Alumni Projects
Thailand Alumni gives New year gifts to abandoned children.
As all the children should have a right to get a box of present on Christmas or new year celebration, Thailand IATSS Forum Alumni got together on 13 December 2013, each one with a gift box to donate to orphans at Chaiyapruk Foundation, the self-sufficient house for abandoned children. We have got a total of 50 gift boxes from Alumni members and these presents were distributed to the abandoned children on 29 December. The children were very happy to have New year gifts this year as normally they don't have a chance like this. The Alumni also donated an amount of money to buy donuts, jelly and candy to give away to the children as a special treat to celebrate the happy time.
"Since we have got a good chance from IATSS Forum that really made us happy, we would like to give some good chances to people around us, a chance that will make them happy, too. And we will surely continue to give back to the society as a part of our Alumni activities." Said the Thailand Alumni president.
Education Charity Event (2013)
A charity event took place in a village community center in Takeo province located on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The purpose of this charity event is to make people to realize the importance of education. This event was mainly led by the 49th IATSS forum participants with the cooperation of other alumni and Cambodian country secretariats to share the knowledge and experiences that they acquired/learned during the IATSS forum with the local students.
There are hardly any educational supplements, such as dictionaries, available to this village. Although most of students in this village have a strong will to learn, they cannot afford to buy any books due to their financial situation.
In order to improve this situation, the event organizers collected contributions from the IATSS forum alumni in Cambodia and also used the contributions that they received during a charity auction they conducted during the 49th forum program. The team did not only provide educational materials but also shared the knowledge and experiences they acquired during the 49th forum, such as a game called "Motivation-up", and "Leadership skill up" activities, with the local students.
By conducting this event, they were able to provide an opportunity for the local students to deepen their knowledge by sharing information with others, to improve the local students' possibilities, to share the knowledge and experiences they acquired from the IATSS forum program and to give hope to the young people of the village.
Cooling Cambodia (2012)
Cambodian Alumni association had an educational workshop regarding the reduction of power consumption in a school in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
This workshop was held as an IATSS Forum alumni association, based on a project that had been planned in group study by Ms. Jamie and other members of the 48th batch in 2011.
Aiming to contribute to the prevention of global warming by reducing power consumption of households in cities, we held a workshop intended to let participants experience the amount of energy required to operate electrical household appliances, like radios and TVs by using a bicycle generator. Through an experience of making toys, such as pinwheels, with recycled paper, this workshop provided an opportunity for people to understand that children have creative playing options without imposing environmental loads other than TV games and programs.
Campus & Community Eco Action Project (2012)
In 2011, this project was implemented as part of alumni activities in the Philippines, based on a project that had been planned in group study by Mr. Ponkoi and other members of the 48th batch in 2011.
This project , which was implemented in Davao City, Philippines by gaining the understanding and cooperation of Mr. Ponkoi's university and local community during the training of the forum, is a realization of a project plan proposed by "3R for 3G," the group research team to which he belonged.
Reports on the implementation status of the first project held on March 2 and 7 are introduced.

International Alumni Meeting
The 7th IATSS Forum International Alumni Meeting
The 7th IATSS Forum International Alumni Meeting took place in June 2013 in Hanoi, Vietnam. 80 alumni from nine Asian countries came together, in addition to approximately 100 people which included members from the IATSS forum committee, the Embassy of Japan in Vietnam and Honda Vietnam.
During the meeting, based on "The Suzuka Declaration 2012", information about the future of the IATSS forum and a look back over our 28 years of activities, was shared with the alumni. This time, an alumni survey was conducted, to investigate how the IATSS forum's training has affected alumni's lives and these results were shared with the attendees.
The results of the meeting were summarized into a document called "The Hanoi Declaration 2013". Representatives from each country signed this document and promised to promote the IATSS forum in their country. The Hanoi City tour was also held on another day, and we discovered the beauty of Hanoi's traditions and culture.
2013 is the 40th Anniversary of the Japan-Vietnam and Japan-ASEAN diplomatic relations. We strongly believe that this reunion has strengthened our relations which will lead to consistent development of the IATSS forum and better relationships among members of ASEAN region and Japan.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell may be planning to tie the knot with her Russian boyfriend Vladimir Doronin. Mirror.co.uk reports that Campbell has left Britain to set up home with her billionaire beau in Moscow.
"When Vlad asked her to move into his penthouse, she didn't think twice. She has started Russian lessons and is making a real effort to bond with his friends," said a source. Doronin also bought her a Van Cleef black diamond skull ring.
"It might not be an engagement ring but a wedding is on the cards – it seems the next logical step," added the source.
Campbell, 39, met Doronin, 47, at the Cannes Film Festival 18 months ago.

tyntec Announces Appointment of New CEO Steve Liddell; Long-time CEO Michael Kowalzik steps down to pursue new challenges
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Munich -- tyntec, a Germany-based mobile interaction specialist, today announced the appointment of Steve Liddell as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) effective November 19, 2012. The appointment of Liddell, an experienced executive in the technology and telecommunications field, signals the next phase of tyntec's growth.
Liddell takes over from long-time CEO Michael Kowalzik, who is leaving tyntec for personal reasons. Kowalzik departs on excellent terms with the company having laid the groundwork for further growth. Following eight years at tyntec's helm, he is stepping down to take time off and spend more time with his family, as well as seek new challenges.
Liddell has a proven track record of growing sales, building strong teams and scaling complex businesses across multiple disciplines in the US, Asia and Europe. His unique background combining telco infrastructure, 4G wireless and Internet software makes him an ideal fit for the company.
Steve began his telecommunications career at British Telecom, working in London and Atlanta. After 6 years at BT, he moved to Virginia where he built the international submarine cable business for MFS (a US fiber operator later acquired by WorldCom) before moving to Hong Kong. There, as President of the Asia Pacific region for MCI-Worldcom, he secured a unique set of licenses and built an extensive business covering eight countries. In 1999, he became an early member of US fiber operator Level 3 Communications, where he built and divested their Asian business, before returning to the US where he ran the company's fiber, transport, infrastructure, colocation and IP business units. After a total of 6 years at Level 3, in March 2005, Steve then moved into the mobile world as COO of Clearwire International where he was responsible for the international operations of this early stage WiMAX operator.
More recently, Steve has worked as an independent consultant advising leading private equity firms - a role in which he led the acquisition of eastern European telecommunications operator GTS. Steve was also CEO of Panther CDN, which he divested in 2009, before becoming President of Florida-based CDN business Highwinds, a role he held until his return to the UK in mid 2011.
"tyntec has a track-record for innovation in the industry. It is a well-run, well-backed company with a strong team and a number of products that will be of profound benefit to a rapidly changing industry. This is exactly the kind of opportunity that I enjoy," Liddell said.
Outgoing CEO Michael Kowalzik said: "It is a matter of great personal pride that I have been involved in seeing the company grow from just a handful of people to the global 150-person firm it is today. But following many years at tyntec's helm, it was time for me to step down to spend more time with my family and pursue new challenges in the venture and investment market. I would like to wish Steve all the best, and I have no doubt, that with the solid foundation of the company and a number of innovations in the pipeline, coupled with his experience, tyntec is ideally placed to flourish in the next 10 years." Dr. Ralph Eric Kunz, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board, said: "Michael departs tyntec in amicable agreement with the shareholders having completed a full knowledge transfer. We would like to take the opportunity to express our thanks for the highly successful and trustful work together and we wish him much success for the future, both on a personal and professional level." "Steve is an experienced executive whose telco infrastructure background combined with his track record for growing businesses made him the ideal candidate for tyntec. We are very pleased to welcome him to the company and look forward to working with him in the future," Kunz added.

Fork Spoon
Two million Sri Lankans are already reported to be suffering from Diabetes. Another two million are at risk. To create awareness around this issue, we took your average teaspoon and cut slits in it to resemble a fork. As a result, you would have used less sugar, thus decreasing blood sugar levels and the threat of suffering from Diabetes. This teaspoon was distributed across a local chain of restaurants and picked up by national television, enlightening the entire nation on its benefits and how we can prevent the risk of Diabetes.

Idea is good. However, would have been even clearer if its a perforated spoon rather than a Spork. The similarity to the fork is just leading viewers to think in a different direction.
This is really a great idea. It works very well. I think you should get patent rights for this spoon n take it forward.
bite me
Sounds like it picked up well in the media. Good stuff :)
i disagree.. it's not such a good idea, because if creating a fork from a spoon is a great idea, i don't get a good ad !
honestly, i got diabetes, and a fork spoon won't teach me or anyone else how to consume less sugar..
and the fact that shine my point is that they needed to communicate through so many medias just to talk about this little idea..
an ad or action of communication need to be understood by itself,it's not supposed to have explanation to get it
@ jponino - The idea here is not creating a fork from a spoon. So your point is lost. I don't think they have given any explanations or whatsoever in order to understand the idea(the communication) therefore again your point is lost. pls look around to understand how important is the media support for ambient/action work. yes its a simple yet a great idea.
But originality and simplicity and relevance does. ;)

I think this Fork Spoon have specially made for the diabetics. Diabetics should always try to avoid eating sugar and therefore, now number of artificial sweeteners are available to control blood sugar level
Idea is good. However, would have been even clearer if its a perforated spoon rather than a Spork. The similarity to the fork is just leading viewers to think in a different direction.

Skills that are involved and required for an individual with these aspiration are hardworking, understanding, interest in being part of many fields, events, or business occasions
Skills required/demanded in your chosen occupation/role

Universities and colleges set their own admission requirements for higher education courses, so they vary broadly. Depending on the course, graduate student may be able to get into higher education with a range of qualifications. If you're applying to do a Foundation Degree course, you may find that work experience is taken into consideration alongside any qualifications you have. Some higher education institutes and colleges offer Foundation Years as preparation for a certain degree courses. They usually don't result in separate criteria as they simply qualify you to enter the degree program itself. Foundation Years aren't within reach for all degree courses, however.
Latvia has both fee-paying and state-financed higher education. The country has two kinds of higher education courses. These include the academic and professional programs. There are three levels of academic higher education – bachelor's, master's and doctoral studies.

Greece's new finance minister Euclid Tsakalotos has arrived at a meeting of European finance ministers today without any new proposals for reform, according to multiple sources.
Instead, Tsakalotos put forward European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker's proposals – the same ones Greeks rejected in the referendum on Sunday – but with amendments.
Those proposals included keeping a VAT rebate for Greek islands and a VAT rate of 13 per cent for restaurants.
* Greece says will submit new aid proposal "maybe" Wednesday - senior Eurozone official - RTRS
— Fabrizio Goria (@FGoria) July 7, 2015
The Tuesday meeting had been billed as Greece's last chance to salvage a bailout deal from its European lenders after a referendum on Sunday in which the Greek people overwhelming voted against European proposals for reform.
Another #eurozone official says #Greece delegation has now made oral presentation on proposals. Written submission comes tomorrow.
— Peter Spiegel (@SpiegelPeter) July 7, 2015
The news that Greece came to the summit without new ideas only added to frustrations in a crisis replete with last chances and short on actual progress.
However a Greek government spokesman confirmed that Greece was putting forward the same proposals as before the referendum. "The government put forward its proposals last week. They hadn't been discussed then at eurogroup because the eurozone finance ministers said they would wait for the referendum," the spokesman said.
EU ministers were not going to stay in Brussels until Wednesday to discuss any proposals that surfaced, according to reports. Instead Greece's three lenders, the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund, would look over the proposals before another meeting.
The summit was Tsakalotos's first job as finance minister after Yanis Varoufakis resigned on Sunday.
Awkward https://t.co/xtSeYcVIen— Danny Kemp (@dannyctkemp) July 7, 2015
He walked straight past the waiting press on arrival at a midday meeting of European finance ministers, in sharp contrast to Varoufakis, who was known for being outspoken.Reuse content

The Anti-Gravity Suit
My sculptor/painter husband, once quipped "we put up memorials so that we can forget".
But what of the history we have never remembered?
The iconographic and quirky have always engaged our memory short term. My History Challenge is directed to an Australian scientist who deserves to be better known. The anti-gravity suit was one of the Australian war-time firsts. Although its invention was adopted world wide almost nothing is recorded of its Australian origins, or of Professor Frank Cotton's pioneering work in creating the prototype suit, which was subsequently developed in America.
In 1940 Cotton a physiologist, built the first human centrifuge at Sydney University. Staff at the Medical School staff at that time must have been mystified at the number of young airmen who arrived fir and well and mysteriously lost consciousness and were later revived in the quadrangle.
They were young volunteers who were strapped by their legs to centrifuge subjected to high G force and hooked to instruments to determine when clack out would occur.
There was a desperate need for RAAF pilots to avoid falling out of the sky when diving sharply to avoid or deliver enemy fire. The experiments were held under tight wartime security. It was only when a technical problem occurred with making a mould of a human figure that my husband, Arthur Murch was call in.
Here are his recollections:
I worked with Professor Cotton on his flying suit-pnuematic britches, which put pressure on the legs to prevent blood flowing the brain and causing blackouts. The process was so secret his assistant had made their own prescriptions for casting. For all their care they made the biggest mistake by standing the man in a bucket then pouring in the mixture, which contained cement. He was set solid. In the end they had to chisel him out of it.
Murch used his sculpting skills to make a two part releasing mould. From these the rubber suit was poured.
On February 19, 1942, the day of the major Japanese air attack, Frank Cotton arrive back in Darwin fresh from talks with the war chiefs. The British approved the anti-gravity suit, the Americans issued orders for immediate manufacture. All transport had left Darwin in the evacuation. Using the only available vehicle, a railway tricycle, the indomitable Frank Cotton accompanied by an American naval officer shunted down the railway line until they managed to find a truck to take them to Melbourne.
Frank's nephew Monte Cotton was the pilot for the RAAF. With Squadron Leader Ken Roberston, he tested the first flying suit. In a letter to the Sydney Morning Herald in 1945 Monte wrote:- "Today's anti-blackout suit is still a sophisticated version of Frank's early version developed from one of the first human centrifuge in the world, in fact the first in on e the Allied side in the second World War."
Frank Cotton was a fine sportsman, and during his time as Research Professor of Physiology at Sydney University his scientific methods revolutionised sport in Australia, particularly in swimming, track athletics, rowing and football. He invented an ergonometer to test the endurance of the athletes, and was advisor at the 1952 Helsinki Games. He was adviser to swimming champion Jon Henricks, Peter Evatt in rowing and Edwin Carr in running.
To aid his knowledge of human physiology frank used his sisters as guinea pigs Janet remembered endless experiments climbing stairs with a peg on her nose. Ethel once swung in a hammock for hours with her arm tied to a brick, in testing endurance levels he did not spare himself either and once broke his neck cycling.
Frank Stanley Cotton 1890-1955 was educated at Sydney High School and the University of Sydney, where in 1913 he was appointed lecturer in physiology. Awarded a Rockefeller scholarship in 1932 he spent 18 months on research in the U.S. In 1941 he was appointed Research Professor at the University of Sydney.
The anti-gravity suit is held at the Macleay Museum, at the University of Sydney. A mall exhibition was held to display the suit on the occasion of a visit by U.S. scientific personnel. There is no money available at the Museum for the preservation of the suit, or for its public display.
Arthur Murch was appointed Australian War Artist July 1942 arrive in Darwin following the Japanese air raid, and recorded scenes of the devastation following the bombing.

Capstone Project
The Environmental Sciences and Policy (ESP) program at Johns Hopkins offers a Capstone Project as one of the last courses that a student takes in their program. This experience is optional for those doing the general degree but is required for those doing one of the concentrations. The Capstone experience requires students to develop a research project that builds on material learned in their program of study in environmental sciences and policy.
Students must work with a mentor to develop the project. The mentor can be a faculty member in ESP, someone elsewhere at JHU, or from an outside organization. For more information, please view the Mentor Guidelines.
Instructor permission is required in order to register for this course as a project proposal needs to be developed the semester before the course is taken. The Capstone should result in a deliverable, such as a written report, a formal presentation of results. For more information, please view the Capstone Guidelines and consult the course instructor Daniel Zachary (firstname.lastname@example.com.)

BeschreibungTerrestrial mass movements (i.e. cliff collapses, soil creeps, mudflows, landslides etc.) are severe forms of natural disasters mostly occurring in mountainous terrain, which is subjected to specific geological, geomorphological and climatological conditions, as well as to human activities. It is a challenging task to accurately define the position, type and activity of mass movements for the purpose of creating inventory records and potential vulnerability maps. Remote sensing techniques, in combination with Geographic Information System tools, allow state-of-the-art investigation of the degree of potential mass movements and modeling surface processes for hazard and risk mapping. Similarly, through statistical prediction models, future mass-movement-prone areas can be identified and damages can to a certain extent be minimized. Issues of scale and selection of morphological attributes for the scientific analysis of mass movements call for new developments in data modeling and spatio-temporal GIS analysis. The book is a product of a cooperation between the editors and several contributing authors, addressing current issues and recent developments in GI technology and mass movements research. Its fundamental treatment of this technology includes data modeling, topography, geology, geomorphology, remote sensing, artificial neural networks, binomial regression, fuzzy logic, spatial statistics and analysis, and scientific visualization. Both theoretical and practical issues are addressed.

30 Games I'd Put On The N64 Classic, Which Will Never Exist
Like this, but smaller and more hypothetical. SNES Classic wishlists? So two thousand and late: I'm gonna scoop everybody and write the 30 games I want to see on the Nintendo 64 Classic, which not only doesn't exist, it isn't even rumored to, and probably won't. Check and mate. Advertisement The release of Nintendo 64 in 1996 was the culmination of an orgy of hype and anticipation that the gaming world had never before experienced prior to the launch of a new console. The honeymoon was over as soon as the thing came out, with expectations paling in the shadow of reality and sales slumping accordingly. PlayStation ruled the roost, but Sony's CD-ROM media and adult-oriented game library made N64 a better choice for kids, and so there's still a lot of nostalgia there. One would think that the tepid reaction of software makers to the N64 would make our job here pretty easy: "Does N64 even have 30 games?" you may be snarkily, if correctly, asking. There are only 21 N64 games on the Wii U Virtual Console, so an N64 Classic is going to require some new license wrangling on READ FULL STORY AT KOTAKU!

Washington won his Olympic debut, staging a second-set comeback to beat Jan Kroslak of the Slovak Republic 6-3, 7-6. Washington, Wimbledon finalist this year, won after trailing 4-1 in the second set.
Third-seeded Thomas Enqvist of Sweden needed two hours to beat Marc-Kevin Goellner of Germany 7-6, 4-6, 6-4. In women's play, second-seeded Conchita Martinez of Spain beat Patty Schnyder of Switzerland 6-1, 6-2.
Monica Seles is having a great time so far at her first Olympics, and not just because of Tuesday's 6-0, 6-4 opening-round victory over Li Chen of China.
Andre Agassi also made a successful Olympic debut Tuesday, beating Sweden's Jonas Bjorkman 7-6, 7-6. Both Agassi and Seles are seeded No 1.

No broadcaster should be subject to regulation by more than one European Union country. A satellite broadcaster came within the jurisdiction of a member state by being established there as a company, not by transmitting from within its boundaries, unless as a company it was established outside the Union.
In two judgments given the same day, the European Court of Justice declared that both the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Belgium had failed to fulfil their obligations under Council Directive 89/552/EEC of 3 October 1989 on the coordination of certain provisions concerning the pursuit of television broadcasting activities.
The Directive provided by article 2:
1. Each Member State shall ensure that all television broadcasts transmitted by broadcasters under its jurisdiction, or by broadcasters who, while not being under the jurisdiction of any Member State, make use of a frequency or satellite capacity granted by, or ... situated in, that Member State, comply with the law applicable to broadcasts intended for the public in that Member State.
2. Member States shall ensure freedom of reception and shall not restrict retransmission on their territory of television broadcasts from other Member States for reasons which fall within the fields coordinated by this Directive.
An exception under article 2 was provided in respect of broadcasts which infringed article 22, by including
programmes which might seriously impair the physical, mental or moral development of minors, in particular those that involve pornography or gratuitous violence.
Such programmes could be suspended by the receiving member state in accordance with Community law.
In Commission v UK, it was contended that the provisions of the Broadcasting Act 1990 contravened the Directive by, inter alia, purporting to assert jurisdiction through licensing over non-domestic services regardless of the broadcaster's place of establishment.
Section 43 of the 1990 Act drew a distinction between two categories of "satellite television services" namely domestic and non-domestic, both of which required a licence.
A "domestic" satellite service meant one which transmitted programmes by satellite from a place in the UK on a frequency allocated to the UK and for general reception in the UK.
A "non-domestic" satellite service meant one which transmitted programmes by satellite (a) from a place in the UK, for general reception in the UK or in a member state otherwise than on an allocated frequency, or (b) from a place outside the UK or any member state for general reception in the UK or in a member state where the programme material was provided by a person in the UK who had editorial control over programming content.
The court upheld the Commission's complaints that section 43 did not comply with article 2 of the Directive in four respects, in that it (i) applied criteria other than that of establishment for determining which broadcasters fell within the UK's jurisdiction; (ii) applied a criterion which was not relevant for the purposes of such jurisdiction, namely that of reception; (iii) failed to make third-country broadcasts falling under the UK's jurisdiction subject to UK law; and (iv) applied different regimes to domestic and non-domestic satellite services.
In Commission v Belgium, the court ruled that Belgium had failed to fulfil its obligations under the Directive by, inter alia, maintaining within both the French-speaking and the Dutch-speaking regions, systems of prior authorisation for the retransmission by cable of television broadcasts emanating from other states; and maintaining within the French-speaking region a system of express, conditional prior authorisation for the retransmission of broadcasts from other member states which contained commercial advertising or teleshopping programmes especially intended for viewers in the French community.
The court ruled that it was solely for the member state from which a broadcast emanated to monitor the application of its own laws to such a broadcast and to ensure compliance with the Directive, and that the receiving member state was not entitled to exercise its own control in that regard.
Only in the circumstances provided for in relation to article 22 might the receiving member state exceptionally suspend retransmission of televised broadcasts.Reuse content

Ed Balls: Coalition 'lacks clear financial plan for UK'
Speaking to the Today programme ahead of his speech at the Labour Party Conference in Manchester, Mr Balls outlined his plans to use the £3-4bn made from the sale of the 4G mobile spectrum to fund the building of new houses in the UK.
He said: "I can set out today that we would now build 100,000 homes using the 4G mobile phone money to kickstart the recovery and get people back to work."
Mr Balls also claimed the coalition government currently lacks a clear financial plan for Britain's future.
"What I can do is criticise the economy being in recession, the deficit going up. I think the coalition is finding it very hard to come up with any plan at all," he said.

Serve Champagne to add an elegant, light touch to this terrific brunch menu.
Leave a Review
I beg to differ with all the reviewers. I had high hopes when I read the recipe but after making it, I didn't think this was such a great dish.
Just made it again last night, and so I'm here to reprint the recipe for the upteenth time, as every time I serve it at a dinner party, someone will beg for the recipe. It's that good.
Yummy. My favorite way to eat asparagus.
WOW...I'm not sure what more I can say...just WOW. I allowed the flavors to meld before placing this dish on the table and it was simply amazing. I will definitely serve this many more times and I'm sure I will receive the same "WOW" reaction every time.
Good recipe but nothing different-bacon, asparagus, and cheese...
Loved the flavor. 500 degrees for 7 minutes was too long -- over-cooked the asparagus a bit, which were definitely "medium" sized. Next time I'd go for 5 minutes instead.
Simple and delicious! I only gave it 3 stars because I didn't include the bacon, so technically don't know what the full recipe tastes like, but even without it it was fantastic. A definite keeper.
Wow. Fantastic. And I used turkey bacon. Can't wait to serve this at Easter dinner!
Wonderful side dish! I took the suggestion from a previous viewer and added chopped roasted hazelnuts and pancetta instead of bacon. Didn't use as much goat cheese as listed. Served at room temperature at a pot luck dinner.
This dish is awesome! Easy, and tastes fantastic. Next time, I might throw in some walnuts, maybe hazelnuts to add a little texture. It would also be fantastic with pancetta.

TestsLive removes the pain from certification qualification
All the time and energy that certification exam preparation always requires is what makes me hate the process so much. I know that given my career choice I will always be subject to ongoing certification requirements, at least if I want to advance. So since this is a long term thing for me, I knew I needed to find some sort of powerful resources for making success more readily achievable. With the F5 Solution Expert certification exam I decided to give a shot to TestsLive to see if they could fill this need and they came through with shining colors! I highly recommend them! ! !

In this vast world of internet learning resources, there are many places in which to obtain information. Unfortunately, there is a lot of garbage out there as well. I was a victim of a scam so I've been very careful when online. Then someone told me about TestsLive, so I checked it out. I was so impressed with the demo video that I decided to order the preparation exam simulator for the F5 Solution Expert certification, since I needed it to get to the next level at my job. It was simply outstanding the way it was prepared! I can attest it's the best thing out there.

All I had to do was to read the information a few times, take the fabulous practice tests until I was sure I could hack it, chat online with an TestsLive expert about a few doubts, and presto, I was ready to pass the exam, the F5 Solution Expert certification test. My test results were outstanding, thanks to TestsLive.

Make daily life simpler, with home appliances and solutions that ease the pressure of everyday life and are equipped with state-of-the-art technology. When these appliances are also kind to the environment and save valuable resources, then nothing more stands in the way of improved quality of life.
Exceptional people work as part of a strong global network at BSH to make this a reality. Our employees are extremely committed, professional and globally networked. They develop constantly by learning from one another and have in-depth knowledge about consumers, our products and the sector.
Contributing to significantly improving quality of life and thus being the first choice for consumers is our constant goal. We are proud of our modern home appliances and 14 strong brands – but it takes more than that to be among the frontrunners.
And achieving this "more" is a challenge we gladly accept. Every day. We shape the digital future of connected living with innovations to meet daily requirements. Our focus is on the needs of our consumers, and we continuously deepen our understanding of them. We combine our technical expertise with new opportunities for improved ease of use, and create products that stir passion by enriching our everyday lives. That's because we want to ensure that our brands continue to be among the strongest in the home appliance market and can meet the future challenges of the digital revolution.
But for us, it's also about the people who are behind BSH. We recognize that we can only achieve our objectives by working together. We therefore encourage our employees according to their potential and ensure an agile, open working environment based on trust.
What will the world of tomorrow look like? A question we can answer at BSH with new home appliances and solutions, because our future will be driven by innovations for everyday life. At BSH, we want to develop products that inspire and meet the demands of a modern tomorrow.
Innovations require not only pioneering spirit and inventiveness, but also creativity and experience. The more diverse these influences on the development of innovative home appliances and solutions, the better these will be. We are proud that our global network comprises people from diverse backgrounds, who contribute to the success of BSH through their varied talents.
BSH can offer consumers a wide brand diversity and thus meet the most varied requirements for home appliances. As our wealth of knowledge about the market and our consumers continues to grow each day, we can be purposeful and agile in breaking new ground. With an eye constantly on the benefit to the consumer, innovative home appliances and first-rate, forward-looking solutions are developed every day at BSH in interdisciplinary teams.
The digital world is our present. Connected solutions that simplify and enrich our lives are becoming increasingly important. Backed by our user experience core competence across brands, we develop mobile and digital innovations at BSH aligned to the needs of our users. Our consumers are always at the center of what we do. Our key question is: "How do our users experience our products?" We use the knowledge we have gained to ensure that new solutions fit the future product expectations and wishes of consumers even better, and that they are satisfied.
The strongest pillars for ensuring sustainable growth, progress and stability at BSH are its corporate values and, in this context, responsible action in particular. In addition, we take the topics of sustainability and our contribution to environmental and climate protection very seriously in the course of developing resource-friendly and energy-efficient home appliances.

Our employees are significant contributors. We know and value this. That's why we offer our employees an attractive remuneration package with added benefits that extend beyond statutory or collective agreement regulations.
Our compensation & benefits policy ensures a transparent and competitive remuneration.
Different people and cultures from all parts of the world – this makes our company not only diverse but also unique. Hand in hand with this is what we understand makes a company successful for everyone: open dialog at all times, mutual respect, fairness in dealing with others as well as a partnership-based management culture that encourages performance.
We don't just talk about diversity – we live it. For us this means appreciating our employees in their differences and similarities. The topic of diversity has therefore been firmly anchored as a strategic topic in the company strategy for several years, with the emphasis on aspects such as internationality, gender and age.
We are convinced that the varied experiences, perspectives and skills of our employees have a positive impact our company's success and likewise illustrate the diversity of our customers and their wishes. We therefore specifically promote interdisciplinary cooperation in international teams in order to develop innovative ideas and tailored solutions.
We promote and support women. Around 30 percent of our employees are women. We actively encourage our female employees to reach their potential.
We gladly accept the challenge of demographic change, in accordance with the motto: "Shaping the future". We greatly value the many years' experience and in-depth capabilities of our senior employees and want to benefit in the long term from their performance potential. We have a variety of offers especially for our senior employees, such as individual support measures or ergonomic workplaces for example. We therefore contribute significantly to maintaining as healthy a working environment as possible.
We are convinced that people who can flexibly combine their professional and private lives are more balanced and satisfied. We therefore play our part in ensuring that our employees can achieve this balance. This also applies if they want to work from home some of the time or need time for further training and education for example.
Health is the most vital commodity. We have therefore defined uniform standards for our production facilities so as to ensure a healthy as well as ergonomic and safe workplace. In addition, health checkups and fitness programs are an integral part of our health management.
The digital revolution poses significant challenges for our sector that impact the entire value chain. We are prepared and willing to do whatever it takes not only to accompany this change but to be at the absolute forefront of driving it forward. With our connected products and services, we offer an outstanding user experience throughout the product life cycle. We always keep our consumers in mind: in our user experience labs, we develop innovative products that are tailored precisely to the current needs of consumers and that satisfy the strictest design and technology standards. Our home appliances with integrated Home Connect are a good example of this.
At BSH, we rely on an interdisciplinary approach in international teams using agile working methods to implement our innovative developments. Work areas are therefore created for this purpose in project centers in which all disciplines involved in product projects are bundled in order to work collectively on a concrete solution, for example for refrigeration technology. (Link to press release)
Innovative working at BSH is also supported by workshop events, such as the BSH Hackathon (link to press release), thus promoting the exchange of knowledge between developers and user experience experts.
BSH unites brand diversity – for customers with the most varied demands on home appliances. This provides us with a wealth of knowledge about the market and its consumers. The major advantage for our employees is that they have the opportunity to switch between divisions in the course of their career at BSH or to also get to know different brand worlds, expand their knowledge and make use of new development opportunities.
Everyone loves to win an award. And we are no different. It is even more pleasing to have received the coveted international "Top Employer Europe" award (Belgium, Germany, England, France, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Turkey) for the fourth time in succession from the independent Top Employers Institute. We have also been certified as "Top Employer Asia Pacific" (Australia, China, India, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand) and as "Top Employer USA".
We encourage interests and individual initiative at BSH. We offer excellent career prospects if our employees want to make a change and not only apply their know-how abroad but also expand it. This also applies to those who want to work for us abroad as part of a temporary transfer. We look after our employees who move abroad (expatriates) and their families.
We also support partners of expatriates who accompany them in the move abroad by providing service providers to assist in looking for employment, professional development or social integration – depending on the legal framework in the country of assignment and on personal preferences.
You too have an opportunity to develop new markets together with us, for example, in India, Taiwan or Kazakhstan.

'Orientalism' has successfully built my critical awareness to question and see the big picture of knowledge, perspective or idea from a Western point of view and always see things from different perspective.

Women become the objects of rules: they are repressed and lose their rights in the name of religion, or they lose their freedom in the name of tradition, while the state legitimates this foolishness with laws.
