The online aged care certification 3 course is designed to provide training to the workers who want to engage with care services in residential facilities, nursing homes, society care and community, hospital, organization, and disability care centers which are community based.
Basically, this rewarding course reflects the role of workers who follow an individualized plan for the provision of person-centered care who require care and support due to aging or might be a disability.
Certificate in aged care combines both practical training and theoretical knowledge, which delivers the capacity and ability for assisting individuals in maintaining independence in their home of choice, and support to some of the most vulnerable people in the community.
It is widely recognized and meets the standards of the Australian Qualifications Framework.
For enrolling in this course there are no prerequisite requirements exactly. The course content and length of the course depends upon the kind of enlistment you are entitled to. The students might be able to enroll for the course at any point in time. The study mode for the course is online and the work placement is a minimum of 120 hours.
So what age care careers are out there?
The Australian population is aging. You can estimate that the number of older people (aged 60-85) will almost double over the next 30 years. We can consider the number of very old (85+) will quadruple. Moreover, this course is creating a lot of opportunities for careers in aged care courses like Certification III and Certification IV. Both certification courses are becoming very significant when seeking employment in the home and community care.
Aged-care offers a wide variety of employment opportunities. There are courses to help you take advantage of these opportunities.
There are various opportunities to work in direct care in community services, health services, and residential care facilities and much more. These positions offer opportunities to directly interact with aged people.
These job profiles might include helping older people with social support, personal care, and nursing, providing respite, housework, transport and meal preparation. Aged care courses such as Certificate III, Certificate IV, or nursing qualification will help you find this kind of work.
Apart from that, these job roles can include helping older people with housework, personal care, providing respite, social support, nursing, and transport and meal preparation. Aged-care Courses like a Certificate III, Certificate IV, or nursing qualification will help you find this kind of work. Traineeships and other government funded or free training are also available for eligible employees or job seekers.
Care Coordination and Case Management positions include interaction with clients and their careers to plan care services. Sometimes it includes some of the administrative tasks, rostering and scheduling of staff. Aged care courses like a workplace training, Frontline Management or Certificate IV and assessment are highly regarded.
When nursing assistant certification is achieved, the alternatives are endless. From working in a healthcare facility to working from home visiting the needy in their homes. It can be done in conjunction with any daily duties, regardless of what they may be. Training to acquire nursing assistant certification takes a very less time approximately few weeks, but all wants to work with their comfort zone this is why once again can be adjustable, reliable if required. To become eligible for training, the applicant must be over the age of eighteen, have a high school diploma or equivalent to a degree. However, having a criminal record could result in denial.
An aged care worker is many things; a career, a support network, a listener but most importantly, a friend. Aside from all the personal aging care responsibilities like assisting in showering, dressing, eating walking and dispensing medication, an aged care worker can also make a significant difference in someone’s life by providing friendship or comradery.
Enjoying a cup of tea and sharing life stories and experiences at the end of the day is an invaluable source of nourishment and care. Share their experiences and promote good quality of life by simply being a friend. It is that easy.
The staff of Aged Care works together in a tight-knit team to ensure all clients are receiving the best possible care. Together they all share the similar objective to understanding the personal, physical, emotional, and individual needs of each elderly client in their respective aged care home.
Being an employee of the rewarding team and provides for better interactive skills and knowledge.

You just do not worry about the environment, not only are your friends and colleagues extremely supportive but so are the environments your clients create. A lot of residential care facilities, old age homes, perceive nursing homes, retirement’s villages are bursting with positive attitudes. Along with this, many current age care workers finding clients childish and carefree nature heart-touching), fun loving attitudes and excitement.

How do you re-launch a hit show for its third season, and make it a HOT premiere? Well, first you start looking in The Vault from Stephen Arnold Music for a smokin’ music track, of course. Our friends from the crack promo team at FOX needed to make a big splash for LUCIFER, a dramatic series about how the original “fallen angel” Lucifer gets bored with Hell and moves to L.A. to continue his debauchery on earth. Like – we needed more, right? But through some inspired events, he begins to ponder whether his eternally-damned soul – is perhaps redeemable. That’s pretty heavy stuff for a TV series, so the promo needed a music cut with some dark drama – and heartfelt humanity.
SAM answered the call with a highly-targeted playlist from The Vault, their award-winning production music library. And they hit promo gold when FOX chose the track “Hot Love” from Song Zu, a highly-specialized music library within The Vault.
Working closely with our partners is what really gets us excited at Stephen Arnold Music. Whether it’s an individual promo, or a massive network package, each project gets the same personal service and human touch. We can’t imagine doing it any other way.

GPU is dedicated ASIC for multimedia, gaming applications with optimized texture/render pipeline architecture. Generic Purpose GPU is based upon vendors’ API to boost the float-point performance. PeakStream unleashes the power of ATI GPU via ATI proprietary interface, other platforms are in development. RapidMind trade off the performance for portability by using OpenGL interface.
CELL may be the first generic purpose CPU designed for the multimedia application. There have been some commercial products available in the market besides Sony’s PS3, for example, the acceleration board from mercury.
Clearspeed acceleration board had made a big buzz in the SC2005. It is quite impressive for the computing capacity and power consumption.
This exotic technology has been around for a few year, the main barrier for its popularity is the steep learning curve for the software developers to implement the functionalities in Hardware Description Language(HDL). Some high level programming language either lacks the expressiveness of parallelism or performance.
The main barrier for the co-processor architecture is the memory bandwidth, PCI Express is still the bottleneck for transportation of CPU and acceleration board. Maybe one day, AMD would embed the GPU to the CPU to replace the float-point unit if they could figure out the power consumption and manufacture.
Another challenge comes from the programming language and library. The new programming language designers fall into the dilemma: How could we hide the low-level detail to make it more expressive and intuitive to the programmer and exploit the low-level features to enhance the performance at the same time? We must trade off between them, but where is the turning point?

It is 1757. Across north-eastern America the armies of Britain and France struggle for ascendancy. Their conflict, however, overlays older struggles between nations of native Americans for possession of the same lands and between the native peoples and white colonisers. Through these layers of conflict Cooper threads a thrilling narrative, in which Cora and Alice Munro, daughters of a British commander on the front line of the colonial war, attempt to join their father. Thwarted by Magua, the sinister 'Indian runner', they find help in the person of Hawk-eye, the white woodsman, and his companions, the Mohican Chingachgook and Uncas, his son, the last of his tribe.
Cooper’s novel is full of vivid incident- pursuits through wild terrain, skirmishes, treachery and brutality- but reflects also on the interaction between the colonists and the native peoples. Through the character of Hawkeye, Cooper raises lasting questions about the practices of the American frontier and the eclipse of the indigenous cultures.

A former refugee camp in Hong Kong.
As each situation in life represents a challenge to man and presents a problem for him to solve, the question of the meaning of life may actually be reversed. Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that it is he who is asked. It does not really matter what we expect from life, but rather what life expects from us. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life, he can only respond by being responsible.
In addition to protecting the refugee’s legal rights and providing high quality legal advice, the staff members help to preserve their clients’ dignity. The briefs that they write are significant beyond the fact that they document the traumatic events that took place. Think of the vicarious trauma that the staff endures from hearing details of systemic torture and abuse that happen over and over again. The briefs are significant because they are a written record of the narrative of the suffering that has been endured. They are significant because otherwise, the suffering will be unheard, undocumented, and therefore invisible. They battle against the pain of insignificance. The applications may ultimately be unsuccessful, but their clients are nevertheless tremendously grateful that despite the evil that has been perpetrated upon them, there are others in the world who care enough to listen and bear witness to their suffering.
The attorneys not only document, but they create worth. Carl Rogers taught us that empathy dissolves alienation. Carl Jung said that schizophrenics cease to be schizophrenic when they meet other persons with whom they feel understood. Through the staffs’ patient listening and the attorneys’ attentive sifting through the stories of trauma, the briefs written are Books of Life. When successfully recognized, they provide a new chance at life. Regardless of the application result, the briefs helps to recreate meaningful existence for people whose lives have been ravaged by evil. And the amazing thing is, these highly qualified staff commit to this beautiful work for pitiful wages while living in Hong Kong, one of the most expensive cities in the world. This blog is my tribute to them and my efforts to bear witness and honor the beautiful work that they do.

We recently came across this article about a robot that painted a two-storey mural in San Jose. The robot named Lisa by San Jose startup ViBOT works like a giant vertical printer that shoots paint on the wall. Lisa is able to dramatically reduce the amount of time needed to paint a mural at half the price a human artist would.
But these robots are nothing new. A quick ‘robot paint mural’ search on Google leads me to something closer to home: NTU and their PictoBot, a spray painting robot that can paint 25% faster than two humans.
From the speed of the robot in this video, I think you might mean 0.5 humans.
Technology is moving at such a rate that these inventions shouldn’t be that surprising anymore. ViBOT’s offering fills the gap when it comes to large wall spaces with time and budget constraints that they don’t see themselves stealing artists’ jobs.
In the public space where commissioned murals are one of the main income sources for street/graffiti artists and muralists, I decided to drop a couple of texts to friends in the industry about their thoughts on this new technology being introduced into the market.
SPAZ, visual artist: But then again, I also have a love-hate relationship with technology. The only way I see this working for us is if artists will be able to use this technology, and it’s a bit far-fetched though because this probably costs a bomb too.
Soph O, visual artist: I think it’s a great thing to be able to have new tech and new tools for making work. Safety wise it’ll aid greatly for those who are commissioned a 15-20 storey high building. There won’t be a need to risk one’s life, right? I see it as another medium and it can be convenient if the project is in some faraway place. I’m not pro it nor against it. I think we as artists can find interesting ways to use this technology to our advantage.
Mindflyer, illustrator: Reminds me of the time when they started DTP (Desktop Publishing). Welcome to the new age of big, quick, cheap and ugly! Craft and quality will always prevail but first, you have to live through the initial period of adjustment where cheap bad design will rule the landscape for a while until the community realises how ugly it all is (the clip showing the bad gigantic Korean ads is really an eyesore). The big brands with taste will steer clear of this big, bad, ugly pixel wall printing.
ZERO, urban artist: My first thoughts on it was the finished output looks rather cheap and devoid of the human touch. I don’t think it’ll catch on anytime soon; 3D printers still haven’t caught up as a mainstream thing. Once the cost can be kept down, clients will probably go down that path. In its early stage, it’ll be a novelty but eventually, down the line, it’ll revert back to the traditional way of doing things. Photoshop and all these design tools have been around but it did not make designers obsolete. I think we can make the same argument as when cameras were invented. It was seen as a death knell for painting. Painting was obsolete because image-making became more democratic, but it’s not the case.
ANTZ, graffiti artist: It’s really up to humans to choose if they want actual artists or machines. It is still a matter of “what you see [as the sketch] is what you get”. If it’s hand painted there is more room to play around with it and robots can only do so much.
ANTZ: Well we have a number of clients who want “something painted over there” as compared to “I need an ANTZ piece there”. I am a pretty flexible artist and sadly that is how the Singapore market works.
ZERO: For now we are in this position to do stuff that we specifically do, but most clients just want a mural and not “whose” mural. There are those who want that artistic process as an important factor towards realising the final output and there are clients who just want the final product and do not really care how it was created. It depends on the target consumers. There’s always that value added when one works with an artist but not everyone cares about that.
Soph O: There’s no account for taste and taste takes time to cultivate. There will always be people who will pick a vinyl sticker over a hand-painted sign [or] prefer convenience over craft.
SPAZ: Given that a lot of business owners don’t understand the nuances of art I can imagine how this thing can backfire as well. A robot is a robot and unless they develop the AI, it’ll just print whatever is programmed into it. Without an artist at the heart of the process, it can just be very bleh. It’s also not impossible for corporations to jump on this and turn these walls into ad spaces at the end of the day. We won’t have murals but ad spaces.
The way I see it, human touch: 1, technology: 0.

NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Many folks may fret themselves into a frenzy over the November U.S. elections and whether the world will come to an end on December 21, but for about 1,500 people gathered in New Orleans for the United Astrologers Conference, all will be revealed this week.
“Some of the world’s top astrologers are here to answer questions about the election, the global economy and perhaps even the Super Bowl,” said Madalyn Hillis-Dineen, a 30-year practitioner of astrology and a coordinator of the conference that occurs every four years.
Not to be confused with astronomy, the scientific study of the physical universe, astrology uses non-scientific methods to predict how the relative positions of celestial bodies may influence human behavior and future events.
The idea may seem frivolous to some, but attendees at the conference - which bills itself as the “biggest astrology gathering planet Earth has ever seen” - are dead serious.
Sharp-minded and articulate, the astrologers show a keen sense of history and an acute awareness of political and societal behavior.
They also tend to speak a language that, for an outsider, requires translation.
“Check out that Sun-Neptune conjunction,” Chicago astrologer Caroline Casey said, pointing out the optimistic implications of an astrological chart for the city of New Orleans that was on display at the conference.
“Pluto is no longer in Sagittarius, but world leaders don’t realize it,” London astrologer Roy Gillett, president of England’s Astrological Association, commented on the recent G8 economic summit in Maryland.
Many - who come from as far away as Thailand, India, Australia and South Africa as well as Canada, Mexico and the United States - do not see each other often, and when they do, they like to get right to the point, Hillis-Dineen said.
For anyone who fears the end of the latest “great Mayan cycle,” on December 21 will coincide with the apocalypse, astrologer Tad Mann of Hudson, New York, offers relief.
“Saying that the world will end with the end of the Mayan calendar is like saying that if an automobile’s odometer only goes up to 100,000 miles, the car will disappear when it hits 100,000, but that’s not what happens,” Mann said during a media event at the conference.
“I think it’s very important to recognize that astrology is basically about cyclical phenomena, and when one cycle ends, another starts up,” he said.
So what’s on the agenda when astrologers get together?
Over the six days they will hear from more than 160 speakers on topics such as forecasting, finance, mysticism and politics, share the latest in advanced celestial charting and discuss how to help people become more spiritually attuned to themselves.
Christina Collins, who says describes herself as a third-generation astrologer, said that most want to help others.
“I help people know when it’s safe to have a surgery, when it’s a good time to put a house on the market, or to help them figure out a career path or decide, ‘Should I marry this guy?’ “ she said.
A special panel will weigh in on the November presidential election on Tuesday. “But based on what I’ve seen so far with the charts, my personal feeling is that (President Barack) Obama will probably be re-elected,” over former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, Collins said.

Jeju Parents’ Network for People with Disabilities (JPNPD) recruited the worksop participants from their own network. In addition, they provided funding and also premises where the ICDP meetings with parents took place.
For this project Sangwon translated some of the ICDP materials from English to Korean, such as the 'Introduction of ICDP' by Karsten Hundeide, the 'ICDP leaflet' amd 'I am a person', the ICDP booklet by Karsten Hundeide and Nicoletta Armstrong, which contains the 8 guidelines for good interaction with exercises and home tasks for parents. At the end of the project the participants received a poster with the photos and captions for the 8 guidelines.
" This project participants are parents whose children have developmental disabilities; such parents usually feel a degree of frustration in communicating with their own children. This is because children with developmental disabilities, especially autism, tend to prefer to communicate in other ways, such as music, drawing, body, or written language.
Moreover, parents sometimes underestimate their children and their capacity for communication with others, and this is often strengthened by stigma in society; the inner resources for caring and positive communication with children can be severely hindered due to prejudices.
In this project, my task was not to act as an instructor or lecturer teaching participants theoretical knowledge or behavior strategies for positive communication, but as a facilitator or mediator helping participants to construct individually and collectively a positive conceptions of their child and develop positive communication cycles with their children; they can best do this by building on their own experience and shared personal stories.
At group meetings I used certain methods to enable the participants to construct and reconstruct their knowledge and experience by themselves autonomously, not through lectures. For example, participants held group discussions, shared information and experiences, engaged in analyzing video demonstrations, applied self-assessment and observation exercises, including home tasks and role play. On the other hand, I was a sincere listener and trustful respondent supporting participants in their own processes of reflection and exchange of communicative experience, especially by focusing on their existing positive experience. This is in line with the fact that all human beings have their own resources to actualize their lives toward a more positive direction; most parents can convert challenges towards a positive direction by themselves, once they face their own needs and apply their inner-resources to solve the challenges. Dealing with challenges by oneself leads to a feeling of well-being. Thus, the most important role of a facilitator is to make an emotionally safe haven for caregivers to talk about their own needs and to find their own inner-resources."

This satisfying soup features lentils, potatoes (and optional sweet potatoes) and greens, a trio of compatible ingredients in a mildly curried broth. This is a wonderful soup to come home to on a cold late fall or winter day, so make it on a quiet Sunday and enjoy it when you come home from work the next day. It’s also a good choice to pack in a Thermos, to take to work or school.
Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until translucent. Add the garlic and continue to sauté until both are golden.
Add the lentils, celery, garlic, and water. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat. Cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
Add the potatoes, tomatoes, and curry powder, and seasoning blend, and simmer gently until the potatoes and lentils are tender, about 20 to 30 minutes longer.
Stir in the greens, cilantro, and lemon juice. Adjust the consistency with more water as needed, then season with salt and pepper. Simmer over very low heat for another 5 minutes. Serve at once or if time allows, let stand off the heat for an hour or so, then heat through before serving.
Here are more recipes for Lentils and Peas.
Loved this! Great balance of flavor. The lemon added to the greens packs a satisfying punch. The curry flavor was great but next time I will try Italian spices and Italian-style diced tomatoes. Served eight hearty eaters with leftovers for two lunches.
Thanks, Jan! So glad it was a hit.

Entrepreneurs! start your engines: Entrepreneur Week, North America’s largest annual innovation festival dedicated to the entrepreneurial spirit, will be held in Waterloo November 16-22 and it promises to be another high-octane event to inspire innovation.
Entrepreneur Week is an invigorating week-long festival of events dedicated to celebrating the significant contributions of our greatest community asset – our entrepreneurs!
Waterloo Region is the best place in the world to do a tech startup. Just ask the 200 tech startups doing their thing here. And Entrepreneur Week is a festival unlike any other on the planet. Entrepreneur Week connects entrepreneurs, financiers, students, youth, mentors and the services that support them to success.
I’m still not sure which of the sessions I’ll be able to attend (work commitments make for a busy week) but I know I’ll be at the next edition of StartupCampWaterloo on Wednesday November 18.
By the way, from one the same instigators, there’s FailCamp Waterloo happening on Monday night. The theme is essentially learning from failure, and it sounds like a fun time. Failure seems to be in the air, as Scott Berkun wrote recently about failure, why it needs more attention, and recent initiatives to give it just that.

Creating jobs and wealth in Derry has always been a struggle. During the 19th century, when garment manufacturing was the key industry, Derry was also a railway city. Rail was the main mode of travel and the city was the hub for a network of tracks which drew the people of the north west of Ireland together and connected them to the outside world through intercity lines to Belfast and Dublin. Today, in these times of recession and austerity, the battle for employment is just as arduous and Derry needs to sweat all of its assets in this campaign. In this article, MARK LUSBY, local heritage champion, argues that Derry’s unique railway heritage is such an asset.
As a result of the Troubles and subsequent regeneration, uniquely, Derry is now the only city in Northern Ireland with two surviving Victorian railway terminal stations: the Old Waterside Railway Station, on Duke Street, and the Victoria Road Railway Terminus.
Denis McAdorey, grandfather of Mark Lusby, photographed at the start of his railway career as a fireman with the Belfast and Northern Counties Railway in Belfast. Denis later became an engine driver and operated from the Old Waterside Railway Station.
Both stations are quite intact in spite of their buildings being converted for other commercial purposes down through the years since trains stopped using them.
Derry’s other unique railway heritage asset is the collection currently housed in the Foyle Valley Railway Museum, consisting of two steam engines, a rail-car, several carriages and other railway paraphernalia.
There are two additional steam engines fully restored or being restored by preservation societies elsewhere and just waiting for a request so that they can be returned for display in Derry.
Tourism was one of the key employment creation sectors identified in ILEX’s One Plan and it is certain to be prioritised again within the Community Plan currently being drawn up by the new Derry City and Strabane District Council.

Derry is a relatively small city on the western fringe of Europe. To compete with other cities, we need to offer all of the services that any tourist destination would be expected to provide – quality accommodation, pubs, clubs, art galleries, theatres etc.
However, to really stand out as a tourism city, we need to have a unique story and we need to tell that story in a compelling way. Visitors are looking for experiences that offer a high degree of authenticity.
We can either spend tens of millions of euros and pounds in manufacturing a unique visitor experience, e.g. Titanic Belfast, or we can provide that experience through fully exploiting the authenticity of Derry’s remaining unique built heritage assets.
It would seem that Derry does not have a coherent plan for the conservation and development of the city’s railway heritage. Derry City Council recently invited development bids for the Foyle Valley Railway Museum site at Foyle Road.
The Columbkille steam engine and a diesel rail-car on display at the Foyle Valley Railway Museum in Derry.
Surprisingly, the invitation document included the use of the railway collection, without requiring the potential developer to have any track record in operating or developing a railway museum or in conserving a major industrial heritage collection.
It will also be a shock to railway heritage enthusiasts that, in 2002, the Department for the Environment delisted most of the buildings which made up the former Victoria Road Railway Terminus. These buildings were designed by the famous Irish railway engineer, James Barton, and comprise the only surviving narrow gauge railway terminus in the whole of Ireland!
There is a close connection between the collection in the Foyle Valley Railway Museum and the former Victoria Road Railway Terminus, just across the river. The core of the collection in the Railway Museum was actually used by the County Donegal Railway, which operated out of the Victoria Road Terminus.
It is time for stakeholders in Derry’s railway heritage, i.e. tourism authorities, local authorities, railway preservation societies and private sector property owners, to come together to devise a plan - one which will maximise the job creation potential of this unique heritage asset.

Reactions To Fukushima In Finland, France And The UK – Rupture Or Continuity In The Nuclear Techno-Politics?
Is Science Communication For Scientific Literacy?
It Is No Use Crying Over Spilt Milk?
Everyone is encouraged to post a comment at the end of each manuscript. You may also post a comment on the papers and substance of an entire session by posting a comment at the bottom of this page.
The nuclear disaster in Fukushima which followed in the wake of the 3/11 Tohoku earthquake and Tsunami has been one of the most significant public health crises in modern history, with profound implications for how nuclear energy is perceived. This paper analyzes the nature of risk assessment in the nuclear crisis, examining how the Japanese government and its constituent institutions in the nuclear industry, foreign governments and international nuclear agencies responded to public fears and attempted to manage public opinion in the early phase of the crisis. Based on interviews with Japanese government officials, nuclear experts and foreign embassy officials in Japan, the paper focuses on how foreign governments coordinated their crisis management response with the Japanese government while attempting to appease their expat citizens in Japan in the face of alarmist media coverage, criticism from anti-nuclear activists and pressure by nuclear industry officials to maintain the long-term viability of nuclear energy.
Three days following 3.11, the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) sent an official letter of support to Japan’s Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism assuring him of their readiness to provide any assistance to aid recovery. Beyond condolences for the loss of lives and property, the Secretary General of the UNWTO added his concern for the damage caused to “the beautiful tourism destinations in North eastern part of Tokyo and many of other places.” Far from an isolated incident, this geographical gaffe reflects a multitude of others following the disaster, as international media outlets saturated electronic screens with a menagerie of images, conflated maps, videos, and speculations.For Japan’s tourism sector, the disaster’s mediation had immediate and far reaching economic repercussions, resulting in a dramatic downturn of foreign tourists entering the country and a surprising number of tourists cancelling trips to areas located far from the disaster zone.To a global audience, “Japan,” the nation as a whole, had become unsafe.

“If you spot it you’ve got it” – I love this phrase, in fact I had it in my email signature for quite a while, but I think it’s only true to a certain extent.
Now this can work well in situations such as a treasure hunt contest but not so much in others such as a recruitment process. Modern recruiters are usually time poor and have limited opportunities to interact with and assess their candidates. This increases the likelihood of premature passing of judgement and overlooking some subtle positive traits that could help one decide if the candidate is the best fit for the job.
Also known as “portable skills”, they are developed over the span of a candidate’s career and are essential for adequate performance.
Some of these include interpersonal, organisational and leadership skills, and they are much harder to spot when a recruiter only takes 10 seconds to look at a resume and make a decision. Some recruiters can also be over-fixated with finding qualified candidates that fit the Position Description and overlook others who possess these transferable skills that will help them assimilate into the new role easily and excel.
A good employee not only wants to do the job, but they care about the people with whom they interact with. To him or her, it’s the relationships that counts and this candidate will help to foster a trusting environment that is essential for the well-being of the team.
In a time-pressured environment where a recruiter’s focus is on the candidate’s qualifications and relevant experience, it is easy to overlook this attribute that could help an organisation enhance their organisational culture.
Most organisations highly value employees who can accomplish goals, but there is a difference between the ability to hit KPIs and being truly proactive in their roles. A proactive employee works ahead of the curve and allows time for more thoroughness. He or she is also a person who will use the company’s resources wisely and works actively to improve work processes.
So while you are busy checking off the list of accomplishments made by your candidates, take a step back and start asking the questions that will help you identify this crucial attribute. This is what will set a great hire apart from a good one.
We are talking about the ability for a candidate to problem solve AND also the passion for learning new technologies or solutions. Most candidates will have no problem resolving issues but not many also possess that innate curious mind that pushes him or her to go above and beyond the boundaries of comfort to break away from the inertia of silo thinking that plagues so many organisations.
To make this attribute even harder to spot, candidates these days are usually very well prepared and it is easy to get lost in the vivid pictures they paint of their achievements. A discerning recruiter will have to work doubly hard to avoid falling into this trap.
If you can squeeze out the time, arrange the candidate to meet the team he/she would be potentially joining and observe how he/she handles himself/herself and how he/she interacts with the rest.
The goal is to keep it simple, straightforward and make the assessment relevant so that it allows you to understand what is acceptable, good and great easily.
So what other positive attributes would you remind recruiters and talent managers to look out for? And what do you think can be done to make them more visible during interviews. Love to hear your thoughts.
I think this is where matching technology begins to fail. How do these softer skills get identified or assessed? Can algorithms identify a persons level of empathy or proactiveness? It might be able to pick up transferrable skills and experience but these softer skills associated with capability and competency are much harder to measure.
I do think the softer skills can be included in analytics. Two examples of this are Predictive Hire and Talent Ready. Both tools try and get to the essence of a persons soft skills and then this can be compared to high performers and benchmarks.
But you’re right how far do you go? Where do you use your judgement based on the information in the assessment.
Following anything blindly is not my approach, but in speaking with psychologists about errors in recruitment. That is people who were employed and not successful in the job. In most cases the person who made the decision to employ ignored the assessment report.
This would make a great talk at the ATC!

Just Reinvest NSW welcomes the release of The Royal Commission into the Protection and Detention of Children (NTRC) in the Northern Territory Report, as well as the independent costing completed by Deloitte.
“The clear theme in the over 300 submissions was that we need to reform the system and reduce the number of young people being incarcerated. Justice reinvestment makes this possible”, Chair of Just Reinvest NSW Sarah Hopkins said.
“Strategic community-driven investment into localised early intervention, prevention and diversionary solutions reduces crime and builds local capacity. It is a smarter approach to justice that builds stronger communities by diverting money that would be spent on prisons into community supports and services.
“For Just Reinvest NSW, this means Aboriginal-led, community-driven initiatives to address the underlying causes of crime to prevent it from happening.
Mick Gooda, Commissioner of the NTRC has highlighted the importance of community and early intervention. “The goal for us all must be a system that is child focused, community involved, evidence based, locally tailored and providing support for children and families as early possible,” he said in a 2017 speech to the NT Council of Social Services.
Sarah Hopkins additionally said “The issues the NTRC highlight are not unique to the Northern Territory. We want to see all tiers of the government all over Australia, take action to end the over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the justice system.
“These cannot just remain recommendations. We need a holistic, community-led approach supported by all levels of the government to end the over representation of Aboriginal children and young people in the justice system.
“Right across the country we have correctional systems in place that have proven to be largely ineffective at reducing crime, while having a devastating impact on Aboriginal communities,” she said.

Brothers Bob and Wayne McClain, life-long residents of Tennessee's Carter County area, established McClain's in January 1984.
What began as a small office located in a rental property in downtown Elizabethton, TN has grown well over the past two decades.
The McClain brothers, who formally worked for a Bristol-based pest control company, in the 1990's were like all other prospective business owners. The duo had natural fears of not being successful.
Due to good management techniques, hard-working employees, but most of all customers who were willing to give the company an opportunity to succeed, McClain's has been fortunate to see its number of clientele grow and services continue to increase year after year.
In the fall of 1995, McClain's constructed a new office at 1830 West Elk Avenue in Elizabethton, TN. We now employ 14 people and the potential for future growth is bright.
McClain's offers more than 50 years of combined knowledge and experiences. All technicians are trained and certified through the University of Tennessee. Technicians are certified in the state of Virginia as well.
Services available through McClain's include: monthly pest control for business and individuals, clearance letters for people selling or refinancing their homes, and soil poisons for new construction.
Also, persons concerned about wood-destroying insects, such as termites, wood borers, and powder post beetles are able to obtain free estimates with no obligation for treatment of their homes or businesses.
McClain's is a member of the Tennessee Pest Control Association, as well as the National Pest Management Association.
Roger "Woody" Lyons is the company's General Manager. Lyons has been working with McClain's since 1987.
Supervisor of Pest Technicians is Roger Norris, who has been employed with us since 1989.
In the year 2007, McClain's was voted "No 1 Pest Control Company" in 3 area newspapers - Elizabethton Star, Johnson City Press, and Bristol Herald Courier. THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING US!!!

“The Storming of the Bastille”, by Jean-Pierre HouÃ«l. Public Domain.
This episode was a treat. I was lucky enough to interview A Peoples’ Remembrancer, Peter Linebaugh, on Bastille Day. These comments are taken from that conversation. We spoke about a lot of things, including Bastille Day; the Green and Red struggles of May Day; prisons, plantations, & the factory as locations of struggle; coal miners; the lungs as part of the nature; rewilding the cities; welfare as referring to wellness; how the magical Will is a social creation and becomes more powerful when shared collectively; and revolt as a Peoples’ Magic.

After a much-longer-than-I’d-like break, we are finally back with another episode of the Crafted Recordings Podcast. This episode is an extended discussion of the Commons, with contributions from David Bollier, George Caffentzis, Massimo de Angelis, Peter Linebaugh, and Dr. Bones.
The music came from several sources. Thanks to The Droimlins â€” Eddy Dyer on guitar and Jimmy Otis on accordion â€” with their songs â€œHorse Hooves on the Steppes of Eurasia (765 AD)” and â€œTenement Polka.” Also thanks to Eddy Dyer for his vocals and Ethan Winer for his bass on our punk-tinged cover of â€œYou Don’t Know What You’ve Got” by Ral Donner. Above all, thanks to the birds in the forest for allowing me to record their conversations one morning.
For a detailed discussion on the content of this episode — both on what The Commons is and why I am using the term “magic” to describe it — is available on the writeup over at Gods & Radicals.
I’m posting about another podcast intro I did for a client. I really enjoy working with podcast clients. There are so many podcasts, with a myriad of topics and styles, to suit everyone’s individual taste. The biggest challenge in producing podcast music is to get “tuned in” to the vibe of each one, so that I can deliver the goods in a way that pleases the client.
This time, I worked with Jarrod Warren of the Success 101 Podcast. As I always do with clients, we had a detailed conversation about what he wanted it to sound like, and he gave me several specific examples of the music he liked, what he had been using, and other sonic elements he liked from other sources.
Check out Jarrod’s Success 101 podcast, on iTunes or Soundcloud.
Do you have a podcast? Does it a need some custom music or an intro? Contact me, and we can get the ball rolling.
Multi-instrumentalist Jimmy Otis and songsmith Eddy Dyer, both formerly of The Reagan Babies have again joined forces to create The Droimlins, Lowell’s newest Celtic Gypsy Punk outfit; regaling you with songs of Drinking And Rebellion.
The recording was done very simply, in a small, untreated room. It was done live in one take to preserve the performance aspect of what they do. The arrangement on this song is fantastic, the interplay between the guitar and the accordion, with the vocals sitting right on top, is really good.
I recorded the accordion with 2 dynamic microphones that have excellent sound and fantastic rear rejection, so I could maximize separation from the guitar & Eddy’s voice. Accordions produce sounds from both ends, so you really need 2 mics to do it justice. I used a pair of ribbons to record Eddy’s acoustic guitar, along with a tube mic for Eddy’s vocals. These all gave really nice tones, despite the very far from perfect room, with lots of flexibility during the mix. Because there was significant bleed between everything, I didn’t bother recording room mics, and they weren’t needed in the mix.
In addition to this project, I am working with Eddy on his upcoming solo album. Please support him if you can, it’s going to be excellent.

The weather here has been very unusual. The abundance of moisture isn’t, but it’s about 20 degrees warmer than average for December. There’s been a lot of rain and fog, and almost no snow or ice thus far. It reminds me of early spring weather, when the thaw is underway and mist lingers in the air. The sounds of moisture in this episode come from both this past week and last spring.
In previous episodes, all the background music was something I’d recorded or mixed, but for the first time here I am including music I had nothing to do with recording. Disemballerina’s music is excellent, and creates a lovely mood for this episode. They were kind enough to let me use their songs Black Angel Trumpet, Two Crows, That is the Head of One Who Toyed with My Honor, and Year of the Horse. These songs are available on their bandcamp page more or less as you hear in this podcast, with a few volume & EQ adjustments to fit the music in with the rest of the recordings in this episode.
Dr. Bones gives us another sermon this episode, on the fractured relationship between domesticated primates and the natural world around us.
Lastly, Kirsten Hale, the Crazy Herbalist, tells us the story of when she met rosemary. Turns out she’s one empowered bush.
Thanks to the rains of winter and spring, and especially to Disemballerina, Dr. Bones, and The Crazy Herbalist for being awesome.

The ESP8266 development board is a good go-to board for your IOT projects, but presents problems if they are battery powered. It is well documented how the various ESP8266 development boards are not power efficient (here and here). The Witty Development Board overcomes some of the problems by having a separate USB to TTL (programmer interface) but does not have the same shield support of the D1 Mini.This D1M BLOCK breaks out the ESP12 with the Wemos D1 Mini pin contract, and is built with with no regulation or a MCP1700 regulator.
This is a fiddly circuit build and good for a proof-of-concept or low number requirements; I will follow-up with a simpler PCB version.
Looking at the current draw table above from https://forum.makehackvoid.com/t/esp8266-operatin... you will see there is a false economy not using a regulator when deep sleep is employed.
The unregulated build is provided, but I suggest not using deep sleep and be aware of the voltage range applied to 3V3.
2018-02-22 - pulldown changed from IO2 to IO15, 2mm pitch male headers used instead of tinned wire.
There is a full Bill of Materials and Sources list.
As previously suggested, this is a fiddly build using a protoboard shield. A PCB will be developed.
Thread a 10K resistor into RED1 and RED2 and solder RED1.
Thread a 10K resistor into RED3 and RED4 and solder ends.
Thread a 4K7 resistor into RED5 and RED6 and solder ends.
Thread a 4K7 resistor into RED7 and RED8 and solder ends.
Add male headers into GREEN (1 - 12) and solder ends on topside; leaving gaps where shown (for resistor wires later).
Carefully press board to 2mm from one another and parallel/equidistant.
Wires exiting IO15, IO4, IO5 and EN can be soldered and cut excess.
Pins exiting top can be retouched in case of cracked joints.
On underside of protoboard, extend leg from PINK4 to YELLOW16, soldering on YELLOW16.
On underside of protoboard, bend leg from PINK5 to PINK1, and solder.
Route LEG leaving YELLOW15 to leg leaving PINK5 and solder.
NOTE: Use a continuity tester on a multimeter to ensure wires are not bridged throughout build.
There is a video above that runs through the solder process for the SOCKET JIG.
Not covered in the video, but recommended: put a large dob of hot glue in the empty base before quickly inserting board and aligning - this will create compression keys on either side of the board. Please do a dry run in placing the shields in the base. If the gluing was not very accurate, you may need to do some light filing of the edge of the PCB.
After the lid is dry manually bend each pin so it is central in the void if necessary.

The Site Ahead Contains Malware! Here’s How to Fix It!
WordPress is a dominant content management system that powers around 30% of all websites on the Internet. It offers a plethora of incredible features, but it doesn’t mean that WordPress is resistant to malware attacks. On the contrary, security has always been one of the system’s weak spots.
A research revealed that over 90 thousand hacker attacks are happening each minute. Another study proved that 73% of the most popular WordPress-based websites are vulnerable to attacks. This is the reason why you often see a notification: The Site Ahead Contains Harmful Programs.
It ruins website credibility and reputation, chasing away even the most loyal visitors.
An average user does not care why this message appears, but he will definitely close the window and go to the competitor’s site.
The message proves you don’t take care of online security, revealing the lack of professionalism.
If it takes you too much time to react, it means that you neglected your own website, so why wouldn’t your visitors do the same? So it’s important to harden the WordPress security.
These reasons should be more than enough to convince you to engage. In this post, we will show you how to fix the problem called “The Site Ahead Contains Malware”.
Hacking as a hobby: A part of digital attackers consider hacking to be extremely amusing, so they do it for the adrenaline rush.
Hack to steal: Other hackers have more tangible objectives in mind. They attack websites to steal and earn real money.
Bring a site down: This happens mostly when hackers want to eliminate or at least slow down competitors.
Information leakage: Business is like a poker game – if you know the opponent’s cards, you can win easily. Some hackers steal information to gain comparative advantage over other companies.
Political motives: There are hackers who want to highlight current political problems and increase awareness about these issues.
Hacking as a form of activism: An average hacker believes he is the modern-day Robin Hood who attacks websites for sheer idealism and altruism.
Security hacking: Sometimes, hacking occurs just as the precautionary measure to warn about potential safety issues of a website.
Low-quality ads are the second most common cause of malware warnings. This happens when your pages display ads leading to sites that contain malware. Ad networks sell inventory (or advertising space) on web pages offered by popular publishers.
Ad networks administer huge volumes of user-related data, which is a perfect target for spamming or the so-called scamvertising. According to the research, hackers use real ad networks to deliver scams, spam, adware and other low quality and suspicious sites to a wide and highly targeted audience.
But what does it actually mean? It means that fraudulent web content can hurt people by dispersing false information or literally stealing their money.
In each one of these cases, you need to react promptly and remove malicious software from your website. Keep reading and you will see how to do it.
Malware issues are only one of many reasons why you need to conduct website backup. It’s a precautionary measure that you need to complete to avoid losing entire website content. A backup is basically a copy of your files and database that you can restore in case hackers attack your site.
The easiest option is to select a hosting organization that conducts regular website backups. Most companies do it on the daily basis, automatically backing up core WordPress files, media, themes, database, and plugins. If you’re not sure who to pick, we’ve put together a nice comparison between 2 big players in the industry: Siteground and Inmotion.
In your WordPress directory, there are several folders such as wp-content, wp-includes, or wp-admin. Each one of these folders contains important files that keep the website fully operational. You can backup all WordPress files manually using the cPanel or the SFTP program.
The same procedure goes for WordPress database. You can back it up manually – go to the hosting panel and find phpMyAdmin. You need to select all database checkboxes in the main administration pane and export them to the secure folder on your computer.
You’ve probably figured out by now that WordPress website backup is a complicated mission. If you want to avoid it and focus on other duties, you can install a plugin to cut the long story short. There are dozens of reliable WordPress plugins to help you out here, so we recommend you choose among the best choices available.
Now that you’ve backed up your website, it is time to remove malicious software. The easiest way to do it is by using WordPress plugins such as Security Ninja. A tool like this scans an entire website to identify problematic files within minutes. It will scan all active and disabled theme and plugin files as well as files uploaded to the wp-content folder.
It will conduct more than 50 tests, allowing you to see exact parts of the file that malware scanner marked as suspicious. Besides that, a security tool can delete files that don’t have to be in your WP folders. It also creates a whitelist of files that you have inspected and knows are safe.
This is the first and the most important phase, but we already described it above and there is no need to repeat it.
Now that you have a backup folder on your computer, you need to open it and examine all files. These include WordPress core files, wp-content folder, wp-config.php and .htaccess files, as well as the whole database.
At this point of malware removal, you need to delete almost all files from the public_html folder. The only ones you should leave are hacker-resistant server-related folders and the CGI-bin folder. In case you are operating multiple websites using the same account, there is a big chance they have been compromised as well. It means you have to follow this same procedure to remove malware from all sites.
The fourth phase is to reinstall WordPress in the public_html directory. In case this was not the initial location of the content management system, you should reinstall it in the add-on domain. After that, you need to add a reference to the website back up and edit the wp-config.php file to recover the old site database.
Now is the time to reset all usernames and passwords on your website. You can do it in Settings → Permalinks and click Save Changes when you enter new login details. Doing so, you will restore the.htaccess file and enable website URLs once again. Keep in mind that you also have to delete invisible files because they might also be compromised by the malicious software.
This is the part where you need to reinstall WordPress plugins. We don’t recommend you installing old plugins, but rather reinstalling all of your previous plugins from the WordPress repository. This way, you make sure that all plugins are functional and up to date.
Once you’re done with the plugins, you should do the same thing with WordPress themes. You should install themes all over again or add a reference to the backup file in case you used a customized theme version. In each case, you must not upload old themes because they may be jeopardized. It’s important to keep in mind the type of theme you’re using. A premium WordPress theme is less-likely to get hacked compared to a free one. Check out our guide on the pros and cons of premium Wp themes.
This stage of the process is complicated because you need to upload images from the backup without copying any of the hacked files. For this reason, you need to inspect every folder containing images to make sure there are no compromised files. When you complete the examination, you can upload images to the WordPress server using FTP.
Now you need to scan your computer for extra safety. You should look for potential viruses, malicious software, or any other kind of suspicious programs.
The last stage of the manual malware removal is to install a safety plugin such as Security Ninja PRO. Although it can be fun to do control website security all by yourself, it is much more efficient to leave it to automated services. It won’t only save you a lot of time but also improve the overall reliability of your site.
Also, Security Ninja’s Cloud Firewall will help you protect site even further by automatically banning more than 600 million bad IP address.
You might think that the work is done once you’ve removed the malware from your website, but it’s not. As the matter of fact, most webmasters are struggling to discover why the problem is reoccurring after the plugin security inspection.
The problem lies in the malicious code that can still crawl through the website using the so-called backdoor entrance. Therefore, removing the backdoor is the key step to recovering your website.
A backdoor is a type of program that opens your site or server up to access to other people over the Internet. In other words, it’s a code or a program that can bypass standard authentication and jeopardize website security.
Removing the backdoor is essential. You can do it single-handily by checking out each file and line of code to find a malicious element. Of course, you need to delete it manually as soon as you detect it, after which you can put back the secure version back on the server.
However, remove a malware line of code manually is very difficult, particularly because hackers often install their own backups and fail-safes along with the malicious code. For this reason, using WordPress security plugins is once again the best option for you. Plugins like Security Ninja and others can remove malware and delete the malicious code.
Now that you’ve finally solved the problem, you need to keep Google informed about it. The biggest search engine warns users about malware containing websites, but it doesn’t know that you fixed the bug. Therefore, you need to send a request to Google to eliminate the malware notification from search results.
The procedure is simple: go to Google’s Webmasters support, login, and choose security features. Google will show you safety threats there and you should verify that your website does not contain safety threats anymore. After that, users will not see the warning sign next to your site.
Whenever you see a notification “The Site Ahead Contains Malware”, you should treat it as an urgent message to find malicious software and solve the security breach. In this post, we showed you how to deal with this awkward but very common WordPress issue.
Did you ever face this kind of problem? How did you deal with it? Feel free to share your experiences in comments and we’ll be glad to discuss this topic with you!

The first question that comes to mind is “What is aerostier?“ “Aerostier” is the French word for an aerostat pilot. Yes, but what is an aerostat? An aerostat is “a lighter than air aircraft that gains its lift through the use of a buoyant gas.” In fact, this is what is generally known as a hot-air balloon, a huge bag of air with a gondola or basket beneath it, and whose history Vacheron Constantin has celebrated in five watches: the Métiers d’Art Les Aérostiers.
The watch quintet pays homage to a human adventure in the late 18th century involving the first flights of these airships, and especially the launches taking place in France between 1783 and 1785. Each dial, without hands, is presented like a miniature painting using two artistic techniques: ramolayage – a form of sculpture and engraving used to create and decorate a silhouette in two dimensions – and plique-à-jour enamelling – a technique providing a transparent and colourful result resembling a stained-glass window.
The hours, minutes, day of the week and the date can be seen at 11.30, 1.30, 7.30 and 4.30, respectively, and are displayed with the help of a quartet of discs (two constant and two jumping discs). The watches’ features are powered by the automatic calibre 2460 G4/1, housed in a 40mm-wide white-gold case and providing 40 hours of autonomy.
Five pieces of each model from the Métiers d’Art Les Aérostiers collection are available.
