...Infosys unveils new HR practices Our Bureau Nasscom to encourage gender empowerment WINNING WITH WOMEN: Mr N.R. Narayana Murthy (right), Chief Mentor, Infosys, and Mr Kiran Karnik, President, Nasscom, at a conference in Bangalore on Thursday. - G.R.N. Somashekar Bangalore , Dec 14 As part of its inclusive HR policy, Infosys will throw open a satellite centre in the heart of the city to enable employees (particularly new and to-be mothers) to cut down on travel time to work. The centre, which can accommodate up to 50 women at a time, is expected to be opened in the second week of January. The company has also initiated a pilot project for employees giving them an opportunity to opt for a one-year sabbatical at any point in their careers. This could be used for childcare, eldercare, higher studies or for health reasons. Announcing this at the Nasscom IT Women's Leadership Summit in Bangalore today, Mr Narayana Murthy, Chief Mentor, said that inclusive policies such as these should be based on justifiable parameters rather than emotional parameters. "For such policies to work, the organisation should benefit as much as the employees." Commenting on the state of gender empowerment in the country, Mr Narayana Murthy said that though the male-female ratio in the Indian IT industry seems to be encouraging (65:35), recently published global gender gap survey by the World Economic Forum is disappointing: India ranks 98th among 115 countries surveyed, lower Sri Lanka, Kenya and...

...Water Quality and Contamination Abstract In this experiment water quality and contamination of groundwater were investigated. First, I will observe the effects that many pollutants have on groundwater. I predict that in this experiment the oil and vinegar will create the largest quality of contamination to the water, while the laundry detergent will just create a bad smell to it. Considering the smells and thickness to these ingredients I think that it will cause the water quality to have a bad smell and cause the water to be very cloudy. Once filtering the contaminated water, the water will be clear and purified. Second, I will experiment water treatment and filtering. I predict that once the contaminated water is treated and filtered that it will leave me with little or no contamination in it. Then for the last experiment, I will determine the difference between bottled water and tap water to discover any contamination. I predict that the tap water will be the most contaminated and with the most chemicals in it, while the bottled waters; Dasani and Fiji will be completely filtered and free of any chemicals. Introduction There were three different steps to this investigation to determine the final hypothesis. The first experiment was the effects of groundwater contamination, second was water treatment and third was drinking water quality. There are a variety of portable sampling devices available for the collection of groundwater, however, each application has different...

...TAGPO Gabi. Sa isang kwarto ng isang beach resort. Naglalatag ng kumot si Jigs sa sahig habang inaayos ni Yumi ang kanyang higaan. Yumi: Sige na, Jigs. Huwag ka nang magpaka-gentleman. Naawa ako sa’yo e. Tabi na tayo sa kama. Jigs: Hindi, okay lang ako dito. Yumi: Huwag ka nang maarte. As if naman re-rapin kita no. Malaki naman itong kama e. Hatiin na lang natin sa gitna Jigs: Sure ka? Yumi: Hindi mo naman siguro ako mamanyakin no? Jigs: (Matatawa) Okay ka lang? Yumi: Kung gusto mo, gamitin na lang natin iyang kumot na divider. Jigs: Good Idea. Isasampay nila ang kumot mula sa kisame para mahati ang kama sa gitna. Magse-settle down ang dalawa. Ilalabas ni Jigs ang libro niya: “Puppy Love and other Stories” ni F. Sionil Jose. Si Yumi naman ay magpapatugtog ng Japanese Zen Music habang nagsa-zazen. Yumi: Do you mind? Jigs: No, go ahead. I’m just reading. Magsa-zazen si Yumi. Magbabasa si Jigs. Pareho silang dim aka-concentrate. Papatayin ni Yumi ang CD player niya. Yumi: I can’t believe our friends. Jigs: Oo nga e… Yumi: Dapat ginagawa nila ‘to sa mga bagong pasok sa barkada o kaya sa bagong… ay oo nga pala. Bagong graduate ka. Congrats. Jigs: Thanks. Yumi: So what’re your plans? Jigs: Kinukuha akong researcher sa ADB. Kinukuha rin ako ng BPI sa OTP nila. Yumi: Wow naman. In demand. Jigs: Di naman masyado. Who the hell invented this tradition anyway? Yumi: (Matatawa) You won’t believe it. Jigs: Ikaw...

...Diversity in the Media Diversity in the media Daniel Bean April/18/2011 University of Phoenix Diversity in the Media Cultural diversity has always been a political issue in America. The most recent and memorizing depiction of diversity in the media would be our choices between a traditional, Christian, American male, John McCain versus a non–traditional, religion in question, person of color, Barack Obama. Americans have always viewed people for face value and are very judgmental. The diversity between these two candidates has become a dividing point between American voters. The media eye is constantly in view of the candidates. This causes stereotyping and wrongful opinions to be formed. The importance of research and investigation for the truth is vital. American Diversity Representation The people are judging the candidates not only by face value, but also by what the media portrays them as. McCain is portrayed as conservative and old fashioned. This in turn has hurt his popularity because of the similarities between him and President Bush, which the American public has seemed to disapprove of. On the other hand Obama is portrayed as non-conservative and current with contemporary ways of thinking and ideas. They both have positive attributes but the media does not forget their flaws. McCain is looked down upon for being republican and would follow in the...

...PARA A.Smith'e göre para bir mübadele aracıdır.Üretim arttıkça mübadele edilecek daha fazla mal olacağından daha fazla paraya ihtiyaç duyulacaktır.Bir ülkenin fazla parasının olması servet artışı olduğunu göstermez;fazla para oluşu fiyatlar genel düzeyini arttırır. Piyasada fazla para bulunması,servet artışını simgelemez.Aksine ülkedeki fazla para insanların ellerindeki parayı arttıracağından ötürü, genel olarak fiyatlarda bir artış olacak, bir ailenin geçimi için daha çok para gerekecek ancak fiyatların ve ödenen ücretlerin artmasından ötürü ülkenin servet varlığında herhangi bir etkiye yol açmayacaktır. Smith'e göre paranın değeri de öbür malların değeri gibi ölçülür.Değer emeğe bağlıdır.Malın da paranın da değeri ona harcanan emeğe bağlıdır. Bu sebeplerden dolayı emek mübadele değerinin gerçek ölçütüdür.Yani sonuç olarak malların mübadele edilmesi aynı zamanda emeğin mübadele edilmesi anlamına gelmektedir.Emek değeri kendine eşit emek değeri ile değiştirilecektir.Bu bakımdan bakıldığında gerçekten mübadele edilen altın,gümüş,para,döviz değil emektir.Güçlükle elde edilen mallar pahalı,az emek harcanarak üretilen mallar ise daha ucuz olur.

...la espontaneidad, la movilización, la iniciativa, la generosidad, la motivación, la utilización de los espacios públicos para desarrolar actividades conjuntas de la gente. Organización Basta con que alguien convoque a una manifestación a través de un mensaje, canalizado por algún soporte digital, para que comience el efecto «bola de nieve». Algunos de los canales utilizados son: Dispositivos con conexión a Internet, web, foros, comunidades virtuales (Facebook, twitter, Linkedin), e-mail, blog, chat Cadena de mensajes de texto ( sms, whatsap) Transferencia de boca a oreja. En estos mensajes se informa el día, lugar y hora exacta del encuentro. Ya que los flashmob pueden durar apenas unos minutos, se requiere que todos los participantes sincronicen sus relojes bajo una hora oficial. Otra particularidad de este fenómeno es que a los convocados no siempre se les informa sobre el tipo de movilización que se realizará, ya que eso se comunica en el mismo lugar de encuentro (o en un bar cercano a donde se hará la manifestación). Los mejores flash mob http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpaxGP8QZLE Nuestro FlashMob consistirá en movilización de los estudiantes de Masters y Postgrados en UAB mediante los canales de comunicaciones ( grupos de UAB en Facebook, Twitter, Blogs de estudiantes de UAB, etc…).

...“SA BAWAT LIMANG UMIIBIG AY ISA LANG ANG MAGIGING MASAYA, ALIN KA KAYA SA LIMA?” “PARA KAY B”, unang beses na narinig ko ang pamagat na ito ay nagtaka na ‘ko. Bakit ganoon? Ano yung B? Sino si B? Agad kong hinanap ang librong ito na isinulat ni Ricky Lee. Nang matagpuan ko na, aaah ito pala yon. Istorya na patungkol sa Love. Sina Irene, Sandra, Erica, Ester at si Bessie, limang babae na may kanya-kanyang istorya patungkol sa kani-kanilang buhay pag-ibig. Unahin natin kay Irene, habang binabasa ko ang istorya nya ay nagkaroon na ako agad ng pagkalito. Ang una ay nasa restaurant lamang sila tapos bigla nalang malilipat ang istorya sa nakaraan niya, ngunit habang patuloy ko pa din itong binabasa ay unti-unti na ding nasasagot ang mga namuong katanungan sa isip ko. Naitawid ng maayos ang kwento, detalyadong detalyado ngunit hindi maikakailang nakakabitin din. Maraming katanungan sa karakter ang naiwang hindi nasagot. Ang sabi ko nga sa isip ko “Ano yun? Nakakainis naman si Jordan, ‘di hamak tanda nya kay Irene ngunit hindi nya maalala ‘to. Ang imposible naman.” “Ganoon nalang? Pagkatapos nya makipag make love kay Jordan ay lalayasan nalang niya ito basta-basta?” “Yung kaputol ng buhok at yung boses sa walkman ni Fr. Zuniga hindi nasagot kung kanino, nakaka-curious din kasi. ” ang nasa isip ko nang natapos ko nang basahin ang kwento ni Irene, baka ang nais iparating ni Ricky Lee ay bahala na ang mga mambabasa ang magbigay ng ending. Sumunod si Sandra, nakakatuwang naikonek ang...

...INTRODUCION Los mercados hoy en día se encuentran saturados por productos y servicios y l única forma de poder sobrevivir en estos es a través de la innovación, y hay que ser capaces de ofrecer a los clientes aquello que necesitan de una forma innovadora, si se entra al mercado con cosas idénticas a las de la competencia se tiende a desaparecer con el tiempo. Para poder innovar hay que cambiar la forma de pensar, la forma en cómo se está percibiendo el mundo y los negocios, romper con aquello que ya está establecido. Innovas en los negocios supone cambiar la base de nuestras acciones sobre la cual se están centrando nuestra actividad y el cómo estamos enfrentando a la competencia. Si se logra romper con toda esta serie de paradigmas se lograra un buen posicionamiento en los mercados de hoy en día. La innovación empieza para el cliente y termina para el cliente, por eso una de las preguntas que habitualmente hay que formularse sea quien sea el cliente es: que necesitan y cuál es la mejor manera de satisfacerlos. Para innovar uno debe: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Identificar una oportunidad de innovación Generar ideas Evaluar las ideas Desarrollar la idea Implementar la innovación En la práctica, el proceso de innovación viene a ser como un embudo, donde se generan muchas ideas, pero solamente las mejores ideas se convierten en innovaciones.

...Perspectivas para 2012: Na preparação para 2012, nosso plano de investimento está avançando conforme planejado. Nossos investimentos em via permanente, infraestrutura de terminal e tecnologia deixam a Companhia preparada para o início da safra. Nossos projetos de produtividade estão de acordo com o cronograma e esperamos que 2012 seja outro ano de crescimento de volume por meio de ganhos de produtividade, com adição marginal de material rodante. Devemos concluir a construção de nossa nova ferrovia até Rondonópolis no final do ano, criando condições para que a ALL atinja um fluxo de caixa positivo em 2013. Em termos de mercado, iremos enfrentar um cenário mais difícil em commodities agrícolas no sul, quando comparado a 2011, uma vez que a safra foi afetada por secas. No entanto, a produção total de grãos no estado do Mato Grosso deve crescer. No segment industrial, a produção no Brasil deve recuperar após o fraco desempenho registrado em 2011. Neste contexto, nossa projeção de crescimento médio anual de volume no Brasil é de pelo menos 10%, em 5 anos, e nossa previsão de CAPEX para o crescimento orgânico do negócio* em 2011 é de R$ 650 milhões. *Não inclui os investimentos no Projeto Rondonópolis.

...HAK PARA STAKEHOLDER DAN MENGELOLA KEANEKARAGAMAN TENAGA KERJA DALAMORGANISASI BISNISSHAREHOLDERS VS STAKEHOLDERS Shareholders dan Stakeholders Dua kata bahasa Inggris tersebut kedengarannya hampir sama ataumendekati sama, dan memang keduanya terkait dengan hal yang sama, yaitu tata kelola suatu organisasi korporasi. “Hampir sama” atau “mendekati sama” berarti tidak sama persis. Dalam beberapa konteks, memang harus dibedakan secara tegas agar tidak menimbulkan kerancuan dalammemahami organisasi terkait dan dalam mengidentifkasi hak, kewenangan dan kewajiban masing-masing shareholders dan stakeholders. Sebutan bahasa Indonesia,“(para) pemegang saham” untuk shareholders dan “(para) pemangku kepentingan” untuk stakeholders memang lebih memperlihatkan perbedaan antara keduanya. APAKAH ITU STAKEHOLDER? Menurut wikipedia.org, “Stakeholder dapat diartikan sebagai segenap pihak yang terkait dengan isudan permasalahan yang sedang diangkat. Misalnya bilamana isu perikanan, maka stakeholder dalam hal ini adalah pihak-pihak yang terkait dengan isu perikanan, seperti nelayan, masyarakat pesisir, pemilik kapal, anak buah kapal, pedagang ikan, pengolah ikan, pembudidaya ikan, pemerintah, pihak swasta di bidang perikanan, dan sebagainya. Stakeholder dalam hal ini dapat juga dinamakan pemangku kepentingan.” Secara sederhana, stakeholder sering dinyatakan sebagai para pihak, lintas pelaku, atau pihak-pihakyang terkait dengan suatu issu atau suatu rencana.

...“Manajemen Perubahan Para Pemimpin Perubahan vs Para Pemimpi Perubahan” Disusun Oleh : Lusia Dewi Kristanti 15413/EM Fakultas Ekonomi Universitas Atma Jaya Yogyakarta 2007 ”Manajemen Perubahan Para Pemimpin Perubahan vs Para Pemimpi perubahan” Perubahan merupakan hal yang selalu menjadi kontroversi, dimana ada saja masyarakat yang selalu menganggap bahwa esensi dari perubahan itu buruk akhirnya tidak dapat diterima. Ada beberapa karakteristik perubahan : Pertama, ia begitu misterius karena tak mudah dipegang. Perubahan bagai boomerang yang suatu saat dapat mengenai pemiliknya bila si pemilik tidak dapat mengendalikannya. Seperti air yang dibutuhkan manusia dalam volume tertentu, dan memusnahkan manusia pada volume tertentu juga, tak dapat diduga, seperti api yang digunakan untuk memasak, dan dapat membunuh bila terjadi kebakaran, ataupun seperti barang-barang lainnya yang suatu saat dapat bermanfaat, di saat lain dapat menjadi senjata mematikan, suatu saat perubahan dapat menjadi teman, di saat lain bisa menjadi lawan, tidak ada yang tahu kapan perubahan menjadi teman, kapan perubahan menjadi lawan. Kedua, change memerlukan change makers. Change tidak akan terjadi begitu saja tanpa adanya change makers. Jelas, masyarakat Indonesia kebanyakan bersikap apriori, dan konservatif, sulit menerapkan perubahan di negara ini, Soekarno-Hatta merupakan tokoh-tokoh dari change makers setelah sumpah pemuda 28 Oktober 1928, tanpa keberadaan beliau-beliau, Indonesia...

...Natural Rubber Company Firestone and Liberia: Hand in Hand Firestone Natural Rubber Company is an affiliate of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company founded in 1926. The company is headquartered in Indianapolis, and it operates one of the largest rubber plantations in the world in Liberia, Africa. “The Republic of Liberia, on the coast of West Africa, has a population of about 3.5 million. Despite its natural wealth in gems, rubber and timber, it is one of the world’s poorest countries, with an 85 percent unemployment rate and 60 percent of the population under 25 years old.” By the 1920’s and 1930’s, Firestone’s main focus was building power plants, factories, houses, planting trees and hundreds of miles of roads in order to employ thousands of Liberians. Firestone Liberia contributed to the Allied effort during World War II by supplying rubber to the military. In 1926, according to Firestone Natural Rubber company main page, “Firestone leased 1,600 miles of jungle in Liberia for its location, soil and climatic conditions with the goal of producing its own natural rubber.” Now, Liberia is the centerpiece to the world’s largest natural rubber operation. Firestone is trying to rebuild the country after 14 years of civil strife by supporting the community. In 1976, Firestone and the Liberian government resigned a concession agreement in order for the company to continue operation in Liberia. According to the article “Firestone Natural Rubber On Last Leg of...
