Figuring out how much of a boost digital fluency can present, ladies should constantly develop and develop their skill to make use of the newest applied sciences, whether by using social media to grow their business networks or by signing up for online courses.
Learning in Digital Applied sciences focuses on additional growing understanding and abilities in computational pondering, akin to categorising and outlining procedures; and growing an growing consciousness of how digital systems are used and may very well be used at house, in school and the local community.

For years now, Android and iOS have been battling it out to be the best, and the fight has always been an interesting one, with both unwilling to settle down for the second spot. Taking it all a step further are the latest flagships unveiled by the duo. The Google Nexus 5 and the iPhone 5S, both packed with a bunch of awesome features, promise to offer you a lot more than what you expect. But, which one do you think truly deserves the first spot? A close look at the specs might help you decide.
When it comes to design, Apple always manages to get it right on target. Constructed out of metal and glass, the new iPhone 5S weighs just 112 grams and is only 7.6mm thick. The Nexus 5 may not the best looking smartphone on the planet, but isn't the worse either. At 130 grams, the handset does seem a bit heavy. So, in terms of design, the iPhone 5S grabs the prize.
The Nexus 5 sports a 4.95-inch display, while the iPhone 5S, like it's predecessor features a slightly smaller 4-inch screen. Currently, one of the major deciding factors for buying a smartphone is the display size. No wonder then Nexus makes it to the top of the list when it comes to screen size.
The iPhone 5S is powered by the latest A7processor clocked at 1.3 GHz teamed up with a 1 GB RAM, while the Nexus 5 packs in a 2.3 GHz quad-core processor and a 2 GB RAM. Both feature an 8 MP rear snapper. However, the one found on the iPhone 5S is much better than the one fitted on Nexus 5. Again, the Nexus 5 seems to have a slight edge over the iPhone 5S in terms of the hardware.
Connectivity Options
The Nexus 5 comes with NFC support, while the iPhone 5S doesn't. However, the latter does compensate by packing-in a fingerprint scanner and a chip that detects motion-based activities.
The Price Factor
While the Nexus 5 costs you around Rs. 30000, the iPhone 5S comes with a slightly expensive price tag of Rs. 53500. So, if you are looking out for a handset packed with a bunch of powerful features, Nexus 5 is for you. For those looking out for a device with a good camera and a fabulous design, iPhone 5S is without a doubt the right choice.

Globalisation is part and parcel of today's business sphere. Globalisation can be viewed as the growth in
3mobility across frontiers– the mobility of goods and commodities; information; communications products and services; and people (Robins 2000). Many organisations have begun to take globalisation seriously, either in terms of their target markets or production, as they realise that their sustainability cannot be completely ensured if new ways of doing business are not sought. Internationalisation can be viewed as the increase in interaction and interdependence of trade and services between people in different countries (Scholte 2005), and indeed, this has been a major driver in the growth of international business in recent years.
This essay will focus on Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft (Volkswagen Group – VAG) and the internationalisation processes it has undertaken, the impact of these actions and the lessons that can be internalised and learnt from these experiences. VAG is currently the world's third biggest carmaker. Headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, it was founded in 1937 with the sole purpose of producing affordable cars such as the Beetle for German consumers. Since then, it has evolved from fulfilling this basic requirement to being a holding company for its automotive divisions comprising nine different brands from across Europe that each operate as an independent entity, producing vehicles for different uses and market segments,...

There's a revolution happening and it's connecting our kids more than ever. Cell phone usage has edged younger and younger, as has cell phone ownership. A 2012 study found that nearly six out of 10 parents surveyed that had tweens bought a cell phone for those children. The study revealed that between 10 and 11 seems to be the "sweet spot" for tweens to get a cell phone, too.
"Before the training wheels are coming off their bikes, many children are getting their first cell phones," said John Breyault, NCL vice president of public policy, telecommunications and fraud, in a press release. The National Consumers League conducted the study.
Of course, my older tween has asked for a cell phone, but by her tone of voice, I could tell she had little hope of receiving one (especially given the fact that her father and I have only "dumb" flip-phones). We have no intention of giving her a cell phone even as she enters middle school next year. We're well aware that especially in the NoVa area, we are in the minority of not wanting our children to have technology by its very nature that is disconnecting, rather than bringing together. Here's what I mean.
- Cell phone usage encourages rude behavior. Give a kid a cell phone, and you'll notice that he will immediately start ignoring the people he's physically present with in favor of the ones on the other end of the phone. This isn't just rude to those around him—it's also cultivates an overall antisocial behavior.
- Cell phone usage encourages instant gratification. When that call comes in or that text buzzes the phone, it's nearly impossible for the cell phone owner to ignore it. The need to know who is calling/texting can be overwhelming and the owner is soon hooked on the addictive nature.
- Cell phone usage encourages less sleep. Studies have shown that screen time in the evenings can mess up a person's cicada rhythms, and thus their sleep patterns. Giving kids cell phones younger and younger is a recipe for sleep deprivation.
- Cell phone usage encourages stupidity. There's something about having a device small enough to fit into your hand that can make you not think twice about doing something you otherwise wouldn't do, such as taking inappropriate photographs, filming friends or situations without permission, posting offensive comments. Cell phones in the hands of kids not remotely mature enough to handle the ramifications of such mistakes is a recipe for disaster.
- Cell phone usage encourages disconnectedness. You've all seen people walk around with their attention riveted on the device in their hand more than the world around them. More than ignoring the people in front of you, cell phones create an individual world that encapsulates the user, making her miss the wonders of a beautiful spring day or the sadness of her little brother or the silly antics of a puppy.
Of course, these can be true of any cell phone user, not just a tweenager. We must all be careful not to let technology take the place of people, or allow what might be take the place of what's right here.

|He couldn't do this in private?
1. Be ostentatious! Sure, you could just stand there and pray silently -- but what good would that do? No one would know you're praying, and that would make your prayer worthless.
2. Use as many techniques as possible to drill your point home: kneel, make the sign of the cross, point at the sky. Do it all!
3. Never pray next to a praying, opposing player because this would make heads explode. This is strictly forbidden on TV. One violation of this bedrock rule and you'll be sent down to the minors for the entire season.
Now, go forth and pray, young baseball Christian soldiers. Your stupidity will ensure that your soul shoots shoots into heaven when you die. And that's what the game of baseball is all about.

What does "Grandfathered" mean?
Any structure, lot or use legally in existence on 2/25/1965 is "grandfathered". This means that although a use, structure, or lot would not be permitted in a particular zoning district today, it is legal if at the time it was created it met the requirements of the zone where it is located. Another term to describe this situation is "non-conforming". There may be restrictions on expanding a grandfathered structure or use.
