There's SO much unreliable information about résumés out there—making it impossible to completely trust what you are reading. In addition, using interviews and detailed tests to reduce a large applicant pool is time-consuming and inefficient.
So… what if you could:
1. Accurately screen for the most skilled candidates prior to in-depth interviewing
2. Increase the skills of your customer service staff while reducing turnover from poor hiring choices
3. Decrease the risk of discrimination litigation
4. Use objective, defensible data for hiring decisions.
If you did that, you'd make better hires in less time, while reducing legal risk.
To make these improvements, you need to enhance your candidate screening process. By creating an effective system for your customer service recruiting, you will be more likely to hire the best employees for the job and much less likely to hire mediocre workers.In the following article, I'd like to share with you how we developed our Customer Service team, here at eSkill.
"The customer service was a very large part of why we switched to eSkill. From the time we first talked with Kevin Renner, we felt like we mattered. We are a small company (but do a lot of business!) and we very much appreciate eSkill's specialized customer service. All of the people we have dealt with at eSkill make us feel like we are familiar to them. They recognize who we are and treat us as a valued customer." Janet Bryan, District Manager, Universal Staffing, Inc.
So here are the most important five skills I look for when hiring a customer service representative.
One of the key skills in a customer service representative is the ability to remain calm under pressure–to be patient and confident while communicating clearly. A customer service employee is usually the first point of contact when a customer has a problem. The ability to converse with an angry customer, calm him or her down, and communicate in a clear and (why not?) out-of-the-box manner should be the top skill you look for when hiring this type of employee.
Take Amazon's example: When their customer service rep introduced himself as Thor and the customer responded with a joking mythological reference to Thor's father Odin, the rep played along with the customer's lead, and they started a humorous role-play. Not only was the customer's problem solved, he or she had fun, even though the conversation started as a complaint.
Communication in all its forms is a very complex skill to test. You need people who use positive language, who empathize with the customers and who can read customers "between the lines." But these skills are just the norm. How about going above and beyond the norm? Have a look at what a Starbucks barista did to be able to communicate clearly. With everyone.
You might think that there is no way to "sell in a natural manner." You can. You just need to hire people who easily relate to others and offer genuine help. One day, Michael Parker Mathis was on his way home to Boston by train and lost his Warby Parker glasses. He ordered a new pair the next day, but a few weeks later, to his surprise, he received a package with a handwritten note:
"Hi Michael, This might be odd … but you sat across from me on the train ride from NYC to Boston a few weeks ago and left your glasses on the train! As luck would have it, I happen to be the GC of Warby Parker, and there is nothing I like more than a good mystery… I hope these find you in good health! (also, we noticed your lenses were scratched so we made you a fresh pair!)
Sincerely, AK "
Mathis was so impressed that he immediately shared his story on Facebook:
This is the "ugly truth" of working with people. A customer service rep needs to know when to stop spending time with a customer. They need to know how to serve customers in an efficient manner. And, they also need to know when they cannot serve a customer anymore. Sometimes, there are times when certain customers are implacable—they aren't really looking for a solution or are unrealistically demanding—that's when the rep just has to give up on trying to help and maybe even suggest that the customer go elsewhere.
There is no way to avoid it. A customer service rep will need to interact with many tech systems while talking on the phone. They'll need to lookup data, update it, and generate reports to solve a complaint–all while talking on the phone!. This requires concentration and attention to details. In this example, one Spotify customer care rep takes the ability to work with data and to pay attention to details to the next level. Here's their reply to Jelena, a customer who sent the music service some positive feedback in an email. (Read down the tracklist to see the hidden message.)
These are the five most valuable customer skills you need to look for when hiring your people. I personally hired my team taking these skills into consideration. However, the question remains:
How can you identify the perfect candidate who is emphatic, learns technology quickly, types accurately, and multi-tasks effectively? Can you really find this person? What are the tools you need to do it quickly and with compliance?
That's something we'll talk about in part two of this article.
To data-driven skills testing,
Lisa Perrin
P.S: Amazon and Spotify use eSkill tests for selecting their customer service reps. Did you like the people they chose?
International HR Director for OSF Global Services, Andreea is a veteran recruiter who has seen them all. She developed HR recruiting strategies and retention programs that guarantees the success of the company. She is a people person and she handles very easy new relationships with new employees, but her most interesting challenge is to find the middle way between company's best interests and employee's needs. To learn more about Andreea contact her on LinkedIn.
Thank you for the article. These skills are really the core of customer service, and I loved the way you illustrated them with industry examples.
Candidates who know the importance of developing these skills and emphasizing them in a job application and interview will rise above the job market competition. And this is what I look for when I hire.
Awesome list. Thank you.
This is an excellent list! I'd say #2 on your list is the foundation of all great customer service reps!

BMW Motorrad, the motorcycle segment of BMW, experienced a 5.3% decline in bikes sales in the second quarter of 2018, the company reported during its second-quarter earnings call.
Motorcycle revenue for the German OEM dropped to $762 million from $805 million the same time the year prior — a 5.3% decline.
The drop in the motorcycle segment was driven primarily by "the ramp-ups for various model changes," Nicolas Peter, chief financial officer of BMW, said on the call. BMW took more time than usual to develop the production of new bikes as it retools its offerings for a series of models set to launch by yearend. However, for second-quarter results, that meant there were fewer bikes for dealerships to sell.
This is reflected in a 3.1% decline in bikes sold worldwide, which dropped to 51,117 units. However, despite the decline, BMW Motorrad's earnings before interest and tax margin was 14.9%, down just 10 basis points from the second quarter of 2017. The company expects that margin will continue to drop, but more vehicles will be sold.
"In the motorcycles segment, bolstered by new products, we expect to see a slight increase in deliveries, with an EBIT margin in the range of 8% to 10%," Peter said.
While BMW does not break down its financial services between motorcycle and auto segments, the motorcycle rollback does not appear to have affected the in-house captive. The total portfolio has increased by 2.3% to more than 5.5 million retail contracts. Additionally, the financing unit originated a total of 480,303 new credit financing and leasing contracts during the second quarter.

If you could envision a picture made in a factory for Best Picture consideration, The Post might be it. Two-time Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg? Check. Three-time winner and most nominated actress ever Meryl Streep? Yep. Two-time recipient Tom Hanks? Indeed. A historical context that has connections to what's happening today? Present. Luckily, the film itself manages to be an often engrossing experience that is (surprise) quite well-acted and directed. Does it match the high mark of some other journalistic features that cover similar ground? Not in my view.
The Post opens with State Department analyst Daniel Ellsberg (Matthew Rhys) in Vietnam in the late 1960s and his growing realization that the conflict has no end in sight. Ellsberg has access to classified government docs and by the early 1970s, he wishes to expose the top secrets of the U.S. Government's involvement overseas from the Truman through Nixon administrations. He first leaks some information to the vaunted New York Times, but attention soon turns to The Washington Post, which at this juncture is considered more of a hometown paper. That paper is run by Katharine Graham (Streep) and she's the first woman to run such an operation. She inherited the Post after the deaths of her father and husband. While the film's attention is mostly centered on the impending giant story that they may break, we also witness the difficulties Graham experiences as a woman working in a man's world. This provides some of the best moments and more examples of Streep's limitless abilities as a performer.
Graham runs in the D.C. social circles and she's close with many of the figures her journalists look to expose, including Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara (Bruce Greenwood). The paper's editor is Ben Bradlee (Hanks), a hard charging type who doesn't think of the corporate exposure landmines that go along with spilling these secrets. Graham must do so because her business is about to go up for public offering and President Nixon isn't exactly warm-hearted when dealing with media types.
Therein lies the drama with The Post as Graham and Bradlee struggle to do the right thing. The pic clearly reveres it main subjects and the virtuous acts they took. It also adores the bygone and pre-digitized era of the news. There are lovingly crafted shots of the newspapers being developed for print and frenzied reporters furiously typing their copy to meet their deadline. We also witness occasional spurts of dialogue that border on preachy. Screenwriters Liz Hannah and Josh Singer craft a couple of monologues that could warrant a bright red MESSAGE signal across the screen while its actors are speaking.
That said, the story itself is inherently fascinating and it's told in a well-crafted manner. There are plenty of actors who pop up in supporting roles, including a very nice performance from Bob Odenkirk as an editor who goes way back with Ellsberg and is instrumental in the paper's expose. This is primarily the Streep and Hanks show, however. And in case you didn't know, the two can act. Hanks is playing a part made most famous by Jason Robards in All the President's Men (for which he won a gold statue). It is that movie that you may wish to draw comparisons with. The Post isn't in that league, but few reach that level of greatness. The Post, rather, is exceedingly competent.

" I recently bought this cute racer toy and my boys are super into it. They spend lots of time coloring and creating their car decorations and love comparing the papers they've created. I think this toy is really engaging and enjoyable for both younger and older kids who can play together. The quality is great and I would definitely recommend it."
What did Alon say?
" This is absolutely the most AMAZING toy we have ever gotten. Simple, and beautifully designed. Its just endlessly customizable, and brings out the creative side so missing in toys. The other kids in our class just keep at it unlike toys they get tired of after a few days of play. We had to get one too. Well done!! Hope there are more like this coming. Idea- perhaps a train design with several cars that can hook up to each other where kids can collaboratively create a common toy? Anyways- for this price its a steal! "

It's possible some people have only a blurred idea of what the new Morris Marinas look like. The following may explain why.
The 1.3 litre saloon, the gentlest powered model in the range, does 0-50mph in a mere 11.8 seconds. The 1.8 Coupe does it in 8.5. And the 1.8TC in an incredible 8.3 seconds, (that's quicker even than the exotic Lancia Flavia). Top speed goes up to 100mph.
The first engine is British Leyland's 'A' series - three times winner at Monte Carlo and regular class winner at Le Mans and Sebring.
The second engine is the famous 'B' series. And the third, the hottest and most highly tuned, is currently powering the MGB GT.
All have literally millions of miles of tests, trials and triumphs behind them. (Remember the 24th November when the 1.3 Coupe roared home first in its class in the 1971 RAC Rally?)
How they go is typical of the British Leyland engineering that went into the new Marina.
The suspension. Torsion bar - as on the E-Type - gives a very high degree of roadholding on fast bends.
The finish. A long, multi-stage paint job which makes the Marina almost a garage on wheels. So you can forget about garaging problems in winter.
The underside. 64 sq. ft of underbody protection. Something you usually find only on far more expensive cars.
The space. With 4 people in, the Marina is more like a lounge than a car. Which means there's easily room for 5. And all the luggage that goes with them.
The economy. You're not going to believe it - up to 43mph at 40mph on the 1.3, (There aren't many saloons of that size which can equal that.)
The only problem. Yours, not ours. You're faced with three very difficult choices. 1.3, 1.8 or 1.8TC engine, sporty 2-door Coupe or roomy 4-door saloon, and trims - de luxe or super de luxe. The TC has a trim all of its own. Only a showroom visit and a test drive can solve it.
And it all starts from £917 inc p.t.

PwC's 2018 Risk in Review Study, "Managing risks and growth in the age of innovation," shows how a distinct set of risk management practices can arm organisations to capture value from their innovation efforts and better manage related risks for further growth. Surveying more than 1,500 senior risk executives ranging from chief risk officers, to audit/risk committee members, to CEOs at organisations headquartered in 76 countries, PwC's study explores actions that risk executives are taking to achieve the appropriate risk-reward balance as they lean into innovation. More than half (60%) of those polled manage innovation risk very effectively or somewhat effectively – a cohort of the survey population which the study labels as 'Adapters'. Naar deze publicatie >

"It's kind of like being inside your own mind." Guy laughs, on being surrounded by his paintings that hang on the walls of the Bondi Pavilion Gallery for his first solo show.
Today marks the first of my series of monthly artist-profiles. The people I will interview are Sydney-based artists spanning the disciplines of the visual, music and performing arts. The goal of these interviews is to begin bridging the gap between the perceived "elitism" of art and the general public. I want to build a relationship by revealing the person behind the artist. I do this in the hope that understanding the person will then aid you to understand their art. My first interview features emerging painter Guy Francis Martin whose first solo show Falling Light (Bondi Pavilion Gallery) saw over a thousand visitors attend.
Picked up by Mclemoi Gallery when still a student at the National Art School, Guy is dedicated to art as a way of life. Emotion, relationships and life-experience make up the palette with which he paints the human experience.
Guy declined to be photographed while painting as he feels it is a private act, although he was open to discussing his practice. Systematically rolling cigarettes, he serves me chilled red wine, a habit picked up while traipsing around Italy a few years back.
His work begins conceptually, with an idea, that he thinks about every moment of every day. Whether sitting and having a coffee, rolling a cigarette or preparing food, life and art remain systematically combined.
"Even when I am not physically making work," Guy explains, "I am thinking about it and writing things down, and that becomes who you are."
Though sometimes contradictory, his subject matter is comprised of "love, loss, pain, beauty, religion, nihilism, sex, death and memory." Of the reactions to Falling Light, the artist's favourite moments are those when the "negativity and darkness" of his paintings are appreciated.
"The comment that has really stuck by me was something along the lines of 'It's good to see some darkness in the gallery of light.' I just found that so poetic."
The next phase in his process involves sketches and photographs done from a life model. Photographic elements from several different takes, alongside notes and sketches, are combined to become their own, singular image. These disparate elements are at once physically apart and yet intrinsic both to his self and the production of the one work.
The way Guy treats the human body – specifically the female body – is never with any intended objectification but, rather, with love. Often the figures are simply metaphors for a greater sensation. The painting is a depiction of his emotional state towards a loved one, whether or not the model is really the one that the painting depicts.
Childhood and adolescence were spent in the very picturesque, but very "isolated," places of Pearl Beach, in the Central Coast and the Blue Mountains.
Though nature seldom makes an appearance as his subject matter (apart from the occasional quiet and moody landscape), the character of these environments, the isolation itself, certainly does. These voids of beautiful space have become a part of him, which can be seen as translated into the often-vacuous space of his paintings.
Inner city isolation means he takes a more literal approach through the depiction of lone figures, as in Foam Mattress Revelations. The composition is a reference to The Crucifixion of St Peter by Baroque painter Caravaggio, while the title of the work and stripping back of all ornamentation talks about the emotional effects of poverty among young adults.
When asked to describe himself as an artist, Guy pauses and draws out a few words slowly, contemplating the meaning of each.
He begins with "figurative," for even though there may not always be a figure physically present in the work, every painting nonetheless remains about people and life.
Harking back to 17th Century Italy, his next carefully chosen words is "chiaroscuro," a term that refers to the emerging of a figure from shadow. The coming out of darkness and shifting in and out of light are both a part of the subject matter and of him, which brings us to the next, loaded word.
"It is almost entirely a 'psychological' portrait as the first parts of the process are the thoughts and images that exist in our psyche. Either the lighting reflects that, or I put that into the painting. For me, the light has a physical weight."
When asked to specify how, exactly, he is present in the surface of his work, Guy smiles, "Does it not intrinsically? Art is a reflection of the self." For those of us less privy to the secrets embedded within his canvases, he employs the literal use of reflections, for example in mirrors or on the surface of water, as a metaphor for the ever-present self of the artist.
The conversation here travels along a tangent tending toward the geniuses that have shaped his view and practice of painting. Looking at his shelves piled with "picture books," as he affectionately calls his art books, he manages (with some persuasion) to narrow it down to a select few. Among these, unsurprisingly, are Caravaggio (chiaroscuro), Francis Bacon (sensation of mind, body and emotion), Lucian Freud and Edward Munch (an early influence).
Creating is an act of pure self-expression; he paints for himself with the hope of perhaps moving other people. "I don't think art has the responsibility to be moral in any way and – thank you to Bret Easton Ellis for putting this well – I don't think a depiction is necessarily an endorsement." According to our artist, once morals are taken out of the equation, one is left with emotion. "The ability to genuinely move someone, to make them genuinely feel something, definitely comes into it. This is why art is so incredibly important for everyone."
It is clear now that, above all, Guy Francis Martin wants people to feel something when contemplating his paintings.
"No one else is going to listen to me, apart from my friends when we're drinking!"
This last is said with a wink and smile as he toasts me with his chilled wine.

Objective: The antibacterial activity of Moringa oleifera (Lam.) Leaves extract belonging to the family Moringaceae, was determined using agar well diffusion method against some selected bacteria.
Methods: Mueller Hinton Agar (MHA) (Becton Dicknson M. D USA), media was prepared according to the manufacturer's instruction. Sterile Mueller Hinton agar plates were inoculated with the test culture by surface spreading using sterile wire loops and each bacterium evenly spread on the entire surface of the plate to obtain uniformity of the inoculum. Concentrations of 30, 60, 90 and 120mg/ml prepared from the dry leaves powder were used for antibacterial analysis using agar well incorporation methods. Plates of Mueller hinton agar were prepared and allowed to solidify on Petri dishes. Each plate was then seeded with a test bacterium. Four holes were made in each of the plate with a sterile 2.0 mm diameter cork borers. Each of the four holes was filled with a given concentration of the extract mixed with plane sterile agar. The plates were then incubated at 37°c for 24 hours. The diameters of zones of inhibition were measured using a meter rule and the mean value for each organism was recorded.
Results: The aqueous, ethanol and methanol extracts of the plant leaves show an inhibitory effect on the growth of the tested bacteria. For aqueous, ethanol and methanol extracts, the inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli was significantly higher (P<0.05) than that of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa respectively. In addition, both ethanol and methanol extract showed a significantly higher (P<0.05) inhibitory effect at higher concentration of 120mg/ml.
Conclusion: The powder from the leaves of Moringa show potential antibacterial activity against the tested gram positive bacteria; Staphylococcus aureus and gram negative bacteria i. e. Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

This is one of the more challenging aspects of the text. As they were closer in time to the text, Wagner's original readership would probably have found the references in Oper und Drama to 19th C philosophy a little easier to retrieve than modern audiences. Also, Wagner wrote for a literary and philosophical audience, not just musicians. My research shows that my prime audience is likely to be musicologists and those generally interested in German culture.
I have to say that, although I had heard of Kant, Feuerbach and Schlegel, I couldn't have told you much about them and my knowledge of Greek Drama is verging on the embarrassing! However, as a German and Music graduate, I am probably fairly typical of my target audience, so I need to consider whether to give them additional help with the philosophical aspects of the text.
An additional problem for a translator is that, as this is a semi-literary text, I need to respect the language in it: that is, I can't translate for information alone, I need to consider the style, too. A difficult balancing act!

When a Georgia family law judge issues a child support order, the order is made on the assumption that the situation is static. The truth of the matter is, though, that individuals' financial situations can change quite a bit between a divorce and the time their children turn 18. The parent paying child support could lose his or her job and no longer be able to afford child support. Or, the parent receiving child support might need more money after the paying parent gets a better job. Regardless of why, when situations do change, Georgia parents can ask for a modification of child support.
Charlie Sheen's Atlanta fans may have heard that Sheen recently sought a modification from his ex-wife Brooke Muller. The reason? Brooke no longer had custody of the children and so Sheen sought to drop his child support payments from $55,000 a month to $25,000 a month.
Earlier this year, Sheen's other ex-wife, Denise Richards, took temporary custody of Sheen and Muller's twin sons. Muller had been subject to an involuntary psychiatric hold. She was also sent to a rehabilitation facility. Although Muller has made strides toward regaining custody of the twins, Richards still remains the custodial guardian.
Sheen's case also showcases a unique way of modifying child support. Instead of using a court to modify the order, his lawyers were able to come to an agreement with Muller's lawyers. Whether this is an option when seeking a modification of child support in Georgia should be first discussed with a family law attorney.

Have you ever smiled in the mirror and wondered what if?
What if your teeth were less prominent, or just a bit more even, or maybe that missing tooth was back in place?
Below you'll find the "What's In A Smile" quiz. It helps you play "What if" and then focus on what the mirror tells you.
Cosmetic dentistry isn't "just for movie stars" or "just for women." Typically it's very conservative treatment that returns huge dividends in personal self-confidence.
Today there are new tooth restoration materials and cosmetic dental care techniques that can put a beautiful smile within everyone's reach. For example, porcelain onlays and inlays can return structural integrity to damaged teeth, while leaving them looking as natural as the ones you were born with.
For teeth that are intact but seem to lack youthful sparkle, there are a variety of procedures that are simple, safe, and effective. You may want to inquire about teeth bleaching treatments, dental implants, or dental veneers that enhance your tooth enamel. Even a hygiene appointment can return light and color to your smile.
Many patients, whose appearance and self-esteem have been boosted enormously, have received only the simplest of cosmetic dentistry enhancements. Their only regret was that they'd waited so long to have them done.
Your cosmetic dentist will be happy to answer your questions. Please call to schedule a consultation.
We all suspect that how we look makes a difference in our lives. Think of the days when everything is going fine - that's a day you're feeling good and probably looking good.
In our teens, looks are everything. But as we get older, we tend to take our appearance for granted, and rely instead on our skills and professional competence to make up for any "cosmetic" imperfections.
Well, "cosmetic" is more than skin deep. We form very real biases about the people around us, even as adults, based on the simple fact of appearance. And the most critical factor in such judgments, according to copious research, is the teeth.
Yes, women are concerned about shape, as men are impressed by height. But everyone reacts the same to a healthy, beautiful smile. Whether we like it or not, people with straight white teeth are perceived to be more honest, more productive, more out-going, trusting, successful - you name it - than their counterparts with a missing tooth or broken teeth.
Your dentist has seen this psychology at work. For his or her patients, children and adults alike, cosmetic dentistry has made a tangible improvement not just in smiles, but in the quality of lives. A smile enhanced by restorative dentistry brings dramatic changes - changes more than "skin deep."
With new materials and techniques - tooth bonding, teeth bleaching, dental veneers, invisible braces - your cosmetic dentist is excited about the "magic" he or she can make. They've seen self-esteem grow before their eyes. Your dentist can help you look good, feel good, and get on with a healthy, vital life. Cosmetic dentistry? Go for it!

I know, I know. I don't eat there either. Last time was at least ten years ago. But—they do have a bell prominently featured in their logo. Why's that?
Taco Bell was started by Glen Bell in San Bernardino, California in 1946. Ok! Mystery solved! But let's dig a little deeper. What's the history of bells in Mexico?
The first bells in present-day Mexico were imports of metal crotals from Central and South America starting around 1000 A.D. (Crotals are hollow spherical bells with a clapper inside that rings when the crotal is shaken. Sleigh bells are examples of crotals.) It wasn't long before the locals started making their own bells. Mixtecan warriors wore crotal bells on their ankles and wrists. Some of the smallest crotals ever cast (1.5 inches long and 0.3 inches in diameter) were made by Mixtecans and adorned exquisite jewelry. Those destined to be sacrificed to the Aztec gods would wear bells as a sign of their impersonation of the gods. These bells don't look like the Taco Bell, though.
The Christian missionaries arrived shortly after Columbus and bells came with them. The mission settlements all over present-day Mexico mounted bells to regulate life just as in the Old World. The bells called the residents to services, announced meals, when to quit work for the day, among other things.
These bells resemble the one in the Taco Bell logo. Is Taco Bell referencing the missionary past or Christianity in Mexico today? Perhaps they are insinuating a religious devotion to their food in their patrons? Or a reference to the throbbing sound in your head after you've eaten their food? Ok, that was a low shot, Taco Bell. Sorry not sorry.
Eh, I'm not so sure it's anything beyond wanting to use the founder's name in the business name, which led to the obvious image choice, which in turn worked out because bells form an important part of Mexican history. Maybe it's as simple as that. What's your take?

A new report from Forbes suggests that the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S10 might mark the end of fragmented Android updates for owners of the South Korean company's flagship phones, right in time for the Galaxy series' 10th anniversary.
In past years, many owners felt that the worst part of owning an Android phone was the process of upgrading the device's operating system. Not only did updates come sooner for some models than they did for others, they also tended to roll out in phases, which meant waiting a couple of days, or even a week or more, for the rollout to be completed.
The launch of Google's Android One and Project Treble initiatives worked to change this, as several Android phone makers were onboard with the tech company's plans to put an end to Android fragmentation. As Forbes pointed out, Samsung has long been a notable outlier as far as both projects are concerned, due to its focus on its user interfaces.
That might change soon with the Samsung Galaxy S10, according to Forbes, as the company appears to be quietly working to make the Android software update process much faster for device owners. This was uncovered by Dutch tech blog GalaxyClub, which cited information from the GFXBench database indicating that Samsung waited less than a month before testing Google's latest operating system, Android 9.0 Pie, on the Galaxy S9 Plus.
Forbes' Gordon Kelly wrote that this is an important development because Samsung only started beta testing Android 8.0 Oreo on the Galaxy S8 in November, 2017, three months after the platform's initial release, and waited until March of this year to roll out the software to Galaxy S8 owners. That, he added, happened one week after Android 9.0 Pie's first public beta version was released.
RT @DidierBlueeyes RT @Androids: All three Samsung Galaxy S10 will feature in-screen fingerprint sensor https://t.co/jYEh15jmtC pic.twitter.com/JbZ5hnFfjy— La veille techno (@laVeilleTechno) August 29, 2018
As proof of the leak's legitimacy, Kelly added that the GFXBench's description of the update as an "invalid Android Samsung ss Edition" was a natural reaction of the benchmarking software to Samsung's "heavily customized" UI for the Galaxy S9 Plus and other devices.
While Kelly noted that the possibility of fast and prompt Android updates for Samsung Galaxy S10 users represents a major upgrade for the Galaxy S line, he stressed that the company has "little choice" at this point in the game. With Google's Project Treble working to separate stock Android software from third-party user interfaces and Android One focusing on the rollout of said unadulterated versions of Android and non-staggered software updates, Samsung has reached a juncture where it has to change with the times, especially since Galaxy S9 sales were considerably poorer than usual, as Mashable pointed out in July.
As recapped by Digital Trends, the Samsung Galaxy S10 is expected to come with a variety of selling points and specification upgrades once it launches early next year, most notably, in-display fingerprint readers for all models, a full 3D camera, improved battery life, and 5G support.

Every business is unique - and deserves a unique business name to match. But it's a very big world, so finding a short, distinctive name is very difficult indeed.
Novanym has made it easier: our unique company names list is full of 5- and 6-letter invented business names with the potential to become brand names.
They're unique company names that are evocative, not descriptive or generic - and each one comes with a perfect .com domain.
- Professional business naming …without an agency
- A selection of ready-made brand names, available to buy
- Names come with a perfect match .com that makes them unique
- A choice of 3 logo designs created by branding specialists
- Your unique domain name adds value and credibility
Our collection of 229 unique business names
Unique Business Names List
FIND A UNIQUE COMPANY NAME WITH AN EXACT-MATCH .COM DOMAINThese short names are distinctive, easy to remember, and convey confidence. Unique business names like this - with matching .com domains - are worth their weight in gold. They add brand value and make a good business name into a unique brand name.
Unique means different things to different people. In fact, the dictionary tells us that it can mean 'the only example' of something; but it can also mean 'incomparable', 'not typical' or simply 'unusual'. To us, a unique business name is invented, distinctive and full of character.
But it's a very big world, so it's very rare for any name to be totally unique. Even if a name is completely original today, there's nothing stopping someone else, somewhere in the world, using the same name next week or next year (by coincidence, or by copying). Even global multinationals with huge legal resources can't guarantee that their names remain totally unique.
The only thing in the world that is totally, 100% unique is the .com domain. If you buy a name from Novanym, you will be the only business in the world that can use that name with the .com domain.
The names you will find on Novanym are distinctive, evocative and memorable - not literal or descriptive. Because these names are invented, they might initially seem a little odd or quirky. But like many of the great brand names that we're all familiar with, they soon become 'normal'.
Google, Kodak, Lexus, Spotify… unique company names like this all started out 'meaningless' but are now powerful brand names that really mean business.
Novanym's names are more than just unique business name ideas - they're invented names that are designed to become .com brand names.
Designed to be unique
These names have been designed by Novanym's branding experts to be distinctive, memorable and full of character
Does unique really matter?
If a big tech business in Arizona has the same name as a small carpet business in Zambia, does it really matter? (Especially if the Arizona business owns the .com domain.)
Invented names are easier to trademark
Because they're not real dictionary words, invented names are easier to register as trademarks
Every name comes with a unique domain name
Every name purchased from Novanym comes with the only thing in the world that is totally, 100% unique - the .com domain
Unique is strange before it's familiar
An invented name can seem unusual at first - but soon becomes 'normal' - remember when you first saw the name Google, Spotify, or Skype?
A distinctive name gets remembered
Novanym's names aren't bland, descriptive or generic. They're remarkable company names that are designed to stand out and get remembered.

It's the festival period so that you can have a lot of ridiculous ideas in your mind. We also have some great ideas to fool your friends on this holiday, and one of the best ways we would like to do for you is to joke.
Jokes are the simplest and most effective ideas that can fool your friends in just minutes. Talk to your friends, family or anyone else you meet to talk on the phone and play with them with the sense humor. The great part is that you can cheat more than one individual with the same joke and take advantage of them. So, the following are top 10 best prank call ideas that you can play to anyone, be they, family or friends.

1. Use the random statements to scare the person
Call a person or friend at random and surprise them with random data like "I love you" or "I've seen you." You can additionally use other dramatic phrases like this to scare your colleagues. Make the statements more and more dramatic to annoy them extremely.
If you know this person, you can additionally share some personal records or background to make sure the person you are seeing is safe. This most probably makes the joke more interesting.
2. Do you prefer to get a $ 5000 in cash or free trip?
This is a common type of prank calls that often work. Dial any phone number and simulate that you are the leader of a leading travel site. Talk quickly about the travel organization and inform them that you are the key member of this company. Congratulate the individual for winning the trip and provide them with a surprise bonus.
Surely the individual will get confused and with anxiety ask you about the trip or cash. If you can, ignore your questions and continue with the winning theme. Tell them they have won a free Switzerland trip (or you can utilize any other foreign country which they normally talk off). The bonus also includes $ 5,000 in cash, so you can choose a trip to Switzerland or use the prize in cash.
3. Find a secret relationship or affair.
Call someone, and a person you well know can tell them that you're from a certain radio station. Try to pretend that you're a radio station presenter and invited them to an important topic that asked them to request a song to their girlfriend or boyfriend.
In case the individual is in a good relationship, they will immediately share the name and song they wish to devote to their friend. Then interrupt the conversation and show that you are the friend of your partner and surprise the partner by hearing the name of another person.
Also, you can also indicate that your partner will leave you and that the victim will be tangled for some time.
4. Ask for advice
This idea can invite you to an honest test and improve your skills of storytelling. Call some numbers randomly and describe your problem. You can start a conversation to talk to your friend about your separation or depression all the moments.
The victim can control his temper with some questions, and it is up to you to manage and control them and always keep them online. Add more details to update the conversation and request them for unbiased advice. Also, it stutters and stutters the victim while you complain about your wrong separation.
5. You no longer have toilet paper
At this moment, it is the time to play a prank on a hotel or restaurant manager. The hotels focus on customer service and can be used. Get in touch with the most known hotel in your city and wait for the hotel operator to be online. They expect a booking from you, and once they have finished their formal conversation, they begin to speak in a soft tone.
Tell them: "I'm stuck in the washroom and you cannot go out because you do not have toilet paper." Please, offer me one. "Do not try to laugh, or you'll be cheating a joke right away, let the person believe in you and let them feel embarrassed about it." Always try to trick them into more detail, leaving them confused.
6. Why did you contact me?
Often this joke works with the elderly. Call any number at random and ask why they contacted you. The victim gets angry immediately. Reiterate this several times, and finally, the person will hang on the phone.
This is the best prank if you get bored amid the day. You should call random phone numbers like this and perform the same trick, again and again, to view and listen to their reactions. You can additionally threaten the person saying that you will report them to the police station.
7. Being a fake mobile phone service provider
Dial your friend's number or any random mobile number and act as if it were from a mobile phone company. Tell them you have called a monthly mobile check and request them to repeat what you are saying to see if their phone is ready for operational.
You can utilize some ridiculous or ridiculous phrases like "My friend threw me eggs" or "I bathe with my donkey every day." In the end, you can request or ask the individual to repeat the last sentence, for example: "I'm an extremely idiot who fell in love with this fake phone number test man."
8. False surveys
This is the best prank ideas that you should try. The joke of the survey is another fun way to keep a person busy with questions, so they do not get suspended the call immediately. Inquire or ask the person some silly questions like "Can you or Have you ever eaten an egg snake?" Or "Have you seen the last episode of Baywatch?" (Understanding that the movie series arrived before our years).
You will laugh for hours for the answers that you will get from them. You can pose stupid questions similar to committing a person.
9. Haunted house
Call a random phone number and inform them that you're the owner of their land/house. Try to pretend you are apologizing to them for making some inconvenience and inform them in a soft voice, "Listen carefully, the lady in this home died years ago by coming suicide, and her spirit has been persecuted at home."
It is likely that the individual, on the other hand, is shocked and confused, so you have to make him think that it is a terrifying reality. Convince the individual to believe you and hang up: "Be careful tonight!" If a person is afraid of ghosts, they will certainly be afraid all day. So try this best prank idea.
10. Confirm booking at the adult toy store
Call your friend and simulate that you're the leader of the online adult games store. Tell them that their adult game reserves have been confirmed and will be mailed to his address. You can receive items at any time and then you should be located at the address. A person may feel embarrassed or confused.
You can also send a message for confirmation to their mobile phone or the Internet on their computers, which says: "… The reservation for (false name) with (incorrect order) was made correctly and sent to your address" Contact the courier (Invalid phone number). This, in particular, will make a feeling of anxiety in the affected individual.

These "prank call ideas" that we mentioned have been tested and seem to work effortlessly. Best of all, these tricks can joke with everyone, either you know them, or you do not know them well. You can also activate the recorded or automatic instructions over the phone to make it look real to the individual you're calling.

Moreau v. Klevenhagen
RESPONDENT: Johnny Klevenhagen, Sheriff of Harris County, Texas
LOCATION: Harris County Sheriff's Department
DECIDED BY: Rehnquist Court (1991-1993)
LOWER COURT: United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
ARGUED: Mar 01, 1993
DECIDED: May 03, 1993
GRANTED: Oct 05, 1992
Harold M. Streicher - on behalf of the Respondents
Michael T. Leibig - on behalf of the Petitioners
Facts of the case
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) allows public employers to give employees compensatory time off instead of overtime pay in some situations. The employees of the Harris County Sheriff's Department had a union representative who dealt with workers' compensation and filing grievances, but Texas law prohibited collective bargaining agreements. Each employee had an individual employment agreement with the Sheriff's Department. These agreements provided that employees would receive 1 ½ hours of compensatory time for each hour of overtime work.
Lynwood Moreau, president of the union, sued the Sheriff's Department for giving compensatory time instead of overtime pay. He argued that where there is a designated union representative, the FLSA requires a collective bargaining agreement to authorize this kind of compensation. The Sheriff's Department argued that, because Texas prohibited collective bargaining agreements, there was no properly designated union representative, and the individual employment agreements were effective. The district court ruled in favor of the Sheriff's Office and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed.
Can the Sheriff's department take advantage of the compensatory time exception from the FLSA absent a collective bargaining agreement in a state that prohibits collective bargaining agreements, but employees have a union representative for other purposes?
Media for Moreau v. Klevenhagen
Audio Transcription for Oral Argument - March 01, 1993 in Moreau v. Klevenhagen
William H. Rehnquist:
We'll hear argument now in No. 92-1, Lynwood Moreau v. Johnny Klevenhagen.
Mr. Leibig.
Michael T. Leibig:
Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court:
The concern before the Court today involves the precise rules under which a state or local employer may reach agreements to substitute time off for cash overtime with their employees.
It involves the interpretation of section 207(o) of the Fair Labor Standards Act and regulations issued under that section.
It is important that, under the usual rules, to realize that the Fair Labor Standards Act makes non-cash payment for overtime work illegal completely.
It always has, and there is a reason for this.
In 1937 when President Roosevelt first sent a message to Congress about the Fair Labor Standards Act he emphasized that one of the main purposes was to protect the unorganized and to establish an hours of work rule.
It might seem that the comp time rule, or the cash overtime rule, isn't directly related to the overtime rules, but it is.
The reason cash overtime is required is because other schemes that were in existence widely in the United States before 1937, for instance paying for overtime in script or paying for overtime in time off or comp time are easily manipulated to avoid the 40-hour-a-week work rule.
And that's the reason that the Fair Labor Standards Act itself, prior to the 1985 amendments which adjusted the act to the public sector, always outlawed compensatory time as a means of paying for overtime work.
In the 1985 amendments, after this Court's decision in Garcia, Congress responded a request from state and local governments to lighten the burdens that the Fair Labor Standards Act without a special statute would place on state and local government, and made a number of changes in the acts in specific response to pleas by state and local governments and their employees that special adjustments be made to recognize the special status of the states.
The states were effective in those pleas, and section 2 of the 1985 amendments allowed the use of comp time and also changed the rules with regard to volunteers and a number of other rules with regard to joint employment.
Part of the amendments, section 6, expressly directed the Secretary of Labor to issue regulations interpreting and implementing the 1985 amendments.
It is our argument that section 207(o) that deals with compensatory time and the conditions under which a public employer may use compensatory time that is not otherwise available, and are laid out in 207(o)(2)(A), require an agreement.
And the issue that the Court needs to address today are the precise conditions under which an agreement needs to be reached.
There are a couple--
Antonin Scalia:
Speaking of the Secretary of Labor, Mr. Leibig, why isn't he here?
Do we know that or do you know that?
Michael T. Leibig:
--Why isn't the Secretary of Labor?
Antonin Scalia:
I mean, why hasn't the Government expressed any view in this case?
Michael T. Leibig:
Your Honor, I'm not sure completely.
I'm not... I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with the fact that the briefs in this case were due almost immediately after the election in which the administration changed.
Antonin Scalia:
I see.
Michael T. Leibig:
And I think that relates directly to one of the arguments I want to make which has to do with why regulations, when there's a statute... the way the Fair Labor Standards Act works generally is that it's an administrative act which is very dependent on the regulations not only for the use of comp time but across the board.
And one of the flexibilities in the act, the portions of the act that are in regulations are in the Executive Branch, given to the Executive Branch by Congress, I think, partly specifically because of the increased flexibility that that allows over if they were in the statute themselves.
And I think the increased flexibility has been demonstrated particularly under the 1985 amendments.
Not only did Congress make new amendments, but since then on issues in which the states have been particularly concerned they have gone to the Department of Labor and got adjustments to the regulations.
In the Abshire case, which is a Ninth Circuit case dealing with who is exempt and who is not, that case was appealed to the Court and the Court denied cert. But at the same time state and local governments went to the Department of Labor and the Department of Labor changed the rules with regard to exemption specifically to recognize the special needs of state and local government.

Three of Australia's big four banks have begun rolling out their new $1 billion payment system that allows customers to transfer funds between rival institutions in near real-time.
Customers will be able to pay tradies or transfer cash to family and friends almost instantly, bringing the financial services sector into line with digital payments in other sectors like e-commerce and retail.
"This will give consumers new levels of personalisation and innovation not seen before in Australia," Westpac general manager Di Challenor said.
"Payment delays of up to three days can be a real pain point for customers."
Westpac, Commonwealth Bank, and National Australia Bank began limited use of the system on Tuesday, while ANZ is holding off while it undertakes further "rigorous testing" of the platform.
CBA said it has opened the NPP to 130,000 customers, while Westpac said it will be phasing in access to an initial "small group" of consumer customers.
"The security of our customer data is paramount and we are committed to ensuring our customers have a safe experience," Ms Challenor said.
The system has been in development for six years by government, the RBA and 13 financial institutions including the four major banks.
The lenders faced criticism on Monday's opening day of the industry royal commission when they said they would miss the deadline to hand over information on misconduct to commissioner Kenneth Hayne.
Adrian Lovney, chief executive of the so-called New Payments Platform, said the world-leading technology follows the rapid growth in mobile and digital payments.
BPAY chief executive John Banfield said users will eventually be able to transfer money instantly via their phone as services and products become available on the platform.

@MediacomSupport has the absolute most useless support. Tells you the basic "turn off and back on" then schedules a tech 2 weeks out. Y'all want me to go a whole month with no net? Not to mention how at least 5 times a week y'all kill my upload speed down to 1mbps?
