As South Carolina prepared for the arrival of COVID-19 vaccines into the state, the South Carolina COVID-19 Vaccine Advisory Committee (VAC) helped advise DHEC on ways to ensure the safe, equitable and ethical distribution of vaccines.
The VAC, which is made up of people who represent various sectors of our state's diverse population, offered evidence-based approaches aimed at making sure those at most risk of getting the virus or falling very ill and dying were vaccinated first. The committee followed guidelines from the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) as it made its recommendations to DHEC.
Laying a Strong Foundation for the Fair, Equitable and Ethical Roll Out of Vaccines
The VAC's credible and dedicated work laid a solid foundation for the many considerations South Carolina needs to take into account as it continues to roll out the vaccines. As South Carolina moves in the direction of making decisions based on vaccine supply, utilization and identified community needs, the VAC will no longer receive and review requests for prioritization of individual businesses or employee types into the various phases of distribution.
Transition to Help Build a Culture of Trust and Awareness
Instead the VAC will focus more on helping build trust, awareness and buy-in among the various populations and communities they serve across South Carolina. In effect, VAC members will become champions for their communities who will communicate critical messages to those they represent, provide meaningful feedback regarding how the vaccine rollout is progressing, and inform DHEC of gaps that might exist in reaching the communities they serve.
To advise DHEC of a fair, equitable and evidence-based approach to prioritizing critical population groups among those defined by CDC for initial receipt of vaccine; to maximize access to COVID-19 vaccine for each person in SC; and to assist in developing communication strategies so all understand the value to self and others of being vaccinated.
Guiding Ethical Principles:
- To achieve initial COVID-19 vaccination for the benefit of people and populations most at risk for viral exposure, virus transmission, and for severe illness and death from infection.
- To recommend a fair process for prioritization of vaccine recipients of available vaccine supplies.
- To recommend strategies to reach all relevant populations with clear, consistent and transparent communications about vaccine safety, effectiveness, and availability.
- To promote stewardship of available COVID-19 vaccine resources that is proportional to the risk and needs of specific populations and communities.
The VAC began meeting on September 30, 2020, and held its last meeting on March 3, 2021.

The VAC helps take federal vaccine guidance and adapt it specifically to South Carolina. In addition to helping finalize our state's vaccine plan and vaccination phases, the committee discusses ways to promote community awareness and engagement and assists in developing vaccine communication messaging and dissemination. It is vital to develop credible, compelling and culturally competent messaging to reach targeted populations as well as speak to those who might be hesitant about vaccines. The VAC has provided critical input on vaccine allocation planning in South Carolina and focus group feedback on vaccine hesitancy.

86% of businesses have issues with embezzlement, whereas employees that commit larceny are costing businesses upwards of $50 million a year in losses for the company. These statistics are staggering, but you may be wondering what the difference is in larceny vs. embezzlement.
In this article, we will provide you with the main differences between the two and give you some in-depth information on each financial crime. Continue reading this article for a complete understanding of how each crime works.
Larceny Crimes
Larceny is when you take the property or money of someone else without there consent. In the workplace, it's when an employee either steals money or company property without permission. If caught, the employee can face significant consequences, including being prosecuted by the company they work for.
In court, the company that is suing you has to prove that the employee intended to steal the company's property and keep it. Once the prosecuting has begun, some things will be taken into account when deciding on the consequences for the accused.
The things taken into account include:
- The property that was taken from the company
- How much the property that was stolen is worth
- Whether property taken by force or without others knowing
- If injuries were sustained when the property was taken
If convicted of larceny, the accused may face fines that can surpass $5,000. If the larceny charge is upgraded to a felony charge, then the person accused may face time in jail as well as additional legal fines.
When you're charged with embezzlement, you need to know the laws in Texas. Embezzlement is when you take someone else's property by hacking into their account, forging checks, stealing money by hacking the business system, and more.
Companies face embezzlement when hackers steal money or data from their company databases. These hackers are why it's recommended that businesses have various changing firewalls in place to keep potential embezzlers from taking from their company.
The best example of embezzlement is one of the security agents hired to monitor the company accounts begins to steal money from the accounts.
When a person is taken to court in this case, it would be easy to prove a relationship between the company and the officer because they have been tasked with watching over the accounts.
If you are being accused of embezzlement, you'll need to hire a legal team and begin to create your legal defense before a court. If you've been found guilty of embezzlement, you may face jail time and legal fines.
Larceny Vs. Embezzlement
In the argument of larceny vs. embezzlement, each can have consequences of jail time and potentially high fines. The information above should be read in its entirety to be sure of the differences between the two crimes.

It is Der Klassiker next for Borussia Dortmund, but this was no classic. Yet a ninth win in 10 Bundesliga games means Dortmund can face Bayern Munich on Tuesday in fine shape after Wolfsburg were defeated 2-0 in symbolic fashion.
Lucien Favre's mid-season switch to a back three gave Dortmund added impetus and the two wing-backs he liberated to advance both scored. Remarkably, Raphael Guerreiro and Achraf Hakimi now have 16 goals between them and, on one of Erling Braut Haaland's quieter afternoons, they showed men with defensive duties have their own propensity to prove prolific.
It was the second successive week when Dortmund faced a team who kicked off in sixth place and, once again, they dented their victims' chances of securing Champions League football.
A damaging day for Wolfsburg was compounded when Felix Klaus got a red card for planting his studs into Manuel Akanji's calf, referee Daniel Siebert looking at the monitor before dismissing the substitute.
Dortmund, however, were rather more emphatic in thrashing Schalke 4-0 seven days earlier. They will need to be better to beat Bayern especailly as Wolfsburg subdued their front three for long periods. Julian Brandt, who was outstanding against Schalke, was altogether more muted, apart from switching flanks to create an overload for the opener.
Guerreiro is a rarity among wing-backs, both in his potency and his capacity to get into scoring positions so frequently. His third goal in two games was taken from the sort of spot a forward may normally occupy. Indeed, the cross was meant for Dortmund's striker. Brandt and Hakimi combined on the right and Thorgan Hazard supplied a low cutback. It was intended for Haaland but, uncharacteristically, he missed his kick. Enter Guerreiro, arriving behind him to provide the calm finish.
His right-sided counterpart was similarly precise when he drove in the second. Dortmund had rarely sprung terrific counter-attacks until Jadon Sancho, who had come on for Brandt, led a swift break from his own half before unselfishly finding the overlapping wing-back. Hakimi scored the eighth goal of his productive season.
Yet those attacks were isolated affairs as Dortmund scored with their only shots on target. They played on the front foot from the start, enjoying plenty of possession, but they were not at their most penetrative. Equally, however, they were not troubled defensively before the break.
Then Mats Hummels' 250th Bundesliga game for Dortmund was curtailed when he was removed at half-time. Dortmund hope his withdrawal, a precautionary measure, will allow him to be fit for his reunion with Bayern but it created difficulties.
Dortmund had less conviction at the back without Hummels. His departure allowed a fit-again Emre Can to make his comeback but almost permitted Wolfsburg to equalise. Renato Steffen darted into a Hummels-shaped hole in the Dortmund defence to meet Wout Weghorst's flick-on. The Swiss should have scored. Instead his shot clipped the bar on its way over.
Steffen later connected sweetly with a volley that Roman Burki parried but Weghorst had too little service and too often Wolfsburg marred a promising opportunity by failing to provide the final pass.
There was a different kind of finality as Dortmund confirmed before kick-off that Mario Gotze will leave the club for the second time this summer. He is still only 27 but he can feel yesterday's man compared to some of their youthful attackers. Perhaps the only way is down after scoring the winner in the World Cup final at 22 but the descent into an afterthought has been a sad affair. This time, it is safe to say, Bayern will not be signing him.

Praise be to Allah.
The courses mentioned and similar courses are not included in the phrase "… and for Allaah's cause…", among the types of people who are entitled to receive zakaah, because what is meant by this phrase is the mujaahideen who strive for the sake of Allaah. But if there is anyone among the teachers or students who is poor, he may be given zakaah money because of his poverty, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"As-Sadaqaat (here it means Zakaah) are only for the Fuqaraa' (poor), and Al-Masaakeen (the poor)…"[al-Tawbah 9:60]

Who is Kokopelli?
Kokopelli is a fertility deity. Like most fertility deities, he presides over both childbirth and agriculture. He is usually depicted as a humpbacked flute player. Kokopelli's flute is said to be heard in the spring's breeze, while bringing warmth. It is also said that he was the source of human conception. Legend has it, everyone in the village would sing and dance throughout the night when they heard Kokopelli play his flute. The next morning, every maiden in the village would be with a child!
How do we hear?
The ear consists of three basic parts – the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. Each part of the ear serves a specific purpose in the task of detecting and interpreting sound. The outer ear serves to collect and channel sound to the middle ear. The middle ear serves to transform the energy of a sound wave into the internal vibrations of the bone structure of the middle ear and ultimately transform these vibrations into a compressional wave in the inner ear. The human eardrum is a stretched membrane, like the skin of a drum. When the sound waves hit your eardrum, it vibrates and the brain interprets these vibrations as sound.
As shown above, a compression forces the eardrum inward and a rarefaction forces the eardrum outward, thus vibrating the eardrum at the same frequency of the sound wave.
Similarities between Humans and Frog hearing
A frog's ear drum is called a Tympanum and works in very much the same way that our human ear drums work. A frog's ear drum, just like a humans ear drum, is a membrane that is stretched across a ring of cartilage like a snare drum that vibrates.
There is rod that is connected to the ear drum, which vibrates by sounds that come at the frog. That sound is just pressure waves. Sound is localized by the time difference when the sound reaches each ear. The rod sloshes around in the inner ear fluid, which causes microscopic hairs to move, which send signals to the frog's brain for interception. A frog's ear lungs also vibrate when sound waves come toward it, although they are less sensitive than the frogs ear drum. Frogs also cannot hear short and high frequency sounds.
Body Parts
Function of the Spine
The spine has many functions, the main ones are listed below
In the assignment, we are supposed to create a fashion wear for Kokopelli. We had to incorporate sound into the body part we got! The body part that I got was spine.
Our spine serves a number of purposes. It is made up of 24 moveable bones that helps to support our weight as well as to hold us upright. Spine plays an important role in our movement.
The spine is connected from the neck all the way to the tail bone. It is composed by 3 different segments: the cervical spine, which it connected to the neck; the thoracic spine, which encompasses the shoulder and chest area; the lumbar spine, as know as the lower back; the sacrum; and finally the tail bone.
The facet joints of the spine allow back motion. Each vertebra has four facet joints, one pair that connects to the vertebra above (superior facets) and one pair that connects to the vertebra.
Every movement, every step, like picking up a pencil or dancing and even walking. It all requires the spine. As seen in the image above, our spine is very flexible, we can bend and twist easily. The spine is formed with many bones, each with a soft 'disc' in between. The purpose is for flexibility and reduction of stress on bones.
Pleasant Sound – Wind + Leaves
Smooth, Calming, Constant
Unpleasant sound – Echo

China has been building the Y-8 since the early 1980s. The 54 ton propeller driven Y-8 can, like the similar American C-130, can carry 20 tons. China only built about a 130 Y-8s over the last 30 years, and sold some to Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Sudan. Meanwhile, more new uses are being found for the Y-8. One was recently converted to a medical evacuation aircraft, able to carry 39 casualties on stretchers and fifteen able to sit, plus medical personnel.
Many of the older An-12s are still flying. But earlier this year Russia grounded all An-12 transports after one developed problems with one of its four turboprop engines and crashed in the Far East. The Russian answer to the American C-130, the 61 ton An-12 entered service in 1959 (two years after the C-130), but production ceased in 1973 (after 1,280 were built). The 70 ton C-130 remains in production and over 2,300 have been built.
Hundreds of An-12s are still in service, mostly with cut-rate airlines in out-of-the-way areas. In the last two years, five An-12s have crashed (in Egypt, two in Congo, the Philippines and Russia). The current grounding will remain in effect until all operational aircraft can be checked for some common flaw. Actually, all these aircraft do have a common problem; old age. The average operational An-12 is over 40 years. Maintenance is often skimpy and flying one of these aircraft is literally a death-defying event. The An-12 was a military version of the An-10 commercial passenger and freight transport. In turn, the An-10 was a four engine version of the twin engine An-8, designed after the war to replace the Russian license built DC-3s.
Meanwhile, the Chinese Y-8s are well maintained and constantly updated with new equipment. China is apparently increasing production and finding even more uses for this 60 year old design.

This might require one to extend their budget but it is better than struggling to sell a beautiful house which is located at a sketchy location. The demand for good locations has resulted in the growth of Luxury Apartments in Noida and Lucknow and has attracted the Best Real Estate Developers from all over India.

"Never hire someone who knows less than you do about what he is hired to do."
This famous quote by well-known American entrepreneur Malcolm Forbes sums up the advantages of acquiring top talent for a company. It is easy to have a hopeful prognosis about an organization's future but foreseeing it is impossible. However, being prepared for the unforeseen can give a competitive advantage and help businesses achieve transformational growth.
Talent acquisition is among the foremost needs for a future-ready organization that does not want to fall behind in pursuit of growth. Nowadays, the hiring landscape is fraught with unexpected challenges. The rising demand for highly skilled, resilient professionals with the changing nature of skills and jobs in the digital era has made the role of talent acquisition specialists extremely critical.
Talent acquisition experts have a significant task – how do they monitor and ensure the continuity of the talent acquisition activity? Are there tools and technologies for streamlining this process? This blog details talent acquisition and the best practices for drawing up the strategic talent acquisition process.
Talent acquisition is a strategic process to find, assess, acquire and retain suitable individuals to accommodate an organization's talent needs. It involves a structured set of implementation tasks the teams within the HR (Human Resource) department perform to secure top talent. It addresses the issue of identifying talented employees, given the organization's resources, workforce situation, market position, and other competitive parameters.
In short, talent acquisition initiatives aim to develop and execute strategies to have a better quality of hires, develop a strong employer brand, deliver a better candidate experience, and set up a robust talent pipeline for future requirements. Furthermore, technology and data-driven tools such as talent management software can efficiently help talent acquisition professionals carry out their functions.
A successful business combines several distinct aspects, among which talent is one of the most important. People are the driving force in any company's operations. Hence, identifying and retaining the best talent is crucial as it straightly affects the organization's future success.
Here is why talent acquisition is more crucial than ever:
The talent acquisition team addresses the talent needs, continually seeks the best talent in the industry, and builds an effective relationship with prospective candidates. Then, when the situation calls for it, the organization can connect with a valuable network of interview-worthy individuals.
It considers the changing business needs, given that the organization is eyeing growth and expansion to fill current and future talent gaps. Talent acquisition strategy also helps forecast future talent needs and costs, including new openings for senior-level roles, which allows HR teams to stay proactive in securing top talent.
Undeniably, making great hires can translate to exceptional products or services. Talent acquisition can help set a baseline for business standards and functions.
An organization is as good as its people- the higher the quality of talent, the better the quality of a company's offerings. Therefore, the onus is on employees to align themselves with business objectives. Their competencies, decision-making abilities, and attitude have a considerable bearing on the bottom-line growth. Without the right people in the right roles at the right time, an organization's future may head toward oblivion.
Although these terms are often used synonymously, talent acquisition and recruitment are subtly different. The recruiting process is aimed at filling positions in an organization. While it focuses on finding the best person for a job, it is far less nuanced than the talent acquisition process.
Recruitment | Talent Acquisition |
Addresses an organization's immediate hiring requirements. | It delves deeper into the organizational goals, present and future planning while hiring talent. |
It is a specific, predefined process usually implemented either during a turnover or expansion. | It not only focuses on filling vacancies but also gravitates toward finding the right fit who seeks a long-term association with the company. |
It is a crucial part of talent acquisition. | It is considered a part of the HR processes. |
Priority areas include sourcing, screening, interviewing, selecting, and onboarding employees. | Priority areas include developing a strategic hiring plan, building an employer brand, building a talent pipeline, maintaining the applicant-employer relationship, and acquiring the right talent through effective sourcing strategies. |
It may be perceived as a reactive approach, implying that as soon as a position opens, it must be filled without any delay. | It is a more comprehensive, ongoing talent strategy that involves long-term human resources planning to find prospective talent for roles that mandate a particular set of competencies, e.g., leaders, future executives, specialists, etc. |
Talent acquisition management usually comprises five steps, from talent needs analysis to final assessment. So, a systematic approach for managing the talent acquiring process would yield the best outcomes.
First, talent acquisition specialists scope out talent needs by communicating with their managers or leaders to understand business objectives and finalize goals for the year. They also regard multiple factors while drawing up hiring plans, such as onboarding, new team formation, attrition, varying job markets, etc. This stage also includes understanding hiring managers' job requisitions and preparing job descriptions.
This stage involves candidate sourcing, wherein the talent acquisition team makes every effort to gain high visibility in the employment market for their job openings. They do so with the help of various means- publishing openings on their career site, multiple job boards, communities, forums, social media groups where engagement and awareness for interactive events take place, such as hackathons, referrals, etc. They might tend to use the services of external vendors/recruiters. Eventually, they have a large pool of qualified candidates to pick from while hiring.
The moment candidates start pouring in via various sourcing mediums, it becomes evident for the talent acquisition experts to screen them on numerous parameters like skills, experience, aptitude etc. Online talent assessment software helps conduct this complete process efficiently. This advanced platform can automate and streamline multiple stages of the selection process like written assessments, video interviews, technical interviews, coding reviews, and more based on the job roles for which companies are hiring.
Moreover, the interview panel can utilize structured interviews extensively as they are highly objective and standardized. Talent acquisition teams can let the panel in on the evaluation criteria and interview kits beforehand. The interview panelists then review the interviewee's performance and share their feedback.
The well-thought-out feedback provided by the panelist helps the talent acquisition team accelerate the final hiring decision and give out offers. The team begins the onboarding formalities after the candidates accept the offer. They want to ascertain whether the new employees have made acquaintance with the superiors and teams and how soon they started engaging with the organization for a promising beginning. This step also helps minimize new hires reneging on the offer. The acquisition team also includes any good talent that they came across who somehow did not become a part of the talent pool for future considerations should the need arise.
The last step of the process is the evaluation. This step aims to understand whether the candidate's expectations in terms of the job and organization have been fulfilled. This allows understanding of the underlying expectations of candidates. If there is an expectation misalignment, candidates' needs should be addressed in a structured manner by identifying probable causes. For example, it could be that managers might be unaware of what recruiters have promised to the candidates or miscommunication/misinterpretation could create different notions in the new employee's mind.
When approaching a talent acquisition strategy, an organization should prioritize what it aims to achieve and what tools it intends to use. However, the process's effectiveness is dependent on different recruitment scenarios, which are covered below.
Bulk hiring is an entirely different scenario from recruiting for a single position. The former necessitates managing a hiring ramp-up without increasing costs while maintaining the hiring quality. A strategy for bulk-hiring will include sourcing talent and using talent assessment software that automates the pre-employment screening process to assess talent holistically via data-driven tools.
Finding highly qualified and capable candidates for senior roles is arduous, as they cannot be subjected to the initial teething phase that junior employees undergo. From the first day, senior-level employees are meant to be at the helm, to steer the organization towards success. Therefore, you need to craft a meticulous strategy for senior professionals, with a completely different approach for sourcing and engagement. It would be best to partner with a leading online talent assessment provider to meet critical talent acquisition requirements.
Research suggests that employee referral is one of the most accepted talent acquisition methods, irrespective of a staggering increase in the number of social recruiting platforms and job boards. This is because internally acquired candidates are already aligned with their organization as per their personality and culture fit, which significantly alleviates the burden for talent acquisition managers. Some of the best ways to approach the internal talent acquisition strategy are seeking endorsement across the organization, gamifying referral programs, and providing referral incentives.
With digital transformation becoming a pressing priority for every organization, tech hiring now needs a well-structured talent acquisition strategy, requiring high reliance on technical skills assessments rather than gut-based hiring approaches. Top tech talent also wants to be associated with an employer brand that provides them with a greater sense of awareness. With the best tech talent, even the non-tech companies can stay competitive. Moreover, there are robust solutions aptly designed for technical hiring. Likewise, you could also formulate acquisition strategies for various scenarios, such as temporary roles, contractual employees, etc.
Technological interventions can enable HR teams to streamline their sourcing and recruiting processes. People are optimistic about a return to normal with the pandemic restrictions eased down. While when and how normalcy will be restored is a different debating point, it is safe to assume that the new normal has a significant bearing on hiring and other human resource undertakings.
Listed below are some reasons that discuss the benefits of bringing technology into strategic talent acquisition.
Technology is an enabler in the process of seeking out the right candidate on a local and global level. You can communicate with thousands of qualified candidates globally with just a command. Many applicant tracking systems or learning management systems can work in unison with advanced recruitment platforms to help you conduct customized online assessments secured with best-in-class proctoring integration.
On average, the corporate job receives over 200 resumes. From those stacks of resumes, it may well be possible that only some candidates possess the competencies and experience required for the job. So, how would you achieve your desired hiring goals? Tackling a hefty stack of resumes is strenuous and time-consuming. This is where feature-rich recruitment software comes in handy in parsing bulk resumes and assessing candidates' skills. Unsurprisingly, top tech titans have been incorporating automated assessment into their recruiting process and reaping its benefits.
Technology has made the hiring process a breeze for evaluators and job seekers. While interview scheduling software addresses the logistical hassles by automating the scheduling and rescheduling process, the video interview tool offers a broader array of options for hassle-free interviewing. As a result, video interviews are becoming more popular with businesses of all sizes because they bring many benefits to the fore.
They are helpful during the initial screening stages, save meaningful time and resources, and improve the efficiency of the process. In addition, it enables interviewers to schedule and conduct interviews and provide instant reports anytime, anywhere. The latter is all possible due to the emergence of online interview platforms to conduct virtual interviews for technical and non-technical roles.
How reliable do you think intuition-based decisions are? It is even illogical to vouch for the accuracy of gut-based hiring; instead, one should only base their decisions on data-driven insights. Corporates want to leverage data-based and analysis-driven inputs to make informed people decisions. The good news is they can employ the new age talent assessment tools to ensure a potential candidate's cultural and job role fitment.
It has often been the case that many candidates do not receive any communication even after many months of applying for a job. Such instances do not bode well for the organization's reputation as they negatively impact applicants' morale. Therefore, technological tools are gaining steady ground among employers, allowing them to communicate openly in real-time with candidates, set clear expectations, and share instant feedback. Ensuring engaging, fruitful interactions through recruitment software has fostered excellent communication between hiring managers and applicants. Therefore, it allows recruiters to quickly share updates or results with candidates in the hiring process.
The pandemic, two years on, has a significant bearing on the job market. The impact of this disruption posed many challenges such as workforce retention, technology adaptability, talent shortage, etc. For employers, securing and retaining great talent continues to be a significant challenge. However, the best part about disruption is transformation. Such cataclysmic events are the progenitor of innovation. Talent acquisition processes haven't been left untouched by the grip of the pandemic; the ways of finding, selecting, and onboarding new employees have also got caught up in the waves.
COVID-19's impact on talent acquisition practices called for a collective rethinking of finding new ways to identify, hire and retain new employees. Everything went virtual, from screening interviews and final interviews to onboarding, and made way for utilizing virtual platforms in innovative ways. The pursuit of talent was conducted in a remote environment. No one would have thought that virtual recruiting strategies would soon take precedence.
Migrating recruitment modalities online may have seemed uncomfortable initially, but talent acquisition professionals soon become accustomed to the change. Nowadays, a blend of virtual and in-person hiring processes is a highly sought-after approach to speed up time-to-hire. Like earlier, talent acquisition experts adhere to initial phone screenings but consider taking the face-to-face interview online through video interviewing software. For organizations looking to scale up their hiring, reliable technology is now at their disposal.
The post-pandemic world of work has witnessed a staggering percentage of employees looking for more flexible work policies as one of their expectations. Remote working and flexible working hours have become a part of today's new normal. At the same time, employees realize the need to adapt to recent technological advancements with agility. Most importantly, companies are focusing on work-from-home policies to attract and retain the best talent. It is among the current trends in talent acquisition that could enable recruiters to find talent well outside of their normal geographic boundaries.
Using AI in recruitment and selection has been a trend for a while now. By integrating AI in the selection process, onboarding and employee management could improve significantly. AI can streamline the process and result of candidate sourcing because it can process data at larger volumes, expand the reach, and speed up the process of building talent pools. For example, it makes the task of crawling millions of profiles online incredibly quick.
Similarly, recruiters can secure the best talent even while dealing with hundreds or thousands of applicants per job. Talent acquisition teams can save countless hours and focus on nothing but the best by implementing AI in the screening process. It also enhances candidate engagement by automatically sending them emails, assessments, text messages, etc. Most importantly, AI has also empowered employers to run focused ads for great results, such as programmatic advertising, which can help display suitable ads to potential applicants. These ads are targeted using the target candidate audience's LinkedIn data, demographics, cookies, etc.
AI tools also find their use during a remote recruiting process, wherein these tools can help assess a candidate's personality, competency or skills. AI-driven recruiting solutions also help in diversity hiring by minimizing bias factors. For example, AI can filter out age, gender, race, and other implicit biases when considering profiles, making the screening process objective and unbiased. AI-based recruiting chatbots also provide an efficient way to gather applicant data which can be shared instantly with HR professionals.
Talent acquisition experts who place a premium on internal mobility will have a better top talent retention rate. Organizations that urge their employees to apply for openings internally make it a point to create well-defined, clear paths for their workers to engage and retain them. C-suites have come to the realization that the competitive hiring landscape has made it a bit more challenging to hire the best talent; hence they must focus on internal mobility.
Essential development interventions such as reskilling and upskilling are also becoming a pressing priority to tackle attrition issues and keep things more manageable for talent acquisition teams concerning their talent sourcing goals. While talent sourcing through job boards, social channels, etc., and recruiting through such mediums form the core of talent acquisition management, the ample benefits of prioritizing internal mobility are also unignorable.
A distributed work environment has shone an uncompromising light on the need to keep employees engaged. Although the return to work has initiated a hybrid manner, a collective realization among organizational leaders has mandated the need to keep in-office and at-home workers engaged.
Businesses with employee-centric policies and a concerted plan for employee engagement will have the edge over the competition in this fiercely aggressive market. Strong company culture is about understanding and acting on the needs of each employee, even if they work in silos. If they can establish a meaningful connection with their superiors, equals, and subordinates and be appreciated for their contribution, they will stay longer where they work.
The aftereffects of the pandemic have been incised on every human in one way or another. Frequent deliberations on employee wellness and mental health have taken precedence over other topics, and talent acquisition leaders are also not untouched by these prevailing concerns. These concerns have become foremost for talent acquisition personnel and human resources professionals in the wake of the pandemic. In addition to their ambitious hiring objectives, talent acquisition and recruitment professionals must recalibrate their processes in instances like virtual interviewing cycles and collaborating with other team members. Therefore, a substantial focus on workforce well-being and employees' flexibility is critical.
Personalized, data-driven nurturing will provide the way to deliver a great candidate experience. One crucial aspect of talent acquisition management and data-led hiring is candidate nurturing. Imagine the ordeal of sending an extensive list of emails to prospects manually. This draggy, resource-intensive approach to interacting with prospective candidates and tracking them through the hiring funnel is arduous. On the contrary, automated nurturing can simplify the complexity and eliminate the need for manual methods of communication.
It will also help in giving a personal touch to candidate outreach initiatives. Well-thought-out nurture programs are being tested and fine-tuned systematically to ensure that each consecutive nurture campaign is more refined than the earlier one. Most talent acquisition leaders look forward to having enhanced functionalities in their ATS (Applicant Tracking System), such as candidate relationship management (CRM) functionality with built-in nurturing capability for meaningful relationship-building with talent.
A realization has dawned upon the talent acquisition teams that a data-driven approach and adequate technology to implement that approach is crucial in the current times. The use of real-time analytics in metrics like pipeline management, acceptance rate, cost of hires, quality of hires, candidate feedback data, etc., can help automate workflows to decrease the manual work and give impetus to the strategic talent acquisition efforts. Data can empower talent teams to strategically source, nurture job seekers, and hire the right talent objectively and efficiently.
Once you have read this informative piece on talent acquisition, it becomes clear that manual processes will not suffice. Fortunately, there are readily available, innovative solutions that help demystify the entire talent acquisition process with technology-based interventions and a flexible SaaS (Software as a Service) model.
The first two years of COVID-19 witnessed a surge in remote hiring solutions, and this trend is only meant to grow as more businesses are fixating on hybrid or remote work models. While it seems unfeasible to unravel what awaits us in the future, we can still get our HR teams geared up with the best tools and technologies to address any unforeseen hiring challenges. With the best recruitment technologies, you can simplify your talent acquisition process and expect meaningful outcomes.

NEW ALBANY, Ind. — It has been three months since Gov. Holcomb announced an executive "Stay at Home" order for the citizens of Indiana. Since that time, small businesses throughout the state have struggled to stay afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic downturn. Recognizing the need for direct assistance to small businesses, One Southern Indiana (1si), the chamber of commerce and economic development organization for Clark and Floyd counties, along with the Caesars Foundation of Floyd County and the Community Foundation of Southern Indiana, joined together to raise funds to assist.
Response was overwhelming, with funding coming from the three initial partners as well as the BlueSky Foundation, Metro United Way, the Clark and Floyd county commissioners, the cities of Jeffersonville and New Albany and the towns of Clarksville and Sellersburg. Funding was also received from private individuals who wished to remain anonymous.
Wendy Dant Chesser, president and CEO of 1si, was pleased with the efficiency and results of the program, and said, "We took on this challenge knowing that every business needed help, and we would not be able to assist them all. But everyone in Southern Indiana can be proud of this effort in our collective time of need. Not only did we have a multitude of partners step forward to support the fund, but we also had 1si and Southeast SBDC staff members assisting loan applicants, volunteers reviewing and approving the loans and many others who helped get the word out to the community at large. This is an incredible accomplishment and its success can be attributed to everyone involved."
There were three loan products offered with the funds raised. The first, the COVID-19 Small Business Emergency Forgivable Loan Fund, approved 44 loans for a total of $419,257, which was dispersed to approved applicants within one week. Of that amount, $199,000 was loaned to Clark County businesses and $220,257 to businesses in Floyd County.
Donum Dei Brewery was one of the recipients of this program. Brewery owner Richard Otey said, "Donum Dei would like to thank Jerry Finn and the Caesars Foundation of Floyd County, One Southern Indiana and all of the other organizations that contributed to the COVID-19 Small Business Emergency Forgivable Loan. This loan will allow us to stay open and maintain our staffing at current levels. It will also give us the opportunity to replenish our raw materials that have been depleted by making hand sanitizer for the community."
The second loan product, called the Community and Cultural Relief Loan Program, was a zero-interest revolving loan program. From that fund, a total of 44 businesses received $561,295, with $175,946 loaned to Clark County businesses and $385,349 loaned to Floyd County businesses.
Ross Wallace, owner of New Albany's Him Gentleman's Boutique received a loan from this program. He said, "This loan means so much to me! Thank you, Caesars Foundation, for this amazing opportunity. After Him Gentleman's Boutique being closed for almost two months and Derby being postponed, the business saw a significant loss of revenue."
The "Jeffersonville Sustains" Forgivable Loan Program was the third loan product providing 35 businesses with $172,000 in direct assistance. All recipients of this program were located within the city limits of Jeffersonville. Phillip and Stefanie Caldwell, owners of Hoopsters Sports Grill, were recipients of this loan and said, "We are grateful to live in an amazing community, that during this trying time in our country, steps up and helps their small businesses be able to keep their doors open. The money that has been loaned to us will help us pay our utilities, mortgage and keep buying supplies. We will continue to pay the generosity forward."

Do you know that it is prohibited in Islam to choose Muslim baby names that have bad meanings? Also, it is highly discouraged in Islam to twist Muslim names. It is mentioned in the Quran (49:11) that believers should not call each other by offensive names. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) has also strictly advised us to choose names with good meanings.
When you're expecting, there is a lot going on in your life. With your newborn about to enlighten your life and fill it with happiness, there come many responsibilities for you to manage. One such responsibility is choosing a proper name for your baby. There are many Muslim baby boy and girl names that sound really charming and have great meanings. The variety of these popular baby names may even confuse you.
But while finding the most suitable and unique baby name for your newborn seems a bit tedious, the whole process can be fun when you do it the right way, with the right help. That is where you can use online services like "Sweetbabyname.com". It is a large database of classic as well as modern baby names. It helps you find the best baby boy name for your handsome little one and/or a beautiful baby girl name for your cute little princess.
But before you choose the best baby name for your newborn, make sure to choose a name that cannot be twisted. It is especially prevalent or a "custom" in Asian countries to twist baby names. More often than not, the twisted name becomes the identity of the person even when he or she grows to become an adult. This can not only be insulting but also psychologically distressing for your child if he or she has to endure any such event.
That is exactly why you—as a parent—needs to not only choose the most suitable and well- meaning Muslim baby name, but also to discourage anyone in the later life from twisting the name or making a nickname out of it. Often, parents choose a unique name that is quite hard to pronounce so people normally shorten the name to use it as per their own convenience. This should never be the case. To avoid such instances, you can choose a popular baby name that is well-meaning, easy to speak and suits well to your baby's personality.

The rapidly growing trend of video collaboration at work – as well as the increased need for privacy – is boosting the demand for soundproof and sound-reducing focus booths in offices across South Africa.
Isla Galloway-Gaul, Managing Director of Inspiration Office, an Africa-wide office space and furniture consultancy said: "There has been a huge increase in the use of video conferencing technology like Skype, Google Meet/Hangouts amongst others in the workplace in the last few years as collaboration at work becomes the new normal way of working.
Collaborating is growing
"Collaborating with colleagues in different cities in South Africa, and around the world, is an important way to get the best outcome for projects and client work by getting all relevant people in one place on a video call."
Booths that block – or substantially reduce sound – are in demand as people can quickly pop into a booth and not disturb other people around them while on a call. Booths are also mobile so can be added to and moved around different parts of an office space when they are needed. It is also much quicker to install booths an in office, rather than looking for extra office space or renovating existing space.
A greater sense of privacy
Another advantage of booths is the sense of privacy offered to workers – especially those in one plan offices.
Said Galloway-Gaul: "When someone feels that they are working in a private space, their job performance improves. If an employee is talking on the phone, for example, they may feel more comfortable talking to a client, building a rapport, and working out a deal than they would with their colleagues listening in on the conversation."
Office booths allow for more control
One of the big psychological repercussions of an open-plan office is the lack of control on the part of your employee. "This can lead to subconscious feelings of helplessness. There's no way to get away from the noise, nowhere to find any privacy, and no choice as to their work environment," Galloway-Gaul noted.
When you add a separate booth that employees are allowed to use when they need to, you give them back that control. This leads to greater productivity, higher morale, and better job satisfaction.
Workers often say that even if they don't use the privacy offered by a booth, just knowing it's available to them lowers their stress levels.
The need to cut out unnecessary noise
The distraction of noise at work, even in the background, can be very distressing on a mental level. That means an increase in stress levels, which can be very significant over time. Loud noises cause people to pause in their work, lose focus, and have to restart tasks because their concentration is lacking.
"Even if you can't see this happening, it is almost guaranteed to be the case for all employees working in an open-plan or noisy office. With a booth, those problems are completely eliminated, " Galloway-Gaul concluded.

This is quite a find, and despite its name, nothing to do with the B range from Superdrug. I know how hard it is to get names trade marked etc, so how two brands managed the same one, I am not sure.
However, this gel is absolutely divine. It's made by the folks at Blink Brow Bars and my first impression is how cooling it is on the skin – I can only imagine how lovely it's going to feel in summer! Containing organic rose water, aloe vera, plum seed oil and cucumber, the Rose Gel leaves skin feeling soothed straight away, and unlike other gels doesn't disappear to nothing.. you are left with a very light oiled feel to the skin with a distinct rose fragrance. It's £24 HERE.

When George Washington took office as the first President of the United States on April 30th in 1789, he swore his constitutional oath on a Bible.
Since setting the precedent, nearly all presidents have also taken their oath on the Bible – one of few exceptions being when a Roman Missal was used instead.
When twenty seven people squeezed into the 16 square foot state room of Air Force One for the inauguration of Lyndon Banes Johnson following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Judge Sarah T. Hughes hadn't brought a Bible with her.
A search began and at one point Lawrence F. O'Brien, an aide from the Kennedy administration, emerged from the President's cabin with what was believed to a Bible: resting in a cardboard box still wrapped in cellophane, it was leather bound and embossed with a cross.
Unbeknownst to them however, the book was instead a copy of a Saint Joseph Sunday Missal. It's exact origins are a mystery, although it's believed it was a gift he received shortly before he arrived in Dallas during his trip in Texas as John F. Kennedy was the first Catholic president.
Today, the Missal used to swear in LBJ resides at the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin, Texas.
