Overview of the Department of Defense Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (DoD ELAP)
The Department of Defense Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (DoD ELAP) is an agreement between the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and U.S. Navy for environmental laboratory accreditation and analytical testing to support DoD projects and DoD programs. The DoD ELAP, which originated in October 2009, covers environmental programs at DoD operations, activities, and installations, which also includes formerly used defense sites (FUDS). The Department of Energy (DOE) recently became part of the DoD ELAP for DOE sites and programs.
The DoD ELAP accreditation is specific to sample matrix, analytical method, parameters, compounds, and elements. DoD ELAP accreditation is based upon the DoD Quality Systems Manual (DoD QSM). The QSM was developed by the DoD Environmental Data Quality Workgroup (EDQW) and the DOE Consolidated Auto Program (DOECAP).
Conformance to the DoD QSM is mandatory for environmental laboratories performing analytical testing in support of DoD projects. The DoD QSM provides baseline requirements for the establishment and management of quality systems for laboratories performing analytical testing services. The QSM is based upon Volume 1 of the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conference Institute Standards, which incorporates ISO 17025.
Merit Laboratories maintains DoD ELAP accreditation. Merit is also designated a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE). Merit's DoD ELAP accreditation includes aqueous and solid sample matrices for a diverse range of analytical methods for organics, wet chemistry, and metals. Please contact Merit to learn more how about it can assist you on your next DoD project.

B&H opens its doors to anyone curious about trying the hottest technologies of 2016 and beyond
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - December 13, 2016) - Most people have heard about the latest tech toys, but not many have actually played with them. At the B&H SuperStore in Manhattan, customers can demo drones in a testing cage with a B&H sales professional, dive into the world of virtual reality, and play the latest PS4 and Xbox One games -- all without paying a dime.
Most Americans have not yet experienced drones and VR, despite the tremendous media attention the new technologies enjoy. A major reason for that is the lack of accessibility.
"People are very curious about drones and virtual reality," said Eli Daskal, director of the SuperStore. "But they are hesitant to buy these immersive technologies without trying them first. They see YouTube videos about them, read technology articles about them, but ultimately don't have firsthand knowledge for an educated shopping experience."
B&H changes that. The store has a large section of its second level dedicated solely for drones, virtual reality, and gaming experiences. Shoppers are welcome to try anything they want -- from demoing a DJI Phantom 4, wearing a Samsung Gear VR, or playing FIFA 17 and other new titles on the Xbox One S or PS4. What's more, there is no limit on time or number of products one person can test. The interactive experiences are accessible to everyone during store hours.
Drone Testing Cage
Measuring 900 cubic feet (10' x 10' x 9'), the Drone Testing Cage allows shoppers to demo any drone on display in the store including the DJI Phantom 4, Phantom 3 4K, Inspire 1, 3DR Solo, and others with the help of a B&H sales professional. Users can become familiar with the varying flight sensitivities, smart flight features, and the drone controller itself. One-button aerial flips are also on the table.
To view all drone equipment, https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/browse/drones-aerial-photography/ci/27989/N/3765401970
Virtual Reality Arena
The Virtual Reality Arena is located conveniently next to the drone cage. Customers are welcome to try on a wide variety of VR headsets, including the Samsung Gear VR (compatible with Samsung smart devices), Zeiss VR One (compatible with smart devices 4.7" to 5.5"), Merge Goggles (compatible with most iOS and Android smart devices), and other headsets.
Note: The VR content on B&H devices is limited, so shoppers are encouraged to download content on their personal devices before coming to test them at the SuperStore.
To view all virtual reality and 360 video equipment,
Gaming Zone
The Gaming Zone is also located on the second floor, close to the drone and VR areas. Here shoppers can play the latest titles for the Xbox One S or PS4, experience driving simulators, and try on the latest gaming headsets.

"Ultimately, people want to know what they're paying for," Daskal said. "We are happy to give our customers that piece of mind. Seeing the smiles on their faces is an added bonus."

Aside from its new execs, the Academy is getting ready for another big change — its move to the Hollywood-based Kodak Theater, which will hold the 2002 Academy Awards.
Part of the $650 million Hollywood and Highland complex, the $95 million Kodak, which is on schedule to open its doors in November, is just one block from the Roosevelt Hotel that housed the first Oscar ceremony in 1929.
While the theater is still months from completion, a recent hard-hat tour showed the Kodak's aesthetic as dramatically different from the Shrine Auditorium or the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, with a look that architect David Rockwell described as "mythological."
Attendees at the 2002 Academy Awards will walk past a 70-foot glass curtain and through a series of arches. Red marble mosaic risers will be placed along the pathway. Glass-beaded wall panels ring the theater lobby; when lighted the iridescent glass looks similar to a silver screen.
Boxed in
The theater proper has the intimate feeling of a European opera house. Twenty-four boxes flank the multi-tiered space, which is capped with a giant silver-leafed tiara.
In his planning, Rockwell, whose mother was a choreographer and vaudeville dancer who toured with Abbot and Costello, was mindful of design elements needed to accommodate live TV broadcasts, creating a media cockpit on a special lift in the center of the orchestra seating that can be lowered and raised. The theater also boasts a winner's walk — a private hallway from the stage that leads directly to a press room.
Rockwell, whose other projects include Radio City's Carnivale Spectacular and the set design for "The Rocky Horror Show" on Broadway, said that he hopes the Kodak will not only serve the Academy, but also as a venue to revive theater in Los Angeles.
The Kodak will house a December run for the American Ballet Theater's "Nutcracker" and a spring 2002 staging of Broadway hit "The Full Monty."

pseudo thermodynamic parameters
So I'm having some difficulty understanding how to use the pseudo thermodynamic parameters. What is the whole "pseudo" part mean and how do they operate with organic molecules?
Re: pseudo thermodynamic parameters
Pseudo-thermodynamic parameters only apply to reactions where there is a transition state indicated with the double daggers. For example you have this type of set up equation: . These pseudo-thermodynamic parameters work the exact same way and can use the same equations as we learned earlier in this quarter for regular thermodynamics, so we might not give you the ones that are in the course reader with the double daggers in them. The reason that these values are considered "pseudo" is because they are for a transition state, and transition states are so unfavorable they only exist for an almost infinitesimal amount of time. You can almost say that the transition state doesn't really exist because its lifetime is so short, and that is why thermodynamic values that involve the transition state are considered to be "pseudo".

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Bridgestone Corp. plans to build tire factories in China and Eastern Europe for a total cost of about $476.5 million (50 billion yen), according to a report published Friday.
Bridgestone is looking to build its fourth Chinese factory in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported. The additional factory will allow Bridgestone to supply tires to Toyota Motor Corp. (7203), Nissan Motor Co. (7201) and other major automakers in the province, the newspaper reported.
According to the report, Bridgestone BRDCY, -0.91% (5108) is looking for a site in the Czech Republic, Hungary, or several other eastern European nations. The factory is expected to serve Eastern Europe and Russia, where demand for automobiles has risen, and other parts of Europe. A Czech joint venture between Toyota and PSA Peugeot Citroen group could be one of the major buyers, the newspaper reported.
According to the report the two plants, as well as a new plant in Brazil, is slated to start operating as early as 2006.
The Japanese tire maker is expected to finance the expansion with its funds and borrowing, the newspaper reported.
On Thursday Bridgestone shares closed up 45 cents a share to $38.65 in New York.

In general, a right of publicity is a right to control use of your name, likeness, and other aspects of your identity. Right of publicity laws normally give an individual the exclusive right to license the use of their identity for commercial promotion. This right is traditionally associated with celebrities where the name or image of a famous person is used to market products or services. However, under some right of publicity laws, any individual, famous or not, can assert a right of publicity claim. Typically, if a right of publicity has been violated, the remedy includes any damages sustained by the person or persons injured as a result of the violation. These damages can include compensatory damages, punitive damages and even attorneys' fees.
The right of publicity is a constantly changing body of law that is governed by state law and thus varies greatly from state to state. Many states still do not have any right of publicity laws, while others, like California have continuously evolving state laws involving the right of publicity. Currently, about nineteen (19) states have right of publicity statutes and about twenty-eight (28) more recognize the right by common law. In addition, many states recognize a post-mortem right of publicity. The length of post-mortem right of publicity varies greatly from state to state. For example, Tennessee recognizes a right of publicity for ten years after death, while Indiana provides recognition for a right of publicity for 100 years after death.
A recent new doll by HeroBuilders raises some interesting right of publicity implications. The doll is called the "Ebola-free Nurse" and comes at a time when nurse Kaci Hickox, who treated patients with Ebola in Africa, has been in the news because she was quarantined in New Jersey against her will. The new Ebola-free Nurse doll by HeroBuilders appears to resemble Kaci Hickox. The HeroBuilders doll has a similar hair color to Ms. Hickox's hair and includes other similar features. It also has a red "X" over the right eye. The doll is on sale for $29.95 and includes an Ebola-free health certificate.
One must wonder whether Ms. Hickox authorized HeroBuilders to construct a doll with similar features as hers. Nothing has come out yet of her objection to the doll. It remains to be seen if she decides to take action against HeroBuilders, but it appears that she may have strong arguments in her favor. If she decides to pursue an action, she may be able to recover both compensatory and punitive damages.

Statement on H.R. 3221, the "Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008"
WASHINGTON, July 30--
The National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) applauds the President for signing H.R. 3221, the "Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008," into law earlier today. The Act includes several items that NAHRO has consistently argued are of vital importance to the housing and community development needs of our nation, including a permanent GSE-financed affordable housing production program and special Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to support state and local efforts to stabilize neighborhoods with high numbers of vacant and foreclosed homes.
NAHRO also welcomes the inclusion of the Public Housing Disaster Relief Act of 2008 as part of the omnibus housing package. This common sense reform clears the way for local housing agencies to access FEMA funding for the permanent repair and reconstruction of public housing units following natural disasters and other emergencies and has been a major NAHRO legislative goal for nearly three years. NAHRO is also pleased that H.R. 3221 includes Small Public Housing Authorities Paperwork Reduction Act, which eases the administrative burden for smaller housing agencies. Additionally, H.R. 3221 includes needed reforms to the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program. These important reforms will improve this successful program's ability to attract capital to support the expansion of our nation's affordable housing inventory.
"H.R. 3221 is perhaps the most significant piece of housing legislation in years," said NAHRO's President Renee Rooker. "We are pleased that Congress and the President have decided to take action to assist families and communities hurt by the foreclosure crisis, to address the nation's economy, and to bring housing issues into the forefront where they belong."

Secret Island
Secret Island[edit]
After exiting the door near the pile of denim blocks, make sure NOT to pull the blue button at first. Climb the denim blocks and collect Bonus Star Token #1. You can then pull the button and continue through the stage.
After you drop the next set of denim blocks, enter the door on the right next to the spikes. Platform up and exit the door above you. Then pull the button on your right to open a path below that houses the Treasure Rug.
Continue until you encounter the 7 denim blocks stacked on top of the 4 yellow ones. Move through the spikes on the right and platform (still behind the fabric) up to the red door next to the blue button. Exit the door, grab the button, and jump to the ledge above the evil purple face. As you jump down, steal the Waddle Dees spear and break the yellow blocks to reveal an Exclamation Mark. Follow it to a fossil to the right. Use the new turkey to help you reach the Treasure Chest up and to the right; a Totem Pole.
When you enter the part of the level with Balloon Waddle Dees, make your way to the top left area to find two sets of yellow blocks and two sets of denim blocks alternating. Before doing anything else, enter the green door and jump to the area on the left. Grab one of the Waddle Dees arrows and destroy the yellow falling blocks.
Then return to the first door you entered and take an arrow from the other Waddle Dee and destroy the other two yellow blocks. Return back to the left and climb the newly opened ladder. Climb the ladder and you'll find Bonus Star Token #2.
Make your way across the Balloon Waddle Dees to the top, far right of the stage and you'll meet up with a Treasure Chest that holds the Splash Beach Soundtrack.
Exit the balloon area to the bottom right and make your way to the very top of the next area. Bonus Star Token #3 will be waiting for you below the spikes.

It's war of the smartphones
Samsung vs Nokia vs Apple: who will be number one in the next five years? Rajiv Makhni writes.brunch Updated: May 05, 2012 19:37 IST
Blaring Big Headline Strategy Analytics announces: Samsung shipped 44.5 million smartphones and overtook Apple (35.06 million units) to become the world's number one smartphone vendor.
Really Loud Headline IIHS declares: Samsung sold 32 million units of smartphones while Apple sold 35.06 million units. Thus Samsung remained in the second place in the smartphone segment, behind Apple Inc.
Incredibly Intense Headline: All analysts declare: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd in the first quarter overtook Nokia Corp to become the world's largest cellphone brand for the first time. Samsung sold 92 million units to Nokia's 83 million.
The three headlines came within days of each other, had two major contradictions and are indicative of the amazing number game that is now played out every quarter. At stake are two crowns: who is the King of the Smartphone Kingdom across the world and who is the Master of the Universe in total mobile phone sales? And within these two battles lies a tale of misdirection and deceit.
A New Cell King?
For 14 years, Nokia has reigned supreme. It has been the first cellphone for most people across the world; it is synonymous with the word 'mobile phone'; it has got more brand recall than almost anything else on earth (analyst Tomi Ahonen calls it "the brand most widely spread on the planet"); more people use a Nokia phone than drink Coca Cola, wear Levi's jeans, Nike running shoes or write with a Bic pen. In a nutshell, Nokia was the undisputed monarch and king of the mobile phone. Was! And now Samsung has toppled it and Nokia is dead! And in that last statement lies the foolishness of people jumping not just a gun but an entire platoon of tanks. How can a company that sells 83 million mobile phones be dead?
The misdiagnosed demise of Nokia is based on the fact that its Windows Phone smartphone sales have not set the world on fire. While it is true that mobile phone growth currently is predominantly fuelled by smartphone sales, the feature phone market isn't dead or buried! In emerging markets as well as countries like India, feature phones will still continue to dominate for the next five years. Enough time for Nokia and Microsoft to plan for the future. Nokia Windows smartphones sales reflect the typical sluggishness of a huge transition and it is way too early to knock them off the smartphone market completely.
My Blaring Big Prediction:
Nokia will continue to be number two for the next two years. Samsung may forge even further ahead. Apple cannot touch this crown unless it comes up with at least three other iPhone variants including an economy iPhone. If the Microsoft-Nokia gamble pays off in two years, you may still see Nokia reclaim what it has been for 14 years.
The Smarter Crown
This is the fun story. Samsung is the new smartphone king and most people tend to agree with that analysis. It has sold 9 million more smartphones than Apple, and has so many variants within that category (dozens within Android, also a player in Windows Phone, plus has its own OS, Bada) that it positively makes Apple look silly with its 'only iPhone' strategy. Samsung is aggressive – it's building a great worldwide distribution network and manufactures most of its components in-house. Case closed, right? Wrong! While there is no disputing the fact that Samsung is on a roll, there are still grey areas that lie within. For starters, Samsung doesn't declare smartphone sales numbers – an unfortunate decision that came out of a controversy over the number of phones it shipped versus number of phones it sold. If Samsung wants to be a clean and clear number one, it also needs to report things more clearly. Second, the smartphone arena is no longer only about the device itself but the entire ecosystem: apps that consumers bought, accessories available for that company's products, music downloaded, videos and movies bought, eBooks sold to users of that device. And in this arena, there is only one undisputed king – Apple.
My Really Loud
Samsung will leap further ahead. The new Samsung Galaxy S phones revealed in London, the next version of the Note and more aggression with the upcoming Windows Phone 8 phones will give it some very serious numbers. But there are four bludgeoning hits coming in the future. A huge comeback from from BlackBerry with its OS 10, Nokia and Microsoft hitting incredibly hard in the next one year, LG unleashing some great phones and Apple with its iPhone 5 (a real new iPhone, since the last two were just very minor upgrades to the iPhone 3GS) and an economy iPhone (may well be the iPhone 4S at a unlocked price of $199). King Samsung has its fight cut out.
This is a number game that matters as it's a game involving billions of dollars and the very survival of many companies. While the roadmap for the next two years seems quite set in stone, who will be number one in five years? It could be any of the big three or a complete unknown. A new king may already have been born – we just don't know it yet!

A Little Place in the Country
One of Winston Churchill's ancestors built this house to reward himself for winning a battle at a place called Blenheim. This was at a time when being a general could make you very rich. If you look at Eisenhower's modest house near Gettysburg you see that generaling has gotten less remunerative.
Blenheim Palace is larger than the house the Queen lives in. We visited Blenheim some years ago. The thing I remember is Winston's toy soldier collection which is displayed in a glass case in the hall. He was born there because his mother happened to be visiting at the time. Winston's people were poor relations. He wrote bestsellers for a living. He wasn't given huge sums or a palace for saving democracy. When he was P.M. he lived in a poky little house in a side street in Whitehall.
I classify people into two categories: cabin rich and cabin poor, depending on whether they have a place in the country. We do not have one, but I've been known to draw pictures in exchange for weekends. The Duke of Marlborough hasn't called to invite us yet.

Kaitlyn has been busy the past few weeks! A trip to the Alps, Christmas in Munich, and New Years in Barcelona!
A week before Christmas, Kaitlyn and Ozzy went to see the Alps in Austria. They thought about hitting the slopes, but with only 2 inches of snow, they decided to just visit the top of the mountain.
For Christmas, the two went to spend some time with some of Ozzy's family members in Munich. Unlike the American Tradition of Santa Claus coming down the chimney on Christmas Eve night, in Munich (at least the people Kaitlyn was with) celebrate it a little differently.
Kaitlyn explained, "The people we were with celebrated the angel, Christkindl. Christkindl arrives Christmas Eve night. Right before the angel arrives, the children are ushered out of the room. When he is done delivering the presents, a bell is rung and the children are allowed to re-enter the room and find their presents. The concept of Santa is completely replaced with Christkindl."
Kaitlyn also went on to note that Germans seemed to put a little more emphasis on Christmas Eve rather than Christmas Day. For the Christmas Eve dinner they went all out with soup and a roast. Whereas on Christmas Day, they enjoyed a traditional pizza.
To celebrate New Year's, Kaitlyn and Ozzy went to Barcelona! For those of you who haven't had the privilege to travel to Barcelona, Kaitlyn explained that parts of it are a lot like Mexico, with shops on every corner.
For the actual New Year's ceremony the couple hung out with a few friends and 70,000 others to ring in the New Year. Kaitlyn explained, "There is a tradition in Spain to eat 12 grapes before the stroke of Midnight for 12 months of good luck in the new year. A few years back Ozzy convinced me that I needed to eat all 12 grapes in 12 seconds otherwise I wouldn't have good luck in the new year. Let's just say that isn't quite how it works. So this year I took my time eating the grapes."
While in Barcelona, Kaitlyn and Ozzy also checked out La Sagrada Familia. The La Sagrada Familia is a cathedral that has been under construction since 1882. Although the original architect, Antoni Gaudi predicted it would take 200 years to complete, it may take even longer than that!

A couple in California currently faces charges of dealing drugs from their home by utilizing a drone for making deliveries. The couple was arrested on drug charges following an undercover investigation by police. The man and woman are 39 and 31 years old respectively.
Police said they got a tip about illicit activity taking place at the couple's home and thus started surveillance of the house. They reportedly spotted a drone fly from the property's backyard to a nearby parking area. Then, a package was reportedly dropped from it.
Police reported that several individuals were apparently waiting for the package and ended up gathering the contents. Authorities then obtained a search warrant and served it on the couple on a Thursday morning. In the couple's home, police reportedly discovered hypodermic syringes that had been used, methamphetamine and powder that appeared to feature fentanyl. The couple has been charged with possessing drugs for sale (three counts), possessing drug paraphernalia and child endangerment.
Those facing drug charges in California may understandably be worried about what may happen to them if they are convicted. However, no conviction can be secured unless the prosecution can prove each element of the charges beyond a reasonable doubt -- a standard that is challenging to meet. Rather than going to trial to fight the charges, a defendant may seek to negotiate a plea deal with the hope of receiving lighter charges and therefore a more lenient sentence. An attorney can help the defendant in either scenario to pursue the most personally favorable outcome possible.

I found out at an early age how most of the Filipinos prefer fair skinned and those who are half of something.
Here are just some of harsh words that some people told me.
1. You are ugly.
2. You don't have the face to make it to a pageant.
3. You look like our maid/katulong.
4. Your teeth is ugly.
5. You look like one of the girls who are out at night looking for foreigners.
6. You will never make it.
7. You are just intelligent, join a quiz bee not a pageant.
8. You are weak and useless.
9. No guy will ever love you.
10. Why did you make it to the final 50 candidates, there are prettier girls than you.
What do I say to them?
I say nothing. I am the type of girl who would never let other's judgement put me down. I have been dealing with negativity since I was young. After being told I don't have the looks to make it to a pageant, I trained hard and won First Runner Up in Bb. Ormoc 2009. What I do is simple, I use those negativity to push me further up. It makes me work harder and I always see it as a challenge to prove them wrong. The only mistake one can make in this life is to allow people to get the best of you and ruin your life. Always think past the negativity, being positive in yourself and the people around you are the only options to make the most out of life. Be happy, not everyone will like you but make sure to live a life that will make you into someone you yourself will love. For me beauty will always be more than a physical attribute. People can judge you on how you look. Beauty from within will always be eternal and it's the kind of beauty that makes this world liveable and beautiful. So don't fret and ditch the negativity.

Governor Cuomo published a letter to President Trump on Sunday asking the federal government help bail New Yorkers out of a looming mass transit crisis at Penn Station, a situation Cuomo likened to a natural disaster.
"While this is not a hurricane or flood it will affect as many people and businesses with dire consequences," Cuomo writes. "Like a natural disaster, we didn't create it but our public offices require we address it."
Commuters who take NJ Transit and LIRR have suffered nightmare commutes in recent weeks with delays, signal problems and derailments becoming a daily fact of life. Travel to and from Penn Station has become so bad an increased police presence has been needed to contain the angry, sweaty crowds.
To make matters worse, Amtrak recently announced plans to make emergency repairs this summer, which could take six weeks or more and lead to an estimated 20 percent reduction in service for commuters from New Jersey and Long Island. Read more at NY POST.

FAQ/Contact Us
Before messaging us, please go through the Frequently-Asked-Questions to understand adnexio more.
1. How do I join adnexio?
You need to get a permission from your company to create an account with us. Ideally, your company's adnexio account should be managed by an authorised recruiter.
2. Do I have to pay to create an account?
No. It is free of charge.
1. I created an account for my company but does not see any feature to advertise job vacancies?
The job vacancy matching feature will be made available on 15 March 2019. Employers can advertise vacancies from 15 March 2019 onwards.
2. Do I have to pay to advertise?
No. It is free of charge.
1. I still don't understand how the system works. Can you explain what happens when I advertise a vacancy?
adnexio is developed as an artificial intelligence career platform. An online machine recruiter, which we call NEX, carries out the recruitment tasks. When an employer advertises a vacancy, it will list down the job requirements that include education background expected, work experience, salary expectation, skills required, the certification that is needed, and so on. NEX will digest the requirements listed by the employer and go through its database to see candidates that best matched each of the requirements. NEX will suggest between three to seven top candidates who matched the requirements to the employer. The employer can see the online video interviews and the scores of the referred top candidates.
2. What if I like a candidate and want to interview him/her further?
If an employer wants to interview further a candidate referred by NEX, he/she can pay a referral fee (RM100) to access the candidate's particulars, e.g. name, contact details etc. adnexio will connect the employer and shortlisted candidates to arrange for further interviews.
3. What if I am satisfied with the screening process done by NEX and want to offer a candidate a job straight away? Can I do that?
Yes, you can. The same standard referral fee (RM100) is applicable for an employer to access a candidate's particulars, irrespective of the purpose for contacting the candidate (whether to arrange for a further interview or to offer a job straight away).
4. But I thought everything is free?
Advertising job vacancies on adnexio are free. NEX carries out the bulk of the screening work to ensure only the best-fit candidates are referred to employers. We believe the pre-screening done by NEX would have cut the recruitment process by 80%, allowing employers to focus on onboarding good talents to harness their potentials. The referral fee of RM100s is minimal compared to the cost to advertise, screen and select candidates that employers have to pay currently. A market estimate of the total direct and indirect costs to recruit an employee (including human resource personnel, recruitment, advertisement and onboarding) can range between RM3,000 to RM10,000 per successful recruitment (depending on the size of the company).
1. How do I pay the referral fee?
The job vacancy matching feature will be available from 15 March 2019 onwards and come with an online payment gateway. Employers can pay with credit cards, online transfer and other online payment methods. Employers can also opt to be billed manually to maintain an amount of referral credit with adnexio.
1. How do I join adnexio?
You can create an account and go through the online interview.
2. Do I have to pay to create an account?
No. It is free of charge.
1. How am I being assessed?
You are rated based on five criteria: your academic standing, the work experience you have had, your leadership traits, your personality and your online interview. NEX has specific algorithms to rate and rank you against the other job seekers.
2. But I am a fresh graduate; surely I don't have enough work experience to compete with candidates with experience?
NEX knows when you are a fresh graduate and will adjust the rating algorithms to take into account that you do not have much work experience.
3. Out of curiosity, how exactly do you use a machine to interview and rate people? How do I know this is not a scam?
Please read "Who's NEX" to understand machine learning and artificial intelligence. NEX learns from the big data of candidates and job matches that it accumulates to develop artificial intelligence that mirrors a real-life recruiter.
1. Do I have to do the online assessment each time I apply for a vacancy?
No, you only do it once. NEX keeps your score and searches for a suitable vacancy every day that matches your score.
2. Does that mean my career and education information will be outdated after some time? What if I enrol into a course and complete the course after my online assessment with NEX, how do I reflect that?
You can always log in to your account at adnexio and update your career and education information. NEX will re-compute your score and update it instantly.
3. How do I know I just got an interview offer?
NEX is programmed to send you messages (on your account dashboard and via an email) to inform you that you have been shortlisted for a vacancy by an employer. You will know what the job is and all the relevant information about the job (salary, location etc.). You have to indicate that you are willing to be considered for the job match referred to you. When you indicate your willingness, NEX can inform the employer accordingly. You will get a message with details of the interview arranged with the employer. All messages are system automated.
4. I don't see anywhere on my dashboard informing me of an interview? I checked my email and never received an interview offer either.
The job match feature will only be available from 15 March 2019 onwards. In the meantime, NEX collects as many candidates and employer profiles to fill up its database. NEX needs the time to carry out machine learning to mirror a human recruiter. From 15 March 2019 onwards, you should begin receiving messages pointing you to possible job matches, or interviews pre-arranged for you.
5. Do you say NEX will help increase my employability?
In the next version of adnexio, NEX will be able to advise you why you are not shortlisted for vacancies and ways to improve your score. Improving your score will increase your employability because NEX goes through your score to match you against available jobs.
6. I already have a job, so should I bother joining adnexio?
NEX goes through each profile and matches it against available vacancies. It does not matter whether you are already in employment or not; once you are on adnexio, NEX will refer you to available vacancies every day. It is up to you whether you want to take up the job interviews referred by NEX. adnexio offers an online headhunting service that is free to job seekers. If your current job does not meet your expectation and NEX refers you to a better job offer, it is in your best interest to consider it.
7. So, now and then I get referred to new employers who are interested in hiring me?
Yes, without having to leave your room. Only one interview and one online assessment to match you with a stream of offers in the future.

1001 water-wise ways: Ahem, I wrote a book
I feel a bit pushy putting this up on my blog, but thanks to you and you and you and you and YOU! and youandyouandyouandyou -- I have a book on water-wise ways coming out in less than two weeks' time. This was the brainstorm of Bookstorm (bad pun: tick), a nimble indie publishing company run by the indefatigable Louise Grantham, along with Russell Clarke, who shepherded me and the MS through production, and Nicola van Rooyen, who sold this book while it was still a gleam in Louise's eye.
It was all their idea, and while I often say it takes a village to write a book, in this case, it was far more. The content of this book was generated by every single person who's spoken to me about water, from scientists to activists, from gardeners to councillors, from guesthouse owners to waitrons -- and let's not forget all the people I've met in queues at springs, and in coffee-shops and at meetings. I haven't talked to this many strangers in years.
So this is to say a huge thank you to all those people who have chipped in (I nearly said "dripped in") with their ideas and tips for saving and harvesting water and generally being very clever and creative in their responses to the crisis. I hope you'll enjoy the book, and it's not all Serious and Austere -- there are some fun bits, and hopefully it will stimulate more ideas and discussion, especially as we come up against further water challenges in the months that lie ahead.
Spoiler alert: there are more than 101 tips in the book. In fact, we have a perfect nelson (111), which means a lot to this cricket fan.
Back to the week that was: it's been fascinating in terms of water meetings -- got to chat to some very interesting people about what's going on behind the scenes: in a nutshell, frantic prep by the City, in partnership with civil society, NPOs and private organisations, for Day Zero. Yup, the supposedly "cancelled" Day Zero. It's still very much a possibility, but what's comforting is discovering how hard people are working to "waterproof" the City, zone by zone, institution by institution. Right now the huge wild card is whether or not it will rain this winter, and how much: and we just don't know. However, I have grounds for cautious optimism: my cats are already growing in their winter coats (last year, they were sporting summer lightweight suits well into May).
Nevertheless, it was encouraging to hear how much is actually being done, especially in and for vulnerable communities -- certainly down here in the Deep South. I hope similar efforts are being made elsewhere. I shall sleuth and let you know.
A relative asked me the other day if I wasn't sick of all the extra work engendered by being water-wise. Actually, I relish it -- still love the sense of thumbing my nose at the City when I climb into a bath of water that an hour ago was falling from the sky, even if it's meant racing around from downpipe to downpipe with buckets. But I confess to being a little bit tired of having to clean up grey water when I accidentally spill or splash it -- that stuff can be pretty dreary and stagnant-smelling. So here's a tiny but good tip: the tidiest, most efficient way to pour grey or non-drinkable water into a toilet tank is to use a garden watering-can. That's if you haven't rigged up a polystyrene or plastic top with a funnel, but if you're still lifting your ceramic lid off, this prevents splashing.
And here's a sweet recommendation from a friend who recently had a birthday party: eat more ice-cream cones. I can get behind this one.

#TRAVELINGTINK - Rome, Italy
My travels have taken me to a lot of special destinations, but my past #TravelingTink adventure to Rome, Italy was definitely one for the books! Traveling overseas was something I was born and meant to do!
Checking in to the pet friendly luxury hotel NH COLLECTION Roma Palazzo Cinquecento made my arrival extra special! I was provided with these classic custom NH Collection dog bowls and homemade Italian dog treats! There is also a complimentary bottled water left in the room every day, so I would never go thirsty!
The room was very spacious for a European Hotel. I had a living area, bedroom, very roomy bathroom and a terrace overlooking the beautiful city!!
The HOTEL WAS located in the heart of Rome and WAS walking distance from all of the attractions in the beautiful city! Some of the attractions I enjoyed were...
Vatican City
The Colosseum
You can never forget about the amazing food...
Most restaurants in Rome during the summer time have outdoor seating, so they are extremely pet friendly! Thank goodness, because I wanted to experience all the cuisines!
The Shopping scene in Rome isn't that bad either and the cobblestone streets make for fabulous photo opps!
Rome, italy is definitely a Pet Friendly Destination but it's also a true diva's destination!

When a Rebel Makes a Pros and Cons List: The Aquarius Moon
Last year Lyndon's teacher was going to miss school for a few days, and he was upset because he really did not like the substitute. She was mean. She obviously favored the girls. I tried to figure out whether I was dealing with was some inflexibility on Lyndon's part or an actual horrible, no-good sub.
I told Lyndon my sub story from 4th grade. My beloved teacher had a car accident and had to miss the last months of school. I was NOT happy about the change. Every day I was mean to the sub. I tried to turn my friends against the sub. When the sub brought her daughter to school one day I was even mean to the daughter. There was nothing wrong with this woman except that she wasn't my teacher. Now that I'm an adult I can reframe her awkwardness as trying, and that's the part that breaks my heart. I told Lyndon I still regretted the way I treated her for those months. I didn't want him one day to feel the shame and regret of having not given someone a chance.
So we strategized. I suggested he keep a Pros and Cons list throughout the day so he could try to stay objective and open. He agreed.
This was the note he came back with. In the scribbles I can see the struggle between keeping an open mind and having all the emotions that come up when you're nine years old. It's hard to be a kid with no real power. It's hard to feel no control over a situation. As his Mom I wasn't crazy about some of what I saw in the Bad column – let the kids have a sip of water, Lady – but I didn't feel compelled to step in and report the sub. Part of life is learning to navigate difficult people and situations, and I thought he could make it through the next day. Lyndon promised me he didn't roll his eyes at her or try to turn his friends against her, and I considered that a win. He had done better than I had.
The moon is in Aquarius again today. We may feel some of this rebellious energy. We may just not be in the mood to put up with someone or something. All we can do is try to stay objective and with Jupiter and Saturn in the mix, patient and generous. Sometimes we really do need to fight, but sometimes we don't. Be true to yourself, but try your best to discern. Aquarius the humanitarian can see that we're all equal and worthy of dignity. If we can take the higher road now, it might save us from pain and regret later.
(Moon trine Jupiter in Libra 6:19 a.m. EDT. Moon sextile Saturn 9:46 p.m.)

On April 29th, 2015, Ben Gibbard and Nick Harmer of Death Cab for Cutie met with PG in Nashville's historic Ryman to talk short-scale Fenders and Acme Silvertones.
Ben Gibbard tours with four 1970s Fender Mustangs with solid maple necks. (He likes their comfy 24" scale.) The Mustangs have had their pickup switches and tone controls removed, and a single volume knob controls both pickups. Tech Jesse Quitslund also replaced the tremolo springs with bolts, locking down the floating tailpiece.
Gibbard has two Acme Silvertone amp heads onstage (one is a backup). Jesse Quitslund made these overbuilt versions of the classic Danelectro/Sears Silvertone 1484 circuit in 2008.
Gibbard is an old-school stomper. His signal runs into a ZVEX Super Duper 2 in 1, then to a Voodoo Labs Pedal Switcher that loops to a Boss TU-2 tuner, EHX Micro POG, MXR Stereo Chorus, ZVEX Box of Rocks, Eventide TimeFactor delay, and an Eventide Space reverb. All reside on a Quitslund-made pedalboard with power supplies, a tuner, an acoustic DI, and a power strip.A Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 2supplies the juice.
Since 2007 Harmer has toured with three Lakland P-style basses, all with maple necks and fretboards. The Lakelands feature 5% overwound Lollar pickups and are strung daily with D'Addario XL 50-105 strings.
From the pedals the bass signal goes to a Summit Audio TD-100 Instrument Preamp and Tube Direct Box, then to an Ashdown EVO II 500 head.
Everything runs into Harmer's Fender 2x15 cabinet.
Harmer uses a simple pedalboard with a Boss TU-2, ProCo Rat Duecetone, Boss FRV-1 '63 Fender Reverb pedal, and a Maxon AD999 analog delay, all supplied by aVoodoo Labs Pedal Power 2.
When Gibbard wants a softer, gentler tone, he goes with one of two 2008 Gibson J-45s with B-Band pickup systems.
Special thanks to tech Jesse Quitslund, the man behind Acme Instruments.

In my past post on my Assignment of Temporary Expert I wrote about my research on the Systems around superfood. I was aiming to find a definition and gain understanding on the subject to find a focus that I could translate to my Field Guide – the outcome requested by our teacher as the result of those 4 weeks of work with our random topic.
A Field Guide is a book designed to help the reader identify wildlife or other objects of usually natural occurrence. It is generally designed to be brought into the 'field' or local area where such objects exist to help distinguish between similar objects. It will typically include a description of the objects covered, together with paintings or photographs and an index.
After having that
The field research
Therefore, I decided to to my field research on Superfoods to start brainstorming about my Field Guide concept. So, since we are in New York and i don't really think I could go into the forest to find Açai berries, on my way to ITP I stopped at 2nd ave station to go to the Houston/2nd ave Whole Foods in Manhattan.
I arrived to the supermarket and asked a Whole Foods employee for the "Superfoods" section, not even sure if that existed. But it did. He kindly gave me the directions to this specific aisle, that is a section closer to pills, vitamins and supplements than to actual food, and I took a look at the shelf.
I took some pictures, and noticed the irony of researching about superfoods in the supermarket. The idea of having a section about it, a section full of super processed superfoods powders. The irony of seeing the "exoticism"around those plants and fruits that come from different places on the world, to end up as super marketed made up superfoods. Because as we saw before, superfood is a pure marketing concept. And this was crystal clear when you looked to that shelf – at least to me. I wondered about the impact that the trendy boom of superfoods made to Açaí berry producers, Chia, Moringa plantations.
At the end of my observation, I realized if wouldn't it be interesting if there was actually a field guide to the supermarket where we could analyze the origin and process of the items.
By process and origin I don't mean only what was the physical route, how much energy and work were made to have it there, but, besides that, and in this case I think even more relevant, how the cultural and historical process of our relationship as humans attached to this specific nutrition resource was developed so it would end up in our shelves, with this labels, and what is the social impact of that with this megalomaniac market oriented relationship we have with it today.
Organizing my thoughts
I printed the picture that I took and started to identify the main plants and foods that appeared.
Also, I decided to play with the idea of juxtaposing a map on top of the shelf and therefore also printed a map to start researching and playing with the origins of those superfoods.
Finally, I did a rough mock up of my idea for the field guide and started gathering some references.
I still need to draw a better mock up before I start actually designing it.

Aww Snap, Do I Got The Power?
First of all, thanks to all that came by to comment about "The Baby Makes Three" story........What will I do? Honestly, the Mack in me says bang the preg puss out, but Rob (My Inner Me) says keep it trucking. I'm sure I'll revisit this in the future.
But here's my thought for the day.
I definitely need the fellas input because I think that this may be a male issue.
Ladies, if this is something that is not gender specific, please by all means, feel free to comment. Hell, comment anyways!
At what age do you realize that you have the power? In the sense of talking to women, and having a way with the opposite sex? I'm asking because it's finally starting to hit me at the prime age of 27.333333333333 (lol)......
They say an athlete begins his prime around 25 to 29. If you look at your favorite baseball, basketball, and football players of today, most of them fall in this age bracket, and statistically their numbers will coincide. MJ was 28 when he won his first championship in 1991. Kobe Bryant was 27 during this past season, in which had his highest points per game average of his career. Allen Iverson had just turned 26 when he led the Sixers to the NBA Finals in 2001. Alex Rodriguez of the NY Yankees was 25 when he signed his 10 year/250 mil contract in 2000 with the Texas Rangers. Ray Lewis of the B-More Ravens was 25 when he won his first NFL Defensive Player of the Year award in 2000 , and Brian Urlacher of my Chicago Bears was 27 when he won the same award last year.
Can this logic also be applied when it comes to talking and dealing with women? After a few years of being in the "game" and making mistakes, learning from them and maturing, does a man figure out what he's capable of and applying it with fervor when he's on the "playing field"? Like any good ball player, I knew that I had it in me (started noticing at 15), at least that's what I would always tell myself. Instead of studying and breaking down game tape, I studied movies and watched my favorite actors and try to listen with a keen ear to what women like. Now of course, I'm not perfect and will fuck up from time to time (more times than not, lol), but that's no different than your favorite superstar player missing a shot at the buzzer or fumbling the football at the goal line.
In the past, I've been afraid to step to the plate for fear of striking out, but when I think about it, I hardly ever strike out. I may ground out (she's spoken for), may only get a single (her number), or a double (date), or a triple (affection, kissing), or I may even hit a home run (obvious, LOL). But the overall success rate is quite well.
Back to the question: Fellas, is this something that you realize from within at an early age (teens, early 20's) , or something you recognize in your later 20's, or maybe some of you all never realize it at all...........
My next at-bat is coming up. I'm in my prime. I'm going to enjoy this.
Thanks for Reading,
Robert Mack

Automation depends on machines to execute functions that were typically performed manually in the past. Automation systems include feedback and sensory programs that completely eliminate the need for a human operator. An automation system is an independent machine system that is able to perform a task without assistance from humans.
Automation systems have been integrated into a wide variety of industries and many individuals depend greatly on these systems in their daily life. Automated systems help us manage our finances, our phone calls and our computers. Automated systems are responsible for an assortment of different functions. Depending on the exact function that it performs, one of several different tools might be responsible for an automated system including:
- An artificial neural network
- A distributed control system
- A human machine interface
- A supervisory control and data acquisition
- A programmable logic controller
An artificial neural network is a mathematical or computational model whose rhythms mimic those of biological neurons. The structure of the network is able to change based upon the internal or external exchange of information throughout the network itself. Artificial neural networks are typically used to identify patterns in data as well as to classify relationships.
A distributed control system has separate controls throughout the entire system.
"Distributed Control System
A distributed control system is one in which there are separate controls throughout the system. The controls are not centrally located, but tend to be spread out depending on which region of the system needs monitoring—each control is connected to the others in a communication network. These kinds of systems are typically used in manufacturing processes, especially when the action or production is continuous. The controllers can be specified for a given process, and manipulated to enhance or monitor machine performance. Traffic lights are usually controlled by distributed control systems, and they can also be applied in oil refining and central station power generation.
Human Machine Interface
Commonly referred to as a user interface, a human machine interface system depends on human interaction with the system in order to function. A user will provide input, and the system in turn will produce output that coincides with the user's intent. In order for this to work, users must have access to the system and a means by which to manipulate it. ATMs, for example, are designed so users can easily dictate what the system is supposed to do while enabling it to easily respond and provide the appropriate results. Buttons that read withdrawal or make a deposit provide the user with any easy way to trigger a chain of commands within the internal system. The desired result, either the intake of a deposit or the ejection of cash, can then be achieved.
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
A supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA) is a larger, industrial control network that is often comprised of smaller sub-systems, including human machine interface systems connected to remote terminal units, which work to translate sensor signals into comprehensible data. These systems can work together to control an entire manufacturing site, or even an entire region by connecting several different manufacturing plants. SCADA systems bear a high resemblance to distributed control systems, and at times it may be difficult to differentiate between the two. The key difference lies in what they ultimately do—SCADA systems do not control each process in real time, rather they coordinate processes. Generally speaking, however, the two systems are highly similar and are often used in identical applications.
Programmable Logic Controllers
Programmable logic controllers are real time systems, meaning there is a set deadline and timeframe in which the desired result must be achieved. The PLC system is essentially a computer that controls manufacturing machines in an industrial production line, so it has multiple capabilities, such as varied temperature ranges and input and output settings, as well as the ability to weather dust and other unfavorable conditions. Programmable logic controllers can be used to program a variety of day-to-day applications, such as amusement park rides."
