HR Tech Europe: How Telekom Use Asynchronous Video Interviews To Enhance The ...
The document discusses asynchronous video interviewing and its benefits for recruiting at Deutsche Telekom AG. It describes how viasto implemented competency-based video interviews to evaluate over 5,000 applicants for 50 vacancies across 6 divisions. This allowed many evaluators to review candidates and provided a more structured and fair evaluation process.

Save a Million Dollars for Retirement
Tom gets into a recent tweet by radio personality Dave Ramsey. He claims that saving a million dollars for retirement is feasible, and in fact simple. The main message of his tweet was to save more money!
Employee alliance over employee engagement
This document presents three facts about employee engagement: 1) US companies spend $720 million annually on engagement initiatives with limited success, 2) only 32% of US workers and 13% worldwide are engaged, and 3) employers focus on intrinsic motivations that employees are ultimately responsible for themselves. It argues that the billion dollar employee engagement industry should be disrupted by replacing "engagement" with the concept of an "employee alliance", which frames the relationship as a mutually beneficial partnership where both parties take responsibility for driving workforce motivation. This alliance model shifts the focus to individual accountability for engagement rather than an employer's unrequited attempts to influence intrinsic factors.

Save Water, Save Life and Save the World
Like Leonardo said that water is the driver of nature, it proceeds life forward in the right direction and the worst part is that we never understand its importance. We are like the passenger who is sitting behind in his seat relaxing and never understand the efforts put by the driver to move the vehicle forward. But it’s time for us to understand that life can’t continue without water and we have to save it. It’s our planet, it’s our water and only we are responsible for its conservation.

Environmental issues-in-europe-ppt
The document discusses three major environmental issues in Europe: acid rain in Germany, air pollution in the United Kingdom, and the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine. Acid rain in Germany was caused by vehicle and factory emissions releasing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere. This resulted in acid rain that damaged forests and buildings and killed wildlife. Germany has taken strong action through emissions laws and alternative energy use to reduce acid rain. Air pollution in the UK was caused by coal burning and vehicle emissions, releasing smoke and smog that damaged plants, wildlife, and human health. Solutions included monitoring air quality and reducing vehicle use. Finally, the Chernobyl nuclear disaster occurred due to reactor defects and poor safety practices, contamin
Europe Environmental Issues
The major environmental concerns in Europe are air pollution, acid rain, and nuclear disasters. Air pollution is caused by vehicle emissions and factories throughout large cities like London and Berlin. Acid rain is worst in Germany due to coal burning factories and vehicle emissions. In 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine spread radiation across Europe after a power plant explosion, forcing mass evacuations. European governments and the European Union are working to address these issues through new technologies, alternative fuels, and environmental policies.

Arguing Both Sides
Tobacco Products should be banned
According to TheHealthSite.com: “One of the number one reasons that smoking tobacco products is bad for your health is because it can lead to Cancer.” (TheHealthSite.com). Not only does it cause lung cancer but it also causes cancer of the mouth, nose, larynx (voice box), trachea, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, kidneys, bladder, cervix, bone marrow and blood. A lot of the chemicals in the cigarette are known to be carcinogenic or cancer causing. When combining the chemicals with heat and smoke it can lead to mutations in your cells making them multiply in an uncontrollable manner causing cancer. Almost half a million Americans per year die from the use of cigarettes and we need to make a solution to this problem. Not only does it cause cancer but it just overall destroys your health and your body. It makes your bones brittle, it stains your teeth, causes bad breath and can even make you go blind.
Many adults are affected by the use of tobacco but I think the group that is in the most danger is the youth. The use of E-cigs has become quite popular to the youth. All these vape pens and devices are easy to obtain and they have a lot of fruity flavors to lure in youth. A strawberry vape pen sounds a lot more appealing than a pack of cigarettes. Even though this may be true the juul or vape device is probably worse for you due to the fact that you can continuously be hitting it and lose track of how long you hit it. I think that these devices are misleading because it gives you the illusion that you are being healthier but in reality, you are smoking the same or even more than you would if you were just smoking cigs.
Smoking should be banned because it causes disasters. According to History&Headlines: “Smokers are 7 times more likely to have a house fire than non-smokers. About 1000 Americans die each year from smoking related home fires. The NFPA says smoking causes 90,000 fires per year in the US, and that 90% of wildfires in the US are caused by smoking (History&Headlines). Also, a lot of people that smoke tend to toss their cigs on the ground. When I walk around I see so many cigs on the ground I can see why smokers are 7 times more likely to have a house fire.
Tobacco Products Shouldn’t Be Banned
According to History&Headlines: “46.6 million Americans smoke and that isn’t including the chewing tobacco” (History&Headlines). Millions of people use tobacco as an escape or as a stress reliever. You cannot just simply ban something that some many Americans already rely on because then there would be chaos. Society accepts that adults can decide whether or not to harm themselves to some extent, so long as they do not harm others. Passive smokers do choose to breathe in others smoke. If they don’t want to smoke passively, they do not need to go to places where smoking is allowed. There is no reason that smoking should be .

Public Opinion Landscape: Economy - 5.12.15
The document provides an overview of recent public opinion polling data related to the U.S. economy. Several key findings are highlighted:
- Most economic indicators have improved over the last year, but a plurality believe the economy will remain the same in the coming year. Americans credit consumers and businesses more than President Obama for economic improvements.
- While views of the economy are slightly better than last year, most still feel the nation is headed on the wrong track. Gas prices heavily influence family finances.
- Opinions on trade are mixed, though a majority see opportunities over threats. However, Americans are unsure if trade benefits outweigh costs. Most support recent trade agreements but some Western nations are less optimistic.

assignment of statistics 2.pdf
This document provides an introduction to statistics. It discusses descriptive statistics, which summarize and describe data, versus inferential statistics, which make generalizations about a population based on a sample. Descriptive statistics include measures like percentages, averages, and tables to characterize data. Inferential statistics are used to compare treatment groups and determine whether observed differences could occur by chance or are likely due to the treatments. The document provides examples of statistics encountered in various fields and emphasizes the importance of understanding statistics to evaluate claims critically.
Who is to Blame
The document discusses the challenges independent voters face in deciding who to blame for various economic and social issues. It notes that independent voters will decide the next election outcomes. While the left and right each blame the other side, the reality is more complex. The document examines data on economic success globally and finds that some of the conservative Heritage Foundation's assumptions, like the idea that higher government spending or taxes weaken economies, are flawed. Government spending as a percent of GDP actually correlates positively with higher per capita GDP. Other factors beyond those in the Heritage Foundation's index also influence economic success and weakness among nations.

Joe Brock is a minority shareholder in Big Corporation who is unhappy with the decisions of Mark Jones, a minority shareholder in a position of management. As a minority shareholder, Joe has limited rights to challenge authority or control decisions. Minority shareholders only have protection from oppression by majority shareholders through fiduciary duties or derivative lawsuits if the majority acts in their own interests rather than the corporation. Joe's best options may be to file a derivative lawsuit or sell his shares if he is truly dissatisfied with the company's direction.

Teaching Persuasive Writing In The Classroom, Grades
The industrial revolution and imperialism were closely linked in the 18th-19th centuries. As European countries industrialized, they sought new markets and resources to fuel further industrialization. Advances in manufacturing and weaponry allowed Europeans to colonize much of Asia and Africa. Countries exploited local resources and exported manufactured goods, boosting their economies. Superior European arms also helped subdue native populations, enabling further imperial expansion. The industrial revolution thus drove and enabled the new wave of global imperialism during this era.

Modern policy making arose in the 20th century as a series of techniques to optimise a simple system, like a machine. There are now signs that 21st century policy makers are starting to view societies and economies as a complex system instead: one of them is the adoption of network modelling by senior decision makers.
The presentation looks at some of the emerging consequences of this new world view for public policies, including a new set of policy tools for smart swarms of citizens. I conclude by trying to paint a big picture of the shift in modern policy making and the role of the state.

The document provides an overview of the seniors care market globally and in specific regions and countries. It notes that the global population is aging significantly, with seniors expected to account for over 20% of the population in Western countries by 2040. This aging population prefers aging in place with independence, aided by emerging technologies. The healthcare industry is shifting to support this trend through telemedicine, wearable devices, and migration of care outside hospitals. Emerging markets like the BRICS countries present major opportunities in this sector due to their large populations and economic growth.

It emphasizes voluntary national reporting and highlights several key aspects: member states are guided by principles of country ownership and leadership; reporting involves identifying challenges and responses through cooperation; and the UN provides support through capacity building and multilateral frameworks. Progress is reviewed in two-year cycles at the High-Level Political Forum to facilitate continued SDG implementation through 2030.
Gender concerns in sustainable development
This document discusses gender concerns in sustainable development. It defines gender as the socially constructed roles, responsibilities and power relations between men and women. Looking at development through a gender lens means assessing how infrastructure and services meet the different needs of males and females. Gender equity is essential for achieving environmental protection, economic well-being and social equity - the three pillars of sustainable development. The document also examines why focusing on gender promotes more effective and sustainable development by engaging both halves of the population. It outlines some key gender dimensions and challenges in areas like education, work, health and human rights.

m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge. The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition. The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.

The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.
