Hospitality wages rise
Hospitality wages have risen after months of deflation, according to new research by hospitality software provider Fourth. The average hourly pay of workers over 25 in the UK fell significantly from £8.55 in June to £8.18 in November, before plateauing at £8.16 in December and rising to £8.38 in January.
It is the first time wages have decreased for such a prolonged period since Fourth started tracking salaries in 2015. Since then, the hourly pay of workers has been steadily rising ahead of the annual incremental increases, the latest of which will increase the hourly rate for over-25s to £8.21 in April.
Pubs and restaurants primarily drove wage deflation. Between June and December, the average hourly rates of workers in the pub sector decreased 3.5%, while the restaurant sector experienced a 4.5% fall. During the same period, wages in the quick service restaurant sector, in which 61% of workers are from outside the UK, remained relatively constant, at £9.18. British workers received the largest cut in hourly rates, falling 5% from £8.04 in June to £7.65 in November. During the same time period, workers from the rest of world experienced a 2% decrease to £8.68, while EU workers experienced a decrease of 3.3% to £8.22. The hourly wages of front-of-house workers fell from £8.21 in June to £7.68 in November. Those working back-of-house experienced a 4% decrease in hourly wages, falling to £8.53 during the same period. The fall was predominantly driven by over-25s, with a fall in hourly rate of 5% between June and November compared with a fall of 2.5% for those aged 21 to 25. The rate for those aged 18 to 21 and under-18s both remained broadly flat during the same period.
Mike Shipley, analytics and insight solutions director at Fourth, said: "Since we started tracking the average hourly rate, the actual rate has always been tracking significantly ahead of the incremental legislative changes to the National Living Wage rate. For the first time, the current hourly rate is broadly in line with the new rate due to come into force this April, so it will be interesting to see how the actual figure moves between now and then."

Irrational Games shutdown exposes disappointing industry trend
By Adam Paris | Feb. 25, 2014
When Irrational Games shut its door last week, the industry lost a prominent developer that placed a strict focus on narrative. While "Bioshock Infinite" may not have been the savior everyone hoped it might be, it shipped over four million copies and if nothing else, created a worthwhile dialogue about the nature of sustaining a compelling narrative within the context of a typical AAA shooter.

Decoding HBO's 'True Detective'
By Callie Kollenbroich | Feb. 23, 2014
It was a night like any other. I wrapped myself in a blanket burrito, took to the television and traversed the channels until I happened upon HBO's latest endeavor—an eight-episode collection called "True Detective." Its menacing black claws had me ensnared by the end of the first episode and with each passing week, they dig deeper and deeper into my psyche. If I could go back in time, maybe I wouldn't have chosen this path—alas, there is no turning back.

Students on college campuses have relied on the same crop of multiplayer games to provide enjoyment for what seems like forever now. "Mario Kart," "Mario Party" and various sports games are always excellent staples, but there's been a movement afoot in the PC space to create a greater emphasis on local couch co-op. Rather than battling some folks around the world in "Halo", why not take a trip to yesteryear and enjoy rubbing defeat in your buddies' faces while they sit next to you.

Column: NBA All Star game format needs to change
The National Basketball Association All-Star game is boring. Even a big comeback and close game couldn't save the event from playing to a stereotype of the NBA as a league high on star power but low on real competition. No one believes that when you bring together the NBA's best players, 318 total points scored is a natural result.

Pilot season offers viewers chance to decide which shows make it big
By Callie Kollenbroich and Meg Detrie | Feb. 16, 2014
The future of television is upon us. Well, at least for those of us with Wi-Fi. The relative ubiquity of the Internet and the increasing popularity of streaming technologies have prompted some of our favorite Internet startups to begin dabbling in the production of their own original series. Netflix, previously an exclusive online distribution service, proved itself as a competitive force in the arena of original programming this past year after the release of a few critically acclaimed series—namely "House of Cards" and "Orange Is the New Black." Their success has not gone unnoticed and we now find ourselves in the midst of a digital arms race, with companies like YouTube, Hulu, Yahoo, Amazon and a handful of others all vying for a piece of the viewership pie.

So, lately I've been trying to gain an understanding of avant-garde films, seeing that I know basically nothing about them.

'Flappy Bird' shutdown exposes the losing side of indie game development
"Flappy Bird" is dead. The simplistic app that dominated the cultural zeitgeist this past week seems to have perished more quickly than most of my pitiful attempts at its egregiously difficult gameplay. Countless articles were published chronicling the insightful commentary "Flappy Bird's" success provided for an industry that generally succeeds on stagnation.

'American Horror Story' antics scare away viewers
By Callie Kollenbroich | Feb. 9, 2014
January has come and gone. Its passing marks the end of yet another season of the show we love to hate: "American Horror Story." Let me preface this by admitting I was once a fan of its hijinks. The first season had me teetering on obsession. While other, more proactive students focused on expanding their intelligence, I was engrossed in the fictional world of haunted houses, gruesome murders and unrelenting mystery. Sure, I recognized its flair for the ridiculous—at times it resembled a trip through the halls of a bad haunted house, simultaneously inducing both frights and laughter. But I didn't care—it was wildly entertaining.

It can't be much of a surprise that Glitterbeat would eventually assemble a collection of dubs and versions of songs by our artists. Our very first release in the spring of 2013 was a 500-piece limited edition 12" where two tracks from the Malian Afro-rock newcomer Ben Zabo were given an inspired dub treatment by legendary Berlin producer Mark Ernestus (Rhythm & Sound, Jeri Jeri). Those two tracks are included here as well as eight other reinterpretations from our growing catalog.
Having had the privilege of working with each of the Malian artists remixed for this album (Tamikrest, Ben Zabo, Samba Toure, Aminata Wassidje Traore & Lobi Traore) we can safely say that this project will not seem as strange to them as one might assume. In contemporary Malian music, reggae plays a fundamental role and nearly every electric based band we have encountered in Bamako and beyond incorporates at least some reggae elements into their sound. Also the rapid, ubiquitous rise of Hip Hop in Mali has brought samples, remixes and programming into the direct orbit of the country's urban musicians. And in the dusty, open lots of Bamako's sprawling neighborhoods, the music that one most frequently encounters being performed is Balani, a sort of Malian variant of dancehall, where laptop electronic beats and declamatory "toasting" are combined with samples of balafons and other traditional instruments. Balani is by definition a remix-generated music.
Bringing together the different mixers with the songs of the original artists was an exciting process. Our choices of who to invite rose intuitively out our record collections and our personal networks and almost every mixer that we approached thankfully accepted the invitation.
Mark Ernestus was asked to fashion our original 12" not only because of our deep love for his work with the abstract dub duo Rhythm & Sound but also because of his albums in collaboration with Jeri Jeri, the Senegalese sabar group. Dubmaster Dennis Bovell's work with Linton Kwesi Johnson, The Pop Group and Orange Juice has been a big part of our personal soundtracks for more than thirty years. His recent dub album, Mek It Run, is a killer. We were introduced to the South African Nozinja via his infectious Shangaan Electro productions. Honest Jons released an excellent remix album (Shangaan Shake) of his tracks and we thought it fitting that he join our remix dialogue. We stumbled upon the British-Ghanaian performance, visual and musical artist Larry Achiampong's self-released LP More Mogya and were excited by its mashup of palm wine and high life samples with Hip Hop beats. We have been fans of Mark Stewart all the way back to his days in the seminal post-punk band The Pop Group, but it was his recent dub album Exorcism of Envy that really caught our collective ear. The intricate afro-techno of Harmonious Thelonious is by definition a sort of West African music remix project, and he seemed a perfect choice to invite. Rounding off the list of mixers is our old friend Dirk Dresselhaus AKA Schneider TM whose wide-open musical obsessions have embraced indie rock, analog electronics, improvisation and field recordings. He recently journeyed to Mali and Burkina Faso to study balafon music.

Q: NAN assigned to the ng-repeat $index in Angular JS I have a hidden attribute in my HTML as
<input id="temp" type="hidden" name="country" value="{{$index + 1}}" ;>

Note that the {{$index + 1}} is the index for the ng-repeat written above the hidden tag.
Now I am trying to get the value of this temp hidden variable(trying to get the value of the index).
<script type="text/javascript" >
var tempo = document.getElementById("temp").value;
var tempi = parseInt(tempo) % 6;
console.log(tempi);
var imagepath = "img/products/coffee/coffee-"+tempi+".jpg" ;
document.getElementById("product-images").src = imagepath;
</script>

However, when I see the value assigned to the src attribute of my img tag, it is always NAN.
Note that the datatype of {{$index + 1}} is STRING.
So , I am converting it to integer and trying to do the mod operation.
Still getting NAN for the tempi variable.
Any idea where I am going wrong ?
Thank you so much.

A: You can try this:
HTML:
<input id="temp" name="country" ng-init="hiddenValue = ($index + 1)" ng-model='hiddenValue'>

JS:
<script type="text/javascript" >
    function MyCtrl($scope) {
        $scope.yourAngularFunction = funcion() {
            console.log($scope.hiddenValue);
        }
    }
</script>

Although there are actually better ways to work the general logic

Work on NorthConnex Set to Start
February 2nd, 2015 8,872 Total Views
Tollway operator Transurban expects construction of a new $2.9 billion road tunnel in Sydney's north to start early this year.
The deal to build the NorthConnex Motorway was finalised on Monday.
The nine-kilometre tolled twin tunnels linking the southern end of the M1 Pacific Motorway at Wahroonga to the Hills M2 Motorway at its existing Pennant Hills Road interchange will be owned by Transurban and its partners in the Westlink M7.
NorthConnex is expected to take 5,000 trucks a day off Pennant Hill Road, improve air quality along the road by up to 38 per cent, and reduce the accident rate by up to five times.
Motorists are expected to save up to 15 minutes in travel time by avoiding stop-start arterial roads and bypassing 21 traffic lights.
The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2019.
Construction giant Lend Lease, and its partner, French construction firm Bouygues Construction, will design and build the tunnel.
The construction cost is $2.65 billion.
Transurban and its partners have the concession to collect tolls on the new tunnel until 2048.
NorthConnex is to be wholly owned by the umbrella entity known as North West Roads Group. Transurban will own 50 per cent of the North West Roads Group.
The federal government and the NSW government will contribute about $800 million to the project.
Transurban's contribution will be $1.05 billion, which is about 50 per cent of the project funding requirement after the governments' contribution.
"The NorthConnex project is a prime example of how the public and private sectors can work together collaboratively to deliver major transport infrastructure," Transurban chief executive Scott Charlton said on Monday.
"This project has been accelerated by a decade, delivering clear benefits to the residents of Sydney well in advance of the timelines previously estimated for this project."

ANCIENT EMPIRE AND CIVILIZATION
Unification of Upper and Lower Egypt
The consolidation of the Egyptian state occurred gradually over a period spanning the later the Predynastic Period and the early First Dynasty.
The Egyptian historian Manetho (350-283 BC) states that it was King Menes who was responsible for uniting Upper and Lower Egypt and founding the First Dynasty in 3150 BC.
During his reign, Menes wage wars against the Nubians and Libyans in neighboring territories. King Menes is credited with irrigation works and with founding the capital Memphis. It was said that he was the first law-giver and that he brought civilization to Egypt.
During his rule, Egyptians are thrived. Trading with nearby countries in the Middle East appeared to have been well established.
In the late Predynastic period and the first half of the 1st dynasty, Egypt extended its influence into southern Palestine and probably Sinai and conducted campaign as far as the Second Cataract.

The Austrian Silver Philharmonic Coin is the highest minted and most well-known silver bullion from Europe, selling more than 54 million units between 2008 and 2012. Weighing exactly 1 troy ounce and composed of 99.9% silver, the coin is legal tender in Austria with a value of 1.50 Euros.
The most in-demand silver bullion in the European continent, the Austrian Silver Philharmonic Coin is a favorite of many coin collectors and investors who wish to diversify their assets. The coin's beauty and fame, and the high demand for it, make it a worthy addition to any collection or investment portfolio.
Both the Silver and Gold Austrian Philharmonics carry the same design made by Thomas Pesendorfer. The design, which remains unchanged to this day, is a tribute to the Vienna Philharmonics Orchestra. The obverse of the coin features the Great Pipe Organ from the home of the Vienna Philharmonics Orchestra, the Musikverein Concert Hall. It also bears the face value of the coin, which is 1.50 EURO, the year of issue, and the phrases REPUBLIK OSTERREICH and 1 UNZE FEINSILBER.
The reverse of the coin features an array of musical instruments including a harp, cello, bassoon, Vienna horn, flute, and violin. This side also features the phrases WIENER PHILHARMONIKER and SILBER.
The Austrian Silver Philharmonic Coin is minted by one of the oldest mints in the world, the Austrian Mint. Returning from the Crusades, Richard the Lionheart was captured and imprisoned near Vienna after he previously insulted Duke Leopold V. To secure his freedom, the English monarch paid tons of silver to Duke Leopold V, who used the precious metal to establish the Austrian Mint in 1194.
The first Austrian Philharmonics Coins debuted in 1989 and were only available as gold bullion. The value of the coins were initially tied to the value of the Austrian Shilling, which was Austria's official currency then, but this changed following the country's membership to the EU. The Austrian Silver Philharmonics was first issued in February 2008. Only 7,773,000 units were struck in the first year of minting—the lowest amount for any year in the series— but the coin proved to be a popular one. It peaked in 2011, when a total of 17,873,700 units were issued due to the growing demand for the coin.
A trusted dealer of high-quality precious metals, Goldmart has an extensive inventory of Austrian Silver Philharmonics in various states and years of issue. Our company is a member of the Certified Coin Exchange and is authorized by the PCSG and NGC. In addition to providing the best prices on the internet, Goldmart also offers free shipping and insurance on all US orders worth over $10,000 USD.

MORE Workplace Motivation and LESS Frustration...
Workplace motivation and inspiration is NOT like a college degree. You don't get it, put the diploma on the wall and say, "Done! Accomplished! On to the next thing..." It's not static. It's something that you have to focus on consistently if you want to keep it. And some days, motivation is easier to find than others, isn't it?
This video captures an extreme example of stress on the job. Maybe if someone videotaped you and your team's low workplace motivation they'd only record apathy, low energy and missed deadlines.
Whether it's extreme or subtle, low commitment on the job, is costly and frustrating to everybody, including the person who's not motivated.
Economic Cost of Low Workplace Motivation:
Each actively disengaged employee costs an average of $15,922 per year.
That's $328 billion in lost productivity divided by 20.6 million people,
per the Gallup Organization.
What do you do when you're having a bad day? And what can you do to raise yourself and your team above blatant or subtle negativity and frustration? How can you get yourself and your team out of the tangled and messy web of anger and frustration?
For workplace motivation to remain consistent, three things must be in place - direction, support, and development. Here are three actions you can take to create MORE workplace motivation and LESS frustration:
#1. Make sure EVERY employee has clear and specific direction about what success is in their role.
Studies show that leaders THINK that they have been clear about what's required for success on the job, but most employees report they are unsure or unclear about what is expected. When people feel in charge of their work and know EXACTLY what is expected, they are less frustrated.
RESOURCE TO GET BETTER AT THIS: Use my three-step Performance Dashboard Process that I demonstrate here to GIVE every employee clear direction. It's not complicated or time-consuming; you have to do it.
#2 Check-in OFTEN (formally and informally) to determine if people have the tools, resources, and support to succeed.
Whenever I conduct an opinion survey for an organization, I'm surprised by how often the most significant frustrations are easily fixable resource and process issues like computers that don't work or outdated and inefficient processes that make a person's job harder.
RESOURCE TO GET BETTER AT THIS: Use the 12 Best Employee Engagement Survey Questions and 7-Point Employee Survey Plan I share here to check-in MORE often.
#3 Provide Personal Support and Professional Development
90% of your employees do not invest or study personal and professional development materials independently. Yet, a high percentage are struggling with keeping their workplace motivation up. Cost and time limitations can make it challenging for leaders to provide ongoing support in this area.
RESOURCE TO GET BETTER AT THIS: Coaching support and team-building tune-ups.
"Life is not an easy matter... You cannot live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you a great idea which raises you above
personal misery, above weakness, above all kinds of perfidy and baseness."

Low Workplace Motivation is NOT Normal - Remember This and Take Charge!
If you and your team are frustrated and have low workplace motivation and you've started to think that that is normal. I want you to know, it's not. It's ABNORMAL. It is not anything like who you REALLY are.**
What is normal to you and your team is enthusiasm.
What is normal to you and your team is laughing a lot many times a day.
What is normal to you and your team is to feel strong, sure, confident and secure.
What is normal to you and your team is to feel so much self-confidence in your life and in your work and about who you are, that when you look at others you're always in a positive place and able to uplift others.
What is normal to you and your team is to have so much energy at the end of the day that you're looking for more good things to do.
What is normal to you and your team is to have such passion for life that when you're with other people you're eager to hear about what they're doing and how they're doing it.
What is normal to you and your team is to have so much energy at the end of the day that you're already eagerly planning tomorrow.
What is normal to you and your team is feeling disappointment that the sun goes down and enthusiastic that the sun comes up.
What is normal to you and your team is a zest for life beyond anything that most of you over 8 years old have remembered or felt in a long time.
**Edited from an Abraham-Hicks workshop.
All of THAT is what can be normal for you and your team.
Take the three actions (create clear guidelines, check-in often and provide support)and do them over and over and over again (remember - motivation is NOT like a college degree, you're never done) and you'll create a new NORMAL - high energy, enthusiasm and a more success!

This New Kind Of Rocket Is Disrupting The Space Industry
Written by Ella Alderson Posted on October 18, 2021 October 18, 2021 Less than 0 min read
With a launch scheduled in 2024, Relativity Space will have accomplished something not even SpaceX has yet been able to do. The company has managed to create a new vision for spaceflight, transforming the aerospace industry and making their rockets strong competitors for Blue Origin and SpaceX in just 6 short years. But they're also transforming spaceflight for the average person. As the company's first launch looms near, so too does the possibility that space will become affordable and accessible to more people and more nations, not just those that control a large amount of wealth.
The key to Relativity Space's success is none other than an unassuming piece of machinery: the 3D printer.
It's not, of course, just any store bought 3D printer. Their Factory of the Future houses Stargate, the world's largest 3D metal printer that uses custom metal alloys. Stargate melts metal wire one layer at a time to create carefully designed, minimalistic parts. These parts can have tens of thousands of layers, with individual sections as tall as 36 feet. The finished product retains the rough bumpy texture of 3D printed items but can be machined down to look indistinguishable from regular metal. And the texture does add 5–10% more mass to the rocket, but this doesn't put the 3D printed rockets at an aerodynamic disadvantage compared to their traditional counterparts.

In fact, there are many key advantages to 3D printing a rocket compared to traditional methods of construction. These numerous benefits are what led founders Tim Ellis and Jordan Noone — formerly from Blue Origin and SpaceX, respectively — to start their own company centered around the idea.
Among the advantages, perhaps the most impressive is the reduction in the number of parts. Where a traditional rocket can have over 100,000 individual parts, printed rockets have less than 1,000. This is 100 times fewer parts at a fraction of the cost and time. Take, for example, Relativity Space's Aeon 1 engine. A similar engine would have taken 3,000 parts to construct. Aeon 1 took only 3, and was completed in 9 days. Their rockets — Terran 1 and Terran R — have completion times of just 2 months as compared to a 2 year completion time for traditional rockets.
This iteration is the company's biggest strength. The short time it takes to go from raw material to completed product means that engineers are free to design, build, and test their parts at a rapid rate, improving something like an engine from one month to the next until they have a perfected design. New software, computer simulations, and artificial intelligence are a large part of this perfection process. Their Aeon 1 engine has, to date, completed over 500 test runs.

This brilliant use of artificial intelligence and automation means spaceflight could become 10–100 times cheaper. But there's another important factor contributing to this immense reduction in cost. It's the accomplishment Relativity Space will have managed to achieve before SpaceX — if they carry out the successful launch of their Terran R rocket in 2024.
Terran R will be fully reusable. Everything from the first and second stages, the engines, and the payload fairing can be used on multiple LEO (low Earth orbit) trips. Even SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets are only partially reusable, though SpaceX is working on releasing a fully reusable model sometime in the next few years. As compared to Terran 1 launching 3 months from now, Terran R will be much bigger, capable of a heavier payload, and will be entirely reusable.
Terran 1 (left) can launch a maximum of 2,756 lbs (1,250 kilograms) while Terran R's maximum is 44,092 lbs (20,000 kg). Terran R will be launching satellites into orbit in 2024. Image by Relativity Space.
Relativity Space's potential hasn't escaped the attention of many prominent investors. Apart from having raised $1.3 billion in investments to date, the company has also partnered with NASA and the US Air Force. However, the company's ambitions extend far beyond Earth. Relativity Space aims to help establish human colonies on Mars and to print the very first rocket on the surface of the Red Planet. 3D printed materials, being both lightweight and affordable, could become a vital technology in helping establish a new colony.
For the founders — and for all of us with dreams of traveling to the Solar System's bounty of worlds — this technologically-paved journey has always been about the human experience. It's about expanding the perspectives and possibilities of mankind. Becoming a wiser, more diverse interplanetary species will require an effort on the part of many companies and governments across the world. There is no single group of people, nor any single approach to technology, which will make our spacefaring dreams come true. 3D printed rockets are just one page in the blueprint for the stars.

How to Change Faster than the Competition
"The only sustainable competitive advantage is an organisation's ability to learn faster than the competition." But how do we do this? How does an organisation gear itself to being able to not only learn, but learn quickly? There is a strong relationship between a learning organization and an organization which has a culture of continuous […]
The Clubhouse Dilemma
Clubhouse now has more than 12.7 million users and despite still being only available for iPhone (not unlike another massive adoption phenomenon of some years ago, Instagram) and has just announced a platform for successful content creators to better monetize what they do. At the same time, it is beginning to face significant competition not only […]
Siri: Apple's Missed Opportunity
A highly critical article in The Verge, "Hey Siri, what happened?", discusses an issue many of us have been observing for some time: that Apple's home assistant is noticeably less intelligent and more limited than its competitors such as Alexa or Google Assistant. The usage test confirms it: ten years after Siri's introduction, if you […]
Understanding Korean Hyper Consumerism
The wonder drug for Korean startup growth, domestic hyper-consumerism, is pivotal in the development of the startup market and for this reason deserves a more in-depth analysis than the window dressing it normally receives. For those new to this concept, Korean hyper-consumerism is the fixation on having the nicest and newest gadgets, clothing, etc. which […]
Science Fiction Hasn't Prepared Us For Machine Learning
Science fiction did a great job preparing us for submarines and rockets. But it seems to be struggling lately. We don't know what to hope for, what to fear, or what genre we're even in. Space opera? Seems unlikely. And now that we've made it to 2021, the threat of zombie apocalypse is receding a […]
The Truth About Fairness
Our differing notions of fairness is one of the biggest causes of the divide. And yet, a better understanding of fairness may just well be the bridge that helps heal. "That's not fair!"If you're a parent, you probably hear that sentence on a regular basis. Fairness is one of those concepts that's hard-baked into us […]
Is Patriotism Actually Good?
The root of patriotism is the belief that one is part of something better than the alternative; and that this confers not only prestige but a sort of pre-determined ascendency among a chosen few. This kind of sanctimonious thinking is the kind of toxic narrative that leads to the justification of wars between patriots of […]

Although it is not completely necessary, removing the plastic keypad skeleton structure helps with the ease of removing the speaker.
Locate the speaker at the top of the phone, above the LCD display screen, as shown by the red circle.
To remove the speaker, gently place a plastic pryer tool underneath the speaker.
Carefully, lift up the pryer tool to remove the speaker from the adhesive glue connecting to the phone casing.
Note: it is preferred to slowly remove the speaker so the speaker is not flung or damaged. Easy does it.

Applying evidence into routine clinical care at a unit level: the exemplar of renal anaemia management
Martin P. Gallagher, Alan Cass, Jonathan C. Craig
Variability in implementing research evidence into clinical practice is widespread, including in the management of patients with kidney disease. There are numerous well-known barriers and facilitators to evidence implementation identified in other clinical settings and a few chronic kidney disease studies. The necessary changes to health systems that support evidence implementation take time to design, apply and to have a measurable effect. Measurement against an agreed standard is fundamental to this process. We use the example of renal anaemia management across a dialysis unit to illustrate an approach to these issues.
