![]() ![]() Hosted by Sheila at One Person’s Journey through a World of Books. I cannot recommend this book highly enough, so great is its awesomeness. I’ve just loaned it to my Mam as I’m certain she’ll love it too. This instantly became an all-time favourite of mine which I will read again and again. Brom is an artist of many talents and I adore his work. This stunning take on the Peter Pan story blew me away with both its words and pictures. Without a doubt, my absolute favourite book of the year was The Child Thief by Brom. I was also heartily disappointed by Edgar Allan Poe when I read his works for the month of November as a personal challenge. ![]() John Lawrence – The Secret Five and the Stunt Nun Legacy.Stieg Larsson – The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.Well, I abandoned eight books unfinished this year, but the most disappointing of those were: It’s just so packed full of common sense advice presented in a fun way – a must for all fans of Jane Austen (especially if they’re single!). I picked up a hardback copy in a pound shop and loved every second of it. Jane Austen’s Guide to Dating was a complete surprise to me. It certainly didn’t disappoint and has become a new favourite of mine that I know I’ll re-read at some point in the future. Gone With the Wind was a book I’d never read but had planned to for as long as I can remember. The Wind in the Willows is an old childhood favourite which I re-read for a reading circle and enjoyed every bit as much as I did when I was a kid. Lauren Henderson – Jane Austen’s Guide To Dating.Kenneth Grahame – The Wind in the Willows.There have been four books I’ve rated 5/5 this year:

In conversations with IBM's HR leaders, Ben Eubanks, SHRM-SCP, principal analyst at Lighthouse Research & Advisory, a human capital research and advisory services firm, said they told him they believe they're making progress with their use of AI tools. It's more about talent development than an annual appraisal," Louissaint said. "We've moved from an annual performance rating to a coaching framework where we give employees feedback on an ongoing basis and an annual assessment on five dimensions, which are skills, business results, responsibility to others, client success and innovation. ![]() Because of this, IBM has scrapped the annual performance review in favor of assessing skills growth among employees on a quarterly basis. In fact, IBM's AI deployments have revealed the inadequacies of manager reviews, which are often subjective and don't give an accurate picture of the employee, Louissaint said. Total savings are calculated by tallying the expenses IBM avoided in sourcing and recruiting for new talent, hiring and training new employees, as well as the costs associated with the value of workers who would have likely left the company because they didn't envision career advancement there. Citizens Bank uses Career Coach for its own employees to suggest new jobs and recommend training, videos to watch and materials to read based on employees' career interests.Īccording to IBM's estimates, tools like CogniPay, Blue Matching and Career Coach saved the company more than $100 million last year alone. The analysis also includes internal forecasted demand for their expertise and voluntary attrition of employees with the same skills.Īs a result of managers acting on CogniPay recommendations, IBM estimates attrition has been reduced by 50 percent.ĪI and IBM's Watson analytics are also being used to power Myca, the virtual career advisor behind the company's Watson Career Coach, an IBM program that helps employees identify skills gaps. So far 1,500 IBM employees have shifted to new jobs internally.Īnother AI-supported program called CogniPay helps managers make better compensation decisions by evaluating data on performance, what other employers pay for similar jobs, and what the demand is for similar skills. Once an employee opts in to the service, they receive weekly notifications to view potential job matches. Louissaint said approximately 50,000 IBM employees are enrolled in the company's Blue Matching program, which uses predictive analytics to generate a list of jobs currently available based on an employee's location, pay grade, job role, experience and other factors. Since company executives believe AI and automation will change all jobs in some way in the next five to 10 years, the company is using the technology to harness information about IBM's workforce. "We have modernized the way in which we think about jobs," Louissaint said. To be successful, Louissaint said the HR department is partnering with business divisions across IBM to assess what skills will be needed, who has the expertise among the company's current pool of employees, how many employees with certain skills will be required and who needs to be trained to close the skills gap. Watson is IBM's technology suite of AI services, applications and tools. "Our biggest opportunity area as we look forward is growing skills and skills management," said Obed Louissaint, vice president of talent, Watson health & employee experience at IBM. Yet whether it sheds employees or adds more (company officials can't say how many workers will be added when IBM finalizes its $33 billion acquisition of open-source software firm Red Hat), the focus is on improving employee expertise. IBM's workforce shrunk from 426,751 employees in 2010 to approximately 350,000 today. The importance of aligning the skills it will need to accomplish its goals to its business strategy can't be understated. The company is in the process of recreating its business from manufacturing computer chips and selling low-end hardware to investing in cloud computing, technology services and cognitive solutions, and wants to boost its talent pool to support that shift. ![]() IBM has spent the last five years using its artificial intelligence tools to design HR initiatives that evaluate employees and prepare them for internal mobility and career advancement. ![]() When true, users can not store their passwords in plain text in LDAP property nameĪ semicolon separated DAV server allow list.

The next step is to count the cash in the petty cash box and subtract that amount from the float. Here, the float, or initial balance, is $500. They set up a petty cash fund of $500, which can be used to buy supplies, gas for company trucks, and snacks for the crew. Here are the basic steps of the reconciliation process:Īs an example, we’ll walk through the month-end reconciliation for ABC Plumbers. ![]() The basic idea is to reconcile the total disbursements with the amount of cash remaining in the fund, and to ensure that the disbursements all fall within the approved uses for the fund. How do you perform a petty cash reconciliation? If you’re just setting up your petty cash fund, you’ll want to read this post on how to manage that fund. Knowing how to reconcile petty cash is a crucial component of any petty cash management system. At many companies, the petty cash custodian - while obviously being trustworthy enough for the responsibility - is not an accountant or bookkeeper by training, and so that person may make mistakes. ![]() Part of the task is also ensuring that the records for disbursements are being kept correctly. This helps to make sure that the cash was used for legitimate, business-related expenses. Reconciling petty cash is a formal review of the purchases made with a company’s petty cash fund and comparing those purchases with the cash balance in the petty cash fund. ![]() The best way to do that is by performing regular petty cash reconciliations. But since cash is very easy to steal or misuse, keeping an eye on it is essential. It’s certainly much easier than filling out an expense report and waiting for the next billing cycle to get reimbursed, especially when it’s a small amount of money. Debit cards and smartphones are quickly becoming the favorite ways for the younger generations to pay for things, but even so, many small businesses find that maintaining a petty cash fund for small purchases still makes sense. ![]() You can follow above instructions to install HD Video Player All Format for PC with any of the Android emulators available.

Hot Reload is a unique approach to editing your code while debugging. It's now possible to use Hot Reload (first introduced in VS 2019) to update your app builds in. This should make C++ programming easier in the IDE’s new release with better IntelliSense functionality and more powerful debugging and analysis abilities. The preview notes for VS 2022 list several important improvements in the latest builds. That's the language in which Windows is written, so Windows developers should find that a welcome inclusion. VS 2022 includes the full suite of tools for C++ 20. Improved Support for the Latest Build of C++ This is all driven by Microsoft’s ongoing work to make their products natively accessible. Instead of relying on plugins or add-ons, users can modify the interface to improve visibility and organization and work better with approved extensions. Visual Studio 2019 had several features that improved overall accessibility, and VS 2022 improved and added even more accessibility features. This includes increased options to customize the look and feel of the IDE (e.g., you can match it to your Windows theme) as well as the ability to deploy a document management system that works for you. Visual Studio 2022 offers a more user-friendly and intuitive coding environment. ![]() The core debugger simplifies decompiling code by providing an easier-to-read step-by-step, contingent breakpoint, and flame charts to assist programmers in locating issues with both local and remote code. In the current preview mode, this works only with C# but Microsoft will be adding additional languages as the official release date approaches. Intellicode in VS 2022 can fill in whole lines of code using an improved understanding of coding context. The 2022 release promises the following additional enhancements: 1.

Shellfish contaminated with marine biotoxins can cause amnesic shellfish poisoning, diarrhetic shellfish poisoning and paralytic shellfish poisoning. The wrong shellfish can make people sick in some pretty wild ways, which is why seafood processors exercise extreme caution in testing them for food safety. Since we’re food safety lovers here at Neogen, we have one first thought when we look at the list: What are the biggest food safety topics tied to each of these foods? Every food item has its own unique challenges for producers, processors and consumers alike, and some of them may surprise you. The new icons vary widely, from prosthetic arms giving thumbs-up, a cuddly otter and a pair of men’s briefs, but nine of them depict some tasty foods we eat every day. The list includes 230 changes, including new icons and updates to preexisting ones. The Unicode Consortium, a nonprofit tech organization that coordinates the coding of emojis, text and other symbols between all computers and devices, announced 2019’s new emoji list last month.
