Even more disconcertingly the historical fault lines, Muslims versus Hindus, Savarnas vs non- Savarnas, Non-tribals vs the tribals, Ram vs Durga have resurfaced.

Looking for DECORATIVE WALL PEBBLES STONE?Is there a concern about recruiters ability to take notes/take accurate notes during a live call? Why would hiring leads need a chance to watch &amp; review? Is it a lack of trust in the recruiter's report or a "just to confirm" type of scenario? What's the problem that your company is trying to solve with this change?

If I were a candidate, I'd be a little off-put by my interview being recorded. It just feels a little creepy to me. 

If your company is trying to solve an issue, I would raise the question about if there's a better way to solve the problem (training for recruiters/hiring leads/both). If they're just trying this out because it sounds better, I would advise them not to try and fix a process that isn't broken.Q: MapQuest API - Insight from users I need to be able to extract a list of states the route passes through. Is there any functionality within the api that will provide this information?
e.g. A route that crosses 6 states from start point to end point. Get list of states. Preferably in order of crossing.
I'm not looking for code help. I've searched through the api and google with no results.

A: There is no function in the MapQuest directions api that returns a list of states for a route. But if the stateBoundaryDisplay parameter is set to true, the response will contain details like, "Crossing into Nebraska", in the maneuver text. The manuevers will be in the correct order.
Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum and Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong, who made the plea on behalf of his colleagues, said the north and the entire country would benefit immensely from their wealth of experience, resources and connections towards supporting development initiatives in the region and the nation as a whole.
According to a statement by his Director of Press, Dr. Makut Macham, Lalong, who spoke while delivering a keynote address at the 2019 Annual Convention of the Zumunta Association (an umbrella body of Nigerians from 19 northern states) in Minnesota, United States of America, said unless sons and daughters of the region stepped in to assist in finding solutions to the region’s challenges, it would take a longer time to achieve results.
He noted that the situation where youths constitute about 60 per cent of Nigeria’s population, with about 40 per cent of them unemployed, does not augur well for the nation’s security and development.
He said most of the youths were easy targets for criminals who take advantage of them to perpetrate crimes and foster social instability.
Lalong said since most of them were unemployed, such talents and energy were either wasted or being channelled into negative and unproductive engagements with significant, unpalatable consequences for the country.
“This is more pronounced in the north where security crises occasioned by Boko Haram terrorists, kidnappings, cattle rustling, banditry and herdsmen/farmers clashes have come to dominate our lives,” he said.
The governor said the Northern Governor’s Forum had resolved to synergise and pursue policies and strategies that will tackle the challenges of insecurity faced by the region and promote peaceful coexistence.
He, however, assured them that the Buhari-led APC government and the various administrations in the North have put in place programmes, such as N-POWER, to engage the youths through entrepreneurial activities and job opportunities.
Making specific reference to Plateau State, Lalong told the Zumunta Convention that his administration had worked with all stakeholders to restore peace, adding that the next priority was to industrialise the state and create wealth.
He explained that his administration had been able to train and empower thousands of youths with the support of the Industrial Training Fund, ITF, and Plateau State Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency, PLASMIDA, to make them self-reliant.
A week after the Greek elections, the dust is beginning to settle in Athens. Scenes of jubilation have given way to the formation of government, which in turn has begun to implement a radical unwinding of the austerity policies of the previous regime. The opening salvos over debt restructuring have been exchanged, while markets look nervously on.
The ‘Greek question’ of how the country tackles its debts, how that impacts on the future of Europe...

The holiday bonus is carrying a lot more weight this year. With financial concerns at an all-time high, many employees may find themselves eager to receive an additional monetary gift more than ever this holiday season. And while WorkNest found that nearly a third (30%) of employers are planning on giving staff one-off bonuses, this still leaves a majority of companies who either do not have the means to offer one or have not considered it.
Gift card and handwritten note – it does not have to be a high dollar value, but it will still help leaders convey appreciation for their teams. A small Starbucks gift card and an accompanying, individualized note can easily put a smile on someone’s face, especially when they treat themselves to a holiday beverage.
Or even just a card – if the budget is very tight, even a heart-felt card to each member of staff helps to show the appreciation being held for them. Taking the time to write each one and add in a unique detail will demonstrate how well a manager knows their employees and will make them feel seen and valued.
Get creative– Leverage your creativity and gift something handmade to your employees this holiday season. If you are a business that operates remotely, use your design skills by putting together fun, personalized backgrounds for each team member. Use the background to showcase positive feedback or accomplishments highlighting employees’ most impactful achievements throughout the year. Handmade gifts are one of the best ways to show gratitude for your team. The time dedicated to each individual’s gift speaks volumes about your commitment and appreciation.
Virtual holiday party – if the budget for an end of year staff party is tight, then why not consider hosting it online? Encourage those that wish to attend to slip on a quirky jumper or ugly sweater, change their Zoom or Teams background to something from their festive beliefs and host a virtual game of Jeopardy or Who Wants to be a Millionaire? to get everyone involved. Check out our tips and tricks for hosting a fun and appropriate holiday staff party here!
Host an awards ceremony – Take a new twist on things. A team awards ceremony is a great activity that can be done in person or online. To coincide with awards season, why not set up your own mock red carpet? Whether you deck out with a buffet and drinks or just keep it simple, this is an innovative way of showing gratitude to your team and gives you the opportunity to have a good laugh as a team with fun awards!
Or, if you do have more of a budget…there are a variety of things that can be offered in exchange of a monetary bonus that can prove to be more thoughtful and sincere, while still being relatively budget friendly. For example, planning an activity to do together, such as a curated beer/wine tasting (in person or virtual!) or something more physical (bowling, escape room). And, if you are a remote company, there are plenty of virtual experiences that everyone can take part in – this could be anything from a virtual cooking class to an interactive online murder mystery party.
Make it meaningful – Those looking to give back to the community whilst providing a cheery team building experience this season should consider stepping away from the office and volunteering together. Employees can appreciate the time away knowing it’s for a meaningful cause. Another idea is using a service like Packed with Purpose, which allows employees to curate their own gift box full of a variety of goodies while supporting a variety of social and environmental causes. So, while the gift is thoughtful and individual, it is also having a positive social impact. Demonstrating the company’s alignment with personal values is becoming more attractive to talent, especially across the younger generations in the workforce. Something as simple as making a donation to a charitable organization of an employee’s choosing can go a long way, as it shows how important their social values are to you as an employer. Opting for these more meaningful gifts that give back is an excellent way for companies to demonstrate the investment that they have in their employee’s social values.
It’s all about the messaging. As with any reward or recognition, the communication which accompanies the gift is very important. Ensure that any gift, activity or experience substituted for a monetary reward clearly expresses gratitude and shows how you have your employees’ interests front of mind when choosing them. Happy employees will lead to healthy business – and this is the ultimate goal.
