Overview
JobStreet.com is a leading regional provider of online recruitment services that facilitate the recruiting process between employers and jobseekers. Since 1995, its has developed to become one of the leading Internet recruitment websites ( www.jobstreet.com ) with offices in Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, India, Bangladesh and Japan. The organization services over 50,000 corporate customers and over 5 million jobseekers.

1. Company History
In the year 1995, JobStreet.com founders, Mark Chang together with some graduate friends from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), believed that there are two critical aspects which are fundamental for any organization to be successful; their ability to tap financial capital and human resources. The founders thought that as Wall Street was the established global benchmark for raising financial capital to fuel corporate growth, that what was absent was an equivalent ‘street’ institution for ‘raising’ human capital.

They also were convinced that in the final analysis it would be people and human talent that would prove to be the major differentiator as everything else would commoditized. But matching the right people with the right company was steeped in traditional methods and had seen very little innovation, especially in the Asian region. In addition, current methods for both employers and employees are complicated in terms of efficiency and transparency.

The founders set out then to ambitiously build a web based exchange that would list all available jobs in Asia to job seekers; and make all available talent known to organizations; and this would be conducted with user convenience and utmost confidentiality. Since the company’s simple beginnings, it has pioneered the way with a regional presence in Singapore, Malaysia, India, Philippines, Indonesia, Japan and Bangladesh and managing to attract the interests of over 5 million job seekers and 50,000 companies regionally.

2. Products and Services
a. Online Recruitment

(i) JobStreet ESSENTIAL

This is the core service offered by JobStreet as an online recruitment solution. It is made up of the following:-

Job Posting

This is an exchange that facilitates a two-way exchange of information between employers (job postings and descriptions) and jobseekers (applications and resumes). Regionally, over 50,000 employers and 5 million registered jobseekers have participated in the exchange.

Jobseekers who visit www.jobstreet.com can search the site for suitable openings. In addition, they are invited to register their job preferences and resume details in their personal MyJobStreet career management account. Once registered, registrants will have the benefit of LiNA, a personal job-tracking virtual agent. As soon as an employer posts a job description that matches the registrant's preferences, the registrant is notified by email of the position. If the position is of interest to her, she will then proceed to apply for the job and submit her resume online.

SiVA (Recruitment management system)

SiVA is a proprietary browser-based applicant tracking and resume management application that speeds the processing aspect of recruitment dramatically. Based on an ASP model, this recruitment management system, called SiVA, which sits on JobStreet’s servers, is available to JobStreet’s customers comprising potential employers who will be assigned with a unique password and user identification to access the system over the Internet.

(ii) JobStreet SELECT

JobStreet SELECT is a search and selection solution through which JobStreet has undertaken projects for some major customers including HSBC Electronic Data Processing, Scope International , ExxonMobil Exploration and Production with high success rates. JobStreet has been able to reach a large pool of jobseekers, and through its recruitment management system, shorten the process of identifying the most suitable candidates much faster than conventional recruiters.

(iii) JobStreet IMPACT

JobStreet IMPACT is a career site management service where companies can license career site and candidate database management services from JobStreet instead of setting up and maintaining their career website themselves. Upon licensing these, HR personnel can post job postings on their own corporate website directly without involving web designers. HR personnel will also have the benefit of SiVA where they can screen and process candidates efficiently.

The attractiveness of JobStreet IMPACT to the Group is that a portion of the revenue from this service is recurring. Customers are charged an initial set-up fee as well as an annual maintenance fee. The maintenance fee portion is recurring as long as JobStreet continues to host the client’s career site.  (iv) JobStreet RESOURCE

This service is essentially to provide employees on a contract basis to customers who desire to allocate permanent headcount to core positions or who have project/variable work requirements. Leveraging on its strong database, JobStreet can offer high-quality staff on short notice. There are opportunities to expand this business further given the desire by most companies to develop a more flexible workforce structure and focus on core competencies.

(v) JobStreet CAMPUS

JobStreet CAMPUS provides a unique service of allowing companies which subscribe to the service on an annual basis to mine a database of fresh graduate candidates. Companies subscribing to the JobStreet CAMPUS service are allowed to leverage on JobStreet’s presence when it conducts visits to universities or participate in education and career fairs.

Context sensitive user interface
A context sensitive user interface is one which can automatically choose from a multiplicity of options based on the current or previous state(s) of the program operation. Context sensitivity is almost ubiquitous in current graphical user interfaces, and should, when operating correctly, be practically transparent to the user.

For example:

Clicking on a text document automatically opens the document in a word processing enviroment. The user does not have to specify what type of program opens the file under standard conditions.

The same methodology applies to other file types eg:


 * Video files (.mpg .mov .avi etc) open in a video player without being the user having to select a specific program.
 * Photographic and other image files (.jpg .png etc) will open in a photo viewer automatically.
 * Program files and their shortcuts (ie .exe files) are automatically run by the computer.

Reasoning and advantages of context sensitivity
The primary reason for introducing context sensitivity is to simplify the user interface. Advantages include :
 * Reduced number of commands required to be known to the user for a given level of productivity.
 * Reduced number of 'clicks' or keystrokes required to carry out a given operation.
 * Allows consistent behaviour to be pre-programmed or altered by the user.
 * Reduces the number of options to be on screen at one time (ie 'clutter').

Disadvantages
Context sensitive actions may be perceived as dumbing down of the user interface - leaving the operator at a loss as to what to do when the computer decides to perform an unwanted action. Additionally non-automatic proceedures may be hidden or obscured by the context sensitive interface causing an increase in user workload for operations the designers did not forsee.

A poor implementation can be more annoying than helpful - a classic example of this is Office assistant.

Implementation
At the simplest level each possible action is reduced to a single most likely action - The action performed is based on a single variable (such as file extension). In more complicated implementations multiple factors can be assessed such as the users previous actions, the size of the file, the programs in current use, metadata etc.

The method is not only limited to the response to imperative button presses and mouse clicks - pop up menus can be pruned and/or altered, or a web search can prune results based on previous searches.

At higher levels of implementation context sensitive actions require either larger amounts of meta-data, extensive Case analysis based programming, or other artificial intelligence algorthyms.

In computer and video games
Context sensitivity is important in video games - espesially those controlled by a gamepad, joystick or computer mouse in which the number of buttons available is limited.

Implementations range from the embryonic 'Quick Time Event' to context sensitive sword combat in which the attack used depends on the position and orientation of both the player and opponent, as well as the virtual surroundings. A similar range of use is found in the 'action button' which dependent on the in game position of the player's character may cause the avatar to pick something up, open a door, grab a rope, punch a monster or opponent, or smash an object.

The response does not have to be player activated - a on screen device may only be shown in certain circumstances eg 'targetting' cross hairs in a flight combat game may indicate the player should fire. An alternative implementation is to monitor the input from the player (level of button pressing activity etc) and use that to control the pace of the game in an attempt to maximise enjoyment or to control the excitement or ambiance.

The method has become increasingly important as more complex games are designed for machines with few buttons (keyboard-less consoles). Bennet Ring commented (in 2006) that "Context-sensitive is the new lens flare"

Context Sensitive Help
Context sensitive help is a common implementation of context sensitivity, a single help button is actioned and the help page or menu will open a specific page or topic related

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), an irreversible deterioration in renal function is a growing worldwide health problem. The aetiology varies between countries but Diabetes and Hypertension are usually dominant factors in other parts of the world.

In recent years we have noticed a very distressing abnormal increase in the number of patients with chronic kidney Disease in certain parts of the North central, Eastern and Uva Provinces in Sri Lanka. Here I would like to name this disease as “Rajarata Kidney Disease”. (Rajarata was an important area belongs to the ancient Sinhala kingdom. Today, almost all of the areas with high prevalence of this disease belong to this region)

Unfortunately some so called researchers in our country still name this disease as “chronic kidney disease in North central Province in Sri Lanka”. It may be due to their poor knowledge of the geography of the country. I can say without any doubt that some of them have not visited these areas more than one or two times for their life time.

Interestingly we can observe higher number of CKD patients from Sinhala Buddhist villages located adjacent to the so called Tamil homeland, Madawachchiya, Padaviya, Sripura, Madirigiriya, Hingurakgoda,, Girandurukotte Tamil homeland is one of the major aspirations of Tamil racism. Tamil Racism considers the Tamils to be a separate nation in there so called traditional homeland and they want to live as a separate nation. Over the centuries Tamil racism has developed in to separatism to obtain a separate mono ethnic Tamil state by dividing the Sri Lanka. L.T.T.E terrorism is the highest military product of Tamil racism.

Unfortunately still no proper national Chronic Kidney Disease database is available in Sri Lanka. But according to the rough estimation done by me more than 7000 cases have been reported for the last 5 years. Almost all the patients are Sinhalese and they are from above mentioned areas where we can dub “CKD Belt”.

•	Madawchchiya                    2500 •	Padaviya                               1200 •	Madirigiriya                          1000 •	Hingurakgoda                        600 •	Girandutrukotte                    800 •	Mahawilachchiya                  100 •	Sripura                                    100

The Disease onset is seen in adolescence and number of cases Reported increases with increasing age. These patients typically present with non specific symptoms and signs such as Lethargy, Weakness, moderate anaemia and mild hypertension. Western medical Studies performed so far suggest that a common although yet unknown aetiology, leading to marked Tubulointerstitial fibrosis of the kidney that finally causes Irreversible kidney failure. Renal Biopsies showed TubuloInterstitial disease in more than 80% of the cases.

Even though several studies have performed regarding the aetiology still it remains largely unknown. Following are some of the current Hypotheses put forward.

01.	Excessive quantities of naturally found fluoride in the ground water which can harm the kidney. 02.	Excessive use of fertilizers, Insecticides, and weedicides. 03.	The use of Aluminum utensils made out of low quality cheap Aluminum to store water and to         prepare food. The fluoride content found in the ground water reacts with the Aluminum and creating Toxic compounds (ALF x) 04. Entry of Toxic element such as Cadmium via food chain 05.	Excessive consumption of poor quality illegal liquor.

When we consider the geographical distribution of the outbreak, any of the above theories are unable to give a consistent explanation for the existing problem. According to Prof. C.B. Dissanayaka (1991), high amount of fluoride in the ground water can be seen in all parts of the Dry zone. But this chronic kidney disease is confined to the certain part of the dry zone.

Excessive use of fertilizers, Aluminum utensils and poor quality illegal liquor are not limited to certain parts of the country, those are countrywide problems.

This disease shows some similarity with previously observed Balkan Endemic Nephropathy (BEN) which is also an Irreversible kidney disease of unknown origin. BEN geographically confined to several rural regions of Bosnia, Croatia & Serbia (former Yugoslavia), Bulgaria, Romania (all are former communist countries) where disease occurs only in rural areas located in alluvial valleys of tributaries of the Lower Danube River.

It is estimated that several thousand people in the affected countries are currently suffering from chronic kidney disease much similar to the condition in Sri Lanka. What we have to remember is, this Balkan area is also subject to experiencing separatism.

With regard to Rajarata kidney Disease here I am proposing a new concept, which is, this epidemic can be a result of Bioterrorism. The usual meaning of Bioterrorism is the use of biological agents, such as pathogenic organisms or agricultural pests, for terrorist purposes. This idea came after observing the geographical distribution of the disease. High prevalence of the disease can be seen in Sinhala Buddhist villages located adjacent to the proposed Tamil homeland. LTTE terrorists have been fighting for a mono ethnic Tamil homeland for more than 25 years. For the last 2 – 3 decades these Sinhala Buddhist villages were repeatedly attacked by LTTE terrorists and hundreds of unarmed innocent Sinhala farmers were brutally killed.

Even after these killing sprees, Tamil Racism was not able to achieve their target of driving Sinhala Buddhist villagers away. It may be the reason, that they have changed their strategy in to Bio terrorism. The Representatives and/or Sponsors of Tamil Racism may be using Laboratory produced nephrotoxic substances or nephrotoxin producing organisms for their purpose. I wonder why so called researchers in our country have not yet considered about Nephrotoxin producing Fungi, Cyanobacteria and Algae.

Unfortunately the so called researchers in our country were not able to identify this simple correlation between the disease and geographical distribution even. Most of the time purpose of these researchers was totally academic rather than finding a solution for this problem. Only thing that they can do is to fill forms and prescribing drugs according to the western publications. We should never expect a solution from these third class academics in our country as they are only imitators of the western knowledge. They are not capable of producing good theories within the western system. If there was a similar kind of problem in USA, UK, or in Canada, genuine western intellectuals in those countries would have been created good theories by now. But at the moment there is no such a chronic kidney disease in those countries. So there are no theories. As a result of that pseudointellectuals in our country were not able to download theories from the Internet. That is why these third class academics were not able to give good consistent explanation for the existing problem.

VMS Eve
VMS Eve is a carrier mothership for Virgin Galactic and launch platform for Virgin Space Ships. It is the first White Knight Two delivered from Scaled Composites to Virgin Galactic.

The aircraft was named after Evette Branson, the mother of Richard Branson, Chairman of the Virgin Group. The jet plane has nose art of a blond woman holding the Virgin Galactic corporate flag. The image is based on how Evette Branson looked like when she was younger, and is called Galactic Girl. The aircraft was officially launched on Monday, July 28th, 2008, in Mojave, California, USA, at the Mojave Spaceport, home of Scaled Composites. Eve will be used in the Virgin Galactic testflight program, preceding entry into commercial usage. It is expected that commercial service will start in 2010.

At the time of launch, it was the largest all-composite aircraft built. It has the longest single-piece composite aircraft part, a 140ft long wingspar. Burt Rutan has dismissed fears that pressurization cycles might induce fatigue failure in the composite structure. Richard Branson has also announced that it will be highly fuel efficient.

Hard Times Club Night, West Yorkshire
Description: Hard Times was a Club that had various locations around West Yorkshire.

The man who started it all was Stephen Raine. A farmer who went from herding sheep ( The Hard Times March was produced by Masters at Work under the name 200 Sheep, named because Steve was in the process of buying "200" Sheep when the track was played to him, allegedly)

Steve turned his interest into music business in the early 90's. Opening in Mirfield in 93 it then moved onto Huddersfield, to the Bel Air Club (a church) with residents Miles Holloway and Elliot Eastwick.

When a late license was refused the move to Leeds was the only other choice. Hard Times took over the old Back to Basics haunt of the Music Factory, where the legendary "A Night in the Life of Todd Terry" album was recorded (a live recording was a 1st in the music business)

Later on it moved to NATO until its closer, although it did return to Huddersfield in late '96 for one off nights.Whch was then followed by a move back into space at Leeds, which again proved to be hugely successful. The night ended when Steve Raine decided he needed a rest and went back to his farming routes once again. One of the last nights at space was the 10th Birthday with the likes of Masters at work.

DJ’s to play at the night include;

Masters at Work Roger Sanchez Todd Terry Frankie Knuckles David Morales Satoshi Tomiie aka Def Mix Robert Owens.

From the club came THE LABEL that mainly focused on American garage. The label attracted artists like Todd Terry, Benji Candelario, Roger Sanchez and MAW to name some. Hard Times followed Dave Lee's (Joey Negro) Republic label and exported the American garage Sound.

The label didn't release many records but each one is mega. -->

Mom's Healthy Secrets
Mom’s Healthy Secrets is a Canadian cereal company based in Oakville, Ontario. The company produces a line of organic and all-natural cereals sold nationally in both large retail chains and independent health food stores. The company is also a proud supporter of the Canadian Cancer Society, donating a portion of its profits to the organization.

HISTORY
Mom’s Healthy Secrets was founded in 2005 by Julie Arora, using cereal recipes created by her mom, Neera. Neera’s intention was to develop healthier alternatives for her family than what was found on grocery shelves based on her philosophy “Your body is your vehicle and food is your fuel”. Experiencing the nutritious and energizing benefits of the cereal, Julie decided to share her mom’s secret with others. After continuous and increasing demand from family and friends, Julie realized the cereal’s immense market potential. She then went from eating her mom’s healthy recipes for breakfast to turning those recipes into the basis of an award-winning cereal company. The company began with the launch of two all-natural cereals; Tropical Fruit and Raisin. Mom’s Healthy Secrets has since added three new cereals to its line in 2008; VitalBerry, OmegaActive and FibreFit, adding function to Canadian breakfast. Every product is created to be truly healthy, and provides many nutritious benefits that Mom believes are vital for your body’s well-being. Each cereal is “Mom Approved”.

Durham Hospitals Radio (DHR)
DHR was formed in the 1960s, by its now honourary president Alex Smith.

When it was first formed, DHR was simply a record player on a trolley, which was trundled around the wards and requests were played at the listeners' bedsides; unfortunate for any near neighbours who disliked the choice of music!

The next step was to broadcast from a "cupboard" appropriated by Alex, but this was not really satisfactory. The old Porter's Lodge, at the entrance of the old Dryburn Hospital, was commandeered and converted into a broadcasting studio.

A four hour request programme was transmitted (close-circuit) to all wards every Wednesday evening and live commentary of football matches were broadcast every Saturday afternoon.

When more volunteers were recruited, transmissions (mainly request programes) became a daily feature of hospital life but were usually confined to evenings when people were available to present programmes.

The Lodge was extended to accommodate a second studio and "one man operation" was introduced to allow productions to become less labour intensive.

DHR moved to its new studios, in the Management Suite, when the new hospital building was completed, early in the 21st Century.

Durham Hospitals Radio is a registered charity and is entirely self-supporting. It is made up entirely of volunteers who produce and broadcast live programmes most weekday evenings; their work includes going onto the wards to collect requests from the patients.

The station broadcasts 24-hours a day to the University Hospital of North Durham, providing entertainment and information about the numerous services and facilities within the hospital "village".

Jeff Krantz
Jeff Krantz is a singer-songwriter, based in New York City. His style of music is acoustic/folk rock/pop.

Prior to his emergence into the music industry, Jeff worked a high paying job in real estate. Formerly riding the corporate path through most of his 20s, his passion for writing and singing was only thought to be a living room hobby. After very positive response from an impromptu performance in the UK (January 2007), Jeff realized his priorities and made the decision to pursue what mattered most to him...music. Within a couple weeks of his return to NYC, Jeff resigned from his successful job in real estate. Now investing all his time and efforts into his music career.

After trying to get some local gigs, someone suggested he look into Second Life. Jeff, who was not familiar with this virtual world beforehand, created his alter personality, Hep Shepherd. There he brought his music to an audience. Now, with over 200 online performances from his apartment, he has built a large fanbase and following.

The uniqueness as a breakthrough musician in Second Life, has garnered a lot of interest from the media and press. Since September 20007, Jeff has been featured in several mainstream media outlets, including: Billboard Magazine, Newsweek , CNN.com and most recently, The London Metro. He has been interviewed on numerous radio shows, podcasts, and blogs from all over the world, who are intrigued by the way he broke into the music industry in little over a year.

Becoming one of the most successful musicians in Second Life, has played a key role in Jeff's transition from virtual success to real life success. Second Life assisted his career by connecting him with tens of thousands of fans, through his online performances. His song, "Last Goodbye" was given away as a debut single to residents of SL. Now, Jeff (aka Hep Sheperd,) has taken his virtual shows and brought them into the real world, where he has established quite a following and is growing popular rather quickly.

Jeff is currently in the studio, recording his debut full-length album, scheduled for release in Fall 2008. In addtion to his recording and regular NYC gigs, Jeff recently completed a European tour during summer 2008. Throughout this tour, he played to packed venues in England, Ireland, and Belgium. He also performed Live at The Bedford in London, with the performance being streamed online for the world to watch and listen. An interview and live performance on Radio 1 Brussels also took place before one of his shows in Belgium.

The music of Jeff Krantz, is filled with lyrical insight, memorable melodies, and delivered with heartfelt passion. With his honest and pure music style, he earned a nomination and a finalist spot for ‘Male Artist of the Year’ from the International Acoustic Music Awards. One of Jeff's own musical influences, Cat Stevens, took the time to write Jeff and had this to say, "I listened to his music with great interest, his lyrics are memorable and clear."

Flax Pond
Flax Pond is a tidal estuary located in Old Field, New York, on the north shore of Long Island. As a 146-acre salt marsh, Flax Pond is a natural site of great biodiversity and natural beauty. . Flax Pond is owned by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and is accessed by researchers at Stony Brook University as a Marine Lab for the state

In addition to research, Flax Pond also serves as a recreational beach for Long Islanders, though its location prevents many from utilizing the facility, which has served as a point of contention.

In recent years, the management of Flax Pond has become a very important issue. The environmentally conscious group Friends of Flax Pond has used the facility to educate those in the community through lectures, workshops, and science programs. However, the NYSDEC has sought to make the Pond more accessible to residents, thus risking the environmentally pristine nature of the Pond. .

State Assemblyman Steven Englebright, who has roots in geology, has repeatedly stressed the importance of Flax Pond as a environmental sanctuary. He has funded projects for Flax Pond, such as their summer learning institute and has held lectures to promote these ideals.
