Home News Software as a Service Gives Re ...
With the emergence of global job boards such as JobServe and Monster, it has become increasingly difficult for small and medium recruitment agencies to keep up with the competition and drive traffic to their own sites. As candidates become more sophisticated and more features are required, having your website developed or upgraded by hiring a web consultancy is becoming progressively more expensive. Users have come to expect fresh content, frequent job postings and a certain level of interaction provided for example by discussion forums, regardless of the website they are browsing. So, is it all lost for smaller agencies? Not according to the companies providing Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions to a growing number of SMBs. SiteJourney Ltd (http://www.sitejourney.com) is so far the only UK provider delivering SaaS-enabled recruitment websites.

Working for Satan in the City of Angels
I am in Los Angeles, and I want to kill. I want to kill the arrogant hotel valet who sneers at my rented Chevy Malibu, I want to kill the phony concierge who stumbles purposely over my name so I don't forget I'm not a celebrity. I want to kill the guy behind me in the Lotus and I want to kill the guy in front of me in the Ferrari. I want to kill Mel Gibson, who walks out of the restaurant as I walk in, and I want to kill the photographers taking his picture, and I want to kill the woman who shouts "Leave him alone!" and I want to kill her friend who whispers, once he is gone, "What a letdown!"
I am reminded almost daily of the time God wanted destroy Sodom, and I think maybe I've been a little too hard on the Guy. I imagine Abraham here in Los Angeles, and I imagine God saying, "I am going to destroy LA," and Abraham says, as he did regarding Sodom, "But what if you find fifty righteous men there, will you still destroy it then?" and I imagine a well-timed beat before Abe and God start laughing.
Physical Activity in Children Linked to Motor Abilities
Boys and girls who have better motor abilities are more physically active and less likely to be sedentary than children with poorer coordination, research conducted with children between the ages of 8 and 10 at the University at Buffalo has shown. Results of the study appear in the December issue of the journal Pediatrics. While the finding may appear intuitive, few studies have used a valid assessment of motor proficiency in children and compared the outcomes with an objective measure of physical activity, according to Brian H. Wrotniak, Ph.D., lead author on the study. "The primary question of this cross-sectional research was to determine if there is a relationship between how coordinated children were and their level of physical activity," said Wrotniak, who conducted the study while a doctoral student at UB in the departments of Social and Preventive Medicine and Pediatrics.
