Something About node.js

By,
Nived

JavaScript’s rising quality has brought with it plenty of changes, and also the face of internet development these days is dramatically completely different. The items that we will do on the net these days with JavaScript running on the server, also as within the browser, were exhausting to imagine simply many years past, or were encapsulated inside sandboxed environments like Flash or Java Applets.

Before dig into Node.js, you would possibly need to browse informed the advantages of exploitation JavaScript across the stack that unifies the language and format (JSON), permitting you to optimally employ developer resources. As this can be additional a good thing about JavaScript than Node.js specifically, we tend to won’t discuss it abundant here. However it’s a key advantage to incorporating Node in your stack.
As Wikipedia states: “Node.js may be a packaged compilation of Google’s V8 JavaScript engine, the libuv platform abstraction layer, and a core library, that is itself primarily written in JavaScript.” on the far side that, it’s price noting that Ryan Dahl, the creator of Node.js, was reaching to produce time period websites with push capability, “inspired by applications like Gmail”. In Node.js, he gave developers a tool for operating within the non-blocking, event-driven I/O paradigm.
In one sentence: Node.js shines in time period internet applications using push technology over web sockets. What’s thus revolutionary regarding that? Well, when over twenty years of unsettled-web supported the stateless request-response paradigm, we tend to finally have internet applications with time period, two-way connections, wherever each the consumer and server will initiate communication, permitting them to exchange knowledge freely. This can be in stark distinction to the standard internet response paradigm, wherever the consumer perpetually initiates communication. To boot, it’s all supported the open internet stack (HTML, CSS and JS) running over the quality port eighty.
One may argue that we’ve had this for years within the sort of Flash and Java Applets—but actually, those were simply sandboxed environments exploitation the net as a transport protocol to be delivered to the consumer. Plus, they were run in isolation and infrequently operated over non-standard ports, which can have needed further permissions and such.
With all of its blessings, Node.js currently plays an essential role within the technology stack of the many high-profile corporations WHO rely upon its distinctive edges.
In this post, I’ll discuss not solely however these blessings are accomplished, however additionally why you would possibly need to use Node.js—and why not—using a number of the classic internet application models as examples.
The main plan of Node.js: use non-blocking, event-driven I/O to stay light-weight and economical within the face of data-intensive time period applications that meet distributed devices.

C# Programming Language

By,
Parikshit

C# Introduction:
C# is based on .NET framework .  Microsoft included it.  C# is designed to be a simple, object-oriented programming language, modern, general-purpose, borrowing key concepts from several other languages, most notably Java. C# can be run directly to machine code but it is used with combination of .NET framework. Hence there is machine requirement of .NET framework. .NET supports multiple languages. C# is sometimes referred to as THE .NET language, perhaps because it was designed together with the framework. C# is based on Object Oriented Programming hence did not support global functions or variables. Everything is placed in classes, even simple data types like int and string, which inherits from the System. Object class.
C# can be written in any simple text editor like windows notepad and after that can be compiled with C# command line compiler csc.exe. For C# programming you are required Visual C# Express from http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/. After installation you have to install it.

How to use C#:
If you have done programming in C it is similar to C. So you will find quite easier for programming in C#.
Start Visual C# Express, select File -> New project… From the project dialog, select the Console application. This is the most basic application type on a Windows system, but don't worry, we won't stay here for long. Once you click Ok, Visual C# Express creates a new project for you, including a file called program.cs.

Following is simple program in c#
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
namespace ConsoleApplication
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args){}
        }
}

After writing the program save it and press F5 from your keyboard to compile and run the code. After doing this you will see only blank black screen appeared and gone with few seconds. Because we have not putted anything inside the code.  To see the output use following code containing Hello world as a message.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

Again save it and press F5 to execute the code. You will now see the message Hello World printed in above code.
The first line uses the Console class to output a line of text, and the second one reads a line of text from the console. Read? Why? Actually this is a bit of a trick, since without it, the application would just end and close the window with the output before anyone could see it.
The ReadLine command tells the application to wait for input from the user, and as you will notice, the console window now allows you to enter text. Press Enter to close it. Congratulations, you have just created your first C# application! Read on in the next chapter for even more information about what's actually going on.

5 SEO Trends In 2017

By,
Namrata

SEO Trends states that it’s a general direction/guidelines in which something is developing or changing for the better use of the techniques.
Following are the 5 SEO Trends which should be taken care while working on SEO projects:

1)Mobile Indexing as prime Indexing:-
Now a days people (kids to Adults) are technology savvy which highly spend their time on mobile hence it’s said that mobile searches has surpassed the desktop searches in last year i.e. 2016. By considering this scenario, Google (A popular Search Engine widely used by people for searches) said that, mobile and desktop searches are not equal now.
Since then, it has stated that, mobile experience plays an important role across all the devices. Hence google announced that, indexing would start from responsive mobile version followed by desktop version.

2)HTTPS is must to have:-
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) which helps to keep secure data exchange between user’s system and the website. Users are more internet savvy than they were years ago. They expect more secured experience while visiting the website. This plays an important role when it comes to an e-commerce website where money transactions are taken place. This wold be the must to use trend in this year.

3)Social media is a larger referral traffic source:- 
For SEO, Social media plays a vital role to reach out the audiences where much activities and the user engagement is involved on daily basis. Various products and services are being searched and discovered on social media. So, we need to keep close eye on the social media activities which is really a major source of quality referral traffic.

4)Increase in voice search:-
Though people are technology savvy, but they are as lazy too in terms of writing search queries in search bar. Because, you can get the answers to almost anything you want to search and get it in the search results. Hence this technology would grow rapidly this year, giving local businesses a new way to be found.
 
5)Help of Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) for SEO:-
The new borne concept called as AMP; “AMP is a way to build web pages for static content that render fast. AMP in action consists of three different parts: AMP HTML is HTML with some restrictions for reliable performance and some extensions for building rich content beyond basic HTML. The AMP JS library ensures the fast rendering of AMP HTML pages. The Google AMP Cache can be used to serve cached AMP HTML pages.”
This fast rendering of the web pages would help users for better and quick browsing, online shopping and many more services which ultimately results in Good traffic for website, Good Alexa Rank and also will help for branding your product.

Conclusion:- These are the trends which would be followed in this year hence we need to pay attention to achieve it for our websites for better results.

Difference between Business Development and Sales

By,
Divya


Business Development and Sales are same....?
 
Sales and business development. Just two different ways to refer to the same activity -- getting your company’s product into customers' hands, is it really true?

What is Sales:
Sales is responsible for selling a specific product or service, with a clear price and value, to an identifiable individual customer. Sales is the activity that happens once the specific customer is identified.
Sales is all about closing. After receiving a qualified lead from an SDR, sales reps take the deals across the finish line. Sales reps might perform some additional qualification in certain circumstances, but their primary objective is to close deals. Sales reps are also responsible for demonstrating the product, handling prospect objections, and drafting contracts.


What is Business Development:
Business Development Identifies and executes NEW areas of business - new markets, new distribution channels, new products - typically through the use of partnerships between another company and an internal department at your company.also In the traditional sense, business development refers to activities designed to expand your organization's reach into a new market -- for example, forming partnerships with other businesses to sell Company X’s product to Company Y’s customers.
 
How Sales and Business Development Differs
1.Expansion Vs Distribution
BD managers look for ways to grow the business in order to increase the revenue, and so they make strategies to expand the current market and find a new one. Sales managers, on the other hand, look after the distribution of product and services in the market and designate territories to sales representatives to achieve the pre-defined goals

Focus and Execution
The function of business development is to identify how much a business will expand and where that expansion will come from, and then interpreting the approach through which it can be achieved. Sales develop a relationship with end-users in order to link them to a final product or service. In other words, BD is about devising, focusing and measuring the plan, whereas, sales is about its execution

Adapting with Market trends
Business development is about agility. It is one of the most important traits of a business development manager, because the market trends keep changing from time to time, and there are multiple factors that trigger such variations. Therefore, they have to make timely decisions and adjust the company’s products, services, and pricing accordingly as soon as they notice currency fluctuation and variation in consumers’ demand or trends. On the contrary, consumer trends are regularly observed by the sales manager to determine the ways of how performance can be improved. For instance, sales representatives may be directed by their manager to promote such goods and services that are similar to those sold by their competitors for profit

The effectiveness of a business development is partially based on his ability to see a bigger picture beyond his own responsibilities and keeping his focus to achieve the targets defined by a business. For example, it usually includes working side by side with managers from different departments in a company to assist them in the preparation of presentations and management of contract negotiations.
The success of sales is based on their ability to be able to oversee a number of product outlets in different territories. This is where sales managers have to change their tactics according to the demand of that region in order to improve their revenues and boost profits.
Although, business development can be seen as a jack of all trades, but it should be noted that they cannot replace sales. In fact, a business would probably fail in the absence of a focused sales staff. Individuals working in sales department possess different traits than those working in the business development department, for example, they can understand the marketing techniques better than BD managers. If the purpose of BDR is to bring the key elements of business together, it is sales representatives who materialize the targets defined by BDR.
They are social engineering processes that are based heavily on understanding and impacting a human behavior that cannot be controlled by any business. This is why it is important to define, test, formalize, optimize, and scale the processes of sales and business development so as to gain market leadership.

Space Junk Collector into Orbit by Japan

By,
Karishma

Japan has launched a cargo ship bound for the ISS (International Space Station), carrying a ‘space junk’ collector which was made with the help of a fishnet company. Scientists at the JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) are experimenting with a tether to pull junk out of orbit around Earth, clearing up huge space clutter including cast-off equipment from old satellites and pieces of rocket.
a) The cargo ship is also carrying other materials for the ISS including batteries and drinking water for the astronauts living there.
b)More than 50 years of human space observation since the Soviet-launched Sputnik satellite in 1957 has produced this dangerous belt of orbiting debris.
c)There are estimated to be more than 100 million pieces in orbit, assuming a growing threat to future space exploration.
d)Researchers are using a so-called electrodynamics tether made from thin wires of stainless steel and aluminium.
e)The logic is that one end of the strip will be attached to debris which can damage working equipment—there are hundreds of collisions every year.
f) The capsule — called Kounotori, or white stork — contains nearly 5 tons of food, water and other supplies, including six new lithium-ion batteries for the station’s solar power system. Astronauts will manage spacewalks next month to replace the old nickel-hydrogen batteries that store energy generated by the station’s big solar panels.
g) This is Japan’s sixth shipment to the 250-mile-high outpost, is currently home to Pesquet, two Americans and three Russians. It launched from Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan.

IOC container Dependency Injection in Spring

By,
Santosh

The Inversion of Control (IoC) container is responsible to assemble, instantiate and configure the objects of classes. The Inversion of Control (IoC) container take information’s from XML file and works respectively. The main tasks performed by Inversion of Control (IoC) container are:
o instantiate the class.
o configure object.
o assemble the dependencies.

Two types of Inversion of Control (IoC) containers. That are as follows:
1.  org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactory and org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext interfaces works as the Inversion of Control (IoC) container. The ApplicationContext interface is create on the top of the BeanFactory interface. It has some additional functionality than BeanFactory like application layer specific context, event propagation, message resource handling, simple integration with Spring's AOP, for web application. So this interface is better to use than BeanFactory.
2. BeanFactory
3. ApplicationContext
Using BeanFactory
The BeanFactory interface is implemented by the XmlBeanFactory class. To work with the BeanFactory, we have to create the object of XmlBeanFactory class as below:
Resource res=new ClassPathResource("applicationContext.xml"); 
BeanFactory fact=new XmlBeanFactory(res); 

Using ApplicationContext
ApplicationContext interface implemented class is the ClassPathXmlApplicationContext. We have to instantiate the ClassPathXmlApplicationContext class to work the ApplicationContext as given below:
ApplicationContext context =    new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext.xml"); 
Constructor of ClassPathXmlApplicationContext class receives string, so we have to pass the name of the xml file to create the instance of ApplicationContext interface.

Dependency Injection:-
For making programming code loosely coupled Dependency Injection is helpful. To understand the Dependency Injection better, first understand the Dependency Lookup:
Dependency Lookup
The Dependency Lookup is an approach where we get the resource after demand. There can be various ways to get the resource.
Example ex = new AImpl(); 

In such cases, we get the resource directly by new keyword. Another way is factory method.
Example ex = A.getA(); 
This case, we get the resource by calling the static factory method getA().
and, we can get the resource by Java Naming Directory Interface as:
Context context = new InitialContext(); 
Context environmentCtx = (Context) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env"); 
Example object = (Example)environmentCtx.lookup("Example"); 
Problems of Dependency Lookup

Mainly two problems of DL.
o dependency lookup approach makes the tight coupling for code. If resource is changed, we have to perform modification in the code.
o Not easy for testing This approach creates problems while testing.

IPv6-Internet Protocol Version 6

By,
Pankaj

Internet Protocol version 6 is set of specifications from Internet Engineering Task Force that's essentially an upgrade of IP version 4 Internet Protocol version 4.The basics of Internet Protocol version 6 are similar to those of Internet Protocol version 4 devices can use Internet Protocol version 6 as source and destination addresses to pass packets over a network, and tools like ping work for network testing as they do in IPv4, with some slight variations.

Internet Protocol Version 6 is network layer protocol that enables data communications over  packet switched network. Packet switching involves the sending and receiving of data in packets between two nodes in a network. The working standard for the Internet Protocol version 6 protocol was published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in 1998. The IETF specification for Internet Protocol version 6 is RFC 2460 Internet Protocol version 6 was intended to replace the widely used Internet Protocol Version 4 (Internet Protocol version 4) that is considered the backbone of the modern Internet. Internet Protocol version 6 is often referred to as the "next generation Internet" because of its expanded capabilities and its growth through recent large scale deployments. In year of  2004, Japan and Korea were acknowledged as having the first public deployments of Internet Protocol version 6.
The explosive growth in mobile devices including mobile phones and wireless handheld devices has created need for additional blocks of IP addresses. Internet Protocol version 4   currently supports a maximum of approximately 4.2 billion unique IP addresses. Internet Protocol version 6 supports a theoretical maximum of 2128 addresses (340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,456 ). Recent advancements in network technology including Network Address Translation have temporarily lessened urgency for new IP addresses, however, recent estimates indicate that Internet Protocol version 4  addresses could be exhausted as soon as 2012.
Internet Protocol version 6  and Internet Protocol version 4  share a similar architecture. Majority of transport layer protocols that function with Internet Protocol version 4 will also function with the Internet Protocol version 6 protocol. Most application layer protocols are expected to be interoperable with Internet Protocol version 6 as well, with the notable exception of File Transfer Protocol .
A main advantage of Internet Protocol version 6 is increased address space. The 128-bit length of Internet Protocol version 6 addresses is a significant gain over the 32-bit length of Internet Protocol version 4 addresses, allowing for an almost limitless number of unique IP addresses. The size of the Internet Protocol version 6 address space makes it less vulnerable to malicious activities such as IP scanning. Internet Protocol version 6 packets can support a larger payload than IPv4 packets resulting in increased throughput and transport efficiency.
A key enhancement over Internet Protocol version 4 is native support for mobile devices. Internet Protocol version 6supports the Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 protocol which enables mobile devices and wireless devices to switch between networks and receive a roaming notification regardless of physical location Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 is a hallmark of the protocol and was specified as a firm requirement during the design of Internet Protocol version 6. The IETF has separate specifications for Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 that detail data structure, messaging, and security requirements.
Auto-configuration is another Internet Protocol version 6  enhancement that is considered a great benefit to network administrators. Internet Protocol version 6   devices can independently auto-configure themselves when connected with other IPv6 devices. Internet Protocol version 6   router has the ability to determin its own IPv6 address using data link layer addressing parameters. The IETF has issued RFC 2462 to set guidelines for Internet Protocol version 6 auto-configuration.
The deployment of Internet Protocol version 6   networks is growing worldwide. Full replacement of Internet Protocol version 4 is expected to take some time, as it remains the most widely used Internet Protocol. The United States and India are leading recent deployments of the Internet Protocol version 6  protocol and have large investments in Internet Protocol version 6  network infrastructure. United States government has mandated that federal agencies must complete the transition to Internet Protocol version 6  infrastructure no later than 2008. Software companies are also releasing operating systems that support the Internet Protocol version 6   standard. In 1997, IBM became the first commercial vendor to support Internet Protocol version 6   through its an AIX 4.3 operating system.Latest version of Microsoft's Windows operating system, Windows Vista, has full Internet Protocol version 6  support enabled by default.

Drupal 8

By,
Parikshit


Drupal 8 is having additional features like web services. In previous versions of drupal it is very difficult to work with web services. Hence new version of drupal made easier to work with web services.

REST Concept:
Web services allow access for external applications to interact with our application. The web services mainly work on read, create, update, delete the records or resources.
REST is most popular way to work with web services. REST is compatible with Drupal. There are also other formats that can be used SOAP or XML-RPC.  REST uses HTTP methods, such as GET, POST, and DELETE.
                                         
The Drupal 8 can use web services in following modules:
RESTful Web Services (rest):
This method uses sources RESTful API with dependency on Serialization module for the serialization of data that is sent to and from the API.
Serialization:
It Provides a service for serialization of data to and from formats such as JSON and XML.
Authentication by HTTP(basic_auth):
It provides basic authentication using HTTP basic authentication provider. There is a module called OAuth which provides additional security while authenticating in Drupal 8.

Features of Drupal:
1. Quality improvement
 Drupal Helps to improve better web applications and with less time consumption supporting agile methods.

2. Easier to Handle
Simple for developers and content editors, D8 features live, inline editing so you can vividly experience your new content across devices

3. Improved with practical knowledge:
Drupal 8 is based on web services, leveraging best-of-breed components recognised in the industry.

4. Drupal is Open Source
It is open source i.e. it is freely available and can be modified as per requirements.

5. More Popular
There are more number of users hence large support is available worldwide for Drupal.

Additional Functionalities in Drupal 8
a.New Fields:
There are five completely new field types in the Drupal 8 core:
• Date
• Email
• Link
• Reference
• Telephone

b. Facility to add new fields wherever required:
You can add fields to nodes, blocks, comments, contact forms, taxonomy terms and users.

c. CKeditor:
Previous version of drupal didn’t support text editors. But drupal 8 support text editor, one of the very best text editors on the market.

d. Quick Edit:
QuickEdit functionality is made available in drupal 8, you'll be able to edit text directly from the front-end of your site.

e. Responsive Images:
Drupal 8 takes that a step further of Drupal 7 and allows you to choose different styles for individual images. The various styles will be used for different device sizes.

Mobile Cloud Applications

By,
Parikshit

Mobile Cloud Apps are based like Web based applications. Mobile cloud apps reside on servers. The working of cloud based apps an Web apps is that they run on servers external to the mobile device a browser is required for the use on the mobile device to display and then use the app user interface (UI).   They are made to be accessed by multiple mobile devices versus a single mobile device, as are native apps.
Cloud apps does not need to be installed on local mobile compared with other application. They can be run directly through the browser window on remote devices. The internet connection is necessary to run mobile cloud applications. The data is transferred between a mobile device and a mobile cloud app, it is usually done using JSON over HTTP.
 
Mobile Cloud Apps are native apps and rebuilt to run in mobile cloud. Some firms offer native as well as mobile cloud versions of their applications.
Difference Between Mobile Cloud Apps and Native Apps:
Look wise difference between native app an mobile cloud app are readily apparent.
Mobile app environment: Mobile cloud server or mobile device
Look and Feel: The main difference between mobile native apps and mobile cloud apps is mobile native apps look is native and for mobile cloud apps it is emulated. Native apps provide facility of Notifications while Mobile cloud apps didn’t support Notifications.
Accessing device features:  Native apps have direct access to on device features like GPS, Camera, sound etc. while Mobile Cloud Apps have access to some of device features through Application Programming Interface [API’s]  that accesses the device itself.
Browser Loading Speed: Native apps are comparatively faster than Cloud apps. As Cloud Apps use browser for UI interface it reduces the loading speed of the app. As native apps have no any intermediate loading these are faster than mobile cloud apps.
Choosing to develop a mobile cloud app over a native app often comes down to whether a developer is willing to sacrifice function for ease of porting to various devices.

Advantages of web apps:
1. Web apps are also cheaper and easier to maintain than native apps for the same reasons, using cross-platform applets rather than keeping up with changes across different devices.

2. Simple, ubiquitous access: Users don’t have to download an application, but simply access a URL via their mobile browser which instantly delivers the most up-to-date application to their device. They can then bookmark the URL for repeat use.

Disadvantages:
1. Although improvements are ongoing, mobile browsers have limited capabilities compared to traditional desktop browsers. Functionality is similar for the major players (Apple, Android, RIM, Windows), but falls off sharply on other platforms. Depending on what platforms need to be supported, the solution may be limited to the lowest common denominator, giving the app a “clunky” look, or require time-consuming customization across browser versions.

2.  Web apps generally 1 cannot access the on-board hardware and software on a mobile device. Requirements such as camera control, direct GPS control (there is limited access to current location), PIM integration, or control of the phone app will rule out web apps right away. Heavy/complex custom graphics (gaming, etc.) also cannot be supported

How to write Formal Email

By,
Prajakta


Use a Professional Email address. Your Email address should be a variation of your real name, not a nickname or any dummy name. Use Hyphens, or underscores to protect an e-mail address that's just your name, without extra numbers or letters, if you can.

Never use an unprofessional email address. No one will take you seriously if your reply-to is joke name or inappropriate name.

2. Use a short and accurate subject header.  Try to Avoid saying too much in the subject header, but it should reflects the content of your Email to a person unfamiliar or not knowing personally you. If possible, include a keyword that will make the Email content easier to remember and/or search for in a crowded inbox. For example, “Meeting regarding the Monthly report on March 12th” is specific enough that the email topic won’t be mistaken for anything else but not so specific as to be distracting. Just Remember always that (professionals) Employee may receive hundreds or more emails per day, the more specific and appealing the subject is the more easier is to connect it with one's personal work.
3. Use a proper salutation. Addressing the recipient by name is preferred. Use the person's title (Mr. , Mrs. Ms. or Dr.) with their last name, followed by a comma or a colon. Optionally, you can use the salutation with "Dear..." (but "Hello..." is acceptable as well). Using a last name is more formal and should be used unless you are on first-name terms with the recipient. If you are not aware of the name of the person you're writing to use "Dear Sir/Madam" or "Dear Sir or Madam" followed by a colon.
4. Introduce yourself in the first paragraph (if necessary). Try to include why you're writing, and how you found that person's Email address, or the opportunity you're writing about. Ex.
• My name is Manish. I'm contacting you to apply for the administrative assistant position listed on www.xyz/CareerXYZ.com.
.
5. Write the actual message. Be sure to get your point across without circuitous; if it's bad, the reader may glance over the important details. Try to spilit your message into paragraphs by topic to make your message more logical and digestible.
• The email should be no more than 5 paragraphs long and each paragraph should be no more than 5 sentences long.
• Insert blank line indenting isn't necessary and will likely be lost during the email transfer anyway.
• Be sure to avoid informal writing.

6. Use the correct form of leave-taking. This will depend on your level of affection with the recipient. Examples include:
• Yours sincerely,
• Yours cordially,
• Respectfully,
• Best,
• Your student,

Things you should do to keep office environment positive.

By,
Nived

We spend such a large amount of our life at work and with today's intense business atmosphere there are more difficulties and worries than any time in recent memory. How might we make a more positive workplace when we have no power to roll out improvements? Actually, the state of mind we convey to work has a major impact.
The proposals underneath are for impacting the general population around us. Our associates and particularly our manager, hugy affect our work involvement, and one of the most ideal approaches to enhance their mentality is to show the conduct we need to find in them. On the off chance that we demonstrate regard, trust, persistence and support, we will probably get them consequently. What else would we be able to do keeping in mind the end goal to impact others to make a more positive workplace? Attempt these 12 tips for making a more positive workplace!
1. Give encouraging feedback
I welcome the way you…
I'm inspired with…
I truly appreciate working with you on the grounds that…
Your group couldn't be fruitful without your…
I respect the way you set aside the opportunity to…
You're better than average at…

2. Indicate appreciation
Express gratitude toward Someone for something they did yet weren't hoping to get said thanks to for – be particular about what it was and why it was useful or imperative; make certain to coby their manager.

3. Spread bliss
Grin and say "Hello there" to twice the same number of individuals as you ordinarily would – yet be certifiable in your grin.

4. Persuade others
Post another peppy publication, picture or quote at your work area where everybody can see it. Look at our (free) printable Career Happiness Manifesto!

5. Praise wins
Begin a meeting off by sharing something positive that is going ahead in your gathering, extend, work and so on. Urge others to do likewise.

6. Celebrate
Discover some event to celebrate with others, whether it be a venture development, birthday, new house, and so on. Go around a card for individuals to sign or make a sign.

7. Empower positive considering
Secretly post a positive quote or picture by the copier, espresso machine or elsewhere that gets high pedestrian activity so others can see.

8. Change the way you react
When somebody can't help contradicting you about something at work, think "how fascinating" rather than promptly getting cautious.

9. Go ahead
In the event that you have a meeting with just a single or two other individuals, make it a mobile meeting; get outside and get your blood pumping.

Do you click on the hyperlink out of curiosity or is it better to delete it.Daily basis, thousands of computer users unintentionally ingest and launch a Trojan horse virus and infect their home Laptop. 

Trojan viruses and malicious code are used to attack mobile platforms as well as personal computers. To define a Trojan horse, it's important first to describe what a Trojan horse conveys, which is a virus or malware.
Virus is usually self-replicating, whereas malware is non-replicating, but both are intended to cause damage to a computer and its resources.
Trojan  is a coded program which masks the existence of a virus or malware by making its appearance look normal while containing malicious utilities transparent to the user. 

Trojan is a type of malware that is often disguised as legitimate software. It can be employed by cyber-thieves and hackers trying to gain access to users' systems.

Reasons why Companies need human resources

By,
Prajakta

Regardless of the size of your company, it is important that you consider how the following HR-related responsibilities are being handled for your business.
 
1.Recruiting New Employees
At some point, each one business needs to recruit new employees…whether due to growth or turnover. An adequate recruiting process is key to an organization’s ability to grow and succeed.
 
2.Administering Employment Paperwork
I know…employment paperwork = BORING! But without it, your employees (and you!) wouldn’t get paid, taxes wouldn’t be properly recorded and would not be available to your staff. Don’t forget about worker’s compensation and unemployment – those items require lots of time and paperwork. Many small companies can be affected with these compliance-related tasks, but it is still necessary to perform these responsibilities..
 
3.Training & Employee Development
When a new employee is hired, who start the orientation session(s) in your company? Normally, it’s the head of the employee’s department and/or the HR manager. Without HR, new employees might fail to learn critical company policies, and might fall short of feeling truly incorporate into the organization’s culture. Human resources professionals often head up other training programs such as health and safety programs for employees also, sexual harassment or performance management training, too.
 
4.Compensation & Benefits Administration
When first accepting an offer with a company, some of the basic questions asked by new employees include “What is the salary?” and “What are the advantages?” HR typically handles all types of employee benefits, from insurance to educating employees about a adjustable consume account. Medical, dental, vision, life, disability…the list of insurance types alone can get very long. Your human resources department regulate these policies with the broker/provider and on behalf of the employee. HR business partners also manage advantage open enrolment for employees. When you have an issue with insurance, or a change in deductions for a flex account, addition, you will likely always seek out your HR guru first. Make sure your business has a “guru” resource.
 
5.Employee Relations & Evaluating Performance
Lastly, but certainly, not least – HR is usually tasked with defend a consistent and helpful performance evaluation process for employees. This is a big one! If policies are not being followed, the HR manager, in tie up with hiring managers/department heads, has to step in and correct the situation…whether it’s a safety issue; or, may be an employee not showing up to work on time.
This wheelhouse also add how well an employee is performing his/her function. Maybe the manager thought an employee would be a suitable for a position but it is not working out as expected. Could that employee shine elsewhere in the company? Performance evaluation also serves as a mechanism to review progress, and then effectively and adequately reward those that are doing a great job for a business.

As you can tell, there are MANY important duties that human resources perform in any company, of any size. Personal tasked with these types of duties play the role of cheerleader for the employee, and also serve as the middleman between management and the employee.
