February 2013 issue of Profit Magazine

Your February 2013 issue of Profit is now available athttp://www.profitmagazine-digital.com/profitmagazine/201302/

Just after Oracle acquired cloud-based talent management company Taleo in early 2012, the company's former vice president of research, David Wilkins shared some statistics with me about the challenging environment managers face competing for workers in the global marketplace: the US faces a deficit of 3 million workers with post-secondary degrees, China a shortfall of 70,000 executives capable of leading global expansion, and 70 percent of German companies report challenges finding the "right people."

But managers are certainly not helpless in the face of headwind in the global talent market. With the right talent management strategies, corporate culture, IT tools, and (of course) people, many organizations can be inoculated against the skills malaise. But it will require long-term vision and early action.

This issue of Profit looks at some of the forces at work in the market and some of the smart, creative efforts Oracle customers are making to address talent issues in their organizations. I hope the stories prove useful as we face the coming skills gap together.

HTML 5 and CSS 3: Provide Great Benefits in Future Web

HTML 5 and CSS 3: Provide Great Benefits in Future Web
Design - HTML 5 Spells an Online Revolution

By Robert Playford Copyright © 2012

(This Article is an introduction to the 'HTML 5 & CSS 3
Elements' collection.)

HTML 5 combined with CSS 3 will soon be featuring on all websites within the near future. Both of these elements will
provide a simpler, more interactive and better looking internet. Websites will be easier to design and code. The
first working draft specification for the new html was launched at the beginning of 2008 by the World Wide Web
Consortium.

What is HTML 5?

This is the new coding of the web which will enable better integration of video, audio and user interface within
websites. HTML describes the full content of any given web page from headings and titles to overall content. HTML 5
replaces the old style of coding which was HTML 4. This was first launched in 1997. In the 90's, HTML 4 was perfect for
the needs of the average website which would contain mostly text and images. The old HTML code is now struggling to meet the demands of the media rich websites of today, so this upgrade is definitely overdue.

What is CSS 3?

CSS or 'Cascading Style Sheets' determine how the content appears to the user within a specific browser. This includes anything from colours, fonts and backgrounds. CSS 2 which was released just a year after HTML 4 and was proficient at providing the necessary styles for those websites of the 90's. CSS 2 was restricted to a handful of fonts, styles and effects. As previously mentioned, websites are more demanding these days and as a result CSS 3 is built with many more visually appealing and structurally complex elements.


Why do we need to change?

The average online user these days will not just expect to just read content and view images on a website. We take it
for granted that our websites will provide high quality videos, chatting interfaces, ability to watch tv or listen
to the radio and the ability to collaborate on work projects. HTML 4 is really struggling these days and simply
cannot cope. Web Developers are more reliant than ever on third party plugins and web applications that fill in the
blanks whenever the old code format cannot perform. 

This article acts an introduction to this topic. The subsequent articles within the 'HTML 5 and CSS 3' Collection
will take a more in depth look at the features we can expect to see from both HTML 5 and CSS 3. A brief outline of these
components are included below: 

What will change with HTML 5 and CSS 3?

• Visual Effects - Elements such as round corners and drop shadows are much easier to code
• Better Styles for Tables - The makeup and look of tables is vastly improved
• Custom Fonts
• New Forms and Validation - Native Functionality, no scripting needed for validation so less overall code
• Web Sockets - Providing a much quicker way of online data transfer and communication, can receive real time  updates from servers.
• Better Offline Access - with internet rich applications that will store more information such as emails to view even offline.
• Geo Location
• Easy Transformation and Animations - Less time wasted writing JavaScript for simple animations
• No Plugins - No longer will we have to rely on third party plugins for audio, video or interactivity.
• Canvas - A native form of drawing functionality on the web with loads of various applications

How to improve Communication Skils

The following contents are taken from    [SteenConsulting Warrior Member]

 

"At the core of all interaction is communication. Without effective communication skills, relationships suffer.

Therefore it is essential to continually foster and practice effective communication skills. It is important to understand what factors break down good communication and what skills are needed to develop effective communication.

First, what makes communication difficult?

Communication is difficult because there are three common problems that cause confusion, misunderstanding, and in time, create barriers in business.

The first problem lies in the non-verbal aspect of communication. There are three parts to a message and when communicating we tend to focus on the actual talking piece. However, there is a more influential part of our message, the non-verbal piece. Many don't realize that communication is 55% non-verbal and 38% tone of voice and attitude. This means the actual speaking piece is only a small part of our message. So, your body language and tone of voice have a much greater influence on your message than what you are actually saying. Here lies the first problem in communication; our body language and tone could be saying one thing when our actual words are saying something else.

The second problem is that people communicate differently. People have different communication styles and temperaments. Some people are direct to the point people, while others are quiet and easy-going. A direct to the point person could come across as pushy or bossy to a person who is quiet or soft. Others tend to make quick decisions while some need to have deep reasoning to make a choice. People process information and communicate differently. These differences can cause barriers to be created making effective communication more difficult.

The third problem is that we tend to judge people who are different. We expect people to be like us, and if they're not, we perceive those differences to be wrong. Obviously, they are not wrong, they just communicate differently than you or I. By default, we are attracted to people who are like us; who have the same personality or the same thoughts. But, when someone is different or have a different opinion than us we might avoid or not communicate with them.

A few tips to help you communicate better..."
