What’s worse, the city’s official homicide statistics likely fall short of the mark because they omit prison-related murders as well as deaths that the state never gets around to properly “categorizing.” The numbers also don’t count those who died while “resisting arrest,” suggesting that Caracas’s cops—already known for their brutality against student protesters—might be cooking the books. Many have pointed the finger at El Presidente, whose government has failed to tackle the country’s rising rates of violent crime. In fact, since Chávez took over in 1998, Venezuela’s official homicide rate has climbed 67 percent—mostly due to increased drug and gang violence. Ramón Rodríguez Chacín, who recently resigned as interior minister, claimed in July that homicide has dropped 27 percent since January—but experts say he’s just playing with numbers. As for Caracas, some speculate that its murder rate is closer to 160 per 100,000.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1524546787165713024-8594290668940824677?l=callmechaand.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>be coolnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524546787165713024.post-7229238194649904532008-12-05T11:27:00.000+05:302008-12-05T11:28:18.955+05:30<span style="font-size:85%;">Role At the college of West Anglia we rely on the skills, experience and talents of our staff to bring education and development opportunities to a wide variety of individuals.

Blame your computer screen. A new study finds that bigger monitors make people more productive.<br />Researchers at the University of Utah tested how quickly people performed tasks like editing a document and copying numbers between spreadsheets while using different computer configurations: one with an 18-inch monitor, one with a 24-inch monitor and with two 20-inch monitors. Their finding: People using the 24-inch screen completed the tasks 52% faster than people who used the 18-inch monitor; people who used the two 20-inch monitors were 44% faster than those with the 18-inch ones. There is an upper limit, however: Productivity dropped off again when people used a 26-inch screen. (The order of the tasks and the order of computer configurations were assigned randomly.)<br />The study concluded that someone using a larger monitor could save 2.5 hours a day. But James Anderson, the professor in charge of the study, tells the Business Technology Blog to take that result with a grain of salt: It assumes that someone will work non-stop for eight hours, which no one will, and that the tasks they perform will all benefit from a larger screen, which isn’t always the case. But things like moving data between files are ideally suited to bigger or multiple screens. Anderson, who uses a computer with two 20-inch screens and one 24-inch one, recommends that businesses take the time to match employees with the proper size screen based on job requirements.<br />A caveat: The study was funded by NEC, which makes computer monitors. But Anderson says that it was vetted by the University’s research board. Also, he doesn’t care who businesses buy their monitors from – he just wants businesses to realize that the right monitor can make someone more productive. And if a tech department has to buy 500 of the same size in order to get a bulk discount? Buy the biggest ones you can, Anderson tells us. “Size matters,” he adds.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1524546787165713024-3524305744890642264?l=callmechaand.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>be coolnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524546787165713024.post-82489465637551363002008-12-05T11:17:00.000+05:302008-12-05T11:22:32.683+05:30<span style="font-size:85%;">Don't delay - access to "Effective Brochures for Your Jewelry Shopping Service" ends tonight<br />My ebook "Secrets of a Handcrafted Jewelry Shopping Service" has had a successful first week beyond my expectations.
