How Lagos hopes a railway will end daily endurance test and change lives | World news. When Danladi Verheijen has to attend an important meeting, he doesn't know whether getting there will take 10 minutes or three hours. "You're going to upset someone," he says. "You're going to arrive very early or very late. It leads to massive loss of productivity. " Verheijen works in Lagos, one of the world's fastest growing megacities – and one of the most congested. The simplest journey here can be a trial of will. But Verheijen believes he can do something to break the deadlock. "I think it will dramatically change the face of Lagos," he said. "It's cheaper than the alternative, it's faster, it's safer, it's more reliable, it's more environmentally friendly. Many railways laid during Africa's colonial era have decayed due to neglect, leaving Cecil John Rhodes's Cape-to-Cairo fantasy more remote than ever.
But Lagos is badly in need of mass public transport beyond its recently introduced bus rapid transit system. It is hoped that a rail renaissance can be part of the solution.

Un salarié français coûte en moyenne 50 850 euros par an à son employeur. Un salarié français coûte en moyenne 50 850 euros par an à son employeur, pour un coût horaire du travail proche de 32 euros dans les entreprises de dix salariés ou plus du secteur marchand, selon des chiffres de 2008 publiés mercredi 23 février par l'Insee. Ce coût horaire moyen (31,82 euros) en 2008 masque de fortes disparités, puisqu'il varie de 21 à 49 euros selon le secteur d'activité. Il est le plus élevé dans le secteur des banques et des assurances (49,01 euros) et la production et distribution d'électricité et de gaz (46,09).
A l'autre bout de l'échelle, le coût est deux fois moindre dans l'hébergement-restauration (21,11 euros) et il reste inférieur à 30 euros dans le commerce et la construction. Le coût horaire croît avec la taille de l'entreprise. Ainsi, dans les entreprises manufacturières de plus de 1 000 salariés, il est supérieur de 50 % à celui des entreprises de 10 à 49 salariés. Electricity to be costlier by 24.15% in Delhi from July 1. PTI Jun 26, 2012, 07.48PM IST NEW DELHI: Electricity will cost more in Delhi from July one with power regulator DERC today raising domestic tariff by 24.15 per cent for the year 2012-13.
The Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) Chairman P D Sudhakar said the average hike is 20.87 per cent in all categories and domestic tarrif has been hiked by 24.15 per cent. The regulator had in August last year hiked the tariff by 22 per cent hike for all categories of consumers. The tariff was hiked by five per cent in February and by upto two per cent in May this year to adjust the power purchase cost of the distribution companies. All the three power distribution companies, BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd, BSES Yamuna Power Ltd and Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd have been pushing for a hefty hike citing their "severe" finacial condition. The two BSES discoms have said the situation has worsened due to absence of a cost-reflective tariff structure. Les Banksters et le système mondial.

The DeanBeat: Crowd-funding gives hope to mid-size game developers. Above: Brian Fargo Double Fine Productions turned video game funding practices upside down last week when it raised more than $1.75 million through the crowd-funding site Kickstarter in record time. That money will go toward the development of a new adventure game that would otherwise never have been made. Lack of funding has been putting a squeeze on a lot of mid-sized game development companies, but crowd-funding might turn that trend around.
“This could bring a wonderful dynamic change to our industry,” said Brian Fargo, chief executive of InXile Entertainment, in an interview. “It is a very exciting time to be a developer again.” Fargo has been making games since the 1980s, first at Electronic Arts, then at his own company Interplay Productions, and now at InXile. He recently relaunched The Bard’s Tale — originally developed in 1985 and remade in 2004 — on the iPhone and saw an outpouring of appreciation from nostalgic fans. Ahead Of Funding News, Boku Debuts NFC-Enabled Mobile Payments Platform For Carriers, Merchants And Consumers. Boku is debuting a brand new mobile payments platform today, that aims to disrupt the current way that consumers pay for goods via their mobile phones or credit cards.
As you may remember, Boku offers an online payments platform that allowed users to pay for online goods by charging the transaction to their mobile phone bill. When a user wants to purchase a virtual item, he can enter his cell phone number on a site, the site sends a text message to the phone, the user confirms the transaction with a short reply, and all the charges show up on his phone bill. With Boku’s new product, called Boku Accounts, the startup is expanding online mobile payments technology to cover e-commerce and retail point-of-sale payments.
The payments platform, which will be licensed to carriers, will be embedded on users’ mobile phones as well as via a pre-paid Mastercard credit card. Basically there are three prongs to Boku’s payments platform: the consumer, the carrier and the merchant. Interview Tips | How To Nail An Interview (20 Tips) Job Search.

Guía Comercial Gratuita - Empresas, Comercios y Profesionales en Chile. Entrepreneurship is an Art not a Job. Some men see things as they are and ask why.Others dream things that never were and ask why not.George Bernard Shaw Over the last decade we assumed that once we found repeatable methodologies (Agile and Customer Development, Business Model Design) to build early stage ventures, entrepreneurship would become a “science,” and anyone could do it.
I’m beginning to suspect this assumption may be wrong. Where Did We Go Wrong? It’s not that the tools are wrong, I think the entrepreneurship management stack is correct and has made a major contribution to reducing startup failures. Entrepreneurship is an Art not a Job For the sake of this analogy, think of two types of artists: composers and performers (think music composer versus members of the orchestra, playwright versus actor etc.) Founders fit the definition of a composer: they see something no one else does. Entrepreneurial employees are the talented performers who hear the siren song of a founder’s vision. Lessons Learned. Harmonic Economy. Home — Playframework. CORDIS: Technology Marketplace.

Information and knowledge are increasing at great speed. Our capacity to store, transmit and compute information has grown at an annual rate of 23 % since 1986.

Accept Notifications. Trabajo & Retiro. Can Entrepreneurs Be Made? - Anthony Tjan. Can you make — or “make over” — an entrepreneur? It’s a question that came up a lot as my co-authors and I researched our new book, Heart, Smarts, Guts and Luck. Those are the four traits we deemed crucial to entrepreneurial and business-building success. We even came up an Entrepreneurial Aptitude Test to measure how company founders and business builders stacked up in the different traits, and to help you identify where you’re strongest. But are people simply born with a certain combination of these traits, like DNA, or can Heart, Smarts, Guts, and Luck be taught, nurtured and developed? Luck is to a certain extent just plain luck, of course, but as I’ve written before, you can cultivate Luck by being open and humble, by having the right attitude and approach toward relationships and by building Lucky Networks. Heart — e.g. inner passion and purpose — is the strongest and most important trait among the business founders we surveyed. 1) Early Childhood Ventures, and Salesmanship.

Ledface wants to use the 'Collective Brain' to help solve problems. Ever dreamt of making others work to answer any of your questions? Well, Brazilian startup Ledface has bold ambitions. It wants to use what it calls “the collective brain”, in other words crowdsourcing, to solve your day to day problems.
It launched in private beta yesterday and we took it for a test drive. What Ledface is (and what it isn’t) Ledface is a crowdsourcing platform that aims to harness collective intelligence to answer questions. In practical terms, this means that selected groups of users can collaborate on the platform to develop the best answer. In case you’re wondering what makes Ledface different to the countless Q&A style sites out there, well it’s founders insist it isn’t a Q&A site: “Ledface is not a Q&A site. Besides offering a single answer for each question, the big difference with its competitors such as Quora is that contributions aren’t clearly attributed to their authors.
