WHY DO WE USE KOTLIN ANDROID DEVELOPER?
By: Diya Santhoshi
Tags: Kotlin, Training, Education

Kotlin is an open-source, general-purpose, static copy programming language that ties functional programming and object-oriented to the Native, Android, and Browser. To better understand the programming language, enter the Best Kotlin Online course in the city and get to know more about it.

Many developers use Kotlin over Java, which conforms to the same byte code as Java and can communicate with java’s natural ways. Here are a few major advantages of java.

Using Shortcode

The shortest code is a low risk of coding errors. In Kotlin, the readability and the shortcode will be improved. Instead of ignoring lengthy code bugs, you should focus solely on the reasoning and consistency of the code.

Java Unity

Most Java libraries and development frameworks are combined correctly with Kotlin, as it simplifies the translation to Kotlin by Android app development organizations.

You can conveniently write codes in Kotlin, and even transfer Java codes to Kotlin if you’re private with Java. This is the primary reason that most of the developers in Android are switching to Kotlin. Study Kotlin with industry experts from the basic to advanced Kotlin App Creation levels at Kotlin Online Course.

App production cross-platform

Kotlin has been retaining the capacity to create smartphone applications and to develop Android software. Kotlin lets you write the Gradle code in Kotlin to encourage the mobile device developers to create an iOS app as well.

Kotlin’s capabilities are multithreading and parallel data updates. You then may opt to eliminate the need for constant change using the ideal immutable objects and functions.

Kotlin is most likely to become an Android app developer’s common option. In India, Android Developers, both Java and Kotlin, are a leading Android app development firm. However, most developers now rely more on Kotlin than on Java. Practice the full Kotlin technique in a limited amount of time.

Why Do I Do This?
By: Teboho Molapo
Tags: Perseverance, Life, Life Lessons, Training, Personal Development

Sometimes I ask myself why I do this. I almost died this morning. Why I am doing this? What are you trying to achieve?

It is a difficult question.

It is an unanswerable question for the most part. I do it because I have a dream. I do it because I have been told persistence pays off. I do it because Damon Dash said: “I’ve never in my life seen anyone play the game the way it was supposed to be played and not be successful. Never seen anyone with hard work and honesty hustle and not win.”

That’s why I do it.

But, damn, it is difficult. This morning I was dead on my feet at boxing training. We did the pads circuit twice and did some bag work, then we did some sparring. I think it is a little bit of the flu that I am fighting and also because I only slept about three hours.

My chest was unable to cope. I won’t say I couldn’t breathe because that’s going too far. But I struggled to get breath and to be upright and strong. That is boxing, it is the toughest thing I have ever done. Death is a daily occurrence in the gym.

So why do I do it? …

Because the proof is in the pudding. I have never been in this good of a physical shape in my life. I feel great. I feel strong and upright.

I am calm and quite focused in terms of maintaining tranquillity towards my day.
Who is Solutions Architect?

Tags: AWS, English, Training, Certification

Hello everyone,

In this article, I would like to talk about my job description. Who is Solutions Architect?

Who is Solutions Architect?

Solution Architects are responsible for constructing and managing a company’s cloud architecture. The title of solution architect is the title given to the people who provide guidance to these companies in developing cloud strategies, helping companies in their transition to the cloud, examining their architectures and how to solve their problems.

Solution architects create the information and infrastructure according to certain needs. It also integrates these items into projects. This often involves integrating software and infrastructure to best meet a customer-defined request. It also examines the architecture of its current system and performs investigations to suggest more effective solutions.

Solution Architects focus on the following when working on a problem:

Which technology can be used to solve the problem and how ?

What platform can be used to create a solution ?

How will works be scaled and protected for the future ?

What are the Role and Responsibilities of a Solution Architect in a Company?

The solution architect is responsible for creating a comprehensive architecture to produce solutions for a project or infrastructure and providing support throughout this process.

Working with the team to learn the requirements for the project, examine the infrastructure of the project, evaluate existing systems and provide the right solution is actually the biggest role of a solution architect.

As its title suggests, a solution architect focuses primarily on solution-level decisions and evaluating their impact on the client’s overall business goals and results.
Olympians’ Ready Set Wait
Tags: Olympics, Training, Tokyo, Athletes, Fitness

Photo by Kyle Dias on Unsplash

The Summer Olympics in Tokyo, which were postponed this summer with the rapid spread of Covid around the world, are slated to begin in July of 2021. How has the postponement hurt or helped Japan? What about the athletes and training and qualifying?

Hosting the Olympics is a massive financial drain on cities and countries, sending some into a downward spiral of debt and abandoned facilities. Greece and Brazil are prime examples of this. Countries are forced to spend millions — if not billions — building state-of-the-art arenas and venues, and upgrading infrastructures. Japan is the third largest economy in the world, but is not immune to financial losses due to Covid. The cost of hosting the Olympics in Tokyo has been estimated at $28 billion dollars and loss due to the postponement at more than $2 billion.

What about the athletes?

The Olympic athletes train with a certain schedule in mind, namely that they peak just at the right time for optimal competitiveness. Many Olympic athletes have a limited window to compete, whether age or financial constraints come into play. Four years between each Olympics is already an eternity, but one that is factored into everything the Olympic athletes do. Training schedules have now had to calculate in the extra year. Being another year older will have an impact on many athletes, someone like Ryan Lochte or Keri Walsh Jennings.

Also, with facilities across the globe dealing with Covid, how and where athletes can prepare must also be a consideration, especially for any team events.

Then there’s the unknown of what the world will be like in 2021. Will we be post-Covid or will there be difficulties in distributing vaccines, meaning the virus is still a major concern? There’s no real data, yet, on how long the vaccine’s protection will even last. There’s no real data on what any side effects might be.

The Olympics will move forward as planned for now. Tokyo will proceed as if the Olympics are happening in July next year. There’s no real alternative. And many athletes, even the older ones, have looked at this delay as a time to get even better. But I’m sure there’s heartache for some who won’t be able to afford training for another year or whose bodies won’t let them get back to Olympic form. In the end, though, I guess that’s what the Olympics have always been about: glory for some, agony for others.

I hope we all get to watch the magic of the games next year. The world needs a strong dose of magic.

What We’ve Learned About Learning
By: Scott Young
Tags: Behavior Change, Behavioral Science, Training, Learning, Nudge

Over the past several years, my colleagues and I at BVA Nudge Unit have introduced many organizations to the power and core principles of Behavioral Science. In doing so, we’ve often encountered a familiar dynamic:

People leave the room (or the Zoom call) energized and eager to apply new thinking to their business challenges. And then, nothing happens. They return to their offices, meetings and colleagues — and fall right back into familiar patterns.

In fact, this Intent to Action gap (and its sidekick, the Forgetting Curve) applies to training of all kinds. Over $87.6 Billion is spent annually on corporate training and development (in the United States alone!) and it is often claimed that 80% of all training dollars are wasted. While this figure is debatable, we all know — often from personal experience — that most training sessions don’t lead to consistent behavior change.

The primary reason is quite clear: Most training simply doesn’t take into account all we’ve learned about how people actually learn, nor how to actually change their behavior. For example, traditional training is typically:

Conducted among large groups, within specific extended blocks of time (driven primarily by the convenience of the trainer or organizer).

Dominated by a teacher, introducing new material (at the same pace for all participants)

Evaluated via immediate feedback from participants, based on how much they “liked” or “valued” the session (before they’ve even had a chance to apply the learning).

Yet this ignores several core realities about learning:

We all learn best in small doses (as our Cognitive Load is limited).

We all learn at our own pace (as our speed, strengths and interests vary)

Most importantly, we all “learn by doing” (rather than by listening).

In short, there appears to be a significant gap or tension between training (as commonly practiced) and learning and application (the end-goal of most efforts). By focusing on Training, organizations are not optimizing their efforts to help people actually learn and change.

By focusing on Training, organizations are not optimizing their efforts to help people actually learn and change

So when my colleagues and I set out to develop a new solution for helping organizations apply Behavioral Science, we had to turn the traditional “training model” on its head. We needed to apply the latest in Behavioral Science learning to the challenge of teaching, infusing, and applying Behavioral Science. But what exactly did this mean?

Re-Thinking The Format 🖼

We replaced group classroom sessions with short, pre-produced videos introducing key concepts (such heuristics and System 1/ System 2 Thinking), which people could watch individually at their own pace. These Distributed Learning sessions are linked to brief quizzes which were intended to reinforce knowledge (rather than evaluate), because we know that Test-Enhanced Learning promotes better retention than simply listening or reading.
The Reflection of Home Training 🇳🇬
By: Kehinde Arije
Tags: Protect, Nation Building, Home, Training, Nigeria

“Home Training” This means a lot to any growing child in my days. It’s relative, and passes some important messages.

It's cross-gender and not bias of our age class. Once spoken, it activates a reset button and queries your moral standards all the way home.

Though the language was abused and replaced as an insult for some derogatory remarks. But the actual logic behind it was pure Reset!

The home is the first institution of a state. It gives you an idea of who an individual is, the values they posses and how best you can place your sense of judgement on their potentials or more.

No matter how far we journey to other countries around the world, we’re identified by our origin before other virtues or disciplines present itself for recognition.

The home is a huge determining factor of early successes. Though proven methodologies can argue this further but the home represents a huge part of our lives. If you’re making a decision to start a family, ensure the foundation is solid because of your seeds.

If you think 🇳🇬 is not good enough and you represent an origin of this land, you may consider choosing your words wisely to international communities or your friends on social media.

The Home places a remarkable role in our lives. Let’s protect it!💪

Where My Diversity and Inclusion Class Got it Wrong
By: The Underpiece
Tags: Inclusion, Diversity, Equality, Training, Workplace

Well, both these statements are actually inherently problematic. They perpetuate the concept of a us versus them. Both of these pieces of advice simply emphasize the idea that we are different. They put our differences in the spotlight rather than our similarities. By assuming someone wants different treatment because they look different or have different beliefs, you are doing just that, assuming. Inclusion is supposed to involve the absence of assumptions.

I want to be treated only one way. With respect. Respect is universal.

This idea that you have to go through mental gymnastics every time you talk to someone who is “different” just makes them feel like a burden. And that’s exactly how I felt the entire lesson. Like a burden. Like talking to me is a chore. You have to go through ten extra steps just to not offend me.

Let me tell you the real secret to interacting with someone. Anyone. Just don’t be weird about it. Don’t try to be extra nice. Don’t be rude. If something would offend you, it’ll offend me too. Just be respectful. Let me give you an example.

“You would look so pretty if you didn’t wear that scarf”. I’ve hear this tons of times. This is what is universally known as a backhanded compliment. Same category as “You’d look so much skinnier in that dress” or “You look so good with makeup on”. You don’t need to be Muslim to know that this isn’t a compliment. It’s an insult in disguise. It’s common sense.

Here’s another example to show how simple this is.

“Can I touch your hair?”. My Black friend has had this question asked tons of times, too. You don’t need to be Black to know that you don’t just touch people. The concept of personal space is, again, universal. It has nothing to do with race.

Understanding diversity and inclusion is that simple. If you wouldn’t like the question or statement, neither will anyone else. No matter what race, ethnicity, religion, identity, ability. You name it.

To demonstrate how wrong things went at the training, this is what happened during one of the lessons. One of my coworkers looked at me and apologized. I was confused because my coworker didn’t do anything that warranted an apology. She was sorry for complimenting my hijab. She regretted complimenting me on it because she realized that it may have offended me. She realized that although she liked receiving compliments for her clothes, it didn’t mean that I felt the same. To me, this made it clear that I was officially the other.

Treating someone differently isn’t inclusion.

The whole point of being inclusive is that people don’t feel like the other. They don’t feel different. By treating one group of people a certain way and not another, then you are automatically excluding them. What people want isn’t to be treated more differently. We just want to be treated the same. Same opportunities. Same interactions. Same conversations. Assuming someone’s version of nice is different from yours isn’t inclusion. That was never the problem.
Train this way. You won’t regret it.

I was going to lengthen this out and give you a full backstory about my life with fitness etc but who really cares. Here’s how to give yourself the best opportunity to consistently overload in the gym and give yourself the best chance of growth. Giving obviously your nutrition and sleep etc isn’t a disaster.

To build muscle you need to increase your workload in some shape or form each workout, everyone knows that but so few people are able to do or even know how to go about consistently making that a reality. Here’s how I do it.

Every time I go into the gym I do four exercises split into two groups of two exercises being paired together. Here for example was my workout today;

Front squats paired with dumbbell side raises, then leg press paired with dumbbell shoulder press. I set a target of 50 reps for front squats and 50 reps for side raises. I chose one weight for each and keep it the same throughout. I then go between the two exercises until I reach the rep target. This is how I write it out:

50FrontSquat-80kg-10,10,8,8,7,7

50DBSideRaises-12.5kg-12,11,9,6,6,6

— — — — — —

80LegPress-150kg-15,15,15,12,12,11

50DBShoulderPress-17.5kg-11,10,9,8,8,4

The number of sets you take to do it doesn’t matter, obviously for your own sanity you probably shouldn’t make it 50 reps of your 90% rep max cause it could be a long day but what training this way allows you is full control of overload. The next time I come in I have two choices, I either aim for 60 reps of front squats at 80kg or I move up to 82.5kg. Likewise for side raises and so forth with the same ideology for all of my movements.

Because of the limited number of exercises you choose each workout, it’s best to pick compound lifts wherever possible. I’ve been sticking to this training for the past 2 months and my strength and size have increased at a faster rate than in the past 5 years. I am not a PT, nor a sports scientist but I have spent over 10 years experimenting, researching, and learning about training styles.

This idea of overload is nothing new but this approach to guaranteeing you achieve it every workout might just be for you. Certainly is for me.

New Sexual Harassment Prevention Training Guidelines For California Businesses In The New Year
By: Sisu Vr
Tags: Empowerment, California, Human Resources, Training, Business

Catalyzed by the “Me Too” movement in 2018, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill (SB) 1343 and SB 778 to update the requirement of how many employees a company must have before they provide anti-sexual harassment training. Since 2005, employers with 50 or more employees were required to provide such training. Starting January 1st, 2021, employers with 5 or more employees must now provide sexual harassment prevention training, including to non-supervisors.

For supervisory employees, the sexual-harassment training and education is to be at least two hours total. For non-supervisory employees, the requirement is at least one hour. The training must be renewed and retaken every two years. Additionally, the training can be broken up into parts rather than taken all in one sitting. All employers must have records of when their employees have taken their training.

In the case of temporary or seasonal workers, the employer must provide sexual harassment prevention training 30 days within their hire date. If the employee will work there less than six months, then they shall be provided this training within 100 hours worked.

Providing the training may be more challenging due to Covid-19, as many workers are staying at home or reducing the amount of time spent outside their home. Fortunately, in-person training is not required, and the training can be taken either in a group or solo. Sisu VR has our own training that can be taken individually. As long as the two hours for supervisory and one hour for non-supervisory requirement is met within the requirements.

Tags: Creativity, Training, Origami, Manualwork

Origami (Japanese: 折 り 紙) or “the art of paper and up” is one of the most popular Japanese crafts that is very popular today all over the world.

The purpose of this art is to create interesting designs from paper with the help of geometric shapes.

The literal meaning of the word in Japanese is “folding paper” and it includes all models of paper and folds, even those that are not Japanese.

Origami uses only a handful of different tassels, but the same tassels can be combined in a variety of ways to create different designs.

Generally, these designs start with a square sheet of paper, each side of which may be a different color, and continue without cutting the paper.

Origami is the method of presenting shapes, which is mainly achieved by bending the material used on paper.

What is a Warehouse Management System (WMS)? Part 4
By: Yanguei Aw
Tags: Warehouse, Supply Chain, Supply Chain Management, Warehouse Management, Logistics

What’s a “Putaway” in Warehouse Management?

Inventory(often referred to as stock) requires to be stored into the warehouse. The process of moving the inventory from the receiving area to the storage locations, such as Rack location, BIN location or pigeonhole location, is called ‘Put Away’. We usually called it ‘putaway’, a non-English word but widely used in logistics and warehouse management.

A decent warehouse management system allows users to set putaway rules for easy management and administration of all the inbound goods.

For example, all snack items are to be putaway to rack locations, all liquid items (such as mineral water) are to be putaway to floor locations.

Simple? Let’s make it a bit more difficult. For the snack items, putaway to the normal rack locations, however, if the expiration date is less than 6 months, putaway to a list of predefined locations in accordance to certain sequences such as lowest location first from left to right.

Basic Warehouse Process

Putaway rules may turn out to be complicated and hard to maintain, hence it is best to simplify the rules unless you have no choice. The ‘no choice’ part is commonly tied to things such as physical limitations or regulations. For example, food items should not be stored near chemical items to avoid contamination by the odour emitted by the chemical items.

Pharmaceutical items are highly regulated so there are many rules to follow when storing them in the warehouse. And it should be! If you know of any pharmaceutical item comes from a warehouse not using a good warehouse management system, you will highly likely inform your family members, relatives and friends, to never consume these products.

A good warehouse management system makes it easy for warehouse operations to execute these putaway tasks. Humans are not good at memorising all the rules, and humans have different standards when they are dealing with common sense. Read this book ‘Dodge It If you Can’ on real-life stories about human standards on common sense.

When you are implementing a warehouse management system, always choose an implementation team who has the domain knowledge and experience in providing putaway best practices and able to guide you in setting up these putaway rules.
What The Procurement Market Actually Looks Like
By: Mathilde Lyet
Tags: Supply Chain, Procurement, Venture Capital

Not many things are as essential but still so badly misunderstood as procurement.

T o the vast majority of people, procurement was always a faceless cog in the business machine. It churned out the purchases we make for our companies, and… that’s about it. Yes, it had an important administrative role, but really it was just a gray, mechanical facet with neither personality nor potential.

Now, however, investors are rethinking this ancient view. They’re realising that procurement touches all areas of the business, from analysis to long-term planning. They’re seeing how procurement startups are embedding razor’s-edge digital technologies to unlock new insights in their data — insights that can benefit the entire business. In a post-pandemic world where supply chains have to be strengthened and even rebuilt from scratch, procurement is suddenly a key part of the solution.

But just how far does that potential stretch? Just how big a role can procurement play in the new normal?

To answer this question, we need to break the market down to all its core components. And to do so we’ve chatted to several experts, including Jacob Gorm Larsen, who helms the digital procurement team here at Maersk, and Dr. Christian Heinrich, co-founder of scoutbee.com, an AI-driven supply discovery platform which completed a €54 million Series B in January.

Together, we’ve broken down the procurement market into the following structure:
The Increasing Need For Traceability In Pharma Supply Chain
By: Healthcare Business Review
Tags: Supply Chain, Healthcare, Technology, Pharmaceutical, Technews

As the current pharma supply chain is challenged by the lack of visibility and a number of new compliance regulations, most companies seek enhanced traceability. Pharmaceutical companies must adopt tracking technology to ensure product integrity and achieve global compliance.

Drug counterfeiting is a well-known and documented problem affecting human lives, but also the pharmaceutical industry reputation and ROIs. Within the United States, the FDA has enforced and implemented the Drug Supply Chain Security Act to protect consumers against counterfeit drugs. Act to protect consumers against falsified medicinal products. The Global Traceability Standard for Healthcare (GTSH) defines international process standard, explains and sets minimum requirements for all stakeholders in the healthcare supply chain. However, full implementation as a cohesive solution of global traceability standards is still in progress. Blockchain can be a comprehensive, all-inclusive solution which saves lives and dollars seamlessly in the future.

Critical support for combating counterfeit medicines and vaccines are substantial investments. Indeed, in the folding carton sector, anti-counterfeiting and safety procedures will continue to play a major role. The traceability solutions are one of the four biggest technological developments set to transform the market by 2022, according to the report by the design office of Smithers Pira titled “The Future of Folding Cartons to 2022.”

Indeed, when a drug package can be identified, the risk of receiving a fake product is reduced drastically. Increasing traceability procedures should help a huge worldwide counterfeiting industry, estimated at more than $200 billion worldwide in 2017 by the World Economic Forum.

In the pharmaceutical industry, serialization should help to monitor the supply chain and fight against the spread of fraudulent drugs and vaccines. The process can also bring additional benefits, including a more precise view of inventories with a better history of the origin and quality of the goods purchased. These advantages may also apply to other sectors facing counterfeiting hazards.

Serialization is a chance to modernize current traceability systems. This win-win model would significantly enhance action against parallel markets by controlling the supply chain and applying best practices driven by data. To ensure compliance with customer requirements and eliminate fake products from the global market, the pharmaceutical supply chain should be transformed with the largest track-and-trace network.

Incentivizing suppliers to share data

Data has never been so vital. And if you do not have full visibility into data, you will not have enough insight towards making decisions. But how do you get this data? This data about not just your suppliers but your suppliers’ suppliers and further downstream. And why would these entities share their data with you? How do you incentivize them to share this data, to come on board a common platform?

Pilot Story: Can a multi-purpose UAV operation in Malawi help realise the impact of UAVs in development and humanitarian contexts? Ruth McPake Follow Dec 23, 2020 · 1 min read

See the story of the pilot and our insights on UAVs here

“Since the introduction of air logistics, service delivery at the hospital has exponentially increased to accommodate the increased demand for healthcare evidenced at district health centres.” Daniel Mvumbe, Riders for Health

The Frontier Technologies Hub has been working with Swoop Aero and UNICEF in Malawi to test the potential of UAVs to support medical supply chains, conduct mapping flights and provide data for flood modelling and, crucially to explore whether a multi purpose operation offers cost efficiencies that might lead to long term financial sustainability.

In this pilot story, we reflect on what we’ve learned over the course of this year as priorities shifted in response to the pandemic.

* Sourcing- It is about the gathering of raw materials for the sake of product manufacture. From where the raw materials can be imported at an affordable price, how they will bring it to the factory, consulting with the logistic group and other suppliers are also fall under this stage.

* Plant location- Another vital part of choosing the right site for the factory. For example, if any the factory is producing oil, it better to plant a factory near the farm to avoid unnecessary transport costing if possible.

* Manufacturing — The prime sector where the products are being made and packaged following specific protocols and guidelines. After completing, testing those products to check the quality and storing the data take place.
