As the subject states, Globe's Usability Team is recognized as the Certified Usability Analyst of the Month at HFI's website (http://humanfactors.com/training/cuaofthemonth.asp). And yes, we are often as happy as the picture shows. :)

This is the first time that the CUA of the month is from the Philippines. :)

We must be proud to be PILIPINO!!!

Imagine a world without Filipinos
Abdullah Al-Maghlooth | Al-Watan, almaghlooth@ alwatan.com. sa

Muhammad Al-Maghrabi became handicapped and shut down his flower and gifts shop business in Jeddah after his Filipino workers insisted on leaving and returning home. He says: �When they left, I felt as if I had lost my arms. I was so sad that I lost my appetite.�
Al-Maghrabi then flew to Manila to look for two other Filipino workers to replace the ones who had left. Previously, he had tried workers of different nationalities but they did not impress him. �There is no comparison between Filipinos and others,� he says. Whenever I see Filipinos working in the Kingdom, I wonder what our life would be without them.
Saudi Arabia has the largest number of Filipino workers � 1,019,577 � outside the Philippines. In 2006 alone, the Kingdom recruited more than 223,000 workers from the Philippines and their numbers are still increasing. Filipinos not only play an important and effective role in the Kingdom, they also perform different jobs in countries across the world, including working as sailors. They are known for their professionalism and the quality of their work.
Nobody here can think of a life without Filipinos, who make up around 20 percent of the world�s seafarers. There are 1.2 million Filipino sailors.
So if Filipinos decided one day to stop working or go on strike for any reason, who would transport oil, food and heavy equipment across the world? We can only imagine the disaster that would happen.
What makes Filipinos unique is their ability to speak very good English and the technical training they receive in the early stages of their education. There are several specialized training institutes in the Philippines, including those specializing in engineering and road maintenance. This training background makes them highly competent in these vital areas.
When speaking about the Philippines, we should not forget Filipino nurses. They are some 23 percent of the world�s total number of nurses. The Philippines is home to over 190 accredited nursing colleges and institutes, from which some 9,000 nurses graduate each year. Many of them work abroad in countries such as the US, the UK, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Singapore.
Cathy Ann, a 35-year-old Filipino nurse who has been working in the Kingdom for the last five years and before that in Singapore, said she does not feel homesick abroad because �I am surrounded by my compatriots everywhere.� Ann thinks that early training allows Filipinos to excel in nursing and other vocations. She started learning this profession at the age of four as her aunt, a nurse, used to take her to hospital and ask her to watch the work. �She used to kiss me whenever I learned a new thing. At the age of 11, I could do a lot. I began doing things like measuring my grandfather�s blood pressure and giving my mother her insulin injections,� she said.
This type of early education system is lacking in the Kingdom. Many of our children reach the university stage without learning anything except boredom.
The Philippines, which you can barely see on the map, is a very effective country thanks to its people. It has the ability to influence the entire world economy.
We should pay respect to Filipino workers, not only by employing them but also by learning from their valuable experiences.
We should learn and educate our children on how to operate and maintain ships and oil tankers, as well as planning and nursing and how to achieve perfection in our work. This is a must so that we do not become like Muhammad Al-Maghrabi who lost his interest and appetite when Filipino workers left his flower shop.We have to remember that we are very much dependent on the Filipinos around us. We could die a slow death if they chose to leave us.

Two PhD Scholarships

University of Erfurt, Germany (Germany)

Commencing 1 November 2008 the University of Erfurt will award two
doctoral scholarships via the Center of Empirical Research in Economic
and Behavioral Sciences (CEREB) and one post-doctoral scholarship for
women via the University of Erfurt.

The Center for Empirical Research in Economics and Behavioral Science
(CEREB) is a collaboration of researchers in economics, psychology and
organizational management. The members of the CEREB combine scientific
theory and empirical methods in their work in order to answer important
social questions. The researchers take advantage of synergies of
interdisciplinarity and cooperate with international research facilities.

Successful candidates will be able to work in an outstanding research
environment. They will profit from an innovative conception of mutual
team support and an intensive mentoring programme. With their research
they will be integrated into cross-disciplinary research teams, and in
this research-oriented environment will receive systematic preparation
for either an academic or non-academic career. The research-oriented
graduate training will be effectively supported by a corresponding
program of study and further education. The CEREB offers an
interdisciplinary doctoral colloquium, workshops, a short lecture
program, and financial support for participation in conferences.

Applicants for Scholarships must hold a Master�s or equivalent degree
with top marks, or a PhD in one of the relevant core areas. Scholarships
for PhD candidates are �1,000 per month and run for a period of up to 3
years. Postdoctoral scholarships are �1,500 per month and run for a
period of up to 3 years. Material and travel expenditures will also be
paid. In Erfurt each scholar will have a workstation at his disposal.
Scholars are requested to reside in Erfurt for the duration of their
scholarship. Participation in seminars of the respective graduate school
or the mentoring research teams is mandatory.

A small number of other doctoral scholarships are available for
outstanding individual projects in the humanities and social sciences.
The documents required for application include: - Proposal of the
dissertation or post-doc project (ca. 5 pages, including research
question, status quo of the research in the field, methodological
approach and hypotheses, time and work schedule) - Curriculum vitae -
Copy of the first university degree - Copy of the final or doctoral
thesis - Letter of recommendation by a professor

Applications may be submitted to: Erfurt University, Vizepr�sidium f�r
Forschung und wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs, Nordh�user Str. 63, D-99084
Erfurt. Applications must be submitted in writing and electronically.

6 Ways You're Wasting Gas

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- With all the worry over fuel prices, you'd think drivers would do whatever they can not to waste gas. But look around and you'll see lots of them tooling around as if they owned their own tanker fleet. One of them might be you.

Here are six ways drivers typically waste gas on every trip:

1. Racing away from green lights

When the light turns green, you don't have to take off as quickly as possible. That pedal under your right foot is called the "gas pedal" for a good reason. The more you press down on it, the more gas you're pumping into the engine.

Press lightly on the gas pedal, and you'll still accelerate, and you'll still get where you're going. You might be surprised at how little pressure it takes to get your car up to speed in a reasonable time.

2. Racing up to red lights

When you're driving down the street, and you see a light red light or stop sign up ahead, you should lay off the gas sooner rather than later.

There's no point in keeping your foot on the gas until just before you reach the intersection. Let off the pedal sooner and give your engine a rest as you coast to the stop while braking gently. As an added benefit, your brake pads will last longer, too.

By themselves, these first two tips can improve your fuel economy around town by as much as 35 percent, according to tests conducted by automotive information Web site Edmunds.com.

3. Confusing the highway with a speedway

Even if it doesn't involve hard acceleration, speeding wastes gas. The faster you go, the more air your vehicle has to push out of the way. It's like moving your hand through water. The faster you try to move your hand, the harder the water pushes back.

In tests by Consumer Reports, driving at 75 miles per hour instead of 65 miles per hour reduced fuel economy by between 3 and 5 miles per gallon, depending on the vehicle.

4. Bumper-buzzing

Tailgating is a bad move for many reasons. First of all, it's unsafe. You reduce your ability to react if the car in front of you slows or stops. It also means you have to pay ultra-close attention to that car which reduces your ability to scan for other hazards ahead of you and to the sides.

And tailgating wastes gas. Every time the driver ahead taps his brakes, you have to slow down even more than he did. (That's because you can't react immediately so you have to slow even more because you're slowing down later.) Then you accelerate again to get back up to speed and resume your bumper-buzzing routine.

Hang back and you'll be safer - plus you'll be able to drive more smoothly and use less fuel. A good rule of thumb is to allow two seconds of space between your car and the one ahead. You can figure that out by counting off two seconds after the car in front of you passes an obvious landmark like an overpass.

5. Driving standing still

You've probably heard that it takes more gas to restart a car than to let it run. Maybe that used to be true, but it isn't anymore. With modern fuel-injection engines, it takes very little extra gas to restart a car once it's warmed up.

Idling, meanwhile, burns about a half-mile worth of gas every minute, according to the California Energy Commission. That's why hybrid cars shut down their gasoline engines whenever they stop, even for a moment.

Now you don't want to shut your engine down for every little stop in your regular, non-hybrid car - it's not designed for that - but if you're waiting for someone to run in and out of a convenience store, turn off the engine.

And don't go through the drive-through at fast food restaurants. You're already paying enough for the oil in those chicken nuggets.

Bonus tip: Don't idle your engine to let it warm up before driving. It does your engine no good and it wastes gas. Instead, start driving right away, but drive gently until the engine is warm.

6. Short hops

For really short trips, take advantage of the opportunity to get some exercise. Try walking to the store instead of driving. You can save gas and burn a few calories instead.

If you can't hoof it, save up your errands. A lot of short hops that let the engine cool down at home between trips can use twice as much gas as starting the car once and making a big sweep to all your stops, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Go to your farthest destination first so your engine has a chance to reach its optimal operating temperature. Then make your other stops on the way back. With the engine warmed up, the car will restart easily and run efficiently all the way home.

Hello Friends,

I have had several inquiries regarding the cancellation of "Corporate Communications 2.0: Corporate Blogging" and I would like to clarify that the event will push through as scheduled on March 7, 2008, 9am-4pm at the SGV Casroom at the Asian Institute of Management. The message regarding the event cancellation was an automatically generated message from Google Calendar as a result of a guest list management task I overlooked. (How's THAT for corporate communications? :P)

I apologize for any confusion and I hope you would still support the event. Thanks for your understanding.

PS.

PhD candidate
University of Amsterdam
(Noord-Holland) , 38 hours per week

Job description
Function title: PhD candidate
The aim of this research is to reformulate the mind-body problem (how do psychological phenomena relate to neurological phenomena?) as a measurement problem, by focusing on the question how we should combine physical and psychological indicators in a single measurement structure.

The research will comprise three sub-projects. In the first, different positions that have been articulated in the philosophy of mind - such as identity theory and supervenience - will be translated into different psychometric models. In the second sub-project, these models will be applied to existing datasets involving a) the relation between IQ and physical properties of the brain (e.g. brain volume), b) the relation between EEG measures of speed of processing and IQ, and c) the relation between anatomical differences in the brain and different kinds of synesthetic experience. In the third sub-project, the prospects for a reductive explanation of inter-individual differences on the basis of intra-individual processes will be evaluated according to theoretical insights taken from the philosophical literature on reduction.

Tasks:

* To carry out the research
* To publish the results
* To write a successful dissertation
* While the focus will be on research (and research training), the tasks will include minor teaching duties

Requirements
Required education/skills: Candidates must hold (or will soon be awarded) a research-oriented Master's or equivalent in Psychology. They should have demonstrable knowledge in at least one, and preferably more, of the following areas: psychometrics, psychonomics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science.

The envisaged starting date for this position is 1 April 2008.
Job type: Research / Advising
Workfield(s) :
- Research trainees, non-tenured lecturers, researchers( Scientific discipline: Behaviour and Society)

Organization
University of Amsterdam
The University of Amsterdam (UvA) is a university with an internationally acclaimed profile, located at the heart of the Dutch capital. As well as a world centre for business and research, Amsterdam is a hub of cultural and media activities. The UvA is a member of the League of European Research Universities.

The Faculty serves 7,500 students in numerous Bachelor's and Master's programmes in Political Science, Sociology, Anthropology, Communication Science, Psychology, Social Geography, Planning and International Development Studies, and Educational Sciences. The academic staff is employed in education as well as research. There are over 1,100 employees at the Faculty department, which resides in a number of buildings in the centre of Amsterdam.

Conditions of employment
Employment basis: Temporary for specified period
Duration of the contract: see below
Maximum hours per week: 38
Additional conditions of employment:
The appointment will be for a period of four years (one year plus a further three years after a positive evaluation) and should lead to a dissertation. The gross monthly salary will be in accordance with the University regulations for academic personnel, and will range from �2000 (first year) up to a maximum of �2558 (fourth year).

Scholarships for the Graduate Program in Economics and Finance

CEMFI, Madrid (Spain)

The basic graduate offering at CEMFI consists of its Master in
Economics and Finance and its PhD program in Economics. Unlike many
Master programs in the US and elsewhere, ours is self-contained and
offers a well respected qualification.

CEMFI grants a subset of its Master students exemptions from the
tuition fee and/or scholarships for living expenses amounting up to
EUR 10,000 per year. They are granted according to academic merit.
Also, the Fundaci�n Carolina, in cooperation with the Fundaci�n BBVA,
has endowed four scholarships for Latin American students of the
Master. These scholarships amount to 1,200 euros per month for housing
and subsistence, over 19 months, plus 2 additional months for students
who participate in a Summer internship program. They also cover the
Master's tuition, travel expenses and medical insurance.

An important distinguishing feature of our Master is that it lasts for
two years, the second being essential for shaping the skills of our
graduates, as follows. First year: Basic graduate course work and some
optional subjects. Second year: Specialized courses and research
training through a Master thesis. Our ratio of students to faculty is
between four and five. Thus we can devote a lot of attention to each
student. This is particularly important for the Master thesis, where
the faculty provides guidance to a unique degree.

Members of CEMFI's faculty publish in top journals and are research
leaders in their fields. They also edit prestigious journals and are
key players at leading learned societies such as the European Economic
Association and the Econometric Society.

Our Master students get very good jobs as economists. For example, in
positions dealing with portfolio and risk management, macroeconomic
forecasting, policy evaluation, or microeconomic consultancy. Our
reputation is 20 years old and CEMFI provides a strong signal of
quality, regularly confirmed by the market. Moreover, we run an
experienced and efficient job placement service.

Students interested in furthering their research training, either
because they aim at a professional career with a stronger research
content or because they aim at an academic position, will continue to
develop their research skills for another three years and complete the
PhD program. Papers from CEMFI's dissertations have been published in
top journals and we have an excellent record in the PhD job market.

Admission to PhD dissertation work at CEMFI is through the Master. All
students admitted to the PhD program obtain a scholarship, either from
an external source or from CEMFI.

For more information on admission and scholarship applications, please
visit: http://www.cemfi. es. For any queries, feel free to contact:
admissions@cemfi. es.

Application has to be received by 7. April 2008.

UP in next 100 years

Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 21:28:00 01/07/2008

The University of the Philippines (UP), the nation�s premier university, kicks off its centennial celebration today looking forward to the next 100 years, with Excellence, Service and Leadership as the key words in its vision for the future.

The UP, which started as a small institution of learning on Padre Faura Street in Manila in 1908, has grown tremendously in the last 100 years, and has become a university system with seven universities and 12 campuses all over the country. In 1911 it had only seven academic units, now it is offering 258 undergraduate and 438 graduate programs. Students come from almost all the 16 regions and all socio-economic brackets.

The UP has played a very important role in the social, economic and political development of the nation in the last 100 years. It produced seven out of 14 presidents, 12 chief justices of the Supreme Court, 30 out of 31 national scientists and 36 out of 57 national artists. Of the close to 250,000 UP alumni, 15,000 are doctors, 8,000 are lawyers and 23,000 are teachers.

The UP is a descendant of the �universitas,� the 14th century scholastic guilds in Europe. The typical university then consisted of a college of liberal arts and sciences as well as graduate and professional schools having the authority to confer degrees in various fields of study.

In the beginning, universities were concerned principally with intellectual pursuit largely for its own sake and educated a privileged few. The usual caricature of the university man was that of an absent-minded scholar who engaged in esoteric studies and seldom ventured from his ivory tower.

All that has changed, and universities are now places where one can obtain an excellent education, equip oneself with social skills for life and study and train oneself for a profession.

Eric Thomas, vice chancellor of the University of Bristol, says universities are �the search engines of our society -- they create new knowledge.� Universities have always been the marketplace for the exchange and free movement of ideas. They are also forums where students obtain a basic understanding of human rights, civic virtues and ethical values and learn their duties as citizens of a democracy.

The UP, in the 100 years ahead, will have to perform the traditional role of producing complete, �universal� persons, and that means giving them a grounding in the liberal arts, sciences and humanities. But it will also have to prepare them for the real world, and that means giving them the knowledge and training for various professions so that they can earn a living and at the same time contribute to the sum of human knowledge.

Richard Florida, professor of regional economic development at Carnegie Mellon University, said that in the new economy, �ideas and intellectual capital have replaced natural resources and mechanical innovations as the raw material of economic growth.� That is why, he said, the university has become �more critical than ever as a provider of talent, knowledge and innovation in the age of knowledge-based capitalism.�

In these knowledge-driven times, the UP will have to assume a bigger role in national life. But how can it perform its function well when it constantly suffers from lack of funds? Some people have the mistaken notion that a university can run on its own power. But like any other institution, a university has to have sufficient funds to be able to carry out its objectives.

The UP has fallen on hard times principally because of budgetary constraints. It has suffered a brain drain because talented professors have moved to other universities that pay bigger salaries. State-of the-art teaching aids and laboratory equipment are lacking because there are no funds for their acquisition. An indication of the decline of standards at UP is the fact that it barely made it to the list of the THES-QS World University Rankings of the Top 400 Universities, placing 398th.

The leadership of the UP recognizes the real problem of financing and hopes to address this by undertaking an ambitious campaign to raise P5 billion in the next five years. All UP alumni who love their alma mater will have to dig deep into their pockets to help save the university from further decline. Malaca�ang and Congress should also pitch in by approving more generous outlays for the State University.

Delft University of Technology Two positions for PhD student Philosophy &
Technology

*Job description*
The Phd student will work on one of the following projects:
1. In engineering, technological products that do not satisfy the functional
requirements laid out for them are said to malfunction. This notion of
malfunction plays an important role in engineering and is philosophically
intricate. The research project aims to survey modern engineering uses of
the notion of malfunction and develop these into a systematic account. A
more extensive project description can be downloaded
here<http://www.tudelft.nl/live/binaries/e96d0322-2e4e-4b20-bc3f-80f8ec9199ab/doc/PhD_proposal_malfunction_1okt07.pdf>.

2. The literature on engineering design methodology describes many methods,
e.g., QFD, AHP, Kano, and Pugh matrices, which are recommended and applied
to choice problems in engineering design. However, a critical discussion and
assessment of these methods has been lacking. This research project aims to
take up this discussion and to critically assess these methods and their
applicablility to particular design problems. A more extensive project
description can be downloaded
here<http://www.tudelft.nl/live/binaries/e96d0322-2e4e-4b20-bc3f-80f8ec9199ab/doc/PhD_proposal_methodologie_1okt07.pdf>.

*Requirements
*Required: either a degree in engineering with an interest in philosophy or
a degree in philosophy with an interest in engineering. Preferred: a degree
in both fields.

*Conditions of employment*
The appointee will be employed by TU Delft for a fixed period of 4 years (38
hours/week) within which he/she is expected to write a doctoral dissertation
(PhD thesis). The salary has a maximum of € 2558 per month gross with a
full-time appointment and depending on experience. TU Delft offers an
attractive benefits package, including a flexible work week, a free ADSL
connection at home, and the opportunity to assemble a customized
compensation and benefits package. Salary and benefits are in accordance
with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities.

MA and PhD stipends in Intercultural Humanities
************ ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* *
From: Nicola Spakowski <n.spakowski@ ...>

Jacobs University Bremen, Germany, offers a number of MA and PhD
stipends in Intercultural Humanities. Faculty teaching in the program
include specialists on China, South Asia and Southeast Asia.

Application deadline: 1 February 2008

Short description of the program:

Intercultural and transcultural issues are becoming increasingly
significant for political, cultural and everyday life on a macro and a
micro level. This is due to processes related to internationalizatio n
and globalization and the cultural changes and conflicts caused by
them. For this reason inter- and transcultural issues have become a
new focus of academic research.

The Graduate Program Intercultural Humanities is a unique and
innovative combined graduate program in History, History and Theory of
Art, and Literature with a special emphasis on intercultural
encounters, cross-cultural transfers, cultural comparison, and
transcultural universals.

The Graduate Program Intercultural Humanities provides students with
insights into the theories and methods used to investigate and
describe inter- and transcultural processes and phenomena. Students
become acquainted with the particularities of research in History,
History and Theory of Art, and Literature as well as with
interdisciplinary approaches applied in intercultural studies in the
humanities. By studying exemplary cases of intercultural encounters,
cross-cultural transfers and transcultural universals students learn
how these theories and methods are applied in each of the fields and,
in a second step, across the fields. In particular, they acquire an
understanding of the historical dimension of the relevant processes
and phenomena and an awareness of the specific problems involved in
interactions between Western and Non-Western cultures, cultural and
aesthetic products and societies.
