The noble laureate has spoken is left for the retardeen to act. |
Lionel Messi's hometown of Rosario, Argentina, has banned people from naming their children "Messi." And no, we're not kidding. As per Mundo Deportivo(h/t Sports Illustrated), local officials have passed a law barring residents from using the surname of the world's best footballer as the first name of their newborn sons and daughters. A family who did just that for a newborn son prompted the law. According to theSIarticle, Rosario residents are still permitted to name their children Maradona. Ronaldo is presumably still available, too. |

Three students had time on their hands in the summer of 2009 when their university lecturers in Nigeria went on strike. Instead of slacking off, Ayodeji Adewunmi, Olalekan Olude and Opeyemi Awoyemi started an online job search company. Five years later their start-up, Jobberman, has got a multi-million dollar valuation, employs 125 people, and is still growing. While Nigeria is Africa's largest economyit still has massive unemployment problems, in particular among young people who are also more likely to be connected to the internet. Jobberman has become the single largest job placement website in sub-Saharan Africa, helping over 35,000 people find jobs within the last two years. The number of companies using the site to find employees has grown from about 40 in 2009 to more than 4,000 today. Carrying between 500 and 1,000 jobs on the site every day, the founders estimate that there are about 1,000 active users searching for a job at any given time. "The growth has been tremendous, it's at rocket speed. One of the biggest challenges has been to keep up with the volume of work," says Olalekan. Overcoming fraud fears However, there have been other challenges along the way. "In the beginning a lot of people did not trust an internet-based business because at that time a lot of people were using the internet to perpetuate fraud here in Nigeria," he says. But as other online businesses thrived and became trusted, so Jobberman thrived. Companies would dip their toe in the water with one or two postings and then when they trusted the site they would come back. Olalekan Olude says he is proud because each job someone finds on his site helps support a household In 2012 some of Jobberman's clients wanted to use the site to find workers in Ghana and so the company took its first work outside Nigeria. Two years later it says it is now the biggest online job site in Ghana as well as Nigeria. The company is now expanding its reach to Kenya with a partner called Brighter Monday. The partnership also gives it a footprint in Uganda and Tanzania. 'They found me' Amarachi Apakama found a job through the site without filling out an application Some people find a job through the site without actually applying for one. Amarachi Apakama uploaded her details and was approached by a company to take the position of executive assistant at a mobile phone content company. "That really changed my life," she says. "It was a morale booster. It helped my confidence - the fact that my interests and my experience put together such a good fit that I didn't have to apply for the job." Multiplier effect "It is incredibly fulfilling helping people to become economically empowered by getting job placements via Jobberman," founder Ayodeji Adewunmi says.http://m.bbc.com/news/business-29013286?ocid=socialflow_facebook#sa-ns_mchannel=rss&ns_source=PublicRSS20-sa |
Nothing on this planet can compare with a woman’s love.it is kind and compassionate, patient and nurturing, generous and sweet and unconditional. Pure. If you are her man, she will walk on water and through a mountain for you, too, no matter how you’ve acted out, no matter what crazy thing you’ve done, no matter the time or demand. If you are her man, she will talk to you until there just aren’t any more words left to say, encourage you when you’re at rock bottom and think there just isn’t any way out, hold you in her arms when you’re sick, and laugh with you when you’re up. And if you’re her man and that woman loves you—I mean really loves you?—she will shine you up when you’re dusty, encourage you when you’re down, defend you even when she’s not so sure you were right, and hang on your every word, even when you’re not saying anything worth listening to. And no matter what you do, no matter how many times her friends say you’re no good, no matter how many times you slam the door on the relationship, she will give you her very best and then some, and keep right on trying to win over your heart, even when you act like everything she’s done to convince you she’s The One just isn’t good enough. That’s a woman’s love—it stands the test of time, logic, and all circumstance. |
All na formality.at the of the day the issue will be swept under the carpet. |

1. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. > Total employees:2,200,000 > Revenue:$476.3 billion > Country:United States > Industry:Retail Wal-Mart Stores is the world’s largest employer. The retailer operates Walmart, Sam’s Club, and other chains, which together employ some 2.2 million people globally. Of that total, roughly 1.4 million were employed in the U.S. alone at the end of the company’s fiscal year. This accounted for notable share of the U.S. labor force, which totaled slightly more than 156 million people as of July. Outside the U.S., the retailer employs more than 200,000 people in Mexico, and nearly 170,000 at its Asda chain in the U.K. However, the company has also inspired fierce debate over its labor practices, with some claiming that Wal-Mart’s pay is too low to constitute a livable wage, and others arguing that Wal-Mart provides jobs to low-skilled workers with few options.

2.G4S plc > Total employees:618,000 > Revenue:$12.3 billion > Country:United Kingdom > Industry:Security services G4S is the world’s largest security company, with operations in 120 countries worldwide. Last year, the company had over 7.4 billion pounds, or over $12 billion, in revenue. Underpinning G4S’s recent growth is its continued development in emerging markets, where revenue growth was 16%. Operating in the generally labor intensive security services industry, G4S is the largest publicly-traded employer in Europe, and the second-largest worldwide. Secure solutions, accounting for 75% of G4S’s revenue, includes risk management consulting, monitoring of security systems, and manned security services. Additionally, the company’s cash solutions services include the transportation of cash using trained personnel. |
5. PetroChina Co. Ltd. > Total employees:544,083 > Revenue:$373.0 billion > Country:China > Industry:Oil & gas PetroChina was founded in 1999 after the restructuring of China National Petroleum Corporation, a state-owned entity that still owns more than 86% of PetroChina. Today, PetroChina is one of the world’s largest companies by market capitalization. It is also China’s largest producer of oil and natural gas. Last year, the company’s output from production included 932.9 million barrels of oil, as well as 2.8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Nearly half of its employees work in exploration and production, while the rest are responsible for marketing, refining, research, and other operations. 4. Volkswagen AG > Total employees:555,097 > Revenue:$271.3 billion > Country:Germany > Industry:Manufacturing Volkswagen, one of the world’s top car manufacturers, built more than 9.7 million cars in 2013. Auto manufacturing is a labor intensive business. Rival Toyota Motors had 338,875 full-time equivalent employees at the end of last year, while General Motors’ headcount was roughly 219,000. However, no automaker had more employees than Volkswagen, with 545,596 active workers, and 9,501 workers in the passive phase of their partial retirement. Historically, the company’s management has viewed worker input as critical, and the company’s works council wields considerable influence. The works council forced management to dismiss its consultants out of concern that efforts to cut costs would disproportionately center around eliminating jobs. 3. Randstad Holding NV > Total employees:595,730 > Revenue: $22.8 billion > Country:The Netherlands > Industry:Human resources Randstad is a multinational human resource company. While Randstad has just 28,030 corporate employees in 3,161 branches, a small number relative to others on the list, these employees helped place an average over 567,000 employees in various positions as of 2013. In many cases, the company takes responsibility for recruiting, interviewing, and testing the candidates that it places. Randstad’s services also extend to administering payroll and medical insurance services for client companies. |
7. Agricultural Bank of China Limited > Total employees:478,980 > Revenue:$68.2 billion > Country:China > Industry:Banking In 2010, Agricultural Bank of China held the largest IPO in the world, raising more than $19.2 billion. The bank’s market presence likely contributes to its large number of employees. Agricultural Bank of China has 23,547 domestic branches serving the largest population in the world. As of 2013, the bank had 14 trillion yuan in assets. Although it is publicly traded, the bank is considered one of China’s big-four state-owned banks, alongside ICBC, Bank of China, and China Construction Bank.

A large share of the company’s employees, over 200,000 in all, worked in North America as of the end of last year. Because of its high reliance on its people, Compass Group spent quite a sizable share of its costs on employees. In 2013, operating costs at the company totalled roughly 16.4 billion pounds, of which 8.1 billion pounds went to employee compensation such as wages, social security payments, and pension costs. |
10.

It is not clear, however, how many of that total are part-time workers. As a proxy, roughly 86% of employees at competitor Yum! Brands were part-time last year. McDonald’s employee total also does not include workers at franchisee-owned restaurants. In total, 1.9 million people work for either McDonald’s or its franchises. 9. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited > Total employees:441,902 > Revenue:$ 91.1 billion > Country:China > Industry:Banking Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is the largest commercial bank in China by assets, loans, and total deposits. It holds nearly 20 trillion yuan in total assets while providing banking services to the most popular country in the world and its rapidly growing economy. The bank employs more than 440,000 workers. ICBC provides a vast number of universal banking services necessitating a network of employees to service its 10 trillion yuan in total loans, as well as its large customer base. In 2006, ICBC’s IPO raised more than $19 billion, the world’s largest until it was surpassed by Agricultural Bank of China’s IPO in 2010. 8. ISS A/S > Total employees:464,184 > Revenue:$14.5 billion > Country:Denmark > Industry:Diversified services ISS, which began as a security services firm in 1901, has since expanded into facility management as well as cleaning, property, and catering services. The company, based in Denmark, provides outsourcing activities in more than 50 countries. Although not one of the largest companies by revenue, ISS operates in labor-intensive services sectors, necessitating employing many workers. The multinational company employs over 533,000 employees. Of these, 74% are full-time and 26% are part-time employees, leading to a full-time equivalent of 464,184. Staffing costs for ISS make up almost 70% of its total operating costs. |
12. International Business Machines Corporation > Total employees:431,212 > Revenue:$99.7 billion > Country:United States > Industry:Technology & consulting IBM is the third largest employer headquartered in the U.S., trailing only McDonald’s and Wal-Mart Stores. It had more than 431,000 employees worldwide as of the end of 2013. This total actually marks a slight drop from 2012, when the company had slightly more than 434,000 employees across the globe. IBM is widely forecast to cut even more jobs this year, as it lays off workers and shifts jobs to Lenovo as part of the sale of its x86 enterprise server business. This year’s layoffs are part of a $1 billion restructuring the company initiated earlier this year. 11. Deutsche Post AG > Total employees:435,285 > Revenue:$76.4 billion > Country:Germany > Industry:Logistics Deutsche Post is the former postal agency of the German government. In 1995, the company, along with Deutsche Postbank and Deutsche Telekom, began the process of transitioning from government agencies into private companies. In 2000, Deutsche Post became publicly traded. Today, the company claims it is the world’s leading logistics company. Logistics and postal service companies are often large and have many employees. In fact, the United States Postal Service, which is part of the U.S. government, had 618,000 total employees last year. Unlike the USPS, however, Deutsche Post is profitable. While its American counterpart posted a net loss of nearly $5 billion, Deutsche Post reported more than 2 billion euro in profit last year. |
These are the biggest employers in the world. 15. Yue Yuen Industrial (Holdings) Limited > Total employees:413,000 > Revenue:$7.6 billion > Country:Taiwan > Industry:Footwear Yue Yuen is a major manufacturer for international shoe brands, including Adidas, Reebok, and Nike, among others. Virtually all of Yue Yuen’s manufacturing takes place in three countries: mainland China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Alongside its manufacturing business, which accounted for nearly $5.9 billion in revenue, Yue Yuen also operates a retail network, which accounted for $1.7 billion in sales. Earlier this year, Yue Yuen workers at the company’s factory in Dongguan, China went on strike to protest the company’s benefit contribution policies. Yue Yuen agreed to increase contributions for workers in China’s Guangdong province. 14.

According to Sodexo, more than 95% of its employees have daily, direct contact with company clients. With such scope, it’s no wonder Sodexo employs almost 428,000 workers. 13. OAO Gazprom > Total employees:429,000 > Revenue:$156.6 billion > Country:Russia > Industry:Oil & gas Gazprom is one of the world’s largest natural gas companies. The company is also majority-owned by the Russian government. By measures of sheer size, few businesses can match Gazprom. The company’s 429,000 employees help run Russia’s largest publicly traded entity by market capitalization. Additionally, the company claims to possess the largest reserves of natural gas in the world, as well as the world’s largest gas transmission system. Much of Europe relies on natural gas supplied by the company and a large portion Gazprom’s exports flow to Western Europe. Among the countries that rely on the company’s natural gas is Ukraine, a fact that has garnered significant attention as Ukraine and Russia’s relationship has deteriorated. |
