Sariprenuers can use the Packworks application for inventory management, order supply for their stores, track their sales and revenue and monitor their customers’ dues. They can also use e-payments like GCash and Maya for theirBernardoorders.says using the Sari IQ Data Dashboard, sari-preneurs can track the trends on the products they prefer to purchase or what their customers want to buy. “Our brands and partners can see the graphs and trends on our plat form, where they can have an in-depth look at how their products are doing with sari-sari stores,” he says. He says 20 percent of the sari-sari stores in the Philippines are now using the Packworks application. “We help them grow their businesses by using our application to input inventories, track their customers, use it as a POS machine where they can input the bar code of their products and scan it, order supplies and have them deliver on their doorsteps and have promo codes and loyalty points that they can use to order.
Employers should also monitor the progress these innovations through feed back surveys or employee interviews to determine if there are positive changes created.
“By taking these extra steps, employ ers are showing their employees that they respect their insights and that they are working to improve the company for their benefit. Not only will this lead to employ ees’ job satisfaction and productivity, but it also strengthens the relationship be tween employers and employees,” Gioca says.While employers transition to future m-ready workplace, JobStreet says job seekers also play a crucial role in making the labor market thrive in a future-ready workplace.Giocaencourages jobseekers to prac tice and prepare for working in a hybrid work environment, especially when this type of work setup is likely to be the pre ferred work model.

parents are Josephine Mendoza, a Filipina who worked in Kuwait as a domestic helper, and Rashid, the only son of an affluent Kuwaiti family. They fall in love and marry in secret after Josephine gets pregnant. When their son is born, his father names him ‘Isa’ (Arabic for ‘Jesus’) while his mother calls him ‘Jose’ (after Rizal).
This year, Rustan’s Beauty Addict Event is back and going all out in a fully-immersive, on-ground setting with a variety of activities and exciting deals everyone’s been waiting for.
The Bamboo Stalk, which won the International Prize for Arabic Fiction in 2013, is the story of Jose, whose
Tuvera has her character point out a perennial argu ment: that some of the accused collaborators, who killed no one nor committed any heinous acts, only “feigned cooperation – and no court in the world exist ed that could step into their hearts and declare them devoid of patriotism.” Who’s to say what is in the heart of a person, what their intention is, when no physical evidence exists for one thing or the other?
This novel was praised in the Arab world for raising questions on themes rarely explored in Gulf fiction, including racism, religion, identity, and labor econom ics. The Filipino edition, published by Anvil, is certainly worth a place on anyone’s bookshelf.
However, Rashid’s family rejects his choice of wife, and not even the birth of a grandson sways them. Rashid, to save his sisters from shame and to preserve his own privileges, gives up on his family and sends them back to the Philippines. Rashid sends money to his wife and child for several years, until Josephine and Jose lose contact with Rashid. Jose grows up with his mother’s poverty-stricken family.
For this technology, institutions need devices such as laptops or desktops, supplementary devices like tablets, and a subscription to CLO, one of the most advanced, intuitive, and cohesive 3D gar ment design software.
N The Collaborators, National Book Award-winning author Katrina Tuvera explores the themes of complicity and collaboration in the actions of several characters from different generations, from the pre-war period to the post-EDSA days.
Likewise, Rustan’s the Beauty Source also re sembles the enduring quality of a diamond as the company is steadfast in making a mark in the world by encouraging their customers to step out in con fidence and shine brightly for all to see.
The book is divided into six parts, each of which starts with an epigraph by Jose Rizal . The first half of the book deals with Jose/Isa’s life on the margins in the Philippines, and how history, culture, and pol itics have shaped the realities of his existence. The second half recounts his return to Kuwait, and how he adjusts to life in a place his mother described to him as a paradise. Jose finds out what happened to his father in the years they did not hear from him, as the young man struggles to make a place for himself in his father’s family.

I presume it’s the Jonathan Wright translation from the original Arabic version by Alsanousi that was pub lished in 2012 – it’s the only English translation that I can find online. It could be that Daño worked from someone else’s translation; in any case, it should have been men tioned in a foreword or introduction, which this book doesn’t have, but it certainly could have used one.

This argument in turn illumines the choices that other characters in the novel make as they negotiate their own situations in the world. The novel, rather than making grand, sweeping gestures of generalized statements and broad theory, focuses on how the little things – each individual action, choice, decision – compound over time to create a mass effect, a tremendous weight that tips

“Digital fashion designers are now in-de mand and skills on 3D clothing visualization is a must-have,” Bagano-Dizon shared. Mean while, Gonzaga added that a background in computer designing is an advantage.
The novel opens with Carlos Armando, a 70-year-old who lies dreaming of the past on his hospital bed. Born in 1930, his remi niscences cover a wide swath of Philippine history and the instances of complicity and collaboration that many chose to conduct for reasons of survival, status, or power.
Like many third-culture kids, Jose/Isa is conflicted about his identity: “Kung sana ako ay naging ‘Filipino’ sa Pilipinas, or ‘Arabo’ sa Kuwait! Kung sana ay may kakayahan ang salitang ‘kung’ para baguhin ang mga bagay, o kung… pero ‘wag nalang nating pag-usapan pa ngayon.” This is only one of the many passages where he seeks to negotiate race and culture in shap ing his idea of self.
“These garments are as good as its physi cal counterparts.

Set against a backdrop of a president’s impeach ment for taking gambling payoffs, a whistleblower’s testimony about their unrighteous operation, and Carlos’ own inexorable slide into his final days, The Collaborators asks readers to think about political complicity, impunity, and the fickleness of relation ships in the face of existential and identarian threats.

Some of these collaborators worked with the Japanese during World War II. Carlos, then 18, recalls some of his classmates saying: “Not all collaborators are traitors. Some acted like shields, softening the enemy’s blow. The Americans failed us – why should they deserve our allegiance? Others countered, They are quislings, fattening bellies and pockets while the rest of us endured in misery.”

Granulated sugar has long been used to treat wounds like burns, ulcers, and mechanical wounds. Due to its high osmolality, sugar attracts lymph that is rich in nutrients and water into the wound, supporting the healing tissues. Sugar also puts bacteria under signifi cant osmotic stress, which disrupts cell signaling and cell wall permeability and ultimately kills the bacteria. Osmostic stress has an impact on bacterial cells because they divide quickly, making them more vulnerable to metabolic assaults. Sugar also draws macrophages and creates a protein-rich layer of protection by hastening the shedding of dead tissue and enabling the formation of a granulation bed. Inflammatory cells and sloughing dead cells produce this protein layer. This approach necessitates frequent bandage changes. Wet-to-dry bandages drain away moisture and aid mechanical debridement while sugar bandages lose their osmotic pull once the sugar starts to dissolve.
According to historical records, honey has been used topically by Egyptians for over 4000 years to cure wounds. Interest in using honey as a supplement to wound care has just recently become more widespread in medicine. Honey contains antimicrobial properties and improves wound granulation and epithelialization. Due to its high osmolarity, acidity, and peroxide activity, honey proves to have antimicrobial properties.
According to research, the production of inflam matory cytokines from the surrounding tissue and the attraction of macrophages to the wound are what cause honey to improve wound healing. (Jennifer L.
