It's that time of year again. The theses are getting handed in and graduates are on the the job hunt. Below is a post that Mark Breen, co-founder of Cuckoo Events and all round nice guy, and I put together last year on Mark's award winning company blog. We put the post together with some of our top tips and tricks to help people land that all important first job out of college. These are just our thoughts on the job hunt but hopefully they can be of use!
A CV should set you apart. It is your opportunity to make an impression on a prospective new employer and illustrate, as best you can, why you should be considered for a job. We've put together 'real advice' on CVs & cover letters.
Martyn Rosney and I have put this blog post together. It began with my bitching on Twitter about some of the terrible first impressions people were making on me when sending me CVs and cover letters for roles. I grumbled that I may do a blog post on it and Martyn was quick to get in touch to say he'd be interested in working together on it.
Martyn runs a blog that advertises roles for people in PR and he gets a lot of CVs from people looking for advice and he also helps organisations recruit communications professionals.
I've been helping people with their CVs and job applications for years now and also have a lot of them cross my desk here in Cuckoo.
We also got in touch with a lot of people we know both in the 'real world' and through Twitter. All of these people have one thing in common – they are, in some way shape or form, involved in reviewing CVs and shortlisting people for jobs and, ultimately, hiring people. The group includes Managing Directors, CEOs, HR professionals, recruitment professionals, small business owners, new start-up owners and more.
As was to be expected, we all didn't feel the same about everything but there was enough common ground to warrant a blog post with some advice for job-seekers from people who actually hire people.
Do not open your cover letter with 'Dear Sir / Madam' if you can avoid it. If you are going for a job the least you can do is find out who you are applying to. Also, it sounds stupid, but you'd be surprised at the amount of people who misspell the name of the person they are applying to.
Do NOT use a standard cover letter. 'I read with interest your advertisement for the role of INSERT JOB TITLE and I believe I could be a great asset to your company in the role of INSERT JOB TITLE' is not the best way to start a cover letter.
Tailor your cover letter for the specific role. Yes, it's a bit more work than having a standard one you use for everything but, you do WANT the job don't you? Put a little effort in so.
If the job ad asks for a cover letter, then you need to send a cover letter. Not sending one means you have NO shot.
If you're using the body of an email as your 'cover letter' then treat it as being just as important as a traditional cover letter. Remember, you've a better chance of some of your email being read than you do of someone clicking into your CV, downloading the file, opening it and reading it. Use the email.
Do NOT send a mail with 'CV attached' and nothing else.
Do NOT send the same speculative mail to a load of companies, using the CC or BCC field. Even if you BCC it, it's going to be obvious it's generic and not specific to the business receiving it or to a role they may have available.
If you choose to include a picture, make sure it's a recent one. We know of interviewers actually thinking a different person has shown up for an interview, such is the difference between how they look now and how they looked in the photo that accompanied their CV.
Give concrete proof & examples. Don't talk at the person reading it. Show them what you've achieved. Use statistics. Outline competencies developed in previous roles. Note achievements.
Do not lie or embellish. You do not need to turn working in your local shop into 'Senior Retail Supervisor's Retail Assistant'. Say you worked in a shop and then explain what you achieved and learned there.
Do not write Curriculum Vitae at the top. It's clear what it is. You don't need to waste space with Curriculum Vitae written in size 20 font.
Save your CV as a PDF. When you've finished with your CV in Word, go to Save As and change it to save as a PDF. This looks more professional and makes it more difficult for someone to alter anything in there. It also makes sure the recruiter sees it exactly how you want them to see it. Different software can render your font choice unreadable.
Give the file a helpful name. Guess how many have the file name 'CV' or 'My Cv'. That's not very helpful to the person trying to keep track of them. Use a file name along the lines of 'CV.JobRef2031.MartynRosney.pdf'.
Keep your CV up to date. Even if you're not actively looking for a job, add new experience or qualifications to your CV as you gain them. You may hear about your dream job a half hour before applications close and firing in a CV that's not current won't do you much good.
Do not list 'Social Media' as a skill. At least, do not do this on the basis that you have Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts and simply can't tear yourself away from them. That's not a skill. If you've Digital Marketing qualifications and / or real experience in delivering business results using social, then, by all means include them.
Be creative. Take a risk. Do something to make yourself stand out. Most CVs look exactly the same. Trust us. People aren't then same so why should their CVs be? Nicholas, in the picture above, did something very clever. Check out Leah Bowman's LEGO CV and Jobless Paddy's campaign for a job.
There is no excuse for spelling mistakes or bad grammar. None. Have someone else read over it for you. Fresh eyes catch things. Do not rely on spell checker to catch everything. It's not designed to and will not catch everything.
Research the company. Most people don't. Why should someone care about you if you don't care about their company? If you do take the time ot do this then make sure it comes across in your CV, cover letter or email.
Use language of the employer, not the employee. Remember your audience and look to connect with them through the language you use.
Read the job description properly. Numerous people who fed into this blog post told of people applying for very senior roles that they would simply not be suitable for. Ambition is one thing, but make sure you know what you're applying for.
Provide what was asked. If the job ad asks for 3 things and you send in 1 of those do you think you're in with a shot at the job?
Take your time. Lots of employers we spoke to noted that applications received very soon after a job ad goes live don't sit well with them. People applying that quickly probably believe they are showing how keen they are when, in reality, what it actually proves is that they (very likely) did not research the company and / or role and just fired off something generic. Take your time and give yourself the best shot at getting an interview and, ultimately, getting that job.
LOADS of people are going for the same jobs, especially in the current climate. You want to stand out from the crowd. Spend some time on your cover letter / email and CV. Do yourself justice rather than just being another applicant.
We recently advertised some work and had over 50 applications in the space of a week. I can honestly say two stood out from the outset. Just two.
We purposely left out things that caused a lot of debate among the employers / hirers we spoke to on this. Things like the perfect length of a CV, whether to include your references or say 'references available on request' and whether to include your Leaving Cert results and / or your date of birth are contentious and a matter of opinion.
Including those would make this post less useful.
We wanted this post to be as helpful as possible and, as such, have included things there was widespread consensus on.
We hope it helps some of you out.

UAM Sports Hall of Fame tickets still available
by News Release | Oct 10, 2013
Tickets are still available for the 2013 UAM Sports Hall of Fame induction. Tickets are $35 and may be purchased by calling Jan Stephenson in the Department of Athletics at (870) 460-1058.
This year's inductees are former football All-American Roland Autrey, 1950s football stalwart M. L. Mann, track and cross country All-American Jeff Pope, softball All-American Jodie Scott, and track All-American Milton Williams.
Milton Williams
Williams is currently the head coach for both the men's and women's track and cross country teams at UALR. He has been named Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year three times for the men (2007, '10, and '12) and once for the women (2005) and led the men's cross country team to the 2012 Sun Belt championship.
At UAM, Williams excelled in the shot put and discus, earning All-Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference and NAIA Indoor All-America honors in the shot. After graduating from UAM in 1982, Williams finished 14th in the 1984 Olympic trials and set records for an Arkansas native in both the discus (201 feet, 9 inches) and shot (65 feet, 4 inches).
Williams earned a master's degree from Northeast Louisiana University (now Louisiana-Monroe) in 1984 and spent four years as head strength and conditioning coach at Louisiana State University before returning to Arkansas as head track and cross country coach at Cabot High School. Williams joined the UALR coaching staff in 2001 as associate head coach in cross country and track.
Williams' most recent honor was being inducted into the Arkansas Track & Field Hall of Fame in June.
Jeff Pope
Pope was one of the state's best distance runners in the 1980s. Pope earned NAIA All-America honors in 1986 in both the 10,000 meters and the marathon. He was a three-time All-AIC selection in cross country and earned all-conference honors in track at both 5,000 and 10,000 meters.
Pope was a four-time AIC champion in individual events and a 1988 UAM graduate. He is currently an award-winning teacher at Fort Morgan High School in Colorado.
Jodie Scott
Scott won multiple honors on the field and in the classroom as a star outfielder on the UAM softball team from 2003-06.
Scott was named a second team All-American by the National Fast-pitch Coaches Association in 2003, the 2003 Gulf South Conference West Division Freshman of the Year, first team All-South Region, also in 2003, and second team All-South Region in 2004.
She was a four-time first team All-Gulf South Conference selection and was named to the GSC All-Decade Team for 2001-10. Scott was also named to the NFCA and GSC All-Academic Teams in 2005.
Roland Autrey
Autrey was an undersized noseguard who became a three-year starter for UAM teams that went 19-9 from 1985 to 1987. Autrey was almost unblockable in 1986 when he became the schools' first underclassman to earn first team NAIA All-America honors for a Boll Weevil team that posted a 6-3 record and finished second in the AIC.
Autry was the Arkansas Democrat's AIC Defensive Player of the Year in 1986 and a first team All-AIC selection. He made 13 tackles despite being double-teamed in a 1986 homecoming win over Harding and ended the season with 56 solo tackles, 38 assists, three sacks, and nine tackles for loss.
M.L. Mann
Mann was recruited by John Barnhill to play football for the University of Arkansas in 1949 and played for the Razorbacks as a sophomore defensive end in 1950 before being drafted. As part of the 101st Airborne, Mann parachuted into Korea in 1952 and later received a battlefield commission of second lieutenant from General Matthew Ridgway. For gallantry under fire, Mann received the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart, and Distinguished Service Cross.
After his discharge in 1954, he enrolled at what was then Arkansas A&M College and lettered two years for Boll Weevil teams that won the first of four consecutive AIC championships. Mann was a two-year starter at tackle in the one-platoon era when players played both ways, earning first team All-AIC honors in 1955 while leading the Weevils to a 7-2 record and the league title.
Robert Leonard, long-time director of the Missionary Baptist Student Fellowship, will receive the UAM Spirit Award.
Leonard has served as the campus minister for the Missionary Baptist Student Fellowship since 1983 and for the last two years has been a member of the UAM coaching staff as head coach of the men's and women's cross country teams. Leonard has served as a chaplain for the football team and was a volunteer assistant football coach for Tommy Barnes.

(WAVES) II. Facts about the WAVES .
Here are examples of jobs that WAVES handled as well as Navy men.
The Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Ernest J. King, exercised his command responsibilities over activities ashore through the area commanders. There were 14 naval districts. District commandants exercised direct military command over naval bases and naval air bases located within their area commands. WAVES served on all naval bases and air bases within the United States, and many naval and air bases in the Caribbean, Atlantic and western Pacific zones such as the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii.
The WAVES initially did not the same allowances or benefits permitted for male officers and sailors. Nevertheless, later legislation was passed in 1943 that gave WAVES almost equal compensation and other benefits (although not fully equalized until after the war). Legislative amendments also permitted WAVES to serve beyond the stateside United States at certain stations in the US Territories (i.e., Alaska and Hawaii) and overseas.
Moreover, there was extra pay to cover living expenses: food, comfortable quarters, medical and dental care, and clothing. When government facilities were not available, WAVES received an additional supplement to their pay, subsistence and quarter allowances totaling $2.75 a day. There were benefits prescribed by law for civil employees if suffering disability or death caused by disease or injury while on active duty. Life insurance at low government rates, privileges of free mail, reduced rates on transportation, movie and theatre tickets, and benefits from organizations such as the USO, Red Cross and Navy Relief gave advantageous incentives.

Friends, please join me at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 24 for a Facebook Live event hosted by The Gospel Coalition. I will give three 10-minute talks, followed by three 10-minute Q&A sessions with Facebook viewers.
My hope is that the talks, together with the Q&A, will provide a roadmap for Christians wishing to cultivate a Christian witness in our troubled public square.
To join us, click here at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 24.


"For our present troubles are quite small and wont last long. Yet the produce for us an immeasurably great glory that will last forever!
So we don't look at the troubles we can see right now; rather, we look forward to what we have not yet seen.
One that is not easily swayed by the actions of others….
When hurt, doubt, wonder, or fear tries to take root, You are shining Your light of love and destroying those seeds.
Learning that I won't die if I am uncomfortable in a situation….
There is so much love covering our hearts…..
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
People will hurt our hearts..
It's so important to keep our hearts light..
Love keeps no record of wrongs….
Letting things go quickly is the key to trusting God and keeping your eyes on the love he pours into your heart….
WE are people, and we are going to mess up..
Have you ever suppressed a generous thought?
Let God bring someone to mind and surprise them with some love!
The amazing grace and beauty of God's love for me, and you is that the past is gone.
God even made sure there was an exclamation point so we would see the amazing joy in what He was saying!
We were, and are cleansed, forgiven and redeemed for God's sweet and amazing purpose for our lives in Him..
burnt offering and sin offerings you did not require.
"Here I am, have come … It is written about me in the scroll.
Please use my days to shine of Your freedom and beauty..
Such a sweet picture of innocence…and trust.
I picture Jesus sitting outside, maybe casually hanging out.. just sitting on a tree stump, next to a place where the kids of the village are playing tag, and running around..
He called a little child and had Him stand among them.
"I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven.
Therefore whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus' words must have stung and confused their hearts for a quick minute..
how refreshing and encouraging are Jesus' words…to my grown up heart!
Humbling my heart before God, and man… always changes me..
We aren't trying to do things on our own..
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, then you will bear much fruit.
How do you remain in God?
Making sure you draw close to Him each day that you are alive.
It is a journey of love..
… Opening His word of hope, gleaning His goodness and grace.
Letting all that He is abide in all that you are not.
Letting God live and abide… flow and renew..
The fruit of the spirit is..
This is about worship… Letting your heart be stilled, then filled to overflowing.
On the love you have poured over my soul..
Be gentle, and listen with a warm heart.
He died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.
Anxiety can make you say and do strange things… lol!
When you chose to see the good in others they can can sense your heart of tenderness and care.
May my heart be tender, and my words be few.
It's so easy to feel judged and unworthy…and sometimes those feelings are so present that we find ourselves becoming someone we don't want to be..
How I pray I would be able to stop that conversation… or feeling with words of hope, beauty and grace.
Remembering who I am in You… gives me the awesome desire and strength to love bigger, and to forgive even quicker. I want to be a vessel that helps others see the hope of salvation, and the beauty of Your grace..
It is my deepest joy to leave a little bit of Your beauty wherever I go..
Forgive me the times I start to lose my passion, and get sucked into feelings of fear… the feelings that make me want to defend myself, and be someone I used to know..
"For you were once in darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.
Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists of all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord.
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness..
"……I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.
So receiving God's promise is not up to us. We can't get it by choosing it or working hard for it.
Today may we let our hearts fully absorb how special… loved, and treasured we are.
He has touched our heart's with His own hand.
Picked us up, dusted us off, and set us free.
Just walking forward in complete gratitude and hope.
You chose me, and I am overwhelmed with praise….
My heart is filled with the warmth of Your love, and the sweet songs of Your deliverance..
May my spirit be set free..
"Amazing love, how can this be that my king would die for me.
Amazing love I know it's true.
It's my joy to honor you.

Competitive Analysis: Celebrity
by Jess Yeung | Posted on April 12, 2022 April 12, 2022
Creator is unknown, all analog game!
Celebrity is a guessing game centered around guessing "celebrities" or characters – the unique thing about Celebrity is that the players decide the words used in game play. It's a speed challenge game that is very physically involved because of the charades element (sense game). Each player writes down 2-3 names on pieces of paper and contributes to the pool of characters. This way, players can lean into inside jokes and characters that they think other people in the game will be able to guess. For example, if a group of Stanford students is playing, "Marc Tessier Lavigne" would be fair game!
There are three rounds to Celebrity played with the same teams and same characters. Round 1, players are allowed to use as many words as they want except for words on the paper. Round 2, players are only allowed to use one word to their team, and Round 3, players can only use actions (a charades round). The twist for Celebrity is that because the names are the same for each round, your team should aim to develop inside jokes and references that make it possible to guess in Round 2 and 3. In each round, players are each given 30 seconds to try and have their team guess as many names as possible. Points are calculated by totaling the number of characters each player on each team was successfully able to communicate to their team.
Celebrity is also special compared to other similar games because it is an amalgamation of all the word/phrase guessing games. It combines rounds that are like Phrase Frenzy and Charades into one game, which makes it perfect for a longer party game since you know that there are 3 rounds of game play guaranteed.
We played this game in a group of about 12 people – names contributed ranged from "Benjamin Franklin" to "Courage the Cowardly Dog" and "Thomas the Tank Engine." Because this game is purely played in physical space, there are not many graphic design decisions that we can pull from when designing our game. There is also a higher level of competition in this game because there are teams, while in similar games like Heads Up, which is a 1 vs. all game and is mainly a collaborative game since points aren't emphasized (all players try and help the person with the word on their forehead guess the word and the phone is passed around to everyone in the circle).
Because the characters are contributed by players, this ideally curbs offensive characters since the names each person contributes will need to be guessable by the rest of their team, so there is more communal buy-in compared to games where the values are predetermined by the game (if a game's word bank isn't curated well, there could be strange or offensive terms included). To make the game more fun, it could be interesting to only let people do one character per play instead of playing for 30-60 seconds and try to get as many as possible, and more players could contribute each round – there are some rounds that did not reach all players since all the names were guessed by the time it went around half the circle.

FBI counter terrorism measures creating mistrust in American Muslim communities
Since the September 11th, 2001 attacks, the FBI has placed an emphasis on preventing further terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. To do so, they have focused their energy on preemptive measures, seeking to discover terrorists before their dreams of destruction can be realized.
However, this effort has not been without controversy, as many of the "terrorists" claim foul play and entrapment. These accusations refer to the FBI's strategy of placing informants within specific communities, in particular the American Muslim community, and having them seek out radical elements for further "assessment."
Recently, the FBI appears to have conducted blanket surveillance of broad sections of the American Muslim community, leading to a number of foiled terrorist plots. However, a closer look into some of these foiled terrorist attempts reveals that the planning, materials, funding, and even transportation for these attacks have almost all been provided to these disgruntled young men by the FBI themselves.
This raises a very serious question: Would these young men still pose a terrorist threat to the U.S. had the FBI not engaged them, and even provided them with all the resources necessary to commit these acts of violence?
Though the legal definition of entrapment makes it hard to clearly define these cases as such, the methods used by the FBI in recent years create an impression of racial profiling on a scale reminiscent of the oppression of Japanese Americans during the Second World War. Apparently, the FBI feels that American Muslims are guilty by association until proven innocent through extensive, and extremely intrusive, surveillance campaigns.
In an article published by The Guardian (UK), Paul Harris interviewed former FBI informant Craig Monteilh, who gave an inside account of the FBI's domestic counter terrorism efforts. Monteilh, having been an integral part of the hunt for Muslim terrorists, characterized the methods used by the FBI as "…a joke, a real joke. There is no real hunt. It's fixed."
Monteilh began working for the FBI as a confidential informant in 2006, participating in an operation referred to as "Flex," where he posed as a Syrian by the name of Farouk Aziz. By this alias, Monteilh was ordered to spend time in Orange County, California, mosques and Islamic centers until the Muslim community there became comfortable enough to accept him as a fellow member. From there he was tasked with recording any and all conversations he had with members of the community, subtly suggesting radical ideas to those he talked to in hopes of luring out more extreme members.
According to Monteilh, the aim of his investigation was to record members saying specific words or phrases that could justify further investigations. "The skill is that I'm going to get you to say something. I am cornering you to say 'jihad.'" But that's not all Monteilh was tasked with doing. He even reports of being told to use private information about members of the Islamic community, such as individuals' being homosexual or having an affair, as blackmail in order to recruit more informants. In one case he was even told to have sex with women of the community in order to get closer to them. And despite his best efforts to "corner" members into saying the "right" words, or using their religious stigmas towards sexuality against them, Monteilh was unsuccessful in producing any material initiating a serious terrorist investigation. In fact, one of the communities that he was attempting to infiltrate got a restraining order against him and even reported him to the FBI, unaware that he was actually working for them.
Surely, however, this is an isolated incident of misconduct…this couldn't happen in a nation that respects the constitutionally protected civil liberties of ALL its citizens.
I wish I could say that was the truth.
According to an article written for The New York Times, of the 22 most frightening foiled terrorist plots since the September 11th, 2001 attacks, 14 have been the products of operations very similar to that described by Monteilh.
In 2009, four men were arrested in Newburgh, New Jersey, for planning to bomb Jewish synagogues and shoot down military aircraft with Stinger anti-aircraft missiles. Referred to as the Newburgh Four, and portrayed as hardcore "Islamic extremists," these men were all convicted and sentenced to lengthy jail terms. But after reviewing the case, it is hard not to notice that the profiles of these four men didn't fit those of hardened terrorist masterminds. Rather, their lives were characterized by drug and financial problems, criminal histories (for petty crimes), and in one case schizophrenia.
Furthermore, the fifth man involved in this plot, the one who provided the plans, weapons, transportation, and an offer of $250,000, a free car and vacation to the others, was none other than a well-paid FBI informant. This case has raised serious doubt as to whether these four men would have posed any sort of threat had they not been approached by an FBI agent who offered to pay large sums of money for their cooperation. Considering that one of the four, David Williams, was having trouble raising the money to pay for a much needed liver transplant for his sick brother, these men look more like paid thugs than terrorist masterminds.
Susanne Brody, an attorney representing one of the four, claimed that "We have as close to a legal entrapment case as I have ever seen."
Unfortunately, the list of cases nearly identical to these goes on, from the Liberty City Six, whose plans never surpassed the discussion stage, to the Fort Dix Five, where one FBI informant's past included attempted murder and another admitted in court that two of the men convicted were never aware of any terrorist plot (both were sentenced to life in prison). According to Mike German, a former FBI agent now working for the ACLU, "Most of these terrorist suspects had no access to weapons unless the government provided them. I would say that showed they were not the biggest threat to the U.S." According to German, the FBI has been expanding its tools for carrying out such investigations, something he considers a "terrible prospect."
But are the tools used in these cases legitimate, even by the FBI's own standards? According to the Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide (DIOG – FBI, 2008), these tactics are questionable at best. Section four of the DIOG, entitled "[O]n Privacy and Civil Liberties, and 'Least Intrusive Methods,'" it states that each investigation must have a clearly defined and approved purpose and that this purpose is prohibited from being "based solely on race, ethnicity, national origin or religion." What's more telling is, in section 4.2 B, on the exercise of religion, the DIOG states that,
…solely because prior subjects of an investigation of a particular group were members of a certain religion and they claimed a religious motivation for their acts of crime or terrorism, other members' mere affiliation with that religion, by itself, is not a basis to assess or investigate – absent a known and direct connection to the threat under assessment or investigation.
However, the blanket surveillance of Muslim communities in California described by Monteilh, and the recently uncovered case of NYPD eavesdropping on the entire New York Muslim community, seem to clearly violate these regulations. It has recently become ever clearer that many of these investigations have been initiated solely because these communities happen to be Muslim, with no prior evidence of suspicious behavior whatsoever. Assistant Chief Thomas Galati, head of NYPD's secret Demographics Unit charged with this task, admitted that after nearly six years of monitoring the Muslim community in New York they were unable to come up with a single investigation.
But it doesn't stop there.
The DIOG (Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide) places a heavy emphasis on the protection of First Amendment rights, stating that no investigations can be initiated based solely in response to ones expression of these rights, or solely to monitor their expression of them. Of course, however, freedom of speech in the United States does not protect all language.
The DIOG refers to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), where the court ruled that the government may not prohibit the advocacy of force or violence except when such activity is intended to provoke imminent (emphasis added by DIOG) lawless activity, and is likely to do so.
However, according to the testimony given by Monteilh, using the word "jihad" (which has two meanings, the main meaning having nothing to do with "holy war") was enough to initiate an investigation. But simply using the word "jihad" does not provoke imminent lawless behavior; therefore, being protected under the First Amendment rights that the FBI is prohibited from using as their sole justification for initiating an investigation.
The blanket recording of conversations with members of the Muslim community, all of whom had said absolutely nothing to provoke imminent lawless behavior, is a clear violation of both DIOG regulations and the Brandenburg (1969) ruling.
Lastly, the DIOG also mandates the use of the least intrusive methods possible for conducting intelligence gathering operations and lists the use of wiretaps, electronic surveillance, and informants as "very intrusive." The fact that the FBI has chosen to use such methods, especially on populations and individuals that have presented no prior evidence of wrongdoing, suggests that this regulation means little to the Bureau.
Though the FBI has played a significant role in keeping America safe from further terrorist attacks, it also seems clear that some of their efforts have been severely misguided, even jeopardizing their ability to do the best job possible. The fact that Monteilh was reported to the FBI by the very community he was trying to infiltrate, suggests that these investigations are an unwarranted waste of valuable resources; and one of the most valuable resources in the counter terrorism efforts of the FBI, according to the DIOG, is "the trust and confidence of the American public." Ironically, the very next statement in the DIOG is, "…and because that trust and confidence can be significantly shaken by our failure to respect the limits of our power, special care must be taken by all employees to comply with these limitations."
However, many experts agree that the FBI's recent conduct regarding such cases has created an atmosphere of distrust within the American Muslim community. According to civil rights groups, American Muslims feel as if they are being unjustly targeted by the authorities for investigations simply because of their faith, "triggering a natural fear of the authorities among people that should be a vital defense against real terror attacks."
Instead of alienating the Muslim population, whose cooperation is essential to counter terrorism efforts, the FBI should push itself to comply with their own procedures and legal precedent established by the nation's highest court, and focus their energy on investigating proven threats to society. This would help to rebuild the trust of the American Muslim community, as well as put pressure on the individuals that actually intend to do harm.

'Jeopardy!: Greatest of All Time'…
'Jeopardy!: Greatest of All Time' resumes; will we get a winner tonight?
The clash of the brainiac titans has been a ratings hit for ABC
By Chuck Barney | cbarney@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: January 14, 2020 at 2:54 pm | UPDATED: January 14, 2020 at 3:43 pm
After taking a break for a few days, "Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time" tournament resumes Tuesday night (8 p.m., ABC), as Ken Jennings, James Holzhauer and Brad Rutter battle for a $1 million prize.
Here's where we stand so far:
Host Alex Trebek has presided over three rounds — six games — with Jennings and Holzhauer trading victories. Jennings captured Round 1 by a slim margin — winning by just $200. Holzhauer took Round 2 and Jennings came back to capture the latest hour in a rout.
That means the tournament could end tonight if Jennings prevails. If he doesn't, we keep going until someone has captured three rounds. The eventual winner will earn $1 million, while both runner-ups will take home $250,000. (The latest possible end date is Friday).
If Jennings does win, he can give Holzhauer at least partial credit. Holzhauer, who teasingly called Jennings' style of play "wimpy," brought an aggressive, risk-taking approach to the game during his electrifying streak last year — and Jennings took note.
"The good thing about this tournament was we all knew going in who the finalists were going to be," Jennings told reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour. "So we can look at tape. I feel like an offensive coordinator watching James in slow motion, because you want to figure out how he did that. It's the most remarkable thing I've ever seen on the show.
"Once somebody breaks the glass on doubling up, you gotta do it as well," he added. "You realize that Brad and I are going to have to take big chances. We're going to have to play like James or we risk getting steamrolled by the original."
So far, just about everything about the epic event has lived up to expectations. The competition has been fierce, the ratings robust and the questions difficult. The tournament has also given a prime-time spotlight to the continued greatness of Trebek, who is battling Stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
About the only disappointment thus far has been Rutter. He's the game's all-time winningest contestant — with earnings of $4,688,436 — and was considered by many fans to be the favorite going in. But his performances have been lackluster and he has been a non-factor, finishing in third all three nights. Can he pull off a crazy comeback?
As far as the ratings go, the numbers have actually climbed from 16 million on Night 1 to 17 million on Night 3. "Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time" reigned as last week's top entertainment program, and ranks as this season's most-watched TV special, behind only the Golden Globe Awards.

We believe in xylitol as a natural cavity preventing sugar that will not only restore the pH balance of your mouth, and in turn prevent decay, it will also freshen your breath and help those who suffer from dry mouth syndrome. Xylitol has been shown in studies to help stimulate saliva production and alter the bacteria's natural metabolism process so that you are less prone to decay.
We carry a fluoride rinse that is sweetened with xylitol as well. It is perfect for patients prone to tooth decay, sensitivity, dry mouth, or gingivitis and periodontitis. Using the rinse and toothpaste together make an ideal combination for patients prone to dental problems. It restores the pH balance of the oral cavity, helps to stimulate saliva production to help fight dry mouth, and both contain antimicrobial properties.
This is one of the best toothpastes available on the market today. It is fluoride free, cruelty free, gluten free and contains a medical hydroxyapatite ingredient that restores the enamel surface and helps to strengthen without fluoride. It is also antimicrobial, excellent for patients prone to tooth decay, and effective for sensitive teeth as it also acts as a desensitizer.
We carry the Sonicare Flex model as at a very competitive price as we believe the best clean can be achieved with an electric toothbrush. This is perfect for patients with recession, aggressive brushing tendencies, and those who tend to build up more plaque naturally. We also carry replacement heads!

When I stepped out the front door, I discovered the entire north-west sky lit up by a huge orange fireball. There's a new "luxury executive" townhouse complex being built over in that direction, and sure enough it turned out that the entire complex was up in flames. This is the second time in five months that the same complex has been torched, the first took out 8 units. This one destroyed over 75% of the site, about 57 units by one count.

Maharashtra to soon roll out policy to combat terror threat
The Maharashtra Chief Minister even held a brainstorming meeting with various government departments regard this last week.
By: Express News Service | Mumbai |
November 30, 2015 3:12:39 am
Soon after reports of some Muslim youth from Maharashtra being attracted to the ideology of Islamic State came to the fore, senior Home Department officials have confirmed that the Devendra Fadnavis government is in the final stages of rolling out a policy on deradicalisation, the main objective of which will be to dissuade Muslim youth from adopting extremist ideology.
The counter-radicalisation strategy will focus on bettering education, healthcare and civic amenities in minority-dominated areas to counter the threat posted by the Islamic State and other fundamentalist groups. Even as the Centre is working on a countrywide deradicalisation programme, Maharashtra is readying its own blueprint to combat the menace.
The Maharashtra Chief Minister even held a brainstorming meeting with various government departments regard this last week. In an acknowledgement of the development backlog in minority-dominated regions, the government's policy, revealed sources, talks of increasing public spending in such regions and making coordinated efforts towards bettering water supply, sanitation facilities, healthcare, and transportation infrastructure in minority dominated belts of the state including Melagaon, Meraj, Bhiwandi among others. It further states that the goverment must take steps to "increase access to modern education" in Muslim-dominated backward belts to complement education in madrassas.
The government is also planning new scholarships to arrest the high drop-out ratio in these regions' schools. There is also a plan to construct hostels in every district in the state, for young Muslim girls interested in pursuing higher education. The government is also planning to take steps to ensure that women doctors from the community are available in taluka-level government healthcare facilities in such pockets, an official said.
While the home department will coordinate the counter-radicalisation efforts in the state, a senior BJP minister said that the policy's implementation will also involve authorities from urban development, education, higher education, women and child development, labour, and minorities departments among others. Incidentally, sources confirmed that the minorities department had earlier objected to a suggestion in the policy document that Muslim youth were vulnerable in the face of radicalisation attempts. The government dropped this mention later to avoid a controversy.

But thanks to the good sports who decided to take the plunge and play the DIY game, we survived. And, a year later, there are some mighty fine examples of worn-in Campus jackets out there.
We were rewarded by all the cool evolution shots, every patient new owner molding his Campus to his own liking, for some breaking it in for the next generation.
One way to do it was expertly documented on the Vintage Engineer Boots website by our friend USMC MSgt John V.
Whether hands-on or via social media photos, witnessing this fun natural patina process might have hopefully convinced a few skeptical individuals that the 'worn look' will come… naturally.
Our Campus jacket went from a 'raw' light pink to warm shades of orange, with basically sun exposure and wear. Nothing revolutionary for you salty bunch, but an apparent novelty for some who hold factory-distressed clothes as the norm, because they are 'comfortable' straight off the rack… My apologies to the choir for the broken record.
Long story short, this was a New Old Stock lot of genuine vegetable-tanned lamb hides from Italy (I found some remnants of paperwork in the rolled skins).
Although a definite departure from the rugged look of a worn cowhide Campus jacket, I felt that a black Italian lamb Campus would not be too shabby of an addition to the Mister Freedom® Sportsman catalog. Next thing I remember, I was driving off with my lamb loot.
For extra fun and because we had way too much time on our hands this summer, the originally solid dark brown corozo buttons we selected for the project were left in the sun for several weeks. This gave 'life' to the wood grain and veins, making each button unique, and puzzling the neighbors in the process. Yes, we laid each button flat in several trays, one by one, then put the trays on the roof for a tan. We then sat down and stared for over a month. Don't worry, we took turns.
Now, if you're very bored one day, check the back side of a button, for an idea of its original color.
The black lamb Campus is ready to go, just requires to be worn as-is, without any pre-treatment or efforts.
This is not a workwear-type coat meant for field work and rugged treatment, including storing nails in the pockets. You wear this on a date. Or to get a date, when cargo shorts don't cut it.
Bottom line, should both arms of our Black Lamb Campus get tied to two draft horses pulling in opposite directions, we guarantee the jacket will rip in half.
PATTERN: An original pattern inspired by 1930's sportswear type lightweight leather jackets.
Genuine Italian vegetable tanned lamb leather, exclusive to the USA production. The leather is BLACK.
* Sun-tanned brown 'Cat Eyes' corrozo wood buttons (aka ivory nut), backed by 1920's NOS French antique glass buttons (some jackets will have black, some will have iridescent white-colored back-buttons).
This is quite a delicate jacket, not intended to be worn while working in the field but rather as a dress-up garment.
It does not require any type of pre-treatment and is ready to wear as-is.
After a few years of normal use, professional care or conditioning might be considered and left to a veg-tanned leather specialist. Again, DO NOT immerse in water.
The cut of the Campus is quite snug, depending of course on your own built. I wear a snug 38, my usual size in MF® jackets, with a simple Tshirt or light shirt underneath.
Like its cowhide predecessor, this black lamb model is true to size. It is not anticipated that the lamb leather will stretch/'shrink' with normal wear.
Please refer to sizing chart for approx measurements, identical to our 2013 natural cowhide Campus jacket.

Track Action
BMW M Festival – Is M The Most Powerful Letter In The Alphabet ?
May 31st, 2017 John Galvin (JSG) BMW, High Performance, M Model, Track Action 0 comments
Monday mornings are usually nothing to be excited about, it's the start of the work week, and it's usually preferred to stuff your head under a pillow and hope it just goes away. But this Monday was different, this Monday was the first day of the 2017 BMW M Festival, which I have been invited to. This made getting out of bed at 4:45 am to get to Wellington Airport at 5:45 am so that I catch the 6:15 am flight to Auckland one of the easiest things I have ever done. I knew that at the other end of this trip, there would be the entire BMW M range waiting to be tested around Hampton Downs.
After a quick briefing, we got right into it. And I must say it was hard to pick where to begin. So with no real logic to it, I decided that we should just start at the bottom and work my way up.
BMW M2 – I had yet to drive the M2, and I must admit that my expectation was quickly reached. This was one cheeky and feisty compact performance coupe. From the get go, you notice it has less in the way of toys, like the HUD that every other M vehicle has. Why? Well its because BMW wanted this to be a more tactile experience, more in tune with the original M cars. And with less distraction, you were able to focus becoming one with the car. The balance seemed to be almost perfect, so nimble and light on its feet. And the sound was to die for, each time you asked for more, you got it. The inline 6-cylinder, pumping out 272kw and 465Nm of torque, propels this car from 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds. And after each power request, if that sound was not enough, you were applauded with some snaps and pops. it was like the gift that keeps on giving.
My 10c – I am not sure I would want this car as an everyday driver, but as a track focused toy, it would be hard to beat.
BMW M3 – The most iconic of them all: the M3. Now only available as a 4 door sedan, with no signs of there ever being a touring or coupe variant again. DriveLife had been at the M3 and M4 launch at Hampton Downs, so I knew what to expect. This car handles like a dream, carving up the salmon course we experienced. And it did it surprisingly enough in an ever so slightly quicker time than the M2, which I put down to smoother power delivery. The majority of the drivers found the same thing. Spec wise, the M3 has 317kw and 550Nm of torque, which allows it to reach 100km/h in just 4.1 seconds. The M3 did what anyone would have expected of it time and time again. Even after an hour of continuous laps around the track, there was no sign of it faltering.
My 10c – If you can only have one M car, The M3 is it. It's mad, it sounds amazing, and it's 4-door family practical.
BMW M4 – The M4 is much like the M3 in overall performance and feel also delivering 317kw and 550Nm of torque. The weight difference between the two cars is very minimal too. Which is seen by the exact same 0-100km/h time of 4.1 seconds. You do however get what feels like a better and lower driving position, that taller people like myself find a lot more comfortable or natural. Both cars sound great but different, and the same can be said with the driving feel: so close, but different. It may have been the red mist that caused the death of a plastic cone through the salmon, but you just can help getting excited and fully absorbed into its M heritage when behind the wheel.
My 10c – Between the M3 and M4, this one is my personal favorite, as I have a weakness for a coupe. And the styling feels that little bit more aggressive
BMW M5 – At the end of its life cycle the BMW M5 was a great car to have in the lineup to test. It's an Autobahn demon with a badge that every enthusiast knows well. This was another car I had not driven, however, I knew what it was all about as I daily drive the direct competitor; the Audi RS6. Comfortable, stylish and powerful, this super executive performance car, can take you from coast to coast without feeling drained and maybe even hitting a track on the way through. Its age was starting to show, with a twin turbo V8 that has 412kw and 680Nm of torque, its 0-100 time was 4.3 seconds – 0.2 slower than the M3 and M4 and the same as the M2. But all that highlighted was the progression of technology. This was very obvious after testing it back to back with the rest of the lineup. The M5 is a great car and handles so well for its size. However when you compare it to the new X5M, it is not as nimble, or aggressive, which leads me to think if the next M5 will be on the same platform, it will be astonishing.
My 10c – If you're looking for style, ultimate comfort, and 4 door practicality, and your wallet is deep, then this is the one for you. But you might want to wait for the new model that's just around the corner.
BMW M6 – Much like the M4 compared to the M3, the M6 is the very similar to the M5. If you're not after extra doors or just don't have any friends you want in your nice BMW, then the M6 might be your cup of tea. Also at the end of its life cycle, I was surprised to find that there was a rather noticeable difference between the M6 and M5 – more so than the M3 and M4. Sounds were very different, with a richer and deeper grumble, which I loved. And the lower seating position again is perfect for taller people. Pushing out the same power, 412kw and 680Nm of torque, delivering 100km/h in 4.2 seconds. I found that I was having a bit more fun in the M6 compared to the M5. But this may just be my weakness for the coupe and mixing this with the richer sound may have sealed the deal for my subconscious.
My 10c – For style and comfort this can't be beaten, and as long as you don't need more than 2 doors this grand touring is a formidable bit of kit you won't be disappointed with. I just can't wait to see what the next one will be like.
BMW X5M – This was the obvious Titan on the track. Like a hippopotamus trying to hide amongst a herd of gazelles. This thing was massive, and you could not help to think what are BMW thinking? Are they just slapping an M badge on anything they can find these days? Surely this school bus would be left in the dust of the real M cars. And I must admit, I did think that for a bit.
But once you climb aboard, and start it up, you quickly realise how savage this hippopotamus is. Sitting up front is the twin turbo V8, making 423kw and 750NM, that tows this monster from 0-100km/h in 4.2 seconds. That's faster than the M2.
OK, so its got so much power that its fast in a straight line, that's not hard to do. Once on the track, we will see it fail on the first corner. Out on the track we went, and we sat behind an M5, M3 and M6. Those numbers and letters are iconic, and normally not to be trifled with. But the X5M was jaw-droppingly amazing. With the M2 button was set to sport plus, I sat in behind each one of the M cars without breaking a sweat – or falling out of my seat for that matter. It's like some physics-defying technology that keeps this 2.2-ton behemoth, on the track, at speed, no matter the corner. This to me was the most impressive vehicle of the day, it should not be able to do what it does, but it can, and it does it as well as any of the other M cars at the track.
My 10c – The X5M is not a SUV anyone needs, it's something you want. And that's because it's so silly and that every time you drive it you will be left with a stupid grin on your face.
BMW have a bold claim, stating that M is the most powerful letter in the alphabet. And as they old saying goes, "put your money where your mouth is". BMW have done just that, leaving us with an eye-watering, drool-covered decision to make. Thankfully, BMW seem to have something for everyone. With that being said, If I could have them all I would. And if I just had to pick one, then it would be the M2 for me, as I already have a pretty decent daily driver.

It started at a young age with bedroom posters, the Countach of course. This slowly grew into a super car die-cast model collection, fifty five 1:18 models at the last count. At which point it had almost taken full control, the incurable Mad Car Disease ran deep though my veins all the way to the bone. And things for my loved ones just got worse as the cars where now being bought at 1:1 scale, after a BMW, HSV, and couple of Audi's, the disease reached my brain, pushing me over the edge and down the rabbits hole into the world of the bedroom poster.
