«We are excited to partner with Boeing as we assist Japan in advancing its aerial refueling capabilities», said Brigadier General Donna Shipton, program executive officer, U.S. Air Force Tanker Directorate. «This is an important step in strengthening the U.S.-Japan alliance and will enhance our interoperability with both nations flying KC-46s».
«This milestone order highlights a valued partnership with Japan that spans more than six decades, and we look forward to continuing that collaboration on the KC-46 program», added Brett Gerry, president, Boeing Japan. «The skilled Japanese KC-767 tanker and E-767 Airborne Warning and Control Systems pilots and maintenance personnel are already familiar with flying and supporting our highly efficient aircraft, and we look forward to helping them expand their capabilities in the future».
The first Boeing KC-46A Pegasus tanker that will be delivered to the U.S. Air Force next year successfully completed its first flight and airborne tests on December 5, 2017, taking off from Paine Field at 10:32 a.m. PST and landing approximately three-and-one-half hours later.
The U.S. Air Force today awarded Boeing $2.1 billion for 15 KC-46A Pegasus tanker aircraft, spare engines and wing air refueling pod kits. This order is the third low-rate initial production lot for Boeing. The first two came in August 2016 and included seven and 12 planes, respectively, as well as spare parts.
Boeing plans to build 179 of the 767-based refueling aircraft for the U.S. Air Force to replace its legacy tanker fleet. Tanker deliveries will begin later this year.
«This award is great news for the joint Boeing-Air Force team and reinforces the need for this highly efficient and capable tanker aircraft», said Mike Gibbons, Boeing KC-46A Pegasus tanker vice president and program manager. «Our Boeing industry team is hard at work building and testing KC-46 Pegasus aircraft, and we look forward to first delivery».
«Placing an order for another 15 aircraft is another important milestone for the KC-46 Pegasus program», said Colonel John Newberry, U.S. Air Force KC-46 Pegasus System program manager. «I know the warfighter is excited about bringing this next generation capability into the inventory».
Boeing received an initial contract in 2011 to design and develop the U.S. Air Force's next-generation tanker aircraft. As part of that contract, Boeing built four test aircraft – two configured as 767-2Cs and two as KC-46A Pegasus tankers. Those test aircraft, along with the first production plane, have completed nearly 1,500 flight hours to date.
Boeing is assembling KC-46 Pegasus aircraft at its Everett, Washington, facility.
The Boeing test team successfully completed the first flight of the program's second KC-46A Pegasus tanker aircraft on March 2, taking off from Paine Field and landing later at Boeing Field in Seattle. During the flight, Boeing test pilots performed operational checks on engines, flight controls and environmental systems.
«Adding a second tanker to the flight test program is very important as we move into the next phase of testing», said Colonel John Newberry, U.S. Air Force KC-46 System program manager. «The team will initially use the aircraft to test mission system avionics and exterior lighting. Later, it will share the air refueling effort with the first KC-46».
The Boeing team now will conduct a post-flight inspection and calibrate instrumentation prior to the next series of flights. As part of the overall flight test program, the KC-46 Pegasus will demonstrate it can refuel 18 different aircraft. The second tanker will help share the test load and receiver certification.
Boeing was awarded a contract in 2011 to design and develop the U.S. Air Force's next-generation tanker aircraft and is building four test aircraft – two are currently configured as 767-2Cs and two as KC-46A Pegasus tankers.
Engineering & Manufacturing and Development-1 (EMD-1), a 767-2C test aircraft, has completed more than 260 flight test hours to date since its first flight in December 2014. EMD-2, the program's first KC-46A Pegasus tanker, made its maiden flight September 25, 2015 and has now completed more than 180 flight test hours. EMD-3, a 767-2C, will begin flight testing later this year.
The KC-46A Pegasus is a multirole tanker Boeing is building for the U.S. Air Force that can refuel all allied and coalition military aircraft compatible with international aerial refueling procedures and can carry passengers, cargo and patients. Overall, Boeing plans to build 179 KC-46 Pegasus aircraft for the U.S. Air Force.
Boeing and U.S. Air Force aircrews successfully completed the KC-46A tanker's first refueling flight on January 24 in the skies above Washington state. Following takeoff from Boeing Field in Seattle, the KC-46A test team worked through a series of test points before smoothly offloading 1,600 pounds/726 kg of fuel to an F-16 fighter aircraft flying at 20,000 feet/6,096 meter.
«Today's flight is an important milestone for the Air Force/Boeing team because it kicks off the Milestone C aerial refueling demonstration, which is the prerequisite for the Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) decision», said Colonel Christopher Coombs, U.S. Air Force KC-46 system program manager. «We have a lot of work yet to do, but this is an exciting time for the airmen who are preparing to fly, maintain and support the KC-46 Pegasus for decades to come».
During the 5 hour and 43-minute flight, both Boeing and U.S. Air Force air refueling operators accomplished multiple contacts with the F-16 that confirmed the system was ready to transfer fuel. Master Sergeant Lindsay Moon, U.S. Air Force KC-46 air refueling operator, then «flew» the tanker's 56-foot/17-meter boom downward and waited for the F-16 to move into position before fully extending the boom into its refueling receptacle.
«The KC-46 offloaded fuel to the fighter and when the fuel transfer was complete, the system automatically turned off the pumps and Moon smoothly retracted the boom. The refueling boom's handling qualities throughout the flight were exceptional», said Rickey Kahler, Boeing KC-46 air refueling operator who also guided the boom during contacts with the F-16 while sitting in the tanker's state-of-the-art refueling operator station in the front of the tanker. «The boom was extremely stable – it handled like it was an extension of my arm».
The KC-46A that accomplished today's refueling milestone will soon begin refueling a number of other military aircraft as well, including a C-17, F/A-18, A-10 and AV-8B. Also known as Engineering & Manufacturing Development-2 (EMD-2), the tanker made its first flight September 25, 2015 and has now completed 32 flights.
The KC-46A Pegasus notched another success this week when the systems at the heart of aerial refueling were demonstrated on Engineering, Manufacturing and Development 2 (EMD-2) with the deployment of both drogue systems and the boom. On October 8, EMD-2 successfully extended the drogue refueling baskets from both the Centerline Drogue System (CDS), located on the belly of the fuselage, and from the Wing Aerial Refueling Pods (WARP), located on the wing tips, for probe receiver aircraft. On October 9, EMD-2 extended the boom, the telescoping tube, which an operator on the tanker aircraft extends to receptacle-equipped receiver aircraft.
«The core mission of Pegasus is to fuel the fight, so deploying the boom and drogues signals real progress toward demonstrating the ability to pass fuel in flight», said Brigadier General Duke Z. Richardson, the program executive officer for tankers at the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. «This sets the stage for the main act, which is hooking up to and refueling an aircraft in flight».
The rigid, centerline boom used on the KC-135 Stratotanker and KC-10 Extender, has been the Air Force standard for in-flight refueling since the 1950s. With a 1,200 gallons per minute transfer rate from the KC-46, the boom will be the fastest way to refuel. Like all previous tankers, the Pegasus can refuel a single aircraft at a time on the boom.
On the other hand, Air Force helicopters and all Navy and Marine Corps aircraft use the hose and drogue method of refueling. The two drogue systems on the KC-46, CDS and WARPs, pass fuel at a rate of 400 gpm, and the WARPs can refuel more than one aircraft at a time. The KC-46A is a leap forward, as it can conduct boom and drogue refueling on a single mission without landing to reconfigure.
«These capability gains are vital to the tanker mission in support of global reach and global power providing the U.S. military the ability to extend the range of aircraft to respond wherever it's called to duty», said Colonel Christopher Coombs, the KC-46 system program manager. «This tanker will be able to refuel any fixed-wing aircraft or helicopter in the (Defense Department) fleet, while being able to take on fuel itself».
The Air Force contracted with Boeing in February 2011 to acquire 179 KC-46As to begin recapitalizing the aging tanker fleet. The program is currently working to meet the required assets available date, a milestone requiring 18 KC-46As and all necessary support equipment to be on the ramp, ready to support warfighter needs by August 2017.

Home Nursing Discussion Question1: Shared Governance
Discussion Question1: Shared Governance
Week 3 – Assignment 1 Discussion Discussion Question 1: Shared Governance Structure and the CNO During the 1980s, nursing and healthcare were suffering from challenges of an acute nursing shortage, rampant nurse turnover, and issues with nurse retention. In the mid-1980s, shared governance was instituted to incentivize and empower nurses. Shared governance is an innovative organizational model promoting staff control and autonomy over nursing practice in areas that were previously controlled by managers. The concept of shared governance may be a challenge to understand because it is not uniformly applied or operationalized and because of the great diversity in shared governance models. Nurses working in organizations with shared governance models are more empowered and have higher levels of satisfaction in their roles. Using the readings for the week, the South University Online Library, and the Internet, respond to the following: Compare the roles of the CNO and nursing directors or managers in a shared governance structure. What steps can the CNO take to enable smooth operations in such a structure? Identify two challenges CNOs face when working with a shared governance structure. Compare and contrast a model of shared governance with an authoritarian or autocratic CNO. Examine the role of the CNO in working to set parameters for nurses in a shared governance structure. Comment on the postings of at least two peers. Evaluation Criteria: Compared the roles of the CNO and nursing directors or managers in a shared governance structure. Listed steps the CNO can take to enable smooth operations in such a structure. Identified two challenges CNOs face when working with a shared governance structure. Compared and contrasted a model of shared governance with an authoritarian or autocratic CNO. Examined the role of the CNO in working to set parameters for nurses in a shared governance structure. Justified your answers with appropriate research and reasoning. Commented on the postings of at least two peers. DQ2 Discussion Question 2: Staff Concerns and the CNO Often, gossip mills and rumors tend to circulate very quickly throughout healthcare organizations even though everything is supposed to be confidential. Good and bad news travel quickly; one of the greatest challenges the CNO or vice president for patient care services (VPPCS) faces is to control and share information with the staff members so that they receive the same message in the same way at the same time. Using the readings for the week, the South University Online Library, and the Internet, respond to the following: What role does the CNO or VPPCS play in addressing the concerns of the entire staff in nursing town-hall meetings? Why is this role important? Provide an example of a need for the CNO or VPPCS to schedule an entire staff town-hall meeting. How can the CNO or VPPCS minimize gossip and information via the "grapevine" before an entire staff town-hall meeting? How would you craft an agenda and circulate it for a town-hall meeting? How can the CNO or VPPCS integrate the use of electronic and social media into addressing staff concerns in twenty-first-century healthcare organizations? Comment on the postings of at least two peers. Evaluation Criteria: Described the role of the CNO or VPPCS in addressing the concerns of the entire staff in nursing town-hall meetings, and explained the importance of this role. Provided an example of a need for the CNO or VPPCS to schedule an entire staff town-hall meeting. Suggested ways in which the CNO or VPPCS can minimize gossip and information via the "grapevine" before an entire staff town-hall meeting. Explained how you would craft an agenda and circulate it for a town-hall meeting. Recommended ways in which the CNO or VPCSS can integrate the use of electronic and social media into addressing staff concerns in twenty-first-century healthcare organizations. Justified your answers with appropriate research and reasoning. Commented on the postings of at least two peers.

When 3D printing originally exploded onto the technology scene worldwide, it was recognized as an incredible new tool for innovation and was and has continued to be embraced wildly, despite operating at excruciatingly slow speeds to begin with, offering the ability to print something, but have it in your hands…tomorrow. Well. That's certainly changed. While high precision and reliability are key, speed is on the priority list for every manufacturer these days, along with offering standalone machines, mobile apps so that you never have to get off the couch or come home from the beach just to check on a print, as well as prices that have dropped significantly.
Recently, those attending a 3D printing exhibition in Tokyo were able to catch a glimpse of what currently holds the title as the world's fastest 3D printer. Manufactured by South Korean company Carima, the C-CAT (for Continuous Additive 3D Printing Technology) new printing technology was displayed in the form of the 'Imp' model–a 3D printer to be released this year, geared toward industries such as jewelry, dental, and more, offering great flexibility and latitude for users in terms of materials.
The original design was shown off last year at EuroMold, wowing crowds with its super speed and high accuracy, all which occurs with continuous printing. Carima holds a patent for this DLP technology, which has already been ranked as the 7th best industrial printer worldwide. Carima has so far been exporting it to Asia, Europe, Egypt, and other areas. Currently, the company offers a product lineup with the DP110E (with a build size of 110 x 82 x 190 mm) for offices, and EV models, such as the Master EV (with a build size of 200 x 112 x 200 mm), for industrial 3D printing.
C-CAT technology can print 60㎤ per hour with layer thickness of 0.001 mm. It offers incredibly fast technology compared to existing speeds of printing 2~3㎤ per hour with layer thicknesses of 0.1 mm. With the Imp being released soon, users will be able to look forward to printing at super high speeds and working with plastic materials, those that are more flexible, and casting wax.
Founded in 2000, this innovative company has received numerous accolades and achievement awards all along the way. Carima also offers 3D printing services in Korea, allowing users to simply email files, choose materials and the specific printing size for their models, which are then shipped. Discuss your thoughts on this hot new technology in the Fastest 3D Printer in the World forum over at 3DPB.com.

Apparently, Bill Paxton formed a band in the late 80's with members of Devo and the B-52's. He called up his directing buddy James Cameron to direct a music video and the result is this ridiculous (and ridiculously entertaining) Western. Interesting note: the lead female gunslinger is Kathryn Bigelow, Cameron's ex-wife, current friend and his rival for this year's Best Director Oscar.

SEMA eNews Vol. 17, No. 49, December 4, 2014
EPA Proposes Stricter Limits on Ozone Pollution
in Law & Order Government Affairs Automotive Legislation
By SEMA Washington, D.C., Staff
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants to lower the ozone pollution standard limits to between 65 and 70 parts per billion rather than the current 75 parts per billion. The EPA contends that the stricter standard is needed to address asthma and other respiratory problems it associates with exposure to ground-level ozone, also known as smog. While there are many sources for these pollutants, stationary sources, including utilities, factories and refineries, could be a primary target.
If the rule is finalized, the deadlines for implementation would be staggered over many years based on whether a region is already complying with the current rule or still struggling to meet the 1997 standard of 84 parts per billion. Subject to EPA oversight, states and local municipalities would decide which pollution control methods to pursue to bring their region into compliance.
The EPA estimates that costs to comply with the standard by 2025 would range from $3–$15 billion with a public-health benefit of between $6.4–$19 billion.

Q: UIPageView UIWebView Prefetch I am making an app with the UIPageViewController. Right now I just have a UIWebView in each page. Right now I run [_webView loadRequest:requestObj]; inside viewWillAppear. It works ok but there is a lag when the page will show up as the http request is sent out right when the gesture recognizer handles the event for the page flip.
I tried writing some code inside
- (UIViewController *)pageViewController:(UIPageViewController *)pageViewController viewControllerBeforeViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController

but I couldn't get it to work.
Whats a good way to prefetch the UIWebView for next page before flipping to make the page show up instantly when page is being flipped?

A: Create two web views, one displayed in your view, one offscreen. Whenever you need to move from page to page, start loading your new content into the offscreen one and in viewWillAppear: add the offscreen webview to your view hierarchy. Finally, in the previous view controller's viewDidDisappear: call removeFromSuperview on what was your previous web view. Now the original is your offscreen web view.
Remember that these web views should be shared between all your views (and view controllers), so they should be in a shared location.

CFP: Black Lives Matter
Posted on July 27, 2015 by Catherine Gander
The October Dialogues 2015: Black Lives Matter
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the American Civil Rights Movement and the 50th anniversary of the UK Race Relations Act, during Black History Month, please join the Centre for Research in Race and Rights (University of Nottingham), Bright Ideas Nottingham, the Monitoring Group and Nottingham Contemporary for The October Dialogues 2015:
Black Lives Matter: The Past, Present and Future of an International Movement for Rights and Justice
Nottingham Contemporary, The Space
9.30am-5pm
Plus an evening of Hip Hop performance and dialogues featuring Akala and activist-scholars Dr. Monica Miller and Dr. James Peterson (Lehigh University) (6.30-9pm).
Stephen Lawrence. Eric Garner. Mark Duggan. Michael Brown. Sean Rigg. Trayvon Martin. Olaseni Lewis. Freddie Gray. Kingsley Burrell. Oscar Grant. Smiley Culture. Mya Hall. Cynthia Jarrett. Tamir Rice. Julian Cole. Tony Robinson. Cherry Groce. Walter Scott. Colin Roach. Rodney King. Demetre Fraser. Sandra Bland. Azelle Rodney. #SayTheirNames #ICantBreathe #HandsUpDontShoot #BlackLivesMatter
The rallying calls of a new movement have spread across the US and the UK. There have been around 1000 Black Lives Matter protests worldwide in the last two years, including in at least 10 UK cities. There are now 30 Black Lives Matter chapters across the United States. The movement responds to the oppression, violence and exclusion that shapes black lives: in the US, 42% of black children are educated in high-poverty schools, black Americans are 37% of the country's homeless population, constitute nearly half of the 2 million jail population, and are 26% of those killed by police (though are 13% of the population). In the UK, black children are more than twice as likely as white children to be living in poverty, black people are six times as likely as whites to be stopped and searched, are more likely to go to jail when convicted of similar crimes and will serve longer sentences, are twice as likely to be not in employment, education or training, and are more likely to be forcibly restrained when held under mental health legislation. "I Can't Breathe" evokes the suffocating daily reality of all these statistics.
A series of panels featuring activists and researchers will explore the roots, dynamics and possible futures of #BlackLivesMatter. Is it a movement or a moment? A transatlantic or an American phenomenon? How does it operate on local, regional, national or international levels? Does it have a leader? What characterises its rhetoric, visual culture and philosophies? Is it a new civil rights movement, a new Black Power movement or a new black feminism? Did Black Lives Matter bring down the Confederate flag? Push President Obama to speak with a new voice? What is its protest heritage—does it draw from the lessons, tactics and legacies of anti-slavery, anti-lynching, the Black Panthers, Anti-Apartheid, or other movements? Is there a usable past for Black Lives Matter and what is that protest memory in the U.S. and UK? What should #BlackLivesMatterUK be about? What is the history of Black Lives Matter since the UK Race Relations Act and the U.S. Civil Rights Movement of 50 years ago, and where is Black Lives Matter going next?
Please send a 200-word abstract on these or related topics and a short biographical note to C3R@nottingham.ac.uk by August 24. Panels will be announced by the end of August. In particular we welcome presentations by postgraduate and early-career researchers (within 5 years of the PhD). Funding will cover UK travel and accommodation for presenters, and registration is free.

Mike has a knack for cutting through the crap which is why he found a permanent home here.
You can email Mike at mikev@stealingshare.com.
Corbin Rusch, Senior Brand Strategist
Corbin has held positions in many industries that have enabled him to gain practical experience into stealing market share. Before joining the group of senior branding consultants at Stealing Share he was a corporate strategist and respected writer..
He is a specialist in the music, finance, beer, packaged goods, banking, consumer products, healthcare and medical sectors where he is considered THE expert.
"Details ARE part of the big picture"
Corbin had led global teams in the rebranding of St. Jude Medical, Biomimetic, SECU, Medtronic and Wright Medical. Not to mention American Fidelity, and Genesis Healthcare. Corbin's specialty is in simplifying complex brands. He is a quick study.
"There are many ways to approach building brands, but most of them are DEAD wrong," says Corbin.
"You are wasting your money and time. Markets are mature. And, target audiences are finding ways to get those products and services through lots of venues.
Cut the shit
The task of branding consultants is to cut through that horseshit and find what is meaningful to the market.
So, consumers choose you. Position your brand AGAINST the competition and make sure you can deliver the single-minded brand promise. Those who do that, win."
Corbin does everything in his own way. Strategy is the root of all his activities. It makes him a leader in his community and large extended family. The go-to-guy who solves problems.
Holding an MBA, Corbin doesn't intimidate or suffer fools easily. Believe it or not, he is also nicer than the rest of us.
You can email Corbin at corbinr@stealingshare.com.
JoAnne Cross, President Resultant Research
JoAnne's knack for understanding what brand research can achieve changes everything. It set our world upside down.
With a degree in Sociology, she is our research head and also one of our branding consultants. As a brand anthropologist, she focuses on designing qualitative and quantitative research so that it uncovers what drives brand preference.
She focuses our research on flaying the belief systems. Systems that control purchasing behaviors. So, social and psychological forces can be used to create preference. JoAnne works closely with the Stealing Share brand consultants and all the creative staff.
"Methodology matters."
Once a brand finds opportunity in the research, JoAnne makes sure it is reflected in everything Stealing Share does. She holds everyone's feet to the fire.
"Research is more than just usage and attitudes," she says. "Those are important. But, it's more valuable to approach market research from an anthropological point of view. You have to grasp what people believe to change behavior."
JoAnne brings her share of careful, innovative thinking and energy to Stealing Share and Resultant. And, is our resident expert in market segmentation.
Her attention to detail had made her a leader in the Stealing Share and Resultant offices. Her opinions are always based on projectable data.
As a result, her consumer insights and ability to tease important facts out of detailed brand research makes JoAnne Stealing Share's cornerstone. Her no-nonsense approach and focus on detail has positioned her as a top global researcher.
She thinks she is nicer than Corbin but we all know differently. We are all afraid of her.
You can email Joanne at Joanne.Cross@resultantresearch.com.
Randall Jones, Executive Creative Director
An award winning graphic designer, art director, writer, and creative director,
Ran has impeccable taste. Not only is he smart, He is one of those rare talents that started his career thinking visually and fused that to thinking strategically.
It is rare to find a creative director that is also a branding consultant. But at Stealing Share, branding is what we are all about. Can't work here if you don't get it.
"Make them feel they are missing out without you."
"That's the trap for brands," says Ran. "They want a pretty picture or something funny.They think brand is corporate identity or an ad campaign. Foolishly believing it's just about capturing the eye or the ear. But, it's about rising above the noise. Having something that's meaningful and has great power with target audiences."
When something is great, we hear Ran say "it's desperate." We live for those moments.
Ran has worked in New York, Philadelphia and Princeton. And, held senior and executive creative positions at some of the most prominent branding, advertising agencies and world class graphic design firms. Stealing Share has had him since the beginning. Ran and Tom worked together when they were both in Philadelphia. Their collaboration now goes back almost 30 years.

He is a member of the Stealing Share's team of brand consultants. And, runs all of our creatives. He has the final word on ALL creative executions.
Randall Jones is the best in the world because he turns strategies into brilliant creative.
Don't let his dignified, soft spoken and quiet demeanor fool you. Ran Jones is fierce.

Just managed to watch a recording of Sunday nights X-Factor auditions.
A 45 year old Backing Singer, rather shy and humble, comes on stage and says that he feels its time for him to step into the limelight.
And then blew the roof off the venue.
It so reminded me of that similar moment back in 2007.
Rickey Minor made the same comparison to Melinda. He will definitely be one to watch. I don't watch X-factor so keep us posted Alan!
There's something compelling about a talent who musters up enough courage to step up and still not realize how good he is. You just want to go along on the journey.
Sounds like some of us watch this from the states. Is that true? When is it on and what channel? I agree Alan, sounds so similar to the great (albeit humble) one.
Last night they had the first round at bootcamp - where they had to form groups and perform in a group.
They showed Simon whispering to the other judges that he appeared to be a bit of a Diva, but he got through to the next round despite appearing to forget the words at one point.
And just to confirm, he still had a chair at the end of the evening.
He's got a great personality!
How come there are four judges but it was Simon's decision?
Each category has 6 chairs, and the judge who has that category has to decided based on this performance whether the artist gets a chair. Once the 6 chairs are full, then they can only give a chair by swapping someone out. To get each of the 4 categories to allocate their 6 chairs took two programs. All judges were present, but could only give advice when it wasn't their category.
I have to say, I found all this judges angst a bit fake. It seemed to me from the Simon's comments during Anton's performance (and before) it was like he was easily going to select him. But then he just took ages saying so - maybe just to make better TV, who knows.
Incidentally, they had a new twist to Judges Houses round last night. In previous years, the decision of which 3 from the 6 would make it through to the live shows was taken at the house immediately after all the performances and then told to the contestants during the next day. This year, they didn't decide then but we had a segment back in front of the live audience and the judge announced his decision then. He picked two, then listened to advice from the other judges (and the live audience opinion) on the third before picking them.
Anton got through as the second pick in Simon's category.
I really liked the beginning of Superstar. He knows how to bring out the emotion of the song.
His performances during the live shows has not been as good as it appears he was earlier. They had the technical capability, but somehow his personality didn't come out as much.
Anyway, the show has been brutal, with two going home each week (I presume that the ratings have dropped and therefore X Factor gets less airtime) and this last week they sent one (with the lowest votes) home on the Saturday show and there was a sing off on Sunday results show for 6th place which Anton lost - but with clear age bias from the judges.
The best ones never win but hopefully he will have a shot at a solo career.


I LEFT Canberra just after 7 am in the freezing cold; a bit of fog about and plenty of road kill on the verges. Balaclava, thermals, heated grips on (don't knock it till you try it) and more layers than a fat bloke should need. I was on my way down to Batemans Bay to meet up with the Veterans MC, Federal Chapter, to attend the Vietnam Veterans Day service on the 50th Anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan. The Eurobodalla branch of the Vietnam Veterans, Peacekeepers and Peacemakers Association of Australia were hosting the service and the Veterans MC make the trip down the Clyde and meet up with the South Coast chapter.
Most of the blokes were a bit smarter than me and went down the afternoon before spending the night having a few ales and catching up with their brothers.
I pulled into Zorbas Hotel at about 9:15 and the blokes were already gathering in the carpark getting ready for the short ride down Beach Road to the Memorial. We headed off around 10 am in a tight group of around 30 bikes much to the delight of most of the locals. Shortly after arriving at the Memorial Park about 20 members of the South Coast Chapter arrived to join us.
I have never attended this service before and was impressed with the turn up. There were many Veterans on hand with the organisers having us form up in three ranks, very loosely these days.
The local cadets from 222 Cadet Group formed the Colour Guard, some Navy personnel formed the catafalque party, the Moruya and District Band provided the sounds.
There was a speech by retired Brigadier John Sheldrick outlining the story of Phil 'Doc' Dobson, the D Coy 6 RAR medic, one of the heroes of Long Tan and Mentioned in Dispatches. Unfortunately, Doc passed away a few weeks before the 50th anniversary.
There was also a song and speech from members of the Sydney Vietnamese community who attend this annual event in appreciation and as allies from the War.
With the formalities out of the way, we headed back to the motel to drop off the bikes and walk across to the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club for a lunch and function provided by the Vietnam Veterans, Peacekeepers and Peacemakers Association in the auditorium. A great feed, plenty of beers, some raffles, and a few more speeches made a good afternoon which carried on to a great night.
The local line-dancing club were practising and appreciated the efforts of the blokes who scored them on their moves Olympic style, although we did decline the opportunity to join them. Most of us from Canberra and the South Coast spent the night to catch with old mates and make new ones.
I was a bit dusty as we packed up on Friday morning, even the bacon and egg roll and a huge coffee didn't make much difference, although the view from the hotel was great. Being in landlocked Canberra I realise on days like this how much I miss living near the ocean.
It was a beautiful day for a ride as we headed up the Clyde stopping in Braidwood to say our goodbyes as we all peel off to go our separate ways on the way back into the city.
The significance of Vietnam Veterans Day cannot be oversold. The way these Veterans were treated on their return from the war was disgraceful. The attitude change between then and now is very stark and we rightly commemorate the sacrifice that all who serve and their families make. There is a patch that many members of the Veterans MC wear that reflects the attitude change: Never again will one generation of Veterans abandon another.
Ride safe and FREE. Mork.

-Immediate solution for expression marks and wrinkles.
-Firms and lifts skin with each application.
-Draws out impurities that leaves skin dull and tired.
Kaolin: Fine and powdery in texture and pale in color, kaolin is an extraordinary ingredient that can freshen skin. When used as a cleaning agent, it draws out dead skin cells, excess sebum, and impurities that cause dull and tired look you just can't shake.
Watercress extract: Rich in Vitamin A & Vitamin C, watercress serves multiple functions in this lifting mask. Watercress can alleviate any inflammation, redness, or imperfections that reside on skin's surface while it sinks deep into skin to remove any sneaky impurities that can cause aging. Finally, it also works to lift and firm skin that's starting to lose its luster.
Oat Extract: While the mask draws out impurities and excess sebum, oat extract hydrates and puts in nourishing properties to maintain skin's natural balance.
Use the Advanced BOTO Mask once or twice a week on clean skin. Slowly mix the clay and botanical extracts in the mask with the help of the spatula provided. Onto clean, WET skin apply a generous layer in an upwards motion. Then, you'll take a few drops of the serum and rub it into the mask. As you apply the serum and mask, you'll experience a growing heat. This warming sensation is perfectly natural and works to penetrate deep into skin. Leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing it away with warm water.
As with all masks, avoid getting this in your eyes or around your eye area.


In this paper, we propose a trust-based message propagation and evaluation framework to support the effective evaluation of information sent by peers and the immediate control of false information in a VANET. More specifically, our trust-based message propagation collects peers' trust opinions about a message sent by a peer (message sender) during the propagation of the message. We improve on an existing cluster-based data routing mechanism by employing a secure and efficient identity-based aggregation scheme for the aggregation and propagation of the sender's message and the trust opinions. These trust opinions weighted by the trustworthiness of the peers modeled using a combination of role-based and experience-based trust metrics are used by cluster leaders to compute a ma jority opinion about the sender's message, in order to proactively detect false information. Malicious messages are dropped and controlled to a local minimum without further affecting other peers. Our trust-based message evaluation allows each peer to evaluate the trustworthiness of the message by also taking into account other peers' trust opinions about the message and the peer-to-peer trust of these peers. The result of the evaluation derives an effective action decision for the peer. We evaluate our framework in simulations of real life traffic scenarios by employing real maps with vehicle entities following traffic rules and road limits. Some entities involved in the simulations are possibly malicious and may send false information to mislead others or spread spam messages to jam the network. Experimental results demonstrate that our framework significantly improves network scalability by reducing the utilization of wireless bandwidth caused by a large number of malicious messages. Our system is also demonstrated to be effective in mitigating against malicious messages and protecting peers from being affected. Thus, our framework is particularly valuable in the deployment of VANETs by achieving a high level of scalability and effectiveness.

Broncos' Von Miller likely out for the season
No Comments on Broncos' Von Miller likely out for the season
Broncos linebacker Von Miller is reportedly done for the season after sustaining a "freak injury" to his ankle near the end of the team's practice on Tuesday.
It is devastating news for both Miller and the Broncos. Miller had undertaken a rigorous offseason training program after he registered only eight sacks last season. The hope was that Miller along with Bradley Chubb, who's coming off ACL surgery, could anchor the Denver defense and help get the team back into the playoffs this season.
"Last year, I didn't play to my standards. I didn't play to the Sack Master's standards. There was more for me to give. My coaches felt like there was more for me to give. Most of all, I feel like I can give more and I can be more. I don't feel like I'm finished yet. I wanted to come back here, and I wanted to play the best that I possibly could. I wanted to put everything into the offseason; I wanted to pour everything into myself and go out there and play the best that I possibly could and see what happens."
Miller said to the media on Aug. 4.
Has Von played his last game for Denver?
It's hard to believe, but it is possible that Denver's all-time sacks leader (106) might have played his last game with the Broncos if his season is indeed over.
Next season is the final year on Miller's current contract and he'll carry a salary cap hit of $22.125 million, the highest on the team. If Denver were to cut him before June 1 it would create $13.875 million in cap space.
In a perfect world the two sides would work out an extension that keeps Miller in a Broncos uniform for the rest of his career while lessening the cap hit for an aging player coming off a season-ending injury.
What does Denver do now?
With Chubb not fully recovered from his ACL injury last season, the Broncos defense is suddenly in major need of help in the pass rushing front.
With that in mind The Denver Post's Ryan O'Halloran looked at a few notable free agents they could pursue.
There definitely are some big names out there like, but they're not spring chickens: Clay Matthews (34 years old), Terrell Suggs (37), Cameron Wake (38) and Ziggy Ansah.
TheAthletic.com and The DNVR.com both looked at what Miller's injury means to the Broncos with the season opener against Tennessee less than a week away.
In other news The Post's O'Halloran wrote about why going with a two-tight end set to start the season might be the best approach early in the season for Denver.
O'Halloran also wrote about why there could be major changes along the defensive side of the ball next season if 2020 isn't a major success. Simply put, as O'Halloran said, nine of Denver's expected starters on defense have expiring contracts or 2021 cap numbers that might not be in line with their production levels.
Early in the day on Tuesday it was announced that for Denver's second home game at Empower Field, Week 3 vs. Tom Brady and Tampa Bay, the team will be able to have 5,700 people in the stands. A lottery will be used to determine the fan who can attend.

Latest posts from Denver-sports.com
In an ending that was eerily reminiscent of so many losses last season, the Broncos watched the Titans drive 83 yards on 12 plays, capped off by Stephen Gostkowski's 25-yard field goal, as Tennessee rallied to beat Denver 16-14 in the season opener on Monday Night Football at Empower Field. When it was over, it […]

No comments about Hercules, everything is fine. M-O would better be a support character than control, as his cleaning abilities may heal allies or give them other bonuses. Winnie…I don't understand why everybody wants him in a fighting game, he prefers running away when he sees some scary stuff. Yet if to think of a set, he would better be a controller like Finnick, slowing enemies down with sticky honey and stunning them with bees(They can attack the enemy after some regulars like chains of Barbossa).
@FroBlueFlame, Is this the M-O you're talking about? If so, I agree that he would make a good edition.
MO is a guy? Says who??
M-0 is my favorite character in Wall-E I'd like to see him in game as a support or damage hero where his skills revolve around him cleaning.
Him!!! since when is MO a Him!!!
Dats ur opinion my dude.
And dats Y it's good we r all different.
Which is the other? MO or Pooh?
Hercules is in the game,so it's down to pooh and M-O.
Hrm…but MO seems more compatible in a fighting game…not to mention other Wall-e characters are already in game.

Keeping Your Word
by Charles R. SwindollScriptures: 1 Chronicles 17:16-27; 2 Chronicles 6:12-15; Psalm 145:13
March 11, 1942, was a dark, desperate day at Corregidor. The Pacific theater of war was threatening and bleak. One island after another had been buffeted into submission. The enemy was now marching into the Philippines.
March 11, 1942, was a dark, desperate day at Corregidor. The Pacific theater of war was threatening and bleak. One island after another had been buffeted into submission. The enemy was now marching into the Philippines as confident and methodical as the star band in the Rose Bowl parade. Surrender was inevitable. The brilliant and bold soldier, Douglas MacArthur, had only three words for his comrades as he stepped into the escape boat destined for Australia:
Upon arriving nine days later in the port of Adelaide, the sixty-two-year-old military statesman closed his remarks with the sentence:
I CAME THROUGH AND I SHALL RETURN.
A little over 2 1/2 years later—October 20, 1944, to be exact—he stood once again on Philippine soil after landing safely at Leyte Island. This is what he said:
This is the voice of freedom, General MacArthur speaking. People of the Philippines: I HAVE RETURNED!
MacArthur kept his word. His word was as good as his bond. Regardless of the odds against him, including the pressures and power of enemy strategy, he was bound and determined to make his promise good.
This rare breed of man is almost extinct. Whether an executive or an apprentice, a student or a teacher, a blue or white collar worker, a Christian or a pagan—rare indeed are those who keep their word. The prevalence of the problem has caused the coining of a term painfully familiar to us in our era: credibility gap. To say that something is "credible" is to say it is "capable of being believed, trustworthy." To refer to a "gap" in such suggests a "breach or a reason for doubt."
Jurors often have reason to doubt the testimony of a witness on the stand. Parents, likewise, have reason at times to doubt their children's word (and vice versa). Citizens frequently doubt the promises of politicians, and the credibility of an employee's word is questioned by the employer. Creditors can no longer believe a debtor's verbal promise to pay, and many a mate has ample reason to doubt the word of his or her partner. This is a terrible dilemma! Precious few do what they say they will do without a reminder, a warning, or a threat. Unfortunately, this is true even among Christians.
Listen to what the Scriptures have to say about keeping your word:
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor. (Ephesians 4:25 NIV)
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus. (Colossians 3:17 NIV)
O LORD, who may abide in Your tent?
Who may dwell on Your holy hill?
He who walks with integrity . . .
And speaks truth in his heart. (Psalm 15:1–2)
It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it. (Ecclesiastes 5:5 NIV)
When a man . . . takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said. (Numbers 30:2 NIV)
Question: Judging yourself on this matter of keeping your word, are you bridging or widening the credibility gap? Are you encouraging or discouraging others? Let me help you answer that by using four familiar situations.
1. When you reply, "Yes, I'll pray for you"—do you?
2. When you tell someone they can depend on you to help them out—can they?
3. When you say you'll be there at such-and-such a time—are you?
4. When you obligate yourself to pay a debt on time—do you?
Granted, no one's perfect. But if you fail, do you own up to it? Do you quickly admit your failure to the person you promised and refuse to rationalize around it? If you do, you are really rare . . . but a person of genuine integrity. And one who is an encouragement and can encourage others.
Do you know something? I know another One who promised He would return. He, too, will keep His word. In fact, He's never broken one promise. There's no credibility gap with Him.
He will return!

The Dilemma of Decline: Part 7 - The Evangelism Task Force (2018)
By Dr. Chuck Kelley
In 2017, SBC President Steve Gaines appointed an Evangelism Task Force, chaired by Paige Patterson, to investigate how Southern Baptists could be more effective in personal soul-winning and evangelistic preaching. Unlike earlier initiatives which received significant Convention attention, this Task Force made its final report to a distracted SBC President and largely uninterested messengers during the SBC meeting in Dallas in 2018. Evangelism and concerns about decline were completely overshadowed by other issues. The report was merely read into the record and formally approved by the Convention with little comment. However, while it is much too early to assess its impact, initial indications are that the recommendations of this Task Force may eventually make a measurable difference in SBC baptism numbers.
The Evangelism Task Force (2018)
The Evangelism Task Force can be distinguished from others in several ways. Clearly and publicly, the Task Force was instructed by the Convention to focus on direct evangelism. Clearly and publicly, members were told to suggest how churches could act effectively on the evangelism mandate. More importantly, the Task Force created an expectation for the North American Mission Board to be the steady voice calling for and supporting evangelism in SBC churches. Their key assumptions were: If lost people are to come to Christ in SBC churches, Southern Baptist pastors and people must engage in evangelistic action. NAMB is assigned to encourage and support Southern Baptists in appropriate evangelistic action.
The Evangelism Task Force recommended that Southern Baptists prioritize direct evangelism at every level of Convention life, using all means and every opportunity to share Christ with those who are lost. Their suggestions included the following: All unbelievers should have an opportunity to hear the Gospel and be urged to respond in repentance and faith. Seeking to "win" or "persuade" or "implore" unbelievers to repent and believe is appropriate evangelistic activity. Roles in evangelism exist for pastors, for all believers, and for the evangelists God gifted and called to this ministry focus. The use of a "sinner's prayer" to help an unbeliever under conviction know how to respond to the Gospel is appropriate. The use of an invitation at the conclusion of a sermon is appropriate. Baptisms should be highlighted and celebrated.
The report did not focus on the content of the Gospel or the role of God in the salvation process. Those matters were addressed briefly and clearly in language widely accepted among Southern Baptists (2018 SBC Annual, p. 93). Rather, this Task Force sought to identify what Scripture teaches believers to do so that the lost can hear the Gospel and be born again. The group asked, what does obedience to the Great Commission look like? In his 2017 Convention sermon, SBC President Steve Gaines explained that he expected this focus from the Task Force.
The next year I'm going to emphasize soul-winning. I'm going to recommend appointing an evangelism, soul-winning task force to study ways we as Southern Baptists can be more effective in personal evangelism and also in evangelistic preaching. If we will share the gospel of Jesus Christ with lost people in the power of the Holy Spirit, there will be salvation. (2017 SBC Annual, p. 110-11)
The report sought to apply the Great Commission to how Southern Baptists should live and how their churches should function in order for those without Christ to be saved. Sharing the Gospel with sinners is a more urgent task than discussing the Gospel with saints.
The Evangelism Task Force approached evangelism as a multifaceted task requiring a variety of methods reflecting the diversity of gifts, challenges, and opportunities found among Southern Baptists and their churches. Particular attention was given to the importance of training, especially for evangelism outside of church facilities. Pastors were also encouraged to include an evangelistic component in all services that incorporated the preaching of God's Word. These were not new ideas, but they were new points of emphasis after years of inattention.
Perhaps the most important recommendation of this Task Force was the public encouragement for the North American Mission Board to embrace anew its historic assignment from the Convention (approved in 1906 SBC meeting) to assist SBC churches in evangelism, emphasizing the continual promotion of the evangelistic task. The 2010 SBC Annual (p. 208) notes there were 516 NAMB personnel, including a Vice President, assigned to Evangelization. After GCR, the evangelism staff was reduced dramatically, eliminating positions in African-American evangelism, women's evangelism, collegiate evangelism, spiritual awakening, and many others. The national evangelism network, built in partnership with the state conventions, began to be dismantled. However, the Evangelism Task Force determined evangelism was unlikely to flourish without staff focused on the development and promotion of strategies and resources to help churches reach the lost in their communities. They recommended NAMB employ senior leadership dedicated to evangelism. The hiring of beloved SBC pastor Johnny Hunt as a Senior Vice President for Evangelism and Jim Law as his associate reflects that recommendation. NAMB is returning to addressing the importance of evangelism in local church life consistently, with podcasts and some resources for churches. In addition, a new staff position for NextGen evangelism (students) was recently created. At the 2019 SBC meeting, evangelism was still not identified as a NAMB strategic priority, as were Send Network (church planting) and Send Relief (compassion ministry), but in 2020, NAMB began to list evangelism (Send Hope) as a third strategic priority on its website. These are encouraging steps emerging from the recommendations of the Task Force. Time will tell if these and other actions to come will reverse SBC decline and help churches learn to grow again.
Once again, the gavel fell to close the 2018 Convention, ending one presidency and starting another. The SBC was on to other things. Where are we now in making progress in the battle against decline? My next blog will examine the present state of the SBC.
Pastor's Take Away: There is always a current nudging Christians away from evangelism, which makes intentionality in calling people to Christ absolutely essential. Who drives the evangelism ministry of your church, and how visible is it on the radar of the congregation?

Hoboken residents on SandyGate voice unanimous support for Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer
Interviews with Hoboken residents downtown outside City Hall today showed unanimous support for Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer in the widening federal investigation into the SandyGate scandal.
One resident said "I think Dawn is doing a real good job... Dawn is doing a nice job trying to clean it (corruption) up," speaking of the mayor's efforts in recent years. "We have to clean up the city and the State... I think she's doing a great job," he concluded.
Another resident said, "I see no reason why Dawn Zimmer would lie... I think before Bridgegate she may have had no incentive to come forward because he, Christie was untouchable... I think Dawn has done an amazing job for the City."
The longest detailed comment from one resident laid out his dissatisfaction with how Hoboken has been treated on Sandy aid. "..it's a tragedy.. I don't believe in bullies... I think this guy (Governor Christie) might be bullying her. It's about the people... You don't do politics all the time... Give them (Hoboken residents) the money.... You have to think about what the people went through.
He concluded referring to Governor Christie, "He looks like Tony Soprano to me."

The big national guns come out taking aim at the "lady mayor."
A CNN interview with former Republican National Chairman and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour signaled the latest escalation in an all out death match between Governor Chris Christie and Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer over Sandy aid.
The mayor continues to point to additional details in documents to the State supporting her allegations the aid was held over her head in lieu of approving a massive development potentially valued at a billion dollars in Hoboken for the Rockefeller Group.
The media blitz begun Saturday after the three day holiday weekend is exploding nationally.
In a TV interview addressing Mayor Zimmer as "the lady mayor," Barbour laid out some repeated talking points the mayor has received "$70 million" and "has more coming" and was asking for $127 million out of pot of $300 million.
The former Governor also took a shot at the media saying it was jumping on anything to undermine Gov. Chris Christie's emerging status as a presidential candidate in 2016.
These claims are not accurate and have been dispelled previously as flood insurance compensated the bulk of the $70 million referenced and was paid for in policies taken out by local Hoboken businesses and individuals.
Barbour concluded, "But for her to think that this is going to shake that money loose, that was a surprising thing..."
The video comes courtesy of the Governor Chris Christie YouTube channel.
Talking Ed Note: Barbour is polished and prepared and the talking points are laying on the heat talking about favorable tweets after Hurricane Sandy among a series of repeated statements concerning insurance payments made to Hoboken in both the public and private sector.
If it's muddying up your perspective, well expect more of the same.
This demonstrates some very well prepared talking points well polished from a National Republican face. It dwarfs the poor performance yesterday of a wooden Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno who looked to be reading notes several times near the floor. Guadagno concluded her performance saying she stands behind supporting economic development for New Jersey.
Hoboken residents may find that news endearing.
Hoboken are you ready for the storm? The Mile Square City is getting an inside look at what it's like to be the center of a national media hurricane.
And it's only just begun.
The transcript also from the Gov. Christie YouTube channel follows:
1/20/2014. (Transcript Below)
Cuomo: The latest suggestion by a local mayor, you know what it is, does it give you more concern about the atmosphere and culture in Chris Christie's government?
Barbour: No, I'll tell you what it gives me concern about, that the news media is willing to leap at any farfetched story with the basis in fact is unbelievable. This is a lady mayor who asked for 127 million dollars of hazard mitigation money from the governor to give that to her from the federal money. When the state was only receiving in its entirety 300 million dollars. It is absurd to think that one town would get well more than a third of the total amount of money. This town that was getting punished got over 70 million dollars in hurricane relief. She's got other projects pending, but she's already received more than 70 million dollars. More than 4 million dollars of hazard mitigation block grant money and that is the particular program that she was asking money for. So, hazard mitigation block grant money, which unlike what your reporter said, is not to repair damage from much needed damage, it is to prepare for the future.
(transcript continues at the jump)
Mayor Zimmer presses her case as Justice Department comes to Hoboken
The media and pr war ramped up yesterday with the weekend ending but even with MLK Day, the all out assault of words continues.
Mayor Dawn Zimmer appeared last night on Anderson Cooper's CNN show and late last night an announcement from the mayor made clear the Justice Department had been to Hoboken on the matter of her allegations about trading Sandy aid for approval to the Rockefeller Group's uptown development proposal.
On the Justice Department visit, the mayor is quoted saying: "They were talking to people in Hoboken today," she said. "They were definitely talking to people today."
The acknowledgement may mean that the Justice Department spoke to people in Hoboken City Hall and some of the mayor's staff.
The Feds are adding to the pressure cooker situation neither confirming nor denying any steps they've taken since a meeting on Sunday was held, according to the mayor.
In the interview with Anderson Cooper, Mayor Zimmer referenced documents she communicated to the State supporting her chronology of events.
In addition, she also states she was pressured directly by another member of the Christie Administration to agree to development in Hoboken. She identifies that person to be the NJ head of Sandy Aid, Marc Ferzan.
The stakes and battle lines are ramping up as is the traffic here on MSV. Partisanship has taken hold and all the weight of the Big Man with the dark Governor fleece jacket is coming to bear. The weight is falling squarely on Hoboken City Hall.
Is Governor Christie the new poster child but leveraging Sandy aid for a billion dollar development?
According to Mayor Zimmer, that's the inescapable conclusion.
Talking Ed Note: In the battle of wills, Governor Christie knows a little about Hoboken's Iron Lady. Will she bend to his will and crumble or continue to stand for Hoboken as she has against everything the Old Guard could throw at her?
The Governor must know unless he scores an early KO, he isn't going to take out Mayor Zimmer.
Ironically, since the mayor didn't have a Carmelo style wire to set up the Christie Administration, the process of a public pr war with the Feds already engaged works in the mayor's favor.
In some minds, the federal engagement should not occur so quickly but in doing so the mayor has initial cover from the efforts to conclude her testimony of quid pro quo immaterial.
Hoboken is the scene of enormous media attention, the largest since 2009 when Peter Cammarano became the poster child for the biggest corruption sting in NJ history. It's not showing any sign of letting up.
In fact since the three day weekend, from this vantage point it's obvious that it's increasing.
The Political Insider column has lost its Jersey City centric focus for the moment and a column almost joyfully adds some sarcastic barbs while including two non-consequential quotes from the Zimmer foe corner. Nothing to dignify beyond that.
MSV is working on the bigger story after the initial earthquake hit Hoboken and the nation Saturday.

Nowadays there is huge demand for TEFL and TESOL certified teachers around the world owing to vast usage of English as a second language. The TEFL qualification can get you an English teaching job in non-native English-speaking countries like China, Japan, Mexico and United Arab Emirates. The TEFL certification is the easiest way to start a new life overseas; TEFL is also a great option for travelers looking forward to earning money on their trips abroad. The TEFL certification is offered across the Australia in Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney. However if you aim to teach English to immigrant students in Australia, USA or New Zealand then you may be required to possess a TESOL certification. TESOL certification is provided by Australia and USA. Those who have a TESOL certificate enjoy an edge above the TEFL certified teacher as the former imparts a better technical knowledge.
Now after going through the reasons as to why you need to acquire the certifications a major question that comes to the mind is where to does one get the TEFL or TESOL certifications? As already mentioned the certifications are offered by Australia and USA but one can also get the certifications online. Many websites offer resources to find a comprehensive course to train students for teaching English in non-native English-speaking countries. The online courses can be completed in one to six months depending upon the student and the sites also boast placing its students abroad. Acquiring an online TEFL or TESOL Certification will be an added value to a person's profile as compared to the non-certified teacher courses, owing to the reason that certification is becoming the standard requirement when applying for an esl job. There are a few websites that offer online certification for $295.00 that have excellent material quality consisting of 140+ pages, and constant touch with its certified students working abroad and good classroom modular programs.
There is a general misconception among the students that TESOL and TEFL certification courses are really tough to master. These two certifications can be easily achieved by a person who is willing to speak English and can be confident in delivering their knowledge in front of thirty eager to learn individuals. As a matter of fact, TEFL requires no prerequisite and the course itself starts from a basic knowledge of grammar, and the curriculum is designed so that by the end of the course the student is comfortable in English speaking and writing. The certifications of TESOL and TEFL are signed by the IATQUO (International Association of TESOL Qualifying Organizations) making it accountable worldwide.
The IATQUO certifies that the course undertaken meets the basic British criteria of 100+ hours of classroom time and 6+ hours of practical teaching practice. So if you want to teach English as a foreign language then becoming certified in TEFL and/or TESOL is a must.

PLAYING THE PART: David Heron, Ano Okera among castmates for Baltimore's upcoming Marley musical
SHOW STOPPERS: Okera (left) and Heron both landed key roles in the production.
When Marley, the highly anticipated new bio-musical about Jamaica's greatest reggae superstar debuts at the CenterStage Theatre in Baltimore, Maryland early next month, the show will be brought to rousing life by a wildly diverse and accomplished troupe of actors, among them a handful of young and talented Jamaican thespians, who are presently living and working in the States.
David Heron, the renowned actor-playwright (Against His Will, Ecstasy) will appear as Tony Welsh; fast-rising talent Shayne Powell steps into the role of Malakai, and the articulate Ano Okera will play Don Letts while lending his expertise to the production team as the show's dialect coach. Meanwhile, the radiant Allison McLean, who has appeared in local productions like Basil Dawkins' Where is My Father? scored a spot as a member of the ensemble chorus.
And in response to the question on everyone's lips: who has the enviable task of portraying Bob in the show, complete with physical transformation and guitar riffs? That honour falls to actor-singer Mitchell Brunings, who became an international singing sensation in 2013, when he gave a pitch-perfect rendition of "Redemption Song" on Holland's version of The Voice.
Brunings, based in the States, is joined in the cast's top tier by other principals such as Seycon Sengbloh as Rita Marley; Susan Kelechi Watson as Marcia Griffiths; Crystal Joy as Judy Mowatt; Michaela Walters as Cindy Breakspeare, with John Patrick Hayden appearing as Island Records honcho Chris Blackwell and Damiann Thompson as Bunny Wailer.
When writer-director and CenterStage Artistic Director Kwame Kwei-Armah set out to write the script he knew he didn't want to produce a clichéd retelling of Bob's timeless story. Instead, he opted to settle on a specific period. As such, his Marley chronicles events surrounding the two years the Gong spent in self-imposed exile after surviving an assassination attempt in 1976, before going on to transform himself into one of the 20th century's most important and recognizable pop-culture figures.
Explaining his process, Kwei-Armah told an interviewer, "I felt that rather than do a biographical musical about Bob Marley I would find the moment that personified who Bob was, and the run-up to the assassination attempt and the exile in London showed who he was and what he believed in."
Artistically, the show weaves together dialogue with Bob's original music, particularly anthems from his Rastaman Vibrations and Exodus era. With choreography by Germaul Barnes, music and lyrics from Bob's catalogue, and book and direction by Kwei-Armah, Marley opens at the Centre Stage in Baltimore on May 6 and runs through June 14.
