Catawba County: Darren Eugene Matthews Sentenced For Child Pornography
Catawba County Man, Darren Eugene Matthews Is Sentenced For Child Pornography
CHARLOTTE, N.C (STL.News) U.S. District Judge Kenneth D. Bell sentenced Darren Eugene Matthews, 46, of Conover, N.C. to 78 months in prison yesterday on child pornography charges, announced Andrew Murray, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina. Matthews was also ordered to serve a lifetime of supervised release and to register as a sex offender upon completion of his prison term.
Sheriff Donald G. Brown II of the Catawba County Sheriff's Office joins U.S. Attorney Murray in making today's announcement.
According to court documents and information introduced at the sentencing hearing, in November 2019, a detective with the Catawba County Sheriff's Office received information that an individual, later identified as Matthews, was emailing child pornography over the internet. Court records show that some of the images depicted children, some as young as toddlers, being sexually abused. On November 22, 2019, Law enforcement executed a search warrant at Matthews' residence and seized numerous electronic devices. A forensic examination of the devices revealed that Matthews possessed more than 1,300 files of child pornography.
In August 2020, Matthews pleaded guilty to receipt of child pornography. He is currently in federal custody and will be transferred to the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons upon designation of a federal facility.
In making today's announcement U.S. Attorney Murray commended the investigative work of the Catawba County Sheriff's Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Alfredo De La Rosa of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Charlotte prosecuted the case.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse, launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys' offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

AP source: Vikings make Gary Kubiak offensive coordinator
Thu Jan 23 2:01pm ET
By DAVE CAMPBELL
AP Pro Football Writer
Players: Kirk Cousins, Stefon Diggs, Dalvin Cook
Gary Kubiak speaks to reporters Thursday, Feb. 21, 2019 in Eagan, Minn. Kubiak was expected to return to the sideline this season as Denver's offensive coordinator, but after that spot with the Broncos fell through he landed with the Minnesota Vikings NFL football team as an associate coach with the aim of helping the Vikings produce a stronger offense in 2019. (AP Photo/Dave Campbell)
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) The Minnesota Vikings have chosen Gary Kubiak as their offensive coordinator, filling the vacancy created by Kevin Stefanski's departure to become head coach of the Cleveland Browns.
The widely expected move was confirmed Thursday by a person with knowledge of the decision who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the club had not yet made the announcement. Kubiak was as an offensive adviser and assistant to head coach Mike Zimmer this season, as the Vikings reached the divisional round of the playoffs.
Kubiak's playbook, as directed by Stefanski in his first full season on the job, provided a clear boost for quarterback Kirk Cousins and the offense. The Vikings were eighth in the league with an average of 25.4 points a game, after ranking 19th in 2018.
''I like the scheme,'' Zimmer said last week. ''I like the continuity that we have offensively with the coaches, and I feel like if we add a couple more pieces and continue to work on the execution of staying with the same play calls, the same system, the same motions and formations and things like that, it'll definitely help the offensive players.''
Kubiak's arrival in 2019 gave Zimmer - who is 57-38-1 in the regular season and 2-3 in the playoffs in six years with the Vikings - a trusted veteran voice and a valuable offensive perspective to complement his defensive acumen. The 58-year-old Kubiak was an NFL head coach for 10 seasons, his time with both the Houston Texans and Denver Broncos shortened by health problems. He has also been an offensive coordinator for 12 years.
The Vikings a year ago hired his son, Klint Kubiak, as quarterbacks coach and two longtime colleagues - Rick Dennison (offensive line coach and running game coordinator) and Brian Pariani (tight ends coach).
Their zone blocking scheme was a good fit for a mobile offensive line in front of running back Dalvin Cook, who stayed healthy enough to make his first Pro Bowl. The emphasis on play-action and rollout passes and frequent use of two-tight end formations helped Cousins play to his strengths and produce a career-best season. Wide receiver Stefon Diggs was frustrated at times by a decreased number of throws that came his way. But he set career highs in yards per game (75.3) and yards per catch (17.9), the latter tied for fourth in the league.
After serving as Denver's backup quarterback behind Pro Football Hall of Fame member John Elway on three AFC title-winning teams, Kubiak broke into NFL coaching as quarterbacks coach for the Super Bowl champion San Francisco 49ers in the 1994-95 season. He was offensive coordinator for the Broncos for the next 11 years, winning two more Super Bowls along the way, before becoming head coach in Houston.
Kubiak suffered a mini-stroke during a game there in 2013, leading to his departure. He returned to the Broncos as head coach in 2015 and promptly won another Super Bowl. He was hospitalized again in 2016 because of a complex migraine condition that caused extreme fatigue and announced his retirement at the end of that season. He spent the next two years as a personnel adviser for the Broncos, primarily analyzing draft prospects.

Abrahaminte Santhathikal review
It's pretty clear early on in director Shaji Padoor's Abrahaminte Santhathikal that this one is a celebration of the hero. In all fairness, that has been done pretty delightfully here.
The story begins with a serial killer creating havoc, as a few are being brutally murdered during rainy nights. The cops find some numbers on the walls scribbled in blood and when the investigating officers fail to unveil the mystery behind it all, the Superintendent of Police seeks the help of his trusted lieutenant, the brilliant Derick Abraham IPS (Mammootty).
The hero comes in style, speaks only punch lines and mostly walk in slow motion. But more importantly, he succeeds in nabbing the culprit.
Soon after, the story takes an entirely different turn as it becomes an issue between Derick and his younger brother Philip (Anson Paul), who is now in jail.
The relevance of the initial murder mystery to the rest of the happenings is not entirely convincing.
In fact, there are quite a few loose ends and if you are the kind who thinks about logic or look for some valid explanations in a suspense drama, there would be many unanswered questions even when the end titles start rolling.
But writer Haneef Adeni, who incidentally directed the hit Mammootty flick The Great Father last year, and director Shaji Padoor packs this one without giving enough time to think about it all as the action goes on.
This one is a full-fledged Mammotty show and boy, he looks dazzling. There are emotional scenes that he has made really special and let's say, the hero performs his role with total dedication
Anson Paul is mostly fine, except perhaps when he has to be sentimental. Tarushi, who plays his romantic pair, looks beautiful, while Kaniha has nothing much to do. Yog Japee and Sidhique are wasted in inconsequential roles.
Abrahaminte Santhathikal has been made as the kind of film that should be enjoyed with a tub of popcorn, without pondering too much about logic. And for all those who love to see Mammootty in action, the superstar provides nothing less than a treat. Enjoy this ride!
No comments there.
Which is the best theatre to watch Abrahaminte Santhathikal?

An estimated 15-20 percent of the world's population is highly sensitive (HSP), and a lot of these people are also empaths (which means that in addition to being highly sensitive, they also tend to soak up the energy & emotions of others).
How can I tell if I'm an empath?
Are you highly influenced by the energy around you?
Do you absorb the feelings and emotions of others like a sponge?
Do people have the tendency to randomly open up and offload all their problems onto you?
Do you feel utterly drained and exhausted around certain people or in specific places?
Do you avoid reading or watching the news because of the emotional toll it can have on you?
Are you overwhelmed in crowded places and even smaller social gatherings?
These are just a few signs that may indicate you're an empath.

Man scores date with dream woman he locked eyes with at traffic lights after appeal
Hopeless romantic Martin Baker, 41, may have found love after 'Mrs Right' came forward, following his public appeal for the mystery blonde driver he locked eyes with while driving through Grimsby
A man's quest for romance has edged forward – after his public appeal for a mysterious blonde woman he locked eyes with at the traffic lights.
The driver came forward following "hopeless romantic" Martin Baker's sweet appeal went viral – and now the pair are set to meet.
Carer Martin from north Hull, spoke to Hull Live in his quest to meet the stranger he felt a connection with while stuck in traffic in Grimsby.
The 41-year-old said he hoped to reignite the "spark" he felt after exchanging looks with the blue BMW driver.
Now his dream has become a reality, after the woman sending an email to the Hull paper, describing the fateful moment she locked eyes with Martin in Peaks Parkway.
Calling herself "Mrs Right" in her email, the woman wrote: "Hi. I do drive a bright blue BMW and I am blonde. I did have a brief encounter with a guy at the traffic lights on Peaks Parkway.
"I was in the left-hand lane and he was in the lane next to me as the lights turned to green I looked across and smiled as we carried on along Peaks Parkway he then turned off to head into B&Q."
Following his public appeal yesterday, some critics branded the 41-year-old a "stalker", prompting him to hit back, as he blasted: "I ain't a creep".
Luckily his potential Mrs Right, dubbed the "girl next door" by Martin, appears unbothered by the public furore.
With her recollection of events corresponding to his, Martin believes it's her and now plans to get in touch with her to arrange their first date together.
While he usually opts for active dates like walking and climbing, Martin says he would opt to take the stranger from the traffic lights for a romantic meal, if circumstances allow for it.
Martin, who admits he is an "old-school romantic", said he would love to see her again and see if they share the initial spark he felt.
He said: "I would like to say to her 'let's let the lights go green for us and see what happens'."
His public appeal also prompted a number of other women get in touch with him asking for a date. Now Martin has promised to keep readers up to date with how things go.
In the past, he admits he hasn't been so bold in his approach to romance, adding: "I would never just walk up to a girl and ask her out.
"The only time I have ever done it was years ago, and she became my girlfriend. I am not very confident around women, it's hard to know if you're saying the right thing.
"In this instance, I just thought why not? Why not put myself out there? There's a beautiful woman smiling at me and I should take the chance.
"I'd hate to see this pass without trying to find her. I would regret it if I didn't take the chance. I would say she was around the early
thirties. Age is just a number to me though, it's all about the connection.
"I'm definitely all for romance. With my ex-girlfriend, I surprised her and filled a whole room with rose petals. I like doing stuff like that."

Q: Difference between "give them a cheer" and "cheer them up" Is it more common to say that way written on the left rather than those written on the right?  If so, please let me know why.

give him a hug       hug him
give him a smile     smile at him
give him a cheer     cheer him up

A: Give him a cheer and cheer him up mean different things. The first means 'give him a shout of encouragement'. The second means 'do something to make him feel happier'.
There's not the same difference with your other examples, but they would be used in different contexts.

A: The first two examples are equivalent.  The third may or may not, but this is because the word "cheer" as a noun has multiple meanings, which differ depending upon context

*

*"to hug" as a verb means "to give a hug"

*"to smile" as a verb means "to give a smile"

*"to cheer" may mean "to give a cheer" but it may also mean "to cheer up"

See the various meanings of "cheer" at Dictionary.com.

*

*a shout of encouragement, approval, congratulation, etc.: The cheers of the fans filled the stadium.

*a set or traditional form of shout used by spectators to encourage or show enthusiasm for an athletic team, contestant, etc., as rah! rah! rah!

*something that gives joy or gladness; encouragement; comfort: words of cheer.

*a state of feeling or spirits: Their good cheer overcame his depression.

*gladness, gaiety, or animation: full of cheer and good spirits.

Thus, to give a cheer might cheer someone up, but it might not.  If you give a cheer for your team, it might cheer your team up, but it will not cheer up your team's opponents!  If you shout the cheer "Hip, hip hooray!" to a depressed person it may not cheer him up at all.

A: The pairs are different in what the author means to convey, though in the examples the actions may be the same. Each of the two structures has its uses in appropriate contexts. For one, it is the controlling verb that gets the focus of the statement.
give him a hug
vs.
hug him

Washington Nationals' Andrew Stevenson gets a start...

Davey Martinez penciled Andrew Stevenson in as his leadoff hitter in Wednesday night's game against the Philadelphia Phillies, hoping the left-handed hitting outfielder, who's hit fastballs well (.342 AVG) in his career, could provide a spark against Philly righty Zack Wheeler (who's thrown 63.1% fastballs this season acc. to Fangraphs, 62.9% between his 4-seam and sinker according to Baseball Savant).
Martinez said he wanted to have somebody up top to get on base in front of his No. 2 hitter, Trea Turner, and No. 3 hitter, Juan Soto.
"[Stevenson] hits the fastball really well. This guy [Wheeler] is a 70% fastball thrower, throws his fastball early in the count a lot, so we wanted to get Stevie up there, and get him in the lineup today."
It was just the 11th start of the season for Stevenson, the 26-year-old, 2015 2nd Round pick, who's appeared in 28 games overall this season after earning a spot on the roster with his play late last season and again this spring.
In limited action over the last three seasons, Stevenson's put up a combined .306/.393/.496 line in 73 games and 140 PAs in the majors.
He talked this past December, in an MLB Network Radio interview, about his approach at the plate in the last few seasons, as he's played his way onto the big league roster.
"Trying to stay more to the middle of the field if not err to the left side and maybe more so just being as relaxed as possible," Stevenson said, in discussing the keys to his success.
"I think that's what's kind of helped me over the past few years.
"Your first few years you get up there and you want to do something every at bat so you're trying a little bit harder than probably you should be, and then as the years are going on, you kind of get a little bit older, start to relax a little bit more, and I think that's been the biggest thing, just being able to relax in the box and have a little fun with it."
His manager said on Wednesday that the run of success for Stevenson has also resulted in a more confident outfielder.
"He's definitely more confident," Martinez told reporters in his pregame Zoom call.
"When he gets a chance to play, he's playing with a sense of energy, which is always good, you want that — especially when you're a role player. You put these [guys] in, and like I said, he's the kind of guy that could jumpstart our day today. So, but he's been doing great. He works diligently, especially on his defense and his baserunning, which I talked a lot about with him — he'll have opportunities to pinch run as well. So, you'll see him working on his baserunning, working on his defense, all three outfield positions, and being aggressive. The biggest thing with him is he's a fastball hitter, and we always talk to him a lot, 'Hey, if you get a guy who's throwing fastballs, and you think you can hit it, swing at it, because you're more than likely going to hit it and hit it hard.' So want him to be ready for the fastball."
As a pinch hitter this season, Stevenson is 3 for 9 with a home run and two walks, and four Ks in 11 PAs, leaving him with a .382/.446/.828 career line in pinch hit appearances, with a total of three doubles, a triple, and two home runs in 89 career pinch hit appearances. He's also, with the work he's done, apparently improved as a baserunner too in his manager's eyes.
"He's definitely better. A little bit more aggressive. He's paying attention to a lot of different details," Martinez said, "so like I said, we get into a situation where we need someone to run the bases we know that he can do it."
Stevenson went 1 for 4 in the 5-2 loss to Philadelphia, bunting for a hit in the fifth, one out after starter Jon Lester singled his way on. Turner and Soto got the at bats with runners in scoring position Martinez was looking for that inning, but both struck out.

(Transportation-News.com, February 12, 2019 ) The report studies the Automotive Switches Market worldwide, especially in North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, India and Other Regions with production, size, growth, revenue, consumption, import and export in these regions. The intelligent report also anticipates that automotive switches market would grow at a constructive CAGR until 2028. In order to study the various trends and patterns prevailing in the concerned market, FactMR has included a new report titled "Automotive Switches Market Projections & Future Scenario Analyzed until 2028" to its wide online database including upcoming trends and growth factors. This research assessment offers a clear insight about the influential factors that are expected to transform the global market in the near future.
Traditional handbrakes are gradually being replaced by handbrake automotive switches or electronic parking brakes. Growing demand for comfort and convenience in the automobiles has led consumers to prefer electronic components over mechanical components. The advanced technology of handbrake automotive switches or electronic parking brakes allows the driver to operate the brake without distraction or involvement of physical efforts. Apart from delivering convenience, handbrake automotive switches save space in the hump area which can be used for other functions. In addition, advanced automated technology of the handbrake switch system is claimed to deliver better safety to car occupants, allows low-speed traction control during parking and prevents rolling back of the car at stop signals. Although initially limited to luxury vehicles, owing to the benefits of handbrake automotive switches majority of premium car manufacturers including Audi, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Mercedes and Porsche have replaced traditional handbrakes with handbrake automotive switches.
Economic growth and per capita income show significant influence on the outlook of automotive industry and growth of the auto parts market. The automotive switches market is prominently influenced by consumer buying power. Following this trend, tier 1 and tier 2 companies in the automotive switches market have a strong presence in the developed economies with their preference for OEMs for supply contracts. Whereas consumer preference for affordable prices has led to the consolidation of tier 3 companies of automotive switches in the developing countries. Particularly, countries with growing automobile manufacturing industry such as China and India have a stronger presence of tier 3 players of automotive switches. In addition, as per the International Energy Agency (IEA), China dominated sales of electric cars in 2017. Along with the stronghold on auto parts manufacturing, ongoing electrification of the automotive industry in developing economies presents lucrative opportunities for automotive switches market players during the assessment period.
With the growing investments in electric and connected cars, the automotive switches industry is likely to face challenges in terms of declining requirement of automotive switches. The driver assistance technologies are flourishing in the automotive market where technologies such as face recognition, voice command and automatic emergency braking are being highly sought after. In addition, the digital touchpad infotainment system is witnessing a growing demand among digital-savvy consumers. Increasing preference for digitalization and liking for touch-based displays have encouraged automotive technology manufacturers to dip their toes into digital-driven business models. For instance, HARMAN and Samsung have recently revealed the first automotive electronics collaboration by unveiling the digital cockpit platform with 5G and IOT integration. As the automotive aftermarket enters digitalization, upcoming digital cockpit display is likely to decline the profitability of the automotive switches market during the assessment period.
With its important role in driving the steady economic growth, the logistics industry is witnessing an impressive growth trend with favorable government regulations, increasing preference for sharing fleets, and growing emphasis on effective logistics management. Rapid urbanization, proliferation of e-commerce and improving economic scenario have contributed to the upward growth of the logistics industry. Increasing demand for quick delivery and effective inventory management has resulted into a significant rise in the number of vehicle fleet involved in transportation and warehousing. Growing utilization of electric vehicles in the logistics industry and a significant market share of automotive switches in the electric vehicles segment is set to present lucrative opportunities for stakeholders in the automotive switches market.
The market for two-wheelers is rising steadily while witnessing a stellar demand for motorcycles. According to the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC), demographic changes led by baby boomers and millennials are driving the sales of motorcycles in the United States. Increasing demand for motorcycles in developing countries such as India, Brazil and ASEAN is likely to influence the growth of the automotive switches market in the two-wheelers segment. In addition, higher demand for original parts and equipment in the two wheelers is expected to present lucrative opportunities for the automotive switches market players.

John C. Breckinridge (January 16, 1821 – May 17, 1875) was an American lawyer, politician, and soldier. He represented Kentucky in both houses of Congress and became the youngest-ever vice president of the United States. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1850 as a Democrat. He served as vice president from 1857 to 1861 alongside President James Buchanan. In 1859, he was elected senator for Kentucky. The Southern Democrats held two rival conventions; one nominated Breckinridge for president, who carried most of the Southern states. With the southern vote split, Abraham Lincoln won the election. Taking his Senate seat, Breckinridge urged compromise. When the Civil War broke out, Breckinridge fled to the Confederacy. He fought in numerous engagements as a general officer. In 1865 he was appointed secretary of war and urged the Confederate president, Jefferson Davis, to arrange a national surrender. After the war he lived abroad, returning in 1869. (Full article...)

The Danzig gulden was the currency of the Free City of Danzig (present-day Gdańsk, Poland) between 1923 and 1939. Inflation in Danzig during 1922 had spiralled out of control, and the city abandoned the German Papiermark in favour of the Danzig gulden the following year. The issuance of the new gulden was overseen by the Bank of Danzig, established in early 1924. The obverse of each note shows the city's coat of arms on the left and an important local architectural structure in the centre. This fifty-gulden banknote, issued in 1931, bears an illustration of an 18th-century arcaded house on the obverse.

Intrigued, I turned the envelope over and scrawled across the back was this note: destiny calls you through this mark. The postal service didn't deliver destinies, marked or not, just piles of bills. And no mark, even a well designed one, could contain a man's destiny. Perhaps this mark belonged to a secret society recruiting new members, which would explain the '1/10' below the image. Bullets chewed through my front door and shot the envelope and my theories to hell.
Destiny had marked me; she'd drawn a bead that would end me if I didn't get out of there.

Love the insertion of the logo! Clever 🙂 And I love the last line of this part. Just ends the story on such a rich note!
Thank you! The prompt was pretty demanding for this one so I had limited options but limitations can be fun!
I could totally see you writing something in the Da Vinci code genre. And you would do it so well.
Mel, you are such a good writer. I wonder if you really realize how good you are.
Thank you! You could really see that? I would love to write a thriller like Angels & Demons (I was not a hug fan of the DaVinci code)! I love scientific and historical puzzles. I have no idea how good of a writer I am. I haven't put my writing chops to the test yet. I haven't submitted any of my writing to any contents or publishers. But I am reading Keeper of Dreams, a book of Orson Scott Card's short fiction and in it, he recommends submitting short fiction to magazines and anthologies as a way to build an author platform (get recognized/exposure) and to hone writing skills. I am thinking about taking his advice.
I really think you should submit your short fiction to magazines. First, what do you have to lose? Second, you are really good. You do action well. You dialogue is always good. I think you are great at foreshadowing.
I can see you writing something like Angel & Demons. I love those historical puzzle novels. I know you can do it.
While I have your attention, you know I am having vision problems. So I am not reading as much as I did before. When are you posting Aerials? I don't want to miss those posts.
Thank you 🙂 Once I finish with Curse Breaker: Enchanted I will check out the short story market. Yes I know about your vision issues. I hope they clear up fast and I wish you a speedy recovery. Aerials' next piece will air in early September when the challenge posts finish. The challenge had some requirements about how long one can take in completing it. I'll let you know as soon I have written and scheduled it. So far I have only scheduled posts through the end of Aug.
As promised, here's the low-down on Aerials. The next episodes air Sept. 9, 16 & 24. I just wrote and scheduled them. I will edit them later today or this weekend.

This one wins my prize for being the happiest tune here on the Session. I listened to the MIDI and couldn't help but smile. Great arrangement.
How could anyone not love this ending? (3ggg g2 :| Sort of a musical exclamation point.
its about time i learn some happy tunes.
so this will make a nice contrast.
? ~ Go on then, show us what exactly you mean, notate it?!
for the first full measure.
This tune is very similar to the Banjo Breakdown (also posted here), which in turn is remiscent of the (London)Derry Hornpipe. There's another recording of this on the Topic CD "Hidden English" by or less the same band as that on "Rig a jig jig", with the addition of fiddler William Hocken, who uses the tunes as a ground and belts out the Swansea Hornpipe, Manchester Hornpipe, Navvy on the Line and who know's what else over the top. A classic recording (from the 1940's) of old boys giving their all after closing time. Essential listening.
Sorry - that should read "more or less (the same band)" and "uses the tune (i.e. just the one) (as a ground)".

Activision Blizzard CEO is still being paid too much, investment group says
An investment group is calling on shareholders to vote against a revision to Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick's salary, as it claims that his contract extension is "too short to significantly impact his total pay for an extended time".
Earlier this year, Kotick agreed to cut his salary and target annual bonus by 50% in a new employment agreement that'll keep him at the company until March 31, 2023, at the least. However, the agreement means he could still earn an annual bonus to the tune of 200% of his reduced base salary in 2021 and 2022. Now, though, the new deal has been questioned by the CtW Investment Group, which "works with pension funds sponsored by unions affiliated with the Strategic Organizing Center, a coalition of unions representing more than four million workers, to enhance long-term shareholder value through active ownership". Its executive director Dieter Waizenegger has called on shareholders to vote against the 'say-on-pay' proposal at a meeting later this month.
Waizenegger says that while the terms of the extension represent a pay cut, the extension is too short to "significantly impact his total pay for an extended time". He further explains that shareholders should reject it as the compensation committee has not addressed "long-standing shareholder concerns" surrounding executive pay practises by extending the contract for less than two years. He also says they should expect to see a longer-term reform of Kotick's compensation due to the repeated opposition his pay has received over a period of more than just one year.
Another point he raises is that Kotick's 2021 equity award will accelerate "at maximum payout level, leaving most of the compensation reductions to apply to only one full year, 2022, and as such may only cover the equity award for next year".
The vote Waizenegger mentions will take place at an annual meeting on June 14, 2021.

You will want determination at this time! A lot of people with you will notify you you will need motivation to be able to keep heading. At the time you remove your inspiration, it usually is tricky so you might follow the method plus your aim. Home inspiration is fairly essential. That plays a major function in improving oneself fancy. The motivation accelerates with your sense of health. It is getting construed incredibly wrong with a great deal of people. First, it's not a'bad thing'. It is certainly an part of psychology which has gotten lots of attention, especially in the recent years. A second substantial method by simply which persons may boost their non-public motivation through associating with positive women and men. It contains the points that every single of us may perform to encourage themselves one at a time for this and make our wants become realities. Inspiration is certainly entirely personal. This is something which comes from within just. The inspiration designed for a patterns may as well result from less-apparent factors just like welldisposedness or perhaps values.
In a regarding constant on-line distraction, it has the tough to pay attention to our targets! In the event that you would like to endlessly improve and get nearer to your targets, there's a good deal of things need to END undertaking and elements that you want to receive started carrying out. After you have completed one or two marks, you'll notice that it's a great deal easier to inspire your self to continue on meeting little goals prior to completing the biggest aim. Nothing will prevent you from thinking about goals you would like to accomplish. Your aims will certainly define exactly who you will turn out. Having said this kind of, always get reasons to come to be happy about the scenarios you do, the goals if you're pursuing, the dreams it's attempting to know, and the existence you're seeking to live. When you get those life expectations and your each day actions, you will have to tone the bond between them regularly.
In that case, discover what added abilities or knowledge would boost the preparedness. Motivation amounts are genuinely crucial for you to keep in your small business. It's also crucial to comprehend the degree of individual determination is basically an outward appearance, on the attitudes i'm channeling in the camera. Your motivation definitely will increase. It is an important matter that takes on an essential position in improving proficiency and maximizing production. What's most likely a lot easier to grasp would be that the motivation just for staying dry is keen to be a demand for the man or perhaps woman to achieve the ability to experience themselves, peacefully on a daily basis.
Testing Motivation when it comes to finding inspiration to achieve each of our goals, there are other individuals merely normally include itand consequently there are other folks so, who have difficulties to discover and adopt it. Be aware that sometimes you will have the motivation and for situations it only fades aside and you'll experience lost and sad. Determination Here is certainly the point where the stress begins. Do it yourself determination is a combo of can power, desired goals and capacity to keep on getting the maximum level of succeeding. It is just a critical top quality that 1 has to have. Now there are several things you can do to assist you discover determination. In the event you or perhaps someone you know appears to lack motivation, it would be a great notion to clearly make a decision or determine the desired goals you desire to reach. There will be a amount of reasons for self motivation staying so vital in a person's lifestyle. It can be known as the most important factor in your existence.
I see a variety of questions web based from people who find it hard to remain determined or people which are actually panicking since they state they've lost their motivation. Determination is a seriously complex issue. That is important to the good businessman. It is the most important factor in each of our lives. Inbuilt inspiration is going to be connected to personal pleasure, pleasure and fascination, while extrinsic motivation is going to be connected to countless different choices. This is understood to be the fun that a person feels simply by achieving the work itself and it is influenced by concerns that folks see that they may control themselves, based mostly on all their level of dedication and amount of effort. This is in reality exactly the same when engagement.

'Finished' business
A psychology graduate's long road to a PhD
By Kelly Foss
Lynn Frizzell always intended to get a PhD, but "life happened."
The soon-to-be Dr. Lynn Frizzell.
While it may have taken her a few years longer than expected – 11 of them, in fact – she will receive her PhD in psychology (developmental) during fall convocation at the St. John's Arts and Culture Centre on Oct. 17.
She completed her B.Sc. (Hons.) in psychology (behavioural neuroscience) at Memorial in 1990, and a master's in 1995, under the supervision of "a wonderful mentor," Dr. Carolyn Harley.
From rats to children
Her plan was to move from that into a PhD. However, she began to develop a severe allergy to the lab rats she worked with.
"I was wearing a double-respirating mask and gloves while working 12-hour days to finish my master's," said Ms. Frizzell. "There was no sense in continuing in that field if I wasn't going to be able to manage a career in it. But a PhD was always my plan, which is why it felt like unfinished business."
She investigated programs at other universities, but then started a family and stayed home for four years with her young children.
"People would say, 'Why are you staying home? You've got a master's degree,'" she said. "But my family was always my priority. Everything else had to balance around that."
For over a decade, Ms. Frizzell evaluated child and family programs and policies for governmental and non-governmental organizations.
Ultimately, she returned to Memorial to work as a research co-ordinator for the Centre of Excellence for Children and Adolescents with Special Needs, under the direction of Dr. Mary Courage and Dr. Patricia Canning.
For the next decade, she worked with non-governmental organizations and government groups, evaluating child and family programs and policies. She wrote papers, travelled to conferences and did presentations. The whole time she was encouraged by Drs. Courage and Canning to start her PhD.
"I got to do all of those things because they gave me every opportunity, and I loved it, and after a couple of years, they convinced me," she said. "I was 40 with a full-time job and two children – if I was ever going to do it, I thought I better get on with it."
This time, instead of working with rats, Ms. Frizzell decided to switch her focus to "hypoallergenic creatures": children.
More than just a daycare
She completed courses in 2008 and her comprehensive exam in 2009. For the comprehensive, she was given 12 weeks to research a topic and either find a gap in the literature or make a new connection.
"My idea came to me while sitting in a parking lot in Kelligrews in the dead of winter, waiting for my son's hockey game to start," said Ms. Frizzell. "That's where I did a lot of reading – sitting in a car, or at dance studios, soccer fields and hockey stadiums. I also burned a lot of midnight oil, doing most of my work between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. after the kids had gone to bed."
Ms. Frizzell tested 132 children at daycares across the region to determine if background television interfered with their learning.
She wrote her paper and defended it, with distinction. Then she began a research project on whether background television interfered with children's learning. She started collecting data at Memorial's Childcare Centre and eventually included children from seven other daycares in the region.
"There would be a television on in the background while I was reading a child a story and asking questions, getting them to do a puzzle or a task on the iPad," she explained. "I compared how well they performed with and without TV. The staff at Memorial's daycare were indispensable. They are more than just a daycare; research is also part of their mandate."
It took from 2011-13, to recruit and test 132 children and then she had to analyze and write up the data. That's where things began to slow down.
"I had entire semesters where I didn't make much progress because family members had serious illnesses, my husband and I both left jobs and started new ones," said Ms. Frizzell. "Things happened."
Finally, she submitted her thesis for examination in September 2018 and defended it in June.
"The weight of the world came off my shoulders," she said. "But through it all, I had incredible support from my husband, children, family and friends, and great role models in Mary, Patricia, Carolyn and my mother. I saw her go back to school when I was 12, so maybe we're just a family of late bloomers."
Despite the long nights and the time it took to reach the end, Ms. Frizzell says working towards her PhD opened new doors, including teaching and a new job as a grants facilitation officer with the Faculty of Science.
"Would I recommend people start a PhD at 40? Probably not. Do it in your 20s when you are young and unencumbered. But don't turn down an opportunity because of age. It's only a number."

Hong Leong Bank re-launches hackathon to hire fit-for-future talent
Hong Leong Bank (HLB) has brought back the Can You Hack It 24-hour hackathon following its debut success last year.
To be held on 27 and 28 April 2019 at Menara Hong Leong in Damansara City, the initiative falls under HLB's digital innovation push. It offers prizes of RM15,000 in cash, potential employment opportunities at the bank and even further funding and support for incubator or accelerator programmes for promising projects that are presented.
A collaboration with JomHack Malaysia, Google Cloud and Rakuten RapidAPI, Can You Hack It is one of HLB's initiatives in solving the challenge of hiring fit-for-future talent while immediately rewarding individuals and teams who demonstrate innovation and great ideas for better banking.
These collaborations enable participants to build greater functionality and flexibility into their solutions through shared APIs, which are essentially a standardised way for applications to share information.
The hackathon is designed to allow participants to propose their ideas or solve problem statements provided by the Bank and then demonstrating a working prototype to a panel of HLB's key executives and observers from the local digital industry and VC scene.
With over 150 FinTech developers and designers in one place, it will explore the limits of their imagination in the field of financial products, banking experiences, and in the discovery of new uses for existing technologies.
Domenic Fuda, Group Managing Director and CEO of HLB, said: "We were very impressed with the energy and out-of-the-box creative thinking demonstrated by last Hackathon's participants, especially given the fact that they only had a day to complete the challenge and that's the reason Can You Hack It is now one of the platforms we use for hiring.
"Some of the previous hackathon participants have interned with us and have also joined us full-time. In addition, we are also collaborating with some of the teams to commercialise their ideas. This year, apart from discovering fit-to-hire new talent for the bank, we want to focus on finding new thinking around how we can delight our customers through smarter banking experiences."

Writing a career objective can be a tricky task – My First Job Survey by Monster.com revealed that a majority of job seekers find the career objective section the hardest part of resume writing (32%). It even outranks explaining a career gap (17%), which is also considered tough.
If you're searching for your first job, don't skip this section. Stating your objectives on your resume is especially important because you don't have enough work history to define your goals. A career objective allows you to highlight personality traits and transferable skills that make you the right fit for the position. By beginning your resume with a quality that makes you valuable to the company, you'll immediately capture the hiring manager's attention.
Broadly, a career objective is a short summary telling a hiring manager that you have the relevant skills, abilities and experience to help the company achieve its goals. Placed directly under your contact information and ahead of your education and experience, it's the first thing a recruiter will see when scanning your resume. Get it right, and you'll ensure that your CV makes it to the 'yes' pile.
One of the reasons why this section has received such a bad rap is because there's some amount of confusion about whose objectives have to be met. Is it meant to highlight what you get out of the job or what you can bring to it?
To clarify this once and for all – a career objective should NOT be telling the hiring manager what you want from the company, i.e how it will help your career. That information can go in your cover letter. Your career objective section should focus on the skills and abilities you possess that can help you successfully fulfill the responsibilities of the position being advertised. Because at this stage in the hiring process, it's all about what the employer wants (as opposed to what you want, which can be explored at the interview stage).
A career objective should highlight traits that will be valued by the company. For instance, if you were a student body president in college, you can mention that the experience helped you gain leadership, management or organisational skills. Or if you were an active sportsperson, you can say you're disciplined, good with strategy and a team player. If you have exceptional academic achievements (i.e. you made it to the merit list), work that in as well.
A hiring manager for a position in a public relations company may be less interested in your analytical ability but keen to know how your public speaking abilities are. So ensure the skills you highlight in your career objective are specifically targeting the role and industry that you're applying for. Be sure to focus on skills or traits that the employer mentions in the job description. Also, check that the traits you claim to have are featured in more detail on your resume.
Hiring managers have very little time to review resumes; if they find your objectives are vague and don't match their requirements, they will immediately move onto the next candidate. So an objective that reads – "Looking for a exciting position with potential for progress" just doesn't cut it.
• Include your years of work experience; if you have none, mention your educational degree.
• Describe your strongest quality (one that can be demonstrated) and how it connects to the role you are applying for.
• Mention how you're focused on achieving company goals.
With this in mind, you could say: I'm an MBA with six months internship experience at a multinational company. I believe that I have both the academic knowledge and work experience to fill this management trainee position. A diligent worker, I'm committed to attaining your company goals and would be happy to take on more duties as quickly as possible.

Q: Connect to Amazon Neptune db from local Gremlin server from java app Right now we are using Janusgraph. Nodes and Vertices in our graph have entitlement tagged.  We have customized the Gremlin server to check the entitlement after each step execution.
This Gremlin server is started using a Java app.
I am wondering if we can do the same thing for Neptune i.e. start a local Gremlin server and connect to Neptune DB and customize it for entitlement checks.
Also, is it possible to configure a custom serializer for gremlin query response?
Adding the sample config:
host: MyNeptuneHost
port: 8182
evaluationTimeout: 30000
channelizer: org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.server.channel.WebSocketChannelizer
graphs: {
  graph: conf/tinkergraph-empty.properties}
scriptEngines: {
  gremlin-groovy: {
    plugins: { org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.server.jsr223.GremlinServerGremlinPlugin: {},
               org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.tinkergraph.jsr223.TinkerGraphGremlinPlugin: {},
               org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.jsr223.ImportGremlinPlugin: {classImports: [java.lang.Math], methodImports: [java.lang.Math#*]},
               org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.jsr223.ScriptFileGremlinPlugin: {files: [scripts/empty-sample.groovy]}}}}
serializers:
  - { className: org.myApp.tinkerpop.gremlin.driver.ser.MyAppGraphSONMessageSerializerV3d0, config: { ioRegistries: [org.myApp.tinkerpop.gremlin.tinkergraph.structure.MyAppIoRegistryV3d0] }}

A: Amazon Neptune exposes the same entry point you would expect to see from any other Gremlin Server. So to your application, Neptune looks just like a Gremlin server. However, you cannot configure the serializers other than to specify the one you want used (by selecting one from the available set) when you create a connection to the server. It's not clear from your question how the entitlement checks are performed but you cannot customize the Neptune server itself other than to adjust the settings exposed via Parameter Groups and query settings (such as time outs).
