Hilton Head People
Intriguing Person: Anthony Kandel
By Brad Swope
New Hilton Head Prep chief and his family are ready to enjoy island living.
Anthony Kandel, newly named head of school at Hilton Head Preparatory School, would admit to personal as well as professional reasons why he's eager to move to the island.
Those reasons could be summarized as "Sun" and "Belt." Kandel, contacted March 4 in Philadelphia, where he heads the upper school at Haverford School, reported an outdoor temperature of 16 degrees at mid-morning.
"Two nights ago it snowed eight inches," the Los Angeles native added.
April's MVP: Ted Cooley
By Michele Roldán-Shaw
NAMI volunteer offers hope to families affected by mental illness.
Dealing with mental illness can be a baffling and traumatic experience for everyone involved.
But thanks to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), family members of the affected now have somewhere to turn.
Bluffton resident Ted Cooley, who was named NAMI's 2008 Volunteer of the Year in South Carolina, knows first-hand what it's like to see a loved one suffer from mental illness —his son has schizoaffective disorder.
"You have someone who is very successful and lives a wonderful life, then all of a sudden strange things start to happen," said Cooley, citing a statistic that one in five families today are touched by mental illness. "They go from being a loving person to a person who has all these crazy ideas, and the parents have no idea what's wrong or how to deal with it."
Lowcountry Living Guide - A Comprehensive Guide To Area Communities
Hilton Head & Daufuskie Communities
One of the most unique aspects of the Lowcountry, from a geographical standpoint, is the expansive barrier islands that dot the coast. Connected by intricate rivers and marshes, these islands form a chain of unique areas, each with a flavor of its own. Perhaps none of these islands is as famous worldwide for its beauty as Hilton Head Island, which has found itself transformed over the past few decades into an amenity-rich hometown like no other.
But, just a brief ferry ride away, lies a less known barrier island, called Daufuskie, where the world slows to a crawl, a sunset lasts forever and neighbors become close friends over an oyster roast. It is becoming increasingly familiar, however, as new developments and amenities attract more visitors to its shores.
Hilton Head Island has always been synonymous with good times thanks to the popularity of events, such as the Verizon Heritage and the many arts, food and community festivals enjoyed by visitors and locals. Home to a rich community of artists and performers, Hilton Head offers numerous cultural experiences, from musical events to stage performances and everything in between.
Lowcountry Living Guide - Bluffton & Okatie Areas
It wasn't that long ago that, between Hilton Head Island and I-95, you'd find nothing but timber land. Just a few miles away from this strip, you'd find a sleepy little oyster town named Bluffton. Oozing Southern charm, this quiet corner of the world lived with the tides in a one-square-mile paradise on earth. Then, about 15 years ago, the area simply exploded. Its natural beauty, coupled with its prime location, convenient to Savannah, Hilton Head Island and Beaufort, created the perfect jumping off point for development. Funny thing is, though, as big as Bluffton becomes, it's still that quiet town perched on a river.
That explosion of development continued on to nearby Okatie, and in fact it is this newer area where much of today's most exciting growth continues. Now, Bluffton and Okatie are some of the most vibrant and fast-growing areas in the state. Both have been very careful to balance new growth with environmental considerations, and it has paid off with an area rich in cultural opportunities and ample space for those looking to set down roots.
We begin in Bluffton, where old and new blend to create a unique and charming environment. Where else can you find a stateof-the-art tech park, home to the vanguard in technology, situated right up the road from a downtown that has remained largely unchanged since Bluffton still woke and slept by the tides? Where else can you enjoy a round of world-class golf on courses designed by the greats, take in a movie in stadium seating with the latest in picture and sound, browse the unique works of a score of talented local artists, and then plan your evening around the tides as you set up for a barbecue on the May River's famous sandbar?
The first Blufftonians were Native Americans who came to reap the bounty of this riverside paradise's shellfish, crabs and oysters. Apart from their annual visits, however, the town's sole resident was the majestic May. That changed in the early 19th century when wealthy planters from around the state, and largely from nearby Savannah, flocked to "Bluff Town" to enjoy the cooling breezes that the May brought with each tide. In addition to keeping insects at bay, these breezes created a comfortable climate far from the heat of the city.
Bluffton's road access to Charleston and Savannah and coastal locations made it a trade hotspot for farmers shipping their goods to cities up and down the coast and abroad. This trade spurred tremendous growth and, in 1852, the town officially incorporated as "Bluffton." Over time, the town's reputation as a trading post would be eclipsed by its role in fostering secessionist thought.
According to legend, disgruntled planters from Bluffton would meet at what is now called the Secession Oak (which still stands; albeit on private property, so don't plan a visit) to air their grievances with federal trade policies. Their discussions would eventually spawn a rebellious ideology that would come to be known as the "Bluffton Movement." This radical new movement would soon spread across the South, encouraging secession by planters and farmers and setting the stage for the "War of Northern Aggression."
Within 16 years, the tensions reflected in the Bluffton Movement boiled over, and the first shots of the war rang out in Fort Sumter, just up the coast. Union troops, recognizing Bluffton as the birthplace of the secessionist movement, razed the town and burned many buildings, churches, and more than 30 homes. Along with these buildings, most of the town's archives went up in flames, all but erasing Bluffton's rich history. What we know now about Bluffton's past has been painstakingly pieced together from letters, state records and family stories.
The few buildings which escaped the Northern torches, silent survivors of history's brutality, were restored or renovated once the war ended. One such home, and perhaps the most famous, is the Heyward House. Believed to have been built in 1840, this stately reminder of a bygone era, appropriately enough, currently serves as home for the Bluffton Historical Preservation Society. The Society has made great strides in protecting Bluffton's cherished history as the town builds toward the future.
This "historic district" has helped foster yet another radical movement: a quirky, whimsical attitude that has come to be known as "The Bluffton State of Mind." Born of the relaxed creativity of its eccentric population, this mixture of art, performance, and culture is helping to redefine Bluffton.
If this state of mind had a capital, it would no doubt be Calhoun Street, the cultural heart of Bluffton.
Calhoun Street hosts a variety of festivals and parades, from the Bluffton Village Festival to the TGI3rd Friday events, all of which celebrate Bluffton's unique mindset and atmosphere.
Utilizing a town manager style of government, Bluffton has the people and pieces in place to face its exciting future, while preserving its history and charm. The many neighborhoods around Bluffton offer amenities to suit nearly every taste, including golf, water views and luxurious stables. Combine that with plenty of shopping opportunities, from outlet malls to big box retailers to wonderful local shops, and add a short trip to the beaches of Hilton Head Island or the big city fun of Savannah, and it's easy to see why so many are choosing to call Bluffton home.
The Bluffton Parkway continues to link the town together, as the recently-opened portions open it all the way to S.C. 170 and new stretches one day hope to provide a second route from the bridges to Hilton Head all the way out to I-95.
Farther north, in Okatie, development has included several new commercial districts and neighborhoods. Trading on the natural beauty along the Okatie River, this region is home to various neighborhoods that exult in outdoor activities. While the development in Bluffton was just booming, Okatie patiently waited for its chance to grow. Now, that chance has come, with new retail spaces opening up and new neighborhoods in the works.
Another exciting "South of the Broad" area is the up-and-coming city of Hardeeville. Once little more than a pit stop for travelers heading down I-95, this picturesque Southern town is expanding, with new developments going up in recent years and dedication to maintaining the small town charm that has people feeling as if they've stepped into another world.
There's no telling how big this region will become in the coming years. Its location, infrastructure and natural beauty assure that it will continue to draw new residents, and smart development policies promise it will continue keeping an eye on preservation.
Forgiveness and friendship are good investments during tough times
By Dr. Douglas K. Fletcher
ACROSS AMERICA and on Hilton Head Island, people have seen their projections of retirement income decimated.
Jobs have been lost, income sharply curtailed. I would like to be able to say that my church has been spared all the chaos, anxiety, and heartache. It has not. Instead, we participate in the broader experience of the community, and our people, whether longtime members or new to faith, have no guarantee of protection from adversity, financial or otherwise.
But the issues do get framed differently in church. After all, along with the economic challenges come a number of spiritual challenges. There is the challenge of anxiety and stress of living in uncertain times.
But then what times are really certain? Jesus didn't counsel running away from stress, but instead invited us to remember that God cares more about us than about birds or flowers.

February's MVP: Elizabeth Hancock
By Teresa Fitzgibbons
Elizabeth Hancock leads Friends of the Children of Hilton Head.
Few things are as devastating as the diagnosis of a serious illness in a child. Elizabeth and Bobby Hancock faced that bleak reality, and all the uncertainties that accompany it, when their daughter Sarah was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes.
Thanks to MUSC Children's Hospital in Charleston, the Hancocks' story has a happy ending.
Today, Elizabeth Hancock and the organization she cofounded are doing all they can to ensure that other families have the same experience.
"We're so grateful; the care we received was incredible," she said. " We knew we needed to let others in this area know about and connect to the hospital and the resources there."

Here are the winners and some of their extraordinary achievements.
At 5.58pm on 7 December 2017 I was in the federal parliament gallery as marriage equality became law. Here's what happened.


My name is Sarah and I'm the newest member here on Honestly Motherhood. I'm so excited to begin this new journey! First, I wanted to introduce myself a little just so you know who I am….
I love being with my family; they mean the world to me. We all live 2+ hours away, so when we are together it is a sweet time. I enjoy watching movies, crocheting, photography, traveling, serving others, singing in the car, thrifting, watching Downton Abbey and Fixer Upper, missions, different cultures and reading lots and lots of books! I have a passion for children and education and am pursuing a degree in early childhood education. I currently work for the public school system here as an Instructional Assistant in a Multiple Disability classroom.
My Mom and Dad, brothers and sister in law.
My wonderful family I gained this past June.
I currently live in Virginia with my husband, Aric. On June 13, 2015, we got married. It simply was the best day. Aric and I knew each other all throughout college, but it wasn't until five years later that we actually connected as good friends and started dating; 8 months after that, we tied the knot! This past November the Lord blessed us with the amazing news that we were expecting our first child. What a journey it has been. There is nothing….absolutely nothing that has been a greater joy and challenge in my life than this pregnancy.
My husband, Aric and I.
When I first found out I was pregnant back in November I realized how naive I was. I took the pregnancy test one morning super early and saw a positive reading in less than a minute. My heart raced and I couldn't help but wake my sleeping husband at 6 am to tell him the news. Weary eyed, he looked at me smile and realized 10 minutes later what I actually had said and was ecstatic. By that weekend our whole immediate family knew our exciting news and I thought , "Okay..smooth sailing until July, I'll get this adorable baby bump, cute maternity clothes, start getting baby stuff and this is gonna be a blast!" Sure, some of those things did happen, but I'm sure as most of you moms know, that is simply not what it's like the entire 9 months of carrying your baby.
It was around week 7 that the morning sickness came full force. I always thought, "Hey, morning sickness? I can handle a little nausea in the morning and be just fine for the rest of the day…." Whoever called it morning sickness was a cruel individual. It was all day, every day up until around the 12 week mark. The roughest part was just getting through the work day. My body was exhausted by the end of my 7.5 hour work day and I found myself lying in bed at 5pm and waking up the next morning at 6:30 a.m. in time for another day. The cycle seemed never-ending. On top of that I had major anxiety. Before I found out I was pregnant I struggled with anxiety. Facing this unknown was paralyzing to me. Fears of miscarriage or hurting my baby by the way I slept, what I ate or lack of what I ate haunted me. My body kept changing in ways I didn't understand and I would cry myself into hysteria because I was afraid. Pregnancy was not what I imagined.
Worship. That was to be my response. Give thanks to the Lord for his abounding blessing in my life. The nausea meant the baby was well. The anxiety caused me to pray and seek the Lord more. It was a small breakthrough.
I love reading the passage Psalm 119:13-14, now that I am expecting. It has a whole new meaning.
I tend to be a control freak. This verse shows me that I have no control over my baby. Sure I can pray for my baby, eat healthy, exercise and take my vitamins but I am not the one knitting together the innermost being of my precious little one. It has given me so much comfort in my pregnancy knowing that Christ is the one in control. I can do nothing but rejoice in the fact that the Lord has called me to be this baby's mom. I feel so blessed.
I am now 14 weeks pregnant with our little babe. We got to hear baby's heartbeat this past week at my last appointment, which is always my favorite thing to hear. Heartburn and headaches are in full swing everyday and taking naps is my absolute favorite thing to do (just ask my husband). I am excited for this journey ahead and to see where and what the Lord is going to do with our family!
My love language is quality time and gifts.
His is words of affirmation and acts of service.
We clearly don't speak the same languages when it comes to love.
People who practice love languages often speak of "love tanks". So, the premise is that when those who love you don't show you love the way you receive it (your love language), then your "love tank" will remain empty.
An empty love tank can wreak havoc on even the most emotionally stable individual.
But should we really only focus on those rare moments when the clouds divide and the sun shines blazing down on us in the form of a well-spoken language?
My challenge to you, to mostly myself, is to use this coming year to pay attention to all of the ways that your spouse shows love to you.
I found myself only focusing on the fact that my overworked husband spent more time talking on the phone doing service calls than he did speaking to me. I would discredit his love because I didn't want to find it in the water bottle he brought me every night before bed or the way he woke up a little early to get our baby so I could sleep.
When you bring me a white mocha and sit next to me at church in the loft.
So, this year, I'm purposing to look beyond my love language. To notice and appreciate the love in the thousands of ways it's shown to me.
When you warm up my car before we leave without being asked.
And I'm taking one photo of that "thing" that "act" everyday. Project:Love (Noticed). We're only six days in to the year and it's already changed me. I've found I'm actively looking for those loving acts and not getting so hung up on if he gave me eye contact while I was rehashing my day.
When you buy groceries after you've worked all day.
I'm not going to tell him about it and hope to present him with a collage or slideshow of some sort of all 365 ways I noticed his love for me this year.
I challenge you to join me in this. If you don't want to take photos, at least purpose to find ways to notice how much your spouse loves you beyond your love language. Don't get stuck there. You may not speak that language they are showing to you, but you can always learn to receive it as exactly what it is: an act of love.
Heres to stronger marriages and love understood.
If you didn't hear from me much this weekend, there's a good reason for that.
We went away, for the first time, as a couple, since we spent two nights away at Myrtle Beach over five years ago. That was when we just had our two boys.
Most of you know, we've had a really rough year. 2015 has been the hardest, most challenging, stressful, but most blessed year yet.
We had NO idea what a Weekend to Remember was. All we knew was that we were the most loved, grateful couple on the planet to receive such a selfless gift. A weekend away from reality. A weekend to just be us.
We didn't see much of Charleston. We've both been a few times before, so it wasn't a total bust to stay in a conference room 90% of the time. In fact, it was LIFE CHANGING.
We prayed, we laughed (a LOT), we cried (well, I did), we hugged, we kissed, we were honest, we were stretched, we were reminded, we were taught, we were rebuked, we were both the receivers and givers of grace. It was beautiful.
So, if you ever, EVER get the opportunity to do this...to go and change your marriage from mediocre to amazing, DO IT.
I wish I could've spent five more days alone practicing all that we learned before diving back into life. That is the only thing I would change. Everything else was amazing.
You MUST go to here when you're in Charleston. Seriously.
Pulled pork hash is like...well, let's put it this way, it's like my tongue was hugging me after every bite. I'm not kidding.
My AMAZING best friend and her never ending sacrificial love on display once again as she watched our children,along with her own four, for most of the weekend. And no, we did NOT ask her to do that.
The last bite of the fried green tomatoes. It was hard to say goodbye.
We saw the ocean for five seconds, but really, who cares. We were ALONE.
I have equal love and hate for this bridge. It's so super cool to drive under, but I hate bridges, let's be honest.
This is where we wrote love letters to each other. It was one of the highlights of the weekend.
Oh, and we already signed up to be volunteers at the one in our area in June on our eleventh anniversary. Yes, we can't wait.


BJP State General Secretary and MLA C T Ravi has said that the election results in Jharkhand and Jammu and Kashmir proved that voters were craving for a change. The BJP has made considerable progress.
Speaking to mediapersons on Tuesday, he said that it is clear from the results that people have rejected separatists in Jammu and Kashmir.
All nationalists in Jammu and Kashmir should strive for the development of the state, he added.
He accused MLC Gayatri Shante Gowda of harassing farmers in Nagarahalli village.
Farmers belonging to backward class were carrying out protests to save gomala land. They were arrested after lodging false cases against them.
The MLA further said that the BJP will support the protest by farmers opposing atrocity on farmers, on December 25. The victim farmers will be taken to the Chief Minister to resolve the matter.
"The police have harassed innocents, by targeting a particular group in Aldur. And now, the farmers are exploited by the forest department officials," he said.
Zilla Panchayat President Bhagya Ranganath, BJP State Vice President Rekha Huliyappa Gowda, leaders H D Thammaiah, Varasiddhi Venugopal and others were present.


The popular three-star Mayfair Hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes' walk from the centre of St Helier and a 10-minute stroll from the beach. Open all year round, the hotel offers a wealth of facilities including indoor pool, Jacuzzi and gym, along with regular evening entertainment, restaurant, bar and coffee shop. Accommodation options include twin/double and family bedrooms, each en suite with TV and tea/coffee making facilities and junior suites with separate lounge and bedroom areas.
Once again a brilliant visit to the MayfaIr Hotel.
As I recall you have to go into the bus station in St Helier, then get a bus out to your destination. There is no "round the island" route. We stayed in St Helier with a bus stop just outside the hotel. We got the bus down to the station, then another bus to our chosen destination. If you are using the bus to get around it's worth investigating a "3 day" or "7 day" pass from the bus station, as the £2 per journey can quickly mount up to £8+ per person per day. Also I was told parking was a nightmare!
Do any of the rooms have just a shower rather than having to climb in to the bath for disabled guests?
Sorry, both my friend and I had showers over the bath in our rooms. Suggest you ask the hotel whether they have rooms with disabled facilities.
What is the dress code for ladies in the evening?
"No real views as this is a town hotel but for a quieter room choose those with the higher numbers as they are away from the road."
"We have stayed in lots of different room and all have been good."
"Not overlooking St Saviour`s Road."
"We had rooms on the 3rd floor, so they were quite quiet. Honestly, the facilities here are much better than their 3 star rating!"
"Tips for choosing a good room? Pick another hotel."

The Presentation of the Research – the Issues of Open Parliament in OGP Member Countries
May 1, 2015 by OGP Blog
EU/UNDP Project "Strengthening the System of Parliamentary Democracy in Georgia" in cooperation with the Institute for Development of Freedom of Information (IDFI), with the partnership of the Parliament of Georgia, is implementing the project "Supporting Parliament of Georgia Involvement in Open Government Partnership".
Within the scopes of the project, in the Parliament Palace of Kutaisi, on April 30, the second meeting between the Inter-Factional Group and the Open Parliament Georgia Working Group was held. The MPs and the International and Non-Governmental Organizations participating in the Open Parliament Georgia Working Group took part in the meeting. The meeting was chaired by MP Ms. Guguli Maghradze. Ms. Guguli Maghradze is also the chair of the Editorial Board comprised by the MPs of the Inter-Factional Group.
Mr. Levan Avalishvili, the Chairman of the Institute for Development of Freedom of Information (IDFI), presented the research conducted by the Institute for Development of Freedom of Information (IDFI) – the Issues of Open Parliament in OGP Member Countries. The aim of the research is to provide the thorough information about the Issues of the Open Parliament to the Members of the Inter-Factional Group and the Open Parliament Georgia Working Group. The cornerstones of the research are the action plans of the OGP member countries and the Open Government Guide.
Levan Avalishvili highlighted main issues and disclosures of the research. Particularly, the research highlights the countries that have best practice and a few commitments regarding the Parliamentary Openness. Among these countries are Croatia, Greece, Netherlands, Chile and USA. Their commitments define the establishment of e-legislative process, publishing the bills in easily readable format and increase of the citizen's engagement in the parliamentary affairs.
It is notified that OGP member countries pay the major attention to the implementation of the innovative approaches towards the parliamentary openness, for example, they publish legislative acts in digital raw context. Moreover, citizens can comment the draft-bills with using various e-tools and internet applications. Also the research indicated that the OGP member countries attach particular significance to social media for the development of Parliamentary Openness and citizen engagement. The research showed that the OGP members perceive the Parliamentary Openness as the foundation of trustworthiness before the citizens, improvement of public services and the baseline for fighting against corruption.
While finishing the presentation, the Chairman of the Institute for Development of Freedom of Information (IDFI), Levan Avalishvili, introduced to the participants of the meeting the recommendations of IDFI regarding the Parliamentary Openness. The recommendations include – the opportunity for the citizens to comment draft legislation via official web-page of the Parliament of Georgia, E-Consultations regarding the laws, better access to the Documents of Parliament for the People with Disabilities, E-Petitions, the involvement of the citizens in the discussions regarding the Budget issues of Georgia, translating the Documents of Parliament in the languages of ethnical minorities and other recommendations as well.
After the presentation, the participants of the meeting expressed their ideas and comments towards the research. The MP Ms. Guguli Maghradze defined the importance and the meaning of this research. She mentioned that this research will help the members of the Inter-Factional Group and the Open Parliament Georgia Working Group to acquaint with the Open Parliament Issues of other countries.
Ms. Guguli Maghradze highlighted the importance to comment the draft legislation by the citizens of Georgia. Commenting the draft legislation will support the involvement of the citizens in the Activities of the Parliament, she said. Ms. Guguli Maghradze said that commenting the draft laws would highlight the role of the citizen unlike the circumstances where the draft laws are supported by the lobbyist groups. She defined the importance of access of the citizens to the contents of the legislation as understanding laws is not easy for everyone, therefore legislation should be drawn out in easy and understandable language. Ms. Guguli Maghradze also highlighted the importance of the E-Consultations and the access to the documents of Parliament to the People with Disabilities.
MP Mr. Giorgi Kakhiani emphasized the role of E-Petitions within the meaning of the involvement of the citizens and asked for providing the further information regarding this issue. He also defined the increasingly active role of the legislative initiatives and the legislative proposals from the perspective of the citizens. Mr. Levan Avalishvili focused on the examples of various countries which try to solve effectively the problems of the complex legislative language. He also underlined the experience of Finland and Germany regarding the E-Petitions.
The Representative of NDI Ms. Tamar Sartania and Director of NDI Ms. Laura Thornton featured the necessity to define the issues of inner regulations of the Open Parliament. They said that this will give more opportunity to the citizens to be present on the plenary sessions and committee meetings. Moreover, representatives of NDI put forward the initiative that the Inter-Factional Group and the Open Parliament Georgia Working Group should work to improve these regulations.
Head of the Civil Society Institute Mr. Vazha Salamadze defined the role of the Memorandum on Cooperation signed by the Parliament of Georgia and the civil societies on the year of 2013, December the 12th. Particularly, according to this Memorandum Parliament of Georgia and Civil Societies agree on designating the unified policy towards supporting of development of civil societies. This Memorandum also includes various standards for supporting the Openness. Mr. Salamadze defined that this Memorandum could be considered as the important foundation for supporting the Parliamentary Openness.
In the end of the meeting, the members of the Inter-Factional Group and the Open Parliament Georgia Working Group discussed the future formats of the meetings and the issues regarding the drawing out of the Open Parliament Georgia Action Plan.

Emmanuel Sanders: "Me and Demaryius Thomas complement each other"

Share All sharing options for: Emmanuel Sanders: "Me and Demaryius Thomas complement each other"
From the moment he arrived, Emmanuel Sanders was going to become the true deep threat for Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. So far he has impressed the entire team and now with his words continues that positive first impression with the media and fans. Here is what he had to say.
On teammates praise
It makes me feel good. But at the end of the day I still have a lot of work that I have to put in. It's early. It's OTA's right now. I'd be lying to you if I told you that I know the playbook. My head is still spinning a little bit, but I'll tell you what, I'm happy and excited to be a Denver Bronco.
On building chemistry
...if this game was easy, anybody could do it. The good thing about chemistry is that Peyton understands that I understand that. So after every single OTA practice, you'll see me and Peyton out there trying to work on chemistry, work on plays and things of that sort.
On Demaryius Thomas
It's been fun. Me and Demaryius complement each other. DT is a big receiver. He's a big, physical receiver and I'm a more a smaller, quick, faster receiver that can stretch the field. ... I think Peyton likes that a lot better also.
On spreading the ball around
Anytime you get the opportunity to play with Peyton Manning you're going to be able to capitalize on that. The numbers were right, the numbers were perfect for me, good enough for me. I'm a guy that doesn't want too much ... now to come into a passing system with one of the greatest, if not the greatest, quarterbacks to ever play that position, is definitely a blessing.
On the playbook
I'll tell you what, the playbook is definitely a lot harder than any playbook I've ever been a part of because they do a great job of moving guys around. That's what I want to be a part of. I'm excited. Today I was running around telling the guys, "Look, we're fortunate. This is a blessing to be in the National Football League". ... I'm just out here enjoying it and loving the environment I'm in and I'm also in the passing attack and that's something I want to be in when I entered the National Football League.
I'm going to take my time. I still have a long way to go with this playbook but when it comes, I feel like I'll be ready.
On Montee Ball
I think Montee works extremely hard. In the weight room he's working hard, he's one of those guys that doesn't really say too much but you always see him working hard out on the field. He's been running the ball really well. I think it's kind of hard to distinguish what kind of a back he is because I've never played with him before until the pads come on. But I think he's a hard worker and I think he'll have a productive year for us.
Denver Broncos OTAs: everything you need to know
This Bulldog wants to be a Bronco
Sanders: Me and Demaryius complement each other
Ball: "I'm not taking anything for granted"

Direction (1-10): In the passage given below there are blanks which are numbered from 1 to 15. They are to be filled with the options given below the passage against each of the respective numbers. Find out the appropriate word in each case which can most suitably complete the sentence without altering its meaning.
The verb 'Roam' means to move about or travel aimlessly or unsystematically, especially over a wide area. Hence it is the perfect fit for the given blank and completes the sentence grammatically as well as contextually.
If the passage is read properly, it is very clearly that Fox had fallen into a well and hence option (c) is the most appropriate choice to fill the given blank.
In the given blank, the sentence continues after the blank and suggests that the fox had to remain there (in the well) until the next morning, and before the blank, the words, 'he had no other'. Hence, clearly, 'Alternative' is the correct answer choice here as the sentence aims to suggest that the fox was trapped in the well and had no other choice than to stay there till the morning.
For the given blank option (a), i.e. 'that' is the most appropriate choice as it suggests that on the next day a goat walked onto the same path.
Since, the sentence just prior to the sentence in question mentions that the Goat asked the fox a question, 'replied' should come in blank 5.
In the context of the passage and seeing the grammatical acceptability of the options given, 'tasted' fits in perfectly into the given blank. Hence, option (a) is the correct answer choice.
The preposition used after the blank is 'into', hence only option (d) and (e) are relevant here. Also, looking into the context of the passage it is very clear that 'jumped' is the most appropriate choice for the given blank. Hence, option (e) is the correct answer here.
'Helpless' is the perfect choice for this blank. It suggests that just like the Fox, the Goat was also caught in the well and found itself without any help to get out of it.
Option (d) is the accurate choice here. The Goat was innocent as it was fell into the trap set by the clever Fox.
For the given blank, 'never' fits in perfectly and completes the sentence contextually and concludes the passage meaningfully.
Directions (11-13): Choose the word which is most SIMILAR in meaning to the word printed in bold below.
SYMPATHY - feelings of pity and sorrow for someone else's misfortune SOLACE - Comfort or consolation in a time of great distress or sadness.
Directions (14-15): Choose the word which is most OPPOSITE in meaning to the word printed in bold below.
INSANE – in a state of mind which prevents normal perception, behaviour, or social interaction; seriously mentally ill. SANE - (of a person) of sound mind; not mad or mentally ill.

What could possibly top skiing in the Alps? Skiing in the Alps while being fed by Michelin-starred chefs, obviously. But there is really an option for people who would rather eat haute cuisine at the ski resort than sad, soggy fries, and The Huffington Post recently sent a writer to check out the Slope Food and Gourmet Ski Safari at Alta Badia in Italy's Dolomite Mountains to show off how faaaaaancy skiing gets check out the six chefs they stranded in the mountains to cook.
Surprisingly, the entire package is fairly affordable (dishes were priced between nine and 15 euros), and will run until April. So while everyone there goes and indulges in Michelin-quality tapas, we guess we'll just sit here in our soggy ski boots and eat industrial-grade chili in the lodge.

From today's edition of the NY Times
The Internet's Wilder Side
By SETH SCHIESEL
"Mr. Bierman and other I.R.C. developers and administrators said that they were contacted by federal law enforcement officials fairly often. Mr. Bierman said that he sometimes cooperated in helping the government track down specific people using I.R.C. to wage major attacks. He added, however, that he had refused government officials' requests to build a back door into his I.R.C. software that would allow agents to monitor I.R.C. more easily.
"Basically the F.B.I. is interested in the best way to monitor the traffic,'' Mr. Bierman said.
Mr. Kulstad of the Justice Department declined to comment on its specific contacts with the I.R.C. community."
While this article in question does not specifically make any mention of Khalid being contacted or therefore actively participating with law enforcement authorities I think given the article and the mention of the FBI requesting IRC authors to build backdoors into their clients, that it should be discussed as to whether or not Khalid has been contacted and/or if he is participating with law enforcement when it comes to coding updates to mIRC... Again this isn't an allegation, however, given the article I think there is a valid concern for an official answer..

Hoopy frood
First, to make it absolutely clear, this is not an official answer of any description merely what I think....
I highly doubt that Khaled would ever put such a thing in mIRC. I also highly doubt that if he ever did, it would remain undiscovered - with the millions of people that use mIRC I find it hard to believe that none of them would have discovered some sort of odd behaviour in mIRC and not informed the whole world of it. Look at the "Exploit" in 6.14
I'm sure Khaled would co-operate if necessary if such an organisation contacted him to certain limits. In myself (perhaps I'm too trusting?) I am 100% sure that Khaled has not done this to mIRC, and does not intend to - ever. Everyone knows he's a peace lovin' veggie (and I've spoken to people online who've met him IRL and they confirm this ) - doesn't sound like someone who'd do such a thing. mIRC is way too publiscised and popular to get away with such a "scam".
Whilst I'm sure the NYTimes themselves are a trustworthy source, I have no idea who "Mr. Bierman" is and from the description of "server software" it sounds more like he's an IRCd developer and not an IRC client developer. It would be easier (and probably more legal) to keep track of things that go through the server (such as private message queries, channel messages etc.) than it would be to get away with backdooring an IRC client.
I also believe it is illegal to infect an IRC client (or any program) with something which would break privacy laws, although I hope that doesn't spark some law debate whereby people quote the jurisdiction of all these different countries and the "Rights of privacy" on the Internet etc. etc. etc....and despite the media hype which has made the FBI out to be some sort of top secret terrible organisation that are all cloak and dagger (re: X-Files) I'm sure a lot of the departments are very average and have very few resources to cover any sort of crime up and many, many restraints. Not saying such organisations don't hold any secrets, we all know they do (i.e. CIA, KGB, MI5/6 etc.) but I highly doubt it relates to this
So, as the FBI are there to uphold the law, they probably wouldn't break it to do so - as if it was ever uncovered (and with such reports as this it would be/has been) it couldn't go to court in most countries. Speaking of, you have the whole debate abour IRC being a global activity and different countries having different laws, and the FBI having absolutely no jurisdiction over what goes on in them....the whole discussion could go on and on like an energizer bunny (and probably will do) but it's all been said before. </rant>
P.S. As I doubt you typo'd 3 times, you might like to know his name is Khaled :tongue:
Mentality/Chris
Appreciate the correction in regards to the spelling of Khaled's name.
I understand your point, in that it would be much easier to view traffic from a network standpoint rather than a client standpoint however, from experience in life one might say it's always better to be safe rather than sorry.

Well mIRC is developed in Britain so the FBI have no authority over it whatsoever. Even if any kind of 'chat tracking' was put into a client as high profile as mIRC without being explicitly stated that it contained such 'features' I'm almost certain beyond any doubt that it would breach some form of law and would leave mIRC Co. Ltd. wide open for lawsuits. Fortunately in Britain the government isn't quite so far ahead in it's ability to circumvent all basic privacy rights in the War Against Terror�.
In short: I'd bet �10,000 that there's nothing remotely like that in mIRC (if I had �10,000 that is), and even if it ever were it would no doubt be discovered within hours of being released, you simply can't hide that kind of tracking.
'IRC developers and administrators' is far more likely to mean the developers and administrators of the IRC daemons and IRC networks themselves. From the server side you could monitor all IRC traffic over that server without any indication whatsoever to the users so it's from there that any government agency would do it's tracking.
Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.

By Starbucks Mafia: Well mIRC is developed in Britain so the FBI have no authority over it whatsoever.
Quite correct, and something that newpapers and some websites need to learn. The FBI is like any national crime authority in that they only have jurisdiction in their home nation, despite the fantasy world some journalists live in where the FBI seem to be able to do whatever they like.
That said, I am with all sentiment here and believe that mIRC doesn't and won't ever contain backdoors or spyware or any other weird things that the end user won't know about until it's too late. If it ever did I would be the first such user to delete it and get something else or if that idea was fruitless I'd go without the power of scripting and just write a simple client myself.

Nothing like a bit of FBI-nudging towards another country to get their law enforcements to do something. Saying they have no power is well.. a bit absurd.
You won't like it when I get angry.
The_Game
In my opinion, that is as absurd as the RIAA forcing Internet Service Providers to hand over a list of users downloading pirated material. Regardless of a persons geographical location.
The FBI just likes to flex their muscles at other countries to get them to do something. I say the FBI should stick to their own internal problems rather than external...but that's just how I think. As long as the internet exists, so will the few problems that come along with it...
FBI is short for "Fools Bulls****ing Idiots" case in point...look whos in the white house....
Yep, exactly. Sadly one persons absurdity is another's profit-making-idea.
I like your latest signature.
Thanks! It's getting a bit difficult to think up a witty line LOL. Plus I tried to make it sound better but I only have 200 characters to work withl

Personally I think the people involved in making mIRC and IRC happen did a great job. There are some people who may commit bad deeds however I think in this case the good deeds outweight the bad. I don't believe it was the mIRC was made under the intention of being a tool for illegal file sharing.
Either way mIRC/IRC has given me much fun over the past few years.

I look at it like this if he is working along with the FBI and there was a back door into the program I really think in matter of hrs some one will find it.Also I dont have anything to hide other than I download stuff so its not worry for me at all

"Also I dont have anything to hide other than I download stuff so its not worry for me at all"
What do you mean by you "download stuff"? If you're downloading mp3s/movies/software/etc, then you would have something to worry about, as downloading such material is illegal. It's also not what mIRC is meant for, aswell as a good way to get a virus.
On the other hand, if you're just getting picture/text files from a friend, then you wouldn't have much to worry about.
The thing that bothers me is that this is true.
The FBI is actively approaching writers of IRC and Email and HTTP and FTP clients and servers, offering them tax incentives if they add "compliance" to their software. This includes breakable encryption and access point weaknesses.
The FBI isn't as stupid as it was in '97-'99; trying to pass bills mandating this into law. Instead, they are going directly to software authors with cash money (in the form of tax breaks), using hacker technique and deniability (oh, that was just a bug).
Just look at any public records from the 90's and you will see how urgantly concerned they were about their technological capability to spy on people. Don't think for a minute that they've just given up and decided to do something else. This is what they DO.
Know that the FBI doesn't inform you that you are being monitored. If you are being monitored and engague in questionable activities without caution, expect something to become of it. Don't expect that Carnivore ended with SMTP... the laws which enable Carnivore to exist also permit the FBI to monitor all TCP communication for red-flag words and phrases. Warrants are not required now to investigate someone.
This post has been read by an FBI agent.
Well. At least I won lunch.
Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!
Pretzlcoatl
Take off your tinfoil hat. The FBI can't be arsed to wade through every single internet post ever made in search of suspicious or "red-flag" words. I'm sure that because this board is so popular that there is an agent assigned to look through it occasionally, but I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Nutrimatic drinks dispenser
If you're worried about the FBI putting backdoors into your IRC client, you've got bigger problems on your hands.
Unless you're using the (rarely used) SSL feature in mIRC, everything you say is sent clear-text. You'd better worry about the people running the 30 routers between you and the other person monitoring your communication.
This is why everyone says 'don't give out personal info'- because it goes through about 100 people to get to its destination.
If you're so paranoid that you're worried about backdoors, perhaps you shouldn't be on the internet.
Guess what... people dont wad-through internet traffic.. COMPUTERS DO! And they don't complain much either. Just as routers have to read and process the headers of every packet that passes through, the FBI's machines simply read and process the bodies of every packet that passes through.
Don't let people who wear tin-foil hats, stand in the way of your vigilance for freedom. We're not talking about aliens here... we're talking about a corporate for-profit entity who earns an income by arresting and charging people for copyright violation and conspericy, among other things. We're talking about people who electronically monitor all modes of communication in the name of Homeland Security. So don't go alien bashing privacy concious individuals.
If only the FBI would IPO and allow us buy stock.

Indijski nacionalni kongres je danes ena najpomembnejših političnih strank v Indiji, kar postane po osamosvojitvi leta 1947, sicer pa je bila pred tem politična organizacija, ki so jo ustanovili leta 1885. Ob osamosvajanju Indije se je zavzela za neodvisnost, hkrati pa tudi za pravice množic. Spodbijala je temelje angleške oblasti v Indiji in sprožila zoper njo velika množična gibanja.

Zgodovinski razvoj

Džavaharlal Nehru je o Indijskem nacionalnem kongresu zapisal, da je bil ob ustanovitvi zmerna in previdna združba, ki je izjavljala zvestobo Angležem in zelo vljudno prosila nekaj malenkostnih reform. Predstavljala je bogatejšo buržoazijo, celo revnejši srednji sloji niso bili zastopani. Kongres je med drugim terjal »indijanizacijo« služb, se pravi, naj bi v državnih službah zaposlili večje število Indijcev kot Angležev.

Prvi kongres se je sešel leta 1885 v Bombaju. Med člani je bil Dadabhai Naoroji, ki je postal Veliki starec indije in je tudi prvi uporabil besedo swaraj za indijsko geslo (populariziral jo je bil Mahatma Gandi). Vpliv kongresa je bil sprva omejen, ker se je ograjeval na angleško govoreče ljudi.

wd_id is id of word
 st_id is id of sentence
if i know id of two words. i want to get list of sentences which have this words.
for example this ids is 2 and 5 then  ANSWER will be 4 and 10.
In this table will be milions of rows. So i need write query carefully!!!
here is query which i wrote:
  SELECT st_id
  FROM words
  WHERE wd_id = 5 AND st_id IN (
      SELECT st_id
      FROM words
      WHERE wd_id = 2
    )

CAN SOMEONE WRITE BETTER QUERY? OR QUERY WHICH WILL WORK for N WORDS?
AND IF I ADD INDEXES FOR wd_id AND st_id COLUMNS this query will be faster yes?
AND WHAT TYPE OF INDEXES WILL BE GOOD?

A: SELECT  st_id
FROM    words
WHERE   wd_ID IN (2, 5)
GROUP   BY st_id

Germany's China policy: Will economic interests override values?
By Zhu Ying
Professor of Economics, Shanghai Normal University
Translated by Candice Chan
Economics professor Zhu Ying notes that German Chancellor Angela Merkel holds a pragmatic approach towards China — specifically, economic interests come first. She has held on to that maxim despite questions from within and outside the government as to whether Germany should be tougher on China on matters that seem to run counter to their value system. In the face of mounting pressures in the wake of Covid-19 and developments in Hong Kong, can Merkel stay the course of balancing economic interests with values?

When China's local governments ignore Xi Jinping's instructions to demolish illegally built villas
Candice Chan - 20 January 2022
Recent media reports have highlighted the issue of villas continuing to be illegally built in the mountains of southern Jinan even as those found are demolished. Shandong and Jinan authorities have swiftly launched investigations, including taking action against party cadres who might be involved, but will their persistence last? Zaobao correspondent Yu Zeyuan reports.
India has long held dominance over South Asia, but recent developments show that the situation may be changing, says Chinese academic Guo Bingyun. China has been stepping up its engagement of the region while India has turned much of its attention on the US in its bid to counter China. In what was once its own backyard, India may have fallen too far back from leading contenders China and the US.
How China's corrupt ex-police official Sun Lijun gained clout in the CCP
The first episode of an anti-graft documentary highlighted the case of former Vice-Minister of Public Security Sun Lijun, who built a personal following in the Communist Party of China (CPC) by helping other officials with promotions, despite not being among the very top leadership himself. How did he build up his clique? Zaobao correspondent Yu Zeyuan reports.
Japan recently agreed to increase its five-year budget for hosting US troops in Japan to 1.05 trillion yen, but this is not the usual "sympathy budget" the Japanese set aside for this purpose. This time round, it has made sure that a greater proportion of the funding will go towards enhancing its Self-Defence Forces and overall Japan-US security cooperation.
China and Russia compete for influence in Central Asia
China-Russia rivalry in the Central Asian region is intensifying, with the US's departure from Afghanistan and the two countries seeking to fill the power vacuum by working within their Central Asian spheres of dominance. Can the two powers work together to foster greater regional stability or will they let their competitiveness get the better of them?
Translated by Candice Chan on 23 June 2020
A key feature of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's policy towards China is that economic interests come first. Amid deteriorating China-US relations, China-Britain relations, and even China-EU relations, how the German government responds to China has become a crucial issue. The crux of the matter is the way Merkel balances Germany's economic interests with its value system.
First and foremost, Merkel, the German government and the business sector have certainly been thinking of China in terms of its economic interests. On 28 May, German newspaper Die Welt ran an article titled "German Economy Bowing to China", noting that since China rolled out the national security law for Hong Kong, Germany's economic sector has raised few objections.
When Germany's major business associations and the large businesses themselves are asked what they think of the national security law, they usually say little, while the Federation of German Industries (Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie, BDI) says nothing at all. A spokesperson for Deutsche Bank replied, "We can only call on mainland China and Hong Kong not to escalate the situation and find a peaceful solution."
"The world must not be allowed to be divided into a Chinese and an American sphere of interest." - German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas
On 1 June, Der Spiegel reported that Merkel wanted to get closer to China. Germany takes over the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU on 1 July, and will set the tone for EU affairs in the six months after that. Although the event has been shelved recently, Merkel originally planned to hold a meeting of the leaders of the 27 countries of the EU with Chinese President Xi Jinping on 14 September in Leipzig.
Can Germany play mediator between the US and China?
In the Der Spiegel report, German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Peter Altmaier indicated that Germany is not keen on the idea of decoupling from China. He said that in this connected and globalised time, isolationist measures cannot be effective. Norbert Röttgen, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the German Bundestag, also said isolating China would go against the interests of Germany and Europe.

On 31 May, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas expressed the hope that while Germany holds the rotating EU presidency, it can mediate tensions between the US and China. "The world must not be allowed to be divided into a Chinese and an American sphere of interest," he said. Maas also called on China to safeguard Hong Kong's freedom of opinion and of assembly, but objected to resolving the Hong Kong issue by threatening China. Maas' comments objecting to global division is in line with Merkel's call not to fall back into a polarised world order.
As to the China-EU summit in Leipzig that Merkel had originally planned to hold in September, a spokesperson for Merkel said on 3 June that Europe and China had decided to cancel the summit, ostensibly due to the coronavirus. However, the German government later revealed to the media that Europe had postponed the summit due to difficulties with the agreement on bilateral investments between China and Europe.
On 11 June, during a video conference with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, Merkel underlined the importance of establishing "an ambitious investment agreement between the EU and China" and raised "the need for further steps in market access, reciprocity and equal treatment of foreign companies", according to a statement by her spokesman.
Germany is, in fact, a major beneficiary of globalisation.
The focus of the disagreement is that the EU insists on getting China to open its market; it also wants to ensure that state-subsidised, state-owned China enterprises do not distort market competition. Merkel also raised the issues of human rights as well as Hong Kong — clearly, she appears to be balancing economic interests with values. (NB: In a statement on 17 June in which they underscored their "grave concern" about the law threatening Hong Kong's rights and freedoms, the foreign ministers of the G7, including Germany, had called for China to reconsider its decision on the national security law.)

Keeping globalisation alive
Second, Merkel, the German government and its business sector are thinking of China in terms of economic interests for the sake of its economy's globalisation needs. Germany is, in fact, a major beneficiary of globalisation.
Germany is the world's third largest exporter. In 2019, Germany exported goods valued at 1,327.6 billion euros. A report released in 2015 by the German Economic Institute (Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft, IW) showed that from 1995 to 2012, industrial-added value in Germany grew 37%; in comparison, that figure was around 3% for France and 9% for the UK, and -7% for Japan over the same period.
Merkel has visited China 12 times over 14 years, and economic issues have always been key topics for these visits.
Much of the success of German industry can be attributed to globalisation. The BDI feels Germany stands at the centre of Europe's industrial production network. According to the IW report, Germany's import rate for intermediate inputs increased from 27.7% to 34.6% between 2000 and 2011; intermediate inputs include all goods and services that are needed for production, such as raw, auxiliary and operating materials. China had the largest gain in its share of the global industrial value chain at 24.4%, while the US had a share of only 20%.
Germany is still very optimistic about the China market. Merkel has visited China 12 times over 14 years, and economic issues have always been key topics for these visits. According to data from Eurostat and Germany's Federal Statistical Office (Statistisches Bundesamt, Destatis), in 2019, goods worth 205.9 billion euros were traded between Germany and China, out of which Germany's exports to China amounted to 96 billion euros, making China Germany's most important trading partner for the fourth consecutive year. As of the end of 2018, Germany's direct investments in China amounted to 86 billion euros.
(Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Norbert Röttgen) warned that if they do not hold on to basic values such as the rule of law, freedom and democracy when dealing with China, their diplomatic integrity and influence would be damaged.
One popular story has it that when Merkel is on the road in China, she pays close attention to whether there are more Mercedes-Benzes, BMWs, and Volkswagens on the road. German car companies are now doing a lot in China's alternative fuel vehicle sector. First, Daimler AG — maker of Mercedes-Benz vehicles — revealed plans to invest in Chinese electric vehicle (EV) battery maker Farasis Energy's IPO; then, Volkswagen announced plans to purchase its Chinese EV joint venture partner JAC Motors' parent company, and also become the largest shareholder in Chinese battery maker Gotion High-tech. As for BMW, its fully electric iX3 is scheduled to enter production in late summer at its plant in Shenyang, a joint venture between BMW and local partner Brilliance.

Germany willing to stand apart
Third, Merkel will not be swayed in her approach to China by criticisms. On 12 June, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) ran an interview with Röttgen, asking what Europe should do now that the image of the US is slipping in Germany, and China is expanding its influence.
Röttgen noted that in dealing with China, a systemic rival that actively promotes an alternative perspective of people and society, Germany should hold on to their belief in freedom of thought, which has been overlooked for a while. He warned that if they do not hold on to basic values such as the rule of law, freedom and democracy when dealing with China, their diplomatic integrity and influence would be damaged. Röttgen's comments actually represent Merkel's balance of economic interests with values, and show that Germany has not lost hold of its beliefs.
Germany is not the US; Germany does not insist that China democratise, nor does it seek to be a global "big brother".
In early June, Andreas Fulda, a China-Europe relations expert at the University of Nottingham, started a petition calling on the German government to change its approach of prioritising trade with China over human rights. He felt that Merkel's approach to China is almost all about Germany's economic interests, just like former Chancellors Gerhard Schröder and Helmut Kohl.
However, the fact is Germany's "change through trade" approach to China has failed, and China's economic modernisation has not brought political liberalisation and democratisation. That said, Germany is not the US; Germany does not insist that China democratise, nor does it seek to be a global "big brother". The benefits of Germany-China exchanges help Germany to prosper, so Germany does not feel that its interests are hurt by China's values.
Merkel's pragmatic China policy reflects the rationality of a determined people.
Merkel's China policy reflects the pragmatism of international relations: to gain an edge in the competition for survival, Germany has to keep growing its power and interests, which money can bring. China accepts that Western values will not bring money to Germany, despite the fact that Germany's wealth of thought and the values behind them are in fact the source of Germany's economic strength. Merkel's pragmatic China policy reflects the rationality of a determined people.

What does a brand ambassador do so that it can help accomplish your brand goals?
Generally speaking, it is the consumers themselves who decide whether they want to use your brand from the information they have obtained from their surroundings—which makes it crucial for the interaction between the business and consumers to be more horizontal.
Having known that every brand is unique and has its own messages; It is an opportunity that not only big company could grab, but it could also work for start-up companies. Therefore, the brand ambassador programme is created and hence, the message is delivered by the selected brand ambassador.
A brand ambassador is emotionally attached to the products or services' brand. Through the training they get, they are capable of informing what they have experienced with the brand and thus, how it can help others.
However, in this era, millennials are predominantly the customers. That becomes another point that we would like to add; a brand ambassador can help the millennials to have better customer experience as they build their trust through the icon of the brand they've seen. For instance, by looking at the brand ambassador shares the products or services in their personal social media accounts.
Furthermore, when the brand ambassador shares their comments about the things they use or tell their followers about the most-sophisticated thing about the brand, this makes a huge impact on the customer engagement.
Old-customers will become more attracted and fully aware of the brand, while a potential new customer might appear. This is an approach that a company website cannot do but can be easily approached through the role of a brand ambassador.
All in all, by creating a brand ambassador program, we would like to have a working relationship with special customers, specifically those who would like to be brand ambassadors and concerned about the ambassador.
Not only promoting your products, it may give the company valuable insights about their products, since millennials are popular with their critical side—always sharing both the positive and negative comments.
As a Singapore-based start-up company which has our expertise at Real-Time Communication (RTC) Technology in providing Chat SDK(Software Development Kit) for business sector, we feel the urgency to cultivate the positivity to the community, so that it may be a way to share knowledge and give a chance to share the outsiders, which include the millennial generation.
Looking at how they grow up, computers and devices have been part of their lives. Millennials are pretty much the representatives of the brand ambassador programme, since they are more high-maintenance (regarding their knowledge of technology) and aware of advertising.
Concerning this issue, we would like to contribute in a positive way. Therefore, we have Qiscus Student Ambassador, a 3-months programme made only for students, to develop students' professional capabilities.
This programme empowers students to become Qiscus Ambassadors who will represent Qiscus in the communities around them. In this programme, we are looking for university graduates with passion in tech startups and are skilled in leadership and teamwork.
What do students get for joining this programme?
Throughout the programme, students will gain numerous benefits such as hands-on experience in strategic projects, a mentoring program with Qiscus' management and many others. Students also stand a chance to get a 'golden ticket' to join the Qiscus team in Jakarta and/or Jakarta upon graduation.
