Why Scott Robertson must be brought in immediately if the All Blacks cut Ian Foster
emlakhaberpanosuJuly 20, 2022
A former Crusaders star has given his old boss Scott Robertson a vote of confidence as the All Blacks head coach role comes under scrutiny in the wake of New Zealand's loss to Ireland.
Speculation continues to swirl about the future of incumbent All Blacks boss Ian Foster after he led the national side to a historic series defeat at the hands of Ireland last weekend.
The series loss, which saw the Irish claim their first two victories in New Zealand, was the first time the All Blacks had suffered a series defeat on home shores since they were whitewashed by France across two tests in 1994.
Ardie Savea and Dane Coles speak to media after All Blacks loss to Ireland
Having now lost four of his last five tests at the helm of the All Blacks, resulting in their worst-ever World Rugby ranking of fourth, Foster faces enormous public pressure to leave his post.
That pressure was accentuated on Sunday when New Zealand Rugby [NZR] chief executive Mark Robinson issued a statement saying recent results were "not acceptable" and that the national governing body is undertaking a review into the Ireland series.
The outcome of that review is expected to be released on Wednesday, less than three weeks before the All Blacks open their Rugby Championship campaign with two tests against the Springboks in South Africa.
While many have called for Foster and his management team to go once that review has concluded, some see the time between then and the first test between the All Blacks and Springboks on August 6 as too short to make wholesale changes to New Zealand's backroom staff.
That was the view held by Sky Sport presenter Ross Karl, who suggested that incoming All Blacks selector Joe Schmidt could take over from Foster as a supervising coach for the Rugby Championship.
Speaking on the Aotearoa Rugby PodKarl said that would give Robertson – the highly-successful Crusaders boss – more preparation time to assume the head coach role ahead of the end-of-year tour.
However, former Crusaders halfback Bryn Hall said he has "no question in my mind" that Robertson would make an immediate impact on the All Blacks if he replaced Foster ahead of the Springboks tests.
"He's proven that he can do that," Hall, who won six straight Super Rugby titles under Robertson during his time at the Crusaders between 2017 and 2022, told the Aotearoa Rugby Pod.
"If you look at [ex-Crusaders head coach Todd] Blackadder, my first time when I came down, we had the talent in the five or six years that Todd was coaching, and we weren't able to get the job done.
"A year later, Razor [Robertson] comes in with selection and being able to bring those guys together, it's an experienced group we had at the time, and we were able to win a championship because he instilled things that were able to change the mindset to get the best out of his players .
"If you're going to do that decision [replace Foster with Robertson]give him as much time… if he gets given that opportunity, I've got no question in my mind that he'll be able to get the best out of his players because he's done it.
"He's done it at Crusaders level, he's done it at U20s level, and at Miter 10 Cup level.
"If there's one guy that you can do with a less amount of preparation time, I think Razor will be one guy that I feel pretty confident that he'll be able to get the job done."
Despite missing out to Foster in the race to replace Sir Steve Hansen as All Blacks head coach after the 2019 World Cup, Robertson has enjoyed a large swell of public support after his constant success with various teams.
In addition to his six Super Rugby titles, Robertson led New Zealand a World U20 Championship in 2015, and won eight NPC titles – either as a head or assistant coach – during his nine seasons with Canterbury between 2008 and 2016.
During that time, Robertson has worked alongside numerous different coaches, which Hall – who has left the Crusaders to join the Shizuoka Blue Revs in Japan – highlighted as a major strength of his former boss.
"One thing that he does really well, and he's proven, he's done it with different coaching groups within his ranks," Hall told the Aotearoa Rugby Pod.
"He's done it with Leon MacDonald, he's done it with Brad Mooar, he had Mark Jones from Wales, he's had Ronan O'Gara, Scott Hansen's there now, Andrew Goodman, so he's pretty good around the people that he brings into the environment .
"He can coach with them, and what he does really well, he understands his weaknesses, what he's not great at, and the coaches that he has there are then being able to then fill in what he's not great at.
"When you've got that kind of coaching group that collectively – I can only speak from my experience at the Crusaders – collectively the coaching group, they're all on the same page.
"When you're on the same page, giving the same messages and going in the same direction, it leads into results like we had in the last six years with the Crusaders."
In saying that, Hall said it will be vital that whoever is backed by NZR to carry out the role of All Blacks head coach – whether that be Foster, Robertson or someone else – between now and next year's World Cup receives as much support as possible .
"I think it's important for Fozzie [Foster] and the coaching group, if that's the direction they're going to go, then let's support the hell out of them and give them everything that they need to go out and win a World Cup, "he said.
"If it's not, if they feel they need to go in a different direction that's Razor and his coaching group to be able to come in and try change things, I think it's important that decision has to be made pretty quickly.
"We can't afford to do the Rugby Championship and the come to the backend of that, going into the end-of-year tour, still having these questions around having doubt.
"It's no good for Fozzie and his coaching group, and it's no good for the players to have that doubt hanging over them.
"Whether that will be the case, I'm not too sure. We'll probably find out pretty soon, but whatever direction they do go, they need to be able to support that coaching system and players. "

'Very Bad': Klopp makes shock claim about Liverpool and insists it's 'wrong' to claim the team 'gave everything'
After three wins in a row, Liverpool came crashing back down to earth on Sunday with a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace, and although losing at home is always a negative, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp believes that the defeat may be a blessing in disguise.
During his post-match press conference on Sunday, Klopp admitted that the defeat 'feels very bad', and made the following surprising statement:
"If we learn the right things, then it's very important that we lost tonight. It's good that we lost".
Klopp also continued to show why he is totally different to Brendan Rodgers when it comes to how he
"If anyone thinks we gave everything we had tonight, then it's wrong. We could do more. Maybe not running, but we needed to be more awake and to believe more".
I'm absolutely loving Klopp's realistic, down-to-earth approach to the media, which is something I repeatedly called for during Rodgers' reign.
There's no Rodgers-esque sycophancy or disingenuous fawning over the players; Klopp simply tells it like it is, and he does so in an honest, straightforward manner.
A team cannot achieve the highest standards if the players are constantly being mollycoddled, and Rodgers' obsequious brown-nosing dulled competitive edge/hunger, and created subconscious complacency, both of which conspired (IMO) to derail the club.
As for Klopp's contention that it's 'important' that Liverpool lost - I totally agree. As is always the case when Liverpool go on a good run, the players start praising each other in the media, and the defeat to Palace will (hopefully) put an end to this recent tornado of execrable ego massage.
Klopp claims that the defeat can help Liverpool to 'learn the right things', and if that's the case, then hopefully he's learned the following:
* Lallana is a waste of space. The guy is 27 years old, and he is still failing to make a consistent impact on the team. Two assists in almost 45 hours of football is not good enough, and his final pass is consistently terrible. Lallana and his overpaid cronies failed to step up last season, and the club suffered; history is repeating itself this year, so it's time for him to be relegated to the bench. In my view, Firmino and/or Teixeira should always start ahead of Lallana from this point onwards.
* Can is not good enough to be a regular midfield starter for Liverpool. Against Palace, he regularly gave the ball away, provided little penetration from the middle, and gifted the opposition a goal. This is nothing new, though; I've been highlighting the German's deficiencies all season. The problem with Can is that he thinks he's better than he actually is. He's always trying step-overs, back-heels (in stupid places), and long, sweeping crossfield passes, but most of the time, he gets it wrong. Can needs to keep it simple, but unfortunately, he's a legend in his own mind. I'd even play Allen ahead of Can at this stage.
* It's a mistake to rely on Simon Mignolet. The Belgian always has little periods of decent form during the season, but as the Palace game showed again, he cannot be relied upon over a consistent period of time. Rodgers should've ditched Mignolet at the end of the 2013-14 season, but he failed to act, and his mistakes contributed to the Reds' failure to qualify for the Champions League. If Klopp makes the mistake of relying Mignolet, then it'll be his funeral.
Mignolet, Lallana, and Can OUT; Bogdan, Firmino, and Teixeira IN.

We've become accustomed to joke candidacies in recent presidential primaries, to voters embracing hitherto obscure personalities who in more mundane elections they wouldn't trust for dog-catcher.
We've become accustomed to joke candidacies in recent presidential primaries, to voters embracing hitherto obscure personalities who in more mundane elections they wouldn't trust for dog-catcher. Herman Cain, the pizza king, represented this phenomenon (thus far confined to Republican primaries) in 2012; Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon, sometime pitchman, and self-professed born-again Christian, is the stand-in this time. Cain, as you may recall, briefly led the polls before Republican voters sobered up and nominated Mitt Romney—which, admittedly, was sobering up with a vengeance.
We've had actual joke nominees for office—Dan Quayle for Vice President in 1988; Sarah Palin for the same job in 2008. Maybe it's the office that's the joke? Quayle, of course, actually spent a term in office, and he and Palin had prior public service, if that's the word. But Cain, and now Carson, came completely out of right field. Nobody outside of the pizza and snipping businesses had ever heard of them, and they were as innocent of political experience as a baby's backside. Yet both soared to the head of the field, and Carson is still a close second to Donald Trump as I write.
You'll notice I don't mention Trump. (Interestingly, the Donald himself apparently toyed with the idea of being George H. W. Bush's running mate himself in 1988. That would have made a pair!) Trump, however, though still a political novice, is anything but obscure; self-promotion has been his entire career. Cain and Carson, in contrast, seemed to come from positively Purgatorial obscurity. They literally invented themselves before the public eye, with whatever of fact or fiction they chose to combine. Cain really did sell pizzas. In Carson's case, as we are learning day by day, fiction has been by far the preponderant element.
Like Trump, Cain and Carson are the products of a Reality TV culture. Reality TV specializes in plucking ordinary Americans out of nowhere and giving them a shot at fame and fortune, a version of the lottery where the prize is less money than face time, and, for the lucky few, an "entertainment" career of some sort. Their biography is their performance, for nothing else distinguishes them. Trump has sold his biography for decades, but then he's been the host, not the contestant, in the Reality sweepstakes. Cain had and Carson has only the song and dance of themselves, an act they were putting on for the first time before a national audience. Off-handedly, they suggested positions on this political issue or that, but what they were selling was the personality that, stop by stop, speech by speech, they invented for us.
Both Cain and Carson are, of course, African Americans, and that has been critical to their success, particularly with conservative white audiences. The reason for this has been suggested: they signify not a mysterious transcendence of the race factor in American politics among conservatives, but a backhanded repudiation of Barack Obama. Without mentioning Obama, Cain and Carson opposed everything the first African American president was held to stand for, and Carson, as a physician, has particularly delighted audiences by denouncing Obamacare, the President's so-called signature achievement. It's an old trick: every stigmatized social group is presumed, at least publicly, to have exceptions—"good" Jews who don't care about money, "good" blacks who aren't violent. Their function is not to disprove the negative stereotype, but to confirm it. In the end, the exception vanishes; the stereotype remains, stronger than ever.
We have come to see of late just how careless or indifferent Carson is about "Ben Carson," the persona he has created for himself. There is, for example, the howler about his having been offered a scholarship to West Point (embroidered with a tale about sitting down with the late general William Westmoreland, of Vietnam fame). The problem with the story is that West Point doesn't offer scholarships; it is tuition-free for all cadets. This means that Carson could not have misremembered his application; he could never have made it. Most people who lie try to be credible, at least for awhile; Ben Carson wanted to be exposed, because the people who had bought into his persona were not going to blame him for fibbing or even hallucinating, but the media for persecuting him. And this, up to now, has been the result.
Carson has similarly told us of late of a violent youth in which he had even threatened his mother with bodily harm. This, too, is deeply puzzling on the surface, because Carson's appeal, when he began to catch on, came from a soft-spokenness and calmness of demeanor almost uncanny in a would-be politician. The contrast with the bombastic Trump was obvious and intentional, but it touched a deeper chord as well, for the stereotypic African American is not only violent but loud: once again, Carson was portraying himself as the exception to the rule. Yet, having carefully cultivated this image for months, he then set out to contradict it: the original Carson, as it turned out, was every bit as violent, as filled with rage, as the stereotype would have him.
The moral of Carson's story was, of course, that he had been born again through Evangelical Christianity, and thus saved from himself. In short, he was a black man who had become something other than black; who confirmed the stereotype of the violent African American while exempting himself from it. Whites, particularly Evangelical whites, could thus forgive the sinner who had repudiated the greatest sin of all: that of being black.
It is hard to imagine Carson keeping up this high-wire act for long, and he seems already to have peaked. His "campaign"—which at this point has apparently devolved into a lucrative book tour—never seems to have been much more than an attempt to turn a quick buck. Nor would it be of much interest, except for what it tells us about the state of our democracy, A.D. 2015. Yes, it has exposed, and exploited, a deep-seated racism, one that suggests that the election of Barack Obama in 2008 was not the watershed event in our national life so many hoped it would be, but a signal for the huge racial backlash that has engulfed the waning days of his administration. But there's more to it than that.
Absurdist candidates such as Carson and Trump gain support, at least in Republican quarters, not despite their lack of personal or political credibility, but because of it. The more their unfitness is exposed, the more tenaciously their core supporters rally around them. This has nothing to do with who these candidates really are—respectively, a huckster and a blowhard—but what their personas represent. To call them outsider or anti-establishment figures tells us nothing. They are the negations of a political process that increasing numbers of people feel has failed them, or more pointedly, that exploits and dumps them, exporting their jobs, bilking their pensions, ridiculing their hopes and values, and above all making mock of the idea that they can have any say over their own destinies. Democracy itself, for them, is the real cheat; their disempowerment by the government, the faceless bureaucracies, and the corporate and financial elites that rule them, is complete. Their country has been stolen out from under them, and they are beleaguered strangers in it.
Some of this has to do with the shrinking (or mythical?) middle class, and some of it with the shrinking proportion of whites in the population. But it is a reality-based experience. It is a fact, not an illusion, that a union-based manufacturing economy has been replaced by an unsecured service one; that wealth has been extracted at alarming rates from the toil of the many by a small ownership elite; and that the two political parties, once in office, operate as one. It is not only useful but necessary to say that Barack Obama, elected as the candidate of change, has been Wall Street's obedient servant for seven years, from the bank bailouts to the Trans-Pacific trade partnership, and that Obamacare itself has simply dumped the care of the poor on the backs of the middle class in the interest of for-profit medical monopolies. Yeah. A fabulating doctor sued six times for malpractice and a billionaire casino mogul are a poor way to express them, but the grievances are real, and deep.
What Carson and Trump thus express is a hunger for a leader completely outside the existing system, one not bound by constitutional rules or niceties. This is not a novel situation. Long ago, when the city-states of ancient Greece fell into strife over class inequities, they had resort to an outside figure who was given plenary powers by which everyone would be bound. Such a figure was called a tyrannos, which we translate as "tyrant." The tyrants of old were not baneful figures, but, it was hoped, impartial arbiters who would restore peace and justice, and, thanked for their labors, would then depart. Sometimes, the system worked; but the gradual connotation that tyranny gained—of arbitrary power used for hateful and despotic ends—was the fruit of bitter experience. More and more people have become willing to take the gamble, though, and that is what Carson and Trump finally represent. They are comic figures, yes, and Trump in particular is a poor imitation of Mussolini. But don't make the mistake of laughing them off.

East End MP responds to Government's Welfare Reform proposals
East End Scottish National Party MP, John Mason, has warned that the welfare reforms outlined by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions risk demonising and punishing the unemployed.
Commenting after the launch of the Welfare Reform White Paper, Mr Mason said:
"Reforms must be about helping and encouraging people back into work, not demonising and punishing the unemployed.
"The fact is that a huge amount has changed since the Welfare Reform proposals were first mooted in July, and now any reforms must reflect the changed economic climate.
"With dole queues getting longer every day, the focus should be on stimulating the economy and creating new jobs and opportunities.
"While we will look cautiously and constructively at the wider proposals, half-baked and draconian reforms are not the answer."
Commenting on reports that Glasgow is to be one of five pilot areas for the new approach outlined in the White Paper Mr Mason, who represents Glasgow East, added:
"I want to see the detail of this pilot project, and still need to be convinced that the UK Government's proposals will be a helping hand rather than a heavy hand.
"What would not acceptable is to pile pressure and sanctions on very vulnerable people who are genuinely incapacitated. That will cause fear for many who are living on low incomes."


Sports therapy and massage are critical for athletes to keep their muscles feeling good and training at their peak. A massage a week during the peak of training is best. Otherwise, frequency and duration of sessions depend on how often the athlete is training and what their goals are. A first time marathoner whose goal is to "just finish" needs a different frequency and focus of massage than a Triathlete whose goal is win podium in their age group. Whether it's a weekend warrior or professional athlete, the human body has the same muscles and they work in the same way. It's the sports massage therapists' job to take into account muscle soreness, adhesions and injury to find which massage techniques are most beneficial for each individual athlete.
Adhesions and scar tissues sometimes form on soft tissues and affect muscle integrity and range of motion. As these unresolved, seemingly minor aches and pains continue to be stressed by exertion, more significant injuries occur. This leads to chronic pain and degeneration in the body's soft tissues, or bones. Adhesions are unhealed tissues that often adhere or stick together. They may also become glued onto ligaments, other tissues, or bones. If adhesions are not properly treated they can become chronic and form an immobile scar that permanently reduces range of motion.
Unresolved scar tissues embedded in key postural muscles produces a myofascial drag on the body, wastes enormous energy, and often results in mediocre performance. When this happens the stage is set for frequent recurrence of injury.
Athletes come in a wide range of categories, from the weekend warrior to the professional, and as massage therapists we recommend treatment depending on each athlete's goal, current level of training and whether there is a current injury. More often than not athletes don't think about adding sports massage therapy to their training unless they become injured or some part of their body is hurting. There are many reasons why integrating sports massage is important before the athlete feels pain.
Active people's muscles get sore, and this inhibits activity and performance. There are many theories regarding muscle soreness, but one of the most commonly accepted is that of microscopic tearing in connective tissues as a result of repeated demands on a particular part of the body. These repetitive stresses and contractions can lead to tearing, cellular inflammation, and pain as the muscles shorten, splint, and bind together in a protective reaction. If someone continues to work through the soreness under the "no pain, no gain" motto, they are setting themselves up for further injury and breakdown.
When injuries do happen, one of the most common cause of the physical breakdown is the "too much, too soon" syndrome. When this happens too much was asked of the body too soon. For instance, a runner who increases his training schedule from 10 to 22 miles during the period of a week will likely incur a series of overuse symptoms such as burnout, fatigue, unresolved aches and pains, and slight tearing of connective tissues. Other factors that contribute to sport related injuries include muscle imbalance, inadequate warm-up, poor flexibility, mineral deficiency, structural abnormality, lack of endurance, and reoccurrence of previous injuries.

Q: having trouble converting string to float and adding from list (python) I'm trying to convert this list of numbers (that are strings) into floats so I can do an analysis with them. However, I receive an error when trying to convert them to float.
This is the list:
temp_gallons = ['404,443.60 ', '367,223.12 ', '388,369.08 ', '352,472.56 ', '386,618.76 ', '333,929.64 ', '326,868.52 ', '257,663.56 ', '0.00 ', '0.00 ', '0.00 ', '0.00 ', '2,817,589 ']
This is the for loop iteration for adding them while temporarily converting them into a float:
Q1_Gallons = 0.0
for i in range(0,2):
  Q1_Gallons = Q1_Gallons + float(temp_gallons[i])

I figured the reason was because there is a white space at the end of each number. So I tried stripping the values using a for loop iteration:
for i in temp_gallons:
  i.strip(" ")

However, the list remains the same after the strip and I still cannot convert the string to float and/or add the numbers.
Just for context: these are values for each month and I am making a quarterly savings analysis adding the values for the first three months, next three, and so forth.

A: The reason is not the trailing spaces but the , in between.
You have to remove the , from the strings and then convert to float.
Here's how to do it.
temp_gallons = ['404,443.60 ', '367,223.12 ', '388,369.08 ', '352,472.56 ', '386,618.76 ', '333,929.64 ', '326,868.52 ', '257,663.56 ', '0.00 ', '0.00 ', '0.00 ', '0.00 ', '2,817,589 ']

temp_gallons = [float(x.replace(',', '')) for x in temp_gallons]
print(temp_gallons)

[404443.6, 367223.12, 388369.08, 352472.56, 386618.76, 333929.64, 326868.52, 257663.56, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 2817589.0]

A: Firstly, you are getting errors because there is a comma in the string.
Float cant convert a comma into a floating number. Secondly, the space is not a problem. Suppose you have two strings S1 = '123.00 '(there is a space), S2 = '12,324324' (there is a comma) . You can use float() to convert S1 to a float but can't use float() on S2 because there is a "," there. You have to remove it first.
Check the code:
temp_gallons = ['404,443.60 ', '367,223.12 ', '388,369.08 ', '352,472.56 ', '386,618.76 ',
                '333,929.64 ', '326,868.52 ', '257,663.56 ', '0.00 ', '0.00 ', '0.00 ', '0.00 ', '2,817,589 ']

temp_gallons_float = []

for i in temp_gallons:
    i = i.replace(',', '')
    i = float(i)
    temp_gallons_float.append(i)

print(temp_gallons_float)

# for adding

Q1_Gallons = 0.0

for i in temp_gallons_float:
    Q1_Gallons += i

print(Q1_Gallons)

Regional Training on Intercultural Citizenship Education (Aug 28-31)
This 4-day training is addressed to a maximum of 25 educators in the formal and non-formal education sector in Euro-Mediterranean region. The training will be based on the capacity building methodology on intercultural dialogue developed by a team of experts coordinated by the Anna Lindh Foundation using as main educational reference the Anna Lindh Foundation Education Handbook on Intercultural Citizenship in the Euro-Med region and including the presentation of intercultural citizenship education concepts, interactive learning and testing activities on the competences and notions presented and exchange of educational practices among the participants.
The Handbook is conceived as a tool to provide knowledge and skills for teaching and learning about values of dialogue, pluralism, respect, social participation and social cohesion which can enhance the role of the "EuroMed Intercultural Citizen" as an agent of change within multi-cultural societies. The Handbook provides an overview about key concepts related to intercultural citizenship education with a clear focus on the Euro-Mediterranean region and presents case stories and concrete activities to be developed in the formal and non-formal education sectors. On the basis of this resource, the ALF is putting in place a capacity-building programme on Intercultural Citizenship Education for the creation of a pool of multipliers trained in the use of the Anna Lindh Foundation Education Handbook on Intercultural Citizenship and committed to the organization of educational activities and dissemination of the resource.
The Training will be held in Tieteiden talo (House of Science and Letters; Kirkkokatu 6, Helsinki).

Mr. Jared Elkins is President & CEO of Alitheia Holdings. Born marching to the beat of his own drum and hailing from Dallas TX, Mr. Elkins is a natural entrepreneur with a passion for the web. His career started as an early adopter of the Internet working part-time in web development and SEO in 1996. In '99 he went full-time and started working in data; backed by his personal studies of psychology and human behavior, he took the full plunge into everything Internet. In the mid-2000's, his work led him to design his first user data driven AI which ultimately became Sylvanus AI more than a decade later.
In 2011, Mr. Elkins moved into data hygiene and then found cryptocurrency marking a key turning point in his career and life. His natural drive for industry and market solutions inspired him to start a gold-backed coin in 2012 with the idea of creating the first "real" cryptocurrency as seen by the securities world, but it was ultimately nixed by legal counsel as premature, out of bounds of existing law, guidance, and the Department of Treasury in general. Needing to understand this rejection of what seemed to be such a complete solution, Mr. Elkins dove deep into investigating the Securities laws, case law, markets, and players involved concluding that perhaps the world just wasn't quite ready. So he continued with AI, data, and internet work ultimately perfecting his AI, which is modeled after the human hippocampus.
In 2015, Mr. Elkins started investing in cryptocurrency and recognized the massive potential for blockchain to operate and influence both his work and multiple industries, but it just wasn't materializing. In 2017, he merged his decades of tech expertise, with deep behavioral understanding, to focus his energy, intent, and efforts to create a global market changing movement to better humanity through ultimate transparency and truth.
Over the first nine months of 2018, Mr. Elkins worked tirelessly to design, build, and implement a hedge fund, blockchain, and cryptocurrency unlike any other. This massive project needed to include the highest standard of fiduciary and the most transparent transactional process (borderless; commodity agnostic; asset agnostic; currency agnostic; recorded on the blockchain). His efforts resulted in investors holding a coin that earned interest as well as a variable rate of return based on fund performance, hedge fund sector performance, and project performance. Built in Ethereum, with hard-coded smart contracts that are governed by ratified bylaws; strict adherence to the rules, regulations, and laws governing the US Securities Markets; requiring five keys to "turn" in every investment the fund makes (only in declared sectors), all platform functionality is focused on improving the Human Condition. For this reason, he chose Alitheia as the name for the project and his company, for its derivative meaning of "Truth" in Greek.
Creating a fair and just balance, the Alitheia Fund fills the missing components, answers the pending repetitive questions, and provides a complete solution to the blockchain community. The Alitheia Ethos: "Our mission is to decentralize commerce, currency and communication, based on truth and transparency."

Ms. Tuba Terekli started her business career as an entrepreneur at the age of 14. She later moved on to a teaching career for years in private schools, and at home, while finishing college. She utilized her self-taught business skills to get recruited into Saudi Aramco's core business in 2003 and became exposed to the dynamics of international business. This was the true catalyst whereby her life's aim was to become an international executive.
Her learning propelled her to the first international hospital commissioning in Saudi Arabia when International Medical Center was partnering with Cleveland Clinic. She served as a founding team member in the marketing and hospitality departments as director. She had additional training in Ohio and then attended the launch of the Abu Dhabi Cleveland Clinic when it was first announced by Dr. Cosgrove, the then CEO.
Later she moved her commissioning knowledge to become the Chief Strategist for the first healthcare real-estate development firm. Subsequently, she was appointed as project manager of the first long-term care facility in Saudi Arabia, as well as the first healthcare hotel project.
Through her knowledge about commissioning and wanting to be at the point and time where innovation is taking place, cemented her passion to pursue entrepreneurship. As a result, she became a key supporter of the Saudi Fast Growth 100 initiative (Now Arabia 500), and decided to become the entrepreneur that supports people to become entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia.
That led to a short career path at NCB which led to exploring entrepreneurship in many different regions of KSA. Meeting with Dr. Ghassan AlSulaiman, and together in a partnership, they formed Qotuf. It became the first entrepreneurship foundation from the private sector in Saudi Arabia. As its main founder and CEO, Ms. Terekli built the first tech accelerator of Saudi Arabia Flat6LabJeddah; the first tech investors network; and the first tech mentors network which, to date, has incubated 43 tech companies, of which over 60% have received post investments.
These opportunities generated many country-wide initiatives working with ministers, heads of chambers, deans of universities/colleges, and venture capital houses to build a local ecosystem that meets the expectations and needs of Saudi entrepreneurs, as the Co-Founder and CEO of Qotuf. By holding local and international events, Ms. Terekli became the host of Global Entrepreneurship week which has linked 173 countries with entrepreneurs of all ages, backgrounds and industries, ultimately mentoring and supporting them by matchmaking with angel investors. As a result, many international agreements have been signed.
Ms. Terekli is currently serving the role of World Business Angels Forum, Saudi Arabia High Commissioner; Advisor to Sh. Tarek Abdulrahman Fakieh; Advisor to the Governor of SME authority Saudi Arabia; BOD member for SEDCO investments; and, partner/investor/mentor in various startups globally.

In order to understand your local media, you need to be aware of what a difference it can make to the success or indeed failure of your restaurant.
Just because the national media is awash with people talking about social networking as though local media doesn't exist anymore, it is imperative that you appreciate that not only can local media give you incredible PR, but it can also act as a 'word of mouth' referee for your restaurant.
Give Them Something to Write About!
Never forget that local press and magazines are always looking for something to write about. Not any old thing (although you may beg to differ depending on the quality of your local paper!) but good news stories are always able to placed if you have the right message and, ideally, the right contacts.
It's not hard to build contacts with your local newspaper, although it does take some effort. Start by having an idea of a story – your restaurant opening, a new menu, a new terrace, a competition for children…- and then buy a copy of your local paper to check out the contacts list. Start by calling the features editor and take it from there.
It makes sense that if you continue to give your local newspaper something to write about, they'll keep writing about your restaurant. That is why you will often see then same businesses, societies or clubs mentioned in your local paper – they've bothered to foster contacts and they tell them when there is something going on. Offering to provide a good quality photograph often helps too.
So when you have a new promotion or offer, tell your contact about it. Be careful not to just look like you're using them and give something back too – try getting involved with local events, offering your restaurant as a meeting place for clubs or championing using local ingredients rather than only ever talking about your menu!
Whether it's bloggers that you meet on Twitter or the local restaurant critic, getting people who are influential to write about your restaurant is worth its weight in gold. Of course, you need to make sure that there review is good, so only invite reviewers when you know you have ironed out any 'new restaurant glitches' or it could do you more harm than good.
If your local press has anonymous reviewers, watch out for people who order quite a random cross-section for the menu and then either have a notebook or look to be typing on their phone throughout the course of the meal. Although you're sure to want to make sure all your customers have a wonderful experience, there's nothing wrong with being extra careful!
Most newspapers and media have contacts mailing lists where they will send out emails if a certain type of story is required. It's a great idea to get onto these lists so that you can put yourself and your restaurant forward whenever possible. Join them by asking to join them! Whenever you have a reason to speak to a media person (or if you have a thick skin, just call them up) ask to join their mailing list so you don't miss out on any opportunities. They won't mind and it will help you to 'see and be seen'.
