It is one thing to go to the indoor range and fire off a few magazines. Quite another to shoot while being fired upon.
What do you think of this outdoor range that simulates combat using pyrotechnics and bottle rockets?
Now you can shoot, and be shot at, improving your ability to perform under fire, without taking a bullet. A good idea?

HOW THE USA MEDDLING IN THE ASIA PACIFIC REGION
Washington only focus on military-strategic superiority rather than mutual respect and consideration of the interests of the parties
by Adenan Mohd. Noor
in Dunia, Khas
Dear colleagues!
The current situation in the world is characterized by a transition from a unipolar world, where the United States is the hegemon, to a multipolar building of international relations. At the same time, there is a reconfiguration of military interaction between states, a change in the nature of combat training and military-technical cooperation.
Geopolitical changes have a direct impact on:
The situation in the Asia-Pacific region, which has been declared a sphere of NATO's priority interests. At the same time, the formation of new military alliances, provocative actions are carried out.
Such actions is the preservation of American dominance, the construction of a world order based on the rules defined in Washington.
The practical activities of the United States are carried out according to the concept of an "open and free Indo-Pacific region", within which the methods of forceful pressure, tested in the Euro-Atlantic region, are used and focused on confrontation with the People's Republic of China. The White House seeks to destroy the mechanism of the ASEAN dialogue, to achieve the division of the common security space of the Asia-Pacific region.
The United States is actively involving NATO states in military confrontation in the Asia-Pacific region. Purposefully exacerbate existing problems, create an atmosphere of mutual distrust. Territorial disputes in the South China and East China Seas, differences of opinion and other problematic issues are considered from the point of view of power confrontation. Washington is seeking to legally secure the global expansion of its area of responsibility for the bloc.
NATO forces are actively involved in American exercises in the Asia-Pacific region. Thus, in the second half of 2021, ships of the German naval forces began to carry out combat duty on a rotational basis in the waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans. The British fleet, by analogy with the provocation of the destroyer URO 'Defender' on June 23, 2021 in the region of the Crimean peninsula, is carrying out similar actions against China in the Taiwan Strait.
The creation of the AUKUS, which opened for Australia access to nuclear military technologies, forms the conditions for Canberra to join the "nuclear club", which will lead to a change in the strategic balance not only in the Asia-Pacific region, but in the world as a whole, and will also become a prerequisite for undermining the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
A negative factor that destabilizes the situation in the Asia-Pacific region is the Pentagon's accelerated build-up of the national armed forces, which number about 400,000 people. Its strike potential is increasing, the possibility of deploying medium-range ballistic missiles on the territory of Asian states, primarily in Japan, is being worked out. The scope and intensity of the operational and combat training of the armed forces of the United States and its allies in the region are growing.
Under the pretext of exchanging military technology and intelligence information, the United States has actually begun to implement long-term plans to strengthen control over the Western Pacific. At the same time, the undeclared goals of such plans are to build up the capabilities of the United States and its allies in the accelerated deployment of combat military formations in the aggravation of the regional military-political situation.
Destructive policy of the West testifies to the desire to maintain dominance in the Asia-Pacific region based on military force, which creates long-term hotbeds of tension.
At the same time, Washington is actively building up the Pacific segment of the global missile defense system. In turn, Tokyo is rapidly building a national missile defense system to complement the US global missile defense system.
The implementation of these plans by the United States leads to destabilization of the situation, escalation of tension in the Asia-Pacific region, and also provokes the improvement and build-up of the missile potential of other states. As a result, all this leads to an arms race.
Today the situation is further complicated by the fact that after the US withdrew from the Russian-American Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles, any restrictions on the creation and deployment of missiles of this class, including in the Asia-Pacific region, have been removed.
The Pentagon intends to deploy two promising "multi-sphere" brigades in the Western Pacific by 2028, which will be capable of conducting cyber operations and equipped with long-range precision weapons, including hypersonic missiles with a range of up to 5,500 kilometers. They will be able to defeat especially important objects in the Far East, which creates a threat to the military security of the Russian Federation. An airfield and warehouses for storing nuclear weapons in the area of the Japanese island of Io are considered as a possible base for the medium-range missiles being created.
The next aspect to pay attention to is the "Taiwan issue".
The United States is using the "Taiwan factor" not only to increase pressure on China, but also as a factor for fragmenting the region, dividing it into 'us' and 'them'.
For this purpose, in 2016-2021, military products worth $18.3 billion were transferred to Taiwan.
The US National Guard and Taiwanese reserve troops are conducting joint training. The military formations of the island took part in the international naval exercise "Rimpak-2022".
Further rapprochement between Washington and Taiwan in the short term may lead to an even greater escalation of the situation in the Taiwan Strait, including due to the build-up of "information tension" around China, attempts to create conditions for the political and economic isolation of China . Same steps have already been taken in Europe. They did not add stability to the region.
The Korean Peninsula remains a source of military danger in the Asia-Pacific region.
A factor in the escalation of tension is the policy of Washington, which maintains a state of "managed" crisis on the peninsula in order to justify the need to expand its military presence in the Republic of Korea and Japan, and further militarize Northeast Asia. In fact, these measures also serve to solve the problem of containing Russia and China.
Sanctions and forceful pressure on Pyongyang provokes the leadership of the DPRK to the need to take new measures to strengthen the country's defense.
Along with this, another global threat in the region is terrorism.
The urgency of this problem is due to the significant number of extremist organizations operating in this region of the world, primarily in Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, the Philippines and China, about 60 of which are recognized as terrorist.
The most numerous and active structures are the East Turkestan Islamic Movement in China, Jamaa Islamiyya in Indonesia, and Abu Sayyaf in the Philippines.
The forms of their activity in the region to achieve the proclaimed goals are the use of force and the desire to establish strong ties with international terrorist groups.
In the short term, the level of terrorist threat in the Asia-Pacific region will remain high. At the same time, the expansion of the scale of activities of extremist groups creates real prerequisites for aggravating the situation.
In order to resolve existing problems and normalize interstate relations in the region, multilateral organizations and forums are successfully functioning: the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the Forum for Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, the Regional Forum of the Association of States of the Asia-Pacific Region for Security and others.
Cooperation in these formats contributes to the strengthening of confidence-building measures between the states of the region and greatly simplifies the search for compromise solutions to contentious issues.
In order to find ways to solve the security problems existing in the region between the defense departments of the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, the Russian Ministry of Defense is actively working to develop military cooperation both in bilateral and multilateral formats.
Close military cooperation has been established with China, India, Vietnam, Myanmar, Mongolia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia and other countries. The main areas of joint work are military-technical cooperation, humanitarian demining, the fight against terrorism, and maritime security.
In addition, we regularly hold joint operational and combat training events in order to exchange experience and strengthen the combat commonwealth.
Russian-Chinese maritime and air patrols in the region, exercises and trainings have become the practical implementation of the strategic partnership with China. The purpose of these measures is to increase the level of combat coherence of the troops (forces) of the two countries and the ability to jointly counter new challenges and threats. This cooperation is a reaction to the aggressive US military buildup in the Asia-Pacific region. At the same time, we are not going to create new dividing lines in the region following Washington's example. We conduct exercises in strict accordance with international law.
The priority today is the work to prevent dangerous incidents in the air and at sea in the course of military activities. An honest, mutually respectful dialogue is needed to build an architecture of equal and indivisible security in the region. As an example, here we can cite the agreements between the Russian Federation and the DPRK, the Republic of Korea on the prevention of dangerous military activities and the direct communication lines operating on the basis of these agreements.
On the territory of Russia, strategic command and staff exercises are held annually. In early September, the Vostok-2022 maneuvers will be held, military contingents and observers from more than 25 countries of the world, including the Asia-Pacific countries, will take part in it. The purpose of these maneuvers is to increase compatibility and the level of interaction in the course of solving joint tasks by coalition groupings of troops (forces) to maintain peace, protect interests and ensure military security, as well as to test the level of preparedness of military command and control bodies when organizing joint ground operations and aviation groupings, groupings of the Navy and naval forces of foreign states in the Far Eastern maritime zone. Actions will be worked out to control troops (forces) in the course of repelling air strikes, to deliver concentrated (massed) fire strikes, to conduct defensive and offensive operations in the interests of defeating land, aircraft carrier and ship strike groups (groupings) of the opponent.
As part of the multilateral dialogue in the military sphere, the Russian Ministry of Defense participates in the SMOA-plus mechanism. Under the co-chairmanship of Russia and Myanmar, in July 2022, a meeting of the CMAA-plus expert working group on countering terrorism was successfully held in Moscow. There was a thorough exchange of views on this important topic. We thank everyone who took part in it.
It is necessary to use the huge potential of bilateral and multilateral contacts to form an architecture of indivisible security in the Asia-Pacific region, excluding the dominant influence on the situation of individual states and military blocs.
Given the above, we can conclude that the development of the global military-political situation will continue to aggravate the situation, the use of 'hybrid' actions to achieve their goals.
Washington's focus on military-strategic superiority in the Asia-Pacific region, the confrontational policy towards Russia and China, as well as the US's unwillingness to abandon sanctions measures in favor of flexible options for resolving problematic situations, as in the case of the DPRK, will contribute to the growth of the crisis potential in the Asia-Pacific region and in other regions of the world.
The only effective means of ensuring security in the region is a dialogue based on mutual respect and consideration of the interests of the parties. There is no other way to build confidence, prevent dangerous incidents, and generally ensure stability in the Asia-Pacific region.
Dear colleagues! We are open for cooperation with all countries of the region. We stand for the practical orientation of such cooperation on the basis of mutual trust and transparency.
Thank you for attention!

Securities News: Citigroup to Pay $12M Over Alleged Dark Pool Misrepresentations, SEC Issues Nearly $4M Whistleblower Award, Ex-Bankrate CEO Who Pleaded Guilty to Fraud Gets 10 Years in Prison
September 28, 2018 Citigroup, Financial Firms, SEC Enforcement, Whistleblowersccollins
Citigroup Must Pay Over $12M Over Dark Pool Allegations
To settle Securities and Exchange Commission that it misled users of a dark pool run by an affiliate, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (CGMI) and the affiliate, Citi Order Routing and Execution (CORE), will pay $12M. The regulator contends that Citigroup (C) misled users when it told them that high-frequency traders were prohibited from trading in Citi Match, despite the fact that two of the dark pool's most active users qualified as high-frequency traders. These traders had executed over $9B in orders.
Dark pools are private securities exchange that allows investors, usually big financial institutions, to make anonymous trades. Members of the investing public cannot trade in dark pools. High-frequency trading typically involves the use of supercomputers, usually by financial firms, to make trades within microseconds.
Citi Match had been touted as a "premium" and "exclusive" venue for trading that charged a high commission rate for executions and only accepted certain kinds of market participants. CGMI stated in marketing materials that there were no high-frequency traders allowed in the dark pool. Their lack of involvement was important for many market participants, especially institutional firms that didn't want to trade against them.
The SEC also found that Citigroup did not disclose that for more than two years, nearly half of Citi Match orders were redirected and executed in dark pools and exchanges other than Citi Match. Confirmation messages sent to traders, however, noted that these orders took place on Citi Match.
Citigroup and CORE are settling the SEC's charges but without denying or admitting to them. Citigroup will pay disgorgement plus prejudgment interest of almost $5.5M and a $6.5M penalty. Core's penalty is $1M.
Former Bankrate CEO is Sentenced in $25M Fraud
A federal judge has sentenced Edward J. DiMaria, the ex-CFO of Bankrate Inc., to 10 years in prison. DiMaria had pleaded guilty to securities fraud and other criminal charges related to a $25M fraud in June. The judge is also ordering him to pay $21.2M in restitution and serve three years of supervised release.
DiMaria was accused of cooking the books of the publicly traded financial services and marketing company between 2011 and 2014. His actions allegedly caused millions of dollars of expense accruals to be left on balance sheets that could be revised later during quarters when earnings were slim. According to prosecutors, DiMaria attempted to conceal his actions through false statements submitted to the SEC and lies told to independent auditors.
As a result, at least 10 victims collectively sustained over $25M in financial losses.
Bankrate has since agreed to pay the SEC a $15M fine related to DiMaria's accounting practices. The Ex-CFO settled the regulator's charges against him last year. He agreed to pay approximately $231K in disgorgement, interest, and civil penalties.
SEC Awards Nearly $4M to Overseas Whistleblower
The SEC announced that it is awarding nearly $4M to an overseas whistleblower for providing the tip and "extensive assistance" that led to successful enforcement action. This latest whistleblower award is the fourth one that the regulator has announced this month alone, upping its total of whistleblower awards to more than $326M awards to 59 people since 2012. The awards stem from the over $1.7M in monetary sanctions wrongdoers have been ordered to pay because these individuals came forward with their unique and essential tips.
Individuals who provide "unique, timely, and credible information" resulting in a successful enforcement action that imposes sanctions of over $1M may be eligible to receive 10-30% of the money collected in a case.
Our securities fraud firm represents institutional investors, high net individual investors, and retail investors seeking to recover their losses. Contact Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas, LLP today.

comment, our-say,
OUR city today would be unrecognisable to the people of 50 years ago. The world around us is always changing from week to week. Workplace loyalty is seen as a bit of a relic and even huge corporations have trouble sticking to their guns on decisions about things as mundane as the provision of plastic shopping bags. Sticking at something has become an art of its own. Distractions are boundless and restrictions on our time seem equally limitless. If you have a mobile phone in your pocket and internet access, you're always on the clock because you're always reachable. When you ask venerated volunteers why the art of giving time has become less practiced than ever, they'll often point to more demands on our time from employment. But there's a melange of other supposed expectations, including the thoroughly necessary curation of various social media profiles. This weekend, the Rural Fire Service paid homage to 19 locals who have clocked-up a collective 402 years in volunteering time. Time given away to help someone else. It wasn't given away for the expectation of payment or the hope of tangible love tallied in the form of Facebook or Instagram engagement. It was given to provide relief and succour for someone else. The RFS in the Tamworth district accounts for about 1200 volunteers. But the lack of people willing to give time is a common story for many organisations. In an era where people are spending more time at work, but less with employers, more time on social media, but less with friends, the reluctance to put time into helping points to a level of selfishness. While people will happily boast about a dollar spared for a charity cause, it's only putting a price on your pride under the guise of generosity.

The Grantham Prize was an annual journalism award awarded between September 2005 and October 2012. It was established by Jeremy Grantham and Hannelore Grantham and the Metcalf Institute for Marine and Environmental Reporting to annually recognize the work of one journalist or a team of journalists for exemplary reporting on the environment.

"The public deserves ready access to the kind of information and news that only outstanding independent journalism can provide," the Granthams said in announcing the prize. They say they want their annual award of $75,000 to "give that kind of reporting the honor, respect, and visibility it needs."

The purpose of the Prize was to encourage outstanding coverage of the environment, to recognize reporting that has the potential to bring about constructive change, and to broadly disseminate the Prize-winning story to increase public awareness and understanding of issues focusing on the environment.

The prize was awarded annually to non-fiction made available to a general audience in the United States or Canada during the previous calendar year in newspapers, magazines, books, television, cable, radio, or online.

Among the criteria jurors consider are the significance of the subject matter, quality and originality of the journalism, and the effort involved in telling the story. The Grantham Prize entries was judged by an independent panel of jurors, chaired by David Boardman, Seattle Times. Other journalists on the jury included Robert B.

Q: Get custom attribute value for countdown timer (timer shows NaN) Can't assign the end date to the variable for the timer to work. As a result, I get NaN
Can you please tell me what is the mistake?

var countDownDate = new Date($("countdown").data("datetime")).getTime();

function ctd() {
  var now = new Date().getTime();
  var distance = countDownDate - now;
  var days = Math.floor(distance / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
  var hours = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60));
  var minutes = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60)) / (1000 * 60));
  var seconds = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60)) / 1000);
  countdown = document.getElementsByClassName("countdown");
  countdown[0].innerHTML = days + "d " + hours + "h " + minutes + "m " + seconds + "s ";
  if (distance < 0) {
    clearInterval(x);
    countdown.innerHTML = "Item expired!";
  }
}
ctd();
var x = setInterval(ctd, 1000);

<time class="countdown" datetime="2020-11-22T16:20:22+00:00"></time>

A: You need to use .countdown to get a class. You were missing the dot (.)
Also you should use attr or prop and not data. You can use data if you change your html property to data-datetime.
When in doubt, always console.log(countDownDate) to see what you get first.

var countDownDate = new Date($(".countdown").attr("datetime"));

function ctd() {
  var now = new Date().getTime();
  var distance = countDownDate - now;
  var days = Math.floor(distance / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
  var hours = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60));
  var minutes = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60)) / (1000 * 60));
  var seconds = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60)) / 1000);
  countdown = document.getElementsByClassName("countdown");
  countdown[0].innerHTML = days + "d " + hours + "h " + minutes + "m " + seconds + "s ";
  if (distance < 0) {
    clearInterval(x);
    countdown.innerHTML = "Item expired!";
  }
}

<time class="countdown" datetime="2020-11-22T16:20:22+00:00"></time>

A: You repeat some of the time calculations every second, better use some const instead:

const eCountDown = document.querySelector('.countdown')
  ,   one_Sec    = 1000
  ,   one_Min    = one_Sec * 60
  ,   one_Hour   = one_Min * 60
  ,   one_Day    = one_Hour * 24
  ;
var countDownDate = new Date(eCountDown.dateTime).getTime()
  ;
function ctd()
  {
  let now      = new Date().getTime()
    , distance = countDownDate - now
    , days     = Math.floor(distance / one_Day)
    , hours    = Math.floor((distance % one_Day)  / one_Hour)
    , minutes  = Math.floor((distance % one_Hour) / one_Min)
    , seconds  = Math.floor((distance % one_Min)  / one_Sec)
    ;
  eCountDown.textContent = days + 'd '
                         + hours + 'h '
                         + minutes + 'm '
                         + seconds + 's '
                         ;
  if (distance < 0)
    {

Section 47 of the IBA (Principle) Act, 2002 mandates the Authority to recommend regulations to the Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services (MIBS) aimed at perfecting the regulatory framework for the broadcasting Sector. In this regard, IBA has so far developed a number of regulations.
In order to ensure compliance to the provisions of the IBA Act(2002), IBA Amendment Act(2010) and other broadcast regulations, the IBA through its Inspectorate, undertakes inspection of broadcast infrastructure and monitors content.
Inspections encompass a wide range of issues including studio set up, equipment, acoustics, personnel, record keeping, sanitation, safety, and documents, among others.
Monitoring involves listening to radio and watching television in real-time in order to ensure broadcasts are in conformity with the IBA Act and other broadcast regulations.
In this regard, the Authority also conducts post monitoring reviews of media content.
Competence of the moderator as reflected in programme control, research on the topic, guidance given to guests and callers, and adherence to ethics are monitored.
For more information, please refer to the Standard Operating Procedures for Broadcasting document .
News items are expected to adhere ethical standards reflecting such elements as balance, fairness, accuracy and truth among others.
The Authority monitors all radio and television content including music. Comments and language of presenters, announcers and DJs are monitored. Further, language and messages in songs are monitored to ensure conformity with the general cultural set-up of Zambia.
Spectrum is a scarce resource and as such, the IBA ensures that those given the privilege to use the frequencies maximise the use by covering the given area. Therefore, the Authority monitor coverage of radio licensees to ensure people are getting the signal in all parts a station is licensed to cover.
Radio and Television stations are expected to follow their programme schedules and notify the public in advance if and when they are not able to bring a scheduled programme. Where a licensee decides to change the programming permanently, the licensee is expected to notify the Authority before effecting the change.
The IBA is a public institution and therefore all its work is directed at ensuring that the public gets the maximum benefits from the broadcasting sector. In this regard, IBA takes note of all public concerns related to the broadcasting industry made on radio, through complaints to the Authority and through any other means. This helps to enforce decision making by the Authority.
This is where a licensee is given steps to take in order to make good of the breach committed.
Guidance is also given to licensees on several issues aimed at improving their performance and well-being as well as the broadcast industry in general.
This is when a licensee is summoned to appear before a Committee of the Board to account for the breach committed. The Board will then make a decision based on the outcome of the Hearing.
This is when the Authority withdraws a broadcast licence from an erring licensee for a period of time in order to force them to make good the breach committed. After the period expires, the Board will make a decision on the next course of action.
This means withdrawing the licence and the licensee stops providing broadcasting services in Zambia for good.


Ayurveda emphasizes preventative and healing therapies along with various methods of purification and rejuvenation.
Ayurveda is more than a mere healing system; it is a science and art of appropriate living which helps to achieve longevity.
It can also guide every individual in the prevention of disease and long term maintenance of health. To achieve this balanced state of body, mind and consciousness, Ayurveda prescribes Panchakarma Therapy for the cleansing of body toxins.
As the name suggests, Pancha in Sanskrit stands for five and Karma is the therapeutic measures, therefore Panchakarma means five types of therapeutic measures. These are undertaken for the purification of the body and Ayurveda considers it necessary before the start of any other therapy.
The logic being that as a cloth needs to be purified or cleaned of impurities and dust before it can be permeated with a new colour; similarly the body needs to be purified before it can be permeated with new colours of youthfulness, health and vigour etc.
In fact, most of the time, Panchakarma is an end in itself rather than a prelude to other therapeutic measures.
The Panchakarma therapy of Ayurveda is comprised of five basic types of advanced treatment for the evacuation of vitiated Dosha (toxic materials) from the body. One can consider this as a body de-tox program.
There are so many subtypes of this therapy and different types of herbal massages, fomentation's such as steam, external oil treatments, Basti (medicated enemas), Virechana (purgation through herbs), Vamana (emesis through herbs), Nasya (nasal administration of oils) etc. are also incorporated.
The goal of Purva Karma is to prepare the body tissues for the cleansing and release of toxins. One to three weeks before the actual cleansing phase, you eliminate all processed foods, sweets, stimulants such as coffee, and most dairy products from your diet.
During this preparation phase, a person's activity shifts to become more internally-focused. This means letting go of some day-to-day activities and spending time meditating and taking walks in nature. Deep breathing, focused on the exhalation phase helps to rid the body of old ideas, emotions, and blockages.
During the rejuvenation phase, a person returns to the simple diet of the preparation phase. It is important to do this gradually, by slowly introducing solid foods. On day 1 and day 2 of the rejuvenation phase, begin eating khichadi but change the proportion of water in the recipe to 14 parts water to 1 part rice, 1 part beans, and 1 part vegetables.
On day three follow the Original recipe. Many people find that the most profound healing occurs during the rejuvenation phase. Physical, emotional and spiritual changes may be experienced in the days and weeks to come. Sometimes issues that have been suppressed will surface.
According to Ayurveda, every human being is a unique phenomenon of cosmic consciousness. The three Dosha (humours) determine every individual's psychosomatic temperament or constitution. Vata (ether plus air), Pitta (fire plus water) and Kapha (water plus earth) are called the Tridosha, meaning the three Dosha.
The internal environment is governed by Vata -Pitta -Kapha (V-P-K), which is constantly reacting to the external environment. The wrong diet, habits, lifestyle, incompatible food combinations (e.g. milk and fish, melons and grain, yogurt and meat or cooked honey etc.), seasonal changes, repressed emotions and stress factors can all act either together or separately to change the balance of V-P-K.
According to the nature of the cause, Vata, Pitta or Kapha undergo aggravation or derangement that produces Ama (toxins). To stop the further production of Ama, Ayurvedic literature suggests placing the patient on a proper diet together with an appropriate lifestyle, habits and exercise, and administering a proper cleansing program such as Panchakarma.
Panchakarma is a very special Ayurveda treatment requiring proper guidance from a highly trained and skilful Ayurveda practitioner. One should consult with an Ayurveda physician, not just someone with a modest amount of training prior to deciding on these cleansing procedures.
Panchakarma is given individually to each person according to their specific constitution and specific disorder or needs; the treatment requires close observation and supervision.


Recent graduates who are looking for teaching positions often blur the lines between college life and young adulthood and the start of the professional career. These small reminders might seem like common sense for some but for many a quick review can make the difference between full-time employment, an opportunity to be a substitute, or the likelihood that the administrative team may never call or interview you again.
What number did you give when you applied?
If you are living at home with your parents or siblings, be sure to give notice that you applied and are expecting a call and make sure they copy down all of the information.
If you gave your mobile number, what does your greeting sound like? If you sound like you are in a tornado, your ring back tone is not something you would want your grandmother to hear, or your personal greeting is inappropriate, you may not even get a message. Lastly, if your phone is disconnected, schools will not take the time to track you down.
Again, make sure your contact information is correct. Is the email you list your old school email? If so, change it to something appropriate. If it is [email protected] or [email protected] you may be waiting a long time to be contacted. Create a professional email address that includes your name and is simple.
Is your formatting goofy? Make sure your certification areas are easy to identify and are located towards the top. Try to be consistent with your spacing, fonts, and bullets.
Take some time to research the school/program. You can use your research to supplement your responses and often times the interview team will ask you what you know about the school/program.
If you are not sure where the school is located, drive their prior to that day or leave very early to make sure you are walking in at least fifteen minutes prior to your interview time. If you are late, you will most likely not be offered a position.
The interview starts as soon as you pull on to school grounds. If you peel into the parking lot like it is a NASCAR race and flip a cig out the window as you pull into a parking spot that is labeled for someone other than a "visitor" word will spread quickly. Turn your radio down, drive like you are in a school zone and carefully park in a visitor parking space.
Smile! Interact with everyone you have the opportunity to meet. Administrators will often ask for feedback from the people that you interact with while you are waiting. If you are not personable and positive you may not gain much support.
Thank the individuals for taking the time to interview you.
Be confident, make eye contact and smile.
Answer questions providing relevant examples without rambling and digging for the right answer.
At the end, they will probably ask you if you have any questions for them. Come up with good questions. Not asking anything is not usually a positive thing. Consider asking about induction programs or if you would have a mentor. You can also inquire about opportunities to coach or contribute to the school community.
Sometimes there is small talk at the end as you are leaving. Be humble and thankful. This is not the time to tell them that you are interviewing other places, complain about getting lost on the way, talk about personal information, or vent about the local community. This will only hurt your chances.
Do you have an electronic portfolio, binder, or disc that you can send them or leave the interview team with? This might include a recording/video of your teaching, as well items like your resume, lesson plans, and clearances.
Send a thank you card or email the members that were present. In order to do this successfully, you must listen closely to the names of the interview team when they introduce themselves! Write their names down as soon as possible.
Sometimes people break out in hives, sweats, and stutters. If you are a nervous person, be nervous on the way and on the way home, but being nervous during the interview will only hurt your chances of earning a position. As a professional teacher, you have been trained to talk to people! That is what they are hiring you to do! Give yourself a pep talk before you get out of the car and promise yourself you won't be nervous. If you are able to pull it all together while you are inside, it is perfectly acceptable to scream and hyperventilate on the way home! Be you and do your best!

Q: Is this vulnerable to sql injection or not? While looking for a solution to my problem, i found this topic:
Rails and Arel and Scopes - simplify multiple OR's on the same table/field match
One of the answers is this:
fields = ["name", "email", "phone", "business_name", "doc_id"]
filter = fields.map { |field| "lower(#{field}) LIKE '#{term.downcase}'" }.join(' OR ')
@customers = Customer.where(filter)

But isn't this vulnarable to sql injections if term is a param from user input? If so, how can I make it sql injection proof? Will sanitize_sql_like fix the sql injection issue? So like this:
filter = fields.map { |field| "lower(#{field}) LIKE '#{sanitize_sql_like(term.downcase)}'" }.join(' OR ')
@customers = Customer.where(filter)

Update:
Is this a solution?
fields = ["name", "email", "phone", "business_name", "doc_id"]
filter = fields.map { |field| "lower(#{field}) LIKE :query" }.join(' OR ')
@customers = Customer.where(filter, query: "%#{sanitize_sql_like(term.downcase)}%")

A: Any situation where you are interpolating user input into a SQL string is a potential SQL injection vulnerability. Escaping the input (which is what sanitize_sql_like does) can mitigate it somewhat but its always better to use bind variables to pass the user input separately to the database so that it cannot be missinterpreted as actual commands.
# bad
User.where("email like %#{params[:email]}%")

# good
User.where("email like ?", "%#{params[:email]}%")

You also do not need to manually construct that huge SQL string. Instead just create an array of ActiveRecord::Relations and join them together with the .or method.
fields = %w{ name email phone business_name doc_id }
filters = fields.map do |field|
  Customer.where("lower(#{field}) LIKE :term", term: term.downcase)
end
@customers = filters.drop(1).inject(filters.first) do |memo, scope|
  memo.or(scope)
end

This can look somewhat daunting but its really just a fancy pants version of:
Customer.where("lower(name) LIKE :term", term: term.downcase)
        .or(
          Customer.where("lower(email) LIKE :term", term: term.downcase)
        )
        .or(
          Customer.where("lower(phone) LIKE :term", term: term.downcase)
        )
        # ...

Evaluation of Anti-Hyperglycemic Effect of Passiflora Edulis Sims (Yellow Passion Fruit) Juice on Alloxan Monohydrate Induced Diabetes Mellitus in Male Sprague Dawley Rats
Merlita C. Medallon Leah Quinto Allysa Mae P. Nipolo Eric M. Pujante Jessa Marie P. Sebolino Jay Steven G. Toreja
Nowadays, the incidence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is growing around the world. In fact, it is one of the most serious diseases among adults in the age of 45 and a life - threatening disease over the age of 50, resulting to be the leading causes of death in which Filipinos are also affected by the disease. One of the most known way to treat DM is using insulin. However, side effect, toxicity, and organ damage may happen due to continuous usage of synthetic anti-hyperglycemic agent. Therefore, finding non-toxic and affordable treatment for Diabetes such as medicinal plants is presented. Present investigation was undertaken to investigate the ability of Passiflora edulis sims (yellow passion fruit) pulp juice as anti-hyperglycemic agent on male Sprague-dawley rats, and to compare and evaluate which concentration used in the study of Passiflora edulis sims pulp juice is significantly better as anti-hyperglycemic agent. Thirty (30) individual rats were used in this experiment, 10 of them are used for toxicity testing and no toxic effect has been observed after 24 hours. The remaining 20 rats were randomly divided into five (5) groups, DM was induced by using Alloxan monohydrate dissolved in 0.5 M buffered citrate at a pH of 4.5 and was injected intraperitoneally. Treatment was done by oral administration of yellow passion fruit pulp juice, 1ml, 1.5ml, 2ml, and 2.5ml respectively. The effectiveness of fruit juice was compared with a control group this include diabetic rats treated with water. Results of the study revealed that 1.5 mL, 2mL and 2.5mL concentration of the fruit juice significantly decrease the blood glucose of the diabetic rats while pre and post blood glucose only shows a significant decrease on group 4 and group 5, the highly evidence of anti-hyperglycemic factor occur. Therefore, the Passiflora edulis sims pulp juice fruit juice can be used as alternative treatment for diabetes mellitus

                 Apthous stomatitis is a most common condition which affects the oral cavity and it is painful. Apthous ulcer is characterized by repeated occurrence of benign and non-contagious mouth ulcers. It can be caused due to triggering of T-cell mediated immune response, by various factors. This condition is very common, affecting about 15-20% of the population. The lesions generally occur on the cheeks, lips, gums, floor and roof of the mouth. There are three different types of apthous stomatitis they are apthous ulcer major, apthous ulcer minor and herptiform ulcers. It can be also termed as recurrent apthous ulcer, recurring oral aphthae, and recurrent apthous ulceration. Informal term is canker sores.

Minimalism is one of the design trends which never fades away but evolves unlike many others that are long-forgotten. Minimalist websites are ones that lack of many effects, have lean aesthetics, are usable and visually pleasing without many bells and whistles. Some great examples of websites are Apple, Dropbox and Digital Ocean. What they have in common is the clever use of white space, very simple navigation, clean typography and focus on the content.
When employed correctly, the goal of minimalist web design should be to present content and features in a simple, direct way by providing as little distraction from the core content as possible. This strategy often involves removing content or features that don't support the primary goals of the interface or its users.
Creating a minimalist website does not mean to have a dull website with some information and lots of white space. Minimalist means to make everything on a web page work for the content without distractions. Minimalist can also be bold, focusing on the content without any tricks and serving the user in the best possible way.
The trend for big hero images or background video is still strong today although there is a shift in favour of bold colours used in the header area. A minimalist website can use a vibrant and a bit crazy colour to create an engaging, attention demanding area which is still simple. The colour can be anything suitable for your palette coming from flat and material design colour range. The above mentioned Digital Ocean website used to have a white minimalist header with some text on the left and an animated light image on the right. A couple of months ago, the header area changed by substituting the white background with bold trendy blue gradient which works directly for the content. The animated explanatory image is still there on the right, the info on the left is pretty much the same. Just by changing the background colour the user is directed to focus on content immediately.
Usually, minimal typography is connected with Helvetica typeface or anything that looks like it and it is highly readable sans serif. It doesn't not have to be the only definition. Minimal typography can be any solution which focuses on delivering the message in a cleaver, dominant way. You can choose to use vintage, grunge or stacking type to spice up minimalist design. The typeface has to be chosen very carefully and used right.
Younom uses Euclid Flex typeface from Swiss Typefaces Foundry. The type is beautiful, readable and perfectly suitable for the German brand. It suggests affordable luxury and responds appropriately to the innovative nature of the Younom cosmetics.
Laurent Sutterlity brilliantly combines three typefaces from Google Fonts – Playfair Display, Montserrat and Roboto. While Playfair Display is used to put an accent to his name, the freelance projects finished and years of experience, Montserrat is used for titles. The body copy is laid out with Roboto. Combination of three typefaces is usually tricky but in this example, a great harmony is achieved in a beautiful minimalist and simple website.
Styling content with cards is one of the biggest trends of the past year. Partially because of the Google Material design, cards are used to organize content in desktop sites as well as in Android-based and Apple apps. Cards are particularly useful when a beautiful flow and organization is needed. They are found as a working solution for photos, text, videos, music, payment, forms, pricing tables, social sharing, coupons and many more. Styling and organizing content with cards is not new. It has been used for a long time in online shops. Pinterest also is a great example of using cards.
If we take eBay or similar famous shopping website, we will see that card style works great, as it is a simple visual element which feels unobtrusive, comforting and user has the feeling of control. The actions that user can take when facing cards is simple, there is short (or not at all) learning curve. Minimalism and cards is a very popular option because it is very simple and just works. Such solution also transfers well on mobile websites and apps, even if the organization is different on desktop and mobile devices.
Ionic.io uses cards for organizing pricing information on their pricing section. The cards are stacked on one another which takes the usual pricing section up a notch and creates an interface which is easy to use.
Minimalism might be considered as restrictive for some designers as there are some rules to be followed so such design is achieved. Not necessarily though. Minimalism can be enhanced with some vibrant colours or creative, trendy and striking typography and still be simple, effective and aesthetically pleasing. One of the greatest things of this type of design is that you can add a couple of touches, from flat and material design, to create interfaces that are particularly curious and interesting for the user. Designers make design styles evolve and trends are either enhanced or scrapped. The bottom line for minimalist web interfaces or for any others is that everything created should be simple, well-organized and treating well the user. Isn't that just good design?

Serena Williams overwhelms Safina in Australian Open final
MOSCOW, January 31 (RIA Novosti) - Serena Williams swept past Russia's Dinara Safina in less than an hour on Saturday evening in Melbourne to win the Australian Open title for a fourth time.
The U.S. No. 2 seed had saved match point in her semifinal against Safina's compatriot Elena Dementieva but rarely came under pressure after winning the first set 6-0 in 22 minutes.
The Russian No. 3 fought back, breaking Williams' serve in the first game of the second set, but the American was too strong, taking the match 6-0, 6-3 in 59 minutes.
Williams won the doubles title with her sister, Venus, on Friday, and will regain the WTA world No. 1 ranking when the list is published next week. She has won the Australian Open every other year since 2003 and becomes just the seventh woman to win 10 Grand Slam titles.
Safina's defeat was a disappointing end to a championship that saw three Russians in the semifinals. Williams' last three matches were against Russian women, as she overcame Svetlana Kuznetsova in the quarterfinals.
On a brighter note, Russia could celebrate a win in Melbourne even before Safina took the court, as 17-year-old Ksenia Pervak won the Junior Girls' Singles competition 6-3, 6-1 against Britain's Laura Robson, 15.

Countless species of molds are found both indoors and outdoors. Walls, clothes, books and even CDs can't hide from mold growth. It can turn pricey possessions into musty moldy materials that would only fit in the garbage can.
To what extent should we be worried about mold when it conquers our homes? If it started to cause damage to the possessions we have, what harmful effects can it do to our bodies? In this issue, here are what causes molds to grow, its health alarming effects and ways on how we can avoid or prevent them.
If for a few days the weather's been very humid, molds have a greater chance to invade your home. Molds usually start to grow on walls, benches and other surfaces because of the wet air during rainy days. Drying clothes indoors on clothes lines or stands is one of the common culprits.
