Wake Up! Coffee in Paris Doesn't Need Saving.
By: Jordan Michelman
Alain Ducasse is getting into the "reflective degustation" of coffee, pioneering and thought-leadering in a city where coffee has been…pretty amazing, actually.
The move is too familiar. An eminent brand, thought leader, or great custodian of taste steps into the specialty coffee scene, heralding disruption. Be it bank, restaurant, or coffee titan (see: Howard Schultz), the announcement of a grand new flagship is met with fawningly promotional press by a sympathetic outlet. Earlier this month, it happened again. The big name in question was Mr. Michelin Stars (Plural) himself, Alain Ducasse, and his newly opened Cafe Alain Ducasse in Paris; the outlet taking the bait was the aging American media brand Fortune.
The profile was breathless. The great man Ducasse's great new café was said to be "meant for reflective degustation" of coffee and staffed with a roster of global barista championship staff. They're not just making coffee, oh no: They are producing an "exacting gastronomic-style of service that has the potential to attract a broader audience," as per the fawning prose of journalist Lindsey Tramuta. The article's choices of quotes are borderline sycophantic: The French food writer Caroline Mignot, having evidently never before seen fresh whipped cream in a coffee bar, calls the coffee service at Ducasse "a different kind of café experience."
All of which is fine, or at least would be if you were talking about almost any other city in the world. The great waves of dumb, ingratiating articles that accompany the opening of every Starbucks Reserve store or Capital One concept bank-café make similar claims of game changing. But to write this way about the Parisian coffee scene in the context of Alain Ducasse is an eliding act I cannot stand for.
The real story here is not that Alain Ducasse is getting into coffee, at least not yet; it's that no coffee culture in the world has come further, and faster, in the last decade than Paris's. Not even a decade ago, The New York Times could be given no grief for running a headline like "Why Is Coffee in Paris So Bad?" Today, Paris is home to dozens of contemporary, quality-focused specialty coffee bars every bit as good as what you'll find in New York, Tokyo, or London, packed throughout the hip and teeming 10th and 11th Arrondissements along Canal St-Martin, emanating out into every little neighborhood and nook of the city.
The city has gone from laughingstock to global point of pilgrimage. We've covered it so much on Sprudge (the coffee publication I cofounded in 2009) that I almost feel a little bit proud of Paris, a city whose coffee scene I find myself swooning over, fantasizing about my next visit like an emo teenager après-Amélie.
Coffee has long focused on the idea of a Nazarene-like figure to wander over from the food world and anoint the practice of specialty coffee as special, worthy, and even…dare we suggest…culinary. In this, I fear Rene Redzepi has Ducasse beat by five years at least, to say nothing of coffee-obsessed chefs and restaurateurs like Thomas Keller, Daniel Humm, the brothers Canlis, Dominique Crenn, Renee Erickson, Erik Bruner-Yang, Enrique Olvera, James Lowe, and Danny Meyer (who loves coffee so much that his Union Square Hospitality Group went out and acquired a leading Manhattan brand, Joe Coffee, in 2017).
I do think there's cause to be excited about Cafe Alain Ducasse, but I think it should be seen as much more the tail end of a trend wave than some great, epochal event. There's something that rubs me wrong about the idea that the grand aging restaurateur (or the stock-beholden coffee multinational, or the millennial-cruising fiduciary globocorp) can come into the coffee space now—especially in a city like Paris—and claim some sort of transformational narrative, after much of the dirty work has been done to win the hearts and minds of today's specialty coffee drinker.
Will Cafe Alain Ducasse be a studiously imitated simulacrum of a great café experience (like the Starbucks Reserve spaces), or does it have something more to offer beyond atonal regurgitation? And what about the coffee, of which Fortune tells us precious little in this article, beyond the fact that it is allegedly "equitable" (no further definition is given) and will be brewed by "cafeliers" (get it, like a coffee sommelier) on fancy "Marzacco" [sic] espresso machines? [Calling out the typo might seem petty, but I assure you, in the wine world this would be like a wine piece presenting strong feelings on the 2019 Bordough vintages.] That sound you hear—a faint fluttering like some great flight of moths from a thousand miles away—has a source. It's the workaday ranks of the Parisian specialty coffee scene, le tout monde cafetier, rolling their eyes in unison (and with perhaps just the faintest French exhalation—"A-pew! ") at the very notion of Monsieur Ducasse somehow being the savior of their backward coffee culture.
Will Cafe Alain Ducasse be a studiously imitated simulacrum of a great café experience (like the Starbucks Reserve spaces), or does it have something more to offer beyond atonal regurgitation?
Parisian coffee culture has already been saved—it is in fact thriving, and has been for the better part of a decade, offering a daily product every bit as culinary and dare-I-say-it "gastronomic" as what they're brewing here in the early days at Ducasse. One just needs to know where to look, a task about which Fortune evidently has zero interest in informing its readers. The premium crop of Parisian coffee bars and roasters by and large are not owned by multimillionaires and do not have Michelin stars (or even a Wikipedia page), much less a PR team hooking up a puff piece.
All of which is to say: If you do choose to travel to Paris for coffee—and you should—Cafe Alain Ducasse seems positively appropriate to include on your must-visit list. Just don't start and end your coffee experience there; it would be like visiting Paris and skipping the simple perfection of a morning croissant or baguette (a fate worse than death, honestly). Here are a few places not to miss.
Coutume's launch in 2011 helped usher in a new era of coffee quality in Paris, led by cofounders Antoine Netien and Tom Clark. Those who complain that specialty coffee in Paris is the playground of expats have never met Netien, a caviar- and natural-wine-loving Parisian aesthete who also happens to have a massively respected palate and sourcing record at top coffee farms worldwide. Coutume operates around a half dozen coffee bars in Paris (plus one more in Geneva) and supply delicately light-roasted coffee for dozens more café destinations across the city. My favorite Coutume location is, oddly enough, inside the Finnish Cultural Institute (in the Quartier de la Sorbonne), with interior design by Joanna Laajisto. 60 Rue des Ecoles, coutumecafe.com
La Fontaine de Belleville (pictured above)
Opened in 2016 by the team behind Bellevue Brulerie, an influential microroaster located in the 19th Arrondissement, this place manages a sort of effortless live-in Parisian lifestyle cool. Belleville's great genius was in acquiring a former bistro space with deep neighborhood roots; from there it was simply a matter of improving the beers on tap (with a focus on French farmhouse ales), adding an espresso machine on the counter, and letting the good vibes continue to spill out onto the street. If I could be a regular at any café in the world, it would be this one, hanging out daily as morning cappuccinos turn to lunch salad and baguette, before a light beer in the twilight, perhaps a walk down to the canal, and back again for a quiet aperitivo amongst the evening crowd. Live jazz has been performed in this space since the early 20th century, and on Saturday nights the café again hosts performers from around the world. It's just perfect. 31-33 Rue Juliette Dodu, cafesbelleville.com
Over in the 14th Arrondissement, Stephane Cataldi and the team at Hexagone have carved out a niche, offering perhaps the most quintessentially understated "French" experience on the modern Paris café scene. The name is a nod to a common nickname for the modern state of France—l'hexogone—and the café serves traditional French pastries, cakes, and caramels. Cataldi is one of the city's best roasters, and the 14th was a veritable specialty coffee no-man's-land when this place opened in 2015. Today it is a must-visit. 121 Rue du Château, hexagone-paris.fr
La Caféothèque
Opened in 2005 on the banks of the Seine, directly across from the Cathedral, Gloria Montenegro's humble coffee bar has played an outsize role in growing coffee culture citywide. The café's vibe feels period-appropriate—Parisian cafe meets Gen X grunge with lots of history behind it—and the coffee (particularly the bar's espresso service) maintains a longstanding reputation for quality and excellence. This coffee bar was winning over Parisians back in the Jacques Chirac era, when Ducasse was still busy winning over New Yorkers under George W. Bush. 52 Rue de l'Hôtel de ville, lacafeotheque.com

While Kathy and I often stay in campgrounds during extended periods of travel, we also spend our fair share of time in motels and hotels. Some of these Motels/Hotels are absolutely fantastic. I have fond memories of the Hyatt Place in North Charleston and the Fairfield Inn and Suites outside Salt Lake City.
Unfortunately, not all Motels are up to snuff. With the advent of smartphones it's easy to check hotel ratings and pricing beforehand, which is very helpful, but sometimes the ratings don't tell the whole story, which is why I recommend that you always check the room before you pay.
This is especially true when your motel options are unexpectedly limited. When driving long stretches of the country, it's difficult to preplan everything. On several occasions we've hit our 'too tired to drive any more' point, and started looking for a hotel, only to find that there's a festival or event in the area and every hotel and motel for 50 miles in every direction is booked except for one. My list below comes from my experiences with those hotels.
#1 – If the entire outside of the motel is covered in large black beetles (outside San Antonio), you may want to look for another motel.
#2 – If the motel deals with the bug problem by assigning each room its own tarantula, you may want to look for another motel.
#3 – If the motel staff's idea of cleaning the room is spraying every surface with something that looks like coffee or dried blood, you may want to look for another motel.
#4 – If your room's door can be unlocked by shaking it from the outside, it's time to look for another motel.
#5 – If your sheets, blankets and pillowcases all contain cigarette burns and scary stains, it's probably time to look for another motel.
#6 – If the motel proprietor's idea of a lobby is a slot in the door of their room, it's probably time to look for another motel.
#7 – If the motel is still advertising color TV as a feature, it's definitely time to look for another motel.
#8 – If the motel charges by the hour instead of by the night, leave without checking the room!
#9 – Finally, If you pull back the blankets on the bed (which I highly recommend BEFORE you pay) and find that the bed is already 'occupied' by earwigs, beetles, or ants, politely hand the key back to the manager and RUN!
So what should you do if your only option is a sketchy motel? If you have camping equipment with you (we always do), you can treat the room as a clean campground. I've gone so far as placing my camping air mattresses on the floor and sleeping in sleeping bags.
Alternatively you can find the nearest rest area and take a 20 minute nap. I recommend parking in a well lit area for safety, and don't stay too long. Even when I'm really tired, 20 minutes of sleep makes a huge difference. After that I can usually push on another 50 miles and find a decent motel.
I'll add a disclaimer – Don't drive when you're tired! It's very dangerous. I recommend looking for a room as soon as you start to feel tired – don't wait until you're nodding off.
I hope you found my list entertaining. Good luck with any motel room you choose and happy travels!
I have never even heard of number nine! Is that even a thing to charge people by the hour in motels? Thank you for the tips, a lot of them are definitely things that I would stay away from and give bad reviews if found out. Another reason to always go online and find out what you can before actually going.

The participants are asked to make their own accommodation booking. There are a number of downtown hotels in the vicinity of the Fields institute that have a special rate for the Fields visitors, so the participants need to ask for a discount rate.
Cheaper accommodation is available in student residences on campus. In fact, the hotel rate slashes a regular price by at least half, so it is a good deal. And the student accommodations are really cheap.

WeChat expertise in China is not easy to ge
CSG Group > Blog > Business > WeChat expertise in China is not easy to ge
January 8, 2019 friend.seocompany@gmail.com
Apple Watch and in the 2014 Discovery of the Importance of the 2016 WWDC, China's Viett messages played an important role in the demo. During the stage of this phase, the app's largest profile was displayed in front of US viewers, and nothing could be found since then.
Why was not US aware of us as much as weChat was from Apple? This is because China has a powerful power in the Chinese market, where Apple is constantly trying to adopt, develop, and grow.
WeChat recently hit a billion-month-old users, a figure that puts it in the fastest company in Facebook, VoiceSpace and Messenger. How does this trade with Chinese companies and how many number of country users connect to each other? But this is not just a sticky "chat app". WeChat is a fully spread mobile platform and has potentially influenced Messenger's Facebook plans, which could include making a center for apps, services, and even customer support. On WeChat, you can send money between taxi drivers, donate the critics, play games, and host of other activities and you can do Chinese chains as long as you are in China. The version of the app available in the US is a lot of additional services, which helps explain why they fly under the radar.
As an American, we did not plan to get close acquaintance with WeChat. But when I joined a Chinese app developer a few years ago, it became my most used app soon. First of all it was difficult to self-identify, but became very easy as I know where some things are. Staying in the Viett gives a taste of cultural differences between China and the United States, and how the rapid technology grows on the other side of the world.
The American technology industry is like to talk about the "mobile phone" experience, but the catcher does not play similarly in China, who has never developed Computer Central Culture, facing Americans before smartphones. Used to have For WeChat, the first mobile to be mobile is your phone, and everything goes through it.
For example, if you want to use WeChat on a laptop or desktop PC, you'll need to use the QR code to contact the phone and verify access to your phone. all the time. You do not enter any passwords in a desktop application. Instead, you click on "Login" and get notifications on your phone so that you can confirm it.
Votte's mobile-first, desktop second design, also excludes the fact that the desktop app does not sync every single message. If your computer is sleeping for an expansion period or the application is out, it is not possible that you receive messages sent to this message. There is no record of messages that are ever happening. The WeChat desktop app can not be much easier than PC-based experience, but it does not mean that we should be used as a basic way to reach the Vsetet.
Another strange thing is not to log in with more than two devices at the same time. You can connect with your phone or a Desktop or iPad app, and it's also. A bug, you probably think? I told Asia colleagues that it is a security feature, in order to limit serious communication, people are being seen through a new cycle through cycles, which forget to save them.
About Features
Within WeChat, there are also features to minimize hidden information errors, such as the ability to miss a message – up to a few minutes. This means that if you mistakenly post a message or a document in the wrong group, you can remember it and it may disappear from all the devices that it receives.
Translation between English and Chinese is holding a message and selecting and accessing it from a popup menu. Other available options for messages make them move forward to other people, their delight and a reminder so that they can dynamically renew a notification.
Many of these features are quite common among different apps. In the widget, however, communication is not such a text center. You can send audio messages that automatically play when subscribers keep the phone on their ear. You can send your real-time location to a group, and join the map on the map. Built-in audio and video calling – the second feature makes its way to western apps – makes easy conference calls for calls. And of course stickers and GIFs are front and center and easy for cross-cultural communication.
While WeChat can take advantage of features from other apps, you will also see the features that along with other apps as well as their very successful red packages, or a rif on the red envelope, the virtual expression of an old Chinese tradition. included. You can send red packets, which include a digital cash in a group, to each recipient, you are explained to each recipient.

Part of the new brand image for The Blackburn Vet was a DL brochure for point of sale marketing of the complete list of services of the business. This brochure would be used in reception and assorted other point of sale locations.
The Blackburn Vet logo was the first stage of the new creative branding and would be further developed onto stationary, brochures, presentation folders, website and signage.
The Blackburn Vet DL Brochure utilised stock images that were sourced by the Wizarts to keep the small brochure cost effective. Most often or not DL brochures are roll folded to DL and the DL size of 100mm x 210mm is a perfect format to fit into DL envelopes (110mm x 220mm) and also for sitting in brochure and or counter stands in reception areas.


On our sixth day in Iceland, we woke up with the street (and our car) covered with tons of snow. We spent quite a time trying to clean the car and once we finished, we drove south again to complete the part of the surroundings of Vik that we missed up.
As you can see, this day my obsession with horses, houses and farms continued. We drove direction Vík but we stopped a while in a snowy field to say goodbye to our beloved Icelandic horses.
It snowed quite a lot during this morning, but in a moment, the weather seemed to calm a little bit. We take this opportunity and we started to walk on the snow direction the Wrecked Plane DC-3. After walking an hour more or less through a lot of snow, we realized that it was actually sunny. I think that this was the only moment in the whole trip that we stayed more than an hour without it was raining or snowing.
It was quite interesting to visit the plane in the middle of the snow. All we could see was white, and the plane seemed pretty camouflaged on the surrounding.
After spending an hour more or less taking photos of the plane, we decided to say goodbye to the south coast of Iceland. It was time to return to Reykjavík, but on the way, we decided to visit Eyrarbakki, a little and colorful seaside village located in Suðurland.
It was too cold when we arrived, that we drove around the streets of this village. After a while driving and walking a little bit by the area, we jumped again to the car and continued our journey to the main city. The weather forecast announced a big snow storm on the next day, so we decided to arrive in Reykjavík before dusk, just to be preventive. Guess what we did when we were at the city? Chase the Northern Lights!
We woke up on our fifth morning in Iceland at -8ºC! We booked a glacier walk at Sólheimajökull, so we were a little bit worried about the conditions. Surprisingly, once we arrived there it was not so cold, and we could even fly @tropicalbert's drone!
We started to hike the glacier and I have to say that I know that this excursion was not a difficult one, I thought walking with crampons would be more complicated, but it was not! The previous night the snow started to fall again over the country. The glacier had a tiny snow cover so our guide headed us to an ice cave, so we could experience the famous blue color of these ice formations from up close.
Although the morning started pretty sunny, and even during a moment it was actually warm, the clouds were darker every time and finally, it started to snow again. We left the glacier during a snowstorm, so we were very lucky to see it without bad weather. We spent almost 3 hours on the glacier, so it was time to say goodbye to this ice formation and continue our journey through the south coast.
We saw a beautiful house near a secondary road, so we decided to drove through this new path and discover new places. After a while, we realized we arrived at the world-famous Reynisfjara: the black sand beach.
After a moment, a few buses arrived and the beach started to be a little crowded. After that, we decided to move on and we went to our next destination: Vik and its surroundings.
I think that this was that moment of our trip when I realized I was obsessed with Icelandic horses. Believe me, if I say that you can't imagine how many pictures of horses I took during those days. But I couldn't stop doing that! They are so perfect and seemed to be posing for a photo all the time… that it was impossible not to immortalize them!. I needed to stop to take a picture of almost every horse I saw, so @tropicalbert, if you are reading that, thank you so much for being so patient with me and caring about the fact that I loved those animals.
Returning home, we decided to stop at Skógafoss. It was the waterfall I wanted to see the most, and it didn't disappoint me at all. At the time we visited it, there was almost no one, so we could say that half of the waterfall was entirely for us!
Another thing that you should know about this trip, is that I also became obsessed with houses and farms. Although I didn't upload as many images of this kind, I needed to stop whenever we saw a house to take a picture (or maybe more than just one). I didn't care about the cold or the snow when it came to immortalizing a moment. This obsession with houses and horses continued in the next days, so stay tuned!

McMorris Rodgers votes against Trump's declaration of emergency
By Joel Connelly, SeattlePI

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., pictured with then-House Speaker Paul Ryan, breaks with Trump on declaration of emergency. "Congress must reassert itself as the prime branch of government.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted 245-182 on Tuesday to overturn President Trump's declaration of national emergency on the Mexican border, a near-party line vote with only 13 Republicans backing the resolution.
Two of the 13 Republicans -- U.S. Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Jaime Herrera Beutler -- were from this state.
A third Northwest Republican, Rep. Greg Walden of Oregon, also voted Yes.
McMorris Rodgers is a former member of the House Republican leadership. Walden is a former chair of the National Republican Congressional committee.
"My vote to disapprove of unilateral executive action had nothing to do with the merits of building President Trump's wall -- I support it," McMorris Rodgers said in a statement following the House vote.

"It was a vote based on my deeply held conviction that we must reassert the people's ability to speak through their representatives in Congress. That's the best way to keep us free and protect our liberties."
EARLIER: Two Wash. Republican House members decry Trump's state of emergency
Herrera Beutler, in a statement earlier this month, said Trump was setting a "dangerous precedent."
"If President Obama had ever hinted of using executive powers in this way, I would have spoken out strongly against it, and consistency demands that I do the same now," Herrera Beutler argued.
Just one out of Washington's 10 House members, Rep. Dan Newhouse, opposed the resolution to overturn the declaration of emergency.
Still, Democrats were not able to muster the two-thirds majority needed to overturn an anticipated Trump veto. The resolution goes to the U.S. Senate, where three Republican senators have said they will support it.
The state's seven Democratic House members were strong in support of the resolution. "Building a wall is not the answer to border security," said U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen. Trump may take military construction money, slated for projects in Larsen's district, to build his wall along the U.S. Mexico border.
Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said: "This national emergency declaration is built on xenophobic lies and mischaracterizations about immigrants."
RELATED: Wash. AG Ferguson: Trump emergency declaration is 'unlawful action'
Smith termed "dangerous and wrong" what he described as "circumventing Congress by stealing funds from military readiness for his political agenda."
McMorris Rodgers has rarely broken with Trump, and backed him for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. On Tuesday, however, she delivered an emphatic statement, endorsing the President's wall but not his means of building it.
"Whether it's for border security or protecting the balance of powers in the Congress, upholding the rule of law is foundational to our system of government," she said. "I take this seriously because disregard for the law only leads to more abuse, dysfunction and corruption.
"Congress must reassert itself as the prime branch of government."

Dronninglund Sparekasse var en lokal garantsparekasse i Nordjylland, der blev stiftet d. 8. april 1873. Sparekassen blev d. 15. oktober 2019 overtaget af Sparekassen Vendsyssel, som herved blev landets største sparekasse, målt på antal garanter.

Historie
Dronninglund Sogns og Omegns Spare- og Lånekasse startede sit virke i 1873 i Lundager kapellanbolig hos formanden pastor Christensen. Her havde sparekassen til huse i tre år. Lærer Petersen blev valgt til ny formand, og sparekassen flyttede til Bolle Skole, der husede sparekassen i næsten 20 år.

Da lærer Petersen havde bygget hus i Dronninglund, havde han bygget det således at der var plads til sparekassen i den ene ende, så der flyttede sparekassen ind i 1895.

I 1908 byggede sparekassen nye lokaler på den nuværende placering.

Ifm. sparekassens 100-års jubilæum i 1973, blev det besluttet vælte bygningen fra 1908 og opføre en ny og større bygning. Det er denne bygning som fungerede som hovedkontor for Dronninglund Sparekasse indtil 15. oktober 2019, hvor sparekassen blev overtaget af Sparekassen Vendsyssel.

Ved sammenlægningen bestod Dronninglund Sparekasse af 7 afdelinger og cirka 60 medarbejdere.

It is important to create a plan so your search will be targeted at positions and places that fit your skills. If you don't know what you're good at doing and if you don't know what you enjoy doing, you will apply for each and every opportunity that comes your way, instead of only applying for the ones that you're interested in. Make a list of what types of jobs you are interested in and then find out more about these jobs by talking to people who already have careers in those fields or in similar career fields. Doing this can help you gain information that will strengthen your resume and can also increase your knowledge about the position you're interested in. After doing this research, organize all the documents you will need to apply such as references, certificates and awards, and past work experience. Then write out a plan with a timeline that will keep you on track. The saying, "by failing to plan, you plan to fail" is true, even when it comes to searching for work.
A familiar proverb says that "two heads are better than one," and this can certainly be true when it comes to searching for work. Working with an accountability partner, such as a trusted friend or family member, will help you better stay focused on your job search. An accountability partner can provide valuable advice, give needed encouragement when the search gets frustrating, or they may notice a good opportunity that you miss. Set a time for you and your accountability partner to work together each day, and then set a goal that you can reach successfully. For example, on Monday you can work on improving your resume, on Tuesday you can explore different positions, on Wednesday you can apply to those different positions, etc. Don't try to do everything at once. Divide your job search into smaller tasks and accomplish them one step at a time.
If you are seeking remote employment opportunities, SkipTheDrive.com is a free, simple, no-hassle service that, in addition to listing jobs, can alert you whenever new jobs are found that match specified keyword(s). This niche site enables telecommuting seekers to be more productive by providing pre-filtered listings that allow for work-from-home opportunities. You no longer have to waste valuable time scrolling through endless lists of search results that are not applicable to your skills or preferences. SkipTheDrive.com allows you to search by keyword(s) or by category and lists jobs in real time. Once you do a search, you can set up alerts via email for the keyword(s) you searched for.
When you don't have a job, searching for a job is your job, so treat it as such. Tell family members and friends that you can't be interrupted during the time that you are searching for work, whether that time is for one hour or several hours. Take care of things that need to be done before you start searching, and then do not waste time doing other things once you start searching. Other people are not the only ones who can disrupt your search…you can too! Be on guard against stray thoughts that come to your mind – the lawn needing to be cut, a phone call needing to be returned, the garage needing to be cleaned. Instead of leaving your job search to do things like this immediately, write them down and schedule a time to take care of them later. You will also need to limit online disruptions and distractions such as social networks (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and checking email. Utilizing distraction-blocking apps while online can boost your productivity and help you focus your energy on your job search. Some good ones to try are Cold Turkey, FocusBooster, and Freedom. Also, put your phone in another room and turn off the television.
It can be hard to keep track of everything when you're applying for multiple positions. GoJobHero.com is an online dashboard that allows you to save openings from across the web and track your application progress; set reminders for follow ups, deadlines, and due dates; and upload and tag documents, notes, and contact information. You can register by creating an account or by using LinkedIn. You can also install the free JobHero Sidekick extension that allows you to grab all essential information from a job posting with one press of a button. This sidekick is integrated with most job boards, including: Indeed, Glassdoor, Monster, and Simply Hired.
This is the only social networking service that was created specifically for business professionals; as such, it allows seekers to filter job factors by title, experience, location, industry, and more. You can be more productive with your search by making sure your LinkedIn profile is up to date (if you don't have an account already, creating one is free). Using specific keywords in LinkedIn's search engine will help you find a good number of openings that you are interested in. You can also look up companies that you want to work for on LinkedIn and see if they have positions available. Finally, the LinkedIn Jobs app is very useful in alerting you to when new jobs are posted.
Chances are you aren't the only one you know who is searching for work. If a friend, family member, fellow student, or former co-worker is also looking for a job, why not help each other out? Form your own online community that keeps everyone up-to-date on how everyone's search is going. It can also be a source of motivation and a place where suggestions can be made and ideas and/or resources shared. A great platform to use to do this is Trello. Trello is a digital bulletin board that allows groups to work more collaboratively and get more done. You can keep track of all the jobs you have applied for by setting up customizable notes, lists, and tasks that can be shared with others. The ability to add images and videos on Trello is a good way to keep your search creative and visual.
To keep track of how productive your search is going, create a chart that is easy to update and that will help you identify what you have done, what you need to do, and what you can improve on. Across the top row, list the dates of the week. Down the left-hand column, list tasks such as Job Search Education, Letters and Administration, Advertised Positions, and Follow-ups with Hiring Manager. These tasks should be divided into three categories that respectively conclude with Total Hours, Total Letters, and Total Contacts. A new chart sheet should be created for each week of your search. For a sample job search productivity chart, please click here. Another type of chart you may find beneficial to use is a Gantt chart. Use graph paper to plot out tasks that are related to your search by drawing it as a bar, with the length of the bar indicating the length of the task. For more information on how to create a Gantt chart, please click here.
When you've done everything you could do, and still haven't received a response from any of the positions that you have applied for, it may be time to think outside of the box. If you are talented at such things as creative writing, graphic design, speaking, or handiwork, look for a place that will allow you to do a sample job for free so you can show off your skills. Just as an actor auditions to get a role in a movie, it might be a good idea for you to audition for the role you want in a certain workplace. You can also show off your skills by launching a personal Facebook ad or by creating a unique YouTube video as Brian Booth did. Don't limit yourself to traditional job search strategies.
It's easy to feel pessimistic about yourself and about your opportunities while searching for work. In a culture that often defines people by what they do, no one likes being without a job. However, it is important to define yourself by who you are. Be optimistic, stay focused on the positive things in your life, and remember to take care of yourself. Searching for a job can drain you emotionally, mentally, and physically. Allow yourself to take frequent breaks from the stress of searching by doing a hobby that you love. Don't allow searching to isolate you from friends who already have careers that they love. Stay social because you never know when someone will have a lead that can result in a great job for you.


I always find kids the easiest to buy for. There are so many toys and items out there. Plus they usually have quite big interests and things they like which make it super easy to buy for, you just have to be careful you don't buy multiples!
1. Magic Tracks - Parker saw this on an advert and it looked so cool he immediately wanted it. I looked into it and it does look really great. A glow in the dark track that is bend and flex and the set includes a little car too. If your little one loves cars they love this.
2. Ballet Bunny - I think both boys and girl would like this toy. Yes it is a pink ballet bunny but you can attach the stretchkins bunny to your hands and feet and she stretches with you. Soft, cuddly and stretchy.
3. Personalised Necklace - I love personalised items for children at Christmas. A great gift for a slightly older child would be a personalised necklace. Paige is always trying to steal my jewellery so having a necklace with her own name on would blow her mind.
4. Stabilo Goodies - Paige loves to draw so if your little one is the same they might enjoy these goodies from Stabilo. They have a great range of pens and pencils which would make great stocking fillers.
5. Personalised Books from Its Your Story - Again I love personalised items and personalised books are a great gift in my eyes, especially if you have a child that is learning to read or starting to take an interest in readong. Both Paige and Parker love books and I know they would get a kick out of seeing their name in a story.
6. Aquabeads - Both Paige and Parker love making and doing little craft activities. Aquabeads keep them busy and entertained. They love making little things and showing them off in their room.
7. Paw Patrol Sea Patroller - Parker loves Paw Patrol and i know that he is hoping that santa brings him the Sea Patroller for Christmas so I think that other children would also love it as a gift. If your child is a Paw Patrol fan this will go down a storm!
8. VTech Secret Diary - Paige is hoping for a secret diary. This one is really cool and even has a camera. I know her and her friends would love this!
What is top of your child's list this year?


I do not work in the field of sustainable development. Nor am I a fanatic about "soft" mobility – non-motorized forms of transport. I am a keen outdoor sportsman and a lover of our mountains, which I visit by mountain bike, as a rock-climber, on foot or on skis – all altitudes.
As someone more comfortable in the outdoors than in the city, a connoisseur of silence, but also of high performance, I have always been interested in whether mobility could be both non-invasive and efficient.
I had to wait until I was approaching my fiftieth year before the auto industry got to a certain (preliminary) level of maturity in this field, which is when I decided to give it a try.
What follows are my experiences as a driver of what I consider to be the first mass-produced "durable" vehicle worthy of its name on the market, the BMW i3.
I even get to drive this car now and then, when I can winkle my husband out of it.

Prayer is the heart of Unity.
It is what we do! Unity began with prayer-activated healing through our co-founder, Myrtle Fillmore in the 1880's and it continues powerfully to this day.
Do you desire to know God more fully? Do you desire to bless others? Do you wonder, what is prayer and how do I pray? There is no right or wrong way. However we can find ways which bring us into a closer experience of God, the Divine, at work in and through us and our loved ones.
Whether you sing, plead, praise, write, rejoice, give thanks, whisper in your soul or shout from the rooftops, prayer connects you with God.
Millions of people worldwide call and write every year for confidential prayer support through challenges, opportunities and breakthroughs. No questions are ever asked.
Silent Unity is open Mon-Fri from 9.15am-4.30pm; and 10am-12noon on Saturdays. At other times you will get a recorded prayer and can also leave a message.
In the late 1880s, Myrtle Fillmore's life was transformed when she heard and believed the idea, "I am a child of God and therefore I do not inherit sickness." Speaking life-affirming words to her tuberculosis-ravaged body, she went on to live a life of health and wholeness.
News of Myrtle's prayer experience spread, and people near and far began sending their prayer requests to her. In 1890 Myrtle and her husband Charles began a prayer ministry. Daily they held in mind and heart the prayer requests of everyone who contacted them. That was 120 years ago. That was the beginning of Silent Unity. The prayers continue today as do the many stories of blessings received.
Everyone has a prayer story—be it for healing, prosperity, peace or personal transformation. For 120 years, Silent Unity has been a window into the hearts of people around the globe who are seeking prayer support.
Literally millions of people have contacted Silent Unity for affirmative prayer. And there are countless extraordinary stories of people's faith being uplifted, health renewed, relationships restored and prosperity realized.
Those who call, write or e-mail are encouraged to use affirmative prayer, the same method of prayer Jesus taught when he said, "So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" (Mark 11:24).

By Sachini Muller and Terence Wood
The latest Development Bulletin has been published, and it's a bumper issue filled with articles on development in the Pacific, past, present and future.
This article in The Economist discusses ways in which language problems are a challenge to crisis responses.
The Australian Medical Research Advisory Board has recommended an Australian Global Medical Research Fund as part of its priorities for the next two years.
Is there a relationship between Islamophobia and support for ISIS? Smart new research from Tamar Mitts drawing on data from Twitter suggests there is. (Journal article here; open access here.)
Pakistan has one of the world's highest rates of abortion, this NPR article explains.
As the Syrian crisis continues, Rukban has become, to its residents, a symbol of the international community's inability (or unwillingness) to help, writes Rozina Ali for The New Yorker.

Most employers don't yet offer student debt repayment, but it's already being called the hottest benefit of 2017. This highly-sought perk is increasingly popular with Millennial employees, many of whom have thousands of dollars in student loan debt.
In 2016, the average student debt load was more than $37,000. Nationally, the total student debt burden represents $1.3 billion.
As of 2016, only 4 percent of employers offer student debt repayment, according to the Society of Human Resource Management. Companies like PricewaterhouseCoopers, Aetna and Fidelity are leading the way in offering student debt repayment. Most companies offer anywhere from $100 to $600 per month up to a yearly cap.
Though robust retirement benefits used to compose some of the most competitive packages, Millennials are now the largest generation in the workforce and changing the face of benefits. An IonTuition study found half of respondents would prefer student debt repayment to 401(k) contributions.
Further, nearly 85 percent of employers surveyed by SHRM said they think employees contribute less to 401(k)s because of student loan debt.
Currently, there are no tax benefits associated with student debt repayment. Though educational assistance, like tuition reimbursement, can be excluded from taxes up to $5,250, student debt repayment is subject to taxes.
The Student Loan Repayment Assistance Act of 2015 sought to reform the tax status of this benefit, but that legislation has not been passed.

It's been a long time coming, but I feel like I am finally able to confidently say I'm back to running consistently. For those of you that haven't been following along, I developed IT Band Syndrome at the end of October while training for the Philadelphia Marathon and had to DNS. I then spent the next few weeks desperately trying to rest and strengthen on my own to no avail.
Eventually I went to Physical Therapy (which I continued to go to weekly for nearly two months) and that along with a combination of strength and cardio from Refine Method, cardio from FlyWheel, strength and centering from yoga, and additional PT exercises I finally started to run again at the end of December, albeit sporadically. By the time mid-January rolled around I had "graduated" from PT, partially because I had improved and was able to run 3 miles without pain, and partially because my insurance would no longer cover my visits (even though they barely did to begin with) because sports injuries weren't included and being able to run over a mile isn't considered an issue by insurance (which is fine for the average person… not so much for someone that identifies as a runner).
I started back with a base-building plan with the understanding that if anything felt 'off' or it just didn't seem like a smart idea to run on a particular day or to cut a run short, I would. I made a conscious effort not to put any future races on my calendar for a fear of having to pull out of them and I plugged along, logging anywhere from 15 to 22 miles each week in the last month or so. And to say it's been trying on my motivation to start running consistently at the end of January/beginning of February in the tri-state area would be an understatement. There have been plenty of days I haven't wanted to leave my apartment, let alone run along the Hudson. Yet I've managed to get myself out the door more days than not, giving myself some leeway when needed, but always remembering in the back of my head that my goals aren't just going to come to me.
I don't like you, winter… even if you are pretty sometimes.
This week (if all goes according to plan) I'll hit my highest mileage week since October 14-19 and will finally be ready to tackle a double digit long run next weekend! I'm also running a 5k race next weekend, but don't have any actual plans to race. It's the first race in my quest for the NYRR 9+1 so I can run the New York City Marathon next fall and I'm excited to pin on a bib for the first time since September. In addition to having my eye on a few NYRR races for spring and early summer, I'll be running the Broad Street Run in Philly again this May with some of my good friends from college. So as long as I can keep myself healthy, I have high hopes of doing some great base building so I can finally tackle the marathon I'm capable of this fall!
Are you training through this cold & snowy winter?
What are your spring racing plans?


Using results from the previous page, we plotted a chart showing the TPG-0750F-R's efficiency at low loads, and loads from 10 to 110 percent of its maximum-rated capacity.
The TPG-0750F-R is significantly more efficient than competing Gold-class units, including those from Zalman and SilverStone based on a similar platform. According to our data, it even beats the Platinum-rated SilverStone ST75F-PT, which achieves 89.88% overall efficiency between 10% to 100% of its output range, and 81.41% between 20W and 80W.
It bothered us that we couldn't explain this discrepancy, so we asked around and discovered that Thermaltake is using the latest version of Sirfa's platform for its TPG-0750F-R. Apparently, the new revision enables significantly better performance than older ones.
In the following tests, we measure the TPG-0750F-R's efficiency at loads significantly lower than 10 percent of its maximum capacity (the lowest load the 80 PLUS standard measures). The loads we dialed were 20, 40, 60, and 80W. This is important for representing when a PC is idle, with power-saving features turned on.
Efficiency is very high under light loads, even for a Gold-rated unit, and the PSU operates passively, so it's completely inaudible.
The ATX specification states that 5VSB supply efficiency should be as high as possible, recommending 50 percent or higher with 100mA of load, 60 percent or higher with 250mA of load, and 70 percent or higher with 1A or more of load.
We take four measurements: one each at 100, 250, and 1000mA, and one with the full load the 5VSB rail can handle.
The 5VSB rail is also highly efficient; it only loses to the RMx and RMi units.
Power consumption in standby isn't the lowest we've seen, but it's still a lot lower than what the ErP Lot 6 2013 specification requires.
The first chart illustrates the cooling fan's speed (in RPM), and the delta between input and output temperature. The results were obtained at 37°C (98.6°F) to 46°C (114.8°F) ambient temperature.
The next chart shows the cooling fan's speed (again, in RPM) and output noise. We measured acoustics from one meter away, inside a small, custom-made anechoic chamber with internals completely covered in sound-proofing material (be quiet! Noise Absorber kit). Background noise inside the chamber was below 18 dB(A) during testing, and the results were obtained with the PSU operating at 37°C (98.6°F) to 46°C (114.8°F) ambient temperature.
Passive mode doesn't last long, even under normal ambient temperatures. Nonetheless, the PSU is fairly quiet up to around 300W load, while it exceeds 40 dB(A) with more than 500W load. All in all, the fan profile could be less aggressive to facilitate quieter operation.
