Jane Jackson is the author of #1 Amazon bestseller Navigating Career Crossroads and host of 'Your Career' Podcast on iTunes. We recently spoke with Jane about important elements that new college graduates should focus on when looking for their first job, including professional image, etiquette, and confidence.
Tell us a bit about your background. Why did you decide to become a career coach?
I'm living my dream job as a career coach as I'm on a mission to make career guidance accessible and affordable to the world. Having enjoyed 20 years in a number of industries from public relations to FMCG and from the travel industry to health & fitness in Hong Kong and London before moving into corporate training roles in Singapore, I know how much determination it takes to make a successful career change – and once you've done that, how to develop your career and your personal brand effectively.
It was a smooth transition from corporate trainer to career coach for me, as I had many transferable skills and a strong empathy for those struggling with change and transformation within the corporate environment. I set up Jane Jackson Careers because I'm on a mission to make career guidance accessible to all who need it.
When it comes to new college graduates seeking their first jobs, do their situations differ based on what country they live in?
Yes, very much so. Depending on the expectations of their culture combined with the economic climate where they are located, the way college graduates approach the job search process will differ. Some will find it more challenging than others to secure their first role depending on the job function, the industry, and the location they are targeting. It is essential that they conduct research about the industry they wish to target and how buoyant the market is for their desired roles within that industry in their preferred location.
Generally speaking, do you think that today's college graduates are too confident or not confident enough when searching for their first full-time job?
College graduates, in general, have the confidence of youth! They will have spent years becoming highly qualified in their subjects of choice and are ready to secure their dream job. Of course, there will be the anxiety about how they will approach the job search as this will be a new skill they must learn.
Depending on their chosen profession, it may be that major companies will attempt to entice them to join their firms by offering attractive graduate positions. For example, young lawyers and accountants who have achieved high grades at college will be strong candidates for graduate programs at large law firms and accounting firms. However, other professions may not offer the option of graduate programs or traineeships. It's important to be aware of all the options; and when they gain that knowledge, their confidence will grow.
When it comes to professional image, what are some common mistakes that young adults tend to make?
I've found that when it comes to professional image, many young adults take the stance that their talent, skills, knowledge, and personality should be enough to get them through the interview process. And in principle, I would tend to agree with them. However, they need to be aware that depending on the interviewer (or their future manager and his or her biases), a professional image will also play a part when it comes to success in the job search process and to managing their career effectively.
A common mistake is that young adults don't research what is appropriate or acceptable attire for different environments. If they want to dress to impress for success, then they must also look the part. So much of selection success is in the "fit" of the candidate.
A professional image extends from in-person to online branding. Young adults may not be aware (or may not care) about what they post on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. For professional success, it is essential to manage their online brand. According to CareerBuilder's social media recruitment survey of over 2,000 hiring managers and HR professionals and over 3,000 full-time U.S. workers, 60 percent of employers revealed that they use social networking sites to research job candidates.
Since you teach a course called Dining and Social Etiquette, could you tell us why this information is important for new college graduates to know?
Frequently, the interview process can extend over a number of days and include social situations where dining etiquette will be observed. One of my clients was sent to Chicago for a series of interviews over three days. These interviews were held during the day in the office setting and also over lunch and dinner since his role required a significant amount of client relationship management, which included entertaining those clients. If college graduates are targeting roles where there will be significant client liaison, their social etiquette, as well as their business etiquette, should not raise questions about their professionalism and understanding across cultures. A solid understanding of what is acceptable in different cultures, especially in today's global economy, is essential.
It is important to… develop a good reputation before thinking about moving [to a new job]. It takes about 90 days to settle in and then another 1-2 years to get completely up to speed in most roles.
As someone who has moved to another country on four different occasions, what advice might you have for a new college graduate who is considering looking for (or accepting) his or her first full-time job in a foreign nation?
I would recommend that they conduct their research into the economy of the country or city they are targeting first of all, and then understand the employment requirements such a visas, certifications, and specific qualifications that are accepted in their target country. They must find out the cost of living, the employment prospects, and what support the company will provide to help them assimilate into the new environment. It would also be prudent to speak with others who have made the move and find out the challenges as well as the benefits of being there. Networking and speaking with those who have done it all before will provide great insights.
If a new college graduate were to say to you, "As soon as I land my first full-time job, I'll immediately start looking for my next job," how might you respond?
I would suggest that they focus their time on getting up to speed in their new role first in order to make sure that they contribute and add value to the department or company. It is important to have some wins on the board and develop a good reputation before thinking about moving on. It takes about 90 days to settle in and then another 1-2 years to get completely up to speed in most roles. To move on too soon would raise alarm bells with future employers that this job-seeker is a job-hopper. Every time a business replaces a salaried employee, it costs six to nine months' salary on average. This is why screening and carefully selecting the right employee is so important to companies.
For the college graduate, of course, it is wise to be aware of other opportunities for the next step in their career; however, an employer will expect to gain a return on their investment. I would say develop a strong professional reputation before looking for the next role.
What challenges will Generation Z face in finding their first full-time job that Millennials didn't have to worry as much about?
Gen Z is considered to be the "connected generation" as they are brought up using digital technology and social media. This makes it even more important to ensure their online brand is professional.
1.Globalization – Through leveraging technology, many professionals now work globally by staying at home, working remotely, and changing the traditional world of work.
2.Automation – Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the constantly evolving smart machines performing human tasks will affect the availability of certain roles for Gen Zs. Any role that can be automated will be. This makes it even more important that Gen Zs develop strong interpersonal communication skills, develop and maintain a strong professional network, and maintain an innovative and creative approach to their work.
3.Work flexibility – The preference of organizations to take on contract workers or consultants (i.e., the "gig" economy) will mean that there will be fewer full-time permanent roles available.
The good news is that many organizations have shifted their working schedule to a "results only work environment" where employees can come at any time or work from anywhere as long as their work is completed. This kind of environment exemplifies the work atmosphere desired by Gen Zs who are constantly connected in every aspect of life. Finally, Gen Zs should educate themselves in the essential requirements and prepare well to secure their desired role after graduation.

The Christian coalifate and crime cartel is running rampant
The NSW Lib's sanctification as Premier of the Brylcreemed Li'l Dabble Dooya, better known as Dominic Perrottet, a man resembling a pelican emerging from an oil spill, has re-animated conjecture about the capture of the conservative parties by religious nutters.
It's yet to be made clear whether Opus Dei Dom has crossed the line from Tarago driving old school Catholic to hard core nutter. He's a pro-Trump, feral friar replicant – a skinny version of Tony Abbott but sans the dementia pugilistica or as yet any obvious urge to smite and destroy and who thankfully forgoes Abbott's comical, bow-legged, rodeo-cowboy-who-shat-his-chaps machismo but he's tipping the scales further to the hard-right of the less-government-more-God American Goppers.
"Some have argued that social security replaces the role of children in old age by socialising the traditional duties of the family." (Dom Perrottet, The Guardian, July 1, 2015).
During his brief stint in the big chair Abbott's wisdom suppository was removed from its receptacle and waved in our faces on a regular basis. Captain Catholic held the missionary position of old school biblical sexism and he wasn't shy with his proselytising on the proper place for women. I strongly suspect Dom with his 6 kids (+1 pending) also sees women as simply life support systems for wombs.
Dom's a professed champion of the protection of the confidentiality of paedophiles, an anti-abortion/anti-voluntary assisted dying/every sperm is sacred but the economy comes first dichotomist whose 'go forth and multiply' convictions are at least not as free-lance as is his co-religionist Barnaby the purple, priapic procreant. The steady infiltration of Dom-alikes in the Tory parties has moved the needle on who qualifies as a nutter vs who's merely a mainstream Jesuser. A rabid Abbott as PM and Barking Barmy Joyce as deputy blurred the distinctions.
The various tribes of nasty, Old Testament sanctimonious hypocrites, whakkadoodle creationists and Mammonites have morphed the Protestant sectarianism of Robert Menzies' Liberal Party into a hybrid tent revival, fascist book burning club and Jesus Wants You To Be Rich symposium.
The Tories are infested by Taliban-lite, by incurious simpletons for whom a deity is a handy excuse for disengaging the brain, bronze-ager God squaddies, the zealots inside of whom is a little Torquemada craving to be let out and the self-righteous worshippers of the filthy lucre – all purporting to represent the wishes of a spectral Santa Claus for grown ups whose interests seem to always align with their own. None are there to serve our interests, they're there to impose their punitive morality and rigid dogma and to top up their property portfolios as a measure of their merit pending the End Times.
Should they dress in goat skins and smear themselves with the ashes of long dead relatives to dance naked around golden images of Donald Trump questions would be asked. They're not that obvious but they are plenty blatant.
Alex Hawke – SchMo's prayer buddy and advocate for a business class Jesus
Evolution determined that through climate change a branch of hominids would descend from the trees and thereby develop the bipedalism that led to the opposable thumb, a big brain and language. Various versions spread through large parts of the planet but only Homo sapiens made it past the beta test phase to flatter itself that rather than being the accidental result of a long series of unlikely events we are the sole representation in the entirety of the universe of a spectral creator.
The people who deny science to favour angels and demons and talking eagle paintings are running our country and the one at the pointy end believes that a white, bearded ethereal male* has tasked him personally with carrying out a paranormal plan that accommodates the imminent destruction of a 6,000 year old earth and all it contains, with the enrichment of cronies in the interim as a sub-project to confirm their worthiness in the eyes of his god.
*God is a man apparently which raises the question of why an omnipotent deity who created a universe from nothing is equipped with meat and 2 veg.
Scott Morrison is beyond doubt a genuine, fully blown religious nutter. Beelzebub is as real to Morrison as the tooth fairy is to a toddler. Inane superstitions and an ABN-equipped Jesus inform his sheltered world view. He claims to be on a mission from God with whom he has a personal relationship and he flatters himself with the title of 'leader' yet he's inert in all but the facilitation of a culture of consequence-free grift and Armageddonist planetary destruction. A man defined by what he's against and by the limitations of a small mind informed by bronze age mysticism. To quote Albo he; "doesn't hold a hose on bushfires; it isn't a race on vaccines; and isn't even in the room on climate change talks." Not a prophet, not a leader, not God's emissary – a deluded incompetent who needs to keep a long list of the things he doesn't know about so that he can deny all accountability and a catalogue of personas to disguise who he really is.
Albo threw Morrison off his talking point a few months ago when he said 'you're a liar'. Morrison looked taken aback. Albo had to withdraw comment, but the video footage still lives.
— Vicki Clay (@thevixter2) October 18, 2021
Descriptions of Morrison have included that he is a creep, a spiv and a weirdo but I am wondering what sort of deity it is that he has conjured up in his fabulist imaginings that tolerates the alleged crimes of the cabal that he purports to lead. Dom Perrottet is a worry but he's got a long way to go to meet ScoMoses' level of egregiousness.
Some good reading:
God in the Lodge. Crikey. A comprehensive analysis of Morrison's fantasyland beliefs and his supporting ecosystem of godliness. A highly recommended read.
For God and Country. Religious Dynamics in Australian. Federal Politics. Dr Marion Maddox. A long but worthy read from 2001.

Could DoPe be the not so funny comedy relief deputy with the cactus in his y-fronts?
Children grow out of the belief in the tooth fairy (like I stopped believing in Santa when I was 5) but religious lunatics like Scummo and his assorted nutcase mates, never stop believing in Beelzebub, John Howard, Satan, Abbadon, The Rupert, etc. They seem to become even more rabid as they age.
New England Cocky October 18, 2021 at 6:16 pm
What to label the COALition misleader and sky fairy consultant. Elsewhewre "DoPe" form Domonic Perottet is attractive but misses the inherent danger of a Roman agent of the Vatican impacting on the re-distribution of public assets like Roman cemeteries. My own Demonic Parasite somehow misses the mark, but perhaps a combination Demonic DoPe may be suitable.
DoPe must protect the privacy of kiddie fiddlers because so many of them are priests and other religious. How he managed to be NSW Treasurer when he is unable to count up to 28 leaves me speechless. Six kids and oh how the child allowances roll in.
So the parade of unChristian nutters continues across the media sponsored by Murdoch the Papal Knight of the Vatican.

That Australia, a secular nation, has a fervent religious nutter as PM shows that our political system is broken, unfit for purpose.
Morrison is now shitting in his Macca dacks again on what NSW ICAC knows about Glady's shenanigans and skulduggery.
Morrison is doing his utmost to denigrate, obfuscate, delay the formation of a genuine Federal ICAC with TEETH.
He knows the L/NP cover ups, rorting and bs are the tip of a very large iceberg.
The iceberg that sank the Titanic is minuscule in comparison.
The whole damn bunch of L/NP are miserable arseholes, a gang of crooks and Dominic Perrottet, (DoPe), is the latest addition.
"Scott Morrison, has already declared that the political downfall of Berejiklian demonstrated that Icac was "a real problem."
"It is certainly not a model we ever consider at a federal level" he said.
The government's model for a federal Icac involves hearings in private and a much higher standard – a criminal offence – in order to bring proceedings against a federal politician.
Aside from the lack of judgment shown in commenting on current proceedings involving a political colleague,
the prime minister's comments show a woeful lack of insight into Icac's processes."
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/oct/18/the-opening-of-icacs-inquiry-into-gladys-berejiklian-was-a-contrast-to-her-shock-resignation
It begins, the beginning of the end of the Liberals "rule" of Australia, the butterfly effect will ripple out, and consume the L/NP.
The only way for any ICAC to operate, establish trust and be above any attempt at secrecy is with PUBLIC HEARINGS.
It's just laughable, (woeful), that in Morrison's deluded mind he thinks it's ok to advocate for ICAC hearings in private.

Grumpy Geezer has the rare talent of being able to so savagely kick the pretentious a*ses, condemn the elitist self-entitlement and bruise the stratospheric egos of the repugnant totally corrupt members of Morrison's LNP – and all done with such wonderful humour, finesse and eloquence! Ever since the miserable, mean-spirited little war criminal, John Howard, rose to power on a platform of reprehensible attacks against the most vulnerable people in Australia and the diabolical "Weapons of Mass Destruction" lie it took for our nation to enter a politically-motivated, genocidal war (in Iraq and Syra) to ensure Howard's longevity as PM, the self-proclaimed God Botherers and Wrecking Balls in the LNP have continued to become so complacent and so emboldened that they no longer even try to hide what we have ALWAYS known them to be: a despicable and degenerate regime overflowing with the worst, most corrupt, arrogant pack of Hillsong cultists, skirt-lifting misogynistic predators and totally corrupt nauseating bible-thumping hypocrites in Australia's history!
The ONLY people MORE deluded, MORE short-sighted and blind to the LNP's appalling level of malfeasance, are the Murdoch-manipulated fools who keep voting them into power! WTF is WRONG with these people? Yes, yes I KNOW everyone has a democratic right to vote for whichever party they see fit, but REALLY? When I ask LNP supporters the OBVIOUS question: "Name ONE single thing the LNP has EVER done to benefit the lives of YOURSELF and ordinary working- and middle-class Australians?" LNP-supporting Australians (manipulated into the delusion that the LNP does, in any way, represent them) consistently FAIL to come up with any response EXCEPT, of course, to give me a blank stare as they struggle to find a single positive thing to say about this rampaging, destructive, pompous, unconscionable pack of psychopaths, environmental vandals, misogynistic predators and political parasites that hold sway in the LNP.

Cavity occur as a result of tooth decay. Tooth decay is the destruction of tooth structure. Tooth decay can affect both the enamel (the outer coating of the tooth) and the dentin (the inner layer of the tooth).
Why cavity occurs on teeth?
Tooth cavity occurs when foods containing carbohydrates (sugars and starches) such as breads, cereals, milk, soda, fruits, cakes, or candy are left on the teeth. Bacteria that live in the mouth digest these foods, turning them into acids. The bacteria, acid, food debris, and saliva combine to form plaque, which clings to the teeth. The acids in plaque dissolve the enamel surface of the teeth, creating holes in the teeth called cavities, or caries.
Just by viewing it is very difficult to discover cavities in your or your child's mouth. May be the only cavities which look as black spots right on the top of the surface of the tooth can be traced by you. But those cavities started in between the teeth (proximal Caries) or under the gums (root caries) are only detected by your Dentist & they can be discovered during your regular dental check-up. Your dentist can detect a cavity or hole in your tooth surface when explored by a dental instrument. X-rays can also show cavities before they become visible to the eye. In advanced stages of tooth decay, you might experience a toothache , especially after consuming sweet, hot, or cold foods or drinks. Other signs of tooth decay are visible pits or holes in the teeth which frequently starts catching the food. This may cause mild, moderate, severe to very severe pain. This is the time when a Root Canal Treatment is required. Before this happens meet your dentist & save your teeth in minimum treatment ie. Filling.
There are a number of different treatments for cavities depending on the extent of tooth decay. If decay is not extensive, the decayed portion of the tooth is removed by drilling and replaced with a filling made of silver alloy, gold, porcelain, or a composite resin.
A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. When a dentist gives you a filling, he or she first removes the decayed tooth material, cleans the affected area, and then fills the cleaned out cavity with a filling material. By closing off spaces where bacteria can enter, a filling also helps prevent further decay. Materials used for fillings include gold, porcelain, a composite resin (tooth-colored fillings), and an amalgam (an alloy of mercury, silver, copper, tin and sometimes zinc).
If decay or a fracture has damaged a large portion of the tooth, a crown, or cap , may be recommended. Decay that has reached the nerve may be treated in two ways: through root canal therapy (in which nerve damaged nerve is removed) or through a procedure called pulp capping (which attempts to keep the nerve alive).
These fillings are required for Cervical caries or Cervical Abrasion caused by faulty tooth brushing. The dentine of the root gets exposed causing unaesthetic exposure of teeth and hypersensitivity due to age and /or gum recession, this can be corrected with the help of Bonded Fillings. Apart from weakening the tooth, these wedge shaped defects are very close to the gum, maintaining hygiene of that area becomes very difficult. These lesions eventually turn into deep caries involving root surfaces of the teeth which may cause damage to the nerve.
These are Class II fillings Placed in between teeth. These fillings do not survive for a long time. They Fracture under the immense force used during chewing of food. These fillings are usually big, including one or more walls of the tooth, So tend to break shortly after you get them.
These fillings take lot of support from the tooth rather a good restoration. It is always advised to get these types of big fillings Capped, technically termed as Crowns. After receiving Crown, the tooth becomes very very secured future.
All Dental Fillings are a Painless & Inexpensive Treatment. Since they avoid Pain when cavity grows to Root Canal. Dental Fillings are in fact money saving. It goes by the Notion "A Stich in Time Saves Nine" Today's Dental Fillings are Highly Cosmetic and Very Long lasting. We at Dr Grover;s Dental Clinic use all Hi Tech Instruments like Fiber-Optic Handpiece, Modern Techniques & Latest Materials like 3M Composites with 7 th generation Bonding Material.

Don't Judge This Book By Its Title
By Zachary Alapi
A Review of J.R. Helton's Drugs
The subject matter of J.R. Helton's Drugs (Seven Stories Press) might at first appear self-evident, but it is the combination of imbibed adventures, personal struggle, and the exploration of the effects various drugs have on the individual and his/her place in society that make this fictionalized memoir a layered, gripping read.

Grumpy Old Men (On Richler and Sendak)
By Sarah Bernstein
At my Jewish high school in Montreal, Mordecai Richler, of course, was a bit of a hero. Whether or not he liked it, and even though he relentlessly lampooned the Jewish community, he was still one of ours. February at our school was public speaking month. So, every February, the teachers compiled and distributed a list of quotations to all of us groaning, gawky teenagers — possible speech topics from which we were to choose. . . .

Breathe, Just Breathe: Christina Cooke on Zadie Smith's White Teeth
By Christina Cooke
Commendations on the novel's thematic triumphs need not be contrived by this humble author as institutions such as The New Yorker, Guardian and Financial Times have safely lionized this text as one of the most celebrated of the past two decades. But the most striking yet undervalued aspect of White Teeth, from my reading, is Smith's awareness of the constrictions placed upon writing by those reading it — of the insistent and insufferable question demanded ad naseum, "but what does this mean?" . . .

Q: How to jailbreak my iPhone 5c with iOS 8.3? I have an iPhone 5c with iOS 8.3 and I have been wanting to jailbreak my phone for a long time but I don't know how. I want to do this because I want to get unlimited gems for free on Clash of Clans and so I could get other free stuff on my phone.

A: At the time of writing, there is no public jailbreak for iOS 8.3.

A: I'm not entirely familiar with the technicalities of how this works, but Clash of Clans has an extra payment verification system, as do many popular games, that prevent the conventional in-app purchase bypass from working. You will not be able to get free gems/coins/etc. on Clash of Clans simply by jailbreaking your phone.

The 2018 Homewood cross-country teams.
The Homewood football team gutted out a 27-13 win over Carver-Birmingham on Friday to keep its region winning streak intact. This Thursday, the Patriots travel to Jackson-Olin for a winner-take-all matchup for the Class 6A, Region 5 title.
Homewood's volleyball team concluded its regular season last week with a pair of matches. On Tuesday, Homewood honored its middle school teams, as the high school varsity team swept Altamont in three sets. On Thursday, the Patriots traveled to Helena and were knocked off in straight sets (18-25, 12-25, 21-25).
This week, the postseason begins. Homewood hosts the Class 6A, Area 10 tournament on Monday after going a perfect 4-0 in area play. Due to winning a three-team area, the Patriots have already clinched a spot in the super regional tournament, which will be played later this week.
On Monday, the Patriots will play the winner between Huffman and Shades Valley at 6 p.m. in the area tournament final.
Homewood's cross-country teams competed in the 27th Annual Husky Challenge in Trussville on Saturday. The boys team won the varsity event, while the girls were runners-up to Mountain Brook.
In the boys race, Will Stone took home top honors with a time of 15:46.86. Also finishing in the top 20 were Jack Gray (ninth, 16:53.92), Carson Bedics (11th, 16:57.14), Jon Fielding Stogner (15th, 17:08.17), Logan Justice (19th, 17:23.43) and Jack Harchelroad (20th, 17:29.62).

#TBT - Throwback Thursday. I LOVE LOVE LOVE looking at old pictures and seeing how much things have changed, myself especially.So while i was looking through the pictures i have on my laptop, i thought 'why not share them with the entire internet'! An entire huge post dedicated to throwing right back!
First up - A picture from when i went to Harry Potter Studios in Watford last year. Such a good trip but it was so tiring. It made me so happy to relive Harry Potter and see all the props and sets they used, i even got to try a bit of Butterbeer! Definitely worth a trip if you haven't been - it's a great day out.
What can i say - this was YEARS ago and i mean years! A family trip to London - i had been rained on, it was windy and somewhere inside me thought the middle parting was a good look. Well done 15 year old Bev, you were bloody gorgeous. I also seem to be either high on caffeine or just really happy to have a Starbucks. Or slightly terrified. Or all 3. You decide.
Me & my brother, Christmas day 2011. We decided it was cool to wear those christmas tag/bow things in our hair. You saw it here first! Also, i really like my hair like this. I seem to remember it took ages to curl as it was so short! #memories.
I love this dress! I still have it, just no where to wear it too! This was the end of my previous job's leaving do as the building we worked in was closing and moving somewhere else so it was a goodbye to everyone! (From what i remember) it was a great night and everyone looked beautiful!
Last but not least, this energetic throwback to Butlins! I was unsure why this picture happened but i think it was just being excited to be there. It was 90's weekend, the best decade if you ask me ;). Also, my face is hilarious. Don't care.

Leah leading the way to a better work/life balance
Diversity and inclusion are central to way we work at Origin – and Kalkadoon and Mitakoodi woman Leah Cummins is testament to how we are helping women move into traditionally male dominated roles.
Before joining Origin in 2010 as a geotechnical assistant – Leah had worked a tough and physically demanding job that often saw her working in 40-degree temperatures for 12-15 hours a day. Over three years, she rose to become a senior geotechnical assistant working in a sub-surface data management role.
She credits her perseverance to her great grandmother.
"My great grandmother had 10 children and worked to provide for them. If she could raise and support a family of 10 during that time and stand up for what she believed in, it makes me think, 'Why can't I be like that?" said Leah.
Leah wants people to know "being an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person does not diminish our capabilities in becoming something more exceptional".
"There are people in my wider group who are qualified and twice my age, and who ask for my opinion. I feel like I'm making a difference at Origin because of the good mentors and managers who listen to what I have to say. I love it."
Leah sees great benefits in having more women in male-dominated industries. "During my time I have seen a shift in work culture at Origin and I just love it– females are leading the way!"
Leah is now is now working towards her bachelor's degree in spatial information systems at the University of Southern Queensland, taking advantage of Origin's flexible working policy to achieve a better balance at work and at home.

Heart disease is still the No. 1 killer of Americans, but decades of progress in reducing deaths from heart disease may have now stalled, according to data released this week.
On Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that heart disease remained the top killer in the United States in 2014, accounting for one out of four deaths in men and more than one in five deaths in women.
Yet after years of notable declines, the death rate from heart disease has remained almost flat since 2011, falling at an annual rate of less than 1 percent, found a JAMA Cardiology study published Wednesday. By comparison, heart disease death rates fell by 3.7 percent each year between 2000 and 2011.
Likely to blame, researchers said, are the obesity epidemic and increasing rates of Type 2 diabetes — both risk factors for heart disease.
Although heart disease has been the leading killer of Americans for nearly a century, significant investments in prevention and treatment advances led death rates to fall dramatically over that time. Researchers noted that if the rates of decline from 2000 to 2011 had persisted, deaths from heart disease would have fallen below cancer in 2013.
Cancer remains the No. 2 cause of death in the United States, followed by chronic lower respiratory diseases, unintentional injuries and stroke. According to the JAMA Cardiology study, stroke mortality declined 4.5 percent each year between 2000 and 2011, but slowed to 0.4 percent a year from 2011 to 2014.
If current trends persist, public health goals set by the American Heart Association to reduce the burden of cardiovascular diseases by 20 percent by 2020 may fall short, the researchers wrote. According to the study, heart disease and stroke death rates would need to fall by more than 2 percent annually — much higher than current rates.
"As a societal imperative, we must redouble our prevention efforts on all fronts," Lloyd-Jones wrote.

how could I use it to type an async function I have defined on an object literal using the ES2015 object method shortand syntax?
const myObject = {

A: It's a little gnarly and you may want to extract it into a named type, but you can type it like so:
type MyAsyncFunctionType = (arg: string) => Promise<string>

const myObject: { myFunction: MyAsyncFunctionType } = {

MOHAMMED BIN ABDULLAH AL-JADAAN
Saudi Arabia 2021 | G20 | INSIDE PERSPECTIVE: GLOBAL SUPPORT
By supporting countries' health responses to COVID-19 and driving forward greater international economic cooperation, the G20 is looking forward to a robust and sustained global economic recovery.
Mohammed bin Abdullah Al-Jadaan has a degree in Islamic sharia, with a specialty in Islamic economics, from Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University and a degree in legal studies from the Institute of Public Administration in Riyadh. He was previously chairman of the Capital Markets Authority before being appointed Minister of Finance. He was also appointed as Acting Minister of Economy and Planning in 2020. Before, he was co-founder of AlJadaan and Partners law firm in cooperation with Clifford Chance as well as chairman of the board of directors of the Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration. He was also a member of several committees and councils including the advisory committee of the Capital Market Authority and the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority, among others.
We have just concluded our second G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meeting on the sidelines of the 2020 spring meetings. This pandemic has already taken a great toll on our people and on their economic wellbeing, and we are still faced with extraordinary uncertainty about the depth and duration of this global pandemic.
G20 leaders, during the G20 Extraordinary Leaders' Summit on 26 March 2020, recognized the gravity of the intertwined public health and economic crises. They have, therefore, committed to a globally coordinated response encompassing all the necessary measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. More recently, G20 finance ministers and central bank governors convened two extraordinary meetings to reach a consensus on a roadmap that will implement our G20 Leaders' commitments in responding to COVID-19.
Ministers and governors' urgent collective priority is to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic and its intertwined health, social, and economic impacts. We are determined to spare no effort, both individually and collectively, to protect lives, overcome the pandemic, safeguard people's jobs and incomes, support the global economy during and after this phase, and ensure the resilience of the financial system.
These are unprecedented times that demand swift, strong and significant global action. G20 members have injected over USD7 trillion into the global economy to protect jobs, businesses, and economies, and billions have been allocated to the hunt for vaccines, research, and development, protection of frontline health workers, and addressing trade issues on vital goods. Our efforts must continue and be amplified.
Ministers and governors are committed to using all the available policy tools to support the global economy, boost confidence, maintain financial stability, and prevent deep and prolonged economic effects. As mandated by the extraordinary G20 Leaders' Summit, today ministers and governors endorsed a G20 Action Plan in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The plan sets out our commitments to specific actions to drive forward international economic cooperation as we navigate this crisis and look ahead to a robust and sustained global economic recovery.
Our aim, with the action plan, is to support the necessary health response and measures to increase our collective health resilience for the future, preventing a liquidity crisis turning into a solvency crisis, and a global recession becoming a global depression.
Ministers and governors have worked as well to deliver international financial assistance to the developing countries. Our actions today include a G20 initiative to suspend debt service payments for the poorest countries. All bilateral official creditors will participate in this initiative, which is an important milestone for the G20. The multilateral development banks are also expected to further explore the options for their participation in this initiative. And through this platform, I also call on private creditors, working through the Institute of International Finance, to participate in this initiative on comparable terms.
In addition, our collective actions today resulted in a comprehensive IMF financial support package and implementing urgently the support proposed by the WBG and the Multilateral Development Banks, amounting to USD200 billion. Ministers and Governors have also taken exceptional measures to develop bilateral swap lines and repo facilities by central banks.
I would like to conclude by reiterating my gratitude to the international community for the commitment, the spirit of cooperation and solidarity that everyone has demonstrated to date, to collectively respond to the global challenge presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. I remain optimistic that by continuing to work together, continuing to assess, protect and rebuild, we will overcome the crisis and come out of this with a strong recovery, more united, more resilient, and better prepared to address any future shocks.

Besoccer - Iran got off to a dream start in the Asian Cup but ahead of Saturday's meeting with Vietnam, Saman Ghoddos is playing down expectations.
Saman Ghoddos insists Iran are not allowing themselves to think of lifting the Asian Cup even after their sensational start to the tournament.
Carlos Queiroz's men - the highest-ranked of the 24 nations involved in the competition - face Vietnam on Saturday on the back of a 5-0 thrashing of Yemen in their opening Group D fixture.
Amiens forward Ghoddos rounded off the scoring in that rout as Iran delivered a performance to underline their credentials in many people's eyes as favourites to add to their three titles.
That trio of crowns arrived in successive tournaments in the 1960s and 70s, but Ghoddos believes it is far too early in this year's event to start dreaming of possible glory for the current generation.
"That's not a thought in our minds right now, because it's a long tournament and it's tough games," Ghoddos said.
"We're just looking forward to the next game, and right now that's Vietnam. That's important for us, to just think about the next game and not think too many steps in front.
"To be honest I haven't watched the other games, just to keep focused on my own game, so I don't know the level yet.
"The coach and his team have analysed them and we have watched some videos. It's a good team, all respect to them. However, we are going to play our game and we are not thinking so much about the other team."
Victory at Abu Dhabi's Al Nahyan Stadium will secure qualification to the last 16 for Iran, who stand 71 places above their opponents in the FIFA rankings.
Vietnam's tournament got off to a heart-breaking start on Tuesday as they led twice before conceding a 90th-minute winner to a fine free-kick from Iraq's Ali Adnan.
Head coach Park Hang-seo spoke of his immense pride at that display, but the South Korean was under no illusions as to the test that awaits his players on Saturday.
"Hopefully we'll try to play better against Iran in the next game even though they are a much stronger opponent," he said.
The striker netted Vietnam's second goal against Iraq and against tougher opponents in Iran, one expects he will have to make the most of any half-chances that come his way if his side are to avoid falling to successive defeats.
The Al-Gharafa forward was the star of the win over Yemen, scoring twice and laying on an assist for Sardar Azmoun. Iran will hope he can recreate that performance as they look to secure their place in the knockout stages.
- This will be the first encounter at the Asian Cup between Vietnam and Iran.
- Vietnam have lost their last three Asian Cup games, conceding nine goals. They were unbeaten in their first two Asian Cup games (W1 D1), conceding just once.
- Iran have won each of their last eight Asian Cup group-stage matches – a win against Vietnam will see the nation hold the outright record for successive group-stage wins.
- Vietnam's defeat to Iraq in their 2019 Asian Cup opener was their first defeat in 19 international matches (W9 D9), with their previous loss coming in December 2016 against Indonesia.
- Iran have conceded just one goal in their last eight Asian Cup games in the group stages, keeping a clean sheet in each of the previous six.

Daniel Orme (1766–1837) was an English artist, publisher and official Historical Engraver to George III and the Prince of Wales, the future George IV.

Early life
Orme was born in Manchester in 1766, the second of six children born to Aaron Orme (1707-82) a fustian manufacturer and his third wife, Margaret Walmsley (1739-1808). A portrait of Aaron by Joseph Wright survives, naming him as the Master of the Cheshire Fox Hounds.

Orme's father encouraged his interest in an artistic career. Two of Orme's younger brothers, Edward and William were also artists, his brother Robert was a solicitor for the British East India Company.

Career
Orme entered the Royal Academy Schools in London in on 7 March 1785, where he studied for several years, competing for the Royal Academy Gold Medal in 1788.

Orme began work as en etcher, but also worked as a painter, painting portraits and miniatures. His main output was as an engraver and publisher however, producing a large number of historical, topographical and ornamental prints. Orme is particularly known for his images of contemporary military heroes, including Captain John Hunter, Admiral Richard Howe and Horatio Nelson. He has two paintings in the National Maritime Museum.

Orme exhibited eleven portraits at the Royal Academy between 1797 and 1801. He and his brother Edward worked together on several occasions, printing and publishing each other's work. He also worked with the American born artist Mather Brown over several years.

In October 1814 Orme returned to Manchester, where he gave lessons drawing, etching and oil painting and continued to work as a portrait painter. He exhibited a work at the first exhibition of the Royal Manchester Institution, a portrait entitled 'William Butterworth, the Oldham Hermit', in 1827.

He sketched himself and one of his daughters attending an archery day held at the Duke of Devonshire's residence in Derbyshire, Chatsworth, in 1823. Orme was "...on the spot for the express purpose.." of capturing the events and people in attendance.

In 1814 Orme was held for a time in Fleet Prison for unpaid debts, as recorded in The London Gazette.

Orme died at Buxton in Derbyshire in 1837 and was survived by Ann.

BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Breastfeeding At what age do you think a child should wean?
Re: At what age do you think a child should wean?
JanZeiger
I CAN RELATE. I also was one of the first ones to breastfeed in my family. I formula fed my first and breastfed my second.  It's been amazing!!!  GOOD LUCK!! The breastfeeding editor here has some great articles and links.
No one in my familiy breastfed, so I'll be the "odd" one, but I can hold them off too. [/quote]

Why do I think what?
I feel that there's a practical age at which to stop breastfeeding and too me when a kid can stroll up to you, climb into your lap, and say "mommy, I want some milk" they're too old to be still breastfeeding. Don't get me wrong, though, my philosophy in life is "live and let live". If someone wants to breastfeed until their kid is 18 year old, I won't be the one to tell them they're weird or anything (even though I'd think it! LOL).
We journey now into the unknown. Does anyone have a map?
I was just wondering why you said that because I have found that most who think toddlers shouldn't nurse are basing that on cultural norms and what their familiar with rather than on what's best for the child.
Research supports "extended" nursing which in this country is called extended when it's actually not. I'm certainly not trying to convince you but wanted to make sure accurate info was out there in case anyone has a baby nearing the age of one who is still an avid nurser. My little one is 17 months and I'm delighted she's still nursing for health reasons. Also, weaning her (not doing child-led weaning) would be traumatic for her. If she's still nursing, then it's still a need for her emotionally in addition to being nutritious. Did you know the milk your body produces for your toddler is different from the milk a new baby gets? It's amazing how the body adjusts and produces milk that's perfect for a baby over the age of 1.
Why Nurse Past a Year?
http://www.kellymom.com/bf/bfextended/index.html
I didn't nurse my first and my goal with my second was one year.  I had no idea I'd make it this far!! I hope to make it to 2 years as the World Health Organization recommends. We'll see how it goes.
Just sharing info. I know everyone has their own feelings about the issue. I just hate to see babes weaned because of tradition (few American babes are nursed even to 12 months).
DrGwenn
Cultural norms are important and based on the world we live in. I, too, think that when a child can ask for milk it is time to wean. Most toddlers get more pacifier benefit from nursing once they are on a full diet than nutritional benefit.
But, I strongly feel that there is room for variations and if longer breastfeeding is working for a child and parent, I don't intervene. Most kids end up weaning themselve once they start preschool.
Most toddlers become so headstrong they eventually wean themselves. Our role as moms is to respect that and let them move on.

I'm not the "odd man out" in my family. Everyone for generations has breast fed--poorer families breast fed, wealthier families bottle fed in generations past. No biggie.
I would have taken it to a full year, but not past. I don't believe in either bottle or breast past a year. BUt that's my preference and I don't push it on anyone.

Kid #1 nursed weeks before I gave up
Kid #2 nursed for 5 months, supplemented/nursed until 2
Kid #3 weaned for good just after her 3rd birthday this past spring (I encouraged her to stop, I admit it!)
Kid #4 nursed exclusively for 9 months, supplemented until 13 months
Kid #5 on the way
I was pregnant and nursing 2 kids at one point, that was a bit much on me.
I say let the kid wean, if you are lucky enough to be in a position as I am where the kid can be with you 24/7.
If a kid walks up to you and asks to nurse, be happy, you know what they want and aren't crying
I dont know why people get so upset when they see a toddler or preschooler nursing. 1, it's not their kid. 2, the kid can't cry/shout/tantrum when they are nursing. 3, it's not their boob. 4, it's not their life.
The World is Our Classroom!
I'm surprised to see an MD saying there are no nutritional benefits to a toddler nursing. Wow. Also, children are verbal at different ages. My baby could sign for milk at 8 months. I certainly wouldn't have weaned her for that reason. I have a friend who's baby could say it at 8 months. Based on the rule of being able to ask for it, he should have weaned too.
It's obvious that I'll be the minority on this thread too so I'd better just stop responding and stick with the natural parenting boards.

Cultural norms are important if you care what others think about you and if you are afraid of being labeled �odd�. However cultural norms are based on and developed by people who may be unenlightened. Cultural norms, thankfully, are continuously challenged by the smart and savvy. In the Victorian era for example, it was the �norm� to view an infant�s crawling as beast-like so consequently children where made to stand at a very young age with the support of a contraption made of whalebone. It was also a culturally held belief that sperm curdled breast milk, so in order for the elite to keep their husbands satisfied they hired either a wet nurse or fed their young infants cow�s milk. Both arguably contributed to the high infant mortality rate of the time. These practices, to me seem cruel and I am glad that they are no longer cultural norms. More recently, breastfeeding for any amount of time was against the cultural norm.
It is utter arrogance to think that our present day cultural norms are �right� and should not be challenged. The human race still has a long way to go before we reach perfection.
Weaning a child before he or she is ready due to societal pressures and norms seems unfair and cruel as well. I admit that I may feel slightly awkward seeing a four, five or six year old nursing in public, however, I am not saying that I am completely free from the influence of our norms. Regardless, I nursed my nearly three year old in public occasionally, despite the views of others. Early weaning in this culture as a norm may some day be viewed as equally appalling as putting corsets on infants-as it already is in other cultures.
It is my opinion that we have to attribute all of the progress of the human race to those throughout the centuries who weren�t afraid to breach the cultural norms of their time.
No one should have to breastfeed any longer than they feel comfortable with. But weaning because someone else says its time is ridiculous. Mother and child are the only ones who know when it is the right time to wean.

Thought I'd get my 2 cents in on this...
My first child was weaned at 2. My second still has a little nip (as she calls it) at almost 3, and my newborn...well, as long as possible. It's the most natural, comforting thing in the world, and about so MUCH more than nutrition.

Russia Gives Missiles To Turkey Despite Months Of US Attempts To Stop The Move

Russian cargo planes began delivering missiles to Murted Air Base in Turkey Friday, despite months of attempts by the U.S. to prevent the move.
The decision will require Russian engineers to help build the new system, which could open the opportunity for Russians to become familiar with U.S.-made fighters and create tension within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Reuters reported Friday.
"Three planes were planned for today. As planned, all the aircraft arrived and all activities planned for today have been completed. This process will continue in the coming days," Defense Minister Hulusi Akar told reporters, according to government news agency Anadolu.

"We have had negotiations with China, Russia, the U.S., and France. These negotiations showed us that Russia is the most compatible country," Akar said in reference to Turkey's efforts to build a collection of long-range air and missile defense systems. (RELATED: Erdogan Warns Trump Over Sanctions Talk)
The report from Anadolu explains the U.S. has expressed concern with the lack of compliance between Russian missiles with NATO weapons and has barred Ankara from an F-35 fighter jet program.
The Trump administration also blocked the delivery of an F-35 jet that was set to be shipped to Turkey and threatened sanctions for defying the United States' requests.

"The political ramifications of this are very serious, because the delivery will confirm to many the idea that Turkey is drifting off into a non-Western alternative," Ian Lesser, director of the German Marshall Fund in Brussels, told The New York Times.
"This will create a lot of anxiety and bad feelings inside NATO," he continued. (RELATED: Losing Turkey: How Obama Alienated A Key NATO Ally)
President Donald Trump met with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan at the G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan, on June 29, to discuss Turkey's contract with Russia.
"Now they're saying he's using the S-400 system, which is incompatible with our system, and if you use the S-400 system, Russia and other people can gain access into the genius of the F-35 …. national-security wise," he continued.
Trump said at a later meeting that the contract is "a mess and … not really Erdogan's fault," because it was former President Barack Obama who made it impossible for Turkey to buy its own Patriot missile defense system.

High performance grinding is a process that produces engineering components with a desired surface roughness. The grinding efficiency of vitrified grinding wheels deteriorates as the sharp cutting edges become blunt due to the formation of wear flats. Dressing is essentially a sharpening operation designed to generate a specific topography on the working surface of the grinding wheel. The use of high power lasers is being explored as a non-contact cleaning and dressing technique. In the present study, a high power laser was used to clean metal chips from the surface of the grinding wheel and to dress the wheel by causing phase transformations to occur on the surface of vitrified grinding wheel. Experimental results indicated that laser modified grinding wheels are comparable in performance to conventionally cleaned and dressed grinding wheels.

Taylor Swift, Rihanna & Lady Gaga Among Nominees For Best Original Song At Golden Globes
Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Lady Gaga are among the nominees competing for the Best Original Song award at the 80th Golden Globes.
Rihanna received a nomination for "Lift Me Up" from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Rihanna co-wrote the track with the film's director Ryan Coogler, Ludwig Göransson, who scored the film, and Tems.

The 80th Golden Globe Awards will held on Tuesday, January 10, 2023, at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, and air on NBC and Peacock beginning at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT


When it's grey for days, bring the sun to you. Light therapy is a treatment that uses artificial sun lamps that emit a concentrated dose of UV (ultraviolet) rays. The uses and proven health benefits of UV sun lamps range from aiding various skin conditions such as eczema to treating mood disorders including major depression, postpartum depression and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). According to researchers at the University of Michigan Depression Center in Ann Arbor, sun lamps are most effective if used first thing in the morning. It's important to choose the sun lamp that's right for you as light intensity between lamps vary greatly.
Not enough can be said about the amazing health benefits of cod liver oil. This 'miracle' oil is rich in two essential omega-3 acids: EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), both of which expand the areas in the brain that regulate mood and depression. Though the prospect of eating anything containing the words "cod," "liver," and "oil" may be less than enticing, thankfully it can be consumed in a multitude of ways, including in capsule format. One tablespoon contains 1,300 IUs of vitamin D—more than twice the recommended daily minimum allowance.
According to the National Institutes of Health, the average adult sleeps less than seven hours per night. Unfortunately, this is a recipe for chronic sleep deprivation, a condition that may result in cognitive impairment such as memory loss, decreased alertness, weight gain and various mood disorders including depression. According to the National Sleep Foundation, young adults and adults need seven to nine hours of sleep, and older adults need seven to eight hours of sleep for optimal health, especially in the winter.
Turn off Netflix, throw on your rain boots and take a hike. As little as 15 minutes of exercise a day can help elevate your mood and alleviate the symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD). A 2005 study by Dr. Andrea Dunn in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine discovered that patients who walked for only 35 minutes a day, six days per week experienced a reduction in their depression by as much as 47 per cent! Outdoor exercise is preferable, but if that isn't possible, try to use a cardio machine that is close to a window at the gym.
Not a fan of fish? No problem. Egg yolks are also an egg-cellent (we had to) way to fuel up on vitamins. At about 40 IUs of vitamin D per egg, an egg-based breakfast will help contribute to your daily D requirements. From a basic omelette to a banana egg smoothie, the possibilities of incorporating eggs into your diet are endless.
A fantastic (and delicious) way to stock up on your recommended 600 IUs (international units) of vitamin D is by eating fatty fish. Though cod, trout, mackeral and eel contain relatively high volumes of the nutrient, at 988 IUs of vitamin D per 3.5 ounce serving, wild salmon takes the cake for having the highest amount of vitamin D of all fish. What's especially great about salmon is its versatility in the kitchen. From benedicts to burgers, this wonder food can be incorporated into any meal of the day.

The Life Changing Mango Milkshake for Arjun Rampal!
Much ado has been made about the Arjun Rampal starrer DADDY based on the life of Arun Gawli. From the look of the movie, to the sets that enables one to revisit Mumbai as Bombay to the uncanny similarity between Arjun Rampal and Arun Gawli, Daddy is slated to be one of the most awaited films of 2017. But, what is yet to be known is how the two men, one who is a gangster politician and the other who is an actor, broke the ice and bonded, so much so that Rampal gained the trust of Gawli to give him the rights of the story that is bound to create history.
It happened on a fateful day when Gawli was to sign the contract but he only had two humble conditions before doing so, the first one was that the two men should milk a cow before signing as his last name aptly suggests "Gaw"li is from the family of milkmen and it was considered auspicious to milk a cow before starting anything new. The second and more difficult condition was that Arjun must have a glass of Mango Milkshake. While the latter seems easy, it was surely the most difficult thing for Rampal as he detests Mangoes and has never had them! The trust between the two men and the fact that Arjun readily gulped the mango milkshake offered to him and also milked a cow with him, was more than enough for Gawli to green light Rampal's project. Gawli only said a few words at the time and those were, "Tum Pe Bharosa Hain/I trust you." And that is how DADDY the movie, came into existence!
Wave Cinemas Ponty Chadha in association with Raju Chadha, Karta Entertainment and Kundalini Entertainment present Daddy, releasing on 8th of September 2017.


As Bassmaster Elite Series pro Greg Hackney headed back to Denison Dam at the end of Sunday's fourth and final round of the $700,000 BASSfest on Lake Texoma, he thought he had given it all away.
It being the BASSfest championship trophy, not to mention the winner's $100,000 paycheck and an automatic berth in next spring's Bassmaster Classic on Houston's Lake Conroe.
Despite a solid day of fishing on the slowly receding lake, the loss of a couple of key fish on Sunday had Hackney thinking the bag limit of five bass in his livewell would be close, but not close enough to take one of the sport's most prestigious titles.
"I thought I'd be second or third and I tried to tell myself, well, you've had a good tournament," said Hackney, a Gonzalez, La., resident. "You always try to make yourself feel better (in that situation, even) though you can't."
On a day that saw the 89,000-acre reservoir more than a foot lower than the way that pros left it after Friday's third round, Hackney watched as several other pros went to the weigh-in stage at Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant to take their run at the tournament's final day lead.
And one by one, as the top-12 anglers went to tournament director and weigh-master Trip Weldon's scales, Hackney thought more and more that he'd fall just short in the end.
Especially when Tennessee pro Brandon Card, a former Bassmaster College Series competitor, wowed the crowd with the biggest bag limit of the tournament, a sack of five bass that tipped the scales at 21 pounds, 2 ounces.
"That's impressive that he (Card) caught 21 pounds on a championship day," said Hackney.
But as Card sat on the Championship Day hot seat to see if his weight would be enough, Hackney came to the scales as emcee Dave Mercer revved up the crowd.
As Hackney's five bass finally settled down, the numbers on the scale locked in at 17 pounds, 15 ounces, good enough to give Hack Attack the lead for good, something that he punctuated with a couple of double fist-pumps into the air and a big Cajun yell of excited relief.
When it was all over, Hackney was the angler at the top of the BASSfest standings, holding a four-day total of 20 bass that weighed in at 66 pounds, 2 ounces, nearly 2 pounds better than Card's mark of 64-03.
Alabama pro Gerald Swindle finished in the third pace at 60-06; Chad Morgenthaler finished fourth at 57-09; and Ott DeFoe finished in fifth at 56-11. First and third round leader Casey Ashley was next (56-08), followed by Rick Clunn (56-03); Dean Rojas (56-02); Jordan Lee (54-10); Randall Tharp (54-02); Keith Poche (53-15); and Bradley Roy (53-04) as they rounded out the remainder of the Top 12.
But the day's biggest weigh-in stage showdown was contested between Hackney and Card. Given the seriousness of the day with the horrific terrorist shooting in Florida, Card took his runner-up finish to Hackney in stride.
"Oh man, what a day," said Card, who had been looking for his first-ever BASS win. "It was one of those days that you dream about and I just want to give all of the glory to God.
"And you know, as happy as I am now, my heart is with all of the people in Orlando and I just want to pray for them."
While Card didn't earn his first-ever BASS win, he said he had a great day on the water as he changed things up from the flipping techniques that had carried him during the first three rounds.
"Today was an epic day of topwater fishing," he said. "I grew up fishing walking baits and I just kind of had a hunch (about Sunday) with the cloud cover and the water dropping."
But in the end, Card's big bag limit wasn't quite enough as Hackney prevailed at the weigh-in scale.
"I didn't (even) know what my fish weighed," said Hackney, the 2014 BASS Angler of the Year and the current leader in the 2016 AOY points race. "But this is a big relief."
After weighing in his fish and moving into the Hot Seat, Hackney had to wait as 2004 Angler of the Year Gerald Swindle and 2015 Bassmaster Classic champ Casey Ashley, came to the scales.
But both of those Elite Series pros fell short of Hackney's benchmark, giving him the prestigious big blue trophy that is awarded to the winner of Elite Series events.
Hackney admitted that he had focused on maintaining his points lead all week ong although he did note that on Sunday, he finally allowed himself to start thinking about actually winning the tournament in addition to his solid finish.
"You push hard (in a situation) like this and I did and I was blessed," he smiled.
While Hackney said that he threw a KVD topwater frog a couple of times on Sunday, it was the jig that did most of his damage all week.
"I was really doing a lot of the same (things) that Rick Clunn was doing, following the old bank line, that seemed to be the deal," said Hackney, a Major League Fishing pro and a winner of five BASS events. "All of the shad were staying out. You know, it's that time of the year and they've lost that loving feeling."
Meaning that the shad spawn is all but over on Texoma and the bass have noticed. So had Hackney.
"Even though that water came up big, they don't want to move," he said. "It's getting to be summertime and they want to be in their summertime pattern."
Hackney said that he flipped a Strike King Hack Attack jig all week with a rodent style trailer on the back end to give the bait a faster rate of fall.
"I've (also) been keying on all of the little turns and ditches," he added. "All of the (flooded) bushes look alike (out there) but it was all about (those that were) on the old bank line."
Hack Attack then added: "I would catch some in the back of the drain and some out on the main lake, but the big deal seemed to be when (the drains) made a hard turn."
Added to his two FLW Tour triumphs - a pair of wins that includes the 2009 Forrest Wood Cup championship - and Hackney has now earned more than $3 million in total career earnings.
What's more, he remains the BASS Angler of the Year points leader over Swindle and others as the Elite Series heads north for the second half of the 2016 season.
"Nobody gained any (Angler of the Year) points on me (this week)," smiled Hackney. "That's a big deal, that's what has been driving me honestly."
All in all, it was a perfect ending to a less than perfect week for Hackney as he battled high water, falling water, muddy water and even the summer's first stretch of hot weather.
With such topsy-turvy conditions, this fishing derby was a challenging kind of week that brought sweet victory to Hackney.
"It's been tough out there this week," he said with a big grin. "It's been a grind."
Perhaps so, but no one could tell on Sunday afternoon as the man of the hour on Lake Texoma celebrated the day with one of his career's biggest wins.
Even if Hackney spent most of his final round boat ride back in to the Denison Dam boat ramp thinking otherwise.
