Influencers and mental health advocates debate Instagram's changes to 'likes'
By Maddison Leach| 6 months ago
Instagram recently removed the counter that shows how many likes each photo on the social media platform receives, and the internet has a lot to say about it.
From influencers in tears over the loss of their businesses, to mental health advocates praising the platform for taking a stand, everyone has an opinion on the change.
Jess Eva, who starred on The Block, knows what it's like to be in the public eye, but says that even she is wary of relying on social media for validation.
A post shared by Norm and Jess (@normandjess) on Apr 13, 2019 at 3:13pm PDT
"Let's not get up on our high horses and go 'oh you know, if you validate yourself on social media you're just vain,' because we've all been sucked into it from time to time," Eva told A Current Affair.
"[But] if I got to a stage where I validated my life with how many likes I got, I reckon I'd probably have to look at getting a life."
But many of her friends who are also in the influencer sphere have been devastated by the loss of likes, as they fear it will impact their ability to make money through the platform.
A post shared by Jessie (@jess.eva.here) on Mar 9, 2019 at 5:04pm PST
Many businesses reach out to influencers to promote their products, providing money and freebies in exchange for the social media exposure.
It's an industry model Jordan Simek is familiar with, having partnered with countless brands to share content with her 117,000 Instagram followers and boost her income.

Influencers can make up to thousands of dollars per sponsored post, and many feel that this is the real reason why Instagram has now hidden the number of likes they're raking in.
"When they removed the likes, there was a massive, massive uproar with a lot of people that I knew," Simek revealed.

Most influencers use the number of likes they receive on their posts to show businesses how marketable they are and prove that they're getting high user engagement, making Instagram's new move a major issue.
Marketing expert Lynda Schenk explained that this would make it easier for Instagram to sell sponsored posts, allowing them to profit more from influencers, and keep information like engagement numbers internal.
But according mental health advocate and avid Instagrammer Abby Gilmore, that doesn't discount the benefits of removing like counts.
"Coming in from a mum perspective… I don't want [my daughters] to be seeking validation of likes, I don't want them to post a picture and wonder if it's good enough for others," said Gilmore, who boasts 109,000 followers herself.

A post shared by ABBY GILMORE (@abbgilmore) on Jul 21, 2019 at 8:53pm PDT
She regularly posts about mental health and says that this new change could help people who struggle with social media addiction and seeking validation online, even though there's been some major backlash.
"I kind of take my hat off to Instagram for initiating it," she said.
"Whether it lasts or not, it's created the conversation, so I like that."

August 28, 2020 August 28, 2020 Carl Robert Keyes Daily Advert UpdateAddison Richardson, Advert Responding to Advert, Essex Gazette, Joseph Hobbs, Joseph Hobbs Jr., Joseph Symonds, Runaway Apprentice, Samuel Hobbs
Essex Gazette (August 28, 1770).
"Still believing the former Piece to be more agreeable to Truth than the latter."
When Joseph Symonds, Joseph Hobbs, and Joseph Hobbs, Jr., placed an advertisement in the August 28, 1770, edition of the Essex Gazette, they depended on readers being familiar with a series of advertisements that previously appeared in that newspaper. In the first, Addison Richardson accused "an Apprentice Lad, named Samuel Hobbs" of running away and taking a box "containing sundry Articles of Cloathing." Richardson had already recovered the box. He warned others "to be very cautious in having any Concern" with the apprentice.
In an unusual turn of events, Hobbs placed his own advertisement to respond. Usually runaways either did not have the resources to respond in print or chose not to draw additional attention to themselves by doing so. Hobbs, however, sought to set the record straight, declaring that he "was not bound" to Richardson or "under any Obligation to live with him any longer than we could agree," that the box and most of its contents did not belong to Richardson, and that his purported master had not treated him well during "almost five Years Service." Symonds, Hobbs, and Hobbs, all relations of the alleged runaway, signed a short addendum stating that they believed the young man's account to be "real Truth" and encouraged that "the Publick will take no Notice."
In turn, Richardson published yet another advertisement, this time masquerading as "SA——EL H—BBS." That notice paralleled the format of the one placed by Hobbs, offering an alternate version of events that corrected what Richardson considered inaccuracies in the clarifications that Hobbs offered the public. Richardson-as-H—BBS also pointed out that "two Uncles and a Brother" of the apprentice might not be the most reliable witnesses in the dispute. In order to continue the parallel format, he concluded the advertisement with a short declaration about having "Reason to believe the Piece above to be real Truth" and signed it "A. RICHARDSON."
Two weeks later, Symonds, Hobbs, and Hobbs placed an advertisement of their own accord. Just in case any readers were confused about whether Samuel Hobbs was responsible for the notice signed by SA——EL H—BBS, they proclaimed that it "was not put in by him, for he did not know any Thing of it." They also reported that some accommodation had been reached: Mr. Richardson hath returned the Box, with what was in it, and offered to cloath [Hobbs] honorably if he will come and live with him again." Seeing this as a satisfactory outcome, the uncles and brother decided to "forbear, and say no more," though they opined that Richardson would "be very cautious how he advertises Runaways for the future." As a parting shot, they stated that the advertisement by the real Hobbs was "more agreeable to Truth" than the one by Richardson-as-H—BBS, "and not merely because the Boy told us so neither." Even after accommodation had been reached, these three men sought to clarify which version of events was more accurate.
Buying space in the local newspaper gave Richardson, Hobbs, and Hobbs's relations opportunities to shape the narrative of what transpired between master and apprentice in the summer of 1770. Rather than working out their disagreements among themselves, they put their dispute on display before the general public, each attempting to convince the community that they were in the right and someone else behaved poorly. These advertisements amplified gossip and word-of-mouth reports of the discord between Hobbs and Richardson.

"The history of the slave trade tells not only of the suffering endured but also of the ultimately victorious struggle for freedom and human rights, symbolized by the slave uprising in Saint-Domingue on the night of 22 to 23 August 1791," said UNESCO's director-general, Irina Bokova, in a message to mark the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition.
This year's Day commemorated the 210th anniversary of Haiti's independence and the 20th anniversary of UNESCO's educational and cultural programme, the Slave Route Project, a pioneering project that has helped to accelerate research and raise awareness of the history of slavery and its consequences.
UNESCO's educational and cultural programmes and support for historical research are intended to highlight the wealth of the traditions that African peoples have forged in the face of adversity – in art, music, dance and culture in its broader sense, creating indissoluble ties between peoples and continents and irreversibly transforming the face of society.
This heritage is invaluable for living in peace in our globalized world on the eve of the International Decade for People of African Descent (2015-2024)," said Bokova, adding that transmission of this history is an essential condition for any lasting peace based on mutual understanding among peoples and full awareness of the dangers of racism and prejudice.
"It also helps us to continue mobilizing against modern forms of slavery and trafficking in human beings that still affect more than 20 million people worldwide," she said.
Bokova noted that UNESCO is contributing actively towards the design of a Permanent Memorial to and Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade, to be established at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
"I call on all member states and partners of UNESCO, in schools, universities, the media, museums and places of memory, to mark this International Day and redouble their efforts to ensure that the role played by slaves in winning recognition of universal human rights is better known and taught more widely," she said.


TEHRAN — In a letter to the minister of interior, Tehran mayor put in a request for a total budget of 25 trillion rials (nearly $600 million) for renovation of public transportation fleet in the capital, YJC reported on Monday.
One of the main Municipality's plans is to raise funds through projects, Tehran Mayor Mohammad Ali Afshani said.
"We have demanded the Ministry of Interior to earmark a budget of 20 trillion rials (nearly $475 million) for the public transport fleet and some 5 trillion rials (about $125 million) for subway development," he added.
Moreover, Mohsen Pourseyyed Aqaei, deputy mayor of Tehran for traffic and transport affairs, said on Sunday that in order to implement a 4-year plan to address Tehran persistent air pollution, government should allocate some $2 billion, which seems unlikely considering the current economic hardships the country is facing.
Tehran's governor general Mohammad Hossein Moqimi also said on Sunday that some 5,000 new buses should be added to Tehran transport fleet, otherwise air pollution will not be tackled effectively.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Tehran is one of the most air polluted cities in the world, which is ranked 12th among 26 megacities in terms of ambient PM10 levels. In 2016, the annual ambient level of PM10 was estimated at 77 micrograms per cubic meter, which is almost four times the WHO's recommended threshold of 20 micrograms per cubic meter.
Tehran's air pollutants are not limited to particulate matter less than 10 micrometers in diameter (PM 10), but O3 and PM 2.5, which are mainly emitted by cars and have made the capital's residents breathe foul air even during hot summer days.
Although, cars are the most plentiful vehicles in Tehran, heavy-duty vehicles including buses and trucks are the most polluting ones accounting for 85 percent of the air pollution in the city.


There is nothing like the perfect summer day. Not to hot, a cool breeze, the perfect blue sky and breakfast plans. We could not have asked for a more perfect morning, so there was no other place for breakfast than, The Beachcomber.
It is a bit of a hike to get to The Beachcomber. There is a trolly you can take down to the beach area but, I prefer to walk the trail to the beach and take the trolly ride back up to my car, once my belly is full.
While you wait for your table there are several picnic tables to sit at. I think Sandra is right! Each picnic table has a different name and saying on it.
I ordered the Ranch Scramble. Scrambled eggs with bacon, portuguese sausage, peppers, onions, cheddar cheese and salsa. This was so yummy I didn't want to share.
The Farmers Market Frittata was also excellent. But, I think I like my ranch scramble much more! We were both being good, fruit, not potatoes on the side.
I love the history of this beach, in the 1920's many silent movies were filmed here. There are pictures of the cove as early as 1917. Filmmakers picked this spot for its tropical look. For many years, residence of the cove used thatch palms to emulate the look of Tahiti, to help filmmakers needs.
If you are in the Orange County, Ca area, this is a restaurant you don't want to miss. Make sure you have plenty of time to enjoy the view!
**This was not a sponsored post. It's just really delicious & has a great view!

Q: 'an' or 'a' before the word 'user'? We learn in English grammar class to use 'a' before words starting with consonants and 'an' before words starting with vowels.
Since for the word 'user' which starts with a vowel, are we supposed to use 'an' or 'a'.
'A user' feels more meaningful than 'an user'.
Which is the correct usage?

A: It is not so much the letter that matters; it primarily depends on the initial sound of the word which is directly preceded by the article. The noun user is phonetically [ˈjuː.zə] or [ˈjuː.zəɹ]. So we see that it starts with [j] which is generally considered to be a consonant sound. Therefore we should say and write a user and not "an user" since we use "a" before a word which begins with a consonantal sound.

Low pay and high pay in Ireland
By Michael Hennigan, Finfacts founder and editor
Mar 1, 2015 - 7:01 AM
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) reported last year that the US and Ireland had the highest percentage of low pay jobs in the developed world.
The think-tank for 34 mainly developed country governments categorises "low-paying" as jobs that earn less than two-thirds of a country's median income (mid point of population or sample where half are above and half below) — on average, around 16% of jobs in OECD countries are considered low-paying.
The ratio in the US was 25%; Ireland was at 22%, the UK at 21%. Switzerland and Finland had rates below 10%.
Employees in Northern Ireland are among the lowest paid in the UK — with some earning more than 80% less for doing exactly the same job as their peers elsewhere.
On Thursday, just a day ahead of the opening of the Labour Party's annual conference, the Government launched a new Low Pay Commission to examine the rate of the national minimum wage.
The commission will report back to the Government by mid-July, with annual reports from then on.
Eurostat, the EU's statistics office, reported also on Thursday on monthly minimum wage levels across Europe.
It said for those countries where the national minimum wage is not fixed at a monthly rate (i.e. Germany, Ireland, France, Malta, the United Kingdom and the United States) the level of the minimum wage is converted into a monthly rate according to a standard number of hours worked per month that may differ across countries.
The 22 EU member states that have national minimum wages can be divided into three main groups based on the level in euro. In January 2015, ten member states had minimum wages below €500 per month: Bulgaria (€184), Romania (€218), Lithuania (€300), the Czech Republic (€332), Hungary (€333), Latvia (€360), Slovakia (€380), Estonia (€390), Croatia (€396) and Poland (€410). In five other member states , minimum wages were between €500 and €1,000 per month: Portugal (€589), Greece (€684), Malta (€720), Spain (€757) and Slovenia (€791).
In the remaining seven member states, minimum wages were well above €1,000 per month: the United Kingdom (€1,379), France (€1,458), Ireland (€1,462), Germany (€1,473), Belgium and the Netherlands (both €1,502) and Luxembourg (€1,923).
For comparison, the federal minimum wage in the United States was just over €1,000 per month (€1,035) in January 2015.
Shaun Connolly of the Irish Examiner commented on Saturday on the launch of the Low Pay Commission in Dublin:
It's a bit rich of Mr Kenny to launch a commission on low pay when his salary is €185,000 a year, or €3,500 a week, which is more than the leaders of the much larger Britain and France earn
It was Enda Kenny's Marie Antoinette moment. Reality and regality diverged as the taoiseach showed how out of touch he is with the people he aspires to lead.
Launching a low-pay commission, Mr Kenny was asked by the Irish Examiner if there was scope to further cut the salary of the taoiseach, or if he was worth the €3,500 a week we pay him. He replied: "Very much so."
So, there you have it, our very own L'Oreal Taoiseach, paid more than the leaders of Britain or France — because he's worth it."
Irish public service pay cuts began in 2009 but differentials remain high while in contrast with members of the Oireachtas (parliament), the typical SME firm employee has no occupational pension, is on low pay and can only expect basic redundancy compensation.
It's not surprising that politicians who can get a pension of 50% of pay after 20 years ignore a reality that Ireland and New Zealand have the worst occupational pension coverage in the developed world — see here.
Dr Richard Boyle of the Institute of Public Administration wrote in a 2011 report on public pay levels:
Comparing compensation levels at the different grades, there is a distinct difference that emerges between Ireland and the UK and the Nordic countries of Finland, Denmark and Sweden. The Nordic countries have a much flatter compensation structure (particularly Finland and Sweden), whereas the UK and Ireland have opted for higher compensation at the higher levels. On average, top managers compensation in the UK and Ireland is 7.7 times that of secretaries whereas for the Nordic countries top managers compensation is 3.5 times that of secretaries. Similarly middle managers compensation is 4.15 times that of secretaries in the UK and Ireland and 2.20 times greater in the Nordic countries."
A 2013 ranking by the Economist shows that the basic pay of Irish politicians is better than that of UK and Swedish counterparts.
It was also reported in 2013 that some 3,000 European Union civil servants earn more than Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte's gross salary of €144,108 (including €7,887.24 expenses), according to Dutch social affairs ministry figures.
The Daily Telegraph reported last May that more than one in five European Union officials takes home more than David Cameron gets from his £142,000 salary, leaked documents show.
The eurocrats get special living allowances and are subject to a special 13.4% tax rate.
Not exactly austerity!
The expenses of Irish politicians are eye-watering compared with their Swedish counterparts.
The Irish Independent reported last November that members of Dáil Éireann (TDs) pocketed an average of €147,000 in expenses and allowance payments each since the General Election in early 2011 but only one in 10 of them are asked to provide receipts. It says Labour's Eamonn Maloney does not claim expenses — and he admits to being criticised by colleagues over his stance.
The basic pay of a member of Dáil Éireann is €87,258. A member of Sweden's Riksdag is paid SEK 61,000 per month or €78,000 annually.
The annual travel & accommodation allowances for TDs range from €9,000 per annum for Dublin based TDs to €34,065 per annum for those living 360 km or more from Leinster House.
Journeys made by members of the Riksdag within the framework of their official duties are regarded as official journeys. Members living more than 50 kilometres from the Riksdag are entitled to reimbursement of up to SEK 8000/month for overnight accommodation in Stockholm. This is about €10,300 annually. Members are entitled to an annual season-ticket on the Swedish State Railways; where use of a car is necessary, costs are normally reimbursed at the rate of SEK 26.50 per 10 kilometres, of which SEK 18.50 are exempt from tax.
The annual salary of the Spanish prime minister is €78,000.
Ireland is not a wealthy country and is among the poorer countries of the Euro Area.
German per capita standard of living highest in Europe; Ireland below EU average
We are not suggesting that politicains and senior policy makers should be near breadline levels but when the majority of the private sector workforce have only pension entitlement to less than a third of average national earnings at the age of 66, a better balance is required.
Of course the situation has improved from the crazy years of the Celtic Tiger when lawyers who were public contractors working on corruption tribunals became multi euro millionaires — see Page 16 of a 2011 Public Accounts Committee report on what happened when a civil servant at the Department of the Taoiseach made a clerical error in a letter on daily fees for the lawyers!
Despite a commitment to reform legal services in the 2010 bailout agreement, the Government has been in office 4 years but it has yet to have the courage to push through significant legal services reform.

I've always been a creative person and had a natural talent for art based hobbies, but this interest never really developed until I went to college. I had originally started at Kutztown University with the idea that I wanted to be an art teacher, but this changed as soon as I had my first taste of a wood design class and fine metals course. From then on I knew that I found what I was really meant to do with myself. I graduated from Kutztown with a degree in crafts with a concentration in furniture design, but throughout my four and a half years I had also taken plenty of fine metals courses. So I'd say I came away with a very proficient knowledge in both areas.
After graduation I set up a small metals workbench in the basement of my Dads house, I dabbled with making "normal" jewelry and even threw around the idea that I'd get into making off-beat bride type jewelry for weddings after going to a few wedding expos with friends. But within this same timeframe I started going to anime, video game, and comic conventions and saw that there was a real lack of fine craft type items. This pushed me to finally get into what I'm doing and loving to do now, making items that I like and that interest me.
I draw inspiration from all sorts of different fandoms, video games, comics, tv series, movies, etc.

The Third Mansion, the third stage, is what's called mature friendship. Now our spiritual life is well-regulated. It's well-ordered; we've been around the block spiritually a bit, we know where the pitfalls are and understand what it means to stay on track. We've picked up and we've learned a lot along the way.
Spiritual foundations have been laid. There is the practice of discipline, what the classical tradition calls mortification and penance, the desire to learn and grow in the things of God, especially prayer and meditation, and we also have an active life of charity. One is involved in some kind of service, some kind and giving of ourselves. It doesn't necessarily have to be formally at the parish as a Catechist, Lector, or Eucharistic Minister. There's some kind of gift of giving of myself on a regular basis.
The person acknowledges prayer now not simply as one of petition when in need, or for one's own consolation, but prayer becomes a daily necessity for the battle of life. There is a renewed vigor, initiative, and longing of the soul. In other words, by this time, attendance at Sunday Mass is no longer enough. Daily mass becomes almost a necessity. We desire to attend prayer groups, retreats, days of recollection, and we consecrate our lives to God in a renewed way.
All of this becomes very important, and we not only want to turn to the heart of God in a renewed way, but to belong, be united and bound to the heart of God. For this reason, in this stage of the Third Mansion, people start to seek to belong to groups like the (Secular) Order of Discalced Carmelites, the Third Order, confraternities, and that kind of thing; religious vocations and holy marriages come from this third stage.
Some of these thoughts are collected, not verbatim, but collected from Father William Wagner, as part of the website, Opus Angelerum. Part of this mature friendship is a well-regulated spiritual life, which means a good moral life. One is consciously, carefully avoiding the sin, not only mortal sin of course, but including venial sin. One is actively, conscientiously putting one's best foot forward. We become very aware of venial sin, and it becomes very important for us to it.
That was the positive. On the other side of the proverbial coin, now the other side, the predominant faults of people in the Third Mansion are hidden in the sight of others. People don't see the faint faults of people in the Third Mansion. People are not necessarily committing sin by deliberate actions or living a double life.
The predominant faults are mostly in the thought life of the person, in the thought life. What does that look like? – criticizing others, being very harsh in our judgment of other people, easily scandalized by other people's thoughts when they're not as holy as you would expect or want them to be, becoming easily scrupulous, often times of spiritual things, complaining.
One of many favorites from St. John of the Cross is spiritual gluttony. Spiritual gluttony can be understood in different ways. For instance, 'I no longer have an addiction to shopping for fashion, but I have an addiction to shopping for rosaries and Catholic books and movies; it's never enough. I always have to have the next best picture of our Blessed Mother and then my house is full of statues because I just can never have enough. Spiritual gluttony is about always wanting to collect and have these sense consolations.
Also in this stage could be gossip. Gossip is a tricky thing because it's such a slippery slope. For example, I could start off saying something very pious like 'Oh, let's pray for this person and let me tell you why we need to pray for this person.' And you go way more into detail than you need to, and without intending to, because of that going back and forth, you can easily spiral away into gossip more than it is concern for the soul.
One of the practical boundaries in checking ourselves and making sure we don't slip into that, is the question 'Would I say this in his presence? Would I say this if he were right behind me? Would I say this if this was being recorded and he or she would hear it?' That is always a good test in regards to watching what we say.
Another fault in the Third Mansion is jealousy of other people's spiritual gifts, subtly seeking's ambition, wanting to be the Formation Director, wanting to be on the Council, wanting these positions of authority or prestige. It' not that those positions are bad but as Saint John of the Cross would say, it's the desire for them, when we want them – that's not a good sign.
One of the remedies to get us out of these kinds of mental knots is to remember that it's not all about you. We can easily get stuck in ourselves.


The Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) will increase its promotion of Abu Dhabi as an international destination in 2010. ADTA will showcase Abu Dhabi at destination pavilions at 20 overseas fairs next year including the emerging markets of Malaysia, Spain, and India. This is three more fairs than ADTA participated in last year. The authority is discounting participation fees for emerging markets by between 11% and 50%.
ADTA International Promotions Manager said Trade and Consumer shows are important tools for generating business, but "They are particularly important forums for emerging destinations such as ours which are building awareness and forging new partnerships." Mubarak Al Nuami said India is proving to be a significant market for Abu Dhabi, with 44,991 of its nationals staying in hotels in the emirate for the first nine months of the year. However, Al Nuami said that research shows there is relatively little awareness in India of Abu Dhabi as a tourism destination, especially among the rapidly increasing upper-middle class.


When television was young in central Illinois, you had just a handful of channels to pick from. Depending on your location and antenna, you might pick up an out-of-town signal but you were basically restricted to major network offerings.
Then came cable where a trickle of stations turned into a flood. Satellite receivers also deliver a large number of choices. That left the antenna crowd high and dry for the most part. But in the digital age there's something of a renaissance going on with more over-the-air channels than ever.
WMBD-TV Channel 31 plans to add Bounce TV to the local digital scene at 31.2, starting on Sept. 26. Bounce is programmed for African-American audiences with a mix of movies, sports events, documentaries, faith-based programs and some original offerings.
Other side channels include Country Network (43.3), CoolTV, another music station (43.2) and Weather First (25.2).
You've also got two additional public TV stations in addition to WTVP-TV Channel 47: World (47.2) and Create (47.3).
Mark DeSantis, WEEK GM, said the station is considering adding at least one more channel with details to be announced later.
Considering the fact that across the nation, one in three TV sets is picking up signals over the air, there's a market for all this variety. One wonders what or if there's a tipping point that will push people away from monthly subscriptions to cable and satellite firms to go back to "free" TV.

Late last year I worked with Veronica Montano from Major Model Management, New York (winner of Top Model Latina). After shooting the catalog she put on a few looks and we shot natural light in front of a studio window in order to make some image shots. The client was quite happy… and so was the agency. The photo is the lead image on her online portfolio and on the front of her comp card! Hair and makeup by the talented Veronika Robova.

Do you have what it takes to be a Validation Consultant?
When our Delta recruiting team speaks to new candidates, they are often asked, "What is the difference between a Validation Consultant and a Validation Engineer/Specialist at my current biopharma company?" This is an important question to ponder because consulting is not for everyone. The importance of having the self awareness to know whether or not consulting work is the right fit for you cannot be overlooked.
1. Do I Have the Technical Skills?
Never forget that as a consultant you (and your firm) are being paid to bring skills and expertise that the client organization does not possess. This position requires a strong technical background to "sell" to the prospective client and add value to their project. Relevant skills include commissioning and qualification experience, protocol development and timely execution, temperature mapping studies, cleaning validation, data integrity risk assessments, technical writing, validation planning, and so on. Your purpose is to provide expertise and knowledge, and the client doesn't allocate resources to providing training on the basic fundamentals. You must identify and refine your core capabilities and bring those to your clients' projects.
Understand that your success as a consultant requires the ability to roll up your sleeves and help the client however you can – and in that, you can find ample opportunity to learn new skills and round out your technical expertise. You may be at a client site as a technical writer developing validation protocols, but the client is shorthanded one day and needs help performing executions associated with a protocol you authored. This would present you with an excellent opportunity to gain some hands-on experience and also show the client you can play multiple roles within their project team.
Note: A willingness to help out in other areas can lead to expanded skills and success; but this needs to be approached carefully. Don't take on additional tasks until you've completed all of your assignments in your current scope of work. Your client should approve this support in advance. It may be nice that you helped with an unassigned task, but you'll have a very unhappy sponsor if that unassigned task delayed the critical tasks within your scope of work.
Ultimately the more diverse your skill set and expertise, the more likely you will be to land higher visibility projects. For more information, read Adrienn Prezenszki's excellent article on technical skill sets for Validation work.
2. Do I Have the Soft Skills?
Key soft skills that will allow you to thrive as a consultant include learning agility and intellectual curiosity (are you constantly learning new skills and asking questions?), personal integrity (adhere to the cGMPs so that you can assess if a request or activity represents a possible violation), a value-centered mindset (the client is paying a lot of money for your time, so every billable hour should clearly bring value to the client), flexibility (different doesn't necessarily mean wrong so be open to new approaches where they make sense), and PMA – positive mental attitude.
Establishing trust with the client is one of the most important factors to be considered, as it can be very difficult to re-establish a good report with your coworkers if that relationship is compromised. It is also important to note that your behavior, attitude, and willingness to take on additional responsibilities above and beyond your assigned day-to-day tasks is often considered to be a direct reflection of the company you represent.
3. What's My Preferred Lifestyle?
One person's stability and predictability is another person's stifling boredom. In-house employment with the client can often lead to greater certainty, but the flip side of this may mean being siloed in a singular function with limited opportunities for growth and fewer project-related roles to diversify your skills. There's no right or wrong choice, but you must understand and recognize what is important to you, your career, and the lifestyle you choose to pursue.
Consulting can be exciting and rewarding, as you can travel to different parts of the world and learn an incredible amount in a short period of time. You mustn't overlook the realities of long periods away from home and perpetually feeling like a "visitor" at your client's work site, however; consulting with the right employer can lead to fast career advancement and put you in greater control of your professional development.
At Delta Project Management, we pride ourselves on the quality of our service to our clients, the professional excellence of our staff, and our reputation for consistently delivering project success. We empower our consultants with challenging projects, and allow them to identify specific skills they would like to strengthen and develop and also travel to new geographies they would like to experience. As you consider a career in consulting, keep in mind that your thoughts will change depending on where you are in your professional and personal life.
If Validation Consulting is still attractive to you after giving some serious thought to the points listed above, feel free to apply to our current openings or reach out directly to us. We are always looking for talented and driven people with the right mix of expertise and personality, as we're expanding our diverse portfolio of clients where you can grow your career.

Jennie, a mother, tells the story of her daughter Lizzie and her development as a reader.
Lizzie is two and a half and enjoys books but often finds listening to a whole story difficult unless it's bed time and her focus is helped by cuddles and milk. She loves bedtime stories but often requests the same book night after night (her current record is the same book for three weeks and counting). We have tried reading more than one book at bed time; my choice and her choice, going to the library to choose books together and buying books in areas of her interest but she seems to like the predictability of a known story or information book.
We encourage her to choose books when we play and she has books in her room, the living room and our room so we can always access them easily and always try and have books and cuddles in the morning before we get up properly. She often asks for books during the day as she knows this is quality focus me and her time, unlike playing time where suddenly I may get up and go and empty the dishwasher! She is also enjoying rediscovering some of her favourite early baby books with her nine month old brother and often shows him the feely parts or how to use the flaps.
When we read during the day she often gets distracted, turns the pages too quickly or goes off and does something else. When she was younger we often just looked at the books together as she couldn't sit still long enough to focus on the actual story, she also preferred non fiction for a very long time although this has evened out now.
I knew Max the Brave would initially appeal as the illustrations and pages are eye catching and bright and the main character is a cat, which is a good start. The story also has similarities to The Gruffalo in the flow of the story, the range of animal characters and a good amount of sneakiness.
I began by reading Max the Brave to her a couple of times and she listened to the first half only. I then decided to do the puppet making activity with her and see if her engagement increased. She loved putting the eyes and nose on the sock and played with the puppet and the other toy animals.
We then watched the video from the Lovemybooks site and she played with the animal toys and the puppet as she watched. We then acted out the story and she demonstrated good knowledge of the story, finding the pages to match the animals and vice versa.
She is really enjoying the book and I am enjoying doing more than just reading, questioning and discussing the book but actually interacting with it through play.


Creative Inkspirations: Twice in One Week!
Can you believe it? Two post in one week, I know amazing lol! Well, I have had some stamping time this week, hoping for more too! I got new rubber this week and could hardly wait to use it!
This card features 2 of my new sets, Hieroglyph Horses and Just Because.
It also features the use of a new tool we are carrying, called the Scor-Pal the card is called a Layered Fold. Once you get the measurements down it is pretty easy and looks pretty cool! I think this one just needs a little something extra, but I like it none the less!
Great card! I really want to get one of those Scor-pals. They can do some awesome things!!
Love this fold! Do you have instructions for it????
Aren't those papers the best of the best for male stuff? AND the just because set is one of the stamp sets I use all the time. I just love it!

Q: Retrieving titles/ids of lists except libraries? Is there a way to retrieve IDs/Titles of lists on a web without retrieving IDs/Titles of libraries?
In a SPFX webpart you can use
return this.context.spHttpClient.get(this.context.pageContext.web.absoluteUrl + `/_api/web/lists?$filter=Hidden eq false`, SPHttpClient.configurations.v1)
  .then((response: SPHttpClientResponse) => {
    return response.json();
  });`

to retrieve titles of lists, but it also return titles of libraries.
I need titles/IDs of lists for a Picker.
I currently use PropertyFieldListPicker from @pnp/spfx-property-controls which displays IDs of lists(including libraries).

A: I don't know about the SPFx part. But using REST api you can get all lists on a web. By using filter on BaseType of list using following URL:
siteUrl/_api/web/lists?$filter=BaseType eq 0

BaseType = 0 is for Generic List.
BaseType = 1 is for Document Libraries
You can get the detailed information about BaseType property here.
Please upvote if this answer helped you in any way.

Romney Wins GOP Debate, Bachmann To Run For President
WASHINGTON — If Tim Pawlenty, Newt Gingrich and other Republican presidential hopefuls feel they need to close the gap on front-runner Mitt Romney, they didn't show it at the New Hampshire debate.
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who leads in the early polls and fundraising efforts, had a surprisingly easy two hours Monday night. He looked calm and steady, criticizing President Barack Obama on the economy and health care while rarely being forced on the defensive despite some well-known vulnerabilities of his own.
With New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary half a year away, the seven GOP candidates seemed more eager to introduce themselves to voters in the televised event than to start ripping each other. They rarely differed on major policies. All agreed that Obama has botched the economy and doesn't deserve a second term.
Near the end of the debate, Romney said anyone on the stage would be a better president than Obama. That was high praise for little-known candidate Herman Cain, libertarian hero Ron Paul and former Sen. Rick Santorum, who badly lost his last re-election bid in Pennsylvania. It also reflected how friendly everyone had been to Romney.
If any candidate had nearly as pleasant an evening as Romney, it was Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota. She made maximum use of CNN's live telecast to announce she was formally entering the race. And she showed a feisty but folksy style, perhaps grabbing an audience that many once thought would go to Sarah Palin, who was not present.
Before the debate, there were signs that Romney might be pressed harder on his record, especially the Massachusetts health care law that requires people to obtain health insurance. On Sunday, Pawlenty had derided the state law as "Obamneycare," because it served as a model for Obama's 2010 health care overhaul, which many conservatives detest.
Pawlenty, the former Minnesota governor, seemed loath to revisit the issue Monday. CNN moderator John King pressed him three times to explain why he had used the term "Obamneycare." Finally, Pawlenty replied somewhat weakly that it was "a reflection of the president's comments that he designed Obamacare on the Massachusetts health care plan."
King had no more luck enticing the other six contenders to comment on Romney's former support for legalized abortion, gay rights and gun control. He has switched his position on all those issues since his days as a Senate candidate and one-term governor in liberal-leaning Massachusetts.
King asked whether anyone on the stage felt Romney's authenticity was "an issue in the campaign." After a pause, Cain said, "Case closed," and the discussion turned to other topics.
The crowded stage and tight time constraints made it difficult to tease out meaningful differences between the candidates. Bachmann said that as president, she would not interfere with states that recognize same-sex marriages.
Santorum and Romney said they support a constitutional amendment limiting marriage in all the states to one man and one woman. Bachmann jumped back in, saying she supported that too. But she had been asked earlier whether she would try to challenge state laws on a one-by-one basis, a different question.
Gingrich, the former House speaker who suffered a wholesale campaign staff defection last week, appeared rather grim and determined to show his toughness. In the opening greetings, when most candidates said little more than hello, Gingrich vowed "to end the Obama depression."
That set the tone for an evening focused on the president, leaving Romney and his fellow Republicans unbruised.
"It was a very friendly debate to say the least, which helps Romney," Republican adviser Greg Mueller said. "No one took center stage and emerged as the main challenger to Romney."
A stiff challenge to Romney from the right "is there for the taking," Mueller said, "but did not happen tonight."
Summer, fall and Christmas will pass before the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary take place. Romney's rivals have plenty of time to mount their attacks. But on Monday in Manchester, they showed they are not ready yet.
