On this Monday just after having celebrated Laetare Sunday, in this time leading up to Christmas, the diocese of Bethlehem got a new Deacon. Many members of the Bohlokong Church communities – where Tumelo was involved pastorally and where he will go on to fulfil his diaconal ministry – but also from other parishes, most of the Priests together with Permanent Deacon Vincent Mohlaping (representing also the other Permanent Deacons), and a number of Women Religious joined in the celebration. The Kgotsong choir really expressed that deep joy we all felt, myself and our new Deacon Tumelo included.
In my homily I recalled that Tumelo's way to Diaconate has been much longer than usual. His discernment has been a long process but all along he felt in his heart this burning desire to serve the Lord and His people as a Priest. God's ways are indeed wonderful. I am sure that his yes today to the questions I put to him came from the depth of his heart matured and enriched by a rich life experience not just enjoying life but caring for his younger brother. When I met with him the evening before his ordination he shared with me that he really wanted to live this God-given time to the full, not letting fall anything into oblivion.
In the readings I chose for this celebration I wanted to highlight that such a calling does not come from man but from God. We only have to discern and to receive the gift in good soil where it can bear fruit in due time. A true prophet as Jeremiah recognizes this with humility and trust being aware that he is called to proclaim God's Word and not just his own opinion. I think that this struck a cord with Tumelo who is not that shy and does not have to search for words to express his opinion. God's Word is surely Good News but it also cuts and challenges, first of all the proclaimer himself. In the second reading from St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians and in the gospel taken from St. Matthew I emphasized that, more important than the kind of activities a Deacon can be involved in, is the way he does things. What is required are attitudes of humility, gentleness, patience, mutual support and service.
After the Diaconate Ordination, sharing a meal prepared by members of Vocation Prayer groups, who were already at work last night, people took time to share with one another: an experience of Church as family.
The minor orders are import, because they are the steps towards priesthood. They prepare a person towards the ministry of priesthood. That is why one is installed to these minor orders while he is still in formation stage in order that he is able to practise these ministries fully. Last term it was the installation of lectors and now this semester in preparation for internship, there was installation of acolytes. These ministries are installed to people who are doing second year of theology in St. John Vianney seminary. These installations forms put of the formation stage of the seminary.
The seminary stages are about to come to an end if one approaches the altar. In 18 May 2016 I was installed as a lector and my work was to proclaim the word of God. Now, I have being installed as an acolyte on 26 0ctober 2016, this mean that I must assist the bishop, priest and deacons at the altar. It also means to help distributing communion to the faithful and the sick. During the installation the bishop give us the challis that has the wine and the bread as a sign to work closer to the Eucharist. This is a sign that we need to prepare the altar for the celebration of the Eucharist.
His excellence Bishop Victor Palane of the diocese of Klerksdoorp was the one who installed us to this ministry of acolytes. There were about 18 brothers or seminarians who were installed. This is the minor order that leads to deaconate. It is significance to us as we about to go for internship. Ministry of acolyte is the last minor order that leads to the ordination. It was a great joy, as it is a step closer towards the ordination.
Maybe it's because we've just adopted these habits, maybe we're just lazy…let's take a bit of a tongue-in-cheek look at some common practices that may need correction during the Holy Mass. Here are 10 things you might be doing wrong at mass.
Seriously, what's the deal? Why can't we just wait 'til we actually finish the Sanctus before kneeling? Do you love kneeling that much? Do you think being the first person to sit will get you a prize? "Hey Bill, what's that medal for?" "Well, I sat the fastest after the collect at a mass back in '85" Yeah, not gonna happen. Let's make a point to do things together next time. Cool? Cool.
AKA the "Judas Shuffle". I'm sorry, did you think Mass was over as soon as you received the Eucharist? It's as though some people think the proper response when receiving Holy Communion isn't "Amen", but "Goodbye". We should observe proper decorum for Mass: depart after the celebrant.
I see this constantly! Genuflecting is the most pronounced gesture we employ at Mass, so it is reserved for the highest good — the Eucharist Himself. Where's the Eucharist? In the Tabernacle. Some might be in this habit because the tabernacle is often directly behind the altar. Before getting in your pew, if and only IF the Tabernacle is visible, genuflect toward it. If it's not in view, bow toward the altar. Now you know. And this applies outside of Mass too.
Wherever bowing is called for in the Mass (when the congregation is incensed by the thurifer, in the middle of the Creed, etc.) it is always a "profound bow", which just means that you bow from the waist. The only time that we are told to bow our head only is "when the three Divine Persons are named together, and at the names of Jesus, of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and of the saint in whose honor Mass is being celebrated".
No. Just no. You'll see priests assume the Orans position (hands extended to the side) a few times; it is a posture that indicates that he is praying on our behalf, but not in the way that I pray for you. He's praying on our behalf in persona Christi capitas. This is why the rubrics don't allow for deacons to adopt the Orans posture, and it's the main reason we shouldn't either.
What is this, social hour? Not only is this obnoxious (my opinion), but it's illicit. The rubrics tell us that it is "appropriate that each person offer the sign of peace only to those who are nearest and in a sober manner". We all love you, but stay where you are.
I can hardly believe this needs to be said, but it does. When the priest, deacon, or EMHC elevates the host or chalice and says, "The Body/Blood of Christ", you had better not be silent. It is imperative that those who receive can affirm belief in the Real Presence, so do what the Church asks. Say "Amen". Amen? Amen!
RING. OUT. Skill is not a prerequisite. Just, please, sing to the Lord.
Now, this one is more important than carrying a tune. How does somebody think that active participation in the liturgy is going to be accomplished without actively participating in the liturgy. Yes, it is primarily about interior disposition, but habitually refraining from the responses is a pretty solid sign of a poor disposition. Again, we worship together.
We'll be looking at more of these liturgical no-no's in future posts. (Round 2: 10 More Things You Might Be Doing Wrong at Mass) The rubrics for the mass can be found in the General Instruction for the Roman Missal (GIRM). Check it out.
We are all called to be true witnesses of Christ by our lives.
What would Christianity be without true witnessing to the Person of Christ? This was a question which struck me on the 26th -27th of February 2016 while I was attending a workshop on religious and concentrated life held in Ladyband Parish by the Newcastle Dominican sisters from the Diocese of Dundee. I realised that witnessing is what makes us the Church "The body of Christ" visible in the world. By being visible we further become more that what we are "The Body of Christ". In other words in becoming more than what we are, we embody Christ, his love, his compassion, forgiveness and his life, not only during this Year of Mercy but throughout our lives. And how do we manifest this? By sharing what we have received with our brothers and sisters as St Paul says, "For I handed over to you as of first importance what I in return have received" (1Cor 15:3) and by being united in love and in faith. It is in sharing our faith experiences that we grow towards Christ in our different communities. Thus, in sharing our faith experiences we do not only grow towards him who calls us but we make he who calls us present and indeed the WORD becomes flesh and it tabernacles in us. This is a most vital form of witnessing because it fulfils the promise of Christ to his disciples "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" (Jn 13:35).
The workshop was organised by the Parish Priest Rev Fr Mosebetsi Mokoena. It was made clear and emphasised by the Parish Priest that the workshop was for all young women in our parish not only for those who feel God is calling them. The reason behind such a wide invitation was that, we are all called to witness to Christ by our lives thus it is of great importance to attend such workshop to deepen our faith by listening to others who have encountered the Lord in a special way. The workshop was facilitated by four Dominican sisters, two of them were finally professed and the other two were novices. The number of the young people who showed up was 54 and they were assisted by the vocation prayer group members. The workshop started on Friday the 26th in the evening and it ended on Saturday the 27th afternoon . It was a good faith sharing experience. We thank the Lord for all this and we like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the parents for allowing their children to come to the workshop and we also thank the young people for showing up . We hope and pray that what God has initiated through the sisters may he bring it to the fulfilment. Mary Mother of vocations Pray for us!
It was on the 7th of February at Mofumahadi wa kgotso cogregation, in Bohlokong parish. All Religious congregations, in the dioces of Bethlehem were present. Srs of st Paul, sacred heart, Holy names and Good Shepherd.
During Mass srs were the ones who were doing the readings, bringing gifts, doing the intersessions and they renew their vows. During offatory they brought their logos according to their respective congregations.
The letter of Pope Francis Said the congrdgation should go back to their roots and should read the signs of the time. Wake up the world! Before final blessing they explained to the congregation what does those logos mean to their congregations, respectively.

An extension obtained from by adjunction of a root of unity (cf. Primitive root). The term is sometimes used for any subextension of over . An infinite algebraic extension which is the union of finite cyclotomic extensions is also called a cyclotomic extension. Important examples of cyclotomic extensions are provided by the cyclotomic fields (cf. Cyclotomic field), obtained when is the field of rational numbers.
Let be of characteristic 0 and let be a cyclotomic extension obtained by adjoining a primitive root of unity . Then is the composite of and the cyclotomic field . For this reason, many properties of cyclotomic fields carry over to cyclotomic extensions. For example, is an Abelian extension of (this is also true for fields of finite characteristic), the Galois group of is a subgroup of the Galois group of ; in particular, the order of the former Galois group divides , where is the Euler function.
If is an algebraic number field, the only prime divisors that may be ramified in are those dividing , although when a divisor of dividing may remain unramified in . The cyclotomic extension of an algebraic number field with Galois group isomorphic to the additive group of -adic numbers is called the cyclotomic -extension (see , , ). In the case this -extension has the form , where .

When ADAPT coaches review the components of our training system with athletes and parents, we inevitably field many questions about our approach to "strength training" and "weight training". While it may seem like we are nitpicking, there is an important distinction between working on strength and working with weights.
Strength is an athletic quality.
Not only is having adequate levels of strength critical for increased sports performance and decreased risk of injury, but improving strength is also one of the primary reason athletes come to train with ADAPT. We spend more time in each session on strength training than on any other component of our system. "Strength training" is about using the appropriate exercises to produce greater force and demonstrating this force production in multiple positions and at multiple angles.
Weights are simply implements or tools.
Our training space features kettlebells ranging from 13 to 106 pounds, dumbbells ranging from 5 to 100 pounds, and barbell plates ranging from 0.25 to 45 pounds. You might assume that an athlete immediately grabs the heaviest kettlebell he or she can hold and starts "weight training" on the first day of training. With ADAPT's progressive strength training programs, however, we start every athlete with bodyweight progressions before an individual earns a weighted vest, kettlebells and dumbbells, and finally barbells.
To put it bluntly, "weight training" is training with weights. The goal of "weight training" is to lift more weight. In pursuit of this goal, you might get stronger but you might not. Should you leave developing this critical component of athleticism to chance?
A proper strength program ensures that you develop perfect technique to boost your resistance to injury and ultimately gain the most amount of strength possible rather than simply lift more weight. Our progressive strength training system uses weights only once you have earned them and this difference helps ADAPT build better athletes.


Good old Arnica. Many people hear of it when they get injured. They rub the gel on their injury to bring out the bruise, help with the swelling, and begin the process of healing a twisted ankle or sore muscles or a black and blue spot. What people do not know is that they have just entered the world of Homeopathy.
What makes Homeopathy special? In Homeopathy, "you are treated for you." Your physical symptoms, the emotional effect your symptoms have on you and your mental outlook are all taken into consideration in my practice.
Take, for example, a family infected with the flu. Even though each member has the same virus, they may all receive a different remedy from me. One might be restless, tossing and turning; another could be lying still with no desire to move at all; while another could have a red face, chills going up and down their spine with heavy eyelids. Same virus, contrary reactions, different remedies. You are treated for you.
So what are the remedies? Homeopathy's medicines are made from one natural substance originating from minerals, plants or animals. Let's go back to Arnica, a great first aid medicine used for soreness, lameness and bruising. Arnica is derived from a flower in the daisy family.
Two other flowers from the same botanical family – Calendula and Bellis Perennis – are also medicines used for acute situations. Calendula helps with closing wounds with antiseptic properties and Bellis Perennis works for athletes who push their muscles to an extreme, or for gardeners who are bent over all day tending their garden.
With a Homeopathic remedy, I tell my patients that there is no worry of toxic side effects, dependency or addiction, and no withdrawals. Only one substance is given at a time which allows the practitioner to clearly manage the action of the specific remedy. There is no confusion on which remedy is working, nor is there any need to rebalance medications.
Homeopathy does not require a diagnosis in order to be treated. You are treated for your existing symptoms not the disease per se. Hormonal disturbances, allergies, sinusitis, and IBS are some ailments I believe homeopathy has success in treating. Common childhood diseases such as earaches, teething, nose bleeds, and colic respond well to homeopathic remedies as well.
For whichever reason one comes to Homeopathy, the purpose is to bring about the well being and health of the individual in a safe, noninvasive and gentle way.
Coleen's attraction to homeopathy began during her first career, as a principal dancer with the Dutch National Ballet. But it was after having children that her realization of the benefits of homeopathic treatment became clear and convincing. In 2006, she enrolled in the Vancouver Homeopathic Academy and graduated with a Diploma of Classical Homeopathy. You can reach Coleen at her practice, Pivotal Homeopathy, in Vancouver, BC.

Here are some tips for our members regarding play on the Custom (and occasionally ACE) servers.
Don't run in front of another soldier's line of fire. Basically, if the rounds are flying, whether your buddy is actually shooting or not, do not run in front of his barrel! It is a very bad habit and this is NOT call of duty!
When throwing smoke for an aircraft to ID you location, only ONE member of your section needs to throw smoke, not three.
Approach aircraft from the FRONT - the tail rotor in ACE will kill you.
When disembarking from a chopper, jump out, run a few feet, hit the deck, remain in all round defence until the chopper is long gone and await further orders.
The Base and surrounding areas are not a place for you to test your weapons. No one should be firing in base areas!
Keep your weapon shopping to a minimum, is wastes time. Nothing wrong with a standard weapon with iron sights.
If you are cleared to engage, clear your back blast danger area (BBDA) visually to check it's clear, and then say, "Back Blast CLEAR!" before firing.
If you are not sure about how to use AA & AT weapons in ACE, ensure you check out Gelly's AA-AT Guided and Unguided AT weapon trainng resources. It's quite embarassing when you really need to hit a tank and you either don't know how to use the weapon, or you miss because you don't know how to aim it!
When flying close air support (CAS) aircraft, you are to attack only the targets specified by the ground commander. You should not be engaging targets as you please. Wait to be called to provide CAS, confirm your understanding of the target and the location of friendly troops. Also tell the ground commander your inbound direction to the target and what weapon you are using. Ideally, the ground commander will tell you which weapon system he/she wants deployed. If you cannot see friendly troops and are concerned about their proximity to the target, get them to mark their location with smoke so you know for sure.
Once a target has been hit, ask for a battle damage assessment (BDA) from the ground troops. If the target has been destroyed, your mission is over - RTB unless asked to remain on station. If the target has not been destroyed, confirm with ground that they want another hit on it, if so, re-engage and again get a BDA.
Do NOT continue to engage targets in the area unless directed to.
If you are finished with an aircraft, refuel and re-arm it (if applicable) and put it back where it belongs!
All aircraft, including helicopters should be approaching the airfield in line with the runway, travel along it until you get to a taxi way, and then taxi to the ramp.
Once an attack is completed, give the section a order to reorganise before moving to another task by saying "REORG". On this command, your section should form a circle of all round defence around you, then check the ammo status and decide on what you are doing next, whether that be get an ammo box dropped, RTB or continue on.
Start getting your section to move in field formations, and keep them as tight as possible. Adjust spacing according to the terain and the level of threat. Make sure you check Gelly's Infantry Formations training resource video if you are unfamiliar with formations.
For ease of control, sort your section into groups. The MG and one other are the "Gun Group", you can have two more guys up the front of your formation as your "Scout Group" (armed with GLA) and the remainder are the "Rifle Group". When assaulting a position, use the commands, "rifles, go" when you want to rifle group to move, the rest of the section will cover or provide suppressing fire. Then call "scouts, go", then the scouts will move, rest of section covering, same for "gun group". Makes controlling the movement of your section easy. To do this though, you'll need to assign members of your section to groups prior to leaving base.
Have the MG (gun group) on a flank, and which ever flank is on higher ground.
If you are getting flustered with radio comms, assign a radio operator to do the talking for you. You just need to be prepared to pass messages into the radio man, and then get told what messages are being received.
Best way to learn RATEL is to listen to guys who know how to use it. Pay attention to the guys who did/are doing this for a living (Valour, Tromac, Gelly, Warhorse, Krongas, Dan, Wastelander, Magnet, Mad_Gallah and Yeshkamesh). Also other members like EightySix, Ex_inferus, CptDavo, DC and Lyndiman are very good at RATEL.
Don't get flustered or embarassed if you stumble a bit on the radio. No one is going to pay out on your about (at least not until after the shooting stops).
If you don't know how to use RATEL, don't panic; a simple plain explanation of what you want to say will do fine. No one is going to bark at you for not using RATEL.
Thanks for reading. Remember, if you have questions, ask!

"…empower[s] teens and young adults to undo racial oppression."
- ESSENCE—-
"…equip[s] young people with the tools they need to be actively antiracist."
- TIME Magazine—-
"…help[s] young people learn in a gentle, thoughtful way."
- USA Today—-
"A book that brings together kids, families, teachers, and administrators in conversation. Tough, vulnerable, important conversation."
- Matthew Winner, The Children's Book Podcast—-
"I was so fortunate to have my kids learn about social justice in Tiffany's classroom, so I know firsthand the profound impact her teachings have. Now young people everywhere can benefit from Tiffany's wisdom with her debut title, This Book is Anti-Racist. This book is a gift to our future."
- Jarrett J. Krosoczka, National Book Award Finalist and author of Hey Kiddo—-
"WOW. Have you ever wanted to better understand who you are? What's happening to us in this racially-divided world, and what we can do about it? This Book Is Anti-Racist is bold in its honesty, and brilliant in its illustrative breakdown of an essential vocabulary on race and identity. This racial and intersectional literacy tool models what creative anti-racist work can look like. It has renewed us to keep up the fight."
- Winona Guo and Priya Vulchi, student activists, authors of Tell Me Who You Are: Sharing Our Stories of Race, Culture, and Identity, and co-founders of Choose.org—-
"Writer and educator Jewell successfully combines personal experience and social and historical issues in this colorful and informative guidebook. Each chapter contains exercises to help readers conceive of their own identities, recognize how society allocates power to certain people, and learn how individuals can stand up to injustice while keeping themselves safe from harm. Durand's vivid, dynamic illustrations are as crucial to the book as the text itself. Though the formatting, which involves pull quotes, font changes, shifting columns, and other graphic elements, may be confusing to some young readers, the information is written clearly and thoughtfully. Concepts like institutional racism and internalized inferiority are relayed in concise language without talking down to the audience. Several terms are underlined and defined in the glossary. Footnotes and a bibliography also appear in the back matter. A further reading list includes a mix of adult, teen, and children's materials. The work will particularly resonate with fans of Anastasia Higginbotham's Not My Idea: A Book About Whiteness. VERDICT A visually exciting and well-crafted antiracist guide for all children. A work that fills a much-needed gap between the feel-good but vague messages of empathy and acceptance in some picture books, and the advanced terminology and theory in young adult nonfiction on racial justice. Recommended for any juvenile nonfiction collection."
- School Library Journal, Starred Review—-
"STARRED REVIEW: A guidebook for taking action against racism. The clear title and bold, colorful illustrations will immediately draw attention to this book, designed to guide each reader on a personal journey to work to dismantle racism. In the author's note, Jewell begins with explanations about word choice, including the use of the terms "folx," because it is gender-neutral, and "global majority," noting that marginalized communities of color are actually the majority in the world. She also chooses to capitalize Black, Brown, and Indigenous as a way of centering these communities' voices. Organized in four sections—identity, history, taking action, and working in solidarity—each chapter builds on the lessons of the previous section. Underlined words are defined in the glossary, but Jewell unpacks concepts around race in an accessible way, bringing attention to common misunderstandings. Activities are included at the end of each chapter; they are effective, prompting both self-reflection and action steps from readers. The activities are designed to not be written inside the actual book; instead, Jewell invites readers to find a special notebook and favorite pen and use that throughout. Combining the disruption of common fallacies, spotlights on change-makers, the author's personal reflections, and a call to action, this powerful book has something for all young people no matter what stage they are at in terms of awareness or activism. Essential. (author's note, further reading, glossary, select bibliography"
- Kirkus Reviews—-
"STARRED REVIEW: Using clear, compelling language, Jewell employs four sections to deftly explain progressive understandings of identity, history, action, and solidarity as tools to encourage antiracist reflection, thought, and action. From the author's note introducing the idea that "racism is a problem, a very serious problem," to the volume's explorations of "spending that privilege" and "calling out and calling in," Jewell offers readers at various points in their activist journeys a necessary primer on antiracist thinking (a glossary helpfully defines underlined terms used throughout, including cisgender, neurodiverse, and femme). Thoughtful, energizing calls to action and journal prompts encourage readers to check in with themselves and to "grow from our discomfort." Durand's stylish illustrations punctuate the text-heavy pages; robust supplemental materials, including notes on the text and suggested reading, point toward ongoing learning."

Home » Travel Blog » How to make money while traveling?
Think about three reasons why traveling the world is good! Okay, I'll start! Traveling opens up your mind and helps you discover your true self. It can be very educational, and of course it's a lot of fun.
Now think about three reasons why it's bad! Much harder, isn't it? Well, traveling hides its own risks, as you can't tell what will happen to you or who you're going to meet (although this can be true even if you don't leave your home). It's also bad for the environment, as it's not very eco-friendly, but hey, leaving the lights on overnight or using a microwave oven isn't either.
And of course there's the scariest part: It can be very expensive. You just use up your money without generating any income, and your savings can become a thing of the past within a really short period of time. You can't work while you travel to make money, while almost even just breathing can cost you a lot in some remote places.
You're wrong! Nowadays it is possible to make money even while you're traveling. Thanks to the internet, tourism, education and the fact that the world is becoming more and more open minded, there are plenty of jobs to take.
Even if you decide to leave your home to start exploring the world. Let's take a look at 10 of the best jobs for travel!
Bars, nightclubs and restaurants can be found everywhere. Just think about Budapest for example: it became a capital of ruin pubs during the last few years, and thanks to this, young tourists from all over the world are visiting the city constantly for cheap entertainment. Another good example is Paris with its cozy cafes, or any Mediterranean beach location, where you can find a pub on every corner.
These places are constantly recruiting English speaking staff, as most of their income comes from tourism, and they are glad if they can find someone who is able to communicate with the tourists. In most cases short-term employment is also possible, as heavy fluctuation is observable in these kind of jobs in general.
Teaching a language can be one of your best options, as you don't necessarily need any certificates to do it. Of course you will need a diploma to teach in a school, but schools aren't the only places to teach at. The world is full of people who want to learn from native speakers, and language schools often recruit them as well.
There are plenty of possibilities in this field, and if you already feel comfortable with it, you can even work as a translator. Who knows, maybe you'll be the one to translate for an American delegation in Brussels.
Of course it's nice if you have real experience in these things, but you know the saying: Those who can, do; those who can't, teach.
Babysitters living together with a family, looking after their children and helping with the housework if needed are called au pair. It's a very popular job amongst young people, and lots of families employ foreigners to teach English to their children. They get their wage every week in exchange, and the family also provides a place to live and food to eat. Of course you can also watch over a house or the owner's pets, although there are less of these kind of jobs. For example house sitting is generally not a long-term job like babysitting.
The internet provides endless possibilities. Working online is not the only option for making money: you can also sell your work. Ask yourself: What are you good at? You make some pretty jewels, and your friends dig them? Sell them on the internet!
You can make some stunning graphics? Maybe you should find clients who can pay you for working from the other side of the globe. If you're good at writing, write a travel blog or apply for a job as a copywriter! Give relationship advice or diet tips! It's all up to you. Learn about online freelance jobs, and get familiar with the portals where you can sell your skills (for example elance.com, odesk.com or fiverr.com). You can do various things (video editing, animating, programming, selling advice, designing, writing, translating), and you don't need to anchor yourself to a specific place. All you need is a laptop and some creativity.
If you travel to special places, and you like taking photos, why don't you aim to be a professional, who sells the best of his work? Of course a camera and some determination in itself is not enough: professionals have learned for years, and have a lot of experience, but nobody said that you couldn't achieve that as well.
You can sell your photos to journalists, upload them to stock photo sites (Dreamstime, Shutterstock), or even create guided photography tours.
Generating income from your photos is possible if they are high quality, and their subject is something that others can make use of.
… or a yacht. This way you can make money while traveling the seven seas.
Not only you get a room with these jobs, but also food and insurance, so it's a great opportunity for those who want to save money and explore the world at the same time. On your days off you can even wander around in the city, but be careful: if you don't make it back to the ship in time, it won't wait for you.
You're browsing websites all day long and use various applications regularly? Then testing is meant for you, because nowadays companies and developers pay you to browse their websites and use their apps to find and report bugs.
There are also online portals out there where you can browse these jobs, for example Enrollapp.com, TestingTime.com, Userlytics.com or Userfeel.com.
Because these jobs are physically much more demanding. They are not about chilling in your room while working on a computer, taking some photos when you're bored, or watching over a house.
In the case of seasonal jobs you need to start searching early, because employers don't like to wait for too long, and they want their jobs to be filled as soon as possible. You should think ahead and start searching for spring jobs in winter, and for summer jobs in spring.
Pro: You only need a laptop with internet access. Con: It's not that kind of job where you just install a software and you're done. A vast amount of knowledge and experience is also necessary.
In exchange you can do it from anywhere, no need to be locked up in the corner of your apartment in New York or Los Angeles. You can get out of the rat race for months, it's possible to trade on the Hong Kong stock market even while chilling on the beach in Sicily.
It takes at least 1, but more like 2-3 years to learn day trading, and you should also count with the initial failures, but if you have already gained some experience, your efforts will pay off. Sitting under a palm tree with a cocktail in your hand, without having to worry about traffic jams can be a really uplifting and priceless feeling.
Disclaimer: playing (online) poker like a real pro is almost the same. It's not gambling, because learnable skills are needed, and if you become good at it, you can earn some extra cash, or even more.
+1 Book or video about your travels? Why not?
You can also write a book about your travels, not just a blog. Even vlogging and podcasting are worth considering. Look how many globe-trotters document their travels in video logs: Just think about the YouTube channel High On Life, which posts content regularly to inspire its audience, and has achieved pretty nice results until now.
If you thought you can only use up your money by traveling, and this was your main reason not to travel, then we hope we could convince you about the opposite: You can make money while exploring the world, without being confined by the four walls of your room. You shouldn't be scared about going out and making your dreams come true.


Would recommend Janus and his team in a heartbeat! Thank you, guys, so much for everything!
Philadelphia, PA- Super Bowl Champs!
We stayed a total of four nights for the first half of our trip. Fabian and Janus were extremely welcoming, accommodating and friendly. Their guidance helped us experience a local feel while also hitting some of the tourists highlights.
Would recommend Janus and his team in a heartbeat!
Thank you, guys, so much for everything!

Q: send data from stage to multi column table in snowflake I have an internal named stage where json files are stored and from there I want to store them in snowflake table. The structure of destination table is as follows,
file_name (string)
load_date (timestamp)
data      (variant)

I am using the following query to move the data from stage to table
copy into tableName (data) from @stagename/filename.json;

But the above query is only populating the data column, what I want is to insert the timestamp and filename too. Any idea what changes I need to make in the query? Thanks

A: You need to use a COPY statement with a transformation - documentation here. When you use that method you can query the metadata of the files to get the filename, row number etc - documentation for that here.
Example file filename.json uploaded to an internal stage called stagename:
[{"name": "simon"},{"name": "jason"}, {"name": "jessica"}]

Sql to load create and load table:
-- Create example table first with 3 columns
create or replace transient table test_table
(
    file_name varchar,
    load_date timestamp,
    data      variant
);

-- Load with transformation:
copy into test_table (file_name, load_date, data) from (
    select
        metadata$filename,
        current_timestamp,
        f.$1
    from @stagename/filename.json f
)
    file_format = (
        type = json
            strip_outer_array = true
        )
    force=true
;

Results:
+-------------+-----------------------------+-----------------------+
|FILE_NAME    |LOAD_DATE                    |DATA                   |
+-------------+-----------------------------+-----------------------+
|filename.json|2021-07-16 08:56:24.075000000|{"name": "simon"}      |
|filename.json|2021-07-16 08:56:24.075000000|{"name": "jason"}      |

» Based on starting salary, what are the top 5 Associate's derees?
It is no secret that an education provides a large boost in earnings for degree holders. The most basic degree is the Associate's degree and obtaining one grants the graduate a significant earnings boost. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the difference between the average salary of a high school graduate and an Associate's degree holder is $7,332. This underscores the necessity of obtaining an education further than the twelfth grade. There are a number of possible degrees for students to obtain and there are many variables to consider when deciding what to study.
1. Nursing - The nursing profession is a very stable occupation that is always in demand. An Associate's degree in nursing is enough to enter the field and enjoy the many benefits it has to offer, both financial and intrinsic. Nurses generally work in hospitals and assist doctors in many areas such as blood tests, surgery preparation, and basic patient diagnosis. While nothing can substitute the joy of healing patients, the $52,700 average starting salary for nurses provides another great incentive for entering the profession.
2 Computer Science - An Associate's degree in computer science opens the door to further education in the field or a career as a computer support specialist. Computer support specialists serve as guides helping people navigate through the maze of technology. They provide support and troubleshooting services for organizations. The average starting salary for a computer support specialist ranges from $29,624 to $48,664.
3. Nuclear Engineering - While becoming a nuclear engineer requires at least a Bachelor's degree in the field, an Associate's degree in nuclear engineering allows students to become nuclear technicians. Nuclear technicians generally work a typical 40 hour work week in laboratory settings monitoring and maintaining machines that utilize nuclear physics. The average starting salary for a nuclear technician is about $42,550 per year.
4. Paralegal - Becoming a lawyer requires a considerable amount of schooling, but the people who assist lawyers in their cases and work only require an Associate's degree to enter the profession. Paralegals must be versed in much of the same knowledge as lawyers because they aid lawyers in conducting research for cases, contacting clients and witnesses, and generating new business. The average starting salary for paralegals is between $28,862 and $38,761.
5. Dental Hygiene - An associate's degree in dental hygiene can lead to lucrative opportunities for the student. The career available directly from this degree is that of a dental hygienist. Dental hygienists generally have flexible schedules, and can work full or part-time depending on their preferences. They work in the relaxed environment of a dental office and assist the dentist in teeth cleanings, x-rays, and other dental work. The average starting salary is $20 to $30 per hour, which if extracted a full-time income is between $40,000 and $60,000 per year.
We're sorry, we currently do not have any Online schools offering Associate Degrees. We are working diligently to add more schools to our database. In the meantime, please click here to see if there are any Campus Schools in your area.

CRISTIAN SOTO VANELLI (DIE BRAUT, NEURAL EMBRYONIC, XIAN TRANCE)
Ten Albums That Changed My Life
Electro 30/07/2015, Britta Tabrit
Cristian Soto Vanelli (Die Braut, Neural Embryonic, Xian Trance) from Chile took part in our new challenge "Ten albums that changed my life". Just have a look at what he's got to tell you!!!
1. Depeche Mode - 101
When I was a little boy, I listened to this record over and over again. Without having watched the video, I imagined how they were playing keyboards and doing those wonderful sounds. For me, this was the album that awoke my desire to create music myself. I did not know any other Mode album, so I was fortunate to find a good summary of their music from their first 8 years. Listening to this album, it was like reading a book and having hundreds of pictures in my mind there at the concert. I remember I loved 'Shake the Disease' "Master & Servant" and 'Everything Counts' at the first hear.
2. Front 242 - Front by Front
With this album I got to know Industrial music and EBM. At that time we had reached the 90 and I already knew enough about Electro Pop, so I turned to such sounds... I can remember that I had a keyboard (Kawai), which belonged to a friend. I tried to emulate the sounds of the songs from this album. I fell for 'Headhunter' (obvious), 'Until Death (us do part)', 'Feline', 'Circling Overland' and 'Work 01', the latter to my taste was the most industrial track on the disc.
3. Erasure - Wild
Something similar to what happened with the disc 101 by Depeche Mode. I had only heard the hits of this band, but one day I listened to the recording of 'Wild live' at Wembley arena in London and was fascinated. I was again thinking about stage experiences and then I saw the video and I was really impressed! This band was really wonderful when it comes to live performance. Even though this concert brings many more tracks from Erasure (which also helped me to know their other records), I fell in love with the compositions of "Wild" until today. I love all tracks of this album and Vince has been a great inspiration to me. Master!
4. Pet Shop Boys - Actually
This was the album of my summers at the beach with my friends from school. There was not a year without it and even sometimes two or three times a day. Lying on the sand in the evenings or sitting outside and dreaming to compose music, which at that time was unthinkable for children at school like me. I just used to walk alone with my Walkman and that cassette, listening to this album. And then the remaining PSB albums, just fabulous! My favorite tracks are 'King's Cross", 'What have I done to deserve this', 'One More Chance' and' Rent' but especially 'It's a Sin' is an anthem every time and everywhere.
5. Nirvana - Nevermind
Just perfect from the beginning to the end. In the simplicity of music, as I wanted it to be. All rock, dirty, powerful, unglamorous. That was my inspiration to create electro dark tracks! It is amazing how Grunge can influence an electronic composition. Several songs have something of this band hidden somewhere and it was also back then that I started to play live with my musician friends from that time. All tracks are anthems, of course.
6. Frontline Assembly - Tactical Neural Implant
Just a tremendous drive with many samples. A beautiful inspiration to start writing more electro industrial music. This album, however, made me stop enjoying the music as it had been until then. So many sounds, samples and arrangements. I began to think about the things behind this music. I remember I was talking to people about how the music was done and everything - hahaha. My favorite tracks are 'Mindphaser', 'Gun,' 'Remorse', 'Biomechanic' and 'Lifeline'.
7. Evils Toy - XTC Implant
This album was definitely a kick for me. All tracks were perfect, one after the other, each better than the last. I think the trac listing was well chosen. It was directly influencing me to start making my first demos. Until today I adore Evils Toy and all his works. My favorite tracks are 'Organics' 'I want to believe', 'Abnormal Declension', 'Hypnosis' and 'In Silence'
8. Suicide Commando - Mindstrip
This album changed my whole view on electronic music so far, and there was something like confusion in my head. How was it possible to be so dirty and filthy? Was it musically good for me? What finally struck me was the distortion in the tracks and I started producing music trying to emulate this sound. So that was how I started developing some of our first demos with Die Braut. My favorite tracks are 'Raise your god', 'Hellraiser', 'Love breeds suicide' and 'Jesus wept'.
9. Wumpscut - Bunkertor 7
Wonderful! And better than anything else in the electro genre. Dirty, corrosive, strong, dark, morbid. Each sound was worth listening to, a hard album that inspired me to compose many new tracks. They are part of my band now somehow. With this I began to feel that everything I had heard before sounded bad, and that's how industrial music is made. My favorite tracks are 'Mortal Highway', 'Thorns', 'Corroded Breed' 'Die in winter' and 'Capital punishment'. 'Torn Skin' definitely my favorite.
10. Aly & Fila - Quiet Storm
One of the few albums made in the genre of Trance. The beauty of this album is the simplicity of the songs and remixes. I would say I've been into Trance music since 1994, but back then it was a little hard for me to access such material. Aly and Fila were shocking to me and I began to study their sound elements, percussions, mixes. I wrote down everything that struck me. This took me on a journey and inspired me to produce Trance tracks which I currently do. It's there in my walks, in the car or bus on my way home. All the tracks are excellent and inspiring for me and when I'm composing trance songs, I listen to their music and bam, I find what I'm looking for.

Q: get list of sections from ini-file using shell (sed/awk) I want to create a var from the section names of an ini file like:
[foo]
; ...

[bar]
; ...

[baz:bar]
;...

now I need a var like
SECTIONS="foo bar baz"

thanks in advance

A: One line solution could be:
export SECTIONS=`grep "^\[" test.ini |sort -u | xargs | tr '\[' ' ' | tr '\]' ' ' `

A: SECTIONS=$(crudini --get your.ini | sed 's/:.*//')

A: I'm now using this construct, don't need to know if a section exists. just read it, if it's empty it does not exist.
INI_FILE=test.ini

function ini_get
{

    eval `sed -e 's/[[:space:]]*\=[[:space:]]*/=/g' \
        -e 's/;.*$//' \
        -e 's/[[:space:]]*$//' \
        -e 's/^[[:space:]]*//' \
        -e "s/^\(.*\)=\([^\"']*\)$/\1=\"\2\"/" \
    < $INI_FILE \
    | sed -n -e "/^\[$1\]/,/^\s*\[/{/^[^;].*\=.*/p;}"

    echo ${!2}
}

IP=$(ini_get 50001 ip)
PORT=$(ini_get 50001 port)

Marco Island to settle lawsuit over closed captioning
Devan Patel
Marco Eagle
The city of Marco Island has agreed to settle a lawsuit alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act for failing to provide closed captioning for videos on the city's website and cable broadcasts.
Eddie I. Sierra, a disability rights advocate, filed suit in U.S. District Court, Middle District on July 26, which was then served on Council Chairman Jared Grifoni on Aug. 7.
City Attorney Alan Gabriel informed the council of the lawsuit and potential settlement agreement, which was required as part of the notice of conditional settlement. The council's settlement authorization is for an amount less than $10,000.
Sierra and Marco Island anticipated to finalize and approve the settlement agreement by Sept. 27.
Sierra's lawsuit against the city of Marco Island is one of many similar Title II lawsuits he has filed against government entities in Florida.
Title II requires governments to provide equal service to everyone.
In the Middle District, Sierra filed suits in the past against Marion County, Sarasota County, Charlotte County, the city of Naples and the city of Fort Myers. Sierra has filed more than 30 suits against government entities throughout Florida.
In recommending the settlement amount, Gabriel also noted that it would not open the city up to more litigation regarding closed captioning,
"Someone can't come in and sue us for the same item if that's what you're asking," Gabriel said.

North Korean leader re-elected general secretary
The North Korean leader Kim Jong-il was re-elected general secretary of the Worker's Party of Korea on Tuesday, Chinese Xinhua news cited the Korean Central... 28.09.2010, Sputnik International
https://cdnn1.img.sputniknews.com/i/logo/logo-social.png
The North Korean leader Kim Jong-il was re-elected general secretary of the Worker's Party of Korea on Tuesday, Chinese Xinhua news cited the Korean Central News Agency.
North Korean state media reported on Monday that Kim Jong-il's youngest son, Kim Jong-un had been appointed a general in the secretive Communist country.
The move fueled speculation that Kim Jong-un is being groomed as a successor to his 68-year-old father, who is believed to be in poor health.
Both announcements come as North Korean capital of Pyongyang hosts the country's biggest political meeting in decades with the aim of naming a new leadership team for the country.
Kim Jong il inherited the leadership of the isolated country from his father Kim Il-sung in 1994. A personality cult has been built up around the family, with Kim Il-sung known as the "eternal president" and Kim Jong-il as the "dear leader."
MOSCOW, September 28 (RIA Novosti)


Unless airlines invest massively in their IT systems, travelers should continue to expect occasional outages.
Twice in less than a month, a major airline was paralyzed by a computer outage that prevented passengers from checking in and flights from taking off.
Last month, it took Southwest days to recover from a breakdown it blamed on a faulty router. On Monday, it was Delta's turn, as a power outage crippled the airline's information technology systems and forced it to cancel or delay hundreds of flights. Delta employees had to write out boarding passes by hand, and at one airport they resurrected a dot-matrix printer from the graveyard of 1980s technology.
Why do these kinds of meltdowns keep happening?
The answer is that airlines depend on huge, overlapping and complex IT systems to do just about everything, from operating flights to handling ticketing, boarding, websites and mobile-phone apps. And after years of rapid consolidation in the airline business, these computer systems may be a hodgepodge of parts of varying ages and from different merger partners.
It is unclear exactly what went wrong at Delta. The airline said it suffered a power outage at an Atlanta installation around 2:30 a.m. EDT that caused many of its computer systems to fail. But the local electric company, Georgia Power, said that it was not to blame and that the equipment failure was on Delta's end.
IT experts questioned whether Delta's network was adequately prepared for the inevitable breakdown.
Curtis said IT systems should be designed so that when a part fails, its functions automatically switch over to a backup, preferably in a different location. "And if I had a multibillion-dollar business running on this, I would certainly want to have some kind of backup power," he added.
IT problems are not unique to airlines. There have been high-profile breaches and breakdowns at banks and retailers, among others. Airlines have particular challenges because their systems are constantly undergoing changes and additions, including automation to handle the large volume of transactions with customers. When was the last time you called an airline on the phone?
That degree of automation hindered Delta's ability to inform passengers, many of whom didn't know about the outage until they got to the airport. In the first several hours after the outage, when planes were grounded, Delta's website and other systems showed flights as being on time.
Mergers create many chances for things to go wrong, as airlines that may have incompatible software combine their systems. From an IT standpoint, the United-Continental merger was seen as particularly awful, while Delta's 2008 acquisition of Northwest was seen as so smooth that American copied it when it combined with US Airways in 2013.

The IGP, according to Mba, gave the asuramce during a strategic meeting, held at the Force 5, Abuja, with Commanders of the Police Mobile Force (PMF) Squadrons in the country, as part of efforts to specifically contain the activities of criminal elements in the South-East and particularly guarantee a safe and secure environment for the elections.
The IGP further stated that the leadership of the Force has commenced the reorganization, re-equipping, training and re-orientation of the PMF with the goal of strengthening its operational capacity and re-situating the unit to accomplish the task of confronting violent crimes in the country.
He charged the Squadron Commanders to upscale their supervisory roles to ensure their personnel demonstrate high level of professionalism, firmness, courage and respect for human rights while carrying out their duties.
"The IGP noted that the Nigeria Police Force in the coming days will be implementing a robust national security action plan to refocus the internal security dynamics of the country in addition to securing the electoral processes in the Anambra State Gubernatorial election including the protection of personnel and materials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and critical national infrastructure.
"The IGP noted that the Police Mobile Force, will as usual, form a critical component of the operational plan, to deter any subversive elements that could threaten or disrupt the smooth conduct of the election.
"The IGP reiterated that the Force will continue to do all within its powers to combat all forms of criminality and violent crimes including banditry, kidnapping, armed robbery, cultism and violent extremism, amongst others, across the country," the statement reads in parts.

In 2004, I decided to leave a burgeoning career as a feature writer to hearken to a spiritual calling. For almost a decade I stopped writing professionally and relied solely on journaling as my way of writing. It was not easy to leave behind a career I had worked so hard to establish; and it took sometime to accept the fact that I was no longer a writer – and perhaps would never be one, again.
During that period, journaling was the only writing activity I had. It was a welcome avenue, but it could never equal the joy of being a feature writer for an international magazine. Because of the absence of deadlines, there were days, even months when I abandoned journaling altogether. I didn't write a word. Yet, it didn't bother me. Abandoning a writing career made it easy for me to accept the days when the words would not flow.
Writer's block is not a problem for me. Leaving the writing profession taught me to write in another way – to write on the fabric of my soul. Here are some journal entries that explain this soul-ful way of writing.
After a long hiatus from writing, the words are flowing again, there is an energy that is hard to explain. Why do we need to go into hibernation even if sometimes we don't want to?
Life presents itself and we sometimes find our hands full – too full to hold a pen and scribble on a page. Yet, it seems that a soul in hibernation is a soul that is upgrading itself. And soon, once the hiatus is over, a most resplendant inner soulful creation is uncovered.
My writing life was aborted, once more. Yet as I ponder now, was it really? I think not, on hindsight. I have only known the usual form of writing – setting down words on paper or the computer. I had not done this form of writing these past months, as events flowed and flowed and there was no time nor energy left for writing. But I feel that I had not ceased being a writer during those moments. I fully lived every minute, listened to every sound and felt every feeling that came to me. And my mind took it all in. So much, indeed, was written in the fabric of my soul and not one small detail was lost. Somewhere in the depths of my soul, a wordless book had been written and it is now very much a part of me. If there is a need, I know that this inner book will manifest in the material world and when that time comes, all will simply flow.
To abstain is to do without something for a certain period of time. I recently went on a journaling abstinence for almost two months.
There was no specific reason for abstaining, or doing without journaling, which had been a regular activity for more than a decade. Regular except for the periods of abstinence which happened spontaneously every now and then.
I don't question these periods of abstinence. Over the years, I have learned to embrace them as respites for the soul, because journaling for me is an activity of the soul. During the periods of abstinence, life takes on a different hue as I take notes not with a pen but with my eyes, ears, nose and skin – my senses are the instruments through which I observe life and record them in the fabric of my soul. The "fabric of my soul" becomes the medium on which my senses record my experiences and impressions. It is a different kind of writing, one that requires many quiet moments to allow the soul to reach out from the depths of my being and explore the world around me and then take all that it had experienced right back into the center of my being. These then become recorded impressions in my soul, notes that are etched in the core of my being.
When the period of abstinence is over, I always find that my way of perceiving the world has changed and there is a sense of lightness in me. And then, the words begin to flow once more.
"Suggestions? Put it aside for a few days, or longer, do other things, try not to think about it. Then sit down and read it (printouts are best I find, but that's just me) as if you've never seen it before. Start at the beginning. Scribble on the manuscript as you go if you see anything you want to change. And often, when you get to the end you'll be both enthusiastic about it and know what the next few words are. And you do it all one word at a time.
