Openly gay diplomat Laurent Stefanini will not represent France at the Holy See after the Vatican simply refused to respond to his nomination and the French Government gave up on his appointment.
Stefanini was announced as France's preferred candidate for the role in April, having previously served as France's number two diplomat in Vatican City.
The Archbishop of Paris, Cardinal André Vingt-Trois sent a letter to Pope Francis to support the French Government's choice of ambassador.
But Stefanini was rejected despite being a practicing Catholic who has neither married or entered into a civil partnership. The issue seems to have been that he is openly gay.
Dear Pope Francis, who really leads the Catholic Church?
Very sad turn of events!

North Korea's Kim says focus on economy and food production for 2022
Issued on: 01.01.2022 – 05:40Changed: 01/01/2022 – 05:38
Seoul (AFP) – North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un put the economy at the center of an agenda address at the end of an important meeting of the ruling party, state media reported on Saturday, without mentioning the United States.
Instead of the political positions on diplomacy, for which Kim's New Year declarations have been closely watched in recent years, he focused on food security and development at a plenary session of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.
The impoverished, nuclear-armed nation has been under a rigid, self-imposed coronavirus blockade that has battered its economy.
In a speech at the end of the party meeting on Friday, Kim acknowledged the "harsh situation" in 2021 when he outlined plans for the coming year, the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.
Describing the challenges of 2022 as "a great battle of life and death," he set "an important task in making radical strides in solving the food, clothing and housing problems for people," KCNA said.
The Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting border closure saw the largest economic decline in over two decades in 2020, according to the South Korean central bank.
Concerns about a full blown food crisis in North Korea have grown, and a United Nations human rights expert warned in October that the most vulnerable are "at risk of starvation".
Kim, who took power a little over a decade ago after the death of his father Kim Jong Il, said fighting the pandemic was one of the main goals for the year ahead.
"Emergency epidemic prevention work should be a top priority in government work," Kim said, according to the KCNA.
Analysts cited the effects of Covid as the reason for the increased focus on the economy.
"The pandemic continues to restrict North Korea's diplomacy, decimates its economy and makes border controls the main security problem," Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, told AFP.
'Survival Mode'
Kim did not mention the United States, nor did he directly address foreign policy.
But he said Pyongyang will continue to develop its military c*abilities, taking into account the "military environment of the Korean Peninsula" and the changing international situation.
In a speech at the end of the party meeting, Kim Jong Un admitted the "tough situation" in North Korea STR KCNA VIA KNS / AFP
This includes ensuring loyalty and obedience in the military, improving the militia and "producing the high-performance equipment that corresponds to modern warfare," KCNA quoted Kim as saying.
She did not provide any further details.
"Overall, Kim may be aware that unveiling elaborate military development plans this year while people are suffering from food shortages and harsh conditions outside Pyongyang," tweeted Chad O'Carroll of NK News.
"North Korea is more or less in survival mode for 2022 – and doesn't really know what to do … (about) foreign policy."
Pyongyang is subject to several international sanctions over its nuclear and ballistic missile programs, which have advanced r*idly under Kim.
But the deteriorating economic climate during the pandemic did not weaken those programs, and North Korea has continued to pursue we*ons development, an October UN report said.
In 2021, North Korea said it had successfully tested a new type of submarine-launched ballistic missile; a long-range cruise missile; a gun launched by a train; and what it described as a hypersonic warhead.
The country has stayed away from talks about its nuclear program since the failure of the dialogue between Kim and then US President Donald Trump in 2019.
Under Trump's successor Joe Biden, the US has repeatedly agreed to meet with North Korean representatives, but at the same time also to strive for denuclearization.
But Pyongyang has so far rejected the offer and accused Washington of pursuing "hostile" policies.

Q: Tan() function returns wrong value I got a problem with some code, but can't find the error.
I'm trying to calculate the distance marked in red on the sketch below.
My code return the value: -41.63
Correct value is: 3.75
My code:
return round(6.5 * tan(30),2);

Based on:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.tan.php

I thought was was going to be a simple task, but i hit a wall - can't see the error.
I hope some of you can point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Kenneth

A:
The arg parameter is in radians.

tan()
You're sending the number of Degrees and the function expect Radians, so convert your value from Degrees to Radians first and you will get the expected result.
return round(6.5 * tan(deg2rad(30)),2);   //3.75

Fiddle

A: Your current value is number of degrees and you need to convert this to radians first. Use deg2rad() function inside tan() to convert value from Degrees into Radians.
deg2rad(): Converts the number in degrees to the radian equivalent

Kingdom Hearts 3: 2018 Hopes Shaken By New Final Fantasy Plans!
By Staff Reporter | December 5, 2017
Square Enix once said that they will give Kingdom Hearts 3 their undivided attention once they are done with Final Fantasy XV's launching. Well, Final Fantasy XV is already here and it is probably safe to assume that Kingdom Hearts 3's development is now in motion.
Based on this assumption, the earliest possible release date for Kingdom Hearts 3 would be somewhere in 2018 and this explains why the Kingdom Hearts fans are excited for next year.
Unfortunately, those excitements have evolved into fear as new reports are claiming that Square Enix is not done with Final Fantasy just yet. The word is Square Enix wants to launch Final Fantasy XV on the Nintendo Switch next year and this will be followed by the release of a new mobile Final Fantasy video game.
To keep things short, Square Enix is still stuck with Final Fantasy-related developments which go on to suggest that Kingdom Hearts 3's development has been delayed to a later date.
The only hope left is for the reports to be untrue or for the aforementioned developments to not disrupt Kingdom Hearts 3's production progress. We'll keep you updated once we have received more word on it.

First, your logo is color stamped onto the material, and then folioed by a deboss with the same dye. This method is available only on vinyl patches (patch colors available in tan or black). Color fill choices include 11 matte colors and 6 metallic colors.
Highlight your logo in vivid color on bags, pens, drinkware, technology items ,and accessories with this decorating method. It's an economical way to gain high visibility.
Simple one-color designs are enhanced when a dye is used to apply colored foil to a material's surface. Color stamp choices include 6 standard colors (black, white, red, green, blue, brown) and 5 metallic colors (red, green, blue, gold, silver).
Where embossing raises the surfaces of materials, debossing works in reverse by pushing the surfaces of materials inward via a heat-pressing process. Often used for logos and titles, debossing enhances the appearance of your products by adding 3-dimensional depth. This technique can be used to give your product the much sought after eye-catching appeal.
Digital printing, or also known as Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing, is a new process that lets us print full color, photo quality images directly onto your t-shirt within minutes.
For smaller production runs, DTG offers tremendous advantages over silk screen printing. That's because silk screening involves long set-up times and complicated art preparation. With silk screening, you cannot reproduce a photograph on a garment and it can be prohibitively expensive.
Digital T-Shirt Printing (DTG) is different from screen-printing because it of the ease, efficiency and affordability to those who want to print limited quantities of custom t-shirt designs.
A highly decorative technique that raises surfaces to transform ordinary, flat and lifeless material into uniquely contoured, 3-dimensional patterns. Most often used on letterhead, business cards, certificates, and logos, embossing enhances any design and gives your product a look of sophistication and style.
Embroidery is the process of creating and producing ornamental needlework consisting of designs worked on fabric with high-luster threads either by hand or machine. For many forms of apparel - including jackets, polo shirts and hats- machine embroidery is the preferred form of imprinting as it gives these items an elegant look that enhances their perceived value.
Original art is converted, or digitized, into a template that breaks it down into a required stitch count for the desired imprint area. The template is then uploaded into an industrial embroidery machine that replicates the template onto the garment precisely. The cost of embroidery depends on the intricacy of the graphics to be reproduced, as well as the number of colors because they determine the stitch count. Due to the work necessary to digitize art for embroidery and the embroidery process itself, these items take at least a couple of days to produce, which will affect rush orders. The customer is advised to consult the production schedule provided during the ordering process for embroidered items.
An imprint is a means of clearly but unobtrusively displaying a logo on a promotional item clearly. A small version of the logo is rendered on a base, which is then overlaid with a clear bubble of acrylic epoxy. The dome is then affixed to the promotional item with permanent adhesive. This imprint method is preferred on briefcases, notepads, and jotters as a full-color alternative to debossing. It is also an option in the manufacturing of lapel pins.
Using controlled heat, pressure, and precision timing, colored or metallic foil resins are applied to decorate surfaces of varied shapes and materials.
If you have a photo or 4-color process artwork, these methods are the answer. Similar to the transfer method, Photo Real and PhotoGrafixx use very fine half-tones and an expanded color range to capture the sharpness of the design and then transfer it to the product. If an exact PMS match is needed, spot colors will be required at an additional cost.
This dry decorating method uses controlled heat. The dwelling and pressure thermally bonds the graphic onto the material's surface.
Laser engraving is the practice of using lasers to engrave, etch, or mark an object. The technique can be very complex, and often a computer system is used to drive the movements of the laser head. Despite this complexity, very precise and clean engravings can be achieved at a high rate. The technique does not involve tool bits which contact the engraving surface and wear out. This is considered an advantage over alternative engraving technologies where bit heads have to be replaced regularly.
In situations where physical alteration of a surface by engraving is undesirable, an alternative such as "marking" is available. This is a generic term that covers a broad spectrum of surfacing techniques, including printing and hot-branding. In many instances, laser engraving machines are able to do marking that would have been done by other processes.
A laser engraving machine can be thought of as three main parts: a laser, a controller, and a surface. The laser is like a pencil in that the beam emitted from it allows the controller to trace patterns onto the surface. The controller (usually a computer) determines the direction, intensity, speed of movement, and spread of the laser beam aimed at the surface. The surface is picked to match what the laser can act on.
The point where the laser touches the surface should be on the focal plane of the laser's optical system, and is usually synonymous with its focal point. This point is typically small, perhaps less than a fraction of a millimeter (depending on the optical wavelength). Only the area inside this focal point is significantly affected when the laser beam passes over the surface. The energy delivered by the laser changes the surface of the material under the focal point. It may heat up the surface and subsequently vaporize the material, or perhaps the material may fracture (known as "glass" or "glass up") and flake off the surface. This is how material is removed from the surface to create an engraving.
Pad printing is an effective method for transferring an image or text onto three-dimensional surfaces and thus is preferred for imprinting on stress balls, toys, mugs, and other promotional items with curved imprint areas. We employ what is known as a sealed ink cup system, in which a recessed plate is covered with solvent-based ink. When the plate is wiped clean, the ink remains in the recessed area. A silicone pad then presses against the plate, pulls the ink out of the recesses, and is pressed directly against the product. The ink is then exposed to a drying agent, usually a flash of UV light, which causes the ink to dry and adhere to the product.
Different surface materials, or substrates, require different formulae of ink to insure proper adhesion, and climate sometimes affects the drying process. This may create delays in rush orders as it is vital that all pad-imprinted items be completely dry before they are packed and shipped.
Sand etching is a high quality method using sandblasting to show a rush detailed and permanent impression of a logo.
This is a standard screen print using a frosted, colored ink that produces a textured logo with a traditional etched look.
Screen printing is arguably the most versatile of all printing processes. It can be used to print on a wide variety of substrates, including paper, paperboard, plastics, glass, metals, and fabrics. Also known as silk screening, it is the most common form of apparel decoration, mainly due to its versatility and cost-effectiveness for large orders. Logos can be large and fairly detailed, but you will want to avoid using artwork with several colors, due to the setup and run charges associated with screen-printing.
With screen-printing, there is a setup and run charge associated with each color and location in your imprint. This is because each color requires the creation of an additional screen as well as an additional run through the screen-printer. Run charges are generally based on three things: the number of shirts you are decorating, the number of colors in the artwork being printed, and the number of locations to be imprinted. While there is some leeway here, you should expect to pay higher run charges if you are ordering a large number of shirts using a multi-colored imprint or want to decorate multiple areas of the garment.
Flash layers will also contribute to cost. Dark-colored shirts may require that the decorator create a white under-layer (known as a flash layer) before they can screen the colors in your imprint. In such situations, you would be charged for an additional color. Your Promotions Specialist will be able to provide further details in these cases.

"Frozen Ground" is the name of Ilan Bluestone and Giuseppe De Luca's new track from Anjunabeats, which is also the first song off of the British producer's upcoming debut album. The trance tune with De Luca's breathtaking vocals was premiered by Bluestone at Above & Beyond's Group Therapy 200 at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam last year.
Heavyweights such as Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Ferry Corsten, Cosmic Gate, Super8 & Tab, Andrew Bayer, Myon,Ben Gold, Sunny Lax, Shane 54, Jorn van Deynhoven, and Fatum have all played the song.


No, this post is not about the herculean Ibrahimovic and his diminuitive Parma counterpart, Giovinco. Although I did look up their height and Ibra is literally over a foot taller than the tiny player. No, this post is about top of the table vs. 16th in the table, the only Italian team to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Champions League vs. the team fighting for their Serie A lives. Sound cut and dry? Read on.
No one ever really wants to play the desperate team. Why? Because they have the best motivation – survival. Anything else, and it's easy to become complacent. Additionally, Parma boss Roberto Donadoni is already the second coach this year, after Colomba, and has been unable to correct the tailspin Parma are in. Last year, Parma finished a respectable 12th, this year, they are in 16th with not a lot of hope. Desperate team, desperate manager, and we are playing in their house. Recipe for disaster.
The Parma dwarves are coming off of a terrible run of form, their last 5 games have been L-D-D-L-D, two of those games at home. But in a way, that makes them more desperate, or more determined, and they have the capacity to be giant-killers.
Giovinco often surprises with his wee little legs.
Their draw away to Atalanta last weekend featured Pavarini; Paletta, Lucarelli, Zaccardo; Valdes, Mariga, Musacci, Modesto, Biabiany; Okaka, Giovinco. It is rumored that Mirante and Galoppa could return from injury. Despite their position in the table, Parma have some good players, they just need to put it all together and play like a team. And with wee little Giovinco running around, our back line will need to be very careful.
Speaking of our back line, Abate pulled a muscle in training today and will be unavailable for Parma. Which means our back line will likely be Bonera, Yepes, Silva, and either Mesbah or Antonini. Yikes. Our midfield may be boosted by the return of Boateng, but it is also rumored that Aquilani will start. So likely Aquilani, Ambrosini, Nocerino or Muntari, and Emanuelson behind the strikers. (Boateng likely rested at first for Tuesday.) Up front, with Robinho in doubt, I'd say El Shaarawy starts with Ibrahimovic. Also, Maxi Lopez could return, but I'd expect him to start on the bench.
Will he make it back?
Additionally, while Parma don't have anything else to worry about for a week, Milan have our Coppa Italia Semifinal second leg to worry about on Tuesday. And Allegri will still have to consult his crystal ball to try to figure out who to play to get the three points, and who to rest to be ready for Juventus. Add in all of the injuries, and I would not want his job.
The image of giants meeting dwarves seems rather humorous. But on Saturday, we will need to take charge of the dwarves early on and stay vigilant for 90 minutes if we are to defeat them. Mr. Donadoni may need to find a new job after we are done with them, but that is the risk one takes managing in Italy. We are on a mission for the Scudetto, and we can't afford to let a few vertically challenged people take down us giants.

Following the outline, write the introduction. It will be about five to seven sentences in length and include an introductory statement, some background and the thesis. The thesis works best as the last statement in the introduction. Then, begin the body of the paper. Discuss each point and use transitional devices to move from one point to the other. Finally, write the conclusion. The conclusion should remind the reader of the thesis and the main points. End with a statement that takes the reader beyond the content of the essay to the next step or an idea to think about.
Redraft and edit your work. Always read your work aloud to pick up on confusing sentences, ambiguous words and the natural cadence of the writing. Look for spelling errors, mechanical errors and grammatical errors. Ask yourself if the thesis is clear and whether it is clearly discussed in the body of the paper. Finally, ask someone else to read your paper. Most writers will miss something that others will naturally see.

Dino Dogan (0:08): Hello everybody, my name is Dino, founder of Triberr, and I'm sitting here with Dana White. We're broadcasting this from Vegas for BlogRoll.com. And, it's an absolute pleasure for me to sit here with the president and the face of the UFC. And the way UFC has been using social media is absolutely bleeding edge and very fascinating. And we're going to talk to Dana to get some insights into how he uses social media.
(0:41)So, Dana, thank you for being here. Excellent keynote earlier. I want you to make a business case for Twitter. How do you use Twitter to actually lead your business?
Dana White (0:55): The way that I personally use Twitter is I speak directly to the fans. I talk to the fans one on one. You know, I'm not speaking for the company, as the company, it's me. You're talking to me personally. And that's the way that I like to do it, but what Twitter does for me, as far as the night of a fight, right, which is different from anything we've ever done in the history of the company is, you always have problems. Things are always going to go wrong. You know, I've had situations where people's seats were blocked by a camera or pay-per-view goes down in Indiana, a laundry list of things that I wouldn't have known until Monday. But because of Twitter, I can handle it that night, get everything taken care of, make sure that everybody has a good experience. That's my job that night, is to make sure that everybody that bought a ticket or stayed home to buy the pay-per-view or watch it on free TV is having the best experience they can possibly have. So, I love that. That's one of the million aspects I love about Twitter and social media.
Dino (1:58): Yeah. And you can respond to situations, to the crisis in real time.
Dino (2:02): Yeah, that's amazing. You're out there. You're doing it yourself. You almost take pride in saying that you're bypassing the PR department; the filter that's created between you the person and the audience. And there's certain inherent danger in that. And, clearly, you embrace the danger. And the benefit of it outweighs the danger. But, you're out there, you have 400 fighters doing what you do, representing the brand. And just tell us a little bit about the crises that you've encountered. How many of them have you encountered? How exaggerated is the danger of getting out there?
Dana (2:46): Yeah, it's very exaggerated. I mean, yes, we've had a couple…I have 400 plus guys tweeting every day. I tweet every day. You know, you're going to have some problems here and there. The biggest problem that we've ever had is guys trying to be funny. Telling jokes and, basically, I tell these guys, use common sense when tweeting. You're not a comedian. Leave the jokes to your friends, in your inner circle. Don't tweet jokes. But, really, we've really had no problems. There's going to be some stupid stuff here and there but, at the end of the day, people need to relax.
Dino (3:22): Right. It's a tweet.
Dana (3:23): It's a tweet. It's a tweet, relax.
Dino (3:27): Get over it. That's terrific. A lot of people want to know. UFC is a giant franchise. You guys are just going gangbusters. You're on this incredible upslide. Are you going to go IPO?
Dana (3:43): I never say "never", but I'd have to say never. I don't think we…I don't think so. I don't think we'd do it. I haven't seen too many great experiences with going public. And I just don't think this is one of those businesses that we could really run the way that we wanted to if we're not…The thing that I've always said since day one, too, about going public is, nobody believed in this thing. When we first bought it, started to build it, nobody believed in it.
Dino (4:13): I just want to say that I did.
Dana (4:14): Well, I'm talking about the business world, right? Now, all of a sudden, I'm going to take advice from these guys, you know, on Wall Street who never believed in it in the first place?
Dana (4:24): I don't see it. Not while I'm here, anyway.
Dino (4:25): Gotcha. Terrific. Anderson Silva/Georges St. Pierre fight. I know you're working on it. This year? Could it happen this year?
Dana (4:34): Yeah, it could. You know, obviously, everybody knows that GSP wants to fight Diaz right now. That fight's going to happen. And after that fight, should Georges St. Pierre beat Diaz…yeah. I want to make the fight. I mean, everybody thought it was going to happen after Georges' fight with Condit. The kid had, you know, almost two years off with a knee injury, rehabilitating. And he wants another fight first, so, we'll see what happens.
Dino (4:58): Fair enough. You have your employees actively engaged in social media. And, I know this is not a fair stereotype, but if a general population was to imagine the worst type of person to represent your brand, that would be a fighter. Because they're perceived as brutes, which they're not.
Dino (5:23): I know this. But, there's…you have a lot of your employees actively engaged, getting out there, representing your brand and there's a certain amount of training that they have to go through in order to…just to know what tools to use, how to use them and how to represent themselves. Like you said, don't try to be funny, you're not a comedian, right. So, tell us a little bit about the training that these guys go through for social media.
Dana (5:50): Yeah. It's not as hard as you would think. Not only do I have, you know, 400 plus fighters. But when you say my employees, my actual employees inside the company are all on Twitter too. And, you know, obviously you've got to educate them on how to use Twitter, how to do this, how to do that as far as using social media goes. And then is all about using common sense. And I'm very lucky in that I'm not dealing with stupid people here. Yes, we have 400 plus fighters. Most of these guys are college educated. You know, very smart guys. Guys who, not only are the representing the UFC and the sport, but they represent themselves and their own brands and their own business. For instance, like Anderson Silva. Anderson Silva has 3 million followers on Twitter. When he's done fighting and he moves on to the next chapter of his life, those 3 million fans are going to go with him into the next chapter. So, he's not just representing us and the sport, he's representing himself, you know, and his family and whatever he decides to do when fighting is over.
Dino (6:51): Right, yeah. I have a theory about Anderson Silva. Is he really a robot?
Dana (6:56): I think he might be. I've wondered that myself too. He's an amazing, incredible athlete.
Dana (7:04): Yeah, he really is. Doesn't get the credit he deserves, in my opinion.
Dino (7:07): Yeah, he is just incredible. Dana, this was a dream come true. Thank you so much for sharing your insights.
Dino (7:16): And it's great to see you here in Vegas at BlogWorld.
Dino (7:19): NMX! Thank you, guys.
We often talk about creating a profile, an avatar of sorts, for your audience members so you understand who you're creating content for. This is important whether you're a blogger, podcaster, web series creator, or even business owner. If you don't know who your audience is, it's extremely hard to create content for them.
At NMX 2013, Dino Dogan spoke on turning your audience into extremely loyal fans, and this is one of the topics he covered during his session. But he took a step farther. Don't just think about who your customer is. Be your customer.
If you've ever seen our NMX co-founder Rick Calvert speak before a keynote or if you've ever had a personal conversation with him, you might have heard him talk about why he decided to start NMX (previously BlogWorld). Rick was a blogger himself in the early 2000s and being someone who has always worked in the trade show and conference industry, he decided to attend whatever trade show or conference was out there for bloggers.
Rick was astounded to find that there was no event out there to provide more education for bloggers and others in the new media industry. So, he decided to create one. This was the birth of BlogWorld, which has now evolved into NMX. Rick is his own customer, and this is one of the things that lends to the success of this conference.
I use the term customer as Dino has in his presentation, but very loosely, to also not just mean people who are buying from you, but to also mean people who are doing anything you want them to do (read a blog post, listen to your podcast, etc.). You have to be this person to truly understand this person.
Creating an avatar is great, but it's impossible to truly understand another person through research. You don't understand what it's like to be a mother until you're a mother (or so I've been told…I am not a mother). You don't understand how it feels to lose a loved one until you've experienced that loss yourself. You don't understand the frustration of not finding clothes that fit if you're someone who always walks into a store and finds several options.
And if you don't understand what your customers are going through, what they truly feel, you can't do the best possible job creating content or products for them.
Over the past two(ish) years, I've watching the freelance writing industry change drastically from what it was like back in 2005-2006, when I first started writing online. At that time, it was very easy to find content writing jobs. To make ends meet as a recent college grad, I wrote about everything from lawn care to oil rig jobs. Today, those jobs are nearly non-existent. Why? Because people realized that someone who doesn't own a home with a yard can never truly write a great article about lawn care, no matter how much research she does. At least not compared to someone who is passionate about that topic.
Become your customer if you aren't already. You'll be amazed at what you learn and how that affects your decisions.
Being your own customer was just a small piece of Dino's 2013 NMX presentation on insane loyalty. But the good news is that you can still attend the session virtually, even if you missed attending live in Las Vegas! Become an NMX University Premium Member and you'll get access to our complete 2013 Virtual Ticket, which includes a recording of Dino's session, along with sessions from hundreds of other speakers!
At NMX this month, many conference go-ers filled out fun infographics about their NMX experience. The fine folks at Lemon.ly created these for attendees to color in at its booth and at our infographics session led by John Meyer. We loved this idea and thought we'd share photos of some of the finished products.

We often think of LinkedIn as a professional social network for individuals, but did you know LinkedIn could also help build your business? At BusinessNext 2013 (presented by NMX), speaker Stephanie Sammons, CEO of Wired Advisor, presented "7 Powerful LinkedIn Marketing Strategies for Building Your Business" – and today, I wanted to talk about one of the most important aspects she covered: profile creation for your employees.
The more your employees are visible on LinkedIn, the more your business will be visible on LinkedIn. Visibility leads to brand recognition, talent acquisition, and more, so it's definitely good for every company to have a presence on LinkedIn. Consider spending a day training your employees on this platform, or at least covering the basics of creating a good profile. According to Stephanie, here's what your employees need to keep in mind when creating a profile.
One of the biggest mistakes people make with LinkedIn is not keeping the information up-to-date. An employee who is now a manager or even higher in your company might still have their previous job listed. Worse, employees might choose to have unprofessional information listed on their LinkedIn profile, which could reflect poorly on your company as a whole. Go over what is appropriate with your employees and encourage them to update often.
Most people who use LinkedIn do not use the status update capability or they have it linked to Twitter, where updates are commonly pretty casual. Instead, encourage your employees to update LinkedIn during the day, posting professional (and non-confidential) information about the daily happenings at the office.
Make sure your employees are linked with one another and encourage them to allow connections with other people they know. More 1st level connections lead to more 2nd level connections, which lead to more 3rd level connections…and these are all people who are, in some way, connected to your company. If your employees grow their connections, your visibility on this platform grows as well.
This just scratches the surface of Stephanie's BusinessNext session at NMX 2013. Want the whole thing? Check out our 2013 Virtual Ticket, available exclusively at NMX University for access to her session as well as hundreds of other session recordings from our event.
If you're a blogger who wants to find a new audience, why not consider writing for The Huffington Post? Easier said than done, right? Not if you're part of the NMX community!
The Huffington Post, with its 50 million unique visitors per month (Comscore, November 2012), is a powerful platform. We're excited to offer content creators the chance to submit their posts directly to Ariana Huffington. We're talking direct access here, so don't miss out on this amazing opportunity.
This is a unique opportunity for our NMX community, so don't miss out. Email your submission for consideration and you just might make it onto one of the most popular blogs out there. Good luck!

2022 Starts with both Stormers and WP playing at the same time
With the Carling Currie Cup and the Vodacom United Rugby Championship both on the go in January, it will be all systems go for both the DHL Stormers and DHL Western Province.
Early next year will mark the first time that the DHL Stormers and DHL Western Province play competitively at the same time, which will give just about every player in the system an opportunity to prove themselves.
Both squads will return to training this side of the year after the Christmas break, in order to to hit the ground running.
DHL Stormers Head Coach John Dobson said that the players and coaching staff are determined to bounce back strongly from their disappointing defeat against the Emirates Lions earlier this month.
"That was definitely not the way we wanted to end the year, it was obviously a very challenging times with the uncertainty around the match, the last-minute disruptions to the team and the COVID-19 issues we had in the squad which meant that we could not train as we would have liked to in the week.
"Everyone is determined to get back to playing rugby the Faithful can be proud of and building on the promising signs we showed on our tour. We will be working very hard after the break to ensure that we are at our best when the competition starts again," he said.
Dobson added that while it will be a serious challenge, he is looking forward to having both teams in action at the same time.
"There are many players in our system who have lacked gametime over the last two years, with only one team playing at a time.
"With both squads in full competition mode, we will be able to have a close look at how everyone is performing under pressure, which should lift the standards across the board," he explained.
DHL Western Province Head Coach Jerome Paarwater said that the way the two squads work together going forward will be key.
"Every player in our squad will want to do the blue and white hoops proud in the Carling Currie Cup, but they will also be pushing hard for an opportunity with the DHL Stormers, so there will be no lack of motivation.
"It will be important for the two coaching teams to work together, to ensure that we are all singing off the same sheet and if players do move between teams there is a seamless transition," he said.
With the players currently spending time with their families, they will arrive back at the High Performance Centre refreshed and ready to give their best, whether in the colours of DHL Western Province or the DHL Stormers.

If I had a penny for every fad diet I've tried over the years… I'd have a few pounds…. But anyway, my point is that there's so many 'miracle cures' that keep cropping up promising to make you drop a load of weight simply by doing one thing and they might work for a few weeks but then you put everything back on again! Here's my top 10 common mistakes that people make with their diets when they're trying to lose weight and some tips on how to avoid them.
'oh, I don't even get hungry until lunchtime'. That's because your body is still fast asleep! Eat a protein-packed breakfast and you'll find yourself waking up your fat-burning metabolism much quicker.
'Just a diet coke for me thanks'. Stay. Away. From. The Diet. Soda. Artificial sweeteners stimulate the 'reward center' in the brain and you're more likely to eat sugary snacks after. And don't get me started on all of the chemicals.
'Oooooo bacon! Let me just smell it though, it's too fatty'. Really?! Humans need healthy fats to maintain skin, hair and insulate against the cold. Try and eat healthy fats like olive oil, avocados and raw nuts.
'Sorry, it's 18:01, I couldn't possibly eat that spoonful of rice'. Actually, as long as you're eating nutritious food regularly throughout the day it doesn't matter when you eat your carbs. Or your protein. Or anything else for that matter.
'Fries?! Who put this fry on my plate?!' One burger isn't going to make you fat, just like one salad isn't going to make you skinny. Practice moderation, it's the best way.


With the NFL Honors project came the need to highlight the historical significance of not just the players of today, but of the players past who made the game what it is today. Throughout the piece, viewers see a seamless combination of black and white mixed with color photographs, shot practically in a table top live action situation highlighting the unity that generations of football players share as they come together for such a special evening. The camera is never still, drawing a parallel with the high intensity nature of the game, using elegant typography not usually associated with sports branding, we intended to bring an air of sophistication to the sports ceremony.

President Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday performed the 2017 Eid- el-Kabir prayer in the Daura Eid praying ground.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the president who arrived the praying ground by 9:30 a.m. was cheered by Muslim faithful who thronged the ground for the Eid-el-Kabir prayer.
Chief Imam of Daura, Malam Salisu Rabiu, who led the prayer, in his sermon, stressed the need to respect constituted authority.
He also stressed the importance of discipline, especially among the youths, adding that discipline was paramount to the peaceful co-existence of any nation.
Emir of Daura, Alhaji Farouk Umar, used the occasion to call for sustained prayers for the socio-economic development of the nation, as well as the good health of the president.
He called on Nigerians to put the unity of the nation at heart, stressing that the unity of Nigeria is sacrosanct.
The emir urged Nigerians to continue to pray for the economic growth of the nation.
NAN further reports that many of the worshipers thronged the Eid ground to catch a glimpse of the president, who cheerfully waved hand to the crowd.
At the end of the prayer that commenced at 10a.m., the president slaughtered his ram to mark the annual sacrifice.

Maryland Mother Sues Airport Baggage Belt Manufacturer After Losing Her Child
September 25, 2014 | Lebowitz & Mzhen
In a tragic accident that occurred in a Spanish airport in September of last year, a young mother lost her daughter in an accident involving an oversized baggage belt. According to a report by one news source, the family were on their way to a Mediterranean beach vacation, flying from London into Spain, when the accident occurred at the Alicante-Elche Airport.
Evidently, the mother was carrying her child in a car seat when she needed to free up a hand to pick up some other luggage. She set the car seat with her child in it on a stationary luggage belt used for oversize luggage. At the time, it was not on and was not moving. However, the weight from the car seat caused the belt to start up, tossing the young child from her car seat.
The baby was caught between two belts and eventually died from head injuries she sustained as a result.
After conducting an investigation into the event, the Spanish authorities determined that the death was the fault of the "person who was in charge of the child," which was her mother. However, the woman has since filed suit in the United States against the manufacturer of the belt, a company based in the Netherlands. The woman is basing her lawsuit on the legal theories of "wrongful death, negligence, design defects and failure to warn."
Liability in International Accidents
It may come as news to some, but the woman in this case filed suit in a United States court, although the manufacturer of the belt is in the Netherlands and the accident occurred in Spain.
The jurisdiction of the United States courts extends to some accidents that occur outside the United States in some situations. One of these situations is when the company has a significant presence in the United States, even if the accident occurred elsewhere.
Thus, the Netherlands-based company will need to defend against the lawsuit in a US court that will apply US laws. The justification for requiring them to do this is that they hold themselves out as a reputable business in the United States, and therefore willingly submit to our laws. Of course, the company may wish to try and get the case dismissed based on a lack of jurisdiction, but the result of such a challenge remains to be seen.
Have You Been Injured in an Accident While Abroad?
If you have been injured in a serious accident while abroad, you may be able to file suit against the responsible party here in the United States. However, it will be dependent on the facts of the specific situation. To learn more about the laws in the United States that allow US citizens to pursue legal causes of action that occurred overseas, you should speak to a dedicated personal injury attorney. Contact us through our website, or call 410-654-3600 to set up a free consultation with one of our attorneys to discuss your potential case.

Accused of a restraining order violation? Michael L. Fell will stand up for your rights.
Restraining orders are very important for protecting the victims of abuse, stalking, harassment, and similar crimes. Unfortunately they are also very limiting to the individuals they are issued against. For example, if there is a restraining order against you, it could limit your movements, restrict your ability to see your children, or affect your immigration status. And if you are accused of a restraining order violation, you could face a misdemeanor charge carrying up to one year in jail and up to $1,000 in fines.
Fortunately, you can rely on The Law Office of Michael L. Fell for superior quality representation. We will do everything in our power to ensure you are treated fairly under the law and to minimize the impact of any restraining order related issues on your future.
If someone has filed for a restraining order against you, you will be served papers. This is your opportunity to fight back. With help from an experienced defense attorney like Michael L. Fell, you can request a hearing, which will allow you to defend yourself against the allegations that the "victim" is making against you. If the allegations are false, there should be no grounds for a restraining order to be issued.
Attorney Fell understands the special legal issues related to restraining order hearings, and he will work hard to help you prepare the strongest possible argument for your defense. This may result in the judge refusing to grant a permanent restraining order against you.
After decades of experience, first as an Orange County Senior Deputy District Attorney and then as a defense attorney in the private practice, Attorney Fell is intimately familiar with the details of the law on restraining order violations. He knows what evidence the prosecution needs to secure a conviction and what defense strategies will be most productive in a given case.
Alternatively, Attorney Fell can use his expertise in creative sentencing to help you secure a plea deal that will result in the most lenient penalty possible for your restraining order violation.
If you have been served papers for a restraining order, or of you have been accused of a restraining order violation, The Law Office of Michael L. Fell is here to provide immediate assistance. All you have to do is [dial] phone and request a free initial consultation.

I found the yoga active birthing workshop by far the most useful session to prepare for my pending labour to date. While the antenatal classes in hospital are vital too, this class went beyond the usual standard information. For example, I was opened up to more options in pain relief, that have made me possibly reconsider my original birthplan (we'll see of course!) And I am now very familiar with all the various labour signs plus what calming things I can do to relax myself when the contractions begin. It took a lot of the general fear away for me also – the more I knew, the more relaxed I felt. And it was extra reassuring having both Rachel and one of the other students relate their own previous birth stories. What was also especially nice was that there were only a few of us in attendance that day which made it more intimate and cosy – like chatting in someone's sitting room! It is the kind of experience that you can't get from books, websites, or even the large antenatal classes in busy hospitals.
I attended Rachel's active birth workshop, I had put labour to the back of my mind. I was introduced to Gentle Birth Hypnobirthing by Rachel which has helped to relax me and prepare me for giving birth. It was a very relaxing and interactive workshop and I felt comfortable asking any questions no matter how silly they seemed. I left the workshop feeling a lot more confident about labour and would recommend it to pregnant women.
I would really recommend the active birth workshop. Rachel takes you through everything you need to know about labour and the tools you can use to get you through and recover from it such as labour positions, homeopathy, pain relief and hypnobirthing.
Thanks a mill for Saturday's Active Birth Workshop. I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere with the other girls.The class environment made it easy to soak up the useful nuggets of information which I'll hopefully remember on the day!
Thanks again for a great day on Saturday. I really enjoyed it and I found it was a lovely relaxed atmosphere even though I didn't know most of the girls there. I found it very helpful and it covered everything I hoped and then some more. I don't think I have any questions left in me now and I cant think of anything I would have added to it. It was great to hear about your own experience as well.
I attended the Active Birth workshop at the end of March. I am a very nervous patient, have an unempathetic consultant and have been apprehensive throughout the pregnancy thinking about the birth. However Rachel's workshop made me feel as if giving birth is something I can now do and amazingly even think it's a day I might be able to look forward to. All my questions and more were answered on the course. Rachel gave very honest detailed answers on everything she could and the class was fun and interactive, even on topics that previously would have freaked me out to even think about. I now feel I'm looking forward to the birth and meeting my baby, more than I ever would have thought possible and I want to wholeheartedly thank Rachel for giving me that possibility.


September 19, 2018 music news.
The rally for U.S. Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke, set for Sept. 29 at Auditorium Shores, was already destined to be a Texas-sized spectacle with local legend Willie Nelson headlining. On Wednesday afternoon, the show got even bigger as Leon Bridges, who recently sold out two nights at ACL Live, announced plans to join the bill.
"Elections are coming up — so make sure you exercise your right to vote. Texas Forever," he added.
Nelson and Bridges will share the bill with Joe Ely, Carrie Rodriguez, Tameca Jones, and Nelson's sons Lukas and Micah Nelson.
Admission to the concert and rally is free but requires an RSVP via O'Rourke's website.


SEOUL, Sept 3 (Reuters) - LG Electronics Inc (066570.KS), the world's third-largest mobile phone maker, said on Thursday it would launch three new smartphones in the next few weeks that run on Windows software.
They will be the first LG phones to feature the new Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system from Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O), which LG said should make it easier for users to navigate the Web.
LG signed a deal with Microsoft in February under which Windows Mobile will become the South Korean company's primary smartphone platform. Including the latest additions, LG plans to launch a total of 13 new Windows phones globally by end-2010.
Microsoft is hoping its Windows Mobile operating system can continue to challenge Symbian, a platform backed by the world's top mobile phone maker Nokia NOK1V.HE and used in two-thirds of smartphones — mobile handsets with computer-like capabilities.
LG is also a member of the Symbian Foundation and is developing models based on Google's (GOOG.O) Android software.

NPA commissions two new tugboats to enhance operational efficiency at ports
scel
Determined to enhance the operational efficiency at the nation's seaports, the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has commissioned two newly acquired tugboats namely, MT Musawa and MT Ikoro-Ekiti.
Speaking in Lagos on Friday at the commissioning ceremony, Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of Transportation, said the purchase of the boats signposts the President Muhammadu Buhari administration's seriousness in positioning the maritime sector to add greater value to the national economy.
He said the tugboats, which are Damen's 2810 model, further accentuated the determination of the federal government and the NPA to increase operational efficiency.
"If anyone was in doubt as to the importance of the maritime sector to Nigerian and global economy, the event of the past three months where ports across the world have remained open in spite of the comprehensive lockdown of virtually other sectors, should instruct on why priority attention has to be given to the sector," the minister said.
Stating that the present government has identified the pivotal role that the maritime sector plays in the actualisation of the fundamental objectives of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP), Amaechi said that not less than 85 percent of the nation's external trade passes through the seaports.
"The much talked about transition from a mono-product into a diversified economy is heavily dependent on how robust we can make our maritime space and we are committed to achieving this. Work is ongoing on President's directive that all seaport locations must be linked up to the standard gauge rail line even as we are determined to link up the 36 state capitals with the Federal Capital, Abuja with standard gauge rail services," he assured.
He applauded the NPA for delivering on this project nine month ahead of schedule, which according to him, is the kind of efficiency that the administration wants to entrench in the polity.
Hadiza Bala-Usman, managing director of the NPA, described the achievement as another testament of this administration's resolve to prepare the Nigerian Ports Authority for the exigencies of the increasingly competitive global maritime space.
She said that the landlord model of port ownership allows NPA to maintain some statutory functions, which include the administration of land and water within the port limits; planning and development of port operational infrastructure; easing and concession of port infrastructure and setting benchmark for tariff structure and maintaining nautical/harbour operations as well as hydrographic survey among others.
"For the effective execution of these functions, the Authority is committed to the continuous upgrade of facilities and equipment that will enhance service delivery. This commitment is to ensure that all the six functioning seaports are prepared for optimal performance at all times. This determination accounts for the purchase of these tugboats, MT Musawa & MT Ikoro-Ekiti joining our other fleet of four namely: MT Daura, MT Ubima, MT Uromi and MT Majiya, which were commissioned in 2017," she said.
According to her, the new tugboats would enhance the maneuvering of large capacity vessels calling at Nigerian ports to berth and unberth, which would ultimately affect the turnaround time of vessels positively.
She however assured that vessel owners, concessionaires and other stakeholders will experience better service delivery from the NPA.
Akin Ricketts, chairman Board of Directors of the authority said the commissioning of the tug boats marked another landmark in government quest to provide world class services at the nation's seaports.
"Towage service has been an integral part of the determinants of the efficiency of any port as it ensures expeditious passage of vessels in channels and safety in berthing them. Therefore, we are determined to ensure the continuous improvement of the state of equipment at the ports, ensuring the effective management of channel depths as well as the constant upgrading of port infrastructure," Ricketts said.
On the features of the boats, Usman said they are with Length over All (LOA) of 28.67m, Breath over All (BOA) of 10.43m and 4. 90m draft. They are built under Lloyds Classification Society standards and powered by twin MTU engines to attain a speed of 13.5 nautical miles.
Also, the power delivered by the twin MTU engines enables the tugboats to produce 60 tons bollard pull ahead and 587 tons astern, for towing operations. They are also equipped to serve as fire-fighting machines.

Home / Football / Thrust to Ajax: Now they denounce a player for violation
Thrust to Ajax: Now they denounce a player for violation
Byadmin 2 June 2022 03:51
At Ajax There is no day without a bomb. After the serious accusations of abuse that a group of women made about Marc Overmarsas a result of which the club's sports director left his position, this Thursday we woke up with another unpleasant news of similar or worse characteristics.
The popular Dutch presenter Dennis Schouten assured on the 'Roddel Talk' program that he has been in contact with a nineteen-year-old woman who claims to have been raped six months ago by Donny Warmerdam, a 20-year-old Ajax youth squad player who has not yet debuted with the first team. The girl would have filed a complaint yesterday after they convinced her to do so.
"A girl told me she was raped by him at a party six months ago," Schouten said on the show. "She reported it to the police today (yesterday) and also made an appointment to file a report." it is about a woman with whom he himself went on a date after meeting her 'via the internet' and talking to her at her home.
Schouten tells the story as he heard it from the woman. "She was at a party in Voorhout and he was there too. She thought he was a good boy. They kissed, after which he dragged her upstairs. She wanted more. She clearly said 'no' but he ripped her pants in pieces, I saw pictures of it. Then he did the act with her. After about three minutes, he ran away and left the party."
"I asked her if she had any proof. She's had texts from people who saw her walk out crying and asked what happened." The woman would have decided to report after all. "From what I've seen, the photos and the messages, the declaration has a good chance of success, let me put it this way," she said.
After the Overmars thing, they now denounce an Ajax player for rape
