Welcome to our School Leadership Recruitment Service
We have joined together with our partners Emmaus to create a new recruitment and advertising service for all Headteacher and Senior School Leadership vacancies within the diocese. Our aim:
"To provide an outstanding Christian Leadership recruitment service for Rochester Church Schools and their candidates; pre, during and post appointment"
With your help, we intend to advertise all Church School Leadership positions in the diocese on this website.
Our current leadership vacancies are listed under Latest Jobs.
You can advertise your leadership position free of charge on this website. Please call Emmaus Leadership on 01737 652043 to discuss your requirements.
Alongside our new online advertising service, we have also developed with Emmaus three additional recruitment options to support Rochester Church schools. These offer varying degrees of Candidate and Governor support depending on your school's particular requirements. For more details please contact Emmaus Leadership direct.
We recognise you and your Governing body may wish to continue with the way you currently recruit via TES, Eteach and, or Kent Teach, but suggest you make use of the initial advice from Emmaus Leadership as the above advertising routes are also incorporated within their additional services, as well as other recruitment techniques with a greater focus on a 'candidate centric' approach to recruitment.

"Thank you for everything you did to successfully support our recruitment of an outstanding Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher. Using Emmaus Leadership to manage the recruitment to the post was much debated and was the subject of intense scrutiny by our Governing Body who were somewhat reluctant to use a leadership recruitment specialist. However, their confidence was reinstated as a result of your professional approach, your insightful knowledge and the resulting candidate pool produced for both appointments. I have no hesitation in recommending Emmaus to other schools."
Annie Sutton - Executive Principal, St Joseph's RC Specialist School and College
"…we also considered other external recruiters, but Emmaus were clear favourites in terms of their recruitment expertise and in-depth knowledge and appreciation of the catholic school's sector."
Peter Giorgio, Director of Education, Nottingham Diocese
"We tried going it alone to find a CEO for our MAT but had only 2 applicants who didn't meet our requirements. We approached Emmaus and from the start their professionalism was reassuring."
Barry Leyland, Chair - Blessed Edward Bamber Catholic Multi Academy Trust
"Having previously struggled to recruit two Headteachers - for both a Primary and a Secondary school - Emmaus came to the rescue. Their expert advice and deep understanding of recruiting Headship positions in Catholic schools is invaluable, and I have no hesitation in recommending their knowhow and their values."
Fr David Gibbons, Chair of Governors & Parish Priest, Archdiocese of Southwark
"I cannot imagine a better service to fulfil the requirement of helping a Catholic school find a Head. I was impressed with the number and high quality of candidates sourced by Emmaus Leadership."
Marjorie Bannister, Chair - St Michael's Catholic College, London
"I'm delighted with the way it went and the successful outcome (third SLT placement now!) helps confirm to Governors that your approach is right for these levels of appointment. It's difficult to quantify the costs of recruiting and failing to get the right candidate ourselves - we'd only find out the true cost and also lost opportunities if we tried and failed. Altogether better to invest in getting it right first time, so thank you for all your hard work on this. The other side is the perception we leave with all candidates and I think we've worked together to do an excellent job (using your Assessment support). The communication, logistics and the care given I think is really important and Emmaus are a big part of that - you work as an extension of the school. I am fairly sure that all of the candidates will go away having had a great experience and that will help our reputation spread in a positive way."
Dave Cobb - School Business & Development Manager, Saint Cecilia's CE School, London
"We are delighted with the appointment we made and I have reported to the whole community that we could not have been more thorough in the search or more rigorous in the selection process. Thank you Emmaus Leadership."
Jacqui Feely, Chair at All Hallows Catholic College, Macclesfield
"We came across Emmaus by accident after our own attempts to recruit a Headteacher failed. We would not hesitate to engage them again to find a suitable candidate for a leadership position."
Michael Tennant - Chairman of the Board, St Edward's School
"Emmaus brings a level of professionalism, seen in other industry sectors, to church schools' recruitment."
The Rt Rev Nick Baines - Anglican Bishop of Leeds
"Emmaus were instrumental in persuading me to apply for the post of Headteacher. I had seen the school advertising in the past but nothing inspired me to get in touch. Once Emmaus advertised I felt intrigued and keen to learn more about the school. I was supported throughout the whole process, which was a very personal and positive experience. I would highly recommend Emmaus to any school thinking of recruiting, and candidates considering registering. If my new school had not used Emmaus I probably wouldn't have applied."
Hannah Walters, Headteacher, Platt CE Primary School - Kent

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - The plan to rebuild Tyndall is not slowing down.

Tyndall is rebuilding as the base of the future with state-of-the-art technology.
Officials have been meeting with architects to make sure everything is up to standards.
One thing they want to take in account is how it will stand up to severe weather.
"Those standards are taking into account these severe weather conditions, so kind of the shape of the building, the positioning of the building with prevailing winds, we've taken those kind of things into account," said Brigadier General Patrice Melancon.
The rebuild project is estimated at $4.25 billion, which includes updating to state of the art technology and bringing in three squadrons of F-35s, starting as early as October 2023.

Jim Bates, Island Advocate, Passes Away
On November 15, in an open casket draped with the American flag, Island activist and resident Jim Bates was laid to rest before more than 120 people in a Hope Church Roosevelt Island service, a church that he helped found. With his passing, Bates leaves behind wife Belen, a seamstress, as well as a strong legacy of advocacy and faith.
A veteran of the United States Coast Guard, Bates passed away on Veteran's Day after losing his battle with pancreatic cancer. In addition to his work in the church, he was also a president of the Roosevelt Island Disabled Association (RIDA), a member of the Roosevelt Island Residents Association (RIRA) Common Council representing Manhattan Park's 2-4 River Road building, and the kinetic energy behind the FDR Hope Memorial Committee, which has worked to erect a memorial celebrating FDR's accomplishments within the context of his disability. For several years, Bates delivered The Main Street WIRE to all of Roosevelt Landings' 1002 apartments, using his electric scooter as a speedy delivery vehicle.

"Everyone knew he was super-rough around the edges and, at the same time, everyone knew that he loved them," said Lead Pastor of Hope Church Roosevelt Island, Dan Sadlier. Sadlier credits Bates for ensuring the church reflected the unique population and diversity of Roosevelt Island. "There was no way it would be that type of culture if not for Jim," he says "It would have been a lot of young professionals if not for Jim." Sadlier characterizes Bates as someone who was motivated by his faith, yet was able to work alongside a lot of people with different beliefs. "That's hard to come by."
In fact, Bates had been part of the first Hope Church in Astoria in 2013. "He was there for about six months before talking about wanting one on the Island," Sadlier recounts. "Part of that was because he couldn't invite any of his friends, because most churches are not accessible. Jim was one of two people that left Astoria's church to help me start the one here on the Island."
Bates served as a vocal advocate for those living with disabilities. After church, at their after-service dinners, Sadlier recalls, "Jim is the guy who would roll into [the] big dinners we would have and say, 'Dan, move this table and these chairs; this is not accessible,'" says Sadlier.
Sande Elinson, of the Roosevelt Island Garden Club, says that Bates's advocacy in 2014 was responsible for encouraging more Islanders with disabilities to take advantage of the garden's six handicapped-accessible garden plots, all raised. Today, they are all in use by someone living with a disability. Ultimately, Bates had to give his away so someone else could have it. Now, the group has their first 'enabled' person on their board. Elinson says, "It was all Bates."
Bates' advocacy inspired him to lead efforts to build a memorial on Roosevelt Island depicting President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a wheelchair. (RIDA protested the Louis Kahn FDR Four Freedom Park design for not portraying President Roosevelt's disability.)
The completed FDR Hope Memorial will show President Roosevelt in a wheelchair greeting a young girl as she approaches him. She holds both her crutches under one arm, and their hands are close to touching. It's a moment created to capture FDR's can-do, can-overcome spirit as it is shared with a young polio victim. The sculptor, Meredith Bergmann, has drawn inspiration from FDR herself and admits to feeling his spiritual presence while she works. The project's website is fdrhopememorial.org.

"Hope was a very meaningful idea for Jim," said Marc Diamond, chair of the FDR Hope Memorial Committee. "It was Jim who named the FDR Hope Memorial. The scene that the artist has depicted in the sculpture was inspired in part by Jim's great ability to broadly express grand themes and, in part, simply by the name he gave to the memorial. The hope and inspiration that people will feel when they visit the memorial is very much Jim's hope and inspiration."
RIRA President Jeff Escobar described Bates as "one of our most beloved colleagues ... community member, leader, advocate, and stalwart supporter of life on Roosevelt Island. Words cannot begin to express the sadness and sorrow all of us on Roosevelt Island feel at this loss."

Osteoarthritis after a car accident, also known as post-traumatic osteoarthritis, is relatively common. If you are suffering from osteoarthritis linked to a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your accident-related expenses.
Sometimes called degenerative joint disease or degenerative arthritis, osteoarthritis is a condition where the cartilage on the ends of bones wears down or erodes. Since cartilage provides a cushion that allows for pain-free movement, this creates difficulty when engaging in everyday activities. Over time, the loss of cartilage can cause bones to break down or develop growths called spurs.
Osteoarthritis is most common in older people, overweight people, and those with a family history of the condition. However, trauma from a car accident or another serious physical injury can also lead to the condition. For example, statistics indicate that about 12 percent of osteoarthritis cases affecting the knees, hip, or ankle are caused by some type of trauma or accident.
Osteoarthritis is characterized by tenderness, inflammation, and pain in the joints, as well as feelings of stiffness and an overall loss of flexibility. Patients are diagnosed by a description of their symptoms, as well as through tests such as blood tests, x-rays, and MRIs.
Medication. Pain relieving medication, anti-inflationary injections, and nutritional supplements are commonly recommended for osteoarthritis sufferers.
Hot or cold packs. Using a combination of hot and cold packs can help control pain.
Exercise. A physical therapist can suggest strengthening and stretching exercises to improve range of motion.
Assistive devices. Scooters, walkers, canes, braces, or shoe orthotics can help osteoarthritis sufferers maintain their independence.
Massage. Although it is still considered an alternative treatment, massage is often shown to help osteoarthritis sufferers better manage their pain.
Surgery. Depending upon what joints of the body are affected, surgery can be beneficial.
At home, many osteoarthritis sufferers manage their condition by rearranging their surroundings to reduce the need for bending, stooping, lifting, and other painful activities. For example, someone with osteoarthritis in their knees might rearrange cabinets to place the heaviest objects at waist level.
If your doctor believes that your osteoarthritis is linked to trauma from a car accident caused by another driver's negligence, you can file a personal injury claim seeking compensation for accident-related expenses.
Personal injury claims can include compensation for medical care, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Medical care. You can seek reimbursement for the cost of diagnostic tests, pain relieving medication, assistive devices, therapy, and any surgical procedures used to treat your osteoarthritis.
Lost wages. Compensation for lost wages includes time off work immediately following your accident, as well as loss of future earning potential if your osteoarthritis is severe enough that you are unable to return to work or working reduced hours.
Pain and suffering. Osteoarthritis can result in chronic pain, leaving you unable to complete household chores, spend time with your family, or enjoy certain hobbies. Pain and suffering compensation reimburses you for the physical and emotional effects of the accident.
To support your claim for damages, you will need to provide copies of your medical records as well as medical bills, bank statements, and pay stubs. Expert testimony from doctors with experience treating your condition or from a vocational counselor who can testify as to how your injuries have limited your earning potential may also be needed.
Osteoarthritis is a progressive disease and is often present at the time of a collision as a pre-existing condition. At times, an injury victim may have no pre-existing symptoms, but after the collision, the osteoarthritis along with the injuries combine to cause pain and symptoms, sometimes worse than if there was no osteoarthritis present at the time of the collision. The challenge is proving the change in the condition of the osteoarthritis between before and after the condition. Using the client's medical records before the collision can show the existence of absence of pre-existing symptoms.
You have up to two years to file a claim, but it is best to begin as soon as possible so evidence and witness testimony are easier to locate. Working with an experienced attorney is the best way to ensure that your rights are protected throughout the process since insurance companies are financially motivated to settle cases for the smallest amount possible. Without an advocate on your side, you may end up with a settlement that doesn't adequately meet your financial needs.
Inland Empire Law Group's skilled personal injury attorneys are devoted to helping California residents seek the compensation they need to move forward with their lives following serious car accident injuries. Contact us today to schedule a free, no-obligation initial consultation. Appointments are available at our Victorville or Rancho Cucamonga locations or call 888.694.3529.

Hubert Leon Richardson (December 28, 1927 – January 13, 2020), also known as Bill Richardson, was an American gun rights activist and former politician who founded Gun Owners of America (GOA) in 1976 and served as a California state senator from 1966 to 1989.

Early life and education
Richardson was born in Terre Haute, Indiana, in 1927 and served in the United States Navy in World War II. He attended Olympic College and the Cornish Conservatory, both in Seattle, Washington.

Career
Richardson's political career began as a member of the John Birch Society. He was elected to the California State Senate in 1966.

During his tenure in the State Senate, Richardson served as the Republican Caucus Chair for several of these years. He was an unsuccessful Republican candidate for the United States Senate in 1974, having been defeated by incumbent Alan Cranston. He ran for Congress in 1962, and again in 1992, losing to Democrat Vic Fazio.

Richardson was credited with electing seven members of the California senate between 1978 and 1980. He led a group of organizations, including Gun Owners of America, that spent up to $1 million to elect conservative candidates.

Richardson was the author of Confrontational Politics, a book that has served as a guide for right-wing political figures, activists, and organizations.

Personal life
He died on January 13, 2020, at the age of 92.

10 Jul Why You Need To Compete?
At Engineered Bodies, we provide our clients health and fitness programs that enable them to achieve peak physical performance and sustain it for the long term. We educate and encourage they strive for slow and steady evolution (both physically and mentally) since we believe there's no need to rush for a finish line that doesn't exist. It sounds great however staying committed to a life-long, self improvement journey is extremely challenging because life, and all it's complexities gets in the way. How can one stay motivated and committed to themselves? One way is to compete in an event!
The training road to competition is not easy but if you're able to commit to yourself and the process, there are many positive benefits for competing in an event.
The people who say this really believe what they're saying is true. You might be thinking "oh that's definitely me" but can you see that the only thing stopping you from committing to competing is YOU? The truth is, these responses are simply excuses and negative talk that you, yourself put into your mind to keep you safe, to keep you in your comfort zone, and to prevent you from experiencing the possibility of failure. It's that same negative talk that prevents you from experiencing the possible feeling of success too. Thats' the power of your mind and some people go through their entire lives never being able to control their own mind.
The truth is, it's not easy to control your mind but the good news is it can be done. Many other people have and continue to be able to overcome those excuses and negative talk with the help of excellent and knowledgable coaches and teachers and an encouraging and supportive community. When you associate and surround yourself with positive people the effects on your mind are also positive. This is why EB coaches and I always text and message our clients to register for class and come and train. The more you hear others say "hey you're doing great!" or "your technique has come a long way!" or "you're looking stronger!" or something else positive like the high-fives at the end of class, or the positive energy of your training partners, your mind starts a transformation and you soon start to believe in yourself and that YOU CAN DO THIS!
Committing to the training process for a competition provides focus as you're training for something specific. It provides an opportunity for you to work on the most important "muscle" we have: your mind. It doesn't matter what you're training, every rep you execute while you train is an opportunity to self-assess and train your mind. What are you saying in your head before you address the bar? What negative thoughts are going through your mind and if you have negative thoughts, can you stop it and replace those negative thoughts with a positive one? What does your mind say when you hit the rep? What do you say and how do you act when you miss? What excuses did you come up with for missing? Can you overcome the miss, refocus your mind, and hit the next one?
It's extremely challenging and you may get tunnel vision and frustrated but experienced coaches will help you through the process. They have the ability to see what specific technical errors you may be making and provide coaching and feedback so you can correct it. They can also see your energy coach you into taking a longer rest so you can compose yourself so you have a chance to hit the next rep. We'll always do our best to find ways to you help calm your mind. My coaches and I want nothing but success for our clients and we'll do everything to assist you in achieving that success.
Committing to training for a competition provides an invaluable opportunity for you to train your mind to become stronger in a safe and controlled environment. When you have a strong mind, you can control your life. That's not an exaggeration. It's incredibly empowering when you're able to control the events that happen in your life and arrange them in an order of priority that YOU dictate.


I am looking for the hotels around the mini track in Denton. Can anyone help???
Hey, everyone crash at Derek's house. Derek, you better have plenty of beer! LOL!
I don't remember any names of hotels but there usually isn't a problem in getting one there in Denton, which is about 15 minutes from the track, unless there is a Nascar race in Dallas and I believe that has already happened. I think you can find one for around $50, maybe less depending on your tolerance. You can try doing a search on travelocity.com as it is usually pretty good in listing hotels if you prefer to book ahead of time.
Try Exel Inn 1-800-FOR-EXEL....it's the closest to Denton's mini track..just off the HWY, south of the track about 10-15 miles I think, it may be closer.

Zimbabwe is a sovereign country in Africa, with a total land area of approximately 386,847 sq km. The UK annexed Southern Rhodesia from the [British] South Africa Company in 1923. A 1961 constitution was formulated that favored whites in power. In 1965 the government unilaterally declared its independence, but the UK did not recognize the act and demanded more complete voting rights for the black African majority in the country (then called Rhodesia). UN sanctions and a guerrilla uprising finally led to free elections in 1979 and independence (as Zimbabwe) in 1980. Robert MUGABE, the nation's first prime minister, has been the country's only ruler (as president since 1987) and has dominated the country's political system since independence. His chaotic land redistribution campaign, which began in 1997 and intensified after 2000, caused an exodus of white farmers, crippled the economy, and ushered in widespread shortages of basic commodities. Ignoring international condemnation, MUGABE rigged the 2002 presidential election to ensure his reelection. In April 2005, the capital city of Harare embarked on Operation Restore Order, ostensibly an urban rationalization program, which resulted in the destruction of the homes or businesses of 700,000 mostly poor supporters of the opposition. President MUGABE in June 2007 instituted price controls on all basic commodities causing panic buying and leaving store shelves empty for months; a period of increasing hyperinflation ensued. General elections held in March 2008 contained irregularities but still amounted to a censure of the ZANU-PF-led government with the opposition winning a majority of seats in parliament. MDC-T opposition leader Morgan TSVANGIRAI won the most votes in the presidential polls, but not enough to win outright. In the lead up to a run-off election in late June 2008, considerable violence enacted against opposition party members led to the withdrawal of TSVANGIRAI from the ballot. Extensive evidence of violence and intimidation resulted in international condemnation of the process. Difficult negotiations over a power-sharing "government of national unity," in which MUGABE remained president and TSVANGIRAI became prime minister, were finally settled in February 2009, although the leaders failed to agree upon many key outstanding governmental issues. MUGABE was reelected president in June 2013 in balloting that was severely flawed and internationally condemned. As a prerequisite to holding the elections, Zimbabwe enacted a new constitution by referendum, although many provisions in the new constitution have yet to be codified in law.

Significant opportunities for Irish companies in the UK offshore wind industry
30.04.19 • Construction | UK
Ambitious plans by the UK government mean that the country's offshore wind industry is one of the most exciting and vibrant energy sectors in Europe, translating into exciting opportunities for Irish companies.
The UK offshore wind sector received a boost in March 2019. Under the government's offshore wind sector deal, the country plans to generate 30 Gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind power by 2030 (approximately one third of the UK's electricity needs), up from a current operational capacity of 7GW.
This ambitious plan requires a significant infrastructural investment of over £40 billion (€46 billion) and will require substantial collaboration with international supply chain partners. What's more, the UK government has made a strong commitment to the investment, regardless of the outcome of Brexit. Given Ireland's strong marine heritage and aptitude for innovation, the deal creates significant opportunities for Irish companies to collaborate with the UK offshore wind industry.
To promote Irish capability in the space, Enterprise Ireland has established an Offshore Wind Cluster, currently consisting of 30 companies. The cluster will promote communication and collaboration between cluster members and act as a primary vehicle for interaction with UK industry stakeholders and key buyers. The cluster will also provide members with the market insights required to maximise the potential for success.
Building on offshore wind success
The levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of offshore wind in the UK has dropped at pace over the last 10 years or so, and is now regarded as the cheapest form of clean large-scale new-generation energy relative to nuclear and gas.
This new deal looks set to build on that success, with several important aims for the UK economy. These include creating 27,000 skilled jobs, decreasing the cost of electricity to UK consumers by £2.4 billion (€2.8 billion), and transforming rural coastal communities into thriving hubs of economic activity and technological innovation. Part of the plan focuses on developing a new accreditation framework for apprentices and workers, which will equip the latter in particular with transferable and exportable skills.
As part of the deal, the UK government has committed to holding biannual Contracts for Difference (CfD) rounds, with 14GW confirmed capacity likely to be supplemented by four to five further CfD rounds releasing a further 16GW. Approximately 3-4GW is likely to be released each round, with 1.5-2GW build out per annum. To put this into an Irish perspective, Ireland's largest single power station is Moneypoint, which has a 900MW capacity – almost 25% of total Irish generating capacity. This means the UK is aiming to have an annual build out of the equivalent of two Moneypoint power stations.
These are ambitious aims for the industry, and although one objective of the UK government is to create local, regionally dispersed employment (the deal aims for 60% local content), the offshore wind industry is a global one, and the UK must compete in the global marketplace.
Offshore wind is now also a key part of energy strategies in Germany, Belgium, Denmark and France, and deployment in Europe is likely to exceed 67GW by 2030 – a huge jump from the 16GW recorded in 2017. Each country is now looking for innovative solutions to key challenges and to drive down costs, creating substantial global opportunities for companies working across the sector.
The industry's expansion has created challenges, and opportunities for the Irish supply chain lie in the provision of cost-effective and innovative solutions. With floating offshore wind also a rapidly developing technology, deeper waters and more difficult environmental conditions create additional and more unique innovation challenges.
Ireland has strong capabilities in several areas important in helping to meet these challenges, including survey provision and geotechnical services, maintenance and data collection. Innovation is integral in all of these areas, and with our strong IT, Internet of Things (IoT) and marine industries, Irish companies are increasingly at the cutting edge when it comes to bringing effective solutions to market.
The UK offshore wind industry is also increasingly aware of the strengths of Irish companies and innovators, as evidenced by the number of major offshore wind developers and top-level contracting companies who travelled to Dublin to attend the Enterprise Ireland Offshore Wind Forum in late March 2019.
Among the visiting companies to present were SSE, who has over 15 years' experience in offshore wind, counting such projects as Beatrice, Seagreen, Dogger Bank and Greater Gabbard Walney among their development portfolio. SSE is also currently developing the Seagreen Zone; Phase One within the Zone includes the development of two offshore wind farms, Seagreen Alpha and Seagreen Bravo, located around 27km from the Angus coastline in Scotland, which have a potential combined capacity of up to 1.5GW. The company is aiming to start construction in 2021, with first exports in 2023. Phase Two and Phase Three will follow, with billions of pounds invested in each one.
Also presenting at the event was EDF Renewables. The organisation's Head of UK Development, Sarah Pirie, spoke about the Neart na Gaoithe project, a £3 billion (€3.5 billion) capital project over its lifetime. Another major developer to present was EDP Renewables. The company highlighted opportunities in the Moray East and Moray West projects, both of which are looking for supply chain partners.
With UK developers and their top tier contracting partners eager to engage with the Irish offshore wind supply chain, it is clear that increased interaction and dialogue is key to collaboration between the industries in both countries.

Early life
Jan Nepomuk Štěpánek was born in Chrudim to a soapmaker's family. He studied at Litomyšl gymnasium and then philosophy and theology at Charles University in Prague. In 1800 he entered the Austrian army against Napoleon. After graduating from a university he escaped to the theatre.

Theater career
In 1803–05 he affiliated with actors of the Patriotic Theatre who played in Malá Strana in Prague. He started translating plays. In 1807 he became a prompter in Malá Strana Theatre. In 1812 he started his career at Estates Theatre. He was responsible for plays performed in Czech on Sunday afternoons by Czech amateur actors. He wrote and translated more than a hundred plays for them. He worked as a ticket agent, secretary and eventually as one of three directors of the theatre.

Work
His work is not of high quality but was highly reputable at his time for patriotic merit. Among his plays are Čech a Němec (Czech and German) and Břetislav První, český Achilles (Břetislav I, Czech Achilles). Among his most successful translations were works of Wenzel Müller or Adolf Bäuerle. He also translated Mozart's opera Don Giovanni and supplied the Czech opera ensemble with a lot of librettos.

The Time Burger King Was Giving Away Free Whoppers But You Had To Do Something Cheesy To Get One
How far would you go to get a free hamburger? Well, if you wanted a free Whopper from Burger King, you'd have to unfriend 10 friends on Facebook and let them know that you "sold" their friendship for a free whopper!
It may sound weird but it was all part of a marketing campaign called "Whopper Sacrifice":
Photo: Burger King
In early 2009, Burger King launched a campaign according to which, if you unfriended 10 friends on Facebook, you were entitled to a free Whopper. But there was a catch: by using the Whopper Sacrifice application, your friends would not only get notified that you unfriended them, they would also receive a message telling them that their friendship was less valuable than a Whopper!
Would you do it?

Q: HTML scroll bar width I would like to know if there is any scroll bar property in HTML to change the width of the default scroll bar in HTML.
The default size of the scroll bar is 13px. is it possible to increase the the pixel value.
Can anyone help...

A: What you want to do is not possible - and if it was, it would be considered by an overwhelming majority of site visitors as "hijacking" their screen: change in scrollbar would make people feel that they had been trapped, and you'd very likely lose every visitor you got, never to return.
I would strongly suggest finding another, more user-friendly strategy. Basically, you need to adapt to the user's needs, not adapt their browser window to your design.

A: No you can't change the browser's scrollbar width with HTML or Javascript. You can change the width in windows display parameters.

A: Webkit browsers can style scrollbars
see documentation
if you want some crossplatform solution, use javascript.
SlimScroll for example.

A: This is not HTML ... but it takes the plausible wrapper approach
Check this out>> Resize Scroll-Bar

A: One more thing is in 'internet explorer 10' Scroll comes on as an overlay, It's a cool feature but it can create a mess sometime on any pixel perfect requirement.

Are your thoughts worthy of you? If not– now is the time to change them. You can begin right were you are right now. Nothing matters but this moment and what you are focusing your attention on.
The universe likes speed. Don't delay, don't second-guess, don't doubt.
It is impossible to bring more into your life if you are feeling ungrateful about what you have. Why? Because the thoughts and feelings you emit as you feel ungrateful are all negative emotions.
When the opportunity or impulse is there .. act!
People think about what they don't want and attract more of the same.
The force of love will change your life so fast that you will scarcely believe it!
If people believe they can be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and they have no control over outside circumstances, those thoughts of fear, separation, and powerlessness, if persistent, can attract them to being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Every idea from your thoughts is the real thing it's strength.
Instead of focusing on the world's problems, give your attention and energy to trust, love, abundance, education and peace.
To create the life of your dreams, the time has come for you to love You. Focus on Your joy. Do all the things that make You feel good. Love You, inside and out. Everything will change in your life, when you change the inside of you. Allow the Universe to give you every good thing you deserve, by being a magnet to them all. To be a magnet for every single thing you deserve, you must be a magnet of love.
Your imagination is an extremely powerful tool.
A lot of people feel like they're victims in life, and they'll often point to past events, perhaps growing up with an abusive parent or in a dysfunctional family. Most psychologists believe that about 85 percent of families are dysfunctional, so all of a sudden you're not so unique. My parents were alcoholics. My dad abused me. My mother divorced him when I was six…I mean, that's almost everybody's story in some form or not. The real question is, what are you going to do now? What do you choose now? Because you can either keep focusing on that, or you can focus on what you want. And when people start focusing on what they want, what they don't want falls away, and what they want expands, and the other part disappears.
Learn to become still .. and take your attention away from what you don't want, and place your attention on what you wish to experience.
See the things that you want as already yours.
So let the variety of your reality thrill you as you choose all the things you want.. get behind the good feelings of all your wants.
You can't have a universe without the mind entering into it.
There is always something to be grateful for. Pure love has no conditions or boundaries. Love does not restrain itself or hold back. Love gives all the time and doesn't ask for anything in return. Love is a continuous flow without any limits. And all of this is inside you.
Those who speak most of illness have illness, those who speak most of prosperity have it.
Absolutely everything you experience in your life is a result of what you have given in your thoughts and feelings, whether you realize you have given them or not.
EVERYTHING in your life you have attracted .. accept that fact .. it's true.
Our job is not to worry about the "How". The "How" will show up out of the commitment and belief in the "what". The Hows are the domain of the universe. It always knows the quickest, fastest, most harmonious way between you and your dream.
VISUALIZE! See it, feel it! This is where action begins.
There are no limits to what you can create for you, because your ability to think is unlimited! But you cannot create other people's lives for them. You cannot think for them, and if you try to force your opinions on others you will only attract like forces to you. So let all others create the life they want.
We are like magnets– like attract like. You become AND attract what you think.
You have to feel love to harness its power!
Neville recommends at the end of every day, before you go to sleep, to think through the events of the day. If any events or moments did not go the way you wanted, replay them in your mind in a way that thrills you. As you recreate those events in your mind exactly as you want, you are cleaning up your frequency from the day and you are emitting a new signal and frequency for tomorrow. You have intentionally created new picture for your future. It is never too late to change the pictures.
Feel exhilarated by the whole process- high, happy, in tune.
What you think and what you feel and what actually manifests is ALWAYS a match – no exception.
Decide what you want .. believe you can have it, believe you deserve it, believe it's possible for you.

Please read this whole page and be able to answer the understanding questions before starting on this assignment. Ask a tutor, TA or instructor if you have any questions before you begin. You must write your code in the files in your PSA3 folder.
You will work with a partner on this PSA. Before you begin you MUST have a partner. Please review the guidelines for pair programming. There is an individual interview required for this and every PSA worth 20% of each assignment grade.
Note: This PSA has a total of 16 points. However, all PSA assignments are weighted equally. The interview is always 20% of the total PSA grade (i.e. if you managed to obtain all 16 points but failed to complete an interview your total PSA grade would be 80%).
1) Right-click in an open space on the Desktop and select 'Open in Terminal' from the drop down menu.
3) Select the terminal window with the mouse and right-click to paste.
4) Verify that the 'PSA3A.java', 'PSA3B.java', 'Picture.java' files are shown as the result of the last command.
naming of assignments in the correct locations to get credit for your work.
5) Proceed to start your programming assignment. You must write your code in the files in your PSA3 folder.
Write a program that subtracts the red, blue, and green components of all pixels of a Picture by specified values. To do this, you will write one method in Picture.java and a main method in PSA3A.java to test your subtractColor method by showing and exploring the original and changed pictures.
Add a method to Picture.java called subtractColor. Your method takes three int parameters which specify how much the color components of all pixels of the picture should be reduced (red, green and blue, in that order). For example, if you pass (100, 20, 45) as parameters to your method and the color values of one of the pixels of the picture is (150, 200, 50), then the red, green and blue color values should be reduced to (50, 180, 5), respectively, after your method is called. Note that a negative color value is automatically counted as 0. The order in which the color values are passed to the method should be red, green, and blue, in that order. .
The method should reduce the color values of ALL the pixels in the picture.
Use the FileChooser.pickAFile() command to pick a picture (you can pick a picture in the mediasources directory -- or better yet -- use one of your own!).
Next explore the original picture you picked.
Note that you can explore a picture by calling the predefined explore() method on that picture.
Then call your method to change the COPY of the picture you made.
Then explore the copy of the picture after you called your method on it to change it.
Mouse around to explore the original and changed picture to make sure your method works correctly (that is a specific pixel in the original picture has been reduced by the right amounts in its red, green, and blue components for the copied picture).
Add a method (negative) to Picture.java that takes in two int parameters (1 pt), which are the first and last index of the region (part) of the pixel array to be modified.
The method should access the pixel array of the calling picture object (that is use the this.getPixels() line to store the picture's pixels in an array).
This filter cannot be grayscale, negative, a single color filter and and any filter mentioned in the book.
This file will load a Picture of your choice (either a bookClasses image or a personal image) using FileChooser.pickAFile().
Call the negative method on the first 1/3 of pixels in the image (1 pt). Next call the grayscale method on the middle 1/3 of pixels in the image (1 pt). Then apply the myFilter method to the bottom 1/3 of the pixels in the image(1 pt).
What do the integer start and end parameters passed to the negative, grayscale, and myFilter methods represent? Choose one answer.

Why the Post COVID 19 Future of Work is Gravitating Even More Towards Remote Work
Nikola Petrovic
September 10, 2020 Future of Work
The COVID epidemic subsided. Yet, people worldwide are still dealing with the consequences. Businesses all over the globe have to rethink how they'll operate in the new normal.
Post COVID 19 Future of Work
While there are terms and expressions flowing around like the new normal, and future of work, they essentially imply the same thing. It's a new way to operate a business in a setting where you can't run the whole operation from a single spot.
It's easier to understand it from a practical example. Like with the FOCOS app. It's an app that allows communication and file sharing among team members. Also, it's the easiest way to reduce noise and clutter as it allows you to craft a workplace from a single app.
Remote work isn't just about sitting with a laptop and working. It's a set of methodologies, organization approaches, and strategies to help you work on another level.
Let's break it down into the main benefits of remote work.
The thing that interests managers and owners the most is the cost reduction. First, you don't need to spend an awful lot of time in the workplace. The owner or manager can work from the physical location of the business, while everyone else can work from their homes.
Still, this hasn't resolved the problem of manufacture and similar departments. But, for marketing, operations, sales, or IT departments this is heaven-sent.
Businesses don't need to spend money on equipment, rent, or various benefits for the workers. They can give them other incentives. However, from the managerial side of things, remote works give you another possibility.
The traditional way of doing business could get in the way of rational resource allocation. Since owners and managers were too involved with the office, they often neglected metrics. Remote work is all about efficiency, and tracking metrics is the foundation of higher efficiency.
Managers have datasheets, metrics, and analytics instead of their sense of how business is coming along. When they are making decisions, they are cutting off their emotion and think strictly through the numbers.
This means that they'll easily track sales, performance, progress, production, or any other task. In the case of faulty work or poor performance, they can simply adapt, and reorganize.
Better Organization
Remote work superbly in a single department. It's amazing to track and measure the productivity of individual workers.
Think about it. Workers are left with total independence of how they are going to organize for work. They have more time and they can choose their working hours. But, it won't matter if they don't deliver.
With a multitude of apps to track performance at your disposal, you can see what team members aren't performing. You can fire them or move them to different tasks. Even better, you can check out who are top performers and give them additional tasks or give them a better position.
And, you can do all that from your computer. This, of course, allows the business to work even better than before.
Higher Performance
When you look at these things from the business side of things, this means that the business may achieve higher performance. With metrics steering the way of your work, you can find make any adjustments, test it, and optimize for even better results.
You don't need to wait for those pages-long reports on various facets of the business. Instead, you have a real-time look into how business is performing. This makes it much easier to put any changes to work, test new ideas, and give or reallocate tasks to workers.
Post-COVID 19 future worlds are the world where businesses have to find a way to be more efficient. You can't spend without the return on investment. Every dollar you spend has to make two dollars. Otherwise, the business is going to fail.
Luckily, you can rest easy. The main ingredient of a successful business is a productive employee. And employees are those who profit the most from remote work.
There are a lot of managers who believe that remote work is going to ruin businesses. However, various studies show that remote work increases productivity. The reason for this is that the workers can organize the work as they see fit.
Allowing more independence for workers leads to higher performance. That's because workers can focus on the tasks, choose their working schedule, and concentrate on goals entirely. They don't have to lose any time on anything aside from their work goals.
This leads to them being happier and more satisfied with their lives.
Worker's Satisfaction
The best thing about remote work is that workers get to be happier. As they don't have to telecommute anymore and have flexible schedules, they are more inclined to work – so they can live more.
With remote work, they can have more time for their activities and leisure then they could have in a traditional work setting. If the post-COVID 19 future world, the best thing that happened to the workers is that they got to live a more fulfilling life.
Yet, this sounds all too good to be true. It's something you have to try to believe it.
But, once you try it, it's going to transform your business forever. Don't stray from changes – they are good for you.

D1A Fall Week 3 Recap: Teams Survive Close Scares
Dillon Wall | September 17, 2018
Photo Credit: Iona College Rugby Football Club
This past weekend saw the return of several top 20 programs, as well as the start of many teams' league season.
11th ranked Notre Dame College Falcons (NDC) travelled to the 5th ranked Penn State Nittany Lions this past weekend and lost 14-29. While the Nittany Lions struggled at the set piece this past weekend, they were able to launch some effective attack off their scrums late in the second half. This helped distance them from NDC. The Falcons were effective at the breakdown against Penn State, causing turnovers and disrupting to the flow of attack.
"Notre Dame College were great at the breakdown," said Penn State head coach Justin Hundley. "They were able to get hands on the ball and slow some of our attack down. They got pretty unlucky at times not to win some penalties." Hundley praised his team's performance too, "Overall thought it was a solid team effort and we played well to our strengths. Mike Jennings was man of the match, and had a solid day from second row. Made some great tackles and was a strong ball carrier. Rob Irimescu is playing really well and demands a lot of respect from defenses whenever he is near the ball."
20th ranked Iona Gaels took on 8th ranked Navy Midshipmen. The scoring started early, with a penalty kick converted by flanker Andrew "Birdman" Malick to put the Midshipmen up 3-0. The Gaels soon followed with a try after a well weighted kick and chase. In the dying minutes of the first half Navy's scrum pushed Iona back over the line, the pressure led to a penalty try and a 10-7 lead heading into the half. The second half of the game was controlled by the Midshipmen as they scored 15 unanswered points in the second half. Navy was led by flanker Spencer Craig in the second half, who scored two tries in the second half. Final score, 25-7.
6th ranked Army had a busy rugby weekend, as they sent two of their teams to play two D1A teams. Army's first game of the weekend on Friday night was against St Bonaventure, whom they beat 28-10. Army then played Buffalo on Saturday, and ran through the bulls on their way to a 86-3 win.
The first week of Big Ten action saw Purdue keep 18th ranked Ohio State close in their match. The Buckeyes, prevailing, 31-24. Minnesota also opened up their season with a win Michigan, beating the Wolverines 20-15.
The Rocky Mountain conference is getting underway, as four teams had their first preseason matches last Saturday. Air Force travelled to Colorado State and were defeated in a tight game, falling, 14-10. University of Colorado travelled to New Mexico for a high scoring affair, but managed to come out with a hard fought 46-29 victory.
University of Notre Dame continued their Independent D1A schedule, this week hosting a strong Davenport side that limited the Fighting Irish to a single converted try. Davenport beat Notre Dame 48-7.
It was a busy week in the Liberty Conference, new members of the Liberty Conference, AIC, wasted no time introducing themselves to their new league with a 71-0 victory against Rutgers. Northeastern travelled to the University of Rhode Island (URI) and shutout URI for a 69-0 win. Elsewhere in the Liberty conference Syracuse defeated Oswego 43-5, Fordham beat Stony Brook 31-5, Albany came away victorious against Brockport 48-17, Binghamton won at Colgate 32-14, UConn blanked Tufts 30-0, and UMass won against Fairfield 49-14.

Former Federal Economist Looks At Economic Rescue Package Moving Through Congress
Late last night, the Senate approved a third economic rescue package. This one, which the House will vote on tomorrow, is the biggest in history. It will pump $2 trillion into the U.S. economy. For some perspective, $2 trillion is a tenth of the U.S. gross domestic product. At the same time, we learned this morning that almost 3.3 million Americans have filed for unemployment in the last week, which suggests that even this record amount of money might not be enough to help everybody in need.
Austan Goolsbee served on President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, and he's with us again to discuss these latest developments.
AUSTAN GOOLSBEE: Hey, Ari. How are you?
SHAPIRO: All right. So what is your initial reaction to this rescue package?
GOOLSBEE: Well, definitely necessary. This is a shutdown/slowdown the likes of which we have never really seen. It's - this is not, like, a normal recession. The number of people who file for unemployment for the first time was by factor of five, the most that have ever filed for unemployment in one week. So it's relief but not stimulus in the sense that until we get a handle on this virus, we will burn through this money, and we will have to be back for more. We've got to address that virus part.
SHAPIRO: Explain that distinction between a relief and stimulus 'cause ordinarily, a package like this would tell people to go and spend their money at businesses that will in turn hire people. But right now, businesses are shut down. People are unemployed. What's the hope that this actually does?
GOOLSBEE: Yeah. Look. That's exactly the - if what you were trying to get out of this is, we're going to give money, tax cuts - we're going to give money, unemployment insurance payments and direct checks to people, and we want you to go out and spend it - by that measure, almost certainly this thing would be a failure. Instead, what this is about is we're trying to weather through this storm and put food on the table and so nobody has to go without.
SHAPIRO: Let me...
GOOLSBEE: And that's the point, and that's needed. That's important...
GOOLSBEE: ...At a time like this, but it's important also to recognize that that's not a permanent fix.
SHAPIRO: Let me ask you about these unemployment numbers because the thing that really shocks me is that even this staggering number - almost 3.3 million Americans filing for unemployment - does not reflect the totality of the situation. I mean, freelance workers, gig workers are not included in that number. People who spent all week trying to get through phone lines and websites that are overwhelmed are not included in that number. How much bigger do you think this problem actually is?
GOOLSBEE: Yeah. Jeez. This is - if not the tip of the iceberg, this is just the beginning. And for it to happen so suddenly that just in one week - and it's going to be followed up by other mega-weeks of filing for unemployment. One of the advantages of this bill the - at least the part that increases and enhances the unemployment insurance - is they did address this issue that we have all these part-time workers and gig workers and freelance folks that don't fit...
SHAPIRO: And they will be getting benefits from this.
GOOLSBEE: ...In the normal - they will be getting benefits from that unemployment insurance.
SHAPIRO: So do you share Fed chairman Jerome Powell's view that once the pandemic subsides, there's likely to be a quick return to something like normal?
GOOLSBEE: I hope so. I certainly hope that's right. Part of it - part of the answer to that question is just the fundamental thing of, can we do enough tests? Can we do enough social distancing to slow the spread of the virus? That is, by far, the most important thing in a moment of virus economics - is to slow the spread of the virus.
But then the second is how much permanent damage is done for however long we're shut down. And that's what they're trying to do with this relief package - is prevent a permanent damage. But it could be. It all depends on how long this goes. And there's not really any shortcut of letting people out of lockdown because if you start spreading the virus around quickly again, it just sends us back to square one.
SHAPIRO: Economist Austan Goolsbee, who served on President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers - he's now a professor at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.
Thank you for the insight.
GOOLSBEE: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

10 Management Techniques from Born-Digital Companies
Contributor: Kasey Panetta
What conventional companies can learn from organizations that consider digital technologies a core competency.
Fifty years ago, the most modern management science centered around mass manufacturing and the automotive industry. Today, the epicenter of management science is around technology and born-digital companies.
Born-digital enterprises are "a generation of organizations founded after 1995, whose operating models and capabilities are based on exploiting internet-era information and digital technologies as a core competency."
In these companies, "the data will decide."
"It's actually the superior leadership thinking, patterns of thought and competencies they're employing that are beginning to be the differentiators," said Mark Raskino, VP and Gartner Fellow at Gartner Symposium/ITxpo in Barcelona, Spain. But conventional companies are often resistant to the idea that they might be able to replicate some of these ideas in their own enterprise.
However, the excuses are starting to fall away as companies move toward digital. Traditional companies previously may have thought, those are startups so they can operate differently or those are small companies, they work in the ephemeral, or they are all U.S.-based companies. Mr. Raskino pointed out that Amazon is 20 years old, Google has 60,000 employees, Tesla Motors makes cars, and there are international born-digital companies, like China-based Alibaba Group.
"This is who is defining the landscape of modern management science and strategic success pretty much across the board. And you've got to copy them because, in the end, the techniques they've got are very powerful," he said. "What they're doing is not rocket science — it's about leading different and thinking differently."
Winning in the Turns: A CIO Action Guide
CIOs must prepare and lead in the turns.
Conventional companies can replicate certain aspects of born-digital companies, particularly in three key areas: Business, risk management and resourcing.
Born-digital companies articulate mission statements in specific, declarative statements that say "This is what we as a company are here to do." This mission statement guides them. Uber's mission statement is "To make transportation as reliable as running water, everywhere, for everyone." Uber recognized the idea that in the 21st century it should be easy to get a taxi, and this is a fundamental organizing principle of the company. Everyone in that company knows where they're headed, Mr. Raskino said.
Business model experiments
When it comes to business models, born-digital companies explore and test ideas. They might try a few models and end up with a blend. LinkedIn has three models: Talent Solutions, Premium Subscriptions and Marketing Solutions. The company treats the business model fluidly and "pivots" to find and refine models. If experiments fail, they try something different.
User-centric
Born-digital companies focus on the user and making the experience perfect for that person, with the philosophy that if they make the perfect product for the user, the money will follow. Relentless focus on the end user seems to succeed in the winner-take-all digital world.
Relative risk
Conventional businesses still make decisions based on gut feelings, but born-digital businesses use every tool and all data to guide the decisions. These companies will compare the action of risk to the risk of inaction if another company were to try the idea.
Read More: How to Get Your CEO to Embrace Digital Risk Management
Portfolio investing
In conventional companies most projects must succeed, and IT departments are locked into that mindset. Born-digital companies manage the portfolio differently. For example, they might expect two of every 10 projects to succeed and eight to fail.
Data-driven
Born-digital companies make decisions based on data. This means they are ruthless about A/B testing everything possible, and decide on metrics before they build. In these companies, "the data will decide."
Machine first
When born-digital companies scale up, they try not to add humans, because people add bureaucracy. They will look to buy or create software to do the work that conventional companies would hire people to do to avoid the slowdown created by additional bodies. It's not about being antagonistic toward people, it's about maintaining speed and agility. The amount of employees no longer reflects the success of the company. For example, SnapChat only has 330 employees and Pinterest only 600.
Geek reverence
Digital companies give kudos and respect to IT and technical people. The technical team is included in power conversations and able to approach the CEO with ideas about emerging technology like blockchain.
Extreme talent
Born-digital companies are comfortable hiring fewer people if those hires are of a higher caliber. They understand that smaller teams deliver higher performances and cognitive diversity increases creativity. They are willing to invest a lot of money in a handful of people, versus a median amount in a larger number of people.
Read More: 4 Reasons to Consider a Techquisition
Tiny sourcing
Born-digital companies are comfortable working with the smallest of companies because they are trying to find unique products or services to differentiate themselves. If digital matters to the end-customer, it's important to find something different and special to offer. Different and special often resides in small companies that can be acquired with small acquisitions versus large mergers with companies that don't offer any innovation.
