As discussed earlier, LIC conducts three different examinations for the entry into the LIC organization. These three examinations allow the candidates to enter into the LIC at the different levels.
In this article, we are going to discuss about the syllabus pattern of these three examinations. Beginning with the first of the exams, we have the examination of IRDA.
IRDA which stands for Insurance regulatory and development authority is the training and examination program for the candidates to absorb them as LIC Agents in the organization. The syllabus of the IRDA Exam constitutes the questions related to the Insurance, loans, regulations and their general application. Some questions related to the numerical ability are also included in the examination which covers the portions like percentage, discount and loan calculation, etc. The exam pattern constitutes of the questions in the form of Right –Wrong, Yes – No, Fill in the blanks, Match the Column, and multiple choice answers.
Insurance documents, Policy Contracts and other subjects.
This Exam covers the questions related to the Numerical Ability, Reasoning, English, Computer and General Awareness. The reasoning and Numerical Ability covers 30 questions having the weight age of 90 marks each, while the GK and current affairs cover 30 questions having the total marks of 60. The computer knowledge has the weight age of 60 covering 30 questions. The English Language has 40 questions and contains the maximum marks of 100. Thus the total maximum mark is 400 while the number of questions is 160. However, it has been seen that there is some fluctuations in the syllabus each year, but recently the exam syllabus announced by the LIC contains the above pattern.
These subjects when divided into deeper parts include all major topics.The Reasoning subject covers both the verbal and nonverbal questions while theGeneral knowledge covers the topics like Universe, Earth, Pollution, Environment, General Geography, General history, General Polity, General Economics, General Science, General Computer Science, sports and recreation.
When we talk about the marks distribution, the subjects like Numerical Ability and Reasoning carry the weight-age of 90 each while the Subjects like English carry 100 marks. The subjects like General Knowledge and Computer Knowledge carry 60 marks each. The questions in each of the subjects like Reasoning, Computer, General Knowledge, Reasoning contains 30 each while English carries 40 questions. The total questions in the whole examination are 160. The total marks allotted are 400. The exam is conducted for 2 hours and carries a negative marking system too. Every wrong answer gets the deduction of 0.25 marks, while the correct answer gives the marks of 1 each.
These are the only exams which decide the entry of the candidates into the life insurance sector and if someone got to enter into the sector, he/she have to pay attention to the syllabus mentioned above. The candidates should always focus on the consolidation of the base and gaining more concepts about the subject rather than mugging up the data. The strong base can always help to solve any sort of problems in the examinations. Understanding the concept of the question is the most important part in the solution of the question.
These three exams should be the target of the candidates and the candidates should go through the syllabus of these exams very thoroughly in order to create some strategies and plans based on which they can create some better insights over the way of the preparation of the exams.

Exploring Exhibits: "Notman, Visionary Photographer" at the Canadian Museum of History
On yet another museum visit, Chris and I checked out the current temporary exhibit at the Canadian Museum of History, "Notman, Visionary Photographer." This exhibit is the first retrospective entirely devoted to exploring the work of William Notman, a photographer originally from Scotland, who immigrated to Canada and over the course of the late 19th century founded a chain of studios under the name Wm. Notman & Son.

Exploring Exhibits: "She Who Tells a Story – Women Photographers from Iran and the Arab World" at the Canadian War Museum
This past Wednesday on the 6th of December, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the opening of a new special exhibit hosted by the Canadian War Museum, called "She Who Tells a Story – Women Photographers From Iran and the Arab World." The exhibit travelled to the War Museum from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston where it was curated by Kristen Gresh. The exhibit featured the photographic work of twelve prominent contemporary female photographers who had roots in the Middle East. Each photographer captured images that reflected the lived experiences of women and girls in the Middle East within the context of war, the policing of bodies, and other unique factors which shape their daily lives. Gresh was in attendance to open the exhibit, and spoke about how her time in Cairo was what led her to the works and artists featured in the exhibit. Early in the exhibit itself, this story is featured:

North Forsyth High School
Football: North Forsyth cruises in complete win over Alcovy

By Caleb Byrd
For the Forsyth County News
Nobody touched him.
As Brady Meitz dropped back into the pocket with 55 seconds left in the first half, Austin Colon ran freely down the middle of the field, not a defender in sight.
Meitz didn't hesitate, throwing a 57-yard rope and connecting with the untouched Colon for the Raiders' third touchdown of the night. North went into halftime leading 21-0 against a dejected Alcovy team.
Meitz went 12-for-16 passing with 130 yards and a touchdown through the air, adding 51 yards and a touchdown with his legs. Combine that with an 87-yard, one-touchdown performance from Jared Lucero and the Raiders offense was nearly unstoppable, beating Alcovy 35-3 behind the leadership of Meitz and Lucero.
"Those guys are both captains, so we have high expectations for them all season, and they play that way," North head coach Robert Craft said of Meitz and Lucero. "I've just told all the guys how proud I am of them for adjusting to everything that's different these past six months. From school, weight training in the offseason, virtual meetings, everything we've asked them to do as coaches they've just responded so well, and Brady and Jared have been the leaders through that."

There was no lack of leadership and tenacity on defense either for the Raiders.
Chris Herock led the way with four sacks, three of them coming in the fourth quarter. North's defense scored the first touchdown of the game, recovering a fumble in the end zone for a score late in the first quarter, and setting a tone of relentlessness for the rest of the ball game.
The Raiders swarmed the ball all night, allowing fewer than 50 yards of total offense before halftime, and finishing the game allowing just over 100 yards total.
Big hits, sacks, and rushed passing attempts were the defensive stories of the night as the Raiders' defense controlled the tempo of the game. Only one big play was allowed: a 60-yard pass down the sideline near the end of the third quarter. But North adjusted quickly, making a stand on the goal line and forcing Alcovy to settle for a field goal.
"You know we wanted that shutout there," said Craft, "but we made an awesome stand and forced the field goal attempt. So, defense played rock solid all night. And that's the biggest thing we wanted to see, to just play with great effort and run to the football. Good things happen when we do that."
Patrick Corrigan provided a rushing touchdown on the goal line. And backup quarterback Drew Aucoin went 3 for 4 with 52 yards through the air, one of those attempts going for 42 yards to none other than Colon.
Colon amassed 99 receiving yards and a touchdown, the most of any receiver on the night.
When asked about the outlook for the rest of the season after such a statement home-win, Craft remained humble and hopeful. "For us, we just gotta keep getting better. We gotta get better every week. That's what these non-region games are, chances to get better. We have Harrison, who went 15-0 and were 6A state champions next week coming in here, so we got our work cut out for us. We need to take these next three weeks to get better."
For now, Craft and the Raiders can enjoy the Labor Day weekend with the joy of a hard-fought win in Raider Valley under their belt.


There are many versions of Halva which is a simple and popular dessert to make and takes very little time to prepare.
The most common version is made with semolina and its distinctive texture in the mouth is what makes it exceptional.
7 cups of water or weigh 1500 grams.
Add all the ingredients in a saucepan.
Place over a medium heat and bring to the boil, gently stirring the whole time.
When the semolina mixture starts to bubble and thicken the halva is ready.
Pour the halva into a pan or heatproof dish and sprinkle with the coconut.

Can I get some help with some questions on my iPhone 6, iOS 8.x & Apps..from an Android user?
Hi there. I'm an Android user and want to ask about the iPhone 6 and its current IOS iteration.
1. If i use the normal Messages app and sending my photos to an Android phone does that mean it is in the form of MMS? If we are talking about compressed files and sending 5 (or more photos at a time) which app is best...Messages, WhatsApp or something else?
2. Re: about storage. Am i correct in saying a 16GB iPhone will only have roughly 12GB available? I also heard about this "controversy" that iOS 8.2 or 8.3 took a big chunk of the storage. Any truth?
3. Buying a used/unlocked iPhone on Ebay. I'm on the O2 network. is it best to get a "locked" iPhone or a factory unlocked is better? Any truth that once an iPhone is connected to iTunes or iCloud once the next buyer won't be able to use it?
4. I have a Chromecast. Any good Chromecast apps so i can easily stream my files to my TV?
5. The Action Centre is similar to the Quick Settings on Android but the latter is more customisable and flexible. Is there an app that can control or can custom add & arrange toggles like Android?
6. I had a 5C last year and would like to see/retrieve my old photos taken. How can i do it from my iPhone 6 or iTunes? Can i view those photos on a browser?
Just a thought, but maybe you should stay with an Android device. If you're going to have to "make" an iPhone work the way an Android does, maybe that should tell you something.
Well, my intention was to find out if some of the features and capability of an iPhone and iOS in general would suits me after the latest iPhone 6 and iOS 8.3.
What keeps on attracting me to the iPhone is the build quality, excellent & super speedy camera and a great battery life.
2. About 12.5 after iOS. No. Upgrade to 8.0 took a lot of space but Apple fixed that.
3. Locked or unlocked only matters if you want to switch networks. Not really true. There is an activation lock when you have Find my iPhone turned on but it can be turned off before selling the phone.
1. Yes, the "Messages" app will send MMS if you send pictures to an Android phone. No idea if other apps are "better" as I don't use them. I exclusively use Messages. I haven't experienced any problems using it to send pictures to both iPhone and non-iPhone users.
2. Yes. True. Don't think there's any "truth" to the "controversy" you may have heard about iOS 8.2 or 8.3. However, it's certainly true (as well as known and expected) that each OS upgrade will likely take up more space than the previous on. Note also that I would not recommend a 16 GB iPhone to anyone. Certainly not if you are already asking about storage space.
3. Buying an unlocked phone is your best option if you want the most flexibility with carriers. There's NO truth to the second sentence. The user just needs to make sure that they fully sign out of iCloud and Find My iPhone before the next user attempts to use the phone.
4. I don't use Chromcast.
5. No. The Control Center is not currently customizable.
6. Do you still have access to the iCloud account for that phone?
4. A search for chromecast in the AppStore yielded 99 results. No experience with any of them though.
5. The Launcher app might work but not sure.
6. Log into iCloud.com in a web browser and see if they are there.
Fair enough. . . . Let me add this: the best part about using Apple products is the overall user experience and customer service. Apple does these things better than anyone else.
So, does that mean if one is factory resetting it will there be a prompt to turn off Find my iPhone?
And if the person did turned if off will i be able to use the iPhone with all its functions & features as normal?
What would the reasons a person is selling and and i won't be able to use it because some features are "locked"?
1. I don't remember if there is a prompt or not. But it is easy enough to turn off.
2. Yes you will be able to use all functions.
3. They stole or "found" it and don't have the credentials to turn off Find my iPhone. And you would essentially have a paperweight if it wasn't turned off. If it's not turned off before factory reset, you can't access the phone at all until you enter the correct iCloud ID and password.
Is there a limit to how many photos one can send from Messages considering they are standard 8MP photos?
Re iCloud will there be always a prompt to the user to turn off iCloud and Find my iPhone before factory resetting it?
The maximum is 20 photos at one time.
I think that there's a prompt. But as noted above, it's easy enough to do without a prompt.
The seller ha an unlocked iPhone. No iCloud logged in or Find my iPhone app. Does this sound Ok for you guys?

The Leap Manifesto: One Year Later
We've just celebrated the first anniversary of the Leap Manifesto—and what a year it has been. Thank you to all of you who have signed the manifesto, talked to your friends and neighbours, and organized events, debates and actions in your workplaces, communities and in the streets. Let's keep it going!
To mark the Leap's anniversary, Naomi Klein gave us a glimpse into her latest thinking on climate and reconciliation. In an op-ed drawn from her lecture The Leap Years: Canada Beyond Extractivism (at right) she argues that Canada's founding myths are holding us back from climate action — that "first and foremost, this country was built on voraciously devouring wildness." But there is a future beyond extraction, and that's where we need to go.
We know we can change the story, moving towards a Canada based on caring for the earth and one another.
We have spent part of the past few months in reflection and deep conversation with partners and are making ambitious plans for the Leap in the year ahead.
We're strongest when we come together, and you can be sure we want you to be a part of it all. Onwards!
To celebrate, we've compiled some of our favourite moments from the past year:
LEAP MANIFESTO TOP TEN
1. Canadian Parliamentary Poet Laureate George Elliott Clarke closes the inaugural reading of the Manifesto with an impassioned call for climate action and social justice.
2. The Manifesto garners 10,000 signatures within 24 hours of its launch.
3. Artists interpret the Leap's positive vision for a post-carbon future.
4. An unprecedented coalition of organizations and political and cultural figures unite in support of a justice-based transition away from fossil fuels.
5. An EKOS poll reveals huge support for the Leap Manifesto across Canada.
6. The NDP passes a resolution to discuss the Leap Manifesto in riding associations across the country in the lead-up to their 2018 policy convention.
7. The Leap Manifesto inspires similar initiatives around the world, from Nunavut to Australia to Denmark. At the United Nations climate negotiations in Paris, CNN calls the Leap "a blueprint that could be used across the world."
8. From Vancouver to Zagreb, hundreds of activists organize scores of events for Leap Day on February 29, 2016.
9. Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall calls "Grim Leapers" a threat to the economy, misrepresenting scientific research showing Canada could move to 100% clean energy by 2050. The Leap and allies return fire in an epic social media battle.
10. The Leap launches Delivering Community Power together with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, Friends of Public Services and others — a proposal to turn our post office into the engine of the next green economy.
2021 The Leap

During the talks with Venezuelan diplomats on Tuesday, Pence said that Washington strongly supports the country's National Assembly and self-declared interim President Juan Guaido. "We're in a historic battle", Maduro told several hundred troops standing in formation around armoured vehicles. Opposition politician Gilbert Caro shouts "Free elections" in a walk out against President Nicolas Maduro, in Caracas, Venezuela.
Traditionally, Canada and Venezuela produce heavy oil that compete for space in the USA market. Despite the increase in shale oil, most of it is domestically consumed and transported by trains and lorries which are much more fuel efficient than supertankers, thus depriving the Oil industry of an important demand driver: the number of vessels carrying Venezuelan crude oil has declined by 20% in the past two years.
USA and Chinese negotiators start two days of high-level talks Wednesday aimed at settling a six-month trade war that has weakened both sides, shaken financial markets and clouded the outlook for the global economy. The Chinese delegation will be led by Vice Premier Liu He, a close economic adviser of Mr Xi, and central bank governor Yi Gang. Trump has threatened to extend the tariffs to an additional $267 billion in Chinese goods.
A Huawei spokesman did not immediately return phone messages seeking comment. The charges follow the December 1 arrest of Huawei CFO Wanzhou Meng, who faces the possibility of decades in jail. They falsely claimed that Huawei had sold its interest in Skycom to an unrelated third party in 2007 and that Skycom was merely Huawei's local business partner in Iran.
The Congressional Budget Office Report predicts a $118 billion increase over last year's $779 billion deficit. Hall spoke to reporters on Capitol Hill Monday about the CBO's Budget and Economic Outlook 2019 to 2029 report, but was asked to comment on the effects of the Trump shutdown , which the CBO estimated at $11 billion.
The influential conservative news website Drudge Report in a banner headline made a point of saying the deal contained "No Wall Funds". Trump's retreat came in the 35th day of the partial shutdown as intensifying delays at the nation's airports and a missed payday for hundreds of thousands of federal workers brought new urgency to efforts to resolve the standoff.
Major Gulf oil exporters, including Saudi Arabia, have posted budget deficits since the crash of the global oil market in 2014. The International Monetary Fund has cut its forecast for world economic growth this year, citing heightened trade tensions and rising US interest rates.
Canadian-American science-fiction drama " Travelers " also used stock footage from 2013, but producers Peacock Alley Entertainment have apologized and announced they would soon edit it out. The company's outlook for first-quarter earnings and revenue also came in weaker than analysts were anticipating. Still, most of Netflix's growth is coming from overseas.
West Texas Intermediate crude for February delivery rose $1.73 to settle at $53.80 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange . It is expected, that during the current period of the cuts, until June 2019, OPEC and allies will remove a total of 1.195 million bpd off the market and keep production at 43.874 million bpd.

The probe did not find any other misconduct involving Ghosn at Mitsubishi Motors and its affiliate companies, it said. But Ghosn is also facing a wave of other allegations over suspect payments, including a claim by Nissan today that he received almost eight million euros in "improper payments" from a Netherlands-based joint venture.
The launch of the EV is part of an aggressive product release movement by GM who plans to release a new model every 6 months between now and 2021. The new electric Caddy SUV will be GMs first electric auto to use GM's new third-generation electric-car architecture, with a versatile "skateboard" chassis and a battery-pack design that can accommodate different capacities in the same format.
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said on Twitter her department and the Secret Service were prepared to handle a presidential speech at the Capitol. Talks between President Trump and Democratic congressional leaders broke down a week ago when Trump walked out of a meeting with top Democrats after Pelosi told the president she would not be willing to cede to the president's demand for wall funding if the government reopened.
Britain is legally on track to leave the European Union with or without a deal on March 29, unless it delays or stops the process. In the case of support a vote of no confidence the Parliament has 2 weeks to form a new government or vote for the "restoration of confidence" in the team Mei; both options seem unlikely.
The powerful committee also oversees the USA housing market, insurance and global finance sectors, among other areas. Ocasio-Cortez wants to raise taxes to pay for her " Green New Deal ", a fiscal juggernaut ostensibly aimed at fighting climate change that could dwarf Great Society expenditures.

After 2.5 Years of Covering Boston Tech, I'm Leaving BostInno — Here's Why


Book designer and author Joel Friedlander takes a look at pitfalls self-publishers face when doing their own book formatting, and explains how to avoid these mistakes in the first place.
With more and more authors taking the production of their books into their own hands, more and more of those books look... strange. That's not a good thing for either authors or their readers.
So, it really behooves authors who decide to become DIY publishers to educate themselves as to how books are supposed to look, how they are constructed, and what book professionals expect to see. As my father used to say, it doesn't cost any more to print a book that's properly designed and laid out than it does to print one that's a typographic train wreck, so why not do it right the first time?
"If you want your book to be taken seriously, it's important that you take book design and layout just as seriously."
2. Folios running rampant: We need folios (that's what book designers call page numbers) on most of the pages in our book, but not all. Remember to turn off page numbering for the title page, the copyright page, any blank pages, any "display" pages like part-openers, and any advertising pages at the end of the book.
3. Running heads misbehaving: This seems to be a challenge for a lot of amateur book formatters. If a page is blank—and there are usually going to be a number of blank pages in your book—technically it's not part of the text. After all, there's no text on the page, is there? A blank page should be just that: blank, with nothing on it at all. By the same token, those "display" pages mentioned above shouldn't have running heads—text at the top of the page that lists title, author, chapter, etc.—on them either. Yet many books I've seen from self-publishers show that the author just didn't know that, or didn't know how to turn the running heads off—and nothing looks worse to me than a chapter-opening page with a running head on it.
4. Ragged composition: Here's another oddity you may never have seen before. Of course, there are books that can be typeset in a rag-right style to good effect. (This means the type is unjustified, so the right-hand margin is uneven, unlike most books, the margins of which are perfectly squared away on both sides of the type column.) Examples include art, architecture, poetry, photo books, and similar illustrated works—but not memoirs, novels, histories, or other standard trade books. Whatever the merit of rag-right composition, these books aren't a good place for it. Stick with justified copy.
There are a lot of other ways your book might inadvertently signal that you're a design "amateur," but these five errors, once you know about them, are easy to avoid. You want your book to stand out for your great writing, thoughtful arguments, or the tremendous value it brings to readers, not because it looks unprofessional.
Remember, if you want your book to be taken seriously, it's important that you take book design and layout just as seriously. And, if this seems disturbingly detailed, you can always hire a professional book designer—and make sure that everyone who holds a copy of your book in their hands will recognize, consciously or unconsciously, that it has been properly constructed, providing a comfortable experience for your readers.
Joel Friedlander is a book designer and author; he blogs about book design, marketing, and the future of the book at thebookdesigner.com.


Otakuthon is an anime convention that takes place at the Palais de Congres in the Canadian city of Montreal. This year I had the pleasure of having a nice quiet drive up to the con by myself and my playlist.
Otakuthon is one of those conventions that just isn't english, it's mainly french, but with a slice of english; still not enough to get me purchase any french manga though. The drive down to Montreal wasn't all that bad, bar the almost rear-ending of the woman in front of me when she slammed her brakes at a red light.
I love Otakuthon for a number of reason, the first is how close the hotels and parking lots are! Every year I easily manage to get the parking in the same lot and the hotel is almost always across the street. Very convenient for the cosplayers with bulky costumes. Otakuthon is still a smaller convention but growing at a rapid pace. For reference, the attendance this year was about 17.5K (about 4k more than last year), and pretty much double of that from 2011 (when I first attended Otakuthon). The Friday afternoon/evening this year did feel congested in the main lobby area, I was surprised how busy it was all three days. I'm willing to bet the presence WCS had a bit of influence on the numbers, for good reason!
As was stated in my Photoshoot journal, I had a ton of requests for shoots at this con, with the selection of beautiful locations to shoot at I can't blame them haha. Unfortunately I had to dwindle it down to about 13 which is less than half... A lot of awesome costumes this year, definitely a step-up from last year.
I had a nice group of Sailor Moon scouts to shoot, we shot at the one fountain a bit up north, but took the bad alley full of homeless on the way back. There was a pack of like 20, some making cat-calls at the scouts. That's why I tried to take the group around but hey! Right after I headed back to the hall for the WCS (World Cosplay Summit) event.
A total of 8 teams made it to the finals, but only one, could be crowned champion. Congrats to Detailed Illusions and Messy Mia (Team Detailed Mess) as the Grand-Prize winners, with MeltingMirror and CosplayCalamity (Team Polar Diamond) as the Runners Up! I did photograph both WCS event and awards ceremony on Sunday, lots of emotions at that one! : ) The winners will be going to Japan in 2015 to represent Canada in a "Observer" status!
A few notes I'd like to mention, Otakuthon seems to always have the greatest number of interested passerby's who love to check what's going on. For the most part this is fine, but this also means there's a bigger number of people who aren't as sure how to approach/interact with the community. You have the drivers who race by who scream something completely incoherent, or the model-wannabe's with ego who have to have a photo with whatever attractive female cosplayer he lays eyes on. To me there was a particular situation when an older gentleman with a DSLR/Bridge camera entered my bubble. My bubble has two modes, Soft&Warm and Adamantium-Spikes.
It was during the afternoon at the ever-popular fire fountain, a decent number of people where taking pictures and doing their thing. While I'm doing my photoshoot, this man insisted on taking photos from many angles (without asking or saying anything I might add) of the various cosplayers in the area, then came to mine. I bumped into him TWICE because he was in my bubble. First time he was to my 7 o'clock and bumped into him while moving over a bit; I looked right at him raised my hand and smacked him remarked "C'mon". Went back to shooting, a few moments later I'm backing up to get some distance and I bump into a body/hands holding a camera. I turn around raise both my hands and smack him harder in a loud voice say "Can you give me some room buddy?!" He wasn't part of the con, but he also didn't have common-sense on where to place himself when taking pictures.
I noticed one other instance when watching a photographer friend of mine taking some shots and another photographer holding a light stand asks him if he can take a shot/how much longer he's gonna be, to which he annoyedly replies 10/15 minutes. The other photographer more or less scuffs at that and walks away. Again, this topic will probably come forth in a future article, I want to talk more about it.
I had a fun dinner on Friday night with a bunch of cosplayers and friends, we did finally manage to find the restaurant after a good while of deliberation and navigation. Lots to choose from all nearby. I was rooming with the superstar VickyBunnyAngel and her BF at the Embassy Suites hotel and they had free breakfast in the morning. That was a nice Kudos to save on money and walking time. Though the eggs resembled gelatine, the bacon more than made up for it. I even managed to get a pull-out couch this year! : D Definitely an upgrade from last year's tile floot+couchcusions & carpet nights. Saturday night I visited two party rooms, they were both in the same hotel, same floor, right beside each other... which made it convenient. It was an interesting contrast in the types of people each room had.
It's an unfortunate reality, but there are a lot of homeless around the city and some of them make you feel a bit cautious when wandering alone at night.
I think that about wraps it up for my post. I do some tweeting during cons, so be sure to follow me if you're into that.
Be sure to check out the Con Gallery for all the photos I took, you may find yourself!
Thanks for reading the lengthy post!

Westwood One Adding The Jim Ross Report
Westwood One continues to strengthen its digital offerings from the squared circle. The nation's largest U.S. audio network has come to terms with legendary WWE Hall of Famer, announcer, and talent executive Jim Ross to move his popular podcast to the Westwood One Podcast Network. The weekly podcast will officially debut in early April with a new name: The Jim Ross Report.
The Jim Ross Report will offer listeners unique and educated opinions on the ever-growing sports entertainment business. His addition to Westwood's digital roster couldn't come at a better time. WWE is set to kick off its biggest show of the year WrestleMania on Sunday April 8th.
"This proud partnership is an impressive match between two legendary brands- Jim Ross and Westwood One," said Suzanne Grimes, EVP Marketing, Cumulus Media and President, Westwood One. "Jim always brings it, which is why he has such a passionate fan base and massive social media following. We can't wait to share the first episode of The Jim Ross Report with his highly-engaged audience."
"'Business Has Picked Up' in the land of podcasting as the new The Jim Ross Report debuts to the world on Westwood One in early April. Asses will be verbally kicked and names will be taken. You've been warned," added Ross.

"If I'm like 'Damn I got to take a flight up there every week, I got to get suits', then I don't really want to do that."
Former NFL defensive end Chris Long has found his niche in the media space as the host of The Green Light Podcast and it is an outlet that he has been very comfortable with in terms of expressing his opinions.
Long was a guest on The Season with Peter Schrager podcast and he told Schrager that on the occasions when he has been an analyst on television, the attention he got was not something he was completely comfortable with.
"Sure, I maybe could work towards having one of those good jobs, but I also understand there's a big process with that.
"I've been at a crossroads at times as a media guy where I'm like 'Should I just do that?' If I got to ask myself, then I don't really want it. If I'm like 'Damn I got to take a flight up there every week, I got to get suits', then I don't really want to do that and honestly, the couple of times I've been on TV, I don't like the attention."
One of the reasons Long mentioned why he isn't comfortable being on TV is he doesn't want to feel like he has to perform and on his podcast, he can be himself.
"Being on TV, I get really uncomfortable performing. I don't like performing and I don't like being told what to say. Here, that never happens. For the most part, I think finding your groove in this side of things is just having conversations…It's just a nice change of pace."
Long also feels that in this day and age of social media, it's a constant argument about any NFL point that is being made and that is not something he wants to deal with.
"The world of podcasting has gotten better where the money is very good. Maybe I'd be making a little less money starting out doing studio stuff. For me, I do not like — whether it's Twitter or whether it's a guy on the street — I'm over arguing with people."

Known as one of NASCAR's more outspoken drivers, Hamlin has been fined several times under the "actions detrimental to stock car racing" statutes.
Denny Hamlin jokingly thanked Dirty Mo Media for the "opportunity and the fat check" the company wrote for him to host the podcast in a Twitter announcement.

The podcast is the latest in an expansion of content produced by the Mooresville, North Carolina-based digital outlet. After beginning with The Dale Jr. Download, the company has grown to include other podcasts like Door, Bumper, Clear, and Speed Street, as well as video projects like The Next Level.

Suffer delays with wine bars, spas, gyms
Airport amenities can make delays more bearable
XpresSpa operates day spas in 11 departure terminals
Local musicians can be heard at the airport in Austin, Texas
Sophisticated wine bars have opened in some airports
Next Article in Travel »
By Neil E. Schlecht
(LifeWire) -- Every week for more than a year of his travels, Jay Lenstrom, the chief executive of Chicago-based Radiate Group, got stuck for several hours at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina. He tried to make the best of it.
Exotic gardens help travelers relax at Singapore's Changi International Airport.
"I created my own little triathlon," said Lenstrom. "I would record my time splits in a little book. On morning delays I'd go: one, Starbucks; two, shoeshine; three, rocking chairs. On evening delays, it would be: one, shoeshine; two, rocking chairs; three, piano bar."
These days, Lenstrom's quest for an airport diversion to make the best of delays is far from unique as on-time performance continues to be dismal.
The U.S. Department of Transportation ranked Newark Liberty International Airport as the worst for on-time arrivals between January and August; John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City was at the bottom for on-time departures. New York's other major airport, LaGuardia, also ranked near the bottom in both categories.
Maria Link, a homemaker and mother of two who recently moved with her family from Dallas to Dubai when her husband was relocated for work, isn't prepared to give LaGuardia Airport a break.
"I think someone needs to rip LaGuardia to shreds," she said. "What a (lousy) place to be delayed. Every flight in and out of that airport is delayed! I despise that airport."
If you can arrange to pass through certain airports, your travel trauma is likely to decrease. Salt Lake City International Airport was No. 1 for on-time arrivals between January and August, while Portland (Oregon) International Airport was tops for on-time departures. San Diego International Airport also did well, making both lists at No. 3.
At the same time, airports are promoting services and amenities that can reduce some of the stress associated with delays -- like serenading stranded travelers with live music, tempting them with sophisticated wine bars and offering spas and gyms to work off their worries.
Airports starting to look more like malls
In Depth: Road Warriors
A massage or workout may be the best stress relief. XpresSpa operates day spas in 11 departure terminals, including Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, Philadelphia and Kennedy in New York, offering foot massages and treatments including seaweed facials.
McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas boasts 24-Hour Fitness, where you can kick box or take a spinning class, while the Absolute Spa in Vancouver International Airport features yoga and a lap pool. Hotels at terminals in Detroit Metro and Chicago O'Hare also have gyms open to the public for $15 per day or less."
Live music, food and wine
Airports have struck upon music and food as a way to impart a sense of place while distracting travelers from the fact that they're stuck in an airport. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport features local musicians on weekday afternoons, celebrating the city's reputation as the live music capital of the world. Austin is also well represented by a number of local restaurants that have airport concessions, including The Salt Lick, a local barbecue institution.
Memphis International Airport features such offerings as the Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum gift shop and the landmark Jim Neely's Interstate Bar-B-Que, while at Boston Logan International Airport, passengers can savor New England clam chowder and fried clams at Legal Sea Foods (and even get live lobsters to go).
What could be more appropriate at an airport than a wine flight? Vino Volo operates wine bars in five airports across the country with plans to add up to 10 additional outlets next year.
Kid-friendly features
For families, delays might be most trying of all.
"What makes the difference when delayed with kids is the airline lounges," said Maria Link. "The Admirals Club at DFW has a special room for kids with computer games and cartoons."
Several airports go a step further. O'Hare features a play area in terminal two designed by the Chicago Children's Museum. San Francisco International Airport's SFO Kids' Spot in terminal three features a crawling apparatus and a plasma wall that shoots arcs of energized color when activated by sound. Vancouver's newly expanded international terminal has a man-made stream that leads to a 30,000-gallon aquarium filled with 850 sea creatures and a 1,000-gallon jellyfish tank.
If you must be delayed, one of the best airports to be stuck in is Singapore's Changi International Airport, named the best airport in the world for the past two decades by Business Traveler magazine, which praises its "smooth efficiency, calm atmosphere and wide range of facilities and services."
Among the amenities the airport offers are exotic gardens, a two-hour tour of nearby Singapore, napping rooms, a movie theater and a full schedule of entertainment events including public appearances by music and sports stars. The airport has even received the Golden Pillow Award from the Web site SleepingInAirports.com for 10 years running.
"All in all a great experience," wrote one visitor to Changi Airport on the Web site. "I spent 20 hours there, and if I wasn't so tired I easily could have spent another 20." E-mail to a friend

Diabetes Research at Yale
Studies of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes, in addition to Obesity and Weight Management
For decades, Yale University has been committed to better understanding the causes and treatment of diabetes. From the first successful studies of insulin pump technology in the 1970s, to current investigations directed at understanding the cellular mechanisms underlying Type 2 diabetes and the immunologic basis of Type 1 diabetes, Yale is at the forefront of diabetes research. Clinician-scientists at Yale University School of Medicine have received numerous grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the American Diabetes Association and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) to support ongoing innovative and cutting-edge research in diabetes and metabolic disorders.
Like many discoveries, the development of the first insulin pump was a combination of ingenuity and teamwork. In 1979, Dr. Robert Sherwin and Dr. William Tamborlane developed the insulin pump to treat Type 1 diabetes. Today, it's used by more than 350,000 diabetic patients and its popularity continues to grow. Without volunteers like the children and their families who were willing to participate in clinical research, this groundbreaking discovery would not have been possible.
Yale's tradition of discovery continues through research to improve our understanding of diabetes and obesity, including prevention, causes and better treatments – but we can't do any of this without you! By participating in a research study, you are not only able to help others in the future, but you may gain access to new treatments before they are widely available and could be the first to benefit from such treatments. You are also able to obtain care from specialists at a leading healthcare facility while participating in a study.
We are currently recruiting volunteers ages 18-85 with overweight, obesity, and Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Healthy volunteers are also needed.
Compensation up to $800.

On August 5, 2014, 25-year-old Kelsey Zionskowski got off of a TriMet bus onto SE McLoughlin Boulevard near SE River Rd. She was on her way home from work at Oregon Health Sciences University, where she is working as a Clinical Student Worker. Kelsey walked to a crosswalk and was standing waiting to cross McLoughlin. She was struck by a southbound car when it left its lane of travel. Kelsey was seriously injured, with massive trauma to both legs.
After being transported by AMR to OHSU, she lost her left leg. Her right leg was severely injured as well. She also suffered other injuries in the crash and will never fully recover. Several surgeries are still in her future.
Kelsey is a mother of a 5-year-old son, Santino, and is also a medical student at Portland State University, majoring in Psychology. Kelsey is facing overwhelming medical costs and needs help from the community.

Earning a move to Manchester City last year, Fernando has brought the same dogged enthusiasm, skill and aggression to the Premier League, sending fear through the top flight English football.


I'm better than my boss thinks I am!
It is no secret to the working world that many organizations today are in turmoil. The recession has caused companies to have to downsize, reorganize, merge, be subjected to greater regulatory scrutiny, and in some cases go out of business. These tumultuous events have put a new face on such things as organizational politics, dysfunction, and opportunities for advancement. This month's LTAW theme is: Work: It's a crazy place these days!
Depending upon your organizational cultural, taking a risk and making a mistake might be OK. Last week we wrote about different organizational cultures, if your company has an entrepreneurial culture you may be encouraged to step outside the box and try something new. If you fail, so what, at least you learned something along the way. Not all companies are so forgiving, especially older, more traditional corporations. You may work for a company with a culture that never forgets. You make one mistake and that mistake hovers over you like a cloud your whole career.
If you are in a situation where you just cannot seem to shake your "bad reputation", here are some tips on how to get the message across that you really are a competent employee.
Name the elephant in the room. You know it's there, they know it's there, so just put it all out on the table. Talk about what happened in the past to cause this negative reputation to follow you and explain your side of the situation. Let your supervisor know what you have learned from that experience and how you do not want that situation to keep you from potential opportunities.
Speak to your accomplishments. Since the time of your infamous mistake, you have probably achieved numerous accomplishments as you were trying to re-prove yourself. Make sure that your boss and other colleagues are aware of what you have achieved since that time. Keep a file of all of the good stuff that can be shared during your annual or semi-annual evaluation.
Get feedback. Get an assessment of how others view your work by asking for feedback on your competence from your peers as well as your superiors. Some companies do this formally through what is known as 360-degree feedback. This type of feedback typically includes direct feedback from an employee's subordinates, peers, and supervisor(s), as well as a self-evaluation. If your company does offer this type of assessment, consider obtaining feedback from your immediate work circle informally.
Seek new opportunities. Seek out additional opportunities where your capabilities can shine. Volunteer to be on a committee or a special project. This not only allows you to showcase your skills, but it also shows that you are a dedicated employee.
The ultimate goal here is to change that negativity cloud that has been hovering over your career masking all of your positive contributions.

When resources are not used effectively or fairly, when you have polarizing leadership and divisive management, or when barriers to communication cripple performance, you're dealing with a dysfunctional company. An organizational culture consists of underlying assumptions, or unspoken/unwritten rules, that can lead to an unhealthy work environment. The infographic below illustrates 5 signs that your organization may be dysfunctional.
Is your organization dysfunctional? What are some of the telltale signs?

How many of us actually like change? I have occasionally met people who s ay, a�?I love change!a�? and truly mean it, but probably very few of us seek out change. Entire fields of study have been developed around it. Bestselling books have been written on how to cope with it. And yet, while change itself is inevitable, how to control change remains elusive.
In this economy, one of the more common changes experienced in the workplace is the change brought on by a merger or acquisition. Of course, the actual merger/acquisition is just the beginning of the changes in the affected companies. The best case scenario is that it will not affect you in any way, having no change on your day-to-day routine. The best case scenario is rare.
So, what should you do if you are part of a company that is in the throes of a merger/acquisition? During times of change, ita��s important to focus on the only thing that we can control a�� ourselves. We cana��t change the situation, but there are many things we can do to cope with it. Below are just a few.
We can think of any kind of change as something that happens to us or something that happens through us. Look at the big picture. Ita��s natural to worry, a�?Whata��s going to happen to me?a�? but in the end, you are at work to do a job. Dona��t let fear paralyze you. Dona��t sit still. Keep up your performance, and dona��t participate in negative conversation. You may be reporting to a new manager, and like it or not, impressions count. A positive attitude can go a long way.
Take every opportunity you can to learn about what is going on in the organization. Read communications carefully. Attend employee meetings. Understand the new structure within the organization. Most importantly, keep lines of communication open a�� both between you and your manager, and between you and people you manage. Identify the top 3-5 things that you should be focusing on during this time, and concentrate your energy there.
During times of change, there are often opportunities to learn new skills. Some basic tasks and requirements for your job may change. Learn them. Instead of focusing on problems, build the skills and knowledge necessary to work towards solutions. Identify where there might be gaps in knowledge in the new organization, and use your knowledge and experience to fill that gap.
We can look at change in a positive or negative light, but whatever attitude we take, the only thing for sure is that change happens. During a merger/acquisition, it is important to keep the big picture in mind while focusing on those things under our control. Develop yourself as the organization develops, and you may just discover a new and challenging role you might not have found had the merger/acquisition not happened.

Literature Review on Gender Differences in Coping Strategies of Human Beings

Essay title: Literature Review on Gender Differences in Coping Strategies of Human Beings
It is an established fact that men and women differ in many ways, with different emotions and perceptions, with different personality characteristics (Burr, 1998). There has been much debate regarding the different gender related issues as more and more researches are being conducted. Although much of the research on gender is surrounded by controversy, researchers still ponder over different issues concerning gender differences. Many issues have been taken to account such as stress levels, adaptation and social relationships which are some of the areas in which there are significant gender differences (Larsen & Buss, 2002). Gender difference in coping is an interesting issue among these various issues regarding gender differences. The different coping styles adapted by the different sexes itself shows that there are evident differences between how both sexes cope with stress and chaotic life experiences. Researches show that men adapt more action direct approaches than women in stressful work situations (Porter & Stone, 1995). This literature review focuses on 8 different researches done illustrating this issue.
In a research done by Fagot & Hamilton, 1988 a comparison of chronic stress and coping styles of female and male undergraduates were done. The aim of this study was to "study the expressive instrumental coping dichotomy by evaluating gender differences to stressful events that are experienced on a daily basis by men and women" (Fagot et al. 1988, p.819). 56 women and 43 men from University of Oregon who were in their first year of undergraduate level were selected as participants. 3 telephone interviews per week for 8 weeks were conducted by trained research assistants. By the end of 24 phone calls the number of participants was declined to 51 women and 39 men. "The coping strategies were coded as expressive or instrumental" (Fagot et al. 1988, p.821). Expressive was when the coping strategy used by the participant was mainly focused on feelings, emotions and thoughts without any focus on solving the problem or improvising the situation. Instrumental was when the coping strategy was rather focused on solving the problem on a behavioral or cognitive basis. "Analyses of variance were used to test gender differences in frequency of daily stressors, concomitant perceptions of stress, and utilization of problem-solving behaviors" (Fagot et al. 1988, p.819). The hypothesis that was used was that men and women use different strategies to cope with certain stressful situations. The most of the analyses showed no significant differences in the coping styles, however more number of women reported facing stressful situations than the number of men and there were certain differences in the types of situations such as unhappiness with weight for women (Fagot et al. 1988)
Another study portraying this topic was conducted by William Borden and Sharon Berlin in 1990. The main focus of this study was to determine the relationships among gender, coping styles and psychological well-being in spouses of older adults with chronic dementia. 61 participants majority consisting of women by 59 percent, who were spousal caregivers of older adults with chronic dementia were taken as subjects. The participants underwent self-report instruments and a questionnaire that assessed demographic data, illness characteristics, average amount of time spent with patient and use of supportive services (Berlin & Borden, 1990). The seriousness of dementia as to be found on the degree of memory and behavioral impairment was determined by the Memory and Behavior Problems Checklist, Part A (Zarit and Zarit , 1983 as cited by Berlin et al. 1990). Coping strategies were assessed by the Ways of Coping Checklist (Lazarus and Folkman, 1984 as cited by Berlin et al. 1990), in order to assess the coping strategies and well-being further. The results showed that no sex differences were found in five types of emotion-focused coping. They were wishful thinking, detachment, focusing on the positive, keeping to self, and self-blame. However on the other two types women showed to go for more. They are support seeking and tense reduction strategies. These results seem to imply that there are no significant differences between the two sexes when coping strategies are concerned (Berlin et al. 1990)
A research named �Patterns of Coping Preferences for Male and Female Caregivers of Frail Older Adults' was conducted by Helen M. De Veries, David W. Hamilton, Steven Lovett and Dolores Gallagher-Thompson in 1997. The aim of this study was to learn about the similarities and differences in male and female caregivers' preferred strategies for coping and the perceived helpfulness of these strategies in managing caregiving stressors were examined in this study (DeVeries et al, 1997). The subjects in this study consisted of 139 men and 31 women

Q: How to create / instantiate pairing agent on D-Bus with Qt I'm trying to build a Qt application for pairing / connecting bluetooth devices on a Linux device. I'm using the BlueZ API (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc) over D-Bus as descibed in the BlueZ official site (http://www.bluez.org/page/8/).
The general procedure is described in here:
https://www.kynetics.com/docs/2018/pairing_agents_bluez/
At the moment, I can use the APIs for pairing/connecting devices without problems.
BUT I cannot figure out how to use the pairing agent.
I'm trying to follow the direction pointed out here:
How can i set the bluetooth pin number in linux C/C++
QDBusAbstractAdaptor object does not export implemented dbus interface
I searched a lot on the web and there are tons of code:
https://github.com/sdemario/qt-bluez-demos
https://github.com/KDE/bluez-qt
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/bluetooth/bluez/+/froyo-release/test/agent.c
https://github.com/pauloborges/bluez/blob/master/client/agent.c
https://www.linumiz.com/bluetooth-connectdevice-without-scanning/
but, still, I can't understand how this works. There are also a lot of scripts in python out there, but I'm working with C++.
My (pseudo)-code is the following:
agentManager = new QDBusInterface("org.bluez","/org/bluez","org.bluez.AgentManager1",QDBusConnection::systemBus(),this);
agent = new QDBusInterface("org.bluez","/org/bluez/agent","org.bluez.Agent1",QDBusConnection::systemBus(),this);

QDBusReply<void> reply;

reply = agentManager->call("RegisterAgent", QVariant::fromValue(QDBusObjectPath(path)), capability);
if (!reply.isValid()) {
    qDebug() << reply.error().message() << reply.error().name();
}

reply = agentManager->call("RequestDefaultAgent", QVariant::fromValue(QDBusObjectPath(path)));
if (!reply.isValid()) {
    qDebug() << reply.error().message() << reply.error().name();
}

QDBusReply<QString> reply_str = agent->call("RequestPinCode", QVariant::fromValue(QDBusObjectPath(path)));
if (reply_str.isValid()) {
    pincode = reply_str.value();
} else {
    qDebug() << reply_str.error().message() << reply.error().name();
}

The "RegisterAgent" and "RequestDefaultAgent" calls give a valid reply, while, the "RequestPinCode" gives an error:
"Method "RequestPinCode" with signature "o" on interface "org.bluez.Agent1" doesn't exist
" "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject"
Why? What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
EDIT
I implemented a brand new service on D-Bus, which implements the org.bluez.Agent1 interface (at leat a part of it). Now, the code looks like this:
MyObject* myObject = new MyObject();
MyAdaptor* myAdaptor = new MyQDusAdaptor(myObject);

if (QDBusConnection::systemBus().registerService("org.test")) {
    qDebug() << "registerService was Succesfull!";
} else {
    qDebug() << "registerService was not Succesfull!";
}

if(QDBusConnection::systemBus().registerObject("/pairing/agent",myObject)){
    qDebug() << "registerObject was Succesfull!";
} else {
    qDebug() << "registerObject was not Succesfull!";
}

agentManager->RegisterAgent(QDBusObjectPath("/pairing/agent"),"NoInputNoOutput");
agentManager->RequestDefaultAgent(QDBusObjectPath("/pairing/agent"));

where the MyObject is

class MyObject : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    MyObject();

public Q_SLOTS:
    QString RequestPinCode(const QDBusObjectPath &in0);
};

MyObject::MyObject() {

}
QString MyObject::RequestPinCode(const QDBusObjectPath& in0)
{
    qDebug() << "MyObject" << in0.path();

    QString str = "2974";
    return str;
}

and the adaptor is

class MyQDusAdaptor: public QDBusAbstractAdaptor
{

    Q_OBJECT
    Q_CLASSINFO("D-Bus Interface", "org.bluez.Agent1")
    Q_CLASSINFO("D-Bus Introspection", ""
                                                                         "  <interface name=\"org.bluez.Agent1\">\n"
                                                                         "    <method name=\"RequestPinCode\">\n"
                                                                         "      <arg direction=\"in\" type=\"o\"/>\n"
                                                                         "      <arg direction=\"out\" type=\"s\"/>\n"
                                                                         "    </method>\n"
                                                                         "  </interface>\n"
                                                                         "")

public:
        MyQDusAdaptor(QObject *parent);
        virtual ~MyQDusAdaptor();

public: // PROPERTIES
public Q_SLOTS: // METHODS
        QString RequestPinCode(const QDBusObjectPath &in0);
};

MyQDusAdaptor::MyQDusAdaptor(QObject* parent) : QDBusAbstractAdaptor(parent) {

    setAutoRelaySignals(true);
}

MyQDusAdaptor::~MyQDusAdaptor() {

}

QString MyQDusAdaptor::RequestPinCode(const QDBusObjectPath& in0)
{
    qDebug() << "MyQDusAdaptor" << in0.path();

    QString out0;
         QMetaObject::invokeMethod(parent(), "RequestPinCode", Q_RETURN_ARG(QString, out0), Q_ARG(QDBusObjectPath, in0));
         return out0;
}

When I try to pair a smartphone, the application freezes for ca 30s, I recieve the following error message:
"Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply"
and only after that the smartphone ask to insert a PIN.
I think that has to be done asynchronously. Any tips?

A: Ok, now it works. The way to do it is explained in QDBusAbstractAdaptor object does not export implemented dbus interface
Details of the implementation are in the last EDIT of this question. The last thing to to is to implement the "Pair" method on the Device1 interface asynchronously with callWithCallback:
void cBluetoothDevice::Pair() {

    QList<QVariant> args;
    args.clear();

    device->callWithCallback("Pair",args, this, SLOT(PairSlot(QDBusMessage)));
}

where device is a QDBusInterface*
