Chagos: Re-Awakening the Ghost of the 20th Century
18/09/2022 18/09/2022 Editors Articles
Ankit Malhotra considers the story of Britain's last colony in Africa and the International Court of Justice's Advisory Opinion on the Chagos Archipelago.
'Ghost' is a concept largely evoked in the age of decolonisation, referring to the quest for self-determination; the re-awakening refers to the Chagossian quest to seek re-enjoyment of their land. Reference to this can be found in other contexts of decolonisation too. In addition, this summer, Mr Phillipe Sands QC's course, 'Colonialism: A Short History of International Law in Five Acts' spoke directly to the colonial legacy at the Hague Academy of International Law. As Sands spoke, the images on the screen projected emotive illustrations of a small woman gradually advancing towards the Great Hall of Justice in The Hague. This note discusses the International Court of Justice's Advisory Opinion (AO) in Legal Consequences of the Separation of the Chagos Archipelago from Mauritius in 1965 towards the ghost of decolonisation. The key tenet in the case was the determination of decolonisation and the sovereignty of a State. Sovereignty is embedded as a general principle of international law under Article 2(1) of the United Nations (UN) Charter and customary international law. In addition, it found resonance and formidable support in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples (UNGA Resolution 1514 (XV)). The Declaration is credited with condemning colonialism and all forms of the subjection of peoples to alien domination and exploitation as a denial of the UN Charter and fundamental human rights, as well as calling for the Member States to take steps to implement decolonisation.
The Chagos Archipelago comprises a chain of 60 islands in the Indian Ocean. In 1965, the United Kingdom severed the Chagos Archipelago from neighbouring Mauritius to form part of British Indian Ocean Territory. What followed was a mass expulsion of the population from the Chagos Islands to Mauritius and Seychelles and in 1968 Mauritius gained independence. These forcible evictions cleared the coast, literally and metaphorically, for the British to lease the biggest island of the Archipelago, Diego Garcia. The British employed Diego Garcia as a military satellite to monitor the Indian Ocean and the Far East. Given the highly important military information available, natives' entry was barred.
The eviction of Chagossians was challenged in the British courts. The English Divisional Court and the Court of Appeal initially held that the Chagossian evacuation law was unlawful. Foreign Secretary Robin Cook, in 2000, withdrew the previous order , enabling the Chagossians to return home. However, the subsequent British Indian Ocean Territory (Constitution) Order 2004 reinstated the Chagos Islands' restrictive measures. A second complaint was launched, claiming that this Order was likewise ultra vires. In addition, it was argued that the British Government breached the legitimate expectations of the Chagossians by passing the second Order after creating the impression that they were free to return home.  In Bancoult v Foreign Secretary (No 2) [2008] UKHL 61, the House of Lords held that the new Order was lawful and that considerations of national security and international relations prevented the Court from reviewing the new Order. The English High Court subsequently held that the prohibition, punishment and removal (including by the use of such force as is reasonable in the circumstances) of 'unauthorized' entry and presence was permitted in British Indian Ocean Territory.  In 2015, Bancoult sought leave to appeal to the UK Supreme Court on the basis that the ruling should be overturned owing to the non-disclosure of a 2002 feasibility assessment on Chagos Island resettlement, which was declined by the Supreme Court.
Designing the intelligence of a future day: International Law
All this changed in 2017 when the UNGA challenged the British control and claims to sovereignty over the islands by requesting an AO from the International Court of Justice (ICJ).  In its AO, the ICJ held that 'the United Kingdom is under an obligation to bring to an end its administration of the Chagos Archipelago as rapidly as possible'. The Court recognised the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples as one of the purposes of the UN Charter, recalling the afore-mentioned UNGA resolution 1514(XV) and subsequent versions of it. Moreover, the Court noted that the adoption of UNGA resolution 1514(XV) represented a defining moment in the consolidation of State practice on decolonization' and that '[b]oth State practise and opinio juris at the relevant time confirm the customary law character of the right to the territorial integrity of a non-self-governing territory as a corollary of the right to self-determination'. The Court considered that the peoples of non-self-governing territories are entitled to exercise their right to self-determination about their territory as a whole, the integrity of which must be respected by the administering Power. In India's Written Statements, Ambassador Venu Rajamony emphasised the principle to uphold the process of decolonisation and respect for the sovereignty of nations. He also stressed that British inaction was the motivation for Mauritius to come before the ICJ through the UNGA. Australia, in contrast, contended that the Court is did not have jurisdiction to issue an Opinion or, in the alternative, that the Court should not due to the lack of a 'compelling reasons' to do so.
Next in the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) Special Chamber, the ICJ AO was considered in the maritime delimitation of Mauritius and the Maldives; the Special Chamber declared that the Chagos Opinion had definitively resolved the contested sovereignty dispute. To clarify, the Special Chamber in this instance did not apply the AO in settling the dispute between Mauritius and the UK (which was not a party to ITLOS proceedings); it simply noted that the ICJ's Opinion 'has ramifications for the legal status of' the Chagos Archipelago. Second, the 'legal effect' of the Opinion in resolving such a disagreement is not necessarily the same as the 'legal consequence' of imposing a judgement on the parties. Although it may be feasible for legally enforceable choices to have such an effect, it is not immediately obvious. Thus, irrespective of the binding nature of the ruling, the resolution of a sovereignty issue necessitates an additional legal step (of decolonisation), which appears to be absent here. Oxman warns (at [32]) that 'it risks complicating…the ICJ's exercise of its discretion about AO requests.'
From a legal standpoint, a significant amount will rely on whether other judicial bodies adopt similar arguments. We may see more decisions awarding Advisory Opinions' legal effect. Nonetheless, this may be an isolated incident; a bit of legal sorcery that allows the Special Chamber to disregard jurisdictional hurdles based on a discredited colonial argument. It would not be the first time courts with a clear moral imperative and legal context have deployed such legal imperfections.  In the present instance, it indicates that Mauritius has succeeded in going to a hearing on the merits and could soon add yet another favourable international legal ruling to its increasing docket. On a deeper reading, it becomes evident that the Chagos AO emphasises the determination of the crystallisation of 'right to self-determination' as a customary right, despite an objection from the British. However, the AO lacks an investigation of state practice and opinio juris. In the context of Resolution 1514 (XV), the 'defining moment in the consolidation of state practise' based on 'its content and conditions of its adoption' (para 5), we have a series of unsteady assertions and equally indeterminate conclusions. Customary international law's colonial roots are hard to shake.
Impact and status quo
Immediately following the AO, it seemed that the status quo may be unchanged for the Chagossians. The UK Foreign Office issued a statement strongly defying the AO and emphasising its non-binding nature to escape enforcement or serious consideration. One officer went as far as to suggest that 'the (military) defence facilities on British Indian Ocean Territory help to protect people around the world from organized crime and piracy', thus adding weight to its importance at the cost of violating human rights. In scepticism towards the AO, a spokesperson for the UK Chagos Support Association noted that while 'certainly (the AO) is a win for Mauritius, it remains to be seen whether or not this is a win for the Chagossian people'. However, there have been indications that the ghost is re-awakening. On 22 May 2019, the UNGA voted to adopt the AO.
The International Court of Justice advised the UNGA in May 2019 to recognise Mauritius' sovereignty over the Chagos Archipelago and to not recognise or implement any actions taken by or on behalf of the British Indian Ocean Territory. In response, as an UN-specialised agency, the Universal Postal Union presented the issue to its primary governing body, the Congress, for a vote. Consequently, the UPU will no longer register or distribute, postage stamps issued by the 'British Indian Ocean Territory'. By doing so, they formally acknowledged the Chagos Archipelago as an integral part of the territory of Mauritius.
The imperial ghost has, time and again, haunted former colonial empires. However, what is the legacy of the AO? That question will be added to the long list of concerns of British foreign policy. The unfavourable verdict in the Chagos Case has shaken the roots of British dominance and questioned her authority as a staunch voice of human rights and emancipation. On the other hand, slaying the ghost of self-determination has enabled the Chagossians to seek independence. However, all things considered, the resettlement of Chagossians is uncertain, as Bagchi notes, amid legalese and jurisdictional quagmires, the battle for 'decolonization' was certainly won but what the AO means for the islanders remains rather obscure and unsettled.

Jail problems are called exaggerated Few inmates who had no trial dates were held for long.
While one city jail inmate languished for 505 days without a trial date, most of the 69 prisoners held in similar circumstances had been locked up for less than two months when the problem was discovered in July, according to jail records.
Twenty-two of the inmates had been held more than 60 days, including at least nine who had been held more than 120 days, the records showed. Another 23 had been held fewer than 30 days before jail officials discovered they had no trial dates.
The longest an inmate was held without trial date was 505 days, jail officials disclosed last month. The man was released after theft charges against him were dropped.
Officials disclosed in the summer that three inmates had been held for months without trial dates on relatively minor charges. The disclosures generated a storm of criticism and outrage, as well as national publicity.
Baltimore State's Attorney Stuart O. Simms said that an average incarceration of 60 days showed that critics and the media had exaggerated problems at the jail.
"I think it just was perceived as much more of a problem than it actually was," Simms said. Inmates such as Martin R. Henn, a homeless man held 13 months without being tried on an arson charge, were an "aberration," Simms said.
Leonard A. Sipes Jr., a jail spokesman, said the check of records in July prevented more inmates from languishing for months.
"That is the point that concerns us the most -- that additional offenders would have slipped through the cracks if we hadn't found them and resolved their cases," Sipes said.
"The fact that there were even a handful who were there for months and months without a trial date suggests that there was a big problem," said Stuart Comstock-Gay, director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Maryland.
Jail officials released the list of inmates last week -- a month after The Evening Sun filed a freedom of information request to obtain the information.
The list showed that the 69 inmates were being held on a wide variety of charges, ranging from traffic infractions to murder. Jail records incorrectly suggested that another 24 inmates lacked trial dates. Those inmates, however, had either been released or did indeed have a trial scheduled.
State officials, who took over the jail from the city of Baltimore July 1, said the city's records were inadequate and shoddy. The new jail administration ordered a search of the jail's records to identify inmates who were being held without a trial date.
jTC Baltimore Circuit Court Administrative Judge Joseph H.H. Kaplan said it was inevitable that problems would arise because of a lack of communication between the computer systems used by the state court system and the city jail.
"I think it's a miracle that . . . that's the only problems that really arose," Kaplan said.

By Helygen
This month in SEAN, Helygen has more on the Trainspotting sequel, rumours about new projects featuring Ewen McGregor and Alan Cumming, as well as video of Gerry Butler and Kelly Macdonald on the Late Late Show last week.
Danny Boyle confirms Trainspotting Sequel 'Porno' is on the way
If you're a big fan of Danny Boyle, then you'll know that a Trainspotting sequel has been on the cards for a while. He's certainly talked it up in interviews saying that he really wanted to do it. But now in another interview, he has confirmed that the film is going ahead, with the original cast and writer behind it.
The film will be based on the book Porno, written by Irvine Welsh as a sequel to Trainspotting. It is set ten years after the events of Trainspotting and focuses on the main characters Begbie, Renton, Spud and Sick Boy, only this time set against the porn industry as opposed to heroin addiction.
Boyle confirms that the original cast are on board and keen to get going. Robert Carlyle was quoted elsewhere saying he would do it "tomorrow for nothing" and even Ewan McGregor who was more skeptical, saying a sequel would be a "terrible shame", is reportedly on for it.

Ewan McGregor rumored for 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.'
A few days ago, Film Stage brought the news that Ryan Gosling, Alexander Skarsgård, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt were of interest to Warner Bros. when it comes to Steven Soderbergh's The Man from U.N.C.L.E. It seems as if the casting process has gone an extra step, with word now coming in on actors that might replace the departed George Clooney, as well as more contenders for the Russian spy Illya Kuryakin.
ThePlaylist managed to snag some details on who's catching the attention of the studio and the director — and, boy, it's a pretty wide-ranging list. (Granted, most of them are white men between 30 and 40, but they're from all over the map.) One big name is Michael Fassbender, who recently worked with Soderbergh on the forthcoming Haywire; he's in contention for the lead role of Napoleon Solo. Another actor from that film, Ewan McGregor, is also in the mix, but as Kuryakin — the same part the three previously mentioned thespians are being considered for.

Father & Son debuts in Australia
It is a good thing Father's Day has come and gone because this is not what you would call a 'heart-warming' story about a boy and his dad. As a young man, Michael (Dougray Scott) was a violent thug who led a crime ring on a Manchester estate. Ill-gotten gains paid for the good life until an enemy murdered Michael's wife, sparing his son, Sean (Reece Noi). Flash forward and Michael is living the quiet life in Ireland with a new wife and a baby on the way, while 15-year-old Sean, in the care of Connie, his late mother's sister (a great performance by Sophie Okonedo), finds himself a suspect in a murder case. Still notorious, Michael returns to discover his violent legacy continues and old enemies never die. Created by the team behind Wallander and The Queen, this is a superbly plotted, four-part thriller with an outstanding cast.
The miniseries debuted on Australia's ABC2 on 19 September

Alan Cumming to star in Travis Fine's film
Alan Cumming, Garret Dillahunt, Isaac Leyvastar and Frances Fisher will be starring in the period drama Any Day Now, written, produced and directed by Travis Fine.
The film completed principal photography in Los Angeles and is in post-production. Produced by Kristine Hostetter Fine and Chip Hourihan, the film is produced by Anne O'Shea and Maxine Makover.
Set in the 1970s and inspired by a true story, the film chronicles a gay couple who take in a teenage boy with Down Syndrome who has been abandoned by his drug addicted mother. As the teen discovers the strong bonds of family for the first time in his life, disapproving authorities step in to tear the boy from the stable environment he has known. As the gay men fight to adopt this special needs child, they wage a battle against a system stacked against them.
"I'm a fan of the gritty, character-driven dramas that were made during the 1970's. Any Day Now offers me an opportunity to revisit that time period cinematically, address social issues that are just as relevant today as they were 35 years ago and explore characters who discover love in the most unlikely of places," said Fine.
Cumming plays Rudy Donatello, a drag performer who makes the decision to take the abandoned child into his life. Dillahunt portrays Paul Fleiger, a Deputy District Attorney, who risks his career to fight for the men he loves. Fisher plays a family court judge who is tasked with rendering a decision in the adoption case. Any Day Now introduces Isaac Levya, an actor with Down Syndrome, who makes a debut as Marco, a boy abandoned by his mother only to be taken in by two strangers who provide a safe, stable and loving home.
Set in 1979 and based upon a script written over 30 years ago by George Arthur Bloom, the film explores a wide canvas of issues that are l relevant today from caring for special needs children to gay adoption and equality.
The film is executive-produced by Wayne Smith & Dan Skahan, a gay couple who have fostered more than 30 children and spent ten years fighting the Florida ban on gay adoption.

David Tennant: Life and Fate digital download / Charity auction of Much Ado underwear
Radio 4 production of Life and Fate released next month
Radio 4′s ambitious eight-hour dramatisation of Vasily Grossman's Life and Fate will be available as a digital download from October 10th.
The production features an all-star cast including Kenneth Branagh, David Tennant, Greta Scacchi, Janet Suzman, Kenneth Cranham, Eleanor Bron, Harriet Walter and Philip Madoc.
This powerful work, completed in 1960, charts the fate of both a nation and a family in the turmoil of war.
Its comparison of Stalinism with Nazism was considered by Soviet authorities to be so dangerous that the KGB placed the manuscript under arrest and Grossman was informed his book would not be published for at least 200 years.
Having been a household name as one of Russia's most distinguished war correspondents, Grossman died aged 58 – the banning of his book hastening the end of his life – and he would never know the fate of his masterpiece: smuggled out of the Soviet Union on microfilm, to freedom and eventual publication in the West.
The production is available exclusively as an download and can be ordered via audiogo.co.uk

In the meantime, Life and Fate episodic downloads are available at Anglotopia
David Tennant's undies charity hit as they fetch £252
A pair of boxer shorts signed by David Tennant and the rest of the West End cast of Much Ado About Nothing was sold for £252 on 24 September. The underwear had to be withdrawn from auction previously after they were found not to include the former Doctor Who's signature. They were among other undies put up for auction on eBay to raise money for the Make A Difference foundation.
The charity raises funds to support people living with HIV and AIDS, and those in the entertainment industry facing hardship as a result of long-term medical conditions.
After Bathgate-born Tennant put pen to pants, 41 bids were lodged. Other actors who signed their own pair of briefs included Matt Lucas, Rupert Everett, Richard Blackwood, Kara Tointon and Natalie Casey.
Steven Inman, director of the Make A Difference Trust, said: "This is a novel and fun way to raise money for good causes and we are fortunate to have the support of so many big names backing the Pants Project and its aims to help sick people in hardship.
"The pants are destined to become must-have mementos and are sure to attract a lot of interest from fans."

With seven campuses, three centers, and multiple outreach centers, Miami Dade College is supported by the state of Florida and the largest institution of higher education in the United States, serving close to 165,000 students. Miami Dade offers associate's and bachelor's degree options as well as certificate programs and adult continuing education opportunities. With a diverse cultural community, the average student age is 26 and close to 60% of attendees are enrolled part-time. With evening, morning, weekend, and even online or distance options, Miami Dade is a viable option for a wide range of students.
While technically a large school, Miami Dade maintains small class sizes with low teacher-to-student ratios to ensure quality interactions between students as well as students and professors. Each campus offers a multitude of student activities, clubs, and organizations for students to get involved in. Positive social interaction can be just as important as academic enrichment. Miami Dade College is a diverse and thriving cultural and academic forum.
When determining how much money to budget for college, there are many factors to consider, including the cost of living near your chosen school. Miami Dade College is a commuter school, meaning that students live off campus and commute to campus. This means that students may pay rent, unless living at home, and incur transportation costs as well. Rent in Miami-Dade County averages around $1,869 a month for a one-bedroom apartment according to realtor.com. Splitting the cost with a roommate or two can help lower your overall costs. Choosing to live outside of the Miami city limits may lower your rent costs.
Consider alternative forms of transportation to cut costs also. For example, carpooling will not only save you gas money but may also qualify you to use expressways without paying tolls if you register your vehicle with the South Florida Commuter Services. Not only is public transit a greener option for commuting, it can also save you money. Full-time students of Miami Dade College can receive discounts of 50% for Miami-Dade Transit and Tri-Rail passes to ride the bus, Express Bus, Metro-rail, or Tri-rail. Also do not forget to include incidentals and personal expenses when budgeting.
These fees include tuition as well as fees for student services, financial aid, transportation, capital improvement, parking and access, and technology. Certain classes or fields of study may have slightly higher or lower tuition and fees. If you are a Florida resident attending Miami Dade college full-time for four years, you should plan on paying at least $11,157.12 in tuition and fees, plus a $30 application for admission fee. This total does not include room and board, personal expenses, or books and supplies.
Miami Dade is an affordable option for higher education; however, most of the time, savings and budgeting still aren't enough to cover the costs. In fact the National Center for Education Statistics reported that in 2012 as many as 85% of full-time undergraduate students at four-year degree-granting institutions received some form of financial aid. Financial aid may come in the form of grants or scholarships, which are considered gift money that doesn't have to be paid back. You can also take out student loans, or borrow money, in order to pay for college.
Financial aid is generally disbursed directly to your school into your school account and used to pay for tuition and school fees, usually up to twice a year. After those are paid, any remaining money will be refunded to you to cover any other education-related expenses, such as room and board, transportation, a computer, books, and even child care.
Scholarships can come from a variety of sources. Many are based on merit, including artistic, athletic, or academic ability while others may be based on race, ethnicity, or gender. Non-profits and many other private organizations also offer scholarships. Some require membership and others want you to provide certain information or write an essay. Be sure to thoroughly research the vast majority of scholarship opportunities. Miami Dade College itself expects to award $7.5 million in scholarships this year alone. Scholarships will vary in award amount and type.
Miami Dade College also offers Bright Futures Medallion Scholars program, which covers full tuition costs for recipients. Contact your campus financial aid coordinator for more information on these and other scholarship opportunities directly through Miami Dade. Grants are also forms of free money for college and can come from state and federal agencies as well as schools. In order to apply for these, you must fill out your Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA.
If you are eligible for federal financial aid, you must submit your FAFSA in order to determine what type and how much funding you might qualify for. You can submit your FAFSA online by creating a FSA ID with your name, date of birth, and Social Security number. The FSA ID grants you access to your federal financial aid information and allows you to digitally sign the Master Promissory Note (MPN), which explains your responsibilities and rights as a borrower. You should keep both of these in a safe place.
Once you have created your ID, you will need some additional information to complete your FAFSA. You must also determine if you are a dependent or independent student. Dependent students are under age 24, unmarried, and have no dependents of their own. In order to fill out your FAFSA, you will need your most recent tax forms, employment information (if applicable), other relevant financial information, and school information. Dependent students will also need their parents' information. Be aware of any and all deadlines for submitting your completed FAFSA and receiving aid. Additionally, you will need to resubmit a FAFSA every year.
The FAFSA calculates your expected family contribution (EFC), and most federal financial aid is need-based. The difference between your EFC and total cost of attendance (COA) are used to determine your level of financial need. Federal financial aid can come in the form of federal grants or low-cost federal student loans. Once the type and amount of your federal financial aid package is determined, both you and Miami Dade College will receive notification. You then decide whether or not to accept or decline the funds, and you can choose to only borrow part of what you are offered if you like. Only borrow what you need at the time. Miami Dade and the state of Florida also use the FAFSA for their financial aid and grant packages as well. Ask your financial aid representative for more information.
Miami Dade College accepts three main types of federal grants: the federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), and the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant. A federal Pell Grant is generally the most common federal student grant and based on a demonstration of financial need. Undergraduate students who don't already have a degree, and in some cases, post-bachelor teacher certification program students, may qualify for up to $6,095 for the 2018-2019 academic year in the form of a federal Pell Grant. The amount you actually receive may be less, dependent on your cost of attendance, level of financial need, status as a part or full-time student, and your intention to finish a full academic year. The U.S. Department of Education disburses the full amount you qualify for each year directly to your school into your account on your behalf. Other financial aid you receive will not affect the amount of your Pell Grant award.
Unlike the Pell Grant, FSEOG funding is limited, as only a set amount is disbursed to each participating school each year. This means that Miami Dade College receives a certain amount from the federal government annually to disburse among financially eligible students. Students may receive between $100 and $4,000 a year in FSEOG awards. Because funding is limited, even if you qualify for FSEOG funding, you may not receive the full amount or any at all. Be sure to apply early to ensure the best chance at a FSEOG award.
The TEACH Grant is for potential teachers enrolled in eligible programs who sign an "Agreement to Serve" for at least four years as a full-time student in a low-income and high-need field within eight years of graduating. If you meet the criteria you can receive up to $4,000 in TEACH Grant funding.
Another option for funding at Miami Dade College is the Federal Work-Study Program. If you qualify for this program, by demonstrating financial need, you can work part-time either on campus or off campus for a public or non-profit organization in a capacity that serves the community. Miami Dade College participates in a community service program wherein Federal Work-Study participants tutor elementary students in the Miami-Dade Public School System, for example. The Work-Study Program strives to place you in a job that relates to your course of study and is flexible with your class schedule. Since you are working for your funding, you do not have to pay these funds back.
The Florida Work Experience Program (FWEP) is another work-study program for Florida residents meeting financial aid criteria. This program offers part-time positions both on and off campus in an effort to enhance students' career goals. Institutional Work-Study offers part-time clerical and administrative positions on campus within different departments in a first-come, first-served capacity as well.
After you have exhausted all the forms of free money and work-study funding that might be available, you may look into borrowing money to pay for college in the form of student loans. The most favorable option for students is federal financial aid. These loan options offer low and fixed-rate interest and flexible repayment plans.The U.S. Department of Education is the lender for federal student loans disbursed through the William D. Ford Direct Loan Program. Direct Loans can be to undergraduate or graduate students as well as the parents of dependent undergraduate students. Subsidized Direct Loans are available to undergraduate students with financial need, and the federal government pays the interest. With an unsubsidized Direct Loan you don't need to demonstrate financial need, although you are responsible for paying the interest. Maximum loan amounts depend on several factors, including your year in school, financial need, cost of attendance, and dependent status. Subsidized and unsubsidized loans may be combined for maximum amounts between $5,500 and $12,500 for undergraduate students. For current interest rates, check the Federal Student Aid website. Parents of dependent students can take out a Direct PLUS Loan, which will require a credit check. These loans can cover up to the entire cost of attendance minus any other financial aid you are receiving. Federal Perkins Loans are a little different in that Miami Dade College is your lender while the federal government covers your interest while you are in school and during a nine-month grace period after leaving school. Funding is very limited and offered only to those with exceptional financial need on a first-come, first-served basis so apply early. Both part-time and full-time students may be eligible. Federal student loans offer flexible repayment options, and payments are deferred until after you leave school and finish your grace period (typically six months). Federal student loans can often be deferred, consolidated, cancelled, or even forgiven in some cases. Keep in contact with your loan servicer and financial aid office for the most current information.Students may also choose to borrow funds from private financial institutions and organizations. These are called private student loans or alternative loans, and they are generally higher cost and less flexible than federal student loans. These are typically considered a last resort. Banks and other financial institutions are the lenders and interest rates start higher and even go up over the life of the loan.


Hi everyone! Today, I'm sharing my first recipe of 2017, and I couldn't be more excited.
If you've been following me for a while, you should know by now that I love exploring all sorts of culinary eats, treats, and sweets. I've dabbled in Indian cuisine, tried vegan recipes, and, due to my heritage, have posted a lot of Iranian/Persian foods.
But today I decided to play around with Afghan cuisine. Mind you, I'm no Afghan food aficionado. I do order from a healthy Afghan restaurant near my house from time to time, and honestly I think I was spending a little too much money at that joint, because that's what inspired me to create some of my favorite afghan dishes at home.
One of the most well known dishes in Afghan cuisine is their roasted pumpkin. This is a dish I order almost always every time I'm eating Afghan food. Something about the combination of pumpkin, cinnamon, and yogurt just gets me every single time.
She then proceeded to explain her recipe, which I'm sharing with you today. I'm also including a second recipe of roasted veggies as pictured in today's meal. The roasted veggies aren't traditionally eaten with the Afghan roasted pumpkin, but honestly they taste really great together. The meatballs you see in the background are my Iranian kofta, which are delicious.
Heat the olive oil in a large dutch oven. Add the onion and spices, sauteing on medium heat until onion has cooked down and fragrant. Add water as needed if onions begin to burn.
Add butternut squash and sauté. Keep adding water as needed if the squash starts sticking to the pan. Then turn the heat to medium-low/low and let the squash simmer.
Add coconut sugar. Continue to stir and the let the squash simmer until it is soft and tender.
Toss all the veggies with the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Place an even layer on a cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes, tossly occassionally to ensure all of the veggies cook evenly. Veggies should be soft and tender after baking.


• Finally conquer that mountain of paperwork that threatens to tumble down around us at any moment.

At one time, Puglia was full of trees. Of course, it still is full of trees – Olive trees that is – but, years ago, there would have been forests of Pine, Yew, Beech and others.
Today, Puglia is a land of plains and huge cultivated areas of vineyards, olive trees and citrus groves. The forests of old have largely disappeared, cut down many centuries ago, probably to make way for agriculture and plains for grazing livestock. With the disappearance of the forests, some speculate that there would have been a shortage of wood to build with. Olive Trees take many years to mature, and when they do they are a valuable source of income, and not to be cut down for building houses! A happy coincidence however, namely the abundance of limestone, quite possibly saved the day and paved the way for much of the wonderful architecture we see today.
Look closely at some Trulli and you might notice that they are built not from even blocks of stone, but from a combination of stones of many different shapes and sizes. A Geometra (a combination of surveyor and architect) will tell you that the really old Trulli are built from rocks that were literally collected from the ground. Limestone rocks, which could be found in abundance within the surrounding area, would be piled into rough circular shapes and topped with a 'key' stone upon which all of the roof depended in order to stay up. It's only the more recent Trulli, built from the latter part of the 18th Century, that show their relative youth through the use of closely fitting blocks of limestone worked from the local quarries.
This is one of the favourite theories of many a local resident and the story goes that, during the 17th Century, the nobility of the time imposed heavy taxes on any permanent structure. Thus, the peasant families, not able to bear the burden of this tax, built their dwellings so that they could be literally demolished at a moments notice! Because every other stone of the conical roof depended on the 'key' stone to prevent the roof from caving in, the peasant owner was able to literally demolish their house simply by pulling this stone out! Some point to curious iron rings embedded in the tops of some Trulli as proof of how they were built with this purpose in mind. Although an amusing notion – who isn't looking for ways to pay less tax – this may also have been a convenient way to store grain or other produce much as modern silos do today, by filling them from the top.
Puglia was colonised by the Greeks from as early as the 8th Century B.C., and there are many examples of domed dwellings across the Mediterranean, built using the same 'dry' masonry techniques as the Trulli. The Nuraghi of Sardinia and the Tholoi, or tombs, of Mycenae have both been linked to the origins of the Trullo and it is possible that the word Tholoi, the Greek name for the domed tombs of Mycenae, could conceivably have evolved into the modern word Trulli.
Whatever their origins, the Trullo is alive and well in modern Puglia and they remain highly sought after. Local residents, young and old alike, and well to do foreigners looking for unique holiday homes are gradually buying up the shrinking pool of derelict Trulli and a thriving industry now revolves around the restoration and building of these wonderful structures. It is still possible to see a Maestro, or Master Builder, employing traditional techniques dating back hundreds of years, in the restoration of ancient Trulli. Fortunately for those of us who have come to regard them as small personal castles, it is likely that the Trullo will continue to be built in Puglia for many years to come.

The PGA Tour moves to squash rumours that American golfer Dustin Johnson was suspended for failing a drugs test.
The PGA Tour has refuted a report that Dustin Johnson has been suspended.
Johnson said in a vague statement issued by his management company that he would take a leave of absence effective immediately to seek professional help for 'personal challenges'.
The announcement brought an abrupt end to his PGA Tour season, knocking him out of the PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup.
A golf website reported that the tour suspended Johnson for six months, citing an unidentified source as saying Johnson failed a drug test for the third time.
"With regards to media reports that Dustin Johnson has been suspended by the PGA Tour, this is to clarify that Mr. Johnson has taken a voluntary leave of absence and is not under a suspension from the PGA Tour,'' the tour's statement said.
It is rare for the tour to comment on any matters related to potential discipline.
The PGA Tour began drug testing in July 2008.
One year later, PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem was asked to confirm that there had been no positive tests in the first year from either recreational or performance-enhancing drugs.
"I said we have had no positive tests with respect to performance enhancing. We may have had some test results that trouble us in other areas that we treat in a different bucket,'' Finchem said in July 2009.
Johnson is not the first player to take a leave of absence.
John Daly announced in September 1994 that he was taking the rest of the year off because of 'mental and physical' problems.
In announcing Daly's decision, Finchem repeatedly used the word 'voluntary', but said the decision was reached after numerous meetings between Daly and the tour.

Who were Mr. and Mrs. Berger?
Mr. and Mrs. Berger started their lives together humbly in Santa Barbara, California. From a simple, middle-class beginning, together they built a real estate and banking empire. It was their desire, however, to share their wealth with the less fortunate, particularly those people looking for a "hand up." Their philanthropy has subsequently helped millions of people throughout the world.
When was the Berger Foundation established?
To what types of charitable organizations does the H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation typically contribute?
The H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation continues to look for nonprofit (registered 501c3) organizations that honor the core values established by Mr. and Mrs. Berger. The founders were particularly interested in programs that benefited youth education, health and social services. In keeping with that tradition, the Berger Foundation often awards financial and real estate support for scholarships, college buildings and hospitals, medical research and other social service programs. Organizations and programs that "help people help themselves" are of particular interest to the Board of the H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation. Believing that partnerships strengthen and enhance communities, the Foundation encourages collaboration among agencies whenever possible.
Can other people, businesses or organizations contribute to the Foundation?
The H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation office is located in Palm Desert, California.
Does the H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation accept unsolicited grant requests?
No. At this time, the only grant requests that the H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation will consider are those requested by Foundation Trustees or staff.
Once a grant is made, what are the reporting requirements for the recipient agency?
When a grant is awarded, the Foundation specifies the requirements in the award agreement as a condition of receiving funds. Every grant and agency is unique and so are the reporting requirements. The primary purpose of the reports requested is to substantiate how agencies are serving clients and the benefits of programs, so that Foundation directors and staff can assess if the objectives of the grant request are being met. Typically, reports are based on 6 month increments following the funding of the grant, with a final report due upon completion of the program goals.

Federal Judge Rules Wisconsin Medicaid Must Cover Gender Reassignment Surgeries
Lori Arnold | ChristianHeadlines.com Contributor | Tuesday, August 20, 2019
A federal judge has overturned a 1997 Wisconsin provision banning Medicaid payments for gender reassignment surgery and hormone treatments. U.S. District Judge William Conley handed down the ruling Aug. 16, after issuing an injunction against the state's Department of Health Services last year.
The 22-year-old Medicaid amendment, challenged by four plaintiffs, excluded coverage for "drugs, including hormone therapy, associated with transsexual surgery," deeming them "medically unnecessary," according to Courthouse News Service. Wisconsin's Medicaid program is jointly funded by state and federal money.
The plaintiffs—three transgender women and a transgender man—filed suit against the state arguing that gender-confirming treatment was necessary due to "gender dysphoria," a condition in which a patient does not identify with their biological sex at birth. They alleged that the exclusion violated the Affordable Care Act, the Medicaid Act and both the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th Amendment.
"There is now a consensus within the medical profession that gender dysphoria is a serious medical condition, which if left untreated or inadequately treated can cause adverse symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, serious mental distress, self-harm and suicidal ideation," Conley wrote in his ruling.
The judge determined the state's Medicaid exemption discriminated on the basis of sex under the federal Affordable Care Act. Wisconsin is one of nine states that have explicit Medicaid exclusions for gender-confirming treatments, according to Conley's ruling.
Friday's 28-page decision made permanent a preliminary injunction Conley issued in July 2018 ordering the state to cover the plaintiff's sex-reassignment surgeries. In his final decision, Conley wrote, "the court found defendants' argument less than persuasive before and that has not changed."
"Even at the time the challenged exclusion became effective in 1997, DHS's predecessor did not conclude that the excluded services were experimental, ineffective or unsafe," Conley said. "Moreover, at the time of implementation, DHS's predecessor conducted no systematic study or review of the available medical literature to conclude that the excluded services were not medically necessary, nor can defendants point to any now."
He cited the American Medical Association, Endocrine Society, American Psychiatric Association and other medical professionals as having "already endorsed gender-confirming surgeries as medically accepted, safe, and effective treatments for gender dysphoria."
Joseph Wardenski, the plaintiffs' lead attorney, lauded Conley's decision.
"We are pleased with the court's decision that Wisconsin Medicaid's categorical coverage exclusion on gender-confirming health care violates federal law and the rights of transgender Wisconsin Medicaid beneficiaries," he said. "We plan to submit a plan for remedial relief to the court by the end of the month to ensure that all transgender Medicaid beneficiaries in Wisconsin can access the health care they need."
The parties will be back in court Aug. 27 to determine how the case will proceed.

The Inn at Holiday Valley offers some of New York's only ski-in/ski-out lodging, but skiing is just one of the huge variety of activities available at this enormous family resort in Ellicottville, an hour south of Buffalo. Also on the list of activities: snowshoeing, tubing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, a terrain park and even a "mountain coaster" — a gravity-powered cart that sends you sailing down the mountain on a rail. When Mother Nature doesn't comply, the resort uses state-of-the-art equipment to make fresh powder for the slopes.
The Inn itself is simple and cozy, with traditionally-appointed hotel-style rooms, as well as larger suites with private fireplaces and Jacuzzis. Defrost après-ski in the heated indoor pool and hot tub, and enjoy complimentary shuttle service to all of the resort's base lodges.
Cabin fever? No way! Not at this resort, situated about ten miles south of Lake George in the Adirondacks. It's styled as a cozy mountain lodge, complete with a moose theme, crackling fireplace, and pine bunk beds in the suites for the kids. Multiple dining options, including one of the country's largest Johnny Rockets, will keep the whole family fed. A large arcade room for the kids and a luxurious spa for the parents round out the lodge experience.
But let's be real: the main attraction here is White Water Bay, the lodge's massive indoor waterpark. White Water Bay includes water slides, a lazy river, a raft tube slide, a surfing simulator, a hot water spa for 18 and up, as well as a splash pool for toddlers and non-swimmers.
Load the skis into a rental car and take the two-hour drive from New York City into the Catskills for a great, accessible ski weekend in the Windham area. The Thompson House offers simple, clean, classic lodgings in a stellar location that puts you just one mile from the large Windham Mountain Resort and about ten miles from the Hunter Mountain Resort. Plattekill Mountain is also within striking distance, at about thirty miles away. Ski package deals, which include lift passes and discounts on equipment rentals, are available.
A fireplace in the lobby offers a nice place to warm up after a day of skiing (or a quick glide around the Thompson House's ice skating rink), though suites with Jacuzzis are also available for a good defrosting option. Continental breakfast, including homemade granola, is available each day, and for other meals, you'll find a variety of eateries nearby.
Take a trip back in time in this massive castle-like resort which overlooks Lake Mohonk just 90 miles north of Manhattan. Choose from a variety of room styles, from basic hotel rooms to enormous sprawling suites, all of which are appointed with antique (and antique style) furniture and top-quality linens and amenities. Some rooms face the beautiful lake, others look out over the rolling Catskills, but the view is spectacular in every direction. In fact, it's such a stunning vista that Currier and Ives used it for one of their famous lithographs. Five-star dining is available on-site, and wintertime guests can also enjoy ice skating, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and snow tubing.
Wellness has always been a focus at Mohonk Mountain House, even when it was first built in the 1800s, so it's no surprise that it is now home to one of the finest spas in the world, regularly listed among the best of the best by travel authorities and spa aficionados. Spa treatments on offer include not only a variety of massages and other body treatments, but also mindfulness training with certified therapists, guided nature appreciation walks with naturalists, yoga and meditation classes, energy therapy work, and standard salon treatments.
Built a century ago as William A. Rockefeller's hunting lodge in the Great Camp era of the Gilded Age, The Point is Upstate New York's only five-star resort. Accommodations are simultaneously rustic and luxurious: think fieldstone fireplaces, mounted antlers, carved pine beds, leather wing chairs, and even oil paintings from original Hudson River School masters and hand-drawn antique maps.
The resort is not large — just eleven uniquely-appointed guestrooms and suites — but amenities are plentiful. Ice skating, cross-country skiing, ice fishing and even curling are available to guests. Evening meals are an occasion, served to guests in jacket and tie (and black tie two nights a week) at shared tables, evoking the hunting parties of a bygone era. It's a full experience, not just a hotel, but one that you'll have a hard time finding anywhere else.
Lake Placid, home to two separate Winter Olympics, is a favorite East Coast destination for skiers. Whiteface Mountain, located about a half-hour outside of town, offers the longest vertical drop of any East Coast mountain, and Mt. Pisgah offers nice family skiing and tubing options in nearby Saranac Lake. Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating and even bobsledding are also on offer in and near this charming resort town.
And if you're headed to Lake Placid, why not stay at the spot with the very best view? Overlooking the stunning and peaceful lake that gave the town its name, with a long view out over the mountains (including Whiteface), Lake Placid Lodge offers vistas that a person could spend hours looking over, regardless of the season. Each of the 13 guestrooms and 17 cabins has its own gorgeous view (as well as luxury in-room amenities), and if you choose to dine at the on-site gourmet Artisans restaurant, you can enjoy the full panorama while you eat.
There are few things more romantic than a cozy mountain cabin, a crackling fireplace, and snow falling outside, and a wintertime trip to the Chalet of Canandaigua, near Rochester, epitomizes the scene. This B&B offers three private suites, each with a huge soaking tub, an in-room fireplace, a walk-in shower (big enough for two!) all beautifully appointed in rustic mountain style.
A large gourmet hot breakfast is included, as is an evening dessert, and the convenient location of the Chalet allows for easy access to attractions in the Finger Lakes, including wineries, museums and outdoor sports.
The Hope Lake Lodge and its sister property, Greek Peak, have been one of Central New York's favorite ski destinations for years. Beyond downhill skiing, the outdoor sports complex offers tubing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, adaptive skiing, as well as a terrain park. Hope Lake Lodge's indoor offerings aren't too shabby either: a spa, an arcade, fine and casual dining, and best of all, an indoor water park.
Rooms are simply appointed, but comfortable, with rustic touches like pine headboards. A few different varieties are available to accommodate families or groups, including some rooms with a Murphy bed, which kids adore. All this comes at prices that are in line with Central New York, which is to say, not a bad deal at all, especially for those used to big-city prices.
Skiing and snowboarding aren't everyone's idea of a perfect winter vacation: some just want a picturesque snow-covered Capra-esque village with good shopping and dining, and gorgeous historic Cooperstown certainly fits that bill. The Baseball Hall of Fame, Brewery Ommegang, the James Fenimore Cooper-founded Farmers' Museum, and oodles of gorgeous small galleries and great boutiques and restaurants.
The Inn at Cooperstown is the perfect in-town location to stay while you explore here. Like much of the town, the building itself is on the National Registry of Historic Places, and you'll find that each individually-decorated guest room follows that historic aesthetic, but with modern amenities like flat-screen televisions and private ensuite bathrooms with tiled showers. A hot breakfast buffet is served each morning to get you filled up for a day of small-town exploration.

Last night I presented a skillswap, "Introduction to Rails". This was meant to be a fairly quick overview for people who've done some web development before, but are completely new to Rails (and Ruby). The event was presented in two parts. First, a set of slides about what Rails is, why it works and a brief overview of Ruby. Then, a practical session.
For the practical, I installed Locomotive and we ran through a quick session of getting started with a rails application, building a model and putting up some scaffolding on top of that. There were only five macs, so people had to work together, which probably helped. I have to issue a huge thanks to lighthouse for the opportunity to use the fantastic venue.
I did actually have further slides and handouts, which progressed the practical, but it was already getting on for 20:30, so it seemed wiser to halt whilst things were still going well.
Like all live things, not all went to plan. The main annoyance was the fact that Locomotive-generated projects (well, Rails really) default to using MySQL. A quick switch to SQLite made things work a lot better. Servers can be a pain when you're trying to get things running.
The slides and handout are available for download.

How Much Do You Love Your Prospective Clients? | Get Clients Now!
If you don't love your prospects, they will know it. We've all been sold to by someone who didn't care about us. The salesperson who pressures us to buy a car with options we don't need. Or the telemarketer who launches into a lengthy script without asking if she's interrupting our dinner. Or the guru who entices us to purchase a high-priced solution without bothering to find out whether it has any relevance to our situation. We can feel their disregard, and it turns us off.
On the flip side, you've probably had the pleasant experience of being sold to by someone who took the time to find out exactly what you needed, explored with you respectfully the match between what he had to offer and your desires, and allowed you to come to your own decision about the purchase. An experience like that not only makes you feel good about spending money, it makes you want to buy more from that person as soon as you can.
You know when people who are trying to sell to you care about you and when they don't. You can sense it in what they say (and don't say), the type of questions they ask (or don't ask), how they listen to you (or don't listen). You always know. And so do the people you are trying to sell to.
So how much do you love your prospects? Do you look forward to spending time with them, or dread going to places where they gather? Do you enjoy talking with them on the phone, or find reasons to avoid calling? Do you take pleasure in learning more about their problems and goals, or resent the time it takes? Do you try to sell them only what they need, or hope to sell them anything you can? Whichever it is, you can bet that your prospects know it.
I'm not suggesting that you truly dislike your prospective clients. It may be that talking to them just makes you nervous. Or that selling brings up the fear of rejection. Or that you're so focused on making a sale, you're not really seeing the person you're selling to. Whenever we're anxious, or afraid, or intent on our own goals, we tend to become self-absorbed or defensive. As a result, we may hold ourselves aloof, or talk too much, or stop listening, or disregard what others want.
But those are the very same behaviors that other people interpret as "not caring." You're uncomfortable or hyper-focused, so you withdraw from others, ignore them, or override them. They feel your disregard, so they react by pulling away from you. You feel them pulling away, so you either give up — and lose the sale because you're avoiding them — or try even harder — and lose the sale because you've alienated them. It's a self-defeating cycle.
There is a way to break this pattern, but it's not a new set of skills to learn or techniques to try. It's simple but not easy; subtle but incredibly powerful.
Picture in your mind the ideal person to become your client — the sort of person you went into business to help. Imagine the problems they are having and the issues they are struggling with. Think about the goals they are working toward and the dreams that inspire them. Visualize them getting what they want and need, and what that would mean to them.
Now, what feelings do these thoughts evoke toward that client? Do you feel warm, friendly, connected? Thinking about their problems, do you feel sympathetic, supportive, encouraging? Imagining their goals, are you approving, enthusiastic, excited for them?
This authentic state of mind — a caring, supportive, loving attitude toward your prospective clients — will help you close more sales than any skills or techniques you could learn. And as an added bonus, it can help you become more comfortable with selling than you ever thought possible.
Whenever you find yourself struggling to make a sale, or to reach out to a prospect, stop what you're doing. Take a few moments to consider all the reasons you care about that person. Even if you don't know them, you know others like them. Ground yourself in an attitude of friendship, support, and respect. Then start again.
If you begin to really love your prospective clients, you may just find that they will love you back.
Thank you, readers, for your comments on this post!
"I agree. I easily phone my prospects because I care about them. I offer them my services proactively because I believe I can help them.
Some may call it 'cold calling' but not me. It's 'warm calling' — I call because I care.

Q: Can I use the SERIAL data type for this? I am creating a database where one field needs to auto-increment from 1. The field would be for serial numbers. Should I use the "Serial' data type i.e I am using bigint(20) unsigned?

A: Well, it depends, but probably not. Most businesses want some accounting of the serial numbers they've used. That usually means they want an auditable sequence that has no gaps. The automatic sequences generated by database management systems aren't guaranteed to have no gaps.
The canonical way to handle this is to create a table of serial numbers (or, depending on the application, a table of just the sequential part of a more complex serial number). The application "takes" the next available serial number from that table, and updates that table with some relevant, auditable data. Something like username and timestamp are common, but it really depends on the application.
You need to be careful with production lines that eat thousands of serial numbers per second. That much activity can make contention for the serial number table a problem.

Everyone gravitates to Facebook because it's warm and fuzzy. Your friends are on it; family members use it, and your book club or writing group might even have an active Facebook group. People share heartwarming stories, funny anecdotes, and pictures they've taken.
Like the books of Nicholas Sparks, Facebook is a breezy read.
LinkedIn is the most valued social media network among professionals. This network is a platform that requires precision, thought, and detail. Some people inaccurately refer to it as an online resume service; LinkedIn is far more than that. Here's you can join in professional discussions, share your knowledge, and learn from other members' expertise. It's also a great venue for finding readers, workshop and conference attendees, and editing clients.
In the U.S., there are 100 million LinkedIn users.
The geographical range of LinkedIn is 200 countries and territories.
LinkedIn is available in 20 different languages.
40% of LinkedIn users check in every day.
Every week, 8000 new groups are created.
41% of LinkedIn users access the network via a mobile device and there were 15 million daily LinkedIn mobile profile views.
Although you have 700 characters you could use in status update, shorter updates are better.
Writers new to LinkedIn often don't know where to start. Here are some of my favorite LinkedIn best practices that should help you to get started.
If you use Twitter, include your Twitter handle in your contact information.
Adjust your settings so that you receive emails whenever someone requests a connection or sends you an Inmail, LinkedIn's term for internal email.
To expand your network, search for first-degree connections (people you know or have met in one of your LinkedIn groups. Then you can take it a step further and ask your connections to introduce you to their first-degree connections.
Twice a day (between 7 and 7:30 am and again between 5 and 5:30 pm) post an update that includes a link to some great content that others will want to read.
Stick to the 700 character limit on your status updates. Remember that spaces count too.
Think about keywords when you write your professional headline. You are limited to 120 characters to make every word count.
You are limited to 200 words in your professional summary. Again, use keywords strategically here. Use this space to explain to people why they need your books, training, editing services, or assistance. A succinct synopsis that explains who you are, what you do, and the benefits LinkedIn users would gain by reading your books or attending your workshops receives great visibility here. For example, if you write for the Young Adult demographic, explain the benefits to high schools for including your book in their English classes. If, in addition to writing, you teach memoir workshops, include the benefits of attending your sessions.
Recommendations are nice to receive and display on LinkedIn. Ask colleagues or clients you've worked with to write a recommendation and then write one for them, too.
Join a few LinkedIn groups. Some people join 40 or more, but I recommend only joining a few in the beginning. Become active in those groups on a daily or weekly basis and then if you think you can handle more groups, add them one at a time.
Add skills to your profile and periodically check them to see whether they still fit. You can rearrange your list of skills, add new ones, and delete those that no longer apply to you.
Take advantage of the new option to add your blog posts to LinkedIn. Simply click the shaded pencil in your update box and you will automatically navigate to LinkedIn's blogging platform.
Notice the shaded pencil on the right of the status box.
Links to your blog posts published on LinkedIn will appear above your Summary.
Frances, I'm interested in the linking of blog posts you mention. However, when I'm in LinkedIn and looking at my "share an update" box, there is no shaded pencil just below the clip on the right side. Is this something new they are just rolling out, or do you have any idea why it wouldn't appear on all LinkedIn users' update boxes?
LinkedIn is slowly rolling out that feature. First they will send you an email notifying you that you can post your blog posts to their new platform. I'm surprised by how slowly they are rolling it out. I think they estimated that every user would be able to post their blogs by the end of May or June. So keep watching for the email.
Me again, Frances. #10 is incorrect as LinkedIn Answers no longer exists. Here's a link to LinkedIn's explanation: https://help.linkedin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/35227.
Sherrey: Thank you so much for the correction!!

Gary Player Hall of Fame induction brought memories down the lane
November 8, 2017 by Sydney MORWENG	No Comments
THE EVENING was preceded by happy birthday belated song as one of South Africa's greatest Son's Gary "Knight" Player, was inducted into the Samsung South African Hall of Fame.
With family alongside this Golfing giant, the (82) Player told guests-

local and international that sport is the only way to break racism. These words were echoed at Sun City on Monday evening.
He becomes the country's third golfer inducted alongside four-time major winner Bobby Locke and two-time women's major champion Sally Little, who had tears of joy streaming down during her speech 'I love you Gary and your wife'.
Little also pointed out the she was convinced by Gary to join Golf at a very tender age.
At the age of 29, Player won the 1965 US Open and became the only non-American to win all four majors, known as the career Grand Slam.
He became only the third golfer in history to win a career Grand Slam, following Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen. Only Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods have performed the feat since.
Player has won 165 tournaments on six continents over six decades and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974.
Player, who operates Knight International, says he draws inspiration from the likes of Mandela, Mother Teresa and former US Pres Winston Churchill, who he said cheerfully used to 'cry'.
"Coming from poor background at times felt like I could die but through hardwork, perseverance and

the will today, I managed to pull through, and today I speak to over billions of people worldwide through Golf," says Gary, whose name means drawing strength from God and resembles a Spear.
"If Mandela could be chained for 27 years' for not committing any crime and came out to preach Peace and Reconciliation, what could stand on my way to become what I wanted to be?" he asked without mincing any of his words.
Having dined with Kings and Queens and Presidents, Gary touched the raw nerve when he declared consciously that "if Chris Hani would have been alive, he would have been a President", much to the applause.
"Apartheid brainwashed us during our times and racism is still prevalent in our societies, sadly."
Later in the evening he tweed: "None of my victories, accomplishments or success would have been possible without your love & support. Almost 61 years Viv, I love you."
During the fundraising only three pieces were auctioned to the tune of millions.
Group Chief Strategy and Operations Officer at Sun International Rob Collins says, as the group they're honoured for having played a role in Gary Player's induction in South Africa.
"Gary is an accomplished ambassador for not only Golf but for sport. As an inductee this brings gravitas to the Hall of Fame, considering it does not only focus on sport but Science and Technology as well," he told this reporter, exclusively.
Asked if it's high time he should be honoured as 'Dr Player', Collins said now that you inquiring about it, we think universities we work with as a company, should consider that. The same has been conferred to a very good of his Jabu Mabuza, who is now a Doctor.
NW Premier Supra Mahumapelo –who was invited did not show up. But Bidvest Wits coach Gavin Hunt and other world Golf players'

graced this special occasion.
On the Nedbank Golf Challenge beginning from November 9 to 12 at the Sun City hosted by Gary Player Golf Course, Collins said although he's disappointed with the withdrawal of two key players due to injury, the tournament organisers are ready to bring out a spectacle for the eager fans.
"The green carpets will be rolled out for the players, he said, with a huge crack of a laugh.
