A girl bitten by one of the world's most venomous snakes swiftly reflected on advice from fictional wildlife expert Russell Coight.
by Melissa Iaria
A Victorian girl bitten by one of the world's most venomous snakes handled the situation with tips she learnt from fictional TV wildlife expert Russell Coight.
Nine-year-old Grace was in a backyard workshop north of Geelong when the one-and-a-half metre tiger snake bit her on the foot last week.
"She heard a rustle in the leaves," her mum Louise told radio 3AW on Tuesday.
"She had been watching and catching lizards most of the morning, so she went to the sound, thinking it was a lizard, but it was a really large tiger snake curled up.
"It was rearing up and hissing at her and as she jumped back, it bit her on the foot."
Grace screamed and ran inside for help.
Louise said she lay Grace on the floor, placed a snake compression bandage on her leg and kept her calm before calling triple-0.
"I asked Grace to stay calm and not move, but she told me: 'It's okay, mum, I know what to do because Russell Coight taught me. I need to stay calm, immobilise the leg and call for help."

Russell Coight is the accident-prone survival and wildlife expert of the Aussie outback in the TV program "All Aussie Adventures".
Coight is played by comedian Glenn Robbins, who was on hand on Tuesday to give Grace the thumbs up.
"I just want to say congrats on your great work and following all the rules I've set out," Coight told Grace on air during the radio interview.
"It's very, very great," Grace agreed.

Tiger snakes are among the world's most venomous and should never be approached or handled.
They are frequently found in the suburbs around Melbourne, particularly in the west, and are active in the day and also at night during warmer weather.
Snakes are protected under the Victorian Wildlife Act and it illegal to kill them.

The American Flag: A Biography – Episode 73

Historian, professor, and podcaster Greg Jackson joins Tim to discuss the story of the United States flag, its history, its meaning and what it represents, and just why and how it stirs such strong emotions throughout society. Later in the episode we have a special feature you won't want to miss.
On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress established an official flag for the United States.
The official resolution stated: "Resolved, that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."
Since that time, it has been a banner used to rally troops in battle, show patriotic support in both war and peace time, and at times it has been at the center of controversy. It's been draped over the caskets of presidents and fallen soldiers, some we know and some that are still unknown.
As the flag was raised on Iwo Jima and in the ruins of the World Trade Center, our hopes were raised with it.
In this episode, we tell the story of the American flag.
Birth – Betsy Ross
The origin of the first American flag is unknown. Some historians believe it was designed by New Jersey Congressman Francis Hopkinson and sewn by Philadelphia seamstress Betsy Ross.
The Betsy Ross story was brought to public attention in 1870 by her grandson, William Canby, in a speech he made to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Canby and other members of Betsy's family signed sworn affidavits stating that they heard the story of the making of the first flag from Betsy herself.
Despite the absence of written records to prove the story, there are several reasons why historians believe it could be so: George Ross, a member of the Flag committee, was the uncle of Betsy's late husband, John. This could be one reason why Betsy was chosen to make the first flag. Since making the flag was an act of treason, it is significant that these men would know of her allegiance to the Revolutionary cause.
Symbolism and Meaning
The flag consists of 13 horizontal stripes, seven red alternating with six white.
The stripes represent the original 13 Colonies and the stars represent the 50 states of the Union.
The colors of the flag are symbolic as well; red symbolizes hardiness and valor, white symbolizes purity and innocence, and blue represents vigilance, perseverance and justice.
It wasn't until the Third Flag Act of 1818 that the country decided to stick with 13 stripes—one for each colony—and a star for each state.
"The Star-Spangled Banner" becomes the national anthem of the United States in 1931.
The anthem's history began the morning of September 14, 1814, when an attorney and amateur poet named Francis Scott Key watched U.S. soldiers—who were under bombardment from British naval forces during the War of 1812—raise a large American flag over Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland.
A lawyer from Baltimore who practiced law in Washington, D.C., Francis Scott Key watched the bombardment of Fort McHenry from a ship anchored in Baltimore's harbor.
Key was working to negotiate the release of an American civilian, Dr. William Beanes, who had been captured in an earlier battle. As a condition of the release, the British ordered the Americans not to return to shore during the attack on Baltimore.
Francis Scott Key wrote "The Star Spangled Banner" and its initial verse on the back side of a letter while watching the large American flag waving over the fort that morning.
When he got back to Baltimore, he worked on his piece until he had completed four verses, even though most of us only know one of them today.
A local printer printed the song, originally called "Defence of Fort M'Henry," and two Baltimore newspapers printed it. After that, it spread quickly to various cities along the East Coast.
The Flag in the Civil War
By the time the Civil War in America broke out, the United States flag had 33 stars representing the 33 states in the Union at the start of the war. The Fort Sumter Flag had 33 stars.
During the war, the Union never removed the stars representing the rebellious states of the Confederacy. Two more states were added to the Union during the war, and two more stars added to the flag.
The Flag Becomes an Icon
In 1909, Robert Peary placed an American flag, sewn by his wife, at the North Pole. He also left pieces of another flag along the way. It is the only time a person has been honored for cutting the flag.
In July 1969, the American flag was planted on the Moon by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Flags were placed on the lunar surface on each of six manned landings during the Apollo program.
Raising a flag on the lunar surface was a symbolic gesture — an expression of triumph similar to the planting of a flag on Mount Everest or at the North and South Poles.
Iwo Jima
During the intense Battle for Iwo Jima in 1945, U.S. Marines from the 3rd Platoon, E Company, 2nd Battalion, 28th Regiment of the 5th Division took the crest of Mount Suribachi, the island's highest peak and most strategic position, and raise the U.S. flag.
Marine photographer Louis Lowery was with them and recorded the event. American soldiers on the island cheered the raising of the flag, and several hours later more Marines headed up to the crest with a larger flag.
Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal met them along the way and recorded the raising of the second flag along with a Marine still photographer and a motion-picture cameraman.
Rosenthal took three photographs atop Suribachi. The first, which showed five Marines and one Navy corpsman struggling to hoist the heavy flag pole, became the most reproduced photograph in history and won him a Pulitzer Prize.
U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services distributes materials at administrative naturalization ceremonies, including: U.S. Citizenship Welcome Packet (including the President's Congratulatory Letter); American flag; Citizen's Almanac); a Pocket-size Declaration of Independence and Constitution of the United States; Application for U.S. Passport; Oath of Allegiance/The Star Spangled Banner/Pledge of Allegiance Flier; a Voter's Guide to Federal Elections.
9/11 Ground Zero Flag
It is believed that the flag was hanging on the pole of a yacht in a marina just west of Manhattan the morning of the World Trade Center attacks. After the attacks, firefighters George Johnson, Billy Eisengrein and Dan McWilliams found it and then raised it above the ruins of the collapsed buildings.
A New Jersey newspaper photographer named Thomas Franklin took the shot of the firefighters as they raised the flag. It was lost for 15 years but eventually found in the state of Washington.
Texas V. Johnson (U.S. Supreme Court, 1989)
This Landmark Supreme Court Case involves the U.S. Flag and freedom of speech. In a (5-4) ruling, the Supreme Court held that states could not forbid burning the U.S. flag in protest, because doing so would violate the freedom of speech protected by the First Amendment.
In 1984, when the Republican Party convened in Dallas for their national convention there were protests. Gregory Lee Johnson was one of those protestors. When the group got to Dallas City Hall, Johnson soaked an American flag with kerosene and set it on fire.
Johnson was charged with violating a Texas law that prohibited the desecration of a "venerable object." 47 other states also had laws on the books against flag desecration.
Johnson appealed his conviction and his case eventually went to the Supreme Court. Johnson argued that the Texas flag desecration statute violated the First Amendment. Justice Antonin Scalia was in the majority on this.

BAFTA Launches 11th ANNUAL Competition To Find The Nation's BEST YOUNG GAME DESIGNERS
BAFTA YGD returns with entries now open at ygd.bafta.org
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) has opened entries for its 11th annual BAFTA Young Game Designers (YGD) competition for 10 – 18 year olds, celebrating new games talent and inspiring the UK's future game makers by giving young people the chance to design or make their own game.
For over 10 years, BAFTA YGD has highlighted the positive impact of games on young people, their parents and teachers, offering information on the careers available within the games industry, and allowing an opportunity for the next generation of game-makers to showcase their creativity.
Previous winners of the BAFTA YGD competition have gone on to be award-winning within the games industry. Dan Pearce (2010 winner) was named a BAFTA Breakthrough in 2013, with his game, Castles in the Sky, earning him a BAFTA-nomination for Debut Game in 2014. Previous winners have also showcased their creations at EGX Rezzed, London's largest games event, including 2016 winner Daniel Smith whose game was picked up by Ripstone Games and has since been released commercially. Emily Mitchell (2017 winner) is currently working with a games publisher to release her game commercially and Spruce Campbell (2017 winner) has self-published his game on the App Store.
Entries are now open at http://ygd.bafta.org/ and will close on Monday 15 March 2021. Entries are shortlisted to 40 finalists from across the UK, who will be announced in June. The winners will be announced at a special virtual BAFTA ceremony in July 2021, following the success of the first digital YGD ceremony this year.
All finalists receive a bundle of games goodies from YGD partners, a series of exclusive masterclasses and the opportunity for digital mentorship and careers advice from Into Games. Alongside a BAFTA YGD Award, winners additionally receive bespoke advice and support in developing their game ideas.
Chair of the BAFTA Games Committee, Jo Twist, said:
"The BAFTA YGD competition offers a unique opportunity for young people to explore the world of game design, get creative with their ideas and use the competition as a springboard into the industry. Games play an important role in telling stories and each year with YGD we see entries that tackle difficult issues for young people. This year, more than ever, getting creative with games design could be that really important creative outlet for young people to tell their stories and I look forward to seeing the exciting games that will come out of this year's competition."
Michael Ballantyne, BAFTA YGD Winner 2020, said:
"The BAFTA experience didn't just end at the awards ceremony, ever since my name was announced there has been an abundance of masterclasses, advice and insight into the gaming industry. For anyone pursuing a career in game development, BAFTA YGD is invaluable. Despite COVID-19 the BAFTA team has been committed to the inspiration and education of the next generation of game devs. With the feedback and direct contact from leading industry figures that BAFTA provided I can confidently say I would never be at this level on my own so soon."
Evie Sanger-Davies, BAFTA YGD Winner 2020, said:
"The things that YGD have organised this year have been so insightful into the industry and have really opened my eyes to the opportunities in games. It is amazing to think that one small idea can turn into a whole new path for your future. I think anybody can get involved and make games! You can learn so much just by entering, and really see what it takes to get into the games industry. I have decided I really want to work in games as an artist and I discovered that passion from entering YGD. Winning the award has opened up so many new doors into the games industry that I never knew existed."
There are five award categories in the competition: the YGD Game Concept Award, split into 10-14 years and 15-18 years categories, for those creating an original concept for a new game, and the YGD Game Making Award, also split into 10-14 years and 15-18 years, for those making a game using freely available software. Entrants can enter either as individuals or with a team of up to three people.
The YGD Mentor Award will return in 2021, to recognise an inspirational individual who is involved in the education of young game creators in the UK, particularly those that reach out to young people who might not have access to games design.
The competition is one of the cornerstones of BAFTA's charitable activity, providing young people and teachers unique access to the games industry and top professionals through competitions, online teaching tools, workshops and social networks. BAFTA YGD engaged close to 1,500 young people in 2020, with entries submitted across the UK (over 85% from outside of London) and over a fifth of entries coming from young people from a low socio-economic background.
YGD also engages with teachers and provides free educational resources including a YGD app which features an Idea Generator, worksheets, lesson plans and videos, as well as assessing what resources the educational sector needs in order to support career pathways in game design.
To apply or for more information about YGD go to http://ygd.bafta.org/. Advice on the application process can be found here.

v 1: provide a feast or banquet for [syn: feast, junket]
2: partake in a feast or banquet [syn: feast, junket]
From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
a feast provided for the entertainment of a company of guests
(Esther 5; 7; 1 Pet. 4:3); such as was provided for our Lord by
his friends in Bethany (Matt. 26:6; Mark 14:3; comp. John 12:2).
These meals were in the days of Christ usually called "suppers,"
after the custom of the Romans, and were partaken of toward the
close of the day. It was usual to send a second invitation
(Matt. 22:3; Luke 14:17) to those who had been already invited.
When the whole company was assembled, the master of the house
shut the door with his own hands (Luke 13:25; Matt. 25:10).
The guests were first refreshed with water and fragrant oil
(Luke 7:38; Mark 7:4). A less frequent custom was that of
supplying each guest with a robe to be worn during the feast
(Eccles. 9:8; Rev. 3:4, 5; Matt. 22:11). At private banquets the
master of the house presided; but on public occasions a
"governor of the feast" was chosen (John 2:8). The guests were
placed in order according to seniority (Gen. 43:33), or
according to the rank they held (Prov. 25:6,7; Matt. 23:6; Luke
14:7).
As spoons and knives and forks are a modern invention, and
were altogether unknown in the East, the hands alone were
necessarily used, and were dipped in the dish, which was common
to two of the guests (John 13:26). In the days of our Lord the
guests reclined at table; but the ancient Israelites sat around
low tables, cross-legged, like the modern Orientals. Guests were
specially honoured when extra portions were set before them
(Gen. 43:34), and when their cup was filled with wine till it
ran over (Ps. 23:5). The hands of the guests were usually
cleaned by being rubbed on bread, the crumbs of which fell to
the ground, and were the portion for dogs (Matt. 15:27; Luke
16:21).
At the time of the three annual festivals at Jerusalem family
banquets were common. To these the "widow, and the fatherless,
and the stranger" were welcome (Deut. 16:11). Sacrifices also
included a banquet (Ex. 34:15; Judg. 16:23). Birthday banquets
are mentioned (Gen. 40:20; Matt. 14:6). They were sometimes
protracted, and attended with revelry and excess (Gen. 21:8;
29:22; 1 Sam. 25:2,36; 2 Sam. 13:23). Portions were sometimes
sent from the table to poorer friends (Neh. 8:10; Esther 9:19,
22). (See MEALS.)

Q: Angular Form Group reinitialize In Angular 8, I have a Form group where I want to reinitialize the form with new values. But when I do fb.build the second time, the values are not displayed correctly.
The checkbox becomes non-checked even though it should be checked and the input field shows [object Object]
<form [formGroup]="myform" novalidate autocomplete="off">
    <mat-checkbox
      formControlName="dndcheckbox"
      [(ngModel)]="userdetails.DoNotDisturb"
    ></mat-checkbox>
    <mat-form-field>
      <input matInput type="text" formControlName="fwdNumber" [(ngModel)]="userdetails.ForwardNumber" />
    </mat-form-field>
</form>

userdetails: MyObject;
myform: FormGroup;
constructor(private fb: FormBuilder,) {}

ngOnInit() {
      this.myService.refreshDataSubject.subscribe((data) => {
        this.userdetails = data;
        this.initializeForm();
      });
}

initializeForm() {
    this.myform = this.fb.group({
      dndcheckbox: ['', ''],
      fwdNumber: [
        {
          value: this.userdetails.ForwardNumber,
        },
        control => validateTelephoneNumber(this.userdetails.ForwardNumber),
      ],
    });
}

What could be going wrong?

A: instead of storing in this.userdetails directly pass as a argument to this.initializeForm(data)
and reinitialize the value from data arugument

A: I think the problem is in your data. The structure of your userdetails object and the data object that comes from your service that you subscribed is not same. may be data doesn't have the same signature of userdetails. console it to check if it is ok or not.
Additional: Your are creating the form every time the data changes but here only the value is changed not the form skeleton. So, I think you can create the form only once and when the data changes just update the form with the new value that comes from your service.

As, I am not sure about your object structure, Here I assume your service returns data object like this
  { IsDndChecked: true, ForwardNumber: '123245' }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.initializeForm();

    this.myService.refreshDataSubject.subscribe((data) => {
      this.userdetails = data;
      this.updateFormValue(data);
    });
  }

  initializeForm() {
      this.myform = this.fb.group({
        dndcheckbox: [''],
        fwdNumber: ['', this.validateTelephoneNumber],
      });
  }

  validateTelephoneNumber(control: AbstractControl) {
    alert(control.value);
  }

  updateFormValue(data: any) {
    this.myform.setValue({
      dndcheckbox: data.IsDndChecked,
      fwdNumber: data.ForwardNumber
    });
  }

here Inside ngOnInit() I call the method initializeForm() to create the form. I am constructing the form once and when the data change updateFormValue() is called to update the value of the form.
Another thing, you can set a validator function this way fwdNumber: ['', this.validateTelephoneNumber] and no need to pass the value (look I am not sending the value as parameter).
When you update the value of the field (you can update the value from UI or using function like setValue() or patchValue(). for more info about this two function of angular reactive form see here) the specific control automatically passed to its custom validator function.
If you see the code snippet above, you will find I didn't send any parameter but my method implementation
validateTelephoneNumber(control: AbstractControl) {
    alert(control.value);
  }

is expecting the particular fwdNumber form control.
In this way the code is more cleaner and controllable. Hope it helps.

About Millsy
Garfield, MN and Bemidji State

Siouxperfan7
College Hockey Expansion
Millsy replied to cberkas's topic in Men's Hockey
So, I was busy with some home improvements over the weekend, but figured I should update on the Alaska situation based on accounts from USCHO.The Alaska Legislature was unable to override the Governor's veto. The 22 Republicans and the Governor stayed in Wasilla during the whole time and avoided the debate and vote. The 38 Legislators that did meet in Juneau couldn't really do much as they did not have the 45 votes needed to override the veto. The 38 contemplated the idea of going to Wasilla to force a vote, but it was felt if a vote happened anywhere other than Juneau, which the Constitution dictated, it would have ended up in court and probably would have invalidated any override. Part of the Governor's plan all along???? Hmmm.....On Monday, the University of Alaska Board of Regents met to discuss how to handle cutting $135 million out of the budget (again, 41%). Athletics was not brought up until the very end, and it sounds like it will be a target of cuts, just not sure how much (it was noted that athletics loses $14.5 million a year in the UA System, not sure if that is true). There is talk of closing campus and closing programs. Another area that was brought up was getting rid of redundancy of majors, which makes sense. If a major in education is offered at more than one campus, then that major would be shuttered at all campuses but one. How much that would save, it wasn't clear. The Board gave themselves until July 30th to come up with a plan and then will meet again.
If the Alaskas and UAH fold up shop, it would take a considerable amount of schools to add hockey before they look at expanding again. If I recall correctly, they are already over the 25% (16 out of 60) guideline that the NCAA typically uses.
Turns out they can't. The governor wanted it in Wasilla, a conservative hotbed and supporter of the governor. Leaders on both sides of the aisle said that wasn't allowed. So, 38 legislators showed up in Juneau for the vote. 22 Republicans and the governor holed up in a middle school in Wasilla avoiding the vote.
The only explanation I can think of is partisan politics......
We will see if I can get all of this from over on USCHO regarding the chance of a veto override in Alaska: There was a pissing match earlier about whether the special session should be in Juneau or Wasilla. The Democrats felt it should be in the capital, Juneau, the Republicans and Governor wanted it in Wasilla. Sounds like the Governor called it in Wasilla. Only 38 members are present in Wasilla. They need 45 votes out of 60 to override, or 75% of the total legislative body. No one has spoken in favor of the governor's veto. Even Republicans are bashing him. Doesn't look like the veto will get overridden, unless the 22 sitting in Juneau show up in the next two days in Wasilla...... Edit: I might have my towns flip flopped, trying to follow all of the twists and turns is mind boggling...... Either way, 22 members of the body stayed where they wanted the special session. By not having a quorum, any vote taken does not count.....
Millsy started following College Hockey Expansion July 1
As an outsider looking in on the Alaska situation:When Anchorage announced the move back on campus, I felt things didn't look good. The press release said financial challenges made it necessary, but then in the next paragraph they announced that they would work to upgrade the on campus rink from 750 to the WCHA standard of 2500. That to me sounds like some serious cash (and time looking at pictures of the arena) would be needed and I personally felt they probably were on death's doorstep.....Fairbanks also plays in a City Run arena, but their ice plant is crapping out and the City did not know if they will have the funds to replace it. They also announced that they could move back on campus, if needed, to a 1250 seat arena that would have been needed to be upgraded to WCHA standards. This one didn't strike me as a severe situation as did Anchorage's.It was mentioned over on USCHO that Alaska's governor announced budget plans and it included the University of Alaska system to cut $135 million. That is a HUGE cut. This is the second consecutive budget cycle that the Seawolves and Nanooks have been put on perceived life support.Huntsville is in the process of creating a huge University development area that would house an on-campus arena that hockey would play in (also be used by volleyball and basketball). The only thing standing in the way is the Alabama Board of Trustees funding, but as Huntsville has seen in the past, if it doesn't say Crimson Tide Football on it, it is almost dead on arrival. This is probably the furthest any of their plans have made it.As someone stated over on USCHO, this could be a shot across the bow of these three schools by the other teams, "Step Up or You Are Out". As for an eighth team if nothing comes from UAH/UAA/UAF, I see St. Thomas in the Cities being a huge target. Gives the new league a presence in the Twin Cities media market, albeit behind the Goofers, but St. Thomas does seem to have a very large following in the Twin Cities area. It also would give Bemidji and Mankato another local series to help even out the travel to Michigan and Ohio. The only question mark would be an arena for them as they currently play out at St. Thomas Academy, which I believe I read seats 1200. I don't see ASU being interested in a league of six D-II schools and one D-I school.
Bemidji State Online Options
Millsy replied to chicofelipe's topic in Men's Hockey
That's why in my original post, I said "listen to".
The online streaming of Bemidji State University Sports.
I believe it is $150 for the season. But then again, that gets you access to the whole league. And yes, some feeds are good (Bemidji, Bowling Green, Michigan Tech), others are blah (Lake Superior, Huntsville, Anchorage) from what I can recall from last year.
Nope, there is no single team/single game option....... The WCHA went with FloHockey this year and this pricing structure. I agree with AJS, they are leaving A LOT of money on the table.....I have decided to listen to the Beaver Radio Network online this year. Plus, we are billeting a kid with our local Junior team, so we went out and bought their streaming package so we could watch his road games.
UND Sports TV Options
Millsy replied to siouxfan512's topic in Men's Hockey
Bemidji State home games will not be on Lakeland Public Television this year. Unless you are in Bemidji and can get KBSU, the student run TV station, with your cable provider, WCHA.tv will be the only option. http://www.bemidjipioneer.com/sports/beavers/4283660-mens-hockey-lakeland-will-not-air-beaver-games-2017-18
NORTH DAKOTA vs. Bemidji State --- HWY 2 Battle
Millsy replied to AZSIOUX's topic in Men's Hockey
Gameday!!! Oh how I wish I could make these games. But, at least there will be family in the house, one being a BSU grad, one being an UND grad. I am sure I will hear updates and will at least be able to listen to Schultzie on the Beaver Radio Network. Should be a fun series, GO BEAVERS!!!
NORTH DAKOTA @ BSU - Saturday
Danny Mattson ended up in Serratore's doghouse last year and decided not to come back to BSU for his senior year. He is playing in Europe this year.
NORTH DAKOTA vs/@ Bemidji State
If you get the Minneapolis/St. Paul "locals", Lakeland Public shows up on channel 22. I don't believe Dish Network has it on their lineup (I am a DirecTV subscriber).
Over the air on Lakeland Public TV, any of Minnesota Public Television alternate channels or through WCHA.tv. I think a one day pass on WCHA.tv is $12 and gets you access to all games that day. Anchorage has a home game against Wisconsin that night that would start near the end of the BSU game.

Q: If P the Q example doesnt work. In the truth table of if P then Q,  In the case of P being False and Q being true the whole statement is true. But with examples such as following it wont make sense at all.
If you get an A then you go to the movies.
P=you get an A
Q= you can go to movies
If P is not correct and Q is correct then the statement is as follows:
If you dont get an A then you can go to the movies. This contradicts the original statement as being true and shouldnt be true. Can you please explain?

A: It is a common mistake to believe that the negation of a conditional is obtained by negating the hypothesis and maintaining the thesis. In fact, the negation of conditional is obtained by the equivalence
$$\neg(p\to q) \iff p\wedge \neg q$$
Then, in your example, the negation of "If you get an A then you can go to the movies"
is
"You get an A and you can't go to the movies". It's not another conditional.
The sentence "If you don't get an A then you can go to the movies" is just another sentence with same simple propositions, thus don't contradicts.


After you've discovered the Best Question to Ask below, access this cheat sheet to build a full list of questions for your interviewer! ~ Get your 16 Questions to Ask in a Job Interview Cheat Sheet here: Get It Now!
Typically, job seekers think they should wait until they've answered all of the employer's interview questions before it's their turn to ask a few of their own—usually at the tail end of the conversation.
But did you know the best question you can ask comes at the very beginning—before the interview really gets rolling?
This question gives you invaluable information to use so you can better tailor your responses.
That's it! When you ask about the position priority at the beginning of the interview, rather than the end, you're gaining valuable information and context to help form your replies in the hour you spend talking with the interviewer.
Remember that you're there for one reason: to solve a problem or to keep a function running smoothly, so it's best to surface the need or the issue and then address it with your response. Rather than taking a shot in the dark, you're answering in broad daylight. You're erasing the ambiguity and guesswork as to whether you're addressing what they need to know.
The best time to ask this question is following the introductions and light conversation/icebreakers, but before the interview starts rolling.
The key is to ask the question, wait as long as you need to until they answer, and then really listen to their response. If they don't know or have a multifaceted reply, then that's more data—albeit not the kind you wanted—that you'll have for decision-making down the line.
If you're in sales or another role focused on a specific region or territory, then add in that detail.
Once you've heard the top priority for the position, don't be tempted to address their need right then and there. Use it as a reference point at natural times during your responses throughout the conversation.
The next time you interview, be the candidate who stands out based on finding out the top priority or need and then addressing it.
Have you ever used this strategy? If not, will you give this a try in your next interview?

The Shorter Oxford Dictionary defines an American Tea as "a social function to raise funds, to which guests contribute by bringing or buying food and drink". The origins of the Shore American Tea event started on 16th November 1936, under the auspice of "bring a gift, buy a gift" organised by the Ladies Committee at Shore. The following year a garden fete was held, however still called the American Tea, with the boys from the school conducting tours of the school buildings and the view from the tower. It has been held annually ever since, changing through the war years to provide funds to the war effort, and then in subsequent years contributing to the War Memorial Hall Fund, building of the library in the 1950's and ever since supporting the education of boys at Shore with equipment, bursaries, and improved facilities.

From May 30th until the end of July, Fundación Proa presents in its exhibition halls Urban Spaces: Andreas Gursky, Candida Höfer, Axel Hütte, Thomas Ruff, Thomas Struth.
Curated by Ludovico Pratesi, researcher and specialist in photography , the show will analyze the evolution on the concept of the city in contemporary culture through the ideas and images produced by the members of the so called Düsseldorf School of Photography, composed by five of its most distinguished artists: Andreas Gursky, Candida Höfer, Axel Hütte, Thomas Ruff, and Thomas Struth.
The exhibition is composed by 45 works produced from the early eighties until recent times. It is designed to take the visitor first through the artists early works - those produced during their formative years at the Düsseldorf School - and continuing with their most recent body of work, in which an individual selection from each artist will emphasize their stylistic differences and personal characteristics.
The works selected by Fundación Proa is the result of the continuous dialogue between the artists and the curator and depicts the different interpretations and relation each artist has with the urban space. This is the first time Andreas Gursky, Candida Höfer, Axel Hütte, Thomas Ruff and Thomas Struth are joined in an exhibition under a common theme – the city – yet with various interpretations.
The exhibition will present works, such as May Day IV , by Andreas Gursky, or Candida Höfer´s Buenos Aires series. Also, less known works that exemplify the artists formation under the wing of Bernd Becher, photography teacher at the Dusseldorf School of Photography, can be appreciated. The body of work was conformed in collaboration with the artists, museums, art institutions, and private collectors.
The influence of the artists on the global artistic context is due to the overhaul their works produced on the tradition of the concept and language of photography, not only through the scale of the images in their monumental format, but also through the conceptual treatment they present. Each piece recreates a unique and defined universe that concentrates in the interrelation that exists between man and his surroundings together with all its anthropological and sociocultural implications.
During the 1980s, their teachers Bernd and Hilla Becher, conveyed the city theme as an important artistic reference. Subsequently each one of them developed a unique and personal style, following the drastic changes caused by the rapid globalization of urban cultures. Their images depicting different sites around the world, combine the local details with the usual feelings and experiences of contemporary societies. The Dusseldorf School became a reference within the art and photography scene.
Our exhibition is sponsored by Tenaris and Organización Techint, and counts with the collaboration from Italian Embassy in Argentina.
The exhibition catalogue, conformed by approximately 200 pages, including large prints of the photographs exhibited and referential images, will be a bilingual publication, becoming one of the first Spanish catalogues for the joint group.
Each artist will count with a special section that will include an unpublished interview and a small biography. The critical essays by curator Ludovico Pratesi, and acclaimed art critics such as Armin Zweite, Pablo Perulli, and Valeria González, give clear evidence not only of the contradictions and problematics of the contemporary city, but also of the history behind the Düsseldorf School of Photography, and the artists' influence on artistic expression together with their revolutionary input on the photographic medium within the global context.
The exhibition will be accompanied by special events and activities, sin coma that will take place in Fundación Proa´s auditorium.

Betsy DeVos' Education Department rejects 99% of applications for loan forgiveness program
Student loan forgiveness program for public servants has so much complex red tape almost no one qualifies
By Igor Derysh
September 5, 2019 10:30PM (UTC)
Betsy Devos (Getty/ Alex Wong)
Congress created a temporary student loan forgiveness program for public servants but the Department of Education, headed by Secretary Betsy DeVos, has rejected 99 percent of applicants, according to a government watchdog report.
Congress created an expansion program last year after complaints that the existing Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, which provides student debt relief for borrowers in certain public service jobs, failed to help enough people.
A Government Accountability Office report first flagged by NPR and published on Thursday shows that the expansion program has not worked because of the Education Department's handling of expansion. The report shows that the department rejected 99 percent of applications submitted during the program's first year.
The Education Department approved just 661 of 54,000 applications it received between May 2018 and May 2019. The department has spent just $27 million of the $700 million Congress allocated for the program.
Though Congress specifically included language in the bill requiring the education secretary to "develop and make available a simple method for borrowers to apply for loan cancellation," the GAO report found that DeVos did the opposite.
The report found that most applications were rejected because of the "potentially confusing multi-step process" involved. More than 70 percent of applicants were rejected from the Temporary Expanded Public Services Loan Forgiveness (TEPSLF) program because they did not also submit a PSLF application.
"The process can be confusing for borrowers who do not understand why they must apply separately for PSLF — a program they are ineligible for — to be eligible for TEPSLF," the report said, adding that the Education Department has failed to "improve customer service to borrowers."
The report also notes that some of the key resources on the Education Department's website "do not include information" about the new program, including the Help Tool for borrowers, which only lists information about the PSLF program. The department also has not required federal loan service providers to include information about the program.
"Requiring all loan servicers to include TEPSLF information on their websites and including TEPSLF information in its online tool for borrowers would increase the likelihood that borrowers are able to obtain the loan forgiveness for which they may qualify," the report said.
Melissa Emrey-Arras, who led the GAO review of the program, said she was "disheartened" at what she found.
"I think we were discouraged," she told NPR. "I mean, the hope is that you have this temporary expanded process, and you want it to help a lot of people. And you don't want borrowers to be confused about the eligibility criteria and to face a high denial rate. And yet, that's what we found."
Education Department press secretary Angela Morabito issued a statement to NPR arguing that the department has "taken steps to help borrowers better understand the complex eligibility requirements, application process, benefits, and other information related to the PSLF and TEPSLF programs."
Despite insisting that the department was not at fault, Morabito said that the department "agrees with the GAO's recommendations about how to improve the programs; a number of our efforts are already underway."
But the report explicitly states that the department "has not created a borrower-friendly TEPSLF process."
The current system "can be confusing to borrowers," Emrey-Arras told NPR. "It doesn't make a lot of sense, from a borrower perspective, as to why you would need to apply for a program that you know you're ineligible for. Yet that's the way the process works."
Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., who chairs the House Education Committee, told the outlet he would hold public hearings about the department's handling of the program, saying it has not been "competently" run.
"The students are entitled to it," Scott said. "They have fulfilled their responsibility over a decade of public service, and they're entitled by law to have those loans discharged. ... It is the constitutional responsibility of the executive branch to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and we will focus public attention on the fact that they are not doing it."
The difficulty in obtaining loan forgiveness funds may not be an oversight. Under DeVos, the Department of Education has repeatedly taken steps to make it harder for student loan borrowers to get relief.
Last month, DeVos set up new rules that make it more difficult for federal student loan borrowers to get debt relief in cases where their colleges had literally defrauded them. Earlier this year, DeVos scrapped Obama-era rules created to protect students from abusive for-profit colleges.
DeVos' support for predatory lenders and opposition to debt relief has become a focal point in the Democratic presidential primary race. Her recent moves were highlighted in an ad by South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who — along with his husband — owes $130,000 in student loans, according to the Associated Press. Both Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren have dubbed DeVos the "worst Secretary of Education" in modern history.
"Our students deserve better," the Democratic Party said in a statement this week, "than a Secretary of Education who continues to side with predatory lenders and make it harder for students to pay back their loans."

A comparison approach to explain risks related to X-ray imaging for scoliosis, 2012 SOSORT award winner
Nicola Pace, Leonardo Ricci, Stefano Negrini
Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi Onlus
Background: X-ray imaging is frequently used as diagnostic approach for scoliosis in children and adolescents. X-ray procedures are considered as justified only when expected benefits exceed related risks. While benefits are well known to physicians, radiological risk awareness can be vague, impeding an optimal communication with patients' parents and possibly leading to discomfort and anxiety. Objective of the study is the suggestion of a risk comparison approach for better communicating the radiological risks related to X-ray investigation of scoliosis.Methods: Starting point of the analysis is the Linear Non-Threshold (LNT) assumption for radiation stochastic effect, which states that for effective doses (E, Sievert - Sv) below 100 mSv, the probability of future stochastic damage is linearly related to E: absorbing two E's in separate moments results in the addition of the risks related to each E. This allows to add E from different sources to calculate a cumulative risk of health detriment. Medline (Pubmed) was systematically searched in order to determine the average E delivered during X-ray investigation of scoliosis. Subsequently, the major natural sources of radiation were considered. The average yearly E due to natural sources was compared with E due to the imaging of the vertebral column.Results: E's due to X-ray scoliosis examinations show a large variability: under 7 years of age, 0.03-0.54 mSv; 7-12 years, 0.11-0.80 mSv; 13-18 years, 0.17-1.09 mSv. Overall, 65% of the world population is expected to be exposed to an annual E between 1 and 3 mSv. More in detail, worldwide the total annual average E due to natural sources is 2.4 mSv (range 1-10), of which half originates from Radon exposure. Other sources are cosmic rays and ingestion and inhalation of radionuclides. For example, one flight between Europe and America accounts for 0.030-0.045 mSv because of exposure to cosmic rays.Conclusions: X-rays are carcinogenic and exposures to them always need to be justified and optimized in order to minimize the risks of health effects. However, the human body is continuously struck by radiations coming from natural sources. A useful element of comparison to evaluate E due to medical exposures in scoliosis can be then provided by the amount of E coming from natural sources. This comparison approach can play a role in the relationship between physicians and patients' parents and lead to an improved awareness in patients' parents.

Game of the name

Ma and Pa Are Heading To Professional Naming Consultants To Make Sure Their Little Baby Is Branded For Success
A few days ago, poor little baby Nutella managed quite a spread in newspapers across the world when a French court admonished her parents about her name.Well, Ella, it is now, a name the judge felt was much less nuttier than her original one, which was inspired by the popular hazelnut treat.
Now, if Ella's parents had approached Chennai-based naming consultant Anantha Narayan, they might have done a lot better, name-wise.The Kilpauk-based name developer doesn't just help parents name their newborns, he helps them foolproof the names too. "It's part of the naming package," says the ad-man turned professional name developer, who cofounded Albert Dali (inspired by the scientific thinking of Albert Einstein and the artistic genius of Salvador Dali) Naming Consultants, a few years ago. From naming babies to companies to domains and dogs, Narayan has done it all for cli ents from both India and around the world.
While astrologers, numerologists, over-zealous relatives and perhaps Maneka Gandhi's forever-in-print books of Indian baby names were the only options for parents earlier, professional name developers like Na rayan are now throwing their hats in the ring.
In Mumbai, entrepreneur Vijay Khubchandani, who got hooked to naming and numerology a couple of years ago, launched the part-freepart-paid mobile app Namemyworld, which helps parents source names for newborns from a database of more than 80,000 options from 108 origins, with names being filtered and added regularly . "The names are from curated online data, but I am constantly developing names because I need to have ones that my competition does not," says Khubchandani. Clearly, only a rose by another name is going to make the cut. What's in a name, you wonder? Love, attention to detail and a well-crafted strategy for success, say the new breed of naming consultants cropping up across the country.
Whether at the time of their child's birth, or when their tiny tot totters into kindergarten, or even when their stressed out teenager takes his mark for his Class 10 board exams, several parents believe a name change can be a game changer.
Chennai-based ad man turned naming consultant Anantha Narayan says coming up with a perfect name takes a lot of research. Naming, whether it's a brand or a baby, works on more or less the same principles, for Narayan, who who co-founded Albert Dali Naming Consultants, a few years ago. "Before I give the name, I try out permutations of it, rhyming words, its potential nicknames (to make sure the child is not prone to teasing), every alphabet is covered to ensure no swear words are hidden within, it does not infringe on trademarks or copyrights, and only if it clears the checklist, do I present it to the parents," says Narayan, who charges between `10,000 and `25,000 for baby names (he has done five so far) and up to `5 lakh for company names.
"It's not just about attaching syllables of the mother's and father's names to create a uniqe name," says Narayan.
"The naming business does not work like that. I spend time with the parents, talking to them about their culture, their family etc to really understand what they want from a name," says Narayan, who adds that he has given baby names inpired by coins, mantras and unusual colours.
Another company in Chennai, Niyati Technologies, which specialises in brand strategy, recently started a naming wing called Nameow. The company has name developers who research names based on client requirements. "A name is a name. We can do it for com panies and for people," says Ramesh Nair, one of the partner-founders, and adds that the firm charges `20,000 to `40,000 for their naming services.
Astrologers and numerologists seem to be upping their game. Chennaibased astrologer PR Sundhar Raja for instance has opened his naming services to the world through his online consultation. "While parents suggest the names, we promise to pick the luckiest one within three working days of payment. Even people within the city seem to prefer doing everything online because it saves time," says Raja, who adds that ever since he launched the online service, he chooses names for a dozen babies a day at `1800 a consultation. "We get clients from all over the world and the names we are consulted on are not always Hindu names. A recent name I picked for an Indian couple wanting a more global name was Kyra," says Raja, who adds that most recently he had to work out a lucky name for a Kenyan baby .
Raja says parents sometimes bring their children in for name changes before the hall tickets for Board exams are generated. Like Sumati Ashok (name changed) for instance, who logged into Raja's site asking for him to tweak her son's name because she was sure it was brining him "ill fortune" in academics."Parents want to make sure the child's name will ensure success in terms of marks," says Raja, who refused to change the boy's name completely , but added in a part of the father's name to give the boy "better luck" in the exams.
"Changing your name when you are older, because you feel some sort of name-remorse, can have an adverse impact on a person's psyche. There is a lot of that going around," says Raja. "So, I tell parents to be cautious so as not to regret their decision later on," he says, and adds that while parents of newborns form the larger percentage of his clientele, he also gets parents looking to tweak or rethink a child's name before they start school. "But you cannot make too drastic a change because it can affect the child mentally ," he says.
Meanwhile, in Mumbai, entrepreneur Vijay Khubchandani, who launched the part free-part-paid mobile app Namemyworld, which helps parents source names for newborns with the touch of a screen, says he has logged more than 10,000 downloads for his app in the past year. "We are now in the process of launching a chat section for parents seeking a more personal name consultation because of the increased demand," says Khubchandani.

In previous interactional studies of formats for utterances doing requests, attention has been given to the initial verb (such as can/could or wonder) and possibly the subject (especially I vs you). The current study examines the main types of grammatical variation found in what we call the "x component," that is the segment after the initial verb and subject. We examine two types of requests: those with can you x and those with wonder x, and we find that variations in the x component in these requests are associated with variations in the unfolding development of the request sequences. We thus suggest that the x component is crucial to the interactional work accomplished by the requesting utterance.

'The Daily Mail' appears to have edited the image to blur out the members of Section Boyz' faces.
An Australian TV show has called out The Daily Mail for using a photo of Section Boyz in an entirely unrelated article about gang violence in Melbourne.
However, when it was originally published, the article didn't feature a picture of members of the Apex Gang. It instead used a photo of Section Boyz that the UK rap group previously shared on Twitter.
The Daily Mail appears to have edited the image to blur out members of Section Boyz' faces. NME has reached out to Section Boyz' representative for a comment.
Media Watch, a show which bills itself as "Australia's leading forum for media analysis and comment", said on Twitter that it previously warned The Daily Mail about using the Section Boyz photo incorrectly last November.
Meanwhile, Section Boyz made a surprise appearance during Drake's huge London show at The O2 last night. After Drake performed his song 'Successful', the south London crew came on stage play their track 'Lock Arff'.
Their guest appearance at the Drake gig came just under a year after Drizzy made a surprise cameo at their Village Underground show.

As I mentioned, we had a fairly busy (but still laid back) Memorial Weekend this year. I, of course, love the holiday because it's the unofficial start of my most favorite season there is. The weather apparently didn't get the memo, though, because we had very March/April-like temperatures and rain. Lots of rain. This was the first year in awhile that I don't remember spending all or part of the weekend at the pool.
After dinner, we walked across the street to Saints (a local bar & grill) for some drinks. Wanna know something cool about Saints? They give free shuttle rides home after 8pm if you live within a 10-mile radius! The place was crazy busy...perhaps that's why! We didn't end up needing the shuttle, but I'd definitely like to take advantage of that someday!
Oh, and this deserves a mention - while I was paying for my new shoes, Brantley freakin' ran away. He took off and I told him to come back. Which, of course, prompted him to start laughing and run faster. He got all the way to the men's department at Nordstrom, so I had no choice but to take off sprinting after him. I had one shoe off, wallet in my hand, and I was sprinting through Nordstom. Perhaps one of the most humiliating and embarrassing moments in my most recent years. I was almost in tears by the time I caught him (a mix of angry and scared), and his laughs quickly faded once he realized how upset I was. To him, it was all fun and games, but to me, it was the exact opposite. And that marked the end of our trip to the mall.
We woke to another dreary, rainy day on Sunday. We decided to make the most of it and go bowling! Craig and I had never been bowling together. Like ever...in our almost seven years of togetherness! So to go bowling for the first time ever with our two kids was pretty crazy! We were pleasantly surprised at how much has changed since we were kids! For instance, the bumpers are no longer rubber bumpers that either everyone or no one uses; they are bars that raise for the kids and lower for the adults. Pretty cool (and at one point, Brantley was beating both of us)! They also have ramps to help kids roll the ball down the lane so the kids don't have to granny roll it. Brantley loved bowling and caught on very quickly. About halfway through our first game, I went to help him during his turn and he said, "You stay back there!" I really wish I would have taken my real camera. We only had our phones, so needless to say, the photos are pretty sub-par. Brantley also would not stand still enough for me to take a photo!!
I had no idea they made bowling shoes so little! How cute are these things!!
Later on Sunday, we enjoyed some homemade Bloody Marys while we finished out the Royal's game on our deck. And then our neighbor came over, so I forced a Bloody on her. :) We socialized for awhile, while our boys played. Then, dinner and bedtime for the boys. Craig and I finished out the day by renting American Sniper - a perfect movie on Memorial Weekend! Great movie, but I fell asleep for about the last 30 minutes. Good thing because I'm sure I would have cried hysterically at the end.
The weather finally decided to cooperate on Monday. The sky was blue, the sun was shining, and the temperature was hot...it finally felt like summer! I took the boys to Deanna Rose while Craig worked in our yard for a few hours. We just had a sprinkler system installed; pair that with an excessive amount of rain and our yard was in dire need of a little TLC.
These pictures are hilarious. Brantley did not want to ride. He wanted to pull Baby Holden, of course. Made my job pretty easy!
Later in the afternoon, I had the urge to take the boys to a field of flags not too far from our house and attempt some photos. They're not amazing photos - the sun was bright, the boys were uninterested, and I was trying to do it alone. But it was also a good reminder of what the holiday is all about. If getting two kids to pose for a photo is my biggest challenge on Memorial Day, well, then I'd say I'm pretty lucky. I'm super grateful for all of those men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we could enjoy dinners with friends and trips to the mall and bowling outings and visits to Deanna Rose and all of those everyday things we enjoy doing.
I think it's safe to say we had a pretty fab Memorial Weekend. And now, here's to a great summer 2015!
What are these specialty breakfast burritos you speak of? Clearly the food you talk about in your posts speak to me since I just asked about pizza yesterday lol.
Also, your weekend sounds super eventful and fun! Minus the whole Brantley running away thing. I think I would be super mad and super scared too! Glad you were able to catch him.
Yep, that's Wyatt...running away in a public place. While laughing. Sounds like a fun weekend though! And I'm with Elizabeth, what are the breakfast burritos? YUM!
So sad we missed you guys! Next year!
