One of the biggest complaints I've heard from new consultants is the inability to fit in at the client site. Going from client to client, they always felt like an outsider and never felt a sense of community.
I remember early in my career, I was talking to a client and he asked me what consulting was like. I explained to him that I go to different clients and work on projects for periods of a couple of days to as long as a year. It depended on the nature of the client's need and what they needed me for. I explained how the work was different at each project and that I worked with a different group of people each time.
It hasn't happened often, but I've worked with some very unreasonable clients. Either they have exaggerated expectations of their highly paid consultants, or they know that they can get away with abuse without the threat of us going to Human Resources. I've never taken it personally and I've found that if I look closely enough, I'm not the only target for these people.
It has often been said that success occurs when preparation meets opportunity. It's always been one of my favorite sayings and I'm amazed how often it rings true.
One of the most obvious settings where this occurs is in meetings. Most business meetings are scheduled through Outlook, Lotus Notes or some type of integrated calendaring software. Along with the invitation that comes in your email, there may be documents attached. This can be as simple as an agenda, or any number of documents that are intended to be reviewed during the meeting.
Performance Evaluations – Carrot or Stick?
At some point in each year companies finish up their annual performance evaluations. It can be a bittersweet time. You get to receive some frank feedback from your boss, while being reminded of your flaws and areas of weakness.
I have three kids whose ages range from nine to sixteen. Whenever they receive a gift, whether it's from a family member, a friend of the family or one of their pals, we make sure they write a thank you note to that person. It's important that they learn the value of showing gratitude. In addition to making the gift giver feel better, I believe there is a personal benefit to telling someone how much their gift or gesture means to them. I hope my kids get as much out of saying thank you as the person they're thanking.
Looking for some job search strategies?
As one who has lost his job in each economic downturn that has occurred throughout my career and changed jobs once on my own accord, I've been through the painful process we call job search more often than I care to admit. I've been through the frustration cycle of searching the job boards, customizing my resume to the job postings, submitting it into the black hole of the internet to hear nothing in return.
I've read articles and blogs by the "experts" that provide all the tips on searching for jobs and then tell me to differentiate myself. Well if we all follow the same advice that all of the experts suggest, how do we differentiate ourselves?
Could consulting be the next step in your career?
I recently watched "The Sound of Music", one of my favorite movies. Never mind that Julie Andrews gave the performance of her life and that Rogers and Hammerstein's music was out of their mind, the story is what I find remarkable.
Julie Andrews' character, Maria, decides that she has found her calling in life as a nun. One of the highest callings one can answer and a significant commitment.
While the unemployment rate remains high nationally, most college seniors and MBA students are facing the anxiety and fear of graduating into a work world that doesn't want them. According to a recent Chicago Tribune article, "Unemployment for 20- to 24-year-olds hit a record high of more than 17 percent earlier this year." Graduating seniors wonder how they will compete in the job market against competent, out-of-work people with years of practical experience. How many months – or years – will they have to wait for all of those people to find new jobs before companies begin investing in newbies?

Online presence is very dominant and vital in every business since recently! Despite the type of business you may portray, both prospective and loyal customers will search for your products and/or services online. It is very important for you to constantly aim at ensuring your website is always prominent, as well as, user-friendly.
Below are some of the best strategies to not only have your website stand out from the competition but to also raise its ranking on search engines!
Great Layout: Your homepage / landing page should have a great layout with easy to find and relevant information.
Social Media: Incorporate your social media links so users can follow you and interact!
Call To Action: Want people to call you, email you, place an order, request a quote (or more)? Make sure to add a CLEAR call to action on each page. Give it a clear label as well like: "Shop Now!" or "Request A Quote".
Site Load Time: Aim to have your website load in 3-5 seconds or less to avoid customers from becoming impatient. This will cause them to leave your page immediately.
Easy to read font: Make sure your font is easy to read on all platforms (PC, phone, tablet).
Custom 404/Not Found Page: Having a blank 404/not found page can lead people away from your website. Customizing a page to include things like a link back to another helpful page or the homepage is ideal so users can stay and continue their search.
Contact info: Your contact information should be very accessible. Ensure that there are various ways in which to reach you as well! Always think in advance about your customers and try to give them options to contact you at their convenience – like phone, email (link or form), social media. If feasible, be sure to display your response time.
Company Logo: Your logo represents you and the services that you offer. Make sure it is easy to access/see on your website. It should be one of the first things your customers see when they visit your page! Be sure to have a clean cut and eye-catching logo and that it is created in a few different formats for proper use on websites, avatars, social media banners, etc.
About/Learn More: Your customers need to be informed about the company and its operations. A good about us page is important for building trust and increasing conversions. It should include the basics, such as who your company serves, how long it's been around, and its long-term goals and mission.
Easy Page Navigation: Make sure customers can find information and links easily! Your site's navigation should be easy, clean and simple. When people can't find the information they need – they will leave.
Links: If you have links on your website or website's blog – make sure they are easily identifiable. Make them a different color from the rest of the text.
Navigation Labels: Keep labels on your navigation tabs clear and concise.
Exemplary Content: Content is everything! Your website's content determines which keywords the pages on your website will rank for. Content that is unique and relevant to the intent of the keyword search will rank higher than "thin" content that does not satisfy searcher intent. So, make sure you choose your words wisely!
Style & Colors: Keep your website's theme even. Always keep in mind of the colours that your brand depicts.
Good URLs: Making sure your URLs are descriptive is great for visitors AND search engines.
Pop-Ups/Ads: Try not to have too many pop-ups on your website. They can become annoying and can cause your customers to want to exit your site. If you do decide on utilizing them, please do so lightly!
SEO: It is highly recommended to learn the basics of SEO prior to developing your website. Once you have done so, you are better able to plug certain tactics into your website that will help you to stand out in search engine results and get found faster!
Your website should be the focal point for providing information to customers and act as a vital tool for generating leads and enquiries and ultimately new business. It should build a loyal relationship with your customers and the services that it entails. Not sure exactly how to even get started with crafting a website? Dreamway Media is ready to make your vision a reality!

Carry 2 SIM Cards In 1 iPhone With The SIM+
There are some of us who have more than one phones to our name. One could be for work, assigned by the company we work for, and the other for our personal use, to keep track of family and friends. It's a bit of a hassle to be carrying two phones around. The margin for error increases when you are travelling.
If however you hold an iPhone, here's where you can use two lines in one iPhone. The SIM+, is developed by Sumchi & TJ from Digirit, and it lets you carry two SIM cards in the same iPhone.
It actually comes in as a protective casing for your iPhone 5 but with an extension that allows you to switch between two SIM cards in your iPhone.
The casing that covers the side and back part of the iPhone is made out of plastic while a layer of anodized finish aluminum covers the SIM cards portion, protecting it from external harm.
You can insert a nano SIM card in the first slot and a micro SIM card on the second slot. If you want to insert two nano SIM cards instead, this is possible as The SIM+ comes with a nano-to-micro adapter.
It takes around 45 to 60 seconds for your iPhone to detect and receive reception when you first insert the SIM cards.
Now, here is how it works. You can't receive incoming messages or calls from both SIM cards simultaneously. A timed interval option is built into the system to let you switch between the two cards.
The SIM+ will alternate in between SIM cards to check for messages/calls.
For now, The SIM+ is only available for iPhone 5. The creator require pledges for $30,000 for the production of The SIM+, and as of right now it has up to $2400 by 39 backers. By pledging The SIM+ for $52 now, you'll received one set of The SIM+ around May 2013, if this project gets funded through.

Students tear down 'Silent Sam' Confederate statue in North Carolina
Dirt was thrown and a cap placed on the "divisive" century-old monument in the latest protest at a Confederate monument.
By Aubrey Allegretti, news reporter
Tuesday 21 August 2018 16:52, UK
Image: The 'Silent Sam' statue was toppled by students on Monday
A group of students have toppled a controversial century-old statue of a Confederate soldier at a US university.
"Silent Sam", a monument at the University of North Carolina (UNC), was brought down amid a high-energy protest.
Around 250 demonstrators initially covered the figure with grey sheets and hung a sign around it "dedicated to those who fight white supremacy".
Image: The monument has stood for 105 years
Video footage then shows a large circle of students jostling to unseat the 105-year-old statue, which falls to the ground.
Students can be seen hugging and cheering, with one placing a cap on the sculpture dedicated to Confederate-supporting alumni of the university killed in the American civil war.
Another protester is seen throwing chunks of dirt at its head.

Chancellor Carol L Folt said in a statement that the statue had been "divisive for years" and that its presence "has been a source of frustration for many people".

But she called the action to remove it "unlawful and dangerous", adding "we are very fortunate no-one was injured".
Police are investigating and assessing the extent of the damage.
Image: One student threw dirt at the confederate figure
Social media users highlighted the statue's controversy by sharing a speech from its unveilling by UNC trustee Julian Carr.
He had said: "100 yards from where we stand, less than 90 days perhaps after my return from Appomattox, I horse-whipped a negro wench, until her skirts hung in shreds.
"Because upon the streets of this quiet village she had publicly insulted and maligned a Southern lady."
Image: The statue before it was damaged
Other social media users protested the statue being pulled down, one writing: "A mob decided what everyone else is allowed to see."
In April 2018, the statue was targeted by another protester who daubed red paint on it.
It comes amid a movement in the US to tear down statues dedicated to Confederate leaders and soldiers.
The violent scenes in Charlottesville last year came when white supremacists held a rally around the statue of Robert E Lee.
Donald Trump said in the aftermath that US history and culture was being "ripped apart" by the removal of statues.
Civil rights activist Reverend Jesse Jackson has called for all Confederate status to be removed and described them as "unfinished business in our country".
He told Sky News: "There are no Hitler statues in Germany today or neo-Nazi material flying around."

A variety of creams and lotions have proven to be useful in providing you a more youthful and radiant appearance. Right here, vitality from a light-weight supply – either a laser or a pulsed diode gentle – removes the highest layer of skin, inflicting a slight but unnoticeable skin "wounding." This kicks the pores and skin's pure collagen-production system into high gear, leading to smoother, more wrinkle-free pores and skin.
Your brow, corners of your eyes, chuckle strains that go from the nose to the mouth, the top a part of cheek, and the traces between your eyebrows (often referred to as the 11s") are always the most evident. Alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids (salicylic acid) and poly hydroxy acids are exfoliants — substances that take away the upper layer of old, lifeless skin and stimulate the expansion of smooth, evenly pigmented new skin.
Why She Loves It: Tung says this gentle serum can be used to handle the dreaded trifecta of pores and skin issues: superb lines, enlarged pores, and even mild pimples."Retinol mixed with antioxidant elements, magnesium, and zinc, can improve texture and brighten the appearance while also minimizing pores," she says.

ALTHAEA OFFICINALIS ROOT EXTRACT (Marsh mallow extract) Marsh mallow extract hydrates and supports the moisture balance within the skin. It is rich in mucilage, a humectant plant carbohydrate that is able to attract and hold water. Mucilaginous plants like marsh mallow are non-oily emollients with soothing and softening properties. Marsh mallow softens dry skin, promoting flexibility and resilience.
CARTHAMUS TINCTORIUS (Safflower) OLEOSOMES Safflower oleosomes are micron-sized spheres of emollient (moisturising) plant oils and vitamin E, surrounded by a phospholipid membrane(thin cell membrane) and protein coat. Found naturally in all oil bearing plant seeds, oleosomes serve as the natural storehouse of energy used by the seed during germination.
The safflower seed is gently deconstructed through a natural separation and purification process that respects the natural energy source harnessed inside the oilseed. Safflower oleosomes allow a unique, continuous moisture delivery system that is all natural. The result is the unveiling of the pearl within the seed allowing for delivery of the Skin Silks contents onto the skin surface over time via gradual release.

Amita Singh is an Indian political scientist, currently serving as a professor of law and governance at Jawaharlal Nehru University, in Delhi, India. She is also a member of the Indian Council of Social Science Research. She is the recipient of numerous awards, and has published widely on public administration in India. Singh has been criticized for controversial statements made regarding Dalits, Muslims, and Jammu and Kashmir.

Career
Singh completed her higher education with a Ph.D. in political science from Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar University, in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, and taught at the Vanasthali Vidyapeeth University in Rajasthan, as well as at Kamala Nehru College, Lady Shri Ram College, and PGDAV College in Delhi University. She is currently a professor at the Centre for the Study of Law and Governance, at Jawaharlal Nehru University. Singh also serves on a number of government boards and committees in relation to administration and governance. She is currently the chair of the University's Special Center for Disaster Research.

Singh gained public attention in 2016, when she described Dalit and Muslim teachers at Jawaharlal Nehru University as 'anti-national'. Following this interview, the National Commission for Scheduled Castes, the National Commission for Minorities, and the Delhi Minorities Commission sent Singh and Jawaharlal Nehru University notices asking for an explanation of her remarks, following which Jawaharlal Nehru University instituted proceedings against her as well. Singh stated to media that her comments had been taken out of context, and that she did not know that the interview would be published.

In June 2017, Singh was appointed as a member of the Indian Council of Social Science Research.

Controversies
In 2016, Singh led a group of professors who accused students and other faculty members at Jawaharlal Nehru University of engaging in illegal activities, in a document that they titled Jawaharlal Nehru University: The Den of Secessionism and Terrorism, and particularly singling out students from Kashmir and North-east India, and describing Muslim and Dalit students as "anti-national". In response to her remarks, she was required to appear before the National Commission for Scheduled Castes, for her statements that targeted Dalit students, who have faced historic and ongoing discrimination on the basis of caste.

In 2019, Singh asked for the public execution of 40 Kashmiri Indian citizens in exchange for the lives of the service personnel that had been killed in the Pulwama terror attack, and in a post on Twitter, publicly accused then Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti of negligence. Singh subsequently reiterated these remarks in an interview with Indian Express, stating that her call for the execution of Indian citizens was so that Chief Minister Mufti would "realise what is pain."

In 2019, Singh was also the subject of a university investigation following allegations of discrimination against Muslim students at Jawaharlal Nehru University. The complaint alleged that she had referred to Muslim students at the University, in particular, those from Kashmir, as terrorists. The Jawaharlal Nehru Teachers' Association condemned the remarks and requested an inquiry into her conduct, following which Singh filed a police complaint against the teachers' association. Singh has since filed a criminal complaint against the students who complained to the university about her remarks, accusing them of attempting to incite violence.

Awards
Singh is the recipient of numerous awards in relation to her work and scholarship.

Israel, which unfortunately has had a great deal of experience with terrorist violence, has much to offer Europe in its own confrontation with Islamist terror. Once Europe has internalized the reality that it is fighting a war, Israel can advise it regarding strategies like effective intelligence collection, disruption of enemy money supply, and interference with enemy access to the internet.
Egypt and the Threat of Islamic Terror
Col. (res.) Dr. Shaul Shay | January 1, 2014
Egypt's new rulers are faced with a terror problem emanating from the Sinai, led by radical jihad groups. The US and international community must support the Egyptian regime to prevent Egypt from turning into the next Syria.
Yemen Under Attack
Col. (res.) Dr. Shaul Shay | December 12, 2013
Yemen is on the verge of becoming a failed state, as the interim government struggles to fight terrorist groups, such as al-Qaeda, that have made Yemen a base of operations.
Sunni Sectarianism and the Re-emergence of Jihadism in Indonesia
Dr. Micha'el Tanchum | October 16, 2012
Recent events in Indonesia raise concern that the world's largest Muslim-majority nation may be taking a turn toward hardline Islamism. The future of Indonesia's tolerant Islam is being reassessed.
The Tide Could Turn Against Radical Islam
Dr. Max Singer | October 10, 2010
The driving forces behind the growth of Islamic radicalism – the Islamic revolution in Iran and the immense Saudi funding for spreading Wahhabism – may not endure. By the end of this decade, the current strength of Islamism could be shattered.
Pirates: Not Only in the Caribbean
Yoaz Hendel | April 14, 2010
Maritime piracy has been developing in the Gulf of Aden and the Somali littoral, a major transport route between Asia and Europe, and is part of a global piracy problem.
The Lone Terrorist
Yoaz Hendel | July 13, 2009
The lone terrorist attacker is difficult to defend against. Israel must enact effective "price tag" deterrence legislation against would-be terrorists.
The Threat of Al-Qaeda and Its Allies in Lebanon
Col. (res.) Dr. Shaul Shay | September 19, 2007
Clashes between the Lebanese army and the al Qaeda-affiliated Fatah al Islam organization in north Lebanon, and similar attacks against UNIFIL forces in south Lebanon, reflect the challenges of radical jihadi Sunni Islam on the stability of the country and the region. The Lebanese government's ability to face these challenges appears limited, with the degree of its success largely dependent on international support and the consent of local power brokers such as Hizballah and the Palestinians.
Defining a New International System in a World Threatened by Jihad: The Danger of a Transatlantic Divide
Dr. Thomas O. Hecht | May 16, 2006
The great transatlantic debate over Iraq was rooted in deep disagreement over the nature of world order, in different visions of the world as perceived by Europe and America. Europe is reluctant to face the threat posed to the survival of Western civilization by jihadism or rogue states with nuclear ambitions, and has come to doubt the legitimacy of the use of US power and American global leadership.

F-16 aircraft parked on a tarmac in Azerbaijan most likely belong to Turkey [VIDEO]
The fighter jets were photographed at Ganja International Airport on Oct. 3 not far from what appears to be a CN-235 transport aircraft, according to the NYT, which analyzed Planet Labs satellite imagery.
There are at least two F-16s at Ganja International Airport in Azerbaijan, our analysis of an Oct. 3 satellite image shows. The fighter jets are likely operated by the Turkish Air Force, alongside a possible CN-235 cargo aircraft.
Both aircraft are owned by Turkey's air force. Turkish F-16s were most recently deployed to Ganja airbase for exercises in July.
Why it matters: The discovery of potential Turkish F-16s at Ganja follows unconfirmed reports that Ankara had introduced combat aircraft into Azerbaijan's breakout conflict with Armenia.
Armenia's Defense Ministry alleged late last month that a Turkish F-16 based out of Ganja airport shot down an Armenian Su-25 over Armenian territory, killing the pilot. Azerbaijan and Turkey denied the incident. Turkish officials called the allegation a "cheap propaganda stunt."
Turkish F-16 aircraft support Azerbajan in war against Armenia
Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan reportedly spoke with White House national security adviser Robert O'Brien earlier this month, seeking an audience with President Donald Trump to inquire whether the F-16s Pashinyan said Turkey had deployed in the conflict had been sold to Ankara by the United States.
Despite Washington's apparent disinterest in war, the presence of Turkish F-16s in Azerbaijan is bound to raise concerns that such escalation could draw in foreign military support for Armenia. Israel is also reportedly arming Azerbaijan.
Russia criticized Turkey's military exercises with Azerbaijan earlier this summer. The Kremlin has a military agreement with Armenia and a base in the country not far from the Turkish border.
What's next: Ankara is throwing its weight behind Baku in the conflict, demanding that Armenia withdraw from Nagorno-Karabakh as a precondition to any cease-fire.
Despite Russia's hesitant attitude toward involvement in the war so far, Turkey's deployment of Syrian militants has raised homeland security concerns in Moscow

Llanfairtalhaiarn villagers' concern over flooding return
By Chris Dearden BBC Wales News
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-north-west-wales-24485597
Image caption Metal screens are fitted on the culvert to stop the Nant Barrog stream getting blocked
People in a village in Conwy are worried they will not be well enough protected from flooding this coming winter.
Llanfairtalhaiarn near Abergele was severely flooded in November 2012.
The stream that flows under the village - Nant Barrog - overflowed, leaving some homes under four feet of water.
Environmental body Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has already spent more than £91,000 to reduce the chance of it happening again.
But villagers say some other important work has been delayed because there is not enough money available to do it.
Natural Resources Wales says the project will be completed as soon as possible.
'Very patient'
The frustrating thing for everybody is that they don't see things happening quick enough
Geraint Jones, Llanfairtalhaiarn Community Council
Geraint Jones, the chairman of Llanfairtalhaiarn Community Council, said: "I understand there are massive constraints on public sector funding at the moment, and there will be for some time.
"But when people's lives and businesses are concerned, I think it's imperative that they get on and do it.
"The residents have been very patient up until now - they've dealt with cleaning up their homes themselves.
"The frustrating thing for everybody is that they don't see things happening quick enough."
The work that still needs to be done includes fitting new one-way drains so that if the water does come into the village, it has got a way out.
The culvert under the village is still partly full of gravel after the flood and needs clearing out.
'Nervous'
Image caption The Nant Barrog at the point where new one-way drains are needed to let flood water out of the village
Mr Jones added: "These works will happen, we understand that, but I believe there are issues with funding and funding authorisation.
"We are nearly a year down the road, and still waiting for this work to be implemented.
"Funding is no excuse. When you have an event like this that affects so many people, so traumatically, there should be no question. The work should be designed and implemented as soon as possible.
"I know for a fact that people will be nervous. They will hear the rain on the windows and the roofs and wonder what's going to happen, because the work that's been promised hasn't happened. "
A spokesman for Natural Resources Wales said: "In the past 11 months we have carried out a programme of works to help reduce the risk of flooding for people in Llanfairtalhaiarn.
"The first phase of this has now been completed and has seen alarms and CCTV installed to monitor the Nant Barrog, and a new debris screen upstream to reduce the risk of the culvert blocking.
"We've developed a community flood plan and identified flood wardens.
"All residents at risk have been offered individual property protection products such as flood gates for doorways
"The priorities for the next phase have also been identified.
"So far we have spent more than £91,000 with a further £132,000 of work in the pipeline."
The culvert underneath the village belongs to Conwy council which says it is discussing ways of getting it cleared.

Just when you think you've arrived at your fastest pace, whoosh! Another runner speeds past you like a bolt of lightning. You can almost feel a breeze from the force of their speed. You see them quickly disappear from your view and before you know it, they're long gone. How in the world does she keep up that pace? I'll never be able to catch up!
Unless you're the first one to cross the finish line in a race, there's always going to be someone running ahead of you. We are definitely called to run at our own pace, but that doesn't mean we can't learn from others who are ahead of us. Beginning runners seek out training tips from veteran runners. Runners who've sustained their first injuries could gain valuable wisdom from others who survived those same injuries. The first race ushers in a wave of anxious nerves. What should I expect? What should I wear for this kind of weather? Who else out there would know answers to these questions? Runners ahead of you! Their pace may not necessarily be faster than you, but they've pounded the pavement far longer than you have. Instead of putting them in an unreachable category, those of us who are behind them could instead reach out and ask for guidance and insight.
Dear friend, if you're a follower of Christ, there's always going to be someone ahead of you—further up the path of life. People who have been following Christ for many years longer. People who have long ago passed through the very same season you may be walking through now. People who have much wisdom and insight to offer if only we will ask. As you enter into a difficult season, perhaps a wave of anxiety is rushing into the depth of your weary soul. How will I ever get through this? Will I ever make it to the other side? And then you may wonder with great curiosity. WHO do I know that perhaps has ventured through this same kind of challenge?
In the Bible we meet a young man named Timothy, a new believer who needed some guidance and direction. The apostle Paul was running his race ahead of Timothy. Paul poured his very life into this young man! Without Paul, Timothy would've floundered in his faith. Grown weary. Lost his hope. But instead he clung to Paul. He humbled himself and listened with a teachable heart. And then he flourished into a bold teacher of the gospel. He could keep running his race at a fierce pace because he walked in the footsteps of Paul. Who's ahead of you?
READY? Identify an area of your life where you feel challenged and could use some guidance. Ask God to show you someone who has walked through a similar challenge. Are you willing to reach out and ask for help? Pray and ask God for strength and wisdom to take the next step.
GO! Heavenly Father, this life can feel so difficult at times! I feel weary trying to navigate through the hard times on my own. You've called us to carry each other's burdens, so I humbly ask you to show me someone who's ahead of me who can walk alongside me during this season of my life. Help me set aside any pride that may stand in the way. Amen.

You're in 5th grade and you have a crush on an especially pretty brunette in your class. Valentine's Day is rolling around and you want to do something to show her how you feel, no easy task for a ten-year old—in some ways no easy task for anyone. You decide to buy her a small heart-shaped box of Russell Stover's candy. You ride your bike to the drugstore, take your time to pick out a box that has no dents or scratches on it, and ride home through the frigid wind, your hands and face getting numb, with the box of candy tucked under your coat.
Valentine's Day arrives and you are ready to go, the box of candy hidden in your book bag. But then out of nowhere the nervousness hits you like a freight train. Your palms are sweaty and your heart is racing. At first you plan on giving her the candy during lunch or recess, but you're nervous about what the other kids might think and nervous about what her reaction would be, so you decide to wait until the end of the school day.
The final bell rings and as everyone is leaving school to head home you grab the candy out of your book bag and…you chicken out. You stand there holding the candy and watch her walk away with a couple of her friends, wishing you had the courage to run up to her and give her the candy. She and her friends disappear around a corner and you turn to walk home.
You start laughing and ask, "Who were you going to give that to?" And Sean tells you he was going to give it to the same girl you were. Instead, you both decide to sit on a bench by the playground, and while shivering from the cold, you inhale the entire box of chocolates yourself, laughing the entire time. You get a horrific stomach ache but it turns out not to be such a bad Valentine's Day after all. True story.
(From his album Cuts Like a Knife).
We desire a heart to heart connection—love straight from the heart.
If you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved (Romans 10:9-10).
Confessing with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that Jesus was raised from the dead is linked to your eternal salvation. It goes back to what you believe in your heart. You may think this is rather elementary, but I have encountered quite a few people who have been attending church for years, reciting the Nicene Creed for years, even receiving Holy Communion for years, who in their hearts actually do not believe any of it at all.
What comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles. For out of the heart come evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander. These are what defile a person (Matthew 15:18-20a).
In fact, Scripture goes so far as to tell us we actually need a new heart from God. King David prayed, "Create in me a clean heart, O God" (Psalm 51:10)—and "to create" means to make ex nihilo, out of nothing. And that is exactly what God assures us through another Old Testament prophet, Ezekiel: "I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, so that they may follow my statutes and keep my ordinances and obey them. Then they shall be my people, and I will be their God (Ezekiel 11:19-20).
In other words, you and I are just like the Tin Man in the classic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz (1939); we need a heart. Do you remember what the Tin Man sang?
(From "If I Only Had a Heart").
Does the Tin Man ever get a heart? Well, sort of. If you remember near the end of the film the Wizard of Oz proves to be a scam-artist, a charlatan and gives the Tin Man a heart-shaped pocket watch.
You and I do not need a heart-shaped pocket watch or even a heart-shaped box of candy for that matter. But when it comes to our relationship with God, we need a new heart so that we can have a heart-to-heart connection with the Living God.
How are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ (Romans 10:14, 17).
While the preacher may have been praying for the wrong kind of hearing as it related to poor Steve, the truth is that when it comes to the gospel, we all need prayers for our hearing. Because if instead of hearing the gospel of the unconditional love of God who longs to give us a new heart, who longs to have a heart to heart connection with, we hear an irrelevant sermon that when it comes to our eternal salvation is as helpful as a heart-shaped pocket watch, then we are in real trouble.
Certainly compassion was the wallpaper of Jesus' soul, the contour of his heart, it was who he was…Compassion is no fleeting occasional emotion rising to the surface like eros or anger. It's full-throttled. Scripture scholars connect the word to the entrails, to the bowels, from the deepest part of the person. This is how Jesus was moved, from the entirety of his being. He was "moved with pity" when he saw folks who seemed like "sheep without a shepherd." He had room for everybody in his compassion (62-63).
During his earthly ministry Jesus demonstrated such "full-throttled" compassion for those he encountered, especially sinners and sufferers. Jesus was tender and gentle. Unlike the Wizard of Oz, Jesus was no charlatan. When the final bell rang and it was time to demonstrate his love for you he did not chicken out, for not only was Jesus not a Tin Man, Jesus was also no Cowardly Lion—rather, scripture tells us Jesus is the mighty Lion of the Tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5).
So if on this Valentine's Day you can relate in some way to the Tin Man in that you may be in need of a heart, or you feel like an "empty kettle" or "torn apart"—or if the last thing on your mind is romantic love because you have been burned or hurt or simply don't care anymore—remember the good news of the gospel.
Jesus still has "room for everybody" in his compassion, including you. Jesus offers you genuine unconditional love "straight from the heart." In fact, Jesus can give you a new heart so that you can have a heart to heart connection with the Living God.
That could make this Valentine's Day the most important one of your life.

Congressional Republicans deflect, dodge and downplay Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting with Russian attorney
Deirdre Shesgreen
WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans sought to deflect, dodge and downplay questions on Tuesday about Donald Trump Jr.'s decision during the 2016 campaign to meet with a "Russian government attorney" to discuss damaging information about then-Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
Some lawmakers said Trump Jr.'s session with the Russian lawyer was due to his political inexperience and did not necessarily signal collusion with the Russian government. Others said they didn't want to comment, given the FBI and congressional probes into possible coordination between the Trump campaign and the Russians.
A few — mostly those GOP lawmakers who have already been critical of the Trump administration — said Trump Jr.'s meeting, and the emails he disclosed showing how that Trump Tower huddle came about, were problematic.
The June 2016 email to Trump Jr. promised that a meeting with a "Russian government attorney" would provide documents that "would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father."
"This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump," the email continued. Trump Jr. agreed to the meeting and said: "If it's what you say I love it especially later in the summer."

The email chain also shows that Trump Jr. forwarded the emails to then-campaign manager Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and a top adviser.
Sen. Roy Blunt, a Missouri Republican and member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Trump Jr.'s actions were "naïve," though perhaps Manafort should have known better.
Blunt said he would like Trump Jr. to come before the Intelligence panel and explain "what that meeting was all about and why you would go."
Asked whether he thought the president's son had engaged in any illegal behavior, Blunt said, "I don't know that. I mean it may be that on his part the level of being relatively naïve about politics and personal exposure to things that are hard to explain. Harder for Paul Manafort to say that he was naïve I think. So we'll see."
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said he believes the media was overreacting to news of the emails.
"I think this is overblown," Hatch said. Trump Jr. is "not part of the administration, he doesn't carry any banner he doesn't have any particular job in the administration" which reduces the significance of the disclosures.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was asked by reporters four times whether he had concerns about the meeting or whether it affected his relationship with the Trump administration related to Russia. Each time, McConnell offered some version of this response: "The investigation in the Senate is being handled by the Intelligence Committee, and I'm sure they'll get to the bottom of whatever may have happened."
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who sits on the Senate intelligence committee, said he hadn't seen the emails yet. "I'd like to know the whole story," he said.
Asked if the panel would call Trump Jr. to testify, Cornyn added, "I can't imagine a world in which that doesn't happen."
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said he would defer to others to make a judgment on the matter.
"We have a committee looking at that … I'm sure they'll get to the bottom of it, and we have a special counsel as well," Flake said. Asked what he would do if someone offered him damaging information about an opponent from the Russian government during his campaign, he responded: "From the Russian government? I'd go the other way."
Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, said it was "not appropriate" for Trump Jr. to have the meeting, but he demurred when asked if it amounted to collusion.
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., said the FBI would "get to the bottom of this. What it'll find is Russia tried to interfere in our election, duh. They've been doing it for decades."
But Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., normally an ally of President Trump's, had some harsh words for the administration on Twitter.
"I'm not confident of anything. More shoes will drop ... it's a classic scandal," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told reporters. McCain, who has no problem criticizing the president, frequently says that shoes will continue to drop during the investigation.
But Democrats went much further, with some accusing the Trump campaign of colluding with a foreign government.
Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., who was Clinton's running mate, even suggested Tuesday that the meeting was "potentially treason."
"Based on the emails that Donald Trump, Jr., released, the highest levels of the Trump campaign walked, eyes open, into a meeting designed to advance the Russian government's support for Donald Trump," said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. "These emails show there is no longer a question of whether this campaign sought to collude with a hostile foreign power to subvert America's democracy. The question is how far the coordination goes."
"This is the first time the public has seen clear evidence of the organized Russian effort today. It's an acknowledgement — black and white — that this was the crown prosecutor of Russia, part of a Russian government effort to try to discredit Clinton and help Trump," said Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee. Asked whether he had seen the emails previously, he said, "I'm not gonna share what we've had and when we've had it."
"So all of these denials that we have heard during the transition from the administration that there were no contacts with the Russians, no discussions about the campaign are all patently false," he continued. "There are no excuses for what we've seen the last 24 hours."
Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, told reporters Tuesday that all of the Trump campaign denials about meetings with Russia "now have to be viewed in a completely different context."
In regard to Trump Jr., he said "we'll certainly want him to come in. We'll want everyone connected with this meeting to come in."
Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, knocked his Republicans colleagues for their responses to the new information.

China has issued a newly-revised regulation on crime prevention work in the People's Liberation Army.
Xi Jinping, chairman of the Central Military Commission, signed an order to promulgate the regulation, which will enter into force on May 1.
The document underlines the characteristics of relevant work and the basic tasks, assignments of responsibilities and duties, major measures, working system and priorities in such work.
The regulation, with eight sections and 94 articles, stipulates measures in preventing crimes such as serious violent crimes, those related to firearms and ammunition, as well as military personnel's duty-related violations.
It also defines the responsibilities of various military organs in preventing crimes, urging to form a work pattern where the Party committees assume the primary responsibility, the political and legal affairs authorities take the major charge, all military organs perform their respective duties and all officers and soldiers have broad participation.

Q: Using the property of determinant, verify that Using the property of determinant, verify that:
$$\left|
\begin{matrix}
(b+c)^2&a^2&a^2 \\
b^2&(c+a)^2&b^2 \\
c^2&c^2&(a+b)^2 \\
\end{matrix}\right|=2abc(a+b+c)^3$$
My Attempt:
$$L.H.S= \left|
\begin{matrix}
(b+c)^2&a^2&a^2 \\
b^2&(c+a)^2&b^2 \\
c^2&c^2&(a+b)^2 \\
\end{matrix}\right|$$
$$C_1\to C_1-C_2 \textrm{and} C_2\to C_2-C_3$$
$$=
\left|
\begin{matrix}
(b+c)^2-a^2&a^2-a^2&a^2 \\
b^2-(c+a)^2&(c+a)^2-b^2&b^2 \\
c^2-c^2&c^2-(a+b)^2&(a+b)^2 \\

0&(a+b+c)(c-a-b)&(a+b)^2 \\

Taking common $(a+b+c)$ from $C_1$ and $C_2$,
$$=(a+b+c)^2

b+c-a&0&a^2 \\
b-c-a&c+a-b&b^2 \\
0&c-a-b&(a+b)^2 \\
\end{matrix}\right|$$
How do I get the proof?

A: If $a=0$ or $b=0$, or $c=0$, the result clearly holds. I will assume $a,b,c$ are all non-zero.
I will pick up from where you left off.
\begin{align}
&\begin{vmatrix} b+c-a & 0 & a^2 \\ b-c-a & c+a-b & b^2 \\ 0 & c-a-b & (a+b)^2 \end{vmatrix}, & R_3 \to R_3-(R_1+R_2)\\
&=\begin{vmatrix} b+c-a & 0 & a^2 \\ b-c-a & c+a-b & b^2 \\ -2(b-a) & -2a & 2ab \end{vmatrix}, & C_1 \to C_1+C_2\\
&=\begin{vmatrix} b+c-a & 0 & a^2 \\ 0 & c+a-b & b^2 \\ -2b & -2a & 2ab \end{vmatrix} \\
&=\frac1{ab}\begin{vmatrix} ab+ac-a^2 & 0 & a^2 \\ 0 & bc+ab-b^2 & b^2 \\ -2ab & -2ab & 2ab \end{vmatrix} \\
&=2\begin{vmatrix} ab+ac-a^2 & 0 & a^2 \\ 0 & bc+ab-b^2 & b^2 \\ -1 & -1 & 1 \end{vmatrix}, & C_1 \to C_1+C_3, C_2 \to C_2 + C_3\\
&=2\begin{vmatrix} ab+ac & a^2 & a^2 \\ b^2 & bc+ab & b^2 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{vmatrix} \\
&=2\begin{vmatrix} ab+ac & a^2 \\ b^2 & bc+ab  \end{vmatrix} \\
&= 2ab\begin{vmatrix} b+c & a \\ b & a+c  \end{vmatrix} \\
&=2ab((b+c)(a+c)-ab)\\

THE CHASE IS ON (AND ON)
Hit quiz show The Chase to remain on TV for another two years after 500 new episodes commissioned
From Andy Halls' Bizarre TV column
Updated: 5 Jan 2020, 21:10
BRITAIN'S love for The Chase had better continue into 2020 – after Bradley Walsh revealed ITV has commissioned 500 episodes for the next two years.
The hit quiz show — which is set for several spin-offs including Beat The Chasers and Are You Smarter Than A Chaser?, where the quiz experts take on children and AI robots — has attracted a peak audience of 5.1million.
Bradley Walsh and the Chasers have signed a big money deal for 500 more episodes of the quiz show
Host Bradley believes the secret to its success is the fact he laughs at the questions.
He said: "I have stopped [filming] for a good four, five minutes where I can't get it together.
"We've just signed a two-year agreement to do another 500 episodes but the concept was pure luck.
"There was a saucy question and I found it funny and one of the guys said, 'Look Brad you've got to stop laughing' and the other guy said, 'Why don't you leave it in?' — and they started adding in questions that made me laugh."
It is not just Bradley who will be on screens for another two years as chasers Mark "The Beast" Labbett, Shaun "Dark Destroyer" Wallace, Anne "The Governess" Hegerty, Paul "The Sinnerman" Siha and Jenny "The Vixen" Ryan are due to return, along with a new face.

AN Olympic rower, two sisters and a drag queen are among the brave souls taking part in the new series of SAS: Who Dares Wins.
Marketing manager Mark, whose glamorous alter-ego is Cybil War, hopes to show he is more than just a pretty face.

Mark's alter-ego is drag queen Cybil War
He is out to prove he has the same "fire" as his dad, who spent 18 years in the SAS.
When asked about signing up to the Channel 4 show, Mark said: "My father was SAS so it's something that I've always known about in the periphery of my life growing up."
But viewers of the first episode last night saw he had tough competition from the other contestants, who are overseen by chief instructor Ant Middleton.
Among them is Carla Ashford, who came fifth with the women's eight in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Carla, who has beaten breast cancer, said: "I feel like I've tapped into a side of me which I've never seen before."

Sisters Bethany Robinson and Elouise Gregor learned more about each other than they expected, with the former finding exercise helped her bipolar disorder.
Elouise said: "I am very protective of my sister. We would be doing a challenge and I would find myself looking for Beth to make sure she was OK.
"I do it unconsciously because I know what she has been through."
Fair play to them all for taking part – I wouldn't go within 10ft of those instructors.

James said: "I've been driving electrically since 2014.
"They're quite magical cars – quiet and smooth, a bit science-fictioney.
"Hammond fancies one as well, he just hasn't quite taken the plunge."
EMMERDALE'S Natalie Robb, who plays Moira, will be booze-free for a year this month and says she does not miss the hangovers.
She said: "I'm not saying I won't ever have a drink again but I won't have the same relationship with it."

£40K uni fee blow for Rav
BBC presenter Rav Wilding has been forced to drop out of his university degree because of high tuition fees.
The former Crimewatch host started a course in osteopathy – an alternative medicine for treating muscle and bone problems – but needed £40,000 to complete three years at The College of Osteopaths in London.

He said: "I was doing a course in osteopathy, I did two years of a degree. Unfortunately, with the £40,000 it cost to continue, I put that on ice.
"It's still very much something I want to continue."
The Sun revealed in 2017 that Rav was spurred on to do the course after suffering life-changing injuries on ITV show Splash! in 2013.
He snapped hamstring tendons during a somersault dive in training, which then left him with one leg shorter than the other.

Jacinda Ardern is sworn in as New Zealand prime minister
Originally published October 25, 2017 at 7:49 pm Updated October 26, 2017 at 1:06 am
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Jacinda Ardern was sworn in as New Zealand prime minister on Thursday and said she will lead a government that's active, focused, empathetic and strong.
Ardern and other senior lawmakers attended the ceremony in Wellington and took their oaths before Patsy Reddy, the governor-general. They then greeted several hundred well-wishers in front of the parliament.
"I want to start by saying it is an enormous privilege and an honor to stand with these wonderful people here in front of you today, in front of your house with your government," Ardern told the crowd. "I want to put emphasis on the word 'your' government."
At 37 years old, Ardern is the South Pacific nation's youngest leader in more than 150 years. She is the nation's third female prime minister and 40th leader overall.
Her liberal Labour Party did not win the most votes in the September election but managed to find enough common ground with two smaller parties to form a government.
The conservative National Party won the previous three elections and finished with the most votes but now finds itself on the opposition benches.
Ardern told the crowd she understood that not everyone voted for her but vowed to be a leader for everyone.
"This will be a government for all New Zealanders," she said.
Ardern has promised to make significant changes in the nation of nearly 5 million people, including banning foreign buyers from purchasing homes, holding a referendum to legalize recreational marijuana, and reducing immigration.
She has also outlined an ambitious environmental agenda. It includes planting 100 million trees each year, ensuring the electricity grid runs entirely from renewable energy, and reducing net greenhouse gas emissions to zero by the year 2050.
Ardern's Labour Party formed a coalition with the small, nationalist New Zealand First party. New Zealand First leader Winston Peters, 72, will serve as deputy prime minister and foreign minister. The coalition will also get support from the liberal Green Party.
Ardern has been compared to other young, charismatic leaders such as President Emmanuel Macron in France and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Canada.

Research interests include immunology and cell biology, with a specific focus on the molecular mechanisms controlling antigen presenting cells, in particular dendritic cells. Major current projects include an investigation of the role of lectin-like receptors in antigen uptake and the role of the cytoskeleton in dendritic cell adhesion and migration. The use of high resolution single cell imaging tools to achieve greater insights into the topography of cell surface receptors and the advancement of translational medicine through the treatment of cancer patients using antigen loaded dendritic cell vaccines are among his current fascinations as an immunologist.
Short CV
Carl Figdor obtained his Masters degree in 1979 from the University of Utrecht and his PhD degree in 1982 from the University of Amsterdam working at the Netherlands cancer Institute, where he got tenured in 1985 and started his own research group on tumor immunology. In 1992 Carl Figdor became professor in Cell Biophysics at the University of Twente (until 2009), and in 1994 he moved to the UMC st Radboud to start a new department on Tumor Immunology as a professor in immunology. Here he initiated a large translational program exploiting the immune system to fight cancer. From 2001 - 2010 he served as the first scientific director of the Nijmegen Centre for Molecular Life Sciences (NCMLS), in which also his department is located. Carl Figdor has been a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences since 2008 and is the recipient of several awards, including the Dutch van Loghum award for Immunology in 1999, the Dutch Spinoza Award in 2006, and the KWO award from the Dutch Cancer Society in 2009.

Elcaná o Elcana ( Elqanah ""Dios ha redimido [provisto, obtenido, poseído]") fue, según el Libro de Samuel, el marido de Ana y padre de sus hijos, incluyendo al primero, Samuel.

Elcaná practicaba la poligamia; su otra mujer, a la que favorecía menos, pero que le había dado más hijos, se llamaba Penina. Los nombres de los demás hijos de Elcaná no se mencionan en la Biblia. Elcaná desempeña un papel menor en el relato bíblico y más bien acompaña a personajes como Elí, Ana y Samuel.

Según su ascendencia Elcaná es de la tribu de Efraím; sin embargo, el Libro de las Crónicas afirma que era levita.

Distance education is practised in all parts of the world and in recent years, its scope has developed enormously and rapidly. It has become an intrinsic part of many national educational systems and an academic discipline in its own right. Research into the area has produced a body of theory which is now being used to improve its practice.
This new edition of Theory and Practice of Distance Education has been thoroughly updated both by describing how practice has changed, and by examining recent research in the field. Like the first edition, this book provides a comprehensive survey of distance education, looking at it globally and discussing the different lines of thought and models used. It describes the place of distance education in educational thinking, its various theories, principles, and techniques of presentation, its organization and its administration.

The artists of the Astana Opera Theater presented a new program of the gala ballet. The distinguished dancers of the ballet troupe staged the best examples of choreography by Marius Petipa and Agrippina Vaganova. The arrangements by Roland Petit, Sergey Mikel and Kseniya Zvereva were staged for connoisseurs of modern works. The concert featured Kazakhstan's honored workers such as Madina Basbayeva, Rustem Seytbekov, Zhandos Aubakirov, Aigerim Beketayeva, the theater's leading soloists Anel Rustemova, Bakhtiyar Adamzhan and other talented dancers.
I dance a pas de deux of Diana and Actaeon from La Esmeralda ballet. My pas de deux is different from other dances of the evening. There are other emotions, technique. In technical terms and the music are quite different. It is necessary to jump, spin, but to show the aesthetics of movements.
Gala ballet is much more complicated than the play. The play needs to be prepared emotionally, morally, gradually. In the first act there is adagio, then the second. And here you come out and dance a pas de deux. It is much more difficult.
The gala ballet also featured the guests from Ukraine and Belarus, including leading stage master of the National Academic Bolshoi Opera and Ballet Theatre of Belarus Konstantin Geronik and artist of Odessa National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater Ellina Pohodnyh. The soloists are the laureates of the third International Ballet Competition in Astana and the holders of the certificates entitling to perform on the stage of the main theater of the country. Konstantin Geronik performed to Astana audience the "Loneliness" and Ellina Pohodnyh performed the grand pas "Paquita" ballet. According to the artists, the gala ballet was a great opportunity not only to show their art to the Kazakh public, but also to share their experiences with the soloists of the Astana Opera Theater.


This time of year is for many the end of chapter and the start of a new one. With many students graduating, many people moving away to study or start jobs elsewhere...I feel that at this time of year I find myself wondering what's next!
I remember the dreadful feeling of two years ago, when I was doing my final exams and no clue what to do after that. It is very normal to feel scared and alone at these points in life. New beginnings, as exciting as they sound, they are awfully scary.
I am no expert and in no way able to give advice but I have a history of 'being too scared'. What you might have been convinced of for so long may become doubtful at the very last minute. On the other hand, you might be enticed to take fretful decisions without necessarily thinking out of the box.
As always best thing to do is calm down. I always grab myself a paper and jot down pros and cons of whatever life changing decisions I am going through. See what else is out there, don't stop at the first thing you find appealing. This is the time to see and weigh all of your options. Don't leave any out because you will regret it.
If you are too confused, talk to someone who can help. Just speaking your worries out loud may be enough for your brain to process things better. Plus, external guidance will always be helpful in such situations. At the end of the end which ever way you choose, don't ever think that the decisions you take to day are for life...the way I did. That is too stressful and is too huge a burden to carry. It will never be too late to change to whatever makes you happier.

I have a background in engineering and engineering management. For the last seven years I have worked in Health & Safety and Environmental Protection and have various qualifications in both disciplines. I am able to use these areas of expertise and my professional experience to benefit the schools and their Governing Body.
I have a desire to see the schools succeed and provide and excellent learning experience for every child enabling every child to reach their full potential.
