Quotations about Auditioning. Quotes to stimulate mind and drive action! Use the words and quote images to feed your brain inspiring things daily!
Especially like right now, I'm not shooting a show so you get to act. You get to do that stuff, kind of treat everyone as 'All right, throw the paint against the wall and see what I can do with this and what people say.' I think it's a great mental workout because you have to ready something, learn something fast. It's good to stay on your toes and keep sharp if you're auditioning.
I don't know if it was a defining moment. I knew it as soon as I could comprehend the possibility of having a career. I knew very young I wanted to be a movie star. As much as I grew into love of the craft. As soon as I could speak I was auditioning and going to classes every day. It was my life.
I've had a lot of experience auditioning people, and I can do it rather quickly even though sometimes I let them linger and give them time, but I kind of know after I see them do a couple of steps. I know.
If you only take parts that are offered to you, you end up playing the same roles over and over again. I think it's important to keep auditioning. I think it's important to scare yourself; to take parts that are outside of your comfort zone.
I am auditioning again - getting back to theatre would be amazing.
To determine whether or not you have the ingredients to be charismatic, answer the following questions: What are your real feelings about who you are? What do you believe in? Do you have goals or a mission in life? Do you project optimism? Do others turn to you for leadership? Noncharismatic people spend their lives auditioning for others and hoping they'll be accepted. Charismatic people don't doubt their ability to add value to a situation, so they move forward with their mission.
If I had known how much I hate auditioning, I doubt I would have become an actress.
When I was starting out, I didn't know what the hell I was doing and my person who was helping me out, I didn't even have an agent, got me five or six big auditions for leads in movies in 1986 that I had no business auditioning for. I think I ran out of three of them before I'd even finished.
Auditioning is extremely bizarre. Just being an actor is extremely bizarre, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
I remember the days of auditioning and being nervous and so I really didn't want to make people have to jump through hoops to do auditions and be nervous and make them more nervous. I kind of wanted to hire everybody and find something for everybody.

For its March webinar, the Centre welcomed Naomi Bullock from Open Door Group to provide an overview and training of their DRENA tool.
The topic garnered a huge amount of interest and even set an attendance record for webinars hosted by the Centre. Thank you to Naomi and her colleague Cathy for presenting and responding to audience questions, and to Michelle for sharing her experience. And of course thank you to everyone who participated!
Click here for a copy of the presentation slides and here for the DRENA order form. The full webinar recording can be viewed below.
During the presentation, a question was raised as to whether a DRENA needed to be provided prior to referring a Client to a Discovery Assessment in the Employment Program of British Columbia (EPBC.) The response provided during the presentation was incorrect. In accordance with EPBC policy, a DRENA must be provided as a pre-requisite step to Discovery if the Client identifies as having a Disability.
The webinars are really informative. I am also a Registered Rehabilitation Professional and value the education credit units for my designation. Therefore, confirmation of attendance is much appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you for your participation and feedback, Andrea!

How today's professionals and enterprise workstation users work is rapidly changing. Working remotely regularly is more common place and the adoption of new technologies is transforming CAD/engineering, visualization and prototyping, and content creation workflows. One tool that is an effective solution to help improve productivity and creativity is video capture. Using video to communicate ideas can help with collaboration, accelerates decision-making, enhances training, and improves customer communication.
Despite its obvious benefits, up until now incorporating video capture into professional workflows has been challenging, with existing solutions either not being designed for workstation use or having too high of a performance penalty. That changed with the release of Radeon Pro Software Crimson ReLive Edition last month, which includes Radeon Pro ReLive software that enables GPU-accelerated capturing and recording of professional workflows with minimal performance impact.
With AMD's release of the Radeon Pro Software Enterprise Driver 17.Q1, Radeon Pro ReLive is now also available for users who require the performance, stability, and rock-solid reliability of our Enterprise Software along with the ability to capture their workflows for collaboration, presentation, training, and customer support.
These are the four key use cases of Radeon Pro ReLive we believe benefit workstation users the most, and we'd like to take you through each of these in more detail to show the benefits that our video capture solution, including its minimal impact on performance, can bring to your workflows.
Sharing ideas through collaboration is critical to the success of any creative endeavor, and video has become the ubiquitous medium for communicating ideas in the post-information age internet-based video sharing platforms. When working with others, video is often the most concise way to communicate your ideas — by using Radeon Pro ReLive to capture your workflow, you can enhance your colleagues' understanding of what you hope to achieve and make it easy for them to help you when you come up against any roadblocks, accelerating the creative process.
A great example of how Radeon Pro ReLive can be used with a workstation media and entertainment application such as Autodesk® Maya®, would be to use ReLive to capture a short video highlighting all the main points of some new attributes you added to an animation so you can more effectively communicate your vision to your team, instead of having to explain it with text and screenshots in an email.
Because ReLive gives you up to 129 percent faster performance in Maya when recording at 60fps than when recording at 30fps with a screen capture application like TechSmith Camtasia1, your colleagues will be able to view your work with negligible quality or performance degradation. Similarly, if you are a designer working with a CAD solution such as Siemens® NX™, you'll also find that ReLive enables much better performance (up to 148 percent2) when capturing compared to Camtasia.
Effectively presenting your work to your company's decision makers or to customers to update them on its progress is also an integral part of any project, and video can often be the most effective way to do this. With its ability to record audio and add a voiceover for additional explanation, using Radeon Pro ReLive to create the video for your presentation will allow for better decisions to be made, fast.
Complex detailed designs in applications like Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS® can require a lot of system resources and if you want to record a video of your design to show to your senior management you'll want to use a tool that nominally affects your PC's performance; Radeon Pro ReLive allows for up to 196 percent better performance in SOLIDWORKS when compared to Camtasia.
In any organization that produces physical products designed with CAD solutions, you'll find that the majority of users simply need to view the CAD data, rather than have full access to the design software itself. At the same time, when sharing that data, you still want to be showing the actual original product design, rather than a less-detailed representation.
What better way to do this than to use Radeon Pro ReLive to record a video of the product that can be viewed on virtually any device instead of having users open the actual CAD files, which would require additional (and costly) application licenses? When working in the media and entertainment industry, ReLive can be used to record a particularly complex visual effect workflow so additional artists can be trained to duplicate it. The ReLive video capture of a product can also be used to help train external parties by showing them the actual product designs, too.
In addition to being able to record audio for a voiceover, Radeon Pro ReLive can also capture the output from your webcam in a repositionable and resizable window that can be used to add a human presence to the training videos you create.
Using Radeon Pro ReLive to provide customer support is a similar use case to training, in that you can capture and create videos to help with troubleshooting. But when it comes to support, it's a two-way street, and to effectively resolve an issue the customer also must be able to clearly communicate what the problem is. If they are also using Radeon Pro Software, they can record the issue with ReLive and share the video so the problem can be quickly identified and the case can be closed. Again, the option to be able to record audio and a webcam overlay can allow customers to better communicate their problem to your support team.
As is evident from the above, Radeon Pro ReLive, AMD's powerful professional-grade solution for high-resolution screen capture and recording, is the ideal tool for workstation users who wish to improve their creativity and productivity through video capture to collaborate, present, train, and support.
Radeon Pro ReLive is free and integrated within Radeon Pro Settings and can record GPU-accelerated H.265 High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) video at up to 4K resolution4. H.265 video's smaller (up to 44% smaller compared to H.264 AVC video5 when using ReLive) file size enables faster data transfers when sharing recorded workflows. ReLive includes an intuitive, easy-to-use interface, a repositionable application toolbar, and a resizable and repositionable webcam overlay.
You can read more about Radeon Pro ReLive and download it as part of our latest Radeon Pro Software Crimson ReLive Edition and the Radeon Pro Software Enterprise Driver 17.Q1 at http://www.amd.com/radeonprorelive.
As of January 24, 2017, Radeon ReLive H.265 HEVC video recording only available on desktop discrete Radeon™ Pro WX series products.

Can an Authorized Credit Card User Still Use the Card if the Cardholder Dies?
By: Neil Kokemuller
••• Sky View/Photodisc/Getty Images
An authorized card user is someone a cardholder gives permission to use the card through the card provider. If the cardholder dies, the more important concern is whether you should continue to use the card, not if you can. You could face dire consequences in some states if you continue to use a deceased cardholder's account as an authorized user.
Potential Risks
Each state has its own laws and approach for dealing with this situation. In general, a deceased person's debts are viewed as an obligation of his estate, not his family. Thus, if you don't use the card you are generally off the hook for balances. If you do use the card, the best-case scenario is often that the provider comes after you for the entire balance. In some cases states will prosecute users who use a deceased person's cards for fraud.

By Dominic King for MailOnline
Andre Gomes has indicated he is prepared to join Everton permanently after rejecting the opportunity to move to West Ham.
Manuel Pellegrini had told West Ham's hierarchy that he wanted to sign the Portugal midfielder but Gomes, who enjoyed an encouraging season on loan at Goodison Park, is not keen on them.
He had also been courted by Tottenham but that move seems unlikely.

Everton would love to keep Gomes, who enjoyed his year on Merseyside, making 27 appearances in the Premier League.
Gomes, who has been on the radar of a number of clubs, would be prepared to stay and the onus will now be on Everton to negotiate a deal to make his move from Barcelona happen. He could cost more than £30million.
Everton, who released club captain Phil Jagielka on Tuesday, have yet to make a signing this summer but the need to reinforce is pressing and Marcel Brands, the Director of Football, has a job to trim as many as 20 professionals from the squad to streamline.
The club have, however, offered a new contract to Leighton Baines and are hopeful that he will sign for another 12 months at some point over the next week.

He is ready to reject interest from Manuel Pellegrini, who wanted to bring him to West Ham
Marco Silva, the Toffees' head coach, admires his professionalism and talent and said at the end of the season he wanted to keep the left back.
Baines, who has given outstanding value to the club since he signed for £6million from Wigan in 2007, has been mulling over the terms – as well as considering his status in the group and what opportunities there will be to play – but Everton are confident he will agree to the extension.
They are also aware, though, of the need to bring in new recruits and the urgency to find a striker has been intensified.
Cenk Tosun damaged his knee ligaments last week and won't be fit by the start of August
Cenk Tosun damaged his knee ligaments last week playing for Turkey against Greece. He does not need an operation but he will not be ready for the beginning of the campaign.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin will also miss the start of pre-season, as he will be an integral part of the England Under-21 squad that will attempt to become European Champions in Italy later this month.
Oumar Niasse will be the only fit central striker at the start of pre-season but Everton would sell him for the right price.

The Board of Directors of the Friends of Mason Neck State Park recognized Kim Thompson for her years of service to the Park at the Board's May 8 meeting. Board members described Kim as the "heart and mind" of the Friends and stated that without her, the Friends would not exist. The Board presented Kim with a plaque commemorating her service, and Reinhardt Gray, the Park Manager, announced that Kim's name had been added to the Park's plaque recognizing volunteers with more than 1,000 hours of service.


The Neosho Fire Dept. was organized and incorporated in October of 1887. The officers were: Chief Herman Schmitt, Emil Roessler, and Treasurer Martin Leischer. In 1966 the department moved from the old station which was located in the basement of the old village hall, to its current location on Hwy. 67. In 2001 an additional 2,720 sq. ft. was added to the fire station creating additional fire truck bays, meeting room, kitchen, hose tower, new restrooms and office.
In 1976 the Neosho Fire Dept. began serving their community with a First Responder unit. Today, the First Responder unit serves the Village of Neosho and Town of Rubicon, and averages 70+ EMS calls per year. Our First Responder unit is a charter member of Dodge County EMS Association.

Musk wants to land a manned mission on Mars by 2025

SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk has never made a secret that he wants to go to Mars, and soon. Plans for an unmanned landing in 2018 using a Red Dragon capsule were announced earlier this year, and now in an interview with the Washington Post the tech entrepreneur has given a broad outline of a proposal that could see a manned mission touching down on the Red Planet in 2025.
The proposed 2018 landing would be the start of an intense program of sending ships to Mars every two years as Earth and Mars come into opposition. This is the time that the planets are at their closest and the least fuel is required to reach Mars.
These missions would be used to gain experience in interplanetary navigation and how to safely landing ships on Mars and would carry experiments and rovers – not all of which might be built by SpaceX. Each of these would launch from Earth using the 27-engine Falcon Heavy carrying the Red Dragon capsule. This would be designed to slow down using the Martian atmosphere for braking and the capsule's Superdraco rockets for final descent.
The landings would culminate in a manned mission touching down in 2025. This would use SpaceX's planned Mars Colonial Transporter, which is scheduled to first fly in 2022 and is designed to not only carry explorers, but, as it says on the tin, colonists.
"Essentially what we're saying is we're establishing a cargo route to Mars," Musk told The Post. "It's a regular cargo route. You can count on it. It's going to happen every 26 months. Like a train leaving the station. And if scientists around the world know that they can count on that, and it's going to be inexpensive, relatively speaking compared to anything in the past, then they will plan accordingly and come up with a lot of great experiments."
Not surprising for the man who won the Heinlein Prize in 2011, Musk plans for the landing to be privately funded, with NASA providing technical support in exchange for data acquired by the venture. He also admits that there's a large element of risk for the first pathfinders to Mars.
"It's dangerous and probably people will die — and they'll know that," says Musk. "And then they'll pave the way, and ultimately it will be very safe to go to Mars, and it will very comfortable. But that will be many years in the future."

I'm sure he'll manage it ... after all it only took him 2 years to land an unmanned rocket on earth in perfect conditions ...
RichardU June 13, 2016 10:36 AM
Dreaming.
habakak June 13, 2016 03:11 PM
Nope. Not going to happen. How will SpaceX fund this? We just don't have the energy required to talk about 'colonizing' Mars. Maybe once we figure out nuclear fusion (and we can do it affordably). But until such time, dream on. Can we send private unmanned craft there in the next 10 years. Possibly, but unlikely (due to cost). Now, if he can take something useful there for a paying client, then it becomes a lot more feasible. Manned missions however will result in certain death.
Douglas Bennett Rogers June 13, 2016 04:59 PM
Someone like Musk sholud be building an accelerator-based fusion rocket. Magnets could be launched one at a time. Needs no expensive vacuum chamber.

Thankfully after the Benghazi Butcher tried to kill our space tech lead and have us depend on the Soviets instead of using our own, proven Space Shuttles, good old "Yankee Ingenuity" has stepped up to the plate again.
Is the 2025 date possible? Just how long has the government bureaucratically-blocked NASA been trying to make a reusable, landing (rather than splashdown) rocket, and this guy does it in two years?
Only high-level, covertly authorized "accidents" will keep this goal from being reached.
RichardU June 13, 2016 07:47 PM
When Mars is at its closest to the Earth for fuel efficiency, it'll take approximately six months to get there, then they have to wait 18 months for the next opportunity to return. The entire mission will be approximately 2.5 years. We do not have the technology to protect the astronauts from radiation for the period of time, fuel, food, life support, they will need existing habitation already on Mars to support them. We simply can't do it at this time. The biggest hurdles are radiation protection and fuel. Neither exist at this time to be feasable. 2025, not going to happen.
Derek Howe June 13, 2016 08:51 PM
RichardU - Thats what people thought about landing the first stage of the rocket back on Earth...or a barge in the ocean. If anyone can pull this off, it's Musk. I can't wait until September, the Space conference thing he'll be at in Mexico. That is when he will unveil a TON of info. All people know so far is that he will give a talk, and in it disclose his BFR (Big F*ckin Rocket), which will dwarf the Saturn V rocket. Also he will show off the MCT concept (Mars Colonial Transport), which is the ship that will take people to Mars. The Main ship itself wont land, it will be for space only, and endlessly bounce back and forth from Earth to Mars & vice versa. Exciting Times!
davidkarr June 14, 2016 12:44 AM
I suggest colonising the moon first. Lets toddle before we go into warp speed. The moon is 3 days away. Mars is NINE MONTHS away at best. There are some similarities to Mars and some not. By experiencing living away from earth, the experience will be in good stead. Also rockets to Mars could be launched from the moon which only has 1/6 of earth's gravity.
neutrino23 June 14, 2016 04:53 AM
This is extremely ambitious. They pretty much need to start building now to launch in time to land in 2025. You would think they would want to go through a few iterations of attempted landings, failures and redesigns.
It changes the scope of the work if you are already talking about people dying. NASA wouldn't work that way.
To gain the protection from space radiation that you have at sea level you'd need about 40 ft of water around you. On Mars I suppose you could get away with 20 or 30 ft of soil over your head so perhaps the colonists could dig in and live mostly underground with limited excursions at the surface.

Trump Is Different, and Different Scares People
"You think that if you don't fight back then maybe they'll like you, stop picking on you, calling you a freak. Well, here's what it is. They don't like you. They don't dislike you. They're afraid of you. You're different. Sooner or later different scares people. Victim or not; make a decision." The Accountant, 2016
The above words are from the film, The Accountant, spoken by the father of the main character, a brilliant man who as a child was diagnosed with Asperger's, a high-functioning form of autism. The father is a career military man, a Colonel who, rather than treat the boy as disabled, trains him to confront his social demons and to deal with the world as it is. The boy is bullied at school, of course, and the quote launches a flashback to when the boy is about twelve. The father takes him and his younger brother to a meet where a group of other boys are planning to beat him, and gives the little speech at top before his son gets out of the car to confront the bullies. But the boy is prepared. His father has trained him well; the training has been brutal and effective.
The father's admonition perfectly describes President Trump's place in the DC establishment since winning the election. They don't like him. They are afraid of him. He's different and different scares them. He does not think like them, operate like them, or play by their rules. So they want to take him out. They are the bullies, our beltway politicos and the media. Trump is not afraid of bullies. The quote is also a prescription for and an explanation of how Trump is dealing with his place in that world. Somewhere along the way he learned, or someone trained him, to never be a victim.
For many months, the Democrats have insisted Trump colluded with Russia to win the election. Everyone, including the Democrats, knows very well this is not true, that it was a tall tale invented by the Clinton campaign the night she lost the election. But because the Democrats and their handmaidens in the media assume the public is stupid, they thought they could pull it off. They have learned their lessons from Goebbels and Alinsky; it's all about selling the big lie.
No one has been more dogged to that end than California congressman Adam Schiff. He continues to make a fool of himself slogging this false narrative. And now it is blowing up in the faces of the Democrat/media connivance to bring down a President they abhor. As the truth begins to break through the media blockade, the fact that it has been the Democrats all along who were colluding with the Russians is becoming quite clear to a wider public. The Democratic Party, the Clinton campaign, the FBI, our intelligence agencies under Obama, have all colluded to undermine and sabotage the new President. (Russia tries
to intervene in elections all over the world to sow chaos.) They will not succeed as Trump long ago learned who to ignore and who to engage. He knows how not to be a casualty of orchestrated smear campaigns: fight back hard. When he fights back like the left, the left is stunned. How dare he behave as they do!
As long as people like Charles Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Patty Murray, Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, Keith Ellison, Luis Gutierrez, Al Franken, John McCain, Susan Collins, etc. keep getting elected, the country will continue to be drawn into the vortex of Marxist socialism and all that it entails (think Venezuela) and the scourge of single-payer health care which, of course, is not health care at all. It is ironic that the left keeps harping about Russia. For decades progressives revered and hoped to emulate the former USSR. Such is the blatant hypocrisy of the left. They, of course, would never submit to the indignities of anything less than concierge care, let alone Medicaid; they want to throw money at the middle class and the poor and not be bothered by their petty problems like the fact that they do not have access to actual care. The elitists in Congress only want to feel good about themselves. They rarely follow through and discover that their lobbyist-launched votes for or against any policy have been disastrous for "the people" for whom they care not at all.
With the possible exception of Joe Manchin, it is impossible to name a single Democrat with an actual conscience regarding "the people." There are several Republicans: Mike Lee, Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, Chuck Grassley, Louie Gohmert, and Trey Gowdy who are honest brokers, men who are of the actual world, not the pretend, insulated version of it. There are a few more but not nearly enough to buck the rest of them, the capitulators.
The Founders would be ashamed. The loss of reverence for individual liberty and overall freedom and the left's love of statism are a betrayal of all they had achieved by 1789. The Democrats' disdain for the Constitution is heartbreaking. The vicious retribution of John McCain's tanking even the slightest, almost meaningless repeal of Obamacare is a personal revenge victory for him and a blight upon the nation. McCain revealed that his own character yields to his personal demons, not the country or the people who elected him.
The very fictional life of The Accountant's character is the stuff of all violent action films and has nothing whatever to do with Trump beyond the reaction to his presence in the midst of a closed community, Washington, DC. His own family was intact and he was trained to be a warrior in business, a survivor, not a virtual machine for physical self-defense. But the words of the film's warrior father ring true: The DC establishment, Democrat and Republican, does not like Trump. They are afraid of him because he is different and different scares them.


Hope everything goes well in your side!
I want to select a bonding coating for Cast steel substrate of piston ring parts, and top coating is CrCNiCr mix with Mo powder.
and bonding coating powder candidate are NiCrAlYs, CoNiCrAlY, NiCr, NiAl!
So any body could suggest which one is more better for this bonding coating and what are the reasons, any comments from your side will be great appreciates!
If you have a plasma spray system, would be a NiAl bond coat the best. Very good adhesion also provides the mixture of self-fluxing nickel-based alloy (NiCrBSi) with molybdenum powder (80% Mo + 20% NiCrBSi). When plasma spraying of this mixture you can even do without the top coat, because the layer Mo-NiCrBSi is hard and wear resistant.
If you have only a HVOF system, you can not really work with molybdenum. In this case, would be better Cr3C2-NiCr powder spraying directly on steel.
Thanks a lot for your comments, yes, we only have plasma system so that why we try coat a bonding coating on cast steel base material, and top coating is CrCNiCr mix with Mo powder.
In the plan there has not bond coating, but after coating when did bond strength testing(OEMs requirement testing method apply on hardness testing device load to judge) with 5 Kg and 10 Kg load at interface, coating had cracks, we want to spray metal bonding coating to avoid crack when do bond strength testing. I am think which bonding coating powder after plasma spray could keep toughness which will not crack do strength testing.
I fear that the simple mixture of a commercial sintered agglomerated Cr3C2-NiCr powder and a sprayable molybdenum powder is not the best solution for your application (coating for piston rings).
The Cr3C2-NiCr powder are, actually, optimized for HVOF spaying and not well suited for plasma spraying. In addition, the two powders (Cr3C2-NiCr and Mo) are quite poorly compatible with each other: it forms a very coarse distribution of the components, as both powders are grainy and have high melting temperatures.
In combination with molybdenum you need a low fusible metal component that can well envelope the molybdenum particles. That would be NiCrBSi alloy.
coating try to avoid crack happen when 5 kg or 10 kg load testing.
And top coating powder is CrCNiCr(blend type) mixed with Mo.
We had failed experience many times without bond coating when load testing.
So I am considering keep bond coating toughness after plasma spray then could crack free when load testing, this is my idea and want to select bond coating powder for a trial.
Kindly view load test pictures, show interface crack happen when with 5, 10, 30kg load. So there will crack without bond coating.


Sideshow Collectibles will be releasing a very awesome looking Tychus Findlay figure featuring the life-like looking anti-hero in his Terran Marine costume from his appearance in Starcraft II.
Former soldier. Erstwhile thief. Convicted felon. Tychus Findlay has been called a lot of things, to which his reply is usually a rousing, "Guilty as charged!" Surrounded by rumors regarding his reputation, even Jim Raynor – the one man who knows him best – can't always distill fact from fiction. But while no one can be certain of the truth behind his past, or just where his loyalties lie, one thing is for sure: Tychus Findlay always goes big. Always.
Tychus Findlay will be priced at $524.99, with optional payment plans available.
Pre-orders begin this Thursday, February 19th.

MCC Honors Diplomatic Missions, Corporate Entities in Monrovia
Webmaster Admin
Majoy Koijee (front row, 2nd from right) poses with some of the honorees and representatives of the honored corporations.
The administration of the Monrovia City Corporation (MCC) has honored more than 25 Diplomatic Missions and Corporate Institutions in the city for their "unceasing role in helping to secure, maintain and sustain peace and economic development," a release has said.
Some of the entities, according to the release, include Lonestar Cell MTN, Orange-Liberia, the US Embassy and other embassies and foreign missions accredited near Monrovia.
They were awarded for their support to the government and people of Liberia in achieving the government's Pro-poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development (PAPD) through donor funding, budget supports and various kinds of robust private-public sector investments.
Mayor Jefferson T. Koijee, who spoke on Monday, May 27, 2019 at the Diplomatic and Investment Award Gala held at the Monrovia City Hall, said the recognition was to foster a stronger relationship between the esteemed entities in the country.
"This is to also recognize your respective nations and, by extension, their contributions to Liberia's growth," said Koijee. He believes that cementing a strong relationship is "certainly a hope to the facilitation of sister-city relationships" with municipalities, which the diplomats represent.
Koijee said that MCC acknowledges the tireless contributions of the honorees, and other friendly nations accredited near Monrovia, who are working to strengthen the fragile peace and steady economic development as well as the immense support to the nation's PAPD.
He added, "The City Government is cognizant that peace is a necessary precondition for sustained economic growth and prosperity for Liberia. Therefore, we are committed to utilizing the platform provided by the MCC to preach peace, mutual respect and enhanced dialogue within our jurisdiction and across the 15 counties by extension."
Mayor Koijee anticipates that foreign missions in Liberia will use their influences with municipalities within their respective countries, investors and companies to connect Monrovia to foster trade, imports, exports, manufacturing, assembling and production among other smart economic exchanges.
He said Monrovia has enormous business and investment potentials, and it stands ready to collaborate with investors to explore these possibilities that are yet untapped. According to Koijee, this year's Gala event is first of its kind. It is a constructive step to building the confidence of foreign and local investors; foreign investors have played and are still playing key roles in the economic development of the country.
He said it is a fact that at present, multinational companies of USA, China, UK, Germany , France , and Lebanon are doing great business in Liberia, and providing strong support to the social development sector with a view to improve human and social development indicators .
Some of the foreign missions honored were the embassies of Great Britain, Sweden, South Africa, Guinea, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and China. The corporations were the Guaranty Trust Bank, Rice Importers, and Brussels. The African Union, ECOWAS and United Nations were also awarded for their many contributions to Liberia's Peace, Economic growth and development.
The honorees lauded the MCC for being farsighted to recognize their efforts in getting Liberia on the right path, and called for a collaborative effort in sustaining the peace. They pledged to uninterruptedly support the government's PAPD by attracting potential investors, and helping to maintain and sustain the country's peace.

Since the government hospitals in the state of Gujarat are weighed down by the vacant positions which results in poor medical services in rural areas, the state government has made it mandatory for the students admitted to its seven self-financed medical colleges in the state to compulsorily intern in rural areas for one year.
The decision was taken by GMERS (Gujarat Medical Education and Research Society) that manages the self-financed medical colleges which are located in Sola, Gandhinagar, Valsad, Gotri, Patan, Himmatnagar and Junagadh. The students admitted in these medical colleges will now have to give an undertaking to do one year internship in rural areas.
In case if the students refuse to do the internship in rural areas, they will have to pay Rs 2 lakh for the violation of the undertaking. The students have to furnish a surety of Rs 2 lakh for the same.
Currently about 35% of positions in the medical service centers in the state, which include nearly 1200 PHCs and 300-odd community health centers, are lying vacant. The government will be able to provide medical services right at the primary health centre level even if 50% of the students go for internship every year in rural areas.


Do raindrops get bigger as they fall from the sky?
This excellent question came from a second grader while learning about condensation in The Weather Program taught by Catch the Science Bug. He wanted to know if more and more water vapor molecules stuck to the water drop as it fell and if that is why the amount of rain falling can change from a drizzle to rain to a down pour.
Yes! After checking with the National Weather Service, water vapor can attach to raindrops as they fall and increase the size of the falling drop, thus increasing the amount of rain falling. The United States Geological Survey also informed us that raindrops can bump into each other and become one drop as they are falling as well. This process is called coalescence. Once a drop reaches 4 millimeters in size, it usually splits into two drops.
Additionally when a different cloud moves overhead, the amount of rain and the intensity of rain may also change. So this is another reason why, we can change from a drizzle to rain. Rain is usually from a cloud higher in our atmosphere and drizzle from a lower cloud.
In case you are wondering…..How do raindrops form?
Raindrops form when water vapor molecules bump into a dust particle in a cloud and condense around it becoming a droplet (smaller than a drop). Condense means that the water vapor (water in gas form) changes to water in liquid form around the dust particle. Wow- a good thing about dust! The size of the dust particle will affect the size of the droplet. A bigger particle of dusts results in a bigger droplet. The droplets must coalesce (bump and become one) with other droplets to become heavy enough to fall from the cloud.
