How to immigrate in Europe from Iraq
Parent Category: ROOT Published: Monday, 25 January 2021
Immigration to Europe from Iraq
Moving to Europe is the best choice for Iraqi that still dreams of a better & brighter future. For the past 10 years, Iraq has been making news headlines for the worst reasons.
It's almost like nothing good can come out from Iraq. Poverty, insecurity, war, famine, and high cost of living.
Since 2003, the continuous violence between the United States military and Iraq has led to the displacement of close to 5 million people. An estimate of 3 million people is presumed internally displaced (IDPs), while the remaining 2 million are either refugees, slaves or immigrants.
Iraqi have one of the highest refugee population in the world with close to 5 million displaced people (15% of its population). They are the third-largest after Afghans and Palestinians. That means that one out of every six people is missing.
But fear not, this interesting country is on the verge of a comeback. The economy although unstable is rising, reconstruction and rehabilitation are well underway. A lot of foreigners and philanthropists are heading to Iraq to support it and experience its charms.
In this section of this article, we'll be walking you through on the full process of migrating to Europe as a citizen of Iraq, best places to reside in Europe as an Iraqi and how to start a new, better life in Europe either as an Iraqi student, entrepreneur or elderly in Europe.
Why do migrants from Iraq move to Europe?
Why would anyone live Iraq? Truth be told, Iraq is not the best place to live at the moment. The number of Iraqis moving to Europe has doubled since 2013. In 2014, only 1,023 Iraqis were documented in Europe. By September 2015, 91,769 Iraqis were recorded in Europe, arriving through the Eastern Mediterranean route alone.
Thousands of Iraqi refugees & migrants are desperately pushing their way into Europe. The reasons for this phenomenon vary among individuals. For Some, Europe is a haven where all your needs are met by the government unlike in Iraq that is constantly threatened by militias and there are constant fear and hunger.
Other Iraqis leave Iraq because of the never-ending economic recession caused by the fall in oil prices. Our findings revealed that the main reasons why Iraq migrants move to Europe are because of insecurity in both general and personal areas. Along with lack of equality, social injustice, economic and political instability.
Europe is perceived by Iraqis to be a place of peace, security, equality and social justice. Where Iraqi migrants can live peacefully at lower costs, risk, and favorable immigration policies.
Best ways to immigrate to Europe from Iraq
The European Union has given Iraq fundamental interest and support. This simply means that Iraq is in good terms with countries in the EU. From 2003 - 2009, the EU has offered over €1 billion to Iraq for both reconstruction, aid and humanitarian assistance.
Unfortunately, this kind of gesture does not extend to individual citizens. There is no "Special" policy or regime in place for refugees, migrants or displaced persons coming from Iraq. You have to apply for visas, permits, taxes or nationality like citizens of other states.
You'll need to obtain a travel visa before you can go to any EU country. You'll also need a work permit to work in the EU and a student visa if you plan to study there. The cost of these documents varies between countries but it is usually between €300 and €1,000.
Getting a job in the EU is much more formal. Unlawful/undocumented migrants cannot be employed, and governments will not offer any support to these people. All Iraqi migrants must possess legal documents if they want to find a job, study, reside or obtain citizenship in any EU country.
If you plan to stay self-employed or retire in any EU country, you need a long-term visa that is valid for up to 2 years before you can begin the process. Getting married to an EU citizen also grant you full citizenship rights and permanent residency, once you acknowledge your citizenship.
According to UNHCR, the general cost of moving to Europe from Iraq is estimated at $10,000. One of the cheapest ways to migrate to the EU from Iraq is by migrating as an Iraqi asylum-seeker.
Asylum-seekers are people who want international protection from other states and without being refugees in that state.
Applying as an asylum-seeker or refugee allows you easy access to countries in the EU and benefits for multinational organizations like UNHCR, UNICEF, and IRC. These benefits include financial assistance, accommodation, and security.
Asylum seekers in Europe cannot work until their application has been approved. If you have money to purchase visas and other travel documents, find a consulate or embassy of the EU country you want to migrate to and they will guide you on the full process. Possessing an EU visa doesn't mean that you have secured a job.
Racism, suspicion, language, and religion are barriers that hinder Iraqi migrants from accessing jobs in EU countries.
EU is only a governing or regulating body. There are different policies for marriage, jobs, pension, study, and citizenship among member states. If you plan to migrate from Iraq to Europe, make sure that you know the policies and effects of being an Iraqi migrant in that country.
Top 3 countries in EU for Iraqi
The most-reported countries for Iraqi migrants are Germany (37%), the Netherlands (11%) and the United Kingdom (11%). While these are the most popular countries in Europe for Iraqi migrants, these are the best countries for Iraqi migrants to reside in the EU:
1. Greece
This is the major entry point into the EU for Iraqis. In 2006, the Greek ministry of public order recorded 1,415 Iraqi asylum-seekers and 8,157 illegal entrants.
Greece is one of the most popular places in Europe for Iraqi migrants that have no family or friends. Plus, the cost of living in Greece is quite manageable for migrates especially elderly ones.
Germany received 2,117 asylum seekers from Iraq, the 3rd highest in the EU. the German Federal Ministry of the Interior also has policies in place (e.g the Memorandum of Understanding to Northern Iraq) to protect Iraqi refugees who came into the country legally.
What this means is that Germany is one of the best places to reside in Europe if you are an Iraqi refugee. In Germany, you have no problem fitting in as a refugee.
If you're an Iraqi migrant looking to start a new life as a student, then the UK is the best place to stay. The UK offers countless academic support to Iraqi migrants and citizens of other third-world countries. Although the cost of living in the UK is high, there are a lot of improved Iraqi communities found all over the UK that will support you.
The exodus from Iraq to Europe is not an easy one. There are thousands of applicants like you waiting for a chance to leave for Europe. Even if your application is approved, life in Europe is not usually easy for Iraqis, especially for irregular migrants.

Q: Can't get Task.Result to return string unless I add a Thread.Sleep First time asking a question here I'll try to be as specific as possible.
I am working with a WebBased Api at work and I am having a difficult time getting the Task to return a result.
I have a trade class as such with a Buy method and a GetOrderNumber method.  On my MainForm I am using a Task to execute the Trade and then retrieve the ordernumber associated with that trade.
NewTrade Test = new NewTrade();

Task<string> tmp = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => Test.Buy("JPM.NY", 100, 59.50));
string reqid = tmp.Result;

Task<string> tmp2 = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => Test.GetOrderNumber(reqid));

Console.WriteLine(tmp2.Result);

The First Task returns a REQID number.  The second Task uses the REQID number and returns the actual ORDER NUMBER for the Trade Placed.
The problem I'm running into is I get the ReqID number from the first task but I return blank on the second task.
IF HOWEVER I add a Thread.sleep() between the first and second task I get the ordernumbers.
I'm using Tasks becasue eventually there will be hundreds of orders being placed it's critical to have the ordernumber for every order.
class NewTrade
{
   public string Buy(string stkName, int stkShares, double limitPrice)
    {
        try
        {
            using (MyWebClient client = new MyWebClient())
            {

                Stream data = client.OpenRead("http://localhost:8080/ExecuteOrder?symbol=" + stkName + "&limitprice=" + limitPrice + "&ordername=ARCA%20Buy%20ARCX%20Limit%20DAY&shares=" + stkShares);
                StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(data);
                string s = reader.ReadToEnd();
                s = getBetween(s, "<Content>", "</Content>"); //this is a util function to parse the result
                // MessageBox.Show(s.ToString());
                data.Close();
                reader.Close();

                return s;
            }
        }
        catch (WebException e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
            Console.WriteLine(e.StackTrace);
            return "Nothing";
        }
    }

    public string GetOrderNumber(string id)
    {
        string s = "";

        using (MyWebClient client = new MyWebClient())
        {
            try
            {
                WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://localhost:8080/GetOrderNumber?requestid=" + id);
                WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
                var reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());

                s = reader.ReadToEnd();
                Console.WriteLine(s);
                return s;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
                return "";
            }
        }
    }
}

A: Using Tasks can make your application more scalable as you are enabling threads to handle other tasks while the asynchronous task is in progress.  That being said, using     Task.Run or Task.Factory.StartNew to do IO  tasks in the background defeats that purpose. You need to make your methods truly async by calling the async API of the IO constructs you are using. Try changing your code to something like this:
public Task<string> MakeTradeAsync()
{
    NewTrade Test = new NewTrade();

    string reqid = await Test.Buy("JPM.NY", 100, 59.50);

    string orderNumber = await Test.GetOrderNumber(reqid);

    Console.WriteLine(orderNumber);

    return orderNumber;
}

That will require you to make Test.Buy and Test.GetOrderNumber async as well. Which you can do by using async APIs to access your server data.
 public async Task<string> Buy(string stkName, int stkShares, double limitPrice)
 {
    try
    {
        using (MyWebClient client = new MyWebClient())
        {
            // use async API here to get the data, assuming existance of OpenReadAsync
            Stream data = await client.OpenReadAsync("http://localhost:8080/ExecuteOrder?symbol=" + stkName + "&limitprice=" + limitPrice + "&ordername=ARCA%20Buy%20ARCX%20Limit%20DAY&shares=" + stkShares);
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(data);
            string s = reader.ReadToEnd();
            s = getBetween(s, "<Content>", "</Content>"); //this is a util function to parse the result
            // MessageBox.Show(s.ToString());
            data.Close();
            reader.Close();

            return s;
        }
    }
    catch (WebException e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        Console.WriteLine(e.StackTrace);
        return "Nothing";
    }
}

public async Task<string> GetOrderNumber(string id)
{
    string s = "";

    using (MyWebClient client = new MyWebClient())
    {
        try
        {
            WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://localhost:8080/GetOrderNumber?requestid=" + id);
            WebResponse response = await request.GetResponseAsync();
            var reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());

            s = await reader.ReadToEndAsync();
            Console.WriteLine(s);
            return s;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
            return "";
        }
    }
}

A wonderful card design. Great colors too.
Great coffee-themed card! Love that you created your own background. Thanks so much for joining us at Color Throwdown!
This is an interesting color combo and I love how you have used it on your card. The third color would have stumped me but you got it in on the cup and then a repeat on the sentiment. Very clever. I like this very much.
This is so cute. Love your stamped background paper and how you added the heart to the cup.
Great design, Nancy. I love the stamping on PP for your background and the layered up sentiment.
Cute, cute, cute! Love the coffee theme and great use of the colors!
What a fun design! Love the patterned paper you created for your card's background. Thanks for joining us for this week's Color Throwdown!
Love the fun colors and the cute cups……adorable card!


Mother Nature has dished out a lot of back & forth with the actual arrival of Spring weather in many parts of the country, so it feels good to be thinking about planting flowers! We're not experts on gardening, so we've dug around and found top lists for great plants to add to a planter box recommended by true plant lovers.
What you'll find here are time-tested annuals that you can plant in your containers or planter boxes to add some color to your backyard patio, your front porch, or underneath your pergola on your pool deck that'll make you smile when you look out your window each morning. I have to admit, it was hard to narrow this list to 15 (which is why it's a list of 19 instead), and it was also hard to stop flipping through and enjoying all the brightly colored blooms that are out there and ready to plant! Are any of these your favorites too? If there are too many to choose from, add a couple extra planter boxes to your patio so you can plant more flowers!
Hope you enjoy adding some colorful plants to your planter box and other containers this Spring and Summer!

The end of each year represents a special relish for malicious users due to the celebration of the holidays, where, through Christmas-related lies, seek to capture the attention of users.
To get the alleged prize, you must previously activate an account with WesternUnion. In the body of the message are embedded two links, the first of which, under the caption"GO TO LOGIN PAGE FOR ACTIVATION (CLICKHERE)", it redirects to a real page Company (https: / / e-finance.postfinance . ch), while the second link,"CLICK HERE", it redirects to a fake site requesting personal information (http://203. [REMOVED] .149/js/default.html).
However, when you click on this second link, there is a new but redirect to a site with an IP address (http://203. [REMOVED] .6/panel / [REMOVED] en.html), which presents the form above. The purpose of this is that the user enters personal information that can be used to commit fraud.
If we compare both pages, the real and fake, we see that there are differences between them, but, viewed by a user who does not know these methods of deception, the fraudulent scheme may be effective for the attacker.
As can be seen in the capture, phishing has two more fields of data, email address and telephone number. The main objective of this is that the attacker, in one instance get all the information you need to then commit fraud.
It is clear that the techniques of deception and fraud are increasing and there for everyone, however, it is important that we know how to identify and avoid falling into traps how are you, especially on important dates such as Christmas is where many we tend to shop online.
UPDATE 19:30pm: apparently, the IP address 203. [DELETED] 149 belongs to an Internet service provider in Pakistan called Supernet. In contrast, the second address, 203. [REMOVED] .6 (where it is hosted the fake site) would be under the Ministry of Education of Thailand.
A while ago I came across an interesting recent report developed by the company Verizon Business under which describes the most common security problems that occurred during the past four years causing considerable loss of information in enterprises.
in 39% of security breaches, business partners actively participating in the company (Partners), an issue that has multiplied since 2004.
18% was caused by internal staff, what is known as insider factor.
Given this information, we can demystify the belief that states that the greatest damage is caused by external attacks (73%) is perhaps carried out by a guy who is on the other side of the world from your PC and drinking beer . Contrary to what may seem remarkable that this percentage, damage from these attacks have a minimal impact.
Not so when the attack is led from within the organization because, although the percentage is lower (18%), this type of attack is what causes more damage in the company because, in most cases are committed by staff with inside information and knows the business and sensitive.
Now, after reading these points, the question that generates the turning point on this subject is "could have been avoided? As the answer a resounding YES.
In the same report stated that 87% of the problems could have been prevented through basic safety measures, ie through the implementation of reasonable safeguards designed precisely to prevent this important 87% of problems.
Another important fact that exposes the document is that 22% of the attacks occurred through the exploitation of vulnerabilities of which over 80% were known, ie it was not 0-Day exploit, besides having its corresponding security patch that addresses the weakness.
This point in particular, brings to mind the great noise that has been causing, for example, the worm conficker high infection rate in just days by exploiting a vulnerability in Windows platforms settled in security bulletin MS08-067, or the recent vulnerability in Internet Explorer resolved in MS08-078 and many trojans are actively exploiting.
Sa ber is extremely important that some basic safety measures we should take into account pass through implementing and / or update the Security Policy of the information in the enterprise, and monitor compliance with the measures outlined in this focuses almost the entire solution to security problems mentioned.
Know what data we have, where they are stored and what is the value that has each risk according to the plan made it is also an issue to consider and you can not secure what is not known and what is not knows where.
We should try to adopt the sense of a strategist to ensure the environment or at least find a proper balance of security in it.
An interesting document that calls for reflection on the security problems that commonly described leaving an organization's most valuable asset protection in that account information, often without knowing who is available "for all audiences".
In this case, how this tool was presented to the common user reminds me of scenes from horror films, those that generate panic anyone. However, I would like to share a few words to appease the users the feeling of fear that can generate this type of malware.
On the one hand, remembering their own common stock of old viruses and Trojans early, it is difficult to realize that the functionality offered by this application are not harmful at all novel, taking some of them more than a decade, as can be found at our history of computerviruses.
Features such as disable logging, or System Restore Task Manager, are present in any current malware. For example, the generator set out in the picture was released in September 2007.
While it is true that this style of harmful applications make creating massive automated malware, especially for inexperienced users and computer literacy, we must not fear or paranoia that allows us to enjoy the use of technology.
We simply have to be vigilant and stop anti-malware security solutions like NOD32 detects these threats proactively since its launch, thanks to its advanced heuristics.
As we know, phishing is a criminal type whose main objective is to obtain sensitive information and then financially defraud users by deception which is the most widespread cloning websites banking and financial institutions as we see below.
With the arrival of the celebrations of Christmas and New Year, these techniques will increase their rate of criminal exposure and many alternatives will be used by those who are behind these moves, not only through phishing but also through other strategies such as the spread of malware by virtual cards, chain messages, spam with "opportunities" to buy, and so on.
It is therefore essential to act with caution and be alert to these criminal maneuvers in what way? Well, here I propose three basic tips.
Secure protocol. Verify that the page where personal information must be accessed, count on the secure version of http protocol(https),so we make sure the site is encrypted through protocol SSL (Secure SocketsLayer). This creates a secure communication channel to protect the data.
Embedded malicious links. The email is a highly-used channel for the spread of threats like phishing and malware. It is normal to find emails that claim to be from banks seeking to update our data and have links embedded in the body of the message allegedly redirected us to a form where we enter the information. So we should never click on links or respond to requests through the mail.
Web site encryption. It is important that the website of the bank or financial institution, or any other where we request personal data entry, count on the necessary layers of security to ensure secure transmission of information. We verify the existence of a digital certificate in the web browser and that is not expired. This way we know that we are witnessing a safe place.
So pay attention! Recall that an important part of security and prevention of this, and many other types of threats is on the human factor, ie, in us, so we must turn to best practices that enable us to provide an adequate level of security.

The weekend of Marathon watching was amazing. Living - temporarily- in the city was even more incredible! On Friday, I considered DC to be a raging metropolis. However, three days in NYC suddenly shrank this city down into the size of a very manageable town. It's nice to be back though! Hoping to see many of you on Wednesday!

The White House proposed new cybersecurity legislation Thursday that aimed to protect the country against threats to the national infrastructure and the economy, but it was too small a step, according to IU cybersecurity experts.
Fred Cate, a professor in the Maurer School of Law and the director of the Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research, said cybersecurity attacks are a huge problem in today's society.
The proposal focuses on the protection of American citizens, critical infrastructure, government systems and privacy and civil liberties. The legislation includes harsher penalties for cybercriminals and requires the Department of Homeland Security to work with companies in the private sector to identify and address vulnerabilities.
Von Welch, the deputy director of the CACR, thinks the new legislation was a positive step, but not a big enough one.
"My concern is that it isn't keeping up with advances we're seeing in cybercrime," he said.
The administration's cybersecurity efforts have been focused on new technologies, rather than on creating legal and economic incentives for the private sector to invest in better security, Cate said. This approach hasn't worked, he said.
Cate said that U.S. counterintelligence officials report that 140 foreign intelligence organizations are actively engaged in trying to hack into U.S. government and business networks.
Welch agrees. Much of what the legislation does is formalize practices already happening, he said.
Cate and Welch agree that there are some positive parts to the plan. Its focus on critical infrastructure, by mandating core critical infrastructure operators, creates a plan for addressing threats. Having those plans evaluated by third parties is a good step given the importance of critical infrastructure to national security, Welch said.
What's missing from the plan, Welch said, is a similar push for other parts of the Internet.
Cate explained how the plan could be improved.
"The plan could include legal requirements for good information security, tax incentives, safe harbor provisions for businesses that try to enhance security even if they fail, liability provisions to allow injured consumers to recover from harms caused by bad security and new enforcement powers and resources for the Federal Trade Commission," he said.
In addition to calling for new privacy protections, he said the President should appoint the members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, which Congress created, but the administration has yet to fill.
Cate also said the administration's plan includes no effort to curtail risky behaviors by businesses themselves.
"The recent discoveries that Google and Apple are both collecting location data on smart phone users and storing that data, unencrypted, in unsecured files suggests that some regulation may be appropriate to protect individuals as well as industry," he said.
The bottom line? Technology is very important in security, but the administration's focus on it is only one step towards enhancing information security.

Rory McIlroy had scathing comment about LIV Golf
by Alex Evans

Rory McIlroy is apparently far from done when it comes to expressing his displeasure with LIV Golf.
McIlroy partook in an interview with CBS' Kyle Porter on Saturday that will be released later this week ahead of the 150th British Open. Porter did share a preview of the interview that drew attention.
Porter asked McIlroy to clarify his previous comments on the Saudi-backed league. The golfer continued to be one of the league's most outspoken critics.
"There's no room in the golf world for LIV Golf," McIlroy said. "I don't agree with what LIV is doing. If LIV went away tomorrow I'd be super happy."
The 33-year-old's comments aren't necessarily surprising given that he's expressed his disdain over the upstart league before. McIlroy, who has stated his commitment to the PGA Tour, called out Brooks Koepka and other LIV defectors for going back on their Tour commitments and joining the new league.
McIlroy also took the time after his recent RBC Canadian Open win to take a shot at LIV CEO Greg Norman, who was uninvited from this week's British Open celebration as the rift between the two golf leagues grows.
LIV has been making it difficult for McIlroy's wishes about LIV to come true. The league has already lured away major champions, including Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson, with large amounts of money. More golfers are likely to follow.

What Everyone Should Know About Being A Mental Health Worker
Emily Kurtz
You'll encounter two kinds of people: those who assume that your workplace looks something like the asylum in American Horror Story, and those who will look at you, stony-faced and say, "Oh. We had to put my aunt in a place like that," before awkwardly changing the topic.


Russian Doll (2019)which is like Groundhog Day meets Happy Death Day has the lead character stuck in a constant cycle of dying and coming back to life day after day. Ritesh Rajan, who has played a few small roles in The Last Airbender, Criminal Minds, NCIS: Los Angeles and Stitchers, appears as Ferran, a frequently recurring character on the show who constantly comes to the aid of Alan (the main protagonist) after the latter has a nasty break-up with his longtime girlfriend. Although you may have not seen Rajan on the screen in the Star Wars TV series and The Jungle Book (2016), his presence was felt in the form of the voices of Trent (an imperial transport driver) and Mowgli's father.
Did you know that India-born Los Angeles-based art director Harshit Desai co-created the uber-cool opening sequence for Narcos? The montage, which opens to the mellifluous sound of Rodrigo Amarante crooning Tuyo, captures how Pablo Escobar's cocaine empire was exposed to the rest of the world. Desai claims that many of the archival shots had to be re-scanned for higher resolution and non-existent footage was shot and made to look like it belonged to the late '70s. Apart from the creative, he also ended up making all the cocaine bricks out of baking soda himself, an exercise that he swears he thoroughly enjoyed.
Ash Tandon plays Deepak Sharma on the British series Bodyguard (2018) which revolves around the premise of war veteran David Budd (Richard Madden) being assigned to protect the controversial and ambitious home secretary, the Rt. Hon. Julia Montague MP (Keeley Hawes). The India-born actor, who has made sporadic appearances on U.K.'s longest-running television soap Coronation Street, plays the detective chief inspector who is tasked with investigating the murder of Montague and reports directly to the branch's Commander, Anne Sampson. Prior to this, he has starred as a police constable on Coronation Street, making an appearance 13 times since his first outing in the series in 2002.
Real 'Westerbros' need only look at the merchandise on RS Windlass' website to pick out Jon Snow's iconic black coat that he sported during his stint as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. The Dehradun-based company, which is now being looked after by Rashi Goil under the supervision of her father Rajiv Goil, has been in the business of manufacturing props for illustrious productions like Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Harry Potter and Gladiator since seven decades but hadn't come into the limelight until very recently since most of its products were meant for export only, and the market in India for such merchandise was at a nascent stage. However, RS Windlass is steadily gaining recognition amongst the merchandise-loving youth of India and its owners have now begun to take credits for the props they design and supply.


Excitement stirred within me when I first felt "stubbies" on my head. The thrill faded quickly when the color of those "stubbies" appeared. White!
"Your hair will most likely come in thicker, curly, and a different color," they said. I expected dark, auburn maybe, or red even. Golden blonde, as in my youth, appeared in my dreams. But white? Seriously? Silver threads had overtaken my golden strands years ago. I had chosen to enable the gold to maintain its rightful position as the sole heir to the crown on my head, with a little help from Lady Clairol. So, to say my expectations were devastated is an understatement.
Granted curls now enhance my locks. And it is thicker. Two out of three aint bad as they say. But I struggled with white hair. It ages a person. Why the trend for shades of silver caught the attention of young women, I'll never understand. I want to say to them, "You'll get there soon enough, honey. And you'll hate it when you do." I had heard 60 is the new 40, and I was livin' it. But thanks to cancer, my age caught up to me and slapped me across the face.
Gray hair maybe my crown of glory, but I sure am not living righteously when I complain.
I need reprimanded for an ungrateful heart. Instead of being thankful for all the blessings the Lord has granted me through this cancer run, I grumble over white hair. The time and energy I waste on fretting about my appearance could, should be spent on rejoicing. I should share all the good things occurring in my life. Let's face it, if white hair is the only thing I have to concern myself with, live is beyond good.
But expectations dilute praise. Expectations wrestle with joy. Expectations blind us to the value of our true appearance. Expectations debilitate us more than neuropathy.
Just like cancer can destroy our bodies, expectations can destroy our souls. We can fight back.
Listen to others. Many people have complimented me on my new hair. They can't all be just trying to be nice.
Focus on the positive. God has enabled me to do everything I could do before. I'm getting stronger every day. I am victorious.
Accept myself as I am now. Love and acceptance abound toward me from those closest to me, as well as from God. I need to do the same.
Praise instead of whine. Yes, develop an attitude of gratitude. I have much more to be thankful for than to complain about.
Embrace my new normal. Stop comparing myself to others or to the way things were before cancer.
Continue doing what God called me to do—encourage others.
Lift up my eyes to Heaven and remember my destination.
Prepare for that destination and help others prepare for Jesus' return.
How about you? How do you level your expectations?


Well, looky, looky here, it's February!
I've already heard several people say, "Wow. This year is going so quickly." In fact, I venture to say I hear that more and more each year I live on this planet named Earth.
As we get older, we all feel like time goes faster. There is an explanation for this. Each year we live is a smaller percentage of our life.
Remember when a year really used to mean something big. I remember when second grade was a lengthy event. Third grade, the same. But as time progressed, each year slowly felt quicker and quicker.
Does this mean we all become pessimists, fed up with life?
No. What it actually means is that our perspective constantly is changed based on our age. If we are 8 years old, a year is 1/8 of our existence. That is kind of a big chunk, if you think about it. Plus, we have no memory of the very early years.
If you are 42 years old, that is 1/42. Mathematically, it is not that big of a deal.
So, here is the idea: Whenever someone says his age, see it as a fraction. The college student will no longer be 19. He'll be 1/19. Your mother could be 1/68.
In these pictures of my daughters, they look great this year at 1/8 and 1/10, and they were also cute at 1/1 (or 1) and 1/3.
Looking at age as a fraction, the person's perspective on the ever-moving construct known as time will make more sense. I would love us to stop using age as a number and officially change it to a fraction, but I know too much tradition has gone into age for that to happen.
Age and time are manmade ideas. I do understand that the Earth goes around the sun exactly once in a year, and there is science to it that makes sense.
However, we tend to hold dearly arbitrary beliefs ingrained in us that aren't always correct. Perhaps this age as a fraction has come to you already, but I'm not sure. I did a bit of googling, and I did not find this idea on the "Inter-webs."
Maybe the fraction idea will be used to you. At least, once I figured this out, I quit obsessing over age and realized that we are destined to have each year go faster and faster.


CMOs are struggling to be heard. This is one of the main conclusions in the new Evolving Marketer Study 2018.
Much the same way that HR was looking for a seat at the table in the 90s. CMOs need to better understand their contribution to revenue. Part of that is to better integrate with data solutions and the CIO office. Or, even a convergence of the two roles. Think about that for a minute.
As data driven CMOs are increasingly in demand to deal with a myriad of digital developments around privacy, data management and precision targeting, AI and more, there's more pressure than ever for each C-Suite occupant to collaborate. CFOs are still behind when it comes to digital knowledge, and that adds to the confusion over seemingly blurred lines between traditional organizational structures and the roles of CTO, CIO and CMO. Not to mention the CEO.
Maybe what it will take for CEOs to truly understand the impact of marketing on an organizations bottom line (currently only 53% of CEOs fully understand what their CMOs actually contribute), is a better understanding of digital transformation.
One of the top takeaways from our Global CMO Study is that data and analytics have seen the largest share of budget increase for CMOs. Less than 50% of the data that they have access to is being fully exploited. CMO's need to devote more attention to the tools and resources required for smarter analysis. In fact, CMO's today are responsible for 12+ different areas of creative and technology assets.

Bronze statues made with the lost wax casting technique
The first step is creating a scaled sketch in wax, which serves as a guide for the work. The next step is to model the clay statue (with internal reinforcement to prevent fractures) in its definitive dimensions, called the "core", which is then baked to transform into terracotta. Because of the natural shrinkage caused by baking, the terracotta model is slightly smaller than the final result. A wax layer is applied to the model to reach the final dimensions of the piece. Modeling the wax must be carried out with care in all of its details, because the final appearance of the statue depends on the wax. Then a series of small tubes in various sizes are applied to the wax covered "core", called vents, with support sprues. Then another layer of clay is extended along this "porcupine" surface (called "coating" or "mold"), from which the open vent holes protrude.
Then the model is once again baked in the kiln slowly to melt the wax and let all of it drip away through the vents. In the meantime the fire also transforms the clay into terracotta and the support sprues permit the creation of a hollow space between the "core" and the "casing", where the molten bronze will then be poured.
Before proceeding with the final pouring, the entire structure is covered with mortar, creating the so-called "casting hood" which is reinforced through iron plates. The hood is melted away into a space underneath the kiln where the molten bronze will be poured. The bronze, entering into the hollow space, forms the statue, with a thickness equal to that of the eliminated wax.
Once poured, and after cooling (one or two days), the statue is erected and the casing and hood are broken away, and the statue appears as a form of bronze tubes (vents) and nails. To prevent any risk of dilation, the core in terracotta is extracted, usually from the base, or through openings which must then be repaired. Any incomplete parts must be poured again and welded. After the nails and vents are eliminated, the statue may appear very rough depending on the molten metal used, so an extensive period of "metal chasing" may be necessary, including sanding of the surfaces (milling and polishing), integration of any defects and elimination of improperly cast areas (with the insertion of the so-called blocks), refinishing of details (often through engraving and chiseling) and the elimination of all imperfections.
In some cases a final coating or gold-leaf operation is also part of the process, which is carried out by applying a thin layer of a mercury and gold mixture to the surface. When the piece is heated the mercury evaporates, leaving the gold coating.
Feel free to contact us for any information on times, prices and ways and means to give life to your statues, statuettes and custom bronze sculpture, even life size.

Marko Stat$ - Both Of Us (Video)
Directed by Bryan Zawlocki
A Northside Representative, who's bringing a lot of energy and very personal rhymes, Mark Stat$ drops his new visual for "Both Of Us". For this video he teams up with Elevator, to let loose with no restraints with Aced Spade handling the production. The song can come off as one persons' stark view on life, but its much more than that. Marko raps of lost friends, loosing his mother at a young age, and a change in lifestyle, but he gets through it and uses that pain, injecting it into his music like adrenaline.
This is the intro track to his project, "Lost Souls", where he raps "Welcome to lost souls the movie, and if you thinks this a mixtape you got me fucked up". A strong indication of what he brings throughout the 13 track 'movie'. His latest full length release is available here, and chekcout the video below.

Wellington bus drivers voted for industrial action including a fare strike – driving buses while refusing to take fares – from the 28th of January if their employer NZ Bus continues to force part-time shifts on them.
The company's attempts to use more part-time shifts with fewer hours would see many drivers face loss of income and increased uncertainty of hours and has become a key issue in the current negotiations.
Wellington Tramways Union Secretary Kevin O'Sullivan says members are furious. "Up until recently we've had a pretty good relationship with NZ Bus but in recent months there's been a real push from the company to undermine the people who work there.
"Alongside the hostile reaction from the other company servicing Wellington's public transport, Tranzit, there's now real pressure on the bus system and on drivers' terms and conditions.
"The blame for this and the broader Wellington bus fiasco sits with the Greater Wellington Regional Council, so it is appropriate that a fare strike will hit them in the pocket.
Also names need to be named for targeted boycotting at the local body polls.

South Dakota State picked to repeat as Summit League Champs
South Dakota State was a runaway favorite to win the 2019 Summit League Championship, earning 34 of 36 possible first-place votes in the preseason poll.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Both South Dakota State and the Jackrabbits' All-American forward, Mike Daum, were near unanimous selections en route to being named The Summit League preseason favorite and Preseason Player of the Year, respectively, for the upcoming 2018-19 men's basketball season.
The Jacks, who topped the preseason poll with 570 points, and Daum both received all but two first-place votes by a panel of 36 voters consisting of the league's nine head coaches, sports information directors, and select media members. Daum and his teammates have won The Summit League Tournament each of the last three years and the 6-foot-9 sharpshooter has earned MVP honors following each of those runs to the NCAA Tournament.
The remaining two first-place votes in the preseason poll were split among South Dakota (2nd; 470 points) and Denver (3rd; 454 points), while the other two preseason player of the year votes went to Purdue Fort Wayne's John Konchar. Daum and the Mastodon's senior point guard were joined on the Preseason All-League First Team by South Dakota forward Trey Burch-Manning, Omaha wing Zach Jackson, SDSU guard David Jenkins, Jr., and Denver guard Joe Rosga.
The Preseason All-League Second Team was dotted by a pair of Western Illinois standouts. The Leatherneck duo of seven-footer Brandon Gilbeck and guard Kobe Webster was accompanied by South Dakota forward Tyler Hagedorn, Oral Roberts forward Emmanuel Nzekwesi and North Dakota State guard Tyson Ward.
Points for the preseason poll were compiled on a 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis, while all-league teams were compiled on an 11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis. The top six vote-getters earned first-team honors and the next five were selected to the second team. Coaches were not permitted to vote for their own student-athletes or team.
The 2018-19 campaign gets underway in just over a month as Oral Roberts (at Missouri State), South Dakota State (vs. Grand Canyon) and North Dakota State (at New Mexico State) all play on opening night (Nov. 6). The Summit League regular season begins on Dec. 28 with four conference matchups.
There will be an in-person Basketball Media Day in The Summit League's new hometown of Sioux Falls, S.D., on Monday, Oct. 22 where all nine head coaches will be on hand to preview the upcoming season.
The 2019 Summit League Tournament will be March 9-12 at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center in Sioux Falls, S.D.

Preseason Summit League Notes
• Daum, Konchar and Rosga were all First Team All-Summit League performers in 2017-18 and the duo of Daum and Konchar are looking to be named to the first team for the fourth consecutive season
• Daum is looking to become just the second player in Summit League history to earn three consecutive Player of the Year honors (Caleb Green, Oral Roberts; 2004-07). He averaged 26.0 ppg and 12.5 rpg in league play a year ago and equaled the league record with seven Player of the Week accolades
• Konchar ranked third in the Summit League in rebounding from his point guard position a year ago (8.1/g) and led the league in assists (4.8/g)
• Rosga was tied for sixth in the league in scoring (16.1 ppg) last year and was the top free throw shooter with a 90.1 percent clip from the charity stripe. He can also light it up from distance and is the top returning 3-point shooter in the league after knocking down 44 percent of his tries in 2017-18
• SDSU guard David Jenkins, Jr., was named the Freshman of the Year and to the All-Newcomer Team after averaging 16.1 ppg in only 22 starts as a rookie
• South Dakota forward Trey Burch-Manning is one of the top returning rebounders in the league (6.7 rpg; t6th) and joined Daum as the only Summit League players to start 35 games in 2017-18
• Omaha's Zach Jackson was the Mavs top scorer (17.6 ppg) and top 3-pointer shooter (42.9 percent) a year ago as a junior while earning a spot on the All-Summit League Second Team
• Defensive Player of the Year Brandon Gilbeck returns after leading the league and ranking 14th in the NCAA with 2.6 blocks per game a year ago. Gilbeck has 177 career blocks to his credit – a total that already ranks fifth all-time in The Summit League Record Book
• Western Illinois guard Kobe Webster averaged 15.9 ppg during his first collegiate season, which was second among league rookies (trailing only Jenkins, Jr.)
• NDSU guard Tyson Ward averaged 11.8 ppg as a sophomore and will look to take over as the team's top scorer after the graduation of All-Summit League First Teamer Paul Miller (19.5 ppg; 3rd)
• Burch Manning's frontcourt mate Tyler Hagedorn turned in a solid junior campaign that saw him average a career-best 13.0 ppg. He also added 0.8 bpg, which tied for fourth best in the league
• Oral Roberts forward Emmanuel Nzekwesi is the Golden Eagles' top returning scorer (12.7 ppg) and rebounder (7.2 rpg) and he also blocked 0.7 shots per game. He'll have to help fill the void by the departures of Transfer of the Year Austin Ruder and Sixth Man of the Year Albert Owens
• North Dakota joins The Summit League after a six-year run as a Big Sky member. The Fighting Hawks won the league's regular season and tournament titles in 2016-17
• The Hawks will be led by the senior duo of Cortez Seales (10.7 ppg) and Conner Avants (career-best 11.6 ppg in 2017-18), who have both played significant roles over the past three seasons. Seales was the Reserve of the Year in the Big Sky during the team's March Madness run of two seasons ago and Avants will embark on his third season as a starting post player for Jones, who enters his 12th season at the helm of UND

Spellbound: Paintings of Entanglement
OPENING RECEPTION: September 24: 2 – 5 PM
Join us IN-PERSON for the Opening Reception at the Leslie Grove Gallery. COVID-19 Protocols: following provincial and city guidelines
SOLO SHOW: Paintings by Joanna Strong
ABOUT SPELLBOUND:
An exhibition exploring entanglement and connection, in which objects are seen as magical artifacts and transcendent worlds.
Medium: In these Entanglement paintings, elastic bands from a myriad of sources are entwined to portray mysterious worlds, metaphors for our layered experiences, and for resilience, tension, and complexity.
The Net Project expands this view of material as allegory into the three-dimensional world and is inspired by the handmade fishing nets created by my Newfoundland ancestors. This net of connection has grown through generous contributions of recycled material. In this iteration of the Net project, paintings of emblematic objects are caught and held by the Net.
This exhibition will be a concluding chapter of the Entanglement series, which was launched in a 2008 solo exhibition also at the Artist's Network.
Currently based in Toronto, Joanna Strong grew up in St. John's, Nfld. She holds a BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design and an MFA from the University of Waterloo. Her paintings have been shown in over 100 exhibitions and are in many Canadian and international collections.

If you get an unexpected pop-up, call, spam email or other urgent message about problems with your computer, stop. Don't click on any links, don't give control of your computer and don't send any money or gift cards.
If you paid for tech support services, and you later get a call about a refund, that call is probably also a scam. Don't give the person any personal or financial information.
The refund scam works like this: Several months after a purchase, someone calls to ask if you were happy with the service. If you say "No", the scammer offers a refund. Or, the caller says the company is going out of business and giving refunds. The scammer eventually asks for your bank or credit card account number, or asks for access to your bank account to make a deposit. But instead of putting money in your account, the scammer takes money from your account.
Be careful with obituaries – scammers are watching them.
Publicly sharing personal information is risky enough in everyday life. It gets worse in death. It's never wise to let strangers know your name, address, birth date, birthplace, family members' names or even hobbies, whether you post the info on social media, take surveys or fill out product registration forms. But obituaries can take the risk to a whole new level. When published in newspapers and websites, they can spoon-feed scammers the precise nuggets they need.
When it's time to write the notice, give the deceased's age but leave out the birth date, middle name, home address, birthplace and mother's maiden name. Don't even include the names of family survivors. This last advice will be hard to follow, but otherwise you put family members at risk of scams like these.
So spare the details in an obit. And quickly send requests to each of the major credit-reporting bureaus—Equifax, Experian and TransUnion—to flag the person's account as "deceased." This permanently stops new credit from being issued in the person's name. You'll need a certified copy of the death certificate, proof that you are the executor or spouse and other details about the deceased.
You should also notify the Social Security Administration (800-772-1213), the IRS, banks, insurers, brokerages, credit card issuers and mortgage companies, in case scammers approach them. Also, close down accounts on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Scammers use names published in obits to pose as grandchildren of the deceased, calling grieving survivors with sob stories about being mugged or arrested and needing money. Research shows that with any scam, your vulnerability is highest in the three years after a major stress. Obits are pure gold for scammers, who can target grieving spouses immediately following the death and seem credible by citing names.
In the early days of this now-widespread scam, AARP's West Virginia chapter discovered its magnitude by interviewing recent scam victims and finding a common thread: All reported having had a recent death in the family, and all had published obituaries listing the names of the grandchildren.
Crooks often call spouses, children or siblings to make a claim that survivors must repay the deceased's debts. Not true. Unless you cosigned the obligation or are otherwise legally responsible, debts are paid from the estate—not from the pockets of relatives. Anyone saying otherwise is deceiving the grieving for a quick buck.
In another name-dropper, self-described insurance agents and attorneys get in touch with survivors to claim the departed took out a huge (but often "secret") life insurance policy. But before benefits can be collected, a final premium (or taxes, handling fees, etc.) must be paid. Legit insurance companies don't request upfront fees by wire transfer or prepaid debit card.
If the deceased's address and the time of the memorial service are in the obit, burglars know when to strike the unoccupied home, as well as those of neighbors paying respects. Leave the home address out and have a friend or neighbor forgo the funeral to keep watch.
If you gave a scammer your information, go to gov. You'll learn what to do if the scammer made charges on your accounts.
How it works: A fraudster obtains a phone number that is slightly different from a valid card activation phone number in hopes the cardholder who is activating a new card will misdial the number. They proceed to tell the caller the voice response system is down and that is why they are speaking to a live person. The fraudster asks the cardholder for personal information, such as card number, expiration date, account number and Social Security number. The fraudster may even attempt to sell the cardholder gift cards.
Just a reminder, when calling the 800 number to activate a debit card, you will NEVER speak to a live person.
A second reminder, when SHAZAM reaches out to a cardholder to verify transactions, they NEVER ask for card number or any personal information.
It's important to know that iTunes Gift Cards can be used ONLY to purchase goods and services on the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or for an Apple Music membership. If you're approached to use the cards for payment outside of the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Apple Music, you could very likely be the target of a scam and should immediately report it to your local police department as well as the FTC.
Please do not ever provide the numbers on the back of the card to someone you do not know. Once those numbers are provided to the scammers, the funds on the card will likely be spent before you are able to contact Apple or law enforcement.
If you are NOT purchasing an item from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or an Apple Music membership, do NOT make a payment with iTunes Gift Cards. There's no other instance in which you'll be asked to make a payment with an iTunes Gift Card.
Immediately report potential scams to your local police department as well as the FTC (ftccomplaintassistant.gov).
If you have additional questions, or if you've been a victim of a scam involving iTunes Gift Cards, you can call Apple at 800-275-2273 (U.S.) or contact Apple Support online.
They're at it again… tax scammers scheming new ways to steal personal information and money. This FTC article explains tax scam scenarios and how you can avoid them.
If you're thinking about giving to a charity, do your research to avoid fraudsters who try to take advantage of your generosity. Here are tips to help make sure that your charitable contributions actually go to the cause you support.
Ask how much of your donation will go to the charity and other detailed questions, including whether the organization is registered and how much of your donation will be used to pay fundraising costs. Solicitors must give you this information if you ask.
Do not pay in cash. For security and tax record purposes, pay by check, credit card or a format of payment in which you have a record. Be sure to write the full official name of the charity on your check – do not abbreviate.
Request written information. A legitimate charity will provide you with information outlining its mission, how your donation will be distributed and proof that your contribution is tax deductible.
Do not donate if the solicitor uses high-pressure tactics, asks for payment in cash or insists on sending someone to pick up your monetary/financial contribution. These are all hallmarks of a scam.
If you receive an email or text message asking for a donation, confirm that the request is from the charity, and not an impostor, by contacting the charity or visiting its website.
Be cautious of "look-alike" websites. These fraudulent websites will often ask for personal financial information and may download harmful malware onto your computer.
Don't assume that charity recommendations on Facebook or social media are legitimate and have already been scrutinized. Research the charity yourself.
On January 19, 2017, Western Union agreed to forfeit $586 million and entered into agreements with the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission. In its agreement with the Justice Department, Western Union admitted that it violated U.S. laws—The Bank Secrecy Act and anti-fraud statutes—by processing hundreds of thousands of transactions for Western Union agents and others involved in an international consumer fraud scheme. As part of the scheme, fraudsters contacted victims and falsely posed as family members in need or promised prizes or job opportunities. The fraudsters directed the victims to send money through Western Union to help their relative or claim their prize.
If you believe you were a victim of the fraud described above and you made a wire transfer through Western Union between January 1, 2004 and January 19, 2017, you may be eligible for remission. Please visit http://www.westernunionremission.com/ for more information.

Following this unprecedented breach, we are also asking our customers to be extra vigilant and report any suspicious activity in your Buena Vista National Bank accounts to by calling your local branch.

No final decision on diaspora ban
The Government says a final decision has not yet been taken on lifting the ban on some diaspora groups or individuals listed by the former Government. Deputy Foreign Minister Ajith Perera said that the issue is sensitive and needs to be dealt with carefully and will also need the support of Parliament. Earlier this month the Government said it will review the ban on some diaspora groups and individuals as there is no tangible evidence to link them to the LTTE.
