Something came in the mail for us today!!
Well, Mummy decided to create some tags from her favourite Dog Tag Art (it's based in USA, but shipping here is a flat rate!) for us.
Actually, it was meant for Pecan, but I just hitched a ride and got some good out of it too!
Haha, kinda obvious which belongs to who right?
For ah-ma, Mummy chose existing designs that suited her personality!
For me, Mummy decided to customise one using my very own portrait!
The foxy ah-ma posing with her new tag.
I'm showing off mine too!!
Nice as they are, they ain't the cheapest tags around. Hence, Mummy spent a little more money to invest in a protective rubber rim that helps prevent the tag from getting scratched around the edges. Best of all, the cushion also acts as a silencer. Hence, if you have multiple tags on your collar, you won't be haunted by the chinking sound!
Glad you liked them!! They are pretty awesome!

Firebrand politician Tundu Lissu arrived in Tanzania on Wednesday after living in exile for six years. But where did all this start?
Lukelo Francis25 January 20237 min
Dar es Salaam. Tundu Lissu, the firebrand opposition politician forced into exile six years ago, has finally returned to Tanzania, receiving a warm welcome from his supporters and well-wishers, putting years of speculation on when exactly will the politician kiss his land of birth to an end.
The following is a timeline of key events leading to today's development that some observers of Tanzania's affairs have described as the beginning of a new epoch in the life of Mr Lissu who lost to the late John Magufuli in the 2020 presidential election.
September 7, 2017: Lissu escapes an assassination attempt that involved unknown gunmen firing dozen of bullets into his car while on his way to his home in Area D, in the capital Dodoma, leaving him seriously injured. At the time of the shooting, Mr Lissu was serving as Singida East MP (CHADEMA) and he had just left the parliamentary premises.

September 8, 2017: Amid panic and disbelief, Lissu is airlifted to the Nairobi Hospital in neighbouring Kenya with his party and family thinking that it'd be safer for the politician to be treated outside the country.
October 5, 2017: Lissu's family pleads with the government to fast-track an investigation into the heinous crime against their loved one, suggesting the invitation of international investigators who would help to carry out the exercise faster and bring the perpetrators to justice.
November 28, 2017: Samia Suluhu Hassan, then Vice President, becomes the senior Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) and government official to visit Mr Lissu at the Nairobi Hospital, Kenya. Samia, now President of Tanzania, headed to the hospital shortly after she attended then Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta's inauguration.
January 6, 2018: Mr Lissu, who was serving as the president of the Tanganyika Law Society (TLS), is flown to Brussels, the capital of Belgium, for further treatment. Lissu left the Nairobi Hospital at around 8:30 AM accompanied by his wife, Alicia Magabe.
February 6, 2019: Facing pressure to give updates on the investigation into Lissu's assassination attempt, then-Minister of Home Affairs Kangi Lugola told the parliament that the case has been dismissed, citing the lack of cooperation from Mr Lissu and the person who was driving him when the shooting happened.
June 28, 2019: In a surprise announcement, then-Speaker of Parliament Job Ndugai strips Mr Lissu of his parliamentary seat, citing poor attendance. Ndugai also claimed that he had no information of what Mr Lissu was up to. Ndugai also said that Mr Lissu failed to file wealth declaration forms with the National Assembly.
December 19, 2019: Freeman Mbowe is elected CHADEMA national chairperson by the party's congress, garnering 93.5 per cent of all votes cast. At the same congress, Lissu is elected the party's deputy national chairperson (Tanzania Mainland) with 98.8 per cent of all votes cast.
June 8, 2020: Lissu announces his intention to run for presidency under the ticket of his party CHADEMA, criticising the then administration of John Magufuli which he said has caused Tanzania numerous crises, including massive poverty among Tanzanians and authoritarianism.
July 27, 2020: Lissu arrives in Tanzania ready to take on Magufuli in the general election slated for October of that year.
August 8, 2020: CHADEMA approves Mr Lissu as its presidential candidate in the October 2020 general election, garnering 405 votes (91 per cent) of all votes cast, 442, defeating his sole opponent Dr Maryrose Majige.

October 29, 2020: Lissu announces that he will not recognize the election results, claiming that the election was not free and fair. Lissu called on Tanzanians to also reject the election results going as far as calling on street demonstrations.

Hi! I'm so excited to announce my newest release, Naturally Enchanted, coming out on May 25th! Bewitched meets Practical Magic in this story that was so much fun and overdue for me to write. Ever since I was a little girl, I have been in awe of witches. The good ones, of course 😉 After all, I believe there is a bit of magic in all of us. When I first started writing romance, I knew it would only be a matter of time before I'd write a witchy book.
Soul mates collide. An evil lurks. Time to accept who she is before it's too late.
Island herbalist, Ezra Ravenhart has lived with the rumors of her family's witchcraft her whole life. She'll admit, her grana's a little… eccentric, but not a witch. It isn't until she finds herself love struck that she holds any truth to the accusations. All Ezra ever wanted was to feel the magic of love, but a man had yet to give her that mystical feeling. No man except handsome Owen Cooper, the big lying jerk from Chicago.
Owen is a struggling journalist trying to make a name for himself. When he hears about a real life witch living on Mango Cove Island, it may just be the story of a lifetime he's after. The island can be a dangerous place for outsiders, so after Owen gets hurt, Ezra may be the only person that can heal him. Undercover as a ship-wrecked tourist, he finds that witch or not, Ezra has him under her spell.
Please be sure to mark Naturally Enchanted to read on Goodreads!

NHS commissioners in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge exit financial special measures
GPs in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge have praised the strength of the partnership between local health and social care organisations after it was confirmed that financial directions imposed on the boroughs' NHS commissioners had been lifted.
Financial special measures were imposed on NHS Barking and Dagenham, NHS Havering and NHS Redbridge clinical commissioning groups (BHR CCGs) in March 2017.
These have now been lifted by the CCGs' regulator NHS England/Improvement.
The news has been welcomed by Dr Jagan John, Chair of NHS Barking and Dagenham CCG, Dr Atul Aggarwal, Chair of NHS Havering CCG, and Dr Anil Mehta, Chair of NHS Redbridge CCG.
In a joint statement they said: "We're pleased that the sustained efforts of our staff, GPs and practice teams have resulted in us making significant improvements which NHS England/Improvement has now recognised. This result is testament to their commitment and hard work.
"This progress would not have been possible without the input and support of our local partners in health and social care across the three boroughs.
"Since March 2017 we've strengthened our financial governance, delivered a challenging programme of savings and agreed a financial recovery plan with our NHS provider colleagues which aims to bring the BHR system into financial balance and transform services for local people.
"While we're pleased that our progress has been recognised, we know that there is still much to do if we are to deliver against our recovery plan.
"Our efforts are now focused on medium and longer term transformation of care. We know that we need to invest to prevent people becoming unwell and to ensure that people are treated in the right place, by the most appropriate person.
"Transformation boards, working across BHR and involving all partners, are key to achieving better health outcomes for local people. We are already making great progress together.
Jane Milligan, Accountable Officer of the three CCGs, said:
"This is excellent news and I'm really pleased for everyone involved as I know how hard they have all worked to make this happen. The progress we have made in BHR has been down to greater collaboration between partners, strong local leadership and a collective focus on making real and sustainable improvements for the people we serve.
"We recognise there are still areas that need further improvement but we are now in a much better position to focus on them and continue to build on the positive work we've achieved.
"I'd like to thank the CCGs' managing director Ceri Jacob and her senior management team, our clinical chairs, our GP member colleagues across BHR and all of our CCG staff who have worked tirelessly in difficult circumstances to deliver this outcome."

A QDRO allows a former spouse to receive a predefined amount of their spouse's retirement plan assets. For example, a QDRO might pay out 50% of the account's value that has grown during the marriage.

I was like, "hey, girl, can I get your number"
'Cause I couldn't stop thinkin' 'bout you.
I'm sittin' here in the sun with you on my mind.
Kissin' on you while the ocean rocked.
And we couldn't get enough.
Baby, I could reminisce forever.
Now, I'm here and I can't stop thinkin' 'bout you.


the user research method proposed by Cooper design agency.
You may wonder why I chose to discuss this particular method.
possible to catch a user during the time of interaction with a mobile app.
The interviewer leads the conversation by asking questions.
The interviewee takes time to respond and sometimes asks for clarifications.
like job interviews, user research interviews are a kind of non-directive interviews.
which she asks them from their interviewee's point of view.
Skype or any other video conferencing software.
All these options have their pros and cons.
but also because of clues from the environments in which the interactions occur.
of physical presence and restrictions that it imposes on communication.
Lab interviews are somewhere in the middle.
On the other hand, field interviews are more resource-consuming due to logistic issues.
interviews where participants come to you or nobody goes nowhere.
also referred to as in-depth interviews.
beforehand and the sequence of the questions is fixed.
An interviewer is not allowed to deviate from this sequence.
like the completion of a questionnaire read out loud.
This type of interview is not applicable in our practice.
Semi-structured interviews are conducted on the basis of a loose structure.
An interviewer follows a topic guide that consists of open-ended questions.
additional questions according to the course of the conversation.
In-depth interviews go even further.
a topic guide may not be used or may just have a few broad questions on it.
the course of the conversation and the choice of the following questions.
may allow you to overcome their shortcomings as individual entities.
Make your research questions rule a ball.
Cooper's Ethnographic interviews are a very successful example of such a mixture.

The reason for this is quite clear.

contextual inquiry and usually last no more than an hour and a half.
So, you do not have enough time to explore the usage of a particular app in depth.
but they are not in focus.
like to point out here is sample size.
about five participants per user group for enterprise domain.
But of course, it's just an estimation.
wrong and you need to increase the number of participants for some groups.
Consumer products typically have much more variation in user behavior.
Therefore, it a good idea to recruit more participants per group.
To sum up, ethnographic interviews combine such methods as interviews and field visits.
the usage context of consumer and enterprise mobile apps.
the app's subject domain and investigate user needs.
pure field visits and provide more diverse data than pure interviews.
so no quantitative data at all.
Thank you. See in the next lecture.

7 Minutes More: An Interview with So Hideous
By W.
I was so impressed with So Hideous's new album Laurestine that I ran down an interview with guitarist/founder Brandon Cruz. We talked art, films, and genre norms. Press play on Laurestine and check out Cruz's answers below.
W.: First off, I'd like to say thanks for taking the time to answer these questions. I was really looking forward to hearing Laurestine after being absolutely blown away in 2013 when you first dropped Last Poem/First Light, but you really seem to have fleshed out your sound on Laurestine. Did something change in your writing process?
BC: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk about these things! We haven't really altered much in regards to the writing processes in all four of our releases. I think with time and effort your confidence and hopefully the quality of the output increases. A major difference on this outing in comparison to the previous ones was the understanding in the band of the logistical issues of time and finance in working toward this goal, especially in using a larger orchestra. Every previous record ran out of time and money and we planned very meticulously to thankfully avoid that this time.
I read that you compose all of your songs first on piano before adding orchestrations and then finally the metal elements. To my ears, this lends your band a very different sound than most "orchestral" metal bands in that every element sounds like its working as a part of a whole rather than a silly key flourish here or there. Do you think you'll ever stray away from adding metal
elements?
Agreed and thank you. We try to foster a space where both experiences of So Hideous (as a four piece or large orchestral ensemble) can in turn create similar emotional experiences and not simply be "guitar band overdubs a few long bows here and there…" but the shit doesn't sync. I can absolutely see us straying from adding the "metal" elements insofar as the inclusion of them in our music is not really a big priority anyway. We still love the sound of us playing abrasive things together but we simply write what we enjoy listening to/playing at the time. For me there haven't been very many metal records in recent years that I've revisited with the same passion as other things so in writing future albums it would be disingenuous just to add rock and roll movements or have a "riff quota" simply out of some fear that not including them would be injurious to our "brand". We do what serves the songs and if that's distortion and pounding drums on some movements then cool, but we're not beholden to any idea of what this band "needs" to be.
You've said that you write music that is supposed to be cinematic and that Ennio Morricone is one of your favorite film score composers. I have two questions related to that. Who are your favorite current film score composers? Were you blown away by any recent film scores?
For the grand scale films Hans Zimmer and his team are still the pinnacle. That C major chord on the ninety year old organ they used for Interstellar encapsulated every single thing about the vastness and wonder of the unknown they were trying to communicate. For a completely different hue, the brilliant and insanely prolific Max Richter is bringing an intimacy to film and television scores that I'm not accustomed to in major productions. His work on Waltz With Bashir is very minimal and haunting. The work of the late James Horner was a massive presence in my formative years, our songs "Relinquish"and "The True Pierce" probably wouldn't exist without the Braveheart soundtrack.
Laurestine has an intriguing concept about experiencing the afterlife. The number 7 is a constant motif that recurs throughout the album. Could you expand on that theme and how the number 7 runs throughout it? Is that particular number choice a Biblical allusion, or does it just refer to the idea that we have seven minutes of active brain function when we pass?
The album's concept spring boarded from the research on the 7 minutes of brain activity after death. The record starts with an arrhythmic heartbeat slowing and the idea was that after it stops our protagonist would find himself in some foreign sensory landscape where memory and dreams collide into this disorienting, time dilated journey to the endgame wherein both the flower and woman, named Laurestine would function as a sort of guide and goad for him to finish it. There are 7 tracks and we've liberally applied some odd metered changes of 7/4 and 7/8 to function as a reminder to him that the world he inhabits is both super sensory and unstable…this dream is collapsing so keep moving guy. Then in doing more research you find all the interesting and peculiar associations the number 7 has and lyrically it was really fun to play around with those themes.
If you could get any producer/director to make a film based on the score of Laurestine, who would it be?
Michael Bay. We'd be rich. But if he's not available then Terrence Malick. Our aesthetic is deeply influenced by The Tree Of Life and The Thin Red Line.
You've said in the past that you'd like to try to tour with some version of The First Light Orchestra at some point. Any plans to make that happen?
Special one off shows are more likely… There are always "plans" to make a tour happen but securing the tens of thousands of dollars necessary to bring something of that scale to fruition on a nightly basis for a jaunt that could reach the majority of our listeners is an uphill one…probably why we need Michael Bay.
I was watching updates from your tour with Set and Setting. How was it playing with, in my mind, a band of similar scope and vision?
That was a fun one. The audience for that type of tour understands there will be changes in the dynamics during the set. People aren't yelling over the quieter parts waiting for the "METAL" thus invalidating half the set. Ultimately, playing with bands like Set and Setting and InAeona was great both stylistically and personally; nice people.
How has it been working with Prosthetic?
Like with any business relationship theres push and pull from both sides but we're happy to have the platform and team in place to ensure that Laurestine will have the best possible chance to reach the largest possible audience.
In the past, you've often been compared to other bands in the so-called "post-black metal" scene. I've thought of you as something apart from that genre, but have those comparisons made it more difficult for you to break into the often exclusivist and close-minded black-metal underground?
This is an odd one that we've been navigating for quite some time. Even a cursory glance at the majority of the critical review of our work up to this point rarely has any in depth analysis of the material in musical, visual or emotional terms and is primarily focused on what sub category we should be labelled as or what bands we should be mentioned alongside as per what's relevant to the zeitgeist. When we started in 2008 it was "sounds like <insert era post metal band> with black metal" cause the post metal thing was happening, then in 2011 we released our second ep it was "sounds like <insert screamo band> and <insert atmospheric metal band> mixed" cause both the new "wave" of screamo and cascadian black metal had it big that year. Meanwhile none of those associated acts were particularly influential to So Hideous and there was nary a mention of MONO, Envy or Heaven in Her Arms, who were huge for our sound, till we started giving interviews on the subject. Today it's this "blackgaze" buzzword nonsense and all the associated bands when in actuality we've been chugging along for years honing this sound. I suppose these comparisons are great for the advertisers/PR and if that results in increased awareness of our material than so be it but the truth is we've been operating for nearly 8 years on our own volition outside of any formal or informal music "scene" and only care to continue doing as we please for as long as we please.
Could you tell me a little about your [Chris Cruz's] vocal approach for the album? Despite the fact that you're screaming, there's an almost melodic approach that always seems to fit with the more delicate and artistic elements of your music.
So awesome that you picked that up! When Chris and I work to put the lyrics and vocals to the music we usually communicate in both melodic and rhythmic phrasing so even though he's belting it out, and I mean really belting it and giving the future of his vocal chords to us in the booth, we've worked it out together beforehand literally in terms of "La, LAAAA, La_breathe____ la" and we fit our lyrics to the particular phrasing the song calls for.
On that note, I think your artistry is what really sets your band apart from your contemporaries. Do you think there's a place for art in heavy metal? Are metal fans receptive to more artistic endeavors? Do you think there are any other specific metal bands approaching the genre similarly to you?
Thank you very much. I think there's a place for "art" with any audience that is willing to do away with any preconceived notions about what "art" entails. We were listening to a lot of Future, particularly DS2 on tour and people would make easy assumptions on it's validity as "art" based on genre or subject matter, which is absurd. The raw expression is there. The sonic imagination is there. As far as metal listeners are concerned, they're no strangers to the concept record, extravagant staging or theatricality. I do think there still is an inherent distrust that some people in that community have if a band is outright swinging for the fences or perhaps a certain level of perceived ambition is still met with some derision if it is not very easily stratified but if it's genuine and the application serves the "art" then I don't really see what the fuck the big deal is…? Not really metal, but I've always felt a kinship with MONO, musically they were my "teachers" as a kid learning how to play guitar and an album like Hymn To The Immortal Wind painted pictures so vivid and sounded every bit like the concepts they wanted to explore. I also very much respect composer Olafur Arnalds and his ability to straddle the worlds of modern minimalism, classical and electronic music pretty much on the same track…dude is nasty.
Are there any works of art or literature that have influenced your approach to music?
We talked a lot about Caravaggio's works, the composition, use of light/shadow and how they say a lot without being overtly complex or having excessive figures. I have to mention Terrence Malick again, seriously go see The Tree Of Life. Lyrically, Matsuo Basho and Natsume Soseki depict imagery and mystery in prose that completely nailed everything we were looking for stylistically. We started with the Basho worship on To Clasp A Fallen Wish With Broken Fingers, but I think it's hit the peak on this one here and we may have to start paying his estate royalties…
What conceptual themes would you like to explore in the future?
Enough with death. Birth, life, rhythm and dancing on the next one…and ok…maybe some death to keep it all in perspective.
Anything else you'd like to share? Thanks so much for your time!
Firstly, I have to thank you for the diverse and insightful questions. This was a pleasure. I'd also like to thank all of our listeners and the readers of Toilet Ov Hell. We worked veryhard on Laurestine and are happy to have the opportunity to finally be sharing it with others.
Be sure to follow So Hideous on Facebook and check out the album on Bandcamp.

You patiently listened and understood our needs in order to efficiently find high quality candidates for us. You attained offers and acceptances in a timely manner for all the candidates we chose. You successfully met aggressive deadlines in delivering outstanding Accounting Management and staff accountants. You demonstrated genuine understanding of the attributes of good candidates and how to present them, and your follow up skills were very thorough. I also appreciated your screening process, immediate follow-ups, reference checking and consultative advice throughout the process. I look forward to working with you on future search assignments and will be happy to refer you to any professionals that could benefit from your service."
"I highly recommend Warren Deutsch and Advance Resources. I have known Warren for over 15 years. He has successfully placed several candidates with Superfici America over the last ten years in accounting, marketing, sales, operations and administration. Additionally, years ago he placed me as an Accounting Manager!
Warren is smart, positive, persistent and flexible. He takes the time and has the talent to fully understand our business and our hiring needs. He then delivers well-screened, on-target, hirable candidates quickly. He pre-closes candidates ensuring prompt acceptances, which accelerates the process. I highly recommend the services of his firm."
David Schurr - Superfici America, Inc.
"I have known Warren for over 10 years. He has been a true partner and does a superb job in recruiting for us. He is fast and always goes the extra mile in placements. He listens well to our needs, and has a unique ability to quickly find us several spot-on matches, thus efficiently and promptly filling our critical needs with excellent candidates he placed, both in the Information Technology and Accounting job functions in multiple locations. I highly recommend his professional services."
"Warren is one of those few people that you can trust. His approach is open and receptive. His work is steady and reliable. Best of all, he talks to you straight. I've been around a lot of recruiters. Warren is one of the good guys. If you are an accounting, finance or IT professional, I heartily recommend him."
"I have known Warren for over ten years, and he was an outstanding recruiter for Pillowtex in terms of his resourcefulness in landing the right candidates for several of the company's key Finance positions. Also, he was instrumental in counseling and supporting so many Pillowtex Finance employees who were dealing with the difficulties of the company's bankruptcy and proactively assisting them land jobs subsequent to the bankruptcy. His tireless dedication, commitment and encouragement to others during this time, including his willingness to be onsite with employees in group sessions, will always be warmly remembered."
"Warren did an excellent job in sourcing good candidates for me on several occasions. Warren listens for underlying needs, and for what really matters to the client. Warren successfully helped me staff a new department of six analysts in just over six months, and also assisted with other hires. Warren shows the highest of integrity in his business dealings, and will reward your trust in his capabilities with outstanding candidates."
"What I liked about Warren Deutsch and Advance Resources is Warren actually went out and recruited the specialized skill set I needed. All the other recruiters I've dealt with just send resumes they already have. Warren actually did the work. I was very satisfied with the result. Using Warren we hired exactly what we were looking for."
"We used Warren Deutsch for our specialized recruiting needs in the Audit Department of our company. We were more than satisfied with his results and hired several of his candidates over several years. Warren consistently delivered top candidates for us. He is an experienced search guy and what I liked the best was the ease of doing business with him. He listens well, knew our business and delivered pinpoint candidates. Of special note was the forensics audit specialist he recruited for us. This was a hard to find skill and he delivered a rising superstar out of public accounting very quickly. Warren was always personable to work with. There were never any surprises. The information he supplied was always dead-on. The candidates he said would accept offers did accept our offers and have worked out very nicely. I strongly recommend Warren and his demonstrated capabilities."
"Warren is a talented recruiter. His success is enabled by his long-term investment in relationships. Warren take the time to understand people's personal and professional goals, and is able to facilitate connections quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend Warren to any person or company seeking finance/accounting/tax talent."
"I have utilized Warren to assist in the staffing of my Internal Audit department while Director of Internal Audit for Wellmen Inc. Warren listened to my needs and requirements and provided numerous candidates, all of whom were professional and well skilled based on my needs. I have utilized many search resources during my professional career. I am pleased to say I would utilize Warren in future searches as he is professional, open and listens and understands your needs. Many firms will just send an endless stream of candidate resumes many of which have none or little of the qualifications required. Warren performed the screening for me and provided all quality candidates."
Ken Jackobel - Wellman Inc.
"Warren is a very proactive and forward thinking talent resource professional. I had the privilege to work with Warren for over 3 years while at Delhaize Group and Warren always provided us with top notch talent. Warren always went the extra mile to present talent that was a good fit professionally and personality-wise for our team. I highly recommend Warren for all accounting or audit professional staffing needs."
"I have worked with Warren Deutsch for several years. While I was audit director at a previous employer, Warren recruited several auditors for me. Warren listened well when I communicated the openings and quickly presented several well-qualified candidates.He was excellent in supplying pertinent information to assist my hiring decisions and securing the candidates I chose. Later, after my employer ceased operations in Charlotte, Warren as President of Advance Resources found an ideal opportunity for me as a Plant Controller for a company near my hometown in Pennsylvania. Again, Warren listened attentively to my priorities and consistently communicated relevant information. He assisted me throughout the hiring process by explaining and preparing me for every step along the way. I consider Warren an outstanding recruiter who takes into consideration all parties, creating win/win situations for all."
"Warren has a knack for finding the right person for the job. We are still using his temporary to assist our closing process."
Bob Dickens - The Language Academy of the Carolinas, Inc.
"Even though I don't work in the Finance and Accounting fields, Warren was very helpful to me in my most recent job search. Warren was able to review my resume and made several valuable suggestions that helped me to much better define my achievements. Warren also helped me prepare for an important interview, which thanks to his help, I nailed! Warren's help in defining my overall job search strategy, along with resume review and interview preparation, propelled me to success and was critical in helping me to land a position as a Senior Unix Administrator with the World's largest consumer electronics company. I highly recommend Warren and the services he provides through Advance Resources."
Thomas Bernard - Apple, Inc.
"Warren has been an excellent encouragement and professional resource during my career search in this season of transition. His insights and perspective on market trends and business conditions were very helpful in helping me to position myself for future success. He is active and out there with his finger on the pulse. I highly recommend his services."
"Warren Deutsch and Advance Resources were very helpful to me in securing my recent position as an Inventory and Parts Manager. Warren was very professional throughout. As a recent veteran of the United States Marines Corps, I was uncertain about the civilian job market. Warren put me at ease, asked thought provoking questions and listened attentively during his interview with me. At his suggestion, I was able to enhance my resume including documenting several awards I had won while with the Marine Corps. He guided me every step of the way through the process. I truly appreciated him "being on my side."


Medicine is probably one of mankind's biggest accomplishments. It can be listed up there with farming, electricity and the microchip as one of the advances that fundamentally changed how people lived, mainly because it gave us power over our own bodies that we had never had before. It might seem counterintuitive to think that medications could ever hurt us, but the reality is that medication misuse and adverse reactions cause more than 700,000 visits to the emergency room each year. A lot of these things could be prevented pretty easily, with careful attention to medication safety. Read on to learn the risk factors and how you can keep your family safe!
The biggest risk factor, hands down, is user error. This includes incorrect dosages, not following doctor's instructions and taking the wrong medication for an ailment. Another risk is medication interactions, which is when substances in the medications you're taking cause adverse reactions when mixed with other medications. You could also be allergic to the medication you're taking. This happens most often with medications for acute illnesses like a bacterial infection, rather than long-term or chronic conditions. Finally, children are often at risk of taking too much of a medication, whether they got into it themselves or their parents accidentally overdosed them.
There are ways to help prevent most of the risks above. First, make sure you read and understand the dosing instructions on every medication label. This will go a long way to preventing accidental errors with dose size or timing. Next, make sure you keep a list of allergies and all medications for every family member with you when you go to the doctor or the pharmacy. This is good to have on hand to prevent adverse interactions or allergic reactions. And always keep medications out of reach of children, and dispose of them when you've finished taking them. Never save a prescription medication "for later," because the medicine could expire or be ineffective the next time around.
With the amount of good medicine can do, it can also do a lot of harm if not taken correctly. We all get sick sometimes, but if you remember these tips, you'll be able to keep your family safe and get them healthy faster! If you have questions about the medicines you're taking or need to be seen fast for an illness, find your local AFC/Doctors Express and pay them a visit!


President Donald Trump's nomination of David Friedman as ambassador to Israel is another example of his appointments of ill-suited individuals to important jobs.
Five former American ambassadors to Israel have signed a letter stating that Friedman is "completely unfit" for the role. Friedman, Trump's bankruptcy lawyer, is poorly suited both because of his lack of experience and his temperament.
Friedman's ill temperament has been widely demonstrated. He has called President Barack Obama and other critics of Israel anti-Semitic. As for liberal Jews who question the Jewish state's actions, Friedman hurls the epithet "kapos," a word used to describe Jews who collaborated with the Nazis in operating the concentration camps. This individual is not ambassadorial material.
As for experience, one experience he does have is undermining both international law and U.S. policy with regard to West Bank settlements. The West Bank is a part of the territory Israel occupied as a result of the 1967 war. It is generally recognized as the site of any future Palestinian state. Yet, the Israelis have unlawfully established so-called "settlements" (actually modern condominium complexes) throughout the West Bank. Today there are more than 200 such settlements with a combined population of 800,000. Settlements dominate the landscape and block Palestinians from reaching their schools, workplaces and families.
The settlements also serve to dominate the region's aquifers. I recently spent two weeks in the areas as a member of an Interfaith Peace Builders delegation. The water-starved Palestinian towns and villages are a stark contrast to the lush settlements.
The settlements, combined with an intricate system of 500 checkpoints, ensure the daily vexation and humiliation of Palestinians. Killings of Palestinians at these checkpoints is a regular occurrence. Make no mistake, Israel's slow strangulation of the Palestinians is ethnic cleansing, pure and simple. In fact, respected lawyer and civil rights activist Stanley L. Cohen, writing for Al Jazeera in a Dec. 26, 2016, opinion piece, characterizes Israel's policies as "slow-motion genocide." How else, Cohen asks, can one describe a regime that has found diverse ways to kill more than 400,000 Palestinian civilians and injure or cripple two to three times as many, including tens of thousands of women and children?
Would-be Ambassador Friedman is a major supporter of these illegal settlements. Specifically, Friedman heads a fundraising organization that has raised tens of millions of dollars for one of the most radical settlements in the West Bank. Friedman cannot possibly play a constructive role in resolving this fundamental issue.
We can only hope Tennessee's senators agree.
John R. Barker is a member of the Tennessee Campaign for Palestinian Rights, has an M.A. from the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce at the University of Kentucky, and is a Knoxville resident.

When individuals need one thing totally different for his or her house, they exert additional effort just to get that decor that they want. Distinctive pieces are necessary to individuals as a result of they want their abode to face out. Nevertheless, it does not essentially imply that being peculiar has to be weird.

Learning & Values Jewish History Biographies In Brief
Jacob of the Bible
By Boruch Altein
Jacob (Yaakov in Hebrew) was the third and final of the Jewish Patriarchs. Jacob lived in the Land of Canaan, Haran, and Egypt. Unlike Abraham and Isaac, Jacob's entire family remained righteous—his 12 sons became the 12 tribes of Israel, the Shevatim.
The Jewish Sages call Jacob the "favorite" of the Patriarchs.1 After Jacob successfully fought off an angel, G‑d named him Israel (Yisrael in Hebrew)—the name that the entire Jewish people became known by as "Bnei Yisrael," the Nation of Israel.
Check out these in-depth summaries of Jacob's life and times.

Three Periods of Jacob's Life
When Jacob's mother, Rebecca, finally conceived after 20 years of marriage,2 her pregnancy was abnormally difficult. She turned to the 550-year-old prophet Shem, Noah's son, for guidance.
He told her that she was expecting twin boys, both destined for greatness. They would vie with each other for supremacy, but eventually, the elder would serve the younger.
The elder twin was reddish-skinned and covered with hair, just like a fully grown person. His parents called him Esau, from the Hebrew word asah, meaning "finished."
The younger one followed close behind holding onto his brother's heel. He was named Jacob, "one who takes by the heel."
Growing up, Esau was cunning and a fierce hunter, a "man of the field." Jacob was straightforward and innocent, a constant resident of the study hall.
Esau used to ask his father all types of religious questions, giving him the impression that he was a moral person. Isaac was convinced, but Rebecca saw through it, and loved Jacob all the more.

Read: The Cosmic Twins
When Jacob and Esau were 15 years old, Abraham passed away. Jacob was cooking a red lentil soup for his bereaved father when his brother Esau arrived. Esau was ravenously hungry—the Midrash explains that he had just committed his first murder—and he demanded that Jacob feed him the soup.3
Jacob insisted that Esau sell him the firstborn rights in exchange for the soup, and Esau happily agreed.
Isaac was getting old. He had just turned 123, his eyesight was suffering, and he felt that he may soon die. Isaac called Esau and told him to go catch wild animals and prepare a good meal for his father to eat. Afterwards, Isaac would bless Esau to fulfill Abraham's destiny.4
Rebecca heard what was going on. She quickly called Jacob, made him disguise himself as Esau, and visit his father to get the blessings before Esau could.
When Esau came back from the hunt, he discovered what happened and told his father. Isaac declared that Jacob's deception was divinely inspired and nothing more could be done, though he blessed Esau in other ways. Esau was furious and decided to kill Jacob when he got a chance.
Rebecca and Isaac commanded Jacob to travel to her brother Laban, in the ancient trading city of Haran (modern day Syria), to find himself a wife and wait for Esau's anger to cool.

Read: What was Isaac really thinking?
Jacob set out for Haran all alone. After an attack by Esau's grandson, he was left penniless too.5 He rested in a field for the night, placing 12 stones around his head for protection.6
Jacob dreamed of a ladder stretching from the ground to the heavens, with angels ascending and descending. As he watched, G‑d promised him three assurances:
The land of Canaan would be given to Jacob's descendants.
Jacob's descendants would be widespread, numerous, and a source of blessing for the whole world.
G‑d would be with Jacob wherever he went and would guard him.
G‑d's promise to Abraham for his children to become G‑d's chosen nation would be fulfilled through Jacob, as well.
When Jacob awoke, the 12 stones around his head had fused into one. He took the stone, poured oil over it as an offering to G‑d, and swore to return to the same spot when he returned safely from Haran, naming the spot Beth E-l, "House of G‑d."
This field would be the eventual location of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

The rabbis explain that Jacob saw four angels ascending the ladder, each one falling to the earth after a specific number of rungs.
These angels each represent one of the four nations who subjected the Jews to exile. G‑d's promise to Jacob to always protect him rings true for every Jew, no matter where we find ourselves.7
Read: The Four Exiles of the Jewish People
In Chassidic thought, the ladder represents prayer, which is our effort to connect ourselves, below, to G‑d above.
Just as a ladder has different rungs, so too prayer is made of four primary stages, each ascending ever higher. This ladder shows us how the most physical planes of existence can be connected with G‑d Himself.
When Jacob first arrived in Haran, he met his cousin Rachel—one of Laban's two daughters (the other being Leah),—at the well with her father's flocks. Laban agreed to shelter him for a month, in exchange for Jacob tending to his flock.8
Jacob and Rachel loved each other, and after a month passed Jacob asked Laban for permission to marry her. Laban agreed, but he stipulated that the marriage take place after Jacob would tend his flocks for seven years.
Jacob put tremendous effort into his work, and through G‑d's blessing, Laban's flocks and family prospered and grew. Though seven years had gone by, Jacob felt like they were a mere few days—so great was his love for Rachel.
Unbeknownst to Jacob, however, Laban was secretly planning on switching Rachel with her sister Leah at the wedding so that Jacob would be forced into working longer for Rachel's hand. The wedding took place at night, and Jacob could not see that it was Leah who was brought to him, not Rachel.
(Knowing Laban's deceitful ways, Rachel and Jacob had prepared for this eventuality by agreeing on secret signs that would signify they were who they said they were. When Rachel realized how embarrassed Leah would be when Jacob discovered the deception, however, she told Leah the signs.)
When morning came, Jacob confronted Laban. Laban replied that in Haran, the eldest daughter must get married first. If Jacob still wanted to marry Rachel, he could do so in a week's time—but he must then tend Laban's flocks for another seven years.
Following the second round of seven years, Jacob and Laban agreed that Jacob would now work for a share of the newly born animals, with different agreements covering speckled, spotted, striped and brown sheep. This went on for six years, until G‑d told Jacob that it was time to return home.
Laban would routinely switch the agreement when he felt that Jacob was getting too many animals, but with G‑d's help, Jacob became immensely wealthy.9

Jacob's family became the nucleus of the Jewish nation. In all, Jacob had (at least) 12 sons and one daughter.10
Leah's children were Reuben, Simon, Levi, Judah. After a pause, she also gave birth to Zebulun, Issachar, and her daughter Dinah.
For many years, Rachel did not get pregnant. She asked Jacob to marry her handmaiden, Bilhah, as a proxy for herself. Bilhah bore Jacob two sons, Dan and Naphtali.
After Judah was born, Leah too went for a period of time without getting pregnant. She asked Jacob to marry her handmaiden, Zilpah, who gave birth to Gad and Asher.
Following seven years of marriage, Rachel finally gave birth to a son, who she named Joseph—meaning "to give in addition"—as she prayed for yet another son. Some 8 years later, Rachel gave birth to the last of Jacob's children, Benjamin (more on that later).11

After 20 years in Haran, G‑d told Jacob it was time to return home. Jacob consulted with his wives and received their unanimous consent to leave their inhospitable and thieving father. They secretly gathered the family and property and set out to the land of Canaan.12
Unbeknownst to anyone, Rachel had stolen her father's collection of idols before their departure (she hoped to wean her father off idol worship).
When Laban realized, he gathered a posse and set off in hot pursuit. They soon caught up to Jacob's slow-moving camp near Mount Gilead.
That night, G‑d appeared to Laban and warned him not to harm Jacob in any way.
When morning came, Laban confronted Jacob and his daughters, issuing a veiled threat that he would have caused Jacob grievous harm if not for G‑d appearing to him the night before. He then demanded to know why Jacob had stolen his idols.
Jacob had no idea that the idols were stolen, and he responded by reiterating how he had given 20 years of time to watch Laban's flocks with total devotion, accepting responsibility for any losses incurred. How could he have stolen anything from Laban?!
Jacob even cursed the one who had stolen the idols with death—not knowing it was his own beloved wife. The Talmud says that this curse contributed to Rachel's untimely death.
Before going their separate ways, Jacob and Laban made a covenant never to pass the spot they stood with intent to harm one another. They gathered a pile of stones as a symbol of the treaty, calling it gal eid, "the witness heap."
When Jacob neared the land of Canaan, he sent messengers of peace to Esau. The messengers returned with the news that Esau had gathered 400 fighters and was on his way to attack.13
Jacob was shaken. He prepared for Esau's arrival in 3 ways:
He prepared for battle, dividing his camp into two so that the one group would escape if the other was attacked.
He sent a large amount of livestock and servants to Esau as tribute.
He turned to G‑d with humble, heartfelt prayer.

That night, Jacob took his family across the Yabbok river. After everyone had passed, Jacob returned to the other side to collect a few small jugs that had been left behind. Suddenly, an unidentified man approached him and attacked him. They wrestled till daylight.14
Morning approached, and Jacob held his own. Seeing this, the stranger forcefully dislocated Jacob's thigh from its socket, but Jacob continued to hold him down.
Eventually, the man identified himself as Esau's guardian angel enclothed in human form. He begged Jacob to let him go, as his turn to sing praises to G‑d had come. Jacob refused until the angel acquiesced to the blessings Isaac had given him so many years before.
Since Jacob's thigh had been dislocated, Jews do not eat the sciatic nerve and its surroundings until today.
As the sun rose in the sky, G‑d healed Jacob's injury.

The moment had finally come. Esau approached in the distance, and Jacob walked to the front of his camp and bowed to his brother seven times. Seeing this display of respect, Esau's mercy was kindled. He ran forward, hugged and kissed Jacob, and wept.15
Jacob introduced his family to his brother, and they parted in peace.
Jacob brushed aside any talk of continued contact between the two, recognizing that Esau's brotherhood was temporary in nature. He hinted to a future time—when the redemption would come and the world will be at peace—when he would visit Esau once more.
Read: Did Esau Really Forget His Hatred?
Jacob took his time getting back to his parents. On the way, he spent a year and a half in a place called Sukkot before purchasing a field near the city of Shechem, modern day Nablus.16
The ruler of Shechem was named Chamor, and his favorite son was named Shechem too. One day, when Jacob's daughter, Dinah, was out alone, the prince raped her and prevailed on his father to arrange their marriage.
Jacob's sons, furious about what had happened, devised a cunning plan.
They told Chamor and his son that they would be honored for the prince to marry Dinah. There was one condition: the native Shechemites must circumcise themselves.
On the third day after the circumcision, Shimon and Levi took up their swords and attacked the city and put every adult male in town to death and rescued their sister.
Though he understood his sons' actions, Jacob disagreed with what they had done and rebuked them.

Read: Were Simon and Levi Justified?
Jacob gathered his family, bade them to cleanse themselves of any idolatrous items and thoughts, and traveled to the site of his vision of the heavenly ladder, where he offered sacrifices of thanks to G‑d for saving him from those who sought to destroy him.17
G‑d appeared to Jacob and told him, "From now on, you will be known as Israel [Yisrael]." Israel comes from the word 'Sar', meaning ruler. Israel means, "One who rules over Angels and Men and overcomes them."

Rachel was in the final month of her second pregnancy, when, on the outskirts of the village of Beit Lechem, she went into labor.18
Rachel called her newborn son "Ben Oni", the son of my pain, right before she died from the childbirth; but Jacob called him Benjamin, meaning "The son of my right." The Holy Land is considered to be on the right, and Benjamin was the only son born in the Holy Land.
Jacob built a tomb for his beloved wife on the side of the road. He didn't bring her to the family tomb in Hebron, since he saw prophetically that the Jews would be exiled by the Babylonian empire in the future and would be able to pass by her grave and pray.

Rachel's older son, Joseph, was exceptionally bright and righteous, and Jacob loved him tremendously, even commissioning a multicolored coat for Joseph to wear.19
The brothers grew jealous of Joseph, and Joseph, in turn, suspected his brothers of disloyalty to the faith of Abraham.
When Joseph was in his late teens, he dreamed about the sun, moon, and stars, and his brothers' wheat sheaves bowing to him. Joseph related the dreams to his family, and his brothers' hatred grew.
One day, Jacob asked Joseph to check that his brothers, out shepherding the flocks, were alright.
The brothers sold him to a nearby trade caravan that was headed towards Egypt.
To make sure their father wouldn't suspect anything, they ripped off Joseph's colored cloak, dipped it in goat blood, and told their father that they had found Joseph's bloodstained cloak on the roadside. Assuming that that Joseph had been killed by a wild animal, Jacob mourned his son for the next 22 years.
13 years passed. Joseph's journey had been tumultuous, from prize slave in an Egyptian ministerial household to long-term prisoner in Pharaoh's dungeons under false charges.
In a dramatic turn of events, Joseph successfully interpreted Pharaoh's dreams as portending seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine.
Pharaoh was so impressed by Joseph and his faith in G‑d that he appointed Joseph viceroy of Egypt. Joseph proceeded to use the years of plenty to prepare for the upcoming famine.
Illustration by Sefira Ross.
Read: Why didn't Joseph Let His Father Know He Was Alive?
The years of plenty ended, and the famine began. Desperate people from across the region traveled to Egypt to buy food. Eventually, Jacob sent his 10 older sons to buy food in Egypt too.20
Upon arriving in Egypt, the brothers were brought to the viceroy, Joseph. He recognized them, but they did not recognize him.
He proceeded to test their resolve and brotherhood, to see if they hated his younger brother Benjamin as they had hated him and whether they regretted their actions.
His brothers' sincere regret was clear. Joseph revealed himself to them, sent gifts back to Jacob, and bade Jacob to come to Egypt as quickly as possible.
Jacob stopped on the way in Be'er Sheba, ancestral home of his grandfather Abraham, where he prayed to G‑d.
G‑d told Jacob, "Do not be afraid, for I am going down with you to Egypt, and I will bring you back here one day."
Before arriving in Egypt, Jacob sent his son Judah to establish a place to learn Torah, ensuring that the future Jewish nation would retain its identity and faith.
Jacob, his sons, and their families—67 individuals—soon arrived in Egypt. With Joseph and his own two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, they totaled 70 people. These 70 people are the ancestors of the Jewish Nation.
Read: Did Jacob Ever Find Out What Happened To Joseph?
Jacob lived in Egypt for his last 17 years.21 The Rabbis describe this time as the best period of Jacob's life, noting that the numerical value of the Hebrew word for "good," tov, is 17.22
He was cared for and surrounded by his entire family, finally at peace. All his children stayed faithful to the faith—including Joseph, who lived in the throbbing heart of Egyptian culture.
When Jacob first arrived in Egypt, he blessed Pharaoh that Egypt should be prosperous. From that point on, the Nile River would once again flood its banks, bringing the famine to an end.
Before Jacob passed away, he made Joseph swear to bury him in the Cave of Machpelah in Hebron, the location where Abraham, Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca were all buried, and where Jacob himself had buried his wife Leah.
Jacob gathered his 12 sons and addressed them with his final words of blessing, advice and prophecy. He lay back and passed away.
Joseph had his physicians embalm Jacob, a 40-day process; The entire country then mourned Jacob's death for another 30 days.
Following the mourning period, Joseph and his brothers, along with Egyptian ministers, courtiers, and an honor guard carried Jacob's casket to the land of Canaan, where they buried him in the Cave of Machpelah in Hebron.

The Talmud states that Jacob never died. As his children live and continue his achievements, so he lives too.

The Lubavitcher Rebbe noted that Jacob's life can be broken down into three main periods:23
In the Holy Land, sheltered from the entanglements of material life—a period of sovereignty.
In Haran, during which Jacob married, fathered 12 of his 13 children, amassed great wealth, and struggled with Esau and Laban—a period of struggle.
His descent to Egypt—though he was cared for by his beloved son, he was subject to the control of the demigod Pharaoh and the idolatrous Egyptian environment—a period of subjugation.
We, too, experience these three states of being: sovereignty, struggle, and subjugation.
We each have a divine, transcendent soul, pure and inviolable, at the core of our being. Often, though, we struggle—with our environment, our habits, and the passions of our divided hearts.
Though we don't have full mastery over our existence, we are also free people. We can successfully resist that which seeks to sway us from our internal truth.
But we also know times of powerlessness—times when it seems that life has been stopped dead in its tracks, arrested by an impregnable wall of helplessness and despair.
Jacob's life inspires our own. Jacob capitalized on his years of tranquility, used his struggles to create a new nation, and even turned his years under external control into the best years of his life.
We can do this too.
