Da Vinci's Demons A Surprise Hit In Its Debut Season

Da Vinci's Demons is not the first historically based drama on television today. It is however, one of the best. And now thanks to Starz and Anchor Bay, those that aren't lucky enough to have Starz network can experience the first season of this hit series for themselves on DVD and Blu-ray. The first season of Da Vinci's Demons is so entertaining first and foremost because of its clever writing. Unlike so many other historical dramas, this one is more centered on action and adventure than drama. It's one part Indiana Jones and one part…well…Da Vinci's Code tied into one. Audiences will also appreciate the work on the part of the show's cast throughout all eight of Season One's episodes. And of course what box set would be complete without at least some bonus features? The bonus features included in Da Vinci's Demons Season One are relatively brief. But they play their own part in making the overall presentation of Season One enjoyable. These aspects taken into consideration, they work in tandem to make this debut season one that is a must see for any fan of historical dramas.
The most important element of Da Vinci's Demons Season One is its writing. Credit where credit is due. Series creator and writer David S. Goyer (Man of Steel, The Dark Knight Trilogy, The Blade Trilogy) has crafted in the series' first season that is a more akin to Indiana Jones than say Game of Thrones. It just used setting in question as the backdrop for all of the action. Goyer and his staff of writers are more than deserving of respect for balancing the story of his search for the "Book of Leaves" with his being wrapped up in the political and religious turmoil of the time. It would have been so easy for the two separate story lines to step on one another, especially considering the depth of each story line. Keeping in mind the depth of the story arcs throughout Season One, viewers will have to be fully invested in each episode in order to fully appreciate them. One cannot simply have any of Season One's episodes playing while one does housework, etc. and expect to have a full appreciation for the writing. This is a good thing, too. It is good because in being fully invested in each episode, audiences will see the value of and originality in each episode and the first season overall.
The writing behind any TV show and movie is the backbone of each. It can make or break the given TV show or movie. By direct correlation, the work of the show's cast makes the show even more of a joy to watch. Actor Tom Riley aptly fills the role of a young Leonardo Da Vinci opposite his equally talented cast mates. He shows his acting chops quite well with this subtle wit and control over his character's deeper emotions. There are those actors that tend to ham it up on both ends of that spectrum. But Riley doesn't do that. It makes him all the more fun to watch. He and his cast mates collectively make suspension of disbelief easy, too. This should come as no surprise considering the resumes of some of the main cast. The cast is comprised of rather well trained theater actors that are just as experienced in their craft as they are trained. Elliot Cowan (Lorenzo Medici) is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He also holds a degree in Drama from Birmingham University. He has starred in a number of major films including Alexander (2004) and The Golden Compass (2007). Viewers will recognize Gregg Chillin (Zoroaster) from his roles in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. And those that have seen Nanny McPhee Returns will likely recognize actor Eros Vlahos. Vlahos played Cyril Gray in that movie. He has also starred in none other than Game of Thrones as Lommy Greenhands. The collective resume of the cast of Da Vinci's Demons goes on for quite some time. But one can tell from this microscopic look at that resume just why suspension of disbelief was so easy and why the cast gelled so well together. It's one more aspect of the show that makes it such a surprise hit.
The casting and writing behind Da Vinci's Demons are integral to the show's success. Also noteworthy in this triple-disc box set is the bonus features. The primary bonus features included in the set take viewers into the recording studio, where the show's soundtrack was recorded. Also included among the bonus features are the standard deleted scenes, and a look behind the scenes of the show. Each feature is a short vignette. But they do their own part to make the overall experience richer. Even more important to Season One is the inclusion of bonus commentary as well as the option to play each episode with a recap of the previous episodes. The recap is especially helpful regardless of whether or not one missed any of the episodes presented in this set. Even if a person has seen each episode, a recap helps remind viewers of what has already happened. Considering that each episode is just over an hour in length, it makes the recaps even more important an addition to each episode. It is the proverbial cherry on the sundae that makes Season One of Da Vinci's Demons such a surprise hit. Along with the show's writing and its acting, it makes this box set all the more worth picking up.

Ohio gamer sentenced to 15 months prison in 'swatting' case
1010 WINS Newsroom

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — An Ohio gamer upset about a $1.50 bet while playing Call of Duty: WWII online was sentenced Friday to 15 months in prison for recruiting a prankster to make a bogus emergency call that resulted in the fatal shooting of a Kansas man by police.
Casey Viner, 19, of North College Hill, Ohio, also is restricted from gaming activity for two years while he is on supervised release after serving his prison term, U.S. District Judge Eric Melgren said in announcing the sentence.
Viner repeatedly gulped and appeared crestfallen as the judge announced his sentencing decision. He glanced into the courtroom gallery where his parents were seated. His tearful mother got up and left the courtroom. His father, an Ohio law enforcement officer, put his head into his hands.
Viner pleaded guilty in April to felony charges of conspiracy and obstruction of justice in the hope that he would not be sentenced to prison. Viner admitted trying to hide his involvement in the 2017 incident when he realized the antic had gotten someone killed.
In a brief courtroom statement, Viner told the judge he is "awfully sorry" for what happened: "I never intended for anything to happen. I think of it every day."
Prosecutors and defense lawyers in their plea agreement had recommended a sentence of two years on probation, with the added condition that Viner be confined for six months to his home unless attending school, work or church. They also jointly recommended the gaming restriction.
But Melgren said a prison sentence was required to reflect the seriousness of the offense and give the public a sense the criminal justice system is working. It was foreseeable that something bad could happen by calling an armed police force to respond to what police believed was an escalating situation of violence, he said.
"We impose sentences not only for what people intend, but what happened," Melgren said.
The death of 28-year-old Andrew Finch in Wichita, Kansas, drew national attention to "swatting," a form of retaliation in which someone reports a false emergency to get authorities, particularly a SWAT team, to descend on an address.
Viner himself had been swatted just 20 days earlier to the Kansas incident, his defense attorney Jack Morrison, Jr. told the court. He said Viner is remorseful, noting he lost about 20 pounds in recent months "on reflection of the gravity of what occurred as a result of what he believed to be a harmless prank."
Authorities said Viner recruited Tyler R. Barriss to "swat" an opponent, then-19-year-old Shane Gaskill, in Wichita. But the address they used was old, leading police to Finch, who was not involved in the dispute or video game.
Gaskill, who had previously given his old Wichita address to Viner, was charged as a co-conspirator after knowingly giving Barriss the same former address and taunting him to "try something."
Barriss, a then-25-year-old Los Angeles man with an online reputation for "swatting," called police from Los Angeles on Dec. 28, 2017, to falsely report a shooting and kidnapping at that Wichita address. Finch was shot by police when he opened the door to see what was happening outside.
Viner had just turned 18 about two weeks before the deadly swatting incident, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Debra Barnett argued probation would give him a better grasp of what he has done and would be a first step in helping him to grow up.
"At his age and his youthfulness, I am not sure he is going to get it if he is sitting in a cell block with people who are more hardened, more experienced than he is," she said.
The federal indictment alleged that a forensic examination of Viner's iPhone recovered his deleted outgoing messages to unknown persons, including one in which Viner allegedly wrote: "I was involved in someone's death."
Finch's family has sued the city of Wichita and the officers involved. Police have said the officer who shot Finch thought he was reaching for a gun because he moved a hand toward his waistband. The local district attorney declined to charge the officer.
Gaskill has struck a deal for deferred prosecution that could allow the charges against him to be dropped.
U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister said outside the courthouse that a distinguishing factor in the government's handling of the prosecutions of the two gamers is that none of this would have happened if Viner had not reached out to Barriss and started the whole process.
Barriss was sentenced in March to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to 51 counts for making fake emergency calls and threats around the country, including the deadly hoax call in Kansas. Prosecutors believe it is the longest prison sentence ever imposed for "swatting."
An earlier version of the story was corrected to show that Gaskill's age was 19 at the time of the swatting and Barriss' age was 25 at the time.

Chuwi pulled the cover off a notebook under 11 "
The MiniBook X's 2K display has a camera hole for locating the webcam.
Hirdetés
Known for its wallet-friendly products and ring-like product names that are very similar to its competitors, Chuwi has expanded the notebook category of its portfolio with another model. THE MiniBook X relatively few people will be fevered by the internal specifications of the brand-name novelty, as the quad-core Intel Celeron N5100 processor and integrated graphics controller are more for basic tasks (with components with less average 12GB of memory and 512GB of storage), the device thanks to its other features, however, they can be done on a more crowded subway.
With a 16:10 aspect ratio, the 360-degree rear-facing "2K Retina Super Clear" display has a screen size of just 10.8 ", which is even more compact than many tablet screens.
To keep the otherwise 899-gram, 11mm-thick MiniBook X as compact as possible, the webcam has not been placed above or below the screen, but in its upper left corner, which fits into a trend that has been around on smartphones for years. Due to the thickness of the device, too many connectors could not fit on the sides of the machine, users only need to fit in a USB Type-C and a 3.5mm jack port.
It is not yet clear which version of Windows the notebook will run, but you can be sure that it was not given below 10 (since this system was already running on its predecessor), nor is it clear that for a purchase price of around $ 600 whether in return we get that stylus or it is an aftermarket accessory.

FinancialPrivate equity juniors want something other than work life balance.
Morning Coffee: Work from home lessons from Apollo and KKR. Nomura still loves crypto
Will you work from home if you secure a job in a large private equity fund? You could, but it would be at your own risk.
"We have a lot of type A people, and they figure out pretty quickly what it takes to get ahead here," Henry Kravis, executive co-chairman of KKR informed New York Magazine during an interview with the Partnership for New York City, a group of employers that liaises with government. Getting ahead at KKR means getting yourself into the office: "If everyone else is around the table and you're sort of sitting there on a Zoom call, that doesn't make a lot of sense."
While banks like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs have been monitoring individual ID badge swipes to check who's in, who's not, who's late and who's early, people at KKR are as self-policing as Goldman Sachs' MDs with unlimited holidays: they could work from home as much as they like; they don't. "We don't have a time clock," says Kravis. Yes, he monitors fobs coming into the building, but there's no tutting over 10am arrivals and 4pm departures. The monitoring is mostly macro and about office occupancy rates.
KKR is in Hudson Yards nowadays. 24 blocks away at Apollo Global Management on W 57th Street, people are also coming into the office most weekdays, but they get something to compensate.
Last year, Apollo associates complained bitterly of 20-hour days and were subsequently given retention bonuses of up to $200k to stick around with the fund until the coming September. In the wake of this debacle, Apollo has clearly been trying to understand its juniors' motivation. Co-president Jim Zelter suggests it's discovered that they're not really all that bothered about working less. "What we really found was that people weren't looking for balance per se," said Zelter: "They were looking for flexibility." What kind of flexibility? Apollo juniors are now being allowed to work remotely for the whole of August. "There's a war on talent," ponders Zelter, "Talent's probably won."
Big technology firms, which are battling rebellions from employees who don't want to be told to come back into the office at all, might wish that their own staff were as easily persuaded. Banks might also wish hybrid working life were that easy. Christiana Riley, CEO of Deutsche Bank Americas, suggests DB managers want to compel employees to work in the office so that they can keep an eye on them: "We've had a lot of conversations with managers around trust," Riley tells New York Magazine, without elaborating further.
The work from home lesson from big PE funds seems to be that rather than compelling people back into the office and then monitoring their attendance, it's all about engendering sufficient FOMO to make employees come back of their own accords. This, however, presumes a critical mass of employees in the office in the first place. If that means offering employees the option to work 20-hour days from a beach in August, so be it.
Separately, while even Mike Novogratz has gone strangely silent on crypto, Nomura is still banging a big drum on the topic. The Financial Times reports that Nomura is setting up a whole new crypto subsidiary under Jez Mohideen, the chief digital officer for its investment bank.
The subsidiary, which has yet to be named, will initially house 15 people transferred from elsewhere within Nomura. By the end of 2023, it will grow to house 100. FOMO is again the driving force: "If we don't do this, then it's going to be more difficult down the line to be competitive," said an unnamed Nomura executive. Recent crypto turmoil will subside, he added: "Any asset class at the moment that has discounted cash flow is all under huge stress in an inflationary environment. But I think . . . many managers will be looking and thinking about potentially allocating towards blockchain technology and blockchain opportunities."
Orlando Romero, a Deutsche Bank employee who achieved a $28k pay hike by pretending to have a competing job offer with a far higher salary, has been told he must notify all future banks he might work for of the incident. (Business Insider)
CK Zheng, the former global head of valuation risk at Credit Suisse who has his own crypto hedge fund, says crypto is a whole new asset class and will keep on booming. "Today you look at stocks, you look at bonds and the many other asset classes — it's either fully valued or overvalued, and there's a lot of concern about the Fed's tightening cycle. So people have to think about where they put their assets and how to invest in the future." (Blockworks)
Morgan Stanley thinks crypto will keep falling. "Hyped and leveraged areas of crypto, such as decentralized finance (DeFi) and crypto-backed stablecoins, are seeing mass liquidations, as it is becoming clearer that all the elevated prices were traded on speculation, with limited real user demand."

SELLING YOUR APP AND WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Selling Apps,Valuate Software,Developer Advice
https://appdevelopermagazine.com/images/news_images/Selling-Your-Mobile-App-App-Developer-Magazine_liboicls.jpg
Richard Harris in Monetize Monday, April 10, 2017
Selling your app can be tricky. Here are some tips to help developers and publishers valuate and successfully market their mobile app for sale.
The app market has changed significantly over the last few years. Google Play, for example, had 600,000 apps in 2012. Now it has more than 3 million. Despite this, a report from Nielsen suggests that users only use 27 apps per month. As a result, it is increasingly difficult for developers and app owners to maintain engagement and to successfully monetize their apps.
According to Vision Mobile, more than 50 per cent of app developers are operating under a 'poverty threshold' of $500 per month in revenues.
We sat down and had a chat with AppsBuyOut's CEO, Claudia Dreier-Poepperl to learn more about the current market environment for these low-to-mid level developers.
ADM: What do you feel separates top tier apps from the low-to-mid apps?
Dreier-Poepperl: Low-to-mid tier app owners tend to be 'part-time developers'. According to Vision Mobile, 43 per cent of mobile developers are either hobbyists doing it for fun or independent developers who are doing it as a side project.
Also, low-to-mid tier app acquisitions are mainly concerned with software assets, rather than a company with staff. This means apps with users, completely new apps or simply source code. The apps that are being traded are stand-alone, rather than a channel to market.
The top-tier app market is reserved for a small number of apps which are wildly successful with users, have innovative technology or both. When these apps are sold, the buyer tends to acquire a company with staff rather than a standalone app. For example, British teenager Nick D'Aloisio's much-discussed sale of mobile news app Summly to Yahoo for $30 million in 2013 included some Summly staff.
ADM: What can app developers and publishers put in place in order to make their apps more attractive to the public?
Dreier-Poepperl: Nothing beats a good user experience. Developers most make sure that apps function in the most efficient way. With the multitude of apps available, any difficulty in navigating the app could result in users turning off and turning to other apps.
Monetization is important but developers must explore new and innovative ways to make money without interrupting the user experience. If your app is a notepad app, users want it for that and will not want to navigate a myriad of adverts before they get to use the notepad they acquired.
ADM: What do you think is the single most important tip for developers and publishers who are struggling to keep business alive in such a competitive mobile economy?
Dreier-Poepperl: I'd advice developers to be aware of all their options and make sure they are making the most of everything that is out there. From monetization to development support, there is a wide variety of solutions and platforms developers can make the most of to help their apps flourish.
ADM: What are the main reasons developers make the decision to sell their app?
Dreier-Poepperl: Selling is rarely the first option but if the revenue remains limited or if doesn't show any realistic chances of improving, it tends to become more of an option. They might sell because they want to get on with other things or simply because they need to release some capital. For example, one developer who recently sold his app to AppsBuyOut did so because he needed to pay for his honeymoon.
ADM: What are the most important questions developers need to keep in mind when putting their app up for sale?
Dreier-Poepperl: Developers need to ask the difficult questions to make sure that their app is rightly valued and that they are getting the best deal. Developers need to ask 'do I really need to sell my app?', 'how do I find out how much my app is truly worth?', 'what due diligence do I need to undertake to make sure I achieve a successful exit? and many more questions to make sure they get the best possible result.
ADM: How do buyers valuate apps when looking to buy?
Dreier-Poepperl: Valuation is driven by a range of different factors, including installed base, daily active users (DAUs), revenues and the amount of time the app has been available. Revenues and profits can be important but it's not always all about that. Depending on the app buyer's strategy for taking the app forward, they may place greater emphasis on one or more of the factors listed above and evaluate how these factors inter-relate in order to make a rational decision. That is why it is important for app owners to know how their app rates for each before stepping into the app market to sell the app.
Audio commentary from
Claudia Dreier-Poepperl,
CEO of AppsBuyOut
ADM: Which options are available for app developers if they want to sell their app?
Dreier-Poepperl: There are many routes to an exit but it is always good to explore the options and get a few quotes to make sure you are getting a fair deal.
Direct buyers will deal with app owners directly to buy an app, so deals can be quick and cost-free. Marketplaces with a full service solution are a bit like eBay - they provide a full process framework for app owners to use, but you pay a share of the proceeds for the convenience. They typically have an option to run an auction for the app. Marketplaces that mainly provide listings, on the other hand, are a bit like classified ad portals. App owners can simply advertise their apps but they have to deal with negotiations and payments themselves. Brokers will have access to buyers and do the deal on your behalf. As commissions are high for this service, it only makes sense if the app is in the high mid-tier.
While app marketplaces may also enable app owners to trade in source code, there are specific sites which focus on source code exclusively.

The Top 10 Klaytn Blockchain Applications for 2020
By JohnOctober 11, 2020In Ecosystem12 Minutes
The Klaytn Blockchain was developed by the Blockchain unit (Ground X) of Korea's top messaging platform Kakao. Klaytn is a public Blockchain platform that was launched in 2019. Their mainnet called "Cypress" aims to drive mass adoption of Blockchain by offering high performance, fast response, and flexible scaling solutions. It combines the best features of both public Blockchains and private Blockchains through their hybrid design. In addition, they are partnering with many businesses to use their Blockchain services. Furthermore, the platform allows real-world applications of large scale to be produced immediately so that our end-users can make full use of services without much expertise in Blockchain or cryptocurrency.
Klaytn announced that its digital wallet called Klip will be embedded in KakaoTalk in 2020. Therefore, by the end of 2020, Klip will support KLAY-based non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and crypto-collectibles. In addition, KakaoTalk already has over 50 million users and over 60 applications on its platform.
"We are committed to offering Blockchain services for a more mainstream audience, and together with the Council members, we have built an extensive and secure foundation for Blockchain services to flourish. We will continue to make progress toward our vision to be the first solution to bringing Blockchain experiences that flow seamlessly," said Ground X CEO, Jason Han.
Klaytn is the Libra of Korea
Similar to Libra, the Klaytn Platform does not belong to the social media platform. Kakao does not own Klaytn. Rather it belongs to all the Klaytn Governance Council members. Therefore, the council is the one that makes all the decisions. Furthermore, Klaytn is currently ahead of Libra is that it has already proven to process a daily transaction volume of around 700,000. Therefore, to put this into context, Klaytn reached this number in less than a year. In addition, when you compare this to Ethereum which took over 4 years, you can understand why Klaytn is on the right track.

GOSH is a brand that I really love and I feel that they don't get as much attention/hype on their products as much as other brands which is a big shame!
Famous for it's primers, January saw a new addition to family with the Primer Plus+ and what's the best part – it contains snow algae!
As you can see in the photos this comes in a handy tube making it perfect to apply on the go and a lot more hygienic than tubs and little jars!
GOSH Primer Plus+ What Does it Do?
Primer's in general have been designed to create a barrier between make-up and your skin but also provide something for your makeup to 'hold on to' meaning it'll last longer during the day.
The Primer Plus+ contains snow algae to safeguard skin's youthfulness, rejuvenate, protect, hydrate also blurs your imperfections.
It can be used alone to give skin a natural look or under your foundation for more staying power when applying your makeup.
Even though this just looks like a cream it has a silky cream texture which is what a primer should feel like in my opinion.
It's very lightweight when applied to skin so you don't feel like you're blocking pores or applying something heavy to your skin which is really lovely – our skin doesn't like heavy products during the day as this what causes breakouts.
GOSH Primer Plus+ Does it Blur?
No, for me it doesn't 'blur' anything, it just makes my skin feel a lot smoother which is great when applying your makeup as it goes on looking lovely and you don't need to use as much makeup either.
If you're looking for a blurring/airbrush finish product then this isn't it but if you're looking for a decent primer that will keep your makeup in place and make your skin look/feel smooth then you'll really like it!
I like this primer and have been using it daily, it keeps my make-up looking lovely during the day, my skin feels nice and fresh but if I have to pick, I do prefer the GOSH Foundation Primer Classic as it gives skin a velvet smooth finish that I adore!
You can purchase the GOSH Primer Plus+ from Superdrug for £13.99 and whilst you might think it's pricey – it's not as you only need a little (pea-sized) amount and it goes a long way.
I've been using this daily for about 3 weeks and there's still plenty to last me probably till around end of April/May!
Gosh does seem to be underated.
This is a great review, Layla and I have to agree that GOSH doesn't seems to get a lot of hype in the blogging world. We do have GOSH here but I have yet to try anything from them, definitely have to change that soon.

Possibly my favorite class I'm taking this semester in Bath is UK Politics and Government. It's one of the most exciting times to take a course on UK politics, to say the least. For anyone unaware of the current state of affairs in Britain, last summer there was a referendum held to decide whether the UK should leave the European Union. The result of the referendum was in favor of leaving, and since then Britain has gone through a tumultuous political period. David Cameron stepped down as Prime Minster, Scotland is considering independence once more, and now Theresa May has just called for a snap election (which basically means that every Member of Parliament is up for election in June). Most importantly, perhaps, is that Britain is largely in a state of uncertainty about its future. No one is entirely sure what Brexit means for the country, its economy, or its place in the world. Further, there are questions about what this means for other Europeans countries like France, and what this means for the EU as a whole. The future is quite seriously unknown.
With all of these developments, it is quite interesting living in the UK. As an American, I have been asked more than once about our new administration, but these conversations just as often get turned around as Brexit inevitably comes up. I've talked to many people who strongly disagree with the result, but I've also heard people explain why they voted to leave. In my UK Politics class, every week we realize just how much this decision complicates what we know about British politics and just how many areas of policy and government it already has, and will continue to influence. As an outsider, it's fascinating to have these conversations. I don't doubt that I'd enjoy this class pre-Brexit, but there is something about being in this country as it works through the consequences of the decision that makes the issue feel much less foreign. I feel like I am witnessing firsthand what I would never exactly get from a BBC article. Before coming to Britain, I had people ask why I'd come after the Brexit result. However, I believe that I'm learning about the issue in a much more personal way, even in an academic setting. It will be interesting to see how the rest of Brexit unfolds over the months and years to come, and I hope that students don't see the decision as a deterrent*, but as an opportunity to see the politics of Brexit in action and hear from British residents about their experiences during this time.
*note: As a person of color, I was a bit anxious coming because anti-immigrant sentiment is part of the discussions about Brexit, but in my personal experience I have not felt unwelcome in the country, nor in any danger (especially because I am from America, which is a privilege on its own). I do understand that this is a serious source of anxiety for others, however, and would be willing to share my experiences.


There was a time when recruiters found great candidates through word of mouth or postings on job boards, but these days the best applicants are literally in the palm of your hand. SMS is revolutionizing every aspect of business, and if that seems like an overstatement, it isn't. More than 75 percent of the mobile phones currently in use are now SMS enabled, and mobile marketing automation is expanding that already promising accessibility to exponentially exciting new levels.
A lot of in-house recruiting departments as well as employment placement agencies utilize online job boards and encourage jobseekers to register for an account in order to save job listings, upload an application, and so on. By building SMS permissions into that registration process, subscribers can now be notified of new openings as they become available.
Once you've notified eager job seekers that there's now an opening, you have to somehow manage the incoming flood. There are applications to send, documents you'll need to request, and personal details required every step of the way. You could call and ask for these things, but an automated text with an embedded link that, when clicked, delivers recipients straight to the upload page just makes more sense – and, because the process is automated, the computer is responsible for nudging tardy applicants so you can concentrate on more important things.
Depending on the job opening and industry, the first round of interviews for a position may include dozens or even hundreds of people. Coordinating all those interview times is a logistical nightmare – or at least it used to be. Opt for SMS software that includes a calendar function and those scheduling texts will go out all on their own (once you've set the parameters, of course). This works for last-minute changes in the time or location of the interview, too.
Once you've checked all the references and analyzed all the interviews, you're going to have to actually pick someone. If you're lucky, your number one choice will accept the offer, and it's time to onboard your newest employee. Once again, there's an opportunity to streamline the process by sending everything from the actual job offer to orientation paperwork via automated text. Nervous about asking employees to send personal data over a mobile connection? Relax. If financial institutions are finding ways to accept credit card applications via SMS, you can find similar solutions for social security numbers and other information necessary for employee files or background checks.
Being a recruitment manager is a seriously hard job. Thankfully, automated SMS is here to not only make our jobs easier but, even more important, to help us do them better. With 47 percent of millennials now using mobile devices during their job search (a number that promises to grow as increasingly digitally dependent generations come of age), it's a technological upgrade we should be fired for not considering.
What do you think of what I've covered so far? Will you adopt mobile as your tool for communication? I would love to read your comments below.

On 19 September 2014 in Bishkek the British Ambassador to the Kyrgyz Republic Judith Farnworth awarded certificates worth 1 million soms each for purchase of tractors the representatives of seven ayil aimaks of two oblasts - Jalal-Abad and Issyk-Kul.
In May 2014 "Voice of Citizens and Accountability of Local Self-Government: Budget Process" Project, funded by the Government of Switzerland, in partnership with the British Department for International Development and executed by the Development Policy Institute (hereinafter - the Project), started its work on the territory of new pilot rural municipalities of two oblasts - Jalal-Abad and Issyk-Kul. This project also continued to collaborate with rural municipalities selected in 2011-2012.
Rural residents complain about lack of cleanliness in villages due to outdated waste collection equipment or its complete absence. Moreover, with the beginning of spring and summer season, level of infectious diseases increases that primarily is a threat for children and elderly. According to the population opinion, the issue of purchase of special equipment for garbage collection or establishment of cleaning companies and removal of solid-waste (SW) is a priority for the bodies of LSG. People expect from the LSG bodies to finance solutions to this problem, and are even willing to do payments and participate in organization of services.
"Within our Project there are funds envisaged to be used for supporting initiatives aimed at addressing the issues of local significance and improve the living conditions of the local community - says Bekbolot Bekiev, the Project Manager. - In other words, they must conform to the priorities identified with participation of the population through questionnaires, focus groups, and activities to assess jointly the needs of the village (PRA-sessions). Today we present the certificates worth 1 million som each to seven rural municipalities of Jalal-Abad and Issyk-Kul oblasts for the purchase of machinery - tractors "Belarus 82.1" - with a variety of additional equipment for the collection and disposal of solid waste and repair of internal roads. As happened in our practice, the grant funds have been transferred to local budgets of the rural municipalities. After training at the Ministry of Finance, the employees of LSG performed public procurement on their own".
"Democracy, security and prosperity are key principles that underpin the Kyrgyz-British cooperation. I think in the past year we have made progress in all directions. In addition to a number of important initiatives to support the Government and Parliament initiated reforms, we also provide support to the projects in the field, providing tangible improvements in the lives of thousands of people throughout Kyrgyzstan, - commented on the event Her Majesty's Ambassador Judith Farnworth. - We are pleased to participate in the process of local development to support and improve the living conditions of rural communities".


The News was spot on in its Oct. 30 editorial applauding the removal of the Robert Moses Parkway in Niagara Falls.
There's another freeway in an urban space that divides an internationally recognized park, and cuts the park lake in two. It is Route 198, severing Delaware Park. The New York State Department of Transportation's current plans grab more parkland to add stoplights and huge intersections.
Almost 150 years ago, the civic and business leaders invited Frederick Law Olmsted to create a park for growing Buffalo. Olmsted gave the city not one but three major parks, which grew into six major parks, knitted together by parkways. The parkways wove neighborhoods into a quilt of greenspace that connected communities to each other. Olmsted built a city within a park.
The DOT rammed a flurry of freeways through Buffalo parks and parkways in the 1950s, shredding the connections between parks and isolating communities.
Delaware Park was lacerated by Route 198. The Scajaquada Parkway, which meandered along the shores of the creek, was obliterated, which destroyed any association with the water.
Humboldt Parkway, one of the most beautiful streets in the world, was plowed into a trench for speeding cars. The urban quilt Olmsted stitched together in the 19th century was ripped apart by highways in the 20th. Community greenspace and neighborhood connections were shattered. The devastation was not limited to parks. Highways cause health, economic and environmental issues, and segregate communities.
Olmsted worked tirelessly to create what is Niagara Falls State Park, and today, its parkland is freed from the grip of a 20th century highway. Buffalo's neighborhoods and world-famous parks and parkways deserve the same 21st century thinking and design.


Kannada film, Hebbet Rammakka directed by Nanjunde Gowda has won the 65th national award in the regional film category, but the director said that he had anticipated a bigger recognition.
BENGALURU: Kannada film, Hebbet Rammakka directed by Nanjunde Gowda has won the 65th national award in the regional film category, but the director said that he had anticipated a bigger recognition. "I expected a sure award for Hebbet Ramakka and it is something every filmmaker hopes for. But, I expected a higher level of recognition for the film at a national level because of the subject and its contemporary relevance," he says.
Hebbet Ramakka is about women's political reservations and its tag line being Sama baalu Sama paalu. (Equal life and equal rights). "Contentwise, this was a subject beyond our language and state. In fact I wanted to make this film in south Indian languages and in Marathi too because it was not only meant for Karnataka. It is an educative film about women and constitutional rights. I felt the jury should have considered it at national level," he says.
Films in the political genre might be many, but a film like this, starts from ground level, right from Gram Panchayat. I have so many incidents of women representatives at different levels and according to me 80% of the women candidates who won are misused by the system," he says.
Irrespective of the award, Nanjunde Gowda feels that the film should reach out to all. "The very purpose of making the film is to create social awareness. We are now releasing the film on April 27. The film stars Tara and Devaraj with music by Poornachandra Tejaswi.
13 years she got to play the title role, Ramakka.

Gisèle Villeneuve's new short story collection continues to win major awards. Most recently, Rising Abruptly was announced as the winner of the Mountain Fiction & Poetry category at the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival.
The book also won the Georges Bugnet Award for Fiction [Writers' Guild of Alberta], the Trade Fiction Book of the Year [Book Publishers Association of Alberta], and was on the Alberta Readers' Choice Award long-list.
I am so pleased that Rising Abruptly is now linked in this manner with our Rockies. It's no great revelation to say that writers are the ultimate soloists. Even if we are only climbing along the horizontal line of the page, it has its challenges and hazards. But after months, if not years, of working the problem alone, it's a great comfort, and relief, to find a support team when we reach our summit. Meaning of course when the manuscript is accepted for publication. And so, I owe a debt of gratitude to my publisher, The University of Alberta Press, who took a chance on me, and to my editor, Maya Fowler. It can be tricky to be assigned an editor you never met before. Fortunately, in the case of Rising Abruptly, working with Maya was pure joy. Think of it like a team of two on a rope. When it works well, the moves are fluid, no movements wasted. No swearing at each other. Maya and I share the same views about writing, language, taking risks on the page. And no matter how careful you think you had been reviewing your manuscript, after all those months, or years, you get a little snow-blind staring at your words. And so, the sharp-eyed editor keeps you from hitting the stylistic deck. Afterward, if our books are nominated for awards, and actually win, we think about the jurors. In this case, Mayan, Ian, and David. I wish to acknowledge their contribution. The job often requires that the individuals serving on a jury put aside their own work to read and assess and debate and decide. Then, there are the sponsors. We know that makers of gear for the great outdoors regularly sponsor expeditions into the wild. Tonight, I'd like to pay tribute to Deuter for its support of literature, another kind of expedition into the wild of our minds. And now, I offer a heart-felt thank-you to all of you organizing and coordinating the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival. And last, but not forgotten in this adventure, there is the mysterious, elusive person of the reader, without whom no book can have true meaning. Merci beaucoup.
The organizers of The Writing Stick: Sharing Indigenous Stories welcomed over 200 people to participate in a conference dedicated to conversations about respectful ways to publish Indigenous stories. The conference took place at the University of Alberta from June 8 to 10, 2017.
…blogging about our new PhD Internship in Publishing and Editing.
The staff of the University of Alberta Press had a treat on Monday: a visit to the Bruce Peel Special Collections!
Linda Quirk, Assistant Special Collections Librarian, and Kevin Zak, Exhibitions & Collections Assistant, spent an hour showing us a range of treasures and telling us about the general operations of the Bruce Peel Special Collections that houses and archives rare books on campus. No food and drink are allowed inside the locked doors, but we didn't need white gloves either—just a thorough hand-washing was enough to allow us to touch some books Linda pulled out of the massive collection.
But the most well-known book we viewed—and a lot more valuable than the above mentioned items—was a book by Johannes Tinctor, known as Invectives Against the Sect of Waldensians, from 1465. This "foul treatise" is the first known book that deals with how to identify and persecute witches. Its three sister manuscripts are held in Paris, Brussels, and Oxford. No wonder that it has garnered much media attention.
There are countless treasures and fascinating stories to go with them at the Bruce Peel Special Collections. Check out their website for more information and to browse their digital exhibitions. Be sure to mark your calendar for future exhibits, which continue to become ever more extensive and interactive. We promise you will be fascinated!

We had the great pleasure of interviewing Jarry. Check out the great advice we received from her:

Please tell us a bit about yourself. (Where are you from? What are you most known for /
passionate about?)
I'm a full-time model, actress, musician, and influencer in Manhattan, New York City with a following of over 750,000 across my channels. I grew up in Wales and England, graduated from NYU and Choate Rosemary Hall, and used to work as a journalist (I was a deputy editor at BuzzFeed for 3.5 years). I live with my boyfriend and our bengal cat Potato (he has his own Instagram @potatobengal) — and enjoy long-distance running, playing classical piano, painting, and cooking and baking for my food blog (@cookingwithjarry).
Jarry, you used to work as a journalist and editor before pivoting to modeling and acting.
Can you provide some tips on how to change careers or industries successfully? Also,
what made you switch to modeling and acting?
There's so much information available for free online, especially on YouTube, about every industry, so take advantage of that to get a foundation of basic knowledge first. I would also recommend reaching out to people whose work you admire, or those who've made similar career transitions, and ask about their experiences and advice. My #1 tip is to ignore any creeping self-doubts you may feel — just know that it's part of the process, and not necessarily a reflection on your prospects for success.
I started modeling and acting as a hobby on the side — in spring 2018 and fall 2017, respectively. I found that I really enjoyed the creative aspect of collaborating with photographers to make images that looked like art, especially when they involved unique editorial makeup looks and high fashion styles. Eventually when I started booking more and more paid shoots with bigger brands, I quit my job at BuzzFeed and my career in media in general to pursue it full-time. One reason I decided to pursue it was because there are few Asian models in the industry — I've had many young women reach out to me and express that they felt inspired to see someone who looked like them working and succeeding. Representation matters! I never saw Asian models when I was growing up, so I didn't even consider it as a possibility.
Who is your favorite actor/actress, and why?
Two of my favorite actors are Sandra Oh and Daniel Kaluuya. They are both so incredibly talented and can play a very diverse range of roles. I also admire Jamie Foxx because he has so many talents in addition to acting.
Photo by Glenn Lesnick
What`s your favorite movie of all time?
I'm not sure I have an all-time favorite but two recent favorites were Parasite and Palm Springs.
If you could live in any period of history, when would it be and why?
I'd rather live in any period in the future! Hopefully there will be more cures to diseases and solutions to other worldwide issues, and I've always been obsessed with the possibilities of technology in the future.
If you could work with anybody in the world (dead or alive), who would that be and why?
It would be a dream to be photographed by Annie Leibovitz — her portraits are so captivating and I love her style.
How do you keep feeling motivated and inspired creatively?
I'm a bit of a stereotypical Aries in that my problem usually isn't staying motivated — it's stopping myself from overworking! One silver lining to the pandemic is that I've had more downtime to work on new projects, so I've been dedicating some of that time to actively work on relaxing and unwinding more. I find being in nature very re-invigorating as well for new creative inspiration.
Photo by Balthier Corfi
How do you cope with the pandemic? Do you have a routine? Any fitness tips?
These days, I alternate between strength training with weights at home, and running outdoors. On an average day, I'll typically aim to do between 4-6 miles. I also drink protein shakes after every workout and try to cook most of my meals — I started my cooking blog during the pandemic and it's become a fun hobby. I don't stick to a specific diet but generally try to limit my sugar intake, and also eat plenty of lean proteins and vegetables.
Can you please provide us with some advice on succeeding in the entertainment or
fashion industry?
Learn what makes you unique and then use that to market yourself. You don't want to look like everyone else. Embrace your quirks to stand out. More importantly, think deeply about what you really want, and if you find that modeling/acting is truly it, then commit to putting in the work. And then work even harder. Push yourself every day. The fashion and entertainment industries aren't rewarding for most people for a long time, and they definitely won't be rewarding for anyone whose heart isn't in it. I also believe in the importance of building up your brand — take the time to grow your social media presence because it can be helpful in the long run.

If there is one question I should`ve asked, what would that be? And how would you
answer it?
"What's the biggest lesson you've learned?" It's OK to turn things down — whether that's a gig, role, audition, etc. I used to try to do everything I was offered, but quickly realized that my time is most valuable. Overextending yourself because you don't want to say "no" to anything might actually make you miss out on other, better opportunities. At the same time, don't make up excuses to say "no." There will be days when I don't feel like filming a self-tape audition, for example — but if I don't put in the work just because "I don't feel like it," I would never get booked for anything! As the saying goes, you really do miss 100% of the shots you don't take.


When people hear the words, Feng Shui, they typically think about their home and where to place their furniture and belongings. Well, it's true, Feng Shui is about the arrangement and flow of energy within your home and office environments, but it encompasses much more than that, it effects our everyday lives on many levels.
In essence, Feng Shui is about living with awareness and intention and a deep inner knowing that each of us is creating our own reality every day. This way of thinking and being is reflected in how we relate and express ourselves in the world, including what clothing we choose to wear. How we dress can and does influence how others see us as well as how we see our self.
In Feng Shui we use the five elements when deciding what color to paint a wall or what fabric to upholster a chair, and when deciding what accessories to use that will help balance a room. We make these same decisions every morning when we decide what we are going to wear that day. Some mornings I wake up knowing that I want or need to wear a particular color today. Perhaps you've had the same experience? What if in the future you could make these choices with more awareness supporting them, thereby enhancing your energy in ways you never thought of before using Feng Shui?
Applying the principals of the Five Elements: water, wood, fire, earth and metal, can help you to cultivate and/or enhance a characteristic or attribute you like about yourself or diminish one your not so fond of. For example, maybe you're a person who is fun loving and have a great sense of humor, but your clothes convey a different more conservative message. Adding the element of fire to your personal style can show people you are someone who enjoys life and is fun to be around.
Conversely, the element of wood can be used to overcome a personality trait such as, shyness or insecurity that keeps you from pursuing a new career or relationship. On the other hand maybe you are feeling anxious and fearful, then some earth maybe just the thing you need to ground you and give you more stability.
• The Interview: To increase your confidence and assertiveness wear the color green, vertical stripes and wooden high-heal shoes to enhance the element of wood.
• The Management Meeting: To enhance your leadership and organization skills wear the colors white or gray, polka dots, prominent metal pin or round watch to increase the element of metal.
• The PR Event: To boost your visibility and self-expression wear the colors red or purple, star shapes or zigzag stripes, silk blouse or fur trimmed jacket to bring in the element of fire.
• The Disciplinary Review: To create feelings of caring, consideration and supporting times of stress and confrontation wear the colors yellow or brown, strong horizontal lines, cotton and chenille fabrics to enhance the element of earth.
• The Brainstorm Session: Adding the element of water will help you to tap into your creative side and let go of structure and increase your ability to think outside the box. Wearing the colors black, blue, and cream, loose fitting clothes that lack structure, sheer, lace and velvet fabrics all support the element of water.
There are many ways for you to use the five elements in your wardrobe allowing you to create a unique style that enhances your individual personality and style. When you choose items with intention for what you wish to enhance or diminish about your character you are actively creating the life you want. Tomorrow when you are standing in front of your closet consciously ask yourself what do I want to wear today that is going to help me feel and act the way to chose to be in the world.

Rescuers Find Teen 12 Hours After He Was Washed Away In A 'Maze' Of Drainage Pipes
More than 100 rescuers worked through the night to try to find the 13-year-old - a task made more difficult because, they say, it was too dangerous to send a searcher into the mazelike network of pipes beneath the city.
World | (c) 2018 The Washington Post | Cleve R. Wootson Jr., The Washington Post | Updated: April 03, 2018 06:38 IST
To find Jesse, rescuers turned to technology, hoping sophisticated waterproof cameras.
Jesse plunged 25 feet into a four-foot-wide drainage pipe; was swept away
More than 100 rescuers worked through the night to try to find the boy
Found and taken to the hospital, it was unclear whether Jesse was injured
Sunday afternoon had been filled with soccer and volleyball and food, but at some point just before the Easter egg hunt, Jesse Hernandez and his cousins slipped away from their family's annual gathering to do some exploring on their own.
What they found at the northern edge of Los Angeles's Griffith Park, after climbing a chain-link fence, was an abandoned maintenance shed, with a roof full of decaying wooden planks.
While jumping on one, authorities say, Jesse fell through. He plunged 25 feet into a four-foot-wide drainage pipe, then was swept away.
His cousins called out to him, the Los Angeles Times reported, but all they heard were the echoes of their own voices.
For 12 hours, they found nothing.
Then a sanitation crew put a camera into a maintenance hatch a mile from the park.
The camera showed crews a feed of Jesse, "alive and talking," according to Los Angeles CW affiliate KTLA. Rescuers managed to pull him out, and one of them gave him a cellphone to call his family. They notified city authorities a little later.
"It's with happy hearts that all Los Angeles City agencies are able to state that we have found Jesse Hernandez," Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Erik Scott said at an early morning news conference Monday. "As you can imagine, we are overwhelmed with joy."
Jesse was taken to a hospital, although it was unclear whether he was injured.
For hours, authorities had been talking about how difficult it was to navigate the network of pipes. At some points, the water is two feet deep and moves at a 15-mph clip, ABC News reported.
"That place is a maze," Los Angeles Police Sgt. Bruno La Hoz told the L.A. Times on Sunday. "We don't know where the drain pipe goes to."
To find Jesse, rescuers turned to technology, hoping sophisticated waterproof cameras used to inspect the city's drainage system would provide a glimpse of the missing boy.
One camera crawled along the bottom of pipes and transmitted images to crews nearby. Another was attached to a boogie-board-like flotation device, the L.A. Times reported. It went 300 feet down one pipe.
But neither caught sight of the boy. Rescuers fanned out to sites where the sewage system drains and searched chambers where Jesse may have gotten trapped.
"All possible City resources are being utilized in the search for Jesse," the fire department said in a statement.
Television news footage showed dozens of firefighters in climbing gear and helmets standing over a hole in the ground, the whole area brightened by floodlights. Others could be seen peering into the nearby Los Angeles River.
Meanwhile, Jesse's family members and friends were keeping a vigil at the park. More than 20 remained late Sunday and were being comforted by city officials.
"He's too young. It's just crazy. I still can't believe it," Dominique Barraza, 16, a family friend, said Sunday. "We called, sent text messages - it rings, but it goes to voice mail."
Then, on Monday morning, Jesse called them.
