The quest to go totally bezel less may take more time it seems but the Huawei Honor 7X is a great addition to the lot. The phone looks as good as it could get with a slim design, unique 18:9 aspect ratio and a dual camera setup.
Announced today, the phone features a bigger 5.93-inch display with a resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels. It sports a 2.5D glass and for Honor, it is easy to keep the fingerprint sensor in the back as they have always done.
The device has a 16-megapixel rear camera combined with a 2 megapixel secondary camera to produce DSLR quality photos whereas an equally powerful 8 megapixel front camera should ensure the best selfies possible.
Under the metal shell, the Huawei Honor 7X sports a Kirin 659 processor which is an eight-core chip combined with Mali-T830 MP2 graphics chip. It has 4GB RAM which should be more than adequate to keep multiple apps open at once without any hiccups and provides a hybrid SIM card slot. There's also a micro SD card slot for expanding the memory when required.
The 7X runs on Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box which is bit of a disappointment but it may receive Oreo upgrade in the near future. It is powered by a 3,340 mAh battery with micro USB port, another old-age hardware port and weighs a t165g.
The Huawei Honor 7X priced at $200 for the 32GB version will go on sale on October 17 in China and should be announced in other regions later. The 64GB edition costs $260 and the 128GB model is priced at $300.

Minnesota Vikings $1.1 billion Stadium Plan
By Vikings Tickets
The Minnesota Vikings football team, after a long race to get a new stadium, appears to have a new hope that takes the shape of a $1.1 billion site in Arden Hills.
The Minnesota Vikings are moving forward with a $1.1 billion proposal which would place a new Vikings stadium in Arden Hills, Minnesota - a suburb located about 10 miles northeast of Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. Arden Hills is located in Ramsey County and the current partnership, announced May 10, came a day after Minneapolis proposed a plan to keep the Vikings at the Metrodome site.
The Minnesota Vikings appear to have little to no interest in playing at the Minneapolis location. The team would only extend its lease at the Metrodome past this season if a stadium deal is in place.
The proposed 65,000-seat stadium would be located on the abandoned ammunitions plant in suburban Arden hills and would include a retractable roof. The site, however, does require intense road upgrades and transportation improvements tallying about $131 million, according to MNDoT.
Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton has repeatedly stressed the state would contribute no more than $300 million to the stadium.

Kidney transplant is a surgical procedure where failing kidneys are replaced with a healthy kidney from a donor. The donor can live a normal healthy life with only one kidney. Usually the best matches for patient and donor are usually from family members.
Deciding about the Transplant
The evaluation process for a transplant is very thorough. Your healthcare team will need to know a lot about you to help them—and you—decide if a transplant is right for you. One thing you can do to speed the process is to get all the testing done as quickly as possible and stay in close contact with the transplant team. Remember, being active in your own care is one of the best ways to stay healthy. If someone you know would like to donate a kidney to you, that person will also need to go through a screening to find out if he or she is a match and healthy enough to donate.
If it's your child who has kidney disease, you'll want to give serious thought to getting a transplant evaluation for him or her. Because transplantation allows children and young adults to develop in as normal a way as possible in their formative years, it can be the best treatment for them.
Duration of Stay
10 days in the hospital, 45 days outside
Recovery Process
You'll be sore at first, but you should be out of bed in a day or so, and home within a week. If the kidney came from a living donor, it should start to work very quickly. A kidney from a deceased donor can take longer to start working—two to four weeks or more. If that happens, you may need dialysis until the kidney begins to work. After surgery, you'll be taught about the medicines you'll have to take and their side effects. You'll also learn about diet.
Once you are home from the hospital, the most important work begins—the follow-up. For your transplant to be successful, you will have regular check-ups, especially during the first year. At first, you may need blood tests several times a week. After that, you'll need fewer check-ups, but enough to make sure that your kidney is working well and that you have the right amount of anti-rejection medication in your body.
Kidney transplant is usually recommended at the end stage of kidney disease when dialysis ceases to be effective. Common causes of end-stage renal disease include:
The following requirements are mandatory before undergoing the kidney transplant procedure:
The patient will undergo the following tests before the procedure:
During the procedure the surgeon will make a long incision into the lower abdomen on one side. will visually inspect the donor kidney before implanting it. The donor kidney will be placed into the abdomen. A left donor kidney will be implanted on the right side; a right donor kidney will be implanted on your left side. This allows the ureter to be accessed easily for connection to the patient's bladder. The renal artery and vein of the donor kidney will be sewn to the external iliac artery and vein. After the artery and vein are attached, the blood flow through these vessels will be checked for bleeding at the suture lines.
After the surgery, the patient's blood pressure, pulse, and breathing will be monitored. In time, the patient will be moved out of the ICU to a regular nursing unit as you recover. Kidney transplant usually calls for 7 days in the hospital. After the patient leaves the hospital, close monitoring is necessary for a few weeks. They will need blood tests several times a week and have their medications adjusted in the weeks following the transplant. Drugs called immunosuppressants (anti-rejection medications) help keep the immune system from attacking and rejecting your new kidney. Additional drugs help reduce the risk of other complications, such as infection, after your transplant.
Let EasyCure help you
Q. How many days will I take to recover?
A. Hospital recovery time after a kidney transplant is usually 5 to 10 days if there are no complications. The length of stay depends on the patient's medical condition and needs. You will spend 24-48 hours in intensive care immediately after surgery.
Q. How long do I have to take immunosuppressants for?
A. The patient will have to take immunosuppressants for the prevention of organ rejection for their entire lives.

Top ten per a Lowes després d'un dramàtic dia a Assen pel Voltcom Crescent Suzuki
El pilot Alex Lowes va aconseguir una brillnat novena posició en la segona mànega de la carrera a Assen després d'un matí gris a la primera carreraStrong starts in both the day's 21-lap races had seen Lowes circulating in fifth, before succumbing to the engine brake setting issue that had hampered his weekend. His impressive pace in the afternoon's contest – setting a fastest lap on his third revolution and continuing to run with the front group for the first six laps – highlighted the progress made with the Yoshimura-powered machines, however, his four place drop due to running wide at turn one acknowledged there is more work to be done. Despite this, the British racer continued his charge at the Cathedral of Speed, progressing to eighth for the concluding six laps, and holding off the Ducati of Xavi Fores before he was caught on the final revolution to take ninth, and seven Championship points. The morning's battle had begun in a similar vein, with Lowes making a great start before being relegated to 13th on the second lap. A fairly solitary and uneventful mid-race looked to be granting him the valuable information needed to continue the team's progression with the GSX-R's new systems, before another unfortunate, but seemingly harmless, run-on at the first corner on lap nine became an unexpected accident. De Puniet – running three places behind Lowes – crashed under braking into Haarbocht on the same lap, collecting his teammate in the aftermath. The Crescent team quickly responded by preparing the second race bike for the afternoon encounter, however, the Frenchman's day did not improve. With the continuing set-up issues apparent from the start, de Puniet retired the GSX-R1000 on the sixth lap. An expectant 50,000 strong crowd saw Kawasaki's Jonathan Rea claim both fourth round victories to extend his lead on the Championship, with local hero Michael van der Mark (Honda) securing his debut WSBK podium with a double third. Voltcom Crescent Suzuki now heads back to the UK for two weeks of continued evaluation and preparation ahead of the Acerbis Italian Round at Imola on Sunday 10th May. Alex Lowes: "Today was always going to be difficult but I gave it my best right to the end. It's our first top ten with the new system which is positive, especially as no one else crashed so it's a genuine result. We ran strongly for the first few laps of race two, until I got caught out entering turn one, so obviously still need to improve, but we've all done our best so we can be happy with that. Thanks to all the team for working so hard, we've got some good information to go on now so we will continue to push forward together and see what we can achieve at Imola." Randy de Puniet: "I don't know what to say, we have struggled in every session for the whole weekend. During race one I was running quite well and close to Alex after his mistake, my lap time was good but I was at the limit because I was unable to stop the bike how I need to. I crashed at turn one and hit Alex as I hit the gravel. Luckily we are not injured but the frame of my bike was completely destroyed and we needed to use the spare bike for the second race. As I had never used this bike before we still had problems with engine brake, connection and front suspension, I was running 16th/17th and was not confident, so I decided to stop instead of risking crashing again." Paul Denning – Team Manager: "We have made some limited progress with the new ECU system this weekend but we still face some fundamental issues, particularly with the engine brake control, that have made it very difficult for the riders to race rather than simply ride. "For Alex making smooth laps on his own in practice has generated some competitive lap times but those have flattered the level of the bike when it comes to being adaptable in racing conditions. The main positives from Assen are that we have moved forward and we understand more about the next steps and priorities, the fact that neither rider was hurt in a very frightening and very scary collision in race one, and Alex's performance in race two where he ran with the front group until the engine brake issue caught him out into turn one. The way he regrouped and set the sixth fastest lap of the race is another affirmation that when things are right we will be straight back in the fight with the front group. "Randy made the decision to stop in race two – both riders were under instruction not to take any risks, we need to get the bike right and we need two fit, motivated riders when that happens. We will be doing absolutely everything in our power to make sure that we use the next two weeks before Imola to arrive in Italy with a properly competitive GSX-R."

4 Clues That We ALL Might Have Missed About Meghan Markel's Pregnancy
Let's just say we should have seen it coming...
15 October 2018
Just days after Princess Eugenie's wedding, we have more happy news from the royal family – as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have announced they are expecting a baby in spring 2019.
The couple were wed back in May, and now they have landed in Australia for their first tour outside the UK and Ireland. Considering how closely the public keeps an eye on all things royal, the news comes as something of a surprise.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, so many of us are asking the question: what clues have we missed in recent weeks that might have hinted at Meghan's pregnancy?
1. Her fashion choices have changed
Chances are Meghan's pregnancy is in the very early stages, so it's unlikely she'll have much of a bump at this point. However, there's no doubt that her body would have started to change, and this is reflected in her fashion.
At Princess Eugenie's wedding this weekend, not only did Meghan avoid walking up to the church in full view of photographers (instead opting for her car to drop her off closer to the door), but she was also wearing a Givenchy wool dress and coat combination that covered up any potential bump she might be showing.
Looking back at Meghan's outfits in recent months, there's been a definite shift towards the demure. At the end of August, Meghan attended a wedding in a gently pleated Club Monaco dress. At this point, she was unlikely to be showing, but the loose nature of the outfit would likely have made her feel more comfortable in her rapidly changing body.
The end of September was unseasonably warm in the UK, so perhaps we should have clocked on to Meghan's happy news when she insisted on wearing a blue Smythe coat to an event launching a charity cookbook to raise money for victims of the Grenfell Tower fire.
Another telling fashion choice was Meghan's outfit to the Coach Core Awards at Loughborough University a few weeks ago. The Duchess went for a peplum Oscar de la Renta navy top which was artfully draped to hide her midriff.
2. She's been conscious of her midriff
Not only have Meghan's outfits been geared towards covering up her middle, but her body language has been particularly telling as well.
At many recent public engagements, the Duchess's arms have often been folded, demonstrating a new consciousness of her belly and a keen sense of protectiveness.
3. Her hairdo has changed
The Duchess is renowned for her luscious locks which always have a particularly covetable bounce. However, she recently changed up her signature look and debuted poker straight hair during that visit to Loughborough University.
4. The couple have been very close
As you can probably imagine with any newlyweds who have just found out they are expecting their first baby, Meghan and Harry look over the moon. In their recent public engagements the couple have been very close, and have been showing this off with their body language.
At Princess Eugenie's wedding, people noted how protective Harry was over Meghan – he constantly had an arm round her and was hyper-conscious of her wellbeing.
Not only this, but the Duchess is glowing. It's a bit too early to see if she's got a bump, but there's no denying she looks happy.

Kolbe magic: Step by step
VIDEO AND PICTURE ANALYSIS: Cheslin Kolbe put the seal on South Africa's famous 32-12 World Cup win over England in Yokohama at the weekend.
England went into the Final as favourites.
South Africa emerged as commanding and deserved winners.
The Springboks' victory was built on a colossal display by their powerhouse pack that allowed flyhalf Handre Pollard to kick six penalties, before Makazole Mapimpi's 66th-minute try – the first the Springboks had scored in a World Cup final – and another from fit-again fellow flyer Kolbe put the result beyond doubt.
The result meant South Africa equalled New Zealand's three World Cup triumphs. They won it in 1995, 12 years later in 2007, and 12 years later once more in 2019.
England failed to score a try for the first time at the 2019 tournament, while the 20-point victory margin was the biggest since 1999 – when Australia beat France 35-12.
The win also saw South Africa become the first team to win a World Cup having lost in pool play, with the Springboks beaten by New Zealand in their Japan 2019 opener.
However, it was the Kolbe try in the 75th minute that deserves special attention.
Tinus le Roux takes us through the Kolbe special, step-by-step.

2.Look inside to sum up the pace and potential pace of each individual defender.

4. Once the 1st defender is set you need to set the 2nd one, but there is only 1 way to do this: Accelerate towards touch with the 3 meters at your disposal and make him believe you're going on the outside.
You must make him believe, so your body weight and hips NEED to sell it. pic.twitter.com/KRLhsVyvyw

6. Break the tackle of the much bigger defender.
While you do that, scan the inside to establish the next threat. pic.twitter.com/BSPR1EEOzC

Isolationism is essentially when a country is isolated from others, in the 1920's it is said that America was one of these isolated countries. However, telling by the participation in the Dawes plan (1924), The Kellogg-Briand Pact (1928) and the Young Plan, America shows a non-isolated behaviour. Then again, America also showed an isolated side by remaining out of World Affairs and the League of Nations. They also presented a Republican Attitude by having Republican Presidents. This was known as the Republic Era.
USA Presidents of the 1920's in the "Republican Era"

A photo of Ruth Negga in Jeff Nichols' Loving (via The Hollywood Reporter)
The Facts
This Year
Negga has
Awards: N/A
Nominations: N/A
About the Film
Role: Mildred Loving, a black woman whose marriage to Richard Loving (Joel Edgerton), a white man, lands both in prison in 1958 Virginia
- Cannes Film Festival – World Premiere; In Competition (May 2016)
U.S. Distributor: Focus Features
U.S. Release Date: Nov. 6, 2016 (limited)
U.S. Box Office: N/A
Why? Negga looks to have one hell of a breakthrough year, between this Cannes-bound interracial-marriage drama, AMC's Preacher, and (even) Warcraft. If she's the emotional center in Loving, expect her to compete for the win.
Why not? Maybe Loving disappoints? Even if it doesn't, 2013 brought us two critically-acclaimed and one somewhat liked films about race relations, all looking like awards plays at one point or another; only one made it to the Oscars. With The Birth of a Nation and Moonlight also in the mix, will Loving make it to the end? And Focus showed us last year that they aren't above laughable category fraud, so maybe they push Negga to supporting.
Ranking: No. 2 as of Apr. 16, 2016

|Tareq Hasan
|Good morning! I purchased the WPUF Pro developer two days ago after chatting with your support team to make sure it met my client's needs, and by our chat it sounded like it was the perfect match. I installed and started configuring and can't understand exactly if I'm doing something wrong or if the plugin will NOT meet what we need. Can you please help me? The site I'm developing is for the company I work for (Whirlpool Corporation) and it will be visible for employees only - under our firewall. To get to the site, employees will need to use their username/password to sign in the private Whirlpool system and view the site. We are making every employee "role" as Subscribers, so they can view the sign. If user Subscriber wants to contribute to the site, they will need to upgrade user status to "Author" (with capabilities to upload posts) by filling out the form and agreeing to the terms. I'm trying to accomplish all of that with WPUF Pro but I'm having issues. 1. I created a subscription package. When I click on Buy Now it says "No payment gateway found". How do I configure that? They shouldn't have to pay anything, that's why I configured to $0. 2. Then I thought I should create a registration form, but what's the different between a subscription package and a registration form? I saw that the registration form settings let's you pick the New User Role, so I chose "Author" because employees should "update" their roles from Subscriber to Author to be able to contribute to the site. When I put the registration code to the page it says "You are already logged in". Well, I'm logged in as a Subscriber and the form is configured to update users to author right? So what's the issue? Also, how can I get to the registration form without being logging in? 3. All that done, I have created a form so users can post on the front end and submit posts without going to the backend. How is this form only going to let Authors post? 4. I'll need to change the css colors because it doesn't match with my theme. Will you say the best way to do that is by going to the Editor tab? I really appreciate your help and look forward to your instructions. I'm lost and confused and I have a deadline to meet this coming week. Can you please help me? thank you, Mariane
July 19, 2013 at 6:41 pm 6131
Hello Mariane,
Sorry to hear that you are having trouble. According to previous conversation here You should get all above answers.
However, here i am going through again –
1. Active manual/Bank transfer gateway with instruction. As, you dont want to charge your employees – currently this is the best way till next major release come out where this step will be skipped (as @tareq mentioned).
2. User role has nothing to do here. Thats why WPUF plugin comes out isn't it ? It doesn't matter User is Subscriber or Author – by using WPUF they can always submit post from frontend.
3. I dont think this is necessary for your project when you active Subscription post ONLY, but check this post here for solution.
4. take WPUF classes and add on your theme's style.css file.
Let us know if you have any further question.
July 23, 2013 at 2:06 am 6217
Hi staff, please bare with me. I don't really understand your answers above (#1, #2, and #3). It seems like we are talking about different things. Is it possible we have a BRIEF chat over the phone? I imagine this is not usual to ask but I'd appreciate extra help, if possible. I can give you my office number – It'd only take 5 minutes.
July 23, 2013 at 2:37 am 6219
Better to talk over Skype. Here is my ID – mahi.wedevs
July 24, 2013 at 1:01 am 6264
When I go to the Registration form, under settings, what does "New User Role" mean? What am I suppose to choose there? I'm getting an issue saying "You are already logged in!"
July 24, 2013 at 2:40 am 6266
|Tareq Hasan
You can't see the registration form while you are logged in.
"New User Role" means what will be the registered user role? Subscriber, Contributor, Author, Editor or Administrator?

These are a few tips on how to have loyal customers for your farm fresh egg business.
- Engage your customers and children and talk to them about poultry.
- If there is a hen that lays a particular type of egg (color, shape) you can talk to them about this hen.
- Share images of the different types of hens that you have.
- A loyalty card which is initialed each time they purchase a dozen eggs. Once they buy 5 dozen they get one dozen free and a new card.
- Give them a coupon ($1 off of 1 dozen). It can have an expiration date.
- 10 cent off a doz if they bring their cartons back or replace the carton with a new one.

Hiring in the rapidly evolving financial services sector here presents a decidedly mixed picture. On the one hand, human resource firms report that banks and other financial institutions are still hiring for certain roles. But on the other, banks are furiously shedding some jobs or moving out of Singapore altogether.
London-based Barclays is cutting about 100 jobs from its information technology operation in Singapore as part of moves to reduce costs, Bloomberg reported on Monday.
The Straits Times understands the bank is moving, rather than cutting, a number of positions from here to its office in India, which covers global functions and are not specific to its work here. The bank wants to take advantage of lower costs as part of efforts to lift operating efficiency. Some staff may relocate to India, and the move is expected to be done over several phases by the end of the year.
Asked for updates, the bank said in a statement: "Barclays continually seeks ways to improve the efficiency of our operating model and meet our commitment on costs and returns for shareholders. In May, we relocated some global technology roles out of Singapore to existing technology hubs, such as India."
On Monday, it said it has identified additional roles involving global activity in Singapore which can be relocated, and said "roles will fall away in Singapore". It added it is working closely with those affected.
This could also have been a result of technical or information technology roles, especially for contract staff, becoming more costly.
Number of jobs Barclays is cutting from its IT operation in Singapore
Number of jobs Standard Chartered said last year that it would axe in retail banking
ManpowerGroup Singapore country manager Linda Teo noted: "As some technical or IT roles are hard to fill in the first place, foreign banks would increase salaries of their existing staff or offer other perks and benefits to retain them. While some banks have their own compensation schemes, salary increments generally range from 3 per cent to 5 per cent."
Mr Frazer Wilson, regional managing partner for the financial services practice at executive recruiter Heidrick & Struggles, said the Asean financial services sector has been hit more by the slowdown in China, through the early part of this year.
Many traditional consumer and wholesale banking businesses that have a large exposure to Asean economies remain challenged, he said.
It certainly shows, with firms such as ANZ Banking Group reviewing its retail operations in Asia, which could mean more movement of jobs, while Standard Chartered said in January last year it would close its global equities business and axe 4,000 jobs in retail banking.
However, despite the gloom, hiring still goes on. Ms Teo said local and foreign banks are still ramping up their headcounts, but only for certain positions - usually frontline and sales positions such as financial sales consultants, personal bankers and direct sales officers. "Frontline and sales positions tend to have higher attrition compared to other roles, which explains why banks are still hiring for these positions."
Mr Wilson also said a lot of hiring continues to focus on risk, compliance, and also digital transformation, in line with a global change in these sectors and business models, as financial institutions compete with disruptors.
He added: "Singapore head office institutions that operate outside Singapore, and who are committed to their offshore expansion, are still hiring senior leaders into their businesses." This is particularly the case in asset management and private equity.
These trends are in line with what local banks are doing, with OCBC Bank and United Overseas Bank noting a huge potential in wealth management.
A DBS Bank spokesman said: "In Singapore, some of the areas we have been hiring for include retail banking, wealth management as well as key support functions such as technology and operations, finance, risk and compliance."
The spokesman added that as the bank embarks on its digital journey, it is also hiring more UX (user experience) designers, coders, engineers and data analysts.
Correction Note: An earlier version of the pullout figures in the story said that Standard Chartered would be cutting 4,000 jobs from its its global equities business. This is incorrect. Standard Chartered will be cutting 4,000 jobs in retail banking. We are sorry for the error.

I picked up three of Gamecraft Miniatures' 15mm scale MDF terrain pieces during one of their recent sales. The ones I purchased were made for Ambush Alley's Tomorrow's War game. That said, there is nothing so distinctive about these pieces that they can't be used for any futuristic game.
This particular piece is a Small Cargo Module (15MTW031). Not being familiar with assembling and painting MDF, I decided to use it as a test piece before working on the other two (which will be seen in a later post).
The piece came unassembled in a plastic bag. I noticed a strong, smoky smell immediately after unsealing the bag. This is to be expected as the parts are laser cut wood. It wasn't unpleasant, but the smell was still noticeable days after taking the parts out of the package.
Assembly was straightforward. Test fitting revealed that the parts fit together well. The piece went together quickly and without a struggle. I used super glue to hold the parts together during assembly. After the super glue set completely, I applied watered down craft glue to the seams to strengthen the piece and to seal any gaps.
Although it is called the Small Cargo Module, the piece is a good size for a terrain piece. It is big enough to provide cover, influence maneuver, and effect lines of sight. It is also small enough to be added in without dominating the board or getting in the way as players move and measure.
The assembled piece is very durable. It survived getting knocked off my desk without damage. This piece should survive years of gaming with nothing more than touching up the paint.
Painting took longer than I expected. Online research suggested that priming would not be necessary and that the best approach would be multiple layers of thinned paint. The MDF absorbed the initial layer while barely changing color. It ultimately took four layers until I was happy with the coverage of the basecoat.
My initial concerns with filling in the laser etched details on the piece proved unfounded. The etching is deep enough not to be effected by the layers of thinned paint. I did apply some Reaper Black Wash (09255) over the etching to being out the details a little more, just in case.
The next step was highlighting. I gently brushed on a thinned down linen color over the medium gray basecoat. I paid particular attention to the upper edges where light would catch on a real structure.
Finally, I detailed and weathered the piece. I used some thinned down Reaper Black Wash to simulate shadows in between and below the panels. Some thinned down Reaper Brown Wash (09254) went into the lower parts of the piece to represent the build up of soil and dust over time.
I'm pretty happy with the piece. Its price is offset by its quality, durability, and utility. It would not look out of place as part of a near-future location here on Earth or in a far-future space colony or industrial world.

A company aspires to be more than just a business. The goal is not to create and sell one item to one specific person, but to develop a unique collection of products and/or services in which to supply many people. This is how a company achieves the ranks of an Amazon or Apple which began selling one product (books and computers) to now offering a variety of products and services that people use daily.
A teenager should aspire to be more than just a student. Yes, of course grades and academic achievements are important to colleges, but more and more, we are starting to understand that proactive students or "game changers" are getting a lot of consideration.
Now more than ever, colleges want to evolve with the times and offer something to students that makes that college a unique institution. Mr. Johnson, Dean of Admission for the University of Tulsa, is asking the same in return; that a student bring something special to his school that the next student to be interviewed may not be able to.
The College Board suggests these 6 individual qualities that colleges are looking for:
A willingness to take risks
A sense of social responsibility
A commitment to service
Special talents or abilities
Below is an example of a College Achievement Table. It's separated into 4 quadrants which will give you a better perspective on your level of activity and involvement both on-campus and off-campus. Fill out the table and review the outcome with a family member, teacher, or counselor. Remember, this exercise should be used as a starting point to help focus on what makes your brand unique. You may not be able to completely fill up your table just yet but you should learn what areas to focus on. For example, if you are low on extra-curricular activities at school but have many interests and passions, talk to a teacher or student representative about starting a club or organization for people who share your interests and goals.
It's important to note that this exercise should be used early in your high school career. If you wait too long to start building your brand, college admission decision makers will think that you are loading up on extracurriculars and AP classes as a last ditch effort to show involvement or raise your GPA. I recommend starting this process as a high school freshman so that you have plenty of time to achieve everything you want in each of the 4 areas.
The College Achievement Table is just one of the exercises that can be found in the College Application Mastery Program (CAMP) but you can download this exercise for free right now.

With all the power housed between the axles, and the ability to start with a clean sheet of paper, Jaguar produced a vehicle like no other.
Incorporating the smooth silhouette of a coupe in an SUV the design features sweeping lines, large wheels and muscular rear haunches. It brings together sports car aesthetics and an SUV presence.
The interior accentuates the unique design quality of this game changing Jaguar. Moving the driver forward it allowed for full five passenger comfort and 19 cubic feet of storage, to make sure it offered the space that is expected of an SUV.

The Mercedes-Benz GLC43 AMGWednesday, November 9th, 2016
The three most powerful letters of the alphabet have made their way onto the back of Mercedes-Benz's most award-winning crossover, the GLC-Class. The all-new 2017 Mercedes-AMG GLC43 stares the Audi SQ5 square in the face. It's on like grey poupon, filet mignon, and donkey kong. In terms of speedy crossovers, few do it as well as Audi. Somehow they've always been able to master the art of putting power to the ground, thanks to their advanced Quattro all-wheel drive system. This year, Mercedes-Benz took a crack at it. With a 362-horsepower twin turbo V6 engine and proven 4MATIC rear-wheel biased four wheel drive, the GLC43 AMG gives the long-reigning Audi some stiff competition. Also in the AMG's line of fire are the Porsche Macan S and Jaguar F-Pace S, which are available for comparison and purchase at our dealership.
AMG has enhanced the driving dynamics of the GLC to make it feel more car-like to drive while retaining the seating position and practicality crossover utility customers want. This thing is an absolute blast to drive and look at. The first one arrived in Kansas City via transport truck last week and is being prepared for its new owner. Will that owner be you?
Pairing Homelink in Your Mercedes-BenzWednesday, November 9th, 2016
Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with Homelink are very simple to set up. Inside your Mercedes-Benz vehicle, you will notice three buttons on the bottom of your rearview mirror. Those buttons have the ability to open three different garage doors. Setup is easy. Simply hold down one of the three buttons until a light starts flashing yellow. Hold your garage door remote up to the mirror and press the button on the remote and on the mirror simultaneously. When the light underneath the mirror flashes in green, the pairing is complete and you're ready to go.
Some garage door openers may require you to exit the vehicle and push a button on the opener motor. In this case, a ladder may be required for you to access the pairing button on the garage system. Once you have pushed the button on your garage door motor, you generally have around one minute to enter your vehicle and hold down your desired button under the mirror. When the light turns to a solid red, pairing is completed and successful.
Pairing Bluetooth to a Mercedes-BenzWednesday, November 9th, 2016
Pairing your Bluetooth device to your Mercedes-Benz is possibly one of the easiest tasks when setting up your vehicle. A video explaining the process is available on our YouTube page for those of you who are visual learners. First, turn the vehicle to Accessory Mode or all the way on. Next, press the "on hook" button on your steering wheel. The voice command will give you a list of prompts. Of those options, select "pair new device." Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device. At this time, both the vehicle and your device will search for each other. After they have finally found each other and true love… wait, maybe not. Select "MB Bluetooth" and the car and phone will sync and live in perfect harmony.
Bluetooth is a very important convenience and safety device. Please do not text and drive. A call may be less convenient or awkward in some cases, but looking away from the road is not worth your life or anyone else's. With voice recognition technology, your Mercedes-Benz can do the communicating for you. If you have any further questions, please contact us through our website.

Caught in crunch time? Whether you are studying a night before a big test, reviewing notes up to the last second, winging a paper due in an hour, or making last minute changes on your project, here's the perfect Cramming 101 guide for you!
1. DO go off the grid
Disconnect from your social media accounts or the internet in general. Deactivate your accounts if it helps. Unplug your internet connection or even go on airplane mode. Focus on accomplishing your pending tasks and reward yourself later.
2. DO compartmentalize
Organize your tasks from the easiest to the most difficult ones and start from the easiest. To save you from getting tired easily, you may adapt the Pomodoro technique – work for 25 minutes straight, then have a 5-minute break, after the 4th Pomodoro, take a long 15-minute break. This way you can reduce distractions and interruptions, smoothly finishing your task while having the time to breathe and refresh.
3. DO go on study dates
Gather your friends for a study date! Quiz each other using flash cards or mock exams. You can also tutor your classmate or your friend to reinforce the concepts you know. This way, you won't just review your classmate but yourself as well.
4. DON'T overload
Don't try to read a book from cover to cover in just one night. Just focus on the important concept and main points. Overloading your brain with information may cause confusion or even anxiety when you take the exam itself as various concepts scatter in your brain and you'll be left with pinpointing which topic is the answer to which.
5. (Probably) DON'T do it again
Cramming can help you ace your exam but the information is just retained temporarily. Your brain stores cramming-obtained information into short-term memory thus if your exam is about concepts that you would need for your other subjects or future career, you would have to do a more in-depth studying.
Start planning your schedule and compartmentalizing your tasks and priorities so you won't have to beat deadlines anymore. This way, you'll get more things done, more leisure time, less cramming, and fewer worries.

5 Factors – Success with Entrepreneur Training Online. One writer and part-time entrepreneur have made a list of five factors that are important when choosing online training courses for entrepreneurs. A link to the writers very long and very good article is in the below information. He says What sets the best online business courses apart from the tens of thousands of mediocre courses out there in the world are these five factors: 1. The instructor has actually done what they're teaching. Any online business course instructor that hasn't practiced what they're preaching in the course — if they haven't used their own system, applied their own tactics to get positive results — and shown you clear proof of that before enrolling in their course, they're misleading students in some way. You need to learn from instructors that have real experience doing what you're trying to achieve yourself. Check out my month-long challenge where I publicly validated a business idea before building a course on the topic.

Whether you have direct access to the instructor for video coaching calls, group Q&A's or membership in a private Facebook group, the best online business courses all have a level of accountability that goes far above the average "video only" course. The reality is that 100% of people who take online business courses will fail at some point — you'll hit roadblocks, run into challenges, make mistakes—and having accountability from your instructor or a larger community of other students going through the course with you is what's going to get you back on track. 3. Multiple points of view are a must. Any online business course that's teaching you a particular skill, strategy or system in a complete vacuum without the input and experience of other experts in the field won't be very well-rounded. All of the best online business courses I've taken have featured interviews, case studies, and contributions from other industry experts & entrepreneurs who bring their own unique experiences and viewpoints to the table—which helps add more perspective and even more years of real-life experience for students to learn from. This has become a core component of my own online business courses too.

4. Student results are the ultimate success metric. You can have all the best camera equipment, content outlines and presentation slides in the world, but unless the students are able to translate the information into real action—the online business course isn't worth the investment. You need to take action (not kick back and watch a bunch of videos) in order to build skills, start a blog, launch a business, become a better writer or achieve another meaningful goal. If you can't find testimonials from previous students that clearly articulate what they've been able to achieve as a result of taking this online business course, run for the hills. Clear takeaways are explained up front. The best online business courses have a very clear, the well-defined end result that students will be able to achieve by making it through the course — and they communicate that up front before enrollment. Here's an example: With my latest online business course, 30 Days to Validate, the promise for students is that they'll be able to go from idea to first paying customers in 30 days. The writer – Ryan Robson in his article say – I'm a writer and part-time entrepreneur. Ryan built his last side business with success in 1 year while working a full-time job, and he'll show you how to do it too. Visit this article he wrote 101 Best Online Business Courses for Entrepreneurs, Creatives and Professionals (Free & Cheap) in 2018 – you will get plenty of good information by reading this story.

Does gratitude have a place to play in resilience?
An interesting study just published in the journal, Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy, looked at recovery rates of people traumatised following campus shootings in the US and Norway and what helped the most.
Trauma – it's not all negative
What recent research has discovered is that trauma is not all negative. Most of us will experience a trauma at some point in our lives, even if it is not as dramatic as a terrorist incident, warfare or a college shooting as was the focus of this study. The death of a loved one, the loss of a job, an assault or an accident are all examples of traumatic incidents.
Two post-trauma responses
Post-traumatic responses fall into two categories:
- Post-Traumatic Stress, and
- Post-Traumatic Growth.

ADP finds private sector added 178,000 jobs in July
Private sector employers created 178,000 jobs last month, according to payroll giant ADP, with gains seen in all sizes of businesses and most industries, except manufacturing.
Small businesses added 50,000 jobs last month, including 27,000 at businesses with between one and 19 employees and 22,000 at businesses with between 20 and 49 employees. Midsize businesses with between 50 and 499 employees added 83,000 jobs in July. Large businesses gained 45,000 jobs, including 35,000 in companies with between 500 and 999 employees, and 10,000 in organizations with 1,000 employees or more.
The service-providing sector added 174,000 jobs, including 65,000 in professional and business services, which includes accounting, tax preparation and other services. The financial activities sector added 13,000 jobs.
The goods-producing sector added 4,000 jobs. However, while the construction industry gained 6,000 jobs and the natural resources and mining industry added 3,000 jobs, the manufacturing industry lost 4,000 jobs.
"It was another solid month for the job market," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, which compiles the monthly national employment report with ADP, during a conference call with reporters Wednesday. "Job growth of almost 180K in private sector payrolls is very consistent with the average monthly job growth we've been getting for this year. It's pretty much what we've been getting for the past eight years of almost consecutive monthly job growth—a record—and in that time job growth has averaged just under 200K."
However, ADP and Moody's are seeing an impact on wage growth and productivity growth as the workforce ages and Baby Boomers remain working.
"Our sense of it is that the aging of the workforce is subtracting at least a quarter point per annum from wage growth and productivity growth, and at least half a point from wage and productivity growth," said Zandi. "This is not going away. The aging of the Boomer cohort is going to continue for some time, at least over the next 10 to 15 years, so this aging weight upon productivity and wage growth will remain in place for a considerable period."
For now, he doesn't see any immediate impact from the tax reform and health care reform efforts in Washington.
"No change in policy on taxes and health care means no real impact on the economy or the labor market," said Zandi. "It's the status quo for the most part, assuming that the health care system doesn't fall apart. Barring that, the status quo in policy means the status quo for the economy."
However, he believes policymakers in Congress will soon need to pass a budget, or at least a continuing resolution, and raise the debt limit by early October or else the Treasury won't be able to pay all its bills, which would be highly disruptive. "I would call that a cataclysmic result," said Zandi.
Zandi does see some positive benefits from tax reform, though. "If they're able to pass tax reform, which means lowering marginal rates and roughly paying for it, meaning don't borrow money to pay for the tax cuts, that would be a plus for the economy," he said. "Not next quarter or even next year, but over a decade or two, businesses would invest more, and that would add to productivity and potential economic growth. Also, if policymakers were able to address our convoluted corporate tax system around taxation of overseas earnings and move from a worldwide system to something that's much more territorial, that also would be a plus."

Love our Friends.
We are home now, we just got back
from several days at the coast.
We were lucky to have our friends join
us for some fun on the beach.
Our girls get along great, they had the
best time together.
These girls like to play IN the ocean,
my girls usually stay away from the water,
well not any more. Now they both want
to spend every second in it, that's a lot of
work with a two year old!
The girls loved playing jump into the bean
bags, that's always a hit, with everyone.
These girls are so funny, sweet & silly!
We love our friends!

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for November 2013.
Once again, I choose happiness! My mind is still blown by the reality that it's simply been a choice all along. No luck, no waiting for it to come. Just choose it now. Now! "Later" is just more talk. I love that many people keep reminding me of this free choice, because sometimes I forget, and happiness is way more fun!
Sure it takes practice. A pattern of negativity, whining and pouting doesn't morph into refreshingly optimistic gratitude in an instant. Good things come to those who persevere!
I can't deny that there are always beautiful, impressive, awe-inspiring things, thoughts, people, places and events wherever I am. The stark reality is that whether I appreciate and richly experience them is limited or enabled by my mind. My attitude, my openness, my closed-mindedness, my willingness and my awareness levels are key. Living fully is an option for all of us.
It's not their fault or credit that you're the way you are. Whatever, whomever and whenever. They can define you. Or not.
It's a great opportunity!
What a bunch of blessings!
A week ago, I sought refreshment via a four-day break from work. Today, if felt like I was dying from self-inflicted trauma! These days "off" can be so hard!
I was disappointed in Washington State's loss on the gridiron on Halloween night. Arizona State's senior laden team was too strong for WSU. C'est la vie! It reminded me to appreciate ASU's magnificence instead of dwelling on WSU's inferiority. It was a perfect opportunity to detach from outcomes.
The following day, Nick and I lifted weights before attending Improvised Shakespeare, a taste of Chicago. The actors delivered vivid reminders of the cultural wonders of university life. Their quick wit, dramatic delivery and flowing humor were impressive, especially since it was all improvisation. After someone from the audience suggested "Naked in the forest" as the play's title, Nick and I had our minds expanded and our souls enriched. I am grateful to Nick for offering me "one last chance" to attend the play with him, as I had planned to attend the men's basketball game instead. I benefit greatly from diversity in my life. We found treasure in a place where he merely sought extra credit for his Shakespeare class. My heart smiled broadly!
I spent last Saturday watching more football and the first season of "House of Cards." It's a well done show and a great example of how not to be. It seemed a bit too lazy of a day. I recalled lethargic slumps in my early life. Hmmm. I've run a fair amount, but it still called to me. I knew it'd bring me peace and satisfaction. As always, it did! I went ten miles since that was the length of today's race. Last Sunday, I spent over ten minutes on the first mile and nearly twenty minutes for the first two. Having warmed up, I ran some miles between 8.5 and 9 minutes per mile. Then I finished with my best mile of 8:15. That surprised me a little, because I was feeling pretty tired after six or eight miles. Ten miles took 1:29:50. 8:59 per mile average, on a slightly hilly course.
Today's Columbia River Classic was a different story. Annie took it out pretty fast, so I followed her. After all, the first half was downstream, so a likely time to post some good miles! And so we did: 7:55, 8:20, 8:27, 8:32. "Hey!", said my ego. 8:18 average per mile for the first four. On an out and back course, the leaders didn't pass me until after I was over 4 miles in. It was fun to watch them run! Maybe I could hit my 85 minute dream time? Well, not today. 8:51, 8:50, 8:54. The beauty of those miles were the beauties that passed me!
Early on, it felt like I was truly racing, striding with ease, passing people, glowing in the sun. Now I was trudging. My body couldn't quite deliver what my mind dreamed up. 9:15, 9:12. Looking over my shoulder. Were Mark and Annie about to pass me? Mental games. Walking sounds really good. Go! GO! Look, some people are walking. When your legs get tired, run with your heart! Maybe just a short walk, like the woman I'm playing leapfrog with. No wimping out! Well, I've slowed down so much, I won't hit my goal time, so it'd probably be okay to walk. Get your lazy ass moving! Is it really worth it? Do you want remorse all winter? Well, maybe that'd be good for keeping my ego in check. Ready to eat crow?
The nine mile mark. Only one mile to go. Those perverts! Who puts the biggest hill at the END of a race? Sick bastards…… Someone's gaining on me….. NO! This is a fricking race! So I gave it all I had. I think I sped up a bit. I guess that beats slowing down some more! 8:52….finish…..water…..my feet really hurt…..Yay! I survived another day. I kicked my ass! 1:27:07 or so. 8:43 average per mile. Nearly three minutes faster than last week. This speeding up plan is going to be some HARD work! But it's worth it. Because I got to sit and talk with Mark and Annie, drinking coffee that Mark treated us to. It was so fun! Those two are really funny! And it wasn't the last race of the year. We challenged each other to the Cable Bridge Run in December. Another motivator! Let's get our run on! 🙂
Who? Who? Who? Who?
Songs get stuck in my head. This three-letter question is key to me. It can open doors I really want opened. I simply need to figure out where they lead!
Proactive living is considerably different from reactive living. Making this change involves diving inside, deeper and deeper. When I find ugly, scary, lazy or arrogant, I can work to replace them with beauty, faith, dedication and openness. Because everyone wins!
I can expand my mind, if I'm honest and willing. I can learn, experience and believe. I believe that I can become more compassionate, wise, adventurous, dedicated, considerate, athletic and fun. More and more of the same thinking, activities and stubbornness aren't likely to get it done. Surrender, faith and willingness to try new ways of thinking and experience new places and people and activities can really help.
I want better. I mean, my life is great! It's gotten better each year. But I want better! Why not?

More than a working method, a philosophy
Here are some of the key concepts of the approach that jive with our priorities here at Promutuel Assurance :
- The company must prioritize a long-term strategy and focus on its overall goals..
- Only the customer can define the value of a product or service..
- Any activity that contributes to creating a product or service has added value; any other activity represents a waste that must be reduced or eliminated.
- Processes must be implemented so as to allow for changes, i.e., eliminating any wait times, obstacles and constraints affecting the smooth running of operations.
- Lean management helps to constantly improve working processes, and therefore customer service!
- The management framework aims to ensure employees are skilled in the processes through direct supervision, management routines and visual indicators, all of which help to improve performance.
Why is an insurer implementing Lean management?
- To ensure rapid, optimum service for customers
- To boost employee motivation
- To improve productivity
Lean management at Promutuel Insurance
Promutuel Insurance uses Lean methods in its Insurance and Information Systems departments.
What does this approach look like in practice?
Routine meetings are organized on a daily basis for employees, coordinators and managers. These short, structured meetings provide a forum for developing and presenting work plans, monitoring progress and ensuring any necessary adjustments are made in order to promote a culture of continuous improvement.
Testimonial by Catherine Bertrand, Senior Actuarial Analyst at Promutuel Insurance
Catherine, are you "Lean compatible" and, if so, what have you gained from this working method?
"Yes! I am 'Lean compatible' for a whole bunch of reasons, but here is what immediately springs to mind for me:
- I feel my work is more organized and more structured.
- I deliver my work on time thanks to a detailed schedule that sets out all the target needs.
- My supervisors are more accessible on a daily basis because of our meetings every morning.
- - I have a better idea of what the other people in my team are working on, what their needs are, and when the rush periods during the week tend to be.
Basically, this approach helps me to rationalize my work and focus on the essential so I can relax in the knowledge I'm moving projects along. It was only recently that we started using these working methods at Promutuel Insurance, but I have to say I'm a big fan so far!"
Testimonial by Simon Poitras, Director of Continuous Improvement and Business Solutions at Promutuel Insurance and Lean management expert
Simon, are you "Lean compatible"?
«Oui ! Je suis totalement « lean compatible ». "Yes! I am totally 'Lean compatible'! In fact, I'm an engineer who specializes in continuous improvement and I was an in-house project manager when we rolled out the initial phase for Lean management in the Insurance department here. In my current role, I'm responsible for the sustainability of the Lean approach and for implementing phases 2 and 3 in the Insurance department, which will enable all employees to grow and prosper in an environment that promotes the continuous improvement of our business processes. My team is also involved in implementing Lean in the Information Systems department. I must say that Lean management at Promutuel Insurance has been a success for the following reasons: :
- All employees and managers have been quick to embrace the new tools and management routines.
- It's easy to see the work done so far thanks to the tables showing progress indicators in the common work areas.
- Frequent communication between employees and their managers makes follow-up a breeze and is empowering for employees."
Readers, if you have any questions on this topic, don't hesitate to contact our two experts directly using the Comments field on this page. They'll be pleased to help!

Having a sister with great style means I can raid her closet and find some fantastic pieces. Ailyn's pretty mint number was perfect for my best friend's rehearsal dinner. You already saw us rock the wedding, but I wanted to pump up the volume with some hot pink and a faux leather jacket for the rehearsal dinner.
I love how a simple jacket can change an entire look. What's your "game-changer" piece?
