Willy - WSN / TCT
AUTHOR: Allison - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, April 19, 2003POSTED: Saturday, April 19, 2003
This is in regards to the segment you did on Trans Continental Talent / Wilhelmina Scouting Network. If you will do your research you will find that 1% of the models on the web site are currently unhappy with TCT / WSN if you look Disney has more complaints against them than TCT / WSN has. I find it sad that you would send a undercover Dateline Assistant into a casting and have her lie and sign a release saying she is not with the Media when in fact she is and she is taping , that is a law violation. Also, if you check out your so called source that you spoke to in Miami with Karin's you will see that he is not credible and to be frank a coke addict. Below is an excerpt from a article that was written about him.
Saying that Karin Models' Miami Director Jeff Fuller has a cocaine problem is like saying Elite head pervert John Casablancas likes em a little young. Jeff is well known on the Miami party circuit with his way too unbuttoned silk shirts, dropping names and giving air kisses to anyone and everyone who will listen. But it's at the midnight hour that he becomes the life of the party. With his little eight balls,' he is the king of coke. How do you think Karin's Models stay so thin, darling?
Well known among Miami bookers and some models, Jeff's coke habit has kept him from moving to New York or Paris where there is 12 months of work, not 8 or 9 like in Miami.
He has also attended all Options / TCT events so he has no room to talk. I think that you guys should have done your homework a little more and showed the positive side a little better then having three models with about 20 seconds for one of them to speak. The good will outweigh the bad if you take the time and do your research. Lou Perlman has made some of the best boy bands to date, there are a lot of people in the industry that would like to see TCT / WSN gone because it is in direct competition with other scouting companies such as Pro-Scout, IMTA, Faces West, MD Model & Talent Expo, Miami Beach Models Showcase and so on. If you look you will see that IMTA charges almost 5000.00 to attend and MB Expo charges close to 1500.00 to attend. $845.00 is the lowest amount that has ever been paid to attend a convention.
You have Jeff from Karin's Miami get on Dateline and say that everything is Advanced in this industry well thats just bull crap. There are some agencies Around the world that will front money for models however they are scares and few. The average female models spends about $5548.00 in her first year for the following: $1000.00 for her first photo shoot to start, $250.00 for Main Book, lasers and prints, $48.00 for the Agency laser book (usually 12 shots), $175.00 for Headsheets, $500.00 for Agency promotional book, $2500.00 or so for the Models Bag, $800.00 or so for Make-up,$50.00 for passport or more and $325.00 to $400.00 for there comp cards. And this comes from the following book : MODEL - The Complete Guide For Men and Women by: Marie Anderson Boyd who is one of the owners of Aria Models in Chicago.
Now on to DATELINE having nothing but negative things to say about TCT LOL if you are going to do a segment about scams why single one company that is not an agency but a scouting company. If you would do your research you would see that FORD, ELITE, CLICK, BOSS, DNA, NEXT, COMPANY and just about every major agency in NYC was sued and claimed to be a scam. But yet you go after a company who gives anyone a chance to be a model. For someone who dose not work in the industry I guess you would not know that in the Modeling world there are many types of modeling : Print, Full-Figure, Ethnic, Sophisticated, Editorial, Fashion Advertising, Product Print, Part Modeling, Nude Modeling, Illustration Modeling, Runway, Showroom, Informal, Promotion, Fit and Convention Modeling. If you would like a description on each one of these let me know and I will be very happy to explain them. Also, do you think Cindy Crawford became a super model over night? NO, she was rejected by everyone for a very very long time. Everyone said she would never work because of her mole and her looks. Now look at her, she is a supermodel and her mole is an IKON.
TCT / WSN has made a lot of Agents, Scouting Directors and Client's lives a lot easier. They have provided a service that is essential to this industry. I have read all the reports and they are all the same oh TCT / WSN said I was going to be a model and I never got any work and so on. Well you know what you can be scouted but you dont get the cover of Vogue or Marie Clair two weeks later. I think your company has failed to provide and accurate account of what really happens at TCT / WSN. I have had to defend the reason's I use TCT / WSN ever since I started and you know what it's because they make it easy for Scouts and Manager's to find new talent. That segment was a disgrace to the industry and should never have never been shown it was a one sided story.

If they were so good at what they do you would not see so many complaints on this website and others also what reputable business do you know change their name once a year?
They are clearly running, because this scam is HUGE. They pray on people that have hopes and dreams, I defended them on this website too until I start to look a little deeper into the situation and I had to fess up that I had been had, I lost a lot of money but I learned my lesson well.
I hope since you are in college you will not let them take you for all the money you have college isnt cheap. By the way you can get your own auditions that tct sends you I am with a very reputable company now and I am getting the same thing tct tried to make me pay an arm and a leg for. Wise up before you go broke.

Oh, Carbondale home of the famous SIU. The school is infamous for accpeting all students that couldn't get in anywhere else! Now we all understand why you would think that this company is anything but a scam, you are STUPID!
When you get a modeling contract with an actual agency for a substantial amount and when you are not selling bacardi shots in night clubs for promotions, let us know what REAL magazines to look you up in. Until that time, you are a nobody as are 99.9% of the people that waste their time and money on this company...TCT, Trans Continental Talent, Options Talent, Studio58, Model One, Wilhelmina, Creative Models, need I say more!!!

Developed in Europe, the layout paper in these alcohol-marker pads is so thin that you can trace images through each sheet. Yet, a special coating on the reverse side keeps colors from bleeding through and keeps images clear and sharp.
The paper is dimensionally stable and bleached (without chlorine) for optimum whiteness. Each pad includes 50 sheets.
Conforms to ASTM D-4236.

Markers won't blend
By Foggi
from Pensacola, Florida
Comments about Copic Alcohol Marker Pads:
True to its name this product doesn't bleed despite being super thin. The paper is sort of a thick tracing paper which I quite like since I don't have to pull out my light table. However, of youre selling your art I wouldn't recommend this paper, as its thinness makes it feel a bit cheap. My biggest issue with this paper is that markers just won't blend on it. It's a great paper if you're fine without blendingl, but the whole reason I bought the paper was to have something to do finished pieces on that can take the ink and blend well. this did not deliver. I have repurposed this paper for thumbnail sketches, plain colored images, and swatches.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

For a product the artist is proud of, combining Coptic Markers w/Coptic pads is the way to go. Even little kids see the difference.

I have used the Copic markers with this paper and it holds up beautifully! I have a lot of basic colors that would normally bleed through and this paper holds up well against that.

This marker pad is great for sketches. Truly does not bleed through, so no wasted paper!
Pretty Disappointing
By Marks a Lot
from Bowling Green, Ky
This paper was extremely thin; a lot thinner than I was expecting. It almost has a tissue paper consistency and doesn't blend my markers well at all. I ended up not using it and purchasing other paper for use with my alcohol-based markers.
Merchant response: We're sorry to hear that this paper wasn't what you expected. One of our Customer Care Agents will be in touch to see how we can help.

54 inmates managed to escape after a riot at a youth detention center in Sao Paulo on Monday, Globo News reports.
The inmates at Fundacao Casa began rioting at around midday, and had soon taken some 29 members of staff hostage. According to Globo, the director of the unit was also taken hostage and was seriously injured.
Inmates burnt their mattresses while rioting, as shown in this video with aerial footage:
This video, released by the Estado News Agency, shows some inmates escaping:
Police were able to end the rioting by 5 p.m., and so far 17 of the escaped inmates have been recovered.
A number of violent prison riots in recent years have brought a lot of attention to issues at Brazilian prisons, including overcrowding and sanitary conditions. Fundacao Casa was recently forced to pay out money to underage inmates who suffered inhumane treatment.

The Dallas Cowboys are the NFL's Ultimate Road Warriors
The Dallas Cowboys are on a 16-game road winning streak dating back to 2013 when their starting quarterback is under center.
Winning in the NFL is a hard thing to do. Winning on the road is even harder. Despite that, these Dallas Cowboys are almost unstoppable when playing behind enemy lines. What makes them so deadly on the road? Let's try to figure that out.
It all starts at the top. Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett has preached his philosophy of focus throughout his tenure in Dallas. He strives to ensure that his squad only focuses on themselves and getting better. Whether it be 2014's "Finish the Fight", 2015's "Nameless Faceless Opponent" or this seasons' "The Team. The Team. The Team", Garrett makes sure his guys approach each week with the right mentality.
And how could I even begin to write this article without my all time favorite Jason Garrett quote.
"Be your best regardless of circumstance. Be ready to play, whether it's home, road, parking lot or the moon."
Our head coach stresses playing the Cowboy's brand of football no matter the location. Garrett has to be one of the biggest factors to his teams road success.
If you're looking for another reason for their dominance on the road, look no further than rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott. For the sake of being thorough, look to their offensive line as well. One of the biggest challenges about playing in hostile territory is crowd noise. It makes it hard to hear play calls, receivers have trouble hearing audibles at the line and it often forces offenses to resort to a silent count.
What's the best way to counteract crowd noise? Fortunately, it's something that the Cowboys are very good at. Pounding. The. Rock. When push comes the shove, this dominant rushing attack is going to gain yards and wear down opponents. A solid ground game keeps opponents on their heels, and helps to silence the crowd. That in turn, opens up those easy throws for rookie quarterback Dak Prescott.
If the Cowboys can keep playing their brand of football and continue their team-first approach, they will be in good shape to turn in their second undefeated road season in three years. The better news for fans, 6 out of the 8 teams that have gone undefeated on the road in NFL history have made it to the Super Bowl. Does that mean these 'Boys are primed for a Super Bowl run? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

KDA Enlists Tinashe For 'Just Say'
What a day for Tinashe fans. Fresh off of the release of her brand new single, 'SuperLove', another song featuring none other than T has been made available.
Instead of another song from her forthcoming album 'Joyride', Tinashe takes the role of featured artist on KDA's new single 'Just Say'. Lucky for fans, KDA just so happens to be a DJ and can technically count this as another solo track.
So what's KDA serving up with Tinashe? A bonafied house banger! Tinashe has straddled the lines of pop for a while and dabbled with EDM alongside Calvin Harris on 'Dollar Signs'. But straight up dance music? This is uncharted territory for Tinashe and – to be frank – she sounds right at home in this genre.
Please don't let this be the last of Tinashe: The Dance Floor Diva.
Are you feeling Tinashe on a new sound?

Clayton Kershaw was in top form on Opening Day.Bryce Harper set the tone for Opening Day home-run excitement, but Clayton Kershaw had the biggest home-run surprise of the day, by far.
It was quite the Opening Day for Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers reaped the benefits with their Opening Day win over the San Francisco Giants. He's now 8-3 with a 1.20 ERA in 90 innings against them since the start of the 2011 season.
Let's run through the accolades.
Historic combinations
The Elias Sports Bureau tells us that Kershaw was the first pitcher in the Modern Era (since 1900) to hit a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning or later of an Opening Day game, and the second pitcher to throw a shutout AND homer in a season opener, joining Hall of Famer Bob Lemon (a one-hitter for the 1953 Cleveland Indians against the Chicago White Sox).
He was the first pitcher to hit a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning or later of any game since Mike Hampton did so for the 2001 Colorado Rockies and the first to throw a walk-free shutout in a season opener since Rick Rhoden (a prolific homer-hitting pitcher who didn't hit one that day) for the 1988 Pittsburgh Pirates.
It also marked the first time that a defending champ has been shut out on Opening Day since the 1988 Minnesota Twins were shut out by the New York Yankees
How unlikely was the home run?
Kershaw entered the day with one career extra-base hit ( a double vs Jake Westbrook) in 261 at-bats. This one traveled 414 feet off the bat to centerfield.
Entering Monday, Kershaw's 332 career plate appearances with 1 or fewer XBH was the 3rd-most among active players. Oliver Perez has the most career PA with 1 or fewer extra-base hits (396), then Barry Zito (375) among active players.
How well did he pitch?
Game Score is a metric created by Bill James that measures the quality of a start. Every pitcher begins with a score of 50 -- points are added for getting outs (with a bonus for strikeouts), and subtracted for baserunners and runs allowed. The typical MLB average is 49 to 51.
Highest Opening Day Game Score
Dodgers Since 1958
Kershaw had a Game Score of 86 vs the Giants, the highest by a Dodgers pitcher in an Opening Day game since the team moved to Los Angeles in 1958, thus higher than any start by Dodgers legends such as Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, and Don Sutton.
Kershaw was dominant throughout, netting misses on 31 percent of swings against him and retiring 14 of the 15 hitters against whome he got a two-strike count.
Kershaw's breaking pitches were very effective, netting 13 outs, including six of his seven strikeouts.
And how valuable was he?
Win Probability Added (WPA) measures how much a player helped or hurt his team's chances to win based on the results of all his plate appearances/batters faced and base stealing attempts, given the context of the game.
At the start of a game, each team is given a 50 percent chance to win, so by the end of the game, the winning team will have added 50 percentage points in total and the losing team will have lost 50 percentage points.
In total, Kershaw added 75 percentage points to the Dodgers chances of winning today (50 points with his shutout pitching effort and 25 points with his hitting - the 8th inning go-ahead solo homer added 29 points), meaning that the rest of his team combined to provide negative 25 percentage points to the winning effort.

San Marco is one of the six sestieri (neighborhoods) of Venice, set in the very heart of the city. It is known primarily as the home of the eponymous Piazza San Marco (St. Mark's Square) and other notable locations, such as Saint Mark's Basilica, the Doge's Palace, Harry's Bar, the Palazzo Dandolo, San Moisè, the La Fenice theatre, the Palazzo Grassi and several churches. Once the seat of the Venetian government, the district is densely packed with many hotels, banks and expensive shops prompted, as of lately, by the influx of tourists. In large part, San Marco makes Venice what it is and, as such, demands exploration!

Staying Cool in Your RV
Suffering through the hot summer months in your new RV can be painful, but don't let that prevent you from enjoying your summer. Those who RV in Arizona, Florida and other hot places know how hot it can get. But with the right preparation, you'll be cooling down in no time. Here are a few tips for beating the heat in your RV.
The shade is your friend
Try to get a campsite in a shady area. If you can't, at least park the RV where it will be exposed to the least amount of sun (hint: park the rear or front to the south). Many RVs (including travel trailers) have automatic electric awnings, giving you a big area to relax under. Picnic umbrellas are also nice to have.
Keep the heat OUT
The direct sunlight can make it scorching and stuffy inside your RV. Close the blinds while you're out and invest in some windshield covers to block the heat. Cook as much food as you can outside – hamburgers, corn on the cob, and s'mores – so you don't kick up the oven heat too often.
Take care of your A/C
Make sure to keep your air-conditioner clean and in tip-top condition to get the best performance out of it. Dust, leaves and dirt will prevent it from working properly. RV air-conditioning covers will protect it from exposure. Take your RV in for service and have your A/C inspected to make sure it's ready to make an impact on those hot days.
Water in its many forms
Water absorbs heat as it evaporates, so use it to cool off. Many RVs – from Tiffin, Fleetwood, Heartland and more – have icemakers built right into the refrigerator. Use spray bottles for a quick mist if you can't get to the lake, beach or campground pool. Filling buckets of water in your RV can actually add some humidity as it evaporates, cooling the air slightly. Most importantly: stay hydrated. So drink up!

We are a charity who provides lots of free workshops for people with cancer, I need to post the workshops into the calendar so that people can book on them, how do I do this as its not clear.
sorry we are only 3 part time people doing everything and not skilled in website things.
I'm planning on upgrading from 'large' to 'multisite'.
Please could you tell me how you recommend this is configured? Does it require setting everything up on WP Multisite? Or can the 5 installs be completely separate instances of WP? What is the recommended configuration?

i have to limit the number of the guests for each resource.

Inspired by Paper Trey Ink's 2013 Design Team anniversary cards this week, I had every intention of being very "neat" and tidy trying to recreate something that looked vaguely like the very attractive CAS cards Cristina Kowalczyk showcased here:
But, sadly... I'm just not that neat, or very good at getting things super straight. So my Recollections washi tape and some scraps came in handy, and I took an oval punch to my sentiment so I didn't have to get fussy over getting that straight on the card either. Shortcuts, gotta love 'em!
If I cannot be neat, then I thought the next best thing was to tear and crinkle, and if I could not be on center, then off center and horizontal worked fine too. I guess I'll just need to get more practiced with my ruler & some light pencil lines. Lesson learned. Oh well, in the end it ended up an okay masculine card. The sentiment is from PTI Birthday Basics and my little red lines under the sentiment are from Sew Simple Borders.
Back to my crooked, crafty mess now... I'll try and post an "after" pic, since my card is definitely a "before!" Anyway, have a great day!

TGTE inaugurated in transnational way, Ramsey Clark stresses importance of history
87 of 115 representatives of the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) already declared elected from 11 countries are meeting in three spots of the world, in the US city of Philadelphia, in London and in Geneva, in a 3 day inaugural session from 17 to 19 May. The Tamil Eelam flag was hoisted and a representative from each country addressed the public stating that the goal of the TGTE should be the formation of independent and sovereign state of Tamil Eelam in the North and East of the island of Sri Lanka. William Ramsey Clark, a former US Attorney General, was one of the keynote speakers of the inaugural event. He characterized the move to form the transnational government a "brave initiative to find the wisdom and the courage to achieve – as it was for many centuries – a free and independent Tamil Eelam."
The 82-year-old Ramsey Clark, who was a prominent figure in the anti-Vietnam War movement, was the Election Commissioner of the TGTE elections held in the USA.
"I need to tell you that your challenge is enormous […] Freedom is possible. But you have to work awfully hard at it. And you have to be right. You have to convince other people that you are right. […] You need to know your history. You need to persist your history and need to have your history understood that you were a uniquely different people than the Sinhalese on the same island," Clark said.
"Resolve your differences together openly and frankly wherever it occurs outright and quickly, and abide by the agreement that you reach," Mr. Clark said elaborating how the American nation was made possible with unity as an unprecedented force to achieve independence. "To divide and conquer a dispersed people is an easy thing to do," he warned.
Francis Boyle, a professor of international law, Domach Wal Ruach, the secretary general of Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) USA and Janani Jananayagam, a British Tamil activist engaged in awareness campaign on Tamil genocide were the other speakers in the inauguration ceremony.
Congratulating the members of TGTE, Domach Wal Ruach of the SPLM-USA said: "Although results are not seen overnight, I think what you have done now is a step towards right direction. We have been there and we are getting close to it now. The struggle is not easy. There are setbacks. But, you have to be steadfast. You owe it to the young generation. If you don't do it now, no-one else would do it and the entire generations would be lost."
"I want to tell you that, through collective work, diaspora is one of the component. Our leader commanded the largest single rebel groups ever. And yet, we were not able to win, militarily," he said and added: "The most important organic guarantee that you could always have, is your diaspora."
Explaining the history of the Sudanese struggle and how the SPLM organized the diapora in grass-root level, he claimed that the USA had done magnificent help to Sudanese. "I don't think we could have done this without the United States of America," he told the TGTE members who were gathered at the Philadelphia National Constitution Centre (NCC). "They helped us so much. I want to thank them again once more. The peace agreement is still unimplemented, but we are hopeful that in January next year, we will be an independent state," he said. "That [the independence] has cost us 2.5 millions of peoples lives, dead."
Professor N. Sriskandarajah, a member of the advisory panel, who invited the elected members of the TGTE for the inauguration meeting, had set the agenda for the session. In an invitation to the elected, Prof Sriskandarajah had outlined the following agenda in advance: "The elected body will be transformed into a Constituent Assembly, an Interim Chief Executive and a small executive committee to manage this process elected, important themes for the Constituent Assembly discussed, agreed on and teams created, and a number of working groups for important and immediate tasks also elected."
The main venue of the event was changed from London to Philadelphia in short notice. However, virtual participation through video conferencing from London and Geneva has worked satisfactory on Monday as it was a session of presentations.
"Despite the issues of sectarian politics involved in the pre-formation process of the democratic exercise and the conceptual concerns, the people have had their say in electing their representatives. The representatives have also clearly expressed what they stand for in their addresses. It is now up to the elected to prove their credibility in the formation process," commented a diaspora analyst, following the developments.
The inauguration commenced at 13:00 on Monday and is scheduled to conclude by 13:00 on Wednesday.

Heidi Klum Had To Be Helped Out Of Bar After Stumbling, Knocking Over Drinks?
Heidi Klum did NOT stumble around a hotel bar knocking over drinks, nor did she have to be helped out, despite a bogus tabloid report. Gossip Cop can correct this claim. We're told it's "false."
Klum spent time at the bar of the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc during the Cannes Film Festival last month, and according to Life & Style, the former supermodel made an embarrassing scene. A so-called "witness" tells the tabloid, "People were calling her 'Heidi Klumsy.' At one point, she stumbled and knocked over a bunch of drinks. There was a loud crash, but she didn't seem to care."
The magazine's dubious source further alleges that when Klum was ready to leave, "someone had to hold her up, walk her out of the bar and take her back to her room." The outlet's seemingly phony source adds, "Either the champagne got to Heidi's head, or she's just clumsy as hell!"
But Gossip Cop checked in with a reliable source close to Klum, who assures us no such situation ever occurred. We're told the tabloid's claim is simply "false." Of course, we're not surprised by the magazine's phony story. Gossip Cop previously called out Life & Style for falsely claiming that Klum was reuniting with Seal nearly two years after filing for divorce from the singer. There was no truth to that report, and the same goes for the tabloids latest one about Klum.

"My dream for my personal life is that our country becomes peaceful; with it, all my dreams will come true," said Shukria, a 32-year-old mother of six who has been once widowed and married twice.
"In my entire life, I haven't even spent one year in happiness. … Now, my dreams and hopes are that my children grow up so I can see happiness in the future, so I can see what happiness tastes like," she said.
Then, a sombre addendum: "But I know that if our situation remains the same, I don't really have much hope left even for that."
Although the education levels of the women interviewed by The Globe varied significantly, they are all aware these are precarious times for their city, which is teetering on the brink - of betterment or disaster, no one can be sure.
"No one can predict anything," said Suhaila, the 39-year-old economics head at the provincial Department of Women's Affairs. "It all depends on security."
Not coincidentally, her "personal dream" is for security in her country. After that? "I wish that women of Afghanistan have equal rights, that they have a good life and that they don't have any financial problems," she said.
Rangina Hamidi, the prominent Kandahar Afghan-American women's activist, also put security at the top of her list. "Once we know we can live and not be killed merely for being, you know, walkers on the street or workers at an office, then it is possible to bring development, to bring literacy, but it's a long-term commitment. … It cannot be done overnight.
"You know … it took women over 30 years to get the right to vote in America. Just the right to vote in America," she said. "Why do we expect a society that is illiterate, that is tribal, that is patriarchal, that is so isolated from the rest of the world, has been through 30 years of war … in a span of five years or three years … to meet expectations of the level of democracy and freedom that we have in America and Canada?"
If she sees even a slight shift during her lifetime, Homaira, a 40-year-old mother of five, will be fulfilled.
"My wish for the future is that my children grow up, go to school, study, that they become educated," she said. "We didn't get a chance to, but at least they should become educated … have a good life, …" she said.
There is one hope she has for herself - related to her husband, who was killed by militants because he worked in government - that will be impossible to realize.
"The only thing I would wish for would be that my husband would be alive now, that I could sit and talk to him," she said.
Shafiqa, a mother of four who guesses she is 34 or 35 years old, wishes for simple things.
"I have many dreams. No human being is without dreams. I have many in my heart," she confessed. "During the revolution, we didn't have much happiness. Bombs fell on us. We lived through difficult times then … similar to now …" she said.
"I wish that my life improves, that my husband's wage increases and that we own a house. That my children go to school. These are my wishes from God," she said.
Many of the women The Globe interviewed talked about hoping for the retreat of the international armies that have occupied their country for nearly a decade.
"We don't want people from another country to be here. We have to develop our homeland on our own," said Shahzia, the 14-year-old student. Her impression of the International Security Assistance Force and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, of which Canada is a part, is that "they kill many innocent civilians."
Hers is a common impression.
"They come, pass by with their cars … suicide attacks happen and our children, our youth and our elders, they all die," Shafiqa said.
"The fact that their troops are here is not pleasant to anyone," said Suhaila, the women's ministry employee. "Because wherever they are stationed, it is certain that an incident will happen there. And in that incident, only the innocent civilians die," she said. "If they want to help us, they can do it from their countries."
Ms. Hamidi doesn't go that far, but she is pleading for coherence among international forces if they want to avoid further damaging the country.
"We have 42 different countries wanting to implement 42 different plans. … The international community, America as its leader, needs to decide what they want to do with this country," she said, adding that "whatever has to happen for Afghanistan has to happen in the terms of Afghanistan."
If the nations invested in its future don't realize that, Ms. Hamidi worries, the results will be disastrous.
"I regret that if we continue at the current level and the current pace … we're going to have a result worse than when the Communists left," she said.Report Typo/Error

First, it seems as though the earlier 5.7-inch display size was a prototype, since Geekbench shows the Galaxy C9 as having a 6-inch display, along with a 1.4Ghz, octa-core, Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 chipset, 6GB of RAM, with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow pre-installed. Yes, the Galaxy C9 (bearing model number SM-C9000), has 6GB of RAM — more than Samsung's high-end Android handsets for 2016: the Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S7 Active, and the Galaxy Note 7 all have 4GB of RAM, not 6GB. Samsung is also said to be working on a Galaxy C5 Pro and Galaxy C7 Pro as well.
Now, if you've been keeping track of our coverage here, the Galaxy Note 7 was rumored to launch in China with 6GB of RAM (it was spotted on Geekbench, too) some weeks ago before Samsung launched the device in the region with 4GB of RAM instead. As we've said here at SamMobile before, Samsung has had a difficult year in the Chinese market, with low-cost OEMs building devices for far less than the retail price of Samsung's high-end "Galaxies" and launching them at ultra-affordable prices. Samsung said at the time that it was considering the launch of a 6GB RAM Galaxy Note 7, but for reasons unknown, failed to launch it. A Note 7 box with 6GB of RAM mentioned in the spec list indicates that the 6GB RAM Note 7 rumor may not be quite laid to rest just yet.

Pasadena, California (PressExposure) November 23, 2009 -- BCG Search is a trusted name in the legal job market and provides suitable legal jobs matching your qualifications. The basic difference between BCG Search.com and any other job hunting site is that while another job site would list only a few selective jobs in the field, BCG list each and every legal job by all recruiters. BCG Search has been doing this excellent job of landing with the best legal firms and opportunities in the field, thanks to their transparent business strategy that is extremely research oriented. Now why is so much research required, you may ask? The answer to this is pretty simple: good research provides you with jobs from all corners of the industry.
BCG Attorney Search has the best recruiters in the legal industry since they are regularly featured in the national media. The BCG recruiters are the best in their field, and this is because they have a proven mettle in the law community. They have graduated from some of the best universities. All of them are required to maintain high and superlative standards of performance, actively participating in and writing about their legal finesse. In fact, their credibility is such that BCG Attorney Search is often approached by the press for commenting about their recruiters. You canât be a recruiter with BCG Search.com just like that. You need to undergo severe training, which is unlike the Martindale training that is given at most of the other companies.
BCG Attorney Search looks at legal recruitment as a serious profession with the recruiters being trained for weeks before actually allowing getting down to business. It is necessary for the recruiters to travel to the BCG Search head office that is located in Pasadena for training on an individual basis, or for speaking to the candidate. Video training with footage from conferences and imparting of the CEO, A. Harrison Barnesâ core values are some of the aspects they are required to undergo. All in all, it is a value based approach that the legal recruiters are provided with. However, it is not just training that is required, recruiters are also asked to make presentations regarding relevant and informational topics related to legal appointments.
Recruiters at BCG Attorney Search are required to meet with a particular number of law firms as BCG has numerous contacts with the top law firms in the country. This is extremely helpful as it prevents duplication and assures up to the minute vacancy notification. The hiring procedure is highly selective as BCG Attorney Search does not accept all recruiters, which is in fact excellent for the candidate who is looking for the best and most deserving recruiters. Effectiveness and personalized attention is thereby guaranteed.

GUYTON - Wastewater treatment once again is on the agenda for City Council members tonight.
Chandra Brown, executive director of Ogeechee-Canoochee Riverkeepers, is slated to present concerns about the proposed plant.
The city has met some vocal opposition since announcing plans to build a $13.3 million treatment plant on Riverside Drive.
Area residents have expressed concerns over the city's ability to pay the loan for the project, and the plant's potential effect on the nearby Ogeechee River.
Citizen petitions against the project, by Dusti Blair and Craig Barrow, opponents of the project, were also planned for presentation at the council meeting.
In other business, council members were to consider going to two council meetings per month.
Council members also were to consider bids to grade a ditch behind Guyton Hardware and Lumber and approval of a $10,000 grant from the Department of Community Affairs to renovate the old Guyton school gym.
An identity theft prevention policy and a contract with Michelle Goldwire-Johnson, d/b/a Billing Solutions, for billing services of emergency services, were also up for vote.

Green Israel
Knesset 370.
(photo credit:Marc Israel Sellem/The Jerusalem Post)
My predictions for the local and regional scene in 2012 were bang-on: I foresaw
that Netanyahu's government would fall over the 2013 budget, that Yacimovich
would eclipse Tzipi Livni and Yair Lapid, that Binyamin Netanyahu would act to
solidify his alliance with Avigdor Liberman, that the IDF would take action
against Hamas and that Abbas would take to the UN against Israel, that Israel
would hold back on hitting Iran, and that Syria would begin breaking up. I even
correctly estimated the percentage of American Jews who would vote for Obama (68
percent). I was wrong only about Egypt – but so was everybody else. (I thought
Tantawi would hang on).Looking into my crystal ball for the year ahead,
what I see is a new, broad Israeli government that doesn't last long, another
futile settlement freeze, exacerbated Peres-Netanyahu tensions, continued
stalemate with Iran, trouble on the Golan, and despite it all – life in Israel
will remain great.

2005 Detroit Auto Show Index by TCC Team (1/8/2005)
TCC Team
Best New Concept: Ford Fairlane. Some weird design elements, like the Home Depot plywood accents, but overall, a very intriguing turn of direction that I strongly expect to see in production.
Best New Production Car: Mercedes M-Class, certainly compared to the old car which was never that great to begin with and by now was nearly as ancient as a Model T.
Most Significant Production Vehicle: Infiniti M45. After years of being a sort of undefined, "me-too" luxury brand, this sporty new sedan finally gives Infiniti a real raison d'etre. Now let's see if consumers agree.
Biggest news story: GM's big employment cuts. The automaker admits it will end the year with about 8000 fewer jobs in the
2005 Jeep Hurricane Concept

Worst Press Conference: Mercedes, by a long shot. Hmm, you have a new car and it almost gets lost in all the other stuff you want to talk about, rolling out just three minutes before the next newser, and after many journalists already had left?
Who's On Top: There's no denying that
Who's In The Barrel: Mitsubishi, without a doubt, is so far down, it's hard to imagine how it will ever pick itself back up again. But one also has to have some serious concerns about Jaguar, among the Europeans.
Personal Best: I've got a thing for over-the-top design in sexy sports cars, and I really do love the look of the Firepower, which I am convinced they'll build.
Prediction for 2005: The Japanese will target trucks, but

Best New Concept: If the Shelby GR-1 hadn't been shown at Pebble, it would sweep this category. But of the remainder, I liked the Lexus LF-A – the audacity to out-'Vette Chevrolet and Ford on their home turf shows you that
Best New Production Car: Honda Ridgeline. Wait 'till you drive one.
Most Significant Production Vehicle: Honda Ridgeline. What happens when 500,000 drivers realize they don't need a full-size truck?

Worst Press Conference: Mercedes-Benz. For 30 minutes we get about ten different topics, none of which are the smart formore. Then in about two minutes, they zing over the vehicle that's probably responsible for a quarter of MBUSA's profit – the M-Class. Having worked with the
Who's On Top: Fujio Cho,
Who's In The Barrel: Rich Gilligan, Mitsubishi. Nearly unanimous here, Gilligan is just the latest skipper at Mitsu to be faced with a mountain of trouble and a teensy trowel to remove it all.
Personal Best: Not a car, not a concept – just kudos to TCC's team for making my job posting and editing copy this year the easiest Detroit show in recent memory.
Prediction for 2005: We may finally wave goodbye to Isuzu and Mitsubishi if sales trends continue. But Jaguar too? Anything's possible in the world of $5000 rebates and $5 billion losses.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
Not much to say! I didn't have a pattern so the whole thing was literally patterned through drapery and general memory of where the darts and gathers were supposed to go. I did every bit of construction besides painting the polka dots onto the apron, which I allocated to my roommate due to a serious lack of time.
- Personal Thoughts:
- Wow, talk about going back in time?? I originally cosplayed Suzy Q for the first time at NYAF 2009, back when this design didn't even exist. It was a little frustrating to see the anime colors were so RADICALLY different but hey! Nothing quite shows progress in your craftsmanship like making the same costume after almost four years, right? Plus, the lack of polkadots was encouraging haha.

I started out writing fanfiction, got bitten by the writing bug, and now here I am building worlds and torturing innocent (and not so innocent) characters.
I'm a big advocate for people writing whatever makes them happy (so long as it doesn't harm anyone, of course). No matter what anyone says just write what you want, and for whatever reason you want to. For fame, for money, or just for yourself, who cares? Life's too short to take away other people's simple pleasures!

SEO can be a mystifying and intimidating concept. You may have heard web developers talk about things like keywords, alt tags, rankings, or the Google algorithm. On top of that, there are a plethora of companies who would be more than happy to increase your search ranking – for a hefty fee. Is SEO really that complicated and mysterious?
What is SEO, anyway?
Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is a collection of techniques and tactics used to improve a website's display position on a search engine results page. In a nutshell, the goal of SEO is to get your website to come up as close to the top of the list as possible when someone searches for content that you'd like them to find on your site.
Why should economic developers care about SEO?
In this digital age, your website is – or should be – your primary marketing tool. Your website promotes your region 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. What other form of marketing can do that? But your website only benefits you if your target audience can find it (and then can find what they need, but that's a topic for another blog). That's where good SEO comes in.
The closer to the top your website appears in a search, the more visits it will receive. Consider how often you go to even the second page of results when you conduct an internet search. More visits from your target audience increase your region's visibility and can drive engagement. You want to make it as easy as possible for them to find you. Competition for talent and business relocations is fierce. Good SEO can give you a leg up on the competition and keep your region top-of-mind.
5 DIY Techniques to Improve SEO
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Many techniques that can positively impact your site's SEO are not complicated or expensive. You can do some of these things yourself, and if you have some basic familiarity with your website's back-end, you can do all of them. Like most things, it requires a plan and some time and effort. Here are 5 DIY techniques to improve your SEO.
- Know what terms your target audience searches for and make sure those terms are included in the content on your site. Run some test searches on those terms (keywords). Does your site come up in the results? What about your competitors' sites? Do you rank higher or lower than your competitors? If your site doesn't come up on the first page of results for important keywords, review your content and determine how you could work them in.
- Just tag it. Here's where the back-end stuff happens. Each page should have a meta title and description that focuses on the important content and keywords. They should be short and sweet and written in language your audience would use and understand.
- Don't forget your photos! Photos should be named based on their content; e.g., logo_MyEDO.jpg instead of logo.jpg. Each photo should also have an alt tag that's relevant to what it depicts. Not only does it help Google know what's in the picture, it reinforces the value of the content on the page.
- Make sure your site is mobile-friendly. More searches are now done on mobile devices than on desktops. In keeping with the trend towards mobile, Google's search algorithm now factors in how mobile-friendly a site is when displaying results. Responsive (mobile-friendly) websites are now a must.
- Regularly freshen up your content. Your website's copy should be written with readers in mind and should incorporate your keywords. That in itself is not enough, however. Google's search algorithm also factors in how often your content is updated. Timely, relevant content is not only more useful to your target audience; it can help your site rank higher. Some ideas would be to update your success stories, regional news and other positive activities.
There are other behind-the-scenes items that your website developer can help you with; for example, making sure your robots.txt file is configured appropriately; adding breadcrumbs; adding backlinks; making sure header attributes are used properly; adding social media feeds; etc.
When you're first getting started, it can be helpful to have a plan and set aside time regularly to work on your site's SEO. It's less about the mystery of SEO and more about making the time to implement some simple strategies. With some dedicated time and effort, you can positively impact your website's SEO. And that's good for your EDO and your entire region.
Want to improve your SEO but don't have the time? Ady Advantage helps EDOs optimize their websites to improve SEO and user experience. We are expert in bringing the site selector's perspective to bear on your website strategy. Our team can audit your site, provide assistance with copywriting and art direction, and provide regular content updates. And if you need a whole new website, we do that, too.

The announcement of the long rumored
"We talk to everybody and I wouldn't say that any conversation is dead yet," Simon stated. "You just never know. You know how this sport works, one day you think you're not working together and the next day you might announce something."
One thing that is for sure is the fact that the debut Affliction card will not take place in the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, Texas. Simon says that was a scheduling and marketing conflict with the company.
