If you're gearing up for an interview for a new job, chances are you're probably guessing which questions you should be ready to answer, thinking about what past successes you should highlight and determining how your responses can highlight what makes you the perfect fit. While all of these are important elements of interview preparation, you should also be ready to turn the tables during the discussion.
When the end of the interview draws near and the inevitable "do you have any questions for me?" inquiry arises, be ready. Rather than serve up softball "what do you like best about working here?" questions, here are four suggestions to help keep the conversation moving in a great direction.
Give the interviewer a chance to discuss what's on the horizon for the company. Whether they're pitching for new business or they're preparing to open a new office, this question can help you understand the pulse of the company. If there aren't any new opportunities in the near future, the organization may not be the best fit for you.
SEE ALSO: 7 Factors That Will Impact Your Next Job Interview
Ultimately, job interviews are about immediate impact for both parties: what you can bring to the table and what the company can do to increase your compensation. However, it's important to show that you are looking for a position where your experience will pay off much further down the road. This question demonstrates your commitment to the company's big-picture vision of success.
SEE ALSO: Unbelievable But True Job Interview Mishaps
Maybe the company doesn't have a blog, and maybe the CEO didn't write about globalization. Still, you should have this type of question in your pocket. Your research on the company should extend further than the "About Us" tab on the website. Use the question time to show the interviewer that you've been exploring recent company news.
FIND A JOB: The PCMA Career Center
You've been hearing from the same person throughout the first portion of the interview. This question shows you're a team player who is genuinely interested in what each of your colleagues has to say. If the interview is going well, asking about other team members' thoughts may even inspire the interviewer to decide to introduce you to more people in the office.

Brawn GP the first team to win on debut since 1977
MELBOURNE: Jenson Button led Brawn GP to an astonishing one-two at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix on Sunday in Formula One's most successful team debut for 55 years.
The 29-year-old Briton, written off by some as overpaid and overrated after two dismal seasons with Honda, cemented a fairy-tale comeback that left team owner Ross Brawn lost for words.
Brazilian teammate Rubens Barrichello started and finished second, but only after Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel and BMW-Sauber's Robert Kubica drove each other off the track while fighting for the runner-up position with three laps to go. The safety car came out and led the field until the final corner of the race.
McLaren's World champion Lewis Hamilton, starting last on the grid after a catastrophic gearbox failure in qualifying, showed his fighting spirit by clawing his way back to third place while the Ferraris of Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen failed to finish.
"It wasn't my best race, but I still won," said Button, whose teammate got off to a terrible start after he hit the anti-stall button and dropped to seventh.
"This win is for me and the team. That's what I care about. I don't need to poke anyone in the eye about what was said in the past."
No Formula One team had won on its debut since Wolf in 1977 while the last to secure the top two places first time out was Mercedes, Brawn's current engine suppliers, in 1954.
Fifty five years on, Button and Barrichello followed in the footsteps of the great Argentine champion Juan Manuel Fangio and Germany's Karl Kling.
Pole to podium
Button led from pole to chequered flag, despite two safety car periods, to take his first victory since Hungary in 2006 and score more points in a single afternoon than he had in two years with Honda.
The victory marked a remarkable turnaround for a team which was fighting for its Formula One survival earlier this year after Honda pulled out.
With Barrichello well behind in fourth place, the one-two looked an impossible dream until Kubica tried to pass Vettel on the outside and Vettel drove into him.
Brawn was stunned with the result.
"You don't find Ross speechless very often," said Button. "But in the last 15 minutes I'd be surprised if he said a word. The big bear was just speechless."
The first race of a new-look Formula One, with radically-revised aerodynamic regulations, slick tyres and the new KERS energy recovery systems, turned the starting grid upside down and shook up the pecking order as many had predicted.
Italian Jarno Trulli finished third but was demoted to 12th.
"We scored way more points than we could have realistically expected," said Hamilton. "I was looking to try and get one point, so to get six is a great achievement.
"I wrung every last ounce of pace out of the car, drove one of my best ever races and absolutely raced my heart out. I'm so satisfied."
Germany's Timo Glock, who started behind Trulli in the pit lane after Toyota were disqualified from qualifying for using an illegal rear wing, was elevated to fourth ahead of Renault's Fernando Alonso and Williams' Nico Rosberg.
Buemi's distinction
Toro Rosso's Swiss rookie Sebastien Buemi became the 58th driver to score on his debut with seventh place while French teammate Sebastien Bourdais took the final point.
McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen retired after being caught in a first lap coming together with Australian Mark Webber's Red Bull and Nick Heidfeld's BMW-Sauber.
The first safety car came out on the 20th lap after Williams' Japanese driver Kazuki Nakajima crashed into the wall with Button already 36.4 seconds clear of Vettel.
Red Bull was fined $50,000 and Vettel demoted 10 places on the starting grid for the next race in Malaysia for causing the incident with Kubica.
The results (read under driver, car, laps, time, 'x' denotes penalised 25 seconds for overtaking under safety-car conditions): 1. Jenson Button, Brawn GP, 58, 1:34:15.784; 2. Rubens Barrichello, Brawn GP, 58, 1:34:16.591; 3. Lewis Hamilton, McLaren, 58, 1:34:18.689; 4. Timo Glock, Toyota, 58, 1:34:20.219; 5. Fernando Alonso, Renault, 58, 1:34:20.663; 6.

The transition of power in this country has not necessarily meant that the majority of South Africans have experienced a transformed life. The incessant experience of poverty, poor service delivery and lack of political will to facilitate change is leading to violent protest action. This article investigates the progression in the Methodist Church of Southern Africa's theological understanding of its role in being an agent of change in local communities. It does so by reflecting on the Church's place in the current political context, its programmes and recent initiatives in its mission-based focus. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z The ethical demise of the politcal policy of affirmative action as a motive for enhancing women and education in South Africa: A double setback of a reverse strategy Slater, Jennifer http://hdl.handle.net/10500/14115 2014-09-27T22:00:50Z 2014-08-01T00:00:00Z The ethical demise of the politcal policy of affirmative action as a motive for enhancing women and education in South Africa: A double setback of a reverse strategy Slater, Jennifer In this article, the author questions whether the South African government is deceiving itself by parading an ultraliberal Con-stitution while failing to implement gender equality in educa-tion, society and the church. She explores the political policy of affirmative action as it pertains to rectifying the educational and gender inequalities of the past. Regrettably, since 1994, new discriminatory practices have emerged in the form of in-creasing gender violence, xenophobia, homophobia, corrup-tion, fraudulent leadership, abuse of freedom and new expres-sions of exclusivity. This leads the author to question whether the provisions for affirmative action and gender equality in education and employment are nothing more than a political smoke screen, since instead of levelling the playing field, these provisions appear to have had the opposite effect. Conse-quently, the author examines whether the provision for gender equality in education actually poses a threat to the long-established cultural and social traditions that regard men as the dominant force in both public and private domains. Peer reviewed 2014-08-01T00:00:00Z The liberation potential of Shona culture and the Gospel: A post-feminist perspective Chimhanda, Francisca http://hdl.handle.net/10500/14114 2014-09-27T22:00:55Z 2014-08-01T00:00:00Z The liberation potential of Shona culture and the Gospel: A post-feminist perspective Chimhanda, Francisca The basic presupposition is that the original God-human-cos-mos mutual interconnectedness or interrelationship is tarnished and distorted by evil in all its manifestations; that culture and the Gospel have seeds for restoring this intricate plexus of relationships impinging on humanity's creation and baptismal dignity of the imago Dei/Christi, the integrity of creation, and the baptismal vocation of sharing in the mission of Christ ad gentes (to the nations, cf. Mk 15:16). Challenges and contribu-tions of liberation theology, in general, and feminist, eco-femi-nist and post-feminist perspectives, in particular, are critically examined in the backdrop of the Shona culture-Gospel creative dialogue. The spotlight is on the quest for a liberating, holistic, inclusive and responsible theanthropocosmic (theos/thea [God/ess – anthropos [humankind] – cosmos/world) theology sensitive to the signs of the times. Theological methodology highlights the mutual influencing of enculturation, evangelisa¬tion and incarnation. Peer reviewed 2014-08-01T00:00:00Z The culturally-gendered pastoral care model of women caring for refugee girls in a context of HIV/AIDS Chisale & Buffel, Sinenhlanhla S & Olehile http://hdl.handle.net/10500/14113 2014-09-27T22:00:54Z 2014-08-01T00:00:00Z The culturally-gendered pastoral care model of women caring for refugee girls in a context of HIV/AIDS Chisale & Buffel, Sinenhlanhla S & Olehile The objective of this article is to investigate how women care-givers who look after Unaccompanied Refugee Minor (URM) girls in a context of HIV/AIDS, understand their pastoral care practice. Though women are traditionally understood as the caregivers in society, their views with regard to how they understand and give meaning to care-giving are not heard. When their views are sought, their views can oppose generally accepted ideas of what counts as "oppressive". For the purposes of this article, empirical research was undertaken at the Methodist Community Centre in Soweto with caregivers there who provide care for URM girls from Zim¬babwe. This is a qualitative study, with a grounded theory approach. The purpose is to investigate the understanding members of these women caregivers have of the pastoral care they provide to the URM girls. The results of the empirical study are evaluated through the lenses of African women's theology and Margret Mead's Cultural Adolescent Develop-ment Theory. The study finds that the members of this group of women assume that the proper implementation of cultural-gendered practices can be effective in guiding and conducive to the well-being of the girls in their care. For these women, the extension of care is culturally gendered and feminised. Their notions of effective pastoral care can seem to perpetuate attitudes that feminist thought generally regards as oppressive to women. Peer reviewed 2014-08-01T00:00:00Z

We don't yet think Eidos has ironed out all the wrinkles, but we definitely think they are taking the series in the right direction, as Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes the Neighborhood is a straight-up, screw the WWE brawler that gamers with a few screws loose will enjoy.
Movement feels floaty, hit detection and collision issues are everywhere, and enemy AI is painfully stupid. [Jan 2005, p.118]
But in its current form and with so many other better wrestling titles out there, it's mediocrity is the only thing that's exceptional about it.
With only two way multiplayer returning, this really was a missed opportunity to improve upon a disappointing franchise. As it stands, BW2 gets the smack put down on it by virtually every other fighter out there. [Official UK Xbox Magazine]
There are audio glitches galore, with sound effects either missing or repeating themselves over and over for no good reason. [Feb 2005, p.93]
The controls are pretty lousy, characters will often merge with each other and scenery, and moves feel limited; plus, why can't we grapple an opponent when they're stunned?...Avoid this rubbish at all costs.
Unfortunately, while hitting porn stars with weed whackers to the finely articulate tunes of the Insane Clown Posse might sound like a dream come true to some, the junior high-level execution of this game just brings down any possibility of a truly good wrestling title.

Top 10 Money Mistakes New Families Make
Spurning Uncle Sam's Gifts
"Most families are leaving money on the table because they are not paying attention to taxes," says Openshaw. By reducing your annual taxable income, she points out, you reduce your taxes, and that equals money in the bank. That's why it's a major mistake not to take advantage of various tax shelters offered by your employer, chief among them 401(k) or other individual retirement plans. Yet a surprising number of people do just that, arguing that they can't afford to participate. In fact, they can't afford not to.
First of all, such plans force you to save -- a worthy goal in itself. Furthermore, because your contributions are exempted from current income taxes, you pay no taxes on that money until you withdraw it (as early as age 59 1/2). And you're not taxed on the interest you earn until then, either. More bluntly, if you fail to participate in your plan, you are doing nothing less than throwing money away, because your employer is then not required to put in its match, which in most cases is at least 50 cents for every $1 you earn, up to 6 percent of your total income.
Most employers also offer tax-sheltered flexible spending accounts for the cost of childcare, unreimbursed healthcare, and commuting; everyone who has such expenses should avail themselves of these plans. Paying for these items in after-tax dollars increases your cost by as much as 28 percent (if that's your bracket). And don't be embarrassed to ask for a tax receipt for a donation to, say, the Salvation Army, your favorite charity, or the local fire department.
Williams also urges parents to get their money's worth from their tax dollars by taking advantage of public facilities such as parks, pools, and libraries. "We used to rent or buy videos for the kids," says Janice Brathwaite, a mother of three from Delray Beach, Florida. "Now we take them out of the library, keep them for a week, and pay nothing at all."

Bret Hart
Real Name
Bret Hart
Date of Birth
July 2, 1957
Place of Birth
Since she has appeared nude in Playboy magazine before, it should come as no surprise that Torrie Wilson has plenty of naked and topless photos online. This is a really sexy picture of the former WWE diva being topless. She is wearing a bikini bottom, but it is rather skimpy.
March 26, 2014
Since they're heavily featured on Monday Night Raw, Smackdown and Total Divas, the Bella Twins have gained quite a bit of popularity over the last year. Naturally, WWE fans have wondered if we will ever seen Nikki Bella and Brie Bella posing nude in Playboy magazine any time soon. While they would sell quite a bit of copies, WWE has to avoid that connection right now because of advertisers and sponsors.
March 22, 2014
Since the company has adopted a PG image, the move is unlikely to happen, but those backstage in WWE believe that Summer Rae would have definitely been given the Playboy photo shoot nod had she been in professional wrestling a couple of years earlier. Summer Rae would have definitely been featured in a nude photo shoot when WWE allowed that sort of thing.
March 21, 2014
Since she is unlikely to show up naked in Playboy magazine anytime soon, wrestling fans have flocked online to see if they can find a wardrobe malfunction video, in order to get more of a glimpse of Summer Rae. This clip, which barely shows her purple thong, has proven to be a highly viewed video on YouTube.
March 20, 2014
While some have dismissed it as being just a rumor, there are actually some Alundra Blayze nude photos floating around somewhere. Back in 1987, she posed for Playboy magazine. However, an invitation to go wrestle with All Japan prevented her from signing a release form, so the pictures were never published. They remain in existence somewhere.
March 20, 2014
A picture from Twitter of Matt Hardy wearing panties, which supposedly belong to his wife and Playboy model Reby Sky. The former WWE star joked that he thought it was a pink bandana.
March 17, 2014
While there might not be any nude pictures of Eva Marie floating around, we do have this picture of the WWE diva wearing a yellow thong and showing her naked ass. This photo shoot was done before she became famous. Chances are, if WWE was not PG, then Vince McMahon would have already sent her to Playboy to do a spread.
March 15, 2014
For those that do not know, there definitely are nude Torrie Wilson photos floating out there. The former WWE diva posted for Playboy, and she showed off her entire body. The nude pictures were even promoted on WWE television shows such as Monday Night Raw and Smackdown.
March 8, 2014
Since she has been growing in popularity, a lot of fans have been wondering if we will ever see a nude Eva Marie photo shoot. In the past, WWE would not have hesitated to allow her to do a hot spread for Playboy magazine, but since times have changed, the company will not allow her to pose naked or topless for anyone.
January 3, 2014
Some are under the belief that Eva Marie has done a nude photo shoot for Playboy, but that is not the case. While considered quite hot by many standards, the WWE diva has yet to be asked by the magazine. A lot of the speculations stem from the fact that there is a model named Eva Hilovski, who also goes by Eva Marie at times, who has posed naked several times.
January 2, 2014
There are rumors floating around that new WWE diva Eva Marie has posed nude before, and that has caused thousands of wrestling fans to scour the internet in search of such naked images. However, it turns out that the confusion stems from the fact that Playboy model Eva Hilovski uses the same name on occasions.
January 1, 2014
There are rumors that naked photos of Aksana exists on the internet. While the WWE diva has done a lot of modeling shoots before becoming a professional wrestler, none of them are nude ones. She also has never done a spread for Playboy or any other magazines.
January 1, 2014
Independent wrestler Reby Sky, who recently got married to former WWE star Matt Hardy, is currently doing another photo shoot for Playboy. Her first nude pictorial for the magazine was back in 2007.
December 11, 2013
While a lot of wrestling fans view Chris Jericho as one of the best in ring performers in the history of the industry, Bret Hart thinks that Jericho has a really bad habit in the ring. During a recent interview, when asked about the current WWE product, Hart revealed that he does not like how Jericho is constantly caught calling spots in the ring. He feels that it takes the realism away from the match.
November 16, 2014
A touching moment took place at an independent wrestling circuit show this week. Bret Hart entered the ring and addressed the audience. He then called out Earl Hebner, who agreed to join him. Hart told the fans that Hebner was simply doing his job because it was what Vince McMahon ordered. The two embraced one another and buried the hatchet.
October 12, 2014
Some interesting stuff came out of a recent interview that Mark Henry did with Newsday. The former world heavyweight champion revealed that he met Rock in Canada while he was playing professional football. Henry was up there training with Bret Hart and his family.

Smith Hart has managed to make headlines again, and it's still for all the wrong reasons. The older brother of Bret Hart publicly bashed Vince Russo on Twitter. He claims that Russo was the one that murdered Owen Hart in WWE. Smith Hart is also challenging Russo to a real life fight. He is attempting to make it seem reasonable by offering to donate the proceeds to charity.

During a recent podcast interview between Steve Austin and Vince Russo, the topic of the Montreal Screwjob came up. Russo gave specific details about what went down between Vince McMahon, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. Austin then finished the discussion by stating that he had no prior knowledge of the incident going down, but that he thinks the decision by McMahon and Russo was the right one. The business had to be protected from Hart and Eric Bischoff.

Monday Night Raw is heading to Montreal next month, and Bret Hart has been signed to make an appearance. WWE is also filming Smackdown in Canada that week, so there is a very good chance that Hart might be making a second appearance for the company. No word yet on what he will be doing on the show, but rumors are suggesting that it will not be anything big.
June 24, 2014
One of the ideas that was being tossed around in WWE NXT was to have Natalya Neidhart and Ashley Flair working a high profile match against one another, where Bret Hart and Ric Flair would be in the respective corners of their relatives. However, WWE is unable to come to an agreement with Hart, so there are now rumors that Jim Neidhart could be contacted and utilized in the role.

"Hey, Owen, can't believe it's been fifteen years since you left us. It still hurts the same and not a day goes by that I don't think of you and smile. There are so many things I wish I could tell you, but most of all, I'd just tell you how much I miss you, brother." - Bret Hart commemorating the death of his brother Owen Hart

July is going to be a rather busy month for Roddy Piper, as the WWE legend has now been booked for at least a dozen shows throughout Europe.

Smith Hart, the older brother of Bret Hart, had been promoting a show, where David Benoit, the son of Chris Benoit, was going to be making his official debut in professional wrestling. However, Chris Jericho decided to step in and prevent that from happening.

"Today would've been my dad's 99th birthday and it's hard to believe he's been gone for 10 years now. I miss my dad everyday. His humor, his simple advice, and understanding of what it took to be a man. I often think of him as I drive down Bow Trail seeing Calgary's gorgeous skyline. I feel his spirit fill my mind, my heart, and I smile at how I know both Calgary and I are somehow protected as he admires and watches over us from the heavens." - Bret Hart remembers his father Stu Hart

"I'm deeply saddened at the sudden passing of Jim Hellwig, the Ultimate Warrior. I wish I'd been kinder to him in the last momnets that we had this past weekend at Wrestlemania 30. We did cross paths once or twice, but we were all so busy. I never went out of my way to see him, but if I could, I'd tell him he looked good. He looked content, and he looked like he'd finally found happiness within his children and his wife. He never ever harmed me, nor did we really work with one another. I wish we had. His final ring promo breaks my heart. I have many fond memories of times we shared, only now do they pile up in my head. I'd also tell him that he was right. He never was such a bad guy. My thoughts are with his wife and children. I never thought his time would be so short. I know one thing. I will never forget him." - Bret Hart discusses the death of Ultimate Warrior
April 10, 2014
"He seemed good, he seemed happy for sure. I had a sense his health wasn't great. He seemed a little frail. He seemed a little less indestructible than he used to be. I don't think it would be a surprise to know he took steroids for a long time and I don't know if he ever stopped." - Bret Hart discusses steroid use by the Ultimate Warrior
April 10, 2014
Even though he has not been officially announced by WWE as taking part in Wrestlemania 30, Bret Hart will be in New Orleans this upcoming weekend.

During an interview session with fans in Manchester this week, Bret Hart revealed that Vince McMahon promised him a five year title reign back in 1992, where the idea was to get fans to believe in professional wrestling again. He did receive a world heavyweight championship reign, but it was nowhere near that duration.
March 25, 2014
While fans have been asking for it for the last several years now, it looks like Owen Hart might finally be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame at Wrestlemania 31. While in Manchester, Bret Hart had a discussion with the fans, and he stated that it would more than likely take place next year. Bret is also the obvious choice to induct Owen.

Residents take on fish clean-up
Date: January 24, 2013
by: Alex Mahadevan | News Editor
Sandy Hook Residents Dave Patton, David Bergen and Bob Gallery picked up and buried almost 1,500 pounds of fish killed by red tide. The residents buried the fish 4 feet below the sand so that the raccoons would not get to them.
"We were collecting 4-pound mullet," Patton said. It took them almost to four hours to clean the 150-foot stretch of beach. Private beaches, like the one at Sandy Hook, are not cleaned by the county.
"Somebody's got to do it, so I started to and my neighbors helped," Patton said.

DOC8's REVIEW OF PETERP
|appearance: 8 - lean and boyish
attitude: enthusiastic
date visited: Jul 2009
performance: 3 - weak and unremarkable
atmosphere: 8 - great atmosphere
A delightful romp and a great heroscort. Arrived promptly with one call to the Daily Bugle. I was working on a magnetic pulse generator in my laboratory when he showed up. He allowed me to give a very lengthy speech about my plans to destroy all electronics around the world and even called me "a madman" when I threatened to usher in a new dark age. After some light battle with my full VE things got really hot and heavy.
Great H2H, requested and received full villain experience. Disabled my VE and even webbed my neutrino beam which I wasn't using. Gave me a half and half and CBJ2C. Then we fought some more and I received a VEWW2C. Really seemed to enjoy it and even offered to accidentally knock over a barrel of toxic waste and turn one of my lab assistants into a villain. I declined, but the thought was very nice. I would definitely book with him again.
The ocean is full of the stuff of nightmares and, no thanks to all that water, you can't even kill it with fire.

With Wilkins Lumber land sale, the future is clear for 500 acres in Amherst, Mont Vernon
Fourteen separate parcels of land in Amherst and Mont Vernon, owned for generations by the Wilkins family, are being preserved for timber and agricultural use through easements that will be held by the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests.
The Wilkins family, which has owned the Wilkins Lumber Company in Milford for eight generations, is selling five easements covering more than 500 acres in Mont Vernon and Amherst to the society to protect it from future development, according to Sally Wilkins.
Sally and her husband, Tom, run the lumber company, which has been part of the landscape since 1808 and has survived fire, the Great Depression, the devastating hurricane of 1938 and the recent recession.
Though the demand for local softwoods has decreased due to cheaper imports from Canada and overseas, the Wilkinses have managed to carve out a niche for themselves and have stayed afloat, Sally Wilkins said.
Throughout the last century, the Wilkins family has acquired a large amount of timberland scattered across the towns of Mont Vernon and Amherst, and for decades the family has looked for ways to set the land aside so that it could still be used for timber harvesting and agriculture, while alleviating the tax burden associated with owning so much property.
Currently, Sally and Tom Wilkins own all of that land, acquired through inheritance and agreements with other family members, so the timing was right for the Wilkins to partner with the society.
"We've been trying to get the land into permanent protection so that one generation won't have to sell it to pay for the estate taxes for the generation before," said Wilkins.
But preserving the land isn't just about taxes for the Wilkins family. It's a philosophy.
"Land does not equal money to this family," she said. "Land is a treasure as it stands, and we don't think the best thing to do with land is to put a house on it."
Leaving space open for wildlife and, of course, people, is vital to the health of New Hampshire, especially the southern part of the state where development pressures are the heaviest, Wilkins said.
According to Brenda Charpentier, communications manager for the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, the Russell Farm and Forest Conservation Foundation has already established a $50,000 challenge grant to help raise the $190,000 needed for the easements.
Ian McSweeney, executive director of the Russell Foundation, said the Wilkins family's commitment to preserving the land over many generations was behind the foundation's decision to match donations dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000, through the grant.
"The family's protection of this land through their longterm stewardship and active management to provide lumber for this region speaks volumes as to how they view and treat the land," he said. "And the locations of these parcels add to existing conserved land in an area with high development pressure and in a part of the state where the majority of the population lives. People care a lot about what happens in their own back yards, and there are a lot of back yards impacted by this project."

The apartment is very central: walk to any point of interest and the
shopping area. The manager is full of solicitude and if the court is not
free parking, guides you to the nearest parking. Rooms are clean and
cozy, not spacious, but the Prague go to visit, not to stay in the room
all day. I liked the glass from the windows of the hall, which is
engraved. Near the apartment is an Italian restaurant, a Japanese
restaurant, a Czech and an Indian restaurant. - Anonymous
The apartment is about 6 months old so the furnishing and facilities are very new. More importantly, it is clean and well maintained. We were surprised that housekeeping was done daily! That's rather unusual for apartments. The location is also very good as all the tourist sights were within walking distance. We also liked the security as the main entrance could only be accessed by tapping our electronic key fob. - Anonymous
Everything !!!!! The apartment was great spotlessly clean , modern ,
comfy bed , nespresso machine ( much to our delight !! ) really hot
shower , plenty of towels and great heating ( which was handy as -5
outside !!) The location was brilliant - only 5 mins walk from the old
town square ! However although so close the apartment was in a very
quiet neighbourhood so we weren't disturbed by pubs / nightclubs
. We were here on honeymoon and I'd recommend the apartment and
prague for anyone seeking - Anonymous
It was a great location for us while visiting Prague. About a 10 minute walk from Charles Bridge and only two minutes from the metro. There are lots of places to eat nearby and a grocery store a block away. There is a great little square with a market during the day to buy pastries and stuff from. Beds were not great but ok. For being in a big city, the apartment was pretty quiet at night. It was great to have two separate rooms with lots of space. - Anonymous
Very, very quiet and right in the centre of Prague old town.Excellent location. Courteous, friendly and helpful staff. Veryclean.Spacious room. - Peter
Hotel was close to all the main attractions in Prague, the staff were
curteous and attentive. Rooms cleaned daily. Plenty of choice at
breakfast. My wife and I enjoyed our stay here and would definately stay
at this hotel again if we returned to Prague. - Anonymous
We enjoyed our short stat at Residence Agnes. Great location, short walking distance to the old town square. Nice and comfortable room, great breakfast and wonderful staff. - Nancy
First of all - thank you, Emporio team for the nice hospitality. We
liked our stay in your apartment very much and would definitely come
again. The aptmt is located very centrally just few steps from the tram
station and metro, also quite close to the railway station. By foot you
will arrive many Prag's attractions in few minutes. The aptmt itself
is clean, warm, equipped with all necessary staff for the city trip. We
were in nb 111 - it's called party apartment, as there are 4
separated rooms, - Anonymous

Hi: 8° Lo:1°
By Steve Carpenter Wednesday 02 January 2013 Updated: 04/01 14:27
JAGUAR'S E-Type is to appear on a special collection of stamps to celebrate the best of British Automotive legends.
The iconic sports car features alongside the Merchant Navy, some of the finest Locomotives of Northern Ireland and a special set of London Underground images to mark the 150th anniversary of the first underground railway in the world.
Jane Austen will also be celebrated in the stamps due to go into circulation next week as 2013 marks the bicentenary of the publication of Pride and Prejudice, one of the most popular British novels of all time.
Andrew Hammond, managing director of Royal Mail Stamps, said: "We had a fantastic programme last year across a variety of different topics and capped it off with our hugely popular Gold Medal stamps.
"That's a unique act to follow but the 2013 programme explores some of Britain's greatest achievements from the world of literature, industry, sport and modern society in a schedule that certainly contains something for everyone."

About Amy Collinsworth
Age: 20Hometown: RockfordHigh School: 2007 graduate of Jefferson High SchoolFamily: Joel and Carla CollinsworthCollinsworth herself knew women in that situation, and she began to see it as more of a problem than perhaps she realized. So along with another Rockford College student, she started planning the school's first Take Back the Night.
"It's a program that's designed to raise awareness of violent acts and abuse against women," Collinsworth said. "We realized that more students were affected by a violent act or knew someone who was."
So last spring, she helped launch an event, attended by about 50 people, that included a march around campus, a candlelight ceremony and information about attacks against woman. Her efforts were rewarded recently with a leadership award from Rockford College for Innovation in Programming.
But for Collinsworth, the success of the event was watching some women take a step toward healing.
"There's life after that," she said. "It doesn't have to define you."
Heading into her junior year, she already is planning to make Take Back the Night an annual event.
"You just don't want people to feel alone," she said. "It's important to know it's not your fault. It was important to get women out there, to start conversations, to spread knowledge."
And for the men on campus, Collinsworth wants her event to make a difference in that one crucial moment before a violent act starts. She hopes men "who might instigate these acts would realize the effects of it."
Beyond her involvement with Take Back the Night, she is active in a variety of areas on the Rockford College Campus. The Rockford native, a marketing major, is also on the campus activities board, president of the school's college division of Rotary International and has participated in Habitat for Humanity projects during the past two spring breaks. She is an orientation leader and student mentor. She plays trumpet in the school's newly launched pep band.
Such extracurriculars are simply a way, Collinsworth said, of giving back.
"I've always been involved in things," she said. "It's ingrained in me to do my best to help other people."

Nov 13, 2012Wow, well my first thought is I'm relieved and pleasantly surprised...the trailer they previously released did not do what the finish product has done: Impress. This is a true Call of Duty for a handheld for the first time ever. It feels like the console versions with Perks, Killstreaks, lots of weapons and customizations; only more compact and tighter. So far I've barely touched the campaign, I've played hostiles somewhat, and I've been rocking multiplayer A LOT (which matters the most, right?), and I'm thoroughly impressed. After playing Nihilistic's last effort Resistance: Burning Skies and trying really hard to like it, it just felt half-assed and unfinished. This doesn't feel that way (maybe R:BS was half-assed because they were working on this?), it feels much more polished, the movements, animations feel very much like a console COD. For any FPS fan and Vita owner I consider this a must buy. By the way, I don't play COD on consoles, hate them (I'm a BF3 player), but for the Vita it feels great. Good job, Nihilistic!… Expand
Nov 13, 2012Wow this game is actually good. took about 7 hours to complete. fun, addictive like the console version. as of now this is the Vita game to own(beside liberation and uncharted) If you love long hours online than get this game. Single player? Like all COD games you'll put that to rest after one try. grab this game now, now!!!
Nov 13, 2012My thoughts with about an hour of play as nobody else has reviewed yet: This game will sell Vitas. I've just hit level 3 on both mission and multi, and this is loads of fun. Perks, streaks etc is all there, fast network with very little lag on WiFi, its exactly what you think it could/hoped it would be. Sure its smaller maps, and watered down graphically from ps3, but this is a handheld unit, and I think too many already draw that comparison with all console game conversions. It feels slick to play, and my first impressions are all very positive. Campaign obviously isn't going to be as immersive as a console, but again I think they've done the franchise proud in representing the king of fps on a handheld. Must buy game IMO.… Expand
Nov 13, 2012I like many vita owners was worried when, I saw those first few clips of cod vita, I was upset, and gave up hope before the game even had any proper gameplay footage!, Also terrible websites like ign, was putting me off with their terrible reviews.. I've learnt go to lots of web sites not just one, because one person suger is another persons salt!, its an opinion ask for more.
also the devs who made this game also made rburning sky.. which was..turd!
however, they have redeemed them selves, in making a brilliant shooter, im so happy after doing homework watching a few clips on youtube!.. yes youtube, the game had me interested!, so I took the risk, and so happy I did
the ingame gameplay, isn't like the black ops 2 to for console which I also own, and loving, but its more bite sized, but great fun, very addictive!, every thing else is the same fast paces addictive, and best looking shooter on handheld ever it looks like black ops 1 on console, brilliant!
multiplayer is where this game is at, and dont be fooled just because its 4 v 4 don't think you wont be in a gun fight, it has the feel of a console multiplayer you will love it!, controls are great only after 3 or 4 goes it became natural!
I now feel bad about the things i wrote on forums about the game, this is cod at its best! buy it!!!
A bit of advice to who ever does advertising for vita, more gameplay less bs adverts, people on youtube did all the hard work, and help me buy this game!
BUY IT... I also bought need for speed another must have for vita owners, I think the vita will be fine, after a year of uncertainty I now know its capable of bringing great games like the console big brothers!.
BUY IT NOW.… Expand
Nov 13, 2012Surprised by the quality after all the doom and gloom!
It's excellent hope it helps sell some vitas!! Looks better graphically than the old trailers which nearly killed this game
Thanks god it's good!!!
Nov 20, 2012I just don't understand why professional reviewers are giving this game such low marks. The characters play smoothly, shooting is great (with some aim assist), the multiplayer is the usual cod experience, with minor differences. The graphics are not as good as in Uncharted, but they're nice - much better than Resistance: Burning Skies, for example, which deserved all the bad marks it received. I'm glad I didn't pay too much attention to reviewers with this game. I'm giving it a 9 to compensate for the really bad reviews it had; I think the correct grade would be 8, actually. I think most people will enjoy this game.… Expand
Nov 13, 2012So surprised by this game. I've just finished AC3:Liberation and Ragnarok Odyssey so decided to pick this up despite the absolute lack of trailers, screenshots, etc. Previews from several gaming sites like IGN weren't too hot either. However, after booting it up and spending some time on multiplayer, I have to give it a 10. It's practically, a downsized, compacted version of the home console multiplayer. 4V4 only but combined with the small maps, it makes for frantic, fun gameplay. It's also pretty much lag and bug free.A good analogy for this would be that Black Ops liberation compared to Black Ops 2 is like the Ipad mini vs the Ipad 4th gen, its smaller, less graphically impressive, yet holds all the joy of the larger version in a smaller package you can bring anywhere you want. Extremely impressed and very pleasantly surprised by Nihilistic. Great job!!!… Expand
Nov 13, 2012To be honest it's a very good game. Of course some people expected a real console version, but from a Handheld view, this game is very good. I like the Unit13 kind of single player mode, this because it's a handheld version of COD and therefore it should give you a short entertainment. It's addictive. @Azinot, I think you have never really played Black ops or other FPS games from the Franchise? Because the maps etc are pretty much in-line with the Franchise so I have a feeling that you try to troll the score!… Expand
Nov 14, 2012I must say I'm a bit surprised how good COD Declassified actually is! Considering Nihilistic was the developer and I was a little disappointed with Resistance Burning Skies, COD Declassified definitely has a much more refined feel to just about everything in the game from gameplay to graphic. I can already tell with just 3+ hours time spent playing that the survival mode is pretty addicting and will make Call Of Duty Declassified my most played Vita game even after I've 3 stared all the campaign mission.… Expand
Nov 13, 2012Call of Duty Declassified is a must have for any Vita own, the game-play is really impressive and you can take a lot of joy out the maps. the visuals are crisp and the controls are sweet, but sometimes i tend to struggle when throwing a stun lol. The only thing i would like to see included is zombies and a few more game modes such as domination and search and destroy. Qverall, brilliant game, i just about put the game down so i can write this review, anyway back to playing for another 6 hours.… Expand
Nov 13, 2012Nihilistic goes out with a bang! Declassified has everything one would want from a portable CoD effort: Bite-sized campaign missions, AI waves (but not zombies), and fantastic 4v4 online multiplayer. I'm blown away by how fluid the multiplayer action is, too - especially considering how poor Resistance Burning Skies was. I digress. If you're looking for Call of Duty on the go, look no further than Declassified. It may just be the best portable FPS of all time.… Expand
Nov 13, 2012Without a shred of doubt the closest anyone has ever come to getting a full fledged FPS onto a portable console. Certainly not perfect but really commendable. Good job nihilistic, you're forgiven for Resistance: Burning Skies
Nov 13, 2012Its really simple, this game has had effectively no exposure prior to launch which is really shocking for what could have been a system seller. After playing it for like 10 hours, have to say, its a 10/10 for a handheld. Fun singleplayer, relatively bug free and smooth multiplayer and a very authentic FPS/COD experience on the go. Get it!
Nov 13, 2012Pure COD in yours hand, if you want more buy the x360/PS3 version. It´s reduced, next version maybe will be best, has a very short campaign... but the feeling playing is like all the COD.
Nov 13, 2012Picked this up today and was a bit sceptic due to the fact that no reviews could be found anywhere before this game came out but the gamble paid off as this is actually really good! A couple of the multiplayer maps are too small but the actual gameplay is solid COD. Rank system is as in-depth as ever and I found myself constantly playing just one more game to try and unlock that extra attachment. Despite the appalling rip off that was Fifa 13 and a few unplayable games, this looks to be a good year for Vita overall with the likes of LBP, NFSMW, AC, and finally this. Would recommend.… Expand
Nov 13, 2012Very suprised by the game, the Multiplayer is brilliant! The most time i've ever spent playing my vita! I sat on the sofa for 3 hours straight. No connection issues like R:BS had, no lag. Matchmaking is quick and they just patched in Ad-Hoc play! Great effort Nihilistic!
Nov 13, 2012Just like everyone else so far, I am completely surprised at how well this game actually came out after playing the mediocre Resistance: Burning Skies by Nihilistic earlier this year. Definitely the best FPS to come to handheld hands down.
Nov 13, 2012Ok, let me start by saying that Activition has made a faithful attempt to give Cod fanatics a enthralling and fast-paced FPS as we all know and respect it to be. After a few hours gameplay, i'm yet to find any glitches so the smoothness of the game took me by surprise, the game is impressive graphically but obviously toned down to suit its capabilities. The main killsteaks are included but i would of preferred a few more options when choosing. Aiming down the site is beautiful not to mention doing a 360 sniper kill! All the guns from the previous black ops are included as you would expect . My only dissapointment about the game was that Search & Destroy and Domination was not included in the game modes, with these game modes the game would of easily been a PS Vita legend. overall, i reccommend this to any Call of Duty fan as this Action-packed beauty will keep you occupied daily.… Expand
Nov 13, 2012This is the first handheld true cod experience and in that way it succeeds. The graphics are allot better than expected and so is the game play. It is very fun to play and does feels like cod without question. I highly recommend this game. However on the minus sides its only 4 x 4 multilayer but I heard it was due to the vitals party limitations, it has not got enough maps (although downloads hopefully will add more). Nihlistic has done a fabulous job at the same. It is allot better than every expected and hopefully it will help vita success. Buy this game now.… Expand
Nov 13, 2012Much better than I expected. Very much a genuine COD experience on a handheld. Recommend to any FPS fan. Only thing i wish for is ZOMBIES!! ( could be introduced in DLC).
Nov 16, 2012OK big up one of the other reviews that starts with "never played this game but" LOL... So Nihilistic basically ate a bullet with the 8 months to get this ready on time for Sony which is why they are making the move to phone games. Activision hasn't been there at all and it isn't likely they will do very much after they take over the updates past patch 1.02. The good news is that if you just want the best FPS ever on a handheld this IS it and lots of people are having a great time with this game. The scoring for this is rediculous and in an alternate dimension this same game under a different name having nothing to do with Resistance Burning Skies or CoD would get more appreciation. Thanks for the effort Nihilistic and for using what resources you had to focus on the most important aspects of the game - that being the game control, steady framerate, and the multiplayer component... As far as I'm concerned I am enjoying this game as well as can be expected. I ride the bus for 3 hours a day which is the only time I play video games and this is THE BEST shooter available on the go. I realize my score is a bit higher than I feel this game is "worth" for the pricetag (not that that should be a scoring factor IMO) but this Metacritic page has basically turned into a food fight with about half of the reviews being completely unrealistic. If anything this will keep any more Vita games from being $49.99 so :)… Expand
Nov 13, 2012I was really surprised by how good this game is, They did a awesome job on single player and multiplayer. I think the developer should be pleased and this will definately sell Vitas.
Nov 13, 2012It´s very good. It´s a good game. Graphics looks perfect. Control is very good. It´s COD in a great state. Campaing is 2 hours, but is funny of turn play. Online goes perfect
Nov 13, 2012Well down Nihilistic! A big step up from Resistence Burning Skies. Its not perfect but it sets the basis for future Call of Dutys on the vita. Multiplayer is very entertaining and will have longevity. Must have for vita owners.
Nov 13, 2012Black ops:Declassified is one last effort from now extinct company, Nihilistic. In interviews I have heard the developers' COD finaticism, upon playing the game this shone through the usual COD-aesthetics because unlike BO2; this game has been finely tuned for the Vita apart from the dash controls of which appear to be a minor flaw and are picked up after time is spent with this gem.
Goodbye Nihilistic and thankyou! It's a shame you can't make one next year!… Expand
Nov 13, 2012every one who give this game a high score is really play it not like all the battlefield fan boys who give it a low score and they even not try the game but want to harm the score and they must now that the most favorite shooter game is cod
Nov 13, 2012i think this is a must buy game for any vita owners do not miss all the fun in this game the multiplayer is a blast wow i love you call of duty black ops declassified
Nov 13, 2012This game is the must have vita title. Graphics are much improved over resistance: burning skies as well as controls. Sounds are much better but still slightly compressed. it has almost everything the console version has. Which is a huge plus considering it shouldnt be compared. Many maps are small which make for a great free for all match of up to 8 players or 4 vs 4 team games. Anyone giving this game low scores is just doing it to lower the metacritic score. I have AC3, Uncharted: GOlden Abyss, NFS: Most Wanted, MGS3 HD, Resistance, and more games for my vita but this is by far the very best available. A Short single player campaign but its made for portable playing dont expect the usual CoD campaign. The multiplayer is unmatched by any other game available on a portable. vitas game of the year.… Expand
Nov 13, 2012Way better than I expected, graphics, multiplayer, low on maps and only 4x4 but it plays great and really feels like COD. Singleplayer is too short, but I never played it anyway in console, I will be playing this game for months since I travel a lot. It's a bit expensive but well worth it, well done Niihilistic, incredible but true.
Nov 13, 2012I gave the game an 8.5 because of how fluid it ran, how well the controls work, and how closely it resembles the call of duty formula. Everyones been talking about what this game could have been, but unlike resistance, this game keeps the cod formula intact, and is a great stepping stone. If the next iteration is too similar, then knock it points for what it could have been. But this is a great portable title for on-the-go gaming… Expand
Jan 28, 2013Declassified feels like a disappointing DLC bundle rather than a full release. In its best moments it proves that Call of Duty could work on the console, and it has some good ideas – earning XP across single-player for multiplayer unlocks is particularly neat – but it's exceptionally hard to justify how this ended up with a $70 price tag. The very best PS Vita games have proven that, in the portable market, size can still matter. This lesson has, ironically, been ignored by gaming's biggest franchise. [January 2013, p76]
Jan 14, 2013This game should have stayed classified or, at the very least, been redacted.

Dec 23, 2013This has been one of the best seasons of television I have had the privilege of watching. The second season improves on season one in many ways. The character plots are stronger. Each character has their own thing, and sometimes those stories will intercept and become entangled. The best two episodes (Episodes 6 & 12) both stretch the limits of the show, and it is better for that. This season is fantastic.

text: A man from Sheffield joined forces with The Prostate Cancer Charity, last week, speaking to Ministers, MPs and other decision makers about prostate cancer awareness. Denton Wilson, 55, from Sheffield, attended a crucial panel discussion on the potential impact of NHS reforms at the House of Commons. Professor Steve Field, who led the Government's listening exercise on the NHS reforms, was on the panel. Denton, who has been successfully treated for the disease, asked the panel at the meeting, held by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Cancer (APPG), and coinciding with Ethnic Minority Cancer Awareness Week, what the Government was doing to let African Caribbean men know about their increased risk of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in men in the UK. Every year 37,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer. The Charity is campaigning to ensure that men living with prostate cancer, and men with a higher risk of developing the disease have the information, services and support they need at a time when more men are being diagnosed with the disease than ever before. Denton, who was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 1998 just before losing his father from the disease, said: "I was really pleased to be invited to the House of Commons. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and more men are living with disease than ever before. As someone who has experienced prostate cancer, I know how vital it is that information, support and advice are available. This is even more crucial for African Caribbean men, like me, who are three times more likely to develop prostate cancer than white men." Denton adds: "My father died of prostate cancer when I was 42 years old. If he had more information about this cancer he might still be alive today. I only went to my GP when I found out my father had this disease. It is crucial that more men are aware of the disease. With the NHS reforms I'm concerned that men won't get the information they need about prostate cancer. We need Government support to ensure this doesn't happen." Owen Sharp, Chief Executive of The Prostate Cancer Charity, who accompanied Denton to the meeting, said: "It was so important that the APPG looking at the future configuration of cancer services had a chance to hear directly from someone who spoke informatively, and with personal passion, about the impact that prostate cancer had on his life. Denton's questions also illustrated that any future changes to the provision of cancer care services really need to address the unacceptable variations in outcomes for men in different geographical areas and from different parts of the community. "Last year the Government invested £11 million in cancer awareness programmes for bowel, breast and lung cancer. Yet prostate cancer, the most common cancer affecting men in the UK was left out. It is crucial that MPs hear first hand from men personally affected by the disease.
