Consultant Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Deloitte in August 2014.
I applied online (I currently work in this field for a competitor) for a consultant position within the Human Capital Practice: Organization, Transformation & Talent Group. Within a week a I heard from a recruiter, who setup a phone interview.
Phone Interview: Basic questions about my background, current employer, and reasons for applying to Deloitte. Lasted 30 mins, was pretty straight forward. Just be confident in your answers.
A day later I was contacted for another phone interview, this time with a Sr. Manager from the office I indicated I wanted to work from. I really appreciated that Deloitte made the effort to get someone from this office, as it is not in one of their major cities
Technical Phone Interview: Asked me about my experiences within change management consulting. He would ask me to explain things in more detail, and drill down into my examples. Advice is to again be confident, have lots of examples of the work you have done on hand, and be able to frame your examples (size of team/project, budget, what you did, results, etc).
A few days later I was invited to in-person interviews. Deloitte flew me out on a Thursday night, and back Friday afternoon. The format was 1 case and 2 behavioral. To prep, I walked through Deloitte's case prep online, made sure I had solid experiences to share for about 5 different types of questions, and had a good "story" to tell about why Deloitte and why I wanted to switch.
Case: Very straightforward. I was given the paper with the case on it. Focus was on an ERP implementation. I took my time to organize an initial response and explained how I setup/grouped the info (Strategy, opportunities, challenges). The interviewer walked me through the case, asking questions and followup questions. Key advice is to link everything back to the strategy, bring in ideas not in the case, and be able to come up with how "your" services will add value (+profit or -cost) to the company.
Behavioral: 2 separate interviews. Very similar. Be able to have solid examples that show a variety of experiences. Be personable, that is what consulting is about. Be able to show results and value from your past experiences.
Afterwards I followed up with emails. Heard back the following Tuesday via a phone call. Took about 2 weeks to work out the offer before I accepted. Everyone I met was incredibly friendly and professional. Very impressed overall.
I countered the salary (which was already at the top of the Glassdoor range) and they met me in the middle. Always negotiate. One email that took 10 mins to craft pocketed me a decent sum. Also, don't sound too eager when you are offered, and take your time before writing the counter offer.

I applied online. The process took 6+ months – interviewed at Deloitte (Arlington, VA).
Initial phone interview followed by one face-face interview. The initial phone interview is basically for HR to ensure you can speak proper English and present yourself articulately over the phone. The face-face interview was a lot less intense than I expected.

I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Deloitte (Dallas, TX).
There was an interview on campus and then an office visit. Focused a lot on the culture and my leadership background. The interviewees were partners of the firm and very approachable. They took a holistic approach focusing on all areas including grades, leadership experience, community involvement.

I applied through an employee referral – interviewed at Deloitte.
It was 1-on-1. Nothing special or different about it. I met with 3 managers, who asked me assorted questions. They basically had decided, before I got there, they were going to hire me, based on my resume.

- Just the usual ones: tell us about yourself, etc. 1 Answer

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks – interviewed at Deloitte.
Applied through referral and was called for a pre-screen phone call within a week (are you a citizen, are you ok with travel, etc). Then I was scheduled for an in person 2 weeks later. Interviewed with three people one-on-one: principial, senior consultant and manager. Received response 3 weeks later.
Interview Questions
- They proposed a hypothetical problem and asked me to resolve it. Each person asked their own questions and they seemed to be making it up as they went along. There wasn't really structure, nor a single question that was asked by all three. From that I got the impression they weren't looking for something specific, mostly personality. Answer Question

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Deloitte.
I applied through campus recruiting. The process was very straight forward, Deloitte is very transparent as the evaluate candidates. After applying through my school's career service I was contacted for a first round of interviews - this included two separate pieces. The first piece was a behavioral interview followed by a case. Deloitte evaluates you on every part of your interview, this includes the greeters.
After I finished the case I was told I would know by 5 PM that day if they wanted me to come back. They called a few hours after I left and asked me to come in the following day.
The second day was very close to the first in initial structure; greeter, behavior and case. The difference was the amount of time with each person/people, in the second day the case is much more in depth. There is a tool on the Deloitte website that will help you prepare for these cases and I highly recommend using it. Deloitte's cases are not as hard as what most business schools will put you through but they are also given in a unique structure which adds to the difficulty. Be prepared when you go in and make sure you are confidant in your answers, in the qualitative section they are looking not just how you solve the case but also how you process the case. With the quantitative section they want to see how you gather the data just as much as they want to see you answer the question - that said, don't get the wrong answer: prepare for these interviews there are no hidden aspects and because of that Deloitte expects that you've done your homework and can do some basic math with people looking at you.
After the interviews I was told I would hear back in two weeks. I had gathered all the contact information from the interviewing/greeting members of Deloitte and wrote each short thank you note.
I revived my final offer exactly two weeks later.
The overall interview is set up to have a behavior (little or no stress) and a case (mild to moderate stress) to truly gauge if you are the right fit for Deloitte, be yourself and prepare.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3+ months – interviewed at Deloitte (Arlington, VA) in March 2015.
An employee sent in my CV for a specific position back in late November, but I received an email stating that my experience was not a fit for that position and didn't hear anything else for months. I did eventually hear from Deloitte HR in late February, and the process went incredibly fast after that.
I spoke with a recruiter over the phone, and after discussing my experience she immediately scheduled me to come into the Rosslyn office for a series of three interviews in one day. A week and a half later I went in for the interviews. I stayed in one small room and three employees (manager, senior manager, and principal) rotated around to talk with me.
There were three interviews: fit, behavioral, and case. The fit and behavioral interviews were very relaxed and mainly revolved around my previous work and how I handled specific situations (how did you handle a situation when your team members did not agree on an issue?). The interviewers were incredibly nice and made me feel immediately at ease. The case interview started a little tense (I was nervous), and they asked me about implementing a new system at a government agency. I wasn't quite expecting this, as I do not have a technical background at all, so make sure you know the SDLC basics. It was a relatively short case, and I relaxed as the interviewer answered my questions.
It really seemed like the priority was how well you present yourself and how enthusiastic you are about the position and the company. Remember to relax!

I applied through college or university – interviewed at Deloitte.
For the first round interviews there were two back to back thirty minute interviews, one behavioral interview and one case interview. Applicants were notified that evening about second round interviews, which involved a one hour case interview. The cases were more qualitative than quantitative. All of the interviewers were friendly and pleasant.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Deloitte (Washington, DC) in February 2015.
I was contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn. I was initially skeptical as this was for their Federal TS&A sector and my background is not technical. After exchanging a few emails with the recruiter and getting a few things straight I had a quick 20 min phone chat with him that night. We talked about my current duties, past jobs, etc. We also talked about salary expectation. This exact number was repeated back to me later in the process, so be shrewd. I have heard of people who were dropped at this point for giving to high a number, but I am not sure that is true. Either way, give it some thought. I wish I had stalled and thought a number through better, but I still am getting a great offer.
Step 2 was hearing from an internal recruiter who set up a technical interview with a senior manager. This was about a 30 minute talk and was more a "fit" interview than anything revolving around a hard skills test.
Step 3 was a in-person 3 round interview. Case Study with a senior manager, another "fit" interview with a partner and then another technical interview with a different senior manager.
Advice: Don't worry trying to shoe horn yourself into this job. It really felt like it came down to two things: attitude and aptitude. Did they want to work with you and did they think you showed a propensity for learning. Have you done this sort of consulting before? Probably all the better. I had never done a case study interview before and I was really sweating it. I did my homework, but my interviewer was REALLY gracious and was more interested in how I problem solved than whether or not I knew technical jargon.
I am awaiting the official offer, but I do plan on negotiating.

Picture: Sir Paul McCartney The Brit Awards 2008 held at Earls Court - Show London, England - 20.02.08
Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have been invited back to Israel - 43 years after the Beatles were banned from the country. The Fab Four were due to play a gig in the Middle Eastern nation in 1965, but were banished from the country after the then-government refused to grant the necessary permits over fears their music would corrupt Israeli youths. But the Israeli ambassador to London, Ron Prosor, is now set to apologise to the remaining two bandmembers, as well as the relatives of the late John Lennon and George Harrison, to express the country's "great regret", according to Israeli newspaper the Yediot Ahronot. Prosor is currently in the rockers' native Liverpool, England, where he is due to present an official letter of apology to Lennon's sister Julia Baird on Monday (28Jan08) at The Beatles Story museum. Prosor is also reported to be inviting MCCartney and Starr to visit Israel in May (08) as part of the country's 60th anniversary celebrations to mark its founding in May 1948.

Determination is a word that means very much...
Determination is a word that means very much to me. I use determination in every aspect of my life. I consider it VERY important to be determined with whatever I am facing in life and whatever I am trying to accomplish. I'm a single father of a beautiful little 7 year old girl. She means the world to me and whoever wants to get to know me has to be understanding that my daughter is always in my life. So, if you want to have me in your life, then eventually when the timing is right, you would meet my daughter and she would be part of the life too. I work for Ford Motor Company and on the days that I do work, they tend to be long days of work. That is why I have a hard time going out and meeting new people, so I figured that maybe I would try this out and see if it helps me get to meet some new people. I love doing tons of different things, from the wildest stuff you can think of ( 4 wheeling, hot air balloon rides, rock climbing..... wanting to try tons of new things for sure) all the way down to the relaxing things for a night like ( minature golf, shooting pool, playing card or board games, or watching a movie either at the theatre or at home on the couch in front of the fireplace). I have a great sense of humor. I love to laugh and I love to make the people around me laugh and feel good. To me that is a huge part of life is to be able to enjoy it and feel good while we are here. Why not smile when we can and laugh and enjoy life?!? I really like to be creative or artistic in ways, I love to write. I have tons of stories/screenplays that I am writing right now. I have been told I am very imaginative and creative with my writings and other things too. I would love to meet a fun easy going girl that is drama free and knows how to take care of herself, that can go out and be adventurous and try fun new things or that can just sit at home and relax and cuddle on those rainy days outside! If you think you are this girl and you want to get to know a great guy then you may have just found him!

I love to watch movies, play poker, go putt putting, bowling. I love to cook out on the grill and spend time with my daughter. I can either go out and have a good time or stay home and have a good time too. Up for trying some new things.
I tend to read a lot of children's books right now because I am reading to my daughter and trying to help her learn how to read.

Join me after the cut and I'll tell you why none of that stuff worries me.
The Secret World is a terrific, original MMORPG. Sure, it's an acquired taste when it comes to combat animations, and the PvP is unabashedly borked. Funcom has done something special with this game, though, and at the risk of repeating what I've said multiple times before, there isn't an MMO like it that mixes a modern setting, skill-based advancement, and a pro-quality narrative center.
Secondly, look at Funcom's history as a company. Its first MMO was Anarchy Online, and as a paying launch-day customer, I can tell you that it was an absolute disaster of epic proportions. Name any MMORPG released in the last decade, any one at all, and I guarantee you that it had a smoother launch than AO. Yes, I'm including Star Wars Galaxies, Darkfall, and any number of other abortive attempts at both early stability and customer service.
After the dark days surrounding its launch, though, AO righted itself in a big way. It grew. It added features, content, and expansions at what passes for a rapid clip (unless your name is Trion). I don't know this for sure, but I imagine there were some layoffs involved in AO's early days (the MMO blogosphere didn't exist in 2001, and what passed for gaming press at the time didn't give a damn about MMOs even if they knew of any beyond EverQuest). Such was the extent of the game's teething.
You know the rest of the story, though. The game continues to this day. It's slated for a graphical overhaul, and while it's not setting any population records, it's beloved by many, and more importantly, it's turning a profit for its parent company nearly 12 years after its maiden voyage.
Age of Conan's development history tells a similar tale, albeit one that's not quite as long. The game debuted to much fanfare (and a million or so box sales) in May of 2008, only to be crucified in the press and the court of public opinion due to various shortcomings, both perceived and actual. The game's development director was fired or resigned depending on whom you talk to, and a major rewrite of the title's combat systems led to a seismic shift in its target audience.
What was initially a PvP-driven game morphed into one of the more content-rich PvE experiences on the entire MMO market. It did so despite stiff competition that same year from Warhammer Online, which many pundits and players mistakenly assumed would be the end of AoC. Four years and several dozen devs later, AoC has a massive expansion and a good-sized adventure pack under its belt. It has a ton of new zones, quest content, and high-end PvE stuff that stacks up well against competing titles, and most crucially, it has more of all that on the way in spite of Funcom's recent financial troubles.
My best guess is that The Secret World is in a similar spot. We already know that due to the Dreamworld engine and the single-server tech surrounding it, maintenance and upkeep on the game is possible at a reduced cost. I don't know exactly how many jobs were affected in the recent restructuring, but some reports speculated as much as 50% of the firm was let go.
Regardless, Funcom's live service hasn't missed a beat. The game remains stable, and customer service ticket times and responses are no different than they were prior to the layoffs. We did see multiple delays on the Issue #2: Digging Deeper content patch, and this was probably due to Funcom trying to do more with less.
One look at the patch notes confirms that it was a huge undertaking. In addition to the new weapon, new abilities, cosmetic options, and high-end group content update in the form of the lair revamps, there were a frickin' ton of bug fixes, tweaks, and minor additions.
Tornquist and company for being so ambitious. Early returns on the Digging Deeper patch are good. There's new mission content of course, but there were also some welcome mission bug fixes. If you want me to throw in a negative, here it is: It's vexing to see the gear manager issues persist, but I feel as if the firm has earned itself a little time to get everything right by virtue of shipping an MMO that's simply fun, warts and all.
And let's be real. The Secret World was always going to be a niche game. Funcom may not have met its projections when it sold 200,000 units, but I think that's more of a business planning blunder than an indictment of the game. Mechanically, TSW is as deep as MMOs come, and it's generally impervious to facerolling. The narrative is similarly layered, even moreso when compared to the competition in the MMO story department.
Many gamers can't abide complexity and freeform advancement, so I feel that 50,000 (paying) players going forward would be quite an accomplishment. Does TSW have 50,000 paying players? I have no idea, and that's really beside the point. It does have a future, particularly if both Funcom and its fans can continue to weather these inevitable year-one pains.
Yes, Jef Reahard is paid to play The Secret World. But he's not paid by Funcom; Massively leaves the bribes and the bad grammar to its imitators (it's a conspiracy!). Chaos Theory comes your way every Thursday, bringing you Gaia's latest news, guides, and commentary.

They admit it... NBA officials admit they missed a call in Charlotte Bobcats win over the Toronto Raptors
Originally written on Hip Hoop Junkies | Last updated 11/22/12
posted by Romy AquinoFor all of you Raptors fans that were angry at the no-call at the end of Wednesday night's Charlotte Bobcats 98-97 win over the Toronto Raptors, the NBA has admitted their mistake. The league has officially announced that they messed up on the NBA Official Twitter account.(Via the @NBAOfficial Twitter account)NBA Officials miss foul call at end of Tor-Cha game last night; video and explanation athttp://NBA.com/official .It was a heartbreaking loss for the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night especially where officials missed a call that would would have had an impact on the outcome. The Bobcats' Michael Kidd-Gilchrist did in fact foul Andrea Bargnani on the final shot in the closing seconds with the Raptors down 98-97. The league further explained that "Bargnani should have been given two free throws and the clock stopped with approximately 2.4 seconds remaining in the game." Now this doesn't change the outcome but just an official announcement from league off...

Re: What the Heck is my Dog doing??Posted by: Judy Churchfield

In Reply to: What the Heck is my Dog doing??
: I don't even know how to describe this behaviour. So I'm going to do the best that I can. Sometimes when I give my Jack a treat, he'll follow me around the house with it in his mouth until I sit down. When I sit down he wants to climb me like a mountain. He not trying to mount me..Just climb me..Say I'm on the couch he'll sit on the back of the couch and try to jump on my head (with his treat sill in his mouth). He won't leave you alone until you let him climb you, sometimes he'll sit on the back of the couch and try to climb on my shoulders.So I'll move and he'll follow. I try standing up until he eats his treat, but then he'll stand on my feet and jump at me. What Is my Jack doing?? I don't understand this moutain Jack thing he's doing.
: Any help you could give me
: Tiffany
I'm wondering what kind of treat. If it's a rawhide bone etc (instead of small edible snack) that may be your problem.
My guess is he's just trying to get your attention. Either put the treat away if it's annoying to you or have a good time by throwing the treat for your Jack to fetch. He wants to play :)

What am I doing wrong?
Hi everybody,
First of all sorry for my englisch. I have a big problem with the USB otg function. An USB mouse works well but USB drives don't work. I have copied the text from terminal emulator:
app_162@android:/ $ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
app_162@android:/ $ su
app_162@android:/ # mkdir /mnt/sdcard/usb
mkdir: can't create directory '/mnt/sdcard/usb': File exists
2 /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/sdcard/usb <
mount: mounting /dev/block/sda1 on /mnt/sdcard/usb failed: No such file or directory
255|app_162@android:/ #
I also tried sda instead of sda1. No difference.
Please could anybody help me.
ls /dev/block/
First of all, sorry for my English.
I've tried mounting my external 1 TB Freecom HDD (socket powered) with 800GB NTFS, 200GB FAT32. I'm trying to copy videos from the FAT32 partition to my device. I've entered the commands in Terminal Emulator, but it only tells me: Stopped (signal). I've attached a screenshot. When I use ASTRO and open the /mnt/sdcard/usb folder it tells me: no data.
What am I doing wrong?
ls /dev/block/
Thanks for the app. I installed BusyBox Free and started the app. It tells me everything is OK. But when I click Mount it says: No devices found.
I set up like this: Freecom HDD (Freecom Network Drive XS 1TB Mini USB) -> adapter (mumbi Mini USB Male -> USB Female) -> HTC USB cable -> HTC One S. (I'd post links to my stuff, but I need at least 10 posts here for that...) The HDD is socket powered, so I shouldn't need any other cables. I also tried another HDD (Western Digital), but it didn't work either. What am I doing wrong? Am I using wrong cables?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall reading somewhere (this thread maybe) that the HTC One S doesn't provide power to USB devices, hence the need for a Y cable. I believe the first post of this thread explains the proper setup. I hope this helps.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U
Yes I know I need power, but my HDD is socket powered! Do I then still need a Y-cable? Because when I plug it in to the socket I hear my HDD running. I thought you only need an Y-cable if you want to connect a USB stick or something else that does not have it's own power source?
You're right, sorry. I looked up your drive and it has its own power adapter. The y cable shouldn't be needed. I don't know much about Android, but since its similar to linux... Plug the HDD in and in the terminal run "dmesg", and copy approximately the last 15 lines or so. If the phone sees the drive at all, some sd* string should appear in the dmesg output.
Also, what ROM are you using?

Arabic numerals (actually Indian) first attested 1727; they were introduced in Europe by Gerbert of Aurillac (later Pope Sylvester II) after a visit to Islamic Spain in 967-970. A prominent man of science, he taught in the diocesan school at Reims, but the numbers made little headway against conservative opposition in the Church until after the Crusades. The earliest depiction of them in English, in "The Crafte of Nombrynge" (c.1350) correctly identifies them as "teen figurys of Inde."

There have been rumblings about the judges leaving "Dancing with the Stars" for a couple of seasons now and those surrounding head Judge Len Goodman grew louder as season 17 drew to a close. The twice weekly trans-Atlantic flights have been wearing on the 69 year old. What may not have been widely known is that fellow judge Bruno Tonioli makes those trips with Len and if Len goes, he may too according to a Dec. 1 report on Celebrity Dirty Laundry.
The 11-hour flights from London to LA and back again have been causing exhaustion and disorientation for Len who has also complained of not having enough time with his family. HE is based out of London where he performs the same judging duties on "DWTS" parent show, "Strictly Come Dancing" alongside Tonioli, who is also based in the UK. Goodman has expressed a desire to cut back and if forced to choose, would opt to remain in London and just do the British show each week.
While Bruno has not made any noise about the grind wearing on him, there is a good chance that if Len drops out of the show, he will too. Together, the two judges add much of the humorous repartee and professional guiding influence on the show. If they both leave, it could have tremendous impact on the show. It would leave only Carrie Ann Inaba as the remaining original judge and just who might work well beside her is up for grabs.
The show has experimented with guest judges this year. Cher, Julianne Hough and Maksim Chmerkovskiy have all taken a turn at the judges table. While Cher's appearance was not like an audition for the spot, it is possible the other two were. Both have appeared as professional dancers on the show and have a healthy knowledge of ballroom dance making them technically good choices. Would their background as pros on the show or their familial ties – each has sibling currently dancing as pros on the show – have any bearing on their ability to remain unbiased?
DO you think it's time for a shakeup at the judges' table? Who would you want to see in those seats if Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli leave "Dancing with the Stars"?

No surprises here: Alan Gordon suspended three games
Apr 16, 2013, 4:36 PM EDT
No one paying attention will be surprised by the three-game ban handed out by Major League Soccer's Commissioner Don Garber today to San Jose Earthquakes forward Alan Gordon.
Garber will also require Gordon to attend diversity and sensitivity training on top of the training all MLS clubs regularly receive at the beginning of each season.
During a heated exchange Sunday, Gordon directed a homophobic slur toward Portland Timbers midfielder Will Johnson.
(MORE: Alan Gordon's apologizes for latest MLS run-in with homophobic slurs)
Colin Clark, playing then for the Houston Dynamo, received the same three-game ban for a homophobic slur directed toward a ball boy. Later in 2012 the Seattle Sounders Marc Burch was handed the very same length suspension for his gay slur during a match. In Burch's case, that cost him playoff matches.
If you watch the incident from Sunday closely, you can see Gordon wince immediately after unleashing his unkind and unwise words for Johnson – as if he already understands that a suspension is coming, even just seconds later. He knows he has messed up.
And in fact, it appears that Johnson holds up three fingers and says "three games."
The players all know what's at stake on this stuff – which is why containing the rush of blood to the head remains a central, necessary element in every player's tool chest.

All this attention to the gay cause is making US soccer an even bigger joke than it already is.

The only jokes are the content of this entire comment section, and your supposition of molestation. Thinking that's the principle cause of homosexuality may have worked in the 70's.

Why are our sunsets so colorful right now? - 04/08/14
At some point in your life, you've stopped to stare at a beautiful sunset or sunrise. Lately, it seems that there have been more colorful sunsets than usual in Central Texas.
Why is that? It is the time of year? Pollution?
Lets break it down..
First off, clear blue skies appear blue to us because of scattering. Sunlight is composed of all colors, but since air molecules are so small, sunlight scatters blue much more effectively than any other color.
Now, at sunrise and sunset, the light must travel increasingly longer paths and is scattered by more air molecules. So by the time it reaches our eye, most of the blue light has been scattered out of the beam, leaving the oranges and reds.
Not really. Otherwise, London, New York, and Los Angeles would have breath-taking skies! In fact, according to Stephen F. Corfidi with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), clear air is the key to the brilliant colors in sunrises and sunsets.
Corfidi states that since the air circulation is more sluggish in the summer and it's the time year we see the most smog and haze (sunset killers), late Fall and Winter provide the best conditions for sunrise and sunset viewing!
Sunsets can be gorgeous with not a cloud in the sky, but the most impressive sunrises and sunsets usually have several clouds to bounce the light off of. However, not just any cloud will do. The best clouds are mid to high level cirrus and cumulus clouds.
Stephen F. Corfidis full report, The Colors of Sunset and Twilight http://www.spc.noaa.gov/publications/corfidi/sunset/
We've already seen so many beautiful sunrises and sunsets in Central Texas. (The pictures included are courtesy Josiah Tijerina, Adrian Gutierrez, and Rich P.)
If you snap a picture of our beautiful sky, send it to firstname.lastname@example.com or post it on our Facebook or Twitter pages to share the love!
Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy the view!

I dont know, maybe they feel uncomfortable talking about sexuality in general with people who are in K through 8, maybe it isnt a gay or lesbian thing they just dont know how to talk to kids about sex. Its hard enough to learn about hetero sexuality, and maybe they think having to discuss gay male and lesbian female sexuality is also just tough. So maybe having to explain gay and lesbian sexual things and sexuality in general is just complicated for some people.
by fashionqn on 3/6/2013 11:02:30 PM
I'm 100% ok with homosexuals, I'm the kind of person that judges a person on their true personality, but this is kinda weird to me why would they keep teaching kids that being ur-self (if ur gay) is wrong and than do an intervention for it. I mean that's just mean, a lot like racism!!!!!
by glitzimani382 on 3/2/2013 1:35:39 PM
As I scrolled through the comments, it was so so so so so sad to see that 97% are for gay rights! :'(
by Ralinia on 2/28/2013 6:23:41 PM
Yes, god loves you just the same, but that does not mean he is happy with what you're doing or that u will be rewarded. What is this world coming to? :'( And no one is judging, we just don't agree with gays and bis 100%. And I'm not trying to be mean so please don't take it that way!!
by Ralinia on 2/28/2013 5:08:10 PM
That's like saying bisexual people are a sin! I'm bi and a lot of people judge but then get over it!
by Leopardbeat on 2/23/2013 10:36:26 PM
I think this is so stupid! being gay is not a sin
their brain washing the poor kids into thinking gay people are another species well their not! I honestly dont think god is going to hate you if you are gay lesbain bi whatever! he loves everyone the same your not going to get struck by thunder
by redvelvetluv on 2/23/2013 2:47:02 PM
I think the "intervention" part is just wrong. What you say to a counselor should STAY in that room unless they fear that your life might be on the line.
However, I do hear the word "gay" thrown around a lot. Like, "OMG, he's sooo gay". I think if they're gonna make a law about this, they should say that no kids are allowed to use the word gay in an insulting way. They can still say it but not as an insult.
Just a thought.
by XxTeddy_BearXx on 2/23/2013 9:42:37 AM
I would agree for maybe k-3 simply because of how young they are. they still believe cooties. after that this really doesn't apply. the students will hear about it at some point so why not have them properly educated about it?
by september25 on 2/22/2013 9:44:12 PM
school is supposed to be a place where children can be who they want to be. Denying people the right to be gay is taking away rights! We cannot be a perfect country! Being gay isnt wrong, its just people being who they want to be! Also what is to be interveined! It does not matter who you like or love! People are also supposed to love their children and excpet them for who they are. And what do they mean by authorities? It shouldnt be a crime to love, and what would the state be saying after years of telling us that being gay is okay if they made this law.
by hottie1250 on 2/22/2013 6:56:08 PM
What the heck?!?! The worst part of this to me is calling authorities to discuss "intervention." What needs to be intervened? Basically its like saying that you can't be anything but straight. And it won't confuse kids. Love is love, and anyone should be able to love anyone they want. I think that's important to teach kids, along with the fact that they can have their own opinion and mind about serious matters. I'm a 7th grader in TN and some of my best friends are lesbians and no one cares. Its your choice and if your uncomfortable with it then look away. Saying you like the same gender shouldn't be treated like admitting to using drugs or carrying a weapon.

Type 1 Diabetes
In this article
Type 1 diabetes happens when your immune system destroys cells in your pancreas called beta cells. They're the ones that make insulin.
Some people get a condition called secondary diabetes. It's similar to type 1, except the immune system doesn't destroy your beta cells. They're wiped out by something else, like a disease or an injury to your pancreas.

Allergy Tips for People With Diabetes
Aaachoooo! It's that time of year again: spring allergy season. For about 1 in 5 people, warm weather brings not only blooming flowers and trees but also the telltale symptoms of hay fever (seasonal allergies) -- sneezing, coughing, runny or stuffy nose, scratchy throat, and itchy eyes. For those with type 2 diabetes, spring allergies don't directly affect blood sugar, but there are things you need to watch out for, says Gerald Bernstein, MD, FACP. HE's the director of the Diabetes Management Program...
Read the Allergy Tips for People With Diabetes article > >
What Does Insulin Do?
Insulin is a hormone that helps move sugar, or glucose, into your body's tissues. Cells use it as fuel.
Damage to beta cells from type 1 diabetes throws the process off. Glucose doesn't move into your cells because insulin isn't there to do it. Instead it builds up in your blood and your cells starve. This causes high blood sugar, which can lead to:
- Dehydration. When there's extra sugar in your blood, you pee more. That's your body's way of getting rid of it. A large amount of water goes out with that urine, causing your body to dry out.
- Weight loss. The glucose that goes out when you pee takes calories with it. That's why many people with high blood sugar lose weight. Dehydration also plays a part.
- Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). If your body can't get enough glucose for fuel, it breaks down fat cells instead. This creates chemicals called ketones. Your liver releases the sugar it stores to help out. But your body can't use it without insulin, so it builds up in your blood, along with the acidic ketones. This combination of extra glucose, dehydration, and acid buildup is known as "ketoacidosis" and can be life-threatening if not treated right away.
- Damage to your body. Over time, high glucose levels in your blood can harm the nerves and small blood vessels in your eyes, kidneys, and heart. They can also make you more likely to get hardening of the arteries, or atherosclerosis, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
Who Gets Type 1 Diabetes?
It's rare. Only about 5% of people with diabetes have type 1. It's more common in whites than in African-Americans. It affects men and women equally. Although the disease usually starts in people under 20, it can happen at any age.

Watching them on the party political platform obstinately arguing against the introduction of fee-free and universal second cycled education, they cut a very pathetic figure. Most of them, including the President of the Republic, are beneficiaries of fee-free second cycle education.
For seven solid years, the poor cocoa farmer has to break his or her back to produce enough for this country to galvanize the resources to pay for the education of the President and a number of his leading ministers.
Having reached the very top in Ghanaian politics, buoyed by free second cycle education on the sacrifices of the farmer, fishermen and the poor worker on the factory floor, President John Dramani Mahama and his top aides are telling us that the children of the poor Ghanaian farmer and worker, whose sweat funded their free education in the past, do not deserve to be educated at the expense of the state. And they say they are social democrats.
The Constitution of Ghana is unequivocal about the essence of free education. Under Article 25 (1), "All persons shall have the right to equal educational opportunities and facilities, and with a view to achieving the realization of that right; (a) basic education shall be free, compulsory and available to all" (b) secondary education in its different forms, including technical and vocational education, shall be made generally available and accessible to all by every appropriate means, and in particular, by the progressive introduction of free education."
We do not believe we need legal luminaries to tell us that the tenets of this Articles is to ensure that the state progresses to a level where second cycle education could be offered to all, without discrimination and free of charge.
The Chronicle would like to submit that the state is obliged under Article 25 of the Constitution, to ensure that what obtains in one part of the country is available to all. At the moment, the state funds considerable aspects of second cycle education for the northern part of the country.
We would like to submit that it is a matter of right for children of the northern part of the country to benefit from second cycle education, paid for by the state. The missing link in the whole jigsaw is the failure of the fee-free policy to cover the rest of the country.
As it is, the programme is discriminatory and against the tenet of the Constitution. The Chronicle believes that extending the programme to all parts of the country is in fulfillment of the Constitutional requirements of the state.
Twenty years after the promulgation of the Constitution, we do not have time on hand to stand and stare, when our children drop out after basic school, because parents could not afford second cycle school fees.
The Chronicle has spotted many advertising billboards sponsored by the ruling NDC, pointing out that education is a right and not a promise. We agree a hundred percent with the party on this score. It is precisely for this reason that second cycle or the Senior High School ought to be free for the school child to access.
The Chronicle endorses free education. We are throwing a challenge to those who benefitted from fee-free education and are now at Government House as Head of State or Ministers to support the concept of a fee-free second cycle education.
We must all work to bring about fee-free second cycle education. We cannot continue to blow hot air over this constitutional requirement. The Chronicle is in full support of the fee-free Second Cycle Education. We intend to make it a major issue all the way to the vote on December 7.
