PARIS (AFP) – As Total reeled from the sudden death of its chief executive, the French oil giant faced the pressing question Tuesday of who would fill the void left by Christophe de Margerie, who did not designate a successor.
De Margerie – killed late Monday when his private jet struck a snowplough on takeoff in Moscow – had previously suggested his replacement would come from inside the oil giant, in company tradition.
"In Total culture, it will be someone from the group. I will do what is necessary so that, when the time comes, the board can choose and announce the name of my successor," the 63-year-old said in a May interview.
He had once said he was in favour of a "smooth transition" but had never designated a successor.
The French oil giant insisted Tuesday it was prepared to deal with events after De Margerie's death.
"The group is set up to ensure the proper continuity of its governance and its activities, to deal with this tragic event," Total secretary general Jean-Jacques Guilbaud told reporters at the group's Paris headquarters.
De Margerie was himself handpicked by predecessor Thierry Desmarest in 2006 to take over as chief executive a year later. In 2010 he was also appointed chairman of the company he had worked for 40 years.
Shortly after his sudden death, Total announced its board of directors would meet "as soon as possible".
Two names regularly crop up when succession is mentioned at Total, the biggest company in France by revenue, or second-biggest by stock market value.
They are Patrick Pouyanne, head of refining and chemicals, and Philippe Boisseau, head of marketing and services and new energies.
Both men have held various positions in French government ministries, and were tipped as possible successors when appointed to the executive committee in 2012.
"I am not concerned, there are people lower down who are competent even if they don't have (De Margerie's) charm," said Francois Pelegrina of the CFDT trade union.
"For now, Mr Desmarest, who is still there, can take care of things with no problem. After that we need a response quickly," as to who will take over.
Margerie's contract had been renewed for three years in 2012 and he could have sought another mandate in 2015 after age limits in the position of chairman were this year increased from 65 to 70 and for chief executive from 65 to 67.
"The succession battle needs to not cause any problems and must be handled responsibly and calmly," said Eric Sellini, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets.
Total announced in September it planned to reduce costs and investments by 2017 as part of a revised strategy that would allow it to offset weaker growth than expected in its production.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Accept A Colleague's Criticism
Criticism is a type of judgment. It comes in many forms, and it may be delivered for a variety of reasons. For example, a husband may criticize his wife's cooking by suggesting she use less salt, or a literary agent may criticize a writer's work by revising the manuscript in red ink. An adult may regularly face criticism from colleagues, in which case it is helpful to know how to handle such occurrences in a mature and productive way. Follow these guidelines for how to accept a colleague's criticism.
1Take some time to process the criticism. It is natural to have an emotional reaction to judgment, even if that judgment comes in the form of constructive criticism. Therefore, in order to accept criticism and handle it effectively, you should give yourself some time to reflect before you react. When you separate yourself emotionally from criticism from colleagues, you are less likely to take it personally and more able to perceive it as a chance for growth.
2Consider the context of the criticism. It is important that you listen for the speaker's intended message so as to avoid jumping to inaccurate conclusions. Accepting criticism requires that you fully understand the meaning and purpose behind the criticism. Ask the speaker to clarify, if necessary.
3Acknowledge that you have received the criticism. Regardless of whether or not you agree with the criticism, letting the speaker know that you received the message lays the groundwork for resolving and, ultimately, accepting criticism. It removes the power from the speaker and makes you accountable for handling the criticism in your own way.
4Avoid becoming defensive. Defensiveness will only cloud your judgment, making it more difficult for you to identify the defining characteristics of your colleague's criticism.
5Determine the nature of the criticism. Criticism may be either constructive or destructive, and each type of criticism warrants a different type of response.
- Constructive criticism is meant as feedback to help you improve on a circumstance. For example, if a colleague suggests that you try a different, more time-efficient method for completing reports, then that colleague is being helpful and constructive. In the case of constructive criticism, you must address the content of the criticism in order to determine how to resolve or accept it.
- Destructive criticism is intended to demean, or manipulate emotions. Criticism from colleagues is destructive when it is presented in a disrespectful manner, and when it lacks substance in regards to how you may improve. Disregard destructive criticism. Accept that it comes from a place that is not helpful, and that engaging it any further will only be detrimental to you.
6Resolve the criticism. Any time you receive constructive criticism, it is important that you handle it in a way that leads to closure (acceptance), rather than a way that will propagate a cycle of negative, reactionary criticism.
- If you determine that there is no truth to the criticism, then you may use distraction to resolve the issue and move on. Distraction involves responding with an open-ended reply that does not allow for further commentary from your critical colleague. A good example of distraction is, "I understand what you are saying."
- Truthful criticism provides a perspective that prompts you to grow. Accepting criticism that is based on truth involves acknowledging your recognition of the truth, then applying that truth to your thinking, feeling and/or behavior.
- When you are unsure of the relevance of a colleague's criticism, the only way to resolve it is to seek further understanding. Ask your colleague to clarify the critical remark before determining the nature of the criticism and how you should resolve it.

Our customer reviews for Novotel Coffs Harbour Pacific Bay Resort
Reviews collected from customers who booked on AccorHotels.com
The room was clean but incredibly dated, mattresses were lumpy and the furniture was old. The buildings and boardwalk need maintenance and the ponds around the resort needed cleaning out. The pools were nice and it was only a short walk to the beach. We didn't eat at the restaurant as there didn't appear to be much variety and the prices were quiet high. Also this resort does not participate in the Accor loyalty program and for some reason when I checked in they charged me for one nights stay and when I checked out the charged me for the second night (I thought this was quiet bizzare). There was also limited car parking as half the spots were roped off, for what appeared to be private residents (which I thought was odd for a Novotel) and some had been converted to private garaging/storage.
The positives were the location and the grounds. These were all very pleasant. However, we had booked two resort rooms and were very disappointed given the price. The decor is dated and from the reasonably spacious verandah, the views were limited to the tops of trees. It all felt quite closed in and dark. Moreover, the shower was the worst hotel shower I have experienced in years. Furthermore, we were travelling as a family and yet the rooms were far apart (although on the same floor). When I rang reception about this they (a) failed to return my first phone call (b) I'm pretty confident made no genuine attempt to see if they could re-organise the rooms (and yes, I understand this was a busy time of year). This was the third Accor property we had stayed at in a week and compared unfavourably in every way. Given our experience and given that the Novotel at Coffs Harbour does not participate in the Accor loyalty scheme, I would not be going back and would recommend that you have a look around and find something that's better value for money.
Stayed on the 5th floor with nice outlook and room is reasonably spacious but showing its agents now. The shower was very disappointing, hot water dribbling out so if you turned on the cold water you ended with a cold shower. Not good enough when you're paying 250 per night. Also skip the breakfast it's embarrassingly bad no taste scrambled eggs made from powdered eggs.

Great! Review by Allen B.
This strainer lets the whey drain from the yogurt. The amount of drainage time depends on how thick or thin you like your yogurt. You use this device instead of cheese cloth. I let mine drain for twelve hours in the fridge. You can use the whey for other things but I don't know what. Unless you save it for "Little Miss Muffet" who eats her curds and whey while sitting on a tuffit.(Whatever a tuffit is). (Posted on 9/30/15)

Simple, easy to use Review by Trescher
This yogurt strainer is simple and easy to use. it saves the whey, which I use for other purposes. The only drawback is that you must be very careful when cleaning the strainer or you could damage it. (Posted on 2/8/15)

Hot chile on a cold day usually hits the spot, unless the chile lacks heat.
On a recent trip to Española, a visit to Los Arcos was in order. The main motivation for the trip was to order chicken fried steak. A generous portion, it was offered with either white or brown gravy, a side of calabacitas and choice of potatoes (mashed, baked or in the French fry form).
A few months had lapsed since the last visit to Los Arcos and all it took was a quick glance at the menu and I soon realized I wasn't going to get what I wanted that day.
The chicken fried steak is still on the menu, but instead of brown gravy, it's now offered with white pepper gravy. When I asked the waitress if brown could be substituted, she said no.

On New Year's Eve, along with the standard resolutions to run iron man races and dislike butter and sugar, many of us renewed our commitments to sucking the marrow out of life, to being happier despite our imperfect, troublesome, sometimes very painful existences.
Poppy Cross, the peppy protagonist of "Happy-Go-Lucky" offers one model on how to do this.

Welcome to 2012, how are things going so far?
Are you working on building those assets yet? Don't worry if you haven't started yet. You can always start today.
I'm going to harp on you getting started, just like the weight-watching commercials or the quit-smoking commercials. But since I don't have that kind of budget, whenever you see or hear one of those commercials, pretend you are hearing me talk about asset building.
This month we continue to work on the asset category of positive identity, so let's talk about thank you cards.

This comes from ESPN Brazil. For those of you Portuguese speakers, Barbosa says "Não vou mentir para vocês, tentei sair daqui várias vezes, mas o Danny Ainge (gerente geral da franquia) não quer deixar eu ir embora.

Canucks' Kesler out up to 6 weeks
Associated Press | Last updated February 27, 2013
Ryan Kesler lasted only seven games before being forced out of the Vancouver Canucks' lineup again. The Canucks said Wednesday that Kesler will be out for up to six weeks because of a broken right foot. The fracture was revealed on a CT scan. It is unclear when the injury occurred, but coach Alain Vigneault said Kesler might have been playing with it before it was diagnosed. Kesler played over 19 minutes against Phoenix on Tuesday and earned an assist. Kesler didn't practice on Wednesday and was seen wearing an air cast. He returned to action two weeks ago after taking longer to recover from offseason shoulder surgery. He had a goal and four assists in seven games before being injured again. Kesler has 154 goals and 188 assists in 568 NHL career games, all with the Canucks.

Tansi (Welcome)
On behalf of the NVIT Board of Governors, and all of our faculty, support staff and administrators, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology - British Columbia's Aboriginal Public Post-Secondary Institute.
There are many things that make NVIT one of the most unique post-secondary institutions in the country. Whether it is the NVIT Elders' Council, our Aboriginal mandate, the large percentage of Aboriginal students, the highly qualified faculty, or our extremely helpful support staff, NVIT offers learners a post-secondary experience that will provide them with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen education or career path.
Representing approximately 60% of BC's First Nation's communities, NVIT continues to welcome a record number of students to NVIT. Now serving over 1400 learners, we continue to experience growth in both programming and student population. As we enter into the 2016/17 Academic year, NVIT is embarking on another year of exciting initiatives. This includes our summer institute on Aboriginal Leadership and Governance, offering a Master's Program jointly with UBC at our Merritt campus, and co-hosting conferences on the Aboriginal experience in the Cross Cultural workplace, as well as the post-secondary response to the recommendations from the Truth & Reconciliation commission.
NVIT strives to offer programming that meets the needs of Aboriginal students and communities. We are excited to have recently opened our new trades building at NVIT. Learners are now able to access first year trades programs in electrical, plumbing, carpentry, and craft worker. We have also been fortunate to acquire a second mobile trade's trailer that allows us to bring our Bridging to Trades program into Aboriginal communities across BC. Contact us today to get your community on the list!
I recently heard a story of a parent of one of our students. She was talking to other high school parents and was mentioning that she had a daughter that was living in the NVIT student residences and taking classes at our Merritt campus. The message she was communicating to these parents was that if you want to send your child to a post-secondary institution that cares about their students, NVIT is the place. Hearing a story like that reinforces NVIT's commitment to being student centered. At NVIT we take great pride in creating a learning community where students are comfortable and can thrive and succeed.
Start at NVIT and go anywhere is what we tell our students. All of NVIT's programs are transferable and accredited with colleges and universities in British Columbia and across Canada. Embarking on your educational journey at NVIT will save you a significant amount of money, and like many students, you may find out you just don't want to leave!
NVIT's mandate is to serve Aboriginal students and communities. Whether you choose to join us at our Merritt or Vancouver campuses, or pursue your education through NVIT in your home community, we are committed to providing you with the best instruction in a learner-centred environment dedicated to student success.
Please feel free to contact us for a guided tour of one of our campuses, or contact an academic planner to help you get started at BC's Aboriginal Public Post-Secondary Institute. For more news, information, and updates on NVIT, I invite you to visit our website at www.nvit.ca and follow us on twitter @NVIT83.
I look forward to welcoming you to the NVIT family and seeing you on campus!

text: Gallipoli Sniper by John Hamilton English | 30 Apr. 2015 | ISBN: 1848329040 | 288 Pages | EPUB (True) | 9.94 MB Billy Sing was a small, dark man and a deadly killer. When, as a member of the Australian Imperial Force 5th Light Horse, he was thrust onto the narrow strip of land held by the Australians on Gallipoli, he witnessed the terrible effects of the Turkish snipers and decided to fight fire with fire. Using a simple Lee Enfield .303 rifle, Sing began to pick off unwary Turks who exposed themselves. Assisted by a spotter who would single out targets for him, Sing acquired an unrivalled reputation as he killed increasing numbers of enemy soldiers. He became known as the Anzac Angel of Death and the Assassin of Gallipoli and was considered to be the most successful sniper and most feared man in Gallipoli. The Turks, aware of his reputation decided to target the Sing with their own marksman. In a deadly duel, Sing fired first and killed Abdul the Terrible . This a vivid account of the merciless nature of the fighting in the Gallipoli Campaign from an award-winning journalist and best-selling author.

The Flirt
I watched him walk towards me. I felt eased. I wished I could like him. He was cute in a Pablo Picasso kind of way. He could have been a cubist painting. This eyes were to big for his face and kind of buggy. This lip too small and his nose was perfect. It just wasn't symeterical.
I watched him walk. The way a dream man should walk confident, powerful. It appeased the dreamer in me. He gave me a cocky smile. I gave him a shy one back.
" You don't like parties?" He asked
" How can you tell?" I asked.
" Don,t think I'm crazy but I've sort of been watching you all night. You sort of seemed to float on the outside looking for away inside"
I said nothing. I had no denial. No witty come back.
" Sorry, that was too personal. Sometimes I can be way to perceptive." He gave me a nervous grin.
" It's okay. I could have taken it better" I said.
He pushed his hair back nervously. It didn't fit with what I had seen early. I saw him swagger. Shy people don,t swagger. They don't know how.
" Did you come here alone?" He asked
" You know I did"
It wasn't fair for me to flirt like this. We could never be more than friends. But I didn't care. Cruelty was making me cruel. It was no excuse but I ran with it. I need some sort of comfort. I denied myelf for so long.
" I guess I did. I guess my question really is, are you single?" He asked
" Pathatically single" I sighed
" Your too beautiful, too kind to ever be single. You must be hard to get. I'll have to work to get you. But I think it would be worth it." He said
I flashed a girly smile I'd seen Lily give once. His words were too sweet,too kind. I wondered what he wanted. I told the cynic in me to let it go.
I faned my flushed cheeks and said " Flattery will get you everywhere"

That's what it's all about. I put a lot of work into my garden, but will
never let the garden become "work". I stop and marvel at new growth and
waste time dragging twine through the grass for Mick to pounce. Sometimes
things don't get done, but enough always does. I love the chance to sit
back in the Adirondack chair with a cat on my lap.

UPDATE 3-Exxon's output rises but refining weakness hits profit
* EPS $1.79 v Street view $1.77
* Output up 1.5 percent, first gain since 2011 2nd qtr
* Shares rise 1 percent
By Anna Driver
Oct 31 (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp, the world's largest publicly traded oil company, reported higher-than-expected quarterly results on Thursday as output rose for the first time in more than two years, but refining weakness hurt earnings.
Exxon and other large oil companies struggling to boost production in recent years have spent heavily on new projects. In the first nine months of this year, Exxon alone spent $33 billion.
"This is their first year-over-year (production) increase in more than two years," said Brian Youngberg, an energy company analyst at Edward Jones in St. Louis. "It does show that they are hopefully making some progress stemming the decline that they've shown the last couple of years."
Exxon last reported a quarterly gain in production in the second quarter of 2011.
Third-quarter oil and natural gas output rose 1.5 percent from a year earlier to 4 million barrels oil equivalent per day, helped by the start-up of new projects, the Irving, Texas, company said. Continued...

Seeker: View from the Windowsill
I swear as I sat outside the girl's "Safe House" I was finding it hard not to crow with delight. If, that was, magpies could crow. I watched, doing innocent little birdy impressions as the two talked to to one another. It was clear they were exceedingly awkward with each other. I could hear some of the conversation and believe you me I was finding it very hard not to burst out into fits of hysterics.
Oh boy, Leechy is NEVER going to live this down while I'm here! I wanted dirt, and I got a mountain of it.
This is going to be good.
Neither of the cute couple noticed me sitting outside listening in. I hadn't been alive this long not to know how to act. It was practically second nature now. Now all I had to do was listen and wait.
Then tease Fang Face to death. Literally.
Looks like I didn't need a sharpened stake or garlic cloves to make this guy's existance a misery.

Electricity shortage, low copper prices hit Zambian mines
* Zambia is Africa's No. 2 copper producer
* Power crisis, weak copper prices threaten output
* Glencore, other miners halting some production
* Govt steps up power imports to ease situation
By Chris Mfula
LUSAKA, Sept 8 (Reuters) - An electricity shortage and weaker copper prices have put pressure on Zambia's mining industry, threatening output, jobs and economic growth in Africa's No. 2 producer of the metal.
The power problems and copper price slide have driven the kwacha currency to record lows amid a selloff in commodity-linked currencies as key consumer China's economy has slowed, renewing pressure on Zambia to diversify its economy.
Glencore, Vedanta Resources Plc and China's NFC Africa and CNMC Luanshya Copper Mine have said they will shut down some operations due to the harsh business environment.
"This is serious, it could bring our economy to its knees," independent analyst Maambo Hamaundu said. Continued...

THE SEAMEO VOCTECH Regional Centre kicked off a two-week training programme on incorporating ICT tools to enhance teaching and learning yesterday.
The regional training programme on "ICT Tools to enhance 21st Century Teaching and Learning" involves the participation of various members from SEAMEO countries, and was officially launched with an opening ceremony, before proceeding into its first session.
On hand to deliver welcoming remarks at the opening ceremony was Haji Md Sharifuddin bin Haji Md Salleh, the Centre Director for SEAMEO VOCTECH.
"Students in today's age are more technology literate than the educators themselves," he said.
"With the current age of rapid change and uncertainty coupled by the rapid explosion of information through the Internet medium, there is one thing we can be certain of – educators will need to embrace and adapt to technologies that their students are already proficient in their daily lives to stay relevant and engaging in their teaching and lesson deliveries."
"The technology, together with a well-thought through pedagogy, encourages students to act and think like scientists," he continued.
"It is an important aspect of student-centric education which brings a new level of differentiated teaching and personalised learning."
He asserted, however, that while technology is the tool, the teacher must be the master.
This two-week regional training programme has been designed to expose participants with essential technologies, old and new, particularly the smart devices available today, with the aim of having them innovatively to support teaching and enhance the learning experience of students through effective use of media.
As the Director highlighted, the centre has taken the initiative to develop and deliver this regional training programme with the objectives of identifying 21st century skills requirements as well as useful and appropriate tools and technology needed in teaching and learning.
It also carries the aims of utilising relevant software to incorporate rich media content comprising text, graphics, audio and video in teaching and learning. This includes the use of online systems as a technology and tool to facilitate learning.
"By the end of this two-week training programme, I hope that participants will gain as much knowledge, skills and attitude as possible," he said.
"Among the expected outputs that participants should have accomplished are that participants would be able to capture, convert and produce relevant teaching and learning contents for use as a teaching resource through the appropriate technology, tools and software; as well as to upload the developed learning contents for online access using learning systems."
The programme also involves a sharing session, in which participants can discuss and share country reports on the educational structures of their respective countries.
"I wish everyone every success in the training and hope that the outcome of this forum will initiate the development of the use of ICT tools in teaching and learning," he concluded.
"I believe that this two-week course will benefit every individual and the region as a whole."

There's not much in the way of details yet, except that it's an online game, is very pretty, and is due for release next year.
UPDATE: Square Enix has opened the official website for Final Fantasy XIV. The game is the mysterious "next-gen MMORPG" which was first mentioned by producer Hiromichi Tanaka three years ago. It is developed by Tanaka's team, i.e. the creative minds behind Final Fantasy XI.

Falling to Pieces (Part 2)
[Author's Note: We switch now to Lynn's perspective as Jason continues his reaction to chapters 72 and 73, An Invitation to Dine (Part 1 and Part 2), of Phoenix Triumphant.]
Lynn slowly refocused her eyes and looked at Jason. "No storms on the horizon for another day or two." She sighed, as her mind again went back into the sky, courting the weather patterns. "I could have used some help for this mission."
"And the other experienced Weather Mages," she heard Phoenix reply, "were out to sea or had even less training in fighting than you."
Lynn's mind returned to the tent, satisfied she'd read the weather right. Her second cousin's face was etched with lines of worry and she felt ashamed she had complained. "Sarah is on your mind, isn't she?" her voice softened. He, out of all of them, suffered the most.
"She is always on his mind," Lynn looked up to see Mathew duck into the tent, "even when he was courting you."
"Let it go Mathew," Sergeant Phoenix sighed. "If Lynn has accepted it, you ought to be able to too."
"Well if you hadn't courted her then she wouldn't have gone to sea and..."
"I would have still gone to sea," Lynn spoke with more force than she meant to. "The Gods called for me to be a Weather Mage," she rose to look into Scout Mathew's eyes. "And even if it were you who had courted me I still would have gone."
That statement clearly hurt him and Lynn was sorry she said it, but she wouldn't take it back.
"So you say now..." Mathew began his voice hard.
"Enough," Phoenix commanded harshly.
Lynn too, returned to her seat before the fire trying to glean from it a warmth that it could not give.
"Let us not focus on our personal lives, but upon the tasks at hand." Sergeant Phoenix once more seemed the understanding second cousin she'd grown up with. "The siege will be set up at dawn and James will, hopefully, lead a small group back into the Fortress to rescue Princess Allmarah and Lady Miriam."
"What of Sarah?" Lynn asked in concern.
"She dines with General Wholawski, so he can show her the power in which she might share" his voice was no more than a whisper.
Sinking to the floor, Phoenix buried his head in his hands and let go his facade of strength. Lynn looked from her cousin to Mathew, but he was looking at his former Sergeant.
"She wouldn't go for that would she?" Mathew whispered, the color gone from his face.
"No," Phoenix responded, "but I fear for her safety."

The new development will foster economic integration and ease communication among the region's 146 million people.
East Africans making telephone calls to Tanzania and Burundi will enjoy cheaper charges as the two countries prepare to adopt the region's standardized roaming charges.
The implementation of the framework for the East African Community's standardized roaming charges will see Burundi and Tanzania join the Northern Corridor Integration Project that involved Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda who have already implemented harmonized voice and SMS charges.
Currently, calls to Uganda and Rwanda networks cost a flat rate of Sh10 per minute while a call to Burundi will attract Sh30 and Sh25 to Tanzania.
Sending an SMS in the northern Corridor costs Sh7 whereas sending an SMS to Burundi and Tanzania cost Sh10 and Sh12 respectively.
The new development will foster economic integration and ease communication among the region's 146 million people.
According to the director of licensing, compliance and standards at the Communications Authority of Kenya, Mr Richard Tonui, "the implementation of harmonized EAC will reduce roaming charges for EAC citizens, increase traffic volumes for operators and ultimately foster the integration process."
While the roaming charges will reduce, calls to satellite networks (per minute), however, remain uniform at Sh500 to Rwanda, Uganda or Tanzania whereas a call to Burundi costs Sh1,780.
A deal reached in Arusha Tuesday during the 17th EAC Heads of State Summit, is expected to give the region a one area network that will allow the region flat cross-border call charges.

Letter: Murphy working across party lines to address lagoon problems
Bob Burdge, Fort Pierce
Letter: Murphy working across party lines to address lagoon problems
Robert Williams (July 20th letter) says that electing a Republican to replace congressman Patrick Murphy would be the best for the Indian River Lagoon. His reasoning is just because Murphy is a Democrat.
Williams says that a Republican member would have more "pull" than Murphy. This is just wrong.
It should be the good ideas to clean up the lagoon and not the political party of the member of Congress.
Murphy is working hard with Republicans and Democrats to get help for the Indian River.
Don't make a mistake and think it is a political party that can make a difference. It is the person working on the problem who makes a difference. Murphy is working on the problem.
