25 Traits To Be Influential – Engage With Small Talk
How To Become Influential – Full Video Here, Have you ever wondered what makes some people so influential? It doesn't matter what they do for a living or what their education was, but they have influence. There are 25 traits you can master if you want to become influential too.
Do YOU want to be more influential, get more people to follow you, get people to recognize how valuable you are? Watch this short video by Charlie Seymour Jr from his Power Marketing Lessons series.
THIS video is just one of the 25 Traits you need to master. To find all of them, go to Full Video Here – All 25 Traits
3. Engage with small talk. You know what I mean when I say small talk. It's being able to relate to someone individually, something like, "How was it this weekend when you and your family went down to the shore? Did you have a good time?" Be interested. That's the key. Be interested in that other person.
If all you're trying to do is get your point across to someone else, if all you're doing is waiting to speak then you're not listening. My grandson always says he's got to put his "listening ears" on. You need to put your listening ears on too. We need to be able to engage with small talk so people know that we care about them. That raises you up in their impression of you and you become more influential.

He helps you online in three ways: 1) Get Found, 2) Engage through video marketing, and 3) Build a Profitable, Automated System for your follow up. How can he help you?
Little did he know at age 6, while sitting on the stage in his first main stage production, that he'd use these skills in business to help you profit through online marketing. Charlie's influence is based on many of the 25 traits found in this video.
Connect With Charlie Charlie The Marketer is the video-crazed MBA marketer, Charlie Seymour Jr
Who is Charlie Seymour Jr?
First, he's a husband, dad, and granddad. He's a guy who knows in his heart how powerful video is (he's often called the Video-Crazed MBA Marketer). Not long after losing his father, he started a website, LessonsFromMyGrandson.com, so that his grandson would never grow up not knowing who he was. When people run from a burning apartment or flooded home, they grab their photo albums to keep their memories alive, and that's probably because their videos are now protected online.
Charlie is one of FIVE generations in his family to direct at the same local theater and his passion outside of helping clients succeed has been directing rip your heart out big musicals like Sweeney Todd, Evita, Cabaret, West Side Story, A Chorus Line, Hunchback of Notre Dame (which he wrote with Neil Radisch), and more.
He's also an Award-Winning Video Producer and Still Photographer; Theater Director, Producer, Actor, Coach; Award-Winning Salesman; #1 Best-Selling Author; Long-time Glazer-Kennedy Student and Marketer; Speaker, Storyteller, Featured Guest in Webinars and Meetups; and, oh yes: he has an MBA from Wharton.
But let's say he brings more than creativity and his shiny-headed good looks to the table. He generated $247,368,657.97 in personal sales and more than $1 billion through his marketing leadership skills. Be sure to ask him about this. And ask him about his #1 best-selling Amazon.com book, written with Dr. Marc Kossmann: Hey, You… Don't Stand Out – GET Out!
And even at an early age, Charlie created stories for people that others wanted to watch. He received his first camera (Brownie: remember them?) at age four and went on to become a professional photographer. He began his video career at age 11 at the side of Robert J. Kerr, the Dupont scientist (and community-theater director) who was a leading specialist in the creation of video tape at a time when a "home machine" weighed 37 pounds and you had to wind the tape from reel to reel. He started directing 3-camera video recordings at age 11 and now regularly has up to five cameras running at the same time, to get you from all angles and keep the viewer interested. Video is entertainment plus great information: THAT'S how to get people to watch!
At the heart of all of this Charlie has always known he's a marketer and storyteller: whether it was helping professionals explode their success in their businesses, getting theater productions produced at several theaters, selling major real estate along the East Coast of the United States, or running his own online businesses. And hand-in-hand with his business skills is his love for people, helping them succeed while focusing attention on them when they do.
Charlie recently studied the buying habits of Baby Boomers and uses one phrase to describe many of his generation: "We've gone from Success To Significance in what drives us. We have the things and now want to be sure to leave our mark ON the world (and on at least one other person IN this world)." He embodies that.
Charlie is the father of two beautiful, talented, and grown daughters (Stacie and Liz), a son-in-law (Chris), and 2 grandchildren (Beckett and Isabel) who enrich his life in everything they do. He lives outside of Philadelphia with his wife, Pam, a cat, a dog, 7 computers, and 8 cameras!

Did speedy Usain Bolt spark evacuation at JFK Airport in New York?
HUNDREDS were evacuated from New York's International Airport after clapping for Usain Bolt's insane 100m sprint was mistaken for gunshots, it has been claimed.
Busy terminal eight was the scene of mass panic as officers forced passengers to leave the area over fears of an active shooter.
But it now seems that the sound of gunshots was actually mistaken for excited fans clapping and cheering on the Jamaican sprinter as they watched him cross the line in Rio on the terminal TV screens.
After searching the area, NYPD's Special Ops team tweeted: "All terminals searched & cleared.
"Negative results. All affected terminals will resume operations shortly.
"No shots were fired."
Authorities said the panic occurred at "around 9.30pm" (US time).
"No shots were fired"NYPD
This was at the same time that Usain Bolt won his 100m race and took home his third gold medal.
One law enforcement official suggested to NBC News that the "cheering, clapping and banging" was coming from people watching the fastest man in the world retaining his title.
Passengers at the airport took to Twitter to complain that the sports super-star sparked the evacuation and made them late.
#JFK rumor: one person told authorities they heard gunshots, which were likely to be people celebrating Usain Bolt's latest gold. Lol.— Dahill Road (@Dahill_Road) August 15, 2016
One wrote: "I've been stranded in JFK for 6 hours due to this. Thanks Usain." [sic]
Another wrote: "One person told authorities they heard gunshots, which were likely to be people celebrating Usain Bolt's latest gold. Lol." [sic]
A statement from the Port Authority confirmed there were no gunshots.
It read: "At this time, no gun shells or other evidence of shots fired has been found. The terminal was evacuated out of an abundance of caution."
Bolt is the current record-holder with 9.58 seconds.
He crossed the line last night in a comfortable 9.81 seconds, a season best, but the slowest time out of any of his Olympic 100m final victories.
Last week it was revealed that Bolt may not have been at Rio if he had fulfilled his dream of being a father.

AAM's Laura Ziff is Named an AZ Business Leader
AZ Big Media, an Arizona based business and lifestyle news source, featured Associated Asset Management's (AAM's) Co-CEO Laura Ziff as one of their AZ Business Leaders in the 2016 Residential Real Estate category.
The AZ Business Leaders is a major annual publication that profiles Arizona's most respected and influential leaders. The publication recognizes and acknowledges the top leaders in various industries throughout Arizona and highlights their valuable knowledge and leadership advice.
Prior to founding AAM in 1990, Laura Ziff gained significant experience in real estate, development and property management while working with leading financial institutions in Phoenix.
When starting AAM, Ziff's goal was to "raise the bar" in providing community association management with an emphasis on integrity and superior customer service.

Boston University School of Social Work
The Boston University School of Social Work (BUSSW), located in Boston, Massachusetts, USA is one of the 16 graduate schools of Boston University.[1]
Areas of study[edit]
BU SSW offers full and part-time programs leading to the Master of Social Work degree, with concentrations in Clinical and Macro Social Work Practice. Advanced Standing programs are also available.[2]
The full-time study program includes two years of full-time study in residence. There are several part-time study programmes. Typically part-time students fulfill the degree requirements in either three or four years. Part-time students can attend the Charles River campus, or attend one of the two off-campus programmes. The off-campus, part-time program in Northeastern Massachusetts is located in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts. The off-campus, part-time program in Southeastern Massachusetts, is located in Fall River, Massachusetts and on Cape Cod. The Macro Social Work concentration is only available at the Charles River campus. The off-campus sites and the Charles River campus offer the Clinical Social Work program of study.
The School's curriculum emphasizes a broad approach to social and personal problems and the differential use of social work methods. During the first year of graduate study, the student is introduced to social work knowledge, values, and practice areas through a series of foundation courses.
Subsequently, students take advanced coursework to develop and deepen their competence according to their special interests and talents, and specialize in a method of social work: Clinical Social Work Practice (with individuals, families, and groups), or Macro Social Work Practice (community organization, management, and planning). In the last semester, students are required to take a social work practice ethics course.
Dual degree programs[edit]
BU SSW offers several Dual Degree programs in cooperation with other BU graduate schools and an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Sociology and Social Work.
The School of Theology, the School of Education, and the School of Public Health have dual-degree programs with the School of Social Work.
The dual degree programs are as follows,
- a 3½ year course of study leading to both the Master of Social Work (MSW) and Master of Theological Studies,
- a 4½ year course of study leading to both the MSW and Master of Divinity (MDiv),
- a course of study that leads to both the MSW and the Doctor of Ministry (DMin),
- a course of study that lead to both the MSW and Master of Education (MEd) or Doctorate in Education (EdD), and
- a 3-year course of study leading to both the Master of Social Work (MSW) and Master of Public Health (MPH).
The School had its beginnings in the School of Education and was later called the School of Religious and Social Work.
In 1937 the Division of Social Work inaugurated a two-year graduate program. In 1939 it was accredited provisionally as a school of social work, and in 1940 became a separate entity as the School of Social Work. Since 1942 it has offered only the graduate program, and since 1943 it has had full accreditation as a school of social work.
The southeastern Massachusetts (SEMA) and northeastern Massachusetts (NEMA) off-campus programs were established in 1982 and 1985, respectively. An additional SEMA site on Cape Cod (Barnstable, Massachusetts) was established in 2002. These programs provide students who live a distance from Boston the opportunity to pursue a Master of Social Work degree in a part-time, weekend format.
The MSW degree program at the Boston University School of Social Work, the school's distance learning programs[3] and its satellite programs in Northeastern and Southeastern Massachusetts are fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education.

Entering the 2008 season, do we really know these two teams like we have in the past? Denver is young and made a lot of changes on both sides of the ball, but they like what they have seen in the preseason and have a gifted young QB in Jay Cutler. Oakland has some outstanding individual players -- but can they gel as a unit? Is QB JaMarcus Russell ready to lead this team? Can the Raider defense bounce back after a bad 2007? There are a lot of questions to be answered by both teams.
When Denver has the ball
There is no mystery to Denver's offensive philosophy. The Broncos will run to set up the pass with Cutler and they run their zone blocking schemes to perfection with quick, athletic lineman. They face an Oakland run defense that underachieved and ranked next to last in 2007. The Raiders will bring their safeties and linebackers closer to the line of scrimmage in run support and put their corners on an island in pass coverage without a lot of safety help over the top. With a good early run game, Cutler will have good matchups in the passing game outside, but without his best receiver, Brandon Marshall (suspension), the ability to go deep will be problematic. Look for Cutler to utilize play-action and his ability to roll-out and bootleg could lead to some nice gains and put a lot of pressure on the Oakland defensive perimeter. Also, look for the Raiders to possibly blitz Cutler more than they have in the past.

Praise for "The Kingdom of Strange"
"As much a creative writing manual as it is a tween novel, this debut takes Thisbe, a 14-year-old Vancouverite, a step or two nearer maturity as she works on a school assignment designed to help her think as a writer about Audience… Young would-be authors will identify with Thisbe's steady determination to be a writer and benefit from her exercises." Booklist
"Painting a thoughtful portrait of an aspiring young novelist, the book teaches readers to treasure their imagination, to steadfastly climb out of the pits of self-doubt and to never disregard the simple pleasures of life." Jewish Independent (British Columbia).
"The Kingdom of Strange is smart, thought provoking fiction filled with wit and charm! I couldn't put it down! Read my complete review here." Chapters reviewer

{Craft} Homemade For The Holidays | Sequin Frames & Ornaments And A Sparkly Treasure Box #Elmer's Holiday #GlueNGlitter Giveaway
December 15, 2011 in All Posts, Celebrate, DIY, Giveaways, Sponsored Posts
Well, we're continuing on our homemade kick this holiday season with a Sequin Picture Frame, some Sequin Ornaments,and a Sparkly Treasure Box!
Sequin Picture Frame
You know I love glitter and sequins are just glitter amplified, so I LOVE sequins! This gift was so simple to make and my favorite because of the bright colors.
I used Elmer's CraftBond Acid-Free Spray Adhesive (I'm obsessed) to get a sticky layer of glue down on the $1 wooden frame I had from Michael's and then just sprinkled sequins all over.
Sequin Ornaments
For the ornaments, I followed the same steps I did here, but used sequins instead of glitter.
Sparkly Treasure Box
This project I loved making because it's a gift for Jane. She's always trying to keep Sam out of her things, so I thought she'd really appreciate a sparkly little treasure box of her own to keep her most precious items.
I started with a $1 wooden box from Michael's and traced the shape of the lid with my X-ACTO Designer Series Gripster knife to cut out a piece of patterned cardstock. I attached the cut cardstock to the box lid with Elmer's CraftBond Permanent Scrapbooking Tape.
Then, I cut out a circle from another piece of cardstock with the X-ACTO knife and attached it with Elmer's CraftBond Foam Mounting Tape to get a 3-D effect going.
Finally, I used a pair of scallop-edged X-ACTO Decorative Edge scissors to cut out a "J" and attached it with the Foam Mounting Tape.
For the sides, I used sticky-back glitter confetti foam that I cut with the X-ACTO knife.
I don't know why I didn't just cut one long piece so there would only be one seam, but for some reason I got it into my head that I needed to cut out a separate piece for each side of the star shape. Silly. Don't copy me here!
You can see my shop for supplies here, but here are some of the cool Elmer's items I found at Walmart:
You could win the entire Elmer's and X-ACTO Memory Keeping Wall at Walmart (a $250 value)! How awesome would that be?!
Personally, I have my eye on these:
and of course, more Spray Adhesive!

Happy Holidays!

If a foreclosure action is found to be legally questionable, it can not only put a end to foreclosure but it can also potentially void your mortgage. Sometimes, an appraiser may conspire with the lender and fraudulently inflate the value of an assessed property to help the lender justify a predatory loan. Or a broker inflates the loan application numbers unbeknownst to the homeowner, qualifying them for a loan they wouldn't have received otherwise. The scores of possible injuries are numerous.
If you suspect that some sort of fraud or misconduct occurred, you may be entitled to various damages and attorney fees. At Mortgage Fraud Examiners, our examinations can determine if there was a breach of contract, errors that possibly void the contract, fraudulent conduct, and/or statutory/regulatory violations. If we are able to locate these abuses, all documents related to your foreclosure may be invalidated and there may be a valid claim for damages.
As the nation's financial crisis has shown, misconduct is rampant within our financial system. Your mortgage transaction and/or the foreclosure process may have violated regulatory and legal standards. If this occurred, one of our skilled mortgage transaction analysts can reveal any technicalities that can help your attorney put a stop to your foreclosure or change the dynamics of your mortgage arrangement.
Solving Problems For Over 30 Years
The areas of foreclosure defense, mortgage, and other financial issues can be incredibly complex. Even if you are willing to negotiate and work with your bank in an effort to keep your home, you may not even understand where to start. We at Mortgage Fraud Examiners can help guide your attorney through the complex foreclosure process.
Below, are just a of the few of many established lines of attack where the bank had to negotiate on the homeowners terms, not theirs. Some have resulted in homeowners receiving multi million dollar awards and free title to their property.
Appraisal Fraud
Sometimes an appraiser will inflate the value of a property to please particular lenders to obtain repeat business from these lenders. Other times, however, appraisers may be colluding with lenders and receiving kickbacks for fraudulent appraisals. Remedies for appraisal fraud can include actual damages, punitive damages, and attorney fees. See, http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2014/12/bill-black-mortgage-appraisal-fraud-baack-bank-execs-profit.html
Breach Of Contract
Just as you have an obligation to pay your mortgage, the lender has a responsibility not to interfere with your ability to do so. Lenders who quietly reward brokers for bringing borrowers to them -and subsequently pass on the cost of the reward to the borrower – may share liability for the broker's breach of fiduciary duty. Other examples may include force placing insurance, resulting in more expensive insurance premiums.
Credit Reputation Damages
Upon determining that there has been a statutory violation, legal error, contract breach, or tortuous conduct regarding a foreclosure, you may have experienced economic damages. If your credit reports or credit scores have eroded due to any type of error, you may have legal remedies available to you.
Notary Fraud
We are often able to determine that the Notary's Commission is invalid, or documents were notarized without actually witnessing the borrower sign documents. This invalidates all documents in question and can lead to beneficial concessions from the lender, and possible punitive damages.
Typically, unconscionability refers to extremely unfair or one-sided terms in a contractual agreement, usually unbeknownst to the other party. This defense is focused on the events surrounding the creation and closing of a mortgage loan. Unconscionability can give the court great leeway in deciding whether a mortgage can be voided or changed.
Failure To Establish Conditions Precedent
Many homeowners want to get a foreclosure action thrown out of court right away. Using a failure to establish conditions precedent, you can successfully use this defense to attack a lender's pre-foreclosure process. We can help you obtain any evidence needed to prove the need of a condition precedent.
Unfair And Deceptive Practices
Overreaching mortgage transactions can often be challenged under state Unfair and Deceptive Practice (UDAP) law. Broker misconduct, licensing violations, and transactions with lenders and / or brokers who are not licensed, but should be, may be void.
Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act (ILSFDA)
The ILSFDA applies to the sales of subdivisions containing 25 or more residential lots (or, potentially more than 100) where interstate commerce is used to sell the subdivision's lots. There are specific requirements and disclosures that need to be made to the consumer prior to the sale and at closing when a builder wants to sell the lots.
Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA)
Under the ECOA, victims of bait-and-switch tactics can file a claim for legal recourse. If you have been taken advantage of due to unscrupulous marketing strategies, ECOA provides numerous solutions, including private remedies for actual and punitive damages, equitable relief, and attorney's fees.
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)
Consumers may bring lawsuits against abusive debt collectors violating the FDCPA, and may obtain damages from the debt collector. Damages may include actual damage costs of the lawsuit, and reasonable attorney's fees. Actual damages can also include compensable credit reputation damages.
Fair Housing Act
The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in residential real estate-related transactions based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, and national origin. Common violations of this act include lenders allowing discriminatory pricing by mortgage brokers or loan originators.
Home Ownership And Equity Protection Act (HOEPA)
The HOEPA Rule is a very powerful federal law governing high-cost refinance and home equity loans. Though HOEPA was enacted as an amendment to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), the act specifically addresses abusive practices. Violations of HOEPA allow victims to pursue substantial monetary damages.
Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA)
In addition to prohibiting kickbacks and unearned fees, RESPA governs many types of disclosures that lenders must provide at the time of closing. Enacted in 1972, this federal law enables damages, and sometimes revocation if the error triggers TILA.
Real Party In Interest
This is a procedural defense to foreclosure that can be extremely effective at stopping a lender's ability to foreclose. The real party in interest will essentially question the ownership of the mortgage and challenges whether the foreclosing party is, in fact, the holder of the mortgage and note.
Truth In Lending Act (TILA)
For any loan transaction, banks must provide a homeowner correct disclosures at or before the time of closing. If these disclosures are inaccurate, the loan may be statutorily rescindable under TILA. The lender must also provide a "Notice of the Right to Rescind" at closing. If this form is inaccurate, incomplete, or incorrect, the loan is rescindable up to three years after the date of closing.

What can I say, I love to be up to date with the latest tech when it comes to gaming. PSVR released almost a month ago now, and at the time of the pre-launch hype, I was excited and then reserved. $500 is a lot to spend on a new peripheral, but this is VR we're talking about, something I dreamed about since I was a kid, watching movies like Johnny Mnemonic and Total Recall. So fast forward to 2016, we don't have flying cars or Minority Report like crime tracking, but VR is finally here and possible in my own home. The excitement levels just couldn't contain themselves, and when the accessary released, I grabbed one immediately. This was it, this was finally the time I had waited for.
First off, the PS VR is a system that is overly convoluted when it comes to set up. Cables everywhere, making my PS4 look like it's about to get taken away by a tentacle grabbing alien. The PSVR set up isn't pretty, but it's not a huge hindrance. It will mostly bother those that like a super clean and tidy entertainment stand. I got over it, but it bugged me. The initial idea setting up the system and getting everything ready to go seemed so foreign to me at the start. Cables, plugging into another box, plugged into the USB, also another power cord, a camera now set up. I almost expected my PlayStation 4 to start foaming at the mouth.
Once initial set up was done, I started off with the PlayStation VR world disc that came in the bundle. I tried out the London Heist in first person and it was amazing to see myself in these various moments in a crime. From a shoot out on the highway that had my mouth dropping, to being stuck in front of a fist fight dodging swings. This is VR, this is amazing, and this is next level here. I tried out the plethora of other games in the disc and soon moved into the demo disc and VR playground that is offered on the PSN Network. Demo wise, I was getting some mixed results.
Here They Lie just about made me throw my headset off and grab the nearest chum bucket. It was first person and let me control my own movement. I didn't expect such a violent reaction but there is was. As if I was in the matrix and just got punched in the gut. The nausea was very real and troubling. I moved into some other titles with mixed results. I had heard with Driveclub that it was THE vomit comet of games released. I was surprised then when I raced a lap or two with little to no effect. Then I hit a wall and tried going in reverse… holy shit, my brain could not handle it. I tried to move forward and proceed on and then made my second mistake, looking to the side when taking turns. Whelp there went my lunch.
Before turning off the unit I gave the PS VR playground a chance. This was by far the crowning achievement of VR I played so far. This demo had so many different gameplay types that were light hearted, and anyone could get an idea of what VR offered with this. The platforming game here was absolutely mind blowing to me with the interaction with the controller, the head tracking, and neat visual elements. Yet it gave way to another small set of nausea, moving forward had me like whoa; I was starting to notice a pattern.
I was beginning to realize that VR was having a positive and negative effect on me. On one hand, I was absolutely immersed and enthralled with the way this small little headset could put me into a world that had me totally captivated. It reminded me of something one might experience at a theme park like Disneyland, but instead of going to park or paying a onetime use fee, this was hardware in my home, to use whenever I want. On the other hand, about half the experiences I was having were mixed results when it comes to me playing the games, or what I would experience after a long duration of game time. I tried to offset this like any good doctor might suggest to a person with motion sickness, VR or otherwise. Take breaks, take medicine, but nothing seemed to work to remove it completely.
Third person games or games not in the first person perspective I had little to no trouble with. First person, when stationary in movement, once again fine. It boiled down to controlled movement in first person and some select third person games. It hit fast, heavy, hard, and even as writing this, I'm still experiencing some issues from my session last night, which is the reason I'm writing this article today.
Last night I was able to grab a copy of Robinson: The Journey. This game sealed my fate in VR and gave me the ultimate conclusion I was already afraid to admit. The game itself aimed to take me to a foreign planet, with Dinosaurs and other creatures in a sci-fi experience like no other. I was excited to give this a try, I've been playing VR on and off for almost a month, I should have my VR legs right? Wrong… so much that I had to stop playing this after about 15 minutes. In disbelief I sat there and literally asked myself "Is this amazing new VR simulation not for me?" I still am thinking about it even now.
I popped some Dramamine and waited for about 30 minutes and then tried again. Ok, better this time and I was able to play for another solid 40 minutes or so yet when I finished I was exhausted, and had cold sweat running down my face. I felt like I had been able to take medicine and withstand the experience, but is this what I would consider fun and what to subject myself to every time I played VR? I had to think about that extremely hard. At what point does something you love to do or experience become a hindrance and no longer a fun option? PS VR had already made me question this, and ultimately that's why it's on the way now back to the store for a refund.
This isn't a life or death decision, it's videogames and a form of entertainment. This didn't make the choice any harder. Being a huge gamer for all my life and wishing for the day of VR and my body simply can't handle perhaps 40 percent of the games that I've tried, this isn't doing me any favors. At the current price point and tech, it's just a big pill to swallow. Get an amazing experience unlike anything ever experienced before but lose your equilibrium for the day, or even lunch if you're lucky. Doesn't seem like a bullet point I'd expect to sell me on a product does it?
I hope to see the technology improve and game developers find ways for VR to work easier with more motion sickness prone individuals like myself, as I know I'm surely not the only one affected. As it stands. PSVR, it's not you, it's me. I want to have you in my life, but it's not the right time and I don't know if it ever will be. It makes me sad, but it's time to part ways for now. Best of luck and for all those that can stomach PS VR, I'm envious of you all. Enjoy it.

Man City, Bayern Munich paired in Champions League group of death
There are few easy games coming up in the season's UEFA Champions League, as a surprisingly balanced draw set up a series of intriguing and competitive groups. But what was a shock was how many rematches also arose, particularly between German and English sides — Bayern Munich and Manchester City; Chelsea and Schalke; and Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund — will all meet again as they did in last year's group stages.
Every Champions league game is available across the FOX family, with full coverage from Sept. 16 across all of FOX's broadcast and digital platforms.
If there is a "group of death" this year, it might be in Group E, where Manchester City, Bayern and CSKA will all renew hostilities. Last year, Bayern and City ran away with the group, burying CSKA Moscow dead last, but the games between the two giants were quite competitive. Manchester City lost to Bayern at home 3-1 last October in an imperious show sparked by Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, but recovered to down Bayern on the final day 3-2 after falling behind early. The unlikely hero James Milner scored the critical goal in what was actually a dead match as both teams had long since qualified.
But things are likely to be a bit trickier as this year they are joined not by minnows Viktoria Plzen — but by rising Italian powers Roma. And while Serie A is not what it once was, there are no easy games in Rome.
Elsewhere, Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund will now meet for the third time overall, and second time in two years. Last season, Arsenal survived a final day loss to Napoli to squeak into the Round of 16 after Dortmund and Arsenal split their games, with both sides losing at home. The addition of a solid Anderlecht side to this year's mix and an always tricky test in Turkey against Galatasaray do make this group the second-toughest overall.
But Jose Mourinho is likely to be smiling. His Chelsea will again face Schalke, a team they twice beat 3-0; a weak Maribor side that edged past Celtic; and a Sporting side that while sticky, is not the kind of threat they once were.
Elsewhere, Liverpool was grouped in with Real Madrid and Basel, two sides they know quite well. Liverpool knocked off the reigning champs in 1981 to hoist the European Cup — but were eliminated by Basel in 2002-03. Overall, with first-timers Ludogorets in the mix, Liverpool and Real Madrid have to be the favorites to progress.
Barcelona and PSG also got a kind draw, joined in Group F with Ajax and APOEL. Ajax beat Barcelona in a shock last year 2-1 — but that was after matters had long since been decided. In the opening game, Barcelona torched the former champs 4-0 with Lionel Messi scoring an impressive hat trick.
Atletico and Porto also got balanced draws, with the La Liga champs facing a solid but faded Juventus side along with Olympiakos and Malmo. A rising Porto side is grouped with troubled Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk, Basque powers Athletic Bilbao and minnows BATE.
But there is intrigue in Group C where any of the four sides — Zenit, Benfica, Leverkusen and Monaco — can lay claim to a berth in the next round. All four teams have estimable strengths and notable weaknesses, and these games could be the most balanced of the entire group stage.
The draw, in full. Matchday 1 will take place on Sept. 16-17:
Group A: Atletico Madrid (Spain), Juventus (Italy), Olympiakos (Greece), Malmo (Sweden).
Group B: Real Madrid (Spain), Basel (Switzerland), Liverpool (England), Ludogorets Razgrad (Bulgaria).
Group C: Benfica (Portugal), Zenit St. Petersburg (Russia), Bayer Leverkusen (Germany), Monaco (France).
Group D: Arsenal (England), Borussia Dortmund (Germany), Galatasaray (Turkey), Anderlecht (Belgium).
Group E: Bayern Munich (Germany), Manchester City (England), CSKA Moscow (Russia), AS Roma (Italy).
Group F: Barcelona (Spain), Paris Saint-Germain (France), Ajax (Netherlands), APOEL (Cyprus).
Group G: Chelsea (England), Schalke (Germany), Sporting Lisbon (Portugal), Maribor (Slovenia).
Group H: Porto (Portugal), Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine), Athletic Bilbao (Spain), BATE Borisov (Belarus).

5 Tips to choose the right dissertation topic
Larry Jones-Esan: Contribution to the enhancement of quality teaching and the development of academic programmes.
Choosing the right course for you
Selecting the right degree is a big decision and one you shouldn't take lightly. For some people, it can be very simple as they probably grew up knowing what they wanted to become; a Doctor, Engineer or Pilot. For everyone else undecided, the choice can be a challenging one.
Before choosing a course you need to think about the following:
- Where you are now
- Where you want to be
- Which course will help you achieve your goal
To gain a deeper understanding, we asked a number of our students how they picked their course and any advice they would give to anyone struggling with the decision:
- Identify your passion
It is important to find out what makes you tick….because what's the point of doing something you have no interest in? Studying a subject you have a passion in will encourage you to get out of bed for those 9 a.m classes and be fully involved in the lectures. Research shows if you enjoy your subject, you're more likely to achieve better grades.
- What motivates you?
Think about it at least twice! Are you sure this is the subject you want to study? Or are you following in a family members footsteps? Remember you are going to spend a significant amount of money and time, so make sure your choice is the right one otherwise you might end up saying you are bored.
- Consider Career planning
After identifying your passion, you will probably know what you want to do for the rest of your life – but will the course enable you to bag that dream job after you graduate? When picking your course it's important to think about realistic career prospects; what are the job opportunities like? How tough is the market? How likely is it you'll end up with a job you'll love? As Confucius says "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life"
- Get advice
If you are torn between courses and have no idea which to pick, consider getting professional advice. This maybe from people who inspire you, the National Careers Service or the University itself! You will be astonished to find out how helpful they can be and guide you to your perfect career.
We wish you all the best in picking the right course for you!

Ragasudha Vinjamuri – Meet one of our Academic Tutor who is spreading the Indian art, culture and heritage across the UK!
"Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon" – Paul Brandt
She quotes the above line on her email signature and it truly correlates with her personality! To have a successful and an evolving career is one biggest achievement. But, to have multiple successful careers that too, all running parallel at the same time in your life is something beyond my capabilities to describe.
Meet Ragasudha Vinjamuri – An Academic Tutor at our University. Fellow at the Royal Society of Arts, Member at Commonwealth Journalists Association, Founder of Sanskruti Centre of Cultural Excellence London, The Chairperson for the Public Relations Committee of Hindu Forum of Britain. Yes! She is all this and much more! Ragasudha has Double Postgraduate Degrees – one in Tourism Management, one in Literature and she is working towards a PhD in Tourism Management.
Ever since her childhood days, she has an inclination towards Arts and Literature. She is a professional Bharatanatyam Dancer trained by the revered Dr Uma Rama Rao and has performed in the British Parliament four times; which is a record for any artist! Since 2004, she has been teaching this art from to her students in the UK. Earlier in Manchester, where she started her initial dance classes and since this summer, she has started Indian folk & classical dance classes at the YMCA in South Harrow, Greater London. Through her other venture 'Sanskruti' she offers cultural education and training in Indian folk dances and Bharatanatyam. She has also conducted workshops about Hindu Mythology in various schools across London. Her intention is to try and provide a training platform for children and women to help them build confidence and get inspired.
Ragasudha, an expert of the Telugu language, has written and published various articles, short stories and poems in Telugu. She has successfully transcribed 300 year old Telugu palm leaf folios for the British Library, providing insight into the life and work of the great Hindu Theologian Acharya Ramanuja. Her work was released at an event in the British Parliament, on the 9th of May 2016 to mark the beginning of Ramanuja's 999th birthday celebrations. It took her over three years to complete this project. She accepted that this was the most challenging task taken up by her so far. Her daughter was just six months old when she started working for this project, she reminisced about how she juggled between her long visits to the library and her baby. She is the cultural secretary of 'Telugu Association of London' and also is associated with 'The European Telugu Association and the Telangana NRE Association'. Apart from this, she teaches Telugu language at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London to PhD students; who have research topics with reference to the language. The superwoman that she is, Ragasudha has also edited the Telugu script of the popular Warner Brothers movie 'Batman v/s Superman: Dawn of Justice.' She is responsible for the Public Relations at the Maharashtra Mandal London and is also closely associated with the cultural events conducted by them.
Ragasudha has been felicitated at various events and has a long list of awards to her name. April this year, The Switzerland Telugu Association has conferred upon her the Title of 'Nrutya Nagaja' and gave her a citation at Zurich. She has been felicitated by 'The Bromley and Kent Telugu Association', for her achievements in the field of art and culture in the past 10 years. The latest feather in her cap is receiving the prestigious 'Pravasi Stree Shakti Award' 2016 at the hands of the Cultural Minister in India. This was a global nomination based process for women who have been contributing exceptionally to social, cultural fabric of India as non-resident Indians abroad. She was the only one in Europe to have received it this year!
When asked about what motivates her in her life, she states that the motivation comes from within her and unless one is self-driven, one cannot achieve their dream. She states, "I'm really proud of my achievements and I'm self-driven. One should be!" She also adds, "I have taken up several different tasks in my life but I always ensure that I excel in everything that I take upon myself." She gives full credit of her success to her family – Her husband and her little daughter for their continuous and unified support.
Signing off we would say, Ragasudha is the personification of the Crystal Prism; her inner light makes herself and the people around her bright and colourful.

The University of Sunderland receives national funding to increase the region's degree apprenticeships
We have been chosen as one of a select group of UK universities to receive funding to support the development of thousands of new degree apprenticeships, beginning in 2017. The University of Sunderland is one of only eighteen universities to receive a share of up to £250k in a £4.5m Government pot, to develop a range of programmes that will provide much needed skills for business and industry.
The Government funding has been awarded by HEFCE to projects focused on boosting the number of degree apprenticeships available. It forms a key part of the drive to strengthen the reputation of on-the-job training by raising standards and creating more high-quality opportunities for young people and adults from all backgrounds.
Working in partnership with leading employers, degree apprenticeship providers will offer 5,200 new opportunities for apprentices and their employers. These new opportunities will be funded through the Government's Apprenticeship Levy, which comes into effect in April 2017.
Designed by employers, universities and professional bodies, degree apprenticeships deliver high end skills and offer a tailored alternative to a traditional degree course. Bringing together university study with paid work, degree apprentices spend part of their time at university and part with their employer. New degree apprenticeships are set to open the door to hundreds of career opportunities.
Universities and colleges across England have been awarded the £4.5m to develop new degree apprenticeships for students starting in September 2017.
The University of Sunderland, which already offers a degree apprenticeship in BSc Digital and Technology Solutions, will offer programmes in areas such as health care science, nursing, paramedic, cyber security, computing, and chartered management, with further programmes expected to be developed during 2017.
The University has been in detailed discussion for months with a range of North East employers to ensure its programmes fit exactly with their business needs. The University's work in this area builds on the support already provided for business and industry in the region – be it graduate intern support, knowledge transfer partnerships, research or use of its facilities.
Former Managing Director of Accenture, Bob Paton, who helped set up the University of Sunderland's first Degree Apprenticeship, BSc Digital and Technology Solutions, said of Sunderland's approach to collaborating with business: "The North East will be more successful the more young people we have in jobs. For that to happen we need training, education and skill sets that match our economy. There is a big responsibility for training providers to talk to employers to find out exactly what is needed. The University of Sunderland is excellent at that.
"They do a great job in reaching out to employers, who don't want a one size fits all but something that matches their specific requirement. The University molded a course that was perfect for Accenture, and I know they have for other employers.
"The University of Sunderland has really grasped apprenticeships and is making a real difference. Not all universities are doing that."
University of Sunderland Pro Vice-Chancellor, Professor John MacIntyre, said: "Being one of the eighteen projects to receive funding in this first round of programme development will allow us to continue to collaborate with industry and ensure there are highly qualified individuals with high-level qualifications and on the job experience, who meet regional business needs and requirements and have opportunities for exciting and challenging careers."
What are degree apprenticeships?
A degree apprenticeship is a real job where the employer invests in training and the employee receives a first degree during the course of the apprenticeship. Apprentices work for 30 hours a week.
Learning fits around that work commitment and requires flexible learning modes like day or block release, distance or blended learning.
What is the Apprenticeship Levy?
To fund the increase in apprenticeships, the Government is introducing an apprenticeship levy from April 2017.
The levy will amount to a 0.5 per cent tax on the wage bill for employers whose salary costs are £3m or more each year.
It should generate approximately £3 billion a year and levied funds can only be spent on an approved apprenticeship.

Look, Swirl and Smell – Our Wine Tasting event
To enhance the gastronomy module of the Tourism and Hospitality programme, a wine tasting event was hosted on campus the Wednesday 2nd of November.
It was an opportunity for everyone to increase their knowledge about the different types of wine and the pairing of wine and food. It was great fun and we all learned some interesting new facts! We realised that taking lectures outside the classrooms, bring more value to the module and it also encourages students to get involved in organising those events.
Sheryl Brown, a Bsc Tourism and Hospitality Top-up student was the one in charge of the wine tasting event. She brought on campus a sommelier from M&S to give a lecture about the wines
Further, a beautiful set up with a black and gold theme was done by the university staff and students. It was a fantastic presentation, with a table filled with cheese, crackers, grapes, olives and chocolates to match the different wines. This got everyone excited to come and join us. It was definitely a fun-filled atmosphere.
Here is a sneak peek of our event…

Academic Content
On the Oxford Royale Academy Ancient History course, you will consider a variety of texts from the ancient world and what they tell us about Ancient Greek and Roman society. You will look at some key passages from important works such as Herodotus' Histories and the letters of Pliny the Younger, whose most celebrated epistle (penned to the Roman historian Tacitus) describes the dramatic eruption of Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii.
You will take an intellectual, analytical approach to each of the texts you examine, considering the context in which they were written and the author's motives, debating how these may have shaped the impression the writer is trying to give of their subject. While learning about ancient attitudes to all manner of subjects, from religion to warmongering, you will learn to question what you read, learning about the numerous difficulties of taking what you read at face value. You will also consider the interplay between ancient history and archaeology, looking at how the archaeological record can illuminate – or be at odds with – the historical record, and vice versa.

Why take this course?
The Oxford Royale Academy Ancient History course gives you the opportunity to pursue a fascinating subject that you may not have been able to study at school. As well as being an enjoyable subject in its own right, it develops a high level of thinking along with key skills that will prove valuable for many other humanities subjects, such as analytical and essay-writing skills, making it useful preparation for gap year students about to go to university. The course also develops important transferable skills, such as confidence when speaking in public and working effectively with others, both of which are excellent life skills to have that may enhance future job applications.

Coach Excursions
The United Kingdom has a rich cultural heritage, and a course with Oxford Royale Academy is the perfect way for a young learner to explore this. All ORA courses include coach excursions to places of historical and social significance in the UK. On the Ancient History programme, attendees will board the ORA coach to two such destinations. Last summer's coach excursions included visits to Blenheim Palace and London.
Extra-Curricular Activities
You'll spend the majority of your time immersed in Ancient History, but you'll have some time to explore Oxford and relax. You'll go on day trips to interesting destinations such as London, Shakespeare's home town of Stratford-upon-Avon, or Blenheim Palace, birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. In the evenings, you'll be able to choose from a fun programme of activities such as karaoke nights and salsa-dancing lessons. A special graduation ceremony and dinner brings your course to a memorable conclusion, giving you the chance to celebrate your achievements at Oxford Royale Academy.
Some past afternoon activities enjoyed by our students include the following:
- Punting: travel the waterways of the River Cherwell in a flat-bottomed boat, using a five-metre-long pole to propel your vessel! This mode of transport is unique to Oxford and Cambridge.
- Summer sports: have you ever played the traditional English game of croquet? There will be the chance to do so on the lawns of your campus! Real tennis (a variation of tennis played indoors, with a heavier ball) has also been enjoyed by our previous students.
- College and museum tours: An ORA course is the perfect opportunity to visit some of the University of Oxford's most famous Colleges (including New College, Magdalen College and Christ Church). You will also have the chance to visit Oxford's Ashmolean Museum – famous for being the world's first university museum.
- Dance and music workshops: have you ever wanted to try Indian dance? How about Salsa dancing? Or drumming? Experts in these art forms will be dropping in to our campuses to run workshops, allowing our students to unleash their creative sides.
The events and entertainment on offer don't stop when the sun starts to go down at our campuses! The following will be available to every student on this programme:
- Outdoor theatre: many Oxford Colleges put on Shakespeare plays in their quads and gardens throughout the summer months.
- Karaoke in Oxford: head to a venue in Oxford and sing along to the latest hits.
- Themed parties at local hotels and country houses: head to a local venue and enjoy dinner and dancing with your friends from around the world; past venues include Ardington House in Oxfordshire and The Randolph Hotel in the city of Oxford.

The Ancient History course for ages 19-25 is residential in colleges of the University of Oxford, enabling students to immerse themselves in the environment and atmosphere of one of the best universities in the world. Students on this programme will stay in Merton College, a secluded haven in the city centre, or Jowett Walk (part of Balliol College). Both colleges have strong claims to being the oldest of all the colleges of the University of Oxford, and our summer courses for ages 19-25 are designed with the academic nature of their setting in mind. In addition to their studies, participants will have plenty of free time to enjoy independent exploration of the inspirational city of Oxford, and to conduct their own research in Oxford's libraries.

A month-long state of emergency has been declared as violence spread from the capital to other parts of the country including the Mediterranean city of Alexandria. The move has been opposed by the US.
A curfew from 7pm to 6am has been declared in Cairo, according to reports, as well as ten other provinces including Alexandria and Suez.
The health ministry put the number of dead at 278 - including 43 police officers - with hundreds more injured.
Hazem Al Beblawi, the Prime Minister, said he remained committed to the democratic process under a civilian state.
But he justified the use of force saying that Morsi loyalists had been sowing chaos around the country, "terrorising citizens, attacking public and private property".
"The state had to intervene to restore security and peace for Egyptians," he said. "No democratic country would impose an emergency state unless it is absolutely necessary."
US Secretary of State John Kerry called the events "deplorable".
"Violence will not create a roadmap for Egypt's future. Violence only impedes the transition."
He added that the promise of the 2011 revolution has not yet been fully realised.
Egypt's vice president, Mohamed ElBaradei, has announced also his resignation. Meanwhile two Brotherhood politicians have reportedly been arrested.
Sky's Middle East Correspondent Sam Kiley, reporting earlier from inside the Rabaa al Adawiya camp in the capital, said it was "under very heavy gunfire" and was a "massive military assault on largely unarmed civilians in very large numbers".
He said government forces were using machine guns, snipers, AK-47 and M16 rifles and were firing into the crowd.
Kiley added: "There are machine gun rounds, and snipers on the roof, that are preventing people from getting any closer to the field hospital (in the camp).
"I haven't seen any evidence yet of any weapons on the side of the pro-Morsi camp. The camp is very full of women and children."
He said it was a scene of "extreme chaos and bloodshed" and "many hundreds of troops and interior ministry police and special forces are involved".
"The dead and dying are on the steps of an improvised field hospital. The scenes here are absolutely graphic.
"I have covered many wars and this is as severe a battlefield as I have witnessed, with the exception of scenes in Rwanda. There are dozens and dozens of people who have been shot in the head, neck and upper body."
Among those reported killed in the camp was Asmaa al Beltagui the 17-year-old daughter of senior Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed al Beltagui.
Meanwhile, Egyptian authorities have released video footage taken from a helicopter which it said showed gunmen in the camp firing at security forces.
The unrest spread beyond the capital, as pro-Morsi supporters clashed with police in the Nile Delta cities of Minya and Assiut, as police stations, government buildings and churches were attacked or set ablaze.
In Alexandria, tear gas canisters rained down on a pro-Morsi march in the Sharq neighbourhood, amid repeated bursts of automatic gunfire.
Residents, armed with clubs, came out of their homes and shops to help the police, detaining Morsi supporters and handing them over to officers at the Sharq police station.
Morsi supporters, carrying Egyptian flags and pictures of the deposed leader, then clashed with his opponents on a road carpeted with rocks.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said he was "deeply concerned at the escalating violence in Egypt, and regret the loss of life on all sides".
He added: "I condemn the use of force in clearing protests and call on the security forces to act with restraint."
Qatar, Turkey and Iran were among the other countries criticising the deadly crackdown.

text: Hi all, Anyone who tells you you don't need a screen protector for your EVO because the glass can't scratch is lying to you. Believe me, it can. But the problem with screen protectors is that it seems almost impossible to get them on just right without bubbles or dust getting under them and making them look nasty. Well something you may not realize is that even with the protectors that seem like they have adhesive on them, you can rinse it in water first to remove all dust and apply it - it will still stick and it is much easier to squeeze out bubbles with it wet than dry. You can even rub the "adhesive" side with your fingers under the water - it won't hurt it. Of course, have a rag handy so you don't get any water inside your EVO as you rub the bubbles out. ** Also, to prevent my screen attracting dust before I put the protector on due to static electricity, i lightly rubbed it with alcohol, dried it with a cloth then rubbed the screen with an anti-static cloth. Again, make sure no water gets close to the innards of your EVO for obvious reasons.

Could this video prove aliens exist? Unbelievable UFO sighting caught on camera
UFO fanatics are convinced this cloud formation is hiding extraterrestrials.
A video clip has emerged online that could finally be the proof we've needed that aliens do in fact exist.
Footage of the UFO sighting was captured in May this year.
The location of the sighting is unknown, but it was recently uploaded to alien fan site UFO Sightings Daily by blogger Scott Waring.
Next to the video, Scott wrote: "It's a well know fact that not only do UFOs hide in clouds, they actually create clouds around them."
He went on: "The 1957 Fort Belvoir, Virginia incident is an example of this.
"Back then a soldier took photos of a black UFO ring that headed over the base but changed from a ring to a disk cloud in just under a minute.
"But his amazing set of photos, while it was changing, was groundbreaking for all to prove that UFOs do make clouds."
The video begins with footage of a collection of clouds but one, in particular, is distinctly different.
Its square shape sticks out from the rest and the maker of the video has handily added a graphic of a UFO to prove how it might fit inside the cloud.
The clip was uploaded to YouTube last month and has had tongues wagging.
One viewer commented: "Bizarre, not normal. It's a big cloud rectangle, true extraterrestrial hidden in cloud. Good video."
But another said: 'Oh come on? For real? It's clouds nothing more! Look at the rest of the clouds they look similar."
Just last week, an amazing video of a fireball-like UFO streaking through space had us wondering if we'd finally found E.T.
Another UFO appeared near the International Space Station in America not long ago – forcing NASA to cut its live feed of the sighting.
