Review by horomnizon
Absolutely a masterpiece. I couldn't put it down. And not just a good read, but the issues it brings to mind concerning immigration and the relationship of various cultures was sprinkled with humor. This should be required reading for anybody studying world cultures or sociology. At first the characters can be a little confusing, but it is an enjoyable book. The way these people see each other - how they do not bother to learn the truth about each other - yet they all love the one character because of his honesty. However, he has helped them without ever revealing much about himself - a hidden past that none of them even want to hear about. He helps these immigrants to Rome (whether they are from outside the country or just another part of Italy) to live amongst each other, and they wholeheartedly believe he is a native.....but they don't know everything.
Review by FicusFan
This was a very interesting, sad, and funny book. I saw it in the store and was intrigued by the cover.It is set in modern day Rome, and deals with a group of residents in one apartment building in Piazza Vittorio. A resident has been killed and another has disappeared. There is only one 'Roman' among the residents, and the rest are foreigners both immigrants and illegals. There are several other Italians from different cities/regions, but they too are considered outsiders by the Romans, and they also consider themselves as 'others'.The book is short and the structure has each of 10 residents telling their story about the killing and the disappearance. While talking about the incidents, they of course tell their own story, and express their attitudes, experiences, hopes, goals and disappointments. They talk about discrimination, and being hurt, yet they in turn disparage others in certain groups that they think are the root of problems.Each resident chapter is followed by a chapter from the resident who has disappeared. He talks about his experience with the resident, and about himself. The police have determined that the man who disappeared is not really Italian, but an immigrant. Because he argued with the dead resident, is an immigrant, and missing the police also consider him the killer - though there is no evidence.The other residents are all shocked that the disappeared man is not Italian or Roman. Because they all thought he was, and because he was so kind and helpful, he alone crosses the barriers of ethnicity.The final chapter is of the policeman who is working on the case. It provides a wrap up, and 2 endings.I liked the writing, the story was in turns funny and sad, because of the prejudice that was rampant. The characters were interesting, as was the structure of the story.
Review by TadAD
This novel by Algerian-born Lakhous definitely falls into the category of a Good Find. The quirky title and interesting cover caught my eye in the library. Sitting down to try it, I ended up reading it cover to cover in one shot. It's not long, but it's definitely entertaining.The book is one part mystery and two parts commentary on the immigrant experience. Lorenzo Manfredini has been found murdered in the elevator of an apartment building in Rome where he lived. Amedeo, another resident, disappeared at about the same time. Further, the police have just discovered that Amedeo, though speaking flawless Italian and knowing Rome better than most residents, is actually an immigrant.From this starting point, Lakhous has ten other residents and the police inspector each speak for a chapter, providing their perceptions of Amedeo. They all, except the last, admire or love him and are firm in their convictions that he simply cannot be the culprit. However, the revelation of his foreign status leads each to wander off into their own thoughts on immigrants: ranging from those who are also immigrants struggling with Italy, through Italians who resent the presence of foreigners, to those who view even those from a different region of Italy as less civilized. Interspersed with each of these voices is Amedeo, commenting on the person who just spoke, explaining them more fully, pointing out their prejudices, valuing them.The book is laugh-out-loud funny at some points, but there is always an undercurrent of seriousness, of somber comment on what it means to be an immigrant. There is also observation on the blindness of prejudice and stereotyping.A quick read that will certainly repay the time—a strong recommendation.
Review by DieFledermaus
Funny and entertaining, if slight and at times overdone. The book is told from multiple viewpoints – each person has a section where they describe their relationship to the helpful but enigmatic Amedeo, who has been accused of murder. Amedeo's entries relating to the person who has just narrated follow. A disliked resident has been killed in the elevator of an apartment building at the Piazza Vittorio and a number of residents, neighbors and employees are interviewed. Many of those interviewed are immigrants – some from different countries, others from different parts of Italy. The confusion over the origin of several of the narrators is a funny running joke and it was interesting to see the variety of attitudes towards all kinds of immigrants. For example, the Milanese professor is scornful of Rome as well as anyone from the south of Italy while others have more generalized xenophobia towards non-Italians. However, many of the characterizations are over-the-top (one resident accuses the Chinese of stealing her dog and suggests the UN should declare war on China) and the revelations of Amedeo's background are somewhat anticlimactic. Still, an interesting and fast read.
Review by ccayne
Loved it - loved the format of each suspect in the Gladiator's murder getting a voice. I loved the diversity of the characters with the only unifying factor, their love of Amedeo, a powerful yet shadow-like figure. The action, such as it is, unfolds slowly - great showing of how people become "others". Lakhouse gently illuminates how these perceptions arise and just how superficial they are but also how powerful. Great characters, sly humor and social relevance.

I've been quite absent in the blogosphere this last week. My hectic schedule was rudely interrupted by a 'lovely' sinus infection. After a week of antibiotics, I'm finally starting to feel better. In between the sickness, I had to do some working and some studying. And after (barely) managing those, I couldn't look at a single screen anymore. This let to my absence here. Feeling terribly sorry for myself, I did order myself a little present, a few paper items from psikhouvanjou. That relieved the pain a bit! 😉 Another good thing: I'll have a lot of catching up reading to do this week!

Tumultuous times in Finland
After the December's World Championship Gold party, it's been a lively midwinter in Finnish floorball. The ever-present anonymous commentators had a field day biting into Petri Kettunen's sudden exit from Finland's bench and with that settled, new tasty topics have been flowing in. Outrageous victory margins, popularity of the Superfinale, the necessity of sudden-death overtime…
Finland's glimmering WFC gold was merely ten days old when Finland's biggest newspaper Helsingin Sanomat published a story about the Finnish Floorball Federation possibly not using Petri Kettunen's contract option for another two years.
"We are looking for someone who can coach the team for the full four years and we are looking at other possibilities besides Kettunen, too", the chairman of the board Ismo Haaponiemi told the paper somewhat vaguely.
Petri Kettunen himself. interviewed for the same story, was taken by surprise. "I have not heard anything about being replaced", he said, stressing that he would be happy to lead the team into the Prague WFC in 2018 and to Finland's home WFC in 2020.
For the next six weeks, the situation stayed open but with rumors getting stronger about that Kettunen would be replaced by Classic head coach Petteri Nykky. When Kettunen lead Finland to take on Czech in an exhibition game in the beginning of February, it was understood it would be his farewell as the head coach. A week later, it was time for the federation's press conference that saw Ismo Haaponiemi pull a very familiar-looking rabbit from the hat: Petteri Nykky would take over again assisted by his trusted lieutenant Samu Kuitunen and additional staff to be named later. Nykky would continue in a double role for two years, coaching both Classic and the national team to then devote his time to Team Finland only to maximize the effort for the home WFC.
Curiously enough, Petri Kettunen will continue as the head of top sports in the federation, with national team coaches, Petteri Nykky included, reporting to him.
Quite obviously, Petteri Nykky's double role as both a Salibandyliiga coach and a national team coach drew dissenting voices from other teams. How could the coaches of competing organizations afford to share confidential information about their teams, tactics and players with him? Would Classic now have an unfair edge hiring players with a fast lane to the national team?
In an interview, Nykky himself sounded almost offended by such allegations. "Persons thinking about things like that do not sound like sports people at all. It has always been my task and goal to help potential top players reach their goals and I do not think we can yet afford not to have the best persons in the most important roles in Finnish floorball."
One would think sharing the costs for employing a top coach like Petteri Nykky with the national team would be a bargain for Classic. There have been lots of speculation about Nykky's contract and Helsingin Sanomat wrote about two representatives of Classic's sponsors who are members of the central board of the federation and about the chairman running the very golf club that employs Petteri Nykky as a golf pro. The editor of Finland's leading independent floorball site Pääkallo.fi, Joel Siltanen, wrote a commentary about Classic's CEO Pasi Peltola's trusted men's strong position in the federation. He also revealed there had been a clique of national team players wanting Petri Kettunen replaced. No players were or would be named, Siltanen stated.
With the federation announcing changes would also be made to the U19 national team coaching staff after the WFC in Sweden in May, commentators thought they saw a pattern emerging: Lead Finland to a WFC gold and see someone else take over. Finland's present U19 coach Heikki Luukkonen won the WFC gold two years ago in Helsingborg.
With the storm about Finland's national team management settling, outrageous Salibandyliiga results started another one. After Classic beat SalBa 18-2, even top players started coming out with frustrated tweets. Do something, players like Miko Kailiala and Peter Kotilainen tweeted, implying the number of Salibandyliiga teams should be reduced to maintain quality and make games more even. It is now too easy to become an elite player and not all players have ambitious goals to develop themselves like we do, Kailiala said. Everyone wanted to have their say and opinions differed. Happee recording Salibandyliiga's biggest win ever with 17-0 against last-place M-Team helped little.
After EräViikingit crushed M-Team with 11-2 their coach Markus Huhtimo drew more than a 100 comments saying it was a sad occasion and their opponent should start working harder to develop. Huhtimo's comments were seen as offensive and disrespectful towards a smaller club with far less resources or top players but Huhtimo said he had mostly been saddened about their opponent's hopelessness and lack of fighting spirit even before the game.
Basically, the dramatic results have been due to three things. First of all, Classic and EräViikingit are in a class of their own and seem to crush even middle-class teams who do not happen to have one of their best days. Secondly, SalBa seems to cynically concentrate in avoiding relegation, putting all their effort in winnable games and bending easily when there's little hope against top teams. And thirdly, M-Team seems to have given up and accepted their goodbyes to Salibandyliiga. Just last weekend, they were only 4-2 down at Nokian KrP to then lose interest and be destroyed by 18-3.
Eventually, the federation asked about Salibandyliiga teams' opinions and a bit surprisingly, they expressed no interest for a smaller league. hence, the federation just today declared they had decided to continue with a 14-team league at least for the season 2018-2019.
Despite a good final day last year with more than 10,000 spectators, there still seems to be a strong opposition among Salibandyliiga teams against Superfinale. In a recent poll by sports newspaper Urheilusanomat, 11 Salibandyliiga coaches out of 14 still favored an old-time final series played best of five or best of seven. The managers of the teams may have their own opinions, though.

Why does a Disabled Agent move back to the "Enabled" status?
Posted by - NA - on 23 August 2006 01:07 PM
Problem description: A while after setting an Agent to the "Disabled" status, it shows up as "Enabled" and participates in distributed builds.
Solution/Workaround: In principle setting the Agent to the "Disabled" status should indeed prevent the Agent from working. However, there are two Agent Settings option that can bring a disabled Agent back to life:
1. Agent|Preference page, "On system start-up" option: This option is set by default to "Enable Agent". Changing it to "Keep last Agent State" will make sure the Agent remains disabled between user sessions.
2. Agent|Preferences page, "Enable Agent while screensaver is running" option: disabling this option will ensure the Agent remains disabled even when the system screen saver starts.

Human Centipede 2
June 8, 2011 by Post Team
Human Centipede 2, The favorite movie sequel flavored poop all over the world will not see the light of day in Britain. I've never considered particularly sensitive. I've never vomited from the turmoil, the images of the terrible wounds, shocking videos, or have someone else blow into pieces near my feet. However, I find "Human Centipede" very disturbing, and I've never even seen the film.
The gastro-centric sadistic film never seemed very convincing to a premise for my taste – and I'm not normally one to nitpick. However I'm not sure you want to know whose film preferably includes people who have sewn their mouths to ashles other human beings. "But as my English teacher in high school always taught me: Do not knock it until you try.
However, from what I gathered from reviews and the death and decay Tax socioeconomic own film, beyond mere shock value of the movie does not seem to have much substance. That is, besides the obvious economic allegory class system of the front, middle and end of the centipede that the upper classes, middle and bottom of society.
Luckily for us, apparently the film's director, Tom Six, I do not think we've seen enough fun to eat turd. Now, six is?? Pushing a sh*t down our throats – literally – with "Human II Centipede (Full Sequence)."
Surprisingly, the British Board of Film Certification believes that the sequel lacks some of the original charm and has been barred from being released in Britain. According to rumors the scene where a man fcks the end of the centipede with his c**k covered barbed wire pushed the film a teensy bit over the edge.
As a result of the junta's refusal to rate the film, see the "Human Centipede II" is against the law. Not only does the film not shown in theaters, but also it will not be released on DVD or available for download.
According to the BBFC, "Human Centipede II" made "little attempt to portray a victim in the film as more than objects to be abused, degraded and mutilated for fun and excitement of the central character, as well as for pleasure from the audience. "
Of course, this will most likely result in a fervent cult following of the film and its famous director Tom Six, who promised the sequel would have the original look like "My Little Pony." Now that fund has made six repugnant to the British, I have curiosity to see how America will deal with the film. Are we going to side with the British, or stand for lovers of droppings everywhere?
I hope that for the second, because although it cannot be my cup of tea, do you really want to be as c**ky as the British?

My favorite paid mining tools are those that offer nuggets of data where Google has failed. While Google will often land an email address, business phone numbers and street addresses; Google data mining will not always turn up relevant data.
As a data miner, you should have at least one paid tool at your disposal. Today I'm going to share with you 5 Data Mining Tools You Can Buy or Rent.
Most tools that I've come across tend to over promise, only to offer up contacts that I could have easily found on my own. Some will count every search against you even if it's a failed attempt, or they'll turn up useless emails long abandoned.
Remember, we all have those email accounts curled up in a dusty corner of the internet highway punch-drunk off of SPAM. Not every email will garner a response even if it is valid. Though valid is a start.
To Give You Some options here are 5 buy or rent data mining tools that I've personally used:
- Email Extractor Tool (Free to $) This tool is one I use often. The free version is perfect, but if you love the tool, buy the paid version and keep them in business
- Email Extractor Tool for Chrome ($) This one is a cheap buy. It's good for scrubbing pages that you google for potential emails. I find it helps my eyeballs zone in on an email I would have glossed over, but it may slow chrome down a bit
- Intelius ($$) This one is great for finding emails, home phone, cell phone, addresses (be ready to smile and dial for phone numbers)
- RocketReach ($$$) is a great tool for emails you just can't seem to find, but not very price savvy
- Salestools.io ($$$) I had too many issues and found that it turned up many emails I could find on my own. Possible that they've improved as it seemed to be in beta testing mode when I signed up
These, of course, are just a few tools that I've found helpful. If you know of more data mining tools please comment below. I'd love to review one of your favorite tools.

It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that Ming. The Canadian Opera Company's season-closing production of George Frideric Handel's Semele has a unique centrepiece – a ornately carved temple from the Ming Dynasty. Since 2007, the Buddhist building has been the property of the celebrated visual/performance artist Zhang Huan, who is the production's director and designer. Here are some facts and what-have-yous relating to the 16th-century onstage shrine.
– The temple was discovered by Mr. Zhang in China's Zhejiang province. He then had it moved, piece by piece, to his studio in the country's largest city. In doing so, the temple was literally and figuratively shanghaied.
– Two massive cargo containers were required to ship the temple to North America from China.
– Made of camphor wood, the structure weighs approximately 15 tonnes and measures an estimated 40-by-40-by-23 feet.
– Temple reconstruction takes approximately 32 hours, involving a dozen stagehands and a specially built crane.
– A custom rolling platform (made of steel supports and a plywood flooring) was built to move the temple aside when other productions are onstage.
Brad Wheeler
Semele is presented May 9, 11, 13, 16, 19, 22, 24 and 26. $12 to $318 ($22 tickets are available for people under the age of 30). Four Seasons Centre, 145 Queen St. W., coc.ca, 416-363-8231.

From rock gigs to large choral and orchestral events, Komodo has the equipment, the expertise and the experience to capture not only the sound but the vibe of any size of live event.
Shows we've recorded have ranged from large multi-ensemble events in Belfast's Ulster Hall and various venues in India, to school shows and pub rock gigs across Ireland. The setups are designed in a way that doesn't affect the visuals of the show. This is achieved either using mic splitters so as to minimise the number of microphones on stage and keep the signal for the live sound desk unaffected, or recording straight off digital live desks to ProTools. In addition to the mics used for the instruments on stage, ambience mics are used to capture the sound of the room, the audience and the atmosphere of the event.
- Access to all of Westland Studios' Equipment
- 24 channels of mic splitters
- Preamps: Audient ASP008 with digital option, CLM Dynamics DB8000S with digital option, Mackie Onyx with digital out, Focusrite with digital out. All of these have multiple outs. Aditional preamps by Avalon, Amek, Portico, Toft, Drawmer and others on demand.

Have you ever wanted to play the ultimate game with the power over life and death?
In total disbelief Inspectors Köstner and Groß watch helplessly as thousands of people are drawn in to actively participate in the carefully laid plans of a fanatical kidnapper. With clever manipulation he relentlessly uses the callous sensation hungry media to give normal people the ability to make decisions with fatal repercussions.
As the investigation proceeds the case becomes less and less transparent, the borders between the kidnapper and his victims more and more blurred.
No one is completely innocent it seems and search for the truth becomes a nightmare.

So you've decided. Of all the professions in all the countries in the world, you're going to teach ESL in South Korea. You've made the decision, and now you've just got to figure out the how. How is this going to work? Well, in this very long post, I'm going to detail everything you need to know about going from the decision to teach to how your salary and budgeting is going to work. Often times different sites or companies break up the information in various PDFs or sections, but I'm going to lay out everything I know right here. So if you want something to reference quickly, bookmark this page because here's your ultimate guide to teaching in Korea.
1. Decide what kind of setting you want. There's the classic hagwon vs. public school debate, but here's what you should decide you want before you even begin applying.
- English Program in Korea (EPIK)- This program covers pretty much all of Korea, including Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. However, I'm assuming do to the size of Seoul and Gyeonggi, they broke it down further. I'm personally in EPIK. This program deals totally with the public school system in Korea. Hours are typically 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. with weekends off and normal vacations. You work for the government.
- Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (SMOE)- EPIK for Seoul. The contract is pretty much the same with a few small differences that can often lead to slight pay differences.
- Gyeonggi English Program in Korea (GEPIK)- EPIK for the Gyeonggi Province, which surrounds Seoul. Same as SMOE, similar contract to EPIK but with some smaller changes. I know a friend who just switched from working in Gyeonggi to Jeollabuk because it was a 200,000 won pay difference per month.
- Hagwon- Also known private academies. The hours are typically after school and can go to 9 or 10 at night. It's much more of a business than a school, and it's a very mixed bag of experiences.
- Teach and Learn Korea (TaLK)- With this program, basically half everything outlined in an EPIK contracts (hours, pay, vacation) and add in a few incentives. It's geared more towards people wanting to learn more about Korea as they often have conferences, culture funds, etc. However, it's been cutting back a lot recently, and was supposed to shut down totally this year, but was saved by school cuts.
Keep in mind, you frankly won't know your situation whatsoever in terms of schools, class sizes, quality of the programs until you're actually walking in to your first day.
2. Find a Recruiting Company and Apply. There are an abundance of recruiting companies that cater to Korea, some with better reputations than others. I went with Adventure Teaching because their website is incredibly straightforward, and I really enjoyed working with the recruiters. They're newer than most companies, so you won't find a ton of reviews, but I can't recommend them enough. You could also apply to a Fulbright if you're fresh out of college, but frankly speaking, the only advantage you might get with it is using the name for whatever PhD program you apply to in the future. If you want to go the Fulbright route, I recommend using it to go to less accessible countries.
3. Now Figure Out the Geographical Location. Maybe not so much with Seoul or Gyeonggi-do, but think about whether you're okay with being in a more rural location than in a major city. Keep in mind, when Koreans use rural, you're still going to be able to get around easily and find what you need.
GUIYou're not typically in the middle of farm fields where you have to bargain outside for your fruits and vegetables. But if you listen to any Korean interviewing you, you'd think you have to help milk a cow to get milk, and you definitely don't. You're more likely to get a small city vibe more than anything else. I personally prefer countryside because the air is cleaner, you get paid a little more, and class sizes will be smaller. Plus you get a bit more of a community feel that just can't happen in bigger cities.
4. Apply! With your recruiter's help, apply to various postings for whatever program you choose and qualify for. When I applied as a new teacher with an English major and a TEFL degree, my choices were pretty limited. I could only apply to the Jeonbuk Office of Education. The application included:
- generic information (name, DOB, etc)
- qualifications (degrees, experience, etc)
- essay (why do you want to teach?)
- sample lesson plan (about 1 page and supplemental materials if needed)
1. Documents. Documents. Documents. So with AT, I had to get in a bunch of documents so they could create a profile for me to send to different schools. Mine worked out in that I got the callbacks as my documents got to Korea, so I wound up not needing them as quickly as I did. Documents included:
- Notarized copy of diploma with an apostille
- If you've never gotten something notarized, it's super easy and should only cost maybe $10 or less. Google where a notary might be in your town, and there should be a few that pop up (FedEx usually can). I got mine at a used car shop because that's how random notary publics can be.
- For the apostille, you follow whatever your state follows. I just went to Harrisburg on one of my days off and they had it ready in a few minutes. You can mail yours in, but I was kind of rushing, so I didn't want to have to wait a few weeks when I knew I could do it in an afternoon.
- MAKE SURE: if your diploma isn't in English, you need an official translation in print from your school
- FBI background check with an apostille
- This is a totally different apostille than your diploma. It's federal level, so it'll go through the offices in DC. You can typically go through channelers, but I went in person to the office because I don't live that far, and I could stay with friends and make a small weekend out of it.
- Don't send to the Department of State if you do mail in because it can take so much longer.
- 2 letters of recommendation (preferably from professors)
- Resume
- Photocopy of Passport Information
- E-2 Health Statement (your company should have a PDF of it)
- 4 Official Passport Photos
- Don't wear white to get your photos done because they won't do them… *cough*
2. If Needed, Take a TEFL Course. Okay, you probably shouldn't have waited this long to take an actual TEFL course, and I thinkkk Korea changed to not wanting online TEFL degrees. However, if you've found you can take an online course, and you need or just want a TEFL degree, then be prepared to take a 120 hour TEFL course.
3. Phone Interview. You'll most likely have a phone interview with your province's coordinator as the final step to getting the job. Just be honest, genuine, and earnest. Show your flexibility and your adaptability to new culture and environments. They're basically looking to make sure you're a) not a psychopath and b) you're not going to up and quit 6 months into your contract. Also keep in mind you won't get an official interview time, it'll be a broad time frame. (I told them I was available after 8 p.m., and instead of them setting up a specific time, I got a call from a +82 number while on the treadmill…)
4. Make a Short Video. You're going to have to make a brief video introducing yourself. This way they get a feel of what you look like and how you sound. You'll never be able to find mine because I deleted it right after I came to Korea.
5. MORE DOCUMENTS. Fun times, right? You need more documents. You're going to cringe at the trees you've killed, and cry at the amount of times you'll want to slap your printer, but just know this is the worst of it. You're not only going to need to send in some documents, but you'll probably need two copies of each. You'll send this to Korean immigration, and when they've received it, they'll send the official contract in the mail. And yes, the shipping costs will make you want to tear your hair out. ($60 for paper….)
1. Look up your Korean Consulate. Google your state and the Korean Consulate. The NYC Korean Consulate was insanely confusing to navigate. I did a lot of outside googling to figure out what I needed, and I made a plan to physically go to NYC to hand everything in rather than mail.
2. Gather the Necessary Documents. I know, I know. More paperwork. There's lists everywhere of things you need and don't need, but here's what I brought with me to the consulate.
- my contract (signed, sealed, delivered)
- my notice of appointment (NOA)
- e-2 visa application
- passport sized photo
- consulate checklist (which I didn't need…)
- my passport
- $20 in cash only
*Things I didn't need: a VIN (since my NOA replaced that) or a sealed transcript
*MAKE SURE: Make copies of your NOA and your contract just in case.
3. Tell Your Agency You've Got Your Visa. Two days after I went up to NYC, I had my visa in my hand. Let your agency know so you can start preparing to go.
1. Book Your Flight. If your agency recommends you a place to book your flight with, just don't do it. Use Expedia or Skyscanner and find a flight from your hometown to Incheon. For your sanity, don't use American Airlines or United Economy because that flight is going to be tight and uncomfortable. If you can score Asiana or Korean Air for a reasonable price, go for it.
2. Ask for Your Post-Flight Itinerary. I asked for mine just so I had a general outline of what to expect. Some may differ, but I essentially had to take a bus down to Jeonju and then a taxi from the bus terminal to a guesthouse, and then a taxi to the provincial office the next morning.
3. Packing. I'm not going to tell you how to pack your bag, but you should probably take out half of whatever it is you're thinking about bringing. Usually you'll be allowed two checked bags, a carry-on, and a personal bag. You. Do. Not. Need. More. Than. That. I swear you don't. Korea has a lot of foreign products for not too much more than if you brought them from home. It's not some isolated third world country. Here's what you don't need:
- The majority of your shoes. chances are you're going to be changing into slippers in your school, so you do NOT need fancy flats, riding boots (which are a pain to take on and off quickly), or even heels. I'd bring a good pair of black flats, ankle high snow boots for winter, running sneakers, casual sneakers, and sandals.
- Toiletries. You're going to be fairly close to either a Home Plus, a Lotte Mart, or an E-mart. They have tampons, pads, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoos, conditioners, razors, shaving creams, lotions, and all the Western branded stuff you're used to. Save the space.
- Clothes that will fit after you lose ten pounds. Just don't do that to yourself. Save the space.
- Books. Take those books out. right. now.
I do recommend bringing your own fluoride toothpaste, though. I haven't heard anything great about Korean toothpastes, and I've met a lot of people who have head dental problems after a few months here. When I went home in August, my dentist told me that while my teeth were in good shape, they did have some signs that cavities could be on their way if I wasn't a bit more careful. So I packed a bunch of fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash.
4. Figure out your airport to guesthouse/home situation. My company recommended using a limousine bus from the airport to Jeonju. Which is fine if you're new. If you can, though, get on the metro to either the train station (Yongsan or Seoul Station) or the bus terminal (Express Bus Terminal or Nambu Bus Terminal). It's cheaper and faster. The metro is insanely easy to use even with a bunch of suitcases, and if your Korean is half decent, you'll be fine.
5. Things to do before you go to Korea:
- download the Seoul Subway app and Google Translate app
- learn Hangul. Learn Hangul. LEARN HANGUL.
- seriously, you better be familiar with Hangul.
- learn about the culture. Check out Eat Your Kimchi, Dom and Hyo, and My Korean Husband for different perspectives on living in Korea. So many videos, comics, and posts to help you minimize your culture shock.
1. Adapt this Motto: Just roll with it. Don't try and plan. Don't try and figure out what exactly you're going to be doing, what kind of school(s) you'll have, what will happen when you first get to Korea… It's all so different for every person, you'll tear your hair out trying to figure out what to do. I didn't even know what city I'd be living in until I was in the car with my co-teacher and she asked me why I was teaching in Namwon. I had to ask her what Namwon was…
2. Medical Check-Up: As soon as you meet your co-teacher or within the first few days you'll get a medical check-up. This should go without saying, but don't do drugs, even marijuana. If it shows up, you'll be shipped straight back to the US. And yes you have to pee in a cup, get blood taken, and get chest X-rays. It was a little jarring mixed with jetlag.
3. Alien Registration Card (ARC): After you get your medical check-up results, have your co-teacher take you to get your ARC at the immigration office. While you won't get your card right away, you will get your ARC numbers. You also need passport photos, but you can usually get them done there if you forget.
4. Bank Set-Up: After you get your ARC numbers, get your bank set-up. Your co-teacher 100% should help you with this, and if she/he doesn't, pester them until they do because you need it to get paid. I didn't need my official ARC, just the numbers. If you can, set-up a Citibank account both in Korea and the US. You can transfer your money for free and online very easily, and it'll make your life so much easier.
5. Your Apartment: You have your apartment. Yay! Peruse your contract to make sure you have everything it says you should have (yes, you definitely should have a bed), and then get to work cleaning it and making it feel like home. Buy plants, hang up photos, and more. I bought things off the Arrival Store when I was coming because I wanted it there as soon as I arrived, but if you're G-Market savvy or up to shopping around, you can get everything in town.
6. Phone Plan: Just get a 2-year plan with your co-teacher with one of the KT or SKT shops. You can get a SIM card if your phone is unlocked or get a whole new phone. At the end of your contract you can cancel with a few fees or, hey, you'll have it for your second year! There are other short term options, but I find the 2-year plan is the easiest and the cost differences aren't that much.
7. Your First Day: You probably won't know what's happening on your first day, so definitely make a Powerpoint describing yourself and a worksheet to get to know your kids (i.e. favorites, birthdays, etc)
1. This is it. You're an official teacher! Congratulations, congratulations! Every teacher has a different job experience. Important to Note:
- While elementary school is most likely, it is not a guarantee. You could teach elementary, middle, or high school and not know it until you arrive.
- Curriculum vs. Free Class vs. After School: You also won't know what you'll be teaching until you talk to your co-teacher. It could be a mix, straight curriculum, or all after school/free classes.
- You won't always have a co-teacher with you. In some schools you may be the extra foreign teacher who simply comes in to provide a different experience. In some schools you might be responsible for teaching curriculum and are, in fact, helping unload some of the burden off your co-teacher. For example, in my middle schools, I teach a small speaking section in each chapter with my co-teacher. In my elementary schools, I coordinate with my co-teacher to teach certain sections or whole chapters with the homeroom teacher to ensure discipline. You never know.
2. Lesson Planning: I had no idea what I was doing until the new school year, a few months after I got to Korea. Make sure you have a teacher's version of every book you need to teach, and sit down with your co-teacher to make sure you understand where the kids are at and what you're responsible for.
- Each lesson should be broken up into at least 4 parts, sometimes 7. You can split the chapters with your co-teacher so that you teach even, and s/he teaches odd numbers, or you can coordinate so that you're each teaching in order.
- There are specific vocabulary words and phrases for each chapter, make sure you know what they are.
- Lessons should typically be 20 minutes of book work and 20 minutes of an activity you create to help reinforce the vocabulary. Middle school for me is typically 10 minutes book work and 35 minutes of an activity.
3. Use Resources:
- waygook.org– great for ideas for specific lessons, free lessons, and just expat life in Korea in general
- greatschools.org– great for free worksheets
- mrprintables.com– has cute craft ideas
- naver dictionary– for translating anything into Korean that might need clarification
- boggles world esl– also good for free worksheets
- kahoot!– if your kids have smart phones or tablets, this is a super fun way of reviewing, and they get really into it.
Are you a teacher in Korea? How'd you get here? Any tips for those not from the US?

York University Gets £187,000 to Research Prostate Cancer
8:00am 24th February 2013
Researchers from Yorkshire universities have been given grants totalling £237,000 grant to drive forward the search for answers to key questions surrounding prostate cancer. They have been awarded two of 17 Prostate Cancer UK grants as part of the first wave of funding through the charity's ambitious new research strategy.
As part of its MANifesto Prostate Cancer UK has pledged to find answers to some the most important research challenges facing the disease today. The charity is injecting a colossal £11 million into research this year alone to focus on the key areas of understanding risk, improving diagnosis of the disease and improving treatment options for men living with it.
Dr Iain Frame, Director of Research at Prostate Cancer UK, said: "Due to a long legacy of underfunding and neglect we still know shockingly little about why prostate cancer kills 10,000 men every year. Prostate Cancer UK has vowed to scale up its mission to deliver so much more and so much better for men. By funding ground breaking projects such as these with the UK's top research scientists we hope to be able to find the answers we so desperately need for the future."
"Thanks to the support of the Movember Foundation, Prostate Cancer UK has recently tripled its research spend to up to £25million over the next three years. While this provides a fantastic launch pad, we desperately need more money to crack this disease once and for all. Through our recently launched Sledgehammer Fund we are calling on everyone across the country to get behind men and help us in this mission. Together we can, and will, beat prostate cancer."
Dr Anne Collins, from the YCR Cancer Research Unit at the University of York, has received £187,000 to discover more about why prostate cancer eventually becomes resistant to current treatments. Dr Collins said "'With this generous grant from Prostate Cancer UK we hope to determine whether the cells that cause prostate cancer are identical to those which are responsible for resistance to current therapies. This will help us develop new treatments which directly target these cells so that we can treat the disease more effectively."
Professor Tim Skerry from the School of Medicine, University of Sheffield, has received £50,000 to explore whether affecting the way prostate tumour cells communicate with each other can help stop the spread of the disease. Professor Skerry explains: "We know that communication between cancer cells is essential for prostate tumours to survive and grow. We hope that through exploring how to block these signals, we can eventually lead to the development of treatments which can slow down the growth and spread of the cancer and therefore have dramatic benefits in the prevention of the development of advanced disease."
The grants were awarded via a competitive process, and were subject to detailed assessment from external peer reviewers and the Prostate Cancer UK Research Advisory Committee. All 17 of the projects which are to receive funding were chosen because of their extremely high quality and relevance to men with prostate cancer.

The apex court bench of justices Madan B Lokur and DK Jain has directed counsels of both the states to file documents supporting their respective arguments by today.
"We will read these documents. Both the Advocates-on-Record will sit together," Justice Jain said at yesterday's hearing. He asked CS Vaidyanathan, who was representing Tamil Nadu, to specify the state's "minimum demand" with regard to water for irrigating the samba crop.
The counsel said that if Karnataka does not release 30 tmcft over the next fortnight, the standing crop will wither away. To another query about samba crop being cultivated in winter only, Vaidyanathan replied that the crop has to be harvested this month itself. He stressed that the standing crop needs to be irrigated properly for at least 15 days.
Anil Divan, appearing for Karnataka, submitted that the state's total requirement is 78 tmcft but the storage at present is only "to the extent of 57 tmcft." Karnataka has fully complied with the Cauvery Monitoring Committee's directives, he told the court.
Referring to the tense situation in the delta districts of Tamil Nadu, Vaidyanathan said, "Farmers are resorting to suicides" and urged the bench to do something quickly. "Please decide today or on Monday, but don't send us anywhere," he added.
Justice Jain then said that the bench will hear Tamil Nadu's plea on Dec 3.
Meanwhile, farmers in Tamil Nadu slammed the Karnataka government's "arbitrary decisions" and demanded the Centre's urgent intervention in the matter.
Cauvery Rights and Rescue Group members even burnt an effigy of Jagadish Shettar, Chief Minister of Karnataka, with whom his Tamil Nadu counterpart J Jayalalithaa held discussions two days ago in Bangalore.
The group warned that any further delay in resolving the vexed dispute will lead to more farmer suicides in the delta districts.

This quality should come on top of your recruitment list of guidelines. Does the potential employee possess the relevant skill, education, experience to complete the tasks at hand? While considering competence, credentials are everything. This means the person with more papers and experience is more qualified for the job than someone else with less. (more…)
4 Steps to get started doing business
Step 1: Conducting personal evaluation and industry analysis
First, you should begin by asking yourself some questions. What skills do you already have? What do you really like doing? What is the reason behind your business idea? How much capital do you have for investment? Will you provide a service or product? (more…)
How do I get online presence?
Sign up with social networks
One thing that makes social networks a priority when trying to establish an online presence is actually their social aspect. Through social networks, you can interact with many people on many issues and also get a glimpse of trending topics real time. Begin signing up with the basic and most popular networks such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram before joining the more dedicated ones like Pinterest and LinkedIn.
Create a blog
A blog is an excellent platform to communicate your ideas and your views on issues concerning a particular niche. Popular blogs attract hordes of followers. The more you promote your blog and upload great content, the more popular it becomes hence the more robust your online presence gets.
Join forums
Don't just join forums but be active in them as well. Forums resemble the old school chat rooms but have some sense of direction usually involving a particular specialization or occupation such as web development. Join a forum that reflects your interests and contributions to the discussions.
Create a website and add SEO
Another great way of increasing your online presence especially if you have a brand to promote is establishing a website. But a website doesn't achieve greatness on its own. You need to try out tricks such as SEO to increase its visibility. The more visible it is, the more popular it can get. When your website is being sought after by many people, it means you have an extensive online presence.

I was unfortunately up early this morning, ironing like on any other work day, because I had the unfortunate opportunity of being psychologically arm-wrestled into going for some seminar at a mosque (and one wonders why I can't wait to get married and move out so I could finally pursue my spiritual connection with God at my own pace and out of my own will, rather than feeling obliged to give in to the mother's persuasion). I'm supposed to get a break from the job I am beginning to hate, and I was planning on catching up on sleep and work (what's new?), hence the resentment.
To top this unfortunate day off, while ironing at the enclave in my living room, I had the unfortunate opportunity of listening in on the Malaysian religious show that my father was watching. (Yes, they are that 'fanatic'. If I was a retiree I'd spend mornings taking a walk and enjoying some fresh air rather than cooped up at home watching some religious show. I'd rather enjoy God's creation and reflect independently on life than listen to others dictate how I should live mine.)
Now why was this an unfortunate opportunity? Because the topic was one that never fails to rile me up: how Muslim wives should behave. By a lady speaker, nonetheless, which riles me up even more because she can't seem to see what is wrong with perpetrating such views that frame a woman's worth in terms of her use(fulness) to her husband instead of her own independent being.
For a start, let me list down what she said in her own words, as much as I can remember:
1. Isteri mesti berhias untuk suami… jangan berhias untuk keluar sahaja, tapi di rumah rambut tak bersikat, mulut busuk, pakai baju kelawar..
(Wives must doll themselves up for their husbands… don't do it only when you're going out, but at home your hair is uncombed, your mouth smelly, you wear that long flimsy dress with bat sleeves.)
2. Rumah mesti dihias, jangan kotor macam rumah Yahudi
(Your house must be looked after and decorated, not left dirty like the house of this group of people which I shall not translate because demonising any group is just offensive)
3. Jangan keluar tanpa izin suami… (kalau kena keluar tiap-tiap hari) boleh minta izin untuk setahun sekaligus…
(Don't go out without your husband's permission… (if you have to go out every day) you can ask for permission for a year at one go…)
4. Jangan benarkan orang yang suami tak suka masuk ke rumah… waimah ibu bapa sendiri kerana isteri bila kahwin, suami nombor satu, ibu bapa nombor dua…. bagi suami ibu bapa nombor satu…
(Don't allow anyone that your husband does not like to enter your home, even if it is your own parents, because when you get married, your husband comes first, your parents second… for husbands their parents come first…)
Now why would these messages be objectionable? I shall leave you to exercise your own critical thinking before I explain my objections in the next post.

Dominating estimators for the global minimum variance portfolio
Two shrinkage estimators for the global minimum variance portfolio that dominate the traditional estimator with respect to the out-of-sample variance of the portfolio return are derived. The presented results hold for any number of observations n >= d 2 and number of assets d >= 4. The small-sample properties of the shrinkage estimators and also their large-sample properties for fixed d but n -> infinity as well as n,d -> infinity but n/d -> q

Solomon Bozeman sends Arkansas-Little Rock to NCAA tourney
Eight hours before tipoff of the most important game of his life, Arkansas-Little Rock's Solomon Bozeman admits he was so anxious he had to call his dad for moral support.
"I told him I was nervous because the rap on me is that I don't play well in big-time games," Bozeman said by phone. "My dad told me that I've been a big-time player since I was eight years old and that I just needed to relax."
Bozeman's trademark swagger had returned by the waning seconds of Tuesday's Sun Belt title game against North Texas when Arkansas-Little Rock needed him to rescue his teammates from a potential crushing defeat.
Instead of attempting to get to the rim for a game-tying layup with the Trojans trailing by two points and time running out, Bozeman zoomed up court, nudged his defender ever so slightly to create space and then pulled up behind the 3-point arc. The senior guard's step-back 3-pointer with 1.5 seconds left propelled Arkansas-Little Rock to a 64-63 victory and its first NCAA tournament berth in 21 years.
"I wanted to make history," Bozeman said. "I'm not a guy who likes going for ties. I like going for the win. I'm going to put the team on my back. I think of myself as a big-time player, and big-time players make big-time shots. I did that tonight."
Bozeman's bravado prevented North Texas from making its second straight NCAA tournament appearance and completed a surprising four-day run from Arkansas Little Rock. The fifth-seeded Trojans lost four of five games to end the regular season to fall to 7-9 in Sun Belt play, yet they ousted South Alabama, West Division champion Arkansas State and surging Middle Tennessee State before toppling North Texas.
Fittingly it took a late comeback for Arkansas-Little Rock to even give Bozeman an opportunity to be the hero. D'Andre Williams made a key steal and Matt Mouzy sank an important 3-pointer as the Trojans quickly rallied to get back within a bucket after North Texas had built a seven-point lead with less than two minutes remaining.
It's a storybook ending to Bozeman's circuitous college career that the Sun Belt player of the year knocked down the game-winning shot.
A onetime Ole Miss signee who backed out of his scholarship after Rod Barnes was fired in 2006, Bozeman instead enrolled at South Florida. He showed promise as a freshman but played sparingly as a sophomore, ultimate choosing to transfer back to his native Little Rock after South Florida fired coach Robert McCullum in 2007.
It stung Bozeman that some suggested he left South Florida because he wasn't good enough for the Big East, so he went to work at Arkansas Little Rock to prove critics wrong. He blossomed into a star with the Trojans, leading the team in scoring, assists and steals as a junior and then raising his scoring average to 16.3 points per game as a senior.
"A lot of people thought I left the Big East because I couldn't play at that level, but I knew the whole time I could," Bozeman said. "My dad always told me, 'Whether you stay at South Florida or leave, you need to be sure that's the right decision. You can't look back and have any regrets.' I told him I wanted to leave and it turned out to be a good situation."
Playing in the NCAA tournament has been a dream of Bozeman's, so it was only just sinking in what he'd accomplished Tuesday night about an hour after the final buzzer.
"We're always going to be remembered now," he said. "We wanted to make history, and we did tonight."

LitePoint Corporation, a provider of wireless test-system solutions, launched three new systems for testing four wireless standards at a press conference. The new IQnxnplus system offers true multi-stream signal capabilities for WiFi and WiMAX MIMO development. IQultra – the industry's first Ultra-Wideband (UWB) EVM test system – covers both development and manufacturing testing of UWB devices. And, the new IQnav test system is aimed at high-volume manufacturing testing of the proliferating, embedded, GPS-equipped devices. "From our position of strength in WiFi and WiFi MIMO testing, we are expanding into UWB and GPS markets with uniquely competitive offerings," stated Benny Madsen, LitePoint's chief executive officer.
IQnxnplus – for WiFi/WiMAX MIMO development
LitePoint's new IQnxnplus MIMO R&D test system comes at just the right time in both the WiFi and WiMAX MIMO development cycles to help ODMs and OEMs verify designs and get them into production, and into the market, sooner, and at lower overall cost.
"There simply is no more effective way to test MIMO devices in development than using synchronized, modular, VSA/VSG test systems," stated John Lukez, head of product management at LitePoint. "In the real world, MIMO devices will have multiple radios sending simultaneous signals and receiving simultaneous signals while dealing with natural impairments. A development test system must be capable of recreating that same kind of environment," he explained. "WiMAX Wave 2 devices demand a way to truly test 2×1 devices, and IQnxnplus is designed for doing exactly that."
LitePoint IQnxnplus test systems are a modular approach to MIMO R&D testing. Each module contains its own vector signal analyzer (VSA) and vector signal generator (VSG). A synchronizer subsystem ensures that the modules work in lockstep. One can develop test programs on this system and then easily port them to a single IQmax tester for production testing.
The systems can be configured from a 1×1 (e.g. one module and a synchronizer subsystem) to a 4×4 (e.g. four modules and a synchronizer subsystem). The modules support WiFi and WiMAX frequency ranges of 2.15 to 2.7 GHz, 3.3 to 3.8 GHz, and 4.9 to 6.0 GHz. The included graphical user interfaces (GUIs) – IQsignal for WiFi and IQsignal for WiMAX – provide powerful analysis and display capabilities for single, multi-stream and beam-forming adaptive-antenna functionality testing.
Because the IQnxnplus system shares the same architecture as LitePoint's IQmax manufacturing test system, there is consistency across development and manufacturing test processes and results that simplify and speed up design-problem resolution. In fact, the IQnxnplus modules can also be used for automated manufacturing testing to provide additional test capacity during periods of increased demand.

IQultra – for UWB development and manufacturing testing
The IQultra WiMedia test system features a special-purpose vector signal analyzer (VSA) combined with an attenuator for UWB receive testing. The system can capture and analyze all WiMedia band groups (1 to 6) and time frequency codes (TFCs; 1-10).
"There's no other wireless standard besides UWB that spans over seven GHz of spectrum with signal bandwidths of 528 MHz and maximum power of -41 dBm per MHz," said Lukez. "Testing UWB poses a choice between very expensive instruments, or very long test times, or both. But IQultra, like all of our other wireless test solutions, changes the rules of the testing game. It enables single-signal capture and analysis without posing frequency or signal-bandwidth constraints. This allows you to do quality measurements, like EVM, which is critical to verifying the high data-rate capabilities of UWB," he explained.
"When we first saw LitePoint's WiMedia test system prototype, last December, we were very impressed by its ability to fully verify the capabilities of our latest UWB chip set," said Dr. David Shoemaker, Alereon's Vice President Engineering & Operations. "The resulting IQultra is even more impressive. It is an excellent WiMedia development or production test solution."
The new systems come with LitePoint's IQsignal for WiMedia graphical user interface (GUI) that controls the unit and supports signal analysis. Using IQultra's C++ software application program interface (API), users can quickly and easily create automated test programs.
LitePoint's IQultra WiMedia test system comes in two versions: IQultra-300 for triple band capture and IQultra-100 for single-band capture. Both support from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz, and support MB-OFDM PHY layer specification version 1.2.

IQnav – for manufacturing test of GPS-equipped devices
The GPS market is on a huge, sustained roll. In-vehicle navigation has become ubiquitous in Japan and is being followed closely by North America and European countries, according to RNCOS, a market research firm in Delhi, India.
RNCOS writes that personal navigation devices, in 2007, accounted for 90 percent of the GPS market, but by 2012, the firm believes that GPS-enabled handsets will grab a 78-percent market share. The firm also expects the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and the Shanghai World Expo in 2010 to "trigger an explosion" in China's commercial telematics market. LitePoint's new IQnav system is designed to improve test coverage of GPS devices while simultaneously lowering those test costs.
The multichannel IQnav enables both C/No measurements and location-fix test to be performed in a single connection to the device under test (DUT). This saves time (up to 50 percent) compared to sequential test approaches. Additionally, the IQnav offers synthetic power sweep (SPS) capabilities where up to six C/No measurements are made simultaneously, saving additional time. Finally, the price of a six-channel IQnav compares with that of competitive single-channel testers, thus adding capabilities without affecting acquisition costs.
IQnav is available in 1- and 6-channel models, both supporting L1 GPS frequencies (1575.42 MHz) over a power range of -60 to -145 dBm. The IQnav features specialized trigger capabilities that support testing of assisted GPS (A-GPS), commonly used in CDMA one® and CDMA 2000® handsets.
"By applying GPS IC design techniques to the IQnav, LitePoint has been able to produce a GPS test instrument which allows thorough test coverage while simultaneously reducing test costs. It is another example of LitePoint looking at the entire test process and developing optimal solutions," Lukez added.
For more details, see www.litepoint.com/content/view/237/212
Price and Availability
All of LitePoint's new products will be available worldwide in August 2008.
IQnxnplus systems can be ordered with a choice of configuration from a single module (IQmax-750) to a two-module tester plus synchronizer. All configurations are equipped to test both WiFi and WiMAX devices. Prices for IQnxnplus systems will range from $55,000 for a single IQmax-750 to $129,000 for two IQmax-750s and Multi-Stream MIMO subsystem. Systems can be configured up to a 4×4 test solution.
The price for a triple-band capture IQultra WiMedia test system – IQultra-300 – will be $55,000. The single-band model – IQultra-100 – is price-tagged at $42,300.
The new IQnav six-channel GPS manufacturing test solution has a single-unit price of $12,500; the single-channel version will sell for $9,500.
All of the above prices are for orders and deliveries in the US.

Berlinda Tolbert
Jump to
Although her character on the hit television show "The Jeffersons" wasn't as celebrated as those of George or Louise Jefferson, actress Berlinda Tolbert managed to appear consistently on the show throughout its 11-season run. Tolbert got her acting career started in the early 1970s with one-off appearances on such shows as "That's My Mama," "Sanford and Son," and "The Streets of San Francisco." But it was Jenny Willis Jefferson on "The Jeffersons" that was Tolbert's best-known role. As the girlfriend (and later wife) of the Jeffersons' son, Lionel, Tolbert would appear in a total of 65 episodes of the Emmy Award-winning show over the years. After "The Jeffersons" wrapped up, Tolbert would go on to appear in such hit movies as "Harlem Nights" and "Goodfellas," but mostly in one-off appearances on television shows ("Dream On," "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch," "ER," "Six Feet Under," "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," etc.).

In a world where celebrity relationships are a fast-burning flame—hot for a quick second and then out—Victoria and David Beckham's long-standing marriage is an inspiration to us all. They celebrated their 17-year anniversary yesterday, and to mark it, the golden couple shared the sweetest, most heart-melting messages to one another on Instagram.
David posted his love note first, posting one of their wedding photos with the caption, "Wow 17 years ago to this day this happened… I was lucky to meet someone who has the same drive and wanted the same things in life… We have created 4 beautiful children and I couldn't wish for a more loving and caring mummy for them… Happy anniversary, I love you ❤❤❤❤❤"
If you can handle any more, here is Victoria's post:
"I feel so loved and truly blessed 🙏," she writes. "My best friend, my love. The kindest man who inspires me every day. 💕 Happy Anniversary to the best husband and daddy in the world!! EVER! #HappilyEverAfter @davidbeckham @brooklynbeckham x VB"
If these two aren't the dictionary definition of relationship #goals, we don't know what is. Happy anniversary, lovebirds!
