Everyone experiences back and leg pain at some point during life, and this can be due to a number of reasons. So how can you tell if the pain you're experiencing is sciatic nerve pain? Sciatica symptoms are fairly specific kinds of pain, discomfort and sensations. Keep reading to learn more about how it feels to have sciatic nerve pain.
Common Sciatica Symptoms
The most obvious of sciatica symptoms is a radiating pain on one side of your body that can extend from the lower back all the way down the back of your thigh and even down your entire leg. The following symptoms are the most common ways that this pain can be felt when sciatica is the cause:
- A severe shooting pain in one leg that makes it difficult to stand or walk
- Numbness, prickling, weakness or a "pins and needles" sensation down one leg
- Constant pain in only one leg or on only one side of the buttock
- Pain that feels more sharp and searing, as opposed to a dull ache
- Possible pain or numbness in the toes
- Lower back pain that is less severe than the leg pain
- Numbness or weakness when you move your foot or leg
- Pain that eases when you walk or lie down but worsens when you sit or stand
- Pain that worsens with certain movements like changing positions or going from sitting to standing
- Pain that worsens when you cough or sneeze
To learn more about leg pain, including other possible causes, visit our Knee, Ankle, and Foot Pain page.
Understanding Your Sciatica Symptoms
The way that you experience sciatica pain can also be affected by what is actually causing your sciatica. For example, if spinal stenosis is the underlying cause of your sciatica, you may experience more pain when you walk or bend your body backward. On the other hand, if a lumbar herniated disc is the cause of your sciatica, your symptoms may worsen when you bend your body forward.
Pinched Nerves and Sciatica Pain
Your sciatica pain can also vary depending on where your nerve is being pinched. Two nerves, the L4 and L5 nerves exit your lumbar spine and combine with three nerves, the S1, S2 and S3, that exit your sacral segment to form the sciatic nerve. These nerves branch off again in your leg, so the particular nerve that is being pinched will deliver different signals to certain parts of your body. You may experience any of the following symptoms depending on the nerve that is being compressed:
- L4 nerve root sciatica: When your L4 nerve is being pinched, your thigh is the most affected area. You may experience a decrease in your knee-jerk reflex or weakness when you try to straighten your leg.
- L5 nerve root sciatica: When your L5 nerve is compressed, your symptoms can travel all the way down to your ankle and big toe. Symptoms can include numbness or pain in between the big toe and second toe and along the top of the foot.
- S1 nerve root sciatica: Compression of the S1 nerve primarily affects the outside of your foot and can extend into your toes, particularly the little toe. This can cause weakness when you try to stand on the tips of your toes or when you need to raise your heel off the ground, as well as a reduction in your ankle-jerk reflex.
When to Seek Medical Medical Attention
If you think you're experiencing sciatica pain, it's always wise to consult a medical professional to make sure that it is, in fact, sciatica that's causing your pain and to ensure you don't have to endure discomfort for too long. While most symptoms of sciatica are mild and not life-threatening, there are certain symptoms that warrant immediate medical attention.
- Bilateral sciatica (sciatica pain in both legs, as opposed to only on one side of the body)
- Bowel or bladder dysfunction or incontinence
- Unusual sensations in the genital region
- Fever
- Loss of appetite
- Sciatica pain that gets worse rather than better with time and treatment

Barclaycard pilots real-time delivery of digital receipts
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
Barclaycard is piloting a service to deliver instant digital purchase receipts to customers through a partnership with fintech startup Flux, which launched last year with the aim of eliminating paper receipts.
So far one merchant—U.K. restaurant chain EAT—is participating in the pilot encompassing 10,000 customers who may receive detailed information about their purchases in the Barclaycard mobile app, Flux said in a Monday press release. Flux and Barclaycard are both based in London.
Starling Bank and Monzo Bank are also working with Flux on pilots to provide consumers with digital receipts, according to Flux's release.
Flux integrates its software with merchant terminals, enabling banks to receive detailed purchase information, versus the spare data of the merchant and transaction amount that banks typically receive, according to the release.
Banks have long wanted to gain access to information about consumers' specific purchases—or SKU-level data—for vital marketing and loyalty insights, but the barriers to accomplishing that are high, analysts note.
Typically banks require a direct connection to a merchant's payment terminal to get detailed purchase information, a process that implies a degree of painstaking integration with merchants, said Zil Bareisis, a senior analyst with London-based Celent. Merchants are also reluctant to share this data with banks, he added.
"Merchants like to keep SKU-level close to their chest for their own analytics and loyalty programs," Bareisis said.
It's certainly worth watching, but without other merchants on board, it's too early to gauge the potential success of Barclaycard's pilot with EAT, he said.

"Press harder ma'am. That's it, keep going" The paramedic's voice is calm yet forceful, his presence is large yet not suffocating.
"Fifteen. Sixteen. Seventeen. Eighteen. Nineteen…" There is a strange rhythm to the numbers that I seem to exhale with every exertion. I shut my eyes and push down harder. I cannot look at my hands clasped one on top on another. I cannot look at the shrunken chest, a body ravaged by disease. I cannot look at the body of child that seems to have replaced the once formidable body of an adult man who lies lifeless beneath my hands. I cannot will his body into life; no persuasion through force of my body or strength of my will is enough now. Yet still, I try. The cold feeling that presses down on my chest has grown so big that it fills the room. It fills the room so completely that it leaves no space for reality. Death struggles to find a place next me, I ignore it. I ignore the whisper in my ear, the gentle nudging at the edge of reason. He will live, the paramedics will save him. When the paramedic asks me to step aside so that he can take over, the pull of his words are not enough to overcome the sinking force pulling me towards the cold tiles biting into my knees. For a moment I cannot move. There is a tremor beneath my amour and a moment of startling clarity before I rise and start to walk away. I walk away as strangers in my home shut the door, I walk away from the fiction of having some control over the situation. I walk away from death in one room to towards the mess it leaves behind in the shape of a crying woman who must now say goodbye to her husband in another. I walk towards the sound of fear, the sound of loss, the sound of pleading. And it is that pleading- for me to make this better, for me to say it isn't true- that plays a warped, broken tune in my mind and wounds far deeper than when the paramedic announces with finality and sadness that there was nothing they could do.
It is a day later and my forearm hurts. My body feels like I've been through a physical trauma and every time I close my eyes, I see his face. The glassy eyes, the slack jaw haunt me in a way I want to be rid of, but I do not mind the physical pain. I need it somehow. I need it to remind me of my futility, of my impotence against death. I need it to remind me of my smallness in a vast and confusing world. I need it because the world has not changed to match my grief. The birds have not stopped singing to match the guilt clutching at my throat. The sun still rose in an affront to cold, clawing emptiness in my chest, to words I could not say and to the tears I could not stop.
I was not prepared for his death, but who amongst us is ever prepared for death? I think of the frailty of his body, how his skin hung loosely off his bones, I think of how he always smelt sick, an uncomfortable mixture of medication and something else and I wonder if death had been following him for a while now. I wonder how it was that I did not see it's shadow in my home. I wonder how I didn't feel it's presence in the last happy memory I have of us all together. Perhaps that is death's trick, to be your constant companion so that the obviousness of it's very presence evades you. You forget death, and in its place, you create a certainty beyond your control. You forget the frailty of your existence, you forget your mortality. And maybe that is what it means to live, to forget our smallness, our inability to control our ultimate ends and to exist as impotent gods.

Manchester United don continue with their okro soup chronicles as usual as dem wakka enter St. Mary's Stadium to draw 0-0 against Southampton. We know say their excuse go be say their mind dey Europa League final, but the koko be say you no fit use bend down select players achieve greatness.. Na why we don balance yansh wella for sixth position.
We wan sharply talk about the five things wey we observe for the United match against the Saints:
The first thing wey we observe na say Manchester United no sabi play good football. Upon say nothing dey at stake again, the team no fit give their fans quality attacking football because e no dey their body. Counter na Zero, Fast-attack na zero. The only thing wey dem fit do na to create chance once in a blue moon. This team without Zlatan and Pogba, na below average.
The second thing wey we observe na say Sergio Romero don make serious statement, say e dey ready to start against Ajax in the Europa League final. The number of mad saves wey e make last night against Saints yakpa. E sure me say na him win Man of the Match. The guy even save penarity wey Eric Bailly cause.
Another thing wey we observe na say Maroune Fellaini and Juan Mata don woundjure. Na why Jose Mourinho commot them. Rashford bin enter for Mata, while Herrera enter for Fellaini. We dey hear say Mata own na knock, and Fellaini own na hamstring but we never sure yet. Before dem woundjure, dem no play anything sha. Juan Mata self never impress me since the time wey e come back from injury, na below average e just dey play. Fellaini na still Fellaini, E sabi win tackles and headers but e no dey creative if ball dey hin leg.
Another thing wey we observe na say Manchester United bin suffer from lack of quality from Eric Bailly (Right-back) and Matteo Darmian (Left-Back). Everybody don sabi Darmian own, say the guy sabi defend but attack-wise na zero. The guy no fit push attack to save hin life and as e no sabi run, e no dey do pass himself. Eric Bailly on the other hand, go run, do agidi like say e wan do better pull out… But as right-back no be hin natural position, na yama yama crosses (pull out) wey e just dey make, or sometimes ball wey e suppose cross, e go pass back.
The last thing wey we observe na say Jose Mourinho dey get serious headache ontop who e go use for United's defence to partner Daley Blind in the Europa League final against Ajax. The decision na between Phil Jones and Chris Smalling. Dem two na calamity but we dey reason say e go pick Phil Jones because Ajax get fast attackers.

Prior the first international match at the Dharamshala cricket stadium, a controversy has erupted over providing security for the fifth and final ODI between India and England on Jan 27, 2013. Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) officials said that the state police has asked match host to foot the Rs.70 lakh bill for providing security during the match.
HPCA press secretary Mohit Sood confirmed it and said that HPCA has received a letter from the state government asking for Rs.70 lakh. He said that the HPCA has been taking up the issue with the authorities concerned and hoping to sort it out in time. However, Sood condemned the move of state Govt and said
It`s a proud moment for the state to host such a big event. We request the government to provide security and other logistics support to the HPCA for the success of the match, which will bring this hill state on the world map and boost its economy
HPCA is headed by BJP leader and Lok Sabha member from Hamirpur parliamentary and BJP people are looking some political tangle in it and openly saying it as politically motivated. However, local legislator and Town and Country Planning Minister Sudhir Sharma ruled out any political motivation behind it and said that the HPCA is a private body and it has a budget to foot its security bills. He said that HPCA should pay the charges for security which will be used for the development purposes only.
It is not first time when HPCA was questioned for the security fee, even during the IPL matches, controversy was irrupted when information accessed through RTI by Dev Ashish Bhattacharya, showed that state Govt had to bear the security fee to the tune of Rs.2.36 crore for providing security for the five IPL matches held in Dharamsala during the first two IPL seasons in 2010 and 2011. Then opposition Congress had criticised it and asked Dhumal led Govt to incur the security bill from organisers, while Dhumal claimed that such events are good for the state tourism sector as it attracts thousands of tourists to the state.
However, amidst the security bill controversy, the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association is leaving no stone unturned to host this match. Even HPCA president Anurag Thakur hoping to make Dharamshala as permanent fixture for future international matches and looking to seal the opportunity for the coming time. He said that HPCA 21,600-seating capacity picturesque stadium is all geared up to make it successful and working overtime to get the stadium ready for the match.
Picturesque HPCA Dharamshala stadium, which is surrounded by mighty snow-clad Dhauladhar Ranges, has world-class indoor stadium comprising video analysis facilities for both bowlers and players, world-class multi-gym, a club lounge, restaurant, bar and banquet hall. HPCA venue is also the first in India to use winter rye grass scattered around the outfield, which prevents the grass from dying when temperatures fall below 10 degrees Celsius.
With the other world class facilities, HPCA has built the Pavilion residential complex, which comprised 32 huts made of imported wood and 38 concrete rooms, which will be used for players and other supporting staff.
For this match, hoteliers are also expecting a huge rush as it had received during the IPL matches and to welcome them, the town has 56 registered hotels and guest houses and its nearby McLeodganj, eight kilometres from Dharamsala, has around 91 registered hotels, whereas there are many hotels and guest houses at Naddi, Palampur and other small city surround it.

Shipping & Transport Netherlands
Civil law perspective
Public law perspective
Digital platforms which connect logistics service providers with their customers have become commonplace. A relevant question from a legal perspective is whether such a platform acts as a carrier or freight forwarder. The answer to this question will affect a platform's civil and public law exposure. As such, platforms should consider their legal position carefully.
For some years, internet platforms such as Teleroute and TimoCom have connected road hauliers with shippers. Today, a wide range of digital logistics platforms are used (eg, Quicargo, Synple, Twill and Cogoport). Some of these also offer platforms via a mobile app. For example, Uber recently reported that it will launch the digital platform Uber Freight in the Netherlands, having first launched it in the United States in 2017.
Digital platforms connect suppliers of logistics services (eg, carriers, freight forwarders, shipbrokers and non-vessel-operating common carriers) with business customers (eg, sellers or buyers of goods) and other carriers and freight forwarders. Via such platforms, customers can book transportation and related services such as:
It is relevant to consider the legal position of such platforms and establish whether they act as freight forwarders or carriers. This may have consequences from both a civil and public law perspective.
Many mandatory provisions of international conventions and national laws apply to the carriage of goods. For example, carriers generally cannot exclude their contractual liability for damage to goods sustained during carriage. Platforms do not usually present themselves as carriers and the likelihood of them being regarded as such from a legal perspective is slim. Platforms will not normally accept an obligation to carry goods from A to B. Most frequently, they will simply enable carriers and customers to conclude contracts of carriage with each other, without the platform itself being a party to such contracts.
However, platforms often act as freight forwarders. Pursuant to Dutch law, a freight forwarder concludes a contract of carriage with a carrier on behalf of its principal. Whether the platform is a freight forwarder will depend on its business model. If the platform serves both the customer and the logistics service provider, and only connects them, its activities will more closely align with the concept of 'intermediary services' within the meaning of Article 7:425 of the Civil Code. The platform then serves two clients (ie, the customer and the logistics service provider). Dutch law permits this if there are no conflicting interests.
Platforms which contract as freight forwarders or intermediaries may not be mandatorily liable for damages incurred during carriage. However, they may be liable if they fail to perform their obligations under a freight forwarding or intermediary contract – for example, if they connect a customer with a non-existent, fraudulent haulier. This civil law exposure can be minimised contractually.
Platforms should also consider their position from a public law perspective. In some European countries, companies acting as carriers or freight forwarders need a licence or permit to perform their services. However, this is generally not the case in the Netherlands.
Notably, the European Court of Justice recently held that Uber is not only a digital platform which offers intermediation services, but also a platform which offers 'services in the field of transport', as set out in the EU Internal Market Services Directive (2006/123/EC). In making its decision, the court took into account the fact that, without the Uber app, non-professional drivers would not have provided transport services and users would not have used the services provided by those drivers. It remains to be seen how the Dutch courts will give effect to this decision from time to time.
Digital logistics platforms should carefully consider their legal position and, consequently, their civil and public law exposure. A relevant question in this regard is whether the platform itself acts as a carrier or freight forwarder.
Platforms should communicate their legal position clearly in their terms of use. If the legal picture is clear, platforms will be able to determine their exposure and minimise it contractually. Seeking advice on bespoke insurance cover is also essential.
From a public law perspective, it is possible that platforms may be deemed to provide services in the field of transport. In that event, a licence or permit may be required. Platforms that operate in the Netherlands should seek legal advice from a local lawyer in order to minimise the legal risks.

I'm sure it hasn't escaped your notice that Anna Kendrick is opting for more sultry looks these days, and that form continued into the 2018 Teen Choice Awards on Sunday (August 12) in Inglewood, California.
On this occasion she wore a bubblegum pink and silver number from David Koma's Resort 2019 collection.
I love how this look added a fresh dose of colour to this red carpet, when so many were opting for autumnal looks.
The slinky fit contributes to a sassy profile, while asymmetric panel detailing finishes the look on a modern note.
Giuseppe Zanotti silver 'Kaley' embellished pumps and super sleek tresses completed her look.

Islamic Books For New Muslims
|This Islamic guide is for non-Muslims who would like to understand Islam, Muslims (Moslems), and the Holy Quran (Koran). It is rich in information, references, bibliography, and illustrations. It has been reviewed and edited by many professors and well-educated people. It is brief and simple to read, yet contains much scientific knowledge. It contains the whole book, A Brief Illustrated Guide to Understanding Islam, and more. you may wish to view in HTML format by visiting http://www.islam-guide.com
|We live in a world where millions doubt the existence of God: a world of science and technologyin which people only accept what they can prove, see, measure, weigh or touch.Understandably, abstract concepts are accepted with caution. Belief in the existence ofGod is, therefore, treated with suspicion, disdain and often with amusement…
This Book proofs the existence of Allah (SWT)
|Most Common Questions asked by Non-Muslims
This book is written by Dr.Abdul Karim Zakir Naik
|This small book called as (Holy Ramadan Guide) is written by Akramulla Syed. He discusses the importance and benefits of fasting.
|Holy Prophet Muhammad(pbuh)did not speak or advocate the cause of some particular race or ethnic group, but stood up for all humanity irrespective of race, color, class, language or geographical barriers. The Message he preached was universal, transgressing all obstacles whether artificial or otherwise. AMessage so complete and comprehensive that it not only revolutionized the era in which it was proclaimed,but even today its timeless beauty has lost none of the original charm and continues its profoundappeal to the human intellect.
|By: Shaykh Abdullah Azzam
This book was written by Shaykh Abdullah Azzam during the Afghan-Soviet Jihad in the 1980's. It deals specifically with first hand accounts of the miracles that occured during this Jihad. Shaykh Abdullah Azzam writes, These incidents which are going to be narrated are, in reality, more extraordinary than one can possibly imagine, and appear to resemble fairytales. I have personally heard them with my own ears; and have written them with my own hands from those Mujaahideen who themselves were present. I have heard these miracles from such men who are trustworthy and reliable, and who have been constantly on the battlefield. The miracles are many, so much so that they more or less reach the degree of Tawaatur i.e. such a large number that does not entertain the possibility of fabrication. I have heard numerous such miraculous episodes, but brevity does not allow me to enumerate all of them.

Brighten Up Your Customers' Days with Lit Channel Letters
In past articles, we have described the various benefits you and your customers receive from channel letters. However, simply having channel letters, while great on its own does not help you reach your full sales potential. Even better than installing normal channel letters is installing channel letters that light up with LEDs. Not only is this cost-effective but it also guarantees that you can advertise and market your business to your local community, even after you close your shop for the night.
Here are the top two reasons why LED lit letters are a great addition to channel letters, and why you should install some before the summer, when parties last until the early morning and a guaranteed customer base travels past your store while the stars are still out.
LED Letters Outshine Your Competition
Not many business owners purchase lit letters for their signage. Even fewer leave them on throughout the night since they believe that, since the store is closed until the morning, it is a waste of money to advertise while most people are sleeping. If you purchase channel letters with LED letters however, you can take advantage of this perception and literally outshine your competition.
While most people are sleeping during the night, not everyone is. Some people like to take midnight jogs or walks. Others have midnight shifts driving public transportation or like to work overtime at the office when it is quietest outside and the atmosphere is more tranquil. Others still are travelling to and from bars, restaurants, and pubs with their family and friends.
Every single person who walks by your small business and sees your lit-up LED channel letters is a potential customer come the morning. If they are interested in visiting your shop they will take note of that and return when you are open for their business.
With LED lit channel letters, you will stand out from your competition who usually have neither LED letters or even any channel letters at all. While they have signage, if it cannot be seen, it is like it never existed.
Bad Weather Is No Match For LED Letters
LED letters can shine brightly through typical bad weather that obscures your customers' vision, like fog or heavy rains. Again, as in the previous section, the main advantage and the reason why you should purchase and install lit LED letters on your storefront exterior is for customers and visitor to see it as they walk or drive past your store. If you have a regular sign like most of your competition, it will fail you once the weather reduces visibility.
You need an advertising solution that works for you year-round, not just when the weather is perfect.
If being seen by customers is important to you, or you want to take full advantage of your LED lit letters, consider purchasing some channel letters for your store today. It may be one of the wisest investments you ever put into your business, due to the benefits it will bring your store and your revenue potential.
Every investment has a different rate of return, which you can compare to determine which are more profitable than others. However, few investments often deliver for as long as channel LED letters do. Consider purchasing some lit letters today and take advantage of an amazing opportunity to grow your bottom line.
If you own and operate a small business in Toronto, Vaughan, Markham and Mississauga and are interested in purchasing, designing or installing channel letters, lit letters, or led letters to help advertise your business 24/7, 365, consider contacting Vital Signs today. For more information about channel letters, or to place an order, visit our website.

In the previous tutorial I gave you a guide to getting textures on to your prims. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to change the appearance of the applied textures.
Let's start with the simplest, but most frequently-used options — the Repeat options. These allow you to set how many times the texture will repeat across each face (or the selected face) of the prim.
Here are two boxes with the same texture, the first one with both repeats set to 1, and the second to 3 each. The most common use for this is where you have a simple, small texture which you want to use to cover a large area.
What happens when you resize the prim that the texture is on? The answer depends on whether you have the 'stretch textures' box ticked or not. If you tick this box, and then resize the prim, this is the result:
If the 'stretch textures' box is unticked, you get the following:
This might seem a surprising result. It is because textures are centered on the prim face, rather than being anchored to the top-left. However, this leads very neatly on to the next feature — Offset.
The texture offset fields are near the bottom of the build dialog. The offset amount is a fraction of the size of the texture, so an offset of 1.00 will have not effect — the texture is moved by it's complete width or height.
Because textures are centered on prim faces, offsets should be thought of as offsets from the middle. In our example above, we want to shift the texture by half it's height, to align it to the top of the prim, like so:
There is another way of setting the repeat for textures, which works in a slightly different way, and can sometimes be very useful. This is the 'repeats per meter' setting.
To show the effect, let's have an example:
This archway looks fine from the front, but the texture on the sides is wrong. This is because the texture is set to repeat 1 x 1 horizontally and vertically. The sides of the arch are narrower, so the texture gets 'squashed'. Now, it would be possible to fix this by changing the repeats on the side (by selecting the side texture only — see the previous tutorial to find out about 'select texture').
However, there is an easier way, using 'repeats per meter'. Setting this to 1.0 (in this case), and then clicking the 'Apply' button will size the texture so that it repeats every 1.0 meters. Because the prim in this case is 1m x 0.5m, the front and back will remain unchanged, but the texture on the sides will now display correctly:
Ok, I think that will do for this tutorial. Happy texturing!

Talent Acquisition Strategy & Sourcing
Recruitment is possibly the most important business process in any businesses. Without the right people matched to the right jobs, productivity can never reach its full potential.
Placing a "bad apple" into a successful team is every leader's nightmare. In our experience, the best candidates are rarely actively looking for a job. They are loyal, professional and focused on their work. In short, they are not active on jobsites and social media for jobs.
The marketplace for the best talent is now fierce, especially in Asia. New talent is not emerging fast enough and, with the current growth trajectory globally, recruitment has become one of the toughest business process to crack. Luckily the Motivo Recruitment Team is here to help.
Talent Acquisition Strategy
We can help you to develop a detailed and robust talent acquisition strategy for your organization including:
- Employer branding
- Pay benchmarking
- Job descriptions
- Multichannel candidate sourcing processes
- Screening, scoring and candidate assessment design
Headhunting & Sourcing
We are experienced at headhunting and sourcing talent for a range of sectors including hospitality, healthcare, retail, IT for mutiple business functions including CXO, marketing and Human Resources.
At Motivo Recruitment we work tirelessly to find the best talent. We meet, screen and test candidates continuously so that when we get your call, we can move at high speed to fulfil your need. Need skilled and experienced candidates? Contact us now.
Why use Motivo Recruitment?
Low Cost | The cost of recruitment isn't limited to your ad on Jobstreet. The hourly cost of sitting through hundreds of CV's for your HR team adds up quickly and there is NO guarantee that you will find your candidate from an ad. More than that, the cost of not having the best candidate for the job will hit your business for months if not years of lost income….or worse. With an ad on Jobstreet you only get the candidates looking at that moment, not the winners. Can you afford the second best candidate?
Low Risk | There is NO cost to receive CV's from us. We also offer a unique money back guarantee if our candidate fails probation or leaves in the 1st 3 months. No questions asked.
Low Cash Flow Impact | So, cash flow is every businesses #1 concern. We get that. We therefore offer payments in 2 easy installments.
The Motivo Candidate
Our candidates are special people. So what makes a Motivo Candidate stand out:
Professional | problem solving skills, the ability to sell themselves and their ideas, the ability to work under pressure and an unfaltering positive attitude.
Educated | We look for candidates with an educational pedigree not only in terms of university or schooling but in terms of continuous professional development.
Loyal | Our candidates are loyal and we won't submit candidates who move every 6 to 12 months. You won't find our winning candidates through advertising or social media.
Winner | We try to pick winners. People who will actively grow your business, not people who will sit back passively whilst the business operates around them.

At the first impression was good with Russell and also my new boss. I am very grateful because they give me the opportunity and I have since been promoted. She is one of the best managers that I've had. Anyway, Motivo has the best Recruitment Consultants as they knew what both the employee and the company needed. I will recommend anyone looking for staff or a new job to contact Motivo. I am confident that they will exceed their expectation. Thanks a lot Motivo for your help.
PK, August 2015
Candidate Testimonial
Motivo contacted me about a Villa Manager job with one of their clients. We spoke for a long time at the Motivo office and they arranged the interview with the owner of the management company. I was offered the job and, of course, I accepted starting in July 2015. It's been a great move for me and I feel like a valued part of a family. I can't thank Motivo enough!

Phyllis Hyman delivered the Best Years of Her Life in Song
Phyllis Linda Hyman, better known as Phyllis Hyman, is one of my favorite singers from back in the day. Her silky and Jazz-infused voice was something captivating whenever I heard hits like "You Know How to Love Me," "The Answer is You," or "Magic Mona." I tried to emulate her in every way that I could and failed miserably-time after time.
Philadelphia's very own, Ms. Hyman was born on July 6, 1949, the eldest of seven, began her musical journey in the 70s. The influential producer, Norman Connors spotted her in New York City and this is when her professional singing career took flight. I can remember the album she featured on and the cover as if it was a brand new picture in time. The "You Are My Starship" album (1976) included her unforgettable version of "Betcha By Golly Wow," which was also a hit for The Stylistics in the early 1970s. Ms. Hyman was signed to Arista Records in the late 70s where she recorded her premiere album, "Somewhere In My Lifetime" which was released in 1978. The following year, the James Mtume/Reggie Lucas duo -produced the "You Know How To Love Me" album, and the single became one of her biggest dance anthems.
Ms. Hyman was a very talented individual in her own right. She co-starred with Gregory Hines in the hit Broadway tribute to Duke Ellington "Sophisticated Ladies", School Daze (1988), Too Scared to Scream (1984) and a co-starring role with Fred Williamson in the action drama The Kill Reflex (1989). During that time, Phyllis released her next album, "Can't We Fall In Love Again" (1981) with the title track a duet with Michael Henderson.
Phyllis, Is this where it all began?
After many unsuccessful recordings. she didn't record for four years due to contractual discrepancies with Arista. This kept her legally bound to the Clive Davis-owned company hindering her to signing with another company. It is fair to say that this could have been the moment when her depression cycle began.
Around the mid-time of 1985, she had been released from her former label and she recorded the classic "Living All Alone" album for the 'Philadelphia International' record label. The first single, "Old Friend", brought her back to the forefront of the industry with saturated radio play, international concert bookings, talk-show appearances, and countless magazine articles.
In 1992, Phyllis Hyman was voted Number One Best Female Vocalist in the United Kingdom by Blues & Soul magazine readers, beating out the likes of Anita Baker, along with the late greats – Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin. During this time, Phyllis became involved in combating the AIDS crisis by lending her voice to countless benefit shows and visiting wards and hospices in and around New York. The visits took a heavier toll on Phyllis than she realized. By now, her own personal problems were becoming evident. An ongoing battle with alcohol and weight gain, combined with career and financial woes, were making life difficult for her and those around her. In 1993, she was dealt another blow, when both her mother and grandmother died within a month of one another.
Around May of 1995, I had the pleasure of hearing her sing at the Arie Crown Theatre. She was on a Jazz tour with Norman Connors, Jean Carn, and other Jazz greats. Her barefoot performance was filled with big earrings, sadness, and great songs. She cried so much while performing her songs and gave us a heartfelt story before she exited the stage. Even though, Jean Carn soothed us with "Don't Let it Go to Your Head," I knew something was wrong with one of my favorite singers and I wasn't the only one.
On June 30, 1995, I was heartbroken to hear via Chicago radio that only hours before a scheduled performance at the Apollo Theater in New York, Phyllis' lifeless body was found in her apartment. She had taken an overdose of sleeping pills and left a suicide note. This news stunned the entire world and left people wondering why would a talented person take their life. I, too, wondered the same thing about the situation and tried to come up with my own reasoning. None of us will ever know why Ms. Hyman chose to end her life but I will continue her legacy on by listening to her timeless music.
In closing, I want to say, If you know someone that has a mental health issue or has the characteristics, give them a listening ear or a hug. There may be another 'Phyllis Hyman' out there, who may be having a problem with living all alone. You may be that old friend that can breathe life into them once again.

South Lake Tahoe, CA (July 19, 2013) – SLTPD Officers arrested a 33-year-old Mountain View, California resident for indecent exposure at the free Summer Series Concert at Lakeview Commons yesterday evening. Two officers were already present at Lakeview Commons when several people contacted them for help. People in the crowd directed the officers to Ajit Madiah. Witnesses explained that Madiah was angry and challenging a man to fight and had exposed his genitals to the crowd while screaming angrily. Officers first contacted the man Madiah was challenging to fight. This man was Mike MacKenzie, a 58-year-old school teacher visiting Lakeview Commons with his wife and children from Merced, California. MacKenzie indicated that he was watching the concert and enjoying his night taking photos of the lake, sunset and concert. MacKenzie stated that for unknown reasons Madiah confronted him about taking pictures of the sunset, started calling him names, screaming profanities and displaying an aggressive, agitated and confrontational demeanor.
MacKenzie walked away from Madiah, trying to avoid him and to avert the potential of having any problems with him. Madiah followed MacKenzie and approached him a second time in a different area. Madiah again confronted him in an aggressive manner, and took a fighting posture toward him. MacKenzie stated he tried to reason and talk to Madiah. The attempt was futile. Madiah is then alleged to have dropped his pants, exposed his genitals to him and the community, which consisted of approximately 10 to 15 adults and children, while screaming profanities. Several other upset witnesses corroborated the same account and desired to make a private persons arrest. Officers accepted their citizen's arrest and booked Madiah into the custody of the El Dorado County jail in South Lake Tahoe for misdemeanor indecent exposure. His bail is set at $1,500.
Officers had previous contact with Madiah just last week (7/11/2013) at the concert at Lakeview Commons. At that time, officers warned Madiah for a similar disturbance, because he was trying to pick a fight with several patrons at the concert. At that time officers directed Madiah to leave the area or be arrested for a public disturbance. He left the area at that time without causing any further problems.

So you've got a bad credit score and you have no idea why. Everything seems to be going well on the surface and you should get your hands on that loan you need, so why is your credit score an obstacle? Read on to find out.
Understanding your Credit Score.
Source : creditserviceco.com
Before we get into details, we must first answer the question. What exactly is a Credit Score or a CIBIL score?
CIBIL stands for Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited.
A Credit Score or the CIBIL Score is a numeric summary consisting of a three-digit code of your credit history. With the help of credit history in CIR the score is located. But then, what is CIR?
An individual's payment history across loans and credit institutions over a period of time is termed to be CIR. Let us rephrase it in simpler terms to give you a better idea. The details such as savings, investments or fixed deposits are not contained in a CIR. What it does contain is, detailed information on the credit you have availed, such as home loan, automobile loan, credit card, personal loan, overdraft facilities. Simple enough, right!
The credit score normally ranges from 300 to 900. A score above 700 is generally considered pretty good.
How will you find out your CIBIL score?
Source : blog.credifiable.com
You can find it online by following a fairly simple procedure. Fill up an online request form available on CIBIL's website and you're good to go. Just a few minutes of your time and a nominal amount of fee is what it'll take!
A word of advice before you proceed.
Always obtain your credit report and score personally than through a bank/financial institution. Enquiries from banks and other lenders can negatively affect your score. We don't want that happening for you! So yes, please spend some time and do it on your own.
Why is your CIBIL score even important?
Source : creditscorebasicsblog.com
Now that we have discussed quite a lot about CIBIL scores and finding out the scores, the main question on your mind is, why should you even bother spending time and money on finding out this score? What good is it going to bring you?
Well, lots. Let us state why it is important to know your CIBIL score.
CIBIL is a major parameter in loan application and approval processes. Without a fitting CIBIL score, you may not be eligible for loans. And that is not a position you want to be in!
Whenever you submit a loan application, the bank will look at your CIBIL score and credit report. Needless to say, if you have a low score and a bad credit history, the chances of your application getting approved are low.
So higher the CIBIL score, higher the chances of approval. And this is why you should pay attention to your CIBIL score.
I got my score. I'm not satisfied. How to Improve Credit Score?
- Current position.
Source : images03.military.com
Know exactly where you stand and set a target on how much you want to improve. We suggest you to take your score above 700, that's going to get your loan application accepted. Although 700 is good, the closer you get to 900, better it is for you.
- Pay your outstanding loans.
Source : startcredits.com
This is a no brainer, right? Timely payment of outstanding loans will reflect well on your image as a responsible applicant. Your credit worthiness is enhanced and so is your CIBIL score. So make timely payments and improve your credit score! Also, make full payments. Part payments are considered an overdue and will not be much appreciated by your bank. Full payments will earn you brownie points!
- Use your credit card wisely.
Source : static-news.moneycontrol.com
Do a thorough cleaning of your credit card. By this we mean, using the credit card in such a manner that you clear off the credit before the due date arrives. Clear any outstanding dues that you may have, it won't reflect positively on your score. And keep only one, or a maximum of two credit cards in possession. Such credit card discipline will reflect positively on your CIBIL score.
- Get inaccurate entries in your CIBIL score rectified.
Source : myrentalhistoryreport.com
If you find out any incorrect entries in your credit report, you must appeal against them on the CIBIL website and get them corrected. These entries can affect your score adversely, so it is very important to get them rectified in time.
- Pay your EMI's regularly.
Source : cloudfront.net
Prompt payment of equated monthly installments of your past bigger loans on time will help in improving your track record to pay bigger amounts and thereby getting a higher CIBIL score/rating. If it comes to the notice of your banker that you are not very regular in your EMI payments, it is but obvious that your loan application stands a good chance of getting rejected. So pay your EMI's regularly!

Bought this as my first AR-15. The price was right and didn't want to invest $1k+ in a rifle i wouldn't like. Now that I have it, I like it and want to put some upgrades into it (magpul stock, rail system, ect.). Since it is a carbon lower I'm guessing if i want to do anything with that i'd have to get a new lower for it. Will my existing upper fit on a new lower or would I have to pretty much get an upper as well? I'm new to the AR and may as well be an idiot when it comes to upgrading anything on it. How much of a pain is it to change out the stock and handguard? I'll most likely get a second AR in the future but i figure since i have this one now, why not trick it out a bit... Any help is appreciated.

What Aesthetic Practitioners AREN'T Telling You
At Amanda Pierce Aesthetics, we see new clients every day and many of those clients have had aesthetic treatments done elsewhere before they visit us.
9 out of 10 of those clients always say the same thing during the consultation..
'I've never been told that before.'
From the first ever consultation Amanda did over 10 years ago, we have always prided ourselves on our informative and in-depth consultations.
We have always recognised the importance of explaining everything in detail to each client. From how the treatment works to how our muscles work to realistic expectations.
But it's becoming increasingly clear to us that we may be in the minority here.
More and more clients are coming through our doors who have had a Botox treatment, for example, yet it's never been explained to them how Botox actually works or what the treatment involves.
Many clients haven't been informed about the possible side effects of treatments and what to expect, leaving them concerned if they do experience a side effect and unsure what to do.
Unfortunately, it seems to be quite common place for clients to go along for a treatment and be quickly rushed onto the couch without any explanation whatsoever. Before they've even had a chance to ask any questions, the needle is in and the job is done.
That's not how we do things.
It is very important to us that all of our clients make a fully informed decision about a treatment before they go ahead. You need to be informed about exactly how the treatment works, how we perform the treatment, any possible side effects and risks, what results you can expect, any aftercare information and much more.
As a medical aesthetic clinic we have a duty of care to our clients. And that includes ensuring that all of our clients are clued up before they agree to anything.
We can't expect you to make a fully informed decision, if we don't inform you of anything!
There will be no bums on our couches until you are 100% happy to go ahead and had the chance to ask any questions you like- no questions are off limits!
In the medical aesthetic industry, we are constantly shouting from the rooftops about how important it is that people recognise these treatments are medical and should be treated as such.
Yet it seems some practitioners are treating it as a casual beauty treatment in order to bash as many treatments out as quickly as possible.
And this isn't just limited to practitioners who aren't medically trained. Plenty of our clients who have complained of not being informed by their previous provider had been to a doctor, dentist or a nurse.
If you've had a treatment before, were you informed? Did you know what the treatment involved before you were rushed onto the bed? Did you know what the possible side effects were? The anatomy of your face and what effect the treatment has on this?
If the answer is no, it may be time to have a look into someone new.
Find a practitioner who is passionate about the treatments and care they provide. Not someone who is trying to break the world record for how many treatments they can get done in 60 seconds.
If you'd like to come along for a consultation, you can book online! All of our consultations are free of charge (with no strings attached!).

Alone—this is the situation in which US President Donald Trump finds himself on Sunday, in every respect: he is alone politically, ideologically, internationally, and physically.
It is true; Trump still has Fox News and enthusiastic social media fans from small towns in the US and around Israel. But they are too far way, in spirit and body, from Washington.
The generals he was so proud of two years ago—Flynn, McMaster, Kelly, and now Jim Mattis—are all out, and his confidants Michael Cohen and Paul Manafort are headed to jail.
Trump's closest ministers and advisors, those who supported him from day one, like Jeff Sessions and Steve Bannon, wouldn't dare show their faces at the White House. Even his wife, Melania, and his youngest son Barron, were planning to spend Christmas in Florida without him.
Solitude at the top is not only sad, it is dangerous: the Roman Emperor Caligula, as the legend goes, was so lonely that he talked to the moon and wanted to appoint his beloved horse, Incitatus, as consul in the Roman Senate.
The two leaders share many characteristics: pomposity, eccentricity, theatricality, and megalomania. But, as last week's events have shown us, even if Trump doesn't appoint a horse as Mattis's replacement, his growing isolation may cause him to take extreme measures that could seriously endanger the US, and the world at large.
The outgoing defense secretary played a greater role than that of the "responsible adult," as Trump's critics like to call him. He was the only one who wouldn't tell Trump what he wanted to hear.
It seems that US National Security Advisor John Bolton and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo opposed Trump's decision to withdraw from Syria, but kept quiet. Mattis' views could be clearly seen in the blistering letter of resignation that gave lie to Trump's claim that Mattis was retiring.
With the recent departure of top economic adviser Gary Cohn (who opposed Trump's trade war with China, which led to an unsettling drop in stock markets), White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly, and now Mattis, there is no one in Washington to voice different opinions around the Cabinet table. And herein lies the problem.
The great American presidents, such as Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt, surrounded themselves with a diverse group of advisors with differing, and usually opposing views. In their eyes, arguments and disagreements were beneficial rather than harmful.
In fact, many historians believe that diverse array of opinions is what led US President John F. Kennedy to successfully solve the Cuban missile crisis and prevent a nuclear war.
It's no secret that Trump doesn't (or doesn't like to) listen to others. That's one of the reasons that led him to the White House. "I trust my gut instincts," Trumps likes to say. "My gut tells me more sometimes than anybody else's brain can ever tell me," he said.
From now on, there would be no one else to listen to, except that gut feeling.
The crises we have been witnessing for the past several days—the American decision to pull out of Syria, drops on Wall Street, and the bewildering number of personnel changes—demonstrate how dangerous Trump's "gut" can be.
