Those coming to work in Saskatchewan through provincial or federal immigration programs either, on a temporary or permanent basis, are protected by The Foreign Worker Recruitment and Immigration Services Act (FWRISA).
Job openings in Saskatchewan can be found on the following websites. New jobs are posted regularly on the following websites, so you should visit these sites often.
Develop skills for your job search and improve your workplace communication skills before you arrive in Saskatchewan.
Some organizations in Saskatchewan can assist you in finding a job. They can provide information on job opportunities, help you prepare job applications, provide training and education and the resources (computers, printers, and fax machines) to help you with your job search.
When searching for a job, having work experience in Canada may give you an advantage over other applicants. Employers may want you to have Canadian work experience because:
Although it may be difficult to get Canadian work experience, there are several ways you can get this experience:
Part-time work refers to positions where you work less than 30 hours a week. It allows you to gain Canadian work experience and earn money while attending classes or caring for your family. You may also see jobs that are described as casual. Generally, this means that you do not work a regular schedule, but will be scheduled to work when you are needed.
Temporary work refers to a job that is available for a period of time, with a specific start and end date. Seasonal work means that the temporary job is available for a certain time of the year. Part-time, temporary, seasonal, and casual jobs are listed on a number of job websites.
Work placement programs provide you with an opportunity to work for a short period in a workplace, sometimes without pay. This is an excellent way to get Canadian work experience and make contacts. You can learn more about work placement programs in your area by contacting your local Labour Market Service Office and your Regional Newcomer Gateway.
A transitional job is different from your usual work, but it allows you to earn money while you are looking for other opportunities or waiting for certification in your occupation. For example, someone educated as a lawyer may find work as a legal assistant in a law office or with the government doing research and policy development. Transitional jobs can help you get Canadian work experience, make yourself known to employers, and improve your English skills.
Saskatchewan has opportunities for health care workers in certain professions. Some are in high demand; while others may not be.
Check the job sites listed below to see what positions are available in your health care profession:
Not all health professionals work in the public health care system. Many regulated health professionals work in private businesses. Examples of these professionals:
As examples, dentists set up their own businesses and often hire dental hygienists and dental assistants. Many private clinics offer physiotherapy services, and private diagnostic labs also employ health care workers.
You can start your job search before you come to Canada. If you already qualify for a license, or if you want to work in an unregulated position, you may be eligible for a temporary work permit.
If you are not a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident, it is illegal for you to work in Canada without permission. In most situations, you will need a work permit.
In order to qualify for a work permit, you will need to complete the following steps:
You can change your job at any time in Canada if you are on a work permit, but please note that:
If you are working in Saskatchewan on a temporary work permit and meet the eligibility requirements for the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP), you can apply for permanent residence while working temporarily in the province.
The key steps to obtain a work permit and become a permanent resident in Saskatchewan include the following:
See Work in Canada temporarily for information on applying for a temporary work permit.
If you are working in Canada on a work permit, it may be possible for your spouse (husband or wife) or common-law partner and children to come with you to Canada or visit you in Canada after you have arrived.
If your spouse or common-law partner and your dependent children want to work while they are in Canada, they must have their own work permit.

Fighting High Books
Lancaster (Author Signed)
The Forging of a Very British Legend
By John Nichol
Author Signed editions
Hardcover, Publisher: Simon & Schuster UK. Length: 464 pages. ISBN13: 9781471180460
'The epic story of an iconic aircraft and the breathtaking courage of those who flew her' Andy McNab, bestselling author of Bravo Two Zero
'Compelling, thrilling and rooted in quite extraordinary human drama' James Holland, author of Normandy 44
From John Nichol, the Sunday Times bestselling author of Spitfire, comes a passionate and profoundly moving tribute to the Lancaster bomber, its heroic crews and the men and women who kept her airborne during the country's greatest hour of need.
'The Avro Lancaster is an aviation icon; revered, romanticised, loved. Without her, and the bravery of those who flew her, the freedom we enjoy today would not exist.'
Sir Arthur Harris, the controversial chief of Royal Air Force Bomber Command, described the Lancaster as his 'shining sword' and the 'greatest single factor in winning the war'. RAF bomber squadrons carried out offensive operations from the first day of the Second World War until the very last, more than five and a half years later. They flew nearly 300,000 sorties and dropped around a million tons of explosives, as well as life-saving supplies. Over 10,000 of their aircraft never returned. Of the 7,377 Lancasters built during the conflict, more than half were lost to enemy action or training accidents.
The human cost was staggering. Of the 125,000 men who served in Bomber Command, over 55,000 were killed and another 8,400 were wounded. Some 10,000 survived being shot down, only to become prisoners of war. In simple, brutal terms, Harris's aircrew had only a 40 per cent chance of surviving the war unscathed.
Former RAF Tornado Navigator, Gulf War veteran and bestselling author John Nichol now tells the inspiring and moving story of this legendary aircraft that took the fight deep into the heart of Nazi Germany.
John Nichol served in the Royal Air Force for fifteen years. On active duty during the first Gulf War in 1991, his Tornado bomber was shot down during a mission over Iraq. Captured, tortured and held as a prisoner of war, John was paraded on television, provoking worldwide condemnation and leaving one of the most enduring images of the conflict.
John is the bestselling co-author of Tornado Down and author of many highly acclaimed Second World War epics including Return of the Dambusters, Tail-End Charlies and Spitfire. He has made a number of TV documentaries with Second World War veterans, written for national newspapers and magazines, and is a widely quoted commentator on military affairs.

Designing a Nonprofit's website to help clarify their message
From Chaos to Clarity: Building a Nonprofit's CRM database
Bringing ancient wisdom to the modern world through learning design & online courses
I'm a San Francisco Bay Area-based Human Centered Designer with 10 years experience helping nonprofit organizations achieve their mission with clarity and elegance.
I have always loved the creative process and have been drawing painting and creating music since I was a child.
I was able to apply my enthusiasm for art and creativity to my work with nonprofits through the medium of design- helping to design and create their websites, databases, programs and curriculum in beautiful and user friendly ways. It was the perfect alchemy of creativity, psychology, and value driven work.
I graduated from Northwestern University with a triple-major in Computer Science, Music and Religion. During this time I studied abroad in Bodhgaya, India and was introduced to the teachings of Buddhism.
I embarked on a traditional 3 year retreat in the Tibetan tradition at a retreat center in southern France, and continue with my studies today as a meditation instructor. The past three years I have participated in a program designed to give western students of Tibetan Buddhism the foundations needed to become teachers themselves.
I have a background in trompe l'oeil mural painting, and apprenticed with master muralist John Pugh. The challenge and thrill of planning large scale murals that observers believed to be reality follows me in other ventures where I still gravitate towards crafting the big picture while still tending to the smallest detail.
I also love bluegrass music, hiking in the redwoods, and traveling to experience other countries and cultures.

Sunday afternoon, while Less Than Jake pogoed the main stage back to life, over at the House Party arena, JJ Rosa was bringing her svelte blues rock to Kendal's favourite reconstructed living room.
With its chunky stylings and sorbet yellow livery, the 2015's House Party was themed around 'a sort of early 90s house'. Years ago, the original Kendal House Party also had "couches, fridges, and it was genuinely just DJs who were mates-of-mates, no one professional," recalls festival co-founder Ben Robinson, "But over the years, it's expanded in size alongside the festival."
This year the House played host to the likes of Hacienda legend Dave Haslam, Dj John Da Silva, rave karaoke, the always-groovy Baggy Mondays, a full-to-bursting reunion set from early 90s nearly-men Northside, and something called 'Power Ballad Salad', which we'll leave to your imagination.
And now, with the tenth anniversary over, Andy and Ben and everyone on the team would like to take this moment to say a very special thanks.
"From that first tent-pole climbing high-wire act at Abbot Hall Park in Kendal a decade ago, we never believed it would turn into what it has. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to every single person who has, by coming or contributing, made this festival with us."
See you in the fields for another ten years.

VotW – British Transport Films Bicycle Special
So, our video escapist short this week is from 1955 and follows a British bicycle club on an excursion from London through Rugby and on to Warwick. "Wait a second!" you say. Is that "cyclist" in the title? Like "bicycle"? Well yes. Yes, it is. For our video of the week this go 'round I wanted something different. Different and fun. Not only does the video feature bicycles, of course, but over the course of the fifteen-minutes you see lots of cars and steam trains. Steam locomotives were used in Britain far later than they were in the states. If you can skip over some of the trolls in the comments, and a few bits of foul language, there are some interesting observations on the bikes and on the excursion itself.

With PPC marketing, you pay to display your ads at preferred locations on sites and in search results. Our seo training in lahore make you capable to run PPC campaign for your client and get earn through it. This amount is your maximum Cost Per Click (CPC). Budget-conscious marketers appreciate this model because they only have to pay a fee when someone clicks on an ad.
Of course, not all clicks of your ads will lead to a purchase. But if you convert just few percent of those clicks and each customer spends money, you've already made a profit.
How does PPC marketing work?
Many web publishers and social networking sites host PPC ads. PPC ads are labeled Ad and appear above organic search results.
On social networking sites, PPC ads often resemble standard feeds in the news feed. The two most popular PPC models are auctioned and fixed rate. In either case, you create a fixed budget and choose the keywords you want to target. The main difference is that with real-time bidding, as with Google AdWords, you need to win the bid for the ad to appear.
The PPC platform suggests a bid amount for your keywords. When someone does a search, an auction is triggered between different officers targeting similar keywords. The platform awards the best placement based on maximum CPC and Offer or Quality Score.
As a small business owner, you may be reluctant to participate if the best location is for the highest bidder. Sophisticated PPC platforms, however, take other factors into account, which is explain in seo training in lahore course such as click through rate and relevance. Click through rate is the ratio of clicks an ad compared to the number of times it is displayed. The average clicks through rate for ads hosted on Google AdWords is about two percent, according to Word stream.
PPC and SEO
When performing an online search, the search engine strives to provide the most useful results. For a site to be well positioned in organic results, it must be optimized with relevant content and keywords.
Achieving high positioning takes a lot of time and effort. You need to update the site regularly and create content that people are asking for again.
PPC is a paid type of search engine marketing (SEM) that corresponds to a non-organic search process. To sum up, reconciling PPC and SEO can seriously boost your online marketing strategy. Consider these essential factors:
- Short-term Lead Generation: SEO is a long-term strategy that depends on the creation of streaming content. Most websites, however, experience occasional drops in traffic when marketing efforts are running out of steam. Conducting PPC campaigns can help you attract new prospects. If your ads lead to quality and optimized sites, your PPC campaigns will be a great success and your fees will go down.
- Accurate Targeting: A good keyword search is the basis of any PPC campaign. Using long-tail keywords can help you reduce the number of irrelevant clicks on your conversion rate. Many PPC platforms allow you to refine your demographic criteria. You can limit your audience based on characteristics such as age, gender, and browsing activity.
- Performance measurement: Using real-time data, you can invest in small test campaigns and adjust your seo tactics according to seo training in lahore to improve your bottom line. PPC marketing gives you seamless access to the source and frequency of quality leads.

John Calvin's theology in his TULIP for the novice theologian
John Calvin did most of his ministry in Geneva, Switzerland
John Calvin's TULIP
John Calvin is one of the Reformed Theologians, and in trying to help people understand his theology developed the mnemonic device TULIP. Each letter of TULIP teaches people one lesson of how to live and how much God loves us. This way people could better understand who God was in their life and how their salvation was already planned and fully in God's hands. The TULIP mnemonic helped people in Geneva understand and remember that God is sovereign over all of us, a doctrine that John Calvin fully believed in and taught.
John Calvin (10 July 1509 – 27 May 1564)
The tulip is a lovely flower and a great way to remember John Calvin's understanding of salvation.
T- Total Depravity.
The first letter of TULIP, Calvin was very clear that people are depraved, in other words, they do things that are sinful, wrong, or just plain dumb. Our sinful nature pulls us away from God and makes our relationship with God in need of healing and redemption. John Calvin believed when we understand that we are sinful, that we do wrong in the eyes of God, then we can better understand the love God has for us as we are redeemed and saved. Sin is everything we do that does not bring us closer in a relationship with God and Christ.
U- Unconditional Election
We are not chosen on race, gender, social standing or genealogy. We are saved because God loves us, and there is nothing we can do to earn or lose that love. We cannot work harder or earn more money to gain access to heaven. This right is give by God alone, and when we understand that we can live our lives with a different perspective. While good works is needed, God is the only one who can actually give us the salvation we need. Some people have confused this with predestination, which is another thought attributed to Calvin. This is the belief that people are going to heaven (or hell) before they are born and there is nothing they can do to change this fact. Calvin also used a term called "the elect" to explain who was going to heaven and who was not. The only challenge here lies that we do not know who is elect and who is not, thus Calvin teaches us to treat everyone as the elect, and let God figure out the rest. Our salvation is not for us to change, which I take comfort in, because I am the type of person who would mess up and I don't want my errors to determine my salvation. I would much rather have God in charge of something that important.
L- Limited Atonement
The act of Christ dying on the cross was for the
purpose of our salvation. We are all brought to that one event and
through his death we are no longer held captive to sin or death. While
the event was limited in time and place, Christ's death and saving grace reaches far beyond the
moment. John Calvin understood the need for people to recognize daily how much Christ has already done for them. In his life and ministry, Jesus Christ saves us even today. in Calvin's TULIP we can understand that with this Limited Atonement we are a blessed people yesterday, today and tomorrow.
I- Irresistible Grace
God cannot be resisted, and when someone has been
chosen to be saved, they will be. We can turn our backs on the saving grace of God, but it is always offered and we will see signs of God's grace and sovereignty in our lives. There is no way to lose the salvation
we all have when God is in charge. This goes to John Calvin's belief of the
sovereignty of God, which is just a big word for God is all powerful,
God loves us, and God is fully in charge of our salvation. The idea of God's sovereignty is also meant to help us understand we cannot change our salvation. God has already done everything needed to bring our sins to redemption, and John Calvin wanted his congregation to know they are saved no matter how sinful they feel they are. In our lives we can fail, but in the end God understands us and loves us enough to offer grace to everyone, especially those who believe in Jesus Christ.
P- Perseverance of the Saints
Those who God has chosen to be saved cannot lose their salvation. This is a common thread (as I am sure you have noticed) throughout Calvin's theology. It goes beyond that and states that if one believes they are saved they are not going to turn away from God and reject the grace they were given. It is a life changing experience to walk through TULIP, because you first admit that you are completely full of sin and without hope, and then you realize that because God loves you, you will be saved for all time. We must continue onward in serving God because God has already done much for us.
TULIP in action
John Calvin taught and desired everyone to understand the over-reaching love of God. He did things his way sometimes and that is why he was forced to leave Geneva once. However, because of his desire to show others God's love he was asked back and continued to serve the church in his ministry, with his intellect, and also with his life. Understanding TULIP will help us to understand how much God has done for us already, and how much we need to continue living our lives as people who are already saved, and also seeing others as being good people, the elect, the people God chose before they were even born.
Theology is important
I feel it is important to help all types of people understand who God is in their own life. John Calvin, in the Institutes of the Christian Religion, states the more we understand ourselves the more we understand God and the more we understand God the more we understand ourselves. In the study of God, or Theology, everyone has their own perceptions and ideas. As we come together we can learn more about ourselves and God by how we relate to others. I am currently trying to bring theology to a level where a child, specifically a 5-year old child, can understand how God loves everyone. The links below are other Hubs that relate to talking to children about God, theology, and other religious issues. I hope to continue to share my thoughts on bringing God to all, and also sharing the amazing perceptions of how a five-year- old can help adults reflect on what they know about God and Jesus Christ.
He's got the whole world in His hands, and we are better off because of this.

Let's just admit it: Most new parents obsess about their babies' diapers. I'm not talking about the type of diaper -- cloth, disposable, designer prints or plain white -- but rather the contents of your baby's diaper.
Now that we've addressed this embarrassing parenting truth, let's talk about when you glimpse visible, intact pieces of yesterday's dinner or today's lunch staring back at you from down on the changing table. Other than being a little gross, what exactly does undigested food in stool mean in terms of your child's health?
The good news is, most undigested food in stool causes are nothing to worry about. When we interviewed Danny Thomas, MD, the head of the division of Pediatric Gastroenterology at Children's Hospital Los Angeles for Kids in the House, he told me thatundigested food in stool, along with diarrhea, is one of the most common reasons parents come to see him. "People bring their child into our office, because they are concerned that their toddler is passing what looks like undigested food into their stool. They want to know if this is normal, is there something wrong with their digestion and what they should do about it. More importantly, should they change their diet?" The answer is almost always no, Thomas explained. "This is a common problem that happens a lot -- it's actually pretty normal. If you think about it, before you are toilet trained, you just poop when you need to poop. Whatever you have eaten doesn't sit in the colon very long; therefore, the colon and the bacteria in the colon don't digest it very well. It comes out and you can see (the food) intact. After you are potty trained, you only go to the bathroom once or twice a day and these things sit in your colon. When they sit in your colon, the bacteria and other digestive enzymes sit in there and further digest it and you don't see it so much."
Okay, but what about when your child is potty trained -- what exactly is this undigested food in stool, toddler edition, telling you about your child's gut? Again, It can be perfectly normal to see whole pieces of corn, nuts or other foods in the toilet -- especially if your child's stool is loose. This might just be toddler's diarrhea, a condition where kids are prone to loose stools, often with pieces of undigested food or mucous in them. Toddler's diarrhea tends to strike boys more than girls, and can cause a child to have multiple bouts of smelly, pale, loose stools per day -- sometimes up to 10 of them. There's no known cause for this condition, but most kids grow out of it eventually, and as long as they are staying on their growth curve and otherwise healthy, there's usually no need for intervention.
However, there are times when undigested food in a child's stool does mean something more serious is going on. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), food intolerances and allergies, bacterial infections and celiac disease can cause food to be "malabsorbed," or not processed correctly by the digestive system. If your child is also acting lethargic, complaining of stomachaches or isn't growing as he or she should be, it's time to see your doctor.
If your child is healthy and happy, the only thing you need to be concerned about with undigested food in their stool is the ick-factor. But if you look at it with a sense of humor, it can actually be a fun lesson in how our digestive systems work. Look in your child's diaper if you dare -- you might be shocked at some of the stuff you see. Even the experts aren't immune, according to Dr. Thomas. "You see the oddest things your toddler's poop," he told us during his interview. "My daughter will probably kill me for saying this, but my wife and I were changing her diaper one day and she had an intact Chiquita Banana sticker in her poop. We were kind of wondering if she ate the entire banana or what!"

Sign Petition here to Demand Transparency and Improved Aid Distribution
- Forward widely: if we collect enough signatures change.org will feature this effort.
- Watch the compelling video below on the conditions in the IDP camps.
The world responded generously to Haiti's earthquake, immediately donating over $2.5 billion, with another $1.2 billion pledged, even before the March 31 UN Donor's Conference. This works out to over $1,000 per earthquake victim. But over two months later, hundreds of thousands of Haiti's earthquake victims live without waterproof shelter, eat once a day or less, and do not receive adequate medical care.
As of March 24, the UN estimates that over 330,000 people needing shelter had not received any shelter materials. For over 75% of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who do receive help, "shelter materials" means tarps, not waterproof tents; Nearly half of the respondents in a late February survey of IDP camps reported having received no food aid (Neglect in the Encampments: Haiti's Second Wave Humanitarian Disaster, Mar. 23, 2010); and Earthquake victims complain that they have not been consulted regarding earthquake response planning or execution.
The governments and NGOs entrusted with the world's generosity need to respond more efficiently and effectively to Haiti's earthquake. This means better coordination among aid providers, more transparency about where and how they are spending our money, and more participation of earthquake victims in the planning and execution of earthquake response projects.
Please sign the change.org petition below by clicking here to let those who have received your charitable contributions and tax money know that you still care enough about Haiti to watch where your money is going.
Daniel Wordsworth (President and CEO, American Refugee Committee), Josette Sheeran (Executive Director, World Food Programme), Hon. William Jefferson Clinton (UN Special Envoy to Haiti), Jakob Kellenberger (President, International Committee of the Red Cross), The Honorable Beverly J. Oda (Minister of International Cooperation, Canada), Richard Stearns (President, World Vision U.S.), Jean-Michel Severino (Director General, Agence Française de Développement ), Richard Dreiman (President and CEO Chemonics International), Douglas Alexander, MP (Secretary of State for International Development, UK ) and Dr. Rajiv Shah (Administrator, U.S. Agency for International Development)
Petition Text
I sign this petition to express my great concern that ten weeks after Haiti's earthquake, and despite over $2.5 billion generously donated to Haiti's relief efforts (over $1,000/earthquake victim), too many earthquake survivors live without basic shelter, food and healthcare.
Although I appreciate the heroic efforts that many individuals and organizations have made to respond to the earthquake, it is simply unacceptable that over 330,000 – over a quarter of the displaced in Port-au-Prince – have not received shelter materials, and over half report not receiving food aid. Earthquake victims report that they are not consulted by relief agencies, or involved in the distribution of aid.
As a donor and a taxpayer, I am insisting that the governments and NGOs entrusted with the world's generosity respond more efficiently and effectively to Haiti's earthquake. This means:
- better coordination among aid donors and providers;
- allowing more participation of earthquake victims in the planning and implementation of earthquake response projects; and
- more transparency about where and how Haiti earthquake funds are spent.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Hands up if the title of this post made you break out into song!
Hi there, it's three again. As erm suggested, I haven't been around much thanks to a ridiculously busy life which I 100% brought upon myself. *sigh*
Anyway, a couple of months ago something highly disturbing happened to me: Someone close to me, someone I considered to be a friend, said something unforgivable.
"I didn't really like Moana," she said, probably sneering (it was in a groupchat). "I didn't like any of the songs and I just found it boring."
My response was something along the lines of "well, then I guess we can't be friends anymore." She adorably thought I was joking. NOPE.
I was surprised, in that moment, chatting on facebook during a Stats lecture, how much it upset me that someone in my life dared to not like Moana. I haven't cared that much about people liking the stuff I like since I was a teenager. And even now, months later, I still get angry when I think about it. "I didn't like any of the songs" and "It was boring" is not a legitimate opinion and she should be ashamed.
So in an effort to vent my frustration about that complete lack of a review, I am here today to argue a point which I believe wholeheartedly: Moana is the greatest Disney princess of all time. Okay, that may be an overstatement. Instead I'll say that she embodies all of the best characteristics of my favourite Disney princesses, combined into one superpower princess. Let's go!
An Innocent Warrior
Anyway, from this scene onwards this movie is pure magic. A part of that comes from the fact that this scene occurs when she's a small child. It warms my heart to think that the Ocean saw the goodness in someone who can't even speak yet. The Ocean chose her. And that's something that she struggles to reconcile throughout the rest of the movie.
When else have we been given a quick glimpse of a princess's true inner power from when they were a child?
Hey, look, it's my second favourite Princess, Tiana!
When I say inner power, by the way, I'm not talking about an ability to make gumbo. Tiana's power (in my opinion) is that she uses food as a way to bring people together. Anyone can cook (according to Gusteau), but not anyone can bring people from far and wide to get a taste of their food. It's about people, not recipes, for Tiana and her dad.
Moana's inner power, the one identified by the Ocean so early on, is that she's a warrior. She is willing to fight for what she knows to be right, even if fighting involves saving a turtle and missing the pretty pink shell. Later, she fights to restore the heart, and her warrior's resolve is what gets her through.
Both Moana and Tiana are marked by these traits, identifiable from early childhood, and stop at nothing to live out the path that they are destined for, even at the expense of their enjoyment of life and their relationships. That's kind of a badass thing for a woman to get to do, IMHO.
We Know the Way
Moana knows her whole life that she is destined to be chief. This, of course, is different from the path given to her by the Ocean, and the one she feels in her gut that she needs to follow. What really impresses me about Moana's journey is that she manages to take two seemingly incompatible destinies and make them one. Moana is the Chief who brought the village back to the ocean.
Now, there's a comparison to be made here with Moana and Simba. That could be an article of its own, so I'm just going to ignore that for now.
Instead, I want to talk about a more recent example: Elsa. Elsa also had two incompatible destinies: she was born with terrifying power, and also destined to be queen. With much, much more inner struggle, Elsa manages to combine the two and become Queen without sacrificing her powers.
The reason I love this is because it shows true leadership ability. These women didn't just come of age – they proved leadership ability by bringing something of themselves to the role of Chief/Queen.
Sails to Te Fiti
Moana is a badass. She ties up her hair and barrels forward into challenges. I don't think we've seen a Disney Princess come so naturally into her own as an action hero. Bravery, adventurousness, and physical prowess are all things Moana has from the start, which is new and wonderful.
Mulan holds a place in my heart as the first Disney Princess to run into battle. Both Moana and Mulan do something that is uncommon for female characters anywhere – they make bold, self-sacrificing, even violent decisions to save Motonui/China.
Know Who You Are
Moana sees Te Ka, not as a massive fiery monster, but as someone who has had her heart stolen. It's that same compassion that the Ocean saw in her at the beginning – the "innocent" in "innocent warrior" – which allowed Moana to see this. Maui certainly never would have. (Don't get me wrong, I love Maui. I'm just saying, there's a reason why the Ocean chose her.)
Just as Moana was entrusted with the Heart of Te Fiti, Rapunzel was entrusted with the Sun's Gift.
I'm just choosing to interpret it this way, by the way. We've talked about it before. I like to think that this All-Knowing Flower (or the Sun to Moana's Ocean) knew that Rapunzel was a good egg, and that's why it let her house its gifts, because she got to decide how to dish them out.
Both Rapunzel and Moana create a lot of good by being innocent and seeing the best in others. Now, this is nothing groundbreaking – female characters always get stuck being virginal and pure – but it still shouldn't be underestimated. Goodness is a real superpower, especially when it comes with healing abilities/an artifact which will save the world. These movies are acknowledging the power of goodness, which I am all for.

I remember my mom going red in the face when she would ask: "What do you want for dinner?" and we would reply: "Anything". It might have taken 20 years to understand, but I finally get the frustration and stress that comes with trying to figure out what the flip to cook for dinner every evening. That, coupled with my mission to eat healthy means I've had to remove Kung Fu Kitchen from my speed dial and really consider what I'm going to whip up every evening.
Our diet mainly consists of fish and salad these days, which means it's relatively easy to whip something up but there are still the days where I get home from a long day of shooting or travelling and I'd rather eat a cup of glass than stand in front of the stove and cook. Enter Intsasa Foods!
Intsasa Foods was opened by a friend of mine a few months ago and she asked me to order a few things and try them out but scouts honour I'm not selling you rainbows and unicorns I honestly love their dishes.
Intsasa is pretty straight forward, you go onto their website, pick whatever you want and boom it will get delivered to your door. All the dishes are really affordable in my opinion, much cheaper than heading to a grocery store, ranging from R50 to R35 (I don't think you can even get a Big Mac for that little)! What might surprise you is the delivery fee so what I suggest you do is order monthly and keep the meals in your freezer instead of doing it weekly and racking up a delivery bill for the same amount as the cost of the food!
I've tried a few of their meals so far but the top of my list is the LCHF Beef Pie, which really is saying something seeing as I rarely eat beef. The pie is so so tasty and cuts out the guilty feeling by skipping the thick flakey pastry. Just a warning be careful when you're popping it out of the packaging as it tends to crumble, the last two I had ended up in pieces but it wasn't around long enough for me to notice before I shoved it down!
A favourite of Craig's is the Gluten-Free Vegetarian Lasagne which takes around 5minutes to heat up and even less to eat. It's covered in cheese though so if your body hates dairy just watch out!
Last but not least is the Gluten Free Bread perfect for all you Banters out there. We've been eating it for lunch for the past week or so and it fills you up so nicely! Craig really loves white bread so for him to deviate is a big deal!
All in all I really love the ease of getting means from Intsasa but more than that I love how tasty their food is! Check out their website and place your order here.

CBD Kush x CBD Kush Feminized
STRAIN PROFILE CBD Kush x CBD Kush Feminized
CBD Kush x CBD Kush Feminized Profile by Kyle Kushman
The evenly balanced CBD Kush is a cross between the sweet, citrusy Kandy Kush, and an unspecified CBD-rich strain. It has an earthy, fruity aroma that is subtle but head-turning. With equal parts of CBD and THC, it is more than capable of providing potent therapeutic relief with a decent buzz.
As the demand for non-psychoactive medicinal varieties increases exponentially, however, Homegrown Cannabis Co decided it's time to introduce a new kush. A product of selective inbreeding, CBD Kush x CBD Kush has twice the Cannabidiol capacity of its parent at 16% and nearly a zilch of THC at only 0.2% to 1%. Such a cannabinoid profile can uplift the mood and bring profound relaxation to the body without causing a noticeable cerebral buzz. The Indica-leaning flower also relieves pain, stress, depression, appetite loss, and, ultimately, insomnia.
Patients with mid-level cannabis gardening experience can secure a medium-to-heavy stash of CBD Kush x CBD Kush buds by growing its feminized seeds. These females are easy to cultivate and thrives indoors and out, although the former is preferred. Plus, by going male-free, worrying about a possible pollination threat is out of the picture. Simply put, these seeds make growing less complicated without compromising the quantity and quality of the harvest.
Growing CBD Kush x CBD Kush from Feminized Seeds
CBD Kush x CBD Kush develops an Indica-leaning sturdy and compact structure. It also has short internodal gaps and broad fan leaves. For ample airflow and light penetration, pruning away unnecessary leaves and branches, especially in the lower area, dramatically helps. Meanwhile, giving enough lighting during the flowering phase allows the buds to get as dense as possible. It is also recommended to use 600-watt HPS/LED grow lamps.
Finding a spot for this plant is never tricky as it has a short to medium frame. Apart from well-kept foliage, temperatures around 21-26°C and a semi-humid environment boost its chances of thriving. It can be cultivated in soil or hydroponics, but organic compost tends to produce more fragrant and flavorful flowers.
In a controlled setting, the most optimal harvest is around 450 to 500 grams per square meter after 7 to 9 weeks of flowering. To achieve this, consider growing at least 4 plants and employing the Sea of Green (SOG) setup.
When grown outdoors, up to 800 grams can be harvested by early October in the northern hemisphere. However, this is only possible in places with a lovely Mediterranean climate. If favorable conditions and shelter from potential weather changes cannot be guaranteed, it is best to cultivate indoors.
Fragrance and Flavor
CBD Kush x CBD Kush makes medicating enjoyable. Even before its effects manifest, its fantastic combo of sweet yet slightly sour fruity hit and moist loam-like undertone is already delighting the olfaction. At the same time, the palate is savoring its tropical taste with a distinct citrus tang. There are also some ultra-fine floral and earthy hints that add dimension to its flavor profile.
Using CBD Kush x CBD Kush for non-therapeutic purposes is ideal when yearning for calm. It comes with little to zero psychoactive effects. However, it thoroughly cleans up mental clutters like stray thoughts and worries, allowing the mind to focus on things that bring positivity. In this day and age, everybody needs some time-off from elements that cause distress. Plus, it can be used with tasks that require concentration and attentiveness like studying or when finishing take-home work.
Ideal for nighttime relaxation, CBD Kush x CBD Kush calms the entire body. It does not couch-lock, though, so non-strenuous activities and chores can be performed. Then, ultimately, the bud induces sleep, which would last for at least 7 hours (uninterrupted) for most people.
CBD Kush x CBD Kush offers wide-ranging benefits that can be used to bring comfort to patients suffering from different health conditions. Its anxiolytic properties mitigate feelings of anxiousness, depression, and stress while also calming hyperactive tendencies. Time away from chronic and acute pains from the likes of arthritis, migraines, PMS, and multiple sclerosis is also attained through its anti-inflammatory and analgesic functions.
As the strain stimulates the appetite and improves the ability to keep the food down, it can also be used to fight food aversion due to HIV, eating disorders, and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Lastly, the bud ensures people suffering from insomnia gets a sound night slumber without the disruptions of PTSD. That's two leading causes of sleep deprivation gone with just one flower. Even nicer, this CBD-loaded variant does not cause dizziness, anxiety, and paranoia. That said, mild cases of dry mouth and eyes may manifest, so stay hydrated.
CBD Kush x CBD Kush (CBD: 16% THC: 1%) Feminized Seeds
The ultra therapeutic CBD Kush x CBD Kush has 16% Cannabidiol load and just a zilch of THC. It can uplift the mood and relax the body without a cerebral buzz so that tasks can be performed without internal interruptions. Plus, the flower relieves pain, stress, depression, appetite loss, and insomnia as well.
Individuals with mid-level cannabis horticulture experience can grow its feminized seeds to secure medium to heavy stash of therapeutic buds. The fems produce an indoor yield of up to 500 grams and up to 800 grams in optimal outdoor conditions. As with most CBD strains, though, growing in a controlled setting is preferred, so the buds and their precious resin are protected.

What started as a store geared towards the rugged outdoorsmen has grown into one of leading retailers for the upscale college student as well as the adventurous young adult with a fashion to go along with their adventure. Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F) sells a variety of casual sportswear apparel, including shirts, graphic t-shirts, jeans, shorts, and sweaters, as well as perfumes/cologne and personal care products, and accessories for both sexes and children. As of February 1, 2014, the company operated 843 stores in the United States and 163 stores outside of the U.S. (SEC, 2014). With a footprint this large in the outdoor apparel it only made since to look into the e-commerce market to continue to expand and grow their business.
Strategic management deals with decisions a company makes to stay afloat and have a competitive advantage. Over the past years, A&F has encountered a few financial setbacks brought forth by turbulent economic times and a controversial advertising campaign that not only affected sales, it drew negative publicity and sometimes not all publicity is good publicity. If, however, the leaders of the organization can make good tactful and strategic moves, this company might be able to turn around and be profitable. Globalization and Technology
A&F understood that in order to be competitive, they must venture overseas and do it wisely as well as strategically. Companies that take the chance on foreign opportunities are often met with challenges set forth by governments, including local sourcing requirements, tariffs and restrictions on foreign direct investment. Not only must the area be able to support the new business, A&F had to make sure any other requirements from local areas are met. This may be why competitors American Eagle Outfitters Inc. and J. Crew Group Inc. had not made the move. Despite the challenge, Abercrombie took their business overseas in 2007, starting in London (Eaton, 2013). At that time, Gap Inc. was the only major competitor overseas, with one hundred sixty eight stores internationally.
Having the information available that Gap Inc. has been successful, allowed for A&F to save on financial resources of placing stores in certain areas. Knowing that Gap Inc. stores were making profit then A&F stores should make a profit in the same area. The company capitalized on this opportunity, and it paid off. The company recorded revenues of $3,318.2 million during the fiscal year ended January 2007, an increase of 19.2% over 2006. The operating profit of the company was $658.1 million during fiscal year 2007, an increase of 21.3% over 2006. The net profit was $422.2 million in fiscal year 2007, an increase of 26.4% over 2006. The company has made over $7 million in the current year with direct to consumer sales (Abercrombie & Fitch, 2007). Bringing the product to the consumers' fingertips allows for them the opportunity to shop from their couches, beds, or even workplace and have their items delivered to their homes.
The world of e-commerce has helped A&F solidify itself as a leading outdoor clothier. Dramatic changes in technology have occurred rapidly over the last ten years. As noted in the textbook, "personal computers, cellular phones, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, massive databases, and multiple social networking sites are only a few examples of how information is used differently as a result of technological developments" (Hint, 2012). With such advances over the past decade, there has been an increased focus on online sales in order to remain competitive. Multichannel shopping has enabled companies to expand margins and tap into new and emerging markets including China, the leader in use of Internet sales channels (PricewaterhouseCoopers, 2013). Abercrombie has a good online store, accessible to both domestic and international consumers which expand the number of customers dramatically compared to brick and mortar stores only.
Abercrombie plans to improve their direct-to-consumer operations by upgrading their website and offering, an assortment of web exclusive styles, by making the items web exclusive it brings those consumers that would not normally use e-commerce to their website and allows them to gather information about their consumers to continue to target the correct demographics. Abercrombie also plans on improving mobile capabilities, expanding international language and payment options. This will enable Abercrombie to be more marketable to the online environment and easily available by any consumer worldwide. Industrial Organization Model and Resource-Based Model
The industrial organization (I/O) model describes how above-average returns are earned when companies use the information gained from the external environment to target a specific area within the industry and apply a winning strategy. Recognizing that 2013 was not a good year financially, A&F created specific objectives to help improve investment capital. These objectives (recover productivity and profitably in US stores, improve international growth, increase direct to consumer sales and reduce expenses) will enable the organization to look within each area and focus on improving those areas and begin making a profit. A&F has a plan and upon proper implementation the company should begin to see a positive as well as above average return.
The textbook explains that the resource based model, "assumes that each organization is a collection of unique resources and capabilities. The uniqueness of its resources and capabilities is the basis of a firm's strategy and its ability to earn above-average returns." (Hint, 2012) At one point A&F tried to use their elite and upscale brand as an enticement, making clothing for those wear a size "large" or lower. Chief Executive Michael S. Jeffries—according to Business Insider—had a core marketing strategy that exclusive sells and that including everyone would make his business "boring." (Business Insider, 2013).
The "no plus size" strategy proved not only unsuccessful, but disastrous. It is not uncommon for small boutique stores to attempt to cater only to a particular crowd, however for a major chain store like Abercrombie & Fitch making that decision alienated a good portion of the profit potential because of Chief Executive Michael S. Jeffries' decision. A&F reported a quarterly drop in same-store sales for the seven quarters straight, and its stock price fell 10.4 percent (Business time, 2013). Vision Statement and Mission Statement of the Corporation
Abercrombie and Fitch focuses upon high-quality merchandise that compliments the casual classic American lifestyle. The organization uses this statement to not only help define how Abercrombie and Fitch do business, but what the company is trying to sell to the consumer. Many consumers around the world understand and accept they will not live in America but if that consumer can somehow have a piece of America in his/her closet through the classic American lifestyle being offered by Abercrombie and Fitch then the person will purchase what they want. The Abercrombie and Fitch brand is as much about the company and what is provided to the consumer as the actual shirt on the persons back. A person see the words Abercrombie and Fitch across a shirt it will make those around think about where the person made his/her purchase and does that person remind them of themselves and want that same brand.
How Stakeholders Impact The Overall Success Of This Corporation. There are many types of stakeholders and each one adds value to and can affect the outcome of an organization. For this paper, three types are focused on – capital market, product market and organizational. Capital market stakeholders are the shareholders. Shareholders have an invested financial interest in the firm's standing. Shareholders always want the company to make a profit and continue to grow so that their financial interest continues to grow. Product market stakeholders are the customers – those who are interest in the product being sold. Customers not only want the latest and trendiest fashions they also love the brand that is associated with Abercrombie and Fitch. That brand loyalty will keep the shareholders happy and continue investing their profits into the company, which can in turn produce more for the consumer. Organizational stakeholders are the internal workers – employees and management.
Employees are the management, supervisors, and laborers who expect a positive work environment where they can grow and gain knowledge. With good working conditions, outstanding organization to work for, and strong benefits package. Abercrombie and Fitch is a strong organization headed in the right direction using advanced technology and expanding beyond the borders of the United States. By taking the brand international, allows for a stronger market share and more profit. Great strategy must always be used when expanding beyond an organization's normal area of control. Government to include federal, state, local, and international will affect potential growth with possible tariffs or other unforeseen expenses.
Having the ability to use the unique brand and capabilities of Abercrombie and Fitch will allow them to move into the future with a strong business plan that will bring positive profits. Abercrombie and Fitch mission/vision statement is more than a way to shape the business it is a brand that consumers want. That want allows for Abercrombie and Fitch to remain relevant going forward. Stakeholders are the driving force in any business and shareholders want profits, consumers
want products, and employees want a comfortable lifestyle.

Station owners can't rely on perfect installation conditions, but there is a flexible solution.REAL WORLD APPLICATIONS
Installations don't always go entirely according to plan; tight working conditions and awkward angles can conspire to create real challenges for pipework installations. An ideal solution for imperfect conditions, flexible connectors can help to overcome all sorts of installation challenges; from tight fits and not-quite right measurements to layout and spatial constraints.
Flexible connectors can help to reduce the stress on a pipe run by absorbing line shock. This can help to make the entire pipe run more resilient and decrease the likelihood of pipe failure. When choosing flexible connectors, it is important to make sure that they are UL2039 listed. This listing helps ensure the products are appropriate for use in fueling applications.
UL 2039 listed flex connectors can be used with all readily available motor fuels, making it easy for station owners to gain the same benefits no matter what their fuel requirements. Additionally, there are flexible connectors available specifically for use with DEF / AdBlue®.
With the right equipment, the entire flexible connector assembly can be quickly and easily disconnected and pulled out of the inline system without breaking pipe. This feature makes installation fast and regular maintenance simple to carry out, saving station owners both time and money.
FLEX-ING™ FIREFLEX Flexible Connectors feature 321 stainless steel corrugated fuel contact layers with up to 25% thicker metal construction than competitors, 18-8 stainless steel alloy outer braid and either nickel-plated carbon steel or full stainless steel schedule 80 end fittings. This allows FLEX-ING™ FIREFLEX Flexible Connectors to offer excellent flexibility with superior strength.
FLEX-ING™ flexible connectors offer a unique customisation ability – whatever length you require we can provide as long as you are using standard end fittings. Mix and match pipe lengths and standard end fittings to create the perfect solution for your site requirements. The EZ FIT flange coupling system is specifically designed to make connections in confined spaces simple and tight. Standard male and female end connections with integrated hex-head surfaces provide easy installation and tightening while protecting against deformation of the ends.
