5 Steps to Avoid Online Job Scams
Today, the easiest and fastest way to search for a job is by browsing online job sites. Inc. recently reported that a whopping 79 percent of job seekers today head online to find their next jobs. With an abundance of career opportunities available online, sending your resume to an employer takes only a few clicks.
Unfortunately, job seekers are perfect targets for online job scams. You need to be aware of these threats and know how to protect yourself. Here are 5 key steps you need to take in order to keep yourself safe while job hunting online.
5 Steps to Avoid Online Job Scams
1. Secure Your Computer
Before you use the internet to search for a job, you need to make sure your computer is completely protected from online threats with appropriate software. This is a must if you use the internet for any purpose and is especially important with online job hunting.
The first line of defense is installing a firewall which will detect and block any potential remote access attempts. Anti-virus and anti-malware software is necessary to block viruses, spyware, and malware that could infect your computer if you visit suspicious sites.
You also need to make sure that all of the mentioned software and your operating system are all updated regularly.
2. Recognize Online Job Scams
Learning to tell the difference between genuine job opportunities and scams may be a job seeker's biggest challenge today. Here are surefire signs a posted job may be a scam:
You received unsolicited application requests via email. If this happens, make sure you confirm all unsolicited job opportunities before applying.
The opportunity sounds too good to be true. If the pay seems high for the skill set or other parameters seem "off," it is likely a scam.
The job ad is a well-known scam. Envelope stuffing, pyramid schemes, home assembly – these are all known scams.
The job ad requires you to pay a certain fee to apply. No legitimate employer will charge you a fee up front to apply for a job.
3. Avoid Sharing Sensitive Information
If you are asked for your social security number, birthdate, credit card or banking numbers early in the job process, be extremely careful. Even if you are completely sure that that you are applying for a legitimate position, you should be wary when sharing such sensitive information online.
This especially applies if you haven't secured your computer with appropriate security software. If a hacker gets ahold of your personal information you could become a victim of identity theft. To prevent that from happening, take the necessary security precautions and only share your personal information over the phone or in person.

4. Be Careful With Unsolicited Email
As mentioned above, you might get unsolicited emails offering resume help, career coaching, interviewing tips or job opportunities. Unfortunately, many of these offers are scams.
That is why you should be extremely careful when opening and responding to emails that have the following characteristics:
You are BCC'd on what looks like a bulk email.
The "reply to" address goes to an unattended mailbox.
The sender is using an email service such as Gmail or Yahoo instead of an official corporate email address.
The email includes instructions to download documents, click links or watch embedded videos (any of which could discharge spyware or malware onto your device).
Someone you don't know sends you a personalized email inviting you to apply for a job.
5. Trust Your Instincts
Finally, probably the most important thing when searching for a job is to trust your own instincts. So, if your internal warning bells start going off, pay attention. If a job sounds too good to be true or if anything about the job looks suspicious, it would be best to not pursue that position.
There is always a way to verify employers, job opportunities and application criteria when the job is legitimate. By taking the time to complete these extra steps, you can ensure you spend your valuable time applying for legitimate jobs that deserve your talent and skills.
Final Thoughts
By understanding how scammers step in at moments in life when you are particularly vulnerable or trusting to take advantage of you, you can take the proper self-protective measures. By securing your computer, verifying whether job postings are authentic, safeguarding your private information and trusting your instincts, you can successfully navigate through the wilds of the internet to land a great new job.

Dubbed the Chinese equivalent of Google, Baidu is the number one Internet search engine in its home country, China, and the brainchild of Robin Li, who founded the company in a hotel room overlooking Beijing University's campus in 1999 with Eric Xu.
The Chinese search giant began its own site--Baidu.com--in September 2001 and offered advertising space on its site before Google did.
By 2004, Baidu turned a profit and the company went public in the United States in August 2005.
Baidu inked a partnership with Intel in April this year, to develop Internet applications for a variety of computing devices.
Aside from fighting off fierce competition from search giants Google and Yahoo, Baidu also has to deal with the problem of illegal music downloads. In November this year, the search giant was cleared of helping users download music illegally by the Chinese court.
Baidu.com ranks among ZDNet Asia's Top 10 fastest-growing companies for 2006/07.

(Fox News/"Fox & Friends")
By Sandy Fitzgerald |
Tuesday, 16 August 2016 11:29 AM
Fox News' Sean Hannity complained Tuesday that the liberal media — in particular, CNN — has been biased when it comes to covering Donald Trump and engages in a "double standard" when it comes to covering the GOP nominee and his rival, Hillary Clinton.
"The media is so in the tank, so on board for Hillary, they're so abusively biased," the Fox News star, who will host a town hall event in Milwaukee Tuesday night for Trump, told the "Fox & Friends" program.
Hannity was particularly angry with a segment on CNN's "Reliable Sources" Sunday show, calling host Brian Stelter a "little pipsqueak" for allowing "this arrogant professor from the Kennedy School of Journalism, to talk about Donald Trump being a demagogue and demagogues like Trump become dictators."
Such coverage, he said, is the kind CNN offers "as they literally kiss Hillary Clinton's [expletive] and Obama's [expletive] every day," using language in the telephone interview that met with alarm from the hosts.
"Wait a minute," "Fox & Friends" Ainsley Earhardt said. "I don't know if we're allowed to say that. It's too early."
"By the way, I say that on my show every night," Hannity replied. "Sorry guys."
Hannity on Tuesday also discussed growing concerns over Clinton's health, after Trump said he thinks she "lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS" and other adversaries.
" I don't know if that's a risk," said Hannity. "I mean, you can compare the vitality between the two. And there's no comparison. What her actual health is I don't know. But I do think the public has a right to know and I'm all in favor of her releasing her medical records."
In Tuesday night's town hall, Trump will likely follow up on Monday's speech about his plans to combat Islamic terrorism, said Hannity.
"I thought yesterday's speech by Trump was the best speech he gave," said Hannity. "I think it creates a great paradigm for him to follow the next 84 days of this campaign . . . If he focuses only on Hillary and Obama, the way he did yesterday, and he lays out their failures like he did yesterday and then he offers an alternative way to deal with not only radical Islam and ISIS, but the economy, energy, immigration, all the other important topics I think that's the formula, that's the secret sauce that would get him elected."
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, also speaking on the "Fox &Friends" program, said he'll be at the town hall Tuesday night, and also believes Trump needs to make it clear the race is between himself and Clinton.
"She's fundamentally unfit to be the president," said Walker. "She lied about the emails, put our national security at risk. She lied to the family of those fallen in Benghazi and now we have more evidence there's a question as to where the State Department ended and where the Clinton Foundation started."
The state of the race in Wisconsin is a "roller coaster," said Walker and he thinks that will continue unless Trump keeps the focus on her.

Jason Koebler, writing for Motherboard: Statehouse employees in Minnesota say that lobbying efforts by big tech companies and John Deere are on the verge of killing right to repair legislation in the state that would have made it easier for consumers and small businesses to fix their electronics. According to two of the bill's sponsors, the bill, which would have introduced "fair repair" requirements for manufacturers in the state, will not get a hearing that's necessary to move the legislation forward. Minnesota Senate rules automatically kills any bills that do not have a hearing scheduled by a certain date (this year, it's March 10). Last year, tech industry lobbying killed a similar bill in New York. "Unfortunately, it's not going to make deadline this session," Republican Sen. David Osmek, one of the sponsors, told me in an email. Osmek would not give additional specifics about his colleagues' concerns with the bill, but a legislative assistant for the bill's other sponsor told me that electronic manufacturer lobbying is likely to blame, while another source close to the legislature told me that tractor manufacturer John Deere — a long time enemy of fair repair — helped kill the bill as well.

Event is second in a series that recognizes the imperative of building a profession that reflects our nation's diversity.
WASHINGTON – April 10, 2019 – Leaders from top architecture and design organizations celebrated women in design at an event last night co-hosted by The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA).
Part of a series that explores the imperative of expanding diversity in the architecture profession, the "Women in Design" event acknowledged the contributions and accomplishments of women in the design field.
"As the role and definition of design expands, women in the profession are increasingly forging their own paths and adding their value to the industry in significant ways," said 2019 AIA First Vice President and 2020 President Jane Frederick, FAIA. "While strides have been made with regard to equity, diversity and inclusion in the profession, we still have work to do."
Frederick was joined by a panel of women leaders, which included ASLA Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer Nancy Somerville, Hon. ASLA, Hon. AIA; National Capital Area National Association of Black Women in Construction President Nicole Allen; and University of the District of Columbia, Architecture and Urban Sustainability Department Chair Susan Schaefer Kliman, Ph.D, AIA.
"Unfortunately, the design professions are not immune to the kind of racial, ethnic, and gender inequity we see in other fields. While there are some incredible examples of women leaders in landscape architecture, women are unfortunately under-represented in top jobs and projects," said Somerville. "The American Society of Landscape Architects is committed to bringing diversity and social equity to our field. Discussions like this one make that possible and I was proud to sit beside these incredible women leaders to keep the dialogue going."
The "Embracing Our Differences. Changing the World." speaker series launched in February with an event co-hosted with the National Organization of Minority Architects in celebration of Black History Month. Future events will be announced throughout 2019.
Last night's event can be watched on AIA's Facebook page. AIA is committed to broadening equity, diversity and inclusion to create a stronger profession. To support that mission, AIA has developed a number of programs and resources. Learn more on AIA's website.
About the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA)
Founded in 1899, the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) is the professional association for landscape architects in the United States, representing more than 15,000 members. The Society's mission is to advance landscape architecture through advocacy, communication, education, and fellowship. Sustainability has been part of ASLA's mission since its founding and is an overarching value that informs all of the Society's programs and operations. ASLA has been a leader in demonstrating the benefits of green infrastructure and resilient development practices through the creation of its own green roof, co-development of the SITES® Rating System, and the creation of publicly-accessible sustainable design resources.

Investment decisions during the last century have mostly been driven by an intense consideration for profit. But our greed for profits has resulted in a world plagued by pollution, climate change, and increasing natural calamities. This calls for a new paradigm of investment — ethical investments that take into account their impact on the environment together with profits.
Ethical investing
If you already live with a particular belief system that focuses on protecting and safeguarding the world around us, ethical investment will be easier for you to grasp and practice. Your mind is already willing to trade off certain profits in exchange for a better world, unlike hardcore investors who are solely focused on making as much money as they can even if it ends up damaging the ecosystem.
However, a major confusion most people encounter will be regarding where to draw the line. The truth of the matter is that you will probably not find a perfect ethical investment solution. There will be no stock or project for you to invest in that will not include some kind of pollution or damage to the environment. As such, the focus should be on what you are willing to tolerate and what you are not willing to tolerate.
For instance, you may have two investment options available. The first company might be involved in setting up residential housing in mountain areas by clearing forests on a large scale. The second company may be involved in building condos in hilly areas, with a design that is aimed to blend the architecture with nature so as to do minimal damage to the environment. Though both these projects involve the destruction of the ecosystem at some level, the second company will prove to be a better ethical investment since it clearly is the lesser of two evils.
However, despite the growing interest in ethical investing, the fact of the matter is that our institutions and systems are not prepared to incorporate such a viewpoint in their outlook since they largely operate strictly from a cost-profit mindset.
"There is no MBA module with a solution, and no regulatory lever to mitigate this: all financial endeavour has to be reimagined with the future of humanity as its explicit purpose. Profit was the answer to another century's problems; if we don't learn this from 2008, the lessons of 2028 will be far harsher," warns an article at The Guardian.
Performance of ethical funds
Some investors tend to believe that ethical investment means betting on companies that make too little profit or are so risky that they might not survive for long. This is untrue. Ethical funds have been closely matching and even outperforming traditional investment options across several financial markets.
"We don't believe you have to [lose out financially if you want to invest ethically] at all, and our track record proves that. The company's been going for 30 years. The track record of our Australian Ethical shares fund has been going for over 20 years and it's returned about 10 percent per annum over that period. [That] is about 3 percent more than the market that we benchmark against," ABC quotes Phil Vernon, managing director of Australian Ethica,l which oversees about US$2 billion in funds.
With ethical funds generating good returns, there aren't many reasons not to invest in them. Governments and organizations need to conduct programs that educate investors about ethical investments and their potential in the coming years.

Connecticut woman, 26, killed in 1-car crash in New York
NORTHEAST, N.Y. >> Authorities in New York say they suspect alcohol played a role in a one-car crash that claimed the life of a 26-year-old Connecticut woman.
The Dutchess County sheriff's office says deputies responded around 5:30 a.m. Sunday to a 911 call reporting a crash in the town of North East, on the Connecticut border 50 miles southeast of Albany.
Deputies say they found Canaan resident Aubrey Schmitt lying near the vehicle with serious injuries. Emergency care was provided, but police say she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Deputies say her car had left the road, hit an embankment and overturned, ejecting her from the vehicle. Police say she wasn't wearing a seat belt. Schmitt was traveling alone.
Alcohol use is suspected in the crash, but the investigation is continuing.

We're making an effort in our home to create healthy summer habits. Groceries, CSAs and farmers markets are bursting with fresh and vibrant produce – even locally grown veggies are making their way to your neighborhood stores. With so many great options at your finger tips, I challenge you to find a little down time after work experimenting with new recipes to jazz up your usual go-tos.
This winter we spent a lot of time experimenting with healthy meatball options. Thanks to Skinny Taste blog, we fought the chill with fire-filled nights topped off with delicious Buffalo Chicken Meatballs and Skinny Italian Turkey Meatballs . This summer, it seems like zucchini and ground chicken or turkey are staples in our kitchen so I decided to replace meatballs with poppers – a lighter version of our two favorites but with equal if not MORE delicious booming flavor.
Take time tonight, grab your hunny and spend some quality time getting healthy and having fun in the kitchen. A quick, easy and hugely flavorful weekday dinner.
Chicken & Zucchini Poppers
Recipe via One Lovely Life
These little guys were SO good. You could easily eat this entire batch guilt free knowing these babies are Gluten free, Paleo, and Whole30 friendly! I tweaked One Lovely Life's recipe just a tad to play nice with my loved one's taste buds.
- 1 lb. ground chicken breast
- 2c grated zucchini (leave peel on)
- 2-3 green onions, sliced
- 3-4 Tbsp fresh basil or 1 tbs of basil stir in paste (check out gourmet garden for tons of amazing health herb stir in options)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- (optional: ¾ tsp cumin)
Mix ingredients in a large bowl and spoon poppers onto a greased baking sheet (I use olive oil spray) and bake off for about 25-30 min in a 400 degree oven. I like to broil for a few minutes at the end to get a crispy top.
Yummy Creamy Avocado Hummus
Recipe via Cooking Classy
Slightly different than the recipe from my friends at Cooking Classy, my recipe was limited by the bounds of my most recent Trader Joes run. A few tweaks but still came out amazing! Feel free to add your own twist like red onion or jalepeno if you like a hot bite. If you're like me and am cooking for a small crew or just you and your hunny, cut this recipe in half. We still haven half left over in the fridge.
- 1 (15 oz) can chick peas, well drained
- 2 medium ripe avocados, cored and peeled (13 oz before cored and peeled)
- 3 Tbsp olive oil, plus more for serving if desired
- Juice from one lemon
- Juice form 1/2 lime
- 2 clove garlic, peeled
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 tsp cumin
- Pinch of red pepper flakes, for topping

Title:【中国文化-英文】Experiments with reality
Being 3 Gallery, which has relocated to a former factory in the capital, is celebrating its 10th anniversary with shows by young yet promising artists from home and abroad. Paintings by Shivani Dugar are now on display at the gallery. (Photo provided to China Daily)
For Shivani Dugar and other start-up painters like her in New York, it's a big deal to have a solo exhibition in Beijing, capital of the world's second-largest economy and an important art market.
The 35-year-old Indian mom with two children presents 25 paintings, mostly in bright, rich colors infusing 'abstract landscapes' in a mosaic style, in a solo show titled Four Seasons in Beijing's Being 3 Gallery, which is running through Jan 12.
'My paintings abound with vestiges of memory and experience, and my search for the unseen is implanted in every layer,' says Dugar.
The painter explains that she 'reaches deep within' to explore landscapes in time, aiming to create inviting spaces with an exuberance of layered colors, contrasting textures, and gesture mark-making, coupled with a dynamic play on light.
After following her father's commonsense advice to study finance at Georgetown University, Washington DC, Dugar left an investment bank, where she worked for two years, to pursue her lifelong dream of painting.
She earned a master's degree in fine art with a concentration on printmaking from Pratt Institute in the Brooklyn borough of New York in 2004.

Montreal (AFP) – The flight of banks and big businesses from Catalonia after the region of Spain voted for independence is familiar to many in Quebec who once suffered similar economic turmoil while flirting with secession from Canada.
Several companies with headquarters in Catalonia including banks Sabadell and CaixaBank, as well as real estate business Colonial and toll-road company Abertis, recently moved their registered headquarters to other parts of Spain, saying they feared being cut off from the massive European market in the event of a breakup.
There are similarities between the situation in Catalonia and Quebec when it twice voted in 1980 and 1995 on whether to split from the rest of Canada, said University of Quebec professor Mario Polese.
"Business people rarely support this kind of secession, in part because they worry it will harm their bottom line," he explained.
The sudden rise of the separatist Parti Quebecois, which swept to power in the Canadian province in 1976, spooked many in its English-speaking minority, which held undue control of Quebec's top corporations.
"For anglophones, it was a huge shock to see a small party that was born only seven years earlier suddenly take power and promise to hold a referendum on Quebec independence," he said.
A year later, the secessionists imposed a law mandating French be used in business, as elsewhere in the daily lives of a majority of Quebecers. Panic-stricken, "some 200,000 anglophones" left the province before and after the 1980 referendum, fearing Quebec would be isolated in North America and as linguistic tensions continued even after independence was rejected.
In 1977 and 1978, 263 head offices also left Montreal, according to the Quebec Employers Council, an association of the province's largest companies.

The holiday season is just around the corner, and the festive sweet treats of the season seems to be everywhere! It's hard to resist all these delectable delights. Giving up sugar during the holidays, or any other time of year for that matter, is a difficult feat. It's well-known that overindulging in sugar is bad for you, but it seems impossible to completely avoid it. Here are some tips to get you on the right track to modifying your lifestyle and improving your overall wellness and oral health.
If you think you may have a sugar problem, schedule a visit with your physician. He or she may refer you to an endocrinologist who will take your blood pressure, and conduct urine and blood tests to measure your blood sugar and cholesterol panel.
Then, you can consult a nutritionist. As a team, you can collaborate to formulate a structured nutritional plan that is low in sugar, but a diet that still tastes good!
Giving up sugar in today's world can be very difficult. According to an American Heart Association study, most adults in North America consume about 22 teaspoons of added sugars a day. When you're sitting down to a meal or snack, or when you're at the grocery store, here are some tips to help you cut down on sugar:
Some options that can help guide a person to eliminating sugar from their diet can be simple as banishing sugary beverages, like sodas, from the fridge. Reach for a glass of water instead. Water from your tap is beneficial for your oral health too, especially if it is fluoridated. Fluoride strengthens your enamel and washes away any food particles your saliva was unable to dislodge. Or, if you're craving bubbles, opt for seltzer water.
Sugar and carbohydrates are go-to snacks for many people because they're satisfying. Instead of reaching for a candy bar that has zero nutritional value, enjoy a handful of unsalted nuts or a low-fat cheese stick. They are packed with healthy fat and protein that can satisfy your appetite. Fresh vegetables and fruits are the obvious healthy snacks.
Speaking of snacks, try not to snack too much. Eating between meals can have a negative effect on your diet and your teeth. Whenever you eat, sugar and carbohydrates initiate acid attacks on your teeth. The acid can then wear away your enamel and make your teeth more susceptible to cavities. If you do snack, make sure to wash everything down with plenty of water.
Making these changes to your diet and sticking to them can make a huge impact over time on many aspects of your health. While you're making improvements to your lifestyle, take the time to evaluate your oral health too. Schedule dental cleanings twice a year, floss daily, and brush twice a day. Prevention is key for a smile that will last a lifetime, which is not only imperative in your oral health but also in your overall health, and that's priceless!

Understanding the Basics of Alimony
Spousal support, maintenance, and alimony all refer to the same concept: one spouse paying another after a divorce takes place. For people who are required to pay alimony to their ex-spouse, the idea is usually a frustrating one. Alimony exists … Continue reading

I often get the feeling listening to members of The FENG that they feel like they are selling from an empty wagon. Friends, it just isn't true.
What triggered tonight's editorial was a few comments I got from one of our members about the issue of dates for your college degrees. The "product" you need to always be selling is your wealth of experience. Everyone doesn't want the product, but those that do are willing to pay for it.
In classic marketing terms, if you try to sell a product based on attributes it doesn't have, it is considered an over promise. You are a lot better off presenting a realistic picture.
We have all seen ads for the airlines and they frequently promise good food. For anyone who has flown recently, we all know what an over promise this is. Just exactly what kind of food can be prepared in an airplane galley that would qualify as good food? What if they promised you bad food and suggested you brought your own? Well, at least you wouldn't be disappointed.
What has changed in your job search as a senior executive is that your senior level skill set is not as widely applicable as your skill set was when you were early in your career. There aren't as many jobs at the top. We all have to recognize that the pyramid is smaller at the top.
The result is that we are all required to search that much harder to discover the same NUMBER of possibilities as we might have felt were adequate at any one time earlier in our career.
But let's get back to the product. The product is you and your wealth of experience in solving problems.
Over the course of a long career, there are many problems that have only occurred a few times. This is normal. If you follow my logic, as a senior executive, what may appear as a new problem to someone early in his/her career is an old one and easily solved one for you.
This is what you have to focus on in presenting your background.
If you lay out this wealth of problem solving ability in easy to understand terms you will be that much further along in selling what IS in the wagon.
Regards, Matt

After months of dating, model Kendall Jenner and basketball superstar Blake Griffin may be on the rocks!
The break-up rumors are swirling after he was traded to the Detroit Pistons by the Los Angeles Clippers earlier this month.
A source told People magazine, "They've definitely cooled off and are taking things at a slower pace, but not because of any particular drama. He got traded and isn't local anymore, so they've grown apart a bit just because of distance. They're still involved."
Just a few weeks ago, his ex, Brynn Cameron, mother of his two children, sued for palimony, claiming that "Griffin cared more about the glamour of dating a Hollywood celebrity than the day-to-day responsibilities of being a father and family man."
In response, Blake said that her "allegations are not true and will be addressed in court."
In January, there were rumors that Blake and Kendall were "cooling off" after he was reportedly seen with a mystery woman in Malibu. A source told People magazine, "They were definitely giving off couple vibes. At one point, she put her hand in his lap, where he held her hand there for about five to 10 minutes or so."
The source added, "It was so subtle. They seemed very low-key together, and their holding hands looked entirely natural. They looked like they were really comfortable with each other, and they were definitely not calling any attention to themselves and the little bit of PDA that they shared."

James Maddison set for a knee scan reveals Daniel Farke after early injury exit in sorry 5-1 Championship defeat at Sheffield Wednesday
PUBLISHED: 15:25 06 May 2018 | UPDATED: 09:04 07 May 2018
©Focus Images Limited www.focus-images.co.uk +447814 482222
James Maddison will undergo scans in the next 24 hours to assess the extent of a left knee injury that capped a miserable 5-1 final day Championship defeat at Sheffield Wednesday.
City's player-of-the-year lasted just nine minutes at Hillsborough before walking straight down the tunnel and returning at the end of the game on crutches to applaud the travelling support.
The highly-rated midfielder is being strongly touted with a Premier League move this summer, but head coach Daniel Farke insisted the potential fallout can wait.
"I am not worried (about whether he has played his last game). I am worried about his health," he said. "I am concerned that he has suffered a big, big injury in this final match. We don't want him to be out for several weeks - hopefully not months, and the summer break is not enough for him to return.
"Let us not get too far ahead of ourselves.
"We have to wait. Not good. There is something with the knee. There will be a scan tonight or perhaps tomorrow morning. We must wait for the results.
"It could be ligaments or the inner band. He got a hit on his knee and he felt it break a bit. It doesn't look good.
"It was a duel and he slipped away from the tackle and felt something in his knee. If I am honest, it doesn't look good at present and he doesn't feel happy with his knee.
"Let's wait what the scans say."
Christoph Zimmermann was forced off after suffering a facial injury in the build up to the Owls' fourth goal while Ivo Pinto - who replaced Maddison in the 11th - picked up an Achilles problem in the final seconds of the opening period.
"I should have substituted Ivo as well. He had an Achilles injury and it was a big risk for him to play on but we had so many other injuries," said Farke.
"I am not sure if Christoph collided with Angus (Gunn) or an opponent. I would have to watch it back. We were concerned he had broken something in his face. He played further on but felt some headaches and weakness in his legs. We had to be careful then so we substituted him."

LEBANON, Maine — During today's election, residents will choose one of three candidates running for a three-year selectman seat.
Running for the position are Corinna Cole, Richard Harlow III, and Royce Heath.
Cole, 47, owner of Blue Bird Productions, has lived in Lebanon for 30 years. She said she is running for selectman to make some positive changes in town.
Bringing the town's finances in order will be one of Cole's priorities if elected. In addition, she said she would like Lebanon to implement a plan to keep the roads maintained, and to hire a town manager at a cost that is affordable to the taxpayer.
Cole, who describes herself as a great multitasker, currently serves as chairwoman of the comprehensive plan committee, which is working on a plan to address Lebanon's future and the direction for the town.
Harlow, 52, a financial adviser for Ameriprise Financial, has been a Lebanon resident for about 25 years.
"I'm running because I think I can make a difference," he said in a recent interview.
He said the biggest issue he would like to address, if elected, is the conflict of interest among town officials. One such conflict, he said, was seen over the past year, when Jason Cole, who served as a selectman, was also the assistant chief of the Rescue Department. By the time Cole resigned, the department had a $200,000 deficit.
Harlow currently serves on the Budget Committee, though if he is elected to the Board of Selectman, he will resign from the Budget Committee to avoid perceived conflict of interest, he said.
Heath, 62, who works part-time at the Lebanon transfer station, is a lifelong Lebanon resident. In his early 20s, he served as a volunteer firefighter for about five years.
Heath said he is running for selectman because he believes he can make positive changes for residents and businesses. He said he has no personal agenda, and if elected, he will work with the other selectman to continue work that is already ongoing.
"I will be in office to serve the people," said Heath. "I value the people in town."
Today's election is taking place at the Lebanon Elementary School, at 53 Upper Guinea Road. Polls are open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is mediated by antibodies, and in most cases immunoglobulin (Ig) G is the mediating antibody. This type of AIHA is referred to as "warm" AIHA because IgG antibodies bind best at body temperature. "Cold" AIHA is mediated by IgM antibodies, which bind maximally at temperatures below 37°C. AIHA caused by a drug reaction is rare, with an estimated annual incidence of 1:1,000,000 for severe drug-related AIHA.1 This article reviews the management of the more common types of AIHA, with a focus on warm, cold, and drug-induced AIHA; the evaluation and diagnosis of AIHA is reviewed in a separate article.
Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia
In AIHA, hemolysis is mediated by antibodies that bind to the surface of red blood cells. AIHA in which IgG antibodies are the offending antibodies is referred to as warm AIHA. "Warm" refers to the fact that the antibody binds best at body temperature (37°C). In warm AIHA, testing will show IgG molecules attached to the surface of the red cells, with 50% of patients also showing C3. Between 50% and 90% of AIHA cases are due to warm antibodies.2,3 The incidence of warm AIHA varies by series but is approximately 1 case per 100,000 patients per year; this form of hemolysis affects women more frequently than men.4,5
Therapeutic Options
First Line
Steroids. The goal of therapy in warm AIHA can be hard to define. However, most would agree that a hematocrit above 30% (or higher to prevent symptoms) with a minimal increase in the reticulocyte count—reflective of a significantly slowed hemolytic process—is a reasonable goal. Initial management of warm AIHA is prednisone at a standard dose of 1 mg/kg daily (Table 1).6,7 Patients should be also started on proton-pump inhibitors to prevent ulcers. It can take up to 3 weeks for patients to respond to prednisone therapy. Once the patient's hematocrit is above 30%, the prednisone is slowly tapered. Although approximately 80% of patients will respond to steroids, only 30% can be fully tapered off steroids. For patients who can be maintained on a daily steroid dose of 10 mg or less, steroids may be the most reasonable long-term therapy. In addition, because active hemolysis leads to an increased demand for folic acid, patients with warm AIHA are often prescribed folic acid 1 mg daily to prevent megaloblastic anemia due to folic acid deficiency.
Rituximab. Increasingly, rituximab (anti-CD20) therapy is added to the initial steroids. Two clinical trials showed both increased long-term and short-term responses with the use of rituximab.8,9 An important consideration is that most patients respond gradually to rituximab over weeks, so a rapid response should not be expected. Most studies have used the traditional dosing of 375 mg/m2 weekly for 4 weeks. These responses appear to be durable, but as in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), repeat treatment with rituximab is effective.
The major side effects of rituximab are infusion reactions, which are often worse with the first dose. These reactions can be controlled with antihistamines, steroids, and, for severe rigors, meperidine. Rarely, patients can develop neutropenia (approximately 1:500) that appears to be autoimmune in nature. Infections appear to be only minimally increased with the use of rituximab.10 One group at risk is chronic carriers of hepatitis B virus, who may experience a reactivation of the virus that can be fatal. Thus, patients being considered for rituximab need to be screened for hepatitis B virus carrier state.11 Patients receiving rituximab are at very slight risk for progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, which is more common in patients with cancer and in heavily immunosuppressed patients. The overall risk is unknown but is less than 1:50,000.

Sell Calls Over
A great strategy to generate income on stocks you are comfortable short selling if they move to higher prices.
Bearish, but usually selected if a huge downside move is not expected.
Sell a call option with a strike price above the current price of the stock (usually one or two strikes higher).
Example: XYZ at $60. Sell the $65 call options for $0.70

We would like to bring more light into our living room by creating a new window opening. My husband took me to Lowes to show me a regular 36x36 window, but while we were browsing, we noticed a decorative window that we both liked and probably would be a wonderful upgrade.We would not want crown molding around the inside of the window. Could you please give us an estimate for installing this window and for just regular window without the arch. We have brick house and live in Beulah.
First off, cutting a hole into brick is expensive and must be done correctly. Using the correct tools is very important for the job of cutting through brick, you'll need a contractor whose specialty is cutting through brick and or cement. Before that, do you have the construction blue prints for your house?. The area that you just want to cut a hole into may be a load bearing wall, it may contain electric lines ,waterlines, gas lines, you don't just cut and then hit trouble., You may need permits to create an opening where one does not exist, it may require your neighbors permission and or a town hall vote, check with your local buildings department before anything . Picking a window and an installer should be the last two things of this process.

I sort of doubt if Beulah window installers monitor this website regularly, so I will give you a ballpark, and then you can Search the List (in green banner bar) to find local Door and Window vendors and their reviews. You are very specific about what you want - I would say you are ready to contact window installers for bids.
I can tell you when I did this in my house - two 30x36 casement opening windows plus a 30 highx60 inch wide eyebrow window in a reading loft, the cost difference was only about 20% more expensive PER SQUARE FOOT for the curved eyebrow configuration than rectangular window - non-opening of course. I did installation myself so my cost is irrelevant, but installation for an eyebrow is not really greater than a regular window - you just cut a different shape opening, and maybe configure the header a bit different.
You say you want no crown molding - there actually would not normally be a crown molding around a window, just window molding or window trim. However, you are going to need some sort of molding/trim - usually a factory-made one-piece curved trim that comes with the window to fit over the frame-drywall gap, and continues on with matching trim down to the sill. The outside brick mold may be integral to the window or come separate also.
Since you are talking new opening, ASSUMING there are no utility relocations needed (electric wires, pipes, etc), the window cost is probably about $700-1500 depending on and whether single or double or triple pane. Installation probably about $300-800 depending on outside wall materials and how high you are off the ground with this window - above ground floor obviously a bunch more due to handling issues. Add another $200 or so for drywall repair and repaint (due to header installation) and outside trim paint - more if need full-wall repaint inside to exact match, or if panelling or hardwood wall surfacing inside.

Hello! If you find a good company, it will cost around 300 dollars. I can recommend the company for installing windows from http://windowtechcanada.ca/ I think they can offer a very nice price for you. I ordered windows and doors from them a couple of times, I was satisfied with the quality and work done. I recommend!

Lucks - have you actually gotten a roughly 30x55 inch arch-topped new window opening plus installation in a brick wall for $300 ? Or did you miss the brick house portion of the question ? I would be thinking in the $500-600 range including the opening, steel reinforcing liner, and window install - not including the window cost itself, of course.

vinyl casement window 29 3/4 x 55 would cost $520 installed. See window price calculatorhttp://www.window-man.ca/calculator.jsp Creating an opening would cost extra. Better talk to bricklayers.

Motorists in Lagos on Sunday expressed huge dissatisfaction with the Federal Ministry of Works, Power and Housing over the abysmal handling of construction work on Lagos roads, especially on Third
Mainland Bridge and Kara bridge, saying that the action called to question the ability of those in charge to handle matters professionally.
A cross section of the motorists, who spoke to our correspondent about the development, said the negligent manner with which some of the construction works in Lagos were being handled leaves much to be desired of a government that is ready to carry out its responsibilities without subjecting the people to needless and avoidable inconveniences.
They urged the Minister in charge of the ministries, Mr. Babatunde Fashola and the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) to wake up from 'their slumber' and do the needful by going about their duties with utmost regard for the people.
A motorist, Mr Samuel Arogundade said ever since the repair work started on Third Mainland Bridge some few weeks back, he has been subjected to untold hardship courtesy of the manner the construction is being handled.
He said: "I think Mr Fashola and his men should wake up from their slumber and scant regard for safety to handle their duties professionally. Look at the other day, a serious accident occurred on the bridge involving about ten vehicles. The accident left many injured and it was because the construction was not handled professionally.
"The construction company left their equipment on the bridge without any iota of consideration for safety and their negligible action caused the accident.
"Apart from the accident, many of us who ply the route daily have been subjected to needless traffic gridlock which is not proper in a city that time is very important to all of us being a city with a lot of business activities," Joseph said.
Another motorist, Mrs Abidemi Olakunle said it was time for the Federal Government to do things properly.
"Look for instance, Lagos State Government has constructed four lay-bys in Oworonshoki axis to ease vehicular movement in an out of Third Mainland Bridge. The lay-bys and segregated bus stops have greatly helped to reduce travel time inward and outward Lagos Island but since the Federal Government started repair work on the bridge, they have frustrated all the successes recorded via the efforts of the State Government.
"Another thing is that the repair work they are carrying out on the bridge has not even yielded positive impact because up till now, they have removed the asphalt of some sections of the bridge and they are yet to put other ones there. They should just sit up and finish their work on time," she said.

Myanmar violence: Rebel leader's return sparks Kokang battle
By Jonah Fisher
BBC News, Myanmar
- Published
A rebel leader's surprise return to Myanmar has led to violence and misery for thousands in the country's north-east, which has seen heavy fighting between rebels and government troops.
We see our first sign of the fighting by the side of the road.
A battered old truck full of frightened migrant workers has pulled over and a small crowd has gathered.
The driver and his assistant, an off-duty police officer, are pointing to a small mark on the bonnet.
They explain that it is a bullet hole from when their convoy came under attack.
The truck was helping evacuate civilians from the Kokang town of Laukkai, and was targeted despite flying a Red Cross flag.
Neither the Burmese army nor the rebels will admit to firing the shots, but most of the evidence does point to the rebels.
Three hours further down the road we reach the border town of Chin Shwe Haw and are greeted by the Burmese military. There is a state of emergency in the special region of Kokang and we are lucky to have been allowed in.
The soldiers are nervous and demand we delete video footage we had just taken of a convoy of green pickup trucks on their way to fight in Laukkai. There have been no clashes in Chin Shwe Haw yet, but the town has been abandoned.
The streets are empty and the shops closed. Stray dogs lie in piles of rubbish, no doubt wondering what the fuss is all about.
But not everyone has gone. We watch as a Kokang woman called Xue Xue lugs her suitcase towards the border with her young daughter.
She starts to tell us that she is leaving because she is scared of the soldiers, before two men in plain clothes appear. Our interview is very quickly over.
The Kokang are recognised as an ethnic group in Myanmar but in language and culture they are very much Chinese. In this special region you can use a Chinese phone network and spend Chinese money.
In all it is thought that 30,000 Kokang have fled across the border.
As we wait for permission to film, a group of about 20 men, women and children stumble exhausted into town. The soldiers sit them down and food is brought out.
They are not Kokang but a mix of other ethnic groups.
Many had been working as labourers on sugar cane plantations inside the special region. Like many of the Kokang they initially fled into China, but after two days on foot they had now crossed back into Myanmar.
A truck is summoned, and within half an hour it is loaded and takes them away from the conflict zone.
'Much surprise'
The creation of the Kokang Special Region dates back to the collapse of the Burmese Communist Party in 1989.
In return for peace the Burmese government gave splinter groups like the Wa and the Kokang pieces of land and a large degree of autonomy.
For leaders like Kokang's Phone Kya Shin this was the green light to expand already prodigious arms and drug-trafficking networks.
After a long and lucrative period left to his own devices, the government eventually tired of Kya Shin and in particular his refusal to integrate his rebels into a national border guard force.
In August 2009 the army launched a brief incursion into Kokang and Kya Shin and his army were forced to flee into China.
A more compliant Kokang administration was put in place and for the last five years the situation has been calm. Not much was heard of Kya Shin, though rumours circulated periodically that the octogenarian was either sick or had died.
Then late last year, to much surprise, Kya Shin and his rebel group re-emerged.
Several clashes took place inside Myanmar and in a rare (and quickly deleted) interview with China's Global Times he promised to "confront the Tatmadaw (Burmese army) until we reclaim Kokang".
Since 9 February there has been a sustained period of fighting around Laukkai with the rebels inflicting heavy casualties on the army.
If Kya Shin's aim is to fight his way back to the negotiating table early signs are he may have miscalculated. The scale of the fighting has shocked many people, several of whom already have little sympathy for a group they see as being essentially Chinese.
Sensing an opportunity to bang the patriotic drum, President Thein Sein declared that the army "will not lose an inch of Myanmar territory".
They are words that upset the Kokang as they imply he doesn't regard the rebels as truly Burmese.
As we waited to leave Kokang Special Region the local army commander told me he expected the campaign to take a month.
The experience of Myanmar's many armed ethnic conflicts is that it may take much longer than that.
