OECD Social, Employment and Migration Working Papers No. 198, 20 June 2017
186 pp. 5.4 MB
This paper presents an overview of the socio-economic situation of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender and intersex people (LGBTI), primarily in OECD countries. After investigating the size of this population, the paper zooms in on attitudes toward LGBTI, LGBTI rights and perceived discrimination among LGBTI. It goes on to discuss the empirical strategies used to identify whether LGBTI fare worse than non-LGBTI and provides a systematic review of survey-based and experimental evidence on such an "LGBTI penalty" and its causes.

Well kind of … I've spent the morning tearing my hair out, trying to take half decent bead photographs. The light is so dull that's it's almost impossible to get a decent image that doesn't need photoshopping half to death.
So how's it been going since I last posted ?
Slow – ish really. Steady, but slow. I think that when my partner first lost his job, I kind of panicked and threw myself into accepting every sniff of a commission, but then I started struggling to keep to deadlines, so I had to apologise to a few customers and slow down a little bit.
My biggest problem / fear is creative burnout. The pressure on me to be creative and productive when I am the sole earner in the family can be horrendous at times, but regardless of how I might be feeling, the bills still have to be paid, so I try and just plod on most of the time.
If it wasn't for all of my wonderful customers though, my mortgage and other bills simply wouldn't get paid, so I shouldn't really complain. I feel privileged to be able to sell what I enjoy making so much
So other life stuff … I still have a bad shoulder. The physiotherapist thinks it's tendonitis, and is giving me some exercises to do. It's not much better yet, but I haven't lost any more movement, so that has to be positive.
I just wish that when it hurts, it didn't hurt quite so much.
My middley had his birthday at the weekend …. 13 already …. teenager number 2 to try to survive, LOL
He's getting so grown up now … he went bowling with a friend instead of me taking him bowling .. I guess that at 13, bowling with Mum just isn't the done thing anymore *sigh*
The whole family pooled his birthday money and he is now the owner of his very first console ! It's so quiet here now, haha …. I wouldn't normally allow him to spend hours at a stretch on it, but it's new, and it's half term, so I'll let him have his fun for now
Anyway … that's pretty much it from me for now… so I'll round up today's post with a few new bead pictures
If you got this far, reading … congratulations ! LOL

There are times I really doubt that businesses care about my concerns or praises. I am of the mindset that they are there to provide a service for a cost and as long as I receive that service, they have done their job. Sure, there are times that receiving a service is delayed or the result is not the one desired, but for the most part, things work out in the end. If I am not satisfied with a service provider, I will move to another one. A few recent events have me convinced that companies that focus on service quality along with final result quality deserve to be the winners and should be what all companies strive for.
One of our vehicles needed an oil change and I took it to our usual place. A few minutes after I walked in one of the attendants saw my vehicle, approached me, and very apologetically explained that the type of oil needed for the car was out of stock due to heavy demand over the weekend. He could have left it at that and I probably would have come back another day. Instead, he said, "we have another location, it's a few miles away, but I can call them and make sure they have the oil in stock if you need it done today". A phone call later and I was on my way to the other location. It took the attendant a total of five minutes to make my day a little easier. Some people may not want to drive further, but I needed the oil change before going out of town, so it was a welcome extra bit of service.
In an opposite example, a recent experience with Continental Airlines had to be resolved by going through outside channels, rather than having an issue resolved by the agents who created it. I had made a number of bookings for our Christmas trip and since I was not able to find availability to Miami to start it, I decided to focus my energy on refining another booking I had made From Austin to Boston to Munich. I had found better availability through Seattle and onward to Frankfurt and called in to make the change. The agent was helpful but said that there was no availability from Seattle to Frankfurt, even though I could see it. I asked to be transferred to the electronic support desk to see what the issue was.
The agent I was connected to was very helpful and quickly had a Lufthansa representative on the phone, trying to sort out the problem. Eventually, I was told that the Lufthansa representative was going to do some work on the ticket and that the Continental agent would add my new segments into my reservation to hold them while leaving my original segments intact. The helpful Continental agent also took my phone number, telling me she would give me a call on Monday and if I didn't hear from her, to call back as my record had notations added explaining the issue.
Monday rolled around and I had not heard anything, so that afternoon I called Continental. The agent saw the notations and called Lufthansa again. This time, she assured me that they were working it out and after I convinced her that I did not want to fly business class to Berlin-Tegel and take the train to Dresden, she started to confirm my existing reservation. A few minutes later and my old flights had been removed and replaced with my desired flights, minus the segment that Lufthansa was working on. Again, she assured me that that flight would pop in whenever Lufthansa fixed it and that I was good to go.
Fast forward to Tuesday evening. Nothing had posted from Lufthansa and when I called back to Continental and asked for a supervisor, I was put on hold, then told they were contacting Lufthansa, and eventually hung up on. I called again later and received the same result. The result of all of this was me having a ticket from Austin to Seattle, then from Frankfurt to Dresden and that was it. Panicked, I contacted a corporate representative I know and while driving to meet up with Family on Wednesday I received a call from a Continental agent that my ticket had been fixed.
Why did it have to happen this way? Why was I required to go to a corporate contact, who I know has more important things going on? Why did the agents fail to shoot straight with me and end up leaving me with what amounted to a worthless ticket?
Will I stop flying Continental because of this one incident? No, but the entire incident was unnecessary and could have been avoided, saving me time and Continental resource hours. It came down to agents not wanting to put in the work required to fix the ticket and instead, passing me off to other agents, hoping someone else would figure it out.
I'll leave you with one more positive example. While in Chicago I have been jumping around to different hotels on each stay. One week, I stayed at the Hyatt Regency. The room was nice and quiet, the only downside was that for some reason, the internet was not working. I tweeted about it and within an hour I had a reply from the Hyatt's Twitter account. I was at work but when I returned to my room there was a phone message from a hotel manager, asking about my issue and when a good time would be for them to check it out. Needless to say, I will be staying at the Hyatt more often.
Is all of this to say that I want businesses constantly following up with each Twitter complaint? I am not even sure that's feasible. There is only so much a person with a Twitter account can do. Writing in 140 characters is not the most fun, so getting on the phone with the customer or sending an e-mail is definitely a way of escalating an issue. No, what I want is service industries to be more service oriented. Even if delivering bad news, I want businesses to think about how they deliver such news and what they can do to turn a negative into a positive.
Some of these things are training issues, others are tied to the types of personalities your business hires. If you are just trying to put a body in a chair then you may just be doing it wrong. I do not need or require "bow to me" service, I simply desire respect, honesty with candor, and a clearly defined method of escalating issues. If your business nails those things, even without social media, it will be worlds ahead of the competition.

VICTORVILLE � A Pennsylvania man and woman appeared in Victorville Superior Court Tuesday to face charges of alleged child abduction and kidnapping, officials said.
Former Apple Valley residents James John Culbert, 39, and Sara Culbert, 32, have been charged with two counts of kidnapping and two counts of child abduction, San Bernardino County District Attorney's officials said.

The couple had been arrested by the Pottsville Police Department on a kidnapping warrant obtained by the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office for abducting their two biological children.
The children, who became dependants of the court in April 2009, were also recovered and returned to California.
If convicted, James Culbert faces up to 25 years in prison and Sara Culbert faces up to 25 years in prison.

Once the installation is done and its working (Test presentation catalog), try to open some of OBIEE client tools like Job Manager…etc., they don't open
This is because in Windows there is wrong value set to ODBC System DSN Driver and Setup parameter is not created. Let's fix these two issues…
1. ODBC System DSN
Go to Start–> type regedit and press enter
a popup dialog box will be opened. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE –> SOFTWARE –> ODBC –> ODBC.INI –> coreapplication_XXXXXXXXXXXXX
In the right pane all the related parameters are shown. Double click on the Driver parameter and change value data to: C:\MW_OBI\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\server\bin\NQSODBC64.dll (it was pointing to the wrong dll i.e. NQSODBC.dll)
After installing OBIEE11g on windows 64 bit installation, the ODBC System DSN is set with a wrong driver file path on Microsoft Windows x64 with the following details.
2. Setup parameter
Like ODBC, Setup parameter is also pointing to the wrong dll or Setup parameter was not created at all. If it is created and pointing to wrong dll edit the value data to: C:\MW_OBI\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\server\bin\nqssetup64.dll ( it was pointing to nqssetup.dll)
If Setup parameter was not created, carete it (right click –> New –> String Value) and add the value data.
Now go to Start –> All Programs –> Oracle Business Intelligence and see all applications have got Oracle icon.
That's it…I will write my next post on How to remove OBIEE 11g from Windows7 as I am going to remove it what I've just installed

New 'Transformers' Animated Movie In The Works, But...
Michael Bay's five live-action Transformers movies will be the only version of the "Robots in Disguise" that many people know. To me that's pretty sad. While those films have grossed more than $4B worldwide, ask a longtime fan and they'll tell you the definitive Transformers movie remains 1986' animated Transformers: The Movie. It's been a long wait for there to be another one on the big screen, but Hasbro has confirmed it is happening. However, one detail could spoil the whole thing for a big group of fans.
Hasbro confirmed the news today at an investor event, adding Transformers to other animated projects such as My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and Stretch Armstrong. After the first Transformers movie they will then move into an annual release pattern similar to how Disney does with Star Wars.
The catch? These movies will be set within the current universe created by Michael Bay. Whomp whomp. So we won't get the cool Hot Rod, we'll get the Pepe Le Pew version of Hot Rod seen in Transformers: The Last Knight. We won't get cool, menacing Soundwave, we'll get whatever that thing calling itself Soundwave was in Bay's flicks.
With The Last Knight earning roughly half of what the previous two movies earned, it's clear the franchise needs a facelift. I'm not sure this is the best way to go about it, but then I'm biased. Transformers: The Movie forever!! Bay NEVER put together a scene nearly as awesome as the one below. [TFW2005]

Caring for Your Senior Cat
Cats are considered senior at around age seven.
This is around the age where you may notice your cat is starting to slow down a little. He may sleep more. He gets sick or hurt more easily and will take longer to recover.
There are ways that you can keep him safe, healthy and happy as he approaches his golden years.
Here are some tips:
Visit the vet at least once a year for checkups. A vet visit should include blood work and urinalysis so that his internal organs can be monitored. You want to catch health issues early in cats. Diseases creep up gradually. And cats are stoic creatures who hide their pain. Before you realize something is wrong, it can be too late to do anything about it.
As a cat owner, you should be keeping an eye on your little fur ball and noting any changes. It is a good idea to keep journal of his regular routine and behavior.
Keep an eye on things like:
- how much he eats.
- favorite activities
- words or sounds he reacts too, the sound of a can opener for example
- sleep pattern
- what he usually meows at
- the condition of his fur and claws
- look inside his ears and eyes
- his weight
Any changes should be mentioned at your next vet visit.
During your cat's senior years, there will be a gradual loss of muscle mass and bone density. As her bones weaken, she will be more prone to fractures. If she is older than 13, she is considered geriatric and she will recover more slowly from any fractures.
Sometimes it can be tough to tell if your cat is hurt. They tend to hide their pain. Perhaps they think it is a sign of weakness. Here are some signs to look for:
- she refuses to move
- she becomes irritable, especially if you touch her
- she stops jumping up on things or climbing stairs
- she quits grooming herself
- she hides from you
If your cat seems to be in pain:
Make life a little easier for your sore cat. Have a litter box on each floor so they don't have to climb stairs. Keep food and water where they can easily reach them. And bring them to the vet as soon as possible.
Bone and muscle loss can be prevented. Try to get them up and exercising. Catnip, cat toys and laser pointers can get them playing. Aim for 10-20 minutes of playtime a couple of times a day to strengthen their bones and muscles.
Signs of Hearing or Vision Loss
All cats begin to suffer from visual and hearing imparment as they get older.
Hearing loss is hard to tell in cats. They don't always come when we call them, even if their hearing is perfectly fine. You may notice that they do not react to sounds like they used to, like the sound of the can opener for example. They may startle more easily, especially if you pet them before they see you first. They may also begin to meow incessantly.
Cats can develop nuclear schorosis as they age. Their lenses get harder and they can't see as well up close. If you look at their pupils, they may be bluish or milky looking. Some cats develop cataracts or glaucoma, which can cause blindness.
If your cat does go blind, he probably knows his way around the house and yard pretty well by now. Just block off any stairs and don't go moving any furniture around. Keep them indoors if possible.
This kitty has feline cognitive dysfunction.
Even your kitty's brain changes with age.
They can develop feline cognitive dysfunction.This is a disorder where the cats have alzheimer-like symptoms.
Signs of feline cognitive dysfunction:
- your cat seems to get lost in his own house
- forgets to use the litter box
- howls incessantly
- displays anxiety
- personality changes
Their looks change too.
Your cat's fur is soft and furry and fun to pet, but it also serves an important purpose. It is a protective barrier that regulates his body temperature. It shields him from the extremes of weather and from viruses, bacteria and other disease carrying pathogens.
As your kitty cat ages, his skin may get thinner and less flexible. His fur will get duller and dryer because of less oil production. It is important to keep him inside during extreme weather conditions because he will not be as protected from freezing weather.
Even if her fur is getting a little thinner, a healthy cat will still spend 50% of her waking life grooming herself.
If she stops grooming, that is a warning sign. She may be sick or in pain. She may be physically unable to stretch or twist herself to groom properly, maybe due to obesity or arthritis.
You may have to keep her clean and combed. It is a good way to look for fleas, ticks or fungus infection, like ringworm. You can also be looking for any lumps or sores that may need medical attention.
So there you have some of the changes your cat could be going through as he ages. Remember to visit your vet if you have any concerns at all about your cat's health. Lots of times if you catch things early enough, they are easier to treat. If you wait too long it may be impossible.
Take care of your cats and they will live a long and happy life.
Yes I have two cats - Little Miss Tiffy and Mister Gabriel-they both love your hubs BUT only after eating and a little nap!
The gray cat is beautiful! Excellent info here!
This hub was very useful. I have a 15 yr old and a 16 yr old cat. They are both very healthy. They have never been sick or had any problems. I watch them very closely. I lost their precious sister awhile back to internal bleeding. No signs of illness, one day she was sick, and gone the next:( She was my heart. Keeping up with vet appointments is essential. It is hard to read articles like these sometimes. But they are very useful, the info is spot on.
Great hub. I have one who's 18 and in chronic renal failure. It's been a difficult road, but she's hanging in there surprisingly well. Anyway, great hub full of lots of important information. I love the cat on the treadmill!!!
Great advice. It can be so sad when your pet is failing but old age strikes us all. They just need that extra special care.
Gosh, while reading your article I realized my son's cat is getting into her senior years. I'm going to send him here to read what you so nicely wrote.
I have had cats all my life but Lilly I have now is 16 years old and you would never guess to look at her. She is an indoor/outdoor cat. I have a picture or two of her at my hubs, she did get into something to cause her bad allergies a few years and her eyes looked dark a lot, the contact lens drops my daughter recommended fixed her eyes up in a few days and even stopped her wheezing! I raised her on Friskies with occasional tuna and chopped garlic every few days. The garlic keeps fleas off her and she does not get worms. Welcome. Polly

Sena medal for 3 soldiers part of team that gunned down Hizb's Burhan Wani
Tucked away in the remote hills of south Kashmir, the Rashtriya Rifles unit was celebrating as three of its soldiers, who were part of the team that gunned down militant commander Burhan Wani, were awarded the Sena Medal.india Updated: Jan 26, 2017 20:12 IST
Tucked away in the remote hills of south Kashmir, the Rashtriya Rifles unit was celebrating as three of its soldiers, who were part of the team that gunned down militant commander Burhan Wani, were awarded the Sena Medal. Wani's killing plunged the Valley into a welter of violence for months after his death in July last year.
Major Sandeep Kumar led the July 8 operation following "actionable" intelligence input that Sartaj Aziz and two other militants were hiding in a house in Bumdoora village.
The village, 18km southeast of Anantnag, was cordoned off but the news of army's presence had already leaked. Amid protesting crowds, the team stormed into the house where all the militants were killed in the encounter.
It was a long wait for Major Kumar, Captain Manik Sharma and Naik Arvind Singh Chauhan before they could lead their team in storming the house where the militants were holed up.
Leading the assault team, Captain Sharma and two others even made an attempt to enter the house as Major Kumar stood behind them, ready to provide cover fire. However, they had to retreat amid heavy stone-pelting by the villagers.
Major Kumar and his team made another attempt to storm the house and the militants opened a burst of gunfire.
Aziz made an unsuccessful attempt to escape, but was shot dead.
Time was running fast and two more militants, who were believed to be inside, were to be accounted for.
As violent protests grew more and more intense, Major Kumar sent for the local 'Imam' whose services were to be used to calm the villagers.
With light fading away fast, there were no signs of villagers' aggression or numbers diminishing.
The valiant Major and his men then decided to storm the house but came under a hail of fire from two militants who attempted to escape.
Militant Pervaiz Ahmad Lashkari was seen firing while shielding a man and pushing him towards a nearby apple orchard. Lashkari was gunned down in retaliatory fire by the crack team, which also challenged the lone surviving militant. He, too, was soon sprawled on the floor, dead.
It was later discovered that the last militant killed was Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani, a popular resurgent militant leader in Kashmir who carried a bounty of Rs 10 lakh on his head.

IRS Issues Final Regulations on Automatic Contribution Arrangements
In Depth
Employers that are contemplating or currently provide a QACA or EACA plan should review their plan documents and administrative processes for compliance with these final regulations.
The Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations on qualified automatic contribution arrangements (QACAs) under Section 401(k)(13) of the tax code and eligible automatic contribution arrangements (EACA) under Section 414(w) of the tax code. QACAs and EACAs are two types of automatic contribution arrangements created under the Pension Protection Act of 2006. Under an automatic contribution arrangement, a participant is automatically enrolled in the Section 401(k) plan at a specified default contribution percentage unless the participant affirmatively declines enrollment or enrolls at a different contribution level. The final regulations do not affect an automatic contribution arrangement unless this arrangement is intended to be a QACA or EACA.
The final regulations retained one important aspect of the proposed regulations, requiring that both QACAs and EACAs be adopted prior to the beginning of a plan year. In other words, neither a QACA or EACA may be adopted mid-year. Although retaining this feature of the proposed regulations, the final regulations adopted numerous other changes from the proposed regulations for both QACAs and EACAs as described in more detail below.
Modifications Affecting EACAs
The final regulations clarified several aspects that relate to implementing an EACA and aspects that relate to permitted withdrawals from an EACA. An EACA generally has two distinguishing features. First, an EACA plan may allow an automatically enrolled participant to withdraw his or her initial contributions made within the first 90 days after the compensation would have been included in income. Second, if an EACA plan fails the actual deferral percentage (ADP) test or the actual contribution percentage (ACP) test under Sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the tax code, an EACA plan can make corrective distributions up to six months after the end of the plan year, rather than the customary two and a half months after the end of the plan year, without incurring the 10 percent employer excise tax.
Implementing an EACA
Like the proposed regulations, the final regulations provide that an EACA plan must annually notify employees of the automatic enrollment features between 90 to 30 days before the plan year begins. The final regulations clarify that the required EACA notice will be timely if provided to a newly eligible employee at least prior to the pay date for first payroll period that the employee becomes eligible.
In order to implement an EACA, the final regulations add a new requirement that the plan document designate the specific employees covered by the EACA. Although the plan document can provide that employees who make an affirmative deferral election are no longer covered by the EACA and thus no longer need to receive the annual EACA notice, an EACA plan can utilize the extended six-month period for correcting ADP and ACP failures only if all eligible employees receive the EACA notice and are covered under the EACA for the entire plan year.
The final regulations allow an EACA plan to establish separate EACAs for groups that must be separately tested for nondiscrimination purposes, such as collectively bargained employees and employees of different employers in a multiple employer plan. This clarification allows an EACA plan to apply different default contribution levels for union and non-union employees.
Withdrawals from an EACA
An employee covered under an EACA may elect to withdraw default contributions within 90 days after the first default contribution would have otherwise been included in income. Under the final regulations, the EACA plan may adopt a shorter withdrawal election period as long as the election period is at least 30 days. The final regulations also allow a rehired employee who is re-enrolled in a plan at a default contribution level to withdraw new default contributions as long as the rehired employee had not made default contributions for at least a full plan year.
The final regulations also clarify that the withdrawal of default contributions under an EACA plan should be processed per the plan's normal withdrawal rules, with one exception. The EACA withdrawal must be effective no later no later than the earlier of the pay date for the second payroll after the withdrawal election, or the first pay date occurring at least 30 days after the withdrawal election. If an EACA withdrawal occurs, and if a matching contribution previously was made on withdrawn amounts, then the corresponding matching contribution must be forfeited and must be adjusted for allocable gains or losses. In addition, the final regulations allow an EACA plan to make no matching contributions on withdrawn amounts if the deferral contribution is withdrawn before the matching contribution is made.
Modifications Affecting QACAs
A QACA plan is a type of automatic contribution arrangement that is deemed to automatically satisfy the ADP and ACP tests because it mandates automatic default contributions for eligible employees at specified levels and because it meets certain QACA notice, employer contribution and other requirements. With regard to required matching and non-elective contributions under a QACA, the final regulations clarify that these contributions are ineligible for a hardship withdrawal. In addition to clarifying withdrawals, the final regulations provide more details on requirements that relate to QACA elections and contributions and to QACA notices.
Notices Under a QACA
A QACA plan must provide each eligible employee a notice of automatic default enrollment and default investment within a reasonable period before each plan year. For a newly eligible employee, the final regulations provide that the QACA notice is timely if it is provided before the pay date for the first payroll period in which the employee becomes eligible to participate in the plan. With regard to any automatic default enrollment that follows the QACA notice, the default contribution must be effective no later than the earlier of the pay date for the second payroll period beginning after the date the notice is provided, or the first pay date that occurs at least 30 days after the notice is provided.
Elections and Contributions Under a QACA
The final regulations dictate that any matching or non-elective contributions made under a QACA must be based on a definition of compensation that meets the prescribed requirements of Section 414(s) of the tax code and that does not discriminate in favor of highly compensated employees. This new contribution requirement is effective for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2010. In addition, matching contributions and non-elective contributions that are based on employee contributions for a full year must include all compensation earned after the participant became eligible under the plan, which could include compensation prior to the date of the employee's first default contribution or first other elected contribution.
In calculating contributions, a QACA plan may provide that an employee's prior affirmative election expires, allowing the QACA plan to automatically enroll the employee unless the employee makes a new subsequent election to decline enrollment. The QACA plan also may increase the default contribution percentage in the middle of the plan year, as long as the default contribution percentage for all participants is uniform based on the number of years or partial years since the employee's first default contribution. This allows a plan to increase the default contribution percentage to coincide with mid-year salary increases or performance evaluations. The final regulations clarify that scheduled increases to the default contribution percentage apply regardless of whether the employee is eligible to make deferral contributions. For example, if a scheduled increase in automatic default contributions occurs during the six-month suspension following a hardship distribution, then the QACA plan applies the higher default contribution percentage following such suspension. Finally, a QACA plan may apply the default contribution percentage applicable to a new employee to a rehired employee, provided that the rehired employee made no default contributions for an entire plan year.
Effective Dates and Next Steps
Generally, except as noted above, the final regulations relating to QACAs apply for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2008. The final regulations relating to EACAs apply for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2010. Prior to the 2010 plan year, the plan must operate in accordance with good faith interpretation of the EACA requirements and may rely on either the proposed regulations or the final regulations.
Employers that either are contemplating or currently provide a QACA or EACA plan should review their plan documents and administrative processes for compliance with these final regulations. In many cases, plan amendments will be needed to comply with the final regulations or to take advantage of additional flexibility available under the final regulations.

Hello….I really think I may have a virus that has destroyed the bootsect on my drive making it un-detectable to the computer!!!!
I cannot boot into the WinRE via a disk or partition at all!
[How It All Started] Over a month ago, the left button on my Elan Touchpad just randomly quit working. I have an Asus K52Jc Laptop with Intel i5 processor and a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 500GB HDD that is just over 3 years old. I have been running Webroot Secure Everywhere AV for all of this time and have never had a problem with a virus/rootkit of any kind before this random problem. Therefore, I thought that maybe I just needed to upgrade the driver for the touchpad.
So I went to http://support.asus.com and downloaded the newest driver and install it…this didn't fix the left button issue. So, I rolled back the driver and tried another Elan Touchpad driver...still didn't fix the problem. Next, I took a look in the registry to see what the values were for the touchpad features…(to see if somehow the left button had been disabled)...and I found a lot of weird values...instead of 0's, 1's, or 2's, I found a couple of 13's, a 14 value and many that were 3's and 4's!!! Weird!!! So I ran a scan with Webroot to see if maybe I had a virus of some sort…it just found a few pup files, but nothing that looked staggeringly dangerous!
[Mistake #1] While searching for answers, I saw something about AVG's PCTune-Up Utilities 2014…(I hate to say it…but I think I found it from a "google advertisement" that happened to be on bleepingcomputer.com), so I started doing research on it & read a bunch of info about it that seemed pretty good at the time so I downloaded their trial (7 days...I think!)
Well, it ran a bunch of tests and found a lot of errors, broken links, junk files, empty folders, etc. and it either got rid of then, or quarantined them. After that, the computer really seemed to be doing a lot better, but that stupid left touchpad button still wasn't working. (I know…I SHOULD have asked for help at this point!!!)
[Mistake #2] Well, since I had found all those strange values in the registry, I decided to do the "Registry Cleaner Utility" included in the AVG Utilities to see if it could find the error that was causing the left button to not function…(YES…I know...They are NEVER RECOMMENDED by most support people!!! Wish I had known that BEFORE I ran the cleanup!!!)
Anyway...it found a lot of errors and said that they had all been fixed and that I needed to restart the computer...which I did. Then I got a message that there were quite a few drivers that needed to be updated. So I did the driver update. After that completed, it asked me to restart the computer. When it came back on, it loaded Windows fine for about 10 minutes and then just suddenly closed and started to reboot….when it came back on the second time, it went to a black SOD!!! (It's acting much like what this poster described, or maybe like this one, but I didn't want to try any of the fixes suggested with out being told to do so!!!) So, I don't know if it's viral, or related to a registry, or update item!!!
[One "Saving Grace"] I do have a Western Digital External Drive for my back up, but I'm not religious about doing then & unfortunately the back up is over a year and a half old!!! However, it does have a .vhd file of the Computer from 2013-02-13. It also has a BootSect.BAK, a Bootsect.exe.mui file in a "en-US" folder and a Recovery.dat file on it. There may even be an NTUSER.dat file in it, but I'd have to keep looking through the backup zip files for it. (There are over a Hundred zip files in the backup!) Even with those files...at this point, I wouldn't want to try and install any of them, without your help and guidance through the process (for fear I'd "F" it up even more!!!!)
[How I'm Connected Now] I have an old HP Win XP computer (on which I'm writing to you now) so I originally downloaded AVG's Repair Disk and made a bootable USB, but I had no idea what I was doing, so I started looking for help from AVG. What an absolute JOKE that was!!!
Furthermore…I would NEVER recommend using any of AVG's products, because I think their "Support Department" is, at best: extremely difficult to find (try finding a phone number that works to their India based agents), and at worst: an unintelligible, almost impossible to understand (because of their heavily accented & broken English) and completely useless "resource" (if you can call it that), unless you're willing to pay them for what their software messed up to begin with!!! To me…it's almost as bad as "ransomware"! (Just My Opinion!!!)
I called a ton of numbers to even find them and when I was finally able to speak to an AVG Tech, they wanted me to pay over $300 to "try" to fix my issues!!! A--holes...pay them to fix an issue that THEIR SOFTWARE had created!!! I told them they were crazy!!! Now I figure that it may have been a rootkit that was installed somehow, but still...I think they SHOULD have helped me...WITHOUT A CHARGE!!! Oh well...what's done is done!
[My Thoughts] Right now, it will not even read that the drive is installed. I don't think that the heads have gone bad, or that the drive itself has failed…I think something has just completely corrupted the entire Bootsect & MBR, because I can hear the seek-arm looking for the boot sector, and when it cannot find it, it quits, but the seek-arm is NOT stuck and platter IS spinning just fine. (I also took the cover off and watched it!!!)
[What I've Tried] Initially, I did try chkdsk and fdisk (I think…it's been over a month now!) and the drive initially showed up, but then all of the sudden it was gone…so maybe I messed it up further! Also...I have also tried the Partition MiniTool, TestDisk and PhotoRec, all to no avail, because as I said…it doesn't even show the hard drive at all anymore as being connected at all...as a dev/sda, dev/sda0 or dev/sda1!
When loading the AVG Repair Disk I have been able to see that it says "NTFS signature is missing"! AND "cannot mount dev/sda...boot mgr corrupt or missing"! Also, during the 'Startup Repair Diagnosis' I think I also got this error "0xc0000e9" And, in a 'Temp File' on the Desktop there's one that says it found the "Error Code = 0x15 Boot Mgr is missing or corrupt" (I think that's from when I had the drive in an external enclosure trying different tests!)
[I Got a "Matched Drive"] I was able to find another drive on eBay that was made within a month of mine and ALL of the data, firmware, etc. (including the numbers on the stickers on the PCBs) are the same as on mine!!! So when it got here, I swapped out the PCBs to see if it would be able to read the Boot Sector on that corrupt HD...it would not…but then again, that could have been because there was NO information on the RAM of that PCB yet...I'm not sure!!!
See, at that point, I had NOT restored my backup onto it, nor had it been formatted or partitioned yet (because I don't know how to do that!) So my thought process now is that maybe if I can "Restore" the backup from last year on that new drive, and THEN change out the PCBs…maybe it would actually see it…who knows!?!?!?! Or maybe you'll have a way to walk me through something else...like a software fix, and then that won't be necessary?!? I'm not sure!!!
I have also purchased "Recovery Software" and a "System Disk" from neosmart.net (neither of which did any good) and I bought "Recover My Files" from getdata.com (which did absolutely nothing either…it couldn't even see the drive either), so now I'm completely at a loss.
I have also taken the computer completely apart and cleaned every inch of it's insides (which was extremely dirty!) The point of doing this was to get to the CMOS button battery below the keyboard, because a tech I know suggested that taking it out for about 30 seconds which, he said, should reset the CMOS! But that didn't do anything to help the situation. (Stupidly, I just put the same one back in the board and then put it back together…I probably should have put a new one back in its place, but it's too much trouble now to take it all apart and put it back together again, just for that one little battery...unless you think it'll make a difference?!?!?)
[The Bottom Line] What it comes down to is that I'd REALLY like to be able to fix this drive if there is ANY POSSIBLE WAY and not lose all of that data from the last year and a half!!! Because, if I can't, it will devastating! I cannot tell you how many hours of work that is!
Oh...and since I cannot even boot the computer, except into Parted Magic, or to Hirens or one of those, I don't know if I could even run the Gmer or the DSS items on the Asus Computer, because it cannot find the HD, much less boot into Windows!!! But I could post the information that Parted Magic gives me in the "System Information" program if you need it. I've also been able to boot into MiniXP on the Hiren's Live Boot CD.
At the urging of my tech friend, I posted on techsupportforum.com…I did get a response from a tech…but without even trying ANYTHING at all, he told me the drive's shot and to just install from the backup and start from there on the new drive! Really frustrating!!! So, that support ticket is now closed. I have also downloaded a ton of things like Puppy, RuntimeLiveCD, Systemresccd, and a lot of others, but at this point I haven't tried to do anything with them, because I didn't want to make more of a mess of this thing without asking YOU GUYS first for your help and ideas…I now know now that's what I should have done to begin with!!!
[One Bit of Really Good News!!!] When I was booted into either Parted Magic or one of the programs on the Hiren's disk…the left button on the touchpad DID WORK!!! So, this tells me that, as I suspected, the problem is NOT A HARDWARE FAILURE…is has to be a software setting that "something", such as a virus, had changed the settings for the touchpad, making it partially unusable!
[Maybe More Good News] I forgot to mention, that when this drive was functional, I had stored all of the Windows files and all of the Program Files on the C: Partition...and all of my Data Files were on the other D: Partition! In other words, if I could only recover that D: Partition, I would have all of my files back from the last year and a half!!! I hope that helps in some way!!!
Currently, the newly purchased empty eBay drive (which has all the same numbers as the original corrupt drive: ST9500420AS, PN: 9HV144-286 & FW: 0003SDM1…even the numbers on the PCB stickers are identical!!!) is installed inside the ASUS computer. The original drive (the one with the corrupt Boot Sector) is in an external enclosure and connected via USB and I think it is showing up in Midnight Commander as the /sr0 drive but I can't be positive! Do I need to put it back inside the Asus before we proceed?
I also went to Tiger Direct and bought another 1 Terabyte Seagate SSHD that I thought about either installing as the main HD, once all of this is figured out…or I can just take it back for a refund, if we find that my drive can be saved, and then I'll used the one from eBay as another backup (or vice versa), or as extra storage in an external enclosure.
I know this is long, but…Thank You Soooo Much in advance for any help you can give me...I use this Asus computer for ALL of my work stuff and I am going to just be sick if y'all are unable to help me!!! Thanks again...Wendi

FLINT (AP) (11/06/2017) - High school graduates in Flint and four other Michigan communities could benefit from the state's "promise" scholarship program under legislation signed by Gov. Rick Snyder.
The Promise Zone law allows communities that secure enough private funding to use some state tax revenue to pay students' college tuition. The program is currently limited to 10 high-poverty areas.
The bill Snyder signed Monday in Flint - which is recovering from a water crisis - authorizes 15 zones.
Some $2 million in private donations have been announced for a "Flint Promise" initiative. Community leaders plan to make Flint graduates eligible for scholarships starting in fall 2018.
It is up to the Michigan Department of Treasury to certify a Promise Zone once certain qualifying conditions are met.

2/3 c. butter
1 1/2 c. white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, shortening and sugar. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt, stir into the creamed mixture until dough comes together. Roll dough into walnut sized balls and roll the balls in sugar. Place them on an unprepared cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
3. Bake cookies 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until bottom is light brown. Remove from baking sheets to cool on wire racks.
Note: we tired these for our Christmas Eve cookies for Santa. We tried rolling them out but that didn't work very well. They turned out best when rolled into balls as recipe suggests. They flattened into perfect cookies and we were still able to frost them for Santa. Also, the dough freezes well. Very yummy!! We used the Cream Cheese Frosting recipe to frost these.

It's not even Advent yet, and I already have all but one Christmas present planned. I don't know who of my family reads my blog, so I won't say what they are, but I am quite pleased with myself anyway. A lot of them are hand made, so they will probably be slow in the making, but my goal is to get all the bought ones bought by the time Advent begins.
However, all is not sunshine and roses over here. I am halfway done a paper due tomorrow, which I had really hoped would be done by now. Also, yesterday I got a paper back. I misspelled my professor's name all the way through. How humiliating. I guess this is God's way of keeping me humble!
Just about four or five more weeks of balancing schoolwork with regular life, and hopefully next semester will be a little bit less crazy. Hopefully.

"We have arrested nine labourers involved in illegal mining of coal in the past one week and seized six trucks involved in illegal transportation of coal," SP MK Dkhar said.
The arrest was made after they were caught red handed involving in taking out coal from coal mines during raids conducted by additional district magistrates, he said.
District authorities in at least two districts where coal mines are located have imposed Section 144 CrPC prohibiting mining of coal in violation of the NGT order passed in April last year.
Banned by the NGT for mining since April last year, transportation of coal was allowed for those which the expert committee had assessed the quantity and whose royalty had been paid to the government.
The NGT will conduct its next hearing tomorrow here in the state capital.

Fight Depression with Action
Fight Depression with Action
Depression can sneak up on you no matter what the season may be…it doesn't have to be holiday time for you to suffer from depression. All of us at one time or another have dealt with those feelings of depression, where the idea of trying to fight depression seems like an insurmountable task at the time. This hub was designed to provide some ideas to help you combat depression when it rears its ugly head.
The "moody blues" (no, not the band from the 70's) are basically a universal feeling. Nobody can ignore them. Music many times will feed into this feeling, and it can get overwhelming without us doing anything to try and combat it. Sometimes, the help of a therapist is recommended, when the situation is more severe and may require professional help. But other times, when dealing with the mild depression that confronts us all at times, it may be good to try the following actions that may help alleviate some of those blues:
Laughter is definitely the best medicine, as the old saying goes. Just laughing can help to relieve and release stress. Find a funny movie to watch, or some funny videos on YouTube. Get around people who have a humorous personality and just take some time to laugh about life. Try not to take yourself (or life) too seriously all the time.
Music can soothe the depressed soul, but it has to be the type of upbeat music that can lift your spirits, not the depressed and sullen music that can weigh you down. Even if you can find someone to dance with, that may make things even better. Music causes our very souls to respond a lot of times. Try to select songs that have a good "vibe" to them.
Fighting Depression
Doing housework a lot of times will clear your head and make you feel less depressed. When you know that your bathroom, living room, etc. is clean, it gives you a sense of joy and pride, because things just feel "in order". Do something, anything that moves your body and gets you in motion. This can be riding a bike, playing basketball, whatever it is to get your body moving. Just sitting and enjoying a sunset is an awesome thing to experience, and it keeps you in mind of how awesome the world around us really is.
There's an old saying that you should "count your blessings". Think of all the things that you have to be thankful for. Yeah, you may not have the best job, but be thankful that you are employed—there are millions of people right now that would do anything to get a job. You may not have all the things you desire to have yet, but take a look at what's already in your possession—you'll find that you have way more than you think. Do your best to remain thankful. A healthy dose of prayer never hurt anyone going through depression.
Last but not least, eat some ice cream!!! This is probably the best step of all. Ice cream makes everyone feel better.
Hopefully you have derived some benefit from this hub about how to fight depression with action. These steps are not the only ones you can take, but they can maybe be a catalyst that will help you get going in the right direction.

Many of my patients come to see me for their severe sinus headaches with pain, pressure, sinus congestion and pure misery. Most are surprised, if not shocked, when I tell them that their sinus headache is really a variation of a migraine attack in their sinuses. Some don't believe me at all. Many of these same patients can also have mild nausea, light or sound sensitivity. Some have none of these other symptoms. The true test lies in their response to an anti-migraine medication, whether an OTC or prescription medication. Some of my patients respond very well to Excedrin Migraine, a common OTC medication. Others respond to prescription medications for migraine, such as Imitrex.
A recent paper presented at the 111th meeting of the Triological Society's Combined Otolaryngology Spring Meeting, showed that a class of migraine aborting medications (tryptans) brought relief to more than 80% of sinus headache sufferers. They gave these people with normal CAT scans a 40 mg dose of eletriptan and another dose two hours later if not improved. Overall, 31 out of 38 patients achieved 50% or greater relief of symptoms, and another 8 went on to respond to a different type of tryptan medication (82% response total).
The study's findings mirror what I've been seeing in my practice for the past few years. What the presenters don't explain, however, is why these sinus headaches (migrianes) are happening. Again this is another example of covering up a symptom, without getting to the root cause of the problem. What I've found is that almost every one of these patients have problems sustaining deep sleep due to poor breathing at night. By helping them breathe and sleep better, helping them adjust their eating habits and timing, and by calming and relaxing the stress responses that builds up, patients overall feel much better.
Do you suffer from sinus or migraine headaches? If so, how much does it affect your life?

Jerry H. Bentley is professor of history at the University of Hawai'i and editor of the Journal of World History. He has written extensively on the cultural history of early modern Europe and on cross-cultural interactions in world history. His research on the religious, moral, and political writings of the Renaissance led to the publication of Humanists and Holy Writ: New Testament Scholarship in the Renaissance (1983) and Politics and Culture in Renaissance Naples (1987). His more recent research has concentrated on global history and particularly on processes of cross-cultural interaction. His book Old World Encounters: Cross-Cultural Contacts and Exchanges in Pre-Modern Times (1993) studies processes of cultural exchange and religious conversion before modern times, and his pamphlet Shapes of World History in Twentieth-Century Scholarship (1996) discusses the historiography of world history. His current interests include processes of cross-cultural interaction and cultural exchange in modern times. Herbert F. Ziegler is an associate professor of history at the University of Hawai'i. He has taught courses on world history for the last 19 years and is currently the director of the world history program at the University of Hawaii. For several years he also served as the book review editor of the Journal World History. His interest in twentieth-century European social and political history led to the publication of Nazi Germany's New Aristocracy (1990). He is at present working on a study that explores uncharted aspects of German society, especially the cultural manifestations of humor and satire in the Nazi era. His other current research project focuses on the application of complexity theory to a comparative study of societies and their internal dynamics.

President Barack Obama met with House and Senate leaders to push bills to regulate the finance industry. But with Wall Street paying $8 billion a year in New York City taxes, officials fear this rage against Wall Street will be another blow to new our already crippled economy.
Obama's crusade against Wall Street has gone political. The Obama-controlled Democratic National Committee has begun an ad campaign to rally support for a crackdown.
"Wall Street's risk and greed cost us trillions," one ad claims.
This as the president met with congressional leaders today to demand reforms.
"An unfettered market where people are taking huge risks and expecting taxpayers to bail them out when things go sour is simply not acceptable," Obama said recently.
But Mayor Michael Bloomberg and others fear that rage against Wall Street will go too far, hurting an industry as important to our state as oil is to Texas or corn is to Iowa.
"My goal is to see that strong, forwarded-looking legislation passes that makes sure the mistakes that Wall Street made don't happen again," Sen. Charles Schumer said.
"But at the same time many want to prevent it from being vindictive, punitive or harmful to New York."
Kathryn Wylde, president of the Partnership for New York City, said the business community is worried about the president's desire to break up big companies and curtail their activities.
"There's a line in the bill that would make credit rating agencies, which employ thousands of people in New York. It would make them cannon fodder for trial lawyers," Wylde said. "Make it much easier to sue them on a very unfair basis."
CBS 2 HD gauged how some New Yorkers feel.
"I think a lot of the Wall Street and a lot of the businesses need to have everybody see their books," said Vincent D'Elia of Hell's Kitchen.
"You do more sanctions on Wall Street they're going to get around them. Wall Street is going to be Wall Street. You're not going to fix Wall Street," added Martin Grumet of the Upper East Side.
"Everybody's losing money. There has to be something done," Veronica Julia of the Lower East Side said.
Banks and other financial services companies generate one quarter of all the taxes collected here, so anything that hurts their revenue really puts the squeeze on the City's economy.
The president also wants tighter controls on hedge funds and risky mortgage loans.

There has been a lot of whining and moaning in the media about President Trump's disposition towards our allies in NATO and the United Nations. They complain as though he's irreparably harmed our relationships with our allies, but the reality is that most of our most important relationships are not just in tact they are better than ever. From the Middle East, to Asia, and Eastern Europe – our international relationships are more secure than at any time in the last decade. Only in Western Europe are our relations strained – but the President can fix that, it just doesn't seem like the liberals or the media want him too.
However, even with liberal opposition, Western Europe may be coming around to President Trump's way of thinking.
Over the weekend the Secretary General of NATO, General Jens Stoltenberg, praised President Trump and his commitment to our allies in NATO. Stoltenberg even agreed with the President that Canada and Europe had neglected their defense responsibilities until President Trump brought the issue up. He also added that the rest of NATO was now working to increase their own defensive capabilities so that the United States would no longer need to bear so much of the burden.
Trending: Art of the Meal
The simple truth is that President Trump was right, the wealthy Western world (and NATO in particular) has come to rely too heavily on the United States military to protect them. While the USA is willing to stand with and defend our allies, those allies must also play an active role in their own defense.
Here's General Stoltenberg on CBS' Face the Nation praising President Trump:
John Dickerson: NATO has weathered difficulties, but they're — this isn't alone, the Paris agreement departure and there was also some confusion about the president's behavior at the NATO meeting. Do you believe that President Donald Trump believes in the mission of NATO?
General Jens Stoltenberg: Absolutely, partly because this is a treaty obligation and by all allies. It's part of the Washington treaty, the founding treaty of the alliance. Second, because he has, in meetings with me, in public when I met him in the White House last month, stated that he is committed to NATO and his security team has also stated that very clearly.
But more important is that the U.S. is now increasing their military presence in Europe for the first time since the end of the second — the Cold War. And the — and the president, President Trump, just suggested a 40 percent increase in funding for U.S. military presence in Europe. We — we will have a new armored brigade. We will have more training, more equipment, more infrastructure. So actions speak louder than words and we've seen how actions, meaning increased U.S. presence in Europe.
John Dickerson: You mention words. Critics say the president didn't mention Article 5 during this NATO meeting, the idea that an attack on one is an attack on all. So has that over blown people's fixation on his not mentioning that?
General Jens Stoltenberg: First of all, he has stated several times that he's — he's committed to NATO and there's no way you can be committed to NATO without being committed to Article 5 because NATO is about Article 5, collective defense, stand together, one for all, all for one. Second, it is in the U.S. interest to have a strong NATO because two world wars and the Cold War, total stability, peace in Europe is also important for the prosperity and the — and the stability or the security of the United States. You have to remember that the only time NATO has invoked Article 5 was after an attack on the United States.
John Dickerson: Has President Trump's pressure on NATO members to pick up their commitments, their financial commitments, has that been effective?
General Jens Stoltenberg: It has helped to convey a very clear message about the need for increased defense spending across Canada and Europe. And a good thing is that the European allies now understand that we have to invest more in defense, not only to please the United States, but because it is in the interests of Europe to invest more in security, because we live in more dangerous world. And the good news is that the defense spending now has started to increase across Europe. We have started to increase and more allies we — we reached a 2 percent target this year or next year.

Workout Clothes for Women on Sale
The following is a guest post from our friends at The Budget Fashionista.
It's always this time of year when New Year's resolutions begin to wane. Sure, you've been reading your one book every two weeks. Yes, you've been flossing every day. Taking your vitamins. Calling your parents. But in truth, we all know what the most common and hardest to stick to promise is—and that's exercise. Sure, on December 31st you pledged to be more fit this year. Workout five times a week. Mix it up. Sign up for a race. And then it's March, and the invigorating novelty of being super healthy just isn't as motivating as it was in January. You're starting to feel bored, a little "oh this again." So, what's a girl to do? In this time of need, there is only one thing that will revive the thrill: clothes. Yep, go shopping. And it doesn't have to break your budget—here are five wallet-friendly workout outfits that won't lean your wallet, but will definitely make you feel as hot as you've been working for.
1. Lululemon: I'm sure you are thinking "there is no cheap item in that store"—but, have you ever shopped the "we made too much" section? Here, you will find what I like to call "sale" items—for about 30 percent off. Luckily, workout clothes never go out of style since they always have a function, so stock up. This hot running jacket with long sleeves and finger holes, pictured on the left, is a favorite of mine—Forme Jacket *Brushed (only $89)
2. Gap: I love GapFit, Gap's line of workout gear. Ranging from pants to shirts, bras and socks, you can basically outfit yourself for less (especially if you buy those seasonal sale items!). I love the fitness pants that come in a variety of lengths and fit. These Distance Capris are only $49.95 and can be worn for virtually anything.
3. Target: Of course Target has it's own collection by Champion. I love the bras that I get at Target, and the option to buy literally everything I'd ever need (from hair ties to running socks) makes a trip to Target a one-stop-shop that promises affordable finds. My favorite bra is this Racer Back bra for only $12.99 that comes in the entire rainbow of colors.
4. Forever21: I fell in love with F21′s athletic line when I realized I could get pants, bras and shirts for an average of $10 to $20 a pop. Check out these cute Ruched Skinny Workout Pants for only $10.80!

Don't worry about it. I like gyms like the YMCA or JCC or colleges like USF-Koret, since they are just less "cruisey" than the for-profit places, I think. Also cleaner and they don't hard-sell you all the time. I started at 200 lbs and way out of shape, and I felt comfortable at my Y -- just think how that is for a woman at 200 lbs to work out in public! They were great there, all kinds of people, young, old, fat, fit. I lost 70 lbs, btw. : ) So just find a place that is convenient and that you feel ok about; nobody will pay attention to your belly until you lose it -- then you'll get compliments

|Tipical Questions
|"Why are you leaving your current job?"
Hiring managers want to know your motivation for wanting to leave your current job. Are you an opportunist just looking for more money or are you looking for a job that you hope will turn into a career? If you're leaving because you don't like your boss, don't talk negatively about your boss–just say you have different work philosophies, Teach says. If the work was boring to you, just mention that you're looking for a more challenging position. "Discuss the positives that came out of your most recent job and focus on why you think this new position is ideal for you and why you'll be a great fit for their company."
If you've already left your previous job (or you were fired), Sutton Fell suggests the following:
If you got fired: Do not trash your last boss or company. Tell them that you were unfortunately let go, that you understand their reasoning and you've recognized areas that you need to improve in, and then tell them how you will be a better employee because of it.
If you got laid off: Again, do not trash your last boss or company. Tell them that you were let go, and that you understand the circumstances behind their decision; that you are committed to your future and not dwelling on the past; and that you are ready to apply everything that you learned in your last role to a new company.
If you quit: Do not go into details about your unhappiness or dissatisfaction. Instead, tell them that while you valued the experience and education that you received, you felt that the time had come to seek out a new opportunity, to expand your skills and knowledge, and to find a company with which you could grow.
