YOUTH is a key word for future success of our countries.
“Europe 2020 indicators – poverty and social exclusion” says, that for both men and women, young people aged 18 to 24 are the most likely to be at risk of poverty or social exclusion. Almost a third was at risk in 2014 (30.8 % of men and 33.0 % of women). People younger than 18 years are the group with the second highest risk, at 27.8%. Moreover, the situation of young people aged 18 to 24 has not improved compared with 2010.
– skepticism in possibility to realise themselves in their home country.
My name is Aleksandrs Posts, and for 8 years I work in NGO sphere connected with youth and culture. The main aim of organisations and initiatives I lead – to raise the ambitions of young people, to get them to think out of the box. For last couple of years we work with Erasmus+ programme and receive financial support for Training Courses, Youth Exchanges, European Voluntary Service, as well as Strategic Partnership projects. All this train new generation to become more independent, self-responsible, ambitious, European.
But to reach their attention we must think like them. We believe we found the way how to do it and want to transfer what we have to Public @ TEDxYouthNijmegen. In past 2017th year already 74% of web traffic came from videos. According to forecasts which become true, in 2018 it is only raise. It describes the fact that most of attention of youth gets picture and motion. It means: visible example of actions can motivate youngsters to do the same. Our statement also confirm popular and very old quote: “Kids Learn From Parents’ Actions, Not Words”.
By knowing information, we want to deliver instruments on how to deliver, we want to develop and improve skills of youth in area of active outside and inside actions in the cities/towns/villages, social media and digital technologies (social marketing, story telling through photo & video).
That’s not one day or a week, I know it. But what I can share through TEDxYouthNijmegen is the idea & message that more of us can do the same, can use same approach and make this world of tomorrow a little bit better. Or may be a lot!

Cholesterol can be lowered with permanent lifestyle changes that include a healthy diet and increased physical activity and, if needed, medications. Your own cholesterol "target" treatment level is based on your other risk factors for heart disease. For example, if you also have diabetes or high blood pressure, your doctor may try to help you achieve a target LDL cholesterol level even below 100 mg/dL.
Reduce the amount of saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol in your diet. This can be done by opting for more fruits, vegetables, lean meats and whole grains and avoiding pre-packaged meals. Cholesterol comes in meats, egg yolks and dairy products. Saturated fats come in things like whole milk, butter, ice cream, meat, palm oil and coconut oil. Trans fats are man-made vegetable oils (hydrogenated oils) used in many cookies, crackers, and french fries. (Healthier oils include: olive, peanut, and canola oils).
Get just 30 minutes a day of exercise – brisk walking, biking, running, swimming, etc. This can lower many risk factors for heart disease, including high cholesterol.
Achieve an ideal body weight. Often this can be done through diet and exercise.
Cholesterol medications are prescribed to reduce low density lipoproteins (LDL) known as the "bad" cholesterol. The most commonly prescribed medications include: statins, bile-acid resins (sequestrants), cholesterol absorption inhibitors, or combination agents. As needed, other medications for patients with atherosclerosis may be prescribed to reduce blood pressure (e.g., beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, diuretics); control blood sugar (e.g., anti-diabetic medications); prevent clots (e.g., aspirin); or assist with stopping smoking.

Psychometric testing is one of the most scientific methods employers have to ensure they find the most suitable candidates for any positions available. By screening job applicants through psychometric tests, employers can eliminate those they believe will not fit in with the business or current workforce.
Will I understand what is written in your reports?
All our reports and guides are written in simple, straightforward language, so you will understand your test results, their implications, and what you should work on improving.
Can I prepare for personality questionnaires?
The best approach is to answer as honestly and calmly as possible. Candidates should make sure they understand the scenario properly and only use the information given. Situational judgement and critical thinking assessments measure suitability rather than ability, so applicants who don’t get through to the next stage of the recruitment process have not failed; rather, they have succeeded in avoiding a job and employer that would not have been a good match.
Personality tests are an assessment aimed at determining personality or character traits. These tests are usually given online during the application process. There are several formats that are used during these tests, but for the hiring process the most common form is a questionnaire format. The most commonly used type of personality test is the self-report inventories test.
What makes them so useful?
Personality testing has been used for years and has really gained popularity as an employment screening tool. Employers wanting to trim time down on pre-screening candidates for an interview and employers who want to cut down on turnover rate are now using these tests to gain prospective on their potential employees. By using the most common type of personality test, self-report inventories, you will get some insight as to their character traits. Although it is an effective tool when filling a job opening, it must be done correctly by choosing a test that is meant for professional use, not just for fun.

A numerical method is formulated and analyzed for solving the miscible displacement problem under low regularity assumptions. The scheme employs discontinuous Galerkin time stepping with mixed and interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin finite elements in space. The numerical approximations of the pressure, velocity, and concentration converge to the weak solution as the mesh size and time step tend to zero. To pass to the limit a compactness theorem is developed which generalizes the Aubin-Lions theorem to accommodate discontinuous functions both in space and in time.

Discussion in 'IMO: In My Opinion' started by maewkaew, Dec 21, 2013.
I just wish well-meaning, cat-loving, cat-helping people would stop repeating the debunked claim about a pair of cats left unaltered producing 420,000 cats in 7 years. , an urban legend / propaganda "statistic" that has taken on a life of its own and can backfire against cat welfare.
If cats were reproducing at that rate, many countries would have TRILLIONS of homeless cats.
There have been articles debunking it and major animal organizations now say they don't think it is accurate. Even HSUS ( who used to have it on their website and who were often credited as being the source) say they no longer believe it and they don't even know where the number originally came from.
It's true that it is often preceded by , " theoretically" . I guess people figure that makes it "true" , if in theory one could do the math that way. But that makes it just an exercise in arithmetic, divorced from reality. A more realistic estimate in the low hundreds has been proposed based on studies of feral colonies. but that doesn't have the attractive shock value of 420,000.
I understand that some people / groups say this with good intentions because they hope it will get people to spay / neuter their cats.
This very same faux statistic is used as an argument by opponents of TNR that it can't be effective since if you just miss trapping a smart queen and tom in a managed colony they'll soon have produced hundreds of thousands more cats. (The same argument would apply to trap & kill, but they sometimes think a really intensive trap and kill effort would work, or suggest other forms of mass slaughter.) If someone already dislikes free-roaming cats and hears that just a pair of them could end up creating 420,000 in 7 years, that's not likely to make them feel friendlier to the cats, and some cat haters may find in such numbers the justification for getting rid of cats by any means.
As an argument for / attempt to shock people into spay/ neuter of pet cats, this figure sounds so exaggerated that it can lead people to doubt everything said by the group or individual making such a claim. More accurate numbers might actually be more effective since they're more believable . Even if the number is 100 or 200, that's still a good reason to s/n/.
It makes things sound so utterly hopeless . It could lead to a defeatist attitude that it is impossible to even get to a very low kill rate in shelters... so why bother trying to make any changes in the way things have always been done?
Some feral cat advocates have been trying for a while to track down where this stat came from.
The Feral Cat Spay Neuter Project in Seattle, WA, USA, challenged the 420,000 figure and tried to come up with a more realistic estimate. Using population data from studies of feral colonies, mathematicians arrived at a more realistic estimate of 100- 400 cats -- but that's if no adult cats die. The Feral Cat Times Feb 2006 The info is on page 2 " Dispel the Myth: 420,000 Cats?!" and on page 3. " How Many Kittens in Seven Years?"
Then there was an article by the "Numbers Guy" from the WSJ about this oft-repeated number. Here is a reprint on the site of Alley Cat Allies Carl Bialik WSJ " Trying to Herd a Cat Stat"
"Tall tales about rampant feline reproduction and predation rates, and their persistence even after being debunked or challenged, can be a matter of life and death for feral and free-roaming cats. If large numbers of people believe -- and convince public policy makers to believe -- that a single unspayed cat can produce 420,000 descendents in seven years, and that cats kill a billion songbirds every year, it becomes very easy to argue for the mass trapping and slaughter of free-roaming cats in the name of protecting birds."
Franny Syufy of cats.about.com admits she was one of the many advocates who repeated this number as an argument for spay/ neuter, but didn't know where it came from and hadn't thought about how it could actually be harmful 420,000 Cats in 7 Years : True or False?
There are now many sources saying it's a myth , giving links or quoting the earlier articles, but unfortunately it's one of those things that is hard to get rid of. I just wish we here at TCS could stop contributing to it.
But I guess I am part of the problem because I should have said something before ; not just when it's someone using this along with other false claims about feral cat population and predation, but when it is someone using it for what was probably the original intent -- promoting spay/ neuter. Yet it is certainly possible to point out that this is incorrect ,but frame that in a way that is still an argument for getting your cats altered.
jcat, mani and ldg purraised this.
I had not really thought about it other than it sounded very unrealistic. I grew up on a farm so there were a lot of ferals or strays that had gone feral and that was a time when there was no TNR done. If that number were realistic there would've been huge numbers of cats running around. I had also not thought about the negative impact caused by that number being repeated so often that people have accepted it as true. I think that difference in thinking is the difference between being a cat lover and not being a cat lover. Cat lovers would be more determined to try to get all cats spayed/neutered. People who aren't cat lovers would think in terms of more drastic solutions.
That is a really well-thought out and comprehensive post, maewkaew, and now we have something to link to if needed.
I know where that stat comes from--it's from math, rounded off.
You start out with one cat having kittens as often as she comes into heat, plus one tom to fertilize her. After a year, you have X cats, which you divide into pairs and apply the same calculation to.
Seven years is as long as you could reasonably expect the first cat to survive feral.
So, yeah, after seven years, if every cat survives and reproduces, you do have that many cats.
The reason this doesn't play out in reality is that most of those kittens don't survive. Say Generation 0 has twelve kittens the first year. If she's feral, none of the kittens might survive. Then the cats breeding during Generation 1 would still be just the first pair.
Or say Generation 0 is an indoor-outdoor housecat. Say she has her two or three litters that first year. Most of those kittens end up at shelters before they reproduce themselves, or they get dumped on the street, where they die. Instead of having twelve cats in it, Generation 1 might have only four cats.
The idea of thousands of cats is theoretical and meant to be purely theoretical, but it still works as an argument about why cats need to be neutered. If you don't get your cat neutered, then in order to stop those thousands of cats (long before they become thousands, because even five cats are a handful), some of those kittens must die.
Everyone knows that we aren't surrounded by cats to the extent that the math tells us we would be if they all survived. The logical conclusion: Some of those cats die. In order to prevent needless deaths, neutering is the only humane option.
otto, ldg and slykat12 purraised this.

Rotten Tomatoes gives it 4.3/10, IMDb users give it a 5.7/10. I give it a ‘Sleeping with the lights on tonight’. But then again, I’m a scaredy-cat with an imagination that’s too big for my own good.
It was a good effort by all the cast. The scary bits start right from the beginning- so take one friend, or more, if you want to watch it.
One thing though- why the hell does Bart Allen Kyle Gallner play in so many creepy movies?
David Beckham got his 109th ‘cap’ for England, family cheers him on. I have no idea what that means (but apparently it’s something record-breaking). I just love the Beckhams.
Kevin Richardson, the lion man. He’s got the same attraction as Steve Irwin.
Yes, I totes had a crush on Steve Irwin.

Securing Event Sponsorship: What are sponsors looking for and how do you deliver it.
From the music industry to sports and everything in between- I’ve had the opportunity to help others create, build, organize, and plan events on multiple levels….BUT, if there is one essential EVERY Event Organizer wants, it’s SPONSORSHIP.
With over 8 years of experience in event planning, promotion, marketing, PR, and so on, I can honestly say it wasn’t until maybe 2 years ago that I fully understood exactly how event sponsorship works. With that being said, I’ve decided to write this blog and share my knowledge and insight that I’ve gained over the years – to better help you understand what it takes to secure sponsorship, what sponsors are looking for, and how to deliver what they want.
SPONSORS: WHY DO THEY SPONSOR? AND WHAT ARE THEY LOOKING FOR IN SPONSORSHIP?
Event Sponsorship is the act of a person and/or company giving support to an event through the provision of products, services, or monetarily – with an expectation of their business goals/agenda being met, primarily by reaching their target audience.
In recent years, event sponsorship has been the fastest growing marketing strategy for companies seeking to leverage their brand – increasingly enough that in 2017, according to IEG Sponsorship- it recorded 24.2 billion in sponsorship spending from companies in North America. What exactly does this mean?? It means there is plenty of money out there, and companies are ready to spend it! So how do you attract the right sponsors and secure the sponsorship?
Knowing your demographic audience is invaluable – this is an essential that sponsors want to know and that will need to go in your sponsor deck. What is it to know your demographic? Age, gender, nationality, income level, education level, etc. The more in-depth you can go with this information, the easier it will be to secure the “right sponsors”. *Side Note* Before companies sponsor, they need to know their marketing dollars are going directly to their targeted audience.
Develop a captivating sponsorship deck – Your sponsorship deck, from graphics to content curation is going to say everything about your event without speaking a word. It’s the first thing sponsors see (first impression is the last impression, so make it presentable.) What info goes in your sponsorship deck? 1. ABOUT YOUR EVENT- be sure to state your mission and invite them to support your cause. 2. BENEFITS OF SPONSORSHIP – although I like to create personal proposals for companies according to their business objectives, it’s always good to start out with a generic one. BE CREATIVE when doing this. Think as if your that company, what would you want from sponsoring an event? 3. DEMOGRAHICS – Sponsors want to know how many people attend your events and the demographics of attendee to see if it aligns with the market they are trying reach 4. Include a fact page about your event: Number of attendees, previous sponsors, press coverage links, notable people that attended, photos (photos of crowd, fan interaction, celebrities, sponsors, anything that would attract a current sponsor.) 5. Contact info and logo. Be sure full name, email, phone number, website, and social media sites.
DELIVER, DELIVER, DELIVER – Whatever it is that you said you were going to do, DO IT!! This is so important in building your relationship with the sponsor. You want them to be overly satisfied, that they have received their ROI (Return on Investment). Find out what they liked, or didn’t like, or maybe what could be done a little differently. This allows you to possibly continue your relationship for the following year.
The key to successfully securing event sponsorship is taking into consideration the needs of your sponsors and developing creative strategies that help them obtain their business goals. In turn, adding value to your event – delivering the ultimate experience to your customers.

Anne Burdick is the Chair of Media Design Practices (MDP), a graduate program at Art Center College of Design focused on designing for the future of information and communication technologies. To address the global and social dimensions of this work, the MDP recently established two tracks. In the Field track, students work on social issues in a real-world context—the first cohort just returned from working at UNICEF’s Innovation Lab in Kampala, Uganda. In the Lab track, students work with emerging ideas from technology and science—they recently worked with a neuroscientist from the Biophotonics Lab at CalTech on a project inspired by new sensing technology from Intel Research.
Anne Burdick is the author of the influential essay, “Graduate Education: Preparing Designers for Jobs That Don’t Exist (Yet)” in Adobe Think Tank in 2007. A regular participant in the international dialogue regarding research and advanced degrees, Anne believes that it is the job of graduate education to push the field in new directions and to invent new practices. “[Burdick] says that the days of being defined by your mode of output—illustration, web design—will soon be over. ‘The consideration will be more whether you are a designer who works on issues of a macro scale, such as global warming, or a nano scale, such as molecular design. Education and skills will be about the context of your work—the body, domestic policy—particularly as the boundaries continue to disappear between a physical space, an information space, a gaming space, and so on.” The Future of Design Education, Print Magazine, April 2011.
In her own practice, Anne Burdick designs experimental text projects in diverse media, for which she has garnered recognition, from winning the prestigious Leipzig Award for book design to being nominated for a Webby Award for her work with interactive texts and electronic literature. With Johanna Drucker, Peter Lunenfeld, Todd Pressner, and Jeffrey Schnapp, she is a co-author of the book Digital_Humanities, “…a compact, game-changing report on the state of contemporary knowledge production” (MIT Press). Her writing and design can be found in the Los Angeles Times, Eye Magazine, and Electronic Book Review, among others, and her work is held in the permanent collections of both SFMOMA and MoMA.
Anne Burdick studied graphic design at Art Center College of Design and San Diego State University prior to receiving a BFA and MFA in graphic design at California Institute of the Arts.
Here she is featured on a Scratching the Surface podcast episode.

Commissions Doubler Review – Should you Invest?
This program promises to show you how to make $200/day using a free traffic method. Allegedly you can double your profits overnight. They offer step by step video training that shows you how to put money in your pocket. Also discover the niche that Nick recommends any newbie use to get started. Within the program you will uncover the BIG mistakes almost all affiliate marketers make and how to avoid them. Commissions Doubler shows you the fastest way to get hordes of FREE traffic.
Basically the program combines the traffic from Craigslist and niche products for sale from Clickbank. I personally don’t think craigslist is the best way to earn money online…. it’s better suited for finding a used couch or entertainment center. While niche marketing is an excellent way to earn money, spamming people through sites like craigslist is not a viable technique. I have built several websites in different niches and earn money from them everyday. For me, that’s the best way to start an online business that pays.
Free traffic is seldom a good way to get targeted traffic that will convert.
Who is Commissions Doubler For?
Commissions Doubler is marketed toward the newbie or the person who is looking for a quick way to make money. Often times these tactics or promises of getting rich quickly are not legit and only a few people actually make money or benefit from programs like this. If you would rather look into a program that will actually make you money and teach you the skills to be successful, then check out my recommendation.
Video training is available and a step by step guide is included. The video is long and drawn out. Getting to the point (the technique to make money) was not a priority. After 65 minutes, Nick finally gets to the bones of the program. Way too long if you ask me.
The price starts at $47, however most of the time you are able to get it for a much lower price if you act quickly. They offer a price of only $6.97 for those that choose to sign up within an hour of landing on their page.
In my opinion, any program that promises you’ll make money within 24 hours is NEVER legit. Although I do believe certain people can make money with this program, I don’t think it’s for newbies that are hoping for financial success immediately. Hard work and consistency is the only way to guarantee success. Most of these programs are shut down within a year.

In response to questions regarding what it takes to implement OnTrak’s premier application, SignTrak, we asked our Product Development Manager and Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Rick Flagg *, to write an overview of the implementation process.
To be successful, Consumer Goods suppliers, distributors and retailers alike need marketing intelligence to determine what POS marketing initiatives work. This can be done by tracking shopper interactions with point-of-sale marketing materials, and correlating this interaction to sales results.
There is at least some evidence that beverage alcohol companies, suppliers, wholesale distributors and retailers alike, think they’re in the entertainment business. While that’s not entirely a misrepresentation, the reality of the situation is that these companies really are in the business of manufacturing, distributing and marketing their brands and products.

I'll play in 10 min.
What's this new pro club?
I think you can join it without an invite. It's called AC Goal Legacy.
Might do soon, might be going out but that can wait until it's not 505005 degrees outside.
A few people online now.
Looks like we'll be stuck in div 3/4 since the style doesn't work in the higher divisions. We need a good any. It's impossible to deal with the quick pros with the CPU defenders.
Dat feel when you think you score the game winning goal in the 85th min. to get the club promoted to div.2, but they score in the 87th min. and you tie 1-1 and stay in div.3.
