Purple Rain was released in 1984 and became a classic 80's cult film. But the question remains…do the Purple One's acting chops realistically translate in 2017? Is this movie cheesy? Would any of us really fuck a 5'2" guy on a purple motorcycle with conservatively heeled boots?!!?!
Enjoy the recap and decide for yourself:
Ok, so Prince, aka "The Kid" lives in Minnesota and plays at this very typical 80's club with his band The Revolution. Apollonia is a thirsty wannabe singer that doesn't pay for cabs and sneaks into hip Minnesota clubs. These are a thing?
Apollonia knocking over a waitress with all of her drinks and asking for a job 10 seconds later is SO relatable.
I think we can all agree that even by 2017 standards, Apollonia is an extremely weird name.
The Revolution has some serious competition from another band, The Time. I can kind of see why because they wear big jackets and have fun dance moves.
The lead singer of The Time, Morris Day, has the hots for Apollonia and he wants to put together a hot girl group for the club. The club owner is down but he's like, okay but nothing dirty because I have enough problems, whatever that means….he agrees that if Morris can get a semi-talented, non-slutty girl group up in the club, he'll get rid of Prince's band.
Back at the clurrrrb, The Kid awkwardly lingers around Apollonia with his Prince glasses on and she's like, feeling it. He later semi-steals her boot charm (?) and gives her a ride on his purple motorcycle.
Apollonia is like, can you help me with my music career and Prince is like nah but you can go baptize yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka.
Apollonia takes her clothes off and jumps into a body of water that we quickly learn is NOT Lake Minnetonka. Then he drives off. Classic Prince move!
**Important scarf moment**
He comes back in like five minutes and to further encourage the theory that women love assholes, Apollonia quickly forgives him. I don't know about you, but if a 5'2" guy in purple pants got me to strip and jump in a cold river and then DROVE OFF, I'd probably be over it. Then again, I'm not trying to make a singing career happen at an 80's dance club so what the fuck do I know.
Anyhoo, The Kid is having major problems with his band. He never plays any of the songs they write and is just an overall douche in general. We also find out that he is having MAJOR problems at home (i.e. his dad is abusive) and I think his mom is possessed by a demon. This has yet to be confirmed.
Morris wants to bang Apollonia big time and buys her a bottle of champs at the club. Apparently underage drinking is legal in Minnesota?
Since I've already seen Apollonia's boobs 20 minutes into this film, I am a bit worried she is not the best choice for the non-slutty girl group idea. No judgement.
Is Apollonia's "King Kong" reference about Prince's chest hair or is she being racially insensitive?
The Kid and Apollonia's 80's style foreplay in his groovy basement will not at all make you uncomfortable!
Blah blah blah The Kid is always late to band practice and won't play they girls' music. WE GET IT. Are Lisa and Wendy a couple? Or do they just draw on matching face moles for fun?
Apollonia sells her tacky boot bracelet to buy The Kid a guitar he was eyeing earlier. Probably too soon in the "relationship" for large gifts, but maybe the sex was worth it. I'm going to assume it was.
She brings her way-too-soon gift over to Prince's bang palace and receives a cheap hoop male earring in return. Then she casually goes, "oh I'm going to join Morris' not at all slutty girl group!". The Kid does the reasonable thing and SLAPS THE SHIT OUT OF HER. Needless to say, she dips.
The club owner tells The Kid that The Revolution is on the verge of getting cut from the club because allegedly there is a new hot group called APOLLONIA 6!!!!!???? I WONDER WHO COULD BE IN THAT GROUP?!
Cue "When Doves Cry" and experience a Minnesota -themed montage of Prince being the tiny, purple-clad bad-ass that he is. Moments include: throwing rocks into a stream, shed sex, and aggressive motorcycle riding.
Prince comes home and his mom is crying because she probably just got her ass kicked and you know, she's possessed. He bursts in the house and twirls around screaming ANSWER ME MOTHER FUCKER in a totally not-femme manner. Please observe:
He finds his a-hole dad playing music on the piano. I guess this is done to tell us that The Kid and his father have a lot in common, such as: hitting women and playing music. Groundbreaking.
The Kid playing guitar shirtless with a lace blindfold and matching glove is probably the most important part of this film. God I love the 80's.
Making Lisa simulate a BJ on stage isn't even the most degrading thing The Kid has done to her so far. The club scene is displeased.
While no one can deny The Kid's talent, his over-the-top erotic performances make the club owner uncomfortable and he's over it. Probably would do well for the VMAs though.
Number of times Apollonia has cried at Prince's performances so far: 2. Strange considering his music is literally about fucking.
Club owner: "Nobody digs your music but you!"
Prince: "Fuck off!"
Club owner: "Like father, like son."
If the club owner was a woman, he would have been slapped at this point.
Cut to Minnesota's second hottest club: "The Taste" and experience Apollonia and two other girls performing in straight-up lingerie and singing "I'm a sex-shooter". Not trying to slut-shame, but what happened to the tasteful girl group idea?
Apollonia kind of resembles Tim Curry's character in Rocky Horror Picture Show.
I like how Prince doesn't even try to be low-key while he stalks her new girl group.
Do I really have to explain that Apollonia gets drunk and Prince hits her again? It happens.
Number of times Prince has come home to drama: too many to count
Slaps across Apollonia's face: 2
Apologies for said slaps: 0
Shirtless performances: 2
The movie takes a dark turn when The Kid's dad shoots himself. He doesn't die though.
Are things ever going to look up for Prince? Only a rocking night at the club will tell.
Pretty sure singing an emotionally-driven ballad dedicated to your suicidal father is the definition of bringing your personal shit on stage. Hypocrisy, thy name is…club owner guy.
The big finale: The Kid manages to win literally everyone over by singing "Purple Rain". There are no wounds so deep that an 80's ballad can't cure them. Plus The Kid has finally changed his douchey ways by playing Lisa and Wendy's music!
10/10 would bang Prince and watch again.
Drunk Kalee: This movie great, Prince is great, you couldn't ask for a better soundtrack.
College Kalee: While The Kid makes questionable and sometimes alarming choices within his relationships, one can see the detrimental toll his father's abusive nature has taken on the young performer. Once The Kid truly begins to accept their similarities, he grows both emotionally as well as creatively, forgoing his aggressive nature towards Apollonia, and finally opening up to the other bandmates' creative insights.
Think about it.

This is my story, wait, nah
This is our story, this is our fate
This is our kingdom, this is our place
This is our freedom, cut off them chains
This is our struggle, this is our pain
This is our love, this is our trust
This is our daughters, this is our sons
Give me back my wings, yeah
Give me back my wings, see, I just wanna fly again
Wanna try, fail, try to try again
Head up in the stars, I promise I'm higher then
The right person for the job, you hire then fire them
I be working for the same thing, towards the same goal
Are we losing the passion in which we came for?
I was strong but identifying the same flaws
Fighting each other but battling for the same cause, let me breathe
Ain't got the time to be your enemy
That shit is draining, they're taking up too much energy
I'd rather invest in something that's worth it, the time is precious
So for Simz to waste it is something you'll never see, hold me to it
Everything is just a memory
It's getting modest then and never modest then, then I remember
I am not fucking about, getting modest is an error
I'll be fine as long as I've got my head up
I ain't prayed in a minute
Before you judge me, hold that thought and let me finish
For a long time I thought that praying was just asking for things
Like the road to riches and diamond rings
But now I know that I just gotta be thankful
Blessings every day, shit, I've got my hands full
Lessons every day, I'm learning for more angles
Mum, stop stressing over shit that I'mma handle, don't you know?
Simbi got you, I ain't even gotta say it
The album's here, I hope you love it, hope you play it
I know you knew this day would come, I know you prayed it
Can't wait to look at you and tell you that I made it
It's amazing
Good things come to the people that wait and I waited
Tell me, do you believe the quote above I stated?
Nobody handed me a dream, I had to chase it
I had to be business-minded and put aside my feelings
I had to find my own truth, my own meanings
Wrote this in the same bedroom I started in
Had to dream big, had to look beyond my ceiling
Do you feel it?
Hand on my heart, if only you could feel the way it's beating
I mean it
This the type of music that ain't never gonna sell? Well
Shouldn't never ever tell me that
Should've never ever told me that
What if I prove you wrong? Tell me know, could you live with that?
No, you wouldn't wanna live that
I ain't saying this'll go to number one, oh, I ain't saying that
I know you know that I ain't saying that
I just wanna do this all for my people, fuck the rest
Give you realness every time, nothing more, nothing less, and it goes like
No time for these low-lives
I'm onto something bigger all thanks to the most high
Becoming more relentless and less defensive, it's in my mechanism
Who give a fucks about cosigns?
Never scared of killing 'em, something that's too real
They don't have to play this, I know that Huw will, and you will
No, you can't ignore it
Many of us want this life but just ain't cut out for it, yeah
So don't you ever
Forget who told you this
No, don't you ever
See, this is for your kids
Yeah, don't you ever
Overlook this here
So this is our message, this is our faith
This is our voice, this is our names
This is our new, now we want change
This is our sun, this is our rain
This is our wind, this is our fail
This is our hands, how can we help?
This is our heaven, this is our hell
This is our story, this is our tale, our tale

It never fails. Moms don't get sick days. While you can do your best to stay germ free, chances are you will get sick at one point or another and you will still have to take care of your children. Moms are on call 24/7 and we don't get sick leave. So while I can't come over and watch your kids for you next time you get sick, I can help you prepare so you have some activities up your sleeve to keep your toddlers busy while you rest on the couch! These DIY toddler sensory bags are mess-free and perfect for stealing a little quiet time while they play!
It seems that whenever I start feeling crummy I find that I have no meds in the house and the last thing I want to do is run to town with all my kids in tow and buy some medication to give me some relief. So I always keep some Vicks DayQuil Severe and Vicks NyQuil Severe in my medicine cabinet. I also keep a box stashed away with activities to keep my kids busy while I get some rest. These are always activities that they don't normally get to do so they will easily hold their interest for at least 20 minutes!
You can make these toddler sensory bags ahead of time and then stash them away for your next sick day! Making them is easy and inexpensive. Pick up some cheap, colored hair gel, various colored beads (the dollar store has some fun ones!), zip top plastic bags and clear packing tape.
Squirt a good dollop of hair gel into the plastic bag, add your beads and then squish out the air and zip it shut. Then tape the top shut with your packing tape. You can also reinforce each seam by taping each side which will prevent any blowouts! That's it! You're done.
Have fun with this by making different themed bags. Do alphabet beads in one bag to help them learn their letters, various colors, sizes, etc and tell them to move the beads around and group them by colors, size, etc. These are great learning activities and help reinforce different concepts for them, all while you can get a little rest on the couch!
When you are feeling under the weather pull out your activity box for the kids and let them be entertained!
I told Carson to group all the red beads in the corner. He had tons of fun squishing them over to the corner.
Another easy, fun activity I have stashed in my "sick day box" is this popcorn glove. Just double up a glove by putting on a glove then putting on a second glove. Slip it off your hand, keeping the two gloves together, and then fill with popping corn. Tie the inner glove and then tie the outer glove. You can also seal it with packing tape if you think your toddler might open it up. This is another fun sensory activity that is mess free. Of course, you need to supervise your kids with both of these activities. They are meant to entertain, not to babysit, and do require supervision.
You can find everything you need to make these sensory activities bags at Walmart. While you are there be sure you also stock up on Vicks DayQuil and NyQuil Severe, chicken soup and Puffs tissues! Vicks DayQuil Severe Cold & Flu has maximum symptom-fighting ingredients to relieve your worst cold and flu symptoms so you can go on with your day. You can also rely on maximum strength nighttime cold and flu relief, so you can take back your night. You can get them in caplets or liquid!
What do you do to keep the kids out of trouble while you have a sick day?

The first of the upcoming Wii U Virtual Console titles in Europe is reported to run at the archaic 50hz framerate in Europe.
The old standard refresh rate was common place in the older console generation, with European gamers suffering from approximately 17.5% slowdown in most releases. The NTSC standard in Japan and American would run at around 30 frames/second, where as PAL releases would opt for 25 frames/second instead.
The original Wii Virtual Console has been heavily criticised for running at 50hz in the past only despite a system wide setting to run at 60hz.
Oddly, the Nintendo 3DS releases include 60hz output yet the sole title released in Europe so far - Balloon Fight - runs in 50hz on both the GamePad and on the TV, according to a plethora of Miiverse complaints.
Nintendo may well reconsider the 50/60hz debate for future Virtual Console games and when the service goes live this Spring, but for now Wii U owners in Europe are locked to 50hz for these classic gems.
Have you tried the game on your Nintendo Wii U? Should Nintendo re-consider 60hz for the European Virtual Console?Please take a moment to sign our Wii U Virtual Console PAL Games in 60hz petition today and we shall forward the response to our contacts in Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo UK once reaching a solid figure.

SAP BW On Hana Interview Questions and Answers
Q.What Is The Time Distribution Option In Update Rule?
Ans: This is to distribute data per time; for example, if the source contains calendar week and the target contains calendar day, the data is spit for each calendar day. you can select either the normal calendar or the factory calendar.
Q.What Is The Language Sap Hana Is Developed In?
Ans: The SAP HANA database is developed in C++.
Q.What Is Ad Hoc Analysis?
Ans: In traditional data warehouses, such as SAP BW, a lot of pre-aggregation is done for quick results. That is the administrator (IT department) decides which information might be needed for analysis and prepares the result for the end users. This results in fast performance but the end user does not have flexibility.
The performance reduces dramatically if the user wants to do analysis on some data that is not already pre-aggregated. With SAP HANA and its speedy engine, no pre-aggregation is required. The user can perform any kind of operations in their reports and does not have to wait hours to get the data ready for analysis.
Q.What Are The Types Of Attributes?
Ans: Display only and navigational; display only attributes are only for display and no analysis can be done; navigational attributes behave like regular characteristics; for example, assume that we have a customer characteristics with country as a navigational attribute; you can analyze the data using customer and country.
Q.What Are The Row-based And Column Based Approach?
Ans: Row based tables:
- It is the traditional Relational Database approach
- It store a table in a sequence of rows
Column based tables:
- It store a table in a sequence of columns i.e. the entries of a column is stored in contiguous memory locations.
- SAP HANA is particularly optimized for column-order storage.
- SAP HANA supports both row-based and column-based approach.
Q.Can You Partition A Cube Which Has Data Already?
Ans: No; the cube must be empty to do this; one work around is to make a copy of the cube A to cube B; export data from A to B using export data source; empty cube A; create partition on A; re-import data from B; delete cube B.
Q.How Does Sap Hana Support Massively Parallel Processing?
- With availability of Multi-Core CPUs, higher CPU execution speeds can be achieved.
- Also, HANA Column-based storage makes it easy to execute operations in parallel using multiple processor cores.
- In a column store data is already vertically partitioned. This means that operations on different columns can easily be processed in parallel. If multiple columns need to be searched or aggregated, each of these operations can be assigned to a different processor core.
- In addition, operations on one column can be parallelized by partitioning the column into multiple sections that can be processed by different processor cores. With the SAP HANA database, queries can be executed rapidly and in parallel.
Q.What Is The Dim Id?
Ans: DIM ID: are used to connect fact tables and dimension tables.
Q.What Is An Info Source?
Ans: A structure consisting of InfoObjects without persistence for connecting two transformations.
Q.What Are The Steps To Load Non-cumulative Cube?
- initialize opening balance in R/3 (S278)
- activate extract structure MCO3BFO for data source 2LIS_03_BF
- set up historical material documents in R/3
- load opening balance using data source 2LIS_40_S278
- load historical movements and compress without marker update.
- set up V3 update
- load deltas using 2LIS_03_BF.
Q. What Is A Transnational Infocube?
Ans: These cubes are used for both read and write; standard cubes are optimized for reading. The transactional cubes are used in SEM.
Q.What Is A Source System?
Ans: Any system that is sending data to BW like R/3, lat file, Oracle database or external systems.
Q. Can You Disable Cache?
Ans: Yes, either globally or using query debug tool RSRT.
Q.What Is Global Transfer Nile?
Ans: This is a transfer routine (ABAP) defined at the info object level; this is common for all source systems.

The Starship Enterprise returns from warp drive to ordinary space with a forward speed of 51 km/s. To the crew's great surprise, a Klingon ship is 150 km directly ahead, traveling in the same direction at a mere 21 km/s. Without evasive action, the Enterprise will overtake and collide with the Klingons in just about 5.0 s. The Enterprise's computers react instantly to brake the ship.
PART A. What magnitude acceleration does the Enterprise need to just barely avoid a collision with the Klingon ship? Assume the acceleration is constant.
Since the collision is barely avoided, we shall make their positions and their velocities equal. So, their velocities must be equal to the Klingon ship. For the Starship Enterprise, the final velocity will be equal to 21 km/s
Equate their positions as well
Substitute to all t's
Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration should be

The spokesman for the McCanns reveals what he thinks really happened to Maddie
And why Kate and Gerry seemed to show no emotion
One of the biggest mysteries of this generation is what happened to Madeleine McCann. It's one of the most talked about news stories the UK has ever seen, and the most high profile missing child case ever. So much so, that the Netflix documentary released this month, The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann, has basically halted the world and got everyone talking about the case again. And one person with insight into the case is McCann spokesman Clarence Mitchell.
Clarence Mitchell was working in a civil service job when he answered a phone call to the conversation that would land him in the middle of the Madeleine McCann case. It was in May 2007, and Madeleine had just gone missing from her family's holiday apartment in Praia du Luz, Portugal. Clarence Mitchell then left for Portugal, and became the official spokesperson for the McCanns in Madeleine's case.
12 years on, this is what the McCann spokesman Clarence Mitchell thinks happened to Madeleine. He also explains the reason Kate and Gerry appeared to be so emotionless during their ordeal.
McCann spokesman Clarence Mitchell thinks Madeleine was 'taken to order'
In an interview with The Telegraph, ex BBC reporter and McCann spokesman Clarence Mitchell, has shared his opinion on what happened to Madeleine McCann.
He said he doesn't believe the "ridiculous" conspiracy theories circulating about Madeleine's disappearance. He said: "One of the most ridiculous conspiracy theories I have heard was that Madeleine was born as the result of a government cloning project.
"People also assumed the worst. That [the McCanns] were getting drunk, that they were having fun and that they did not care about their children."
Instead, he offers a rare insight into the case, that isn't heard much in Madeleine's story. At the time, Portuguese laws said information regarding the investigation was to remain private. Because of this, the McCann perspective was never really heard. Clarence Mitchell may not work as much with the McCanns now, but he still has an idea about what might have happened to Maddie.
He told The Telegraph: "I asked the British authorities what they think happened and if there was any family involvement, and they assured me it was just a rare case of stranger abduction.
"It's very rare, but it can happen."
He says a sexual motive is an "obvious" possibility, and Kate and Gerry remain hopeful, as there have been "other cases, where a missing child has been found alive after many years." Plus, "the complete absence of any evidence that Madeleine has been physically harmed" is the reason Madeleine could still be alive.
Clarence believes Maddie was chosen, and abducted. "A child was taken to order from that room."
Clarence Mitchell thinks the McCanns are completely innocent
Speaking to The Telegraph, McCann spokesman Clarence Mitchell explained his involvement with the case. He said: "Some of the coverage had been very negative, and so I thought this was a chance to help them [Kate and Gerry].
"We have a good working relationship. Friendly but professional. We do not socialise, it is not necessarily appropriate, but the media coverage is still pretty intrusive and they see me as a part of dealing with it."
The McCanns have received a lot of bad press since the disappearance of Madeleine, and a lot of the conspiracy theories out there discuss the possible involvement of Kate and Gerry. Mitchell said this speculation isn't true, "a lot of it is misinformed, misguided and based purely on assumptions or lack of knowledge." He thinks the negative press is mainly down to prejudice, and people deciding they don't like the McCanns. A huge reason why the public began to dislike the McCanns was because of the huge reward fund that was raised to help find Maddie.
Clarence Mitchell also addressed criticism of Kate and Gerry, labelling them as neglectful. He said: "There is even those who say that the parents know what happened. They don't. It is just not true. But try explaining that in the noise of social media and general coverage."
Why did Kate and Gerry McCann come across so cold and emotionless?
Then there is the real reason why Kate and Gerry behaved the way they did in the public eye. Kate and Gerry's lack of public emotion caused a lot of speculation, despite Kate saying she "cries for Madeleine every day".
According to Mitchell, the McCanns were told by police to be cold and emotionless, as this would stop anyone that had taken her from getting kicks out of seeing the upset they created. He said: "One of the reasons they were so controlled was because they were told very early on that often, in the case of paedophilic kidnaps, the perpetrators watch media coverage and enjoy seeing the distress that they have caused.
"So, the police told them not to cry. Not to show any over-emotion. Kate and Gerry, both doctors and both logical, were not going to let that bastard have that satisfaction and so were very rigid."
But Mitchell understands that to your average person, this behaviour might be odd. "For someone who does not know that, they might think it looks a bit suspicious. It is almost like the public were expecting the parents to react in a certain way."
The Netflix documentary, The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann is available to stream on Netflix.

What's your niche?
My husband jokes that we will soon have Amazon and Google knocking on our door asking us to build them a website. And I respond that they can go away. Why? Because they aren't the kind of client we want…
It seems counter-intuitive to focus on one kind of client (in our case startups and very small businesses), but in doing so we believe we can serve them better. This is an area we know and understand and feel we can really make a difference for our clients. And we feel strongly that you should focus on a niche too.
As a consumer (or indeed a business) I am not a number. I am not the same as everyone else. If you want me to join your fitness class, I want one that has people like me in it (or the people I want to look like once I have been a few times!) and an instructor that understands people like me – not aimed at your superfit, ultra skinny people in their 20s…
I am far more likely to buy from you if you "get" me, if I think you are talking directly to me…
It is also easier to compete in a niche. We are never going to be the world's biggest website building company. We are never going to be building websites for the likes of Amazon and Google (despite my husband's comments). Whilst we don't usually shy away from a challenge, our marketing investment (time and money – both of which are limited) is far more likely to be successful if it is focused.
We're not suggesting you necessarily turn customers away (although if you can't deliver what they want you should do), but that you focus your marketing on a niche.
Won't you lose customers if you focus on a niche? Well, when you pick a niche, most people will ignore you, but the people in your niche will pay attention. Their ears will wiggle, their eyes will get bigger, and they'll turn towards you as the authority on the subject. You'll have their full, captivated attention. And ultimately, they will be far more likely to become customers…
So, what's your niche???

If you live in Chicago or New York, you may have heard of Eataly, Italian marketplaces in the heart of these United States cities.
Nearly eight months after the Chicago location opened (December 2nd, 2013), I finally had the opportunity to visit Eataly, and more importantly, the Nutella Bar.
The menu is pretty much what you would expect, various cakes and such, slathered with Nutella. There is Pane, Brioche, Saccottino, Tortina Margherita, Crostatina, Bacio di Dama, and Crepes with Banana, Coconut, Pistachios, or plain. For full descriptions, there is a menu on the website. There were also various items for sell, including a book on Nutella in Italian that I really want to pick up next time I have a chance.
I ended up purchasing a plain crepe, but was rather disappointed to find, that while it is supposed to be an Italian market, they carry the Nutella imported from Canada rather than the Nutella imported from Europe. Also, the crepes were rather expensive, but I suppose it is easy to charge a higher price when they are not readily found all over the city. I need to purchase a large enough pan to make my own one of these days. Next time I will try something other than the crepes though.
The crepes were good, good enough for me to forget to take a picture until I was about half way through, but not nearly as good as the ones made in Italy. After purchasing my crepe, I wandered around the market for a few minutes (I had a charity event with the Anti-Cruelty Society to attend), it was very crowded though, so I could not stop to look at too much. There was a gelato bar as well, so I am curious to try theirs to see how it holds up to actual gelato.

Justin Beaver
Either a dream come true or worst nightmare!
Hmmmm... Where do we begin? Love him or hate him, the kid's of age so of course the blow up doll immediately follows. One of the most decorated personalities created just as many hearts pounding as confused angry heads shaking. What do with him is up to you - toss him around, give him a punch in the face or get inside this young gun. Whatever, he is forever a sex slave in a blow-up form. A third viable option for this ridiculous doll is for a party, skip the girl; she has been done before, but the Just-in Beaver doll is totally new and sidesteps the cliche of a sex doll. His body inflates and has an inflatable dick. For people wondered how big his dick is - (and we assume his dick is quite large, after all he has such a loyal following of women - and men) now the truth can be told. It is beaver fever, and he is finally 18 - it is not wrong to have your way with him. (Or kick him a good kick across the room depending on where your opinions stand with this controversial pop star.)

February 14, 2018
The hiring process can be time consuming and at the end of it all you might not have selected the best match for the role. Here at ShowTech (changed from Technically Compatible/Tungl in 2019), we point you in the right direction to help you make the best recruitment decisions and cut screening times
There you are all dressed up. You're looking smart, you're excited if a little nervous, you want to make a good first impression and more than anything you want this person to be the right one.
Why should you be nervous though? You've done this thousands of times, you've gone through thousands of profiles, you've spent at least 8 weeks' worth of hours in the last 12 months vetting potential candidates and hoping one of them will fit perfectly.
And yet, you sit down to have a chat, confident in their match-fitting qualities and boom! … you know it's a lost cause. This is not the one. Back to the drawing board, and repeat.
Except this isn't a date. It could've been, it is Valentine's Day after all but re-read that introduction and think about your hiring process. It's okay, go ahead, I'll wait …
Sound familiar? All those hours screening, sifting through resumes, looking through profiles, conducting initial interviews, all in a bid to shortlist candidates based mainly on some well-arranged black text on a piece(s) of white paper.
It's heart-breaking really.
So, this Valentine's Day, why not treat yourself and rather than wasting more of your precious time trying to find the right one in the wrong way, pick the right way first and make your life easier and cheaper!
Only you can say what you like and what you're looking for but we can certainly point you in the right direction, away from the players and towards the perfect 10 (x developer).
So you've taken your date to a fancy restaurant, they ordered the most expensive thing on the menu, you ended up footing the bill and that was the last you heard from them. Now, think about the time you spent wooing them in the first place to reach that point, and relate that to the hours you've spent screening a candidate to get them to the interview stage. Do you know how much it's costing you per hour? Do you know the full cost of that if you hired them? It all adds up. And if you hire the wrong person, not only do you have to repeat the process but you also need to consider the hours of lost productivity in the workplace and things only start to escalate.
Recruiting is a costly business but not as costly as getting it wrong.
You've gone through a lot of profiles, you've read all their interests. You've spoken to a million match making agencies but none that you receive is ticking any boxes for you. You despair. Not because you feel you're never going to find the one, but because you seem to give so much time to the wrong ones.
We needn't tell you how much everyone hates having their time wasted. We all do. It's not that we mind expending time, it's that we don't like to do it when it's not worth it.
You don't want to be trawling through endless applications that are just not suitable for the role you're hiring for. You want to be only spending time with your strongest candidates. It's time to automate your processes, my friend. Reduce those (wo)man hours spent and significantly bring down costs by automating these processes from the offset. As soon as an application comes through, ping them an assessment, then only spend time with those that are truly the most compatible for you.
Just as an aside, one of our clients has moderate testing needs and we still save them 344 hours of phone screening time a year – that for them is a £14,000 saving. And that's conservative!
YAS! There they are. Swipe right! And we're chatting! This is incredible. You've done it, you've found the one. They're gorgeous, they're funny, they like the same things you like. Then you meet, and not only do they look NOTHING like their picture, you also have nothing in common. Is that even their name?
Catfishing isn't just confined to the internet and the dating world, catfish can greatly affect your hiring game too. I could say that I'm head engineer at Apple, are you going to believe me just because I've put it on my CV? Of course not but what if I said I had 7 years' senior developer experience? Maybe you would. It's plausible and it's what you're looking for. Maybe you'd get me in for an interview and I could talk the talk. Then you hire me and realise, too late, that I'm not as experienced as I said I was. Or perhaps I do have 7 years' senior developer experience but I'm just not that good.
57% of IT candidates embellish skill set on resumes and 55% enhance responsibilities.
If only there was a way to find out before you even interviewed them …
You don't need a 10x developer, well you might but the likelihood is you don't need one and if you find one, they're going to be waaay out of your league! You need the one that's right for you. Who fits into your company and has the skills for the job. You want a person you can depend on, the one who wants to do the job you need doing. You might already know them, you may have even rejected them before, but for a different role. You see, one (wo) man's trash is another wo (man)'s treasure.
And that's the important bit – that they're right for you. They might have all the skills you need but if they're not weighted in the right way, then they're still not going to be suitable for the job.
Your candidate assessment should be built with the role and the strategic growth of the company in mind. Weighting technologies according to their importance for instance, based at the different levels you need. It should also shortlist your candidates, so you're not wasting your valuable time on manual work that can be automated. Safe in the knowledge that your candidates are ranked according to their compatibility to the role. And you know, today is all about heavenly match making.
The message is clear – in the era of fake news, the only answer is to make sure.
Don't waste your time with the imitators, get yourself the real McCoy and fall in love with work again.
To find out how much screening time the ShowTech platform could save you, contact us and we'll be happy to help.

2.50ctw Red Hessonite Grossularite Garnet and Diamond Ring 14k White Gold Size 7
This ring features a rare and gorgeous Hessonite Grossularite Garnet. For anyone unfamiliar with the stone, it is a different type of garnet than what is typically seen. This garnet is bright red, the color of what an ideal ruby would look like. There is no purple or brown like the garnets typically seen on the market. The stone is a combination of cuts but has straight sides like a princess and notched corners. The ring is held with four simple prongs and framed by a gorgeous diamond band. The diamonds are G/H color and SI in clarity and total .50ct. The shank of the ring brings the sides up to a cathedral style with the diamonds and the prongs curve away and across to form the inside of the band. The ring is 14k white gold and weighs 3.8g. It is currently a size 7 but can be sized a couple of sizes for a nominal fee before shipping.

Help us, O God of our salvation,
for the glory of your name'
deliver us, and forgive our sins,
for your name's sake.
(Psalm 79:9)
Deuteronomy 34:1-Joshua 2:24
Moses was allowed to see the prize but not hold it. Moses had devoted his life to people who often did not appreciate him. After his death, they wept for him for thirty days, the mourning period for a parent.
His burial place is not known. His mourners could not make it a shrine or a place of pilgrimage. They had to move on.
Although his burial place has been forgotten, his leadership is not. The book of Deuteronomy ends with a eulogy, but these words of praise are not contemporaneous with his burial. Rather, they are written much after that time. These words reflect an assessment of Moses' place in the history of God's relationship with humans: No prophet after him was known to the Lord face to face. He was unequaled for all the signs and wonders he performed, all his mighty deeds, and terrifying displays of power.
They need a leader, and Joshua is chosen. We have two versions of his commissioning. In Numbers 27:18, God tells Moses to choose Joshua. In Deuteronomy 32:23, the Lord speaks directly to Joshua. Two versions, but not necessary contradictory ones.
How did the people themselves discern that Joshua was to be the appropriate successor to Moses? How is God's will ever discerned?
In preparation for their entry into that land beyond the Jordan, Joshua sent two spies to view the land. The only part of the land they saw for themselves was the house of Rahab, a prostitute, where they spent one night. The king of Jericho, having found out that spies were there, ordered Rahab to turn them over. She didn't.
After the soldiers left, she spoke to the spies that she had hidden, giving a speech that sounds like she had been reading Deuteronomy. She helped them escape.
Why did they go to that particular house? Why was she willing to protect invaders into her country? How had she learned the history of the Israelites?
Luke 13:22-14:6
Psalm 79:1-13
We can read this psalm and be able to put ourselves into the thoughts of those ancient people in Judah who suffered when the Babylon army invaded. "Foreigners have come in," they lament. "They have defiled the temple. They have laid Jerusalem in ruins." Both the center of worship and of government have been lost.
And lives were lost, too. So many were killed, that there weren't enough survivors left to bury them.
The lament does not stop with the listing of their losses. It includes what happens after that. Rather than wanting to support them or at least be sympathetic to them, their neighbors mock and deride.
I'm pausing to think about what would be the expected reaction by anyone to somebody else's suffering. How often do we think something like, "Well, what could you expect? After all, they really deserve what they got"?
And I'm thinking about how I feel when I suspect, or know, that onlookers are judging me. Now, since the psalm is a community lament, I should reword that to how I as an America feel when other nations mock my country for getting what they judge that we deserve. Suffering makes us feel bad. Being mocked rather than being sympathized with can make us feel worse.
What are we supposed to do when we have been hurt badly? We don't have to pretend that we like it. This psalm complains to God about what has happened and how long it has taken with no improvement in sight, "How long, O Lord? Will you be angry forever?"
The psalm suggests that it is not up to us to seek vengeance, but, rather, that we are to turn to God to take care of it for us, "Pour out your anger on them. They have laid waste to the land you have given us."
How willing are we moderns to allow God to handle the vengeance that we can so clearly see is really overdue?
Proverbs 12:26
Prayer for Today: Choose a prayer from Joan Stott's website The Timeless Psalms.

Dads, your big day is just around the corner. Sunday June 21st is your day to celebrate all that you have done for the family in anyway your little heart desires. To help you make the most of the special occasion, we've collected our favourite trends for men to keep you looking and feeling your best.
For those who have a casual day planned; perhaps at the park for a picnic, watching sports or spending the day shopping at Yorkdale with the family, put your best foot forward with the leading trend in footwear for men. We're loving the look of a bright white pair of trainers matched with your favourite casual shorts or rolled up chinos. If you're the kind of Dad who likes to walk on the wild side, opt for a neon trainer to keep your ensemble looking fresh. The comfort and versatility of this look is both fashionable and functional – two things we know all Father's love to be!
Psychedelics & Prints
Gents, when it comes to prints and patterns this summer; size does matter. We're talking the bigger the better, the more you can fit onto one print the more you'll be hailed as one of the most fashionable fathers on the block. If you're Father's Day plans include a meal out with the family, a backyard bbq with friends or a stroll around the streets of Toronto with the kids, prints are your new best friend. We're loving the Psychedelic look of oversized florals, patterns and colours. We found lots of inspiration from retailers such as Jack and Jones, Ted Baker, and TOPMAN. Mix and match your faves to find the perfect combo for you.
Short Trunks
Show some leg this summer with a higher hemline on those swim trunks! If you're planning to hit the pool or beach with the family this weekend, we recommend trying a few new suits on for size. The European inspired style has become all the rage here on Canadian soil. Look for a suit that comes to about 2 inches above the knee. Add a bold print or a white pair of trainers into the ensemble and you're undoubtedly ready to receive the "Most Fashionable Dad" award.
50 Shades of Denim
Although the sweet summer heat is beginning to kick in, we're still seeing denim on denim on denim when it comes to one of the hottest trends of 2015. Mix shades of denim into your look and sport the Canadian Tuxedo with pride if your plans this Sunday are casual, laid back and potentially indoors. A denim shirt is a perfect wardrobe staple which can be paired with swim trunks, more denim or basically any bottom you had your heart set on. If you're not interested in committing to a full on denim look, consider tops or bottoms with denim patchwork incorporated in. The casual touch will add personality to your outfit while allowing you to select lighter fabrics or different colours to play with.
A huge thank you to all the Fathers out there who selflessly devote time to their families every single day. You are our heros and we look forward to seeing how you celebrate this year.
Tag your Father's Day fashions using @YorkdaleStyle. Happy Fathers Day!

Many asked, are autoimmune diseases curable? Before answering the question, you have to understand what autoimmune is. Autoimmune is a disease that can't be seen. The disease attacks the human's body immune system. Whereas, the function of autoimmune is to guard the body against viruses, bacteria, and foreign cells.
So, imagine how your body will react when your autoimmune attacks your own body? And receives foreign cells? This will shock the body and cause the body to become weak. Some signs of the disease are hair fall, not focus and easily getting tired. Now, people are asking are autoimmune diseases curable or will it just become worse? Well, nothing is impossible, and these are some ways people have got better from autoimmune diseases.
1. Tight therapy with Doctor
The question of are autoimmune diseases curable is still hard to answer. Doctors haven't found the exact medicine for autoimmune diseases yet. However, it doesn't mean that it can't be controlled. Therefore, it doesn't cause side effects for the patients. Therapy and consuming doctors' medicine is a must. Ensure to consume the medicines right on time. This will help lessen up the pain and side effects of autoimmune disease.
2. Eat Healthy Food
A patient in the USA is an example of a patient that has got better. Despite getting treatments from the hospital the girl also made a change in her life. She started cutting off sugar, dairy and consumed the supplement. After a year of change, her blood pressure became normal and was healthier than ever. So, by controlling what you eat can also help cure your health. Plan a healthy diet such as a Keto diet in your daily life. At first, it will be hard.
3. Consume Omega3
A vitamin/ supplement that patients can consume to get better is omega3. This vitamin is known to help the development of human's brain. The component of Omega3 can help autoimmune of the body and prevent bacteria from entering the body.
4. Adjust Activity
Autoimmune disease may not be curable, but at least don't make it worse. Therefore, if you are diagnosed, remember your health. Don't make it any worse by working all day. Or have full activity. If your body is giving signs of tired, then take a break. Don't force it because it will make the disease worse.
5. Support from Family
Despite medicines, supplements, and healthy food, support is also a medicine to cure autoimmune disease. Families must support the patients and help as much as possible. The number one key to the cure is a spirit from the patients. Because most patients feel desperate, hopeless and feel like its the end. Therefore, make sure to support your family. Whether it is by helping their activity. Or just being by their side when they need you is a simple medicine.
So, are autoimmune diseases curable? Well, not yet. Doctors already found ways to make patients better but not cured. Rather than having to treat it, it is better to prevent it. Women have the biggest risk of getting this disease. 70% of the patients are a woman. But remember a disease will never choose a woman or man. So, for anyone who feels autoimmune disease signs, go to a doctor and check it out.

We are always on the lookout for stories about incidents about gas leaks at Analox, and when we saw this news story appear in our inbox, we knew we had to investigate it in more detail.
In early April, an employee at the Coon Rapids Burger King in Minneapolis received a phone call from someone who said they were with the local fire department. They claimed that there were dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in the building and that the building would explode if staff did not relieve the pressure inside the building.
This resulted in staff panicking and smashing the windows of the building, in an attempt to keep themselves safe.
Police quickly arrived on the scene and confirmed that the call was a hoax and they would never call a household or business and ask them to take action in this way. Apart from one employee suffering minor cuts, nobody else was injured.
Interestingly, this was not the first attempt to troll fast-food staff. Two months earlier, a manager of a Burger King in California drove his car into the building after a similar call, resulting in an estimated $35,000 of damage. In Oklahoma, staff caused $10,000 of damage to windows in a repeat event.
So….what was wrong with the story? The best lies are the ones which have an element of truth to them, and this prank call was no exception. Carbon monoxide is flammable which could lead to an explosion in extreme cases. However, due to its toxicity, it is far more likely to cause health problems or death before then.
In a fast food restaurant, carbon dioxide is more likely to be a danger. Whilst carbon monoxide is the unpleasant result of faulty gas appliances, carbon dioxide is always present in fast food restaurants as it is needed to carbonate fizzy drinks and soda. If there is a leak in the tubing carrying the gas, carbon dioxide can leak and potentially cause illness and death. For example, a carbon dioxide leak caused the death of a woman in a McDonald's restaurant in 2011.
Whether you are concerned about carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide in your place of work, a gas detector is an important piece of kit. Analox provide detectors which can alert you if concentrations of gases rise above a certain level. For example, the Ax60 carbon dioxide monitor has three different alarms depending on the level of gas in the atmosphere – 0.5%, 1.5% and 3.0%.
Unfortunately, as the quote goes: "If hindsight was foresight, we'd all be geniuses" and it is easy to panic and go to extreme measures if you believe your life is in danger. If there is a suspected gas leak at your place of work, the best thing to do is to evacuate the building, call the fire department and most importantly, not panic.

A MAN who pocketed at least £3.5 million running a Birmingham brothel moved his ill-gotten gains around the world in a desperate bid to hang onto the money, a court heard.
Carl Pritchett employed 19 women – mainly from Eastern Europe – and they provided sexual services at Cuddles massage parlour in Hagley Road, Bearwood.
The 56-year-old, of Holbeache Road, Wall Heath, Kingswinford, was jailed for two years at Wolverhampton Crown Court in 2006 for managing the brothel which, it is claimed, made millions of pounds in profits over a six-year period.
A hearing to try and seize Pritchett's criminally-earned assets heard papers found at the brothel after a police raid showed the sordid venue averaged nearly 500 customers a week.
The court was told Pritchett set up Cuddles in 1999 with money he made from running another brothel in Selly Oak.
John Butterworth, prosecuting, said cash raised through his illegal activities was sent around the world as he tried to stay one step ahead of the authorities.
The trail of cash went from Malaysia to Hong Kong before finally ending up in one of Pritchett's accounts in Spain.
"He was fighting tooth and nail to keep his ill-gotten gains," said Mr Butterworth, adding that Pritchett's "financial tentacles spread and wide".
Mr Butterworth said Pritchett succeeded in hiding his assets by using a string of false names and by creating shadow companies while keeping his own name off the books so the trail would not lead back to him.
The proceeds of crime hearing, in front of Judge Michael Dudley, is scheduled to last for at least a week.

The Dirty Dozen…
This is from the website K9 Critical Care, a place I trust and purchased Pet Mix food when Cody was first diagnosed. The only reason I stopped using this mix and started to prepare Cody's food from fresh whole ingredients was the cost… shipping and the food itself were very costly and Cody was a big dog with big vet bills. Important info here and great links… I urge you to take a look and do your own research as well. The life of your pets may depend on it… all in the name of a buck….
The recent consumer uproar concerning dog treats made in China and "pink slime", has shown not only the power of social media and word-of-mouth, but also the consumers' desire to know what is in the products they are feeding their pets, and from where it came. Dog food manufacturers utilize a number of misleading terms in their ingredients list, which must be illuminated in order for consumers to make informed decisions.
Wheat – the number one allergen in dogs and a contributing factor to canine obesity
Corn – Useless filler that is a known cause of allergies and is difficult for dogs to digest.
Corn gluten meal – Even worse than corn. Patented as a weed killer in 1991.
Soy – Considered a low-quality, incomplete protein well known to create food allergies in pets.
By-product meal – Bones, blood, intestines, lungs, ligaments, heads, feet, and feathers.
Animal Digest – the most disgusting ingredient of all. A combination of many animal parts: dead, dying, diseased or dying prior to slaughter.
Ethoxoquin – Used in the production of rubber and banned for use in human foods.
Egg product – eggshells, eggs that may have gone rancid or spoiled
Brewer's Rice – the broken shells of rice that lack nutrients and have been discarded by other food manufacturing processes; floor sweepings.
Cellulose – Just another name for sawdust. Very harsh on the digestive system.
Sugar in any form – Useless, unnecessary and adds empty calories.
Propylene glycol – Added as a sweetener. Used in antifreeze solutions, in hydraulic fluids, and as a solvent.
Check the ingredients list on the dog food you buy.

What are you feed your dog now? Find out what rating it gets from two independent websites:
Dog Food Analysis:Your independent site for dog food information and reviews.
Dog food reviews and dog food ratings updated regularly.
The Dog Food Analysis website above has a great purpose and this is from their ABOUT page. However there are no reviews of the Blue Buffalo Puppy Wilderness Chicken that I feed Oscar so I will be contacting them for some info:
Why does this site exist?
Because commercial pet food is, historically and on average, so incredibly awful. Really, that is the reality of the commercial pet food industry. We are bombarded with advertising that conjures up images of plump juicy chickens and garden fresh vegetables, told that the various foods around are scientifically formulated to provide our pets with every nutritional advantage and meet every need. At the same time, many of us feel we need a science degree just to interpret the labels. But the reality is quite different. "Scientifically formulated" is a term with no meaning. Do you scientifically formulate your dinner? Do you think you need to? Sounds quite ridiculous, doesn't it. No, you (hopefully) consume a range of fresh foods. That's what your pets should be consuming too.
Sadly, that's not what goes into most pet foods. Many pet foods are made up mostly of grain fragments (the left overs from the human food industry), with a small amount of meat thrown in and the whole thing coated with recycled used (and frequently carcinogenic) fats to make it palatable to our pets. In most cases, these are things we'd refuse to feed our pets if we saw them in their raw state. So why would we feed them when they are transformed into dry extruded pellets? Why are we feeding carnivores on grains anyway? We wouldn't try to feed fish to a cow, so why try to feed grains to our carnivorous cats and dogs? The answer is simple – it is far cheaper than feeding meat, and in any case, we can't make kibble without them (it won't stick together). But it has nothing whatsoever to do with good or species-appropriate nutrition for our pets. Neither cats nor dogs have any evolved need of carbohydrates in their diet at all, and these are readily converted to fat.
It is not the point of this site to explain what is wrong with many commercial pet foods, or to expose the many scandals and unpleasant practices that have gone on in this industry. If you're interested, it is easy to find that information for yourself. You're on the internet now: just do a search for information on things like "4-D meats", "phenobarbitol in pet food", "foods pets die for" and "what's really in pet food". You will probably find the results an unpleasant surprise.
Rather, the intent of this site is to give an assessment of the various commercial foods available, based on the ingredient information given by the manufacturer. No food can magically be better than the ingredients used to make it, and the information on this site constitutes our opinion of those ingredients and the overall species-appropriate quality of the food.
The ratings given and comments made about the foods assessed on this site and ingredients listed are the opinion of the Editors, who are a small team of volunteers each with a long standing interest in dog nutrition. If you disagree with their opinion, you are free to ignore it (do not email us because you are upset that the product you choose has been criticised or badly rated – we do not control what the manufacturer puts in the food). Click here to see how we assess the foods."
And this is a very interesting review of Blue Wilderness with even more interesting comments:
As I said in my last post… as if you have nothing else on your plate this research into what you and your pet's eat is time consuming yet important. I hope these links help you….

For trailers
Hendrickson has developed the Watchman wheel-end sensor technology to be used in trailers.
Hendrickson has launched the Watchman wheel-end sensor technology for trailers that features a J1939 interface. Sensata Technologies (ST) has developed the J1939 gateway unit. The initial product offering includes trailer tire pressure monitoring, wheel-end temperature, and wheel-end vibration data that will be communicated to the fleet through the tractor telematics system pulling the trailer.
Hendrickson is working with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) to develop standards for the industry in the communication of data and fault codes for trailer wheel-end information. "This common platform will allow the new Hendrickson Watchman wheel-end sensor to be used by OEM (original equipment manufacturer) manufacturers to provide crucial data from the trailers to their customers," said Omar Fernandez from Hendrickson.
Tire pressure monitoring, coupled with the inflating, relieving, and equalizing capabilities of Tiremaax Pro, already on the market, allows fleets to minimize tire wear and maximize fuel economy by managing the tire pressure on their trailers. Early warnings of vibration or heat in the wheel-ends will minimize the cost of repairs and maintenance of these crucial components. The sensor kit includes four battery-powered wheel-end sensors that transmit wireless RF signals to the Sensata gateway module, which collects data from the sensors. The information can be transmitted from the Sensata gateway module to the tractor electronic control unit (ECU) via a CAN-based J1939 network. Additionally, the wheel-end data output from the Sensata gateway module will be made available to on-board trailer telematics devices for transmission to the fleet's back office.
Future enhancements planned for Hendrickson Watchman technology series include adding advanced wheel-end algorithms into the Sensata gateway module as well as offering additional sensors on brake pads to communicate brake pad wear and suspension sensors to provide load sensing for each axle on the trailer.
Initially, this wheel-end sensor technology is offered with Hendrickson HXL Extended Life wheel-ends and will launch in early 2020 with a limited quantity release and full production later in the year.
Hendrickson, a Boler company, is a manufacturer and supplier of medium- and heavy-duty mechanical, elastomeric and air suspensions; integrated and non-integrated axle and brakes systems; tire pressure control systems; auxiliary lift axle systems; parabolic and multi-leaf springs; stabilizers; bumpers; and components to the global commercial transportation industry. Sensata is a supplier of sensing, electrical protection, control and power management solutions with operations and business centers in eleven countries.
