Buoyed by positive sentiment in the country since the start of the year, foreign buyers are snapping up South African property again.
Although some observers had predicted that foreign interest in South African property would decrease, this has not been the case, according to a report from Lightstone Property.
Their data shows that Gauteng and the Western Cape are the most popular provinces amongst foreign buyers, while the Eastern Cape is growing in popularity. "Gauteng and Cape Town are evidently at the top of the purchasing pile; Cape Town due to its cosmopolitan ambiance and multi-cultural inclusiveness, and Gauteng because of the thriving industrial and business hubs which offer many employment opportunities," explains Hayley Ivins-Downs Head of Property at Lightstone.
What foreign buyers are spending on property
Properties in the R2m to R3m price band remain popular in both Gauteng and the Western Cape, with growth of 21% and 27% respectively. In the higher value bands the Western Cape is the top performer in the country, followed by Gauteng. The R3 million to R4 million property value band in Gauteng has experienced a growth of 39% but a significant decrease in the above R4 million value band. The Western Cape in comparison has enjoyed the most growth in the R4 million value band and a negative growth in the R3 million to R4 million band. According to Ivins-Downs the upper value band in the Western Cape will continue to grow in popularity.
The suburbs that are popular with foreign buyers
Taking a closer look at transactional data within the provinces, Cape Town and Milnerton in the Western Cape; and Sandton and Johannesburg in Gauteng are the highest growth areas*.
Foreign buying in Gauteng
Historically, Lonehill, Sandton which used to be a very popular choice amongst foreign investors has declined somewhat. Parkmore has now become very popular and surprisingly Douglasdale has also shown an increase since 2016. Looking at Greater Johannesburg, Gauteng the foreign transaction growth in Parkhurst weakened, while Northcliff has become a very popular choice. Glenvista is shown to have increased in interest since 2015.
Foreign buying in the Western Cape
In the Western Cape, Cape Town foreign interest is far wider spread geographically. The growth in Sea Point which has been very popular over the last five years has declined, while Rondebosch has doubled in volume and Observatory, where new developments has tripled has become very popular. Kenilworth has also shown an increase in foreign investments since 2016. In Milnerton in the Western Cape, foreign transactions have grown in Century City. Table View continues to be a popular choice as it has in previous years.
"Earlier this year, Lightstone reported on the Western Cape Drought and how it did not deter foreign investors to look to the province for purchasing opportunities." The current view of the percentage of property transfers by province and purchase year is evident of this statement where the Western Cape is the top performer in the country. The province has shown a steady increase of foreign sales over the last five years which is currently sitting at just over 7% of total sales to foreign buyers.
Ivins-Downs concludes that with our president's focus to increase investments from abroad and his talent for negotiations, more and more foreigners will look for purchasing opportunities in the coming months and years.

Move Large Amounts of Data between different Data Marts (I12)
Topic: 2007 NA
Subtopic: DB2 for LUW
SPEAKERS: Ping Yuan (Bank of Montreal)
In data warehousing environment, quite often it is required to move large amount of data between different databases on different servers. DBAs can be challenged with the problem of data transfer performance, available disk space or security issues while doing this activity. We investigate and experiment with four different ways of moving data in our data marts.1.Export from remote server and locally load to target database2.Export from local server and remotely load to target database3.Export to a pipe and then load from the pipe to a remote database4.Establish a federated system between the source and target database and load from cursor with the nickname in the federated systemThe pros and cons of each method are described in the paper. The study shows which method is recommended for better data transfer speed and disk space consumption and which are more flexible to use in a secure and structuralzed data warehousing environment in the bank.

As we noted in Tactics Insurance Companies Use To Take Advantage of Accident Victims insurance companies are not on your side, they are not your friend. Insurance companies and insurance adjustors are looking out for their bottom line - which means paying the least amount possible on any claim.
After an accident you are working hard to get your life back in order. You may be facing long-term injuries, trying to get back to work, and dealing with financial concerns. You have a lot going on and a lot to worry about. Follow these tips to avoid being taken advantage of, and to ease the burden of dealing with insurance companies after a car accident.
Tip 1: Understand the insurance company is not on your side.
The insurance adjustor will act like she is on your side, like she is your friend. She will be likable, and she'll make you feel like she's concerned about your wellbeing. She's trained to garner your trust. Her goal is to make you believe she's willing to make you a reasonable settlement offer. Don't be fooled. Insurance companies routinely use manipulative tactics to minimize settlements. Again, they are looking out for their bottom line.
Tip 2: Do not settle your claim too quickly.
A fair and just settlement cannot be rushed. First, do not accept the first settlement offer an insurance company makes to you. Consider the first offer an opening offer, a place to start negotiations. Second, do not accept any settlement until you know the full extent of your injuries. Once you accept a settlement offer, that is the end of your claim. If you are still receiving treatment, or you find out later that your injuries require ongoing medical care, you will not be able to recover for those expenses.
Tip 3: Do not believe everything they say.
Insurance companies are known for unsavory business practices. Do not believe everything they say. For example, it is a tactic for an insurance company to deny a legitimate claim as a strategy, hoping you will give up. An adjust may even tell you directly that your claim is "worthless." If you hear this word, we encourage you to consult with a personal injury attorney immediately to protect your rights. We offer free consultations to people in Osceola County and Orange County, FL.
Tip 4: Do not give a recorded statement.
You are under no duty to give a recorded statement. The insurance company may tell you that recorded statements are routine and they are done in all claims. Understand that their intent is to use it to minimize your recovery. Even if your recorded statement does not harm your case, it is unlikely to help your case.
Do not give a recorded statement - but if you do, have your lawyer present, or at a minimum consult with an attorney prior to giving any statement.
Tip 5: Avoid talking to the insurance company right after an accident.
Talk with insurance adjustors only when you are of clear, sound mind. Avoid talking to an insurance company, even your own, right after an accident, while you're in the hospital, while on medication, or at any point when you are feeling overwhelmed. It is important that you are able to detect tactics insurance companies use to take advantage of accident victims.
Better still, don't talk to insurance companies at all! Exercise your right to hire an attorney to advocate on your behalf. Then you will not have to worry about manipulation tactics or being bullied into accepting a settlement offer below what your claim is worth. We offer free consultations and we do not require any payment up front. We get paid from the case settlement or judgment award.
We know how to properly value your personal injury claim. We have been dealing with insurance companies and their unsavory tactics for decades. When you hire us to represent you in your personal injury claim, you will have true advocates on your side. Unlike the insurance company, we will look out for your best interests.
Put our trial team to work for you. Call our office today (866) 767-4711 to schedule a free consultation.

Location: 1511 Anderson St
Before dinner we had walked down to Granville Island and decided to stick to something close by. My friend Julia suggested Tony's Fish and Oyster Cafe. When we arrived there was a wait to get in, but to be fair the restaurant was quite small. There wasn't enough space to sit in at the restaurant so we got it to go and walked down to the seating in the market place at Granville. My first instinct was to order the fish and chips, but my sister suggested that we should share the Seafood Sampler Platter for Two and we went with that instead because it encompassed so much more than just fish and chips. The platter had two pieces of fish and chips (one for each of us), four deep fried oysters, four butterflied shrimps, calamari and fries. With something as greasy as deep fried seafood, vinegar and/or lemon should be provided generously. This was not the case. We were only given one lemon wedge and two small packages of vinegar. Though I'm not a fan of oysters, deep fried oysters were bearable, but even so, I was only able to eat one, giving the other three to my sister. The butterflied shrimp were nothing special, but they had extra crunchy breading, which I suspect is panko, but can't be 100% sure. The calamari was the most disappointing to me. They were underseasoned and flavourless. The fish was good in the middle because it was really tender and the breading was so crunchy that it satisfied my need for crunchy food. However, despite all that, I felt that the fish was overfried because some parts of it had gone hard and melded with the batter, something which I don't think should happen.
Yes, it was a mess. Yes, it was greasy. But yes, I would have their fish and chips again if I ever got a craving. It was a quick meal, though next time I'd prefer to eat it in the comfort of my hotel room so no one will ever have to see my messy eating face. I would give this place a 3.5/5.

In this article we explore the relationship between tolerance and human rights in Uruguay, analyzing the asymmetry of purely attitudinal tolerance. This form of tolerance is unsustainable if the national community is defined based on the cultural values of the ethnic majority. We identify key moments in Uruguay's history that demonstrate the limits of tolerance, and compare the Uruguayan case with the Australian. Instead of attitudinal tolerance, we support tolerance that arises from the reciprocal recognition of rights. This form of tolerance, enshrined in law, is possible in a nation a common project of political negotiation and civic participation in place of a singular culture that requires assimilation.

that is easy to make with your kids and you may even have all of the supplies you need to make it in the house! P.S. Your kids and Hubby will love it too!
The girls and I always try to make gifts for Geoff that are useful as well as creative.
This year, while trolling Pinterest, I came across an image of a back massage t-shirt and knew it was the perfect kid-made gift for daddy this Christmas. It would be a fantastic Father's Day gift too!
You draw a map on the backside of a t-shirt and the kids drive cars all over daddy's back to give him a "massage." There was a lot of giggling when he opened it -- from daddy and his girls! The blog post that the shirt idea originated from, provided templates but we like to do things our own way.
We raided one of Geoff's white t-shirt style, 100% cotton, undershirts.
Then, we folded up some newspaper and put it inside to keep the ink from bleeding through to the front of the t-shirt.
We thought about using fabric crayons or markers but decided to use what was in the house
and it's probably not going to be worn or washed that much anyway!
So, we got out our permanent markers. I marked off some roads and "E" got to work adding the yellow dotted lines.
Then, both girls colored houses, a coffee shop, parking lots, a football stadium (On Wisconsin!) a play ground, and traffic lights.
So many fun details.
They named it "Dad-Ville."
After all of the details were in, we put it in a gift box with some new Matchbox cars.
The idea is that Geoff will wear the shirt and lay down on the floor while the girls drive cars all over his back! : )
We had fun working on it and their daddy loves it.
Happy Homemade Gift Making!

Playoff aspirations not reached in disappointing season
Ineffective offense leads to Braves' sub-.500 record in 2014
ATLANTA -- Instead of defending a division crown like their predecessors once did on an annual basis, the Braves endured one of the most disappointing seasons in Atlanta history. This marked just the third time since 1990 that they did not post a winning record. But unlike the 2006 and '08 teams, this year's club went through most of the season with legitimate postseason aspirations.
"It is definitely a disappointing season in all of our eyes here in the clubhouse, because we're geared to win," Braves right fielder Jason Heyward said. "We want to win, and that is what this organization my whole career has been about."
When the Braves lost two of their top starting pitchers -- Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy -- to season-ending elbow injuries less than 24 hours apart in March, there was reason to believe that this might be a trying season in Atlanta. But nobody could have predicted that the struggles would be a product of the anemic performance of a lineup that had scored the National League's fourth-most runs just a year earlier.
As they won 17 of their first 24 games, the Braves saw their reconstructed starting rotation produce an incredible 1.57 ERA. Like it was assumed that this overachieving quintet would soon experience a regression, it was also expected that the offense would start carrying the load. But the second part of this equation never came close to materializing.
The Braves entered the final days of this season feeling good about their rotation and bewildered by the offense, which spent most of the year proving to be one of Major League Baseball's least productive units.
"You look at the guys on paper and we have a great team, and we didn't live up to our potential this year," Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman said. "We as players need to take it upon ourselves to put this as a chip on our shoulder and come out in 2015 and show what we can do."
One year after notching 96 victories and capturing the NL East, the Braves fired general manager Frank Wren, who had entered this year expecting to field a roster that looked quite similar to the one he employed the previous season. There was no doubt the offseason departures of Brian McCann, Tim Hudson and Eric O'Flaherty weakened the clubhouse culture, just like the departures of Martin Prado and David Ross had entering the 2013 season.
But with Heyward, Freeman and Justin Upton in their lineup once again, the Braves had no reason to expect the offensive miseries they experienced this year. They endured a rough September for the second time in four years. But their skid actually started on April 29, when they began a five-month stretch within which they would play more than 10 games below .500 the rest of the season.
Record: 79-83, second place in the NL East
Defining moment: Though they had stumbled during a portion of July, the Braves had seemingly righted themselves just before they began an eight-game road trip to Los Angeles, San Diego and Seattle. They opened this journey by blowing a two-run, fifth-inning lead at Dodger Stadium and concluded it by watching Julio Teheran allow four third-inning runs after the Braves had gained a 3-1 third-inning lead over the Mariners.
The Braves lost each of the eight games during this road trip that served as the stimulant to the slide that would follow. There were a number of lowlights, but the most memorable misery of this trip occurred on Aug. 3, when a 10-inning loss to the Padres could have been avoided. Evan Gattis' inability to get a good read on a ball hit to left-center field gap led to him advancing only from second base to third base on a Chris Johnson double. Three batters later, B.J. Upton became the second Braves player in less than 24 hours to ground into a 5-2-3 double play.
What went right: When the Braves lost Medlen and Beachy, they filled their voids with Ervin Santana and Aaron Harang, who capably teamed to solidify the fractured starting rotation ... Though September proved to be one of the worst months he has experienced in Atlanta, Justin Upton actually exited August as a legit NL Most Valuable Player Award candidate ... Heyward led the Majors in Defensive Runs Saved and last year's leader, Andrelton Simmons, enjoyed a second straight top-three finish ... Craig Kimbrel became the first pitcher in Major League history to notch at least 40 saves in each of his first four full seasons. Kimbrel also broke the franchise's career saves record, which was previously held by John Smoltz.
What went wrong: Coming off a career-best year that provided him an unexpected contract extension, Johnson regressed back to the mean and then dipped even further as he endured one of the worst seasons of his career ... After hitting an unexpected 17 homers in 2013, Simmons developed some bad habits that further highlighted the problems he has had with gaining a sound and consistent offensive approach. Simmons' offensive problems were visible with a regular array of off-balance swings that might have been a product of a bothersome ankle ... After leading the Majors in home runs and strikeouts in 2013, the Braves maintained their strikeout rate and proved unsuccessful in their bid to clear the outfield wall with as much consistency ... The mistake to bring Dan Uggla back after leaving him off the postseason roster last year led to him spending two months as a limited bench player before being released with a little more than $19 million still owed to him through the end of the 2015 season ... B.J. Upton's second straight disappointing season has provided reason to wonder what the Braves will do with the approximate $46 million he is owed over the next three seasons.
Biggest surprise: When the Braves signed Harang hours after he had been released by the Indians during the final week of Spring Training, they became the fifth organization to employ him in one calendar year. Expectations were low and he seemed to be just a Band-Aid who would be traded or released at some point. But Harang was sensational throughout most of April, and he proved to be one of the steadiest members of the rotation.
Hitter of the Year: Though his numbers dipped in batting average, home runs and OPS, Freeman still proved to be the most consistent threat in the Braves lineup. Despite not producing impressive numbers in these traditional categories, Freeman still ranked among the top NL players in wRC+. The All-Star was also the only qualified Braves player to hit above .275 and compile an on-base percentage above .370.
Pitcher of the Year: Though he was shut down for six weeks to moderate the innings he totaled during his second full professional season, Alex Wood proved to be the club's most impressive member of the rotation. Teheran deservedly gained an All-Star selection and quickly rebounded after stumbling in early August. But Wood led the team in ERA, Fielding Independent Pitching and strikeouts per nine innings.
Rookie of the Year: Phil Gosselin made a strong push courtesy of the production he provided after he arrived in late July and Christian Bethancourt might have been a strong candidate had he not spent all of August back with Triple-A Gwinnett. But even with the late-season struggles he endured, Tommy La Stella gets the nod simply because he of the impact he made while serving as a regular at second base throughout June and July.

This week the Supreme Court in Life Technologies Corp. et al. v. Promega Corp., No. 14-1538, 580 U.S. __ (2017) (see copy here) ruled that the supply of a single component of a multicomponent invention for manufacture abroad does not give rise to liability under Section 271(f)(1) of the Patent Act, which prohibits the supply from the United States of "all or a substantial portion of the components of a patented invention" for combination abroad. It does not matter if that single component arguably creates "a substantial portion" of the infringing product, because the Supreme Court created a bright-line rule that a single component can never be enough. Thus, to violate 35 U.S.C. 271(f)(1), an alleged infringer will need to have shipped from the United States at least two components of a device, that when assembled in a foreign country, reads on a valid claim of a U.S. patent.
The Supreme Court has not favored bright-line rules in its recent jurisprudence under the Patent Act. In fact, the Supreme Court has often overturned the Federal Circuit for creating such bright-line tests, which make the law easier and more predictable to apply but sometimes at the cost of doing justice in a particular case. Perhaps the Supreme Court has become aware of the havoc they have created with unintelligible decisions like Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank International, 573 U.S. __, 134 S. Ct. 2347 (2014).

Toilet Rework Costs Re
Bathroom transform, personalized bathtub methods, accessibility products, bathtub wall surrounds, accessories, substitute shower bases, shower liners, tub to bathe conversion, bathe methods, shower doors and rods, bath liners, substitute bathtubs, shower wall surrounds, barrier free shower base, stroll in tubs. Televisions are additionally ceaselessly included in bathroom designs, with a mean value of $200-$500. Labor hours embrace time for primary job planning, setup and site preparation, materials dealing with, fabrication of installed materials, installation and cleanup. Typical costs range from $50 to $100 per hour, depending on the quantity of experience the electrician has and the intricacy of the work you need completed.
Sometimes, half loos or baths below one hundred square feet could also be best handled by a handyman at a rate of $60-$ninety an hour, as a lot of these projects are often too small for bigger contractors to deal with. A survey by NKBA on design tendencies confirmed that half of respondents paid between $10,000 and $29,999 for a bathroom remodel, while 31 {a714ac8402ee9cd2d7a6730a5b59f1e98c3fea9ebbd577a99ea4f70f52a533a1} reported paying more than $30,000.
I can't even get anyone to look and provides an estimate to complete a bathroom remodel- just the bath/bathe half has to be completed as the final one that was doing it died- the remaining is full and have all the gadgets and supplies already and paid for.
As a common rule, most people anticipate that the labor for a transform will price roughly twice as a lot as the supplies did. Make preparations to use another rest room during the renovation if mandatory. Small Kitchen Remodels: Small initiatives usually price $5,000 to $15,000 and include projects comparable to upgrading to environmentally friendly lighting, taps, appliances and home windows.
Self-importance costs vary from $200 to $20,000 relying on how many you're buying, the type of wood, and whether or not you choose inventory cabinets or have one thing constructed custom to the room. Also take into account that some of these tasks-bathtub set up/transform, bathe installation or cupboard installation-have smaller, cheaper alternate options.

Hey guys!
I'm new & just setting up. I seem to have a question every 5 minutes! Eeps. Anyhow, I spent a few hours setting up my workflow, & am a bit unclear on things. Thinking of just purchasing a worflow pack & tweaking. But wondering which one to buy!?
Whats the $30 difference between the 2 options for portrait workflow?
Does this include contracts in The Youngrens?
I'd like to set up assuming there is a studio manager, photographer & sales staff members. Would that make a difference?
Thanks :)

Technology has brought great new features to travel bags. Smart suitcases, like those from Barracuda and Raden -- two brands I've looked at for this column -- can have features like GPS trackers, proximity notifications (to more easily find your bag), and built-in charging stations to keep your mobile devices powered up as you travel. There are even models that will follow you or act as a scooter you can drive around the airport.
But just as airlines can bounce you from a flight under certain circumstances, they're about to refuse you entry if you have certain smart bags.
This started with American Airlines and quickly expanded to Delta and Alaska Airlines. CNN says United and Southwest will follow.
At that point, you can figure that every domestic airline will ultimately join in. And, reportedly, the International Air Transport Association may set industrywide standards in the near future.
The worry is the lithium ion batteries these devices usually sport. Starting January 15, 2018, a growing number of airlines will ban smart bags that have nonremovable batteries, even if the device is a carry-on.
The FAA and airlines have been concerned about lithium ion batteries in cargo holds for some time. If they caught fire, no one would know. The standard requirement has been that batteries be carried by the passenger into the cabin.
The rationale for carry-ons is that if bins are full, a bag might have to be gate checked and still end up in the plane's cargo hold.
The problem faced with some smart bags is that their batteries are not easily removable, in which case they won't be allowed on the plane. If you've purchased one of those bags, you could find yourself suddenly having to buy another case from an airport shop and leaving your tech-infused case behind. That would be one expensive disappointment.
The first step to take is to make sure your case is one that will pass muster. Many do, including Raden's and Barracuda's. According to reports, Bluesmart may be the only company whose cases have a nonremovable battery. It is trying to work with airlines on an exemption from the ban. But until there's definite word, you have to assume the worst.
But, to be safe, don't rely just on having a bag with a removable battery. Know how to take it out, and practice to become quick at it. If you're in a line at security or a gate, you want to show compliance and be on your way.

You know what the problem is when you graduate and start the interviewing process? You have perhaps half a dozen, perhaps twice that number of interviews under your belt. The people sitting there behind those big desks staring at you steely-eyed? They have done hundreds. That means they know the tricks, they know the strategies, and they know how to make you stumble. If you want to stand a chance at beating them at their own game, you have to be prepared.
Why should I hire you?
This one catches people a lot. They are afraid they will either come across as too arrogant or that they will not push themselves enough. The thing is that is not really what the question is about, and both those traps can be easily avoided if you realize that.
This is not about you telling them how amazing you are. This is about you showing how much you know about them (which is everybody's favorite topic). So show them that you know what the position entails and what skills will be required. After you have done that you can modestly admit that you have those skills (preferably with a few examples of where you've used those skills as showing is always better than telling).
Why is there a gap in your work history?
You have been unemployed for six months because you needed some time to chill out and get your priorities sorted. Or you spent some time living on a beach seeing if it is really true your skin turns green when you drink too many mojitos. Or you lived in your parents' basements and played video games. Fantastic! You do not necessarily want to tell them that though.
Instead, talk about how you used that time to make yourself a better person. Talk about freelancing work you did, social outreach, or how you spent your time searching for the perfect job (which is obviously the one you are interviewing for right now). Put a positive spin on things by showing how much you grew as a person.
You have been fired from your last job. How did it make you feel?
You have to demonstrate that you can take a blow without becoming either angry or resentful. So even if you are, burry that deep and instead tell them about how you used this as an opportunity to improve yourself so that nothing like this can ever happen to you again.
What is your biggest weakness?
A nasty question! There is no doubt about it. You better prepare to meet this one every so often, because a lot of HR managers have this one in their repertoire and like to throw it out there to see how you react.
The right way to go is to remember that strengths and weaknesses can be different sides of the same coin. So if you have a weakness, admit it and then explain to them how in some situations it can be a strength. Alternatively, take your greatest strength and admit when it might actually be a weakness. That way you show you understand yourself.
Have you ever had a bad experience with an employer?
This one is as much to see how you handle being put on the spot as to see if you will be honest. Remember, everybody is bound to have bad experiences occasionally. We are all human. So they are not going to believe you when you say 'no, never.' Instead think of something that did go wrong then admit that it was at least partially your fault and explain how you learned from it and how you will be better next time. That shows both humility and wisdom.
Do not bag on your previous employer! That will raise all sorts of red flags. Yes, it they might be bad people, but this person sitting opposite you will not have a better impression of you if you decide to tell them that.
Tell about a day when you messed up at work
Another one of those situations where you have to be honest and admit you have done something wrong. After all, nobody is perfect, and if you are not willing to admit you have screwed up you can wave the job you are interviewing for good-bye. Just like with the last question the trick here is to show what you have learned.
How would you deliver bad news to a colleague?
Here is your opportunity to demonstrate empathy and your ability to deal with a stressful situation in a grownup manner. So do not suggest you would send them a text or first let everybody in the office know so that you can all have a laugh. Instead, show them how diplomatic you are.
Will you be out to take my job?
Okay, here you can lie. 'No' is the correct answer. 'I doubt I could do it as well as you' is a good follow up.
How did you prepare for this interview?
Here is where you demonstrate that you care enough about the job to actually have researched the position (you did research the position didn't you?). So tell them how you went to the website and read this that and the other. Here you get to show off some of the things you learned, including talking a little bit about the industry as well as what their company specifically does.
Where would you really like to work?
'Here' is the right answer. Now you can be a bit honest and suggest that you want to ultimately move into another area in the company, but whatever you do, do not say another company name! That is a fantastic way to close the door on any opportunity to work there.
Last words
The most important thing to remember is that there will be other interviews and however many 'no's you get you only want one 'yes', so don't get too stressed out. You will get there in the end. After that, you will have to go through the hard work of keeping the job. That is not exactly easy either, but at this moment, that probably feels more like a 'wish I had that problem' problem.

You never heard of the word resume until before college, but here you are drafting and making your own resume right after your college graduation. Your resume is the initial, first or the fundamental step towards the professional life. It acts as a gateway, as it is through your resume or the CV, your interests, forte and your abilities are reflected and analyzed by the employers. With the help of this formal piece of document, you can demonstrate yourself. All your skills, abilities, your educational life and part time activities are discussed in this document, which allow you to sign up for the professional life. Also known as a CV, it mentions all your past academic aspects, your earlier job experiences and other achievements and awards you might have received. CV or a resume is drafted carefully and with intense detail, the reason behind this is that, it is through this paper, an employer will take further decisions on whether to hire an individual or pass on. Creating and initiating the resume is a complex part, some individuals, even though with an impressive background, are sometimes not able to get the job they desire. All because, they might have flaws in their resume or might have not cautiously and wisely put their strengths and abilities aside. So make sure, before applying, your CV stands out and is highlighted among the piles of many others. As hundreds of people apply for work every day, it becomes a challenge for the employers in terms of hiring and employment. They look for diversity and variations within the document, something that excites them and removes them from the monotony. So how can you make your resume stand out? Here are some of the basic tips. (more…)
Handling yourself with poise during a job interview takes preparation and practice. Not only do you have to do your research on the company and the position, you also have to practice your answers to tough interview questions. Before you go on your next interview, make sure that you have prepared answers to the following interview questions: (more…)
While interviewing for a job, you have to be composed and calm and give the best answers even when you are sweating! The interviewer, most probably a panel of interviewers, will be judging your every word and your every move to analyze your abilities and skills. So, you should go fully prepared to provide effective answers in the first go! Here, we have compiled a list of 4 questions, which every interviewer will ask, despite the nature of the job. Read ahead and get yourself acquainted with the answers beforehand! (more…)
The task of seeking a new job can be a stressful one. As the world's population grows by 1.14% each year (meaning approximately 75 million babies are born every year!), the global need for work and employment increases simultaneously. I don't mean the babies need to work (duh)!
What A Career Gap May be Interpreted As:
You may be skilled, educated, and very passionate about a certain job while applying. However, that itty-bitty gap in your chorological resume (again, this is preferred by most employers) can be a red flag for an employer who may interpret it as: "not familiar with current trends in the field" or "I wonder why no one was willing to hire this person." (more…)

The goal for recent college graduates interviewing for jobs is show the interviewer you are the best candidate for a position. In the following post, learn how to deliver a winning performance during an interview.
Interviewing feels like a performance. You carefully put on your costume, assemble your props, and repeatedly go over your lines until you can recite your strengths and weaknesses in your sleep. However, you're not a character – you're you. Here's how to give an award-winning performance, based on your true story.
We have heard that honesty is the best policy. When it comes to finding jobs, recent college graduates can get some advice on being honest in the following post.
How far would you go to get a job? Would you bend the truth? Exaggerate your work history, education and skills? Blatantly lie during a job interview? The Greek word parrhesia means "freedom of speech." It also implies that one is obliged to speak the truth even if that involves a degree of risk. And most certainly: unless
When college students are interviewing for jobs, they should prepare to answer these five potential questions in the following post with confidence.
The interview process can be a nerve-wracking experience. For some, it's tough to be the center of attention answering rapid fire questions for 30 minutes. Others lack the confidence and organization to make sure they hit all the points they want to emphasize. But, undoubtedly, the most stressful part of interviews is the standard questions that seem

The days seems to slip by, with some things started, and others finished.
The garden continues to show glorious colours, with
Brunsvigia Josephinae, this year 3 bulbs all flowered.
The Miscanthus Sinesis has the beginnings of those feathery heads on tall stems.
The sedum is another colour below the grasses.
I tried to resurrect the post that would not publish, but had an "error 404" every time. So here are some pics from our last ferry trip coming back to Wellington. They will all have some blur, it is in reality salt spray on the windows.
Waiting in the queue at Picton.It was a cool start. Maybe about 5 Celsius. ( Cool for March down here in NZ )
Marlborough Sounds, as the sun started to shine through the clouds.
Cook Straight is ahead, the rocks are the last we see of the Marlborough Sounds.
We were on the lower vehicle deck, it is a "drive through" and 3 cars went out ahead of us. The man is standing in front of the huge door which opens down, with a lot of sirens sounding, and huge hydraulic rams working.
Here is the door partly opened, taken through the windscreen.
I had a full day at Palmerston North Hospital on Wednesday. It poured on the drive in, and was still raining most of the morning. The Myoscan appointment time was nigh!!!
I managed, with some help, to find the " Nuclear Medicine" department, and after meeting the others in the waiting room, had my weight taken, and the radioactive tracer injection. Then a wait, and the first scan. The machine was like this, but I went through feet first. Not a comfortable table, a bit like concrete!!! But every staff person was so caring, and made the whole day go much better than I had anticipated.( until the stress test!!!)
Then after that scan, a wait of almost 2 hours, then off to the second floor for the stress test.This was not much fun, in fact it was hard work.Not a treadmill or an exercycle, but a drug, ( Dobutamine) to make my heart think it is exercising to the utmost. I had to march on the spot for FOUR minutes!!!
" Pace yourself, try not to walk too fast but lift your knees higher, remember that 4 minutes will seem to be a long time" was what the specialist told me at the start. He was absolutely correct. He started to give me the countdown, after 2 minutes, and encouragement as well, asking if I was short of breath.YES, did I have pain, yes, could I please lift my knees higher yes , as it became harder to breath or talk.
An ECG was done at the same time, and I think the antidote was also given by the infusion pump at the end, that took another 4 minutes until I felt slightly better. This was a scary procedure, and after having a treadmill test last year, know which I would prefer.
Then another walk, very slowly, downstairs,another lovely orderly was with me, his reassuring words helped so much. A short wait, another scan, this time about 10 minutes, then get dressed and off home.Phew, I was so glad to have a coffee after none for over 24 hours. My GP should get the results on Friday.
All staff were so caring, as we waited, in those in-glamorous white dressing gowns, over the standard green gown that did not fasten anywhere,as staff walked to and fro, two of us were told " Ladies, you are so elegant", another commented, " Waiting for the Day Spa!!" another " Good Luck", how we all needed a load of that.
Quotation of the day from Denis Waitley
" A smile is the light in your window that tells
others there is a caring, sharing person inside"

THE 38 watercolours of Joseph William Mallord Turner, safely ensconced for 11 months of the year under cover in the Print Room of the Scottish National Gallery (although I prefer to imagine their deepest, darkest vaults), are currently having their annual January airing, brightening up the dull early days of the New Year.
As Edinburgh residents familiar with this annual tradition will know, the works were bequeathed by the philanthropically-minded Henry Vaughan in 1900, whose stipulation that they should be displayed "exhibited to the public all at one time free of charge in the month of January", when the light which could fade the watercolours was at its lowest, was cunning thinking in terms of preservation. It also ensured that after more than 100 years of repeated display, these paintings are still fresh, in every way.
Turner was one of Britain's most innovative artists, his subjects ranging from vast mountains to modern technology – the steam engine, not least – and all glowing under his evanescent treatment of light and weather. The wonderful thing about the Vaughan bequest is that the watercolours and sketches – often made as studies for final works – range across Turner's career, from early topographical views to sketches made whilst on the hoof around Europe, worked up from the pen and sketchbook of an artist who, even in his seventies, never stopped 'looking out for storms and shipwrecks.' Absolutely essential January viewing, for those in striking distance.

There was a period of time, when my kids were young, when a good number of people I've never met knew more about my kids than many of my close friends.
These people knew a little about me, too, that I was a minister, for example. But about my kids, they knew all sorts of things. How Gracie would not sleep, how we were worried about Josef hitting his milestones.
These were minor things, really not too big a deal, for strangers to know. But they also knew other things. About my kids' birth mom, and their foster care journey – things that still some of my close friends don't know, things I'd consider too intimate to share from the pulpit, let alone with a bunch of people I've never even met.
These people, as far as I know, shared only two obvious things in common, first, they likely lived in or near Olympia, Washington; and, second, they all had a need for new furniture, and all decided to go look for that new furniture at a Macy's furniture store near the Olympia Mall….where my mom worked for over two decades.
And, where my mom loved to share all the things about all her people with all those who came shopping for furniture.
My mother has been a good sport given all the times I've talked about her in sermons, and I have talked about her A LOT. Sometimes not in the most flattering light. I appreciate this, so much, because my mom does make for really good stories. Other than asking me to sometimes make sure people know that – even though she had a hard time when I first came out, she came around and is now my partner's biggest fan.
Other than that request, she mostly just runs with it. Which, I've always thought had to be because she knows, given her impulse to share with anyone and everyone – anything and everything – it's all kind of fair game in return.
My mom's tendency for TMI has meant I have spent much of my life trying to sort out the question of what to share, or when, and with whom.
TMI – that is, too much information, isn't just about providing too much detail – it's more – when what's being shared is too personal, or intimate to be shared at all, or at least with the person or persons you are sharing with.
The phrase didn't exist when I was growing up, or I would've said it a lot, both to my mom, and sometimes to myself. As a kid I was simultaneously the one that always had their hand raised wanting to share, and the kid that felt total shame and embarrassment after having actually shared, anything, even if it wasn't actually TMI.
Researcher and writer Brene Brown calls the shame that comes after sharing a "vulnerability hangover." Brown is well known for her work around vulnerability, which she describes as the birthplace of true belonging, the practice of showing up with our "authentic imperfect selves" and "letting ourselves be seen."
The flip side to this courageous practice, however, is – as she says, "that feeling when you wake up and everything feels fine until the memory of laying yourself open washes over you and you want to hide under the covers" forever. That feeling is a vulnerability hangover.
Thinking back over the past few Sundays at Foothills, and our Be Real series, one of the moments that stands out for me is the Sunday after our #MeToo service.
It was Easter Sunday, which is usually one of the most up-beat services in the year, everyone comes in with that hopeful, spring-like feeling….but in the first few moments in all three services, there was an uncharacteristic tentativeness in the room, a shyness, a tenderness – did you notice?
Between the services Sean and I checked in – what was going on – though we got to the usual Easter feeling by mid-way, all the services started out nervous. I think Sean was the one to wonder aloud – maybe, they have a vulnerability hangover.
The #MeToo service was intensely vulnerable, for many of us, and coming back into the space as a community for the first time, consciously or sub-consciously, maybe it just hit that space in us that I felt as a little kid – first, so grateful to have raised my hand, so happy to be called on, and to get to share – and then after having talked, wondering what in the world I was thinking.
Vulnerability is a tricky thing, and not just for me, or my mom. It's tricky for all of us. It's the thing we are drawn to in others – think of anyone who you've heard speak that you found powerful and engaging, it's usually someone who has shared something vulnerable. But, as Brown says, but it is also often "the thing we are repelled by in ourselves. We see it as courage in others, and inadequacy in ourselves."
The vulnerability hangover – unlike other sorts of hangovers – doesn't necessarily mean we overdid it, but more that we pushed ourselves outside our comfort zone – and the "hide under the covers feeling" reflects the fear that what we have shared will have revealed us as unworthy, less than – that we will become reduced to our disclosure rather than heard in the fullness of our truth – and that rather than the connection we were seeking, we will experience the opposite – judgment, rejection, more shame.
This is why I almost always assume that the thing that someone talks to me about may not be the thing they actually want to talk to me about. People want to be seen, and heard, and known –not just want, need. We need to be seen, heard, and known.
It's why we did a series called "Be Real" in the first place – it's a basic human need – this longing to belong, not as the person you wish you were, or the person the world says you should be, but as you, flawed and also whole, and good, and still learning.
But we are also scared of being seen, heard, known, which means we are often unpracticed at sharing and revealing. So instead of saying the thing that would allow us to be seen and heard and known, we say other things that keep us mostly safe and hidden. We share opinions and disclose our expertise, sometimes at length; we debate ideas and politicians that we don't know personally; we offer our insights that for the most part keep our real selves shielded, but also inevitably frustrated and angry that we aren't being seen, or heard, or known.
I try to remember when someone is especially heated in their idea sharing, or especially passionate in their analysis of a situation large or small – that behind that fire is a huge longing to connect, to be seen, and heard, and known.
In a small group I was leading a couple of years ago, we were exploring these sorts of questions, and one of the participants shared that one of the main reasons she was in the group was because really wanted to learn "how to share and express her feelings, in an appropriate way."
When she said that, I thought to myself, that is maybe the most Unitarian thing to say ever.
Because this is so often what Unitarian Universalists struggle with.
We are so often well versed in academics, or in business or with social and political activism. But knowing how we feel, as individuals, in our own lives, and then learning how to name those feelings, and the stories behind them, and maybe even the underlying need they connect to, and then sharing those stories in an appropriate way with others. We're beginners.
Which means, that sometimes in our attempts to be seen and known, we do the opposite of holding back from our stories, and instead go all in, and suddenly find ourselves knee-deep in TMI.
You know, that impulse when you've just met someone and they seem really great, and you have a lot in common, and you're sure that they could totally be your friend…and suddenly find yourself disclosing a really vulnerable story or reality about your life – I wish I could say I didn't have an example that immediately comes to mind.
But a couple of years ago, I was having coffee with a potential new friend. We'd hung out a little before, but this was our first sit down and chat, and after a few sips, I launched into a struggle that I was working through, and gave lots of detail, and….I way overshared. I knew it about three quarters of the way through. But it was too late. I still blush when I think about it.
It's not easy to make friends as adults, and so sometimes we try to jump ahead. It happens.
What's interesting about these moments of oversharing is that actually they have the same impact as not sharing at all. Which is why Brown theorizes that oversharing is just as much a strategy to avoid vulnerability as under-sharing. Because oversharing attempts to manifest connection before the connection has actually been earned – tries to gain a connection without risking real intimacy, and "tests" a relationship to see if it is actually trustworthy for real connection.
But since oversharing often "results in disconnection, distrust, and disengagement," the answer to this trust question usually ends up being a resounding, "no," which just reinforces the skepticism that led to the over-share in the first place.
I have found that this question of what to share, and with whom, and how much – has not gotten any easier as a minister – where connection is like the main point of the job, but also so are boundaries. This is true for any of us in a public role, or in a position of trust – or even for any of us who are on social media – which, as congress has been trying really hard to work out this week – is far from a "private" conversation.
Carey Nieuwhof, a Christian pastor and leadership teacher talks about trying to navigate the question of sharing, and oversharing, and how early in his career, he was reticent to disclose anything personal about himself, and definitely didn't want to "share [his] struggles, [because he] thought [he] had to have it all together."
As he started to get more experience in ministry, however, he started to share more, until at one point, he had just gone through a time of serious burnout, and he was coming out of it, and he decided to share with people what he had just gone through with a class he was teaching. Afterwards, one of the organizers of the event came up to him and said,
"'Wow….that was tough…Are you sure you don't need more counseling?'"
He realized instantly the mistake he had made – It wasn't that he shouldn't share the stories of his burnout with someone – but at that tender stage where they weren't fully processed, it probably wasn't yet time to be sharing with these strangers enrolled in his leadership seminar.
Nieuwhof says that since then, he's been clear about that you shouldn't share something with strangers that you haven't fully processed yourself. What you share in "public" are those things that you've worked through to some degree – the Rev. Nancy Bowen says – I believe in a wounded healer, just not one that's actively bleeding.
Whatever stuff you are currently still trying to work through – that stuff doesn't belong with anyone other than your "inner circle," your trusted friends, and family, which means you need an inner circle of trusted friends, family, mentors. And I mean, really, one, or two, maybe three – that's a lot.
Sometimes our culture gives us an idea that we should have a whole host of close friends – but that just isn't the way it works. One. Maybe two. Three if you are the luckiest person ever. These are the people that can hear all of it – in whatever state the story is in – processed or totally raw…the ones who, as Brown says, wade into the deep with you.
And then maybe there's another layer beyond that of people that you can share most of the stuff with. Another two, three, four. Maybe.
I already said it's hard to make friends as adults, so I understand the struggle here, truly.
But also, this week….this week has been another week that reminds me how much this all matters – for all of us – and for our world – that we are going to make it in these times, if we are going to find a way forward – this seeing each other, hearing each other, holding each other – it needs our attention, commitment, and discipline. Which makes it sound way less fun than it is!
My inner circle, when we get together, we spend a lot of time laughing. Even when we're wading in the deep. Belly aching, tear-mixed, healing laughter.
It's often a reason that people will come to church, to make these sorts of friends (if we talk to any of our new members I'm guessing a good portion would mention friends as a motivator) – but even here, how to go about it isn't obvious. Because, if you go up to someone in the social hall after the service, with your coffee, and launch into that story you've been needing to share and be heard and seen for…I'm thinking you're going to get that same look my potential friend gave me when she and I went for coffee.
Even here it takes time, commitment, discipline – laughter – join a gather group or other small group if you haven't yet, serve with others, show up, join in, be real – as our series since January have been encouraging. There's no magic route to developing an "inner circle." There's no fast track here, or anywhere.
It takes time, and worse than that, it takes failure. It takes being willing to trust people that end up being unworthy of your trust, and it takes opening yourself up to rejection, and the ways that love just will not promise to stop breaking our hearts.
But then the amazing thing is that sometimes….it works. Suddenly that friend you've been building relationship with, being vulnerable with, sharing your stories of struggle with – they hear us into speech, listen us into belonging, hold us with an openness that feels both like home, and the wide open sky, all at once. We find ourselves laughing our way into healing, and resilience, and a capacity to keep going.
And so we keep trying, keep practicing, keep sharing our stories, and keep making space for the real, the brave, and the becoming more brave – together.
May it be so, and amen.

The Importance Of Christian Education In Today's World
The Importance Of Christian Education In Today's World
It's simple — by going against the evaluation-driven, centralized model that much of the Western world uses. They get knowledge and discriminate which is wrong and which is right with the help of education. If you do, just a rich kid who gets a quality education, while the majority of the nation's children not in school or have to settle for less quality education. What could be done is that the government should form a research team immediately which would try to find out which type of education system is in the larger interest of the country.
You may also want to display these inspiring quotes in the staff room at your school. Education can be viewed as consumption, as investment and as consumption and investment are complementary. The website provides information for example about basic education, studies and training opportunities in Finland as well as Finnish courses. Another importance of education is that it helps you gain sufficient academic qualification so that you are able to get suitable employment at a later stage. Included in this category is at the level of education after compulsory education, namely high school (SMU and SMK), and Universities.
About 20 years ago, maybe we can still rely on the remnants of the quality education the Dutch colonial period, but not evenly. According to media news Pakistan celebrated education and Malala day with the hope that the government will provide equal education opportunities for everyone. Trump also last week invited a torrent of criticism, including from legal scholars on the left and right, for accusing the judge presiding over the California suits, U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, of being biased because he is of Mexican descent. Although the exodus is at a mass scale, yet China is growing in popularity with international students as a prospective destination for higher education.
The world of education requires educators who really want and serious in educating, also need learners and educational materials that have been concept because the material becomes one of supporting education in success. Therefore if students at the secondary level do not appreciate the importance of education in Singapore, they will be at a grave disadvantage. First let us by always say their gratitude for the presence of God Almighty for the blessings as well as his help we all are still given the age of being able to gather here in order to read the text of the speech on the theme of education.
These need to be designed to inspire the learner to move freely within the educative opportunities provided, regardless of whether this occurs in formal education or in everyday life (Thomas & Seely Brown, 2011). Speech education should include the three materials presented, the material on educators, learners, and educational materials, whether formal or non-formal education because of three elements are interrelated with each other. Education is one of the ways of the many ways we can be reached by Indonesia's achievement of a more advanced and better.
