If you're reading this, then you're probably at the point where you've begun receiving calls for job interviews; which means that you've successfully made an impression on the employer with your resume.
Well done.
But that is just the beginning.
Here are 9 best interview practices to ensure continued success – for the interview up next, or the ones that'll follow in the years ahead.
1) Do Sufficient Research on the Hiring Manager, Role, and Company you've applied to:
Before the day of the interview, spend some time reading up on the company's background, their core area of work, practices & policies, and maybe even a milestone/s that they were credited for. Alongside, consider looking up the people you'll be talking to at the interview, in terms of what their professional journeys were like.
This kind of research comes handy at several instances during the interview – where you could be making a formal reference to the company or a cordial one to the people in the room. Plus, it goes that extra mile in establishing your interest and sincerity towards the job.
2) Run Mock Interviews Beforehand:
Mock interviews are a fun way to discover and overcome the many (small and big) loopholes that may have missed your attention otherwise.
Get your spouse, friends, or anyone you think will be happy to pitch in, to run a couple of these. Mock sessions help one loosen up and build confidence while getting multiple perspectives. You could also do this using the mirror to watch your facial expressions when answering some common questions. Facial cues are a huge part of the interviewing process, so make sure you learn yours and correct them if need be.
3) Dress Smart:
First impressions go a long way in seeing you through new introductions – especially professional ones. And the 'right attire' is key to creating and building on those impressions.
- Pick an outfit that's comfortable, but also fits the company's work culture, so that while you're being you, you've also taken care to include them. Make sure that it's clean, neatly pressed, and laid out on your rack the night before.
- Keep your accessories – jewelry, bags, and the like to a minimum.
- Use a mild deodorant. It's always nicer to be in the company of someone smelling fresh, rather than otherwise.
- And, try and chew on some fennel or a mouth freshener before you enter the office premises.
4) Arrive on (or even Before) Time:
Unless there's an emergency of some kind, there's really no reason to be late for an interview.
To avoid delays, plan your commute in advance, and leave well in time. In fact, try arriving 10 – 15 minutes prior, so that if there are any formalities to deal with, you have the liberty to do so. In doing this, you've not only scored with your employer but also gifted yourself a healthy head space to take on all that lies ahead.
Having said that, if you are running late for some reason, call the company and let them know why you're held up, and by when they can expect you.
It's a sign of professionalism and speaks volumes about you as an individual.
5) Introduce Yourself with a Smile and a Firm Handshake:
These two gestures can set the tone right, from the start.
If you have a panel of members you'll be talking to, shake hands with each one of them, also getting them to introduce themselves to you. It tells them that you're just as interested in knowing them as they are in knowing you.
To enhance the introduction, prepare for and keep ready your 30-second pitch when asked to 'say a little something about yourself'.
A 30-second pitch is an ideal way to showcase yourself. It packs in everything an employer may want to know, crisply, within 30 seconds – just about the initial span of attention you'll receive from someone new.
6) Relax During the Interview:
Body language is everything. If you're nervous, it shows. If you're confident, it shows.
So try not to fidget – i.e. twitching, playing with a pen, brushing back your hair or wandering off in the distance - because it can be extremely distracting and annoying.
This is where your mock interviews (see point#2), will make a huge difference. But also bear this in mind:
- Imagine the interviewer to be someone you're going to make friends with. It'll help you relax and maintain a congenial, yet precise tone.
- Remember - 'You Fit the Bill'. They need your talent and skill too, which is why you are sitting where you are.
- Stay aware of your body posture – maintaining one that's calm and composed at all times, but don't be overly cautious. It defeats the purpose of being true to yourself.
7) Showcase Your Strengths:
To illustrate your skills, one must be deeply aware of their abilities, while also being comfortable in surfacing them in a conversation, or in a situation that calls for application. So, ensure that you have internalized on this aplenty before you begin accepting interview calls.
In fact, if you are mindful of your capabilities, you won't shy away from sharing instances of how through learning, pitfalls turned into stepping stones, and weaknesses became your checkpoints for success.
8) Ask a Question or two About the Company:
A pleasing conversation is one where both people share and inquire about one another. Where listening is just as important as talking. Conversations that are one-sided don't really make for great memories.
And we already knew that, didn't we? But sometimes, our nerves get the better of us during what we think is equivalent to giving an exam!
So save a question or two that you'd like to ask the interviewers, either during or at the end of the interview. It's a splendid way to 'call it a wrap.'
9) Send in a Thank-You letter, Email, or Text Message the next day:
This end gesture may not get you the job, but it'll certainly give you an edge over all the other candidates that didn't think it important to do so.
A letter, text message, or an email to each person on the interview panel to express gratitude for the experience and the learnings that you walked away with is in actuality, basic interview etiquette.
Besides, it certainly qualifies for indelible lasting impressions.

Annie is not normal. She has an ability – one that could condemn the very universe. People will kill to get to her. There is one man who can keep her safe. But to get to him, she must battle her way through assassins, armies, and friends. The stakes could not be higher, for they are everything.
For 450 years she was enslaved to one of the masters of the Kore sects. She was forced to fight in endless battles. War, destruction, desolation – all wrought by her.
But then she escapes. Seeking revenge on her master, she turns to the only group powerful enough to help her – the Coalition. She joins the Academy. It should be easy. It isn't. She rapidly finds out that despite her raw power, she needs more to become an effective recruit. But now is not the time for failure. There is a spy on Academy grounds – a spy who is tearing the Coalition's intelligence to shreds. She finds herself drawn into the hunt. A hunt she will not lose. For she is Axira, the most powerful spacer in the Milky Way.
Leana'x is a member of the Artaxan Royal Family. She's hardly a princess, though. She's 100th in line for the throne. It would take the complete destruction of the Artaxan Family for her to ever see the Royal Palace, let alone take up the vaunted role of Prime Queen. Leana'x wouldn't want the role, anyway. The Prime must bodily process the constant, immense information stream of her people. Ensign Leana'x is happy tinkering in the engineering bay and taking orders.
When the Artaxan Protectorate is attacked, Leana'x is thrown together with a man who hates her in a fight for survival that will span the galaxy and change everything.
She's easily the unluckiest witch in the country. But all that's meant to change, for today she starts a new job. She's expecting something behind a desk – she doesn't get it. As soon as Anna sets foot in town, the trouble starts. There's a dark wizard haunting the streets, and he's after witches. When she becomes his target, she's pulled into a desperate race against time. With a full cast of leather-clad barmaids, dashing bounty hunters, and debonair wizards, Anna's Hope is a rollicking urban fantasy, packed with humor, adventure, and mystery.
Lizzie Luck is magical. Apparently. The DNA test came back proving she's from the otherworld. She's unemployed, has 24 dollars in her account, and is so out of luck it's killing her.
Things couldn't get worse, right? Wrong. When she winds up in the police station and comes to the attention of the city's richest, most charming and most powerful vampire, her fortunes take a turn for the worse. Soon she finds herself under contract to him. She has to agree to his terms, and in return, he'll find out who she is. From magical murders to dangerously attractive vampires, Lizzie is thrust headfirst into a world of intrigue, mystery, and fantasy.
Agent Mira works for a shadowy agency. She forms part of the line of defense between good and bad - between Heaven itself and the fiery depths of Hell. However, the section of the defensive line she inhabits is minuscule and insignificant. That is until everything changes. A series of strange coincidences see Mira pitted against creatures far beyond her skill.When her misadventures push her into the arms of the Agency's finest officer, everything gets better. Sorry, no - it gets worse. See, Hell itself has a plan for Mira, and it won't stop until she fulfills it.
In the Zenith Kingdom, kings are not born - they are remembered.
Their memories are held in the dreams of their brides-to-be. Find one of these brides, and she can bestow upon a man the powers of a ruler past. There was a time when the Zenith Royal family had to search the galaxy for brides - now all are kept in the palace. They think they have every bride under control; they don't. One has eluded them, and within her dreams rests the most powerful king there ever was.
What would happen if one of the most highly-trained and vicious assassins in the galaxy attacked you one warm summer's night? What would happen if you were thrust into an adventure with the galaxy's greatest heroic heart-throb? What would happen if a mysterious and ancient race appeared with one desire – to kill you? What would you do? Jane grew up knowing one thing: she's nothing but normal. But then one little run-in with an assassin robot threatens to destroy everything she thought she knew about herself. Soon she finds herself with none other than Lucas Stone, the galaxy's number one pin up and hero. And together the two of them have to find out exactly who Jane is and what's after her before the galaxy is plunged into war.
Then she encounters a problem. She's just inherited her grandmother's house. That's not so bad, right? Wrong. Because the house comes with a book, and the book comes with a curse. Suddenly Chi finds herself thrust into the gritty world of a seer. Yeah, because magic exists, and it ain't pretty. Oh, and there's another problem. One with broad shoulders, a deep Scottish accent, and a killer smile. Turns out he's her magical bodyguard, and he's here to stay. Chi is pushed into a realm of violent magic, petty lies, and a curse that will haunt her until the day she dies.

British Curling has announced the Programme Wheelchair Squad for 2019-20, as the Wheelchair Curlers prepare for the second year of the Paralympic cycle building towards Beijing in 2022.
Four members of Scotland's silver medal winning team at the World Wheelchair Curling Championships earlier this year are among those selected to receive Programme support and investment. David Melrose and Gary Logan made their debut at the World Championships when it was hosted in Stirling, having joined the Programme for the first time at the start of that season.
Melrose, who was a former fire-fighter, said he was delighted to have been selected to the Programme for a second consecutive year.
"My first year on the Programme was pretty meteoric, experiencing the routine, discipline and team work required for squad training and tactical work, plus gym sessions and focusing on nutrition to optimise performance was all very new to me. It was a steep learning curve and extremely rewarding when I was selected for the Scotland team and the highlight of reaching the final and playing against China's Paralympic Champions was something I could never have imagined possible and shows what can be achieved in the fast moving environment of elite sport.
"Curling gave me a renewed purpose after my accident, the Programme taught me about self-discipline and effective team dynamics. Combined with a lot of hard work and effort, the impossible becomes possible and dreams become a reality, last year's result shows us that any goal is achievable."
Fellow debutant Gary Logan, who was alternate at those Championships, agrees with his teammate's sentiment: "I am extremely grateful to have been selected for my second year on the Programme. It made a huge difference to my curling and the experience of a home World Championships has spurred each and every one of us on to achieve more success in the season to come."
Fellow World silver medallists and PyeongChang Paralympians Hugh Nibloe and Robert McPherson – who was also a member of the 2014 ParalympicsGB bronze medal winning team - are the two most experienced members of the squad. A notable omission this year is Sochi bronze medallist Aileen Neilson who, after skipping her rink to a sterling podium finish in Stirling whilst making her ninth appearance at a World Wheelchair Championships, has decided to take some time out from the elite game.
Neilson said: "I have been in the squad for 14 years and our success at Stirling helped us to accrue qualifying points at the next Paralympics and it really gave me an opportunity to reflect on achievements over the years. I decided that by taking some time out I could enjoy some quality time with family and those close to me and also explore other avenues and projects.
"I am a qualified Level 1 Coach and Tutor and as a former primary school teacher I want the chance to go into schools and inspire kids and the next generation of curlers, so really this is my time and chance to give back a bit to the sport I love," she added.
Gary Smith and Charlotte McKenna, both of whom were on the Performance Foundation Squad last season, have worked hard to achieve Performance level support this year, while newcomer Rebekah Nimmo completes the line-up, supported at Performance Foundation level.
British Curling's Head Wheelchair Coach Sheila Swan said; "Congratulations to all of those who have been selected for Performance or Performance Foundation support. Last year's success in Stirling created a benchmark for all of our athletes as we now look to continue that upward trajectory whilst targeting further titles in the season ahead, consolidating our progression in this Beijing Paralympic cycle."

Eduardo Cuoco, Anamarija Slabe
and Marco Schlüter from TP Organics
TP Organics is the European Technology Platform (ETP) for organic food and farming research. It integrates views of the organic sector and civil society to represent a broad perspective on research and development priorities that can leverage organic food and farming's potential to address contemporary challenges. As other European Technology Platforms, TP Organics plays a key role in highlighting where the focus of research and development funding should be placed.
Hans-Jörg Lutzeyer.
European Commission.
DG Research and Innovation
with the handbook on
organic research
One of the cornerstones of TP Organics is to engage stakeholders along the whole food supply chain, including consumers, in determining the research needs of the organic sector. From the very beginning TP Organics has been fully opened to a wide range of stakeholders, especially to civil society, farmers, and with particular attention to SMEs (or SME associations) which are often neglected by other ETPs and in research in general.
Currently, 28 umbrella organizations/networks in the field of sustainable agriculture, research, environment and consumer protection are member of TP Organics. Also SMEs and 4 national technology platforms for organic research (Hungary, Italy, Czech Republic and Spain) hold TP Organics membership. Finally, TP Organics collaborates with 20 research institutes of research networks, who also support the platform financially.
Since its establishment, TP Organics has worked to enlarge its membership to include European organisations, SMEs and national platforms. The following is a short description of the different categories of members.
Dacian Cioloş EU Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development:
17 February 2014. A meeting was organised in Brussels between PAEPARD and TP Organics which among others discussed the consortium creation around the Horizon 2020 theme SFS-18-2015: Small farms but global markets: the role of small and family farms in food and nutrition security.
Horizon 2020 projects
Among others, TP Organics helps organic farmers and businesses to build consortia with research partners under Horizon 2020 projects.
"I am very pleased with the strong support we have received for the development of the EIP-AGRI, including from IFOAM EU, ARC 2020 and TP Organics. We are pleased with the strong commitment taken by the representatives of IFOAM EU and ARC 2020 in the High Level Steering Board, as well as their involvement in the Focus Groups of the EIP-AGRI. I also welcome the recent recognition of TP Organics as one of the European Technology Platforms. The platform has an important role to play in bringing practitioners and researchers together and identifying innovation goals for organic. With funding coming on tap in 2014 for operational groups under Rural Development and for multi-actor projects and thematic networks under Horizon 2020, I hope that the organic sector will continue its strong involvement in the EIP-AGRI and help make it a success".
- The European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability, or EIP-AGRI, is a new policy instrument for more stakeholder and demand-driven research and innovation in agriculture. It contains several elements that are supportive of organic farming and agroecological innovation.
- The dossier The European Innovation Partnership: opportunities for innovation in organic farming and agroecology (Brussels 2014, 36 pages) is there to help the organic sector and the agroecological community understand the implementation of the EIP-AGRI. After a general introduction to the EIP-AGRI in the first chapter, the concepts behind the new approach to innovation are explained. The third chapter addresses the EIP-AGRI activities at EU level.
- The EIP-AGRI is fundamentally about bringing expertise from the worlds of farming and science together to learn from each other and develop ideas, knowledge and innovative actions together. It aims to build bridges between science and practice, in particular through practical innovation projects, bottom-up approaches, partnerships and networking activities. It is about growing an innovation culture in European farming that embraces the sector in all its diversity and which is not blind to the prospects that lie in traditional and practical knowledge
- The multi-actor projects address the needs and problems of farmers and other practitioners. They should involve relevant stakeholders and, whenever possible, operational groups at every stage of their implementation, forming a consortium of actors that offer complementary knowledge (scientific, practical etc.).
- The thematic networks, on the other hand, should be used to map the existing scientific knowledge and best practices for specific topics. They should develop materials for the practitioners that facilitate the exchange of knowledge.
Relation with PAEPARD
In the past PAEPARD related with one of the members of TP Organics: IFOAM EU about the Scoping Study on organic aquaculture in 5 East African Countries.
- IFOAM EU is the European umbrella organisation for organic food and farming. It brings together more than 160 organizations, associations and enterprises from all EU-27, EFTA and candidate countries.
- This report (© IFOAM, 2013, 65 pages) was commissioned by the IFOAM "Regional cooperation for organic standards and certification capacity in East Africa" (OSEA) Project. The OSEA Project was undertaken with support from Swedish Development Cooperation.
- Organic aquaculture is a relatively new movement within the global aquaculture industry and complements ranges of organic food in retail shops with organically farmed fish.
- The scoping study has identified and discussed several bottlenecks and opportunities to develop organic aquaculture projects in East African countries focusing more on the fish species relevant for the domestic and/or regional market (African Catfish but above all on Tilapia). Certification relevant aspects for the organic production of Tilapia and African Catfish have been presented such as Tilapia production without the use of hormones not allowed in organic aquaculture.
- In particular for extensive small-scale fish farming operations, organic aquaculture could become a development model bridging the needs of income generation, increased fish production and sustainability under certain circumstances.

J. Wayne Hilton's fascination with the Civil War focuses on one of its lesser-known legacies: money.
"The war itself was short-lived, but during that time, the Confederate government issued $1.5 billion in currency," the Aiken author and collector said. "Of course, it was all paper, basically just promissory notes, that all became worthless at the end of the war in 1865."
All that "worthless Rebel money," as it was once known, is highly collectible today -- and is the subject of Hilton's new reference book, Collecting Confederate Currency: Hobby and Investment.
At one time, he said, Confederate currency was so abundant that huge amounts of it were used as insulation in homes built after the war.
"Using currency was cheaper than buying paper at that time," he said. "Sometimes you'll hear about tearing into an old house and finding Confederate money. It's not all that surprising."
Hilton has collected and studied the widely varied bills since the early 1970s and gradually assembled his self-published book over the past 14 years.
Among the rarest -- and most valuable -- examples are the beautifully decorated "Montgomery notes," printed in 1861 and delivered to the Confederate capital of Montgomery, Ala., just days before the shelling of Fort Sumter officially opened the war.
The bills were printed in sheets with four bills apiece -- in denominations of $1,000, $500, $100 and $50 -- and had to be cut apart and hand-signed by treasury officials.
Today, a $1,000 Montgomery is valued somewhere between $16,000 and $35,000, depending on condition, with exceptional examples going even higher.
On the other end of the scale is the 1864 $10 bill, produced in large quantities until the end of the war.
"About nine million pieces were printed that we know of, and I'm sure there were more," he said. "Today, you can find one for under $100."
Confederate currency also had strong roots in the Central Savannah River Area that includes Augusta, he said.
"A small amount of the paper used to print the currency was actually made in Bath, S.C. before the mill burned down in November 1862," he said. "An Augusta dentist named James T. Paterson was awarded contracts to print Confederate currency in early 1862. Most of the printing took place in Columbia, S.C., but Paterson also set up shop in Augusta to handle a portion of the work."
Hilton's book was written to showcase both the currency's beauty and its investment potential.
Using historical data from sales and auctions, he compared the price appreciation of Montgomery notes over nearly 150 years to other investments like the stock market, crude oil and precious metals. "The surprising result showed that Confederate currency, at least the Montgomery notes, outperformed all the other investment alternatives," he said.
Hilton's book sells for $54.95 including postage, and signed copies are available by writing to him at J. Wayne Hilton, P.O. Box 1, Graniteville, S.C., 29829.

Solving innovation challenges through the power of cognitive diversity - Part 1: Surface vs deep-level diversity
What does diversity in the workplace mean to you? Is it a good mix of people with different racial or ethnic backgrounds? Gender? Or maybe you work in a multidisciplinary team? The key point is that there are different types of diversity but they can be broadly placed into two buckets - surface-level diversity and deep-level diversity. In this first part of a multi-part blog series, we'll start by looking at diversity in its different forms. So what are the differences?
It's harder to observe deep-level diversity.
Traditionally, diversity has focused on easily observable, surface-level demographic traits like gender and ethnicity. In contrast, deep-level diversity focuses on traits that are psychological (e.g., personality, cognitive, or decision-making styles). Since it inherently involves the "inner workings" of people's minds, it's naturally less obvious than the visual characteristics of someone's skin colour or gender.
It's possible to measure deep-level diversity with reliability and validity.
Although not easily observed compared to surface-level traits, many different types of tools have been developed to measure deep-level traits so that they can be studied with rigour. These include tools measuring cognitive and decision-making styles, perceptions of cognitive diversity in established teams, and the range of academic and commercial tools designed to measure personality dimensions.
The links between surface-level diversity and group performance in a range of tasks are weak or non-existent.
Different studies have found support for the role of deep-level attributes that drive performance in tasks such as problem-solving and decision-making. In contrast, these studies have found little support for the effect of demographic variables on group performance in these tasks. That's not to say that ethnic or gender diversity isn't important for a just and representative workforce, given the times we live in, but that deep-level diversity plays a much larger role in driving performance outcomes regardless of demographic variables.
It's important to distinguish between surface and deep-level diversity because the two types aren't necessarily intertwined. When we tease apart the impact of the types of diversity that are important for key outcomes, we can start to see a more nuanced picture of diversity as a whole. Stay tuned for the next update when we talk about when diversity is useful and when it might not be so useful.

Creating Leadership Paths for Veterans Through The Walgreens HERO Program
Idea in brief:
The Walgreens HERO program is a commitment to hire and develop military veterans for management and leadership roles. Read here about how they partner with SNHU to provide online degree programs for those employees.
For Walgreens, community social responsibility (CSR) has been part of the company's DNA since the beginning. For example, Red Nose Day raises funds to address child poverty. And Walgreens' Get a Shot. Give a Shot. campaign provides more than 20 million lifesaving polio and measles vaccines around the world. Now the company's CSR report has a new example of how they are giving back to communities.
A new initiative, the Helping Veterans with Educational and Retail Opportunities (HERO) program is expanding this CSR mission to help veterans. Through the program, Walgreens and Southern New Hampshire University will provide career and educational opportunities for 5,000 U.S. veterans over the next 5 years.
The HERO program, which launched in late-2018, has long been a vision for Christine Kallis Rivera, Walgreens' principal in career development. In the company's quest to create something that was truly unique and valuable to veterans, said Rivera, Walgreens didn't want to simply stop at hiring veterans for entry-level positions, which often don't resonate with the experience service members have had in the military.
"Our servicemen and women gain a lot of leadership experience in the military, and that can be easily translatable to a leadership position in one of our stores," said Rivera. "That's what makes the HERO program different. We are offering a store leadership career path."
Transferring military skills into the civilian workforce
As part of the Walgreens HERO program, the chain committed to hiring veterans into shift lead and assistant manager roles. That on-the-job training, combined with the opportunity to take college courses that build toward a bachelor's or master's degree, is designed to put veterans on a leadership pathway within the company.
To better understand how to help veterans succeed in civilian career paths, Walgreens has been working with veterans organizations to identify what skills across different levels of the military are easily transferable. Flexibility, communication and problem-solving skills honed in the military translate readily into leadership in the civilian world..
They then provide that data to the members of their team who are in charge of posting jobs and interviewing candidates for the HERO program.
Identifying these skills helps with interviewing and hiring, as well as recruitment. Walgreens' local HR teams have been building relationships with local military transition offices and veteran organizations like the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Creating a career path through leadership and education
Once veterans are hired into leadership pathway positions, Walgreens and SNHU are working together to help further develop those skills through work-relevant college courses. Veterans hired through the HERO program receive a 40% discount on tuition, which is applied on top of any additional federal student aid benefits. This makes attaining their bachelor's or master's degree an affordable option.
SNHU's commitment to providing affordable, accessible education to veterans and other military-affiliated learners made the university a good fit to partner with Walgreens' HERO program, said Jade Poduska, SNHU's director of strategic partnerships.
"Education really does change people's lives," said Poduska. "Being able to truly have that as part of our mission and our values resonated with them."
Along with a tuition discount, SNHU's commitment to military learners include a dedicated team of academic advisors who come out of the military themselves, and whose job it is to support and encourage veterans who are pursuing their degree.
At Walgreens, veterans will also receive on-the-job leadership training with the goal of developing the skills they need to become store managers. From decision making and critical thinking about customer service issues to managing a staff of more than 20 team members, these kinds of skills are not only developed in the military, but honed through a liberal arts education.
Walgreens HERO program built on educational partnerships
Walgreens was attracted to working with SNHU in part because of the university's rich history of serving the military, said Rivera. But it was a visit to meet with SNHU's president Paul LeBlanc and hear stories of the work SNHU has done with communities around the world that made them realize that SNHU was the perfect partner for the program. "Our CSR effort naturally aligns to the vision of what SNHU does," she said.
Along with providing educational opportunities to veterans through the HERO program, SNHU and Walgreens will also partner to offer affordable, accessible degree programs to the rest of the company's employees at their 9,500 store locations across the states, said Poduska.
She is looking forward to developing new initiatives with Walgreens, as well. One example is a youth program in Chicago where Walgreens has hired underprivileged and underemployed youth in order to give them a job and assist with college tuition.
"I always tell Jade that this is just the start," said Rivera.

Ethereum is a good buy at these levels, says Tom Lee
The total value of digital currencies fell below $300 billion overnight as more broad-based selling pushed some major digital currencies to multimonth lows.
The No. 1 digital currency, Bitcoin
remains under $8,000, nearing long-term support, which will have the eye of many traders. Bitcoin was last traded at $7,913.85, down 2.7% on the day.
"The declining overall market cap is a reflection that people are withdrawing capital from the space," said Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at Oanda.
"After steadying we are not seeing the same optimism as before and the path of least resistance is lower not higher."
Long-term support in focus
The fall in Bitcoin has wiped out many short and long-term support levels. In addition, each relief rally has met resistance at key moving averages. The current selloff has Bitcoin is nearing a further long-term trend line that, if broken, could leave it vulnerable for to retest the Feb. 6 lower under $6,000.
Moreover, since testing the 200-day moving average on March 21, Bitcoin has fallen nearly 15% and is on track for its fourth consecutive losing day. A breach of that trend line could spell further danger for crypto traders.
Read: Ethereum chief warns cryptocurrencies could 'drop to near-zero at any time'
Ether the big loser
The big loser among major cryptocurrencies continues to be Ether. The smart-contract currency has failed to stabilize and overnight reached its lowest level since Dec. 11, 2017. Ether is down 6.8% on the day, trading at $456.80.
Elsewhere, Bitcoin cash is off 2% at $901.88, Litecoin has shed 5.9% trading at $140.41 and Ripple last traded at 58 cents, down 3.5% on the day.
Futures markets are so far fearing a little better than spot. The Cboe Global Markets April
is up 0.3% at $7,940 and the CME Group Inc. March contract
is up 0.7% at $7,960.

A muckraker must always be honest to clean the filth
Wed, 01/16/2019 - 5:00am
Paul Laubach
Saddled Up on the Trail
Politics and the press in the U.S. is almost as antagonistic as it was at the turn of the 20th Century.
Almost as antagonistic?
President Theodore Roosevelt wrote "The Man with the Muckrake" in 1906. He presented the speech on April 14, 1906.
Roosevelt's speech borrowed heavily on the ideas of John Bunyan's 1678 classic Pilgrim's Progress as he illustrated the antagonist character of the Man with the Muck Rake.

213.4 (official weigh-in at 6:30 p.m.)
I finished unpacking all my bathroom/linen closet stuff last night and organized it all. What a good feeling! It took me the better part of an hour, but it's amazing what a difference doing it made. I had a lovely feeling of accomplishment when I finished, and it was great this morning not to be searching for things I needed and to see my vanity all cleared off. I found lots of stuff I forgot I had (including 3 toenail and 2 fingernail clippers!), cleared out a lot of old/expired/dried-up products, and just generally got organized.
Last night's unpacking/organizing spree showed me that my new place has so much storage space, it's really hard to fathom. As someone who has been renting her entire adult life. . . about 19 years, if you include college. . . . I can really appreciate an apartment like this! My bedroom alone has three full closets; all my clothes don't even fill two of them. That doesn't include the storage in the bathrooms, second bedroom, or an outdoor storage closet. It's great!
I plan to spend time tonight working on unpacking/organizing my bedroom. Honestly, there are only about 4 more boxes to unpack--and 3 of those just have clothes--so it shouldn't take long if I just knuckle down and do it.
Look at me exercising the self-discipline! :)
I met my friends the Hs last night at a cute little pizza place after work. Their baby--4 weeks old--is so unbelievably good! He was finishing up nursing when I arrived, then slept the rest of the hour-and-a-half we were there; I never heard a peep out of him! I have seen him three times and have only seen him awake once, for about 5 minutes. LOL
This evening is my Jenny Craig weigh-in. Despite my intentions, I haven't had quite the week I'd hoped: I ate (unplanned) lunches out twice, in addition to 4 dinners out, since last week's weigh-in. Well, to focus on the positive, I did bring lunch more often this week, and the times I ate out, I made generally good choices (with the notable exceptions of the D-backs game & The Melting Pot!). We'll see what the scale shows tonight. . . . I'm not terribly optimistic. In addition to the not-quite-on-target eating, I've done no exercise, and I'm due to start my period any minute. (sigh)

Customer Reviews
I like the 'switchblade' look of stillettos and this one has it in a good pocket size. Nice quality for an import 'Handcrafted in China' knife. Fit and finish are good for the price point (closeout $13). The liners and bolsters are finished well at the butt and the scales are also finished well... no gaps or protruding edges. Pins are finished smooth with the scales and pins at bolsters have rouned heads with no spots to snag in pocket. Opening and closing action is smooth (manual opening lockback). Almost closes on fingers if lock is pushed in hard enough but corner of blade at swivel point catches in lock mechanism hole just enough to prevent that. Blade arrived plenty sharp with a fairly even grind and high polish. Lockup is tight with no excessive side to side wobble except very slight play. Would make a good dress carry, feels comfortable in pocket (no pocket clip). I would'nt use for work carry as the blade is too slender but for the price, it would'nt make me cry if I broke it.
Would be fantastic if it was an auto, activated by the Kissing Crane shield or even assited opening.
I just might get one of all the other colors available. A nickle / polished SS version would be nice as well.

It's been uploaded to Amazon for pre-order and to the distributor (who'd already placed it for pre-order elsewhere), and now I'm in a recuperative phase.
Recuperative phase, you ask?
For me, and I expect many other authors, writing is not a non-physical process. It takes its toll mentally, emotionally, and physically, especially in that last race to polish and tweak a book to meet deadlines.
Yes, writing is not an aerobic experience or physically challenging like running or wall-climbing. After all, I'm sitting on my butt in a chair and staring at a monitor and wiggling fingers over a keyboard, right? But, in reality, it is physically taxing. And, as many authors will tell you, it takes a toll on a body.
Writing ain't for sissies.
I am two weeks out now from the final polish-and-tweaking of the 118.5 K word manuscript (and that final editing phase took almost two weeks itself). No amount of sleep has quite eroded the exhaustion that last sprint to get the book done encompassed. My wrists and elbows and neck and lower back are still complaining. No amount of Aleve (and when does Aleve get toxic? — my liver wants to know) or massage has managed to decrease and/or eliminate the pain.
And the physical side effects happen no matter what methods you use to avoid it.
Sleep? Check, got at least seven hours every twenty-four. Wrist brace? Check, been wearing one for years. Proper desk height and good chair? Check. Ergonomic mouse? Check. Frequent breaks, get-up-and-walk-around time? Check — all the diet soda I drink takes care of that requirement — that and checking on laundry, fixing meals, and making sure hubby knows I know he exists (he gets soooo lonely, ya know?).
Since I have written more than one book, obviously, the physical side effects of writing — and the memory of them –fade away.
Sort of like childbirth. — You know it hurt, but you can't quite remember exactly how it hurt and so you're up for it again. Convenient amnesia.
And that convenient amnesia is why I am already plotting away my next book in my head. [FYI: It will be another SSI book. Damon and Susa of the Prime Chronicles series ain't talking to me, yet.]
Not sure if writing is a biological imperative like the need to procreate, but it is a mental and emotional one. I can't not write. As with giving birth, you pass on a part of yourself to the world, your little bit of immortality. Granted, unlike my child, my book might not have the potential to change the world, but it does have the potential of taking people out of their every day lives and giving them a few hours of enjoyment. Not a bad thing at all in my mind.
So, let's hear it for convenient amnesia. — Now, please, does anyone know how much Aleve is too much? Because, I have more stories to tell.
Former helicopter pilot DJ Poe is a woman used to working in a man's world and comfortable as SSI's first female field operative. It's her instant attraction to the company's computer specialist that has her questioning her ability to overcome her past and develop an intimate relationship with a man.
Stuart "Tweeter" Walsh already admired DJ for saving his brother's life in Afghanistan, but when the tall, leggy, blonde goddess joins SSI, he falls instantly in love. All he has to do is convince the man-shy beauty to take a chance on him.
Take one alpha-male geek, add in one skittish female warrioress—throw them into close proximity and you have the perfect conditions for storm warnings.

I'm going a little of topic here, but as it's a Sunday night I though I'd indulge myself and post my favourite sonnet from Mr William Shakespeare. It's not totally irrelevant as in the UK, this sonnet appears on several GCSE exam boards. Here we go…..
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
Ah, it's just gorgeous! I know a lot of people struggle with the language but I actually think this is one of Shakespeare's more simplier sonnets. My favourite part is "my mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground." It totally wins the war against those long, Petrarchan sonnets which just build up an ideal woman who doesn't exsist.
Shakespeare: yay or nay? Thoughts please!
