What can I do with my qualification? What do I have to offer? Today's students are under severe pressure and hardly have time to think about themselves and their future. It is the university's job to help them, to ensure that no talent goes to waste and that future academics can enter the labour market with more self-insight and confidence, say Robert Pans and Oscar van den Wijngaard. On 2 June -for the second year running - they will organise a seminar on behalf of the Council for Academic Advising and Student Counselling of Maastricht University (SUMa) on the theme: Advising towards Employability ll.
"Yesterday, a bachelor's student knocked on my door. She is studying Finance and has gained almost all of her credits. She will be doing exams in the last remaining subjects in a week's time. After that, she has a writing assignment and then she will have graduated within the designated time." She seems to be a model student, but appearances are deceiving. "She was in a panic; what should I do after that, she asked, I don't know what I want." This story is reported by Wim Bogaert, student adviser at the School of Business and Economics.
"It is such a pity that this student only came to us for help when she was almost finished," say Bogaert and Robert Pans, head of SBE Student Advising and Academic Counselling Office. "There is nothing wrong with her academic knowledge, but when it comes down to her self-knowledge, insight into her competencies – things like leadership, dealing with uncertainty, analytical skills, intercultural communication, sense of responsibility – and self-confidence, she scores badly. She didn't take part in any extracurricular activities, such as a student job, board or council membership, meeting alumni, service science factory projects, et cetera. That is when you learn a lot about yourself, discover where your interests lie and which competences you have. This student now has some homework to do and we have made a follow-up appointment to discuss these issues with her."
How is this possible? In the first year, the SBE student advisers invite all students for a personal talk after the first block: on a voluntary basis. A mere 15 per cent takes up the offer. "I would like to make it compulsory. I am convinced that the number of drop-outs would decrease and the pleasure in studying would actually increase," says Pans. In fact, he and Bogaert feel that these talks should continue throughout the study period at "key moments, such as the end of the first year, when the choice is made for a study abroad, a work placement, a master's and at the time of graduation". Not just by student advisers but also by members of the academic staff. The so-called "advising curriculum" should become more interwoven with the 'regular' curriculum; the 'whole person learning' principle that SBE has been promoting for some time. "These days, a university can no longer limit itself to just offering an academic curriculum. Academic knowledge is important, but (study) advice and guidance process, in which the students gain insight into themselves, is also important. Include moments to ask questions like: who am I? What can I do? What do I have to offer? What should I do after my bachelor's? What would suit me?"
Two streets away, on the Zwingelput, where University College is housed, this kind of student guidance has been the standard for years, says Oscar van den Wijngaard, co-ordinator of Academic Advising UCM and together with Robert Pans one of the driving forces behind SUMa and the seminar. Every UCM student has an academic advisor. They don't take the student by the hand, but teach them to take a better look at themselves and in doing so, make the right choices. "Advising is teaching and it is about the whole person - whole person learning - so it's about academic knowledge and skills, about competences as well as experience and personal characteristics," they say. These are two of SUMa's mottos, which find more and more response throughout the UM, according to Pans and Van den Wijngaard. The latter adds "At UCM, this system is more self-evident because the curriculum is not fixed, but it would be good for every student." Should the students not do this themselves? Pans: "You shouldn't assume that they can do this alone, certainly considering the present short duration of study programmes, the pressure, and the high expectations. It is not all about a sound bite layer so that students can sell themselves better. It is about insight, resulting in more self-confidence in taking the next step."
Reine Ramaekers, a UCM student who is hoping to graduate in four weeks' time and who will perform during the seminar, knows all about it. "In my first year, during my very first meeting with my academic advisor, she asked: which master's do you want to do after this? Something in Psychology, I said. I see that you haven't chosen statistics, she continued, and psychology without statistics is impossible." Ramaekers took her advice and chose statistics. In her second year, the UCM student was still convinced that she wanted to do a master's immediately after her graduation. "I just thought it was easiest. I noticed during a UCM project like Think Tank [students carry out independent research on behalf of an organisation, in this case: how does PBL fit into the 21st century] and the Debate project [a short research project, in this case: how do work placements fit into the curriculum] that research, but also teaching, appeals to me." A research master's in something like Neuropsychology appealed to her. Until her graduation came closer: "I noticed in my third year that I didn't feel ready yet. I want to gain more research skills before I start my research master's. I am still only 20, I feel very young." Talks with fellow students ("we are a close community, and we talk a lot about this kind of thing"), her academic advisor ("who knows me very well by now") but also a workshop in decision-making constituted the basis for her decision. "I will take a gap year. I am going to be a tutor at UCM for 70 per cent of the time and hope that I can do some small research project at the Faculty of Psychology and Neurosciences."
There are workshops, courses, personal counselling, presentations, meetings with alumni, et cetera. When it comes to student advice and guidance, Maastricht University has no fewer than 250 different 'activities' to choose from. The Council for Academic Advising and Student Counselling of Maastricht University (SUMa) has drawn up a list and is organising its second seminar on Thursday 2 June. It is first and foremost an exchange of best practices by faculties, but also by Student Services, the university library and the language centre. "We want to learn from each other, to see if something is missing in student advice and guidance, and whether it is possible to arrive at a shared vision," say the organisers Pans and Van den Wijngaard, who will both talk about their own experiences. "Student guidance is more than offering help during a crisis. You want students to think about their studies, their skills, competences, experience and personal characteristics, so that they gain more insight and self-confidence and are better prepared for the future."
Everyone is welcome; there are still places available. For more information: oscarvandenwijngaard@maastrichtuniversity or telephone 3885489 or https://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/about-um/faculties/humanities-and-sciences/advising-towards-employability-ii

Testing is a time of great stress and anxiety. This testing was no different. With the challenges set before them the students really stepped up. They met the challenges head on with perseverance, sweat and indomitable spirit. It is always rewarding to watch my students accomplish their goals and sometimes even exceed them. I am very proud of all the students that tested. Your hard work and dedication really showed. You are the backbone of U.S. Taekwondo Hapkido Martial Art Center.
So you may better understand, lets look at some of the requirements for Black Belt testing. Break down an entire form (kata) into its street applications. Including pressure point targets along with an explanation as to the system that governs those points. Break 4 boards in 4 seconds or less. Create and execute a creative break, using 3 boards together or separate, creativity being the key. Proficiency with specialty techniques. In this case it was 7 Kuk Sool techniques from a punch, same side wrist grab and cross wrist grab. Writing an essay or taking a written test. Plus Sparring, Forms, Self Defense, Hand Techniques, Foot techniques and combinations.

The main usage load for disks, on which the system is installed on, is the generation of graphs in 5 minute intervals. For each client at minimum 2 graphs are created. For the routers at minimum 5 graphs are created in relation to the count of interfaces. Graphs are stored in binary form on the HDD and take up to 500KB of space. Therefore in practice the system needs to work with a large number of small files in which every 5 minutes informations about transmitted data and measured values are written. For a larger number of graphs SAS disk drives are recommended. SAS drives are significant faster, in working with small files, then SATA drives. Basically it is about the IOPS that the disks are able to provide to the system. In practice SATA disks are able to provide up-to 100 IOPS , SAS on the other hand are able to provide up-to 150-180 IOPS (depending on whether it is a 10k or 15k disk). The sum of IOPS can only be increased by the number of disks in RAID or by installing SSD disks for system graphing. IOPS is the main limitation for working with graphs. If the sum of IOPS is insufficient, the system latency is going to be increased and in some cases sites may load slower because the system is waiting for the HDD to be able to read and write. In this case an increase of RAM or CPU upgrade will not help. The only possibility is to increase the number of disks ( or replace the slow SATA drives with faster 15k SAS drives ).
- It is now possible to move generated graphs to a RAMDISK. A Ramdisk is a self-contained part in memory, that behaves like a disk but Access times are several times faster than a conventional HDD, because it only uses RAM memory to store the data. If graph generation is run within RAMDISKS the IOPS and the disk usage will be significantly reduced. This is the most noticeable in large installations ( 1000 clients or more). In this cases we recommend moving graphs to a RAMDISK.
- To work with RAMDISK, run this utility
- /usr/local/script/ispadmin/rrd_ramdisk.pl
- To display a help message, run it without any parameters
- Usage:
- /usr/local/script/ispadmin/rrd_ramdisk.pl initialize - Initialize RAMDISK
- /usr/local/script/ispadmin/rrd_ramdisk.pl destroy - Destroy RAMDISK permanently
- /usr/local/script/ispadmin/rrd_ramdisk.pl start [force] - Start RAMDISK
- /usr/local/script/ispadmin/rrd_ramdisk.pl stop - Stop RAMDISK
- /usr/local/script/ispadmin/rrd_ramdisk.pl save [force] - Save RAMDISK data to backup
- /usr/local/script/ispadmin/rrd_ramdisk.pl check - Check RAMDISK usage
- /usr/local/script/ispadmin/rrd_ramdisk.pl set - Set RAMDISK in MByte
- /usr/local/script/ispadmin/rrd_ramdisk.pl restore [backup.file] - Restore RAMDISK from last backup.file
- You may use the following parameters:
- initialize - Initializes the RAMDISK and moves the data to the RAMDISK.
- destroy - Unistalls the RAMDISK and moves the data back to the drive.
- start - For an automatic start after booting. Use [force] to initialize RAMDISK even if the size of the restored backup is smaller by more than 5% than the previous ramdisk size, or if RAMDISK initialization was not successful after server reboot, and you need to initialize RAMDISK from the console.
- stop - Makes an automatic backup of the data in RAMDISK, copies the backup to a Hardrive, and stops RAMDISK. !!! We strongly recommend that you perform it every time you restart/switch off the system !!!
- save - Makes a backup of data of the RAMDISK to a Hardrive - performed automatically once a day, 10 backups are done retrospectively, and you may restore them later. Moreover, 2 monthly backups (as of 28th of each month) are stored.
(It backups into /usr/local/script/ispadmin/rrd_data_backup/. Use [force] to make a backup of ramdisk which is smaller than the previous ramdisk in size, e.g. if you deliberately delete more files with graphs. A check on 5%-difference compared to the original size is performed.)
- check - Checks the utilization of the RAMDISK and if needed, it automatically increases the RAMDISK.
- set - Set RAMDISK size in MB to increase it according to your needs.
- restore - Insert name of backup file from backup directory for rrd ramdisk to restore a daily backup of rrd data. If no name is inserted, the system will restore the last known backup from this directory. You may use data restore if you loose it, or the data is incomplete. The only must is initialized RAMDISK.
- When RAMDISK is installed, you need to run the following command:
- /usr/local/script/ispadmin/rrd_ramdisk.pl initialize
- This initializes and configures all that is needed. After rebooting the sytem it installs the RAMDISK again and the data are moved on to it.
- Be aware that the data on a RAMDISK is saved in RAM and if a server malfunction occurs ( powersuply malfunction ) all data are lost. In the case of correct restart, the system automatically backs up data to the Hardrive an moves it onto the RAMDISK after booting. The system also makes an automatic backup onto a hardrive once a day. So in case of power supply outage, one-day data only is lost.
- For RAMDISK creation it is absolutely necessary to have a sufficient amount of RAM. The maximum amount of RAM that can be used for the RAMDISK is 25%.
- The necessary amount of RAM is calculated dynamically according to occupied disk space (mostly 510Mb - 5GB). If the calculation for RAM is resulting in a larger amount then 25%, the RAMDISK is not created and it is necessary to upgrade the amount of RAM. If RAMDISK capacity is more than 80% full, the system will try to increase the disk automatically (if RAM is sufficient). If it fails, you may increase RAMDISK manually using set option.
ISPadmin 4.11 beta1

- In the tab "Settings / IP pools / IP pools NAT" an option in the table for clicking "Number of engaged IP addresses" was added, to display the list of engaged IP addresses.
- Now it's possible to use the service Sledovanitv.cz in combination with ISPadmin. Clients are identified by IP addresses in their Active Internet services. After the browser displays the URL of sledovanitv.cz, he is rerouted to ISPadmin (https://[isp.example.cz]/new/www/sledovani-tv/identify) , which identifies the client and invokes a reroute to the sign in form on sledovanitv.cz. If the Client needs an list of TV stations for VLC, their is the possibility of using the URL https://[isp.example.cz]/new/www/sledovani-tv/channels, which returns, after authentication, a list of TV channels.
- After commissioning , it is necessary to agree on Rerouteing with sledovanitv.cz s.r.o from their URL sledovanitv.cz to ISPadmin ISPadmina https://[isp.example.cz]/new/www/sledovani-tv/identify
- In the tabs "Scheduling / Overview" and "Client card / Information / Scheduled interventions" is an overview of scheduled tasks. Each technician is able to see all tasks, they only differ in who is able to edit and delete a specific task.
- Now it's also possible, for technicians with the lowest permissions in scheduling, to set the ability to change technicians on existing tasks. The Configuration is set in Administrators Settings, with the check box "Cange technician task"
- If in tasks a assigned technician is removed, the technician is informed, via E-mail, that the task was cancelled. The E-mail is automatically sent, if the technician has set a valid E-mail address. The Subject of the E-mail can be set in the tab "Settings / Syst. setting / Scheduling" with the key "planning_email_subject_unassign"
- While saving a task in scheduling it's possible to send information of the task via email to the clients. In the tab "Settings / Syst. settings / Scheduling" there it is possible to set the subject with the key "planning_email_subject_ticket_to_client" and it will be automatically completed with the ID of the Task. This E-mail can be sent with each change in tasks by clicking "Send ticket to Client" in the edit Tasks.
- While adding and editing tasks it is now able to save up to 5 people at once.
- In the tab "Scheduling / Overview" last applied filters are saved and used after the page reloading.
- In the tab "Scheduling / Overview" it is possibility in the Calender, to click on a month to display tasks only for that specific month.
- In the tab "Client card / Information / Scheduled interventions" filters are not saved and after the page reloading there are no before used filters applied
- In the tab "Invoicing / Invoices / Invoices" option "Lock Invoices" was added for a specific month and invoice group. If an invoice is locked in this way, it isn't possible to change, cancel, change dates and address and issue a new invoice in this particular period. Locking and unlocking can be only done by the MasterAdmin or MainAdmin.
- Added support for exporting invoices to "BYZNYS" accounting system.
- In the tab "Invoicing / Overview / Invoices" there it is possible to "View Statistics by Service" but each row has a new added icon to print out a statistic of every individual service
- While adding common services it is now possible to choose an accounting code for each item. If accounting codes are permitted (the tab "Invoicing / Settings / Accounting") and in the tab of the service no accounting code is used, the system applies a global accounting code selected from the general service (the tab "Settings / Active services / General").
- In the tab "Invoicing / Invoice / Invoice" by click on view or print invoices in PDF, an intermediate step appears with the option to choose a certain type of payment.
- In The detail of each invoice it is now possible to generate SEPA data for the invoice (currently only possible for all invoices issued in a given month).
- Now when generating files for SEPA (the Client card / Information / Invoicing and Invoicing / Invoices) the system automatically settle all invoices for which SEPA was generated. This feature is only available for localizations ES, IT, and IE (for other localizations available on demand).
- Enabled reloading for erroneously processed e-mail from the bank. In some cases it may happen that the system marks one as processed, but couldn't read any payments. So now in the menu "Invoicing / Bank / E-mail" erroneously processed emails, can be marked as unprocessed with the icon at the end of the line and the system tries to precesses them again in regular 5-minute intervals.
- A new system variable created invoice_offset_correspondence_address in the menu "Invoicing / Settings / Universal" , through which it is possible to move the mailing address on the invoices. The value indicates how many millimetres the address is moved downwards.
- Automatic matching of incoming payments in PayPal now supported.
- A new tab PayPal is now available in the tab "Invoicing / Bank", where all payments received via PayPal are displayed.

Send and receive SMS via the protocol SMPP
- Added support for sending and receiving SMS via the Internet protocol SMPP. If a SMS gateway (for example 2N VoiceBlue) supports the SMPP protocol, it is possible for the system to send and receive SMS. The gateway is connected via Ethernet and ISPadmin is communicating via the TCP / IP protocol. The main advantage is that the gate does not have to be placed directly next to the ISPadmin server, but can also be located anywhere (e.g., in another server room). So it can be used in combination with virtualization, where it is sometimes difficult to map a serial or USB port on an SMS gateway to a specific virtual installation.
- In the tab Settings Syst. settings General, it is now possible to set up new parameters:
- sms_notify: sett value to 3 for SMPP protocol usage.
- sms_smpp_ip_address: IP address of the SMS gateway
- sms_smpp_login: login name
- sms_smpp_password: login password
- Accordingly it is possible to send SMS to clients, send automatic system notifications and notices
- In the tab Other Map, a new filter All states of clients and All Routers is added. By selecting the filter states of clients all clients belonging to this state are displayed on the map and the same applies for the Router filter.

Mom with a gun stops abduction attempt
A West Virginia mother was able to scare off an attempted kidnapper with her concealed firearm on Monday night, according to multiple local media outlets.
A mother was shopping with her 5-year-old daughter at Huntington Mall in Barboursville, W. Va., around 6:15 p.m. on Monday. As the pair were in Old Navy, a 54-year-old Egyptian national allegedly approached them and grabbed the 5-year-old by her hair and began to drag her away from her mother. That's when the mother pulled her gun and told the man to let her daughter go.
Zayan then ran out of the store and was apprehended by mall security near the food court a short while later. He was charged with attempted abduction and jailed on $200,000 cash bond.
The suspect is reportedly an engineer who had been working in the area and living at a local motel. Police told local news outlets that he does not speak English and was afforded an interpreter during his arraignment in Cabell County Magistrate Court.

As the old saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Motorcycles may look cool and feel fun to drive, but they just aren't as safe to operate when compared to automobiles. While that may be appealing to thrill seekers, more conservative individuals definitely won't find the idea as attractive.
Motorcycles travel as fast as other vehicles, but don't have the safety features that many car owners take for granted. First of all, because motorcycles only have two wheels that obviously makes them more unstable and inherently dangerous than cars. Secondly, they don't have seatbelts. Because of that, the rider is much more likely to get thrown off the vehicle during an accident. Lastly, motorcycles don't have an external frame. This means that the rider's body will be directly exposed to the the road, debris, and other dangers of a crash.
Fortunately, riding a motorcycle doesn't have to be a life or death experience. There are plenty of things that a rider can do to keep himself and the people around him safe. Here are a few of these tips:
- Wear your helmet. Though this tip may seem fairly obvious, you'll be surprised by the sheer number of riders who simply choose not to wear their helmets. This figure becomes even more significant once you consider the fact that head injuries are the most common cause of death for motorcycle riders. So, to maximize your safety and well being you should always wear your helmet whenever you're out for a ride.
But don't settle for any old helmet. You'll want one that meets the minimum standards set by the Department of Transportation. A full-face helmet, which fits well and does not obstruct your field of view, will probably be your best bet.
- Drive defensively. Keep in mind that motorcycles tend to be smaller and more difficult to spot than cars, so you should never assume that other drivers have seen you. Stay safe by being extra cautious, leaving generous amounts of space between you and other vehicles, and slowing down whenever you feel the need to. Remember that one slipup could easily cost you or someone else their life.
- Teach your passengers. While having someone to ride with can be an enjoyable experience, your passenger also has his own role when it comes to safety. Make sure that your passenger is wearing the right protective gear. Sturdy shoes, a durable jacket, and, of course, a quality helmet should be considered as standard equipment. If you're not used to having a passenger, you should also take some time to practice in a safe environment like an empty parking lot. In particular, you'll want to get a feel for how your motorcycle handles the extra weight.
- Watch out for bad weather. Since motorcycles are more unstable than cars, you'll need to be extra careful when driving in bad weather. But the problem isn't just the lack of stability. You'll also have to contend with limited visibility because of the lack of a windshield and wipers. Moreover, riding in the rain can hurt and that pain can be an additional distraction while you're on the road, so check the weather predictions before going out for a ride. Should there be hail, snow or heavy rain, it might be best to just leave your motorcycle at home. If driving in bad weather is unavoidable, leave a generous amount of space between you and the vehicle in front of you to account for the lack of traction. Lastly, don't hesitate to stop and take shelter if the weather gets any worse.
- Avoid distractions. Distractions are always bad for driving, but they're doubly so when you're driving a motorcycle. Always stay on your guard and focus all of your attention on the road, traffic, and pedestrians. In addition, don't listen to music, stay off your phone, and remove other potential sources of distraction.


text: I was born in Ireland 1938. Since 1960 I have lived in Wales. The last time I had a flu jab was in November 2003. In January 2004 I had one of the worst attacks of flu ever. I had to stay at home for a month. A year later my doctor, referring to my age, advised me that it was time I had another jab. I said that I had decided to give up flu jabs for good. He became really concerned and asked for my reason. I told him that my jab in November 2003 was followed by one of my worst experiences of flu ever. He replied that that did not prove that the jab in November had caused me to get such a bad bout of flu about 6 weeks later. I agreed but went on to point out that neither had it prevented my contracting such a serious illness. He could not answer that challenge to the hype about the necessity of having a shot every year. In spite of receiving a courteous reminder in November each year since then that there is a flu jab waiting for me I have had no jabs since November 2003 and neither have I contracted flu. Why no flu jab has meant no flu in my case is a matter for the medical profession and for the makers and purveyors of those pointless and unnecessary flu shots.

Our new What's Underneath star, Bustle editor Marie Southard Ospina, is talking about fat as much as she can, as in, "I'm the fattest I've ever been, but I'm also the prettiest I've ever been." As a teen, Marie tried to eradicate her natural shape and conform to her Latino family's beauty ideals of having big breasts, thick thighs, but no fat. However, a year abroad in Spain (where no talked about how big your butt was behind your back) took Marie from from-hiding baggy jeans and tees to form-flaunting dresses and belly shirts. In a world where telling someone that they lost weight is always considered praise, we love Marie's mission of breaking fat away from its "treacherous connotations" and showing that it's just as praiseworthy to be the weight that you naturally (and healthfully) are. On the front lines of the body-image battle, Marie fearlessly calls out fat-shamers while spreading the plus-size acceptance that her struggles have taught her. After watching Marie's episode, you may find yourself condemning your body less and being a little more grateful just to have one at all.

Singapore 189673
The hotel is well known for it's opulent colonial and authentic design, for it's afternoon tea. And it's also known for the Singapore Sling, the world famous cocktail that has been created here, in the bar of the Raffles Singapore.
When checking into the Raffles the first thing you will notice are the originally dressed doormen. Their uniforms are almost as famous as the Beefeaters' in London. They wear traditional robes of the Sikhs', one of the most important religions in India, and pay a tribute to the British Empire that included India at the time of the Raffle's opening in 1897. No one really knows why, out of all the uniforms, it had to be the Sikh's. But the Raffles' mascots sell very well as little puppets to thousands of tourists every year.
The doorman opened the car door for Kate Middleton, who visited the Raffles together with Prince William in 2011.
The lobby is impressive and makes you feel like in a different time …with all it's pros and cons.
You guessed right, the Raffles is not a modern hotel.
If you are looking for comfy chic, modern design, cozy sofas and soft rugs, the Raffles is not for you. Here you get history. You will find authentic rooms, that have not been changed for 100 years and therefore might remind you a little bit of a museum rather than a hotel. I would not stay for a whole week, but definitely for a couple of days just to breathe the colonial elegance of the Raffles. Or you could always stay in the Grand Hotel Suite, which is a little more comfortable, but it will set you back a hefty 4.000 Euros per night.
After checking in, I suggest you to relax at the Writer's Bar, on your right by the old bookshelf and order your fist Singapore Sling – you can choose from quite a few variations of the famous cocktail:
Relax and enjoy people watching. Elizabeth Taylor used to have a Singapore Sling in this very bar, as well as many famous authors of the time. They gave the author's bar its name.
With good reason the hotel is proud of it's famous guests.
Tiffin Room, where it is served, is one of the most beautiful breakfast rooms that I found in whole Asia. All hot dishes are prepared right in front of you. The service is all Raffles: impeccable.
Breakfast in the Tiffin Room will be an experience to remember.
Rooms and Suites
All of the rooms are marvelous, but as I said, not the most comfortable if you are a pampered luxury traveller. Wooden floors, wooden beds and an elegant but simple design are featured in most rooms. The floors are embellished with oriental rugs, that's as cozy as it got in the year 1887, when the hotel was built.
The Grand Hotel Suites and the Palm Court Suites are the most beautiful to me. They are located right next to the palm court, which is reserved for hotel guests only. This quiet place of retreat is important considering the hotel is a tourist attraction and gets flooded by people.
One of the five "Grand Hotel Suites", which are considered as the most beautiful suites of the hotel.
Restaurants and Bars
You get the Singapore Sling, the hotel's proudest cocktail creation in 6 different variations and for prices that would make any European turn on his heel. But this is the Raffles after all, and there is just one place in the world where you can order the real and original Sigapore Sling (which, btw, tastes a little more sour than in most other places in Singapore).
6 Sling variations, prices in Singapore dollars
Guests and tourists can indulge in various restaurants and bars, both inside and outside. The "Raffles Grill" is the only restaurant with culinary significance though. In this marvelous, stylish, and yet again a little bit austere place you will experience French haute cuisine on its highest level.
The Raffle gets rushed by tourists. The hotel's staff not only have to keep the hotel guest happy at all times but also act as a barrier to prevent tourists from entering the parts of the hotel that are reserved for guests only. And I have to say the staff balance those two worlds skillfully and very elegantly.
Hotel guest find their peace and relaxation in this beautiful landmark.
Pool and Gardens
The Raffles is a gigantic building with several wings and annexes. With the hotel grew the little gardens and parks between the buildings. They now serve as great places for a quiet read or a little stroll and never get too crowded. The pool area is pretty, nothing spectacular, but it is quiet and completely isolated from the tourists. Needless to say, pool service is perfect.

What would it mean to not be dominated by hurt? What would it feel like to not react when abused, blamed or targetted in some way? What would it feel like to give power back to love?
A little while ago now I started an autopsy on 'hurt' to find out what it was really all about. I was tired of reacting and feeling emotional, I was tired of the upset and the inner discomfort, and I was tired of wasting days stressed and behaving in a way that was intense for myself and those around me.
Of course when another person is choosing to be loving, there is nothing here to trigger me to react and because of this, it is easy to respond in kind.
There have been many other occasions when another person has expressed to me something personal about myself, and I could have easily reacted from insult or hurt given the content that had been raised, but the loving quality that they have expressed meant that I did not feel hurt at all. In fact, I have felt the truth in what has been shared as well as immense gratitude for the opportunity provided to change and live more aligned to my true self. When the intention behind the comment was from tenderness and care, I would feel every bit of the support.
It is not so easy however, to not react when another is choosing to express themselves in a way which is unloving or abrasive.
The hurt from these situations was something that I would usually carry with me for some time, and the way I can be when I am hurting is just as abrasive and uncaring as the behaviour of the person who may have incited the hurt in the first place.
What I have felt here is more of a backlash and sometimes I was just collateral damage, caught up in the path of someone's pain and frustration where they were desperate for relief. Without knowing my true value or having love for myself, it is easy to fall into the turmoil and become part of the cycle.
I cringe when I admit this, but for many years when I was hurt I would talk about the problem incessantly and in a way that was not constructive or healing. I could talk badly about the person, I could make assumptions about what is going on, I could avoid the person, I could withdraw from the person, I could hold a grudge against the person and for many years I would turn the matter onto myself with self-beratement, feeling an immense guilt for how I had not handled the situation well. I can do all of this behind a wall that says "I can't stand feeling this hurt anymore, please stay away from me."
This way of being with hurt has never served me well. It impacted on my relationships and capped the opportunity for any real healing or understanding.
Bringing my Hurt to Universal Medicine
When I first came to the teachings of the Ancient Wisdom as presented by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, I felt hurt from everyday life and lived behind a wall in an effort to not feel what I was feeling. The wall did not work well and hurt could enter my body like lightning. In fact, my body would experience hurt long before my brain had even registered what had happened before me.
Despite my 'wall' never serving as a supportive technique to deal with hurt, I continued to spend my days with it up, keeping people out and keeping me contained too. Now I realise that all I was really doing was to stifle love – I stopped myself from allowing love in and love out, so it makes sense that my days were full of hurtful situations and reactions, for if there is no love, there is everything else.
The teachings encouraged me to bring love and care to myself each day, and eventually my self-worth and sense of value began to blossom. I didn't rely on others so much to be 'pleasant' or 'friendly' or even 'polite' so that I felt secure and so that I could manage my reactions, as I was providing for and honouring myself. I was dealing with my hurts as they presented instead of burying them, and in this I found that my wild reactions to others began to subside.
I discovered how important it is to not fight the hurt but to surrender and honour the feeling of fragility, bringing tenderness and deep care to myself until the inner turmoil shifted. Sometimes I needed to reach out for support and talk the situation through with someone I really trusted.
Learning to care for myself during these times allowed space for me to return to my true self, as well as the opportunity for great clarity and wisdom to rise to the surface – an essential step to giving power back to love.
These changes were a step in the right direction, but I began to wonder whether it was at all possible to not react when another person was aggressive, hurtful and accusatory? Could I stay connected to my own steadiness and simply observe the behavior before me without taking on board another person's reaction myself?
I felt there was a possibility that I could not react to another, but I wasn't going to just believe something because I wanted it to be true, I had to know it was truly possible from my own lived experience. Fortunately, I did not have to wait too long for a situation to arise that would provide the answer.
In the days following the 2015 Universal Medicine Lennox Head Retreat I was feeling particularly amazing, enjoying an unshakable inner knowing and stillness in my body that I had never felt before. Upon returning to work I felt a certainty and assuredness and was handling tasks and resolving problems with ease.
My newfound calm approach showed me that the chaos was outside of me, not inside of me.
I was then approached by a work colleague who made certain accusations. An experience like this would have normally disturbed me and my typical response would have been to deny what I had been feeling, smother the hurt with 'nice' or 'polite' and say nothing, or I would become defensive. In this situation though, I responded to the other person instead of going into a reaction. I spoke openly and honestly about how I was feeling without any holding back. My words were expressed with love and consideration, and I shared with utter honesty about my concerns. Initially, this situation had all the warning signs indicating conflict, but this is not what happened. When we parted, we both knew that something amazing had happened for us both and we commented to this effect.
This particular situation showed me that when I observe a situation as it unfolds before me rather than be all-involved, I have clarity and can express from my true self because my hurts and reactions are not charging the situation, but when I make myself small, make it all about me, go into self-doubt, blame, jealousy, frustration, anger, insult or defensiveness, I choose to be distracted by all the emotions that are there waiting to have an experience.
It appears that there is no end to the reactions I can endure in my life if this is what I choose. As difficult as it is to admit, these reactions are simply distractions used to keep me from feeling all the times in my life where I have chosen not to express what I truly feel and where I have said YES to the emotional rollercoaster rather than YES to love.
There are many other situations that have presented since where I have been able to connect with the truth instead of simply reacting to the situation, but presently I have not yet mastered this way of living and do not live it with any consistency. What I can say however, is that I have experienced a glimpse of what it would be like to not take life and the reactions from others so personally.
By choosing to not be dominated by emotion, we maintain a sense of clarity, we bring understanding to our relationships – and in this we give power back to love.

A potentially life-saving treatment for depression recently got more convenient with the introduction of a new nasal spray called esketamine — a drug treatment that the Medical University of South Carolina helped research.
"This is probably the most exciting thing I've worked on," said Dr. Robert Malcolm, an MUSC psychiatrist that led the institution's research on the medication. "It is a breakthrough."
In 2016, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that over 8 percent of Americans had depression within a given two-week period. During that same year, 11 percent of South Carolina high school students reported experiencing at least one major depressive episode, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
"Depression is a common illness in South Carolina," Malcolm said.
For the past few years, Malcolm conducted research studies and the new esketamine treatment was a part of that. With a number of patients having a good response to the medication, those people will continue to receive the medicine until it's fully on the market, he said.
When the medication is officially available to the public, it will be recommended to use where other anti-depressants are either unsuccessful or in need additional enhancements.
The medication, which will be marketed as Spravato, was officially approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of depression this month and was immediately followed by a collection of mixed reviews.
Where many experts see the new nasal spray as a breakthrough for its rapid treatment of depression symptoms in a matter of minutes and hours, issues around cost and a lack of certainty of long-term effects have also introduced skepticism.
"It's exciting, but we have reservations," Malcolm said.
The groundbreaking treatment is an evolution of a popular and somewhat similarly scrutinized infusion therapy with an anesthetic called ketamine.
Where now ketamine is also sometimes used as a very rapid treatment of depression symptoms, historically, it's a popular anesthetic that doesn't interfere with a person's ability to breathe while providing general anesthesia. Today, it's also used as a pediatric anesthetic.
Around the 1990s, Yale University discovered that it was effective and incredibly efficient in treating symptoms of depression. But before that, in the 1970s and the 1980s, it was also a popular club drug referred to as "Special K" because of one of its side effects can be hallucinations. This is where some additional scrutiny and regulation of ketamine and esketamine, which has similar side effects, comes from.
Both treatments are recommended to use when anti-depressants haven't been effective. To get treated with ketamine, patients must connect with a specialized clinic that offers the treatment via an IV drip.
Similar to ketamine, esketamine won't be available over-the counter even though it's a nasal spray.
"I think people are concerned that this could be abused as a nasal spray," Malcolm said. "People could take it with them."
Patients will have to be treated in clinics to receive a dose of esketamine. Though a nasal spray component of ketamine is already prescribed, that specific medication is much milder and a little different than the esketamine that was recently approved by the FDA.
"It's a wonderful step forward," said Dr. Richard Bowen, owner of the Charleston Ketamine Center, who has done more than 2,000 infusions with the anesthetic.
One of the most prominent criticisms of ketamine has always been the cost, and the new esketamine doesn't look like it will be any different. Where an average cost of six initial ketamine infusions is around $500 per infusion, a one-month initial treatment of esketamine is probably going to cost between $4,000 to $6,000.
Both Bowen and Malcolm find the pricing to be incredibly unfortunate considering the severity of depression.
"What a lot of people don't realize is that depression is frequently a terminal illness," Bowen said.
Megan Grace Sanchez, a Mooresville, N.C., resident and retired police officer, said the infusion treatment she received under Bowen rapidly calmed her suicidal thoughts.
When anti-depressants weren't having an impact on her depression and were sometimes making her symptoms worse, she sought alternatives. Though initially nervous and skeptical about using ketamine, she felt more at ease after looking at how much experience Bowen had with the treatment.
"Those initial six treatments were very positive," she said. "That was the first time I had felt hopeful about a treatment in 10 years."
She said if Bowen recommends the new nasal spray, she will gladly use it.
With esketamine an FDA approved treatment, the hope is that more insurers will cover the cost for patients. One of the demographics Malcolm thinks will benefit the most is veterans.
In 2016, the Department of Veteran Affairs reported that the suicide rate for South Carolina veterans was much higher than that of non-veterans in the state. In Malcolm's experience, he found esketamine and ketamine to be a good treatment in immediately addressing suicidal thoughts and tendencies.
He said it also works where other medications have failed.
David Thomas, 76-year-old Army veteran and Greenville resident, said he has been using ketamine for about eight years. Without the treatment, he said, he would definitely be dead.
"Because I was suicidal, I don't have any doubt about it," he said. "Saved my life, no question in my mind."
With combating issues like post-traumatic stress disorder, Thomas hopes that esketamine will be a helpful alternative that will allow for him to get more assistance from the veterans hospital in addressing the cost. Currently, to get a ketamine infusion, he often has to pay out-of-pocket.
"I think it's going to be wonderful," he said.
Though long-term symptoms of both the anesthetic and the new nasal spray are still being researched and determined, experts don't denounce the impact of the FDA approving the medication. The hope is that in the future the treatment will be cheaper and possibly available even orally.
At this point, Malcolm said he trusts the medication to be successful.
"We've done three studies with the nasal spray," Malcolm said. "We've been working with this compound for a long time."

Estate Planning and Administration
Estate Planning
Our experienced team will help you to establish your estate planning goals and ensure that your plan takes care of your family and charities in the way you intend. These are difficult decisions that take time and we will assist you every step of the way. We will work collaboratively with your existing estate planning attorney, or recommend the right attorney to meet your needs.
Estate Administration
When named as corporate executor, we handle all aspects of estate administration, including:
- Probate
- Identification, valuation, and safeguarding of estate assets
- Payment of debts and expenses
- Preparation and filing of all necessary tax returns
- Post-mortem tax planning
- Distribution of assets in accordance with governing documents
- Preparation of family settlement agreements or final court accountings
We also provide tax preparation services when serving as agent for individual executors.
Case History
Simply appointing an executor for an estate is no guarantee of smooth sailing. Recently, for example, the sudden death of an executor, who was to continue as trustee, precipitated a crisis. The estate was found in disarray, no successor had been named, and the disbursement of funds had been delayed. After a court proceeding, Pennsylvania Trust was appointed as trustee.
Through painstaking reconstruction of the estate from brokerage statements and miscellaneous and often incomplete documents, we were able to prepare an accounting, construct specific trusts for a daughter and grandchildren, and arrange for distributions for tuition payments. Thus, the original intent of the will was preserved and the heirs received their rightful legacy.

Limited Duration Alimony
Divorce can be a stressful and often overwhelming process. Even after the separation has been finalized, disputes over alimony and child support can remain. Here is some information on limited duration alimony and other forms of spousal support you may be entitled to.
Limited Duration Alimony | What is Limited Duration Alimony?
Limited duration alimony is temporary spousal support in which payments are made for a fixed amount of time. In New Jersey, the length of limited duration alimony cannot exceed the length of the marriage. This type of alimony usually applies to marriages of less than 20 years in which the spouse receiving payments is likely to become self-sufficient at some point in the future. The amount of alimony paid during this fixed time can be subject to change. However, the length of time itself cannot be modified once it has been appointed.

Limited Duration Alimony | Open Duration
Formerly known as permanent alimony, open duration alimony applies to marriages over 20 years in which there is a relatively large disparity between incomes after divorce. For example, if one spouse was a homemaker or gave up career opportunities in order to support the other, they will likely never be able to reach the same standard of living they had during marriage. When this type of alimony is awarded, there is no fixed end date. However, payments may be modified if circumstances such as retirement or remarriage occur.
Limited Duration Alimony | Rehabilitative
Rehabilitative alimony is a series of payments made by one spouse so that the other can become self-sufficient. For instance, if one spouse wishes to pursue a degree or some form of vocational training after divorce in order to become fully independent, then the court may order the other spouse to pay alimony to support this goal. Rehabilitative alimony is awarded for a set timeframe based on the receiving spouse's plan to become self-sufficient. This can be issued alongside limited duration or open duration alimony.
