Resumes and movie trailers both have similar roles and purposes. In the film industry, a 2-minute trailer can make the difference between a movie being a flop or a blockbuster. I haven't found a site that publishes stats on resume views and effectiveness, but if you're curious, you can see movie trailer stats on Statiista: Most watched movie trailers within 24 hours of release as of March 2019 (in millions).
When you're job-hunting, making a positive first impression is a MUST. Especially now that online applications are the standard. It's not a matter of how many people are scouring the newspaper and taking the time to make phone calls or stop by anymore. Nowadays, people can apply for jobs in just one-click. Some people will even apply for jobs they aren't really interested in, simply because it's easy. This means that hiring managers often have an excess of candidates to screen.
Application tracking systems (ATS systems) counteract the excess applications by filtering out applications/resumes that don't meet a certain criteria. But there still ends up being too many to think they will all get considered. This is where screen-out factors come into play. When scanning through hundreds of resumes, hiring managers will discard resumes based on several conscious -and- subconscious factors.
So here's tip #1…
Recruiters and hiring managers don't have time to actually read every resume, so [initially] they flip through and only stop at the ones that:
In the meantime, try taking a cinematic approach to crafting your resume. Let's have a look at how movie trailers can help you get more interviews.
Start Strong and Get Right to the Point
Once you have their attention, you need to have a strong opening that addresses the employer's needs (and makes them want to keep reading). Do NOT start your resume with an 'objective statement' employer what you are looking for. This is a very common MISTAKE that I see all too often. Employers are not scanning resumes to see who they can help achieve their career goals. Employers are scanning resumes to see who can help them and how.
Examples for Contrast:
Objective Statement: Seeking to obtain a role in the IT field that will challenge me to apply my full skill set in addition to leaving room for advancement.
*Ask yourself - Is this statement saying anything about my experience that will help the recruiter see that I am the right candidate for this job? Plus...doesn't everybody want this?
Summary of Qualifications: Technically strong Network Engineer with a proven history of success designing cloud infrastructure solutions for enterprise level organizations.
Can you see how the Summary of Qualifications example would create more interest in reading more?
Movie trailers are always sure to mention Academy Awards, the biggest stars, and other attractions. You want to highlight the best parts of your experience -and- the most relevant. Do NOT waste the employer's time with an exhaustive list of all your duties 🤦♀. Tell the employer about the RESULTS you have delivered in previous roles so they can see what you are capable of doing for them.
Less Effective: Responsible for composing emails and sending on behalf of department managers, making appointments, answering incoming calls, and working with vendors for monthly townhall meetings ensuring that the company received the best rates.
More Effective: Reported directly to CEO handling internal communications and managing calendars for the entire leadership team comprised of five executives. Served as point of contact for vendors and coordinated logistics for monthly townhalls.
See the difference here? The second example is a much more powerful presentation of the same experience without lying or exaggerating. All it took was adding a few strong verbs and quantifying. Which takes us to the next point…
Strong verbs and quantification on a resume are like the special effects and background music in a movie trailer. It may feel awkward and exaggerated at first, but it has a HUGE impact on the effectiveness of your resume.
Tell the employer what you achieved -and- how. This is also illustrated in the previous example, but here are a couple more.
Less Effective: Increased sales and completed project under budget; received several awards and kudos while in this role.
More Effective: Skyrocketed sales by $1M within a year and concurrently slashed inventory costs by 48% by increasing customer engagement through digital gamification.
One more...
Less Effective: Managed the quality department and ensured that our permits/licenses were valid.
More Effective: Strategically led a team of 12 quality control technicians and held accountability for strict adherence to local and federal regulatory guidelines.
RESOURCE: You can find some ideas and decent examples of resume verbiage at www.JobHero.com.
This is extremely important! But so many job seekers overlook this. Your resume NEEDS to include the words that ATS systems and humans in your industry want to see. This is equal to using market research when producing a movie trailer. Producers will research their audience viewing preferences and develop a trailer that 'speaks their language'. - You would be reading job descriptions and crafting your resume to using the same language to describe your work experience.
Here is an example of someone applying for a role in human resources -or- asset management.
Less Effective: Distributed and kept track of all company owned computers and cell phones for new employees.
*No mention of HR -or- asset management in the above example. They have the experience, but did not convey that very well.
More Effective: Played an integral role in the onboarding process as Asset Manager, administering all company owned equipment and mobile devices for all new hires.
Even if you do not have all of the skills listed in the job description, you can still create an impressive and honest summary of qualifications by focusing on your strengths. Never bring attention to your weaknesses.
Less Effective: Good with [skills 1, 2 & 3]; very little experience with skill 4 but is a quick learner.
*The above is equal to saying – I'm not qualified for this job, but I will learn by watching YouTube videos on the job if you hire me (or go back to school, or take up a team member's time while they train me, or all of the above).
More Effective: Heavy background in [skills 1, 2, & 3] and committed to continuous professional development to stay current with top tools used in the industry.
*In the last example, the candidate is not misrepresenting their skill set, but they are not highlighting the fact that they don't have the all the required skills either.
See how that works?
Movie trailers are intended to create a specific mood and capture interest. The goal is to create enough interest to make you want to see the whole movie. The role of your resume is to capture just enough interest to trigger an interview request. There is a such thing as TMI on a resume.
If you try to provide enough information to make the employer to make a decision before they speak with you, chances are the decision will be 'not to meet with you'.
Have you ever heard someone say that they didn't go see the movie because the trailer made them feel like they already saw it? - I have!
On the same token, you do need to make sure you a clear about your relevant qualifications. Audiences may be willing to take a chance on a movie where they don't know what to expect, but most hiring managers will not call you without knowing your qualifications (even if your achievements are over the moon).
Just remember to share only information that makes your profile more desirable as a candidate. When you pay for a movie, do you want through 15 minutes of trailers for a totally different genre? If it's a horror movie, your audience most likely won't want to see trailers for love stories. If it's a PG family movie, it would be inappropriate to play 15 minutes of explicit horror; and so on.
Make the most effective use of the few minutes you have eyes on your resume by only sharing experience that is relevant to the job you are applying for.
For Example: If you are applying for a job as a sports newscaster or commentator, it might be beneficial to share that you were MVP on the college football team; for a job as a project manager in construction, sharing that information would not add ANY value to your resume.
In fact, you would be wasting the employer's time by including unnecessary information for them to read; or even worse, it might raise a red flag as the employer may be concerned about your ability to just plan, direct, and motivate (as a coach would) and fear that you will try to do it all yourself assuming that you are accustomed to being 'the star' of the show (aka MVP).
It is important to note that movie trailers are not written, produced, and edited by one person and then immediately released for millions of people to see. Movie trailers can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce, so studios gather a lot of input first.
Ask your friends, family, and or coworkers to have a look at your resume and provide honest feedback about the message it conveyed to them. Ask them specifically what they would think if they were the hiring manager or recruiter.
Try re-watching movie trailers that grabbed your attention and you may find some great ideas about how to improve your resume to get better results.
The one strategy I would NOT recommend adapting from movie trailers is that they tend to try and make the trailer appealing to the widest audience possible [according to an article by The RINGER called Meet the People Who Grind Out the Best Movie Trailers in the World (there a few great movie trailers for you to check out there as well, now that you can view with a different mindset)].
Anyway, aiming to appeal to the widest audience is NOT a good strategy for resumes. It is okay to have multiple resumes (just as you will often find multiple versions of a movie trailer); and one might be serve as your all-purpose resume. But you NEED to make your resume as specific as you can (aka a tailored resume) for each job you apply for whenever possible (at least per job title).
For Example: If you are multi-faceted enough to qualify for totally different job roles, you might have one resume for web development and another for marketing management. While both resumes might list the same job history, each on will put an emphasis on the most relevant achievements and keys skills for the specific role you are applying for.
You want your resume to present you as the best possible candidate for that particular role.
It may seem tedious, but it is totally worth taking that extra 20 minutes to switch up keywords and achievements to be a better fit for each job title.

We have stayed at Mare Azur four or five times this year. The valet parking service is excellent and this makes life easy. I love having a full kitchen and the option of doing laundry. It's really like having our own condo in Miami. The views are great on either side of the building, facing the bay or facing the city.

Okay, I have a strange problem. I am using Eudora as my email client. The university I'm working with requires STARTTLS to both send and receive. No problem there. However, Pop Tray is causing something weird to happen. I had to use the POP3 SSL plug-in to scan email at the source and to delete the usual unwanted junk before downloading.
Now, here's the problem: when I click on "Run email Client" I'm taken to Eudora as usual. I download the emails and that's when the problem happens. Eudora indicates it's waiting for emails to appear. Minutes pass and still nothing happens. If I shut down Eudora and then reopen it, the emails are there, waiting to be read. Here's the other half of the problem: If I shut down Pop Tray and just go directly to Eudora, the emails are downloaded and appear instantly. For some reason which escapes me, Pop Tray seems to be acting as a barrier.
Any suggestions, any help would be most appreciated.
Many thanks,
Plug-in problem. I think . . .
General discussion about PopTray. You love it? You hate it? Talk about it here.

Unofficial translation National Broadcast by General Prayut Chan-o-cha Head of the National Council for Peace and Order 6 June 2014
Unofficial translation
National Broadcast
by General Prayut Chan-o-cha
Head of the National Council for Peace and Order
6 June 2014
Good evening to all Thai people in all sectors – be they government officials, the police and military, the private sector and the general public – that have given support and cooperation in moving our country forward together with the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) since 22 May 2014.
Let me reiterate that there were many reasons why it was necessary for the NCPO to take control of national administration. The most important was because we respect the democratic process.
Our decision was based on the fact that the three main branches of national administration – executive, legislative, and judiciary – were being undermined. We therefore have had to safeguard democracy. We came in to make our country stronger, laying firmer foundations to prevent the structure from collapsing so that our country will be ready to move towards becoming a fully functioning democracy.
The undermining structure which I mentioned involves the conflicting and overlapping working relationship between the public sector (civil service and political appointees), the private and business sectors and the civil society. It was problematic and led to a situation where respect for the laws was scant. General laws were ineffective. Special laws such as the Internal Security Act, Emergency Decree, and Martial Law had to be invoked. Independent agencies were unable to fully perform their duties. The judicial system was not working effectively. People started to lose trust and faith in the whole system. Laws and law enforcement officers were not being respected, making it impossible to solve the issues. We were thus becoming an immoral society. I will not mention about the existing good things but will only mention things that are damaging.
Therefore a society without morality, without virtue, without good governance, could not move the country forward. The country must be ruled with good governance as His Majesty the King has clearly and continuously shown us.
State officials and other systems were being controlled and manipulated in every way by corrupt individuals, political parties and populist schemes. There were even problems with the passing or drafting of the laws due to interference in the interconnected administrative systems. There were some good things, but I shall refer only to the problems. As a result, there were widespread conflicts at many levels from the civil society to socio-economic. On international relations, we were losing trust and confidence and our dignity was not duly honoured by the international community.
We understand that we are living in a democratic world, but is Thailand ready in terms of people, form and method? We need to solve many issues; from administration to budget system, corruption, and even the starting point of democracy itself – the election. Parliamentary dictatorship has to be removed. All these have caused conflict and unhappiness among Thai people. Government officials could not work. So I had to ask myself "Can we let this continue?". We tried everything to resolve the problem through peaceful dialogue and legal means.
This situation has been going on for more than 9 years, and the past 6 months have been the most intense period. There were many deaths, injuries, losses, and resulting legal cases, many of which are still unresolved. What we are doing today is to try and bring everything back to normal. We intend to return happiness to everyone living in Thailand, both Thais and foreigners; expand economic and social cooperation with our partners, and prepare ourselves for the ASEAN Community and AEC in the near future.
Today, we have received both praise and criticisms. It is normal that there are people who agree with us as well as people who do not. But in the interest of national administration, I will mainly consider the criticisms. These will be carefully considered and analyzed. If they come from good intention and are for the benefit of the nation, I will turn them into actions. It is normal to have people who disagree with you when you take on such an important task. But please be assured that we are doing the best we can in order to achieve our goal of a fully functioning democracy which is accepted by all sides.
In exercising state power at present time, general laws and martial law are still concomitantly necessary. In the past, people were not respecting the general laws. Although today we are using the highest security law, not all components are being exercised but only those that we deemed necessary. There may be some disruptions or inconveniencies for some groups or foreigners, but we are asking for your understanding of our intentions. If we cannot keep the situation under control after we invoked the martial law, then no other laws in the world will work in Thailand. We will try to return to the use of normal laws as soon as possible, but people have to respect the law. I do not want the international community to view us as lawless people who use violence as a means to get what we want. We have to change this perception.
If these conflicts and violence or incitements continue, a successful and peaceful election is impossible. If the elections were to take place and a government was formed amidst conflict, violence, and protests, and was not accepted by the people, will the problem ever be resolved? There may be new protests and we will have to use force to suppress them. We have gone that way many times unsuccessfully.
As for the establishment of National Reconciliation Center, my primary objective is to give people an opportunity to talk to each other after breaking up into groups since nine years ago. The NCPO will act as an observer, a facilitator and an information provider. We will collect ideas from all sides as well as use information gathered by previous attempts in order to encourage national reconciliation and reforms. We welcome all sides; conflicting groups, political parties, and we will discuss all issues and openly share information. The military will not judge what is right or wrong. We are inviting all to participate with less involvement of the military in this effort so that we can move onto the second phase – the forming of a government, a reform council and a legislative council. All issues will be brought before the reform council. Issues which have reached agreement from all sides will be forwarded to the legislative council and go through legislative process. In the past, there were only talks and discussions on the principles, but no concrete actions were carried out.
In order to achieve reconciliation, some activities will have to be carried out including recreational and entertainment activities so the people are relaxed and ready to talk. We want to stop all conflicts. This is just the first phase. In the second phase, everything will be resolved through the laws and the reform council.
Many people are concerned that we may be rushing through the process. I can assure you that I am doing all I can to prevent any conflict from recurring in the second phase. If conflicts are still unresolved, the reform council in the second phase will not work. So, once again, I am asking for your understanding and support. The directions will be based on what have been proposed by the experts and scholars. The NCPO will only collect and provide information. In the past, people only choose to receive information from the media sources that appeal to them.
Some of the prolonged problems that I have mentioned did not start out only 9 years or 6 months ago but have been going on for decades without being resolved through the existing democratic process.
Today we are giving an opportunity to all government officials to work for the country, for the people, and for the King to resolve the people's suffering and foster happiness according to their oath of allegiance so that they can truly act as good civil servants under His Majesty the King.
If national administration is improved in all aspects including integration of all government operations by connecting plans, budget, and people, this will reflect a good beginning. From there, the central, local and regional sectors as well as the smaller units will benefit. If we do not start at the top, then it will not succeed.
It will not solve the problems, such as issues concerning water and land. And the Thai people will suffer from the consequences of these issues.
As for the international community, we are asking for your patience to give us time as we build our country and a democracy in which the Thai people possess discipline and a true understanding of democracy with good governance in accordance with the philosophy of sufficiency economy of His Majesty the King. Everybody is equal, in a society with morals, compassion, and unity. We have to look ahead to the people and the problems that we need to overcome. We have to look beyond ourselves or our own benefits.
The NCPO has been working for only 2 weeks. We have given our priority to solving the economic problems concerning people with low income. We have continued with the operations of all 21 ministries in accordance with the NCPO's policies. We listened to all stakeholders, be it public or private sectors dealing with economic and social affairs as well as the general public – and consider all suggestions and use them as guidance. Existing procedures are reviewed, adjusted, and improved upon through brainstorming and discussions between government officials and the NCPO.
Projects that do not impose a burden or long term effects to the national budget system will be carried out. Corruptions will be dealt with. Individuals who are found guilty will be prosecuted according to law. All these will be transparent.
Matters regarding security, both internal and external, fall under the responsibilities of the Ministry of Defence, the Interior Ministry, the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We need to prepare ourselves for the three main pillars of the upcoming ASEAN Community and particularly the ASEAN Economic Community. Today we have clear policies and designated responsible agencies, so they need to perform their duties. This is important in order for us to regain confidence from the international community.
I have instructed all agencies to operationalise their work in conformity with the framework of the Office of the National Economics and Social Development Board. The Budget Bureau should be consulted at the very beginning. There will be an evaluation process and projects that lack efficacy will be reconsidered, even if they are security matters.
The public or private sectors should jointly promote information on international cooperation through all channels. Cooperation between military and people along the border areas will be enhanced. This includes the ASEAN forests project which has been carried out by military units. The establishment of factories and the control of daily, seasonal and yearly labour along the border areas should be looked into. Some of these activities have been assigned to security agencies and are being expedited. Some are being restructured to ensure more effective results.
As for the establishment of factories at border areas and labour control, these are necessary in order to create job opportunities in rural areas. Otherwise people will travel to Bangkok and major cities to find work exacerbating problems such as drug trafficking, illegal immigration and crimes. These pose security problems in the short and long term.
Security issue is very important. It is not the responsibility of only the military and the police. It is the responsibility of all people. It is the duty of all citizens to be vigilant and to notify the authority of any wrongdoings. If you do not help the authority, the problem may lead to violence and the security personnel may have to use force. Everyone has to learn to look after themselves and the society, and to minimize conflicts between people and officials. Reduced conflicts would lessen the need for law enforcement and prevent officials from making demands for personal benefit. Like in developed countries where people respect the law and security officials are there to provide safety and look after the people.
As for the strengthening of the military, I will oversee the development process which includes personnel, structure, and equipment development. This will be in accordance with the existing development plan and conducted with transparency. It is a national security matter which need to be made understood at domestic and internal levels.
We are also concerned with the problems of the farmers. At present, we cannot rush the effort to sell the rice in stock because this will cause a price drop and lead to more corruption. This will have to be carried out with careful consideration, evaluation, and inspection. The NCPO will support any efforts to inspect the rice stock if requested. Those who committed illegal actions will be prosecuted. From what I have learnt today, the price of rice per ton has increased slightly. I think it is better that we control the quantity of rice in the market and maintain the market price than if we were to flood the market with the rice in stock and make the price drop. We have to be very careful. Everything has to be fair and transparent.
Concerning the Board of Investment, this is the responsibility of the economic working group. The board has to be established as soon as possible. The budget of 700 billion baht cannot be approved all at one time. The approval process for projects will have to be more thorough. Emphasis will be placed upon projects concerning alternative energy sources, projects that are energy efficient, projects that will create more job opportunities to the people, projects that will bring benefits to our country and projects that will strengthen our country.
I want Thailand to have an industry with small, medium, and large size factories. At the beginning we will have to start from small and medium size factories that can produce value added high technological components, particularly machinery. If we still depend on other countries for the production of machinery, we will not develop technology of our own. We need to be self-reliant. It is important that we learn from foreign investors and encourage them to use local raw materials.
The budget for fiscal year 2014 which has previously been considered and approved will go ahead to ensure progress, reduces the suffering of the people, and reassures investors. However, there must be clear rules and regulations to make sure that national interest is not compromised. The budget for fiscal year 2015 is also being considered simultaneously. It is in the process of being evaluated by the Budget Bureau and the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Board. They will be responsible for controlling national budget spending from the start. Similar projects should be integrated to ensure fairness and transparency. For example, government agencies that deal with water management or utilities have to come together to discuss and formulate a policy that clearly defines responsibilities of each other. Top priority is to identify host agency for water and utilities. Projects that will create jobs and stimulate the economy are also to be expedited.
We are in the process of integrating new initiatives or projects. We have established a committee to oversee the financial aspect of all ministries. Some members will be military personnel in order to ensure progress. This committee will have the responsibility to inspect those financial operations which are unclear or problematic. Any problem will be reported to the head of NCPO to prevent any mistakes. We are very careful with the national budget in order to make sure that all are in accordance with the law, fair, and transparent. There must be no corruption like in the past. Please do not believe it when you hear that I have been ordered, or coerced, by some influential figure to approve some projects. I do not negotiate with anybody. We want to change the society, so we have to set an example. Please ask me or the NCPO if you have any enquiries. I only receive suggestions from various sectors through my working group.
Suggestions can be made through official and unofficial channels. We welcome all suggestions and we will consider which suggestions are beneficial and feasible or which can wait for later in the second and third stages. I value all suggestions. We also look at suggestions from the press and social media. There are probably more than 10,000 suggestions that we are trying to process and this will take some time. We might not be able to do everything at once, so we will prioritize them.
Please be confident of our work commitment. We put people's need first. Problems such as rice, agricultural products, tax, and energy price will be thoroughly checked, or delayed, in order to find the best approach. All solutions must be based on principle and rationale. People do not consider facts and tend to believe what we like, what we want to believe, but sometimes we must listen to the other side, or look at the whole picture. This is why I need to receive explanations and clarifications from all agencies that are facing obstacles in order for me to see the whole picture.
Today we do not yet have the facts on many issues which require legal and procedural considerations. For example, the issues of energy and state enterprises are complex and need to be considered carefully. They are also connected to other issues such as tax reduction and oil prices, which will be affected. Therefore we have to start by looking at the whole structure. This issue may be delayed for a while, but will continue as planned once the root problems have been located and tackled. If we reduce prices as requested without having resolved the fundamental problems, other problems concerning transportation and utilities will surely follow. We will have to carefully look at all aspects, including details of investors, their profit expectations, and most importantly the real benefits they bring to the Thai people.
I can assure you that the NCPO does not gain anything from this. We are here to resolve the problems, not to create more. I urge you all to be vigilant and help us stop all corruption through the use of law, and to avoid further conflict and confrontations. The NCPO will look into the problems brought to its attention and try to solve our shared problem.
I understand it is very dangerous to use absolute power to resolve national economic and financial problems, especially in the long run. But the most important problems we are facing today concern energy, taxation, prices of goods, and unchecked creditor networks. All these must be dealt with as soon as possible, but with careful consideration. If we rush into things and create more problems later, we will be held accountable and criticized.
We will expedite the approval of various projects to stimulate the market. Next week we will have a meeting to discuss projects which need executive approval at the ministerial level. Foreign investments, especially those with high budgets and long-term contracts will also be reviewed. All agreements must be legal, honourable, and accepted by the Thai people.
My intention is to create unity among Thai people. People should feel that they and their properties are safe and secure; that they live in a social order that us just and moral - a society that does not tolerate corruption.
As for the justice system, I think all agencies involved already know their duties and the scope of their powers. However, they have to be able to perform their duties without outside pressure and influence. In the past, this was not the case and people started to lose respect for the laws and the system. The NCPO has removed these external influences for you so it is time to regain people's trust and confidence.
I have touched on many issues involving many people. The curfew has been shortened, or lifted, in certain tourist areas. We will continue to reduce the restrictions imposed by martial law as the situation improves.
Some media such as television and radio satellite stations have been known to cause and promote conflict. These are being investigated and will be closed if found to be the cause of the problems. Contracts and agreements will have to be reconsidered. I am asking for the cooperation from all media to stop inciting conflict and support us in our efforts to resolve national problems.
We have seized a large number of war-grade weapons during the past weeks. We are investigating the sources and networks of these weapons. These people were given the chance to turn themselves and their weapons in to the authorities. They have not, so now we are doing our duty. War weapons have been smuggled into Thailand through our borders. Military and police personnel can only observe certain border areas while the smugglers keep changing their routes. I take full responsibility for this matter. We need to find new measures to support and enhance these military operations, such as procuring modern techonology equipment which is used in other countries. But we have budget contraints. Therefore we need to enlist the help of the local people to keep a watchful eye over the border areas.
On the issue of social psychology, we should give focus to instilling conscience, education, public service, and reducing large scale permanent structures that have no use. We need to build quality human resources before building large scale and unnecessary luxurious undertakings which does not meet the needs of the people. We need to be moderate.
People have to spend time and incurr expeditures in travelling to receive public service. I have already given instructions that the public should have unhindered access to public services through either the existing mechanisms or new systems.
On cultural issues. We should help to reinforce the values of "Being Thai", national pride, and upholding the institution of the monarchy. These values should be included in the school curriculum by the Ministry of Education.
On tourism, we should ensure that tourists feel safe and secure. However foreign tourists should not have a perception that they could come to Thailand to commit illegal activities as often portrayed in the movies. I am ashamed. Do you not feel the same when this is portrayed in foreign films? Everyone should join hands. Entrepreneurs should act within the confines of Thai culture and love the country.
On religion, every religion can co-exist in Thailand and are all under the patronage His Majesty the King. Every religion teaches people to be good but there are some who are anti-religion or have ill intentions. The responsible agencies must look into the matter.
On the development of teachers and education system, we should resume courses on history, civil duties, and morals into the current curriculum. The purpose is to instill discipline, strengthen the physical and mental state, and reinforce conscience and social responsibility. We need to encourage our citizens, children, government officials and all sectors to build a systemic way of thinking by not thinking only in the short term basis. One should complete what has been started. Think for the long term with focused and rational thinking. Do not believe in what others say but it must be proven. National interest must come first. The people in society should have a sense of generosity, sharing, not become a society of abusing and defaming each other. We have to compete with many countries. Tourism is the most important because it generates tremendous income for the country so we need to push forward.
On the disbursement of state budget, I am concerned as it is political work and deals with populist policies which are not inclusive. Everyone must cooperate with each other to build immunity. I think the international community will understand. We need time to see the results of the performances and work things out. We have wasted a lot of time in quarrelling among each other. It should not happen again. NCPO will not argue with those holding different views, either from internal or external sources. Everyone had their own reasons. We need to talk and resolved the problems sustainably.
Regarding the legal procedures and other administrative issues, everyone has been rushing me to accelerate them. In all, the issues have come up to NCPO for consideration, be they matters regarding establishment, appointment, and abrogation. I fully understand your grievances and problems as well as your distrust. Please give me time to work things out. Do not rush me. If we do things wrong now, the problem will arise in the future.
On the three-phase Roadmap, do not be concerned and try to understand. I find that there have been some misinterpretations. I believe my message is already clear. But the more I say the more you will try to find faults. This makes it difficult for me to explain. We need to dedicate and sacrifice to resolve the prolonged problems which have existed for more than nine years.
International confidence in Thailand's economy is improving. Well known credit rating institutions have shown confidence. The stock market has continuously risen with high volume of trade. These achievements cannot happen without the cooperation of everyone.
We must devote and dedicate ourselves more for the Thai people. I refer to the civil servants and NCPO who need to make more sacrifices to make up for the time that was lost while you had to work under pressure and domination from divergent groups. The people have suffered for a long time. We will deliver as promised which is to bring back happiness to the Thai people.
The problem of the rice pledging scheme has eased. Do not worry about the unloading of the rice stockpile. We now need to tackle other issues. The budget will proceed as planned. We will ease the necessary measures that were enforced and may have had affected tourism or human rights.
We have sent out teams to engage with those groups with different views. The academics who are currently not in the country have said that they will cooperate with us. I do not want to impose restrictions on movements of those who are considered to symbols of the political landscape and democracy. But you should understand the current situation. After the situation has been resolved, you may continue to engage in your activities and posit political views but should refrain from creating conflict. Forgive us if we had offended anyone in our actions.
On creating general understanding of the situation, it does not rest only on the state sector, military, police or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs but depends on all sectors of society. I have asked all sectors especially the business sector to help in explaining the situation. We have send them documents both in Thai and English clarifying the cause of the problem, what we are doing and the progress made. It is important that all of us help to convey the message for the national interest.
Of high priority is in dealing with the issue of malicious influences and illegal gambling, especially betting on football. The responsible agencies must tackle these issues to prevent family problems. Debts must be repaid. NCPO never said to default on debts, including informal debts. But it must be fair. We can facilitate compromises in debt payment. I do not encourage people to resort to taking out more informal loans but should repay formal loans. A just process in repayments could be better controlled. By continuing to take out informal loans, people will be exposed to elements that take advantage of the situation.
There are many other issues I would like to talk about but I shall find time to do so at a later date. I appeal to the university students and human rights groups and activists to refrain from instigating abrasive protest movements. If these movements persist, we may pursue legal proceedings. To our younger generation, you should understand that the nation needs time to improve and heal. When it comes to a point when we cannot move forward, we have to pause and fix our problems and push forward with hard work.
These are the main areas I wanted to convey to you today.
Delays in taxation and other fiscal rates, SME reform, and other commercial undertakings are in the process of being improved. All the issues that have been proposed to me, I am aware of the obstacles thanks to consultations with civil servants and information received from the general public and the media. We have been able to organize our priorities accordingly and will start to improve pending issues such as national revenue, and national spending, in particular large-scale investments in infrastructure. What is most important is who benefits from these projects. It must be the general public and not just big industry. We will need to see how industry can help improve our handling of social issues such as public utilities, air pollution and waste disposal, especially building refuse management facilities and recycling centres. I have already given instructions so that these measures will lead to sustainable solutions and a stronger Thailand. Therefore let us come together to reform our country. I appeal to you all to join together and rebuild our nation. I urge all sectors to support me, the NCPO and the civil servants in a spirit of nonpartisan cooperation.
There have been gestures of holding 3 fingers in protest – that is fine. I have no conflict with you. But perhaps it would more appropriate if you can do this within your homes rather than in public. But how about if we all raise 5 fingers instead – 2 for the country, and the other 3 to signify religion, monarchy and the people. Raising 3 fingers is copying foreign films, but we should be proud of own identity. We can all live together regardless of our differences. All major reforms take time, but we can all work together to make this process quicker.
Thank you all for sparing your precious time to listen to me. I am doing my best to ease tensions. I do not wish for anyone to fear the use of full administrative power. Those who have not committed any wrongdoings have nothing to fear, because our aim is to bring back righteousness and fairness to all people. The judicial process will determine that in the end.
Once again, thank you very much and I ask for your cooperation and continued support. I believe that all Thai people understand my intentions.
Thank you very much.

text: July 15th is finally here and so is Karetus' highly anticipated Rave On! EP. After listening to the whole EP, one thing I know for sure is that this young Portuguese duo's productions have matured significantly since their first EP was released last summer. The first track of the release, 'Rave On!', is a high energy electro-house tune with an massive dubstep breakdown smack dab in the middle of it. The next track, entitled 'Fbeats,' is a midtempo tune that shows off funkier and glitchier side of Karetus' sound; this track, along with 'Rave On!,' are definitely my favorites off of the EP. The third song off the EP, 'Knock You Out,' is very trap-influenced and is probably my least favorite track; it's not that I don't like trap, I really do, but I definitely had a hard time appreciating it within in the context of this particular song and the EP as a whole. The final song of the release, 'Acid,' is an electro-house track featuring pounding tribal drum patterns and a punchy repeating bassline; I definitely like this track, but not nearly as much as I like the first two tracks off the EP, which are a bit groovier. While their Rave On! EP doesn't really do anything that innovative, Karetus accomplished exactly what they set out to do with this EP, which was to showcase their versatility within the different styles of Bass Music, and it definitely does that incredibly well.

February is Heart Health Month. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Hawaii, but don't despair! The good news is that most heart disease is preventable, and you don't have to make huge changes to lower your risk. A few simple tweaks to your diet can make a wonderful difference. Here are 10 heart-healthy foods that could save your life:
- Broccoli - Broccoli is a great vegetable containing sulforaphane, which encourages production of enzymes that protect your blood vessels and make your heart healthy enough to broc 'n' roll!
- Oranges - Vitamin C is a well-proven enemy of oxidative damage to the heart. Orange you glad the vitamin C concentration in oranges is super high?
- Blueberries - The anthocyanins in blueberries help reduce oxidative stress. Blueberries also help lower "bad" LDL cholesterol in the blood, thereby reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke! Our hearts love them berry much.
- Avocados - Researchers believe that adding an avocado a day to a heart-healthy diet can help improve LDL levels in people who are overweight or obese. Avocadoes are full of powerful antioxidants and a broad spectrum of vitamins. As the darling of the produce section, they're everything our hearts avo' wanted.
- Watermelon - Watermelon has the highest concentration of lycopene of any fresh fruit or vegetable, which helps fight heart disease and various types of cancer. It truly is one in a melon.
- Edamame - Yes, it's a fact! This popular pupu offers awesome benefits for your heart and is great for edamommy, edadaddy, and the whole family! It's high in fiber, an important nutrient in maintaining heart health and blood pressure levels.
- Lentils - Research suggests that the magnesium found in lentils is linked to a decreased chance of heart attack and stroke. Other cardioprotective functions provided by the nutrients in lentils include a decreased chance of everything from cancer to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's. Lentils may be pulses, but they don't set our pulses racing.
- Walnuts - Walnuts are a good source of heart-healthy alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid found in plants. Research suggests that walnuts support a healthy heart in a variety of ways, including helping heart arrhythmias and reducing inflammation and oxidation in the arteries after eating a fatty meal. Eat a couple a day, and your heart walnut fail.
- Quinoa - Compared to grains like wheat, quinoa is higher in fat content and provides useful amounts of heart-healthy fats like monounsaturated fat in the form of oleic acid. Recent studies have shown that quinoa doesn't get oxidized as rapidly as expected even with its higher fat content. We're really quinoa on it.
- Kale - One serving of kale contains 121 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids, with 500 milligrams being the recommended daily intake. Other good nutrients in kale like fiber, potassium, vitamin B6 and C also help support heart health. Our hearts are so crazy for it, it won't kale them.
Heart-healthy meals should be centered around fresh fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, and legumes. Our hearts "beet" for healthy food, so be sure to regularly include these ingredients, which research shows are healthiest for your heart!

Krystle and John's engagement shoot at Shorne Park
These guys booked Swinky Photography without hesitation after nattering for ages at a wedding fair! We clicked immediately. I love it when my clients are cool and chatty and we can build a genuine relationship. It's easier to take photos that way too; I can use that chemistry to really find personalities in the images.
Krystle and John are a lovely couple -and they look great together too! I can't believe Krystle's got a 12 year old son! (I would have been shocked if she said he was 5!).
I knew this engagement photoshoot in Kent would be fun… and it was. We took our time wandering the lovely Shorne Woods on a pleasantly warm evening as the sun was setting and I got to take my time setting up the shots in the gorgeous fading sunlight. It's a huge park and there was no one around so we really did get to take our time.
Krystle told me that John hadn't been looking forward to our photo-shoot. She said he didn't like to pose and didn't like the idea of everyone looking at them. But I used my Swinky magic to make sure the photo-shoot was fun; I've got lots of secrets up my sleeve that I pull out for moment like this and they make everyone forget that they hate to pose! That's a Swinky promise!
I can't wait to photograph this lovely couple's wedding in June and to meet Krystle's 12 year old son who is going to be Best man (I can feel the tears well up already for this one!)

The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), has listed six transformer lines waiting to be commissioned by the Minister of Power, Works, and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, in the coming weeks.
A statement signed by its General Manager (Public Affairs), Ndidi Mbah, listed the lines as 1X60MWA power transformer in Katsina Substation, 1X100MVA transformer in Ejigbo Substation and 2X60MVA in Odogunyan substation both in Lagos, 1X60MVA transformer in Old Abeokuta Substation, as well as 1X60MVA transformer in Calabar Substation.
The other is the 5km transmission line built with the collaboration of Enugu State Government to power the 1X30MVA Nsukka Substation.
The new lines add to the several transformers, substations and transmission lines completed across the country either by TCN in-house engineers or by contractors.
Mbah said with this development, the power supply rationing recently experienced by customers of Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company around Ejigbo, Lagos, when the old 1X30MVA was removed to pave way for the installation of the new 1x100MVA, was expected to stop.
"Installation of another 1X100 MVA to replace the second 1X30MVA in the same substation has also commenced, completion would further boost transmission capacity in that axis,"she added.
Installation of the 1X60MVA transformer at Karu substation, in Abuja was also completed recently and was energised on March 8, 2018, Mbah stated.
Similarly, she said installation of 1X60MVA at Dan Agundi Substation in Kano has reached advanced stage, so also is the replacement of 1X60MVA LEEEC Model transformer razed by fire during installation in Uyo last week by TCN contractors Messrs. T & D Technologies Limited.

This sequence of events is something that has happened to me too many times in the past two months of being at Emory. I make the decision to head towards the library to finish all of the work that I have, but the second I sit down, I end up spending more time messing around with my friends than doing any of my work. Despite the library being a study area for students, I find the first two floors, and at times the third floor, to be more of a social setting rather than a study lounge.
It wasn't that difficult to turn this story into a six-panel comic. I knew I was going to include the three instances where I was pulled away from doing my work. I found this assignment easier than I had expected it to be.

If some bird species make remarkably lengthy migrations, then 700 volunteer birders have just completed a very long journey of their own.
Eight years ago, the Northumberland and Tyneside Bird Club conceived the idea of producing a comprehensive atlas of species which breed or overwinter in the area.
The ground to be covered, including Northumberland, Newcastle and North Tyneside, totalled more than half a million hectares - one of the largest ornithological recording areas in England.
This was divided into 1,440 two-kilometre squares, or tetrads, which volunteers visited in summer and winter.
"A huge task lay ahead. Recruitment drives were undertaken to galvanise 'square bashers' to go out and scour every corner," says Tom Cadwallender, co-author of the atlas, along with wife Muriel, Tim Dean and Dick Myatt.
Now The Northumbria Bird Atlas has been published, with 199 species given the "full treatment" with description, locally-taken photograph and maps.
There is also information on another 82 species for which there is insufficient breeding or wintering data to justify a full account.
Volunteers came from the Northumberland and other bird clubs, the British Trust for Ornithology, wildlife groups and interested individuals.
Thousands of volunteer hours went into providing 375,000 records.
"The response was nothing short of magnificent. This willingness to complete survey work has been instrumental in ensuring that coverage of the county has been astonishingly complete," says Tom.
"The atlas has been a labour of love for an enthusiastic army of volunteer birdwatchers.
"Every nook and cranny of Northumberland, Newcastle and North Tyneside has been scoured, in summer and winter, in search of birds.
"The book is the culmination of many thousands of hours of time, collecting and interpreting data.
"We have, for the first time in one volume, detailed maps of bird populations and distribution across summer and winter for the recording area.
"The atlas is a landmark publication. No ornithological stone has been left unturned.
"It has been such a monumental and many faceted undertaking that it could not have been achieved without a vast team of supporters and helpers."
Financial help has come from the Heritage Lottery Fund, which has enabled the club to make available 1,000 copies of the book to middle and high schools and libraries in the recording area, to spread the word about birds and conservation.
The book cover is the work of Northumberland wildlife artist John Steele, while corporate and individual sponsors came forward for particular species.
There will be a public launch for the atlas in the Clore Suite at the Great North Museum: Hancock in Newcastle on April 9 from 4pm to 5pm.
The atlas is £25 + P&P (£5.95) from Northumberland and Tyneside Bird Club (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Also from Northumberland Wildlife Trust's headquarters at Gosforth or on-line at www.nwt.org.uk/shop

I decided to log the progression of my linguisitics studies. Currently, I'm just getting started and am in the first week of an online introduction course to the subject via UCLA's extension program. The plan is to figure out how much I actually like it and if I want to continue with it. I read one one of the class's textbooks over the holidays (Stephen Pinker's The Language Instinct) and enjoyed reading it. The first week's homework and reading assignment on morphology was also pretty cool.

RAMOS, District Judge.
Plaintiff Dalzell Management Company, Inc. (" Plaintiff" or " Dalzell" ) brings this action alleging a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(2)(C) (the " CFAA" ), and six state law claims arising out of the alleged wrongful eviction of Plaintiff by the Defendants. Defendants move to dismiss the Complaint based on the abstention doctrine of Colorado River Conservation District v. United States, 424 U.S. 800, 96 S.Ct. 1236, 47 L.Ed.2d 483 (1976). Docs. 26, 29. For the reasons stated herein, Defendants' motion is DENIED.
I. Background
a. Facts
Plaintiff is a real estate management company owned by Richard Sena (" Sena" ). Compl. ¶¶ 13-14. Since approximately 1997, Plaintiff's office has been located at 2 Bardonia Mall in Bardonia, New York (the " Premises" ). Id. ¶ 18. The Premises is a commercial office building with various offices and business located therein. Id. ¶ 19. Plaintiff alleges that Defendants Bardonia Plaza, LLC (" Bardonia Plaza" ), Eric Bergstol (" Bergstol" ) and/or Milton Shapiro (" Shapiro" ) own the Premises. Id. ¶ 21.
In or around 1997, Plaintiff's prior owner entered into an oral agreement with Bergstol, whereby Plaintiff would occupy the Premises to operate its property management business and would also provide property management services to Defendants. Id. ¶¶ 25, 27. The parties also agreed that Plaintiff was to be paid five percent of the base rents collected for each property managed as a monthly management fee. Id. ¶ 31.
Plaintiff alleges that it maintained its own computer system where it stored information
Page 594
concerning all properties managed by Plaintiff, including those not owned and/or operated by Bardonia Plaza, Bergstol and Bergstol Enterprises, Inc. (collectively the " Bergstol Defendants" ), as well as proprietary and confidential information of the Plaintiff, including Plaintiff's banking information. Id. ¶ 37. Additionally, Plaintiff alleges that only Sena had authority to access the server. Id. ¶ 36. The Bergstol Defendants were not authorized to access the server or Plaintiff's files. Id. ¶ 38.
On or about August 1, 2011, Shapiro met with Sena outside the Premises and gave Sena a Notice of Termination of Employment. Id. ¶ 43. When Sena returned to his office, Defendants Bergstol, Dominic Capio (" Capio" ), and Joel Black (" Black" ), and two information technology employees of Bergstol Enterprises, were there and were in the process of copying the files from Plaintiff's computer server. Id. ¶¶ 47-50. At that time, Bergstol also informed Sena that the locks to Plaintiff's office had been changed. Id. ¶ 49. Black next asked Sena to provide him with the password to a specific program used by Plaintiff to maintain records on the various properties it manages, but Sena refused; however, Black still managed to access Plaintiff's computer files. Id. ¶¶ 57-59.
Sena was later advised that he could return to his office on August 4, 2011 to retrieve his files and belongings. Id. ¶ 66. When Sena arrived at the office on the morning of August 4, Capio was present and advised him that he could take the files and belongings that had been placed in boxes. Id. ¶ 67. According to Plaintiff, Capio did not have the authority to touch or box Plaintiff's property. Id. ¶ 69. The police were called, and shortly thereafter, Bergstol arrived at the Premises with two individuals, id. ¶¶ 70-71. With police present, the parties agreed to give Plaintiff's attorney the keys to the Premises. Defendants also agreed that they would not re-enter the Premises or take any of Plaintiff's files. Id. ¶ 72. Sena proceeded to take some of his belongings, including the server and computers, and left the Premises. Id. ¶ 73.
Later that afternoon, Sena returned to the Premises. Id. ¶ 74. According to Plaintiff, Defendants had again called a locksmith who appeared at the Premises to change the locks. Id. ¶ 75. Once again in the presence of the police, the parties agreed that the locks could be changed but the police would take possession of the keys until the matter was resolved. Id. ¶ 78. Plaintiff alleges that the Defendants have destroyed Plaintiff's business and gained unauthorized access to, and stolen, its computer and paper files. Id. ¶ 79.
b. The Federal Action
On August 12, 2011, Plaintiff commenced a federal action in this Court against the seven named Defendants. Doc. 1. Plaintiff's action alleges: (1) a violation of the CFAA; (2) trespass to chattel; (3) trespass to land; (4) conversion; (5) destruction and loss of Plaintiff's business; and as against Bardonia Plaza, Bergstol and Shapiro, (6) wrongful eviction pursuant to New York State Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (" RPAPL" ) § 853 and (7) failure to provide the requisite notice to terminate a license pursuant to RPAPL § 713. Plaintiff seeks monetary relief, as well as injunctive relief enjoining Defendants from accessing, utilizing or disseminating the information taken from Plaintiff's computer system and seeking the return of the copied files.
To date, the parties have filed Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(a)(1) disclosures, Docs. 19, 23, and appeared twice before this Court. Additionally, according to Plaintiff, the parties have exchanged discovery ...

Sometimes it's the little things that can make all of the difference in presentations, and that includes the kinds of dishes used to serve butter, sauces, and other items. Using a plain white container, which can look clean and refined, can create a simple, yet sophisticated display. The CAC China Gourmet line of serving dishes uses this fact to its advantage, giving definition to its pieces but without overstating their purpose.

I know, it's only the middle of September. I'm worse than the stores which start putting out their holiday merchandise before Halloween even arrives. However, I need to have the cards printed before I leave for Mexico at the end of October. I always take the cards and envelopes with me to Mexico, and make them out while I am down there. They are all done by the time I return home and ready to send out after Thanksgiving.
Usually the picture I paint for the card is based on someplace I have traveled during the course of the year. So what will it be this year? A colonial church in Mexico? A medieval Norse church? Or perhaps a landscape of Alpine scenery in Switzerland? I won't tell. It's always a secret until I send them out, and there are a number of frequent readers of this blog who are on my Christmas card list.
I have been painting my own cards since I retired in 2004. As I was organizing my files on my new computer, I came across the first one I did, one of the few cards which was not based on my travels. It is a New England winter scene.
Come December, I will share with you the 2016 card.

Maj. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar, director of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) has ordered all station and precinct commanders to maintain cleanliness of the surroundings of their offices and facilities.
National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) P/Maj. Gen. Guillermo Lorenzo Eleazar (PHOTO FROM PIO NCRPO / FACEBOOK / MANILA BULLETIN)
As government offices where people would usually go to, Eleazar said that police stations and precincts must always be clean not only inside but also outside.
"We want to ensure that all police stations and precincts are presentable. Even if the equipment and other materials inside the police stations are already old, the police commanders should make sure that what they have are presentable police offices," said Eleazar.
He said police commanders should also make sure that the comfort rooms are clean and are working for the sake of complainants, especially women.
Eleazar recently inspected at least 10 police community precincts in Metro Manila. While the police stations are clean, the surrounding areas are untidy.
The official said that he usually finds cigarette butts, wrappers of candy or plastic bottles outside the police stations.
"I gave them a warning first. I told them to clean up and then I will go back. I talked to their chiefs of police and station commanders regarding the inspection," said Eleazar.
"Cleanliness is a must. It is important to have a good and clean working environment," he added.
There are 187 police community precincts in Metro Manila and Eleazar said that he intends to visit all of them. He said that police stations will also be visited.

"Evaluating the Prospects for Retail in 2016" at the Retail Leaders Forum
This week the annual Retail Leaders Forum kicks off in Sydney. As retailers from around the world converge on Oz, our thoughts turn to the ever-shifting retail landscape in Australia:
- The continuing influx of retail giants from other countries, adding to already intense competition
- A relatively weak Australian dollar
- The rise of the always-connected consumer who is plugged into prices for every item on every channel at every moment
A highlight of the conference is the panel slated for 9:55 a.m. Tuesday 1 March on "The Year Ahead: Evaluating the Prospects for Retail 2016." I am one of the panelists who will offer insights on both international and domestic trends affecting retail in 2016, as well as the impact of the economic and political environment on consumer confidence and spending. We'll share our predictions on which retail segments will do well this year – and which ones will struggle. And we'll give a peek into Australia's expected pace of globalization in the year ahead.
If you're headed to the Retail Leaders Forum, we hope you'll make time for what promises to be a provocative and insightful panel discussion. And if you're not attending, check back with us soon – we'll be providing a recap of highlights from the event and insights from the panelists! And whether you're there or not, you can follow the event in real time on Twitter at #RLForum.
