Luings to 7500gns at Castle Douglas
A top of 7500gns and an average £126 up on the year marked a succesful start to 2009 for Luing bull vendors at the breed's sale at Castle Douglas last Friday.
Leading the trade was rising two year old bull Benhar Jaguar from Robert McNee, Woodend Farm, Armadale. Fully home-bred Jaguar is by Benhar X-File, a bull which goes back to Dirnanean Goldie, and out of Benhar Lily, a Merkland Amos daughter. Buying this one was John Fawcett, Merkland Farm, Thornhill, Dumfries.
Next top call was a 7000gns bid for Harehead Jake, a son of Benhar Flint. This one from W A Penny is out of Harehead Skylark and sold to join Messrs Graham and Son, Craigdarroch Farm, Sanquhar.
Third best was a 6000gns sale for Benhar Jacob, a March 2007-born son of Benhar Editor and out of Luing Whisky Mac daughter Benhar Z110. This red bull was snapped up by Annandale Estates, St Anns, Lockerbie.
At 4500gns John Fawcett recouped some of his earlier outlay when he sold Merkland Jefferson to the McNees. By Dirnanean Dakota, this one is out of homebred dam Merkland Ardlarach 10, a daughter of Dirnanean Rocky out of a Luing-bred dam.
Then at 3500gns William Renwick, Clachan Farmhouse, Lochbroom, Ullapool, sold 22-month old Lochbroom Jamie. Sired by Luing Factor, Jamie is out of Westwater Maree 12 and sold to join Finlay McGowan of Incheoch Farms, Alyth, Blairgowrie. This one carries Dirnanean breeding on his dam's side and is fully Luing-bred on his sire's side.
Among the females on offer the top call was a 2500gns bid for each of the champion pair of bulling heifers from Messrs Barr, Milkieston, Peebles. This duo, Milkieston J15 and Milkieston J28 are both by Benhar Zemin and sold to Messrs Cosgrave, Newcastle, Enfield, Co Meath, Eire.
Second best female sale was a brace of 2400gns sales for the champion in-calf heifers from Robert McNee. This pair were bought by D Stanners, Knowsley Park, Merseyside.
Averages: 16 bulls £4410, 109 bulling heifers £1391, 22 in-calf heifers £1451 (Wallets Marts).

Muallem Says Ceasefire 'Real Opportunity' for Political Solution
A ceasefire soon to take effect across Syria is a "real opportunity" for a political solution to the nearly six-year war, the country's foreign minister said Thursday.
"There is a real opportunity for a political solution to the crisis to bring an end to the bloodshed," Walid Muallem told state television.
The ceasefire brokered by Russia and Turkey is due to begin at midnight (2200 GMT Thursday).

Why Must We Keep Ourselves in the Love of God?
Hi guys, and gals, just your friendly neighborhood Michael Basham here, musing during a late night between translating Chinese comics into English and studying for a Hawai'ian Real Estate exam.
I found out the Amazon Kindle has a text-aloud feature through bluetooth headphones and have been experimenting with it, finding myself going through old notes of yester-year and finally listening to a clump of forgotten MO-Letters about Heaven's Children and spirit travel. For the most part, it's very spiritually uplifting reading despite what we all know took place behind the scenes with the Children of God (not quite as bad as the new Summer horror movie "MIDSOMMER" but pedophilia is a horrible horrible nasty thing to have lurking about nonetheless).
I recalled how when I was training in missionary work around the world we were shown that every day it is important for the worker of God to be constantly filling themselves with the truth and more truth and nothing but the Truth, i.e. The Bible and good sound teaching and foundational Spirit-Filled community around This Book. The minimum. –MINIMUM was about 2 hours per day of solid feeding for your soul. This is where I felt this question bubble up inside:
Why must we "keep ourselves in the Love of God?" (Jude 1:21)
—because outside "are the habitations of cruelty." (Psalm 74:20)
In this world you have 90 million things (not exaggerating) every day, moment, or hour trying to pull you down into the dregs of its death. Enter ye in at the straight gate. For wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. (Matt 7:13)
I don't care how busy you are. If you are one of the living and active spiritual warriors in the fight today, you need to be getting a steady strong influx of truth or fellowship either physically or digitally with those who dive into the truth regularly or you'll be taken out of this war before you know it! I've seen it happen countless times. That is not the all-in-one fail safe, for there are also key integral necessities such as courage to do what is right and stand up for the truth even when others are falling away around you. But having your shields up, as they say in Star-Trek will greatly assist your being able to fend off the negative nasty that we all come into contact with in this cruel, cruel world. Let us not be overcome by evil, but overcome the world with good. Resist the Devil and he will flee from you!
Well enough from me for now. . . time to get back to translating and studying. . . don't forget to subscribe to the myriads of shows and spiritually uplifting content you can find on the Fringe Radio Network as well as at Christ-Consciousness home base with many of our friends… we love you!

Last Sunday night's Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway marked significant transition moments for several of NASCAR's better-known Cup Series drivers. It also saw an end impressive winning streaks by two of the sport's biggest names.
First, the comings and the goings…
Unless something dramatically changes, the 400 was the last career start for 2003 Cup Series champion and 2012 Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth. He was replaced at Joe Gibbs Racing after last season but returned in May to help at Roush-Fenway Racing. The Ford-based team struggled with 2011 Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne, so Kenseth signed on to coach Bayne and help R-FR's engineers sort out their No. 6 cars.
He did 15 races and spent time with engineers in the shop. He finished sixth on Sunday night after running as high as third in the latter laps, one of the car's better runs this year. He has repeatedly said he had no plans –none, zilch – to come back in 2019. He has three young daughters. and lots of catching up to do after being a full-time racer for 18 years. Roush-Fenway already had named Ryan Newman to replace what had been a Bayne/Kenseth pairing. When that happened, Richard Childress Racing named Xfinity Series star Daniel Hemrick to drive in Newman's place.
AJ Allmendinger also needs a new ride. He's been told – and it was publicly announced months ago – that young New England hotshot Ryan Preece will replace him in the No. 47 Chevrolet. It's likely that Allmendinger, who won the 2014 Watkins Glen race for JTG-Daugherty Racing, will return to sports cars. He was an outstanding IndyCar and sports car racer before running 371 NASCAR races, the first in 2007.
Jamie McMurray won in only his second Cup Series start (at Charlotte in the fall of 2002) and also has a 2010 Daytona 500 trophy and a 2010 Brickyard 400 trophy on his shelf. But he's not returning to the Chip Ganassi-owned, Chevrolet-based team that also features young star Kyle Larson. No replacement has been named to the No. 1 Chevy (former champion Kurt Busch is odds-on favorite), but Ganassi has offered McMurray an administrative job with the organization. As of the Homestead finale, McMurray remained uncertain of his plans.
If Busch indeed joins Ganassi, it seems almost certain that 2016 Xfinity Series champion and 2017 Cup Series Rookie of the Year Daniel Suarez will replace him in the No. 41 Ford at Stewart-Haas Racing. Former champion Martin Truex Jr. has lost his 2019 ride (team owner Barney Visser is shutting down) but will move to the No. 19 Toyota team that Suarez had for two mediocre seasons.
As for the streaks that ended Sunday night:
Seven-time Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson got the first of his 83 career victories in his 10th start, in the spring of 2002 at California Speedway. Until Sunday night he had won at least once every year since, reaching a high of 10 victories in 2007. But he had an awful 2018, not unlike almost every other Chevrolet driver. His stat line: 36 starts, 0 poles 0 victories, 2 top-fives, 10 top-10s, and 14th in points. No question, it was the worst showing of his 17 full seasons.
So, it came as no shock when it was announced last month that long-time crew chief Chad Knaus was leaving after Homestead to work with 2018 Cup Series Rookie of the Year William Byron, still within Hendrick Motorsports. In turn, Kevin Meendering will be Johnson's new chief as of effective Monday morning.
Denny Hamlin had won at least once every year since his rookie season of 2006. Going into Sunday night at Homestead he had 31 career victories in 469 starts. He now has 31 career victories in 470 starts, missing out on extending his streak to 13 full seasons. His stat line was decent: 4 poles, 10 top-5s, and 17 top-10s, good for 11th in points. But lacking that trip to victory lane will make this a year to forget. Appropriately, perhaps, Hamlin recently said that long-time crew chief Mike Wheeler was leaving after Homestead. No replacement has been named.

What we love about the weekend is we can rest from our office jobs, stay at home, and make time with our family and friends, do cooking or baking, or anything related to food and recipes is one of the enjoyable things to do over the weekend. Aside from the activities, the whole family can join in and help us out in making delightful treats for the weekend.
While browsing the internet to look for easy recipes to recreate and share, my partner had requested to make a "leche flan." Leche Flan, also known as Crème caramel, is a popular custard dessert in the Asia Pacific. The original Leche flan was composed of eggs, milk, and caramel syrup, however, there are many added variations to the original custard dessert.
Hence, my partner is requesting for a Lechan flan dessert, and I still want my caffeine for the weekend so we will do a custard Coffee Flan dessert,
This dessert is super simple and easy to make, and perfect to those days when you need something quick to execute.
Custard Coffee Flan Recipe
- Molder
- Mixing Bowl
- Wisker
- Steamer or double boiler will do
- foil
- 5 eggs
- 2 cups of condensed milk
- 1 tsp. of ground coffee
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- sugar
- Separate the white and yellow egg yolk. Use only the yellow yolk and set aside the white yolk because you can still use it in the future. In a large bowl or mixing bowl put in the five egg yolks, and whisk it wholly.
- After beating the egg yolk, add one cup of sweetened milk or condensed milk, a half teaspoon of ground coffee ( you can modify this to your liking if you want to have an intense coffee flavor add 1 teaspoon of ground coffee, but if the flavor is too strong adjust to your liking.), add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Using your whisker mix everything until all ingredients are dissolved.
- Next is set aside the mixture then get your molders, and fill in with one tablespoon of sugar, then caramelize the sugar by heating the molder on top of the stove, or you can also caramelize first the sugar in a saucepan before putting in the molder.
- After you made the caramel you can now put in your mixture in the molder, leave a small space in the molder to give some air while boiling.
- After filling in the molders, cover them now with foil.
- Using the double boiler, fill in with water and using the steamer put in your molders with the mixture. Wait for 45 mins to cook.
- Remove the foil, get a saucer, serve, and enjoy!

Anyone in Canada who can read should read this book by Bruce Clark. It opens up such important aspects of history and politics and justice in Canada that it should be required reading by all those in the country who can read. At least two points of focus are present in Bruce Clark's Ongoing Genocide…. Perhaps the most important is the betrayal of the Constitution and laws growing from it by the Courts in Canada and the Legal Establishment in order to impose upon the indigenous peoples an arbitrary and illicit regime that has and does lead to their deracination, alienation, social isolation, unnecessary illnesses … and very high levels of suicide. (Quite apart from robbing them of their real status in law and in the courts.)
Part One of this column, devoted to the subject, reviewed the process by which – as an unvarying constant – the judicial and legal Establishments in Canada have created an illegitimate regime of judge-made law that goes unchallenged and that contradicts the clearest Constitutional statements and – flowing from them - the precedents upon which the fabric of justice is (normally) maintained.
Part One also proposed that 'bastardized' law and adjudication are not confined to indigenous matters but are very frequently – almost as a parallel and so, perhaps, in some sort of relation – the rule of actions in the Higher Courts whenever Established Power, criminal government, and/or large Corporate Power come into contention with the Constitution (and, therefore … come into the realm of Canada's judicial and legal Establishments).
What needs also to be focussed upon is Bruce Clark himself, his struggle to gain justice for the indigenous peoples, his having been cited for Contempt of Court, imprisoned, and disbarred – and, therefore, prevented, ever again, from engaging in the practice of law.
The reason he was disbarred is simple and in perfect harmony with the large betrayal of the Constitution and laws properly growing with and from it. The assembly undertaking the adjudication of his status agreed that Clark was serious, articulate, informed, and skillful in his presentation of fact and argument. Brought against him at some point was an allegation that his unpopular opinion had been answered (already) forty times! If it had been answered even once (by, of course, a judge) a record would be available: none exists. That his position was prevented from being articulated in any way recognizable by the Court is quite another matter. Being denied the right to articulate the position for the court to consider is quite another condition.
And so – with the greatest regret of course – and only because he would not accept the fraudulent denial (and attempted erasure) of the Constitutional realities concerning the indigenous peoples … Bruce Clark was, regretfully, disbarred from the practice of law: "because of the finding that the solicitor is ungovernable" (p. 98)
His story is known by many familiar with indigenous history in Canada. It is not unknown among judges and lawyers across Canada. And yet … and yet … there is no 'movement' among bright young lawyers (or bright old judges!) to re-visit the persecution of Bruce Clark … and to seek justice in his case. 'Seeking justice' apparently has very little to do with the lives and the professional conduct of the members of the Legal and Judicial Establishments in Canada.
Unfortunately, in his description of the usurpations of the Constitutional identity of Canada's indigenous peoples, Bruce Clark cannot do anything else but point to the (knowing) participation of the Judicial and Legal Establishments in that process. Judges (and lawyers) have to know when 'judge-made law' is usurping the Constitution and Constitutionally-empowered law.
Populations (not just Canadians) respond to knowledge of serious injustices done to others with remarkable calm. History has many astonishing precedents. In the 1630s Galileo was forced by the then all-powerful Roman Catholic faith to recant his proposition that the earth moved around the sun and was not the center of the solar system (or, indeed, of the whole universe). We laugh, now, about the foolishness of power at that time … forgetting, perhaps, that Galileo was punished for life … and forced to live under continuing house arrest.
In time, perhaps, Canadians will laugh at the stupid Canadian State, the stupid judicial and legal Establishments which engaged in the destruction of Bruce Clark's career as a lawyer, permanently punishing him (like Galileo) for speaking the truth.
But for anyone with the smallest sense of fair-mindedness and a shred of belief that justice can win out in Canada, justice for Bruce Clark 'sometime in the future' is not good enough. Where is the lawyer or the judge who will begin, now, the movement to erase the astonishing injustice and indignity visited upon Bruce Clark. Surely there is one man or one woman in the legal and judicial Establishments willing and able to take on that task. Unless of course being a member of either of those Establishments absolutely rules out such a possibility….
Robin Mathews is a retired professor who taught English literature at Carleton University in Ottawa Ontario and at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver BC. He is well known for his campaign to Canadianize the faculty and curricula of Canadian universities.
Electromagnetic Press has produced a new book by Bruce Clark, scholarly expert and 'hands-on' activist in the matter of North American...

1877 Marsden
This minor planet is named after Brian Geoffrey Marsden (1937 - 2010), a British astronomer, husband of Nancy Lou Zissell Marsden. He was the director of the Minor Planet Center for a number of years, and discovered one minor planet: 37556 Svyaztie.
Marsden also has a number of consecutive minor planets acronymically named after him, spelling out "BRIAN M.":
The symbol of this minor planet is a monogram of the letters "BM" over an astronomer's star-in-circle.

Lose weight without even trying! Watch the pounds melt away! Anyone who's trying to quickly lose a few pounds might be interested trying the "next big thing" in weight loss. Seeing dramatic "before" and "after" pictures on TV, in magazines and newspapers, and online can prod anyone into trying a quick weight-loss scheme. Every year, it seems like the media finds a new diet to tout -- along with the clinics that cater to the fad and customers who swear by the results. Popular weight-loss plans in recent years include the Dukan Diet (eating lean protein and oat bran), the South Beach Diet (choosing low-carbohydrate foods), the Atkins Diet (radically reducing carbohydrates) and the Master Cleanse (adopting a liquid diet comprised mainly of lemon or lime juice).
These diets gain quickly in popularity when the media hops on board, reporting the new diet fad, the rising number of adopters and testimonials of success from satisfied, slimmed-down believers, including celebrities who've lost weight on the plans. But soon enough, reports come out warning of the dangers involved with unusual weight-loss schemes that often involve cutting out much-needed food groups, or eating only a certain food or food group. Then, follow-up stories trickle from unsatisfied customers, or from former believers who have since gained the weight back. More or less, by the time this cycle runs its course, it begins again with a new diet trend.
Diet crazes and schemes are nothing new. In the 1920s, "reducing soap" actually promised to eliminate fat on any part of the body that was washed with this miracle cleanser. From the 1920s through the 1950s, some people attempted the tapeworm diet, which didn't require much change in eating habits, other than consuming a tapeworm. The belief was that the tapeworm would helpfully join you in eating your meals, albeit from the comfort of its home -- your intestines. In the 1990s, a diet pill called Fen-Phen took the market by storm, but later it was discovered that the drug could cause heart valve problems. In response, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration took the product off the market.Today, another diet trend is back on America's radar, and it promises to help dieters lose a pound a day, or even more. It's the hCG diet, and it was developed by a doctor who believed that a hormone found in a pregnant woman's body could help overweight men and women lose weight -- and keep that weight off after returning to their normal routines.
HCG, Fat and Pregnancy
In 1927, researchers discovered that pregnant women's urine contained a substance not normally present outside of pregnancy: human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG. This represented the first modern pregnancy test, and to this day, we still check urine for signs of hCG to determine pregnancy. Doctors also look at hCG levels (among other factors) in pregnant women to assess risk of birth defect.
HCG may play many roles, but one function it performs is guaranteeing that a developing fetus receives the calories and nutrients it needs to grow, nearly independent of the daily caloric intake of the pregnant woman in those early developmental months. How does it do this?
We aren't ravenous for fatty foods for no reason. Our bodies like to maximize caloric intake in case lean times are ahead. In the case of women, excess calories tend to wind up in "problem" areas such as the hips, buttocks, abdomen and thighs. However, once pregnant, fat from these areas is released in the presence of hCG, and this fat then makes its way to the fetus. This way, if a woman doesn't consume the nutrients needed for fetal growth, her fat reserves will suffice. (Structural fat, such as that found in the face or layered beneath the entire skin, isn't affected.)
HCG is produced by a woman early in her pregnancy, and levels of hCG in the bloodstream peak at around 14 weeks. After that, levels gradually decrease. HCG's presence in a pregnant woman seems to occur in the timeframe when a woman would be least likely to know she is pregnant, and therefore least likely (especially in ancient -- and leaner -- times in human history) to be consciously trying to secure nutrients to sustain a pregnancy.
Furthermore, hCG was soon found to be gonadotrophic, meaning that it prompts genital development, and was soon used as a treatment for boys experiencing a delay in adolescence or genital development due to disorders of the pituitary gland.
It was during research in the 1930s when one doctor, A.T.W. Simeons, noticed that boys being treated with hCG for underdeveloped gonads were also able to lose excess weight by eating much less without any accompanying hunger pangs. Simeons' interest in hCG soon shifted to its potential as a diet aid, and after two decades of research, he published a paper touting its effects, and developed a dietary regimen for using the drug as a weight-loss tool.
So, how few calories is one instructed to consume on the hCG diet? You'll find out in the next section, and you may be shocked.
HCG and Weight Loss -- the Calorie Crash
Though subsequent hCG diets have tinkered with the elements, most programs hold pretty true to the original formed by Dr. Simeons.
Each round of treatment lasts a minimum of 26 days, and 23 of those days require a daily dose of hCG, either through injections or under-the-tongue drops. Treatment may last as long as 43 days (with 40 injections), unless a patient loses 34 to 40 pounds (15 to 18 kilograms) before the allotted time has passed. Patients don't receive hCG injections for the last three days of any treatment period so the hormone can cycle completely out of their bodies before they resume a normal diet. (It also takes about three days for hCG's effects to "kick in.")
Why stop after 40 days? Simeons noted that subjects seemed to develop immunity to hCG after 40 days and required a six-week break from the diet to fully resensitize to it. Simeons recommended no more than four total treatments, separated by breaks.
In addition to receiving the hormone, dieters are instructed to cut their daily intake of calories to just 500 a day, but not until after the third dose. Once the hCG is active in a dieter's body, its release of long-stored fat provides the body with the calories it needs to burn to get through a day (a day, it should be noted, without much exercise). As long as fat deposits are being released for use, the 500 daily calories being ingested is supposed to be enough to sustain the dieter without the crazy hunger pangs one would normally experience on a 500-calorie diet. Once a dieter drops the excess weight, the treatment must stop, because hCG only affects stored fat. Once that's used up, the body will quickly reject a self-imposed limit of 500 total daily calories.
Of the little food you can eat on the hCG diet, it's supposed to be high in protein and low in starches, carbohydrates and high-fat foods. Dairy, sugar and alcohol are forbidden, and if you goof up, you should spend the next 24 hours drinking water and eating six apples [source: Haupt].
Can this diet possibly be a healthy way to lose weight? Read on to find out some of the dangers of the hCG diet.
Dangers of the HCG Diet
Losing weight at the rate of a pound a day may sound tempting, but the hCG diet may pose some very serious health risks.
Taking the hCG hormone itself can cause a variety of complications that can read like the fine print in a prescription disclaimer: Users may report incidences of headaches, blood clots, restlessness, leg cramps, constipation, temporary hair thinning, depression and male breast enlargement. Also, you may feel, well, like you're pregnant -- swelling, breast tenderness and water retention, anyone? HCG can also cause a potentially life-threatening condition called ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), in which ovaries over-stimulated by hormones can swell and leak fluid into the abdomen. This can cause abdominal pain and weight gain but can lead to blood clots, kidney failure, fluid build-up in the abdomen or chest, and electrolyte imbalances.
On top of the possible complications from the hormone, severely reduced calorie diets have their own set of side effects. While the amount of calories your body needs depends on how much activity you do everyday, most adult women need between 1,800 and 2,400 calories per day, and adult men need 2,000 to 3,000 calories per day. Those trying to lose weight typically eat between 1,200 and 1,500 calories per day. At 500 calories, the hCG diet calls for only a fraction of those requirements.
When you're on an extremely reduced calorie diet such as the hCG plan, you're basically starving yourself. By allowing so few calories per day, it can be difficult to meet your daily nutritional needs. You may also experience some not-so-pleasant side effects such as fatigue, nausea, constipation and diarrhea. Your hair might start falling out. Even worse, you may develop gallstones, which could require surgery to correct.
Another problem with severely restricted calorie diets is that once you go off them and start eating a regular amount of calories, you're bound to regain some of the weight you lost.
The FDA has also received at least one report of an hCG dieter who developed a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot in the lung that can potentially be fatal [source: Haupt].
Proponents of the diet point out that the hormone hCG is natural and clearly safe for pregnant women and the fetuses they carry, and that dieters receive a much smaller dose of hCG than is found under normal conditions in pregnant women.
What does the FDA make of the hCG diet? Find out in the next section.
HCG as a Dietary Aid: What Say the FDA?
The FDA has provided its stamp of approval on the use of hCG -- as a fertility drug. In your attempts to lose weight by tricking your body with the presence of a pregnancy-related hormone, your body may turn the tables and help you get pregnant. Within five years of its discovery, hCG was already being packaged and marketed to the public as a fertility drug. (If you're a woman who doesn't want to get pregnant, you should be extra-careful if you're taking hCG.)
Aside from fertility, the FDA doesn't approve hCG use for any other reason, including weight loss. Moreover, the FDA has said that billing hCG drops, sprays and pills as homeopathic weight loss products is fraudulent and illegal [source: Hellmich]. However, lack of approval doesn't prevent hCG's use as a dietary aid. As long as you have a doctor willing to write a prescription, you can obtain hCG. With a surge in public interest in the hCG diet (owing almost entirely to a large marketing push of this dusted-off 60-year-old diet craze), there's no shortage of weight-loss clinics staffed by doctors who write such prescriptions all day long. There have been reports of people obtaining hCG (or something being passed off as hCG) on the Internet, despite the need for a prescription to obtain the drug. Such practice would bring up issues of safety and effectiveness of the doses being provided through the black market.
The hCG diet can be somewhat pricey: A consultation visit and 23- or 40-day supply of hormones and syringes could run you around $500 to more than $1,000 [sources: Hartocollis; Haupt]. Many people do a cycle of the hCG diet, eat normally for six weeks, and then follow up with one or more cycles of hCG. The hCG drops, pills and sprays range anywhere from $40 to $249 per bottle [sources: GNC MyHCGPlus].
Next, why did the hCG diet fall off the radar until recently?
The Showdown Between HCG and Placebos
While the initial study performed and published by Dr. Simeons backed his claims of the hCG diet's effectiveness, subsequent studies have produced the type of results that don't get mentioned on late-night diet-fad infomercials.
Most independent, peer-reviewed studies of the hCG diet have shown no difference in weight loss between subjects on a low-calorie diet who received hCG injections and subjects who received a placebo [source: Conis]. One study even showed that both the placebo group and the hCG group reported major hunger pangs throughout the treatment.
Regardless, once a person stops the hCG diet, he or she will have to adopt a normal and healthy lifestyle, or the weight's just coming back. Proponents of the hCG diet maintain that the purpose of the diet is to break food addictions and abnormal eating behaviors, and that the month or so of treatment allows a person to do so. In this sense, the diet hopes to achieve short-term weight loss with long-term behavioral modification.
Of course, eating well-proportioned meals is much easier when you're injecting stimulants and hunger-suppressing hormones. If you gain weight again, the doctor or clinic -- upon the follow-up visit -- may recommend you start the treatment over again. Therefore, you may just scrap real attempts to change eating habits and sign on to long-term use of chemicals without fixing the real problem: your diet and exercise habits.
A month-long course of hCG injections and crash dieting will likely help you lose weight, but perhaps what you should be asking yourself is whether or not this is the best way to permanently modify your poor eating habits.
In addition to the reliability of a new diet fad popping up to replace the one before it, there's another constant when it comes to dieting: No matter what you do, maintaining a healthy weight depends on eating right and exercising.

For the past few weeks I've heard/read several people bemoaning the fact that shops are stocking Christmas goods earlier and earlier. You only need to see a tree and tinsel in the shop window in late October and there will be a mass moan. Here's what the moaners don't understand – you cannot really blame the shops for opening earlier and earlier, it isn't really their fault. If the critics knew about non-linearities and feedback effects they would understand what is happening.
To see why shops are opening earlier, consider this simplified feedback model. Suppose we have M & S, Debenhams, John Lewis and Jarrold's in the city centre. A long time ago all four shops used to stock their Christmas goods from December 1st. One day M & S try to obtain the advantage over the other three by stocking their Christmas goods a week earlier (from November 24th). Debenhams, John Lewis and Jarrold's have three choices; they can do nothing, they can emulate M & S, or they can go one better and stock their Christmas goods earlier (say, from November 17th). If they do nothing they risk losing a week's vital Christmas trade from opportunist shoppers to M & S; if they emulate M & S then there's nothing stopping M & S doing the same again, leaving Debenhams, John Lewis and Jarrold's on the November 24th date and stocking their Christmas goods a week earlier (from November 17th). So, quite naturally in response they pick the best of the three options by stocking their Christmas goods earlier than M & S. But it doesn't stop there – what then happens is that each one of their competitors will look to outdo the other by choosing a date earlier than the others. This continues over the years – and if you obtain the statistics you would find a pattern of increased early Christmas stock to match and/or outdo the competition.
This is what happens when feedback effects occur; the shops are continually under pressure to stock their Christmas goods earlier and earlier to obtain an advantage, which is why you see all these shops beginning their Christmas trading at times that are, to many of you, premature. Their hand has been forced, lest they lose vital trade time to their competitors. The shops are subject to "feedback" effects – whereby a particular parameter x changes and via a "feedback" route the change in x causes further change in x (thus x is "feeding" back to itself). Feedback systems, depending on the kind of feedback involved, can produce varying "curves" of change when plotted on graph paper – some of which are quite chaotic.
There is a 'but' of course – if it were just down to procuring an advantage by trading earlier then M & S, Debenhams, John Lewis and Jarrold's would all begin their Christmas trading on January 1st. But, of course, it isn't like that – there is a balance to be struck, because the shelf room they take up with Christmas stock amounts to a loss of shelf space for other more saleable goods if they are displayed too premature for the festive season. The decorations, wrapping paper, cards, bumper chocolates, etc would be counter-productive stock if they were displayed in August in the hope of obtaining a festive head start on the rival shops – which is why the balance between being too early and too late in the year is of huge importance.
The other benefit to obtaining customers in the festive season is that a proportion of the shoppers will return the following year to do at least some of their Christmas shopping in the same shop. People like routine and pattern - and if they've had a good experience they are likely to want to repeat it - particularly in a city full of the mad rush of festive shoppers.

Eat well with the waffle maker
The device's powerful 1,550 watts guarantee a short preheating period and efficient preparation. You can make 6 stick waffles per baking process. The waffle batter encloses the stick during baking. The baking plates' profiling give the corn dogs their traditional shape. Whip up unique waffle creations in less than two minutes.

The waffle maker also has a timer which can be set to maximum 15 minutes. The timer only displays the operating time and has no connection to the waffle maker's electrical function. Simply set the desired time and the device will alert you with an acoustic signal when it has elapsed. This gives you optimum control over the preparation time for your waffles.

The compact design makes this professional device a truly space-saving kitchen appliance. Additionally, the four rubber feet on the base plate ensure optimal stability on nearly any work surface and prevent scratches.
The heat-insulated handles guarantee safe and comfortable operation. There are special ventilation slits in the housing which ensure additional air cooling and prevent overheating.
This model stands out for its high-quality workmanship. The heating plates are made of durable heat-conducting aluminium with a Teflon non-stick coating to prevent the waffles from sticking and to make cleaning easier. The drip tray also simplifies clean-up by preventing the batter from overflowing and keeping your workspace neat.

Review by Michał Orłowski, expondo expert (02.08.2018)
Wondering what to serve as snacks at outdoor events or garden parties with friends? How about hot dogs on a stick, waffles on a stick or corndogs? An interesting option and certainly a cool alternative to toasted sandwiches and kebabs. And certainly faster. The ability to prepare up to six hot dogs at the same time allows you to feed a large number of party guests in a very short time. The aluminium coating guarantees easy cleaning of the heating elements.
What's the best way to remove the finished waffles from the device?
Always use non-metal utensils to remove the waffles, for example silicon or wooden spatulas, which won't scratch the coating of the baking plates.
Will waffles burn during baking on this waffle iron?
You can always avoid burning your waffles thanks to the adjustable temperature settings and the non-stick coating.

Music has the power to delight, to entertain, to soothe, to uplift, and to heal. In this particularly trying time, when the world is awash in chaos and off the charts unpredictability, it provides additional magic mojo. I have a friend named Robin D. Brackbill who has been doing amazing karaoke covers of well-known songs […]
Today's theme is around relationships as I spent time on the phone speaking with friends about the roller coaster ride journey most of us are on with regard to one of the most important aspects of this human incarnation. One just ended a seven-month experience the second time around with a man and the other is in a polyamorous relationship with someone who has been in her life a brief period of time and there are issues that are troubling to her. Some friends have health issues that they are facing, others still, financial and career challenges.
All of these people are adept at summoning most of what they want in their lives. I find myself in those paradigms as well at the moment. They, like me, use the Law of Attraction to call to us our hearts' desires. Even in the midst of this, each of us bumps up against human limitation. We cast desires out into what Abraham-Hicks refers to as 'the vortex' and need to wait for them to return as if they were boomerangs. Sometimes they come back to us in the form we expect and at others, polar-opposite of what we have asked for. That's what is referred to as a WTF moment in which we are left shaking our heads asking, "Who thought this one up?" That's when I question whether it makes sense in any form. Only afterward, can I gain some perspective and understand THAT'S why that person or experience has come to me in the way they did. I still want it to be easy and flowing, especially when it feels frustrating and daunting. "Come on, God/Goddess/All That Is, can't it just be easy? I promise to do my part, now you do yours." There are times, as I view the Source as an external energy, that either gives me what I want or deprives me of my desires. When I am in that mindset, I feel limited and helpless. When I perceive myself as part of that divine force, the more control I have and know that is futile to resist what shows up since I have been complicit with its co-creation. It is also when I get feisty with the Universe, and almost demand to know why what I have asked for has not appeared as summoned. Another skill I have developed is creating in my mind, particular scenarios that play out step by step as I have seen it. With it come the cautionary thoughts that it be for the Highest Good and that all involved have free will. And, who doesn't want what they want when they want it?
My friends and I all agreed that clearly, the Divine didn't get the memo. After all, we have laid the foundation, provided the grunt work, planted the seeds, done everything we are told needed to be done and then surrendered outcome. Even so, we sometimes face what we perceive as unanswered prayers.
In my case, I find myself in existential dilemmas not always certain which way to turn. Since the cardiac event in 2014, I do live heart forward, as if each day could be my last. The quandary with that remains, 'what if it isn't?' I don't want to be irresponsible and leave a mess in my wake that someone else might need to clean up. Analytical at times and too much in my head, I ruminate over which way to turn. I ask myself if I can't just enjoy the moment, reading the book page by page without feeling compelled to read the last one and see how the story ends. I query the wisdom of my choices….if this, then that. How about all the what ifs and if only second guessing that I do? Spinning my wheels ceaselessly as if I was stuck in a snow bank. It gets exhausting.
After all this time, I am still more in question than answer mode. Maybe I'm the one who needs to re-write the memo.

There are some moves that just make sense.
Cuco Martina falls into that category, so if anyone out there predicted him moving from Southampton to Everton this summer, don't give yourself a pat on the back.
The Premier League is set to keep its only Curacao international, with Martina joining Everton on a free transfer.
He'll link up with Ronald Koeman once again and provide cover for Seamus Coleman while the Republic of Ireland international recovers from a broken leg.
Martina was first brought to England by Koeman when the Dutchman signed him from FC Twente in July 2015.
Despite never playing more than 15 games in a season under Koeman, Martina clearly impressed enough to earn another Premier League contract.
His crowning moment came against Arsenal when a stunning 30-yard drive found its way into the bottom corner, making Martina the first Curacaoan to scored in the Premier League.
This season the form of Cedric Soares meant Martina was mainly used in the Europa League and domestic cup competitions by Claude Puel.
Youngster Mason Holgate is Everton's only fit right-back at the moment, although Jonjoe Kenny has been impressing with the England Under-20s.
So by the time Coleman is back up and running Everton could have four right-backs playing for one position.
Fail to prepare and prepare to fail hey, Ronald.
Remember when Eric Dier and Shkodran Mustafi played together?

The Church Christ Builds, Pt. 5
"Pay club dues, attend meetings and events, use your professional skills to make a difference." Those are the membership expectations for the Rotary Club. To function, members must know their responsibilities and fulfill them as best they can. Without these expectations, the club would be meaningless. It's important to ensure expectations are clearly defined and communicated to members.
Are there any expectations for believers? Of course! First and foremost, they're required to repent of their sins, trust in Jesus, and be baptized (Acts 2:38). They're called to live a life of holiness and purity (1 Pet. 1:16). They're called to meet together regularly (Heb. 10:23-24) to hear God's Word preached (2 Tim. 4:2) and to care for one another in their walk with Christ (1 Cor. 12:25). What if someone said they wanted to follow Jesus, but refused to do any of those things? It would be a contradiction, because following Jesus entails obedience to his word (1 John 2:3-6). Christ purchased the church and gives it clear expectations for living. Membership is the answer to the question: "Who is willing to live aligned with these expectations?"
The term "church membership" isn't in the Bible, but the concept is everywhere. Christians are members of one another because we're all members of Christ's body (Rom. 12:15). The Christians in Corinth understood some people were "inside" the church and some were "outside" (1 Cor. 5:12-13). Even the act of excommunication Jesus teaches in Matthew 18:15-18 presupposes membership, because someone can't be excluded from something they aren't a member of.
The church has the responsibility to protect the gospel (1 Tim. 3:15) by making sure the people who claim to believe it are legitimate. A church filled with false converts distorts the gospel. That's why Paul speaks of removing people from the church when they continually and unrepentantly demonstrate unwillingness to obey Jesus (1 Tim. 1:19-20, Titus 3:10). The church is supposed to love, lead, and feed its members, and remove unrepentant imposters who threaten the health of the church. Without membership, there is no knowing who's who.
Lastly, and perhaps most persuasively, Hebrews 13:17 tells Christians to obey and submit to their leaders because they're going to give an account for the souls of their flock. Without some sort of membership, it's impossible for leaders to know who they're responsible for! Similarly, Christians are expected to obey and submit to specific leaders. Every Christian ought to have clearly designated leaders they can recognize and who recognize them. Membership allows this.
In coming weeks we'll be talking a lot about why membership matters because the church matters, the gospel matters, and because the mission matters.

Andy Slavitt at HIMSS15: 'Modernize the healthcare infrastructure'
Speaking at HIMSS15 on Thursday, Andy Slavitt, acting administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, said providers will need to evolve in order to benefit from value-based reimbursement, and "will need technology to help them get there."
Slavitt spent more than two decades in the private sector: he had leadership roles at Optum and OptumInsight; he was founder and CEO of HealthAllies; he did stints at McKinsey & Company and Goldman Sachs.
But this was first visit to HIMSS since he joined CMS in 2014 as principal deputy administrator, he said.
It wasn't long after arriving in Washington that it was driven home to him how the many changes coming to the U.S. healthcare industry – "exchanges, ACOs, delivery system reform, Medicaid expansion" – were all "entering a distinctive operational stage," Slavitt told the keynote audience.
"It became clear that what was beginning to matter most was implementation: how to take policy and implement it in a way that will bring maximum value."
There was enormous opportunity, he said, "but only one catch: Washington."
Slavitt's career "has been spent figuring out how to do things in the private sector: Wall Street, VC firms, startups, corporate boardrooms. But I knew enough to know that Washington is a special kind of place. I got plenty of warnings."
Nonetheless, he said, "a few months in, and I can report that I love this job: I've never faced a larger and more interesting agenda."
As he rolls up his sleeves to help lead this wholesale change to our sprawling healthcare industry, he keeps two questions, in mind.
First: "Who is our customer?"
Some 140 million beneficiaries and consumers rely on CMS every day, said Slavitt.
"We need to understand who these people are. It's the Medicare patient who seeks care in a community hospital; it's they young Marketplace customer, looking for options; it's the woman who's just made the difficult decision to put her mother in a nursing home and wants to find the best quality; it's the cancer patient who's decided he wants to be taken care of at home; it's the family with a severely disabled child on Medicaid that requires 24 hour care, and are watching every dollar."
The second question: "Who is our boss?"
The answer to that is simple: "our shareholders: the taxpayers," said Slavitt.
"The average American family invests thousands of dollars a year in CMS programs; they expect us to get value for what we spend," he said. They expect the agency to "make sure that the Marketplace, Medicare and Medicaid thrive – not only today but in the future when they need the programs."
Thankfully, we're getting closer each day to a "delivery system that delivers better care, smarter spending and keeps people healthy," he said,
Slavitt pointed to some early successes in the first five years since the Affordable Care Act. The number of uninsured Americans is down from more than 20 percent to less than 13 percent. We've reduced patient harm in hospitals by 17 percent. Healthcare inflation is at its lowest rate in years, and now growing slower than per capita GDP.
"Using the tools of the ACA we're making real gains," he said.
But there's still much more to do.
"More providers and more communities will need to be able to transform the care they provide so they will benefit from value-based reimbursement," said Slavitt. "And they will need technology to help them get there."
Over the next few years, "technology will need to be able to accomplish three key things," he said.
First, "care providers and patients should begin to feel the benefit of all this investment in technology." He called it a "care dividend." Taxpayers have poured billions into technology adoption, and now "what matters is whether it will give providers more time and better ability to give care to their patients."
Second, "we have a great need for a more modern infrastructure for healthcare," said Slavitt. "We need a Moore's Law effect in healthcare productivity if we're going to care for our dual eligible patients and our aging baby boomers. We need the healthcare system to adapt and to learn and we need technology to do that."
Toward that end, "I think we could do with a little less innovation on shareable and wearable, and instead a little more focus on the enormous opportunity there is to modernize the healthcare infrastructure," he added. "Aging technology is weighing us down.
The third area is one "where I have greatest concerns," said Slavitt. "Interoperability."
By example, he spoke of one hospital he'd visited recently that had a top-notch electronic health record and terrific analytics capabilities. But "their physicians can't follow patients who leave their care to see specialists or go to (another) hospital," he said.
"To be clear: This won't be acceptable to patients," said Slavitt. "It will not be acceptable to care providers, it's not acceptable to taxpayers and it's not acceptable to us."

Check out this amazing compilation of the most skillful truck drivers ever! All of them are pretty impressive, however the unloading move of the first one is something that requires a lot of experience and skills has been practiced for a long time before it was filmed. The first truck is totally how you deliver things and this is a dream of every warehouse owner. They all need a driver who can do this with all ten pallets 🙂
That second truck driver is not that skillful. That move looks pretty easy to do if you have chains to lock the tailgate. Do you think so?
Anyway, we should all take driving lessons from these guys and maybe we will need more than 5 years to practice to make any of these tricks. This video is full of awesome trucking tips and tutorials on how you should speed up on deliveries, how to speed up on unloading sand from the truck, how to park your truck in reverse, how to unload a full truck of wood or a car in less than 5 seconds…
So, please check out this amazing video with the most skillful truck drivers and tell us what do you think in the comment section below. Also, please share this video with your friends and family on Facebook and other social media.

Hatfield House Wedding Photography
Mrs & Mrs Jones tied the knot last Thursday at Hatfield House, A stunning place to get married. I would recommend anyone looking to get married around Hertfordshire to check out this wonderful and historical wedding venue! It's outstanding for wedding photographs.
Sonia & David are an extremely kind hearted couple, Both Max and I could tell that their love for one another was unconditional and when hearing the challenging moments they have concurred together our thoughts were confirmed. The wedding was filled with emotion and the 27th of July became a rather moving day. A delightful choir belted joyful songs during the ceremony which is something you don't see very often but it really does create a joyful atmosphere. Sonia & David, enjoy your new life together.
Max and I are so pleased that we can give you these images as a long lasting memory of your wedding day!

People around the world have developed an increased understanding and awareness about the foods and beverages they consume. The foods we eat play an important role in our health, and to address this newfound awareness, the food and beverage industry has responded with natural alternatives. Natural foods can be found in retail establishments, grocery stores, and prepackaged food items, but one of the most exciting trends is in the restaurant industry. So-called "clean" foods are now being showcased in restaurants throughout the United States.
Trends in Natural Foods
The phrase "clean foods" has popped up in consumer jargon in recent years, and there exists some confusion about what it means. In general, clean foods refers to foods that are free from harmful pesticides, preservatives, and artificial ingredients. Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are also forbidden in the clean food model. Clean foods are often sourced sustainably from local farmers, and many are from organic farming practices, which must be certified to be free of chemical pesticides and fertilizers to carry the organic label.
Clean foods are an extension of farm-to-table practices, which seek to source food ingredients from local sources. The goal behind these practices are to support local farming efforts, many of which use more healthful farming practices than giant corporate agriculture operations. Whole foods, or those that are minimally-processed and retain the nutrients, fibers, and antioxidants their ingredients naturally contain, have also influenced the food and beverage industry. While these terms and practices may be met with skepticism by many, consumers are demanding natural foods that don't contain artificial chemicals.
Restaurants Adopting Natural Whole Foods
In 2016, restaurant and bakery chain Panera announced that going forward, 100% of its foods would be 100% clean. The restaurant vowed to eliminate artificial preservatives, colors, flavorings, and sweeteners from all of its products, and the campaign was considered a success by the company and its fans.
In the restaurant field, farm-to-table restaurants flooded the market. These restaurants are typically found on a local or regional level, and no nationwide chain has adopted this model. One of the local restaurants gaining a lot of attention is the Mason Jar Café, a popular natural foods restaurant in Benton Harbor, Michigan. Located in the downtown area and in operation for four years, the café specializes in foods prepared to support and sustain healthy lifestyle choices. The restaurant purchases most of its ingredients from local organic farmers, and uses as few processed ingredients in the production of meals as possible. Some canned or boxed foods may be incorporated into the menu, but only after meeting stringent requirements imposed by the restaurant staff. Many of the items on the menu are gluten-free or vegan, helping those with food sensitivities. Superfoods, or those natural ingredients that pack natural vitamins and antioxidants, are prominently featured in many of the menu choices.
The restaurant's focus on healthful foods stems from the co-owner's diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Jayme Cousins, along with her husband, Abel Abarca Martinez, set out to treat her illness with natural foods and natural remedies. The menu at the Mason Jar Café is an extension of those goals. Customers of the restaurant indicate that the foods available from the café have transformed their lives, promoting health and function in ways that traditional medicine has failed to do.
The Mason Jar Café is only one of dozens of similar restaurant stories in the United States, and as consumers continue to evaluate the foods they ingest, natural and whole foods will form the centerpoint of healthy eating habits.

Maybe its me but I am noticing every time I go to the grocery store I am spending 150.00 and I mean every week. I go to COSTCO and buy in bulk and food saver food and have the freezer full of main dish staples for future meals, so when I go to the grocery store it is the break, milk, juice, fresh veggies and etc. items I am picking up. Its not like I am buying steak or prepared frozen foods.How many people are you feeding? I feed 3 people, although DD generally only has breakfast home, so she doesn't eat that much, and I spend between $50 and $75 per week. I typically am just buying fresh produce to make my lunch salads for the week, fresh vegetables, milk and such. For meat, I tend to buy that when it is on sale and freeze it.We eat very well, so I am at a loss as to what you are buying that could possibly be costing that much.Do you cook everything from scratch? Are you buying the pricier organic items or all name-brands vs. generic? Do you shop at the more expensive chain rather than the less expensive store? In my area, I can save at least 30% off my grocery bill just by shopping at Market Basket vs. Stop and Shop, and I'm buying exactly the same things.

So, all my favorite bloggers/reviewers loved this one. And because I work in a bookstore, I found out when it would be in paperback, and decided to wait till then to buy it. Well, it's in paper back now, but once I finished it I knew I would need the sequel (even though that won't be in paperback for a long time). I'm already into book 2…And I just found this book to be so much fun.
There was nothing too new or shocking about the story, but it was just so well put together. It's about Clarity or Clare and her ability to touch an object and see, hear, and feel the emotions someone was feeling in the past while touching that same object. What is different here is that this ability isn't something Clare just comes into all of a sudden and has to hide from everyone. Her whole family has "abilities" of some kind and they make money by doing readings for the tourists who come to their Cape Cod town. The whole town knows what she can do. And she is rather ostracized for it, but at least she's not hiding.
It's just not in Clare to hide. She's the kind of girl who dumps a cup of soda on another girl's head when she's being picked on. She's also the kind of girl to volunteer to help solve a murder in her town, even when it involves working for an ex-boyfriend she's trying to get over. When a tourist is found dead and evidence is scarce, the town puts Clare (and her ability) along with a private detective and his son on the case.
There's a love triangle between Clare, the ex-boyfriend, and the detective's son. There's a lot of dark humor about family and psychics and competition. There's the teens that are being murdered off. Oh, and Clare keeps getting more and more evidence that her brother might be involved in the murder of the first girl, but she just can't see him murdering anyone. There's talking to ghosts, mind reading, sensing the past from objects, possible future-reading, parties, murder investigations, steamy kisses, and just the right amount of suspense.
What really made the book so good though was Clare. She was so sarcastic and strong. I loved how she stood up for herself and her family. She wouldn't let anyone put her down, especially those who believed her to be fake. There's some healthy competition between Clare's family and a new psychic in town. And I found that made everything so entertaining. The relationships Clare had with her brother, her ex-boyfriend, and the people around town just felt so real and believable. And she had just the right amount of loneliness and need to be accepted to make her authentic!
I look forward to more books by this author, and I am already enjoying the sequel. I'll let you know what I think of it soon! It gets a 9/10 from me.

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
My husband and I recently watched the Big Little Lies miniseries on HBO (soooo good) and I'm kind of now obsessed with flared pants after seeing Laura Dern's "CEO unwinding in jeans" look several times. These burgundy paneled pants look nice enough for the office (as they should be at $720) but also fun with a sexy top for evening or weekend. Burgundy/red pants are undeniably hard to match, as several people noted in last week's thread on what color shoes to wear with different colors of pants — I've worn black, brown, navy, gray, and purple with red, for my $.02. For these dark burgundy pants I'd probably go with a dark gray or black, but that's me. Victoria Paneled Pants
Here's a similar option in plus sizes for $20.

I have been actively looking for formal sector employment for the last two months. In the process, and with my background as NLP practitioner and life coach, I am sharing some insights in the process, and how to keep going even when you feel like giving up.
#1 – Create a system, with a daily goal
Apply for 3 jobs a day. Or ten, if you are really serious. Check search engines / alerts every day, or rotate between them on different days – engines A and B on Monday, C and D on Tuesday, etc. Why?
When you have small, daily goals in this job search, you will be able to keep going for much longer, as you are reaching your daily goals. If you have only one goal, namely, to land a job, you might get disheartened after week 3 (or month 3) if you still have not landed anything.
Instead, focus on that daily goal. Make yourself a star chart, and have a celebratory cup of coffee for reaching that goal, daily. And keep going. And going. And going.
Tweak your CV along the way. Widen your search. Drop back a seniority level. Lower your required salary. But keep on applying. Try a different city, or country, if you are up to it. Spread that net wide.
Just keep going, reaching that daily goal of 3 job applications a day.
#2 – Have multiple versions of your CV
Why? Surely your experience is your experience? No, I am not mad. I am not suggesting you lie to prospective employers. I am suggesting that you rewrite your CV to be tailored to the job you are applying for.
For example, in my career, I have been a project manager, programme manager and general IT manager. I will have a version of my CV tailored towards project management opportunities, that stresses how my experience in all other job categories counts towards project management. When I was a general IT manager, I also lead two initiatives to upgrade infrastructure and applications. In the project manager version of my CV, that is what I will give more detail about, instead of stressing the general IT management part. Make sense?
Do the same for your covering letter. Use the appropriate version for the job your are applying for.
#3 – Search on multiple job search engines
When you are earnestly looking for a job, look across each and every search engine you can find for job opportunities. If a search engine directs you to a company's website, and you like that company, set up alerts from the company's site as well. In this way your net continues spreading wider and wider. And your opportunities come from more and more places.
Set up alerts for new jobs being advertised, to make it easy to check what has come in each day.
#4 – Tailor make your covering letter for each and every application
Does this sound like a lot of work? Yes, it is. But it also shows that you are serious about the search, and serious about this job. Because you tailor make your covering note for the specific role, using the things they ask for, and sort of answer those specific requirements.
If they are asking for someone with 15+ years of experience, make sure you mention that you have that. If they ask for someone with experience in Java programming, mention that you have done a Java course and have experimented with it in your private time, even if you never used it formally (this of course needs to be true, or you will be caught out). If they ask for someone with great communication skills, mention that award you got for exceptional communication on your last project.
Take the time and tailor make that covering letter. It will pay off in the end.
#5 – Seek wider than your last job or your ideal job
Things change fast in this world we live in. Team leaders are suddenly called scrum masters, or commodores. Project management is no longer the flavor of the month, Agile delivery is. The job still remains fairly similar, but the methodology, jargon and tools have changed. This is not only in the IT world.
How does being aware of the jargon in your industry, and tailoring your CV to those new names, benefit you? You will stand a better chance to be picked up by the filtering engines that scan and evaluate applications before any human eyes fall on them. Again, do not lie, but if you now have a qualification in Agile, make sure you mention that. And change your title for that last project you delivered using Agile, to scrum master or Agile project manager. The filtering engines will notice.
#5a – Because there is more
Eventually the first nibbles will come – an interview or two. Or four. Or ten.
We have all been there – job searching is tough. Now you can really celebrate. Open a bottle of wine, go out for a meal, take a day off from applying. Celebrate, that you have reached the next step in the process!
Hopefully, you will have used the waiting time to work up great answers to those lame interview questions that trip us all every time. Prepare for the interview. Go out, and you ace it!
You might circle back to carrying on applying, and a couple more interviews. Buff up that interview technique, by working up answers you can use for interview questions. Tweak your interview outfit – go more formal. Go less formal. Take printed copies of your CV and qualifications with. Do not ask about benefits or salary in the first interview.
Keep going, both with applying and with practicing interviewing. At some point, you will be a fit with a specific job and a specific company.
Eventually, you will get the offer you wanted. ffffffff

World War 3: Iran 'SLAMS' Donald Trump as 'untrustworthy' as Middle East tensions SOAR
IRAN has blasted Donald Trump as "untrustworthy" as tensions in the Middle East continue to soar following the US' withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said the Republican firebrand's move was "adopted to break Iran's resistance".
He explained: "Today, we are again witnessing that the US untrustworthiness has been proved.
"The US measure has been adopted to break Iran's resistance and it is not a new thing and we have been for years witnessing the enemies' evil intentions, therefore, we should rely on ourselves."
The Major General added the European Union is "unable to make choice independent from the US" as he insisted Tehran will pursue "development only through domestic capabilities".
He went on: "Europeans, are unable to make choices independent from the US; the JCPOA's future is clear; Iran will achieve development only through domestic capabilities.
"Once again Americans proved they are unreliable and do not live up to their promises."
Mr Jafari admitted that before the "Islamic Revolution" Iran depended on the United States, however he said the country now relies on "domestic military equipment" and "missile power".
He added: "Before the Islamic Revolution, Iran's military might depended on the United States, however, after the Islamic Revolution, our power shifted to relying on the efficient manpower and domestic military equipment, specially missile power."
Iran has blasted Donald Trump as 'untrustworthy' as tensions in the Middle East continue to soar
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani earlier blasted Mr Trump for launching a "psychological war against Iran" by leaving the nuclear agreement as World War 3 fears skyrocketed.
He commented: "Trump's decision was the beginning of a psychological war against Iran, our heroic people will not be affected by this psychological attack."
Although Donald Trump has removed the US from the JCPOA, other European nations have pledged to uphold the deal in a desperate effort to calm tensions in the Middle East and relieve World War 3 fears.
However, the Republican firebrand could threaten European companies with trade sanctions if they continue to deal with Tehran.
Ali Jafari said the Republican firebrand's move was 'adopted to break Iran's resistance'
The billionaire made it clear the UK and other nations could be punished for upholding the "decaying and rotten" agreement.
He stated: "Any nation that helps Iran in its quest for nuclear weapons could also be strongly sanctioned by the United States.
"We will be instituting the highest level of economic sanctions."
Hassan Rouhani blasted Mr Trump for launching a 'psychological war against Iran'
The President's national security advisor, John Bolton, also emphasised that other nations across the globe could be punished for upholding the JCPOA in a recent interview.
He remarked: "It's possible.
"It depends on the conduct of other governments."

Situated less than three hours from my hometown of Pensacola, New Orleans is a city I've had a close relationship with for more than a decade—since I could legally drive a car. And in the years following high school, I've spent some monumental moments in this city.
New Orleans is the first (and only) place my car has been towed. It's where I've seen some of my favorite musical acts, between intimate venues and festival settings. It's where I became an adult, that is, I spent my 18th birthday here watching the Faint and Bright Eyes perform. It's where I saw Sufjan (the man) Stevens up so closely that I presented him with a personal note (creepy? maybe). It's the location of impromptu day trips taken with my mom, and friends. And it's even where I [unintentionally] was with my roommates the moment the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl five years ago.
This photo was taken just after we stepped outside onto Bourbon Street, minutes after we watched the Saints win the Super Bowl, on a big screen inside the confines of One Eyed Jacks. I've never seen an entire city erupt like this and I wouldn't trade being there in this moment of chaos for anything.
With so many memories attached to this city, it's no wonder I was eager to experience it from a street-level perspective (running). And so, at the beginning of 2012, I jumped on the opportunity to run the New Orleans Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon for the first time. I was back for round two the following year, in 2013. Unfortunately, timing didn't pan out last year, since I had literally just quit my job, wasn't quite trained, and the race fell on the same weekend as a 15K at home in Pensacola, so I opted for that instead. However, for the past year, I've been eager to make a NOLA race comeback. Granted the drive was much longer this time coming all the way from St. Augustine, I wasn't going to miss it. Thankfully Andrew wanted to join, so we made an extended venture out of it.
In my last post, "Run Happy, Run NOLA," I elaborated on the race itself and the moments leading up to the start line. I also noted there to be much more to our trip. With that, here are some of the sights and tastes we experienced, beyond the race.

Often times developers will log exceptions. Which in itself is a good thing. However, they generally only log the Message property, which can and often times is useless. My solution is the method below.
/// <summary> /// Gets the exception details and formats them in a pretty string. /// </summary> /// <param name="exception">The exception.</param> /// <returns></returns> private static string GetExceptionDetails(Exception exception) { var properties = exception.GetType() .GetProperties(); var fields = properties .Select(property => new { Name = property.Name, Value = property.GetValue(exception, null) }) .Select(x => String.Format( "{0} = {1}", x.Name, x.Value != null ? x.Value.ToString() : String.Empty )); return String.Join("n", fields); } }
This is a simple bit of reflection code that writes out each of the properties and values of an exception to a string, and then returns that string. With a little bit of re-factoring I have in certain occasions used this code to recursively write out exception information, including the inner exceptions. Please feel free to use/modify/include this code with your applications, and hope it makes life easier for the next developer who comes along.
