Sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective. Case in point, when Talent Tech Labs* wanted to hire two paid interns, they tried posting the positions on a number of job boards with disappointing results. Frustrated by the lack of response, they asked College Recruiter for a recommendation.
Simple but Effective
Because Talent Tech Labs wanted to hire two students or recent graduates, versus dozens or hundreds of candidates, our team suggested using a $75, 30-day job posting ad. As part of our standard implementation, the posting included their logo and YouTube video at no additional cost. Studies show that the quantity and quality of candidate responses greatly increase when employers include at least one of these elements in their postings.
According to Jonathon Kestenbaum, Managing Director of Talent Tech Labs, "Although we posted the same job on a bunch of job boards, half of all the applicants we received and both hires came from College Recruiter. We couldn't have been more pleased with the results."
Targeting Makes the Difference
We attribute this success to the fact that College Recruiter's audience is exclusively college students and recent graduates. By targeting the right candidates, employers can maximize their budgets, while improving response.
Because we work with companies of all sizes, we know that the recruiting needs of every organization is unique. Not every employer has the resources to use multiple recruiting tools and plaster their job postings on every available job board. That's why our targeted approach is more effective for small- to mid-sized companies. We've found that many smaller employers are looking for candidates that have recently graduated and trying to find their first or second job or students seeking internships, which is our sweet spot!
And because our online job posting process is fully automated, it's quick and easy. In other words, you don't need an entire human resources team to get the job filled.
Making Great Connections
Of course, we offer more than simple job postings. College Recruiter believes that every student and recent graduate deserves a great part-time, seasonal, internship or entry-level job, which is why our interactive media solutions, including job postings, are designed specifically to make great connections between college students or recent grads and employers.
"We view every client, big or small, as a valuable partner," noted Faith Rothberg, Chief Executive Officer, College Recruiter. "Whether you want the value and ease of online postings, or customized, interactive solutions, we believe in creating a great candidate and recruiter experience and we're passionate about customer service. That's why we go the extra mile to offer free company logo placement and YouTube videos with our online job postings, while many other job boards charge extra."

The quality of your job posting has a direct impact on how many applicants you will receive. If you need to hire for dozens, hundreds or even thousands of entry-level positions, we've got some tips to give your job posting the kick in the pants it needs to attract more top talent.
Over the years at College Recruiter, we've heard tons of feedback from our employer customers and other job boards on the effectiveness of a wide variety of job postings. Some postings generate way more views and applications than others, and unfortunately, few employers take full advantage of these tips to stand out to the right entry-level candidates. In this guide, we address your job title, whether to include salary, video, talking about your culture, and more.

hire college students and grads at scale.
For example, the title of your job posting is critical. Candidates very well may know some of the industry jargon, but you have to think like a job seeker. Give your posting a title that will be searched for. Instead of titling it "SD IV," use the title Software Developer and drop the internal lingo.
Your job posting is an advertisement. Nothing more and nothing less. You want it to generate interest in the position, so there is no reason to use the full job description, which is more of a legal document than a sales document.

The guide touches on what will specifically attract Gen Z talent to your posting. If you understand what they seek in a job and a career, such as stability and growth, your job posting can speak to that. This younger generation of talent wants to work at organizations that make a positive impact or have a strong sense of purpose. If that's your organization, your job posting should reflect that.
For years, I've been hearing employers talk about the importance of hiring a diverse workforce. Probably my first encounter with a formalized approach to attain this goal was way back in 1989 when I worked for Honeywell as a student. Down the hall from my department was our Office of Affirmative Action. Typical for that era, the reason for the existence of the office was far more about compliance than furthering any other business objective.
Now let's flash forward a couple of decades. Not only were the names of these offices changing to include words like diversity but so were the objectives. Some of the world's largest and most respected employers of college and university students and recent graduates were diversifying their candidate pools. They weren't doing it just for compliance. More importantly, they were seeing data showing that more diverse workforces were more productive workforces. (more…)
If your employer is like the vast majority, you try to keep your candidates in the dark about salary range until you're ready to discuss it. This is not the best recruiting solution that results in top talent. It is a disservice to both you and the candidate, so we are providing tips for recruiters to prepare proactively for these conversations with candidates. (more…)
When writing job postings, you're always trying to attract the best candidates for the job. You want to make sure whomever you hire is about as close to perfect as you can get.
The only way to hire great people is to attract those same great people to apply. This is easier said than done. Most of the best candidates are working for other companies and not sitting around applying for jobs all day. Your job ad not only has to get them to apply, it has to get their attention in the first place.
The good news, as you may have read at College Recruiter, is that although they're not sitting around all day applying for jobs, 73% of current employees don't mind looking for a new job while they're still employed. Most of these people are young people, suggesting that they're looking for something better.
Keep this willingness to find new work at the forefront of your job description, and you'll have more luck. Think about what your company can offer that other jobs can't. Here are a few other things you can do that will help.
Many employers will approach a job ad like they're doing someone a favor. While this might be true of regular out-of-work job seekers, it's not true if you're looking for the right people. Employers often have a hard time finding these people. If you approach this process with a me-first attitude, you'll be missing out.
Create a job advertisement like a sales pitch. Approach it like you do selling your product or service. Maybe even talk to your marketing team to see what they can come up with. You want people to see your ad and to act on it. It needs to be enticing, solve pain points, and have a clear call to action.
Don't just put up a bullet point list of duties and qualifications. Bullet points are easy to read; you just want to make sure they say something of value. If you're just listing things, there's nothing enticing about that. You're asking people to uproot their lives, leave a solid paying job, and work for you. You must be convincing.
Most companies know they need to create great content in order to get that content viewed by other people – why not put those tips to work with your job ad?
It's not just about salary anymore. It's about the company itself. What does the company stand for? Are the hours flexible? What kind of perks exist? You'll want to outline these in the ad. Talking about your company is key to getting someone to quit an existing job and work for you.
People want to feel a connection with the company they work for. They don't want to feel like a mindless drone. Work doesn't always have to be fun, but if you have to do, wouldn't you choose the place that most fit your lifestyle?
If you're looking to attract creative individuals, you'll need to give them an environment they can thrive in. Ensure the company culture is built around this, illustrate it in your job ad, and you shouldn't have a problem.
The job description is the meat of job postings/job ads. You'll want to do your best to make the title and description stand out.
Finding the right candidate is all about attracting the right applicants. Be bold with your job ad. Be truthful. Don't worry about scaring people away. They won't be the right ones for you anyway.
If your job ad reflects your company personality, you'll have much better luck at finding the right people that will fit in.
Do you need help filling part-time jobs, internships, or entry-level job openings within your company or organization? College Recruiter can help. We offer a variety of advertising solutions for employers and talent acquisition professionals.

Career services matters, Dr. Steven Lindner states, because career services is the avenue for sharing information about job postings with college students on campus. Career services professionals allow employers to access students' resumes and to participate in career fairs. Career services professionals make employers aware of student organizations and opportunities for sponsoring events held by organizations; for employers, these can be affordable, unique branding and marketing opportunities.
Dr. Steven Lindner shares two specific tips from The WorkPlace Group with employers.
1. Invite college students to visit your organization to conduct a site visit.
Let them experience your company culture and work environment. While conducting the tour of your company headquarters, introduce college students to current interns and recent graduates you've hired who are thriving within your organization. Explain your targeted candidate profile and success profile. Keep in mind that students who visit will likely share their experience with other students on campus; try to ensure that students return to campus sharing positive information about your organization.
2. Be persistent when interacting with career services professionals.
Remember that career services professionals are incredibly busy and are interacting not only with college students on campus but also with all the employers vying for their attention and assistance. One of the best times to reach out to career services professionals is during the summer months before students return to campus in the fall.

Do you imagine yourself with your own business or want to improve your skills? The best way to become a shark in any industry or business is to gain experience through a summer internship with top world companies and organizations.
Internships in Europe or USA's top companies can help you to get skills you never had before. After the program, you will return to your home country with a backpack full of knowledge and skills.

This fellowship provides a $5000 grant to one intern at each U.S. embassy abroad. Start with interning at the U.S. Department of State, and you will have a chance to land the Fellowship. But don't be upset if you didn't get the grant; interning at the Embassy could give you a perfect ability to start your international career and gain positive experience in your field. This is not just an ability to work at the embassy; it's a chance to become a part of something really important.

Another week without attention paid to your resume. You are applying for jobs that match your education and skills; you have a nicely formatted document; and you have outlined your work experience very well with bolded headings and bullet points like you were told to do. You're qualified but just can't manage to get that call for an interview. Could there be that many people more qualified than you? Maybe not. There may be some flaws in your resume you have not realized.
Here are 20 tips that can improve your resume.
Make sure you are emphasizing results, not responsibilities
It's a common error; job seekers are trying very hard to list all of their responsibilities for each position. Their thinking, of course, is the more responsibilities, the more qualified they will be. What is more important to employers is the results, what job seekers have actually accomplished.
Take a look at the responsibilities you have listed for each position. Can you list any quantifiable results? Did your re-organization save the department $50,000 a year? Sometimes, you may think results will be hard to provide. For example, perhaps you took over a department that had no baseline data to work with to show improvement. And maybe the improvement was qualitative rather than quantitative. Take employee morale, for instance. You know you improved it when you took over that department. But how was the improvement measured? Maybe there was much lower turnover or maybe the rate of absenteeism dropped significantly. These are important figures to have. Never leave a position without gathering figures that support your results.
A lot of space was spent on this item. Why? Because it is the one thing employers say is usually missing from a resume.
Target skills/background for each position
This is the primary reason why you need to tweak each resume for every job opening. If you have background in training, administration, HR, and sales/sales management, and are applying for jobs that focus on one of those, then focus your resume in that direction. Spend far more space on that focus area than on others. Generic resumes don't really work anymore.
Re-visit keywords for each position
Change out your keywords based upon two things: the job description and the company's website. Sometimes, reading through the company's home page and the "about us" page will give you more keywords to include. And keywords that relate to the position should be placed as close to the top of the resume as possible and included in your cover letter.
Include a summary section
A statement of your career goals at the beginning of your resume is not advisable. Companies don't care about your goals; they care about what you "bring to the table." Switch that out for a short summary of your skills and experience that relate to the position, with four to five sentences only.
Use standard software
Microsoft Word or a PDF version of your resume should be the only programs used to submit resumes. Scanning will probably not recognize any other programs, and you will never know your resume was unreadable.
Aim for one page
Edit, edit, edit. Take out anything superfluous, reduce sentences to phrases, and remove some of your contact information. Employers don't need your address and don't include references unless specifically asked to do so. If you are able to edit the resume to one page, that is ideal. But NEVER go beyond two pages unless you are preparing a CV.
Do not lie
Not about anything. Of course, you want to try to avoid resume mistakes, and of course you want to present yourself in the best light. Exaggerating or giving yourself a job title you did not actually have are big risks. These things can be discovered when references and/or social media are reviewed. Focus on your skills and qualifications completely but honestly.
Use action verbs
They are so much stronger. If you don't know the difference, here is an example:
1. Responsible for implementing budget reduction by 10% without loss of productivity
2. Reduced budget by 10% without loss of productivity
The second phrase is strong and active. (P.S.: Never use "I")
Visual appeal is a must
You've seen enough resume templates to understand what visual appeal is. The best font now is probably Arial, 12-14 point. The reason for this is there's good, natural spacing between lines that are not complete and enough white space between bulleted points. Your final resume should have sub-headings in bold (e.g., each position), and a larger font to separate sections of the document. The goal is to make it scannable, not just by a computer program (applicant tracking systems), but by humans, too. No one wants to search for your information.
Be clear about job titles
So long as you are not exaggerating, use a job title that will make clear what you did at a previous organization. Sometimes, organizations have internal titles that mean nothing on the outside. So, if you were a "Level II Tech Support," change that out to "Systems Analyst," if that was what your position really entailed.
Be really brief
Do not use full sentences unless you are crafting a CV (These are prose documents). Brief phrases only, please. Remember – scannable.
Perfect grammar and spelling
Don't rely only on grammar and spell-check programs. They will not recognize incorrect numbers or words that are wrong but are still words. And, in some instances misspellings will not be caught either. If you are really good in this area, read your resume backwards, and you will catch misspellings; read it forward line-by-line. If you are not highly skilled, get someone who is.
Avoid gimmicks
Having your resume hand-delivered by FedEx or courier is not appreciated, and, in fact, is a bit of a turnoff. Just don't do it. Submit your resume according to the instructions on the job posting.
Graphics should fit the company culture
It is more acceptable today to use some color and graphics than in the past, but these resumes are best suited for younger, more progressive organizations. Tailor color and graphics based upon the culture of the company. If you are not sure, check the website. As a general rule, banks, financial, and educational/scientific institutions are conservative; tech and marketing companies are more progressive. For creative positions, graphics are certainly suitable.
Never state salary
Never include past salaries in your work experience. And absolutely never include your salary or benefit requirements for a new position. Epic fail if you do.
Don't address negatives
If you were fired or laid off, never state this in your resume. That is the stuff for discussion during an interview. And don't lie about it either; be as honest as possible, and never "trash" a former boss or company.
Add links
Long before submitting resumes, it will be important to have a professional online presence. Include the link to your LinkedIn profile and, if warranted, a website with a portfolio of your work and/or accomplishments. If you have been a guest blogger on relevant sites, provide links to those posts too.
Update consistently
It is often advised when you start a new position, you begin updating your resume. This is because you want to be sure to remember all of your accomplishments if and when you decide to make another career move, or if, for any reason, your employment is terminated (companies do close). Keep your resume updated all the time.
No tag lines
Lines such as "References available upon request," are not necessary and just take up space. Leave them out. If you are asked for references or links to things during an interview, you can provide them at that time.
Do not abbreviate
The only abbreviation you can use is "U.S." Otherwise, spell everything out. Even abbreviations for schools attended may not be known by employers. The rule for acronyms is the same; spell them out.
This article provides a good checklist for job seekers, whether they are crafting their first resumes ever or if they are veterans with several previous resumes under their belts. Sometimes, it's the little things that can make a difference.

Peter Weddle explains that TATech is the global trade association for the talent acquisition solutions industry. It represents the for-profit enterprises and not-for-profit organizations that provide technology-based products and services for talent acquisition professionals, from applicant tracking system companies, job boards, and social media sites to mobile apps, recruitment advertising agencies, and cloud-based recruitment marketing platforms. Collectively, its members power or operate over 60,000 sites worldwide and provide state-of-the-art solutions services for virtually every facet of talent acquisition.
The purpose of the TATech 2016 Fall Conference & Expo is to provide cross-talk and information sharing between recruiters/talent acquisition professionals and vendors who provide products and services for talent acquisition professionals. Peter Weddle believes there is a lack of communication and interaction between these two groups of professionals, and that enabling employers and recruiters to get the information they need from their vendors will help them improve their return on investment.
Steven Rothberg, President of College Recruiter, hopes to help talent acquisition leaders improve their return on investment when working with vendors, too, and that is the scope of his presentation entitled, "Doing better deals: How to be a smart consumer of talent acquisition solutions." In the past, many employers simply posted jobs and assumed the risk; either the jobs would perform well or not. However, with the solutions available to employers now via technology, employers should do their homework and understand the estimated return on investment associated with various types of advertising (banner advertising, email campaigns, pay per click, etc.).
Steven will cover this information in his presentation and believes it will empower talent acquisition professionals to make informed decisions regarding their college recruiting budgets. It will also help employers to negotiate better deals and to make cost comparisons between proposals from different vendors. He emphasizes that employers should negotiate with vendors and provide justification using metrics and pricing information using this type of cost comparison information.
Peter Weddle emphasizes the value of attending a conference like the TATech 2016 Fall Conference & Expo; there isn't always an opportunity to visit face-to-face with owners of organizations like College Recruiter. In addition, TATech is offering free hotel accommodations at The Palms to those who register for the conference by June 15, 2016. Lastly, Peter mentions that the conference is truly a fun experience, featuring the 2016 Recruiting Service Innovation Awards (the ReSIs). Modeled after the Oscars, the awards are a red carpet, black tie optional celebration.

The postings boasted of positions allowing students flexible hours/scheduling "to avoid conflicts between classes or other business." Unfortunately, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Upon further investigation, that was the case with this posting.
College students and recent grads should be leery of shady job postings. If applicants run across job postings like this (or are approached by companies after posting their resumes online), they should consider the following warning signs that may indicate signs of fraudulence:
Faith Rothberg, CEO of College Recruiter, recently discussed the topic of fraudulent job postings with Pete Weddle, the Vice President of TATech. Faith will be moderating a panel discussion at the TATech Industry Congress this weekend, April 16-17, in Orlando, Florida.
If the video is not playing or displaying properly click here.
Faith and Pete both believe that if College Recruiter and other recruitment media companies take action to prevent scammers from successfully reaching candidates, they will help make a difference in fighting this ongoing battle against fraudulent job postings.
"At College Recruiter, we believe every student and recent grad deserves to get started in a great career. Having quality job postings is necessary to reaching this goal," Faith Rothberg states. "We also believe that talent acquisition leaders deserve to have a place to connect with candidates, a place which showcases quality positions they have to offer. This is what College Recruiter offers. College Recruiter's extensive filtering system ensures that the jobs on our site are quality postings and are limited strictly to those with 0-3 years of experience."

Don Drummond
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

Drummond was born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1932.
His musical career began in the mid-1950s with the Eric Deans All-Stars. He continued into the 1960s with others, including Kenny Williams.
With the birth of ska Don joined The Skatalites. He became a household name in Jamaica, before suffering mental problems. He was rated by pianist George Shearing to be amongst the world's top five trombone players.
In 1965 he was convicted of the murder on January 1, 1965 of Anita "Margarita" Mahfood, an exotic dancer and singer. He was interned at Belle Vue Asylum, Kingston where he remained until his death. The official cause of death was "suicide", but other theories remain; some of his colleagues believed it was a government plot against the Kingston musical scene, and some believed that he was killed by gangsters as revenge for the murder of Mahfood.

Prince Bader bought record-breaking $450 million Leonardo Da Vinci painting.
According to The New York Times, the painting was bought by Prince Bader bin Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Farhan al-Saud, said to be a close friend of Saudi Arabia's powerful crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman.
The newspaper said it had seen documents confirming that Prince Bader bought the work when it sold at auction in New York for a record-breaking $450 million last month.
The little-known royal is not known to be an art collector and it is understood he had to provide a $100 million deposit to qualify for the auction at Christie's. He is said to now be paying for the piece in six instalments.
The £1billion Louvre Abu Dhabi opened last month in the presence of French President Emmanuel Macron, who described the new museum as a 'bridge between civilizations.'
It announced its coup on Twitter, writing: "Da Vinci's Salvator Mundi is coming to #LouvreAbuDhabi', alongside an image of the 500-year-old work.
The painting went on public display at the National Gallery in 2011 after being declared the first newly discovered Da Vinci painting in a century.
It had sold for just £45 in 1958, when it was thought to have been a copy, and was lost until resurfacing at a regional auction in 2005.
Bidding in New York started at $100 million and crept up in $5 million instalments, eventually clinching the record price to audible gasps in the auction room.
A spokeswoman for Christie's said it did not comment on the identities of any buyers or sellers without their permission

The important factor to thought process behind choosing a second cat is that the attributes of the breed must be carefully considered so that it will increase the likelihood of having a much better successful pairing.
Whilst it can be extremely tempting to bring home a new kitten that you have had your eye on at the local pet shop for the last few weeks. But, it is important to look at the situation carefully as your existing pet may not enjoy all of the commotion and excitability that a new kitten can bring and may find the whole situation upsetting…
Something which should be evaluated when bringing in a second cat into your home is that you do all of your due diligence on where the cat or kitten has come from and ask these important questions.
Did they have any litter-mates for example?
This is vitally important during the development tool stage as this is where kittens educate themselves as to how to treat other cats, how they are able to ask for things and also absorb all of the other signals which helps with the development.
Have they had a good upbringing was in a good shelter? Again, social ability at the early stages is incredibly important and must not be ignored.
An important factor which is very interesting to learn is that 2/3 of the worlds population of cats are considered 'betas'…
Therefore, the best and most successful companionship matching it with the other cats of the same type. The rowdy and sometimes disruptive ways of an alpha cat will eventually cause friction with their opposite..
Whilst the alpha type is much more likely tend to stay active and energetic as they grow older, the gammas tend to get much more serious much sooner.
Whilst age is also an important factor to consider, the activity levels of the cats should be given a much higher priority..
If your cat is still relatively active and enjoys climbing and playing on their cat tree, then introducing a similarly active kitten should not cause much of an issue.
Excitability and energy levels are one of the main causes of friction between feline friends so assessing the energy levels of your own cat and comparing that to any second cats that you bring into your home is definitely worth considering and taking very seriously.
Sometimes, the best solution if you are considering having two cats is to purchase them at the same time and even from the same litter. Why not get a two for one deal and allow them to grow up together at their own pace!
We always recommend finding a cat from a rescue shelter and certainly do not recommend purchasing your cat from unlicensed home breeders.

AUGUSTA – Rep. Jess Fay, D-Raymond, will be the lead co-sponsor of a bill filed by Sen. Bill Diamond, D-Windham, to facilitate the delivery of propane to keep Mainers warm in declared heating emergencies.
The bill responds to current widespread delays in fuel delivery by allowing propane delivery drivers to fill tanks owned by different companies. The law now states that tanks may be filled only by the company that owns them. This bill waives that requirement, provided both companies involved have an agreement and that an emergency has been declared, as has been the case recently due to abnormally cold temperatures throughout the state.
"It is entirely unacceptable that some Mainers are going without heat in this bitter cold," said Sen. Diamond. "This bill applies common sense to the situation and allows propane companies to fill tanks that may belong to another company. My view is, if the product is available, there should be no barriers keeping it from being delivered."
"I have heard from a significant number of folks and want to use the tools I have as a legislator to try to connect people with resources and give them a way to get their fuel in a timely manner," said Rep. Jessica Fay, D-Casco, who supports the legislation and introduced her own similar bill to help Mainers access propane. "It is upsetting to me to hear from so many constituents about this issue, and it is heartening that Sen. Diamond and I are thinking along the same lines."
As the statutory cutoff date for introducing bills has passed, this bill must be approved by a majority of the Legislative Council, the ten members of leadership in the Legislature. Bipartisan support is required for any bill to be accepted.

MS chases mice revenue The humble mouse and keyboard set was one of the best selling peripherals over the Christmas period. Inform figures show revenue in the retail market for mice grew to $13 million and the keyboard market took in $7 million. More than half those sales were from Microsoft-branded mouse products. The vendor also topped keyboard sales with 43.9 per cent of the market. Microsoft's Optical Mouse Blue was the most popular product but the new wireless product and older models also continued to do well. Wireless keyboards were popular. Although Microsoft is not widely known for its hardware products, 2003 marks 20 years in the sector for the company.
LG.Philips LCD to expand One of the world's largest makers of liquid crystal display plans to build a new manufacturing facility in South Korea. LG.Philips LCD is a joint venture between Philips and LG Electronics. The company already has four manufacturing facilities in South Korea, all in the Gumi area. Displays made by LG.Philips LCD are used in large-screen TVs, notebook computers and flat-panel computer monitors. "We are looking at buying land to build a new factory and expand the LG.Philips LCD facilities in South Korea," a Philips spokesman, Andre Manning, said. "However, no final decision has been made."
Sony colours PlayStation Sony Computer Entertainment (SCEI) will begin selling colour models of its hit PlayStation 2 games console in Japan in February. The machines, which the company says are being released to mark production hitting 50 million earlier this month, will be available in silver, "sakura" and aqua. Sakura is the Japanese word for cherry blossom and the colour is similar to pink. It's not the first time SCEI has sold colour versions of the usually black games console. The company did so in 2001 to mark sales of 20 million units and it also issued special colour editions in 2002.

This article is part of our Starting Eleven series.
Welcome back to another season of fantasy Premier League on Starting Eleven. Before we jump into Saturday's breakdown, here's a reminder of the scoring rules:
Rosters consist of 11 players in any acceptable formation (minimum of three defenders, three midfielders and one forward) and there is no salary cap. Fantasy points are distributed as such:
Defenders, Midfielders, and Forwards:
• Goal: 8 pts (exclusive of shot on target)
• Assist: 5 pts
• Shot on Target: 2 pts
• Shot Off Target: 0.5 pts
• Missed Penalty Kick: -5 pts
• Clean Sheet (for Defender in user's Active Lineup for the player's entire match): 5 pts
• Clean Sheet (for Midfielder in user's Active Lineup for the player's entire match): 3 pts
• Foul Drawn: 1 pt
• Completed Pass: 0.1 pts
• Tackle Won: 1 pt
• Pass Intercepted: 1 pt
• Duel Won: 0.5 pts
• Red Card: -5 pts
• Yellow Card: -2 pts
• Own Goal -3 pts
• Every two goals conceded (for Defenders): -2 pts
• Clean Sheet (for Goalkeeper in user's Active Lineup for entire game): 7 pts
• Saves: 2 pt
• Penalty Saves: 5 pts
• Every two goals Conceded: -2 pts
• Own goal: -3
• Goal: 8 pts
To enhance the fantasy points above, fantasy owners choose one player to be their captain, who will score double points (similar to the Premier League's official fantasy game). The enhancements don't end there, as fantasy owners can also make up to three substitutions, so if a player gets injured, sent off or is simply not performing well, they can be replaced by a player in the same game or another one that kicked off at the same time (note: captain's points do not transfer). A few more key points:
• Goalkeepers, Defenders, and Midfielders must play the entire match, including stoppage time, to qualify for the clean sheet points. The player's team must allow zero goals, including own goals, over the course of regular time and stoppage time to qualify.
• An own goal counts towards the number of goals conceded and will preclude the team scored on from getting clean sheet points.
• A Goalkeeper will earn 5 pts for a penalty kick save even if the penalty kick is not on target.
• Points for shots and saves are not awarded on penalty kicks. The only points available to be earned on penalty kicks are points for a goal, penalty miss, penalty save, and own goal.
And finally, Starting Eleven has a great bonus for anyone playing a cash game of at least £5 this weekend:

7:30 a.m: Newcastle v. Tottenham
10:00 a.m: Huddersfield v. Chelsea
10:00 a.m: Bournemouth v. Cardiff City
10:00 a.m: Watford v. Brighton
10:00 a.m: Fulham v. Crystal Palace
12:30 p.m: Wolves v. Everton
Chelsea and Bournemouth are the biggest favorites on Saturday's six-match slate, but there are few consistent fantasy producers among their forward pools. Bournemouth's Joshua King was the highest-scoring forward last season among the two teams, but his 382.2 total fantasy points (not including cards) were good for 54th-most in the league. Nearly 29 percent of his production came from his 221 duels won, and while he has decent odds to find the back of the net in relation to other players Saturday, they aren't overwhelming enough to consider him. Meanwhile, Chelsea's Alvaro Morata is even more goal dependent, and he only has one Premier League goal in 2018.
Turning away from the favorites, Everton's Richarlison jumps out because of his excellent fantasy floor. Playing away to Wolves has Everton as underdogs, but Richarlison comes in as the highest-scoring forward from last season (among players on Saturday's slate). More than 30 percent of his fantasy points came from his league-leading 323 duels won, and there's every reason to think he'll be generating those chances against Wolves.
It's not enough to roster forwards who depend on goals because all it takes is 16 duels won to equal one goal. Even shots on goal are more reliable, as it only takes four to equal the value of a goal. Ultimately, we're better off focusing on guys who like to attack with the ball instead of those who simply have the ball fed to them to shoot quickly. Richarlison obviously fits into that former category, as does Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha, who averaged 8.08 duels won per 90 minutes last season and is expected to continue taking on a big part of their attacking load. In a similar mode, you could even turn to Christian Benteke, whose 11.67 duels won per 90 minutes were the second-most among players who played at least 1,000 minutes.
The Tottenham situation is worth monitoring as well, with Harry Kane unlikely to start after beginning preseason training late after the World Cup. If that's the case, Son Heung-Min could be an interesting alternative, as he completes a decent number of passes for a forward and isn't afraid to shoot. His goal upside isn't as high as Kane's (that applies to most players), but he could be in for a big one before he leaves for the Asian Games.
And now to the reliable point scorers. With Chelsea's expected possession dominance against Huddersfield, Cesc Fabregas comes firmly into play after he averaged more than 70 passes per 90 minutes last season. Fabregas isn't the only Chelsea midfielder worth serious consideration, as Jorginho could be the top play at the position after he averaged more than 96 passes per 90 minutes for Napoli last season. That Napoli team isn't the same as Chelsea, but with the same manager, we can expect a possession-heavy midfield that will help us rack up the passing points. Neither Fabregas nor Jorginho are big attackers in open play, but they can also chip in with a few tackles won and fouls drawn to raise their fantasy floors.
The Tottenham midfield isn't far off, with the possibility that they also have a good amount of the ball playing away to Newcastle. Christian Eriksen is always the first midfielder to consider when it comes to Spurs because of his ball-heavy role in their attack, and while they usually have a few others you can consider, namely Dele Alli or Eric Dier, the expectation is that they'll be on the bench next to Kane.
Zaha and Benteke were attractive options as forwards, but Luka Milivojevic should be considered as well thanks to his role on penalties. Just kidding. Obviously that helps his upside, but we're more interested in his ability to win tackles, draw fouls, intercept passes, complete passes and win duels. He was the 13th-highest scoring player last season, and while some of that was certainly helped by his 10 goals, he was still a top 20 player overall after removing goals and assists. Milivojevic's floor makes him a more attractive option than teammate Andros Townsend, who has a role on set pieces but doesn't do nearly enough in the relevant stat categories to provide the same floor.
On the opposite side of that game is Jean-Michael Seri, one of 254 players Fulham brought in this summer (I'll have to double check that number). Seri is expected to have a major role in the middle of the park, and after averaging 82.65 passes, 4.67 duels won and 2.09 fouls drawn per 90 minutes for Nice last term, he looks primed to be a regular in Starting Eleven lineups this season. Fulham actually have a number of interesting fantasy options, including Ryan Sessegnon and Tom Cairney, though I may be hesitant to use more than one in their first match back in the Premier League.
Finding defenders who complete a lot of passes and playing for a team expected to have most of the possession is key to getting high floor production. Chelsea and Tottenham fit into that category, though the latter may be using a rotated back line because seemingly all of their players just returned from the World Cup. Chelsea, on the other hand, have excellent options in players like Antonio Rudiger, Cesar Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen, with Marcos Alonso providing the upside. A full Chelsea stack isn't crazy against a Huddersfield side that could really struggle with consistent attacks this season, though I'd feel even better about it if Kepa Arrizabalaga was in goal instead of Wilfredo Caballero. I wouldn't totally avoid the Huddersfield defense, as center-back Christopher Schindler finished tied for fourth in duels won (241) last season, though the five points for a clean sheet are unlikely to hit.
Even against the team with the highest odds to be relegated, I still struggle to feel confident about the Bournemouth back line and goalkeeper, especially after Asmir Begovic co-led the Premier League in goals conceded last season. Cardiff aren't expected to be a great attacking team, but that Bournemouth back line is no guarantee for a clean sheet. Bournemouth may have the ball a bunch, but I'm not sure they are in a spot where their defenders really take advantage.

Author: Jay Crownover
Series: Saints of Denver #1
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Pub Date: January 5th, 2016
Publisher:William Morrow Paperbacks
Format: ebook
Source: N/A
From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Marked Men books comes an electrifying new spin-off series,Saints of Denver, featuring all the characters fans have been dying to read about.
Sayer Cole and Zeb Fuller couldn't be more different. She's country club and fine-dining, he's cell-block and sawdust. Sayer spends her days in litigation, while Zeb spends his working with his hands. She's French silk, he's all denim and flannel.
Zeb's wanted the stunning blonde since the moment he laid eyes on her. It doesn't matter how many smooth moves he makes, the reserved lawyer seems determinedly oblivious to his interest—either that or she doesn't return it. Sayer is certain the rough, hard, hot-as-hell Zeb could never want someone as closed off and restrained as she is, which is a shame because something tells her he might be the guy to finally melt her icy exterior.
But just as things start to heat up, Zeb is blindsided by a life altering moment from his past. He needs Sayer's professional help to right a wrong and to save more than himself. He can't risk what's at stake just because his attraction to Sayer feels all consuming. But as these opposites dig in for the fight of their lives, battling together to save a family, the steam created when fire and ice collide can no longer be ignored.
If most of you don't know by now then you soon will figure it out but Jay Crownover is on my Top 10 favorite authors. So when I found out that The Marked Men series will have a spin off series, I was over the moon and started counting down the days till the release day. The moment it was released I grabbed it and started reading it immediately. I loved this book just as much as I loved the others. When I read Rowdy I wanted to know more about Sayer and Zeb. Zeb is one giant of a man whereas Sayer is small and delicate and I mean physical not emotional.
As I said in my earliest review, the first thing I notice is a cover but I wanted to read this book before there even was a cover. The blurb is always the one thing that makes my choice of reading a book but I chose to read all those books because it's written by Miss Crownover before I even saw the blurb. This book reached and surpassed my expectations.
Now the writing is fantastic and the emotions in this book were written amazingly. I understood why Sayer struggled like that, she never believed that she could love anyone expect her brother but and yet she struggled to stay away from Zeb, especially when she kept dreaming of him. She always woke up sexually frustrated and Poppy started to notice that. Poppy is Salem's younger sister and Rowdy used to date her when she was younger, but she went through a lot of trauma recently so Sayer took her in and let her stay in her house. Now Poppy was scared of every man right now even Rowdy who is like a brother to her but somehow Zeb made her feel at ease. For me that is shocking because he is a giant of a guy yet he got her to trust him. Zeb wanted Sayer the moment he saw her for the first time in the Bar. They liked to talk to each other but when he asked her out, she froze him out.
She is afraid to give him a chance because she thinks she cant love him the way he deserves. He did not chase him away though…. He made sure to show her how much he wanted her and trust me he was getting through to her. Then one day some strange women came to his job site, he owns his own company where he restores houses and such, the moment he saw this women she started crying. After she calmed down enough she told him something that threw him off kilter. One thing he never thought he had and never expected would happen. The only way he can fix that is to go to Sayer for advice and obviously help. She being a family layer helped him out so much and it helped her grow closer to him. He saw how devoted he is to his son and how hard he worked to get him out of the system so he can have a happy life with a better childhood than he already had. The moment I read about Hyde was the moment I fell in love with the little guy. He is too smart for his own age and he went through so much for his 5 years. Thankfully he had Zeb and Sayer in his corner.
I loved Zeb and how devoted he is to his son but I also loved the persistence he had to get Sayer to love him and to see that she isn't broken and free to be herself without her worrying about her farther who abused her emotionally. Even after he died she was still afraid to be herself. Thankfully she started being true to herself with a little help from Zeb but ultimately she did it herself.
Anyway I will easily reread it. I absolutely loved and adored this book so much so that I read this in one day where I nearly had to do a all nighter. Trust me you need to read this book because you will love it.
He took a step closer to me and put his finger under my chin so that I had no choice but to look at that darkening green gaze. "You know what is a big deal?"
Without thinking I put my wet hand on the center of his chest and watched as my handprint covered the place where his heart was thudding heavy and strong. He felt so vital and real, like everything I had had my hands on before him was just make-believe.
"What?" My voice came out more of a whisper than anything else.
"We hung out, I bought you dinner, we talked about our families and shit. We shared. This was a date, Sayer. Maybe not the best first date ever but it was still a date, so you know what that means."
I did? I was still trying to get my head around the fact that it really had been kind of a date when his head lowered toward mine and my lips tickled as his beard got close enough to brush against them.
"It means we went on a date, so now you should absolutely put your hands on my dick…a lot. My gentlemanly tendencies only reach so far and with you they have about reached the end of the line."
I gulped a little. "Oh." That sounded like so many different kinds of dangerous and delicious. I had never asked him to be a gentleman, and frankly one of the reasons I was so attracted to him was because he seemed so rugged and untamed by the conventions I was used to and bored to death by.
"Yeah, oh…which I fully intend to make you say over and over again while I'm as deep inside of you as I can get."
When his mouth settled over mine, it was an entirely different mess I was suddenly worried about. There was going to be no cleaning up the wreckage that was going to be left of my heart and body when this man was done with me and that felt entirely like a great big deal even though I was helpless to stop it. It was one mess I intended to embrace and not apologize for even if that went against everything I had ingrained deep down within the very core of me.
Jay Crownover is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Marked Men and The Point series. Like her characters, she is a big fan of tattoos. She loves music and wishes she could be a rock star, but since she has no aptitude for singing or instrument playing, she'll settle for writing stories with interesting characters that make the reader feel something. She lives in Colorado with her three dogs.

Midweight BMW concept bike is all about fun
Cernobbio, Italy - The annual Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, held since 1929 in the grounds of the Villa d'Este Hotel in Cernobbio on the shores of Italy's Lake Como, sees the rarest and most elegant classic cars and motorcycles gathered to compete in a number of concours categories.
But Europe's most prestigious concours doesn't only look to the past - it also looks to the future, with one of the lawns dedicated to unique state-of-the-art show cars and concepts. And among this year's self-consciously PC electric prototypes and self-driving car-sharing concepts was this unashamedly hedonistic, fully functional concept motorcycle.
The BMW 9cento (pronounced 'nove cento' - nine hundred in Italian) is intended as an old school all-rounder with the accent on agility and riding fun, a midweight sports-tourer without the burden of either excessive bulk or electronic interference - a balance of performance and compact rideability.
It's based on the Rotax-built F-Series parallel twin, now displacing 853cc, and delivering 70kW at 8250 revs and 92Nm at 6250rpm, and brings together "appropriate power with reliable sports touring properties and above all lots of riding fun" according to BMW Motorrad head of design Edgar Heinrich.
"Functionalities such as storage space, and wind and weather protection are important to real-world riders," he explained, "but they're not usually considered in the design of a concept."
"With this bike we want to show that all these rational aspects can go together with a dynamic design to create something exciting and emotional."
The silhouette is pure sports-bike, with most of its volume ahead of the rear wheel, and a short, high tail section, but the chassis is set up for longer rides with very conventional, long-travel suspension, a low, upright seating position and a tall, narrow screen, its lines melding into the tank sides as on BMW's GS beetle-crushers.
The fuel tank is finished in reflective chrome-effect paint, with distinct GS-style metallic silver insets. All the aluminium parts such as the centre tank panel, the rear carrier and footpeg brackets, have a finely grooved milled finish with the machining marks pointing towards the front wheel.
The rear subframe is reinforced with carbon fibre, to reduce weight and provide a visual link between the front trim and milled-aluminium carrier, leaving a lot of open space between the rear wheel and the bodywork.
A clever double-sided storage box clips onto the rear sub-frame from above and is held in place by a powerful electromagnet under the carrier; it not only provides luggage space for longer trips but also makes the pillion seat wider and more comfortable. Without the box, the 9cento is an attitudinous single-seat cafe-racer; hook it on, and you've got a decent light sports-tourer.
The headlight, unusually for BMW, has two symmetrical elements, each with with a U-shaped LED daytime riding at the bottom and a compact projector above it - low beam on one side and high beam on the other - while the LED tail-lights create two C-shaped arcs facing inwards under the seat, making the most of the narrow tailpiece.

Yesterday coffee with the usual Wednesday morning guys. Rick brought up the stuff happening in Ferguson, Mo.: The agitators from outside the community, and even outside the state, stirring up trouble. The celebrities, like Al Sharpton, also feeding the anger. And the store owners, staying up all night guarding their shops, trying to protect their livelihood from looters. Then Rick asked a question that was hard to consider, especially since I had barely started drinking my coffee: "As Christians, what should be our response to all this?"
It would be so easy to get sucked into the anger, and lash out at one side or the other. But I really don't think that's what Jesus wants me to do. Look, everyone involved is just a normal, broken human being. We are all messed up, full of sin and selfishness. Things like compassion don't seem to come naturally. It's the ugly responses, the judgment and harsh words, that seem to naturally ooze out of us. What should be my Christian response? I choose compassion and love. For how could I judge those who are no different from me – a typical screwed up person?

"After yesterday's dismal 3Y auction, which was nothing short of a disaster across virtually every metric, moments ago the US Treasury sold $24bn in 9-year 10-month reopening CUSIP 5M8, which was about as close to stellar as one can get. The auction priced at a high yield 2.728%, stopping 0.8 bps through the when [sic] issued of 2.736%, and the lowest yield since January 2018, sharply lower than last month's 2.915%. The bid-to-cover meanwhile jumped from 2.35 to 2.51. The internals were also strong, with indirects taking down 56.9%, below the 65.3% auction average, largely due to a surge in directs which doubled to 20.8%, the highest since May 2015. This left dealers holding 22.3%, far below the 26.0% auction average."

" I have been leasing Lexus vehicles for almost 30 years! My lease for my NX was coming due. I was hesitant to even consider any vehicle transactions during this Covid-19 pandemic. However, I decided to contract Lexus of Southampton. Thanks to Joe Torres, the experience was quick, professional, seamless, & most important - SAFE! I felt the dealership & the employees followed the proper guidelines protecting their customers and themselves. Also thanks to Felicia, for her assistance! I most certainly look forward to continue doing business with Lexus of SH! "

" Today I picked up my 3rd vehicle from Lexus of Southampton, and could not be more impressed with the level of efficiency, professionalism, and customer care. Joe Savino has been nothing short of outstanding. His knowledge, experience, and willingness to help has been a breath of fresh air, especially in the automotive industry that is typically hallmarked by pushiness and pressure. Lexus is a great product, and Lexus of Southampton is the premier dealership to buy or lease one! Thank you! "
" Someplace quality automobiles recommend "
" Excellent service from Felicia who I dealt with mainly to Wayne and Mike who also were involved. Thank you. Philip "
"Excellent, consistent service"
" The service department is made up of a wonderful team of professionals, always there to help. They communicate what work needs to be done, how long it will take and notify you if anything unforeseen comes up. They don't try to sell you what you don't need. Workmanship is professional, and properly done on a timely basis. A well-run operation that doesn't waste anyone's valuable time. We've been loyal customers for nearly 15 years! Highest recommendation to this team. Many thanks to Mike V., Frank and Maria!!! "

"Great experience "
" Great experience and would highly recommend this dealership. The whole process was straight forward and simple. I worked with an experienced employee who was helpful and honest. "
" Great experience and professional staff "
" When it comes down to deciding on what car to drive, lease, and or own paramount to most consumers are safety, price, and appearance. At Lexus of Southampton, it is a clean sweep as here you will find quality with a track record. Upon entering here, I was greeted by a spirit of a welcome and genuine sense of "We are here to be of help." And for this damsel in distress, I could not have been luckier than to be directed to Frank Knoll, Sales, and Leasing Consultant. While we did begin our discussion with the most impressive of their luxury line, my circumstances did not permit me to make a significant investment at this time. Frank moved down the list one by one sharing the key features of the new, then previously owned certified vehicles and what inventory had been returned from leasing. I decided on a previous owned leased vehicle in mint condition and plenty of room to permit me to take along my bike, labrador, and easily get groceries. Lexus was wise to hire Frank as his seeming stealth manner made for ease in discussion and the welcomed absence of any sales pressure. So within fifteen minutes, Frank had his sale and I the lucky owner of my new car! His associate and Business Manager, Wayne Foisy, worked up the financing exactly where I wanted to be monthly. When I went to pick up the car, it was detailed and immaculate. I immediately felt the pride of the Lexus staff and was encouraged by them to return with any concerns and questions. So if you want to gift someone you love, even yourself, peace of mind, safety, and comfort in a fantastic brand of automobile this holiday season, stop by Lexus of Southampton just in time for the end of year sales and the debut of 2020 autos. Ask for Frank and tell him, "Jackie sent me." You won't be disappointed when teaming up with Frank and Lexus. As I texted my kids, "Momma has a new hot set of wheels." My daughter gifted me with a blue cruiser bike for Mother's Day, and now I can take it with me at any time, anywhere, as it is indeed I found the perfect fit! "
" Lexus of Southampton is exceptional place to buy or lease a car. Outstanding, very professional Team and wonderful totally different car buying experience. I had the pleasure of working with Frank Knoll Sales and Leasing Consultant through test drive, paperwork and picking up my beautiful 2015 Lexus RX 350. Thanks to Frank the car buying experience was very smooth, fast, easy and very professionally handled. The car was presented to me in excellent (sparkling clean) condition in and out. Orientation by Michael Tannenbaum the Lexus Technology Specialist was excellent and very helpful. Big thanks to Wayne from Finance Dep. and big thanks to Service Dep for preparing this car for me. If you want to buy or lease a car go to Lexus of Southampton and ask for Frank Knoll - excellent consultant. Thank you and I love my Lexus. Regards, Zanetta "
"Joe Savino is the best!"
" Joe Savino was very professional. An absolute pleasure to do business with. I have bought dozens of new cars and Joe and Lexus of Southampton were the best. "
"Excellent Experience"
" Thank you to Joe Savino for guiding me though the experience of finding the right Lexus for me. I visited the dealership three times before purchasing a car. Joe was patient, asking the right questions about what I wanted in a car so I could decide between the NX300 and the RX350. He provided excellent advice about leasing vs purchasing. Though out the experience everyone at the dealership was professional. The paperwork was straight forward and a breeze compared and to the last unnamed dealership. "
"Great Dealership "
" I was very impressed by the helpful staff and would recommend Frank Knowles my salesperson for his attention and knowledge to help direct me in the right decisions based upon my own criteria. The service department is also hands on and quick and easy!! My experience with other Lexus dealers have been less than satisfactory and unscrupulous (Huntington) to say the least. Southampton is the way to go!! "
" Had a great experience purchasing a new vehicle! "
"Helpful and kind"
" My husband and I were looking to turn in our lease early to Lexus, we went right to joe savino who sold it to us and he made the transition to our new Lexus so easy!!! Everyone there is so nice and the customer service is amazing!!! "
"Trustworthy "
" Great experience buying a car at Lexus Southampton. They are super friendly and not pushy at all. I truly enjoyed my buying experience. Joe Savino is a top notch salesperson. "
" Great dealership with top notch sales and service. My salesman was not high pressure, knew his business and got me a good deal. The tech guy thoroughly explained all of the bells and whistles on my new car and even explained some items to me over the phone when I called! Service appointments are easy to make and done efficiently. "
" Excellence, honesty, and patience. Joe is the best. We have been getting our Lexuses from him for years. He has provided us with top- notch service. "
" Great service "
"Great service. Very good people, Excellent experience!"
" The team at Southampton is tremendous. They made getting into a great car extremely pleasant and easy. Wayne and Frank had my car ready and waiting for me yesterday. Mike T made sure I knew how everything worked and a little bit of history on celebs in the area. "
" I was greeted with kindness ,patience ,and with open arms I am so happy to be apart of the Lexus family after having 4 Honda vehicles this has been a smooth transition. I Love that everyone is so friendly and accommodating. I especially want to thank Felicia , Joe, Wayne and Mike. I would recommend Lexus of Southampton to everyone, you will drive off the lot smiling and crying with tears of joy. Thank you Lexus of Southampton for expediting the process I am very happy. Denise Wade "
" We knew we wanted a hybrid and were aware of the Lexus portfolio. Our salesman was superb. Friendly helpful informative and persistent! He made the process seamless. We were introduced to the supportive team members at the time of purchase. We received a 90 minute orientation to the auto which was amazing. We are former BMW customers and never had an experience like this. Service with a smile and a firm handshake! We are thrilled with our newly leased ES 300h. Ask for Frank Knoll- he is terrific! "
