Kongregate Unblocked
Online gaming and mobile phone gaming are a highly lucrative industry and the advent of Smartphone and tablet technology has meant that more complex and demanding games can be created for these platforms. Smartphones and Tablets have well-developed hardware capabilities and can handle games that are visually demanding and use a greater amount of processing power.
There are literally thousands of different games individuals can download and spend hours playing on – Role playing, strategy, MMORPG, first-person shooter, puzzle, logic, mental games – The list goes on! Businesses such as Kongregate have been highly successful in the online-games market and have created some popular titles. Due to the nature of online gaming, websites such as Kongregate are often blocked – If you love online gaming and require access to such sites, it is important to understand how you can bypass any network imposed restrictions.
What is Kongregate?
Kongregate is both an online gaming portal and a game publisher owned by the Gamestop Corporation. The original web portal was launched in 2006 and was developed extensively with help from a community of testers and the public. Kongregate is now a successful business and its portal hosts over 100,000 free to play games that are played by a user base of over 10 million people.
Games available on the web portal vary hugely in complexity and genre and can include anything from first person shooters and strategy games to basic puzzle and logic games or role-playing series. The scope and reach of Kongregate is quite staggering and the business has developed various tools to allow their games to be integrated onto other platforms such as Steam and Facebook.
Why might Kongregate be blocked?
This should be quite obvious! Online gaming websites are some of the most filtered and restricted websites online. There are many potential issues as to why Kongregate could be blocked – Firstly, there is the inherent security risk – Although the games are vetted by the business, there is no guarantee that they are safe or secure. Secondly, it is considered counter-productive to allow students or employees access to games during working hours. Finally, gaming sites such as Kongregate can take up a great amount of bandwidth and can adversely affect the performance of network systems.
How can you unblock Kongregate?
If you want to access Kongregate but are unable to do so due to restrictions, there are methods you can use to bypass blocks. Firstly, a VPN service offers a reliable and secure method of connecting to the internet. Using a VPN, you will establish a secure VPN tunnel and connect to the internet using a VPN server and a generic IP address – This will mean that your own IP remains hidden and that any blocks imposed on Kongregate will prove ineffective.
Alternatively, you could consider using a proxy service – A proxy website will connect to Kongregate on your behalf, therefore, bypassing any restrictions on direct access. The only issue is those proxy websites are sometimes themselves blocked also, therefore, you would have to find a proxy service that isn't blocked in the first place.

SOURCE: Genova, Pamela A. Review of L'événement, by Annie Ernaux. World Literature Today 75, no. 1 (winter 2001): 136-37.
In the following review, Genova compliments Ernaux's attempts to present a literary examination of an emotionally-troubling incident in L'événement.
A new book by Annie Ernaux, L'événement, not only presents a first-person narrative describing the events of a difficult experience for a young woman in Rouen in 1963; it also simultaneously offers a study in memory and time, in the dynamics of the elusive nature of human emotion and the individual attempt to recapture, reexperience, and translate in writing an episode of deeply emotive subjectivity.
The "event" of the title, quite frankly, is an abortion, the experience that changed the life of a twenty-three-year-old woman faced with the age-old desperation, loneliness, and fear that so many women have encountered in the same daunting and ambivalent situation, particularly given...

Optimize your binding settings in Windows 2000, part 1
Brush up on bindings, an often overlooked but crucial aspect of networking. One of our experts offers IT pros these tips on how to optimize bindings and their networks.
One of the most important but lightly taught aspects of networking is bindings and the order in which they can be processed. In two articles I provide a few simple steps to help improve network performance and reduce network traffic.
In this installment, I will introduce bindings and the transport driver interface and offered tips on how to adjust protocols to improve networks. In part two, I will cover network driver interface specification, how to best reduce the number of network protocols and how to optimize network bindings.
Bindings can be confusing at first, so let's take a look at what they do before optimizing their settings.
Figure 1 shows an example of how bindings are typically set up, starting with the I/O Manager in Windows 2000, which resides in the executive portion of the Windows 2000 operating system. Click here to view Figure 1.
While at first glance this may look confusing, it's actually fairly simple. The entire model resides under the I/O Manager. The I/O Manager is a true manager: it doesn't do anything itself; it simply passes requests off to someone else.
Let's say the I/O Manager receives a request from a network client for a file located in a share on a server. The I/O Manager passes the request to the local file system, which retrieves the file and passes it back to the I/O Manager. Because the server service originally requested the file and handled the incoming request, the server service receives the file and sends it to the proper protocol through the transport driver interface.
The transport driver interface (TDI)
The TDI is an interface between the transport layer and upper-level applications and interfaces, such as NetBIOS or Winsock applications; services such as the server service and any redirectors, including clients for Microsoft Networks service and workstation service; and any third-party redirectors, such as client services for Netware or Gateway and client services for Netware, if a server.
Third-party software manufacturers usually provide their own redirectors. For example, Novell provides a redirector of its own, and Microsoft's redirectors are built in. Microsoft also has a redirector for Novell, so you have a choice. Redirectors reside on the presentation layer of the OSI Model. The TDI makes it easier to write transport layer protocols, because any protocol conforming to the TDI model can communicate with higher-level applications using the common TDI interface.
On the reverse side, the TDI makes it easier for IT programmers to develop upper-level client applications and services because the software only has to be written for the TDI standard. This means programmers don't have to write separate clients for Microsoft Networks for TCP/IP and NetBEUI. The TDI lets the Microsoft Networks client work with any installed protocol that recognizes it. If you install the TCP/IP, IPX/SPX and AppleTalk protocols, for example, the Microsoft Networks client will automatically bind to TPC/IP and IPX/SPX, but not AppleTalk. On the other hand, if you install Gateway and client services for Netware, the Microsoft Networks client only binds to IPX/SPX, because that is all it's programmed to use.
You can see in Figure 1 that transport protocols are directly below the TDI. These protocols can have a huge impact on network performance.
The first rule of installing protocols is minimalism. If you don't have to install a protocol, then don't. Remember, the network will broadcast on all installed protocols because it doesn't know which protocols you're watching. The network wants to ensure all protocols get messages.
Also, if the network can't contact you on the first protocol in the binding order, it will try the rest until it either finds you or runs out of protocols. If you have one protocol and add another, you basically double the network broadcast traffic. The more protocols you add, the more traffic on the network.
A fellow administrator once complained to me that his network was slow and asked me to take a look. He had every available protocol installed "in case someone wants to call me on one of them," he said. Most likely you're not running the phone company, so there should be no unexpected calls. And your Active Directory design process should outline what protocols will be used for before installation.
If later you need another protocol, install it. But until then, only install protocols the network requires. On the other hand, take every opportunity to remove unnecessary protocols. For example, if you don't use NetBEUI anymore, get rid of it. If you upgraded Novell servers, remove IPX/SPX. Every protocol removed should decrease network traffic and improve network performance.
These simple steps will help you to improve network performance and lower bandwidth usage. I simplified the explanations for brevity. If you want to learn more, I recommend the comprehensive and well-written Windows 2000 TCP/IP Black Book by Ian McLean, published by Coriolis, Networking Essentials by Microsoft Press, and TechNet's Knowledge Base.

Is anyone else experiencing incredibly annoying and weird Kinja formatting stuff? Articles are now right justified so there's a ton of negative space sitting on the left under the ad. There's a damn "Related Post" chunk right in the middle of another. And then this "Backstory" bar at the top of this one. What the hell does Thatz Not Okay have to do with Hamilton rants? Is it because that's about manners? Why is every article some different mess?!

Introducing the 401(kid)
I've written in the past about teaching kids about money in general, and our allowance system in particular. With regard to the latter, we provide each of our boys (except our toddler) with an allowance of $0.50/week for each year of age, meaning that our eight year old gets $4/week, and so on. We then divide this up with 10% going to the charity of their choice, 30% going into long term savings, and 60% being spendable. The boys each have an account at ING Direct where we stash their long term savings, as well as gift money that they happen to come across.
All in all, this approach has worked quite well thus far. The boys have quit begging for stuff in stores because they now have the power to buy (or save up for) pretty much whatever they want. They also love logging in to ING to check how much they've earned earned in interest over the past month, and it's really helped familiarize them with the concept of money. That being said, I've been looking for ways to get the kids interested in saving beyond us simply telling them that they have to put aside a certain amount for the future each and every week. And then it hit me…
Matching funds! Why not offer to match their savings deposits on a dollar-for-dollar basis when they choose to put additional (i.e., spending) money in the bank? I offered this deal to our eight year old, and it didn't really resonate with him at first. But after thinking about it for awhile, he began to come around. In the end, he decided to test the waters with some of his 'backpack money' (random change that he had picked up at the bus stop, on the playground, etc.) and stashed in his backpack. He ended up depositing something like $1.09, and was absolutely thrilled when I matched it. His younger brothers, on the other hand, couldn't care less.
Our six year old is a good little saver, but prefers to keep all of his money 'spendable', whereas our four year old doesn't make much (yet), and he tends to spend it as fast as he makes it. He also has a tendency to lose his weekly allowance when he does things like dropping trou in public just for the shock value. But that's a story for another day.

Great idea!Comment by Blaine Moore — Jun 15th 2006 @ 9:24 am
What a great idea! It still seems so far away to me–my son is only 2. But I'm stashing away good ideas from your site to use when he's old enough to understand money. He's just at the point of enjoying carrying pennies around in his hot little fist. He'll ask me to get down my change jar and give him a penny.Comment by claire — Jun 16th 2006 @ 12:18 pm

Japanese Tsunami Survivors Face Daily Struggle
Japanese Tsunami Survivors Face Daily Struggle
Amid the desperate attempts by rescue teams to find anyone alive in the wreckage left by the Japan tsunami, survivors of the disaster are struggling to get by. Close to half a million people are estimated to be living in shelters, most sleeping on the cold floors of school gymnasiums. The very old and the very young are the most at risk.

You know you're in trouble when you can't figure out which fetish you're responding to: über-cool, designer kitsch or your favorite character license. Whatever the reason, Medicom's ursa ultras have invaded.
Initially available only at various JP toy festivals, three sets have now been released: Ultraman, Katokutai, Dada, and Zetton arrived last year, followed by Ultra Seven, Ultra Keibitai, Eleking, Metron, Imit Ultra Seven, Kingjoe, and Pegassa in two similar releases this year.
There really isn't much more that can be said.
Be@rbricks are sturdy (if ridiculous) little things that will stand there obligingly enough. You can position their arms and hands, balance them on one foot, pivot them at the waist -what have you. You can wonder when more will be released and whether you'll be able to find them at a reasonable price. Then, of course, you'll get to fight off that nagging suspicion that you've been had -all the fun you've come to expect as a collector!
I tell myself I buy these for the kaiju but another, stronger voice says that, with the purchase of this kind of pap, It's too late for simple excuses.

When we hear the word "clone," most of us think of "Dolly" the sheep. She was the first mammal cloned from an adult cell. Dolly was born in 1996 and was put to sleep in 2003 due to a lung tumor. Although they may not be as well known, other creatures have been created by cloning after Dolly. For example, in 2007, scientists in South Korea cloned Turkish Angora cats. The scientists not only succeeded in cloning the cats but also successfully modified their genes to produce red fluorescent protein. So when ultraviolet light was held over them, the cats glowed red.
One may wonder the benefit of making animals glow. Scientists sometimes modify cells with a gene that produce fluorescent proteins as a marker of genetic change in cloned animals. It was also previously done for cloned pigs, for example. In the case of the cloned cats, South Korean scientists used skin cells of a Turkish Angora cat and encoded for a coral fluorescent protein before cloning. Proponents believe that cloned animals can be beneficial in the study and cure of genetic diseases while others oppose cloning on ethical grounds.

IT Services for Recruitment
Having spent over a decade working with recruitment businesses of all sizes, Xara Computers fully appreciate how vital it is in the fast paced world of recruitment to implement IT solutions that will allow your top fee earners to generate maximum revenue. We know that time is money in the recruitment industry, and with recruiters having short windows of opportunity to do business and facing fierce competition, there is no room for IT systems that don't deliver 100% of the time.
Our specialist knowledge of recruitment software, and the way recruitment agencies operate, has allowed us to develop the XC360 for Recruitment private cloud platform which provides recruitment consultancies with a fully managed remote desktop running all their own agency's software. This allows their fee earners to work and collaborate in real-time, from any location, using any computer, laptop or tablet.
Whilst many recruitment agencies already use cloud technology to run individual software applications, the XC360 takes things a step further, by delivering all the benefits of cloud computing across the whole of your agency's IT infrastructure, serving to offer network infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and drive efficiencies in terms of both time and money.
In addition, the XC360 cloud telephony solution allows fee earners to take their office phone number with them wherever they go, ensuring they never miss an important call.
Benefits of XC360 for Recruitment Agencies
In addition, those agencies looking to gain further cost efficiencies can also benefit from the optional addition of XC360 print management – typically reducing ongoing printing costs by around 30%.
Full training is provided on all our solutions, while expert help and advice is available from our London-based helpdesk and field support team.
Unlike many cloud computing providers, XC360 for Recruitment is provided from our ISO 27001 security certified datacentres based exclusively in the UK, giving our clients the peace of mind that their confidential client data is not ever transferred to other jurisdictions.
If you would like to explore how XC360 can help your recruitment agency stay one step ahead of the competition by maximizing your fee earning potential and minimizing your IT overheads, please do not hesitate to contact us on 0208 732 5656 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Sign up to our newsletter and gain instant access to our online library of exclusive cloud guides to help you find the best service and benchmark your cloud provider.

LONDON: Oil prices fell on Friday after Brent rallied to just below $60 a barrel the previous session but support from Saudi Arabia's crown prince for extending OPEC-led output cuts created a floor.
Brent fell 38 cents to $58.92 a barrel by 1215 GMT, after Thursday's rise to $59.55, its highest since July 2015 and more than 30 percent above its 2017 lows touched in June.
U.S. light crude oil was down 28 cents at $52.36 but still 25 percent above its June low. U.S. crude prices have been capped by rising U.S. production.
Oil prices have been hovering near their highest levels for this year amid recent signs of a tightening market, talk of an extension of production cuts and tensions in Iraq.
Friday's announcement of ceasefire between Iraqi forces and the Peshmerga from the country's autonomous northern Kurdish region eased some concerns.
"Yesterday we saw the expiry of Brent options, and like last month it pushed up prices near $60 ... now it's just correcting lower," Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix consultancy said, adding that the market reacted slowly to bullish Saudi comments.
Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman told Reuters on Thursday the kingdom would support extending the output cut in a bid to stabilise oil demand and supply.
"If OPEC and their non-OPEC partners can agree to extend their production curtailments through 2018, then we estimate the oil market will remain in modest under-supply until 2019," U.S. Investment bank Jefferies said.
Also Read: Oil prices edge up amid Saudi support for extended supply cut
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and some non-OPEC producers including Russia have pledged to reduce production by around 1.8 million barrels per day (bpd) until the end of March 2018 to drain a global supply glut.
OPEC is expected to discuss extending that agreement at a meeting in Vienna on Nov. 30. Rising U.S. crude production remains an issue for OPEC as it strives to clear a global overhang.
U.S. crude production rose by 1.1 million bpd to 9.5 million bpd in the week ended Oct. 20, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) data.

Working at Aranca is all about helping clients, from different parts of the world, to solve diverse universes of challenging problems, and to make decisions fearlessly. Our teams work with our global customers to deliver impactful results across geographies and multiple time-zones – both remotely and onsite.
Ujjal Deb Roy
"Working onsite is perhaps the best possible way to build trust, openness and shared values. I truly enjoyed every moment working with the core team, senior management, client's business partners and external consultants from all over the world. I hope this will add a lot to my professional development."
Devarshi Mehta
"Onsite research at Taiwan helped me gain thorough insights and understand nitty-gritties about a rather difficult subject. The primary research also helped me improve communication skills. The project ensured that we utilize all the available platforms to deliver comprehensive and in-depth report to the client."
John Minett
"While based at New York, during my tenure at Aranca, I've had the good fortune to work with some of the world's most interesting, multi-national corporations on a dizzying array of research initiatives. Aranca's consistent excellence is characterized throughout by a 'unity of purpose,' and I'm proud to be a part of it all."
Our analysts not only witness our diverse yet tightly coupled practices at play to help clients make business critical decisions, they also get to upscale their knowledge by leveraging cross-practice project opportunities. Our teams experience a wide-spectrum of cross-practice growth to scale out their skillsets.
Prateek Bhatia
"While working with diverse yet tightly coupled practices, Valuation and Transaction Advisory, I got an opportunity to enhance my knowledge by leveraging cross-practice project opportunities. For me to handle multiple end to end projects for valuations team and the chance to be a part of growing transaction practice, was a different and a great learning experience. This opportunity to be a part of cross-practice growth initiatives has helped me scale up my skillset."
Siddharth Jaiswal
"Aranca offered me an opportunity to enhance my skill sets and knowledge when I shifted from the Business Research practice to the Transaction Advisory. This move is making me test my mettle in greater and more dynamic roles within the company and is giving me a stage to further improve and develop new learnings."
Our teams enjoy the flexibility to not only increase the depth of their domain knowledge, but also grow laterally across the organization. Insights garnered and knowledge developed across functions can be applied practically to enable holistic personal and professional growth.
Nikhil Salvi
"My understanding of the capital markets from the asset management point of view grew rapidly in Aranca by working for leading global asset managers. I also got the chance to explore cross functional skills in areas of training and development, content marketing, global media interaction and to support business development activities."
Manpreet Singh
"After 8 years in the Valuation Practice, I was looking for a change of experience. Interestingly, along with doing business valuations, I was also actively involved with sales team to grow our practice and identifying new business ideas to generate additional revenue streams. Later, I readily took up the opportunity of Business Development full time. It's been a year into the new role, and I am happy to say that I was right in making the decision!"
Harveen Gandhi
"When I joined Aranca, it was a new experience as I had no clue about this industry. I started with valuation sales and learned about 409A services. It's been a good experience since then as I moved to different roles during my stint here. Currently, it involves a lot of interesting stuff starting from database responsibility to initiating calls to managing revenue pipeline of the sales department. It's nice to develop such an organizational view."

Perhaps one of the greatest challenges we may face one day (if we haven't already) is to be with someone who knows they only have a limited time left to live. How do we comfort such a person without suffering our self and identifying our self with this person? For, if we suffer with them, we would need comforting our self and hence cannot offer an authentic comfort to them. We could comfort them with idea underpinning many religious, spiritual philosophies and near or return from death experiences.
Death is the 'nature's way' of allowing all living spices to exist on the Earth. We all have to gracefully surrender to nature, to death that is a doorway to another life, a new chapter; it is the nature's way of liberating us from pain and transitioning us to a new beginning. It is the cause of celebration, not sorrow. It is the nature's way of renewing the nature.
The fear of what is going to happen at the time of death is not the fear of unknown but a fear of leaving behind and losing all that was known, owned and held on to, such as our body, property, memories, etc. A wise old saying that goes something like this – if you die before you die then when you die you don't die! Thus if, all attachment is consciously released before the moment (of death) when the 'I' has to say goodbye, then slipping out of the awareness of this past life, moving on from all that was accumulated, is easy and painless and entirely liberating.
Everything happens for a reason and there is benefit in everything, including the time of death. Known arrival of death gives a person a chance to tie up loose ends. It is a window of opportunity to say a loving farewell to everyone and leave the legacy of a memory in everyone's mind of how to die with grace and dignity, how to move on with love in their heart and light in their eyes. Some people may not be open to seeing this 'opportunity' to say sorry, or say good luck, or say goodbye or say I love you.
In the true story of the woman whose husband died and said the first thing when came back to life, "Death is wonderful. No one should fear death!" Almost all of the 'near death' and 'return from death' experiences, share the same theme that there is a radiant, unconditionally loving light awaiting to embrace and enfold them once the person leaves their mortal coil. But their scepticism may still be too great to hear such stories.
Alternatively, you could simply hold their hand; sit with them in silence as a detached observer giving love to them. It is an invitation for them to join you, then all resistance comes to an end and a quiet acceptance takes its place. A serene and peaceful passing is then much more likely. There may even be a shared moment of joy.

The Effect of Promotion and Market Share Enhancement on the Nigerian Banking Industries.
The financial services industry has undergone substantial changes from regulatory, technological, cultural and economical forces, among others. One of the most serious results of these changes is the need for financial service companies to be marketing-oriented. Marketing oriented companies places emphasis on their clients and customers' needs and wants, and determines how these needs and wants can be beneficially served. A necessary component of marketing orientation is a strong programme for developing products (services).
Marketing activities and markets are ever changing, but the fundamental philosophy of marketing is fairly constant. Marketing changes any business, including financial services businesses. Substantial changes in financial service businesses have been witnessed in form of fund-transfer technologies, structural reforms of financial institutions, and intense competition through the introduction of myriad of products, among others.
The rising relevance of marketing in the financial service industry expedited the observed changes in financial service businesses. In an increasingly competitive and the change-prone Nigerian financial service environment, the efficient and effective practice of strategic marketing should be recognized as a salient corporate goal.
Marketing of financial services, therefore, entails the marketing of the services of the financial sub-sectors. These include the services of the Commercial banks, Merchant banks, Central Bank, Bureau de change, saving and Loans companies, Mortgage institutions, Discount House, Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), Finance House, Nigerian Stock Exchange and other financial institutions.
Broadly speaking, banking business is concerned with the offering of services, which include deposit collection, financial services, monetary transmission, credit services, foreign exchange services, among others. To offer these services efficiently and effectively to clients, corporate marketing managers must understand and practice marketing (Berry, 1974).
Marketing practice has changed Nigerian banks in recent times as bank executives are motivated to source deposit from clients. Effective bank marketing starts with a bank's clients, and seeks to create mutually –satisfying exchange relationship between a bank and its clients. This can be achieved through corporate marketing activities.
With the dynamic nature of banking operation in the world, for bank to achieve its organizational goal of profitability and growth, the issue of marketing can not be over emphasized. The bank's fundamental role of financial intermediation and other functions expected of the bank which will serve as a source of income which will bring about profitability and growth to the organization can not be achieved without effective marketing. This is due to the level of competition in the industry, and the nature of bank business. In marketing its services, banks must attract depositor on one hand, and attract borrower and users of its services on the other hand. This double-sided nature of bank services brings marketing problems, which are more complex than those which normally, face marketers of other physical products.
The decade has seen banking industry goes through enormous changes, and the process is far from over. In the researcher's strong view, in the years ahead there will be further pressures on the shape of banks, the way business is carried out, and also for less certain ones because is not the job-for-life as used to be. All this means that bank must be keenly attained to the needs of providing customers with the right services and imbuing them with the necessary standards. The role of marketing in this regard is enormous. Banks wanting to be on the top have to consolidate on marketing strategies or merge into over larger groups to meet competitive challenges...

Article : Day Two of International Contact Center Week
It's day two of International Contact Center Week and we at ContactCenterWorld.com invite you to participate alongside this week-long global event which celebrates our industry. Here are some activities and suggestions for you to take part in today.
This year we partnered with TopPlace2Work.com - it's one of the best ways to measure Employee Engagement instantly and it's available in over 16 languages! Find out more at www.TopPlace2work.com
It's only day 2 so let's take it easy with these fun events.
Backwards Day
Tools required: nil
Cost: nil
Time away from phones: Nil
Invite staff to come to work wear their clothes backwards! It's a lot of fun!
Pot Luck Culture Cook-Out
Tools required: Only imagination from your team and some paper plates/cutlery
Cost: Nil - unless you want to offer a prize for best dish!
Time away from the phones: Nil – arrange during lunch breaks
You probably have a mix of cultures in your center so organize a pot luck cook out where anyone interested can create and bring in something from their home town/nation or just something unique and everyone gets to share and experience the delights. It's a great way to celebrate culture and everyone loves to sample some food!
Trivia Competition – Based On Your Company, Your Products and/or Services
Tools required: paper and some pens
Cost: Nil - unless you want to offer a prize
Time away from the phones: 15 – 30 minutes. A little more if you have heats
Who are the brains behind the operation? Find out with our Trivia Competition! Create a series of questions for each team and be sure to add some tough ones for a fun challenge.
Have teams work together or individually. If they get it wrong, pass the same question onto the next team. If both teams cannot answer correctly, give them the answer and move onto another question. Harder questions can be worth a few points, while the easier questions can be worth only one. The team with the most points at the end of the competition is the winner!
Remember to base the quiz on what your company does that way everyone will benefit whilst having some fun!
Mini Basketball Shootout
Tools required: portable basketball net or bin/garbage can (clean) and ball
Cost: Nil - unless you want to offer a prize
Time away from the phones: 5 – 10 minutes. A little more if you have heats
Time to get your game on. See which team is the best at shooting hoops by setting up a small basketball net or garbage can. Have each team take turns shooting (or tossing) a basketball or any type of ball into the respective net or garbage can and each successful toss results in a point. One person from the first team has a turn, and after their shot (hit or miss) the first person from the NEXT team has a turn. After each person from each team has had a turn, the points should be tallied. The team who has the most points is the winner!
Darts Competition
Tools Required: Dart board & darts
Cost: Nil - unless you want to offer a prize
Time away from the phones: 10 – 20 minutes.
A little more if you have heats.
Concentration and finesse is a must for this competition! Set up a dart board and have your teams compete to see who gets closest to the target. Much like the Basketball Shootout, each member of each team gets a turn tossing a dart at the dartboard, aiming for the center. Have a scorekeeper and get them to record the points.
Host a Meditation Class
Tools required: quiet area and instructor
Cost: cost of an instructor (maybe one of your staff can teach this!)
Time away from the phones: 20 minutes.
This is a very beneficial way to teach your staff to take some time during each day to rejuvenate and relax the mind and body. A class can teach everyone to better communicate, and can drastically reduce a stressful aura in the office.
Other Day Two Activities May Include:
- Best dressed sports fan
- Food Court Friday – sharing food from staff
- Mustache day - men and women wear a fake
- Lost socks day - everyone goes to work with different socks in each feet. Decorate your contact center with different socks.

I'm going to keep this blog post short and sweet so you can get to manifesting everything you want even faster! Let's get right into it:
1. Give, give, give! Whatever it is you most want- love, money, health- give it away and do it happily; you will immediately become more magnetic to whatever you want.
2. Be grateful now! Whatever is happening or not happening in your life right now stop and feel truly grateful for everything as is.
3. Detach from your desired outcome: this ties in with being grateful for everything and everyone in your life as it is right now. Desire what you desire yet do not attach any need to it. Just…
4. …Be happy now! Smile, laugh, talk to your uplifting friend, read something that makes you feel good, pet your dog, just do whatever it takes to get happy now!!! Feeling happy = attracting happy.
5. Exercise: run in place, walk, go to the gym; just get moving! Even small amounts of exercise can make you feel more energized and give you an endorphin rush so move it!
6. Do a random act of kindness anonymously: just try doing this without feeling good about yourself. I dare you 🙂
7. Think pure positive thoughts, as if soemthing you want has already happened for 68 seconds: this is one of my favorite Abraham-Hicks processes. This will send out and attract back like vibrations and really speed up the attracting process. Go to Abraham-Hicks.com for more info if you're not familiar with them.
8. Meditate: sit down, close your eyes, and just breathe….do this for at least 5 minutes, longer if you can.
9. Visualize! In as much detail as you can pick one area of your life and visualize it the way you want it to be. Do this for 5-10 minutes a day for 40 days (or longer); you will be amazed at what happens!
10. Drink! Wait, what did I just say? Yes, drink. In moderation (I.e. one or two glasses of wine). With friends. Meaning have fun! Don't get me wrong this is not me giving you my blessing to get drunk (it most certainly is NOT). This is me telling you to have fun and going out and having a few drinks with friends occasionally, laughing together can be a lot of fun. Just do whatever is fun for you! Having fun (safely!) = attracting fun.
So there you have it- 10 easy ways to attract whatever you want faster. As always feel free to leave a comment and share your successes with me.
Happy manifesting and until next time just remember….you are magnificent!

Two of the three London Bridge terrorists have been named by Scotland Yard as Khuram Shazad Butt and Rachid Redouane.
Butt, 27, a British citizen who was born in Pakistan, is thought to have featured in a controversial Channel 4 documentary last year.
He was known to the police and MI5, Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley confirmed, but there was no intelligence to suggest that this attack was being planned, it added.
Redouane, 30, had claimed to be Moroccan and Libyan. Sky News is reporting an Irish ID card was found on Redouane, who was not known to police.
Both are from Barking. The third attacker has yet to be named.
In footage that could raise difficult questions for the security services, Butt is shown in a programme called The Jihadis Next Door, where he is seen with an Islamic State flag in Regent's park trying to radicalise children.
The Channel 4 programme shows Butt, initially named as Abz, at an event with Mohammed Shamsuddin - thought to be the 'new Jihadi John' - who speaks of the "real possibility" that the Islamic State flag will one day fly over Downing Street.
The footage was shot by the broadcaster in January 2014, nine months before Dhar was arrested by counter-terrorism police. He later skipped bail and was thought to have travelled abroad to Syria with his wife and four children.
The trio, wearing fake suicide bomb vests, were shot dead by eight officers outside a pub after police opened fire with an "unprecedented" hail of 50 bullets. One was carrying an identity card issued in Ireland when he was shot dead, security sources in Dublin said.
Seven people were killed in the attacks in London on Saturday night and 48 people are in hospital, with 21 fighting for their lives.
Pedestrians were mowed down by a van on London Bridge before attackers stabbed a police officer and revellers around Borough Market. One of the attackers shouted "this is for Allah" as he knifed a man near a pub - while the Islamic State militant group claimed its fighters carried out the attack.
Officers arrested a dozen people in raids on flats in Barking, east London, on Monday morning where residents said they believed one of the terrorists may have lived.
The Sun quoted a friend of Butt - again using his Abz moniker - as saying he called police about the 27-year-old's extremist views which were said to have been ignited by YouTube videos.
The source, who has not been named, said he contacted police in Barking, east London, after the Watford-born married father-of-two discussed Islamic State-inspired terror attacks. One of Butt's children was three, the other just months old.
He told BBC's Asian Network the jihadi had become radicalised after watching clips of US hate preacher Ahmad Musa Jibril.
He said: "He used to listen to a lot of Musa Jibril. I have heard some of this stuff and it's very radical. I am surprised this stuff is still on YouTube and is easily accessible.
"I phoned the anti-terror hotline. I spoke to the gentleman. I told him about our conversation and why I think he was radicalised."
After confirming Butt was allowed to keep his passport and was not arrested, he added: "I did my bit, I know a lot of other people did their bit, but the authorities did not do their bit."
The BBC stressed in a report on the Today Programme on Monday that the claim could not be verified and needed to be considered in the context of the 22,000 calls the anti-terrorism hotline received last year alone.
Meanwhile, the family of Butt have reportedly asked to be left alone to "grieve in peace". The Sun quoted the killer's brother-in-law as saying his family did not know what was going on and requesting space to mourn.
The newspaper said Butt was the terrorist pictured lying dead in an Arsenal shirt outside the Wheatsheaf pub, after being killed by police. He was said to have been born in Pakistan but was brought up in the UK.
It further claimed that Butt was a former Transport for London, Topshop and KFC worker and had appeared in Channel 4 documentary The Jihadis Next Door, where he was seen trying to radicalise children in his local park.
A friend told The Sun: "Back then he had a reputation for being a bit shady and taking drugs."
The source added: "But all that changed when he became radicalised.
"He began stopping his neighbours in the street and asking them if they had been saying their prayers and when they had been to the mosque."
Erica Gasparri was further quoted in the Daily Record as saying she had also raised concerns about Butt. She said he used to sit in a park opposite Northbury Primary School in Barking with two other men and talk to local children.
The mum-of-three said Butt would offer the kids sweets and claim to be "teaching them about religion".
Another local who knew the attacker said he was kicked out of a mosque last year for supporting IS. MailOnline reported that Butt was thrown out of the Jabir Bin Zayd mosque in Barking after interrupting a sermon to say that voting in the general election was "un-Islamic".
The manager of the mosque, who did not want to give his name, told the website that Abz halted the iman who was advising the community to vote. "He started saying that voting was un-Islamic and we shouldn't do it," the manager said.

Les Richter Again Nominated for NASCAR Hall of Fame
SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, Calif. (April 10, 2013) -- Les "Coach" Richter, who was instrumental in the development of Auto Club Speedway, from the demolition of the historic Kaiser Steel Mill, to its transformation into a first-class racing facility, has been nominated again as one of 25 nominees for the 2014 NASCAR Hall of Fame's induction class, the NASCAR Hall of Fame Nominating Committee announced today. Richter, who passed away in 2010, was also a nominee for the 2012 and 2013 classes.
Five inductees will be elected by the NASCAR Hall of Fame Voting Panel, which includes a nationwide fan vote on NASCAR.COM. Voting Day for the 2014 class will be May 22. Fans can attend the announcement at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, N.C.
Richter, a native of Fresno, Calif., was an All-American linebacker and guard at the University of California Berkeley and played for the Los Angeles Rams from 1954 to 1962 after being acquired from the Dallas Texans for 11 players. The defensive star was picked for the Pro Bowl eight times and was an Associated Press first team All-Pro in 1956.
"Coach" joined the NASCAR family in 1983 after a successful second career as president and general manager of Riverside (Calif.) International Raceway. Richter soon evolved into one of the most important advisors to then-NASCAR Chairman/CEO Bill France Jr. as NASCAR's popularity expanded. Richter was named NASCAR's Ex. VP of Competition in 1986 and the Sr. VP of Operations in 1992.
Richter previously was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame, the College Football Hall of Fame as well as the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America. Richter also served as vice-president of special projects for International Speedway Corporation, the parent company of Auto Club Speedway. The current trophy for the Auto Club 400 is named the "Richter Trophy" as a lasting tribute to his contributions to Auto Club Speedway and the world of motorsports.
This round of nominees was selected by a 21-person Nominating Committee consisting of representatives from NASCAR, the NASCAR Hall of Fame and track owners from both major facilities and historic short tracks. The committee's votes were tabulated by accounting firm Ernst & Young.
The NASCAR Hall of Fame's 2014 inductees will be determined by a 54-member Voting Panel, which includes the entire Nominating Committee, media members, manufacturer representatives, retired competitors (drivers, owners and crew chiefs) and recognized industry leaders. In addition, the fan vote will result in the Voting Panel's final ballot. Fan voting on NASCAR.COM opens today, April 10 and closes May 21 at noon.
In addition to Richter, following are the other 25 nominees, listed alphabetically:

Listen To Help is a campaign I designed during my time at BBH London.
Sound Seekers, a charity dedicated to helping deaf and hearing impaired people in the developing world, wanted to drive fundraising among a young and digital native target audience.
The Listen to Help campaign aims to help those who can hear to raise money for those who can't.
On Spotify, artists receive a royalty every time someone plays one of their songs, so we had the idea that if we could create a track without an artist to receive royalties, then the earnings would go directly to the charity.
The track called 'Just Listen', is a short 35 second track of a man describing the project's uniquely simple fundraising mechanic. Just by listening to the track you have made a donation to Sound Seekers.
A campaign even Spotify's founder, Daniel Ek, tweeted about.
The result? Listen to Help turned a medium for listeners into a medium to help support those who can't hear, creating the world's first global fundraising campaign on Spotify.

Massachusetts Government Act
Following the Boston Tea Party, the citizens of Massachusetts continued to assert their independence of royal control. After the Massachusetts legislature appointed a committee of correspondence, Governor Hutchinson challenged their right to make such appointments. In reply, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and others drafted a reply, which read in part:
Your excellency is pleased to inform the two houses that you are required to signify to them His Majesty's disapprobation of the appointment of committees of correspondence, in various instances, which sit and act during the recess of the General Court by prorogation. You are not pleased to explain to us the grounds and reasons of His Majesty's disapprobation; until we shall have such explanation laid before us, a full answer to this part of your speech will not be expected from us. We cannot, however, omit saying upon this occasion that while the common rights of the American subjects continue to be attacked in various instances, and at times when the several assemblies are not sitting, it is highly necessary that they should correspond with each other in order to unite in the most effectual means for the obtaining a redress of their grievances.
Increasingly, the view from Britain was the Massachusetts represented the epicenter of resistance to royal control. Lord Dartmouth, secretary of state for the colonies, wrote to Governor Gage (who had succeeded Hutchinson) in April, setting out the challenge:
His Majesty trusts that no opposition will, or can, with any effect, be made to the carrying the law into execution, nor any violence or insult offered to those to whom the execution of it is entrusted. Should it happen otherwise, your authority as the first Magistrate, combined with the command over the King' s troops, will, it is hoped, enable you to meet every opposition, and fully to preserve the public peace, by employing those troops with effect, should the madness of the people, on the one hand, or the timidity or want of strength of the peace officers on the other hand, make it necessary to have recourse to their assistance.
By May, Parliament had had enough, and passed the Coercive Acts. The Massachusetts Government Act, passed on May 20, 1774, effectively abrogated the colony�s charter and provided for an unprecedented amount of royal control. Severe limits were placed on the powers of town meetings, the essential ingredient of American self-government. Further, most elective offices in the colony were to be filled with royal appointees, not with popularly elected officials.

Existing trainings on information security are theoretical. Provided by experts, they create poor engagement from employees whom consider that this matter is not part of their job. Fraud and data leaks multiplication lead organization to experiment new ways to engage non experts in best practices adoption.
Serious game is a new innovative concept that increases player implication and strengthen message learning. Proposing security cases to non expert employees to test their behavior help them to understand impact of best practices.
Getzem company is created in France to design the first serious game of information security awareness
RuleIS helped GetZem founder to refine original idea and specify details of the first serious game on information security awareness. This game was sold on plans to a major french group, bypassing normal funding.
GetZem is currently extending its offer in building other innovative learning tools to anchor security messages for non expert actors.

The Director-General meets with the Bulgarian Minister of Foreign Affairs
On 10 October 2013, Ms Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO, received H.E. Mr. Kristian Vigenin, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bulgaria.
"Your visit to UNESCO occurs at an important moment in the life of the Organization, when the on-going session of the Executive Board is examining the strategy, programme and policies that will guide our work in the years to come", said Ms Bokova, in welcoming the Minister during his first visit to the Organization's Headquarters.
The Director-General thanked Minister Vigenin for Bulgaria's support to UNESCO as well as to her reform policy. She paid tribute to Bulgaria's emerging role as a donor country and underscored the positive impact that the extra-budgetary projects funded through the Bulgarian Funds-In-Trust have been making in beneficiary countries in the Caribbean, with Arab States and in sub-Saharan Africa.
The Director-General discussed with Mr Vigenin key topics and future priorities for the Organization, which will be examined during the forthcoming 37th session of the General Conference.
Minister Vigenin congratulated Ms Bokova on her nomination by the Executive Board for a new mandate as UNESCO Director-General. He reiterated Bulgaria's steadfast support to the Organization, especially in the current financially-challenging period. Speaking on programmatic cooperation, he reaffirmed Bulgaria's determination to strengthen this partnership through the Regional Centre for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in Southeast Europe, opened in Sofia in 2012.

Brett Favre Epitomizes Why We Put Up With Superstars
October 19, 2010 12 Comments
Sexting, sex addiction, dog fighting, careless gun handling and everything else in between always give people something to talk about around the water cooler. Athlete and superstar haters want to question our morals when we put up with this behaviour, but on Sunday afternoon Brett Favre showed us why you can't blame us for accepting these "heroes."
For the past two weeks, the story that I'm sure any football fan or gossip lover has heard about are the rumours surrounding Brett Favre's apparent attempted "seduction" of former New York Jets sideline reporter Jenn Sterger. The fact that Brett Favre supposedly did these deeds is not the only surprise, but our notion of Favre as the simple, likeable, country family man was essentially crushed by these allegations. Many people have shown their disgust for Favre and have even gone to such extreme measures as jumping off his fan-train.
Favre gives every reason for people to hate on him with his constant wishy-washy retirement soap-opera, but on the field he makes you forget about everything else. Sunday night, amidst all the controversy, cortisone shot to nullify his elbow tendonitis and the hype surrounding the "Panic Bowl," Favre led the Vikings to a 24-21 victory in a game that could end up being the biggest of their season.
It wasn't his statistics that were most impressive though (14-19, 118 yds, 1 TD, 106.9 passer rating), it was all the other things that we constantly take for granted when watching Brett Favre. Throughout the game, Favre was consistently hit, knocked down, and hurried by the front four of the Cowboy's defence.
Troy Aikman during the broadcast just seemed in awe of the ability of Favre to keep getting back up hit after hit and game after game. We all know about his Cal Ripken-like streak of consecutive games, and to keep it going at 41 years of age is something we might never again see in sports. If you don't respect him as a person, you have to respect the way he plays. He puts it on the line every game and is one of the most electrifying players that the game has seen.
Up by 3 points with time winding down in the biggest game of the year, Favre attempted a throw to Randy Moss in the end zone against double coverage. Most players couldn't fathom making that throw under normal circumstances, but with the game on the line Favre didn't think twice and made a perfect pass that only Moss could catch and probably one that he should have come up with. The gunslinger, a risk taker, that's what Favre is.
Should we be expecting anything less from the man known on the field as a risk taker and daredevil? Guys like Brett Favre have their lives revolving around risk taking, it's in their nature and there is so much more that goes on behind the scenes that we don't hear about. I can guarantee you sexting isn't the worst of it.
Current Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick gave a middle finger to fans during his time in Atlanta, was sent to prison for dog fighting, and yet we are still cheer the "Underdog.".
The thing is, I think you can make a legitimate case for Michael Vick being the most electrifying quarterback of all-time. Obviously not the bes, but the most exhilarating to watch. If you don't agree with that assessment that's fine, however there is no denying how exciting he is to watch, which is why fans tune in each week just to watch Vick play since the day he became the starter in Atlanta.
When these superstar athletes are producing and entertaining us fans on the field, we can pretend to be appalled by their indiscretions off the field, but in reality we could care less. Once these guys stop entertaining and thrilling us on the field, their off the field issues suddenly become less prominent and thus a relative non-issue. Either way we don't really bother ourselves with what they're doing off the field.
Would you care if it was Kellen Clemens who had sexted Jenn Sterger?
The NFL has to show some authority by putting forth an investigation in the Brett Favre saga. Despite that, you know that Roger Goodell doesn't mind it as long as it doesn't mean he has to suspend Favre.
Brett Favre + Sexting + Fans + Green Bay Packers = Big Fat Ratings. Now that's the NFL's kind of mathematical equation
On Sunday night Brett Favre was tough, resilient, victorious and most importantly entertaining. He exemplified everything it means to be a superstar athlete, leader and hero. You wonder why we put up with superstar athletes; well just take a look at Brett Favre's resume.
