Join Mike Meyers for an in-depth discussion in this video Hard drives, part of CompTIA A+ (220-901) Cert Prep: 2 Core Hardware.
- This is a hard drive.…Well, actually, this is a very old ATA…80-gigabyte hard drive, and the reason I'm using…an old hard drive is because this is the outside…of the drive, and this is the inside.…In this episode, Hard Drives, we're going to be…talking about this wonderful technology that's been around…for decades and has been the primary form of mass storage…for PCs for, well, pretty much since the beginning.…Now before we get too far into this, I want to get…some terms down, in particular, the term hard drive.…
A hard drive, or as CompTIA calls it, a magnetic drive;…or as I still call it, a spindle drive,…is this type of technology where we have…some form of rotational media.…In this case, it's these beautiful platters…and these platters actually store the data…with a little bit of magnetism;…and then we have that little voice coil, read/write head…going back and forth, which is both reading and writing data…on the fly.…Now if we take a look at the other side of this hard drive,…what you're gonna see is a bunch of electronics,…
The CompTIA A+ 220-901 exam is comprised of six key parts. The second, core hardware, is covered by this course. Instructor Mike Meyers explains the essential components and functions of motherboards, power supplies, and hard drives. He also shows you how to work with chipsets, troubleshoot electrical issues, implement RAID, and how to determine which hard drive technology to use depending on the circumstance.
Note: The six courses designed for the CompTIA A+ (220-901) exam preparation include core processing, core hardware, peripherals and building a PC, displays and printers, networking, and laptops and mobile devices.

Hi Gilbert
Not sure if anyone has shared with you about recruitment agency charging high monthly administrative charges from their contracted staff.
I could not find a permanent job in the job markets since…crossing the age of 35. Plus most jobs offered by these MNCs with contract positions go to majorities of us, Singaporeans whereas the permanent positions go to foreigners.
I have no choice but to contact numerous recruitment agencies to assist me for job finding. Usually recruitment agencies assign employees like us to provide professional, support or services as defined in the assignment made under a contract.
I am currently working on a yearly renewal contract in a respectable Multi-national company.
My recruitment agency will bill their client on monthly basis. I found out I was paid 80% monthly salary for my contract in 2013.
They pocketed 20% monthly to cover their so called administrative expenses. For renewal contract in 2014, they pocket 24% and I got 76% for my monthly salary.
Yes, I did have an increment for my renewal contract for 2014. However, 24% for an administrative role is hell lots of money!! Why should my recruitment agency draws so much money on me? I felt like a slave!!!!
My previous job was also through a local small recruitment agency. I remembered they charged a minimum flat rate of administrative fee to their client on monthly basis throughout my several renewal contracts.
Why are their administrative charges and amounts can vary between recruitment agencies?
No wonder there are so many local and foreign recruitment agencies setting up in Singapore. One good example is Encora Technologies. It is definitely a good money-generating business (editor: Veron's contractor Encora took 40% of the fees paid by AT & T).
Once their client is happy with the performance of their contracted staff, they will just sit back and collect monthly fee. That's easy money!!! These suckers, recruitment agencies will not protect us.
They just replace us once their client stop the contract. Not sure if our MOM will come out with any regulation or establish a standardized administrative fee pricing structure to protect contract staff, "slaves" like me.

monclerjacketscoats.org.uk – So, who can resist the luxury of Moncler Jackets? This is one of the most luxurious brands in the world that everybody is craving for it. This is why many sellers fake it and when you ask them its authenticity, of course, they will tell you it is 100% Authentic! The thing is you cannot easily differentiate it because all fake Moncler jackets have all the necessary features from the Lampo zippers and the authenticity tags. So, to help you identify it, here are some tips you can use.
Logo – The first feature you need to identify is the logo. It is so easy to duplicate it and the ugly truth is it is so accurate. However, of course, there is one thing that differentiates a fake Moncler or not. The original has the symmetrical cut and with a neat embroidered letters.
Meanwhile, the fake Moncler is made of different locations so it has no consistency. Even the color of the logo is not consistent.
Authenticity Tags – All Moncler products have authenticity tags either a QR code or certilogo. If you don't find this authenticity tags, then the seller tells you there are certain regulations in reselling region this is a lie. Don't believe them!
Moncler since 2013, in fact, include a hologram QR code in each product. Last 2016, the company renew the QR code tag so keep in mind you always look at it. The tag is made of satin with Moncler adhered to it. Before the QR code is so small so it is not easy to notice it.
Also Read : How To Take Care Moncler Jackets Properly
However, you cannot rely on the QR code because many fake Moncler can imitate it. Moncler made a mistake for stopping the Certiligo tags. This company will help to track the codes where it is checked and how often.
Online Shopping – With the increase of internet, online shopping is growing rapidly. Therefore it is easy to find Moncler Jackets everywhere. But of course, not all of them are authentic. Some people claim it is a second-hand product and they want to sell it. But never trust this, even though they sell it cheaper.
So, the only way to get the original product from Moncler is only visiting their official websites. Don't trust any other website or reseller outside of their official website.
Besides, keep in mind that some Moncler products are limited and will be available in certain seasons.

Three Ottawa fashionistas are tickled pink about their new business — an e-markeplace site called PinkTiger.com that sells chic Canadian fashions and accessories.
Pink Tiger website is ready to roar, selling fashion and accessories
Three Ottawa fashionistas are tickled pink about their new business — an e-markeplace site called Pink Tiger that sells chic Canadian fashions and accessories.
For months, mother and daughter Sue Norton and Jenn Wood and Terri Hoddinott have been laying the groundwork for their site, which went live Oct. 14, by reaching out to emerging and veteran designers across the country. More than 100 have signed on to promote and sell their creations through PinkTiger.com. The impressive site currently boasts exquisite pieces by 30 designers from Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Ottawa featuring men's and women's apparel, glitzy evening gowns, jewelry, scarves, bow ties and more. Secured partnerships include Karen McClintock, Narces, Zarucci, Turbine Design, Kania Couture and Beaucoup FH, among others.
The business is the brainchild of Norton, who has a lengthy IT background and is the co-owner of Alcea Technologies Inc. The longtime volunteer is passionate about fashion and philanthropy and was always keen to combine the two if the opportunity arose.
A portion of all sales from Pink Tiger will go toward a program called Random Acts of Kindness, which will see a 'Tiger Team' engaging in goodwill acts. Their first event took place Oct. 10 at Hope Living Kanata, a 99-bed supported living facility operated by the Shepherds of Good Hope, where they offered manicures, mini-makeovers and morning coffee to the women living there.
"Our entire team has decades of experience doing charity work, so it's a natural fit for us to allocate a portion of profits to giving back to the community," says Norton, who recently received a degree in Internet marketing from the University of San Francisco.
Designers pay a small monthly package fee to promote their products and Pink Tiger receives a five-per-cent commission on each item sold.
"Our website is a great platform for designers who aren't always savvy when it comes to marketing. There is so much hidden talent in Canada," says Norton, adding that they have plans to hire an online stylist and would like to sell pet and children's clothing in the future.
The Pink Tigers, who all volunteer for Look Good Feel Better for cancer patients, will be on hand at the Big Fashion Sale by Quebec Designers Oct. 31 to Nov. 2 at the Hilton Lac Leamy. Founded in 1994 by Anne de Shalla, the sale, also known as Braderie, offers fashionistas the opportunity to shop for clothes at deeply discounted prices.
"We will have a presence at the sale and will also be able to network with designers," says Hoddinott, a mother of three and tireless volunteer, who recently climbed Mount Kilimanjaro for SOS Children's Villages.
"We want to be Canada's go-to style site," says Norton. "I'm spending about 13 hours a day on this but I love it and we're here for the long haul."

A part of the federal tax overhaul that passed through Congress this week was a provision likely to impact local craft-beverage business. The Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act lowers the federal excise tax on alcoholic beverages.
For local breweries, that means the excise on the first 60,000 barrels of production will be cut in half, dropping from $7 per barrel (31 gallons) to $3.50. For higher-volume businesses, the excise on volume over 60,000 barrels will change from $18 to $16.
Craft-beer trade organization the Brewers Association has been advocating for the bill for ten years and estimates $142 million in annual savings for the U.S. beer industry, with $80 million of that applied to craft breweries producing under 6 million barrels per year. A statement from the Brewers Association suggests the tax relief is designed to help small brewers, "reinvest in their businesses, expand their operations, and hire more workers."
For one of the nation's largest craft breweries, Samuel Adams producer Boston Beer Co., production numbers suggest savings will amount to more than $8 million. Bloomberg reported that Boston Beer founder Jim Koch became craft beer's first billionaire in 2013.
Based on the most recent published production numbers for San Diego's largest independent producer, Stone Brewing, the change could save the company more than three quarters of a million dollars each year. However, most local craft brewers operate on a much smaller scale, and immediate reactions were mixed.
Societe Brewing Co. cofounder Douglas Constantiner calls change, "A big victory to bring the excise tax to a modern-day craft-brewery climate," noting the existing excise was established long before the rise of craft beer. At current production rates, Societe would stand to net about $14,000 in annual savings. Constantiner suggests the new bill "allows more operating cash flow to afford new equipment or increase benefits to employees."
Curtis Chism, cofounder of Council Brewing, appreciates what the Brewers Association's efforts mean for the industry. However, he notes Council's small production numbers (1000 barrels per year) means the new rate won't help growth just yet. "[It] doesn't amount to a particularly large overall tax cut and will likely be used to off-set our other overhead expenses," Chism says. "As we grow larger the savings will amount to much more."
Alex Van Horne, cofounder of Intergalactic Brewing Company, operates on a very small scale, producing about 250 barrels per year. "It will save us a few hundred dollars next year. Maybe a thousand," he says. Van Horne recently announced he may need to sell or shut down his brewery due to rising competition, and he doesn't envision lower federal taxes changing that. "The beer industry is so capital-intensive, going from a nano setup to a true micro costs hundreds of thousands," he says. "It's a win, but it won't be the deciding factor in a brewery's success or failure."
Meanwhile, Modern Times Beer founder Jacob McKean acknowledges his growing business — which is about to open new breweries in Los Angeles and Portland, Oregon — would appear to benefit. However, he looks at a broader perspective. "Whatever direct savings we will have from the tax bill will unfortunately be wiped out many times over by the terrible toll this bill will take on society as a whole," he says. "The increased cost of health care alone will make this tax cut worthless for breweries."
The local businesses standing to benefit the most may be craft distilleries. The new bill drops the excise per proof gallon of spirits from $13.50 all the way down to $2.70 for small producers (under 100,000 proof gallons).
"This is a huge deal for small distilleries," says Bill Rogers, founder of Liberty Call Distilling and president of the San Diego Distillers Guild. He explains the change could average a saving of $1.71 per 750ml bottle for the manufacturer (vs. $1.75 per keg of beer). He believes it could help craft distillers in the uphill battle to compete against large manufacturers. "It might mean the difference in losing money or breaking even," he says. "It's definitely a silver lining in the controversial tax bill."

Radon's Serious Threat In The Sierra
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by the decay of uranium, an element present in granite rock. Because of the prevalence of granite around the Truckee/Tahoe area our homes are at a heightened risk of radon exposure. In 2006 and 2007 the California Department of Health tested radon levels in homes throughout El Dorado, Placer and Nevada counties. Of the 392 homes tested in Truckee, 27% had radon levels higher than EPA recommendations of 4pCi/L.
Radon is the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, according to EPA estimates. Overall, radon is the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking and is responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year.
Normally, radon disperses at low levels into the atmosphere and doesn't pose a health risk. But if radon is captured under a home or building it can become trapped inside a living space and become a health risk. Since air inside a home is usually warmer than outside air, and because heat rises, a house can literally pull radon out of the earth.
Mountain Hardware sells single-use radon testing kits that start at $12.99 (located at the end of aisle 12). These kits measure radon levels over a short period of time (one week to one month). Radon detection units are also available and start at around $120. These units are reusable and provide a digital readout over any length of time. Another option is to hire a certified professional radon tester, like TEK Inspections (530-582-1725).

Mirakler (Hubro; CD/DL)
THREE'S CO. – Norwegian trio Moskus bring a quirky, updated variation between jazz and electronics. Anja Lauvdal (piano), Fredrik Luhr Dietrichson (bass) and Hans Hulbækmo (drums) deal in a secular hybrid that sounds like nothing else really. It's mellow and friendly with just the right amount of weirdness. It's like the funny uncle of Herbie Hancock and Stereolab one step removed. They incorporate a quasi-trad Scandinavian sound with a trip hop edge. It's fun without being infused with flaccid lyrics, yet at times it can even sound like a toy laser gun or a car commercial (Irsk setter). Mirakler, their fourth release (all from Hubro), is as feisty and poker-faced as is it's absurdist coverart depicting a man vs reindeer staring contest.
MOODY + MOOGY: The droopy pace of Sang til C has the smarts of Portishead with the languid bass of the 'tween of 70's era fusion. They incorporate animated snake charmer organ (Voyager), retro-hyperbolic hipster rhythms, and the whole thing is spiced with a dash here and a hint there of space age music, making it oddly timeless. Though these guys are billed as jazzers, they are so fluid that they could easily open for Stereo Total or Trans Am. The handclaps and Doors-like organ on Min venns skaperverk makes for an awesome short break at only 1:18! In fact, the longest of this baker's dozen is just around five minutes, making for an impeccable collection of brief vignettes, like a bunch of glistening ripe and juicy grapes. Jailhouse art music is likely the most akin to classic jazz here, perfectly laidback with a few minor effects and a distinct clarity on the three players each doing their spaced-out thing, in harmony.
ORGAN AHOY: On (" ,) a theremin-like warped sound (is that musical saw?!) rises like a ghost and leads way to the concluding En natt with it's warm atmosphere and low range percussion, like a lapping wave into the last bit of daylight. It's like the sweetest break-up backing track. Filled with gentile yet vivid excerpts of luxe ideas together this forms a delightful weekend earful, especially the restrained/rhapsodic use of organ throughout. To these aged ears this has the quintessential feel of Summer and is due out on 8/17 so you do not have long to grab one of these for your office, phone or poolside player.

I've been playing Williams Pinball Classics this week. It's been a bit of nostalgic trip for me (as well as quite worrying) as I'm old enough remember playing many of these games back when they sitting in arcades. It's also rekindled the fury I had when I was forced to watch a ball head straight down the centre of my flippers, while being powerless to do anything about it.
Of course, back in those days all I could do was hurl expletives at the pinball machine in question. Now, being mature and older and the owner of my own house, I can hurl expletives AND the Xbox 360 controller across the room. Still, it's been a while since I've played pinball with anything approaching the commitment I used to have in my late teens and early twenties. I dropped probably the same amount as my first three mortgage payments on one particular pinball machine; the Williams Last Action Hero model.
Funny thing about pinball; it was the first type of game that made me begin to believe that video games, in some ways, were sentient beings. I don't mean I thought them capable of complex activities outside the purpose they were originally designed for; they can't hold their own in a coffee house conversation on film trivia and they won't be able to help you put the undercoat of paint on your kitchen wall. What I mean is, I started to believe they had moods, and sometimes, when the mood took them, they decided they wanted to win for a change.
Of course this is rubbish, but it helped me make sense of pinball, which is one of the most unfair types of game ever created. After all, you're at the mercy of chance, a fickle task-master at the best of times. Not only that, you have to have lightning quick reflexes, a working knowledge of the machine and what to shoot for and the deftness of touch to shake the machine without causing a tilt. With perhaps the exception of video game classics that were actively constructed to screw players over (like Battletoads or Ninja Gaiden II), there is no game in which the odds are more heavily stacked against the player than pinball. Seriously, you're a mug for putting change into a machine.
With that in mind, it helped me to think of these machines like rather touchy sentient beasts. It was the only way I could make sense of my desire to play them. How else do you explain playing a game in which you, the consumer, deposit money and then are forced to watch as your ball heads straight down the centre of your flippers or down either side of them – straight after you've launched the sodding thing? How else do you make sense of the fact that the ball can continually rebound badly or too quickly and scupper you? Why aren't you allowed to shake the machine to avoid this without it yelling TILT!!! and ending your game right there and then? Pinball machines were like untamed broncos to me. When they decided they wanted to win, they didn't mask their intentions.
This is a belief that over the years has spilled over into how I view console and PC games. It doesn't happen often but every now and then I get the impression that I'm being hoodwinked in some way by a game that seems to have taken on a life of its own.
I mean, I'm surely not losing to Bolton with Barcelona on Pro-level difficulty am I? I can't be that rubbish. Clearly it's a case of FIFA 11 cheating!
The Boston Celtics can't have missed the last six attempts from the three-point line because of my ineptitude can they? Come one, Ray Allen is superb and this is a video game, so he can't be having an off night! Oh, I see, NBA Live wants to win one, does it?
Oh! Ninja Gaiden! How about you…. er, bad example.
Oh snap! How is it I've just been shot by someone who I've just killed in the Favela in COD? I've played this bloody level six times and that's never happened before! Go to hell COD, you cheating sod!
Okay shake it off.
Normally, after putting the controller down for a bit and having a nice cup of tea and a biscuit, I'm usually able to eschew the notion that games occasionally cheat. They're not living creatures which need to be tamed or talked to in soothing tones. They're bits and bytes and codes bundled together for my entertainment and I shouldn't take the occasional loss as a personal insult. Games aren't alive! What a preposterous idea!
At least, that's how things used to be…
…before I got addicted to Drop 7, a game I play exclusively on hardcore level every single day of my life, and I know it cheats! I know it! How else do you explain the fact that when you manage to keep clearing away the board's lines in the game, that it starts to drop nothing but 1's 2's 3's and 4's. I'm crying out for a 6! A 6 dammit and then I can clear the… what??? A 1!! YOU SWINE!!! DAMN YOU DROP 7!!! DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!

The Education-Centered Medical Home (ECMH) is a four-year, longitudinal, ambulatory experience based in existing primary care clinics where multilevel student teams (four from each class) work collaboratively to care for high-risk patient panels. In this student-centered learning environment, trainees can learn traditional patient care, communication and medical knowledge objectives and work toward competence in a number of areas.
Didactics (monthly ECMH Grand Rounds) focus on nationally endorsed patient-centered medical home principles:
- Personal physician
- Team-based care
- Whole-person orientation
- Integrated/coordinated care
- Quality/safety commitment
- Enhanced access
- Payment reform
Each student in the ECMH will deliberately practice clinical care in accordance with these nationally endorsed principles, and their patient outcomes will be tracked and published across all ECMH sites to emphasize continuous quality improvement principles.
Continuity is key within the ECMH. We aim to maximize continuity in these areas:
- Care, with longitudinal patient relationships
- Supervision, with preceptors and clinic staff
- Teamwork, with a stable peer group/team
- Data, a stable team working with a defined population enables outcome measurement

Dear visitors of our site!
Do you or your beloved ones have the problem with an overweight? Are you tired of fighting against atypical for you "brutal" appetite? Does your eye sight fall down catastrophically and wounds with boils are not healed for a long time? You have a constant dry mouth, numb limbs, and you often find yourself in a state of chronic fatigue? If you recognize all these symptoms or if doctors have diagnosed an obesity or diabetes type II, do not fall in despair! A team of professionals, brilliantly mastering surgical method of treatment of obesity and diabetes type II, will help you to start a new and most importantly healthy life!
"Not that long ago scientists discovered that ghrelin appetite hormone is produced in the upper part of the stomach. And it is directly linked with pleasure hormone (endorphin), which begins to be produced as soon as we are saturated with food. Almost the same process occurs when a drug addict consumes drugs. Probably that is why people with overweight are called food addicts whose weight gradually transforms from the normal one into the life and health threatening, "says Professor Ivan Todurov.
How to calculate your optimal weight?
The most popular method for the excess weight estimation which is used all over the world includes body mass index (BMI). It is calculated in the following way: body weight (kg) is divided into height (meters) and then squared. For example with the height of 1.70 m and weight of 66 kg BMI will be 23, which is the standard. If BMI is over 25 then it is already overweight, more than 30 is the 1st degree of obesity, more than 35 is an obesity of the 2nd degree. If BMI is over 40 then it is the obesity of 3rd degree, the morbid obesity (morbid means 'painful' in English) is a super-obesity which causes diabetes mellitus type II, hypertension, sleep apnea syndrome, atherosclerosis and increases the risk of heart attack, stroke and cancer. Numerous studies prove conclusively that there are no effective conservative treatment methods of morbid obesity (with BMI of over 40). After conservative therapy 95% of patients with this type of obesity experienced weight gain during the first 6 months and up to 2 years after the treatment. Surgery is considered to be the only real method of an effective treatment.
"We do not operate those who did not try to lose weight on their own and whose weight is not that excessive. Usually it is enough to reduce food consumption, the amount of carbohydrates and to increase physical activity in order to lose weight. However, all this must be done in the complex. Only in the case a person is actively involved, and there is no result, it makes sense to consider the possibility of a surgery. And, of course, weight loss is impossible to be achieved without the help of the doctors, if the weight has exceeded the mark of 130, 140, and even 150-170 kilograms," Professor Ivan Todurov says.

MFST's Week 7 NFL Picks
Standings after TNF Week 7
Brandon Reid: 59-32-2
Orlando Torres: 55-36-2
Dan Schalk: 50-41-2
Week 7 Picks
All of the guys did outstanding this past week as they all went 12-3. Orlando has been on a tear the last two weeks and Dan has fell further back in the standings, but he did get hitched this week, so ultimately his pick was right. Congrats to our Editor-in-Chief on his recent marriage. Here are the guys Week 7 picks…
Titans vs. Chargers (London)
Dan Schalk: Los Angeles Chargers. I have more confidence in Philip Rivers and company to move the ball than Mariota and his "weapons".
Brandon Reid: Los Angeles Chargers. I don't like this matchup for several reasons if I'm the Titans. It's in London (by the way, I hate London games and think it is ridiculous), The Titans offense stinks, and the Chargers defense is as formidable as the Titans. Chargers should have no trouble.
Orlando Torres: Los Angeles Chargers. The Titans have been terrible these past few weeks, and they won't have an answer across the pond either for Melvin Gordon.
Patriots at Bears
Dan Schalk: New England Patriots. I'm surprised how many people think the Bears are the class of the NFC North. Sure they have a solid defense, but it's not one of the greatest of all-time. Watch as Tom Brady puts up 30.
Brandon Reid: Chicago Bears. The Bears have the 2nd best scoring D in the league. Mack is a wrecking crew. The game is at Soldier Field. Brady will have a rough day. Hope he survives.
Orlando Torres: New England Patriots. Sony Michel baby!!!
Bills at Colts
Dan Schalk: Indianapolis Colts. The Bills are a mess and their fans are oblivious to the terrible moves the front office made in the offseason. Case in point, trading away AJ McCarron for a 5th round pick.
Brandon Reid: Indianapolis Colts. The Bills up and down season just got more consistent. Consistently down. I thought Derek Anderson was drafted with Peyton Manning.
Orlando Torres: Indianapolis Colts. Finally my boy Andrew Luck will be back on track. I'll give credit to the Bills defense. They've been playing good, but Anderson at QB? No thanks!
Lions at Dolphins
Dan Schalk: Detroit Lions. I don't see Brock Osweiler having two good games in a row.
Brandon Reid: Miami Dolphins. As much as I think Miami was the most overrated team to start the season, I think they are good enough to win this home game. The Lions have been very uninspiring this year and I don't trust them to win many road games. They've lost both their road games so far this year.
Orlando Torres: Detroit Lions. Osweiller is in again at QB, but this Lions team will win a tough road game in South Beach.
Vikings at Jets
Dan Schalk: Minnesota Vikings. This is the Minnesota team we expected.
Brandon Reid: Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are finally starting to click after that embarrassing defeat to the Bills. The lack of big play offense will cost the Jets any chance to win this one.
Orlando Torres: Minnesota Vikings. Darnold has been impressive at times, but the Vikings defense will just be too much.
Panthers at Eagles
Dan Schalk: Philadelphia Eagles. I hope Philadelphia loses, I just don't see it happening.
Brandon Reid: Carolina Panthers. Something tells me Philly is not back on track yet. A win over the lowly Giants doesn't prove anything to me. The Panthers bring a solid defense, strong run game, and Superman QB into this contest. Carolina grinds it out.
Orlando Torres: Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles are back on track after that dominant win against the Giants. The Panthers definitely have a chance here, but back to back road games is tough.
Browns at Bucs
Dan Schalk: Cleveland Browns. Coin flip game, I think Cleveland will rebound after a loss.
Brandon Reid: Tampa Bay Bucs. Too many weapons for the home team for Cleveland to out shoot famous Jameis. Might be close, but it's still hard for me to pick the Browns to win road games.
Orlando Torres: Tampa Bay Bucs. Tampa got a new defensive coordinator so it's going to be interesting how they game plan for Mayfield. This should be a close game, but the Bucs will close it out at home.
Texans at Jaguars
Dan Schalk: Houston Texans. Did you see Jacksonville play Dallas last week?
Brandon Reid: Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags are going to eventually get it together. This team is still very capable of winning the AFC. But they're going to have to get Fournette back healthy, and find an identity on offense. And the defense needs to kick it up a gear. Jacksonville is the better team. Plain and simple.
Orlando Torres: Jacksonville Jaguars. After the beaten the Jags took on the road to the Cowboys look for them to bounce back in a dominant win at home.
Saints at Ravens
Dan Schalk: New Orleans Saints. Their offense will be too much.
Brandon Reid: Baltimore Ravens. This Ravens defense will smack in you the face. And they have a good mix of offensive weapons to hit you with. The Saints are not the Saints when on the road. Baltimore wins easily.
Orlando Torres: Baltimore Ravens. Last time we saw the Saints Drew Brees was breaking records and they blew out the skins. This time around I think the Ravens will hold their own at home in a close game.
Rams at 49ers
Dan Schalk: Los Angeles Rams. Alright I'm sold, Rams are the favorite for the Super Bowl.
Brandon Reid: Los Angeles Rams. I give the 49ers credit for being resilient. But the Rams are the NFL's best team right now.
Orlando Torres: Los Angeles Rams. After that heartbreaking loss on Monday night, this Sunday won't be the right time for a bounce back.
Cowboys at Redskins
Dan Schalk: Dallas Cowboys. Finally the Cowboys have a legitimate Top 5 defense. Can the offense repeat their performance from last week is the question.
Brandon Reid: Washington Redskins. The Jags are going through some things right now. Don't let last week convince you that the Cowboys are surging upwards. That is far from the truth. Jason Garrett is what he is, and Dak Prescott is what he is. With those two, this Cowboys team will always be inconsistent. The Tennessee Titans of the NFC, if you will. Tough division road game. I got the home team.
Orlando Torres: Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys have been a different team on the road, especially Dak. Washington also has their share on woes all over the place.
Bengals at Chiefs
Dan Schalk: Kansas City Chiefs. Shootout game, but I think Andy Reid finally realizes he needs to give Kareem Hunt the ball 20+ times a game.
Brandon Reid: Kansas City Chiefs. There is only two games the Chiefs have a chance to lose at home the rest of the year, this isn't one of them.
Orlando Torres: Kansas City Chiefs. I like this Bengals offense a lot, but they have too many issues on defense to stop Mahomes and the Chiefs.
Giants at Falcons
Dan Schalk: Atlanta falcons. Ito Smith is the best back on the Falcons roster, even when Freeman is healthy.
Brandon Reid: Atlanta Falcons. I looked at the Giants schedule. I'm not picking them to win another game all year. Maybe against the 49ers next week, maybe against the Colts down the road. That's the only possibilities for wins I see for them the rest of the year.
Orlando Torres: Atlanta Falcons. I really want to pick the Giants here, but they've let me down each time I've picked them.

The art of convening Blue Training Courses
Written by Tabitha Stimpfle and Carolin Hoffmann, Blue Solutions Initiative
© Tabitha Stimpfle
After five eventful years, the Blue Solutions project is in its final year of implementation and will come to an end in late 2018. To ensure the long-term availability, implementation and adaptation of the Blue Training Courses*, a workshop dedicated to "The art of convening Blue Training Courses" was conducted in June 2018. The workshop was jointly organized by the Blue Solutions Initiative, the Mami Wata Project, the MARISMA Project and convened in collaboration with the Sustainable Ocean Initiative (SOI) of the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
Representatives of 15 institutions from a diverse range of civil society, NGOs, academia, national and international organizations participated in the event. The first part of the interactive workshop focused on the Blue Training Courses and both practical and strategic considerations for successfully convening and implementing them. The second part focused on the way forward and how participating organizations can potentially integrate the courses into their capacity development portfolios, while creating synergies among each other and adapting the courses to the specific needs of their target audiences.
The organizers aimed at the following goals:
- equipping selected institutions with knowledge and skills to successfully convene "Blue Training Courses";
- creating a network of implementing institutions;
- identifying institutions' further needs regarding convening and implementing those courses and ways to address those, and
- scoping possibilities for cooperation, including developing a roadmap.
What are the next steps? The participating institutions confirmed common interest in creating a network of capacity developing institutions and implementing and adapting the Blue Training Courses. In the upcoming months, the Blue Solutions initiative, the Mami Wata project and the MARISMA project will reach out to the participating organizations in order to jointly initiate concrete steps towards these objectives.
The organizing team would like to thank all participants for many insightful inputs and is very much looking forward to jointly work on the next steps that have been defined!
*All training materials are open source and can be found on the Blue Solutions website. For further information get in touch with Carolin Hoffmann.

Looks like Democrats are now in the next phase of their efforts to derail the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation. Now that the woman who has made a sexual misconduct allegation against him has come forward, Democrats are calling to postpone the vote and at least one Republican member may be going along with them on it.
From Daily Caller:
Following The Post report, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Twitter that the accusations must be "thoroughly investigated" before a confirmation vote can proceed.
Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, similarly said in a statement that the Senate should delay consideration of Kavanaugh's nomination until federal investigators have completed an inquiry.
"I support Mrs. Ford's decision to share her story, and now that she has, it is in the hands of the FBI to conduct an investigation," Feinstein said. "This should happen before the Senate moves forward on this nominee."
This despite the fact that Feinstein sat on these "serious" allegations since July until it could give maximum damage and delay to the process.
Not to mention are questions about the allegations themselves from the fact that she doesn't remember where it occurred or exactly when, and the two people she claims were there have both denied that it occurred, Kavanaugh and Mark Judge, the other alleged boy involved.
But Republicans are now wavering.
Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) is saying he doesn't think the vote should be held "until we hear more."
And then there's Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC):
And Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK).
And even the White House is reportedly amenable to having her heard from as long as Kavanaugh can be heard from too, both under oath. They're showing they really believe in Kavanaugh and want Ford to state her claim under oath.
But if there was any question at all this was a tactic, let's hear from Sen. Dick Durbin:
Too soon? Like, let's hold it after November when you hope for the votes to block it? After Democrats sat on it for months?

The Thinktanks
- The Staff Nook
Zizi Arcega is a 20-something gal who aspires to write for a hobby or lifestyle magazine someday. She is currently working as an encoder and principal's secretary for a private school.
Known as A-chan in the local anime and cosplay community in the early 2000's, she used to be an active member in Filcosplay, a popular cosplay forum in the Philippines. Though not connected with them anymore, she remains to be be a fan of anime, manga and some games to this day. She cosplayed sometime in 2003 but as she is a failure in anything craft-related, she decided to quit after entering in a competition thrice.
Her hobbies include net-surfing, reading and cross-stitching. Blogging is also among her favorite past times and she kept a personal one throughout her college life. She attempted to keep a fandom blog by the time she started working, but it had gone extinct due to boredom. Pixelated Crayons is her attempt to revive the blogging blood which had been asleep for quite sometime.
Zizi loves to stay indoors and is in front of her computer most of the time but she loves shopping just like any ordinary girl. Her favorite things as of the moment are Viz Media translated manga, 90's anime series (which she is re-watching) and the Facebook game Restaurant City. She is a die-hard fan of The Amazing Race series and has faithfully watched every episode since season 4. She doesn't mind the Twilight series because she believes it's just a teen thing. What she loathes are the breeding jejemons and hopes that their stupid fad will die as soon as possible.
Anne "Presea" Plaza is a 28 year old writer who has written for magazines and websites. On her spare time, she dabbles with her social networking accounts in Plurk, Facebook and Twitter while burning productive hours reading manga scanlations. Anne used to be a cosplayer, but decided to cut back on the hobby when she reached the maximum limit in her credit card.
She's been blogging since 2002 and has kept a game-dedicated blog back in 2007, which reaped recognition within its community. This is hopefully one of her more serious attempts to get back to serious blog writing after spending most of her Internet life in microblogging sites.
Among many other things, Anne is a self-confessed book geek whose greatest dream is to one day have a room full of books. She's also into bead craft, travel, window shopping and coffee. Anne hates jejemons with a passion that is almost holy.
She lives in Quezon City with her folks and siblings, along with their two dogs, Casper & Carding, black cat Mimiw and a lovebird that remains nameless to this day.

After a particularly engaging round of fixtures last weekend, where Jose Mourinho's Manchester United came from behind to beat Antonio Conte's Chelsea, Premier League's Matchday 29 promises to be even more exciting and enthrall fans across the world. Ahead of Gameweek 29 fixtures, we shall look at the Premier League prediction for the weekend.
With as many as eight games scheduled for Saturday (March 3), Sunday will see Gameweek 29's marquee clash between Manchester City and Chelsea. Southampton will also host Stoke City in a relegation six-pointer, with both teams vying for survival and a place among the elite next season.
Prediction for Premier League Gameweek 29
1. Burnley vs Everton
After enjoying a spectacular first half of the season, Sean Dyche's Burnley have suffered a severe dip in form after the turn of year and are on an 11-game winless run in the Premier League ahead of the visit of Everton this weekend. The Clarets will no doubt be desperate to put an end to this negative trend. Sam Allardyce's Everton, being as good as they are at home under him, are equally woeful on their travels. The Toffees have lost their last four away games in a row now. Considering everything, we predict a narrow win for Burnley in this game.
Prediction: Burnley 1-0 Everton
2. Swansea City vs West Ham United
Having regained their lost vigour under new manager Carlos Carvalhal, Swansea suffered an embarrassing 4-1 loss against Brighton in their last game, which also brought an end to their ten game unbeaten run. David Moyes' West Ham side also faced a similar 4-1 drubbing at Liverpool and will be eager to bounce back at the Liberty Stadium in Wales on Saturday. 2 out of the last 4 meetings between these two sides have resulted in a 4-1 win for the either side and the upcoming Matchday 29 fixture is also likely to produce some goals, given the fact that both teams are desperate to ensure safety and beat the drop this season.
Prediction: Swansea 2-2 West Ham
3. Tottenham Hotspur vs Huddersfield Town
Tottenham claimed an important victory against Crystal Palace in the mini London derby in their last outing in the league. Mauricio Pochettino once again had talisman Harry Kane to thank, as the Englishman headed in a late winner in the match and secured all three points for Spurs. Coach David Wagner's Huddersfield side produced a spirited display against West Brom last weekend and emerged 2-1 winners on the day. Beating Tottenham away from home is likely to be an uphill task for the Terriers and we predict a straight-forward win for Pochettino's side in this fixture.
Prediction: Tottenham 3-0 Huddersfield
4. Leicester City vs Bournemouth
After sharing the spoils with Stoke City on Matchday 28, Leicester City will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Bournemouth at their King Power Stadium. The Foxes missed a number of clear-cut chances in their draw against the Potters and were left to rue them in the end. Bournemouth, on the other hand, came from two goals down to claim a credible 2-2 draw against Newcastle, but are likely to face a much more difficult challenge against Claude Puel's side on Saturday. While Eddie Howe's Cherries will give it a real go, a win for Leicester is the most likely outcome in this match.
Prediction: Leicester City 2-0 Bournemouth
5. Watford vs West Bromwich Albion
While Watford will head into their Matchday 29 fixture against West Brom full of confidence and enthusiasm, Alan Pardew's visiting side will know that anything less than a win will push them further down the barrel and closer to the impending relegation from the top-tier of English football. Having beaten Everton 1-0 in their last league outing, coach Javi Gracia's men are eyeing their third consecutive win at home and considering how they outclassed Chelsea in front of home fans earlier in February, we predict that the Hornets are going to give fans their yet another reason to celebrate this weekend.
Prediction: Watford 2-1 West Bromwich Albion
6. Southampton vs Stoke City
In what can really be termed as a relegation six-pointer, Southampton will host Stoke City at the St. Mary's Stadium on Saturday. Trailing 1-0, coach Mauricio Pellegrino's showed plenty of character to score an equalizer and take a point from their last game against a tough Burnley side. Stoke, on the other hand, were more than fortunate not to suffer a loss at Leicester City last weekend and come out with a 1-1 draw. The two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment and a close encounter might be on the horizon in this game.
Prediction: Southampton 0-0 Stoke
7. Liverpool vs Newcastle United
The high-flying Liverpool are all set to welcome their Champions League winning manager Rafa Benitez at Anfield on Matchday 29. Jurgen Klopp's side produced a scintillating display of attacking football against West Ham in their last league encounter and hammered the Hammers 4-1. After claiming a morale-boosting win over Manchester United during Gameweek 27, Newcastle wasted a 2-0 lead against Bournemouth and had to settle for a point last weekend. These two teams played out a 1-1 draw at St. James' Park in January, but a different result is likely to emerge this weekend.
Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Newcastle
8. Brighton & Hove Albion vs Arsenal
Manager Chris Hughton's Brighton side continues to impress in the Premier League this season. The newcomers recorded a brilliant 4-1 win over Swansea City last weekend, with the team moving one step closer to securing yet another season in the top-most echelons of English football. Arsenal, their opponents for the Matchday 29 fixture, are looking increasingly likely to miss out on Champions League football yet again and will have to treat their remaining games as must-wins if they are secure elite European football at the Emirates stadium next season.
Prediction: Brighton 1-2 Arsenal
9. Manchester City vs Chelsea
Matchday 29's marquee fixture will see the reigning champions Chelsea traveling to probable champions Manchester City on Sunday. All eyes will certainly be on the Etihad stadium when modern master Pep Guardiola goes head to head with the tactical brilliance of Antonio Conte in this game. The Citizens recently won their first trophy under Pep Guardiola, with the team rolling over Arsenal in the League Cup final at the Wembley Stadium last weekend. Chelsea suffered a damaging 2-1 loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford in their last outing in the league and will aim to climb up the Premier League standings and into Champions League berths in this game. Easier said than done though!
Prediction: Manchester City 3-1 Chelsea
10. Crystal Palace vs Manchester United
Roy Hodgson's Crystal Palace side will host an uplifted Manchester United side in a late kick-off on Monday to complete Matchday 20 proceedings. Palace were on the verge of holding Tottenham to a goalless draw at their Selhurst Park at the weekend, but Spurs eventually scored a late winner and picked up all three points from the match. Jose Mourinho's United, on the other hand. secured a famous comeback win against arch-rivals Chelsea and will head into this match at the Selhurst Park as heavy favourites. Romelu Lukaku has found his best form in recent weeks and all eyes will be on the Belgian attacker when he walks out on the pitch in London on Matchday 29.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-3 Manchester United

Self-leadership definition: The practice of intentionally influencing your thinking, feeling and behaviors to achieve your objective/s (Bryant & Kazan 2012).
An expanded Self-leadership definition is:
Self-leadership is having a developed sense of who you are, what you can do, where you are going coupled with the ability to influence your communication, emotions and behaviors on the way to getting there.
For a better understanding of the question, 'What is Self-leadership' we recommend the book "Self Leadership – How to be a more Successful, Efficient and Effective Leader from the Inside Out", or you can read a summary here.
Self-leaders have a drive for autonomy, can make decisions, are more creative and persist, even in the face of adversity.
Some of the intentional behaviors that characterize Self-leadership are; self-awareness, self-goal setting, self-motivation, positive self-talk, assertive communication and the ability to receive and act on feedback.
Self-leaders utilize strategies or rituals, to align their intentions and actions to achieve success. Some of these strategies include:
- Reflecting on intention to achieve focus
- Clarifying what they are responsible 'for' and what we are accountable to?
- Becoming the author of the inner narrative to tell an empowering story
- Confidently taking action and seeking feedback
- Communicating authentically to achieve win/win
- Being mindful and managing emotions
- Influencing through understanding the intentions of others
Here's a quick video which explains self-leadership in simple terms:
Becoming a Self-leader and maintaining Self-leadership is a self-development activity; but organizations that encourage Self-leadership reap the benefit.
This diagram shows the importance of Self-leadership at different levels of the organization:
Self-leadership should be the foundation of any organizational development program. To skip the Self-leadership piece is to leave out a significant part of the puzzle of developing a learning organization.
Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power." Lao Tzu
