Last week in Bangkok, Prof. Dr. Andrea Giuricin, CEO of TRA consulting presented the interim report for a reform of the Railway sector in #Thailand as senior transport advisor of The World Bank.
In the last months, Prof. Dr. Andrea Giuricin had meetings with Ministers and CEO of the company to make a better benchmarking analysis and to have an effective reform of the sector.
This is another important step for the internationalization of the consulting company, after working, in China, South Korea, Indonesia, Africa and Europe.
TRA consulting CEO, Prof. Dr. Andrea Giuricin, was interview by several media and Institutional stakeholders about the railway reform in France.
Data and analysis about the #HSR in Italy were used by the #JDD Journal de Dimanche en France where the #Spinetta report and #Macron government are trying to make a reform of the railway system and SNCF.
In Italy the competition gives benefits for the consumers with a strong decrease of the prices of the tickets (Yield -40%) and the demand increased about 90 per in cent in 6 years.
These datas were also shown on France 2 at the news of 8 pm.
Italo Treno – NTV is the first experience of a private #HSR railway company in open access competition and the RU had great financial result with an EBITDA Margin at 34 per cent in 2017.
The debt level is very low as shown by the NFP/EBITDA ratio that it will be lower than 2 in 2018.
Competition was good for the consumers and for the railways company that they need to innovate to be competitive.
In the last days, I saw many comments on #ITALO and the sale to the Infrastructure Fund #GIP.
I think that it is important to understand the importance of this acquisition.
#Italo grew a lot in the last years and the EBITDA margin is higher and higher: in 2017 it was 34,3 per cent of the revenue.
The number of passengers increased from 6.56 million in 2014 to 12.8 million in 2017 with the same numbers of train (25 AGV).
The increase of the productivity decreased the cost per available seat km to a lower level of many low cost, even if #Italo is a not a low cost carrier thanks to the wide offer of services (Italo Lounge, Club, Wifi, On board portal).
The increase of the productivity gave an higher frequency of the service and this an important point to understand: in the HSR business the frequency is a key driver of the success to have also an higher Yield (Rev/PaxKm).
Why has an infrastructure fund bought a railway undertaking that it has not a infrastructure?
I had meetings in the last months with the most important investment bank that asked me some counselling:
– the EBITDA margin is similar to the Utilities
– The regulation will be certain for the next 4 years (access charge)
– The European market is opening soon
– The increase of the number of trains from 25 to 42 in the next 20 months will permits to increase frequency and to take new markets (Turin-Milan-Venice).
– It will be not easy to a third Railway operator to enter in the italian market due to the importance of the frequency of the service.
Last points the I underlined in my article for an italian newspaper:
– the crazyness of one founder of the company, Eng. Sciarrone that he was the first CEO of the company (2006-2013) and he created the company from zero.
– The capacity of the CEO, Mr. Cattaneo in making an impressive turnaround of the business.
– The shareholders that believe in this "crazy adventure"
– The high knowledge of the management of the company, that they were able to improve day by day the efficiency of the company.
TRA consulting analysis on the European market of High Speed rail is out on the main global media.
Reuters, CNBC and many others international newspaper utilized the data calculated by the consulting company based in Barcelona, Brussels and Milan. Here the complete news:
The study was reported not only on the english newspaper but also in French and German.
It is reported the possible growth of the #HSR market in the next years thanks to the liberalization during the interview to the President and the CEO of Italo – NTV
Prof. Dr. Andrea Giuricin, CEO of TRA consulting made some analysis about the process of sale #Alitalia Società Aerea Italiana S.p.A. and the problems of #ATAC, the Public Transport company in Rome in many articles and TV interviews.
"At #Class CNBC I spoke about Air France and Delta Air Lines and the possibility to challenge the offer of Lufthansa" comments the CEO of TRA consulting.
In the last days, he makes interview at the first channel of Italian Radio, Rai 1.
For the Corriere della Sera, the leader newspaper in Italy, TRA consulting makes data analysis and at #IlGiornale, other comments on Alitalia.
Lat but not least, at the first page of Milano Finanza my interview about #ATAC situation and the risk of bankruptcy of the Company.
Prof. Dr. Andrea Giuricin, CEO of TRA consulting, was honoured to give a keynote speech in Buenos Aires in front Ministers from South America.
Regulation in a single digital market in South America was the report that it will be the introduction study for the La Convención Azul.
The Minister for the Culture in Brazil congratulates Prof. Dr. Andrea Giuricin and he received an invitation to present the study in Brasilia next year.
During the second day of the Conference, we discussed together with the CEO of La Nacion at the conference #LaConvencionAzul about the data economy in Europe and South America.
Big data is important but Prof. Giuricin underlined that it is important the analysis of the data to transform them in information.
He prefere to define the "algorithm economy" because the process of optimization is more and more important.
TRA CONSULTING had an interesting meeting with the CEO and the top management of #SRT the first competitor in the High Speed Railway sector in South Korea.
In this meeting, few weeks after Prof. Andrea Giuricin visited the company in Seoul, SRT top management had the possibility to try and understand the business model of NTV-Italo.
Italo – NTV is the first great example of rail competition (in the HSR) and soon it will be listed on stock exchange, but more and more there are business cases all around Europe and World.
#ITALO and #SRT signed a MOU 2 years ago and now both companies are growing in a competitive market.
TRA consulting is out today on La Repubblica, one of the most important newspaper in Italy on #ALITALIA.
The stand alone strategy is not possible for Alitalia Società Aerea Italiana S.p.A. and at the same time to have losses in the summer season is not not so healty for the airline. So, time is short for the procedures to find a partner.
TRA consulting has long experience in consulting in merger and acquisition process of airlines with international customers.
TRA consulting has an huge coverage on the media in the last days, from the chinese Xinhua to the German @Handelsblatt.
@Reuters, but also the first channel for the Italian Radio, Radio Rai 1 and the news of the first Radio of Switzerland asked an opinion to the CEO of TRA consulting, Prof. Andrea Giuricin, about Alitalia, Lufthansa and the rise of the low cost long haul with Norwegian.
TRA consulting has a strong coverage of the topics thanks to the connection with the international media and this is another example of the possibility that it is possible to reach a global audience in the aviation industry with in-depth analysis.
Here the interviews for the most readed newspaper in the World, Xinhua, for a dedicated business TV channel in Italy, Reteconomy, at the first Malaysian newspaper, The Star Online or the business newspaper in France, Les Echos.
Last week, it was great to discuss together with the Minister of Transport of Ontario, Canada, the CEO of GVB, the public transport company of Amsterdam and the CEO of Metro do Porto about the future of rail and metro as Chairman at SmartRail World.
It's not easy for many companies to innovate but it is more and more a needs for the cost control and to increase the quality of the services.
For example, last Friday I was impressed by the Wi-Fi connection at Italo – NTV because I can have a webex conference call at 300km per hour.
Technology made it possible but it is the competition that it is giving pressure to improve a complex system as the Wi-Fi on board.
In Paris, I discuss with two of the board members of MRT Corporation Sdn Bhd a company that is a key driver of the success of the system in Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysia is building an huge urban transport system for developing and improving the lifestyle of Kuala Lumpur citizens.

Bar Biscay Brings a Spanish Vibe to West Town
This new "brasserie" is dishing out bites and beverages from coastal Spain
The vibe at Bar Biscay is colorful but chill, like if Miami in the '80s met beach life in coastal Spain. The first thing you'll notice when you enter the new West Town space is the pinkish-purple glow. Next: the servers' vibrant aprons in shades of mint, bubblegum and baby blue.
On Saturday night, drinkers and diners grabbed a bite in booths near the entry, took up residence at tables in back, and settled in at the bar to nibble on late night pintxos—small bites served in the Basque country—and sip Spanish vermouth on draft.
Here's what we saw when we dropped by:

Le Grenier – Brick Lane
Le Grenier has a truly fantastic collection of well, random stuff, for want of a better word. Full sets of brown and orange tea cups, sugar pots and tea jars interspersed with eclectic jewellery, retro furniture, exciting knick knacks and old record players in suitcases which are pretty useless but look cool. Andy Warhol would have loved this shop, no doubt you've heard about his collection of cookie jars. On entering Le Grenier one can run the risk of the age old problem of 'buying order topamax nice stuff you just don't need'. I realise I'm a victim of this every time I move house. So many jars with SUGAR written on them, apparently I'm a collector. Someone once told me that stuff not money is what makes the world go round. I chant that to myself every time I'm tempted to buy an antique letter box or magazine stand, I'm just helping the world go round.

Respectful relationships: Gender, power and consent - Respectful relationships: Gender, power and consent
Background teacher notes
Respectful relationships: Gender, power and consent
Most people's lives are primarily defined by the relationships they have - personal and occupational, social, formal and informal, close and intimate or acquaintances. Relationships can be between people from different countries, different cultures, the opposite sex or the same sex. They can be can be long-term and last a lifetime, or they can be short-term.
What is a respectful relationship?
Sometimes people refer to relationships as 'healthy', 'good' or 'ethical'. Some of these terms can be quite values laden and it can cause people to categorise relationships into 'good' vs 'bad' or 'healthy' vs 'unhealthy'. Relationships are complex and rarely as black and white as this. What can be more helpful is talking in terms of what is 'respectful' and 'disrepectful' behaviour. No matter what type of relationship it is - family, friends, work mates, sporting partners, neighbours, fellow students, teachers, acquaintances, boyfriends, girlfriends - the qualities of a respectful relationship typically include:
Respect - mutual feelings of regard; sense of feeling affirmed and safe
Communication - really listening, hearing and being heard; understanding; being able to say no
Trust – feeling trust and being trusted
Equality – freely making your own choices
Professional or formal relationships are often guided by codes of conduct but in the personal and social realm there is a wide variety of approaches to relationships. Generally, the closer or more intimate the relationship, the more crucial the 'respectful relationship' characteristics become.
Know yourself
The best way for a person to know and understand what close and intimate relationships are 'right' for them is to firstly know themselves and the limits and boundaries for each type of relationship in their life.
Knowing yourself and what you want gives the best start for the development of a respectful relationship because it also helps thinking and communicating. Clarity about values, culture, beliefs, other important relationships, experiences, spirituality, thoughts and feelings are part of a person coming to 'know' himself or herself. Knowing what is important, what they feel strongly about, what dreams and aspirations they have and what makes them unique all help.
Similarly, knowing their physical, emotional, spiritual or sexual limits and boundaries they wish not to cross, will help a person make the best decisions, as well as help keep them safer.
Obviously, everyone is not the same. What might be important to one person and what their 'limits' are may be quite different to someone else. Educating about knowledge of self and respect for self as well as respecting that others may be different from you is a powerful support for young people in learning about respectful relationships.
Effective communication is possibly the most important element of a relationship and only happens when it is genuinely a two-way process – talking and listening for both. Effective communication can be difficult but is worth persisting with to keep relationships respectful and positive.

Gender and relationships
It is difficult to generalise about gender, sexuality and the implications for safe behaviours and positive sexuality, however, successful school programs acknowledge and take account of this area.
Understanding particular gender expectations on relationships, sexuality and safe sex, for example, includes challenging beliefs that males cannot control their sexual urges and consequently can't be expected to take responsibility for contraception. It also includes addressing the strong and inequitable attitude that females should take primary responsibility in suggesting the use of condoms for instance.
Young men
Research shows that gender issues for young men often includes a reluctance to communicate about personal feelings. It also suggests that not taking responsibility for contraception and other safe sex practices limits their possibilities of developing equal, respectful and supportive relationships. Challenging young men's perceptions of masculinity and traditional femininity is a critical stage in their general education, but particularly important in relationship and sexual health education.
Power, gender, cultural and social attitudes
It is helpful for teachers to have an understanding of gender and power in relationships, and how cultural and social beliefs about gender are established and communicated.
Power - Differences in 'power' are a fundamental aspect of gender relationships and central to a young person's sexual behaviour. An example of 'gender power' in operation can be found in the analysis of the inconsistent use of condoms by young sexually active people. Examining power and inequality in relationships is an essential part of sexual health education and will also help advocate and promote the use of condoms to prevent pregnancy, STIs and BBVs.
Attitudes - Discriminatory attitudes need to be discussed. For example, the typically negative attitudes and put-downs aimed at young women who make a choice to be sexually active. Providing an opportunity for young males to discuss the knowledge and skills needed to become full and equal partners in their relationships is also useful. Assertiveness is not just a skill to assist young women to say "no" to unwanted sexual advances, it might also mean that that she can say "yes, I want, I feel, I know this about myself".
Gender, cultural and social beliefs - Adolescents experience gender, as well as peer group motivations for having sexual intercourse, which incidentally may also affect whether a condom is used. Young males are more likely to see intercourse as a way of establishing maturity and achieving social status but young women commonly see intercourse as a way of expressing their love or to achieve greater intimacy. Consequently, young males may end up having sex with someone who is a relative stranger, have a number of sexual partners and may be unable to separate sex from love.
Cultural norms of romantic love are also important determinants of how men and women communicate and behave in intimate relationships. Young women place a greater level of trust in relationships because of their cultural and gender view that sex is about romance and love. The risk is they misplace their trust and operate through 'rose-coloured' glasses and end up in an unhappy or potentially exploitive relationship. Given young men's cultural and perhaps stereotypical attitude to sexual relationships, relying on trust is considered an unsafe strategy.
Consent and sex
Consensual sex is when both parties are of legal age, agree to engage in sexual intercourse by choice, and have the freedom and capacity to make that choice. This means agreeing to sexual relations without fear, coercion, force or intimidation. Giving consent is active, not passive. It means freely choosing to say "yes" and also being free to change your mind at any time.
In Western Australia, the legal age for males and females to consent to sexual activity is 16 years. Having sex with someone under 16 years of age is a crime.
It is also a crime to have a sexual relationship with someone under 18 years where there is a relationship of authority; for example, a teacher with a student or an employer with an employee.
Regardless of age, if someone has been unable to give consent to sexual relations and they have taken place, it is a crime. People unable to give consent are those who are:
- unconscious
- asleep
- intoxicated
- drugged
- have a psychological or decision-making disability that impacts on their ability to understand what they are consenting to.
Some such scenarios are:
"I've been going out with this guy for a few months. He wanted me to have sex with him, but I wasn't ready. He started to shout and get really angry. I gave into him because I was so scared."
"I was at a party and had too much to drink. I fell asleep on a spare bed. I woke up with someone I didn't know having sex with me."
Neither of these people consented!

In the USA, applications to university are generally done directly to the university/college. Applications for admission can come before a scholarship offer is made, or following a scholarship offer.
Admission requests prior to a scholarship offer can be required to allow the admission department to confirm an academic awards that a student will receive. Once the academic awards are verified, a soccer coach will then confirm the athletic scholarship to give the whole package.
The admissions process will run its intended course smoothly provided there are no delays sending 'transcripts' (certified copies of certificates), test scores and fully completed forms. Prospective students in any event are responsible for ensuring that entrance or admission requirements are clearly understood.
When the admission process has been completed, the university/college will issue a "Congratulations" or "Welcome" letter. Following that, once the Affidavit of Financial Support (AFS) has been provided the university will issue the I-20 form which is required to begin the US Visa application process.
On a final note, you will gather the whole process can be complicated and extremely stressful unless you prepare early and take professional advice.
PASS4Soccer have professional knowledge of every step in the recruitment and admissions procedures to help guide student-athletes and parents. We are also on hand to provide guidance at each stage should you be unsure of any steps or requirements.

Washburn 3-peats as Section 7 champs
The American Legion Section 7 Tournament didn't open with a bang. The tournament opened with a whimper. There were only about seven people in the stands who weren't working, but the tournament would end according to plan with Washburn winning it.
About seven people showed up for the opening game of the Section 7 Legion Tournament game between Highway 21 and Hettinger, but the out of town teams knew they had plenty of listeners in radio land. Fox Sports 1410 covered all of the opening day action.

New Delhi, 22 September 2015: Having been retained by their individual franchisees, SV Sunil and Lalit Upadhyay are excited to exhibit a good show with their existing teams and all set to see how best they can ensure that the new regulations work in their teams favour.
Earning a much deserved retention by the Jaypee Punjab Warriors, forward SV Sunil looks forward to play with his new team and is happy on the addition of Indian Captain Sardar Singh in the team. On the other hand, forward, Lalit Upadhyay retained by Kalinga Lancers is seen focusing on devising new strategies to strengthen the forward-line for his team in the upcoming League and wanting to live up to the expectation that the franchisee has showcased on him.
Speaking on being retained by Jaypee Punjab Warriors, forward SV Sunil said, "Hockey India League is a very important tournament for each of us. I am very happy with my retention in Jaypee Punjab Warriors for the next two seasons. Having played with in this team consecutively for the last three years, I feel comfortable that I continue representing them. While I know the weak points and strengths of the rest of the team members retained I am even confident of the new members joining the franchisee. Since I was not a part of the last tournament due to my injury, I would certainly aim to raise my fitness level and try not to worsen my injuries before the League. I am looking forward to play with Sardar Singh in the team and he will add the much required boost to the attack.
Very excited to continue representing Kalinga Lancers, Lalit Upadhyay stated, "I would take the present practice session also as a learning experience for the upcoming Hockey India League. Also, with the introduction of the new regulation of one field goal to be counted as two, we will surely work hard to score more and more goals through field effort which will help us to go further in the League. The new regulation also opens the option of forwards being in contention of the top goal scorers during Hockey India League and which has got all of us excited and motivated. Post the auctions our team looks complete with a good combination all across. I am certain we will draw positive results during the Hockey India League."

One of the greatest obligations we Jews have is to dwell in our homeland, Eretz Yisrael. Fulfilling this duty bring privilege. Yet, it's costly to answer this calling.
Find treasure in reading...
On Golden Limestone
In fifty essays, On Golden Limestone glimpses the Israeli people, their communication, their day-to-day goings on, and their momentous occasions. Living in Israel means embracing multiculturalism, joining in an array of lifecycle events, and easing up on relationship strictures. Although immigrants bring foreign particularities to this place of sand and sun, Israel pours an even greater depth of character into her newcomers. It remains important, in this unique quarter, to differentiate among: modes of gesturing, ways of bargaining, and avenues for seeking children's spouses. Few geographies proffer enormity per parking tickets, dentists, or ethnic violence, concurrent with ascribing significance to aureate sunsets.
Rhetorical Candy
I used to harbor affection for all things blue and green. My world was one of ultramarine and cobalt, of viridian and cerulean. After making aliyah, I developed a new aesthetic. Now, umbers and siennas, cadmiums and ochres stir me. Where once woodlands and carpet-like valleys moved me to develop free verse or to reach for literal canvas, these days, sandy hilltops and burnt-looking wadis provoke me to write and to paint.
It is difficult to know whether I consciously changed to acclimate to my external surroundings or whether my external surroundings, without invitation from me, caused my metamorphosis. I dreamed of living in The Holy Land, but never thought that my desire would become actualized in my lifetime. I was a secular academic whose vision had been limited to two children and to tenure at some state university.

Women-owned business takes center stage at WBDC event
STAMFORD -- Women had a significant impact on the recent presidential election and they will continue to play a more significant role in the state and national economy, according to speakers at the Annual Business Breakfast of the Women's Business Development Council (WBDC) held Thursday at Stamford Marriott.
"We showed in this election that women have a voice -- probably a greater voice than ever," Cathy Malloy, First Lady of Connecticut and honorary chairwomen of the event, told the 500 people in attendance. "You will see that in business, too."
WBDC's mission is to "help women achieve economic self-reliance" through education and counseling. Open to both men and women, it is based in Stamford and has training sites throughout the state, including Norwalk and Fairfield.
Denise Merrill, Secretary of the State, said women-owned businesses in Connecticut have an employment rate of more than double the national average. That number rose 17.3 percent from 1997 to 2011, Merrill said.
"Women-owned business growth is an opportunity like nothing we've seen," she said. "Women can be the backbone of what's going to happen in business in the state."
Fran Pastore, CEO of WBDC, welcomed the crowd and said the importance of women-owned businesses in the country is too great to overlook.
"Now more than ever, corporations, federal, state and local governments need to participate in the ongoing national dialogue and pay attention to the fact that investing in women owned businesses is a strategy for job creation and economic growth," she said.
Women's increasingly important role in the economy was also the major talking point of the panel discussion that included moderator Chrystia Freeland of Thomson Reuters; Susan Sobbott, president of American Express OPEN; Barbara Kasoff, president of Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP); Lisa Price, founder of Carol's Daughter beauty company; and Amy Davis, founder and CEO of Kiss-u Corps.
Kasoff said the recent election was a "watershed moment" for women entrepreneurs.
"People are starting to see that empowering women makes a significant impact on our communities and economy," she said. "If there was a winner in this election, it was women. The world has changed for women entrepreneurs. Women should be part of every economic discussion that goes on."
Kasoff added: "If we work together in the public and private sector we will change the entire country."
Price talked about the fears she had to overcome to turn her beauty business, originally operated out of her kitchen, into a multi-million dollar empire. She now has more than 80 staff members and nine stores.
"It was scary, but each advance was necessary. Some of those fears get removed as you move forward. As you get bigger, the decisions impact more people," she said. "The biggest obstacle was myself and my own fears. How you react to difficulties is what makes it positive or negative, not the difficulty itself."
Sobbott reacted to a question about women lacking a "killer instinct" in the business world.
"Just believe in ourselves because we have it. We just have to bring it out," she said. "The more you do it, the more our daughters will, too."
To conclude the discussion, Freeland asked the panelists for quick words of advice.
Sobbott encouraged entrepreneurs to get someone to help with their businesses. Many new business owners think they can "do it all."
Price said: "Always have the phone number and email of an accountant and lawyer you trust. You can't afford to not have that."
Kasoff told the crowd to "be informed and know your stuff," and "if one of you succeed, all of you succeed."
"Join WBDC today," Davis said.
Peg Sheahan, board chairwoman of WBDC, presented the 2012 Deb Ziegler Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence to Liz Gilbert of Gilbert's Gourmet Goodies.

While landing at a rain-soaked airport in Dayton, Ohio, on Friday, an Air Force fighter jet skidded off the runway and flipped upside down, trapping two men inside for more than an hour.
A pilot took the F-16D Fighting Falcon out from Dayton International Airport in the morning to prepare for an air show this weekend, the commander of the Air Force Thunderbirds told reporters. The airport got a record-breaking amount of rain that day, according to the Dayton Daily News, but the Air Force said the weather had been deemed safe to fly in.
And sure enough, nothing happened to the F-16 while it was in the air. Even the landing - shortly after noon in wind and rain - looked smooth to one witness.
Until, that is, the jet rolled straight off the runway.
"I looked up and I said, 'Man, he's going really fast,'" the man told WHIO 7. "He was almost hydroplaning."
He saw the jet swerve left, then right, then briefly go airborne, flip and land on its canopy.
Lt. Col. Jason Heard, who leads the Air Force's aerial acrobatics team, said the jet skidded about 300 feet off the end of the runway, and that he could not recall another incident quite like it in the Thunderbirds' 64-year history.
The pilot, Capt. Erik Gonsalves, had more than 1,600 flight hours, as well as combat experience, Heard said. He had been taking Tech. Sgt. Kenneth Cordova out for a sort of practice flight before Saturday's show.
Though they weren't badly hurt, an airport official said both men were stuck inside the overturned jet for "an inordinate amount of time."
"It was complicated," Dayton aviation director Terry Slaybaugh told reporters, describing how emergency crews and airport officials took about two hours to extract the men from a military jet "we're not familiar with."
Heard said both men were conscious the whole time, and they even helped direct emergency crews in the rescue. The captain was hospitalized with cuts and a leg injury, while the tech sergeant had no apparent injuries, and both men are expected to be fine.
While it has not offered any explanation for how Gonsalves crashed, the Air Force plans to eventually release a report on its investigation.
"We have a very, very good safety record," Heard said, though he acknowledged this was not the first crash in Thunderbirds history.
It was just over a year ago, in fact, that a Thunderbirds F-16 crashed after flying over an Air Force Academy graduation ceremony with President Barack Obama in attendance - on the same day that a Navy Blue Angels pilot was killed in yet another air show incident in another state.
Air show pilots, as Thomas Gibbons-Neff wrote for The Washington Post, are typically among the best in the military.
And fatal accidents are rare, according to an analysis by the Chicago Tribune in 2015 - after an Army skydiver was killed in a performance. Excepting a catastrophic plane vs. crowd incident in Reno, Nev., that killed 11 people in 2011, the newspaper reported, most years see between one and three deaths.
Gonsalves was in his first season with the Thunderbirds, according to the Dayton Daily News, and was an advance pilot and narrator for the show. He would not have actually flown in Saturday's performance in Dayton - which, due to the crash, will now take place without the Thunderbirds' climactic flyover.

Virtual interviewing tips help you stand out as a professional in digital settings like Skype. If you're searching the web for an allied travel job or health care position, incorporate these job interview tips to make a good impression online on potential employers.
Try our virtual interviewing tips to land an assignment that works for you when applying to allied health jobs at Med Travelers.
Many of the job interview tips you use in face-to-face meetings with potential employers also apply to virtual meetings and phone interviews.
"Virtual or not, dress as though you're going to the interview in person," says Adriana S. Llames, a certified master coach. A professional appearance puts you in the right mindset. Llames says it "increase[s] your confidence, poise [and] posture and comes across visually in the virtual interview."
Voice preparation is one of the key virtual interviewing tips. "Drink warm liquids to soothe your throat," advises Dr. Nina Lum, Chief Quality Officer and Hospitalist at St. Joseph Hospital in London, KY. Alisha Powell, PhD, LCSW, says, "Sound cheery. Intentionally speak a bit higher than you usually do, and try to smile while you speak" to communicate a positive, energetic tone.
"If an employer cannot hear you properly, it can put stress on the interview and make it more challenging to hear important information," says Julia Kuhn, MS CCC-SLP. The day of the interview, "check your connection and audio at least 30 minutes prior," she advises, so you have time to correct any issues.
Virtual interviewing tips from Kent State University recommend a well-lit background with plants and pictures while advising you to avoid messy bookshelves and sunlit windows.
"A small, carpeted room is ideal acoustically," says Kuhn. Remove all distractions, and choose a quiet time of day for the interview. Polish your on-screen setting, too, with a high-quality profile photo and professional account name.
Research the employer beforehand, and show interest in the facility during the interview.
"Ask questions about the biggest challenge of the position," and "talk about your experience with the specialty," says Powell.
Dr. Lum encourages professionals to "prepare thoughtful questions as to how you will improve the organization." Also, "Don't be afraid to brag on yourself," says Powell. "Highlight being a team player and the fact that you're a quick learner."
Do not use a written cheat sheet, according to Forbes, because you make a better impression by facing forward, using eye contact and knowing the talking points well enough to discuss them with confidence.
Do a mock interview with a friend or family member to practice your job interview tips and to ensure that your equipment is working properly. Ask your role-play partner for an honest evaluation of your on-screen presence and communication. "Take their feedback seriously and adjust as appropriate," recommends Llames.

Ordinary Jamaican Families Can Capitalize On Various Financial Prospects That Exist In The Country
John Jackson addressing shareholders at Jetcon Corporation's first Annual General Meeting, as a public company, indicated that the successful performance of Jetcon since listing in 2016, reveals the rich opportunities that exist in Jamaica for Jamaicans to better themselves financially.
Jackson who is chairman of the company, went on to state that ordinary Jamaicans need adequate education, need to cooperate with and trust one another, share our assets in an organized manner and the sky is the limit to what can be achieved.
Many opportunities exist for Jamaicans to profit from, however, they need to learn how to find them. This means, with greater financial sophistication born out of knowledge, coupled with the advent and buoyancy of the Junior Market, ordinary Jamaican families can capitalize on various financial prospects that exist in the country he said.
Commenting further he said that the success of Jetcon and other newer businesses in the country suggests the need for an intervention by the Jamaican authorities to educate Jamaicans on the immense opportunities that exist to lift their quality of life through financial education and investments by pooling of their financial resources.
Jackson was speaking against the back drop of Jetcon Corporation's doubling in profits for 2016 with preliminary data to May 2017, showing revenues rising by 75 percent and profit of approximately 150 percent over 2016. BM

- A special six-course dinner at Silo on 3rd October co-hosted by Ryan Chetiyawardana, AKA Mr Lyan, named the King of Cocktails by The Telegraph, who will be pairing specially created drinks with chef Douglas McMaster's sustainable menu.
- Claw and Craft, a night of seafood and craft ales at The Urchin on 5th October.
- A beer and cheese-pairing event at the Brighton Beer Dispensary with Brighton's Best
Restaurant's co-founder and cheese expert Patrick McGuigan on 9th October.
- Renowned broadcaster, food writer and Financial Times restaurant critic Tim Hayward will visit the city during the festival (date to be confirmed) to give a demonstration based around his bestselling book Knife at The Ginger Pig in Hove.
Three restaurants are taking part in OctoberBest for the first time in 2017 and are set to make impressive debuts. Cin Cin, which offers casual Italian dining, are serving three courses to include reginelle, a type of pasta rarely served in the UK, with squash, wild mushrooms and sage; The Urchin, a Hove seafood and craft beer gastropub, will serve up 'The Urchin Sizzler', a platter of scallops, prawns and squid in a black bean sauce with sticky rice; and small plates and wine specialists Fourth and Church are matching three glasses from their extensive list with three courses that include red wine-braised ox cheek, smoked parsnip and cultured leeks.
The battle to win the Best OctoberBest Dish award – which will be announced at the third annual Brighton's Best Restaurants ceremony in February 2018 – is fierce. Current titleholders The Chilli Pickle are attempting to top their mighty pork knuckle vindaloo with 'Al and D's Toddy Shop', a take on the food served in working men's social shacks in Alleppey in Kerala and will include a platter of fresh fish, curries, fiery snacks and tender coconut home brew. Michael Bremner is serving his Great British Menu-winning dish 'The Grass is Greener' (braised ox tongue served with grass-cooked potatoes) at his flagship 64 Degrees restaurant, while leading vegetarian restaurant Terre a Terre have created 'The Asian Persausion', an array of dishes that includes steamed rice buns stuffed with Szechuan-marinated halloumi and ginger bok choy.
"The inaugural OctoberBest festival was hugely successful in bringing Brighton's rapidly evolving restaurant scene to greater local and national attention and this year the participating restaurants and we, as organisers, have gone the extra mile to make the event even better," says Andy Lynes, cofounder of Brighton's Best Restaurants alongside fellow Brightonians Patrick McGuigan and Euan Macdonald (co-founder, 60 Second Reviews). "There appears to be some friendly rivalry with each restaurant trying to out-do the next and so the menus are even more inventive, delicious sounding and better value than last year, which is great news for the dining public."
The quality, wealth and diversity of Brighton's restaurant scene will be represented by fine dining at Little Fish Market (Brighton's most highly rated restaurant with three AA rosettes, 5 in the Good Food Guide and 5 out of 5 for exceptional food from Hardens), Japanese gastropub food at Bincho Yakitori and stunning Sussex seafood at The Salt Room and Riddle and Finns.
Each restaurant will offer its own spin on OctoberBest and all the details of the offers and how to book will be available to view at www.brightonsbestrestaurants.com from today.
We are proud to announce that this year's OctoberBest is supported by MHA Carpenter Box (carpenterbox.com), the leading firm of Chartered Accountants, Tax and Business Advisors in Sussex and that our media partner is Square Meal (squaremeal.co.uk).
For more information, hi-res images or interviews with the founders or any of the restaurateurs or chefs involved in OctoberBest, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
(*Except Little Fish Market who will be offering a 20 per cent discount on the cost of the menu with paired wines).

First Concepts: The Nomads of Thunderduneon July 11, 2009 at 13:19
So, I wish I took better care of my concept sketches for characters. I suppose the safest way to keep records (for me, at least) is to scan them and upload them, rather than leaving them in the crumpled stack next to my drawing desk gathering dust (as is the current situation).
Here is the original sketch I came up with when first brainstorming the Nomads of Thunderdune:

had a look at the pictures — isn't it like living in airport lobbies? how to feel at home??

An airport lobby? I don't know about that. Maybe an international first class lounge at an airport, at the very least. In all seriousness, I think we all have different notions of what makes us comfortable and where we feel at home. The architecture and furnishings in Jonathan's house actually put many people (myself included) far more at ease than what many people consider to be a "homey" environment (i.e. floral prints, layering pillows, lots of knick-knacks/clutter, overstuffed, ginormous sofas, crown moulding, etc.). Jonathan's house is very peaceful and has a zen-garden like quality. He takes a lot of inspiration from Japanese architecture (both modern and traditional), and the main point of the house is to melt away into the garden and the view to the ocean as much as possible, while still providing maximum privacy from the street. When you're inside, it feels like your own private sanctuary. And it feels like you're outside, even when you're not. Not for everyone, I know, but I'd live there in a heartbeat.

I love this house too! But I find minimalism very soothing at home. Clutter is essential in the studio but I don't like it in my living area. I'd live there in a flash.
Eva Says:
April 9th, 2010 at 1:17 pm
Flower cushions and clutter are not the only alternative to a spacey living like this! Don't get me wrong, it is an exiting house and very, very elegant and beautiful. But it provides no shelter for the old troglodyte soul of mine.

Fixfest, the first ever international festival bringing together community repair groups and individuals interested in making things more sustainable, takes place from 6-8 October in London.
Fixfest will bring together volunteer repairers and tinkerers, activists, policy-makers, thinkers, and companies from all over the world in the name of taking greater care of the things we own – and creating better products.
Fixfest will host a series of talks, discussions and workshops. Those from the 'repair community' will be encouraged to share experiences, skills and frustrations, such as the barriers to repairing certain products.
The event's organisers, The Restart Project, say: "We'll be assembling diverse community repair groups, social and environmental activists, makers and tinkerers from Holland to Argentina; each with their own fascinating insights into the world of repair, and with a joint passion for a less wasteful world.
"In forging links between diverse groups and individuals, we hope Fixfest will lay the groundwork for a more connected global network of grassroots activists. Community repair events and local initiatives make a difference, but if we want to see worldwide change in the ways we design, consume and keep products, we need to start thinking together."
The Restart Project is a people-powered platform for change, with the aim of encouraging people to look at electronics in a sustainable way and to increase the demand for more sustainable, better electronics.
The London-based social enterprise empowers people to use their electronics longer in order to reduce waste.
The Restart Project take local action to prevent electronic waste through hands-on, learning events where they help people fix their own electronics – and help others to do the same globally.
Fixfest takes place at various venues in London from 6-8 October. For tickets click here.

The physics community knew Richard Feynman as an extraordinary physicist. His was a brilliant mind that took nothing too seriously except the quest for understanding the natural world. His many facets have been narrated in biographies. Here, daughter Michelle Feynman reveals to the world many of his personal letters to all and sundry: to his sweetheart, the Nobel academy, crackpots, fellow physicists, and more. His sheer honesty may be seen in these letters: never a hypocritical note for the sake of politeness. His humanity and compassion also become transparent through the correspondence. Letters concerning his resignation from the National Academy of Sciences show his disregard for honors and bureaucracy. Sometimes he expresses tersely profound truths: "You cannot understand the physical world in any deep or satisfying way without using mathematical reasoning with facility." Sometimes he is lighthearted, replying to an exuberant fan's mail: "I am now unique–a physicist with a fan who has fallen in love with him from seeing him on TV…. I need no longer be jealous of movie stars." It is remarkable that Feynman cared enough to take the time to answer so many letters from all over the world. Photographs spice the volume, making this a fascinating coffee-table book.

A plague of carjackings and home invasions believed to have been visited on Melbourne's affluent suburbs by the violent Apex gang has police urging the public to increase their personal security while officers step up street patrols.
On Tuesday, Assistant Commissioner Bob Hill said there had been a spike in car-related crime, "where the Mercs, the Audis, the BMWs are parked in the driveways and streets of our leafy suburbs".
"We haven't seen an increase in crime in those areas for some time," he said.
The loosely knit teenage gang is being held responsible for the vicious assault of a Mercedes driver on Monday and a subsequent home invasion in which the man's luxury car was used.
The victim – Avondale Heights man Michael Tallal – spoke about his terrifying experience on Facebook in a post that has been shared more than 4000 times.
Mr Tallal, 29, pulled over his car on Toorak Road in Toorak at 2am on Monday after it was hit from behind by another car, believed to be a grey Nissan.
When Mr Tallal got out to speak with the other driver, he was attacked by "five or six" men and hit on the head with a baseball bat, police said.
Michael Tallal spoke on Facebook about a terrifying carjacking in Toorak. Photo: Facebook
The men then demanded Mr Tallal's mobile phone before ordering him to hand over his car keys. They then sped off in the Mercedes.
"The police have advised me that this is a known gang to them committing these crimes all over Melbourne," Mr Tallal wrote on Facebook.
Apex gang members were held responsible for last month's Moomba riots in the CBD.
Mr Tallal, who went to hospital, said his glasses and watch were smashed during the attack as he was attempting to shield his face.
When he was released from hospital, he said, he found out his car had been used for "numerous other crimes" including a home invasion in Cranbourne.

Carjackings are on the rise across the city and many communities are becoming increasingly fearful.
Earlier this month after a carjacking in Elsternwick, businessman Avi Yemini set up a Facebook page called J-Safe for victims of such crime.
"Look in the rear vision mirror, how many people are in that car? What are they doing?" said Assistant Commissioner Bob Hill. Photo: Craig Abraham
Mr Yemini said the page had been created in response to an increase in crimes against members of Melbourne's Jewish community.
He said many residents placed the blame for the crime wave on the Apex gang, which has also been held responsible for last month's Moomba riots in the CBD.
Assistant Commissioner Hill said police were increasing patrols across the city's wealthier suburbs as a result of the rise in car-related crime, and urged residents to increase their security.
He said the increase in carjackings and aggravated burglaries was because of increased car security, which made it harder to hotwire vehicles.
But he hosed down suggestions that most of such crimes were committed by Apex members, saying affiliations were "loose".
Mr Hill said that of the 70 people arrested through Taskforce Tense – set up in November to monitor Apex – only 26 were connected with the gang.
The criminals responsible were often connected with a loosely networked group via social media, he said.
"We're seeing this type of behaviour replicated by others in our community engaging in this thrill-seeking, risk-taking behaviour replicating the Grand Theft Auto PlayStation game," he said.
"They don't have a clubhouse, they don't wear colours.
"This is a group of young people committing these offences."
Assistant Commissioner Hill rebuffed suggestions that the police pursuit policy was stopping officers from apprehending offenders.
"Where someone is engaging in an aggravated burglary … clearly the policy allows our members to engage in pursuit," he said.
While Mr Tallal suggested that people in a crash should call the police before getting out of their vehicle, Assistant Commissioner Hill said everyone's circumstances were different.
He suggested people be aware of their surroundings before getting out of the car.
"Look in the rear vision mirror, how many people are in that car? What are they doing?" he said.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Shares of Intel INTC, +1.30% were last down 2.1% at $25.60, and headed for its fourth-straight losing session, ahead of its mid-quarter update due out after Thursday's closing bell. The stock, a component of the Dow industrials, has now lost 6.7% since the Dec. 2 close of $27.43, which was the highest close in fourth months. The declines come in the face of several calls by analysts over the last week that the chip making giant would raise the mid-point of its fourth-quarter revenue forecast, currently at $10.5 billion ($10.2 billion to $10.8 billion expected), and a raised outlook from mobile phone chip maker Texas Instruments.

The Way I See It #92

You are not an accident. Your parents may not have planned you but God did. He wanted you alive and created you for a purpose. Focusing on yourself will never reveal your purpose. You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense. Only in God do we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance, and our destiny.

- Data as of 6/30/18. Assets Owned and Operated (AOO) represents the aggregate assets owned and operated by CIM on behalf of partners (including where CIM contributes alongside for its own account) and co-investors, whether or not CIM has discretion, in each case without duplication. AOO includes total gross assets at fair value, with real assets presented on the basis described in the Book Value disclosure and operating companies presented at gross assets less debt, as of June 30, 2018 ("the Report Date") (including the shares of such assets owned by joint venture partners and co-investments), plus binding unfunded commitments. AOO also includes the $0.3 billion of AOO attributable to CIM Compass Latin America (CCLA), which is 50% owned and jointly operated by CIM. AOO for CMMT Partners, L.P. (which represents assets under management), a perpetual-life real estate debt fund, is $0.5 billion as of the Report Date.
Book Value for each investment generally represents the investment's book value as reflected in the applicable fund's unaudited financial statements as of the Report Date prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles on a fair value basis. These book values generally represent the asset's third-party appraised value as of the Report Date, but in the case of CIM's net-lease strategy, book values generally represent undepreciated cost (as reflected in SEC-filed financial statements).
- There is no guarantee that any CCO Group program will replicate these types of liquidity events, if at all, and the programs are not required to effect a liquidity event at any time. The programs have limited liquidity as there is no public market, and one may never exist, for shares of common stock. There is no guarantee investors will receive a distribution. Distributions have been paid from proceeds of the offering, from borrowings and may be derived from sources other than cash flow from operations, including sales of assets, and there are no limits on the amounts that may be paid from other sources.

RTI System Designer for Connext DDS
RTI System Designer is a tool that allows you to graphically design and configure Connext DDS systems.
You can see it as a User Interface to XML-Based Application Creation, a technology that allow to specify in XML format all the aspects of a DDS System:
- The Data Types that will be used to communicate information in the system
- The Topics that will be used in the domain, associating each Topic with a Data Type
- The DomainParticipant that can potentially be used, giving each a participant name
- The DataWriters and DataReaders present within each DomainParticipant, each associated with its corresponding Topic.
The application code simply indicates the participant configuration name of the DomainParticipant that the application wants to create. The XML-Based Application Creation infrastructure takes care of the rest: creating the DomainParticipant, registering the types and Topics, and populating all the configured Entities.
Writing this XML can be quite challenging. Using a good editor with autocompletion capabilities along with the XML Schema provided can be of great help. But it is still quite complicated, especially when as the project gets bigger and involves multiple files.
The RTI System Designer UI tool can help ease this process and manage the complexity of a large system.

(Photo by Matt Emmett) A man dangled about 30 feet above I-5 at the end of a police foot chase through Capitol Hill Thursday afternoon, according to witnesses who documented the end of the chase. "You're used to people doing that in movies, but not in real life," said Matt Emmett, a construction worker who was near the REI store on Eastlake Avenue East when he saw what was happening. Police officers eventually helped the man climb back up the ledge to be taken into custody. Seattle Police Department spokesman Jeff Kappel said the man was wanted for a misdemeanor warrant, but did not say what the warrant was for or what led officers to initiate the chase.

Click for the betting on the Primera Division and claim your free bets
Real Betis will provide a tough test on Saturday evening for Real Madrid as the league leaders will have one eye on Wednesday night's Champions League clash with CSKA Moscow.
Jose Mourinho's team haven't lost in the league since December and are currently 10 points ahead of Barcelona in the Primera Division table.
Real Betis' form fluctuates between brilliant and dire and they are coming into Saturday's match with Madrid on the back of a 3-1 away defeat at the hands of Levante.
Malaga will kick off the action on Saturday as they host Levante in an attempt to overhaul the high-flying Juan Ignacio Martinez's side, who are currently in fourth place.
Levante have been on a dismal run since the end of 2011 and the beginning of this year but they have since started to turn things around with two consecutive wins over Espanyol and Betis, while Malaga are also coming into this match on the back of two wins, over Real Zaragoza and Getafe.
The bottom placed side, Real Zaragoza, are currently three points off Sporting Gijon in 19th position and they will need a massive performance against Real Sociedad to help bring themselves closer to getting off the foot of the table.
Zaragoza's closest rivals in the league Sporting Gijon will host Sevilla on Saturday, who boast wins over Osasuna and Valencia in their last three games, as well as a 1-1 draw over Atletico.
Barcelona will need to respond to Real Madrid's Saturday result when they travel to Racing Santander on Sunday, with Pep Guardiola's side hoping to put their poor away form behind them.
Lionel Messi was in spectacular form in the Champions League this week, scoring five of Barca's goals in their 7-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen and the mercurial Argentine returns to the Barcelona squad after serving his one match suspension last week.
Valencia got back to winning ways in the league last week with a 3-1 win over Granada and they will hope to keep improving this weekend as they face Mallorca at the Mestalla.
Atletico Madrid will be going into their game against Granada full of confidence after their 3-1 win in the Europa League over Besiktas.
Atheltic Bilbao will do well to pick themselves up and repeat their excellent performance against Manchester United in the Europa League as they travel to Osasuna in the race to the last Champions League spot.
Elsewhere on Sunday, Espanyol will host Rayo Vallecano will also be battling for a place in Europe while Villarreal and Getafe will compete in Monday night's fixture.
