Last June I took a leap and left the Virtual Tour company I'd been with for 10 years.
Let me say, it was the best move I ever made! I am happier, more confident, and more invested in my photography. This first year on my own has flown by, I was delighted at how many agents continued to choose me for their photos and more than a bit surprised at how many new agents are now regular clients.
Thank you to everyone who has used my services over the last year
I started out doing what I knew – pretty much followed the pricing and packages of the VT company because that is what I and my clients were familiar with. Over the months I began to realise that there are some things I'd like to do differently. Mainly I hate counting photos, each package comes with a set number of photos but different properties require different amounts. I wanted more freedom.
Also, sometimes, I can arrive at the occasional property and realise it's going to take longer to shoot whether or not the agent requests a higher number of photos. If I know ahead of time and if the agent asks for more photos it's not a problem, but if I only realise it once I get there it can be a bit stressful – I'll end up spending longer at the property and then have to whittle down the photos I do take to make them fit a regular package. This wastes quite a bit of time, upsets my schedule, and is not a sustainable way of doing things.
Anyone who knows me probably realises that if I'm 5 minutes late for an appointment that I'm already in a panic. I have to be on time!! I think it's part of a good relationship with agents, I appreciate that you all have schedules to keep and that I'm just one little time slot in that schedule. I think I've hit on a plan that could benefit us all. These larger properties make up maybe 5% of homes, I'd say if they are over 2500 sq ft it's safe to consider it larger property, if there are extensive grounds that need to be featured or if it's just a very unique property.
With that in mind here is my plan – IF you have a larger property, I can offer two options, so that you can choose which works better for your client and your budget. If you let me know ahead of time I can do either:
Option 1 – I shoot a standard package and am on site the normal amount of time – up to 45 mins, and your cost remains the same. BUT I focus on the highlights of the property – the main living area, kitchen, master bed/bath and grounds. Rooms such as second, third bedrooms, laundry etc. will not be shot.
Option 2 – I shoot a Plus package and am on site up to 75 mins and deliver more photos covering all the rooms and grounds.
This helps us both stay on schedule, and lets you decide how you'd like to showcase the property.
Other than that I am restructuring my packages to focus more on time on site than number of photos. Again we both benefit – I can stay on schedule and you get the number of photos needed to cover the property, you don't need to forego a shot of a beautiful fireplace for example, in order to show a third bedroom. That said, I firmly believe in quality over quantity and most regular homes will probably run between 25-35 photos. I want people to look at the photos and want to see more of the home, I don't want them to know how the house looks from every conceivable angle, or see every nook and cranny. Did you know that less photos rather than more is actually a good marketing tactic? In some countries it's common to only show 8 or 10 images of home, providing they are quality photos they will leave prospective buyers wanting to book a viewing to see more.
So there it is – a Standard package will include up to 45 mins on site and the Virtual Tour hosting, a Plus package will allow for 75 minutes on site, include the Virtual Tour Hosting as well as a YouTube video. Extra time/images can be purchased if you need it, and for small properties there will be a Lite package that just includes photos, no Virtual Tour.
Optional add-ons will be Panoramic Images, Virtual Tour (for Lite package), YouTube Video (for Lite and Standard packages), Extra time/images, Custom Domains and Custom Feature Sheets.
Phew! Thanks for your patience and understanding if you've read this far, here's to year number two and making it even better than the first!

Earlier this year Jeff Reifman — a veteran of the Seattle tech industry — contacted Grab Your Wallet co-founder Shannon Coulter with an idea.
He had compiled lists of Twitter accounts using a tool called Block Together, which allows people to instantly block groups of users on the platform. The idea was to get folks to block Twitter advertisers to encourage the platform to remove toxic accounts. That's in line with the mission of Grab Your Wallet, a left-leaning group that encourages people not to give business to companies that carry Trump family products among other initiatives causes.
But at the time, Reifman's blocking campaign didn't get off the ground. That changed when public concern over Alex Jones and his Infowars brand started to grow. This week, Coulter picked up Reifman's cause, asking her 89,000 followers to block Fortune 500 companies, using Block Together, in an effort to get Twitter to remove Jones.
"I chose Fortune 500 companies [because] they represent the bulk of Twitter's ad revenue," Coulter tweeted. "They're also powerful enough to put real pressure on Twitter's leadership team. Finally, I feel it would be neither fair nor strategic to target smaller businesses, so I focused on the big players."
As of Tuesday, more than 50,000 Twitter users had blocked the companies. The campaign is organized around the hashtag, #BlockParty500.
Good morning! To encourage Twitter to drop Alex Jones, I just blocked the Twitter accounts of every Fortune 500 company w/ a Twitter presence. Ready to mass block Twitter's most lucrative advertisers with me? There are three quick & easy ways. Instructions are in this thread.
— Shannon Coulter (@shannoncoulter) August 12, 2018
YouTube, Facebook, Spotify, Apple, Pinterest, and Vimeo have all removed Infowars from their platforms in the face of mounting pressure from the public. Jones has come under fire for spreading conspiracy theories, most infamously that the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre was staged.
But Twitter is resisting pressure to remove Jones. Last week, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted his reasons.
We didn't suspend Alex Jones or Infowars yesterday. We know that's hard for many but the reason is simple: he hasn't violated our rules. We'll enforce if he does. And we'll continue to promote a healthy conversational environment by ensuring tweets aren't artificially amplified.
— jack (@jack) August 8, 2018
Twitter walked that claim back after a CNN report revealed several tweets that did appear to violate the company's rules. Twitter did not immediately respond to our questions about the #BlockParty500 campaign.
"Horrible, hostile people are being allowed to continue to put their lies in paint on the platform and it's time for that stop," Reifman told GeekWire. "I think Twitter will have to face this. When they decide to, that has a lot to do with pressure that groups like Grab Your Wallet put on them."
Editor's note: This story has been updated with details of the CNN report.

Regional Plan Association, HR&A Advisors Inc., and the Rauch Foundation released new research this week highlighting the high demand for multifamily housing on Long Island. The report, funded by the Rauch Foundation as part of the Long Island Index, uses RPA's regional population projections to estimate future housing demand on Long Island, and suggests possible strategies for creating an adequate supply of new housing.
The study found that although Long Island has recently started building more rentals, co-ops, condominiums and other multifamily homes than it has in previous decades, a big gap still exists between what is being produced and what the region needs. RPA projects that Long Island could gain 158,000 households by 2030. Yet if housing construction continues along recent trends, only 64,000 new housing units are likely to be developed in the same time period,meeting only 40% of the anticipated need.
By failing to build enough housing to meet projected demand, Long Island is essentially keeping housing prices high. Young adults are currently forced to leave Long Island due to a lack of affordable options. Some of the smallest one-bedroom apartments recently built are only affordable to those earning six-figure incomes. HR&A projects that roughly one-third of all new households on Long Island will earn between $50,000 and $125,000 in 2030, – strongly highlighting the need for more options for this income bracket.
In addition to being unaffordable to a large portion of the population, development on Long Island isn't meeting Americans' changing housing preferences. The study found that by 2030, more than two-thirds of new households coming to Long Island will prefer walkable, mixed-use communities. RPA estimates that the population of 25 to 44 year olds in Long Island could increase by 17% in the next 15 years, an age group that prefers areas with amenities, walkability and character. Additionally, Long Island's baby boomers will be aging, increasing the population of those over 65 by 54% in the next 15 years looking to downsize from their single-family homes. If Long Island continues to build predominantly single-family homes, these households might choose to live elsewhere.
In order to accommodate the anticipated growth, RPA and HR&A analyzed various zoning, policy, and development strategies. Recommendations included increasing building heights and how much of a lot can be developed, while also easing regulations on accessory dwelling units - also known as "grandma flats" - in appropriate areas of single-family neighborhoods. The study also stresses the importance of infrastructure investments to support new multifamily development. By making the necessary regulatory improvements, communities across Long Island can reduce project failures, lower development costs, and ultimatelylower housing costs.
This research grows out of earlier RPA research highlighting Long Island's housing affordability crisis. To learn more, see RPA's 2013 report "Long Island's Rental Housing Crisis," or RPA and Long Island Community Foundation's 2015 research at the Institute for Attainable Homes.

MetalStorm has been pushing their military hardware for a while now (and without much tangible success), but since their weapon technology seems to be making the rounds again, here's an admittedly cool video of one of their multi-barrel one million rounds per minute prototype guns destroying some defenseless stacks of plywood in slow-mo:
In a nutshell, MetalStorm achieves these ridiculously high rates of fire by stacking multiple bullets in multiple barrels and firing them all virtually at the same time with electronic triggers. The system is adaptable to a variety of ammunition (like grenades), and can be mounted on aircraft or vehicles or controlled remotely. So why no luck with the military? I can't say for certain, but I would guess that you rarely need to fire 1,000,000 rounds a minute, and when you might, they've already got stuff that works pretty well.

It was the state
of the dawn
of garbage
masked in
balaclavas of flame
It was the state
of curtains hanged
in the mayor's
foyer, lavish red
into city streets
It was the state
of exhaust
the freeway,
beneath its own
It was the gape
between the gun's
roar, where shells
tinkled like
little bits of
laughter choked
It was the way
they plucked
his eyes, carved
away his ears
as if discarding
pomegranate rinds
the way the crisp
fabric of a uniform
holds in their bodies
just the same
their hardened pits
of hate, the peeling back
of a face, the state
of disremembering
that 43
is a prime number,
not reducible
no matter how much
accelerant it takes.
Dedicated to Julio César Mondragón & the 43 Mexican Students who were captured, tortured, & killed in Iguala, Mexico.

Usually with these Look for Less posts, one of the looks very clearly begat the other. The ultra-luxury brands come up with an idea, and then all of the mid-range brands rush to do their spin on the burgeoning trend to capture customers that might not have the cash on hand to splurge on the bag that technically came first. Surprisingly, that's not at all the case with the Christian Louboutin Maelita Bowler Bag (left) and the Marc by Marc Jacobs Tavi Piercing Shoulder Bag (right). In fact, the two bags showed up on the New Arrivals page at Saks on the exact same day.
Pierced leather seems to be something of a burgeoning beta trend, sort of like tie-dye, that flies below the radar of the most passive fashion fans and doesn't get the sort of press or attention that alpha trends like studs and mini crossbodies do, simply because they're not quite as omnipresent. A lot of editors and fashionistas seemed to be fans of Pucci's pierced bags at the most recent fashion weeks, but the gathered look that these two bags showcase is even more fun.
The hardware is relatively subtle and the gathering that it creates is a great showcase for good leather, which brings me to the somewhat odd conclusion: I like the cheaper one better. Louboutin's bag looks oddly proportioned with such large top-handles and the leather looks like it might be a bit thin in person. If the brand had chosen a more supple look with a bigger body and smaller top-handles, this bag could be great.
The Marc by Marc Jacob option, however, is great just how it is. The texture of the leather looks smooth, but not too smooth, and I like the slightly glazed look that it manages to have without looking stiff. Plus, in addition to this bag featuring a strong beta trend, the crossbody shape is one that everyone needs to have in her closet right now.
Christian Louboutin available via Saks for $2195.
Marc by Marc Jacobs available via Saks for $348.

Car market leader Maruti Suzuki India Limited launched its much awaited compact car, Celerio, with the revolutionary Auto Gear Shift here today. With fuel efficiency same as the Manual transmission, the revolutionary Auto Gear Shift, christened EZ Drive, is all set to redefine the car driving experience on Indian roads. Interestingly, Auto Gear Shift on the Celerio is a first for India amongst passenger cars.
Poised to stir the A2 segment Celerio is a complete package full of pleasant surprises. Among several benefits, Celerio comes with a best in class fuel efficiency of 23.1 kmpl, for both, Auto Gear Shift and the Manual Transmission variants.
Celerio is launched at an attractive price. This price puts to rest any argument that superior technology is expensive. Often, the wide price gap between Manual and Automatic transmission variants prompts buyers to settle for manual transmission cars.
With Celerio, the Company is keen to change these perceptions and raise the technology bar.
Unveiling the Celerio, Mr Kenichi Ayukawa, Managing Director & CEO said, "Maruti Suzuki has always believed in offering cars that set new benchmarks of technology, style and overall costs in India. Maruti Suzuki Celerio is the latest example that brings path breaking Auto Gear Shift technology in cars for the first time and that too, in country's most popular compact car segment. The Celerio promises a new, convenient and fun to drive experience, with top class fuel efficiency, at a highly attractive price and low maintenance cost. We are confident that Celerio will soon become a popular choice among customers as they enjoy the benefits that this new technology brings."
The Celerio is stylish on the outside and has roomy, spacious & functional interiors with a large boot. Offered in six variants, including two with Auto Gear Shift, the Celerio is powered by the high performing K-next petrol engine.
Auto Gear Shift: Harbinger of a revolution
Mated with the K-next engine, the Auto Gear Shift is Suzuki Motor Corporation's newly developed technology that promises superior drive experience to the users. Powered by an intelligent actuating unit, driving is effortless with Auto Gear Shift.
Auto Gear Shift is a departure from the traditional configuration, as it has only two pedals. The two pedal drive relieves the driver from synchronising between clutch and gear shift lever and brings immense value in start-stop traffic conditions.

Being Your Authentic Self
I'm very honoured to have been selected as one of WXN's Top 100 Winners for 2018 — and with such illustrious company! To my fellow winners, a heartfelt congratulations. To members of WXN and beyond, a sincere thank you for your support and encouragement throughout the years. While I accept this award graciously, I recognize that we all contribute to each other's success.
There are ample stories I could share of my professional journey, some funny, some not so humorous, and certainly a boatload of advice. But the one piece of guidance I would like to share is the notion of being your authentic self and finding the passion that drives you.
For me, my passion has always been technology. As a young girl, my mother encouraged me to enter what was then a male-dominated field of study, because I had a genuine curiosity and spark about how things connected in our world, how technology worked to make our lives simpler and faster. Now, with over 35 years of technology and management experience behind me, I recognize that that was the pivotal moment in my life – when someone saw my passion and encouraged me to move forward regardless of what obstacles were present.
As a senior executive, I now have a responsibility to provide the same level of encouragement, inspiration and support to young people looking to own their passion — hopefully in the cyber security space! Having said that, I encourage young people who have a flair for technology to get into cyber security, right now. Companies worldwide are facing a serious talent shortage when it comes to cyber professionals, with more than 1.5 million people needed in this industry by 2020, according to the Information and Communication Technology Council. Currently, women represent only 20 percent of that statistic, so I believe that there is tremendous opportunity for young women in this industry.
I do believe that following your passion and living your authentic self leads to success. We have 100 women [in 2018] who are living proof of that.
Thank you again for this incredible recognition.

Soldiers from the 1st Battalion Scots Guards, returning home from a tour of duty in Afghanistan, have been welcomed in the streets of Ayr by hundreds of well wishers.
The Battalion has a long association with South Ayrshire, and the parade was organised to give local residents the chance to express their support for the troops, returning home from active service in Afghanistan.
The Scots Guards were granted the Freedom of the District by Kyle and Carrick District Council in 1979, and the 2010 homecoming parade was the first time they have exercised their right to march through Ayr with fixed bayonets.
Assembling at County Buildings, the Battalion was inspected by South Ayrshire Provost Winifred Sloan, before moving off along Pavilion Road, Barnes Street, Dalblair Road, Alloway Street and onto Ayr's High Street, where Provost Sloan took the eyes-right salute at the Wallace Tower.
The Battalion continued their parade along the High Street, flanked by scores of people cheering and applauding them, arriving at Ayr Town Hall, where Provost Sloan hosted an informal reception.
Provost Sloan said: "I was delighted so many people in South Ayrshire turned out to support the 1st Battalion Scots Guards, returning home after a particularly difficult tour of duty.
"Veterans, service personnel, families, friends and local residents took to the streets to give our troops a heartfelt and warm South Ayrshire welcome home as they return to their loved ones in time for Christmas.
"It was a great privilege to take part in the Battalion's salute to the Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire at the Wallace Tower and I was proud to mark their first parade with a reception at the Town Hall."
Commanding Officer of the Battalion Lieutenant Colonel Lincoln Jopp said: "It is a great pleasure, and indeed an honour, for the Scots Guards to be able to come back home to Scotland and to share the joy of our homecoming with the people of South Ayrshire.
"While we were over in Afghanistan we were inundated with love and support from home, and had a great sense that people back in Scotland were rooting for us every step of the way.
"Our mission was incredibly difficult, and there wasn't a day that passed when I did not marvel at just how fantastic these brave young Scots Guardsmen are. I am so proud of every single one of them, and I know that Scotland is too. So it's great to be able to share that pride."
Provost Sloan concluded: "As we welcome the Scots Guards safe homecoming, it is appropriate to look back and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us, their colleagues, the Battalion and their country.
"For some families, the festive season will be a sombre and difficult time, remembering loved ones who did not come home, or those brave men and women injured or maimed in combat.
"I hope all service families receive the love and support they need to move on with their lives, and trust this break from duty will give all Scots Guards a well earned chance to rest and recuperate from the rigours of service in Afghanistan.
"On behalf of the people of South Ayrshire and the Council , I would like to wish the Battalion a restful Christmas and a Happy New Year."

CO2 Laser Phoenix
Complete Facial Skin Rejuvenation with CO2 Laser in Arizona
Pixel CO2 Fractional
The sun in Arizona is relentless and skin damage shows up on our faces eventually. Healthy, or unhealthy skin, indicates to everyone around us our age, health, vitality, and how well we take care of ourselves. No matter how healthy you are, no matter if you meticulously apply sunblock on every outing, your skin may need of professional maintenance and rejuvenation.
As you age, the youthful appearance of your skin may give way to loss of elasticity, discoloration, sun spots, wrinkles, and pore enlargement. Laser treatments can improve these skin conditions as well as your appearance. If you would like to improve the surface and appearance of your skin, reduce fine lines, surface irregularities such as scarring, uneven pigmentation and sun damage, then skin resurfacing with a fractional C02 laser may be right for you. The laser is used to remove areas of damaged or wrinkled skin, layer by layer. The healing process is then stimulated, and fresh skin is revealed.
Sometimes your skin has to have a complete start over that only a CO2 laser can provide. The CO2 laser that we use is the gold standard by plastic surgeons today. Manufactured by Alma Lasers, the Pixel CO2 Fractional Laser is an FDA-approved system with many different treatment applications, including acne scarring, wrinkles, looseness as well as other effects of aging and sun damage. This safe, effective laser can be used to treat nearly any skin on the body, and is most commonly used on the face, neck, chest and hands.
The UltraPulse system is a carbon dioxide laser, which have been used for many years for effective skin resurfacing. While traditional CO2 lasers remove the entire surface of the skin in order to reveal fresh, new layers underneath, the UltraPulse laser uses fractional laser technology to effectively resurface the skin using thousands of parallel micro-laser beams, with minimal side effects and risks.
With fractional laser technology, the laser penetrates only small areas of the skin, depending on the size of the laser beam. This allows the laser to penetrate the skin deeper than before without scarring. Depending on the goals of the individual patient's procedure, different hand pieces may be utilized for this treatment.
Pixel Fractional CO2 Procedure
This procedure is performed under local anesthesia in your doctor's office. Treatment takes about 30 minutes to complete, depending on the size and location of the treated area. Some patients may choose to have individual areas of the face treated, while others seek treatment for the entire face.
After anesthesia is applied to the treatment area, the laser energy is applied to the targeted area. The damaged skin is safely removed with little to no damage to the surrounding area, and allows new, younger-looking skin to develop underneath.
The actual process involved with the UltraPulse procedure depends on the type of treatment being performed. Some of the most common uses for this laser include:
- Active FX – This treatment is commonly used to tighten skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and stimulate collagen production for a younger looking appearance. Active FX uses a large spot treatment.
- Deep FX – Deep FX uses a small but deep treatment to improve the appearance of scars and other spots, as well as smooth deep wrinkles and other lines. It effectively treats aged, sun-damaged or scarred skin and produces long-lasting results.
Recovery from CO2 Treatment
After treatment, patients may experience swelling and redness. The skin may appear similar to having a mild sunburn. After about five to seven days, a new layer of skin will form and makeup can be applied to cover any remaining side effects. Pain after this procedure is minimal, and results are visible as the skin heals. Most patients return to work after a week, although when you return is up to you.
Some patients may experience a mild breakout as new skin develops, along with scabbing, peeling and flaking. These side effects are considered normal and usually go away on their own within two weeks.
Once the healing process is complete, patients often experience significant improvements to the appearance of their skin, including:
- Reduced scarring
- Eliminated areas of pigmentation
- Tightened skin
- Improved skin tone and texture
- Improved appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
Patients should avoid direct sun exposure and be sure to wear sunscreen after the UltraPulse treatment, as the new skin is highly sensitive. Most patients are highly satisfied with the results of their procedure and can enjoy rejuvenated skin that can be maintained as long as proper skin care techniques are practiced.
Is laser resurfacing right for me?
Laser skin resurfacing can improve your appearance after just one treatment. The laser removes the outer layers of skin, promoting collagen production within your skin. This causes your skin to regenerate and fresh layers of skin become visible. After your treatment, you will see smoother, brighter skin.
Laser resurfacing is best when patients need a more aggressive treatment than a facial, chemical peel or microdermabrasion. As one of the most advanced laser devices on the market, the Pixel CO2 is an excellent choice for treating skin problems like:
- Lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Uneven skin texture
- Age spots and sun spots
After a fractional laser treatment, you'll see a noticeable improvement in the appearance of your skin. If you are bothered by any of these skin conditions, schedule a complimentary consultation at our office (WWW.NVPSAZ.COM), which is adjacent to our Arizona state licensed and Medicare accredited surgery center, to find out if laser resurfacing can address these concerns for you.
How Laser Skin Resurfacing Works
Before your laser skin resurfacing treatment, you may be given an anesthetic and possibly mild sedation for your comfort. The laser settings are adjusted for your skin, and the plastic surgeon will focus its energy on the treatment site, evenly passing the laser over the targeted area. After he or she has treated the area, the surgeon will apply an ointment to the treatment site.
The fractional Laser stands apart in that it utilizes individual columns of laser light that focus on the problem area. This is a benefit since skin unaffected by the condition to be treated is left alone. The plastic surgeon passes the laser over the treatment site, the laser's energy targets the damaged cells, destroying them. This causes your skin to begin a regenerative process that will yield new healthy skin cells.
Common Questions about CO2 Laser Treatment
What issues can laser skin resurfacing treat?
On top of treating common skin issues like signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage and age spots, laser skin resurfacing can remedy some types of scars, including acne scars and some kinds of pre-cancerous skin growths.
What aftercare steps will I take following laser skin resurfacing?
After your laser skin resurfacing treatment, you may need someone to help you get home. You may experience some swelling and redness as your skin begins to repair itself. Our surgeons and our licensed medical aestheticians may also ask you to apply an ointment to your skin during the recovery period. Post care instructions will be given to you so you know exactly how to take care of your skin after the treatment.
How long does laser treatment take?
Your treatment time varies, but can usually be completed within 30 minutes to one hour. You will come in approximately one hour before your scheduled treatment so a topical ointment can be applied on the treatment area. If you are taking an anesthetic for the pain, we will ask you to take that when we apply the ointment.
Is laser treatment painful?
Most patients note feeling a warming or tingling of the skin. For patients with more sensitive skin, an anesthetic may be available.
What results can I expect?
After fractional laser treatment, your skin will begin to repair itself and generate new skin cells. During the initial healing period of about one week, you will experience redness and flaking skin, which are natural responses to the resurfacing procedure. The only type of chemical peels that compare to CO2 laser treatments would be the Phenol or Hetter Peal. There are benefits to both procedures but we can recommend the best option for your particular skin type once we see you in the office. We preform both procedures.
Want to learn more?
The CO2 laser is a great adjunct to face lift, LifetimeLift®, or other facial cosmetic procedures. Because a board certified plastic surgeon in Arizona, performs all CO2 treatments, you must have a consult with one of our surgeons to see if it's right for you. When you're ready to learn more about Laser Resurfacing using a CO2 laser treatment in Arizona, call our office for a complimentary appointment at (480) 991-6877 or visit us at WWW.NVPSAZ.com.

Get in touch with us for high quality Canadian visa services.
Federal Skilled Workers Program
The Federal Skilled Workers Program allows individuals of foreign nationality to enter Canada and live and work for as long as they wish to. In other words, it is a channel that grants work visa along with permanent residency. The immigration procedure is looked after by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the Canadian department of immigration.
To get work visa under the federal skilled workers program, an applicant is required to achieve a minimum score of 67 out of 100 points in profile evaluation. The visa is allotted to qualified applicants having skills and abilities required by the country to boost its economy. Canada follows points-based system to allot visa. The points are given on the basis of Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which is quite easy to understand. An applicant can also check his overall score before applying for visa to check his eligibility.
What are the eligibility requirements?
To apply for visa under Federal Skilled Workers Program, you have to be eligible in the following areas:
- The candidate must possess a minimum of 67 points in his profile evaluation.
- He should clear language proficiency test in English and/or French language. The minimum score required in IELTS exam is 6.5 in all the skills.
- The applicant must select an occupation mentioned in the National Occupation Classification (NOC) List. He can choose from either of the three skill types, that is, O (management occupations), A (professional occupations) or B (trade occupations).
- Get Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) done from recognised authorities. Under the assessment, degrees, diplomas, certificates from foreign institutions are compared with respective Canadian credentials and their credibility is assessed.
- The individual must have work experience of at least one year in the occupation he wishes to pursue in the last 10 years of his service history. It must be a paid job and not internship or volunteer work
- The applicant must either have the nomination from a Canadian territory or state or job offer letter from an employer. If he doesn't already have a job he must get enrolled with Job Bank.
- The individual must he healthy and not suffer from any fatal disease.
- Lastly, the applicant must not have a criminal record.
Points under Comprehensive Raking System
Under Comprehensive Ranking System all eligible applicants are put in a pool wherein they are evaluated on every point. Every aspect of their profile is assessed and points are given accordingly. From age, educational qualifications and language proficiency to work experience, everything is evaluated and marked. Then profiles are then marked based on the point system and ranked as per the score achieved.
- Education: The maximum points a candidate can achieve in education factor is 25. It is for those who have completed their PhDs. The minimum marks are 5 for the applicants who have completed high school. The points are given after comparing the degrees of the applicant with respective Canadian credentials and standard of education.
- Experience: An applicant must have at least one year of experience in the occupation he has chosen from the NOC list in the last 10 years of his service. For an experience of 1 year the points are 5 whereas for 6 years and more the marks are 15. Moreover, a candidate can score a maximum of 15 points in experience.
- Age: In profile evaluation even age is assessed and points are given depending upon the applicant's age. However, there are not points for applicants under the age of 18 years and above 47 years of age. The maximum points, that is, 12 are for individuals between 18-35 years (including both ages). As the age increases, points decrease.
- Language Proficiency: Canada has two official languages, viz. English and French. For applicants having English as their first language they must score at least 6.5 in their IELTS exam. Additionally, their individual score in all the 4 skills should not be less than 6.5. Points for CLB Level 7 is 4 while the maximum points are 6 for a score of CLB Level 9. If English is an applicant's second language then he must have a score of 5 in his IELTS exam and for that he will be given 4 points.
- For applicants having first language as French, they must at least clear NCLC 7 with an individual score of at least 207, 310, 248 and 310 in Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking respectively. The maximum points accorded by the Immigration department under language proficiency factor is 7 that can be achieved upon clearing NCLC level 9. If French is the second language of the applicant, then 4 points are given for clearing NCLC level 7.
- Arranged Employment: The applicants that have already arranged for their employment in Canada are given 10 additional points. These points are awarded depending upon various factors that require in-depth assessment.
- Adaptability: The Canadian department of Immigration also gives brownie points to applicants who can adapt well in the migrating country. The maximum points given for adaptability are 10.
Visa Application Procedure
To get consideration under Federal Skilled Workers Program, an applicant must first complete his Express Entry profile. Upon submission of the application, evaluation is done by the authorities. If shortlisted, the applicants are sent an invitation to apply. Federal Skilled Workers Program is an invitation only visa program wherein consideration is given to applicants who have received invitations from the department.
The applicants must reply within a specified time period by sending their Expression of Interest (EOI) along with the visa fee
Visa Fee
The processing fee for visa under Federal Skilled Workers Program is CAN$ 550. For those who wish to apply for permanent residency must pay an additional amount of CAN$ 490. So in all an applicant is required to pay CAN$ 1040 to migrate to Canada. Dependent adults applying for visa along with permanent residency are also required to pay CAN $1040 each. The fee for dependent children is CAN $150. Even though the fee is a little expensive, the number of job opportunities Canada offers is worth a try.
The processing of work visa under Federal Skilled Workers Program usually takes around 6-8 months of time.

How nice for you to get away for a West Coast visit. I am going to California to visit my West Coast grands in three weeks.
David is staying home with the "children" (dogs and parrots).
This will be my first trip by myself since I had the stroke 8 years ago. I have been losing weight so the plane won't fall out of the sky. Ha ha.
I fear all my excess weight came from travel for several decades. Now it must come off. I talked with my DIL and gave her a list of foods I can eat. I am determined to stick to the diet while I am in CA. Meeting a blog friend in WW and she will help me too.
PS How nice your DIL keeps you informed with a lovely blog.

I enjoyed this uplifting post :) It's so easy to get into a "funk" when we're trapped indoors for a while. I'm glad you've found some options to lift you out of it!
It's wonderful that your DIL blogs regularly about the grandchildren, so you don't miss out on anything. Even though my "grands" live close, I still enjoy my DIL's regular postings on Facebook.
I know you'll be looking forward to that upcoming trip! I would be :)

I so enjoy your attitude and determination. When weather is blustery and overcast for more than a couple days, my happy countenance begins to sink. I'll have to remember to count my blessings in those days (fortunately few in this area).

I love musicals, especially The Sound of Music, starring Julie Andrews! Enjoy being happy. It beats being miserable.

I, too, love those musicals and agree that seeing them on the big screen in a theater is special.
Salad looks good! Love the pics of your grands!
Glad you're exercising and getting in shape for your trip.

A timeless treatise on today's healthcare debate?
|ShawChicago presents
|Doctor's Dilemma
|Written by George Bernard Shaw
directed by Robert Scogin
DCA Studio Theatre, 78 E. Washington (map)
thru May 10th | tickets: $10-$22 | more info
By Katy Walsh
Who to save? If allotted only enough serum to cure one patient, how to choose who is worthy of it? ShawChicago, in conjunction with DCA Studio Theatre in the Cultural Center, presents Doctor's Dilemma. Illustrating a lifelong disdain for the healing profession, George Bernard Shaw pens a comedy about doctors debating the sanctity of healthcare for a price. Under the enchantment of a pretty lady, four doctors struggle with the decision to save her charming husband or their bumbling colleague.
Although Shaw first produced the play in 1906, his viewpoints are still prevalent one hundred years later. Economics still influences healthcare in adequate coverage for the poor and research interests of the wealthy. Doctor's Dilemma illustrates the timeless issues of healthcare and arrogant doctors; ShawChicago injects a talented cast. The result is a robust tonic sure to cure any ailment.
In the ShawChicago tradition, the show is a public reading. No costumes. No scenery. It's just Shaw, Scogin and the ensemble. Under the direction of Robert Scogin, the entire cast adds their own version of razzle-dazzle. The doctors are a variety of superior condescension. Jack Hickey (Sir Ralph Bloomfield Bonington) is hilarious as the know-it-all physician with one basic prescription, "stimulate the phagocytes." Hickey is riotous rambling his lunatic theories then stopping abruptly to utter "I've lost the thread of my conversation." Will Clinger (Cutler Walpole) is in turn outrageous with his repeated diagnosis of 'blood poisoning' and his declaration that he is, "not a doctor. I'm a surgeon." Skip Lundby (Sir Patrick Cullen) is the delightful retired doctor who starts an argument with, "when you've killed as many people as I have…" Matt Pen (Sir Colenso Ridgeon) is the smug bachelor with the God complex. The patient is Christian Gray (Louis Dubedat). Gray is the fast-talking scoundrel and the arrogant match for the doctors. In his immorality justification, Gray argues that lawyers threaten prison, parsons threaten damnation and doctors threaten death. Gray is deliciously unapologetic for his rogue ways. Barbara Zahora (Jennifer Dubedat) is the loyal wife and object of the doctors' affections as she pleads for healthcare for her husband. In smaller roles but with superior accents, Mary Michell (Emmy) and Kaelan Strouse (Newspaper Man/Mr. Darby) are outstanding.
Sixteen years ago, ShawChicago started its artistic initiative with Doctor's Dilemma in the DCA Studio Theatre in the Cultural Center. Back then, it was Clinton and healthcare. Now, it's Obama and healthcare. But then and now and since 1906, Doctor's Dilemma is a Shaw timeless classic.

Running Time: Two hours and thirty minutes includes a ten minute intermission.
I've struggled to find brunch spots for weekend matinees downtown. Today, I lucked out by stopping en route at Old Town's swanky 33 Club, 1419 N. Well Streets. I had previously been to this Jerry Kleiner restaurant for dinner. Recently, they started offering a brunch option so I wanted to sample the menu. Trying to initiate a brunch appetizer trend, Dick and I start with the whole wheat pancakes with caramelized bananas. Melt-in-your-mouth delicious! They are so moist and tasty, the side of maple syrup is truly optional. Our server, Todd, names the fried egg sandwich as one of his favorites. His recommendation convinces me. The fried egg arrives on Tuscany bread with bacon, lettuce and tomato and a smear of gorgonzola cheese. The gorgonzola is a little sharp for me. The combination of the other fresh ingredients is plentiful enough. I'd definitely order it again but may ask to substitute a milder cheese. Dick has the mozzarella, tomato and basil omelet. It's served with roasted potatoes and whole wheat toast. He finishes every delicious bite with flourish. The service was excellent. The atmosphere is classic Kleiner with flashy bordello touches in upscale elegance. Brunch is a great opportunity to experience 33 Club at a less expensive price point. One word of warning: save room for dessert! I regret not being able to sample the red velvet cake. Maybe next weekend!

The iMovR Everest has been discontinued. The all-new Lander desk is made-in-America, featuring iMovR's best stability and easiest assembly yet. The Lander ships 98% pre-assembled and is app-compatible, with a built-in health coach function.
We need to move. Moving increases our mental productivity, helps us stay awake and focused, and increases our basal metabolic rate. Getting more movement into you daily routine is one of the best ways to improve your overall health. In an ideal workday you would manage your workflow as you walk and stand at your desk, sitting when you need a break. iMovR's Everest Stand Up Desk combined with their exciting new ThermoTread GT Office Treadmill is the ideal workstation to give you an ideal workday.
Both the Everest Stand Up Desk and the ThermoTread GT Office Treadmill received five out of five stars from WorkWhileWalking's expert review team. This treadmill desk workstation received five out of five stars from WorkWhileWalking. Read the review of this workstation here. Also be sure to check out this video on how perfectly the iMovR SteadyType desks work with the Thermotread GT to create the ultimate, ergonomically-perfected workstation.
The ThermoTread GT is the only office treadmill on the market to feature a desktop console with a full-color, touch screen display; not unlike the smartphone in your pocket. This display, coupled with the console's powerful microprocessor, makes it faster and easier to operate the treadmill than the antiquated membrane keys every other walking treadmill base uses. All the basic functionality to display walking speed, distance, time, calorie burn and other performance statistics are there, but the ThermoTread GT is the only office treadmill that allows you set up your own user profile (up to 5 profiles can be created) and track these stats across all three work modalities - walking, standing, and sitting - for a complete picture of your total office fitness.
The Everest's conference-table thick (1-1/8") desk tops are made with cutting-edge 3D lamination. Using high heat and pressure, a state-of-the-art machine applies a super-durable Omnova Surf(x) 3D laminate to the desktop, under extreme temperature and pressure, creating an indestructible molecular bond with the wood. This creates a secure seal that wards against moisture damage, the enemy of all wood furniture. Also used in hospital settings, these high-end laminates are highly resistant to scratches, dings, and harsh cleaning chemicals.
Not only does 3D lamination better protect your desk top, it also looks nicer. Tops created with 3D-lamination have no seams or breaks in the finish, even at the grommet holes, resulting in a desk top that looks like it was extravagantly fashioned from a single slab of hard wood – even though it costs no more than decades-old high pressure laminate technology used on most other desks.
The Everest features a built-in SteadyType keyboard platform. A result of iMovR's pioneering research into standing and walking ergonomics, the SteadyType keyboard platform lets you achieve a truly neutral typing posture at tilt angles of up to -85 degrees. For treadmill desk usage, angles of -25 to -40 degrees achieve the greatest improvements in ergonomics and comfort, as well as maximizing typing speed, accuracy, and endurance. The SteadyType keyboard platform also dramatically improves your desk's stability over the traditional solution of an adjustable keyboard tray arm. Where such an arm would bounce like trampoline as you typed, the SteadyType doesn't budge at all, which improves the stability of your entire workstation. And since SteadyType is built right into the desktop, it keeps you closer to the rest of your desk, unlike keyboard trays that push you away by a foot or more.
Every detail of the Everest and ThermoTread GT was fine-tuned to fit seamlessly into an office environment. From the ease of matching one of the Everest's eleven standard table top finishes to your décor, to the ThermoTread GT's space-saving footprint and low, 5-inch "step up" height, this treadmill desk will give you the tools to maintain a productive, healthy work day without looking out of place.
Despite the ThermoTread GT's hefty weight, it remains easy to move across any floor or carpet, thanks to two wheels mounted on one end, underneath the treadmill's motor housing. Simply lift the lighter end of the treadmill and push or pull it into place underneath your desk.
Silence is golden. That's why the Everest desk operates at just 46 dB when rising and 42 dB when lowering. The ThermoTread GT is the quietest treadmill on the market, running at a faint 43 dB and beating its closest competition by a whole 5 decibels. These ratings are lower than the ambient noise levels of most offices, so you don't need to worry about disturbing your coworkers.
This treadmill desk bundle is well-suited for shared, departmental use as well. The Everest features four different height presets, and the ThermoTread GT also supports multiple user profiles to remember your individual usage stats and preferences. And just in case your legal department has any concerns about company liability, show them this: Before activating the treadmill, our console requires the user to click off on a liability waiver "click wrap," just like they do when using the GPS navigation system in their car. This exclusive feature of iMovR treadmill desks protects your organization from unsafe operation and potential liability, while creating a contemporaneous record of all equipment usage.
The Everest's base and table top are made in Michigan, America's heartland, incorporating dual, precision Bosch motors (made in Germany). The desk features one of the strongest warranties on the market, including ten years coverage on the motors, five years on the table top and lifetime coverage on the frame. Not many manufacturers warrant their table tops, but then, no other manufacturer of adjustable-height furniture uses such sophisticated lamination methods.
The ThermoTread GT is similarly "overbuilt" for reliability and performance. Where other treadmills use lower-cost melamine or phenolic walking decks, the ThermoTread GT uses a premium 1"-thick Bakelite deck, providing unmatched durability. The entire motor and drivetrain are optimized to give you the most torque at low walking speeds for long periods of time, so you needn't worry about motor failure – a common problem when people try walking on what is really a running treadmill under the hood (designed for high torque at high speeds, but underpowered at low speeds). And while many other treadmill manufacturers conjure up weight ratings as a marketing and positioning tactic, the ThermoTread GT's 400 lb. weight rating was engineered in using finite element analysis, and verified with machine-simulated, real-world stress testing.
The desktop console includes a USB port for you to easily update the office treadmill's software with regular software improvements. Soon, the ThermoTread GT will become an appliance on the "Internet of Things" through the addition of iMovR's optional CloudStation, available next year. Your treadmill, computer, and stand up desk can all plug into the CloudStation. The ThermoTread GT's patent-pending circuitry interprets electrical current fluctuations caused by you stepping on the belt, precisely measuring your walking speed, the distance you walked, and your step count as well as the health of the treadmill. This data is then sent to the CloudStation, uploaded to the iMovR Cloud, and attached to your user profile. Your user profile can also include your preferred treadmill speeds, desk height, and monitor height, allowing you to log into any iMovR treadmill desk, anywhere in the world, and immediately get to work at your ideal ergonomic setting.
iMovR offers a host of options that will allow you to make your desk fit your life and work style. Customize your desk to your décor with one of iMovR's eleven standard finishes. Choose between black or silver base colors, pick the desk size that fits your room. All iMovR bases are width-adjustable, so if you ever decide you need a different size all you need to do is change the width and replace the top. On 48" and 60" desktops, the SteadyType tray is centered. On the 72" and 83" versions, pick your preferred SteadyType position (left, right, center, or dual left & right) and select from iMovR's many accessory options to make your desk fit your needs.

Don't want to give up having desk drawers? No problem! Bundle in a matching mobile file cabinet. Need more power at the desktop for charging your devices easily? iMovR's flush-mounted power nodes fit the Everest's grommet holes perfectly. Extend your walking time with a premium anti-fatigue mat, and keep your desk free from cable clutter with iMovR's cable management kits.
Are you a taller person who needs a higher work surface? Shift the Everest's height range north four inches for a skyscraping 55" height ceiling! This particular accessory will also be useful for anyone who wants the most stability they can get since it reduces the wobble inherent in all 2-legged stand up desks as they are raised towards their upper height limits. Or, add a set of casters to your desk for a more mobile workstation and another 2.5" of height.

NOTE: this tutorial is obsolete.
For the updated tutorial on the Iperius Console, click the following link:
One of the most powerful and comfortable features provided by Iperius is the chance to connect it with a centralized Web Console.
Thanks to the Web Console, you won't have to read tens of e-mails every day to check the backup results. You will simply need to access a dashboard on the Iperius Backup website to check if all your backups have been completed correctly.
In addition to reports, the Web Console also offers other useful functions:
- Possibility to run backups remotely
- Remote AutoUpdate (you can update Iperius on all your machines with a simple click)
- Detailed information about the workstation/server status
In the following tutorial you will see the few simple steps to enable the Web Console.
The first thing to do is to buy a Web Console license (that has a basic price of 89€/year for 50 computers). If you want to evaluate the web console or if you need to monitor an higher number of computers, contact the Iperius Backup support team.
Once you've purchased your web console license, you will get an unique identification code.
Copy this code and paste it into Iperius. You must repeat this operation for all Iperius installations you want to monitor.
For each backup job you can decide if send notifications to the web console, using a simple option (enabled by default):
Once the web console is enabled, every monitored backup job will be reported in the web dashboard, where you will see computer information, job information, backup logs and possible errors.
You can see in the picture below how you can easily access the web console in your private area:
Once you're logged in, you can access the Web Console clicking on a simple link:
The first page will show you one or more work groups (you can type any work group name inside Iperius, and this will allow you to have a customized grouping of monitored computers). Clicking on the "Details" link of a group, you can see the list of the computers belonging to that group and their status:
As you can see in the picutre above, for each computer you've various useful information, among which the Windows version, Iperius version, IP address and the online status. You can see in addition the date of the last backup performed and if there have been errors recently. Here you can also find another important function: the possibility to update Iperius to the latest version.
To get further details of each backup job and to see the single logs, click on "Details":
You can see the list of backup jobs created on a computer and their details. Here you've another important function: the possibility to run a backup job on the remote computer, without any user interaction.
As you've seen in this brief tutorial, the Web Console shows a very clear situation of the various backups you configured. With a few simple commands you can clear error notifications, delete a log, a job or a computer from the list, run a backup remotely and update Iperius remotely. A very simple and useful tool to keep under control all the backups of your customers or your company, from a single centralized interface.
The time saving, the ease of managment and the perfect overview that the Web Console can give you, make of it an essential feature for resellers and big companies that need to monitor many Iperius installations.
Click here to buy the Web Console.
If you want to evaluate the web console or if you need to monitor an higher number of computers, contact the Iperius Backup support team.
