The author manages multi-asset funds at Old Mutual Global Investors, and his book describes the different investing behaviours of professional fund managers in high conviction, ?best ideas? funds that he ran. The starting point is the paradox that, whilst slightly less than half of the shares selected made money, almost all the managers made money overall.
Whilst the key to this was money management and position sizing, he detected distinct groupings of investor behaviours as ?best ideas? investments developed losses or profits and the managers were faced with decisions. Faced with losses, ?rabbits? (on whom he vents his ire ? and sacked) failed to do anything, whilst ?assassins? cut losses quickly and ?hunters? doubled up on ideas where investment conviction was still held. Faced with winners, ?raiders? took quick profits, with the ?connoisseurs? (for whom he reserves most praise) treated investments like fine wines, quickly getting rid of corked vintages, and then occasionally sampling from but keeping the bulk of the best to maturity. Along the way he has some interesting statistics which highlight the rarity of truly winning investments, the tendency of investors to takes profits early-ish and the wisdom of cutting losses.
He uses ideas from behavioural finance and his own experience to explain the different investor behaviours, and has useful, practical pointers for winning as against losing. It?s an interesting and easy read with useful insights for the private investor.

The Millennium Challenge Corporation's (MCC) Board of Directors held its quarterly meeting today and received an update on the successful Kosovo threshold program and Morocco compact.
"MCC learned much from our Kosovan and Moroccan partners. The ambitious Kosovo threshold program achieved a great deal; providing a solid foundation from which the Kosovan government is already building to improve energy access and reliability, empowering women, and improving governance and transparency. Together we are building on these successes through the subsequent compact grant program," said MCC's Chief Executive Officer Alice Albright. "Over almost two decades, MCC's $1.1 billion investment through two compacts in Morocco is evidence of the longstanding friendship between our two countries. The government of Morocco has been a steadfast partner in addressing challenging reforms in the land and education sectors throughout this compact, unlocking the potential of its most valuable resource: the Moroccan people."
The Board received an update on the agency's global portfolio and achievements in important initiatives, including efforts to accelerate program development. The Board also discussed MCC's partnership with Tunisia, as it has at each of its meetings since July 25, 2021. The Board affirmed that MCC remains unable to advance the proposed compact at this time, but it would welcome the opportunity to do so if conditions improve.
The Millennium Challenge Corporation is an independent U.S. government development agency working to reduce global poverty through economic growth. Created in 2004, MCC provides time-limited grants that pair investments in infrastructure with policy and institutional reforms to countries that meet rigorous standards for good governance, fighting corruption and respecting democratic rights.

BC Hydro advising public of potential spilling at Peace Region dams
FORT ST. JOHN: BC Hydro may begin a controlled spill at the W.A.C. Bennett and Peace Canyon dams this week, ahead of river diversion for the construction of Site C this fall.
The spring snowmelt and significant rainfall in the Peace Region has led to higher than average water levels in the Williston Reservoir. To ensure Site C construction activities can safely be conducted, BC Hydro may release water at its W.A.C. Bennett and Peace Canyon dams to maintain appropriate space in the reservoir. This may be in addition to normal generation discharge from the dams at this time of year.
Controlled spills are considered a normal part of operations and BC Hydro's dams are designed for the safe and controlled release of water. If required, spills could begin this week and last for up to several weeks, depending on a number of factors, including the weather.
The controlled spill is not expected to lead to any water management issues along the Peace River. Residents along the river – including those immediately downstream of the Peace Canyon Dam – may notice higher than normal river levels. Flows downstream of the Site C construction site are expected to be much less than what occurred during the spring snowmelt and recent rainfall events.
BC Hydro is reminding the public and recreational river users to always use caution on and around the Peace River due to changing water levels. For more information about water level advisories, visit sitecproject.com.

There is no denying that the pandemic has altered Americans' lives and is likely to impact their voting behaviors in the 2020 presidential election.
As the election draws nearer, many people are still deciding whether or not they will cast their ballots. Recent data released by Apartment List shows that difficulty paying housing costs--a common problem Americans are facing due to the pandemic's economic consequences-- will be a key factor in determining whether or not some people will vote this year.
According to Apartment List, "31 percent of renters failed to make a complete on-time payment of their rent bill" in the first week of October. Homeowners are also still struggling to make payments on their mortgages. In the first week of this month, 71% of homeowners were able to meet the payment due dates. This is a slight decrease from the 73% of homeowners who were able to pay housing bills on-time in September.
However, only 8% of homeowners were unable to make a full mortgage payment by the end of September. Overall, homeowners are still more likely than renters to complete their payments by the end of the month.
Apartment List surveyed homeowners and renters about whether or not they planned to vote this November. The survey found that 87% of homeowners who had no unpaid housing bills said they "definitely will vote." By comparison, renters who had no unpaid housing bills are less likely to head to the polls than homeowners as 68% of those who aren't struggling to pay rent said they planned to vote.
Among homeowners who did have unpaid housing bills, 60% said they were planning on casting their ballots. The survey showed that 48% of renters who were behind on housing bills said they would vote this year. This shows a huge decrease in potential voter turnout among both homeowners and renters who are unable to make their housing payments.
The data indicates that renters who are behind on payments are the least likely of all of those surveyed to vote this year. Research also shows that Black, Hispanic and Asian renters have been the most heavily impacted by the pandemic in terms of whether or not they are able to pay rent. According to the study, COVID-19 "may be exacerbating long-standing inequities in housing security."
Research shows that missed housing and rent payments are common all over the political spectrum. Those who have not fallen behind on housing payments are "more likely to vote regardless of whether they report leaning Democrat or Republican."

While there's been an overflow of Apple Pay chatter in the industry, the 7,500-plus attendees at Money 20/20 in Las Vegas and 20,000-plus attendees at CARTES SECURE CONNECTIONS event in Paris showed there's plenty of interest from industry CEOS about other payment options, security and mobile innovations.
Topping of the list so far includes subjects like global payments platform, alternative currencies, E-commerce security, advanced authentication technology, mobile and tablet app transactions for Magstripe, EMV and NFC — just to brush the service of products discussed from the 2,500-plus companies spanning 60 countries that were at the Las Vegas event. CARTES also had its share of interest from an estimated 20,000 attendees coming from 140 countries, who joined together to review how digital society and security is evolving.
Looking first toward Verifone, which touched on two key industry topics: the structure of secure commerce and reducing merchant exposure to large-scale data breaches, and expediting accepting of EMV in the U.S. market. Verifone had a presence at both Money 20/20 and CARTES. Among its key announcements included the global availability of its secure commerce architecture, which the company said is designed to "reduce merchant exposure to large-scale data breaches, and reduce the certification burden on U.S. merchants, acquirers and other payment providers looking to enable EMV acceptance."
As showcased at Money 20/20, Verifone's secure commerce architecture decouples payment data from the merchant's POS system and enables encrypted delivery of this data from the payment terminal directly to the merchant's processor. This benefits merchants by removing the POS system from the scope of EMV certification, which Verifone said greatly reducing the burden for clients. It also prevents consumer payment data from entering the POS by transmitting it directly to the merchant's payment processor, which takes away the risk of the data being stolen. This secure commerce architecture is now available to all of Verifone's direct merchant customers and all merchant acquirers in the U.S. Merchants; Global availability will begin in 2015.
Other product details released at both events included Ingencio Mobile Solutions launch of its mPOS application, ROAMpay X5, the first and only native tablet application for both iOS and Android that supports all mobile payment transaction types and all acceptance methods: magstripe, NFC, EMV chip and PIN, and EMV chip and sign. This application will be also compatible with any Ingenico mPOS devices, including the iCMP.
"As the mPOS market matures, we are seeing a growing number of merchants moving to tablets for mPOS, but software designed for smartphones doesn't always port well to a tablet," said Scott Holt, Vice President of Marketing and Solutions for Ingenico Mobile Solutions said in the release about the product. "For this new version of our mPOS application, we addressed the growing audience of customers looking to use both iOS and Android tablets.
Looking toward card security, RushCard announced a contract with Enacomm to enhance cardholder security with advanced authentication technology. According to Monday's (Nov. 3) release: "The prepaid pioneer will be implementing Enacomm's next-generation, multi-factor authentication technology that utilizes voice biometrics and enables mobile knowledge-based authentication (KBA). Enacomm will also help RushCard enhance its customer service offerings with smart call routing, advanced analytics and by facilitating personalized interactions."
"To protect their customers, RushCard will employ Enacomm's eKBA, mobilized authentication of customers through state-of-the-art technology. This will include superior caller verification methods that rely on basic information, voice biometrics technology provided by Enacomm and will allow RushCard to protect cardholders by verifying customers based on the identity of their unique voice prints," the release said.
Keeping aligned with the credit card data security theme, ControlScan announced the launch of its new education website aimed at helping SMBs properly secure sensitive customer data. "SMB Security Guide joins PCI Compliance Guide to create an 'arsenal' of ControlScan web properties that educate SMBs on unified security and compliance for data breach prevention," according to a ControlScan release.
The global payments platform also took stage at Money 20/20 with announcements like Shift Payment connecting with i2c to "connect alternative currencies to traditional payments structure." This move allow i2C, a global card processing company, to partner with Shift Payments' debit card, allowing consumers to make payments in fiat, digital and alternative currencies.
Turning toward topics and products discussed at CARTES begins with a look into secure payment solutions, mobile payments readers, POS peripherals. ID TECH announced it would be releasing two product in 2015, that when used together produce "an ideal Chip and PIN solution." According to DigitalJournal: "When integrated together the Spectrum Pro and SmartPIN L100 combine into an EMV Level 2 certified chip and PIN solution. For an all-in-one payment solution, the ViVOpay Kiosk III antenna can also be added to the chip and PIN solution to accept contactless payments." The Spectrum Pro is an EMV smart card and MagStripe hybrid insert reader, whereas the SmartPIN L100 is a PCI certified modular PIN entry device aimed at implementing the "highest degree of PIN security."
American Express was another big player at CARTES, who plans on presenting about its new online payment security services — American Express Token Services — that was announced Monday (Nov. 3). This product was explained in BroadwayWorld.com as being a safer online and mobile payments for consumers.
"With American Express Token Service, traditional card account numbers are replaced with unique 'tokens,' which can then be used to complete payment transactions online, in a mobile app or in-store with a mobile Near Field Communication (NFC)-enabled device," the article said. "By using tokens, merchants and digital wallet operators will no longer need to store consumers' sensitive payment account information in their systems. In addition, tokens can be assigned for use with a specific merchant, transaction type or payment device to provide further protection against fraud."
Another company that announced new products at both events was VASC Data Security International — a global company in the authentication, electronic signatures, and identity management industry — that announced two new DIGIPASS authenticators with bluetooth capabilities. This included: "The DIGIPASS 875 is a smart card reader solution, and the DIGIPASS GO215 is a compact, one-button device offering powerful, portable and flexible two-factor authentication and digital signing. Both devices provide enhanced security for the growing number of mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets."
"Bluetooth has evolved from a 'nice-to-have' to a 'must-have' capability for mobile and connected devices," said Ryan Martin, Analyst, IoT & Wearable Technologies, 451 Research in the news release from VASCO. "The prevalence of Bluetooth Smart-enabled devices presents a greenfield opportunity to develop solutions for a wide range of industries and use cases around security, authentication and transaction-based applications."

Poorly maintained trees are subject to a litany of avoidable health problems, resulting in a sickly-looking yard and serious danger to your family and property. So if you want the best for your trees, our ISA-certified arborists have the experience and training to provide them with the best possible health care. ISA certification also ensures that specialists are up to date on the latest research and techniques for tree care.
Deep Root Fertilization helps maintain established trees and the successful establishment of new trees by providing the proper nutrition to encourage diverse microbial activity. We use a premium, long-lasting fertilizer formulated specifically for a healthier soil profile and more plant-available nutrients. The healthier the soil, the healthier the tree
Ash trees that have been diagnosed with EAB (Emerald Ash Borer) need to be removed as soon as possible. Once a tree has been impacted by EAB, it will lose structural integrity much faster than a typical declining tree, leading to a higher risk of tree failure and potentially devastating outcomes. If your tree is a high-value tree, is overall structurally sound, important to your landscape, or has significant family meaning, it may be a good candidate for ongoing treatments
Altitude Arborist is dedicated to creating customers for life. We're fortunate to have served many of our customers for the last 5 years straight and strive to provide the same level of care for your trees as you would for your own family. With two ISA Certified Arborists and degreed foresters on staff, you can trust that you're getting expert services and the right care for your trees and plants.
We are a family-owned business committed to making you feel like you're part of the family too. We strive for the highest standards of safety practices and provide exceptional, memorable customer service.
The ever-shifting climate affects how we care for our trees. At our company, we use the most up-to-date techniques and methods to make sure your plants and trees stay healthy through every season.

Fast Facts: Perio Edition Episode 52 [Andrew Johnston, RDH] Welcome back everyone! You are listening to another episode of Fast Facts- Perio Edition brought to you by A Tale of Two Hygienists in partnership with DentistRX. And now, please welcome your host, Katrina Sanders. [Katrina Sanders, RDH] Hello, and welcome to Fast Facts: Perio Edition. Okay, you guys, let's unpack this, shall we? This new aspect coming down from the AAP discussing the grade of periodontitis. Now, this is new for us, or at least it feels new for us. However, I think many of us can agree that in the past we looked at things like grade as incorporated into how we classified our patients. For example, we would use terminology like "aggressive periodontitis", because that was our best way of clarifying that for whatever reason, this patient just feels like they have far more clinical attachment loss than they should. And this is, in my opinion, what created some of the confusion around how to integrate the appropriate case types for patients. So, as we discussed in weeks prior, staging allows us the opportunity to identify specifically the severity of the disease process. How severe is it? Stage one, stage two, stage three, or stage four? Grading allows us the opportunity to take a look at what we understand with regards to various types of recognized risk factors and how those risk factors play a role in the complexity of this disease process. Again, I want to be very clear, we acknowledge that periodontal disease is a relatively complex and multifactorial disease process, and so the grading system allows us the opportunity to better identify a few pieces with regards to our patients. Number one, when we grade our patients, it allows us the ability to identify how these risk factors that our patient is presenting with may manifest themselves for the patient. We can also predictably measure a response to standard therapy, and if a patient is considered an advanced grade of the disease process, we may predict that these patients that are in advanced grade may not respond as favorably to the disease treatment. Finally, grading allows us the opportunity to consider how advanced this patient's periodontal disease may be and subsequently how that disease process may have a dramatic impact on their overall medical or systemic observation. So grading allows us the opportunity to integrate all pieces for our patient, not just how quickly that radiologic bone loss has moved, but even more so, what do our patient's unique risk factors mean when it comes to the progression and response as well as systemic acquisition of this disease process? Stay tuned. Next week, we're going to start looking at some of the parameters that the AAP has specifically identified with regards to grade A, grade B and grade C of Periodontitis. This has been another episode of Fast Facts - Perio Edition with Katrina Sanders, RDH. Please feel free to reach me on Instagram @thedentalwinegenist or on my website www.KatrinaSanders.com Cheers. [Andrew Johnston, RDH] Thank you for listening to another episode of Fast Facts - Perio Edition, brought to you in part by DentistRX makers of the InteliSonic line of power brushes.

Winner of the Breakthrough Talent of the Year, Lisa Haydon stood out in a sexy black Gucci gown and subtle makeup. It's amazing how little this girl has to do to look stunning.
Wearing a Veda Raheja sequined gown with transparent panels, side-swept hair and oxblood lips, Malaika Arora as usual upped the glam quotient.
In a Prabal Gurung black and white gown, hair in an updo, beautiful makeup (winged tip eyeliner and red lips) Kareena Kapoor looked every inch a diva as she was declared Actress of the Year.
Neha Dhupia was the picture of perfection at the awards. She wore a Dior gown (with pockets), Dior heels and carried a Dior clutch that perfectly complemented each other. Middle-parted straightened hair; subtle smokey eyes and a pale mouth finished the look.
We love Adhuna Akhtar's sense of style. There is always that bit of her that comes through beautifully in anything she wears. In this case, we love how she paired the Victoria Beckham dress with pumps that had a tiny flower detail and she had her hair in an out-of-the-ordinary updo.

Learning Style Tests
December 6, 2022
Many have heard of or even experienced the learning style classification system. In this system, a short test concludes an individual's "primary learning style." This is typically determined by five to seven categories, although this can range, as different learning style tests have different classifications. According to Neumann University, "[The categories include] the verbal learner, who loves to read and write, and express themself both verbally and in writing, the spatial-visual learner, who likes to use pictures when they learn, the aural (auditory-musical) learner, who likes working with sound and music, the kinesthetic/physical learner, who likes to move around, and use their hands/sense of touch, the logical (mathematical) learner, who likes to use reasoning. [Between these groups] there are social interpersonal learners, who like to work in groups and communicate well, and solitary interpersonal learners, who prefer to work and study alone." These categories are not concrete, as the VARK determines by four simple categories: visual, auditory, read/write, or kinesthetic. Similarly, The Biomedical Center for Medical Education (BMC) explained that "Learners can be classified as unimodal if they show predominantly one learning preference, or multimodal if preference is shared between two or more learning styles." The BMC tested the prevalence of multimodal learners, as well as the specific types of learning styles. The study found that "The majority (69.9%) of first year students had multimodal learning styles. Among the unimodal learners (30.1%), the clear majority were auditory learners (50%). Among multimodal learners, 30.1% were bimodal learners with auditory-reading (50%) and auditory-kinesthetic (31.8%) types predominating." While there are clear majorities in this data, there is still great variety.
There is also controversy over the reliability of certain learning style tests. Programs like the VARK and ASSIST questionaries are commonly used in medical studies, and the VARK Learning FAQ page explains that "The VARK questionnaire is difficult to use with current statistical methods of validation because of its structure and the fact that it allows multiple answers to each question. VARK replicates how real decisions are made using many preferences so the multiple answers for each question make statistical analysis very difficult." With the challenge of testing this data, many still hold suspicions about learning styles. Senior Pranav Vulisetti states, "I do not know if I completely believe in learning styles, just because of the lack of research/data." Additionally, many are questioning if learning style tests should be implemented as a required assessment in schools, like Issaquah's "Xello lesson" system. Freshman Carenna Rutledge says, "Administering learning style tests in schools could be useful, but sometimes students cannot be classified to just one or two learning styles."
Furthermore, teachers find it challenging to develop the best way of testing a student's knowledge on a given subject. Tests, projects, quizzes, and labs can often be overwhelming for students, but alternatives to these frequently lack the "requirements" teachers set to identify learning. Junior Brooklyn D'Souza explains,"The best measure of learning is probably projects, with those types of tests, more time tends to be given to students. There is less stress/anxiety associated with them, and they provide students with a way to apply their learning to the real world." These ideas appear to be quite common, as Rutledge states, "Even though I typically do not like projects, I still feel like they test knowledge well. With a project, a student has time to comprehend the material, and even if they do not have information perfectly memorized, they get an opportunity to research and learn more." Ultimately, assessments are designed to help students learn, and should vary to help students comprehend the most information possible.
Similarly, classwork can be altered to fit learning. D'Souza explains, "Labs are really helpful for me personally, as I like to see the concepts I am learning about in real time, as well as the application of certain ideas/principles." Many others enjoy labs. Sophomore Silas Sneath states, "Since I typically learn best by doing things with my hands, I feel like science classes are my best subject. Especially in a class like sports medicine, I can really visualize every bone by using physical models like skeletons." He further explains, "I also think no-count quizzes help me learn, as they test my knowledge without penalizing me. I also like that they prepare me for actual tests." This is a prime example of how learning styles can be implemented in education, but altering curriculums can be extremely challenging, as there are a wide range of learning styles. Vulisetti states, "It would be challenging for teachers to cater to every student's needs." Similarly, Rutledge explains, "I feel like Issaquah is doing a pretty good job of catering to my learning style."
Ultimately, learning styles can help students succeed in schools, but individuals must not treat these as concrete evidence. Reliability is challenging to test, and the majority of students have a wide range of learning preferences. Learning preferences should be applied to education to best suit the needs of students.

Mustang valley is situated in the north of Annapurna himal and it is bordering to Tibetan plateau(China). It is used to be called Mustang kingdom. It was founded in the 15th century by a Tibetan monarch who consolidated various small local fiefdoms into the Kingdom of Lo. Though it was eventually incorporated in to Nepal. Mustang has remained isolated .its reputation as wild country was reinforced by the Tibetain guerilla fighters who sheltered here in the 1960s to make daring raids on the Chinese across the border .Following their expulsion by Nepalese army troops in the early 1970s. Even after it was included in the Nepalese territory , entry was tightly rusticated for foreigners. In 1992, Nepalese government declared the opening of Mustang. It is still fresh in people's memory. During the trekking on this course, you will be visiting villages that are still retaining old Tibetan culture in a desolate desert area. It is one of the very different trekking in Nepal.
Flora and Fauna
The range of geographical and climatic regions has led to a diverse variety of flora and fauna with in the Annapurna region. these parts of area are heavily cultivated and the landscape is terraced paddy fields for most of the year.the higher up in the hills the natural vegetation changes from the tropical species to more temperate stands of forest trees including oak, beech and rhododendron.
People and culture
The most prominent ethnic groups in the annapurna region are the Gurung, Braman, chetri, Thakali and the Manangba.

Job search is an activity defined by scholars as a process that takes place to obtain a new job. It includes several phases: goal setting, preparing required documents, and navigating the job market. Then, the dynamic process moves to the application phase, which may lead to an interview.
The job seeker engages with the surrounding environment by making decisions, receiving feedback, and updating their plans to cope with contextual changes, such as global economic challenges.
So, an efficient job search is required so a job seeker can find a vacancy easier and smarter. In this article, you will learn the steps of job searching and how to search and apply for job opportunities productively.
Setting yourself up for success
Goal setting is the first step of your job-searching journey. From a self-regulatory perspective, job searching must be initiated with identifying goals.
These goals must be clear and attainable. For example, it is not logical to look for a job as a therapist, if you do not hold any related degrees. Remember that your goals must be SMART, where you can put achievable steps towards it.
Read more: Goal-Setting: Why You Should Set Goals
Crafting your personal brand
The job market is like any market. It is affected by the fundamental economic concepts of "supply and demand." In other words, if you make yourself unique and scarce, your value in the job market will surge.
You can create your personal brand by identifying and highlighting your competencies, then making people know about them. Below are some helpful tips on how to promote your personal brand.
Building a compelling resume
Your resume is a perfect place to elaborate on your personal competencies. Your resume should describe your academic qualifications, professional experience, on-campus activities, skills, hobbies, and relevant courses.
A golden hint is to understand the different styles of resumes. Each country has its own style and rules. For example, the British model prefers attaching a photo to the document; however, the American one rejects this because it may have racial and ethnic implications.
Including a cover letter in your plans
You may be asked to attach a cover letter to your job application. This is a good opportunity to explain yourself more without repeating what you mentioned in your resume. In other words, you must elaborate on your skills, career plans, and potential contributions to the organization.
Boosting your online existence
Social media networking and online websites have become indispensable to your job search. According to a survey done by Pew Research Center in 2015, 79% of American job seekers searched for job opportunities using Internet searches.
Creating a LinkedIn profile is the most important step in boosting your online presence. Here are some tips to maximize benefits from LinkedIn:
Create an appealing profile
Set a professional profile picture, update all required information, and provide details on your previous experiences.
Network with people in your industry
Search for individuals who work in similar industries or the company where you aspire to work. You can do this by merely using a relevant keyword in your search bar.
Activate the job alert button
If you use the job search "Jobs" at the top of your LinkedIn homepage, try to narrow your search using location and job type, and use different keywords. Then, activate the job alert to receive a daily notification with the latest jobs posted using the criteria as mentioned above.
Use the LinkedIn Learning platform
It has a bunch of online mini-courses that support your career and enhance your skills.
And if you work in a creative industry such as graphic design, architecture, marketing, or a relevant field, consider building an online portfolio. In this portfolio, you need to include previous pieces of your work. You can attach the link to this portfolio to your resume and LinkedIn profile, too.
Finding job opportunities
During your job search journey, you may ask yourself how people are getting recruited for posts you never saw a job opening announcement for. The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of job markets: open and hidden.
The open job market is the announced job vacancies on social networking sites, organizations' websites, newspapers, job fairs, job advertisements, etc.
While hidden job market refers to "existing recruitment opportunities that have not been the subject of an openly published job advertisement." Recruitment in this job market depends mainly on networking.
Open markets are more competitive than hidden markets because they have a lot of candidates. So, trying to invade the hidden market can allow you to find a job quicker, and to do so, you can:
- Leverage the internet. Look for potential recruiters and contact them directly with your resume and cover letter.
- Explore your network. It is advantageous to explore networks with your current friends and contacts, as well as with past colleagues and tutors.
- Expand your existing network. Attend events related to your industry, and keep yourself updated with all news in your field.
Negotiating a job offer
Once you are accepted in a job post, you become very excited about it to the extent that you may give up some benefits or accept a lower salary.
In this step, you may consider negotiating your job offer in case it does not meet your expectations. But you need to follow these steps first:
Step 1
Understand your rights and responsibilities in accordance with the labor law in terms of minimum salary, working conditions, insurance-related benefits, and safety.
Step 2
Be aware of the current status of your job market. For example, what is the salary range for employees in your region and sector? You can get advice from Glassdoor to explore relevant employers' benefits and salary ranges.
Step 3
Finally, ask experts and human resources specialists in your field, then, decide to negotiate. Negotiation is a win-win situation. So, remember that you need to be both convincing and flexible.
Realizing the ups and downs
The job-searching journey is a mix of emotions, ups, downs, and insecurities. That is why scholars include emotions in the definition. "For most, job search is a highly autonomous, self-regulated, goal-directed, and proactive process. Especially under conditions of extended search, looking for work may involve a range of emotions for individuals as they cope with uncertainty, difficulty locating appropriate positions, the pain of rejection, and other challenges."
Additionally, the long time of waiting for a response from the interviewer is a time full of uncertainty and expectations. Coping with these emotions is an essential part of your job-searching process. So you can keep yourself productive and efficient.
In conclusion
The journey of job searching may not be a short one. That is why you must prepare well for it through planning and evaluating. You must not lose hope and get disappointed with any rejections, but take them as an opportunity to learn from your mistakes, explore your potential, and develop yourself.
The biggest challenge in the current job market is competitiveness. You must regularly add value and worth to your personal and professional brand through courses, training, reading, and pursuing postgraduate studies. In a nutshell, if you want to find a job quickly, do not stick to one method or route.

The lab uses the research of the Institute for Life Management Science to produce courses, certifications, podcasts, videos, and other tools. Visit the Personal Productivity Science Labs today.

Gender and the ocean
Last June 8 was World Oceans Day. The United Nations officially recognized the date as World Oceans Day in December 2008, although the Canadian government proposed setting such a day as early as 1992 during the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. It is a day dedicated to protecting the ocean from growing threats such as overfishing, pollution, and acidification caused by climate crisis. The theme of World Oceans Day 2019 is "Gender and the Ocean," to draw attention to the need for gender equality in ocean-related activities such as marine research and resources development, fisheries and aquatic resources management, migration by sea and human trafficking, and policy-making. The focus on gender equality makes both men and women responsible for protecting the ocean. According to the World Bank [Gender and Environment], "Women play an essential role in the management of natural resources, including soil, water, forests and energy…and often have a profound traditional and contemporary knowledge of the natural world around them."

UPDATE (Thursday): Colorado is targeting Lucroy as its next move after acquiring reliever Pat Neshek from the Phillies, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today. Avila and Suzuki seem to be backup plans for GM Jeff Bridich.
ORIGINAL: The Rockies are interested in Rangers' catcher Jonathan Lucroy, reports T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com. Sullivan notes that the Rangers are not officially sellers as of Tuesday night, though they're fielding plenty of calls ahead of next Monday's deadline.
Lucroy, 31, has struggled to an uncharacteristic .240/.293/.339 at the plate this year, good for a career-worst 66 OPS+. A free agent after the season, Lucroy has become expendable for a Rangers club that has catcher Robinson Chirinos producing at a higher clip. The eight-year veteran is owed around $2.5 million the rest of the year.
GM Jon Daniels has some decision-making to do before the July 31 deadline, as the Rangers have movable pieces in Lucroy and starters Yu Darvish and Andrew Cashner but haven't given up hope of a playoff push. While Texas sits just 3.5 games back of the second AL Wild Card spot, they'd have to hurdle six teams to be in playoff position.
Rockies catchers have combined for a league-worst 45 wRC+ In an otherwise robust Colorado lineup. Lucroy, a two-time All-Star, has a career wRC+ of 108 across eight seasons in Milwaukee and Texas.
Lucroy is not the only catcher Colorado is eyeing on the trade market, as MLB.com's Thomas Harding reports that the Rockies are also looking at Detroit's Alex Avila and Atlanta's Kurt Suzuki. Both could serve as fallback plans if the team is unable to acquire Lucroy.

Staying Fit
This survey was commissioned by AARP in Oklahoma to gauge the support of small business owners in the state for a public–private retirement savings program.
Top Findings
- Almost half of Oklahoma small business owners (47%) are concerned about themselves and their employees not having enough money to cover critical expenses when they retire.
- Most (68%) small business owners in Oklahoma do not offer or participate in a retirement savings plan, largely due to the cost and complexity of such a plan.
- More than two-thirds (68%) of Oklahoma small business owners support a privately managed, ready-to-go retirement savings option that would help small businesses offer employees a way to save for retirement.
- Most (77%) small business owners in Oklahoma agree that state lawmakers should support a bill to help small business owner and their employees to access a retirement savings option.
A financially secure retirement is out of reach for millions of American workers and small business owners. Retirement savings plans can be costly to operate and challenging to manage leaving many workers and small business owners without access to a way to save for retirement.
To help workers and small business owners better prepare for their retirement, AARP is supporting states in their efforts to create and implement a state retirement savings option that would enable small business owners and their employees businesses to save out of their regular paycheck. These public–private managed state programs would be easy for employers to set up with low costs and low risks to the employer and the state.
This phone survey of 500 small business owners in Oklahoma was fielded in November 18 through December 18, 2019. The sample, including business owner names and companies, came from a Dun & Bradstreet business list and is weighted to reflect the Dun & Bradstreet universe of businesses in Oklahoma with 0–100 additional employees.

Aachen, NRW, Germany
Master Thesis
Carbon Capture processes have recently gained a lot of interest, as they could play a major role in achieving carbon neutrality. The carbon dioxide that is obtained from such processes, can be used in power-to-gas and power-to-liquid applications such as the generation of methane or methanol and help to reduce the use of fossil fuel within the chemical industry. Many studies also suggest that it will be necessary to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to reduce the effects of climate change. Different technologies exist to enable carbon capture, most of them including ad- and absorption processes. At TLK Energy, we model this kind of systems in Modelica using our TIL Adsorption Add-On or our Process Systems Library.
The goal of this thesis is to create a dynamic model of a Carbon Capture system and optimize it. The model will be set-up in Modelica using the libraries mentioned previously. Once it is modelled, the Carbon Capture system will be evaluated for various weather conditions and locations using numerical optimization. To enable this optimization, the simulation needs to be fast and robust. The results will then be compared to those obtained in a previous thesis for another type of Carbon Capture process.
As a modern company between science and industry, TLK Energy actively shapes technology transfer. With a young, motivated team, we work on transferring future-oriented solutions from research into practice and thus making the energy world a little more efficient every day. In our central office in Aachen, we rely on open interaction with each other and look forward to your support.

text: Utah has halted plans to buy 200,000 treatments of malaria drugs that have been widely touted by President Donald Trump for treating the new coronavirus despite warnings from doctors. Republican Gov. Gary Herbert said Friday the state is reviewing the circumstances around the planned $8 million purchase from local pharmacy Meds in Motion. A previous $800,000 purchase of hydroxychloroquine from the company is also being probed. An Associated Press review found Utah was one of a very few states that has spent money on the drug. Many others have received it through donations or from the federal stockpile. Meanwhile, Herbert said some restaurants closed to diners may begin reopening next week.
