Stay Away from Risky Downloads
It's a truism I've mentioned throughout this book that most unwanted content and software arrives by invitation on most PCs, rather than by insidious or nefarious means. At this point, I assume you're convinced that threats are everywhere and that vulnerabilities can be exploited given the right opportunity. If you've installed a firewall, anti-virus software, anti-spyware/anti-adware software and have done what you can to protect your system from these threats, that doesn't mean you can do anything you want on the Internet.
It's important to recall that signatures and other means of positive identification inform most of what protective software can do for your PC. Indeed, the presence of anti-virus and anti-spyware/anti-adware software on your machine should protect you from known threatsbut what about new or unknown ones? I look at software downloads much the same way as I do at e-mail attachments: okay if they come from a known and trusted source, but questionable if not downright dangerous otherwise.
To make my point as directly as possible, don't download software from unknown or untrusted sources. If you can't find a glowing review of some shareware or freeware program in a reputable publication or on a well-known Web site, you're tempting fate (and risking infection or infestation) if you copy a download to your PC, and then install the software it contains. Stick to well-known sources of shareware and freeware and resist the temptation to grab a cool-sounding or -looking tool or utility. Just because you can download anything you want, doesn't necessarily mean that you should.

How to Get Into an MBA Program Without Taking the GMAT
The GMAT acts as a stumbling block for professionals who want to pursue an MBA online.
Many universities and business schools require prospective students to take the GMAT to enroll in their online MBA programs. For busy professionals, however, studying for GMAT does not look like a viable option.
Many professionals hold a view that a standardized test cannot measure the value of business acumen acquired after working for a number of years solving real-world problems. That's why a number of colleges have eliminated the GMAT requirement for their online MBA programs.
Business schools that were offering specializations in the healthcare industry were among the first schools to eliminate the GMAT from their application process.
What is the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test)?
The GMAC, Graduate Management Admission Council has been administering the GMAT to assess the skills of business school applicants since 1953. Every year, more than 250,000 students take the GMAT all across the world.
The test challenges the candidates to prove their reasoning abilities, verbal skills, writing skills and quantitative aptitude.
Candidates can earn a score between 200 and 800. More than 60% applicants score between 400 and 600. You need to earn a score more than 700 to get enrolled in reputed business schools.
Why do schools offer waivers and not require GMAT?
GMAT can assess the candidate's basic skills, but it cannot measure intangible qualities like team management, leadership abilities, etc. Schools recognize that work experience and advanced degrees are strong evidence of the applicant's skills.
Eliminating GMAT removes a number of hurdles that discourage successful professionals from applying for the program. Business schools get an applicant pool of professionals from different backgrounds.
Admission Requirements for Schools That Waive GMAT
Work Experience
You will need anywhere between 3-10 years of work experience for a GMAT waiver. You must exhibit managerial potential evidenced by the projects you have handled.
Advanced Degrees
Advanced degrees like M.D., J.D., Ph.D. can get you a GMAT waiver in online business schools that offer GMAT waivers.
Letters of Recommendation
If you have letters of recommendation from employers or professors, you can get the GMAT waiver while applying for an online MBA course. They demonstrate your career potential and academic readiness.
Personal Statement
Online business schools use the essay portion of the application to filter out the serious candidates from the rest. Short essays on real-world business problems and solutions will indicate your business acumen. You can use the essay or personal statement to express your commitment to your profession and the course.
Professional Certifications
Professional certifications like CFA, Six Sigma, CPA, etc. authenticate the math skills you need to complete the MBA course. Together with work experience, they can get you the GMAT waiver.
You will probably not get a GMAT waiver solely with an exceptional GPA. However, in certain cases, a degree in Finance, or STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) with exceptional grades can get you the GMAT waiver.
Evaluating Online MBA No GMAT Programs
There are a number of online MBA courses that offer a GMAT waiver but you must evaluate the course before enrolling. To choose the best online MBA program, research all the aspects of the course.
Type of Course
Different online MBA programs follow different formats. Find a program that fits your lifestyle. You should consider the length of the program, the flexibility of hours to take classes, size of your batch, etc., before enrolling.
The faculty is one of the most important factors you should take into consideration while choosing an online MBA program. Your instructors will shape your educational experience and also help you make important connections. Best MBA programs have working business professionals with years of experience as instructors.
A government agency or an independent board make sure that the business program meets the set standards. Accreditation is another critical factor you should never ignore.
Placement Rates
Choose a business school that has a high placement rate. It indicates that the school supports the candidates even after the completion of the course.
Most online MBA courses will offer similar core classes. Elective courses vary in topic and the curriculum. Find a program that offers the specific course you are interested in pursuing.
Accreditation for Schools Without GMAT Requirements
Business schools and MBA courses must be accredited for students to get financial aid, reimbursements of the tuition fee, transfer credits, and validation of the entire course. AACSB and ACBSP are the two most widely recognized bodies for the accreditation of MBA programs and business schools.
To Sum Up
You can enroll in an ACBSP or AACSB accredited online business course with a GMAT waiver if you don't want to invest your time into studying for a high GMAT score. The number of MBA programs that offer a GMAT waiver is increasing but you must evaluable the course thoroughly before applying.
You will need a resume, documented professional experience, letters of recommendations, personal statements and short essays, etc. before applying for the course.

Hardware News, glif, iphone, smartphone, studioneat, tripod — November 28, 2013 0:00 — 0 Comments
Studio Neat launch new Glif to fit any smartphone
Three years since the launch of the original Glif on Kickstarter, Studio Neat produce a new version of the tripod mount to fit all smartphones
Those industrious people at Studio Neat have been in the development lab again, modifying their highly successful Glif tripod mount for iPhones so that it now fits all smartphones.
As many iPhone owners know, the original Glif was a simple but highly efficient accessory that allowed you to mount your phone to a tripod for taking great pictures or making movies.
Other benefits included the ability to prop up your iPhone on your desk or a table to watch videos or Skype.
The design is simple, and the Glif is made from recyclable rubberized plastic that clamps tight to your phone and has a 1/4″-20 thread that fits any standard tripod or camera mount.
Studio Neat's new Glif will work with practically any smartphone, with or without a case. Use the included hex key to fit the Glif to your phone. Once sized to your phone, you won't need to make any additional adjustments. The Glif will fit devices between 58.4–86.4mm wide and 3.1–12.7mm thick.
The original Glif for iPhone 4 was launched with a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2010, it's had a couple of updates to adapt to newer iPhone models but the new adjustable Glif marks the biggest update yet.
Should you wish to invest in a new Glif (highly recommended), it includes a hex key to adjust the Glif to fit your device, as well as a keychain attachment so you can carry the Glif with you wherever you go.
The original Glif, is also still available!

Call for Speakers: Building Trust Through Design
Tell us your story
To submit a lightning talk proposal please fill out the proposal form by August 20, 2018.
We are accepting proposals for an evening of lightning talks!
Join IxDA Seattle at the Seattle Design Festival
At our upcoming Community Speakers: Building Trust Through Design event on Monday, September 17th, we'll be showcasing our community's stories on designing for trust.
This event is part of a lineup of "Trust" related stories and events at the Seattle Design Festival.
Why Trust?
As society progresses, our relationships and ties to each other become increasingly complex. When we mediate our conversations with technology, does that change our relationships with one another? Does technology blur the lines of trust between us, or change our concepts of trust? What are our personal responsibilities when building impactful products that people interact with? Do we have that responsibility at all? As designers and technologists how do we enhance, rather than deteriorate, trust?
About the format
We are looking for speakers to give a short (up to 10 minutes) talk inspired by these prompts. Your presentation does not have to be a direct response to those questions, but it should address a specific aspect of the intersection of Trust and Design that you're passionate about.
To submit a lightning talk proposal please fill out the proposal form by August 20, 2018.
Contact firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Technology stocks closed mixed Thursday as the sector felt the fallout of broad market concerns about the latest batch of U.S. economic data.
After two days of up-and-down action caused by moves by the Federal Reserve his time, it was the nation's wholesale inflation numbers, which in November rose to a 34-year high, according to new Labor Department figures. See full story.
The tech sector continued with its back-and-forth ways of this week, with losses coming from IBM Corp. IBM, -0.76%, Dell Inc. DELL, -2.24%, Google Inc. GOOG, -0.71% and Broadcom Corp. BRCM.
The Nasdaq Composite Index $COMPQ, home to many leading tech stocks, reclaimed most of its losses, but still closed down by 2.6 points at 2,668, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index SOX, -1.83% and the Morgan Stanley High Tech 35 Index MSH, +9.68% also lost ground.
Gains came from Apple Inc. AAPL, -1.46%, Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ, -1.49%, Microsoft Corp. MSFT, -1.16%, and Texas Instruments Inc. TXN, -1.68%.
Among other tech stocks, On Semiconductor Corp. ONNN fell 28 cents a share, or 3.2%, to $8.54 after the analog chipmaker said it would acquire AMIS Holdings Inc. AMIS in a stock deal worth about $915 million. AMIS shares surged by $2.29, or more than 31%, to $9.64.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. AMD, -0.79% shares fell 13 cents to close at $8.84 as the No. 2 computer chipmaker held its analyst meeting in New York. Company officials said they were taking steps to ensure that the product transition delays of 2007 would not occur next year.
Ciena Corp. CIEN, -1.05% shares fell $5.08, or 12%, to $37.04 after the maker of optical-networking equipment gave a 2008 sales forecast that was lower than Wall Street's estimates. The company also reported fourh-quarter results that showed earnings more-than-doubled from a year ago. See full story.
Electronic capacitor developer Kemet Corp. KEM, -0.81% saw its shares fall by 8 cents, to $6.18 after it said it would sell $125 million in senior notes and was in talks to buy an undisclosed company that had $85 million in sales and $5 million in earnings in 2006.
Plantronics Inc. PLT, +1.74% fell $4.94 a share, or more than 18%, to $22.32 after J.P. Morgan cut its rating on the communications headset maker to underweight from neutral on the grounds that the company's business is being squeezed by Motorola Inc. MOT and Nokia Corp. NOK, +2.72%.

Welcome to my blog. I document my memories, outfits, travels and beauty favorites here. Explore around and feel free to contact me!
All tagged pink
How many times have I browsed through my closet and recalled the memories which stay with a piece of clothing? I'm looking into my drawer right now and I can already see so many good (and bad) days laid in front of me. On the left, there's a stretched out T-shirt with Mickey Mouse on it. This found its way to me through my boyfriend, who sent it to Paris with a friend, while I was working there. He knew I missed him and that I loved wearing his shirts, so when he couldn't come there himself, he sent the next best thing. It really made the months apart not so tough.

Fueling My Mind & Feeding My Soul: My Favorite Reads of 2016
The theme of this current season in my life is geared toward strengthening my mind. As I have embarked on this journey, I am realizing that my brain very well may be the weakest part of my body. What's my current technique to fuel my mind and feed my soul? Make sure that I am pouring in thoughts that challenge me to grow and surrounding myself with positive energy as much as possible.
Now, it is definitely easier said than done and I personally have had several slip-ups on this journey but when that happens I just re-adjust, reset, and connect with someone that can talk some sense into me and help me get back on the right wavelength. You see, knowing your limitations, weaknesses, and having a plan is essential.
Part of the readjusting and resetting process often times involves diving into a good read in an effort to realign my thoughts and focus on how I can make a change in my situation. These four books have been so essential to me surviving 2016, some I have read three to four times just to really get and apply the message. Now I know that these books were written by regular people just like you and me. I also know that you shouldn't take everything you read as fact. But, opening your mind and applying a dose of your own common sense can be the perfect formula to jumpstart a better mindset that may just result in a better life - if you let it.
So, let's get into the four books that fueled my mind and fed my soul in 2016.
This is an extremely short read with a great number of gems which is one of it's many selling points. The reality is that we are always receiving negative thoughts from outside sources and even from ourselves. So, in order to reverse those effects it is important that we learn how to tackle those "mind monsters" from the inside out. Kevin Gerald will help you do that, all while giving you a biblical perspective on how to avoid self sabotage and allowing circumstances to affect what's truly for you.
The Year of "Yes" by Shonda Rhimes
I am a definite TGIT girl so when I heard that Shonda Rhimes had written a book I absolutely had to take a peek. I love her fresh perspective on how to focus on the positive and get rid of those excuses that keep you in your comfort zone in order to develop as a person and discover the best version of yourself. Anxiety and self-doubt are a mother...you know the rest. Her transparency helps the reader understand the concept that you never know what people are really dealing with no matter what things look like on the outside. The best part is that if you are dedicated to changing your mindset, you really can take steps towards changing your life.
One Month to Live: Thirty Days to a No-Regrets Life by Kerry and Chris Shook
I am a journaling queen! So, give me a book that has daily tasks, is not overwhelming, gives me "tweetable" gems and I am in heaven! This book asks you to look at what exactly you would change in your life if you only had 30 days to live. I do not mean the tasks you would complete, but how would you LIVE. How would you treat people? How would you spend your time? I love the reflection that this read brought on and I love the fact that you can't get lost in it because you have to take it a day at a time and actually DO THE WORK.
If you have seen the movie 'War Room' then you are familiar with the leading lady who is also the author of this book. This read isn't for everybody - let me start by being transparent with that. It is definitely geared to those who are serious about their spiritual walk and in a place where they DESPERATELY need change. The author states that this can be for every woman in preparation for their season of "family life" but I kind of disagree. I would personally recommend this book for mothers, married women, or women in a serious relationship but that is just my opinion. I love that this book is interactive and geared toward helping you to create your own "war room."
I think these reads would be a great way to start the new year and would be great gifts of "growth" for your friends and family. Who doesn't want to give the gift of growth? These are not "fix it" reads but they can/will definitely help you to reflect and refocus, which we all need sometimes whether we are willing to admit it or not! Happy reading! Drop some of your favorite reads from this year in the comment area! I am in the process of getting my book wish list together for 2017!

01506 348924 / 07780 196941
Hi, I am Melanie Gardiner and I am a qualified Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioner based in West Lothian. I am the owner of EnergyWell.
What I can do for you is all in the name.
Are you frustrated at feeling tired? Do you have that afternoon slump that makes you reach for chocolate, biscuits or cakes? Do you wake exhausted and struggle to get through your day? Do you feel you have lost your vitality and love for life? Or maybe you have gained unwanted pounds throughout the years and no matter what you do they still will not shift?
Let me work with you to help you gain back your ENERGY and feel WELL. By working alongside me through various coaching techniques, I can help you to increase your energy, overcome your fatigue and take control of your weight.
I offer a variety of consultation packages to suit your needs at this very moment. It is important to note that some health concerns take longer to alleviate than others and therefore your commitment to yourself and to the programme should be 100%. You will have 100% support from me with my expert, qualified,knowledge in the field of nutrition which is kept up to date by my attendance at various ongoing conferences.
Trust me, I know how demanding it can be living in a society that moves so fast that it is virtually impossible to find time to relax, let alone take care of yourself and your body with the proper nourishment it deserves from whole foods.
I want you to enter your consultation with me excited, motivated and with a 100% commitment to yourself. This is YOUR time.
In your consultation with me, I will assess your diet and lifestyle, family medical history, as well as your personal medical history. The information that I gather from this assessment will allow me to formulate a protocol to address your health concerns and help you reach your health goals. There may be times when I may recommend supplements to provide alleviation or support.
I may suggest functional testing as this may be required to allow for a more informative understanding of the underlying causes that may be causing your health concerns and these are used to make, and support, informed decisions on diet and lifestyle, supplements and well-being.
The laboratories with whom I work will provide you with the test kits. I will receive a copy of your results and it is my role to interpret these results and translate them for you and help you to identify deficiencies which may then be corrected with therapeutic foods, dietary and lifestyle modifications and supplementation.
Consultations can be arranged via my website and I am happy to conduct consultations either:
As well as working with adults, I have a real passion for working with children to help educate them on the importance of good nutrition.
At present I am working with young footballers to help them fuel their performance both on and off the field. However, I am looking to expand this to any youth activity where nutrition has an important role in their performance (rugby, dance, swimming)as well as working with those children who may also be experiencing weight or health issues.
Services can be provided on a one-to-one basis or done in groups. I also work with families to help modify their diet and lifestyle in order that everyone can feel their optimal best.
Contact me today for a free 30-minute consultation.
A free 30-minute complimentary consultationto allow me to gain an understanding of your health concerns, your goals and what I can offer to help address your concerns or help you achieve your goals.
A free 7-day program – Kick your Sugar Habit in 7 Days
A £80 health assessment to help you determine what EnergyWell Nutrition Package is suitable for you to help you achieve your goals and address your health concerns.
A variety of EnergyWell Nutrition Packages ranging from 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. This will very much depend on what your healthconcerns or goals are.
Prices range from £250, £500 and £700.
As I previously mentioned, It is important to note that in some instances it may be necessary to recommend and arrange for functional testing to be undertaken. This would be done at your discretion and discussed in full detail during your consultation with me.
Thank you for taking the time to review my profile here on Nutritionists Resource. I very much look forward to hearing and working with you in the near future.

Andrés Rodríguez
Classic ceviche
Av. La Mar 770, Miraflores, Lima
+51 1 421 3365
Chief reason to visit: To mix with Lima's buzzing foodie crowd and sample chef Andrés Rodríguez's creative repertoire of ceviches that include octopus, sea urchin, shrimp and grouper – along with a pisco sour or two.
A few words on the chef: A loyal subject of Gastón Acurio's culinary empire, Rodríguez led the kitchens at Astrid & Gastón and Tanta, both in Madrid, before returning to Peru to take over from previous La Mar chef Anthony Vasquez.
Typical dishes: Ceviche; chalaca de causas, featuring crab, sand smelt crackling, avocado and tartare sauce.
What's the vibe? This is a no-reservations joint – and hugely popular – so expect to queue. Known for its pisco-led cocktails as well as its seafood, La Mar is relaxed limeño dining at its best.
What else: La Mar takes its social responsibility seriously by promoting sustainable seafood sourcing. It only uses fresh fish of the day in order to alleviate over-exploited fish species.

128 killed in Pakistan election violence as ex-PM Sharif is arrested
2 separate bombings occur as Nawaz Sharif's return heightens tensions in the days before election
Ousted Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam, both sentenced to lengthy jail terms in absentia, returned to Pakistan to face arrest in a high-stakes gamble to galvanize their beleaguered party in a general election campaign marred by deadly violence.
Uniformed men escorted the Sharifs, who were sentenced in absentia on corruption charges last week, from the airplane soon after it touched down Friday in the central city of Lahore at around 8:45 p.m., a Reuters reporter on the plane said.
Local Geo TV reported the pair were placed under arrest shortly afterwards and taken to another waiting airplane to be transported out of Lahore, where more than 10,000 Sharif supporters were gathered to support him.
A suicide bomber killed scores at an election rally in southwestern Pakistan in the second election-related attack of the day, and the biggest attack in the country in over a year.
The Associated Press reported that the death toll from the suicide bombing stood at 128.
Senior police official Qaim Lashari had earlier said that more than 1,000 people were in attendance at the rally in the town of Mastung in the violence-plagued province of Baluchistan.
Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claimed responsibility for the attack, the group's AMAQ news agency said. The group provided no further detail or evidence for its claim.
Among those killed was Baluchistan provincial assembly candidate Siraj Raisani, whose brother, Nawab Aslam Raisani, had served as the provincial chief minister from 2008 to 2013.
"My brother Siraj Raisani has been martyred," said Haji Lashkari Raisani, another brother who is also contesting a national assembly seat from Baluchistan.
Earlier in the day, a bomb blast killed four people in the northern town of Bannu when it struck the campaign convoy of Akram Khan Durrani, an ally of Sharif's party from the religious Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal party (MMA).
Sharif is returning from Britain one week after an anti-corruption court handed him a 10-year jail term over the purchase of luxury London flats, and sentenced his daughter and political heir to seven years in prison. PML-N loyalists have said they will march to the airport in defiance of a ban on all public rallies.
Canada condemns in the strongest terms this week's attacks against candidates and voters participating in #Pakistan's elections. These are cowardly attacks against democracy.—@cafreeland
Thousands of police were deployed in the central city of Lahore and shipping containers placed along main roads that could be used to block protesters who support the former PM from moving towards the airport,
The return of the Sharifs could shake up an election race marred by claims Pakistan's powerful military is working behind the scenes to skew the contest in favour of ex-cricket hero Imran Khan.
Sharif alleges the military is aiding a "judicial witch-hunt" against him and his PML-N party. The party's past five years in power has been punctuated by the civil-military discord that has plagued Pakistan since its inception.
In a televised appeal to supporters from London earlier this week, Sharif said he was not afraid of prison and asked people to vote for his party. He also used the opportunity to again criticize Pakistan's powerful military, saying the country now has a "state above the state."
The opposition Pakistan People Party (PPP) also alleged "pre-poll rigging" this week, but did not specifically name the armed forces.
The military, which has ruled Pakistan for about half its history since 1947, has denied interfering in modern-day politics. It plans to place 371,000 soldiers around polling stations so there can a "free and fair" elections, an army spokesperson said this week.
"Nawaz really believes this is about democracy and his legacy," Musadik Malik, Sharif ally and former PML-N cabinet minister, told Reuters. "That is why he is willing to lose 10 years of his life over this."
Panama Papers spurred ouster
Sharif's PML-N expects a groundswell of support as he returns from London, where his wife Kulsoom is critically ill and undergoing cancer treatment. To prevent PML-N workers from staging a hero's welcome on the streets, authorities said they will arrest the father and daughter upon landing and transport them to the capital Islamabad by helicopter, local media reported.
Sharif's return comes at a time of dwindling fortunes for his party, which one year ago was considered a runaway favourite to retain power.
Recent opinion polls suggest PML-N has lost its lead nationally to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party of arch-rival Khan, whose anti-corruption message has resonated with many Pakistanis.
Khan has painted Sharif as a "criminal" who has looted the state for decades, and welcomes his prison term as overdue accountability.
Sharif was ordered jailed after failing to explain how the family acquired the London flats in a case stemming from 2016 Panama Papers revelations that showed they owned the apartments through offshore companies. Maryam was convicted for concealing ownership of the apartments. They both deny wrongdoing.
After the Supreme Court ousted Sharif last July, the courts barred him from heading the PML-N party he founded. His brother Shehbaz became PML-N's president, but Sharif remains the power behind the throne.
Since then, a host of his allies have been either disqualified by the courts or face corruption cases. Many PML-N lawmakers have also defected to Khan's party.
PML-N has also had internal divisions. Sections of the party oppose Sharif's combative approach against the army, and fear it will turn off voters in a deeply conservative and patriotic Muslim nation of 208 million people.
The kind of reception Sharif receives on the streets of Lahore will be viewed carefully in Pakistan, where political popularity is often measured by the size of rallies that politicians can attract.
PML-N leaders say authorities have begun a crackdown against union council leaders, the street-level party workers who bring out people on the streets, detaining hundreds of workers over the last 36 hours.
"Those who think they can scare us...open your ears and hear this: we are winning this election," Shehbaz Sharif told reporters in Lahore on Thursday.
Friday's violence was not an anomaly. A suicide bomber blew himself up at a rally by an anti-Taliban political party in the northern city of Peshawar on Tuesday, killing 20 people, including Haroon Bilour, who was vying for a provincial assembly seat.
The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.

Cape Town - The "blesser" phenomenon has seriously been blowing up our timelines lately, and even celebrities are weighing in on this trending topic.
On Tuesday evening, playboy Kenny Kunene, appeared on the current affair show, Check Point, apologising to all the women he used to bless. "I apologise to all those girls who I directly or indirectly bought for sex. I realise that I was a pimp and I turned countless girls into prostitutes."
Some people even went as far as to call Khanyi Mbau the original "blessee" because of her marriage to millionaire Mandla Mthembu. To which she responded on Twitter, "He can't be a blesser if I was his wife."
So, where do we draw the line? Lets start at the beginning.
1) What is a "blesser"?
Just that. A "blesser" blesses his "blessee" with anything from money and weaves to overseas holidays, and Louis Vuitton bags. Think of him as the modern day "sugar daddy". So basically, when you have a "blesser" then your life is blessed financially.
2) Where does the term "blesser" come from?
The term "blesser" comes from social media. Girls would post pictures on Instagram of themselves sipping cocktails on the beach, popping bottles in the club or getting their nails done, using the hashtag #blessed. Some people started asking: Who's really blessing them? And just like that, a cultural phenomenon was born.
3) Where can a "blesser" be found?
Much like everything these days, you can even find a "blesser" online. Yes, there is an actual dating site Blesserfinder. But we rarely see the identity of these "blessers" because more often than not, they are married and some even have children.
4) Who are we to judge?
Just like Kenny Kunene, you might think that this is prostitution. Essentially these "blessees" are accepting money in exchange for sex.
Well, in an interview with CheckPoint, the founder of Blesserfinder said that he is not a pimp, because he does not charge for the service. "There was no payment upfront for sex," he said in the interview.
For many young woman this lifestyle might look extremely appealing. And for many this is their only way out of poverty. At the end of the day, the Mercedes Benz and the penthouse all come at a cost.
But who are we to judge? In the end, you have to live your best life. And only you can decide what that means for you.

One of these days I'll finish a quilt. For now, I'm comfortable starting more.
This is the stack of fabrics I put together for a quilt I'm making my husband for our upcoming 10th anniversary. It might seem girly, but these were our wedding colours. Colours that he loved then (or so he said) and I'm hoping he'll still like. It's for a king sized quilt that is for a date that is 2 months away. Yup, I am purely insane.
Insanely in love.
(Ugh, gag me with a spoon.)
I'll do my best. I got this quilt in my head and I'm on a mission.
BTW, did I mention that our anniversary is more or less my due date? I probably should have done that when I introduced The Bet the other day.
(BTW, he doesn't read the blog at all, so the only way he'll find out is if certain people say something to him. You know who you are - keep your mouth shut!)

"The only thing better than being swept away by the deliciousness of our Extra Crispy Chicken is being swept away by Harland Sanders himself."
Happy Mother's Day from KFC: A Colonel Sanders romance novel
By Susan Hogan
For Mother's Day, KFC has released a steamy romance book, Tender Wings of Desire.
The e-book, available for download from Amazon.com (free in the U.S., $1.35 in Canada), is about two people from different parts of the world who leave home, breaking their mothers' hearts in the process.
One of them is the Colonel. The other, Lady Madeline Parker, is a runaway teen bride.
It's dedicated to "mothers everywhere" as a "brief escape from motherhood into the arms of your fantasy Colonel."
KFC says Mother's Day is its best-selling day of the year. The book is part of an advertising campaign to promote the chain's "$20 Fill Up" meal.
"The only thing better than being swept away by the deliciousness of our Extra Crispy Chicken is being swept away by Harland Sanders himself," George Felix, director of advertising for KFC U.S., said in a statement. "So this Mother's Day, the bucket of chicken I get for my wife will come with a side of steamy romance novella."
A video ad for the book – which some may find cheeky, others distasteful – features a long-haired, shirtless man and the message: "This Mother's Day, let Colonel Sanders take care of dinner and Mom's fantasies."
The shirtless man, straining to be sexy, reads from the book, stopping to turn the pages by looking into the camera and slowly licking his thumb as soft music plays in the background.
Okay, the chicken may or may not be "finger-lickin'" good, but the book?
"As she lied in Colonel Sanders arms, she could not help but feel that she finally belongs somewhere," the man reads.
In addition to the bad grammar you might have spotted above, there are typos in the book. But, at least according to one of the early reviews on Amazon.com, it's better than expected.
"I downloaded the book as a joke, because I thought, 'Who … writes a romance novel featuring Colonel Sanders?' But I was pleasantly surprised. It started off with a huge amount of cheese, and ended with me in tears (that could also be because of the onions my sister was chopping at the time)."
Although the campaign sounds like a commercial for Valentine's Day, KFC insists it is all about female parents.
"Don't you wish you were a mom?" the shirtless man asks.
And now to the book's story line, which goes something like this:
A rich woman has two daughters. She arranges to have her older daughter marry a duke, which, the book suggests, was the younger daughter's fantasy. But not Lady Madeline, "who would be perfectly happy to be a spinster all of her life."
(In addition to the derogatory term "spinster," the derogatory "old maid" is also bandied about.)
Before the marriage can take place, Madeline runs away without leaving even a goodbye note to her mother.
She ends up in a harbor town, takes a job at a local tavern – the Admiral's Arms – and falls head over heels in love with Harland, a customer who is "tall, dressed like a sailor with a striped linen shirt and woolen peacoat crusted with sea salt. His hair was light and fair, framing his head in airy curls."
And he wore glasses, apparently a source of passion for her. "Madeline had never seen a sailor wear glasses before; somehow it made him seem all the more handsome."
KFC, of course, was founded by glasses-wearing Colonel Harland Sanders, who remains the face of the fast-food chain, even after his death in 1980. Most of the enduring images of Sanders are from his twilight years.
He was never accused of being a sex symbol, though KFC has tried giving him a more hip image with saucy ads featuring a string of celebrities, including actor George Hamilton as the "Extra Crispy Colonel" and Billy Zane as "Georgia Gold Colonel"
In a recent campaign, actor Rob Lowe played the colonel wearing a spacesuit, all to promote KFC's Zinger chicken sandwich.
In the book, Madeline's first kiss with Harland is depicted as sort of the beginning of her personal women's liberation movement. "Unfettered by the life that was expected of her, she was technically unfettered from the expectations of her place in society."
Or, depending on your view, it's her downward spiral toward embracing casual sex.
"No longer did she have to maintain her modesty; on the contrary, she was free to be with whomever she desired, regardless of whether they were going to end up being her husband."
She decides to sleep with Harland, who is mighty accommodating. And then, by accident, she learns that he's the wealthy owner of a restaurant empire that he built from scratch. And his mother is very, very sick and needs him in Kentucky.
Soon they are engaged. The book leaves the rest of their story to the imagination, ending with the couple on a boat sailing "off into their own private happily ever after."
It doesn't say whether they ever have children.
Happy Mother's Day.

Currently between trail bikes, I thought I might enter the alternate, genre smashing, new world order of fat biking. This Rocky Mountain Blizzard has 4.7" tires which is almost double the width that I have been running on my trail bike (2.4").
Destination Mt Hutt Bike Park and a hearty climb up the ski field access road was quite the resistance training with 10psi and and extra 6lbs of butter in bike weight.
Going down, with gravity assistance the low pressures made rocks and roots smooth as silk and I was grinning widely. Not nearly as fast but hey it's no race.
The fat bike bug didn't quite bite. But it's so different and I can appreciate the applications. Massive traction, low tire pressures, big load carrying. Fat bikes respect!

24/7 RENT A CAR Lahore AND SUDDEN PLANS
Sudden plans are my favorite thing to do and I and my friend make such plans quite often. We are all travelers and have loads of fun when getting out together and have seen almost all the places of our beautiful country. We have found out many places that are not so common and overrated among normal people but are really beautiful and pleasant to see. Now, this has become a thirst and I think beautiful places are my thirst I just have to find out new pretty places that feel really awesome.
One can enjoy such trips only with a personal vehicle and a driver that will manage everything related to the car and you just have to enjoy. In winter vacations we made one such plane and everything was ready but we thought to choose another rent a car service this time as we were a bit annoyed of our old rental service. It was my responsibility to choose the car service so I had two days for this I asked some of my friends and searched out myself. I visited the office of 24/7 rent a car Lahore and the office environment was at first site very impressive. I took information and told my need to them they guided me so well and their package was quite cheap. I booked the car and told my friends.
On the decided day we were ready and excited making plans about our skating and stay for the whole next week. 24/7 rent a car Lahore came on the right time that we gave to them. We loaded our things and set out on our journey. The whole week just flew away and we did not have to think much about ways and car because that man was sensible enough and new many ways and was guiding us too.
This whole trip was totally perfect just because of 24/7 rent a car Lahore it was never so satisfactory to roam around and visit places. For all the people who like to travel and travel 24/7 rent a car Lahore is the best choice, it is cheaper than any other fancy looking companies. We feel easier and more comfortable in traveling since we use 24/7 rent a car Lahore. We can make sudden outing plans without even hesitating about the service quality or the money. Everybody wants the maximum service in minimum money so does us and surely you too.
As we had the average budget while ordering the car we thought we might get a mini car with no air conditioner and have some rough condition but we were really amazed to see what came to pick us up. It was a big black Honda Civic, the latest model. My youngest sister was very happy as if they are going to gift it to her, silly. Well, we put our entire luggage in the trunk and we all get into the car. The driver started to drive the car. At first, we thought the driver is very rough and won't talk to us but afterward he keep on with our jolly environment and he did not make us feel uncomfortable. Furthermore, the car was neat and clean, it was nicely maintained. We reached to our sister's home with having a great journey and during the way, the driver kept telling us the amazing stories about the Islamabad. Every road that we crossed, that man had some story for it to tell us. He was very humble and kind. He told us about his company and his boss that he is the very kind person and down to earth. He said that all the employees live like a brother there and care for each other. Now after all that whenever we talk about that trip, the time we spent in travel was very mesmerizing and interesting. I strongly recommend their services to other.

Information on parasite control provided by an interactive web site has prompted many sheep farmers to be pro-active regarding sheep health.
In 2016, Zoetis established a network of 'Parasite Watch' sentinel farms across the UK to support parasite control decisions. They have extended the remit this year through the inclusion of more farms and an upgrade in technology to provide farmers with insight into stomach worms, Nematodirus, liver fluke and fly burdens in their particular area.
Veterinary Consultant with Zoetis, Aurelie Moralis outlines the information provided:
Gastro-intestinal worms – regular Faecal Egg Counts (FECs) and growth rate monitoring to check for the onset of parasitic gastro-enteritis.
Nematodirus – regular FECs, weather data and other sources to give an indication of disease risk on sentinel farms.
Liver Fluke – using risk and weather data, coupled with regular sampling on Parasite Watch farms, to provide early notice of predictable threats.
Flies – data from Parasite Watch Farms to prompt early warnings, possibly before it is noticeable around livestock, that fly populations, are multiplying quickly.
Aurelie commented: "Overall, the aim of Parasite Watch is widespread evidence-based decisions to treat or indeed not to treat. It informs vets, SQP's and farmers if they are able to reduce treatments or whether the impact on production, given the parasite challenge, is likely to be too high a risk.
"We have created an interactive website at www.parasitewatch.co.uk that allows farmers to get to know our Parasite Watch farms and the challenges they're currently facing. They can check back regularly and follow us on Twitter @sheep_farmers and Facebook SheepfarmersUK for updates and commentary on the findings."
The Northern Ireland 'Parasite Watch' farmer is Ian Martin who farms just outside Ballyroney, with a lovely view of the Mourne mountains. Outlining his sheep enterprise he said: "The majority of land, which is about 80 acres, is around the home farm where we lamb all the ewes and then have two smaller out farms for grazing later in the season. We run around 185 ewes, mainly Texel/Mule crosses which lambed at the end of February/beginning of March and 70 ewe lambs which lambed down at the beginning of April, some with triplets! We mainly use a Texel ram and a Beltex or Suffolk ram to a lesser extent."
Commenting on his experience with the Parasite Watch scheme to date, Ian said: "It does take time to gather the ewes and lambs in to collect the dung samples, but I would rather take the time now to find out if they need wormed rather than worming them unnecessarily. Last year we dosed the lambs a lot more than to date this year, so we have saved money and time spent dosing on a regular basis when it was not necessary."
Aurelie advises farmers: "In addition to looking at risks in your area by using the Parasite Watch map, you should also be using faecal egg counts as a monitoring tool, as well as monitoring growth rates."
Preventing resistance
Sheep farmer Peter Baber, who is also one of the 18 farms involved in Parasite Watch, believes long-term targeting of wormers has helped control the development of resistance on his farm.
He farms 1,000 Exlana, Suffolk and Texel ewes at Weir Park Farm, Christow, Exeter, and is also chairman of Sustainable Control of Parasites in Sheep (SCOPS).
He has been taking faecal egg counts for the past 10 years and will only worm if results indicate there is a problem.
Last year he was pleased to find that the white BZ group worked 100% on his farm early in the season for Nematodirus.
"It implies we don't have blanket resistance to BZ's, which is good news and could be an indication of how successful using faecal egg counts are."
Mr Baber says drenching is a double edge sword. "Every time you drench you are essentially moving the whole farm down the road to resistance. You have to work out whether the group or animal in question is going to really benefit from the drench."
Mr Baber says if he has a faecal egg count that comes back showing medium risk, he may go out and drench 20% of the flock. "It shows there are some worms there, so I will worm those animals most at risk.
"Taking faecal egg counts builds a picture of what is happening on farm and will help preserve the useful lifetime of some drenches," he adds.
How to use
Parasite Watch
The aim of Parasite Watch is to show what is happening across the UK using an interactive map found at www.parasitewatch.co.uk. Parasite data from each of the farms will be updated regularly, which will allow farmers to see if there are spikes in certain parasites throughout the year in their area and enable them to take appropriate action.
To use the map, click on a farm in your area and details of any parasites that have been found as well as when they were detected will be displayed. Test results will be online within hours of the test being taken.

The country/western two-step, often called the "Texas two-step" or simply the "two-step," is a country/western dance usually danced to country music.
As with other country/western dances, there are different versions of two step. Even the same dance may go by different names depending on the area of the U.S., and even in the particular dance hall. There may be no one "correct" way to do a particular dance.
From Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia @
I've come to believe that parenting isn't that different than dancing really. Everybody has their own unique style; no two people do it exactly the same. Some parents just jump onto the dance floor and the moves come naturally. Some simply have no interest whatsoever. I think most of us kind of just shuffle at first, but keep on trying to get better at it. Hopefully the beat kicks in and we all end up a bit more coordinated and graceful by the time the dance is over.
There is a never-ending debate on who's actually getting it right. The judges will never see eye to eye. So even though most parents start off trying to learn the basic steps to please the judges, a lot of what comes later ends up being very much an improvised and personal interpretation. In the end, most people realize that dancing and parenting is not anything they're ever going to get paid or recognized for; you simply have to do it for the sheer love of it and enjoy the simple pleasures it brings.
I'm not a great dancer, but I love to dance. I'm not a great parent, but I love being a mom. I don't always get it right. I fumble a lot. Sometimes I trip up. Other times I'm just grooving away, then looking back I realize I was probably completely off-beat. Even when I'm gliding across the dance floor oblivious to the judges, there is a seed of doubt in my mind that I've missed a beat.
Right now, I'm trying to capture that fluid motion I so appreciate in natural born dancers. I'm watching Kiddo grow up; it's a new tune for both of us, and we don't yet really get the tempo changes. We know the mood is changing, but we're not yet really sure how that translates onto the dance floor. We do know the moves are a lot more complicated. We know there are a few aerial flips involved, where I actually have to let go of her a bit, and these still require a lot of practice. We're fumbling a bit.
The last few weeks, she's been attending a summer sports camp. She loves the social interaction, and I think she's starting to enjoy the actual "sports" component, but she's facing issues that are new to her. She's not yet into her groove, and I can't help but think I'm failing as a dance coach.
The children in her group are all different ages, at all different levels of sporting skill and sportsmanship. Some are sociable little beings like her, mostly there to make new friends and giggle and have a bit of fun playing dodgeball and swimming. Others are fully engrossed in the athletics and the activity. And finally there are a select few natural born competitors, out to prove their prowess both on the floor and off.
It's the latter that are causing the real issue for me as a mom. I'm really fumbling as I try to figure out how to even step out onto the dance floor.
You see, Kiddo's been coming home telling me about this particular child who is two years older and "not nice" to her. Kiddo doesn't get it. She wants to play with this kid, and can't understand why this kid is constantly pushing her away or ridiculing her.
I'm so torn. On the one hand, I tell myself that this is life, and that Kiddo's got to learn to stand up for herself and simply ignore anyone who can't appreciate her. Better that she get strong now. So I tell her to play with the friends she's got, stop trying to engage that kid in conversation or play, and simply ignore the kid or anyone else who doesn't treat her right. I tell myself that teaching her to stand up for herself and to alienate the "bad guys" is responsible parenting on my part. I tell myself this is how to take to the dance floor like a professional. I tell myself that she's growing up, she's changing, her world is changing, and she has to find her way.
Love this song as sung by father-daughter. Old dance moves aren't that easy to change, but I think it's possible if you try.
But then the novice dancer in me, the kid in me, chimes in. Whispers in my ear "Is it really about getting the steps right, or is it about feeling the music?" And that's when I want to burst onto the dance scene with Kiddo. I fight the urge to bust a move on the 10-year-old bully. I have to resist challenging her to a dance-off. Because even though in my mind I could really humiliate her with my amazing mother-daughter dance routine, I think my pre-historic dance moves would probably end up being more of an embarrassment to Kiddo than anything else.
So I stand back; watch Kiddo as she flails her arms at the back of the dodgeball pack, determined to stay away from any incoming balls. Watch as the other kid tries to goad Kiddo. Watch Kiddo ignore the kid, just like we talked about. Watch the other kid poke Kiddo in a further attempt to grab her attention. Kiddo stands firm, ignoring this kid. It takes everything to keep me off the dance floor; I have a really good idea where my dancing shoes would lead me, and it's not a good place. I tell myself this is Kiddo's dance challenge to win or lose.
When the game is over, I walk over to Kiddo. She's surprised to see I'm still there, but happy. I tell her I'm proud of her. Tell her to make sure to let the other kid know not to ever touch her again. Then I stare the other kid down.
I know what you're thinking. I'm 43. The kid is 10. But I warned you in the beginning: I'm not a great dancer - I'm just trying to get better at it. I don't know this dance so well, and I'll certainly never be a world-class champion. But as long as Kiddo never doubts that I'll be there to catch her on that aerial flip, I think we'll do ok.
Some people say this song by Dave Matthews Band is about lovers ... I've always thought about it more as about celebrating the moment and recognizing that change is unavoidable. It's called Two Step by the way ...

The present study aimed to investigate the associations between personality traits, alcohol consumption and risky sexual behaviour. The study was based on a cross-sectional survey of 196 male and female undergraduate students at Edinburgh University, aged 17-28 years old. Participants completed the International Personality Item Pool Questionnaire (Goldberg, 1993), as well as instruments to assess Sensation Seeking, Impulse Control and self-esteem. Self-reported alcohol consumption and risky sexual behaviours were measured using two additional scales developed specifically for this study. Multiple regression analyses revealed that in both men (p = .012) and women (p = .000) higher Sensation Seeking predicted greater alcohol consumption, accounting for 10% and 17.7% of the variance, respectively. Lower conscientiousness (p = .005) and higher Extraversion (p = .013) also emerged as independent predictors of alcohol consumption in women, accounting for a further 4% and 2.9% of the variance, respectively. In males, lower Agreeableness (p = .025) emerged as an independent predictor of risky sexual behaviour, accounting for 7.7% of the variance before and after adjustment for alcohol consumption. In females, higher Sensation Seeking (p = .001) was an independent predictor of risky sexual behaviour, accounting for 8.1% of the variance. However, after adjustment for alcohol consumption, Sensation-Seeking was no longer a significant predictor of risky sexual behaviour in females, with alcohol consumption alone (p = .001) accounting for 13% of the variance. In conclusion, the relationships between personality, alcohol consumption and sexual risk taking differed for men and women. The results suggest that males with lower levels of Agreeableness may incur an increased risk for sexually transmitted diseases. The results in females suggest there may be a direct relationship between alcohol consumption and risky sexual behaviour.

Grace Bonney: Design Sponge
Chelsea Sonksen
Marisa Vitale
Grace Bonney is a woman who needs no introduction. In fact, over the past sixty-five interviews we've conducted for Bossladies, more than a quarter of the women have attributed some degree of their success to Grace. Her company, Design*Sponge, is one of the most-read blogs on the web, featuring a range of content from home tours and profiles to recipes, DIYs, and business advice (e.g. 10 Tips for Licensing Your Art.)
Grace started Design*Sponge in 2004 as a side project while she was working at a design PR firm. At the time, she was living in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Each day on her walk to the subway she noticed interesting types of design and art emerging, yet magazines and newspapers weren't covering any of it. So during her lunch breaks, Grace wrote about the art she had seen, assuming that someday she'd use the blog as a resume to apply to a magazine.
A year later, House & Garden magazine asked Grace to create their website. It was exactly what she had wanted. But only two years later, the magazine closed. Grace moved to Domino magazine and worked for their website until they too closed. She realized that working at a magazine wasn't going to be the secure job she had imagined it would be. "I always thought print was the safest place you could go. You could get healthcare, a reliable paycheck…"
There may have been a time when that was true, but it clearly wasn't the case any longer. It was 2008, and most industries were unstable. Rather than seek out another position, Grace decided to make Design*Sponge full time. She got an accountant and a lawyer, made her first hires, and did competitive research to learn the best practices for managing a happy, productive team.
It will come as no surprise that our favorite content on Design*Sponge is Biz Ladies: a column with business advice and profiles on business owners. But we hadn't realized that Biz Ladies began as a live event. Grace first had the idea when she was attending a wine and cheese night at a friend's home. The guests were talking through some of their questions about taxes, and suddenly one woman, who ran an Etsy store said, "I'm so glad I don't have to worry about all these tax things because I don't have to pay taxes on my Etsy account."
Grace was shocked. She realized many business owners lacked an understanding of fundamental aspects of running a business. (Years before, she had made a tax error herself that almost caused her to go bankrupt.) So Grace embarked on an eight city event series to help women across the country learn business skills. In each city she assembled a panel of five experts, herself included, who taught guests, pro-bono, about publicity and marketing, wholesale pricing, hiring and firing, and legal. Eventually, Biz Ladies morphed into a column on the blog with articles on business-related topics like: 10 Golden Rules About Getting Paid As A Creative.
Last year, Grace published In The Company of Women, a collection of Q+As by a diverse group of female makers, artists, and entrepreneurs that seems, in some ways, the culmination of Biz Ladies. It was supposed to be another DIY book, or at least that's the book her publisher had bought, but for a year and a half, Grace avoided the project. Her heart wasn't in it, and she knew that a book on diverse women business owners would be so much more impactful. "I went in [to my publisher] and said, 'You can have your money back OR, here's this totally different idea.' " They agreed to let her switch topics and gave her a 2-month deadline to write and photograph the whole collection.
Over the past year, Grace has become increasingly more vocal about politics, social justice, and the need for activism. Some have told her to "stay in her lane" and "keep writing about houses," but she refuses. "It doesn't just feel lame to not talk about it. It feels irresponsible…It's not the job of the people who are directly affected by this stuff to do all the work."
What is the inspiration behind your business?
My business mission is constantly evolving. In the beginning I simply wanted to have a place to talk about things I loved that weren't being given the attention they deserved. Then I realized how few people were supporting handmade work, so I dedicated myself to raising support and awareness for handmade artists. As I got to know those makers better, I realized how many of them didn't have the basic business information or education they needed, so I began to weave business advice and in-person events into my business structure. These days, I'm most inspired by finding and celebrating the connection between creativity and business—how they inform each other and how we can support people trying to do both.
What was one of the hardest things you encountered as you brought your idea to fruition?
I almost always choose my ethics and desire to do good over a desire to make money, but over the years that has limited—and hurt—my business. These days I try to make passion projects profitable, so they'll have a greater chance of succeeding and aren't just flash-in-the-pan ideas.
How would you describe your working dynamic with other women? Easier than working with men? More challenging?
I personally don't notice a huge difference in working dynamics when it comes to genders, except when it comes to pricing. I've found that, across the board, men are more comfortable asking for more money, and both men and women tend to accept men's demands without question. I try to make sure the women I work with know to ask for what they're worth and aren't afraid to stand by that number when they're questioned.
Where do you see yourself, and your business, in ten years? Do you think that far ahead?
The blogging industry and ad market are changing constantly, so at this point, the only thing I can picture is my personal life. In ten years, I hope to have one or two children with my wife and to be an involved member of our community, wherever that may be. I hope I'm still doing work that includes face-to-face time with women in business and using the skills I've learned from blogging in ways that help serve the greater good.
What advice do you have for women who want to start their own businesses?
Never be afraid to ask the questions you need to ask. I spent too much time not asking questions because I thought I should already know the answers. But admitting what you don't know and actually learning will always serve your business. Also, make sure you read every contract at least three times—and then hire a lawyer to read it too.

As a nation we have had many young people rise to international success in the areas of sports, entertainment and academics. When these individuals in turn use their success to give back to the community that built them and help develop others, their efforts are definitely worthy of support. This is why blink I bmobile proudly partnered with the Daren Ganga Foundation as gold sponsor for its charity golf tournament recently at the Millennium Lakes Golf and Country Club.
The Daren Ganga Foundation was founded in 2007 by Daren with the goal of assisting local youth in realizing their full potential by identifying children who excel in academics and/or extracurricular activities and providing them with exposure and opportunities to further develop via scholarship and mentorship programmes, sporting camps and financial assistance.
This charity golf tournament is hosted with the hope of raising funds in order to help the Foundation achieve its objective of nurturing and fostering the holistic development of youth of the nation. This objective is an ideal fit for the blink I bmobile Foundation which shares the same vision as the Daren Ganga Foundation. According to Rhonda Lee-Yhapp, Acting Head of Marketing and Communications at blink I bmobile, "Our nation is full of talented young people who are sometimes not afforded the opportunity to reach their maximum potential. We admire the work Daren has been doing in the local community in providing opportunities to those who need it the most. As one of our brand ambassadors we are proud to share his dream and commitment to the positive development of the nation's youth."
This year the tournament celebrated its 4th anniversary and has become a much anticipated event on the local golf calendar. Approximately sixty teams made up of one hundred and twenty participants from throughout the region joined Daren as he changed sporting profession for the day to compete for the worthy cause.
In explaining the reason behind his efforts Daren indicated that, "I personally understand how critical support and proper mentorship can be in creating positive outcomes. Through the work of the foundation I would like to return the favours given onto me to the future generation and I am grateful for the support received for this tournament as the funds raised here will help make some dreams come true."
blink I bmobile congratulates the Daren Ganga Foundation for its efforts in assisting with the development of the local youth. The benefits gained from the commitment and hardwork are priceless to our society.

Learning with Lamdeinu
Local institution draws students from across metropolitan area
Here in northern New Jersey, we live in the cultural and religious shadow of New York City.
Sure, we have fine synagogues and top-notch day schools and even excellent kosher restaurants. But face it: You have to cross the Hudson River to find a rabbinical seminary or a national Jewish organization.
Which makes it noteworthy that a young Teaneck educational institution is bringing students to Jersey.
The institution is Lamdeinu — that's Hebrew for "teach us" — and it is a community beit midrash, a house of study for adults, offering classes in Talmud, Tanach, and other Jewish subjects. It holds its classes in Congregation Beth Aaron in Teaneck, but it aims to draw students from the entire community.
And as it has developed in the three years since it began in July 2014, the community includes both banks of the Hudson.
"A large percentage of our students are from outside the Teaneck area," Rachel Friedman said. Ms. Friedman is dean of Lamdeinu. She is a former associate dean of Drisha, the Manhattan beit midrash that was one of the first Orthodox institutions to provide advanced Talmud training to women.
During the summer, Lamdeinu has an advanced Talmud class restricted to women — many of whom work as teachers and have their summers free. During the year it has a women-only Talmud class for students with less Talmud experience. Most classes, however, are coed.
"We teach at a very high level but we are not a graduate school," Ms. Friedman said. "People come to Lamdeinu to enrich and enhance their religious lives through learning — the richest part of our tradition."

Instagram. Oh, Instagram. We've had a bit of a love/hate relationship over the years, but I've started to bring it back to love again. Let me show you how...
Instagram can be a time-sucking black hole of comparison, procrastination, and structured reality. With themes, flat lays, and almost-too-perfect-to-be-real holiday snaps, it's hard to take a step back and asses the actual benefits of Instagram as a platform for your blog or business.
It's hard to keep up with - I think we can ALL agree to that 💁🏻 I used to spend more time trying to figure out strategies and understanding the algorithm changes than I did actually posting new content.
"Should I switch to a business account? How many hashtags should I use? Why did this photo I took 30 minutes editing get 40 likes but this spontaneous selfie get 120 likes? What is life?"
These are all questions that I'd not only ask myself, but questions that members of my community would ask me on a regular basis. As a social media strategist at the time, it took a lot of guts to say "I honestly don't know."
I can only teach what has worked for me but I don't work at Instagram or Facebook. I can't tell you exactly what the algorithm favours; I don't know for sure if being a business account is the best move; I sure as heck can't tell you if 'shadowbanning' is real or not 😂
I can tell you one thing though and that is: Instagram is exactly what you make of it.
If you want to be surrounded by perfectly curated feeds, do it. If you want to push through all the changes and use Instagram as your primary sales platform, then do it. If you want to use Instagram to make meaningful connections and grow a community, You 👏 Can 👏 Do 👏 It!
I'm going to walk you through how I shifted my focus away from the aesthetic and vanity metrics of Instagram, and towards a focus on building a community and making connections.

Risk Management
Organizations worldwide need to identify and manage many internal and external risks, such as market risk, operational risk, legal risk, IT risk, financial risk and reputational risk. Risk management is increasingly viewed by executives as an integral part of business strategy and business decision making, leading to increased board level momentum and support.
Surprisingly, many organizations still manage risks using spreadsheets. This approach makes it difficult to implement common risk management processes across business units, and almost impossible to report on centrally in a timely manner.
SureCloud Risk Management is a cloud-based application that allows organizations to identify, assess and manage risks of all types across divisions, business units and geographies. It provides a streamlined risk management processes and a central view of risk across the enterprise. The solution allows organizations to support multiple Risk Frameworks such as COSO and ISO simultaneously, and is a central component of the SureCloud GRC Suite, providing key capabilities across the following areas:
- Policy Management
- Compliance Management
- Incident Management
- Business
- Continuity Management
- Third Party Risk Management
- Audit Management

It is well documented that effective prevention and management of mental health issues requires a comprehensive, multilayered approach with coordinated action by multiple stakeholders.
Policing organisations currently use different systems and methodologies in response to occupational and psychosocial risk factors.
As part of the ANZPAA Safety and Wellbeing Working Group Action plan (2014-15), this strategic framework was developed to establish a set of cross-jurisdictional Guiding Principles for managing the broad spectrum of mental health in policing.
The Guiding Principles incorporate evidence-based components drawn from various fields and perspectives including the World Health Organisation (WHO), public health, preventative medicine, occupational health and safety, health productivity, health promotion and organisational psychology.

A new review confirms that smoking has bad effects on a man's semen.
Using the most up-to-date definition of abnormal sperm from the World Health Organization, the researchers found that smokers have lower sperm counts, poorer sperm movement, and more irregularly shaped sperm than nonsmokers.
Ashok Agarwal of the American Center for Reproductive Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic and colleagues reviewed 20 studies including almost 6,000 participants. Men exposed to cigarette smoke had notably fewer sperm per ejaculate, fewer mobile sperm and more irregularly shaped sperm, the researchers reported in European Urology.
The extent to which male fertility is affected by smoking isn't clear yet, Agarwal told Reuters Health by email.
"However, accumulating data indicate that the ability of the sperm to fertilize and subsequently enable the development of a normal fetus is dependent on many other co-factors in addition to the basic semen parameters," like DNA breakage and genetic changes in the sperm, which cannot be diagnosed in a simple semen analysis, he said.
None of the studies in this review evaluated what happened to semen quality when a man quit smoking, he said.
"We can say clearly that smoking alters male fertility," he said. "Hence smoking cessation must be strongly advised to couples seeking fertility."
Laypeople think of smoking as causing lung cancer, emphysema and heart disease, but likely do not link it to fertility, said Ajay K. Nangia of the urology department at the University of Kansas Hospital and Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas, who was not part of the new review.
Chemicals in tar and nicotine enter the blood and travel down into semen and can affect sperm, Nangia told Reuters Health by phone.
Smoking can also cause erectile dysfunction in young men, he said.
"Even the risk of heart attack is less important than erectile dysfunction for some men," Nangia said.
Semen characteristics may improve after quitting smoking, but neither heart disease nor erectile dysfunction will go away, he said.
"If you don't have good erections, that's a component of fertility," he said.
"As caregivers, we always say that smoking is harmful in general and it negatively impacts fertility in particular," Agarwal said. "Smoking adversely impacts all bodily systems and it is well known serious hazard to health."
