can I get building insurance on one flat in a block. Was originally a block policy but management company has cancelled agreement.
Insuring one flat in a block
new posts
You cannot, as building insurance is for -- wait for it ------------------ a building, not one flat, but your freeholder IS responsible for insuring the building.
Your lease should state who is responsible for insuring the building ( although it's the leaseholders who eventusaly pay the bill.)
If they have cancelled it -- WHY, and if so, and lets say there are 6 months to run, you want 6 months of your share of the premium back ( does not work that way, but state that to the freeholders )
Also, you need to talk / ask / demand as to why they cancelled it as if the place burns down, you wont get the building rebuilt.
Also, the freeholder is probably not obeying the lease, so you can take them to court for not having insurance.
Read your lease and come back and confirm it's the freeholder ( maybe via a managing agent on behalf of the freeholder ) and why it was cancelled, and we can go from there.,
Buildings insurance for a single flat IS possible (we can offer such a policy) but it is only for when the circumstances require such cover. This doesn't take anything away from the rest of ram's comments and even I would suggest avoiding a single flat buildings insurance in these circumstances.
You should always ensure that an entire building is insured on one policy. Insuring a single flat by itself can lead to many problems in the event of a claim and would only ever be advised if there was no possible way to insure the property as a whole.
My advice is to go back to the management company following ram's advice above and go from there.Steve Smith - Company Director at a leading Landlord Insurance broker with 20+ years experience in the industry

One of my properties has a lease which says that if the freeholder chooses to insure the block then the leaseholders have to pay the insurance - but it doesn't state that the freeholder does have to insure the building.
I am currently wondering whether this falls under one of the "defective lease" grounds and opens up an application to the FTT?

by jpkeatesThe situation is different if the property is empty awaiting a tenant or the landlord to be is currently living there.
Landlord's insurance wont be valid if the landlord is the occupant.
Only if you plan to move back in during the voids (which would be very unusual).

by ash72I wouldn't, in the unfortuante case you need to make a claim while in the transition period, it may invalid the insurance if they decide to check.05-08-2020, 09:48 AM
I thought about just going straight for the landlord insurance but it was asking who it was rented to.. What their situation was etc. And I don't know that yet...05-08-2020, 09:46 AM
by ash72while the property is still on a residential basis you should obtain normal house insurance, then once you rent it out you should then get a landlord insurance. It would be better to see if the normal house insurance provider also provides landlords insurance as then the process would be much easier...05-08-2020, 09:26 AM
by hybricePersonally I'd just go straight in with landlord's, you'd probably find that the admin charges etc to upgrade you would be more than the premium anyway. Also bear in mind many insurance providers won't let you simply cancel after a month and will want the full term's value as a cancellation fee.05-08-2020, 09:24 AM

Andrew Bell, chairman of Regency Mines (LON:RGM), sheds light on the company's planned oil investments in the United States after it told investors it was eyeing near-term cash generative assets.
"The opportunities are located in Texas & Louisiana," Bell told Proactive Investors. "Essentially they are a variety of reworking propositions - three of which are already generating cash flow.
"We believe that cash flow could increase and the operations could become quite profitable in a relatively short space of time."
With natural resource markets still relatively weak, Regency is giving priority to the acquisition and development of low risk, low cost, cash generating assets with development potential.
Back in April, the firm sold out of the Horse Hill oil project in Sussex, UK.

2001-2002 BMW M Roadster
What do you all think about this series of car? I've liked them for years... well, liked the Z3/Z4's for years, until I found the M roadsters, and the more I read about the M roadsters, the more I wanted one. I personally like the sound of the 2001/2002 series, just because they're lighter than the later Z4-based models, yet still have the same S54 engine. And, as far as I know, it's the fastest 0-60 of any consumer-level production vehicle BMW has ever made. 315HP in a car that weighs 3000 pounds will do that.
On another note, it seems like a good investment. Less than 2000 of the 2001-2002 series (the only years with the S54 and the lighter Z3-esque body) were made... ever. So they're definitely going to be a collectors car. The problem is, if I bought one, I'd want to have fun with it, and probably stack up the miles on it. Still, better than stacking up the miles on a car that will be just about worthless when it comes time to sell.
Anyway, anyone have opinions on the series? Likes/dislikes? Other thoughts? I'm kind of thinking about a graduation present to myself come this fall... right now, the years I'm looking at are going for around $15k at the cheap end. Kinda pricey for my budget, but then again, the original pricetag was closing in on $100k, so I can't complain too much.

Services: Sunday 8 a.m. and 10 a.m.
Welcome to St. David's on-the-Hill
Episcopal Church
The Rectory
121 Sagamore Road, Cranston, RI
April 30, 2020
Beloved Saints of St. David's,
Peace be with you as we move into May - another month away from each other, but united nevertheless in heart and mind and spirit! We are a strong and resilient community of faith.
It's a Zoom life here at the Rectory. We have 3 Wyatts all negotiating for space for online meetings. In addition to connecting with St. David's folks - and our 'Virtual Vestry' - online, I have regular meetings with Diocesan staff and clergy, and with national Church clergy and leaders.
We at St. David's are experimenting with new ways to be church in this time. We had already been calling ourselves an 'Incubator for Mission' ... we just didn't expect this particular laboratory! We had planned a new 'creative' worship service ... who knew it would be online!
We now have the capacity to integrate music pre-recorded by members of our Choir with Lectors and Intercessors speaking from their own homes on Zoom with prayers and reflections filmed (with I Phones!) on Facebook Live in the sanctuary. Amazing. I am grateful to Andrea and Joe Hutnak and Chuck Wyatt for their support in these experiments!
To paraphrase Psalm 137: "How can we sing the Lord's song in this foreign land?" We do find ourselves in unexpected territory! As 'sheltering at home' continues, we continue to find ways to connect with each other using technology. It's not perfect. We're not able to reach everybody, but we use the tools we have in a time of crisis. How can we BE church in a new way?
We will begin a new feature on Sunday, May 3rd during our 10:00 Morning Prayer service - streaming live on the St. David's Facebook page - called 'Voices of St. David's.' During this time of separation, it is so important to find ways to stay connected to each other! We are inviting our Saints, one per week, to share a brief update, focusing on how your connection to St. David's has transformed your life and ministry as a disciple of Christ. Please contact Rosemary Soscia, Fred Malaby or Sue Hurn is you would like to offer a brief greeting/reflection.
How can we BE church in a new way? Well, our St. David's Stewardship Team met on Zoom this week to begin an engaging conversation on the book Not Your Parent's Offering Plate by J. Clif Christopher. And next Wednesday, May 13th, our Meditation Circle will come together virtually at 6:30 for some peaceful space and support. Zoom link invitations for this event as well as the invitation for our weekly Friday night coffee hour and prayer group were mailed to parishioners. Please use the electronic link in the invitations to join each event.
Please know you are very much in my prayers in this time of sheltering at home. I pray especially for those in loss or grief, those working on the front lines as medical staff or essential workers, and those losing income due to this pandemic. Please call me (508-259-7501) if I can be supportive in any way.
Please keep up with your giving to St. David's, especially as the spring fundraisers we planned to support our budget cannot happen. Online giving is especially helpful right now; I invite you to consider transferring your giving to an automatic bank payment to ease the strain on our volunteer counting teams.
Please be in touch with the Church Office if you need beautiful cloth face masks - the Rev. Barbara Mays-Stock has been keeping us well supplied! Thank you, Barbara!
In summary: Two special invitations - for Friday evening 'Conversation and Compline' and for Wednesday evening 'Meditation Circle.'
Rev. Andrea
Rev. Andrea Wyatt invites you to scheduled Zoom meetings.
Wednesday Evening Meditation Circle: Please Join us on
Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m..
Rev. Andrea Wyatt invites you to scheduled Zoom meetings.
Friday Evening Conversation and Compline. Please join us on Friday evenings at 7 p.m.
Maundy Thursday Reflection for April 2020
by Andrea Hutnak
Video - Click here: Maundy Thursday reflection
Text - Click here.
Our resident librarian, Andrea Hutnak has graciously put together a few more resources for our time apart-but-still-together. I offer her message here:
"While we're apart as a church family we can still pray together and also take the opportunity to become more familiar with praying the Daily Office which includes Morning Prayer, Noonday prayer, Evening Prayer, and Compline. Each short service can be found in the Online Book of Common Prayer. Click on Daily Office Lectionary to find the collect and readings for the day OR go to The Lectionary Page and click on the month and calendar day to find the day's readings. https://www.lectionarypage.net/
Or you could listen (including music!) at https://www.missionstclare.com/english/. One click gets you started, then click on the arrows to play the audio.
Not sure how to begin? The Daily Office Tutorial is a great resource to learn more about the Daily Office:
https://stgeorgesardmore.wordpress.com/the-daily-office-tutorial/ "We will take you through every Daily Office service in the Book of Common Prayer step by step, page number by page number, so that you can learn this beautiful, ancient, scriptural, and rhythmic pattern of prayer, and in so doing, join the countless throngs of ages past and present day who around the world and across the centuries offer up their prayer to God using these same words."
Thank you, Andrea! And thank you to our Choir, who rehearsed before we made the decision to close.
Peace be with you, and let us know how we can help,
Rev. Andrea

Vehicle Body Panel Thermal Buckling Resistance Analysis
Technical Paper
ISSN: 0148-7191, e-ISSN: 2688-3627
Published April 01, 2014 by SAE International in United States
Annotation ability available
Language: English
This paper discusses CAE simulation methods to predict the thermal induced buckling issues when vehicle body panels are subjected to the elevated temperature in e-coat oven. Both linear buckling analysis and implicit quasi-static analysis are discussed and studied using a quarter cylinder shell as an example. The linear buckling analysis could produce quick but non-conservative buckling temperature. With considering nonlinearity, implicit quasi-static analysis could predict a relative conservative critical temperature. In addition, the permanent deformations could be obtained to judge if the panel remains visible dent due to the buckling. Finally these two approaches have been compared to thermal bucking behavior of a panel on a vehicle going through thermal cycle of e-coat oven with the excellent agreement on its initial design and issue fix design. In conclusion, the linear buckling analysis could be used for quick thermal buckling evaluation and comparison on a series of proposals. The implicit quasi static analysis is must to conduct to determine if a body panel will buckle or not and how much permanent deformation may remain in any thermal circumstance.

I am a Nurse Practitioner in a busy hospital. I have had PA since 12 years old (so a really long time) & psoriasis since a young adult. I am at peace with my condition which although a nuisance, hard work & painful could be far worse.
From I am leaving this forum by Suzie
From I am leaving this forum by Suzie
Suzie @Ratgirl
I am going to get this off my chest before I go. This forum is about supporting each other & offering tips or commenting on experience to other psorasis sufferers. What I have witnessed recently is certain individuals promoting their own ideas on diet & going so far as guilt tripping members by implying that they have not got rid of their psorasis because they have done nothing & by trying the diets they will have healed skin!.
This isn't a one off post from them ...it is continous. The advice is not professional even though this person calls himself a body engineer (no formal qualifications & as a QUALIFIED professional health care working in the NHS I find this frightening). The advice is anecdotal with no research to back it up. If curing psorasis was as easy as changing your diet ......why & earth do we all suffer.
Sadly psorasis is NOT that easy to get rid of. We will all have periods of respite & periods of exacerbation. It is NOT your fault & there is no easy fix. With support & some medical intervention...we can all lead happy & fulfilling lives.
People....I know you are desperate & as a fellow sufferer I realise what impact it can have on your lives but be objective with the advice you find on here. Remember a few years ago when we had deaths in the UK from Chinese herbal remedies. Things aren't always harmless as they appear. Please do not change your lives or your diets on the advice of one unqualified person. Do your research this.
Good luck to you all in your journey & watch out for those who would prey on the desperation of other suffers. Not everyone on here has your best interests at heart. Most of all be healthy ...eat well & regularly exercise & more over NO guilt.

Suzie @Ratgirl
I would say well done but despite all the comments on here ...dietary changes are anecdotal & not evidenced by research. I am glad that some people get benefits from these BUT it had huge financial implications & life changes which will not be positive for many. I get cross as many psorasis sufferers are desperate for a cure & these fads give people false hope. My advice.... eat healthily no matter whether you have psorasis or not, exercise & enjoy your life.

Suzie @Ratgirl
Gotta agree with P4G that your brain is where all the sex happens especially as a woman. If the brain is not engaged then you can be 'playing' for a really long time & getting nowhere fast. Caring & love is important but it is the art of love making that elevates the relationship. Studies show that couples who do not have sex although they may be close ...do not share the level of intimacy that sexual partners (obviously these are long term) do. It is not the orgasms (although great)...it is the special bond (skin or in our case manky skin on skin). The trusting, the sharing & the total 1 to 1 time.

Mole already makes tons of LED lights.
I actually just shot something with a daylight mole senior LED and it worked great. Ran off of wall power, fully dimmable without changing the quality of light.
LEDs are awesome it's not a zero sum game.
every type of light is awesome and has its place.

If nothing else, Sudoku solvers have imagination when they name techniques!
This idea is completely analogous, logically, to pairs, triplets, etc.  Forbidding matrices
expose this analogy.
Here is the idea as an X wing:
Note the following:
This idea extends easily:
With N=1, we have the trivial case of a Unique Possibility. With N=2, we have a standard
X wing. With N=3, we have a swordfish. With N=4, we have a jellyfish.
with N=5, the creative name squirmbag is used.
To prove this technique, I prefer to use induction.
This technique merely crosses the possible locations of a candidate in N rows with N columns.
It is analogous to an Ntuple, which crosses the possible locations within a large container of N candidates with N cells.
Got all that? Now you are ready for the Swordfish Technique

Variable Clock Arbitrary Waveform Generator
The Variable Clock Arbitrary Waveform generator, AWG has many advantages to offer in terms generating complex waveforms.
Arbitrary Waveform Generators includes:
Arbitrary waveform generator Arbitrary function generator Variable clock AWG
Signal generator types: Signal Generator Basics RF signal generator Function generator Pulse generator
Although more complicated than some other forms of arbitrary waveform generators, AWGs, the variable clock arbitrary waveform generator is able to offer advantages in terms of the generation of complex waveforms and linkage of several waveforms together.
The variable clock arbitrary waveform generator is more complicated to use and in view of the internal electronics, it is also more expensive than other types.
Its flexibility and capabilities mean that this form of arbitrary waveform generator offers capabilities that are not available elsewhere and as such it fulfils a vital role for many test systems.
Variable clock arbitrary waveform generator basics
The variable clock arbitrary function generator is the more flexible form of arbitrary waveform generator.
The first variable clock arbitrary waveform generators used variable frequency clocks to serially access points on a waveform stored in RAM. These digital representations were then converted into an analogue format. For this form of signal generator, the repetition frequency was simply the clock frequency divided by the number of waveform points.
Further developments of the variable clock waveform generator included techniques such as memory segmentation and sequencing. These techniques greatly improved the capabilities of these AWGs.
Advantages / disadvantages of variable clock AWG
The variable clock arbitrary waveform generator is the most sophisticated form of arbitrary waveform or function generator. However it is not suitable for all applications..
Variable clock AWG advantages
- Sophisticated waveform generation: The variable clock arbitrary waveform generator is the most sophisticated for of waveform generator. It can produce the widest variation of waveforms of any form of generator.
- Linking of waveforms: It is possible to set up several waveforms within the memory and then link them together as required using the memory segmentation techniques available
Variable clock AWG disadvantages
- Costly: In view of the additional flexibility of the circuit, far more hardware si required, and this increases the cost of the test instrument.
- More complicated set-up: The added flexibility and capability of the variable clock arbitrary waveform generator means that it takes more expertise to programme, and it takes longer. Accordingly it may not always be appropriate for applications where simple standard waveforms are sufficient.
Although the cost of the variable clock arbitrary waveform generator is higher than that of other types, its capabilities enable it to generate very complex waveforms and as a result, it is often the only solution that can be employed. Accordingly it is an essential tool for many test systems.

I've been working with Defined Coffee to get them more noticeable in their local area.
Defined Coffee is a great little café within a set of shops on a crossroad, just around the corner from where I live. I'd driven passed Defined Coffee on some occasions to get to my work at the university, but I'd never thought to stop in.
One day I went for a walk specifically to check it out. I had a strong inkling to go there.
Defined Coffee is run by former cabinet-maker, Graham Price, and his mum – a social worker by day – Heather.
I headed through the sliding door to get my long black but first up I was blown away by the funky industrial interiors. Metal pipes and lights made from old factory parts. Little curiosities everywhere.
And the people! The service was friendly! They wanted to have a conversation with me, and I didn't feel rushed. The coffee and the experience hit the spot. So it became my regular coffee place.
Graham and Heather approached me like most business owners. Tired from being busy from everyday operations; knowing they needed to do more to promote themselves but unsure how to go about it, concerned they could pay too much for promotional help and advertising.
The shop was in a state of transition with staff and rental arrangements, and as such, there were a few extra challenges to overcome. So we engaged in an arrangement where I supported the business with coaching sessions and also by developing a social media strategy to consistently post and remain connected with their 840 Facebook friends and followers.
Once a month, I have a sit down to chat with Heather and Graham (with a fabulous coffee, of course!). We tease out some ideas to improve the business; they get to download their stresses, and together we look for solutions and ways through some of the issues that emerge. And some of the great ideas they have.
I also support them to create a particular online campaign each month, with a clear and simple message and 5-10 graphics to go with it. AKA good, clear, image driven Facebook posts.
The results have been excellent – even after a few months. Their Facebook posts, which were getting a bit repetitive and always used sourced graphics that weren't as authentic as their own, were getting about 4-6 likes and limited viewership (around 20) and reach. With the posts that I've helped them create, we've reignited a passion in their followers, and each post gets triple the likes, even some comments, a few shares; with a viewership of 200-800 and reach of much more. There's diversity in their posting content now and every image or video is authentic, 90% of images are branded with their logo, and are professionally written and consistent.
The first campaign we did featured Graham. And lots of photos of him! He didn't much like that, but boy did we get a good response! When you go to Defined Coffee, you go there for your coffee hit, but you also go there for a quick chat with Graham and the staff…I couldn't understand why he wasn't putting himself "out there" seeing though that is a massive element of the shop's appeal. He was a true champ and let me post about 12 images with his mug on it (pardon the pun), and lo and behold everyone loved them.
When you're a local business, the people in the business are a major selling point.
Defined Coffee is also consistently getting more and more page likes as they post more authentic content for themselves, and more and more people are coming through the doors. So it's working! And it's all been for very little investment. Six months of working with me will be equal to just two print ads…and we know where that industry is going…
Together, Defined Coffee and I have also made some plans for how the coffee shop can be more visible in the local community through a Writer's Residency Program and a Connect with Charity or Local community group plan. These guys are community development workers at heart. They know the potential a place can have to bring people together, and Heather's social work background gives greater scope to that aim of creating a community for the greater good.
We're thinking outside the box for ways to be seen by their audience – both online and in person. Stuff that means something, and they truly care about. In the process of doing it, I am seeing that Graham and Heather are growing too. The best part for me is seeing Graham and Heather's posts (which they create of their own bat) are doing so well! By re-engaging their audience and from just having a go at posting "real stuff", they're learning as they go and reaping the benefits. There's never an encounter where we're not smiling or laughing – and it's not just from the good drug of coffee.
If you feel like your business may benefit from Visibility Coaching, why not check out the Visibility Assessment to get you thinking…

Dio Maddin is not returning to the Raw commentary team. The news was announced tonight by Ryan Satin on WWE Backstage.
According to Satin, Maddin "still has aspirations of becoming a WWE Superstar" and will return to the WWE Performance Center to train as a wrestler.
Taking his place on commentary for now will be Samoa Joe, who will have the spot until he's cleared to return to the ring. Joe has been out with a broken thumb since September 9. On the November 12 episode of WWE Backstage, Joe said that he'll hopefully be back in the ring in "a few more weeks."
We don't know yet who'll take the spot after Joe is cleared.
Maddin was apparently written out of the role when he took an F5 from Brock Lesnar on the November 4 Raw.

Article Synopsis
Market research is considered to be a critical part of the innovation process. However, problems with market research can arise when companies fail to derive the outcomes of the research appropriately, thereby failing to implement the new ideas which could have otherwise taken the industry by storm. This article explores the pain points related to traditional market research and its impact on the overall innovation process. It also highlights the importance of implementing the right methodology in order to help companies innovate and develop new products and services based on the customer preferences…
Business Situation
Market Research is an integral part of the innovation process. The myriad forms of market research ranging from traditional surveys to prediction methodologies only reiterate its importance. A successful market research initiative can provide you with the right inputs for new product development. Even so, some companies find it difficult to make the most out of their research findings. This situation results in launches of new products and services that typically fail in the market. The very fact that more than 80% of the new product initiatives fail, reinforces that companies need to optimize the way they approach "innovation". It is a complicated process to understand the interest areas of the target audiences and at the same time gauge the potential size of the market. In an environment where the success rate of new product ideas is low, it becomes all the more important for companies to follow the right methodology in order to achieve superior results, which ensure maximum ROI.
Key Observations
There has been an ongoing debate on the importance of the role the customer plays in innovation. Many marketers tend to believe that their customers don't really help in innovation, believing that their customers look to companies to come up with new products and services. These marketers are missing a significant piece of the puzzle of innovation. Even though customers may be unaware of how a product should look or operate, they do know what benefits the product should bring, or how it should add value to their lives. Therefore, the most beneficial and the most effective market research focuses on key customer needs and benefits and leverages them to drive the innovation process. In a conventional market research, it is important to keep into consideration some of the factors, which inevitably acts as a barrier to innovation if not handled appropriately. So let´s have a closer look at the importance of Information Accuracy, Information Relevance and Data Interpretation.
Information Accuracy
The first step towards innovation requires a thorough understanding of the existing marketplace
– An incomplete understanding of the consumer only results in generating ideas that fail in almost all scenarios. Companies must be able to gauge the needs of their customers and ascertain the attributes that would instigate a change in their behavior. It is vital for companies to identify the factors that are most likely to improve customer experiences and simplify their customer's lives. Companies need to abandon the notion of building a new product and then creating a need around it. Companies must cultivate a customer-centric approach within their environment in order to drive the innovation process. A simple way to do it is to develop an ongoing dialogue with their customers, learning from them directly. Companies should draw in their customers, make them friends and focus on a shared future for the customer and the company. Identify the untapped opportunities in the customer journey and develop new ways to reduce cost, time, and make using the company's products emotionally satisfying. Success of innovation depends solely on how well companies can focus on the needs and benefits of the customers.
Information Relevance
The continuous struggle of companies for competitive advantage, dominant market share and value differentiation has resulted in a 'Red Ocean' market place. One result of the "Red Ocean" is that companies often fail to tap real consumer needs, eventually commoditizing their product offerings. Companies need to take a step back and realize the importance of having an effective 'Blue Ocean' strategy that gives them distance from the competitive fray. They can move to the "Blue Ocean" by designing and delivering unique customer experiences and that create value and addressing the pragmatic and emotional elements that the customer needs. The right practice is to engage consumers to improve and evaluate ideas, and companies can do that by:
- Talking to the right customers: Most companies question their existing customers, generating information for product enhancement and innovation. However, they tend to overlook the importance of actually engaging with those who are not brand loyal or are the worst customers of the company. A chance of innovating is at its best when companies interact with the customers it doesn't serve and understands their viewpoint and works towards making it a possibility
- Asking the right questions: In most cases, companies tend to ask the questions which drive the customer feedback towards a predetermined solution. This approach is erroneous because the outcome of this type of research often results in a new product or service offering, which becomes irrelevant to the market within a very short period of time. Ideally, companies should target their customer inquiries in a way that allows them to provide a solution to the existing concerns of their consumers. The focus of their research should be on the customer and the problems that they are trying to solve. This approach has the best chance of driving successful innovations.
Data Interpretation
Businesses today depend entirely on the data they gather from market research to make better decisions. However, it might just be a partial truth when it comes to innovation. Even though market research is a great tool, the very art of innovation is more human in nature. While research findings can make the process of decision-making easier and systematically approachable, it is the data scientists who ultimately create the right "stratifications," "predictive models" and attempt to learn and build actionable heuristics that drive successful innovative outcomes.
In the conclusion, it can be said that market research is a very powerful and valuable tool in the process of innovation. Companies need to use it appropriately in order to avoid market research from killing "Innovation".

Review on My 2nd Quarter Goals
My second quarter goals/things to improve on were learning how to make titles/credits better on Final Cut Pro 10, another was learning new tricks to use in editing on Final Cut Pro 10, and the final was learning how to make scripts for news stories better.
I think I have sort of learned more about the titles and credits generator on Final Cut Pro 10. I say that because one time when I was bored, I looked at all of the text options on Final Cut Pro 10 and messed around with them a little. One goal I would like to replace that would be to make a good PSA that I am confident about. I would like that because my last year PSA didn't really make me feel like it was the best I could do. You can see my last years PSA here.
I feel that I have completed my goal of learning how to edit better because I think that I have gotten better, but not as good as I would wish. I know mostly all the editing basics and a few more complicated things. I would wish to know some more of the more advanced editing tricks to make my editing faster and better. I am going to continue this goal, but learn more.
I am not too sure if I completed my goal on learning to write better news story scripts. I say that because I never really got a chance to write another news story script. I might have gotten better, but I might not have. I am going to find out during one of these STN practices though, so I will keep this goal.
I will try my best to complete these goals and learn more. Wish me luck! Bye!

I was the most hesitant to write about when I set forth to write something on Westernized beauty standards and Asian identity, my ideas kept circling back to the one topic. That topic is a complex issue for myriads of reasons. This has defined my entire life in deep-rooted means. It offers a history that is multifaceted the whole world, along with personal life. This has for ages been my best source of self-consciousness, self-loathing, and self-awareness.

It indicates that a epidermis fold regarding the eyelid that is upper the medial canthus, or internal corner, of this attention. Colloquially, they've been called "Asian eyes, " since they are predominantly related to Asian features, even though they have been available on individuals from various different forms of cultural backgrounds and therefore no more than 50 % of all (East) Asian men and women have them.
I will be one of these brilliant individuals.
It is not a whole story that stops in complete self-acceptance — at minimum, perhaps not yet. This tale will not get, "Once upon an occasion, we hated this element of my human body, the good news is i've started to recognize me gorgeous. It is element of why is" No. I do want to be entirely genuine to you right right here. In most cases, i do believe I'm pretty damned gorgeous, although my looks isn't frequently my principal interest. (let me make it clear about my intellectual insecurities and psychological shortcomings another time, ha! ) But, this 1 part of my exterior — my eyes — nevertheless continues to fuel my denigration of myself. They truly are phenotypic traits being effortlessly racialized.
These eyes would be the many marker that is evident of cultural back ground. I might state "genetic, " but each of my parents, and three of my four grandparents, have actually dual eyelids.

So with Christmas around the corner, we have to announce why Roger has been absent for the past couple of months. We know Roger as this down to earth, normal guy - but apparently, he has a sixth sense. Roger is a brilliant premier league punter, and over the past couple of months, he has played home over £25000 in pure profit. So as a Christmas gift for this year, we asked Roger for his best predictions.
Top Four Predictions
The race for the four Champions League places in the Premier League is heating up as the season heads into its business end. Six teams—Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United—are in the reckoning for the top four places.
Premier League leaders Chelsea have made things a bit easier for themselves by sprinting clear of the chasing pack and are the betting favourites at LeoVegas to win the title. Behind the Blues, though, starts the real tussle.
Only five points separate the five clubs behind Chelsea from second to sixth; hence, any team could rue having a bad run from now until the season's end. Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool is currently in such a sticky phase, having not won since the turn of the year.
Looking at historical data, it has taken an average of 68 points to finish fourth since the 20-team Premier League started in 1995/96. Arsenal in 2013/14 and Liverpool in 2003/04 accrued the highest (79) and the least (60) number of points respectively for a fourth-placed team since 1995/96.
This season, however, the dominance of the Premier League's top six has been so pronounced that all of them have collected points at a rate higher than the average for a fourth-placed finish: 1.79 per game. Manchester United in sixth has 40 points from 21 games thus far in 2016/17, a rate of 1.90 points per game.
All of which points to a far greater degree of unpredictability as regards which four teams make it into the Champions League places come the season's end.
With Chelsea's seven-point lead at the top, it is safe to assume the Blues will return to Europe's premier competition next season after a year's absence. That leaves us with a real crash-bang-wallop between the other five clubs.
Starting with Spurs, the north Londoners have a mean defence that has conceded only five open play goals in 21 games so far. Their attackers—Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen—have found some form of late; hence, it is easy to see why Spurs are right behind Chelsea in the title race. However, their trips to Wembley in the Europa League could spell trouble in their quest for Champions League football next season. Similar to Chelsea, Liverpool doesn't have European distractions, something that could be a key driver in determining who can make the top four places. Moreover, Klopp's side has the best record against the other top teams, another factor that makes them a frontrunner in the top four race.
Like Spurs, the other three clubs—Arsenal, City, and United—have Champions League or Europa League football in the second half of the season. Whether or not they make it into the latter rounds remains to be seen, but all three clubs have very little margin for error now since they are currently at the wrong end of the top six.
Arsenal has never failed to finish top four in Arsene Wenger's time at the club, while City and United's wild summer spending makes a finish outside the Champions League places somewhat unfathomable for both clubs.
Chelsea has set the pace in the points department (2.48 points per game), Spurs in defence (0.67 goals conceded per game), and Liverpool in attack (2.33 goals scored per game). If they can sustain those numbers, it will be enough to make the top four. Arsenal in fourth has slightly worse attacking numbers than Liverpool in third, while Manchester United's attacking conversion rates are below par despite a strong defence.
Manchester City in fifth is exactly between Arsenal and United in the underlying numbers, and it could come down to an early European exit for one of those three clubs to seal the final top-four slot.

text: Art is a contrivance. Even at its best, a painting or a story arranges and distorts reality in order to impose the viewpoint of the author. What then of the forgery, the counterfeit art that is created not with the intent of expressing the painter's vision, but of duplicating the look of a past master? Is the fake Rembrandt a piece of crap, even if it draws admiration and awe from experts who have been taken in by its artifice? Hand it to Incognito (1998) director John Badham and star Jason Patric. They can start with such theoretical musings and build upon them a crime thriller with a sexy dark edge. That's art and entertainment.

A new hire is a big deal. A piece of an unfinished puzzle. A chance to add valuable skills and great energy to your team. Meeting a candidate in an interview is a great first impression, but let's be real: you're meeting their Best Self, not necessarily their Real Self. A potential hire will tell you everything you want to hear, but trying to cut through the fluff can be a challenge.
Enter: the reference.
A reference, usually a former boss or coworker, is your key to getting the real story on your potential candidate. They have shared workspace, email correspondence, and project managements with them, and probably know a thing or two about what makes them tick. With such a valuable resource at your fingertips, make sure you use your time wisely – asking them these questions will offer a glimpse into this new hire.
1) What motivates them?
Are they driven by deadlines? Pushed by penalties? Encouraged by esteem-boosts? Find out what gets them going from someone who knows, and ensure you're pushing your new employee to their full potential in a way that works.
2) What was their role on the team?
In this case, we aren't talking about their technical role, but more or their social role. Every workplace has its own dynamic, and employees naturally find their place from the start. Are they the idea initiator or more likely to let the brainstorm session sit and simmer? Maybe they keep the mood light in meetings. Maybe they're a bit of a morale drag. Who knows? You'll have to ask.
3) In what area would they need support during their first few months?
This is a crucial question for planning your next quarter. Get a sense of your potential hire's problem areas and you won't be caught off-guard when some subpar skills show up later.
4) Can you name a situation when this candidate has gone above and beyond?
The answer to this question won't be as revealing as the speed at which it is answered. If an instance is recalled quickly, you can assume the candidate goes beyond their expected duties fairly often.
5) Would you hire them again?
Perhaps the most important question to ask, the answer to this sums up the reference's overall impression of the candidate and indicates whether this person is worth hiring or not. Whether the answer is yes or no, be sure to press for an explanation.
6) What conflicts did they have? How were they resolved?
As they say, "beautiful sunsets don't exist without cloudy skies." There's a chance even the most attractive candidate has had some clouds in their professional past. Learn more about how your candidate responds to pressure and conflict with a question that's bound to get an interesting response.
When dealing with a potential new hire, don't make any assumptions. Put some effort into your discussions with references, and get the valuable information for making your decision!
This week, media outlets announced that unemployment applications are at their lowest since 1969. With sluggish consumer and business spending, this is a promising sign, suggesting companies are retaining employees.
In a market that leans heavily in favor of candidates, companies have to sell themselves as a desirable place of employment. Stocked fridges, company outings, and above-standard benefits are one thing, but there are better ways to attract top talent than throwing perks in their direction.
Know what you want from a candidate.
If you want employees to be in it for the long haul, offer benefits that reflect this. Incremental increases in vacation and sick time, generous parental leave (or any parental leave, these days), and opportunities for candidates to advance at the company all favor a longer term employee. Mile marker incentives can also be very effective: try a bonus week of vacation for the fifth year of employment at the company, or something similar.
If you're in search of a continuous wave of fresh-faced innovative candidates, emphasize the importance of their role in current projects. Offer opportunities to travel and tell them about your post-work happy hours.
Be good at what you do.
The best way to attract the best people? Be the best company. We know, we're oversimplifying, but having a successful business will attract better candidates than adding ping pong tables to your break room. Simply put: people want to work at companies that are doing well. If you're the best that's out there, you won't have to work hard to emerge as a frontrunner for top talent.
Be straightforward.
A job posting should be detailed, clear, and concise, putting all requirements and responsibilities at the forefront. The actual position should meet any expectations made from the job description, to allow candidates to identify opportunities for their skills to really shine. They know what they could bring to the table, and being aware of all facets of the job beforehand means they can provide insight into their purpose and strengths in the role.
Check with your own Top Talent.
You know who's perfect for bringing in great candidates? Great employees! Offer a referral bonus to your team and have your best people scour their networks to fill the open position. They're aware that any referral reflects on their judgement, so no worries about your team suggesting just anyone in hopes of bringing in some bonus money – only their top choices will make it to your desk. Asking them to connect you shows you value their opinion, but compensating them somehow shows just how much. Plus, you'll be hiring someone who already gets along with at least one person on your team!
It can be a challenge to attract stellar job candidates, but we'll help you make it easier! Have you tried any of these tips?
Let us know what we can do for you. We'll be in touch soon.
