The Islamic world today is a realm of complex and diverse beliefs. While it may be true that Islam is a guiding source in shaping the cultures of Muslim societies, it doesn't mean that all Muslims follow the same traditions.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 06, 2015
Huma Munir is the latest 'Featured Contributor' on WorldReligionNews.com. Huma was disturbed to read the March 22, 2015 article New York Post article wherein Somali-born American activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali referred to all Muslims as "rotten apples." In her recent World Religion News 'Featured Contributor' article, published May 4, 2015, Munir admits to a multitude of challenges facing the Islamic world such as extremism in the broader world and sectarian violence within Muslim communities while making her point that unless we look into the hearts of all Muslims, we cannot conclude that the entire Islamic world is based on a foundation of a corrupt ideology.

Bodyguard Protection Services News & Articles
Protocols to Increase Efficiency of VIP Protection in South Africa
Our agents are trained rigorously so as to not only survive potentially deadly situations, but also disarm threats and deliver the client to complete safety. VIP protection in South Africa, due to the sensitive and demanding nature of the job, is easily one of the most challenging career paths. In order to ensure that our agents operate optimally, so that you receive the maximum benefits of our specialised services, we also provide our clients with a certain amount of training. This also ensures that in the event of a threat or imminent danger you also know how to respond appropriately and have a basic understanding of what to expect from the agent.
Basic Movement
This may seem like it should come naturally to most people, but history has shown that many people, shocked by the sheer surprise of the attack, temporarily 'lose' their ability to think clearly. This means that in this state the individual can easily endanger themself. When acquiring VIP protection in South Africa with us, we see to it that our clients are trained how and when to "get low" and how to reduce their visibility in order to steer clear of harms way. Once the client is low and covered they must then listen to and cooperate with the agent, who will effectively guide them to safety.
Cooperation and Trust
Cooperation is obvious as the agent will be able to explain precisely what the client must do in order to keep safe, but a lack of trust can present many problems for agents. In VIP protection in South Africa, if the client does not trust the agent with their life then cooperation is immediately hindered and the task of securing the client's safety becomes more difficult. Trust is also easily gained and lost, so we try to encourage empathetic relationships between our clients and designated agents in order to strengthen and maintain "real and accountable" trust.
Increased Awareness
Although our VIP protection agents in South Africa are all highly trained in keen sense and awareness, we believe that it can only help for our clients to receive basic awareness training too. Identifying potential threats before they happen is sometimes all it takes to completely avoid and / or neutralise them. Furthermore, there certainly will be times where our clients may choose to be alone or are compelled to be alone. Our important clients know that their life is constantly under potential threat and many actually seek a little bit of extra training when acquiring VIP protection in South Africa. This is certainly helpful in the event of an unforeseen occurrence.
If you need information on services relating to VIP protection in South Africa, don't hesitate to visit our website at www.BodyguardServices.co.za or contact us directly on email@example.com.

Greg's Botanicals is a family owned business, where we put people over profits. We have one EXCLUSIVE farmer who provides ALL our kratom products. We deal with the best CBD distributors in the US to ensure our customers get the best possible products. If you have any questions, please contact us for more information.
In certain South East Asian countries including Malaysia and Thailand, a certain tree is very abundant and has always been available. The Kratom tree also known as "Thom" or "Ketum" is a tall tree that belongs to the Rubiaciae family. The kratom tree has dark green, oval shape leaves with clustered yellow flowers. The leaves of the kratom tree are used by traditional cultures such as Malaysians and Thai for medicinal purposes for over centuries now. Mitragyna speciosa, kratom's scientific name was given by a Dutch botanist Pieter Korthals.
Kratom contains alkaloids that said to have effects on the brain. Native regions in South East Asia use the leaves of kratom in treating diarrhea. The leaves were boiled and served as a tea. Fresh leaves also are use as smoking and chewing substances. Due to the alkaloid contents of the kratom, special attention is being given to the studies for further development and knowledge about the kratom. Although there is no clear explanation on how the alkaloids on the kratom work, they were proven to be effective stimulants and depressants. Some natives used the kratom as sexual enhancers, improving their sexual activity and intercourse. When it comes to drug dependence and addiction, kratom is use in the rehabilitation process of patients suffering from opiates dependence. Withdrawal symptoms from opiates are very dangerous and due to the similarities of the effects of kratom to opiates and with a safer and milder withdrawal symptom from the leaves, kratom is use as an opiate alternative. Studies proven that it can also enhance one's sleep and it can calm the mind. Shamans and folks of old times used kratom for a very long time without any record of adverse effects. But in recent studies, it was proven that kratom has the capacity to be abused. In certain countries such as Canada, kratom is being studied and still on the process of regulation. Ancient texts and records are not that available about kratom making kratom a sort of "exotic" tree.
The Mitragyna speciosa or kratom trees grow as tall as 12-30 feet and 15 ft wide. Its dark green colored leaves can grow up to 7 inches long and 4 inches wide. All through out its flowering stage, the growing florets are completely surrounded and covered by copious overlapping bracteoles. The leaves fall or grow depending on the season. During rainy season, the leaves grow abundantly while in dry season, the leaves fall.

Fear holds a lot of people back. Not only in life, but also in quilting. Fear of a new technique, fear of messing up, fear of being less than perfect, even fear of not being liked (the work, that is). I'm here to tell you to stop being afraid.
(I feel evangelical just typing that. Maybe I should be on a stage with a tiny microphone on my face and gesticulating calmly as I speak. You know, projecting a voice of inspired energy and turning you over to my side?)
This is a bee block. Just a simple wonky star with a twist was requested. I can get those directions, play around with the fabric given, and come up with something a bit different from the typical stars seen out there. For another person, those directions can simply stop them in their tracks. For one, saying wonky paralyses many. Must have a straight lines... And two, this begs for improvisation. Must have a pattern... Finally, what if the recipient doesn't like what I do?
For a long time I didn't understand these fears. In my case it was because I happen to like a challenge and actually sewing that way. But then people asked me to sew very precise things in their bees, with very specific instructions. Definitely not my go-to-choice for a project. But I'd made the commitment to the bee and my fellow participants. And I wasn't afraid so much as less than excited. But it's one block, what's the big deal?
But one block can be a big deal to a beginner, or to someone whose never made a triangle or not worked with a pattern. I don't want it to be a big deal though. I want people to look past those fears and relish the challenge. Why not try something new? Do you want to make log cabins or simple patchwork for the rest of your life?
Okay, maybe you do. Maybe you would be really happy churning out those quilts. And that's fine. But then stay away from on-line bees and expect other people to get bored with your work if you choose to share it with a very public audience. That's all good if you are happy doing what you are doing.
Looking for more, though? Feeling inspired by all you see on-line or at guild? Then it is time to set aside some fear. Here are some tips to get you moving past the fear:
- Join an on-line bee. This will force you to try new techniques and meet other quilters. Alternatively, join a round robin or guild bee.
- Play. You can just sew for the sake of sewing, it doesn't have to turn into anything.
- Don't blog about it. If you are worried about what people think, then don't share it.
- Blog about it. Push yourself to put it out there, flaws (perceived or real) and all.
- When in doubt about that one fabric, include it. If it still niggles at you once you've used it, then take it out. It is only fabric.
- Ask for help. Whether from an in-person friend or by posting on-line, seek input from others (like we did with the Workshop in Progress).
- Challenge yourself. Set up regular goals to try new techniques or colours.
- Stop reading blogs and books for a little while. It can be demoralizing for many to see so much inspiring work. That is, we think we can't be good enough or think it is beyond us. So take a little retreat for yourself and turn off the computer and stay away from the stack of books. Fondle your fabric and sew for yourself.
- Colour. Stuck when it comes to fabric? Then pull out the crayons, markers, or pencils and just colour. Even if it is just a colouring book, go for it. Give people blue skin, colour the trees purple, or make polka-dotted dogs.
Keep in mind that if you are stuck there is no need to make an entire quilt to move past the fear. Make one block, just play for a bit. This reduces the commitment and moves your forward one step, one block at a time.
What other tips do you have for facing the fear?

My friend and mentor Vin Crosbie, a digital media consultant, writes those amusing words over at his blog explaining why he is bothering to do a "brain dump" and tell the world what he thinks even though he's a consultant and could presumably charge for the knowledge. And his knowledge on this day goes to how newspapers can double their digital revenue percentage from 5% to 10%: by cutting their print intake in half. Ouch.
Vin's preparing an essay that's turned into a 20,000 word "treatise" on the state of the newspaper industry. Notwistanding my previous post, I think he'll say something that's a little bit more glum than the E&P article saying print isn't dead.

Cobute has worked with Big Ben Construction at Clara Anna Fontein, the exclusive lifestyle estate located close to Durbanville for the construction of a private house. In line with the Architect's modern design, we supplied our shutters not only to create a sound structure, but also to mimimise the installation time on site. This residential dwelling features an integrated structure with the Cobute precast slab and beams, used to create cantilever slabs at different levels.
Cobute supplied 207 sqm of its precast shutters for slab (H250mm), supported by 248 sqm of flat beams, cast at the factory without the panels. Upstanding beams were also supplied for 40sqm.
The slab span varied from 4 to 7m, using multiple ribs bearing on hot deep galvanized steel posts to give a modern look.
This project re-confirmed Cobute's commitment to structural solutions that can customised to the specifications and needs of specific customers.

Hogg's Back (1975)
Share on
Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Derek Royle starred in this British children's sitcom as Dr. Hogg, a supremely incompetent general practioner serving the community of Belling-on-Sea. The absent-minded, slapstick-prone Hogg was aided and abetted by nurse Pearl, originally played by Jacki Piper, then by Wendy Richard (who was at the time pulling double duty on the nighttime comedy series Are You Being Served). Nineteen half-hour episodes were produced in all. Hogg's Back was beamed out by Britain's Southern Television from 1975 to 1976.

Administrative history
The International Grenfell Association (IGA), a non-profit, philanthropic organization, was established as the coordinating agency for four regional associations which supported the medical, religious and social initiatives of the Grenfell Mission in northern Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as on the southern coast of the Canadian Labrador. The IGA was incorporated on 10 January 1914, but the association originated in the initiatives of physician and surgeon Wilfred Thomason Grenfell (1865-1940), to secure adequate medical care and improved social conditions in the region.
In 1892, Grenfell, a medical missionary with the National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen (NMDSF) - a British evangelical Christian charity ministering to British offshore fishermen - visited northern Newfoundland and coastal Labrador to investigate reports of inadequate medical services for the thousands of migratory fishermen who went annually to the coast of Labrador from the island of Newfoundland, as well as the settlers (livyers) in Labrador. Perceiving an urgent need to provide improved medical assistance, Grenfell returned in 1893 with two nurses and two doctors, under the auspices of the NMDSF, determined to establish a system of medical care for northern Newfoundland and Labrador.
Grenfell established small hospitals at Battle Harbour (1893) and Indian Harbour (1894), and a secured a hospital ship which undertook summer visits along the Labrador coast. Grenfell and his associates (commonly termed the Grenfell Mission) also became involved in efforts to improve social welfare and to promote social and economic development. The mission built an orphanage, established boarding schools, and introduced industrial arts training (including rug hooking, weaving, carving, leather work and toy making) with the help of qualified volunteers (called "workers without pay" or "wops"). Grenfell personally encouraged the establishment of cooperatives, the first of which was founded in Red Bay in 1896. Other experiments included agricultural programs, the introduction of domesticated reindeer, and the promotion of tourism.
Associations were established in Newfoundland, Canada, the United States and Great Britain to support Grenfell's work, which, by 1914, had become a diverse philanthropic movement. This movement was created mainly by the energetic and charismatic Grenfell who divided his time between active missionary work and lecture tours to raise funds for his activities, particularly in the United States and Canada.
Initially, the IGA represented the Grenfell Association of Newfoundland (est. 1899, St. John's); the Grenfell Association of New England (est. 1904, Boston); the Grenfell Association of America (est. 1907, New York); and the Grenfell Labrador Medical Association (est. 1909, Ottawa). The IGA later included representatives from the Grenfell Association of Great Britain and Ireland (est. 1927, London) and the Grenfell Labrador Industries (incorporated 1934-5).
The IGA hired staff, recruited volunteers and allocated funds for mission projects and operations. It relied on the other support bodies and Grenfell's own fund-raising efforts (lectures and publications) for most of its finances. When Grenfell resigned from active direction (1936), retaining only the honorary title Superintendent, the IGA restructured. By then the IGA owned two hospital ships, six hospitals, seven nursing clinics and four boarding schools, and operated the King George V Seamen's Institute in St. John's. At St. Anthony, the headquarters of the medical mission since 1899, the IGA established farms, greenhouses, ship repair facilities and a machine shop as well as a hospital, an orphanage and a boarding school. The IGA also sustained industrial arts industries in many communities. The association had a permanent staff of over 50 paid employees, but much of the mission work was done by volunteers from Canada, the United States, Britain and Newfoundland.
Following the completion of a consultant's report (Tamblyn Brown, 1938) on its operations, the IGA was reorganized. Further changes were implemented after the death of Grenfell (1940), in response to health care developments during World War II and in Newfoundland both before and following confederation with Canada (1949). Most importantly, other agencies, especially government, became increasingly involved in providing medical and social services in the regions formerly served only by the Association. In 1978, the business offices of the IGA were moved from Ottawa to St. Anthony.
The IGA continued to be the main agency responsible for health care in northern Newfoundland and Labrador and to operate the other projects initiated by Grenfell until 1981. That year, the Grenfell Regional Health Services Board was created which effectively transferred the provision of medical services and its facilities from the IGA to a provincial authority under the Department of Health. The IGA ceased to be a governing body.
The IGA, now based in St. John's, has become a charitable foundation in support of various medical, educational and community projects in northern Newfoundland and Labrador. Its funding sources include endowment funds from the regional Grenfell associations in New York, Boston and London. The Board of Directors include representatives from the regional associations, as well as two nominees from Memorial University of Newfoundland.

Dogs do the catwalk
Emma O'Brien is helping homeless mutts put their best paws forward. The dogs line up, tails wagging and tongues lolling, ready to have their pictures taken. A professional portrait photographer, O'Brien turned her camera on unwanted canines in the midst of a troubled marriage. Finding one's passion in life isn't easy, but O'Brien discovered a way to combine two of hers, giving shelter dogs a second chance in the process.
"They are so special," O'Brien says. "I have met some of the most delightful creatures." Her dog portraits are not just about the cute factor. O'Brien takes photographs of shelter dogs outside of their often depressing environments, bringing their personalities to life to encourage people to adopt them and provide them with new lives. "I want to use the universal language of photography to help rehome unwanted pets," she says. "It is really heartwarming to see a dog that I photographed going to a new home." In 2017 O'Brien self-published her first book, Mutts, a series of photos and stories of rescue dogs and their new homes. With the book, she hoped to reduce the stigma around mixed-breed dogs, who are more likely to be put down than pedigrees. The proceeds from the book go towards the Sandton SPCA and Community Led Animal Welfare (CLAW), two organisations close to O'Brien's heart.
But O'Brien doesn't just photograph shelter dogs. She also does family portraits (pets included), newborn shoots (some dogs do make an appearance), and personal branding (no dogs – yet). Her career has spanned over a decade, and she moved to South Africa from the United Kingdom in 2009. O'Brien has won awards for her work, including a prize for her pet photography from the Tokyo International Foto Awards. But recognition is not what O'Brien wants. "I hope that my images inspire South Africans to adopt a dog from a shelter rather than buying one," she says. After all, everyone deserves to live in a loving home.

I was, as always, nervous before a sketch show, standing backstage in the P-Dogs theater. But then, I heard it. One very loud, "a-ha!" You see, I know that laugh. This laugh belonged to Houston Hardaway, my former improv classmate and troupemate. Hearing it immediately calmed my nerves.
That's the weird thing about Dallas Comedy House. You get to know people's laughs, which feels like a very intimate thing! You can hear Mike Ruckus chortle from the front row, Amanda's laugh from the back, Jade laughing at a pun and saying "what." It becomes a secret language across the theater, a warm blanket when you're having a rough show or you're trying a new thing.
So, I asked some of my favorite laughers around the theater about laughter. Melanie Gotz, warm laugh, the aforementioned Houston Hardaway, Emily Gee's bubbling laugh, Cesar Villa's truly tickled laugh, John Sprigg's giggle.
What's guaranteed to make you laugh in an improv show?
Houston Hardaway: Physical Comedy
Emily Gee: When anyone just leaves a scene and slams the door (sorry door), it kills me. Raye Maddox once circled around the Tharp door, over and over again and I lost my shiz.
Cesar Villa: Because I'm so challenged by accents, when someone starts a scene with an accent and then realize they can't sustain it or get called out on it when it changes. "Wait, why are you Australian now?"
Melanie Gotz: When I get to see people out of character because they made a real life oopsie and had a real life reaction to their oopsie - it's usually when you get to see someone's true self and it's beautiful and I love it.
John Spriggs: Hands down, I laugh anytime it looks like they're having fun on stage. I love when I can tell teams have real love for each other. Also, whenever Mike Maiella suppresses a smile during a scene, it hits me deep in my soul and I can't help but laugh.
What's guaranteed to make you laugh in regular life?
HH: People trying not to laugh and failing
EG: Anyone tripping, slipping or falling will always make me laugh. I know it's not really the POLITE thing, but My mom tripped a lot when I was growing up on purpose and sometimes (mostly) accidentally just to make us laugh.
CV: When I trip or bump into something and I try to play it off like absolutely nothing happened I laugh at how ridiculous it is to hide it. Sometimes I'll laugh with whoever saw me and sometimes just at myself
MG: The work frick makes me laugh. Uhhh people dancing where there's not supposed to be dancing and then other people joining in.
JS: Probably something someone does unintentionally. For instance, I worked with a guy who would shake his foot anytime we drove around together. He would shake it so much it would build up momnetum and cause rhe whole truck to rock back and forth.
Do you have a favorite DCH laugh?
HH: If I had to name one, it would be Raye's. So warm and full of personality.
EG: This is cliche, but I love Cody's laugh. I'd recognize it in a stadium crowd.
CV: Chad Haught. If I here him laugh I automatically picture him standing in the back of the room elbowing the person next to him and motioning to the stage, "you see that?"
MG: Jade Smith and Danielle Seright's laughs always give me hope and joy
JS: My favorite DCH laugh is Tyler Simpson. It's so infectious. It reminds me of my Dad's laugh, actually. Make of that what you will.

Stereogum and team9 have been releasing 'year-in-review' mash-ups for the past four years. These mixtapes take 10-15 of the years most popular or hyped songs and mash them up. Each year has been consistantly good and this year doesn't disappoint. This year's release includes Bat for Lashes, vs. The Doors, Phoenix vs. The Cure, Neon Indian vs. The Pixes, Taylor Swift vs. U2 and others. Mash-ups are mash-ups and they never amount to anything amazing or groundbreaking (except for some of the stuff Girl Talk does), but when they are good, they are a lot of fun…and most of the time they are free. This one is free. Download it via Stereogum below.

text: The sublime beauty of desolation Throughout my years as a traveler, I have discovered, especially since I began to travel by bicycle, that the essence of a country and a culture lies in that delicate transition that occurs between its the renowned points of interest. Over time, I have lost almost total interest, at least when it comes to traveling properly, in visiting tourist attractions, because in them I have seen over and over again that the essence of the local culture is diluted in the perverse play of the greed and the commercialization of beauty. The result is to be found in places that, although they originally treasure an exquisite beauty, the whole structure that has developed around them makes them very difficult to enjoy in a fairly pure state. Having said this, there are famous attractions that given their nature are easier to tolerate and many times it is even possible to enjoy them. It is in Namibia also where I found one of these: Sossusvlei, the country's number one attraction and certainly one of the most beautiful places I have seen in the world as far as tourist traps are concerned. There we arrived with Niel after several days of crossing impossible roads with few people, little food, and little water, through which no one around here ventures without a 4x4. Sossusvlei is a protected reserve in the heart of the Namib desert, the oldest in the world, where from the utter desolation the most sublime beauty has emerged. It is a space without time, visually static; in it, the world seems to have said: enough! and decided to stop forever. The silence is absolute when the golden sun begins rise revealing the sensual undulations of the orange dunes. They connect each other through a fine line that delineates the division between sun and shade. The views are simply memorable. Nested among this ocean of dunes is Deadvlei, a flat patch of hard white clay, perpetually cracked by the lack of water. At some distant time, it used to be a fertile swamp where the water flowed to hydrate its lush vegetation until the geological changes of the planet left it without it. The rigor of an extremely dry climate deprived every living thing of the humidity necessary for the microorganisms that normally devour the vegetation to thrive. The result is this surrealistic still life spectacle. Deadvlei is an immortal courtyard in this desert, a museum of outdoor sculptures; and its 900-year-old trees have been embalmed by nature to perpetuate its existence. Deadvlei is a natural art space that changes its look dramatically with the passing of the hours. Light transforms its reality to turn it unreal. Going up and down the dunes changes the shapes we see altering our perception of space. In this way, at times it can be an impressionist space while in others becomes expressionist. Sometimes it is definitely surrealistic but other times it is definitely cubist, and at any point, all variations can derive in the purest abstraction. Whatever visual interpretation we make of it, this is where nature produces art. After Sossusvlei, we have a few more days of desert ahead. We are past the hardest stretch though. Now there are more corrugations along the way, but at least there are fewer sandpits and we don't have to get off the bikes and push every few kilometers. Loneliness, however, is perpetuated, this country seems even less populated than Mongolia. From dawn til dusk, the heat is moderate now in winter, but still, the sun does not forgive and the clouds seem to have migrated from here a long ago because they are sure to find a better life in the tropics. As much as I hate humidity, I am now starting to miss it when I can no longer stand on my feet due to all the deep cuts on the skin of my heels that have cracked open result of this extremely dry climate. Similarly, the slits in the lips no longer let me smile without hurting and my nose bleeds for every stone-like booger I need to take out in order to breathe properly. It is during the nights, these supernatural nights of the Namib, where I find the reward for all efforts. It's been almost two weeks and 1000 km across the Namib desert. In it I have seen my spirit transforming itself. I have risen from the ashes and reconnected with myself. I have also made a great friend that I met on the road, Niel, with whom I have not only shared these great moments of beauty and harshness in absolute desolation, but also the moments of meditation that we both share as practicing Buddhists. I certainly will not forget the Namib, it is a very significant point in this trip for me and a new desert that I have crossed and fell in love with. In Windhoek ends the first stage of my ride across Namibia, which has been very hard and yet it cannot even be compared to the one I have planned ahead. It is time to take advantage of the comfort of this quiet city to rest, eat well, share life with other travelers in the busy Chameleon hostel and have the opportunity to socialize in a country, where outside its capital, there is almost no one to talk to. Above all, it is time to sort out one the most difficult obstacles of any trip across the western half of Africa, the Angolan visa.

Hugh Jackman takes over commentary duty during Ashes Test. Watch video
Australian actor Hugh Jackman did cricket commentary for a short duration on the first day of Boxing Day Test between Australia and England on Tuesday.cricket Updated: Dec 27, 2017 13:10 IST
Celebrated actor Hugh Jackman, who is famous for playing Wolverine in the X-Men movie series, enthralled cricket lovers with his commentary skills on the opening day of the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. The 49-year old Australian star joined host broadcasters in the commentary box for a short duration on the first day of ongoing fourth Ashes Test between Australia and England at the MCG. (Ashes 4th Test Day 2 SCORECARD)
Jackman, whose love for cricket is well known, underlined his knowledge of the game by providing a lucid description of the on-field events.
Jackman's commentary stint earned him appreciation from cricket lovers as they took to social media to display their love for the versatile actor. Some termed the Hollywood great a better commentator than some of the present day commentators, while some even went on to urge him to take up a job in cricket broadcasting after retiring from films.
Just when you think Hugh Jackman can't be any more annoyingly good at stuff, turns out he's a better than average cricket commentator. #ashes— Dominic Hughes (@dom_hughes) December 26, 2017
Seems fair that if Hugh Jackman is in the box then Bill Lawry is in the next Wolverine. #ashes— adam rozenbachs (@arozenbachs) December 26, 2017
This is not the first time that Jackman has been a part of a broadcasting event in cricket. During the 2010 Ashes, he was filmed facing six balls from former Australian spinner Shane Warne.
Hugh Jackman will next be seen in American period musical drama film 'The Greatest Showman', which is set to be released in India this Friday.

World title challenger Mark Prince suffered only one loss in the ring as a professional boxer. But it was the heartbreaking loss of his son that left him lying on the canvas and struggling to get back up. This is a story of pain and hope. A story of fighting to save young lives...
On the 18th of May, 2006, Kiyan Prince, a 15-year-old football prodigy at QPR's academy, was stabbed to death outside his school in north London trying to prevent another boy from being bullied.
Driven by his son's murder, Mark set up the Kiyan Prince Foundation in 2008, and has since been on a mission to save lives and avoid other parents experiencing this devastation. He now devotes his time to mentoring and educating youths in schools, colleges and prisons. His selfless pursuit of reducing knife crime has made him a celebrated figure. From 10 Downing Street, to winning a host of national awards. Despite the tragedy leading to a change in government legislation, a knife crime now takes place somewhere in England and Wales every 14 minutes on average.

France is a country known for its savory cuisine and fine wine. Despite its rich fare, it is also known for being a nation where very few people suffer from obesity. With that in mind, France's government wants to lower its obesity rate even further by banning refills in restaurants that sell soda. This latest ban joins other regulations that are designed to keep France's population fit, healthy, and trim.
France's Movements to Prevent Obesity
Only about 15 percent of France's population suffers from obesity. Still, that rate is high enough to cause the government alarm and advocate for measures to lower it even more. The latest move the country has taken involves banning soda refills in restaurants. People who buy soda in these venues are only allowed one serving apiece.
Along with banning soda refills, the government of the hexagon has also limited schools in how often they can serve fries. Schools in France are only permitted to serve French fries to students once a week. The other four days must feature meals with healthier side options like fruits and vegetables.
France is not alone in its effort to keep obesity rates low. Mexico has implemented a 10 percent tax on sugary sodas. In Japan, citizens must tolerate their waists being measured by government authorities on a regular basis. Government officials throughout Japan must also encourage people to exercise and eat low-fat diets.
Some of the people living in these countries do not agree with the government interfering in their personal lives. They say that the authorities have no business telling them what foods they can and cannot eat or buy. Likewise, they say that everyone should have personal accountability for their lifestyle choices.
Government officials disagree. They say that personal accountability leads to obesity rates like those seen in the U.S. Over 36 percent of Americans are obese. The rates in the U.S. also show no prospects of lowering anytime soon.
American Efforts to Curb Obesity
Despite over three in ten Americans being obese, U.S. doctors and scientists continue to find new ways to fight this public health crisis. New York City's mayor proposed limiting the size of sodas that can be sold in city limits. The city's health board backed his move; however, it was voted down by citizens who argue that the city has no business telling them how to eat.
Former First Lady, Michelle Obama, also tried to help by creating a new public school lunch program. The program serves more fruits and vegetables while cutting back on carbohydrates and sugars. The initiative has been met with widespread criticism and expense. Many school districts report that students refuse to eat the food served to them.
Universities, hospitals, and other public entities also continue to push for people to make better dietary and fitness choices. Public awareness campaigns regularly air on TV and the radio, encouraging people to exercise more, cut back on sugar and fat, and eat plenty of whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables. Thus far, the efforts have been minimally successful. The obesity rate has shown no promise of lowering in the U.S. Still, scientists and doctors are hopeful that their efforts will pay off in time.
Obesity is a worldwide epidemic that plagues countries like the U.S. and Malta and, on a lesser scale, nations like Japan and France. Some governments feel like it is their duty to restrict what kinds of foods people can buy in public. Others feel like people should be accountable for themselves. Most agree that obesity takes a negative toll on a country's resources and morale, and should be addressed accordingly.

The core WordPerfect word processor, once a ubiquitous MS-DOS application, foundered in its Microsoft Windows transition. Users drifted away from the performance problems, bloated code and poor management that were the suite's hallmarks under the control of WordPerfect Corp. and then Novell Inc.
After Corel acquired the word processor along with Borland International Inc.'s Quattro Pro spreadsheet and Paradox database manager, WordPerfect began to have the makings of a good suite. But only in WordPerfect Suite 8 does everything jell.
As tested in the GCN Lab, the suite did not include its new personal information manager, Corel Central. A coupon for the PIM, due this fall, comes with the package.
WordPerfect Suite 8 has a smaller footprint and substantial performance enhancements over its predecessors. The applications are better integrated than those in Microsoft Office and about equal to those of Lotus Development Corp.'s SmartSuite 97.
The GCN Lab tested the second and third beta releases and the production release. Throughout, the software was stable, without a single system crash from beta code. The lab ran the suite under Windows 95 on a Hewlett-Packard Co. Vectra VL 166-MHz Pentium with 32M RAM.
Besides WordPerfect 8, Quattro Pro 8, Presentations 8 and Corel Central, the suite has the Corel Barista Java publishing tool, 1,000 fonts, 10,000 clip-art images and 200 digital photo images. Also on the CD-ROM is the WordPerfect Suite Software Developer Kit.
Minimal installation takes about 50M on the hard drive, and it can spiral upward to as much as 120M. But that's slim considering the punch the suite packs.
Corel designed the product to take advantage of Pentium MMX processors. On MMX PCs, the applications blaze through formerly daunting tasks, especially Presentations 8 programs.
Like Microsoft Office, WordPerfect has an agent to access help information. Unlike Office's animated Office Assistants, Corel's PerfectExpert shows up in a menulike frame next to your work area. The information is context-sensitive to what you're doing.
PerfectExpert may not be as cute as the Office cartoon agent icons, but it's superior in help capability. For example, it can guide you through cross-application tasks such as time management or filling out business forms.
Several small tools round out the suite. Envoy 7 Viewer reads documents created in the Envoy 7 distributed document program that will ship with the as-yet unreleased WordPerfect Suite 8 Professional. Versions, an archiving tool, tracks different versions of documents. Photo House 1.1, a photo-editing tool, does touch-ups and special effects.
Of course, no suite would be complete without a customizable program launcher. Corel's utility is called the Desktop Application Director, or DAD.
The documentation, like the suite, is more task-oriented than program-centric-thank goodness. You'll even find a clip-art guide with full-color examples of all the visual objects on the program CD.
This package will appeal to users who do desktop publishing. For World Wide Web publishers, however, I recommend waiting for the Professional edition, which will include Corel Web.Site.Builder software. Users looking for a database manager also will have to wait for the Professional edition's Paradox 8.
It's a mystery why Microsoft and Corel don't seem to think buyers of standard suites want some type of database program. Lotus includes its Approach database manager in the standard SmartSuite 97.
WordPerfect 8 is more comfortable with Windows than any previous version of the word processor, not only in the interface but also in the way it performs. It looks very similar to Microsoft Word, but you can customize the interface and menus to resemble the earlier WordPerfect versions if you want to keep them familiar to users of the earlier releases.
Internet access is simple and intuitive. Tasks such as embedding a Java applet into a document are easy. Users who often publish documents with images will appreciate the new drawing layer, which gives better control of images and drawings independent of text. Table support also is better.
I've used WordPerfect 8 to create everything from simple correspondence to complex text-and-image documents and Web pages. It is equal or superior to Microsoft Word in almost every aspect.
Quattro Pro still stands in the shadow of Microsoft Excel and Lotus 1-2-3 for ease of use and features, but the gap has narrowed in Version 8. Many of its formatting features, though well-executed, have been around in other programs for a while.
Its integration with the rest of the suite is exemplary. Quattro Pro has ample power for most users, and the PerfectExpert gives guidance through more than 100 spreadsheet tasks.
Presentations 8 best demonstrates Corel's re-engineering effort. It's up to par with Microsoft PowerPoint or Lotus Freelance. Not only is there a wealth of clip art, templates, borders and fonts, the quality of some of the objects is far beyond anything in the other suites.
Presentation's shows run smoothly with graceful transition effects. Individual pages and whole slide shows can be posted to the Web.
In this version, WordPerfect Suite 8 is better as a whole and better in the individual applications. Corel has created a bundle that really can compete with other popular suites.

Carers in Employment
28 June 2018
Carers In Employment
There are more than three million people who currently have work and family caring responsibilities within the UK. It is approximated that 1 in 9 of a workforce in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire has unpaid caring responsibilities at any one time. Giving them support to manage unpaid caring alongside their paid work would benefit them, their families and their employer. This work results in British businesses and the UK economy potentially saving up to £1.3 billion a year. (www.gov.uk)
DCA have teamed up with The University of Derby, Learn Direct and the Chamber of Commerce and other major employers and SME's to help small and medium enterprises support the Carers employed by them.
Supporting Carers in Employment will help valued, trained team members to continue in employment and achieve a realistic work/life balance.
To discover more and understand how small measures can make a big difference we are inviting employers to join us at our free, "Carers in Employment" Launch Event on 12th July 2018. Places are limited to two representatives per organisation to ensure as many employers can benefit from this exciting and valuable event.
This event will combine guest speakers to share local and national knowledge as well as local research projects from the University of Derby. Employers will be invited to sign a pledge to show their commitment to Carers within their service.
Employers who sign the Pledge will benefit from free training, resources and ongoing support from DCA. Areas of support will be, but not limited to new company policy covering the new rights for Carers in employment, working and caring and support available within the wider community for Carers.
Scott Knowles, Chief Executive, East Midlands Chamber
"Where possible, carers should be encouraged to remain in work and encouraged to progress their careers.
Employers should be encouraged to develop flexibility to ensure carers can care and still be valued in their workplace. That is what Carers in Employment is trying to achieve and that is why the Chamber is happy to support it".
"The majority of carers are of working age and the peak age for caring (50 – 64) often coincides with the peak of an individual's career. One in five people in this age bracket are carers, including one in four women and one in six men". (Census, 2011)"
Narinder Sharma, Chief Executive, DCA
"We are delighted that the Local Enterprise Partnership is making a commitment to workers who are bearing the strain of caring for a loved one. We will help local employers help their employees. It makes business sense for employers to retain their most skilled workers who are juggling with caring issues and work".

New Learning Disability's Forum
27 June 2018
Peter Dawson, DCA's Learning Disability Engagement Worker together with Tanya Nolan of Healthwatch Derbyshire, will be launching a new "pilot" forum for carers and people with a learning disability in Erewash.
This forum will be called "The Independent Living Action Group" and will give carers and people with a learning disability the opportunity to identify and discuss issues related to any aspect of independent living.
The purpose of the form will be to celebrate and develop good practice as well as finding solutions to problems.
The first meeting will on Friday 3rd August in the conference room at 99 Briar Gate, Long Eaton, NG10 4BQ from 11 am – 12.30 pm.
Carers and people with learning disabilities experiencing independent living themselves are very welcome. We hope the forum will be on a quarterly basis and the first meeting will agree the agenda for the following one which we hope will be in the Autumn.

Young Carers University Trip
01 June 2018
Earlier this week the Young Carers we support went on a day trip to Nottingham University.
The purpose of the trip was to show them what the University has to offer them.
The trip was also a chance for the University to explain to the Young Carers how they will be supported as Carers if they choose to go to University.

It was 2 a.m. when Danielle Piergallini composed an email to classmates at Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Management announcing she was transgender. She had spent her first semester in the M.B.A. program presenting as male and worried what kind of response she would get after she clicked "send."
Students and professors had a swagger about them, a kind of "bravado," she said, and at times it felt unfriendly. (Owen is 70 percent male; only 1 percent reported being L.G.B.T.Q. — lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer — in a survey last year at top business schools.)
"There were moments in the first semester when I wondered if I made a mistake," she said. "Going into the type of male-dominated culture that is business school doesn't necessarily send a positive signal to someone who wants to transition."
So she was surprised when emails of support spilled into her inbox right away. Soon after, an administrator helped her figure out how to change her name in school records.
To help spread information, Ms. Piergallini blogs and makes YouTube videos about life as a transgender woman. But she scrubbed her name from posts when she started to interview for jobs to avoid discrimination. In fact, gender didn't come up, though she gave her male name on background-check forms.
Ms. Piergallini had hoped her academic credentials would land her a top role in a company with health insurance that covers sex reassignment surgery, and it did. American Airlines, where she is a senior analyst in business strategy, has employment protections and trans-inclusive health benefits. (She came out to her manager her second month on the job.)
"Discrimination against trans people is there," Ms. Piergallini said, "but having an M.B.A. and having a good one helps you avoid a lot of those barriers and obstacles."
Elite business schools have reputations as conservative, buttoned-up corners of college campuses, as bastions of male dominance. Many transgender individuals tend to avoid the business world, and up until a few years ago, there hadn't been openly trans students at many prestigious B-schools, if any. But more schools are stepping up, and a few transgender students have come out. The shift is important, advocates say, because the more exposure that future business leaders have to the issues, the better they will understand future trans co-workers.
The portion of Fortune 500 companies that include gender identity in their nondiscrimination policies increased from 25 percent to 61 percent between 2008 and 2014, according to the Human Rights Campaign, a national advocacy group.
Marnie Florin, who identifies as gender neutral and goes by the pronoun "ze," organized a trans training program at Columbia Business School last year after meeting an incoming transgender student. About 200 students and staff members packed the school's largest classroom for a presentation on terminology and pronouns.
"I wanted to educate people so it wasn't such a black box that they had been too scared to ask questions about," Florin said. "Now they'll act differently in the work environment, and if someone comes out as trans, they'd have a strong ally." The program will be repeated twice a year at Columbia and, Florin hopes, at Google. After graduating with an M.B.A. last year, Florin got a job there as a finance operations analyst.
To Katherine W. Phillips, the business school's senior vice dean, the response to gender issues has been impressive. "What you saw was a bit of a transformation in the school," she said. In September, a newly constructed single-stall restroom opened on the first floor of Uris Hall, with a sign that reads: "All genders welcome." This admissions cycle, the business school also added an option for applicants to identify as transgender.
Florin, who had worked at a nonprofit, talks about arriving at business school without a role model. "I was really disappointed to find that the L.G.B.T. community at Columbia Business School consisted of so many white, cisgender men" (those comfortable in the sex assigned at birth). Few were transgender or lesbian.
The number of business students identifying as L.G.B.T.Q. is about the same as the national average, at 3 percent, according to a 2014 survey at 38 top business schools by Reaching Out M.B.A., or Romba. But unlike the national picture, which is divided evenly between gay men and lesbians, the L.G.B.T.Q. community within business schools is disproportionately male, according to Matt Kidd, executive director of Romba. Of 1,400 students attending its conference and job fair last year, 62 percent identified as gay men and only 14 percent as lesbian.
As for transgender students, said Mr. Kidd, "I can count on one hand every year the number who are out."
A study last year by the Human Rights Campaign showed that, despite a changing social landscape, 53 percent of L.G.B.T. workers hide their sexual orientation or gender identity at work. Nearly 10 percent of respondents said they left a job because they felt unwelcome.
Few out people lead large companies. Timothy D. Cook, Apple's chief executive, came out publicly as homosexual last year. Martine Rothblatt, founder of the publicly traded pharmaceutical company United Therapeutics and the highest-paid female C.E.O. in the country, is a transgender woman.
"Business schools are a pipeline to leadership roles, so if we want to see more out C.E.O.s, we need more out business school students who will stay out as they go into the work force," said Beck Bailey, deputy director of employee engagement at the Human Rights Campaign. Mr. Bailey, a transgender man, earned his M.B.A. last year from the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Though the college is known as a top destination for L.G.B.T. students, he said, the business school "was an island unto itself."
"Business school is a microcosm of corporate America," he said. "Issues of gender fluidity and gender queerness are just really unknown." The administration was supportive but "didn't know what to do" about a student undergoing a transition. They need to understand that many transgender people try to be "stealth," he said, and pass as a man or woman rather than a trans man or trans woman. Some may never pass as the desired gender.
"It doesn't necessarily mean they're ashamed of their identity," said Jillian T. Weiss, a professor of law and society at Ramapo College of New Jersey, who researches gender identity. "But they don't want to experience prejudice. There's so much of it, especially in any business environment. They're trying to succeed in a highly competitive environment and then they have a 100-pound backpack to carry."
Harvard Business School's first openly transgender student, who came out in the news media in 2013, said going public was a challenge — and isolating — because she had to be the face of such a small minority group. Harvard business students are broken into small sections, and "they disperse all the diverse people," she said. "It's impossible for a nonmajority to be the majority. It marginalizes many different groups." She now works and lives in stealth, as a woman.
Dominique, a first-year M.B.A. student at Columbia Business School, has not come out to many classmates, and agreed to be interviewed only if identified by her middle name.
Getting an M.B.A. is a big part of her "career pivot" from the Army to a corporate job, possibly in consulting. She said the business school's inclusive steps made her feel comfortable applying, and friendly admissions officers answered questions about how she should identify on the application (however she wanted). She went with female, and mentioned being transgender in her essay.
She just finished a round of interviews for summer internships, but has not been hired — she suspects because she is transitioning. She is undergoing hormone replacement therapy and hopes to pass as female.
"I just want to go through school as the woman I see myself as," Dominique said. She does not want to be a business-school trailblazer. "You are there to do business, not to be the trans individual."

The Recruiting Hammer
by Rodney in Talent Acquisition
Early in my recruiting career, I was hired onto a team that had a monthly hiring quota of 35 specialized engineers, many of whom had specific government security clearances.Ai?? It was a great team with good leadership, support, and resources which helped us successfully maintain a healthy hiring volume.Ai?? Pretty quickly it became clear why we had the team quota of recruiting 35 engineers a month:Ai?? 35 engineers were leaving the organization every month.Ai?? That theme became a common refrain in my career as a recruiter and managing talent acquisition teams.Ai?? We were often called up to fill the attrition gap for the organization.Ai??Ai?? zyban online The number always varied, but the reason was always the same: X amount of people, who are crucial to driving revenue, are leaving the company every month and we need that many plus Y more a month to grow.Ai?? As an internal employee it was an opportunity to show what you can do, provide innovative solutions to a problem, and build a successful reputation.Ai?? However, I always got the feeling the we were using a hammer to solve a problem that required a scalpel.
Now that Iai??i??m out of the corporate world, Iai??i??d like to provide some unsolicited input for business leaders.Ai?? You are not going to recruit your way out of an attrition problem.Ai?? At best, you are just sticking fingers in the wholes of the proverbial dike.Ai?? Most talent acquisition teams will happily scale up their operation to meet the challenge.Ai?? Many large companies can afford to do exactly that and spend their way out of the attrition problem.Ai?? They simply buy talent in the labor market over time to replace their losses.Ai?? However, having been there before I can tell you the effort can take a year or more (in the case of tight labor markets) and cost millions of dollars.Ai??
In the best situations, the organization throws itself into the attrition problem as a separate issue and works to solve the underlying challenges feeding the flow of talent out of the organization.Ai?? Tablets deltasone online are available in 5 benefits: 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg and 50 mg. When labor markets get competitive even those efforts become a talent management arms race with the cost of retention initiatives climbing into the millions of dollars.Ai?? However, I submit that spending $250,000 keeping people is far better than spending $100,000 hiring new replacements given the time and cost to onboard, lost productivity over 3-6 months, and not having addressed overall attrition causes.Ai?? I try to keep these to less than 500 words, so maybe we can explore those numbers in more detail on a separate post.Ai?? The key is to use a holistic approach that takes advantage of all the assets in your talent management arsenal rather than looking at your talent acquisition department as the bottom line solution.Read more
Iai??i??ve always found it interesting that Iai??i??ve met far more people who rely on their gut instinct or intuition to make hiring decisions rather than hard data (or seeking hard data).Ai??It came to a head for me years ago while I was managing a talent acquisition teamAi??in the corporate environment.Ai??One of the recruiters found an excellent candidate for an engineering position.Ai??During the interview process the candidate revealed a hand injury that was inconsequential to the job, but impacted movement and strength.Ai??After the interview the hiring manager called and said they really liked him and thought he was a strong technical fit, but would have to pass on extending an offer.Ai??A few probing questions revealed that the team got a bad feeling about the candidate because he had a terrible hand shake.Ai??Despite being a fit for the position and an obvious ability to perform, they didnai??i??t think he would fit in based on his hand shake.Ai??It was a cringe-worthy, teachable moment. Storage conditions cheap motilium Store at temperatures between 15 and 30 A� C. In the end he received an offer and became a great contributor to the team.
The intent of this story was not to discourage all use of intuition; but I wanted to point out that it has limits.Ai??Over reliance on intuition in hiring decisions can lead to poor decision making and overlooking otherwise very good candidates.Ai??If your intuition tells you a bad handshake can be interpreted as a personality flaw, I might be talking to you.Ai??Yet, the blame in these situations must fall directly on HR and talent acquisition professionals.Ai??We are the experts and should own the selection process.Ai??This includes ensuring anyone conducting an interview is properly trained and understands how to use probing behavior based questions to collect data.Ai??For example, when an interviewer is concerned about how a candidate will fit within a team, they should have a repertoire of questions to ask and answer data:
- Can you tell me about a time you wished you had acted differently with a coworker?Ai??What happened?
- What has been your approach to integrating with a new team in the past?Ai??Were there any lessons learned you would incorporate in the future?
The list of questions could be endless.Ai??The primary point is that intuition is better utilized when you have actual information to start drawing conclusions.Ai??Whether that data is through interview questions or formal assessments, it is critical that interview teams be trained on how to gather and interpret the information.Read more
My Talent Acquisition Dream
by Rodney in Talent Acquisition
Reflecting on the changes that have occurred over the last 20 years in talent acquisition is a humbling activity. I donai??i??t consider myself to be an old timer by any stretch of the imagination, but I have watched the changes happen and been very happy along the way.Ai?? In the late 90ai??i??s we still had filing cabinets of resumes to flip through if the databases werenai??i??t producing enough, and faxing a resume to a hiring manager was an everyday occurrence. This was in the midst of Monsterai??i??s disruption of the industry through their aggregation of resumes in one place leading to an explosion of resume databases.
As we continued into the new century, cell phones became more common and our ability to communicate started to become a 24/7 affair in conjunction with email. Synthetic analogs deltasone reviews can be used in combination with mineralocorticoids. In the early 2000ai??i??s most of us were still tied to our desktops and bringing home our work every day wasnai??i??t yet prolific. During this time, resume databases started to strangle print ads as companies saw the advantage of online job postings and people stopped reading the paper. Applicant tracking systems were making companies more efficient in their hiring and everyone began to fall in love with Managed Service Provider programs and mark up rate caps in contract labor.
Blackberry had been around for those people who liked to have access to email and the internet 24/7.Ai?? However, the iPhone served as a model of convergence for recruiters, candidates, and hiring managers with essentially everything you need to consume data and communicate in the palm of your hand. Never mind the iPad, which was a performance enhancing drug.
Social networks changed the way we communicate and how we consume information.Ai?? LinkedIn and Facebook gave us digital footprints which could be data mined by savvy sourcers who didnai??i??t need to pay for resume database accesses. Tools began to change to focus on the new way we communicated through social networks and talent acquisition became integrated with the technology.
We are still seeing a proliferation of new tools coming available. It often feels like there is something new on the market to try every month. As I look forward, though, I havenai??i??t seen the technology align much in the area of big data and predictive analytics. I once pleaded with my LinkedIn rep to investigate data mining their network to produce useful insights when I looked at a profile. Obviously, that didnai??i??t go anywhere and I think talent acquisition providers are behind technology curve.
LinkedIn, CareerBuilder, Indeed, etc. have millions of data points for analysis that are not utilized. They could be providing tools for recruiters to make their lives easier and improve decision making. For example, they have enough data points to start correlating and making probability statements on whether a potential candidate will leave their position based on a profile. What is the probability that someone who has worked in a private company for 10 years in X,Y, and Z locations would consider B location in a public company? The data points exist within the confines of their proprietary database to provide that insight. The dozens of questions that recruiters ask themselves when reading a resume can be answered without requiring the need to rely on intuition or opening a new window for research. generic fluoxetine For instance, Iai??i??m looking at a resume that has some gaps or periods of short tenures.Ai?? An overlay of the unemployment rate or sector economic performance would give me data to make an informed decision.Ai?? A direct link to aggregated company news from public sites and search engines would allow me to deep dive further into company performance.
My dream is that someone brings the data under one platform to allow recruiters to make more informed decisions about resumes. Providing a robust level of data analysis and insights will allow recruiters to make reliable decisions and reduce the reliance on intuition and gut feelings when viewing a resume.Ai?? The data is there in droves, but who is going to use it?Read more

BSM Better Security Management
Information security
Better security
Lost USB stick, data loss, but also frustrated employees, stolen laptops and misdirected mail. Leaks in the information security can have far reaching consequences.
Having a good antivirus package, a solid firewall, a strong password, browserlock and security updates is important, but not enough!
By working towards adequate cyber security in addition to the technical aspects it is of importance to focus on organizational, physical and procedural aspects as well. Especially with the clear knowledge that security is as strong as the weakest link!
A common misconception is that the responsibility for this security is with the supplier. However, it is is a professionalism which often is not part of the core business of soft-and hardware suppliers.
We can help you to manage your information security and to be better secure.

The PhD can vary depending on the institution and country in which it is awarded. Most scholars pursue a PhD because of strong motivation to contribute to the academic community as well as true curiosity about their chosen field of study.
For higher education, a master is a great option. Programs can last about two years with a requirement somewhere between 12 and 18 courses at the graduate level. Field of study options may vary widely, allowing students to tailor their education to their needs.

Get a Good Customized Closet
While the space of the houses is finite, the capacity of some to accumulate things, among which I include myself, is far superior to this space. With this premise it is not difficult to see the importance of a good customized closet, or several, if we want the house to remain in order. If what we are looking for is the best solution for this problem, the ideal is to manufacture or make an average closet .
With these we can adapt to the available spaces and take advantage of customized closet to a greater extent; whether they are small spaces for which it is difficult to find options, so wide that they cause holes to be left unused or not regular, such as under a staircase. Design is also an important variable. As consumers, we will always prefer to have a custom wardrobe that fits the aesthetic of our home.
12 Picture Gallery: Get a Good Customized Closet
This first step may seem very obvious, but it is that the possibilities are many and if we are not clear and realistic the result will not be as expected. Observe what you have, the use you are currently giving customized closet and the dead or unused spaces. Now, mentally, add the new elements that you want to incorporate and how you would do it.
