It's time: Trump should declare a national emergency, build the border wall, activate the military police and arrest the deep state traitors
It's time for President Trump to declare a national emergency. This is the first necessary step in defending America against the domestic enemies and enemy combatants operating within. Immediately after declaring a national emergency, President Trump must deploy the United States military to build and man the border wall. (Yes, I said "man.") It's time […]

Prepare for President Trump to call upon American citizens to defend the Republic against the lawless deep state
Even though Robert Mueller is repeatedly indicting former Trump associates for lying to the government — a "process crime" – James Comey just gave testimony to Congress in which he lied hundreds of times. Yet nothing has happened to James Comey (yet). President Trump may soon be indicted for "campaign finance violations," warn lawless Democrats, […]

Robert Mueller is a rogue, lawless CRIMINAL who must be stopped, or the rule of law collapses for all Americans
It has now become abundantly evident that Robert Mueller is a rogue, lawless criminal who uses coercion and intimidation tactics to pressure witnesses into lying so that he can weave a fabricated narrative implicating President Trump in the Russia collusion hoax. It's important to note that Robert Mueller's intimidation tactics are, themselves, felony crimes that […]

Seriously: Why is the DOJ indicting Julian Assange but not Hillary Clinton?
According to the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. Justice Department is about to indict and prosecute Julian Assange, a journalist whose life has already been destroyed through his "imprisonment" in an Ecuadorian embassy for the last six years. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton, a traitorous political mafia boss who sold out America's strategic uranium supply to enemies […]

FBI Director Christopher Wray is LYING to America about the fake pipe bombs: Yes, they were HOAX devices
FBI Director Christopher Wary may be just as dishonest as former FIB director James Comey. (Not a typo.) Suddenly Wray is trying to convince the world that the hoax pipe bomb props which were mailed to Democrats are really, somehow, IEDs (Improved Explosive Devices). In truth, real mail bombs don't contain timers for the simple […]

Fake pipe bomb hoaxer arrested; obvious signs of a CIA false flag operation to shift election narrative to blaming Trump supporters
The alleged fake pipe bomb hoaxer who sent bomb-like hoax props to prominent Democrats, has been identified and arrested. His name is Cesar Sayoc Jr., and he is reportedly a 56-year-old Native American drug dealer, according to media reports. His criminal rap sheet includes possession of illegal steroids "with intent to distribute" as well as […]

Deep state rolls out staged "bomb" attack on CNN headquarters, just as Mike Adams and Alex Jones publicly predicted on multiple video broadcasts
Exactly as publicly predicted by myself and Alex Jones, the anti-American globalists are now running pipe bombs false flags against CNN. This is not merely similar to what we publicly predicted would take place before the mid-term elections; it is exactly what we publicly predicted would take place. We even named CNN as the most […]

Stunning arrest of deep state official reveals how BuzzFeed acts as part of a treasonous criminal enterprise pretending to be engaged in journalism
The criminal arrest of a high-level Treasury Department employee named Natalie Mayflower Sours Edwards leads straight to BuzzFeed, which is a radical left-wing, anti-American propaganda hub pretending to be engaged in journalism. Natalie Edwards reportedly leaked confidential Treasury Department reports to a BuzzFeed reporter in order to embarrass the Trump administration, according to multiple media […]

Today I learned that it not enough to merely attend the breakfast buffet. One must be sure to arrive there before everyone else as well. Failure to do so will result in one being deprived of the good parts. By good parts, I mean bacon. My need for bacon has resulted in me waking up at 6:30 a.m. every morning, an ungodly hour no matter which time zone you're in.
In the afternoon, I visited the Royal Palace and the Grand Hotel today and spent more time than was necessary in both. For the Royal Palace, the reason was that I wanted to get my money's worth as I had purchased the full tour tickets. For the Grand Hotel, the reason was that I needed to satisfy my curiousity that it was indeed too grand for me.
I was too tired to walk to any of my other planned excursions such as the Vasamuseet, the world's largest Ikea, or the Nobel Prize Museum. My chest and throat feels like a mouse went scurrying about in them and left tiny scratches with its paws.
Today I learned that Stockholm is actually composed of islands connected by bridges. Today, I also found Old Town which is a lot like Little Five Points in Atlanta, only blonder.
I am rapidly becoming addicted to European chocolate. Chocolate covered candied orange peel may well be the new crack and I mean that in the most affectionate way possible.
I also get lost everytime I go outside. This doesn't bother me much as I don't really have an agenda and I often have interesting experiences along the way (like explaining to the Swedish Parliament security guards how exactly I found my way into their building).
Tomorrow I leave for Russia and will be there for the next two weeks. I think I can I call my brief time in Scandinavia (one week already?) a success.
Oh, and today for dinner I had buttered salmon with potatoes for 135 kr. I'm beginning to see a pattern here.

Hi everyone!
So, I'm moving to Toronto (i'm going to study massage therapy) and i was wondering is it expensive to be 811 there, is it easy to find fruit? which are the best places? i also found this website the other day does anyone know about it?http://bulkdates.nfshost.com/
I guess that's it for now
Thanks for reading :)

Toronto is not too bad for fruit. You can find ripe boxes of bananas at wholesalers for 10$ although not organic. Regular are 20-30$ for a box of conventional or 30-45$ for organic/fair trade. Chinatown is good for tropical fruits.
How much would these boxes weight generally? do you know where some of the wholesalers are located?
Chinatown has so many kinds of tropical fruits it's great and persimmons started showing up too :)
Thank you!
There is a organic farmer's market near Union subway Station all year long,its located right in front of the Kensigton Market , I am not sure if they open only on saturday or sunday .. Also, I shop a lot in the big carrot located in the greek town near chester subway station :)
Costco i heard that you can get a lot of stuff in bulk just not so sure about fruit...
Costco is alot better then the grocery store, I dont know about bananas but there dates are pretty cheap. I just got my first box of organic bananas from a local market for $25. oh and if i were you i would avoid eating too many carrots because they could cause your skin to turn orange
Thanks! i'll be sure to check that out :), is it too pricey though? (college student on a tight budget..)
Hi, I will be stopping by in Toronto this August. Are there any raw vegan restaurant as well as markets that you would recommend (ideally based in the downtown area)?
Hi :)
I don't know much about the raw vegan restaurants, but the cheapest fruit you can get(at least from my experience) is in Chinatown around Dundas and Spadina. You also have st Lawrence market and kensington market (more expensive) which also has some health food stores with organic produce. This is all in the downtown area...
Hope that helps!

My advice on genetically modified foods is unequivocal—-avoid it!
Despite all the propaganda of the food industry, I do not believe that GM foods are safe to feed ourselves, or our children, and it is unfair to use children in an experiment whose results will only be known in years to come.
The very presence of such food on the shelves of our supermarkets is the result of bad science and bad democracy. To really understand the question of genetically modified foods, we need to take a look at how both science and democracy have been corrupted to allow our food to be manipulated in such a risky way.
Most scientific research on food safety is sponsored by the food industry itself. These scientists scorn the notion that their genetically-engineered foods are unsafe. With condescending smugness, they declare that there is 'not a shred of evidence' to show that GM food is unsafe.
In reply, I say there is 'not a shred of evidence' to prove that genetically modified foods are safe. Science is always incomplete and its conclusions tentative, until the next experiment comes along and overturns them. It is scientifically impossible, at this early stage, to know that genetically modified foods will not have harmful effects on future generations and on the eco-system we will be handing on to our descendants.
Yet, we, the concerned public, are continually bullied by the scientists' mantra of there being 'no evidence that genetically modified foods are unsafe'. It seems to me, that these scientists are deliberately misunderstanding the science of logic, in a cynical, disingenuous way. They are asking us to place blind, unscientific belief in their new-fangled products, as though it were a matter of faith. Yet they would pour contempt on such demands for blind belief if practiced by a witch doctor.
We should not allow these vested-interest 'scientists' override our intuitive wisdom. We should remember that these people are not scientists in the true sense, they are more like spin doctors, or spin-scientists, if you like.
As the question of science and 'scientific proof' becomes increasingly important in debates around food, I believe it is worth taking a closer look at who these scientists are and what type of science they practice—–true science, or false science?
When I think of what a scientist should be, I think of my father, who was a consultant pathologist and later a medical research scientist. His life's work was to find cures for diseases which he once investigated whilst a hospital pathologist.
His metier as a scientist, was to lessen human suffering, not to sell product, like the new generation of scientists. In deference to him, I feel entitled to say what a scientist should be—–what he was. As I know it, a true scientist is on a mission, much like an artist, a quest of truth-seeking, one who embarks on a journey of discovery, whose work is informed by a spirit of open-mined enquiry. A scientist seeks knowledge.
This important question of what a scientist is, was once eloquently addressed by the naturalist Dr Bob Brain, a former director of the Transvaal Museum in Pretoria.
In conversation with Bruce Chatwin, who later quoted him in his book The Songlines, the aptly-monikered Dr Brain, defined the true naturalist (scientist) as "a man who is in love with the world", a person who tries to see things as they really are "without filters".
Dr Brain warned of the dangers of scientists becoming attached to a cause, even if the cause is only a fossil: "To find a beautiful fossil, and then hitch your reputation to it, is no longer to see the fossil."
Bob Brain was described by one of his colleagues as a 'scientist's scientist'—-like my father and his kind, possibly a disappearing breed, outnumbered now by a more scheming, self-interested, ignoble species, the 'corporation's scientist'.
By these parameters, the spin-scientists of today, funded and employed by the business sector, pushing the agendas of the mobile phone industry, the chemicals industry, the food industry in general and the genetically modified foods sector, in particular, are not scientists at all—they are imposters, anti-scientists, seeking to manipulate the truth and to suppress knowledge.
One of the great problems we face as a society, is that the once hallowed halls of knowledge, the great universities of the world, have been infiltrated by corporatism, especially in the science faculties, where almost all scientific research is now funded by industry. As booker prize winning author, John Banville once put it, "the Academy has been sold." So when we are told that genetically modified foods are safe by 'scientists', we should pause for thought and remain vigilantly sceptical.
Next to the problem of 'science', there is the problem of our weakened, corrupted democracies, also 'sold' off to the highest bidders, the political donors and lobbyists. It is anti-democratic that the food industry can lobby and bully and fund its way through our political structures until it gets its own way.
It is wrong that time and again, our political masters cave in to its agenda, which ultimately, is all about profit, at the expense of human health and the health of our eco-system. Yet this is what is happening in relation to E-numbers, agricultural chemicals and now, genetically modified foods. You can sign The Good Food Petition for better regulation of the food industry here.
It is salutary to remember that genetically modified foods were developed by Roundup, the weed-killer people, so they could spray vegetables with massive doses of their poisonous product and the vegetables would not die, only everything around them. Personally, I prefer my vegetables without weed-killer.
I also believe there is another, even more sinister aspect to the issue of GM food, which has been eclipsed by the more obvious concerns above and has come about as a result of bad democracy. This has to do with the ownership of food seeds.
When a GM food is 'developed', under patent law, the company that 'develops' it, is allowed own the genetic copyright for that food. Incredibly, under our legal system, GM companies are allowed claim ownership of the DNA of food they have 'developed', just by mixing up the patterns of DNA which occur in nature and are not owned by anybody!
If you want to understand why the corruption of our political system is such a dangerous thing, this is the reason—-laws are being passed in the corridors of power which are not in the interests of the people. Patent law could just as well have been written to outlaw the ownership of juggled-up DNA, but it wasn't, because that was not what the GM companies wanted!
This scenario now poses a serious danger to all of humanity, because when a company owns the DNA of a food, no farmer can grow that food, without being licensed to do so by the owner and paying the owner for those seeds. This is a frightening prospect, because unless it is stopped in its tracks, there will come a time when the GM business will have expanded so much that possibly most, or all of our food, will be in the ownership of the shareholders of GM corporations.
It is the nature of business to expand. It is the nature of Big Business to swallow up Little Business, so that Big Business ends up with a monopoly. GM production is nothing if not Big Business, with a Big Long-Term Plan to own all of the world's food. We need to wise up to this agenda which is already underway by stealth.
The notion that GM and non-GM food can co-exist harmoniously, side by side in the world, is a nonsense. The more widespread GM production becomes, the more impossible it will be for small non-GM farmers to continue growing natural crops. The inexorable force of unfettered capitalism knows no bounds and will put paid to the independent farmers.
As well as the impetus of Big Business to contend with, these farmers would be struggling in a destroyed eco-system, within which they could not grow their crops. On our delicately balanced planet, everything is linked to everything else. When GM crops are grown, they alter the eco-system for everybody else. They wipe out insect species and contaminate non-G.M. foods, through the natural cross-pollination carried out by bees and other flying insects.
The very existence of genetically modified foods within the eco-system changes the environment in which non-GM farmers have to work. As GM crops encroach more and more, non-GM crops will eventually be wiped out.
Our grand-children, or great-grandchildren, will be born into a world, where farmers cannot sow the seeds to grow food, as they now do. All the food in the world will be privately owned, by stock-exchange investors, or super-rich individuals, some, possibly, with megalomaniac tendencies, who will be able to control the price they charge farmers for the license to grow food and the price it is sold at.
Furthermore, it is utterly Orwellian for GM propagandists to say that genetically modified foods will alleviate famine in poor countries 'by providing higher yield crops'. Genetically modified foods will cause famine, by placing the control of food in the hands of business, in the hands of the rich and the few, instead of the many, as is the case today. This would be the grim reality of food politics in a Brave New GM World.
As we know in Ireland, famine is not caused by food shortages. Always, the underlying reason is human stupidity, greed and, of course, food politics.

First Sunday of September – Palio Horse Race in Asti, Piemonte
The city of Asti in Piemonte holds claim to the oldest bareback horserace in Italy, which has been run nearly continuously since the 13th century. The Palio di Asti takes place in September, typically on the first Sunday, but sometimes later in the month.
Mid-September – Giostro della Quintana in Foligno, Umbria
September marks the second edition, or challenge, of Foligno's twice-yearly jousting tournament, the Giostro della Quintana, an event that was revived in 1946. One of the bigger traditional events in Umbria, the Quintana features a Ring Joust and a parade of more than 700 locals dressed in 17th century costumes. See also the listing for June.
Mid-September – Palio Horse Race, Parma
Parma, in Emilia-Romagna, also holds a medieval horse race in September, pitting its five districts against one another. Learn more about the Palio di Parma.
September 19 – Feast of San Gennaro, Napoli and environs
Saint Januarius, known in Italian as San Gennaro, is the principal patron saint of Naples and he is celebrated each year on September 19, the alleged day of his martydom in the 4th century. This day is also one of three days throughout the year when the faithful go to Naples Cathedral to witness the liquefaction of the blood of San Gennaro. The Festa di San Gennaro is a local holiday, meaning that schools and businesses are closed.

Campaspe Shire Council is gearing up for the flu season and will be offering vaccinations from May.
Mayor Cr Adrian Weston said council will begin administering flu shots from May to ensure vaccinations are most effective for the peak flu season.
"Research shows that the peak flu season is from August to September and vaccinations are most effective after three months," Cr Weston said.
Council's flu vaccine contains the four most common strains of the flu virus of which two strains differ from last year's vaccine. Vaccines are available at a cost $30.
Residents are required to pre pay for flu vaccinations which can be received at council's immunisation sessions in Echuca, Rochester, Lockington, Gunbower, Kyabram, Stanhope, Tongala, Rushworth or Girgarre.
"Flu vaccinations are free for people over 65 and individuals in the high risk category," Cr Weston said.
Council's immunisation team also run a business program sessions with group vaccinations. Campaspe businesses can arrange a date and time for immunisation nurses to visit their workplace and conduct a group vaccination session for their staff at a cost of $30 per dose.
Last year, 1,400 doses of the flu vaccine were administered by council prior to the countrywide shortage. This year 1,500 – 1,700 vaccines are expected to be given.
"Vaccinations have been pre ordered in preparation for the May sessions," Cr Weston said.
With over 3,000 flu-related deaths each year, vaccinating is the most effective way to protect both yourself and those around you.
"Contrary to popular belief, the vaccine cannot give you a dose of the flu because it does not contain any live virus," Cr Weston said.
Pre payments can be made by calling the customer contact team on 1300 666 535 or visiting a customer service centre.

Bali is a beautiful island in South East Asian and now it is become easier to traveling around. Driving on your own can be cheaper yet stressful, people on the road are more likely to improvise due to the lack of signaling on some roads. If you wonder how to commuting around Canggu, Seminyak & Kuta Area, here is a full list of transportation that you can find:
There is 2 types of taxis: with meter and without. It is better to choose with a meter.
At first, the taxi will display some amount of Rupiah on the meters and the price depends mainly on road traffic, distance and the time when you call it. You can say "Meter please" to the driver.
The International Driving License is required and people drive on left. Don't rent anywhere and try to check other prices in other car location. The price to rent a car is about Rp 300.000 to Rp 600.000 per day. The standard insurance cost between Rp 1.300.000 and Rp 5.000.000 but it's not enough! Ask with your insurance tiers responsibility that insurance you for an amount of damage below Rp 1.000.000.
You have to be very careful on the road, it is better to avoid driving at night and in some places sighs are almost nonexistent. Don't hesitate to honk and signal yourself to other drivers because it is a habit. People prefer to rent a car with tpersonal driver when taking a long holiday in Bali.
Car Rental with a personal driver transports the most interesting and safe.
It has advantages that fill the inconvenience of the car rental. You don't need to think about insurance and the risk of accidents. The driver usually works 8 hours but you can negotiate with him for overtime.
Scooters and bikes are the most practical transport to move quickly but also the most dangerous so you have to wear a helmet. It's possible to rent a bike and scooter everywhere for a price about Rp 50.000 to Rp 150.000 depending the season.
TVD are private drivers that able you to call a moto-taxi with an application very used and this is practical to move quickly.
There are some companies like Uber, Grab and Gojek in this category. The helmet is provided by the driver. Prices are usually are not so much expensive.
It is possible to rent a bicycle for one hour or for one day in all touristic areas for a price between Rp 30.000 and Rp 50.000
Shuttle bus managed by companies but also by private drivers who provide a link with the most touristic places on the island. There are about 4 to 5 seats maximum and they are more comfortable than Bemo because they have an air conditioner.
BEMOS (mini-bus)
The Bemo is the old classic public transportation in Indonesia. Unfortunately, it is starting to disappear in favor of scooter. It usually runs only in the morning and follows an already predefined trip, mostly from town to town or traditional market. There is about ten seats but it is not the most comfortable transport especially on long distance.
Moreover, it is also the only transport where animals are allowed. You should know that at the Terminal, the bus does not leave until it is full. Also just a simple sign of the land is enough to stop it. Usually, the traveler prefers the shuttle bus than bemo.

New Zealand, more fondly referred to as, The Land of the Long White Cloud? by the Maori natives, is situated in the South Pacific Ocean. With North Island and South Island comprising the major land area of this beautiful country, the much smaller islands of Antipodes, Auckland, Bounty, Campbell, Chatham and Kermadec are no less scenic.
Having an area about the size of Colorado (USA), New Zealand enjoys a majestic mountainous landscape alongside some large coastal plains. The north of New Zealand has sub-tropical climate, and as one travels south, the temperature starts decreasing giving the southern regions a much cooler temperate climate. The average maximum temperature ranges between 20?C and 30?C during summer and 10?C and 15?C during winters.

CIT excels at innovative ideas and creating outstanding modern numismatic collectibles in a quite literal sense. Now, at the Tokyo International Coin Convention 2017, CIT is thrilled to present the first numismatic snow globe! Celebrating spring time in Japan, the globe appropriately displays not a snowy landscape but the famous cherry blossom known as sakura. Thousands of pink flower petals slowly float and descend onto a charming little silver coin displaying a cherry tree in full bloom and a couple in embrace celebrating the Hanami festival.
The snow globe itself is produced in Vienna by the Perzy family business who invented the globes in the 19th century. The premium globes are handcrafted, made of highest quality glass and filled with pure alpine water.
The Cherry Blossom Globe is a marvelous numismamtic collectible that takes the viewer on an emotional journey like few other coins ever have. The romantic and ephemeral nature of the spring bloom and life itself are gracefully presented and make the Cherry Blossom Globe a truly exceptional display piece.

OAKLAND — A Lafayette resident has been charged with lying about his primary residence on forms requesting emergency federal aid for victims of the Butte Fire, court records show.
Thomas Casha was charged in federal court with a single misdemeanor count, theft of public funds.
Casha owned a property in Calaveras County that was destroyed by the 2015 wildfire, which burned 70,868 acres. But his crime, according to prosecutors, was claiming the home as his "primary residence," which meant he would have had to live there more than half the time.
Casha has lived in Lafayette since 1979 and the Calaveras County residence was his "vacation home," prosecutors allege.
The charging documents allege that on Oct. 15, because of Casha's application, "FEMA issued a U.S. Treasury check to CASHA from the pool of funds intended to provide money and services to individuals whose primary residences had been damaged or destroyed by the Butte Fire."
The charge, filed Wednesday, carries a penalty of up to a year in jail or a $100,000 fine, with up to five years probation.


text: MUMBAI: The non-banking finance companies are planning to meet the Reserve Bank of India on the issue of implementation of Indian Accounting Standards, popularly known as Ind AS.RBI has deferred the implementation of Ind AS for banks by a year, while it is applicable for NBFCs from April 1, 2018. NBFCs will have to compute their first quarter result this month and it is expected to have an impact on capital due to enhanced provisioning.Ind AS is a global accounting practice that NBFCs are mandated to adopt, which may lead to initial credit losses. The practice is on a par with the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9. The provisioning requirements under IFRS 9 would be higher as NBFCs will have to provide for on expected losses rather than incurred losses.According to the initial plan, ministry of corporate affairs was to implement Ind AS for banks, insurance companies and NBFCs from 1 April 2018 onwards. In April 2018, RBI deferred the implementation of Indian Accounting Standards by one year for banks. Now, 2019-20 would be the first year of Ind AS with 2018-19 as the comparative year for banks. Also, Ind AS implementation date has been deferred for insurance companies by two years."Since RBI took a stance that it should be implemented from this year, the MCA secretary and NBFCs have decided to knock at the doors of RBI once again," said Raman Aggarwal chairman Finance Industry Development Council umbrella body for NBFCs. "We would like clarity on issues like expected credit loss and effective interest rates."The sector is looking for clarification on certain issues. Under the Ind AS there is divergence in the way different entities report numbers. For instance, Ind AS mandates recognition of income on loans based on "effective interest rates."This is based on expected pattern of the portfolio considering prepayment probability, fee income amortisation and delinquency.Currently fee income is usually recognised up front, while interest on all non-NPA loans is recognised on accrual basis.

Weaving is the process of interlacing two set of yarns or threads collectively at right angles such that they form a unified fabric. If you have a Windows 8 computer, then your upgrade to Windows 8.1 is free. This is the newest version of Windows eight. This upgrade can be being delivered in a new approach. It is coming down via the Microsoft Store and Microsoft expects therefore that ALL Home windows eight computer systems will likely be up to date to the new model. They so much so anticipate this that they are withholding updates to Home windows eight and only publishing them for Home windows 8.1. As the primary instance, Microsoft launched Internet Explorer eleven to Windows 7 and Windows eight.1 however not to Windows 8.
As talked about earlier, majority of the style brands and garment retailers have already shifted their manufacturing to the ASEAN (Affiliation of Southeast Asian Nations) nations comparable to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. In these nations, many of the garment manufacturing processes particularly the sewing process is still carried out by expert labor. Substantial progress has not done by the producers on buying automated tools and tools. This has helped them to maintain their investments low. Alternatively, there are some manufacturers with automated instruments and tools for sewing and other activities that can produce worth-added merchandise more effectively. The producers not investing on the modern tools and equipment are facing very stiff competitors to keep the labor cost low.
Yoram Koren first came up with the idea of Reconfigurable Manufacturing Programs in 1995. As a substitute of having every sort of machine in a row to deal with an element from start to end, reconfigurable manufacturing systems have rows of every type of machine. After a part has been processed by the primary kind of machine, it's forwarded to the next accessible machine in the subsequent row.
Since you might be utilizing the Web, you have got the flexibility to use a pc for training and information purposes. You could even have the power to move some information on to your kids or grandchildren. Even for those who aren't a pc master, you'll be able to guide a baby's growth in technology by providing fundamental computer technologies to them. Do not be afraid to do so even in case you aren't as comfortable with technology as your little one is.
Every enterprise has competitors. These rivals are actively in search of prospects similar to your enterprise. How a lot effort you have to expend with the intention to counteract their sales efforts depends upon the general market size and your company's dimension relative to your opponents. The more competition you face, the extra gravity is current working in opposition to your lifting efforts. If the general market is large and you face quite a lot of equally-sized opponents, your lifting efforts will not should be as massive as that of a small enterprise competing in opposition to very large competitors. The key is to recognize what market you'll be able to successfully play in given your lifting energy and the gravity imposed by your competitors.

Part of the reason for my tired state is that I hosted a Cocktail and Tea Party on Saturday. The number one rule for such parties should be that the hostess does not have to go to work on the day prior to the party. Because not only did I have to go to the office, I had to work until midnight, so there was some mad-dash baking going on until the early hours of Saturday morning. I also had to work on Sunday. Silly me.
Because I have been bound to the stove, I have not been able to have Darlinghurst adventures, so you will just have to make do with this post: A Darlinghurst Cocktail and Tea Party!

What is CMV?
Cytomegalovirus, or CMV, is a common type of herpes virus that generally comes and goes without notice in healthy children and adults. However, in very rare cases, it can cause complications for an unborn baby.
How common is CMV?
About half of pregnant women already have dormant CMV virus in their bodies from a previous infection, often during childhood. If you're among that group, you can't catch it now. Though the virus can be "reactivated" if you've had it in the past, the risks to the fetus are even lower than they are if you get a new CMV infection while you're expecting.
All told, only about 1 to 4 percent of women have CMV during pregnancy. If you do have CMV during pregnancy, there's about a 1 in 3 chance of passing it to your baby. Even then, very few (about 1 in 200 babies) are born with CMV and of those, and only about 1 in 5 will have long-term complications from the virus.
How CMV is transmitted
CMV can be transmitted if you come into prolonged contact with infected body fluid, including saliva, urine, mucous, blood, feces or semen (for example, through sexual contact with someone who is infected or if it's on your hands and spreads to your mouth -- another reason frequent, careful hand-washing is so important). Women who have or work with little kids may be at a higher risk of CMV infection, since the virus is commonly found in the saliva and urine of young children (especially those ages 1 to 3) and can be spread among toddlers at day care centers and playgrounds.
CMV can be passed on from Mom's blood to baby any time during pregnancy through the placenta if the mother is infected with CMV for the first time, if she becomes infected with a different strain of CMV or if the virus is "reactivated" because the immune system is compromised (due to a very serious but rare condition like HIV, for instance).
More on Pregnancy Health
Who's most at risk?
Women who have not been infected with CMV before pregnancy are most at risk (though it can be hard to know if that's you, since symptoms are so similar to other viral infections). The most serious problems from CMV infection are likely to occur earlier in pregnancy, particularly the first trimester -- so it's an especially good idea to take extra hygiene precautions during that time.
What are the risks of CMV infection during pregnancy?
The vast majority (up to 90 percent or more) of babies who are infected with CMV during pregnancy never show any signs of infection at birth. For the few who do, symptoms may include:
- Seizures
- Small head size (microcephaly)
- Small size at birth
- Liver, spleen and lung problems
A small percentage of babies with no symptoms at birth may show more serious effects later in life, including:
- Learning and motor disabilities
- Vision or hearing loss (CMV transmitted before birth is the leading cause of hearing loss in children)
- Seizures
How to avoid getting CMV
Because there is the potential for serious birth defects with CMV infection, it's smart to play it as safe as possible. As with any viral infection you're trying to avoid, your best defense is a good offense. If you have small kids or are ever around them, be especially meticulous about the following:
- Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water, especially after changing diapers or wiping noses
- Dispose of all diapers and tissues properly
- Resist nibbling on leftovers
- Don't share glasses and utensils with anyone, particularly young children
- Consider avoiding kissing little kids on the mouth (opt for the forehead, for now)
Symptoms of CMV in moms
Although CMV often comes and goes without any obvious symptoms, it's occasionally marked those including:
- Fever
- Constant, persistent fatigue
- Swollen glands
- Sore throat
What to do if you think you might have CMV
The symptoms of CMV are similar to those of a variety of other illnesses, including strep throat and flu. That said, it's worth checking in with your doctor if you experience any, as you may need treatment no matter what's behind them.
If your doctor thinks you might have CMV, he or she may do a blood test to see if you have CMV antibodies, a sign of infection. If you are infected, your fetus can then be tested by amniocentesis or ultrasounds. (Although this can tell you about the baby's infection status, it can't tell you what the outcome of the infection will be.)

Did she do it? UCL student in sick online rant saying 'Hitler should have wiped out Jews when he had the chance'
Brutal anti-Semitic outburst appears on student's Facebook page accusing Israel of murder and torture…
A shocking and graphic Facebook rant saying "Hitler should have wiped out all those fucking Jews when he had the chance" appeared on the Facebook account of a second year UCL student.
The brutal outburst, on the personal Facebook page of Raja Almaiahi, a Linguistics student, came as an explosive sign-off to a series of posts critical of the Israeli government's conduct in Gaza.
A university press officer said they were unaware of any complaints but The Tab understands at least two students have complained directly to UCL chief Michael Arthur about the politically charged rant, while another has reported it to a Jewish community organisation.
UCL is part of the University of London where Princess Anne is the vice chancellor.
The status compared Israel's treatment of Palestine to the treatment of Jews during the Holocaust and said "Israeli's" are guilty of "murdering, torturing, and burning alive thousands upon thousands of non-Jewish children".
One student reacted with shock, commenting: "What the fuck."
When we called Almaiahi's phone, her aunt answered and said she was in the shower. She has since been unavailable for comment.
Daniel Gross, Chairman of UCL Jewish Society, said the status created a dangerous environment on campus.
He said: "If the despicable declaration was written with sincerity and in earnest, the committee categorically deplores it.
"We are shocked that such an ignorant and inflammatory rhetoric could be thought and publicised by a student at such a well-established, prestigious and multicultural university, in which there is normally the greatest level of mutual respect among all students.
"Not only were her statements about Israel wholly inaccurate, but she condoned, welcomed and applauded the worst mass extermination and genocide of a people in history, the Holocaust.
"To have the audacity to condone Hitler alludes to how this student's opinion reaches far beyond the difficult conflict and most importantly addresses her disgraceful anti-Semitic views which are abhorrent and unacceptable.
"Finally, the statement arguably creates a dangerous environment, not only for Jews but also for anyone who dares to have an opinion."
The angry series of rants have since been deleted. It is unclear whether Almaiahi herself was the author of the clearly emotional anti-Semitic rant.
The name of her Facebook account was changed yesterday and has since been deleted.

It's not due to modesty that Musgrave Group rarely takes centre stage in these blogs. The success of this business is based on partnership. It's through our brands that shoppers in particular see the results of that partnership — so it's only reasonable that our partners are usually the focus of these comments.
Nevertheless it's nice to be reminded that we are indeed doing a good job — and not just by our partners or colleagues in our own boardrooms, warehouses and backroom operations.
In this case we're talking about the corporate finance giant Deloitte and our own Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD. The minister was guest speaker and Deloitte the driving force behind the recent ceremony in Dublin highlighting the Deloitte Best Managed Companies Awards Programme.
At the ceremony we were named as one of Ireland's Best Managed companies. The fact that this is the only awards programme across Ireland that considers a business' performance from every perspective makes our award (the fourth in four years) especially gratifying. But like all award winners we are only too aware that teamwork won the award. In our case that team extends beyond the Group business to stores run by our partners everywhere in Ireland, Great Britain, Northern Ireland and Spain. They are the first point of call for the customers who make this company successful, and we will never forget that.

1-Day Guide Service to Machu Picchu
Click Here to get the latest information about the NEW RULES for entry to Machu Picchu After Covid-19
Adios professional, licensed guides live locally. They speak English and are experts on local history, lore and culture. Scroll to bottom for information about booking our guides.
What is the status of the regulation that states you need a guide to enter Machu Picchu?
The new regulation (released in 2018) that requires visitors to hire a guide for entry to Machu Picchu is not being enforced. There are simply not enough guides available. Don't worry about hiring a guide. Just go. There would be an uproar of momentous proportions if people showed up without a guide and were not permitted to enter. When you check in to your hotel in Cusco or Sacred Valley, ask about the status of this rule as I'm sure that eventually they will want to enforce it. But not today or anytime soon.
Restricted Access to 3 Historical Monuments at Machu Picchu
Park authorities have limited access to Intihuatana (Sundial) from 7-10AM, Kuntur Wasi (Temple of the Condor) from 10AM-1PM) and Inti Wasi (Temple of the Sun) from 1-4PM. For people who want to set up a plan to include comprehensive guided tours with all 3 structures, and perhaps Sungate and easy 1-Day Inca Trail hike.
Here's a link to more information. Restricted Access to Historical Monuments.
Machu Picchu "Pick-up" Guides.
The cost of a "pick-up" guide found standing at the main entry of Machu Picchu will usually be cheaper than pre-arranging a trained professional guide. Pickup guides are supposed to be licensed and should carry official identification. Seasoned, experienced guides will not be found standing at the entry to Machu Picchu. These guides live in Cusco and they are booked in advance. At the end of this post I've included info about rates.
What to Know About Pickup Guides.
If a pickup guide at the main entry tells you that the guided tour is limited to 1 hour, please do us all a favor and walk away immediately. The new hourly entry tickets affect the entry time only, not the amount of time inside. If a guide is trying to limit tours to 1 hour so he/she can get back out front to hook up with another group, I wouldn't hire that guide. I truly support local guides, porters and drivers earning living wages. But this is deceptive. I could see offering people a different rate for a short guided tour or higher rate for a long guided tour. And maybe someone will figure that out after the new system has some time to settle in. When we set up guide service, Adios guides will serve 1 group per day maximum. Their tours are an average of 3-4H.
Machu Picchu entry tickets are valid for one entry only. Whether it's guided or not is immaterial. (click here to get more details)
The biggest obstacle to entering Machu Picchu is not what you think:
Your biggest obstacle to getting in to Machu Picchu is not the lack of guide service or problems with tickets, it's the shuttle buses. Since the new hourly entry tickets have been implemented, we have noticed that you can wait up to an hour to board the bus in either direction during busy season. If you don't mind walking back to the village you could buy 1-way bus ticket up to Machu Picchu and walk back (about 1 - 2 hours) to Aguas Calientes. It's ridiculous that the Peruvian government went to all the trouble to set up entry tickets that will more than double the number of visitors per day without adding additional shuttle buses to transport those people back and forth between the village and the entry to the citadel. Their stance is that they will not bring in more buses because of the negative environmental impact.
With the change to entry tickets in 2019 being sold on the hour, we have seen long waiting lines for buses. But the bus agents are now only letting people board the bus if they have tickets for entry within the hour. Machu Picchu authorities have stated they will work the the bus company to make sure people have timely and reliable transportation between Aguas Calientes and the main entry. One thing we do know is that visitors can enter any time after the time stamped on their ticket. You cannot enter even 1 minute earlier. It's to your advantage to buy a ticket for entry earlier than you need and then show up and enter when you get there. Our guides report that as long as you enter after the time on your ticket (and before 12N if it's a morning ticket!) you can get in anytime.
The regulations about having Guides for the hikes state that:
- Visitors with tickets to hike to Huayna Picchu are not required to have guides during the hike.
- Visitors with tickets to hike to Machu Picchu Mountain are not required to have guides during the hike.
Finding Guide Service at Machu Picchu:
- New hourly entry tickets in 2019 and 2020 affect your entry time only. Once you're inside the citadel, a good guided tour should take about 2 hours. (Adios guided tours can take up to 4 hours because they are more thorough. We do not use "pickup" guides)
- There are local guides standing at the main entry for immediate hire. English skills can vary. Guided tours take 2-2.5 hours depending on the circuit you choose and your pace. The more groups they guide, the more money they make. Ask how long the tour will take before you agree.
- During the guided tour, re-entry is not allowed. (the only restrooms are located at the main entry and should be visited prior to entering the citadel. Follow this link to get more details about restroom situation at Machu Picchu)
- In case there are no guides available, visitors are still permitted to enter. (although new rules state that all visitors must be accompanied by a licensed guide, it is not being enforced)
Average cost to hire pickup guides at the main entry: (guides will determine their own rates and these are subject to change without notice) Experience and training will vary.
- $60 USD - 1 or 2 people
- $25 USD pp for 3-5 people
- $15 USD pp for group of 10 (maximum group up to 20 people)
How to Hire an "Adios" professional, licensed, English-speaking guide for your visit to Machu Picchu:
- All groups who book multi-day trips that include a visit to Machu Picchu include the services of our licensed guides.
- Adios guides can accompany you on hikes to Sungate, Inca Bridge, Montana and Huayna Picchu on request depending on the type of entry tickets you have.
- Having a great guide can make a difference in having a satisfactory trip and a Great Trip. Our guides are your advocate for solving problems and providing advice. Our guides live in Cusco except Ishmael who lives in Santa Teresa and travels back and forth on hidroelectric train.
- For 1-day guide service, our guide will meet you at the train station or your hotel in Aguas Calientes. If you're staying in Cusco, we'll arrange for the guide to come and meet you at your hotel lobby for a briefing. (midday or afternoon entry is best. There's not enough time to travel from Cusco on the same day as the morning entry. The earliest they can get to AC is 6:45AM)
- Service is subject to availability and is best arranged in advance
- Cost covers guide wages, and travel expenses to and from Cusco
- Guide service beginning from Cusco can be arranged on request
- Other guide services including Cusco Walking City Tour / Cusco Historical Outskirts Tour / Sacred Valley Tour, can be arranged on request
Cost for private Adios guide per group in USD: $212 (up to 5 people)
Please provide the following information to make a reservation in advance:
- Date of service required
- Entry time for your Machu Picchu ticket
- Name of hotel including name the reservation is made in, or train arrival information.
- Name of group leader, age of each person and number of people in the group
- Contact Adios US Office to make full payment. All major credit cards accepted.

25 September 2018 - 28 October 2018
In commemoration of the 120th anniversary of artist Alexander Dobrinov's birth, the Sofia City Art Gallery is opening a retrospective exhibition of cartoons and caricatures drawn by the artist over the period 1915 - 1958.
Dobrinov created hundreds of political and socially conscious cartoons and compositions, leaving behind a voluminous legacy of incredible portraits of entire generations. Were it not for Dobrinov's art, these images of poets, musicians, singers, authors, actors, art critics, philosophers, and politicians would have remained hidden behind their occupations and professional accomplishments.
In the 1930's, art critic Emanuil Popdimitrov gave a foresightful account of Alexander Dobrinov's past and current presence in Bulgarian art, writing: "Besides being satirical in character, Alexander Dobrinov's cartoons have a purely aesthetic effect produced by the beauty of lines and the subtlety of watercolor. This is supplemented by the joy of likeness to the model. Because viewers of today take pleasure in solving the riddle, in recognizing the model, while admiring the artist's ability to accomplish likeness regardless of the significant change in facial features presented by the drawing. This concerns viewers of today alone. Many of these cartoons will also be admired by those who will not be familiar with the models. And this is what the true art of portrait caricature is all about: to have a life of its own apart from the model. And this is how it is going to be for Alexander Dobrinov's cartoons."[1]
Today, there are fewer and fewer witnesses to the age presented by the artist. What we are left with are facts, events, archives, libraries, and the artist's works dispersed among various newspapers, magazines, galleries, museums and private collections around Bulgaria, and throughout the world. This exhibition features more than 200 cartoons and portrait caricatures belonging to the permanent collections of the Sofia City Art Gallery, the National Art Gallery, the National Museum of Literature, and the artist's family.
An exhibition catalogue is available presenting works from Bulgarian collections, as well as, for the first time ever, works belonging to the permanent collections of the Gallery of Fine Art in Ostrava and the Gallery of Modern Art in Hradec Králové, the Czech Republic.
21 September 2018 - 04 November 2018
The Eliezer Alcheh and "Aesthetics of Disgrace" project focuses on the past, more specifically on that segment of the past stretching between the dates of birth and death of artist Eliezer Alshekh, namely the time between the years of 1908 and 1983. Drawing on Ruzha Marinska's study of the artist's work, as well as on the knowledge acquired by Rumyana Konstantinova during the preparation of the large retrospective exhibition organized in 2008 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the artist's birth at the National Art Gallery in Sofia, today, ten years later, the curators of the exhibition hosted by the Sofia City Art Gallery, namely Plamen V. Petrov, Ramona Dimova, Natasha Noeva, and Nikoleta Gologanova, offer their own perspective on the artist's past. Memories of him, documents shedding light on his personal life and professional career, and the substantial body of his work are finally being transformed into history, which helps put things in perspective. The past is rendered into a story, which does not constitute a mere succession of dates and events, but rather a narrative that could not only be read through, but also lived through and made sense of.
"Death projects its brutal and necessary separation on every nook and cranny of our lives", wrote philosopher Jeanne Hersch in her essay From Exile to Farewell. Alshekh's separation from Bulgaria happened in the distant year of 1928, when the Bulgarian national with Jewish blood running in his veins set off on a journey to Munich. In the decades to follow, he would live the life of a rover, a stranger until his last breath, whose work, overshadowed by labor camps, would be branded formalistic and disregarded because of that. Yes, Bulgaria and Eliezer Alshekh parted a good 90 years ago. Yet it is this separation that defines his notable and unique place in the history of Bulgarian art. The Eliezer Alcheh and "Aesthetics of Disgrace" exhibition tells the story of his earning this special recognition. The exhibition centerpiece is his 1960's work Port by Night, a painting considered to be one of the peaks of his artistic career. The canvas will be shipped from Buenos Aires exclusively for the exhibition together with other works of the artist that have not been exhibited or published before. Featured among them are Alshekh's first artistic attempts.
Also, the exhibition prompted the collation of a printed edition featuring the contents of the exhibition, including pictures of the artworks included and the entire volume of newly found documents providing evidence and facts about the artist that have not been published before, as well as already familiar papers by renowned Bulgarian researchers. To help shed light on the historical context of the artist's personal life and professional career, the exhibition team asked prominent researchers such as Prof. Eugenia Kalinova, Ph. D., Rumyana Marinova-Hristidi, Ph. D., Assoc. Prof., and Alexander Sivilov, Ph. D., Assoc. Prof., to contribute research papers to the edition.
The exhibition features artworks belonging to the permanent collections of the Sofia City Art Gallery, the National Art Gallery, Sofia, the Ruse City Art Gallery, Boris Denev Veliko Tarnovo City Art Gallery, Iliya Beshkov Pleven City Art Gallery, the Kazanlak City Art Gallery, Dimitar Dobrovich Sliven City Art Gallery, the Stara Zagora City Art Gallery, the Plovdiv City Art Gallery, the City of Vratsa Museum of Regional History. Also featured are paintings from numerous private collections.
The project is brought to life in official partnership with the Faculty of History of the Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski, the Embassy of the Argentine Republic in the Republic of Bulgaria, and the Organization of Jews in Bulgaria Shalom.
The exhibition is organized with the patronage of His Excellency Alberto A. M. Trueba, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Argentine Republic to the Republic of Bulgaria

Famous Last Words: Going to the Advance Renewal National Bank
As a freelance copywriter, I cut my teeth in the magazine circulation world, creating direct mail packages as well as renewal and billing series. When my wife, Peggy, and I started the newsletter, WHO'S MAILING WHAT!, I did for myself what I did for clients.
The usual sequence for renewal efforts is as follows: 1) renewal at birth - add a renewal effort on the initial invoice suggesting that the new subscriber sign up for another year at some ridiculously low rate (which I can offer you because you will save me the cost of sending out a renewal and save yourself the nuisance of receiving unwanted mail); 2) send monthly renewals at expire (X) minus six months, X minus three months, X minus two months, X minus one month, X, X plus one month, X plus two months. You keep sending renewal efforts until they are unprofitable.
At a Newsletter Publishers Association conference in Washington, D.C., in the early years of our newsletter, financial whiz Howard Ruff did a session on renewals. "Never borrow money," he railed. "Instead, go to the Advance Renewal National Bank!" By that he meant, if you need money, send out an advance renewal, and you'll always get a certain number of subscribers that pay little attention to when their subscriptions are up for renewal and send in money. How do you know when your magazine or newsletter subscription is up for renewal? You can find the date on the mailing label.
Last June I received the form you see here from The Wall Street Journal. Normally I renew this publication without thinking about it. However, our delivery guy-who also brings me The Times and The Inquirer-persuaded his bosses to forego labels on The Wall Street Journal as being an unnecessary pain in the butt.

Hi, my name's Buu and I collect and sell merch! My biggest collection is for Erwin Smith from Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin. I collect a few other characters and also video game merch, though my collection there isn't as detailed.
I sell merchandise! I do current boxsplits on tumblr @ buudove.tumblr.... and sell extra items @ buugoods.storen...

Hey there, I was going to message you but it said your inbox was full, so feel free to delete this. Just wanted to let you know that everything arrived safe an' sound yesterday, and I really appreciate everything and the extra cards were such a great surprise! I love them! I can't thank you enough~
Actually, it's a bit of a toss between Levi and Erwin because they're a terrible merch duo at highest fan-prices, but it's mostly Levi that makes the set price so wild. Almost no one sells Levis individually due to his high demand (and when someone did I saw him almost go for 10,000y alone!) but the price drops significantly when the set are split. Sometimes you get really passionate fans, once an Erwin sold for 7,000y before they'd come out and were JUST announced! So it really depends. . . I got a quiet listing and grabbed a spare Erwin and Hange for less than 2,000y, but that is a super lucky thing that almost never happens. Hopefully those straps stick around for you! >: They've never really sold below 10,000y unfortunately... it's ridiculous but that's the downside of limited items.
And you're absolutely right, I've gotten into the habit of keeping them in sets where possible, though I've skipped out on the idea with the plushies and the figures, I'm trying to save space. >: But rubber straps and charms? I have to get sets of them, it doesn't feel right not having the friends together. ♥
Thank you! It'll be a fun adventure, I'm very excited in regards to future Kujis as they're improving on the quality and also just what fresh merch they'll make for S2! I hope there isn't too much, I have other favourites that become important in S2 as well so I hope not to go overboard. :p I can't wait for all of Mike's parts, thoughh. I think my expectations are too high. :( Need to calm down before 2016.
And I did! I was going to be patient but the quality of this Erwin and Levi really improved over the last, particularly Erwin (I guess they're more used to making Levi? Haha) so I grabbed them on the night of release. I've read and seen all three versions of ACWNR, I like the visual novel version best for its more meaningful twist of an ending, some changes in the manga and anime I wasn't as keen on, but it was cool to see both versions afterward! I enjoyed them all in their own way and it was great to see more to both Erwin and Levi. I remember when an ACWNR OVA was just a mean Japan april fool's, I wasn't sure it'd get the real thing so that was super surprising!
I'm a huge nerd for Shadis as well though so it was really cool to have a little more to him.
And ahh sorry I've rambled! I don't get much chance for discussions so I just end up textwalling every time! :p How about you? Did you enjoy ACWNR?We have a lot at the fair, ourselves! My favourites are Faverolles and Sebrights, definitely!
Wow I just looked up both, they are so pretty :O I especially love the sebright. Will have to tell my mother to look at them too!
Ughh you have a good point, eruri is a dangerously expensive combo D: It seems like Levi fans are seriously devoted (unfortunately for me heh). That's pretty insane, as much as I adore rubber straps and Levi, I don't think I could ever pay 10,000 JPY for a strap *cries*. Oh my, congrats on that steal you found!! Two for that price is great! Thank you for the info as well! Now I don't feel as bad if I do end up purchasing them at that price :'D
I feel ya! I have no space for the new snk plushies but I really couldn't resist especially with Hanji's smile and Erwin's bolo tie. It's certainly a good thing that straps are tiny and don't take up much room! And inexpensive enough to keep friends together haha.
Yup I'm excited to see your collection grow with more Erwins! Perhaps another figure for Erwin will appear in a future Kuji? I had to hold off on his Sentinel figure because I really want two Hanjis, but I thought it turned out very well. Lol it's probably a good time to save up for 2016's snk merch :p I think it's safe to assume you read the manga buuut View spoilerHide spoilerI'm SO excited but Mike's death will maybe be in the first 10 episodes?? That part was probably the most horrifying to read in the whole series. Must mentally prepare for the anime and financially prepare for merch orz
That's good to hear, I didn't really care for the last kuji figures of them so now I'm more excited to pick them up. Ohh I don't know about the visual novel, but was that basically the original version? What is the ending like? Did they really do such a cruel April Fool's Day joke?? Lmao. I just read the manga version and watched the anime version. I loved the illustrator's style and was hoping to get the Hanji and Isabel scene D: Also I loved Levi's "What a man" (I think?) line at the end of the manga. The anime was good in the sense that it was emotionally scarring. Levi screaming and crying was totally unexpected but it was horribly great. Ah if only the manga extra with Levi and Shadis was also included!
Aww no worries, I love listening and rambling about snk! Sorry for all the text as well :'D
I find he's fairly uncommon but I've also gone all out to get everything of him that I can, so in terms of everything outside of figures, he's got quite a lot now! I imagine S2, especially with the second half, it'll go into complete meltdown but I'm looking forward to that. :p But for now I've been happy with him being included in all the neat kuji lottery prizes, they've been great!Definitely cute, I was so pleased when they were a thing! Chickens are wonderful creatures, we have them as pets, not to mention they can be extremely beautiful! ♥
Aww I'm jealous! :D they sound so sweet! They are always very lovely to check out at the local county fair, so many different kinds of them ;w;
I stumbled upon a set of the Levi/Hanji/Erwin Lawson straps for 14,000 JPY a while ago, and I think I'm gonna go for it if it's still available in a week or two orz I think Erwin is driving the price up!! I only really need Levi but I also find the veteran survey corps members inseparable and irresistible?? anyways.
Even though he doesn't have a ton of merch right now I think the picktam strap and Lawson strap make up for it all xp I wish you the best of luck obtaining all the future Erwins! Speaking of season 2, I hope Mike gets a bit more love ;~; Ohh I see you already got the new Kuji Erwin c prize that was bundled with Levi (very nice)! Did you watch/read/enjoy acwnr?
I do my best, the Lawsons were definitely a must have as a chicken owner! ♥ But I do my best to grab everything official. You've got a nice collection, yourself! I've seen your photos around a few times.Ahh thank you very much! I appreciate the comment. :)
Aw you're right, that makes the chicken straps even cuter for ya! <3 It seems like everyone in my town owns chickens and my mother is dying for some lol. Erwin merch is certainly hard to come by. It will be nice to see even more goodies of him coming out hopefully with season 2 especially??. Thank you as well!!
I applaud your Erwin collection ;w; Those Lawson straps too tho. Very cute, and good job!! I love the devotion!

The Church of England is not interested in opening any grammar schools, despite Theresa May's plans to reintroduce selection, according to its chief education officer.
The CofE currently operates 4,700 schools, but plans to open an additional 125 free schools by 2020 – more than a quarter of the total number planned for that period.
But, asked whether the CofE had any plans to open grammar schools, Nigel Genders told Tes: "We've been very clear that, because we think every child is important, we want to develop more schools that are meeting the needs of all pupils, irrespective of whether they've got high academic ability or not.
"How do we provide a school where there isn't currently enough education for the children in the area, and meet the pupils' needs? That's our priority. And that means opening schools for the whole community.
"It's about serving the needs of the many, not just the few."
Instead, he said that he plans to extend church schools' involvement in settings for pupils with special educational needs, by setting up special schools and alternative-provision units. And he is looking into opening schools with technical specialisms.
Mr Genders made his comments as the government was working on its detailed proposals for how new grammar schools will be introduced, after launching a Green Paper last year.
A chaplain 'benefits any school'
Mr Genders, a former school chaplain himself, also said that all schools – church or otherwise – would benefit from having a chaplain on the staff, to help to develop the different elements of pupils' characters.
"The provision of pastoral support for school communities is really important," he said. "Chaplaincy's a good approach to that. And our evidence is that schools that have got chaplains – they play a really vital role.
"I wouldn't want to draw a straight line between counselling service and chaplain, because it's a different approach. But the students talking to me knew that it wasn't part of their report, that it wasn't going to go back to their head of year. That feels important in this area of work – that you're a neutral voice. You aren't there as someone who's going to tell the teacher."
Mr Genders added that church schools prioritise the development of children more than secular schools do.
"I think sometimes we need to be more honest about what the different drivers are," he said. "One of the biggest drivers in the education world at the moment is economic prosperity. So everything is seen through the lens of, 'Is this going to help this child become a viable unit of economic prosperity?'
"That's important. But it's not the only thing that's important. We say, 'They also need to learn how to love their neighbour, and how to serve their community, and how to develop those dimensions of their character.' And that's our driver."

Are you a fresh graduate about to head into your very first job interview? Or perhaps you're someone who's rejoining the workforce after a long gap period in your professional career? Whichever the case, you should know that one of the secrets to scoring that job you're aiming for is to ace that first job interview. This means not only answering the questions that would pop up during the interview as honestly and as accurately as you can, but in such a way that it impresses your interviewer.
With that said, this is easier said than done, as many of the most common job interview questions are specifically geared to make you trip up and show the interviewer why they shouldn't hire you. After all, while they do need extra manpower, hiring someone involves a lot of time and investment on their end. They have to train you, get you up to speed on the work, and pay you your salary and benefits—as such, they have to do their part to make sure you're the best that they can get.
So to help you become that model employee in their eyes, we've assembled the most common job interview questions that you need to prepare for in the handy list below. Print this out and mull over the questions, even when you're just looking for jobs on a job search Philippines website, like Mynimo. You never know when an interview will come calling.
- Can you tell me about yourself?
This is the question that almost every interview you'll have in your life will begin with. It seems easy enough to take care of. What to do here is to not focus on yourself as a person, but rather as a professional. Start by giving a very brief summary of your education background, your employment history, and any very noteworthy achievements that you feel need to be highlighted (at least two or three). From there, relate your experience and expertise to the role you're applying for.
- Why do you want to work for us?
This is another trick question. While it's tempting to speak the truth – such as wanting for a bigger salary, or even just a salary at all—this is actually the company's way of seeing how passionate you are for the job, and that's through testing how much you know about them. So answer with that in mind. If you have other reasons that you feel also need to be expressed, such as a desire to work somewhere closer to home, or that you've always dreamed about working in their company, then mention them as well—but try not to gush too much.
- Why do you want this job or role?
This question is the same as above, except for the specific role you're interviewing for. Again, have a good handle on what the job entails, and try to bring your enthusiasm across the table without being forced or excessive about it. For example, if you're applying for a customer service job, then cite how much you like helping other people reach a favorable conclusion to their troubles or issues. If you're applying for a teaching job, say that you've always been passionate about teaching the next generation all they need in order to succeed, and such. Focus on key factors and you'll go far, definitely.
- What do you feel are your biggest weaknesses/weak points?
This is another big one. Obviously, you want to be as honest as possible, but at the same time you don't have to be that hard on yourself. For example, if you've always had a problem with keeping to deadlines, don't say that—say instead that you've had issues with time management early in your professional career, but you've been working hard in getting that resolved. Always minimize it while also saying that you are conscious about it and are taking steps to improve yourself. Interviewers who ask this question are looking not only for your honesty, but also your self-awareness. Bad habits can be rooted or trained out, but only if these bad habits are recognized.
- What do you feel is your biggest achievement?
This question is very easy to answer and quite difficult to screw up. However, it's always best to give yourself as much of an advantage as possible. Instead of regaling your interviewer with something like a contest that you won or something you managed to get, focus instead on a work-related achievement. It can be anything from getting promoted to a higher position in a short amount of time, or something that you did out of the box that helped your past company quite handily. Be proud, but at the same time make sure that the achievement you're sharing can help your prospective employer in their decision-making process.
- Where do you see yourself in the future?
This is another question where it's okay to be honest and off-the-cuff, but it's better to be realistic. Think about where you logically want to be in this job, and if it's actually feasible. This question is asked so that the interviewer can gauge if you actually have realistic expectations about your job, and if you're being driven by ambition, both of which are very positive things. Just remember—be realistic! Don't be cheeky and say that you'll be the interviewer's boss in five years!
- Why did you leave your last job/why were you fired?
Never dump or complain about your last job when this question is asked. Not only do you have nothing to gain by doing so, but it'll put you in a very negative light as well. Instead, keep it simple and stick to the truth. If you left your job because the pay was too low, say so. If you had some trouble with your past co-workers and got fired for it, say that you had some disagreements here and there, but you recognize your own fault in it, and see it as a learning experience in your career. This signifies to them that you've grown past whatever caused the argument and are being professional about it. Remember, minimize the incident while also focusing on your own growth.
Never let yourself get caught unaware during a job interview
Job interviews can be nerve-wracking, especially if it's your very first job. Many of the questions that will be asked of you are designed to reveal your true colors and help them decide whether you're worthy or not. Thankfully, some of these questions are common enough that they can be prepared for. Keep the above listed questions handy and take the answers to them to heart—they can help you maximize your chances of scoring the job that you want.
