SEASON TICKETS BUY NOW - Affordable football at FC
FC United season tickets for the 2013/14 season are now on sale and supporters can order them on line, by phone or through the post.
Once again this year, our members have voted for a 'pay what you can afford' season ticket scheme, under which supporters get to place their own value on the price of a season ticket. The response to this scheme over the past four seasons has been excellent and the campaign has been an undoubted success, empowering supporters to take collective responsibilities for the finances of the club, recognising that some supporters were feeling the financial pinch, whilst others may be able to pay a little more.
Season ticket sales are crucial to the club as they enable us to budget more prudently and with more confidence and the income generated allows FC United to continue its policy of affordable football for all by maintaining the same gate price of £8 Adults, £5 concessions and £2 under 18s which we have done since 2009. This is something of which we are justifiably proud and something which we believe is unique at any level of the game.
Supporters will understand that we cannot afford to give season tickets away and like all clubs we need a degree of security so a minimum price for adults and concessions of £90 is requested. Next season the Northern Premier League is being expanded to 24 teams, which means an additional two home matches so we are therefore asking supporters to take this into account when deciding what to pay and to make a donation on top of the minimum price (see guide prices below). A small increase from each season ticket holder on what they paid last season will have a huge impact on the club's finances and enable us to maintain and improve our club structure as we go into our new ground.
Also, as an added bonus, we pledge that season ticket holders for the 2012/13 and/or 2013/14 season will be guaranteed a season ticket when we get to our new ground. Whilst the number of season tickets put on sale for the new ground has yet to be determined, the number will be limited by the need to retain a number of pay-on-the-gate admissions and away fans.
Details and guide prices for 2013/14 season tickets
- Season Tickets cover 23 home league games but do not include cup or play-off games.
So, 23 matches at £8 (adult gate price) equates to £184.00.
- Concession for the over 60s/unwaged will be the same as the £90 minimum for all adults, which is equivalent to £3.92 per match. Those supporters in this category are invited to make a further donation, if affordable.
So, 23 matches at £5 (concession gate price) equates to £115.00.
- The minimum price for Under 18s season tickets will remain at £21, equivalent to only £0.92 per match.
So, 23 matches at £2 (under 18s gate price) equates to £46.00.
In order to help us plan and budget effectively for the new season, we also would ask supporters to consider purchasing their season ticket as soon as possible.
Purchasing your season ticket online
Supporters can order season tickets online from our website here
(or follow the link via the front page of the website) to renew online.

J-Post: The cabinet decision to approve the release of some 200 security prisoners faced wide-spread criticism on Sunday.
"Instead of adopting a resolute stance against terrorism, the Kadima-Labor government continues to release hundreds of prisoners in return for nothing," said opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu. The Likud would "replace weakness with an uncompromising aggressive policy toward terrorism," he said.
Industry, Trade and Labor Minister Eli Yishai warned that the cabinet's decision jeopardized the chances of freeing captures IDF soldier Gilad Schalit.
Israel Beiteinu MK Yisrael Hasson said "the government insists on 'fixing' the damage it causes by inflicting significantly more damage," and that "a government that had not given in to Hizbullah and Hamas demands in the past would not have to give in to Fatah today by releasing prisoners in return for nothing."
Other right-wing MKs also blasted the cabinet decision, tying it into their recurring theme of a "government at the end of its road." MK Eli Gabai (National Union-National Religious Party) expressed outrage at the decision, saying the government was "defying common sense and the trust of Israeli citizens."
"This government, which has reached the end of the road both physically and morally, is releasing the prisoners in exchange for nothing, continuing to jeopardize Israeli citizens' security time and again," Gabai said.
"The government should be reminded that the homes of the terrorists who carried out the tractor attacks in Jerusalem have yet to be destroyed, and they are already hurrying to release the next tractor drivers," he said.
Likud faction chairman MK Gideon Sa'ar said the decision "crushes the public's faith that murderers and terrorists will receive their due punishment, and will harm Israeli citizens' security and the efforts to release Gilad Schalit. One can only imagine how the 'free' release of more than 200 terrorists will impact the level of demands that Hamas will put forward." Meir Indor and Dr. Aryeh Bachrach of the Almagor Terrorist Victims Association oppose the release and said Sunday that they would embark on a street campaign.
Indor took the Shas ministers to task for not taking a firm enough stance against the release and threatened to make it a campaign issue.
PA Prime Minister Salaam Fayad welcomed the gesture, but said Israel should release even more prisoners.
"This is a positive step," said a senior PA official in Ramallah. "But we are continuing to insist that Israel must release all the Palestinian prisoners from its jails. This is the only way to move forward with the peace process."
This is the last straw. The streets of Israel must assemble with a vigilante mindset. The government refuses to perform the primary responsibility they exist for at all: Protecting its citizens from the enemy. When this happens, the pact between the government and its people is effectively severed, and the rule of law belongs in the hands of the people to do what they must to survive.
Gangs need to be mobilized from community to community, village to village, to rise up and act. Agitation on the streets and mass civil disobedience should be organized. Soldiers and police need to be recruited to act on behalf of the people, against the will of the fraudulent government, to create order and mete out justice. The government must be rejected, the people must take charge, and the government must be toppled from the bottom up.
Arise Zion! Wake up! The time is now, and what must be done cannot be done by the government. The government is complicit with the enemy! Guilty of terrible crimes against you! Everything can be won or lost based on the will of the people. Take charge for yourselves, take law and order out of the hands of the enemy government, and lead the Zionist revolution out from within to bring peace, stability, and righteousness to the State of Israel!
If you are not for yourselves than who will be? And if not now, when? Rebellion Now!!

Wisdom | Purification | Transformation | Compassion | Meditation | Calming
Om Mani Padme Hum is the most frequently used mantra in Buddhism.
"The six syllables, Om Mani Padme Hum, mean that in dependence on the practice which is an indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech and mind into the pure body, speech, and mind of a Buddha."
- Dalai Lama
OM purifies EGO
MA purifies JEALOUSY
NI purifies PASSION
PAD purifies IGNORANCE
ME purifies GREED
HUM purifies HATRED
Tibetan Buddhists believe that saying the mantra (prayer), Om Mani Padme Hum, out loud or silently to oneself, invokes the powerful benevolent attention and blessings of Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion.
Spinning the written form of the mantra around in a Mani wheel (or prayer wheel) is also believed to give the same benefit as saying the mantra, and Mani wheels, small hand wheels and large wheels with millions of copies of the mantra inside, are found everywhere in the lands influenced by Tibetan Buddhism.

Wireless Security
January 18, 2018
Here are five ways you can make your network even more secure:
1. Right person, right place, right time
Let your network be its own bouncer and stop unexpected activity in
its tracks. Simplify the provisioning of network access to accelerate
security operations and consistently enforce policy anywhere in the
network. Classify traffic based on endpoint identity, not IP address.
This allows you to stop malicious actors from accessing your network
while easily meeting compliance goals.
2. Should that be happening?
Go beyond conventional threat detection and harness the power
of network analytics. Continuously monitor the network interior,
where sophisticated attackers often lurk undetected. Embed security
anomaly detection into the network element, using machine learning
for incident response and device-level mitigation. So you can
uncover and stop attacks that bypass the perimeter and infiltrate your
internal environment. And contain suspicious devices for remediation.
Cisco® Stealthwatch
3. Who goes where?
Simplify access control across wired, wireless, and VPN connections
by cascading policies down all types of access points with softwaredefined
security policies. Make it easy to maintain regulatory compliance
and policy segmentation. So you can reduce risks and contain threats
by dynamically controlling network access, assessing vulnerabilities,
and applying threat intelligence. Not to mention containing suspicious
devices for remediation.
4. Secure your branches
Protect your extended network with the same encryption, visibility,
and ease of management as your campus with Cisco Intelligent
WAN. Block attacks and get secure connectivity and threat defense
by taking advantage of VPN, firewall, network segmentation, strong
encryption techniques, and threat defense capabilities to help ensure
that your branches get the security you need.
5. Keep one step ahead
Safeguard your infrastructure, your web, and your mobile users
with flexible software licensing that delivers features that enable
you to defend your network in real time. At the same time it keeps
you informed of the latest threats, maintains networkwide policy
consistency, and troubleshoots security issues quickly. Be sure that
the software investments you make today will last into tomorrow with
portability and easy access to upgrades and updates. Learn More

Elvira Nabiullina, governor of the central bank of Russia, came up with that information while speaking to the parliament, the Duma, regarding current plans with cross-border finance. In response to a question from a parliament member who also represents Duma's financial markets committee, Nabiullina said that the Bank of Russia is not against the development of a gold-pegged cryptocurrency. However, she confirmed that the use of cryptocurrency would be within the scope of cross-border settlements and crypto would not take the upper hand in relation to fiat currency.
She added – "As far as settlements are concerned, we will consider your suggestion regarding what a cryptocurrency backed by gold would look like," Nabiullina stressed the importance of using national currencies for international settlements. At a meeting of the State Duma, she referred to successful use of national currencies in settlements under the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), where significant development was achieved with the strategy. The bank of Russia recently released a policy brief pointing at the benefits and pitfalls of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
The bank believes that CBDCs could boost the national economy by reducing transaction costs and being a safer and more liquid type of asset. The only drawback of CBDCs is the lack of anonymity as compared to fiat currencies.
What is going on inside
An advisor to the president of Russia expressed similar opinion and suggested that introducing a CBDC in Crimea might get more investors in the region while bypassing sanctions. Cointelegraph recently published positive news that Russia and Venezuela are trying to reach an agreement on closing trade settlements using both Ruble and the Venezuelan state-owned digital currency, petro (PTR).
In reality, although the governor's statement carries great importance as she represents one of the world's largest central banks, most of the high-ranked staffs of the bank are still sceptical towards cryptos, and therefore Duma's digital currency plan is unlikely to see the faces of light any time soon.
An administrator was quite straightforward regarding this matter – "We are generally opposed to cryptocurrencies being launched into our monetary system. We do not see the possibility that cryptocurrencies could act as monetary surrogates." To put it simply, the Bank of Russia is just carrying out its constitutional duties in studying the Duma's token plan.
But it is almost impossible to deny that the latest crypto related events in the lower house of Russia mark a milestone as those involved a central bank officially going through the motions of the development of a national cryptocurrency – one of the very few instances in the crypto economy's emerging history till date.
Possibility of crypto for a bloc
A recent buzz of developing standard crypto for the Eurasian Economic Union bloc also sounded in Russia. The deputy finance minister of Russia, Alexey Moiseyev, revealed in December 2018 that the country, along with the EEU's four other member states -Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, had agreed to discuss the development of crypto for the economic zone.
The minister's attitude was firm, and he called the project 'inevitable'. If everything works as planned, the crypto could be launched in 2020 or 2021. The initiative is being thought as part of Russia's response to the economic sanctions imposed by America in recent years.
The main objective of crypto development in the EEU is to achieve further financial independence and bypass dollar in their trade activities. For the time being, there has been no clear information on how the crypto will be developed like on what blockchain wand with what attributes.

Why have a website like this you may ask? The need for healthy sexuality education has never been more pressing. Children, teens and adults need a safe resource to get their sexual education from. The media, including pornography, is not the way.
This website comprehensively combines Church doctrine and resources, knowledge from LDS books like Sexual Wholeness in Marriage, And They Were Not Ashamed, A Better Way to Teach Kids About Sex, as well as current social science sexuality research, BYU and other professor teachings, and information from sites like www.teachingsexualhealth.ca.
"There is nothing unholy or degrading about sexuality in itself, for by that means men and women join in a process of creation and in an expression of love"- President Spencer W. Kimball
Knowing the doctrine and research behind healthy principles of sexuality will enable single and married members to…
- Strengthen marriages and families
- Avoid the entrapments of pornography
- Establish healthy boundaries when dating
- Have positive body image
- Abstain from premarital sex and be prepared for sexual relations in marriage
- Teach children and teens in an age-appropriate manner about sex
- Understand the beauty and importance of healthy sexuality
Sex is an important part of life- it's how we all got here and is the means for strengthening marriages. It is important to talk about openly before marriage.
With that in mind, this website is NOT going to cover sexual positions and techniques. It's main focus is to sacredly and clearly teach about what healthy sexuality is and what it is not.
Harper Defreitas is a current BYU Senior studying Human Development in The School of Family Life. She is passionate about Healthy Sexuality Education because she knows it changes lives.
She has had the privilege of learning from and doing research with leading Sexuality Education experts who teach at BYU: Jason Carroll, PhD, Chelom Leavitt, JD, MS, Laura Padilla-Walker, Phd and Cougar Hall, Phd. She is working to become a Sexuality Educator and Sex Therapist so she can teach, counsel, and enrich people's lives with this empowering knowledge.
I hope you can find peace, answers and clarification! Check out our FAQ or take our FREE content quiz that can help you know what topics you might need further clarification on.

Henry B. Eyring - Second Counselor in the First Presidency
Henry Bennion Eyring was born on 31 May 1933, in New Jersey. He grew up in a small branch of the Church that often met in a hotel room or in the Eyring home. Both of his parents were highly educated. His father, Henry Eyring, Sr., was a professor of chemistry at Princeton and earned numerous awards in his field. His mother was a graduate of the University of Utah and had pursued a doctoral degree. Elder Eyring's father was also a brother to Camilla Eyring Kimball, wife of former Church president, Spencer W. Kimball, thus making Elder Eyring a nephew of President Kimball.
Henry graduated with a degree in Physics from the University of Utah before entering the United States Air Force. The Air Force sent him to New Mexico. When he arrived he was called as a district missionary in the area and served almost exactly two full years. He then completed a Master's and Ph.D. in Business Administration at Harvard Graduate School of Business. From there he decided to teach and found a position at Stanford Graduate School of Business. He met Kathleen Johnson in 1961 and they were married in July 1962 in the Logan Utah Temple. In the following years, Henry B. Eyring continued to teach, served as an officer and director of Finnigan Instrument Corporation, founded and directed System Industries Incorporated (a computer manufacturing company), taught early morning seminary, and served twice as a bishop.
Henry B. Eyring was set apart as the second counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on 14 January 2018, after the First Presidency was dissolved upon the death of Thomas S. Monson and the calling of Russell M. Nelson as president of the Church. He was sustained in a Solemn Assembly on 31 March 2018. President Eyring served as the first counselor in the First Presidency of the Church from 3 February 2008, until 2 January 2018, with Thomas S. Monson as the prophet and president of the Church. He served as the second counselor in the First Presidency with Gordon B. Hinckley as president.
In 1971, Henry B. Eyring was inaugurated as President of Ricks College (now BYU-Idaho). While president, he also took the time to teach religion classes. The Eyring family grew to include four boys and two girls. After serving for five years as president at Ricks, Elder Eyring was asked to become deputy commissioner of the Church Educational System. Three years later he became commissioner.
In 1985, Henry B. Eyring was called to be in the Presiding Bishopric of the Church. He was then called to the Seventy and continued working as Commissioner of the Church Educational System. On 1 April 1995, Henry B. Eyring was ordained as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
On 6 October 2007, Elder Eyring was sustained as the second counselor in the First Presidency to fill a vacancy that occurred upon the death of President James E. Faust.

It's a crazy time right now, isn't it? The media machines of the internet, cable news, online forums, and everything in-between can be distracting. In this 24-hour news cycle and our own business, how can we stay focused on what matters? How can we let go of what doesn't?
That's what I want to explore in today's post.
The amount of information available in today's world is overwhelming. We can find information and stories about any topic imaginable on the internet. We can validate and confirm whatever view we have on that topic.
Somehow, marketers find their way into our inboxes and on our cell phones. Have you noticed how many more robocalls you're getting on your cell phone? I have. It's probably two or three a day minimum. I don't answer these calls. If they don't leave a message, I'll call back to see what's up.
One of two things happen. I get a message saying it's a nonworking number. Or I get a robo answering machine. I block all of those numbers. The next day, I'll get a call back from another number. When I call back that number, I get the same robo message I got from the number I blocked yesterday. It's freaking maddening!
It's also distracting.
With all of this going on around us, how do we stay focused on what matters to us? Have you thought about that? Are you spending time on what you value? Have you written down what's important in your life? Do you know your "why"?
If not, keep reading. I want to offer some suggestions on how to find out what matters and stay focused on those things.
Our financial goals and our purpose
We set financial goals all the time. Some of us use spreadsheets or budgeting apps to track our expenses. Most of us contribute to (or maximize) our 401(k) plans and IRAs. We have an emergency fund and plan for vacations. We run the numbers on how much we need to have the kind of retirement we desire. Many of us use the 4% rule as our benchmark. All of these things are important in planning for our future. Along the way, we should adjust and modify our plans as circumstances change.
I've said it many times on this blog and to the clients I advise. If your plans don't line up with your values and your life, it will be hard to stick to those plans. We may be easily distracted and thrown off course.
In my know your "why" post, here's the definition I included.
I also said that money is not the best motivator:
Which brings us back to the focus of the post – what matters to you?
Top Five Requests of Dying You Won't Hear
Finding what matters
If you haven't thought about or formally written down what matters to you, here's how you can find out. Ask yourself these three questions:
- What do you think about?
- How do you spend your money?
- How do you spend your time?
You'll find evidence of what matters to you in the answers to these three questions.
Why? What we think about will reveal itself in how we spend our time and money. If we say the family is important to it should be easy to see that in how we live. Do you think about work when you're at home? Worse, do you bring work home with you?
Do you say your kids are most important to you? If so, are you at their sporting events? Are you home from work in time for the family dinner? Do you even have a family dinner?
If you think about your family and kids a lot but don't adjust your life to be with them, that's a mismatch in what you say is important and what your actions show is important. If the family is what matters most to you, your actions need to match that.
I'm not trying to be the hall monitor here. I've had to reexamine my own life in this area too. There was a time when I talked about how important family was to me. And it was and still is. Unfortunately, my actions didn't match that reality.
How I learned
When we lived in Indianapolis the first few years of our marriage, I was the volunteer extraordinaire. I was a deacon and then an elder at our church. I ran the largest benevolence outreach program for that church. During the week before Christmas, we brought a month's worth of groceries, clothing, household items, and other needs to some of the largest and poorest families in Indianapolis. We served over seven hundred people. I was on multiple other committees. We volunteered as youth advisors as well.
I was patting myself on the back and full of pride in all I was doing for people. Here's the problem. I was gone most nights during the week. At least two to three nights a week I was at the church or in the city doing something. My wife and my son were not getting the time and attention they deserved from me. I was too busy serving others and ignoring my own family.
My awakening
My schedule was running me ragged. I started feeling a fluttering in my chest. It wasn't constant. But when it came, it was pretty intense. One of the men on one of my committees was a doctor. He took my pulse one day and told me (without hesitation) I had atrial fibrillation and needed to get to the doctor. Sure enough, that's exactly what I had. I was on medication for about six months to treat it. Fortunately, it was not permanent.
What I learned during that time was that my lifestyle was the biggest contributor to the atrial fibrillation. I was drinking coffee pretty much all day and a couple of glasses of wine at night. Needless to say, that interrupted my sleep pattern. I tossed and turned most nights. I was not getting the kind of sleep I needed.
It was a wake-up call for me. I modified my behavior (a lot less coffee and wine, fewer committees, better diet) and got back on track. I spent more time with my wife and son. That improved our relationship and reduced the stress for all of us, most of which came from my intensity. I'd like to tell you that I changed a lot after this. Though I did change, it took years before my actions matched what I said mattered to me the most.
Being thankful
The other thing I've learned over the years (the hard way to be sure) is the importance of being thankful. Doing this takes more work than it should. I attribute this to what I said in the beginning. The 24-hour news cycle makes it hard to focus on what matters to us. If we spend too much time on our favorite cable channel or internet news sites, it can cause us to become more negative. Let's face it, it's a lot harder to find positive news stories.
We need to adopt a thankful mindset.
Here are some ideas on how to develop a thankful mindset.
Steps to a thankful mindset
- Count Your Blessings – Despite the current problems, we have many blessings in this country. History tells us we have survived much, much worse than what we're dealing with now – a civil war, a debilitating economic depression, the Great Recession, and two world wars come immediately to mind. Compared to the rest of the world, all of us live in abundance. Most of us have good jobs, families, friends, homes, plenty of food, computers, smartphones, numerous choices for internet, TV and phone services. Often we one car for each driving member of the family. Many of us take vacations every year. We enjoy freedom and opportunity that have people from all over the world lining up to get their piece of the American Dream. We should be more thankful we live in a free land, full of flaws, but free.
If you're not currently volunteering, I encourage you to think about it. Writing checks to organizations is great, but it keeps us distant from the recipients of our generosity. There are plenty of opportunities. Volunteer at a shelter. Help families winterize their homes. Tutor a student who is struggling. Read children's books to an elementary class. Volunteer at an after-school program. Don't know where to start? Google volunteer opportunities for your town. You will find numerous options listed.
Don't make the mistakes I made when volunteering. Balance is the key.
Final Thoughts
Figure out what matters to you the most. Build your life and activities around those things. Take a timeout from the media blitz. Look up from your cell phones. See the people around you. Deepen the relationships that are important to you. How do we do that?
Focus on what matters most and ignore the rest.
Now it's your turn. What matters most to you? How have you become distracted? What can you do to get back on track?

what others are saying about The Orange Learning Collective…
Being a part of the Orange Cohort has been a transformational experience for the Family Ministry of Christ Fellowship. Having dedicated, guided time to process and think about 'what could be' has helped us create clarity, establish a common language, and build a scalable ministry plan focused on the family as a whole. Jeff and Sherry Surratt, along with the entire Orange team, have encouraged us and challenged us all along the journey. We are excited to experience the fruit of our time in the cohort. James Duvall, Family Ministry Pastor, Christ Fellowship Palm Beach Gardens
The Cohort has been like a road trip; an experience to get our key people in one vehicle, heading the same direction. Between the teaching provided and conversations with other ministry leaders, our team's mindsets and models for ministry were challenged. It has became the catalyst for our organization to tackle the conversation of a birth through young adult strategy. The investment of time, energy, and money will alter the eternity of thousands in our community. I highly recommend it to any church who is interested." Will Randall, Kids Pastor, Westover Hills Assembly of God
The Orange Learning Collective allowed our team to develop effective systems and cohesive strategies with confidence having received input from the Surratts and other Orange Leaders, as well as feedback from some of the most effective church leaders across the country. Taking time away from working in ministry to work on our ministry was a significant and essential return on our investment. Mike Weston, Kids Pastor, Northridge Church

No one likes being misunderstood, labeled, or judged simply because of their personal fashion style but that is exactly what happened with Amy — beginning in elementary school. Teachers who were more concerned about appearance rather than substance discouraged Amy through their wrong assumptions and negativity.
Amy came to TrinityPrep with a passion for art and fashion, which she still has. In our encouraging, positive learning environment she re-discovered her love of science and mathematics and soon began excelling in both. With teachers and faculty who saw her potential and encouraged it positively, Amy discovered the success that was always inside of her.
Having been accepted into her first choice of university, Amy is planning to major in engineering. We love her hair and fashion sense as well as her academic success.

Artificial Intelligence Could Identify Prostate Cancer Patients Likely to Relapse After Surgery, Study Reports
A pathology test that uses artificial intelligence could be used to examine prostate cancer samples and predict which patients are likely to relapse after surgery, a study shows. The test, called Precise MD post-op, is for patients whose disease has not yet metastasized, or spread to distant regions of the body. It automates a commonly used grading system for prostate cancer prognosis, called the Gleason score, by combining morphological and biomarker data into complex algorithms. "By refining diagnoses, we can guide patients toward the best treatment option and optimize care," senior author Carlos Cordon-Cardo, MD, PhD, chair of the Department of Pathology at the Mount Sinai Health System and professor of pathology, genetics and genomic sciences, and oncological sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine, said in a press release. The study, "Development and validation of a novel automated Gleason grade and molecular profile that define a highly predictive prostate cancer progression algorithm-based test," was published in the journal Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases. Surgery is often the selected treatment for patients with prostate cancer whose disease is still confined to the prostate gland. But despite its good prognosis, 25-30% of men will eventually see their disease return. Identifying which patients are likely to recur is of paramount importance in improvin

How To Choose A Programming Language
- February 26, 2014
- Posted by: Craig Chamberlin
- Category: Uncategorized
How To Choose A Programming Language
I'm an engineering student in IT. I have a basic idea of C and C++ but when looking for internships I found that most to the internships available on certain sites are related to Java and also have a long list of skill set requirements. Should I apply if I do not have knowledge in all of those areas?
You're on the same boat I was when I went to college learning how to choose a programming language. I went to college and I was a little frustrated because they did a really bad job keeping up with the times. The fact is C and C++ are procedural languages and they're very good at what they do. The problem with C and C++ is that even though they are procedural languages and they're very good at what they do, they require large amounts of overhead to get them to do anything.
This means that with C and C++ you're really narrowing your market for job opportunities significantly by going into them. In other words you're going to have to be a nitty gritty deep down in it programmer. As a result, you'll need to work for a company whose very interested in program security, stability and efficiency… which is becoming less and less common. More and more companies are learning towards leaner and more more flexible turnaround and adaptive programming languages such as Java. This is why you're seeing all the jobs pop up everywhere.
Remember Java is not operating system specific and right now developers are very nervous about writing software for C++ realizing they may not want too spend all the time and money writing the software if it's only going to work for a couple operating systems that support that kind of language. Unless of course they came up with the way to virtualize C and C++.
So the best advice I can give you when learning how to choose a programming language is to consider taking the fundamental knowledge you have from C and C++. It was not a waste. Thake those fundamentals and start looking into languages such as Java and Ruby, which is becoming popular. I wouldn't say it's mainstream for web development. Look for something very specific to your niche. What do you want to do? Do you want to program apps for phones? Do you want to program software for Windows? Do you want your programs to work on any operating system? Now is a good time consider what you want to do to actually jump in head first to a community that's doing exactly what you want to do.
I know you want internships. I understand the need for internships but you need to discover exactly where you want to be. It may take some time and some experience and some playing around for you know. But most of the internships, should you apply? If they want a specific set of skills that you have no experience in… Probably don't apply. If you think that you are capable of proving to them that you have enough fundamental knowledge to learn a new language then I'd say apply.
It depends on the nature of the job because more companies are interested in somebody who will learn than somebody who already knows. It just depends on the company, especially in internship positions. If you can prove to them that you are dedicated and committed to the company and what they do, and if they give somebody to you teach you how to do it, your gonna learn it in. In many cases that's enough to land the internship for the job… but you have to convince them of that.

Can PPK Lead a Viable and Productive Government?
Pedro Pablo Kuczynski won Peru's presidential elections earlier this month, by less than 0.3 percent of the vote. Can he govern effectively and what should be the focus of his government following his inauguration on July 28th?
President-elect Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (PPK) is by all accounts a successful man. He has extensive experience in public office. He is honest, democratic, and surrounded by qualified people. However, he is in his late 70s, looks like an American, and does not easily connect with poor people. His campaign was chaotic. The question that arises is how he was able to defeat Keiko Fujimori, a candidate with a powerful political machine, ample resources, and who won nearly twice the number of votes as PPK in the first round of elections last April (Keiko won 40 percent of the vote and PPK only 21 percent). At the beginning of the campaign his prospects did not look good. By February, PPK was in a freefall and most polls put his level of support in the single digits. The candidate in second place at the time—Jaime Guzmán—was deemed ineligible by the electoral authorities, due to a technicality. Many of the votes for Guzmán shifted to PPK. Then, ten days before the first round, when PPK's polling numbers seemed stagnant, the surprising strength of the candidate of the radical left—Verónika Mendoza—frightened the middle class. These people mobilized to defeat Mendoza and ensure PPK's place in the second round. The results of the second round on June 5th were decisively influenced by the broad civic movement, "No to Keiko," which opposed the possible election of the daughter of the imprisoned former dictator, Alberto Fujimori. This sentiment grew even stronger in the face of revelations that her candidacy was funded by several people under investigation for drug trafficking. In essence, PPK did not so much as win as Keiko Fujimori was defeated, by the extremely narrow margin of less than half a percentage point (50.12 percent for PPK vs. 49.88 for Fujimori). However, the informal coalition that formed to say "No to Keiko" has fallen apart and many of those who supported PPK to impede Keiko's election have already announced that they will be in the opposition to his government. Adding to the complex panorama is the fact that Fujimori has a large majority in the Congress (73 of 130 seats), while PPK has just 18 and little chance of making permanent alliances to expand that number. Even the radical left has more members in Congress than does PPK. Under such circumstances, will it be possible for PPK to govern effectively and in a reasonably popular way? It will not be easy, but it is not impossible. In PPK's favor is that fact that the Peruvian economy, despite its weakening by the fall of commodity prices, continues to grow; Peru's is one of the most solid and dynamic economies of Latin America. Given PPK's extensive experience in economic management, there is a justified expectation that his victory will translate into higher levels of growth in the coming years.At the same time, and while it is impossible to change the current balance of power in the Congress, it is possible to make a wide appeal to honest and qualified people to join his Cabinet. It will also be important to identify as priorities issues that already enjoy a broad consensus: among the more notorious, the fight against crime, the reform of the political system, the improvement of state capacity--to make it more efficient and closer to closer to the population—and meaningful and effective efforts to combat corruption. Well managed, these reforms could solidify a broad consensus in society and even force the Congress, which is also in need of legitimacy, to support them. What is clear is that PPK cannot afford to be as unpopular as his recent predecessors; given his precarious position in the Congress, he would become extremely weak and isolated. The popularity that he must consolidate should and cannot emanate from politically-expedient populist measures, but rather, from a real commitment to the reforms outlined above. This will not be easy and making progress on all these goals will require a great deal of political skill. Nonetheless, and despite the difficulties ahead, there is hope that a president with PPK's experience and qualifications will improve the quality of Peruvian politics in a way that begins to match its economic performance.

High speed public rail transport to the Central Coast will be an in-depth topic of discussion at the next meeting of the state's leading development industry body, the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) NSW.
In the lead-up to the Federal election, both the Coalition and Labor have expressed renewed support for faster rail and high speed rail to connect the regions of NSW to capital cities.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of UDIA NSW, Steve Mann, said the UDIA supported faster connections for the regions as a clear pathway towards global competitiveness and delivering greater options for housing affordability.
The topic will be explored in depth at the UDIA NSW Regional Cities Summit to be held on Thursday, May 2, the Pullman Magenta Shores Resort, Magenta.
Speakers on the rail issue will include Transport NSW's chief transport planner, Tim Raimond, and Sydney University's Chair in transport and supply chain management, Dr Rico Merkert.
Mann said the UDIA had been calling for fast rail as part of a Sydney Region Conurbation of five cities, Newcastle and Gosford in the north and coastal and inland centres in the south.
"This greater connected region has the potential to support a population of more than seven million within 20 years if we commit to fast train public transport," he said.
"UDIA is excited that the major federal parties are seriously discussing high speed rail as part of the impending federal election.
"It is important that any future high speed rail does not bypass regional cities, which would benefit greatly from improved access into the country's capital cities.
"These measures would also support the government's recently announced population settlement plan by improving access to the regions for new international migrants, and would provide the much-needed access for international students at regional universities," Mann said.

Can i change my opencart version of 18.104.22.168 to 2.0.x......if yes how to do that
Wed Oct 18, 2017 6:12 pm
Why do you want to change?
Opencart Developer - My Extension Showcase
Contact me at email@example.com
Simple: OC 3.x is still bleeding edge and not totally stable. It's not yet suitable for general users. Also, 2.x probably has a lot more available in the way of extensions and support, being long established.
I don't think there's any "downgrade" path available. It will take a manual installation of the old software, and a manual database conversion.

Join us as we count down our 5 Biggest Shocks of Euro 2016, hours before the Final Kicks Off between France and Portugal.
5. Harry Kane
Many thought that Harry Kane would be a key figure in England's Euro 2016 Campaign. Many were right to believe that, after the Spurs Forward scored 25 League goals last season as Spurs emerged as Challengers to Leicester's unlikely Title triumph. Euro 2016, for whatever reason just was not Harry Kane's tournament. Whether it was due to burnout after playing so many games for Spurs last season, or just being terribly out of form, Kane's performances were a far cry from the performances that won him the Premier League's Top Goalscorer. Kane was virtually anonymous in the games he played, attracting attention only for the baffling decision for him to take set pieces. Kane will bounce back from this disappointment, and will become a better player for it.
4.Portugal making the final (Despite Only Winning One Game In Normal Time)
This is not to discredit Portugal and their efforts, but to make the final of Euro 2016 by winning just one game in Normal Time is something that is shocking. Portugal qualified Third from their Group after Drawing their opening 3 Games, meeting Croatia in the Round of 16. They needed a Goal late in Extra Time by Ricardo Quaresma to help them through, whilst they beat Poland on Penalties in the Quarter-Finals. Their one and only win was their Semi-Final victory over Wales, with goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani putting them through to tonight's Final against France.
3. Heroic WalesWales making the Semi-Final was not only a shock, but one of the Highlights of the whole Tournament. Read our most shocking moments of Euro 2016 Here: Click To Tweet. They topped their Group, finishing above England despite suffering a late Defeat to them. They met Northern Ireland in the Round of 16 as a result, winning 1-0 to progress. By far their most impressive performance was against Belgium in the Quarter-Finals, as they were to run out 3-1 Winners. Although they went down 2-0 to Portugal in the Semis, Wales should not feel disheartened. Their performances will long be remembered by Wales fans, and rightly so. After qualifying for their First International Tournament for 58 years, nobody could of expected them to have done this well. This could just be the start for Wales, and they will surely be confident of getting to the 2018 World Cup and making an impression their too. The spirit, selflessness and solidarity that Wales played with and displayed was great to view, and every single member of their squad can be proud of their efforts.
2. Iceland
It was well documented that Iceland were the smallest Nation at Euro 2016. For that reason alone, People were quick to label them as potential whipping boys of their Group, but they proved everybody wrong. 1-1 Draws with Portugal and Hungary, before a 2-1 win against Austria saw them Qualify from their Group. That was amazing in itself, but Iceland weren't done there, as they knocked England out in the Round of 16. Their Quarter-Final Defeat against France may of left a sour taste in the mouth to most nations, but Iceland players Hero Status had already been secured long before that 5-2 Loss. They may not of been pretty to watch, but their story was truly beautiful to behold.
1. Fan Violence
For a country that had just suffered a terrible attack a few months before Euro 2016, it was anticipated that security was going to be ultra tight and as a result Euro 2016 would go without problems. However, the first few weeks of the Tournament were nothing but chaotic, with incidents of Fan violence commonplace. There was an incident at the end of the England V Russia game were Russians stormed the England fan section, horrific footage uploaded of people being attacked whilst on the floor, and flares being set off during several games. Fan violence is always shocking, but it was even more shocking given the circumstances.

Nine of England's medal-winning badminton squad from the Commonwealth Games have been seeded for the upcoming 2018 European Championships in Spain – whereRajiv Ouseph and Chris and Gabby Adcock will be defending titles.
English badminton won six medals, including two golds, on the Gold Coast – the sport's best medal haul from a Commonwealth Games since 2002.
But such is the intense schedule on the world tour there is no time to look back on a job well done Down Under for England's badminton stars as attentions immediately turn to European competition, now just 8 days away in Huelva, Spain.
Chris and Gabby Adcock, crowned Commonwealth king and queen of Mixed Doubles, have been top seeded as they look to retain the European Mixed Doubles crown won 12 months ago. The Adcocks are joined in the draw by Marcus Ellis and Lauren Smith – the Mixed Doubles silver medallists in Australia – who are seeded three.
Ellis won gold, silver and bronze on his Games debut and is paired with Chris Langridge once again as the new Commonwealth Games champions go in search of more glory. The Rio 2016 Olympic bronze medallists are seeded fifth in Men's Doubles.
Reigning European Champion Rajiv Ouseph is third seed for the Men's Singles event in which World Champion Victor Axelsen is expected to make his return to action following injury. Ouseph played 10 times in 9 days on the Gold Coast, collecting team bronze and a Men's Singles bronze following a gutsy medal play-off win against India's HS Prannoy.
Like Ouseph, Chloe Birch impressed in Australia with a string of fine performances against higher ranked opponents on her Games debut. Birch will continue to play singles at the Europeans and is also seeded eighth in Women's Doubles, alongside Jess Pugh.
Lauren Smith and Sarah Walker, England's national champions, are fourth seeded in the Women's Doubles draw.
Smith and Walker added 2018 Commonwealth Games silver on the Gold Coast to the European bronze medal won a year ago in Kolding, Denmark.

When training for events and to increase fitness I have found one of the most important elements is a support network. For me I would say this is invaluable.
My support includes the following:
- My cycling club Romford CC
- My secondary cycling club Hornchurch CC
- My running club Havering '90 Joggers
- Members of a local triathlon club (although I am not a member) Havering Tri
- And of course friends and family
I can say with absolute certainty that whilst I am not at the end of my fitness and weight loss journey that I would not have achieved what I have to date without the support I received.
They have all been people who provided both emotional and practical help and were a tower of strength for me, especially when I was not feeling so strong myself, and I know are a group of individuals who all provide support for one another and will always help if they are able to.
Now I know many people do this alone and that is also possible but to give some examples of support I am referring to:
- My husband first and foremost who I am lucky is a cycling coach but also takes time out to ride and run with me at my pace to help me improve. He is also at every event I take place in and vice versa with me doing the same for him. He is also like my very own accountability partner as he knows what I am trying to achieve and can help encourage me along the way.
- Cycling club where there are too many to mention who have taken time to cycle with me and help me, and continue to do so, as I try and improve. An example is when my husband and his friend Tim were going to do the Ride London 100 mile bike ride together in 2014 and decided they would ride with me instead, which was amazing. Not to mention my secondary cycling club who are just as supportive.
- Running club with many who welcomed me and the amazing interval sessions conducted by Dave.
- Local triathlon club that I am not actually a member of, though my husband is, but I am lucky that I have numerous friends in the club who have always offered support and advice when needed.
- Friends and family who I think for the most part just think I am a bit mental trying to do all this stuff – I probably am but then again the best people are! Especially Helen, Laura, Steve and Nikki who is just so positive and mental and I love them all.
- I can't forget the amazing Team Scrambled Legs who I have done obstacle runs with and who I am sure I would be left dangling on a 4 meter wall or face down in mud if it were not for their assistance.
- The amazing Nuclear Races family, especially Lisa, Tracey and Craig who have all helped me with hints and tips at their obstacle training sessions.
- And of course everyone who reads my ramblings on this blog – I've made virtual friends with several people who also offer encouragement which is amazing and really helps!
I can't recommend joining a club enough as it can make such a difference.
I know I don't look like your average sports person (I won't say athlete as definitely doesn't fit) and yes it can be hard when you tell people what you are training for and they look at you in complete disbelief but I am and I will and I continue to improve and will continue even more so.
Don't expect everyone to understand the journey you are on. Surround yourself with people who believe in you. Strive for progress and not perfection. Allow yourself to be a beginner as no one starts at the top – I made this mistake comparing myself to many people who have been running/cycling etc for years and wondering why I am not yet at their level. Most importantly don't give up and go and smash those goals!

This article relates to the CQC key question: Is your practice safe?
Do practices have to replace material curtains with paper curtains?
No. During a CQC inspection, we are looking for:
- curtains which appear visibly clean.
- a system in place to ensure that curtains are cleaned or changed at least once every 6 months.
The CQC does not specifically have guidance to cover curtains in a GP practice.
Our guidance states that a practice should follow The Health and Social Care Act 2008, Code of Practice on the prevention and control of infections and related guidance.
Within the code of practice, it states that GP practices should: 'Provide and maintain a clean and appropriate environment in managed premises that facilitates the prevention and control of infections.'
The code of practice goes on to state: 'The environmental cleaning and decontamination policy should specify how to clean all areas, fixtures and fittings.'
The guidance also points towards NPSA guidance on infection control which states that: 'Curtains/blinds should be visibly clean with no blood or body substances, dust, dirt, debris, stains or spillages.'
The guidance also states that curtains and blinds should be cleaned or changed six monthly.
Guidelines by the Infection Control Nurses Association state: 'There should be a procedure in place for regular decontamination of curtains.'
There is no guidance which states that a GP practice must have disposable paper curtains.
Simple pragmatic guidance based on best practice is:
- If disposable curtains are used, the date should be clearly entered and they should be replaced six monthly.
- If re-usable curtains used, they should be taken down and cleaned at 60 degrees at least six monthly and immediately when soiled.
- They should be vacuumed weekly as part of the general cleaning schedule.
- They should be well maintained, free of tears and clear of the floor.
