5 South Jersey Ways to Spend $800M Powerball Jackpot
With Saturday night's Powerball jackpot now up to a mind-blowing $800 million (and expected to go even higher,) it's hard to comprehend just how much money that actually is.
To help, we've come up with some ridiculous and awesome ways you could spend the cash here in South Jersey.
This assumes that you take the cash option of $496M, winding up with a conservative (and very approximate) $297.6 million AFTER taxes.
- 1
9,020,915 3-lb. boxes of Fralinger's Salt Water Taffy
That's a lot of candy. Maybe save some cash for a good dentist.
- 2
5 rides per week on the Ocean City boardwalk Ferris Wheel for the whole summer...for 4 YEARS...for everyone in Atlantic, Cape May, and Cumberland Counties
(This is valid while tickets are half price, of course.) Talk about making your head spin!
- 3
2-24 oz. Wawa coffees PLUS a 10 inch hoagie everyday for the next 50 years...for you and 1833 of your closest friends
Sign me up!
- 4
Seasonal beach badges for all of South Jersey for the next 18 years
Depending on your beach, of course, but you could afford to give the entire population of Atlantic, Cape May, and Cumberland Counties a season pass to the sand.
- 5
The 6 most expensive houses in Atlantic County, 6 most expensive houses in Cape May County, PLUS the 8 overall most expensive houses in NJ
That's right, you'd be able to buy 20 of the ritziest homes in the state...and still have $16 million leftover to pay for the property taxes.

Of paper wings
your eyes are searching
underneath white starched shirt
is your wild heart
no one hears it but you
pulsing river tide
hungry for smell of freedom
wide-angled as blue vein sky
and when the night
fragments your chest to water
ask the bird for feather bone
ask the moon for verdant light
somewhere a corn stalk is ripening in its time
you have wings
paper-light, fashioned out of tiny scars
the mirror doesn't show it
but you are beautifully
made, always

the imagery here is gorgeous, just like the photo... love how you mentioned those scars the mirror doesn't show; the times where we fail and get knocked down are apart of our character as well.

5 Ways SEO Long-Form Content Can Boost Your Rankings
When I first started blogging no one ever told me that my posts needed to be long-form. I thought that as long as I wrote blog posts that were at least 300-400 words, I was okay.
Today many practices (Chiropractors, Dentists) and business owners, in general, think that's true. Well, I'm going to have to burst your bubble.
Your approach to content marketing and search engine optimization (SEO) must be more strategic than ever in 2018, and embracing long-form content is one of the best things you can add to your strategy. SEO and ranking studies find that time and time again, longer content in the range of 1,500 to 2,600 words tends to outperform shorter blog posts.
That's why you will see long-form content being used on this site.
Why does long-form content perform better?
When you understand the traits that help long-form content excel you can tailor your content creation approach with the proper mindset.
Consider this. When people search on Google, it's Google's job to provide the best answer to the question you type. The same holds true if you are using specific keywords.
When Google sends you to that page, they want to make sure the page is providing value and taking care of the users' needs.
If you have a post with 300-400 words and your competitor has 1,000 words which blog post do you think is going to answer the question in detail? Obviously the long-form blog post. Which blog post will the reader find beneficial? The long-form post of course!
So, to help you pivot your content marketing strategy to include long-form content formats, here are five SEO benefits it can provide that increase your potential to earn higher rankings.
Long-Form Content Gets Engagement That Serves as a Strong Ranking Signal for Search Engines
Over the past 20 years, the internet has come a long way. In the beginning, many of the websites looked similar. For instance, when I started my photography and videography business, all the sites had a black background with white text.
Today there's a huge gap between the types of websites that earn the most traffic versus ones that quickly turn people away.
Well constructed authoritative websites display high-quality content. As a matter of fact, content is considered king. Every new piece of content supports the image of your brand. That being the case as a writer I go the extra mile for my clients which usually leads to more in-depth topic coverage.
Put simply: content quality and content length tend to be strongly correlated. The more content people can dig into, the stronger the ranking signals that get sent back to Google.
According to one of the most comprehensive SEO ranking factor studies available, search engines weigh engagement signals heavily when deciding which websites to rank first.
Google naturally wants to pick a site that people seem to enjoy. Having a large volume of visitors who read multiple pages, spend a lot of time on the site and rarely hit the "back" button all serve as indicators that people are having a good time and appreciating the quality of content the site provides.
In this way, creating great long-form content rewards you with eager engagement that can later reward you with a boosted ranking presence.
Long-Form Content Can Cover More Bases Than a Short-Form Blog Ever Could
If, for example, you wrote a guide about selecting a used car, a short blog post would gloss over many of the most critical deciding criteria. On the other hand, a longer blog post will dive more deeply into each area. The extra time and attention reveals a greater complexity to the information, allowing people to make better decisions.
Having multiple paragraphs about inspecting for body damage gives people more tools to make a smart decision compared to a throwaway sentence advising you to "check for rust and signs of damage."
Approaching content from this direction means that you cover a broader variety of topics in a way that can answer more people's questions. As a result, you can earn more links and shares.
When you have long-form content, you are educating your readers. You are also positioning your business as a resource site for answers. The more you show you know your industry, the more people will trust you and choose you over the competition.
That's what we do when we write your long-form blog post. We position our clients as the expert and logical choice to solve the needs of those who are online looking for solutions.
Links from authoritative domains are one of the strongest ranking signals. If you can write content that earns consistent links because it does a great job of explaining important concepts or describing things well, you are more likely to rank higher.
Perhaps more importantly, you are expanding your potential to appeal to more people.
Let's go back the car analogy. Say, for instance, that someone is in the market for a classic car and they want advice on how to inspect for the type of damage that happens cumulatively over thousands of miles. An in-depth used car buying guide could easily touch on those essential concepts.
Or, say you have someone who wants to buy a newer SUV. The same guide could explain how to compare prices in general so that people can find the best deal.
In this way, long-form content can achieve broader appeal and provide more universal value, which effectively multiplies your opportunities for engagement, shares, and traffic.
Longer Blog Posts Provide More Metadata for Search Engines to Index
This one is simple: longer blog posts leave a more significant data trail for search engines to latch onto.
You gain more opportunities to mention contextually related long-tail keyword phrases. You also increase your chances of creating internal links to your content upon an appropriate anchor text phrase.
On top of that, search engines simply get more text to "grab" onto. You may have noticed that summary descriptions on search engine results pages (SERPs) have gotten longer. That's because devices have gotten better, and search engines like Google realized that people prefer having more information up-front before they click on a link.
Similarly, search engines are churning out "featured snippets" at a higher rate. These exceptional results take information from a piece of content, highlight the most crucial phrase or graphic, and return a SERP result that is both larger and more graphically appealing than the average text-only result.
Earning a featured snippet has become very important in an era of increasing mobile search, and all but essential as voice search grows in use. When someone performs a voice search on their smartphone, often the featured snippet is the only result they encounter.
Writing longer posts provides more "meat" within your content for search engines to pull these snippets from, making you more likely to become a highlighted website in an era where being near the top of results is more critical than ever.
Writing in Long Form Forces You to Think About Argument and Structure, Resulting in Better Work
Expanding your typical content word count beyond 500 words forces you to become a better writer. You'll end up paying more attention to your craft.
You'll also be forced to organize your content and structure it so that people aren't being forced to read giant blobs of text. That approach often means you'll rely more upon:
- Topic subheadings
- Images
- Graphics
- Shorter paragraphs
- Lists (like this one!)
- Other navigation tools, such as a table of contents
All of these suggestions can turn a 2,000-word blog into a post that is very easy to skim. People in it for the long haul can digest the entire article rather quickly. Those who wanted to read the article to get just the juiciest bits of information can skip to the part most relevant to their interests.
In many instances, working in a long-form format demands more creativity. You end up thinking about how to reframe the subject matter so it will be extremely interesting.
When IBM wanted to talk about their significant data capabilities, for instance, they decided to resort to storytelling rather than cold, hard facts. To accomplish this, they covered how their data analytics capabilities helped a specific police department solve all of their pain points.
"IBM understood that producing a bland, corporate puff piece wouldn't win them any customers or pique people's curiosity about predictive data analysis," observes WordStream. "Most people don't care about how the technology works – they're more interested in what it does. By showing how its technology had a direct impact on the lives of Memphis citizens, IBM highlights the potential of predictive analytics and grounds the story in the lives and struggles of real people."
The good news is that you don't have to worry about creating long-form content because that's what we at Toni Nelson Means Business do for you!
Advice for Adding More Long-Form Content to Your Ranking Strategy
The keys to creating good long-form content can be found in all of the above benefits we just listed:
- Think carefully about how you structure your posts so that they are digestible.
- Consider opportunities to frame your subject in a way that is inherently interesting.
- Rely upon graphics, subheadings, and design elements to break up your text visually.
- Research how you can add more structured data and markup so that search engines can index specific nuggets of information more readily.
- Try to cover all of your topic bases in-depth so that your content can appeal to multiple personas or the needs of your readers.
- Aim to make your content engaging and interesting so that you can earn better-ranking signals.
- Look to your own data as a signal for what content people seem to like and get the most value from.
At Toni Nelson Means Business we approach long-form content as a passionate journalist, publisher and industry insider. That works really well for you because the content we write positions you as the expert.
It's like this Neil Patel read my mind when he said: "Don't create content just because you think you have to. Create content because you want to provide your audience with expert advice on a given subject."
If you can put effort into your content that the subject matter deserves, then your audience—and, by extension, search engines—will sit up and take notice.
Don't have time to do that? Contact me Toni Nelson at 352-448-7019, and we'll talk about the right blog content for you.
Not to be forgotten is how long-form content can affect your ad campaigns. What do I mean? If you place an ad on Facebook, you are going to want to send people to long-form content they can consume. This content provides value and positions you as a trusted authority. It shows you know your industry inside and out.
Here's more food for thought According to Backlinko they said: "Based on SERP data from SEMRush, we found that longer content tends to rank higher in Google's search results. The average Google first page result contains 1,890 words." They also stated: "Content with at least one image significantly outperformed content without any images. "
Just imagine what having several pieces of long-form content when done correctly can do for your site ranking.
No doubt if you read to this point you might be wondering how exactly you can implement all of this. The good news is you don't have to. We can do it for you!
All you need to do is get in touch with me to get started today is call 352-448-7019

Delivering on the promise of relevance is a core goal for all marketers, but it appears that there are significant disconnects in organizations'' abilities to strategically execute on this across all integrated activities.
Marketers are too focused on the notion of creating content, and must better allocate their energy to developing a more focused strategy that aligns with content.
"If you think about strategy as defining the job of the content, then content published without a strategy has no job to do," warns Ardath Albee, marketing expert and author of the book Digital Relevance. "This reality is reflected in the high percentages of marketers who say their content marketing is ineffective. Getting people to view your content is nice, but getting them to take an action you want them to — a next step — is the critical piece. Just publishing content on its own doesn't accomplish this."
In her role as CEO of consulting firm Marketing Interactions, Albee works directly with companies facing this and other challenges. She offers tips from her real-world experience in the book, which outlines clear-cut strategies for developing customer-oriented communications, identifying the distinct value that differentiates your company, and making the shift from singular communications to a continuum approach that aligns outcomes to business objectives.
Albee took the time to share her additional insight based on the themes in Digital Relevance. The interview is below:
Amanda Batista: One of the book's introductory themes is centered on how marketers are creating content without attaching it to a strategy. This seems like an all too common problem. What is your immediate advice on how marketers to realign their thinking here?
Albee: For an immediate action, assess your content by answering the following questions:
How well you'll be able to do this will relate to how well you know your target audiences. You don't need to approach this as a total content overhaul. Work on making the connections a bit at a time. Revise the content to contribute to the momentum you're trying to establish, if necessary.
Keep track of the connections you're making and you'll begin to see the bigger story build. If the bigger story doesn't make sense or position the audience it was developed for as the hero of that story, then you know you've got work to do.
AB: In the book you call attention to the way companies approach "see also" content presentation on their web sites. How should marketers be thinking about the idea of dynamic content, and who are the key stakeholders in that strategic discussion (i.e. web and content teams)?
Albee: The typical web site is not organized in a buyer-friendly way. Typical navigation is a bunch of silos (i.e. products, solutions, services, resources, about, contact) that make viewers run all over the place trying to piece together the story. The effort is too high. The experience is fragmented.
Two ways to think about "see also" or a more dynamic and helpful experience is in the connecting the dots way I spoke about above and content hubs. Content hubs are a B2B marketer's version of choose your own adventure for buyers. A content hub displays the story a specific buyer needs to know to facilitate their buying process. The beauty of this approach is that with marketing automation and analytics you can identify specific paths chosen.
With either approach, if your content is developed to both inform your buyer about the problem-to-solution story and marketers about where buyers are in the process and what topics are of interest to them, then this information becomes a template and validation for the story being shared.
As for who is involved, the content strategist should be orchestrating the story. The content writers are developing the narrative of the story, the demand gen folks are overseeing execution and interaction development, and the web team is implementing or publishing the pieces of the story—along with the mechanics of the connections and calls to action.
AB: You emphasize the importance of personas as the "foundation for relevance in marketing". While many organizations do have personas, they sometimes have difficulty properly executing on them. Why is this and how do you advise companies to remedy this?
Albee: This is indeed a problem that I see presenting in several ways. First, companies that are siloed by division or product often have marketing teams creating personas independently from the other groups. This equates to multiple personas that are supposed to represent the same audience, but are not in alignment. The result is a disjointed story for the brand and a fragmented experience for the buyer/customer.
Second, I see companies where one division is more mature that the rest of the company and they set out to create personas on their own. So only they are using them. The results from this are similar to the above with the exception that one part of your company appears to know the buyer but the rest of the company appears not to care. That's not good.
The third thing I see is that marketers are creating personas as a checklist item and then filing them away. When I come across this and ask why, it's either that the personas were not executed well and marketers have decided to move on without them or that marketers truly do not understand how personas can be used to drive marketing strategy.
The remedy to the first and second issues is difficult as it's a company-wide issue. However, I have hope because a number of enterprises are creating content centers of excellence which will pull everything under one umbrella. It's a change process that requires buy-in and executive support. What hinders this is that executives often have less understanding of personas than marketers do. This needs to be remedied.
The remedy to the third is to make sure you have in-depth personas that provide insights about buyers from status quo through choice to buy. One of the strongest elements of buyer personas can be the questions a buyer would ask at each step of the process. If you have content that answers them in a way that's relevant to the specific persona, fantastic. If you don't, then that's where you start. The other thing that helps to use personas to drive strategy is to develop engagement scenarios. Base scenario development on answering questions like these:
Continue to ask "Then what?" until you make it through the buying process to choice. Don't overlook the times when other personas interact with the persona. In what ways can this help or impede their progress. Once you've got this scenario, put it in motion and monitor response to tweak and refine. There are infinite possibilities. Find the ones that work and continue to refine them. Remember to base your scenario development on what you learned about your persona — not wishful thinking.
AB: You make the case for the need to subscribe to a "digital marketing continuum" to help marketers migrate away from the campaign mentality. Can you speak to why "random acts of publishing" need to be replaced with a digital strategy?
Albee: Most buying processes take longer than campaigns. Campaigns start and stop. Is this what you want to happen to the momentum you're able to create with your prospects? No. It's not. So why would marketers want to intentionally halt buyers in their tracks and ask them to reconsider if their content is still a valued resource when one campaign ends and another begins? This is a construct for us. It allows us, as marketers, to put a neat little box around demand gen. But demand generation isn't neat and tidy.
There's a certain amount of information buyers need (each of them on the buying committee) in order to understand why the problem is significant, why they don't have the internal resources to solve it on their own, how to get everyone to see one solution to the problem as a win, etc.
A continuum approach allows marketers to focus on building this bigger story, resulting in more downstream contribution to revenues. It's really about becoming so relevant and valuable to your prospects that the ideas you share become the anchor for how they think about solving the problem. When this happens, your salespeople get in more conversations and your competitors have to work overtime to try and unseat your company from the decision process.
AB: The later parts of the book explore a refreshing take on the art of storytelling as it relates to marketing, including great examples of how brands should be positioning value to readers. Can you share some of your thoughts on telling targeted stories?
Albee: Stories are the key. What stops marketers is that they're usually not schooled in story development. With the continuum approach, think about it as serial storytelling – lots of chapters or pieces of the story coming out over time.
Your prospect must be the hero of the story. This is not optional. Your prospect has a goal and sets out on the path to reach it. Along the way, she discovers that she doesn't have all the knowledge she needs to reach her goal. She seeks to learn the missing pieces, develop the missing skills. Along comes your company/content to mentor her and help her achieve her goals.
But, she meets obstacles along the way, such as naysayers that keep her from reaching consensus or implementation concerns or questions about whether users will really adopt the solution. Your content, and eventually salespeople, help her to overcome these obstacles and get the committee to consensus. She chooses your solution to achieve a successful outcome. (Happy Ending)
You can overlay nearly any story onto that framework and see how it comes together. It's loosely based on Joseph Campbell's methodology as developed by Chris Vogler for The Hero's Journey.
For each part of that framework, what content would you develop to get your prospect (protagonist) to the next chapter of the story?

£2.0 million raised through Sprott Offering

Metal Tiger Plc
("Metal Tiger" or the "Company")
£2.0 million raised through Sprott Offering
Metal Tiger (LON: MTR), the London Stock Exchange AIM listed investor in strategic natural resource opportunities, is pleased to announce that, further to its announcement of 11 February 2019, the non-brokered private placement conducted by Sprott Capital Partners LP ("Sprott Capital") and one of its affiliates, Sprott Global Resource Investments, Ltd, (together "Sprott") (the "Sprott Offering") has closed, raising gross proceeds of approximately £2.0 million via the issue of 137,162,552 new ordinary shares of 0.01p each in Metal Tiger ("Ordinary Shares") (the "Placing Shares") at a placing price of 1.45p per Sprott Share (the "Placing Price"). The Placing Price represents a premium to the middle market closing price on 8 March 2019.

Biometrics Required – Working Holiday Canada (IEC 2019)
September 12, 2018
Posted in News
IMPORTANT UPDATE (March 20th, 2020): Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the Government of Canada has announced that all-in Canada biometrics appointments are cancelled until further notice.
If you had already booked an appointment within Canada to complete your Biometrics for your International Experience Canada work permit application, you must have already received an email showing a cancellation with the appointment booked. No worries, this is only due to the COVID -19 situation worldwide. Your work permit application will NOT be denied if you can not complete the Biometrics within the regular 30 days, Canada is providing extra time to complete this step.
You will have to book a new appointment at Service Canada when they start collecting biometrics again (this date will be announced). Walk-in biometrics collection is currently NOT available at any Service Canada office.
You now have 90 days (instead of 30) to submit your biometrics for your Working Holiday, Young Professional or International Co-Op work permit application under IEC, for regular participants and for our Recognized Organization participants.
IMPORTANT: If you have an appointment OUTSIDE OF CANADA, at a Visa Application Centre (VAC) or a United States Application Support Center (ASC), check the VAC website or the ASC website and call them before you go.
Please follow the recommendations of the Government of Canada here.
Looking to come to Canada under International Experience Canada (IEC) for a Working Holiday, Internship or Young Professional permit? How about with a College Co-Op Program for Study & Work in Canada? In both cases, if you're planning to apply for International Experience Canada (IEC) 2019 or a study permit for Canada, you will want to read this update!
It seems that now you will need to complete biometrics to come to Canada with a work or study permit. What does this mean? We answer all the questions you may have in regards to biometrics and how it applies to the application process for 2019. If you are still having questions about biometrics, leave them below and we will do our best to find the answer for you!
Starting July 31, 2018, you may need to give your fingerprints and photos (biometrics) when you apply for a visitor visa, study or work permit, or permanent residence if you are from Europe, the Middle East or Africa.
Starting December 31, 2018 – applicants from Asia, Asia Pacific and the Americas will need complete their Biometrics. For IEC countries, if you are from Australia, Chile, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, or Taiwan and are looking to apply for a Canadian Working Holiday or any IEC work permit for Canada, you will also need to complete biometrics.
What are Biometrics?
Biometrics have now been implemented into the study and work permit application process in Canada in order for officers to confirm your identity better. This means that you will have to get your fingerprints scanned and photo taken at the closest VAC centre when you apply for study and work permit to Canada.
This includes your Working Holiday work permit or any other work permit under International Experience Canada, that from December 31st 2018 will be mandatory for any IEC work permit applicant, no matter where you are from!
How do I know that I need to complete my Biometrics?
Starting July 31, 2018, the biometric process applies if you are from Europe, the Middle East or Africa. If you are from Asia, Asia Pacific and the Americas the process will start Dec 31st, 2018 (IEC countries included: Australia, Chile, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, or Taiwan).
This means for IEC 2019 everyone will need to complete biometrics.
Approx. 24 hours after you submit your study or IEC work permit application and pay your application fees you will also pay for your biometrics Fee (CAD 85) and receive indications on your MyCIC account through a letter like this.
When do I pay my Biometrics and how do I pay for it?
Right when you submit your study or IEC work permit application. This means that the process will be exactly the same.
For example, if you are about to submit your working holiday application for Canada through MyCIC account, you will need to pay the regular fees (CAD 250) and an extra fee of CAD 85 for biometrics. You will need to pay both fees in order to submit your application and request your biometrics.
Can I get my Working Holiday denied during my Biometrics?
NO, this step will be done before an officer reviews your application. You can get your permit denied after, but not during the biometrics process. Alternatively, you can get it denied if you do not complete the biometrics—this is MANDATORY. You have 30 days after requesting your biometrics to complete them, so make sure you do so within that time frame.
The time it takes you to give your biometrics after being requested isn't included in the application processing time. For example, IEC processing time is normally 8 weeks, so if it takes you 3 weeks to get your biometrics done your 8 week processing time will start ONLY after you do your biometrics for Canada. This means, that the sooner you do your biometrics, the sooner your application will start to be processed.
Where can I take my Biometrics for my Working Holiday for Canada?
You will need to go in person to a visa application centre (VAC) and must schedule an appointment first for most of them. We highly recommend contacting them in advance especially if you are travelling to get your biometrics done, you want to make sure they can help you the exact day you are planning to go there. Once there they will scan your fingerprints, take your photo, and give you a receipt that biometrics have been completed, after that, your application will start to be processed.
What documents do I need to bring to complete my Biometrics?
You will need to bring your Request Letter (received on MyCIC account right after paying your visa & biometrics fees) and Passport. That's it!
Important: you need to receive your Request Letter in order to complete your biometrics for Canada.
What do I need to do once I complete my Biometrics? Do I need to submit any confirmation to CIC?
Nothing, now you can sit back and wait for your application to be processed. After you do your biometrics for Canada, you will receive a receipt that many times they stick to your Request Letter. Make sure you keep this receipt in a safe place in case there is any problem with your application, so you have a proof that you did your Biometrics. Most importantly, you don't need to do anything else rather than check your MyCIC account for updates. The VAC will connect your biometrics directly with your application, so just let's wait for the good news!
There is no VAC close to my city, what do I do?
Canada is working on opening more VAC locations for 2018/2019, but if you do not have a VAC close you will need to travel to complete your biometrics.
Also keep in mind that some countries have temporary locations, for example in Germany, there is only one VAC in the city of Dusseldorf, but Canada has opened a temporary office in the Canadian embassy in Berlin and Austria. Same has been done in France, Ireland and Norway. You can find more details here for the temporary VAC offices, find your closest one here.
I am currently outside my home country, can I do my Biometrics in another country?
Yes, you can go to any VAC – it doesn't have to be in your country of residence. You can check your closest VAC centre here.
Example: You are a permanent resident of France, you submitted a working holiday permit application already and paid the biometrics fee through MyCIC, but you have scheduled a trip to Spain right after so you will not have time to travel to closest VAC in France. You can travel to Spain and get your biometrics done in the VAC in Spain. The most important thing is that you complete your biometrics within 30 days that you got them requested, otherwise you will get your working holiday application denied for Canada.
Please keep in mind the residence requirements for your working holiday permit for your country of citizenship though, you can find those here in this link.
I am already in Canada and I need to provide Biometrics for my IEC work permit, where can I do this?
IMPORTANT 2019 UPDATE: Canada has now set biometrics locations within the country, so you can complete the Biometrics within Canada. This means that now you can complete the Biometrics from within Canada for your IEC work permit (Working Holiday, Young Professional or International Co-op).
Inland Canadian collection points ARE NOW AVAILABLE! Check details here
I already have my POE and I am planning to enter Canada, do I need to complete my Biometrics?
No, you are good to go! Next time you apply for a different permit for Canada you will need to complete your biometrics, these will last for 10 years.
I have a valid work permit/ study permit in Canada and want to extend my study or work permit, do I need to complete Biometrics in Canada?
No! If you are already in Canada with a valid study or work permit and want to extend your stay, then you don't need to complete biometrics until they establish service inside Canada. This means you don't have to worry yet, we will update you if anything happens during 2019.
How do I know when my Biometrics have been approved?
Once you complete your biometrics you will receive a letter like the one below, confirming your biometrics are complete! This document tells you when your biometric information is valid until, 10 years after the letter date.
That is everything you need to know about biometrics and the new update to apply for IEC 2019! Please share your questions or experience below!
Are you planning to come to Canada during International Experience Canada (IEC) 2019, for an internship or a working holiday experience? We can help get that started and secure your internship or work experience in Canada!

Martin's Park at the Smith Family Waterfront Opens
Martin's Park at the Smith Family Waterfront officially opened to the public on June 15, 2019.

Richard, the youngest victim of the Boston Marathon bombings.
"We are proud and excited to help bring this gift of a world-class park to Boston in memory of Martin Richard. We are inspired by the courage and resilience of the Richard family and believe this park is a fitting tribute to their son. We want to thank the Parks Department, Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, and the Richard family for their incredible work to make this vision a reality. It has surpassed our every expectation. We look forward to sharing this park with our children, grand-children, and children from across the city and the region for years to come." -Debra Smith Knez, Co-Chair

Sitting and standing at work
Sedentary behaviour, including prolonged and static sitting and standing at work, is of growing concern to workplaces and workers because of its potential negative effects on health and comfort. IWH research explores the association between prolonged sitting and/or standing and chronic illnesses, musculoskeletal disorders and premature death, as well as prevention guidelines that will reduce these effects

A headline today has proclaimed that standing at work is "as unhealthy as a cigarette a day," citing a new study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology. Illustrated with a picture of a woman bent over her standing desk clutching at her back, we're instructed to "sit back down." But a closer look at the research in question reveals very little to do with standing desks. In fact, the study did not look at standing desks at all, writes Suzi Gage.
Published: The Guardian, September 2017
Research Highlights
Prolonged standing on the job associated with higher risk of heart disease than prolonged sitting
Workers who predominantly stand on the job are at greater risk of heart disease than workers who predominantly sit. Workplace prevention efforts should target excessive standing, as well as excessive sitting, to protect the cardiovascular health of workers.

"Gut to Data"
A few weeks ago, I was loaned a phrase by a new friend of mine that will become a mainstay for how I describe the aging workforce in the energy sector: "gut to data."
It perfectly captures what's going on at the ground-level in the industry and explains the goal of efficiency without being threatening.
The last part of that clause is important — "without being threatening." For many, especially those who haven't been surrounded by technology their entire lives, software equals replacement and their intuition is the original form of proprietary data.
As a result, buy-in at the individual level becomes crucial to the success of any new software implementation — something I've written about here.
According to a January 2017 assessment by the Department of Energy, 25% of US employees in electric and natural gas utilities will be ready to retire within 5 years. The Department of Labor also estimates that up to half of the current energy industry workforce will retire within the next 10 years; meanwhile, the average age of industry employees is now over 50.
As high levels of retirees take with them industry experience, it will be crucial for utilities of all sizes to conduct a massive transfer of industry knowledge to new employees or servers. This isn't news to anyone in the sector.
These changes could potentially create skills gaps for the industry's workforce, which is compounded by existing recruiting challenges in attracting appropriately trained and qualified employees.
This shift is something I've thought about but never in a codified way. Rather than trying to value one over the other, I wanted to think about a process that turns intuition into data without being threatening to employees and still improves decision-making when combined with today's technology. This approach gives the best of both worlds, here's how it could work:
- Utilities shouldn't pit intuition against data: Intuition and big data can exist together, especially if utilities actively create teams that combine people from different schools of thought.
- Intuition is the "gut check" to new potential insights: Data analysis can bring new issues to the forefront or provide context for existing problems. Intuition helps gauge if those discoveries make sense.
- Experience still matters: Cultivating intuition means the ability to detect patterns and connect data in ways that can be a huge competitive advantage. Data can check these hypotheses providing hard evidence when intuition uncovers new ideas.
- The data and knowledge are accessible and transferable - Employees must be able to access data quickly and easily in ways that make sense. More than ever, departments like marketing, customer service, and operations should be able to share knowledge in ways that increase customer satisfaction.
Big data is here to stay and will continue to play a growing role in the power sector. As the workforce turnover accelerates, it will be important to balance experience with data and realize each method brings unique perspectives that can be valuable tools in decision making.

We're binding to virtual adapters as well. I don't remember the exact examples, but I'm sure there are virtual adapters that should be bindable. In any way this should this should not result in system hang. I'll try to reproduce your hang on the system with RRAS.

'In recent decades, as more Jews have adopted plant-based lifestyles, Jewish vegan and vegetarian movements have become increasingly prominent. This book explores the intellectual, religious, and historical roots of veganism and vegetarianism among Jews and presents compelling new directions in Jewish thought, ethics, and foodways. The contributors, including scholars, rabbis, and activists, explore how Judaism has inspired Jews to eschew animal products and how such choices, even when not directly inspired by Judaism, have enriched and helped define Jewishness. Individually, and as a collection, the chapters in this book provide an opportunity to meditate on what may make veganism and vegetarianism particularly Jewish, as well as the potential distinctiveness of Jewish veganism and vegetarianism.'
Edited by Jacob Ari Labendz and Shmuly Yanklowitz. Release date: April 2019.

Posts Tagged 'A. C. Grayling'
Ideas that are just plain crazy!
Powell's Books offers a review of a recent A. C. Grayling book titled "Ideas that matter". The review includes this quote from the words of Grayling about an idea that matters to Grayling:
Regarding slavery, he notes that "in the West every week people unknowingly touch something wholly or partly made by forced labour in China's huge gulag of prison camps where millions are incarcerated… Despite the importance of forced labour to China's economy, the international community chooses to ignore its existence."
It's difficult to imagine a big idea that is crazier! And it's published and the reviewer, Justin E A Busch prefaces the above quote thusly:
When Grayling's rhetoric is controlled, though, he makes important points with great verve and power.
A negative fantasy about China's economy is considered an "important point".
Who is more lunatic here, Grayling, his reviewer, or Powell's Books who post this nonsense on their books blog? I vote for all three!

Photography Tip (Continued)
By request I took a photo of the setup. (Excuse the quality; my camera is part of the setup, so I had to take the photo with my cell phone. Click on the photos to enlarge).
For those of us who have no IKEA close by, Sarah Triton sent me photos of a setup made with an old translucent lampshade form. The opening was filled by hot-gluing cardboard with a hole cut out the size of her lens.
And here are Sarah's process shots of stripping fabric off another, bigger lampshade:

We are in Malta now and it has been amazing seeing some history of the Knights of Malta, you know the guys in all the knight garb you see in all the movies. Think of the Three Musketeers. These guys were from all over Europe and typically were from privileged or royal families, and usually not first born sons. They were not in line for the throne in their home countries, so they spent time conquering, building, and basically pillaging. The entire Mediterranean region was being slowly taken over by the Moors from Africa, and I think the idea of the Knights was to protect people from Europe wanting to make pilgrimage to the Holy Land. The order was originally the Knights of St. John. Their first "capital" was the island of Rhodes in Greece, which we were able to see while we were there a few months ago. The were overrun there and for several years were looking for a place to call home in the Med. We also saw a lot of construction in smaller islands in Kos and Turkey, all from the same era.
Then the king of Sicily believed in the cause and offered the Knights the island of Malta for the price of a Maltese falcon (basically a 'token' price as the birds were everywhere, like we "sell" something we want to give to someone for $1.00) The knights agreed and at least they had a home, although they thought it was not a great gift, as the island was pretty much abandoned, some villagers and not much produce or natural beauty. So, they set up shop here and began building on the best harbor of the island, what is now Grand Harbor. They were attacked by the Moors and Turks in an epic battle in 1575. The Turks came with 30,000 troops and the Knights and locals were only 5,000. The war lasted for 2 long years and the Knights were victorious. After having fought for the island, they felt more attached and protective of it, and began to fortify and develop it in earnest. That is when the major project of development took place in Valetta, now the capital and a stunning peninsula city VERY well protected with walls and lookouts and forts all over it.
In their spare time, the Knights were terrorizing the seas around from the fledgling faith of Islam, thinking that raiding and pillaging their ships was 'stealing from the devil.'
All in all, it's a very fascinating piece of history that we are very glad we made the effort to sail down and see. As with a lot of other sites we've seen, it is way more interesting to see it than to have read it in books. Our only hope is that our boat-schooled teenagers see it that way as well!

Fall has always been my favorite time of year. I recently had a conversation with a friend who mentioned the concept of Fall being the beginning of the year instead of the end of the year as most of us are conditioned to accept it to be. We designate days and months and seasons as a way to count the passage of time, but is there really a beginning or end of the year? All things are incomplete.....we can designate our own beginnings and endings as they suit our individual experiences. My favorite outdoor experiences have always occurred in the Fall and so it represents for me a renewal of spirit and re-connecting with the earth and the power and awe of nature.
This renewal carries me through the long cold winter months until the warmth of Spring.
yes.... Fall is a new beginning

Duncan Macmillan and Robert Icke in rehearsal. Photo:Manuel Harlan.
Having staggered through the show on the Friday of the fourth week we were in the unprecedented position of being to run it in its entirety every day of the fifth and final week. This production is very much the sum of its parts and so each day's iteration brings both clarity and confidence to the cast and the creative team. The structure is such that the rhythm of each individual section – as there are no defined scenes – is dictated by that which has gone before it. This has the virtue of meaning that the energy of the show is often different, and fresh, depending on the way in which the company have left the starting blocks at the very beginning. However, it also means that without a strong start the run can be under-energised, or a small trip-up can cause the rest of the show to unravel. This makes it essential that the company know the whole production inside out, affording them confidence to keep it on track at all times. This confidence comes from the run-throughs and also from the return of the Green Diamond game, which is indispensable for focusing the cast each day.
Seeing the big picture - the play in its entirety - clearly highlighted areas which needed more work, and inconsistencies in terms of rhythm or narrative. These 'bumps' were addressed in remaining sessions of the day, and occasionally a re-write would be delivered the following day to be worked in. The great advantage of having the writers in the room is that quite a few difficulties can be resolved with an alteration to the script; however, Robert and Duncan are careful to limit returning to this, as often difficulties with the text can find solutions through a particular staging. It is important to remember that altering the text can cause you equal problems in another area of the staging.
By now, most of the technical aspects are fully operational and our run-throughs are supported by elements of both video and sound design. Both Tim (video) and Tom (sound) are in constant discussion with Rob and Duncan throughout the rehearsal day adding, removing or editing according to their notes. Essentially, the technical aspects of the production are being built in real time and so can respond to the myriad changes which continue to be made. These drafts which are 'roughed in' will continue to be worked on throughout the technical rehearsals and the previews in the coming weeks. Chloe (designer) and Holly (costume supervisor) have now sourced and fitted all the costumes and are busy making alterations. Meanwhile, Amy (deputy stage manager) has been busy filling up her 'book' (a master copy of the script) with the hundreds of queues she will use to 'call' the show (cue the lighting, sound and video at the correct point). This is done in pencil, of course, so that the inevitable changes can be made easily when necessary!
This work, as well as finishing touches to the set, will continue when we reach Nottingham for the technical rehearsals in a week's time. To get an idea of the show ahead of this, the run-throughs are attended by staff from Headlong and the Nottingham Playhouse, who are also able to offer an objective view of the show – input which is certainly welcomed at this stage of rehearsals.

Why Some People Are Shy While Others Are Not?
We live in a time where technology has decreased the distance between people in ease of communication, to the point that it is somehow considered as a necessity. However we generalise that everyone is just as easy to communicate or be a part of what is going on around them because everyone is different when it comes to such, some people are like an open book, and some are impenetrable.
And in most cases, you can't blame the person, for being a people's person is not easy as it seems, it has its own burdens, which usually people choose not to see. And not everyone has the time or patience to deal with so much at once, so they end up living in an environment that they are keen to live in, a world that they know each bit about.
Some people are born as people's person, and some like their solitude. It is just as some are introvert and some extrovert. Some people love the attention that they get, and then there are some, who try to stay out of limelight, just as much as they can. Neither of this is bad, it all boils down to internal choice of a person.
However, shyness is something that can be identified in both introverts and extroverts. So while in case of introverts it might seem a bit natural since being comfortable around less people makes them inexperienced to the crowd and the attention., even the most experienced extroverts can be shy when it comes to themselves, they'll be having the conversation with utmost ease, but move the conversation towards them and they'll deflect it onto something else.
Shy people are not different or something less, they just need more time to open up when it comes to themselves, to trust a person, and that is not a bad thing at all. We live in such fast paced times, that we fail to realise that the person who may have a lot of worthwhile things to say, or do, is just the person we stop communicating with because they require you to go an extra mile for them.
We forget that everyone doesn't relish the same things as us, and for them to try being just like us, we have to go an extra mile for them, even if they are resistant to, to understand them better and to gain from them, for no good thing came without efforts.
One reason of being shy can also be related to someone's childhood, which makes them stay away from attention, so when they get attention, they are puzzled with what to do, it's like a question exam that they haven't prepared for. They may have all the attention, but they won't know what to do with it. And hence they hesitate, to hold up a conversation based upon them, or to hog the limelight. In similar cases, a person who is well versed in such experiences will be at ease, for that is what is important for them.
Shyness is something a person can overcome, slowly and with much efforts, efforts which will be invisible to anyone else apart from them, which is why it is said that you should never judge a person, for you never know the kind of internal turmoil that person maybe in. Being shy and overcoming it, also has an advantage, you end up understanding the people facing the same situation with more ease and helping them with it, which helps you further your experiences.

How to Choose the Best Fire Equipment.
The causes of fire are many and that means that the risk or the accident can occur any time anywhere. There are so many things that can cause a fire and this means that it will be a risk that can happen anywhere any time. The more the causes of something like a fire accident, the more the chances of the said accident happening. Electrical issues are among the causes and since electricity is something that everyone everywhere is using, fire is something that should be prevented at all cost. Since there is nothing that we can do to make sure that they do not happen, we can only put some precautionary measures to minimize the losses if they happen. . The damages and the loss that a fire that is not controlled can cause is so huge sometimes all that is left is ash. This is something that I do not think anyone would want to come across and this is what makes the fire management equipment very vital to any building.
Choosing the right company to get the fire equipment from and the services too will not be a walk in the park especially because there are so many out there to choose from. There are those ones that we can all agree that they are the best in terms of quality however and those are the ones that you should be looking for.
Those that have the best of the training ad enough experience in the services, the repair, maintenance and the installation of the equipment are the ones that will give the best of the said services. These are among the things that are usually associated with the MgFire because this is where you find people that know exactly what you need to be safe. They have a variety of the fire extinguisher, sprinklers and the stand pipe systems, fire doors, suppression systems, emergency lights, the hydrants and many more.
If is the first time that you are using the MgFire fire Equipment then it means that you know little about them. If you want to know about the quality of the products of the company or even the services then the testimonies from the people that have been there will be ideal. The online reviews has all this information and more and that means that you should check it out. Quality is very important here because it will determine how effectively the equipment perform. The reason why you should make sure that you make the best choice that you can is that the company that you choose will determine the quality that you get.
