In today's digital environment, here's the one question recruiters must get right: Have you got the tools for the job? Online recruiting technologies continue to advance the hiring function, enabling TA teams to get their first-choice candidates in the door faster. The tools to recruit online have become vital for
- Responding to skill and talent shortages
- Engaging young, diverse candidates
- Accelerating great hires
So what does it mean to recruit online? Here's your 3-minute guide with the specifics.
Hiring's gone digital
TA teams who recruit online use digital tools to interact electronically with passive and active candidates at every step of the hiring cycle. They're sourcing candidates through social recruiting, enabling candidates to apply for jobs right from their smartphones, and pre-qualifying talent with on-demand text interviews. They're engaging candidates with on-demand and live video and voice interviewing. TA teams are also using digital hiring technology to automate interview scheduling and onboard new hires.
What technologies are companies investing in to recruit online?
Video job descriptions head the list for 59% of employers considering recruiting technology investments in 2019, according to the Talent Board's annual research. Event scheduling applications were the top recruiting technology investment the prior year. Video interviewing has consistently been part of the top five tech investment list for several years.
About half (51%) of organizations are using applications that leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to automate screening, sourcing and scheduling, according to Montage research. Chatbots and AI-driven virtual hiring assistants help recruiters engage candidates online in a modern hiring experience that is faster, easier and more convenient than traditional processes.
To improve hiring efficiency and create a seamless candidate experience, large enterprise organizations often select a single platform for recruiting online that integrates hiring assessments as well as many of the applications mentioned above. With a single solution, recruiters can engage, qualify and schedule candidates in hours.
5 advantages to recruiting online
A digital hiring process gives recruiters competitive advantages in the talent market:
1. Accelerated speed to hire
Highly-sought candidates are on today's talent market for less than 10 days. If your organization's hiring cycle is at the average 36-day mark or longer, it's likely you're missing out on candidates you need. Technologies to recruit online enable
- Candidates to self-schedule interviews at their convenience. More than half of candidates take advantage of automated scheduling within two hours of receiving the invite
- You to compress candidates' wait time between application and your first contact with them, especially with high volume hiring
- Up to a two-week reduction in your overall hiring cycle
2. Making smarter hiring decisions
Automating top-of-funnel tasks with online recruiting technologies extends your candidate reach and helps you find the most qualified candidates in your talent pool faster, so you spend more time with better candidates, and your interview-to-hire ratio improves. You can also scale up your hiring assessments when they're integrated with on-demand video interviews.
3. Transforming hiring diversity
For a majority of TA leaders, diversity in hiring is a priority second only to the candidate experience. When TA teams use digital tools to recruit online, they extend their reach to a wider pool of talent and provide that pool with a more consistent hiring process. AI-enabled solutions like Unbiased Candidate Review also help recruiters elevate diversity in hiring by reducing unconscious bias in the hiring process.
4. Improve Your Strategic Value
When you recruit online, you improve your efficiency but up to 30% each day. That's 30% more time for relation-building and candidate engagement you get by automating many of the recruiting logistics and accelerating your process. Online dashboards can help you focus your attention where it's needed most. Online recruiting tools that integrate with your ATS and calendaring functions help with seamless candidate management.
5. Attracting talent with a better candidate experience
What do candidates think of online recruiting? Eighty percent of candidates prefer text interviews to phone screens. Of candidates who've interviewed using Montage's purpose-built interviewing technology:
- 98% said the prospective employer was innovative and forward-thinking
- 97% of candidates felt more able to represent themselves as the right candidate
As more organizations recruit online, candidates have come to expect electronic engagement and a digital hiring process with every job search.

As you can see in my horrible recent edits, I'm testing Lua module to handle skill data in stat box, you can see the result in template:SMTstats/sandbox. So you only need to give the (exact) skill name and then Lua module will fetch the cost, effect and
level data of specific skill to the stat template. The reason I use Lua rather than wiki parser function (#switch:) is simply because Lua loads faster. If you don't know Lua or any program language (I don't know much either and I troubled someone skillful in Wikipedia before making Module:Skills works correctly), you can still help manage skill data tables like module:Skills/SMT1. It should be very straightforward to replicate another table for other games. We can only start modifying each stat template when the skill data table module is ready. -- Inpursuit (talk)
- that's pretty cool, i didn't know stuff like that could be done; it'll make things a lot easier than having to add them all in manually on every demon's page (though the levels/ranks at which they're learned will still need to be done manually), which will make making changes hell of a lot easier (eg, we could change the Devil Summoner and Devil Children templates to show more than just the skill names with very little additional work). while it would theoretically be possible to do this with #switch, it'd be an extremely poor and crude way to do it since you'd have to input every single skill's details into the template for every Skill input (so for SMT1 you'd need 3 copies of every skill, and 6 copies for SMT2), which would make it an incredibly lengthy mess. i'll start working on the module:skills/game pages soon. Tathra (talk) 17:17, January 10, 2015 (UTC)
Even though SMT3 stat template with Module:Skills seemingly works well, this is not the ultimate result I want. What I have in mind is to get rid of the Skill# and Level# parameters completely like this:
{{SMTNstats |Race=Beast |Skills= Agilao\Innate Avenge\12 Megidolaon\30 }}
I know someone is doing this already in Wikipedia like this module but I can't replicate it due to my limited knowledge of Lua. Anyone who knows better are appreciated to help implement it. Thank you. -- Inpursuit (talk) 04:09, January 15, 2015 (UTC)
- is such a thing necessary? i mean, sure it sounds like a cool idea, but we already have thousands of pages and probably tens of thousands of stat templates, all of which would need to be changed to support the new implementation.
- lets compare it to the other 2 wiki-wide changes (requiring basically eveyr page to be edited or affecting basically every page) in the past few years - adding categories through stat templates and now adding skills through the lua module.
- categories through stat templates:
- effect - if categories are changed (like changing "category:megami ibunroku persona demons" to "category:persona demons" or "category:cult of gaia" to "category:ring of gaea") they only need to be changed at the template itself, then the changes automatically happen the next time each individual page is edited.
- categories through stat templates:
- required work - all 'hard' categories (categories added directly to the pages) which are already added by a template must be deleted
- skills through lua module:
- effect - skills are all added to the pages from one list; if skill descriptions need changed, like if SMTII or if... get localized, only the one list needs to be changed rather than every single demon's page.
- skills through lua module:
- required work - make the list pages and update the templates, and any pages which have skills which aren't on the list due to misspelling or having the wrong input ("SkillAG1" instead of "Skill1") need to be updated. deleting Costs and Effects already on the pages isn't a requirement, but they're unnecessary and can just be removed the next time the page is edited. a far better implementation than was used for the categories by template, but implementing something similar for it would be easy since just the templates would need updated now.
- what would be the benefits of changing the way skills are input? would it be worth the amount of work required to properly implement it? both types of inputs would have to be acceptable until all invokations of a template were changed (eg, the old P1 resistances style has to stay working until all the P1 demons and personas get updated to the new style, showing each resistance individually), so what would be the incentive to change them?
- don't get me wrong, i'm not saying its a bad thing; it'd be cool to have it as an option and would probably turn out to be useful in other places, and could be used for any new stat templates that get created, but i just don't see it being worth the amount of work required to implement it for Skills. Tathra (talk) 22:41, January 15, 2015 (UTC)
- I am fully aware of the work required for executing my thought, even though we can ask wikia staff for bot operation. At least I hope this would be feasible for Persona 5 and subsequent SMT games. My concern is that the traditional wiki parser functions increases the article template size. In the extreme case, the server/wiki software would refuse to load the resultant page (but still possible to be edited) when template size is too large. The issue is not instantly obvious to every user because whether a page would show also depends on the user's internet connection speed: the slower the more likely the page won't show with tons of parser functions involved. In any case, letting Lua module handle the if/switch logics allows articles with stat templates to load much faster, which is especially helpful for articles of demons like Cerberus and Jack Frost which have high amount of appearance in the series. -- Inpursuit (talk) 23:11, January 15, 2015 (UTC)
- About the SMT3 boss stats, actually they have mp cost as well, so mana drain strategy works on them (as well as DDSAT1 but not 2). The problem is in the same time, their physical skills don't cost HP so this is a dilemma whether we should show the cost or not. -- Inpursuit (talk) 23:11, January 15, 2015 (UTC)
- yeah, faster loading times would be worth the work, especially since some of the pages are already so long as to be problematic. it looks like it uses javascript like the MediaWiki stuff, but i don't know anything about JS; if i dig in to reference materials and start trying to learn it though i'm usually a pretty fast learner, so i'll see what i can do to help (i want to update the module to support fusion skills anyway). let me think on the boss skill costs thing for a bit; an argument for not showing them is that bosses can use different versions of spells with lower or no cost or just effectively have infinite MP, but in games where MP draining is a valid tactic then they need to be shown; the best i have right now is using the if to display something like <abbr title="Physical skills have no cost">Cost</abbr> for bosses, but there might be a better way. another zero-cost version of the physical skills used by bosses (like Berserk and Berserk* or something similar) could just be added to the list, but hopefully there's a better way to go about it. Tathra (talk) 23:32, January 15, 2015 (UTC)
- i think i've got it.
{{#if:{{{Skill1|}}}|{{#invoke:Skills|row|{{#if:{{{Boss|}}}|{{#switch:{{{Skill1|}}}|phys skill|phys skill|phys skill|etc= r01 |#default= r11}}}}|SMT3|{{{Skill1|}}} }} }}
- this should do it. you'd have to list all the physical skills that are used by bosses (which hopefully isn't too many since each Skill line would have to have this), but then if its marked as a boss and uses a physical skill, it wouldn't show the cost, but would show the cost for everything else. if there's a lot of physical skills that are used by Nocturne bosses though, it'd end up being so long that it'd probably be better to go with something simpler. Tathra (talk) 05:38, January 17, 2015 (UTC)
- I edited module:Skills and template:SMTNstats so now all enemies' physical skills will span across the "cost" and "effect" column if "enemy" parameter is checked. If you don't like it I can modify module:Skills again so the cost of all physical skills are listed "0" when "enemy" is checked. -- Inpursuit (talk) 06:43, January 17, 2015 (UTC)

Stats templates by LuaEdit
I have made some major progress in module:Skills/sandbox that the new stats functions (SMT1 and P4 so far) can pretty much replace their template counterpart which means that they will load faster. You can see the actual result in template:SMTstats/testcases, although I think the sandbox templates need to be tested exhaustively to make sure they are bug-free (when used correctly, that is.) The template transclusion markups in articles can remain unchanged, except for the markups in the list of skills which must be alternated to cope with the new format. The reason I don't assign specific parameter names (e.g. Skill1, Skill2, Level2) for each skill is because the new format allows you to input skills as much as possible without worrying if there are insufficient skill entry parameters. The new design is practically unlimited, all you do is to write the next skill on a new line. If you need to add learning level, just add BACKSLASH and then level figure like this:
\innate. That's it.
I understand the new list of skill format requires tremendous amount of time and effort to revise the current transcluding articles. We can either request wikia staff's assist for mass edit run by bot (or WP:AWB). The other option is to do nothing and save it for P5 which seems the stats system won't stray too far from P3/4. -- Inpursuit (talk) 13:26, January 30, 2015 (UTC)
- Known issues
- No Scribunto equivalence of "#ifexist" to check if an article exists on this wiki. This has been officially confirmed by wikia staff. You also can't simply type the full #ifexist syntax into the module, it won't be processed and the full code of the ifexist will be shown directly in the article.
- Finally I have included most stats templates into module:Skills/sandbox. I exclude {{Gun}}, {{Sword}},
{{SMT9stats}}, {{20XXstats}},{{P5stats}}, because Gun and Sword don't involve skill list, SMT9 and 20XX are very inaccessible (for both playability and availability) and I doubt anyone today would bother to look for any rom or emulator.P5 simply lacks substantial stats information by now. The testcases page compares the usage between module and legacy template so if you have trouble of converting the existing demon articles you can check it and report if there is missing of crucial parameter. Even though the module code is in the sandbox page, {{stats}} which invokes the sandbox module isn't. We can apply the sandbox module to the main module only when the conversion of all demon articles are done. -- Inpursuit (talk) 03:57, February 24, 2015 (UTC)
I wish to address this before Inpursuit goes on further. First of all, this work is really commendable. It is easy and convenient, having the stats template invoke data from an existing centralized database. Not only has it meant we reduce the article size, meaning that loading times are indeed faster, but also from an editor's perspective, this means we have a consistent wording for all our skills descriptions.
But, I have some issues, first with the sudden change of template design, and second with the lack of a user guide. And by the looks of it, not only are we moving to a centralized database, we're also moving to centralized stats template. Inpursuit's building of the unified stats template will mean that all the varied by-game stats templates will be scrunched into one - and there are things to consider.
In the past, our templates have been consistent in their design - and that's the overarching policy. And I wish for that to continue, even as Inpursuit continue to redesign it. I do admit, the bar graph is a really cool idea - that the games in the series use a vertical bar graph makes it a nice shoutout. But if we want to implement them, it should be applied consistently, and that it should complement the whole design of the template, color and all.
Then there's the lack of user guidance for this implementation. We use to have coding guide for the stats, each of them, so that user know what the parameters are and what inputs to write in. Users of the Wikia skin can just pick the templates out from the edit box, and input the data in the form. It's a pretty straightforward process. I observe right now that the input guide is all over the place, and we haven't even consider how to implement categories for enemies with special properties: Bosses, Specific spinoff Game appearances etc.
So these are the two questions I'm putting forward to Inpursuit: 1. How can we make a consistent clean redesign for the stats template? and 2. How shall we write the userguide for the templates? Please lay out all your plans so that we can get this project done sooner rather than later. BLUER一番 21:33, March 4, 2015 (UTC)
- I apologize for the lack of documentation. The reasons for that are the module is still undergoing debugging (requires more applications in more demons' pages to study if any error may occur), also because the most important differences between the legacy stats templates and the new module-based stats template are: 1) the first parameter which defines the game style (e.g. smt1, p3, pq). 2) the list of skill entry format. Otherwise the other parameters like race, level, strength, etc. are pretty much the same. The principle of the new stats template is to minimize editor's burden of knowledge when updating demon's stats.
- Regarding the infobox style, Nocturne was the only game I wanted to modify the general color scheme. The colors of the rest are mostly the same or at least consistent to mediawiki:Common.css (for reason not known to me, giten and childmessiah have different color schemes between common.css and stat templates). As for the HP/MP colored bar of Nocturne and SJ, the new style references the actual in-game UI to make the figures easier distinguishable, but the design can be removed if not well-received. Generally the new design is not set in stone and can keep improving. -- Inpursuit (talk) 01:37, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
- I set greater "line-height" for bars of smt1/2/3/if because there are 6 (instead of 5 of smt3/sj/4) stats which use bar in the GUI. If I apply the same bar dimension of smt3/sj/4, it's either the vertical height of those 6 stats have to be squeezed more or the height of the table cells next to the stat bars section will be lengthened even more which is uglier IMO.
- I didn't apply the stat bar to all games also because I'm not 100% sure about the max stat figure which is crucial in calculating the actual width of the bar. -- Inpursuit (talk) 07:18, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
I'm asking for help here since the Lua script is too complicated for me to understand and edit it myself, but there's a minor error in the P1 template. "Item Drop" and "Return" are linking to "List of Persona Items", which doesn't exist, instead of List of Megami Ibunroku Persona Items. G.A.S.A (talk) 19:56, March 27, 2015 (UTC)
- I simply created the redirect page of List of Persona Items because it's a valid name as well. -- Inpursuit (talk) 00:08, March 28, 2015 (UTC)

Going on long walks and hikes is one of the most fun activities you can do with your dog. It gets you out exploring and helps burn off their excess energy. It can be cumbersome to bring alllllll the things you need for both you and your pupper, though. Read on to see why you should get a backpack for your dog to wear, and find our favorite dog backpacks.
Why Should My Dog Carry A Backpack?
Dog backpacks are wonderful for giving your dog a job, which can help calm anxious dogs down and provide extra mental and physical stimulation! Any dog can benefit from the task, as long as it is properly sized for them and weighted evenly.
Is It Safe For My Dog To Carry The Backpack?
For the majority of dogs, it's perfectly safe for them to wear an appropriately-sized backpack. Some dogs, including some senior dogs or those with back problems may want to skip this one, however. To keep your dog safe, make sure the load is evenly balanced in each bag. Each manufacturer has different sizes, so look at the fit guide to determine the ideal size for your dog.
What Should I Put In Their Dog Backpack?
To get your dog used to wearing a backpack, start taking them on walks and hikes with it empty. You can gradually add weight to it by placing their poop bags, a collapsible food/water bowl, a small first-aid kit, and small bags of food for the journey. A good guideline is to keep the pack weight under 10% of your dog's body weight, and ensure it is evenly balanced on each side of the pack to prevent it from leaning.
Here Are Some of Our Favorite Dog Backpacks
Outward Hound Daypak
Outward Hound (the same company that makes some of our favorite dog puzzles!) offers a great starter pack for dogs. It's nice and lightweight, and the mesh panels keep your dog cool in warmer weather. It holds less than other backpacks, but it's perfect for getting your pup accustomed to walking with the pack on.
OneTigris Dog Pack
The OneTigris Dog Pack is a sturdy canvas that holds up in tough environments, and looks great doing it. The top handle makes it easier to help your dog over obstacles like boulders and logs.
EzyDog Summit Dog Backpack
The Summit Dog Backpack is the one R&R use, and they love it! The chest plate is very comfortable. The bag has quick-access panels, making it easy to grab those items you need frequently or fast, like keys or poop bags!
OSPet Saddle Bag Backpack
The OSPet Saddle Bag is pretty awesome, because the side bags are easily removable. That allows it to be used as a traditional harness. It has a nice reflective strip to boost visibility while out at night, too.
Outward Hound Denver Urban Pack
The Urban Pack is a stylish, on-trend bag that's perfect for city excursions. It has two large pockets for storing keys, poop bags, and a water bowl for lunches out on the town.
Stock Show Pet Dog Cartoon Backpack
Okay, so this cartoon backpack may not be the best for going on hikes. Plus, since it's only made for dogs from around 11-16 pounds, it won't fit Roxy or Rico. But seriously, HOW CUTE IS THIS?! I love it so much! This would work awesome for our fur cousins Alley and Mia.

It's the Top Model finale! And there are very few surprises. We follow the traditional format, with the final three first shooting a Cover Girl commercial and then an ad for some new sort of staining lip gunk. Aminat manages to be the most natural in the commercial and even incorporates a winning shoulder shrug but, per usual, she has no idea what to do with her face in a still photograph. Allison recoups well from her previous commercial debacle and does a fine, if not stellar, job talking in front of the camera. Her ad turns out great, and her lips provide a really lovely palate. And then there's Teyona. The bravado and confidence of the past several weeks comes to an abrupt halt as she has a total breakdown while shooting her commercial. She does, however, recover well enough to take a stunning photo for the ad. At judging, Aminat's run finally comes to an end as she is given the penultimate ax. At least she'll have the comfort of looking impossibly hot in her last few moments on the show.
Allison and Teyona, our final two, then compete in a swimwear fashion show for Rosa Cha, who is actually a little bald guy not named Rosa Cha. Brazil! Nuts! In their first pass, they have to wear giant wings and odd-sized top hats. Allison surprises the judges by not being absolutely horrible, while Teyona mostly lives up to relatively high expectations. On the second pass the girls have to add a little samba to the mix, and Allison impresses everyone by getting a little bit of groove on in response to dancing audience member Miss J. And then there's the third pass. The ladies don't actually walk the runway, but rather slither around on it while slathered in what appears to be motor oil. I guess it makes as much sense as "ghost brides." Teyona literally loses her weave in the process, so decides to use it as a prop. This tactic might have been more successful were it not for the one strand that remained connected to her head. Though it's a tight competition, things play out as predicted and Teyona is named America's Next Top Model, leaving Allison to go home and work on that nosebleed.
Previously on America's Next Top Model: Thirteen aspiring models came to New York City and began their journey toward becoming America's Next Top Model. Along the way there was gorgeousness and glamour. There were also glaring errors. And how! And, don't forget, Clay Aiken appeared in what was surely the seventh sign of the apocalypse. But three girls have survived it all, and tonight one of them will be named America's Next Top Model, spend about two weeks filming My Life as a Cover Girl commercials, and then fade into the ether before showing up on some sort of VH1 show with "celebrity" in the title. Will it be Aminat? No. No it will not. No matter how much we're told that her body is amazing. Will it be Allison, they shy girl from New Orleans who looks like an actual doll and might one day punch Tyra in the nose just for the fun of it? We can hope. Or will it be Teyona? Probably. She's taken good photos all along, even with her denture cream smile.
It is morning in Sao Paulo, and there's a Tyra Mail ready to greet the girls. It says, "Be on point tomorrow or you can kiss this competition goodbye. Love, Tyra." There is another brown envelope containing -- you guessed it -- scripts. Yes, everybody, they're doing Cover Girl commercials! I'd really advocate for them to change the format for the last episode and make the final three do something like, I don't know, cage fighting to determine who will go on to walk in the final runway show. But my dream is not to be. We get a quick shot of the so-called "script," which actually has eleven lines. And most of these aren't even full lines. There is a phrase in Portuguese, which means "read my lips." You know what's connected to the lips? The throat, and Aminat says there's pressure on hers right now. Because Teyona is trying to strangle her to ensure victory? No, friends, it's because she's the underdog and doesn't have room to mess up. She's prepared to know the script like the back of her hand. As the girls get ready for bed Teyona does a little "Easy, breezy, beautiful," dance. She's overwhelmed and excited to be part of the bottom three. As she and Aminat continue to clown, Allison tells us that she's more of a quiet one. That's why her weave has to be so loud. She adds that she's so close now that it would be a shame not to win, so she's planning on giving anything and everything that she's got to make sure she lands at number one.

Zero For Conduct (Jean Vigo, 1933, B&W)
"One of the most poetic films ever made and one of the most influential." – New Yorker
Jean Vigo based his first fictional film on his own miserable experiences in a French boarding school, and the result is one of the greatest films about children ever made. It's influence is felt in other filmic tales of disaffected youth, from Francois Truffaut's The 400 Blows (1959) to Alan Parker's Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982), and especially Lindsay Anderson's If… (1968).
Zero was made for a mere 200,000 francs and shot by Vigo's friend Boris Kaufman, younger brother of Soviet "Kino-Eye" pioneer Dziga Vertov (A Man with a Movie Camera). It received a mixed reception on its initial 1933 release and was soon banned for fear it would instigate civil unrest. Re-released in 1945, it has since been accepted as a landmark of world cinema. After completing L'Atalante in 1934, Vigo's promising career was cut short by his death from septicemia at the age of 29.
The plot follows the misadventures of a group of young students as they endure the absurdities and deprivations forced upon them by their petty, authoritarian teachers. Matters escalate into a full-scale dormitory rebellion. Beds are overturned and pillows ripped open, resulting in a rain of feathers--one of the most beautiful images in this, or any, film. Finally, locked in an attic, the young rebels escape onto the roof and rain down a barrage of books, stones, and shoes onto a group of visiting dignitaries, inspiring the rest of the boys to revolt and take over the school.
Boy With a Knife (1951, B&W)
A rare film noir-like RKO social guidance film. Jerry, an "at-risk" young man, uses his knife as an "equalizer" to solve his frustrations stemming from his unhappy home, which is dominated by his stepmother. A group worker reaches Jerry and helps him to transcend his anger. Director: Laslo Benedek. Narrator: Richard Widmark. With Chuck Connors. A classic social guidance film!
The Bully (1951, B&W)
Social misfit and malcontent Chick Allen, the school bully, holds an unquenchable grudge against all that is good - and smaller - the kids in his class. Chick is constantly grabbing people by the shirt and throwing them to the ground. He wants to mess up the class picnic, but his plans are leaked by Skipper, one of his small lackeys. The class decides to thwart Chick and, at the same time, offer him a last chance to bond with society.
Latino: A Cultural Conflict (1971, B+W)
Clips from a rare documentary shot by Brian Lewis on the streets of San Francisco's Mission District over 40 years ago. The film charts the alienation of teenager Mauricio from the Anglo community and his descent into drug use and criminal activity due to the cultural conflict between home versus school, and the unrealistic expectations of educators who expect Chicano students to conform to Anglo ways. Sound familiar?


text: We are a bit confused about where to find affiliates; we have joined boards and affiliate programs that seem to center very much of digital advertising products. These tends to offer hundreds and hundreds of dollars per sale and seem well established. Conversely, we are just starting off, and everything I have read states that most affiliates want a proven track record before they consider representing new products. That's respectable and I agree. Of course, affiliates deal with the same issue- often needing a successful track record before being considered for big products. Thus, where can a new business find affiliates who are looking for products to represent so that we can simultaneously build each other up? Because we offer digital classes, we often fall in with the digital marketing scene, but we don't really fit there, as are classes are academic. Wondering if anyone has a good place to start off and build a modest affiliate base with which to grow. Thanks for any guidance! Join Our JV Focus Facebook Group

Introducing our Third Princess Wish family
Thanks to your generous donations, we are able to offer Princess Ball tickets to three special families this year, allowing them to enjoy a gentle day of whimsy and entertainment, far away from the daily schedule. Marlow, 5, from Shannonville, is very excited to join us on April 19th. Marlow was diagnosed with stage IV Rhabdomyosarcoma in December 2011. Her original chemotherapy protocol took 1.5 years to complete due todelays and side effects. She enjoyed 3 months to recover but then relapsed 3 months later. She has continued on chemotherapy ever since, and will have of radiation in the relapsed area.
"As a parent of an ill child you seize every opportunity to make life amazing and special." said Marlow's mother, Tanya. "This is hard when you are limited due to a compromised immune system and unpredictable treatment schedule. You try to squeeze a lifetime of experience into each day knowing that things can quickly come to a terrible end. The Princess Ball will give Marlow a magical experience with other little girls that we could otherwise not afford to do. She has recently sprouted a little hair after being bald for 2.5 years…I can't think of a better way of treating her to a special night with mommy to celebrate how far she has come."
We are honoured to have you join us Princess Marlow. Truly honoured.

I screamed at my kids the other day. I'm embarrassed to admit it, and the inner people-pleaser in me wants nothing more than to delete that first sentence altogether. But for the sake of transparency, I'll lay out the truth void of neatly tucked edges and flowery language.
I'm a minister's wife and writer whose sole purpose in life is to counsel and champion teen girls and women to reach their fullest potential in the name of Christ. But I occasionally scream at my kids. I'm a mother of three beautiful, funny, clever children, but periodically I holler at my kids. I'm married to a supportive, loving, help-around-the-house kind of spouse, but sometimes I still shriek at my kids.
If there were ever someone least qualified as the patient type, that'd be this girl. I'm more type A than anything.
Not too long ago, someone I love whose children are now grown shared with me how she determined when her kids were babies that she would never raise her voice at her children. And apparently, she never did. While I applaud her for this feat and on many occasions have made this own determination in my mind, I still find myself teetering on the edge of a verbal vomit explosion.
I've found myself ashamed of my heated reactions to my children and wonder if I'm the only person who'd be utterly embarrassed if all of my interactions with my children were recorded for the entire world to see. After a brief episode of me clenching my fists and falling into a heap on the floor in my best melodramatic style, I cease my fretting, come back to reality, and truly picture all of what they would actually discover if my life really was on public display. If you occasionally scream at your kids, then this one is for you, Mama.
They would see copious amounts of cuddling. Oh, those sweet and all too brief moments when our little ones pause their own scurrying and screeching and scrambling about for just a squeeze in their mama's arms. These moments are frequent and filled with love to boot.
They would witness contagious, unrelenting laughter. I'm talking belly laughs that sculpt your abs more than any circuit training session could ever muster up. These giggles turned chuckles turned snorting howls are the norm and open the door to infectious joy flooding the insides of our home.
They would observe humility in action. Those moments spent on our knees, eye-to-eye with our little ones, apologizing for Mommy's bad attitude or thoughtless actions are teachable moments our children will remember for the rest of their lives. These are the opportunities in which our children learn about grace and mercy and forgiveness. These are the times they see a glimpse of Jesus in us.
They would detect the warmth of comfort distributed in times of sadness and disappointment. As tears flow from our precious children's eyes when their feelings are hurt or their tender hearts broken, Mommy is there to run her fingers through their hair, hold them in the middle of the night when their fears keep them from restful sleep, and speak truth and peace into their hearts and minds. We point them to hope and light.
They would perceive a love that is unmatched by anything other than the love that flows from God Himself. No matter how naughty and mischievous and frustratingly disobedient our children can be, Mommy forgives and distributes love unconditionally.
They would behold a mommy who prays for her children. Whether out loud for morning and evening and mealtime prayers or knelt bedside, hovering quietly over her little ones' heads in the solemnity of the night, you would see a mommy who desires nothing less than the absolute best for her children. She leads them to Jesus.
There is so much more to you than a woman who occasionally hollers at her kids. We are not perfect, nor should we expect ourselves to be. We have a God who is more than capable of filling in the gaps of motherhood that are glaringly obvious to us. Our job isn't to be perfect but to love as the Father first loved us.
Friend, recognize your God-given strengths and abilities to guide your little ones well. This is what makes you more than a mom who screams at her kids. You are a mom who lives, loves, and leads well, and no amount of miniscule, mouthy mess-ups can change that.

President TrumpDonald John TrumpMichael Flynn transcripts reveal plenty except crime or collusion 50 people arrested in Minneapolis as hundreds more National Guard troops deployed Missouri state lawmaker sparks backlash by tweeting 'looters deserve to be shot' MORE joked with French President Emmanuel Macron in front of reporters on Wednesday as the two met at the NATO summit in Brussels.
After his French counterpart issued an opening statement to reporters in French, Trump quipped that he had "no idea" what Macron had said, but that it had "sounded great."
"It sounded beautiful, I have no idea what he said, but it sounded great," Trump said to laughter from reporters in the room.
"I just reminded everybody that almost one year ago you were present with your wife in Paris for Bastille Day," Macron responded in English, smiling.
"We have worked together for some 12 months now. And took some great decisions and we will continue to work together," the French president added.
The two leaders have developed a somewhat close relationship, but have clashed in recent months over tariffs imposed by the U.S. on European Union products.
A phone call between the two men last month "was terrible," according to a CNN source, with Macron issuing stern criticism on Trump's policies on issues related to both trade and immigration.
"Just bad. It was terrible," one source told CNN. "Macron thought he would be able to speak his mind, based on the relationship. But Trump can't handle being criticized like that."
During the Wednesday press conference, Macron was asked by reporters whether he agreed with Trump's earlier criticism of the NATO alliance, including Germany's gas pipeline deal with Russia, which Trump said made the nation a "captive" of Vladimir Putin's government.
"I'm glad they asked you that," Trump said, to laughs.
Laughing, Macron again pushed back against Trump's criticism of the organization, which has been a top point of contention between the Trump administration and European allies.
"We work together," he said.

GST guidance note for IT/ITeS sector
Summary of the key points relevant for IT/ITeS sector:
1. Classcification of software
- It has been clarified (question 1) that any development, design, programming, customisation, adaptation, upgradation, enhancement, implementation of information technology and temporary transfer or permitting the use or enjoyment of any intellectual property would be treated as supply of services. However, that pre-developed software or pre-designed software supplied in any medium/ storage or made available through the use of encryption keys would be treated as supply of goods.
- Question 18 clarifies as to what would contitute supply of services "involving temporary transfer or permitting the use or enjoyment of any intellectual property. In providing its clarification on this aspect, the FAQs describe that a End User License Agreement (EULA) as a legal contract between the software application author or publisher and the user of that application which governs the softwares usage. The FAQs suggests reliance on such EULAs to decide whether or not a supply involves "temporary transfer or permitting the use or enjoyment of any intellectual property rights".
NASSCOM comments and way forward
Reliance has been placed on EULA for determination of "service" or "goods" and no principles/ criteria has been laid out towards the same, which again would be subject matter of contention. NASSCOM would continue to represent the issue before the GST council or Sectoral Working Group officials to seek clarification on the subject of software being "service" or "goods" when supplied on a media and electronically.
2. Place of supply in case of IT/ ITeS services (Question 8, 9 and 23)
The FAQs have clarified that the place of supply for IT/ ITeS services would be the location of the recipient in terms with Section 12 (for domestic supplies) and section 13 (for cross border transactions). Further, in question 23, the tax liability where supplies have been made from multiple locations to a recipient under a single contract has been examined under the following fact pattern:
- Delivery of services from various locations;
- Integrated pricing for the contract as a whole;
- Contract or agreement with the recipient entered into by one of the branches (Main branch).
In case of the above fact pattern, it has been clarified that the supply could be visualised as consisting of distinct supplies.
- First supply – Branches engaged in supply making a supply to the main branch which has entered into the contract or agreement.
- Second supply – Main branch making supply to the customer.
NASSCOM comments and way forward
FAQs clarifies that a single invoice can be raised although supplies are made from multiple offices. However, it is not clear what the "main branch" should be and how it would need to be determined, ie whether the main branch needs to be determined based on number of employees engaged from a particular location, based on revenue and/ or cost attribution, based on control or other such factors. NASSCOM would try and obtain further clarity on this aspect.
In addition of course, given that the clarification is not categorical on this aspect, NASSCOM would continue to represent in the seeking the following clarifications
- That both the "location of provider" and "location of recipient" are determined based contractual locations; and
- Method of determination of contractual location is reasonable.
3. Valuation of self-supplies (Question 24)
In question 24 the valuation of supplies made by the branches to the main branch has been evaluated. It has been clarified that the value delared on the invoice would be deemed to be the open market value of goods and services. In providing this clarification, reliance has been placed on the second proviso to Rule 28 of the CGST Rules.
NASSCOM comments and way forward
FAQs suggest that where multiple offices are involved in a supply, while invoicing could be made from the branch/ office which has executed the contract, a self-supply from the other branches/ offices. However, relying on the second proviso to Rule 28 of the CGST Rules, the fact that any value declared on such invoices would be deemed the open market value is a welcome clarification.
4. SEZ registrations (Question 14 and 15) – The FAQs have now clarified that all SEZ units in a State can obtain a single registration. The only requirement is that SEZ units have a separate registration from that of DTA units.
5. Liability under reverse charge in case of OIDAR services from Overseas supplier (Question 17) – The FAQs clarify that in case of OIDAR services provided by an Overseas Supplier, the Overseas Supplier is liable to take registration and pay tax. This clarification is welcome as it reaffirms the position taken by several players that no reverse charge is required to be discharged in case of OIDAR supplies.
6. ISD registration (Question 26) – The FAQs clarify that ISD registration is not mandatory. This clarification is welcome and is in line with the clarification provided by the Government on its Twitter handle.

A Platform of Constructivist Learning in Practice: Computer Literacy Integrated into Elementary School
In Mexico, the conventional teaching approach, when applied specifically to elementary school, seems to fall short of attaining the overall quality objective. The main consequence of this problem is when teachers are not sure that their students really understand the dynamic nature of concepts and mechanism since an early age, particularly in elementary school. This paper presents a pedagogical/technological platform, based on constructivism ideas, as a means of making the learning process in elementary school more efficient and interesting. The constructivist platform presented here uses graphical simulators developed for Web 2.0 as a support tool, creating a teaching and learning environment in which practical experiments can be undertaken as each topic is introduced and explained.
