ALLY McCOIST awoke on Sunday to screaming headlines about the delay in finalising his wage reduction as Rangers boss.
By the afternoon, he was soaked through to the skin and flashing a trademark grin after scoring in a rain-lashed charity game which delivered a huge doze of reality.
It was a rare day off for the Ibrox gaffer and he admits turning out for an East Kilbride Community Trust side against Dukla Pumpherston once again put the chaos and turmoil at the Light Blues into perspective.
The reminder of life's priorities came as he pulled on the boots to raise funds for the family of EKFC coach Rab McMillan who died last month aged just 53 after suffering a heart attack on the training pitch.
Also benefiting from the charity match was Kilby Sunday Club, which supports children with special needs.
And McCoist insists boardroom battles and wage cuts were the last thing on his mind as he netted a trademark strike in front of his hometown fans at the weekend.
After showing his penalty box instincts are still well-tuned, the Rangers boss admitted the Clutha helicopter crash in Glasgow brought another jolt to the senses about overstating the importance of strife within a football club.
He said: "Sometimes you need to take a step back and look at the real tragedies some people are confronted with.
"We have been given a stark reminder of that recently with the helicopter crash in Glasgow.
"I think we could all be doing with taking a small reality check, especially coming up to this time of year.
"Whether that is underprivileged kids or those people out there who are less fortunate than ourselves.
"The tragedy at the Clutha pub does give you a jolt about what really matters in life.
"If ever you start to get carried away with your own problems and you start saying to yourself, 'this is a disaster' a reality check every now and again doesn't do you any harm.
"These are two great causes. As a regular visitor, I know how much The Sunday Club means to the children and I think everyone in the East Kilbride football community was touched by the loss of Rab."
McCoist's support of the East Kilbride Community Trust does not just consist of personal appearances in celebrity football games as he's more hands on than he'd care to admit.
But the Gers gaffer is adamant he takes more out of his involvement with the charity than he puts in.
Fresh from a weekend win over Ayr United which has taken his Rangers side 16 points clear at the top of League One, McCoist admits that statistic mattered little to the children he had given up his time to support.
He said: "From a selfish point of view, I come to functions such as the one on Sunday and I get a huge boost from them.
"I do get a reality check and I'm reminded there are more important things in life than football.
"In a selfish way, we feel good about being involved in this initiative which isn't really the idea.
"It's about seeing the smiles on the kids' faces and with the greatest respect to them, they couldn't give a monkey's that we beat Ayr United 3-0 at the weekend or that we have drawn Dunfermline at home in the Scottish Cup.
"They just want to see Santa and want to be happy. That, in the grand scheme of things, is more important than anything."
Hundreds of spectators gathered at East Kilbride's K-Park for a game which gave McCoist the chance to get back to his roots for a very good cause.
The Rangers legend's family still live locally and he insists it's a labour of love for him to return to the town of his birth to raise money for local charities.
He said: "It's absolutely fantastic to come along and see all the kids enjoying themselves and having the chance to meet Santa.
"This is basically all about putting something back into the community. I am born and bred in East Kilbride and my mum still lives in Calderwood so I come back to the town at least a couple of times a week.
"A lot of my mates still stay in Calderwood so this is really important and it's something which is very close to me.
"There are a lot more people behind the scenes who put in a whole lot more work than me.
"My role here is effectively to turn up and smile while I get my photograph taken.
"There are loads of people who put in so much of their own time to help improve the lives of other people who aren't so fortunate.
"The work which goes on behind the scenes is fantastic and I only play a small part in what is a terrific charity which helps so many."

Just wanted to post a card I've made for a lovely friend who has just had a heart attack........what an awful shock for everyone. Still from what I've heard she's back home and hopefully (!!!) taking it easy.
It's been mainly made using the Heartfelt Creations Birds & Blooms collection. The sentiment is from SU Sincere salutations. The roses, card candy and ribbon were from my stash. I used Sue Wilson pierced rectangles to die cut all the mats. Added a bit of bling on the centres of the flowers with some Glamour Dust.
Thanks for dropping by.
Happy crafting.

This is tooooooo good
Biggest thing that stood out to me was that Raleigh lost another resident due to high rent prices. I love my city, but soon I may not be able to live here either! Sad. Anyway: Great piece! Glad to have you!
Why must the MC Escher quotes be removed? I was really hoping they'd stay up looooong after the exhibit closes.
I find it really, really, REALLY hard to believe that anyone living high up in the PNC tower requires ear-plugs to go to sleep. Or anywhere downtown. Please. Close your window, perhaps?
I'm wondering why all the hate for further development growth? What is wrong with putting more buildings and increasing density in our city, exactly? I understand we need to get better public transport in order and more incentives for retail/small business growth before really going crazy with more buildings/skyscrapers, and I absolutely am not advocating for more cookie-cutter, monolithic, suburban style 5-story apartment buildings that include zero ground floor retail/restaurant space- those need to stop. But more towers (keyword: towers) built on downtown surface parking lots would be a welcome addition to the city skyline and I'd like to see more yearning for that.
Philippic - what does any of that "prove?" Charge 1: Unless he was being an annoying drunk or trying to drive under the influence, but all it was for is "possession of alcohol" so who cares, stupid law. Charge 2: MJ shouldn't be illegal anyway, stupid law. Charge 3: he's a black kid, he was probably resisting an officer who was trying to arrest him for sneezing too loudly.
Raleigh, at the very least vote for Matt. The dude has VISION. He would be the most important asset to the growth and future image of our great city, if elected.

LAKE GEORGE, N.Y. >> Sometimes in theater cute is good enough. It's certainly the case with dinner theater, where after a full meal a light fragile play is often preferable to a dark classic.
With this in mind "The Great Kooshog Lake Hollis McCauley Fishing Derby," which is being offered as a dinner theater production by Lake Theatre at the Holiday Inn in Lake George, might be the ideal entertainment for anyone looking for a relaxing evening after a leaf-peeping expedition.
The gentle comedy that plays through October 21, places no demands on the audience. Indeed, it's a pleasant diversion as it is able to walk that thin line between sweet and saccharine. "Fishing Derby" is the kind of play in which the characters are extremely likeable for the two hours you spend with them, but easy to forget by the time you get home.
"Fishing Derby" is about James Bell, a young investment specialist who is a success driven man. He's devoted several years to a corporation, and now suspects his loyalty is not being returned. On his way to an important meeting his car breaks down in the remote rural community of Kooshog Lake, the weekend of its famous fishing derby.
The derby is not about the size of a fish or the amount of fish caught. It's what publicists like to call "quirky". It's about catching a specific fish. The contest is a winner-take-all, and if there is no winner the purse rolls over. This year it is worth more than $90,000.
It's not hard to guess what happens over the play's two acts, but playwright Norm Foster isn't interested in developing a plot. The reward of this play is not seeing what happens, but to enjoy seeing it happen. Foster is more concerned with showing the feel good emotions that happen when good people set examples for other potentially good people.
Just as the plot is predictable, so are the characters who are little more than types. There's Sienna, a feisty older woman who runs the general store. She's tough, but secretly lonely. Too, what would a small town be without an older, cynical, fix-anything type of guy – who also happens to be unmarried? As a bonus, giving him the name Kirk Douglas, offers frequent opportunities to get easy laughs whenever things get slow.
Two women also reside in Kooshog Lake. One is Rhonda, an aggressive man-hungry, sexy redhead. The other is Melanie, a quiet, sweet young woman who is getting over a failed relationship with Sienna's never-seen son. Guess who James falls for?
Because the characters are so one-dimensional it is difficult to fault the actors for performing in a one-dimensional manner. In this case, competent is all the script demands. However, one can fault director Jarel Davidow for not setting a brisker pace and for not being a little more inventive with some of the comic situations the material provides. But even though Davidow doesn't prevent the extended ending from plodding, you must blame the playwright for writing at least three separate endings for the play in order to provide resolution for everything – including issues we've almost forgotten about.
Despite many creative problems, the production does provide a relaxing night of theater. Perhaps that's because the work follows a very satisfying meal that is included in the price. My salmon was excellent, as was companion's medallions of beef with Bordelaise sauce. No one at our table tried the chicken or vegetarian pasta. All meals come with a salad, fresh rolls, a vegetable and a piece of cheese cake for dessert – along with either coffee or tea. Prices range from $63-$69 for meal and a show. It's a fair price for a good meal and pleasant entertainment.
"The Great Kooshog Lake Hollis McCauley Fishing Derby" continues at the Holiday Inn in Lake George through October 21. For tickets and schedule information call 518-668-5762 ext. 411 or go to laketheatreproductions.com

February 17, 2012
1:00 pm
This past Wednesday, 20+ young entrepreneurs gathered across a 4-location telepresence, with one startup in each location pitching their concept and receiving feedback from the collected brainpower. The Startup Telepresence Roundtable at DC's AT&T Innovation Center was a part of DC's Social Media Week.
The startups that participated included:
- E[nstitute] of New York, NY, a two-year apprenticeship program that allows 15 young adults to learn from and work with top NYC entrepreneurs
- Ashoka Changemakers of Washington, DC, which provides the tools and resources to empower everyone to contribute to a better world
- Boutiika of San Francisco, CA, which lets you search local boutiques for new arrivals from independent designers and favorite brands
- VaultBox of Miami, FL, an app that we recently covered, lets you keep an accurate inventory of valuable items in your home
Our 5 startup key takeaways:
- Use press coverage to your advantage – Don't just rely on giant news industry sites to pick up your product. Reach out to bloggers and other news outlets such as Help A Reporter Out. Use the initial press you get to leverage yourself into a position where you can to reach out to larger press outlets.
- Utilize organizations and users in your similar interest groups – Reach out to people in your industry (don't forget your local university and also celebrities).
- Quality over quantity – Don't just try to get everyone in the world to sign up and/or mentor your startup. Take the time to research what your target market wants and which mentors can really bring constructive value.
- Be transparent – The more your startup is willing to share information, the more feedback you're able to receive. However, it's your responsibility to sort through the the onslaught of advice.
- Use your network and your network's network – Ask for help and make it publicly known. Sometimes that one contact you thought was impossible to reach may be closer than you think. Think serendipity (as suggested by Edward R. Barrientos, CEO of Brazen Careerist)

Reviews for Back to the Well:
"This book will ruffle some feathers as well as open some minds, but for anyone who cares about the earth's most precious resource, it is worth the read." — Publisher's Weekly (2015-11-19)
"Having laid out a discouraging list of the world's water-related problems, de Villiers does not fail to put forward some solutions. In fact, since there are so many different water-related crises, each with its own challenges, he offers a large toolbox of solutions." — Winnipeg Free Press (2015-10-21)
"Marq de Villiers's latest book on water, Back to the Well, is an impressive survey from the brink of water wars, failures, and crises, culminating in a forceful prescription for a sustainable water future. The soft path of demand-side management, at the heart of Green strategies, is a hopeful and practical direction." — Elizabeth May, OC, MP, Leader of the Green Party of Canada (2015-09-01)
"Marq de Villiers is an expert guide to the vast and contentious terrain of water management, and in Back to the Well he steers skilfully past ideological excess and careless hyperbole to provide a clear and thorough account of the state of the planet's water today. This is a provocative and engagingly written book that strikes a welcome balance between hard-eyed truth and buoyant optimism." — Chris Turner, author of The Leap and The War on Science (2015-09-01)
Amazon Readers Write:
By "Turning Point" on Dec 16 2015
Back to the Well reveals the rapidly increasing threats to clean water around our planet. Mr. de Villiers provides accurate information, a global perspective, and suggests practical actions we should take to meet these threats. He invites us to think big and think small at the same time. Bread may be the staff of life but without potable water we'll choke on it.
Back to the Well poses important questions such as who owns water—and who ought to? How should we balance the "soft path" approach (water management to reduce demand) with the "hard path" (dams, reservoirs, pipelines treatment plants, high-end technology, and the like)?
It may have been Mark Twain who said, "Whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting over." Mr. de Villiers tells us who is already fighting and—with 1.5 billion people without access to safe water—who will be. More frequent "water wars" may be avoided if Back to the Well motivates readers to join the growing legion of activists who refuse to accept the status quo.
Politicians who are "climate change deniers" also have their heads buried in the ever-expanding sand with respect to water problems. They may not read this book—but the rest of us should.
Excellent Read
By "Lisa Turner" on Dec 21 2015
Marq de Villiers's conversational writing style makes Back to the Well a pleasure to read. At the same time, its contents make your brain buzz. He never rehashes the obvious, gnashes his teeth in despair, or suggests unattainable panaceas. After suggesting many practical solutions, his summation is that we need to be smarter in our policies, spend as much as we have to, and play much better together.
Mr. de Villiers is also the author of Water: The Fate of Our Most Precious Resource in which he analyzed the quantity and quality of the world water supply. Like Back to the Well, it is a must read.

King Lear
Explain Kent's speech at the end of act 2 scene two
Explain Kent's speech at the end of scene two
Explain Kent's speech at the end of scene two
At the end of Scene two, Oswald claims that he has spared Kent because of his grey beard at which Kent scoffs. He describes that Oswald is like a dog, ignorantly following a master. To Cornwall's incredulousness, Kent says that he does not like the look of his face. Oswald explains that Kent had no reason to strike him in Lear's company or to draw on him at Gloucester's. Kent refers to Cornwall and Regan as cowards and they call for the stocks. Regan comments that they should leave him not only until noon, as Cornwall had suggested, but for over a day. Gloucester protests but is overruled. After the others have exited, Gloucester apologizes to Kent and admits that the Duke is to blame. Alone, Kent muses over a letter he has received from Cordelia, implying that she knows he has taken disguise and promises to try to save her father from the evil of her sisters. Kent recognizes he is at the bottom of luck. He falls asleep.

The photos that I take and post of this beauty are probably decreasing in regularity. And the stories I tell about her life are as well. That's certainly not because she doesn't have a million exciting things going on in her life. It's mostly because she has her own accounts and stories to tell. And I'm trying to respect that...most of the time.
But she recently needed a photo for an application submission and insisted on an up to date photo because her hair color recently changed...
...so we went down to the Suspension Bridge and got a few (breezy and cold) shots on Superbowl Sunday.
She didn't feel well, was diagnosed with an infected throat the next morning, and had two animals to prepare for show...but - as usual - her sweet smile and sparkling eyes made an appearance.
Sometimes it's hard to believe this beauty is mine. And I wouldn't trade her for the world.

Open Thread: Talk About Sex & Love — No Conversation Is or Ever Will Be Off Limits Here
Here's your place to come talk about sex and love whenever you feel like it.
Okay, okay people! I get the message! I hope you got from my article on obsessively monitoring my husband's lube that this is not something I actually WANTED to do, it's something I HAD to do. Like clicking my teeth on my glass a certain number of times before taking a drink (OCD?) or checking the lock on the door five times before bed.
And doesn't everybody kind of wonder about their significant other and their alone time? Well, apparently not.
Have you ever heard that rational people think they are crazy and crazy people think they are rational? I think that's what was going on here. I've been riding on the Crazy Train for a long time and didn't realize it. After reading your heated and sometimes mean (it's OK, I get it) comments, I made the decision to tell my husband about my ongoing clandestine operation.
I wasn't sure exactly how or when to bring it up, how much to say, or -- most importantly -- HOW I was going to make myself stop. But I knew it had to be done.
The next day at work I called him into my office and had him shut the door (we work in the same place, convenient for marital discussions). I'm sure he was either thinking a) I was about to break up with him or b) we were about to get it on.
Here's how it went down:
Me: Um...so...hi.
Husband: Hi?
Me: Don't be scared. Ok, soooooo, you know how I told you a while back I was maybe going to be writing a blog?
Husband: (furrowed brow, scared) Yeeaahhhh.....
Me: Well, I sort of did. And it was sort of about us. Well, you. Well, me and you but not together.
Husband: Huh?
Me: Ok, so, (note to reader: I use "so" a lot when I am stalling), remember when we lived in Hillcrest and I told you that it kind of bothered me when you masturbated?
Husband: Yeah. I think it still does.
Me: Mmm hmm. Well, yeah. So I kind of…scouted out your lube bottle and started checking it to see when you were using it.
Husband: Uh huuhhh...(waiting to hear how much crazier I was going to get).
Me: Well. That's it. And I wrote a blog about it. And everyone was hating on me (well, not everyone, thank you non-haters) and I realized that they were kind of right and it wasn't fair for me to be a) invading your privacy and b) blogging about it without telling you. (Note to reader: yes, I always rank alphabetically when I talk.)
Pause. Deep Breath.
So I'm sorry and I am not going to do it anymore and I know you are totally normal and I am the freak and you can be mad at me if you want.
Husband: I'm not mad. Why does it bother you so much?
Me: Dude I don't know! I think partly because I am jealous and partly because I think it's hot?
Husband: You can watch if you want. I could just put a peep-hole in the door for you.
Me: Yeah, I guess you could. I could learn your moves.
Husband: I kind of want to have sex with you right now.
In the world's Top Five list of understanding husbands, mine is probably up there. Keep in mind, he knows that I lay awake all night obsessing over whether I've chosen the right career, spent enough time with the kids to make them well-adjusted adults and how I can pay off our debt within two years. He knows I never do anything half-assed. Why start with lube checking?
And although it has definitely not been easy, I have put an imaginary force field around his bottle and have stayed far away. When he gets up to shower I keep myself busy in another room (you can take that anyway you want but I MEANT, like, cleaning).
He definitely isn't going to let me off the hook very easily and makes jokes about it all the time, but the kind of jokes that invoke a smile and an eye roll, not more feelings of guilt. I still feel a little weird knowing he does it (not sure that will ever change) but I am at least going to give him the privacy he deserves. Though I might consider taking him up on the peep-hole suggestion.

An exciting new project is in the offing – in association with Mapseeker Studios I have established a school of Music Theory and Composition. Hurrah!
More information is available here.
Composition was the main thrust of my degree dissertation anyway, and I never get the opportunity to properly teach theory; it's always in a rush as people realise they need Grade V to go any further. I'm not happy to leave theory as a "chore" exam that must be passed. Good theoretical knowledge unlocks the potential for compositional technique and gives deeper context to how we play our instruments. It's vital core knowledge, and much better if taught early on to students who aren't up against an exam deadline.
At any rate, we're off. The school launches on Thursday 8th May.

Two Teachers Caught Having Sex At A Buffalo Bills Game (Video)
During Sunday's game at Ralph Wilson Stadium between the Buffalo Bills and the Tennessee Titans, Jennifer Rotella, 35, and Michael France, 38, from the Wilson Central School District in New York were caught engaging in sexual activities in a bathroom stall. According to France's wife (who is not the woman he was in the stall with), the couple was arrested as they were exiting the restroom.
Both teachers were charged with public lewdness and will appear in court later this month. They are also being investigated by the school board, which could result in a suspension or their teaching certificates being revoked.
Judging by the image of Jennifer, I'm going to assume that there were plenty of disappointed male students at Stevenson Elementary School after news broke that Miss Rotella wouldn't be around for a while. Here is a look at the new report of the incident.

I haven't held a job in Corporate HR in over two years.
As I explained to Peter Clayton on Total Picture Radio, I left Pfizer in 2007. We planned on moving down to North Carolina and I had every intention of finding a real job. Seriously. I have a spreadsheet that outlines every job I've applied for during the past two years.
Then this blog happened and I developed a personal brand — something that never really happens to HR Generalists and Recruiters. I became known as a woman who provides common sense career advice from the perspective of a disaffected HR professional. I also became known as a crazy cat lady. Both observations are true.
Unfortunately, I was recently advised to drop the moniker of Human Resources professional. I was told, "You're no longer a Human Resources generalist and you don't recruit, anymore. You're a critic and you give out career advice. No offense, but you are not HR."
Never mind that I write a column for The Conference Board Review called HR: You Are Doing It Wrong. Forget that I'm an active member of SHRM and work overtime to influence the national debate on elevating our career field. Let's ignore the fact that I speak at HR conferences and have several on my docket for 2010.
No, let's focus on important things. Let's have an inter-HR disagreement about who is and isn't part of our profession because that's what strategic thinkers and leaders do.
And obviously, I'm not HR enough for some people.
After two difficult conversations where I defensively laid out my bona fides, I decided that I was done with this mediocre conversation. A very good boss of mine once told me that I should receive feedback and simply say thank you. So thank you, dear colleague, for the feedback — but dammit, I can't help but explain why it's wrong to say that I am no longer worthy of being in HR. (I'm my own worst enemy.)
Yes, I am a writer and a critic. I am also a very good Human Resources practitioner, which is almost sad for me to admit. Some people can make great art. I can plan and execute HR strategies. I see things differently. I don't wear brooches, I don't believe in team building, and I don't ask for buy-in. I'll never be HR enough for some people in this field, which is why this field needs to change.
I realized that there is one thing I can do, though, to silence my HR critics: I can recertify for my SPHR.
After receiving my SPHR at the ripe old age of 25 and maintaining my expert-level certification for nearly 8 years, I let my certification lapse at the end of 2008. I thought, "If I want to take a standardized test, I'll take my LSAT and go to law school."
Unfortunately, if I want to impress the General Foods International Cappucino Cooler Hazelnut coffee drinkers in my field, I need more bona fides than wearing a scarf and a pantsuit.
So I'm taking the SPHR test on December 17th — and I'm tacking on the exam to a trip to Atlanta. I found a testing center, I ordered the books, and I'm ready to go.
I hate being defensive, and I can't address all the criticism that hits my blog — but I can show a few people that I am the new face of HR and I know my stuff.
Watch out, suckers.

Chairman Graham,
Minister Hands,
Lord Sassoon,
My Lords and MPs,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today is the fourth day of the Year of the Rooster. The feeling of celebration is still in the air.
In the Chinese culture, the rooster stands for renewed vigor and good luck. So I would like to begin by wishing everyone good health and prosperity in the New Year!
This is the sixth APPCG Chinese New Year Reception that I have attended since I came to London as Chinese Ambassador. Every time is very enjoyable.
Last year when we gathered here, no one would have expected that Britain would go through so many changes within just one year. The British people voted to leave the EU and Britain got a new Prime Minister and a new Cabinet.
Some say Britain has undergone a "political earthquake" and its future is full of "uncertainties".
However, in the face of uncertainties the UK once again demonstrates to the world the strong "resilience" of the British people. After the Brexit referendum, the UK's economy maintained a solid growth momentum far better than was widely expected.
We are also pleased to see that China-UK relationship is also showing "resilience". Thanks to the concerted efforts of both countries, the relationship steadied in a time of transition and continued to grow:
· President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Theresa May had a successful meeting in Hangzhou. Both leaders reaffirmed our shared commitment to the "Golden Era" of China-UK relations and our global comprehensive strategic partnership at a new level.
· The dialogue mechanisms between our two countries ran smoothly:
o The Economic and Financial Dialogue.
o The High Level People to People Dialogue.
o And the Strategic Dialogue were held successively.
· Also, our two countries held:
o The first China-UK High Level Security Dialogue.
o The first China-UK Regional Leaders Summit.
o And the ninth China-UK Leadership Forum.
· There were notable outcomes of our financial and nuclear cooperation. China issued RMB sovereign bond in London for the first time. And China, Britain and France signed the package deal of Hinkley Point C nuclear project.
· People-to-people contacts and cultural exchanges received a further boost as our two countries commemorated the 400th anniversary of the passing of Tang Xianzu and William Shakespeare. We also began to issue two-year multi-entry visas to each other's nationals and increased flight capacity to facilitate mutual visits.
· On global issues, China and the UK have showed our strong sense of responsibilities as big nations. We worked closely together within the G20 and at the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. We had effective communication and cooperation on global governance, climate change, free trade, sustainable development, peacekeeping and counter-terrorism.
The parliamentary exchanges between our two countries have also maintained a sound momentum:
· Last year, the APPCG sent two delegations to China.
· Delegations from China's National People's Congress, the Chinese People's Political Consultation Conference, the Ministry of Supervision and other political parties also visited the UK for exchanges with the British Parliament.
These visits enabled exchange of views and experience sharing between the two sides over issues such as the economy, rule of law, judicial reform and anti-corruption.
I myself joined the APPCG discussions twice last year to answer your questions, share views, build trust and promote cooperation.
2017 marks the 45th anniversary of the ambassadorial diplomatic relations between China and the UK. This is good moment to review the bilateral relationship in the past and outline the vision for the future:
· Over the past 45 years, China-UK relations have seen remarkable achievements despite some ups and downs.
· Looking into the future, challenges still exist. But, we are confident that we are able to ensure the steady growth of China-UK relations in the "Golden Era". This will deliver more "golden fruits" to our two countries and the rest of the world.
In 2017, the UK will start and proceed with the Brexit negotiation. Against this background, one needs to think seriously about how China and the UK could overcome the challenges. We need to work closely together and seize the opportunities to advance this "Golden Era" of China-UK relations.
I think President Xi gave us the answers when he said this in Davos:
"We should share opportunities and interests through opening-up and achieve win-win outcomes."
He also said:
"In the face of both opportunities and challenges of economic globalization, the right thing to do is to seize every opportunity, jointly meet challenges and chart the right course for economic globalization."
If we put these words in the context of China-UK relations, there are quite a few things that we can do together:
· First, China and the UK should begin looking into the free trade negotiation as soon as possible. We need to upgrade our business cooperation. We need to forge a more open partnership for trade and investment.
· Second, China and the UK should strengthen cooperation on science and technology, education and creative industries. We need closer cooperation involving all our industries, the universities and the research institutions in order to boost our respective economic growth.
· Third, China and the UK should stay committed to an open global economy. We must support free trade and oppose protectionism. We must stand for multilateralism and oppose unilateralism. We must advance a globalization process that is more inclusive and sustainable.
· Fourth, China and the UK should continue to dovetail our respective development strategies and strive for new progress in our cooperation under the "Belt and Road" Initiative.
All in all, Brexit will mean both challenges and opportunities. However, there is much China and the UK can do to build our global comprehensive strategic partnership for the 21st century. There is huge potential to advance the "Golden Era" of China-UK relations.
The British Parliament plays a crucial role in British politics. Meanwhile, it is also an important player in building China-UK relations.
I have learned that the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Commons is going to conduct an inquiry into China-UK relations. I hope this inquiry will help advance China-UK ties. I hope it will come up with good advice and suggestions for our bilateral cooperation. And I hope it will play a positive role in shaping our future relations.
It is also my hope, my Lords and MPs, that you will be all the more actively engaged in China-UK inter-parliamentary dialogues and exchanges in the new year.
I would count on your support for the cooperation between China and the UK across the board.
Let us commit ourselves to working closely to contribute to the "Golden Era" of China-UK relations!
In conclusion, let me again wish everyone a happy and prosperous Year of the Rooster!
Thank you.

It's been a while since LG made a big splash in the Android arena. The Optimus 3D and the Optimus 2X seem like distant memories.
But all that could be set to change as there's rumours afoot, fuelled by these (slightly suspect looking we have to say) leaked shots of the supposed LG Optimus U1.
The U1 is, if the rumour mill rings true, a super skinny Android Ice Cream Sandwich device that looks to be packing an 8-megapixel camera.
In its native Korea, LG Telecom (the network the company owns) recently changed its name to LG U+, so the LG U1 name could signify a native release only.
We hope not though, as it looks like a right skinny little minx. Although we have our doubts when it comes to the ICS claims. After all, it looks to be packing a shiny, but physical, home button. One not needed by the updated Google OS.
We'll track this one with a keen eye.....

That's exactly how the itch on my leg feels. It's amazing, I tell ya. Frankly, this post is primarily aimed at distracting me from it. I really want to claw at my shin. I thought giving it some fresh air after being under the gauze all day would be refreshing. Apparently I have not dealt with gauze-smothered wounds nearly enough!
I'm finding my extra free time is not nearly as productive as I was hoping just yet. I'm going to try to turn that around this week. Need to read some more papers and clear my head of these random distractions that plague me so. I have a tendency to hop on the computer as of late and not do much. I'll peruse my usual news/information sites, refresh my RSS feeds, and then find out there's really nothing to do. Yay, setting myself up for disappointment! That was a big oops.
The softball season is up in two weeks. We've got two games left to play, and we're sitting 0-8 so far. Typical for our team, but as always for us, every team has a great time playing with us. That's primarily thanks to the majority of the team that happens to be a wise bunch of smart-alecks who know how to poke fun at themselves and each other in a (usually) tasteful manner. I feel a little at a loss on the team 'cause I only catch right now (I pitched last year, and played all over the place 1st year) and seem to lack the off-the-hip wit that most of the others have. I blame it on a lack of self-confidence that still likes to present itself every now and then. I still give too much of a damn what other people think of me to throw those kind of comments out without reprise.
In other news, it's still a balmy 78˚F here in north Amherst, and I would like to try to get my ass to bed. And re-bandage my shin…this itch is just unbearable.
Note to self: find more music by the Dodos. Enjoyable, energetic, just enough twang with the thump and it's quite enjoyable.

eMarketer: Mobile Continues to Steal Share of US Adults' Daily Time Spent with Media
Mobile usage to grow 23% this year while time spent online and with traditional media declines
NEW YORK, NY (April 22, 2014) — In 2013, time spent with digital media among US adults surpassed time spent with TV for the first time — with mobile driving the shift. This year, that trend will continue, according to new figures from eMarketer, as time spent with mobile devices continues to grow much faster than usage of all other media.
eMarketer estimates that the average US adult will spend 5 hours 46 minutes with digital media each day this year, increasing digital's lead over television to well more than an hour per day. In 2014, US adults will watch traditional television programming for an average of 4 hours and 28 minutes per day, eMarketer estimates. That's down from 2013, but just a mere 3 minutes. Digital media, in our definition, includes PCs, mobile devices and other devices that access the internet, which include viewing streaming video on smart TVs, connected internet gaming consoles, and so forth.
Read the full press release for eMarketer's latest figures on time spent with media in the US.

Trump: Boycott them
NEW YORK (AP) — Rapper Flo Rida has pulled out of his guest appearance at the "Miss USA" pageant later this month and Macy's has dumped Donald Trump, part of the continued fallout over the GOP hopeful's remarks about Mexican immigrants during his presidential campaign announcement.CBS News reports-
Earlier Wednesday, Macy's became the latest company to end its relationship with Trump. Companies have been cutting ties with Trump left and right after his presidential campaign kickoff speech last week in which he declared that some Mexican immigrants bring drugs and crime to the U.S. and are rapists.
NBC, Spanish-language station Univision, TV company Ora TV and Mexican TV network Televisa have cut ties with Trump. The developer is suing Univision for $500 million for breach of contract for dropping the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants, which are a joint venture between NBC and Trump. The pageant will be live-streamed on the Miss USA website.
Macy's said in a statement that the retailer is "disappointed and distressed" by Trump's remarks and will end its relationship with him.
Macy's has carried a Donald Trump menswear line since 2004, including $70 button down-shirts and $65 striped ties.
For all of those who want to #MakeAmericaGreatAgain, boycott @Macys. They are weak on border security & stopping illegal immigration.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 1, 2015

"You can't expect families like my own to feel integrated and accepted, and then tell their children that the only country they have lived in should still be considered foreign."
As a young person who naturally embraces the Irish culture I grew up with, alongside the Nigerian culture I was born into, I find it interesting that far too many people are ready to challenge the fact that someone like myself can identify as Irish and Nigerian because they don't seem to think that these two worlds should be put together.
I am one of the many Nigerian young adults that have lived in this country since before they were of schooling age and knows more about Ireland than their place of birth.
However, it is difficult for me to understand that other people are so readily willing to strip me of my Irish identity due to the fact that I am black or that I was born in Nigeria.
While the idea of some people having two countries to call home is not a new thing, I think Ireland still has a long way to go when it comes to accepting these people as their own.
Many people of various nationalities have made a life for themselves in Ireland and have gone on to plant and grow their family trees here.
You can't expect families like my own to feel integrated and accepted, and then tell their children that the only country they have lived in should still be considered foreign.
I know that some people reading this might argue that once you are born in a country then that is what your nationality is and that is were you allegiance should lie.
However, does that mean that my brother and sister who were born in Ireland should only identify as Irish and deny their Nigerian background just because they weren't born there?
When you have dual nationality you will forever feel split between the two worlds that are your home. However the people in it will make your home feel alien to you.
I have grown accustomed to protecting myself with an in-depth explanation about how I was born in X, raised in Y, and my lack of an accent makes me sound like I'm from Z, but really I feel both X&Y.
I'm readily prepared with this explanation because it saves time and means that I am less likely to get irritated when someone tries to make a statement about how you can't be black and Irish/African and Irish/Nigerian because that isn't a "thing".
What annoys me even more is the fact that my younger brother and sister, who were both born in the south-west region of Ireland, are forever being questioned about their Irish identity because of the tell-tale colour of their skin or the fact that they are constantly being labelled because they don't talk or act like the African stereotypes that circulate social media.
No, people with dual nationalities are not trying to adopt a second culture and claim it as their own, it just happens to be the culture that they've always known.
There are days where I find myself wishing my cultural identity and nationality didn't have to contradict so much, but I've come to the realisation that while others may choose to not understand it, it is not up to me to try and force them to.
Rather it is up to me to inform them and be happy with the two cultures that make me who I am.

HARTFORD - — On-the-job city public works crews and those clearing city streets got an unexpected bonus Saturday evening.
Dinner at the Hartford Marriott Downtown.
The Arthur Murray Studios had an employee appreciation night planned Saturday evening for 126 people at the hotel located next to the Connecticut Convention Center. When organizers decided to cancel it Saturday morning, they learned the hotel had a "no refund" policy for such a late decision on the paid dinners.

Looking for a share house (Kathmandu)
This is my first post on InterNations, so a big hi to you all!
I will be moving to Kathmandu in late February and would be very interested in finding a share house with some relaxed, like-minded people. If anyone is looking for a house mate please feel free to drop me a line and I'd be happy to give you some more information about myself. I've been told that word-of-mouth is the best way to find accommodation in Kathmandu, so if anyone knows of any opportunities I'd love to hear about them.
Best wishes for the festive season,

What Derrick Favors Must Do to Become the Next Dwight HowardOctober 22, 2013
Derrick Favors isn't Dwight Howard.
Accept that now, because it's never going to change. The two play different positions; Favors inhabits the 4, while Howard is a center who thinks he can also play power forward (he can't).
Taken literally, then, Favors can't be compared to Superman, the center. But their excellence, their standing in a thinning hierarchy of talented big men can be.
Though they play two different positions, they're asked to do many of the same things—rebound, score and defend. In that sense, they're the same.
They're also similar in importance. The Houston Rockets invested four years and $88 million in Howard to be a franchise cornerstone next to James Harden. By handing Favors a four-year, $49 million-plus extension, according to Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski, the Utah Jazz are hoping for the same; Favors is someone they want to build around.
Wages remain vastly different because Howard is entering season No. 10, while Favors gears up for his fourth. Superman is also, well, better. He's been around longer and has become a household name. Favors is still best known for his inclusion in the trade that brought the then-New Jersey Nets Deron Williams.
Almost every up-and-coming big, however, gets pitted against Howard. I myself did it with Andre Drummond not too long ago. And ESPN Rise did it with Favors himself in 2008, before he even entered the NBA. That's what happens. Howard is the standard to which all other towers are held.
Can Favors match the level of notoriety Howard has achieved thus far? Can he make a name for himself as the NBA's next dominant behemoth? Or is he fated to reside where most others do—beneath him?
Is He Close?
Not really.
The two entered the league under completely different circumstances. Howard joined an Orlando Magic squad ready to build around him. Favors found himself on a Nets faction looking for a big name to usher it into the next era. He wasn't given a chance to become that name and was then shipped off to a Jazz team flush with talented big man.
A lack of opportunity is part of the reason why Favors' numbers through four seasons pale in comparison to Howard's. The former is averaging 8.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game to Howard's previous 15.1 and 11.6, respectively.
Per-36 minute averages become useful in situations like these, when one player (Howard) sees nearly 15 minutes more a night than another (Favors).
|Favors vs. Howard: The First Three Seasons
Turns out Favors is closer than we think there. Most of Howard's per-36 minutes numbers are better, but none of them put Favors' to shame. Their marginal difference in usage rate is especially telling, since it shows Howard wasn't a crushing focal point of Orlando's offense.
But you can't put an exact value on exposure. Three years into his career, Howard was already averaging over 35 minutes a night and was the most pivotal asset the Magic employed. Favors is only just receiving recognition for what he can do and is averaging just over 21 minutes of burn for his career.
Right now, he's entering a stage of his development Howard had already familiarized himself with.
Remain On the Court
Favors must establish himself as a well-conditioned presence if he wishes to join the ranks of the elite.
Once again, Howard was averaging 35.4 minutes a night entering his fourth year. He has also seen at least 30 minutes of action through each of his first nine seasons, seven of which saw him notch at least 35. Favors, meanwhile, has hovered around the 20-minute mark for his entire career.
While his wings were clipped in ways Howard's never were—playing behind Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap, for instance—Favors has to show he has the stamina to register 30-plus minutes a game.
Think of all the low-post-oriented players who are used sparingly, like JaVale McGee. In fact, only five players classified as a forward and/or center and standing at 6'10" or taller logged more than 35 minutes per game last year—Howard, Anderson Varejao, LaMarcus Aldridge, Al Horford and Joakim Noah.
Big men have a tendency to play less, be it because the NBA is trending toward smaller lineups or because their legs are supporting more weight than others. Playing more doesn't make you elite, but it is how the select few distinguish themselves from the rest. And it's how Howard has separated himself from everyone. The man saw over 35 minutes every night during an injury-plagued campaign in 2012-13; he's always in the game.
That's how you make an impact—by being on the floor.
Become an Automatic Double-Double Threat
Entering his fourth NBA season, Howard had notched a double-double in each of his previous three years. Although Favors' per-36 minute numbers suggest he could've too if given the opportunity, it's time for him to prove it.
Double-double monsters remain hard to come by. Last year, nine players posted at least 10 points and 10 rebounds per game. In 2011-12, just seven players did the same. Seven players also did it in 2010-11.
To be sure, since Favors entered the league, a total of 23 season-long double-doubles consisting of rebounds and points have been averaged. And only 16 different players account for those 23 occurrences, all of whom aren't superstars (Kris Humphries), but 10 of whom have at least one All-Star appearance to their names.
To achieve a similar status to Howard's, players have to put up gaudy stat lines. Flashy production totals are often considered overrated, but points scored and rebounds grabbed are the most immediate and accessible forms of evaluation we have.
During games, those box score-based numbers enable you tell how well Favors is playing. If he wants to receive due credit as a first-class big, he has to light those box scores up the same way Howard has for nearly a decade.
Pick-and-Roll Monopolies
Pick-and-rolls may not tickle Howard's fancy the way a shot clock-draining post-up will, but he's good within them. Strike that—he's great within them.
Per Synergy Sports (subscription required), Howard scored 1.29 points per possession as the roll man last season, the ninth-best mark in the league. He also converted 79.6 percent of his shots in those situations, a ridiculous total when you consider he buried 57.8 percent of his field-goal attempts overall.
Favors didn't find similar success. His 0.85 points per possession ranked 119th in the NBA, and he connected on only 42.4 percent of his attempts as the roll man.
In some ways, we could chalk Favors' struggles up to a lack of playing time, like we could everything else. But can we really?
Pick-and-rolls accounted for 11.4 percent of Howard's total offensive touches last year; Favors was sitting a bit prettier at 11.8. Just look at the difference when the points scored per possession are extrapolated to show what they would look like per 100 possessions:
The amount of time each spent as a roll man is similarly proportionate to the number of offensive touches they received. Howard, at this stage of his career, is clearly more of a force when rolling to the basket. This type of detachment from the average player is what Favors must shoot for moving forward.
Developing and marketing that skill more than post-ups will have to be a focus as well. Like Howard, a majority of Favors' touches come where he's not most effective.
Post-ups accounted for 28.5 percent of Favors' offensive possessions last season, more than double that of his roll man usage. But he averaged fewer points per possession (0.82) and shot a lower percentage from the floor (41.2) in those instances.
Howard battled the same issue. Almost half (48.5 percent) of his possessions came in the form of post-ups when he averaged a mere 0.74 points per possessions and shot a forgettable 44.5 percent from the field.
Improving effectiveness with his back to the basket while becoming a more frequent and dangerous pick-and-roll finisher holds the key to Favors' offensive potential. Failure to adjust to the shifting themes—less post-ups, more pick-and-rolls—will curb his ceiling considerably.
Profound Impact
Individual numbers mean nothing if they don't have a positive impact on a player's team.
Favors' two blocks per-36 minutes are impressive, but does his defense make the Jazz's defense better? It does. Better than Howard's did at this point of his career.
Howard's teams have been better by 1.4 points per 100 possessions with him in the game over the course of his career. Early on, though, he struggled to have as potent an impact. After three seasons, the Magic were, on average, 1.2 points better with him off the floor.
Through three years, Favors' units have allowed an average of 3.6 points fewer per 100 possessions when he's on the floor, giving him a 4.8-point edge over Howard when he approached Year 4. But our case isn't closed.
There are two sides to every court, and while we know Favors can leave his stamp on the defensive end, it's equally important he do the same on offense. So far, he hasn't. Not like he should, and most definitely not like Howard did.
On the offensive side of the ball, Howard has the clear advantage. Entering Year 4, the Magic scored an average of 3.2 points more per 100 possessions when he was on the floor. Conversely, Favors' teams are 4.3 points better when he's on the bench.
The gap on offense makes all the difference, as you can see below:
Combined plus/minus ultimately matters more than anything. Orlando closed out Howard's first three years outscoring opponents by two points per 100 possessions with him on the floor, and Howard's teams are a plus-5.9 with him in the game for his career.
To this point, Favors' teams are actually being outscored by almost a point when he's playing, negating the effect he has on their defense and then some. In order to reach that next level, in order to become Howard's peer, he must become a reliable difference-maker on both ends.
Three Defensive Player of the Year awards have left Howard lauded as a defender, but he wouldn't be where he is now without bringing that same influence to the offensive side.
For all his imperfections, he makes his teams better. Not just on defense or offense—both. Until Favors can say the same, until we see that the Jazz are better in more than one aspect of the game with him it, joining Howard and the rest of the Association's world-class big men will seem like a pipe dream.

The great capital of Addis Ababa is patrolled by soldiers who speak provincial Tigrinya and not the local tongue and Ethiopian national language, Amharic. That can lead to confusion and conflict. The Tigreans rebelled against the imperialism of the Amhara, whether under theocratic emperor or Marxist junta. Now the Amhara not unreasonably fear the shoe on the other foot.
Ethiopian rulers had clout on the Red Sea coast until the 16th century, when the Turks invaded. At the end of the 19th century, Italy beat out Egypt and Ethiopia to set up the modern colony of Eritrea. Eritrean identity is an Italian invention. An Italian attempt to conquer Ethiopia was crushed in 1895 at Adowa (now a rebel-held town in Tigre) and Ethiopia won recognition as a modern state.
In 1935, Italy did conquer Ethiopia and unite it with Eritrea. Britain ousted Italy in 1941, freeing Ethiopia and separating it from Eritrea, which became a British protectorate. British withdrawal in 1952 left Eritrea, by United Nations edict, as an autonomous province of federal Ethiopia. Ten years later, Emperor Haile Selassie incorporated Eritrea wholly into his realm, provoking rebellion. The Marxist officers who overthrew the emperor should have come to terms with Eritrean autonomism, but instead became more imperialist.

At ISS we value our relationship with you and want to convey our commitment to your privacy. We have updated our Data Privacy and Protection Policies.
This season, our team traveled over 25,000 miles for our job fairs -- and every mile was worth it! Our international recruitment conferences in Atlanta, Bangkok, and San Francisco brought together an amazing 300+ international school recruiters and 600+ teachers, librarians, administrators, and counselors ready to teach abroad. We could not be prouder of these events: we connected outstanding candidates and school administrators, saw beautiful cities, pioneered a new partnership with Teach Away...and best of all, we saw smiles like these:
Oh the places you'll go!
Since 1955, International Schools Services has faithfully worked to help more than 40,000 teachers, administrators, librarians, and counselors find their dream jobs in schools all over this big, beautiful world. ISS is proud to be the leading non-profit in international recruiting, but we don't take our history for granted. We're working harder than ever, and we think our events show it. We hope you enjoy this recap of this season's job fairs!
This year, our international recruiting fairs took place at three very distinct hotels: the charming Westin Buckhead in Atlanta, the elegant Shangri La in Bangkok, and the hip, Escher-like Hyatt in San Francisco. A few days before the event officially starts, our Global Recruitment team flies in and transforms the hotel meeting spaces into our own ISS offices and lounges.
Neatly arranged candidate folders, just waiting for their teachers
We unload boxes, arrange tables, trim name tags, put out little chocolate globes, and with time and effort, have created the perfect space for candidates and recruiters to come together.
On event check-in days, we welcome a steady stream of attendees from all over the world and specializing in different subjects. We run two main offices for them: one for our job-seekers (teachers, administrators, counselor, librarians and all other candidates) and another for recruiters (international school leaders seeking to fill vacancies in a variety of subjects and content areas). Both offices keep us busy!
While waiting to check in, a recruiter with excellent reading taste peruses the ISS Newslinks
We greet attendees with folders, name tags, and information about how the job fair will run, while also providing general support. Pre-event jitters are completely normal for everyone, from a well-traveled teacher looking for her fifth overseas assignment, to a librarian who has never lived outside his home country. And we can only imagine the pressure our recruiters face to find the perfect next member of their school staff! Our ISS team is there to encourage everyone during the rollercoaster of the next few days.
Pats McWilliams provides expert advice to conference attendees
And even though the job fairs keep everyone busy, we like to remind people to step outside the hotel when they can! These events take place in some beautiful cities, so soaking in the sights shoud be part of the IRC experience.
You might find a cheery marching band San Francisco!
School presentations are perfect thirty-minute opportunities for recruiters to showcase their school. Candidates are free to attend any and all presentations that interest them - we've had candidates decide to attend a presentation on a whim, have their interest piqued, and days later, and leave the conference with a job for that school!
After a busy day of check-in and school presentations, our candidates gather for orientation. At our San Francisco conference, we also featured a panel of seasoned international school educators and recruiters who spoke on everything from binding contracts to bringing your cat abroad.
Candidates getting advice about teaching abroad
After the official presentation, a small crowd gathered around the panelists with questions and comments. But most people headed back to their rooms to get ready for a busy day of interviews!
A candidate still getting wisdom from Rose Puffer, Head of the International School of Islamabad
About thirty minutes before the ballroom doors open, there's a hum in the morning air. In Bangkok, candidates formed a long snaking queue through the upstairs atrium. In San Francisco, a large group clustered in front of the tall doors, waiting. Inside the ballroom, recruiters prepare the room for the dance we call 'interview sign-up'.
Ready and waiting
When the hour arrives and the doors finally open, everyone pours into a room lined with school stations and recruiters. Candidates find the schools they are interested in, chat with the recruiter, and if both parties want to move forward after a brief conversation, set a time for a longer interview later in the day. After a friendly parting handshake, the candidate moves through the ballroom to find another potential match.
So many handshakes going around the room
After the main sign-up session is completed, the conference schedule is much more free-flowing. Throughout the day, candidates and recruiters meet around the hotel for informal conversations, formal meetings and private interviews. Before the sun sets on Interview Sign-Up day, some candidates will already have job offers in hand and contracts signed!
In our candidate and recruiter offices, our ever-present team helps give teachers advice on how to weigh their choices. Both the ISS Global Recruitment team and our broader ISS executive staff are ready to help candidates and recruiters navigate the sea of international recruitment.
An ISS power team, ready to help candidates.

Food and friends and international recruiting -- what could be better?
At our evening social, candidates and recruiters alike take a break from formal interviewing and relax over a glass of wine. It's fun, plus a great networking opportunity - when else will you find a room full of school recruiters from all over the globe, all happy to chat with you over a plate of hummus?
Enormous as the world is, the international school community is surprisingly small and tight-knit. Chances are, a connection and bridge built through one conversation at an ISS job fair could help somewhere down the road when you're ready for your next move. The more people you know in the family, the better!
Also, we have a photographer who will take pictures of you trying to eat!
The closing days are our team's absolute favorite. We've become our attendees' cheerleaders through all the interactions and conversations shared during the job hunt. So when a teacher comes into the candidate office with a smile and a signed "position acceptance" form, we feel like we're headed on the adventure too!
We're cheering on Jeremy...
...Nina and Colin, Tina, and ...
...a whole host of educators who are ready to take on the world!
There are career paths that allow for months of research and multiple visits to the location before taking a job. And then there are career paths where you're offered a job on a continent you've never been to, and after several days of interviewing, networking, doing research in a hotel lobby on your phone, you take the job beaming with excitement for the adventure ahead. It's the crazy and beautiful lifestyle of teaching abroad!
As the event closes and candidates check out, the ISS team takes down the office, packs up our supplies, and jumps on another plane home.
Christina, Tajuan, Ashley, Dana, Megan, and Aliisa hope to see you next time!
When we're back in the ISS Princeton headquarters, we continue to help our candidates, and get ready for the next season of events! Led by Laura Light and featuring the awesome Christina Eberhardt, Tajuan Hardee, Loredana Lipari, Pats McWilliams, Megan Skrobacz, Allyson Wilcox, Ashley Wotowey and Dana Zarrello, the ISS Global Recruitment team put in hours of work, attention, and pure love to make sure the ISS job fairs run smoothly. Fortunately, we've been in this business for over sixty years and our teachers mean the world to us, so we have it down pretty well.
Ready to join us next season? We've announced the dates and locations already! We're pretty excited for them, so we hope you launch your overseas teaching abroad career with us in Atlanta, Bangkok, or New York City.
See you then!
