Last week, I made reference to MKX as the "FGC's singularity". I said it in passing, but over the last few days, I've had time to really consider both the depth & relevance of my statement. A very bright light is about to shine on our community & we need to brace ourselves for it...
For the record, I want to make it abundantly clear that I thoroughly enjoy this game. Outside of actually living under a rock, I fail to see how anyone could ignore the tremendous impact the game's release has had on the landscape over the last few days. It's almost impossible to ignore, but why would you want to? New releases for us, be they big or small, always have an undeniable impact. Saying this game made a impact, however, would feel like an insult. A great deal of work went into this title, that's evident, but the level of attention it's garnered carries some baggage with it. That baggage, however you may or may not feel about it, is what I'd like to discuss today.
First & foremost, while I did enjoy the show, I was actually a little put off by the Fatal 8 Tournament. Yes, it granted us an exclusive preview of a great deal of content & showed us some impressive play from some of the best players in the business today, but it left me wondering why an invitational exhibition of such prestige would happen before the game's official release. Spectacle notwithstanding, what exactly was there to gained from this display? Yes, I'm aware that the tournament allowed us to see some of our favorite returning characters & a few of the new kombatants in action, but what did we (everyone not invited to the Fatal 8) plan to take away from the matches? It's not like we were going to see any breakdown of the game's mechanics or matchups, never mind technical info. We only got to see a handful of the myriad of variations this title offers its roster. In the end, the most important statement made by the tournament was about on par with a featurette of a movie: It gave a glimpse of what's to be expected, but only teased us with the experience as a whole. Again... just left me feeling mildly awkward about the whole production.
Moving on from the Fatal 8, it was announced that the ESL would be getting involved by holding weekly $1,000 tournaments for MKX. This, despite the boon I'm sure it has given the title's notoriety, puts the FGC on display to a certain degree. Anyone who has been involved with the FGC for an extended period of time already knows how this can backfire. Simply put, our reputation isn't exactly shining amongst the gaming population at large. Now, I'm well aware no crowd is exempt from their fair share of foolishness & controversy, but the mentality we've carried up to this point has not exactly been favorable towards the concept of fighters going e-sports. The sense that we'd lose some of our identity in the process has been floating around for years. By shunning & decrying that particular level of attention, it's allowed us to remain somewhat complacent in our ways. However, the times always do change & we have to change along with them. This won't be an easy transition. It's going to require a lot of patience on the part of those not usually affliated with the FGC and a notable increase of tact on our part. Please don't act as if you're unaware of what I'm referring to... it's insulting to everyone's intelligence.
The ESL's involvement raises another issue: the tournament standard. MKX is available on both the Xbox One & PS4 (which is awesome). However, the ESL is understandably only making use of the Xbox One version. All things considered, this should not come as a surprise to anyone who's been following the ESL because their primary games are usually Xbox titles. If you own one, that's not an issue, but what about all those people out there who were hoping to hedge their bets since Guilty Gear Xrd already is & Street Fighter 5 is going to be a PS4 exclusive? I'm positive they figured they had found their "one stop shop" in terms of console choice when it comes to fighters. Now, though, everyone wants a shot at that weekly $1K... which is exclusive to the Xbox One. Where does that leave the upcoming major tournament season? Will there be a consistent choice of console? What if most TOs initially choose to go with the PS4 version, but then Microsoft & the ESL get involved to support the title? That's a looming mountain of discarded hardware to consider in the long run.
As for the game itself, while I am genuinely in awe of its intent & scope, the Variation System is another steadily approaching headache that will undoubtedly need to be remedied. Case in point, Ermac's Spectral Variation. There's a cancel you can perform in this Variation that gives the player practically unlimited meter. It was recently discovered that Kitana's Mournful Variation has an infinite combo should she ever lock her opponent down in the corner. While the possibility that these Variations are either the antithesis of another character's Variation in the game or vice versa, the fact they exist -at all- poses a significant problem. To include so many variables (a current total of 52 with another 15 on the way) is inviting some possibly gamebreaking stuff to slip in under the radar. And since the Variation System almost exponentially increases the number of different playstyles, you've got a maelstrom of empirical data on your hands that will need to be sorted out & properly catalogued. Have fun with that...
Finally, one needs to address the elephant in the room: Kung Jin. It's been discovered (and confirmed by the creative staff of the game) that Kung Jin is gay. While the creative use of subtlety that introduces this fact is genius, the ugly truth is that it created a backlash that, for one, diminishes the game itself and, secondly but thankfully, has not derailed the game's popularity. It is a given certainty that there are those out there who will disagree, boycott, vilify (etc, etc) this game based on that fact alone and, if I can be frank, I pity those people. They're going to allow to their shortsighted bigotry & prejudice rob them of an incredible experience. The same can be said of those who take issue with how the female characters are designed now. (Before you even think it: Yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds, but they're out there.) For any who allow a simple choice on the behalf of NetherRealm Studios keep them from appreciating this game, know that a very small piece of me will weep for you... the rest of me is going to be enjoying the hell out of it!
In summation, MKX represents a crossroads for the FGC that has honestly never existed before. Slowly & surely, more eyes are going to be turned in our direction and the time is steadily approaching where we'll need to rise to the occasion. Through the most roundabout series of circumstances possible, a responsibility has been placed upon us to put our best foot forward while stepping in this new direction. All I ask is that we look before we leap.
Until next time... keep fighting the good fight, my friends.

International Olympic Committee, fine words butter no parsnips
The Russian authorities, with its law against sexual diversity, want nobody talks about homosexuality. They hide behind the children's protection, but probably, what is behind this policy about "not known, not seen, not noticed" is the fear of homosexual desire. When someone thinks about the desire orientation, inevitably thinks on his own, so its normal do not want to hear anything about it.
However, this pathological strategy of bury head in the sand and cut the others, is having the opposite effect to what is intended, because Russia will be linked to homosexuality for decades, despite whoever disagrees.
Why not come Obama, Cameron and Hollande?, some may wonder in Russia, and the answer will be clear. Many personalities from different fields have come out against. Indeed, Ban Ki-moon, the Secretary-General of the UN, condemned yesterday in Sochi any discrimination against homosexuals, and called to "raise the voices against attacks on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex." The Russian Homophobia has turned Sochi 2014 in the most gay & lesbian Olimpic Games in history, where sexual diversity is going to be very present. Will Putin dare fining Ban Ki-moon?
Some think that certain events, like the Olympics, should be banned to countries that do not respect human rights, such as China and now Russia, however can be a good opportunity to stir consciences and, incidentally, make them feel a bit embarrassed. Today, the opening day of the Olympic Winter Games Sochi 2014, we presented our event logo.
The falsely apolitical International Olympic Committee (I say false because it is impossible and unbelievable) will not set it easy, and either Putin pressure. We hope gestures and declarations of the participants, but we should keep in mind that the last who did a protest in Olympics were punished by the authorities and society to the point than ravage their lifes.
Mexico 68 Olympic hypocrisy.
|Peter Norman, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, on the podium of 200m dash, in Mexico 68
At the Olympic Games in Mexico 68, inspired by the so-called Olympic Project for Human Rights, the three winners of the 200 meter dash, Tommie Smith, Peter Norman and John Carlos, on the podium, they claimed poverty and discrimination of the black population of the United States. The gesture were to raise his fist with a black glove, head down while the anthem sounded, wear in the feet only black socks, leave open tracksuit jacket, wear bead necklaces or, as in the case of Australian Peter Norman, wear the logo of the Olympic Project for Human Rights in support of the Aboriginal population of Australia. The consequences were devastating for all three. With libel, interestingly confusing with The Black Panthers, were expelled from the games, missed their jobs, friends, family and suffered the scorn in the mass media. Then, after the years received recognition, tributes and monuments, but the damage was already done. The wife of John Carlos, who bought the black gloves, ended up committing suicide, such was the cruelty they suffered for decades.
At the Nazis Olympics Games, German athletes showed the Nazi salute and this was not rejected by the Olympic Committee, so that the political dimension of this organization is evident. However, the IOC has banned any demonstration or gesture and has threatened to penalize such actions.
LGBTI+ Icons for Russian Olympics.
Moscas de Colores wants people talk, see, and notice sexual diversity. We want and we ask that gestures and details are visible. So we designed this illustration, for claiming sexual diversity, to vindicate and promote human rights in this type of events by celebrities, politicians and athletes and to remember those three athletes who put their lives at risk in Mexico 68. We want the athletes feel freedom and security to express themselves and show them your support.
We invite you to use this illustration on profiles of social networks, blogs, websites, etc. Get moving and spread the message. Pass it on.
Offensive, anti-Olympic and anti-American acts in Mexico 68:
|Olympic Project for Human Rights logo
Will we see any offensive, anti-humanity and anti-Olympic act in Sochi 2014? Is the Olympic spirit corrupted?

The Manufacturing Process for Getting Started in Mexico is Simple
NovaLink's manufacturing process has setting up your business in Mexico down to a precise science. Whether you are a large corporation or a small business trying to get off the ground, NovaLink has the process, software, facilities and manpower to get your business up and running quickly and efficiently with minimal cost.
Step-by-Step Process
The client and NovaLink conduct a preliminary cost analysis model for the client's product line. NovaLink's costing model incorporates everything required to operate in Mexico including the import and export of raw materials and other products.
NovaLink management and engineers visit the client's current facility to review operations. NovaLink's team develops a plan including but not limited to: permitting, layouts and engineering.
The client and NovaLink determine the necessary staffing, floor space, transportation needs and utility needs to fulfill client's needs. NovaLink finalizes its pricing quote and begins to prepare for the client's install.
NovaLink provides the client with a contract that outlines the length of term, minimum requirements, pricing, etc. Novalink strives to develop contracts that are partnership friendly.
The client presents samples and descriptions of each product to be manufactured by NovaLink. NovaLink verifies classification with both Mexican and U.S. Customs. NovaLink obtains all the required permits to cross materials and equipment into Mexico. NovaLink will also obtain any environmental permits necessary.
The client is responsible for transporting equipment and materials to Brownsville, Texas. NovaLink transports and installs the equipment into their Mexico facility.
NovaLink trains with client and staff. This includes training on reporting, manufacturing, inventory control, maintenance and quality control. NovaLink dedicates a team of trainers and engineers to work with the client to understand the time studies, efficiencies and related items. This team then trains the operators that will be responsible for day-to-day manufacturing. We welcome whatever level of involvement our client's desire in this process.
It is NovaLink's responsibility to maintain the program at the levels that were agreed to with the client. The main task of the client at this point is to make sure the production lines have a continuous flow of materials and schedule. Our clients typically schedule regular visits to review the operations with us throughout the year.
The distribution center receives daily raw materials shipments from suppliers. Receipt of finished goods is performed daily and coordination with the client on distribution instructions follows. Our operation is intended to provide a complete end-to-end experience for our clients.

Final Fantasy XV's May update includes a survey that asks for what DLC you want to see in the future. Along with some other minor features like bug fixes and snapshots added to Hammerhead, Square Enix added a survey to the main screen of the game's menu that allows players to vote on what they'd like to see in a future DLC. The survey screen tells players that "Items that receive many votes may be included in future updates."
Square Enix has added four kinds of updates on the list: story content, playable character, additional mode, and upgrade.
Story Content:
These are updates that would add more story to the game. It is all speculation as of now, because Square Enix only gives the title of the DLC without any added information. They're as follows:
- Ardyn's Past
- Lunafreya's Activities
- Cor's Activities
- The Line of Lucis
- Ifrit's Betrayal
- The World of Ruin
- Noctis' Disappearance
A lot of these would flesh out the background lore of Final Fantasy XV's world. For example, Ardyn's past, The Line of Lucis, and Ifrit's betrayal are things that we have seen mention of in the cosmology books scattered throughout the game but not in the actual game. Things like Lunafreya's Activities, Cor's Activities, The World of Ruin and Noctis' Disappearance deal more heavily with the present of the Final Fantasy XV story.
Playable Characters:
These are interesting to think about, as we don't know how these characters will be implemented. Will they follow the guys in the main game? Will they only be playable in a DLC? There isn't enough information given. These are as follows:
- Cor
- Aranea
- Iris
- Lunafreya
- Gentiana
Additional Mode:
There is only one thing listed under this category, which is hard difficulty. Many players, me included, wonder why this wasn't included in the launch version of the game.
These are enhancements to your abilities that will change the way the game is normally played, either by making it easier or changing an aspect of gameplay.
- Improved Amiger Abilities
- New Stat Changing Magic
You can only cast one vote for your favorite between all of the options so choose wisely! To access the survey, you must update the game, and select "Special" from the main menu. It will be up until the end of June 2017.

Free WiFi ITALIA: An analysis of the public internet in Italy
Currently, with the development of communications via the Internet, it becomes almost impossible to think of living without being connected to the world wide web. We are increasingly accustomed to the network that we cannot leave on the sidelines of our daily life anymore.
The Internet has triggered a new concept of urbanization. Many countries rely on the technologies of information and communication (ICT) to create harmony between people and cities.
Therefore, WiFi services have become one of the most demanded services for tourists and travelers.
Keeping this in mind, the Italian government, with the aim to re-establish its position in the tourism market by making use of innovation and technology, but without losing sight of the traveler as the axis of all its policies, has promoted the deployment of Free WiFi ITALIA, a network with 28,000 access points throughout the country.

It's a shame the erudite Foreign Secretary was addressing the Tory faithful in Manchester rather than MEPs in Strasbourg, who remain somewhat sceptical of his vision of global Britain. Boris at least manged the rare feat of having leading politicians at both events calling for his head. EPP leader Manfred Weber urged Theresa May to sack him so they could have clarity on who was in charge. "London is very creative at putting red lines on the table for pleasing their party supporters but they fail to have any solution for the voters and citizen". Weber continues to play the bad cop very effectively and the parliament's resolution was unequivocal in its stance that the EU 27 should not move the talks on to the future relationship. There was also a warning from Jean-Claude Juncker for those who think that the UK could "go over Michel Barnier's head" direct to national capitals and the display of EU unity remains impressive. While sympathy for Theresa May seems to be in short supply, there must surely be a realisation from the EU side that if she is to win the internal Tory battle over the future relationship, she is going to need a helping hand to out-manoeuvre Boris. Some flexibility may well be needed in next week's talks to avoid a damaging break-down and I wouldn't be surprised to see the EU27 fudging their October decision, concluding in true Brussels style that while "sufficient progress" had not been made, enough headway had been achieved to lead to an exploration of transition talks and a pre-scoping of the issues.
The Catalonia crisis has certainly taken the wind out of Juncker's sails, and after all the feel good from his State of the Union speech, recent events are proving to be a real headache for the EU. A hastily convened debate merely highlighted the tightrope group leaders are walking between placating their Spanish contingent of MEPs while being seen to be responding to the scenes of violence. Frans Timmermans argued that "just because you feel passionately about something doesn't mean you can just ignore the rule of law". To some dismay in the Chamber, he went on to say "it is a duty of any government to uphold the rule of law and this sometimes requires proportionate use of force". Others argued that the only real winners of all of this were the populists and extremists, an argument that was backed up by a list of speakers from the Eurosceptic ranks who claimed this showed the double standards being applied, a Union not of values but of "selective values".
Lobbyists are once again in the firing line. For once it's not accusations of over-lobbying but quite the opposite, shying away from giving evidence in hearings and committees of inquiry. Monsanto were the first company to fall foul of new rules to withdraw access badges in the event of a no-show, but the sights are already on Caterpillar, UBS and Credit Suisse for their refusal to give evidence to the Panama papers inquiry. The Greens, who have championed the rule change, have been accused of using the device to silence their critics.
While the May 2019 European elections may still seem far off, in that post-Brexit dystopia, it's not too distant to influence the legislative cycle. At a meeting with Frans Timmermans, committee chairmen warned that any legislative proposals in the 2018 work programme that arrived after the spring would have little chance of being adopted in time. Given the time it takes to get major legislative proposals through trilogues, that may be on the optimistic side.

Ok, so I have a Dell XPS 435T desktop system. It has a Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader in it that has been working fine over the year. I normally keep is disabled because there is a bug with my video editing software such that if the card reader is enabled my system will crash with a BSOD (blue screen of death) when I try to write to a DVD. Anyway, I recently used the card reader to import some photos from my memory card and everything was fine until today.
Today I put in my memory card and nothing happened. No drives showed up, nothing. So I disabled/enabled and nothing. I didn't know what was wrong as it had worked fine just a few days ago. So I started Googling for answers and found updated drives which I installed and all I kept getting was one of two things. If I let Microsoft take care of it it would install the drivers for "unknown USB device". If I forced it to install the Realtek drivers then it would say "device could not start". I did this multiple times with the same results. Still no card reader working.
So after about 2 – 3 hours of dealing with the crazy thing I found an obsecure post (located here) that said the issue was you need to disconnect the computer from the power. Even if you turn this computer off the motherboard still gets power noted by the green light on the back that stays lit. So I unplug the computer from the outlet, let the green light go out, and wait a couple of minutes. I then power up the machine, let it boot up, and viola, my Realtek USB 2.0 card reader was now working just as it always did.
I'm like…what the crap? I spent 2 – 3 hours on something that took 5 minutes to fix. This is just insane. Of course I've been using computers long enough to know that this is usually how it goes.
I wanted to share this in case someone else runs across the same issue. Just try unplugging the computer first and it may say you a lot of headaches and time later.
By the way. I'm running Windows Vista 64bit but I've read of people having the same issues with Windows 7. I still have yet to upgrade to Windows 7 but would like to one of these days.
Catch ya later!

5 Key Things to do before Applying for a Mortgage
Are you thinking about applying for a mortgage in the near future? If this is your first time buying a home or securing a loan, there are some things you should know before signing on the dotted line to obtain what's most likely the largest item on the left side of your personal balance sheet. Don't be tricked into thinking that getting qualified for a mortgage is as easy hitting one button and money appears (as portrayed in the Quicken Loans "Rocket Mortgage" commercials). Although most colleges and universities don't offer a "how to get a mortgage for dummies" course (although they probably should), adults are expected to know the nuances of mortgage approvals, which continues to evolve over time. Here are five things you should do to prepare yourself for applying for a mortgage.
Get Your Mortgage Documents Together!
When it comes to proving your ability to pay back a loan, more is more in terms of paperwork. The buyers listed on the loan should be prepared to present their lender with at least a month of recent pay stubs, two years of tax returns, three months of bank statements (checking and/or savings accounts), and any other financial documentation that may prove you will be able to make on-time monthly payments.
Raise Your Credit Score As Much As You Can
There is no magic formula to raise your credit score in a very short period of time, but making sure you're taking steps to keep your score high is crucial before applying for a mortgage. Most borrowers don't realize that your credit score not only affects your odds of approval, but also is directly correlated to the interest rate the lending institution is willing to offer you. The higher your credit score when applying for a mortgage, the greater your chances of a lower interest rate will be. If you have no idea what your credit score is, now would be the time to check it and make sure that the items listed on your credit report are accurate.
Pay Off Outstanding Debts
Some first-time borrowers may think that having a ton of reserve (liquid) cash may increase their chances of obtaining a loan. The fact is, lending institutions do not really care about your cash in the bank, but do care a whole lot about what you're paying for on a recurring basis with that cash. Most lenders like to see your debt-to-income ratio at or below 30%. Meaning, if you make $5,000 per month, but use $3,500 of it to pay off credit cards, auto loans, or student debt, you're most likely not going to get approved for an additional liability that requires a large monthly payment. Decrease your existing liabilities before trying to obtain a new one.
Make Sure Your Taxes Are Up To Date
As mentioned above, most lenders will want to see at least two consecutive years of tax filings from each borrower listed on the loan. The lender will double check the information you give them against what is on file with the IRS, so make sure that the documentation you include as part of your mortgage application matches what's on record with the IRS.
Know The Market You're Borrowing In
Mortgage laws in the U.S. are not universal, and can vary drastically depending on your state or region. A state that has experienced higher levels of bankruptcies and foreclosures may have stricter application requirements, and may even require a larger down payment just to secure an average-sized loan. Do research relative to your prospective new neighborhood so that you are not surprised (and possibly disappointed) by the requirements of your application.

Josh Munchel remembers the first time he ate Nashville hot chicken. In fact, four years ago, he and several other chefs from his hometown of Cincinnati made a road trip with the mission of visiting Prince's, the epicenter of the pungent regional favorite. He remembers not only how it tasted—he liked the crunch and zest—but especially how it felt.
"We tried all the levels of spice that they have," says Munchel. "And the hottest one shot tingles through you, those crazy nerve-ending feelings, like your arms and legs went to sleep on you."
You won't get the same sensation from Munchel's latest creation at the bar of the Counting House, the high-ceilinged restaurant he helms on the ground floor of Durham's 21c Museum Hotel. You won't get chicken, either. Instead, Munchel has applied the idea of Nashville's notoriously spicy bird (now so vogue it's on the menu at Kentucky Fried Chicken and the basis for a new Durham food truck) to tempeh, the meat substitute made from fermented soybeans.
Munchel first encountered tempeh while working at a sushi restaurant early in his career, but he imagined this dish only after the Durham Vegan Drinks crew reserved a table for an evening cocktail at the Counting House. Munchel sources his beans from TempehGirl, a Hillsborough-based upstart that skips popular tempeh-making shortcuts to up the flavor.
As you would do with chicken, Munchel brines the tempeh in a high-spice solution before dredging it through a batter of flour, cornstarch, soy milk, and a healthy dose of potent flavors, including paprika and cayenne. When each piece emerges from the fryer, he stirs it through a spiced fat bath, so that the tempeh's skin seems actually to bleed heat. This, Munchel confesses, is the real Nashville secret.
"That fat makes it pop," he says. "It adds that spicy coating to the fritter."
As the tempeh cools, Munchel ladles a very mild vegan ranch dressing—made from mixing pureed firm tofu with more soy milk and a light spice blend—on a rectangular piece of shiny slate. He plops five pieces of tempeh in a crooked line through the spread, curls thinly sliced pickles around and alongside them, and sprinkles greens across the top.
No, Munchel's tempeh skins won't make you cry, or even tingle. But at five dollars a plate, they may make you demand a second, sizzling round.

January 9, 2010 --Ill. Governor Quinn has cancelled an appearance at a fundraiser organized by a friend of convicted political insider Tony Rezko.The Chicago Sun-Times reports Sunday night's Wuinn fundraiser was scheduled for the Northbrook home of lawyer and lobbyist Anthony Abboud. He is tied to Tony Rezko, the former key advisor and main fundraiser for former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
Abboud, who worked for Quinn when Quinn was state treasurer, has not been charged with any crimes.
However, Rezko's indictment disclosed that after Blagojevich named Abboud to the Teachers Retirement System Board, Rezko told Abboud to take orders from another convicted insider, Stuart Levine.

Many of these positions include a very attractive benefits package such as free return airfare to your home country, the cost of accommodation included for you and your family and, in some cases, a tax-free salary. Most of the positions with high salaries are in the Middle East and Asia.
If you can handle living in a small, alcohol-free zone of the island of Borneo then Brunei might be the country for you. The salaries are great (often $3000 a month) but you'll need to be experienced and preferably possess a DELTA or MA TESOL. It is possible to save around $1000 per month if you are careful with your money. Unfortunately, Brunei is in the process of making Sharia Law the national law for all who live there – whether you are Muslim or not. This is very troubling news indeed. At this rate, they may need to increase the salaries still further in order to attract people to go there to teach.
Gulf States such as Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman and Kuwait have a similar cultural backdrop to contend with, and despite the high salaries you may find yourself feeling very isolated in your little well-furnished compound. However, if you can handle it, the salaries are tax free and you will make significant savings each month. If you are trying to pay off debt or save to buy a house then it may be worth considering looking at teaching positions here. It appears that Saudi Arabia still offers the very highest salaries, up to around $5000 US Dollars per month tax-free.
In contrast to the nations above, Hong Kong is a very liberal-minded place with a nice 'melting pot' of cultures and ethnicities. Living costs are high, but if you are accepted on the NET scheme then you can make around $5000 US Dollars a month which more than makes up for it. Bear in mind that you need to apply by January for an August start date and typically need at least two years of teaching experience. You should be able so save in excess of $1000 per month if you are on the NET scheme.
Similar to the NET scheme, Japan has the JET programme. Once again, you need to apply early for this, usually by December for a September start date. The salary can be as high as around $4200 US Dollars a month. Living costs are high in Japan but if you are on the JET Scheme you will certainly be able to save approximately $1000 per month.
South Korea remains a popular destination with TEFL teachers because of the decent salaries and insatiable local demand for English tuition from native speakers. Even if you don't have experience, you can earn over $2000 per month and save almost $1000 of this. The application procedure generally takes a long time so you are advised to begin applying from overseas about 5 months before you hope to begin teaching there.
Taiwan is another good option although you will face more competition for jobs and have a much better chance if you have significant experience. Once again you can earn about $2000 per month and save almost $700 of this if you are careful with your outgoings.
You can also earn up to $2000 a month in Vietnam, where living costs are low. Most teachers can save about $700 a month, depending on the number of hours worked. A lot of paperwork is required here, including health checks and criminal records checks. However, Vietnam is one of the best destination for first-time TEFL teachers because you do not need previous teaching experience.

Do you need a brand new website?
A Website by Monica is just the beginning of a long and mutually rewarding relationship.
Scroll down for more.
Complete website design
No limit on pages
Built on the WordPress platform
Premium theme included
Premium plug-ins included
Interactive sliders
Parallax effects
Fast loading time
Contact forms
Blog Set Up
Mail Chimp Set Up
Professional graphics
Automatic back-ups
Responsive design
Photo galleries
Basic PayPal Integration
Basic SEO Set Up
All websites start with a base price of 999.00.
How I Work:
I build all of my websites on the WordPress platform using a premium theme called Divi with a combination of premium (paid) and free plug-ins. Plug-ins are like apps on a phone and allow for extra functionality of a website. All of my sites are responsive, (they respond to any device and look good no matter what is used to view/use the site). I have 3 stages in my workflow and I also require that all clients host their websites with me.
First, I start by designing a mock up of the layout, look and color palette in Photoshop based on your answers to a small questionnaire. Once approved, I move on to stage two, the actual building of the website. This is done in a staging area so you can see my progress as it is being built. When that has the final approval, I move on to stage three, where I move the staging site to a secured hosting server, triple check all links, graphics, load time, etc. and launch the site live.
Maintenance plans:
I have done away with a monthly fee for this and simply charge by the hour when needed, or requested. I am continuously monitoring all of my client's sites, and if I see that work needs to be done, I send an email explaining the proposed work with an estimate of how long I believe it will take to do.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
SEO services are not included in the base price, however, basic SEO is. Each site and page are correctly tagged with proper keywords, meta descriptions, and other important elements. If you want to include an SEO strategy I have a whole section devoted to just that. (For more info, see my page on SEO.)
I can complete most sites within 4 weeks, one week for each stage, and one week for a cushion. This is dependent completely on the needed files, copy, graphics, and access to your registrar and PayPal accounts. Crazy as it sounds, I have had more that a few websites sit for more than 6 months because the client will not get back to me in a timely manner.
Yearly Hosting, Theme and Plug-in Costs: $228.00 per year
I require all of my customers to host their websites with me for many reasons, the most important one being security. I use a secure server with daily backups and top of the line support. This guarantees that your site is constantly monitored for any downtime, hacking, or other issues. Also included in this price are all of the premium plugins needed for your site an SSL certificate (if wanted) and up to 5 email accounts that match your domain!
Optional Additions
Floating Social Media Icons
This adds a set of social media icons with links that allow users to post about you on their social media pages! A great way of getting, even more, followers.
Revolution Slider
With enticing visual effects, the Revolution Slider adds amazing beauty to any site and has limitless possibilities.
Child Theme
Having a child theme protects your site from crashing or becoming unsightly when updates are made to the parent theme, yet still allows the updates to be implemented.
Subscription Pop Up
A handy little pop-up that encourages people to subscribe to his customer base.
Matching Print Materials
For a complete professional look, a logo, letterhead, business cards and more are easily created.
Facebook Fix
When someone shares your site on Facebook, an appropriately sized image will appear. (Without the fix it's usually blank or not corresponding.)
Safe File Upload
An upload form for clients to safely upload their images for printing services.

BC3 Journal Article "Carbon risk and optimal retrofitting in cement plants: An application of stochastic modelling, MonteCarlo simulation and Real Options Analysis"
The cement sector is highly intensive in CO2 emissions and is the second biggest industrial sector in terms of emissions after the electricity generation sector. It emits CO2 from the combustion of fossil fuels, the calcination process and, indirectly, from electricity consumption. The ambitious climate change policy in the EU means that carbon prices and fuel prices are two very important sources of uncertainty that may affect the competitiveness of the sector. This paper focuses on understanding the risk associated with the future price of European Union Emission Trading System allowances.

Whether you know your credit score number or not—and whether it's high or low—your credit report is will impact what kind of loan and mortgage rate you're able to get. The three major US credit-reporting agencies use a range from 300 to 850 as a credit score. A higher score can often help you qualify for better rates.
But it's not just about your credit score. When deciding whether to make a loan, we evaluate the 4 Cs:
Capacity to pay back the loan. We look at your income, employment, savings, and monthly debt payments, to make sure that you can take on a mortgage comfortably.
Capital. We consider your readily available money, savings, investments, properties, and other assets that you could sell quickly for cash. It's important to have reserves.
Collateral. We consider the value of the property and other possessions that you're pledging as security against the loan.
And credit. We check your credit score and history to assess your record of paying bills and other debts on time. Improving your credit score isn't an overnight fix. Start by paying any past due bills, paying all your upcoming bills on time, and keeping your credit card balances below 30 percent of the credit limit.
Under federal law, you are entitled to receive one free copy of your credit report from each credit-reporting company every 12 months. Take advantage of this. This is provided for general information only. We're not a credit counselor. For information specific to you, consult a licensed credit counselor or your financial advisor.
We have a loan program that meets your financial needs.
We know that only one thing really matters to you - being approved for your loan.
And that's why you will think we're number one.

Kim Cascone has a long history involving electronic music: he received his formal training in electronic music at the Berklee College of Music in the early 1970's, and in 1976 continued his studies with Dana McCurdy at the New School in New York City.
After moving to San Francisco in the 1980's, and gaining experience as an electronic technician in the audio industry, Cascone worked with David Lynch as Assistant Music Editor on both "Twin Peaks" and "Wild at Heart."
Cascone left the film industry in 1991 to concentrate on his company Silent Records, a label that he founded in 1986, transforming it into the U.S.'s premier ambient electronic music label.
At the height of Silent's success in early 1996, he sold the company in order to pursue a career as a sound designer for Thomas Dolby's company Headspace.

Prince Albert District Planning Commission
Planning and zoning is regulated within the municipality by the RM of Buckland Zoning Bylaw and Development Plan.
The Rural Municipality of Buckland is a member of the Prince Albert District Planning Commission. Other members include the Rural Municipality of Prince Albert and the City of Prince Albert. The Planning Commission was formed in 1956 to promote a regional approach to agriculture, commercial and residential development, and has been a model for others throughout the province. The Planning Commission is an advisory body and provides planning expertise to the member councils.
All new construction within the municipality requires both a Development Permit and Building Permit.
The Development Permit allows the Planning Officer to ensure that the new development meets all requirements for the zoning district in which the development will occur. Fees are as follow: Permitted Use – $100.00; Discretionary Use – $150.00. Every applicant for a building permit shall pay a fee of $50.00 plus $4.50 for every $1,000.00 estimated value of construction in excess of $10,000.00. The estimated value of the construction of the building will be calculated by the Building Inspector.
Farm buildings which include barns, sheds, granaries do not require a building permit. We do ask that a development permit be submitted for farm buildings in order to ensure that they meet the setback requirements of the Zoning Bylaws.
Farm dwellings DO require a building permit.
Please ensure that Development Permits and Building Permits are issued before any construction begins. For further information please contact the Planning Officer at 306-764-2751.
Subdivision forms and information can be downloaded from this link:
Development Permits and Building Permits can be picked up from the Municipal Office or directly from the Planning Officer.
The Prince Albert District Planning Commission recently underwent a complete review of the District Development Plan and the Zoning Bylaw. See the links below.
- Zoning Bylaw
- District Development Plan
- Bylaw 9_2017_District_OCP_2018
Did you know? A Building Permit is valid for a year from the date of issue. This means that construction must commence within the year (not be completed within a year) There is no cost for an extension which can be obtained by contacting the Planning Commission at 306-764-2751.

With social media permeating just about every aspect of our lives today, it is not surprising that social tools have a variety of applications in onboarding programs as well.
HR professionals may make easy targets, but in reality they're just like the rest of us: overworked, undercompensated, and doing the best they can with the resources at their disposal.
Human resources (HR) personnel frequently use tools called scorecards to measure the impacts that their programs and services have on overall business.
Much has been written over the past 50+ years regarding the growth of women in the workplace and the associated cultural shift that has driven a fundamental change in the way gender roles are viewed both in the office and at home.

According to a 2014 Elance-oDesk, Inc. and Millennial Branding study ("The 2015 Millennial Majority Workforce") as well as US Bureau of Labor Statistics' predictions, millennials will represent the majority of the workforce by 2015 and make up 75% of personnel by 2030.

If you are employed and looking to advance, performance reviews are a great opportunity for you to negotiate salary, bonuses, benefits, stock options, and other incentives that add to your satisfaction as an employee and provide financial security.

LinkedIn has become a necessary, if not required, tool for job seekers who want to maximize their visibility and options in this current employment market.

Hello, this is the mommy-to-be's first post. Kurt has so wonderfully started this blog to keep everyone updated. It also serves as a diary for us and for Lily to read someday.
It's kind of interesting that we have chosen China because my original college major was going to be East Asian Studies. I took several classes that were related to Chinese and Japanese history, and I took two years of Japanese. As many of you know, my major ended up being Spanish, but I have always had interest in East Asia.
Many people have asked us, "Why did you choose China?" Choosing to adopt domestically or internationally wasn't a hard decision for us. We were told that Bethany Christian Services, our adoption agency, place their babies born in the U.S. in the homes of Christian parents. When we found this out, our hearts turned to other countries around the world. We know that in many countries, children are at least exposed to the saving message of Jesus be it in their orphanages or later when they grow up. China tugged at our hearts because Christianity isn't allowed to flourish and much of it is underground. By deciding to adopt from China, we hoped to share the Good News with a child who wasn't as likely to hear about Jesus in her birth country, especially in a state-run orphanage. As many of you know, due to traditional values and government policies, Chinese orphanages are overflowing with little girls. The tide is turning relating to the value of women in Chinese society, but there are still a lot of little girls who are placed in orphanages. We also hoped to give a child a home in a free, democratic country where she would have freedoms not found in China.
We are all God's children, no matter where we are born. There are so many children around the world that need forever families to love them. We thank God that He has given us this opportunity to begin a family this way and to receive a beautiful daughter to love.
P.S. China only requires one parent to travel, and of course that helped with our decision since I don't fly well at all. :)

(Crossposted from the KC Freecycle Yahoo Group page.)
Howdy folks –
Sorry to deluge y'all with yet another ADMIN message, but I wanted to remind everyone to check your cat and dog food before freecycling it. As you probably know, Menu Foods, "the leading North American manufacturer of private-label wet pet food products", is in the midst of a major contamination scandal, with 16 confirmed deaths so far (and more to follow, no doubt).
According to the recall info page on their web site,
"The recall is limited to "cuts and gravy" style pet food in cans and foil pouches produced on specific dates and times between December 3, 2006, and March 6, 2007 in two of Menu's plants. The recall affects 42 brands of cat food and 53 brands of dog food. In order to determine whether cat and dog food that your pet consumed is subject to recall, you should refer to the list of brand names on this website."
"If you are in possession of a variety or multi-pack, please be sure to check the individual can or pouch rather than relying solely on the date coding on the side of the carton."
If you think that your cat or dog may have consumed contaminated foods, Menu Foods offers the following advice:
"If your pet is exhibiting any signs of kidney failure please contact your veterinarian as soon as possible. Symptoms include loss of appetite, vomiting, weakness, disorientation and changes in water consumption and urination. If you suspect that you have fed the recalled pet food to your cat or dog, save any remaining pet food and the can or pouch. Open cans or pouches may be double-bagged in sealable plastic and kept in the freezer. "
You can view a comprehensive list of the recalled products here:
Cat food: http://www.menufoods.com/recall/product_cat.html
Dog food: http://www.menufoods.com/recall/product_dog.html
While we do ask that all members check for recall/safety issues on ALL items before offering them up on Freecycle (this includes not just foodstuffs, but other items as well, such as car seats and cribs, for example), we do realize that mistakes happen – which is why members on the receiving end of a freecycled item should check for safety and recall info, too. And two sets of eyes are certainly better than one!
If you have any questions/comments on the Menu Foods recall, feel free to email me off-list at kelly [at] kcfreecycle [dot] org – or take your discussion over to the KC Chat Cafe.
Now back to your regularly scheduled freecycling!
Kelly G.
