How can PR pros applying for new jobs convey their various abilities?
In writing a résumé, many people include a "skills" section. Here, they
cram together "hard" skills, such as programming languages or software
expertise, and "soft" skills, such as "conflict resolution" or
This is a waste of space. Instead of ticking off vague notions like "Excel"
or "Photoshop," tell your audience how you used these programs.
Get specific.

For example: "Created sophisticated pivot tables in Excel to track
inventory in real time." This fleshed-out bullet point clarifies that
you're not "skilled" with spreadsheets the way I'm "skilled" with cooking
(reheating pizza is my specialty).
Similarly, instead of Photoshop," try something like this: "Designed
images and ads, in Photoshop, for clients' Facebook and Twitter accounts."
When I teach résumé writing, my aversion to a "skills" section is the guideline that triggers the
stiffest pushback. For various reasons, people cling to this utterly
useless info.
Here are their five most common arguments, along with rejoinders you may
not have considered:
"I don't have enough experience with these skills to turn them into
fully fledged bullet points."
Then they don't warrant inclusion on your résumé. If something is truly
important enough, then it should be easy to give it substance.
For example: If you draw beautifully, why wouldn't you want to emphasize
this talent, rather than dumping it amid a half-dozen other competencies at
which you may not be as capable? Citing something at which you're an expert
alongside something for which you're a beginner dramatically diminishes the
"I've used these skills for personal projects rather than professional
Personal projects are perfectly acceptable on a résumé — especially if you
can relate them to the present opportunity. For this reason, some résumé
writers create a section called "Personal Projects," "Freelance Work," or
"Extracurricular Expertise." (For a skill that's less developed or less
relevant, feel free to cite it in your cover letter.)
"Putting down a half-dozen skills is more impressive than pinpointing
Not necessarily. For one, some employers want specialists, not generalists.
While it's admirable that you have fundraised, it may not be immediately
apparent how this experience applies to the job at hand.
What's more, when it comes to résumés, less can be more. The more content
you have, the harder it is to know where you excel.
To be sure, the urge to list your qualifications willy nilly is powerful.
It's hard to cut from a document as personal as your résumé. Yet as any
editor can confirm, sometimes you need to select rather than just compress.
"People don't read résumés. They scan them, and a list is more
scannable than bullet points."
True. However, a list that contains a mere word or two per line is terribly
imprecise and open-ended. "I see you have the skill of 'Microsoft
Office'—you're hired!" said no recruiter ever.
"Big companies use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to scan résumés for
certain keywords. If I don't have, say, three mentions of 'news
releases,' then my application will be DOA. A 'skills' section helps to
appease the algorithms."
This is an unfortunate reality of our time. Sometimes you need to do a
little keyword stuffing to get past a machine. At the same time, if you
have the experience, you should explain and emphasize it, not merely
mention it.
Résumés provoke strong opinions. While the rules of the road are generally
agreed upon, the specifics often vary. (Ask 10 recruiters if they care that
you had a stellar GPA in college, and you'll get 10 different answers).
But here's the thing: An entire section of your résumé isn't small
potatoes. Nothing on your résumé is, and in our era of fidget-spinning,
Instagram-scrolling distraction, where the human attention span has shrunk
to that of a goldfish, anything that doesn't advance the perception that
you're the perfect person for the position isn't helping you.
It just shows you can't prioritize.

text: Hello all, I'm attempting to resolve some issues with ACL permissions for sidebar stuff and I'm stumped. aclquickcheck($id) I assume should return the base permissions for $id... 1. Set the page $id as non-readable by ALL, and you get AUTH_READ returned. However, try to load the page regularly in DokuWiki and you get the "denied" notice. 2. Further, if memory serves right, if you set the wildcard permission as non-readable, you get AUTH_NONE. There is one caveat though, the function returns sensible values if the $id has create or edit; it returns the proper permission level. So it appears as if you inherit the default permission for all pages, rather than the specific permission for the page, if the page is not editable or create-able. aclquickcheck calls auth_aclcheck directly so this problem exists here too. I then found act_permcheck; try act_permcheck('show') and this returns 'denied' like you would expect in this situation, as long as the current displayed page is the same as the global page $ID. But this is doesn't really solve the problem as you can only check the current page. It appears then this would be more accurate than aclquickcheck if you had the ability to pass a custom id to act_permcheck; however so far I am unable to create a similar function to do this... even temporarily reassigning globals to trick the function doesn't appear to be working, and I'm stumped. I'm wondering if I'm using the right functions or if this is simply a bug? -- --Terence J. Grant -- DokuWiki mailing list - more info at http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:mailinglist

Really Bad Headline
This newspaper report has a headline that displays exceptional ignorance. When reporting the result of a non-inferiority trial, "better" is a word that can NEVER be used. Depending on the trial and the result, it might be possible to say "no worse than." A more technical term would be "non-inferior."

Please forward this error screen to 198. This article is about the number and digit 0. There are different words used for the number or bitcoin meaning in urdu of zero depending on the context. By 1770 BC, the Egyptians had a symbol for zero in accounting texts.
The symbol nfr, meaning beautiful, was also used to indicate the base level in drawings of tombs and pyramids and distances were measured relative to the base line as being above or below this line. Bêl-bân-aplu wrote his zeros with three hooks, rather than two slanted wedges. The Babylonian placeholder was not a true zero because it was not used alone. Nor was it used at the end of a number. Only context could differentiate them. Zero is represented by the absence of a knot in the appropriate position. They seemed unsure about the status of zero as a number.
Five illustrated boxes from left to right contain a T-shape, an empty box, three vertical bars, three lower horizontal bars with an inverted wide T-shape above, and another empty box. An empty space is used to represent zero. The word is now used as a synonym for the number zero. Zero was not treated as a number at that time, but as a "vacant position". Chinese mathematical text using a round symbol for zero.
15th century when they became well-established in Europe. 224-383 AD, 680-779 AD, and 885-993 AD, making it the world's oldest recorded use of the zero symbol. This work considers not only zero, but negative numbers, and the algebraic rules for the elementary operations of arithmetic with such numbers. The earliest known material use of zero as a decimal figure.
6th century, but their date or authenticity may be open to doubt. Greek, Roman, Indian, and others. 825, he published a book synthesizing Greek and Hindu knowledge and also contained his own contribution to mathematics including an explanation of the use of zero. This title means "al-Khwarizmi on the Numerals of the Indians".
The word "Algoritmi" was the translator's Latinization of Al-Khwarizmi's name, and the word "Algorithm" or "Algorism" started meaning any arithmetic based on decimals. 976, stated that if no number appears in the place of tens in a calculation, a little circle should be used "to keep the rows". For this reason, the numerals came to be known in Europe as "Arabic numerals". I pursued my study in depth and learned the give-and-take of disputation. Therefore, embracing more stringently that method of the Hindus, and taking stricter pains in its study, while adding certain things from my own understanding and inserting also certain things from the niceties of Euclid's geometric art. I have striven to compose this book in its entirety as understandably as I could, dividing it into fifteen chapters.
Almost everything which I have introduced I have displayed with exact proof, in order that those further seeking this knowledge, with its pre-eminent method, might be instructed, and further, in order that the Latin people might not be discovered to be without it, as they have been up to now. If I have perchance omitted anything more or less proper or necessary, I beg indulgence, since there is no one who is blameless and utterly provident in all things.

Return to Ramble House Page
Return to Other Loons Page
MONTE IRVIN, alderman of the city and prospective Lord Mayor of London, paced restlessly from end to end of the well-appointed li-brary of his house in Prince's Gate. Between his teeth he gripped the stump of a burnt-out cigar. A tiny spaniel lay beside the fire, his beady black eyes following the nervous movements of the master of the house.
At the age of forty-five Monte Irvin was not ill-looking, and, indeed, was sometimes spoken of as handsome. His figure was full without being corpulent; his well-groomed black hair and moustache and fresh if rather coarse complexion, together with the dignity of his upright carriage, lent him something of a military air. This he as-siduously cultivated as befitting an ex-Territorial officer, although as he had seen no active service he modestly refrained from using any title of rank.
Some quality in his brilliant smile, an oriental expressiveness of the dark eyes beneath their drooping lids, hinted a Semitic strain; but it was otherwise not marked in his appearance, which was free from vulgarity, whilst essentially that of a successful man of affairs.
In fact, Monte Irvin had made a success of every affair in life with the lamentable exception of his marriage. Of late his forehead had grown lined, and those business friends who had known him for a man of abstemious habits had observed in the City chophouse at which he lunched almost daily that whereas formerly he had been a noted trencherman, he now ate little but drank much.
Suddenly the spaniel leapt up with that feverish, spider-like activity of the toy species and began to bark.
Monte Irvin paused in his restless patrol and listened.
"Lie down!" he said. "Be quiet."
The spaniel ran to the door, sniffing eagerly. A muffled sound of voices became audible, and Irvin, following a moment of hesitation, crossed and opened the door. The dog ran out, yapping in his irri-tating staccato fashion, and an expression of hope faded from Irvin's face as he saw a tall fair girl standing in the hallway talking to Hinkes, the butler. She wore soiled Burberry, high-legged tan boots, and a peaked cap of distinctly military appearance. Irvin would have retired again, but the girl glanced up and saw him where he stood by the library door. He summoned up a smile and advanced.
"Good evening, Miss Halley," he said, striving to speak genially—for of all of his wife's friends he liked Margaret Halley the best. "Were you expecting to find Rita at home?"
The girl's expression was vaguely troubled. She had the clear complexion and bright eyes of perfect health, but to-night her eyes seemed over-bright, whilst her face was slightly pale.
"Yes," she replied; "that is, I hoped she might be at home."
"I am afraid I cannot tell you when she is likely to return. But please come in, and I will make inquiries."
"Oh, no, I would rather you did not trouble and I won't stay, thank you nevertheless. I expect she will ring me up when she comes in."
"Is there any message I can give her?"
"Well"—she hesitated for an instant—"you might tell her, if you would, that I only returned home at eight o'clock, so that I could not come around any earlier." She glanced rapidly at Irvin, biting her lip. "I wish I could have seen her," she added in a low voice.
"She wishes to see you particularly?"
"Yes. She left a note this afternoon." Again she glanced at him in a troubled way. "Well, I suppose it cannot be helped," she added and smilingly extended her hand. "Good night, Mr. Irvin. Don't bother to come to the door."
But Irvin passed Hinkes and walked out under the porch with Margaret Halley. Humid yellow mist floated past the street lamps, and seemed to have gathered in a moving reef around the little runabout car which was standing outside the house, its motor chattering tremulously.
"Phew! a beastly night!" he said. "foggy and wet."
"It's a brute isn't it?" said the girl laughingly, and turned on the steps so that the light shining out of the hallway gleamed on her white teeth and upraised eyes. She was pulling on big, ugly, furred gloves, and Monte Irvin mentally contrasted her fresh, athletic type of beauty with the delicate, exotic charm of his wife.
She opened the door of the little car, got in and drove off, waving one hugely gloved hand to Irvin as he stood in the porch looking after her. When the red tail-light had vanished in the mist he returned to the house and re-entered the library. If only all his wife's friends were like Margaret Halley, he mused, he might have been spared the insupportable misgivings which were goading him to madness. His mind filled with poisonous suspicions, he resumed his pacing of the library, awaiting and dreading that which should confirm his blackest theories. He was unaware of the fact that throughout the interview he had held the stump of cigar between his teeth. He held it there yet, pacing, pacing up and down the long room.
Then came the expected summons. The telephone bell rang. Monte Irvin clenched his hands and inhaled deeply. His color changed in a manner that would have aroused a physician's interest. Regaining his self-possession by a visible effort, he crossed to a small side-table upon which the instrument rested. Rolling the cigar stump into the left corner of his mouth, he took up the receiver.
"Hallo!" he said.
"Someone named Brisley, sir, wishes—"
"Put him through to me here."
"Very good, sir."
A short interval, then:
"Yes?" said Monte Irvin.
"My name is Brisley. I have a message for Mr. Monte Irvin."
"Monte Irvin speaking. Anything to report, Brisley?"
Irvin's deep, rich voice was not entirely under control.
"Yes, sir. The lady drove by taxicab from Prince's Gate to Albemarle Street."
"Went up to chambers of Sir Lucien Pyne and was admitted."
"Twenty minutes later came out. Lady was with Sir Lucien. Both walked around to old Bond Street. The Honorable Quentin Gray—"
"Ah!" breathed Irvin.
"—Overtook them there. He got out of a cab. He joined them. All three up to apartments of a professional crystal-gazer styling himself Kazmah 'the dream-reader.' "
A puzzled expression began to steal over the face of Monte Irvin. At the sound of the telephone bell he had paled somewhat. Now he began to recover his habitual florid coloring.
"Go on," he directed, for the speaker had paused.
"Seven to ten minutes later," resumed the nasal voice, "Mr. Gray came down. He hailed a passing cab, but man refused to stop. Mr. Gray seemed to be very irritable."
The fact that the invisible speaker was reading from a notebook he betrayed by his monotonous intonation and abbreviated sentences, which resembled those of a constable giving evidence in a police court.
"He walked off rapidly in direction of Piccadilly. Colleague followed. Near the Ritz he obtained a cab. He returned in same to old Bond Street. He ran upstairs and was gone from four-and-a-half to five minutes. He then came down again. He was very pale and agitated. He discharged cab and walked away. Colleague followed. He saw Mr. Gray enter Prince's Restaurant. In the hall Mr. Gray met a gent unknown by sight to colleague. Following some conversation both gents went in to dinner. They are there now. Speaking from Dover Street Tube."
"Yes, yes. But the lady?"
"A native, possibly Egyptian, apparently servant of Kazmah, came out a few minutes after Mr. Gray had gone for cab, and went away. Sir Lucien Pyne and lady are still in Kazmah's rooms."
"What!" cried Irvin, pulling out his watch and glancing at the disk. "But it's after eight o'clock!"
"Yes, sir. The place is all shut up, and other offices in block closed at six. Door of Kazmah's is locked. I knocked and got no reply."
"Damn it! You're talking nonsense! There must be another exit."
"No, sir. Colleague has just relieved me. Left two gents over their wine at Prince's."
Monte Irvin's color began to fade slowly.
"Then it's Pyne!" he whispered. The hand which held the receiver shook. "Brisley—meet me at the Piccadilly end of Bond Street. I am coming now."
He put down the telephone, crossed to the wall and pressed a button. The cigar stump held firmly between his teeth, he stood on the rug before the hearth, facing the door. Presently it opened and Hinkes came in.
"The car is ready, Hinkes?"
"Yes, sir, as you ordered. Shall Pattison come round to the door?"
"At once."
"Very good, sir."
He withdrew, closing the door quietly, and Monte Irvin stood staring across the library at the full-length portrait in oils of his wife in the pierrot dress which she had worn in the third act of The Maid of the Masque.
The clock in the hall struck half-past eight.

Yom Kippur
A free verse
My heavy heart cries out to
a Universe that pulses in time,
echoes ringing through a blank cosmos,
the muffled voices of a million souls beseeching:
"Inscribe us in the Book of Life,
let not our flesh yet become soil;
assure us hope and peace and prosperity,
show mercy to our brokenness."
In the distance, a muffled shofar sounds
its baritone notes ringing in my thumping ears.
We walk through gates of forgiveness,
one foot in front of the other,
a sea of bodies spread as far as the eye can see.
I pause among the crowd. Turning back,
I stare into the swollen eyes of my transgressor.
I give a smile. "I forgive you," I whisper,
and walk on among the distended crowd.

Windows 7 Boot Times Could Be Inferior To Vista's
- 3 Comment
While Windows 7 is widely expected to be slimmer and more functional than Windows Vista, Iolo Technologies claims the new OS takes longer to boot than its predecessor.
The company sells PC tune-up software and said that its lab unit was disappointed with the new operating system's performance. Windows 7 took 1 minute 34 seconds to become usable on a new machine as compared to a minute 6 seconds with Vista. The difference could be a deal breaker in netbooks, where boot times can severly hinder or augment the user experience.
Iolo's main criterion was that the OS be fully usable to be considered booted, "with CPU cycles no longer significantly high and a true idle state achieved".
CNet News has corroborated those results, leading to a murmur of worry among those anticipating the new OS. Microsoft has not yet commented on the findings, but if the past is any clue, it should come forward in self-defense soon.

Key to any successful organisation is the ability to adapt and change. One of the more prominent ways companies have been doing this as of late is by adopting work flexibility – where business happens outside of traditional arrangements. My last post revealed the benefits of this approach, and today's blog will offer advice on how several companies formalised flexible work arrangements to drive bottom-line for their business and people.
Embrace flexible work from the start
If you're starting a company, incorporate flexibility from day one. For example, my company, FlexJobs, has been completely virtual since our founding in 2007. We also operate with mostly flexible schedules, where people generally can set their own work hours each day. The same is true for our sister organisations, 1 Million for Work Flexibility and Remote.co.
And at Remote.co, we've had the chance to interview over 60 companies operating at least 50 per cent virtually to find out how they've harnessed the benefits of this re-imagined way of working.
Transition to flexible work as you grow
Companies that start remote or flexible are just one story. But perhaps the more interesting story is about companies that start out in a traditional model, and then change to become more flexible. Summit CPA Group, a company where 75 per cent of its workers now telecommute, started working remotely after its executives began working from home two days each week and saw the benefits for themselves.
Codebusters, Inc. a health information management staffing company, originally started with an office in downtown Santa Cruz, California, but tried working remotely. "We decided to go remote because there was a decision to move the office, and because we saw that our industry was heading in this direction and we wanted to be more than ready for it," said Senior Recruiter and Account Manager Tiffany Emigh.
Tie flexible work to business objectives
One of the key steps that companies miss in adopting flexible work policies is tying them to their overarching business goals and to the bottom line. Large companies like Dell, Aetna, and Xerox have spoken about how their telecommuting policies help them meet environmental and sustainability goals like reduced greenhouse gas emissions and gas usage.
Wellbeing: What factors affect behaviour change?
Fire Engine Red credits remote work with their goal to hire the best people. "We realised that by allowing people to work virtually, we could attract and hire top talent no matter where they lived," said Chuck Vadan, communications director.
Of all the companies we've talked to about remote and flexible work options, one common piece of advice is this: The policy you create should be tailored to your company, and make sense for its needs. That's the beauty of flexible work options – they're flexible. There are many shades of grey when it comes to remote work, flexible and alternative schedules, part-time options, and freelancing. When imagining what its workforce could look like, each company should design a work flexibility programme that fits their business objectives, alleviates workforce issues, and supports the bottom line.

SOMETHING IS very wrong when the commission charged with protecting Baltimore County's historic structures instead gives developers the go-ahead to bulldoze them.
This happened recently when the county's Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) voted 5-3 not to accord landmark status to the Elizabeth Gardner House, an 1870s Queen Anne-style house on the southwest corner of York and Shawan roads. The owner plans to demolish one of the last vestiges of the area's history to build a BB&T Bank branch.
This LPC action is part of a pattern highlighting the problems that result from the appointment of commissioners who have little or no knowledge, experience or expertise in historic preservation.

BOYLSTON — Town meeting voters paved the way for a new road connecting Route 140 and School/Cross streets, but rejected a zoning change that would have laid the groundwork for a Senior Residential Development at the town's former gravel pit.
Town Clerk Lisa Johnson said 237 residents turned out to cast their votes at the special town meeting on Monday, Nov. 6, held in the Tahanto Regional High School auditorium.
Article 6, which asked the town to authorize selectmen to acquire three parcels needed for the new road by gift or purchase, was moved. The reading of the motion omitted the words "by eminent domain," a phrase that sparked some concern from residents before the meeting.
Selectman Michael May explained the road is needed to alleviate traffic congestion and improve safety. He also noted that FedEx and another developer, as part of their projects, will pay the bulk of the cost for signage and traffic signals at the two ends of the road. That will save the town several hundred thousand dollars.
Resident Sheri Fuller, who, along with her husband, Robert Fuller, owns one of the parcels along the way, expressed frustration with the way the town had handled the proposed acquisition of their land.
"We were willing to negotiate (a sale) a year ago. We found out about this article when we received the warrant," she said.
"I talked to your husband a number of times, in very general terms," Selectman James Underwood said. Because the town had not given selectmen permission to negotiate a sale, he explained, no monetary amounts could have been discussed.
Part of the article asked voters to approve up to $150,000 for purchase of the parcels and for initial engineering work for the road.
After much discussion, including safety hazards at the current "H" intersection on the east end of the proposed road, residents voted and approved the article by a two-thirds vote, as required.
Voters then returned to Article 5, which had been deferred until after Article 6. That article sought to give selectmen permission to sell an irregular triangular parcel at the H intersection. Town officials decided the land was of no use to the town and wanted the ability to sell it for development and get it back on the tax rolls.
Several residents of that neighborhood were opposed to selling the parcel. They said, undeveloped, the land provided a good buffer between commercial and residential areas. Others felt the parcel might be more valuable after the road was completed and more development was under way on Route 140.
The article was defeated, 111-92.
Several articles dealt with zoning changes to a parcel with a proposed Senior Residential Development, or SRD.
Planning Board Chairman Richard Baker introduced the article and explained its origins.
"The town voted a year ago (2016), to approve creating a Senior Residential Development district," Baker said. "Ten acres was deemed an appropriate parcel size for that use."
When the Planning Board was looking at possible parcels, members identified six that fit the criteria, he said. The town gravel pit was one of those. The assessors' map listed the parcel as more than 11 acres, exceeding the 10 acre minimum that had been established.
The parcel was put out for request for proposals (RFPs), and a buyer came back back with a good price and an SRD development plan, according to selectmen. However, the parcel was surveyed and found to be only 8.7 acres, making it unable to be developed as an SRD.
Thus, the town was being asked to change the minimum acreage for an SRD to 8.5.
Many of the voters expressed frustration, saying that reducing the acreage would make it too crowded, put neighbors on top of each other, etc.
"I know that there is an abutter willing to sell that would bring it (the parcel) to 10 acres," resident Bonnie Johnson said. She wanted to know why the town would have to change the zoning in that case.
Resident Jerry Quam questioned changing zoning for the benefit of a single project, noting "the next three articles (11, 12 and 13) intend to modify the zoning."
Town Moderator Dennis Pojani turned the discussion back to the article at hand, shutting down Quam, who had begun making statements about "one person running the Planning Board."
A two-thirds majority was required to pass. Article 11 failed 109-73.
Articles 12 and 13, which also pertained to the SRD zoning modifications, were passed over after the failure of Article 11.
Also generating a great deal of discussion were articles 8 and 9. The first dealt with adding multifamily dwellings as a use by special permit of the Planning Board to the MUI zoning district.
Allowing multifamily dwellings would allow apartments to be built in the MUI district.
Scott Goddard, representing Bethlehem Bible Church, which owns a 57-acre parcel along Route 140, explained that 10 acres of the property would, if rezoned to be part of MUI, be developed into apartments.
Selectman Michael May said the apartment proposal was an alternative to the Chapter 40B housing first proposed for the entire 57-acre parcel.
"We can either have this and the town has control through our bylaws over what is built, or we get 40B, and it's all under control of the state," May said.
Several residents voiced the opinion that the proposal put them between a "rock and a hard place."
Article 8 was approved.
Article 9, which asked for the approximately 10 acres at 85 Sewall St. to be rezoned as MUI, also passed.
In other articles, voters approved a land swap with the Red Knights International Firefighters Motorcycle Club Inc. They also approved $30,000 to install a fire detection system in the Fire Department building and improve the fire detection system in the Police Department building, as well as $3,600 to replace the Police Department's portable radio batteries and microphones. The town also received approval to spend $4,400 to purchase two sets of structural firefighting turnout gear.
Article 7, involving alcoholic beverage licenses, was passed over, as was Article 10, which sought to clarify several zoning definitions.

How She Does It - Nicole from w8lossjourn3y
Posted on August 14 2018
In our 'How She Does It' series we interview women about how they incorporate active and healthy habits into their lives. We believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health and fitness, so we aim to capture the variety of ways women choose to be active to give you ideas and inspiration on how to live your best active life.
Tell us about yourself
I'm Nicole, 25 years old, an Account Executive at commercialrealestate.com.au (part of Domain.com.au) and I live in Sydney, Australia. I live my with my Boyfriend and our fur baby, Irish Terrier, Alfred (Just like Batmans Butler). In case you didn't pick that up I'm a big fan of superheroes, in particular Batman, I LOVE movies and tv shows A LOT (I'm very proud of my VIP Cinebuzz status), dancing around the house like I'm a Ginger Beyoncé, hanging out with friends and family and just being a positive person.
What does active living mean to you?
If you're bored, do something. Go see what's happening at the shops, or the beach, or do something different, whatever is going to make you happy and feel like you've had a day well spent.
What do you like to do to stay active?
Walking. Don't get me wrong, I love the gym and training but lately, just catching up with friends and going for a walk or taking my nephew up the road (as slow as he can waddle for a 1 year old) for a coffee has been my thing these days, especially as I can't play sports anymore due to having the knees of an 80 year old.
What is your definition of healthy?
If I'm being honest, it's all about mentality for me. Some of my favourite people I look up to for my own health and fitness are just positive people living their best lives. Mental health is so damn important. What good is being able to do 50 push ups if you go to bed sad every night?
Have you always been active and healthy?
Look I wouldn't say "always", but I go through phases. I'm trying to be more conscious of "always" being healthy, in the past rewarding myself with a month of drinking and partying or a holiday of over eating hasn't done me any good.
What is your daily or weekly routine if you have one?
I'm currently working with my coach @valkyriestrength_pres, so my daily routine is pretty structured as per her plan: 4.30am wake up, gym, eat, work, eat some more, gym again at 5pm, dinner, supper, bed at 8pm – In a super quick nutshell.
What daily habits keep you fit and healthy?
My @W8lossjourn3y Instagram account is the big one. I check in daily with a post to keep myself on track, it started out as purely a food diary and has evolved into a daily update on where I'm at, what my thoughts are and how I'm tracking. I'm coming up to day 600 and have built an amazing support network in the Instagram fitfam community that I'm accountable to.
What is your best active living hack?
Get 8 hours sleep every night, if you can. I reckon 9 times out of 10 we can go to bed earlier, we just prioritise other things over it and that's always affected my attitude the next day towards food, training and the day in general.
Favourite healthy meal?
I can't get enough of greek yoghurt, frozen berries and sugar free maple syrup! Get to Coles or Woolies and buy yourself some, it sits with normal maple syrup and is made by 'Queen', you won't regret it.
What health craze are you guilty of loving?
Does buying way too much activewear with Afterpay count? Guilty!
What challenges do you need to overcome in order to achieve healthy and active living?
My undying love for food. I love going out for meals and I love treating myself to burgers and chips, chocolate, ice cream and anything that's pretty much not supposed to be consumed in large quantities. It's a problem, I know.
What is the best 'side-effect' of staying healthy and active?
When I've been training and eating well and making healthy choices my mental health is amazing and I just feel good. I think genuine long-lasting happiness is so undervalued and often forgotten about, we settle for small happy moments throughout the day.
What (or who) inspires or motivates you?
My coach, my boyfriend and my Instagram Fitfam
How do you practice self care?
By being slightly selfish and doing things that are going to sit right with me and make me happy. When you start to put yourself first and prioritise the things you need in your life you actually set yourself up in a better way to help others and influence those around you to also live a positive and happy life. If you don't love yourself how can you expect someone else to?
How do you manage days or periods where you are not as motivated?
Often if I'm having a bad day what I need to do is have a shower, eat some dinner and go to bed early. Usually i'm just tired and moody and as mum would say to me "you know how you get when you're tired" and she's always right (love you mum).
What do you do to treat yourself?
Go to the movies and grab a gigantic coke zero and maybe a bag of m&m's– that's me done.
Top 3 songs on your workout playlist?
I'm proud to say at the moment it's
"Cool Rider" from Grease 2,
"The way you make me feel" by Michael Jackson
and "Somebody to Love" by Justin Bieber
I'm going through a weird throwback/musical soundtrack phase and I blame Netflix.
What are your top 3 Instagram accounts that you follow?
JUST 3! Of course @julzjulzjulzz, @transformingmary and @betterlatethannever2016. There are so many more, picking just 3 doesn't seem right!
Love Nicole as much as we do? You can check her out via:

HISTORY From Wikipedia
Jews began living in Lithuania as early as the 13th century. In 1388 they were granted a charter by Vytautas, under which they formed a class of freemen subject in all criminal cases directly to the jurisdiction of the grand duke and his official representatives, and in petty suits to the jurisdiction of local officials on an equal footing with the lesser nobles (szlachta), boyars, and other free citizens. As a result, the community prospered.
In 1495 they were expelled by Alexander Jagiellon, but allowed to return in 1503. The Lithuanian statute of 1566 placed a number of restrictions on the Jews, and imposed sumptuary laws, including the requirement that they wear distinctive clothing, including yellow caps for men and yellow kerchiefs for women.
The Khmelnytsky Uprising destroyed the existing Lithuanian Jewish institutions. Still, the Jewish population of Lithuania grew from an estimated 120,000 in 1569 to approximately 250,000 in 1792. After the 1793 Second Partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Lithuanian Jews became subjects of the Russian Empire.
The Jewish Lithuanian population before World War II numbered around 160,000, or about 7% of the total population. At the beginning of the war, some 12,000 Jewish refugees fled into Lithuania from Poland by 1941 the Jewish population of Lithuania had swelled to approximately 250,000, or 10% of the total population.
During the German invasion of June 1941, 206,800 Jews were murdered by the Nazis and Lithuanian collaborators.[citation needed] Notable execution locations were in the Paneriai woods (see Ponary massacre) and the Ninth Fort.
Interest among descendants of Lithuanian Jews has spurred tourism and a renewal in research and preservation of the community's historic resources and possessions. Increasing numbers of Lithuanian Jews are interested in learning and practising the use of Yiddish.
The beginning of the 21st century was marked by conflicts between members of Chabad-Lubavitch and secular leaders. In 2005, Chief Rabbi Sholom Ber Krinsky was physically removed from the Synagogue by two men hired by the community's secular leader Mr. Alperovich, who then declared a new Chief Rabbi. (see Chabad-Lubavitch related controversies: Lithuania.)
THE HOLOCAUST IN LITHUANIAFrom Wikipedia
he Holocaust in Nazi-occupied Lithuania resulted in the near total destruction of Lithuanian Jews[a] living in the Nazi-controlled Lithuanian and Polish territories (Generalbezirk Litauen of Reichskommissariat Ostland). Out of approximately 208,000-210,000 Jews, an estimated 190,000–195,000 were murdered before the end of World War II (wider estimates are sometimes published), most between June and December 1941. More than 95% of Lithuania's Jewish population was massacred over the three-year German occupation — a more complete destruction than befell any other country affected by the Holocaust. Historians attribute this to the massive collaboration in the genocide by the Christian locals, though the reasons for this collaboration are still debated.The Holocaust resulted in the largest-ever loss of life in so short a period of time in the history of Lithuania.
Note d ^ The propaganda line of Jewish Bolshevism was used intensively by Nazis in instigating antisemitic feelings among Lithuanians. It built upon the pre-invasion antisemitic propaganda of the anti-Soviet Lithuanian Activist Front which had seized upon the fact that more Jews than Lithuanians supported the Soviet regime. This had helped to create an entire mythos of Jewish culpability for the sufferings of Lithuania under the Soviet regime (and beyond). A LAF pamphlet read: "For the ideological maturation of the Lithuanian nation it is essential that anticommunist and anti-Jewish action be strengthened [...] It is very important that this opportunity be used to get rid of the Jews as well. We must create an atmosphere that is so stifling for the Jews that not a single Jew will think that he will have even the most minimal rights or possibility of life in the new Lithuania. Our goal is to drive out the Jews along with the Red Russians. [...] The hospitality extended to the Jews by Vytautas the Great is hereby revoked for all time because of their repeated betrayals of the Lithuanian nation to its oppressors." An extreme faction of the supporters of Augustinas Voldemaras, a group which also worked within the LAF, actually envisioned a racially exclusive "Aryan" Lithuanian state. With the start of German occupation, one of Kaunas' newspapers – Į Laisvę (Towards Freedom), commenced a spirited antisemitic crusade, reinforcing the identity of the Jew with communism in popular consciousness: "Jewry and Bolshevism are one, parts of an indivisible entity."
The events that took place in the western regions of the USSR occupied by Nazi Germany in the first weeks after the German invasion, including Lithuania, marked the sharp intensification of the Holocaust.
An important component to the Holocaust in Lithuania was that the occupying Nazi German administration fanned antisemitism by blaming the Soviet regime's recent annexation of Lithuania, a year earlier, on the Jewish community. Another significant factor was the large extent to which the Nazis' design drew upon the physical organization, preparation and execution of their orders by local Lithuanian auxiliaries of the Nazi occupation regime.
The Soviet Union invaded and occupied and subsequently annexed Lithuania in 1940. The German invasion of the Soviet Union, on 22 June 1941, came after a year of Soviet occupation which had culminated in mass deportations across the Baltics only a week before the invasion. The Germans were welcomed as liberators and received support from Lithuania's irregular militia against retreating Soviet forces. Many Lithuanians believed Germany would allow the re-establishment of the country's independence. In order to appease the Germans, some people expressed significant antisemitic sentiments. Nazi Germany, which had seized the Lithuanian territories in the first week of the offensive, used this situation to its advantage and indeed in the first days permitted a Lithuanian Provisional Government of the Lithuanian Activist Front to be established. For a brief period it appeared that the Germans were about to grant Lithuania significant autonomy, comparable with that given to Slovak Republic. However, after about a month, the more independently minded Lithuanian organizations were disbanded around August and September 1941, as the Germans seized more control.
LITVACSFrom Wikipedia
f the main Yiddish dialects in Europe, the Litvishe Yiddish (Lithuanian Yiddish) dialect was spoken by Jews in Lithuania, Belarus, Latvia, Estonia and in the Suwałki region of northeastern Poland.
However, following the dispute between the Hasidim and the Misnagdim, in which the Lithuanian academies were the heartland of opposition to Hasidism, "Lithuanian" came to have the connotation of Misnagdic (non-Hasidic) Judaism generally, and to be used for all Jews who follow the traditions of the great Lithuanian yeshivot whether or not their ancestors actually came from Lithuania. In modern Israel Lita'im (Lithuanians) is often used for all Haredi Jews who are not Hasidim (and not Hardalim or Sephardic Haredim). Other expressions used for this purpose are Yeshivishe and Misnagdim. Both the words Litvishe and Lita'im are somewhat misleading, because there are also Hasidic Jews from greater Lithuania and lots of Lithuanian Jews who are not Haredim. The term Misnagdim ("opponents") on the other hand is somewhat outdated, because the opposition between the two groups has lost much of its relevance. Yeshivishe is also problematic because Hasidim now make use of yeshivot as much as the Litvishe Jews.
ETHNICITY, RELIGIOUS CUSTOMS AND HERITAGEFrom Wikipedia
The characteristically "Lithuanian" approach to Judaism was marked by a concentration on highly intellectual Talmud study. Lithuania became the heartland of the traditionalist opposition to Hasidism. Though outnumbered and named "misnagdim" (opposers) by the Hasidim, the Lithuanian traditionalists believed that their standard Rabbinic Judaism predated Hasidism and was Judaism in its original and authentic form. Differences between the groups grew to the extent that in popular perception "Lithuanian" and "misnagged" became virtually interchangeable terms. However, a sizable minority of Lithuanian Jews belong(ed) to Hasidic groups, including Chabad, Slonim (Hasidic dynasty), Karlin (Pinsk) and Koidanov. With the spread of the Enlightenment, many Lithuanian Jews became devotees of the Haskala (Jewish Enlightenment) movement in Eastern Europe pressing for better integration into European society, and today many leading academics, scientists and philosophers are of Lithuanian Jewish descent.
The most famous Lithuanian institution of Jewish learning was Volozhin yeshiva, which was the model for most later yeshivas. Twentieth century "Lithuanian" yeshivas include Ponevezh, Telshe, Mir, Kelm, and Slabodka, which bear the names of their Lithuanian forbears. American "offspring" of the Lithuanian yeshiva movement include Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin, Yeshivas Rabbeinu Yisrael Meir HaKohen ("Chofetz Chaim") and Beth Medrash Govoha ("Lakewood") as well as numerous other yeshivas founded by students of Lakewood's founder, Rabbi Aharon Kotler.
In theoretical Talmud study, the leading Lithuanian authorities were Chaim Soloveitchik and the Brisker school; rival approaches were those of the Mir and Telshe yeshivas. In practical halakha the Lithuanians traditionally followed the Aruch HaShulchan, though today the "Lithuanian" yeshivas prefer the Mishnah Berurah, which is regarded as both more analytic and more accessible.
In the 19th century, the Orthodox Ashkenazi residents of the Holy Land were broadly speaking divided into Hasidim and Perushim, who were Lithuanian Jews influenced by the Vilna Gaon. For this reason, in modern-day Israeli Haredi parlance the terms Litvak (noun) or Litvisher (adjective), or in Hebrew Litaim, are often used loosely to include any non-Hasidic Ashkenazi Haredi individual or institution. Another reason for this broadening of the term is the fact that many of the leading Israeli Haredi yeshivas (outside the Hasidic camp) are successor bodies to the famous yeshivot of Lithuania, though their present-day members may or may not be descended from Lithuanian Jewry. In reality, both the ethnic makeup and the religious traditions of the misnagged communities are much more diverse.
GENETICSFrom Wikipedia
The Lithuanian Jewish population may exhibit a genetic founder effect. The utility of these variations has been the subject of debate. One variation, which is implicated in familial hypercholesterolemia, has been dated to the 14th century, corresponding to the establishment of settlements in response to the invitation extended by Gediminas in 1323, which encouraged German Jews to settle in the newly established city of Vilnius. A relatively high rate of early-onset dystonia in the population has also been identified as possibly stemming from the founder effect.

Double Genocide: Lithuania wants to erase its ugly history of Nazi collaboration—by accusing Jewish partisans who fought the Germans of war crimes. By Daniel Brook, Slate July 16 2015
THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF LITHUANIA Lietuvos Zydi, European Jewish Congress
The JEWS of LITHUANIA
(The borders of Lithuania have seen many changes, including a period when it was linked to Poland. See Videos)
Lithuanian Jews or Litvaks are Jews with roots in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (present-day Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Latvia and the northeastern Suwałki region of Poland). The term is sometimes used to cover all Orthodox Jews who follow a "Lithuanian" (Ashkenazic and non-Hasidic) style of life and learning, whatever their ethnic background. The area where Lithuanian Jews lived is referred to in Yiddish as "Líte."
Lithuania was historically home to a large and influential Jewish community that was almost entirely eliminated during the Holocaust. Before World War II, the Lithuanian Jewish population was some 160,000, about 7% of the total population. Vilnius (then Wilno in the Second Polish Republic) had a Jewish community of nearly 100,000, about 45% of the city's total population. There were over 110 synagogues and 10 yeshivas in Vilnius alone. Between 60,000 - 85,000 of those enlisted in Poland's independent army prior to the German invasion identified themselves as Lithuanian Jews'.
Out of approximately 208,000-210,000 Jews, an estimated 190,000–195,000 were murdered before the end of World War II (wider estimates are sometimes published), most between June and December 1941. More than 95% of Lithuania's Jewish population was massacred over the three-year German occupation — a more complete destruction than befell any other country affected by the Holocaust
About 2,000 Jews were counted in Lithuania during the 2005 census.

Newspaper article The Evening Standard (London, England)
Rise of the Romford Dandy
Article excerpt
Byline: NICK CURTIS
DUSK falls in Soho, and in a dimly lit secondfloor room in Brewer Street, a bald man in a pinstripe suit is fiddling with the clothing of a leggy, semi-clad blonde.
It's not what you think.
The man is Mark Powell, East End geezer turned West End character, and bespoke tailor to the likes of Naomi Campbell, Ant and Dec, Dan Macmillan and, er, me (he made my wedding suit - just admitting my conflict of interest early).
The young lady is one of the models for his catwalk show at the Savile Row restaurant Sartoria, his latest bid to launch a ready-to-wear collection. As Powell says: "On the credibility level, I've achieved all there is to achieve in the bespoke field. The only thing I haven't really achieved is money. When I go to bed at night, I stop earning."
Mark Powell's clothes - a bold, theatrical amalgam of City pinstripe and gangster garb that predated and undoubtedly influenced Lock, Stock-style "geezer chic" - are as instantly recognisable as the man himself. But the hands-on approach to tailoring that is his speciality is, by its nature, a financially precarious business. Out of the cost of each suit - around [pound]1,000 - Powell must pay for the services of cutters and stitchers, and the upkeep on his Soho studio. "There's no infrastructure for fashion in Britain, no one I can go to for help," he says. The leap from personal tailoring to retail is a hard one.
That said, Powell has already explored most avenues of the clothing industry. Born in the
East End and raised near Romford, his mother a theatrical costumier and his father an "ordinary working man" who once worked in a textile factory, Powell designed his first suit for a friend at the age of 18 ("though I'd been designing for myself from the age of about 12").
He did his apprenticeship in a gentleman's outfitters on Conduit street.
Aged 24, he opened his own shop, Powell and Co, in Soho.
The stock was a collection of mint Forties and Fifties suits Powell "found in a warehouse". …

In the Catholic church, the celebration of mass is the high point of the week's services, and the worship service is often simply called the mass. Some Protestant worship services, too, focus on the sacrament, notably in Episcopalian or Anglican churches.
In reacting against Rome have we evangelicals drifted away from the Bible and pushed communion into a dim corner? In traditional European or North American churches, communion has a role, but it is overshadowed by other vital activities such as worship and preaching. Some celebrate communion monthly, some quarterly, some annually, some not at all. (more…)

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink: Diego Costa could destroy West Ham if this happens
JIMMY FLOYD HASSELBAINK reckons Diego Costa thrives in a fiery atmosphere.
Chelsea go to West Ham tonight looking to extend their lead at the top of the table back to 10 points.
Costa, 28, has been central to much of their success this term, bagging 16 goals in 24 top-flight outings.
And Hasselbaink wouldn't be surprised to see the striker add to his tally against the Hammers - especially if the home fans get on his back.
The former Chelsea star told Sky Sports: "He has been just exceptional this year, scoring different kinds of goals. Leading the line.
"It doesn't matter whoever says something to him.
"Big, strong, bullying people.
"He loves these kinds of games.
"We all know the West Ham fans, how hostile they can be - he loves that.
"You see him growing in those moments and tonight won't be any different."
