International Migration: The Well-being of Migrants
Dunedin, 2017 - Emigration and immigration - 158 pages
Migration has been a widely debated issue in recent years. Events in Africa and the Arab world have led to migration to the European Union on an unprecedented scale and pushed the subject to the top of the political agenda. Globalization, demographic trends and changing geopolitics provide a backdrop to the current discourses and policies on migration. Humanitarian impulses conflict with public concerns about the 'welfare burden' of migrants on host societies.The increase in numbers and diversity of migrants is recognised as posing significant challenges for social and public policies. Simultaneously the policy landscape on migrants' entitlements to public services, as well as notions of social protection are in a state of flux in the context of the adoption of 'austerity policies' across the European Union and beyond.Philomena de Lima provides a contemporary understanding of migrants and migration processes and trends with a particular focus on issues related to the wellbeing of migrants and their access to services. The book will inform and educate social science students, policy-makers and those wrestling on a practical level with the implications of migration.

Home » Gear Reviews » Fishing » Fly Rods » Trout Fly Rods » Scott S4 904-4
Think big flies on big water. We found the Scott S4 felt most at home fishing wide rivers from a drift boat or while wading, tossing big dry flies to rising trout, dragging big, weighted nymphs through the depths for bottom-feeding fish, or slinging multi-fly rigs when the fish can't make up their minds. It's less ideal, though, when going delicate with small dries or tiny nymphs.
Made in Colorado, the Scott S4 series lives up to its Rocky Mountain heritage. When used on big western rivers like the Missouri, the Big Horn, or the lower Madison where big trout feast on big flies, the S4 kicks butt.
Casting Distance and Accuracy
The S4 sports a unique taper that lets you accurately cast heavy flies while dropping them softly on the surface, but that also lets you feel the gentle tug of a fish on the bottom slurping up big stonefly nymphs. Most of the testers felt accuracy dropped off after casting 30-35 feet and even the best casters amongst us felt accuracy was an issue over 45 feet in windless conditions.
General fit, finish and feel
The California buckeye burl reel seat and deep blue-black rod finish make this is sharp, yet not flashy, rod. The deep butt-end well on the reverse half-well grip allows for a firm handhold – the base of your palm naturally nestles into that deeper-than-normal depression. That helps you better chuck those big bugs.
The stiff butt and mid-section of the rod really boast the power of the cast, while a softer tip provides good sensitivity once you get the fly on the water. You'll feel every nibble and bump. That means it's ideal for both deep nymph work, and soft surface feeding. Unfortunately, we found the rod a touch too powerful for delicate presentation of small dries, though is a master with the big flies (wet or dry).

Here we have top 10 horror movies. These are the flicks that make our hearts race and today we're counting down the top 10 horror movies list you shouldn't watch alone. We're highlighting scary films from other genres that are simply scary to watch.
Click below to watch video
It has been able to create moments of fright quite like insidious. Veteran horror director James Wan features a tale of a young boys struggle against possession and terrifying scenes. Insidious is a scary film that feels like it could just as easily be rated due to its sheer terror and its sequels are no slouch in the scares department either.
It's the ultimate horror film. An accomplished director, legendary actor, absolutely terrifying imagery do a spinning demon-possessed head qualifies. The Exorcist also nominated for 10 Academy Awards. Thus, proving the power of efficient filmmaking. It's actually an occasion to look at The Exorcist particularly with people who are simply afraid.
This is a remake of the 1998 Japanese film. It left an imprint on all who watched because the terrible premise highlighted the horror that comes from looking a mysterious video of Redrum.
Naomi Watts stars as a protecting mother who tries to interrupt the cycle of death by finding a murder case and so saving everyone from lonely VHS deaths. The ring was the primary of many Japanese variations in present time and was liable for exalting lonely moviegoers to decide their best friends to whisper into the phone so wrecking their Friday night plans who watches the ring alone.
It's the film twist to finish all film twists. The Sixth Sense stars Haley Joel. A young boy experiencing visions of dead individuals whereas kid psychologist Malcolm Crowe performed by Bruce Willis tries to assist him.
The supernatural elements of the film are for the most part less in-your-face than typical horror movies portraying the spirits as lost souls rather than revengeful ghosts. The sixth sense in an exceedingly position is ready to balance fear with humanity in a manner that well-tried to stay with audiences and critics long once its release.
Before the success of 2017 "IT" director Andy machete broke into the mainstream with this haunting gem. Like most of the cinema on our list, MAMA depends on old-school tension building rather than violence and gore to get it scares. It tells the story of two children kidnapped by their murderous father who is rescued by a mysterious spirit they call mama. After years alone in the wilderness, the girls are found and returned to civilization. But mama is not quite prepared for them to depart.
The mystery of Mama's identity is unravelled over the course of the film by a virtually unrecognizable Jessica Chastain as Annabelle and therefore the film's ending culminates in a very terrific face-off.
Based on the 2002 Japanese film Jew owned this Sam Raimi produced flick reminded everybody that a horrific death filled with rage or sorrow does not signify the end. With a nonlinear plot, The Grudge chronicles numerous stories of turbulent deaths and the cycle of horror that ensues. The concept of the grudge is inherently shocking but the visuals are merely on another level.
This found-footage flick made audiences wet their pants and Blaine loved ones for spilling soda in the theatre When Katy and Mika move into a new San Diego pad a collection of weird events inspire them to line up cameras. Katie stares at her sleeping husband for 2 hours and later gets the force out of the bedroom. To make matters worse the demon gets all kinky and starts biting for Katy. What happens next will shock you.
That you most likely picked the incorrect home to manoeuvre into, while your dog enigmatically dies throughout your initial few days and spirits begin to fulfil a desire to finish you. Such was the case within the conjuring wherever Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga star as real-life ghost investigators trying to prevent an entity from committing bloody murder.
You know the drill exorcisms horrible screams slow insanity, but James Juan's film offered much more than the usual genre shenanigans. It made people paranoid and afraid of being slaughtered by a smiling yet torn up doll named Annabelle
Kate Hudson stars as Carolyn Ellis a hospice nurse who is dragged into a dark conspiracy by unknown forces whereas caring for a senior man. Although it had been released to mixed reactions the skeleton key features a tense atmosphere together with some unforgettable moments throughout Caroline's exploration of the mansion. The film concludes with a worrisome ending that's bound to stick in viewer's minds for an extended time.
Chilean Spanish director Alejandro Amenabar crafted a scary story able to frightened audiences and a critic alike with 2001's the others. Nicole Kidman stars as Widow and mother grace Stewart in the horror period piece which takes place shortly after World War Two on a rural island in the English Channel. The others old horror movie is a classic but effective haunted house tale with genuine scares and striking visuals. The horror throwback garnered several awards and became a financial success.

Wedding DJ
Gene at Burning River did our wedding last weekend, and he made sure the dance floor was packed all night! We were shocked at how many people actually got out on the dance floor (our friends aren't usually dancers!) We received TONS of compliments about our DJ and his song selections in the week following our wedding! Gene was extremely easy to work with, always stayed on top of communication, and went out of his way to make sure our wedding was a hit. He even helped my day of coordinator with some issues in decorating and setting up for the ceremony! We are so happy that we chose Burning River Entertainment for our big day!Sent on 06/08/2019

Best dj!
We are a couple from Pittsburgh that got married in Culpeper, VA. We heard Eli DJ at our best friend's wedding in Cleveland and knew that we wanted him at our wedding. He was so easy to speak to and understood that we were on a budget. He was able to work with our budget and provide the best service we could have ever possibly dreamed of. The music was amazing and kept the whole dance floor crowded all night. He even mixed our entrance song for us to combine two of our favorite songs. People still are talking about how fun our wedding was and that is thanks to Eli!Sent on 02/26/2019
Cassandra · Married on 09/08/2018
Burning River absolutely killed it at our wedding! Gene knew exactly what to play and when to play it to keep the party going and getting EVERYONE in on the fun. There was also an entertainer Gene brought that everyone just loved! We cannot say enough great things about this company! If you want your event to run smooth and everyone to have a great time you have to hire this company! Our guests are still talking about them!!! Thank you so much for making our day SO FUN!Sent on 09/17/2018

Gene and James were amazing! I can't say enough good things about them. Gene was fantastic with our timeline and picked great music all night while James kept people up and dancing. Almost all of our guests told us that our wedding was one of the best they've ever been to and that Burning River is the best DJ they've ever seen! Thank you so much!Sent on 09/23/2018

Burning River Enterntainment was an excellent choice for our wedding! Eli was our DJ and by far our favorite vendor to work with! He was excellent with communication throughout the planning process and made me feel completely at ease the day of our wedding. When sound issues occurred during our ceremony, he was so quick to fix the problem! He was also able to think on his feet when we realized our large flower installation at the head table would block the view during toasts. He quickly jumped down to our cigar bar and grabbed two chairs and placed them off to the side of the head table. Eli and his coworker Ernie got the party started right after dinner and kept the dance floor filled until the reception was over! My husband and I are so happy we chose Burning River Entertainent and would HIGHLY recommend them to other couples planning their weddings!Sent on 08/17/2018
Megan · Married on 05/19/2018
Gene was absolutely amazing from the moment we met him at a wedding show all the way through to the end of our wedding day. He was incredibly flexible and accommodating with our nontraditional ceremony and reception needs; he helped out with our ceremony music, had a better sense of our wedding timeline needs than we did (thank goodness!), and helped us find the perfect karaoke version of "As Time Goes By" so my mother and I could sing a duet at the reception. Above all, we loved that he seemed to be having as much of a blast as we were the whole day! A guy who loves his work as much as Gene obviously does is always going to work to give you the best day ever, just like he did for us. THANK YOU GENE!!!! (P.S. My husband says: "I almost wish we had an excuse to contract with him again." Me: "Only almost?")Sent on 06/10/2018
R · Married on 05/12/2018
We had our own DJ and used the sound and light equipment from Burning River Entertainment. Gene was very responsive to what we needed. His prices were great - they delivered the equipment on time and had a tech person stay with the equipment. When we had a glitch with some of the technology, the tech person, no questions asked, helped and got us another piece equipment to use in its place. We would highly recommend Gene and his company!!Sent on 08/17/2018
Keli · Married on 12/09/2017
I met this vendor at a bridal show. I never considered needing lighting at the reception. After seeing some of Gene's other work, I knew it was something I wanted to add that extra touch. Burning River Entertainment did not let me down. The lighting made the room and our monogram coincided with our theme and really expressed us and our guest. Thank you Gene!!!!Sent on 12/11/2017
Lindsey · Married on 10/14/2017
We had such a good experience with Burning River Entertainment! From the moment we booked them until our wedding day we had great service and communication from Gene.

We would absolutely recommend Burning River Entertainment to anyone looking for a great party.Sent on 10/15/2017

This group of guys is great! Professional and fun! I loved picking music at our meetings because I had no idea what to do and they were music pros! During the ceremony my do not play list was respected! haha, and they were very professional! Not a lot of slow songs but a great mix of everything! I think there was VERY few times the dance floor was empty! Throughout the night and time frames communication was kept! You won't be disappointed choosing Burning River! I kept getting told it was so fun and such a blast!Sent on 10/16/2017
Cara · Married on 09/09/2017
Burning River was amazing. We had a fairly untraditional wedding reception and Eli was still able to capture exactly the feeling we were looking for. It was clear at the reception that his top priority was that my groom and I were enjoying ourselves rather than worrying about everything going right. After dinner, he knew exactly what to play that fit in our vision but still kept the party going! They really made the event so much more memorable.Sent on 09/14/2017

I cannot say enough amazing things about this company and about Gene in particular. Every guest after the wedding absolutely raved about the music and the DJ.

From our first meeting until the close of the reception, Burning River was very professional and accommodating.

Burning River's Gene was an absolute PROFESSIONAL! He was very involved in the planning process of our event and, most important to me, very quickly got back in all e-mail correspondences, making sure everybody was on the same page leading up to our Big Day. When the event actually occurred, DJ Gene had the attendants in the palm of his hand, leading them on a dizzying array of "Electric Slide" dances, Jewish "Hora" celebrations, karaoke and song requests -- he even had hula hoop games for the kids!! Moreover, he had a sunny personality, and really seemed genuinely interested in making sure that everybody had a great time. I can't recommend Burning River -- and Gene -- enough!!Sent on 11/19/2015

The YouTube videos of the different dJ's are so helpful in Picking out someone who matched our personalities. After watching dj Eli YouTube we knew we had someone who was real and would keep the crowd moving. The dance floor was packed all night from the very first song. DJ Eli was always willing to accommodate and help out in any way. Honestly besides the bride and groom he was the next most talked about part of the night in terms of how amazing he was.Sent on 08/30/2015

By Arthur D. Postal
WASHINGTON – The Labor Department has refused a request by 16 trade associations to lengthen the 75-day comment period for the agency's proposal to revise its fiduciary standard.
Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez reiterated DOL's previously stated comment guidelines last week, saying it was more than adequate.
The comment period is 75 days, followed by a public hearing and publication of the transcript followed by another comment period. This follows 18 months of "informal outreach" to get the opinions of all the stakeholders, Perez said.
The DOL published the rule for comment April 20, when it appeared in the Federal Register. The comment period ends July 6.
The trade groups say a 120-day comment period is needed. A letter they sent said that the 75-day comment period is inadequate to address the "far-reaching modifications that will be required to meet the conditions to the exemptive relief that DOL perceives as important" to protect the interests of retirement investors.
The letter added that, "a 120-day comment period would lead to more thoughtful and comprehensive input, which will ultimately increase the possibility for a more workable final rule that would benefit all parties."
The letter argued that, the current fiduciary proposal contains detailed new rules that will "increase the legal risks financial professionals face when providing financial education and guidance to clients."
It said, "The associations urge regulators to allow sufficient time for careful analysis and consideration of the proposal by financial institutions and stakeholders, as well as allow regulators time to make well-informed decisions about the proposal based on industry and public feedback."
The letter was signed by an official of the Financial Services Roundtable. Other signees included the American Council of Life Insurers, American Retirement Association, Association for Advanced Life Underwriting, the Financial Services Institute, Insured Retirement Institute, National Association for Fixed Income Annuities and the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce also signed the letter.
Barbara N. Roper, director of investor protection for the Consumer Federation of America, defended the Labor Department decision.
She said that the 75-day comment period (to be followed by a public hearing and additional opportunity for comment) "is more than sufficient to allow for a careful and thorough review."
She added that, "If these industry groups would put half the resources into analyzing the rule that they've put into opposing it sight unseen, they could finish their comments with plenty of time to enjoy a relaxing July 4th weekend."

Comedy legend, Sir Ken Dodd, the man behind the Diddy Men, has died aged 90.
The Liverpudlian had recently been ill in hospital for six weeks with a bad chest infection but had just been released and on Friday, he finally married his partner, Anne Jones, after 40 years together.
They were married at their house in Liverpool which was the same house that Dodd grew up in.
Robert Holmes, Dodd's publicist said "To my mind, he was one of the last music hall greats."
Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson said a book of condolence would open later, tweeting: "We are comforted by the joy and happiness he brought the world."
RIP Sir Ken Dodd. A legend and an inspiration. I have a lot to thank You for. I Was thrilled you had the best birthday party in Liverpool before you left us. Your city, friends,Family and Show business will miss you terribly. pic.twitter.com/iDeEC4yukJ

Ah, Ken Dodd has died. So happy I got to meet him once, and more importantly, saw him do one of his incredible 5 hour shows. He was an education to watch and, afterwards, at 1.30 am, he had beers with me in the dressing room and talked showbiz. A privilege, and a loss. RIP.

RIP Sir Ken Dodd. One of the all time greats. The funeral will be held on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and most of Saturday.

Hymn To Beauty
Within thy glance, so diabolic and divine,
Confusedly both wickedness and goodness dwell,
And hence one might compare thee unto sparkling wine.
Thy look containeth both the dawn and sunset stars,
Thy perfumes, as upon a sultry night exhale,
Thy kiss a philter, and thy mouth a Grecian vase,
That renders heroes cowardly and infants hale.
Yea, art thou from the planets, or the fiery womb?
The demon follows in thy train, with magic fraught,
Thou scatter'st seeds haphazardly of joy and doom,
Thou govern'st everything, but answer'st unto nought.
O Loveliness! thou spurnest corpses with delight,
Among thy jewels, Horror hath such charms for thee,
And Murder 'mid thy mostly cherished trinklets bright,
Upon thy massive bosom dances amorously.
The blinded, fluttering moth towards the candle flies,
Then frizzles, falls, and falters--"Blessings unto thee"--
The panting swain that o'er his beauteous mistress sighs,
Seems like the Sick, that stroke their gravestones lovingly.
What matter, if thou comest from the Heavens or Hell,
O Beauty, frightful ghoul, ingenuous and obscure!
So long thine eyes, thy smile, to me the way can tell
Towards that Infinite I love, but never saw.
From God or Satan? Angel, Mermaid, Proserpine?
What matter if thou makest--blithe, voluptuous sprite--
With rhythms, perfumes, visions--O mine only queen!--
The universe less hideous and the hours less trite.
~ Charles Baudelaire

May 3, 2018: Summary of the Spring SCMWA Grower Meeting
The Spring Meeting titled "En Primeur" featured the fresh wines of the 2017 vintage (remembered affectionately as "fire and ice" ) Featured speaker was John Raytek of Ceritas Wines. SCMWA wine producers were asked to bring samples of the 2017 vintage and to discuss their enological decisions related to the challenging harvest season. John summarized his philosophy as: "Through observation, vintage after vintage, we are continually reminded of the simple principal that most of the important work occurs in the vineyard, and the role of the winemaker is to allow the vineyard to express itself in a balanced, inimitable wine."

Since then he has had the opportunity of walking at all major fashion events around the world, the most recent one being in India during Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort. "I've always felt different. I felt like a girl ever since I remember and even my facial traits are more feminine then masculine. Being part of the international fashion industry gives allows me to be myself and to try and become a role-model for transgender all over the world. I wish to show everyone that being different is actually refreshing. I'm very happy to be join Feeric Fashion Week and that I am the first transgender to participant at this festival. I want to show people from the Balkans and from Eastern Europe that they should be exactly what they want to be and that there is no reason to hide such emotions. Preconceptions about what it means to be different no longer have place in today's world", says Petr Nitka.
Feeric Fashion Week will be held between July 17 – 23 in Sibiu. The event is co financed by the Local Counsel of Sibiu (Consiliul Local Sibiu) through the Sibiu City Hall.

Apologies for my late recognition of this – I've been away for a month.
As I don't own an Intel Mac myself, I may be getting in contact with some of those who have already emailed me about the issue in order to resolve it. You lucky people.
Expect an update notification on my site and through the widget when a fix is available.

I followed the instructions from BreakDancer site. After creating .cfg file I examined it and I saw that I have much higher % of flag 32 than suggested.
"Manually view the insert size and flag distribution results in BRC6.cfg to see if there are any data quality issue. Usually std/mean should be < 0.2 or 0.3 at most. The flag 32(x%), represents percent of chimeric insert, this number (x%) should usually be smaller than 3%."

The questions regarding this are:
1) Is there any documentation where I can find the meaning of .cfg flags?
2) What is "chimeric insert"? (is it same as chimeric reads?)
3) What would be the best way to get rid of chimeric inserts?
4) Would it be possible that divergence from reference (estimated nucleotide divergence in this case is around 4-5%) is responsible for such a high percentage of chimeric inserts?

Smithfield Foods Earnings Preview
Smithfield Foods (NYS: SFD) will try to beat its earnings estimates for the fifth consecutive quarter. The company will unveil its latest earnings on Thursday, March 8. Smithfield Foods is a hog producer and pork processor that produces and markets a number of fresh meat and packaged meats products both domestically and internationally.
What analysts say:
- Buy, sell, or hold?: Analysts strongly back Smithfield Foods, with seven of 13 rating it a buy and the remainder rating it a hold. Analysts don't like Smithfield Foods as much as competitor Pilgrim's Pride overall. While analysts still rate the stock a moderate buy, they are a little more optimistic about it compared to three months ago.
- Revenue forecasts: On average, analysts predict $3.5 billion in revenue this quarter. That would represent a rise of 9.7% from the year-ago quarter.
- Wall Street earnings expectations: The average analyst estimate is earnings of $0.67 per share. Estimates range from $0.56 to $0.79.
What our community says:
CAPS All-Stars are enthusiastically backing the stock, with 85.5% giving it an "outperform" rating. The greater community is in line with the All-Stars, as 83.8% give it a rating of "outperform." Despite the majority sentiment in favor of Smithfield Foods, the stock has a middling CAPS rating of three out of five stars.
Smithfield Foods' income has fallen year-over-year by an average of more than fivefold over the past five quarters. Revenue has now gone up for three straight quarters.

Small helps for Earth
The inspiration for this blog has given me the movie "Pay It Forward" - it has been about a boy who wanted to change the world in a simple way. The boy Trevor conjures the notion of paying a favor not back, but forward-repaying good deeds not with payback, but with new good deeds done to three new people. So it is like a growing pyramid of good intentions that can change people
Who loves nature and who wants to protect environment must deal with many sad and frustrating things nowadays. No wonder that someones are pessimistic about protection of animals, oceans, water supplies, air etc. However I do believe that any small help can be useful because "a drop to a drop and there is a sea".
For example, I have made and dedicated photos of nature - of course free - for the local organization of nature protection. So they didn
The most important is not to think "anyway nothing will change".

Nature is our home, where we all live. And we are all a family, big family, also the animals and insects. We have to love, help and take care about each other. Unfortunately our eyes see sometimes terrible scenes...
We photographers expressing all our feelings in the pictures, support or struggle against. But we all want see a happiness in them.
Happy Earth Day!

But,unfortunately few people really take care of nature....
I hope you have a beautiful day:)
A good article.
We love Earth, nature, animals, ocean, trees....
Happy Earth Day!
You are absolutly right. And thank you for your interesting blog. Happy Earth day to everybody ;)
You are so right Jitka! Every little bit we can do to help is a step in the right direction. I just wish that our governments had the same respect for our planet as they do for the money that they worship. Imagine what could be possible then ;) Take care :)
Wish you all the best too!
Thanks very inspirational, excellent blog.
HAPPY EARTH DAY friend :)
You are right, we are becoming more numerous with the leaning away from waste and flagrant disregard to Mother Nature. Last fall, I was quite encouraged and heartily impressed working with some new models ranging from 17-19 who are not just very intelligent for their schooling (most of them are really medical ,pathology, science,..students, ) all so well mannered, happy, kind, properly brought by their parents. I can't say enough good things about these "kids". I also noticed they were very well informed and conscientious about their place in this whole continium we call Mother Earth. Some even told me how silly their elders were to have neglected their responsibilites in the midst of furor to make money. Which I find quite humbling and amusing for their verbose conviction.
The first time I encounter such admirable conviction and inate wisdom in the young was some 11 - 13 years ago when I was traveling and teaching in Central America to find a group of 6 year olds who taught me more about appreciating the free things that Nature provides us. Is it no wonder that today, the same group of 17-19 year olds here in my North American city home exemplify the same healthy consciousness.
To me, as an older generation, this is very encouraging, as they are our future doctors, politicians, teachers,etc.. Yes, I am hopeful for these younger generations for a healthier Earth.

I am quite happy to ride the mexican wave that is crashing down on Perth at the moment. I have been to La Cholita a few times now and I think the trick is ... embark on this adventure with friends who want to order for Africa. This is always the best case scenario. Damn you two people date night ... you just cannot sample enough in my opinion. Maybe that is why I try and turn every catch up into a social fiasco. Was perfect to drown my sorrows with my Moogni (collective term for the three of us ... don't ever ask ... it's totally gay) over Tamarind Jarrito as they are both leaving me for fun times abroad.
Entradas: Guacamole, crispy flour tortilla, Market ceviche, Mexican street corn,Taco ~ beef cheek, pico de gallo, Quesadillas ~ chorizo, queso corelo
Fuertes: Wood roasted pork hock, recado rojo with Mexican rice - HOLY SHIT I will now order this every time. You simply have to poke it with your fork and all that ham hock goodness just falls off the bone. (Homer Simpson drool ... urghhhhhh).
Dulce de leche chimichanga - a devillish good dessert (an icrecream burrito deep fried and served with a condensed milk like sticky sugary caramel-y sauce. YUM.

[Webinar] Lifetime Value: The Cornerstone of App Marketing
The joint Facebook-AppsFlyer report Lifetime Value: The Cornerstone of App Marketing offered marketers an in-depth look at LTV — perhaps the most important KPI marketers should optimize towards. To compliment that and dive deeper into the inner workings of LTV measurement and optimization, we ran a joint webinar hosted by David Serfaty, Director of Partner Development at AppsFlyer, and Terry Meng, Marketing Science at Facebook.
The webinar explored:
- Key benchmarks from the report and their underlying trends
- How to leverage the AppsFlyer-Facebook integration to drive LTV
- The shift from volume to value and how to leverage value-based audiences
- Predictive LTV modelling
- And more!

Home > Blogs > Test-Taking Skills 101: Multiple-Choice Item Strategies
Because Single Answer Multiple Choice (SAMC) and Multiple Answer Multiple Choice (MAMC) items comprise the vast majority of IT certification exams available nowadays, it makes sense for us to address this item type specifically.
Tactic: Before Reading the Item Stem, First Analyze the Answer Choice Set To Identify Patterns
When you confront an SAMC or MAMC item, the first thing that you should do is to parse the answer choice set and look for any obvious patterns.
Another solid justification for reading the answer choices first is that you know before reading the item stem (which could be wordy and cumbersome) what specific tasks/concepts/technologies you are dealing with.
What do I mean by this statement? Well, some IT certification exam items (Microsoft MCSE exams in particular) present multi-paragraph item stems that sometimes are sometimes rife with 'fluff' that has no bearing on the question and ultimately the correct answer(s).
For example, if you see that all four answer choices in an item deal with how to perform a full/differential backup scheme in Microsoft SQL Server 2005, then you can read the item stem critically with this 'end result' knowledge in the forefront of your mind.
Stated another way, by parsing the answer set first, you are better equipped to analyze the item scenario and constraint(s) presented in the item stem.
When I speak of "patterns" in the answer set, do I mean that multiple-choice answer sets might follow a predictable pattern of A-B-C-D throughout the exam? Absolutely not. Please don't read into that old test-taker's chestnut that advises:
"If all else fails, choose response (b) or (c). Many instructors subconsciously feel that the correct answer is "hidden" better if it is surrounded by distractors."
Hogwash. Perhaps unskilled exam developers resort to such petty parlor tricks, but, and large, IT certification exam writers are pros. Therefore, you should never expect to find predictable patterns in multiple-choice items.
Don't buy into the hype that would lead you to believe there is a 'method' to exam developers' madness in terms of which answer choice in a multiple-choice item is correct. Believe me, there is no hidden 'formula' for you to divine. You waste valuable time that is better spent analyzing the item's concepts when you ponder this nonsense.
Nonetheless, SAMC and MAMC items oftentimes do employ particular patterns with respect to their phraseology. In my next post we will examine some of these phraseology patterns.

I Hate Writing (But I Love Having Written!)
Take a typical week. If I start early on a Monday morning, I almost never get anything written until about 4 PM. And truthfully, I won't really get much of quality done until maybe Tuesday afternoon.
By Wednesday, it's usually starting to flow. And by Thursday, it's a gusher. I think I do more real work on Thursdays than every other day combined.
It's not that I procrastinate (although I've been known to do that). These days, I know to immediately unplug the Internet before even attempting any writing. And I force myself to sit in that chair for eight-plus hours a day whether it's coming or not.
No, I just find writing fiction — at least any fiction that's worth writing — to be really, really hard. It basically destroys me. I stew, I agonize, I obsess. It's all about the search for the "perfect" plot point or the absolute "right" representative detail. And since, of course, there's no such thing as "perfection," I'm sort of doomed to this state of perpetual dissatisfaction.
If the writing's not coming (which is about fifty percent of the time), I feel guilty and edgy and worthless. And if it is coming, I feel anxious and fearful that it's going to stop — and, yes, dissatisfied that it's not quite right.
Okay, sure, when it is going really well, there are these fleeting moments of euphoria, but they're few and far between.
I always compare writing to getting a boulder rolling. It's really, really, reallyhard for me to get it moving– so hard I really have to work myself up to even trying. And it's so hard that once I get it rolling, I don't want to stop, not until I'm done with the whole project.
This last part has served me well. I'm a pretty prolific writer and this is the reason why: my lifestyle (and my lack of kids) allows me to enter these manic "writing frenzies" where I really do just write and write and write until I finish a first draft.
Unfortunately, when my writing frenzy is over, I'm utterly exhausted. Oftentimes I get sick, and I've usually lost weight because I've forgotten to eat.
Like I said, for me, writing is hell.
I'm envious of writers like Stephen King, who writes for exactly four hours every day (even Christmas), stopping at noon. And I feel bad that I don't do what all the writing books say I should do: keep a journal, constantly observe the world, make notes on napkins.
But when I'm not writing, I'm so not writing. I'm reading or biking or cooking or playing video games or going to plays and movies — basically, enjoying life — but I am definitely not writing. I don't think I've ever once had an inspiration for anything writing-related if I'm in one of my "non-writing" phases.
I can't just turn my creativity on and off, and it's definitely not always running in the background, like my computer's anti-virus program.
For me, it's all or nothing: all-consuming or completely checked out.
But I've tried it the other ways. This is the only process that works for me. After twenty years of writing, the only thing that's gotten any easier is that at least I now know that it will come eventually.
So why do I write if I hate it so much?
Well, it's partly that I was so bull-headed as a younger writer, so determined to conquer the world, that I didn't bother to learn any other marketable skills. Basically, writing is the only thing I know how to do that makes any real money!
But it's more than that. While I truly hate writing, I absolutely love the feeling of having written. The sense of satisfaction and accomplishment I feel when I've finally finished something I'm truly proud of is overwhelming.
I've often wondered if non-artists feel as much satisfaction and meaning in their jobs as I do with my writing (in the end anyway). I really hope so.
And those fleeting moments of euphoria I mentioned before? I didn't mean to gloss over them like that, because they're amazing. In fact, they feel so good that they're even worth all the hell I go through getting to them.
My close friends know that I'm not a religious person (at all!). But I gotta say: I find the writing process to be a transcendent experience. It's such a rush, sacrificing everything for that elusive glimpse of infinity — and then, every now and then, getting it.
In short, I really, really hate writing. But boy, do I love having written.

Last Saturday, the best friend and I went out for OOTD adventure (as she call it hahaha).
I don't consider myself as a model, because in the real world, casting manager for models will not even look at me twice because I am short, like, pocket size.
And because I am not skinny enough. Hahaha!
But I think I am quite photogenic though, kot. Haha.*blush*
Irregardless, the experience was fun, posing at different places, finding good angles that won't make you look fat, finding good lighting.
I have always enjoyed reading (and looking at the pictures) bloggers such as Annatasha, Vivy Yusof, and Audrey doing their OOTD posts.
Vivy and Audrey may not have the height of a model, but THEY. JUST. LOOK. SO. GOOD!
Needless to say, inspired by them, we both did this OOTD shoot out of random (well, we thought of this before, but never got the time to actually do it).
We both are no professional people, just two random girls taking photos at beautiful places using a normal point and shoot camera.
Oh BTW, we did the adventure at the Old Court House, as well as at the old Post Office building at the heart of Kuching.
Kuching is such a beautiful place with the combination of the old, and new.
It was indeed a great way to explore the city I had been living in my whole life.
Also, in the photos above, I edited it from a website called Picadilo.
It's a great photo editing website as it is not complicated to be used as compared to other software, for example, Picasa.
Among all the photos that we have taken, the one that I love the most is this:
This was taken in front of some shop at the China Town, Carpenter Street.
Photo editor? INSTAGRAM. Lol.
I can't wait to have more OOTD adventures with the best friend!
