THIS IS MY STORY by Mary Lynne Hodson
"This is my story this is my song praising my Savior all the day long." Blessed Assurance is one of my favorite hymns and is one of 9,000 hymns written by Fanny Crosby. She was born in 1832 and as I read about her life; I am filled with awe and incredible admiration for this humble godly saint. Her life contained, like many of us, disappointment and hardship but she was a woman who knew God and knew who she was created to be in this life. At six weeks of age she contracted an eye infection that left her blind. Fanny's only child died shortly after birth. Faithfully she followed God's call, ministered and lived in the poorest and roughest sections of Manhattan. God had a story for Mrs. Crosby, she lived it out in faithfulness, humility and beauty until her death at the age of 95. I love her story; I love to read about people who abandon themselves to our wonderful Savior.
God calls us to live in our own story. In the Chronicles of Narnia Edmund asks Aslan if his friend Aravis would encounter any more trouble." Child" says the Lion, "I am telling your story not hers." All of us are living in a story. It is a love story beginning with God creating us to have relationship with him, watching it destroyed through sin and then God in his great mercy sending his own son to die on our behalf so that we are restored into a relationship with God again. However, all of our stories are different and unique.
15 years ago my husband Clyde and I found ourselves living in a very difficult part of our own story. My husband needed to leave a place of ministry we loved. Our family was blessed to be a part of that church and we loved sharing live with the people there. It was in so many ways a very hard season of our lives.
During the process of looking for another place to minister, two different men contacted my husband and asked him to consider coming on board with them in their para-church ministries. When Clyde came home I could immediately saw how very excited he was about these new possibilities for ministry. I was making the bed really enjoying listening to him talk about the future. When he took a breath, I innocently asked him about the budget concerns for our family. Would these positions pay enough money to support our young, growing family? No, he explained hesitantly we would be required to raise our own support. The bed sheet froze mid air as I began to wrap my brain around the concept of raising enough money to support us year after year. In a few seconds, I whispered in my most definitive voice, "there is no way, no how (actually I think I said a bad word in there somewhere). I am going to allow you to try and raise support to feed and clothe this family. We have three girls to consider so don't even ask me to pray about it. I already know the answer and it's NO. You need to ask God to call you somewhere with a steady pay check. Trembling, I went back to making our bed with my heart wildly beating through my chest. My sweet husband knew when he was running into an immovable object so he limped over to the phone and called both ministries, thanked them for their interest but graciously declined.
A few weeks later, a sweet couple, the Bardens, took us out for dessert and shared with us an occasion when their own story became difficult to live out. They were a couple who loved ministry and were sure God would take care of the business they owned as they ministered sacrificially in the church. Sadly, in the end, through a variety of circumstances, they lost their business. She shared how she watched many of their material possessions be loaded up on a truck and taken away. However as they shared, their story wasn't at all about the loss they suffered, but about God's redemption and restoration of a family and faith. Unfortunately, through the grid of my pain, all I heard was the reality of their absolute loss.
In the following months, God graciously called us to Texas and a steady paycheck. After five years of ministry I felt the winds of change began to flow through our home again. Clyde began to talk more and more about a new missions organization that was holding meetings in our area. Sure enough one afternoon as I was once again innocently making the bed Clyde came home very excited and began to share his heart with me. He felt God might be calling him to leave local church ministry and pray for the nations with a new ministry called MentorLink. With sheets mid air I asked about a pay check even though I think I already knew the answer. With great fear and trepidation my husband whispered the dreaded phrase "well we would have to raise our own support." If I remember correctly, even the birds stopped their singing as they waited for my reply. I let the sheet fall to the bed, turned to Clyde and to my shock as well as Clyde's I said "I really do want to be open to what God has for us and I am willing to pray with you" Suddenly the birds resumed their singing, Clyde took a deep breath and embraced his bride. I stood there with palms dripping with sweat wondering what in the world did I just say. Yet, even as he held me the tiniest thread of hope about the new things God was weaving into the tapestry of our lives began to find its' way into my heart.
So for the last 10 years we have raised our own support. It is a faith journey. Every month is an adventure when Clyde's check comes in the mail. If it is a good month I feel like a five year old child who just opened a long awaited present on Christmas morning. Sometimes I open the check and the mountains of my heart falls into my stomach. That's when I hear the whispers of unbelief "remember the Barden family; they believed God and look what happened to them". After a few consecutive months of "Barden" checks I was really becoming desperate and vulnerable in prayer with my Heavenly father. Did he see us here? Did he know how seriously we needed him to be a provider? What in the world is going on? Are you going to let what happened to the Barden's happen to us? In that moment the Lord gently came and spoke so clearly to my desperate heart. He said, "Child that was the Barden's story but it's not your story trust me and live in your own story.
In the last year, Clyde and I and began a new adventure called Prayer Mentor. Here in this new place God continues to weave our story of faith through surrender hope and gratitude. God has a story for each one of us. As John Eldridge says, it's a story of epic proportions and it's unique to each one of us. Today ask God to give you the grace to live in your own story. Just as Fanny Crosby had a story to tell to the nations we all have our own story to live out praising our Savior all the day long. (back to 'Weekly Blog' page)

Event Date: March 13, 2019
Location: Online - @ 12pm EST / 4pm GMT
To address your gender pay gap, it is not enough to just fix the women. If your gender pay gap is in favour of men, your people – women and men – likely face systemic biases, based on outdated assumptions not just around the traditional models of caring and employment, but about what today's workers want from their work and family lives. Businesses that understand the new work-family mind-set are set for success, retaining and engaging the fathers they employ.
In this webinar our guest speaker Sarah Jackson, a leading expert on work-life issues in the UK, will discuss the latest research and best practice, including recent evidence from the Working Families/Bright Horizons Modern Families Index 2019. She will share insights about how to align your business objectives with the needs and aspirations of your people including:
- what do today's men and women aspire to — at home, and at work?
- why are so many younger fathers looking around for a better employer?
- why is flexible working only part of the solution to their work-family imbalance?
Sarah Jackson OBE led the work-life charity Working Families for 24 years and was appointed OBE for services to quality of life issues in 2007. She is a highly experienced and compelling communicator, regular national media commentator, speaker, chair and influencer, who has been instrumental in shaping family-friendly policy, legislation and public attitudes for over two decades.
Her fresh thinking about the UK's work-life challenges has included the creation of Go Home On Time Day, the Happy to Talk Flexible Working recruitment standard, and Family Friendly Working Scotland, the employer campaign now in its fifth year of funding from the Scottish Government.

Hey! Listen. You know that popular Christmas song called the 12 Days of Christmas? Athena over at AmbiGaming came up with a cool holiday themed community collaboration idea to gamify that kinda-as-annoying-as-Navi song (that we all love or hate). Basically, it's a countdown list each day that ends up with 364 items, times however many bloggers do this, at the end of the event (something like that… my maths is bad). Be warned that my singing voice is terrible, but here we go, eh!

Ho, ho, ho, internet!
Last year, the amazing Kim of Later Levels created this awesome Christmas community collaboration event thingy. I was so totally in, then I deleted my old website earlier this year, erasing my old entries of the interwebz forever. Alas!
Basically, there were 12 holiday themed questions bloggers answered on set days, in a format of their own choosing. Yep. I'm still trying to get back in touch with my joyful side after 2018's craziness… so I'm hyping myself up for that upcoming cheery Christmas event by re-posting my old answers and providing new answers for this year. I've changed a lot, man.

Kolkata, Nov 8 (IANS) Stressing up on the need for better environmental management and higher safety measures in the mining sector, Coal Secretary Susheel Kumar on Wednesday said the future mining activity would be in jeopardy if enough attention is not paid on these two aspects.
"I would say priorities for mining sector should be environment and safety. Probably these are taken of efficiently…the way it should occupancy the central position in your thoughts, I find, it is not.
"If we do not pay adequate attention, the public pressure would be so enormous that the future of this economic activity (mining) would be in jeopardy. This is, according to me, is an existential question," he said here while addressing the 7th Asian Mining Congress hosted by the Mining Geological and Metallurgical Institute of India (MGMI).
Susheel Kumar said the mining companies do not have fund constraints and there was no shortage of technical experts. "From the outsider's point of view, the problem is of attitude, lack of training and skills at the lower level," he said.
Recalling that it was decided Coal India would embark upon a detail plan of action which would ensure every employee would be skilled, he said he hoped this work is going on.
Citing an example of how concerted efforts contributed to improvement of Ease of Doing business index, he said the same sincerity could be shown by the mining industries to maintain the highest standard of safety.
On the sidelines, Susheel Kumar said the better safety measures in mining are necessary not only for Coal India but also to other industries.

Make copying a chat conversation easier
At our company, 100% of its employees telecommute. This makes our preferred method of live communication to be chat. Sometimes we need to copy snippets of a conversation into a work order, and it is SO difficult to copy text from Teams. Sometimes a person's name won't even appear above their text, once pasted, and the information has to be recreated. Please test this for yourself - copy and paste a few lines of a conversation, and please fix this!!!! Thanks!

definitely a needed feature
DO commented
When you copy in teams, a pop up gets in the way making it very hard to copy a word or a group of words from the chat.
Anonymous commented
I agree! This is definitely needed. Currently to get it to display correctly, you have to take multiple screen shots and save them and attach them to the email, etc and then recipient has to open multiple images to put them all together as one conversation. Would be nice to have a print or copy feature where it displays the entire conversation with all details in a legible format like Skype and other IM programs do.

This is desperately needed. I can't believe it doesn't already have this feature.

It is actually inevitable that as we get older, specific senses start to degenerate. Our eye sight worsen, along with our listening to, and those modifications can be annoying and frustrating. Midday desires to feel the negative effects of ageing, however there is very little that can be done to ultimately carry off the hands of energy. Fortunately, when it comes to hearing loss, there are many steps that you can consider now to lower the chances of harm in the foreseeable future. While many ability to hear concerns are genetic, most are noises-induced and so are the effect of several years of damage which has built up.
It can be genuinely in no way too soon to get started thinking of hearing loss to solve biostenix sesnsi oil new difficulties prevention, and even though it may not look like a pertinent issue now, it can turn into a major problem in the future unless you use the essential actions to avoid it. It can be luring to ignore the warnings now, but you will be glad down the road when you have used the main preventative actions and do not experience any unneeded hearing issues. Here are some important methods for protecting your listening to and protecting against potential problems.
Always put on ability to hear protection when you find yourself subjected to noisy noises, regardless of whether they are doing not are particularly hazardous. Activities as commonplace as mowing the lawn can drastically damage your the ears over time, so be sure you dress in earbuds or earplugs. It is essential that your ear canal protection posseses an air-tight close off, keeping all deafening noises. When you find yourself joining an event where by you will be in contact with noisy disturbances for an extended period of your time, you should be specifically conscious of making use of listening to protection.
Be mindful of the quantity where you tune in to your songs, specially when listening via earbuds. This is often incredibly harmful to the ability to hear, and while it is luring to listen for songs at a great volume, it is really not worth the damage that is certainly being carried out. As a general rule, if somebody sitting close to you are able to pick up the background music provided by your earphones, it can be also noisy. It requires several years for your personal seeing and hearing being considerably ruined by loud tunes, but little by little and surely with time you may notice the outcomes.

The Best Political Speakers To Hire for Your Conference
Brexit. North Korea. Donald Trump. These are just a few of the topics that dominated headlines throughout 2018 and look set to do the same in 2019. Invariably we have been left with more questions than answers to many of the issues that have dramatically shifted the political landscape over the last 12 months, and who knows what we will be talking about this time next year.
However, here at The Motivational Speakers Agency, we have a whole host of fantastic political speakers on our roster who have years of experience in the world of politics, and who can use their incredible insight to shed light on the biggest political stories of the day. Some of the people we can offer for your event and conference include:
Francois Baroin
With so much changing in the political landscape in Europe in light of Brexit, it makes sense to hire someone from the continent as a motivational speaker. Francois Baroin is one of the world's most highly regarded political speakers and has held some of the highest positions in the French government. Most notably he was appointed as Minister of the Budget, Public Accounts and State Reform in 2010 under the former president Nicolas Sarkozy. He has been the mayor of the French commune Troyes since 1995 and is ideal for a whole host of corporate and social occasions.
David Davis
Ever since the European Union referendum in 2016, Brexit has covered thousands of column inches and been a constant talking point in the media. So, with the topic set to rumble on into 2018 and beyond, who better to book for your political event than the UK's former Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union David Davis. David has been the MP for Haltemprice and Howden since 1997 and in July 2016 was tasked by Prime Minister Theresa May for leading the UK's negotiations in regards to their exit of the EU. This makes him the perfect speaker to book for your political event.
Andrew Neil
One of the UK's best political journalists, Andrew Neil regularly hosts programmes such as Daily Politics and This Week where he regularly discusses the biggest issues with the country's most famous politicians. Never short of an opinion, his no-nonsense approach to interviewing high-profile public figures has delighted audiences for years. In the past he has interviewed the likes of David Cameron, Sir Nick Clegg and Theresa May and during his speaking events can talk about what it was like speaking to such significant members of British politics.
Alastair Campbell
The original 'Spin Doctor' of the former Prime Minister Tony Blair, there isn't much Alastair Campbell doesn't know about politics. Working as Blair's Director of Communications and Strategy between 1997 and 2003, Alastair was responsible for helping mastermind Labour's successful 1997 general election campaign winning the support of many traditional conservative media outlets. Starting out as a journalist, in recent years he has become a prominent political speaker and is a regular on the after dinner circuit and is always keen to share his views on any political topic.
To book any of the outstanding political speakers that we have here on our roster, simply get in touch with The Motivational Speakers Agency by filling in our online contact form. Alternatively, call one of our booking agents directly on 0207 1010 553 for any further information that you require.

Tip of the Week #137 – Going With the Grain
Our newest Developer Tommy Svendsen Møballe shares with us his first tip of the week.
How would one go about cutting a sheet, when also taking into consideration the Grain Direction?
Print companies should understand how important it is to cut sheets correctly by having a thorough understanding of the information presented in their print mis (management information system). Incorrect cutting information will affect other parts of the system, not to mention the job itself. When the information is wrong, one of the affected areas will be the number of sheets used – and if the planning aspect has an incorrect calculation, it quickly leads to unnecessary resource waste.
When you want a printed sheet to be reduced in size, the lowest value of the sheet needs to be considered. If the lowest dimension will change, then the grain direction needs to be updated accordingly first. When the grain direction is not updated along with changes to the print sheet's dimensions, then the system will go for the incorrect sheet direction. And if the sheet direction is wrong, there's a very good chance of encountering additional problems down the road.
Result from cutting the Depth by 50 %, from 40 to 20 – and changing the grain direction.
In PrintVis 2018, the term 'Grain Direction' has been renamed to 'Paper Feed,' and the options 'Landscape'/'Portait' replace 'Long Grain'/'Short Grain' – to make it more relateable and easier to understand.
Thank you Tommy!

Ashton just finished fourteen straight days of medication, and she may be the most difficult cat to administer pills ever in the family. I have given literally thousands of pills to all of my hyperthyroid cats over the years, but medicating Ashton without traumatizing her is nearly impossible.
The problem with Ashton is she doesn't like to be restrained or held in any way. After her recent dental, I brought home liquid medications for her, and wrestling her into taking them traumatized not just her, but the other cats, too. When both Pierre and Ashton hid and didn't come out for dinner, I knew something had to change.
Ashton needed to take her medication willingly, and that meant hiding from her that she was taking it at all.
The first step was to switch from liquid medication to pills, which are easier to disguise for a food-driven cat like Ashton. Then I had to find something to hide the pill in. There are several products on the market specifically meant to hide pills. For Ashton, I chose chicken flavored Pill Pockets, because Ashton loves chicken, but you can't hide a pill in actual chicken. If your cat is partial to a flavor that they don't offer, there are other pill pastes and wraps. They important thing is to find a flavor your cat likes.
The key to successfully pilling a cat while hiding food inside anything is not using too much stuff around the pill. If there is, cats seem to chew it off and spit the pill right out, So for this pill, I broke the pill pocket in half and knead that around the pill so that it wasn't too thick. Every time I do this, it doesn't look like it's going to be enough treat to cover the whole pill, but it is.
Next, I give the empty half of the pill pocket as a treat. Ashton can smell the chicken flavor and waves her paw to ask for it. Since she is eating raw and only gets freeze-dried treats most of the time, this is pretty exciting for her.
After that, I offer the treat wit the pill hidden inside. Can you tell Ashton is right-pawed by the way it's nearly always her right paw she waves when asking for her treat?
She eats the treat without ever realizing there was a pill in it. I sometimes worry that my sigh of relief will give me away to her when she does eat it!
Once she has eaten her pill, Ashton gets another treat. This is important to make sure she isn't hiding that pill somewhere in her mouth. Ideally, after you give a cat a pill, you should syringe some water into her mouth to get her to swallow, but since syringing anything into Ashton is so difficult, we make do with additional treats to ensure she swallows.
By this time, Pierre has figured out that Ashton is getting something he isn't, and he wants treats, too. That's part of the reason I usually have extra pill pockets on hand for this process!
Does this look like the face of a cat who knows she just got medicine? Not a bit, and that's exactly the way we want it to stay.

What To Do If A Girl Stops Texting You
One of the basic realities of life is that no guy—no matter how famous, good-looking, or knowledgeable about game—has a 100-percent success rate. Everyone gets rejected sooner or later. Even Johnny Depp has millions of girls who wouldn't bang him. The frustrating part of the rejection reality isn't that it exists, is that it can happen anywhere in the process, at any time. A girl can go cold seemingly out of the blue. One of the most common places where it happens is after getting a girl's phone number.
We've all been there. You met a girl out, and you did everything "right": maybe you rubbed your boner against her for half-an-hour to some shitty music; you had her laughing at all your well-honed stories; maybe you even made out with her in the corner. You correctly tried to bounce from the bar with her, but she didn't "want to leave her friends." But she practically threw her number at you and you figured you had this one on lock-down. Then, after following the classic text conventions, you get nothing. There are a million ways this scenario plays out, but the theme is the same: guy has number, things look good, and the girl goes dark.
To fully comprehend this situation, you have to understand what you're up against. Girls nowadays give out their numbers like candy. There are multiple reasons for this. For one, it's the path of least resistance. Think about it: the quickest way to get a guy off your case is to give him your number, comfortably extricate yourself from the situation, and then just ignore his lobs. Girls avoid confrontation and awkwardness at all costs. But that only explains a situation where they don't like the guy. What about when she showed clear signs of attraction?
We're living in a world of endless distractions. The deadly combination of Facebook, ever-shrinking attention-spans, and the inherently flakey nature of young girls (especially American ones) conspire to create a bad situation. Cute girls have unlimited options. In other words, there's a good chance you weren't the only guy who rubbed your boner against her that weekend. What's more, girls are forgetful. She could have fantasized about being impregnated by you the night she met you, but within an hour she forgot about that because she got a text from some other guy. This is a double-edged sword that can work to your advantage as much as it can hurt you, as we shall see.
So what do you do when a girl doesn't reply to your text? Well first, let's cover what you shouldn't do. First off, resist the temptation of chasing down your text with a follow-up because you think, "she obviously didn't get it." She got it. Today's girl is glued to her phone 24/7, and she's reading and replying to texts constantly. The odds that the ether swallowed up your text before it got to her iPhone 9 are infinitesimal. Get that out of your head. Secondly, don't go to the other extreme and do what a lot of experienced players mistakenly do: immediately delete her number and write her off. Remember: effectively texting girls requires a Zen-like patience that is counter-intuitive to our hunting nature. Just chill.
A certain percentage of the time just forgetting about your text is enough. I've had girls reply to me, literally, days later. We end up making plans, and I end up banging them in the long run. But a lot of the time that doesn't happen. That's where the re-start text comes in.
The restart text is basically simple text volley that aims at resurrecting a conversation that's gone cold. It can work at any stage in your interaction with a girl: when all you have is the phone number; when you've gone out once but things fizzled; and even after you've banged her and lost touch with her because you moved on voluntarily. The important precursor is that you fully allow the conversation to actually go cold. I rarely send a restart text sooner than 10 days than my last communication. The goal of the restart text, simply told, is to re-spark the intrigue the girl presumably felt for you at some point. That's all. It's not a logical appeal to re-contact you because "you thought you had a good time." This is where a girl's forgetfulness works to your advantage. By the time you come around a second time, she's likely forgotten about some stupid thing you said that made her stop contacting you in the first place, or about the other guy who temporarily knocked you out of the first-place position. Often it's just as simple as catching a girl when she's more amenable to having sex.
Two Different Types of Restart Texts
The restart text is an art that you have to customize to your own style and to each situation, but these are some basic techniques to get you started. Create your own text following these approaches.
1. The Mistaken Identity. This is probably the oldest, and most transparent, approach. Girls, especially the smarter ones, can sometimes see right through this one—even though that doesn't mean it won't work. After all, it's all about plausible deniability. The important part is to make it clear that it wasn't intended for her. It's also nice to embed some juicy bait that she just won't be able to resist.
Example: "sorry I'm running late, homie. got into argument with andy's ugly sister. u were right about her!"
2. The Non Sequitur. This is basically a random, brief particle that will sufficiently stir a girl's nosy instinct into inquiring further. Don't make it creepy or gratuitously weird. The key is to wedge yourself into that nosy part of a girl's brain that makes eavesdropping, celebrity gossip, and "mysterious guy" in the room irresistible to her.
Example: "it was $20."
If she responds, you should follow that up with something like "oops, wrong person.", adding a juicy tid-bit to have her respond a second time, like "wait, who's this?" Once you re-activate the conversation, don't make the mistake of bringing up your prior interaction or immediately revealing your identity or intentions (to plan a date). Also, don't text endlessly with her. Dangle the carrot for a while—leaving gaps of different lengths between texts—get her interested, and plan to "meet up." Keep it simple.
A lot of the time, the restart text won't work. But it should definitely be part of your arsenal. You'll be delightfully surprised when you re-capture a seemingly lost prospect with this simple, nearly effortless, technique.
Top 10 Text Game Tips For Getting Dates With Girls
Like it or not, text messaging has become, in recent years, the preferred method for communicating with girls. Those cutesy, old-fashioned telephone conversations—where you actually got to know each other—have gone the way of dial-up Internet. It's almost to the point where getting a girl to answer the phone is actually harder than getting her in the sack. I know some guys that have had straight-up relationships with girls without ever talking with them on the phone.
A lot of guys complain incessantly that all of this has made planning dates more difficult, made flaking easier, and added undue challenges to building up a girl's comfort level with you. Those are all fair criticisms. But don't waste your energy bemoaning things you can't change. Girls have been difficult since time immemorial. Cavemen probably complained that their girls were so stubborn they needed to be dragged by the hair into their (literal) man-caves. Some things will never change.
Texting is a double-edged sword, to be sure. It has its definite downside, but also built-in advantages. And, like anything else, it requires its own set of rules. Your goals with texting are simple: to minimize flaking, maximize response rates, and get a girl to go out with you.
Here are ten text game tips for getting dates with girls:
1. When in doubt, keep it simple. Know the limits of the technology. Don't try to charm your way into a girl's pants in a black-and-white, 160-character message completely divorced of tone and delivery. It never works. Also, you can bet your bottom dollar that, if she's cute, she gets dozens of texts per day. She reads them with a cursory glance, not with a keen eye for your subtle nuance.
2. Largely ignore the rules of grammar. It's a sad state of affairs that good grammar makes you look bad with girls but, when it comes to texting, it often does. A perfect text communicates that you're trying hard and that communicates neediness—a kiss of death. Don't come across as a totally illiterate moron but, unless your target is a Ph.D. student in English Literature, leave a few capitalization and punctuation flaws in place.
3. Use jokes, emoticons, and exclamation points sparingly. Don't fall for the trap of trying to soften a risky statement with a smiley face or trying to manufacture excitement with all of your exclamations points!!! Emoticons, except when they're absolutely necessary, make you seem timid and girlish. Real men use periods.
4. Follow the old phone-call commandments. Some of the same things that were cardinal rules when you used to actually call girls are cardinal rules with texts: wait 2-4 days to text a new prospect (especially resist the suicidal, same-night "it was good to meet you" text); suss out her future availability in person, while you're getting the digits; and end the "discussion" on a high note—preferably by not responding.
5. Apply the "Jumbotron Test." It's annoying as all hell, but girls share everything with their stupid girlfriends. Keep that in mind when you're thinking about pouring your bleeding Romeo-heart out in a last-ditch effort to regain her interest. If you would feel comfortable with it being projected on the big-screen at a sold-out New York Knicks game, proceed with confidence.
6. Cultivate a Zen-like patience at all times. Texting girls can require nerves of steel. Irrespective of how friendly she was the night she met you, know that she won't respond to your texts right away, for a variety of reasons: she's genuinely busy, she's trying to seem uninterested, or she's actually trying to ignore you. Resist the temptation of sending a desperation follow-up text. When she does respond, wait as long, or longer, than she did to respond to you (without seeming obvious about it by doing it at precise times). Your goal is to seem comfortable and non-needy.
7. Insulate yourself from flakiness by leaving the discussion open. When you succeed in making plans with your girl—which should be the principle function of your exchange—don't leave the conversation in a place where you won't have a reason to talk before date-night. This is especially important if the date is more than a couple of days away. For instance, leave the location or exact time undetermined, so you can re-open the discussion with something like, "hey, you ever been to big ron's house of cheap beer?"
8. Know when to shut up or give up. Less is more. Even if a girl is vibing you and sending you a bunch of texts, don't correspond endlessly with her because, sooner or later, you're going to overstay your welcome. What's more, the more you say, the more likely you are to say something stupid that will dry up her panties. Conversely, if a girl is obviously not interested or clearly avoiding making plans with you, let the conversation go.
9. Use the "restart text" wisely. Even if you don't succeed in setting a date with a girl initially, you can often resurrect the exchange a few days later with a simple, random hello-text. This is especially the case if you didn't overkill things in the first place. I've often succeeded by sending a restart text long after she forgot some stupid thing I said or because I caught her in a hornier mood.
10. Don't over-think things. Always remember this: she's not agonizing over the texts she's sending you. If you find yourself staring at your phone for minutes at a time contemplating what to punch in or asking your friends what to say, go back to #1.
These tips apply to girls you haven't banged yet. Once you have sex with a girl, you can somewhat relax on these rules, but until then you must be almost obsessive about keeping your text game tight.
How To Flirt By Text Messaging
Text game is the new thing when it comes to contacting girls. It's slowly replacing phone conversations as a means to not only communicate with the girl but get dates as well. There's going to be a day in the future where our kids wondered about how phone conversations worked, like we ask our parents with mom shows us love letters written by dad.
When it comes to flirting in text messaging, the key rule is the shorter and the breezier the better. You don't want to numb the girl to you by texting often with many questions. By cryptic, use fragment sentences, and keep her guessing what you really mean. Send random text messages with two or third words followed by question marks. For example, "Going out tonight?" and "Anything exciting?" is good.
Always take longer to reply than it took her. For example if she took ten minutes to write back to your text message, take longer than 10 minutes. This is important so you don't come across as needy or bored. Remember that you have to play the game in text just as much as you would in person or on the phone. Seductions are made and broken by text, believe it or not.
The ultimate goal of text is to get her out on a date, so you should only send a flurry of texts on the day or the day before you want to get her out. There is no point in starting a long text messaging dialogue on Sunday if you want to get her out on Wednesday night. Instead just wait until Wednesday night where you can message her something like "What are you doing tonight?" The dialogue will sporadically continue int the evening until you suggest a meeting. Write, "a drink.. 9pm?"
If you're looking for the ultimate strategy in text messaging, it's this: KISS… Keep It Simple Stupid.
It would be a waste to spend all that time approaching and talking to get her number and then blow it on the phone when you try to set a date. What's even more important than getting a number is knowing what to do with it.
I remember when I went on a number collecting spree for six months just to practice my phone game. I was tired of it costing me notches, and didn't get very far with using e-mail. I tested everything I could, even seemingly basic things like the best times to call, until I settled on the most optimal system that resulted in the greatest number of first dates.
In my book Bang I share with you my phone game in several very detailed pages, from how to get her on the phone, when to text or call her, and how to ask her out. My text messaging template helps you get a girl out on a date with very little work.
It may take a few tries for you to successfully adopt my phone system, but I think it will be a big improvement if you don't already have one in place right now. Click here to learn more about my book Bang today, where it's all spelled out for you in very clear, no-bullshit language.

Mater Franchising arrangements are the blend of our day to be it offers the franchisor the perk of this particular franchisee's advice of the local environment; provides approach to local sales along with marketing expertise and channels; reduces investment; requires negligible government approvals; provides autonomy from hiring of small workforce and as well , consequently minimizes the financial risk of all the franchisor. The modern day regulatory restrictions on actual trading by just foreign makers coupled using sustained commercial growth; increasingly expanding market with your own thriving grouping of device consumers; quality consciousness around India consumers are some of the factors involvement to franchising being increasingly used because a model by different companies concerning entering Japan for the first time. A everyday master operation arrangement enables the owner franchisee towards develop this particular business found in a used territory beneath the the franchisor's brand reputation and signature with maybe without my right to manufacture these products for accordance for the franchisors' operating factors coupled consisting of assured mortgage returns as a way to the franchisor.
There is without a doubt a excellent of talking on the specific requirement within enacting an specialized police to reinstate this enhancing sector inside of India. In advance I search with my personal thoughts the subject, I ought to like to positively quote a few phrases from a major report made available by ones International Institution for some sort of Unification of the Private Legislation (UNIDROIT, an excellent independent intergovernmental organization together with which Sweden is virtually any member) that states that "the basic of a very successful franchising industry in any lies all the way through the life span of a "healthy mercantile law environment" which offers been desired as anyone with a new 'general legal procedure on marketable contracts, considering an suitable company law, where that there are an adequate amount of notions created by joint ventures, where mental property protection under the law are located in place to enforced and where companies can understand they can count on property of logos and know-how as well as always on confidentiality agreements'. The Indiana legal establishing is labeled by all these chief attributes, a particular fact established by essentially expanding world travel franchise interactions with Pakistan.
To evaluate the are in need of for the latest new legislation, let us first entirely grasp some of the tactics issues/concerns that involves a franchising arrangement the generally conducts to feasible disputes in addition disconnects allying the socials and insights on how they will be protected or else can exist protected interior the dominion of actual Indian legislation:
(1)Licensing and Use regarding Intellectual Terrain Rights: Ip address rights continue to be an integrated part of all franchising arrangements but also every franchising agreement usually requires transfer having to do with some form of Internet protocol right, either as the actual license to a trademark/service mark/trade name, or the new copyright, possibly a Patent e Filing in India, invention, feature or a trade mysteries. The form of benefit of you see, the IP legal and their protection in the direction of misuse is almost certainly one of the most important concerns of those Franchisor. Just a few of disputes the idea arise within the implementation behind the franchise agreement are relevant to these scope and as a consequence purpose of the trademark license, exclusivity of purpose and geographical scope, protection of confidentiality, extent in transfer with regards to the know-how, misuse and damage dealt with to an brand and goodwill related to the franchisor, etc. Similarly, post canceling related points include unwanted use for the marketing post termination, limited right to employ the art logos for a person's purposes connected with disposal attached to pending product (in specific absence involved with which i would say the inventory are able to go waste), destruction out of stationary created with trademarks/trade names, return but ceassation of use of IP rights. India presently has the best host amongst IPR linked laws with the inclusion of the Trademark Act of 1940, Trademark Act, 1957, the Eclatant Act, etc that have for vast protection and as a consequence enforcement instrument for the specific intellectual property rights which included permanent and consequently mandatory injunctions against encroachment and passing off. Indian is conjointly a signatory to the international business meetings on perceptive property liberties including that Agreement attached to Trade Applicable Aspects to do with Intellectual Property and assets Rights (TRIPS), thereby showcasing protection that would trademarks plus brand names, as efficiently as copyright laws and designs of all of the foreign franchisor. Recognition as well protection is going to be also lengthened to service plan marks during India making it possible for the unfamiliar franchisor to assist you license it is really mark returning to a franchisee to have the services synonymous by means of him in the consumers in United states of america. IPR as well as regulations have possibly been just recently amended to finally make these products compliant accompanied by exclusive appropriately obligations by TRIPS but accordingly, i would say the laws come together international demands for IPR protection. Far the Native american indian courts are already quite sensitive and hands-on with value to enforcement of infringement actions. It again is this is why evident this can is in no way the scarcity of IPR laws or possibly its enforcement that tend to potential disputes truthfully lack amongst carefully composed and flexible agreements between the franchisor and a franchisee equivalent to IPR issues that will lead on to potential Ip related litigations.
(2)Obligations most typically associated with Franchisor as well Franchisee: One particular crucial subject that main to feasible disputes despite the get-togethers relate returning to implementation to do with the funds of a franchisee the like as this particular duties and as well , services into be performed by generally franchisee, most of the investment and consequently infrastructure relating to the franchise, adherence regarding specific working with guidelines plus manual that would maintain uniformity, reporting requirements, quality aide of the product or maybe a services delivered; creation of an company between franchisor and franchisee, appointment in sub-contractors when you need to manufacture and simply sub-franchisee to help you sell the products on top of that franchisor but also franchisee's obligations owing with their acts/omissions; meeting using annual market penetration targets; minimum store purchase/import obligations; financial incentives to which the franchisor, consists of royalty along with fee. Similarly, obligations amongst the franchisor related in order to periodic practicing as in order to the execution of business, upgrading all of the franchisee via new guidelines and technologies, ongoing support, recommendations on general operational, management, accounting and management practices, place marketing additionally advertising campaigns, sharing within advertising you will spend generally initiate heart burns to specific franchisee.
The American indian Contract Act, 1872 must be applicable that will all i would say the franchise necessary arrangements and has for specific parameters to find legally enforceable agreements, suitable object purpose related to an agreement, lawful point for an agreement, execution of being an agreement, legal interventions to unfair or unconscionable transactions, consequences of fraud, misunderstanding and unwarranted influence, voidability and rescission/repudiation of agreement, contracts in restraint of most trade, dependant and depending contracts, productivity of reciprocal promises, put out and aggravation of contracts, consequences associated breach but rights type to liquidated damages, administration of indemnification rights, source and most relationship and obligations thereto. It is not each lack most typically associated with commercial the legal system but miss of very carefully drafted arrangements that most times fail my parties. The game is subsequently important in which it a franchisee tries which can bridge all potential gaps by ascertaining and checking "what obviously if?" situations raising in perspective the franchisee's financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing, human resource, sales not to mention business hosting capabilities.
All coming from all this does not have need of a technological law which generally is already in existence in a new form most typically associated with the The indian subcontinent Contract Procedure but every fairly detailed and perfectly negotiated loan agreement. In any case yet a dedicated law ought to only present you with a broad frame work, the information and facts and its nitty-gritty relating to the special connection has to assist you be normally contractually advised.
(3)Payment Terms: Delay in payment or just non-payment associated with license and/or royalty funds could be another locality of fear for the franchisor. Therefore the manner in which generally and most of the times in which some payments are undoubtedly to find yourself made may be carefully addressed. Throughout the event the franchisor is some sort of foreign entity, applicability because of prior mortgage approvals and vocabulary and conditions for different remittance should be in the loop to often the foreign get-together. The Overseas Exchange Employer Act, 99 and you see, the Regulations created there under specifically business address the telephone payment related issues. Over instance, a good Indian franchisee can remit royalty to be replaced by license together with trademark upto the amount of 1% of family sales and thus 2% for exports with no having prior government approval. As long as the licensor also provides technical determine how in the Indian licensee, this Indian enterprise can remit royalty up to 5% associated with domestic money and 8% of exports and group sum bill of up to US$ 2 million exclusive of prior government approval. Payments of queens above you see, the percentages identified above may likely need outdated government blessing. Detailed levy laws should be already near place if you want to deal with the help of the concealing tax on such payments and this also may achieve reduced dependent upon upon each provisions living in the suitable double taxation avoidance authority. The imperative issue would be that sometimes the franchisor and franchisee should be particularly made aware before kids finger on the payment as well as the taxation other regulations.
(4)Duration, Repair and Cancellation and their particular Consequences: An added serious concern of a real franchisee is the extendibility of a new term associated the franchising and certification agreement. Typically, extension among the phase is within the solitary discretion associated with the franchisor based to do with annual quick sales turnovers and performance off the franchisee. Quite all too often a franchisee struggles combined with the franchisor for reconstruction of usually the term especially when one particular franchisor has become lined down with many other franchisees offering excessive royalties. All the other possible scenario could when a franchisee is considered to be suddenly revealed to of an abrupt firing of the franchise transaction leaving the franchisee when it comes to costs connected with salaries, structure and recognition on business capital and moreover other cash owed. Now get we need a regularions to tackle with that abrupt cancellation or non-renewal situations. First and foremost of all, it will have to be easily understood where it all contracts entered within to between sensitive parties (whether under franchise domain or any more commercial arrangements) are terminable in nature. This are regardless linked the terminology in the exact franchise agreement that i would say the contract can be interminable. Their Indian Contract Act 1872 and the entire Specific Healing Act, 1969 supported due to various Substantial Court conclusions are sure that in you see, the absence pointing to specific offer authorizing and enabling oftentimes party to assist you to terminate each agreement, hailing from the very nature regarding the agreement, which is literally private commercially produced transaction, that this same could be terminated even while avoiding assigning your reason and also by serving a great reasonable find out.

Beethoven's Nightmare
Igudesman & Joo are back with a world premiere.
With over 45 million views on YouTube and a string of concerts in the world's most prestigious concert halls, one can safely say that the hysterically funny duo Igudesman & Joo have taken the internet and the music world by storm. When these two get going, what may start with Mozart might lead to Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive or a track from a James Bond film. Their previous visit to Oslo, in 2017, was a tremendous success, and now they return with a brand new world premiere. Beethoven's Nightmare has its starting point in the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's music, but who knows where it will end up?
The duo Igudesman & Joo consists of the musicians Alexei Igudesman and Hyung-Ki Joo. They first connected over a meal of fish and chips while studying at the Yehudi Menuhin school in England, and quickly discovered that they both wanted to find their own way of disseminating classical music. In the same spirit as Victor Borge, they use humour and virtuosity as their most important tools, to the delight of audiences all over the world. In recent years they have toured with BIG Nightmare Music, AND NOW MOZART, UPBeat, and many other shows.

Topic : How to create a resume template from scratch.
Author : Glorianna Massey.
Published : Fri, Aug 02nd 2019 21:58 PM.
Format : jpg/jpeg.
While writing can be easy for some, it can be a very difficult endeavor for others. I do not know how many times I have watched students and adults fret endlessly over a writing assignment. Here are a few rules for making it easier for those of you having a difficult time with writing assignments. The introduction, in journalistic terms, the lead, should bring the reader in , so to speak. If you are writing a freelance article and want to collect a check for your work, this has to be strong. The person in whom you are setting the hook is the editor or the publisher. You have to pique their interest strongly enough to entice them to read all the way to the end of the article. If you are successful, they may offer you the assignment or pay you for the piece.
The body of your work will be the main part of the article or writing assignment. You have to write the main points of your argument logically-from the strongest points to the weaker, from what happened first to last, or from the most important to the least important. This is your opportunity to shine, or fall completely flat, as a writer. Shining is good, falling, well, not so much.
Resume template is important to give your career a quick start in the job market. Resume is required for the jobs in all fields. The education resume template is important if you are trying to draft a resume for different positions in the field of education. Use of such templates will save a lot of your time. You can utilize this time on improving the quality of the details in your CV. It plays an important role in getting you the job interview when you are applying in any reputed education institute. It is important to follow the proper guidelines when writing the resume.

1.: Don't mind the rain or the rolling sea
The weary nights never trouble me
But the hardest time on a sailor's day
Is to watch the sun as it sinks away
Just one more day on the Grey Funnel Line.
2.: O, finest ship that sails the sea
Is still a prison for the likes of me
But if I had wings like Noah's dove
I'll fly up harbour to the one I love
Just one more day on the Grey Funnel Line.
3.: Now there was a time when I was free
Like a floating spar on the rollin' sea
But now that spar has washed ashore
And it comes to rest at my real love's door
Just one more day on the Grey Funnel Line.
4.: O, every time I gaze behind the screws
How I long to be in Saint Peter's shoes
Then I'd walk on down that Silver Lane
And I take my real love in my arms again
Just one more day on the Grey Funnel Line.
5.: O Lord if only dreams were real
Then I'd put my hands on that wooden wheel
And with all my heart I'd turn her round
And I tell the boys that we're homeward bound.
6.: So I'll pass the time like some machine
Until the blue ocean turns to green
Then I'll dance on down that walk ashore
And sail the Grey Funnel Line no more
I'll sail the Grey Funnel Line no more.

Since 1994, the Zapatista political autonomy project has been claiming that "another world is possible". This experience has influenced many intellectuals of contemporary radical social movements who see in the indigenous organization a new political alter-native. I will first explore some of the current theories on Zapatism and the crossing of some of authors into anarchist thought. The second part of the article draws on an ethnography conducted in the municipality of Chenalhó, in the highlands of Chiapas, to emphasize some of the everyday practices inside the self-proclaimed "autonomous municipality" of Polhó. As opposed to irenic theories on Zapatism, this article describes a peculiar process of autonomy and brings out some contradictions between the political discourse and the day-to-day practices of the autonomous power, focusing on three specific points linked to economic and political constraints in a context of political violence: the economic dependency on humanitarian aid and the "bureaucratic habitus"; the new "autonomous" leadership it involved, between "good government" and "good management"; and the internal divisions due to the return of some displaced members and the exit of international aid.

Zapatista autonomy and the making of alter-native politics
Views from its day-to-day praxis

The 2011 Israeli protest for social justice marked a change in the responses of Israeli citizens to political and social matters. The ways in which art and social change intersected during the protest, and the emer- gence of art collectives following the events, call for an understanding of the relation between art and politics in Israel. This article suggests an alternative reading of socially engaged art in Israel. To this end, I use Félix Guattari's notion of 'transversality' and Jacques Rancière's theory on the 'aesthetic regime' to highlight signi cant periods where art and politics have intersected in ways that have challenged Israeli art historiography, often neutralizing the political within an artwork. By using a theoreti- cal framework that emphasizes notions of hybridity and the blurring of boundaries, I make new connections between times, places, and practices that go beyond the binaries of center and periphery, mainstream and alter- native, and aesthetics and politics.
Narratives of the Invisible
Autobiography, Kinship, and Alterity in Native Amazonia
Vanessa Elisa Grotti and Marc Brightman
Shamanic knowledge is based on an ambiguous commensality with invisible others. As a result, shamans oscillate constantly between spheres of intimacy, both visible and invisible. A place of power and transformation, the spirit world is rarely described by native interlocutors in an objective, detached way; rather, they depict it in terms of events and experiences. Instead of examining the formal qualities of accounts of the spirit world through analyses of ritual performance and shamanic quests, we focus on life histories as autobiographical accounts in order to explore what they reveal about the relationship between personal history (and indigenous historicity) and the spirit world. We introduce the term 'double reflexivity' to refer to processes by which narratives about the self are produced through relationships with alterity.
René Devisch
Since the early 1970s, the author has been working among the poverty-stricken Yaka people in rural southwestern Congo and suburban Kinshasa. A descendant of a colonizing society, the author sought immersion in a particular Congolese community and later in suburban Kinshasa, as well as insights from within the host group's own rationale and perceptions. Through reciprocal fascination and compassionate encounter, hosts and anthropologists transfer onto each other images, longings, and thoughts that in many ways are unconsciously biased. The self-reflective experience of integration in other life-worlds has helped the author to self-critically scrutinize his own native Belgian socio-cultural matrix. The article advocates a type of post-colonial and psychoanalytically inspired anthropology that urges self-critical understanding of definitions of self-creation in relation to alterity constructs. Any further development of psychoanalytically informed anthropology, or of culture-sensitive psychoanalysis, should draw on this understanding of co-implication and intercultural polylogue, thereby allowing these disciplines to transcend their Eurocentric antecedents.

What does ecological restoration mean in an urban context? More than half of the world's population now lives in cities, and in response to the dynamic patterns of urbanization, a growing number of ecologists, land managers, and volunteers are focusing their efforts in and around cities to restore remnants of natural diversity (Ingram 2008). Ecological restoration is still a quite youthful field, yet many scientists and practitioners hold a relatively fixed set of criteria for what defines a successful restoration project, irrespective of where sites are located. Among the criteria commonly stated, sites should be composed of indigenous species, have a structure and diversity characteristic of currently undisturbed or historically documented "reference" sites, and be maintained through ecological processes such as fire that ensure long-term sustainability with minimal human assistance (Ruiz-Jaén and Aide 2005; SER International 2004). Application of these criteria has led to many ecologically successful restorations, but some ecologists in the field have begun to question whether the same standards can be realistically applied to sites such as those within urban areas that have been radically altered by past human activity (e.g., Martínez and López-Barerra 2008) or are being influenced by novel conditions that result in unpredictable trajectories (Choi 2007). Perhaps more significantly, it is becoming increasingly recognized that the broader viability of restoration projects, especially those in urban areas, hinges on how socially successful they are in gaining public acceptance for restoration activities and practices, building constituencies to assist with implementation and maintenance, and addressing a broader set of sustainability goals that reach beyond the protection of native biodiversity (e.g., Choi et al. 2008; Hobbs 2007; Rosenzweig 2003).
