Luv Michael is a Non-Profit 501c 3 organization that produces high quality organic, gluten-free, and nut-free granola without all the harmful chemicals and toxic allergens.
Your purchase enables Michael and thousands of others with Autism to realize their true potential.
Meet Michael Kessaris, cook and inspiration for Luv Michael Granola. Michael's new line of gluten-free and nut-free granola is taking its first delicious bite out of the fast-growing natural foods niche with distribution in the fifteen Manhattan locations of Fresh & Co. stores. In addition to meeting consumer demands for a high quality snackable granola in the growing market for nut-free and gluten-free foods, Luv Michael is part of an inevitable wave of career-finding solutions for those, like Michael, living with Autism.
For Michael and his team, producing the highest quality gluten-free and natural products was a logical tie-in; healthy dietary alternatives have been found to be beneficial to many with Autistic symptoms. Providing training and income for others on the Autistic spectrum became their mission. With the disability affecting 1 in 68 births and rising, employment for the maturing Autistic population has become an increasingly significant challenge for many. The success of Luv Michael is even more compelling, considering that employment for those on the Autistic spectrum is lowest among those with disabilities.
Finding a career was not easy for Michael, a Port Washington, NY native. Despite his love of cooking, Michael was unable to enroll in culinary school without a high school diploma. Michael's parents, both physicians, Lisa Liberatore, MD and Dimitri Kessaris, MD, helped create the food based business so that their son and others with Autism would not be a burden on society or limited in their potential to lead happy and productive lives. They started Luv Michael under the parent company, Indigo Life, which represents a commitment for doing even more for the Autistic population.
The idea was born to make a healthful quality product that could provide income and a career for both Michael and other individuals with Autism. Luv Michael provides a therapeutic employment environment, which caters to the special needs of the employable Autistic person. Luv Michael now employs over 10 full time granologists that provide fresh granola to Starbucks, JetBlue, Fresh and Co, D'Agostino Supermarkets, Gristedes Neighborhood Grocers, Wild By Nature and over 60 other retailers.
The Liberatore and Kessaris family are working with autism specialists to develop an entire curriculum based upon the New York State food handler's license and are dedicated to not only teach cooking and food safety but also all aspects of a small business including sales, marketing and customer service and distribution.
Luv Michael's mission is to "provide a meaningful culinary vocation for the Autistic population and to produce exceptional gluten-free and natural products." So far, success is sweet for Luv Michael.

How thriving can stop procrastination
I listened to a terrific podcast recently by Dr Christian Jarrett. He interviewed two world experts in the psychology of procrastination - Professor Tim Pychyl at Carleton University and Dr Fuschia Sirois at the University of Sheffield.
"All procrastination is delay but not all delay is procrastination."
Procrastination is irrational delay. There is something you need to do, or want to do, and the best time to do it is now … but you don't. Examples might be the report you have to finish, the blog you want to write, or the new healthy-eating regime you want to start. The time to act arrives but you shift the date in your diary (again).
Why do we do that?
One key point in the podcast that resonated with me is that procrastination is not a time management issue but an emotional management issue.
Many people would consider procrastinating as a time management issue - "I've got so many competing priorities, I have to delay some of them. I just don't have enough time." But according to Professor Tim Pychyl, that's not correct. Procrastinating is an emotional management issue. As a Thrive Consultant, this got me very interested.
When we procrastinate, our tendency is to beat ourselves up about it. Each time we delay the planned activity, our self-talk is probably self-critical. Procrastination feels like a character flaw that no amount of brain rewiring will change. The problem is that every time we beat ourselves up about pressing the delay button on our activity, we make things much worse.
Professor Tim Pychyl argues that procrastination is not a moral failing but rather a coping mechanism for painful feelings. It's a psychological avoidance of tasks we fear for some reason. In The Thrive Programme, we discuss how our fears stem from our beliefs.
We know that positive, resilient and thriving people have strong psychological foundations. These foundations are the beliefs they hold about themselves - their self-efficacy, self-confidence, and social confidence. So if we're procrastinating due to a fear, it may be we hold a belief such as:
- I couldn't cope if I failed this task
- I have no willpower
- I can't do this task - I don't have the skills
- I'm a procrastinator - it's just me
When we avoid or delay the activity, we might feel temporary relief. And that feels good … temporarily. The activity itself is likely to be something that we believe is a bit stressful, challenging, or boring. Whatever negative emotions we feel we're avoiding, we're only avoiding them temporarily.
Why am I procrastinating?
Ask yourself this question next time you delay. Probe yourself. What belief is driving this avoidance? Our beliefs aren't fact and they can be changed. If you believe "it's just me … I've always been a procrastinator" then that's okay if you want to hold onto that belief. But is it helpful to you?
Professor Tim Pschyl says to be careful about minimising procrastination as a minor issue. The personal costs associated with procrastination can include severe impacts to performance, well-being, health, relationships, and regrets. "Procrastinators get sick more often, report higher rates of depression, and suffer the somatic and psychological effects of elevated stress. Procrastination doesn't only affect our personal well-being and integrity, but it has an ethical dimension, affecting those around us who suffer "second-hand," either because of the time we take away from them when we rush off to finish things last-minute, or because the stress we put ourselves under negatively affects the health of our relationships."
4 ideas to reduce procrastination
- Stop the negative self-talk when you have procrastinated. Don't berate yourself. Stop the "there I go again … failed again to do what I said I'd do"
- Just start the very first action required of the activity. If it's a report you have to write, decide on the structure of the report and start writing. If you need input from others for the report, get the input. Just start.
- Think about the positives you'll experience when you complete the activity.
- Start the positive self-talk when you have completed your activity or the first chunk of your activity. "I'm pleased to have put the effort in to get this started/finished. I can get things done when I put my mind to it."
To sum up Professor Tim Pychyl's research on our attitudes about procrastination: "We think we're having more fun, but we're not". "We think we're not affecting our future self, but we are" and "it's all about giving in to feel good," which, see point number one, doesn't actually work that well.
In The Thrive Programme we teach people how to discover and strengthen their beliefs and thinking styles that impact attitudes such as procrastination.
"Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task." ~ William James

It always seems that the town we live in is the last place we think to explore when it comes to visiting interesting places. For us it's Scottsdale, AZ and we LOVE it!! Most people would be very pleasantly surprised to find that there are great shops, galleries, restaurants and architecture within a short walk or drive from their own front door. Many of these "hidden treasures" are locally owned and when you shop locally owned businesses, your money is re-circulated over and over and creates up to 75% more tax revenue to your community and state! So grab your camera and go out and be a tourist in your own town! Visit your local Convention and Visitors Bureau get maps and information on local history, arts, tours, restaurants and shops. Enjoy your own home town! And right now is a great time to book a night at a local resort because the rates are super! The Hotel Valley Ho is one of our favorites.

Community Financial Credit Union adding south-side office
BY: GEOFF PICKLE, WEB email@example.com
Posted online February 19, 2018 | 12:39 pm
Community Financial Credit Union is constructing a south-side branch on the development-heavy West Republic Road.
Less than a mile west of the intersection of Republic Road and Kansas Expressway — where plans to extend the expressway are underway — the credit union broke ground Jan. 23 at 2624 W. Republic Road, currently an empty lot, according to a news release.
This is an opportunity that we've been dreaming and thinking about for a long time. A lot of planning has gone into this," Community Financial CEO Loretta Roney said in a groundbreaking video posted to the company's Facebook page.
Eric Street, project architect with Buxton Kubik Dodd Creative, said a general contractor has not yet been selected for the planned 11,000-square-foot credit union. He declined to disclose the estimated project cost. Credit union and city of Springfield officials were not in their offices today in observance of Presidents Day.
Street said the new Community Financial Credit Union replaces a closed office at 1220 E. Walnut Lawn St. He was unsure when the Walnut Lawn branch shuttered.
Officials are targeting completion of the new location on Republic Road by year's end, Street said.
On Springfield Business Journal's 2017 list of the area's largest credit unions, Community Financial ranked fifth with $64.3 million in 2016 assets. The company reported 7,490 members as of March 27, 2017.
On Republic Road near the planned expansion of Kansas Expressway, other developments include Magers Crossing, Veterans Health Care of the Ozarks' Springfield clinic, a new Burger King and a renovation of the former Remington's community event center.

Buyers have doubled the amount of information they use before deciding to purchase products, according to Google's Zero Moment of Truth study. Companies that provide good information to buyers are the ones that are closing the sale. They are using videos, eBooks, webinars and blog articles to draw visitors into their marketing funnels and help them make their way through to a purchase decision. So how can you use your blog to sync with your prospect's buying process and help them with their purchasing decision?
Who is your ideal prospect?
The first step in developing your blogging strategy is to define your ideal prospect. Once you define your ideal prospect, you can target the subjects and voice of your blog to resonate with them. Ask yourself questions like:
- What industry does my ideal prospect work in?
- What are their job titles?
- What problems do they face that are preventing them from achieving their goals?
- Where do they turn when they research information to solve business problems?
- What are their typical demographics? Age? Gender? Education?
A good way to start defining your ideal prospect is to evaluate your current customer base to look for commonalities. Target the tone of your blog to your ideal prospect. Write in their "language" - use their vernacular and style in your blog articles. For example, if you're ideal customer is a no-nonsense CEO, avoid flowery prose and get quickly to the point.
What questions does your ideal prospect have?
Once you know who your ideal prospect is, the next step is to figure out the questions they have that relate to what you're selling. Keep in mind that you're not selling, you're answering questions. According to Gleanster, 90% of visitors aren't ready to buy when they first come to your website. If they're not ready to buy, don't selll them! If you're selling with your blog, you won't get many return visitors.
So what are the questions that your customers are asking? Ask your customer-facing employees. Talk to call center reps, account managers and others to find the common threads customers have about the problem your product or service solves. Write 500-700 word articles answering customer questions. Again, don't sell, just answer questions.
Use your blog to start your lead nurturing process
So you're probably wondering how you can use your blog to grow if you're not selling with it. Think of your blog as a means of filling the top of your lead nurturing funnel. Here is a graphic depiction of the inbound lead generation process.
Your blog should serve as a starting point for inbound lead generation. Use a call-to-action within your blog to offer readers a chance to download an eBook or a video that gives them more educational information. In exchange for the download, the visitor gives you an email address. You can then use email marketing to nurture the lead by providing them with the right information at the right time as they move through their buying process.
Use inbound marketing to promote your blog
Now that you're publishing blog articles that educate your prospects and draw them into your marketing funnel, it's time to expand your reach by promoting them. Here are some tips for promoting your blog.
- Make sure to use keyword phrases in your blog titles and articles that reflect what customers use to search for you on Google. This will help your content get found when people make relevant Google searches.
- Promote your blog articles on the social media networks your ideal prospects use. This not only increases the reach of your blog, but social media shares send signals to search engine that you're producing good content. Reach out to vendors, customers and industry influencers to promote your blog on their social media channels. Make it easy for them - include sharing buttons on your blog.
- Use email marketing to promote your blog. Send an email that promotes your blog and offers recipients an opportunity to subscribe.
Buyers are increasingly looking for information to help them make purchasing decisions. A well-written business blog that answers the questions your ideal prospect has is an excellent way to draw potential buyers into your marketing process. Make sure to have lead conversion opportunities on all of your blog articles; blogging is often the first step in a lead nurturing process. Use your blog to sync with your prospect's buying process and generate new customers for your business.

Metro Reasons: Metro will keep its short late-night hours for at least another year
Metro will keep its shorter late-night hours for at least another year, meaning trains will continue to run no later than 1 am on Fridays and Saturdays, 11:30 pm weekdays, and 11 pm on Sundays for the next fiscal year starting July. With this schedule, Metro continues to have the shortest hours of any similar rail system in the US.
On May 10, Metro staff made the case to the agency's Board of Directors that the system should continue to close early to allow preventative maintenance trackwork to continue. A follow-up vote Thursday, March 24 approved the measure to extend these limited hours in hopes of making the system more proactive about preventing track issues.
#wmata attributes a 3% drop in roadway fires to its preventative maintenance program; it's targeting a 50% reduction over 2 years. pic.twitter.com/JaGnvRclB2— Metro Reasons (@MetroReasons) May 7, 2018
Metro first reintroduced a preventative maintenance program back in July 2017, cutting rail service by eight hours per week so the system closes for 41 instead of 33. In exchange, the agency implemented six programs they said would help them deal with track issues before they became emergencies.
The programs are supposed to check for bad power cables, find where power escapes the track power system and causes fires, properly grind and maintain switches, torque track fasteners, keep the tracks level and in proper alignment with ballast tampening, and clean up the trackbed.
The Metro Board of Directors previously approved the program to run for two years, but required periodic updates to its status.
Nine months in, Metro says the program is mostly on track. Three of the six programs — cable meggering, stray current testing, and switch maintenance — are ahead of the agency's two-year completion schedule at 103%, 124%, and 344% completion, respectively, while tamping is close at 94%.
Trackbed cleaning is behind schedule at 72%, which Metro attributed to the Red Line waterproofing pilot program taking priority over track time. Torqueing track fasteners is also behind schedule at 67% completion. Metro's Laura Mason said the work was delayed because newly-purchased tools for the job didn't work out as expected.
Fewer track defects and fires attributed to proactive trackwork
Metro staff hope to use the new preventative maintenance program to help move the agency towards doing proactive, routine work instead of requiring emergencies which create reactive spur-of-the-moment trackwork to fix issues.
This is a good look. #WMATA's submitted 59% fewer emergency track requests so far this year compared to last. Emergency requests disrupt revenue service and scheduled overnight maintenance. pic.twitter.com/p7H1s1AiZD— Metro Reasons (@MetroReasons) May 7, 2018
Metro attributes some progress to the program. The agency says electrical fire incidents are down 3% since the same time last year — from 33 to 31 — while Fiscal Year 2017 had a total of 55 electrical fires. Metro's goal is to nearly halve fires by next year, for an estimated 28.
On the track side of things, the agency has recorded 243 track defects so far this year, down from 374 the same time last year. Fiscal Year 2017 had a total of 874 identified track defects. Metro hopes to also be able to reduce the number of defects by 50%, bringing total track defects down to an estimated 437 next year.
Fewer emergency track defects or fires means fewer disruptions to train service. For Metro, it also means that employees can do their work more routinely. Emergency track requests typically take precedence over scheduled routine trackwork so the more there are, the more disruptive they become.
Metro crews created 2,142 and 2,528 emergency track requests in the first nine months of Fiscal Years 2016 and 2017, respectively. Only 1,034 requests have been made so far in FY 2018, although more work is yet to come to bring that number even further down.
With shorter hours, Metro says conducting work is more efficient
Metro's new, shorter, service hours began last summer in July 2017. The agency is now closed 41 hours of the week, up from only closing for 36 hours per week in 2016 though down from the 44 hours per week it stayed closed back in 1998.
Metro says the shorter hours were needed to allow workers to be more efficient and get more work done when they're out on the tracks. We previously covered how Metro's existing trackwork schedule caused workers to spend lots of time setting up and tearing down work zones, but accomplishing little actual work. Metro changed all that with SafeTrack when they began taking sections of track out of service for days or weeks at a time, meaning the percentage of time spent setting up and tearing down was minimal compared to how much time was spent actually doing work.
Shorter system hours this past year have allowed Metro workers to be more efficient, according to the agency. Board documents say that with the 24% increase in time that the system is closed, workers were able to accomplish 34% more work — or "work-wrench hours," as the agency calls it. Workers were able to spend 113,085 hours being productive so far in this current fiscal year, but only 84,656 productive hours had been spent at this time in Fiscal Year 2016 before SafeTrack.
Work-wrench hours measure the "total time that a technician has tools-in-hand and is directly conducting work." The metric doesn't measure the efficiency of the work or its quality. Metro did not provide work-wrench hour figures for FY 2017, during which rail service was severely impacted by SafeTrack.
Metro chalks the extra productivity up primarily to the shortened hours on on the weekends, where the system now closes earlier and opens later than it used to. Productive work increased 144% over Friday to Sunday, according to the agency, in FY 2018 as compared to FY 2016.
Here are the hours of service changes, FY 2016 to FY 2018, which will stay the same for FY 2019:
- Monday to Thursday: Metrorail closes 11:30 pm instead of midnight
- Friday and Saturday: Metrorail closes 1 am instead of 3 am
- Sunday: Opens 8 am instead of 7 am, closes 11 pm instead of midnight

The Ryan Gosling-Emma Stone musical drama La La Land leads this year's Academy Awards race with 14 nominations, tying the record previously set by Titanic and All About Eve. After its triumph at the Golden Globes (a record seven trophies win in the ceremony's 74-year history), there's no reason why La La Land won't continue its winning streak on Oscar night (unless the Russians decide to step in….)
But before you decide to wager your month's salary in the office pool, consider this: La La Land isn't nominated for Best Ensemble at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Now why is that important? Since Mel Gibson's Braveheart in 1996, no film has won Best Picture without at least being nominated for Best Ensemble at SAG. Thought you should know that. So don't rule out Moonlight or Manchester by the Sea to rain on La La Land's parade.
And speaking of Mel Gibson, it's official: Hollywood has (we think) forgiven his trespasses by honouring him with a Best Director nom for the war epic Hacksaw Ridge, which also picked up a Best Actor nod for Andrew Garfield. What are the chances of the Oscar producers pairing Garfield with ex-girlfriend and La La Land's Best Actress nominee Emma Stone as presenters?
Catch The 89th Academy Awards on Feb 27 on HBO (StarHub Ch 601) or StarHub Go for HBO subscribers, starting with the red carpet coverage at 8am, followed by the ceremony at 9.30am. With Jimmy Kimmel as the host. Here are the nominations in the major categories. (Photo: TPG News/Click Photos)

For one week, the Paul&Shark store at Via Montenapoleone 16 will be transformed into a marina showcasing the MCY collection. Visitors can marvel at the iconic design of MCY models thanks to the presence of scale reproductions of five boats from the collection.

Hot off the press!
This newsletter was an assignment I did for a college class; I was a little enthusiastic with my dates: The tea-house still needs a month of remodeling and setup, the college club will have to wait until spring and the real dance party is growing at a hall in town, but......
The great news is unchanged: I AM OPENING A TEA HOUSE!!!
Along Highway 101 in Sequim, Goodness Tea House will have loose leaf-tea, chaga tea with cold brew coffee, gluten-free cookies, chocolates and light seasonal food. It will be a permanent, consistent version of the booths I have had the past two years at area farmer's markets and festivals. This space will also make it easier to have more herbs available bulk and to provide a greater variety of infusions, elixirs and tonics.
I think its going to be really fun.
In the evenings Goodness Tea House will be "closed" for regular business, but open as a space for classes, community groups, open mic or spoken word, even movie night. Sure we want to make make organic and local healthy eating more accessible, but within that we want to provide a fun community space to connect, to find empowerment-pals, to share skills and have a moment with a really nice cup of tea.

Featured | Bio
Well this is unfair because I'm Sicilian, and I make a much better impression in person than I do through a web site bio. You can't see my hands as you read this, so how could you possibly understand what I am talking about? I will do my best given this handicap. The norm is making sure I have populated this with SEO friendly phrases like "adept storyteller", and "Emmy award-winning," but I'm from the Midwest and any semblance of bragging is frowned upon. For those of you who like the details: I am a commercial director with an extensive range of genre and technique, from highly-stylized pieces, to drama and comedy, with a focus on production value throughout. I've worked nationally and abroad for the last two decades after having graduated with honors with a BFA in Film. The bottom line is that I am passionate about visualizing stories and capturing the magic in cinematic moments— moments that need to be expressed memorably and phrased with careful thought as to how the narrative speaks to, connects with, and motivates the audience. For me that emotional connection is the most important part of visual storytelling.

Discovery Air, a specialty aviation services company operating across Canada and in select locations internationally, has announced it has entered into an agreement to complete a private placement of an aggregate of C$70,000,000 principal amount of secured convertible debentures. Net proceeds of the transaction will be used to repay existing debt. The Debentures will be issued to Clairvest Group Inc. and certain of its affiliates. Collectively known as Clairvest, it owns, directly and indirectly, 595,207 Common Shares of Discovery Air, representing less than 0.5% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding Common Shares. Upon closing of the Private Placement, and before giving effect to the Corporation's share consolidation plan, the Debentures will be convertible into 93,333,333 Class A common shares for an initial effective issue price of $0.75 per Common Share, subject to anti-dilution adjustment provisions. The 93,333,333 Common Shares represent 64.12% of the Corporation's currently issued and outstanding shares and, on a fully diluted and "as converted" basis, represent 32.33% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding shares. Clairvest acts at arm's length to the Corporation.
The Debentures will mature 5 ½ years from issuance, subject to earlier redemption rights in favour of the Corporation relating to certain milestone events by Discovery Air's Top Aces Inc. subsidiary. The Corporation may also redeem the debentures three years after issuance providing the Common Share weighted average trading price exceeds 116% of the then-applicable conversion price over an agreed trading period prior to issuance of the redemption notice. Interest on the Debentures will accrue at a rate of 10% per annum and will be payable annually commencing 12 months after closing on an "in kind" basis through the issuance of additional Debentures. The original conversion price of the Debentures, $0.75 per Common Share, will also increase at 10% per annum, and as a result, the original face amount of the Debentures plus all paid-in-kind interest will continue to be convertible into 93,333,333 Common Shares (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments).
Dave Jennings, president and CEO of Discovery Air, says: "We are very pleased with this financing and are excited to have the Clairvest team as financial partners going forward. While our cash flow and liquidity have been strong under our existing capital structure, the terms of this deal will greatly enhance our cash flow, allowing us to pursue the aggressive growth we're targeting in the short and medium term future. The in kind interest combined with the escalating conversion price make this convertible debt deal as close to an equity deal at appropriate prices as is reasonably practical in today's market. The terms allow us to eliminate many of the cumbersome financial and other restrictions in our legacy senior debt arrangements. This will give us significantly more flexibility to deploy assets and manage the business effectively. Clairvest's agreement to subordinate its security position in favour of new senior debt is important in positioning us to raise funding as required for future projects that support our growth strategy. And finally, the addition of Clairvest's nominees will bring additional depth to the Corporation's already-strong Board of Directors. Closing of this transaction will complete the capital structure overhaul we began early in 2011, and will position Discovery Air to both better support our existing customers and to target aggressive growth in new markets."

This week's scripture is from Deuteronomy:
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." (Deut. 6:5)
We know that God's love is perfect, for God is love, and we know that our love is not perfect and we often struggle to love, especially that which is not lovely. We even struggle at times to love God with all our being for to bring our all to bear often seems beyond our ability.
Yet the Lord does not hold this against us, for He knows that we are but dust and that our days are like the flowers of the field, but He who first loved us calls us to Himself and bids us to love Him as Father and Lord. He is a patient and loving Father, and He wants us to love Him as He loves us, with all He is, and with all He has given us in Christ Jesus.
May the Lord bless you to love Him with all you are.

Seattle Libertarian Radio Show Hosts Release Political Space Opera Comic Book!
Federal Way WA, 98003.
Johnny "Rocket" Adams and Heather Nixon (from the Johnny Rocket Launch Pad, NWCZ Radio, and LibertyTalk.fm) have recently released the newest shift in culture with the Liberty Force comic book! It's an introduction to libertarianism without being too in your face. "We wanted to make a comic that highlights the fundamentals of libertarianism without being too pushy" says Johnny. "It's completely making our case, but the reader and the main characters are learning about it at the same time. It's supposed to make the reader aware of liberty, and the atrocities the state has been making over the years."
The story is set in space with a fictional entity called "The State". The characters in the story start off as the ignorant bad guys and realize through a short history lesson, that the acts of their government are immoral. So the characters eventually embrace The Liberty Force, and turn against the very entity they swore to protect. It has action, drama, and of course humor that will send you on a story of what freedom and liberty are really about. For more information check out www.LibertyForceComic.com, and make sure you pick up your copy!

More Koreans Pin Job Hopes on Plastic Surgery
Interesting but all to predictable article here from Chosun.
Do credentials and hard work count for anything here? Foreign job applicants for teaching jobs in Korea know that appearance does matter when applying for a job as photos are required along with a resume. This post gives some tips on how NOT to take a photo for a job submission.
I mentioned somewhere that a photo is required for Korean job seekers as well. If you ever look at a couple of Korean resumes, you'll see that that they all look the same and they have a spot on the top right for a typically bland photo.
Unfortunately, as evil recruiters who work for the school, we too must take into consideration an applicant's appearance. Again, not saying that you have to have supermodel looks. Even if you don't fit 'society' mold' of a good-looking person, you can always make yourself marketable with a nice looking pic.
The below rings somewhat true:
Preferences for a facial contour differs according to the kind of they look for. Aspiring flight attendants or TV presenters prefer a small, oval face, while those applying jobs in banking or teaching want a face that gives a sense of softness and decency.
If you're looking for an applicant for a job that requires face-to-face customer service then yes, appearance is important. Teaching however, is kind of tricky. You definitely want someone who looks friendly and outgoing but sometimes schools ask for too much. How about experience and good references? Does that count for anything these days?
3 Responses
Good looks, even artificial ones, seem to be just one more credential in the overly competitive culture of Korea. If everyone has the same degree, professional references, comparable experience and TOEIC scores, what's left? It shouldn't be condoned and it's certainly tragic, but it isn't so difficult to understand.
[…] or teaches in Korea knows that race (and appearance) plays a big role in the hiring process of any job in Korea, not just English instructors. I honestly thought it was getting better over the past couple of […]

When "The Killing" set off on its somber course in April 2011, viewers didn't expect to wade through two seasons of Seattle murk to answer "Who killed Rosie Larsen?" Soon critical acclaim and a loyal fan base dissolved into outrage and dwindling viewership, as the first season ended with a cliffhanger not resolved until the final moments of the second. That's when "The Killing" was pronounced dead. But the patient still had a pulse.
Rescued from cancellation, "The Killing," in this third installment, overflows with suspects, bloodshed and dead ends as Detectives Linden (Mireille Enos) and Holder (Joel Kinnaman) race to find out who's killing young prostitutes, and why these slayings have the hallmarks of the murder for which the presumed psychopath Ray Seward (Peter Sarsgaard) is awaiting execution. In the penultimate episode, Sunday night at 9 on AMC, a battered Linden sits down with Seward in his final hours to parse the shreds of new evidence. But can she solve the case, the one that landed her in a psych ward before the series began, in time to save his life?

The Fight is On
We all have a tendency to fight ourselves right out of opportunity, achievement, and fulfillment. We become transfixed with the idea that who we really are is not at all who we should be, and that person starts to repulse us. We think that person is lackluster, boring, awkward, and weird. We start to wonder how anyone would like them for who they are, or what anyone could possibly see in them, or how there's any way they could achieve success.
So we adjust, we reformat, and we cover up the person we think is dragging us down. We start to model ourselves in the image of someone else, and begin to slowly fabricate a façade. We find ourselves suddenly sacrificing our values, devaluing relationships, and losing our identity to a passionless rat race. All of this in an attempt to give life to this new person we have created out of a place of insecurity, only to find it was actually nothing we ever wanted.
We are all comprised of two people; who we are, and who we pretend to be. The fight between the two will rage on forever, unless you are willing to see that you will only start moving forward when you are willing to fight harder for who you are, than who you aren't. You may not be where you want, you may not have developed the skills you need yet, you may want to kick some bad habits; but the core of who you are, that place where your passions burn, your values are conceived, and your very being live, that place doesn't need change…that place needs power. So fight for its life, so you can truly start to live yours. – CPT Ryan

A charge of DUI first offense is a serious matter that can quickly make life complicated.
If convicted for driving under the influence, you face the possibility of a suspended driver's license, a fine, and even jail time. It's also common for the judge to require you attend a drug and alcohol treatment program, significantly increasing the financial strain of a DUI. However, depending on the specifics of your case, it may be possible to have your sentence reduced or even get your DUI charge thrown out.
Attorney David Tarr has defended numerous clients facing all levels of DUI charges, including DUI first offense. If you've been charged with a DUI first offense, call our office. We'll take time to discuss your case with you and help you determine your next steps.
Analysis of your potential defenses
We automatically review your DUI arrest for issues such as:
- whether the arresting officer had reasonable suspicion to pull you over;
- whether the arresting office properly administered the field sobriety test;
- whether the Breath Alcohol Concentration test is potentially inaccurate.
We take great care in reviewing these issues to determine if there are grounds to dismiss the charges against you.
Non-criminal Consequences for a First Time DUI Conviction
Aside from the criminal DUI penalties you face, there are other consequences that may affect you as well. Insurance companies regularly gather information on DUI arrests and convictions. As a result, your insurance costs will likely increase substantially. You will also have a criminal record, which could affect your employment opportunities or your current job if your employer has a zero-tolerance policy regarding criminal convictions. Additionally, you will face numerous administrative penalties with regard to your driving privileges
Focused Legal Advocacy for College Students and Their Parents
If you are a college student and you are convicted of a first time DUI, you could face expulsion from school and the loss of any federally funded grants or loans. Don't allow one mistake to hurt your future. Whether you are a student or the parent of a student, I am here to help you through this process and fight to keep this DUI charge off your record.
SR-22 Auto Insurance and DUI Convictions
In the state of South Carolina, if you are convicted of drunk driving you will be required to purchase and carry SR-22 insurance for a period of three years. Since it insures high-risk drivers that are typically unable to purchase auto insurance, premiums for SR-22 insurance are more expensive.
If you've been charged with DUI First Offense, we can help
If you've been arrested on a first time DUI charge, contact the Law Office of David B. Tarr online or call 803-238-7967 today to schedule your free initial consultation.

For Sale
Pricing: Ranges from $549,900 for a two-bedroom, two-bath unit to $875,000 for a three-bedroom, two-bath penthouse. Price for the model featured here: $630,000
Style: Condo
Year built: 2017
Square feet: 1,247
Bedrooms: 2
Baths: 2 full
Condo fee: $336 (estimated)
Taxes: $8,297 (estimated)
If some of Boston's neighborhoods have become forests of construction cranes, Quincy Center is now a copse of them as the city rejuvenates its once-slumbering downtown with the construction of condos like Cliveden Place.
This will be a two-building condo development. The first is up and running, with 28 units now online. The model I toured, the Hancock, is on the fourth floor and features two bedrooms along with three-zone heating and air conditioning.
Built by Galvcon Development, a Quincy company celebrating its 25th anniversary, each condo is designed to be stand-alone. The floors and ceilings are soundproofed, and there are two walls between each unit buffered by insulation, meaning the walls don't touch. Each unit is individually metered for electricity and has its own hot water heater.
The door to the model opens into the space shared by the kitchen and dining and living areas — and a set of double-insulated floor-to-ceiling windows that showers the room with natural light.
A few steps in and to the left is the kitchen, which has white cabinets and stainless-steel appliances, including a five-burner gas stove and a refrigerator with three doors. The sink is stainless steel, the counters are white quartz, and the backsplash is glass tile of various gray hues. A white-quartz breakfast counter with seating for four completes the space.
Adjacent to the kitchen are the dining and living areas. Together they account for 264 square feet of space, offering enough room for a table for four. There is recessed lighting throughout the unit, and the flooring is engineered hardwood.
From the living and dining area, a short hallway separates the 154-square-foot guest bedroom from the full bath. There are two closets in the hallway, one for linen and the other for the washer and dryer connection. The main bath features a floating single vanity with a quartz countertop, a porcelain under-mount sink, and lighting underneath; a seamless glass-enclosed shower; and ceramic-tile flooring.
The master offers a walk-in closet and a full bath with a double vanity (with quartz countertop, porcelain under-mount sinks, and lighting underneath), a bathtub, a separate seamless glass-enclosed shower, and a ceramic-tile floor with radiant heat.
Cliveden Place is surrounded by restaurants, established and new, and is less than a 10-minute walk to the T's Quincy Center Red Line/commuter rail station. The complex also offers bicycle storage.
A sister building with 28 units is under construction. In all, the development will have 56 residential condos (with two or three bedrooms), two commercial condos, and garage parking.
For more information, go to www.clivedenplace.com or call 617-770-9131 and ask for Janet Batson (email@example.com)

Switzerland—the new Blockchain Capital?
The economic minister of Switzerland, Johann Niklaus Schneider-Ammann, has laid out plans which would help cryptocurrency startups in Switzerland to get off the ground and would eventually make the country the "Blockchain Capital of the World."
Switzerland has a history of sketchy banking which it is now planning to leave behind. For quite a long while, people wanting to store large amounts of wealth have chosen to store it in Swiss banks since the banking system in Switzerland has been open to such individuals or companies. Now, however, the country is investigating emerging financial markets and many startups in major cities in Switzerland are now planning to be crypto-financial centers later.
One of the Big Four auditors, PwC, said that four of the top ten ICOs in 2017 had been based in Switzerland. Some lawmakers are aiming to use the strong banking system, high education rate, and the low taxes that the country has to make it the "Silicon Valley" of cryptocurrencies.
At the heart of the Swiss crypto-expansion is the town of Zug, a community of 120,000 individuals. The low corporate tax rate of the town—14.6 percent—has been quite a lure for a few startups. This resulted in the town's growth and a reduced unemployment rate. Zug is also the first town to install Bitcoin ATMs town and the place Ethereum was incorporated.
These crypto-projects have helped the country evade some of the losses their banking sector has made in the last few years. They have lost 20% of the banking institutions in the country in last decade. We have talked about Switzerland's situation in the blockchain industry and its plans for the future in a previous post of ours.

Jim Ross says no to bringing John Cena back to WWE early
The latest word around the rumor mill is that big names like John Cena will be brought in to help the WWE in their current dilemma, caused by Seth Rollins being out of action due to tearing his ACL, MCL, and a medial meniscus in his knee. But Jim Ross doesn't want that to happen at all.
Speaking on his blog, the WWE Hall of Famer reflected on the unfortunate situation the WWE are in due to Rollins tearing his ACL, MCL, and a medial meniscus in his knee during a WWE Live Event in Dublin, Ireland on Wednesday night.
Recent rumors have suggested Cena could be brought back to help the WWE through this troublesome time, but Ross doesn't want to see this happen as he thinks other superstars on the roster should be given the spot in order to flourish.
Want to become a GMS writer? Sign up now and submit a 250-word test article: http://gms.to/haveyoursay4
He said: "Finally, the last thing that I would do is to put John Cena right back in the mix. John deserves some time off, and WWE deserves to put some of their other talents in line to grow and to become main eventers.
"This entire situation is one of fate and now it's up to WWE to reshuffle the deck and hopefully come out of it with a winning hand where more than one talent is advanced."
In case you didn't know, Cena is currently taking time off and a well-deserved break from the WWE for personal reasons. He isn't going to be in the WWE forever, so it is about time the company starts to prepare more thoroughly for this eventuality.
Rollins' injury has opened the door now for even more superstars to be given a shot at the spot, and the Survivor Series tournament can even provide a window of opportunity for some.
Future main roster stars, like Finn Balor or Samoa Joe, should be given the opportunity and possibly even go far in this Survivor Series tournament, it will be good exposure for them to become familiar with members of the WWE Universe that haven't seen them before.
Avoiding reverting back to the old ways of Cena during this time in need will be the best thing the WWE can do. This situation can grow their roster up towards being more advanced and main event ready, providing better programming, and that in turn can only mean good things for the WWE and the WWE Universe in the future.

Last week we looked at some rarely used, quasi-unique girls' names, unearthing such surprising rarities as Amabel, Rosamund and Rosamond, and Eleanora. Today, as promised, we do the same for the boys, presenting a dozen names each that were given to only nine, eight, seven, six or five girls across the country in 2016.
This time around, the choices might not have as much of an unexpected impact, but they are all substantial and usable choices that would definitely make your son stand out.
Given to only 9 boys last year
Given to only 8 boys last year
Given to only 7 boys last year
Given to only 6 boys last year
Given to only 5 boys last year
Which name would you choose from each group?

People generally take for granted that when they need directions or location information, they can whip out their mobile devices and the Global Positioning System (GPS) will simply just work. But GPS is actually a complex system that relies upon a large number of satellites circling the globe in precise orbits, working together to provide position, navigation, and timing data to users anywhere on Earth. Such a system of satellites is called a constellation, and experts at Aerospace strive to ensure that satellite constellations like GPS continue to remain operational and provide optimal performance for their users.
Statisticians and mathematicians in Aerospace's Reliability and Statistics Department develop and maintain mathematical models to predict satellite lifetimes, estimate the probability of a successful launch to orbit, and perform probabilistic risk assessments. They developed an innovative technique called Constellation Risk Assessment (CRA) to bring together these models with tools developed by Aerospace performance analysis experts to provide projections of how long and how well a constellation's capabilities will work, decades into the future.
The below animation illustrates why there is no loss in GPS satellite service even when an old satellite stops working. Due to constellation risk assessment, scientists know when to send up a new satellite to take the place of the old one.
Constellation Risk Animation
Constellation Risk Assessment Predicts How Systems of Satellites Perform
As the operator of a federally funded research and development center, Aerospace also performs independent risk and reliability assessments for space products and systems procured by the federal government. Aerospace is uniquely positioned to bring together the data needed to evaluate the interactions of constellations that have worked for decades with hardware purchased from a wide range of commercial contractors.
CRA also helps agencies that deploy satellite constellations, such as the U.S. Air Force and NASA, determine when they need to develop, procure, and launch new satellites to ensure their constellations remain operational. It measures the potential impact on satellite operations when issues arise that threaten reliability or performance. For example, when a parts issue threatened the readiness of a soon-to-launch satellite, CRA demonstrated that when examined from a constellation-level perspective, the projected impact on the satellite performance was tolerable, allowing the mission to continue and avoid a multi-million dollar fix and years of delay.
Space is a complicated and expensive business, so it is important when launching a satellite to get it right the first time – since once satellite parts fail on orbit, they can't be replaced. At every step in the process, engineers, scientists, and program managers at Aerospace identify, study, and develop plans to manage a multitude of risks to ensure constellation success.
GAP Software Predicts When New Satellites Are Needed
Constellation risk assessment builds upon a 50-year legacy of Aerospace leading the way in ensuring satellite constellation success. In 1968, a group of engineers at Aerospace first conceived of a tool that would use satellite reliability assessments to predict when new satellites were needed to maintain a healthy constellation. By 1981, this concept had been developed into a software tool called the Generalized Availability Program (GAP). GAP has become the industry standard tool to plan for the replenishment of satellite constellations, and is exclusively used by Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) for replenishment analysis of constellations under its purview.
GAPP: The Next Gen
Aerospace experts are now hard at work developing the next generation of software that will carry on the GAP legacy on a modernized platform and support the advanced analysis techniques needed for CRA. Called Generalized Availability and Performance Program (GAPP), this updated software is part of Aerospace's ongoing effort to provide its customers with the most accurate and complete information possible for making constellation management decisions that will shape the future of the space enterprise.
"Constellation Risk Assessment is a capability unique to Aerospace," says Michael Moore, associate director of the Reliability and Statistics Department, a part of Aerospace's engineering and technology group. Moore further explains, "It draws upon expertise in a diverse array of fields including electronic parts, power systems, launch vehicle and satellite reliability, and performance analysis — custom-tailored to each satellite constellation we support. This technology is made possible by the unmatched depth and breadth of space systems expertise that we have here at Aerospace."

About the Book
Most of Us Are Here Against Our Will is a strikingly accomplished debut story collection about love, loss, sex, and survival in the hard heart of Texas. In Jaguar, a young woman recently back from a stint in the Peace Corps believes that she's the cause of the breast cancer that led to her sister's double mastectomy. A wife and mother, mourning the loss of her son by burning the boxes that contained his life, must also come to terms with a visit from her son's lover and her husband's infidelity in Things You Can Expect From Your Loved Ones. In Quite Cold In Alaska, a promising road trip up the California coast turns into a meditation on familial expectation and disappointment when the addled matriarch goes missing. And in the eponymous title story, Most Of Us Are Here Against Our Will, which won an award in The Atlantic Monthly, an hysterical young man, unable to move past a torturous family secret, finds help and solace in a therapy group full of others just like him.
Peopled with reluctant porn stars and directors, failing actors, a misguided cheerleader, a murderous, vengeful writer, and many others, these nine stories are, according to Bret Easton Ellis, "direct, emotional, and compulsively readable." Mary Gaitskill, of Don't Cry and Veronica, has said that "they are about an engaging variety of nuts and sluts, and you actually read them wondering what is going to happen next. Levinson's talent is as big as the state about which he's writing. I'm a big fan." And Edmund White, of A Boy's Own Story, has called Levinson's world "acetylene hot...There's something as raw and frightening and egotistical in these men and women as in Homeric heroes. Read them and love them as much as I do."

Frontiers [Release Date 24.03.17]
He may be the most prolific, in demand writer and producer on the melodic rock scene, but no-one could accuse Erik Martensson of neglecting his day job as lead singer and guitarist with Eclipse. Two years after the excellent 'Armageddonize' the Swedes are back with another album, bearing another neologism for an album title.
While pigeonholed in the melodic rock bracket, each album has seen Eclipse pushing at the heavier boundaries of the genre, and 'Vertigo' kicks things off with a riff that sounds as if it should be accompanying the dulcet tones of Tommy Vance as he counted down the chart on the Friday Rock Show.
Yet the overall impression of this album is that they have taken a step away from the fast and furious pace that characterised their last two albums, complete with double kick drumming, for a no less rockier but more mainstream sound, almost taking them back to the vibe of 2008's breakthrough 'Are You Ready to Rock'.
Bringing things more up to date, 'Never Look Back' has a gargantuan chorus comparable to contemporaries HEAT and both that and 'Killing Me' have the combination of big choruses and modern beats shared by the likes of Sixx AM and even Shinedown.
'Downfall of Eden' would appeal to fans of European power metal and also has the celtic, 80's Gary Moore-esque feel witnessed on previous songs like 'Battlegrounds', while the frenetic album pace is only relaxed once with the semi-ballad 'Hurt'.
With keyboards kept to a minimum, the Eclipse sound is distinctively guitar heavy and Magnus Henriksson's work is exemplary throughout, whether with his licks cutting through to reinforce the vocal melody on 'Jaded', the big riff on 'Born to Lead' or his solos on 'For Better or For Worse'.
It makes a winning combination with Erik's way with hook filled choruses, as illustrated on 'Night Comes Crawling' which reminded me of their fellow countrymen Europe and Treat who blazed the trail for this musical style.
Yet at other times Eclipse take a retro step towards the traditional heavy rock we grew up on- 'No Way Back' fuses a strong, melodic chorus to a metallic riff that could have come out of Ozzy Osbourne's 'Bark at the Moon' album, and this direction is more fully explored on album closer 'Black Rain' where a slow intro gives way to a Rainbow Rising style riff, topped off with a rapid fire, almost neo-classical, solo from Markus.
In the classic tradition yet sounding fresh and vigorous, Eclipse have if anything raised the bar even higher from their previous trio of top class albums. If there is any justice, this album will help them break out of their relatively small, cult market and give them the 'big mo' implied by its title. *****
