Earlier this week, we celebrated the life of the remarkable Martin Luther King Jr. This man was at the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement. He was an influential mind, deep heart, and leading lifestyle. Martin Luther King Jr. spent his life fighting for equality for the discriminated minority communities.
Schools and restaurants were separated. Seats were assigned on buses. Communities were divided.
Dr. King lead the charge for the progression of equality among the black community. So much changed. But we aren't all the way there. We still have work to do. Sure, it's easier when they live lifestyles similarly to you. When their culture reflects principles of yours, its easier to see them as 'neighbors.' Our challenge comes in with those we don't yet know, whose cultures are different than ours, who are from different schools, cities, states, or nations. How do we as Christians impact this necessary change?
Most of you that will read this partake in the news with by T.V. or through social media. There is still a race problem, among our nation, towns, schools, and churches. Discrimination and prejudice are often grown into individuals lives growing up. Groups are "taught" that some groups or individuals automatically supersede others. I versus you mentality or us versus them mentality fuel racism. But Dr. King gave us a prescription to our illness:
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
What does he mean? Something eerily similar to what John tells us in 1 John?
"Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble."
1 John 2:9-10
When your room is dark, you turn the lights on to see where to go. If you don't, you scoot your feet across the ground with your hands out until you stub your toe on your bed. "That makes no sense, dude." Hear me out. If you live a life in darkness (blinded by hate) you have no light to see where to go. Our hate causes us to miss the truth that all are created in God's image. Each person is a creation of the almighty, each needing grace, but loved by Him.
Christ came to die for all people; red, yellow, black, white. Jesus loves His Father's creation.
Dr. King was an example of the love Christ taught and lived. He was an example of fighting for justice for what is right. He provided a small light into a world of darkness. His light grew as the movement for equality among American people. His light grew into the hearts and minds of those who sensed something wrong in the world.
Jesus tells us the greatest commandment is to love God with our entire being. The second commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself. Love your neighbor, no matter if they're white or black, native or refugee, Christian or Muslim. When you love God, you are filled with love for those around you.
Racism isn't an easy topic to discuss. This one term brings a lot of debate, hurt, and confusion. Racism is a real-life problem. It affects lives of children, parents, pastors, teachers, doctors and athletes daily. Do you care for your oppressed brothers and sisters? What are you doing to help light break through the darkness? How is your love driving out darkness? Or are you sitting idly by, denying there's anything to fix?
Whoever you are, wherever you are, you are in need of the grace and love Jesus has to offer.
New hate will not drive out recurring hate. Only loves demolishes hatred.
Love Jesus. Love your neighbor. Fight the good fight.

Made In Chelsea's Spencer Matthews has made his first New Year's resolution. Brace yourselves for a giggle, people…
SW3's naughtiest lothario has vowed to stop being a love rat in 2014. LOL.
According to The Sun, the 25-year-old hotel heir who is famed for bedding and then ditching poor unsuspecting females including exes Lucy Watson, Louise Thompson and Stephanie Pratt is determined to quit his philandering ways in the new year.
Telling the tabloid that his one resolution is to 'stop cheating', Jamie Laing's other half must be really up for a challenge with his optimistic new promise.
And it sounds llike Mr Matthews' BFFs have just about as much faith in the promiscous party boi as we do. 'Good luck', co-star Oliver Proudlock added after Spencer's revelation.
Latest Stories
It's a tall order considering Spenny's only extra-curricular activities involve partying with Victoria's Secret models, winding up his exes and generally behaving a bit like a 16-year-old.
But hey, we're right behind you fella! *Snigger*.

text: Fortunately there are many platforms of social media which can be used. I believe depending on the business then a different platform needs to be used to have the best chance of success. For a more professional company then LinkedIn would be a good choice. Whereas for a younger audience that may be a fashion company then the best route would be Twitter, Facebook or Instagram as it is very popular with the younger audience and photos can get shared around. Social Media is a great way to increase sales as sometimes it can be free and is very simple to use and to get your name out there. Below are some different platforms of social media and the tools that can be used.

My life is my own again. For a week I have been surrogate mom to my four year old great nephew. It has been wonderful and exhausting!! We had a great time and spent a lot of time talking and learning. My sleep habits are vastly different than a four year old boy. We survived without any incidents but WOW the energy the he has. He loves to play with super heroes. The action figures, the vehicles of transportation and their weaponry. It was great pretending.

Message From The ASQ Quality Management Division Chair
ASQ Transformation
The first bump in the road came in the form of ASQ transformation that coincided with my first day as chair in January 2018. While our team was aware there was a need for significant structural changes to ensure ASQ remained relevant to future generations of professionals, we really didn't know what changes were being proposed and how they would affect the operation of our division.
A considerable amount of our time in early 2018 was spent trying to understand how the transformation of ASQ would affect our members and developing our positions on various aspects of the proposed changes. Our leadership team made a conscious decision to work with the Technical Communities Council (TCC) and the ASQ board of directors to ensure the proposed changes were successful. It turned out much of our 2018 business plan was already aligned with many of the ASQ transformational goals.
Content Management Committees
The QMD Leadership Team came to the realization that we could do a better job scoping and delivering our content offerings. ASQ has put in a considerable amount of effort defining the overall Quality Body of Knowledge (QBoK) and how each ASQ Technical Community (Division) can contribute. We needed to get with the program.
Scoping the Quality Management Division's contribution to QBoK was relatively easy since we already sponsored the professional designation of Certified Manager of Quality/ Organizational Excellence (CMQ/OE). The body of knowledge for this exam is based on an extensive job analysis survey of quality management/ organizational excellence professionals across the United States and Canada. Groups of practicing quality management thought leaders further refine the job analysis survey data in a series of exam development workshops. There have been thousands of quality management professionals contributing to the CMQ/OE body of knowledge since the exam's inception in 1993.
Using the CMQ/OE body of knowledge as our guide we set out to form Content Management Committees around each of the 7 defined topic areas.
I. Leadership
II. Strategic Plan Development and Deployment
III. Management Elements and Methods
IV. Quality Management Tools
V. Customer Focused Organizations
VI. Supply Chain Management
VII. Training and Development
We then recruited teams of volunteer thought leaders around each of the topic areas to collect, solicit, develop, and curate content for distribution to our members. We are still in the early stages with these teams, but we have a good foundation and some exceptional leaders to work with. These committees work closely with our Ebased Initiatives, Publications, Education, and Conference teams to find innovative ways to deliver quality management knowledge to our members.
SharePoint Collaboration
The QMD leadership team also recognized a need for better communication and coordination of actions to fulfill our business plans. Much of our business was conducted through emails and most of our records and documents resided on member leaders' personal computer systems. There were times when it was difficult or even impossible to share needed information between our member leaders.
ASQ began offering Microsoft 365 with a new SharePoint platform to all technical communities in mid-2017. The Quality Management Division began building out our SharePoint site in late 2017 and began using it for various governance documents and records in 2018. While there have been a few struggles with access to the site since launch, we now have a central place to store and access our documents and governance data within the ASQ network domain. It has led to a marked improvement in our leadership team's ability to share information.
One of our most pressing needs going into 2018 was the Quality Management Division web presence. Our website was running on an outdated content management platform, was extremely difficult to maintain, utilized no discernable content management strategy, and was not integrated with other ASQ websites. Our website was on its last leg and we needed a plan.
Sometimes timing is everything. ASQ announced the launch of MyASQ, their new member unit online community platform, in late 2017. QMD asked (demanded) to be one of the first ASQ technical communities to come online. The go live date in May 2018 was just days before the contract with our web service provider expired. The switch was relatively painless, and we now have a stable platform with many features our previous vendor could not provide. We no longer have a need for a traditional "webmaster" to manage content and negotiate contracts. That is taken care of by ASQ staff at headquarters.
Along with the places for news, events, and discussions… the QMD community on MyASQ has a more strategic approach to content management utilizing resources arranged by BoK topic areas and managed by the thought leaders on our content management committees mentioned above. Our members can now take advantage of other ASQ technical comminutes from the same platform. This all makes for a more universal, intuitive, customizable, and interactive user experience for our members.
Web Conferences for Monthly Meetings and Webinars
In addition to the adoption of the SharePoint site for coordinating our leadership team efforts, the Quality Management Division began taking advantage of web conferencing provided by ASQ. Instead of just a monthly conference call, we now hold a monthly WebEx conference where we can and update progress towards our objectives, review finances, and analyze membership trends real-time during the meeting. This has significantly increased the effectiveness of our monthly leadership team meetings.
We also began using the WebEx tool for free educational webinars hosted by our Education Subcommittee. It has been a great relief not having to worry about contracts and the administration tasks associated with a separate webinar platform. We can focus on delivering content to our members.
MyASQ Finance (Bill Highway)
Tracking finances against budget and approving spending have always been time consuming tasks. When we were made aware of the possibility of a web-based tool to help with some of the administrative burden of managing our finances we jumped on it.
QMD launched the MyASQ Finance tool in January of 2019. While there are still some issues to work out, the staff at ASQ headquarters is listening to our concerns and working with us to make improvements. Overall, it is much easier to understand spending trends against budget.
CMQ/OE Handbook (5th Edition)
The Body of Knowledge for the Certified Manager of Quality/ Organization Excellence (CMQ/OE) exam underwent its scheduled update in 2018. That meant the CMQ/OE Handbook needed to be revised to match the revised exam BoK. The CMQ/OE Handbook is considered a "must have" reference for those that sit for the exam.
I have avoided naming names thus far in this message because I don't want to risk leaving someone out. However, the work that Doug Wood and Sandy Furterer's team has done on this book deserves some special recognition. With the passing of Russ Westcott, they had some pretty big shoes to fill.
Doug and Sandy tapped many of the Content Management Committee team members and other thought leaders outside QMD to contribute. The revisions to this book were more than just a refresh to the revised BoK, but their team spent a great deal of time with additional rhetorical edits and updates to the examples and illustrations in the book to make it more relevant and easier to read. Our hope is that the 5th Edition of the CMQ/OE Handbook will be made available on ASQ Quality Press in early 2020.
Doug also led a team to rework the CMQ/OE refresher course material so that it more closely aligns with the handbook. Some of the same Content Management Committee members used on the handbook edits also helped with updates to the CMQ/OE prep course.
A Word About Students and Young Professionals
Supporting and understanding the needs of the next generation of quality professionals has been a passion of the entire QMD leadership team. It has been an area where we have tried to make a meaningful lasting contribution, but it may also be an area where we bit off more than we can chew. We just don't have the resources to make a difference outside of select localized areas. I think other divisions have experienced the same thing. More bandwidth is needed, and it needs to be applied throughout ASQ. The opportunity to engage students and young professionals is bigger than one division.
The Quality Management Division of ASQ supports a universal approach to attracting and retaining students and young professionals. While we have had successes under Stephanie Thompson's leadership, there is so much more we can be doing as a society to engage the next generation of quality professionals.
Looking Ahead
Our business plan for next year includes continuing to build on the gains we have made in the past few years as well as addressing some other items of concern. We need to do a better job of recognizing our volunteers. We need to consider adopting an organizational excellence model for our governance, so we are practicing what we preach. We need to listen to our members to better understand what you value and how to engage.
I'm exhausted. Two years is a long time. However, it has been an honor to serve the members of the Quality Management Division. We have a great leadership team. They made it easy most of the time and their support has helped me grow as a leader. My hope is something is left behind for the next leadership team to build upon. It's now in the very capable hands of Peggy Milz, Denis Devos, and much of the same great leadership team… and I'll still be around to help where needed. Thank you all for your support.
Best Regards,
Jerry Rice
Chair (soon to be Past Chair)
ASQ Quality Management Division

Apple answers some questions about their customer letter
Apple released a follow-up response to CEO Tim Cook's open letter to customers this week. This release seeks to clarify Apple's intentions behind their rationale for object the U.S. government's request (via the FBI) to unlock the phone used by one of the shooters in San Bernadino last December.
Specifically, the government is asking Apple to:
"The government asked a court to order Apple to create a unique version of iOS that would bypass security protections on the iPhone Lock screen. It would also add a completely new capability so that passcode tries could be entered electronically."
Apple objected to the order due to what it calls "two important and dangerous implications."
"First, the government would have us write an entirely new operating system for their use. They are asking Apple to remove security features and add a new ability to the operating system to attack iPhone encryption, allowing a passcode to be input electronically. This would make it easier to unlock an iPhone by "brute force," trying thousands or millions of combinations with the speed of a modern computer."
"Second, the order would set a legal precedent that would expand the powers of the government and we simply don't know where that would lead us. Should the government be allowed to order us to create other capabilities for surveillance purposes, such as recording conversations or location tracking? This would set a very dangerous precedent."
For more information and for a list of the other questions addressed in the press release, check out this link from Apple.

Alliance Global Records PhP5.3B Net Income in 1Q 2016
Manila—(PHStocks)—Alliance Global Group Inc. (PSE: AGI) posted a net income of PhP5.3 billion in the first three months of this year, about 5% lower from its level a year ago, as consolidated revenues were generally steady at PhP33.1 billion.
"We executed well in the first quarter despite the heavy external headwinds and the initial uncertainty leading to the May elections," said Kingson U. Sian, president and chief operating officer, AGI.
The investment holding company of tycoon Andrew Tan, AGI, leveraged on the underlying strength of its subsidiaries, such that "when election spending, sharp decline in oil prices, and government expenditures pushed up domestic demand in the first quarter, our subsidiaries were able to maintain their respective industry footing," says Sian.
Megaworld Corp. (PSE: MEG), AGI's flagship property company and the country's largest developer of integrated urban townships, delivered a 12% year-on-year increase in earnings to PhP2.63 billion. Consolidated revenues, which include the contribution from its subsidiary brands Global-Estate Resorts Inc. (PSE: GERI), Empire East Land Holdings, Inc. and Suntrust Properties, Inc., amounted to PhP11.5 billion, up 9% from PhP10.5 billion a year ago.
This was supported by the robust 15% growth in rental income to PhP2.3 billion as the company maintains its position as the country's biggest lessor of office spaces with its ongoing expansion program. Residential sales continued to grow in the first three months of the year, rising 10% year-on-year to PhP6.86 billion backed by its 20 integrated townships throughout the country and a total landbank of around 4,000 hectares across the Philippines.
Emperador Inc. (PSE: EMP)continued its transformation into becoming a world-class liquor company as it took over the 286-year old Bodegas Fundador from Beam Suntory in February, making it the largest brandy company in the world.
This followed Emperador's acquisition in 2014 of Scotch whisky company, Whyte and Mackay, expanding its portfolio to include single malt whiskey brands, notably The Dalmore and Jura.
Emperador reported a net profit of PhP1.4 billion in the first quarter, coming on back of nearly PhP9 billion in consolidated revenues. Domestic sales grew 19% as the company maintained its brandy dominance in the local liquor market. Moving forward, Emperador intends to capitalize on premiumization opportunities in the Philippine market with its broad spectrum of products ranging from standard to ultra-premium offerings.
Travellers International Hotel Group Inc. (TIHGI, PSE: RWM) posted a net profit of PhP1.2 billion in the first three months of 2016 as the company continues to focus on achieving quality of earnings by building on the non-VIP segment and expanding its non-gaming business. Gross revenues stood at PhP6.6 billion and EBITDA at PhP1.4 billion.
Gross gaming revenues amounted to PhP5.6 billion, led by the mass segment which saw an improvement in drops. Meanwhile, revenues from its hotel, F&B and other operations, grew 26% to PhP982 million, partly on account of the contribution from the Marriott Grand Ballroom which was formally launched in June last year. Travellers International is the owner and operator of Resorts World Manila (RWM), which is the site of the massive Phase 2 and Phase 3 expansion in Newport City.
Golden Arches Development Corp. (GADC), which holds the exclusive franchise to operate restaurants in the Philippines under the McDonald's brand, reported a 19% increase in net income to PhP191 million, benefiting from election spending.
"We remain very positive on the AGI Group's prospects and we look forward to the planned initiatives of the new administration. We are a believer of the Philippine growth story and our businesses are very well positioned to participate in such growth," adds Sian.

A word about the cosmos…
Some folk say it's like one of those souvenir jars you can pick up by the ocean, all filled up with layers of coloured sand. This layer's icicle blue; this one's envy green; this one shimmers with the fool's gold of false promise. The layers are called branes, and they contain just about all the things you can imagine, along with plenty you can't. Stars and comets, rocks and trees, crystal deserts, electric gods, lost souls, forgotten trinkets, worlds broken and whole—they're all sandwiched inside that jar. There are lifetimes in there, and more besides.
Now look closer. Just like the branes make up the cosmos, there's something else makes up the branes. It's what ties everything together, the stuff that lies coiled at the heart of it all.
The trouble with string is that it's forever getting tangled. Turn your back for a second and it sprouts more knots than your grandma's knitting basket. Each knot is unique and each one warps the universe that surrounds it, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. Some knots wind themselves so tight that the dimensions get twisted completely out of true, all eleven of them. Others rear up like coral cathedrals only to collapse under the weight of their own impossibility. Big or small, that's the one thing these knots have in common—they never last.
Except one.
Nobody knows why this one knot lingers. Maybe it's bigger than the rest, or older, or stranger, or all three or neither. In this one special place the cosmic string tangles into more knot than you ever saw before in your life. It's more than a cathedral, more than a coral reef.
The folk who live there call it String City.

On Sunday morning, while Meghan rested at home, Australia's ABC reports that Prince Harry attended the 2018 Invictus Games in Sydney where he was asked by an athlete to sign his budgie smugglers (which we call a speedo in the U.S.). Unfortunately, given royal protocol surrounding signing items for fans, he had to politely decline.
Later that day, the Harry had another run-in with a speedo, thanks Invictus Games athletes who gifted the 34-year-old dad-to-be with a custom pair of his own that read "Team AUS Down Under" on the backside.
According to Us Weekly, Harry accepted the gift with a laugh saying, "Oh, look at those! It doesn't get better than that, does it? And this type of silk camouflage, I've actually never seen it. Only in Australia would you ever find something like this. It's so wrong, but it's wonderful."
But it didn't just end there. If you've ever wondered what Harry looks like in a tiny speedo, your prayers have been answered.
Being the good sport that he is, the royal made sure to slip the swimsuit on over his pants before posing for some pretty hilarious pictures.
We can't help but wonder what Meghan thinks of his new swimsuit ...

Newry is a hamlet near the south town line of Westerlo along Route 405.
In the early 1800's the hamlet of Newry was a thriving community that included a tannery, shoe-making shop, general store, two doctors, a Masonic lodge and many farms. The principal author of most of this enterprise was Daniel Miller, a New Jersey native who left his father's home following a quarrel with his fiancee. He also left with his father's servant who he married. The name Newry was given the area by an Irishman, a storekeeper named Burroughs, who celebrated his birthday by dispensing free rum to all corners. Burroughs later left the area returning to his home country.[1]

Wii Version of Super Meat Boy Cancelled
We knew the outlook for the Wii version of Super Meat Boy was looking grim, but now it's official: the game has been cancelled. Though not all Team Meat news for Nintendo has been bad.
The reason that the developing duo Team Meat cancelled the title was two fold: Super Meat Boy was thwarted as a WiiWare release due to Nintendo's strict size restrictions and determined to be not financially sound for a retail budget title release. However, Team Meat additionally announced that they have not given up on the Nintendo platform, as they have announced that they are now officially Nintendo 3DS developers, starting with a project that "may or may not have anything to do with Meat". While the thought of a portable Super Meat Boy sounds amazing, I'm personally more interested in seeing what else they can do.

The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, or any of the other giants—rather than the BFG—she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that the giants are flush-bunking off to England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!

The packaging of pills that promise to boost men's libido and sexual function in Pakistan feature President Barack Obama's face, according to a new report.
Agence France-Presse reports that the sale of contraband Viagra in Pakistan — where it is illegal — is booming in northern Pakistan and a Peshawar market is currently selling pills and gels with images of President Obama on the packages.
"People use it because these pills have several characteristics they help anyone who is unable to have sex they improve the duration for people who have destroyed their youth through masturbation. So people use it to improve their staying power to 30 minutes or one hour," Peshwar resident Ehsan Ullah told AFP.
AFP reports that the sale of these pills are "booming" in the conservative area, where they are smuggled from Afghanistan, and while some of the drugs are exact replicas of Viagra, others are unknown chemicals that can cause users harm, including paralysis, as some residents told the outlet.

They are the ones who are responsible for loading and unloading suitcases, luggage and other cargo such as airfreight, mails, and packages. The baggage handlers official formal title is "Fleet service Agent/Clerk or commonly position amongst airline employees as "ramp agents" named after the job's location on the airport ramp.
Yesterday, November 01 2018 where a baggage handler from American Airlines fell asleep inside the plane's cargo and gets flown straight to the airplanes next destination Chicago.
No one noticed the missing handler when the plane took off at 5:52 am and discovered after the plane landed on the next airport two hours later. The unnamed employee was drunk and fell asleep. Afterward, he was suspended.
The American Airlines spokesman said that the investigation is undergoing and followed "The American team is very concerned about this serious situation, and we are reviewing what transpired with our Piedmont and Kansas City colleagues". The 23-year-old agent was unharmed and didn't need any medical attention when the plane arrived in Chicago and closed that we are grateful that he did not sustain any injuries.
Cargo temperatures vary in our fleet. The Boeing 767 maintains its baggage hold above 7˚C, but the bulk area (where animals are carried) can be heated above 18˚C. "Controlled temperature cargo bins are also available when temperature-sensitive goods are being shipped."Luckily the cargo hold where he slept in the travel is pressurized and heated.

About the Ministry
Unlike church in America, most churches in Honduras do not have any type of children's or youth ministry. Although the idea is counter–cultural, CCH has invested time and resources into encouraging ongoing ministry that specifically targeted children and teenagers. The response was overwhelming; children quickly began to outnumber the adults in church.
But perhaps the greatest success story is about the youth group of the church in Las Lajas. After meeting for some time, the youth asked their leader to accompany them on a 'mission trip' into some of the poorer villages. Since then, many of the youth from Las Lajas volunteer with our mission to serve alongside the teams of American volunteers when we do VBS, deliver Christmas gifts, build churches, and work in the villages.
Where We've Served
Meet Ocomán
If you've been traveling to Honduras with us for a while now, you've watched dozens of children grow up in this village we all love so much. Ocomán is one the of closest villages to our home base in Las Lajas and plays a vital role in our ministry efforts.
Meet El Cerrón
El Cerrón is one of our most remote villages, located high in the mountains behind our medical clinic. Because of its location, El Cerrón has very limited access to outside supplies and provisions, making this one of the most malnourished and undeveloped villages we support.
Meet El Peñon
Tucked away in the mountains surrounding the community of Las Lajas, El Peñon is a small village of around 250 people. We've been working with and serving El Peñon for more than 20 years and have been blessed to see the work God has done in the village and in its people.
Our Other Ministries
Why Honduras?
Honduras is one of the poorest countries in Central America, with more than 60% of its population living on less than $3 per day. Beyond this, Honduras currently has the third highest crime rate in entire the world. Statistics aside, however, God has divinely placed our ministry in Honduras, and we feel blessed every day in our opportunity to serve such a loving people group.
Support the Mission
In a country where most citizens make less than $3 per day, the smallest donation can make a major difference. Whether you feel led to give once, monthly, or annually, we've made it quick and easy for you to support and share Christ's love with the people of Honduras.

Went to home depot and got some of the chemicals suggested. The first couple were taking white paint off too. Well shit. So I looked under the sink and put some 409 cleaner in a spray bottle we have. Meh, so I tried the bleach under there. Worked without removing white paint. I mean, it took some scrubbing, but most of it is off. I'll be needing to repaint in the spring for sure, at least it's not AS bad as it was.
I finished that last section of driveway after getting gas and beer. Then power washed doors of what's left, some of it came off, so what's left is soaking in the bleach I sprayed on, and we are going to eat lunch then see if the power washer will cut it after soaking in bleach.

South African Airways Adds Flights to Kigali, Bujumbura
Airlines & Airports South African Airways November 03, 2011
South African Airways (SAA) has added two more travel options to its African route network as part of the airline's growth plans on the continent. Starting Jan. 17, SAA will commence operations from Johannesburg to Kigali (Rwanda) and onwards to Bujumbura (Burundi). The return flights will operate from Bujumbura to Kigali and onwards to Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport. These flights are now available for reservations in the Global Distribution System (GDS), and via www.flysaa.com, the airline's online website.
The new Kigali and Bujumbura flights have been timed to provide global connections via the airline's Johannesburg hub and to SAA's international network, including Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, North America and Australia.
SAA's most recent addition to its African route network was the start of flights to Ndola, Zambia, on Oct. 2. The Ndola service is largely aligned to growth in demand from mining executives, especially those flying into South Africa from countries such as Australia. For more information, visit www.flysaa.com.

The greatest challenge in life is discovering who you are… The greatest is being happy with what you find.
For some it comes early on, others discover it later on in life and for the others it never happens. Knowing who you are seems easier said than done. There are so many tips out there on things that you can do to help you get there. You hear things like date yourself and you are left wondering what that entails. Considering we spend literally every second with ourselves its weird how if you pose the questions; what are you passionate about? Or what are your strengths and weaknesses? It takes a while to answer the questions and at times taking online tests to know our personality. Something that should be a no-brainer.
True happiness lies in doing the things that you are passionate about and that's why most people point out that money is just but an added benefit. The million dollar question in this case is how to discover who you are and what you are passionate about. It has taken me 25 years to get the answer and to some it might seem late especially when you hear about how Serena Williams started playing tennis at the age of three but then there is Well Colonel Harland Sanders who started K.F.C at 65 years so it's never too late.
Most of the time we don't pursue what we studied in school as a career reason being that at that point we were not encouraged to follow our passion or we didn't know what that was. I have always loved business and the truth is that I would have been happy in any business course but I specialized in procurement, logistics and warehousing and paired that with Accounts. Growing up I was one of those quiet well behaved kids and you would think that it is a good thing, right? The problem is you grow up playing safe and without a sense of adventure and exploration. So throughout school I concentrated on my studies and didn't bother to try and discover what else I was good at. The notion that you go to school and get a job was heavily ingrained in me.
Fast forward two years into employment I started getting bored and unhappy with my job. I am not sure if it applies to every job but Accounting can be really monotonous especially when you get the hang of it since you do the same thing over and over again. I started getting to work late as I didn't have that thing that would have made me so excited and want to jump out of bed. I became so obsessed with speaking engagements and events and books on finding your passion thinking that they would spark something and voila I would be able to get out of my rut.
I even stumbled upon a life coach whose office was in the same compound as our office. I had a few sessions with him which were at times so infuriating and didn't feel fruitful since I wanted a quick fix. He kept reminding me that that's not how it worked. But he nudged me in the right direction and taught me that the key to finding out who you are lies in yourself and not in other people. Friends and family can help in providing hints but you have to be willing to do the work.
The answer to the question how to find yourself is a trial and error thing. It lies in trying out new things and in the process you get to learn your likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses and it also brings out your character. Another tip would be taking a trip down memory lane as what you liked doing most when you were child reveals a lot about yourself and if you can't recall ask your parents or people you grew up with or around. The whole dating yourself thing makes sense to me now in that the same things should apply like spending time with yourself, trying out new things, treating yourself all those little things that you do when dating someone.
All in all having no clue as to who you are can be a trying and confusing time but taking the steps to discovering who you are is very rewarding as it brings you closer to your highest truest self. So if you are in that phase don't fret just know it's not an overnight thing, it takes time and courage to get out of your box and try out new things.

Please visit our sponsors and give them a BIG tiny house thank you!
Pacifica Tiny Homes
Pacifica Tiny Homes is a family business, that consists of skilled contractors and plumbers that have been in their respective professions for 15+ years.
Our mission at Pacifica Tiny Homes, is to create quality tiny houses at an affordable price. Due to the housing crisis and increasing rent, particularly in the Bay Area, we know that housing is limited and it is difficult to buy homes. A tiny house provides the opportunity to be independent and own your own piece of property.
Our Statement on the ADU Process
As we started building and getting a lot of inquiries, we received a call from a Bay Area neighbor in Pacifica. Due to the (il)legality of tiny homes we ventured to get our plans approved by the city of Pacifica with the intention of our tiny home on wheels being placed as a legal ADU in our neighbor's backyard. Once we submitted the plans for our tiny home, the city came back with 30 corrections. We knew it was going to take some time, but we persisted and believed that we could make it work. One of the corrections required that our plans be approved by HCD, the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
When we called to inquire, we were transferred back and forth trying to find the correct person to speak to. We met a lot of uncertainty and outright rejection by some who repeated over and over that tiny homes are not legal in the state, which was understandable. After many phone calls and some time of trying to maneuver our way within the system, we got ahold of the right person, the HCD District Representative, who was willing to help. He informed us that although tiny homes are not legal, there are ways to have our plans approved as long as we followed the guidelines of FBH, factory built homes. We ventured again into another task of finding the right people to certify our plans. We called many California state approved inspectors, but met a lot of hesitation as well as some making it seem like an impossible task, until we found the right person again.
This person guided us through the whole process, and went out of his way to help us succeed. We believe that our Bay Cottage model is now the first tiny home on wheels to have the plans approved by the state of California to be a legal FBH, and can be used as an ADU. After a few months of working diligently towards this goal, our plans have been approved and stamped by the city of Pacifica. Although it was difficult, with this certification our plans can now be submitted to any planning department throughout California. This puts our customers at an advantage, because it facilitates the ADU process for those who live in areas where tiny homes are not "legal."

America's obsession with Fortnite continues, but for how long? The multiplayer battle royale is currently the most popular video game in the world, but a new game is quickly picking up speed, and millions of players, threatening Fortnite's spot at the top. So the days of hearing about the latest Fortnite dance craze could be coming to an end for gamers and parents of younger gamers – thanks to the upstart Respawn Entertainment. The studio's hot new game Apex Legends is now gaining more traction in a shorter time span than its more famous competitor. On its surface, Apex Legends is similar in style to Fortnite: both are third-person winner-take-all shooting games that often end in a battle royale-type scenario.
While Apex lacks the building mechanics and character subtlety of Fortnite, it's more reliant on the action, including special abilities like bombs and airstrikes, especially in the last-team-standing mode of the game. And it only took 30 days for Apex to pull in 50 million players, that's amazing. To put that into perspective, it took Fortnite a hundred days to hit just 45 million players, on the way to its current mark of about 200 million. Of course, when counting players, both games are likely counting how many overall downloads the games have, not the number of active players. In that respect, Fortnite still has an advantage because it's more widespread; the game is currently available on the three major consoles, PC, and mobile devices. But Apex Legends – so far – is only available on X-Box One, PlayStation 4, and PC. It's not clear when or if Respawn might open the game up to other platforms, or if there will be a cross-platform play option like there is with Fortnite. But one thing is certain: if Apex keeps adding players at this rate, it will soon become king of the gaming world.
Furthermore, Apex Legends has a diverse style of play unfamiliar with Battle Royale style of games. Whereas Fortnite, PUBG, and even COD Blackout either feature Solo, Duos, or a 4 Man Squad; Apex Legends allows a 3-Man Squad and that is it. Leaving some players wanting them to add these other options. This creates a Unique style of play, considering map size and the low pool of characters to utilize, for teams to really choose who they need in the battlefield and strategize their play style. I myself love to run LifeLine especially when my brothers run are more agro or aggressive gameplay.
Apex took the gaming industry by storm and I don't see them transcending into a dark pit where they don't gain players. It's new, different, and honestly over all just a fun game to play. So grab two buddies, become the launch master, and battle your way to becoming the champion squad; did we mention it's free?

It just cost factual, a location data company that makes data accessible to everyone, about $1M to protect itself from a patent troll.
"We would have much preferred to invest the capital spent on this lawsuit – not to mention the countless hours of executive time – on further developing our data and technology," Elbaz added. "I am fortunate that our investors and our financial position afforded us the ability to fight this. While it may be easier and cheaper for any individual company to settle, if enough companies fight these suits, we can collectively make it unprofitable to be a patent troll."
..said Gil Elbaz, the founder of the company. Not all startups however can afford the money. Patent trolls are basically like the freeloaders of society who want to collect tax from anyone who do anything. It not only kills innovation, it kills business in general. This brings us to the topic of distinguishing what is patent-able and what is not. It's not that hard you see, patents simply have no place in a real meaningful society which cares about people who make life possible. Patents are simply things used to crush innovation and competition. The basic tenet behind patents is that you can't reproduce a piece of art if it has already been created and patented, so that other people can't sell the same piece of art — It literally just sounds plain stupid to be honest.
Kudo's to factual and Gil for winning this!

Having lost files that you have tried to recover on your own but have failed is like getting caught between a rock and a hard place. The rock is the reality that you might end up paying thousands of dollars while the hard place is the possibility of not getting your files back. In the worst case scenario, you might even end up shelling out around a hundred bucks and still not get your files back. This can become a really big dilemma especially for people who are already tight on their spending.
$300 Data Recovery has Revolutionised Data Recovery
$300 Data Recovery intends to change the way the file retrieval business is done and make it more consumer friendly to promote peace of mind to customers through the following ways:
- Removal of the diagnostic charge
- A fixed rate for successful recoveries
- Provision of a list of the status of each file before recovery is initiated
The company is the first to offer free checking of hard drives. Customers can have their disk diagnosed without paying an upfront fee or down payment. If it is later determined that recovery of the files is not possible anymore probably due to the damage being too severe, the customer can leave without making any payment. A simple "thank you" is all the staff asks. If your drive still has some useful parts the company might even take it off your hands and pay you around $10 dollars depending on the size and remaining usable parts of the drive. This way, you at least get something from your visit.

Fixed – Rate Data Recovery Services
It's the test results reveal that all or at least most of the files can be restored, you will only be charged for $300 which is less than half the lowest rate of other service providers. The fee remains 300 bucks even if the use of a portable clean room is required to diagnose and repair your drive so do not worry. In no means will you be required to pay more than the fixed rate.

Ze is a supernatural shounen-ai/yaoi manga by Yuki Shimizu, famous also for Recipe and Love Made. The announcement on Shinshokan Publishing's official website revealed that the live-action movie will cover the fifth volume of the story and that the final product will open in the upcoming winter season.
Ze Volume 5 revolves around the relationship between Moriya, whose master Kami-sama has just died, and Ryuusei. The two of them, although sharing a spiritual connection, can't really get along mainly because of Ryuusei's unwillingness to acknowledge the young Moriya.

Leyton Orient came back from being two goals down to snatch a late draw as they stopped the recent slide in form with a 2-2 away draw at leaders Aldershot Town.
How Orient might relish Romauld Boco's 82nd minute goal come the end of the season as the form book was totally against them coming into this match. Aldershot were top of the league and on a superb run of form. They were also at home with a boisterous set of fans applauding their every move. Orient were on a dreadful run shipping goals like sardines and unable to find the net themselves in any way, shape or form. On the back of three successive defeats the omens were not looking good for the East London side particularly as they went 2-0 down with only 20 minutes of the match gone.
Yet the O's pulled up their strides, found a bit of confidence (something desperately lacking in the last few weeks) and by hook or by crook managed to salvage a point over in Hampshire with the clock ticking down.
You've heard the old adage repeated many a time by managers throughout football 'It was a game of two halves', well this wasn't. This was a game of two segments, the first thirty minutes belonged to Town with the remaining 60 minutes all Orient and the O's may even have been disappointed returning to the big smoke with just a solitary point for their efforts.
You could be forgiven for thinking that Orient on recent form might crumble like a chocolate Flake in a wind tunnel but the O's were resilient, solid and at times irresistible in those 60 minutes and in the fog of a long season this might be seen as a barometer of how the Londoner's campaign changed for the better.
The draw leaves Leyton Orient in 13th place in the 24 team National League but this gutsy effort from Orient saw them throw off the demons of the last month and shot the Aldershot Club off the top of the pile as the army town slipped to second in their quest for automatic promotion back to the league proper.
These two clubs hadn't met in the league for exactly thirty years but it wasn't long before a goal was in the offing and unfortunately it all started so badly for the O's when the home team snatched the lead with only minutes gone. Aldershot's Jim Kellermann looked to find a fellow team member and was lucky to see his pass deflect into the path of right-back Alexander and the defender, under no pressure whatsoever, rocketed it in in from the edge of the penalty area.
Aldershot manager Gary Waddock looked on his side to build on their opening goal and with only 20 minutes gone a simple long ball forward was badly defended by Sendles-White at the back for the O's, he got himself into a muddle and Town's McClure was in on goal. He controlled well and shot past a disgruntled Grainger and hey presto it was 2-0 before you could say boo to a goose.
Rather than cave in and dismantle it was the kick up the backside Orient required as they spent the next 10 minutes re-establishing themselves in the game and Steve Davis team showed tremendous character to get back into the match.
Orient pulled one back just before the break when Craig Clay headed in Jobi McAnuff's free-kick to see the visitors go in 2-1 down at half time.
The second half was one way traffic and the game belied both the two teams current form and positions in the table. McAnuff was unlucky to hit the woodwork, and Jake Cole was in cracking form to deny O's striker Macauley Bonne.
The O's threw everything but the kitchen sink to get back onto level terms and Steve Davis's men deservedly levelled when Romuald Boco rounded the goalkeeper to score with eight minutes of the match remaining and Clay could have bagged all three points for the away team but missed a golden opportunity to win it in the last seconds.
