Pride Mobility Go-Go Elite Traveller 3-Wheel Travel Mobility Scooter Review
In terms of mobility scooters, it can often be difficult to find the right fit for you. It's not at all uncommon for a scooter to have some of the features you want, but to be missing out on one or more key components that you consider necessary. The Pride Mobility, in my opinion, offers a break from this frustrating cycle, as I believe that it has all of the necessary features for most people while also having some nice selling points in the form of additional features. Here are a few of its most appealing qualities!
Frame Design
The first and arguably most important part of the Pride Mobility scooter is its frame design. It offers a very simple and yet highly effective frame design that I think gives it a distinct advantage over many of its competitors.
For example, the frame can be disassembled into 5 pieces (all of which are lightweight and easy to put back together) which allows for very easy and convenient transportation. This means that if you need to take apart the scooter and move it somewhere else, you have a great means to do so with no headache or hassles.
Additionally, the frame has an all around sturdy and properly built design, so you don't have to worry about shoddy craftsmanship or any other common concerns for other mobility scooters.
Lockup Mechanism
Another very promising feature for the Pride Mobility scooter is its lockup mechanism. Several mobility scooters on the market have poor or downright absent lockup mechanisms which can provide a serious concern in terms of safety and protection. This is not the case for this particular scooter, which offers a lockup mechanism right out the gate.
The lockup mechanism is auto-latching, which is a neat little addition that you might not be used to seeing in other mobility scooters. It also permits frame separation with one hand, so you need not worry about whether or not it will provide that feature for you.
Overall, the lockup mechanism for the Pride Mobility scooter is definitely of a higher quality and could be a determining factor in your decision of whether or not to purchase the scooter.
Front Seat
Finally, there is the front seat, which has several appealing characteristics. For one, the front seat is frame-mounted. This allows for a degree of stability that other scooters often don't provide, or at least don't provide very well. You can travel without any worries that the scooter might be unbalanced or unable to support you while you move.
In other words, if you are worried about how stable and solid the front seat of your scooter is going to be, the Pride Mobility is not a product you need to have any concerns about. Because of its frame-mounted nature, it inherently allows for a high degree of stability. You don't have to have any concerns about whether or not it will be able to properly support you when travelling with it.

Archlector Astraea Valardin of Gloria
"Everyone wants to be a beast, until it's time to do what beasts do."
Social Rank: 5
Concept: Bewitching Slayer
Fealty: Crownsworn
Family: Valardin
Gender: Female
Marital Status: Married
Age: 21
Birthday: 12/30
Religion: Pantheon (Oathlands Orthodox)
Vocation: Paladin
Height: 5'6''
Hair Color: Snow White
Eye Color: Cerulean-Hazel
Skintone: Fair
Description: Astraea, like her mother and twin sister, is mostly without pigment of the flesh or hair. With skin as pale as freshly fallen snow, rosy cherubic cheeks and heart shaped lips these distinctive features are often some of the first things passerby might notice. The silken white tresses that frame her face and flow around her airily adds an unearthly quality to her person. Astraea stands at middling height, average in that regard but somehow her presence is almost that of someone twice her size even if she is trying to avoid scrutiny. She is delicate of limb but possessing a well toned frame that belies her athleticism and her arms and legs terminate into delicate appendages. Her nails are often manicured and colored according to whatever whimsical fancy she desires. Subtle curves are still padded with baby fat, her voluptuous figure otherwise filled out in delightfully alluring proportions and being that her cerulean blue eyes are flecked with golds and yellows it's easy to see how someone might call her exotic.
Personality: Coquettish to a fault and debonair even when she shouldn't be. Astraea has impeccable manners and doesn't believe in rudeness of any kind, even upon the battlefield. Though some might describe her as pragmatic this chevalier is highly principled and carries herself with the moral fiber of someone who keeps themselves accountable for their own actions. While her moods tend to vary like her sister's she is most usually in high spirits, but never quite bubbly. Even suggesting such a thing is enough to earn a scoff and maybe a derisive chuckle or two. It's normally assumed that soldiers, knights and warriors of her caliber tend to be highly disciplined but this Lycene born princess is quite lazy. Never when it counts, but enough that if she can delegate or sidestep a minor responsibility she will. This attitude lends to her Tehom-may-care demeanor and compliments her sometimes too serious moments quite well. A woman of contrasts indeed.
Background: Astraea was born mere minutes before her twin sister but the two might often go back and forth on who was actually the first brought into this world. Though she may be identical in looks to her sister they are quite different in some ways. Astraea is the more thrill-seeking, physical type who enjoyed tussling with the boys and getting dirty. Unafraid of a little danger, she always managed to find herself getting into trouble. Her mother was afraid of losing her daughter to the wiles of her whimsy and did her best to reign her in. There was no way in hell that Astraea would ever enjoy embroidery or needlepoint. Knowing her daughter well, the Igniseri noblewoman managed to procure the services of a well known sellsword from a foreign land. Due to her natural inclination toward athleticism she was an excellent student and picked up swordplay quickly. This only bolstered her eagerness to partake in dangerous ventures for that rush of adrenaline. Storm-chasing, rock-climbing, extreme sports, diving, exploring, and just about anything that risks life and limb was on her checklist. Astraea managed to undertake many exciting adventures but her career as a daredevil came to an end when she got married. It was politically motivated and she had never met her intended before they were engaged. As she got to know him it seemed alright and the Igniseri girl felt like perhaps she might even grow to love him.
It was with a heavy heart that she left her family and home in the Southern isles to go and live in the icy north. Life can be good, but it isn't always happy endings and for Astraea this was quite the case. Her husband died three years into their marital bliss, his body was found terribly mangled and the cause of death was never discovered. In the weeks following the investigation into the Redrain Prince's death the grisly details were kept from his widow. After the news was delivered to her, Astraea sunk into depression and mourning, thus shattering the hopes and dreams of the southern-but-northern princess who had expected to live a long life with her Prince Charming.
Many long months have gone by since then and once again Astraea has fallen prey to her wanderlust and taste for a good fight. Ever a devotee of Gloria, this princess is highly devout and her love of the Gods is second to none. It's no secret that she walks with the Sentinel and has a special place in her heart for the Queen of Endings but she carries a flame of passion in her heart and soul for each member of the Pantheon; finding their combined philosophies and teachings the most beneficial to the soul. Strangely enough she is not actually a member of any single discipleship but the Redrain princess frequents the shrine and the Cathedral.
When she isn't pursuing a life of piety, Astraea pursues her interests quietly and tends to avoid the politicking of Arx. Her sister, Aurelia, and her spend a great deal of time together and tend to be synchronous with their moods. This doesn't always mean the pair of them are in agreement but even in their discordance they manage to echo one another's thoughts and feelings as if they share a soul or at the very least a mind. There are no limits on her love for family and the people, all people. Some might see this as naivete or weakness but Astraea has always seen the best in humanity and has an amazing capacity for love. She enjoys meeting people with warmth and open arms, and though she may not always see eye to eye with someone she does her best to keep an open mind. How she arrived in the city is a bit of a mystery, but the why is something she hasn't been quite forthcoming about either but she has set about throwing all of her efforts into maintaining the peace and bringing down the Compact's foes.
|An elegant, humorous noble I met in the Ambassador's Salon, perhaps the most likeable of all the princesses I have thus far come across. Not overly formal, nor informal; a perfect balance of being personable and polite.
|A woman capable of holding her own. She ran like the wind and didn't give up the chase, which is highly respectable. There's much more to her, this I can see, but what I saw of her was enough to want to know more. Besides, she has beautiful hair.
|A face that I have not seen in some time but it was good to see her again. A bright spot in a time of turmoil. She makes me think about how best to woo her from Redrain.
|Princess Astraea Redrain. Lycene, though disciplined. Devoted to the protection of people. A good woman.
|My darling sister! I love her yet she refuses to the see the truth, no matter how often I remind her.
|Are all of Apollis' sisters so wildly different, talented and beautiful? A good, level head on her shoulders and a mind for war I wouldn't mind picking later.
|A strong woman, one who doesn't just want to hear platitudes and entreaties. One who values action and truth. I like her a lot. I feel she will be a good person to work closely with.
|The best fighter I have ever had the pleasure of sparring with. She may even give my cousins Reese and Luca a run for their money. Of course, she is charming and truly magnificent. I hope we have more opportunities to speak.
|A stunning woman and her curious nature is refreshing. A look forward to future encounters.
|She has always exhibited traits of the devout. She is a fearless warrior of the gods as shown in her acts and I have the utmost confidence she shall continue to represent their teachings in her daily life.
|I hadn't met the princess before, but she seems to be a friendly sort. Watched the sparring with me, exchanged some words and seemed genuinely interested in other people. Not too bad. I'd watch a fight with her again.
|Surprising tough for such a little princess!
|The sweet, charming Redrain Princess I have know for a few years now. She is a good friend and a trusted confidante. If I need counsel I know I can always turn to her. I have no shortage of affection for her.
|Always a delight to be around. Brings a smile and joy to every room she is in.
|This lady has gumption. I love how she just keeps going through every challenge, she does her best to make her own stamp on what she wants and she does it with style!
|Seems like a very modest and beautiful Redrain princess. She's clearly skilled with her blade, and underplayed her importance. A rarity, really. Quite nice, I hope to get to speak to her more in the future, should she have time. Appears to be worth knowing.
|One of those rare few people where honor, piety, a sense of humor and a light personality all combine - and with martial grace and ethereal beauty atop it all. I am quite fortunate to have finally gotten the chance to speak to her, and experience that warm personality and exuberance for myself. She does Gloria proud, of this I am certain.
|Princess Astraea Redrain. Pretty girl, pretty armour. Likes Skald, niece of Drea. Probably good people? Sorry to rush off :(
|A most rarefied delight from the North. A Princess and a knight, who sorely kicked my rear while having a lovely one of her own. I can only hope to impress her as much as she has me in this brief meeting.
|A right honorable woman and a damn good warrior too. You will serve the Godsworn well, we'll miss you around the house, but you are always welcome in the North.
|A princess looking for a fight. I imagine that soon she will find one.
|Vivacious and raucous and easily able to bring a smile to my face. She seems like a lot of fun, though I hope it wasn't just the drink talking.
|She's such a beacon of hope and strength for the faith. They've gained another powerful Godsworn, and I expect her to do great things, now let me see if she'll take me up on the offer of drinks. I bet she has some stories to share.
|Wow. This woman can fight.
|She's grown since I last saw her. She seems certain in her opinions, confident in herself, friendly. A credit to us and to herself. I want to get to know her now as the full adult that she is.
|I have a working theory that no one that delightful signs up tk be a knight unless they are able to also be just as UNdelightful. And so I shall remain on her good side.
|Astraea is the brightest star of them all. While others may dull and fade, she only grows brighter by the day. My older sister, my guardian, my mentor, and my motivation. The best friend anyone could wish for. It's no secret that I aspire to be everything she is.
|It had been years since I had last seen Astraea in person, and oh my has she changed. There is still that shy innocence, but it is now mingled with a confidence that is befitting of a woman such as her. A skilled fighter and knowledgeable counselor, I value her wisdom and strength as much as her beauty, kindness and care. To say that I enjoy her company would be an understatement, at the very least.
|Cousin! It feels like so long since I've been with any of my family like this. You are as strong as you are lovely. I am so happy to be reunited with you and hope we can catch up on everything sooner than later.
|Astraea is very skilled with the blade. Her style of combat is very entertaining and inspiring to watch. I dare say she's among the best I've ever seen. Her nature outside of combat is kind and warm, she is a soothing presence to the tired soul.
|The Princess was most kind and quite eloquent -- that white hair is like a thing of stories.
|An extremely pious woman who is filled with the Faith. I am on the pious side myself, but she's on a whole different level. I'm not sure whether I admire that or am I intimidated by it.
|Obviously she's an elegant and beautiful princess, but she seems like a very nice woman too. No airs or graces, friendly. I can't see any reason why I wouldn't like her.
|I genuinely envy my cousin, Princess Astraea. She has a presense, charm, and warmth that easily fills a room. It is like no time has passed from when we last saw each other and I am so, so glad she is in the city.
|I fought hard to see it. But her true face is breathtakin' to behold.
|Shy. Lacks confidence in herself. Time will tell if this will change for the better or worse.
|Possibly one of my favorite Princesses thus far. A holy warrior. I sense a kindred spirit.
|I had heard of the Princess that had turned her back on her tutelage and peerage to take up the blade. Meeting her was an eye-opening experience in understanding. I have not seen someone so deadly and beautiful at the same time.
|Dame Astraea of the Harp and the Cat-That's-Not-A-Cat. She seems a shy woman to wield a sword, which is a heartening thing to see! One need not be a teeth-baring warrior to be an effective defender.
|A strange woman and not at all what I expected from the Northlands. I'm still not sure just what it was she was asking, somehow it seems as though we each had different conversations from one another. I am glad though to have met her, and hope that we will have the opportunity to come to know one another in the future.
|This young Princess knows her hearts desire, and goes after it. It's an admirable trait, as not everyone knows how to do this.
|*Luca just fans himself with his hand. Is it hot in here?*
|A princess. Not Echo. Looks like her. Astraea, of course. Still, the resemblance is striking. She seems pretty friendly, though. Trained in fighting, as all good Redrain princesses should be. I ought to talk to her more.
|What gusto. It is clear she has a hunger for the world, not just the impressive meal she set herself. Her warmth with the staff, her comfort in approaching and meeting strangers. Such delicate features, but such a strong spirit with the armor to protect both!
|She is kind, sweet like her sister. Her presence by my bed is giving me comfort. Her efforts to help are sincere.
|Recently sworn to the Gods and a brilliant warrior at that, Astraea carries with her an easiness and a charm that makes her far too easy to get along with.
|Redrain princess who came to the training center to watch people spar. Judging from the swordbelt she was wearing, I would not be surprised if she is a combatant herself.
|I find her nice and seeming chivalrous, though she seems to not know too much about certain cultural aspects of the place. Still she means well and is quite nice, and she is quite devoted to the Pantheon!
|Reminds me a lot of her sister, she seems to be as confident and fun. It would be nice to get to know her in a slightly less crazy setting.
|Exactly what I expect from a princess. Not one shade different.
|Young, but good-hearted, Orazio thinks. She seems to be earnest in her studies, particularly for a Northerner, and he enjoyed meeting her.
|She seems very nice and is thoughtful and aware of those around her.
|I must admit that I did not recall who Astraea was at first, I had to have Lucita remind me. And when she did it came back to me. She was the adventurous one, who went otu to find new things to get into. She and Vincere and Pietro would have gotten along well. Ariella is sure to get along with her great. I hope I'll have time to get to know her while she's here, and now that I'm in Arx for good.
|She seems very friendly and quite passionate about things. I never seen her fight, but I think she has a great potential and would love to see her fight one day. Maybe we will be in battles together in the coming days.
|Not what I expected when hearing her name. She is small, but strong and fast, very skilled. Elgana should learn to fight from her, not from Agatha... I have never been so soundly trounced as when we sparred.
|Another whom I came in contact with watching duelists. She seems to know what she's looking at as well, other than handsome men doing things with swords. She's also quite strikingly pretty.
|I'm afraid I started out my first interaction with Astraea by disappointing her as she was hoping to find Michael and Lailah. I was delighted to be able to recover and have a pleasant chat with the snow haired beauty. She wants to be doing more, and that is a fine trait. Wanting to do more is the first step toward doing more. I hope to get to know her better.
|A wonderly pleasant Redrain princess who I am curious to know more about.
|Young. Was I ever that young? And sweet, kin to Pietro and Vincere which makes me painfully biased.
|A Redrain princess who I was blessed to have on my team during a snow fort event. She did an excellent job, as one would expect. I had no doubts that she will accomplish great things.
|A lovely princess with a kindness about her that is infectious. Her manners are impeccable. I am certain that we would get along splendidly.
|Scholarly, like me. Great company to watch a spar with even if it's not either or our strengths. I do hope to talk about research later. When I'm not trying to learn how to fight.
|This princess is also a lady knight! And she's excited about Gloria and about Sorrel also being a lady knight. Sorrel definitely hopes they can spend time in one another's company in the future.
|She seems very friendly. Striking hair, but good striking instead of 'are you a burn victim' like I get. Wonder how she'll take to the city.
|She's embraced the mantle of one blessed by Gloria, and exemplifies those ideals, from what I can tell. No small honor, being favored by Her - I hope to learn more about the woman Cassandra entrusted this duty to in a less rowdy setting. And preferably while I'm less drunk.
|I have never wished to impress anyone more. She noticed me and I earned her praise. Her presence is all things beautiful in Gloria.
|Bright, and young, and eager. All fine things in their place. Skilled enough with her blade. More'n any of that, Esoka says she's worth trusting.
|A Princess who can drink and fight. I'd like to know more.
|She is lovely, but that is an easy impression. She is strong, observable over time, or when facing down difficult situations. Lycene fish-out-of-water they say? I am a similar sort of fish, and have learned little by little not to drown on land.
|A solid fighter, atypical style similar to myself. She has a bright future, and reminding an old girl like me of my limits.
|Northern girl with locks of snowy hair. She fights like hell and she's curvy too, a rare sort of combination. I ain't see her much but I like her. Maybe Astrid does too, if they keep staring at each other like that.
|ANOTHER one. I look forward to getting to know this Redrain princess as well. Cheerful and a bit mischevious, she is much less boisterous than certain -other- princesses of Redrain I know. And she is Echo's sister, which automatically raises her in my opinion.

The business bookcase: what to add to your shelves in 2019
Posted 21st March, 2019 by Janah
At the start of 2019, the new Netflix show Tidying Up started trending on Twitter. The show is presented by Marie Kondo, author of The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up. In each episode, Marie visits a new home to give it a makeover by way of helping the owners clear out their clutter.
A few weeks after the popularity of the show started to rise, Marie caused controversy by revealing to her 97.5K fans that she believed that people should purge their bookcases. She said that people should keep no more than 30 books at a time and that all of those books should 'spark joy'.
There is, however, one flaw in Marie's advice. What about those books that spark learning or those that spark inspirational ideas?
One of the most influential business books of all time, Sun Zu's The Art of War, probably doesn't fall into the joy-sparking category. Does that mean it doesn't deserve a permanent place on bookshelves? Surely not. Rumours have it, that it takes pride of place on the bookcases of the likes of Branson and Bill Gates.
So with this in mind, we've composed a list of five bookcase-worthy business books. Some are critically acclaimed recent releases while others are highly anticipated new titles, available for pre-order now.
The Bullet Journal Method
Penned by digital product designer Ryder Carroll, The Bullet Journal Method was released at the end of October 2018. The methodology in the book is described as a 'mindfulness practice disguised as a productivity system'.
But what does that really mean?
The book differentiates between being busy and being productive. It cites research that the average person has between 50,000 and 70,000 thoughts a day and offers a methodology for managing those thoughts to make life more productive.
The system detailed in the book is designed to help readers overcome problems like decision fatigue and learn how to break goals down into more achievable constituent parts. Plus, it gives readers the tools to reflect on what they do on a day-to-day basis to ensure that their actions fit in with their beliefs and values.
Pig Wrestling - The Brilliantly Simple Way to Solve Any Problem… and Create the Change You Need
The pig in the title of this book represents any problem that you might be wrestling with. The authors, Pete Lindsay and Mark Bawden, have a background in elite sports performance psychology and have worked with the likes of Olympic athlete Jennifer Ennis-Hill and the England cricket team in the past.
The book is written in the form of a fable that walks you through a method of reframing any problem you may be facing. It offers advice for how to truly break down a problem – looking at elements such as what they call 'pink bungee cords' aka the factors that have to be present for the problem to occur and 'the tin feeding trough' aka the ways you have tried to solve the problem in the past.
The authors claim that you can read this book in under an hour and that, by the end of it, you'll be able to use its insight to resolve any seemingly impossible problem in your business.
Every Tool's a Hammer
This book, by Discovery Channel presenter Adam Savage won't be released until May 2019, but it's available to pre-order already. It's all about creativity and touches on everything from how to find inspiration to how to turn your ideas into reality.
Since the author of the book is an inventor and maker, the book features insight including sketches and photographs that show how some of his own projects were brought to life. In addition, it features interviews with other creatives such as Pixar director Andrew Stanton.
Advice includes: don't wait until everything is perfect to begin; plan with pencil and paper; sweep up every day; learn from doing; share your toys and there is an exact tool for every task, but if you need to pound in a nail and all you have handy is a skill saw—hammer away.
Unlearn: Let Go of Past Success to Achieve Extraordinary Results
Released in December 2018, Unlearn: Let Go of Past Success to Achieve Extraordinary Results was written to help leaders 'rethink their strategies, retool their capabilities, and revitalize their businesses for stronger, longer-lasting success'.
The book has been written by entrepreneur Barry O'Reilly, who has advised various Fortune 500 companies in the past.
The premise of the book is that business leaders can get stuck in routines, relying on behaviours that were successful in the past to tackle the issues of the future. It offers advice on how business people can break the cycle of these behaviours and start implementing new skills, strategies and processes for innovation that are more appropriate to the current business climate.
Digital Minimalism
Published on February 5th 2019, Digital Minimalism has been written by Cal Newport, an associate professor of computer science at Georgetown University and author of bestselling business book Deep Work.
As the name suggests, the book is essentially about reducing noise in life – about decluttering digitally – going beyond tips like turning off social media notifications and taking a digital sabbath, to deliver an actual method for deciding what tools to use, for what purposes, and under what conditions.
While many of the tips in the book are designed to improve personal life there are also huge implications for businesses. The advice in the book is designed to get people more focused and less stressed – which can free up space in business owners' minds to concentrate on the more important matters.

The Malaysian Insider reported yesterday that NFCorp Chairman Mohd Salleh Ismail met with Perkasa and 15 other NGOs to brief them on the NFC situation (read here). Immediately after that, Ibrahim Ali gave a statement that "the office of the Auditor-General had already agreed in private that the company's affairs were in order". He further made startling remarks that stabbed the AG in his back insinuating that the AG made a mistake in his 2010 Report regarding the "mess" in NFCorp and that he should "release an official statement."
"It's not in a mess. Everything is in order. But the Auditor-General has not made a formal announcement," Ibrahim told reporters at Hotel Putra here following the meeting.
"I urge the Auditor-General to please be fair to everybody. He must release an official statement."
The Pasir Mas MP also said the Auditor-General's office may have made small mistakes when preparing the national audit report as not all staff are trained equally well.
"When they did the report, there were some elements that were accurate and some not so accurate because of weaknesses of the officers," he said.
These are extremely dangerous remarks implying that the office of the AG and the AG himself are suspects of making serious errors in their work and report. This will also cast doubt as to which other parts of the AG Reports through the years are mere tall tales.
The AG and his office have upheld the standards of audit and reported those items that can't be ignored and the NFCorp state of affairs being one of them. One thing for sure, Ibrahim Ali has no expertise to audit and assess what happened in NFCorp and it will be very unlikely that Mohd Salleh Ismail ever showed the full set of books to him and the other 15 NGOs. What probably took place was a story telling time by the NFCorp Chairman to these people with no locus standi.
Error #1 – NFCorp meeting with Perkasa and 15 NGOs to brief them. NFCorp should not brief them while the investigation is on-going. And if they have to break the news, wouldn't it be wiser to brief the public, the Malaysians who paid the taxes for the RM250m loan to them? This is a GLC and since when do GLCs brief NGOs?
Error #2 – Ibrahim Ali accusing the AG and his office of making a "mistake" and that there were auditors who were "weak" and implied that the AG office had admitted "in private" that the NFCorp was all in order. This defames the good AG and his office. It also draws the AG into the political limelight which he has avoided. What is stated in the 2010 Report is clear and the NFCorp is to take appropriate action to rectify the weaknesses.
Error #3 – Ibrahim Ali forcing the AG to admit to what he calls a mistake in declaring the NFCorp as a mess. By suggesting that a private conversation had taken place with an admission of error, he has placed the AG in danger of tainting the high office of the AG.
If someone came out and said that Ibrahim Ali has privately said that he was a "happy guy" and urged him (in his own words) "to please be fair to everybody. He must release an official statement." What would he do? He will have no time to poop while entertaining such demeaning jerks.
Anyone can make accusations and such are dangerous statements to make. If there is proof, then let Mohd Salleh Ismail come clean and rebut all the accusations thrown at the NFCorp by PKR. Not for Ibrahim Ali to speak on behalf of NFCorp.
Even when the Government is launching an audit on NFCorp is all wrong. This equates to auditing the AG's work and is casting suspicions on the AG's 201o Report.
Now with the NFCorp briefing Perkasa and 15 NGOs, the entire NFCorp episode stinks to high heaven of all kinds of foul play unless the NFCorp comes clean and rectifies all the audit exposures reported by the AG and the alleged breach of trust by the PKR. If there was oversight, then admit it. Else disprove it. Playing politics around this will allow PKR to grill the NFCorp, BN and Umno to the maximum.
If the whistleblower as alleged by Ibrahim was a disgruntled ex-staff and cast aspersions that he had allegedly skimmed a lot of money from NFCorp, it will be clear if this ever gets to court. The internal investigation never found a way to recover the so-called loss of monies and sacked him. That sounds like a tall tale newly concocted. If there was clear proof, this would have been a criminal case and the Police should have been involved in the first place. It will not be left to Ibrahim Ali to play the media.
Ibrahim Ali is desperately clamoring for relevance when he has lost it all. It shows that Perkasa has nothing better to do. They are completely ignorant of the submarines and patrol boats deals but they put their finger into NFCorp? Seems that Perkasa likes to choose what they want to champion and whatever they touch is made worse.
Watch the NFCorp debacle closely now!
Just when you thought the poop has hit the fan, well, it has not quite reached that point just yet!

By Rich Wellins, Ph.D.
We recently surveyed over 600 leaders about their transition to a leadership role. We asked if they were pressured into the position or made a voluntary choice. We then asked how it turned out.
Before anyone decides to move up to a leadership position, they should consider one critical research finding: those who felt forced into the position were three times more dissatisfied with their role and twice as likely to consider quitting.
While not surprising, the number of leaders who feel compelled to take "that promotion," even though it may be for the wrong reasons, is concerning.
I have asked dozens of leaders if they could go back to their old job as an individual contributor, but keep their leadership "perks," would they do so? The answer was yes—in a heartbeat!
So, making the decision to lead is an important choice. Even more importantly, it is a choice leaders need to make for themselves.
Two indications for my advice:
No, our goal is not to scare people away from taking on a new role that might be perfect for them. A great majority of those who take on the role, for the right reasons, find immense satisfaction as leaders. Many continue to move up the ladder. Many continue to take their teams, businesses, and yes, even the world to new heights. But we do feel the decision should be approached as a personal choice and given the same considerations as any critical "life decision."
To learn more about what it takes to become a great new leader, take a look at our new book, Your First Leadership Job.

It's a good idea to fill any cracks in your cement driveway before they become bigger issues and now is a great time to do it. Winter can expand and contract cracks and make them worse so a few minutes outside could help out a lot.
Believe it or not, just a few dollars in supplies and you could extend the life of your driveway not only a year or two, but the repairs although they may not hold forever, the lifespan could be extended by many, many years if you keep on top of it from time to time.
Here's the most basic instructions you could ever find:
• Clean the driveway - use a leaf blower, broom, and whatever you need to to clear grass and debris from cracks.
• Use a wire brush or hard broom to remove pieces that are very loose. The idea is to have a clean, solid surface for filler to adhere to.
• Fill small cracks with a textured caulk, a liquid concrete, or a concrete sealer.
• With deep cracks you have a few options. The first of which is to decide if you could fill the crack with sand partially so that the crack has a solid base again instead of voids. Visit your home improvement store or look for the best products online. There are consumer product choices such as vinyl concrete patch, concrete grout, and driveway caulk to choose from. Follow the directions on the product and fill cracks as recommended.
That's the quickest summary to get you started, but here's the key:
The pressures OFF!
That's because any repair you do to the cracks will be better than letting another year come and go without doing anything!
P.S. If you need better instructions or a second opinion there are many articles online and you can always call a cement installation company for their opinion.

I always leave this kind of work to the experts but this time, I want to be the one to fix it. The crack in my driveway is so noticeable that I have to stop by it every time I see it. I'm glad that you offered ideas on how to repair this. I was able to easily understand the steps. I think I still have to do a thorough research because I'm new to this. I just hope that everything will work somehow.
8/2/2018 04:29:44 pm
The new home that my sister moved into has a few problems with her driveway. She wants to make sure that she can get the best repair results possible. I think it would help her a lot to know that she should try to remove as much debris in the cracks as possible so the driveway repair can adhere and fill successfully.
3/25/2020 03:54:07 pm
I've come to notice small cracks in our concrete along the foundation of my house... I look into a filler, give the cracks are small, this seems like the best solution.

A Buffy Movie Without Joss Whedon?
Yesterday, I got notification of a new review of my novel Doc Wilde and The Frogs of Doom. When I finished enjoying it (because it was by someone who really enjoyed the book), I glanced at my email, and lo, there was another new review.
So I clicked over to it, ready to enjoy, only to find the closest thing to a bad review I've gotten yet (out of nearly twenty).
It's an interesting bit of happenstance that these reviews appeared at pretty much the same time, because they are from two very distinct viewpoints: that of someone who knows and loves pulp adventure stories, and that of someone who isn't familiar with pulp and seems not to care for it. Continue reading
My latest interview is with Lisa at Enchanting YA:
Why action/adventure?
I love adventure stories. Always have.
I was recently thinking about this very question, about why this is the sort of thing that my mind comes up with (as opposed to, say, suburban divorce stories), and it occurred to me that most adventure tales are tales of optimism. The heroes face difficulties, and almost always manage to overcome them. Adventure stories are usually considered escapism, a retreat from our daily reality, but I think instead they actually motivate us subconsciously to engage reality. They give us models of perseverance and hope.
The rest is here.
Bill Crider, a well-regarded novelist writing mainly in the mystery genre, but not exclusively, provides the latest review of Doc Wilde and The Frogs of Doom. Something tells me he's a longtime pulp fan like me:
Looking for a Doc Savage pastiche and a Lovecraftian adventure all in one? Look no further. Tim Byrd has it for you right here. Doctor Spartacus Wilde and his two kids, Brian and Wren, are plunged into action almost from page one when they learn of the disappearance of Grandpa Wilde. They go from the top of what's obviously the Empire State Building to the South American jungle, tangling with all kinds of weird frogs, not to mention frog-men, along the way…
It's all in good fun, and you should know by now if this is your kind of thing. If it is, you're probably already waiting for the sequels, which should come along very soon.
The whole piece is here.
rating: 3 of 5 stars
Far from King's best. It was an engaging enough story, with some creative (if cartoonish) elements, but if ever there was a book crying out for the Reader's Digest Condensed Book treatment (which is something I generally despise), it was this one. Nearly 800 pages used to tell a story that really should have been told in 300-400 at most. Way too much incidental detail, too much authorial wool-gathering.

PhD defended at:
The thesis- a contribution towards South and Inner Asian Studies- focuses on the socio-political history of the Mon region (Mon yul), compromising Tawang and West Kameng districts in the state of Arunachal Pradesh, India. While exploring the historical development of the region within Tibet and Bhutan during the 16th and 17th centuries, the work examines how the region, also known simply as Mon, was incorporated into Tibet via an edict issued in 1680 and the subsequent reiteration edict in 1731 by the Lhasa's Tibetan government. The thesis provides an analysis of the term Mon, its etymology and not least its usage on a broader scale. The monograph is based on critical textual research, investigating Tibetan legal documents and the historical texts, including auto-/biographies. A number of those sources are presented along with their annotated translations and the facsimile editions. The detailed study of the region is essential and timely, it is not only offering a historical overview of the region but also a wider context and background for understanding the current Sino-Indian border relations. That relation is very much concentrated on this historical Indo-Tibetan border region.

Welcome to our monthly article focused on Loneliness this month. Being alone and lonely are two different things as we discuss below. While some of us are craving solitude at this time of year, some of us are faced with the crippling despair of loneliness even as we are surrounded by friends and family. Building a deep connection to yourself, knowing who you are and what's important to you can be helpful in alleviating loneliness. You can have hundreds of friends on social media, in the office and a loving family yet still feel desperately lonely. It's about building a relationship to yourself and nurturing meaningful relationships that resonate with you.
Mid-life Loneliness
The monk, Thich Nhat Hanh coined the term 'interbeing' to describe how nothing can exist alone. Everything lives in relation to all things yet at times we human beings can feel disconnected, lonely and isolated. As a child we can remember the state of being connected to everything and finding peace in just being. Yet we become more and more disconnected to that energy as we grow up and learn how to 'adult' in the world but many of us by the time we reach our late 30s or 40s feel something is missing, we feel disconnected, lost, unable to relate to the world around us and deep sense of discontentment, loneliness and not belonging.
The world has never been so connected and fragmented at the same time. Modern life means we live far away from our friends and families, spend long hours at work or traveling for work and living isolated from our neighbours and local communities. More and more our interactions with one another are being supplanted by machines, we can do almost everything with our devices from ordering food to our banking, when before there used to be a human being that you would interact with. Life has become more connected yet de-personalised at the same time and loneliness is on the rise.
Loneliness is an evolutionary signal that makes you feel fearful and unsafe which is a natural response to not having a community around to protect you back in the days when living in the wild was really unsafe. It's these feelings of fear and lack of safety that increase the stress hormones cortisol in your body which creates inflammation and can manifest in other diseases in the body. Loneliness literally kills us if not by a predator finding us in the forest then at home alone.
Embark on a 28 day journey to becoming more present in your everyday life
Being Alone Vs Being Lonely
Yet being alone and being lonely are two different things. Being alone can feel depressing, sad and draining or it can feel peaceful, restorative or creative. So what is loneliness if it's not defined by the number of people in your life or external factors?
Loneliness is nothing to do with the external world around us, it is to do with an internal state mind and the problem with that is that changing your internal state can be very difficult due to past conditioning, mental illnesses such as depression or other factors. A retired pensioner who lives alone could be very happy everyday reading books, tending to the garden and never feel lonley but a 30 year old woman who interacts with her colleagues in the office everyday and has family at home could be feeling desperately lonely despite the perceived levels of social interaction.
Quality over Quantity of Connections
What needs to be considered is the difference between what your desired level of social connection is and what your actual level of social interaction is. The relationships you have with those around you may mean nothing if the people around you can't relate to you and are not on the same 'wavelength.' Finding your tribe is incredibly important, as is understanding that people change and evolve so the friends you had at 15 may not be great for you at 35. Many of us feel compelled to remain friends with people just because of the length of time you've known each other rather than look at the depth of that connection. Then there are people that you just meet and instantly click with and it feels like you've been friends forever. Having the sense of belonging, feeling accepted for who you are and an affinity to people you can relate to are key to building meaningful connections.
However, sometimes the problem lies with us, something has hurt us deeply in the past that we avoid intimacy and never become vulnerable protecting ourselves at all costs, creating shallow relationships and the feeling that something deeper is missing. We fear not being loved if we express our wants and needs or we fear being abandoned or hurt. Ironically, becoming vulnerable allows us to receive love and connect with others. Being who you truly are attracts your crowd, you may lose some connections along the way but those were meant to be lost. When we share with others who we truly are, not only does it help it us it attracts our kindred spirits and allows other people to be who they truly are too.
So what are the key things to do when the feeling of loneliness arises?
1) When things go wrong having support from friends, family or a trusted therapist are key so that you know that you're not alone in dealing with whatever it is you're faced with.
2) Creating a meaningful relationship with yourself and having a sense of connection to who you are and being present to the key relationships in your life. A regular yoga, meditation or HASIKO practice helps you with this.
3) Anyone can feel lonely but certain groups of people can feel lonely so finding people in a similar life situation for you to connect with is useful.
4) Being yourself attracts your crowd while trying to fit in with others can exacerbate loneliness.
5) Be open to connections and conversations on your daily routine, say hello and smile to those that you meet in your day, oftentimes we are the ones that are blocking our energy from a meaningful conversation.
6) Practice being as present as you can with everything around you and within you. Connecting to the present moment allows you to appreciate the beauty around you and also switch off your fight and flight mode of worrying. As a gift, we have created a 28 day journey of presence that will deepen your connection to the present moment

Collection: CLEANSING KIT
Kisses from Heaven would like to wish you all a HAPPY SPRING! Congratulations on making it through the winter! Our Mother Earth is now awakening from her slumber, providing rain to the trees, flower buds and seedlings allowing them to grow, repopulate and provide food for the animals, insects and even us, continuing the circle of life.
This is the season that inspires us to commit to evolving into our best selves. We may have past beliefs that need releasing to create space and give birth to new ideas, new perspectives and new relationships. Let's spring forward and engage in "Spring Cleaning" or as Kisses From Heaven likes to call it, "Spring Cleansing." We can cleanse the energy in our homes by organizing, getting rid of clutter and donating items that our space no longer needs. We can cleanse the energy in our lives by burning sacred herbs, using oils and mists, and indulging in self-care.
Don't fret, Kisses From Heaven has the perfect solution to help you get rid of stagnant energies in your home, office, car and aura with our cleansing kit!
We are offering you our CLEANSING KIT for only $60!! It includes a Sacred Herbs, an Abalone Shell, a Reiki Mist and a FREE Affirmation Bath Bomb with FREE HOME DELIVERY all across GTA!
The Cleansing Kit Includes:
💮 One Sacred Herbs. This a unique blend of pure organic Californian white sage infused with natural French Lavender, Holy Frankincense and Myrrh which have been specifically formulated to cleanse negative energies around you and bring in positive energy. It's like taking an energetic shower or undertaking a metaphysical cleanse.
Directions: Light the Sacred Herbs in an abalone shell and let them burn to release smoke into the air. Then you can start the process of clearing your space. The smoke from the dried herbs changes the iconic composition of the air which has a direct effect on reducing stress so we recommend saying a mantra "Any lower energies, you do not belong here, release deep into mother earth and never come back, only good and positive energies reside here". Make sure you have a door or a window open so that the smoke and the energies will be released and feel the energetic shift within yourself and your sacred space.
💮 One Abalone Shell. These natural shells are made of iridescent colours and are often referred to as "Mother of Pearl." Each shell possesses a strong emotional bond with the Earth and its healing capabilities bring peace, love, calm and harmony to one's life. These shells are just the perfect fit to safely burn sage and Sacred Herbs.
💮 One Small Reiki Mist. We like to call it, "Sage on the Go!"
Do you ever find it a challenge to burn your beautiful White Sage everywhere you go? Reiki Mist aims to clear dense and negative energies from your surroundings by replacing them with positive energy, filled with love and light.

I'm not much of a Museum person, but I visit the odd one once in a blue moon.
I like art; it's just not on the top of my to do list.
by chance, I saw some of Ron Mueck's work in Kanazawa, Japan.
He Rocks!!
Unbelievable stuff. Life like? I wouldn't have been surprised if the pieces got up and started walking around. I'm not easily impressed, but this stuff was freaky real: faces, bodies, even the soles of the feet were amazing.
If you have a chance, take a look at his stuff in the flesh. Photos just don't do it justice.
This is a link to more info and great photos of Ron Mueck's work.

"Oh jeez… okay… oh man, Rick! What is this place?"
"We're in the Death *uuurp* Star Morty, now put this on before we get caught?"
I am thrilled to show you my very first design, titled: Stormtrooper Morty. It is a soft enamel pin made by MadeByCooper. The pin is 40mm=1.57 inches tall. It sits on a titled card and is put inside a thin plastic cover to help protect it during shipping.
Why did I choose soft enamel for this pin? Soft enamel sits further back into the metal cut out and provides depth I feel needed for this piece for the wording, Stormtrooper armor, and background.
I have a couple other designs set up and in the works. I am hoping to sell enough of these guys to get the funding to get all of the other projects up and running.

Madeleine McCann search given £154,000 boost to continue into next year
THE Home Office has given Scotland Yard £154,000 to continue the search for Madeleine McCann.
More than £11 million has been spent on Operation Grange, the probe to find the girl, who vanished aged three from the family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal in May 2007.
Her parents Kate and Gerry McCann, of Rothley, Leicestershire, are said to be encouraged that "there remains work to be done that requires extra funding".
The McCanns have vowed to never give up hope of finding their daughter Madeleine McCann.
The investigation will continue into next year because of the cash injection.
Madeleine McCann has been missing since 2007
A Home Office spokesman said: "Following an application from the Metropolitan Police, the Home Office has confirmed funding for Operation Grange until the end of March 2018.
"As with all applications, the resources required are reviewed regularly and careful consideration is given before any funding is allocated."
Since 2011, the Met Police have been assisting with the search for clues about what happened to Madeleine, with officers visiting the holiday resort in 2014.
But the number of detectives working on the case was cut from 29 to four in 2015.
Kate and Gerry McCann have vowed to do everything they can to find their daughter
It is understood the number of officers working on the investigation will remain the same.
The Portuguese police closed their investigation 15 months after Madeleine's disappearance.
But the Metropolitan Police requested more money from the Government "to pursue a final line of inquiry".
Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley previously said: "We have a significant line of inquiry which is worth pursuing and because it's worth pursuing it could provide an answer - but until we've gone through it I won't know whether we are going to get there or not."
Scotland Yard wants to pursuit one final line of inquiry
In March, the Home Office granted officers £85,000 to cover "operational costs" to continue with the investigation, between April and September this year.
Speaking ahead of the decision earlier this year, the family spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: "Kate and Gerry are extremely thankful to the Metropolitan Police for requesting extra funding.
"They are very encouraged there remains work to be done that requires them seeking an extra budget. "They are hoping, naturally, it will be granted.
"They are grateful to all those officers who are still working on the case and are actively looking for Madeleine.
"They appreciate everything the police have done and are doing to get a resolution after all this time."

More than a half-year after Gov. Larry Hogan declined to join other governors in supporting an international pact to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, he's reversed course.
When President Donald Trump in June controversially withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Accord, a global agreement between hundreds of countries to reduce their emissions, a dozen states formed the so-called U.S. Climate Alliance, agreeing to uphold the pact's mission even if Trump wouldn't. However, when activists and state pushed the governor to join, he declined.
But in a letter sent to Climate Alliance director Julie Cerqueira yesterday (published by The Sun), Hogan wrote, "I now intend to commit Maryland to participation in the U.S. Climate Alliance. Over the course of 2018, we will share our insights, experiences, and strategies in meeting and excelling beyond the requirements of the Paris climate accord and the Clean Power Plan."
Maryland is already on track to cut its emissions by 25 percent by 2020, Hogan noted, and has set a goal to further cut them by 40 percent by 2030. By comparison, members of the alliance hope to lower their emissions by 24 to 29 percent of 2005 levels within the next eight years.
The governor's office defended his record on clean energy policy last summer. In an email to Baltimore Fishbowl, a spokeswoman noted he signed into law the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act, which sets that more stringent target of a 40-percent cut by 2030, and that Maryland had already entered into regional partnerships focused on reducing emissions.
In his Wednesday letter, Hogan said Trump's withdrawal decision "was not a decision I would have made," and "that continues to be my position."
At least two Dems competing to run against Hogan for governor this year criticized his decision as a political one.

This is a political calculation, pure and simple. If we are going to make a better Maryland, we need a Gov who leads without having to wait on a poll. As Gov, I will do what I have always done: be a leader on the issues because it's the right thing to do https://t.co/zHkdyCMe1I
— Rich Madaleno (@RichMadaleno) January 11, 2018
Mitch Jones, senior policy advocate for the nonprofit Food and Water Watch, told Baltimore Fishbowl Hogan's decision to join the alliance of states months later "demonstrates primarily that Governor Hogan is able to read polls."
"In an election year, he's taking a move that he thinks will allow him to proclaim an environmental agenda without having to do anything that's really aggressive in the way that we need the state to do," he said. "We need much more from [Hogan's administration] if Maryland's gonna be a leader on fighting climate change."
Maryland is now the 16th state to agree to join the U.S. Climate Alliance. Only two other Republican governors–Charlie Baker in Massachusetts and Vermont's Phil Scott–have signed on. Nearby Virginia and Delaware both joined last summer.

Salesforce has launched Salesforce Essentials, a collection of intelligent apps targeting small and mid-sized businesses.
Built on the Salesforce Lightning framework, Essentials offers a consumer-like experience optimized for any device. Relevant information is displayed on one unified console, and Lightning enables drag-and-drop customization, CRM Buyer reports.
"There are more than 125 million small businesses around the world all working toward one common goal -- growth," said Mike Rosenbaum, EVP, CRM Applications, Salesforce. "With Essentials, we've taken the full power of Salesforce and tailored it for the unique needs of small businesses. Essentials is easy to set up and us -- and it's future-proof, so small businesses can add new capabilities quickly and easily as they grow."
Sixty-six percent of the SMB staff who participated in Salesforce research indicated they were personally responsible for at least three areas of their business, noted Marie Rosecrans, SVP for SMB marketing at Salesforce.
Only 26 percent of their organizations had one or more in-house IT staff, "making it difficult to implement new technologies," she told CRM Buyer.
"Essentials is easy to try, set up, use and maintain, making it possible for every small business to tap into the power of the Salesforce Platform," Rosecrans said.
"Salesforce started as a product for SMBs," recalled Rebecca Wettemann, VP of research at Nucleus Research.
"Essentials brings it back to its roots," she told CRM Buyer.
However, Salesforce Essentials caps the number of users, Wettemann pointed out, "so larger enterprises looking for a more streamlined -- or cost-effective -- Service or Sales Cloud license from Salesforce won't find it in Essentials."
Sales Cloud Essentials, with the Lightning Sales Console, gives sales reps a complete view of customers, including activity history, key contacts, customer communications, and internal account discussion in one place. This information is accessible from any device using the Salesforce Mobile App.
Sales Cloud Essentials also offers reports and dashboards.
Service Cloud Essentials lets small service teams set up help desks instantly in order to provide faster, more personalized customer service.
Service Cloud Essentials Demo
The Lightning Service Console gives service agents a 360-degree view of customer interactions in one unified desktop view, regardless of how customers reach out -- through email, phone, Twitter or Facebook. The Service Cloud Mobile app lets agents provide personalized service from anywhere.
Salesforce Essentials incorporates Einstein Activity Capture, which automatically adds relevant emails and calendar information to the appropriate records in Salesforce.
All captured messages provide a history of engagement, so sales people have the necessary context to work with customers.
Customers can use the Small Business Hub on the AppExchange to access apps that integrate with Essentials.
"This offering by Salesforce packages a suite of commonly needed solutions for SMBs at one price point," noted Cindy Zhou, principal analyst at Constellation Research.
"I am a fan of this type of packaging, which makes the customers' lives easier from a cost and administrative perspective," she told CRM Buyer.
Trailhead, Salesforce's free online learning platform, provides setup wizards and other tools for using Essentials.
Trailhead-driven setup "is the real killer feature," Nucleus' Wettemann said. It cuts the time and expertise needed to deploy Sales and Service Cloud by more than 50 percent.
"The price point's appropriate for the package of solutions SMBs will receive," Zhou said. "Buying all these solutions individually would be costlier and require more administrative effort, where SMBs are typically resource-challenged."
Essentials "is the same trusted CRM platform used by 83 percent of Fortune 500 companies, optimized for small businesses," Salesforce's Rosecrans noted.
There are six apps in the Salesforce Small Business Hub: Hellosign for Salesforce; Xactly Incent Express; Slack; Dropbox for Salesforce; Mailchimp for Salesforce; and CodeScience.
Taken together they enable sellers to track, manage, and market to customers, Zhou said. For internal enablement, some of them also "provide SMBs the ability to manage post-deal incentive competition."
Users of older Salesforce applications may have to gear up for the future.

Never get used to operating with huge cash
Seniors are said to be very successful individuals since they are financially stable. But where do seniors get their money from? There are two sources that can be used to explain the reasons why seniors are said to be wealthy and financially stable. Firstly, seniors are people who are basically aged 55 and above and with this number of years, they must have worked, invested and accrued a substantive amount of wealth. Secondly, seniors who have worked for a long period are known to receive a hefty amount of pension that comes on monthly basis. But that is not what we are interested in here. Our interest here is what to do with wealth that are kept in terms of cash.
Reason why you need not to convert all your wealth into cash
Holding a huge amount of cash increased chances of being tempted to spend. Considering that seniors might have worked for a very long period of time and have been longing for that day when they will retire and spend; keeping a lot of cash might lead one astray when the urge to spend sets in. For example, if you have just retired and you have huge cash at your disposal, you might be tempted to spend without proper reasons. In order to avoid spending money without reasoning, then it is important to avoid holding or keeping a lot of cash. Keep in mind the money you save on medicare advantage plans is more money in your pocket.
Secondly, holding a huge amount of cash at your disposal is very risky in the sense that anything can happen. "Anything" in this case could mean theft, burglary and break in. It is very crucial therefore to ensure that you hold a small amount in cash then keep the rest in soft cash. Soft cash could be spend as credit cards or even mobile payments. Liquid cash is very important as you will be saved from uncertainties such as theft and burglary.
Thirdly, it is very easy for seniors to manage their finances when they are in form of cash in the bank and not cash in the pocket. With that idea in mind, if you are a senior who is about to retire or have already retired, then you need to make sure that you only keep that cash which will be spend on things that require cash. It is better to utilize your debit and credit cards in order to avoid issues related to burglary and other form of loses.
