Report Overview SAP Services in India has grown by leaps and bounds in the past decade giving rise to umpteen numbers of clients adopting the enterprise software and gaining benefits beyond visibility. The intangible benefits by adoption have been the driving force behind SAP's rise to the top of enterprise software segment across the globe. But the price factor has always pinched the company especially in emerging markets. Nonethe- less, this factor has not stopped students from taking up SAP has a profession given the fact that it is prom- ised to pay high returns on investment in the talent market. The notion of SAP employment and stability in careers has slowly dipped across volume based mod- ules like ABAP, Basis, FICO and companies are finding it very easy to adopt a hire-and-fire approach. The emergence of temporary staffing companies has definitely provided some relief to the companies but the employee market suggests an entirely different story line. Employees prefer a permanent payroll and career growth looks more stable with the same. But the niche modules have still displayed an upper hand and have had the companies lurking in the dark with clients breathing down their necks. The development of cross skilling has provided companies with the opportunity to relax certain aspects and hire the required individual/s. Training ecosystem for SAP Services in India has seen the rise of unauthorized training centers and provided an opportunity for candidates to train who have a shoe-string budget but SAP has made it clear that such students cannot apply for certification unless they are trained from the authorized training centers. Captives/GICs have also groomed SAP talent although miniscule; the talent housed here is looked out as potentially hirable by the head hunting agen- cies. Undoubtedly, it is Bangalore that leads the pack in India for SAP Services and continues to do so with major companies housing their talent in the city and looking to expand accordingly.

To understand the complex ecosystem in which the SAP services operates, we conducted a detailed perception survey. The survey focused on understanding the major decision influencers, the needs and demands of the relevant talent ecosys- tem. We conducted an in-depth analysis of the SAP services talent currently available in the market at the same time taking into consideration priorities, growth prospects, and needs. Using proprietary talent pool assessment and analysis framework, we identified the talent suitable for the SAP Service industry with particular skills, overall maturity, and prior experience in the similar industry.

For years now I've read about these restaurants and shows you can go to where they purposely drop things and do things to make you laugh so I was super excited when I found out that The Play That Goes Wrong was coming to the Theatre Royal Brighton!
I love a good Comedy and the show actually featured in the 2015 Royal Variety Performance so if it's good enough for the royals then it's good enough for me!
What's it about?
The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society are putting on a 1920s murder mystery play called The Murder At Haversham Manor but as the title of the shows suggests, not everything goes to plan!
From the outset things went wrong! I didn't realise and I'm sure most of the packed out audience didn't realise that the show had actually started, when what looked like to be the theatre runners (people who move the props around in between scenes) came on stage to get things ready, before the lights would dim and the show start but no! The comedy started straight away with a hilarious scene featuring Gabriel Paul and Catherine Dryden and it also involved a member of the audience getting involved (don't worry that was the only part of audience participation)
Perkins (the butler) played by Benjamin McMahon was probably my favourite character! At times he reminded me of a young Lee Evans and was truly hilarious! The awkwardness of his character and how he messed up every scene was comic to watch!
Another highlight for me was the character Florence Colleymore played by understudy Laura White! The character kept having 'episodes' which were so OTT the entire audience were in stitches – Florence also ended up getting herself knocked out several times throughout the show and got herself into some tricky situations!
The scene featuring the deceased Charles Haversham played by Steven Constance literally made my sides hurt! I had a look on YouTube and the scene shown at the Royal Variety performance was this exact one (with a different cast) you really should check it out!
The entire cast were excellent! It must be so difficult to be so bad! Some of the scenes involved the cast getting there lines mixed up and saying lines the wrong way round which to me would be impossible to do! So my hat goes off to each of the actors involved for putting on such a great show and making that audience laugh so much!
In my reviews I normally talk about the staging and what high tech wizardry was used during the show to make it look so amazing, and this shows review isn't any different! The time and planning which must have gone into getting the shows tricks and disasters in place must have been huge! Also I noticed timing was key during the 'mistakes' so when someone would walk in, something would happen etc. and from what I could see it all went wrong so right!
This has been an odd one to review, as I'm essentially saying how great a show which was full of error and disaster was! But that's what it is! It's The Play That Goes Wrong which it certainly did and I would 100% recommend this as one to watch! Definitely suitable for families (it's not rude, it's more slap stick and LOL)
The Play That Goes Wrong is at the Theatre Royal Brighton until Saturday 1st September 2018 with shows at 7.30pm every evening, and matinees Thursday and Saturday at 2.30pm. Click HERE to book your tickets and don't miss The Play That Goes Wrong!
If you do end up seeing the show and loving it as much as I did! You'll be happy to know that the creators of The Play That Goes Wrong have another show coming to the Theatre Royal Brighton in November called The Comedy About A Bank Robbery which I can't wait to see!

text: A series of 20Ni-Mg-Al hydrotalcite-like (HT) precursors were prepared to study the influence of lanthanum (La) on the catalytic activity of the catalysts in the dry reforming of methane (DRM). The catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR). All catalysts presented ordered mesoporous structures with a large specific surface area. XRD confirmed the presence of HT structure for all of the precursors while the La promotion resulted in an additional phase of Lanthanum carbonate hydroxide. TPR study showed larger reduction degree for the catalysts but also reduction peaks that are shifted to higher temperatures. DRM reactions at 600 and 750°C revealed that the DRM activity was increased by the addition of La, while the stability of the catalysts was reduced at 600°C.

A dressage competition at the Rodbaston campus of South Staffordshire College on Saturday attracted over 50 entries much to the delight of the organisers who raised over £600 for the local Penkridge & District Community First Responders.
Riders included both those new to the event plus those with more experience bringing young horses for valuable competition practice.
Event planner, Dee Rogers said First Responders are volunteers in our local communities trained to deal with life threatening situations in the vital first few minutes after heart attacks or other serious trauma until the arrival of an emergency ambulance. Although trained by West Midlands Ambulance service, cfr teams are charities that have to raise funds for all their equipment and running costs.
Leigh Rogers, responder co-ordinator said A great deal of time and effort was put into organising this event and I would like to thank the college who kindly allowed us free use of the arena and everyone who helped or took part, as well as local businesses who donated prizes. Although our team has most of the vital medical equipment we need, we are very desperate to find money for essential basics like insurance and petrol. In fact Saturdays event is literary a life saver for our team and the people we respond to in the Penkridge area!

Dr Yonghong Zhang was a DPhil Student in Oxford, under the supervision of Prof Tao Dong and Prof Sarah Rowland-Jones. After completing his DPhil, he moved to China where he is currently Vice-director of the Scientific Research Department and Director of the Research Center for Biomedical Resources at Beijing You'an Hospital.
The Nuffield Department of Medicine engages with many countries around the world in a variety of ways, including: NDM's academics co-authoring papers with collaborators across the world; conducting research projects overseas; collaborative research centres and laboratories; a subsidiary company office in Beijing; and the department's own Tropical Medicine units in Kenya and Southeast Asia.
Q: Why did you choose to come to Oxford to do a DPhil?
YH: Because ten years ago I was a physician working in Beijing You'An Hospital which is the number one hospital specialising in infectious diseases in China, so I had time to think about, and feel interested about, the interaction between HIV and immunology. As we all know, Oxford University is the best in this field, so that's the first reason why I selected Oxford University to study. Secondly, in 2003 during the epidemic of SARS, Prof Tao Dong and Dr XiaonNing Xu travelled to China and we got a great chance to communicate together. They've given me a lot of help in how to organise my thinking and how to apply to study in Oxford. So finally I realised my dream, and I came to Oxford to be a student of DPhil.
Q: What have you taken away from your experience of working here?
YH: So many things! In Oxford I've learnt a lot. From basic knowledge in immunology to performing scientific research, troubleshooting, organise thinking, so many things. Also I was able to set up a very unique cohort in China during my study, in collaboration with Prof Tao Dong, which is unique because this is a commercial HIV donation cohort in China. The patients were infected with HIV at a very similar time, around 1995. Also the virus is similar: it's the same sub-type. So it's a really great model to perform scientific research in the co-operation between HIV mutation and CTL pressure. So I think my study in Oxford not only helped me build up my ability in scientific research but also helped me build up the basis of my career.
Q: Can you tell us about your contacts and collaborations with NDM?
YH: Since I graduated I moved back to China. President Li Ning wanted to set up a translational and clinical research platform and I was selected to be the Director of Research Centre for Biomedical Resources. Since then we set up the biggest biobank focusing on infectious disease in China and we began to set up the collaboration with the University of Oxford, for example we continue to collaborate with my supervisor Tao Dong in HIV and TB co-infection I also collaborate with my supervisor Professor Sarah Rowland-Jones in HIV infection and with Professor Andrew McMichael in emerging infectious disease, for example flu H1N1. We also collaborate with David Worrall and Chris Conlon in the training course. Since I graduated there are so many collaborations and contacts with Oxford we set up together.

Recently we have been looking to update my vehicle. We've been researching (and if you know my husband you know this is a HUGE project: must. research. everything.) and trying to make up our minds on wants and needs, and just plain like-to-haves. Of course price is also a factor, along with color, because I will NOT drive another maroon vehicle, I WON'T I WON'T I WON'T!!
Researching has led us to a few car dealers and with car dealers come car salesman. I have nothing against a salesman, my dad works sales, my husband used to work in sales and friends have worked in sales. Selling and being good at selling things is a job and a talent. Not everyone can be nice to everyone who steps up to their business. Being a good salesman means being a proficient actor. However, in our research I have come across people who I can definitely say are not good salesmen. (Yes, I said Men)
I am getting rid of a van, a mini van. I may or may not get another one, but that isn't the point of this post. Here is the point:
If you are a salesman and a husband and a wife come in, driving a van, and talk about purchasing a van or smaller SUV from you, and it is VERY obvious that this vehicle is going to be a vehicle for the wife, then I would recommend to you that you actually make eye contact with the wife, you should speak to the wife, you should find out what the wife wants, and you should behave as though the wife is actually in the same universe as you are. As the wife I have the power to completely refuse to buy a vehicle from you, there goes your commission. I would also recommend that you don't poo-poo what the wife deems important and not important in a vehicle. Once again, I have the power to refuse to buy a vehicle from you, and I will do it in a heartbeat.
We have a salesman we have dealt with for years, and although he is 120 miles away he has the salesman touch down pat. When he calls or when we stop by, guess who he talks to AS MUCH AS or more than he talks to my husband. That would be me. He realizes that in order to get a sale, I need to be convinced, and I need to know that what I want is what's important. I know he doesn't give a flying fig what my life is really like, he doesn't care how my family is, or what I will be using the vehicle for, but he acts like he does, and he listens when I speak. After I have said what I want/don't want, he doesn't show us things or recommend things that don't have what I want/don't want. Overall he's making me feel like my time is valuable and he's not going to waste it.
So to all you salesman I have dealt with recently who were more interested in Hubby's opinion and his thoughts and to the few of you who were more interested in my chest size, there is a very specific reason I am not buying a vehicle from you, and the reason is you. Get a new job because you are not going to make it as a salesman.

Netflix revealed its first teaser trailer for their live-action Death Note movie.
Netflix describes the film:
What if you had the power to decide who lives and who dies?
We suggest you obey the rules. Based on the famous Japanese manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, Death Note follows a high school student who comes across a supernatural notebook, realizing it holds within it a great power; if the owner inscribes someone's name into it while picturing their face, he or she will die. Intoxicated with his new godlike abilities, the young man begins to kill those he deems unworthy of life.
The movie is being directed by Adam Wingard (You're Next). Nat Wolff (Paper Towns) stars as Light, Lakeith Stanfield (Get Out) as L, and Willem Dafoe (Boondock Saints) as Ryuk. Death Note premieres exclusively on Netflix August 25th.

Day 6
So last night I was reading an Independent article called 'Ryan Gosling's Golden Globes speech about Eva Mendes wasn't cute, it was sexist.'- and OMG you should have seen those reader comments… I was like:
Anyway, it got me wondering how the writer, Narjas Zatat , is responding to all the vicious attacks on her writing; because I definitely know how I would feel if I were in her place:
Writing is such an intimate process. In fact, I can only think of two other experiences that are more intimate. The first is giving birth to my daughter, and the second…well you can guess the second.
Think it of it this way: writers open up their minds and deepest thoughts and feelings to the public. Like who in their right mind would do that? If everyone started to express what's really on their mind, things would start to get weird very quickly. Imagine that Erika Mitchell (the author of Fifty Shades of Grey, in case you were wondering) didn't write her ideas but just spoke about them:
(Erika out for a coffee with BFF Samantha)
Erika: So lately I've been thinking a lot about sex, and whips. Lots of whips, and chains Then there's this hot man and more sex. Sometimes it's violent, but sometimes it's really quite cute. I kind of like it.
But for some reason, if you write those same ideas on paper, it's suddenly not creepy anymore. Better yet if you get paid to write them down, because social validation is everything these days…
Erika: Oh no. It's for this book I'm writing. It's actually really about emotions and deep stuff.
Samantha: Ohh. Now, that makes perfect sense. Because there's a huge difference between thinking about something weird and writing about it. *Turns away*
Can someone please explain to me why creepy thoughts are only creepy if they stay inside your head. But as soon as they become part of the world of tangible things, people view them as deep and thought provoking or something to be analysed and studied?
Anyway, this is the reason why writers can get very emotionally attached to their own work. You're essentially giving strangers permission to take a stroll inside your head and when someone doesn't like what they find, it's hard to not take it personally. Because nothing could be more personal to you than your thoughts on paper.
The trick is with being a writer is how to be true to yourself without revealing too much about yourself. But this is easier said than done. Some writers don't see this as a problem. But I personally, tend to get very paranoid about what people would think of me if I wrote something taboo or out of character. Like there are certain things that I just don't want my mum to know I think about. This is what I picture in my head, when I contemplate writing something a bit naughty:
Seriously, am I the only one who thinks writers are a bit creepy for sharing the kind of things they do?

Think back to your last holiday. How much time did you spend on social media? A few hours? A few minutes? Perhaps you shunned the online world completely? For some of us travel is an escape. For others, it's a chance to share experiences with the world.
Take Edgar for example. He's a young travel blogger and photographer from the Philippines. Edgar spends three to four hours a day on social media when he's travelling. He sees it as an indispensable way to communicate with his followers in real time for travel suggestions and tips. Every step of the way, Edgar goes to great lengths to document his adventures.
Based on our Traveller Tribes 2030 research - he's definitely a Social Capital Seeker.
Edgar is all about finding new scenery to shoot and new content to share. Social Capital Seekers like Edgar want to share every step of their travels and they are also heavily influenced by their social media connections.
Interaction with their followers will be very important for this tribe and they will often ask for guidance on their trips: 'do you want to visit the museum or go to watch a football match?' The traveller's followers will vote and watch what happens next. This interactivity will be one of the most important activities for Social Capital Seekers on their trips.
Have a look at this video where Edgar describes in more depth how being connected to social media influences his travels.
So the next time you're on the go, do take a note on the time you spend on social media. For all you know, like Edgar you may be the next 'Social Capital Seeker'
For more about the traveller types set to influence the industry in the coming years – check out our Traveller Tribes 2030 reports and be sure to watch more traveller stories at the Amadeus Travel Lounge.

Teaching Blog Addict is hosting a Summer Workshop called Yummy Learning Activities (teaching with food). Here is an activity that I did last year when I taught 1st grade. One of the stories in my students' anthologies was If You Give a Pig a Pancake by Laura Numeroff.
One of the activities that we did to go along with this story was to write about pancakes using the 5 senses. I bought a box of mini pancakes at Costco and gave each student one to eat with syrup drizzled over the top. Before they ate them we brainstormed adjectives to describe how they looked, smelled, and sounded. Then I let them eat them with their fingers. While they ate they called out adjectives that described how the pancakes felt and tasted. I kept a chart on the board with the 5 senses and the adjectives that my students came up with. After washing their hands, of course, my students used the words on the board and the writing paper below to write about their pancakes.
My students loved this activity. Of course they did…they got to eat something sweet and be messy! Meanwhile, I got some great writing assignments out of them!!!

Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman is set to receive a Billboard Live Music award.
Lyman is getting the award for his work with FEND, his anti-opioid initiative.
Read more: Someone knew: Kevin Lyman responds to opioid-related deaths
After years of working alongside non-profits at Warped Tour, Lyman launched FEND earlier this year as an app. The name stands for Full Energy No Drugs, which is an anti-opioid initiative.
"Traveling the country the last few years," Lyman explained during the launch event, "the stories always drift to opioids. I've always been the person [to] jump in and try [to help]…the FEND app is educational. It's always about education to me. There's just no education out there; we're just starting to play catch-up now on the opioid epidemic and crisis."
The goal of the app is to educate young people about the opioid crisis, as well as promote engagement and empathy.
"My hope for this project is [for it] to become like what the Truth movement was for smoking," he continued. "That this becomes a nationwide movement [with] lots of people involved, everyone working toward saving lives."
Now, Billboard is recognizing Lyman's work with FEND. Lyman is receiving the Humanitarian Award for the app and its use of gamification to warn the youth about the dangers of prescription drug abuse.
The Warped Tour founder award is part of the Billboard Live Music Awards, alongside artists and industry names such as Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Sharon Osbourne.

- Establish and attend Steering Committee Meetings
- Facilitate Project Scoping Sessions
- Facilitate Requirements Elicitation Sessions
- Procurement Management
Project Overview
Mayfran, a global leader in providing solutions for manufacturing scrape management, engaged us for an ERP software search. The company was relying on a legacy order entry system enhanced through custom built bolt-on solutions and integrated third party software. The system left many pain points in the overall business operation that lead to inefficiency and error. Although the need for technological transformation was clear to the IT Manager, the need to implement a modern ERP was less clear to many employees who had long tenure at Mayfran.
The Provato Group lead the collaborative process of documenting current business processes by facilitating scoping sessions with SMEs across the organization. High level process flows were described and pain points were identified. Specific pain points were selected as MVP processes, which were then analyzed during requirements elicitation sessions to streamline the core operations. At this point the organization agreed on the need for improvement, and were ready to critique various software solutions with the target workflows in mind. Moreover, the information that was collected and documented served potential vendors in competing for the business.
The Results
The organization was able to evaluate more than 20 vendors based on the specific needs of the organization. Through each step of procurement analysis the qualified list of vendors was condensed until the final few were invited to demonstrate their software. With the final two potential vendors having been identified, Mayfran was able to negotiate a favorable contract. The implementation project began with the organization unified, and ready to take on the challenge with a vendor that together they had identified as the best fit for the organization.

We open to the clicking and ticking of a billion clocks. We see a house with shitty inventions that don't work. The toast is burnt and dog food slops on the floor, making me sick. The place looks like a hoarder's house. The home of Doctor Emmett L Brown.
Marty walks in and we hear some lines likely dubbed in a studio. We conveniently see the plutonium box doc has forgot to take with him to the Twin Pines Mall parking lot – but I guess comes back to get. Doc's experiment to set his clocks behind 25 minutes is stupid. I would have cussed him. "You old idiot, don't ever fucking do that shit again." But Marty just hangs up and pulls some wild skateboard moves. 80s!
The principal Strickland shoves Marty and insults his dad. That would have gotten him slugged if he pulled either one of those on me. Huey Lewis cameo. He supposedly has a big one.
We see Jennifer's massive camel toe and every bit of a nutsack on Parkinson's. They sit down to kiss and an old LOUD lady comes up and screams "Save the clock tower" at the worst mind. Clockblocker. I would slap the can of coins out of her hand. "That's the power of love!"
Biff wrecks George's car because George didn't tell him about the blind spot. He pours a bowl of peanut brittle. Nasty. The 80s look so nasty and cheap.
So Doc does his time machine thing. Also, he almost kills himself thanks to the standing in the path shit. It's coming at them at 88 miles per hour and it vanishes about 6 feet before them. So uh, would you have stood there? No. The license plate falls off for no reason. Marty and Doc are just cut-and-pasted on top of the fire image. No effort-special effects.
Doc says he's going 25 years into the future from 1985. He'd arrive in 2010. The dumb dog warns them of the terrorists. We hear some gun sounds from maybe 1930. Marty goes back to 1955 because that's the last date doc explained.
His car is mistaken for a space ship. Really? He's shot at twice. Lucky for him, the shotgun spread (that appears to be fired from 3 feet away by the bullet holes) misses twice.
Marty orders a Pepsi because product placement. Biff is angry that George eats in that diner. Then he goes to peep on Marty's mom. Marty is knocked out and his mom looks at his dick. Future Bischoff/Hervey co owner Jason Hervey is at the table. Somehow a kid too stupid not to talk to his own parents in the past knows a street "a mile past Maple" instantly to be John F Kennedy Drive.
Marty meets Doc who is still an idiot. They decide to try to get struck by a lightening bolt in the car instead of getting plutonium. Why don't they just stick the lightening rod on the car and drive 88 mph in a thunderstorm?? They go to the school. Just walk in. "A rhythmic ceremonial ritual"
So Marty manages to kiss his mom and have incestual moments with her, then he gets George and her back together.
Marty hopes Doc will have enough sense to heed his envelope warning, even though he never just blurts out what to do. I would. Doc tears it up before lightning is a dick to them.
Marty makes the smartest realization of the movie and follows it with the dumbest decision he has made yet. I've got all the time I need to save him! I have a time machine! "All right ten minutes oughta do it." What? Seriously? Go a day earlier moron! I agree with Loraine's dad – he's an idiot and his parents are probably idiots too.
Despite slipping on a toilet while hanging a picture less than a week earlier, Doc develops Batman skills and jumps off the top of the court house. Marty makes it despite being insanely late because Deloreans suck and don't start or just die. He also starts the car by head butting the steering wheel, indicating he may be a WWF 80s Samoan.
Red the bum makes an appearance. Now, even though Marty has only ten minutes, he gets out of the car and starts celebrating. The car fucking dies again. And since movie, the Libyans drive right past him!!!! So I swear, he starts chasing them on foot!!! (To the Lone Pine Mall). Somehow Marty goes back in time a lot quicker, it seems, this time. And Doc, knowing he would be shot by an AK-47, still chose to allow it to happen. What if he had been shot in the face? Why would he not just tip some cops off on the terrorists? Maybe he did it to preserve the timeline, but I don't buy that. It was just for another movie surprise.
Finally, we get the ending, which was sort of a tongue in cheek thing not intended to really set up a sequel. Based on the enormous success, though, they just had to do two more…and it being around Marty's kids needing help in the future is entirely idiotic. Just warning him in the past could have fixed it.
Classic movie but still pretty idiotic.

It was back around Christmas time that I first learned about Carcassonne. Being an avid lover of games, I was surprised I had let this game slip under my radar, especially since I thoroughly enjoy Catan. So I wrote it down on my Christmas list. Lo and behold it was gifted to me during one of our gift exchanges, and I was able to explore the game that had peaked my interest.
Learning Carcassonne
Learning Carcassonne can seem very overwhelming at first. As I read through the instructions, I did my best to retain every piece of information I could, and I still had some things wrong! I've found it best to teach people the basic concept of the game and get started. That concept is to use your meeples to compete features and earn points.
Suggested Learning Strategy
Carcassonne is a game that is best learned by simply playing the game. I'd suggest starting off easy and adding difficulty as you learn.
- Tiles – Start off using the single starter title instead of the river starting tiles.
- Rules (Features) – I'd suggest just focusing on scoring points from road, city, and monastery features. Introduce farms at a later point
- Meeples – Start with just the standard Meeples, leave the Abbot in the bag or use it as a scorekeeper (for an extra Meeple!)
As you progress in knowledge add a new rule and see how it changes the game. The beauty of Carcassonne is that you can exclude and add rules as you wish to make a round more challenging or easier. This is especially important in later expansions!
One of the greatest things about Carcassonne, is that it's also very easy to learn. We've taught our nieces and nephew to play the game when we were in Oklahoma, and the youngest was around seven years old at the time.
Final Thoughts
Carcassonne is definitely a basic level game to start. I do remember when we first started playing, we thought you could place a Meeple on any unoccupied feature…we quickly learned that that was not the case!
As you add different expansions it can definitely become a complicated and ruthless game. I have played most of the Z-Man Games expansions so far, and I hope to go into depth on these expansions here shortly.
The first two expansions I would recommend are Expansion 1: Inns and Cathedrals, and Expansion 2: Traders and Builders
I'm planning on rewriting this entire article with a more in-depth review, after I finish my article on Catan! I realize this is lacking a lot of content and don't feel that it's fair to those that have read this!

I was discharged from bankruptcy in 2016 but I have managed to achieve a semi-retired lifestyle thru a strict system of financial goals which I will explain to you. I have helped my ex-wife achieve financial freedom by getting insurance which she has received almost S$1,000,000 in payouts so I do not have to worry about supporting her and my children. During my divorce I gave my half share of my house to her and told her to rent out our HDB flat for regular payments of $2,500 to feed my children so I have the freedom not to worry about my family finances. Nobody has helped me even though my aunt is a millionaire and my mom has a rental HDB which she derive rental income for her retirement, I never take a single cent from them. My brother has a doctorate and he is a lecturer in Nanyang Polytechnic but we could not get along because of her wife which is very money faced. My mom has invested more than S$50,000 for my brother to study in Australia and with his own inheritence of S$65,000, he totally spent all on his overseas education. I will depend on my own skillset of IT trainnng and the use of Internet and Social media to raise funds for the poor and help non profit organisation. Even though I have yet to achieve all my financial goals but along the way I know I will achieve them, it is only a matter of time. I am straight in line for my inheritence of a 4 rm HDB flat which my mother owns and when the right time comes I will have enough monies to do what I want to do. Even though because of my bankruptcy which was recently discharged nobody believes I could do it but I have a system and knowledge how to achieve great amounts of monies, which I will only review when I achieve financial success. So now bear with me as I await all my financial goals and if you are able to help, donate some money thru paypal on my website so I am able to use it to help the poor and non profit organisation.
I do not believe living in a life of luxury and even when I achieve financial success, I will still stay in my 1 room rental flat and spent less than S$1k a month on food. I do not need a lot of monies to sustain myself even though Singapore is such an expensive place to stay. My retirement plans is to accumulate at least S$1 million so I don't have to worry about money when I grow old.
I am writing a book to detail all my hardship and the sacrifice I made until I achieve financial success so that others can follow on the path I has created. There is No Shortcut to Success and if you are looking for a shortcut this book is not for you. There is no guarantee in The New Economy with a Degree in Education you will find success and I have chosen a shortcut method to gain all the neccessary knowledge by taking certificates in various disciplines instead.
I am the Catalyst
I am the Catalyst,
Not a destroyer or a raider,
Not a toppler of governments,
Nor a seller of secrets,
Neither a hacker or code breaker,
But I have developed the tools,
That will help you find your own future,
Of your technologies and products/services,
The solutions of the world,
Whatever information you provide,
I will find you the answers,
And the answers will be as accurate as,
The information you provide,
If your information is flawed so will the answers be,
I have no choice,
In order to reach my goals,
I have to step and cross,
Some unhappy people,
But there is nothing to fear,
I do not steal or take,
Things that do not belong to me,
If I have borrowed I will return with premiums,
The results of my studies,
There is a pie big enough for everyone,
To compete and share,
And develop the next generation of technologies,
To reap what you so

magicians left gibbering and naked
August 16, 2017
I was probably about 11 or 12 when I first saw a picture of Pan, and I was mesmerized by this half goat, half man god. He came to represent all that I searched for in the magical mysteries of "the Pagan", all that I swore ran through my blood and my pre-teen sexuality, as it led down into adolescence. Any depiction of a satyr in a museum would become an icon and a little place of pilgrimage for me.
In esoteric hearsay, stories of Pan's invocation were accompanied with cautionary tales, supposed immorality, foolhardiness, and magicians left gibbering and naked in the morning. I wonder if that still gets trotted out nowadays? I didn't really consider Pan in quite that light, he was my favourite after all, but there was a coldness and a darkness that could accompany the goat foot god, both a loneliness and its answer, along with experiences which might get stereotyped as "enchanting" and "ecstatic". For one period of time in my twenties I would get hurled out of sleep, like out of deep water, in a state of terror. My sister swore, years later, that she had once awoken to hear a large animal on the landing outside our bedrooms, breathing heavily in the middle of the night. It was quite an extreme time in some ways, though very creative.

Koh Laan in Pattaya
Koh Laan is situated at about forty-five minutes from Pattaya Beach and can be reached by long-tail or motorboats. It is the largest surrounding island near Pattaya.
It mainly serves as a local sight-seeing attraction and there are a number of beaches containing excellent seafood stalls and restaurants. Many of these restaurants serve freshly caught sea-food and provide delivery services to selected beach points.
The water is much cleaner and clearer as compared to the main Pattaya Beach and some of the tourist boats have glass-bottoms, enabling tourists to see the varied marine and coral life at the bottom of sea.
The beaches are also used for numerous water-sport activities like diving, wind-surfing, snorkeling, parasailing and water-skiing. Many tourists also enjoy relaxing and getting sun tanned along the relatively peaceful beaches.
Primary beaches of the Island include Hat Ta Phan, Hat Samae and Hat Thong Lang, which are famous for its range of corals.

The South African duo Jono and Lee update us with their results from a summer campaign on the local syndicate
Leigh's Linear Fisheries Dream
17th May 2018
As anglers many of us live by the words, fail to prepare, prepare to fail, we often plan every bit of our session down to the finest detail.
One angler that did this extremely well was Leigh Sinnott. After much homework and planning and preparation Leigh arrived at Linear Fisheries, Manor Farm, where he went on to land the lakes most sought after resident, Kempy's Linear. When we spoke to Leigh this is what he told us: "Upon arrival to the lake I knew exactly where I wanted to be, the swim I had my eyes on was known for producing Kempy's Linear at this time of the year. Unfortunately, when I arrived this swim was already taken, but with the knowledge of when it was due to be vacated, I decided to sit it out and wait for it.
After two nights of being bivvy'd up behind the swim it was finally vacant and ready for me to move into. My first point of call was to target the area that's renowned for producing Kempy's. This was a pronounced gravel hump that was significantly shallower than the surrounding area, however after a quick lead around I decided to fish short of the gravel and instead chose to present my hookbaits in the silt where I had picked up bloodworm on my grappling marker lead.
Initially I loaded the swim with 20-25kg of both Krill and Manilla boilies, mixed particles and Bloodworm pellets, all of which was soaked in Cloudy Bloodworm and Manilla Liquids. Fully aware that this was a lot of bait, I wasn't surprised that my first bite didn't come until the third morning of the session. A double take kicked the action off and brought me two 20-pounders. Once the fish where returned I decided to top the swim up and keep the lines out of the water for the day, this seemed to have paid off as I received another two bites later that evening, not long after casting back out.
The next day I was awoken by mid 20lb mirror. Once I had returned the fish I sat on my hands and waited for bite time to pass, before winding in for the day and baiting up again. As soon as 4pm rolled around that afternoon I repositioned the rods ready for bite time, just an hour later I was alerted to a slow and steady pick-up. After a hairy battle and a tough slog in the deep water beneath the rod tip, my net was finally graced with the one I so greatly desired, Kempy's! weighing in at 47lb 4oz I couldn't believe it, my plan had worked, and my hard work had paid off."

Michael Floyd Charged with DUI
According to a breaking story on ESPN News, Notre Dame receiver, Michael Floyd, was arrested on a driving under the influence (DUI) charge this past Sunday. This new DUI charge is his second alcohol-related arrest in two years. His first arrest stemmed from a 2010 incident in which he was allegedly involved in a fight and fled when approached by police. Prior to being approached, he was beside a car owned by form Minnesota Golden Gopher player, Shady Salamon.
Floyd was charged with underage drinking, and Salamon was charged with a DUI, police obstruction, and underage drinking. Floyd was favored by many to be a strong draft pick, but he opted to stay in college for an additional year.
As a DUI attorney in Washington, DC, I am interested in what many perceive as different treatment for celebrities and athletes arrested for drunk driving. It seems like many think famous people are given special treatment. When it comes to some crimes such as gun charges or drug charges, this is possibly true, but with DWIs, or other drunken driving charges, celebrities often harsher consequences because of the publicity of the proceedings.
When an average citizen with no prior criminal record gets arrested and charged with a DUI, in Washington, DC, he or she may be eligible for a deferred sentencing agreement (DSA). A DSA means that if you plead guilty, you are required to complete some courses and be on probation, but the charge will be dismissed after successful completion. This program is at the discretion of the prosecutor and will not be offered if you blew over 0.10 grams per milliliter of blood on a breath test, or were abusive to police at the time of your arrest. In the case of a celebrity, they may not be offered a DSA because prosecutors could be seen as giving special treatment. You also have statements from judges such as in the Lindsay Lohan case to the tune of, "I don't care who you are."

The Mexican FM3 visa, also known as the retiree visa, has been retired. That's right, it exists no more, so if you want to stay in Mexico longer than 180 days, you'll need a temporary or permanent resident visa for expat retirees. Apply for this in the United States in a Mexican consulate close to your home.
Tourist Permit for Mexico
As a United States citizen, you can enter Mexico with your passport and automatically qualify for a tourist permit for 180 days, equal to about six months. Fill out the immigration forms at the border if you cross over by car, or at the airport if you arrive by plane. For many visitors, this 180-day period affords plenty of time to explore the country. But if it's not long enough, and you want to stay beyond the six-month period of a tourist permit, consider applying for a temporary resident visa.
Temporary Resident Visa
Mexico offers many types of temporary resident visas. There are different visas for students, artists, sports players and scientists, among others. But the temporary resident visa most commonly sought by expats is the retiree visa, which has replaced the FM3 visa.
You can apply for a temporary resident visa that is valid for up to four years. You can also apply for one-, two- or three-year temporary resident visas for retirees. Four years is the maximum period allowed for this visa. When the four years are over, retirees either have to leave Mexico or switch to a permanent resident visa. You'll automatically qualify if you've held a temporary resident visa for four years.
Application Process
In the past, applicants could get FM3 visas from inside Mexico, but that is not the case with temporary resident visas. You must apply at a Mexican consulate near your home in the United States; the consulate will provide the appropriate forms.
In order to get a temporary resident visa as a retiree-expat, you must show that you have enough income from outside the country to support yourself in Mexico. You can demonstrate that you earn a certain net amount every month, currently under $2,000 for one person. You'll have to submit bank statements for the previous six months to establish that income. If you have dependents the amount goes up for each one.
As an alternative, you can provide financial statements showing that, over the past 12 months, you have had an average balance in an investment account of a certain sum, currently between $25,000 and $30,000. Or, you can show that you own property in Mexico valued at a specific amount, usually between $200,000 and $225,000.
Calculating Income and Asset Amounts
The amounts of income and assets required for the visa change frequently. The income you need to establish for the temporary visa is based on a multiple (300) of the minimum wage in Mexico, which varies. The calculation also varies as the currency exchange fluctuates. The liquid asset figure is based on 5,000 times the minimum wage and the value of a house in Mexico. For a permanent residency visa, these multiples increase considerably.
