Interviewing is a two-way street. It is appropriate to ask whether or not the job and organization fit you. In general, questions relating to job duties, responsibilities, opportunities for training, and employee advancement within the company are appropriate. Avoid asking self-centered questions—those dealing with salary and benefits should be avoided during the first interview. The questions you ask do as much to differentiate you from the competition as the ones you answer.
Interview Rubric
All-Purpose Questions
- What are the major responsibilities of this position?
- Is there a job description? May I see it?
- Can you tell me why this position is open?
- How often has it been filled in the past 5 to 10 years?
- What did you like most about the person who previously held this position?
- What would you like to see the person who fills this position do differently?
- What qualifications would you expect the successful candidate to possess?
- What do you see as my strengths/weaknesses for this position?
- What are the greatest challenges facing the person in this position?
- What kind of support does this position receive in terms of people and finances?
- How much freedom would I have to determine my work objectives and deadlines?
- How would my performance be measured and how is successful performance usually rewarded?
- How would you describe your management style?
- Can you describe your organizational culture?
- Do you have a lot of turnover? Why or why not?
- Why are you looking at external candidates for this position, instead of promoting from within?
- Would it be possible to meet the people who work in the department?
- Do you encourage participation in community or professional activities?
- Do you have a management development or internal training program?
- What are the company's plans for growth in the next five years?
- How does the company intend to remain competitive?
- How do you encourage professional growth?
- Don't ask specifically about tuition reimbursement; save discussion of employee benefits for salary negotiations.
- How long has this position existed in your organization?
- Does the company foresee any growth for this department?
- Is your company environment formal or informal?
- What are some of the most difficult problems I'd face in this position?
- Can you estimate the amount of travel required?
"Your questions must be asked in a spirit of honest and open inquiry. Tone of voice matters. Employers have weak spots, too. The interview is not the time to step on toes, so be careful how you ask your questions. It is suggested that you write down your list of questions on an index card and carry it in your suit pocket, attaché case, or purse. If you can remember all of your questions without referring to your card that is excellent. However, given the stress of the situation, you may find it difficult to recall the questions you wished to ask. If that happens, mention to the interviewer that you have some questions you want to be sure you don't forget to ask and then refer to your index card."

An American Airlines passenger who claimed her suitcase was "robbed" of $8,000 worth of items and then filled with airline equipment had actually just taken the wrong bag.
Anna Knight flew into MIA last week and grabbed what she thought was her rose gold hard shell suitcase off the baggage claim carousel.
When she opened the suitcase, instead of finding her own belongings, she discovered it was filled with airline equipment, including harnesses, power strips, an orange reflective jacket and work boots, People reports
In a now-deleted tweet, Knight wrote: "NEVER fly with @AmericanAir again. All of my items were taken out of my luggage and replaced with airport equipment, & all they did was tell me to fill out a form. This is OUTRAGEOUS!! Pls REPOST & don't book flights with them! #AmericanAirlines #NBCNews #ABCNews #Travel #ROBBED"
Knight also posted about the incident on her Facebook and shared a screenshot of it on Twitter, claiming "$8000 worth of items" were missing, according to People. "Priceless souvenirs from my trip GONE!!" she wrote.
In a follow-up tweet, Knight wrote that she was "in tears" and that police were investigating the incident.
On Thursday, Knight wrote that the airline had found her stuff. Knight had taken the wrong suitcase entirely and left her own behind, which American Airlines later located.
"The Jet lag must have really taken its toll. I was going crazy," Knight wrote in an apology tweet.
TSA told People magazine they investigated the situation and confirmed that Knight had taken the wrong bag. They also shared a photo of her suitcase in good condition waiting for Knight to pick it up.

The weekend ended on a high for some of Europe 's top sides with Liverpool extending their lead with a win over Man United while Juventus opened a four-point gap at the top of Serie standings.
Mohamed Salah finally broke his goalscoring duck against Manchester United as he netted the second goal at the death to help Liverpool beat archrivals Manchester United 2-0 on Sunday evening.
The win, their 13th in a row, saw them keep their march to the title alive, opening a 16-point gap between them and defending champions Manchester City in Second.

Massive respect 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌. pic.twitter.com/9QV9hIdZXQ
Virgil van Dijk gave the hosts the lead in the first half and they had two goals ruled out after VAR checks before Salah killed it off deep into added time.
There was also a first for Alisson Becker, who became the first Liverpool goalkeeper to assist a Premier League goal since Pepe Regina set-up Fernando Torres against Sunderland in 2010.
In the other match of the day, Burnley shocked Jamie Vardy's Leicester 2-1, in a match the Englishman missed a penalty.
Interestingly, none among the traditional top six teams won this weekend apart from Jurgen Klopp's men.
'Four-some' Bayern move back to second
Bundesliga defending champions scored four goals in the last half hour as they saw off a stubborn Hertha Berlin 4-0 in perfect response to RB Leipzig's comeback win on Saturday.
Thomas Muller gave the Bavarians the lead on the hour mark before Robert Lewandowski converted from the spot on the 73rd minute.
Tiago Alcantra and Ivan Perisic then added gloss to the win late on to help their side move to second, four points behind Leipzig.
Talking of Saturday, Erling Haaland sent shockwaves on his Bundesliga debut for Borussia Dortmund, scoring a 23-minute hat-trick in the second half as his side won 5-3 against Augsburg to move to fourth.
Messi shoots Barcelona back to LaLiga pinnacle
Barcelona needed a Lionel Messi second-half goal to beat 10-man Granada 1-0 and move back to the top of the La Liga table.
In what was manager Quique Setien's first match in charge, the Blaugrana struggled for long periods against a disciplined Granada and seemed to have no answer to unlock their defense until German Sanchez was shown a red card with 20 minutes to go.
Messi then stepped up to score the lone goal on the 76th minute to help his side move back to the top.
In an earlier match, Real Mallorca shocked Valencia in a 4-1 drubbing, hugely denting their Champions League hopes.
Ronaldo continues with red-hot form
In Italy, Cristiano Ronaldo continued with his red-hot form as his brace helped Juventus see off Parma 2-1 and open a four-point gap at the top of Serie A over second-placed Inter Milan.
The Portuguese scored his 10th and 11th goals in the last seven Serie matches on both sides of an Andreas Comelius goal.
The Old Lady of Turin enjoyed the win having watched Inter Milan draw away to Lecce early on. Alessandro Bostoni had given Antonio Conte's men the lead on the 71st minute, but the hosts equalized six minutes later to share the spoils.

BELIZE CITY, Fri. Mar. 16, 2018– It was a crime that sent shockwaves across the country, especially in Belize City, where protesters gathered in front of the court buildings amidst unprecedented police security when the alleged perpetrator was first brought to court and arraigned on four sexual assault-related charges.
This morning, however, there was no crowd chanting "Justice for Baby Alyssa," and no police barriers, as a police vehicle quickly whisked Everal Martinez, 21, into the court building and he appeared before the Senior Magistrate, Aretha Ford, who read new charges to him.
On March 5, when he was charged with the four sexually-related offences against his 17-month-old step-daughter, Alyssa Nunez, bail was denied to Martinez because the Director of Public Prosecutions, Cheryl-Lynn Vidal, had indicated to the court that more serious charges would follow.
Magistrate Ford arraigned Martinez this morning on charges of murder, rape of a child below the age of 16 years, and assault of a child below the age of 16 years by penetration. All the offences are indictable, particularly murder, for which Martinez cannot get bail.
Following the arraignment, Martinez was transported back to the Belize Central Prison, where he joins the more than 250 accused murderers awaiting a Supreme Court trial date.
On March 4, the news of the death of the toddler, who came to be known as Baby Alyssa, surfaced on social media, where there was massive outrage that led to at least two protests in Belize City.
Baby Alyssa had died from "massive brain hemorrhage, due to head trau

Jeremiah 18:1 This is another communicacion, that God had with Ieremy, sayenge: Jeremiah 18:2 Arise, and go downe in to the Potters house, and there shall I tell the more off my mynde. Jeremiah 18:3 Now when I came to the Potters house, I founde him makinge his worke vpon a whele. Jeremiah 18:4 The vessel that the Potter made off claye, brake amonge his hodes: So he beganne a new, and made a nother vessell, acordinge to his mynde. Jeremiah 18:5 Then sayde the LORDE thus vnto me: Jeremiah 18:6 Maye not I do wt you, as this Potter doth, O ye house off Israel? saieth the LORDE? Beholde, ye house off Israel: ye are in my honde, euen as the claye in the Potters honde. Jeremiah 18:7 When I take in honde to rote out, to destroye, or to waist awaye eny people or kigdome: Jeremiah 18:8 yff that people (agaynst whom I haue thus deuysed) couerte from their wickednes: Immediatly, I repente off the plage, that I deuysed to bringe vpon the. Jeremiah 18:9 Agayne: Whe I take in honde, to buylde, or to plante a people or a kingdome: Jeremiah 18:10 yff the same people do euell before me, and heare not my voyce: Immediatly, I repente of the good, that I deuysed to do for them.
Jeremiah 18:11 Speake now therfore vnto whole Iuda, and to them that dwell at Ierusalem: Thus saieth the LORDE: Beholde, I am deuysinge a plage for you, and am takinge a thinge in honde agaynst you. Therfore, let euery man turne from his euell waye, take vpon you the thinge that is good, and do right. Jeremiah 18:12 But they saye: No more of this, we will folowe oure owne ymaginacions, and do euery ma acordinge to the wilfulnesse of his owne mynde. Jeremiah 18:13 Therfore thus saieth the LORDE: Axe amonge the Heithen, yf eny man hath herde soch horrible thinges, as the doughter of Sion hath done. Jeremiah 18:14 Shal not ye snowe (yt melteth vpon the stony rockes of Libanus) moysture the feldes? Or maye the springes off waters be so grauen awaye, that they runne nomore, geue moystnesse, ner make frutefull? Jeremiah 18:15 But my people hath so forgotten me, yt they haue made sacrifice vnto vayne goddes. And whyle they folowed their owne wayes they are come out of the hie strete, and gone in to a fote waye not vsed to be troden. Jeremiah 18:16 Where thorow they haue brought their londe in to an euerlastinge wildernesse and scorne: So yt who so euer trauayleth ther by, shalbe abashed, and wagge their heades. Jeremiah 18:17 With an East wynde will I scatre the, before their enemies. And when their destruction cometh, I will turne my backe vpo them, but not my face.
Jeremiah 18:18 Then sayde they: come, let vs ymagin somthinge agaynst this Ieremy. Yee this dyd euen the prestes, to whom ye lawe was commytted: the Senatours, yt were the wysest: and the prophetes, which wanted not ye worde off God. Come (sayde they) let vs cut out his tuge, and let vs not regarde his wordes. Jeremiah 18:19 Considre me (o LORDE) and heare the voyce of myne enemies. Jeremiah 18:20 Do they not recompence euell for good, when they dygg a pyt for my soule? Remembre, how that I stode before the, to speake for the, ad to turne awaye thy wrath from them. Jeremiah 18:21 Therfore let their childre dye of hunger, and let them be oppressed with the swearde. Let their wyues be robbed of their childre, and become wyddowes: let their husbodes be slayne, let their yonge men be kylled with the swearde in the felde. Jeremiah 18:22 Let the noyse be herde out of their houses, when the murtherer cometh sodenly vpon them: For they haue digged a pit to take me, and layed snares for my fete. Jeremiah 18:23 Yet LORDE, thou knowest all their coucell, that they haue deuysed, to slaye me. And therfore forgeue them not their wickednes, and let not their synne be put out of thy sight: but let them be iudged before the as the giltie: This shalt thou do vnto the in ye tyme of thy indignacion.

Aradigm Announces Detailed Third Party Evaluation Results for Apulmiq (FDA)/Linhaliq (EMA)
Aradigm Corporation (OTCQB: ARDM) ("Aradigm" or the "Company") today announced specific, detailed results of an independent third party evaluation (TPE) of the Phase 3 clinical trial results for Apulmiq.
As previously reported, Aradigm received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) on 26 January 2018, from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding its New Drug Application (NDA) for Apulmiq as a treatment for non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE) patients with chronic lung infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). The CRL identified issues related to a manual re-review of patient-level pulmonary exacerbation (PE) data conducted by Aradigm after errors were discovered in the analyses performed by a contract research organization. The CRL stated that an independent third party would need to verify the results of the ORBIT-3 and ORBIT-4 Phase 3 trials before the FDA could draw any conclusions regarding the safety and efficacy of Apulmiq from these trials.
Aradigm believes the independent TPE results verify the significant treatment effects of Apulmiq in ORBIT-4 for the pre-specified primary endpoint and secondary endpoints as previously reported in the NDA submitted on 26 July 2017. The TPE results also verify the already reported non-significant primary and secondary PE endpoint results of ORBIT-3. A meeting has been scheduled with the FDA to discuss these TPE verified Phase 3 trial results.
Based on the TPE results, in ORBIT-4 the primary endpoint of median time to first PE was 231 days in the Apulmiq group and 158 days in the placebo group, a difference of 73 days. The treatment effect, based on a stratified unweighted log-rank test (stratified by sex and previous number of exacerbations in the past 12 months prior to randomization), was statistically significant (HR: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.52-0.96; p = 0.024). For the first secondary efficacy endpoint, there was a 37% reduction in the frequency of PEs over the 48-week treatment period in the Apulmiq treatment group as compared to the placebo group (negative binomial model; RR: 0.63; 95% CI: 0.48-0.82). This result was statistically significant (p=0.0007). In the analysis of the second secondary endpoint, a statistically significant 61% reduction in the frequency of severe PEs in the Apulmiq group compared with placebo was found (using the negative binomial model; RR: 0.39 (95% CI: 0.21-0.72; p=0.0024).
In ORBIT-3 the median time to first PE was 214 days in the Apulmiq treatment group as compared to 136 days in the placebo group. This increase of 78 days in the median time to first PE was similar to ORBIT-4 but was not statistically significant (HR: 0.97; 95% CI: 0.70-1.34; p = 0.84). For the first secondary efficacy endpoint, there was a 15% reduction in the frequency of all PEs over the 48-week treatment period in the Apulmiq treatment group as compared to the placebo group but it was not statistically significant (RR: 0.85 95% CI: 0.65-1.12; p=0.26). In the analysis of the second secondary endpoint, a statistically non-significant 19% reduction in the frequency of severe PEs in the Apulmiq group compared with placebo was found (p=0.51).
In ORBIT-3 and ORBIT-4, randomization of patients was stratified by the number of PEs treated with antibacterials in the 12 months prior to randomization: 2 to 3, 4 to 7, and more than 7 PEs. As agreed by the FDA and the EMA, due to the low number of subjects enrolled in the "more than 7" prior PE stratum, a combined single stratum of frequent exacerbators (4 or more prior PEs) was used for the purpose of the statistical analyses of the two Phase 3 trials. This trial subpopulation of frequent exacerbators accounts for approximately 22% of the overall trial population in ORBIT-3 and ORBIT-4 and is part of a well-defined and identifiable clinical phenotype (Chalmers, 2018*). This subpopulation has a particularly rare prevalence with more extensive and serious disease, increased risk of future PEs and higher mortality as compared to the overall Phase 3 trial population of NCFBE patients with chronic lung infection with P. aeruginosa.
Although the analyses had low statistical power, due to the relatively small size of the frequent exacerbator group (22% of the overall trial population) the primary and secondary PE results for the frequent exacerbators in both trials were concordant and demonstrated clinically meaningful outcomes in favor of Apulmiq. In ORBIT-4, for the frequent exacerbators the median time to first PE was 211 days in the Apulmiq group and 163 days in the placebo group, a difference of 48 days. In ORBIT-3 the median time to first PE was 163 days in the Apulmiq group and 74 days in the placebo group, a difference of 89 days. The treatment effect, based on the stratified unweighted log-rank test was also very similar in both trials (ORBIT-4 RR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.35-1.24; p = 0.19 and ORBIT-3: RR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.37-1.18; p = 0.16).
When analyzing the frequency of PEs in the frequent exacerbators, using the negative binomial model, clinically meaningful and statistically significant results in favor of Apulmiq were observed in ORBIT-4, with an estimated risk reduction of 49% for all PEs (RR = 0.51; 95% CI: 0.31-0.85; p = 0.0094). In ORBIT-3, the risk reduction for all PEs was 34% and of borderline significance (RR = 0.66; 95% CI: 0.43-1.00; p = 0.052). While the frequency analyses of severe PEs had large variability due to small sample size, the analyses for the frequency of moderate and severe PEs showed a consistent risk reduction between 55% in ORBIT-4 and 35% in ORBIT-3. In the frequent exacerbators with 4 or more PEs per year, the observed risk reductions of PEs translates to about 2 fewer PEs per patient per year. Such a reduction is of important clinical relevance because each individual PE may be an irreversible event, and frequent PEs have been shown to increase morbidity in NCFBE patients (Chalmers, 2018*).
There are no approved treatment options for the prevention or reduction of PEs in NCFBE patients with chronic lung infection with P. aeruginosa. We believe that frequency of PEs is a more appropriate endpoint for measuring treatment effectiveness as compared to time to first PE, and based on an FDA Workshop on 26 June 2018 we believe the FDA and clinical NCFBE experts agree with this position.
Aradigm has a meeting with the FDA scheduled for 25 January 2019 to discuss these TPE results and to seek agreement for a resubmission of the Apulmiq NDA. Aradigm is currently also addressing the other issues identified in the CRL, following FDA guidance provided in a Type C meeting. A complete in vitro release method development report has been submitted for FDA review, a new Human Factor study is underway and work to address the product quality deficiencies is nearing completion.
Aradigm remains confident in the efficacy, safety and quality of Apulmiq and is committed to continue working toward the approval of Apulmiq for NCFBE patients with chronic lung infection with P. aeruginosa, who have very severe disease with high morbidity and mortality and no available treatment options.
About Aradigm
Aradigm is an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of drugs for the prevention and treatment of severe respiratory diseases. Aradigm is currently in Phase 3 development of Apulmiq (an investigational proprietary formulation of ciprofloxacin for inhalation) for the treatment of patients with NCFBE and chronic lung infection with P. aeruginosa. Aradigm's inhaled ciprofloxacin formulations are also product candidates for treatment of patients with cystic fibrosis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria, and for the prevention and treatment of high threat and bioterrorism infections, such as inhaled tularemia, pneumonic plague, melioidosis, Q fever and inhaled anthrax.
About Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis
NCFBE is a severe, chronic and rare disease characterized by abnormal dilatation of the bronchi and bronchioles, frequently associated with chronic lung infections. It is often a consequence of a vicious cycle of inflammation, recurrent lung infections, and bronchial wall damage. NCFBE represents an unmet medical need with high morbidity and mortality that affects more than 150,000 people in the U.S. and over 200,000 people in Europe. There is currently no drug approved for the treatment of this condition.
Forward-Looking Statements
Except for the historical information contained herein, this news release contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties, including the risk that Apulmiq may not receive regulatory approval or be successfully commercialized, as well as the other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on March 23, 2018, and the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

New guidance was published by the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) in January 2019.
This guide examined, among other things, how IPs interact with the PPF when a sponsoring employer enters into an insolvency event, and how the assessment process is efficiently progressed. Depending on the size of a company's pension scheme, either the scheme or the PPF could potentially be the largest creditor in a case. This could potentially involve the agreement of the IP's remuneration.
As you will no doubt be aware, IPs play a vital role and need to understand how and when to involve the PPF in relation to an employer's insolvency.
Once an insolvency event occurs, this triggers the start of a PPF assessment period to decide whether the PPF should assume responsibility for the scheme, whilst the scheme continues to be administered by its trustees. The scheme will be withdrawn from the PPF if the employer is to continue as a going concern. On the other hand, if the employer is no longer a going concern, this will be deemed a scheme failure.
They will only assume responsibility for a scheme where in addition to the insolvency event, the scheme has not been rescued (amongst other conditions).
Where there is a 'pre-pack', the PPF are concerned that consultation with either the scheme trustees or the PPF does not take place early enough.
We recently issued a trio of webcasts to our CPD Tap members which went into the guide in detail, and also what it means for you as an Insolvency Practitioner.

Addressing a joint session of Congress, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is ready to make "painful concessions" for a peace deal with moderate Palestinians but only with certain conditions. When President Barack Obama proposed May 19, 2011 using the 1967 borders as a basis for peace talks, it created an Israeli backlash. Barack's proposal was intended to entice Palestinians back to the peace table, despite proposing an unworkable plan. Israel has some 500,000 settlers living the West Bank, land seized by Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War. While Palestinian officials like to talk about Israeli occupation in the West Bank, they know that the land was sovereign territory prior to the Six-Day War. Without Israel's spoils, Palestinians would have no land for an independent state. Egypt, Jordan and Syria gave no territory for a Palestinian homeland.
Since rejecting Obama's proposal May 20, Netanyahu has made a compelling case for why the Palestinians are not ready for a peace deal, let alone threatening Israel with resuming their "Intdifada" or suicide bombing to win concessions. Reconciliation talks between West Bank's Mahmoud Abbas and Gaza's Ismail Haniyeh, have stalled out, primarily over the West Bank's civil war with Hamas, currently controlling Egypt's former territory called the Gaza Strip. While reconciliation talks have been moving forward for months in Cairo at a snail's pace, Hams recently denounced West Bank leader Mahoud Abbas' peace efforts. Abbas recognizes Israel's right to exist and all prior U.N. agreements signed by the late Yasser Arafat. Hamas categorically rejects all prior peace agreements, remains at war with Israel and refuses to stop calling for Israel's destruction.
Speaking to a joint session Congress today, Netanyahu made it plain there will be no roll back to the 1967 borders, something he calls "indefensible." "Tear up you pact with Hamas. Sit down and negotiate. Make peace with the Jewish state," said Nentanyahu, asking Abbas to renounce terrorism and work toward an independent Palestinian state. "I am willing to make painful compromises to achieve the historical peace. As the leader Israel, it is my responsibility," said Netanyahu, refusing to compromise Israeli security. "What came in Netanyahu's speech will not lead to peace," said Ramallah-based West Bank spokesman Nabil Abu Rdainah. With all the false starts and failed attempts at peace in the past, Palestinians are not in a position to threaten war or dictate terms for a final deal. Gone are the days before Sept. 11 when the U.S. can tolerate terrorist acts in the name of liberation.
Obama miscalculated badly in his May 19 speech calling for a return to the 1967 borders how things have changed since 9/11. Arafat, who died Nov. 11, 2004, didn't live to see his dream of a Palestinian state because he continued to use Hamas' terrorism to pressure Israel into making concessions. After Sept. 11, former President George W. Bush couldn't accept Palestinians' old tactics for pressuring Israel. Threatening a new Intifdada or uprising now won't get Palestinians one inch of territory, pushing statehood into a murky future. Netanyahu won't likely get his demand for Abbas to proclaim his acceptance of Israel as a Jewish homeland or state. Unlike the old days when former President Jimmy Carter's Camp David Accords opened up peace with Egypt, today's rampant Middle East extremism makes tolerating the old terrorist tactics unacceptable to win concessions.
Judging by Netanyahu's thunderous ovation in Congress, Obama and his Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton are not in a position to push Israel too hard into making unilateral concessions. "It's time for [Palestinian] President Abbas to stand before his people and say, 'I will accept a Jewish state,'" said Netanyahu to a standing ovation. U.S. elected officials know that those words would do in an already tottering 76-year-old Abbas. Reconciling with Hamas has made the prospects for peace next to impossible. Netanyahu has no intent of negotiating with any Palestinian faction calling for Israel's destruction. Abbas needs to put Hamas on notice that he intends to move forward with an independent Palestinian state only in the West Bank. If Abbas moves ahead, Hamas will either fall in line or face the very real prospects of military intervention in Gaza.
Netanyahu's speech to a joint session of Congress proves how far the U.S. has gone in a post-Sept, 11 world on both sides of the aisle in supporting Israel. Obama's call to return to the pre-1967 is unrealistic with over 500,000 Jewish settlers now living in the West Bank. Palestinians can't lay claim to Israel's spoils of the Six-Day War. If Netanyahu wishes to cede territory to Abbas for an eventual Palestinian state, it's because he believes it's in Israel's national security interest. Abbas knows that avoiding the peace table and declaring an independent state won't have the kind of legitimacy needed to create a sovereign state. "Peace cannot be imposed. It must be negotiated," said Netanyahu, telling Abbas that Israeli won't be coerced into making concessions. Before the peace process is dead for the foreseeable future, Abbas must tell Hamas to accept Israel or go it alone.

I need to root my huawei mediapad s7-301u android tablet. Currently it is running android 4.0.3. My development PC is on 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I tried so many sites about rooting this tablet but getting so many issues here. I am explaining the issues below I faced while rooting.
Currently there is no google-play,CWM-recovery in my tablet so please consider this situation also when answering.
- So I downloaded android-sdk on my PC and got the adb and fastboot.
- then I downloaded a zip file and put it on my tablet and tried to reboot into recovery but I can't see anything like "install zip from sdcard". Only I can see 4 menu items reboot fastboot,reboot,recovery and power off.
- I tried the recovery one when I do that one android logo with some setting icon animation appears in green and the tablet goes to normal boot process and starts normally.
- When I press the power button and volume down button also nothing happens at boot time.
- Then I downloaded boot.img to flash it using fastboot. But here also fail. The fastboot lists my devices with command "fastboot devices" but when i try to flash, it stucks at "waiting for devices".
Now feel confused and messed up with tablet for rooting. Can anybody please guide me step by step process to check and root this tablet.
I will be so much grateful to get the answer.

Earlier this year, I ran out of steam while posting about my amazing trip to South Africa. For those interested in our final stops, I'll add a few more posts and photos of our final stops over the next few days. In some respects, this was a lost summer for me – or it feels that way. I was busy, but not with the things I normally do. No hiking, or birding, and very little photography. Things are turning around though and a recent post on another blogger's site reminded me of a really good day in South Africa when I enjoyed, for the first time, ginger beer.
Homemade ginger beer is an easy to make and special treat. Like rootbeer, ginger beer can be produced as a soft drink and served to children and adults alike. Shortly after returning from South Africa, I started searching the web for recipes. I found a few, here and there. And then I read this post on Jackie Hill's The Slowvelder blog and could resist the urge any longer. Jackie's recipe is simple and easy to make and the results are amazing!
Start by grating about 2 – 3 inches of fresh ginger root into a container large enough to accommodate about 5 quarts (or 5 liters) of water. As with all of the best homemade recipes, the exact amount of ginger to use will vary by your taste. Experiment with more or less until you get the result you're looking for – I enjoy the ginger beer that mildly sweet with a slight spicy finish, and this amount of ginger root does the trick for me.
Next, add the zest of a lemon. Careful not to add too much of the white pith, which can be bitter. After zesting the lemon, squeeze the juice into the mix.
Three cups of sugar are added to the grated ginger root, lemon zest, and juice. Once again, you can experiment with the total amount of sugar – add a little more or less depending on your taste. Toss in a handful of raisins with the sugar.
Add 5 quarts (or liters) of water. The first quart of water should be boiling, which will help quickly dissolve the sugar and begin releasing all the wonderful aromas of ginger and lemon – your kitchen is going to smell amazing!
After the liquid has cooled to slightly warmer than room temperature, add a packet of yeast, cover, and allow the mixture to sit in a warm place for 8 – 12 hours. I elected to leave mine overnight.
The mixture should begin to bubble during the fermentation process. If your batch doesn't bubble, throw it away and start over! This was mine after a night in a warm room. Next, scoop out the biggest chunks, and then pour the liquid through cheesecloth or a clean washcloth. I use clean 2-litter soda bottles, filled to leave about 3 inches of head room, to continue fermentation. Store them in a warm place, away from direct sunlight, slowly releasing the pressure once or twice a day. Open the bottles very, very slowly or, alternatively, be prepared to clean ginger beer from all nearby surfaces and change your clothing – you need to trust me on this step! The longer you allow the fermentation to proceed, the stronger (higher alcohol content) the beer will become. Again, experiment until you get the taste you want. I start tasting small amounts of my ginger beer after 24 hours in the bottle and refrigerate when I get the taste I'm looking for – refreshing, slightly sweet with a mildly spicy finish. Refrigeration all but stops the fermentation process.
Now comes the best part – enjoy your chilled ginger beer over ice. Add a slice of lemon or lime, or nothing at all. Ginger beer should keep for about a week once refrigerated. For me, this is a little piece of South Africa I brought back to New Jersey – for good! The taste takes me back immediately to that incredible country. Now, I need to find an authentic peri-peri sauce recipe!!
And, finally, thank you Jackie for sharing your ginger beer recipe. Some day I would like to share a glass with you after a day exploring the bushveld around your game reserve!

1906 - Eau de Parfum - 50 mL - Retro Perfume

Scent Blueprint: Trolley Cars * Tobacco * Hay * Brick * Slight Floral Melody
1906 -An ode to the historic Huron Trolley SubStation and the ingenuity of the early twentieth century in LA.
An eccentric scent, "1906" calls upon the ghosts of old trolley cars, the bricks that surround us in our historic building, and the tobacco and hay scents, prevalent of that era. These scents are followed by the leather bellows of a folding camera and end with the floral melody of roses, wafting down from the nearby city of Pasadena.
The perfume is housed in a high quality glass atomizer with black cap and packaged in a black circular box, both atomizer and box have beautifully printed, vibrant labels. In keeping with our literary leanings, our unisex eau de parfum is protected in its box with the shredded New York Times. A commitment to paying for quality writing and news. Once read, we shred.

The Gwent competitive ladder, split into 30 ranks with Pro Rank above it.
Ranked is the name of the Gwent competitive ladder, named as such because it is split into 30 different ranks. A player starts at Rank 30 and works their way to Rank 1. Each rank is split into 5 tiers, represented in-game by a stain-glass-style mosaic shown in the player's personal profile.
While playing in Ranked, winning games will gain a player mosaic pieces. When a mosaic has been completed and the player wins one more game, they will advance to the next rank. If a player loses games, mosaic pieces will be lost. However, during a season, a player will never drop down to a lower rank if they lose too many games.
When the player wins a game after completing the Rank 1 mosaic, they are put into a special rank referred to as Pro Rank.

I'm looking for lowering springs for my 2007 GXP. The question I have is if anyone has installed the H&R springs on a gxp and how much lower did it get? Are the 2.4 solstice the same height as the gxp? Or are they the same height? If so how do I know how much the h&r spring will loser my car? I just want about a 1.5 inch drop, which is why I want springs. Coilovers would be over kill as I would not be using them to their full potential on this car.

"You're Fired!"
WASHINGTON—The Trump administration took direct aim Thursday at California's role as de facto auto regulator for the nation, proposing to end the state's ability to set its own fuel-efficiency standards and to dial back Obama-era limits on tailpipe emissions.
The proposal would eliminate the sharp increase in fuel-economy mandates adopted under the Obama administration in collaboration with California. The rules require car makers to boost fuel efficiency to 50 miles a gallon on average by 2025, thereby cutting emissions.
BONUS. Pastors praise Trump for pro-black impact of policies.

Option builders in JavaScript
Using option objects in JavaScript is a common pattern for methods requiring a lot of different parameters. This technique allows a method to stay flexible and evolve gracefully when new parameters are added or an old parameter changes name or meaning.
Creating option objects for these methods, though, is a different story. The task is often simple and repetitive and it is often overlooked during the day- to-day development. It is common to see code like that spread over your program:
It is pretty clear that this method is performing a POST request to a well known
URL to search for users, optionally providing a name and an age to narrow the
search results. Authentication information is also provided in the
object to authenticate to the remote service.
There are different problems with the previous example:
- The
optionobject is created and modified manually. This approach is sensitive to different kinds of error, like misspelling an option name.
- Cross-cutting concerns are repeated without any generalization. Setting the authentication data should be encapsulated in its own method. You don't want to change the whole application if you later decide to change your authentication strategy.
- Conditionally adding parameters to the option object is tedious and fills the
method with a lot of
- The workflow to build an option object is not standardized, but shows small and subtle differences every time it is executed. This is what happens if you manually build an option object.
A first generalization
Tho solve the first problem you could encapsulate option assignment in different functions. Every function receives an option object and modifies it, as shown in the following code snippet.
This brings our original method to the next level.
This solves the very first problem in our bullet list. You avoided every
possible spelling mistake during the construction of the
option object.
Moreover, if an option parameter will change its name, you have to modify your
code in only one place.
You can apply an additional improvement to the previous code by eliminating the
if statements. It is as easy as writing a more specialized function to
change the option object.
This makes the function code shorter and clearer.
Stretch it a little bit more
Our function is in a better shape than before, but it still feels boring to write. Well, nobody said that your job should be funny, but it should at least by as easy as possible.
I assume that you have a lot of functions in your codebase very similar to the previous one. If they are so similar, there should be a way to generate them. The first step in this direction is to generalize the creation of an option object. At the moment this is not possible because each helper function you created has a different signature. While this can be good for you, it is surely a bad thing for your computer.
What if each helper function had the same semantic?
If every helper function was written like this, you could execute all of them in
order and pass the
options parameter from one function to the other, until all
of them are executed.
You can change your previous helper function to generate functions of this type, instead of directly accessing the options object. They will just create a closure for other functions which perform the actual work. Let's give it a shot.
Note that I changed the logic of the
setAuth() function. This implementation
require an external method to provide the
auth parameter to be set in the
option object. In this way, you can throw out the user name and password from
the parameter list of your functions. By applying the previous modification, you
will end up with the code shown below.
Please note that the operations array is a sequence of functions, and each of them has the same signature: they all receive an option object in input and return an option object as output.
You use the
Array.reduce() method to invoke every function in order, and
incrementally construct the final
option object. As shown from the invocation
reduce(), the `option object is initially an empty object.
Less work for everyone
Given the improvements in the previous section, can you really generalize our function to generate it at runtime? In the end, a function like that is only a sequence of steps which must be performed to create an option object, and it always performs a call to the request() method with the the option object and a callback. Moreover, the callback is always the last parameter of the function.
The only information left in the original function, at the end of the transformation, will be this:
What you have to write is a generator which takes something like that in input
and generates a working function as output. Writing such a generator, as shown
below, is a very simple task which requires only a little bit of juggling with
arguments special variable.
createFullMethod() function creates a new function. The arguments of this
function will be evaluated dinamically, and the number of arguments can be
variable. Let's go through the steps performed by this function:
- You convert the
argumentsspecial variable to a full array by using the
- You extract the
donecallback from the end of the arguments. This is a convention which enforces every function to have a callback as last parameter. The
argsvariable now contains the remaining parameters passed to the function.
- You call
partialMethodwith the rest of the arguments to obtain a list of operations.
- You
reduce()the operations to have a full option object.
- You perform the request and pass the `done callback to be called when a response is received.
This final improvement means that you can generate other functions very similar to your original one with a minimum effort. Let's see how you would now rewrite the original function and how we would use the same API to also create a different remote function.
If, while reading this article, you thought that this approach is overkill, your view was probably limited to the only function you refactored. The described approach is useful if you have plenty of functions doing almost the same thing with some small variations, because you have a common API to describe the parts these functions are composed from.
In particular, you should focus on how we represented a function as a list of operations. The moment you treat functions as first class objects which you can store, manipulate, and combine, your code will be automatically become simpler, your abstractions stronger and your flexibilty endless.

Others Missed Out On This Profit Opportunity – But You Won't
Relying on outdated intel can be disastrous on many levels.
This is something I can tell you firsthand, as a former intelligence officer for the U.S. government.
I have been to countless countries during my four-decade career, including all 15 former Soviet republics, several islands in the Caribbean, most of Europe, and much of the Middle East.
Some of these places I've been to for pleasure, most for business.
I've been a consultant for many government agencies, energy businesses, 29 governments around the world, and several dozen public and private companies.
And let me tell you, if any of the information I had at my disposal was outdated, I would have been in a boatload of trouble – either with my reputation or my life.
I've rarely, if ever, found myself in a situation in which my information couldn't be trusted, and I consider myself lucky in that regard.
But the U.S. government – particularly the sector involved in surveying land – can hardly say the same.
Because there's one spot in the U.S. that could have been making the government – and everyday Americans – millions in profit if they hadn't been relying on information outdated by several decades.
I'm talking about the biggest oil discovery in U.S. history…
Their Maps were as Old and Dusty as the Desert
The desert wasn't exactly an area of land that really lent itself to be regarded as profitable.
Especially a section as "bone dry" as this one.
And that was a common belief among many experts.
Their dusty, old 1995 maps told them that while the area around this section of land was saturated with oil, this particular area had nothing of interest under its dusty sand.
Those same maps had made these experts millionaires…
So why shouldn't they trust them?
Well, those maps and their intelligence turned out to be old and untrustworthy.
And it was to their detriment.
Because this region ended up holding a motherlode…
Last time this happened, it created unfathomable wealth
Bone Dry Desert Leads to an Ocean of Oil
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) hadn't done a full, nationwide examination of America's oil basins in years – at the time, not since 1995.
Shortly after one man decided to purchase this "worthless" plot of land everyone else scoffed at thanks to their "trustworthy" sources, the USGS conducted a full survey.
They wanted to determine how much potential oil was still undiscovered and recoverable.
Well, they found some.
More than some, in fact.
They found 20 billion barrels of recoverable oil…
16 trillion cubic feet of natural gas…
A total of $1.4 trillion worth of energy.
And this one man's previously "worthless" section of land is in the same region.
Once those other oil experts picked up their jaws from the floor, they knew they'd missed out on a huge payload.
A payload that everyday Americans like you can get in on too.
This oil discovery has the potential to mint 100 new millionaires, every single month, for the next 11 years.
