Nothing to sonta
The PF would have us believe that the one area it has delivered on is infrastructure. But before they ask you to sonta again this is the truth behind their lies.
In 2011 the PF went on a shopping spree to finance road construction without looking at how much money they had in the bank. In just three years, they have outstanding payments of 5 billion kwacha owing to road contractors. Even if no new contracts are signed, by 2020 the bill will be 25.6 billion kwacha with 13 billion kwacha in outstanding payments. They then borrow to pay debts. They have now created a national debt of over $6 billion. Bambo Lungu Wagulitsa Dziko Ku Kaloba!
Corruption has made these roads expensive. Compare the cost of building a road in South Africa versus Zambia. The money we pay for one kilometre in Zambia (US$2 million), you can do five in South Africa.
The PF has put no plan in place for maintenance of these roads so soon people will be saying ni pesa epo mwabombele? Here is the issue, if we continue on a clear maintenance programme it costs the taxpayer US$100,000 as opposed to US$460,000 per kilometre for major rehabilitation.
Here are some of the headline facts:
Cost of building a road in South Africa = 4.4 million kwacha
PF is trying to take false credit. The projects they are bragging about started way before they were in Government.
Mongu – Kalabo Road; 1990/2006 – President Chiluba/Mwanawasa
Senanga-Sesheke Road; 2010 – MMD
The Pedicle Road; 2010 – MMD
Nakonde – Mbala Road; 2010 – MMD
Isoka – Muyombe Road; 2010 – MMD
Luangwa Bridge to Mwami Border Post; 2008 – MMD
Chipata Mfuwe Road; 2010 – MMD
These power projects were initiated by someone else and PF are taking false credit:-
Itezhi tezhi Power Station; 2006 – MMD
Kafue Gorge Lower Station; 2009 – President MMD
Lunzua Power Station, Mpulungu; 2010 – President MMD
In short, when you sonta what has been done in the past 5 years next to the cost, PF, tapali epo mwabombele. What PF is claiming as their great success is a lie and someone else's work. There is nothing to Sonta at?
UPND National Campaign Centre
Nothing to sonta
It only make sense if you Sonta on employment creation,reduction on price of food,reduction of poverty levels etc any one can make infrastructures using borrowed money.
The so called infrastructures are nothing if citizens are wallowing in abjecty poverty.
Greece is passing through economic difficulties because unbridled debt construction. As you may know Greek's infrastructure is far much better than zambia but cannot solve the economic problems currently the country is going through.
What is the use to construct more universities when you are not able to manage the existing two government ones.It is not just a question of building but how are able to manage them efficiently0? Same goes to roads is the government going to borrow for maintenance
Let them sonta at their stomachs, personal wealth they have accumulated within a short space. How do you become rich when you don't have a business you can sonta that is making you rich at a supersonic speed. Let them sonta at the very fast rate that Zambians are becoming poor every second that passes by. You can literally see people becoming desperately poor by every minute that passes by. Let them sonta at the resurfaced injustice and barbaric intimidation which was their in the 1980's. Why is Zambia in a reverse gear, socially and economically? LORD HAVE MERCY FOR THIS Let them sonta at their stomachs, personal wealth they have accumulated within a short space. How do you become rich when you don't have a business you can sonta that is making you rich at a supersonic speed. Let them sonta at the very fast rate that Zambians are becoming poor every second that passes by. You can literally see people becoming desperately poor by every minute that passes by. Let them sonta at the resurfaced injustice and barbaric intimidation which was their in the 1980's. Why is Zambia in a reverse gear, socially and economically? LORD HAVE MERCY FOR THIS GREAT NATION…..
PF under Edgar Lungu became a gold mine, everyone involved has become a millionaire. The majority of them have graduated from rugs to riches. Michael Chilufya Sata (MHSRIEP) must be weeping uncontrollably for anointing a wolf in a sheepskin to rule over Zambia. Everything in Zambia costs three times the normal price. Prices in Zambia are neck and neck with prices in a broken economy of Zimbabwe, sometimes we are worse off, all because of corruption. Give PF another five years, corruption will go through the roof and there will be no Kwacha to talk about. We will end up with no currency to talk about and start using other countries currencies like the US Dollar and the Rand. It's a shame isn't it to see a rich country like Zambia going to the dogs like that all because of a few greedy and selfish Zambians. GOD FORBID!!
thank you for your update bro,pf bufi nothing more.they say we are creating job well they don't,yesterday deputy spokesperson say we are trying to create job for the youths through youth empowerment fund.now if you go and access the found you will never have it.i wonder even so called men of God have became lies.pf remember want the bible say in Jeremiah;God will judge whatever done in darkness.
PF are just thieves with their leader amassing K23m in one year as nichekeleko proceeds from the so called infrastructure development they insist on for their benefits these quacks.
At least PF finished the projects and people have seen where the money has gone unlike HH who sold the mine and we can't still see the benefits
HH ine nolupwa lwandi
A project can be initiated by some one but requires to be implemented. The PF have implemented and can there record such implementation as successes. That I am afraid is the way it works.
Even without their Sontapo ideology the Whole Pathetic Failures has put me off especially when I look at their Cadres and skyrocketing of the the life of living. Its is disaster.
There is no SONTAPO for Lungu. All road works were started and done by MMD, although majority of them are still not finished. guys tell it like it is. PF is finished. It ended with the owner Mr Sata
so what.
No matter what you will say Ill still vote for ECL

Fitness tips for women over 40? Hell yes! I'm over 40 and I am always looking for quick tips to help enhance my health!
I am a firm believer in the saying "you're only as old as you feel". I actually have a scale that calculates your metabolic age which is kind of cool! Guess what? My metabolic age is 32 - and that's exactly how old I actually feel! I have seen a number of results come back where the chronological age is 42 but the metabolic age (how old your body is based on a number of measurable factors like body fat, muscle weight, etc) is 67! I don't know about you, but I haven't met anyone yet who wants to be OLDER than their real age! Unless of course you're 8 and can't wait to grow up!
I have a number of fitness tips that can help you to lower your metabolic age and help you to feel...
Oh yes, and a bonus one.....CLEAN EATING!
I might be a little bit of a gadget geek with this but I LOVE my FitBit! This is like having a personal trainer wrapped around your wrist motivating you to MOVE! I recommend the Fitbit Charge because it has a display right on it that also acts as a watch. Most fitness trackers will tell you information like how many steps you've taken, how far you've gone and how many calories burned.
The Fitbit syncs with your smartphone or computer to help you keep track. The basic goal is 10,000 steps per day. I have to tell you that on more than one occasion when I haven't quite reached my daily goal, I've walked around my house until I did reach my goal! How's that for motivation? Check it out! In all my years of teaching fitness, I think this is something that works!
We have all read that we SHOULD be drinking more water. Do you know that your body is made up of approximately 70% water? Water helps keep the skin hydrated and full - read between the lines - less wrinkles for us women over 40! It also plays a huge role in our digestion, our flexibility (dry tissue can't stretch), muscle stiffness and headaches to name a few things. It is also super important for your fascia!
How much water? Take your body weight in pounds and divide it in half. That's the number of ounces (oz) you should try to consume each day. And no, coffee does not count! That dehydrates you! Increase your water consumption gradually and it will mean less frequent trips to the loo!
Really the best motivation to keep you going and help you reach your goals! If you have an appointment that you have to keep with someone who is a certified personal fitness trainer, who motivates you, who knows the latest tips in fitness, who looks like they take care of themselves - how can you not stick to your program? Hint: find one that motivates and inspires you! Don't settle for the guy who just counts your reps at the gym! You can do that on your own!
Stretching is one of the best things you can do as a human being! Women over 40 are flocking to Yoga classes all over the globe. A mentor of mine in the fascial stretch world once said that the key to aging gracefully is stretching EVERY DAY. You've heard the saying "if you don't use it, you lose it"? Flexibility is so key for health and wellness. You all know how good you feel when you stretch but it's also one of the things that people skip when they workout. Don't skip this piece - it's golden!
Women over 40 tend to shy away from weight lifting because "I don't want to get BIG and look like a man". Umm...you won't, trust me! Adding weights into your workout helps to keep you strong and keep your muscles toned. We all like to wear sleeveless tops in the summer don't we? So let's make sure we have some toning exercises built into our workouts! Besides, lean muscle burns about 17x more calories at rest than fat - what a way to increase your metabolism and shape your body!
I cannot stress enough how important nutrition is in fitness and in life! 80% of what your body looks like is a direct result of what you put in your mouth! Check out my Nutrition Plan page or grab the book Eating Clean as mentioned on my Reading List.
I hope you've found my fitness tips helpful and motivating! Just get started today! The sum of our health is made up of all of the little things. Don't wait! You have the power to change your life!

Do you want to reduce shopping cart abandonment on your site? It's troublesome to think of getting a customer all the way to the shopping cart, only to lose out on the sale. The good news is, there are proven ways to reduce your cart abandonment rates without totally overhauling your e-commerce store. In this post, we'll share 11 proven tips to reduce cart abandonment.
What is Cart Abandonment?
Cart abandonment is a term used in eCommerce to describe when shoppers add products to their online cart or even begin the checkout process, but leave the site before completing their purchase.
1. Implement Exit-Intent Popups
If you've never used exit-intent popups, this is a huge opportunity for you to maximize your conversions.
Exit-intent popups can be installed on any page, including shopping cart and checkout pages, and works by detecting when a user is about to leave the page. It then sends a popup message that encourages them to stay by offering a deal or presenting more information.
For example, when someone is about to abandon your cart, you can present them with a coupon like this:
With OptinMonster's exit-intent technology, you could present an even more targeted offer by displaying a different message depending on which item(s) the shopper has shown an interest in, or which pages on your site they have viewed. See our guide on how to create an exit intent popup on Shopify for step by step instructions.
If the shopper still leaves without completing their purchase, you can send them an abandoned cart email sequence to entice them to return. Check out our guide to creating an abandoned cart email strategy to get started.
2. Eliminate Surprises
Even if you don't want to offer free shipping, you can still reduce the number of people who abandon your cart due to shipping costs and other charges. You see, the most common – and CORRECTABLE – reason that shoppers abandon their carts is due to unexpected costs like shipping, taxes, and fees.
All of this suggests that shoppers simply don't like surprises. To remove that surprise, you'll have to make all additional costs clear before they add items to their cart.
The tricky part is, how do you do that when your shipping costs are variable?
That's where a calculator comes in: you can add a button to your product pages which will calculate the estimated shipping cost for your customer before they hit the shopping cart.
There are several ways to do this. If you use WooCommerce, you can simply install a plugin like WooCommerce Shipping Calculator On Product Page or WooCommerce Calculate Shipping Button. (See our list of the best WooCommerce plugins and tools for more.)
If you use Shopify, you can use one of their themes with shipping rate calculators built-in, or add a shipping rate calculator to any theme.
If you have any other fees besides shipping (sales tax, handling fees, product customization charges, or anything else that gets tacked on to the advertised price), you will want to make sure those fees are made clear on the product pages so that the customer isn't surprised by them once they add an item to their cart.
3. Keep the Cart Visible
24 percent of people who abandon their shopping cart want to save their items for future consideration (see the KISSmetrics infographic above).
So, if you want to have them come back to it later, it is really important to keep the cart in clear view. Otherwise, it will be out of sight and out of mind.
This could be something as simple as a cart icon in the corner of the screen that expands when you click or hover over it.
For example, here's what Amazon's cart icon looks like. It even shows the number of items inside the cart, so you are reminded at a glance that you haven't completed your purchase:
If you are using WooCommerce, you can easily add a customized cart icon like this to your menu bar with the WooCommerce Menu Cart plugin.
4. Enable Guest Checkout
It's not a smart idea to require customers to create an account prior to checkout. Not only does this slow down the process, but most customers will actually bounce.
Inputting information, confirming an email address, and then returning to the shopping cart is a lot to ask of a customer who likely has other online options to choose from.
Tear down the sign-in barrier by enabling a guest checkout. You can always ask them to sign up for an account at the end after they've already made their purchase.
If you are using WooCommerce, all you have to do is check one box to enable guest checkout:
If you use Shopify, you can enable guest checkouts by selecting "Accounts are optional" inside your Customer Accounts settings:
At the end of the checkout process, customers will have the option to create an account.
5. Make Checkout Lightning Fast
One of the best ways to reduce shopping cart abandonment is to eliminate unnecessary pages and streamline the process.
Do your customers really need to click through five different pages to complete a purchase? The more you can simplify the process and reduce the number of hoops a customer has to go through, the better.
Here's an example of a super fast checkout screen from Dribble (a design portfolio site):
They were able to streamline the process so much that all a customer has to do is enter their email and their credit card information, hit the "Pay" button, and boom! Done. They don't even ask for a name!
The other thing that's great about this checkout screen is the "Remember me" checkbox, which prevents users from having to enter their information a second time if they want to purchase from Dribble again.
6. Make Getting in Touch Easy
Shoppers will inevitably have questions during the checkout process. It's your job to make information readily available by directing them to your FAQ page or giving them the option to reach out directly.
A chat feature is an ideal option if you are prepared to offer it. LiveChat makes it super easy to add a chat to your WordPress shop (and it integrates with many online shopping carts, such as Shopify, WooCommerce, Ecwid, and more).
If you can't offer a live chat, a customer service phone number will do. Just make sure that shoppers know how to get in touch with you when they have a question.
Top Tools: Want to add live chat to your site? Check out the best live chat plugins and software!
Be sure to check out these live chat best practices to get the most out of your live chat software.
7. Save the Cart
84% of online shoppers are comparison shoppers. That's the convenience of the internet. They open a bunch of windows, find similar products, compare prices and terms, and then make a final selection.
Online Shopping Statistics You Need to Know in 2020
This back and forth often means they'll close out windows, log back on, and move around. A particularly discerning shopper may even do this for days before making a final decision.
This means it is crucial that shopping carts are saved so that you can retarget users who've previously added something to the cart but haven't checked out yet.
There are several options to accomplish this, depending on what shopping cart provider you use. Here are a few:
- Save & Share Cart for WooCommerce – allows anyone to save their carts and get a unique link to retrieve the cart later.
- Recover Abandoned Cart for WooCommerce – monitors carts that are abandoned and automatically sends email reminders (with a coupon code, for instance) with a link to return to the cart.
- Shopify Professional or Unlimited – allows you to monitor abandoned carts, and automatically or manually email customers with a permalink to their abandoned checkout
- Apps for Shopify Basic – a number of different apps for saving carts.
Check out our roundup of cart saver tools for more!
8. Show Security Badges
Today's customers are savvy and understand that criminals have moved online. When they shop from an eCommerce shop–particularly one they've never dealt with before–they want to know that they can trust the business with their credit card information.
Including security badges and guarantees is proven to help instill confidence, and reduce cart abandonment.
However, not all trust badges have an equal effect. According to a survey by Baymard Institute, the badges consumers trusted the most were:
- Norton Secured – from $399 per year.
- McAfee Secure – free for up to 500 visitors per month, or $9 per month for unlimited users.
- Truste Certificate – starts at approx. $500 per year.
- Better Business Bureau Accreditation – starts at $51.92 per month for 1 employee (monthly fee calculator).
9. Offer a Variety of Payment Options
A study by comScore indicates that 56% of online shoppers want to see a variety of payment options at checkout.
The particular payment options your customers prefer will vary, so it's important to know your buyer persona.
In general, including the basic cards–like Visa, Mastercard, American Express, etc.–and also PayPal is a safe bet.
MindMeister allows users to pay with American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Discover Card, PayPal, Diners Club, and JCB:
Need a payment solution that works for mobile? Check out our list of the best mobile payment solutions to find the right one for your business!
10. Use Scarcity
Sometimes shoppers just need a little extra motivation in order to complete their purchase. Scarcity creates the urgency that they need to buy now.
One strategy is to display how many units of the product remain. For example, telling the customer that there are only three remaining dresses in the size and style they want can drive them to purchase based on the fear of missing out.
Another way to use scarcity is by adding a countdown clock. This works when you're running flash sales and special deals. When customers see that they only have a few hours to get the deal, they're less likely to waste time shopping around.
Zulily does an amazing job using both forms of scarcity. On the product page, they show a countdown to when the deal will end ("Ends in 2 days 8 hours"), and they prominently display which sizes/styles are already sold out.
They even show how many people are currently viewing the item ("66 viewing"), and how many items were sold recently ("10 just sold")– a brilliant mix of both scarcity and social proof!
Here's a tutorial on the easy way to add a countdown sales timer in Shopify.
And if you really want to boost your sales, check out TrustPulse. With TrustPulse, you can leverage the power of social proof, which works really well next to the urgency of a countdown timer. Adding TrustPulse to your site gives you an instant lift in site conversions by up to 15%.
11. Offer Free Shipping
While only a few dollars in many situations, the cost of shipping is enough to win or lose a sale.
A Forrester study shows that 44 percent of online shoppers who abandon their carts do so because of shipping and handling costs.
KISSmetrics sums up the statistics on shopping cart abandonment as follows:
Because shipping costs are the #1 reason that shoppers abandon their carts, the best thing to do is to offer free shipping. Free shipping is a major selling point, and an incentive for customers to shop with you versus your competitors, so make sure you take full advantage of this fact.
Zappos makes it loud and clear that they offer free shipping with the words, "Ships Free!" in big, bold letters right beneath the price for each product:
This way, shoppers are less likely to look around for a better deal and are more likely to follow through with their purchase on Zappos, even before they add the item to their cart.
We hope this post has given you some more ideas for reducing shopping cart abandonment and to maximize your eCommerce revenue. If you enjoyed this article, you may also want to check out 9 Customer Testimonial Examples That You Can Use on Your Website.

It's not an easy task, picking out a pair of shoes as a gift. When it involves a lady, the best advice is usually to choose something she's already picked out. In the event of a gift for a gentleman, if you are considering shoes as a gift, it might well be because he needs them. Think of this gift as a gift for both of you. He gets a well fashioned, comfortable, crepe sole chukka from Lifetime Collective, while you get to toss away his ratty old sneakers. This gift gives both ways.

Cool YouTube Tricks You Should Know – Online YouTube video is something that has gained popularity faster than anything in the world. YouTube is the place everyone wants to see yet. However, this article is just about to turn out really really helpful for you people. As the tricks, I'm about to tell you will not only improve your YouTube viewing experience. But will also help you out in a lot of different ways.
Hi, I am Akshay let's get this thing started…
Keyboard Shortcuts for YouTube Video/ YouTube Tricks
Now I'm guessing that most of you just click a video sit back relax and watch it. Until your phone rings and you want to pause the video using the spacebar. But that good-for-nothing shortcut only works once you click on the video. Well, there are three keys that don't require a clicking of any sort and just do what you exactly want and those are J, K and L.
These are Rewind Play and Forward respectively. Just like on any media player…
These are just the basic ones. There are more like pressing F to go fullscreen. Or using the number keys like 2 will take you to a point where 20% of the video is finished. 3 for thirty 4 for forty and so on…
Similarly, 0 will take you to the beginning of the video which is also quite handy by the way. There are many more keyboard shortcuts and you can look through all of them in the table.
YouTube Leanback Mode
Since now you have learned all the keyboard shortcuts you might not need that Mouse anymore. To make things even better for such YouTube ninjas. Google has developed a Leanback Mode which basically gives YouTube a Media centre kind of look. which is certainly better or nice.
Here you can perform every action through the keyboard itself. You can also search for videos and the good thing is videos will start playing in full-screen mode by default which is really cool.
Now, this is really helpful in situations where you want to see these videos on a TV. Once you get used to this mode it is definitely going to grow on you.
YouTube Music Lyrics
This next trick or you could say a Chrome extension can help you get perfectly sync lyrics of a YouTube video. Thanks to developers at Musixmatch. It comes in handy when you are watching a video of a foreign artist and you are kind of lost in the lyrics. All you have to do is install the app and forget about it. It will do its job with every music played on your browser. And yes if you're planning a karaoke night at your house party guys this is the way to go.
Play HD Video YouTube By Default
Though YouTube does have an intelligent player that plays videos in the resolution that your internet connection can handle without buffering. But what if you want to watch the videos in HD and anything less than that is a big no for you. Well, there is no native way of fixing YouTube video resolution to a particular level. But there is a cool Chrome extension that lets you do it. Once you have installed this extension all your Youtube videos will play in HD or a video resolution of your choice.
Play YouTube Video in Loop
Your favourite artist has just released a song and it's making you crazy. You are playing it on YouTube all day… However every time the song ends you go back to the tab and play it again and repeat the same for plenty of times.

Note how our lovely flicker (a type of woodpecker) hammers away at the feeder. This sort of bird usually eats grubs and bugs. I have no idea why she showed up that day, or stayed so long. It was a sort of mystical experience.
I also had no idea a Steller's jay would eat suet, but the way he's going at it, I think he'd eat just about anything. I'm posting these here strictly so I can TRY to post them on Facebook.

Career Change Advice
Career Change Advice: Make Your Interview Questions Count!
Here's some good career change advice for your next job interview. When your interviewers give you the chance to ask questions, make them count! Robert Sutton's book – "The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilised Workplace and Surviving One That Isn't, stresses the importance of keeping the wrong person out of an organisation.
This is essential reading for any manager responsible for hiring. But what if you are the applicant? How do you know the job is really for you? Ok, there are lots of ways to discover facts about an organisation, but how do you know if people really are happy working there?
And if they're not, the chances are you won't be either!
"Chief Happiness Officer", Alexander Kjerulf, has some excellent career change advice:
"… what questions can you ask to cut through the corporate b.s. and learn whether this is an actual, honest-to-god, nice workplace?"
Our interview advice is, by all means ask questions that arise from the interview but don't just ask "filler" questions. These may impress the panel, but don't waste a golden opportunity to explore what it's really like to work there. Things being equal, we all want to work in a happy environment, rather than a place filled with unhappy people. So use the interview to see what the interviewers' own thoughts are.
Kjerulf recommends a considered approach:
"You could always ask them straight out at the interview. "Say… I was wondering… Is this a good place to work?" But you pretty much know what they'll say, don't you?
"Why certainly, dear applicant, this company is fully committed to the well-being of its employees. We strive to maintain a high level of employee satisfaction and employees are our number one asset."
Instead try some open-ended questions, aimed at probing the interviewers' experiences at that organisation. Here is Kjerulf's career change advice – some suggestions and his explanation of the value of such questions:
- "What's been your best experience working at this company?
- When do you have the most fun at work?
- Who do you enjoy working with the most here? What do you like about them?
- Which manager do you admire the most in this company? What do you admire about that person?
- What's the greatest thing your manager has done for his/her people?
What's so great about those questions?
- Because you're asking about people's own experiences, these questions are hard to dodge or to answer with platitudes and corporate flim-flam.
- These are all positive questions. Even if the person interviewing you is a serial complainer, you will get some information on what's great about this company.
- If they think these questions are just waaaay off base and inappropriate, that's probably a good sign that they're not into the whole "happy at work" thing.
- Answering positive questions like these puts people in a good mood, which means they're more likely to like you and consequently more likely to hire you."
Whether or not you could ask all of these questions is up to you. If necessary, change them to a form you're more comfortable with. The important thing though, is that you try to find out what sort of organisation you could be joining. Asking open-ended questions about experiences is an ideal way to do just that. Sound career change advice!
Career Change Advice: Come Armed With Some Facts……
If you're worried that these questions might send the wrong message to your interviewers, come armed with some facts. A good place to start is Alexander Kjerulf's own book: Happy Hour is 9 to 5: Learn How To Love Your Job, Create a Great Business and Kick Butt at Work.To quote Kjerulf again:
"This book is about happiness at work. About loving your job – or finding one you can love. Because today, happiness at work is no longer a luxury – it's essential. People are discovering, that when they love their jobs, they are more productive, creative and motivated. They're also happier in life. Similarly, happy companies find they are more efficient, innovative and make more money than their unhappy competitors."
Another excellent source of career change advice is: "The Enthusiastic Employee: How Companies Profit by Giving Workers What They Want". Over the course of thirty years, David Sirota, Louis Mischkind, and Michael Irwin Meltzer surveyed over four million workers, in 89 countries. Most recently, (between 1993 and 2003), their research indicated that there are three keys to keeping staff motivated: equity, achievement and camaraderie.
Filled with practical tips based on exhaustive evidence, this book is "pure good sense on how to keep employees happy and productive". If your interviewer doubts the value of happiness in the workplace, show them this reader comment from Amazon:
"Why is employee enthusiasm important? A number of studies have highlighted the link between employee attitudes and performance. In their studies, the authors found that companies with high employee morale performed more than 20 percent higher than average. Those with low morale performed 5 percent lower (measured by increase in stock value for 2002). Similar results were seen with return on investments and return on assets. Other studies have found returns as high as 30 to 40 percent. (The authors point out that the relationship between enthusiasm and performance is reciprocal. Enthusiasm leads to performance, and high performance increases enthusiasm in a reinforcing cycle.)"
Looking for an organisation that understands the importance of employee enthusiasm is more excellent career change advice!
Career Change Advice for the Happy Manager
These ideas and books are as valuable for the interviewer as for the interviewee. If you're on the other side of the desk, remember it's in your best interest to ensure you hire the right people, and that they're likely to be more productive when they're happy. Happiness and work are not mutually exclusive.
You might like to take some tips from Southwest Airlines hiring process. Providing job candidates with the opportunity to meet existing staff – not just managers – can provide insights for both parties. Consider this extract from a Babson Insights interview with Southwest's CEO, Herb Kelleher:
"For our interviewing in general and looking for leadership in particular, we use model employees to do it. We bring in our mechanics to interview mechanics, pilots to interview pilots, flight attendants to interview flight attendants, etc. We want their insights. They're out in the field, they know the kinds of people we want and so we involve them in the hiring process. And of course they can give us some pretty good insight."
Getting the right staff, in the right jobs is critical. Getting the wrong staff in these jobs can be disastrous! This has to be a mutual process though. Ensuring job applicants are afforded the opportunity to explore your attitude to work is just as important as finding out about theirs. Sound career change advice indeed!

The Ultimate Career Change Advice? Remember – "all that glitters is not gold…."
Here's a story to leave you with….
An HR manager died and found himself before the Pearly Gates.
As St Peter hadn't seen an HR manager in some time, and being in a mischievous mood, he decided to allow the manager to tour both heaven and hell before deciding which he'd prefer. Thinking he'd leave the best until last, the manager first went down to look at hell.
To his surprise, he found it was nothing like he'd imagined. Instead of the fiery inferno he'd expected, he found hell to be more like an exclusive country club. He was met by the devil himself, wearing a business suit and oozing charm and bonhomie. Taken for a tour around the luxury accommodation, across the manicured grounds, around the leisure facilities, the manager was even allowed to play a round of golf on the exquisite, championship course. For the whole day, he was pampered, served and spoiled, wanting for nothing.
The next day the manager was taken for a tour of heaven. Predictably, this was also very impressive. Clean, fresh, relaxing, wholesome, and as welcoming as he'd always envisaged. For much of the day though, he was left alone, to savour heaven's peace and tranquility. At the end of the tour, St Peter asked the HR manager which he was going to choose. After careful reflection, the manager decided to opt for hell. "It's not at all as bad as I'd imagined, he said, "and, as nice as heaven is, I think there's more going on in hell. It's a better fit for me."
Without another word, the manager was transported to the gates of hell. As these opened he found himself standing before a hot, arid, wasteland, filled with toiling labourers. This was nothing like the hell the manager had seen the previous day. The devil greeted him again, but this time it was very different.
"Get to work!" shouted the red-cloaked devil, pushing him roughly into the crowd.
"What's happened?" cried the manager, in anguish. "This is not what you showed me yesterday!"
"Ah," replied the devil. "That's because yesterday we were recruiting. Today you're an employee…."

We at WideWalls sometimes suspect that we're addicted to art. We track it, observe it, write about it and can't spend a day without getting another fix. Recently we've met our match when we encountered a couple of true art addicts running a gallery in Asia. Addicted art gallery owners Elena and Blair Thomson began to collect a variety of artworks in the late 1990s with a desire to open a gallery someday. Almost 15 years later their dream came true when they established a Singapore-based gallery of an intriguing name. Addicted art is an online platform founded in 2015 that quickly positioned itself as one of the hottest places on the developing market of the Far Eastern city-state. For the past nine months, the gallery conducted an important task of presenting talented art-makers from South Asia to the global market but it also introduced local art enthusiasts with exceptional artworks from other parts of the globe.
However, the beginning wasn't easy for Addicted art gallery founders. After establishing a business in such a small market, they had to struggle with numerous challenges including lack of interest in art (in a country that's mainly focused on maths and science) and a limited number of collectors. The gallery overcame these challenges by going global and developing multiple channels of online communication with a goal of reaching art collectors wherever they are. Addicted art's versatile portfolio includes both globally known art masters such as Blek le Rat, Banksy and Shepard Fairey, Western art-makers like Peter Bensen Arnoud and Nicole pon Horvath and South Asian creatives such as Speak Cryptic and Shao Kuang whose works represent a reaction to life in modern Asia. Recently we've contacted Elena and Blair Thomson to find out more about the global art market, South Asian rising stars and the role of street art in political arguments. Scroll down for the details of this interesting conversation.
WideWalls : Why did you name your gallery Addicted art gallery? Are you yourself addicted to art ? When did you first notice this addiction?
Elena & Blair Thomson : We've been collecting art over the past 15 years with the intention of one day starting our own gallery. Our passion for art was ignited in the late 90s when we purchased our very first piece. It was a collage from a gallery located in Berry, a country town in New South Wales, Australia. Fast forward a few years to 2002. It was during this year we were offered the opportunity to work in Singapore. This became the launching pad for more travel and living adventures which included calling London and New York home for a number of years. During our travels we collected art pieces that we absolutely fell in love with. These pieces were a reflection and a reminder of where we have been, and of the fond memories made along the way. We strongly encourage people to buy what they love and not what might make them money because at the end of the day, if it doesn't appreciate in value, you still have a piece you love to look at! In 2007 our voyage came full circle and we once again returned to Singapore where we continued our love affair with art. Our passion rapidly became an addiction which lead to the birth of Addicted Art Gallery in November 2015. So yes, we are definitely addicted!
WW : Having worked in US and England for several years can you compare these art markets with the one in Singapore? Are there many differences or are they all similar parts of one homogeneous, globalized art world?
E&BT : Keep in mind, that whilst we were living in NY and London, we had our collector hats on and not gallerist mindsets. In our experience, we don't think you can compare the New York and London art markets to the one in Singapore. Singapore provides interesting challenges. The first and probably the most significant, is Singapore is a small country – it's not called the "Little Red Dot" for nothing! As a small country, Singapore makes up a humble art market with a modest pool of collectors. In addition, Singapore has just turned 51-years old which is very young when you're comparing to the United States and United Kingdom. In a culture where emphasis has been put on the maths and sciences, the arts, whilst definitely gaining traction, need time to flourish and develop.
There was an interesting article in the Singapore's Straits Times by Huang Lijie, Arts Correspondent on 10th May, 2016, that highlighted the growing pains the country is going through and the current dynamic of the Singapore art market. Basically, the article expressed that the Singapore art market is experiencing a mixed bag of positive and negative. The negative including – the closure of a commercial museum Singapore Pinacotheque de Paris to the exodus of galleries from Gillman Barracks and the demise of the Singapore Art Fair and Milan Image Art & Design Fair. That said, it still packs a punch. The economic value of the visual arts industry has increased over 10 years. Value-add rose from $340.3 million in 2003 to $528.7 million in 2013 (according to Singapore's Cultural Statistics 2015).
We believe that the outlook for the Singapore art market is positive. The Affordable Art Fair continues to evolve; Art Stage is now in its sixth year and most recently, the Singapore Contemporary Art Fair was launched this year. There is also Government support nurturing art audiences from the opening of the National Gallery Singapore in 2015, to free access to museums, focus on art education, support of artists. A great example of the government's commitment was Inside Out. Inside Out (SG:IO), was a traveling showcase that visited three cities – New York, Beijing, and London – with a final crescendo in Singapore. Its aim was to promote local talent by offering them a platform to gain international exposure and recognition. SG:IO featured a sampling of works, performances, and discussions by twenty artists across different disciplines, from visual, performing, and literary arts to food, music, and fashion. As our online platform continues to evolve, we are constantly on the lookout for local talent to help nurture and promote their artwork - and to offer international artists an avenue to introduce their works into Asia.
WW : Which art genres draw the most attention of Singapore's art lovers and collectors?
E&BT : Traditionally there have been (and still are) strong ties to art from China, India, Indonesia, Korea, the Philippines and of course Singapore. Based on our observations, this is evolving. There is a diverse community here in Singapore with a healthy expat community. As a result, 'traditional' Asian tastes have been intermixed with those of expats. Next generation collectors are not always buying the same genre as what their parents have on their walls. Pop art has a huge following. Street art is gaining in recognition and popularity with artists such as Speak Cryptic and Inkten and many others being commissioned to paint walls in public spaces. In addition, with the advent of Art Stage, the Affordable Art Fair and now, the Singapore Contemporary Art Fair, there are more and more international galleries participating in these events and bringing non-Asian art into the country.
WW : Addicted art gives its audience the opportunity to view and buy art through the gallery's website? What are the advantages of having an online gallery? Do you believe that online sales are the future of the art market?
E&BT : Research and experience have shown us that online is the way to go. We're seeing an increasing number of galleries giving up physical space in favor of going online. By 2019 the online art market is expected to be valued at an estimated US$6.3 billion - that's almost three time more than in 2013. The Hiscox Online Art Trade Report 2015 showed that 49% of people purchased art from online platforms, up from 38% in 2014 - so, the market is definitely on the up. More and more institutions and galleries are going online. Examples include Sotheby's and Christie's, both of which have enabled online bidding; and Artnet and Artsy, online resources for buying, selling and auctioning art. Technology is getting better and better, so high-resolution images of a piece, an independent condition report, a certificate of authenticity and a gallery that stands behind is art combines to give a high level comfort to an existing client or a potential one. Also, we want to be international, and having an online platform does just that.
The other point to consider is that people are very often not in the same country as the artwork is, so it's a great way to reach collectors. We also feel that being online takes away the intimidation factor for those who aren't comfortable walking into a gallery. Our clients can browse at their own convenience. And of course, we welcome everyone who needs information to simply ask and we'll help as much as we can. Most art storage facilities function as mini-galleries these days, too. By that we mean there's usually an art viewing room or area within the facility where your art can be hung for clients to see. Does this mean the extinction of the physical gallery? We don't think so. Not everyone is comfortable buying online. There will always be people who love to go to opening nights and exhibitions – if not for the art or social aspect, at least for the wine ;) An online gallery is just another way to share and buy art.
WW : The gallery's portfolio includes three parts-Contemporary Art, Urban&Pop art, and vintage posters? Why have you decided to focus on these genres? Could you name your favorite piece from each section?
E&BT : We've always collected what we love. So as far as focusing on specific art genres, it was not a deliberate strategy on our part. If we don't connect to the piece or the artist in some way it doesn't make it onto the website. We basically practice what we preach – buy what you love! – and adhere by the same philosophy with art that's on the site. We truly believe art is for everyone so by having this mix we think there is a special piece in the collection for every art lover. As for picking favorites, that's tough – particularly when all our pieces are like our children so letting them go always comes with a little hesitancy – and then we remember we're running a business and the art must leave the nest! Elena's Faves are: Tian Xu Tong - Beams of Contentment (Contemporary art), Banksy - Nola (Pop&Urban art), and anything by Cappiello (vintage posters). Blair's faves are: Ting Shao Kuang - Friendship Along The River (Contemporary art), Beejoir - LV Child, (Pop&Urban art) and all vintage posters made by Razzia.
WW : You represent numerous creatives from South East Asia. Is it difficult to promote their works in the art world that can often be western-centric?
E&BT : There has been increasing recognition of the importance of South East Asian contemporary art. It also helps that there is an impressive collector base in Asia who specifically focus on this genre. Art Stage Singapore is a great example of a platform which promotes South East Asian contemporary art. This year Art Stage introduced the Southeast Asia Forum. The forum featured a series of talks that brought together architects, urbanists, social scientists, scholars, and artists to "challenge and re-imagine cities as they continue to evolve in the face of shared global conditions." The accompanying exhibition explored the artist's role as a "seismograph of society's pulse in the face of urbanisation" (source: Art Stage Singapore). The franchise has expanded with the launch of Art Stage Jakarta (August 5th – 7th). Indonesia commands a huge art scene and market. Art Stage created a doorway for international collectors to explore Indonesian art and for local artists to gain greater exposure to the global art world. The growing importance of South East Asian art has also caught the attention of auction houses. Sotheby's, Christie's and Artnet all curate regular auctions specific to this genre.
WW : Who are the most exciting creatives from this part of the globe that our readers should pay special attention to?
E&BT : We are big fans of Singaporean artist Speak Cryptic (aka Farizwan Fajari) and Singapore-based artist Mojoko (aka Steve Lawler). Speak Cryptic is a visual artist with a strong passion for music and, when not making art, he spends time playing in bands here in Singapore. He uses his art to deal with issues relating to cultural identity. He has a tribe of characters which are inspired by his knowledge of current affairs and his observations of loss and adversity in the face of globalization. Mojoko on the other hand explores Trash Pop culture combining the old with the new. He uses mixed media such as computer programming, digital sculpture, painting and printmaking. His work is a reaction to the bombardment of images of today's visual culture, he reworks and spits out mutations of the glossy pop, advertising world. The work is a reaction to living in modern Asia. Mojoko has a couple of shows coming up. He curated and is participating in the MASKS show at the Diesel Art Gallery in Tokyo and another installation in Taipei at Pon Ding Space so if you're nearby, we recommend you pop in and say "hi" – he's a great guy!
WW : We couldn't help but notice a variety of street art pieces on the gallery's website. How do you explain the global appeal of the movement and how do you see it developing in the years to come?
E&BT : Street art can be quite polarizing. People either love it, connect with it or hate it. That's the beauty of street art and whether you agree with it or not, it asks you to think about things differently – or agrees with your own opinions. You only have to turn to the world of politics to see the power of street art in action. In a world where sensational politics, extreme figureheads, hyper-responsive global communication and temporary forms of art collide, conditions are constantly ripe for satirizing leaders, candidates and government decisions. Street art has given rise to hilarious new ways to join in and respond to political arguments as they are happening, almost in real time. Never before has art been able to play a role in political life so immediately and shockingly.
Point in case is the US Presidential Race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. So far, Trump has had his head turned into Instagrammable excrement by Hanksy, his mouth has become a urinal in the photoshopped work by William Duke and Brandon Griffin based on an image of the men's toilets at Belushi's Bar in Paris, and he's been caught out kissing Putin in Lithuania care of Mindaugus Bonanu. And while this does not quite constitute street art, it did turn into street violence: LA-based Illma Gore is the artist responsible for painting The Donald with a tiny penis, and received a black eye for her trouble. After receiving numerous threats (of the death and legal kind), to withdraw her painting from view, on both social media and in the Maddox Gallery in London where it currently hangs for sale over the $1 million mark, Gore was attacked in the streets where she lives by Trump-supporters. Hillary has also not escaped attention. The Australian artist Lushsux recently painted a mural of the Presidential candidate wearing a US flag swimsuit with dollar bills in the waistband. The mural, which was originally captioned: Stupid sexy Hillary became a viral sensation on social media.
Local council urged the Melbourne business – whose wall the mural was painted on – to remove it, citing it was offensive because it depicted a near naked woman (and not because it was Hillary Clinton). Instagram also took it upon themselves to shut down Lushsux's account. The artist censored himself by covering Clinton with a niqāb. The caption now reads: "This is no longer a wall of a supposed 'offensive' and near naked Hillary Clinton, it is now a depiction of a beautiful Muslim woman. No reasonable person would consider this offensive." Street art, in our opinion, is here to stay as a credible art genre and social commentary.
WW : Speaking of "the years to come", could you tell us a little bit about your future plans? What can we expect in the following months?
E&BT : We turned 9 months old this month so yes, we're happy to say, our business has grown. Sales are increasing and more and more opportunities are knocking on our door. During this time, we've gotten a handle on social media (that is a beast all its own). We've gone from complete unknowns with zero followers and likes in the Facebook, Instagram and Twitter-verse to a healthy and growing daily follower base. We're also taking things one step further and are currently developing an App which will make the decision-making process even easier for clients and potential buyers. The App will allow our collectors to bring the gallery into their own home or office. Look out for our soft launch towards the end of September. We've met some wonderful people and we're working with amazing and talented artists. Our arty adventure is going full steam ahead!

This show featured a brand-new body of work based on the artist's studied observations of Borobudur and the horizons of Java. Commenting on his residency with STPI, I gained value, spiritually, by this experience and I believe this also added a new color to my art." ; Images courtesy of Addicted art gallery

Shortly before TCU's game with West Virginia yesterday, it was reported that Brandon Carter would not play due to what was only described as a "family situation."
The way Gary Patterson talked after the overtime loss to the Mountaineers, the absence could bleed into next weekend and possibly beyond.
The head coach confirmed to the media in his postgame talk Saturday that Carter has been granted what the Fort Worth Star-Telegram labeled as a leave of absence. Of course, Patterson did not get into any particulars or specifics of the situation involving Carter, other than it appears to be family-related.
"It was a personal thing," the coach said. "It has nothing to do with me. It had to do with him personally, off the field, and what he needed to do with his family."
As for an ETA on a return, Patterson simply stated "I haven't talked to him" when asked if Carter would be back for the final quarter of the season.
Carter entered Week 10 second on the team in receptions with 17 and tied for third in receiving yards with 197. Coming into this season, he was the Horned Frogs' leading returning receiver as his 36-590-6 statline from 2012 was second only to the departed Josh Boyce.
In mid-August, Carter underwent hand surgery, although it did not cost him any actual game time.

South Africa in economic breakdown: Zuma's grim legacy in charts – but his friends are having fun
South Africans have become accustomed to heaving a collective sigh of relief as ratings agencies continue to stave off a ratings downgrade. But, South Africa's ratings have moved close to sub-investment grade with President Jacob Zuma at the helm, as the graphs below indicate. The rand's value has declined steadily, too, with a few shock falls reflecting unexpected political developments. A sharp rise in unemployment and steadily declining economic growth over the past five years add to a picture that confirms that Zuma has been very, very bad for South Africa – if you judge his performance on whether most people are better off. Zuma's friends, on the other hand, have done very well for themselves. This was highlighted when Ajay Gupta appeared in the ranks of the country's wealthiest, shooting from nowhere to join the super-rich. The Sunday Times estimates he is South Africa's seventh-richest person and the country's top black billionaire. The Gupta family have featured in a report on state capture – essentially a strategy by politicians and their friends to get their hands on state assets through business deals. These charts make a laughing stock of the once-respected senior figures in the ANC who have propped up Zuma and allowed him to continue running the country into the ground. Is it any wonder Zuma is expecting dissent? – Jackie Cameron
By Arabile Gumede
Bloomberg – South African President Jacob Zuma will need to confront more than opposition lawmakers disrupting his annual speech at the opening of parliament as he seeks to reassure the nation the economy has turned a corner.
Zuma, who has survived five bids by opposition legislators to force him from office since he took the job in 2009, is scheduled to address the National Assembly at 7 p.m. in Cape Town on Thursday. Zuma has ordered the army to be deployed to "maintain law and order" for the opening of parliament, and the third-biggest party, the Economic Freedom Fighters, is expected to obstruct proceedings, as its members did in 2016.
The speech comes at a time when unemployment is at the highest in 13 years, economic growth last year was the slowest since a recession in 2009, and the country is struggling to retain its investment-grade credit rating.
These four charts show the economic challenges the nation faces as Zuma addresses lawmakers:
Economic growth probably slowed to 0.4 percent last year, according to central bank estimates. This was due to a drought, weak demand from the nation's main export partners and low commodity prices. Political infighting in Africa's most-industrialised economy, including a police investigation into Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, has also cast a shadow over the state's efforts to boost confidence and growth.
While the Reserve Bank said on Jan. 24 the rate of expansion will probably accelerate to 1.1 percent this year, political uncertainty remains a risk to the economy, said Iraj Abedian, chief executive officer at Pan-African Investments and Research Services in Johannesburg.
Zuma "is at the centre of it," Abedian said by phone on Feb. 7. "Growth at the moment is primarily affected by the fear of political meltdown and an open battle between himself and the finance minister."
Zuma and Gordhan, who will present his budget on Feb. 22, have been at loggerheads since his reappointment to the Treasury in 2015, disagreeing about how the tax-collection agency is managed and over Zuma's nuclear-power expansion plans, which Gordhan says the country may not be able to afford. This, and a police investigation into Gordhan for allegedly overseeing the setting up of a spy unit at the tax agency during his time as its commissioner, hurt the rand. The local currency plunged more than 3 percent against the dollar on the day Gordhan was summoned to appear in court on fraud charges.
"It's a bit of tug of war at the moment, because the rand's fundamentals are looking quite positive, but you do have political risk," Russell Lamberti, a chief strategist at ETM Investment Services in Cape Town, said by phone. "There is risk that the rand falls off with some bad political decision, but I think those will be short-lived."
The rand declined 0.2 percent to 13.434 per dollar at 7:50 a.m. in Johannesburg, paring the gain this year to 2.3 percent.
Unemployment in South Africa increased to 27.1 percent in the quarter through September, the highest since 2003, according to data from the International Monetary Fund. Thirty-eight percent of people between 15 and 34 are unemployed, according to statistics agency data, highlighting the economy's skills shortage while poverty levels and anger over rising tuition costs have led to violent protests by students.
"There is very little inspiring businesses to hire in the current economy and the lack of policy stability is not helping either," Azar Jammine, chief economist at Econometrix in Johannesburg, said by phone.
Slow economic growth and political infighting are some of the key factors rating companies have highlighted as risks to South Africa's investment-grade credit rating. While S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings Ltd. kept their assessments of the nation's foreign-currency debt at one level above junk late last year, and Moody's Investors Service's assessment is one step higher, there is still a chance that South Africa's debt will be downgraded this year, according to ETM's Lamberti.
"The downgrade is tied to how bad the politics and political decisions could be," Lamberti said. "The story with the ratings agencies isn't really going to change."

YBLC BLOG Volume 5 September 24, 2016
"Some of my feelings have been stored so long they have freezer burn". Melody Beattie author of "The Language of Letting Go".
This saying really spoke to me…
If you are struggling to find clarity with something in your life personally or professionally and it is not available to you today, which makes sense to you? Trust that things will become clear, OR struggle to gain perspective before it is time? Believe me, the latter will make you BSC (bat-sh-t crazy)!
When the Beast of fibromyalgia is pelting me with pain, is there a lesson? Pain hurts. It does not feel good. In the past, I tended to want to be in control & figure it all out. It wasn't a conscious decision.
Today, I remind myself that it will only hurt for a while, to get off my own case.
I look around and see what were the triggers that let the Beast out to harass me. The weather? (I am the Great Canadian Weather Weenie.) Working like a mad woman with no thought to my well-being? (Have to keep firing her!) I don't always know what the source is. I have learned to be ok with that and I push back when my boundaries are crossed, no guilt.
After being widowed for the second time, I kept hearing the Beatles song "Let it Be". I can visualize, even now, where I was and what I was doing when it started playing…with family, in the car, coming out of a restaurant in Ottawa before I moved here.
How things in my life would work out sure wasn't clear. Sensitive is my middle name. I was driving myself crazy agonizing over the"I should" and "I shouldn't" and "what if's". That was on top of an overload of grief. I was used to working things out personally by myself and professionally with my husband, who was also my business partner. Taking the offer of business mentorship from a friend and savvy entrepreneur was my first best step that year.
In hindsight, I know the "Beast" originated from years of me not respecting my boundaries, being & doing everything for everybody and looking for approval from people who had none to give.
For a very long time I hung onto the inevitable painful feelings that are a part of growing past grief towards acceptance, healing and reviving to the other side. I have gotten to know myself much better throughout this process and am able to look at my life and realize many more gifts I received along the way.
It takes COURAGE to be willing to stand still and feel what you must feel. Take responsibility for your own self-care and watch how the flow and freedom of healing energy unleashes your potential! If you haven't already, you will learn what the meaning of courage truly is. September is pain awareness month. Stop the pain.

Taking the hassle OUT of healthy.
My Favourite Things in COOPER'S KITCHEN
You didn't drop in and I just had to. Ok, ok I ate the whole thing myself. Nope didn't share even a bite!
Of course, not all at once as too much sugar and I don't dance very well.
But you've got to try these brownies! or anything from this company located in Coaticook not far from my home town of Ayer's Cliff. Not this is what I call a time saver and it isn't made by Betty "you know who". Want gluten-free that tastes good? This prepared mix is free of potato starch, white flours, and additives. Just plain YUM and way healthier than most with dense whole grains (no wheat) like amaranth, quinoa and buckwheat. Watch video

October 20, 2011
When we were little kids and went to kindergarten, we had lunch boxes. They were HUGE though. Huge. Big enough to fit in a sandwich, a thermos (though we never used the thermos for soup), juice boxes, snacks, everything. They were big, bulky things, and they always had some awesome sticker on them for branding that would make them awesome. They'd all be the same shape, but the sticker and colour would make it so much more special. Ooh! Timmy's got a Transformers Lunch Box. Khal Drogo has a Power Ranger lunch box! Suzy's got a stupid My Pet Pony lunchbox, or something. They were awesome, and, come to think of it, we really miss them now! We could totally use them when we go to the coffeeshops to edit for hours.
Korea also has lunch boxes, and we're reviewing them today, but they're a lot smaller. You could probably fit three or four Korean/Japanese/Asian lunch boxes into one North American one. But that's probably because these Korean lunch boxes are a lot more efficient with their space. A LOT MORE. But the meals are also a lot smaller. A LOT. Maybe – and this could be a hunch – that's why Korean kids are a lot slimmer than North American kids?
OooOooh…I feel a rant coming on.
So, you know, that last idea brings us kinda to a point that we want to make. We just flew in to Toronto yesterday on a whim. We're visiting Canada now for three weeks, and we didn't announce it to anyone because we wanted to surprise the hell out of our families – who had no clue about our visit. We made videos of their surprises and you'll see it soon! Anyhow, in our jet lagged state, after waking up at 4AM today and going to a 24 hour diner for a CHEAP $5.00 greasy breakfast (man Korea really needs some of those!) we decided to walk through a Shopper's Drug Mart, which is like a pharmacy/general stuff store.
We walked up and down the aisles and even though we were like "OH MY GOD THERE'S SO MUCH STUFF WE MISSED!" we're also a bit appalled at how much junk there is to eat here. And the portions are HUGE. HUUUUUGE. Over in the soda section, we saw freaking huge cans of everything, including Red Bull. Soda in Korea is sold in the slim size half can, or you can buy a small plastic bottle (of course they have 2L ones as well). And the bags of chips – even though we were really craving Doritos – shocked us at how massive they are. Seriously! The bags here are so big compared to South Korean chip bags. And the aisles are towering, massive columns of far too much selection. Martina went to the shampoo section and just starred with a dropped jaw trying to figure out where to begin. She couldn't even reach the top shelf, it was a massive tower of stuff. BTW, what's up with shampoo for "Long Hair"? I get shampoo for "Damaged" or "Curly" or "Smooth" but "Long Hair?" WTF DOES THAT DO!!?? We felt tiny and overwhelmed by stuff, and – this may be the jet lag talking- we felt just culture shocked.
Ah! That was a long rambling way of just saying that North American kids have huge lunch boxes, while South Korean kids don't. South Korean kids are also a lot slimmer than North American kids. And, lastly, North American junk food portions are a lot bigger than South Korean junk food portions. There! And, the most important point of this ramble is this: South Korean lunch boxes are sooOOOoooOOo much cuter! Man, ran out of steam to talk about lunch boxed due to the ramble…and the jet lag.
Anyhow, enough of that. It's time for our Wonderful Treasure Find Care Package Giveaway! Woohoo! This month we're giving away the Massage Balls, the High Heel Foot Pain Fixers, the Couple Charms, and now this lunchbox. Woot! To win the care package, you have to be a Subscriber of our YouTube channel, and you have to answer this skill testing question:
If you had this cute Happy Togerder lunch box, what would be the ?
We'll pick our favourite answer next week, and mail out your loot. Woot! Just a note, though: we won't be able to mail out your package for a while, until we get back to Korea on November 6th. Yay! On a side note: anything you'd like to see us do while we're in Toronto? We have a couple of exciting video ideas planned, including a Canadian kpop survey special, and a special edition WTF Canada (involving Canadians figuring out WTF Korean stuff…weeee!!!!) but if you've got any other suggestions we're open to hearing them. Yeah! Jet lag sucks!!!! *Martina and Simon fall asleep on the ground*
And on that note, here are this week's Bloopers:

These were part of a huge line of peeling and faded circus posters along a heavily graffiti covered stone wall outside a large four storey secondary school, currently out of use as it is undergoing repairs and renovation. Just before Christmas, the new roof that was being put on the school caught fire, cause unknown, and all the new work done was lost, and further damage created by the fire itself.
The tatty circus posters, the burnt and broken school, the children separated and shifted away to be educated in other schools…. the themes all seems to come together with this image.

Today is a superb happening day for me because early morning got knowledge sharing session. My team lead was a smart as when we were arranging the table, she said she was very busy with the work. After the meeting, she was very busy too! Basically, she did NOTHING for the session as the slides was prepared by us, the room was arranged by us and the food was ordered by us. Speaking about the food, it SUCKS! She insisted we should order pizza which is so troublesome and when the food arrived, they are COLD! -.-.. Sometimes, is not that I purposely wanna go against her but somehow, she is as sucky as the food, so hard to respect sucky stuff lor.. LOL!
Hmm.. lets just forget about the presentation la, it was OK lor.. The funniest part of Friday is - I was snapping pix with my dad and uncles for no reason! Sajalah all dressed up so nice that day so I take pix lu! :P

Hi, everybody! Today, I took my first walk in the park in over two weeks. I've missed my walks. It was so refreshing to be back out there again even though it was a little hotter than usual. I hope you enjoy some of my photos from today and a couple of weeks ago, including a few of my own plants.
In the third one below, look for the little, star-shaped, black and white insect on one of the leaves on the right. I was so fascinated by it because I had never before seen anything like it–so fascinated that I got close enough to take this picture–whereas, any other time, I would have hurt myself trying to run from it :).
And finally, the last three are some of my outdoor plants.
Have a wonderful evening!
From my heart to yours,

Make-A-Wish Connecticut raises over $550,000 at Celebrating Wishes Ball
Make-A-Wish Connecticut celebrated 30 years of wishes come true at their annual Celebrating Wishes Ball on Saturday, Nov. 5, at the Greenwich Country Club. The annual dinner, dance and auction raised more than $550,000 this year, which will go towards granting the wishes of Connecticut children with life-threatening medical conditions
In their 30 years of existence, Make-A-Wish Connecticut has granted more than 2,700 wishes for local children.
John Crowley, a Wish Dad, former National Board Chair and the inspiration for the film Extraordinary Measures, was the special guest of the event and began the evening's program with a speech about his family's journey and the impact of a wish. Following his speech, Pam Keough, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish Connecticut thanked everyone for coming and helping the event be so successful.
Event emcees Michael Kay of the YES Network and Jodi Applegate introduced nearly a dozen Wish Kids to the 400 guests in attendance. The "Wish Ambassadors" had their wishes granted over the past year and joined guests to share their unique stories throughout the evening.
Two particular Wish Kids were honored at the 30th Anniversary celebration this year: 6-year-old Quinn, who wished to go to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, and 10-year-old Connor, who wished to go on a Mediterranean cruise. Quinn and Connor shared their stories of how their wishes gave them hope, strength and joy to continue to fight their conditions.
The event's co-chairs Brooke and Nicholas Bohnsack, Gina and John Filippelli, Sharon and David Platter and Julie and John Rivard served as leaders of a team of volunteers.

In a blog post, Kevin Bankston, a senior staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), said that what Soghoian reported was "more shocking and frightening" than anyone imagined.
"Eight million would have been a shocking number, even if it had included every single legal request to every single carrier for every single type of customer information; That Sprint alone received eight million requests just from law enforcement only for GPS data is absolutely mind-boggling," Bankston wrote.

A former Ossining teacher now registered as a sex offender after being convicted of raping a teenager has reported a move in Westchester County.
The New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services issued an alert this week to residents in Westchester regarding the residency of 37-year-old John Azabache, who has moved to a residence on South Regent Street in Port Chester.
The Division of Criminal Justice Services has assigned Azabache as a level two threat, which means he is at "moderate risk of a repeat offense." He has also been designated as a sexually violent sex offender.
According to the Division of Criminal Justice Services, Azabache had deviate sexual intercourse with his 16-year-old victim in March 2013. He was arrested by the Ossining Village Police Department and convicted of third-degree rape of a minor under the age of 17 in September that year and sentenced to 10 years probation. Azabache is now under the jurisdiction of the Port Chester Village Police Department.
Further info on Azabache from the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services can be accessed after entering the code in the CAPTCHA box found by clicking here.
