With dark night closing in and the weather seemingly forever damp, we can reflect on a last couple of TORQ bursts as the season shakes, shivers and slides to an end. Actually the season never ends, with plenty of muddy fun to be had if you look carefully and of course are eager enough! The last 3 months have gone pretty quickly with the team in action wherever they see an event and of course, as always are not happy unless there’s a splash of Orange & Black on the podium.
Early September saw some pretty grim storms with what seemingly was a whole year’s downpouring of rain dumped in a couple of hours. Around the same sort of time was the inaugrial, ‘TORQ in your Sleep’ the 12 hour enduro organised by the superb Gorrick team and of course sponsored by TORQ!
While events up and down the UK were facing cancellation due to the deluge, nearly 400 keen riders, armed with sowesters, wellies and a paddle or two (many who had never ridden this type of event before), were prepared to brave the worse to take part in this first Gorrick 12 hr. Luckily the course selected to run the race; at Minley Manor proved to be pretty weather proof although there were a few sections that took on the guise of swamps, most was perfectly ridable, though tough, bringing the phrase, “Moist and Chewy” to mind!
Out to do us proud were, James D’Arcy, Nick Collins & Stephen James, in the men’s team, with Phil Coad pairing up with Charles Newton-Mason for the men’s pairs. Leaving James Lister and Steve Corbyn to tackle the 8 mile course solo.
Phil’s pair partner Charles Newton-Mason dodging a few puddles.
It proved to be a typical ‘Gorrick’ course, with plenty of fast flowing singletrack, linked by short sharp bursts of fire road plus a few technical ‘surprises’ thrown in just to keep riders on their toes. The biggest surprise had to be the car alarming, ear drum shattering bangs that went of randomly over the day as the Army decided to play manoeuvres in the adjoining field!
TORQ support even in the muddy night.
After 12 long hours in the saddle with the occasional heavy downpour to tackle, the results were in with TORQ racking up two podium spots with both the men’s team and the pairs taking good honest 3rd spots. Meanwhile in the solo, both TORQ riders have had better days in the office, with both having to bale, due to unforeseen circumstances. Lister racked up 9 laps to still pick up 18th spot while Corbyn, only scored 4 laps before he had to disappointedly walk off the track.
Next up and it was the 8th Dusk til Dawn. Through the history of this event it has never rained. nothing, zilch, nada. I have been known to stay up all night at this event with little more than a thermal T shirt and a pair of jeans separating me from the elements.
However, as the whole year seems to have been out of kilter weather wise, so it was at D2D. So it rained some. Actually it rained some… and then some more and just to make sure, it rained even more. 12 solid hours of a virtually torrential downpour. And still they came from all over the UK to take part in this very popular event. Even a little bit of dampness couldn’t put them off. Though canoes may have been a better bet at this race for some.
Despite all this dampening down of the trails, turning the flowing singletrack into just flowing streams, the race went on in earnest, with no dampening of enthusiasm, despite the horrendous conditions. Riders exhausted themselves, slipping and sliding around those long 12.3 miles as it wound itself round around the arena, dropping into a number of mission impossible bomb holes and incorporating some wicked soul sapping draggy climbs, which as the night wore on got worse and worse as the rain continued to fall.
In amongst this carnage some fierce battles were being played out with TORQ raising the standard for success in the mixed team. Headed by boss Matt Hart, he led a determined team of Rob Barker, Lydia Gould and Matt Loakes to the top step, outmanouvering TORQ fuelled AquickRelease.com.
Charles Newton –Mason took on the challenge of solo but had to retire defeated after just 5 1/2 hours, racking up 6 hard earned laps along the way.
I thought it was fantastic, I think Thetford can be a bit boring in the dry, but from a purely riding point of view whenever I ride here in the wet it such good fun, it’s really slidy, but I’m a bit weird like that! Great result for the team they did well and it’s good to see so many riders here at the end of the season is brilliant. Great to go away with a win. My challenge was the climb out of the last bomb hole, it didn’t look like it was ridable, but in fact it was so grippy it rode really well, oh and I just liked riding through all the puddles. It’s always a great event as always, despite the weather, this is just the story of mountain biking in the UK in 2008. Perhaps when the economy improves the weather might follow!
600 competitors rallied forth for the traditional start of winter and despite some pretty horrid conditions and a grim weather forecast it all came good in the end, for everyone, including TORQ, who wrapped up a tasty 1st in the 4hr enduro thanks to Billy Joe Whenman pucturing but mainly to all the hard work put in by TORQ rider Stephen James.
To say he was delighted after a massive battle with vet Paul Ashby, could I think be an understatment, his grin could be seen as far away as Ipswich. Other TORQ representatives out on the cracking 7.5 mile course that weaved it’s sinuous way through wooded singletrack, leaving no room for any respite were Steve Corbyn who picked his way through a busy field to take 11th in the 2hr race and Ben Murray returning to the sport after a bit of an absence. He was just delighted to be out there whizzing around, I’m sure we’ll see more of him as 2009 unfolds.
Ben Murray fights for a piece of rare winter sunshine.
That was a great 4 hr battle out there; it started out really quick, Billy’s (Whenman) fault! Then he (Billy) punctured then came past us. After that I got in quite a nice groove with Paul Ashby, we helped each other along quite a lot, so I just concentrated keeping a nice rhythm with him out there, concentrating on not making mistakes and keeping it flowing and we just kept pushing on as hard as we could. After about another lap we caught Billy again, I think he’d punctured again, I’m not quite sure what was going on in his race, it seemed a bit unfortunate for him, but yeah in the end it all came good for me and I’m so pleased. I just kept stuffing myself full of gels and kept the pedal on the gas. Paul let me go on the grassy climb, just a few minutes from the end, I think he had plenty left but he just said go. It was really good riding with him and thanks to him for a good afternoon and thanks too to my partner Joanna for standing out in the wind and handing me my bottles. The course was fantastic, despite the heavy rains last night, it rode well, it was fast, and grippy and flowed so well and of course this is my local course I know it fairly well. Considering Thetford is reputedly ‘flat’ there were a few killer bits out there, especially the grassy climb, by the 8th lap it started to get pretty heavy going. I’m so pleased this is my first win, so obviously my training is hitting the mark, so I guess I should thank Matt Hart from Torq too!!! I’ve set myself a bit of a high target haven’t I for the rest of the series now!
Finally in November it was the chance to get a ‘Soggy Bottom’ under your belt, as the first round of this popular South West series kicked off. Held in what must be regarded as the spiritual home for XC racing in the UK, Newnham Park, Plymouth, riders were confronted with the best the course could throw at them: a compact 6kms stuffed to the brim with everything you could want, or maybe not! A steep climb rising up into the woods was the first obstacle they encountered and then they hit mud, lots of mud and continued to slip and slide their way along, dipping and diving through masses of fun singletrack, tackling slippery bomb holes, before some fast descending followed by a soul sapping grassy incline, popping them into another fast and furious descent, then it was a quick blast over the river before making their way back to the arena, to do it all again! Flying the TORQ flag were Matt Loakes and Phil Coad, looking keen , eager and a bit cold on the start line of the Expert/Elite race with 5 long laps lying ahead, including 5 cold river crossings…plus Rob Barker keen to put the miles in and show young Barker and ‘Team Small TORQ’ rider Joe how it should be done.
The ‘Soggy’ certainly lived up to it’s name!
Matt and Phil battled hard but Phil didn’t have the best of starts or middle and pulled out after 3 laps, leaving Matt to rally on to finally finish 4th. Senior Barker rode well but could only pinch 10th spot in the vets, whilst son Joe, did one better and grabbed 9th in the juveniles, despite the river crossing trying to sweep him away!
Expect a TORQ showing at the next round of the Whyte Winter Series on the 7th December, I’m sure Stephen will be trying his hardest to replicate his win. Then it’s into 2009 and with Xmas cobwebs to clear and New Year’s resolutions to uphold I’m sure there’ll be an early flurry of activity of TORQ riders as they start upping their winter training. See you out there!

To change the global loyalty rewards program industry, the Gabrotech startup is developing several services — all combined into one platform — that enable users to turn casual reward points into an exchangeable digital asset. It includes a feature of exchanging points for cryptocurrencies or fiat currencies or spending funds via prepaid cards connected to the platform. The tokensale of the project will last until Sept. 1.
Loyalty reward programs are becoming more popular, yet they struggle to deliver an appropriate experience to customers. According to statistics provided by Gabrotech, a single household is enrolled in 25 loyalty programs on average, but almost 80 percent of customers are “generally not happy” with their programs. In addition, Loyalty Program Operators (LPOs) do not hurry to boost loyalty program usage, considering that expired bonuses are an additional profit.
The Gabrotech startup, created by a team of six blockchain enthusiasts, is striving to change an estimated $500 billion global market of loyalty reward programs by developing a universal Gabro platform on the blockchain with several key features.
The Gabro Digital Wallet allows users to gather rewards from different merchants, change them for other rewards or transfer them to other users. Rewards may also be converted into cryptocurrencies, which can then be stored, transferred or exchanged into fiat currencies.
To spend funds, Gabrotech offers prepaid cards in the form of a virtual or a physical card that is connected to the main application. The company plans to offer spending options “in over 200 countries with 60 million outlets,” aiming to achieve this through a partnership with “a leading global payment services provider” that will be announced in the future, according to the official website. Cards can also be used to withdraw cash via ATMs, as well as provide a return of 0.1-0.5 percent from every transaction.
Using the Gabro Wallet, users can track the history of payments with the card, set redemption targets for reward points and get personalized notifications when achieving a certain redemption level.
All Gabrotech services utilize the Gabro token (GBO). It serves as a means of payment for merchants, while users obtain access to the platform by staking a certain amount of GBO. They can also unlock special discounts and use GBO to exchange assets.
For LPOs, Gabro offers the O2O Analytics Platform to analyze current customers’ trends and preferences. It is also a tool for geo-targeted advertising, allowing end-users in a chosen location to receive offer notifications from merchants based on demographics, interests and spending behavior.
Several partners have joined Gabro to support the creation of the platform. Espeo Blockchain is helping develop the blockchain technology, China Unicom is collaborating in the area of big data and cloud solutions, and the Adpost advertising network will test the O2O Analytics Platform and adopt the GBO token as the loyalty currency for its customers. The Deloitte Center for Financial Services is also supporting Gabro by bringing its blockchain solutions for major protocols.
Last but not least, Gabrotech has recently announced a partnership with trade.io, which “provides efficient, fair and safe blockchain technologies to financial market participants, along with a truly unique community-led crypto-to-crypto exchange.” trade.io has invested $2 million worth of GBO tokens in Gabro, and the CEO of trade.io, Jim Preissler, has become a marketing advisor for the project.
To develop the platform, Gabrotech has initiated an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) in August, with a $50 million hard cap. The event will conclude on Sept. 1, followed by the launch of the loyalty campaign. There is an opportunity of getting a bonus of up to 20 percent, depending on the amount of the contribution. The release of the platform is scheduled for December.

My undergraduate and postgraduate studies were undertaken at the University of Otago. I was a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (Maryland, USA) from 2001-2004, after which I joined the Department as a lecturer.
My research programme centres on the physics of ultra-cold gases. This is a high profile field of physics in which 8 key researchers have been awarded Nobel Prizes since 1997. I have established and lead a theory group that has interests in a variety of areas: finite temperature theory, optical lattices, probing and spectroscopic techniques. Recently my interest has been focused on Bose condensates in which the atoms have either magnetic (spinor) degrees of freedom or dipole-dipole interactions.

Hi friends! I bought Artrage Lite yesterday, and i wanna know if there´s an especial forum for resources only for this version? As i saw, not who is made for Artrage fits on Lite, i am right?
All the presets and custom sticker sprays will work, with the occasional exception of some tool settings that are different in Lite. Anything that was made for ArtRage 3 (Studio), should work without a hitch, which is anything before 2013 (Lite is very, very similar to Studio).

Johnny is one of the few humans in Dracula's Pack, but he doesn't seem to mind. Married to Drac's daughter Mavis, and father to half-vampire son Dennis, Johnny always manages to stay mellow, but he’s stoked about the cruise’s all-night monster music festival.
Murray the mummy is a frequent guest at Hotel Transylvania, one of Dracula's best friends, and a former entertainer to the Pharaohs of Egypt. Murray's plans for his vacation cruise include being at the center of the pool party, playing water volleyball, and pampering himself with an all-day seaweed rewrap!
Dracula's daughter Mavis is the organizing force behind this summer's family vacation, and just wants her father to get some rest and relaxation. Mavis is looking forward to having a blast with the entire Drac Pack and getting some quality time with Johnny, Dennis, and her overworked father.
Dennis is the half-human, half-vampire son of Mavis and Johnny, and loves shape-shifting and his new pet: an elephant-sized puppy named Tinkles. As Dennis can’t bear to leave the mischievous puppy behind, he secretly sneaks Tinkles onto the cruise and disguises the massive dog as one of the passengers.
As a long-standing member of Drac's Pack, Blobby is always up for adventure and a good time! When not tagging along with his friends, he also serves as his own lost and found and often discovers an unexpected thing or two inside his gelatin body.
As owner and hotel manager of Hotel Transylvania, Dracula spends most of his time taking care of his guests and never has time for himself. After agreeing to take a vacation with his family on the world’s first ever cruise for monsters, he now has to tackle learning how to unwind and taking the long-forgotten steps into the world of dating.
After repairing the estranged relationship with his son, Dracula and accepting his human grandson-in-law, Johnny, Vlad joins his family on the monster cruise. Unlike his son, Vlad has no problem trading in cave and cape for a swimsuit and sunscreen!
Longtime friend of Dracula, and regular guest at Hotel Transylvania, Griffin joins the family cruise with his new invisible girlfriend, Crystal. When not spending time with his new love, Griffin does not hesitate to give Drac dating advice -- all of it terrible.
Wayne the Werewolf and his wife Wanda are most excited for the kids’ club on board the cruise ship, so they can spend some quality time together. Looking forward to getting away from taking care of dozens of children, Wayne and Wanda hope to pack a decade full of "me time" into their time on the cruise.
Daughter of Wayne the Werewolf, Winnie is wild, rambunctious, and always game for a mischievous adventure. She also has a not-so-secret crush on Dennis.
Drac's best friend Frank has a good head on his shoulders, most of the time. He wishes he could give Drac better advice about dating, but he's never been on one. He and his wife were made for each other, literally.

SOUTH BEND Â? Standing in front of 70 fresh, young minds, University of Notre Dame admissions adviser Christy Greene posed a common yet strangely complex question.
"What," Greene asked inside the sparkling new Jordan Hall of Science, "do you want to be when you grow up?"
The audience of Edison Intermediate Center eighth-graders began to look around and smile at each other. Very soon hands were darting into the air.
"A pharmacist," one girl said.
"A pediatrician," another girl added.
"A cartoonist," a boy said shyly.
"Those are all great," Greene told them. "You have to study something you're passionate about. Study your passion."
This was the second year that Edison eighth-graders visited the Notre Dame campus. Last year it was just 30 students. This year it was all of them, split between two days.
But this was more than a sightseeing trip. It was more than a "you-can-be-anything" pep talk. It was a three-hour immersion into the life of a college student, what equates to a myth for so many. John Reese, the director of student management at Edison, helped organize the visit.
"So many of our kids don't really see themselves as college-bound," Reese said. "They simply have not had the exposure to college that others have. We're trying to change that."
After meeting with Greene, the students were sent to faculty member Philip Sakimoto in Jordan Hall's Digital Visualization Theater.
"I hope that what you see might inspire you today," said Sakimoto, who spent 14 years working for NASA. "I'm going to use this theater to take you places that before you could only visit in your imaginations."
All Sakimoto did was take them on a 360-degree tour of the universe as they leaned back in the theater-style seats.
"This is so cool," one student said barely above a whisper to a friend as Sakimoto took the class from the Earth to the moon in a matter of seconds.
"Yeah," the friend answered. "This is tight."
Before they were done, the students had gone on a more than 100,000-light-year journey across the Milky Way. "You've just been on a trip," Sakimoto said, "through our whole galaxy and beyond."
As students filed out of the DVT, there was a buzz about what they saw. There was energy in their eyes.
It's that expression and reaction that Notre Dame Director of Community Relations Jacquelyn Rucker says makes such a visit worth the time and effort.
Those Notre Dame students and faculty members who participated did so during their fall break.
"One of the biggest assets that Notre Dame has is intellectual capital," Rucker said. "If we can share that with this community, it's for the good of everybody."
After extensive space travel, the students were split into four groups. Group 1 went to the chemistry lab. Group 2 went to the biology lab. Group 3 went to the physics lab. Group 4 went to the math lab.
Professor Karen Morris took her group to the third floor, where an experiment awaited.
In goggle-wearing groups of two, the students mixed baking soda, calcium chloride and phenol red together, creating a bubbling, breathing, hot, yellow mixture.
"It's so warm," 13-year-old Kennedy McGill said, her mouth agape as she continuously squeezed the mixture inside a bag. "I can't believe how warm it is." The groups compared their observations in the discussion room before returning to the lab for follow-up experiments. "This is what scientists do," Morris told the group. "Scientists love to talk about what they did. All of you just did what scientists do every day. You just acted like scientists."
A glaze of satisfaction settled on the faces of the group as they put their goggles away.
Before going back to their own school, students returned to the lecture hall where Notre Dame students talked to them about college, trying hard, and believing in themselves.
Lou Nanni, vice president of university relations for Notre Dame, had the last word.
"This is the time for you to start," he said confidently. "Work hard now so you leave choices for yourself down the line.
"I hope," he continued, "that your visit here today opens up what some of those possibilities can be."
On the ride back to Edison, Reese could tell the experience left an impression. It was the reaction he was after.
"They would say, 'I just took a physics course at Notre Dame and did fine,' " Reese said. "I think they understand now what we're trying to do.

Wind speed measurements are needed to understand ocean–atmosphere coupling processes and their effects on climate. Satellite observations provide sufficient spatial and temporal coverage but are lacking adequate calibration, while ship- and mooring-based observations are spatially limited and have technical shortcomings. However, wind-generated underwater noise can be used to measure wind speed, a method known as Weather Observations Through Ambient Noise (WOTAN). Here, we adapt the WOTAN technique for application to ocean gliders, enabling calibrated wind speed measurements to be combined with contemporaneous oceanographic profiles over extended spatial and temporal scales. We demonstrate the methodology in three glider surveys in the Mediterranean Sea during winter 2012/13. Wind speeds ranged from 2 to 21.5 m s−1, and the relationship to underwater ambient noise measured from the glider was quantified. A two-regime linear model is proposed, which validates a previous linear model for light winds (below 12 m s−1) and identifies a regime change in the noise generation mechanism at higher wind speeds. This proposed model improves on previous work by extending the validated model range to strong winds of up to 21.5 m s−1. The acquisition, data processing, and calibration steps are described. Future applications for glider-based wind speed observations and the development of a global wind speed estimation model are discussed.

Cuvier (1769-1832) was a French comparative anatomist, zoologist, geologist and paleontologist at the College de France and later at the Jardin des Plantes. His studies covered a wide range of paleontology, paleogeography and stratigraphy and he is noted for pioneering the theory of catastrophism or "revolutions of the globe" in which most of the existing life was destroyed. In 1812 Cuvier published his massive work on vertebrate fossils "Recherches sur les ossemens fossiles". In an introductory discourse, he discussed the implications of fossils for the history of the earth. That portion was his work was quickly translated into English as Cuvier's "Theory of the Earth" in 1813. That portion included a section on the Paris Basin which was adapted from another of Cuvier's works. The noted mineralogist Robert Jameson published a 2nd edition in 1815 to which he added a discourse on mineralogy. Cuvier's "Discourse was published in French as a stand alone work in 1825. Within the work Cuvier argues that the abrupt transition between formations found in the Paris Basin proved that the earth had undergone several catastrophic revolutions. He further pointed to the abrupt change in fossil populations as proof. Cuvier was one of the first to offer fossil evidence in support of the theory of catastrophism.

A lot of gamers have been peeved this generation about this whole DLC thing. Essentially, it's about the same as content expansion packs for free-to-play games or premium items from a cash shop, the only thing is a lot of the DLC that gamers have become disgruntled with is attached to premium-priced retail games. Well, the rabbit hole goes deeper.
After sniffing through files on the disc, a pesky hacker found out that the day-one DLC for Mass Effect 3 was already stored on the disc and that the "From Ashes" squad mate was completed along with the other characters already in the game before the game went gold.
Escapist Magazine came across the news thanks to Crystal Prison Zone who had a file-investigator peek into the disc to scrounge, sift and pry away at the contents. On the base of it all, the file sizes, sound files and voice files are already stored on the disc and are complete, however due to their encryption it's difficult to tell how complete or incomplete they are. One thing is for sure, BioWare's Casey Hudson lied about the content not being ready to ship with the gold version of the disc, since it did.
In this case it's looking like the Mass Effect 3 situation is quite similar to the Capcom situation with Street Fighter X Tekken. However, we won't know for sure until the rest of the encrypted files are further pried open to see just how complete they are, but for the most part it's looking like the file structure of the "From Ashes" DLC was as complete as the rest of the files on the game's disc, which you can view over at the Crystal Zone (Warning: spoilers are given away on the website due to the files being exposed).
"Building good DLC is really hard, and developers are constantly trying to find a way to develop that DLC better, get it out to players, and to reach players" .... "There's no point in releasing DLC a year after your game comes out when most people have already sold it back to Gamestop three times. So, that means getting it out early. That means day one DLC."
Well, Rockstar actually did release DLC well after the release of Grand Theft Auto IV, a year after the game was already on store shelves. A better argument would be, if you make the game complete enough you won't have to worry about gamers trading it in at GameStop three or more times within a six month period. That tells you a lot about the quality of the game, no?
Added to this, Bethesda usually waits three to six months before any DLC appears for their games and it's usually greeted with a well-welcomed response from a community of gamers who haven't traded in their copy. Again, it's telling if gamers still own a title six months to a year after its release and still support it by purchasing extra DLC. It's not the consumer's fault that a $60 purchase has a week long shelf-life before being traded in or dumped.
"Game developers are not evil... we just want to release awesome stuff. So players, please give us a chance, judge our games based on what they are, judge the DLC based on what it is, and stop thinking you're a producer and telling us when and where we should be building our content."
Well Tim Schafer doesn't mind you telling him where or how content should be, but then again gamers don't care about giving Double Fine Productions input after giving them $2 million up front for their next project. They simply trust that Double Fine will deliver.
In the end, though, it's looking like consumers will have less and less of a say so on the ownership of content they purchase within the game industry. The trends many people feared would expand into a monopoly of microtransaction content contained within premium retail goods has actually become a reality. It won't be long before you're paying $60 for a four-hour game, and $10 for every extra hour of gameplay.
Be sure to check out the entire blog and the findings of the Mass Effect 3 on-disc DLC find over at Crystal Zone or learn about whether or not the DLC is worth the purchase.

I manage a few Mac OSX XServes for production websites and have recently run into an issue dealing with the server resolving the DNS of some of the sites. Further investigation revealed that httpd.conf was configured to listen on all IPs (port 80), but the virtual host configurations only applied to the actual IP for the domain (not localhost).
I don't really have a need to access the domains from localhost, so my question is: What's the best way to disable apache from trying to access the configuration using 127.0.0.1?
1) Comment out the '127.0.0.1 domainA.com' entry in /etc/hosts (this is what I did to fix it temporarily, but is this really a good solution)?
2) Update the httpd.conf file to listen only to the appropriate 1.2.3.4 IP address (Listen 1.2.3.4:80) ?
Your option 2 is the correct way to go. You'll probably find a Listen 80 statement in your httpd.conf which is saying listen on port 80 on all available interfaces. Changing it to Listen 1.2.3.4:80 will restrict it to that address.
If you are using name-based virtual hosts, this shouldn't be a problem. In this case, Apache matches virtual hosts to request based on the hostname of the request; the ip address doesn't matter. This only becomes a problem if you are using SSL (which in most cases requires address- or port-based virtual hosts).
Is there any particular reason you're listing these domains in the local hosts file? If other people are able to access your servers it suggests that you have the appropriate DNS in place. If you really want them in the local hosts file, you could put them there with their actual IP address rather than making the names aliases for localhost.

Who doesn't like getting compliments?
Rachel Sussman is a psychotherapist and relationship expert who counsels individuals and couples.
She says compliments are important for people's sense of self worth.
The same part of your brain lights up when you receive a compliment as when you receive cash.
A sincere, thoughtful compliment can leave an impact even years later. What is it about compliments that makes them so powerful?
Rachel Sussman, a psychotherapist and relationship expert in New York City, told INSIDER that compliments help people feel seen and acknowledged — a universal human need.
"People just want to be recognized and appreciated for the good that they do," she said. "It makes them feel really good about that person who complimented and about themselves."
A good compliment doesn't have to be related to one's appearance, Sussman says. Commending someone for a character trait, an achievement, or the effort that they put into doing something such as preparing a meal can go a long way. The most important thing is for it to be sincere.
There's also scientific proof that praise is an effective motivator. Compliments activate the reward centers in the brain, called the ventral striatum and the ventral medial prefrontal cortex. One study even found that receiving a compliment is just as thrilling to the brain as receiving cash— both are perceived by the striatum as "social rewards."
"If you're one of those people that can't take compliments or say 'I don't need compliments,' you should really take a look inward and try to figure out why that is," she said. It could indicate deeper issues related to low confidence or self esteem.

Gabriel Hoosain Khan was once kicked out of home.
The reason? His family found out he was gay.
But instead of wallowing in self-pity, Khan, who grew up in Actonville on Johannesburg’s East Rand, became a human rights and social justice activist. And, despite his rocky start, Khan has now built good relationships with his family and community.
He is passionate about using creativity and art to empower marginalised youth. The 28-year-old recently co-authored a guide book called Creative Resistance, which assists community organisations working with youth in Southern Africa by sharing art, drama and writing exercises aimed at giving young people skills and knowledge they can use to actively advocate for their rights.
Khan previously worked as the coordinator of the Youth and Education Project at Gay and Lesbian Memory in Action, a human rights organisation, and he currently works as the Sexual Diversity and Rights Programme officer at Hivos, South Africa. As part of his job he works closely with marginalised rural communities across South Africa.

Google-owned Waymo has operated its public pilot in Phoenix, Arizona, dubbed the Early Rider Program, for just over a year. In that time, the service has picked up about 400 regular riders in the area, and it's brought the total real-world miles driven by Waymo's entire fleet to about 24,000 per day. Most of these riders are very young, very elderly, disabled, or otherwise unable to drive on their own. In order to get a better understanding of what people think of self-driving cars and how the technology could fit into everyday life once it goes mainstream, Waymo gathered data from its Early Rider Program participants and put out the graph seen below and an accompanying report that breaks down the data.
According to Waymo's data, there have been over 20,000 applicants for a ride in the program in total, up from about 6,000 on the first day. Most of the Early Rider Program's accepted riders used the service as transportation to work. Restaurants were the next most popular destination, followed by schools. Bars and spas were also common, and many used the service to get to the shop where their disabled car was waiting for them, which often meant exiting the program after the car was fixed up. Using the service to get to the supermarket and do your shopping was surprisingly low on the list of most popular destinations, with only electronics stores and gyms falling behind it within the confines of the top ten destinations. Waymo's data indicates that applicants cited two main reasons, on the whole, for applying; they wanted to see the new technology firsthand, and they wanted to help foster a safer future on the roads.
The Early Rider Program has made it quite clear that people have a diverse range of reasons for trusting and desiring the advancement of self-driving car technology. One rider witnessed a fatal car accident and didn't want to drive anymore, while another rider wants to take in her local neighborhood without focusing on driving, to name just a couple of cases that Waymo outed. Thanks to the data found in the program thus far, Waymo is working on a few key goals to make the service easier to use, including making it easier for riders to contact Waymo, and getting cars as close as possible to the places where riders want to be picked up, helping them avoid a long walk to a pickup spot.

ANNVILLE - The players and coaches of the Annville-Cleona football team wanted to honor the greatest man many of them will ever know on Friday night, when they paid a surprise tribute to the 50-year coaching career of beloved assistant coach Frank Hetrick in a brief but moving pregame ceremony.
They succeeded beyond their wildest dreams and then some. So much so that they managed to upstage the great man on his big night.
Annville-Cleona assistant coach Frank Hetrick greets former players and fellow coaches prior to a ceremony honoring his 50 years in coaching on Friday night.
He wasn't complaining, and they weren't sorry.
The Dutchmen gave themselves a night they'll remember for eternity while helping Hetrick add another shining moment to his legendary career, upending a wildly improved Ephrata team 41-35 on Junior Bours' semi-desperation 38-yard TD pass to Jalen Price as time expired.
For most of the night the Hetrick tribute, which included a plethora of hugs from former players in attendance, an acknowledgement of his late close friend and longtime coaching comrade Dale Umberger, and the presence of his wife Donna, to whom he has been married to for the entire 50 years he's been coaching, looked like it would be the highlight for the A-C team and its faithful.
Ephrata, which ended a 52-game losing streak with last week's win over Northern Lebanon, played A-C off its feet most of the night and appeared poised to steal away with a second straight win after the normally reliable Tyler Long coughed up a punt deep in Dutchmen territory late in the fourth quarter and the score knotted at 35.
But fate intervened with Ephrata knocking on the door at the A-C 6. A shotgun snap went over the head of QB Caden Keefer and Connor Williams pounced on it at the Dutchmen 17 with just 34 seconds left.
Nope, A-C fairly quickly moved to the Ephrata 38 and had time for one last play before an extra session would beckon.
A-C QB Jeremy Bours Jr.(16) hands the ball to RB Caleb Turner(24) during first quarter action on Friday night. Bours' 38-yard TD pass to Jalen Price as time expired gave A-C a 41-35 win.
It never came. Price got behind the Ephrata secondary down the left sideline and Bours lofted a perfect toss that Price cradled as he fell to the ground.
Game over. But never to be forgotten in Annville-Cleona football history. Certainly not by the man the night was about in the first place.
"Oh my God almighty. It really wouldn't have been neat if we wouldn't have won," Hetrick quipped, about the dramatic ending. "It's awesome just to be a part of Annville and a small school."
Hetrick spent the first 35 years of his coaching career at Cedar Crest, before joining A-C along with Umberger in 2004, where he's served head coaches Terry Lehman and Matt Gingrich with great loyalty and distinction.
"It's tough for me not to cry," said Gingrich, who broke into the coaching business at Cedar Crest in the early 2000s when Hetrick and Umberger were winding down their teaching and coaching careers there. "And it's not because it's just Frank, it's because a man served his community for 50 years and a man was a faithful husband for 50 years. To get him a win - it did not look good the whole game - is unbelievable."
But A-C, now 2-1, got itself a win as well, and by showing great composure in the face of adversity inflicted by both Ephrata and itself.
It led 14-7 after the first quarter courtesy of a 31-yard TD run by Caleb Turner and a 30-yard scoring dash by Trevor Porche, and 21-14 with 2:20 left in the half after Bours broke loose for a 57-yard score.
Annville-Cleona's Trevor Porche (43) gets a hug from his teammate Evan Heilman (23) after he scored A-C's second TD of the game in a Week 3 win over Ephrata. Annville-Cleona hosts Lancaster Catholic in a Section 3 first place showdown on Friday night.
But the Mounts tied it 21-21 on a Colton Goodman 4-yard TD run with 33 ticks left in the half, then grabbed its first lead at 28-21 after Brock Boyer scooped up a fumble and rumbled 50 yards to pay dirt two minutes into the second half.
"Everybody stuck together," Bours said. "People made mistakes, but everybody on the sideline was like, 'Hey, we got you. We'll get the next one.' We had the missed punt and I told Tyler Long, 'Look, you've been one of our best players all year. It's just bad timing. We're gonna make it up for it.'"
And so they did. But it took some doing. Ephrata was up 35-28 on Tucker Parmer's 36-yard TD catch with 8:49 left. And even after Josh Speraw plowed in on a QB keeper from 3 yards out with 4:54 left, there was a lingering feeling that it just wasn't A-C's night, even though it would be forever Hetrick's, win or lose.
Soon enough, though, it was all of theirs, thanks to Bours and Price, who both took hits on the play. Bours from a pass rusher and Price from the jubilant teammates who attacked him in the end zone afterwards.
"Man, it was surreal," Price said, smiling. "I said, 'Coach I can burn him. I got him. I can beat him.' And he's like, 'OK, we'll run this play.' I wanted it so I went and got it. It was crazy. I knew I had to buckle my chin strap because I was about to get plowed by the whole team."
"I threw it farther than I've probably thrown a ball all year, in practice or anything," Bours said. "I got hit as I threw it and I watched him catch it from the ground. I didn't know if he caught it because of the way he fell. I didn't say anything, then I just saw Coach G running down the sideline."
It's not fair to Ephrata to say it was just meant to be that way. The Mounts played brilliantly and valiantly, no small feat after what they've been through in recent years. They deserved to win, too.
But sometimes, goodness gets rewarded in the end. A-C did a nice thing for a great man Friday night, a man who's done so much for so many, and it came back to them in abundance.
""He is probably the most humble person I know," Assistant coach Joe Heckard, a 2000 Cedar Crest grad who's known Hetrick as a former player and fellow coach, said on Thursday, prior to the ceremony. "I've never once had an encounter with him that's been a negative. I could be having the worst day, and I see Coach Het and there's some positives. He's always been just a positive influence.
"Everyone that's ever played for him says the same thing. I've never once heard anyone say a bad thing about him. You say, 'Coach Het', and they say, 'Oh, I've got a thousand stories about how awesome he is.' Never a bad word."
Frank Hetrick, with his wife of 50 years, Donna Hetrick, during Friday night's ceremony at Annville-Cleona honoring his 50 years in coaching.
"Knowledge-wise he understands technical football as much as anyone," Gingrich said. "But if you just worry about his knowledge and what he brings football-wise, then you don't know Het. He affects me every single day when I wake up and how I treat my kids. If you tried to put a value on it, there's not a number that describes what he's worth. There is no person in this world that believes in you more than Frank does."
That's why Hetrick was probably the happiest of all the happy A-C guys on the field Friday night. Not just because of the win, but because it was another night of doing what he loves - coaching and being around kids.
"This was overwhelming. It was just so neat," Hetrick said of being honored. "Seeing the old players from Cedar Crest, my family, the Annville people. It was breathtaking for me and my wife.
"It was neat that they mentioned Dale and what we went through at Cedar Crest and Annville. It's just been a great journey. You find out wherever you go, kids are kids. And they're wonderful."

Massif Press is proud to announce Lancer, a tabletop roleplaying game set in the far future, centered on mechs and the pilots who crew them. A new setting developed by Tom Parkinson Morgan and Miguel Lopez, Lancer imagines a future where a survivor humanity has spread to the stars after weathering terrible ecological collapse on Earth -- the end of the Anthropocene as a consequence of unrestrained consumption and poor stewardship.
Lancer features a mix of gritty, mud-and-lasers military science fiction and mythic science fantasy. In the setting, conscript pilots mix ranks with flying aces, mercenary guns-for-hire brawl with secretive corpostate agents, and relativistic paladins cross thermal lances with causality-breaking, unknowable beings.
Players of Lancer adopt the roles of mechanized chassis pilots -- mech pilots -- comrades together in a galaxy of danger and hope. Some groups will fight for Union, working to rectify the crimes of previous administrations. Others, for a corpro-state, working to advance private interests while lining their pockets. Others still will fight for groups acting in opposition to those in power, or for themselves.
Lancer is the second TTRPG from Tom Parkinson Morgan, creator of Kill Six Billion Demons and Broken Worlds, and Miguel Lopez, a fiction writer based out of Portland, Oregon. Massif Press is a new publisher of games and zines; Lancer will be its first offering.
We’ll be launching a Kickstarter campaign on April 8th, 2019, to cover the cost of editing, layout, art, and — potentially — an initial print run. We plan to always keep a version of Lancer free and available online via multiple outlets: Drive Thru RPG, Itch.io, and Massif Press’s public-facing Dropbox. Our text (estimate, prior to final layout and edit) is 560 pages long. We expect to retail our PDF for $30.00 USD, and our hardback (A4, a copy of the PDF included) for $60.00 USD.

Herbert Davis and MRA are looking to get back to the title game after failing to do so for the first time since he took over as the Patriots' coach.
For the first time since Herbert Davis took over as head coach at Madison-Ridgeland Academy, the Patriots did not make an appearance in the AAAA-Division I championship game.
MRA was ousted by eventual state champion Jackson Prep 42-7 in the second round and finished the year with an 8-5 record. Heading into his fourth year at the helm, Davis' mentality remains the same.
"The expectation is to win a state championship as it always is," he said. "We were young in some places but we are a lot better in some places [this year], especially on the defensive front."
Here are three things to know about the Patriots ahead of Friday's season opener against Magnolia Heights.
Davis said he liked what he saw from the defense in preseason play. Through two scrimmages, the unit has shown a propensity for turning turnovers into points while keeping opponents out of the endzone.
"We've had two scrimmages and scored three times on defense and only given up one touchdown. They've shown they'll execute," Davis said.
The Pats head coach said the strength of the unit lies up front in a defensive line led by All-MAIS selection John Cartwright and All-District linemen Jake Flynt and Samuel Shufelt. He praised the linebackers, a unit headlined by freshman Stone Blanton and senior Ridge Futral.
With some time and maturity that's sure to come through the grind of a season, Davis said the Pats can be really good offensively.
MRA landed a new quarterback when junior Philip Short transferred in from Northwest Rankin. In limited time for the Cougars in 2017, Short completed 50 passes for 590 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.
"I like his presence, arm strength and his decision making," Davis said. "He still has to fully learn the system but when he does I think he'll be able to make some plays."
Short should have plenty of options to throw to since MRA will implement a six-man rotation at wide receiver that features several players with the ability to make plays. Senior running back William Milam is returning from injury, and Davis expects him to be a threat to break off big plays as well.
Preseason All-MAIS center Nicolas Rowan leads an offensive line that is breaking in three starters.
MRA's schedule doesn't look too challenging based on the first four games. In that span, they'll face just one opponent, Briarcrest Christian, that won more than six games last season.
But that trend ends the second Friday of September when they square off against Copiah Academy, a team that won six games last season. From there, every team MRA faces the rest of the season won six or more games last year.
The true test of just how good this Patriots team can be will begin Sept. 28 against a Parklane Academy team that won 10 games in 2017. It doesn't get easier from there with games against Jackson Academy, Jackson Prep, Oak Forest Academy and Presbyterian Christian to round out the season.
"The thing for us is we have to do a better job being disciplined and playing at a level where nobody plays harder or more physical than us," Davis said. "You can't make mistakes."

The global cloud market is expanding at a staggering rate. Companies that have not yet invested on cloud are keen to do so; or might be planning for their doomsday. Companies that have already spent on various cloud computing infrastructure and platforms plan to increase their spending substantially. Driven by significant benefits of business agility, enhanced staff productivity, universal accessibility of applications, high security of critical business data, enterprises are fast adopting cloud-based technologies.
With the proliferation of mobile devices across organizations of all sizes and the increasing prominence of business analytics in decision making, cloud market is expected to grow at a fascinating pace through 2018. The myriad benefits of putting enterprise data to cloud has led to the rapid adoption by public sector in various countries. Cloud computing technologies have largely transformed legacy IT infrastructure and garnered widespread adoption by enterprises. As per Goldman Sachs study published in 2015, spending on cloud computing infrastructure and platforms is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 30% from 2013 through 2018; this is significantly higher than the growth rate compared with 5% for the overall enterprise IT market.
Cloud computing is one of the largest technological disruptions to how businesses are run in the next three years. As cloud market is projected for high growth trajectory, the market for different cloud hosting models— Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)–is also slated to grow rapidly.
SaaS model has already become a cloud conversation-starter and, undoubtedly, it has stood the test of time. According to prominent industry trends, SaaS is expected to dominate the public cloud landscape through 2018. As per the Cisco Global Cloud Index (GCI), by 2018, 59% of the total cloud workloads will be from Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) hosting model, an increase of 41% from 2013.
Another report by IDC estimates SaaS delivery is expected to significantly outpace traditional software product delivery, growing about five times faster than the traditional software market. Equipped by a host of competitive benefits such as automatic updates, patch management, universal accessibility, SaaS applications have become popular among organizations.
Another hosting model that is fast gaining prominence in public cloud market is IaaS. Driven by significant flexibility and unmatched scalability to address enterprise needs, IaaS platform is gaining tractions across businesses with flexible needs. Considered as a viable alternative to on-premises hardware for IT infrastructure, their adoption has largely transformed the complete IT value chain for enterprises. IaaS enables organizations to build virtual infrastructure which can be created, reconfigured, and even removed quickly, as and when required. The virtual infrastructure typically houses resources such as servers, storage arrays, operating systems and networks. The highly scalable resources can then be easily adjusted on-demand.
As per estimate by Cisco, by 2018, 28% of the total cloud workloads will be Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) workloads down from 44% in 2013. Some of the leading IaaS offerings are from technology giants Amazon, Microsoft and Google; currently, Amazon Web Services (AWS) by Amazon dominates the cloud infrastructure platform and expected to remain so through 2018.
Over the past couple of years, an emerging trend is towards hybrid cloud model—a combination of public and private cloud. Companies who are in favor of this model wants to play safe as they believe in the strategy ‘One foot in the cloud and one foot on the ground’. Most companies are reluctant to move all their IT needs to public cloud or can afford to take their operations to private cloud; additionally, they want the best of both the clouds and knit altogether a new IT infrastructure. CIOs confer that several comprises are looking towards hybrid cloud model with the best of their own private data centers and partially shared technology resources. The adoption of the hybrid infrastructure is largely driven enhances collaboration, greater flexibility and increased cost-efficiency. According to research firm, MarketsandMarkets, the hybrid cloud market is expected to reach $85 billion in 2019, up from $25 billion in 2014, growing at a significant CAGR of about 27%.
The cloud market in 2018 is really headed for significant transformation in adoption of modern IT infrastructure. The market is dotted by leading vendors and new entrants alike who want to capitalize on the growth opportunities brought about by the spiraling cloud market across the globe. With this, security and viability of different hosting models have also become prominent factors to guide CIOs to decide on the most suitable cloud technology for their organizations. Coupled with this, the sheer increase for various cloud computing tools have opened up a plethora of options for businesses keen to move their operations to cloud. It remains to be seen how the companies will reinvent themselves with the growth of the cloud market.

If you don’t have anything bad to say about a person, then you don’t have anything to say about him at all. To know a person is to know him in his worst.
More importantly, you cannot say you love a person until you have seen what is most wretched and ugly in him.
Therefore, to those who love, do not be blind to what is repulsive and despicable in the one you love. They say love is blind; I say love sees everything. And love wants to see everything because to love a person is to love totally. There is no other kind of love.
And to those who wish to be loved, do not hide from your potential lover what is most repugnant in you. A person cannot love you until you have shown him all the skeletons in your closet. If someone shuns you because of what is worst in you, then that person does not deserve what is best in you.
But then they also say love is accepting a person for who she is. Again, this is not true. What is love for if it does not make you a better person? It is a worthless love that does not turn your worst weakness into your greatest strength.
So the next time the candle-bearer that is Love knocks at the door of your skeleton-filled closet, do not bother tidying it up and welcome Love at once! It is, after all, Love’s sacred duty to go to the darkest recess of a one’s heart and flood it with some light.
Love, like Friendship, can strengthen and empower you in ways you can seldom fathom.

When preschoolers are sitting on the floor building castles and towers, it’s clear that they’re honing their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. However, their brains are just as busy as their hands; through freewheeling and imaginative play, kids enter a very active learning zone that encourages their curiosity and builds their independence. Here are some amazing learnings that children may gain from LEGO® DUPLO® play – and how to help them get the most out of this precious and fun time.
Cause and effect. Even when they’re building towers and immediately knocking them down with squeals of delight, children are learning about cause and effect. Through trial and error, kids begin to understand how much pressure is required to snap bricks together or pull them apart, and how high they can build before gravity takes over. Posing questions such as “Do you think this stack will stay balanced?” or “What will happen if you put the house on the bumpy spot in the carpet?” can get your little scientist experimenting.
How to be a buddy. What’s more fun than building with DUPLO bricks? Building with friends, of course. And even though preschoolers’ play is more side-by-side than cooperative, such get-togethers can be a steppingstone toward true friendship. To help, spread out enough bricks for everyone (making sure each child gets a more or less equal amount of various shapes and colors). Encourage them to take turns and build with a common goal: “You add a blue brick and then Nathan can add his green brick!” Even if big concepts such as sharing and cooperation don’t happen overnight, this kind of group play lays the groundwork for the give and take of friendship.
How to handle challenges. It happens during most playtimes: Something doesn’t work out the way your child planned. What happens when you don’t have enough yellow bricks to build the giraffe? Or the bridge you just finished cracks in half? Well you may have to start all over again – and that’s okay! Because LEGO DUPLO bricks are so easy to take apart and put back together, they’re ideally suited for encouraging children to challenge themselves and indulge their natural curiosity. Preschoolers learn that perseverance pays off, and you can learn from every outcome, whether you expected it or not. That’s a lesson that will serve them well in school and beyond.
The joy of creativity. During play, children naturally turn to their fertile imaginations. They love to act out stories with toys – whether that’s mimicking grown-up behavior (think playing house or school) or moving into fantastical worlds of fairies and pirates. Because there’s no ‘right’ way to play with DUPLO, preschoolers are free to use their wild and wacky imaginations. They can conjure up the wildest, scariest adventures and still feel safe.
There are dozens of other incredible ways kids learn while playing, so keep your eyes and ears open when there’s a building project going on in your living room. Your child might even teach you something.

Rebecca Fitzwater is a pleasure to work with. She was flexible and very helpful throughout the process.
Rebecca Fitzwater was wonderful to work with. She was there to help guide me through a difficult issue. I would recommend her anytime.
My career in the financial industry started 25 years ago when I was a college student working part-time for a local mortgage broker. Since that time, I have been fortunate enough to gain experience in all facets of mortgage lending. Whether you are buying your first home or building your ultimate dream home, you can be assured that I have the experience and knowledge to find the best program tailored to your specific needs.
My husband Scott and I have three children. They keep me busy, but I still find time to enjoy reading, spending time with family and friends, exercising and volunteering. I am a member of the Greater Indianapolis Mortgage Banker's Association, Builder's Association of Greater Indianapolis, the National Association of Female Executives and Women in Networking.
In order to find the best loan program for my client, I have a tendency to ask a lot of questions, listen intently to the needs of my clients and then find the most appropriate solutions to fit their needs. I usually give my clients a couple of options that they can then narrow down what would be best for them.
My first recommendation for a borrower would be to meet with me. I am a great resource for my clients and can direct them to additional resources if needed. Just sitting down and reviewing credit, mortgage options and payments can ease concerns when starting the home buying process.
My customers are the best part of my job, and I truly enjoy forming personal and professional relationships. It is my pleasure to provide the premium level of customer service and one-on-one attention that they deserve. The greatest compliment that I can receive is a friend, family or co-worker referral.

1 What is the NCLEX?
2 Why should you buy the NCLEX prep book?
3 How to find the best NCLEX prep book for yourself?
You’ve just graduated from nursing school, you have your new set of scrubs on, and your favorite stethoscope around your neck and you are ready to pursue your dream job and save lives.
However, there is another significant step you have to make before leaping into your career – the NCLEX exam.
Most nurses are terrified of this test, and they spend weeks if not months, preparing to face their fears.
Fortunately, we have the perfect weapon to help you get ready for this battle – the best NCLEX prep books.
Stay with us as we explain what the NCLEX is, why is it a good idea to purchase a prep book, how to find the right one for yourself and present you the top five prep books on the market.
If you’ve just finished the nursing school, or you moved to the US recently, and you want to become a registered nurse, you’ll need to take the NCLEX exam. It sounds serious and scary, but what is it exactly?
The NCLEX exam or the National Council Licensure Examination is administered by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN). The purpose of this notorious exam is to ensure that future nurses have adequate knowledge and skills, and that they are certified and licensed to practice nursing in various institutions across the US.
You don’t have to be afraid, you are not the only one who has to pass this test. More than 200,000 people take the NCLEX-RN, while additional 70,000 take the NCLEX-PN each year.
Once you decide to make this vital career step, you’ll have to pay typically around $200 (depending on your location), just to take the NCLEX test. This amount should be paid directly to Pearson VUE.
When you pass the NCLEX exam, you’ll need to pay (approximately) additional $300 for the nursing licensure.
Candidates are often worried about the details of the exam itself – how long does it take, how many questions there will be, is it going to be difficult and so on.
The NCLEX-RN exam usually takes about 6 hours to complete, while the NCLEX-PN takes 5 hours. This time is not reserved for the test exclusively. It includes optional breaks and any other breaks that you might need.
Why should you buy the NCLEX prep book?
If you had good grades in nursing school and you are confident in your knowledge, you might think that the NCLEX prep book is not necessary.
According to the NCSBN’s statistics, over 90% of US-educated nurses who are taking the NCLEX for the first time, succeed to pass the exam. The pass rate drops to 80% when we include the international test takers and people who are retaking the NCLEX.
When you take a look at the data, you can see that the chances are you will pass the exam after the first try. However, if you fail, there are some rather unfortunate consequences.
Most importantly, you’ll have to pay the monetary cost required for retaking the NCLEX exam. Also, there is an official limitation that says you can make only eight attempts per year, and you have to wait 45 days between two attempts. Don’t even let us started on the stress that repetitive test taking can cause.
So, investing less than fifty bucks in a good book that can help you overcome your fear and pass the NCLEX with flying colors doesn’t seem like a bad idea at all.
How to find the best NCLEX prep book for yourself?
You’ll have to decide which one suits your learning style the best.
The content review guides are ideal for nurses who had been out of school for several years, or they are not really confident in their knowledge. These books give you a chance to focus on re-learning all of the information that you’ve studied during your nursing program. You’ll review different nursing topics one by one, and then test your knowledge by answering practice test questions.
The strategy review books, on the other hand, are perfect for people who are confident they have all of the information they need, but they are not so sure how to handle the test situation. These guides focus more on test-taking strategies, tips, and tricks.
At last, the Q&A review books will suit nurses who love challenging themselves from the very beginning. These books focus primarily on answering different practice questions, and they aim to develop your critical reasoning.
Once you recognize which type of NCLEX prep books can benefit you the most, you will have no problem choosing the best book for yourself!
Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX definitively stands behind its name. It is comprehensive for sure. If you purchase their e-book, you will have a chance to highlight, take notes, and do quick searches. It will offer you a fantastic study guide, over 5,100 NCLEX examination-style questions, a detailed test-taking strategy and a rationale for each question.
This book will give you vast information from the nursing curriculum. It will be useful both during the nursing school and once you decide to take your NCLEX exam. Whether you are a PN or RN, Saunders Review has you covered. It is beautifully organized, and its chapter on test-taking strategies is terrific. It offers questions with multiple responses, fill-in-the-blank, prioritizing, chart/exhibit, figure/illustration, video, and audio problems. At last, they prepared even the transitional issues for the foreign-educated nurses.
However, you won’t get many new questions in the online question bank in comparison to the ones you can find in the book. Also, the review might be too comprehensive which doesn’t suit every person’s learning style. In general, you might see that the book is a bit repetitive.
For the past few years, the NCLEX Examination has focused on prioritization, delegation, and patient assignment and this book does the same! It will provide you with exercises of increasing difficulty to help you gain necessary skills in this area. It is organized in three different chapters – guidelines for prioritization, delegation, and patient assignment, applying that knowledge in common health scenarios and finally, complex health scenarios.
If you want easy-to-read book that you can inspect cover-to-cover in two weeks, this one is highly recommended. It will give you a thorough explanation of why an answer to each question is correct. Also, you will enjoy the case studies that are quite realistic. Most importantly, the questions are challenging and require critical thinking.
However, you will notice that there are significantly more delegation questions than prioritization and assignment ones. This is an important flaw because many nurses feel like delegation is the easiest skill to adopt of all three. Also, some of the answers are a bit subjective, and if you consult your professors and instructors, they might have different opinions. At last, there are no tips and tricks to help you approach the NCLEX test.
If you don’t like carrying a bulky book around and you want simple, easy to understand information with no-nonsense structure, you will love The ReMar Review Quick Facts for NCLEX. The core content of the book is straight to the point, and it helps you quickly identify your strengths and weakness. The writers recommend you to study about an hour each day, covering 7-10 pages. This way, you will go over the whole book in approximately two weeks.
The ReMar review is ideal for nurses who have been out of school for some time, and they don’t have much time on their hands to go through tons and tons of information. It goes straight to the point, and you have to learn it cover-to-cover because everything in it is essential. Another benefit of this book is that you won’t spend a fortune on it.
On the other hand, due to its concise structure, you might have a feeling that some essential details on diagnosis are missing. Also, the review is organized in alphabetical order which might be a bit inconvenient. As you study, you will notice a lot of typos and tiny mistakes, so make sure to consult at least one more source.
Another great book for nurses who have very limited prep time is Kaplan’s Content Review Guide. It covers all the must-know information you need to pass. The content of the book is cleverly organized in outline format and offers easy-access tables that will boost your efficiency. Kaplan’s acclaimed Decision Tree and several expert strategies are here to help you master all necessary skills, such as critical reasoning.
If you need an affordable book that will provide you with the needed knowledge for taking NCLEX exam and at the same time help you organize your studying process, Kaplan Test Prep is a way to go. It offers a fantastic review of essential information, and it comes with a useful plan calendar. The book is set up according to NCLEX categories and features numerous charts and tables to help you memorize the material.
Unfortunately, the major flaw of this book is that there are no practice questions. Also, it won’t offer you a detailed, in-depth review, just the most crucial information. Kaplan’s online practice question bank is much more useful than the book itself.
Lippincott Q&A Review supports four crucial content areas – mental health, medical-surgical, obstetric and pediatric nursing. Separate chapters, within these four sections, are organized around common health problems. The textbook also includes more than 6,000 high-level questions that promote higher-order thinking and active learning. You will be glad to find out that Lippincott book has a “Content Mastery and Test-Taking Self Analysis” grid which will help you chart your own progress and modify study plans.
If you are looking for genuinely challenging questions and well-explained rationales, purchasing Lippincott Review might be a good idea. It will offer you different tips on how to deal with NCLEX style questions. Also, the content is separated by sections and color coded which makes your study process much more straightforward. This guide is as comprehensive as Saunder’s book.
A word of advice – if you already have the 11th edition of Lippincott Review, don’t purchase the 12th as well, they are pretty much the same. Also, you will notice that the book doesn’t explain why the wrong answers are wrong, it gives rationales only for the right ones. Be prepared for little to no space for side notes, so buy sticky notes ahead.
There is no way to tell which one among the top five books we’ve presented is the best one. As we said above, different types of prep books suit different people.
If you are looking for a comprehensive content review, you’ll go with Saunder’s book . If you want to learn different test strategies Kaplan’s test prep might be a better idea. At last, if you enjoy tackling down difficult questions and case studies Lippincott’s book should be your go-to option.
Whichever book you choose, make sure to read it cover-to-cover and stay calm. You have all of the needed information buried somewhere in your brain. You just have to get to it.

You know that ring that I lost? Yeah, the silver ring with the tiny green stone I found at a friend’s friend’s shop in San Miguel.
It’s not lost. It was. Until I found it in one of my bags. Apparently it slipped off my finger as I was rearranging stuff in my bags at the Geneva airport. Gotta be more careful with that damn thing.
So glad to learn that you found back your ring!
When Chabela told me you had probably lost it in Geneva, I felt really very sorry for you. I was almost sure that it happened during the control formalities at the airport, as Isabelle and me were “spying you”, taking out your things from the hand luggage and putting them back.
But today we were in Neyruz, with dear Dad and my nephews, for the Mothers Day and she told me you got it back. We, as usual, had a fantastic day and very good Menu, with Isabelle’s special touch and spices.
It was really so nice to finally meet you “en chair et en os”, as we use to say in French !
And to share those moments together, before you flew to/for London to discover Brenda’s special and fabulous “Mango-Grape Lassi” !
