Jo Jackson and Lizzie Simmonds sealed their places in Great Britain's World Championships squad with wins at the National Championships in Sheffield.
Both swimmers failed to qualify at the first trials in Manchester in March but qualified second time round.
Jackson produced her fastest time for two years to win the 200m freestyle in one minute 58.32 seconds.
Simmonds won the 100m backstroke in a time of 59.86 seconds to take the last squad place left for the event.
The return to form of Olympic bronze medallist Jackson was particularly heartening after 18 months of ill-health and severe asthma problems.
"I wanted to go quicker, but to get the qualifying time and book my spot for the worlds, I can't explain how happy I am," she said.
"This time last year I didn't think it would happen so I am so relieved and that is what the smile is for."
Simmonds said the difference between her performance in Manchester and the one in Sheffield was all down to a more positive mental attitude.
"I've just been enjoying it," she said. "I had a dip there and found it quite hard to pull myself out of that.
"With not qualifying in the 100 I got a bit more down and when I didn't qualify in the 200 it was the be all and end all.
"I then reassessed it and looked at my swimming and thought 'this is something I should love doing' and 'I do love doing it?'"
A storming swim by Jemma Lowe in the 100m butterfly saw her pip Fran Halsall by 0.01 seconds to take the second spot alongside Melbourne-based Ellen Gandy, who qualified in March.
Halsall, who had ankle surgery in December, will now concentrate on the sprint freestyle events in China.
Others to make the qualifying time were the 15-year-old Siobhan-Marie O'Connor (200m individual medley), Robbie Renwick and David Carry (both 400m freestyle) and Kris Gilchrist (100m breaststroke).
On Wednesday, Halsall returns in the 100m freestyle, for which she has already qualified, and Renwick and Carry go for one spot in the 200m freestyle.
The World Championships take place in Shanghai from 16-31 July.

Funding from Hood College helped greatly.
It was in middle school when I first got into Korean Pop music (K-pop). I know what you’re thinking. It’s Korean, not Chinese. I know. It was the Chinese members in the pop groups that caught my eye. Many K-pop groups have idols of different nationalities so that they can be marketed in different parts of the world. They transformed me into a Chinese culture enthusiast. Although I don’t like history, I learned about different dynasties of China to understand the background between the different type of ethnic groups in China—Han, Zhuang, Hui, Manchu, and many more. I fell in love with the difficulty of the language and the similarities and differences between their culture and mine. By the way, if you like challenges, you should learn Chinese, or, honestly, any language. From then on I decided to learn about China and I knew that one day I would go.
Self-teaching app to learn Mandarin.
I love different cultures and languages. I love it so much that I want to travel to every country in the world. When I heard Jessica Nabongo’s story, I was even more inspired to travel the world. She’s going to be the first African-American woman to travel to every single country known. I started with Costa Rica because my school was offering a trip there at the time. I’m choosing China now because I’ve spent four years learning Mandarin, I have two pen pals from there, and lastly China is the most interesting country to me, as of right now. In its architecture, economy, history, politics, and people, China is very different yet similar to the culture in the United States.
This is me hugging a very old tree on a nature hike in Costa Rica.
In traditional Chinese architecture, I love the use of open yet enclosed spaces like courtyards and sky wells. I also think it’s interesting to see the hierarchy of China’s history within the traditional architecture. It makes me wonder why the position of the buildings depend on the status of the person living there. Anyway, I’m excited to learn Mandarin, and about Chinese civilization, issues in Chinese society, and Chinese urbanization. These topics are what my classes are based upon.
I'm flying all over the world.
To think that all of what I learned from teachers and my pen pals are finally going to good use. Do you know that feeling of realization that you’re in a completely different country? It might take a while, but suddenly it hits you. You’re immersed in a different culture and that new country is now your new school. I haven’t felt that feeling yet; but, I’ll let you know when it happens.
These are the gifts my friends and mentor got me that will hopefully help me through homesickness.

Adhesive’s mech combat game rolls out on Early Access.
Finally, the mech game of the year is available for all of us to play on PC! That’s right – we’re talking about Adhesive Games’ Hawken, which was previously available on Steam Early Access but has now gone free to play.
Interestingly, the game is still very much an Early Access game with the full release to happen later this year. The difference is that now that it’s become free to play, you’ll be paying full price for content bundles rather than getting them at a discount. The Nemesis bundle has also reportedly been discontinued.
Hawken started out as an open beta in December 2012 before transitioning over to Steam to become an Early Access title. The game will be published by Meteor Entertainment later this year and unlike certain other mech-based games, Hawken focuses purely on mech vs. mech combat. Interested? Check it out here and let us know what you think.

Wright, N. (2004) ‘In the Know: Lessons in Knowledge Management’, Training Technology & Human Resources, Institute of Training & Occupational Learning, March-April, pp14-15.
You could be forgiven for believing that knowledge management (KM) is an urban myth, an expression of contemporary folklore that exists as story but never quite earths itself in organisational reality. I once attended a CIPD seminar, for instance, during which all participants signalled enthusiastically their belief that KM is a critical component of organisational development. There were red faces all round, however, when asked what had been done to implement KM in their own organisations.
I have, nevertheless, worked with one organisation for five years that has doggedly persevered with its vision to convert KM rhetoric into vibrant organisational practice. Its name is Tearfund, a Christian international development and relief organisation involved in 80 countries around the world. My own reflections as Learning & Development (L&D) Manager on the principal lessons learned en route are reproduced below as a basis for shared learning – the foundational principle of KM philosophy itself.
Tearfund encountered an initial problem distinguishing between knowledge and information. Attempts to describe knowledge as ‘that which resides in your head’ vs information as ‘that which is recorded’ proved awkward. Further reflection has convinced me that ‘information as organised data’ and ‘knowledge as distilled wisdom’ (or, in other words, ‘interpreted information’) is preferable because it recognises social-constructive (e.g. cultural) aspects of knowledge and allows the incorporation of spiritual, psychological and emotional dimensions too.
This latter distinction is consistent with that described by Libby Ralph in Knowledge Management & Training, Training Journal, June 2003. Interestingly, some recent writers (e.g. Tom Lambert, Key Management Questions, 2003) suggest a wider, general drift from knowledge- to ‘wisdom management’, too, which may indicate an emerging trend in this direction. The important practice recommendation is to define terms clearly in order to avoid linguistic confusion.
KM is often publicised in technical terms and championed by IT enthusiasts, excited by the potential of new technologies (e.g. intranets, extranets, internet). This may, at times, convey the impression that KM is driven by technology rather than the learning needs of the organisation itself; a view that may be reinforced if KM is owned and managed corporately by the IT function rather than, say, HR or Corporate Directorate as part of a wider organisational development strategy.
If organisational culture is principally relationship-oriented, as in Tearfund, a KM approach perceived as primarily technology-oriented may be viewed with some degree of caution or even scepticism. An important recommendation is, therefore, to ensure that KM concept and communiqués reflect sensitively the organisation’s culture and, as a general rule of thumb, that technology is portrayed as supporting KM rather than vice versa.
Organisational culture has other implications, too. KM presupposes, for instance, that learners will be willing and committed to share learning with other parts of the organisation. In a charitable organisation like Tearfund, committed overtly to Christian values, the notion of shared learning fits easily with its cultural ethos. In other types of organisation, however, where internal competition is inherent or actively encouraged (e.g. with competitive, performance-related bonus schemes), shared learning can represent real loss of knowledge-as-power and corresponding erosion of advantage.
An important practice implication is, therefore, to ensure that KM strategy identifies and takes into account specific cultural practices that will encourage or inhibit shared learning. A way of managing the dilemma in internally-competitive environments is to specify in job descriptions which categories of learning should be shared and to reward performance accordingly.
The primary mechanism that Tearfund has used to develop its knowledge bank is the ‘learning review’ (LR), a retrospective process by which participants involved in an event or project meet afterwards to review the experience and record key learning outcomes (cf Jeff Brooks, Knowledge Management in TT&HR, May/June 2003). The results of such reviews (usually expressed as specific actionable recommendations) are stored on a central computer drive, accessible to all staff via the organisation’s intranet and used, in principle, to inform future planning and practice.
The degree to which staff retrieve and reapply learning from others’ experience is, however, an area for further development, except between teams involved in similar work where learning is already easily and directly transferable. The limiting factor is that results are sometimes recorded using jargon or too much context-specific information. The key practice implication is, therefore, to ensure that learning is recorded clearly, in generic terms and with other reader-audiences in mind.
Tearfund staff report that the review process itself, when well-facilitated, has resulted in (a) tacit knowledge surfacing to a conscious level and (b) reinforcement of important learning points. Participants involved in such human-interactive processes can act as valuable knowledge conduits by, for instance, advertising on the intranet who to talk to about specific types of projects rather than relying on written notes as sole means of dissemination.
Tearfund developed an internal LR register populated by ‘volunteers’ with some prior experience of facilitating groups. Participants on the register were provided with basic training but it became quickly apparent that only the most experienced facilitators were being called upon to conduct reviews, hence creating difficult time pressures for them. Tearfund may consider whether to extend its internal pool or contract dedicated specialists for this role.
The direct and indirect costs of KM (e.g. opportunity costs resulting from time spent in reviews) dictate that the process needs to be well-managed in order to add value. Tearfund has learned to resist the temptation to review absolutely everything and, instead, to consider prospectively what learning is likely to be most beneficial for the organisation and prioritise reviews accordingly. Serendipitous, innovative learning emerges by this means too but within the context of a focused learning framework.
Tearfund is also learning how to ‘double-loop’ knowledge derived from an event, experience or process to help inform corporate strategy and policy. It is tackling this issue by ensuring that every team’s annual plan includes a section on reflective learning, the results of which can be (a) reapplied to enhance its own practice and (b) collated by a KM Manager for subsequent planning by the corporate leadership team. The leadership team, too, produces an annual Impact Report which incorporates evidence of learning as a key indicator of corporate performance.
Finally, Tearfund is working to evaluate the impact and effectiveness of KM on the organisation’s strategic capabilities. An effective L&D and KM interface is critical, with integration helping to ensure a holistic and efficient approach to organisational development. Operational overlap can occur, for instance, in such areas as action learning and communities of practice and so clear role differentiation is needed.
Evaluation is concerned with overall benefit relative to cost. However, the positive results of investment in KM, like those of L&D, can prove difficult to substantiate in strictly cause-and-effect terms. Tearfund is experimenting with a new L&D/KM model with shared key performance indicators; mapping new learning, shared learning and applied learning on a grid against strategy, policy and practice on one axis and individual, team and organisation on the other. It’s too early to predict at this stage how well this model will work in practice but initial signs are positive.

"A Gift for Teaching doesn't just provide the materials for the classroom, they actually make the connection to the community and resources, because without that [A Gift for Teaching] pamphlet, I wouldn't have the opportunity to help raise another educator. To be honest with you, I learn every time I'm there."
Teachers, on average, spend $500 to $1,000 out of their own pockets every year to provide basic school supplies for their students. A Gift for Teaching is a wonderful nonprofit based in central Florida that works to meet this need. A Gift for Teaching is the primary provider of free school supplies in the region.
Students who cannot afford basic learning tools are at a significant disadvantage. By providing free supplies, this organization supports more equal education.
In addition to providing free school supplies, A Gift for Teaching runs educational programs that include A Gift for Music, Crafts with Conviction, and School SmARTS. Each of these programs integrates music and arts education that expands the scope of learning past the schools' core curriculum. Through these programs, low-income and urban youth have the chance to develop skills in the arts in an encouraging, positive learning environment.
A Gift for Teaching was one of 600 organizations that participated in the Storymakers 2016 campaign. Through its video, the organization shared its story, mission, and social impact on communities across central Florida.

So it’s official. The Apple tablet rumors have ended. At this morning’s Apple event in San Francisco, Steve Jobs unveiled what Silicon Valley has been whispering about for years. Dubbed the ‘iPad,’ Apple’s tablet could be just the thing to launch smartphone-notebook hybrids into the mainstream. "We want to kick off 2010 by introducing a truly magical and revolutionary new product," Jobs said at the event. The iPad is fundamentally a netbook-sized iPhone. Outside of the design, the most impressive thing about the iPad is its 10-hour battery life, which is pretty representative of what we should expect from the category. Also impressive is the weight – 1.5 pounds.
"It's so much more intimate than a laptop and so much more capable than a smartphone," Jobs said.
Jobs says that the iPad's advantages over netbooks will be its speed and the quality of its display, as well as size and weight.
The iPad has a 1GHz CPU and comes with 12, 32 or 64 GB of flash storage. It will run most existing iPhone apps. The iPad will be the first Apple device to use the 1GHz "A4" processor, which can decode HD video for up to 10 hours on one charge. Some iPads will be wifi-only while others will have 3G (AT&T data plans: $15/m for 250MB of data; $30 for unlimited -- prepaid).
As usual, the design is gorgeous, not straying at all from the iPhone cannon.
There will be similar devices hitting the market when the iPad does, and from what I’ve seen the actual specs of the Apple device are middling compared to others in the category. Of course the others don’t have the App Store or the marketing brilliance of Apple, and not all are tablets, so expect the iPad – despite its potentially higher price and average specs – to be the top selling smartphone-netbook hybrid.
The price range is between $499 for a 16GB wifi-only device and $829 for a 64GB wifi+3G iPad.

Despite major setbacks, the phenom pitcher found his way back to the Major Leagues.
The promising baseball career of a 1991 Fairfax graduate almost ended just as it started. Billy Pulsipher took the mound for the New York Mets in 1995, riding a wave of confidence, but injuries and depression would take a toll on his career soon after.
"Injuries can certainly alter your career," said Bill Pulsipher's father, William. "Some pitchers come back from them earlier than others."
In the spring of 1996 Pulsipher blew out his elbow. After the surgery, the Mets sent him back to the minor leagues for rehabilitation. It took Pulsipher a few years to get back in shape for the Major League. He was traded to Milwaukee, where he pitched for almost two years before being traded back to the Mets. A year later, in 2001, Pulsipher spent time playing in Boston and in Chicago with the White Socks, but setbacks caused by injuries and depression forced the left-handed pitcher to quit the game for some time. Instead of playing baseball, Pulsipher found himself mowing the fields in Florida. The love of the game saw him return to baseball, where he played in minor leagues for a few years.
After bouncing around the minor leagues, Pulsipher finally found his rhythm again. The long and winding road took him to St. Louis, where in 2005 he was the relief pitcher for the Cardinals.
"He was very excited last year after he made the Cardinals," said his father, William Pulsipher.
Pulsipher was drafted into the majors straight from high school. In 1991, the New York Mets drafted the pitcher in the second round of the amateur draft, 66th pick overall.
"He's the best pitcher we've had at Fairfax. He went pretty much where we expected [in the draft]," said Tom Verbanic, the Fairfax baseball coach at the time, after Pulsipher was picked in 1991.
The 17-year-old hurler was excited about the prospect of playing for the Mets organization. "Being picked by the Mets was just great. They have the best pitching staff in baseball and in the minor leagues they really develop you. They have a reputation of taking care of their players," said Pulsipher after the draft (Fairfax Connection, 1991).
HE GAVE UP a full scholarship to Old Dominion University in order to sign with the Mets. While in high school, the left hander was contacted by every one of the 26 Major League teams. His father said it was not difficult for Pulsipher to make the decision to go to the pros instead of college. He said teams made lucrative offers, and promised to secure Pulsipher's education as well.
The four-time All-Potomac District selectee led the Rebels to a 17-4 record his senior season. He recorded a 9-2 season on the mound, with a 1.36 earned run average and a school record 126 strikeouts. The hurler also delivered offensively, batting at .429, hitting five home runs and 31 RBI's. Pulsipher's pitch was clocked in at 87 miles per hour.
"There was a lot of pressure on me this [senior] season, but it was fun pressure," said Pulsipher in June of 1991.
It was not only his strength that made Pulsipher a force in the high school games. At 6-foot-4, he towered over the other pitchers in the region. A number of Major League scouts had come out to the Fairfax games to watch Pulsipher throw rockets past opposition batters. The former Pittsburgh Pirates scout Chuck Faris said in 1991: "Pulsipher projects real well because of his size. You look at what he might look like at 21 and it's like 'Wow!'"
After four years of impressive displays in the minor leagues - Baseball America ranked him 12th among pro prospects - Pulsipher got his chance to shine in the Big Apple.
"We're bringing him up with the intention he'll be here a while," said the Mets General Manager Joe McIlvaine in June of 1995. "We're bringing him up and cutting him loose."
Pulsipher responded to the invitation saying he does not expect to win a lot of games for the Mets, but he expected to hold his own. His father said it was something his son had wanted since he was three years old.
"He's always loved baseball," said his father.
As much of a force as Pulsipher may have been in basketball, his main sport remained baseball. Headlines from the time period are full of praise for the 6-foot-4 pitcher. In a 6-1 win over rival Annandale, in 1991, Pulsipher broke the game in the sixth inning. The game was tied until the sixth, but the giant on the Rebels squad nailed a grand slam to break the game open. He also threw 13 strikeouts that game.
As of this year, Pulsipher is back in the Atlantic Professional Baseball League, where he is the pitcher for the Long Island Ducks, a team he led to its first league championship in 2004, before making the Cardinals squad last year. So far this season, Pulsipher holds a 3-1 record and has thrown 27 strikeouts in 34 innings pitched for the Ducks.
Billy Pulsipher is 45 in a survey of the area's Top 100 Athletes by Connection Newspapers in 2000.

Finding sustainable, affordable and reliable energy solutions for Africa.
The African Renewable Energy Dialogue will consist of consultation around different areas of renewable energy promotion that proposes innovative solutions. The institutional, financial, technological, research & development and human resource frameworks will be highlighted, evaluated and taken further. Participants are invited to network, catalyze ideas and share information in a focused manner.
Energy consumption and related CO2 emissions are relatively low in Africa, but at the same time Africa is more exposed to climate change than any other region in the world. Being “one of the most vulnerable continents because of the range of projected impacts, multiple stresses and low adaptive capacity” it is expected to suffer from these consequences most notably. The African continent is already challenged with a high degree of weather variability on an annual and inter-annual basis that naturally provides few resource-based agricultural activities. Hence additional impacts of climate change threaten local livelihoods due to marginal adaptive capacities of rural African communities.
In finding a sustainable, affordable and reliable energy solution to meet its needs, and in order to avoid the high environmental costs of fossil- and nuclear power production, Africa has the opportunity to leapfrog the unsustainable development pathways followed by countries in the global North and power its economies and its societies through renewable energy.
The African Renewable Energy Dialogue aims to build bridges across country borders and strengthen ties among various climate/energy stakeholders by connecting the different silos of thought and action. The meeting aims to concentrate on the evaluation and dissemination of proven models for accelerating renewable energy, with brief introductions and inputs serving as the basis for collaboration to resolve operational issues, barriers and challenges as well as elaboration of sustainable solutions on various levels of implementation. One focus will be on thermal energy applications and the switch to sustainable use of energy for cooking, e.g. electricity generated by renewable energy sources.
Each participant will carry the dialogue home into their constituencies and communities and thus act as multipliers. AREA consists of 1,200 members from 87 countries. This network guarantees a considerable outreach. Our partners each possesses a wide range of contacts, utilizing these channels will ensure a maximum exposure of the African Renewable Energy Dialogue worldwide.
The workshop has taken place and 20 participants from 15 Africa countries joined the dialogue, coming from all five African geographical regions as well as representing all levels of society.
Increasing access to and enhancing reliability of electricity supply by renewables. Can renewable energy reduce electricity tariffs for the consumer?
The African Renewable Energy Dialogue has been pivotal in building bridges among Paramount Chiefs, Members of Parliament, Ministries, Energy Regulators, Electricity Utilities, Communities, Civil Society Organisations, Social Entrepreneurs and Universities. It also shaped the understanding of one African continent that will only succeed in countering climate change if all countries embark on a sustainable renewable energy development pathway together.

He first decimated Harsheel Dani of Maharashtra in the quarterfinals and later in the day, he accounted for Andhra Pradesh's K Jagadeesh. The manner in which he won both his matches underlined the fact that he is poised for greatness in the years to come.
The 18-year-old knows he is billed as the next Super Star of Indian badminton but at the same time he is aware of the fact that he has to keep on improving all the time.
"I know people say I am a special talent and have the potential to become India's best player after Kidambi Srikanth and HS Prannoy. It definitely gives me plenty of motivation and confidence. But at the same time it gives me pressure and burden of expectations. I am prepared to work hard and yes I want to become India's best player and hopefully world's best one day," said Lakshya.
The 2018 was perhaps the best year for this Uttarakhand lad as he notched up several major achievements including a gold medal in the Junior Asian Championship and bronze at the World Juniors in Canada. Tata Open title in Mumbai was another big title as he is graduating smoothly from juniors to seniors.
"After achieving a lot in the juniors, I now want to focus only on seniors from this year onwards. Although I can still play one more year in the juniors, my coaches and mentors have decided that I should stop playing in juniors. I have a series of international tournaments line up after this Senior Nationals and soon want to break into the world's top-50," said Lakshya, who is ranked 104 in the world.
He is targeting the next two Olympics and aiming to bring elusive medal for the country in the men's singles section.
"I know the time is too short for me to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics but I will give my best shot. Ultimately I want to win lot of international tournaments and bring laurels to the nation," said Lakshya.
He gives the entire credit of his success to coaches and support staff of Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy in Bengaluru.
"They picked me early. I am there since I was ten. My family also shifted to Bengaluru now. I am lucky to have strong support at my back which helps me to concentrate solely on badminton," said the in-form shuttler, whose elder brother Chirag is also a top class player.

Change is afoot in Today FM with the announcement of two big names joining their weekend schedule, namely Hector and Danny O’Reilly from the Coronas.
Yesterday UTV Radio Solutions announced its new entity – UrbanMedia – branding themselves a new media solutions provider for the Irish market. This is once again a signal that communications and advertising has changed for good.
New Year, Not So New Leader In The Radio Market.
JNLR day is upon us and what have we learned? The public loves radio with 83% of the Irish population (3.1 million) tuning in on a daily basis. This is year on year growth on 82% in 2014. It could be argued that this is due to radio being more accessible via mobile and digitally via TV & Desktop.
Presenters Fiona Stack (Radio Kerry), Neil Prendeville (Red FM), Dermot Whealan (Today FM) and Ger Gilroy (Newstalk) each highlighted different elements on what makes radio great.
The lack of fanfare surrounding the latest Joint National Readership Survey (JNRS) was potentially more interesting than some of the findings. The printed press community find themselves in a concerning situation, where even for the winners there really was not much to shout about.
Now, a sceptic might say, RTE have simply bought in Today FMs star striker to give their guy a chance of winning the league, but no one here would have such a devious thought…..
Evolution Or Revolution? The Face Of Radio Is Changing.
For most, this morning’s commute would have been filled with a plethora of good news stories from whatever radio station you listen to. With such a vast array of quotable figures there is always a good news story for each station to report.
The latest JNLR survey released this afternoon showed us that 83% of the population are tuning in every day and listening for on average 3.9 hours per day.
If recent investment into media in this country is a barometer, the temperature is rising. I've noticed a renewed energy behind many media suppliers.Perhaps it’s the onslaught of more competition and fragmentation in the marketplace but in any case, it’s welcomed with open arms.
The latest JNLR survey, released yesterday afternoon, showed us that 83% of the population are tuning in every day and listening for on average 3.9 hours per day. Radio continues to make people feel connected and part of the wider community.
Neil Prendeville is to leave Cork's 96 to join Red FM. March 31st is the start day for both Prendeville's new mid-morning show and KC’s new breakfast show on the station. These appointments indicate a clear determination from Red FM to be number one in the Cork market.
The first released SIMI figures are very promising and are showing a 30%+ lift in car sales compared to last January. This will be the first time since 2010 we have seen significant positive growth in the car market.
The latest Rajar figures released in the UK today show that weekly radio listenership is at 91% of the UK population, which is a 1% increase on this time last year. While BBC continues to dominate UK radio with 55.2% share of hours versus the 42.1% with commercial radio.

In 1989, at a pub called the Slug and Lettuce in Northern London, Edwin Datschefski was sitting with his green design colleagues Yorick Benjamin and Paul Scott when he noticed an enviro-minded acquaintance at a nearby table. As it turned out, the friend was sitting with a few of his own eco-conscious mates, so they pulled some tables together. And so a movement was born.
The concept evolved into Green Drinks and now it’s global. In 2001, Datschefski created an official Web site, and it has since spread across the world. See www.greendrinks.org for the latest city count and a list of countries. Each city has an organiser who arranges meetings in bars and restaurants (often with organic or vegetarian food), relays information via email, and facilitates discussions.
The spirit of Green Drinks is that anyone can come, and this makes for interesting interactions.
There are lots of benefits to green drinks; they are hard to quantify, but when you have seen people come and make new links and learn and argue and set up new schemes and get new jobs etc, it is a good feeling.

Cozy and delicious, this Apple Chai Oatmeal is a warm fall hug in a bowl. Warmly chai spiced oatmeal is cooked with almond toasted coconut milk (or milk of your choice) and topped with applesauce, maple syrup and chopped pecans.
Mornings have gotten chillier and chillier. And I love it. Once I wave goodbye to my girls goodbye as Haileigh drives to school, I skip go inside and make a cup of coffee, watch Today and then make breakfast a little while thereafter. I usually alternate between veggie/spinach scramble and oatmeal. Normally when I make oatmeal, I just make regular old oatmeal and top it with cinnamon and a little brown sugar or maple syrup. After reorganizing my spice cupboard and I found my homemade chai spice and a light went off.
So I heated up almond coconut milk with chai spice and simmer it until thick. I topped my bowl with homemade applesauce (a recipe I’ll share soon, I promise!) and maple syrup. And not just any maple syrup, real maple syrup. Bonus points if you get the bourbon barrel stuff. AMAZING.
Warm chai spiced oatmeal naturally sweetened with homemade applesauce and maple syrup. The best fall flavors!!
Here’s what you’ll need: 3-1/2 cups almond toasted coconut milk (or milk of your choice), 1-1/2 teaspoons homemade chai spice, a pinch of kosher salt, 2 cups old fashioned oatmeal, 1 tablespoon ghee or butter, applesauce, maple syrup and cinnamon.
Start by pouring the milk of your choice or water even, into a sauce pan. Heat on high while stirring ofter until the milk begins to boil.
Then reduce the heat to medium-high heat and stir in the oatmeal. Continue to stir while the oatmeal cooks and thickens. Keep in mind that the oatmeal will thicken even after you remove it off of the heat.
Next add in 1 tablespoon of butter or ghee and stir until melted throughout.
Spoon the oatmeal into two bowls and spoon on a little applesauce, drizzle with maple syrup and top with chopped pecans.
Enjoy! And if you give this Apple Chai Oatmeal recipe a try, let me know! Snap a photo and tag me on twitter or instagram!

A paper published today in Geophysical Research Letters finds that even under the most exaggerated "strongest" forcing scenario simulated by climate models, the Arctic "becomes summer ice-free by the end of the 21st century and year-round ice-free by the end of the 23rd century." Leaving aside that climate models offer little more than simulating a random walk, many alarmist climate scientists have had no shame from incorrectly predicting a year-round ice-free Arctic many times in the past or within the next two years.
Abstract: Using CCSM4 climate simulations for 1850–2300 with four different future forcing scenarios, we show that the maximum strength of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) decreases proportionally to the applied CO2 forcing. This weakening of the overturning is caused by a reduction or shut down of North Atlantic (NA) deep convection due to a surface freshening. In the Labrador Sea, the surface freshening is caused by strongly increased liquid freshwater exports from the Arctic, which are largely due to the decrease in the Arctic sea ice cover. In the strongest forcing scenario (RCP8.5), the Arctic becomes summer ice-free by the end of the 21st century and year-round ice-free by the end of the 23rd century. As a result of the associated freshening, all NA deep convection ceases by 2145, which leads to a 72% (18 Sv) decrease of the MOC strength by the end of the simulation in 2300.
Man's dream for 500 years: a northwest passage. Shipping the great circle route from Europe to Asia. Too bad it can't happen sooner.
Surely, this wasn't just "man's dream" -- it must have been "man's only dream." But it has never been my dream -- am I missing the "greatest story ever told," or something. Or, maybe, "a northwest passage" has never really been all that high on the world's list of critical problems to be solved, even if it was high on the list of a handful of people.
Unfortunately, there's much more complexity involved here that doesn't lend itself to linear approximations. The Arctic ice coverage has been translating (mathematical term) downwards, both upper and lower parts of the sinusoidal curve. Eventually, just the September portion will "hit bottom" and be totally ice free, followed by August & October, and then July - November.
This downward translation will have dips and recoveries, but the general trend will be downward, and the trend will be log accelerating for reasons that I don't have time to go into, but salinity increase is one of them. The meteorological implications are stunning and reading up on Ewing and Donn will get you off in the right direction!!!
Uh, this is not a linear approximation. It is based on [albeit highly flawed] nonlinear climate models with the highest CO2 forcing assumptions.
You seem to know it all, so please do explain exactly how melting ice causes an increase in salinity, which leads to a runaway positive-feedback tipping point not captured by these state-of-the-art climate models.

(41) PraiseGate: Did Rabbi Wolicki Limit Praising G-d?
One of our most controversial podcasts was episode 6, when Rabbi Pesach Wolicki suggested, based on Psalms 113:3, that night is not the proper time to praise G-d. Many people found this troubling: shouldn’t we praise the Lord all the time? How can there be times when praising G-d is inappropriate? In this special Passover edition of the Cup of Salvation Podcast, Rabbi Wolicki and David Nekrutman delve deeper into the idea that certain times are designed for praise, while others are not. They also discuss the connection between this idea and the Passover Seder, and deal with the question of why, despite the fact that praise is a daytime activity, we still say the verses of Hallel on the first night of Passover.

I find Lenten music inspiring and enjoyable to sing. As singers, we are able to read the words and sing them to music, and almost all of the Lenten music with which I am familiar is lovely, both in words and in music.
Lent is a particular time of the Christian year in which we are able to think about what we might do better, and during the eight years in which I cared for my parents, I came to really appreciate the ability to sing, as an adjunct to the spoken Confession of Faith (I prefer, as usual, Rite I, because I love the language), and to get myself into a state of mind that was helpful to me as a caregiver. I'm not perfect - and perhaps much less so than some of my fellows, and I know it, and the period of Lent, painful though it might be, prepares me for Easter and the Resurrection of our Lord. It's a reminder that thoughtfulness and sacrifice come before joy.
When I sing, I'm not alone, and I'm not just in the company of my fellow singers, but in the company of all those who have sung this music before, and put the words so carefully to music. My voice swells to be singing with them.
"To decline from sin, and incline to mercy: That we may walk with a perfect heart."

Mahmoud Rafat Badran and his family had been driving home from a swimming pool when Israeli forces showered their car with gunfire, killing Mahmoud, and seriously injuring his two brothers 16-year-old Amir and 17-year-old Hadi, as well as Daoud Abu Hassan, 16, and Majd Badran, 16.
Palestinian Red Crescent Society ambulances reportedly said that Israeli soldiers prevented paramedics from reaching the wounded Palestinians for over an hour and a half.
“This cold-blooded assassination reaffirms our calls to the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary, or arbitrary executions, to initiate an immediate extensive investigation into Israeli extrajudicial killings of Palestinians; particularly children,” the statement read.
The statement pointed out that the incident took place near a bypass road for Israelis, built on private Palestinian land, referred to as route 443 but also known to Palestinians as Apartheid Road.
Spokesperson for the Palestinian government Youssef al-Mahmoud also condemned Israel for Mahmoud Badran’s killing, echoing Erekat’s statement by demanding an international investigation into extrajudicial executions and the “inhumane” actions of the Israeli army against Palestinians.
The ministry stressed that the actions of Netanyahu’s government were proof of their increasingly extreme and oppressive policies against Palestinians.
Meanwhile, Israel’s Foreign Ministry reportedly said in response to the incident that, “If it were not for the difficult security situation which is entirely the result of incitement and Palestinian terror, Israel would not be forced to use force in order to protect its civilians,” despite the Israeli army’s admission that Badran had nothing to do with the stone-throwing incident.
In recent months, Israel has accused numerous Palestinians of “inciting terror” and detained scores for Facebook posts that Israeli authorities alleged were responsible for an increase in alleged attacks and attempted attacks against Israeli military targets and settlers.
Erekat previously requested that the UN open an investigation into Israeli extrajudicial executions after an Israeli soldier unnecessarily shot and killed a wounded Palestinian in Hebron at point-blank range in March.
He said at the time he made the request during a meeting with UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Nickolay Mladenov.
While Israel had announced its own investigation into the "brutal execution," Erekat said that "historic facts" cast doubt on Israeli investigations, which he said had "yet to serve justice."
Erekat alleged that Israel had carried out 207 cases of extrajudicial killings of Palestinians between September and March.
The number appeared to refer to the total number of Palestinians killed since a wave of unrest swept the occupied Palestinian territory and Israel, which to date has seen some 220 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces.
While several dozen Palestinians have been killed in clashes with Israeli forces, the majority were shot dead after alleged attacks and attempted attacks on Israeli soldiers and settlers, with some 30 Israelis killed in the same period.
The Israeli army also previously claimed to have killed a Palestinian child by accident during the recent unrest.
However, Palestinians and rights groups have disputed Israel's version of events in many of these deadly encounters.
In a number of cases, they have argued the Palestinians were not attempting to carry out attacks at all, while in others, they have condemned Israeli forces for their excessive use of force where there was no imminent danger, in killings they say amount to "extrajudicial executions."
In recent years, the Palestinian leadership has made a concerted effort to apply pressure on Israel through a variety of international bodies such as the UN and International Criminal Court.
Erekat has pledged to supply evidence to the UN "in order to initiate immediate investigations into the current situation and bring justice to the people of Palestine."

Hello and welcome to my little corner of the net, WildheartLife!
My name is Wildeheart but people often shorten it to Wilde. I started this site as a place to put my random thoughts, opinions and memories in a more permanent space. The name Wildeheart comes from my main character in World of Warcraft. I started playing WoW in 2007 just before Burning Crusade was released. When Wrath of the Lich King was released I re-rolled to Druid and gave her a name that would stick with me ever since.
I have been playing games nearly all my life. My first console was a Tele-games Super Pong IV and whilst I enjoyed it the console never held my attentions long. I often would spend more time drawing, reading fantasy books, puzzle games and tearing things apart in my quest to understand how everything works. Some years later Atari released the 2600 and two games, Moon Patrol and Yar’s Revenge in specific, hooked me on video games for life. Role-playing in the form of Dungeon and Dragons soon followed and then my first PC an IBM XT.
The stage was set for a life long passion of video games, roleplaying and technology. With this site I hope to share some of that passion, joy and experience with you the reader. Whether it is video games, hardware, movies, books or rare moments in life, I plan to write about things that are capturing my interest, things that are keeping me excited and engaged, things I am enjoying and things that confuse or frustrate me as well.
With anything I write I will endeavor to think of my audience and place a ‘Spoiler’ tag very prominently where I feel it is appropriate. The Armoury will be a continually updated page with links to Blizzard Entertainments armoury pages and individual character stories as they become available. The Gallery section will be small collections of images I really want to share but never make it into any article. Also of note, some things I write about may be controversial. I am also Autistic. I tend to have very set opinions on things which stems from a very strong sense of right and wrong that will come through in my writing.
With all that said and if you dear reader are still with me, Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoy your time here and I look forward to engaging with you in the comments!
PS. This is actually a direct copy of my about page as I thought it would be the best opening for the site today. I would just like to add I have preloaded a few articles and some galleries as well and I am very eager to hear your feedback. This has been a huge project for me and I have poured everything I am into it. There is plenty more to come in the near future and I truly hope you enjoy it. Thank you so very much for stopping by and I do hope you enjoy your time here!
Next articleWar Mode through my eyes!
Amg, so much hype! It is up! Looking forward to dive into your new site when real life lets me 🙂 It’s lookin’ good.
Done! Hehe, thank you for the suggestion Allunaria. These little details go a long way to helping me improve the site for everyone!
Cool idea with the Armory. And those galleries are looking great too.
I think many read blogs in the WordPress Reader, but some, like myself, do visit each individual blog site, because it just looks way nicer that way.
If you feel like it, remember to participate in https://zandcindersblogchallenge.wordpress.com/ 🙂 Good fun!
You've mention the wordpress reader a couple of time. Ill have to check to see how it parses my site and see if there are ways I can optimise for it. I will also keep in mind your tip for delaying the actual spoiler information in the posts!
Thank you again for all your suggestions. I love them and they can have direct and positive impact on the site. Both the like button and comments without details have been implemented!
🙂 Hi again. Super, that Like function works now!
For some reason though; I still have to type in my Name, Email and Website. I wish I was more of a techy techy person, so I could assist you. In my WordPress Reader, I do have to click each of your posts and it takes me to your site – instead of being able to read them fully in the Reader. Am I making sense? It’s fine for me; that’s how I read blogs anyway, but I think some might want to be able to stick to their WordPress Reader. Sorry I cannot be more of help.
Aw don’t worry about passing on the challenges every now and again; I think many of us are gaming less because of the time – Legion soon over – many living in BfA Beta already, etc.

How could SkyMall’s product stop meeting it’s customer’s needs?
Anyone who has ever flown on a plane in the U.S. knows who SkyMall is. They are the company that provides the catalog of things that you probably don’t really need that gets placed in the seat pocket in front of you. Even in today’s modern electronics age, when the flight attendants told you to turn everything off, at some point in time you reached for the SkyMall catalog just to see what was in it. When this happened, they had you! However, SkyMall just announced that they’ll be going out of business. What happened here?
From a traditional product management perspective, SkyMall had a perfect market position. They were in just about every seat on every airline and they had a captive audience – eventually everyone would take a look at their advertising brochure (the catalog). For a long time this worked well. SkyMall started in 1989 and had US$33.7M in revenue in 2013.
However, SkyMall ran into a problem that a lot of product managers have had to face. The environment in which their market operated started to change. Their CEO cited a “…crowded, rapidly evolving and intensely competitive…” retail environment as being the reason that the company was having problems. The reason for these problems were due to an increasing number of airlines who were providing their customers with Internet access during flights. All of a sudden the SkyMall magazine was not the only place to get those last minute gifts that you had forgotten about. Additionally, airlines now allow their passengers to keep their electronic devices on at all times and this has resulted in additional competition for the attention of passengers – a game which SkyMall lost.
Just to make things even more difficult, access to their customers was starting to dwindle. Back in November, Delta airlines had stopped carrying the magazine on its flights. Additionally, Southwest Airlines has just announced that they’ll stop carrying the SkyMall catalog in midyear. SkyMall’s traditional customer base is drying up just when the completion for this customer’s attention has become heated. What’s an airborne catalog to do?
Clearly SkyMall has fallen on to some hard times. However, as with all product related stories, things didn’t have to turn out this way. Ultimately, it’s the job of the product managers to ensure that their product is a success. SkyMall’s primary product, it’s catalog, needed help and guidance from its product managers in order to change its product development definition and help it to remain successful even as the environment in which its market operated changed.
The challenges that SkyMall is facing are not unique. The Internet has operated as a disruptive force for many tradition brick-and-mortar based businesses. What’s different is that those business have adjusted to their new business environment and SkyMall has not. SkyMall currently does not really have a compelling identify. Sure, everyone knows that they exist, but nobody associates them with anything in particular. Their catalog is filled with a lot of different things, but there is no purpose to it.
What should the SkyMall product managers have done? One thing that they should have done was to realize that not all airline passengers are the same – who really orders from SkyMall? They should have identified this customer and then made their catalog targeted to them instead of trying to create a generic catalog. This skill should be on everyone’s product manager resume. Next, many of the items in their catalog can be purchased from other vendors. What SkyMall needed to do was to get unique items that only they could offer. Next, they had to make every issue of the catalog different and interesting so that everyone would always pick it up when they sat down in order to see what this issue offered.
As product managers we need to understand that the environments in which our markets operate are always changing. Just when we become comfortable with the way that things are, bang – something will change. The SkyMall catalog product managers became too comfortable with the way that they reached their customers and the products that they offered and they were not ready when things changed. The ability to anticipate and deal with change should be a part of every product manager job description.
Changes in what people do when they fly on planes let to the downfall of SkyMall. When people didn’t have anything else to do, they looked at the catalog. Now that they can do other things, they are not looking. Additionally, airlines are no longer providing access to SkyMall’s customers. The SkyMall product managers should have created a catalog that had great content, unique products, and was compelling to look at and read.
As product managers we always need to be keeping our eyes open in order to detect if our markets are changing. If we detect that changes are occurring, then we need to take steps to modify our product in order to better match the needs of the new market. The good news is that this is all possible to do. Just make sure that you react to market changes faster than the SkyMall product managers did!
Question For You: How important do you think having a compelling cover on the SkyMall catalog would be?

A ham is a tightly stuffed pillow. It’s called a ham because it’s shaped like a ham. It’s used to press curved areas. This allows a garment to better fit body contours. A ham is cotton on one side, wool on the other. Use the cotton side for cotton or cotton blend fabrics. It’s a must for tailoring and to give your garments a professional press. And it’s fun to make.

Chelsea closed in on the Europa League quarterfinals with win over Dynamo Kiev, while Arsenal and Benfica will have to overturn deficits in the second leg of their round-of-16 matches to advance.
Fellow London club Arsenal, though, is in trouble following a 3-1 loss at Rennes. The French club rallied from an early deficit after Arsenal was reduced to 10 men to spoil goalkeeper Petr Cech’s return to the city where he spent two seasons early in his career.
The 36-year-old Cech, who is retiring at the end of this season, made some great saves against the attack-minded home side but couldn’t do anything to prevent his former club from building a massive advantage ahead of next week’s return leg at the Emirates.
Napoli cruised past Salzburg 3-0 and Valencia beat Krasnodar 2-1, while high-scoring Eintracht Frankfurt was held to a 0-0 draw at home by Inter Milan.
Also, Villarreal struck twice in the second half to earn a 3-1 away win at Zenit St. Petersburg. The return games take place on March 14.
Sarri made six changes from Sunday’s 2-1 victory over Fulham, and two of those players made the difference in the first half.
Pedro squandered more chances as Dynamo had no answer to Chelsea’s dominance.
After Nacho Monreal’s own goal in the 65th, Ismaila Sarr completed a dominant performance by Rennes, heading home from close range two minutes from time.
Wissam Ben Yedder was on target even earlier than Iwobi, punishing Slavia Prague’s poor defending within the opening minute to give Sevilla an early lead.
It was the seventh goal for the forward in the Europa League this season, joining Salzburg’s Munas Dabbur atop the scoring table.
Napoli Coach Carlo Ancelotti kept a perfect record in the Europa League with a third win in his first three games, this time at the expense of last year’s semifinalist Salzburg.
Forward Arkadiusz Milik ended his scoring drought in European competition after 10 minutes at the Stadio San Paolo. Napoli’s leading scorer in Serie A – with 14 goals – beat an offside trap before rounding goalkeeper Alexander Walke to score into an empty net.
Eintracht had been the highest-scoring team in the competition so far, but Inter’s defense was too difficult to crack for the German side. It even needed goalkeeper Kevin Trapp to save Marcelo Brozovic’s penalty in the first half to salvage the draw.
Zenit’s Sardar Azmoun canceled out Villarreal’s opening goal in the first half but the Spanish team scored through Manu Morlanes and Gerard Moreno hit in the second half to take firm control ahead of the return leg.
Forward Rodrigo Rodrigo netted twice in the first half for Valencia, but Viktor Claesson pulled one back in the second half for Russia’s Krasnodar.

Rochdale Men’s Firsts faced a tough journey to Kirkby Lonsdale on Saturday (23 March), and with a lack of key players due to work commitments, there was a return to the fold for George Rogers.
With the lack of forward options, it was left to the experienced talisman Mark Eden to lead Rochdale’s front line, but Kirkby's abundance of pace upfront caused numerous problems for the Rochdale defence and they found themselves three nil down in a short period of time.
A big call was then made to change things around moving Eden to the back in place of Danny Ramsbottom.
A stark difference was noticed as the forwards began to work well with the ball being held up and excellent link up play and the defence looking much more solid, with Eden and Andrew Borritt having the better of the Kirkby forwards.
Danny Bowe was working hard and causing problems for Kirkby down the Rochdale right linking well with Andy Meanock who was also helping the younger players with his constant advice and encouragement.
Rochdale were guilty of missing some well worked chances and the Kirkby back line were struggling with Rochdale’s pace and trickery. The highlight of the game being a tomahawk by Ramsbottom which the goal keeper just managed to keep out.
Rochdale managed to pull one back with Adam Massey, back from his recent travels, through a tap in from a huge Michael Waddicor strike, but despite their efforts and a hard game by all, the game ended 4-1 to Kirkby.
A special mention must go to Luke Rosebury and Adam Massey who worked tirelessly all game and with a full-strength side next week at South Lakes Rochdale should hopefully be back to winning ways.
The Flying Horse Man of the match was jointly awarded to Andrew Borritt and Adam Massey.

Sixth Sense Ventures, an early-stage consumer-sector-focused fund, is in talks to buy a small stake in condiments and sauce company Veeba Food Services Pvt. Ltd, in a deal valuing the company at over $100 million (about Rs650 crore), two people aware of the development said.
Incorporated in 2013, Veeba Food supplies sauces and dips to restaurants and fast-food chains including KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Taco Bell, Domino’s and Starbucks. The company was started by Viraj Bahl, the former head of packaged foods firm Fun Foods, which was sold to German food maker Dr Oetker in 2008.
“Sixth Sense Ventures is in talks to acquire a small stake in Veeba, through a secondary share purchase. A couple of the early backers, angel investors, of the company are looking to sell their shares to Sixth Sense,” said one of the two people cited above, requesting anonymity as the talks are private.
The transaction, which will value the company at around Rs700-800 crore, is expected to be closed soon, he added.
Veeba Food has been tweaking its business model from a 100% business-to-business (B2B) supplier of condiments and sauces to launching several products under its own Veeba brand through modern retail and online channels, according to the second person mentioned above. “They are attracting significant investor interest given their focus on both the B2B and B2C segments,” he added.
B2C refers to business to consumer.
Veeba’s retail product range includes mayonnaise, sandwich spread, Italian sauces, salad dressing, dips and mustard sauce.
An email sent to Veeba founder Bahl on Tuesday did not elicit any response.
“Sixth Sense is a consumer-focused fund and we have invested significantly behind brands of tomorrow. We are evaluating a couple of investments in the space and will disclose the same when closed,” said Nikhil Vora, founder of Sixth Sense Ventures.
Sixth Sense is not the first investor to bet on Veeba.
In October 2016, Veeba Food raised $6 million in a Series B round of fundraising from venture firms Saama Capital and Verlinvest.
Earlier in 2015, the company raised $6 million from DSG Consumer Partners and Saama Capital.
Other investors too have bet on this space.
In June 2016, Cremica Food Industries Ltd, a Ludhiana-based food products firm, raised $15 million from Rabo Equity Advisors Pvt. Ltd, which manages the India Agri Business Fund II.
Cremica, known for its sauce, condiments and snacks, is looking to achieve sales of Rs1,000 crore by 2020, the company said in a statement announcing the investment.

Perhaps THE traditional American salad, it’s the one with virtually everything in it, so can make a meal in itself. Feel free to play around with the mix of greens—I love to include some bitter watercress in the mix. The salad is often arranged in stripes, so that diners can tailor-make their own plate, or you could toss the lot together.
Wash, spin and rip the lettuce into smallish pieces and arrange over a platter. Repeat with the watercress, removing any tough stems, and sprinkle over the salad leaves.
Now line up the remaining ingredients in attractive stripes across the platter.
Shake the dressing ingredients together in a jar (no salt required with the salty cheese and bacon) and drizzle over the salad.

The Free Application For Federal Student Aid or FAFSA form for the 2018-2019 school year has been released. This is a government-based form with the goal of providing support for education funds. If your child is looking to receive any Federal or State funded money for their college tuition, filling out a FAFSA form is a requirement.
FAFSA is used to determine the amount of funding a student can receive based on financial need. This form considers the overall financial profile of the student and the household they belong to. Notorious for its length and complexity, FAFSA does come with its own challenges. This blog is here to help you and your child breeze through it!
This application is found and completed online through the FAFSA portal, which you can find here. FAFSA is comprised of 7 sections, all detailing specific aspects of the household income and financial landscape of the family. Let’s take a look at these sections and the documentation you will need in order to fill them out.
This section is all about your student: birthday, age, address, driver’s license number, social security number, convictions, parent’s education level, type of degree pursuing. Just about any basic information you can think of, lives in this first section. It is handy to have all necessary documents: ID, SS card, etc. to make the process go smoother.
This section is where the student’s tax documents and assets (money saved) will come into play. It will ask for their tax return, earnings, adjusted gross income, untaxed income, any spousal income if applicable, and miscellaneous financial information.
Student status looks at their marital, military, dependent, minor, and home status. In essence, this section looks at who the student is and their legal family situation.
This is another lengthy section, comprised of 35 questions to assess the parent’s financial state. The form will ask for social security verification, tax returns, all income channels, residency status, and investments.
Here, the form asks you about the general household information including benefit status and dislocated worker status.
You have to choose the schools your student is planning on applying to and which will receive FAFSA (up to 10 schools can be selected).
In this stage you can review your information, sign and date the document and you are all set!
With any government form, processes and procedures are built-in to the system. I’ll give you some frequently asked questions and answers to help you with the process this year.
Do I have to fill out a form every year?
With FAFSA it is important to remember that the form is not a one-time thing. You must complete a new form each school year.
The deadline for filling out the 2018-2019 FAFSA form is June 30, 2019.
Do I need a separate student and parent account?
If you have to input both student and parent information, then you will need both a student and parent account. This process will give you both FSA ID numbers. Keep these numbers handy as you will need them before pressing submit.
So my student signed the form, what next?
If the student is a dependent, the parent will also have to log in with their FSA ID and sign it before the form is considered officially completed.
I know that FAFSA can be a difficult form to fill out, but with the breakdown of the form itself and answers to common questions, hopefully you will find it to be a breeze this year!
Still struggling to get started with the FAFSA? Contact us today! We’re happy to help walk you through it.

And while she has lived through some of the most momentous events in history, her fondest memories are of her family’s milestone moments.
One of her happiest and most enduring memories was offlying to Sydney from Cooranbong in 1935 with her husband-to-be,prominent local pioneer aviator Franklyn Wainman,in Charles Kingsford Smith’s planeSouthern Cross to buy an engagement ring.
“That’s the planethat just a few years earlier had completed the world’s first trans-Pacific flightfrom California to Australia,” she said.
Pastor Kenn Duke leads birthday celebrations for Coralee WainmanMrs Jackson said her mother had lived through the advent of many life-changing inventionsand technological advances.
“The other day Mum was talking about how she and Dad would get around in a horse and buggy, and she still remembers when they got their first car, and what a big thing that was,” she said.
The Wainmanswere the proprietors of the landmark Wainman’s Garage, in Cooranbong, for 30 years, before Mr Wainman’s death in 1971.
Prior to settling in Cooranbong, Mrs Wainman worked for a time at David Jones, in Sydney, where she added the finishing touches to the hats before they were put on display for sale.
Last year, at her 104thbirthday, Mrs Wainman told the Lakes Mail how “lots of sugar, salt andchocolate, Weet-Bix for breakfast, and no exercise whatsoever” had been the unlikely cornerstones of her longevity.
Congratulatory letters from the Queen and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull have arrived for Mrs Wainman.

Job recruitment or recruitment consultancy has continued to grow as a preferred career option for many. Companies have also realized the benefits attached to outsourcing of the recruitment process to the agencies that specialize in this field. In most cases, those working in this field tend to have a background in sales, customer service, and marketing. One of the reasons why job recruitment agencies are important is because they follow a strict recruitment procedure that applies to all possible recruits.
Legal recruiters seek the services of recruitment agencies because to them the process of recruitment takes up a lot of time, which they might not have. Rather than engage in the recruitment process themselves, they outsource this function to outside firms. Recruitment agencies act as middlemen that connect applicants to potential employers and the other way round. A competent agency should be able to know the ways in which they can have access to applicants seeking employment and companies searching for people to hire. Many recruitment agencies find lists of vacancies from employers and post them on Internet job boards or other places. They also tend to be on the look out for CVs uploaded by applicants on the same Internet job boards. Essentially, this saves the applicants the agony of having to tarmac company-to-company issuing their CVs even in places that are not recruiting. However, these agencies cannot alter the information provided by applicants without their consent.
Further, these firms also come to the aid of applicants as they mostly edit the CVs that they upload and send a better version to the potential employer. The advantage that this presents is that it increases the employment prospects for the applicant by a very high margin. Of course, job recruitment consultants cannot be in business if they are not making a profit. They usually leave out the detail about the company that is hiring so as to avoid applicants from applying directly to the potential employer without involving them. The legal recruiters send the CVs to the hiring companies at a fee, making it profitable for them. As it emerges, recruitment agencies are an essential part of the recruitment process as they present benefits to employers and to potential employees. There are recruitment agencies that are specific to the legal field and there is no better legal recruitment firm than the Heller Group. Visit Heller Group legal recruitment consulting for information about what they can do for your legal career.
