Home Ministry Scores Own Goal In Citizenship For Footballers
Citizenship has always been a contentious issue. Although the majority of Malaysians are citizens by birth or by operation of law, there are many whose status remains as stateless.
Every now and then, cries labelling certain sections of the population as pendatang (migrant) are heard – from politicians and their ilk who use it as a weapon when their arsenal is near empty.
There are thousands of Malaysians who were born in this country and yet have not been accorded citizenship for various reasons.
The latest is the case of Hew Ling Poa, a 52-year-old grandmother. She remains puzzled why she still holds a permanent resident (PR) status, despite both her parents being Malaysian.
Her younger brother is Malaysian, her late husband is Malaysian, her 25-year-old daughter is Malaysian, and her grandchild is Malaysian. However, Hew, now in her 50s, is still holding a red identity card.
There are similar tales of woe all over the country, but there seems to be no political will to solve the problem.
The fight for automatic citizenship for overseas-born children of Malaysian mothers is now in the Federal Court.
In September last year, the Kuala Lumpur High Court ruled that the government must grant citizenship to children born abroad to Malaysian mothers as the word "father" in the Second Schedule of the Constitution must mean and include mothers.
However, on Aug 5, the Court of Appeal overturned the decision stating that children born overseas to Malaysian mothers can be denied citizenship by operation of the law.
In the appellate court, judge Kamaludin Md Said and judge Azizah Nawawi took the view that the word "father" in the Second Schedule of Part II of the Federal Constitution meant biological father and cannot be extended to include mother or parents.
Naturalised footballers
While waiting for the Federal Court hearing, a turn of events took place on Merdeka Day when British-born footballer Lee Tuck announced that he had become a naturalised citizen.
He is a footballer playing for Pahang FC since 2017, and his citizenship application appears to have been fast-tracked.
But Tuck is not the first. Before him, fellow Briton Sam Somerville, Guilherme de Paula from Brazil and Liridon Krasniqi from Kosovo were granted citizenship. All three arrived in Malaysia in 2016-2017 to play in the national football league. In short, like Tuck, they have been in Malaysia for about four to five years.
British-born footballer Lee TuckHere is the shocker: From 2014 to 2021, 25 players have been naturalised, eight of whom had no stints with either Harimau Malaya or junior national teams.
This means football officials have apparently used their influence or pulled strings to get citizenship for players without meeting the basic prerequisites for their applications to be processed.
Article 19(3) of the Federal Constitution states that: "The periods of residence in the Federation or the relevant part of it which are required for the grant of a certificate of naturalisation are periods which amount in the aggregate to not less than 10 years in the 12 years immediately preceding the date of the application for the certificate, and which include the 12 months immediately preceding that date."
According to the Home Ministry's website, citizenship by naturalisation is for those who fulfil the minimum residency requirements and have adequate knowledge of the Malay language (the residency requirement has been outlined above).
Close one eye
I raised this issue in a column on the three last year and asked: "So, did the ministry breach its own rules and fast-track their applications? Was it not a dereliction of their duties or was it a case of tutup satu mata (close one eye)?"
So, what's the beef with the 52-year-old grandmother who has lived in Malaysia for 47 years? Why can't she be given citizenship? What about the mothers who want their children to be recognised as citizens?
If the explanation is that the footballers are professionals and are in the same league as Ronaldo or Mo Salah, it is gibberish.
The footballers who come to our shores seeking to make a fortune are journeymen who can find a place in leagues in their own countries. Most are represented by agents who peddle their wards to minor leagues in Asia.
Neither the Home Ministry nor its officials responded to the article last year because they could not provide plausible explanations for the decisions.
This was despite my adding of a footnote that the minister cannot sit on a pedestal and remain silent and should provide answers for the many wrongdoings in his ministry.
I don't expect any response this time around, but I hope lawmakers will continue pushing for answers.
Hopefully, during the next parliamentary sitting, some light will be shed on the double standards practised by the ministry. - Mkini

MyWeboo – Your Social Web Storage for Files and Bookmarks
Charnita Fance
MyWeboo is an interesting concept; it lets you manage your web files from various social networks all in one place. Plus, you get 1GB of storage for saving and backing up those files. It currently works with Facebook, YouTube, MySpace, Flickr, Photobucket, Picasa, Delicious, Wretch, Amazon S3 and Your PC (Windows). You get to connect your accounts and create "drives" for each one. You can also download a PC connector that lets you easily transfer files from your PC to your computer.
Once you create your drives you can click on each one to see all of the current files (images and videos) already associated with it. The default view is album view, but you can click on each item to enlarge it and even edit it in some cases (not all sites support editing). Videos can be viewed right from within the site and take up the whole viewing window; this is very nice if you have a large monitor.
Files can be downloaded, emailed and shared (with users from your MyWeboo contact list). You can also create a public link for sharing your items online. You will be able to create new folders and upload items to your social networks right from MyWeboo. You can even go a step further and configure your email accounts (Gmail or AOL) so that you can send and receive right from the site. The downside to this is that it only supports POP3 usage and not IMAP.
MyWeboo is also great for managing your bookmarks. You can create folders right on the site and add bookmarks by search or URL. You'll be able to enter additional info about your bookmark – title, description/comment and even a username and password and it will remember it for you. You can reorder bookmarks (move up or down), edit them and delete them.
If you connect your Delicious account, your bookmarks will be imported from there as well. The tags that you use on Delicious serve as folders on MyWeboo. Clicking on the tags/folders will show you the bookmarks associated with that keyword/phrase. If you used more than one tag on a website, this could be a problem since you will have the bookmark listed under many different folders. You can also add bookmarks to Delicious directly from MyWeboo.
You'll get a profile page and URL that you can share with friends. You can choose which activities are public and which are private. The timeline on your profile will show others what images and videos you've uploaded, what videos you've added to your favorites on YouTube and even your status messages (if set to public on the actual sites).
Is MyWeboo worth your time? I say definitely if you're someone who does a lot of image and video uploading. It can be a time saver and also helps you to more easily organize your files.

Instagram Checkout and the Move Toward Frictionless eCommerce
The number of hurdles standing between online shoppers and completing transactions is dwindling. The path to purchase is getting smoother as retailers move toward frictionless ecommerce. Gone are the days where shoppers must visit an ecommerce website to buy a product, especially if they originally spot the product on a social media platform.
Nowadays, social shopping is capable of enabling people to reduce the number of steps to checkout by allowing them to buy without exiting social media. Instagram Checkout is the latest feature geared toward making it easier to complete deals. Here's more on this announcement and its potential impact on the ecommerce industry as a whole.
First, What Is Frictionless Ecommerce?
When you hear the word friction, you probably think of resistance. This force can be useful, like using sandpaper to smooth down rough wood. Or this force can be a hindrance, like trying to slide a piece of heavy furniture across the floor. In ecommerce, friction is undesirable because it means shoppers are meeting resistance when they try to proceed through the sales funnel.
Frictionless ecommerce is something sellers are seeking out because it allows them to "integrate buying opportunities as simply and seamlessly as possible into consumers' everyday activities and natural environments," according to BLM Technologies.
One of these natural environments is social media, an activity in which many users are spending a larger chunk of each day. It only makes sense to try to sell to people there, rather than requiring them to visit a separate website each time they want to browse or buy.
The ethos behind frictionless ecommerce tells us reducing the number of steps it takes to buy products online will motivate more people to stick around for as long as it takes to convert. Less hassle translates into more sales and a better customer experience.
Of course, it's still vitally important to set up a responsive, fully featured online store complete with secure checkout. After all, some people won't use social shopping. Today, leading platforms like Shopify offer free ecommerce website builders to help retailers run their stores. Branching out into frictionless ecommerce in the form of social shopping will help merchants capture even more sales by offering shoppers flexible options.
Building a Trusted Brand and Following Will Still Apply
As you can imagine, with more than a billion active users on the Instagram platform, it's going to get quite competitive when it comes to ecommerce advertising. With that being said, this is where traditional authentic and organic followers and engagement will come into play.
We recently talked about the power and effectiveness of using a tool like Kicksta to automate the audience targeting and engagement process. For ecommerce and online stores, this is one of the best ways to put your Instagram marketing efforts on auto-pilot, which also reaching new audiences daily.
This also leads to better paid advertising and remarketing options as well. Once a user starts following your account, you have a clear indication that they are interested in what you have to offer.
Set up a new Instagram ad campaign that targets your existing followers, then compare the results with your outside targeting and default ad campaigns. We are sure the existing follower audience set will perform much better. You can visit their website here and watch the short video on their homepage to see how the process works.
The Rise of Instagram Checkout in Ecommerce
Instagram is a highly visual platform, allowing brands to connect with users through engaging images, videos and captions. If you're an Instagram user, chances are you know the feeling of seeing something you like and wanting to know more about it — or perhaps even conducting an impulse purchase it on the spot.
Instagram Checkout aims to tap into the marketing prowess of this app by "allowing users to complete product purchases without having to leave the app." It's all of the convenience of online window shopping without even having to go into the store, except people can still get their hands on the product. Plus, after Instagram users enter their payment data once, the app saves it for future purchases. Thus, the purchasing journey remains inside a single app — making it more convenient and tempting for mobile shoppers who follow their favorite brands online.
At the moment, Instagram Checkout is a feature in beta testing available to about 20 top brands. An advanced version will be available to more merchants down the line, which means we all need to prepare for the wider acceptance of social shopping. Once this becomes the standard, online users will crave ultra-convenient experiences.
Instagram Checkout is an exciting new development on the horizon for ecommerce brands, and stores must embrace the move toward frictionless ecommerce to stay competitive.
7 Instagram Features Every Business Needs to Use for Marketing
Instagram is a fun platform for sharing pictures and video. However, as far as it pertains to businesses, it's a lot more than that. For businesses, Instagram is a marketing device and quite an effective one at that.
Are you interested in using Instagram to market your business? Then read on. We're going to teach you about 7 Instagram features which will enhance your business marketing campaigns.
Taking Advantage of Instagram Features When Marketing
A great many of Instagram's features lend themselves to marketing. The best of these features include the following.
1. Stories
Instagram Stories work in the same way as Snapchat Stories, allowing you to post photos and videos for 24 hours before they disappear. Popular among all types of Instagrammers, they are frequently viewed and are great for attracting new followers.
Businesses have two options when it comes to using Instagram Story video: 1. They can post stories on their own Instagram pages, or 2. They can use Instagram Stories Ads. While the first option will provide some exposure for your business, the second option will provide more.
Why? Because it involves placing ads for your business in between the stories of Instagrammers that you don't even know. As a result, you'll be reaching customers who are entirely unfamiliar with your brand.
While Stories Ads cost money to post, they often end up bringing in more money than they cost. In other words, they're usually worth a try.
2. Push Notifications
Another terrific feature for marketing on Instagram is the push notification. These are notifications which automatically send to specific followers upon the publishing of new posts. They work to keep top followers invested in your page.
Note, however, that getting followers to accept push notifications can be challenging. Unless your content is undeniably great, you're going to have to be a little aggressive in getting followers to accept push notifications for your page.
One of the keys to doing this is to utilize calls to action. Simply telling visitors to enable push notifications for your page can be quite effective.
The other key is to post great content on a consistent basis while keeping non-value content to a minimum. The more valuable the content you post, the more valuable your page becomes, and the more your followers will want to frequent it. This leads to the enabling of push notifications which, in turn, leads to the conversion of more sales.
3. Geotagging
If you run a brick-and-mortar business, geotagging is a hugely valuable Instagram feature to utilize. By geotagging the photos you post, you make your business more visible on geographical searches. This is a great way to attract Instagram users who live in the geographical proximity of your business.
Note, however, that you must always be cognizant of whether you have geotagging turned on. If you're not careful, you could accidentally geotag a photo or video that you wished to leave geographically anonymous.
4. Live Video
One of the best ways to build credibility and authenticity with your Instagram followers is by utilizing live video. Live video occurs in real-time, allowing you to communicate directly with your followers through page comments and voice.
Afraid that you might say something embarrassing? It won't last for long. Instagram live videos disappear as soon as they're done being broadcasted, ensuring that your faux pas isn't picked apart by the masses.
You can use Live Video to discuss project updates, to show off new products, to showcase charitable efforts, and more. It's all about making yourself and your business more familiar to your followers.
5. Photo Filters
A big part of marketing is building a brand. The goal is to evoke a feeling which is representative of your business. In evoking this feeling, you make your business instantly identifiable among the masses. Photo filters are also great for social profile branding. Take a look at these top brands that are doing social media profile branding correctly, then also consider how you can implement these same visuals into your own branding efforts.
There are a number of ways to do this on Instagram, but one of the most effective ways is through the use of photo filters. Using the same photo filters on all of your posts will provide your Instagram page with an overarching theme. This theme will become part of your brand and will help followers to identify your business.
Our advice is to experiment with different filters until you've found something you like. Then, once it's established, you can hit your followers over the head with it.
6. Hashtags
When it comes to using Instagram for marketing purposes, it's impossible to overstate the importance of hashtags. Hashtags are not only vital in building a brand, but in attracting non-followers as well.
Dropping trending hashtags into your posts is a great way to bring your Instagram page into the loop. Not only does it show that you're part of the culture, but that your page might be worth visiting.
There are also many other famous hashtags too like;
#iphonesia
#igers
In short, hashtags increase exposure for your business. The more exposure your business gets, the more sales it will convert.
7. Emoji Polls
One last Instagram feature you should consider using is Emoji Polls. These allow you to ask questions and receive direct feedback from your many followers, increasing familiarity among potential customers and allowing potential customers to feel as though their thoughts have an impact on the operation of your business.
One way to use Emoji Polls as a business is to ask followers how they feel about a specific product. However, you don't need to strictly talk about your business. Inquiries about current events could get followers involved as well.

Many have been waiting to see comic legend Richard Pryor immortalized on film. However, several road blocks threaten to stop that from happening. First, there was an issue with the director's choice of casting. And now, Pryor's son is taking legal action against his stepmother in an attempt to keep her from making the biopic.
According to TMZ, Richard Pryor Jr. claims that his stepmother, Jennifer Lee Pryor, tricked his father into signing over the rights to his name while he was dying and mentally debilitated. Therefore, in an effort to prevent her from moving forward with the production of the film, Pryor Jr. has fired off a cease and desist letter.
Though the document is not very specific about Jennifer Lee Pryor's alleged plans, it states that she is using "illegal, fraudulent" activity to obtain the rights to the Lee Daniels-directed film.
Confirming Pryor Jr.'s claims, his attorney states that her client believes Pryor was indeed in poor mental and physical health at the time, making him unfit to adequately and capably sign over the rights in 2005.
This all comes after Pryor Jr. vocally expressed his support of Nick Cannon's casting in the biopic, contrary to his initial belief. He most recently said to the Huffington Post, "I am actually excited about it now. He changed my mind by how he is delving into it."
Richard Pryor died in December of 2005.

Q: Have background service running on React I am working on a file upload system using react-dropzone. I can successfully upload a file and display the file name and size underneath the drag/drop div.

I have been trying, with great failure, to get the drag/drop area to run in the background once there are files being displayed. But I cannot do this. I know it can be done as this is how Dropbox, Google Drive and pretty much every other file uploading site works. What is the best way to achieve this?
Here is my work is done so far;
FileUploader container
onFileUploader = ( files ) => {
    files.forEach(file => {

So far, I have tried hiding the element, but that seems to disable it too. I have also tried adding the prop preventDropOnDocument to the Dropzone component but that did nothing.

Only one Palestinian cause
Strangulating Hamas in Gaza might force it to just bomb Israelis. That old dynamic must be avoided.
A 72-hour civil war last week left the nascent state of Palestine cut in two. A secular regime now rules in the West Bank; a Muslim one in Gaza. Eventually the two warring sides will realize they can never create a country for all Palestinians on their own. But when?
Palestinians everywhere still deserve a unified, independent state. The Middle East, too, deserves to see one created simply to remove the Palestinian diaspora as a reason for strife and terrorism.
Just how Fatah in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza someday reconcile will depend much on the actions of various nations, from Iran to the US, that have fingers in this newly divided pie.
The last outside force to reconcile Hamas and Fatah was Saudi Arabia, in March. It is itself ruled by a largely secular regime that made accommodation with powerful Islamists. Saudi money, too, goes far in the region, and lately to counter Iran's noxious influence.
For a few months, the Saudis were able to patch together a Palestinian government torn over the issue of who controls the security forces. Fatah holds the presidency while Hamas ruled parliament after last year's elections. But when President Mahmoud Abbas recently put an anti-Hamas associate as head of all security forces, Hamas decided to remove Fatah from its stronghold in Gaza. Its quick victory, against a Fatah force supplied with American weapons, will resonate in the Middle East for some time.
But it's a Pyrrhic victory. A religious party bent on destroying Israel can't long ignore the Palestinians' acceptance of the necessity for a two-state solution with Israel. And the new ad hoc regime in Gaza can't survive in the tiny, isolated strip without Israel and Egypt allowing aid and trade across the borders to feed about 1.5 million residents.
Economic strangulation of Gaza, which may tempt Israel, would only force Hamas to shoot rockets at Israeli civilians, hoping to evoke an Israeli incursion into Gaza and then win wide Middle East support. That old dynamic must be avoided.
Israel may also try to quickly negotiate a deal with Mr. Abbas to create a West-Bank-only Palestinian state, one to be well funded with aid. But that route ignores the possibility of Islamists in the West Bank resorting to suicide bombings.
In the 1993 Oslo Accords, Israel agreed to treat the West Bank and Gaza as "a single territorial unit." That logic still makes sense today. And Abbas can't claim to represent all Palestinians if he achieves only a partial state.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert should use this opportunity to fulfill his 2006 election promise to pull more Israeli settlers out of the occupied West Bank. Such an action would show Palestinians they can win more concessions.
But it is really Hamas that must change most of all. It now acts as a proxy for Iran in attacking Israel. And even though it was fairly elected to power, that vote was due largely to Palestinian unhappiness at Fatah's corruption, not as a vote for radical Islam. Its support of bombings against civilians reveals an antidemocracy ideology.
Arab leaders and Israel have a joint interest to not further fracture the Palestinian state. Together they can bring the sides together, and perhaps in the process, make further peace between themselves.
Briefing: Palestinian factions agree to reconcile
Focus Abbas is old, Hamas divided: Who will lead Palestinians?
Palestinian reconciliation? What's driving Hamas and Fatah this time.


According to the A4AI 2017 Affordability Report, 2017 marks a globally significant annual milestone: • 50% global internet penetration • The Report says: Though internet access has become a daily expectation for many, this will mark the first time that the scales have tipped toward more of the world being connected than not. But for the half of the world that remains offline — mostly women in developing countries — this means being left even further behind as the digital revolution steams ahead. Though broadband prices are coming down, they simply aren't falling fast enough, leaving low income earners and other marginalised populations unable to afford even a basic connection.
A 2017 report by The United Nations Broadband Commission Working Group on Digital Gender Divide states: Policy and practical initiatives to address different barriers to gender equality in Internet access have increased in scope and number since the Broadband Commission's 2013 Working Group on Broadband and Gender published its report and policy recommendations on the subject. Yet the gender digital divide remains. Indeed, the International Telecommunications Union's (ITU) most recent estimate indicates that the global Internet user gender gap has grown from 11% in 2013 to 12% in 2016. Today, Internet penetration rates remain higher for men than women in all regions in the world, with the estimated gap between men and women being particularly substantial in Least Developed Countries.
RADIO IN THE DIGITAL ERA IS FAR FROM DEAD. VIVA RADIO, VIVA!
In the face of the Internet and social media it is easy to lose sight of the fact that most South Africans still get their news and information from the most widely available technology platform in the country – radio. The top South African radio stations regularly draw listeners in the millions, and research indicates that the average South African radio listener tunes in for over four hours a day.
WannaCry, the malware that emerged early in May demanding a ransom for freeing locked up computers, has spread chaos around the globe and has also taken its toll locally, in South Africa. The ransomware was slowed down by a security analyst last week after he discovered a kill switch in its code, but the malware has since been updated without the kill switch and WannaCry has now reached more than 150 countries and 200,000 computers, shutting down hospitals, universities, warehouses and banks, particularly in Europe.
MIT GLOBAL STARTUP LABS PROGRAMME HEADS FOR SA The Johannesburg-based University of Witwatersrand (Wits) has partnered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sloan School of Management to open applications for teams interested in participating in the MIT Global Startup Labs Programme. The programme, for which applications are open until May 24, will take place at Tshimologong, Wits University's digital innovation precinct, on 24-29 June 2017.
THERE IS A MAJOR SECURITY FLAW IN CELLULAR NETWORKS – ARE WE SITTING DUCKS?
By exploiting the security weaknesses in a set of protocols called Signalling System 7 (SS7) in the worldwide mobile phone network infrastructure, cyber criminals can intercept SMSs and clean out a person's bank account through Internet banking fraud. Hackers can read text messages, listen to phone calls and track mobile phone user locations with just the knowledge of their phone number. This is the latest example of why SMS is no longer considered to be a safe authentication method for banking.
Preparing the Region for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Trends in the shift to an information society and the impact of global digitisation demonstrate that competitive service delivery within the confines of an outdated structure renders it impossible for business, education, government or nation states to operate in the national best interest.
What is fintech and why is it key to the South African economy?
Fintech refers to a new emerging financial technology sector focusing on delivering better, more innovative products and services than traditional financial institutions, and by reducing costs to the consumer. For example, financial institutions are becoming more technology focused. At the same time, big tech companies are offering peer-to-peer payment solutions over social networks and email. Meanwhile, disruptors are providing financial services that, until recently, you could get only from banks or financial advisors.

'Horse' is a melting pot of skewed analogue electronica and earthy funk with an equestrian twist.
Is this factor integral to your appreciation of this album? Horse feathers! The theme came to fruition at an early stage, a literal interpretation of a lolloping percussive gait but it's horses for courses for the aural experience - an appreciation of equine arts is not crucial - these tracks tell a multitude of stories for a myriad of possible themes. Melding spaced out blues, funky folk and galloping grooves for wide open spaces this is music to move to, speeding through the dusty light of grand canyons and in and out of small-town tales from the original pioneers.
Whether your Mustang has four hooves or four wheels it's an aural escape from the urban sprawl, running a rural route that heads off the beaten track at the first opportunity. 'Pony Express' and 'The Cobbler' ride a wave of chugging funk, kicking out the beats in their wake as modal synth lines pulse while the double time frenetics of 'Don't Milk Ya Hoss' are tempered with a deliciously languid bass. The live elements punctuate and embellish, Jeremy's delicately distorted solo on 'Black Beauty' bursting out of the traps with sinewy power while Howie's hands-on approach to mixing defies the automation of the machines, teasing layers of sound from the mix before isolating, mutating and extinguishing.


This is the story of a brand of glasses that starts, as it could not be otherwise, with Marcelo and Ivan's glasses.Marcelo has always wanted glasses that could keep the pace of his life. The normal rhythm of life of someone, who practices sport, an active person, who enters and exits from different scenarios every day. A concrete need to wear glasses every day, which always adapt and for every occasion.
Can you imagine having glasses that fit our pace of life?
One of them is a businessman, with large international projects. The other is an expert in materials, in love with metal from the family legacy. And, of course, they realized that those unbreakable glasses they were talking about could be invented by them.
This is what Marcelo and Ivan always asked each other about.
Thanks to two enterprising men, an illusion and a team of talents who believe in both and in that idea that is less and less utopian and more real.
Roundten sunglasses are essential to protect our retina from the rays of the sun, as well as being a fashion accessory that can touch exorbitant prices. The models, the colors and the materials with which they are made are almost infinite and orienting oneself in the right choice is not always easy.
In fact, in addition to protecting our delicate eyes from dangerous ultraviolet solar rays, their lenses give the wearer a comfort allure combined with a charismatic charm style. Of mystery. The list of this site will allow you to observe and choose the best sunglasses ever!


The Washington Redskins Cheerleaders have had a rich history since their inception in 1962 - they were the first cheerleaders in the NFL. When it comes to fashion over the years, they've been setting trends in the industry by constantly evolving their look!
"When full skirts were in, they moved to a more tailored and athletic look. They were one of the first teams to wear the full body, cat-suit look, and recently they've started a trend of high waist leggings paired with a crop top," said Deb Erickson, Design Director at The Line Up.
The First Ladies of Football are long time friends of The Line Up, going as far back to the 1990's when Donald Wells was the coach. Wells coached the Wizards (formerly the Bullets) at the time, and then moved to the Redskins. One of his former dancers, Stephanie Jojokian, then took over in 2007 and has been coaching the team ever since.
We love how they've been able to innovate their look by mixing and matching timeless designs and keeping their pieces for years. "It's hard to keep up with what they have in their wardrobe!" said Deb.
See more of their fabulous style, below!

Continuing MetLife's "What I Wish I Knew" series, Brittany Daniels shares her unique post-graduate experience in hopes that it will inspire recent grads as they forge their own professional paths. Brittany has been with MetLife for five years and is a Supplemental Health Product Consultant for MetLife Group Benefits. She supports the Dental Product team in the development of new products as well as enhancing the features of existing products.
I was born in Milwaukee, Brittany as brought up in a family with education as a priority. In high school, she teetered between going to college for marketing with a minor in information software management or following in her mother's footsteps as a teacher. However, forging her own path, she graduated from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. It's Brittany's passion for helping others that continues to drive her professional career.
What did Brittany picture herself doing after college?
Brittany always thought she would go to graduate school to study industrial and organizational psychology or counseling after college. But when her father asked her to consider MetLife job openings in Charlotte, North Carolina, she thought it could be a great way to gain corporate experience and figure out what she wanted to do next.
"To this day I am grateful that my father recommended I apply for the position because I've been fortunate enough to work with some really incredible people and I feel that I learn something new every day," says Brittany. "Going to grad school is something that I still keep in mind as I plan for the future."
What did Brittany wish she knew when she first started out?
Aside from babysitting jobs she had as a teenager, Brittany was a waitress in high school and feels it was one of the best experiences of her life because it taught her so much about customer service, financial responsibility and time management — all of which were skills that prepared her for her first job at MetLife as a Case Manager. However, in the early stages of her professional career, Brittany states that "I wish I had taken more opportunities to job shadow — there's no better way to learn about a different role or department."
These days, Brittany admires leaders that inspire their team to go above and beyond their daily duties. "It's motivating to have a leader that challenges their associates to bring new ideas that go against the status quo," says Brittany. "From my experience as a team lead, I've found that encouraging my team to execute their daily tasks in new ways has helped to build morale and pride in their work."
How does Brittany approach networking and career growth?
I network when I'm working on a business initiative with other departments or while participating in our Diversity & Inclusion groups — I see it as an opportunity to build comradery with people that are not on my core team.
I've also found that changes in organizations can create networking opportunities — if I see that someone in my network has accepted a new position, I make a point of talking to them about their new role.
It's also important to remember that my skills are valuable, so I actively volunteer to help with new associate trainings and mentoring opportunities, that way I can meet people and form mutually beneficial relationships.
Taking advantage of MetLife's various online and on-site learning programs, Brittany reaches out to people who are highly skilled in certain software programs or have experience working in an area of interest for her, "you'd be surprised at some of the cool tricks you can do in Excel."
Over the years, Brittany has asked her mentors the about the critical do's and don'ts for starting a career on the right track. "They all said it's important to learn about your job, your objectives, the direction of the company and how you fit into that picture. Once you understand your purpose in an organization and the role of each department, you can then begin to contribute towards your company's success."
To join talented women like Brittany. For career opportunities with a truly global and progressive employer, search and apply for jobs with MetLife today.

Bradley Manning, the source of one of WikiLeak's largest disclosures of U.S. secrets, was found guilty of espionage, theft and fraud but not of aiding the enemy, which could have carried with it a life sentence. Despite that finding, Manning could still face 136 years in prison for the other convictions.
Background: Manning (now 25) was detained in Iraq for suspicion of having leaked the video of a 2007 Apache helicopter attack that killed several Iraqi civilians. He was subsequently charged in relation to the November 2010 leak of what may be the most extensive leak of classified information in U.S. history (nearly three-quarter million documents to WikiLeaks). He asserts the leak was intended to "spark a conversation about foreign policy" and show the "true cost of war".

Q: Add variables to external script I have this script tag:

it shows a search box as shown here:

When i press "Cerca" a page with the results opens. I would like to filter those results with this variable:
?facilities=8

If i write the variable in the url of the newly opened page it works:
http://www.booking.tripfordog.com/Place/Cagliari_1.htm?facilities=8
the results are filtered.
The problem is that i would like the filter to be applied before opening the page so that the box always shows results that have the filter applied.
I wonder if this is even possible


Reimbursements to an organisation's employees, agents, partners and officers are not creditable acquisitions under Division 11 of the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (the 'Act'), unless the relevant person is acting as an agent in making the acquisition. The organisation would therefore not be entitled to an input tax credit for such reimbursements. In some situations the organisation may reimburse the expenses of a person that were not incurred by the person whilst acting as an agent.
For example, if the person acting as agent acquires something for the organisation, that acquisition is effectively made by the organisation, and could therefore be a creditable acquisition. However, if the person, on his or her own behalf, incurs, for example, petrol expenses, in making that acquisition, and the organisation reimburses him or her for those expenses, the organisation has not made an acquisition. The organisation would therefore not be entitled to an input tax credit in relation to such a reimbursement.
Division 111 of the Act covers an organisation's entitlement to claim input tax credits where it reimburses an employee, agent, officer, partner or volunteer for expenses they incur in connection with carrying on the organisation's enterprise.
Where a GST registered endorsed charity, a gift-deductible entity (GDE) or a government school reimburses an individual for an expense he or she incurs that is directly related to their activities as a volunteer of that organisation, the organisation will be entitled to claim the input tax credits on these acquisitions.
To enable the organisation to claim the input tax credit, the volunteer will need to provide the organisation with the tax invoice for the acquisition they have made.
Where volunteers of organisations that are not endorsed charities, gift-deductible entities or government schools are reimbursed for expenses they incur in carrying out their activities as volunteers, the organisation will have no entitlement to claim the input tax credits. This will affect organisations such as sporting clubs and other non-profit organisations.
A non-profit organisation is entitled to an input tax credit where it makes a creditable acquisition. For example, an organisation may make a creditable acquisition where it purchases uniforms and provides the uniforms to its volunteers. However, the non-profit organisation would not be entitled to an input tax credit where it reimbursed the volunteer for cost of the uniform.
Note that if the organisation acquires something through an agent who was acting on its behalf in making the acquisition, the organisation is making that acquisition. The consideration an organisation pays through the agent for that acquisition is covered by the general rules about creditable acquisitions, not by Division 111.
For more general information on GST and volunteers please refer to the fact sheet Volunteers and tax (NAT 4612).
When can you claim the input tax credit?
Your employee incurred the expense in activities directly related to their employment or the reimbursement constitutes an expense payment benefit for FBT purposes.
GST was payable when the employee incurred the expense.
The employee is not entitled to an input tax credit for the expense you are reimbursing.
The expense is not listed as a non-deductible expense.
You can claim the input tax credit where you reimburse an employee but not where you pay an employee an allowance.
You make a reimbursement when you compensate an employee an exact amount for a specific purpose. If you reimburse an employee for a proportion of a purchase it may also be considered a reimbursement.
You can reimburse an employee for an expense they have incurred but not yet paid for. For example, you may reimburse an employee for a credit card purchase before they have paid their bill.
If you provide an employee with money for expenses they have not yet incurred, and the employee has to repay you any amount they do not use, you are considered to be reimbursing the employee.
Which reimbursements can you claim for?
You are only entitled to an input tax credit where you reimburse an employee for an expense that is directly related to their duties as an employee or the reimbursement constitutes an expense payment benefit for FBT purposes.
Helen employs Lee in her small software consultancy in Melbourne. She asks Lee to attend a business conference in Brisbane.
Helen tells Lee that she will cover his expenses up to a maximum of $500. He will have to provide tax invoices for expenses of $82.50 or more, and receipts for expenses of less than $82.50.
Helen has reimbursed Lee's expenses, so she is entitled to claim an input tax credit for any GST included in the price of the goods and services he paid for.
If you pay an employee an amount to cover an estimated expense, and the employee does not have to repay any amount they do not spend, you are generally paying an allowance.
Helen asks Lee to go to Brisbane to attend another conference. This time she pays him a travel allowance of $450.
Helen does not ask Lee to keep any receipts, but when he returns he gives her tax invoices for $350. He does not have to repay any of the $450 that he did not spend.
Helen has not reimbursed Lee's expenses. She has paid him an allowance. She is not entitled to an input tax credit for his expenses, regardless of the tax invoices she asked him to provide.
What if an employee spends more than their allowance?
If the employee spends more than their allowance they have been given, and the employer pays the employee the amount they have overspent, the whole payment is still considered an allowance. This applies even if the employee is required to account for the extra expenditure with receipts or tax invoices.
Helen asks her employee Linda to go to Sydney for a conference. She pays Linda a travel allowance of $450. Linda will not need to repay any of the allowance that she does not spend but she will have to provide receipts for her expenses. Helen tells Linda that she will top up the allowance if she needs to spend more than $450.
When she returns, Linda gives Helen tax invoices for $550 and Helen pays her an additional $100.
The whole $550 ($450 plus the additional $100) is an allowance. Helen is not entitled to any input tax credit in relation to Linda's expenses.
What about payment for notional expenses?
If you make a payment to an employee based on a notional (rather than actual) expenses, you are not making a reimbursement.
For example, if you make 'a cents per kilometre' payment to cover work-related use of an employee's private car, you are paying an allowance, not making a reimbursement. You are not entitled to claim an input tax credit.
Syd uses his car on a regular basis for work purposes. His employer, Mel, requires Syd to keep a record and pays him a monthly amount based on the engine size of Syd's car and the number of kilometres he travel for work purposes.
Mel is not making a reimbursement and is not entitled to an input tax credit.

Hard to Forecast Greek Election Result Amid People's Dismay at Politics
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The majority of Greeks share the idea that their country should stay in the eurozone, CEO of MRB pollster Dimitris Mavros told Sputnik.
"I think the Greeks continue not to be ready to exit the eurozone. The first data on the answers to this question [whether Greeks want to leave the eurozone or not] show that the percentage of the Greeks, who keep thinking that they should stay with the euro, is still very high," Mavros said.
In May, a poll conducted by ICM Research exclusively for Sputnik revealed that 58 percent of Greeks polled would like to keep the euro.
Germany "Saves" the Euro by Humiliating Greece
13 July 2015, 12:01 GMT
The Greek central bank has said that the country would have to leave the eurozone if unable to secure a bailout agreement with its lenders to restructure its multibillion debt. Following months of talks, the Greek government and its creditors approved the third bailout deal in exchange for austerity reforms.
Earlier this month, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras announced his resignation to pave the way for early elections in a bid to secure popular support for his position on the bailout agreement.

Thank you to those residents that offer testimonials about their experience living at Living Choice Alloura Waters retirement village. We value what our residents have to say, and the Living Choice team work hard to ensure that we are exceeding resident expectations.
We would strongly recommend moving in. From the day we put a deposit on our villa about a year ago, even before we had a buyer for our house, we felt we had support and friendship from all the staff at the village.
Our concern had been "how would we like retirement village life". We soon realised that Alloura Waters afforded us all that we needed and more to feel part of a caring community. A nurse and medical help are only a push of a button away and garden maintenance and other maintenance is always available. We feel that it wouldn't be quite as good at other villages. We wouldn't have live-in management; an amazing number of residents with great abilities who give their time freely to liaise with management on our behalf; a beautiful swimming pool; numerous activity groups; and ideal situation for flat, easy (or long if you want it) walks to the water and the beautiful scenery etc. And not many have a club adjacent to a village (with gates for a short cut to the entrance) where good meals are readily available.
It takes time to remember residents' names but we haven't come across one that wouldn't wave or greet us. This attitude seems to extend to Davistown itself – as we stroll down to the water's edge we are greeted kindly by young and old. We are very pleased we made the decision to move into to Alloura Waters.
As financial director of a major international company I've lived all around the world, yet Alloura Waters is the most beautiful place I've ever lived. I'm very happy here – living on the waterfront, and close to beaches and excellent shopping, and I enjoy not having to do all the maintenance. I still travel and the security aspect of the village is great; I like to know my home will be safe when I'm away.
If you're interested in our Davistown retirement village, our friendly sales team can assist in showing you the wonderful facilities and properties on offer.


Signboards at the border crossing now have markings in Urdu, English, and Hindi.
While the relaxed visa regime may have been put on hold by India, Pakistan has stepped up measures to make the border crossing at Wagah easier by incorporating the Hindi script in them, The Hindu reported on Friday.
Both countries had approved relaxed visa regimes last year which would have allowed Pakistani businessmen to travel to up to five cities with relaxed provisions for the mandatory police reporting. Furthermore visitors over the age of 65 would be able to get a 45 day on arrival visa.
The new visa regime was suspended a day before it came into effect in January following clashes along the Line of Control.
Signs at the border checkpost have now been marked out in three languages: English, Urdu and Hindi.
Among those sign boards sporting the Hindi script include 'Green Channel', 'Red Channel', 'Immigration', 'toilets', 'drinking water fountain', 'Customs' and 'waiting hall'.
An official told The Hindu that they had used Google Translate to translate signs into the Devanagri script.
New agreement allows Pakistanis over 65 to arrive at Wagah border, apply for a single-entry Indian visa.
In Jaipur they refused to register us, saying Delhi was mentioned first in visa so we must register in Delhi first.
Businessmen hope items traded through integrated checkpost will be increased.
… Hindi and Urdu markings (not just Hindi)…. !!
Oh no! How stupid is that?!! Google translate is not at all accurate. Couldn't they afford to hire a translator?
urdu was already there. don't put comments just for the sake of it.
Couldn't they afford to hire a translator?
From where? Is any Hindu left in Pakistani Punjab?
I think its a step in the right direction. The cold looks between the two countries seem to have thawed a bit. When will they open up all the Hindu temples and places of tourist interest like palaces etc., I am dying to visit Pak .I can visit today too but then who will provide me security.
I think its a step in the right direction.Both countries should open up places of common interest like religious places/ palaces etc., That will thaw relationships a bit more .
Grow up. Hindi is not only spoken by Hindus.
Many Muslim Indians can not read Urdu. They can read Devnagari.
Indian consulate or embassy would be a good source. I am sure they could put them in touch with a reputable translator they could work with either in person or via the net.
Dont be ridiculous. Hindi is not just the language of Hindus. There are many people in Pakistan who still read and write Devanagri. I have relatives in my family who can read and write Hindi. Its hard to imagine that Pakistan would have nobody fluent in Hindi. Using google translate is just a sign of laziness and incompetence, two things that every Pakistani has come to expect of your lovely democratic government.
Many Hindus in Pakistan. Try to visit Sindh. Even Muhajirs in Karachi can read/write Hindi.
Newsflash! Hindi script seen in Pakistan for first time since 1947…LOL. What's the big deal, countries put signs in other languages at their border crossings all the time. But then I forget, these are no ordinary two countries.
Dear ET, I read the news in 'The Hindu' on the very day it was published. Then I checked Pakistani websites,nowhere was it reported. Now only you have come up with it and that too by making reference to 'The Hindu' which is an Indian newspaper. This is something that happened in Pakistani territory – Why can't your guys be more proactive in presenting the world (including India), the softer side of Pakistanis. Ever heard of law of attraction?
It is a sad state of affairs when a nation of 180 million people with Vedic roots does not have a Hindi scholar This is an indictment on the deterioration of the educational system in Pakistan. I wonder if LUMS has a languages department where they teach Hindi and other South Asian languages.
@Umer: Hindus in Pakistn never spoke Hindi. They were mostly Sindhis and a few Punjabis. They can understand but writing and reading is a diff thing.
I must say that's a nice joke!
My great grandfather taught Sanskrit at Lahore University just 80 years ago in 1930-ties.
The demographic, cultural etc changes that has taken place in Pakistan in the last 70 years are without any precedence .
@Umer: There are plenty of bilingual people in India that can read and write in both Urdu and Hindi. IF this simple service had been requested, I am sure Indian foreign ministry would have been happy to oblige.
not all indians can read or write hindi.
they didnt need to go very far, could have quietly sneaked over the border and had some indian official translate before jumping back on to your own turrf.
Come oN yaar – hindi ki baat ho rahi hain aur apne apka ocean sey deep friend China ko yaha bhi import kara diya ?
Urdu is nothing but Hindi with a few Farsi and Tukhi nouns written in Arabic script. I wonder when Pakistan will speak in their NATIVE languages rather than simply emulate India, Iran and Arabs.

Community Recovery of a Watershed in Times of Perpetuated Conflict and Transition
This is a guest blog post by Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Environmental Humanities Kristina Lyons, on the public environmental humanities work that forms an integral part of her ethnographic practice. Dr. Lyons and Fundación ItarKa have recently been awarded a grant from the PPEH Teaching and Research Seed Fund to continue this work in 2019.
How might the reconstruction of the ecological or biocultural memory of war shift understandings and practices of truth, restitution, and justice? In what ways are rural communities that have been engulfed by years of social and armed conflict attempting to make peace with and from territories that have been the epicenters of violence?
These are some of the concerns guiding a project on which I have begun to work on in the Colombian Amazon two years after a peace accord was signed between the national government and FARC-EP guerrillas to end over fifty years of war. This project in Puerto Guzman, Putumayo, developed in collaboration with non-profit environmental education and participatory research organization, Fundación ItarKa, intends to support the community governance, recovery, and conservation of the Mandur River watershed. The watershed is contaminated by illegal gold mining and has been impacted by heavy deforestation connected to the cultivation of illicit coca crops and intensified cattle ranching in the country's western Amazon. These economic activities are tied to histories of colonization, internal displacement, poverty, narcotrafficking, and the presence of armed groups. War is never a human-only experienced phenomenon, and it is the rupture and tentative repair of socioecological relations or continuums of human and nonhuman life that is at stake as local communities imagine how to build a viable peace from war-torn territories. Inspired by popular movements that place "nature" at the core of Colombia's transitional justice scenario, we ask how the reconstruction of the environmental memory of the Mandur River might contribute to community dialogues to resolve ongoing conflicts that have led to the degradation and continue to create obstacles for the recovery of the watershed.

Since March 2018, with Fundación ItarKa in Puerto Guzmán, we organized a series of workshops with rural communities that had never engaged in such a collective oral and written exercise. The workshops included drawing a timeline of important events in the memory of the community and engaging in a comparative diagnostic of the flora and fauna as remembered when residents first migrated or were born in the area, and the flora and fauna that currently exist. The act of collectively remembering the quantity of fish that used to inhabit the river, the number of wetlands and the quality of the water, the hectares of primary forest or the way trees lined and covered the riverbanks so thickly that they needed to be trimmed back to render the river navigable, opens up the possibility for the articulation of affective attachments that transcend understandings of the river as simply a "natural resource" or "water source." People begin to share the reasons why they settled in the Mandur: fishing, bathing, mobility, beauty, paseos de olla, the cooler microclimates of the forested riverbanks, the wild animals they hunted and shared the territory with, and the access to water.
During the workshops, we invited downstream communities to imagine what would occur if the river's course was inverse, flowing from the deforested Amazonian plains towards the forested Andean foothills. One of the conclusions that resulted is that there would be no water flowing at all. Another question that we posed to downstream residents is whether or not they consider repressive mechanisms to have been effective in dealing with their illicit coca crops. How had they felt living under the gun of the counternarcotic police over the past four decades? How would militarizing the territory, be it to end medium-scale mining livelihoods in the upper watershed or to curb their own deforestation downstream, in official times of peace be different than the criminalizing tactics of the War on Drugs?
A diagnostic of the problems and initial proposals for the recovery of the Mandur River at the first of four community dialogues between social leaders of the upper, middle, and lower watershed. Puerto Guzmán, October 2018. Photograph by the author.
These workshops created the conditions that enabled us to organize four community dialogues with social leaders of the upper, middle, and lower watershed to begin to analyze and pose community-based solutions to the degradation of the Mandur. We also collaborated with several artists to produce drawings of the environmental memories articulated in the workshops and to design pop up books for use as popular education materials in local schools and community centers. What might change if reconciliation and transitional justice processes attended to human and infrastructural loss as integrally bound up with the losses experienced by watersheds? How might affective attachments to the territories of rivers orient conflict resolution strategies between communities that continue to be mired in violence during official times of peace? What might reconciliation look like when the right to work (of miners, for example) appears to clash with the right to water of downstream communities?
These are some of the ethnographically informed questions that we aspire to address in the next stages of the project as we continue to accompany rural communities in the recovery and conservation of a heavily disputed and increasingly militarized watershed in Putumayo. We will continue this work in 2019 with the generous support of a PPEH Research and Teaching Seed Fund Award.
