Sketches depicting Tiberius Caesar
Throughout the life of Jesus, Tiberius was the Emperor of Rome. He was the second Roman Emperor, after Augustus who died in 14 AD.
Augustus was not Tiberius' true father, he was the son of Augustus' wife Livia, by her first husband. Tiberius was in power when Jesus was crucified. Tiberius died in 37 AD. The coin above was from a denarius which contained the image of Tiberius on it. The inscription calls him the divine son of Augustus Caesar, detestable to a Jew.
It is not known whether Tiberius had heard of Jesus, or knew about the crucifixion of Jesus. Word about Jesus and his miracles spread quickly throughout the Roman Empire, even to the Imperial Palace on Palatine Hill, but Tiberius had retired to his palace on the Island of Capri in 26 A.D. while all sorts of corruption was happening in Rome. He left Sejanus in charge of Rome who eventually betrayed him and was later tried by the Senate upon orders by Tiberius, and then executed. Meanwhile there were many rumors about Tiberius Caesar on Capri involving homosexuality and sexual perversity with young boys, which included all sorts of inhumane cruelty. In this picture it shows the "Tiberius Leap" (Salto di Tiberio) which is a giant 1000 foot cliff that, according to the historians Suetonius and Tacitus, Tiberius hurled his discarded young sexual conquests and victims into the sea to their deaths for orgasmic pleasure.
"Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness."
- Luke 3:1-2
And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's. And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
"And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away."
Heart Message
A Real Controlling Spirit
A Dreadful Glimpse of Dysfunctional Drama
Sometimes a single snapshot from a different angle might illuminate the kind of dominance contrasted by the humility Jesus exemplified and taught his disciples to live.
In 26 BC Augustus, the first emperor of Rome and step-father of Tiberius became gravely ill and the fear of dying without a successor became a powerful drive. Tiberius as one of the possible heirs to the throne was dominated by his powerful father, who forced him into politics in 24 BC at the age of 17.
Tiberius was also made a general over Roman legions and upon returning to Rome after foreign campaigns in 19 BC he married Vipsania Agrippina, the daughter of Augustus's close friend and great general, Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa. This marriage had been pre-arranged by Augustus before her first birthday. It is reported that Tiberius loved Vipsanius very much.
Previously, in approximately 21 BC, Augustus was somewhat afraid of the rising power of Agrippa and thought to keep him close by forcing a marriage to his daughter Julia. To accomplish this Agrippa was then forced to divorce his wife Marcella to marry his daughter Julia who was 25 years younger at the age of 18. They had five children together.
It doesn't end there… keep following.
In time, General Tiberius was sent to fight in the Alps, returning again to Rome in 13 BC, Agrippa his father-in-law had died, so his father Caesar Augustus forced him to divorce Vipsania, the woman he loved, and marry Julia who was the widow of Agrippa, his father-in-law, and Tiberius's step-sister. Vipsania was abandoned.
Julia was known for her adulteries and her marriage with Tiberius was not happy. They had one child who died in infancy. They did not like each other at all. According to Suetonius, Tiberius ran into Vipsania again and followed her home crying and begging forgiveness. Steps were taken to make sure he would never see her again. Tiberius and Julia were separated around 6 BC.
Could it be that Augustus had some responsibility for the monster that Tiberius turned out to be? Only God knows. But our Lord and Savior calls us not to be controlling over others, but to lead in humility.
"Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him.
"What is it you want?" he asked.
She said, "Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom."
"You don't know what you are asking," Jesus said to them. "Can you drink the cup I am going to drink"
"We can," they answered.
Jesus said to them, "You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father."
When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Matt. 20:20-24

Anushka Sharma's take on cleanliness could have been managed graciously!
There is a strong buzz about Anushka Sharma scolding a person littering on road. Though there are many assumptions with regard to this news and already Twitter has been divided into two halves. As a result, we decided to throw some light on this overall Anushka Sharma news. To be acquainted with this Bollywood news and to understand the whole Virat and Anushka Sharma gossip, we need to start from the very beginning.
Virat and Anushka were on their car and found a man throwing a small packet on the road with which actress Anushka Sharma got very angry and slashed the man. Meanwhile, Virat took the video and has uploaded on his social media account that is Twitter. Let us see the video and understand what happened.
This video posted by cricketer Virat Kohli has been watched by 1.48 million people along with around twenty-one thousand re-tweets. So it is easy to understand that this is a viral one.
Disclaimer: i have no desire to gain any mileage from this post of mine… Horrible! So I happened to carelessly Litter a sq mm of plastic while driving ! A car passing by rolls their window down and there we have our wonderful @anushkasharma ranting and yelling like a crazy roadside person! While I'm apologetic for my carelessness , Mrs Anushka Sharma Kohli a little etiquette and politeness in ur dialogue wouldn't have made u a lesser star !! There are all kinds of manners and hygiene .. verbal etiquette is one of them ! The garbage that mistakenly went out of the window of my "luxury car"… Was way less then the garbage that came out from your mouth… From ur "luxury car's" window… Or the trashy mind @virat.kohli to shoot and post this online… For whatever gains… Now thats some serious trash!!!
Anushka Sharma scolding a man littering on roads has raised a lot of questions and the very important is "whether the situation could have been handled in another way or not"?
Actress Anushka Sharma could have handled the same situation graciously.
Even the video was taken, considering this situation the face of the man should have been made blurred. The reason being the video was posted by our very cricket sensation Virat Kohli on his twitter account with 25.6 million followers.
No one has right to shame a person in such a big platform when the situation could have been handled in an easy way as well.
We do not favour the person littering on road, as it is absolutely wrong and also we are not judging anyone. Rather our effort is just to bring the facts in front of our audience and the same could have handled in another way.
There was a similar situation arisen in past when Mr. Amitabh Bachchan has very politely approached the person and requested not to do so. If he can be so well-mannered and humble then the same could have been followed here as well.
If you feel something is wrong and you are raising your voice; it is rather a very appreciating act but why to show your act in public in such a vast platform?
Littering on roads or doing any such stuff that is making our country dirty is not at all acceptable and is strictly prohibited. Let us all come together and make our country clean but politely and also by learning the basic etiquettes of not throwing even a very tiny packet or sachet outside on road. It is our country and it is our duty to make it clean. Let us make the dream of Swatch Bharat true.
We all are a part of Swatch Bharat Abhiyan. Share your points!


The Patek Philippe Nautilus replica won't look great but probably be highly functional. Presented in a stainless-steel situation, the Patek Philippe Nautilus replica is quickly recognizable around the wrist because of its legendary porthole-formed situation and integrated bracelet. It's billed like a sports watch also it still greatly is incorporated in the traditional sense, however unlike most of the other so-known as 'sports watches' we have seen striking the market nowadays which include various unusual materials and loud palettes, it looks every bit as good having a suit and tie because it does having a polo and shorts.
What really makes the Patek Philippe Nautilus replica new watch appealing may be the mixture of complications it offers. First of all, the characteristics a column-wheel chronograph, having a 60-minute counter proven on the sub-dial at 6 o'clock and central sweep seconds hands. This by itself is certainly not ground-breaking for that Nautilus assortment of course, in the end the already includes a similar chronograph set-up.


The ATO is very upfront when it comes to their compliance activity. Every year they publish small business benchmarks that outline what a typical business 'looks like' in different industries. If your business falls outside of those benchmarks, the ATO is likely to take a closer look at why that is.
Falling outside of the benchmarks might not indicate a tax-related problem.
It might mean that your business has a different business model to the norm or is performing poorly relative to others in the industry.
If your business does fall outside of the benchmark, however, it is important to ensure that the reasons why can be clearly articulated (preferably documented) and the reason for those differences is not tax evasion.
If there is no proof as to why the business is outside of the benchmarks, the ATO is likely to simply apply the benchmark ratio and issue a revised tax assessment.
The benchmarks also provide a useful tool for anyone wanting to understand what is typical in their industry and how they perform against the average. It might also indicate opportunities for improvement and where the business is falling behind its competitors.

The World's Most Remote Film Festival
November 26, 2022 By Faro Laz
Deep in the Algerian desert, a Sahrawi-run event puts Western Sahara's struggle for liberation on the big screen.

Saharawi festivalgoers gather to watch a nighttime FiSahara screening at Auserd refugee camp in the Western Sahara.
By Ariel Sophia Bardi, a freelance writer and photographer based in Rome.
AUSERD REFUGEE CAMP, Algeria—At about 10 p.m., in the middle of the Sahara desert, just two lights were shining: the moon and a projection screen. Around 70 people gathered in front of the screen as a film was beamed onto it from a 16-wheeler truck. Some sat on carpets, rolled out over rocky, reddish sand; others crouched on low dunes. They all watched attentively as a voice boomed from speakers:
"Those who don't know the Sahara think there's nothing here but sand. But in the Sahara is an occupied country. And a people in exile."
It was the second night of the 17th edition of FiSahara, the Western Sahara International Film Festival, held on Oct. 11-16 in the Auserd refugee camp in Algeria's westernmost province of Tindouf, which borders Mauritania, Morocco, and Western Sahara. Auserd—along with four other neighboring camps—formed in the mid-1970s, when Morocco invaded Western Sahara after Spanish decolonization and around 50,000 of the region's Indigenous Sahrawi people fled.
More than 45 years later, Morocco continues to occupy most of Western Sahara. The Polisario Front—the Sahrawi liberation movement—has managed to take back a narrow strip of desert in the east, which forms the self-declared Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. A third of all Sahrawis live as refugees in the five Algerian camps run by the Polisario Front—a grim limbo for a traditionally nomadic community.

Spanish filmmakers created the five-day FiSahara festival in 2003 to raise awareness about the Moroccan occupation of Western Sahara. Though it continues to receive support from partners in Spain, the United States, and Britain, the event is now entirely Sahrawi-run. Foreign attendees, press, filmmakers, performers, and production crews arrive together on a single chartered Air Algérie flight from Madrid. This year, FiSahara screened more than 20 films.
"Culture is something that unites us all. … Through culture, we can tell our story, which of course is also political," said Tiba Chagaf, a Sahrawi filmmaker who directs FiSahara. He was born in Western Sahara but was forced to flee and settle in the camps as a toddler.
"Our people have always moved around," Chagaf told Foreign Policy. "From the moment of the conflict, we've been made to be stuck here. Since then, we've been using every single means at our disposal to be liberated and to become nomadic once again."

In 1975, King Hassan II of Morocco appeared on television and announced the Green March, a mass demonstration to take Western Sahara, then called Spanish Sahara. The resource-rich strip of land had been a Spanish colonial territory since 1884, but Morocco—which had gained independence from France in 1956—claimed its own territorial sovereignty from colonial rule. The International Court of Justice ruled against Morocco's claim in October 1975, prompting Hassan's invasion.
Mohammad Salim, now 73, watched fearfully from his home in Laayoune, the territory's capital. Soon, the Moroccan army started bombing. "I didn't even have time to understand. I just found myself running with a bunch of people I didn't know, just to save myself," he told Foreign Policy.
At the time, the Polisario Front was just 2 years old—an anti-Spanish, pro-independence movement that quickly pivoted to take on Morocco. Salim joined its military regimen and found himself in a gunfight with Moroccan troops near the Algerian border. A bomb dropped, seemingly from nowhere. "We didn't know about planes," Salim said. After a head injury and bout of amnesia, he ended up in Auserd, one of the five new refugee camps.
It was Sahrawi women who built the camps. The men were away, fighting at the front line. In the beginning, "there was nothing at all. Only desert," said Mariam Ahmada, the governor of Smara camp, which is located south of Auserd. Ahmada was 9 years old when her family fled Western Sahara. "Don't count how old I am now," she joked.
Back then, women used traditional shawls to build tents. Everything was made from salvaged materials—still seen in the rusted car doors that serve as enclosures for goats and camels—giving the camps a surreal junkyard ingenuity. Each of the five camps was named for a town or city left behind in Western Sahara: Auserd, Smara, Bojador, Laayoune, and Dakhla.
"Sometimes the refugee situation becomes your new reality. We didn't want our children to forget where they came from," Ahmada said.

Conditions in the camps are harsh. They are frequently pummeled by sandstorms, and summer temperatures can top 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Although each camp has its own school and hospital, diabetes and nutritional problems are rampant. A consortium of nongovernmental organizations warned during FiSahara that 180,000 camp residents face a food crisis amid a reduction in international aid. Algeria supports Sahrawi independence but is not involved in camp administration, which is overseen by the Polisario Front.
This year's FiSahara was the first hosted since 2020, when the 1991 United Nations-brokered cease-fire between Morocco and the Polisario Front ended and the Trump administration recognized Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara in exchange for Morocco normalizing ties with Israel. (U.S. President Joe Biden has yet to reverse this policy and does not seem inclined to do so.) In March, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez followed suit after facing intense pressure from Morocco, which threatened to ease its border controls and let migrants enter the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla in North Africa.
The Sahrawi cause has many advocates in Spain, many of whom blame Spain for not having a clear plan for Sahrawi independence after decolonization. Sahrawis also speak Spanish as a second language and attend Spanish universities in large numbers. Spaniards at FiSahara were quick to note that Sánchez's move doesn't speak for them—or all Spanish officials. "It's a personal decision, not a legal decision, and it doesn't represent all the Spanish parliamentarians," Abdulah Arabi, the Polisario Front's representative in Spain, told Foreign Policy.
Over the past two years, war has flared again along the 1,600-mile Moroccan-built sand wall that separates the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic from Moroccan-controlled Western Sahara, known as the Berm. Riddled with land mines, the Berm is 16 times the size of the Berlin Wall and almost the length of the U.S.-Mexico border. Regional tensions have only broadened the scope of the conflict: Algeria and Morocco severed ties amid escalating border disputes in 2021, and in August Morocco recalled its ambassador to Tunisia after Brahim Ghali, the leader of the Polisario Front, was invited to participate in a conference there.
Talk of the front line filled the festival. "We have seen 16 editions of the FiSahara, and they were completely different from this edition. Why? We are in wartime," said Ghali, who appeared at the film festival. At a press briefing, Ghali called Western Sahara "the last colony in Africa" and recalled a promised U.N.-backed referendum in the 1990s that has never materialized.
"Thirty years of waiting for the U.N. to apply its commitments to the Sahrawis. In the end, they permitted the Moroccan regime to do whatever it wants, and now we are back to war again."

Q: Birational morphism $\mathbb{P}^n \to \mathbb{P}^n$ Let $f: \mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{C}}^n \to \mathbb{P}^n_{\mathbb{C}}$ be a birational morphism.
Question: Is $f$ necessarily an isomorphism?
I know that if $f$ is in addition to the assumptions above finite, then it is in fact an isomorphism. This follows from the fact that then $f$ is flat. Now I wonder whether we can drop the assumption on $f$ being finite.

In a bid to make good on his campaign promise to cut regulation, President Donald Trump has signed executive decrees to roll back key reforms enacted in the wake of the 2007-09 financial crisis.
Trump on Friday initiated action to fulfill one of his core electoral pledges: slashing government regulation. As part of this, the new US president has signed two executive orders asking the Treasury and the Labor Departments to look into ways of reforming rules that were designed to make markets safer and give consumers more protection.
"Today we are signing core principles for regulating the United States financial system," Trump said in the Oval Office as he signed two executive orders.
One order has asked the Treasury Department to identify possible changes to a package of financial reforms - known as Dodd-Frank - enacted in 2010 by President Barack Obama.
Among other things, the legislation created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and required banks to keep more capital on hand to prevent over-leveraging.
Can Europe exploit Trump's protectionism?
Earlier this week during a meeting with business owners, Trump described the Wall Street reform law as "a disaster."
"(We) believe that Dodd-Frank in many respects was a piece of massive government overreach," said a senior administration official on Friday. "It imposed hundreds of new regulations on financial institutions; it established an enormous amount of work and effort for financial firms," the official added. Republicans have made no secret of their dislike for the CFPB.
Any substantial repeal of Dodd-Frank would require congressional action, but with the executive directive, the Trump White House is keen to send a signal that it is ready to slash red tape.
Another presidential order takes aim at the so-called fiduciary rule, which legally obliges financial advisors to act in their clients' best interest. The decree imposed a 180-day delay on the implementation of the rule, according to a draft memo seen by Reuters.
During that time the US Labor Department is to conduct an economic and legal analysis of the regulation and rescind the rule if it is inconsistent with Trump administration priorities, according to the memo, which is not final.
The US Chamber of Commerce and other trade groups are seeking to have the fiduciary rule overturned in court, and a federal judge reviewing the case signaled in a court filing on Thursday that she plans to issue a decision no later than February 10.
Democrats and consumer rights groups say the rule is necessary to protect individuals against potential conflicts of interest that brokers may have when guiding them to invest for the future.
Complying with the rule could cost firms as much as $31 billion over the next decade, according to Labor Department estimates.
The impact of the executive orders remains to be seen. Analysts say Trump could make many changes by appointing new personnel or simply choosing not to enforce rules already enacted.
The German lender has started providing files to New York authorities related to funding of Trump projects. Investigators are interested in Deutsche Bank as it is one of the few banks to lend to the Trump Organization.
House Democrats have subpoenaed the German lender and several other banks as part of a probe into the US president's finances. The investigation seeks information related to possible Russian money laundering.

After the horrible events in Dallas where 5 police officers were killed during an anti-police protest, Rally For L.E.'s founder Nohl Rosen has called for armed members to stand watch over police stations and police officers nationwide in an effort to keep our law enforcement safe.
"We need to ensure that our police officers are able to do their jobs safely and also make it home to their families as well. There's clearly a war that's been declared on police officers in this country and armed citizens need to stand with the members of law enforcement to end it. Rally For L.E. will have the backs of our nation's police officers," Rosen said.
Rally For L.E. is also calling for a nationwide rally in support of law enforcement to show that there are citizens that appreciate the service the men and women in blue provide to us everyday. They deserve our support and our respect. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the police officers that have been killed in Dallas as well as to the Dallas Police Department.

UK coronavirus LIVE: Hopes for summer staycations as nursing leaders slam 'pitiful' pay offer
During a visit to Glasgow Lighthouse Lab, Mr Hancock told reporters: "I've said before that I'm optimistic for a great British summer and I'm now more optimistic about having a great British summer than I have been at any time, thanks to the speed and the effectiveness of the vaccine rollout." Meanwhile, a massive row is brewing as the Royal College of Nursing slammed a proposed 1% pay offer to hard-pressed NHS staff in 2021/22 as "pitiful".

Scientists identify new Covid variant in UK
Scientists have identified 16 cases of a new coronavirus variant in the UK, Public Health England (PHE) has announced. Cases of the variant, referred to as VUI-202102/04, were first identified on February 15 through genomic horizon scanning. PHE said on Thursday that all individuals who tested positive and their contacts have been traced and advised to isolate.
The variant, which is understood to have originated in the UK, was designated a "variant under investigation" (VUI) on February 24. Variants of Covid-19 can be identified as VUIs or "variants of concern" (VOCs).
Royal College of Nursing hits out at 'pitiful' 1% pay offer to NHS staff
The government has published its submission to the NHS pay review body – revealing a proposed pay rise in 2021-22 of one per cent for NHS staff in England. The Royal College of Nursing has dismissed the offer as "pitiful and bitterly disappointing".
UK reports another 242 deaths from the disease
The latest Covid-19 figures have been announced.
Some 6,573 further infections have been reported, with cases dropping by around a third in a week. Another 242 fatalities brings the official UK death toll to 124,025.
Zoo animals given Covid jabs
The San Diego zoo has given nine orangutans an experimental coronavirus vaccine after a troop of gorillas tested positive for the virus but later recovered, according to National Geographic.

Celebrated South African journalist dies with Covid
Tributes have been paid for prominent South African journalist Karima Brown, 54, who died of Covid in hospital earlier today, according to reports from Associated Press.
Her family said in a statement: "We are enormously proud of the fierce determination she had shown, since her early years, to get involved in bringing about a more inclusive, and anti-racist South Africa. "This determination also shaped her fearless approach to journalism. She was driven by a conviction that journalism must be in service of justice."
Downing Street appeals to over 80s to stick to rules even after jab
Downing Street urged people to continue to respect the lockdown after an Office for National Statistics (ONS) survey suggested more than four in 10 over-80s who received a coronavirus vaccine during the current lockdown appear to have since broken the rules.
The Prime Minister's official spokesman said: "It's important that people continue to follow the guidelines that are in place." Asked if the elderly were behaving irresponsibly, the spokesman said: "We are asking everybody to continue to follow the rules and guidelines."

Today it has been the first day at the 2016 ESC in Stockholm. The week of the first rehearsals has started with the first half of the first semi-final. This means that the first nine delegations had their first stage rehearsal, a meet & greet with the journalists and fans and interview opportunities.
The press centre is allocated in "The Hovet" close to the Globe Arena. This building is used for sport events and now it's being used as press centre and the viewing rows are covered with partitions. It all appears a bit small. There are 900 working place for 1550 accredited journalists, which seem a bit too less for the amount of people which are expected in the second week. The fans will be allocated to a special designated area. The second half of "The Hovet" is being used as press conference centre, which is a lot smaller than in previous years. There is free coffee and water provided and some cake in the afternoon.
Compared to previous years the first day was quite busy already, there were many people in the press centre and there was a battle for the interview requests already. Not every delegation had the intention for interviews today e.g. Armenia, Netherlands and Croatia. The entire interview allocation is not very well organized and there are many discrepancies in the running order of the requests.
As previously reported the stage is immense and cannot be catched by the video screens. As the press and fans are not able to follow the rehearsals in the Globe Arena until Thursday. Judged by the first impression, Armenia had the only big applause in the press centre. The show of Iveta was stunning and a very cool trick with Iveta's shadow is being used. Also the Russian singer Sergej made an impressive stage show, maybe a bit over the top. The Croatian singer Nina was wearing a strange outfit on stage, which she should not wear for the live broadcast.
Let's hope that the second day will be smoother than today.


Age: Patrick, 62; Daniel, 49 Type of organization: Food and beverage Involvement: Variety of environmental and social organizations throughout Northeast Ohio In the news: "We've been careful and patient. We don't want to compromise our quality. I'd say that's a good strategy after two decades," said Patrick Conway, regarding the brewery's careful expansion strategy over the last 22 years. The brewery is undergoing a $6 million equipment expansion.


If you want to build a successful business, you need to hire talented, engaged, and committed employees – something that is far easier said than done.
Bad hires aren't always immediately apparent, so it's critical to implement an effective hiring strategy before you start recruiting.
One of the biggest mistakes is not having a diverse slate of candidates, according to Paul Wolfe, senior vice president of human resources at Indeed.
With a diversified workforce, you stand a better chance of attracting different types of people who wouldn't normally apply for positions at your company.
"Donꞌt look for someone exactly like you or the rest of your team — you shouldn't be afraid to bring in someone who will challenge you; an outside perspective is what can help move the needle in your company," Wolfe said.
Ted Karkus, CEO and chairman at ProPhase Labs, noted that employers frequently judge candidates on whether or not they like them, as opposed to matching their strengths with the responsibilities of the position. While you can't know for sure how a new employee will perform once hired, you can mitigate the risk of a bad hire by not factoring first impressions into your decision.
Being misleading or unclear about the job (as well as the skills, traits, etc., the ideal candidate possesses) can lead to a potentially bad hire.
Make a list of the job responsibilities and a corresponding list of the skills, knowledge, experience and talent the person needs to have in order to do those tasks to your expectations. By having a clear idea of what you need, it is easier to see those skills in candidates.
If you don't have a concrete idea of the job's responsibilities and the skills needed to succeed in that position, Hunter added, be up front with candidates. "Explain and prove to them that they'll have the opportunity to progress within the business as the company grows," he said.
One of the most critical mistakes a company can make is failing to define its hiring policies before beginning an employee search. An unclear policy can confuse the hiring manager and candidates at best, or invite legal troubles at worst, especially when it comes to contract workers and exempt versus nonexempt employees.
Make the selection wisely to pursue business growth while providing a positive work experience for the entire team.
One of the biggest errors you can make is not showcasing your company's style and culture, which can include benefits, salary, perks and flexibility, Wolfe said.
Hunter advised taking time to consider the incentives you can offer employees, and stick to your word.
Additionally, your company's values should align with your workers' ethics, creating a culture that everyone is proud of.
With many companies using platforms like Facebook and Instagram as marketing tools, a weak social media presence can actually hurt your company – and the people in it.
Workers want to feel like they're at a competitive business rather than a dead-end street. To recruit and retain talent, you need to keep up with tech advances.
Avoiding these common and costly mistakes will give you a better chance of establishing long-term working relationships with your new hires. Wishing you the best of luck with your hiring process!

August 1918, no refuge for slackers and aliens
Published by admin on Wed, 08/01/2018 - 9:00am
The war effort was everywhere. There seemed no where you could go to forget it.
Many thought that going to a ball game or movie would take their minds off of it for a while. But that was certainly not true in August of 1918. You took a risk that you might not return home.
In April of 1917 Woodrow Wilson demanded the registration of all German born men, whether they had become citizens or not, in April of 1918 the law included females and children as young as 12.

Looking south, Gardner was here first
Although we think of Braidwood as the city that started the "Coal Rush" in this area, the truth is that Braidwood and Coal City are the late comers to the area. The first of the coal towns was Gardner.
When Illinois became a state most of the population was in the southern part. Our area did not see the first white settler until 20 years later.
The towns on the I&M Canal were the first to prosper, then other towns that had some connection with the Canal started to grow. One of these towns was Wilmington.

Districts swinging toward Republican

President Donald Trump visited an Illinois county last week that was once considered a Democratic Party bastion, but has been slipping away to the Republicans throughout this decade.
Madison County, just across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, has been known for two things for as long as most can remember: Union workers and trial lawyers.

Escaping from the mob, one horse thief's story
It is hard to make a comparison in today's modern life of the importance of the horse in the 19th century, especially in rural areas. Without a horse most could not live. It is no wonder then that a horse thief was considered the worst of the worst. Today's story starts in Lockport and was published on March 30, 1876 in the Joliet Weekly Sun.
We begin the story after the discovery of missing horses by Paddy Miles of Lockport, who roused his neighbors to go after Oliver Davis, the renowned horse thief.

Make a proper classic Manhattan
Ask any die-hard fan of the Manhattan how they take the classic cocktail and they could more than likely describe in detail how they prefer theirs to be made.
The preference of whiskey, the ratio of whiskey to vermouth, and the type of vermouth are among the variables that make the Manhattan one of the most customizable classics.
Do you have a preference? Have you had a proper introduction to the classic Manhattan?
This week we will make the iconic whiskey cocktail and review some of the finer points that separate a Manhattan from a good Manhattan.

Dem dollars to build up party at local level
Published by admin on Mon, 07/23/2018 - 12:17pm
A couple of years ago, a little more than 1,400 voters took Democratic primary ballots in sparsely populated Warren County, which is about an hour west of Peoria. Almost twice that many took Republican ballots.
The Warren County Democratic Central Committee is not exactly a campaign powerhouse. The organization officially opened its PAC with $923.72 in June 2016. By June 30th of this year, the county party reported having $917.72 in the bank. I couldn't find any records showing how that $6 was spent.

Wife murderer jailed, death penalty called for
Shades of Drew Peterson you say? Well, it caused about as much stir in Will County as did the Peterson case. Today we look at a famous Will County crime story, that of the Homer wife murderer, George Henry Jacobs.
In Jacobs own words we know a bit of his life story. He was born in Kindare of Saxony, July 15, 1823. On the 16 of April, 1849 he sailed from Bremen to America, paying $50 in gold for his passage. He was married to Eva Ulrich, Oct. 24, 1853.

The Broadbent House, home away from home
One of the earliest businesses in every early 19th century town was the hotel. And in a town like Braidwood, with new comers arriving with every train, it was even more important.
Pack your bags and get ready for your stay at the Broadbent House, John Broadbent proprietor, the pride of Braidwood.
In 1871 John Broadbent arrived in Braidwood and immediately went into the hotel business. He built it in the latest style and it soon filled to capacity. Of course, being a landlord does have its problems.

Long-forgotten bourbon cocktails
Bourbon is having a bit of a moment right now thanks to the perfect storm that is the classic cocktail revival and a newfound mainstream acceptance of drinking straight bourbon.
In fact, bourbon is currently so trendy that Jim Beam has hired Mila Kunis to be the new face of the brand, a position previously held by "outlaws" such as Kid Rock, Hank Williams Jr. and Dennis Hopper.
Not to be outdone, Wild Turkey has hired Matthew McConaughey to pitch their bourbon to a rapidly changing customer base.
