If you plan to make the most out of your virtual recruiting event, it's best to treat it more like a future employee's orientation into your company than a run of the mill CV collecting opportunity. Some of the most successful Online Career Fairs are the ones that optimize a candidate's journey across the virtual platform. These platforms are mobile-friendly enabling wider reach, facilitate smooth navigation to produce an immersive experience and are intuitive enough to facilitate even the most tech-averse candidates.
It's not hard to see why the most sought-after employers invest so much effort into delivering a great Virtual Career Fair experience. It helps them kill two birds with one stone. They make their organization come across as people-focused thereby bolstering their employer brand and attract infinitely more job applicants which satisfy the end goal.
As with any significant event, building pre-event hype is crucial. Any efforts dedicated to building an audience prior to the event not only ensures a larger event turnout but also contributes favorably towards your employer brand. If you're looking to fill very specific vacancies, try to tap into niche groups on platforms like Meetup and GroupSpaces well before your Virtual Career Fair and participate in conversations to spread the word about your upcoming event and what makes it worth attending.
If, on the other hand, you're looking to reel in a broader and more diverse applicant base, utilize social media to run promotions that are targeted towards your key demographic. Another great alternative is collaborating with social media influencers and bloggers to promote your virtual career fair and benefit from their reach and following.
Display great visuals: Be it through 3-D avatars, great screen transitions, creative virtual booth displays or killer marketing collateral. The more effort you put into making the virtual platform visually resonate with your corporate culture, the stronger employer brand you will cast.
Mirror reality: Some high-caliber platforms let you go as far as mimicking your actual office environment at the digital career fair. If you have a very recognizable office design or a receptionist that everyone is familiar with, having those spaces and avatars replicated in the virtual event can really make the difference in delivering a highly personalized career fair experience to your candidates.
Show around all 360-degrees: Every serious applicant will be interested in knowing where they'd be working. Incorporate a 360-degree tour of your office at the Online Career Fair to provide a comprehensive virtual experience that falls completely in-line with your corporate culture. To get this done, all you need is a high-resolution camera and a virtual tour freeware and you're all set.
To establish your organization as a leader in the industry, including a variety of content formats on your virtual booths and helpdesks. Aim for well-edited and informative videos that shed light on your corporate culture, introduce your departments and showcase the work life there. You can also upload slide decks, infographics, sound bites and short blog articles to keep the candidates intrigued about the work environment that they will be exposed to. Read more about ways of defining a compelling Career Fair content strategy.
• Make sure you have specialists manning all the booths, so no visitor leaves an interaction confused or unsatisfied.
• Have someone manning every open chat forum throughout the duration of the Virtual Career Fair so you solve candidate queries in real-time.
• Ensure that your query response time is under two minutes because then, you maximize the chances of capturing a prospective lead since their interest is still fresh.
• Most importantly, treat your candidates like customers. The more effort your booth reps will put into satisfying the attendees, the more favorable and lasting employer brand your event will cast.
Webinars are widely being used by organizations to disseminate information, boost event engagement and most importantly, to position themselves as the industry thought leaders. They are the most popular digital tool used by B2B Marketers to generate strong leads and therefore, you should leverage this tool to convey your corporate message with maximum impact.
Have your most qualified and eloquent employees conduct live webinars at the virtual career fair and have them introduce your organization, its culture, and mission to add the authenticity of human interaction. You can also invite expert guest speakers at the event to further solidify your organization's authority on its operations. Keep these webinars roughly 45 minutes long for maximum impact and open the floor for a live Q&A session to amplify at-event engagement. To learn more about this, read our article on why you need to compliment a webinar with a virtual event.
We're all fans of great stories. You might have noticed that top companies like General Electric, Microsoft, and Nike are investing heavily in communicating their brand story. Having a strong narrative that weaves your corporate vision together with its current operations can be highly potent in this case. Utilize corporate videos, employee testimonials, and client success stories to develop a compelling narrative for your brand that leaves a lasting impression on those who take the time to absorb it.
A great employer brand acts as a strong and consistent pull-strategy when it comes to employer marketing. It certainly requires dedicated effort and a coherent plan, but that investment pays off in spades when your organization attracts top performers in today's highly competitive employment landscape. A Virtual Career Fair is one of your best bets at promoting your employer brand because it allows you to communicate with your core demographic in a highly personalized and immersive space, one that your attendees opted to participate in. Make the most of your next online career fair by discussing all these possibilities with your team and your virtual event provider and brace yourself for an event that will be a smashing success.


For his second film, Burton teamed up with Michael Keaton to make Beetlejuice (1988), and the two re-teamed to resurrect the flawed comic hero Batman, with Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992). The astounding success of these films… Batman made more than any other film in 1989… set Burton firmly on Hollywood's A-list of directors.
It was in-between the Batman films that Burton first directed Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands (1990). Depp, like Reubens, was red-hot in Hollywood at the time for his television work (21 Jump Street), but had never headlined a film. Scissorhands solid box office performance put Johnny Depp on the A-list and kicked off a long-term partnership with Burton, a partnership which even earned Depp an Academy Award nomination (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street). Dark Shadows is their eighth feature film together.

Every day, the U.S. Government processes some 75 million transactions, affecting the tax payments and benefits of over 200 million Americans. Any downtime, even for a few minutes, can have serious and far-reaching consequences. That's why 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid was chosen to protect its new, state-of-the-art support center.
A U.S. federal agency expects its new 300,000 square-foot support center, like other data centers, to perform reliably, all the time, without interruption because if it goes down, the effects can be catastrophic. Just minutes of downtime can interrupt the transactions that millions of Americans rely on.
Clean agents like 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid (PDF, 1.37 MB) are widely used in mission-critical facilities such as data centers because, unlike water or dry chemicals, they do not damage sensitive electronic equipment, data storage media or paper documents. Novec 1230 fluid is nonconductive and evaporates cleanly, without leaving a residue. Systems using Novec 1230 fluid are designed to extinguish fires while they are still small, helping to prevent their spread, typically allowing the facility to remain in continuous operation, even during a fire event.
Although transaction continuity was a key concern for this U.S. federal agency, they also wanted to ensure that the new facility lived up to the federal government's pledge to reduce its environmental impact by using environmentally sustainable products. And in this regard, all clean agents are most definitely not alike.
Novec 1230 fluid's unique properties helped the fire suppression system's designers meet all of the agency's criteria – providing flexible system design and a large margin of safety for workers, while reducing the risk of damage to valuable. Additionally, the environmental properties of Novec 1230 fluid helped them meet the new Federal Green Challenge initiatives, while enabling them to install one of the largest total flooding clean agent systems in the world.
Download the Novec 1230 Fluid Case Study (PDF, 15.57 KB) to learn all the reasons why Novec 1230 fluid was the most viable option for this U.S. federal agency's new data center facility.

Home Match Previews RLODC Semi-Final Preview: Worcestershire v Surrey
RLODC Semi-Final Preview: Worcestershire v Surrey
By Terry Wright -
Worcestershire take on Surrey at Worcester on Saturday for a place in the Royal London One Day Cup final at Lord's to be played on 1 July.
The last time the home side reached a semi-final, let alone a final, was as far back as 2004. Since then, too often on the road to Lord's they have been left stranded on the hard shoulder.
Surrey, on the other hand, are bidding for their third consecutive Royal London final.
Worcestershire will take comfort from home ground advantage. They have won all their home matches in the competition this year, every one against a team from a Test match ground.
Worcestershire topped the North Group with six wins out of eight. Surrey scraped through in third place in the South Group, before defeating Yorkshire on Tuesday in a quarter final game.
Ironically, having to play that game at Headingley could help Surrey by getting them thoroughly back in 50 over mode. By contrast, Worcestershire played their last Royal London game almost exactly a month ago. They will have to make a rapid adjustment.
This game is too close to call. Worcestershire's home record is formidable but Surrey have a highly talented squad.
It will all come down to who strikes form on the day; and it could just be that Surrey, still on a high from that Headingley win, will hit their stride quicker. Nevertheless, you would have to be nuttier than a squirrel's picnic to bet heavily on the result.
As a wise politician once said, we had better wait and see.
Key Men
Getting an important all-rounder back from Champions Trophy duty is a bonus for Worcestershire. Yes, we are talking about John Hastings, the powerful Australian who combines hard hitting in the middle order with canny fast-medium bowling.
Hastings is joint top wicket taker for Worcestershire with ten victims. His useful contributions with the bat have been at a strike rate of 142.85.
Three years ago, Hastings helped Durham to the Royal London final but missed out on playing at Lord's because of Champions League commitments. "I was absolutely devastated," he says. "For me to get to a Lord's final, and stand on that balcony, would be amazing."
As for Surrey's key man, he surely can't do it again, can he? Don't bet against it. Kumar Sangakkara is having the final season of his dreams.
He averages around 90 in both the Royal London Cup and the County Championship so far with seven hundreds. In his last two Royal London innings, he has scored 245 runs for once out.
Sangakkara's Headingley century was his 100th in first class and List A matches. Everyone who saw his obvious disappointment when he finally was dismissed for 124 was left in no doubt that his appetite for runs is undiminished.
Worcestershire welcome back not just John Hastings but also Moeen Ali. They will, however, be without their only century maker and top run-scorer in the competition this year, Tom Kohler-Cadmore.
When it was revealed that Kohler-Cadmore intended to join Yorkshire next season, he was somewhat peremptorily told he could go now. So the promising young batsman misses out on a semi-final appearance but Worcestershire will have to do without his runs.
Worcestershire squad: Daryl Mitchell, Moeen Ali, Tom Fell, Joe Clarke, Brett D'Oliveira, Ben Cox (wk), Ross Whiteley, Joe Leach (c), John Hastings, Ed Barnard, Josh Tongue, Jack Shantry, George Rhodes
Surrey welcome back Jason Roy to their squad. He will clearly be eager to end his run drought. Stuart Meaker is also in the Surrey squad together with the eleven who defeated Yorkshire.
Surrey squad: Scott Borthwick, Kumar Sangakkara, Jason Roy, Rory Burns, Ben Foakes(wk), Ollie Pope, Sam Curran, Tom Curran, Gareth Batty(c), Ravi Rampaul, Stuart Meaker, Jade Dernbach, Mark Stoneman
Worcestershire: WWWLWTie
Surrey: WNRWWLW
Weather and conditions
With a forecast of bright sunshine and a top temperature of 26 degrees, there is no danger of the River Severn overflowing its banks. A large crowd can bask in the sun; and the Ladies Pavilion should do an excellent trade in their famous teas.
On the pitch, teams batting first have averaged just under 300 in their 50 overs this season so spectators should see plenty of runs.
Date: 17 June 2017
Time: 11.00 am
Ground: Worcester
Odds (SkyBet): Worcestershire 5/4; Surrey 8/13

The South Korean government has reintroduced stricter anti-virus measures to tackle the latest surge.
"The government will focus on strengthening anti-virus measures for the next four weeks, filling in the loopholes created during the country's gradual return to normal.

The social gathering capacity in the capital region will be limited to six people - down from 10, and eight in other regions, reduced from 12.
Only one unvaccinated person will be allowed in a group in all regions.
This will take effect from Monday and last for four weeks.
Vaccine passes will also now be required in restaurants and cafes.
People going to museums, theaters, concerts as well as cram schools,.. will also have to provide proof of vaccination.
This will start on Monday, with a one-week grace period.
Currently, the passes are only required for entry to venues like indoor sports facilities, bars, nightclubs, singing rooms, and public baths.
Passes will still not be required for weddings, funerals, department stores, supermarkets, and outdoor sports facilities.
From February next year, the use of passes will be further expanded to teenagers.
To prevent additional Omicron variant cases in the country, all travelers arriving in South Korea will have to quarantine for ten days starting Friday, for the next 2 weeks.
The introduction of stronger measures is a bid to contain the recent spike in the number of infections,.. amid concerns over the Omicron variant.
South Korea on Friday confirmed 4-thousand 9-hundred 44 new COVID-19 cases
dipping slightly from Thursday's all-time high figure of more than 5-thousand.
However, a record 7-hundred 36 severely-ill patients were reported.
Meanwhile, South Korea has confirmed six cases of the Omicron variant.
And the country's first suspected cluster infection linked to one of the patients has been identified, at a church in Incheon.

Calvert-Lewin nets, James shines as Everton beats Tottenham
By ROB HARRIS - Sep. 13, 2020 05:34 PM EDT

LONDON (AP) — Dominic Calvert-Lewin produced the goal and James Rodriguez provided the spark on his debut as Everton opened its Premier League season with a 1-0 win at Tottenham on Sunday.
Calvert-Lewin rose above defenders Eric Dier and Toby Alderweireld to meet Lucas Digne's free kick and power a header past goalkeeper Hugo Lloris 10 minutes into the second half.
"This game told us we can compete with everyone," Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti said after leading the Merseyside club to its first away win at Tottenham since 2008.
Everton had squandered a far easier chance to take the lead in the first half when Richarlison missed an open goal. The Brazilian sprinted onto Ben Davies' misplaced backward pass and rounded Lloris but scooped a shot over an unprotected net from a tight angle.
At least Richarlison was getting close to scoring. Tottenham striker Harry Kane was ineffective in front of goal, with only two touches in the Everton penalty area.
It was the first time Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho — who has previously managed Chelsea and Manchester United — has lost his opening match of a Premier League season, having been unable to sign a backup option to Kane.
"Our pressure up (front) was very, very poor," said Mourinho, who finished sixth in his partial first season at Tottenham. "It was a lazy pressure and when you have lazy pressure you let opponents build from the back."
Mourinho revealed the coronavirus — which keeps fans out of stadiums — has had a greater impact on the squad than previously disclosed.
"Harry Kane trained with us once ... Moussa Sissoko, a couple," Mourinho said. "We have the right not to say which players were, but we had players with positive COVID. We had other players in quarantine due to proximity with positive players.
"We had a player in quarantine because he was on holiday in a country that England quarantined. We had national teams, couple of weeks where the players, many of them they went to national teams. So, the preseason was a difficult preseason for many of the players and I couldn't expect them to be sharp, intense, agile."
Everton's biggest signing of the curtailed summer break was James from Real Madrid where he fell out of favor. And the Colombian midfielder was sharp on his debut — in only his second match since February — at the heart of the attacking threat and pinging balls with precision.
Another player who has been reunited with Ancelotti — Allan, who joined from Napoli — was also dominant in midfield against an ineffective Tottenham.
It was the first time Everton has won away at one of the top-six sides since 2013.
The victory was a sign of Everton's potential to be able to break into the European places in Ancelotti's first full season in charge of a team he dragged away from relegation danger into a 12th-place finish in July.
"Our target is to fight to reach European positions," Ancelotti said. "We started well ... the problem that we had last season was that a lot of times we were up and down."

Mexico: Mexican-American vote in Mexico election hampered by apathy, hurdles | San Jose Mercury News
Mexico: Mexican-American vote in Mexico…
Juan Castro is voting for two presidents this year: one for the United States and another for Mexico. "I'm not sure who I'm going to vote for," said the San Jose resident. "To tell you the truth, the three main candidates who are running are worthless, more of the same." He's talking about the Mexican election. The three-month campaign for Mexico's July 1 presidential and congressional election officially began Friday. "They're all career politicians. As far as parties, they're all the same." Still, four decades after he moved to the United States, the municipal accountant at Sunnyvale City Hall is one of more than 12,000 Mexican-Americans in California who have registered to vote in the election, a fraction of the nearly 4 million eligible.
Will Mexican-American voters make a difference if there's a close election to replace outgoing President Felipe Calderon? Not as much as they could, says Hector Tajonar, professor at UC San Diego's Center for Mexican-American Studies. "I don't think they will have any influence, any important influence, unfortunately," Tajonar said. The election is an important one that will affect the tone of cross-border relations, trade, immigration and the war on criminal cartels for the rest of the decade.
Almost all of the Mexican-born immigrants in California are eligible to vote in Mexico, but a cumbersome registration diminishes their sway. To register to vote by mail from abroad, prospective voters must travel to Mexico, file papers at an election office to get a voter ID card, and then wait.

Champions Joao Vidinha Christian
Pedro Andrade wins Dragon Gold Cup
The final day of the Yanmar Dragon Gold Cup 2019 in Medemblik was a frustrating one as the wind refused to stabilise sufficiently to complete a race, and despite there being wind in the race area, it simply wouldn't stop shifting and ultimately no race was possible.
Pedro Andrade, Star class veteran Christian Giannini and Joao Vidinha sailing for Portugal were therefore confirmed as worthy and very popular Dragon Gold Cup 2019 champions.
The trio had battled several major gear failures during the week, including a broken gooseneck, ripped spinnaker, failed bilge pumps and a broken runner, but in spite of that, they not only won the regatta, but won it by a convincing ten points.
Andrade, who has made the Gold Cup podium twice before but never won it, was keen to pay tribute to his rivals.
"They sailed really well and it was hard to stay ahead of them sometimes. Peter Gilmour had one bad race; otherwise he would have been really close to us. And Pieter Heerema was always looking smart somewhere on the race course.
"Fortunately it went our way, but still a great job by those two teams." In his acceptance speech he also paid tribute to his crew and to the organisers and sponsors who did such a superb job of running the regatta.
Second place overall went to Vendee Globe veteran Pieter Heerema of The Netherlands, who was sailing with 2005 49er world champion, George Leonchuck, as well as Lars Hendricksen, who has won the Gold Cup twice as a helm and is also a double Dragon European champion.
Heerema has made the Gold Cup podium three times before, including last year with the same crew, and was surely hoping that it was his turn to be the bride and not the bridesmaid, but it was not to be.
The final overall podium place was claimed by America's Cup and World Match Racing legend Peter Gilmour, his son Sam, also a top International Match Racer and Yasuhiro Yaji, who was part of Gilmour's Japanese America's Cup team.
Had it not been for a disastrous third race the result might have been different, but the no discard rule is one of the things that makes the Dragon Gold Cup such a very special and challenging trophy to win and it put paid to Gilmour's hopes.
Double Olympic Gold Medallist and Dragon sailing, legend Poul Richard Hoj-Jensen, who the Dragon fleet simply calls 'The Man' in recognition of his immense contribution to the class, took victory in the Corinthian Division. Or as he calls it, the "weekend sailors' class".
Crewed by old friends Hamish McKay and Chris Brittain, 75 year-young Hoj Jensen may class himself as a weekender, but he has won the Gold Cup an incredible five times and remains a fearsome competitor. He finished ninth in the overall competition this week.
After sailing he paid tribute to the quality of the event organisation. "They could not have got it much better, we had light wind, we had good strong wind, and they have organised it very, very well."
Second place in the Corinthian Division went to Sweden's Martin Pålsson, Peter Lindh and Thomas Wallenfeldt, while local hero Jan Bakker, who sailed his first Gold Cup in 1963 and raced this week with his sons Dominic and Oliver, took the third step on the Corinthian Podium.
The Nations Cup Trophy, for the three boat national team's competition, was won by the British Team of Grant Gordon, Richard Hoj-Jensen and Gavia Wilkinson-Cox with 214 points. In second was the Russian Team of Dmitry Samokhin, Anatoly Loginov and Igor Goikhberg with 220 points, while third went to the Danes, Frank Berg, Jens Christensen and Jørgen Schönherr.
Dutchman, John den Engelsman, took home the Silver Cup Trophy, which is awarded to the winner of the Silver Fleet or the boat that finishes at the mid-point in the ranking if the regatta is sailed as one fleet. Den Egelsman is a huge character in the Dutch fleet and his win was very well received.
The next Dragon Gold Cup will be held in Kinsale, Ireland from 5-11 September 2020. This always popular Dragon sailing venue combines a wonderful shoreside ambiance with superb racing on the spectacular Bay of Kinsale and great Irish craic, so another great turnout is expected.

At Birchwood Grove, we have been developing a style of working called 'Mantle of the Expert' throughout the school.
What is Mantle of the Expert?
The Mantle of the Expert is a dramatic inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning, invented and developed by Professor Dorothy Heathcote at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in the 1980's. The big idea is that the class do all their curriculum work as if they are an imagined group of experts.
They might be scientists in a laboratory or archaeologists excavating a tomb, or a rescue team at the scene of a disaster. They might be running a removal company, or a factory, or a shop, or a space station.
Because they behave as if they are experts, the children are working from a specific point of view as they explore their learning and this brings special responsibilities, language needs and social behaviours.
Through activities and tasks, the children gradually take on some of the same kinds of responsibilities, problems and challenges that real archaeologists, scientists and librarians might do in the real world.
Why do we use the Mantle approach in our school?
Using the Mantle approach provides a brilliant context for learning. It allows us to bring different areas of the curriculum into one topic, but also gives the children ownership of their learning.


Last Thursday I downloaded Pokémon GO, just a couple of hours after its UK launch. And if not exactly hooked, trying to ensnare Zubat on the bus or Golduck on the tube is a really fun way of passing time. Apparently I'm not on my own either. Pokémon GO now has more users than Tinder and interest in the game transcends generations. Even my parents were out giving it a whirl over the weekend.
At the time of writing this there have been no reported car accidents in the UK as a result of people using the app while driving. But if other bad driving habits are anything to go by, it's only a matter of time. In a study IAM RoadSmart did last year, one in five 25-35 year olds admitted to taking a selfie while driving in the month before alone.
It's worth bearing in mind the law on mobile phone use at the wheel too. If you're caught using a hand-held mobile phone while driving or riding, you'll get an automatic fixed penalty notice – that's three penalty points and a fine of £100.
At a point in time where we increasingly worry that kids are spending too many of their formative years glued to games consoles and smart devices, it seems ridiculous to say, but I really do think the game is great for getting out and seeing an area. So get out there and get hunting. Just wait till you're out of the car. And watch out for that kerb!
Caroline Holmes, IAM RoadSmart's Communications manager.


The Virtual WebTerminal allows you to enter payment information by simply swiping any Credit or Debit card throuh our free USB card reader connected to your PC or Laptop computer. The Virtual WebTerminal enables businesses to authorize, process, and manage credit card transactions from any computer with an Internet connection and a Web browser. Virtual WebTerminal replaces standard Verifone or Hypercom authorization terminals or PC software and provides the best solution for merchants that want to preserve counterspace by not adding a stand alone credit card terminal.
It is easy to authorize credit card transactions, just swipe a Credit or Debit card and the Virtual WebTerminal completes the transaction. This information is encrypted using 128 bit Secure Socket Layer technology and sent to the transaction server. The server then sends the data through the authorization network to the appropriate card issuer's bank over a secure, proprietary connection. When the process is complete -- this takes around five seconds -- the merchant receives an authorization number, and the server stores the transaction. Transactions are automatically settled each day. You can also check the status of transactions, automatically bill customers for recurring charges, or run a variety of reports.

Would you tell us a little bit about yourself and your practice?
I am podiatrist, human movement specialist and creator of the Barefoot Training Specialist® Certification. I am in private practice in Manhattan where I specialize in movement dysfunction as it relates to feet, foot to core integration and from the ground up stabilization.
I take a non-traditional approach as a podiatrist meaning that I favor more natural movement (barefoot science), minimal footwear and neuromuscular activation as part of my patients treatment.
How did you decide to choose your profession? Your specialty?
My passion is movement so I knew that I always wanted to build a career that was built around the art of movement.
Fifteen years ago, when I first began my fitness career I was very happy but knew I still wanted to eventually get a graduate degree. When I was looking at graduate schools Podiatry seemed like a speciality that would allow me to do medicine but still focus on movement, biomechanics and athletics.
I didn't quite know how I'd combine my passions but it's amazing how things unfold and I am exactly where I want to be career-wise. To wake up every morning and be able to do medicine, fitness, movement and education makes me feel like I don't have to do a job – I'm simply doing what I love.
What are the most common misconceptions about foot health?
I think some of the biggest misconceptions about foot health and foot function are actually put out by Podiatrists.
There is a belief that our feet were not designed to support its own structure without shoes and orthotics – and if you don't wear supportive shoes your arches will collapse. This is completely illogical. If this were a true statement we evolutionarily would not be bipedal beings.
I've been lucky enough to travel all around the world to educate professionals about foot function and barefoot science, which means I've seen feet from over 30 countries – all different sizes, shapes and from different cultures. I've seen cultural differences in foot types and foot function and a common denominator that I can see is that shoes are very damaging to the foot and actually create a lot of intrinsic muscle weakness.
This is why I build my practice around natural movement. Having said that I still understand the benefit of orthotics and their role in supporting foot pathology.
What is the most taxing sport for feet?
I'd definately have to say running!
That much repetition in impact forces will eventually stress the human tissue – be it tendons, bone, fascia. The human body is just not designed to take that much repetition without sufficient recovery – and on the unnatural surfaces that many people run on. Regardless of strike pattern or footwear runners need to be smart to match their recovery to the amount of stress they are putting on the body. This is often hard for most runners as they like to run not recover.
What types of exercises / practices / stretches do you find most underrated for common foot issues?
Although there is still a lot of science around barefoot training – I'd have to say the benefits of training without shoes is still not accepted by all. I teach professionals about the power of barefoot activation before lifting, running, training and look it as a form of movement prep.
The power of barefoot training that I reference is not barefoot running – but rather foot to core exercises that are done barefoot. The faster we can sequence our feet with our core that faster we can transfer forces when walking, running, jumping etc.
Would you tell us about the courses you offer and who attends?
Through the Evidence Based Fitness Academy (www.ebfafitness.com) I offer certifications in barefoot science and what I call from the ground up programming. The Barefoot Training Specialist® and BarefootRx® Rehab Specialist® certifications are built around foot to core sequencing, fascial tensioning and movement efficiency from the ground up.
We teach health and fitness professionals how to activate the foot with barefoot science, how to perform foot and gait assessments, how to create programming based on client foot type and in our new level 3 about how hand function / grip strength can actually be sequenced with foot to core activation.
Workshops are offered all across the world with professionals certified in over 30 countries.
Please tell us how you came to know about RockTape.
I was first introduced to RockTape through my good friend and mentor Dr Perry Nickelston. His passion for movement, education and the betterment of the health industry is so inspiring. I now integrate RockTape with all of my patients and into my Barefoot Training Specialist® program.
How do you use RockTape in your practice? What are your favorite RockTape tools / products?
RockTape follows fascial integration and activation which exactly matches the benefits of barefoot science. I like to tape the foot – not only because I'm a podiatrist – but also because the fact that the foot is the only contact point between the body and the ground means that we need fast – reflexive – and really pre-activation of foot stabilizers when we move. RockTape allows us to better achieve this through priming the nervous / proprioceptive system.
I play sport too and I use this product too it was interesting read about !!


My brother, sister and I made a quick week-end trip to Orlando and this place was ideal, great location. Many of the rentals had twin beds in one of the rooms but this one had a King in 2 bedrooms and a Queen in the other. We were really close to all activities and had the privacy and comfort of the condo. We really did not do any cooking since we were there for only a couple of days but the condo had all the things we would have needed. The unit was on the ground floor and we enjoyed sitting out on the small patio in the evenings. Even though we did not have time to use it, there was a really nice pool, kiddie pool and hot tub. They also had a small game room for the children. We would definitely consider staying at this condo if we find ourselves in the area again.


Approximately 84% of end-of-life-care costs are paid for by a government entity.
Nearly 3.5% of these costs will be paid out-of-pocket.
End-of-life care may take place in a hospital, nursing home, hospice or assisted living facility.
No one enjoys considering what will happen at the end of their life. Unfortunately, if you don't make plans for end-of-life care, you could be stuck with hefty medical bills and pass those bills onto your heirs.
As Atlanta estate planning attorneys, we know that a sound financial plan is important no matter your age or status. It is never too early or too late to put a plan into place that details your final wishes for yourself and your assets. Your attorney at Fouts Legal Group, LLC can assist you in creating a sound incapacity plan that will ensure you are in complete control.
In the event that you become incapacitated, someone will be making decisions on your behalf. Some of those decisions are not the same ones you would have made given the ability or opportunity. When you have a comprehensive plan in place, your loved ones aren't tasked with making difficult decisions on your behalf. Here's what you need to know about incapacity planning in Atlanta.
Many people are under the belief that they only need a will. Others think they only need a do not resuscitate order (DNR). Still others think a living will is the way to go. In truth, a comprehensive incapacity plan contains different components based upon your situation and needs. You need more than a single document.
An incapacity plan will include a living will which sets forth the type of care you desire should you lose the ability to verbalize your wishes. A DNR will clearly tell your loved ones what you wish for if you stop breathing or your heart stops beating.
Different powers of attorney will give the right people power over your health and your estate. When you sit down with an estate planning attorney, they will discuss your current financial situation, what your finances may look like in the future, and what you desire for the end of your life.
Many people forego creating a comprehensive incapacity plan because they believe attorneys are too expensive. While it's true that you will have to pay an attorney to assist you, not having a plan could end up being more expensive than paying a lawyer to create one for you.
For example, let's say that you are involved in a car accident and end up in a coma. Without an incapacity plan, there is no one who is able to access our money to pay the bills that you still owe. That means that for as long as you are unconscious, your rent or mortgage will go unpaid, your car payment won't be made, and your credit cards will quickly become past due.
You may face eviction, foreclosure or repossession. You may rack up late fees, interest and penalties on credit cards and loans. The negative consequences of not having an incapacity plan in place outweigh the cost of paying an attorney to create a plan.
You have made decisions for yourself for the better part of your life. You have made your own money and compiled your own assets. If you don't have an incapacity plan, your independence is essentially taken away from you.
You will have no say in your end of life care unless you are fortunate enough to have the court appoint someone who is aware of your plans and will follow through with them, even if they have a differing opinion. When you do have a plan in place, your decisions are made well ahead of time, and they are still your own.
What if you already have an incapacity plan? If your financial situation has changed, you've added to your family or your wishes are no longer what they once were, you need to revise your plan. An estate planning attorney in Atlanta can take care of this for you.
Your plan should be revisited whenever your life situation changes. If you created your plan when you were in your 20s or 30s, for example, you may have a vastly different outlook on life now that you have edged into senior status.
You may not know that a power of attorney has nothing to do with a lawyer. A power of attorney is simply a legal document that names the person you want in charge of certain aspects of your life. You may have a healthcare power of attorney, a financial power of attorney, or both.
Your lawyer can help you determine when a power of attorney makes the most sense and can also help you decide who should be named.
Very few people are comfortable discussing the end of their lives or their wishes should they become incapacitated. It's a necessity that shouldn't be avoided simply out of discomfort. An experienced attorney can assist you or a loved one in creating a plan that is sensible, legal and enforceable.
Reach out to your Atlanta estate planning attorney today to schedule a consultation. We can assist you in creating a comprehensive incapacity plan that will cover all aspects of your end-of-life plan. We can help you create a plan no matter your station in life and we will work to ensure that all your wishes are carried out should you be unable to make decisions for your own care.

In today's digital and plastic age, it seems unlikely that an Iphone could be used with a wooden speaker, but students at Grant High School's woodworking classes are making them, and a whole lot of other wooden items as part of their studies.
Moreover, in a time when more students are choosing technology classes, over traditional manual skills classes, the woodworking class at Grant is fast becoming one of the school's more popular, thanks to a little bit of help from OneFortyOne's Jubilee Highway Sawmill.
Prior to 2017, Grant's woodworking program was in decline with few students enrolled. The school was struggling to find a supply of timber and so parents were having to pay extra fees for their children to learn the traditional art of wood working.
When Jubilee Site Sawmill General Manager Paul Hartung heard about the plight of the class, he was more than happy to get involved and supply the entire school's woodworking timber needs for the year, free of charge.
"It was our pleasure to get involved with the school. Mount Gambier is a timber town, and we should be doing everything we can to help our children learn how to make things from wood. It is the ultimate renewable, and our region grows some of the best in the world".
Now, two years on there are significantly more students picking up the subject, especially in Years 11 and 12.
"Woodworking class asks students to imagine a project and develop a plan to make it happen. There is no better way to inspire creativity and problem-solving than giving a student free reign in a room full of power tools to make something practical and beautiful from wood", said Mr McCulloch.
For OneFortyOne's Paul Hartung, the benefits of supporting the class are more than just helping students learn practical manual tasks, it is a way to ensure local students see a bright future in the timber industry.
"Our local timber industry is thriving, and we need young talented people to join it once they've finished school. The Jubilee Highway Sawmill offers lots of different career options, everything from finance, engineering, environmental science, and IT through to various mechanical, electrical, saw doctoring and trade apprenticeships.
"It would be great to think that one of the local students enjoying a woodworking class today, could one day become the General Manager of the Jubilee Highway Sawmill".


I am delighted to recommend Ron as a wedding musician following his performance at our ceremony. He is an excellent guitarist clearly with considerable experience and his music really helped set the ambience for the day. Before the event he worked with us to select the music from his wide repertoire and the choices proved absolutely appropriate. He was professional and courteous throughout the whole process and we were very pleased to have chosen him to provide music for our special day. (Phil and Julie, Warwickshire).
We wanted to say a huge Thank You to you for your wonderful playing at Claire and Matt's wedding. Your playing added so much to the experience in the church and really created a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in the hotel. Also, if you will excuse me saying so, it was really classy. (Ian and Celia, Bristol).


Dr Stuart Griffiths recently joined the NCRI as Head of Strategy & Initiatives. In our latest 60 second interview, Stuart tells us what he will be doing at the NCRI and a bit about his background.
I am on secondment from Breast Cancer Now where I was working to create the new charity following the merger between Breast Cancer Campaign and Breakthrough Breast Cancer. Specifically I worked across the organisation and the Board of Trustees to develop our organisational and research strategies. As part of this work I led a project called the 'Big Breast Cancer Conversation' to gather insight from people affected by breast cancer and our supporters across the UK to ensure they were listened to in our new strategy.
I've known and been involved with the NCRI for a long time and have been impressed at what can be achieved when we, the cancer research funders, work in collaboration. Having spent time developing a new strategy for Breast Cancer Now, I was drawn to the idea of implementing a different type of strategy at the NCRI. The new NCRI Partnership strategy, launching soon, has some unique challenges and opportunities that really captured my imagination. It's also an interesting time for the NCRI as it becomes a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The opportunity to help shape the NCRI as it develops is a privilege. Finally, and most importantly, the NCRI ensures that people affected by cancer improve the work we are doing, and this is vital to give any research effort the best possible chance of impacting patients.
As Head of Strategy and Initiatives I have three main duties. Firstly, I lead a fantastic team who work to ensure the Partnership can understand the cancer research landscape and we look for gaps and opportunities. The team scope out possible new initiatives to address the issues identified and, where it is clear that a collaborative approach across the Partnership will add value, the team will run the initiatives. Secondly, I am supporting the NCRI Executive to play our part in implementing the new NCRI strategy. And finally, I work with the other Heads and the Director of the NCRI as part of the senior management to lead the charity.
Where to start! It's only been six weeks and I am enjoying the huge variety of strategic issues my role throws up! From working with CM-Path to reinvigorate academic pathology, which is vital for cancer research, to looking at how the NCRI might support some of the Cancer Taskforce Research Recommendations. In the same day I can be thinking about the best way to set priorities for research around 'living with and beyond cancer' and working out how the NCRI Executive might best provide a forum to the Partners to discuss the research policy landscape.
We have a new 'living with and beyond cancer' initiative that will be listening to patients to help identify the priorities for research in this area. Now that we're able to extend lives through successes in treatments we need to ensure that people can live well, so I am very much looking forward to this initiative that will put patients at the heart of our research priorities in this area. We are also testing out new ways to assess the cancer research landscape – the first step in any strategic thinking is to be clear on the current situation, so this is fundamental to the work of my team.
We are about to publish a new strategy that will start the next five-year cycle of the NCRI. We will be looking closely at how we can best implement the strategy, and build on the NCRI Partnership's major strength – collaborating to accelerate progress in cancer research.

Methoxetamine, or to provide its full name, 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-(ethylamino)cyclohexanone can be a fairly new chemical getting sold by lots of from the extra popular Research Chemical vendors. Whilst you can find these that would have you think this chemical is only offered in smaller amounts, this is far from the truth. In fact getting Methoxetamine bulk is just a case of getting the right supplier.
Wholesale suppliers of Investigation Chemical substances seem to become a closely guarded industry secret, those select few lucky adequate to have access are carrying out almost everything feasible to keep the sources to themselves.
While this does make sense with regards to organization (if absolutely everyone can get wholesale then everybody can potentially become a competitor), the investigation chemical sector isn't anything that should be looked at in such a harsh light.
It appears that the days of helping out fellow researchers are long gone, replaced rather by continuous money grabbing and greed.
Hopefully with the assist of this article we are able to introduce bulk Methoxetamine / bulk Research Chemical suppliers to absolutely everyone that needs them. Discovering reliable sources for chemicals will always be 1 in the extra tough parts of vending, typically speaking most of the far better sellers are going to be passed on by way of word of mouth, but that doesn't mean it is not worth searching, far from it!
A lot of folks will get started at web-sites like Alibaba, TradeKey or one in the many other wholesale markets. Whilst it can be achievable to find legit wholesalers here, it's worth baring in thoughts that there will inevitably be a great deal of men and women searching to rob you. In case you have to use these internet sites we advocate sticking to sellers within the very same country as you; bear in mind for those who can choose up and spend for the chemical substances in individual, the danger of acquiring scammed is lowered to practically zero.
There is not surprisingly the selection of looking by way of Google, 'Buy Methoxetamine Wholesale' will undoubtedly bring you hundreds of results; having said that the problem with most of these sites is they're not really wholesalers. Their prices will most likely be very high, indicating that once you place an order they'll just acquire from a slightly more affordable retailer and ship the order more than to you.
What you are in search of is accurate wholesalers, vendors who can pretty easily knock thousands off in the bigger orders. Even though these vendors are naturally the hardest to discover, they'll normally stick with you indefinitely as soon as you do make speak to.
Wholesale markets, word of mouth, even just persevering using the searching, at some point you'll come across a bulk Methoxetamine supplier that may easily beat the present top retailers gives.

Kingswood Stepping Up to do Good in Community with Step-By-Step Initiative
July 28, 2021 In The News
In a bygone era of doing business, it was expected, if not accepted, that a company's sole purpose was to make money. It can even be argued that the financial services industry was an architect of this view.
After all, the industry is ground zero for generating fees and client outcomes. However, the world is changing and corporate stewardship along with it. At some point in the future, it's possible that folks will look back at one of the positives to emerge from a challenging, volatile 2020 is that more companies are waking up to the notion of social responsibility.
Today, some firms are awakening to that theme more rapidly than others. Count Kingswood U.S. among those in the financial services industry that are proving quick on the social responsibility uptake.
"An SEC-registered RIA and a FINRA-licensed broker/dealer with over $1.5B in assets under management, we offer comprehensive wealth management and business-building services, designed specifically for the independent financial advisor," according to the firm.
The Atlanta-based money manager isn't just doing good. It's doing good in its own backyard, working with the Step-By-Step Initiative to make back-to-school season easier for local families in need.
Starting the School Year Off Right
Owing to his experience in law enforcement, Step-By-Step founder Sirdarius Rashod "Deputy B" Benton possesses intimate knowledge of the community. He sees families struggle to prepare children for the new school year and that's the impetus behind the "Back to School Jamboree", which was held on July 24.
For Kingswood, the event was an attractive opportunity to put a growing policy of community enhancement to work with visible benefits, not just blindly cutting a check.
"We wanted to start with the local community and something where we would know our impact would be real and we could actually be involved with it rather than sending money somewhere and saying 'that's that,'" said Kingswood Director of Operations and Onboarding Ashley Webb.
She notes that due to Benton's ties to the Henry County community, he comes in contact with a lot of kids that are struggling – whether it by way of financial circumstances, COVID-19 or otherwise. Through that, Benton has important relationships with children and he's looking for ways to bolster their educational progress.
"It was important for us (Kingswood) to do something around education," said Webb. 'The 'Back to School Jamboree' is Step-By-Step's first event. They identified 55 local kids that are in need of some extra assistance."
The students all get important back to school supplies and 10 of the kids were surprised with a shopping spree at Target. Proving that doing good in the neighborhood can be a family affair, the shopping spree happened at the Target store managed by Webb's husband.
All told, Kingswood raised more than $22,000 for "'The 'Back to School Jamboree." That's a lot of backpacks. Moreover, that's a lot of positive impact on the community.
Not Stopping With Step-By-Step
Obviously, Step-By-Step is a great cause and with so many companies focusing global causes, Kingswood is to be commended for its backyard charitable focus, but as Webb points out, the asset manager isn't resting on those laurels.
She says Kingswood's next initiative could focus on young girls' education and that the firm's community efforts could encompass two major events per year as well as stepped up efforts around the holiday season.
"As we grow, it might get bigger and bigger and we might have multiple things going at the same time," said Webb. "If other great opportunities present themselves along the way, I'll definitely look at those as well."
With that inertia, it's possible Kingswood is rolling out a template of community involvement and responsibility other firms can and should emulate.

I remember the glory of fish sticks and tater tots before I became gluten free. Now that I've moved past the "I can't eat anything" stage that lasted a couple years, I've turned to the "How can I make it so I can eat it" stage! (If you're in the "I can't eat anything" stage, be patient– this too shall pass.) I've also been aware that eating healthier = feeling good, so I'll pass on those tater tots for now and share a healthier alternative. And if you have wee ones who are picky eaters, they'll at least eat the fish sticks!
Mix all dry ingredients together in a small bowl (or in a plastic bag). Pour milk into a second small bowl. Slice fish fillets into long narrow strips, dip in milk, then swish around in flour mix until coated. Place into preheated oil in a frying pan and let sizzle on med-high heat for several minutes. Flip fish over and let fry until desired crispiness. *Now one last thing* If you can eat tartar sauce, dig in! If you need an egg-free alternative that is good served with any fish, mix together about a cup of plain yogurt, about 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice, and about 1/2-1 Tbsp. dill. Stir it all together and add more dill or lemon juice to taste. You can also add a dash of garlic powder.


"PTHrP, its receptor, and protein kinase A activation in osteosarcoma" by Carl Walkley, Mannu K. Walia et al.
In osteosarcoma, knockdown of the parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) receptor reduces activation through cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) and substantially decreases tumor differentiation, invasion, and proliferation in vivo. These findings complement other evidence supporting a central role of the PKA pathway in osteosarcoma biology and pathogenesis.
