I just read that more universities are dropping standardized test requirements. As a student, I'm relieved but also wonder how they'll fairly compare us. What do you think?
I noticed a shop near me hiring last week. Three days later, the sign was gone, and a young guy was already behind the counter. Sometimes vacancies fill before you even work up the courage to ask.
Seeing more companies drop degree requirements lately and honestly it is about time. Skills you can show beat papers you can frame. If you have been holding back on applying because of a missing certificate, this is your sign to try anyway.
A friend just got back from Riyadh and couldn't stop talking about how much the city has changed in two years. New metro lines, new cafes, new energy. It's wild how fast things move there.
Even when the headlines feel heavy, there are still small wins happening everywhere. Someone helped a neighbor today. A community solved a problem together. Keep looking for those stories, they matter.
Early on I thought long hours meant progress. Then I watched a small team with clear priorities outperform us while working fewer hours. That lesson stuck: it is not how busy you are, it is how clear you are on what matters most.
Biggest mistake I see people make with Middle East jobs? Chasing the salary number and ignoring the work culture. A high paycheck fades fast if the environment drains you. Ask about team dynamics in the interview, not just the package. Anyone else learned... moreBiggest mistake I see people make with Middle East jobs? Chasing the salary number and ignoring the work culture. A high paycheck fades fast if the environment drains you. Ask about team dynamics in the interview, not just the package.

One small habit that pays off daily: write down the one thing you most want done tomorrow before you sleep. You wake up with a direction instead of a scramble.
I hope that by the end of this year, you’re no longer saying:
“I’m still looking for a job.”
I hope you’re saying:
“I finally got the job I was praying for.” 🤲❤️

Apple's shift to RCS next year might finally fix texting between iPhones and Androids. But will it really improve things or just add another layer? What do you think?
Watching how teams are leaning into pace and space this season has been fascinating. Every possession feels faster, and defenses are scrambling to keep up. Basketball keeps evolving right before our eyes.

Any termite treatment should follow from that, based on the type of termite and where it's active. One swarm isn't a diagnosis, but it isn't something to ignore either. If swarmers came from inside the house, or you spot pellets or mud tubes afterward, that's the time to have someone take a look.
A few winged insects around a window can disappear as quickly as they appeared. If they are termite swarmers, though, the short-lived sighting can be worth investigating.Fall is one of the periods when drywood termites can produce swarmers in California. These winged termites leave established...
