Donald Trump is wasting no time in planning his return to the White House.

Penn State University has launched a University-wide partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense’s SkillBridge program, offering active-duty service members internships across various departments to help them transition to civilian careers.

US President-elect Donald Trump thanked President Joe Biden for pledging a smooth transfer of power as the victorious Republican made a historic return visit to the White House on Wednesday.

Brussels, Belgium    — U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken assured Ukraine and its NATO allies on Wednesday that Washington remains committed to putting Ukraine “in the strongest possible position” in the final months of President Joe Biden’s administration, before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January. At the same time, Blinken expressed alarm about Russia possibly bolstering North Korea’s missile and nuclear capacities, as North Korean troops fight alongside Russian forces in Ukraine.   “President Biden has committed to making sure that every dollar we have at our disposal will be pushed out the door between now and January 20th,” Blinken told reporters at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Wednesday. “We’re making sure that Ukraine has the air defenses it needs, that has the artillery it needs, that it has the armored vehicles it needs,” he added. Blinken told VOA he expects U.S. allies' support for Ukraine to increase and emphasized that it’s critical for Washington’s partners to “continue to more than pick up their share of the burden.”    Speaking alongside NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Blinken reiterated that Washington will “continue to shore up everything” to enable Ukraine to defend itself effectively against Russian aggression. Rutte and other European leaders voiced serious concerns over North Korea’s active support for Russia in its war on Ukraine. “These North Korean soldiers present an extra threat to Ukraine and will increase the potential for Putin to do harm,” Rutte told reporters. The U.S. State Department says that more than 10,000 North Korean troops have been deployed to eastern Russia, and most of them have moved to the far western Kursk oblast, part of which Ukraine controls. On Wednesday, Blinken described the military collaboration between Pyongyang and Moscow as “a two-way street.” “There is deep concern about what Russia is or may be doing to strengthen North Korea’s capacities — its missile capacity, its nuclear capacity,” as well as the battlefield experience North Korean forces are gaining, he told reporters. In Brussels, Blinken held talks with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, European Union High Representative Josep Borrell and British Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, among others. The possibility of Ukraine using Western-supplied long-range missiles on Russian soil was among the topics discussed during Sybiha’s meeting with Blinken. “We need to speed up all critical decisions,” the Ukrainian foreign minister said before the meeting. “Ukraine has always cherished strong bipartisan support.  We maintain contact with both [Democratic and Republican] parties and work both with the [U.S.] president-elect and his team and also with the outgoing administration,” he added. In Washington, officials say Biden was expected to ask Trump during their talks at the White House on Wednesday not to walk away from Ukraine. Trump’s political allies have indicated that the incoming administration will prioritize achieving peace in Ukraine over enabling the country to reclaim Crimea and other territories occupied by Russia. Blinken has concluded talks with European counterparts in Brussels. He will next travel to Lima, Peru, for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, or APEC meetings, followed by stops in Manaus and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for a summit of the 20 largest economies, the G20. He will join Biden in Peru and Brazil. 

Concern is high that the transition of power in Washington will make it impossible to secure a deal over the next three months.

Just a week after former President Trump won back the presidency, the new administration is quickly forming, and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is asking ordinary Americans to make suggestions about what policies and people should be put in place.

Men often face challenges during the transition to fatherhood due to a lack of information and emotional support tailored to their specific needs, suggests

In a brief meeting, the two leaders assured the nation of a peaceful transition of power on January 20, 2025.

Fr. Barnabas Powell interviews Frederica and Fr. Gregory Mathewes-Green after they recently transitioned from full time parish ministry to "retirement." Of course, they remain as active as ever in continued outreach.

President-elect Donald Trump made his victorious return to Washington on Wednesday, meeting with jubilant House Republicans and then conferring with President Biden in the Oval Office, where they mutually pledged a smooth transfer of power after a bitter election in which they repeatedly disparaged each other.

Biden and Trump have sharply criticized each other for years, and their respective teams hold vastly different positions on policies from climate change to Russia to trade.

According to the latest GlobalData report, the oil and gas industry is experiencing a slowdown in its energy transition efforts. The report highlights that despite the growing global emphasis on sustainability and reducing carbon emissions, the pace at which the oil and gas sector is adopting renewable energy and other green technologies has decelerated. This slowdown is attributed to several factors, including economic uncertainties and fluctuating oil prices. Investment Shifts and Challenges The report points out that while there has been a significant investment in renewable energy projects, the overall commitment from major oil and gas companies has not met the expected levels. Companies are facing challenges in balancing their traditional fossil fuel operations with the need to invest in cleaner energy sources. The economic pressures and the need to maintain profitability in a volatile market have led to a cautious approach towards large-scale investments in renewable energy. Ravindra Puranik, Oil and Gas Analyst at GlobalData, commented on the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on energy security. He noted that the resultant supply chain disruptions have driven countries towards readily available fossil fuels, thereby boosting oil and gas demand. Puranik also highlighted that the push for energy self-reliance and high...

Recently I ran across a civilian gentleman that asked,"How can
military transitioning can be complicated for a person
leaving the military?" Basically, he wanted for me to
define the term military transition to where he could
relate and understand the process. "It's just changing jobs,
right?", he asked.

Before I began explaining the process, I made sure that
he realized that the transitioning process we were addressing
could apply to police officers, firemen, EMTs, and any other
job that has it's own lingo and culture.

In addition to the above occupations, a person who serves as
a teacher, a professor, a lawyer, an attorney, a public
official and every occupation you can think of goes through
some sort of transition once they no longer perform their
primary occupation.

We inevitably become like the people we work with and adopt
the thought process for that particular field. This thought
process then becomes a part of our lifestyle, identity,
vocabulary, and reasoning. The power of the thought process
and transformation of our identity in relation to our occupation
is underestimated. To put this theory to test, imagine taking a
30 day vacation and see how you feel by the 21st day. How
would your first day back to work feel? It takes 21 days
to acquire a habit.

Once we separate ourselves from that occupation, our identity
is tested. Once we leave or change occupations, we undergo a
self-discovery phase with our identities and experience an
identity transformation process. There are several events that
can kick off a self-discovery process within us (i.e. new job,
new location, new career field, marriage, divorce, etc).

A transition is just that, a transition. Ask any retiree
(civilian or military). Amazingly so, a person leaving the
military not only goes through a transition with an occupation,
they go through a lifestyle transition as well. Then if the
person relocates, there's a host of transitions occurring
simultaneously. All of these changes can cause sensory overload
if the person isn't prepared for the transition. (Hopefully this
analogy helps someone who hasn't served in the military understand
that military transitioning is a combination of transitions).

Over the past year, I'm really glad to see more supporting
websites and businesses online for military transitioning.
There was a need and the need for military transitioning
services will increase with our brothers and sisters returning
from war. Some say there isn't a war going on. If there is
blood being shed, that spells war to me and many others.


Food For Thought:


The lifesyle transition a military person experiences is the
transition of living within the civilian society. Our military
communities are very close knit. Imagine a base or post being a
little city with a population of approximately 2000 or less. A world
within a world, a microcosm in a macrocosm.

Transitions to Ponder:

1. Going from elementary school to junior high.
2. Going from junior high school to high school.
3. Going from high school to college.
4. Graduating from college and entering the work force.
5. Leaving home.
6. Going from single to married.
7. Going from childless to having children.
8. Watching children grow up.
9. Watching children leave home.
10. Going from a full nest to an empty nest.
11. Retirement, etc...
12. Leaving the earth plane as a living being.

Transitions are inevitable. That's living life.

Stay tuned for more on transitioning and it's affects. If
there is a topic you'd like incorporated within this subject,

Yesterday I was walking through a bookstore and
ran across a rare find. The book was on the
Sedona Method. For years I had heard of the
Sedona Method seminars and this was the first
time I ran across a book on the subject.

After reading the first 100 pages, I'm sure this
will help a lot of us that have transitioned or still
transitioning out of the military.

We suppress many of our feelings when we serve
in the Armed Forces. The mission comes first.
Over a period of time, we have many feelings that
are so suppressed, that we may appear as walking
time bombs. This analogy also goes for the
average person who has never served in the military.

Take a look at the below book and it's description.
See whether or not if this can be ammo in your toolbox
for military transitioning. I give this book a
"10" on a scale of 1 to 10.

If you're new to our military transition blog, be sure to check our
monthly archive links. For some strange reason, our individual
archives aren't updating, yet our monthly archives are loaded
with ideas.

This blog has been around for way over a year and many of the
Career Fair links are still good. Take time and click through our
Monthly Archives for Military Transition Ideas and
Career Fairs/Job Fairs.

Continual Reminder for Copies of Records:

Be sure to request copies of all military personnel records,
medical records, and dental records prior to your T.A.P.S.
Briefings. Your military evaluations hold the keys to writing
your civilian resume and you may be entitled to some sort
of medical disability.

The only way to determine if you're entitled to a military
disability is to have your medical records screened by
Veterans Affairs. Some bases, posts, or stations will ensure
that you bring a copy of your medical and dental records
to your T.A.P.S. briefings for an initial review. Seriously consider
having all records reviewed prior to leaving the military. This
will speed up your disablity claim.

For more information, contact your Military Transition Office
on your base/post. Read through our monthly archives for
additional information as well.

Hi Veterans and Soon to be Veterans,

Many of us seek ways to earn an income online. With the Iraqi
situation, many of our uniformed comrades may be unable to
work due to disabilities and many military members may want
to venture at an on or off line business.

Just recently, I reviewed an online service and was totally amazed
at the customer service and the quality of the product. Many of us
have to take a crash course on how internet marketers make their
incomes online.

Well, after sinking many dollars in various projects, I've found a winner.
The below web site is my number one recommendation for a person that
wants to start researching ways to earn an income online.

Stay tuned for our upcoming project.

We're still tightening up things with our new project. Our new project offers a way for people leaving the military, military families, and veterans to find articles on key topics they need. In other words, it's real hard to find quick information and tips on certain topics. You'll find yourself drowning in the internet to research certain topics to help you military transition. On our article directory, you're able to search a topic and find articles related to the topic you're searching. Articles are being added daily so be sure to visit the site frequently.

What we did was come up with an article directory where experts share their expertise and before going to their respective web site, you'll able to get valuable, key information about your topic. Please read press release below. Companies and services are encouraged to submit articles of substance for our uniformed comrades and place a link for free in our directory.

Long Beach, CA (PRWEB) April 2, 2006 -- An independent military transition coach has implemented a military transition tips article web site for people leaving the military and their families.

"Finding information to transition out of the military was very frustrating," explained Johnetta Matthews, an independent military transition coach. "For some reason, I felt very lost and didn't have a place where I could conduct thorough research on various military transitional topics. As time approaches for a person to look at their front gate through their rear view mirror for the last time, information is needed immediately. There had to be a solution to this dilemna." Thus, Military Transition Tips was born.

Companies and business owners can submit articles to our article web site to show expertise in their respective field. A military transition tips article web site was needed for experts to convey vital information on civilian topics and for people to be able to search and find them.

Military, military families, and veterans could use information on a compact article directory on the following topics:

1. Employment Tips
2. Self employment options
3. Investing Tips
4. Housing and Real Estate Tips
5. Military and Veteran Discounts
6. Military Loans
7. Military Placement/Staffing Agencies
8. Career Fair Strategies and Locations
9. Transitioning to Working from Home
10. Online Colleges' Tips
11. Colleges and Universities Tips
12. Trade Schools' Tips
13. Military Transition Tips for military, veterans, and their families
14. Pertinent clubs and associations
15. Insurance Tips
16. Civilian Health Care Tips
17. Life/Military Transition Coaching
18. Relocation Tips
19. Financial Tips
20. PTSD Information
21. Disabled Veterans Information

All information is searchable so veterans and people the military would be able to search on term of interest. Related keywords throughout articles are the keys to being located.

A successful civilian lifestyle depends on having diverse information on various topics and tips. Our men and women in uniform deserve to have an information portal that provides information from experts that would be of value to their military transition.

All chamber of commerce throughout the nation are highly encouraged to submit short articles on employment options, recreation, major industries, housing, and information regarding education in their respective city. It would be highly recommended to submit a url to the chamber of commerce city page. This information would gravely assist a military person on deciding where to live upon separation or retirement.

New site is located at http://www.militarytransitiontips.com and experts are welcomed to submit articles that link back to thier respective web sites.

"Key thing to remember, a military person leaving the military experiences many different transitions simultaneously. It's not just about leaving the military, it's about learning how to adjust to civilian life", commented Johnetta Matthews, "Timely information is the key to their success".

Johnetta Matthews served in the military for nearly 22 years and has dedicated her life to helping people transition from the military. For more information visit www.veteransinmotion.com and www.veteransinmotion.blogspot.com .


Summary:

The largest frustration with leaving the military is lack of timely information. Johnetta Matthews, military transition coach, served the military for nearly 22 years and has launched a military transition tips article web site where people leaving the military can research a wide variety of information and businesses can submit their articles free to our men and women in uniform with a reciprocal link.

As many of you may know, we've started an article directory
at Military Transition Tips. The previous post shows our
published press release requesting articles to be read
by people transitioning out of the military and for
military veterans.

There are so many benefits to submitting artictle to
an article directory. Submitting an article to an
article directory allows for the author to have
free viral advertising. The key is to submit
your articles to as many article directories that
you possibly can. (Key point to upcoming military and
veteran business owners).

Most article directories are not niche specific such
as ours. When you submit articles to our article directory,
it's specifically for people leaving the military or who are
experiencing a military transition.

If you have a business (even if you're a military
person or veteran) you'll benefit tremendously by
submitting articles to our directory.

Many of the benefits are listed in the below article.
Keep in mind, articles submitted to our Military
Transition Tips Directory are subject to be
posted on this blog. Please keep this in mind.
We will advertise free for you if the article can
relate to a military person, veteran, or their
families.

The below article is one of the many articles in our
Military Transition Tips Article Directory. See the below
article, Benefits Of Article Marketing for article marketing:

Benefits Of Article Marketing

In the real world, advertising is synonymous with more
expenses for the business enterprise. TV spots, print ads,
promotional campaigns… companies will have to spend just
to get their business message to as many people as possible.
Thankfully, online ventures are not beholden to such a rule.
The World Wide Web provides so many channels wherein
marketing campaigns can be launched without having to type
in your credit card details. Amazing, isn’t it?

This is the reason why Internet marketing has blossomed to
what it is today. It is very accessible to many people, as steep
financial investments are more of the exceptions rather than
the general rule. Indeed, there are many avenues on the
Internet that would allow a business with an online presence
to advertise its offerings.

One of these amazing avenues, and quite possibly, the most
cost-efficient and powerful of them all, is article marketing.

By its very label alone, you would immediately get the idea
that it has something to do with writing articles. This is correct.
You see, by writing articles about the subject matter relevant
to our business, and by distributing the same to the many
channels in the World Wide Web, we will be able to reach so
many people and each of them would regard us as experts
in the field.

Still confused as to how article marketing works? Here is a
step-by-step guide that would teach you the ins and outs of
this fantastic marketing strategy:

Write a premium, highly informative 300 to 1,200 word
article about the subject of your business. If your business,
for example, is concerned with dog care, you could write an
article about proper dog grooming.

Include a resource box at the end of your article. Your
resource box is a concise summary of who you are, what
you’re about, and could also have a link to your website.

Submit your article to the many article directories that
can be found on the web.

Every time a person gets to read your article as displayed
in the article directories, the link to your website would be
exposed and there is a higher likelihood of gaining more
unique visitors for your web pages. These article directories
are seen by millions of people each and every day, as they
are easily indexed by the search engines.

The philosophy behind article marketing is a tactic popularly
referred to as back linking. Since getting indexed in the search
engines is quite a difficult chore, and often, the results would
take months before they could bear fruit, a lot of Internet
marketers have resorted to back links to get a piece of the
search engine pie.

Back links are links to your website which you manage to
display in other sites that have a high Page Rank (PR) in
the search engines. It’s almost tantamount to piggybacking
your way to instant online prominence.

There are so many benefits that can be derived from article
marketing. Do consider the following:

If you could write your own article, it’s a free marketing vehicle.

If you can’t write your own article, or if you simply don’t have
the time to prepare a piece, you could always hire a ghostwriter
to write one for you. The going rate for a standard 500 word
article is 3 to 10 dollars.

Including your link in the resource box would make it visible to
the many people who would get to read your article. This could
potentially equate to an equal amount of new traffic for your site.

There is always a chance that your article would get picked up
by an electronic newsletter, called an eZine, and this would expose
your link to new audiences which could also result in new traffic for
your web pages.

There is also a chance that your article would get picked up by a
printed publication, and the readership of the same would get to
know the products or services which your business offers.

By writing a highly informative piece, you’ll be able to brand
yourself as an expert in the field in the eyes of your readers.
They’ll get to trust you with their needs, whenever they would
arise. This is pre-selling at its finest!

With all that is going for article marketing, there should be no
questions as to why it is heralded as one of the most potent
marketing strategies today. Try it out and elevate your advertising
campaign to the next level, all without spending a single cent at that.

Wow,

Let me let you in on something first hand. Have you every noticed
that on many job sites, a job can advertise at a certain salary, then
when you click for details, a lower salary is offered?

Be very careful when applying for positions. If you decide to have
an interview, make sure you fully understand what the position
involves and the salary that's being offered.

We don't want to think that an employer wants to intentionally
deceive us, yet we may have a family depending on us and we only
want to look after ourselves and know the details.

This is just a tip for your upcoming job search. Information is
key. Best wishes with your job search.

can be very helpful for your job search and more. This is one of the articles
from our Military Transition web site.

Dressing for Successful Job Interviews

The first thing an interviewer will notice about you is how you're dressed.
Even before you say hello or shake their hand, they are starting to form an
impression of you based on your appearance. This week's job searching tip
deals with making sure you are dressed properly for interviews.

It's estimated that people gain meaning more from non-verbal cues in
conversations than from the actual words exchanged. Therefore, how you
present yourself in an interview will have a significant impact on how the
interviewer perceives you.

If you're applying for a job as a manager, the interviewer will be trying to
decide how you would be perceived by subordinates and other managers.
Basically, they're asking themselves, "would this person fit in?" One way to
figure out how best to dress to fit in would be to visit the company ahead
of time for some "surveillance" work.

If you hang around outside the company's parking lot, you could observe
how most people dress there. Of course it's best not to be conspicuous - if
the interviewer saw you hanging around their parking lot a few days earlier,
they might think you're strange!

There are some basic rules that everyone should follow when
going on a job interview:

- Your goal should be to look clean, healthy and successful.
- Make sure you don't have bad breath. Nobody wants to work with
someone who smells bad.
- On the other hand, don't overdo it with aftershave/perfume.
- Always err on the side of conservatism. Men should
wear conservative ties for interviews and women should opt for a more
conservative blouse.
- Your hair should be clean and neat.
- Your nails should be clean and a reasonable
length.
- Women should wear tan or light hosiery.If you know people who work
in a similar company (or the same company) in the same location, talk
to them about how people dress for work. Especially if you are moving
from another part of the country.

For example, lawyers in California often dress a bit more casually and
wear less conservative ties than lawyers in New York. Be sure to follow
rules of etiquette when on the interview itself. Give the interviewer a
chance to offer you a seat. If you're wearing a suit jacket, don't take it
off in the interview.

Remember, an interview is partly a formality. Especially if the
interviewer is a human resources person or other staff member who is
not very familiar with your field, you may be judged much more on
your appearance and how well you conform to the "picture" of what a
good interviewee should be like than on the content of what you say in
the interview.

A great movie about creating the right appearance is the recent Steven
Spielberg film, "Catch Me If You Can," which starred Leonardo Di Caprio.
In the movie, which is based on a true story, Di Caprio plays a con artist
and counterfeiter named Frank Abignale, Jr. Frank is able to work as an
airline pilot, a doctor and a lawyer all because he is able to come across
like he fits in. Even though he was only 16, he knew enough to do his
research ahead of time and create the right appearance.

One of the great lines in the movie is when Frank says to the detective
trying to catch him, "Why do you think the Yankees always win? Is it
because of Mickey Mantle? No, it's because everyone's busy watching
the pinstripes."

Shorten Your Military Transition Timeline

As many have noticed, our Military Transition Tips Web Site
is now restored.

For several months, our site has been hacked on several
occasions. This is just another strike on how many people
may not understand the needs of people leaving the military.

We are working on a project that will eliminate the hacking
of our Military Transition Tips web site so we can make the site
available for your viewing.

We apologize for the interruption of service. Believe me,
we are on top of it. Thanks for your patience.

"What Do You Do For Work?"
By: Doreen Banaszak

I remember being asked this question a lot when I was
dissatisfied with my career. My usual strategy would be to
give a pat answer and immediately turn the question back
on the person who asked it.

My avoidance of the question wasn't so much.......

By the beginning of the year, the Article Directory
will no long exceed it's bandwidth. It's became so
popular that we are still working on the project.

We'll keep you posted once the issue is finally
resolved. Until then, see our archives and stay
tuned for updates.


Merry Christmas

Happy New Years Comrades,

We've finally reached a solution with the
Military Transition Tips' Article Directory
at http://www.militarytransitiontips.com.

It's amazing how a web site can become popular to
the point that the bandwidth exceeds repeatedly.

Last week we accepted 34 new articles and today
we approved at least 2 articles for the directory.

Why is the directory important? Many of us would
like to have a resource to read various topics. When
we're in the military, we primarily focus on the
military. As we leave the military, our focus
changes.

We apologize for any inconveniences. Have a great
2007!
