When Hazel Marie Puckett and her 9-year-old son, Little Lloyd, show up on Julia Springer's doorstep in Abbotsford, North Carolina, Miss Julia receives the shock of her long and proper life. After 44 years of marriage to pillar-of-church-and-community Wesley Lloyd Springer, she discovers that while she had assumed he was working late at the family bank, he was engaged in other, more carnal, pursuits. For, as Hazel Marie shyly explains, Little Lloyd is Miss Julia's late husband's son. His arrival in Miss Julia's life sets off a chain of events that involves a hypocritical minister, a violent beating, a crooked televangelist, a high-speed car chase, a kidnapping and a surprising revelation about her late husband's will. Miss Julia not only speaks her mind but also comes to a deeper understanding of the meaning of love, friendship, and trust.

"You Know When the Men Are Gone" by Siobhan Fallon
Hollywood and news outlets paint a graphic picture of war, but author and army wife Siobhan Fallon shows us what real families endure. In this collection of poignant and beautifully written short stories, the heavy burden of military wives becomes clear. The women left behind at Fort Hood are linked by absence and an overriding fear that they'll become widows. From a Serbian war bride who is unable to cope with the loneliness of her outsider status, to a wife who must come to terms with her husband's probable infidelity in Iraq, these stories ring heartbreakingly true.
February 1
"Now You See Her" by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge
A successful lawyer and loving mother, Nina Bloom would do anything to protect the life she's built in New York—including lying to everyone, even her daughter, about her past. But when an innocent man is framed for murder, she knows that she can't let him pay for the real killer's crimes. Nina risks everything she's earned to return to Florida and confront the murderous evil she fled 19 years ago. In a story of wrenching suspense, James Patterson gives us his most head-spinning, action-filled story yet—a Hitchcock-like blend of unquenchable drama and pleasure. (Please note: This month's book has been changed from "Factory Girls" by Leslie Chang.)
January 4

After a terrible accident, 47-year-old Christine Lucas awakens each morning believing she is still in her twenties and single. She doesn't recognize her husband, doesn't remember that she had a son and is appalled by her wrinkled face and old-lady clothes. Slowly, Christine learns that she has amnesia and is unable to remember her past or retain new memories. Every night when she falls asleep, the slate is wiped clean.

Gainward GeForce GTX 460 1GB Goes Like Hell (GLH) Edition in SLI
Temperature Test
With the TES 1326 Infrared Thermometer literally in hand we found ourselves getting real-world temperatures from the products we test at load (3D clock speeds).
There are two places we pull temperature from - the back of the card directly behind the core and if the card is dual slot and has an exhaust point we also pull a temperate from there, as seen in the picture.
Heat on the cards are impressive. Like the MSI GTX 460 768MB Cyclone SLI setup, it's nice to be dealing with two identical coolers.

Feeling stressed? Check out how Katya dealt with a particularly stressful time in her life.
By Katya Rivers, age 15, FL
Categories: Health, Loss
My life was going great. I had nothing to worry about. I couldn't complain about anything. My grades were good, and I got along with my teachers. My relationships with my friends were strong, and I was getting along with my family. I was achieving my goals, and everything was in place.
But soon my life would flip upside down. Coming back to my boarding school after winter break was when everything changed. The first week of being back at school, I began to deal with stress. I was overwhelmed. Everything was thrown at me at the same time, and I couldn't deal with all of it. My grades began to drop. I began to drift from my friends: we weren't agreeing on much, and our conflicts seemed to grow more and more. I was dealing with decisions that put more stress on me to the point where I would cry every night. To put the cherry on the top, I got sick. I was so weak that walking from my room to the bathroom made me tired, nauseas, and dizzy. The only thing that my body could handle was sleeping and just lying down.
Two weeks went by, and I began to worry. My illness was not improving. It seemed when one part of it would leave my body, another one would enter and make me feel even worse. Being away from my family made it so much harder; I felt alone, with no help from anyone.
So I decided to turn to God and ask for help -- to ask for the comfort of my mother and His love that would heal me and help me get my life back. But my illness manufactured doubts and fear. I was begging to be angry with God. I would ask Him, "Why are you testing me? Why are you doing this to me? Why are you not helping me?" I felt isolated and alone with no hope of getting better or getting my life back. I didn't tell anyone how alone and scared I felt.
Finally I decided to talk to my dad. He told me that I didn't need to fear or be angry with God. He explained to me that it was hard to improve in this situation because of my thought. I would have to clear my thought of all the negativity and doubt and reconnect with God. I would have to have more faith and trust in Him.
So I took his advice. I stopped worrying about what would happen tomorrow or about my grades and all my other problems. I stopped focusing on what was wrong with my life or on trying to find some human way to fix my problems. I simply placed my problems into God's hands and trusted Him with fixing all that was broken. I trusted God to eliminate my loneliness and fill my heart with comfort and love. All I had to do was strengthen my faith in God.
Soon my life began switching to the right road. My grades were getting better; my friends and I solved our problems; my illness disappeared; the sense of being alone and isolated from everyone left. I also learned that someone else I know had just gone through the exact same challenges.
I came to see that many people go through difficult times, and they resolve their problems by turning to God. I saw a relation between my experience and experiences of those in the Bible. One particular story stood out to me; it's the story of Job. Both Job and I had to trust and love God to be able to fix our problems.
In the Bible story, Job was described as "perfect and upright" (Job 1:1). He had everything a man would desire to have. Job "feared" (or trusted) God. But then, a lot of unfortunate events happened to Job. After losing his animals and servants, "a great wind from the wilderness" tore down the house, and the walls collapsed on his children (1:19). He lost everything. He was left with nothing; he was alone, full of fear. But the Bible tells us, "In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly" (1:22). Despite the devastating events, Job maintained his faith in God. Job got everything back -- but even better. His trust in God blessed him.
This story was helpful to me. I didn't have faith in God for some time. I didn't trust that God would solve my problems. Sometimes we have to be shown that trust and faith in God do make a difference. My life was restored, too. I learned that such trust enables us to achieve anything. Our relationship with God is extremely important. I rediscovered my relationship with God.

A Brief Respite
I'll be back in about a week, refreshed and, I sincerely hope, in one piece, to kill some time with you. You all come back now, here?
Jumping around all nimbly bimbly across the liberal blogosphere
"Al-Jazeera's orientations are largely vague Arab nationalist, although people in the West would be surprised to learn that people in the Middle East are convinced that Al-Jazeera is run by the Mossad. People in the Middle East do not find Al-Jazeera to be "nationalist" enough. Furthermore, they do not like how Al-Jazeera features Israeli guests/propagandists. The news broadcasts are largely straightforward; the shouting and the anti-American sentiments are expressed on, or confined to, AlJazeera's talk shows that are widely watched. But they always match the anti-American guest with a pro-American guest."
"Al-Jazeera covers Bush and his administration very extensively, too extensively if you ask me. For the 11 hours of Bin Laden tapes that AlJazeera has aired since Sep. 11, it has aired more than 500 hours of Bush (or Bin Bush) tapes. They cover all his speeches live, and I have mocked Al-Jazeera (on AlJazeera) by saying that they cover the sneezes of US officials now."
GEORGE Bush has banned Camilla Parker Bowles from the White House - because she is a divorcee.
The unprecedented snub has effectively sabotaged Charles's plan to take his bride on a Royal tour of America later this year.
The trip would have been the pair's first official tour as a married couple.
But the US President - a notoriously right-wing Christian and reformed alcoholic - told aides it was "inappropriate" for him to be playing host to the newly-weds, who are both divorcees.
The decision was made even though the late President Ronald Reagan was divorced.
A Government insider said: "It was relayed to us from Washington that Mrs Parker Bowles would not be welcome at the White House.
"The Americans are aware that the visit will be subject to a lot of media attent ion and did not want the President drawn into what they view to be a public relations exercise.
"It's now uncertain if the visit will even go ahead."
Insiders point out that hosting a lavish Royal dinner for Charles and Camilla would be bad PR for President Bush because while Princess Diana is still much loved by many Americans, her ex-husband is seen and dull and aloof - and bothhe and Camilla are widely blamed for the break-up of his marriage.
The trip, which has been planned for three years, was being portrayed as a "trade mission" and Charles and Camilla were expected to dine with Mr Bush and his wife Laura at the White House.
Mr Bush's shock decision is the latest in a sting of crises to hit the couple. Charles was forced to abandon plans for a Windsor Castle wedding on April 8 after he discovered the Royal Family would have to let other couples get married there too.
The blunder saw the couple hastily switch the venue to the register office at Windsor Guildhall, sending the Queen into a rage. She summoned Charles to Buckingham Palace and torpedoed his plans for a swanky reception at Windsor Castle.
Charles's trip to the US would have been his first State visit to America since Princess Diana's death seven years ago.
The prince wants to win acceptance for Camilla and believed the US public might have taken her to their hearts if the visit was planned properly. The source said: "The potential fall-out from this decision could be massive."
"Ongoing problems in Iran, North Korea, and Syria demand a serious response. I'm sympathetic towards the position that, in order to send a message, the United States has to occasionally pick out someone and throw them up against the wall. I call this the 'Hama Solution.'"
"What's now required is something to shake up the situation. What's needed is something to convince the plotters of American power. Something needs to happen that reaches out to them and says, "Don't fuck with us. What's called for is an action so extreme that the whole world will get the message. What's needed is an action which screams out, 'attention must be paid.'"(Do they study Arthur Miller in Canadian Lit classes?)

General notice.
This document announces that the general program test regarding post entry amendment processing is being extended for a one year period. The test will continue to operate in accordance with the notice published in the Federal Register on November 28, 2000, as modified by the notice published in the Federal Register on February 20, 2003.
The test allowing post entry amendment to entry summaries is extended to December 31, 2004.Start Further Info

The Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced and described the post entry amendment processing test in a general notice document published in the Federal Register (65 FR 70872) on November 28, 2000. That notice announced that the test would commence no earlier than December 28, 2000, and run for approximately one year. On January 7, 2002, CBP published a general notice in the Federal Register (67 FR 768) extending the test for a one year period to December 21, 2002. CBP published another general notice in the Federal Register (68 FR 8329) on February 20, 2003, extending the test for an additional year to December 31, 2003.
This document announces that the test is being extended to December 31, 2004. The test allows importers to amend entry summaries (not informal entries) prior to liquidation by filing with CBP either an individual amendment letter upon discovery of an error or a quarterly tracking report covering any errors that occurred during the quarter. The November 28, 2000, general notice described how to file post entry amendments for revenue related errors and non-revenue related errors and the consequences of misconduct by importers during the test. It also provided that there are no application procedures or eligibility requirements. To participate in the test, an importer need only follow the procedure for making a post entry amendment set forth in the November 28, 2000, general notice.
Comments received in response to the previously published general notices have been reviewed and CBP continues to evaluate the test. Changes to the test based on the comments and the evaluation will be announced in the Federal Register in due course. The test may be further extended if warranted.

I spend much of my life in board meetings. Most of these I relish as opportunities to do good work with management teams, but over the years I have also been tempted to get up and storm out.
Here are three sure-fire ways to destroy board meeting dynamics and increase the chances that your beloved VC end his days early.
Variant 1: The weather report
Bluntly, we're not here to review what happened last month and what's happening next month for three hours. Board time is too valuable for that.
It's extremely comfortable for investors who like insanely detailed reporting on every little metric to keep asking for more to be included in the board pack until it's bloated out of all proportion.
Conversely, it's extremely easy for entrepreneurs who want to avoid discussing anything important to have 35 pages of reporting on everything from current results to revised forecasts to operational excellence or an excruciatingly detailed product roadmap.
None of this is helpful to decision making.
I once sat in a board room with a VC who would review travel expenses in minute details every month. The company was running out of cash at the tune of $500K a month and desperately needed to land a technical trial with a big telco. Way to focus on the right stuff.
I once sat in a board room with a founder who told me: "I don't disclose [a specific set of] KPIs to my board because I know they won't get it and will make my life miserable. Instead, I expanded the financial reporting section to fully cover the time allocated to the business review".
I felt for him, but I also didn't buy it. Life's too short and we're here to build great companies!
The bottom line: good companies are run on a few metrics and an elegant framework for decision making. Death by slide decks are for losers.
Variant 2: The Oxford Union debate
I can't tell you how many board meetings I have sat in where extremely smart people sat locked for hours in highly engaging debates about the intricacies of (your choice of distraction) (a) the benefits of micro-services architectures (b) the proper way to run multivariate testing (c) how to do accruals accounting (d) the proper running of an employee review process (e) the benefits of native over HMTL5 in mobile (f) whether the sign up button should be blue or red.
I usually learn a lot and enjoy myself, but no decisions get made. Take it offline. If you wanted to have great debates and demonstrate your verbal prowess, join the Oxford Union.
Variant 3: The executive team show and tell
Another pet peeve of mine is an easy trap to fall into; notably the board meeting that involves the entire executive team running through detailed update slides on their respective area.
Gorgeous slides which:
- they have clearly spent too much time preparing
- they are all keen to present in depth, and;
- elicit a ton of interesting questions from the board members.
Two and half hours later the all-important issue of CEO compensation is being dealt with in three and a half minutes because everyone has a plane to catch.
If you want your management team involved, by all means invite them, but make sure everyone understands it's not about them; it's about making good decisions that matter. Be inclusive, but don't let that detract from your decision-making goals.
Investors should also be mindful that a board can be intimidating and that they need to foster an environment of trust and collaboration. I have witnessed first hand a senior sales exec being dragged into a board meeting to explain why his quota was missed. It was his first and almost last time in front of the board : he threatened to resign in the days that followed. The CEO, understandably, was thrilled.
In my next post I will look at what a good board meeting should be like. In the meantime, I will put my rope back in the drawer in the hope y'all have read this post and took it to heart. And feel free to disagree, just do it in 3 slides or less :-)

Pedestrians Injured When Taxi Jumps Curb at Boston's Logan Airport
Early reports indicate that at least 10 pedestrians were injured to varying degrees when a taxi jumped the curb at Boston's Logan Airport at approximately 2 p.m. EST Monday afternoon, July 3, 2017. The taxi drove into a waiting area for taxi drivers at the airport, with all those injured identified as being cabdrivers.
Update July 6, 2017: The Metro Cab taxi driver who ran into a group of fellow can drivers at Logan Airport in Boston was questioned by Massachusetts state police the day of the incident and then released, pending the results of their investigation into the incident. The Metro Cab driver is identified only as a 56-year-old man from Cambridge, Massachusetts and will only be identified by name if charges are filed against him.
At this time the driver who caused the incident has been identified only as a 56-year-old man from Cambridge, Massachusetts and according to statements obtained by investigative sources is "a very nice gentlemen from his peers."
The taxi cab was thought to have only the driver aboard who has explained to authorities that the incident was caused when he stepped on the accelerator instead of the break. Investigators are characterizing the injury-causing incident as a "tragic accident" with no evidence of terrorism or of this being the result of an intentional act on the part of the taxi driver.

Those injured in the accident have been transported to local hospitals in the Boston, Massachusetts area with one person being in serious condition; three people sustained significant injuries and six others were injured to a lesser extent.
Reactions to the Logan Airport incident have been swift on social media, with some people quick to jump to the conclusion of terrorism at work, conspiracy theories and more:
Can we please wait to hear the driver's name before we jump to the terrorism conclusion?

Lance Bass will attend several Pride events in defiance of the mass shootings in Orlando, Florida.
The former NSYNC singer and LGBT rights advocate hosted a Pride party at the Spotted Pig in the West Village in New York this week, and plans to support as many events as possible to show people he is not scared in the wake of the tragic killings at Pulse nightclub.
Bass, who came out as gay in 2006 on the cover of People magazine, told PageSix.com: "People are living in fear right now, and I think it's very important to show my face at as many Prides as I can. I was in Denver. I was in LA. I'm going to be going down to Orlando... I think it's very important to show that we're not scared."
Bass made his comments at a dinner thrown by American Express and blog the Infatuation to launch the card's #ExpressLove campaign, which encourages users to share how they "express love" on social media and offers support for local advocacy groups, such as the Stonewall Community Foundation in New York.
The 37-year-old former pop singer also added that he appreciates his celebrity status has proved to be a positive, especially with regards to his coming out.
"I'm so lucky to have been in the public eye since I was 16, and I feel like a lot of the straight community got to know me," he added. "And so, by being very vocal about this community, I'm hoping I am changing minds, because now they know a gay person, and until you know someone, you can't really change your mind about that."
Bass and his husband Turchin made history when they became the first real-life same-sex couple to tie the knot on an American television network. Their 2014 wedding was broadcast on the E! special, Lance Loves Michael: The Lance Bass Wedding in February 2015.

Ever since last summer's whiz-bang Game of Thrones ending, with Daenerys, Jon Snow, and childless Cersei poised the square off for the ultimate battle royale, we've been on the edge of our seats.
After watching this trailer for Season 7, we're still there. Because we have absolutely no new information, except that it's a super cool trailer set to a James soundtrack. As the three main contenders make their way to their thrones, we're treated to a slowed-down version of "Sit Down", whose lyrics become suddenly heavy with meaning:
"Those who feel the breath of sadness/ Sit down next to me"
"Those who find they're touched by madness/ Sit down next to me"
Even without James along for the ride, we've got the straight-up chills from this shit. See for yourself

A consortium of 108 European laboratories coordinated by a French team ("Public Health and molecular epidemiology of diseases related to aging" UMR 744 Inserm-Lille-Institut Pasteur de Lille) led by Professor Philippe Amouyel (director of the 2010 FAID seminar) and a British team (Centre for Genetic and Genomic Neuropsychiatry, University of Cardiff) have recently identified five new genetic predisposition factors involved in the development of the disease.
The research was conducted by Inserm in close collaboration with the CEA (French national genotyping centre, CEA-IG-CNG), the Fondation Jean Dausset-CEPH and a European consortium of 25 teams.
The discoveries were made thanks to support from the Fondation Plan Alzheimer, which coordinated the research section of the plan, launched in February 2008, to fight Alzheimer's and other related diseases.

Gilmour selected
Kyle Gilmour of the St. Albert Rugby Football Club was selected to the Canada A lineup for the second annual Americas Pacific Challenge in Montevideo, Uruguay.
The tournament is designed for players to gain international experience before the upcoming test match fixtures.
Gilmour, 29, is one of two Albertans and one of five Calgary-based Prairie Wolf Pack players on the 28-man roster.
Canada plays Argentina XV next Saturday, Tonga A on Oct. 11 and the USA Selects on Oct. 15.
The high school rugby product of the St. Albert Skyhawks is a decorated forward – four caps in 7s and 15 caps in 15s for Canada – and was a flanker on the 2015 World Cup team.
The Edmonton Rugby Union's senior player of the year in 2009 and 2013, was also captain of the 2015 Canadian Rugby Championship tournament-winning Wolf Pack, and for Canada at the 2014 Americas Rugby Championship.
Gilmour returned to the pitch this year with the SARFC premier team and Wolf Pack after recovering from injuries suffered at the 2016 Americas Rugby Championship.
Golf provincials
Connor Ackroyd of the Paul Kane Blues teed up a silver medal at the Alberta Schools' Athletic Association golf championships.
The Sturgeon Valley Golf & Country Club member shot rounds of 72 and 75 for a two-day score of 147 at The Links at Spruce Grove and Stony Plain Golf Course this week.
The winner was Ethan Choi of St. Michael's school in Pincher Creek at 139 (70-69).
Last year at provincials, Ackroyd finished in a three-way tie for sixth at 153 (80-73)
Slowpitch Kings
The third time was the charm for the Watch and Jewelry Factory Diamond Kings in the St. Albert Men's Slowpitch Association playoffs.
The Diamond Kings (9-26) lost the last two championship series to the Strikers (13-17) after turning the tables in the deciding game in the best-of-three final by a score of 25-24.
All three games were decided by one run.
Brett Ferry made a clutch catch at the wall in the bottom of the fourth inning, followed by a tape-measure home run in the top of five.
The infielders were also catching everything in sight and Alex Sutherland ended the suspense by snagging a fly ball for the last out in the bottom of the seventh.
The Diamond Kings also defeated the Kamikazes (13-18) and Pound (13-17) in the playoffs to finish 6-2 in the post season.
In the seven-team open A & B pool, three A teams had their own playoff series and the B teams compete for playoff honours.

Avoiding Unnecessary Injury
Children's bathrooms should be designed based upon durability, safety and comfort. When designing your washroom for younger children keep in mind what physical limitations affect the child's mobility and perception of what the room is really for.
You must also remember that your child will grow up and the design features you install into the bathroom must be able to be easily removed when the child gets older and no longer needs them.
By taking into consideration the age and what the child can and cannot do for him or herself, will give you guidelines for a safe convenient bathing space .
These limitations will affect the amount of floor space, distance between fixtures, height and depth of shelves and countertops, location of storage, placement of safety grab bars (optional) and other bath features.
Open a dialogue with your children and find out what their problems are and what they enjoy about using your present family lavatory.
If you are not renovating the bathroom yourself, a contractor may be more open to your ideas if they know before hand who will be using the bathroom, especially if you have worked out a plan with measurements, fixture sources and accessories based upon your child's needs.
Take into consideration that children experience difficulties because of their shorter height and less firm grasp which all affect bathroom safety.
It's pretty much a given that children love water games so everything must be waterproof and must have water resistant finishes; rugs on the floor is not an option. For durability, ceramic tiles on the walls and floors will be able to withstand the blitz of dirty hands, crayons and plenty of water sports.
Getting a Grip on What Really Matters
Remember that the floor should be covered in a non-slip material such as studded rubber or cushioned vinyl. Scrubable paint and strippable vinyl wallpaper will also help with the cleaning up and replacement process if your child is extremely adventurous and creative.
Keep floor cabinets secure with child locks or latches to avoid your child inadvertently swallowing poisonous chemicals or getting unpleasant rashes from contacting skin irritants. Do not put coat racks or any free standing mirrors in the bathroom since these can be easily toppled by an unsupervised curious child.
Avoid purchasing products that are contained in glass, it would be an unpleasant surprise to you and your child if he or she is cut by some thing they have spilled or broken. Again, it cannot be emphasized enough that any medications, household cleaners and things with sharp corners should be kept out of the reach of small children.
All electrical outlets should be made inconspicuous and covered with plastic covers and make sure the bathroom door can be unlocked from the outside in case the child accidentally locks him or herself in. A lever handle as opposed to a round one would even be a better idea; it makes opening doors a lot easier in case the child's small hands are wet or slippery.
If your child is still an infant, ample counter space for the baby's bath tub and a sturdy changing table or area is without doubt a necessity. Also a flexible hose, attached to the faucet to fill the baby's bath or to aid in washing the infant would also be an asset in the child's bathroom.
Try to make the counter about waist height to reduce stain on your back and keep the whole experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Ample lighting is also a necessity not only for you but also for the child who is sometimes afraid of dingy under-lit places .
Individual differences will affect the designing of the child's bathroom, which is why it is important how the child or children will be using the facilities. Keep these principles in mind and you and your child should find using your bathroom a pleasant learning experience.
And just as an afterthought, pets are like children, following the same rules will keep your pets safe in your lavatory as well.

Handling an excellent professional is a lot easier compared to many people believe. If you've never ever worked with one in the past, it might appear a little overwhelming, yet the procedure is in fact relatively easy. Below are a few pointers on obtaining job performed with a professional.

You try for the work, go over specifics, as well as get deals from a number of. Select the one that matches your demands most ideal as well as suches as the cost, as well as you're prepared to go. Currently you could unwind and also view the job obtaining done.
Gather Contacts
A good idea to do is obtain the get in touch with info to numerous professionals prior to you require one. If you've obtained a straightforward task, like some roofing job that you require done, or a brand-new home window mounted, obtain a variety of possible specialists. Maintain them on data in instance you require them in the future.
The reason this is such a smart idea is that often you require a specialist in a pinch. Choosing an excellent one requires time as well as you need to take care to select a great one. It's not something you wish to remain in a thrill regarding doing. When you've had a couple of little tasks done around your house, you'll currently have a couple of great professionals you've dealt with in the past.
Bidding process is the trickiest place for the majority of individuals. The concept is to think about the rate of products, labor and also the cost of the company that'll be arranging the entire task. This could be challenging to compute on your own, yet it's something you've reached do right. Do not choose the initial proposal that you obtain. Constantly wait till you obtain a couple of quotes, and after that you could choose the one that seems most affordable to you.
Obtain It In Writing
A tricky one will certainly constantly inform you, "We do not should compose that, my word excellents." An excellent service provider will not be produced in any way concerning placing something in creating. Great provider are experts as well as they understand that every little thing ought to remain in creating.
One of the most vital idea of all is to obtain every little thing in creating. Anything that's not created in the agreement could be transformed. If your professional all of a sudden draws a switcheroo on you, there's very little you could do if it had not been created in the agreement.
A great professional is a fantastic trait to locate. If you're delighted with their job, inform everyone you could regarding them, as well as maintain them in mind for future tasks. An excellent company is something to hang into!
Constantly place a coating day in the agreement, also if it's simply a quote. Bad climate and also various other traits could maintain a work from obtaining done in a timely manner, yet there need to a minimum of be an approximated task end day, or it could drag out permanently.

text: Direct response advertising is a way of advertising which demands customers immediate response through a certain mechanism which is provided in the ad itself. This mechanism can be a variety of things. For example, one can respond to the ad via mail, where you receive a coupon which you cut and set out to the company. One can get a business reply card, or a free telephone number can be provided to the customer to call. Or a hot spot to click on the internet, which is probably the easiest way. There are some main characteristics of direct response ad. It is very different from mass media or brand marketing because nobody knows what made someone buy a can of Coke for example. It is measurable because the companies know which ad has response and which doesn't, therefore it is easy to change or drop the ad. It makes a specific offer because it targets a specific audience. Since this kind of advertising demands a direct response, people working in this line of business gets an insight in what you may be interested in. For example, you get a catalog about books, with good prices. Once you response to that ad, and maybe even order a couple of books, you will continue getting book ads, as well as any other ad which is related to that topic. Those can be magazines, short stories, comics etc.

Natalie Connor, from the University of Nottingham, offers advice on how to successfully apply for Vacation Schemes and Training Contracts.
I am writing this from the perspective of a law student who did two City Vacation Schemes last summer, endless Training Contract interviews, and eventually came out with two job offers at the end of it all. I've come to realise, as everyone eventually does, that there is an art to the application process, and so I'm going to attempt to set out, from my own experiences, what that is.
Getting a Vac Scheme or Training Contract is all about striking a balance between two very important things: Being confident, and being yourself, and this needs to come across on your application form. So what kinds of questions can you expect and how will striking this balance help you to answer them?
First Top Tip: Look at your skills
Well almost every application form will firstly require you to demonstrate some competency-based skills, whether it's an online form which specifically asks you for these, or a CV and Covering Letter process where you will implicitly be expected to evidence your skills. While the questions may range from 'give me an example of when you did _____', to questions which set out a scenario and ask how you would react, they both have a common theme: they want to draw out the skills you possess which compliment that particular firms' ethos and strategy.
The best thing to do firstly is to sit down with a notepad and list all your previous experiences, whether academic or not, and establish the transferable skills that you have gained from each of them. Even the most unlikely hobbies can provide a wealth of material for your application form, e.g. playing a University sport demonstrates that you are a team-player, and playing an instrument to a high level demonstrates that you are creative and self-aware.
So great! You can copy and paste your answers across multiple applications right?
Wrong. Not only will this dramatically increase the chance that you will refer to the wrong firm in your application (a sure-fire way to send it straight to the bottom of the pile, if not directly into the bin), but also, each firm will value certain skills and attributes more highly than others.
What skills are firms looking for?
The best way to ascertain what those prized qualities and attributes are is to consult the Graduate Recruitment website for the firm you are interested in. Some will very helpfully list what they are looking for in a good candidate. Others will be less explicit, but it should become clear as you read about the type of work they do and the calibre of trainees they recruit, what they value most.
For instance, if that firm has particular expertise in Corporate work, you can probably assume that they are looking for applicants with proven project-management skills, since Corporate teams work in tandem with many of the firms' other practice groups.
Equally, if the firm you are applying to has a strong international presence, then it may be apt to mention your previous travelling experiences, cultural curiosities, and any language skills you may possess.
By the same token, if you are particularly interested in IP work, then a scientific background is always useful, while a firm who specialises in Criminal Law may appreciate an account of your mooting experiences and court visits.
Second Top Tip: Provide evidence
My next top tip is not to assert that you possess particular skills without being able to provide robust evidence for that assertion. For example, as President of an SU Society, I can demonstrate practical leadership experience. As a successful mooter, I am also a seasoned problem-solver. Moreover, the fact that I can balance these commitments alongside my First-class academic average is a testament to my time-management skills and my diverse range of interests outside the curriculum.
These are but a few of the typical buzzwords which firms are looking for in your application form. To name but a few more:
- enthusiasm
- intellect
- interpersonal skills
- communication skills
- entrepreneurial skills
- team-working
- professionalism
- integrity
- articulacy
- passion for client care and client exposure
- relationship management
- innovation
- independence
- assertiveness
- and even 'sense of humour' (believe it or not)
The firm needs to know that they can trust you in an office with other lawyers, or in a meeting room with their most important clients.
The more evidence you present of your skills in practice, the better balance you strike between confidence and honesty. On that note, don't outright lie about your experiences on your application form. They may slip through the net at the application stage, but it isn't worth a partner calling your bluff in the interview – they can spot fabrication a mile off.
It is certainly worth noting that unless you are a bona fide genius, most firms will not consider candidates who have done nothing at University besides their degree, so if you haven't already, take up something new.
Third Top Tip: Commercial awareness
My next top tip is, even if the application form doesn't specifically mention it; try to incorporate any knowledge you have of the legal marketplace into your answers. If you can go one step further and link those market interests to the particular firm you are applying to, then this, in my opinion, is the epitome of 'commercial awareness' – knowledge of which is one of the first things firms look for in a candidate.
For example, the Legal Services Act has brought the issue of value for money to the fore, and firms need to be aware of this and react accordingly. You may therefore be encouraged to apply to a firm who has attempted to ensure their survival and so adapted to these changing market conditions, by e.g. introducing new flexible payment options for their clients, rather than unwaveringly retaining the traditional billable hour approach, which is increasingly regarded as out of date and out of step with the current financial climate.
Other recent developments include the Bribery Act, the after-math of the Lehman Brothers collapse and the new Banking Regulations, the Euro zone crisis, etc. Read newspapers and magazines which are brimming with useful articles about the legal marketplace and the repercussions for law firms, and talk to people.
In demonstrating commercial awareness, it may also be a good idea to investigate the firms' history and market position:
- Have they merged in recent years? Why?
- Why do they have offices doing certain things in certain countries?
- Who are their most prestigious clients?
- Who are their main competitors and why?
- Where is the firm headed?
Commercial awareness is not just about knowing what's going on in the world, but also establishing why that is relevant to the firm you are applying to.
Final Top Tip: Choose wisely
And so my final top tip is: research what the firm does and how they operate. Nothing is worse than citing your reasons for applying to them as 'you do commercial work', or 'the cross-border work you do is very interesting'. You could be describing any number of firms, either in the UK or anywhere else.
But if, for example, you did some work experience in an investment bank and really enjoyed it, this may be a good reason to justify applying to a firm with a strong financial practice.
Conversely, if you consider yourself to be open-minded about finding your niche in a firm, and are wary of being pigeon-holed too early, these may be reasons for applying to firms who take a more multi-specialist approach at trainee level, or have a greater variety of seat options.
If you don't have much previous experience to guide your preferences, think about the sort of person you are: If you want to do something different every day and hate maths, then Finance probably isn't for you. If you're a real people-pleaser and hate confrontation, then Litigation probably isn't for you.
On the flipside, if you thrive under pressure and like to feel part of the bigger picture, then a huge Magic Circle firm which recruits hundreds of trainees a year may be the perfect choice. If you really enjoyed your Employment Law module at University then this is also a good indicator of the sort of work you may enjoy at trainee-level and above.
This is another area of the form where you should be wary about copying and pasting answers from previous applications. Each firm is very different, and even if they have the same practice groups as another firm you have applied to, those groups may operate very differently. Your application should serve as proof that you have researched the firm thoroughly and can distinguish them from their competitors.
The main thing is to apply to a firm which you genuinely like, and therefore not waste the firms' time, or more importantly, your own. A two-year Training Contract can feel like forever if you hate the work you're doing or the people you work with, so try to attend an open-day with the firm, chat to trainees, 'network', ask questions, and so make sure you're applying to a firm for the right reasons.
All this is just the tip of the iceberg. The real thing to keep in mind and the main thing you want to articulate is:
– Why do you specifically like this firm?
– And why should this firm specifically like you?
Finally, if I've learnt anything during this whole process, it's that the 10% rule in business applies to law firm applications: If you're lucky, you'll get 10% back of what you put in. I applied to 20 firms for Vac Schemes and got 2, and applied to around the same number for Training Contracts and got 2 offers.
Some firms will like your style, others won't. Some will have an interview process which suits you, others won't. Don't be someone you're not just to get a Vac Scheme or Training Contract. If you've written a smart, honest application form and you're convinced you're perfect for one firm and they reject you, it's probably a sign that they wouldn't have been right for you anyway.
While I am not advocating applying to a million different firms and making no effort on any individual application, what I would advise is: start applying early, and apply to as many firms which are you are genuinely interested in as you can. You can submit what you think is the perfect application form and still get nowhere, and you'll probably find that the firm you end up working for isn't the firm you set your heart on in first year.
It's important not to take everything you read about a firm as gospel, and even more important not to take things personally. If you fall at the final hurdle, always ask for feedback from unsuccessful interviews so as to improve for next time.
Also, don't be fooled into thinking there's a rush to apply. I thought I was the average second-year Vac Schemer, but at both of my firms I was one of the youngest there, even after a post-Sixth Form gap year! You might be in this career for the rest of your life, so don't be afraid to take some time out, gain some more experience, and figure out what you want to do.
If you are unsuccessful at first, instead of giving up, dust yourself off and try again. It's ruthless out there, but ultimately, I believe that perseverance, professionalism and positivity ultimately pay off.

I confess that I have always been a jpeg shooter, trying to get the images right in camera, rather than post processing. I always concurred that a well exposed raw file would be better than a well exposed jpeg. However the advances made with in camera processing of jpegs, has made the raw-jpeg debate even harder to compare. With my switch to Fuji cameras over 18months ago, I was always amazed and blown away by the incredible jpegs that the X series delivers.
One of the other problems associated with the Xtrans is the problem with processing the raws. Given that I have been a Lightroom user since day 1, I find my workflow easier by sticking to one system. Given the issues Lightroom and Adobe had in getting decent results from a raw file, to me this just complicated things even more.
So when the new Lightroom update added raw support for the Xt1, I thought i would give raw a try. I have done a simple test compare a raw file processed in Lightroom, with the same profile attached as the jpeg file save with the raw. So my preferred camera profile for Jpeg is Provia, I chose that as my profile for the raw (changed withing Lightroom). I usually shoot slightly under the indicated meter reading as it protects any highlights from blowing.
The settings I used were applied to the Raw and kept the same for the Jpeg.
camera settings were auto ISO and auto WB
No exposure or contrast adjustment in Lightroom, just the following adjustments to the images in the develop panel
Shadows +75 Whites +57 Clarity +34
Sharpening 56 with a radius of 1 detail set at 25.
Here is the first raw file
The next file is the processed Raw
This next is the orginal Jpeg attached to the raw processed in camera using provia film profile
This image is the Jpeg file processed in lightroom
Fuji raw are now well handled when processed within Lightroom each file type printed well, if I were to be really nitpicky, the raw file looks a little smoother, the camera jpeg is sharper, even with in camera sharpen settings at 0 its still pretty sharp straight out the can.
Fuji raws take up more space, and consequently take longer to process and load. Bear that in mind if you've just shot 500 images.
The film profiles are easy to apply in lightroom, i found the monochrome profiles to be very nice, my preferred chocie for creating mono files is using the Silver fx conversion software, but I like the smoother tonal gradients in the raws, sometimes in Silver fx you can get some banding issues.
My point about raw-v- jpeg debate is that photographers should concentrate on taking a correctly exposed picture first and foremost, and should not rely on raw to save your bacon. Now that I have looked at the raw processing using Lightroom, I am now confident to shoot in either. I have not compared raw processing using capture one, or photo ninja as tbh I like my workflow being simplified within one programme, not several.
I am happy to continue using jpeg, from a quality point of view I feel its now simply too close a call to say one is more superior than another. However if you are in a difficult lighting situation I would change to raw, with the confidence that using the latest Lightroom update, it handles raw conversions very well.
Please bear in mind this is just my opinion using Lightroom to process a raw file, it was not shot as a definitive test, really just did it for me to form my own opinion. I have not used either Capture One or any other software so cannot comment on how it handles.

Changes to the NFL's concussion protocol could result in a loss of draft picks for teams who violate the new measure.
Changes to the NFL's concussion protocol will allow for heftier fines and a potential loss of draft picks against teams found to be in violation of the new measures.
The multi-tiered punishment system, effective this season, can result in a fine of up to $150,000 for first-time offenses.
Fines are set to a minimum of $100,000 for subsequent violations and could also require a loss of draft picks, should it be determined that a "club's medical team failed to follow the protocol due to competitive considerations," the league said in a statement.
Representatives from both the NFL and NFLPA [NFL Players Association] will be appointed to investigate potential violations and recommend a course of action.
Such an investigation "will not reach medical conclusions; it will only determine whether the protocol was followed".
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell ultimately has "absolute discretion" in determining the penalties.
The new policy comes in the wake of transparency concerns regarding the handling of in-game head injuries by team medical staffs.
Most notably, the Rams were investigated and ultimately not punished when Case Keenum suffered an apparent concussion and was allowed to continue playing in a November loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
The Rams' handling of the incident raised questions about the overall effectiveness of the NFL's concussion protocol.

An unexpected call came in earlier this week, sending me into frantic office cleanup mode. I tend to do two major sessions of office purging and reorganization each year, one in the fall as I catch up on summer work and get ready for year-end paperwork, and a second in the spring after all the tax jumble is ready to put to bed. It's slightly early for the former still, but since I have a last-minute auditor coming first thing in the morning (along with the fellow who hasn't finished making messes in my house), I'm chalking this one up to getting more prepared for year-end craziness. It's nice to get things slightly more under control before the holiday insanity drives me to distraction.
As a college student, I spent a couple semesters working in my campus legal office, where two of my primary duties were copying reference and course materials, and following my boss around, pulling out staples from his messy stacks of papers and refiling everything. There was a bit of a friendly war going on, as the paralegal I answered to preferred everything to be neatly arranged, in reverse chronological order, and alphabetized, and my boss was a topical organizer, meaning that items relevant to a specific topic got chucked into a file of that name at random. Their truce of sorts mostly involved me spending a lot of time on student and client files and staying out of his personal office drawers until the rest of the office staff decided they couldn't wait any longer to send me in there with a staple puller and a shredder bin.
In short, I am now very, very good at organizing a file drawer, and the system I now use seems to be something of an amalgamation of the two. I like things to be alphabetical in theory, but in practice, I tend to organize by topic. I have colored files, and a highly accurate ability to recall which color folder a given client or project's file is in, and what the label will say, but I don't typically "color code." I like to break things up in the drawers visually instead of having rows of the same color. By nature, I am much more like my old boss. I'm not the neatest person you'll ever meet, but at least my husband and most of my family have cut back on the biohazard jokes.
Whether you're a born neatnik or a walking Pigpen,however, if you do any serious amount of contracting work or home office work, you're going to generate a lot of paper. All that paper has to go somewhere, particularly since the government says you can't get rid of some of it for a few years. And while I'm a big fan of digital storage, I still believe in maintaining backup copies. (I prefer to have backups of my backups of my backups, but that's another story.)
If you work from home, you need a designated office space. Although there are a lot of things you can do to create a functional home office on the cheap, there is one purchase you shouldn't skip. You need a file cabinet.
They don't have to be expensive. You might be able to get by with expandable accordion files for a little while. You might find a storage bench or crate or some other unusual object to hold your papers. A banker's box or a Rubbermaid bin might do the trick, short term. For long-term storage, however, you will need to come up with something that can hold a good deal of paper while keeping bugs, mice, and water out. I once found a standard metal cabinet used for $25, but I also like large, lidded plastic tubs, as long as they're in a secure location.
How do you tackle your storage problems?

Donkey basketball is a variation on the standard game of basketball, played on a standard basketball court, but in which the players ride donkeys. A donkey basketball game is usually staged as a one-shot fundraising event, typically in public schools. Commercial farms provide donkeys and equipment, splitting the proceeds with the hiring party. Donkey basketball has been practiced in the United States since the 1930s.
Donkey basketball has been targeted by animal rights activists who claim that the sport is cruel to animals,[1][2] for reasons such as the inexperience of participants with handling the donkeys. Promoters counter that the events are supervised and the animals are treated humanely.[3]

Poster I-1 at Cosyne 2018
My approach to Organic Learning will be presented in a poster at Cosyne 2018
Look for it at location I-1 in the March 1st Poster Session
In this modeling study, simple patterns of local connections between neurons embedded in topographically arranged layers provide built-in object recognition capability to a spiking neural network. The strategy is inspired by recent detailed examinations of how connections between specific cell types and at specific dendritic locations implement computational functions in motion detection. For object recognition, straightforward structures create a sparse population code of topographically organized feature detectors. The main result of this study is that having such a structure allows a spiking neural network to learn to recognize objects rapidly and without assuming backpropagation of information in the network. Three dimensional structures that implement specific response patterns are illustrated, showing that for topographically organized neurons, certain patterns of connections are equivalent to computation. The resulting population code is easy to interpret, like the responses of visual neurons recorded in vivo, and the network is endowed with responsiveness to appropriate stimuli from inception rather than being initially random in its responses. Because of these characteristics, such structures may serve as means of enabling object recognition in visual systems with most of the necessary information transferred in the genome, and only limited task specific learning after an individual organism is born. This breaks with the standard of statistical learning theory but reflects the observation that most organic brains must compete to survive immediately upon birth, with little chance to learn. A secondary topic of the study is that the network design relies on the equivalence between certain classes of binary and spiking neural network models, and the biophysical limits on this equivalence is explored. This method of analyzing spiking neural networks may be applicable to a broad class of networks.
