Fellowship FAQs
This year, we're hiring for consulting Fellows in Amsterdam, Cape Town, London, Mumbai, São Paulo, and Washington DC.
The Fellowship starts the week of June 10, 2019 with an in-person New Hire Orientation in New England, USA.
The Fellowship, and employment with Vera in general, is a full-time commitment – your Fellowship lasts for your first year at Vera, but you will also have a job title separate from Fellow (e.g. Associate Consultant) and remain employed beyond that as long as you have demonstrated growth and continued commitment to developing your technical, project management, and communication skills.
Fellows are full-time staff and integral to the company's success — 85% of Fellows to date have stayed on as full-time employees after their first year at Vera, and have grown to take up leadership positions in technical design, project management, and business development.
It depends on the projects on which you are staffed. Vera staff may travel to client sites in the discovery phase of a project (to determine client needs) or to deliver training to users. Though it varies, consultants may go on up to three international trips per year in their first year at Vera.
The Fellow Training is integral to your success as a Fellow – part play, part work, the training allows Fellows to connect with colleagues from around the globe as they learn the basics of Vera's approach to project management and system design. It is an important opportunity to build connections and learn how we do what we do.
We make exceptions in very rare cases, but in general, candidates need to attend this orientation in its entirety, and begin working full-time at their Vera hub shortly thereafter.
Yes! As with all members of our team, Fellows receive compensation commensurate with the cost of living and receive all of Vera's company-wide benefits.

There are so numerous different workouts out there that it is nearly impossible to try them all. Benefit of yoga is that it leaves you fresh and new every single time you are carried out with your yoga workout. Extremely swift weight loss can not be experienced with this strategy, but a sizeable adjust can be created which can be maintained for a extremely long period of time. Hatha yoga includes placing your self into a range of distinct positions, some a lot more challenging than other people.
Your first step is to uncover a yoga for weight loss class – these have now become accessible at numerous yoga studios. You can locate books also based on this such as Richard Hittlemans 28 day workout plan which assist newbie's and novices to get maximum rewards and results via daily practice in their first month. Considering that these are some of the greatest worry places for men and women that are overweight, this particular pose is extremely important to add to your yoga routine.
For physically active people, for the duration of your yoga practice concentrate far more on these successful yoga asanas for weight loss from abdomen and thighs Progressively you can practice these asanas twice in a day, early morning and in the evening. Going to punishing extremes to attempt to shed weight has been verified over and more than again to obtain just the opposite. With circuit light weight education, I'd truly been more cardiovascularly fit by a hair, but again, I'd had this tradeoff: either be lighter or be stronger. Yoga increases the flow of blood to all parts of the physique and it helps in burning of stored fat in different physique components.
Others contain kundalini, which requires breathe operate and is very a bit various from other types of yoga. As you unwind, you start to ease the tension in your life, weight loss will begin to come about naturally.

Adhere to a simplified weight loss diet regime program based on your age, consuming habits, offered fruits and vegetables.
Eventually, the magic of yoga will do whatever it wants to do to get you to a place exactly where you really feel more authentically you. Apart from faulty dietary habits, one need to determine that weight gain also stems from inefficient functioning of different bodily functions. Standard yoga practice incorporates a modify in diet, along with the health positive aspects of yoga practice. Actually, there is no concrete scientific explanation on how yoga physical exercise assists you loose weight.

After being selected to showcase their signs as part of 'Made in America' week, Gordon Sign continues to receive recognition from the White House!
On the heels of representing the State of Colorado at the White House last week, our client, Gordon Sign, received a visit from United States Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta, who toured the country's oldest sign company as a continuation of the White House 'Made in America' celebration.
(Gordon Sign White House blog: https://brandiron.net/gordon-sign-represents-colorado-white-house-made-america-product-showcase-event/ )
The timing could not have been more perfect, either. Secretary Acosta was headed to Colorado as part of his tour of American manufacturers to discuss how the Trump Administration can support domestic manufacturing in Colorado and the nation as a whole. Major discussion topics included strategizing how US manufacturing can become more competitive as well as developing a more extensive training program to educate employees.
After sitting down with Gordon Sign to discuss how it can support manufacturing in Colorado, Secretary Acosta toured their 25,000 sq ft. main production facility in Denver. He met and talked with employees and learned firsthand how they make their award winning neon signs. For Gordon Sign, it's not only about what they can do, but how they do it. It was a great honor for our client to have the opportunity to share their remarkable process and story with the US Secretary of Labor.
Secretary Acosta's visit comes after Gordon Sign's revitalization, compliments of Max Fulton and Tom Kim, who acquired the company from a private equity firm after the recession had taken its toll on the sign industry. The business needed new leadership and direction along with some extra attention, love, and capital. With the new ownership group and leadership from Fulton and Kim, 2016 was Gordon Sign's best year in some time, and 2017 is poised for similar success.
Last week was an amazing opportunity for Gordon Sign and their employees to shine while showcasing some of their remarkable work on a nationwide scale. Their signs come from strong values and produce great brand expression that have stood the test of time. Brand Iron salutes the entire team at Gordon Sign for the exceptional work they create!

Netflix plans to double the number of hours of original programming on its platform next year, Variety reports.
Original programming on the platform should hit 1,000 hours in 2017 — which is a conservative estimate, and more than twice the current amount — as the company works toward its stated goal of having originals account for 50% of its catalog.
Netflix's original content strategy is playing out in several spaces.
- Unscripted shows: Ted Sarandos, Netflix's chief content officer, emphasized the importance of unscripted shows moving forward, noting that the company is set to debut 20 new unscripted shows in 2017. He's particularly excited about the potential for these kinds of shows to reach wide audiences in different geographies, as touched upon below.
- Cosmopolitan content: Netflix is focusing on content that can travel internationally, transcending borders and cultures. Sarandos highlighted a new unscripted competition show, the "Ultimate Beastmaster," which is produced by Sylvester Stallone and features contestants and commentators from the US, Brazil, South Korea, Mexico, Germany, and Japan.
- Original movies: The company wants to adapt its approach for creating TV events for the movie universe, and has an eye on creating franchises in the guise of Disney and Marvel films. Netflix has also made moves recently toward the traditional box office, releasing films on the large screen. In total, movies account for about one-third of viewing time on Netflix, Sarandos said.
- Staying off live: In response to a question about whether Netflix is interested in buying sports rights, Sarandos reiterated that the company isn't currently a platform for live programming. But while he dismissed the notion of bidding for existing league rights, he did raise the possibility of Netflix getting into creating its own sports leagues.
- Two-way street: Sarandos is wary of getting "trapped" into producing every piece of original content in-house, recognizing the merits of partnering with third parties and securing exclusive licenses for existing intellectual property. This collaborative approach helps Netflix secure a breadth of programming on its platform.
Over the last few years, there's been much talk about the "death of TV." However, television is not dying so much as it's evolving: extending beyond the traditional television screen and broadening to include programming from new sources accessed in new ways.
It's strikingly evident that more consumers are shifting their media time away from live TV, while opting for services that allow them to watch what they want, when they want. Indeed, we are seeing a migration toward original digital video such as YouTube Originals, SVOD services such as Netflix, and live streaming on social platforms.
However, not all is lost for legacy media companies. Amid this rapidly shifting TV landscape, traditional media companies are making moves across a number of different fronts — trying out new distribution channels, creating new types of programming aimed at a mobile-first audience, and partnering with innovate digital media companies. In addition, cable providers have begun offering alternatives for consumers who may no longer be willing to pay for a full TV package.
Dylan Mortensen, senior research analyst for BI Intelligence, has compiled a detailed report on the future of TV that looks at how TV viewer, subscriber, and advertising trends are shifting, and where and what audiences are watching as they turn away from traditional TV.
Here are some key points from the report:
- Increased competition from digital services like Netflix and Hulu as well as new hardware to access content are shifting consumers' attention away from live TV programming.
- Across the board, the numbers for live TV are bad. US adults are watching traditional TV on average 18 minutes fewer per day versus two years ago, a drop of 6%. In keeping with this, cable subscriptions are down, and TV ad revenue is stagnant.
- People are consuming more media content than ever before, but how they're doing so is changing. Half of US TV households now subscribe to SVOD services, like Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu, and viewing of original digital video content is on the rise.
- Legacy TV companies are recognizing these shifts and beginning to pivot their business models to keep pace with the changes. They are launching branded apps and sites to move their programming beyond the TV glass, distributing on social platforms to reach massive, young audiences, and forming partnerships with digital media brands to create new content.
- The TV ad industry is also taking a cue from digital. Programmatic TV ad buying represented just 4% (or $2.5 billion) of US TV ad budgets in 2015 but is expected to grow to 17% ($10 billion) by 2019. Meanwhile, networks are also developing branded TV content, similar to publishers' push into sponsored content.
In full, the report:
- Outlines the shift in consumer viewing habits, specifically the younger generation.
- Explores the rise of subscription streaming services and the importance of original digital video content.
- Breaks down ways in which legacy media companies are shifting their content and advertising strategies.
- And Discusses new technology that will more effectively measure audiences across screens and platforms.

- December 12, 2015
- Posted by: Reena Saxena
- Category: Personal Branding
You are watched, if you are successful. And you are on the path to success, if you are watched.
Mark Zuckerberg, with his penchant for the grey hoodie, and Liz Taylor, who travelled with 90 suitcases, have all been widely discussed in the media. It is living life in a fishbowl, where each detail is hungrily lapped up by the eager public. It takes an army of brand strategists, stylists and sponsoring designers, to take them where they are, and to project the image that they wish to convey.
Dressing Right is an art and science, and yet, not rocket science. The whole concept can be summed up in 7 elements of style, for an average person.
- The Magic of Neutrals
Yes, it starts with the blandest of all elements- the wardrobe neutrals. Incorporate basic pieces like trousers, shirts, skirts and jackets in classic cuts in these colors. This should comprise at least 70% of your wardrobe.
New colors like greige ( grey+beige) could be the rage of the month or year or decade. You can add your favorites to this row of colors, which can be easily combined with any other color.
- The Color-wheel concept
Stick up this color wheel charts inside your wardrobe, where you can see it, before pulling out your clothes for the day, to create combinations. Cardboard wheels are available with sliding tops, which help you in choosing the right color combinations.
The first wheel shows the primary, secondary and tertiary colors. The secondary and tertiary colors are derived by combining the primary colors.
- Analogous color scheme – colors adjoining each other on the wheel ( the monochrome effect)
- Complementary colors are colors diametrically opposite each other ( the contrast effect)
- Split complementary are colors to the left and right of the complementary color.
- The Triad pulls the split complementary colors one house further.
- Square are colors on 4 corners of the wheel.
- Tetrad are the colors forming a rectangle on the wheel.
Black, white and grey are termed achromatic colors, which can be combined with anything.
The color schemes from (c ) to (f), just add to the possibilities in the first two schemes, increasing the choice in combinations.
These colors form the 'accent pieces' to brighten up the look, when combined with wardrobe neutrals.
- Body Shape
This is the most crucial aspect of dressing. The color, cut and style should highlight the best parts, and conceal the less attractive ones. The basic principles can be summed up as follows :
- Bright and light colors highlight, and dark and deep colors conceal.
- Monochrome combinations would suit heavier and petite figures, since a contrast visually divides the body, reducing the length.
- Vertical lines in shape, structure, fabric or pattern add to the height. Horizontal lines do the opposite. Diagonal lines balance the body well.
- Minimize the broader parts with dark colors and firm fabrics. Add bulk to the thinner ones with bright colors.
- If the lower half is heavy, add details on the upper body to move the eye upwards. If the upper body is heavy, minimise detailing on the top, and draw attention downwards with interesting patterns and colors.
- The Effect of Layers
Layers are the jackets, coats, sweaters, shrugs, scarves and stoles added on to the basic layer. Strategic use of layers conceals the flaws in the body shape, and adds to the elan of the outfit.
Use them in different fabrics, cuts and styles to create a stylish outfit.
- The Level of formality
- Straight lines and cuts, dark and solid colors, pinstripes, sharp tailored styles, a contrast effect in the outfit are high on the formal scale.
- Curved shapes and lines, patterns, pastel colors, softly tailored styles, indicate approachability.
- Paisleys, polka dots, gingham, plaids, tattersall checks are all classic patterns. Stylized prints, animal and nursery prints, fancy prints like teapots, faces etc. are not appropriate for a formal occasion.
- In the Indian style scale, kurtas with mandarin collars and straight pants, or sarees in silk and cotton are considered formal. Soft, flowy fabrics are to be avoided.
- The skin show should be minimal in any style or outfit.
Choose the message that you wish to convey, before choosing your clothes.
- The Cluster Concept
This one has been done to death, and is yet, crucial to a hassle free working week. Create different looks on paper or your computer screen, with a few basic garments, the accent pieces and accessories, and arrange your wardrobe accordingly. A cluster of 5-12 garments can create minimum 20 looks for the month.
The pictures will give you a fair idea.
- Coordination and Accessorization
This creates the finished look. Accessories can either make or mar an outfit. Different styles of tying a scarf or necktie, arranging a pocket square, jewellery, shoes and bags are the vital elements.
Quite a lot depends on aesthetics and individual taste, rather than several pages of theory on the subject. Get as creative as you can.
Each of the factors above will need a detailed analysis by an expert, for a customized look. But a basic awareness of these factors can take you through your social and professional life with elan. Needless to say, pre-planning for the week and an organized wardrobe, helps in time management. Very few of us can afford several hours to dress for work, in the morning. This is hard work at the outset, that creates easy elegance later.
Happy Dressing !

13 Jul NIGHT RACE MUR I CASTELL – TUGA
On Friday, July 17, will take place the race III and nightlife "Garrut Font". Organized by the C.M.P Mur i Castell – TUGA, a race down the mountain that will pass through the municipal area of the Vall D´Uixò.
Arumani is a sponsor of this race, and the opportunity to be in contact with this type of sporting events and other groups, has led to the situation that is perfect to create a synergy between the event and the Association of syndrome of Phelan – McDermid, considered a "rare disease".
Meet Beatriz, mother of a child with the syndrome of Phelan – McDermid and the fight of it with his family by the research of this disease, to find a better quality of life for children born with the syndrome which is not known much information, motivated us to propose to the Organization of the race the possibility that will work with a small donation through enrollment.
What exactly is this syndrome?
It is a deletion of chromosome 22q13. It is caused in most cases by the loss of genetic material from the wire terminal end of the chromosome 22. The absence of this gene means that those affected suffer a delay in development in many areas, especially in the ability to speak. This mutation usually appears "novo".
Each case is different, but can be assumed:
- Intellectual disabilities of varying degrees
- Developmental disorders.
- Normal or accelerated, growth
- Hands large and fleshy, Dysplastic, long eyelashes toenails
- Reduced pain perception, frequent mouth movements.
- Absence or delay in speech.
- Symptoms of autism or autism spectrum disorder
Problems for the families?
- Solitude, the doctors do not know the syndrome
- Little or little support from Administration to research.
- Search for funding and researchers.
- Multiple medical and therapies.
What is it going to allocate the money raised?
It will allocate to the clinical trial with IGF1 in patients affected by the Phelan-McDermid syndrome. A clinical trial with IGF1 in the Hospital de la Paz with Dr. Pablo Lapunzina and Dr. Julian Nevado in collaboration with the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. In the United States is giving very good results and, from the Association, we want to raise the money to be able to start the vehicle and to help children with this diagnosis that will improve their quality of life.
C.M.P Mur i Castell – TUGA will allocate a euro of the inscription to the cause. It has also offered the possibility of "joint enrollment" in www.mychip.es of €5, for companies and individuals who do not participate in the race but want to collaborate. This amount will be entirely for the Association.
Inscriptions are open and you can book your place for this fearless night race down the mountain.
- Exit at 2145 hours from the track of Athletics of la Vall d' Uixó.
- Closure of goal to 24.00 hours.
- Distribution of race bibs from 20.30 hours in the same track.
- COMPULSORY MATERIAL: Front or flashlight
- The race has 11500 m approximately, with a positive slope of 450 meters.
- The route will be marked with reflective tapes. In most hotspots, crosses, the staff of the organization.

Character representation and the Unicode-based Reference Processing Model are described in detail.
HTML, including HTML5, XHTML, XML (e Xtensible Markup Language; for general markup), and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets; for styling information) are given particular emphasis.
It has a proven track record as an orientation for newcomers to the conference, but also appeals to people at intermediate and advanced levels, due to the breadth of concepts discussed and the way they are related to real-world script usage. The abstract that follows is for the 'Introduction to Unicode and Beyond' tutorial with the same presenters as for IUC40.

Simple Tips for Bed Linen Care
How to clean Bed sheets?
It feels decent to rest or lay on a clean arrangement of bed clothes. On the off chance that you stress that what you have destroys too quickly or that it is not cleaned appropriately, figure out how you can change this. A percentage of the things one can do incorporate putting resources into a couple of more combines, transforming them frequently and cleaning them regularly.
To make it simple for you to deal with your bedding legitimately, make sure to buy luxury bedding things that are produced using fabrics that you can deal with serenely. In the event that you don't utilize a clothes washer, abstain from getting those that should clean that way. Try not to utilize boiling point water, fade or iron it, if the fabric exhorts you against doing it.
Cleaning comforter and Bed Sheets :
It suggests that you change your bed materials at any rate once consistently. There are numerous advantages of thinking about clean bed sheets. It permits you to inhale effectively; the sheets are agreeable and it likewise improves you rest. Changing bed material regularly likewise makes it conceivable to save its great quality as it doesn't destroy excessively.
Make sure to have an additional arrangement of clothes for each bed in your home. It is a decent practice as it additionally keeps your sheets from destroying too quickly. You can consider washing your bed covers consistently, cushion cases at any rate once in at regular intervals and duvets, sofas and bedcovers in any event once consistently.
Keep in mind to take after the clothing proposals gave by the makers. On the off chance that you should wash bed materials in warm water, make certain to utilize that at all times without come up short. The utilization of cool water and a tender cleanser on bed sheets don't have any such clothing proposal or data.
Abstain from letting the materials dry out a lot in the sun. It can destroy the fabric after some time. Get them out from the garments line and fold them instantly. It keeps you them from wrinkling, and you can skip pressing the sheets or cushion cases.
It is shrewd to substitute bed clothes every once in a while. Try not to utilize one specific sheet at the base constantly. Turning them makes it workable for the bed sheets to destroy uniformly.
A decent night's rest begins with a polite bed. Since we burn through 33% of our lives in them, quaint little inns merit fitting consideration. They'll reimburse us with a clean, sound spot to rest.
The Pea Princess' Design to Bedding Attention
While the children's story" "The Princess and the Pea" was intended to demonstrate the delicacy of the genuine princess, as a general rule, it made a mockery of her future relative housekeeping propensities. Keep your château's bedding fit as a fiddle with these tips for sleeping cushion care:
Outline it right. Generally as our bodies require the backing of a decent sleeping cushion, so buy luxury bedding that require a legitimate spot to rest. Buy sleeping cushion and box springs as a set to verify that the two pieces will cooperate amicably.

So why review this movie from 2 years ago?
I just watched this on Hulu and have to say it is quite mesmerizing good hold on suspense. You really have no idea where the movie is going until the final scene. The beginning is a bit dry, real science before entering the world of science fiction, which is quite satisfying on the one hand with the brilliant feel of sucking you into the world we really inhabit and slowly morph it into something else.
Who are the villains?
Good question. The best part of the entire film is the endless mystery that is only resolved in the final scene. In the beginning, the testing is very clinical and average student laboratory feel. They could have used fancy, shiny labs like in other films like Flatliners, but I feel this edgy laboratory really feels like students work there. In the middle of the film, my wife and I were thinking should we turn it off? There are parts where there are repeated scenes or just kind of dead space in the middle of the film. Of course, with the endless mystery with no resolution, you just resign yourself to keep watching as you really have to figure this all out. The genius of the film is it is in perspective of Ana and you feel as if you are losing your minds with her as you live through her dream flashbacks of bits and pieces of what is really going on, but not sure of anything and at the same time the growing sense of paranoia. I think with some different editing you may have added some extra creepiness into the film, but overall is well shot. You leave quite satisfied of uncovering the mystery at the end.
Do you have art inspired by this type of film?
Not exactly. However, much of my Political Pop style has the sense of 2-3 dimensions to the story after you get deeper into the image. A good example is "Ride the Dragon on the Plains of Slaves". At first glance from afar we see Morpheus, the red pill and the Matrix code behind him, so you think ok its about a sci-fi film where computers take over the world. As you get closer you see the Matrix code spells out 61398, which happens to be a computer military hacking group in Beijing sponsored by its top leadership. Then if you look further you possible victims of the Chinese patent thefts in US high-tech corporations. In the end, it is on one side the closest trade partner of the US is China, but on the same token there is a simmering Cold War of stealing patents under the surface driving Chinese economy. Now that China is entering a new decade of dicatatorship under Xi Jinping, it will be interesting how China unravels into purges under his rule or some sort of power struggle later, similar to what happened under Mao's long rule.

Gear > Ski > Ski Touring > Touring Boots > Scarpa Matrix
The Matrix is the latest ski touring boot from Scarpa, the respected Italian mountaineering equipment manufacturer. Perhaps better known for their competition boots, the Matrix is designed to respond to ski mountaineers demanding both uphill and downhill performance. This sets it up against stiff competition in the form of the Garmont Mega Ride G-Fit.
The boot is a traditional low shell, three-clip + powerstrap design but responding to recent fashions in the alpine boot market it is moulded in translucent Peebax®. The colour is described as cedar, a kind of pleasant dull orange. The boot is compatible with the excellent Dynafit binding system, increasing the range of boots available. The boot can also be used, and was tested, with standard touring bindings. However the Scarpa Vibram® makes it unsuitable for use in standard alpine bindings, but why would you?
The shell offers a forward lean angle adjustable between 18 and 24 via an hex key at the rear of the boot. A moving indicator at the back of the boot shows the amount of lean that has been dialled in, so you can make sure that both boots are adjusted symmetrically.
One of the complaints of the Scarpa Laser was the soft forward flex with little progression. Some skiers found they lacked control and precision on descents, particularly in difficult conditions. The Matrix aims to address these problems. The shell is made from double injection Peebax and features a stiffer cuff. We certainly had no difficultly on steep boilerplate descents as you can see from the photo.
Scarpa Matrix Ski Boot
The lack of height in the shell, especially when compared to the Megaride, is compensated for the new Scarpa Plus Fit XXT thermoformable liner. This is made from hard foam, as it should be for touring use. With the powerstrap this offers quite a bit of extra support
The fitting process is an experience in itself and we would seriously recommend visiting a good boot-fitter with a range of touring boots, not just the Matrix. We found the shell fitted a larger foot than the Megaride. Scarpa are known for a high heel-arch. The thermoformable liner will never be comfortable until baked and will even pack out a small bit in use. A proper shell test is more important than ever as you won't be able to rent the boots, at least not with the thermo liner. The Scarpa website states that the boot is available in sizes 4.5 to 13 with half sizes. However shells and inners are actually only made in whole sizes. The claim is that the thermo boot will pack out at least a half size so there is less need for intermediate sizes. The smallest size should please women who are not that well catered for.
Scarpa Matrix coupled with Dyanfit Comfort bindings
Normally our tester takes a size 42 (European) city shoe. This translates to a Mondo 27 but he normally skis Mondo 26.5. The Matrix 27 boot felt distinctly loose, not a good sign in the shop and a shell test revealed a good two and a half fingers behind the heel. The 26 Mondo boot (remember no 26.5) was a much snugger fit, just a finger and a bit behind the heel. The thermo liner was going to have its work cut-out.
The liner has to be baked in an oven at 140C for ten minutes. During this time the shop will put a special sockette, which covers the end of your foot and, optionally, bits of card between each toes. This will make space while the liner cools. You then put on your ski socks, thinner being better these days. The piping hot liners are replaced in the boots and you wiggle your feet inside, the boots are buckled and you stand around while the lining sets. Your feet really are very hot for a short while and it is impressive to see just much the lining adjusts. It is then recommended that you ski a few days after which you can re-bake the inners, if required, perhaps with packing on pressure points.
Scarpa Matrix in action
Well the proof of the pudding is in the eating. First off, the boots are light, just under 3.1kg per pair for 26 Mondo1 (3360grams in size 27). The old saw is that every 100 grams off your feet is worth 300 grams in your backpack. At around 800 grams lighter than our old Nordica TR10s that equates to a virtual 2.5kg saved. Most of this is in the very light inner boots. The shells still feel nice and rugged, especially compared to the flappier Garmont MegaRides.
Apart from the usual canting, which I always set midway, the walk/ski position has been augmented by a 'soft' option. This gives a certain amount of fore-aft movement when skiing but prevents you physically falling over backwards. Some people like this when skiing softer snow and powder but we found it something of a gimmick. The walk position is in the midway point and even after our extended test the lever was stiff and would frustratingly switch from ski directly to soft and back again. Much cursing and fiddling would eventually get it into the desired walk.
The buckles are high quality metal construction with micro-adjustment on the toe but the trademark heel buckle still uses a flexible wire loop, which is supposed to run over a pair of guide channels but never actually does (not even in the Scarpa publicity photos). It doesn't seem to make any difference to the performance of the boot but is aesthetically unpleasing. The black powercuff can be a bit fiddly at times, but nothing like the nightmare of the Nordica TR portfolio system. It is easy to get your foot in and out of the boot but we wouldn't suggest walking around in the inner boot, better to pack slippers. Naturally the boot accepts a ridged crampon and climbs well when needed.
Less pleasing were the natty silver decals. These fell off after a couple of outings and we feel it would be better to mould the canting positions into the shell. The dealer also fits special waterproof patches over any rivet holes in the shell. Again an icy stream crossing showed us how well these worked, not! The solution is to replace with duct tape.
To summarize, the Matrix is a modern looking, high performance ski touring boot. Some minor quality issues aside it works well and offers an alternative to the Garmont-Megaride. It is doubtful whether the boot will satisfy demanding freeride skiers but it provides a step up in performance for the rest of us. After one baking and 10,000 meters we didn't feel that the thermo liner adjusted completely for the missing 0.5 boot size but it was comfortable enough. We were the only person in the group without blisters. The inner boot was warm, we wore nothing but a thin silk ski socks in some rather cold conditions and had no complaints. This also meant a more precise foot-boot-ski interface.
The Matrix extends the range of boots available for the Dynafit binding system. The price, around 325 Euros, is not cheap but comparable with similar boots on the market.
The ski/walk/soft switch which we found so fiddly has been dropped on the newer boots. We have also met a number of other people who found that the thermolining didn't pack out a full half size. As with other thermofit boots be realistic about how much the liner will compensate for a boot that is unfortable in the shop.

How can you keep up with it all? How can you possibly keep track of who's saying what to and about whom? Do you need one service or 10? Will free services work, or do you need subscription services?
Here are some tools I use and recommend to help you keep track of your brand, your products, your industry, and even your social networks. There are new ones all the time, and I'll tell you about the ones I test as we go along. The best thing to do is to check out some of these and see which ones work best for what you want to know and do.
Social Mention – searches user-generated content and tracks mentions of your brand across top social media sources such as Flickr, YouTube, Digg, Delicious, Twitter, social bookmarks, news, videos, and more. Like the other services, you can subscribe to your results by RSS or email.
Compete.com – (free and paid versions) analyzing what consumers do across the entire web, not just what they do within a particular site.
Marketers can use this rich information across the entire company, not just for online media planning or site design decisions. Compete Pro is the enterprise version.

You have a good list. Google alerts is another mainstay.
We have Techrigy SM2 in both freemium & prof versions. The advantage is that aggregates all of the conversations (including blog comments) into one dashboard & providing analytics for them. It's another tool to try as you get started.
Community Strategist, Techrigy
Thanks for the list, I added a few new tools to my toolbox.
Question – Have you found any paid services to be truly worth paying for them, vs the variety of free tools that are available?
Thanks for sharing. I agree with Connie on Google Alerts. Many of my alerts are blog posts. Is there an advantage to using Backtype over Google Alerts for this?

Bit by bit, we are learning how to communicate at a level that truly amazes me with Danny. As his reading grows, he is becoming empowered… He needs to work on writing still, but come on, he's only 5… The stuff we are seeing now really makes me believe he will be fully communicative with an assisting device in time.
Until then, our house is becoming full of white boards, chalk boards, and scraps of paper.
Today, it was the bath. I put him in and he just wanted to stand and cry in the corner. "All done bath! I want all done bath!" Usually he's fine with the bath these days, so it threw me off. I did a quick clean on him, he refused to help, and once he was out and dressed I asked him to come over to the board. I read the question and handed him the pen, and he answered.
Months ago, I would have been left in the dark. Now, he can tell me. I asked him if he could tell me what he was scared of, and he looked at me sadly. "No." So I started asking questions, yes or no, and a few in I found it: "Was it scary because of the new shower in the bath?" "Yes!"
Change is scary, I know this – I had anticipated, for instance, him struggling when we got the new car – but I never even thought of something as small as a shower head. Not sure what I'm going to do other than power through and take it slow until he gets used to it.
Of course, that makes me feel all sorts of great about him going to a new school with a new schedule and new teachers in 3 weeks.
Any advice on how to get him ready?

Halfway Point: A Statistical Look Back At The First 30 Games
I'm kind of a stats geek (I love math!), so I thought I'd look at the first 30 games played by the Stars and post some numbers that might be interesting. There is a saying that "there is truth in the numbers." I'd like to think that is true in some cases. Having said that, here's what I came up with.
Stars overall record: 18-10-2 (38 points); tied for first place in the USHL Western Conference with the Omaha Lancers who have an identical record of 18-10-2 through 30 games played.
Lincoln has a home record of 8-4-1 (17 points) and a road record of 10-6-1 (22 points). Of the thirty games the Stars have played thus far, 13 have been played at the IceBox and 17 have been played on the road. So the majority of the 38 total points the Stars earned through the first thirty games came on the road.
These numbers are a good sign, in my opinion. When it comes time for the playoffs, if you can't win on the road you aren't going to last long. There are plenty of home games coming up in the next few months for the Stars to generate some home cookin' and earn even more points.
Shots and Goals:
In terms of generating shots on goal, there is no team in the USHL that does a better job than the Lincoln Stars. Through 30 games, the Stars have put a total of 1,038 shots on the opponents net. That averages out to 34.6 shots per game for Lincoln, which is tops in the league.
On the other end of the rink, the Stars have allowed a total of 825 shots on goal against the goaltending tandem of Charles Williams and Jackson Teichroeb. That averages out to 27.5 shots against per game which is the 5th lowest amount given up per game in the USHL.
The Stars have scored a total of 99 goals through 30 games, which averages out to 3.3 goals scored per game. The 99 goals scored is 3rd most in the USHL, and the 3.3 goals per game average is 4th best in the USHL. No surprise here. For the most part, scoring goals has not been a problem with this team.
On the defensive end, the Stars have given up a total of 90 goals through 30 games, which averages out to 3.0 goals surrendered per game. The 90 goals given up is 7th most in the USHL, and the average of 3.0 goals surrendered each game is 8th most. The numbers say that compared to the rest of the league, the Stars are middle-of-the-pack defensive team. Not great, but not bad either.
Special Teams:
Through thirty games this season, the Stars have scored 25 powerplay goals in 115 opportunities for a powerplay percentage of 21.74%, which is good for 3rd best overall in the USHL. The 25 PP goals Lincoln has scored is 4th most in the league.
On the other end of the rink, the numbers aren't so good. The Stars have surrendered a total of 30 powerplay goals against in 148 opportunities for a penalty kill percentage of 79.73%. That PK percentage of 79.73% is 3rd worst in the USHL. The 148 times the Stars have been shorthanded is the most of any team in the league.
The Stars have accumulated a total of 604 penalty minutes in thirty games, which averages out to 20.1 PIM's per game. Only the Muskegon Lumberjacks, who average 26.3 penalty minutes per game, rack up more penalty minutes per game than the Lincoln Stars.
According to the numbers, the Stars are very much "Jekyll and Hyde" in regards to special teams. With the amount of offensive talent on this team, the Stars have shown that they are more than capable of putting the biscuit in the basket when they have a man advantage.
However, the penalty kill has struggled at times, especially as of late. It's no secret that the Stars haven't been playing as disciplined as they would like. If the Stars can cut down on the amount of silly penalties, and shore up the PK unit, they should be able to win more special team wars.
Surprisingly, these numbers weren't as good as I expected. As a team, the Stars have save percentage of .891%, which is tied for 13th overall out of 16 USHL teams. Neither Charles Williams or Jackson Teichroeb currently have a save percentage above .900, which again was surprising to me. Despite their less than stellar numbers, what Williams and Teichroeb have been able to do through thirty games is win games.
That's about it. I am running out of time tonight to get this article up, along with the weekend preview article. Hopefully this halfway point article was interesting and somewhat informative. Thanks for reading.
Go Stars.

He has been drawing salary and getting other benefits from the government without having to do any work for the last seven years. He does not have to attend office, and for that the authorities never ask him to explain. He is provided with a vehicle, the required amount of fuel and a driver. He also enjoys various allowances and bonus -- all from the state exchequer. At the same time, he has been given the status of a VIP. His name is Md. Ebadot Ali, NDC. He has been serving as a secretary with the tag, officer on special duty (OSD), in the Ministry of Public Administration for the last seven years.
This is the first instance in which a secretary has been getting a monthly salary of about Tk. 2,00,000, without having to work. When contacted, Md Ebadot Ali, a 1983 batch BSC administration cadre official, told The Independent that he does not know why he was made OSD.
"I was made OSD when I was in charge (acting secretary) of the railway division on September 14, 2011. I was promoted as secretary while still an OSD. As a civil servant, I want to work, not just draw salary as an OSD," he said.
Ebadot Ali, a former member of the Planning Commission, said he is scheduled to go on PRL soon, and so would not make further comments.
Senior officials of the Ministry of Public Administration told this correspondent that they are not aware why he had been
made OSD. "There are a few lucky officials in the bureaucracy who have been promoted as secretary. Ebadot Ali must have been considered as an efficient official. We have seen that some officials were made OSDs on the perception that they were pro-BNP or pro-Jamaat officials. But Ebadot Ali was posted in different important ministries, and was even made deputy commissioner, during the tenure of the present government," one of the officials added.
Sources in the Ministry of Public Administration and the Finance Division said that about Tk. 2,00,000 is given to a secretary as monthly salary and allowances. Ali has been paid approximately Tk. 1.8 crore in the last seven years. Ali, born in Pabna on January 23, 1960, has completed nine different courses at home and abroad.
He has worked as the Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO), Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC), DC, Deputy Secretary, Joint Secretary and Transport Commissioner of the government transport pool.
There is an option in the civil bureaucracy that any official who has completed 25 years of service, can be sent home with all retirement benefits in the public interest. As of August 28, about 250 officials, including a secretary, 18 additional secretaries, 85 joint secretaries and 125 deputy secretaries, have been made OSDs. There are a total of 5,645 cadre officials in the civil administration.

Click the image above to visit siteIf so, we have a lot in common. You see, most of my life I've struggled with insecurity, nervousness, and low self-esteem. Especially around women. I've done a tremendous amount of research into this problem and come to the conclusion that there are three magic ingredients to solving all these problems so that we can live the life we were meant to live:
Now I know you're not stupid so you probably already realized this. In fact, really intelligent guys often are the ones who find it the hardest to feel confident around other people; especially hot women. This has certainly been my experience. We get stuck in our heads and end up not knowing what to say, or we say things that women don't find interesting and they end up brushing us off; undermining our confidence with women even further.
Combining these two techniques will give you the greatest sense of self-confidence the fastest. If only there was a step-by-step program that did exactly that. Well now there is, and you can get it here for just $47.
"Of all the books I've read on women and dating, yours has been the most helpful" – Peter, Sydney Australia
When I looked more closely at the problem of overcoming low self-esteem and a lack of self-confidence in my own life, I found a lot of snags that could get in the way of this simple formula.
Negative programming from parents or religion, traumatic childhood experiences, teasing, bullying, bad prior experiences with girls, difficult past relationships, negative thinking, anxiety, fear, and even a basic lack of self-love can all get in the way of applying these basic principles.
Well, then you're just like me. Cold comfort perhaps, but after seven years of research I've put together a step-by-step program to help guys just like us hit the ground running.
Plus you get over 17 hours of audio downloads with self-confidence experts covering everything else you need to know from Tantric Sex to Being The Alpha Male… and more! And three bonus e-books.
Great question! I can honestly say that women definitely respond to me differently now, and I really feel different inside. I've done every step in The Confident Man Program and I still keep practicing them: the more I learn, the more I realize how well this works.
If you're a tough case like me: super nerdy, or really insecure, or just uncertain about where to begin, this program will save you a heap of time compared to what it's taken me so far.
I know what it's like to lack self-confidence, because I've been there myself. It's horrible. When we lack confidence as a man, it shows up all over our lives like a bad rash. We feel:
But that's just the tip of the iceberg, because the way we act when we lack confidence affects all our relationships. Other people treat us the way we think we deserve to be treated. The problem just compounds itself and we end up feeling:
Lack of confidence makes us feel terrible about ourselves. We develop ineffective coping strategies, like avoiding uncomfortable situations, underachieving or becoming so driven to prove ourselves that we burn out. Yeah, I've been there too, and it felt awful. What we need in these situations is a true sense of inner confidence.
Of all the areas of my life that were effected by the lack of confidence in my old self, my relationships with women were by far the most painful. Ouch. I feel bad just thinking back and remembering what it was like. The loneliness, the painful rejections, the failures, the cravings. It was horrible. Perhaps it still is for you. Confidence is the only way out.
When you lack confidence, you often end up settling for what you think you can get, instead of what you really want in life. When you settle, you end up with:
No wonder so many men end up defeated in life and feeling chronically depressed. We take antidepressants to escape the horrible painful reality that we didn't get what we wanted in life… all because we lacked the confidence to get it. Tragically, many of us even end up committing suicide to escape the pain of it all.
On one of the saddest days of my life, I stood in the kitchen of my two-bedroom unit, still single and lonely at age 40. As I swallowed my antidepressant tablet, I wondered how on earth a smart guy like me had ended up down in such a pit of despair. All because I lacked confidence to really deal with the issues effecting my life. The emotional baggage that robbed me of my confidence even robbed me of my physical health and I ended up with Chronic Fatigue for three years.
I didn't want to live a life dependent on mind-altering medication, so one day I woke up and decided that there had to be a better way. I took an inventory of everything that upset me about my life, and set out to take massive action to do something about it. That was the day I stopped being a victim and took control of my life.
I tried many different things in the process of building my confidence; some more successful than others. In the process, I reinvented my life as my self-confidence gradually skyrocketed.
When I looked around at many of my single male friends, I realized they were struggling with exactly the same issues as I was. So I built The Confident Man Program to cover everything I needed to transform myself from a scared little boy in a man's body, into a Confident Man.
There is no instant answer to developing confidence. People who try to sell you instant confidence with no effort are lying and just preying on your vulnerability because they know how important this is to you. Building true inner… Read more…

Introduction to the HKMC Annuity Plan

Did you transfer your EPF account from old employer to new employer? If your answer is yes, then how much time it took to transfer to your new employer? Do you know the interest rules on EPF transfer process? In this article I will try to answer a very common EPF query, Whether I will get interest on EPF transfer process from old employer to new employer.
Interest on EPF transfer process from old employer to new employer
Although you can access your EPF balance online and many other features, but still there is no standard rule how much time require a EPF withdrawal or EPF account transfer. If you are not lucky, then it may take more time, even in years as well.
Now in this scenario, if you have applied for EPF account transfer to your new employer and it is taking years to complete the process, then there is a question raised automatically. Whether your EPF balance will earn interest on those period of transfer.
There is a term called, Dormant EPF account.
What is Dormant EPF account?
In case your EPF account is not receiving any sort of contribution for 3 years time, your EPF account will be termed as Dormant EPF account. In such a case your will not receive any interest on your accumulated EPF balance.
That means, during the transfer of your EPF account, if the transfer period is less than 3 years time, you should get interest as per your account balance. But if the EPF transfer process took more than 3 years, then your account will not get any further interest from 3rd year onward. After transferring to the new employer, the combined amount will get interest again.
To make this EPF transfer process simplified, it is better to apply your UAN and carry the universal account number for future to transfer yor EPF account to new employer with less hassle.
