Upon disembarking your ship please make your way inside the Visitor terminal on the pier. Go to rear of building and look for Door 2. Go through the door and you will find your guide waiting for you , if you can not locate us we may be outside the port gates waiting for permission to access – this is due to safety reasons. Alternatively just ask any volunteer (in yellow jackets) or security staff for assistance…tell them you are looking for Chris.
The volcanic past of Dunedin has created natural domes and vents where some of the finest views of our city can be enjoyed. We leave Port Chalmers and approach Dunedin from the north climbing above the harbour to a fantastic viewpoint of the Otago Peninsula. As we get close to the city we take a brief stop at Baldwin Street and the historic Dunedin Railway Station before we make our way out onto the Otago Peninsula, meandering along the 'low road' towards Portobello the evidence of Dunedin's 'fiery' past is obvious. Turning south we leave the sealed roads behind and travel through the scenic inlets where the tide regularly replaces nutrients that attract waders and waterfowl to this remote and scenic area.
A visit to Dunedin in incomplete until you have been on one of our beaches, we'll take you to arguably the most scenic beach where the rare NZ sea-lion can often be found basking in the sunshine. We make another stop at a scenic lookout where we walk through a tunnel of Macrocarpa to enjoy panoramic views of the Otago Peninsula and in particular, Cape Saunders, one of only two landmarks Captain James Cook logged in his journal as he travelled around NZ. The journey continues south along the high road of the Otago Peninsula as we head towards St Clair where we will briefly stop to sample a slice of Dunedin's laid back lifestyle.
Finally we make our way back to Port Chalmers (clients on the morning trip can be dropped of at the Octagon i- site if required , but they must find their own way back to the cruise ship in the afternoon.
NB: Viewing of Sea Lions and or Fur Seals on the beaches is expected but not guaranteed due to these animals being in the wild and free to come and go as they please.

Courtney Kurylo works as marketing coordinator for Northwestern Mutual and looking professional even on a day when she is lunching for charity with the ladies is top fashion priority. But don't think too buttoned-down.
"I like to look professional and fashion forward. I like to make a statement in the office," she said during the Latin Women's Initiative annual luncheon.
For this work day/luncheon outing, Courtney put together a crisp black and white look that interestingly stood out in the sea of colorful spring frocks favored by most of the women in the crowd of 600. She wore a white ruffled blouse from Elie Tahari that she found at Neiman Marcus with a black, pleated skirt by Kate Spade and colorful Jessica Simpson pumps by that she picked up at Nordstrom. Her clutch is from White House/Black Market.

Started feeding the shrimps in my nano shrimp tanks with frozen bloodworms. Hoping the change in diet will help them grow and breed.
State Of Moss
I feel that one of the highlights of my nano shrimp tank is the Christmas moss that has been growing on the wood. It started with a few shreds of moss and has grown and spread all over the wood nicely.
I didn't have to do anything for them. No CO₂ injection or fertilizers were added to this tank except for plenty of light. Maybe the intensity is too strong that some of the moss had turned yellow.
The only thing I could do at the moment was to lower the photoperiod.
It kind of helped a bit but I'm currently looking at some options where I could maybe (and that's a big maybe) modify the AZOO Flexi Mini LED Lighting to accept an inline dimmer and control its intensity.
Frozen Bloodworms For The Shrimps
Recently, I've been feeding frozen bloodworms to the shrimps in this tank. I've always wanted to do it but I wasn't sure what to get and where to get them. Finally bought it for the first time and gave it a go.
The frozen bloodworms were sold in packs and each pack separates a small portion of the bloodworms into small cubes. Kind of like medicine pills, actually. Do note that it's different from those freeze-dried types.
I just had to take out one cube from the pack, thaw it, wash it and then put a little bit at a time (using tweezers) into the tank. The shrimps will then start nibbling and fighting over the bloodworms.
I must say it was quite fun to observe them doing this.
pH Dropped Again
A check on the water parameters shows that the pH has dropped to 6.6 from the usual 7.6 that I want to maintain for this tank. I guess it's normal for a tank like this which has no buffering capacity.
As the pH is related to the KH drop, I will have to adjust the KH once again. I'll be adding sodium bicarbonate over the course of one week gradually to bring the KH to around 4°.
This should give me a pH of around 7.6 as previous experience has shown.
Someone on a Facebook group mentioned that adjusting the KH using sodium bicarbonate is not a permanent fix and I have to agree. It's not a long-term solution but it's more accurate and immediate.
Since this method lasts a couple of months, I'd prefer to use it.
Shrimps As Algae Cleaning Crew
It's almost time (or can I say, overdue) for me to move some of the shrimps to another tank as algae cleaning crew. I'm going to pick around 10 of them and put them in my nano Ryoboku tank.
The ones that were moved to my nano Iwagumi tank are doing well and it has proven to me that Neocaridina davidi shrimps can adjust to a high-tech environment.
I believe that the batch that I'm moving to my nano Ryoboku tank will be too.
What Is Left
There's only a couple of months left before I reset this tank and it made me realize how much time flies. I've learned a lot and I'm still learning about maintaining a tank with Neocaridina davidi shrimps.
What else have you learned from my experience?

Why Witty Job Titles Are All the Rage
By Lacey Mason
What do ninjas, rockstars and kahunas have in common?
Business savvy, of course!
New trends show that typical titles such as "manager," "web developer" and even the elusive "CEO" have become blasé. Punchier, more creative handles are taking over.
According to MOO.com, a company that creates business cards, this exercise in originality can make you stand out among a sea of boring, traditional titles.
"We are seeing a real shift from traditional business cards to a more 'social, personal branding card,'" said Paul Lewis, head of marketing at MOO.com. "Social network-savvy individuals are including their Twitter handles, Facebook accounts, Skype, LinkedIn and so on alongside their phone and email details. This, accompanied by these weird and wonderful titles, makes for a thoroughly modern business card!"
To most people, average job titles such as "executive manager" don't mean much. Lewis suggests experimenting with titles that sum you up as a person rather limiting yourself to a one-word descriptor.
Of course, success results from more than enthusiasm and a clever job title, but letting personality prevail certainly hasn't hurt Seth Goldman, president and TeaEO of Honest Tea.
Goldman's title, pun intended, is featured prominently on his Honest Tea bio. Founded in 1998, Honest Tea boasts a 66 percent annual compound growth rate and became the first Fair Trade organic brand to enter the world's largest beverage distribution system. Basically, that means this guy rocks at his job.
"I thought, if I'm responsible for the tea, and the tea is the most important thing, then let's just make my title TeaEO," Goldman said. "It was also a fun way to let people know we weren't taking ourselves too seriously and weren't going to be constrained by the standard corporate approach to business."
Now, doesn't that sound like your cup of tea?
Word play aside, creative job titles are also strategic business decisions. Joanna Pineda, CEO and Chief Troublemaker of Matrix Group, a web solutions company servicing associations and nonprofits, began using witty titles her first year in business. Her own receptionist has been christened as "First Impressions Officer."
"The fun titles are often more than just fun," Pineda said. "They convey a lot about the job (First Impressions Officer says a lot about the job, don't you think?), they communicate a great deal about our company, and they help our job postings stand out on job boards."
Yet don't make the mistake of overlooking a bit of decorum and political correctness when selecting your official moniker. Your friends and co-workers may lovingly refer to you as a "Grammar Nazi" but the negative connotations might not be worth the laugh. A leader is better than a tyrant. Try titles that convey your role as well as cool confidence, like "Punctuation Prodigy" or "Editor Extraordinaire."
Company leaders aren't off the hook either. While you may be the most fabulous head honcho your organization has ever seen, "Bootylicious Boss" could raise more eyebrows than sales. How about the aforementioned "Head Honcho?" Or even the simple yet bold "Boss Lady?"
Imitation is the highest form of flattery, so don't be afraid to borrow previously successful ideas. Here are just a few of the top modern job titles MOO.com has come across:
- Happiness Advocate
- Social Media Trailblazer
- Head Cheese
- Digital Dynamo
- Copy Cruncher
Now it's up to you to find the perfect sobriquet for your business card. If you're lacking a muse, try visiting MOO.com's Inspiration Gallery to see how other up-and-coming wage-earners are marketing themselves. Or, if you have the right idea but the wrong word, grab the nearest thesaurus and reconnoiter the stupefaction of our lexicon.
If you're still stuck, Pineda recommends reaching out to colleagues.
"Have a beer and a brainstorm. Ask others what the essence of your job is and brainstorm with them," Pineda said. "For example, one of my project manager's title is Project Manager/Cat Herder/Master Juggler. This job title perfectly embodies what it means to be a project manager at Matrix Group."
So, are you a ninja, a rockstar or a kahuna? Whoever you are and whatever you do, don't be afraid to make it known.
Now get out there and put the pizzazz back in professionalism!
If you could go by any title, what would it be?

There are many ways that bloggers measure their success. Google Page Rank and Alexa Rank are two of the most popular. If your Alexa ranking seems to be stagnant, there are a couple of tricks you can implement to get it to drop fast.
Install the Alexa Tool Bar
Alexa is a rank that essentially determines how often a website or blog is visited compared to all of the other website and blogs on the web. The lower your Alexa rank, the better.
But, there is a catch.
Your Alexa rank is determined by how many people visit your website that have the Alexa toolbar installed. Who visits your blog more than you do? My guess: no one. I know that I am the top visitor to my blog. After all, I have posts to write and comments to respond to. I spend a good amount of time on my blog. This is why it is crucial for bloggers to install the Alexa toolbar.
(You can install the toolbar here.)
You can also encourage any friends or family who visit your blog to install the Alexa toolbar on their computers.
You will be amazed at how fast your rank will drop just by implementing this one, simple tip.
Comment on Other Blogs
The average Joe doesn't know about the Alexa rank, but since most bloggers measure their rank they will have the toolbar installed. If you comment on a lot of other blogs in your niche, chances are they will come back to your blog and return the favor.
This is the main method I have used to lower my Alexa ranking. My blog is about 6 months old and has an Alexa hovering around 200,000. Everyday my rank consistently drops a little lower.
You get added points with this technique. Your Alexa rank will lower, all while building valuable connections with fellow bloggers.
Alexa is Not Just Important to You
Your Alexa rank is not just important to you. If part of your blog monetization strategy is direct advertising then lowering your Alexa rank is critical. Different advertisers look for different metrics. I have been contacted by some that base their pricing primarily off of Alexa rank and I have seen others that pay no attention to it.
If you are interested in direct advertising you need to be aware of your rankings.
There you have it. Lowering your Alexa ranking really is simple. Even if you only implement tip number one you will consistently see results.
Author Bio: Alexa is a single mother to two little girls, ages three and four. She is also an avid blogger. She chronicles her journey as a single mother trying to make it big at Single Moms Income.

"One-Way Ticket"
I pick up my life
And take it with me
And I put it down in
Chicago, Detroit,
Buffalo, Scranton,
Any place that is North and East —
And not Dixie.
I pick up my life
And take it on the train
To Los Angeles, Bakersfield,
Seattle, Oakland, Salt Lake,
Any place that is North and West —
And not South.
I am fed up
With Jim Crow laws,
People who are cruel
And afraid,
Who lynch and run,
Who are scared of me
And me of them.
I pick up my life
And take it away
On a one-way ticket —
Gone up North,
Gone out West,
—Langston Hughes
NEW YORK — The judge sits above the two defendants, both faceless black men seen from the back, standing so close together their jackets blend. It is hard to tell where one man begins and the other ends. The white judge is almost a cartoon character, his misshapen head sitting atop his dark robes. A cartoon judge dispensing cartoon justice, with catastrophic consequences for faceless defendants.
A narrow shaft of light from a green lamp illuminates what could be some documents or briefs. His demented, impossibly large googly eyes are fixed there, while he seems indifferent to the two men below him. The prisoners wait for this powerful figure to decide their fate.
"Among the social conditions that existed which was partly the cause of the migration was the injustice done to the negroes in the courts," reads a dispassionate caption next to the painting of the judge and his defendants.
This scene of racially corrupt justice is one of many that illustrate the role a racist and rigged criminal justice system played in influencing this staggering movement of black people from the rural cities to the urban north and Midwest. It is one of 60 paintings by Harlem artist Jacob Lawrence that until recently was being exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art. Langston Hughes' poem "One-Way Ticket" welcomed visitors to the exhibit.
At 23, Lawrence documented in rough brush strokes one of the largest migrations in the history of mankind when more than 6 million black people fled the South to come to northern cities.
From 1940-41 Lawrence researched and worked on a series he called simply "The Migration Series." It tells the story of black families fleeing violence and looking for better economic opportunity.
Normally, the 60 panels are split between New York and Washington, D.C., with all the even-numbered panels at the Museum of Modern Art and the odd-numbered ones at the Phillips Collection in Washington.
MoMA had assembled all the panels for the first time in two decades as part of a deeper exploration of this momentous and tumultuous period in American history in an exhibit called "One-Way Ticket: The Jacob Lawrence Migration Series and other Visions of the Great Movement North." It was an exhibit that touched the young people who got to see it.
"Teenagers are always drawn to the judge," said Calder Zwicky, assistant director of teen and community partnerships. "They feel that sense of power he has over these two guys. He's sitting up there with the bulging eyes looking down. He can do whatever he wants to these guys. Young people get that feeling, that feeling of helplessness, whether it's a principal at school who won't listen to their side of the story, or a cop in the street stopping them for no reason. They really instinctively respond to that sense of helplessness."
There is a fierce urgency to Lawrence's work, something MoMA organizers said they saw firsthand in the tours they gave to city youths. The panel of the judge, more than others, seemed to draw black youths to it. They often stood mesmerized, almost in a trance. When asked why that one painting, more than others, their response was often: "That's how I feel."
Shellyne Rodriguez, a MoMA community and access educator, remembers one tour of black and Latino young people in their late teens and early 20s shortly after the exhibit opened. One young man stopped at panel 14, fixated on the the demented judge and his bulging eyes.
"We always end up at the judge," Rodriguez said. "I remember he turned to me and asked, how is that things can change and still stay the same?"
It is a question that shows Lawrence's power.
Another member of the group, a girl, described an encounter with a police officer. He stopped and frisked her near her apartment in Harlem.
"The white cop told her, 'I'm sorry to do this to you but the boss needs his numbers,'" Rodriguez recounted. "Of course the injustices of the present come up during the tours. It's our history, and so much of it is still the same. … These stories are our stories, that history is our history."
Kerry Downey, Rodriguez's colleague at MoMA and a fellow artist and educator, also gives tours and has been struck by how easily Lawrence's paintings speak to the problems animating the present.
"The strongest takeaway I've had is how the conversation Lawrence starts is relevant to what's happening today," Downey said. "You can turn on the news and see it playing out. … This conversation also brought us to police abuse and how they employ racial profiling. Many students really opened up about that sense of your skin color being equated with a threat by people in power, and that sense of feeling invisible that comes with that."
Lawrence's series takes a sweeping look at the racial and cultural atmosphere that blossomed as the monumental demographic shift that began early in the 20th century and ended in 1970 changed the face of the country.
In his 1920 book, "Negro Migration During the War," Emmett J. Scott wrote, "They left as if they were fleeing some curse." Lawrence's paintings capture that sense of almost apocalyptic desperation.
[Related: After Decades of Spending, Minority Youth Still Overrepresented in System]
The exhibit feels at times like an illustrated doctoral dissertation, but with the artistic resonance of an early Renaissance fresco.
Lawrence's brush chronicles everything from the mad rush for the trains to the rotting crops left behind in untended fields as black farmers fled lynchings, arbitrary treatment from police and courts, mistreatment by white farmers who ran the tenant system and daily degradation under the terror of Jim Crow. He showed a new life in the burgeoning cities in the North, the influential role of the black press in encouraging people to abandon the South and the letters black migrants sent back to the South about their new lives.
The paintings are deceptively simple. Each manages to capture a moment that is at once intimate, one person's experience, and simultaneously on a staggering scale.
"One of the reasons the show is powerful is that it allows us to have a conversation not just about art and history," Rodriguez said. "But it's also about issues that get glossed over in traditional history lessons — police violence and the legacy of the American justice system. All of these are things affect us intensely right now. People want to talk about them."
Seydou Horvilleur, 17, is visiting New York City from France, staying with an American family. Horvilleur, who is black, said he was cautioned by his host parent to not challenge any police officers if they stop him for any reason. He said she was more worried about what could happen to him in an encounter with a member of the New York Police Department than with a common criminal.
"We don't learn much about the black American experience in Paris and the rest of France," he said. "I always thought that they left for economic reasons. But I just read that they were running from the South because they didn't feel safe. And it seems a lot of what is happening here in New York and across the country is that black people are out there saying the same thing — that they don't feel safe."
"Mommy, mommy," a little girl shouts, running up to Lawrence's 22nd panel in the series. "They're in jail! Why are they in jail, mommy?"
"You are right, honey," the girl's mother replies. "They were arrested."
"Why?" asks the girl, Ranii Reed, 9.
"I don't know," her mother Tash Reed, 35, responds. "I don't know."
Lawrence's 22nd painting depicts three black men in threadbare jackets seen from the back. They're handcuffed with gold shackles to one another and staring out a barred window. The caption, in Lawrence's dry matter-of-fact tone, reads: "Another social cause of the migrants leaving was that at times they did not feel safe or it was not the best thing to be found on the street late at nights. They were arrested on the slightest provocation."
Reed tries to explain to her daughter the best she can that people who looked like her did not always get a fair shake in the old days. But it's hard; her daughter is young and has trouble understanding.
Reed was visiting the museum from Winter Haven, Fla. She said the exhibit made her think about her family's journey. It's something she can't tell her daughter, because she doesn't know herself.
"I don't know where we came from," Reed said, looking around at Lawrence's paintings. "It's amazing to see what the artist did, to try to teach us about ourselves."
She said seeing the paintings of desperate people caught up in the mass exodus makes her think about the struggles people still face today.
"You see how poor they are," she said. "Most look like they didn't have too much of anything. It makes you think about how things have gotten better, but also about how much it hasn't. You look at these paintings and you know there are people out there, poor people, that are still out there. A lot has changed, a lot has changed but it hasn't changed enough."
Frinsel Guillaume, 29, had a similar visceral reaction to the exhibit. Guillaume, who lives in Jersey City, N.J., said he sees echoes of the paintings outside his window.
"I see it all the time," he said. "It's a common occurrence with kids in my neighborhood. Police have been patrolling my neighborhood all summer throwing kids against the wall for nothing."
He, too, was drawn to the scene of the judge.
"There's just this incredible sense of injustice," he said. "It's the same injustice you see today. There's these two young people versus one judge. You know they don't have a chance whether they're guilty or innocent. And you can't see their faces, you can only see the color of their skin."
Now with the country in the grips of a tense national conversation over what — if anything — can be done to curb police violence in black communities, Lawrence's exhibit ends on a troubling note. Millions of black residents fled terror for freedom. Their descendants are residents of the big cities like New York City.
The last panel of the exhibit shows a crush of faceless black figures standing at a train station. It could be anywhere — the Florida Panhandle, Alabama, Tennessee — waiting to be delivered to new lives in new towns.
Guillaume somberly shakes his head as he stares at the crush of people. "At least they had somewhere to go," he says aloud to no one in particular.
Lawrence's caption to his final painting reads: "And the migrants kept coming."
What Lawrence never answers is what happens when the migrants finish their journey but realize that the injustice continues. Where do you go to buy your next one-way ticket? And where is the destination if there is nowhere left to go?

Last month, President Obama's uncle, Onyango Obama, was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence. Now Rep. Steve King (R-IA), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, says Congress should hold formal hearings into whether Obama's uncle received preferential treatment during his deportation proceedings. "We have to bring drunken 'Uncle Omar' in front of the House Judiciary Committee, drill down into this, and tell America what's going on," King said on Fox News. There is no evidence that Onyango Obama received preferential treatment, and the White House has said they have not tried to intervene on his behalf. But, according to The Hill, Republicans are exploiting the personal family matter and "see the case as an opportunity to hit the president on his recently announced immigration policy, in which officials were instructed to exercise prosecutorial discretion in deportation cases."

About this book
This book grew out of a set of lecture notes for a one semester course on dynamic game theory held at the University of Technology, Vienna. It is intended primarily at the graduate level for students in operations research, management science, applied mathematics, and eco nomics. I hope that I have been able to give the reader an accessible introduction to the subject of nonzero-sum dif ferential games with particular emphasis on applications. It would be irrational to try to re ach total com prehensiveness in a single volume. Therefore, I have resisted the temptation to "over-cannibalize" previous textbooks and monographs on the subject. It has rather been my desire to cover material that (I think) is impor tant and interesting, but gets left out of these publications. Writing a book is quite a game. In the beginning -before c10sing the binding agreement* with Plenum-I believed this to be a fi·nite horizon game. Time, however, * Key words will be explained in the text. 7 PREFACE 8 was a merciless arbiter. I am grateful to the Senior Editor, Dr. Ken Derharn, for allowing manuscript delivery to become a (restricted) free terminal time problem. Most of all, I thank my wife Grace for offering me the needed spiritual support, and my two-year-old daughter Sabrina for ignoring the paradoxical situation that there are games which prevent Dad from playing with her.

Following our previous post on the top five virtual team challenges I am going to start by looking at the 3rd most important challenge from our virtual team survey – how can we stay visible to the organization when we are working remotely.
Participants from our remote and virtual teams training programs tell us that visibility is important for many reasons, including
- to get access to attention and resources for your virtual team
- to keep priority on your activities
- to attract people to want to work on your virtual teams
- for career development
In large companies, especially where you are working in a virtual team away from the centre of power, there is a real risk of "out of sight, out of mind". It is not enought to be doing a good job, you also need to be seen to be doing it.
Some of our participants, especially the engineers, argue that it should not be this way, doing good work should be enough. Part of me agrees but it the reality is….
I am definitely not advising you to become one of the horrible corporate politicians who spend more time "spinning" a good message than doing a good job, but if you are working remotely or in a virtual team you do need to manage your visibility.
One point of warning – I am assuming you are already doing a good job – if you are a lousy performer you should definitely not work on your visibility: just keep your head down.
A framework that is used in some organizations for thinking about this is PIE – this stands for the three key elements of visibility – in virtual teams or anywhere
- performance
- image
- exposure
All three of these are important and need to be managed. According to some studies, exposure is the most important of the three.
I found this html version of a PowerPoint presentation from GE online which explains the PIE concept in more detail. I hope you find it useful in planning to improve the visibility of your virtual team.
If you would like some help facilitating a workshop on virtual team branding and visibility please contact us,
How do you manage visibility in your virtual team?

Tracy Morgan, Ardie Fuqua suing Walmart over deadly crash
There's a new update on what the celebrity-obsessed media calls "the Tracy Morgan car crash", also known as a 6-car crash that killed comedian James McNair on June 7. Morgan is suing Walmart in a civil court case filed with the U.S. District Court in New Jersey. The 45-year old 30 Rock star was recently released from a rehabilitation center after suffering broken ribs, a broken nose and a broken leg. Fellow comedians Ardie Fuqua (right) and Harris Stanton, as well as Morgan's assistant, also suffered injuries in the crash. Morgan is now recovering at home.
Walmart driver Kevin Roper was behind the wheel of the truck that crashed into Morgan's limo bus on the New Jersey Turnpike early that morning. Roper was driving 20 mph over the speed limit. Initial reports claimed that he had been driving for over 24 hours, but turns out to have only been driving for just under his 14-hour limit. Roper was charged with one count of death by auto and four counts of assault, for which he pleaded not guilty. Walmart released a statement expressing that it was "deeply sorry" that one of its trucks was involved with the incident. "Our thoughts continue to go out to them and their families and friends," the statement read.
"The defendants' negligence was a substantial contributing factor in causing plaintiffs' injuries," the complaint declared. Joining the Saturday Night Live comedian in the suit are Fuqua, his personal assistant Jeff Millea and Millea's wife, Krista.

The Thames Valley Berkshire LEP and partners wanted to understand whether proposals to create a hub airport at an alternative location would have a detrimental impact on the role and economic impact of Heathrow. The partnership needed an evidence base to inform a submission to the Airports Commission looking into future airport capacity in the South East.
Regeneris modelled three scenarios for growing airport capacity including the third runway at Heathrow, a new airport to the east of London, and a do nothing scenario. Our team found that a new hub airport built elsewhere would lead to over 100,000 job losses at Heathrow airport (if the airport closed) and nearly twice that many local jobs being put at risk. A third runway at Heathrow Airport would create at least 35,000 additional jobs and generate over £3 billion in economic output.
Our work was submitted to the Airports Commission and informed their decision to support Heathrow Airport's expansion. Heathrow airport is now taking forward its plans to develop a third runway.

Free Resume Builder
If you want to write a great resume, getting started can be hard to do. If you use a free resume builder, the job will be much easier. But what should a free resume builder include?
Chances are if you are having trouble starting your resume you may not be sure what to include in it. While all resumes should not be the same, the free resume builder you choose should include all of the following.
Resume Builder Header
A free resume builder should include a header at the top of your resume for your name and contact information. It is always a good idea to seem available to your potential employer so include your name, address, phone number, cell number, email, an URL if applicable. Just don't fall into the personal info trap and include an email address or URL that is too personal (like hot mama @ email.com) even if your free resume builder includes a space for it. In this technological age a personal website can be a great way to present your portfolio but leave the link off your resume if it has nothing to do with work.
Resume Builder Objective
The next thing a free resume builder should include is a place for your objective and summary of qualifications. The area under the header is the best space on your resume so be sure to use it wisely. Your free resume builder should give you the option to either list your qualifications or state our objective. While an objective is the customary field that comes after the header, more and more people are leaning away from these more obscure statements in favor of a summary of the reasons they are qualified for the job. Whatever your free resume builder has under the header, make it interesting and related to the job you are applying for.
Resume Builder Work Experience
The next area on your free resume builder should be for work experience. You should list it with the most recent first and all relevant work experience should be included. Even if your free resume builder does not include a space to explain gaps, always put an explanation if there is a gap in your work history. You should also never write negative things about previous employers even if it is true.
Resume Builder Education
The free resume builder you choose should have a space for education as well. Depending on what type of company you apply to, your education may carry a lot of weight or not so much. You should still include tour education and any special licenses of certifications you hold in your free resume builder.
Resume Builder Skills
All free resume builders are different but they should all include a space to list your skills. Put everything that is relevant to the job you are applying for as many companies look closely for exact skill matches. No matter what free resume builder you use, it should include space for all these features.

Gayle Hepner, the San Jacinto Valley's energetic organizer of many events, is at it again, this time as executive director of C.A.S.A, the Center Against Sexual Assault of Southwest Riverside County.
Hepner is the former assistant general manager of Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District, where she was a main organizing force behind major fundraisers for the agency — Autumn Elegance in the fall and The Weekend in the spring. She also helped greatly at another huge fundraising gathering, Science Under the Stars, which benefits the Western Science Center.
Hepner is a highly organized woman who managed to remain impressively upbeat while mixing presenting major events with her other parks-management duties. Her latest effort with C.A.S.A., promoting April Sexual Assault Awareness Month, is typical of her go-big organizational ways.
C.A.S.A.'s recent hyperactivity explains why the San Jacinto Valley is accented with the color teal, including 2,600 green lights strung on a towering pine at Valley-Wide Regional Park on Esplanade Avenue in San Jacinto. Teal lights also shine on palm trees at the entrance to the Maze Stone Restaurant at The Country Club at Soboba Springs, trees in the median of Ramona Boulevard in San Jacinto and at businesses and homes throughout the San Jacinto Valley.
Teal is the color associated with April Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The mission of the month is to highlight the awareness and prevention of sexual assault.
The sign board at Dattilo Ristorante in Hemet reads: "Get your teal on." It is advice people are taking.
Teal wrist bands are being handed out. A banner announcing the month and its theme is stretched over Florida Avenue in downtown Hemet. More banners are placed over billboards leased by Valley Watch, the C.A.S.A.-affiliated group that diligently campaigns against sexual abuse of children.
Flyers, buttons and Sexual Assault Awareness Month posters are being distributed. Teal ribbons are tied on the antennas of law-enforcement vehicles and ambulances. They also were given to taxi companies.
Wednesday, April 24, is Denim Day, a date when sympathizers wear jeans in support of preventing sexual assault. The day was established in protest to an infamous Italian court decision to overturn a rape conviction because the victim wore tight jeans. The court sadly ruled that the woman would have had to help take the jeans off, making sex consensual.
C.A.S.A. encourages people to wear denim Wednesday, emphasizing the message that no matter what a victim wears, sexual assault is wrong.
The day will be highlighted with a free 6 p.m. barbecue at Gibbel Park in Hemet. Members of the Hemet Police Officers Association will be at the grill.
The month shines a teal light on C.A.S.A., a non-profit organization founded in 1982 in response to the lack of resources to help a rape victim. C.A.S.A. runs an awareness program about the problem of sexual assault and maintains a 24-hour crises hotline.
Volunteers are available to accompany victims to police stations and hospitals. Counseling is offered.
Information about Denim Day, C.A.S.A. and Sexual Assault Awareness Month is available by calling 951-652-8300 or www.swcasa.org on the Web.
Just heard from Nick Jones of Miller-Jones Mortuary that a memorial celebratory gathering will be held for Jack Gosch at 5 p.m. Monday, April 29, at Sunrise Country Club in Rancho Mirage.
Gosch, the founder of the Gosch Auto Group, came to Hemet in 1964 to take over a Ford dealership. He died Saturday night at home in Rancho Mirage with his family in attendance. He was 84.
Gosch was well known for his family's car dealerships in Hemet and Temecula, but he also was a supporter of many community causes.
The ultra-positive man was a board member for Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District in the 1970s and remained one the agency's biggest supporters. He also was a founder of the Bank of Hemet. One thing not many people know about Gosch is that he opened Hemet's first fast-food franchise outlet, a Taco Bell, with Jim Agnew as a partner.
Quite amazingly, he livened up his retirement 10 years ago when he aced two holes in a row. Read about the Associate Press Account of the feat by clicking this Jack Gosch's Two Holes In One link.
Contact Bob Pratte at 951-763-3452, email@example.com or 3400 Wentworth Drive, Hemet CA 92545. Find Bob's blog at blog.pe.com/bob-pratte and follow him on Facebook at www.facebook.com/PE.BobPratte and Twitter: @bpratte

Basic Guide to Mermaid Reproduction or How to Have Sex with Mermaids
People keep asking me how mermaids manage sex and how they can possibly have babies (The Little Mermaid had to come from somewhere, right?), so I've written a really basic summary for those who are curious. If you're after detailed descriptions of real mermaid sex…those are in my books, some of which are available free (you can find out more about them HERE). I must admit, there is more story than sex to my books, though. One warning: the girls of the ocean's gift don't bother with BDSM – they just call sharks and dispose of him.
For the blokes they choose not to dispose of (or at least, not 'til afterwards), a siren is quite a catch.
Mermaids are closely related to humans – so close that the two can interbreed. Mermaids, by definition, are female, so breeding became a little difficult after conflict with humans wiped out all the males. Humans called them dragons, but to the mermaids, they were all the people of the ocean's gift.
The Little Sea-Maid, as written by Hans Christian Anderson, is fiction. Mermaids, like dragons, can shift their skin to cover more or less of their legs (and what lies between them) and change the colour accordingly. Like hair, eye and skin colour, a mermaid's tail colour is determined by genetics. She can close her gills to appear human, when she breathes air on land.
Now, having chosen to permit her tail to part, her gills to close and her skin colour to normalise, a mermaid looks like any normal human – with a distinct curve as she needs to store fat reserves for cold water swimming.
Essentially, she is as capable as any human woman, though with her high level of fitness and flexibility from swimming all her life, perhaps a little more capable and with more stamina.
An observer remarked on the transition from legs to tail:
She placed her heels together and gave a flick with her feet. The movement rippled up her body, before she did it again. It looked like her skin was darkening, or was it just the waves washing over her? Another flick, her feet rising out of the water this time, and I saw the blue wasn't just the water. It was like the skin of her legs had grown together, extending over her feet into curved flukes, as blue as the water. It blended seamlessly up her body, though her torso remained pale.
She turned on her side, her eyes curious. In the skin along her ribs, I saw dark lines that looked like gills. I couldn't take my eyes off her. She'd never looked less human.
– Ocean's Infiltrator
As for how the mermaid children are born…you'll find descriptions of births in Ocean's Infiltrator and Ocean's Birth.
If you want more information or more detail, I highly recommend you start by reading my Turbulence and Triumph series.
If you'd like to get two of my mermaid books for free, all you have to do is tell me where to send them.

First Time Buyer Mortgages
Since the financial crash in 2008 the Government has regularly introduced initiatives to attract more first time buyers in the UK property market. Mortgages can now be secured with deposits as little as 5%. In addition to this, schemes such as "help to buy ISA's" and "help to buy mortgages" can prove to be very attractive. Finally there is also the option of an equity share mortgage which is a cost effective way of getting on to the housing ladder.
In reality DIP's and AIP's are exactly the same thing, they are a certificate from a mortgage lender saying how much they will lend you subject to property valuation and standard underwriting.
Most of our first time buyers ask us to obtain a Decision In Principle for them before they go to look for their first house. The DIP's give our clients peace of mind as to how much they can borrow along with the confidence that estate agents will take their offers very seriously.
- Arrange a free appointment by phone or Face to Face within 24 hours
- Find you the best possible mortgage to match your personal needs
- Calculate how much you can borrow with all lenders (they are all different)
- Let you know what your monthly payments will be
- Obtain a decision in principle within 24 hours
- Look for Cash Back offers & Free Valuations
- Fully analyse your credit file should the need arise
- Manage the whole process until you get the keys to your new home

The Virtuoso
This is one of those instances where its all about the stone. This gorgeous Tanzanite was responsibly-sourced though a wonderful giveback program that is in place regarding the support of those in the community of Tanzania. We looked at an array of gems curated by Linhardt herself; until we finally saw this gorgeous purplish-red-blue Tanzanite with extreme fire (unfortunately the photo does not do this stone justice). Due to the precarious nature of Tanzanite, we knew we would have to design a "bumper" around the stone in order to protect it during every day wear – so we chose platinum and white diamonds to really allow the color of the colored gemstone to pop and appear even more saturated. The setting includes a gorgeous cutout pattern on the underside of the ring which stabilizes the 6.20c carat rock on the finger . A true marvel.
Responsibly-sourced Tanzanite; adorned with white diamond pave set in Platinum; high polish finish.

Premiere: Lorenzo BITW x FoxMind – Don't Mind [Pitch Rider]
'Inside the Ride' can be thought of as a sample of things to come from the label, a musical mission statement of sorts. The 10 track compilation features a mix of UK bass, techno, grime, footwork, dubstep and weirdo club tunes, representing an diverse label that resists being pigeonholed to one genre easily."
A bold statement from Pitch Rider but the compilation itself is just as bold.
Our selected track is from two of our favorites, Rinse FM regular Lorenzo BITW and the ever prolific, FoxMind. Check them each guesting on our NTS show last year.
Slowing down the pace of the compilation, 'Don't Mind' closes the ten track release with a pitched down effort from the pair. The chuggy tribal drum-work and shuffling rhythms compliment each other nicely.
The full release dropped today, buy below.

Give Something Special and Unique to Someone You Love
When you give one of the Pandora Charm Bracelets to someone special in your life, you are giving a gift that you can use to mark the milestones in your relationship. I received one of these beautiful pieces of jewelry for Christmas, from my daughter, and I love it. I am looking forward to filling this bracelet with charms that mark "Unforgettable Moments" in our lives.
I already had several charm bracelets: one from my high school days, another from my post high school days, and one that commemorates my adult life. Now, I am excited, once again, to celebrate and remember the treasured times of my life each time one of these lovely beads or jewels are added to my new bracelet.
I was so tickled Christmas morning to see that famous little gift bag under our family tree. Since I knew what my husband and I had bought for our daughter, I assumed that that little treat was going to be for me, and indeed, it was.
How My Pandora Charm Bracelet Began
My daughter (bless her sweet heart) began by purchasing the sterling silver bracelet with the Pandora clasp. To this, she added two sterling silver spacers. Next, she bought my first charm – a Santa Claus. I collect everything Santa Claus, so this was the perfect way to begin. She also wanted to get a safety chain, which would have added two more beads, but because of the popularity of their jewelry during the Holidays, they were completely sold out.
After Christmas, we went into the store to make sure the size of my bracelet was correct, and to purchase the safety chain. Since they were on backorder, they took our order, and they said they would call me when the one I wanted was back in stock.
This worked out really good because, the day we went in to have the safety chain put on, they were running a special. If you spent a certain amount, they would give you another sterling silver bracelet with the Pandora clasp FREE. So, my always thinking daughter bought the safety chain for me, and as an early Easter gift to me, a cruise ship charm (one of my favorite things to do). With these two purchases, she had spent enough to get a free bracelet for herself. So now, I'm looking forward to giving her mementos of special times in her life to add to her bracelet.
And a great feature of this product is that the charms just screw on, so there is no added expense to have them attached.
Pandora Bracelet Ideas
For Your Wife – When giving one of these remarkable pieces of jewelry to your wife, you can customize it to celebrate all the highlights of your relationship – from meeting to marriage, to beginning a family, to special times – all of which tell your special lady just how much she means to you.
For Your Mother – After years of giving gifts to your mother, do you feel like you have given her one of everything? Well, after reading this article, you will no longer have to ponder: "What should I give to Mom?" Give her a Pandora charm bracelet! She will love it, and she will look forward to receiving all the lovely beads and jewels you select to commemorate and thank her for all she has done over the years for you. So, whether it is Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, her birthday, and/or Hanukkah or Christmas, you will be able to find the perfect gift that says, "Mom, I love you, and I remember."
For Your Daughter – You can begin your daughter's collection of fine jewelry when you give her one of the Pandora charm bracelets. Growing up presents so many special times, and you will be able to commemorate these activities for her by giving her a special bead to add to her bracelet. It will be something she will value, and she will enjoy wearing it for years to come. I look back at mine from high school, and it brings back wonderful memories of special friends and moments in my life.
For Your Sister – Just like giving gifts to your mother, you think you have given everything imaginable to your sister(s). But just like I mentioned, above, these gifts open up a completely new horizon for gift giving.
In fact, I don't know anyone who wouldn't enjoy having and wearing one of these 'one of a kind' custom designed pieces of jewelry.

Pandora Jewelry
My bracelet is made of sterling silver, but they also have ones that are made of gold and ones that are silver and gold. Plus, they have a large selection that is made of other materials, such as macramé and leather. Want another style? No problem! You will find a great selection in their store and on the Pandora website.[1]
While this company is more widely known for its charms and bracelets that is not the only jewelry that they sell. They also have an exciting collection of watches, necklaces, earrings and rings. They have something for everyone.
Pandora Stores
We are very fortunate to have a company store at one of our local malls. As you stroll through the mall, you will see shoppers carrying the company logo bag, and you know someone will be on the receiving end of a fabulous gift. While you might think that mainly the guys in your life purchase them, you see just as many ladies toting these bags. After all, they make a grand gift for moms, daughters, sisters, friends, etc.
Be careful when you shop, and make sure that you only purchase and use Pandora beads and charms on your bracelet, since using look-alikes will void your warranty.
Also, they welcome you to come in anytime, and they will run your bracelet through their cleaning process to brighten it up.
In Closing
As I said, I love my Pandora charm bracelet, and I enjoy looking through their catalog, "Celebrate the Moment Charms and Bracelets" – anticipating what will be my newest addition.

Nov. 16 (UPI) -- As the federal investigation continues into one of the most fabled prison escapes of all time -- the 1962 break from Alcatraz -- new technology is helping to preserve part of the story.
The FBI gave the National Park Service, which now runs Alcatraz as a tourist attraction and maintains the archives, 3D-printed replicas of the decoy heads used by the convicts to fool prison guards during the nightly bed checks. Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin placed the dummy heads in their beds next to the covers during the checks as they spent months digging a tunnel out of their cells to freedom.
The men have not been found in the 56 years since the escape, which was dramatized in the 1979 Clint Eastwood Hollywood movie Escape from Alcatraz.
"The 1962 escape from the United States Penitentiary at Alcatraz remains one of the most infamous prison escapes of all time," U.S. Marshal Don O'Keefe said in a statement to UPI.
"None of the escapees have ever been located, the United States Marshals Service continues to investigate any and all credible leads. Some may believe that we're chasing shadows, but our efforts are meant not just to perform due diligence, but to be a warning to other fugitives, that U.S. Marshals don't give up because of the passing of time."
Alcatraz, located in San Francisco Bay in California, closed less than a year after the escape.
The FBI manufactured the new heads because the originals -- creatively crafted from toilet paper, cardboard, cement chips and human hair from the floor of the prison barbershop -- have deteriorated.
While the originals remain as evidence, a team from the FBI's Operational Project Unit at the FBI Laboratory in Quantico, Va. scanned the heads using 3D laser technology at the Golden Gate National Recreation Area Park Archives and Records Center more than a year ago to make the replicas. The lab even attached human hair to the models to match the originals.
"The FBI's lab uses this same technology for the high-resolution scanning of bomb components, firearms and crime scenes for use in FBI investigations and operations," John F. Bennett, special agent in charge of the San Francisco field office, said in a statement. "We are honored to use this expertise to provide the National Park Service with accurate models of the Alcatraz decoy heads for many generations to come."
The decoy heads were placed on display Thursday at the Alcatraz park archives of Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Morris and the Anglin brothers made their break for freedom on the night of June 11, 1962. A fourth conspirator, Allen Clayton West, believed to be the mastermind of the plot, did not join the other three in the escape attempt and remained in his cell.
The ingenuity of the escapees did not stop with the heads and makeshift digging tools. They used prison-issued raincoats to make crude life vests and a pontoon-type raft to help them get across San Francisco Bay. They stole a concertina, removed the keys and used it to inflate the raft.
There remains considerable debate about whether the three escapees survived. There has never been any solid evidence to indicate any of them made it out of the bay. In 1979, the U.S. Marshal Service took over the case from the FBI and continues to investigate tips in the case.
"We'll do so until we determine that one of the escapees is dead, or until their 99th birthday, where we'll re-evaluate the case," O'Keefe told KNTV-TV Thursday.
