Working the Grind: 4 of the Most Challenging Jobs/
Every job has its challenges, but certain careers are known to be particularly difficult. Some of these jobs require employees to work in dangerous conditions while others are just plain stressful and mentally taxing. These four jobs are among the toughest careers you could ever have.
Event Coordinator
If you choose to get an event coordinator job, clients will hire you to organize their business functions, weddings and other large gatherings. What makes this career so challenging is the fact that you will need to make sure that every detail is managed perfectly so that each event runs smoothly. You also may be responsible for managing staff and collaborating with vendors. Helping clients choose event venues and managing tight deadlines are other duties that are associated with this position. You might be the first person a client blames if something goes wrong during an event, so it is important to not make any mistakes in your job.
Cell Tower Climber
Towers that make it possible for cellphones to work often need to be serviced by technicians. As a cell tower climber, you run the risk of falling from a tower or getting electrocuted. You could also get tangled in a cable of power line. High levels of radiation exposure from climbing cell towers may even increase the risk of getting cancer. If you do happen to become injured while working in this field, you can always consult with a personal injury lawyer, such as one from McLaughlin & Lauricella, P.C., who will inform you of your legal options.
Firefighters are often required to work undesirable hours and must extinguish all types of fires in the quickest and safest manner possible. These professionals also need to rush into burning buildings to rescue occupants while carrying heavy equipment. You might be hired to work as part of a city fire department or put out large forest fires. The risk of getting severely burned makes this job especially physically dangerous. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statics also states that firefighters are forced to face the dangers of collapsing floors, smoke inhalation and traffic accidents.
Crime Scene Cleaner
Crime scenes are often messy and need to be cleaned up by professionals. Blood, human remains and other gruesome leftovers have to be removed for safety and aesthetic purposes. Crime scene cleaners should have the mental and emotional fortitude to work in this field. Being exposed to the traumas of crime scenes may lead to the development of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder.
These jobs require professionals to work in a variety of challenging situations that are highly stressful and may even put them in harm's way. By taking the proper precautions, you can minimize your risks and reduce your stress level if you choose to work in one of these fields.

Top Ten Packing Tips
By: Brad Edelson
1. Pack your own bag! Don't let your mom, dad, wife, sister, husband pack for you…it's important to know how to pack and repack the bag the same way.
2. Lay out everything you think you'll need to bring and strategize from there. Don't pack piecemeal.
3. Space out your bag correctly. Get your big items situated first and keep weight low and centred. Shells and outerwear can be stuffed in the front and side pockets. Leave enough room in your bag to fit both your fists inside.
4. Place items in your bag strategically. Attach lighter items to the front of your pack with carabiners and balance out each side. Use external loops and straps to secure awkwardly shaped items like tent poles and sleeping pads.
5. Pack survival items. Place these items in the brain of the pack, for fast emergency access.
6. Towels. Quick Dry towels are the way to go. Never bring something that absorbs water (like a normal towel), you want wick materials!
7. Pack liquids and place them at the very bottom of a pack in the event of a leak.
8. Avoid over-packing. Clean and pack everything no more than 24hrs in advanced. This still gives you time to get things you need and less chance of over-packing.
9. Reduce the load. Look at the amount of clothing you plan to bring, then cut it in half. It's not a wilderness experience otherwise! I suggest base-layers that can provide both breathability and warmth.
10. Creating even more space. Roll items instead of folding and use waterproof compression bags to slim down puffy items like sleeping bags, as it will help create more space and protect against a downpour.
Bonus Tip:
Deflate your dry food packages with a pin and cover the hole
with tape to save more space.

Ahh, the feeling of a bounce back. My last couple of races have been pretty craptastic. I went from running 21:xx to 22-23 minute races. I know the heat is playing a factor in this but so was my inability to hydrate. I'm not expecting to PR anytime soon but I am expecting to feel good at my races. This race came with much more preparation in two forms.
- I drank more water than I ever thought possible starting 48 hours prior to the race
- I didn't eat anything prior to the race
Normally for an evening race I find myself having to adjust my eating schedule. I'll eat a big breakfast, light lunch at 12, snack at 2, and a light snack at 5pm with race time of 7pm. I'm used to the whole idea of eating 150-200 calorie carb/protein snack two hours before race time. Lately with all my tummy troubles and hydration issues I decided to test out something new. I decided to not eat anything after a 1pm lunch. I figured it may help me if the food in my stomach has longer to digest. The hope was that my tummy issues are a result of just eating too close to race time. Another summer races means another chance at trying new techniques.
I was sad that I didn't have my training partner for this race. She's the rock that keeps me pushing and makes racing more enjoyable. We signed up to do this whole series together but family commitments kept her away this week. I knew going into this one alone I was going to have to really push myself and focus on making her proud! Miles 1 and 2 are never my issue, it's always mile 3.
I got to the race with ample time to go warm up. It was warm but felt a little better than last week. I was praying that all the hydrating and food changes would keep me from getting the side stitch I did the week prior. I did a mile and half warm up and then headed to watch the kids race. Nothing beats watching children run. Seriously, go watch a kids race and tell me it doesn't give you a smile ear to ear. The look of pure joy on those children's faces is something we could all take a note from. These kids don't have a time goal or disappointment. To them, crossing that finish line is the most rewarding factor. They love the thrill of just being out there and running. I'm all about goals and pushing ones self to reach what you personally set out for yourself but sometimes it's nice to be reminded that the simplicity of the wind in your air and the exhilaration from finishing a run is all that matters.
After the kids finished, I headed to the starting line. It was time to put the music on and get my game face on. I was ready to feel good about a race again.
Mile 1: 6:59 Last week I started out pretty conservatively and I was feeling like crap. This week I gave myself the first half a mile to figure out how my stomach was feeling. Stomach felt good, legs felt great, and breathing was in check so I decided to go ahead and give it what I had. This is a little faster than what I have been running mile 1 in lately and I was hoping that it wouldn't backfire on me and kill me in the end. At the end of Mile 1 I felt strong and was ready to keep pushing myself.
Mile 2: 7:03 I was still holding strong to a good pace. I was pretty proud of myself up to this point. My stomach and legs felt amazing. I haven't felt that good in mile two in a long time. Lately I've been losing 15 seconds per mile on my pace, so to see only a 4 second drop in the heat and humidity, I was pretty excited.
Mile 3: 7:27 Yes I did lose some ground here but mile 3 for this course is one of the most curvy/turn filled miles. It's pretty hard to maintain pace throughout this last mile. I was hoping not to fall this far in my pace but my overall average pace was still where I was hoping it would be. My legs still felt really strong and I was cruising along, soaking wet from sweating.
The final .1 I kicked off at a 5:53 pace. I had juice left, that's good. I felt good when I finished. My legs felt great, my stomach didn't hurt at all. I never got any cramps during the race and my finish time was 22:09. I am closer to where I was before the heat set in. My first race on this course was 21:31. I know I'm not going to hit that again or in the final race but being closer to that number means I'm getting strong and getting more accustomed to this heat. Last week I saw 23:39 on this course. 1 minute and 30 seconds is a huge amount to shave off in one week. It really does show me how important outside factors such as hydration, fuel, etc play a part in how we do on race day. A bad race does not signify a loss in your running abilities.
Afterward I met up with some of my running pals and we headed inside for beer and food. I normally love the race the landing food but this week was kind of a miss for me. I wasn't a huge fan of the pork chop but the sides were good. I always love fresh watermelon. The beer was cold, the music was loud, and friends were around. I was the 4th overall female, 1st in my AG this week.
I can't believe there is only one race left in this series. It's one of my favorites. Truthfully, it ranks pretty high for me because Brian of Brian Fancher Photography is out there taking kick ass pictures of me. It's no secret that I love pictures of me racing and he has by far always captured some amazing ones.

My brother still flip flops between his CT6 and his Les Paul. Hopefully he'll come around.

Why I Stay
My arms were sore and my throat was hoarse. I had literally been standing on top of a desk—guitar in hand—for the past 45 minutes, belting out chord shapes to the unexpectedly huge group of students who had shown up to my afterschool music club. I had taught more kids in a classroom setting before, but what made this challenging was that the moment the students had guitars in their hands, they would start picking and strumming and banging and generally making as much noise as possible. The chaos was palpable.
During that first session, I somehow managed to teach them the G chord and had them practice a few times on their own before clapping to get everyone's attention and announcing that we'd meet again, same time same place, next week. As I started putting my own guitar away, a student from the back of the room—SB, who I knew had gotten in a fight and been suspended just the previous week—scrambled over to me with his twin brother in tow. "Mister, mister, watch this!" Staring intently at his left hand, SB painstakingly placed his fingers one by one on the appropriate frets, then strummed a flawless G chord. The delight radiating from his face afterwards made me forget about how exhausted I was.
I quit teaching this past spring partly because I wanted to have a broader impact than just in my own classroom, and joining 12+ afforded me that opportunity. By developing college readiness and access programming which is then executed by our Fellows, I've been able to reach all 700 or so students across our two partner schools. My aim is to duplicate the success we've had at Kensington Health Sciences Academy (where over 70% of last year's seniors attended a postsecondary institution, compared to 11% three years ago) and make it scalable across multiple school sites.
But these metrics, and "broader impact," though important, are not what make my job so rewarding. In the end, I stay in education because of the individual moments and relationships I get to share with the kids. I stay for that look of triumph on SB's face after learning his first guitar chord, and for the many more afternoons he'll spend learning to create music rather than hanging out on the streets. I stay for RF's wide-eyed nodding when he finally grasped the difference between mass and weight. I stay for MH, who comes to the PLUS Center every day—if only to shake my hand, say hello, and ask how I'm doing.
As a teacher, I came to understand that the opportunity to work with each student was a huge privilege—one that had to be earned through dedication, relationship-building, and openness to learning as much from the student as he/she learns from me. The scope of my role has broadened, but this privilege of working with individual students is still what fuels my work—and though the challenges of each new day sometimes leave me sore and hoarse, a smile on a student's face makes it all worth it.

VIRGINIA — Wiping away tears, Krista Swanson recalled the moment she was told her 11-month-old son had died in a fire at her Tower home.
A man carrying a clipboard told her while she was sitting in a vehicle at the fire scene, she said. She remembered she was concerned that if her son Bentley Koski had been in the house, her boyfriend's brother, Jesse Lee Bonacci-Koski, had also been there, because he wouldn't have left Bentley alone while babysitting him.
"It's a big blur. It's like it wasn't even real," she testified on Wednesday.
But Bonacci-Koski, 26, left his nephew home alone on the morning of Aug. 2, 2017 and the house caught fire during his absence, killing Bentley while he "was trapped in that crib and completely dependent on his uncle," assistant county attorney Bonnie Thayer said during her opening statement in Bonacci-Koski's manslaughter trial on Wednesday.
Bonacci-Koski gave law enforcement differing reasons why he was away from the house — he left to use Wi-Fi or he left to go "get high," Thayer said. Whatever the reason, he had options that morning and he chose to leave Bentley alone, then chose to run — Bonacci-Koski allegedly stole a neighbor's vehicle and fled the scene — rather than tell authorities Bentley was in the home when he learned about the fire, she said.
Bonacci-Koski didn't know that morning was going to be the last time he saw Bentley, nor did he think that a fire would ignite and kill his nephew while he was gone, public defender J.D. Schmid said in his opening statement. Bonacci-Koski ran because he was on probation and he was scared, he said. He added that the trial isn't about whether Bentley's death is a tragedy or if Bonacci-Koski made mistakes that day.
"It's about whether he's guilty of manslaughter. He's not, because he didn't leave intending to put Bentley's life in danger," Schmid said. "The evidence will show that the fire killed Bentley."
Bonacci-Koski is charged with two felony counts of second-degree manslaughter, felony theft of a motor vehicle and gross misdemeanor fifth-degree possession of a controlled substance. His trial is expected to continue Thursday, and the jury could begin deliberations as early as Thursday afternoon.
The State Fire Marshal's Office wasn't able to determine a cause of the fire, but extensive damage was found in the kitchen.
Multiple firefighters testified on Wednesday that had they known there was an infant in the house when they arrived, they would have immediately attempted to reach the upstairs bedroom using a ladder. Instead, they worked to extinguish the fire on the first floor, finding Bentley upstairs in his crib about 45 minutes after they arrived on the scene.
"If we knew a person was there, we would have changed tactics," said Matthew Tuchel, the Breitung assistant fire chief.
In addition to videos of Bentley, photos were shown on Wednesday of the house's smoke-and-fire damaged interior, including a photo of Bentley's crib mattress blackened by soot except for a spot in the shape of the child.
Medical examiner Rebecca Asch-Kendrick testified that Bentley had soot on his body and in his airways that indicated he was alive at the time of the fire. She ruled his death accidental and determined that his cause of death was "inhalation of products of combustion."
Swanson said she and Bentley's father, Cody Koski, decided on Aug. 1 to spend a night away from home, and asked Bonacci-Koski, who was staying with them, to watch Bentley. Bonacci-Koski had babysat Bentley a few times before and Swanson said she felt comfortable leaving her son with him. She said she didn't believe Bonacci-Koski was under the influence of drugs when she asked him to babysit that night. She also said she didn't think she needed to tell him that he couldn't leave Bentley home alone.
"I know he loved him. I know he did," Swanson said.
Bradley Matich, a Tower firefighter who lived next door, testified that he saw black smoke coming out of the house's windows at about 7:40 a.m. Aug. 2. He called 911 and ran around the house, beating the walls to alert anyone inside. He didn't hear a response from inside and he didn't see any vehicles parked at the house to indicate that someone was home, he said. He tried to go in the house to check, but the smoke was too thick.
Bentley was found during the firefighters' mop up after they extinguished the fire. Lance Dougherty, the Tower assistant fire chief, saw the crib when they entered the bedroom and said he couldn't tell if he was seeing a child or a doll when he looked in the crib. When he realized it was a child, he immediately brought him outside, handing him to Tuchel. After that, Dougherty said, "I wanted to shake off what we had just discovered."
Tuchel, who is also an EMT with Tower Ambulance, began CPR on Bentley, even though it was obvious that Bentley had been in the house the entire time. It's what he's trained to do, he said.
"You've got to give that child a chance. We all gave that child as much as we could to bring him back," Tuchel said. "We never give up hope."

pork salame with clove, nutmeg, ginger, and black pepper in a wide diameter of about 4", about 5lbs each
is that how you spell it?
There is no one recipe for Soppressata. in the old country, one side of the hill proudly produces (and spells) this ancient salame quite differently than their neighbors on the other side of the same hill. These variations are thoughtful and intential and delicious--the opposite of the McSame approach. Smoking Goose adds to the story with this soppressata.
serving suggestions
Slice it into sandwiches and over white pizza. Toss fine cubes into stuffing and dressings. Make it the salumi sidecar to cocktails mixed with barolo chinato, byrrh, dark rum, or orange bitters.

Fact Sheet
In 2012, approximately 1,168 children between the ages of 9 and 17 died from suicide, the second leading cause of death for that age group after unintentional injury. In addition, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, another 157,000 young people each year between ages 10 and 24 receive medical treatment after attempting suicide. More than half of the deaths by suicide were the result of suffocation, another 39% from firearms, and 3.4% from poisoning.
The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) for 2013 found that 17% of students in grades 9-12 had seriously considered suicide in the 12 months prior to the survey; 13.7% had made a suicide plan during that same period; and 8% had attempted suicide at least once in the same period.
Currently, the risk for suicide is highest and second highest among American Indian/Alaska Native males and females. The third highest is white males. The suicide rate for black boys and girls is less than for their white and Asian peers.
New research is examining the protective factors that can prevent teen suicide. A strong and positive connection to parents, family and/or school appears to provide immunity for teens when they are troubled and may prevent suicides.
The Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC) states that the four major risk factors for suicide are:
- Prior suicide attempt(s)
- Substance abuse
- Mood disorders
- Access to lethal means
Records Needed for Case Review
- Autopsy reports, including toxicology screens
- Scene investigation reports and photos
- Suicide notes
- Interviews with family and friends
- EMS run reports
- Emergency Department reports
- Prior CPS history on child, caregivers and person supervising child at time of death
- Child's mental health history if available
- School records and/or school representative at meeting
- Names, ages and genders of other children in home
- History of prior suicide attempts
- Substance/alcohol abuse history
- Any information on recent significant life events, including trouble with the law
- If a firearm was used in the suicide, information on the ownership and storage of and access to the firearm
Prevention goals
- The Suicide Prevention Resources Center Best Practices Registry is an excellent source for evidence-based suicide prevention interventions.
- Community gatekeeper/suicide risk assessment training for community members who interact frequently with teens.
- General suicide education targeted to teens to help them understand warning signs and supportive resources.
- Screening programs, including those in schools, to identify students with problems that could be related to suicide, depression and impulsive or aggressive behaviors.
- Peer support programs to foster positive peer relationships and competency in social skills among high-risk adolescents and young adults.
- Crisis centers and hotlines.
- Restriction of access to lethal means of suicide, including removal of firearms in homes of high-risk teens.
- Interventions after a suicide that focus on friends and relatives of persons who have committed suicide, to help prevent or contain suicide clusters and to help adolescents and young adults cope effectively with the feelings of loss that follow the sudden death or suicide of a peer.

Hahah. No, really, I AM happy about having done this and making it this far. In fact, I was talking last night to my dear friend, Arlo, who did 30/30 last May, and it was good to recap the experience with him. I have never been a poet to have a daily practice and while I do believed I "mined" the world for poems before this project, my ears and heart and imagination are more open after (nearly) a month of doing this work.
I really appreciate those of you who have followed along, donated to Tupelo, and checked out the poems and the blog. It's been lovely to know people have been reading.
Today's poem was born of exhaustion and another Kundiman: Fireside Blog Prompt from friend and fellow Fellow, Muriel Leung:
Write the memory of salt.
This is a great prompt and one I will return to. The poem for today, is, meh. I have a whole host of ideas for it I can't get to. Suffice to say, this is one of the things I shall not miss about the 30/30 project.
Some things I was thinking of (that I don't really think are in the poem, yet):

Today I wanted to introduce to you to this cool little business online that sells really good quality camera straps!! And when I say good they're super thick and sturdy and have amazing designs. The store is called...
Imo is a store based in Hong Kong so if you're a bit skeptical about shops from there, don't be about this one! Their line ranges from mostly camera straps but they do have a few items for tablets and lenses. And I heard they'll be making bags soon too.
Strap: White Navajo
Price: USD$29
All in all I think the strap just makes my plain black camera even cuter and makes me want to use it even more!! So go check out imo for some cute/cool designed straps for your big dslr or if you just have a little digital one they have straps for those too.
See ya in the next post!!

Send this to your Kentucky Legislators NOW!!!!
In 1969, the 1937 marijuana tax stamp act was declared unconstitutional.
In 1970 they began creating the 1970 Controlled substances Act and without any scientific input made marijuana schedule one, right up there with heroin. A schedule that cannot be questioned or changed without the approval of the Drug Enforcement Administration. Very few drugs are in this category.
Now we know it was all a political scam to use the drug war to go after and suppress Nixon's enemies. We know this for sure because the Nixon Administration said so.
The cover story in the April 2016 edition of Harper's Magazine was, "Legalize it all" written by Dan Baum. Mister Baum was asking Nixon aide John Ehrlichman questions about the politics of drug prohibition and as he tells it, Ehrlichman asked,
"You want to know what this was really all about?" He went on to say, "The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did".
The new AG, Senator Sessions is saying he is going to step up the war on pot users. For what reason?
They claim States Rights when deciding whether or not to protect transgender kids' right to go to the bathroom of their choice, but not when deciding a State Marijuana policy!
Please ease the fears of the tens of thousands of marijuana users in our State and send a message to the new administration that as a State we will not be bullied by the Feds.
PS: Scientifically, there is a 25% drop in opioid overdose deaths in the first year after passage of a medical marijuana bill that grows to 33% by year 6 after legalization. that means 250 of our citizens will die in the coming year if a bill is not passed this year.
So Git Busy!
You may never know but passage might save the life of one of your family members!

Tips: Start with the top of the head and build down. Build the arms from the hands up to the shoulders, and then attach to the body. Do the same with the legs, build feet up and attach them once fully built. You may want to put a little glue on the arms to help hold them in the position you want. You will probably need to put some weights in his feet to help him stand up.

There's a new bob style you should know about - it's choppy and blunt. So why has it made a comeback – Karl Lagerfield Spring/Summer 2014 shows.
Rain makes us miserable and gives us wet feet but it also causes havoc with your hair. Best option is a slick up-do. A romantic tousled do will get frizzier the wetter it gets. A sleek do, especially a tight pony-tail, will survive much better. Best option is to not wash it but instead add plenty of product to weigh down your hair and prevent it from lifting into flyaways. Add an almost waterproof barrier with gel or hairspray. Damp air returns your hair to its natural state. If you love your straightener, rainy days are the time to give them a miss. An umbrella won't really protect you as moisture fills the air. Best option is a loose hood which will protect without damaging the style.
Plaits are a real favourite right now. Whatever your face shape and style, there will be a plaited hairstyle to suit you. Whether you want a boho-look with a halo braid or a twist on the classic with two fishtails. French plaits, a favourite with school girls worldwide, are also hot property. They can make a seriously glamorous accompaniment to an evening dress.

This is the blog for the New York Section of the American Alpine Club. It is a great way to follow members climbing excursions throughout the world and allows members to post their latest trips in real time.

Call For Volunteers
The Metro NY Section is looking for dedicated community-minded volunteers to serve as climbing mentors and committee members for our pilot "Climb Like a Girl" program. This initiative is to provide an indoor rock climbing summer mentorship at The Cliffs in Queens to low-income teenage girls from the Long Island City community (via Urban Upbound). Mentors would be required to commit three (3) two-hour weekend morning sessions per month at the The Cliffs from June through August. Mentors will also regularly work alongside Urban Upbound advisors to tie climbing with their life-skills curriculum. This program is an opportunity to expose climbing and its benefits to a population that is not normally reached by our sport. Female climbers are strongly encouraged to apply as mentors. We are also looking for a few members to assist the program founder in continuing its development. For more information and to get involved please email the Metro NY Section Chair at email@example.com.

Metro NY Section Ausable Club Outing, May 29-31, 2015
A long-standing New York Section tradition is our Annual Adirondack Outing at the exclusive Ausable Club near Keene Valley. Activities include: rock climbing (including backcountry routes on Gothics or cragging at the nearby Beer Walls), hiking in the adjacent High Peaks, canoeing on the private and pristine Ausable Lakes, golf, tennis and lawn bowls on the property. On Saturday we host a cocktail party, sit-down dinner and slideshow at the Club. We have privileges to drive the gated Lake Road, permitting speedy access via the lakes to some High Peaks classics such as Marcy and Haystack, and shorter hiking routes to Gothics and Indian Head.
Group size is limited to 40 people first come, first served. The all-inclusive price for the weekend includes lodging for Fri/Sat nights, 2 self-serve cottage breakfasts (including the Sunday Pancake Fest), Saturday cocktails and dinner. Please email the Metro NY Section Chair at email@example.com for registration information.

I told you that I personally did not guarantee that it worked, only that I had heard reports that it did. You have two variables here. One is that it's an array that is larger than what the aac driver has supported in the past. Second is that it's RAID-6. Both of these variables should be handled by the aac driver update that happened last year, but again, I couldn't validate it, so I can only go with the reports of others. As others suggested, you need to experiment with simplier configurations. This will help us identify the cause and hopefully implement a fix. No one is asking you to throw away money or resources. Since you've already done the simple test with a single drive, could you do the following two tests: 1. RAID-5, full size (whatever >2TB value you were talking about). 2. RAID-6, <2TB. From there, I'll figure out what needs to be done to get it fully working for you. Scott

File naming conventions
last modified 2018-03-08T14:37:09-04:00
This page contains recommended practices for the naming of digital files at Mercer University Library.
- File names should be unique as possible, including placing a _1 after the name to distinguish between files.
- File and directory names must use only characters allowed by the UNIX operating system. Allowable characters are: a-z A-Z 0-9 . _ –
- Do not use special characters, such as, . \ / ( ) : * ? " & |, except for dashes or underscores. These characters are often reserved for use by the operating system.
- Do not use spaces in the file name, use underscores or dashes instead. Browsers and some older operating systems do not handle spaces well.
- If the file name includes numbers use zeros as placeholders. For example, a collection with 999 items should be numbered: mac001.tif, mac002.tif … mac011.tif, mac012.tif, etc. (NOT mac1.tif, mac2.tif …). This practice facilitates sorting and file management

This is not a column about Donald Trump.
It's not about the fraudulent scheme that was Trump University. It's not about his history of failing to pay contractors, leading to hundreds of legal actions. It's not about how he personally profited while running his casinos into the ground. It's not even concerned with persistent questions about whether he is nearly as rich as he claims to be, and whether he's ever done more than live off capital gains on his inheritance.
No, my question, as Democrats gleefully tear into the Trump business record, is why rival Republicans never did the same. How did someone who looks so much like a cheap con man bulldoze right through the G.O.P. nomination process?
I mean, it's not as if any of this dirt was deeply hidden. The Trump U. story was out there long before it became the big deal it is today. It took some real reporting to flesh out the details of Mr. Trump's other business practices, but we're talking about ordinary if skillful journalistic legwork, not revelations from Deep Throat.
So why didn't any of Mr. Trump's primary opponents manage to make an issue of his sleazy business career? Were they just incompetent, or is there something structural about the modern Republican Party that makes it unable to confront grifters?
The answer, I'd argue, is the latter.
Rick Perlstein, who has documented the rise of modern conservatism in a series of eye-opening books, points out that there has always been a close association between the movement and the operations of snake-oil salesmen — people who use lists of campaign contributors, right-wing websites and so on to sell get-rich-quick schemes and miracle health cures.
Sometimes the political link is direct: dire warnings about the coming depression/hyperinflation, from which you can only protect yourself by buying Ron Paul's DVDs (the "Ron Paul curriculum") or gold shares hawked by Glenn Beck. Sometimes it just seems to reflect a judgment on the part of the grifters that people who can be persuaded that President Obama is Muslim can also be persuaded that there are easy money-making opportunities the establishment doesn't want you to know about.
There's also a notable pattern of conservative political stars engaging in what is supposed to be activism, but looks a lot like personal enrichment. For example, Sarah Palin's SarahPAC gives only a few percent of what it raises on candidates, while spending heavily on consultants and Mrs. Palin's travels.
Then there's the issue of ideology. If your fundamental premise is that the profit motive is always good and government is the root of all evil, if you treat any suggestion that, say, some bankers misbehaved in the run-up to the financial crisis as proof that the speaker is anti-business if not a full-blown socialist, how can you condemn anyone's business practices?
Consider this: Even as the newspapers are filled with stories of defrauded students and stiffed contractors, Republicans in Congress are going all-out in efforts to repeal the so-called "fiduciary rule" for retirement advisers, a new rule requiring that they serve the interests of their clients, and not receive kickbacks for steering them into bad investments. Paul Ryan, the speaker of the House, has even made repealing that rule part of his "anti-poverty plan." So the G.O.P. is in effect defending the right of the financial industry to mislead its customers, which makes it hard to attack the likes of Donald Trump.
Finally, the con job that lies at the heart of so much Republican politics makes it hard to go after other, more commercial cons. It's interesting to note that Marco Rubio actually did try to make Trump University an issue, but he did it too late, after he had already made himself a laughingstock with his broken-record routine. And here's the thing: The groove Mr. Rubio got stuck in — innuendo that the president is deliberately weakening America — was a typical example of the political snake-oil the right sells along with free money and three-minute cures for high blood pressure.
The point is that Mr. Rubio was just as much a con artist as Mr. Trump – just not as good at it, which is why, under pressure, he kept repeating the same memorized words. So he, like all the G.O.P. contenders, didn't have what it would have taken to make Mr. Trump's grifting an issue. But at least so far it appears that Hillary Clinton and her allies won't have the same problem.
In the months ahead Republicans will claim that there are equivalent scandals on the Democratic side, but nothing they've managed to come up with rises remotely to the level of even one of the many Trump scams in the news. They'll also claim that Mr. Trump doesn't reflect their party's values. But the truth is that in a very deep sense he does. And that's why they couldn't stop him.

Authentic Tweens
Posted in Pulse by rebecca
20 Jun 2013
Today's tween girl has more on her mind than our pop culture leads us to believe. You may think she cares about lip gloss, pink stuff and glitter. Think again. Girls tell us they are into much, much more than that.
In fact, more girls than ever say that they are playing at least 1 sport. And get this! Many girls play 3 or more!
So it shouldn't surprise you that one of the things that girls tell us they need to learn more about is how to get stronger and healthier. Tips like how to try planking or other techniques for building strength and skill, appeal to these growing girls.
So while pop culture may coax you into believing that girls want to look like models, but we're learning that girls want to look strong and healthy.

COPPA Regulations Update in 2012
Posted in News by rebecca
26 Nov 2012
According to Reuters.com the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) will get an update by year's end. The act written in an age before smart phones and tablets, where children are online daily, is due for a review.
iTwixie has always approached child safety a little differently than COPPA. At iTwixie, we believe it's our job to not only keep a child's personal information safe, we believe that it's our job to make sure all content, messages and partnerships that we bring to our community is appropriate, empowering and provides a positive experience for iTwixie girls.
While we applaud COPPA for recognizing the changes it needs to make, we likewise see an opportunity for more companies to see their responsibility to children as one that goes beyond what COPPA mandates.
That's why we moderate 100% of our memberships posts. We don't stand in the way of self expression, but rather, stand in the way of creepy people who would like to post creepy things on a child-targeted site. We believe it is our duty to moderate anything that's inappropriate before a child sees it. And that's what we do.
Our dedication to providing a safe and fun place for children online will always be at the center of our mission and vision.Read more..

Returning Again: Spiritual Preparation for the Days of AwePast Sessions
Wednesday, September 12, 2018 • 3 Tishrei 5779 - 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Wednesday, September 5, 2018 • 25 Elul 5778 - 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
During the month preceding the High Holidays, our tradition instructs us to look closely at our lives. We devote ourselves to teshuvah, literally "returning"— to the path of our most wholesome selves and sincerest intentions. In these sessions, we will come together in support of this sacred work. Through close readings of texts on teshuvah, as well as contemplation and deep listening — to one another and to our own hearts and minds — we will aim to nurture the seeds of teshuvah within and amidst us. Taught by Rabbi Benjamin.
Sorry, Registration has ended.

Tuesday, Sep 24th 7:00p to 8:30p
An Israeli bestseller, this book is set in a Tel Aviv apartment building. A resident on each floor tells a story in 1st person narrative. Arnon is a tormented, retired military officer who fought the First Intifada. Conditioned to kill or be killed, he continues to make things worse for himself as he obsesses about his daughter's safety. Hani, whose husband's lucrative job keeps him traveling while she cares for their two children at home, brings emotional excitement into her life by risking hiding her brother-in-law from the police. Devora, a retired former judge, joins a social movement, tries to reconnect with her estranged son, and falls in love with a man who isn't what he seems. The apartment building is a metaphor/microcosm of community in Israel, where individual backgrounds are often diverse, the sense of paranoia, the fear of neighbors being ready to inform on you, is tacit in each of these stories. Nevo is a well-recognized writer in Israel. Discussion led by Sandy Bacharach.

text: KIRKUS REVIEW Hannah Arendt's superb study of Adolf Eichmann operates on a three-pronged front: as a legalistic clearing ground (the Israeli-or-International Court controversy; the relation to the Nuremberg and Successor trials; the forced deportations and "final solution"; Nazis, past and present, and West Germany today); as a psychological description (was Eichmann really a "perverted sadist" or was he "terribly and terrifyingly normal",- a sort of totalitarian age Everyman who no longer knows or feels what a "criminal act" is?); and as a philosophical query (what is the meaning of justice, what are the measurements of morality, when through Auschwitz and Buchenwald the very concepts of good and evil become banalities?). Miss Arendt covered the Jerusalem scene as correspondent for The New Yorker, thus much of the merely factual material here seems, journalistically speaking, old hat. But no matter; as everyone knows, Miss Arendt writes like an angel who could outwit the devil; ten or twenty years from now her little book should still be one of the key references to an understanding of barbarism-and-bureaucracy, a 20th century phenomenon.

Although it's the middle of Spring, it feels like Summer to me - my Autumn trip through the US has de-acclimatized me. I've donned shorts and hat to work out in the vines, and the heat is pressing in on me. It is radiating off the vines causing everything to shimmer with a living curtain of green and yellow.
I am "suckering" or "shoot thinning" – removing unproductive shoots that are not bearing fruit, as well as closely-spaced shoots that are preventing air and light from reaching the vine. At this point in the vine's lifecycle, dormant buds along the trunk and cordon have "pushed" and are growing vigorously. Their vegetative growth diverts the energy of the vine away from ripening the fruit, so by shoot thinning I am refocusing the vine's energy back into the grape clusters.
Shaded leaves are less than one tenth as effective as exposed ones. So by removing unnecessary shoots, I am allowing greater light to reach the leaves, thereby increasing their efficacy. Removal of these excess shoots allows filtered light to penetrate deep into the clusters, which further helps the grapes to develop flavor. It also allows for airflow amongst the clusters, which reduces mildew pressure.
I am also removing water shoots, which grow from the wood of the stem as well as infertile shoots that lack visible inflorescences. And when two or more shoots grow from one bud, I retain the strongest, or the one that has a grape cluster. At this early stage it is possible to rub the shoots off, or to pull them off without causing any damage. Later in the season, this work will require a sharp blade.
When shoot thinning, it is imperative to avoid removing those buds needed for next year's growth. Thus each decision requires careful attention and an understanding of what is actually growing. As with everything in the vineyard, each action has a consequence, intended or otherwise, well into the future. You can probably understand why I'm drawn to the philosophy that "less is more".

Rafael Cruz, Ted Cruz's father, is a good argument that crazy is genetic and making stuff up runs in families. The following is a precis of an article in Mother Jones.
Cruz Sr. a Texas Pastor, runs an outfit called "Purifying Fire Ministries". His son uses him to burnish his Christian fundamentalist. He is increasingly important to Cruz Jr's political life. Unfortunately, unlike relatives that can broaden a candidate's appeal (for example a wife that attracts women to a GOPer), Rafael Cruz is Ted's political twin.
In a speech to the Tea Party of Hood County, Texas last April, Cruz declared that the United States is a "Christian nation", bucking the newly preferred evangelical characterization "Judeo-Christian". He insisted that the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were a "divine revelation from God" and "were signed on the knees of the framers".
He added, "our president has the gall to tell us that this is not a Christian nation". And that, "The United States of America was formed to honor the word of God."
In September of 2012, as Ted was running for Senate, he told the North Texas Tea Party that President Obama was an "outright Marxist", who "seeks to destroy all concept of God". He urged the crowd to send Obama "back to Kenya."
A few weeks ago he told a gathering of Republicans in Colorado that Obama has vowed to "side with the Muslims," that Obamacare mandates "suicide counseling" for the elderly, and that gay marriage is a plot to make "government your god."
All of this is pretty standard stuff, but in August 2012 Cruz told the congregation at an Irving Texas megachurch that Christian true believers are "anointed" by God to "take dominion" of the world in "every area: society, education, government, and economics."
In doing so, he shone a light on the Christian subset Dominionism (AKA Christian Reconstructionism) which believes "anointed" Christians are destined to establish a theocracy in the US. Cruz also endorsed the evangelical belief known as "end-time transfer of wealth" – in which as a prelude to the second coming of Christ, God will seize the wealth of the wicked and redistribute it to believers.
He quoted Proverbs 13:22, "And it is through the kings, anointed to take dominion, that that transfer of wealth is going to occur." Could he possibly be referring to Ted?
In an admonition to the flock – revealing the dark mercenary underbelly of the movement – he said that this financial windfall will only accrue to those faithful that tithe. (Modern evangelicals seem to have a love of lucre that Jesus failed to mention in the Bible).
In the same sermon, Rafael Cruz proved he is yet another conservative Christian determined to alienate women, saying, "As God commands us men to teach your wife, to teach your children—to be the spiritual leader of your family—you're acting as a priest. Now, unfortunately, unfortunately, in too many Christian homes, the role of the priest is assumed by the wife".
At the Hood County gathering, he noted that the "wicked" were now ruling the United States. He insisted "those death panels are in Obamacare," and that the US government wants "to take all of your money" and confiscate "our fortunes." He asserted that the Democratic Party promotes "everything that is contrary to the word of God." He also exclaimed, "Social justice is a cancer. Social justice means you are ruled by whatever the mob does. What social justice does is destroy individual responsibility."
Cruz Sr. is also no fan of unity or compromise. At a "freedom rally" at the Alamo in 2012, he vowed, "We've had enough compromise…enough of Establishment Republicans that don't stand for anything."
Cruz also trotted out the standard right-wing lie about socialized medicine,"everywhere in the world when socialized medicine has been instituted it takes 12 to 18 months to get any kind of medical proceeding". (Note: Medicare is socialized medicine).
He believes that God is a Republican. In September, at a National Federation of Republican Assemblies event, he contended that after the 2012 election, God told him, "If we could blame one group of people for what happened in the last election, it is the pastors." (It makes one wonder why God is not powerful enough to swing elections to the GOP.)
For Cruz politics and religion are two sides of the same coin. His world needs a "political savior" as much as a "spiritual savior". Especially as Obama believes "government is your god." And he has "a clear agenda…to destroy American exceptionalism"; "to achieve a "worldwide redistribution of wealth"; and "make us subject to the United Nations."
Ted Cruz may have gone to Princeton and Harvard Law School, but the lessons that stuck are the ones learned on his father's knee.

Elena Baltacha knocked out of French Open at first hurdle
Elena Baltacha, the British No 1, bowed out of the French Open after losing in straight sets to Samantha Stosur, the US Open champion.
For a while in the opening set, Baltacha managed to trouble the world No 6, but after coming back from a break down she then lost seven successive games to suffer a 6-4 6-0 first-round defeat.
Baltacha, 28, fell an immediate break down in the opening set but then competed well to recover and close to 5-4, back on serve. Serving in the tenth game, she conceded another break and consequently the set, and the world number 68, dressed all in blue on the Paris clay, crumbled from that stage on.
There were flickers from the British player's racquet in the…

Amendment of the Collective Redundancy Notification Act
On 1 March 2012 the Collective Redundancy Notification Act (Wet Melding Collective Outslug, "WACO") will be amended. What changes does this involve?
Termination Agreements Counted In when Deciding Number of Redundancies
At present, an employer who wishes to 'make an end to' the employment of 20 employees or more working within one territory on commercial grounds, must report this to the UWV WERKbedrijf and to the representative trade unions. Terminations by mutual consent, however, are not included in the calculation at present. Under the amended act such terminations will also be counted in.
All Petitions for Rescission Counted In
All petitions for rescission are counted in. At the moment, the rule still applies that petitions for rescission only count in if there are more than five; this rule will be repealed. The amended Act further provides that the Subdistrict Court, when assessing a petition for rescission on commercial grounds (e.g. redundancy), has to ascertain whether the WMCO applies. If it does, the employer will have to prove that he has fulfilled his obligations under the WMCO. If the employer has not fulfilled these obligations, the court will not rescind the employment agreement.
Reporting to Trade Unions no Longer Suffices; Consultation Required
Under the new Act, the trade unions must actually be consulted rather than just informed. This is only different if the trade unions expressly waive their right to be consulted in writing. Furthermore, the UWV may decide not to apply the obligation to consult if this would jeopardize the re-employment of the employees threatened with redundancy, or the employment opportunities of the other employees. Consultation does not imply that it is also necessary to reach agreement about the projected collective redundancy and the supporting policy.
The employer is deemed to have fulfilled his obligation to consult the trade unions if the trade unions do not accept a written invitation for consultation, provided that this invitation was received by the trade unions at least two weeks before the proposed date of consultation, or if the trade unions have declared in writing to waive their right to be consulted.
At present, the sanction for non-compliance with the obligations in the WMCO is that the UWV will not consider the applications for dismissal until the employer has fulfilled his obligations. Under the new Act, the employee will be able to nullify the termination of the employment agreement by notice given or by a termination agreement, if the employer has not complied with the obligation to report or to consult. Within six months after the notice was given or the termination agreement was concluded, the employee may rely on this ground for nullification. If the notice given is successfully nullified, the employee remains employed with retroactive effect, and may bring an action for back wages plus statutory interest and increase. So, suppose an employer has to lay off employees due to economic circumstances, and he concludes a termination agreement to that end with ten employees. A month later, the employer applies again for dismissal permits due to economic circumstances for another ten employees, without consulting the trade unions. In that case, the ten termination agreements may be nullified by the employees and the procedure to obtain the ten dismissal permits will be halted until the employer has fulfilled his obligations.
No Retroactive Effect
The legislative change will enter into force on 1 March 2012. Notices and termination agreements dating from before 1 March 2012 will not be counted in – even if the actual termination date is after 1 March 2012 – for purposes of the numerical criterion of 20 employees.
- Alertness is in order for companies with several branches, because all redundancies on commercial grounds within three months within an UWV territory are counted in.
- Termination agreements and all (formal) rescissions are counted in for purposes of the numerical criterion of 20 redundancies.
- Consult the trade unions in good time and put everything down in writing. So if trade unions are not interested in consultations, let them put this down in writing.
- Consultation means deliberation, not agreement; in other words, the consent of the trade unions is not required.

kids these days, amirite?
You've got to speak to them in ways they hear in the places they're listening
How do we where to reach kids?
Data. Data. Data. Some we collect on our own–some is "industry standard" and we'll simply refer to it. Right now, kids are still actively using Snapchat.
What do we say to them?
Here's our advice: don't tell them anything–let them tell YOU what's on their minds. Give them tools that they understand and invite them to feel like they are part of YOUR family.
vermont technical college
As a technical college, there's a lot of pressure for VTC to stay ahead of the technology curve. During one of our meetings, we suggested they explore some ways to augment their admissions process using Snapchat. As the conversation progressed, we decided to create a VTC specific Snapchat filter.
Having this filter lets students literally see themselves at VTC. #verycool

Presidential Primary
If you are registered to vote with a political party, you will be given a ballot for that party in a Presidential primary election.
If you are unaffiliated with any party (sometimes called "no party preference" or "decline to state"), you will be given a nonpartisan ballot, containing only the names of all candidates for nonpartisan offices and any ballot measures to be voted upon at the primary election.
Or, you may be able to request the ballot of one of the political parties at the polls or on your vote-by-mail ballot request form. Each political party has the option of allowing decline-to-state voters to vote in their Presidential primary.
California Statewide Primary
In June 2012, California started using the Top Two Candidate Open Primary system for statewide offices.
- All candidates for a given state or congressional office will be listed on a single Primary Election ballot.
- Voters can vote for the candidate of their choice for these offices.
- The top two candidates, as determined by the voters, will advance to the General Election in November.
Assessing candidates and ballot measures
Check candidate information on the VotersEdge website
- Read statements on candidates and ballot measures in your voter handbook
- Attend candidate debates or watch local forums on community television
- Read about issues on the LWVMC website marinlwv.org
- Find out who is endorsing or opposing the candidate or ballot measure
- Critically examine campaign communications;
- Does the material contain personal attacks, ridicule the candidate, contain statements that cannot be verified or employ scare tactics?
- Who sent or published the material? The candidate? An unknown or poorly identified source?
- Are you receiving a large number of mailing pieces or other communications attacking a candidate or ballot measure?
- Are sponsors clearly identified? (As individuals or just as a committee.)
- Be aware of phone surveys with biased questions about a specific candidate or ballot measure.

I know that Halloween isn't usually a huge event/festivity here in the UK compared to the extent in places such as the US, however its always nice to join in with the fun. So I thought I'd put together a few things to do with Halloween for this year. I hope you like it!
Obviously the main thing most of us will be looking for at Halloween is a fancy dress costume and accessories. Whether you're going to a party or or just a night out on the town, pretty much everyone wears something to join in the fun!

I think Yankee Halloween Candles would add the perfect finishing touches to your home. Yankee have re-released some old favourites, both are dressed in spooky themed jars. One is called Witches Brew and the other Candy Corn, they retail at £16.99 each but are currently available on the "Spooky Pair" offer at 2 for £30. There are also a range of tealight and motive holders available if you didn't want to splash out on the jar candles.
Trick Or Treat? Why not treat your guests to some of these american style sweets and candy for Halloween. How cute are the cupcake kits? If you're not taking the kids trick or treating you could always join in the fun and make these together :) There's also a wide range of other sweets/lollipops/biscuits which you can't usually buy here in the UK at www.americansweets.co.uk
What are you up to this Halloween?
