October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance month. Have you heard of Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (NILMDTS)? This organization is very close to my heart.
When I first began working in the hospital photographing the first 24-48 hours of brand new life, I quickly came to realize that not all were tears of joy and happiness.
I'll never forget the first time I was asked to photograph an early fetal demise of 18 weeks. Tears immediately filled my eyes. I had to step into the office to compose myself as the nurse explained the details. I had never done this before. How would I proceed if I said yes? After a few minutes of many thoughts rushing through my mind, I agreed. The only way I knew how to do this was to ask myself - if this were my baby how would I want to remember him or her? I proceeded down the hall to explain to this young Mom what I was about to do. She was in complete and utter shock with the unexpected passing of her daughter. Her family was much more aware of what was happening. The nurse opened the door and brought her baby in gently placing her in her mother's arms. I photographed and tried my best to lock in these very short moments with her baby as the tears streamed down my face behind my lens...
From that first experience plus many more, I decided to become a volunteer photographer for Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. Their mission is to introduce remembrance photography to parents suffering the loss of a baby with a free gift of professional portraiture. "NILMDTS trains, educates, and mobilizes professional photographers to provide beautiful heirloom portraits to families facing the untimely death of an infant. We believe these images serve as an important step in the family's healing process by honoring the child's legacy."
(Permission was given by this family to share their sensitive story and images from my small perspective as their photographer.)
In early December 2014, I was contacted by this family's close friend explaining their unique situation and asked to photograph Katy & Benjamin Dyall's second son at St. Mary's Medical Center when he arrived. Baby Eli was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. HLHS is a rare congenital defect in which the left heart is severely underdeveloped. Eli was underweight and also had a hypo-plastic right lung, as well as other internal anatomic abnormalities. His combination of syndromes was literally less than one-in-a-million, with only 11 other babies diagnosed with his conditions ever. Unfortunately, their doctors told them that this combination of syndromes made Eli a nearly impossible candidate for life-saving surgical interventions following his delivery.
I received a call early on December 29, 2014 stating Eli Dominic was born at 7:46 am - delivered via caesarean section and kindly asked to meet them at the NICU. I met and spoke to their point person, Daphne, who I was communicating with via phone/text and then sat in the labor/delivery waiting area that was full of visitors - there was one seat left on the opposite side where their extended family gathered. It was a couple of hours before I was able to get back into the NICU and meet this special family and their second baby. In that time, I couldn't help but listen to the various conversations going on around me - visitors getting texts that baby was born, who baby looked like, when they could go see baby - generally very pleasant conversations.
And in the same room, I watched this family with pure heart ache in their eyes, in their soul. No words. Simply could not imagine how they were feeling.
Around noon, Dad came out to introduce himself and bring me back to meet Mom and baby. Mom's bed was wheeled over close to her baby and we watched the nurses work on him in his isolette. She patiently awaited this moment to hold her baby for the very first time...
Family came in one at a time to meet, kiss, share their emotions and tell him how much he was loved. The parents and medical staff discussed the possibility to take him home - away from the hospital atmosphere and transition him to the Little Treasures Palliative Pediatric Care Program. I was not aware that palliative/hospice care was available to newborns/babies. I would stay in contact with Dad if the transition was successful.
I do my best to hold my composure through each of these sensitive sessions - always saying a prayer asking God to help me do the best job I can under the circumstances. It's always once I get into the car, when I break down and have myself a full on cry the entire drive home.
Two days later, I received a phone call from Dad that Eli was successfully transitioned home with 24 hour medical care. On January 2, 2015, I had the honor to photograph the Dyall family in the comfort of their warm and loving home. I stepped in and was welcomed by big brother, Caleb, and surrounded by their medical team & family. The atmosphere and emotions were a mix - the typical new Mom with 2 children, the full on love and gratefulness that Baby Eli was able to experience life in his home, yet also reminded of his fragile state when his Little Treasures nurse, Michael, periodically would come in to check his vitals as we were photographing. I had the beautiful privilege to watch Eli bond and nurse with his Mommy, hear his soft cries, watch his big newborn yawns, hold tightly with his tiny fingers to the adult hands that cared for him, watch his big brother play, kiss, cuddle and jump on the bed as big brothers do, sing their favorite lullaby to him "I See the Moon", observe his Daddy carefully hold his newborn son, smile and speak gentle, soft words of love.
On January 4, 2015, 7 days after birth, I received the news that Baby Eli's time on earth had ended and he had become a sweet angel in heaven...
These are some of their beautiful moments together at home-as a family of 4...
In October 1988, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed October as National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. "When a child loses his parent, they are called an orphan. When a spouse loses his or her partner, they are called a widow or widower. When parents lose their child, there isn't a word to describe them." This month recognizes the loss so many parents experience across the United States and around the world. It is also meant to inform and provide resources for parents who have lost children due to miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, stillbirths, birth defects, SIDS and other causes.
"I could only be grateful when I realized that I would rather have known you for a moment than never at all. I would rather endure this inexplicable pain of outliving you than to never have seen your face, spoken your name. I would rather be yours, and you be mine, regardless. Regardless of the sorrow, the sleepless nights and the years I will walk this earth, carrying you in my heart." - Scribbles & Crumbles

Dear FAA
This possibility really never
occurred to me. I knew it
could happen, but I assumed
I would be at home.
I pictured my own comforter,
my own ringed tub. Certainly I
thought I could stretch out. The woman
on the plane beside me works for you.
She's a wildlife biologist and she
takes away all the food birds might like
around airports so your flocks don't
encounter their flocks. She grew up
in Brussels but met an American professor
on sabbatical. She's asleep now, her blond
dreadlock-beads clicking against the window.
She already told me she is glad she didn't
have children because it makes her transfer
from Denver to Miami much easier. I guess
I don't look pregnant to her and in a few hours
I won't be. Was this your way of preparing me?

Favorite Versus Favorited
It's that time of year again. Many of us professional photographers work up a blog post of our favorite image or images of the year. Yes, I know I'm a bit late to the party as it's now mid-January. It is a useful tool as it allows us to showcase our best stuff and to reflect on the year with a critical eye towards the future.
As I look at what other folks have done it usually makes me want to shoot more, lament on where I didn't travel, and redirect the jealousy by stimulating the creative juices. All good right? Sure, pat on the back and good feels around. This year I wanted to take a different approach and examine the difference between favorite and favorited. It is an important distinction and understanding it can help you direct and advance your work.
Know Your Audience
Every photograph has an audience, even if your intent is that the audience ever only be you. Probably the most important question you can ask yourself as an artist is "Who is my audience?" This becomes ever more important should you want to eventually sell your work. Most of the amateur photographers that I know want to take steps to broaden their audience base so they ask me how to accomplish that. Sadly, there isn't an easy or simple answer. The easiest one is "What do you want with an expanded audience?" Notice I didn't say whom yet. Establishing what you want is important towards setting personal goals and you should have them because the realm of public opinion can be a harsh environment. If you are after the dreaded feedback steel yourself unless of course you are shooting nudes in which case the internet will love you. Seriously, nudity always plays. It's sad really.
Let's do a quick case study of the post image of surfboards. I was in the US Virgin Islands on St. John working for a commerical hospitality client. Bouncing out to Cinnamon Beach, I had hopes of catching some palm trees along the shoreline. Happening by a small shack that rents out water sports equipment, the arrangement of the surfboards looked pretty good so I took a few quick snaps with a black and white treatment in mind and moved on with the rest of my day. No tripod, I didn't bother to look at or adjust any camera settings. As an aside, I was trying to focus on getting a shot of a wild donkey with a beach background because the client really wanted it (see below). It's a local feature of the island and was top of my shooting list. The surfboards went on to be used in an international ad campaign for Banana Republic. I had no idea it would be received that well and honestly think it's a rather pedestrian shot but that does not matter. I was shooting with my future audience in mind and as a professional photographer I want to maximize my image pool. Being mindful of my goals, most of which revolve around revenue generation, helps me to stay focused in the field. Ever heard of the term starving artist? Sure you have and I really think many of these folks don't bother to have a plan other than to make art and then to expect money to mysteriously rain from the sky. Being a professional artist is brutal. Anyone else who tells you otherwise is lying. It takes work, dedication, commitment, and time. Yep, sometimes it takes time. The surfboards shot I took in 2009 and it didn't blow up until 2016 and it did blow up, especially on Pinterest lately. Go figure.
We don't get do overs as photographers. You cannot go back and replicate something exactly as it was previously, even if it is in your own back yard. Knowing who you are shooting for helps you in the moment because it's present then it's history.
So you have this favorite image. The one you are sure everyone and their mother will adore so you put it out there on social media, maybe you even spend some of your hard earned cash to enter it into a contest as you are so confident that the world axis gets realigned just by viewing it. Ok, that was heavy handed but you get the picture. You like it. I've been there. The truth is that just because you adore it does not in any way guarantee that anyone else will and your favorite does not always equal getting favorited.
I have this image that it grabbed on a glorious evening in Joshua Tree National Park. It was one of those just perfect evenings and I was in the zone. We were doing some experimenting with light painting the joshua trees and I found a stand alone subject without much clutter and came up with this great idea to add the moon into the frame but not just the moon itself. I experimented with the aperture settings to get the moon to flare in such a way that it looked like it was sending energy waves to the tree leaning towards it. This was some high brow special type stuff in my mind. It required not only finding a unique spot and set of circumstances but also a bit of actual photographic acumen. I was rather pleased with myself. So, yep I threw it out to the world and entered a contest or two even. The response, meh. I was bummed and if I was relying on that image to put food on the table I was in trouble. You just never know how something will be received that is unless you are John Sexton. If John points to something and calls it his favorite image of the year most people will nod because he's just that good which is not to say any work is above reasonable critisism but just that in any profession there are those on an elite level. I mean elite in a positive way. I'm not sure how we reached the point that it is viewed any other way but that's another issue. To summarize this point, don't let other people's impression of your work define it.
Getting Crafty
Ok man, I've got my audience figured out and hear you telling me not to get too emotionally invested in one shot. How do I do that exactly?
The solution is to work on how you craft an image. Start with practice. Shoot loads of images. Fill up memory cards then get good at editing. Look at image aggregating sites like Flickr, Pinterest, and 500px. Take notes on the images you like the most and why you like them. Ya know, your favorites. Try to replicate them, that's ok. Copying takes effort. It really does. Along the way you will be forced to develop a critical eye and will hone you editing skills. This will later give you the freedom and confidence to experiment and refine your own vision of image-making. Along that road your personal style will emerge and you will hopefully adopt method. Confidence and method are the cornerstones of creating not just an image but a body of work that represents not just a place or a thing but an idea. That is one of the principle differences between amateurs and professionals photographers. The transition lies in knowing it is good enough and why. Unless you want your work to live in a vacuum, the end result will be seeking out people you trust to give you real criticism and not the anemic internet version of it. Haters gonna hate but if you have built the foundation of quality image-making you will be able to shake them off and just focus on the work.
So What Is Your Favorite Of The Year?
My favorite image of 2016 is an iPhone shot of my son climbing a tree. Uncle Mik wanted kiddo and I to check out this expansive oak that he thought was cool. Arborists just see the world a little differently but we were game. Upon arrival, the tree sat in a large field full of rotting pumpkins with a late fall Washington grey sky so it didn't immediately jump out as particularly photographic on that day so I left the Canon in the car. When we got through the minefield, kiddo wanted me to hoist him up so I did onto a lower branch. He straddled it like he was ridding a horse and gazed up into the sky with this great curious expression on his face. I love it. It does what all great images do and that is to make you feel something.
Until next time.
Creatives fight a constant battle on many fronts. The books below have helped me to create the will and armor I need to keep pushing on. Maybe they could help you too.

We're officially half way through the first month of 2017 (say what?!) and I want to know, how are those big, scary goals coming along?
If you're feeling overwhelmed by #AllTheThings it's time to take the first steps in hitting your business goals for 2017. Whether you've decided to dip your toe into wholesale this year or planning to take it to the next level, I want to help you grow your business. I've created some awesome planning sheets for you to put everything in one place. Let the brain dumping begin!
Why Planning is SO Important:
It's easy to become overwhelmed by your to do list. Planning outlines your roadmap to success and breaks down those big, scary goals into achievable baby steps. Sometimes accomplishing the smallest step feels like a major win and it's that feeling that keeps you moving forward.
Grab your FREE Trello Board + Planning Sheets
Why you NEED to set goals:
Simply, Goals=Growth! Writing down your goals and developing a plan to achieve them is something that most people know they should do, but few people actually do. It can be a scary thing to put all your hopes, dreams and aspirations on paper and (gasp!) share them with people!
Here's the deal: Don't feel obligated to put it all out there. Yes, having an accountability partner(s) will help propel you forward and but don't let the fear of sharing keep you from setting goals. Even just putting your goals on paper and keeping them on your desk will help you take the next steps in your business.

LONDON — One of the best-known depictions of Queen Elizabeth I is the "Armada Portrait," which celebrates the British navy's improbable 1588 victory over the Spanish fleet. Painted around 1590 by an unknown artist, it was first owned by Sir Francis Drake, and remains in the hands of his descendants.
Now those heirs have decided to sell the work, one of three versions of the portrait, and in response, British museums and the Art Fund announced on Monday that they have started a campaign to raise 10 million pounds, or about $14.5 million to ensure the painting remains in Britain.
The portrait, unusual in its time for its large size and horizontal format, shows the bejeweled queen, regal and poised, in front of two seascapes; one of the English fleet preparing for battle, the other of the defeated and wrecked Spanish Armada. Her right hand rests on a globe.
"It is the painting that represents everything about the Elizabethan age, including Shakespeare, the moment when England began to rule the waves, and Elizabeth's reign," said Christine Riding, the head of arts at Royal Museums Greenwich, which together with the Art Fund, a national fund-raising group, is leading the campaign to buy the painting for the national collection. "It indicates a gear shift in the national identity, the idea of the plucky English, punching above their weight, of the mythology of Gloriana, and the idea of the queen as a strong and just woman."
The Art Fund has pledged £1 million, and Royal Museum Greenwich said it would use its entire annual acquisition budget of £400,000 toward the purchase.
"We are very anxious that it shouldn't go out on the open market, which will inevitably happen, I'm afraid, if we fail to raise this sum," Stephen Deuchar, the director of the Art Fund, told The Guardian.
The Art Fund, which raised £10 million in 2014 to buy a Van Dyck self-portrait for the National Portrait Gallery in London, has been successful in raising money for campaigns of these kinds, said Madeline Adeane, a spokeswoman. The aim is to raise the money in about two months, during which time the painting will be on display at the National Maritime Museum.
If the campaign is successful, the portrait will be relocated to the Queen's House, on the site of the original Greenwich Palace where Elizabeth I was born. The other two versions are housed at Woburn Abbey and at the National Portrait Gallery.

We will take you on a voyage through personal and professional testimonies concerning freedom of speech and censorship. What threatens free speech Today? What are the limits of free speech in a multi-cultural democracy? Is the debate on free speech framing multiculturalism as a threat in itself, and if so, does is promote acceptance of hate speech? How does freedom of speech/censorship affect the individual?
Through theatre, debate and spoken word these questions will be the pivot of this event presenting acclaimed names within the public debate; Khaterah Parwani and Poyâ Pâkzâd and personal experiences of censorship from Soran Azad. Moderator is Rune Engelbreth Larsen, Board member of Danish PEN.

Friday Update: Week 27/2012, Feudalism system
thasdasdas :: The Castle's Public Quarters (K&B Discussions) :: The Herald's Office :: The Town Crier

Friday Update: Week 27/2012, Feudalism system
A few short weeks ago, as I'm sure most of you know, we released the first ever Knights & Barbarians gameplay video. During it, you may have noticed The_Dude mentioning a new feature in the commentary, called Feudalism.Today it's our pleasure to showcase this feature, and explain the basics of how it works to you!
The Town Square and Feudalism System
The Town Square is a new building we've created (thanks to peugeot407) that takes the place of the Chapter House and the Race Track for civilizations with neither, such as the Italians and the Byzantines.
At the Town Square, there will be three "techs" representing major cities and regions from each major civilization. By choosing one of them, you align your colony with a particular region of your civ in addition to the capital, or home city. This is what we call "Feudalism".I think of it as being the region from where your lords and peasants are actually immigrating from to the new colony being established, while the home city or capital provides you with support based on your strategic and political importance (ergo, the city phase of your new town).
Italy, for example, will have these three cities to form a relationship with:
From left to right: Verona, Breschia, and Ravenna
Once that's completed, three techs will pop up in the Town Square menu. One of them will be available to every city in every civilization, and it will be a scaling Mercantilism-type technology, where every age a certain amount of gold may be exchanged for a greater amount of experience. The other two techs will change depending on the chosen city or region. As a sneak-peek, here are the decided technologies for the Italian city of Breschia.
~ Breschia, Lombard Stronghold
Age III - Guelphic Garrison: Motivated by fear of northern encroachment and adherence to Vatican interests, Breschia's staunch Guelph troops are willing to forgo some payment for the sake of Pope and Piazza. Lessens infantry recruitment cost.
Age IV - Colle Cidneo: Breschia's fortifications have long stood strong, well-tested, and resolute against the ambitions of Emperors and Ghibellines. Improved castles and walls.
In addition to these techs, peasants have the ability to mingle and trade when tasked on the Town Square, giving your colony a much-needed dose of culture and social life while generating XP!
These new technologies, and the ability to spark a Revolution, are our way of evening the playing field between civilizations like the Italians and the unique advantages of the Knightly Orders and Race Tracks of the crusading and muslim civs, not to mention that avenues for improved historical accuracy are a great reason for excitement and motivation here at K&B.
Today's quote comes from the head of our balancing department, iliander.
Can you guess what the new combat formation we're so excited about is?iliander wrote:This of course stays bad against ranged units because of the slow speed. So you would want to use this formation against an incoming army of solely melee units (preferably a smaller amount than the amount of your mystery units, which will mostly be the case with expensive cavalry units such as Knights).
K&B salutes... The K&B team. They've been very welcoming and helpful while bringing the new team member (Synecdoche, the author of this Update) up to speed.
K&B refutes... The heat of midsummer, which seems to be fraying some of our nerves here at K&B. If any of you know how to do a good rain dance, we'd appreciate it.

Gas-turbine technologies for transport, defense and energy industries
NPO Saturn confirmed compliance of its environmental management system and occupational safety management system with international standards
Site news
October 15, 2015, Rybinsk. - In the course of a re-certification audit, NPO Saturn confirmed once again the compliance of its environmental management with the requirements of the ISO 14001:2004 standard. On October 15, 2015 Svetlana Ulyanova, director of Russian subsidiary of DQS-UL Group, presented the Managing Director NPO Saturn JSC Victor Polyakov with a certificate granted by the DQS-UL Group valid for another three years.
The first time NPO Saturn received the DQS and IQNet certificates acknowledging worldwide recognition in the field of environmental management was back on October 25, 2012.
Svetlana Ulyanova: "The international certificate is granted for a 3-year period. Saturn faced the moment when the first cycle of the company's operation under its newly created environmental management system had come to an end. The auditors highly esteemed the system itself and its evolution over time, and concluded that it fully complies with the requirements of the international ISO 14001:2004 to embark on a new 3-year cycle."
Victor Polyakov: "We consider the award of such certificate a great achievement of the entire company and, above all, of those departments that are implementing and enhancing the said management system. We do pay a lot of attention to this activity simply because you cannot be a company recognized worldwide that manufactures high-end products without having a well-established, internationally certified infrastructure which lays foundation for the company's core business. We assume full responsibility for ensuring safe conditions for our industrial operations."
The environmental management system re-certification audit was taking place at NPO Saturn from September 29 through to October 2, 2015. The audit commission representing the DQS company audited 19 structural units of NPO Saturn verifying compliance with the requirements of the international ISO 14001:2004 standard. In parallel, the commission administered a supervisory audit of the occupational safety management system verifying compliance with the requirements of another international standard, the OHSAS 18001:2007. In both fields the obtained results proved to be positive: NPO Saturn was given the "excellent" score while the group of auditors hadn't discovered any discrepancies having thus acknowledged yet again that the observance of the standards really pays off.
Ensuring occupational safety and exercising the industrial and environmental protection are without any doubt on the NPO Saturn priority list. This is explained not only by the stringent authority regulations but also by the company's realizing its responsibility to the community as an important element of the corporate social responsibility and a key factor for its sustainable development. Occupational safety is construed to ensure human protection and preserve the natural state of the environment. Among NPO Saturn's strong points, the auditors highlighted the company's attitude towards the environmental issues. In particular, today NPO Saturn ranks 37th among Russian companies in terms of the environmental activity which is a very good indicator for a machine-building company. Among the system tools, the auditors rated effective the "Standards" data search system, the system of submitting and processing improvement initiatives, the process of working with subcontractors, the introduction of power-saving systems and the establishment of a sanitary zone. The experts also named as an advantage the company's ability to use its knowledge of management systems in defending its position in court, dealing with the authorities' resolutions and with the interested parties.
The NPO Saturn Research and Production Association (OJSC) is an engine-manufacturing company specialized in the design and development, production, and after-market support of gas turbine engines for military and commercial aviation, naval ships, and power-generating plants and gas-pumping units. The association is part of the Union of Russian Mechanical Engineers, an All-Russian public organization.
NPO Saturn is part of United Engine Corporation (JSC) and acts as the leader of the Commercial Engines Division, a business unit of UEC founded on 09.10.2012 as a result of integration of the following companies: NPO Saturn (OJSC), Aviadvigatel (OJSC), PMZ (OJSC), Metallist-PM (CJSC), Energetik-PM (OJSC), Motoservis-PM (CJSC), and Zheleznodorozhnik-PM (CJSC).
United Engine Corporation (JSC) (a Rostec State Corporation company) is an integrated organization specialized in the design and development, serial production, and after-market support of the engines for military and commercial aviation, space programs, the Navy, as well as for the oil and gas industry, and power generation. One of UEC's prioritized fields of activity is the implementation of comprehensive programs of development of the companies in the industry by introducing new technologies meeting the world-class standards. In 2014 revenues of the corporation amounted to RUB 199.9 billion.

Muscle activation uses a system of reflexes throughout the body that awakens muscles by stimulating the neural and lymphatic systems. The muscles can then function at their maximum potential in strength, power, endurance and flexibility within the kinetic chain. The application range from great gains, rehabilitation and improved sports performance, but also correction of compensatory patterns and release of tight structures throughout the body that cause pain and dysfunction.
How it works?
The body can be compared to an electrical system just like any other, when it overloaded a fuse blows. When we correct the blown fuse the body is then fixed and can work at its maximum potential.
Muscle activation is effective in the following situations:
Postural limitation, previous injury, high stress / anxiety levels, faulty breathing mechanics, activities that we are involved in everyday life can lead to compensatory patterns in the body. These patterns create a snowball effect of muscles throughout the body, that are not performing their specific role in the body. This means that other muscles will have to perform the role of these muscles. These compensations reduce the ability of the body. This means other muscles will have to perform the role of these muscles. These compensations reduce the ability of the body to function at its highest effectiveness and ultimately increase the risk of injury and reduce performance.
Muscle activation creates greater structural integrity in the body, allowing it to function at higher levels of strength, power, flexibility, endurance, speed, balance and coordination. By increasing the body's ability to perform we also reduce the risk of injury. The results are both immediate and measurable, this means that we can do a test, add intervention and retest immediately see/feel positive results.
Principles of muscle activation
- When you are defending you cannot be performing
- What is in the mind is in the body
- What is in the body is in the mind
- When we connect the mind to the muscle the body shifts
If you are experiencing pain, can't overcome an injury, are stuck in a plateau, looking to improve sports performance or generally increase your body's function Limitless Mind Body would love to support you by any means possible on your journey.

Hitting a roadblock or not sure you're getting that "Skills" section right? Here are a few of our best practices and tips for perfecting your 78 Cents Project resume template.
1. Find the "why"
Instead of just listing out the tasks you completed, try to show the hiring manager why they were important to the success of your current or former employers.
- Bad example: Color-coded files to better organize our office's casework
- Better example: Created an office-wide process for organizing casework, which allowed us to uncover client patterns and develop new, optimized workflows
2. Spin your experience, but don't lie
In the above, the better example shows the outcome of the candidate's color-coded filing system. While it's important to "spin" your experience to show why you were important to the mission of your previous or current company, it's imperative that you never lie about anything on your resume.
The best way to check yourself is to ensure that every statement on your resume could be proven true, with a bit of effort:
- Would your current or previous boss (and reference) verify each statement?
- Do you have the exact documents you designed, wrote or created?
Be sure that you are staying inside the lines as you spin your experience to potential employers.
3. Use active voice
Check each sentence or bullet for passive voice, which can make even the smartest and most capable candidates sound lackluster. If you can add "by me" to any idea on your resume, you're using passive voice.
- Bad example: A better budget system was implemented across all departments in less than three months
- Better example: Introduced and integrated a new budget system across all departments in less than three months
4. Use content sections to draw out your BEST skills, expertise or achievements
Each of our templates has a section that calls out the expertise, skills, achievements or authored works of the candidate. This is an excellent way to fill in a resume whether you only have a few years of experience to show off or you want to draw out your best skills after 30 years in the workforce.
Don't panic if you can't immediately fill in the section that we have pre-loaded into our template. Instead, add in content or ideas that bring out the best in you.
Here are ideas for content sections you can swap in and out:
- Expertise — Think general concepts, like Public Policy, Data Analysis, Event Production
- Professional or Technical Skills — Specific things you know how to do. Everything from Portrait Photography to Content Writing to HTML Coding can fit here
- Supported applications — If you work in design, tech or other technical fields, be sure to list the exact programs or applications you use proficiently
- Authored Works — Showcase any published work from grad school or online publications
- Professional References — Be sure to include them if the description asks for them. If you run out of space, repurpose the Cover Letter template to create a References page
- Awards or Achievements — Did you graduate Summa Cum Laude or were you awarded Employee of the Month? Be sure to talk up the times that you've been recognized for your talents or intelligence
5. White space is better than overly cluttered
Hiring managers are busy and they may receive hundreds of resumes for each position they post. We designed our templates so they stand out in the pack and so they can be easily skimmed. Be sure not to overload the page with too much content.
6. Advertise your social media profiles if they're going to help you
Within the contact section of the resume, include a link to your LinkedIn profile if you have one. Only include links to other social media platforms if they:
- Are open // unlocked to the public
- Show off skills that will be directly used in your professional work
- Are free of profanity, NSFW imagery or other graphics and content that could jeopardize your ability to get hired
6. Use short URLs to make it easier for the hiring committee to find your work online
If you offer any links within your resume, be sure the links are as short as possible. Social profile URLs should be just fine but if your links are long, shorten them for free at https://bitly.com.
Have any other questions?
Include them in your email to the 78 Cents Project team when you submit your resume for review. We're happy to spend extra time on the sections that you're unsure of or to help you draw out an experience or skill that doesn't seem to fit anywhere in your selected template.

Are Austin's no-kill shelters adopting out dangerous dogs?
The veterinarian who runs Austin Pets Alive says the claims about dangerous dogs being adopted out are unfounded.
AUSTIN (KXAN) -- This month marks the 5th anniversary of Austin becoming the nation's largest no-kill city, saving 90 percent or more of the homeless pets that enter the Austin Animal Center. While the goal seems like a win for pets and people, a surprising group of critics is blaming Austin's no-kill policy for adopting out dangerous dogs to avoid euthanizing them.
To be classified as a no-kill shelter, Austin cannot euthanize more than 10 percent of the animals it takes in. Maintaining the status of no-kill also comes with a big price tag. City documents point directly to the no-kill policy as the reason for spending more and more of your tax dollars. In the time since city leaders first started discussing the policy in 2008, the Austin Animal Services' budget has increased by 146 percent to nearly $12 million. Also in that time, the number of employees has increased from 81.5 to 106.5 employees.
Last fall, public outcry saved Neville from being euthanized after he bit a child who was visiting the Austin Pets Alive! shelter. The shelter says they told the family not to put their child on the ground, but they did anyway. While a judge originally ordered the dog to be euthanized, the judge reconsidered his order and outlined criteria that any potential adopter must meet.
"No-kill is responsible for putting aggressive dogs out there."—Patt Nordyke, Texas Federation of Animal Care Societies
In the aftermath, dog trainers reached out to KXAN saying the city shelter and its partners are putting the public in danger by adopting out aggressive dogs in order to maintain its status as a no-kill city.
Trainer Jennifer Burns say some dogs are too dangerous and should have never been adopted out. "There really needs to be... a lot more responsibility taken on where these dogs are going, what homes they're going to. I don't think the screening process is really all that great," said Burns.
The Austin Animal Center does no formal evaluations on dogs, only what it calls "observations." And based on those observations, nearly all dogs are deemed safe to adopt. In fact, more and more so. In 2009, the year before the no-kill policy went into effect, the city shelter euthanized about seven percent of dogs it deemed aggressive; compare that to around just one percent last year.
The city says numbers don't drive their decisions. "I don't ask about statistics or numbers. We are not meeting a quota. And it is not a numbers game for us," said Tawny Hammond, Director of Austin Animal Center. "It's truly ethical decisions we are making about animal sheltering and the safety of our community. And no-kill and the safety of our community are absolutely compatible. The data shows they are compatible."
Tips Before Adopting a Dog
- Do your research
- Bring a trainer with you to the shelter to evaluate signs for aggression
- Make a list of what you want in a pet
- Go in with questions
- Consider rescue groups, since they usually hand pick dogs and put them into foster homes
But the data shows something different. Last year, Travis County hit a record with 1,696 reported dog bites, a 58 percent increase since 2009. In that same time, the population only increased 16 percent, meaning the number of dog bites is growing at faster rate. Currently, there is no information indicating how many of the dog bites involve dogs that were adopted from the city shelter.
"There is no evidence to suggest what the trainers are saying is true. And for us to say could it happen, maybe, should it happen, maybe. I can't do that. It is not fair", said Hammond.
But it's not just dog trainers criticizing No-kill.
"No-kill is responsible for putting aggressive dogs out there," said Patt Nordyke with the Texas Federation of Animal Care Societies, which works with animal welfare agencies to protect and care for animals. Her organization includes animal shelter directors from across the state who are concerned about the impact the policy is having in Austin. "Because they are adopting out animals, aggressive animals that have not been properly screened so that they can keep their 90 percent save rate. This is detrimental to the health and safety of the community as a whole."
Austin Pets Alive!
Many dogs end up at the city's largest non-profit partner, Austin Pets Alive, which also has a no-kill mission. The veterinarian who runs the agency says the claims about dangerous dogs being adopted out are unfounded.
"I think it is a ridiculously false statement. No kill is not about saving animals at any cost. It is about public safety, it's about animal quality of life, it is about not killing animals for no reason any more," said Dr. Ellen Jefferson, Executive Director of Austin Pets Alive.
In order to find every dog a home, APA uses marketing videos showing dogs at their least threatening.
"No kill is not about saving animals at any cost."—Dr. Ellen Jefferson, APA!
On the APA's website, Max is described as "an absolute love bug" with a "sweet demeanor." But, that's not the Max we met when we went undercover with a hidden camera inside APA's shelter. The dog lunged at the fence and growled aggressively when we approached his kennel. Later, staffers warned Max is afraid of strangers and could bite. When we inquired about the possibility of adopting Max, they said he needs a very specific home, no kids and no other dogs.
APA admits Max's "positive" marketing is meant to draw in perspective owners. "We want to see the best this dog can be, but we also want to talk to our public openly and honestly about here are the great things, and here are the things we want to help you with", said Mike Kaviani, APA's Dog Behavior Team manager.
But even with help, some adopters return dogs because they're too aggressive. When dogs are returned, Jefferson says they do try to find another suitable home for the dog but it depends on the situation.
"Every situation is different, every dog is different," said Jefferson.
"We don't want to be adopting out an animal that is going to turn around and attack someone. and when they get an animal that does that and comes back in, they turn around and adopt that animal out again. That is absolutely absurd," said Nordyke.
Toby was a dog Diana Walker says she just couldn't resist when she went to APA. "Could be the sweetest and most affectionate, and then turn around and bite you," said Walker. In the year since she adopted Toby, she says the Yorkie bit her nearly a dozen times. "I've got the scars to prove it and the photos of the wounds. It was horrifying."
Walker says Toby is an example of a dog being adopted out despite having a history of biting. After multiple bites and multiple adoptions at APA, he finally came to live with Walker, who says workers did tell her about his history and thought she could handle him. But in the end, she had to make the tough call on her own. "I had to make the appointment to euthanize," said Walker. "Even though I signed the APA contract that says if it doesn't work out I'd bring him back, I could not risk him being adopted out to somebody else, and somebody else possibly getting bit far worse than me and my family did."
Colleen Lynn is another vocal critic of no-kill. She addressed city council members in 2012, complaining the rising number of dog bites in Travis County was tied to the no-kill policy. Lynn was seriously injured when she was attacked by a neighbor's dog in 2007 while living in Seattle. She later moved to Austin to run a public education website about dangerous dogs.
"The motto of no-kill is: Save them all. And our motto is: They can't all be saved. Nor should they, for public safety reasons. There are some dogs that don't belong in our neighborhoods," said Lynn.
And while there are critics, there are also many who support the no-kill policy and how the agencies work to rehabilitate dogs.
Leah Manners told us the story of her dog, Frank. She says when Frank first came to Austin Pets Alive!, he was labeled "aggressive" and not good with people. But workers spent a year training Frank before putting him up for adoption
"I think they gave a dog like Frank a second chance. And I think he deserved it, and he has turned into an incredible dog," said Manners.

academic, arts, creativity, education, ken robinson, schools, TED talks, video
Going about my day of research on the internet, I happened upon another wonderful resource-TED!
TED began in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences — the TED Conference and TEDGlobal — TED includes the award-winning TED Talks video site, the Open Translation Project and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize.
Basically it is all about sharing ideas through talks. Twice a year, TED holds a conference with thought leaders from around the world who share some of their amazing and often mind-blowing talks. The recordings (videos) are then published online for the rest of the world to learn,enjoy and share! You can even create your own by joining a TEDX event, all absolutely free!
TED-Ideas worth spreading
This brings us to my first TED video for the day with our speaker, Ken Robinson
A bit about Ken, before we begin–
A visionary cultural leader, Sir Ken led the British government's 1998 advisory committee on creative and cultural education, a massive inquiry into the significance of creativity in the educational system and the economy, and was knighted in 2003 for his achievements. His 2009 book, The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything, is a New York Times bestseller and has been translated into 21 languages. A 10th anniversary edition of his classic work on creativity and innovation, Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative, was published in 2011. His latest book, Finding Your Element: How to Discover Your Talents and Passions and Transform Your Life, will be published by Viking in May 2013.
This TED talk discusses the thought of schools killing the creativity in our children.
Honestly, at first I wasn't sure how I'd go with this subject, as I had the idea of it being quite boring…but Ken completely surprised me and I found myself engrossed! He made the whole experience a pleasure, keeping his audience engaged with his humourous approach of some rather serious subjects. His methods held me captivated throughout, and I finished on a high note still able to recount his thoughts on this topic.We are encouraged to question our own thoughts on "creativity" and "education", whislt chewing over some very interesting points about a system that seems solely designed for the academic basics.
So how important is creativity in the child's education? Ken believes it to be just as important as literature in education, and should be treated in the same status."I don't believe we gorw into creativity, we grow out of it…or rather, we get educated out of it!"
"All children are born artists, the problem is to remain an artist as we grow up." – Picasso
Having traveled to various countries, Ken notes the fact there are always hierarchies in education, and every system is the same, no matter where you go-
There are the hierarchy of subjects, for example: at the top, you have mathematics and laguages, then humanities while at the bottom, sits the Arts.
There's even a hierarchy within the arts:Art and music are normally given higher ratings in schools over drama & dance-nowhere on the planet will you find a class that teaches dance, the same way in which it teaches maths. Why? Then again, why not? (yes, Ken…why not indeed?!)
And although Ken acknowledges the importance of mathematics in education, he believes "dance" should share this status. " As children grow up, we educate them from their waist up…then we focus on their heads(and slightly to one side). If you were to visit education as an "alien", and asked 'what's it all for?', Think you'd have to conclude the whole purpose of education; throughout the world, is to produce university professors.
A typical professor lives in his head-disembodied in a kind of literal way."
Benign advice which is profoundly mistaken!
The hiearchy is written on two ideas:
The first, based upon this hiearchy status, the most useful topics to find work would be those placed at the top…."So as a kid, you benignly steered away from the subjects you liked, with fear of not getting a job." ie: don't do music, you are not going to be a musician. The second, is the academic ability which has come to dominate our view of intelligence because universities designed the system in their image. Fascinating stuff!
He continues…"If you think about it, there are many talented and quite gifted people who think they're not…simply because what they were good at, at school wasn't "valued"-or was actually stigmatised!"
"Can we go on this way" Ken asks…and I answer a defiant "NO"!
In fact in the next thirty years, more people will be graduating through education than since the beginning of history-And it's the combination of all things discussed thus far-that technology and its transformation effect on demography and the huge population explosion whereby degrees aren't worth anything-
When Ken was a student, if you had a degree, you had a job. "Yet now, these kids with degrees are usually heading home to play a video game."
The entire structure of education is shifting thorugh a process of academic inflation so we need to radically re-think our views on intelligence.
Three key points on intelligence:
1. It's diverse-we think about the world in all the ways we experience it.
2. It's dynamic-if you look at the brain's interactions, intelligence is wonderfully interactive. The brain doesn't divide itself into compartments in fact, more often than not comes about from the interaction of different ways of seeing things.
Creativity is made up of original ideas that have value.
3. It's distinct-here Ken explains the distinct creativity by sharing a lovely example-story of his friend, the dance/choreographer, Gillian Lynne, who as a child, was considered to be suffering with a "learning problem" but in fact, merely had a love and talent for "dance". I actually did some 'multi-tasking' here, (something Ken mentions women being quite good at…due to us having a larger corpus callosum-we can transfer data between the right and left hemispheres faster than men.) and "googled" for more information which I highly recommend you doing also.
So to sum this all up as best I can using one sentence, we need to re-evaluate our thoughts on the human capacity because human intelligence is very much multi-dimensional!

Escaping the Basque Winter is a chance. Our destination: Morocco. Our motivation: the warm weather and the long rights.
Nothing beats surf trips. Especially in the middle of winter, with a nice swell coming for the whole week. After a day having around in the busy streets of Marrakech, we hit the road, direction South for our first surf session in Imsouane.
Days follows the rhythm of the tide: waiting for the low tide to enjoy the long rights of the Bay, eating fresh fish on the port and drinking mint tea. But It's already time to go. Let's follow the swell south.
After long hours on the road, driving on dusty roads in the middle of nowhere, we end up in Mirleft, a beautiful town perched on a cliff, where the Atlantic swells end their journey…
Morocco is unique. The colors, the tastes, the people, the landscapes, the waves! Everything is good. But the best thing about it, it's only 2 hours from home!

The Paris Marathon 2014
THE THIRTY-EIGHTH PARIS MARATHON took place yesterday. More than forty thousand runners from over one hundred countries competed over the 26 miles and 385 yards (42.195 kilometres) course from the Champs-Elysées to the Avenue Foch via the Bois de Vincennes and Bois de Boulogne.
In 2012, I watched the race and recorded sounds close to the finish in the Avenue Foch so this year I thought I would find a vantage point somewhere near the start.
I wanted to capture the sounds of all the runners passing by so at just before eight o'clock on Sunday morning I established my pitch and set up my microphones in the rue de Rivoli just beyond the one-mile point.
When I arrived, the rue de Rivoli seemed a little eerie. It was the only time since I've lived in Paris that I've seen this most elegant of streets completely deserted – save for the police trucks hastily towing away the last remaining parked cars which I'm sure completely ruined several people's day!
The Paris Marathon starts in the Champs Elysées and the first to start were the wheelchair athletes. At a little after 8.30 and accompanied by a convoy of police and official cars they passed by me.
Following the wheelchairs came the handisports athletes including several blind runners each tethered to a guide.
Paris Marathon 2014 – Wheelchair and Handisports Athletes:
The sound of these athletes passing was soon subsumed by the sound of the French television helicopter slithering sideways overhead with its powerful cameras trained on the elite athletes who were about to enter the rue de Rivoli.
At the head of the elite group was a tightly packed bunch of world-class marathon athletes setting what was to prove to be a blistering pace.
And quite close behind came another elite group including two of the fastest women in the race.
And next came the best of the rest.
Paris Marathon 2014:
After the elite group and the best of the rest, a mass of runners converged in the rue de Rivoli each with their own personal challenge ahead of them. Wave after wave of them passed me right down to the very last man.
The last runner to enter the rue de Rivoli
I stayed in my place on rue de Rivoli and recorded the sounds until every one of the competitors in this year's Paris Marathon had passed by me. It took a little under two hours for them all to pass.
I didn't think about it at the time but I now know that about ten minutes after the last runner entered the rue de Rivoli with about 26 miles of running still ahead of him, the winner was crossing the finishing line in the Avenue Foch.
And the winner was Kenenisa Bekele from Ethiopia.
Image via ethiopiaforums.com
Bekele, the three-time Olympic champion on the track and 5,000m and 10,000m record holder, crossed the finish line in 2 hours, 5 minutes, 3 seconds – breaking the previous course record set by Kenya's Stanley Biwott in 2012.
In the women's race, the pre-race favourite, Flomena Cheyech of Kenya finished in a new personal best time of 2 hours, 22 minutes, 41 seconds.
The double Paralympic silver medallist, Marcel Hug, won the wheelchair race.
The first six men and women finishers were:
1. Kenenisa Bekele (ETH) 2:05:03
2. Limenih Getachew (ETH) 2:06:49

All the sounds I recorded in the rue de Rivoli have been consigned to my Paris Soundscapes Archive as a permanent record of yesterday's event.
Incidentally, why is it that some women runners who see a man wearing headphones standing behind a microphone on the edge of the road give a wave and a friendly smile whereas some men insist on leaning over and shouting into the microphone? Maybe it's a question of testosterone overload!
In all, 39,115 athletes completed the 2014 Paris Marathon. Here are more images of some of them as they began their marathon run around Paris.

Hi Thank you for doing this. It brought back memories. I was one of the runners, taking on the challenge after our 25yr old London based daughter asked me to join her in this "bucket list" goal. Your site is informative and answered my question as to how many runners actually did it. The Organization running it had said 50,000 on their web site. I am from NZ and Paris truly was a very beautiful place to run. I had never run a marathon before not even a half marathon, but with training and lots of help from God, I reached the finish line in 5 hrs 32min.Thankyou for all your efforts.

Friday Favorites - May 5th 2017/
TGIF. Life is good. Life is fruitful. Life is flying by!
Welcome to the month of May. May is a time when the weather is a bit out of control as the last hints of cooler weather sometimes blow through battling the oppressive heat and humidity lurking before us. May is a time when you can feel the excitement of students of all ages anticipating the last weeks of school before summer break. May is a time when we all dream and plan for fun vacations and time out of the office. May is a time for less traffic on the roads and easier parking at work because of vacationing. Need I go on? May will be wonderful.
Speaking of wonderful, I'll dive right into my favorites over the last couple of weeks. I'm linking up with Andrea in sharing Friday Favorites. In no particular order:
Favorite #1
I was cleaning and organizing around my place to get rid of stuff and came across the photocopied chapter of the first thing I ever read on the treadmill. This photocopy was given to me by my friend Meagan and I remember thinking to myself, why not try to read while you run? Maybe that will make the drudgery of running pass more quickly. This was in 2012... I remember thinking, "HOLY MOLY! I've hit the jackpot!" Not only did I love the content of the chapter so much that it kept me intrigued, but it made the time pass exceptionally fast. That was the moment I began to always bring a photocopy and later my iPad to read books on the treadmill. What was interesting/sentimental to me about all of this is that the chapter is from Timothy Keller's book The Meaning of Marriage. While I loved this chapter enough to continue reading on the treadmill (and always relationship/marriage books at that), I didn't actually get around to reading the The Meaning of Marriage until the summer of 2016. I'll admit, I've loved just about every Christian marriage book I've read but this one is definitely in my list of top favorites. I wish I had read it sooner.
You can purchase the book below. The chapter I read that day was Chapter 10: The Mission of Marriage.
Favorite #2
I've been making a concerted effort to escape the hustle and bustle of my usual life's obligations in Houston these past couple of weekends and block off time so that I do not accept invitations for other things. I cannot express enough how blessed I feel to have the opportunity to do so many wonderful things and to see so many wonderful people, but that also comes with the cost of burning the candle at both ends and apparently high stress. I have thoroughly enjoyed the last two weekends that I escaped the city to spend quality time with others and to get to see my (local) family. I am ever so grateful to have the best family a girl could ask for. Resort ambiance, great company, laughter, and wine will get me every time. =)
Favorite #3
I was thrilled to be invited to try on some of these fabulous dresses I've shared from Carrie Ann's ~ and have more to share soon! They are a small representation of the chic outfits and accessories she has in her boutique for any and all occasions. May presents a lot of opportunities to dress up: Cinco de Mayo (today!), Kentucky Derby (tomorrow), Mother's Day, and Memorial Day. Fortunately you can stop by there any Monday through Saturday to pick out an outfit or three, but even better will be next Saturday, May 13th when Carrie Ann's will have a Mother's Day celebration from 12-3pm when you can save 20% off your purchase! Hello sip & shop! My favorite combination. =)
Be on the lookout over the next week for me to share additional outfits from Carrie Ann's on my Instagram.
Favorite #4
This outfit. I'm not truly sure why I'm posting this as I can't precisely link in ANY of the items because I either bought them too long ago or I acquired them on some super sale recently that they're not even available any longer. However, I can link in similar items so thought I might as well because it was cute and extra comfortable for a fun, group dinner. The great thing about a simple outfit is that it provides a great canvas for accessorizing. This particular evening I wore (giant) chandelier Tory Burch earrings, but a statement necklace would have worked perfectly over the white tank as well. Plus, I loved the detail in the wedge of my shoe as you can see in the flat lay below.
You can click here, click on either of the two picks, or copy and paste this link into your browser to find similar items to the first picture: http://www.shopstyle.com/collective/everypiecefits/42839722
Favorite #5
One of my BFF's, Rachel, is leading a class every Wednesday in May to bring awareness about human trafficking and to end human trafficking. I could not be more proud of her efforts in fighting something so horrific that is absurdly prevalent in our city right beneath our noses, and that she has taken the lead to organize this class and push herself at God's promptings to step way out of her comfort zones.
If you are anything like me, then you are relatively naive to the fact that sex slavery is happening all around us all of the time and that it affects both genders, all ages, all nationalities, and ALL social classes including the very affluent individuals in Houston. Of course, this spans across the US and other countries as well. However, we can join in the efforts to fight against it in our city.
If you can attend the class you will be enlightened in many ways. If you cannot attend the class then I encourage you to email email@example.com to find out more information and ways that you can help the victims and our city.
This is definitely not the end of my favorites from this week but I will save it for next week's edition. =) I'm wishing everyone a wonderful (and safe) weekend celebrating Cinco de Mayo and the Kentucky Derby, as well as any other fun things you may have planned!

Latvia seeks to soothe nerves after bank failure and bribery scandal
ECB shuts ailing ABLV bank amid North Korea money laundering claims
Latvia's prime minister Maris Kucinskis: the Baltic state sought to restore confidence in its scandal-hit banking sector. Photograph: Yves Herman/Reuters
Latvian officials are due to hold an emergency meeting on Monday after the European Central Bank wound up the country's third-largest lender, ABLV, which suffered a funding crisis amid claims of money-laundering linked to North Korea.
Latvian prime minister Maris Kucinskis announced the gathering of top financial regulators as the Baltic state sought to restore confidence in its scandal-hit banking sector.
The ECB initially ordered ABLV to halt all payments last Monday, two days after Latvian central bank chief Ilmars Rimsevics was detained in a separate case for allegedly seeking a bribe of at least €100,000.
He denies the accusations, and Mr Kucinskis criticised the head of another Latvian bank for making similar allegations against Mr Rimsevics, while the country's defence ministry said the affair could be part of a disinformation campaign by a foreign power.
On Saturday, the ECB announced that ABLV and a Luxembourg-based subsidiary were "failing or likely to fail".
"Due to the significant deterioration of its liquidity, the bank is likely unable to pay its debts or other liabilities as they fall due. The bank did not have sufficient funds which are immediately available to withstand stressed outflows of deposits before the payout procedure of the Latvian deposit guarantee fund starts," the ECB said.
Deposits protected
The survival of ABLV was not deemed crucial to Latvia's banking system and so it will now be shut down, with eligible deposits of up to €100,000 protected by the state guarantee fund.
The bank's troubles began when the US Treasury called earlier this month for it to be banned from holding a US correspondent account, due to "institutionalised money laundering" and exposure to "large-scale illicit activity connected to Azerbaijan, Russia, and Ukraine. "
"Illicit financial activity at the bank includes transactions for parties connected to UN-designated entities, some of which are involved in North Korea's procurement or export of ballistic missiles," the Treasury Department alleged.
ABLV denied the allegations – and insisted it was sound enough to survive and blamed unspecified "political considerations" for its demise – but its failure and the scandal around Mr Rimsevics have rekindled concern over Latvia's banks.
The EU and Nato member of two million, wedged between Russia, Estonia, Lithuania and Belarus, became a key conduit in the 1990s for money moving between former Soviet states and the West.
Billions of euro from criminal schemes have allegedly been funnelled through Latvian lenders, forcing regulators to tighten controls that have reduced the proportion of non-resident clients on its banks' books to around 40 percent.
"I am convinced both about the stability of the Latvian financial sector and the ability to take significant steps so that the banking sector could regain its reputation," Mr Kucinskis declared.
Latvia's officials insist its financial system is stable, but confidence has also been rattled by the bribery allegations against its central bank chief of 17 years.
Mr Rimsevics – who reportedly suffered a mysterious break-in at his house on Friday night – says he is the victim of a smear campaign by banks that oppose the fight against money laundering.

Laperouse Museum items – France's Bicentennary Gift – consigned to the tip by National ParksPosted by: admin in Government, History
The museum was jointly created, funded and given to the people of Australia by the French government and the Laperouse Association for the Australian Bicentenary (LAAB), a Franco-Australian group of individual residents and companies. The collection (see link – Inventory Laperouse Museum 22 February 1988) contained 132 items and was then valued at $235,685. Item 67 was the Altar Stone (in 4pieces) from La Boussole. This was more than likely used when celebrating the first christian services in the newly proclaimed British colony and would have been used for the funeral mass for Father Receveur. The Receveur Tree Trunk, valued at $50,000 is item 92. Peter Taylor's sculpture of Laperouse, Item 93, is valued at $6000.
The La Perouse Cable Station was renovated to incorporate the Museum in it's southern wing*. A paint scheme appropriate for the late 19th century building and featuring customised stencil work was chosen. A mural was commissioned for the ceiling of the Wrecks room. In the years following other items, such as the John Winch tapestry, were added. The following link to the Friends of the Laperouse Museum website provides evidence of the work undertaken during the establishment of the Museum and the years that followed.
The Museum attracted school visits and international and local tourists. There was a heavy emphasis on science and maritime history – particularly relevant today when Botany Bay is home to Australia's largest airport and second largest sea port. In 2002 National Parks centralised visitor services on Sydney Harbour and there was a subsequent decline in numbers. Although the Friends of the Laperouse Museum were willing volunteers for guided tours and research the National Parks Service (the managers for the Museum, Bare Island and other areas of Botany Bay National Park) didn't take the opportunity to enlist them into a viable program. In 2009 on the pretext of 'revitalising' the exhibition the Museum was closed for painting. This occurred a few working days before a planned Tourism network event aimed at obtaining new sponsors. The Museum remained closed for late Spring and most of summer (the La Perouse high tourist season) while the painting took place. When re-opened it was found that the stencilling had been painted out – see some of what was lost – and the Laperouse exhibition which had occupied 6 rooms was reduced to 2. The items that had been removed were stacked in a store room (see photos above). The story of the Laperouse journey of the Pacific and French exploration was lost and while some new panels were added these were of questionable value. For example on one panel the Laperouse Monument is recorded as being commissioned in 1824 (it was 1825); on another Frenchman's Bay is recorded as Frenchmen's Bay. This new arrangement was not a success and now National Parks are planning to consign the Laperouse legacy to 'one of many stories'. See previous post on proposed Interpretation Plan
National Parks also 'manage' Bare Island, which is poorly utilized. There is scope to allow commercial activities and incorporate an aboriginal cultural centre at Bare Island as well as allow volunteer Friends organisations rooms to manage the interpretation of local military history and the Snakemen legacy. Instead, what remains of the Laperouse Museum will be dismantled so National Parks managers can experiment once again at 'revitalisation' – this time to promote a 'potpourri' approach to our heritage. National Parks managers don't have a Marketing Strategy and there has been very little information about Laperouse on their website. They have failed to promote key events and have not engaged volunteers**.
*Note that the Northern Wing was a self-contained Aboriginal Arts and Crafts Gallery which was run externally by members in the local Aboriginal Community. When this proved unsuccessful it was replaced with a gallery displaying aboriginal and other local history and environmental heritage and this was run by National Parks.
**The Botanic Gardens, which is a sister organisation in the Office of Heritage and Environment, has a thriving volunteer program administered directly and also another run through its very successful Friends organisation. It has been able to do this because management values volunteers (see link ).


text: Candace and I are having a terrific time together and learning so much! We were invited to attend a workshop with eight of the worlds greatest event photographers. There are only 50 attendees. Each of us has the opportunity to shoot the models and pose/play with them on our own. We missed the 1st of only two days of shooting because we had three Weddings on Oct 1st. Being jet lagged and cameraless thanks to Aegean Airlines we literally had to borrow equipment from Kim Ponsky and Bambi Cantrell! They were very generous to allow us to shoot with their cameras! The critique was very difficult for me! I never had the experience of having 7 judges looking at my work. Candy could tell that I was extremely nervous. Each of us were allowed to submit only two images. The image I felt had the best chance of winning was the image with the very "excited" dog! Candy playing with the dog was my automatic inspiration for the shot! The Model seemed annoyed pretending to sip tea on a still in the middle of the street (not my idea) and after 5 minutes of huffing I respectfully asked for my turn! Without Heather to work on my image it scored the 2nd highest and the judges said it would have scored much higher even had it been worked better in photoshop! With the help of an amazing Photographer from Russia Sasha I now have a Winning image for this years upcoming WPPI! Anyway it is all great fun. Here are a few images from our 1st day shooting including the before/after shot with Sasha's help. I really wish he spoke english! Thank you Heather and studio team for holding things together! Thank you Grammy, sister in laws and our monkeys for letting us have this experience! Candy and I just got our camera case now that we are ready to go home!

Weekly Recap: Training Reboot Week 22 (8/20-8/26)
Vacation mode on (sort of)
This week I took off from freelance work and the day job. I also apparently messed up last week's blog post in the process. I had duplicated it to get ready for this week's, deleted a bunch of stuff, and then saved the wrong one as published. The published one ended up being the half-edited one that I was writing for this week.
This is what happens when my brain is too full, you guys. Anyway, last week's blog post is fixed now. My brain? Still overloaded.
Sadly, "vacation" didn't do much to fix my overloaded brain. Using the word "vacation" to describe trips home to Lancaster, Pa. is a bit of a misnomer. Our time is so crammed full and all we do is run from one group of people to the next - constantly. By mid-week, B was so tired and having meltdowns every 5 minutes.
Next time we go home, I'm saying no to the insanity and planning a few events where people can meet us out (and one will probably be a get together at the house we stay at). Otherwise, there's no running around like loons. It's exhausting.
Workout Summary
|  Monday
|  Off
|  Tuesday
|  Run: 3.3 miles at 8:54 pace
|  Wednesday
|  Off
|  Thursday
|  Run: 3.2 miles at 8:10 pace
|  Friday
|  Off
|  Saturday
|  Travel day
|  Sunday
|  Run: 5 miles at 9:25 pace
|  Totals
  3 runs/10.5 miles
  Total workouts: 3 (plus tons of walking)
It's probably needless to say, but my vacation schedule (I'll post a recap with pictures later) ended up being even nuttier than the prior week when I was working during the day. That meant I didn't get any yoga workouts in during my week off, even though I desperately needed them. The mattress at the house we stayed at absolutely killed my back and hips, and I woke up in pain every day.
I'm glad I have the chiropractor booked this coming week. I probably should also get a massage and visit Stretch Zone. And probably yoga, too. It's amazing the difference a good (or bad) mattress makes.
I also cut back a little on running, and only ran three times. We did tons and tons of walking, so every day I had close to 20,000 steps even when I didn't run.
I only did two runs in Lancaster last week, but they were good ones! The cooler temps were such a nice break. And Lancaster has a few hills and inclines, so that was also a nice change. I miss hills. But by Sunday, I traded in those cooler temps and lower humidity of the city for the crazy heat indexes and sky high dew points back in Charleston. At least I had saltwater views? Small favors.
I was pretty tired on Sunday from vacation and the long car ride, so I just ran slow and easy (and short).
I only have a few more weeks to lollygag before fall training kicks in. I have a solid race schedule planned and I'm really hoping to see some PRs, too. Over the past few months, I've built a good base so I feel ready to start the training ramp up (if only the weather would cooperate a bit).
How was your week? Do you keep up with workouts while on vacation or do you take a break?
