As some of you may know I have family roots in the state of
Chihuahua, both my parents and both my grandparents (on both sides of the
family) were all born there, I am the first generation born in Canada. My
mother's whole family moved to Canada when she was a young girl, so she does
not have too many memories of Mexico but my father didn't come to Canada until
he was a young man, and he came alone. To this day I still have aunts, uncles
and many many cousins still living in the state of Chihuahua, scattered from
Cuauhtemoc to Saladas.
This was my 4th visit, once as a child with my parents when
I was 8, once with my daughter when she was 11, and once with my daughter and
my mother, and now alone.
|My loop trip
I have done it a few different ways, I've flown there from Canada and then taken the train from Chihuahua through the Copper Canyons to Los Mochis and then a bus to Mazatlan, or I have flown to Mazatlan and taken a bus to Los mochis and then the train through the canyons to Cuauhtemoc. This trip was always combined with a trip to Mazatlan. This time I took a bus from Mazatlan to Cuauhtemoc and then took the train to Los Mochis and then a bus back to Mazatlan. That has put me on planes, trains, buses, boats and cars this winter.....sounds like a movie.
The bus from Mazatlan to Cuauhtemoc is a 17 hour ride, In
Chihuahua city you do a bus switch, this is where I was a dumb ass and missed
my bus. Let me splain the bus system to you. When you buy your ticket there is
a bus number on the ticket, then you go outside where many many bus lines pull
up to drop off people and reload and hit the road (quickly), so you find your
bus that has a number that matches your ticket, if your bus is not there yet
you ask one of the "bus directors" that are standing around and being
ever so helpful. Here is the problem with "ever so helpful". Mexican
men take the whole "macho" thing to a whole new level than American
men. If you ask them something that they do not know the answer to they will
still give you an answer, they will make stuff up, not because they are
deceitful or mean or because they get kicks out of sending you on a wild goose
chase, they just want to help, seriously....it's really very sweet, they want to help you so bad that
they make stuff up, they can't just say "I don't know", this is not a personnel thing
it is a cultural thing. For the most part you can get around this by learning
how to ask things (different story). So, I let my guard down (14 hours on a bus
can do that to you) and messed up. Was told to wait "here" for my
bus, when in fact my bus had already left, but I wasn't alone. Another Mexican
couple asked the same guy (I overheard this) and they were told to wait
"here" as well....see, not personal and confirmation that it wasn't
my Spanish that had failed here......that is always a huge probability too.
So what now? Wait 3 hours for the next bus? Not in Mexico,
once it was determined that we had been given false information......yes we
both tattled on the guy, another bus was pulled out of the parking lot and we
got a private bus trip to Cuauhtemoc. Seriously. Not sure if this would have
happened if the Mexican couple had not been there as well, but I do know this
would never have happened in Canada regardless of why you missed the bus.
The reason for taking the bus up was to see the new road to
Durango and the world's highest suspension bridge but as it turned out we
passed through in the dark, which I knew, but passing during the day met
arriving too early in the morning (or too late at night) for my family to pick
me up at the other end. My destination is not Cuauhtemoc but a small town
called Rubio. However I did see the bridge because it is lit up nicely, I just
didn't get pictures so I stole these off the internet. It is beautiful at night
too, well worth the trip. It's like seeing the Eiffel tower at night, it's
beautiful during the day but almost magical at night, as is this bridge. Had
this been a sightseeing trip I would have made
the trip in 2 or 3 days but it wasn't, I was in a hurry to get there. I
had left this trip to the very end of my stay in Mexico and was in a hurry to
get back to the Island to spend my last days there. This happens to me very
year, once I get settled on the Island I don't want to leave, I want to travel
around and see things but I just can't leave. I've stayed too long, become too
attached (different story).
|The world's highest suspension bridge, It is in the Guinness Book of records
|She's a beauty
My cousin picked me up at the bus station in Cuauhtemoc and drove me to Rubio giving us time to catch up. Oh, the weather.....ugh! Cold, windy, dry dry air.....shockingly dry for me coming from a high humidity area, so dry it burns the nose, makes your skin crinkle and itch and ages you as soon as you cross the Sinaloa-Chihuahua border, your insides dry up too. If feels like everything in your intestines shrivels up and sticks to the sides and won't come out.....you get the picture. Reminded me of Philips Seymour Hoffman's line in Cold Mountain "if they open my gut up right now they would find turds stacked up like little black twigs". ... yeah, enough about that, It's dry. The wind howls and blows, luckily they all built their houses like the smart little pig....of bricks, houses made of sticks would have blown away. I think there are only two crooked tress in Chihuahua that are taller than me (but not wider) this is because the German people have a tendency to clear all the land without leaving a single tree, they work up the land right up to the back of the house, up to the side of the shops, garages, and barns, never leaving even a single row of trees. Unlike in Sinaloa, in Chihuahua they can only have one crop a year because of cold winters, during the winter months the land is worked up, all you can see for miles and miles is black dirt......and then the wind comes. I used to think it was dirty and dusty on Stone Island......not, I will never complain of dust on the Island again.
|Now, Imagine a wind blowing through here.....close your eyes
|Nothing to stop the wind
|Apple orchids
|Land is worked up right to the house, see the mountains in the background, you can't get away from them
|How lonely, how cold, how brown.......the mountains are beautiful though, never
It was so cold I wore all my clothes I had brought with me at once, a pair of fleece lined leggings saved my life, and I went out and bought some socks, I came without socks, what was I thinking? My past visits had never been in the winter. When I tell you what the temperature was my Canadian friends will snort and laugh, but remember no heat in the homes, or in stores or in the restaurants except for little electric or propane powered portable heaters that they are all too cheap for to crank on high, there is just enough heat to keep you alive. The temperature went from a -3C overnight to 16C (that was the high) during the day and a 150mph wind (that's a "feels like" guess).....don't forget, stick dry air, and remember where I had come from, 33C with 90% humidly. You get the idea....carrying on now.
The mountains of Chihuahua have a way of romancing me, they
court my heart, they make me feel like I am the star in a movie, and old old
movie, it's old, but right away I know I have seen it before, I don't think
it's a good movie, I think it's a sad movie, I don't think I would like to
watch it never mind be in it, but for some reason I know my lines well making
me feel like I am meant to be in it, I fit, I remember it like it like it was
filmed yesterday........but I can just feel it, I get drawn in. I know it's not my
story but it rouses me when I see the mountains. The story that belongs to my
father, most of which he took with him when he passed away, but the mountains
stayed behind and since they don't talk I can only wonder what the rest of the
story is. ......and I ask my aunts and uncles to tell me stories of how they
survived this desert like land and squeezed a decent living out of the dry
rocky countryside with their hands. I dig through their old pictures and try to
imagine what if.....what if I hadn't been born in Canada, what if I had been
born here, am I privileged for having grown up in Canada or did I miss out on
something. I feel I missed out. Those mountains always bring these questions.
They pull at me, every time I look up, there they are, pleading with me, telling me I belong here, my roots are here, part of me says I should be here,
then I quickly look away, shiver from the wind, squint my eyes to keep the dust
out. Never.
Then later I forget and I am awed once again by the mountains and I imagine myself with a little square plot of land, a little brick house, a little chicken coop and some sheep or goats in a white fence, a little apple orchid, making a living selling eggs, butter, apples, apple pie and knitted mittens, scarves and wool socks, speaking German/Spanish, braiding my hair (that would become dreadlocks), snorting Vaseline up my nose, I can almost see it when I am focused on the those mountains....... thank goodness when I look away I remember it's not my story or my movie.
I cruise around in my aunts car and visit cousins after
cousins, I pet calves, cows, little wee kittens, I go from fabric store to
fabric store (didn't even buy any), I attend a Spanish/German church, I eat
progies & sausage, noodle soup, tacos and beans, pie, and good old fashion
German Hones broden. I see cowboys, little boys in overalls, cowboy boots and
belt buckles of all sizes and kinds. Lots of the cowboys here wear the cowboy
gear, whereas in Sinaloa the cowboys are barefoot or in flip flops (unless they
are going dancing) It's more of a "wild west" like look here, the rough
terrain and the dress, the vehicles, there seems to be more "attitude"
as opposed to the relaxed "ahhh manana, manana" ways of Sinaloa,
these people are more driven by making money, no laying in hammocks at 4:00 pm
here, not sure I even saw hammocks.
The farmers are indeed big farmers, not content to just harvest enough to feed themselves, they are after big crops, filling semi trucks after semi trucks of corn. All you see is corn, unlike Sinaloa where we have a variety of crops, everything from tomatoes, chilis, onions, lemons, mangos, papaya, etc, colorful crops. Along with the big farms here you see big farm equipment, nice shiny green farm equipment, and a John Deere dealership on every corner (across from the fabric store) unlike Sinaloa where we see tractors that are held together by twine, string, tape and Gods grace, tractors that were bought from Tio Jose's nephew carlos's wife's brother Rigo.....not from a shiny John Deere dealership. I've never even seen a new farm equipment dealership in Sinaloa. Chihuahua is real farm country, I even saw hay bales, I have never seen hay bales in Sinaloa.
My mother's family came from Rubio (right here) which is very very much farm
country, and very straight and staunch German, my father's family came from
Pedroneles, more ranch like and more Mexican, although they were German, it
seemed my grandfather didn't like to go with the flow, he liked things a bit
more messier than the straight, manicured, orderly German farm thus not ever
really fitting in with his German neighbors so they opted to live in a more
Mexican populated area, more ranch like, less orderly, where the chickens
aren't penned and the goats run wild, the clothes line hangs low with the
sheets brushing against the chicken poop on the ground, the cowboy rides his
horse to the front door and walks into the house with his shitty boots. The ranch
cowboy drinks beer on Friday night, howls at the moon and dances around a fire,
his gun is a show piece, and his shirts have colorful flowers embroidered on
the shoulder pieces, and his cowboy boots are pointed. He lives high on the hog
when he has money and lowly when he
The farm cowboy has a nice little chicken coop, all animals
are fenced in with nice red barns, the clothes line flies high, there is a walk
way leading to the house and a porch where you leave your square toed cowboy
boots, he has no time for dancing and howling at the moon is just for fools and
coyotes, he hides his gun until it is time to slaughter a pig, his plain shirts
are freshly ironed under his overhauls. He manages his money so he can live
simply all the time. He hides his beer and drinks in secret.(haha, I made that up....maybe)
These two places exist here not far from each other but ever
so different, my father came from one and my mother from the other, same...only
different. Me....I'm a mix, sometimes I am tore between the 2 worlds. Sometimes
I like things orderly and straight and sometimes I like them more mixed up,
but, I always howl at the moon (when I'm alone), and I am not hiding a gun or
beer, but I would love embroidered flowers on my shirts and I prefer flip flops
over cowboys boots.....guess I am not a cowboy at all. Just don't look at the
mountains of Chihuahua, turn the other way, south to Sinaloa.
|My great grandmothers house, as it stands today, empty, abandoned. A new roof and one could move in. Never
|Ready to seed, waiting for spring
|2 different worlds can sometimes only be 1 hr and 45 minutes apart
From Cuauhtemoc I take the train to Los Mochis, I am tired from laying in my bed shivering at nights and am still carrying my little black sticks with me, all in all not feeling overly great, I am thinking I will sleep the whole way, I have taken this same train through the same Copper Canyons 2 times before, I have seen it all, (so I think) I will sleep and when I get to Mochis I will jump on a night bus and head home. Not. Did not sleep a wink, the view from the big windows is amazing all the way. It was very noticeable when we crossed the border to Sinaloa, almost immediately it got greener and more colorful, more tropical, lush and full. Since I didn't sleep I decided against getting on a night bus and got a room in Mochis and had a good warm night's sleep and a relaxing morning with coffee and sunshine and Chilaquiles with beans for breakfast. Oh it was so warm. I never realized how much I love Sinaloa (now that the Chihuahua mountains are out of sight and can't woo me).
|Copper Canyons
|starting to get greener and more trees
|but yet still a little too brown for me
I left my little black sticks behind and got on a bus to go home to Mazatlan. On the 6 hour bus ride through Sinaloa I fell in love over and over and over again. I love Sinaloa. I love that the corn was standing 7 feet tall with the second crop in the next field just starting, I love the rows and rows of tomatoes plants with shiny red tomatoes, I love the chili trucks on the road, loaded to the top, I love the messy ranches, but most of all I like the trees, big bushy trees, everywhere, and the flowers and the colorful houses and the laundry hanging on the ground, the kids running around barefoot, the trees, oh the beautiful trees. Just when I thought I couldn't be more in love with sinaloa.....there it was, behind green field of tomatoes, the ocean, the ocean, the reason I don't have to snort Vaseline anymore, the reason my skin feels younger the reason for the salty taste when I lick my lips, the reason my hair goes wild and will not be tamed.
|And then BAM! Sinaloa, the corn is high
|See the trees in the background
|See how the land is not worked up on the right
|trees, and water
|Soft mountains in the back, and trees
|Farmland and mountain
|Mountains behind farm land on one side of the road....
|The ocean behind farmland on the other side of the road....the best of all worlds
We have mountains in Sinaloa too, they just look softer and aren't so demanding on you (me) as the ones in Chihuahua, they don't try to steal you away, they are what they are, they complete the landscape. They don't have to romance me, I'm already in love with them. Sinaloa be still my heart.
|Home.....where the horse run wild. Stone Island
Just to clarify, my mother's family packed up and moved to Canada when she was 8 so she didn;t really grow up in Rubio but she did grow up in a German farm community in Northern Alberta, where the wash line flies high, where there is a walk way leading to the house, a porch where you take your boots............

Hello Perfect Pear readers! How are you doing this wondering Easter season?! My name is Justine, from A New Beginning.
I am so glad to be here to share an Easter tradition that my family likes to do every year!
We love to make cookies, colorful ones.
We die them different colors, and use all kinds of different frostings, we really like the funfetti frosting thought!
After we make a batch, we get cheap cute containers to give them away! This year it was the target 1$ section.
Cute right?! So we package them up and give them away! Usually to family members, sometimes neighbors and people from church. The Easter season is one of my favorites. Do you have any traditions that you do?!
Thanks so much!!

1.Introduction: Uncertainties associated with "Investment Analyses"
Alternatives methods Decision making process Optimization of financial resources
Objectives: Main Objective:
Demonstrate the use of fuzzy logic in the evaluation of investment projects under uncertaint conditions; Secondary Objective: Presentation of a software prototype to calculate the fuzzy NPV and relative analyses.
Methodological aspects:
The research method to be used is known as "quasi-experiment": Pre and Post Test, TROCHIN (2001). Doesn't have total control over the input variables of the system, BRYMAN (1989). There's a non-random treatment of the experiment, TROCHIN (2001). Where the human behavior is present, TROCHIN (apud GONÇALVES (2003)).

Defuzzyfication of the NPV (if necessary) Comparison with the Deterministic NPV - The Proxy Pretest Design
Literature revision The Fuzzy Logic:
Fuzzy logic is a bridge which connects the human thinking to the machine's logic; In a fuzzy set, the transitions between a member or a non-member occur continuously; The degree of "membership is not probability", but a measure of compatibility between object and the concept represented by the fuzzy set.
4.1. Membership Fuction - Example:
d a b c A a b c d A a b c d x 1 1 A a b c d x 0.5 Boolean Logic (binary) Fuzzy Logic (continuous) A(x): Membership
4.2. Fuzzy Number – General Definition, KUCHTA (1996)
Where: are real numbers and : is a continuous real function non decreasing defined in the interval [0,1], such that: and : is a continuous real function non increasing defined in the interval [0,1], such that: and
4.3. Fuzzy Number: A(x) 1 x a1 a2 a3 a4
A = (a1, a2, a3) 4.4. Triangular Fuzzy Number (TFN):
If and are linear functions and a2 = a 3: A (x) 1 a1 a2 a3 x A = (a1, a2, a3)
4.5. Fuzzy Number – Example I:
A "Fuzzy Set" representing the NPV: "Rates: Low/Medium/High" 1 High Low 0.6 Medium 0.4 10% 18% 26% ROR
4.6. Fuzzy Number – Example II:
A Fuzzy Set representing: (The value of one Dolar on 16/10/03): "Subjectivity" 1 0.5 2,6 2, ,0 Reais
Operations with Triangular Fuzzy Numbers (TFN):
Addition: If A = (a1, a2, a3) and B = (b1, b2, b3), so: A (+) B = (a1, a2, a3) + (b1, b2, b3) = (a1 + b1, a2 + b2, a3 + b3), is a TFN. Example: 0,5 1 11 A B A + B x µ(x)
Subtraction: B If A = (a1, a2, a3) and B = (b1, b2, b3), so:
A (-) B = (a1, a2, a3) - (b1, b2, b3) = (a1 - b3, a2 - b2, a3 - b1), is a TFN. Example: 0,5 1 A - B A B x µ(x) B
Aproach by Chiu e Park (1994)
Multiplication: Using the line equations: A * B = [[Al(y)* Bl(y), Ar(y)*Br(y)] is not a TFN. Example: 0,5 1 A B A x B x µ(x) Aproach by Chiu e Park (1994)
Division: (two diferents cases)
1) If A and B are both positives: A / B = [Al(y)/ Br(y), Ar(y)/Bl(y)] 2) If A is positive and B is negative: A / B = [Al(y)/ Bl(y), Ar(y)/Br(y)] The result in the first case is a positive fuzzy number and in the second case is a negative fuzzy number.
undefined An: (where n is a real number)
AB: (where B is a TFN (b1, b2, b3)) undefined
x undefined AB: (where B is a TFN (b1, b2, b3))
An: (where n is a real number) x AB: (where B is a TFN (b1, b2, b3)) undefined
Fuzzyfication and Defuzzyfication:
Fuzzyfication: Is the maping of real numbers domain (generally discrete) to the fuzzy domain. Defuzzyfication: Is the proceeding in which the value of the output linguistic, inferred by the fuzzy rules, will be transletad to a discrete value. SHAW I. S. (1999)
1 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 ROR (%) Fuzzyfication's example: Very Low
Medium High Very High ROR (%)
Defuzzyfication's example:
1 Very bad Bad Medium Good Very good NPV 8000
The Net Present Value: Where: NPV: net present value
CF0: first cash flow CFi: cash flow on period i (i=1...n) n: number of periods r: discount rate
Application of Fuzzy Numbers in Investiments Analysis:
The Fuzzy Net Present Value: According to BUCKLEY (1987) the Membership Function to NPV is givem: To i = 1, 2, ... where k = i if F is negative and k = 3 - i if F is positive. Comparing:
Analyzing the Fuzzy NPV
"Investiment Sure and Viable"
"Investiment Sure and Unviable"

"Investiment Unsure and Unviable"
Negative area Positive area
Real Case Aplication: 10.1. The Problem:
Observing the great expansion of its clients business, and having abundant available raw material, the Mining company has shown interest in the feldspar processing, and in entering in the market as a competitor of its clients.
10.3. NPV Calculations Using Software Excel
The value of NPV found is R$ ,38. Therefore, in a simple Deterministic evaluation, the investiment could be acepted.

Decision of the company
Fuzzy classification array of the failure possibility of the investment Decision of the company Very Low Unconditionally Accept Low Accept with caution Average Accept under restrictions High (27.51%) Reject and review project Very High Unconditionally Reject "Investment Projects Acceptance Criteria"
Conclusions: 1) The most relevant conclusion, concerns the comparison of the deterministic NPV with the Fuzzy NPV, being the "uncertainty" dimension made a go investment, in the deterministic method, turn into a rejected one.
Conclusions: 2) The way to evaluate an investment doesn't change much, when applied to another object of analyses. 3) One of the most relevant information, obtained from the fuzzy NPV, is the failure possibility of the project, it is obtained from a proportion of the area seen under the membership curve, which takes us to an analogy with the PDF (Probability Density Function) using statistical methods.
Conclusions: The uncertainty associated with the fuzzy NPV, is characterized by the amplitude of the fuzzy number that represents the fuzzy NPV, that is, "a3 – a1", therefore, the "uncertainty associated to the investment" and the "investment viability" are totally independent. It is also important to point out the great visual analyses power of the fuzzy number, the visualization of the membership graph takes us to another analyses dimension, improving even more the decision making resources.
Conclusions: The computerized resources allow us to deal with possible difficulties found in the calculation, with speed and accuracy, what happens with "Fuzzyinvest 1.0". The software values the visual aspect and the relevant information, emphasizing the membership graph and the failure possibility.

Humanitarian Disarmament in Zimbabwe
Landmines in Zimbabwe were laid in the 1970's during its war for independence.
The mine problem is concentrated to 5 known areas along the Mozambique border. The scope of the problem is massive with more than 2 million landmine laid on approximately 500km2 of minefields. According to The Landmine and Cluster Munition Monitor report (2011) there have been over 1,500 reported landmine casualties to date in Zimbabwe. Those most affected by landmines are often the poorest in the country. The contamination limits access to safe and clean drinking water, agricultural and grazing land, safe cross border interaction and commercial developmental programmes.
MBT : state party; clearance deadline: 1 January 2015.
CCM : not a state party.
Norwegian People's Aid's (NPA) Humanitarian Disarmament Programme in Zimbabwe was established in 2012, and operations began in early 2013. NPA was tasked with 3 of the 5 known mined areas in Zimbabwe for survey and clearance . In addition to supporting with other capacity building efforts. NPA was the first international humanitarian demining operator to work in Zimbabwe.
NPA is currently operating on both sides of the Zimbabwe/Mozambique border providing a unique portal of information.
NPA is one of only two international operators in Zimbabwe.
Norwegian People's Aid is in a partnership with organizations at a local and national level in Zimbabwe, as well as at a regional level in Southern Africa.

Most of the published biological literature is wrong. It's a perhaps less than well known fact, but it is a fact nonetheless: estimates from industry are that around 75%+ of published results are wrong, and our own experience in lab backs that up. I personally think the reasons for this range from black to white, with black being outright fraud (which I think is relatively rare), and white being honest mistakes or misinterpretations of data (probably reasonably common). Then there are all those things in the gray area, including selective exclusion of results that don't fit the "story". If I had to guess, I would bet that most of the reasons why results don't replicate fall into this gray zone. There are lots of potential reasons for these sorts of problems, funding, pressure for positive results, etc. Perhaps it is just our own humanity that gets in the way.
So what to do about it? I've read about people who have suggested two options, the carrot and the stick. The stick would be that somebody has to reproduce every study, and you are somehow shamed or shunned or something like that if you are caught out. Trouble is, who's going to do all this reproduction? That's a lot of time and effort. Then there's the carrot. I like this a bit better. Here, if you want, you can submit your study for verification. If it verifies, then you get some sort of seal of approval. Over time, if this idea catches on, then you would basically have to submit your work for verification for anyone to believe it, and the carrot turns into the stick.
Meanwhile, back in reality, I think it's very unlikely for any of this to ever happen. First off, who's going to pay for it? And is it worth paying for? In a way, pharma companies who actually need their stuff to really work are the ones paying for it now–they try to replicate the experiments they need, finding that the majority (if not the vast majority) are wrong, and then follow up on the ones that prove reproducible. It's perhaps not ideal to have the literature cluttered up with all these wrong results, but what's the alternative? Plus, just because something is not reproducible in someone else's lab doesn't mean that it's wrong per se. Often times, the issue is that biological systems just behave differently for reasons we don't understand, giving different results in different labs on different days. I think we've all had those "must be something in the water" moments. Umm... don't have much useful to say about that... :)
I think that another option is to train our students to better sort out the good stuff from the bad stuff. This is so difficult! People commonly note that a well-trained student can quickly rip almost any paper to shreds. Which is true and counterproductive. I've found that one strategy that has worked for us is to start with a basic question and then look up the papers that help to establish a system in which to answer said question. These papers tend to be (but are not always) less high profile, but they also seem to be at least somewhat more reproducible than high-profile papers, so you can actually build off them. So many times, I feel like successful projects are really based on a well-thumbed handful of solid, detailed, technical papers.
The other thing to do is to surround yourself with zero bullshit people who will challenge your assumptions at every step. It can be hard to deal with at times because doing science is just so generally crazy and risky, but it will make you a better scientist. And a reality-based scientist.

Job Hunting? How and Where to Find IT Marketing JobsIf you are looking for job in IT marketing, here are a few quick tips and resources, several of which may be especially valuable to Millennials who do not have the historical or traditional insights on job hunting shared by seasoned industry veterans:
Note: I find the honest approach works best: "Dear [former colleague], Since we last spoke in 2011, I see you have taken a new role at EMC. I have been working as a product marketing manager for Cisco, but was laid off in August as part of their restructuring. I would appreciate your help with any job openings at your company or contacts at other firms that may be hiring. Specifically, I am looking for [one sentence describing your search criteria]. My resume is attached. I will call you next week to discuss the job market and look forward to catching up with you."
- If you currently employed but looking to move, be patient as you conduct a subtle search for new opportunities. This is no time to jeopardize your career or income.
- If you are currently unemployed, approach your search as a full-time job. Like a good salesperson, you will need 6-8 solid opportunities to land a new position.
- Your best opportunities still come from referrals, so work your professional network thoroughly and, well, professionally. Send personal, individual emails specifically asking for their help and then follow up with telephone calls.
- If you are not working and don't already have relationships with recruiters, I would skip this tactic and move to job sites.
- Most job sites like Marketing Ladders and Monster.com primary pull job listings from company pages, so I recommend using only their free services. There are two outstanding sites that have pulled ahead of the pack:
- LinkedIn/Jobs – The new de facto standard for job postings. Check for new listings early and often to beat the competition.
- Sue Connelly's KITlist — A down-home network of IT professionals sharing jobs. Although most positions are located in the San Francisco Bay Area, this is also tremendous resource to learn which companies are hiring.
Many of the tips may be Old School, but the maturing IT industry is still run primarily by Gen X and Gen Y workers who respond well to traditional methods. If you have alternate ideas on where and how to find IT marketing jobs today, please reply!Jim Novy is the Founder of IT Marketing World, a community where the industry's brightest minds share actionable best practices.VN:R_U [1.9.7_1111]Job Hunting? How and Where to Find IT Marketing Jobs,
- Create an excellent resume that you will customize for each opportunity. Keep it concise but descriptive with a brief Summary of Qualifications and job history including responsibilities and major accomplishments. Include all dates and explain large gaps. Be cognizant of keywords that resume scanners will flag. Avoid format or design gimmicks, jargon and unnecessary information like MS Office skills, references and hobbies.
- When responding to a job opening, do your homework and go all out. If the job is worth pursuing, it is worth a thoughtful & compelling cover letter directed to the hiring manager along with a resume customized to the job description. Cookie-cutter resumes with a generic cover letter or no cover letter at all will eliminate you from consideration and robs you of an opportunity to convince the hiring manager of the benefits of hiring you.
- Ditto for interview preparation, follow-up letters and thank yous to the person who referred you. Manners matter and will make the difference between getting the interview, job offer and future referrals…or not. Note to Millennials: Yes, you must mail or hand-deliver a personal hand-written or typed note as a follow-up to any non-Millennial hiring manager — an email message makes you look lazy.

Clique aqui para baixar o disco/Download the album - Mediafire . enviado por J. Neto
Antes que pudesse ficar prejudicado com o excesso de reedições de trabalhos feitos há muitos anos, representativos de outra fase de sua vida artística, com Waldir Azevedo, um dos grandes executantes da cavaquinho no Brasil, que permaneceu quase uma década afastada da vida artística (6 anos em Brasília, onde sofreu acidente num dos dedos), Waldir retornou à vida artística no ano passado e neste período já fez várias gravações. Mas agora, tem, finalmente, um elepê à altura de seu imenso talento (Continental, novembro/77).
Como contamos nesta página, há algumas semanas, Waldir gravou "magoado", um choro do violonista Dilermando Reis, que o desafiou originalmente pra violão. Pena que Dilermando não esteja vivo para ouvir a gravação. Temos certeza que se emocionaria. "Flor do Cerrado", incluído no disco, é a mais recente composição de Waldir: foi feita no dia 20/9/77, no avião que levava Waldir de Brasília a São Paulo. Em "Cavaquinho Seresteiro", o solo de violão é feito por Hamilton Costa, parceiro de Waldir em "Contraste" e autor do bonito choro "Pra Esquecer", também incluído neste disco.
As outras faixas são de músicas conhecidas - mas grandemente valorizadas pela sensibilidade de Waldir: "É do Que Há" (Luiz Americano), "Chão de Estrelas" (Orestes Barbosa / Silvio Caldas), "Vassourinhas" (Mathias da Rocha / Joana Ramos), "Choro Negro" (Paulinho da Viola / Fernando Costa). "Brejeiro" (Ernesto Nazareth), "Flor do Acabate" (Álvaro Sandim) e "São Paulo Quatrocentão" (Garoto / Chiquinho).
Waldir Azevedo was the most successful composer and musician of the genre choro, and maybe of all Brazilian music, in relative terms. A pioneer in the exploration of the instrument cavaquinho, his themes, simple and communicative, always succeeded in capturing the attention of listeners. Azevedo recorded 132 compositions in diverse genres, 50 78s, and 20 LP's (including one shared with his rival Jacob do Bandolim). His songs were also recorded in Japan, Germany, and the U.S.A., where the Percy Faith Orchestra's recording of "Delicado" sold over a million copies.
Azevedo's first instrument was the flute, at age seven. Soon he also learned mandolin and then cavaquinho. Learning the six and seven-string violões (acoustic guitars), he performed in public for the first time on the flute, in 1933. His wish was to become an aviator, but his cardiac condition impeded it. Singing and playing the tenor violão he joined the group Águias de Prata, which performed at the Copacabana Palace and recorded an album for Victor. Meanwhile, he was employed at Light Company.
As Dilermando Reis needed a cavaquinho player for his regional, Azevedo was auditioned at Rádio Clube right in the middle of his honeymoon and got the job, holding the position for two years. In 1947, Reis departed for his solo career and Azevedo took the leadership of the regional. He accompanied hundreds of artists, from novice to star, and began to draw the attention of the listeners towards his own compositions. As the recording company Continental was in the same building, he was invited to record his piece "Brasileirinho," after several radio performances. The invitation coincided with the departure of Jacob do Bandolim, his biggest rival, from Continental to RCA Victor. "Brasileirinho," released in December, was a huge success from the start.
The '50s also were productive for Azevedo, who recorded other big hits like the baião "Delicado," the choro "Pedacinhos do Céu," "Chiquita," and "Vê se Gostas," among others. Azevedo toured South America and Europe for 11 years, including two tours sponsored by the Brazilian diplomatic service Itamarati, the Caravanas da Música Brasileira. In London, England, he appeared in a BBC show broadcast to 52 countries.
In 1964, a car accident killed his daughter, which pushed him into a dark period of depression. In 1967 he learned to read and write music. In 1971, living in Brasília DF, he suffered an accident in which he almost lost his third finger and had to abandon music for one and a half years. After several surgeries, he returned to live performance in 1974, at the Clube do Choro of Brasília. Enjoying the choro revival of the '70s, Azevedo soon began to record again and to perform in TV shows, such as Sabor Bem Brasil, Seis e Meia, Pixinguinha, Choro na Praça, and others.
In November 1989, 30 years of success of "Brasileirinho" was remembered in a tribute show at São Paulo's Teatro Municipal. Along with Azevedo played Paulinho da Viola, Ademilde Fonseca, Paulo Moura, and others.

Italian side Roma are trying to take advantage of Southampton's difficult situation by signing Gaston Ramirez - after the resignation of executive chairman Nicola Cortese.
Southamtpon signed the Uruguayan attacking midfielder in the summer of 2012 after paying £12m to Bolonia to secure his services but Ramirez has failed to make the impact expected in the Premier League and he is considering a return to Italy.
Fiorentina, Genoa and Inter Milan have linked with him in the latest weeks and according to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport Roma have joined the race to secure the midfielder's services.
With the impressive emergence of Adam Lallana and with Jay Rodriguez improving, Ramirez has played a bit-part under Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino, starting just one Premier League game this season and he is willing to move away.
Roma are set to to take advantage of his lack of minutes and Southampton's turbulent situation by signing the Uruguayan for a cut-price deal.
However, new chairman Katharina Liebherr has recently claimed that Cortese's resignation will not going to affect the team and that Southampton will not sell any players during this January transfer window.
"The club has no plans to sell any of the squad during the January transfer window. The manager and the team have my full support," she said.
Nevertheles, Pochettino, who had already declared that he will remain at the club, has admitted that Cortese's departure may affect the players, with Luke Shaw, Lallana and Rickie Lambert also have been linked with a move this January.
"It's clear that it may affect the players as they all have varying degrees of relationship with Nicola Cortese, and of course his leaving may affect us in some way."

Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry oil and gas Director General Djoko Siswanto has said PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia has proposed a higher split from the oil extracted in Rokan Block if the company gets a contract extension.
The demand was made when the company, the local unit of the United States-based oil and gas giant Chevron Corp, submitted a document to the government to extend the contract, which will end in 2021, the official said.
Djoko said initially that Chevron wanted to maintain the existing cost-recovery scheme.
"We said no way if they want to use the cost recovery scheme. But later, the company agreed to use the gross split production sharing scheme," said the official, adding that the company had demanded a higher split.
Djoko said he did not yet know the exact split demanded by the company, as the company was now revising the document.
"We will evaluate [the proposal]. There is no agreement yet from the government," said Djoko in Jakarta on Thursday as reported by kontan.co.id.
He said the higher split was needed because the company wanted to boost oil production by using the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) surfactant in full scale.
Djoko explained that with conventional technology, only 60 percent of oil reserves could be extracted, while another 40 percent could be extracted by using EOR technology.
Chevron projects that with the technology, the Rokan Block could produce 500,000 barrels of oil per day from the current 230,000 barrels per day. (bbn)

Just FYI, I'm reporting my problem and the solution I found here from a three-year old thread. I could not access my USB drive after using a Disk Wipe utility program to scrub it. I could not access the USB drive after that, no file system letter, just a "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" error.
There were many internet threads about how to reload USB drivers, but that was not my problem. Fortunately, I saw an old post here to look in DISK MANAGEMENT (search under Control Panel, or ... Computer Mgmt / Storage Mgmt / Disk Mgmt). The USB device was visible there, with no file system. I was able to create a new NTFS (on Windows 7) and it worked after that.
Um, OK.

I loved her collaborations with Danger Mouse on the Rome project last year, and I thought it was cool that they decided to do a full Norah album together.
It's an interesting choice for her; when she started out, she was kind of the torch-bearer for more traditional music when she debuted with Come Away With Me in 2002, covering standards and Hank Williams and Bob Dylan. Of course there was her Grammy winning collaboration with Ray Charles on his final album, and she's worked with Willie Nelson a number of times.
On the other hand, she's collaborated with younger artists including Ryan Adams, Q-Tip, the Foo Fighters and Talib Kweli.
Anyway, you look at the album cover and you realize that this isn't really the same Norah. Image-wise, musically and lyrically, its an evolution. To me, the standout track on the album is "Miriam." It's a deceptively gentle sounding song in which Norah sings to a woman who had a fling with her man. Check out the video.
Even if they play Norah's early songs in Pottery Barn... don't mess with her!
The first single, "Happy Pills," is funkier than most of what she'd done in the past. When I listen to this album, it sounds like (a) someone who has been hurt and is writing about the sad and painful experience and (b) someone who has gotten a bit tired of her image, and maybe the way she is perceived. I give Norah a lot of credit for this album, but more importantly, I think it's a really good album.
It's worth mentioning that she also did a great roots music album this year with The Little Willies, a band she is a member of. For The Good Times is great also, but Little Broken Hearts is what caught my attention this year.

Around the block
As the dinner meal settled, my wife and I walked around the block. We stopped to chat at one house, examined the lawn on another and admired the large, well manicured back yard as we strolled down a back alley.
This is all for the sake of fitness. Or maybe for the sake of relationship. Or maybe for the sake of walking with the one I love!
Take a stroll around your block. See what enjoyment you can have!

"The city of Sturgis is knowingly being fleeced and no city officials are doing anything about it" says Jack Hoel, son of Pappy Hoel, who is considered the founder of the Sturgis motorcycle rally. He told the Sturgis City Council and City Manager Daniel Ainslie Monday that it's a crime the city has to pay for the use of its own name.
"This is nothing but a gift to SMRi," Hoel said as the city finalized its contract renewal with Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, Inc., which owns the rights to the Sturgis name as it relates to the annual motorcycle rally. The contract last year cost the city nearly $50,000 — of that, nearly $27,000 went to SMRi for official sponsorships, and the remainder on city leases of land to official rally sponsors.
Under the new 5-year contract, the city will continue to pay 10 percent to SMRi for the use of the Sturgis trademarks which, in addition to the name Sturgis, also includes Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, Sturgis Bike Week, Take the Ride to Sturgis, Sturgis Rally & Races, and Black Hills as it relates to the Sturgis motorcycle rally. But, going forward, the city will not have to pay royalties on the lease agreements.
Ainslie said the city received a total of $269,440 from the 2012 rally as a result of the sponsorship license agreement. He says the revenue that is derived from the agreement is a vital item within the city's annual budget. Ainslie says the revenues generated the vast majority of the profit from the 2012 rally. "If the city does not enter into this agreement, the city will not legally be able to sell these sponsorships," he said. "This would be a significant impact on the city's budget."
When the city first entered into this agreement it was said the funds generated would help revitalize the city's Chamber of Commerce, but that relationship has somehow faded away and SMRi derives the brunt of the funds, Hoel said. "Paying this outside entity is wrong," Hoel said. "These people are holding up the city for using its own name."
Each year the city of Sturgis enters into agreements with businesses such as Jack Daniel's, Geico, Harley-Davidson, Coke, Budweiser and Dodge, to become "official" sponsors of the annual Sturgis motorcycle rally. The contract also gives the city additional rights to publish the official magazine of the Sturgis motorcycle rally and the official pocket guide to the Sturgis motorcycle rally. And, the city owns the official internet website for the Sturgis motorcycle rally and social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter. "The 10 percent royalty payment is identical to the previous agreement which was originally entered into between the city and the chamber," Ainslie said. "This agreement had been assigned from the Chamber to SMRi." Ainslie said the 10 percent royalty is already included within the 2013 city budget.
Also at Monday's meeting, the city authorized Ainslie to sign an agreement with Maverick Publishing of Spearfish to publish the official magazine and official pocket guide for the 2013 rally. In the past, the magazine and guide were published by the city through its sponsor agent. "Despite producing a high quality publication, the city sustained a net loss of approximately $15,000," Ainslie said. "Given the history of loss, the city sought a different arrangement where the city would not be directly responsible for the costs associated with the production of the publication."
The new arrangement will allow Maverick Publishing to label their magazines as the "Official Magazine of the Rally." In return, the city will receive 10 pages at no cost on which advertisements of sponsors and exhibits can advertise. The city also has the option of purchasing additional pages if needed. The magazine will continue to have a complete list of events that will occur during the rally. (Source. Deb Holland, Meade County Times-Tribune)

12 Ways to Protect and Build your Credit
If you are in need of credit assistance and guidance on how to build your credit, then look no further!
- Dispute errors. By law each year you are entitled to a free credit report thru Equifax , Experian and Transunion credit bureaus. Go to www.annualcreditreport.com and request this thru them directly and dispute anything that appears to be incorrect.
- Negotiate. If you do find that there are late payments reported or balances that are not paid as agreed reach out to the creditor in attempts to pay them off or atleast agree upon a balance to get the amount showing as finalized on your credit report so you can move forward and build better credit references. Leaving them unresolved will not help your score.
- Check your limits. If you are showing balances using over 40% of what is available you are lowering your credit score. Make sure you are not using to the max of what you can.
- Get a credit card. Most lenders like to see 3 good credit references. Make sure you handle the card correctly, pay on time and do not use max available and keep those in good standing to build your credit score.
- Obtain a secured card. If you have had bad credit card use in the past you can obtain a secured credit card where the bank will open a savings account allow you to deposit your own money to secure the line open. Normally they start out at $300-$500 which is ok as you are starting out new and proving yourself credit worthy again.
- Add yourself as a Secondary. If you cannot be approved as a card holder you can request being added at a secondary to an existing credit card which will report the history equally as yours if you are added to a account where the person is a responsible card holder.
- Raise your credit limit. If you are unable to pay off a large portion of a high balance credit card you can request to have the line increased so as to lower your usage percentage.
- Don't close any cards. You can simply keep the line open and paid off but either freeze the card in an ice cube to not use it or cut it up and not request one to keep in hand. That way you are showing the reference paid in full but not used.
- Pay your bills on time. Late payments account for most drops in credit score its going to be viewed as mishandled if not paid on time therefore causing other creditors to not want to approve you for credit.
- Mix it up. You can open a car loan if necessary and a store credit card as long as you are handling the payments on time and not abusing the credit line available.
- Stop spending money! If you can save that's the best thing to do. Do not fall for every gimmick or sale you see and purchase away. Control spending while repairing or building credit.
- Beware of scams. Do not give out your social security number, name or date of birth to anyone asking that you do not know. Very quickly you can have accounts opened in your name fraudulently and then repairing it will take a longer time than simply preventing the fraud from the start.
If you are in need of further credit repair assistance, please feel free to contact any of the highly qualified lenders on my site by clicking here for further assistance to get you on the path to home ownership!

I've been browsing through prints to potentially add to my bedroom gallery wall. Collections of botanicals, food and insects have been catching my eye. What I love about photographs is that they can be used in both traditional and modern decor, and often do not break the bank. Any one of the photographs below can morph into fitting in a hipster's or octogenarian's house! And should! Here are a few cost-conscious picks of mine.
This one from Sweet Eventide can be found on Domino for $94.99
This gorgeous Citrus print is by Emily Brincoe. Buy on her site here.
This one, too.
And this one! Actually, just go on her shop, she has a ton of good ones!
Casia Beck's Wings from her Etsy shop here, starting at $28!
Of course, once I find a photographer I like, I typically find more prints of theirs that speak to me. Just go check out her whole shop too, sheesh!


text: Prepare for the talent apocalypse While a third of companies struggle to fill positions, the unemployment rate remains high. Increasing vacancies should mean increasing opportunities for the unemployed, but unfortunately the gap between the skills and experience available and those in demand is not being bridged. The recent Manpower Talent Shortage Survey showed 35% of employers in Canada are struggling to find the right people and skills for vacancies, the highest result since the start of the recession more than five years ago. More than half (54%) said the shortage would have a medium or high impact on their ability to meet client needs. Demand is highest for skilled trades, engineering, executive management and sales, according to Manpower VP of operations Byrne Luft. Many people were resistant about entering the sales industry, and changing attitudes about work/life balance were limiting the number of people choosing to aim for executive positions. "There are more people today, especially from the younger generations, who are saying you've got to be crazy to have a job like that," Luft said. Many of the other shortage areas are related to a lack of skills and training, which needed to be addressed in the long term by companies, education institutions and the government. "There needs to be government incentives for the employer to want to train staff and I don't think the educational institutions are as aligned as they should be with the needs of employers today," Luft said. "Employers also need to do better working with underemployed. When we look at people with disabilities or the aging workforce, employers need to consider how they can modify the roles they have to accommodate the needs of those groups." For example, could the 44-hours a week role be completed by two part-time workers instead of one full time? It's also worth considering how many of the roles in your company could be done outside the office, such as a work from home or mobile worker arrangement. See page 2 for Luft's suggestions about how organizations, along with the government and educators, can reduce the skill shortage. read more > 1 2 Leave a comment SHARE

When my niece told me about the project which her class teacher asked her to submit the very next day.She said we have to draw a Zebra and decorate it with cereals,pulses or grains. I was quite tired with hectic work in office and felt like sleeping immediately. So Asked her '' why is your class teacher always gives homework to parents rather than you students?"
"Badima ,Its very simple you draw a Zebra and struck pulses on it.Thats all"She said it so easily. After listening to her,The very first thing struck in my mind is sesame seeds. So i called upon her classmate's mom to check whats in her mind? she told that she is using Urad dhal. then i discussed about my idea which she felt as better idea then her.
With a clear idea I sketched out the outline of the zebra and glued out Black & White til (Sesame seeds) on the picture. The picture turned out pretty good. So here is the project ready to be submitted.
|Zebra made out of Black & white Sesame

Cooking and Gardening two of my favorite things
Cooking and gardening just go together. I couldn't imagine doing one without the other. This year I am so excited I planted, just a few, heirloom tomatoes in my garden. I made a small kitchen garden close to my deck. I can easily pick tomatoes and herb right out of the garden to the kitchen. I love the design that I created. I placed a slate paver in the center of the garden and circled the paver with the tomato plants. Then I added a circle of basil plants. Around the edge of the garden I intermingled more herbs. For the focal point of the garden I planted a large strawberry jar planter with annuals and herbs placing the planter in the garden on the slate paver. More planted seasonal annuals add a cascade of beautiful colors to complete my kitchen garden combining function and beauty.
I can't wait to harvest my delicious heirloom tomatoes. Last year I purchased these tasty beauties making the thoughts of picking my own home grown tomatoes so wonderful. Heirloom tomatoes are visually beautiful with a deep flavorful taste. So tasty are these tomatoes that I just slice, arrange on a plate and drizzle balsamic vinegar and serve. Simple, delicious, just perfect for a light summer meal. Serve with a main dish or as a side dish at a casual party.

James Lipton Wants You to Cast the Big 'Actors Studio' 250th Episode!
The Inside the Actors Studio host is celebrating the milestone by putting it in the hands of fans.
James Lipton has been the one calling the shots while on stage with pretty much every A-list actor in the business over the past 18 years of Inside the Actors Studio. And because his milestone 250th episode is quickly approaching, James wants to shuffle the deck a little bit and allow his fans to be the ones running the show and determining the direction of the episode.
In his blog, James writes: "When my Bravo colleagues and I gathered around a table to ask ourselves, 'How do we celebrate the 250th?' we realized the answer was staring us in the face: 'Let's let those good people who have shared this amazing journey with us take over and pick the best moments, episodes, and guests of the past eighteen years, and we'll reprise them on the 250th, with full on-air credit to the viewer whose proposal we've selected.' ... And the social networks of cyberspace, another idea whose time has come since we began the series, enable us to reach out to. . .you out there, wherever you are and whatever you think. So we invite you to share your all-time favorite moment, guest or episode, and the reason for your choice, by commenting here at Bravotv.com, on Bravo's Facebook page, or on Twitter using the hashtag #IAS250. If we choose your response, it will be read on the show, as the introduction of the moment, guest or episode you've proposed, signed and certified by you."
So, there you have it: YOU can cast the 250th episode of Inside the Actors Studio, or submit your favorite moments, quotes -- anything. Just leave your choices and repsonses in the comment section below, and we'll make sure James sees them all. What are you waiting for ... comment!

Matt Capps Replaces Joe Nathan as Twins Closer
Apr 17, 2011
After a rough road trip to Tampa Bay Joe Nathan is out as closer and Matt Capps is in. Nathan blew two consecutive saves and saw his ERA jump from 2.25 to 8.44 over the process. Unfortunately Capps has been equally ineffective, blowing one save and allowing the Rays to cut a 3-1 deficit in half. Capps' ERA jumped from 1.35 to 4.50. Obviously you should grab Capps if he is available in your league, though I anticipate Nathan reclaiming his job at some point.

If your child's school is not represented in this week's column or if you are unsure of the details, now is the time to contact the office. The first day of school is Aug. 30, and I wish everyone a great year.
Here is some information from a few of our cluster schools. I rely on individuals at each site to provide this information, and if your school is not listed below, let your PTA president know to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will be happy to include your events.

"Resident Evil" (1996)
1998. It's been several weeks since human remains began to be discovered near Marble River in the Cider District of Raccoon City. S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team was dispatched to search the Arklay Mountains, but contact was lost, so now the S.T.A.R.S Alpha Team will investigate.
Chris Redfield, a rugged ex-pilot. Jill Valentine, an attractive explosives experts. Barry Burton, a brawny weapons expert. Joseph Frost, a small-fry in a bandana. Brad Vickers, a cocky chopper pilot. And Captain Albert Wesker, the enigmatic leader of Alpha Team with slicked back hair and dark shades.
Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine were playable characters. The developers, Capcom, must have assumed that gamers would select Chris Redfield, but Jill Valentine was far more popular, likely because she could store more weapons in her inventory. Chris Redfield was featured on the cover art of the director's cut, narrated the prologue, and even if you played the Jill Valentine scenario, he was scuffed up far worse in the final cut scene. A miscalculation on the part of the developers.
Frost gets killed by wild dogs in the opening cut scene and Vickers abandons his team in a cowardly fashion. The survivors seek haven at Spencer Mansion. If you play the Jill Valentine scenario, she and Barry search for Chris, who has gone missing. Wesker also disappears, but not until after the first zombie was encountered. Because of the pack of ravenous dogs, fleeing this mansion is impossible. Jill and Barry split up and search the mansion for their missing comrades. Barry vanishes first in the Chris Redfield scenario.
A cinematic game with a creepy score and an eerie environment. An atmosphere which was worthy of any classic horror movie. I saw George Romero, the father of modern zombies, at New York Comic Con 2013 and even he credited the "Resident Evil" video game franchise and its many imitators as the reason for the resurgence in the popularity of zombies since the 1990s.
There were a few out of place Indiana Jones style booby-traps throughout the mansion and the secret underground facility. And some of the cut scene dialogue is pretty hokey, especially Barry's. Besides the regular zombies, you encounters zombie crows, a zombie shark, a giant snake, and a giant spider. That seemed to be overkill. I think normal sized snakes and spiders would have been sufficiently scary for the gamers. Imagine being engulfed by zombie spiders? Terrifying. I also thought that it was odd to open up secret compartments by playing the piano.
You discover that the Umbrella Corporation had used this mansion as a front for illegal experimentations. Umbrella's Research and Development Department had successfully maturated the T-Virus, a mutagenic biological agent. The sole purpose of this agent was to engineer an undead super-soldier with the codename "Tyrant" to be auctioned to one of Umbrella's wealthy defense contracts. Or at least, that is my assumption. Umbrella's insidious plots become a little convoluted as time goes on. A T-Virus outbreak occurred in the mansion. All personnel, animal test subjects, and guard dogs were infected.
In the Chris Redfield scenario, you are introduced to Rebecca Chambers, a young field medic of Bravo Team. In both scenarios, it gets revealed that Wesker is the traitor. An "insurance policy" of sorts for the Umbrella Corporation. I'd gone trick-or-treating that year as Wesker with a friend who was guised as Barry. We had yet to beat the game and were unaware of Wesker's treachery. Wesker was supposedly killed by the game's final boss, the aforementioned Tyrant. A rocket launcher is required to vanquish the hulking creature. Vickers finally has the balls to return and evacuate the survivors.
Chris and Jill are shown in the back of the chopper no matter what. In the Jill scenario, Barry is with them. In the Chris scenario, it is Rebecca. Chris Redfield's sister, Claire, was the protagonist in "Resident Evil 2." Jill Valentine returned for "Resident Evil 3: Nemesis." Both Chris and Claire Redfield appeared in "Resident Evil: Code Veronica," which was developed for the Sega Dreamcast and not the Sony PlayStation. Rebecca Chambers was a protagonist in the prequel, "Resident Evil: Zero," which was developed for the Nintendo GameCube. The original game also was remade for the GameCube in 2002. A new character, Lisa Trevor, was added to the canon.
A live action "Resident Evil" movie was released in 2002, starring Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. I was disappointed with the film. A laser beam killed more people than the zombies. No characters from the games were featured sans for a little girl hologram which was the equivalent to Lisa Trevor. In the increasingly worse live action sequels, characters from the games did start to appear in supporting roles.
*Resident Evil aficionado and gamer Jonathan Parente consulted on this article written by Dominick Cappello, author of this blog. A "Resident Evil 2" article will likely soon follow, but some time will probably pass before more sequels are chronicled.
