A war on Saturn's return?
Sunday, November 20, 2011
About two weeks ago, my girlfriend was playing with a Saturn return calculator and contemplating the impact of celestial bodies, specifically Saturn, on her life. A Saturnian year takes roughly 30 Earth years. In astrology, the Saturn return is an alleged phenomenon that influences a person's life development at around 29-year intervals.
A magic realism tangent
Because of my current state of mind, the idea of Saturn's return makes me think about the (unrelated) war on Saturn that takes places in the amazing, surreal The People of Paper by Salvador Plascencia, which I am currently reading. People hide under the lead shells of mechanical tortoises to evade Saturn's voyeuristic gaze!
For more fantastic works of magic realism, see the likes of Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel García Márquez, Haruki Murakami and Aimee Bender (specifically the books above). I had the privilege of meeting Aimee Bender on November 11 (yes, on 11/11/11) on the Oregon State University campus as part of the 2011-12 OSU Visiting Writers Series. She read a chapter from her new book The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake (which I love) and a fantastic short story about prosopagnosia (i.e., face illiteracy or face blindness) called Faces. Magic realism is currently my favorite genre of fiction. Note to self: remember to read more absurdity from Richard Brautigan.
Back to Saturn's return
The Saturn return calculator revealed that my girlfriend's Saturn return started on Halloween 2011 and it doesn't end until July 2012. She deemed this a disturbingly long duration and shook her fist at Saturn for cursing her to suffer its trajectory-altering, life-changing transformations for longer than most. I've since learned that Saturn returns usually last about a month.
Being curious, I entered my birthday into the calculator and found that my first Saturn return was of normal length (one month), during which I bought my house and took a two-week trip to Hawai'i. Both of these events had great significance to me. Intrigued, I looked at other notable positions of Saturn throughout my life and immediately noticed a clear theme emerging: transformational travel.
Below is my Saturn return chart, which I've self-indulgently annotated.
|Start Return
|Finish Return
|Age 6/7
|1/4 Saturn cycle, Waxing Square
|November 1986
|November 1986
|I'm not sure what important events might have happened to me as a second-grader. I do remember that I was given my first video game system, an Atari 2600, for Christmas 1986, but that is neither here nor there.
|Age 13/14
|1/2 Saturn cycle, Opposition
|May 1994
|February 1995
|At the beginning of June 1994, my dad and sister and I went on a 20-day cross-country trek that involved driving almost 8,000 miles through 20 states and countless national parks. The first leg of the trip was from Pennsylvania to Seattle, then we flew to Alaska for a week. Once back in Seattle, we drove down the coast to San Francisco and then back across the country to Pennsylvania. This experience is probably my favorite childhood memory. In August, I started my first year of high school (also kind of a big deal at the time). The ups and downs of 10th grade complete the remainder of this time span.
|Age 20/21
|3/4 Saturn cycle, Waning Square
|July 2001
|April 2002
|I graduated from college in May 2001 and made preparations for my Great Cross-Country Trip of 2001, which began on June 15. I traveled back and forth across the United States until September, occasionally doing freelance web/graphic design via dial-up in cheap motel rooms. My return travel to the East Coast was delayed by the 9/11 attacks. After visiting the East Coast again that autumn, I decided to move to Oregon in November 2001. In December and January, I spent time in California for the holidays. Then, after a few months off from traveling, I began the Great Cross-Country Trip of 2002 on March 30. This trip was focused on the southern Midwest, the South and the southern East Coast. The journey was designed to enable me to see every state in the continental U.S. that I had not previously visited. By the end, the only state missing was Hawai'i. I was back in Oregon on April 30.
|Age 28/29
|First Saturn Return
|August 2008
|September 2008
|During this short but highly significant time period, at 29 years of age, I bought a house in August and then vacationed in Hawai'i for two weeks (thus completing my goal of visiting every state in the union). I closed on the house after returning to Oregon at the end of September. This began the current stage of my life.
|Around 35
|1 1/4 Saturn cycle, Waxing Square
|December 2015
|September 2016
|I obviously cannot comment on my future experiences, but I am curious what each of the time frames below might mean for my life, should I survive to experience them.
|Around 42
|1 1/2 Saturn cycle, Opposition
|March 2024
|March 2024
|Around 50
|1 3/4 Saturn cycle, Waning Square
|May 2031
|May 2031
|Around 59
|Second Saturn Return
|September 2037
|June 2038
|Around 66
|2 1/4 Saturn cycle, Waxing Square
|February 2045
|November 2045
|Around 73
|2 1/2 Saturn cycle, Opposition
|April 2053
|January 2054
|Around 80
|2 3/4 Saturn cycle, Waning Square
|June 2060
|March 2061
|Around 89
|Third Saturn Return
|November 2066
|August 2067
So, was the schedule of all these transformational travel experiences coincidental, or were they somehow written in the stars (or dictated by a certain ringed planet)? I have no idea. I do find it fascinating that the three most significant eras of my life (so far) were captured by a random astrological calculator on the Internet.
Stop watching me, Saturn!

Bismuth is one of the easiest and prettiest metal crystals that you can grow yourself. The crystals have an interesting geometric hopper form and are rainbow-colored from the oxide layer that quickly forms on them. Try these step-by-step instructions for growing bismuth crystals.
You have a few different options for obtaining bismuth. You can use non-lead fishing sinkers (for example, Eagle Claw makes non-lead sinkers using bismuth), you can use non-lead ammunition (the shot will say it is made from bismuth on the label), or you can buy bismuth metal. The quality of crystals you obtain depends in part on the purity of the metal, so make sure you are using bismuth and not an alloy. One way to be certain of the purity is to remelt a crystal of bismuth. It can be used over and over again.
Bismuth has a low melting point (271°C or 520°F), so it is easy to melt over high cooking heating. You are going to grow the crystals by melting the bismuth in a metal 'dish' (which will have a higher melting point than the bismuth), separate the pure bismuth from its impurities, allow the bismuth to crystallize, and pour away the remaining liquid bismuth from the crystals before it freezes around the crystals. None of this is difficult, but it takes some practice to get the cooling time just right. Don't worry — if your bismuth freezes you can remelt it and try again. Here are the steps in detail:

First, a memory from my spotted past:
It's 1961 and my wife and I and our two-year-old first
child are still in our first year in Lincoln. We think it's an
idyllic place. We're sitting out on our front porch watching nice
people walking and driving and bicycling by.
And that's when I hear a commotion coming through the
screen door two houses down the street from us. A woman is yelling
something. She sounds like she's in some distress. I'm not all that
long out of Boy Scouts, so I go to the house to see if I can help.
I ring the doorbell and a middle-aged woman comes to the
door, red-faced and sweating. "Yeah?" she says.
I heard you crying out in great distress," I say. "Is
there anything I can do to help?"
"Yeah," she says just before the slams the door shut.
"Mind your own damned business."
"Oh," I say, and I go back home.
"What was that all about?" my wife asks.
"I don't know," I say. "It was none of my damned business."
"Oh," she says. "I wondered if it might not be."
I thought of that little misadventure earlier this month
when I read an Associated Press story datelined "Baghdad, Iraq" and
quoting Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki saying that Iraqi forces
are quite capable of taking care of his country and that U.S. troops
can leave Iraq "any time they want
.We say in full confidence that
we are able, God willing, to take responsibility completely in
running the security
if the international forces withdraw at any
time they want."
Then an A.P. story by Ben Feller last Wednesday began with
this ominous lead: "President Bush, trying to justify the Iraq war,
cited intelligence reports Tuesday he said showed a link between al-
Qaeda's operation in Iraq and the terrorist group that attacked the
United States on Sept. 11, 2001."
Here's what Feller reported the president said: "The
merger between al-Qaeda and its Iraqi affiliate is an alliance of
killers, and that is why the finest military in the world is on their
On the surface, the president's implied rationale for our
war in Iraqthat it's the home base of those SOBs that killed
several thousand Americans in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagonmakes sense. On the surface.
But his argument confuses cause and effect.
To imply that our war in Iraq is simply a counter-attack
on the 9/11 villains ignores some important facts. Here are two:
The director and sponsor of the 9/11 attacks was Osama
bin Laden. He is not an Iraqi. He and the late Iraqi dictator,
Saddam Hussein, couldn't stand each other. Given the opportunity,
either one of them would have gladly arranged the death of the other.
Bin Laden is still at large, but not in Iraq. Our
president doesn't seem much interested in tracking him down.
And, according to Feller's A.P. story, "Al-Qaeda had no
active cells in Iraq when the U.S. invaded in March, 2003, and its
operation there is much larger now than before the war, U.S.
intelligence officers say. The war itself has turned into a valuable
recruiting tool for al-Qaeda, senior intelligence officials concede."
So one might justifiably decide that al-Qaeda's presence
in Iraq is the effect of our invasion, not the cause. We're not in
Iraq because al-Qaeda's there. Al-Qaeda's in Iraq because we're
there. We came before they did.
That makes more sense than the Bush argument that we're
still in Iraq because of 9/11which had nothing to do with Iraq.
The kindest thing we can say about that argument is that
the president is badly confused. A less kindly interpretation comes
from Sen. John Kerryyes, he's the Democrat who lost the 2004
election to President Bush. He says that the president "is trying to
scare the American people into believing that al-Qaeda is the
rationale for continuing the war in Iraq
.The president is picking
the wrong rationale for this war. Al-Qaeda is not the principle
killer of American forces in Iraq."
One of Prime Minister al-Maliki's aides, Hassan al-Suneid,
was quoted as saying that the U.S. was treating Iraq "as if it is an
experiment in an American laboratory judging whether we succeed or
fail," and that the U.S. military was "committing human rights
That from one of our allies in Iraq.
Makes me wonder what the Prime Minister meant when he said
that U.S. troops can leave Iraq "any time they want." Makes me
wonder if he was telling us that it's time for the Bush
Administration to understand that, despite its oil, Iraq is none of
our damned business.

from his confusion. His column appears on alternate Mondays. His e-mail

We connect writers with the tools and resources they need to help reach the destination of their writing journey.
Sometimes, this feeling may be enough to prevent you from following your dreams. This is what we call fear and it isn't NECESSARILY a bad thing. This just means that you have a dream that means a lot to you.
When you set a plan to something, you'd be amazed how much actually gets done and how good you feel afterward. This is true to everything: errands, homework, cleaning, and even finances. So, why can't that be true to your writing too?
We know what it is like to write a novel and just be completely lost. We both have complete manuscripts that took us years to complete. Rachael wrote a Sci-Fi Fantasy novel and Jenna wrote a Young Adult Thriller novel. Both of us encountered many roadblocks along the way where we just had to figure it out on our own. We had so many questions and days where we just wanted to give up, but we didn't.
In this lesson, we will go over resources that will help you ignite your spark by finding a topic to write about, digging deep through personal experiences, and writing about what is true to your heart.
In this lesson, we will uncover the myth that life is too busy for writing. We will teach you how to find those blocks of time in your schedule and how to discipline yourself as a writer.
In this lesson, we will go over what really makes a character, how to help your readers connect to your characters, and how to interweave relationships between characters.
In this final lesson, you will learn how to create a world your readers can get lost in. We will talk about emotions, deeper meanings, and the right descriptors to use.
Each day for the next four days you will receive an email in your inbox describing the day's lesson with an accessible link to the lesson video.
Each of these lessons will provide text, video, and downloadable worksheets for you to use at your disposal. Since this course is sent via email you will be able to use this course whenever you like for however long you like. It will never expire!

Is it true that you look at a woman's Sun and Mars sign to find out what they look for in a Man?
Does this also mean they look for those particular men with those signs or simply those traits? Also, does it go the same for men to look for a man's venus and moon sign to find what kind of woman they look for...

A friend was in town this week helping her daughter after the birth of her third child. We don't have the chance to visit often, and I haven't seen her in months. Although I hoped we'd find a time when we could catch up, I know how exhausting that first week with a newborn can be, so my expectation wasn't too high.
When she told me she'd promised to take her granddaughter to the Museum of Natural Curiosity, I quickly called Shalae to see if Phoebe would like to go on a date with me. If we both took our granddaughters, they could play together while we visited. Genius!
We met for a healthy lunch at Fraiche and then enjoyed a few hours at the museum, watching the girls play and explore while we visited about everything under the sun! It was a cold overcast day, but it was the perfect way to spend an afternoon with Phoebe and a dear friend and her granddaughter.

A Politically Committed Kind of Silence. Ireland in Samuel Beckett's Catastrophe
Samuel Beckett's Catastrophe (1982), which is dedicated to Václav Havel, exemplifies in a direct way the idea of non-violent resistance. It is a short work in which an actor, who is going to appear before an audience under the instruction of a tyrannical director, performs an act of defiance with one simple gesture. The present article aims to explore the play's effectiveness by setting it in the context of Beckett's complex relation with Irish history. Catastrophe, hence, will be read from an Irish perspective, and the nature of Ireland's presence in Beckett's work will be analysed together with the subtle ways in which the author seeks to accommodate his own refusal to engage personally in a factious vision of Irish politics with a need to understand and interpret his country's contemporary history.

babies and computers
Should not be mixed! I left my blog up on the computer earlier today and had to do something across the room and Gemma started clicking away at the mouse. I was busy with Oona and half-heartedly told her to stop. It was kind of cute how she was trying to be like her Mama. Then I went and looked at my blog and all the links and everything were in a different language - Arabic or Persian or Hindi or something, I don't even know. I was NOT happy and I couldn't figure out how to change it back to English. Every time I looked it up on the help menu, I got the answer back in the language I could not read. Not helpful. I finally found something on the help forums but couldn't figure it out because it involved changing something that I couldn't read to know where it was. It is finally fixed! After hair pulling, cursing, yelling etc., Eric is on Blogger so we compared his to mine and figured out which button I needed to push and my blog is in English again and all is well with the world. At least with the blog world. I will never be so nonchalant, though, about babies clicking away with the mouse or typing on the keyboard! Lesson learned... times two hundred.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but, didn't Willie Wonka sport a fine walking stick? I'm pretty sure he did!
LIFE IS JUST SO FULL OF COOL STUFF! As a Christian I try to value and enjoy every day! I run and write about my Etsy shops; Leaning on the Promises, Hand Painted Canes and Measure Me Charts. I also write about my life on my farm, my love of nature and anything else that strikes my fancy!
I'm sure he did and yes, yours would be just perfect - maybe you should paint one with a liquorice allsort pattern!
Lovely walking stick, Judy. I am sure old Willie would be jealous.
Yes he did - he first came out of the factory using one, then he threw it away and started doing somersaults or something! I bet he wouldn't have thrown aside one of yours though Judy!
So intricate and cheerful-looking! It's lovely!
Cute segway to your Etsy shop.
I do love the cane with the celtic knots.
This is a gorgeous design Judy! I'm sure Mr Wonka would be proud to have a cane like this!
Kat X
I think a Candy Cane is a brilliant idea!
YES he did! love the clever take on this.

Throughout the competition, Nissan will reach hundreds of the next generation of leaders in marketing, business and engineering. The second year business and engineering students have been asked to come up with a strategy to promote the enV200, specifically focusing on the case for small to medium sized businesses (SMEs).
The teams have presented their plan to an experienced panel of Nissan executives, Aston professors, and other high profile partnership organisations at a conference organised by Nissan, the UK's largest automotive manufacturer, this week (18 th February).
Within those teams the most promising students will be offered the chance to take part in the assessment centre for a placement at Nissan. As part of the placements, the winning students will work alongside the Nissan electric vehicle product team to develop their ideas whilst gaining priceless knowledge and experience of the inner workings at Nissan.
Jean-Pierre Diernaz, Director of Electric Vehicles, Nissan Europe said: "Electric vehicle technology is the future; there is no doubt about that.
"In the UK specifically, the electric vehicle market is growing at a phenomenal rate and it's a truly exciting time for all of those at the forefront of it all.
"Having young talent joining the conversation and playing a role in the shift to zero emission mobility is something I really encourage and I look forward to exploring some of the ideas that Aston's students have come up with and helping them to develop these further."
Professor Bjorn Birgisson, Executive Dean of Aston's School of Engineering and Applied Science, said: "Engineering and applied sciences are very much at the forefront of developing low carbon technologies and solutions for the future.
"This collaboration with Nissan is a fantastic opportunity for our students to present their engineering ideas and strategies to a leading automotive manufacturer while gaining valuable experience of electric vehicle production in the process."
During the competition, students that entered were given a behind-the-scenes look inside Nissan's Technical Facility in Cranfield, Bedfordshire to aid the development of their submissions. Students were provided with presentations that gave background information about Nissan's presence in the UK as well as the development of e-NV200, and were given a tour of the facility.
In 2014, Nissan launched its second electric vehicle to the UK market, the 100% electric e-NV200, bolstering its leadership in zero emission mobility. The Nissan LEAF was launched in 2010 and has been the best-selling electric car for four years in a row.

No fiction is 100 per cent imagination. Somewhere in its bottom lies a pinch of truth. And if blended with history with the carefulness of a master chef, it could result in a delightful dish, sorry, entertainer. Precisely that is the case of '7aum Arivu', A R Murugadoss' magnum opus starring Suriya, produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin.

Although it was once thought to be the result of overwork or poor writing technique, modern research indicates that this severe contraction of the muscles of the hand and fingers has a neurological explanation.
Earlier studies had shown abnormalities in the gray matter of people with writer's cramp, according to Stéphane Lehéricy, M.D., Ph.D., of Groupe Hospitalier Pitié Salpêtrière in Paris, and colleagues.
Action Points
- Explain to interested patients that writer's cramp is a task-specific form of primary dystonia, a neurological movement disorder in which sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures.
- Note that this study connected the disorder to abnormalities in the organization of nerve connections between the primary sensorimotor complex and the brainstem.
Using diffusion-tensor magnetic resonance imaging -- or DTI - Dr. Lehéricy's group also found abnormalities in the white matter of nerve pathways. They reported their findings in the April issue of Archives of Neurology.
Determining exactly what effect these abnormalities have on the pathophysiology of writer's cramp will require further investigation, the researchers said.
Dr. Lehéricy and his colleagues studied 52 right-handed people, half of whom had disabling writer's cramp. The others were healthy, age-matched controls.
They were examined by a movement disorders specialist and underwent DTI to study fractional anisotropy in most of the brain (excluding the lower two-thirds of the cerebellum).
Fractional anisotropy, derived from DTI determination of the diffusion of water along axons, is a measurement of connectivity in the brain.
In the current study, the researchers found that fractional anisotropy was significantly increased in several areas in the patients with writer's cramp, compared with the controls.
Specifically, the increases were in the white matter of the posterior limb of the internal capsule, in the adjacent thalamus (in the ventroposterolateral nuclei), and in the left posterior centrum semiovale.
A technique called fiber tracking showed that the nerve tracts passing through abnormal areas of fractional anisotropy connected the primary motor or sensory areas with the brainstem, the researchers said.
The nerve tract connections between the brainstem and the sensorimotor areas were consistently seen in both hemispheres in all but one of the volunteers, the researchers said. (In one of the controls, data in one hemisphere was incomplete.)
Previous research has shown that writer's cramp is associated with changes in gray matter density in the basal ganglia, sensorimotor cortex, thalamus, and cerebellum.
The current findings suggest that "writer's cramp is associated with abnormal anatomical connectivity of the corticosubcortical sensorimotor structures," the researchers concluded.
The results "strengthen findings of the role played by sensorimotor structures and their connections in the pathophysiologic mechanisms of the disease," they added.
|The study was supported by the Salpêtrière Hospital, the Action Concertée Incitative 2001, the IFR49, the INSERM French Dystonia Network 19 and GIS maladies rares, and the Action de Recherche Cooperative DMRI 2007. The researchers reported no conflicts.

SAN BRUNO, Calif. (CBS.MW) -- The greatest threat to the financial security of middle- income Americans is the cost of long-term care.
A woman who reaches age 50 today without serious health problems statistically may live to age 92.
There is often confusion about the difference between Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare is basically a health-insurance program for everybody. You pay for it with a payroll deduction, like Social Security, and you're eligible for benefits when you turn 65. There are no income or asset limitations to qualify -- Oprah Winfrey may use Medicare benefits when she comes of age.
However, Medicare only covers temporary skilled nursing care, designed to cover expenses associated with recovery for a short-term condition. According to Kevin Outterson, a healthcare attorney with Baker Donelson Bearman & Caldwell in Nashville, Tenn., Medicare covers:
All skilled-care expenses for the first 20 days of recovery
A $97 daily co-pay for the next 21 to 100 days
No benefits after 100 days
Obviously, if you have to spend five years or more in a nursing home -- which 21 percent of people who enter them do -- Medicare is not the answer.
Medicaid, on the other hand, does pay benefits for long-term care. Medicaid is a joint federal/state program that helps pay for healthcare for people who can't afford either the care or private long-term care insurance. The healthcare safety net for the poor is the largest insurer of long-term care for all Americans -- including the middle class -- covering 68 percent of nursing-home residents.
It has one small caveat: You must be essentially destitute to qualify for benefits. The simple explanation for this is that Medicaid was never intended to be the nation's long-term healthcare program.
How destitute?
There's an entire industry of estate planners and attorneys that focus their practice around "spend down" strategies to help middle-income Americans qualify for Medicaid benefits. To do so, recipients must meet the following criteria:
A single recipient may maintain a maximum of $3,600 in liquid assets (amounts vary by state).
A married couple may only maintain about $80,000 in assets, as well as a home of any value and a car for use by the spouse that doesn't require outside care.
The recipient and spouse may also prepay their funeral expenses, which is a nice touch.
That's it. All assets in checking and savings accounts, CDs, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, annuities, IRAs, employer-sponsored retirement plans, etc., must be depleted to these amounts before a Medicaid applicant qualifies for benefits.
Some estate planners encourage people to organize their estates for the specific intent of qualifying for benefits. However, says Outterson, "this is kind of a murky area. The ethical implications are a bit unsettling, since some people are unscrupulous about how they distribute their assets."
Outterson observes that many middle-class elderly will gift their assets to their children to qualify for Medicaid, but with an agreement in place that the money is still available to them for whatever their needs or desires. As Outterson explains, "This is an abuse of the program, which was designed for the poor -- not the poor who have children with over a million in assets that Mom just gave them last week."
Double-edged sword for women
Let's say you and your husband scrimp and save and invest wisely for a relatively modest retirement income, only to find that he must enter a nursing home for round-the-clock skilled care. Now your nest egg has to pay double duty expenses for your home and lifestyle as well as nursing home care for your husband -- that can run upwards of $30,000 to $80,000 a year. In light of these unexpected expenses, your only option is to spend down your income.
Seven out of 10 couples now 65 or older can expect at least one spouse to enter a nursing home.
Now, instead of living out your golden years traveling or whatever you'd planned, you must live on a relatively meager income so your husband may qualify for Medicaid. Worse yet, you must give up nearly all that you own when it's your time to enter a nursing home.
Seven out of 10 couples now 65 or older can expect at least one spouse to enter a nursing home -- and it's generally the wife who ends up living out her life in an assisted-care facility. How you will fare in today's current system depends largely on your net worth. If you have a million or more dollars, you can probably afford to pay for private long-term care. If you're dirt poor, Medicaid will cover it for you.
But if you are middle income, long-term care expenses may wipe out everything you and your spouse have worked for throughout your lifetime.

Fashion Teardown: Hack the Tracking in Tommy Hilfiger's 'Tommy Jeans Xplore'
Fashion Teardown is a column within The Fashion Robot where we post a regular tear down of a single garment. This column is written in the spirit of engineering teardowns in which a gadget or software is taken apart and the components are analyzed.
Garment: Tommy Jeans Xplore
Last week, Tommy Hilfiger introduced a new line of smart garments in a collection called 'Tommy Jeans Xplore.' The collection is comprised of a range of womenswear and menswear from t-shirts to denim jackets that track when you're wearing one of the garments and where you are. In a Pokemon Go-like fashion, it encourages you to spend time at particular locations to get more points.
It was met with a cynical disapproval by publications like Tech Crunch [1] and Business Insider [2] who posed questions about the collection's purpose and the privacy issues around the data being collected, even calling it 'ridiculous.'
The components on this garment are where tech meets old school. The aesthetic of the collection is a 90s beach throwback with classic construction detailing; a contrast against the technology in its bluetooth enabled smart tags.
The smart tags were built by Awear [3]. To reveal the actual technology, we removed the jacquard label from the inside of the shirt and... voila the chip and battery were revealed.
Although the collection did receive criticism, there is a wave of thinking, particularly in communities like the blockchain community, which indicates a consumer desire to be rewarded for consuming or promoting brand advertisements. In this case, the rewards could be viewed as a win-win. Wearers are able to collect on wearing Tommy's logo as well as enjoy this cozy beefy cotton tee and Tommy is able to gain insights into the exposure their 'wearable billboards' have on the street.
While for many consumers this idea may be jarring, brands have been paying people to wear their garments on the street for years. In many ways, this effort reminds me of the Brave browser Basic Attention Token which raised $35 million in less than 30 seconds. The goal of that project was to reward users for consuming ads in their browser.
The Xplore collection does have a number of weaknesses. For one, I can remove the smart chip from the garment and wear it anywhere I want for as long as I want without advertising for Tommy at all. Secondly, I can spoof my phone's location and make Tommy believe that I went where they wanted me to go. Both of these weaknesses would result in me being able to collect rewards without executing on Tommy's desired behavior.
To the blockchain-enthusiasts out there, this is the perfect case study of how translating authenticity and security in the physical world has its challenges.
So... all in all, what do you think? Are you ready for some sweet Tommy rewards?

Transmission networks and risk of HIV infection in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa: a community-wide phylogenetic study
Published Date:Dec 01 2016

The incidence of HIV infection in young women in Africa is very high. We did a large-scale community-wide phylogenetic study to examine the underlying HIV transmission dynamics and the source and consequences of high rates of HIV infection in young women in South Africa.
We did a cross-sectional household survey of randomly selected individuals aged 15–49 years in two neighbouring subdistricts (one urban and one rural) with a high burden of HIV infection in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Participants completed structured questionnaires that captured general demographic, socioeconomic, psychosocial, and behavioural data. Peripheral blood samples were obtained for HIV antibody testing. Samples with HIV RNA viral load greater than 1000 copies per mL were selected for genotyping. We constructed a phylogenetic tree to identify clusters of linked infections (defined as two or more sequences with bootstrap or posterior support ≥90% and genetic distance ≤4.5%).
From June 11, 2014, to June 22, 2015, we enrolled 9812 participants, 3969 of whom tested HIV positive. HIV prevalence (weighted) was 59.8% in 2835 women aged 25–40 years, 40.3% in 1548 men aged 25–40 years, 22.3% in 2224 women younger than 25 years, and 7.6% in 1472 men younger than 25 years. HIV genotyping was done in 1589 individuals with a viral load of more than 1000 copies per mL. In 90 transmission clusters, 123 women were linked to 103 men. Of 60 possible phylogenetically linked pairings with the 43 women younger than 25 years, 18 (30.0%) probable male partners were younger than 25 years, 37 (61.7%) were aged 25–40 years, and five (8.3%) were aged 41–49 years: mean age difference 8.7 years (95% CI 6.8–10.6; p<0.0001). For the 92 possible phylogenetically linked pairings with the 56 women aged 25–40 years, the age difference dropped to 1.1 years (95% CI –0.6 to 2.8; p=0.111). 16 (39.0%) of 41 probable male partners linked to women younger than 25 years were also linked to women aged 25–40 years. Of 79 men (mean age 31.5 years) linked to women younger than 40 years, 62 (78.5%) were unaware of their HIV-positive status, 76 (96.2%) were not on antiretroviral therapy, and 29 (36.7%) had viral loads of more than 50 000 copies per mL.
Sexual partnering between young women and older men, who might have acquired HIV from women of similar age, is a key feature of the sexual networks driving transmission. Expansion of treatment and combination prevention strategies that include interventions to address age-disparate sexual partnering is crucial to reducing HIV incidence and enabling Africa to reach the goal of ending AIDS as a public health threat.

Louisville Art | Part One
Louisville's diverse and vibrant arts community incorporates active and lively theatrical actions supplied by the gifted campaign of Actors Theatre of Louisville, a Tony-Award-winning repertory theater placed in a 1837 bank building currently designated as a national historical landmark.and whose rock columned part is among the earliest buildings in Main Street and among the best examples of modest scale Greek revival structure in the U.S.
Since the centerpiece of the town's urban cultural heritage, Actors Theatre has generated considerable financial effect on a very important downtown lifestyle and won high acclaim for its aesthetic programming and business acumen in sponsoring the yearly Humana festival of plays that have gone to New York and London and other innovative stage productions.
Additionally, it presents roughly six billion performances of roughly twelve productions throughout its yearlong season, composed of a diverse collection of modern and classical cuisine bringing among the biggest per capita subscription crowds in the nation with an yearly attendance of over 200,000.
Shakespeare's plays are always being staged in the Central Park in South Fourth Street thus transforming Louisville to the Bardstown in summertime. But sadly we overlooked Shakespeare when we trouped down from our Kurtz Hall home just up the street one day and waited for the players.
Walden Theatre, the top theater conservatory for young men and women in the U.S, among the few yearly theater festivals celebrating William Shakespeare from the yearly Young American Shakespeare Festival, that are often presented in the Kentucky Center the 3 phases of that are constantly living with entertainment from Broadway into Bach and comprising bagpipes into bluegrass.
Five big arts teams delight the senses with dancing, music theater, play and much more while its mirrored outside representing the surrounding town. Founded in 1983 the centre has multiple performance places for its globally famous Louisville orchestra renowned for its records of modern works, the Louisville ballet and Kentucky Opera that's the funniest earliest opera at the U.S., the Broadway Series, Stage One, The Louisville Children's Theatre and outstanding local, national, and global talents.
Pictures Friedonas Gallery features Julius Friedman's posters in addition to works by several other nationwide and globally respected artists. This 10,000 square ft gallery at the Louisville Design Center, situated in the Caribbean resort and entertainment district, features many different concerts and plays.
The Louisville Palace, the official place to the Louisville Orchestra, is an elegant, intricate theater in downtown Louisville's so-called theater district. Along with orchestra performances, the theatre also includes a range of popular films, new and old, in addition to concerts by popular artists.
Situated nearby is the Kentucky Theater, which was constructed in 1921 and worked for 60 years since a film house, but has been shut and nearly demolished in 1986. Finally it was rescued by local arts assistants, and the recently renovated Kentucky Theater opened its doors in 2000 and is now a lively community arts centre and art movie house.
The Kentucky Art and Craft Foundation Gallery functions as a stunning retail outlet to get a number of Kentucky's best craftworks and patrons regular traveling displays and workshops.
The Fund for the Arts that the first and earliest at the U.S. has the bust of its creator former Mayor Charles Farmsley sitting as though still living before its headquarters.
Louisville is distinguished, like many American towns, using a large number of museums of art, sports and science in addition to monuments and historical websites and houses preserved for posterity among which will be The Speed Art Museum that I happened to have seen June 2006.
Though called the nation's first art museum holding groups spanning 6000 years together with works by Rembrandt, Picasso, Monet, Rubens and Moore, contemporary American, African, Native and ancient American artists being exhibited here our trip was concentrated on the highly diverse and post-modernist function of their African American alumni of University of Louisville, Sam Gilliam whose functions have traveled far and wide in America around the Corcoran Gallery.
His functions are a daring and experimental mixture of materials and techniques: pastiche, cloth-dyeing, candle function, wood, formica, mat-marking and pottery utilized to amazing effects particularly in his bold display and mix of colours and usage of distance along with the proposal of springs and ties dangling loose in the ceiling. An art learning centre, a café Bristol and a Museum Shop displaying and hawking artifacts, curios and gowns from throughout the world adds to Speed Arts Museum's compulsion.
In 1934, the museum obtained Its first significant contribution, a valuable group of North American Indian artifacts awarded by Dr. Frederick Weygold in 1934 has been followed in 1941 by, Dr. Preston Pope Satterwhite creating a substantial present - his set of 15th century and 16th century Italian and French Decorative Arts such as tapestries and furniture.and in 1944, he contributed the English renaissance space, which was transferred in its entirety in Devonshire, England requiring an improvement of this museum. The addition bearing his title was finished in 1954, as the very first of three enhancements to the original construction.
African American and Native American functions are an increasing section of the museum's collection. On its upper level, little cupboard galleries give an intimate setting to the museum's collection of Western paintings and sculpture.
Throughout the tenure of Paul S. Harris the first professional manager from 1946, acquisitions into the collection have been created largely in the regions of decorative arts and furniture. Who further improved and enlarged the memorial collection. After another significant addition to the construction in 1973, the Speed celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1977 together with the purchase of Rembrandt's magnificent Portrait of a Woman. Mr. Page and also the Board of Governors directed the effort to raise the $1.5 million required to buy the work, among the museum's most important acquisitions.
Mr. Page hailed as Director in 1984 and has been followed in 1986 by Peter Morrin, that had been previously curator of 20th century art at the High Museum in Atlanta who in continued the enrichment of this group, initiated an outreach program to involve the communities that the memorial functions. While the museum has been closed for a stunning renovation job in 1996, the museum acquired a life-changing present, a bequest of over $50 million in Alice Speed Stoll, granddaughter of James Breckinridge Speed.
The bequest among the largest awarded to any art museum considerably improved the Speed's endowment, rank it one of the top 25 from the USA. Mrs. Stoll's bequest procured the museum's future, and it has allowed for many critical acquisitions such as Jacob van Ruisdael'si, (1653), and Paul Cezanne's Post-Impressionist masterpiece, 2 Apples on a Table (roughly 1895-1900).
The memorial supported entirely by contributions, endowments, grants, ticket sales, and memberships concentrates its set Western art, from antiquity to the present moment. Holdings of paintings in the Netherlands, French and Italian works, and modern art are especially powerful, with Sculpture notable throughout.

Jennifer Korsen is a Los Angeles based artist that works in many mediums. A third generation Angeleno. She is the Great Niece of LA Times illustrator Raymond Serata and she shares his creative drive. Korsen draws her inspirations from the pulse of the city, and all the endless possibilities that exist in a place like LA. She also has a deep fascination with anatomical imagery that stems from watching her mother battle cancer when she was very young. Korsen is self taught and works mostly in acrylic, spray paint, wood, and cut paper, but enjoys experimenting and is constantly exploring new mediums. In 2011 she began the "Paper Hearts" series of mixed media shadowboxes that launched her career in the art world.
"The heart is the great equalizer that most people connect to but for very individual reasons. The full emotional spectrum-love, hate, vulnerability, strength, connection, life, death, pleasure, and pain-can all be recalled by looking at the heart."
This body of work gained instant attention and was collected extensively, leading to her first solo exhibition in 2013 at Coba Gallery, and a residency at the Hive Gallery in Downtown LA. Subsequent residencies include Imperial Art Studios and she was the recipient of the first ever Artist Residency at the Neutra Museum in Silver Lake.
Her signature series of abstracted anatomical hearts have been exhibited all over Los Angeles in galleries such as Copro Nason, Gabba Gallery, Lab Art, The Hive, La Luz de Jesus, Cactus and many others. Outside of Los Angeles, she has exhibited in New York, Las Vegas, Portland, Seattle, Miami and internationally in the United Kingdom, and Germany. Her work has sold at Julien's and Paddle 8 auctions and she has been featured in lectures at Christie's in Beverly Hills, and on Sotheby's street art tours. Her client work includes Red Bull, Whole Foods, Toms, Perrier, Etsy, and Brandable. She has been featured in several print and online publications both domestic and international.
Korsen's large scale heart murals and wooden installations in abandoned payphones have become a staple in the world of LA Street Art. Korsen currently lives and works in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles. For more information on Jennifer Korsen visit humansmakeart.com and follow on social media @humansmakeart.

MIAMI (CBSMiami/CNN) – Last year, four million tourists visited Cuba, setting a new tourism record for the island nation.
The government run Ministry of Tourism reports last year's numbers represent a 13% increase in tourism compared to 2015.
The 4 million mark was reached on December 30th. The US-Cuba warming of relations is partially responsible for the record.
The Ministry of Tourism says that Europe and North America were the two regions that most contributed to this result.
Some experts predict demand for travel to Cuba may level off in 2017. They point to rapidly increasing hotel prices on the island, American Airlines cutting some flights and uncertainty over whether President-elect Donald Trump will impose new travel restrictions when he takes office.

A dense and fudgey Paleo vegan brownie recipe that is nut free too! One taste, and you will be whisked off to brownie heaven!
I learned a little something about my body during my 100% Paleo trial last summer: me and almond flour in massive quantities are not best friends.
While delicious, the super concentrated dose of nuts (about 90 almonds =1 cup almond flour) turned my digestion on its' head.
On top of that, my son's allergies meant anything I made for the rest of us would not work for him most of the time: nuts, seeds, and eggs are still out for him.
Egg-free Paleo baking is not normally a very easy task. Grain free flours of all shades need eggs to work…almost always.
But many people who try Paleo and other similar grain-free lifestyles are trying to heal their guts, and that means no eggs too for some!
Thank goodness for so many resources in the blogging world now…how did we ever live without it before?!
I discovered the original recipe for these brownies in Paleo Indulgences, a great cookbook I have enjoyed by Tammy Credicott. Her brownies contained both nuts and eggs, so I changed things up so everyone in our family could enjoy these morsels.
And enjoy them we did!
Dense and fudgey, and loaded with deep chocolate flavor, we all loved these!
Storing Tip:
I recommend that these be stored in the freezer or fridge for best texture. They get very moist at room temp and we have taken to enjoying them fresh from the oven or still frozen from the freezer!
Ingredient Tip:
Unsweetened chocolate does not normally have soy lecithin like most sweetened varieties. Unsweetened chocolate is a great option for those who don't do soy, and as an added bonus, you get to control the sweeteners too!
If you would like to look at some additional egg-free Paleo treats, check these out, and 85% of my Paleo recipe posts are egg free AND nut free, so check them out too!!

Paleo Egg Free Brownie Recipe:
Dense & Fudgey Chocolate Brownies - Paleo, Vegan & Nut Free!
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate or any chocolate of choice (regular chocolate will have sweetener)
- 1/4 cup coconut milk I used So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/2 cup maple syrup honey, coconut nectar, to taste (may add more to taste, I use stevia for additional sweetness)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, prepare an 8 x 8 square baking pan.
In a liquid measuring cup or double boiler, melt the unsweetened chocolate, coconut milk, and coconut oil over medium heat. Heat just enough to melt the chocolate, and remove the heat.
Mix in the honey, pumpkin, salt, and baking soda.
Mix in sifted cocoa powder,sifted coconut flour, and tapicoa flour.
Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes; when a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean, you know it is done!
Cool completely and cut!

We would like to shortly describe the situation with account openings for companies in currently most popular jurisdictions. As most probably you all are experienced in Latvia, Baltic States as well as in Cyprus it is challenging to open a bank account for typical offshore companies that do not require to prepare and file Financial Statements and limited partnerships. In Latvia we are currently working with Rietumu, LPB and Norvik banks that open accounts for clients having real trading activities of goods. Jurisdictions that can be used – Hong Kong, UK LTD, Cyprus, Singapore.
Regarding banks in Cyprus – the Central Bank of Cyprus' procedures with shell companies is stricter even no final directive has been issued. However, they may examine requests for account allocation for companies registered in a jurisdiction in which the issue of audited Financial Statements is not required, if the company comply with ALL the following:
1) has proven physical substance in the country where registered, 2) has fully proven and legal economic activity, 3) can prepare audited financial statements when requested, 4) has a tax identification number, 5) the company has not been closed by any other bank for the reason Shell, 6) essential KYC information about the beneficial owner will be provided, 7) economic reason why operations is conducted in another country and bank accounts is opened in Cyprus.

Frenemies? Why Dalai Lama wants India, China to work together
New Delhi, Nov 20: The neighbouring countries India and China have been at the loggerheads since ages. The tense relationship between the two countries saw an ugly turn of an event during the Doklam stand-off earlier this year.
The 'Cold War-like situation' between the two countries has put the entire Asian region under threat. In spite of all the differences, China and India continue to work together in various spheres, especially in the fields of business and culture.
However, on Sunday Dalai Lama insists that the two countries need to work together at a "practical level" as they have "great potential".
"I think, a great potential... India and China combined are doing more compassionate work... At a practical level also. Imagine two billion people working together," he told during an event at the national capital.
The 82-year-old Buddhist monk, who has lived in India in self-imposed exile since 1959, said neither country had the "ability to destroy the other". "Whether you like it or not, you have to live side by side," he said.
He said India and China share an ancient spiritual connection. The Tibetan spiritual leader added that Chinese Buddhist traveller Hsuan Tsang visited Nalanda (now in Bihar) and brought Nalanda Buddhist tradition to China.
"All thinkers of Nalanda are Indians. So, the Nalanda's tradition is India's tradition. The Nalanda tradition had turned Tibetans, who were warriors, into more compassionate, peaceful and non-violent people," he added.
"So sometimes in Delhi, teasing my Indian friend, (I say) if Tibet still remained in the previous way of life, like Mongols, Chinese invasion may not have taken place," the Dalai Lama laughed.
He said nobody in the world wanted violence but it was happening "because our minds are dominated by destructive emotions due to short-sightedness".
"Nobody wants problems. Yet, many problems are our own creation."
The Dalai Lama said the existing modern education was oriented to material values. India can take lead in improving the education system by combining modern education with ancient knowledge, he suggested.
Now, it needs to be seen if China and India would honour the Dalai Lama's suggestion and decide to work together in a more holistic manner forgetting all ills against each other.
It seems unlikely, as there is a lot of Chinese opposition to India giving shelter to the Dalai Lama.

Milton G. AllimadiJuly 06,2018
Gen. Museveni disembarks from $50 million Gulf Stream jet he bought with stolen foreign aid money. U.S. still sends $1 billion annually.
Taxation without representation sparked the American Revolution and threw out the British yoke of colonialism.
Those who impose taxes upon people who have no say in how government operates should beware. Especially when the regime doesn't represent the best interest of the people.
Ugandans need only ask themselves three critical interrelated questions.
Does government represent me?
Does this Parliament represent (or even care about) my interests?
Is Gen. Yoweri Museveni, the U.S.-backed dictator who gets over $1 billion per year in American taxpayers' money, the legitimate duly elected president of Uganda?
If the answers to these questions are no, then it means every Ugandan is obligated to do anything within his or her power to protect against harm --This includes the potential damages from Gen. Museveni's social media tax.
The majority in Parliament have already shown that they do not care about the interests of most Ugandans.
Ugandans last year polled 85%, overwhelmingly, in rejection of Life-Presidency. Yet, the dictator's puppet Parliament rejected the wishes of Ugandans and removed from the Constitution the only remaining guarantor against tyranny; the age-75 ceiling.
This was done for the benefit of the current dictator who has been in power for 32 years.
The same Constitution was first gravely assaulted and violated in 2005, when Gen. Museveni who monopolizes the capacity to commit violence by operating the military and police forces like a family militia, coerced Parliament into removing the presidential term limits.
The Constitution is the soul and heart of any nation. Members of Parliament accepted $8,000 to plunge a dagger into the hearts of Ugandans.
It was a betrayal that Ugandans must not take lightly. They must never forget. They must talk to loved ones, friends, relatives --they must ask each other 'What must we do about this betrayal?'
Gen. Museveni stole the elections of 2016 and previous ones to that. His handpicked sham election commission chief Badru Kiggundu, and the justices of the Supreme Court, may one day get to provide Ugandans with details.
Therefore, Gen. Museveni is illegitimate; he's not authorized to carry out any Presidential powers including signing bills into law, commanding the armed forces, making appointments and negotiating with foreign governments and multilateral institutions on behalf of Uganda.
However, today's pressing issue is the Museveni social media tax. Apart from the egregious notion that a government led by an illegitimate President and a Parliament that is not representative of the wishes of the majority want to impose additional tax burden on the people, what about the issue of corruption?
Gen. Museveni himself and his Foreign Minister Sam Kutesa are implicated in an ongoing bribe-and-money-laundering case in U.S. federal court in New York.
Gen. Museveni's own former minister Zoe Bakoko revealed to the U.S. authorities when she was granted asylum and in a media interview with me that the Museveni regime's elite stole $5 million per month from the national social security fund.
So why should Ugandans entrust such a corrupt and heartless regime with any additional revenue from any new sources including Museveni's social media tax?
If the dictator's priorities are to buy tanks and jet fighters for his military so he can invade countries like Congo and South Sudan and buy a new multi-million dollars Gulf Stream jet for himself -while hospitals have no medicines and doctors and teachers aren't paid--should Ugandans really allow this regime to collect an extra shilling in taxes?
Ugandans are well aware of the conditions in hospitals around the country and there are no shortage of shameful examples that would cause a human being with a modest level of conscience to resign -- including the case of a hospital where one hospital is so resource constrained that dead bodies aren't removed from hospital beds for days.
Gen. Museveni is a man with no conscience.
Had the regime been able to create new jobs or train the young with marketable skills youth unemployment would not be at 85% and there would be other sources of revenue.
Gen. Museveni's desperate social media platform tax is manifestation of his failures.
Why should Gen. Museveni penalize Ugandans with additional burdens? Isn't 32 years of tyranny enough punishment on Uganda already?
Ugandans must resist Taxation without representation. They must ask each other--'What will we do about this betrayal?"

Continental Airline says that sick pilots resulted in flight cancellationsJuly 27th, 2011 - 11:39 pm ICT by Aishwarya Bhatt
Houston, July 27 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Continental Airlines on Wednesday announced the cancellation of more than 20 flights because several of their pilots called in sick. The company subsequently advised their customers to call the airline and confirm their flights before they get to the various airports.
According to the airline, they operate about 3,000 flights every. Pilots reporting sick has caused the company to cancel 21 of their planned flights. The company however failed to name the particular flights that were affected by the cancellation.
Continental said the affected flights were mainly in the New York area. The airline failed to state the reason why so many of their pilots have reported sick at the same time. The cancelation of the flights will undoubtedly affect several passengers.
Flight cancellation is a very frustrating experience. Passengers who fail to check on their flights before moving to the airport are often left stranded if they realized that their flights are cancelled. The biggest flight cancellations were caused by the Icelandic ash cloud which kept most of the airports in Europe closed down in 2009.
In the United States, all flights were grounded on the 11th of September 2001 shortly after terrorists used passenger aircrafts to kill almost 3,000 people. The planes remained grounded for days.

So You Want to Work in Fashion?
Dior Bediako, founder of Pepper Your Talk and The Junior Network shares her thoughts on how to start working in the fashion industry.
"I'm 17 and looking for work in the fashion industry. How would you suggest I start my career? I'm concerned about not having anything to put on my CV when applying for internships and unsure how to get in contact with the right people from the industry."
The first thing I would suggest is becoming very clear on what you want to do within the fashion industry! Don't overthink or feel as though this has to be a fixed decision - you simply need somewhere to start. Grab a pen and paper. On one side, write about what has attracted you to work in fashion and on the other side, write down what you feel your skills are.
It's tempting to do the crazy thing that we all do and say "I don't have any skills". I too felt the same way at one point. But skills come in various forms and sometimes the things that come easiest to you are your magic! A few examples would be: public speaking, research, being good with numbers, problem-solving and so on. Does that feel a little less nerve-wracking now? Good!
With this information, marry your interests with your skills and make a list of all the areas you could possibly embark on your fashion journey. Most people tend to go for the mainstream roles: Buying, PR, Marketing, Merchandising etc. But the possibilities in fashion, especially in 2018, are endless and you could look into more specialised roles such as media planning, customer insights or influencer marketing.
Now you should have a list of possible roles you'd like to take on. Are you ready to actually go out and secure an internship? You will be once your CV has been updated.
At 17, an employer won't expect you to have masses of experience on your CV if any at all! What they will look for is how you're demonstrating a desired skill set. You may not have industry experience but life is an experience within itself and that's all you need at the moment. Use college projects or extracurricular activities to highlight the things they'll be looking for.
A top tip would be to first read what skills the job description requires and secondly, find ways to convey a similar skill set through your previous experience. For example, if were selected to present your work at an exhibition or show, this would be a great way to highlight what you'd bring to the business. Yet, instead of simply stating what you did, focus on what was achieved.
Also, mentioning positions such as 'Course Representative' or 'Head of Student Relations' shows leadership and initiative. In terms of hobbies, try to keep these to a minimum as they may not be of interest to your potential employer. Yet, if they're relevant, provide some detail.
As you're a newbie in fashion, consider alternative ways to approach your potential employer, as your emails may get lost in the sea of other online applications. Others success stories involved posting CV and cover letters, designing a creative CV to match the branding of the company or even meeting the employers in person and putting themselves forward in that way.
It's also a good idea to look at your own personal network and determine who could connect you to the right people.
Your first internship will definitely be a steep learning curve! You'll learn a lot about the industry and about yourself. One such thing may be that you don't actually enjoy what you initially set out to do. Is that fine? Yes. Does it happen to a lot of people? Absolutely.
A key part of finding your 'forever' requires finding your "hell no!"
Good luck and enjoy the journey.

As the group stage of AFC Cup 2019 ASEAN Zone comes to a close, FOX Sports Asia football editor Gabriel Tan picks the six of the best performers from Match Day 6.
Home United, last year's ASEAN Zone champions, ultimately failed in their bid to reach the knockout round but they at least signed off on a high as they claimed a 2-0 triumph over Kaya FC-Iloilo on Tuesday.
For the second time in the campaign, Protectors center-back Abdil Qaiyyim ventured forward to the excellent effort as he turned home an Izzdin Shafiq freekick to double his side's lead after Adam Swandi had given them a first-minute lead.
But when it came to his primary responsibility, Qaiyyim did an excellent job of keeping Jordan Mintah quiet as Home nullified a Kaya side that had headed into the game having scored an impressive 13 goals in five matches.
Qualification for the zonal semi-finals may have had been secured prior to Tuesday, but that did not stop PSM Makassar from putting in a professional display as they comfortably breezed past Lao Toyota 3-0.
Rasyid Bakri, Saldi and Guy Junior may have been the scorers, but it was Bayu Gatra who emerged as the creator-in-chief in a sparkling display.
He laid on PSM's opener two minutes before the break when he broke free down the right and played a perfect cut-back into the path of Rasyid before another enterprising run-and-pass led to Saldi making it 2-0 in the 74th minute.
Needing to beat Tampines Rovers in order to guarantee their place in the zonal semi-finals, Hanoi FC did as they claimed a 2-0 win at the Hang Day Stadium.
While the goals were scored by Ganiyu Oseni and Nguyen Thanh Chung, it was Pham Duc Huy who set the tone with a typically industrious performance in defensive midfield, snapping into challenges and getting his side quickly on the front foot with his tidy distribution.
It was a corner from Duc Huy that was headed home by Thanh Chung for Hanoi's second and when Pham Thanh Luong was substituted in the second half, it was fitting that Duc Huy took over the captain's armband.
Having reached the ASEAN Zone semi-finals last year, 2019 has been a disappointing campaign for Yangon United but Maung Maung Lwin has proven to be a bright spark throughout.
The fleet-footed winger can lay claim to arguably being his team's best player right now and he has also added a consistency to his game that should see him catch the eye of many a club around the region.
And, after Yangon initially struggled to break down Nagaworld on Wednesday, Maung Maung Lwin finally provided the 75th-minute breakthrough with a 20-yard drive to ensure they would end their campaign with a second win at the very least.
In the end, there was no perfect group-stage campaign for Ceres-Negros as they were beaten 1-0 by Becamex Binh Duong, a result which also proved decisive in their opponents reaching the knockout round.
However, were it not for Roland Muller in the Busmen goal, Binh Duong might have claimed the won earlier, and by a far bigger margin.
The German-born Philippines international produced a string of fine saves and cannot really be faulted for getting lobbed from 40 yards for Wander Luiz's winner, as his side had been in possession before it was sloppily given away by Joshua Dutosme leading to Muller being caught out.
In the wake of Persija Jakarta's early elimination from the AFC Cup, Bruno Matos had offered to resign after feeling responsible for missing a crucial penalty but, in truth, they could ill afford to be without a player of his ilk with the 2019 Liga 1 campaign starting this week.
From the time he opened the scoring in Wednesday's 6-1 rout of Shan United with an audacious freekick from the right that caught opposition goalkeeper Phone Thitsar Min out of position, he was absolutely unplayable.
Having been involved in subsequent strikes by Novri Setiawan and Heri Susanto, Matos would net again twice beyond the 90th minute to complete his hat-trick in an emphatic win.

World Cup commonly refers to:
World Cup can also refer to:
"World" is a song from the Bee Gees' fourth album Horizontal, released in 1967 in the United Kingdom. Though it was a big hit in Europe, Atco Records did not issue it as a single in the United States, having just issued a third single from Bee Gees' 1st, "Holiday".
The song's lyrics question the singer's purpose in life.
The song's first recording session was on 3 October 1967 along with "With the Sun in My Eyes" and "Words". The song's last recording session was on 28 October 1967. "World" was originally planned as having no orchestra, so all four tracks were filled with the band, including some mellotron or organ played by Robin. When it was decided to add an orchestra, the four tracks containing the band were mixed to one track and the orchestra was added to the other track. The stereo mix suffered since the second tape had to play as mono until the end when the orchestra comes in on one side. Barry adds: "'World' is one of those things we came up with in the studio, Everyone just having fun and saying, 'Let's just do something!' you know". Vince Melouney recalls: "I had this idea to play the melody right up in the top register of the guitar behind the chorus".
World (previously PBS World) is a United States over-the-air digital subchannel showing public TV non-fiction, science, nature, news, public affairs and documentaries. It is contributed to by the Public Broadcasting Service, WGBH-TV, WNET, and NETA and administered by American Public Television.
Stations may also choose to place their own programming, such as local government hearings and events, on their subchannel at local discretion. PBS coverage of Presidential speeches and addresses are also offered regularly as part of the World schedule.
Z-Ro versus the world, feel me round one
Is it reality or just a fable
The most powerful lyricists in the world was on a low budget label
Even if I don't clear me in I just want to be living well
Not saying that heaven is promised to me but I don't want to believe in hell
Feeling on coming also cause problems worry me
If it ain't the stress somebody's always trying to bury me
So thinking I'm undercovers and the dope they try to deal me
Jealousy and envy make my niggas want to kill me
Everybody want to pick up a gun and bust thinking artillery fin to be
Drilling me nigga
But I' sick of this pistol play bumping ain't no more killng me nigga
Cause I'm a soldier, trying to keep his mind at ease
And if I squeeze then we all bleed
[Chorus - 2x]
Feel a nigga worldwide, not just in Texas
I think I'm bout to lose my mind, aggravated and restless
I don't want to die
Look at how they made me, traditon systems raised me
The drama that they give me never ceases to amaze me
They tell me that my mind's gone, coming up is what my mind's on
I guess there's nothing left to do but get my grind on
Thinking about my family but knowing they neglect me
I'm not gonna give up, I'm gonna make my family respect me
I'm talking to my father now, daddy I'm a grown up
Depending on you is false-a-fied because you haven't shown up
Caught up in these streets I'm taking penitentiary chances
I done forgived and I done forget plus I'm not giving you anymore chances
Quick to run out of the house for nothing now your son is feeling anger
Remember the times you couldn't come around because your life has been in danger
I'm a leader to follow is not my destiny
But I guess it was written for me to fall victim to jealousy
It's killing me to stay alive, but there ain't no use in me crying
No matter what I guess it's what is right, on southside
[Chorus - 2x]
Whoever would of thought that I would be this fam-ous
Put in work until it hurt but keep pretending it's pain it's
Affiliated with killers when we fight us to the death
Picture your partner cocked and aim and headed straight for your chest
It's hard to focus cause my homies keep on killing eachother
Everybody stressing cause ain't nobody feeling eachother
I often conversate with god but who's to say if he's listening
Even though I died as a sinner but resurrected as a christian
At 11 years old I was told that most friends turn to foes
From velicos to calicoes it helps when our battle folds
If it ain't true, if it ain't crew, it's a mexican deed
I'ma catch an attitude instntly bitch you plexing with me
And ain't no begging for mercy because you shot my nigga
And I swear to god everywhere you go it's gone be hot my nigga
And maybe god can forgive you but see the streets seeing different
They want you dead you might not make it to prison, bitch
[Chorus - 4x]
(Z-Ro talking)
Ha ha, new millenium music, shouts out
