One of the mistakes entry level candidates make is not being prepared to ask questions. I have always maintained that an interview is as much about you learning about the company as it is them learning about you. That in of itself should be motivation enough for you to think up high impact questions that provide you with clarity on what is a huge decision. Switching jobs is always a gamble and since we spend so much time at work, it's a decision of great consequence. However, that is not the only reason you should be asking questions. I also feel strongly that at the end of the day, you want to be the one making the decisions. So that means ultimately you want to be extended an offer and you should be the person deciding whether or not it is the right career move for you. With that end goal in mind it is extremely important that you come prepared with questions ask, at every level of interview. The reason I say that is having questions prepared is going to be a positive indicator in the eyes of virtually everyone you speak to during the hiring process. From sourcer, to recruiter, to hiring manager and human resources manager, if they talk with you, they will most likely ask you if you have any questions. Given the gravity of the situation, who wouldn't have several questions to ask? So, we ask questions not only to find out necessary information but also because having thoughtful questions reflects highly on us. With that being said, below are some questions you should be asking during your interviews.
- Why is this role open?
The answer to this question will give you an idea about the companies urgency to fill the role. While this isn't a hard and fast rule, there are exceptions, if a position is newly created as opposed to a position being open because somebody left, they may not be in a hurry to fill it. Why is that the case? Well it is most often the case because when a company has a new role, it is something they have lived without up until this point. When you have an employee doing a job and that job becomes vacant, it usually means that task is no longer being done or they are having to spread resources in order to get this task completed. This either means other things aren't getting done or employees are working longer hours. Both of these scenarios create a strain and therefor extra motivation to get the role filled. For you own information you want to be aware of their potential timing and desire to fill the role. When you ask recruiter something like "when do you want to have this position filled?" 99% of the time they are going to tell you "as soon as we can find the right person" and quite frankly that's not really helpful. If you really want to know their urgency, ask why the role is open. Now that being said sometimes a role is created and it is just as urgent, but most of the time it won't be.
- What have past employees done to be successful in roles like this?
This is a great question to ask. For starters, in my opinion, it is super insightful. Some questions you may ask because you are genuinely curious, some you ask because it will impress the person interviewing you and questions like this you ask for both reasons. I especially like this question if you have further interviews because it allows you to figure out what parts of your experience make sense to highlight in upcoming interviews. For example, if they mention that people in the past behave been successful in this role who happen to have strong communication skills, then clearly they have given you an area of your background that it makes sense to expand upon. Not only will this tell you if you personality or skills will help you succeed if you gets the role but it will help you shift the very make up of potential answers you can give down the road. Now, I don't recommend exaggerating or pretending to have skills you don't actually possess, that is always a terrible idea. But if they happen to mention a strong indicator for success that aligns with your strengths, by all means you should try and work that into answers for future questions.
- What do you like about working here?
This question is purely for you. The passion in the persons voice should probably tell you everything you need to know. Does it take them a long time to think of things? Do they sound like they are describing a trip to the dentist instead of what you were hoping to hear described as a great culture? Do they give you a quick canned answer or is there something more to work with there. Everyone knows what is important to them. For some people it is growth opportunity, for some it is work life balance and for some they want to hear about employee development. Do you hear an answer that indicates this company can give you what you are looking for?
- What's the top priority for the person who takes this job for the first three months?
This is another great question. It gives you an insight into what you can expect to be doing for the first 90 days, which is a crucial time for their post hire evaluation. If heard employers say that they treat those first 90 days almost as another extended interview. When taking a new role, the first 90 days are absolutely crucial. By learning what those first 90 days will consist of it also positions you to better understand whether or not you will be able to thrive during this extremely important time in your tenure at your new company. It's another question that, as a recruiter, makes me feel strongly about the thought a candidate is putting into the process. To put it simply, it's the kind of question good candidates ask. Good candidates, who want a full picture of the situation and make sure they make decisions having all available information ask questions like that.
- What challenges will this person likely face in this role?
This is another great question that not only falls under the "questions good candidates ask" category but can also really help you down the road determining if the role is right for you. When someone conducting an interview is asked a question like this it can be really hard to quickly think of an answer that isn't a genuine issue that might come up. While most of the time interviewers will attempt to not dissuade you from wanting the role, a question like this is usually pretty good at generating an honest answer. That answer might be invaluable down the road as you decide whether or not the role is a right fit for you. For example, let's say you are a Quality Engineer. You ask the question and the answer is that often production doesn't want to adhere to the quality standards and that it can be a challenge to get management on board when it comes to backing your quality implementations. Well whoa, if you are a quality engineer wouldn't you want to know that? I know I would. In addition to that, much like the prior success question it can help you find different pain points that align with the skills you would be able to bring to the position. This can help you sell your abilities further into the interview process and set you up for interview success.
Well there you have it, those are my 5 excellent interview questions you need to ask. That being said, there are other questions you can ask in addition to those. For example I always like to ask about development opportunities they have for their employees. What a company is willing to invest in you will tell you a lot about how they treat and value their employees. There is also a lot you can learn from the lengths at which they go to answer your questions. If they answer with a lot of quick and short answers, you can probably figure out that there isn't a lot of interest in you as a candidate. On the other hand, when an interviewer goes out of their way to fully answer your questions and continues to sell the company and the role, you can probably figure that they have interest in you as a candidate. Again, I wouldn't consider this a hard and fast rule. The fact is that some people are overly enthusiastic and some people have more steady sounding voices that don't give a lot away. However generally speaking there is a lot you can gain if you pay attention to the tone, duration and passion in their answers. Hope that helped! Thanks for reading!

Harpenden claim dramatic win as rain washes out rest of Premier ties
PUBLISHED: 10:46 03 August 2017 | UPDATED: 10:46 03 August 2017
Danny Loo Photography 2017
The weather was on Harpenden's side on Saturday as they raced against time in order to complete an unlikely victory over Luton Town and Indians on The Common.
It was the only game in the Saracens Hertfordshire Cricket League Premier Division to beat the rain and reach a conclusion, moving Harpenden within four points of the play-offs.
The game didn't start until after lunch and Luton decided to bat first.
This decision seemed to be the wrong one as they struggled to 6-2 with Billy May and George Garrett removing the openers with some patient bowling.
Once the foundations were laid skipper Ben Frazer and experienced left-arm spinner Richard Darwin made full use of the friendly conditions, taking the remaining eight wickets.
Frazer showed his class claiming 6-20, moving his wicket tally for the year onto 33.
With swift overs and good catches, Harpenden dismissed the visitors for 87 but from then on it became a race against time as they chased a result before the forecast deluge.
The consensus was that the rain would arrive around 5pm meaning that the batters had about 50 minutes to get the job done.
With that in mind, the openers went on the offensive from the off.
Greg Cooper bashed 17 off 14 balls whilst Ben Frazer hit a pair of sixes on his way to 28 off 19 balls.
Things were looking good even though the weather didn't.
However, alarm bells began to ring when the Luton Town overseas Kunal Gawand dislodged Harpy's middle order, taking a hat-trick and bowling the visitors back into the game as Harpenden found themselves at 51-5.
But up stepped Ben Clements (16 off 23) and Alex Axon (16 off 15) who steered the side home taking Harpenden to their fifth win of the season.
They go to Hertford on Saturday.
Two other Harpenden teams beat the weather on their way to victories.
The 3rds carried on their dominant form in Division Four B, beating Northwood by nine wickets, with Arthur Garrett getting his second league fivefer at the age of 15.
Idris Hussain also claimed five wickets as the 5ths beat Flamstead 2nds by 70 runs to stay top of Division 10B.

By Gavin McNichol, Juneau Empire, April 6, 2018
I arrived in Juneau last summer with mixed emotions. I was excited to start a new life in Southeast, but I'd also just left behind a project I cared a lot about.
Inspired by the book "Mountains Beyond Mountains" by Tracy Kidder (2003), I'd joined a research project after finishing my PhD to study the operations of an organization called Sustainable Organic Integrated Livelihoods (SOIL), that provides an innovative sanitation service to communities in Haiti. I spent several months in Haiti, experienced SOIL's work first-hand, and befriended an international team who are showing that human waste (that's right, poop!) can be transformed into safe and useful resources. My work in Haiti ended last summer, but I've since discovered that there are similar unmet sanitation needs here in Alaska.
Ecological sanitation (EcoSan) involves changing the way we think about flows of waste materials from linear paths, into cycles. This shift isn't new. We've done it in the context of industrial waste, glass and aluminum recycling, and increasingly for food waste composting. EcoSan extends the principle a little further and recognizes that human waste contains water, energy, carbon and nutrient resources too. EcoSan, as with other recycling, isn't a one-fits-all approach. EcoSan solutions can draw on different technologies to achieve the same goals of nutrient recapture, energy production, and water use reduction. However, one barrier to implementation is the fact that EcoSan solutions, as with sanitation generally, have a public perception problem.
People don't want to talk about human waste. Poop carries with it a certain stigma — referred to by sanitation geeks as the "ick-factor" — which crosses cultures globally, rich and poor. This reaction has plenty of rational basis. Untreated human waste can contain unhealthy pathogens, and can smell pretty bad too. But the "ick" response can also be misguided, reactionary and even harmful, when it blocks implementation of smarter sanitation options, or where our collective embarrassment means we end up flushing the whole conversation down the toilet.
To say this taboo is harmful is not hyperbole. In international development sanitation was, for decades, subsumed within the more palatable objective of increasing access to clean water. By 2015, about 91 percent of the world's population had access to improved drinking water while access to improved sanitation had stagnated around 60 percent (See attribution below). The excellent book "The Last Taboo" (Black & Falkner, 2008) provides the whole scoop on the ways that taboos around human waste have led us to the global sanitation crisis. Around 2 million people — mostly women and children — still die each year from preventable diarrhea.
Most people lacking improved sanitation live in rapidly growing informal settlements in the developing world. SOIL Haiti's operation near the city of Cap-Haïtien primarily serves those in the poorest slums, such as Shada, a neighborhood that forever altered my perception of the expression "concrete jungle." However, the principles of ecological sanitation that drives SOIL's work are universal, and the last few months have affirmed this as I've learned about water and sanitation in Alaska.
A substantial amount of work has been undertaken to describe, and start to address, the sanitation disparities on the Last Frontier. About 18 percent of rural Alaskans do not have improved sanitation. Within those households, children's health outcomes are poorer, and rates of respiratory infections are higher. Conventional piped and water-based systems are costly, especially in permafrost. One piped installation in Buckland was estimated to cost around $500,000 per household. These facts lead me to ask whether EcoSan principles have been, or could be, explored here in Alaska?
In Haiti, SOIL combines dry household bucket toilets (container-based sanitation) with composting of the collected material at a separate facility. Their sizable operation employs local people and produces a sanitary, sellable, compost fertilizer. SOIL's services have grown successfully in a country where improved sanitation access sits around 28 percent, where flooding can make a movable bucket toilet very handy, and where soil erosion has reduced agricultural fertility. EcoSan in Alaska would look very different — freezing temperatures present new challenges — but the sustainability of remote villages may benefit from locally defined solutions that can recycle nutrients, conserve liquid water for drinking, and even produce heat.

I can't promise Ohtori Encampment, there's a very real chance it would fail spectacularly offline (especially on an older client). I can, however, pretty much guarantee the two free missions (Sinners' Banquet, Castle of Monsters) will work. They're a little bit less unique, but Castle of Monsters especially still brings something to the table, at least (namely "a lot of the larger monsters").

Overall Product Rankings
An Overview On College Backpacks
Heading to your college classes with a backpack that's falling apart or can't quite accommodate all of your textbooks is no fun. When you want to focus on your studies and make sure you ace your next paper, it's important you have everything you need right at your fingertips. A backpack that has room for all of your things is an excellent way to prepare for the exciting year ahead.
When you're looking for a college backpack, start by figuring out what kinds of things you'll need to bring with you. If you're staying on or close to campus, you may have the opportunity to head back to your room to grab things or switch books out of your bag. But if you have a tightly packed schedule or live far from school, then you'll want to make sure you bring everything you need with you.
Many college students bring their laptop or tablet so they can take notes digitally. It's lot more efficient than taking notes by hand. A special laptop pocket in your backpack ensures your tech is safe. It won't bump around as you move and won't get banged up if you set your backpack on the floor. Make sure you use this pocket every time you bring your laptop or tablet with you. In addition, make sure you bring your charger with you, in case it runs out of batteries.
You'll also need space for a few textbooks, notebooks and stationery. It's also important to bring a reusable water bottle or coffee cup, as well as a few healthy and energizing snacks. Don't forget things like your Chapstick, sunglasses and a pack of gum.
DWYM Fun Fact
Be sure to pack your college backpack properly so you can find everything when you need it. Put the heaviest items closest to your back so they are easier to carry. This includes your laptop, tablet and textbooks. Keep items like your water bottle or travel mug in the outer pockets so you can access them easily – and so they don't leak on the inside of your bag where your tech and books are. Things like your wallet, phone, student ID and keys are best kept in a smaller interior pocket so they are easy to find but can also deter theft.
The College Backpack Buying Guide
- Your college backpack needs to have room for everything you need to carry. Begin by making a list of things you'll be bringing with you on a daily basis so you can get an idea of the kind of space you'll need. Then opt for a backpack that has different compartments and pockets. You don't want to get a backpack that has just one giant pocket, because then it will be really hard to organize and find your things.
- Durability is key so that you don't have to replace your college backpack in the middle of the school year. For handles and straps, check the stitching to make sure they are well-anchored to the bag and won't tear off. A rubber bottom on the bag will ensure it doesn't tear. Heavy cloth or canvas material is best and able to last through many years of use.
- When it comes to zippers, looks for sturdy ones that have a fabric flap over top for protection. This way, the zippers aren't exposed to snow and rain which can cause them to rust and deteriorate.
- For many college students, having a USB charger built into your backpack makes a world of difference. That way if your phone or laptop dies midday, you can get it back up and running. Keep in mind that tech features will increase the weight of the bag. They can also increase the price.
- Look for broad straps that are padded. These make it more comfortable to carry around a heavy load all day. Having a padded back panel is also helpful. A waist strap helps to distribute the weight more evenly over your body, so that not all of the burden is on your shoulders.

I was awakened most horribly this morning.
My cat, Merlot, has a cancer of the jaw. It involves bloody drool.
This morning, I think that she was feeling sick and lonely, so she came and sat on the headboard above me as I slept.
Aaaaaaand she drooled her bloody drool on my face. That was how I woke up this morning. Bloody cat drool to the forehead.
It's a freak-horror show around here, folks.
In other news, I can pretty much guarantee that the day is going to improve!

NEW DELHI: With Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Barack Obama having resolved to facilitate greater movement of professionals, investors and business travellers, students, and exchange visitors between the two countries and the signing of an MoU for development of an international expedited traveler initiative (also known as the Global Entry Program), some Indian travellers are now set to join an elite group that enjoys expedited clearance upon
arrival in the US. While PM Modi and President Obama have resolved to complete within the next three months the procedures for India's entry into the Global Entry Program (GEP), the details about the timeline are not yet clear. "Now after the joint statement by the two leaders, the department of homeland security will take the process forward to facilitate India's entry into the GEP. And though it's not yet in effect in India, once it is implemented it will be a big help for travellers who are qualified to apply for it. The programme which was earlier only for American passport holders is now extended to some of our trusted partners too," said Elizabeth Sehwefler, acting consul general, at the US embassy in Delhi, during the mission's second annual student visa day on Thursday. Global Entry is a US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) programme that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travellers upon arrival in the US. Members enter the US through automatic kiosks at select airports. At airports, programme members proceed to global entry kiosks, present their machine-readable passport or US permanent resident card, place their fingerprints on the scanner for fingerprint verification and complete a customs declaration. The kiosk issues the traveller a transaction receipt and directs the traveller to baggage claim and the exit. Travellers must be pre-approved for the programme. All applicants undergo a rigorous background check and in-person interview before enrollment. As part of the student visa day celebrations, the US embassy in Delhi and consulates across the country opened their doors to a record 4,000 student visa applicants. Currently, there are 1,32,000 Indian students enrolled for higher education in the US, making them the second largest group of foreign students after the Chinese.

text: The Latin Scot 886 Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) I do find it rather frustrating when people become sticklers for ... well, let's say a lackadaisical attitude towards the uniform. I could simply repost a comment I made earlier in another thread concerning uniforms, but as far as this topic goes, I have only one line of thought: changing our personal language to refer to field and activity uniforms (as opposed to "class A and B") requires almost no effort beyond a conscious choice, and those who find such a tiny alteration of their speech challenging are hindered not by the difficulty of the task, but rather by their own attitudes and prejudices. The BSA asks us, repeatedly, not to use the terms 'class A or B.' You can obey and thus model forthright obedience to your Scouts, or you can flippantly (or even belligerently) ignore it, and so model all the accompanying values and behaviors of that choice to your Scouts in turn. I, for one, find it an important and helpful distinction, and regardless of what perceptions may be promulgated in this thread, I will continue to post my feelings on it so long as the BSA teaches the difference. How others choose to respond is entirely up to them, but I must do my part in standing for what I believe to be an important point of our uniforming pedagogy.

The "I Just Got That!" Facepalm-Worthy Moments Discussion
on February 6th 2016, 7:05 pm
I was thinking about nothing in particular just now, and my brain suddenly worked out something which I haven't realised in 15 years: the Tuni Nut, an item located in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages's Symmetry Village, has a punny name. It's a combination of "two" and "ni" (the Japanese word for two), which is a reference to the fact that it brings perfect symmetry and balance to Symmetry Village, as well as its later incarnation of Symmetry City. I can't believe I only just got that after all this time!

Consistently Modular: Duplex by Valparaíso
Deutsche Version
Architect: Alejandro Soffia, Santiago de Chile (CL)
Structural engineering: José Manuel Morales, Santiago de Chile (CL)
Location: Los Maitenes s/n, Cachagua (CL)
Material Aesthetics
Ordner now in our online shop:
Single issue
The double house built for two brothers on the outskirts of the town of Cachagua, located on the Pacific coast of Chile, asserts itself entirely in black. For a long time, architect Alejandro Soffia had planned to use wood panelling for the façades and roof. Ultimately, he decided in favour of a more durable cladding of dark fibre cement. Inside, the walls and ceilings are covered with light-coloured pinewood. This may make it difficult to immediately detect the structural assembly of the house; however, the façades and their room-high windows still hint at the modular construction.
The house serves its owners as a second home for holidays and weekends. Each of the two couples has four children. Moreover, each half of the duplex was to have a room for a domestic worker. One of the two living units has an additional guest room as well. The floor plan is a variation on the typology of the traditional shotgun houses of the southern United States. These are accessed from the narrow end and comprise a single sequence of rooms extending to the back of the property. In contrast, Soffia's design has placed the entrances to the house in a single-storey annex on the south side.
For this building, Soffia relied to a large extent on structural insulated panels, or SIPs for short. These self-supporting sandwich panels consist of an insulated core of rigid foam between two layers of OSB panelling. Most SIPs are now made with standardized OSB layers measuring 122 x 488 cm. In this case, the longer side determined the width of the house, while the shorter side forms the basic modules for the façades. In order to give them additional flexural rigidity, the sandwich panels have been reinforced by wood and, in some places, steel profiles along their edges.

Hugh Greer
Born in Kansas City, Missouri, Hugh Greer later attended the University of Kansas graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Industrial Design. He moved to Wichita, Kansas to pursue a career in Industrial Design and Architectural Delineation before establishing himself as a fine arts painter. His love of dramatic weather and textural vistas highly influenced his decision to become a full time landscape artist.
Hugh paints in a style that is easy for people of all ages to relate to and appreciate. He has a keen eye for composition and color and his landscapes are both nostalgic in their purity and realistic in their execution.
Greer's art captures illumination in all its forms: bright and glowing as the sun lights an evening sky through an atmospheric filter that emits a red-orange hue; thick and heavy on an overcast day; muted on a foggy morning; and glisteningly intensifying color after it rains.
All of his works exhibit a profound reverence for the land Greer calls home.
"I find Kansas beautiful, just like I find the Rocky Mountains beautiful and the high desert of New Mexico and Arizona. I try to express my love for these different areas of the United States in my paintings."
~ Hugh Greer

Secrets of life, chap. 11
In the foregoing you have language as communication and the word spiritually grasped and expounded before you. Now we are going to turn to art, or the urge inherent in all human beings to present their thoughts and concepts in forms or pictures.
Here the animals must remain excluded, for whatever "work of art" they perform is determined by the nature of their own Self and serves only towards their preservation and procreation, and this is why the animals perform their artful works only instinctively and without aforethought, so that with them there can be neither progress nor improvement.
Art, or the urge to render what is seen in signs, pictures or clearly defined forms, is likewise a language of the soul. It is, as has just been stated of "language", the urge to render what was seen. The only difference lies in that with language the innermost state of the soul is revealed in articulate sounds and tones, whereas in art, as form and sign language, the soul is urged to firmly reproduce its favorite impressions in forms, signs and pictures. Clothing them in material forms, it secures a permanent value to the impressions of objects of the outer world and reveals in viewing them so as to be able to, as it were, repeat the impressions frequently.
Therefore, this need is based on the urge to firmly fixate the fleeting course of the speech or the content of what was thought, said or seen.
All peoples and all human spiritual beings in all other worlds have this urge in common with you. Everywhere art is alive, but in differing styles, so that it only corresponds to the spiritual level of the beings living there, revealing their innermost nature.
Also on your earth you see that the lowest, most primitive peoples take delight in lending a permanent value to certain pleasant impressions by means of drawn, painted and formed images.
14 January 1871
"These three words denote three things that occur in all worlds and suns, for they represent the fundamental activity and the main lever for spiritual progress. You can find them everywhere, adapted to the relative dimensions of the world globes and to the spiritual development of mankind.
Since these three most important vital factors occur everywhere and without them no life, not even mutual recognition or a cognition of the spiritual world and, finally, no recognition of the structure of My creation and of My own self would be possible, naturally the question arises above all:
What actually is language? What art? And what music?
Furthermore: why are three of them necessary? And what spiritual substance is hidden in these expressions manifesting in material life? Be it in the spoken word, or in articulated sounds, in the form, or in ideas expressed through limited areas, or conveyed by sound that cannot be understood, but only felt!
So let us deal with the first question: "What is language?"
As I have already indicated to you in an earlier word, language is a communication from the innermost of one being through the outer world to another.

Review: Wii Play
What started out as a series of tech demos, has turned into a compilation of games complete with a free Wiimote. Wii Play is not as verbose as Wii Sports even those it has more minigames. The 9 minigames are as follows: Target Practice, Find Mii, Pose Mii, Table Tennis, Laser Hockey, Billiards, Fishing, Charge!, and Tanks!
Wii Play really focuses on helping people get used to using the Wiimote. The minigames highlight pointing, tilting, and general motions with the Wiimote. Wii Play also allows for Mii characters to play and gain medals in each of the minigames. Most of the minigames are very simplistic and really don't offer too much of a challenge. Other games like Tanks! and Billiards offer pretty deep experiences. There are tons of levels and difficulty in the Tanks! minigame and Billiards offers a truly innovative Pool experience.
Like I said, the game isn't very deep, but it does give an idea of how the Wiimote is used for various motions and activities. It's really a 'gateway drug' to the Wii if you will. It will hook the casual gamer and open them up to all the other games available on the Wii.
Visuals: Visuals are nothing special. They're similar to Wii Sports in that they are very clean. A lot of the appeal in the game comes from the simple particle effects and reflections that add to the simplistic nature of the game.
Gameplay: The gameplay is great and shows why the Wii is able to attract gamers and nongamers alike.
Replay Value: You will play this game over and over again. It's simple like Wii Sports, but that's the beauty of it. You can be doing something as simple as controlling a tank on a little wooden board for countless hours. Wii Play capitalizes on the fun factor.
Wii Innovations: Wii Play utilizes the Wiimote and nunchuk pretty well. The motions are more compartmentalized—meaning instead of tilting and motioning together in Wii Sports, you're simply doing each of those separately. In Target Practice, all you do is point and shoot. It's simplistic yet fun.
Verdict: If you're in need of an extra Wiimote, then Wii Play is a no-brainer. You get a Wiimote with a bargain game that gives a decent experience for the amount of money you actually pay for it ($50 game – $40 Wiimote = a $10 game).

I was doing some things with larger numbers this week. Septillion through decillion large. Which got me onto how September's name implies it is the seventh of something, but it's the ninth month in the Gregorian calendar. October is not the eighth month, November is not the ninth month, and December is not the tenth month.
So how did we get here, misnaming our months?
The answer is actually pretty simple. In the ten-month, lunar-based Roman calendar, September was the seventh month of the year and was followed by October, November, and December. Then, when the Roman calendar was replaced by the Julian calendar in the first century BCE, no one thought, "hey…this doesn't really follow anymore". Or, more likely, no one listened to the pedants who no doubt raised the very logical question of why we were mis-numbering months.

Why is Los Angeles So Noisy?
Horns blasting, screeching tires, vehicles peeling out, jackhammering, construction, loud music, and other types of noise are the realities of living in a large and congested city like Los Angeles. Yes, you don't expect to come to this city and live the quest life you have always dreamed about. Did you know that noise could pose a serious hazard to your health? Well, the New York Times showed overexposure to traffic noise can result awful things such as heart attacks.
In fact, if you are reading this post and you are based in Los Angeles, there is probably something distracting you – leaf blowers, heavy sirens, trucks, and the over 10 LAPD choppers thwarting the air for more than five hours.
Of course, not every part of this famous city will be hard on your ears. There are a bunch of areas where you can live in peace with minimal noise levels.
Do you want to know the noisiest neighborhoods in LA? Find them in this list!
Noisiest Cities in Los Angeles:
Downtown LA
More often than not, downtown LA is regarded as one of the liveliest parts of Los Angeles, which is characterized by an array of Avant-grade infrastructure, a vibrant culture, and some of America's finest restaurants.
But to create a modern renaissance, there needs to be construction projects going on, which is why this part of the city has become a hub of unending noise, leaving residents complaining.
Construction projects are not the only source of noise for Downtown LA dwellers. When night falls, it will fill your inner ears with loud music coming from nightclubs and other entertainment joints. If you are coming to LA for leisure, and you don't mind having your eardrums disturbed then you'll have a great time, but if you are thinking about moving, then this noisy neighborhood might not be the best option.
Hollywood Boulevard
You might know Hollywood Boulevard for the best things it offers – such as the Hollywood walk of fame. However, what you might not know is that it is an area where clubbing, heavy drinking, and regular fighting is common.
For a long time, this neighborhood has recorded high noise levels. Clubs such as the Hollywood Super Club have faced charges for violating their permits and zoning laws, yet they still remain in business. Hollywood Boulevard is all about noise!
With some clubs such as The Day after and many other going rogue, it is evident that the dwellers of this part of the city know no peace, and that their complaints seem to fall in deaf ears. If you want to live a quiet life in LA, Hollywood Boulevard should not be an option!
About 20 years ago, residents in Burbank complained that planes from the Bob Hope Airport were shaking their houses. A major complaint was that children were not able to sleep.
As of 2018, the airport has put lots of measures in place to ensure the aircrafts are quieter. For example, they have insulated and soundproofed the homes near the airfield. However, the neighborhood still records high noise levels and a myriad of health complications that follow as a result.
Airport management has placed a voluntary curfew that starts at 10 pm and ends at 7 am. However, the curfew does not hinder planes from landing, especially when they are rerouted from other airports or in case of emergencies.
The airport, the Federal Aviation Administration and residents have achieved significant milestones in mitigating the noise levels. However, since the issue has not been fully resolved, Burbank is on our list of the noisiest neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
Want to learn more about noise monitoring at Bob Hope Airport? Read more to find out about current regulations and updates.
Popularly known as Ktown by residents, Koreatown is one of the noisiest neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Most of the noise emanates from police helicopters blazing over the houses or commercial choppers.
Some choppers in this area fly as low as 100 feet, and the FAA doesn't seem to care. In fact, a senior FAA official said that the federation is not mandated to control aircraft noise.
Well, if you want to live in Korea town, be ready to have choppers pass over your apartment every day.
Santa Monica
In this neighborhood, there are 'normal' noises that come many things. Some of these include nightclubs, hooting vehicles, sirens, and choppers hovering in the air in search for criminals. But in Santa Monica, these are not the major sources of noise. The giant in the room is the Santa Monica Municipal Airport.
This is doubtlessly one of the busiest airports in the city, with over 260 aircraft operating every day in this 227-acre airfield.
With traffic increasing considerably, the airport has raised debate on whether it has outgrown its surroundings. Mitigating noise in this area has posed a challenge for the Santa Monica Airport Noise Management office and the FAA. We cannot shun away from the fact that a lot has been done to fix this problem, but still, Santa Monica closes our list of the noisiest neighborhoods in LA.
Community groups and residents have over the years aired the concerns about the rising noise levels. Some of these complaints have been addressed, but whether or not noise pollution will lessen is unknown. Maybe, someone from the government will read this article, and something will be done to assure residents get a good night sleep.
