When you read the word "negotiating", what is your reaction?
Does it sounds something like the following:
"Blecchhhh. I hate doing it…do I really have to?"
"Why bother, the answer is probably "no" anyway."
"Maybe I'll get what I want without having to ask…I'll wait a little longer."
"I'll go for it next time. Really, I will."
Ironically, if you're like many women, you are probably quite brilliant at advocating on behalf of someone else, yet not for yourself.
Are you tired of not getting what you want?
Are you exhausted by the energy it takes to avoid negotiating?
Do you convince yourself a negotiation isn't worth it, if it might hurt or create discomfort in the relationship with the other person?
You're not alone! Even some of the most successful, high-powered women are uncomfortable with negotiating for themselves and go to great lengths to avoid it. And we're not just talking about negotiating our salaries, a raise, or a promotion.
As women, we miss opportunities to negotiate all the time, in every area of life! Research has shown that women negotiate four times less often than men and tend to concede much sooner and accept less. In fact, approximately 20 percent of women don't negotiate at all. That's crazy to imagine, right? The good news is that it's never too late to learn how to negotiate like a pro. Now is the time to take control and finally get everything you deserve!
This workshop is a co-creation by Kelly Studer and Heidi Kraft. We are a powerful duo who leverages a combined 40 years of business experience, career success, coaching expertise, and genuine passion to propel professionals to the next level of success.
When you join this interactive workshop, you won't just learn the tactics, tools and strategies that make you a more skilled negotiator. This workshop will be going much deeper. Our approach includes mind-blowing exercises that will help shift your entire mindset, so you will stop avoiding and start confidently embracing negotiating in every area of your life…especially your career. A bold shift, we know.
In this workshop, you will learn:
- the underlying reasons women avoid negotiating
- how to reduce the discomfort, fears and anxieties associated with negotiating
- how to clearly assess and align on what you really want (and need!) so you can ask for it
- negotiation techniques that really work (and feel good!)
You should attend this workshop if you:
- believe in investing in yourself because you are worth it
- recognize that it's never too late to become an awesome negotiator
- are tired of avoiding the negotiation process out of discomfort or fear
- know you deserve more but realize you're going to have to ask for it
- enjoy meeting other like-minded, successful women
You'll leave this workshop with a fresh perspective and genuine excitement to start negotiating immediately. You'll see your negotiating confidence soar and will be seizing opportunities to ask for and get more in every area of your life. You may even enjoy it along the way!
Ready to start negotiating with confidence? It's an investment in yourself that will pay off in immediate results…but it's the exponential success that will be the greatest reward.

Indirect Reflections in Claude Autant-Lara's Films During the Nazi Occupation of France
In these Nazi-era escapist films by Claude Autant-Lara, the idea of escape itself and the uncertainties of the fronts we display to others become more complicated than anyone would wish.
Claude Autant-Lara: Four Romantic Escapes from Occupied France
Claude Autant-Lara
23 Jan 2018Other
Volume 45 in Criterion's Eclipse Series contains four French movies directed by Claude Autant-Lara, though we may just as well say four films starring Odette Joyeux. This petite, elfin actress was pushing 30 in the earliest of these productions, yet she's specializing in teen virgins who are simultaneously waif-like and wise.
In three of the titles, Joyeux plays the spoiled upper-class daughter of indulgent fathers who keep shrewish or meddling maternal figures at bay. As the heroine of The Marriage of Chiffon (Le mariage de Chiffon, 1942), she moons over her uncle by marriage (Jacques Dumesnil), an older man consumed by the desire to build an airplane and therefore committed to progress and his country's glory, a man doomed to become a national hero.
She's being courted by an even older gentleman (André Luguet) who's both a duke and a colonel, yet the latter is such a fair player that when he intuits Chiffon's feelings for her dashing uncle, he pushes her towards realizing those emotions and bows out gracefully. The comic highlight occurs in the first reel and involves some clever Cinderella business with a lost shoe.
Louis Seigner plays Chiffon's doormat-ish stepfather, brother to the aspiring aviator, while Suzanne Dantès chirps through the proceedings as the overbearing and class-conscious mother. The setting is early in the 20th Century, around the time of the Wright Brothers.
All three of the films made during the Nazi Occupation of France take place in an earlier, supposedly more carefree time and are positioned as apolitical escapism that wouldn't offend the Vichy regime or their German masters. Lettres d'amour (1942) and Douce (Love Story, 1943) even go back to the 19th Century. Still, they sometimes can't help resonating with their time. Douce includes a father with a wooden leg who had been an artilleryman in "the war", though obviously neither of the wars that yielded legless Frenchman in 1943.
Lettres d'amour is the only title in which Joyeux plays neither a daughter nor a member of the bourgeoisie. She's the village postmistress, and thus identifies with "the Shop" instead of "the Society". This doesn't stop her from vamping Emperor Napeoleon III (Jean Dubucourt) for a personal favor in a complicated plot about love letters gone astray. Our Miss Zelie (Joyeux) has been the postal "beard" for her glamorous married friend (Simone Renant), who's carried on an affair with a young Paris lawyer whose hairstyle earns him the nickname Hedgehog (Francois Périer).
When the affair breaks up, he falls under Zelie's charms while pretending to believe her tales of a lover, since he doesn't reveal himself as the true correspondent. It's much more acceptable, of course, for him to be sexually experienced than her, but it wouldn't have been a deal-breaker if she had been. There's also much business about learning to dance the new sensation called the quadrille, which becomes a skirmish in the class war.
Douce, once again with the heroine's nickname in the title, is the only one of these tales that's not a comedy. It begins with the teenager confessing to a priest that she loves a "domestic" and wants to run away with him, and he warns her she's proceeding on the road to Hell. The next scene underlines the prediction with a shot from inside the fireplace as she talks with her icy blonde governess (Madeleine Robinson, who bears a strong resemblance to Simone Renant of the previous film). After some misdirection, we figure out that Douce yearns for the governess' secret boyfriend (Roger Pigaut).
Under the noses of her father (Debucourt, who played Napoleon III in the previous film) and monstrous if truth-telling grandmother (Marguerite Moreno), Douce manipulates events as she wants them. It begins to look as though, having come to her senses, she's now going to maneuver herself into a sadder-but-wiser happy ending, but that wouldn't have satisfied the thirst for morality. If only she hadn't given away her virginity so willfully, she might have escaped a last-minute punishment so out-of-the-blue that it requires all her headstrong idiocy to fly into it, and which will exasperate most viewers.
Although it seems to affirm traditional morality, this is apparently the only film here that ran into censorship trouble. When the grandmother plays her annual Lady Bountiful act to properly grateful poor people -- a scene of stringent satire -- she wishes them patience and resignation. When the old poor woman asks the brash young servants what she should wish for them in return, the dashing anti-hero answers "impatience and revolt". This scene was cut shortly after the film's release and restored after the war. Impatience and revolt weren't on the Vichy menu, not even for a movie set in 1888. Is the half-built Eiffel Tower in the opening pan across a maquette city perhaps a comment on France's current decapitated status?
The only contemporary tale dates from the year after the war's end and therefore doesn't quite count as a wartime escape. Sylvie and the Phantom (1946) is the only one of these titles to see a US release on home video (way back in the VHS era) and only because it provides a starring role for Jacques Tati in his feature debut. He applies his talent for pantomime to the silent role of the phantom as his friendly see-through image wanders around his castle, visible only to the viewer. Even though he's not yet playing his celebrated Mr. Hulot, Tati's persona is already that of an old-fashioned man out of step with the bewildering modern world.
On her 16th birthday, Sylvie (Joyeux once again) is indulged by her father (Pierre Larquey) and not so much by his bossy sister (Claude Marcy) with a party. Because Sylvie's in love with the portrait of a romantic ancestor who now haunts the castle, the father hires an actor (Louis Salou) to run around in a sheet as said ghost. For complicated reasons, two young men are also hired to play the same ghost. One is a supposedly 18-year-old burglar (Périer again) avoiding the cops, and the other is a pretty 17-year-old (Jean Desailly) who's fallen for Sylvie.
This lightest of the entries works the best, being a graceful mixture of fantasy, comedy, romance and farce. No matter the differing tones and subjects, many of the same crew and cast are recycled from one film to another. The last three films are shot by Philippe Agostini, one of the busiest and most illustrious cinematographers of his time in French cinema. He would marry Joyeux and become a director while she turned to writing.
The most significant contributor to this set, aside from the director and star, is writer Jean Aurenche. He worked on all the films, and Douce marks his first of many collaborations with Pierre Bost. They became one of France's most celebrated writing teams until Francois Truffaut and other '50s-era critics of Cahiers du Cinéma, who would become the filmmakers of the French New Wave, began criticizing the previous generation's "cinema of quality". Aurenche's career weathered the fashions and he continued under the auspices of Bertrand Tavernier and others.
While I strongly support bringing these and other examples of classical French studio cinema out of the mothballs, if you will, so that we can judge them for ourselves, I must confess to sympathy for the position of Truffaut and his colleagues. These are prime examples of the "well-made" films of their time, often period pieces based in literary sources, careful and tasteful and well, slightly dull and plodding. We can well understand why the young critics were more spellbound by the Hollywood fairy tales of Alfred Hitchcock and John Ford, especially as those were dispatches from a robust, undefeated country whose traditions weren't stifling and tiresome to them.
That said, time and distance emphasize for us how French these movies are. For one thing, they're quite carefreely about characters who have sex outside marriage, an element that would never have flown under Hollywood's Production Code. Only Douce punishes anyone for this, and it's understood that the punishment is more for betraying one's class; the two "domestics" are expected to carry on illicitly, as they're clearly birds of a feather.
Autant-Lara began in the silent era, supervised French-language Buster Keaton films in Hollywood during the early talkies, and made a British film I very much want to see, The Mysterious Mr. Davis (1939), one of several movies inspired by Jenaro Prieto's classic Chilean novel The Associate.
These wartime movies with Joyeux made the director's reputation. He would go on to make better films, especially those with darker and more cynical postwar themes, and these too need to see the light of digital day. He was, alas, a filmmaker who lived too long, for he was pushing 90 when he disgraced himself in politics as a member of France's ultra-right National Front. This distasteful period throws an unfortunate light on the films he made during the French Occupation.
On this and other matters, the contextualizing notes by Nicholas Elliott deserve praise. On Chiffon, he quotes Aurenche's 1982 statement that "this film benefitted from a time when the French were humiliated. And, for the first time, one could see happy Frenchman on-screen, a colonel who was charming. Everybody was comforted by it."
Elliott observes that "in all of these films, Joyeux plays charming but driven women, prepared to break with the encumbrances of tradition and propriety to get what they want." It's only too bad that the women around her are so harsh.
As for the director's anti-Semitic statements that led to his public downfall in 1989, Elliott writes: "While these actions on the part of an embittered old man are indefensible, it is worth mentioning that his films never espoused such detestable views. On the contrary, Autant-Lara's work often embraced controversial progressive and anti-establishment positions, vigorously defending the right to abortion long before it was legalized and praising conscientious objection when young Frenchman were being called to fight the independence movement in Algeria."
All films are products of their social moments, even those that try to avoid discussing it via "escapism". In this set, we can glimpse indirect reflections, like the mirror scenes in each film, of the world just outside the frame. We also see the state of France's studio art during a dark time, as everyone determines to show their best face. In these escapist films, the idea of escape itself and the uncertainties of the fronts we display to others become more complicated than anyone would wish.

4 Things I Miss Most About My Pre-Baby Life
One balmy evening last week, I held my tiny daughter and watched from the back porch steps as my husband sat in the grass barefoot, wielding a stick and muttering frustratedly. I sighed and murmured dreamily, "You have the best life, Ryan."
"Lauren what are you even talking about right now?" He shot back. "I've just gotten home from a horribly long day at work and I'm sitting in the backyard scraping gum off my shoe with a stick. And the grass is wet."
RELATED: I Miss My Pre-Mom Self
"I know," I answered. "I'm envious." This garnered me a scathing look and an under-the-breath retort that I couldn't quite make out, but it most assuredly contained the word "loon." The truth is that I wasn't being facetious or pandering. In that moment, I absolutely meant what I said — I was a teensy bit envious of my husband's life.
Now don't get me wrong. I love my own life. I love it like crazy. I mean, I get to do the very thing that I dreamt about doing every day for six years while I sat in my tiny accountant cubicle muttering about depreciation and slowly going mad. I would not trade staying home with my daughter for anything in the world. There are some evenings though, when my husband comes traipsing in the door fresh from the train and wafting a whisper of city hustle and bustle behind him, that I close my eyes and breathe it in and get a little nostalgic.
Though exactly what things I sometimes miss about the days of yore is not what you would expect. They would certainly surprise five-years-ago me. I'm completely fine, for example, with my new early bedtime. In fact, I'm enamored of it. And I relish going to the park instead of the bar at 5 o'clock. A gummy squeal from a swinging baby beats a gin and tonic any day. But oh man, what I would not give for a good long construction-riddled commute and a bag of broccoli to eat along the way.
I used to try to avoid most office gossip, but these days? I could really use someone to talk to about the new season of "Bachelor in Paradise."
I guess I should explain. So here is an incomplete list of the things for which I sometimes pine.
1. A commute. My husband spends one hour twice a day on a train that chugs along through never-ending track construction and tunnels with absolutely zero internet service. That lucky duck. I can not even imagine having two whole hours a day where I am forced to do nothing but take my pen to the daily crossword puzzle or contemplate serious things like current events and politics. (Stop looking over my shoulder and guffawing RYAN, I know politics.)
2. Vegetables! I'm still breastfeeding and it turns out that many vegetables, both cruciferous and other, irritate my daughter's tiny digestive system. So I don't eat them. At first I was like, "That's fine because this frees up a lot of stomach room for cupcakes and pancake batter." But now I swear I would climb Mt. Everest if there was a type of broccoli growing on its peak that was OK for me to eat. I eat healthy otherwise and take vitamins to fill in the nutrient gaps, but I have literally had dreams (that's dreams – with an "S") about eating a head of cabbage like a giant apple.
3. Sick Days. I don't miss getting sick, I still do that. I did that splendidly a couple of weeks ago, in fact. (I'm pretty sure I had yellow fever.) But whereas in the past I could call the office and inform them I was much too wretched to work and then spend my day languishing in bed reading, sleeping and researching what diseases I had most likely contracted, now nothing changes. There's still a baby to be fed and changed and entertained, sniffly nose or no.
RELATED: My Baby Makes Me Brave
4. Water Cooler Conversations. I used to try to avoid most office gossip, but these days? I could really use someone to talk to about the new season of "Bachelor in Paradise." I could use any sort of grown-up interaction really ... with someone other than my husband, who is completely delightful and who I love dearly, but who does not have the same taste in quality television as me. Plus he's always saying things like, "No I will not ask the guy at Subway to wrap your lettuce wrap in cheese instead of lettuce." And, "If you know so much about politics then why did you think that POTUS was the last name of the president in the movie we watched last night?"
This entire pathetic list is just to say that, sure, there are things I remember fondly about my pre-baby days. But you know what those days did not have? A baby. A slimy, giggling, middle-of-the-night baby. And for that, I'd give up just about everything.

Yup. And that is all I have to say about (Canadian) Thanksgiving being the last time I posted. Moving right along.
So you've seen our basement slowly making it's way to the finish line. (see my last post on it here) The picture I left you with was this one:
Let's fast forward a couple of weeks after that shot to (drum roll please!) this one:
Did you jump up and down and clap your hands and squeal? No? Whyever not? Because I certainly did. Ok ok, technically I probably didn't jump up and down. And I don't tend to squeal. But I sure did clap my hands once or twice and had a perma-grin that day! (please know that I know the lighting is terr.i.ble...but...oh well)
After the sanding took place, I whipped a coat of paint on that ceiling and those walls so fast I don't think my husband had time to realize I had paint clothes on. Then a couple of evenings later the wallpaper (a last minute find at Lowe's - I was planning on stenciling, but this was way less work!) went up while Tim was at a meeting.
And then a very sweet gentleman from our church came for a day to help us lay the floor - and his wife and I got to chat and play games and keep an eye on their progress. Not only did he get the floor leveled and then laid - he kept going and finished all the trim too! (thank you THANK YOU Mr. & Mrs. Z!!) We couldn't believe it. Early the next morning I was hauling Tim out of bed to help me move the furniture back in the room so I could get my basement back. Yay!
Here are a couple of shots from the day:
Mr. Z was very patient with Hadassah and let her have a couple of swings at the floor (a vinyl plank - supposed to be waterproof in case we ever get another flood...)
And that, my friends, is beautiful progress.
I will confess that it's been this way for awhile. Since our family vacation in July, in fact. So Hadassah and friends have been enjoying the play room - and Tim's nieces came down for a visit and used the guest room for the first time. But there a few final details (art work I'm working on) to be included before I reveal it with furniture.
Can't wait to post the official B&A of our basement! In the meantime...we're loving it and so glad it's where it's at!!!
Again - a big huge thank you to those of you who helped us DIY this project!

Stan Lee, the Marvel icon as well as literary and cultural hero, is flexing his litigious muscle yet again. At ninety-five years of age, the comic book pioneer is suing Pow! Entertainment for $1 billion–that's billion with a capital B! The suit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, and it asserts that Pow!–a company Lee co-founded–misappropriated his name and likeness to sell the entity to a Chinese business interest.
The main contention of the legal action is that Pow! CEO Leo Shane Duffy and co-founder Gill Champion deceitfully attained a document in which Lee allegedly gave over exclusive rights to his identity and likeness to Pow! Entertainment. Adam Grant, Stan's attorney, filed the lawsuit stating, "Lee does not recall anyone reading the illegitimate document to him, and, due to his advanced macular degeneration he could not have read it himself."
Pow! Entertainment has responded by calling the lawsuit "preposterous," saying that Stan "clearly understood" the contract he was signing. "The complaint is completely without merit," reads the statement from Pow! Entertainment. "In particular, the notion that Mr. Lee did not knowingly grant POW! Entertainment the exclusive rights to his creative works or his identity is so preposterous that the Company has to wonder whether Mr. Lee is personally behind this lawsuit. There is no question that Mr. Lee–who along with his daughter was and remains a substantial POW! Entertainment shareholder—clearly understood the terms of the agreements he signed. The evidence, which includes Mr. Lee's subsequent statements and conduct, is overwhelming and the Company looks forward to presenting it in court."
If this all seems a bit messy, keep in mind that Stan is currently suing his former manager Jerardo Olivarez for fraud and elder abuse. The suit alleges that Jerardo sold vials of Lee's blood as well as comics stamped with Lee's blood–or "DNA Ink" as a legacy for his fans–without Stan's approval. The suit also alleges Olivarez transferred over $1.4 million from Stan's account in an apparent embezzlement scheme, among other allegations. Now, Stan put out a video recently saying that the claims of elder abuse were false, but that was apparently in relation to accusations that his daughter, J.C., and his long-time friend, Keya Morgan, were inflicting both physical and psychological abuse upon the comic-book veteran. The litigiousness thickens as Stan takes issue with anyone seeking to besmirch his daughter or his close friends. He says, "Now you people have been publishing the most hateful, harmful material about me and about my friend Keya and some others. Material which is totally incorrect, totally based on slander, totally the type of thing that I'm going to sue your a** off when I get a chance."
This is all very sad considering the fact that without Stan Lee we would not have Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four, X-Men, the Hulk, Iron Man, and many, many more cherished characters. He's also been an indefatigable ambassador for all things comic book and comic-book culture. The impact Stan has had on modern culture is impossible to quantify, but it is safe to say his cultural influence looms larger by the day. And now, in the twilight of his life, it seems there are those seeking to take advantage of a proud man with declining faculties as well as multiple health issues. Or it could perhaps be that the fighting spirit that propelled Stan Lee to the very top off his profession is still alive and kicking, and it's manifesting itself in multiple lawsuits and threats of even more lawsuits. Or maybe it's just that we live in a litigious culture and, at a certain point of fame and fortune, everybody tends to sue everybody.

Iron Fist from the Sea: Top Secret Seaborne Recce Operations (1978–1988)
By Arne Söderlund and Douw Steyn
Jonathan Ball. R230
From Cabinda in Angola to Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, 4 Reconnaissance Regiment conducted numerous clandestine seaborne raids during the Border War. They attacked strategic targets such as oil facilities, transport infrastructure and even Russian ships. All the while 4 Recce's existence and capability was largely kept secret, even within the South African Defence Force. With unparalleled access to previously top secret documents, 50 operations undertaken by 4 Recce, other Special Forces units and the South African Navy are described in Iron Fist from the Sea. The book reveals the versatility and effectiveness of this elite unit and also tells of both the successes and failures of its actions. Sometimes missions go wrong, as in Operation Argon (1985) when Captain Wynand Du Toit was captured. This fascinating work will enthrall anyone with an interest in Special Forces operations. Iron Fist from the Sea takes you right to the raging surf, to the adrenaline and fear that is seaborne raiding.

|[OT] Querstion about Class.forName() re. ClassLoaders
|Fri, 10 May 2013 16:41:04 GMT
Hi all, I apologize for being completely off-topic (this question has nothing to do with Tomcat), but I thought there may be some guys here that are experts in class loading and are able to answer my question. You probably know the method java.lang.Class.forName(String name) which returns a class object from the given name. The JavaDoc (Java 7) of this method says: Returns the Class object associated with the class or interface with the given string name. Invoking this method is equivalent to: Class.forName(className, true, currentLoader) where currentLoader denotes the defining class loader of the current class. While this description may be a bit ambiguous about what "current class" means here, the JavaDoc of Class.forName(String name, boolean initialize, ClassLoader loader) makes it clearer by stating: For example, in an instance method the expression: Class.forName("Foo") is equivalent to: Class.forName("Foo", true, this.getClass().getClassLoader()) So, shouldn't this mean that I get the same result/behavior when writing this code: public void doSomething() throws ClassNotFoundException { Class<?> clazz = Class.forName("foo.Bar"); // do something... } Instead of this one: public void doSomething() throws ClassNotFoundException { Class<?> clazz = Class.forName("foo.Bar", true, this.getClass().getClassLoader()); // do something... } or did I misunderstand something? Thanks!

Back in the day, when DOS 3.3 was the supreme operating system, Boreland's "Sidekick" was popular. I used it, found it more than helpful, and finally stopped using it, when they dragged my butt into the twentieth century miracles of multitasking operating systems.
What is a TSR? It was a terminate and stay resident program, which used a tiny amount of the precious memory allowed by DOS, and helped tremendously with dealing with batch files, directories, running programs, and just examining what was on your computer. There was even a calculator, and notepad.
Why am I posting about this? I have no idea. Maybe "Sidekick" didn't quite terminate, and stayed resident in my memory.
In Case You've Wondered
My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.
If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com
One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.
I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Eco-efficient cooling and ripening facilities for the fruit and vegetable industry
Significant improvement in the quality of the ripen fruits
The company Frío Vizcayahas successfully finished the complete rebuild of the banana ripening facilities of Frutas IRU S.A.in Mercabilbao, the wholesale market in Bilbao, Spain.
These facilities operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and offer service to 15 banana ripening chambers, where also other tropical fruits (avocados, mangoes, ...) are ripened.
Frío Vizcaya was founded in 1990. It counts on a team with high capacity to undertake, with the maximum guarantee and technology, any service related to cooling and air conditioning. The company focuses on industrial and commercial refrigeration facilities. It has a Technical Department that covers engineering, technical assistance, maintenance and building.
Technology installed in the facilities from Frutas IRU
For the control of ripening- and coldrooms, Frío Vizcaya has implemented for Frutas Iru the technology of VDH Products. This Dutch company, leading in the world, has extensive experience in the control of ripening and storage fruits and vegetables.
In this rebuild, the latest ripeningsystem PROBA 5 has been installed, which allows to regulate the entire ripening process, gas concentration, humidity, fan speed and pressure regulation, according to the requirements of Frutas IRU.
With the Proba 5 system, a significant improvement in the final quality of the product has been achieved, since the control of the fruit during the ripening process have been increased.
The installation can be operated from any computer or mobile device, receiving alarms from deviations in temperatures or technical stops.
"SUPERINVERTER" technology
The state-of-the-art cooling installation and uses SUPERINVERTER technology from Frío Vizcaya. With this technology, energy savings of 35% compared to a conventional installation can be achieved; the runout of the equipment is also reduced, which implies a greater duration.
This installation has been designed to work with low PCA refrigerants (low heating potential) and reduced gas loads. The evaporators are oversized to achieve optimum humidity for the product to be processed. They are made of stainless steel and have high pressure fans with variable EC technology (latest generation).

Professional Style: How to dress professionally without losing your sense of style22 May
Spring 2011 on a Budget15 May
I'd been looking for a nude pump for a while. I found a ton that I loved, but none that I could afford, until i found a pair in Target. All of my friends tried the last pair in the store on, and no one fit into them except me. It was like our own game of Cinderella. We took it as a sign and I of course had to get them. They are obvious knock-offs of Steve Madden's Bevv heel but for $29.99 I couldn't say no. I wear them with black mini-skirts or jeans and I absolutely love them.
Floral Skirt, Dress, or Shorts
Obviously floral is a huge spring trend. There are tons of ways you can incorporate this into your closet. I chose a tight dark floral skirt from Wet Seal to wear out at night. Other options are floral dresses you can wear with either boots or sandals, or high-waisted loose cotton shorts paired with strappy sandals.
Feather Earrings
One of my favorite aspects of the hippie 70's trend is feather accessories, but mainly feather earrings. I'm not a huge fan of clusters of feathers dangling from people's ears, I kind of think they look like they are trying to fly. But a one colored simple feather earring can ad a little bit of easiness and to an outfit.

My New Obsession, and the Future of Trend Forecasting8 May
I just signed up with Polyvore, an online fashion network that allows you to create visual representations of outfits. The site literally gives you access to everything you can dream of to create the ultimate visually appealing view of your favorite looks. I've only been a member for five days and I have already made about seven looks, or sets as the site calls them. It has quickly become my favorite past-time. Instead of watching old episodes of Gossip Girl I know create looks that I think the characters would wear. Kind of creepy I know, but if you are in to styling then this site is definitely for you.
Brand, More Than Just a Label1 May
As a public relations student I spend a good portion of my time learning about personal branding as a way to stand out to potential employers. It took me a long time to figure out what how to brand myself, which sounds a little bit like I am trying to sell myself, but I guess that it what job hunting is in a some strange way. I found this post from Dan Schawbel's blog "Personal Branding Blog" from blogger David Trahan. Trahan discusses the lessons he learned about personal branding from New York Fashion Week. As a fashion enthusiast I paid attention. Like Trahan I believe that style plays a big role in defining an image. "After all, my style is an important part of my personal brand image. It's something that can express who I am as an individual" (Trahan). In his post Trahan suggests a set of six questions to ask yourself to help develop your personal brand via fashion.
1. How do my clothes portray my personality?
I like to consider my style dressed-up casual with touched of femininity. My daily clothes mainly consist jeans, flat chestnut boots or ballet flats, some sort of sweater or cardigan, and sometimes a scarf depending on the weather. I love lace, bows, and ruffles, and I try to incorporate those styles into my wardrobe in a soft and understated way.
2. What do I think about other people's clothes?
My friends are always asking me to borrow clothes, so I take that as a compliment to my style choices. I think that if other people want to borrow my clothes that they like the clothes I own, and how I put them together to create an outfit.
3. What do other people think about my clothes?
Other people think my clothes are cute and stylish. Mainly they think I can put together an outfit well. My friends and family told me that I am their favorite shopping buddy because I give them my opinion and help them put together outfits so they don't have to do it themselves. My sister told me yesterday while shopping for an outfit for a Baptism that I was her little fashionista and that she didn't know what she would do without me.
4. Whose style of dress do I like?
My style icon is a fictional character, as sad as that is. I am absolutely obsessed with Blair Waldorf's style from Gossip Girl. She is classy and elegant while stile being modern.
5. What style of dress is appropriate for my job?
Considering I don't have a professional job yet, this question is kind of hard to answer. As a student, casual is the most appropriate style of dress, but I don't believe in wearing sweats to class unlike the majority of my classmates. As a future sales intern with Nordstrom I plan on dressing in business casual.
6. If I could wear anything to work today, what would I wear?
If I were going to a professional job today I would wear gray dress pants with a matching fitted blazer, black pumps, and jewel toned silk blouse with either a bow around the neckline or ruffles down the front. I think this outfit is professional while still being young and demonstrating my own personal style.
Given my answers to Trahan's personal branding questions I would say that my style brands me as clean, put together, classic, and feminine. At least that is how I hope I am seen. My personal brand will be exemplified through my clothes mainly because it is the first impression people people get from meeting me. It is clear that I take pride in my wardrobe and I hope that translates into my work.
Spring Upon Arrival24 Apr
Living in Eugene, Oregon doesn't always mean that I am able to take full advantage of the spring season's fashion trends. We get the occasional warm day, but most of the time it is either cold and sunny, or cold and rainy. Either way it is just plain cold, which means that the cute sundresses hanging in my closet will have to wait until I return home to the California sunshine this summer. However, even though I can't take full advantages of trends directed towards warmer climates doesn't mean I don't know about them and do what I can to incorporate them into my wardrobe.
Vibrant Colors and Color Block
Spring is always known for bright colors, but this season designers are taking their colors to a whole new level. Combining unexpected colors are making people realize "Oh, pink and orange DO go together." It is a fun and fearless trend that allows a chance for fun creativity. Part of the fun in being in being a girl is experimenting, and this trend gives us a chance to show our personality, and to play with our clothes. InStyle Magazine suggests to combine three colors maximum, and to always make sure that the most flattering color is the one closest to your face.
Sometimes in Oregon it can look a little silly to be in bold combinations of colors when it is gray and overcast outside. My advice is to take this trend with a grain of salt. Instead of mixing and matching tops and bottoms, choose one and then accessorize with bold colored jewelry. This way you can still be trendy, with out feeling uncomfortable or over-the-top.
70's Revival
An updated version of the clothes my mom wore in high school is now popular? I never though I would see the day that my mom got teary eyed over a pair of platform heels and bell-bottoms. Personally, I kind of like to pick and choose what I would wear from this trend. I am all for flowing, bohemian blouses and rompers, but I just don't understand the appeal of jumpsuits and chunky platforms. Maybe it's because I am too short to pull off a jumpsuit, or maybe it is because it reminds me too much of my mom. I think mixing pieces that follow the revival with modern pieces is a good balance. I love wearing sheer hippie inspired blouses with cut-off shorts and sandals on a sunny day, and if I'm feeling it, I may stick a flower behind my ear. However, a full-blown, 70's from head to toe outfit is just a little too much for me.
This is by far my favorite trend of the season, and I hope it sticks around for a while. I think that lace gives the right touch of femininity to any outfit. Lace tops, lace dresses, or even an accessory accented with lace automatically draws me in. I love that the lace can be sheer in some places to give a little bit of sexiness without being too exposed.
It has to be the right kind of lace though, it can't look like I made a dress out of my grandma's tablecloth, and it cant be so textured that you loose its delicacy.
The thing I love the most is the fact that I can dress it up, or dress it down. A black lace top in general already looks sexier for a night out, but add a colored bandeau, black skinny jeans, smoky eyes, and sleek pumps and you've got the epitome of sex appeal.
On the other hand, white lace dresses, soft pink blush, wavy curls and a bow headband (total Blair Waldorf style) can be absolutely adorable.
"Florals for spring. Groundbreaking." This line from film "The Devil Wears Prada" says it all. We all know that April showers bring May flowers, and that spring is the time for everything to come back to life after the long dreary winter. There is no exception when it comes to our wardrobes.
The floral trend breathes some life back into our closets every spring. This season there are two different floral trends: the soft, romantic, more country type floral, and the sleek and bold floral patterns from the East. I love the floral trend because there are so many color pallets and feels to the clothing. Prints could be pastel, bright, or deep, and can be printed on an array of materials, everything from sheer fabrics to satin. I love how you can portray any time of image with this year's floral trend. You can be cute and country with a pastel floral sundress and denim jacket, or you could be mysterious like a Japanese geisha with a satin, jewel-toned maxi dress. Either way it keeps you looking fresh and youthful.
Men's Inspired
This is the trend I hope sticks around long enough for me to take advantage of when I enter the professional world next year. I love blazers, I love dress slacks, and I love putting a feminine twist on a traditionally male dominated look of the business suit. I don't have the body type for wide legged slacks, but traditional dress pants and pumps is a classy look for any professional situation. I love when a suit tailored for a women's body is given some feminine touches. As a girly-girl I love ruffles, frills, and bows. I think that as long as it is done tasefully, both can paired with a men's inspired professional look. I also love the idea of jewel toned silk or satin shirts underneath a fitted blazer.
On a more casual note, the men's inspired trend now includes boyfriend fit jeans, cardigans, t-shirts, and oxford style shoes. Basically, anything labeled as "boyfriend fit" means that it has a looser fit. Much like in men's inspired business apparel, men's inspired causal wear should still have a touch of femininity. Accessories like decorative scarves, embellished headbands, and ballet flats add to the contract of gender mixing styles. I would say that I have adopted this trend the most in my own style, since it is the most causal and I can wear it with pretty much any weather scenario.
Obviously I didn't cover everything since trends are ever evolving. As long as the basics are understood then you can strategically keep up to date will fashion trends. Like I demonstrated in my descriptions above, not every trend is for everyone, that's why there are so many. Find what you like and what works for you. Just because it is in magazines doesn't mean you have to buy it. Take risks, have fun, and don't take it too seriously. The best thing about fashion is that it is open to interpretation.
Hello world!13 Apr
Hello! My name is Dana. I am a public relations student at the University of Oregon. Living in Eugene I don't really get too much first hand exposure to trends. I have some very trendy friends and of course am constantly online shopping and reading about fashion and lifestyle trends as well as celebrity gossip. I mean, I am a girl after all. More than then that I also try as much as I can to see the things I am learning in school being implemented in the real world to the things I love. With the importance of social media, branding and consumer relationships ever important to the success of a business it is actually pretty easy to see. The purpose of Trend Appeal is for me to be able to combine all of my passions. As a soon-to-be college graduate, my life can get a little hectic, so I will post as often as I can. I don't believe in blogging for the sake of blogging, so I promise that whatever I choose to post are things that I actually want to share with the world. Wish me luck!

And what he greatly thought, he nobly dared…
– Homer –
The Lake George Adventure Swim: The Mermaid
There couldn't have been a more beautiful morning – all slate gray and dark blue with a few low, misty clouds – sweet and alluring and quaint the way a creaking porch swing and a cup of coffee are. I practically quivered in anticipation of the journey ahead. To share this beautiful lake with some of the best people in the world… how wonderfully privileged I am!
I took a deep breath and dismissed all my expectations of the journey ahead. There were multiple obstacles to overcome with regard to this Adventure Swim.
Swim the length of Lake George in segments
Complexity #1:
The timeframe was the Fourth of July holiday weekend… with all the boats and drunks and fireworks and people.
Complexity #2:
Camping on a sailboat and not leaving the lake for the next four days.
Complexity #3:
Now, do all of that with three other people – who don't all know each other.
Honestly… it seemed like the swimming was going to be the easy part. All the logistics of supporting the swim were far more delicate.
(My companions were already my heroes. Now they are my superheroes.)
I told myself that this wasn't just about me… and I couldn't be about the mission at the expense of everybody else's comfort and safety. I determined in my mind that just being there was enough. Just being ready. Just wanting to. Just having everything I needed at hand. That's enough for any swim, right?
The adventure, whatever it would be, would exceed all of my expectations. Of that, I was sure.
The Plan:
The plan was to meet up with some friends and swim into the early morning mist toward a far and distant shore…
A swimmer. Some friends. A kayak. The Lake. …Does life get more perfect?
We followed the course line perfectly Dave and I. Because we are excellent like that. The water was still and quiet. I was wrapped in imagination and daydreams thick as my mind could make them! I fancied myself like Odysseus. Marathon swimmers had swum Lake George in just one shot before… but I was taking the long, twisted, adventuresome way around. Nobody would write my name on any list as having swum the Lake – there wouldn't be an award or merit or official time or notification in the paper on page ten after the baseball score.
But goodness… there would be a story to tell!
And this story started with a mermaid.
I didn't see her until I saw that Dave's mouth was moving and he was slightly animated. I stopped, thinking he was trying to get my attention. He wasn't, he was talking to somebody. Talking to somebody. We were a long ways from the village shore and had long ago left our companions behind. I turned to look and there, halfway up the Lake and happily swimming along the shore, was the Mermaid.
I called her the Mermaid in my mind because her face was white. Not white as in Caucasian. White as in painted white. I wondered if it was sunscreen, but it was only 7 am. That seemed excessive. Her cap was bright, bright orange and not a wisp of hair escaped it. She seemed otherworldly. And here we were, far from any beach and so I assumed she lived on the Lake. Just like a Mermaid.
I suppose Dave had been talking to her for some time, because she knew I was training to swim the Channel.
"The English Channel!?" She asked. "How far is that?"
"21 miles," I answered.
"When do you swim it?"
"Whenever the weather is best between September 1-6th."
"Wow," She said. "What's your name? I will look you up."
I answered her and she congratulated me. When we parted company – she seemed inspired. But that's not so very strange, now, is it? Everything about Lake George is inspiring. I swam off, inspired myself, glad she was a kind Mermaid… and singing Great Big Sea's The Mermaid:
"… you can search the world for pretty girls, 'til your eyes are weak and dim.
But don't go searchin' for a mermaid, son, if you don't know how to swim!"
The Crossing
We came to the most treacherous part of the swim shortly after leaving the Mermaid. A wide expanse of open water and boats flying to and fro across the bay is how I envisioned it. My kayak and I would be utterly exposed before the enemy. Already we had seen power boats out and about doing recreational activities and posing threats and danger to me and my well able, willing, super great, but seriously under-sized support crewman of one.
I took comfort in the thought that Dave would spring with herculean force from the kayak at any oncoming power boat, waving his paddle as a weapon.
It was our plan to sneak across the vast expanse before too many of them awoke…
A power boat by the mouth of the bay reminded me of Charon, the boatman who shuttled the dead to Hades. I wondered – if we were to offer to pay him – if he would pass us safely through to the other side, too. Or would it be better to leave him be and not wake the giant? What payment would be enough to escort a swimmer through the river to the Gates of Death?
…Has anybody ever swum to Hell, before?
I decided Charon didn't need my money, as much as it would be great fun to gauge his response to such a request. I decided I would, instead, take my chances. Dave and I. And the kayak, who, despite having a secret name that my brother bestowed upon it, shall only be referred to in this narrative by his proper surname: the Light One.
And so we made our way forward.
We actually crossed the expanse with little trouble. Dave kept his head on a swivel and I kept myself swimming steady and strong. I didn't sight very much and risk breaking stride to see where we were going. We would get there eventually. The few boats I did hear and see passed far away from us and gave us little grief.
When we got to the channel between Long Island and the mainland, we met quite a few people getting ready to celebrate the Fourth of July. A family was loading a boat from a dock and grilled me excitedly about my upcoming Channel swim. A couple other kayakers jaws dropped open as I swam by and Dave explained my story.
I couldn't remember if Odysseus was always explaining himself to passersby or not…
He probably never found any golf balls. And I found two that I decided to keep! When I saw the third and the fourth side by side on the bottom of the Lake, I decided golf balls weren't that exciting anymore.
I watched the rocks and the snails and lake weed pass below. I marveled at how clear the water was! So pristine… like hearing a favorite song sung with perfect pitch.
The last little leg of the first swim took us across one more bay and into our first stop. We rode the wake of several boats as we skirted across toward our destination and laughed as we did. It was actually, really fun!
The only slight hiccup with this part of the plan was that we didn't exactly know which house we were going to and I had to keep looking up to see if I could figure it out any better as time went along. It was slow going. But I did, at last, pinpoint the location (with a little help from an orange flag hanging on the flagpole) and we made our way to shore as victors.
First Swim Complete! Flawless execution! I was so excited to refuel and continue with our journey into the bold unknown.

Our resident all-things-beauty expert Everlyn Ho, artistic director of La Peau Day Spa and 2009 and 2010 winner of City Search's "Best Makeup Artist" award, has been busy working with the 2011 Miss NY Chinese beauty pageant finalists to get them ready for the pageant finale at the Mohegan Sun Casino & Resort. The few minutes I got to chat with her, she was able to impart some wisdom on the latest fall makeup trends to match your fabulous fall wardrobe.
Cinched Waists + Neon Lips: This autumn, a more feminine line with a cinched waist and flouncy skirt is in the forecast. Pair this shapely look with bright, eye-popping neon lips. Hot pink is the top choice this season. Low Décolletages + High-Arched Eyebrows: As necklines take the plunge, eyebrows are bolder and reaching towards the sky. Compliment that low neckline with a choker – that's right, they ARE back – to tie your low décolletage and your high-arched eyebrows together.
Long Skirts + Cozy Sweaters + Natural Looks: As necklines plunge, so are the hemlines this fall. Long, flowing skirts and chunky sweaters hit the runways to make this autumn the most comfortable and comforting yet. This easy elegance can be complimented by natural, earthy hues in your makeup palette.
Polka Dots + Bold Eyeliner: Pin dots are classic, but polka dots are bold! Match the boldness of your cutest polka dot dress with a strong, crisp line above your lashes. The sweet look of a natural, earthy makeup palette contrasted by the bold, heavy eyeliner is sure to wow.
Granny Plaids + Bright Colors: Time to raid your grandparents' storage unit for their vintage plaid. These high contrast plaids go well with the mustard, rust, and jade green seen all over the catwalks this season. Take the bold lash line to a new level with brightly- hued mascaras and eyeliner.
Transitioning Day to Evening Looks? Keep your working girl dress on with the heavy eyeliner's crisp edge and pair them with a nude, shiny gloss for day wear. Transition your day look to the evening by reaching for your day-glo shade of pink lipstick or gloss, and pull on your cutest peplum blazer. What do I mean by peplum, you ask? Well, peplum refers to a style of jacket, dress, short coat, or blazer that is cinched at the waist with a full, flouncy skirt. The shades for this autumn are jade green, mustard yellow hues, and neon accents.

Mr. Pankaj R Patel, President, FICCI and CMD, Zydus Cadila Healthcare will be leading a CEOs delegation to the UK from February 26-28, 2017. The delegation will accompany Shri Arun Jaitley, Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs, Govt. of India who is visiting the country to inaugurate the UK-India Year of Culture 2017 that would involve an year-long series of cultural engagements between India and the UK. These engagements are expected to further strengthen the bilateral relations between India and UK, not only in the sphere of cultural connections but also in the realm of trade and investments.
The visit of FICCI delegation to UK with the Minister aims to enhance the trade, investments and economic co-operation between the two countries. FICCI is organising two interactive roundtable meetings during this visit, one in partnership with UK India Business Council (UKIBC) and the other with Confederation of British Industry (CBI).
Several other business engagements are also planned to exchange views on enhancing business linkages between the two countries. A cultural reception will also be hosted on the eve of UK India Year of Culture launch in partnership with the Indian High Commission in the UK and British Council.
Some of the key priority areas identified by FICCI for discussions at these high level platforms include co-operation in manufacturing and advanced technology, collaborations in areas like healthcare, fintech, start-ups and tourism, attracting greater investments from the UK companies to India, and addressing India's concerns related to movement of professionals to the UK.
There is a huge scope of exchange of ideas and learnings for start-ups in both countries. The Indian Fintech sector that is being increasingly recognised for its role in bringing innovative financial solutions can take valuable lessons from the UK, which is home to one of the most advanced Fintech industries in the world.
Likewise, there is a huge opportunity for UK investors to tap the infrastructure market in India through the National Investment and Infrastructure fund (NIIF), as well as other sub-funds under it. Besides financing of infrastructure, the UK business fraternity can also support India in improving its logistics infrastructure to ensure last mile connectivity and which can give a boost to the tourism industry.
The discussions are also likely to focus on addressing concerns related to free movement of Indian professionals to the UK. There are suggestions that the UK government should consider a low-cost two-year multiple entry visas for Indian Nationals in line with similar arrangement that the UK has with China. There is also a demand to conclude a Social Security Totalisation Agreement between two countries, to avoid duplication of social security contributions for Indian workers in the UK.
Other industry leaders who are a part of FICCI business delegation to the UK include Mr Rashesh Shah, Senior Vice President, FICCI and Chairman & CEO, Edelweiss Group, Mr Malvinder Mohan Singh, Vice President, FICCI and Executive Chairman, Fortis Healthcare Ltd, Dr Jyotsna Suri, Past President, FICCI and CMD, The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group, Mr Rajan Bharti Mittal, Past President, FICCI and Vice Chairman, Bharti Enterprises Ltd, Mr YK Modi, Past President, FICCI and Executive Chairman, Great Eastern Energy Corporation Ltd and Mr Jai Shroff, Global CEO, UPL Group.

Sometimes, destiny brings in front of you people as sweet as honey, who warm up your soul with their kindness and attention. The rarer you meet them, the greater is the blessing. It's not hard to recognize them, because they stand out from the crowd. Moreover, it is sufficient to ask them what zodiacal sign they are born under in order to realize that you have a treasure in front of you.
For us to eliminate any doubt regarding the sweetest sign from the horoscope, let's ask the stars specialists. Here are their confessions!
The kindest sign of them all: you simply cannot stop from loving it!
The sweetest sign of the horoscope is characterized by naturalness, kindness, honesty and sensibility. It treats everyone with kindness, even if they do not do the same. Instead of taking revenge like others, she prefers to forget, forgive and behave as her heart dictates – with affection.
Even if you will easily notice such a person when he/she enters your life, it's always good to know that the person is born under the Cancer sign. The natives heal your wounds! You can turn to them when in dire need and you won't be disappointed. Even if they won't be able to offer the best solution, they will at least be there for you.
You can't help but love those who are born under this astrological sign. They know how to make themselves loved from the moment you meet. Their personal charm is natural, therefore no effort is required to become popular, as is the case with other people. They will improve your day just with a warm smile. And when a compliment or a good joke will sneak through, you won't even remember why you were upset.
Why is the Cancer the sweetest sign of the horoscope? Because it loves unconditionally, because it treats others with warmth, doesn't differentiate and doesn't judge. The natives have an open heart and mind, therefore they accept those around them as they are. They won't try to change them, but rather to help them evolve, find a better version of themselves. Certainly, they have a lot of positive things to learn from them. You've just got to let yourself be guided by their heartwarming words.

The sincerity of the natives is never a painful one, because they know how to present the truth so as not to hurt you. They do not try to appear superior in front of those around, but practice the equality principle. Their intuition helps them read what's on your soul and they make absolutely everything in order to treat your internal wounds. You don't even have to be a loved one in order to receive this treatment. They will warm up your soul with their behavior just because they do not stand suffering and lack of happiness.
If you want to know true love, fall in love with a LEO
Leo is the most stubborn sign. But it offers the sincerest love.
Leo is a sign which needs to feel special and unique. In a relationship, the Leo individual needs attention and admiration from the partner. This need doesn't come from arrogance or egoism, but from the wish to better himself and evolve.
Leo is also a very generous person, with a big heart and very friendly. This generosity reflects in the form of love and care.
How does a Leo show love?
Leo's generosity surpasses every measure, especially when it comes to feelings. That's why it is good to expect big gestures of love and affection, like flower bouquets and romantic dinners. If the feelings and gestures aren't taken with appreciation and many thanks, the Leo will avoid repeating this proof of his love.
About Leo's stubbornness
For us maybe it is "stubbornness", but the Leo will refer to it as "determination".
Leo is a fire sign, which means that he is a proud person, confident and rather difficult. He/she looks for stability and doesn't enjoy asking the partner for love. When the native is mad, he apologizes and asks for a bit of space in order to cool off.
The person in the Leo sign is an independent one and won't ever accept that someone guides his/her life and makes all of the decisions. Being extremely strong and motivated, she always manages to get over every obstacle, regardless of its difficulty.
What is important to know about a Leo partner:
- the love you will have with a Leo is the most beautiful love in this life;
- the Leo falls in love quite easily and is dedicated to that person;
- the Leo needs a confident, creative, loyal and spiritual person;
- The Leo looks for his half in a partner.

A few hand-selected members of Team Telecom Consulting recently attended the quarterly networking conference in Dallas. They returned to our office with an array of fresh insights and new connections to help them advance their careers.
Alex, our company's President, stated, "Those who were chosen to attend the conference have been crushing their goals in recent weeks. We always like to reward our top performers, and this event was the ideal incentive. While in Dallas, our people had the chance to interact with influential leaders from all corners of our industry. They came back to the Telecom Consulting office ready to apply what they learned to achieve even bigger wins for our national service partners."
Our team members made the most of the networking potential offered by the conference. We always take clear connecting goals into big industry functions in order to maximize the rewards. Our networking efforts benefit the most from this approach, because we know exactly whom we want to meet. We do some research on our potential connections beforehand so we know how to break the ice.
Alex also appreciates the team-building power of attending conferences and other events. "Our associates get to learn more about each other when they venture away from the office," he said. "They come back with deeper understanding of the unique talents and personalities we have under our roof."
We're looking forward to our next big team travel event. Get details on all our excursions by following Telecom Consulting on Twitter.

Remove the Mold
With our years of experience, 20th Century can effectively neutralize and remove the source of mold.
This is done by:
To limit the risks posed by mold, call 20th Century to schedule an inspection.
Stop Mold Before it Begins
Within as little as 72 hours after a flood, mold and mildew can form in carpets, upholstery and paper materials such as photos. Once mold has formed it can be difficult to remove. Mold will remain intact even after the moisture has been removed. The tiny spores are much like seeds; they can lay dormant for long periods and only begin the growth with introduction (reintroduction) of moisture. Therefore, it is essential to remove the mold and its' spores in order to prevent future problems.
Mold Testing
If the importance of the type of mold is a factor in your home or office, testing can be done to determine this. For your safety and that of the occupants all samples are handled with the assumption that the mold is toxic. This extra precaution helps prevent further unnecessary contamination. Much lie a dandelion, mold spores can move great distances with only a slight passing of air, therefore we install air scrubbers to minimize the risk of airborne mold exposure.
Mold Testing & Removal Services
With the right knowledge and the right team, you can avoid the risks associated with mold exposure. One of the most talked about forms of mold, Stachbotrys chartarum, commonly known as "black mold" has been blamed to cause symptoms of fatigue, headaches, as well as irritation to the lungs and mucous membranes. If you suspect mold contamination, it's best to have a test completed as quickly as possible.

Student Visibility Solution
We all have had a phase of trying to explore newer spheres when we were students. The only difference may be that some were naughtier than others. In today's day and age, it has become important to develop a better and faster visibility system.

|Book 1: Curious Little Thing
|Page 11: A Wrong Turn
Dark purple background.
- Panel 1
Zane is walking on the sidewalk, dragging his trunk behind him and reaching out in front of him in a cartoonish pose. He's a few feet away from a lit streetlight. There are a couple of parked cars on the street behind him, and some buildings with no lights in the windows. He strains to pull the trunk, his expression nonplussed, and thinks "What is quote quite a ways unquote? *Number of blocks* would have been more useful. Along with average town *block length*." Then, in smaller type, "... No, no. Now I'm just being greedy."
- Panel 2.
As he approaches the streetlight, his back to it as he turns to pull the trunk with both hands, he thinks "*Quiet* here."
- Panel 3.
Someone offscreen, behind him, says "Hey." Zane starts and grits his teeth.
- Panel 4.
He turns his head quickly, a startled look on his face, and sees the figures of three men, only slightly revealed by the light. He can't see their faces or any other identifying details, but they seem physically imposing. The middle one says "You look like you're not from around here."
- Panel 5.
The middle man says "You took a wrong turn, my friend." His face is still in shadow, but his teeth are slightly visible, and he looks like he's scowling.
- Panel 6.
Zane backs away from the men, his hands out in front of him and a worried look on his face. The sides of two of the mens' heads are seen in silhouette, and one seems bald and the other is wearing a hat and has a large mustache. Zane says, "Gentlemen, fair warning: my funds are *severely* limited, but you may still beat me up."

Entrepreneurship for a better future part II
By Azys Syaiful Anwar
A desperate man writes a letter to one of private television company in Indonesia asking for help to publish information that he wants to sell his kidney. The man is considered suffering hard depressive condition since he does not get a job for a long time. The man named Ahmad, not his real name, has a reason to do this risky act. He wants to get some money that he can use to make his family happy.
This man had left his wife and child for some years to get a job in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. Since there are many difficulties in looking for job, he never gets one. Jakarta which is a metropolis city of Indonesia is always being a destination for some job seekers all around Indonesia. However, this city also offers many problems because there are many inhabitants living here. Many new comers of Jakarta trapped in poverty and cannot go back to their homeland.
Poverty which also becomes Ahmad's problem enforces Ahmad and turns his mentality down. He finally finds an irrational idea to sell his kidney for some money. However, he meets difficulties to publish his desire and then he decides to write to a private television institution. He wants to find someone who needs his kidney.
Regarding to Ahmad's problem, we can see that some people may still has mindset that becoming an employee is the only financial problem solver. Ahmad even does not find other ways out besides selling his kidney. If he really sells his kidney, will he really get better life? One of main speaker of the interactive talk show TV program with Ahmad said that someone who is rarely gets much money usually has big desire to spend those money for shopping rather than manages those money for something profitable, for example starting a business.
A doctor who is also attends the talk show program tells that transferring kidney is not easy procedure. The process of legal kidney transfer is very complex and expensive. Besides, losing the kidney will also affect the health condition of a person. How if Ahmad gets more money while he will also get health problem? Will his family be happy for that? I think Ahmad need to consider this.
This problem also can be a proof that we really need to obtain entrepreneurship and leadership to face the real life. Hopefully, government will consider providing some programs that educate people to be independent, skillful and having Entrepreneurship mindset. Thus, people will have ability and bravery to make their own business and be able to get proper life.
