For Students
I would be happy to talk to you if you need my help in your course. While I have limited time for students I always try to find space in the schedule to set an appointment to solve your doubts. Despite that, never come without scheduling through an e-mail, as the most likely situation is that you will find me busy and you will lose the trip.

D.I.D. Professional Line chain kit (chain+front/rear sprockets)
- You can trust the expertise of the worldwide OEM supplier. Louis sells the original kit (comprising chain + front/rear sprockets) from the Japanese manufacturer Daido Corp. and its authorised German importer. Don't settle for anything less.
- Top quality for the most demanding conditions. We supply what is surely the most widely used motorbike chain in the world, produced by state-of-the-art manufacturing methods from top-quality components. Extremely long life and noticeably smoother running will convince you, as they have many of the top motorcycle racers.
- D.I.D chain kits come with front and rear sprockets from brand-name OEMs Sunstar, ESJOT and JT. Milled sprockets made of high-grade steel guarantee long service life. Please note, however, that any rubber silencer pads on original sprockets are no longer required.
- On 500cc or larger motorcycle models, only X-ring chains with gold-plated outer plates are used
The next generation of chains from D.I.D is the result of years of development work in the world of racing, with the focus on rigidity. The rigidity of a chain means its ability to resist deformation and stretching. Higher rigidity means softer handling, less power loss and faster reaction of the chain.
- the best D.I.D chain available today in terms of rigidity
(10% higher than its predecessor, the ZVM2)
- Highest wear resistance index to date
- The D.I.D X-ring design halves the power loss due to friction compared to an O-ring chain
- Higher rigidity (7% higher than its predecessor, the VM)
- Best value for money of all the D.I.D chains
Service life is far superior to the VM
- D.I.D® chains in the OEM kits are always supplied in accordance with the specifications of the vehicle manufacturer or Daido Corp. Go to "Further product info" or refer to the D.I.D catalogue to see whether the chain kit comes with an endless chain or a chain with rivet or clip connecting link.
- The catalogue page has an "S" (standing for "connecting link") column indicating the type of chain, as follows: E = endless chain, N = chain with rivet-type connecting link and C = chain with clip connecting link.
- As a general rule we recommend that, for your own safety, endless chains should not be modified prior to fitting. If, however, this would involve dismantling the swing arm and you, or the workshop, wish to avoid this operation, you can also order a suitable connecting link from us. You will find a range of links if you enter the search term "Connecting link" or check in the latest Louis catalogue. You should take into account any information from the chain manufacturer concerning the warranty. You can find this information in the installation instructions supplied with the chain kit.
- The secret behind the astonishing performance of these chains is D.I.D's exclusive pin treatment process. This special
treatment produces an extremely hard surface layer, while maintaining a softer inner core. These chains combine extreme impact resistance with efficient shock absorption. In addition, they are well protected against rust.
- Modern motorbikes place increasingly high demands on the drive components. New, more powerful machines and the requirement for materials to have a longer service life demand a new solution - and it is provided by D.I.D X-ring chains. The specially shaped sealing rings significantly alter the friction area of the side plates. At the same time, doubling the number of sealing points from 2 to 4 has the effect of safeguarding far more effectively against lubricant loss, and also provides optimum protection against dirt.
All this results in an extremely long service life This chain can effortlessly withstand major stresses and strains, and also offers noticeably smoother running.

In the meantime we have been fixing details on the truck, getting our uniforms ready, and submitting applications to Arlington and Fairfax county as well.
We received a call last Tuesday from one of our Antojitos de tu Pais customers who knew our truck was here. She asked us if we wanted to bring our truck to a private event she was hosting at her house on Thursday (yes, two days after the phone call!). We were up for the challenge, and of course we could use the practice and exposure. This was our very first time using our truck, so it was a very exciting moment for us.
Thursday's trial run was a huge success, everyone loved our arepas and we had the opportunity to work out some kinks, polish our recipes, and
We are very anxious to get going and spread the #arepalove! Stay tuned -- it won't be too much longer!

Kingston University's Imogen Hedges remembers her grandmothers hand-knitted sweaters and how they'd get thrown out once they no longer fit her. She's designed an alternative to throwing those sweaters out using a most unusual contraption she built from a bicycle. It's called the "Un-Knitting Machine," and it is one of the most clever uses of pedal power we have ever seen. Check out the video below for a full explanation and demonstratino of how it works:

Fido and his furry friends don't like fireworks. Turns out, most pets find the flaming, colorful noisemakers completely terrifying.
We had heard that animals didn't seem to like all of the ruckus of fourth of July celebrations, but it turns out that city pets risk injury — so much so that the phenomenon has been given a special name: high-rise syndrome.
Most commonly displayed in cats, high-rise syndrome is when unattended animals are left in front of an open window. They are either distracted by outdoor sights (birds, fireworks, etc.), or a loud noise startles them causing them to jump out of the window.
"Most pets when they are brought inside apartments do not walk up the steps into the building, which means that they have no perception of how high up they really are. If there is an open window cats will often misjudge the height and just jump out," Gail Buchwald, senior vice president of the adoption center at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, told the Voice.
Pets fare even worse when brought outdoors for the celebration, as large crowds, noise, and sporadic activity can cause anxiety. Buchwald says that most pet owners have a hard time reading signs of distress in their animals because they're distracted by celebratory activities. Clear signs your pet is not okay include heavy breathing and excessive drooling.
And while there are no hard statistics on the number of animals that go missing in the city each year on the fourth, it is typically thought of as the day the highest number of animals are lost.
"We've never had a fourth of July where someone wasn't calling in distress because their pet had gone missing," said Buchwald.
So what are some tips on how to enjoy your day of independence and keep your pets happy?
Leave them at home
It's safest for your animals if you leave
them out of any outdoor celebrations. Make sure to leave them plenty of food and water, and to keep your home well-ventilated. This will create a calming atmosphere in your absence.
Get a window screen
If you plan to stay at home to watch the
fireworks, make sure you have a screen to protect your pet from jumping through the window when they hear a loud noise.
Stay on the lookout
You don't just have to watch out during Fourth festivities but also, the aftermath. After the celebration all kinds of plastic, noisemakers, and leftover sparklers can be left on the ground — all of which are dangerous to animals.
Get an ID
Before you head out to a barbecue, make sure your pet has on a collar with your contact information. Even better, make sure they have a micro-chip. All pets are scanned when they're brought into shelters and this could save you a lot of time and worry.

The Federal Communications Commission released the text of its proposal to undo the Obama-era net neutrality rules. The rules classify internet service providers as "common carriers", thus bringing ISPs within the FCC's jurisdiction. The rules also outlaw blocking, throttling and paid prioritization of site traffic.
Comments are due to the Commission by August 17th--they even seek comment on whether such rules are necessary--which, of course, the Commission settled on two years ago when it pulled together countless comments from members of the public who said, "yes--they are necessary"--So it's like we're just going around and around--net neutrality is the gift that keeps on giving--for lobbyists, that is.
President Trump released his fiscal year 2018 budget request last week, which calls for numerous cuts to entitlement programs, as well as education. However, the budget calls for $228 million to modernize the federal government's IT--or phase out clunkier technologies in favor of technologies that are more secure and efficient. That $228 million amount is significantly less than the $3.1 billion called for by the Obama administration. Billy Mitchell covers this story in FedScoop.
Apple reported last week that the federal government's requests for user data skyrocketed in the second half of 2016 to almost double what it was in the first half of the year. Apple reports on the number of requests using ranges instead of revealing the exact number of data requests. In the first half of 2016, the federal government made between 2,750 and 2,999 data requests. However, during the second half of 2016 the number of requests jumped to between 5,750 and 5,999. Joe Uchill reports in the Hill.
Private drone users will no longer need to register their drones with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This is following a DC Circuit Court of Appeals decision to overturn the rules. The court held that the rules violated another statute that precluded the FAA from promulgating rules pertaining to model aircraft. Tim Wright covers this in Air & Space.
The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the American Civil Liberties Union and Wikimedia Foundation can indeed pursue a lawsuit the two parties brought against the National Security Agency. They argue that the NSA violated Wikimedia's First and Fourth Amendment rights when the agency tapped into Wikimedia's backbone network because Wikimedia has such a large footprint, tapping into just a part of it can have constitutional implications. Adi Robertson has the story in The Verge.
Finally, big box retailer Target has settled with 47 states in connection with a widespread data breach in 2015 in which hackers obtained the credit card information of millions of customers. The settlement amount was $18.5 million and is being distributed based on each state's size.Wyoming, Wisconsin and Alabama don't appear to be part of the settlement. The terms of the settlement also require Target to separate cardholder data from the rest of its computer network, as well as undergo an independent assessment of its data security practices. Rachel Abrams has the story in The New York Times.

Federal Trade Commission Privacy Law & Policy by Chris Jay Hoofnagle
The Republican-controlled FCC -- which is, by the way, still sitting with only 3 of its 5 Commission seats filled -- moved to roll back the Obama-era net neutrality rules last week. The new NPRM released Thursday is ostensibly designed to solicit comments it will actually be considering. But policy experts see this as just an administrative formality FCC Chair Ajit Pai needs to adhere to before doing what he has already made clear he is going to do anyway: eviscerate the net neutrality rules. FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn, a Democrat, called the NPRM a "political rush job". Mariam Baksh has additional coverage in Morning Consult.
The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that plaintiffs can no longer "forum shop" -- a practice by which plaintiffs look to pursue their case in a venue that will be most favorable to them -- which, for patent trolls, is a jurisdiction like the Eastern District of Texas which often rules in favor of patent trolls. In TC Heartland v. Kraft, the decision the Supreme Court reversed on Monday, the lower court had ruled that plaintiffs could bring a lawsuit anywhere the companies conduct business. Now, as a result of the Supreme Court's reversal of the lower court's decision, the standard will now limit plaintiffs to bringing suit where the company is incorporated. The outcome of this case has significant implications for so-called patent trolls that bring often frivolous lawsuits against companies for violating patents they hold but don't use to produce anything--they just profit from suing companies that violate them. Ali Breland covers this for the Hill.
Tennessee Republican Representative Marsha Blackburn introduced a bill Friday that would require both broadband providers as well as internet companies to obtain consent from consumers before selling their internet data. In a set of FCC privacy rules President Trump nullified last month, only broadband providers were required to obtain such consent. Ali Breland has this story as well in the Hill.
Last week, Democratic members of the House Science committee wrote a letter to president Trump urging him to appoint a Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). The lawmakers weighted in after Politico published an article revealing the fact that Trump's staffers occasionally pass fake science news to the president to sway him on certain issues -- it's all part of these little games they like to play jockeying for position within the White House. "We are concerned about the process by which you receive information," the letter begins. "Disseminating stories from dubious sources has been a recurring issue with your administration ... Until the OSTP is adequately staffed and the director position filled by a qualified, objective scientist who understands the difference between alternative news peddled on alt-right websites and legitimate well-vetted scientific facts, we fear that you will continue to be vulnerable to misinformation and fake news." Next.gov has the full story.
Congress has responded to the recent ransomware attack that affected computers around the world with a new bill that would require the federal government to report security flaws much sooner so that companies like Microsoft will have a chance to fix them before they are exploited. Jeremy Kirk outlines the the bipartisan PATCH Act at Bankinfosecurity.com.
Finally, The European Union has slapped Facebook with a $122 million fine over the social media company's purchase of WhatsApp. Back in 2014, Facebook indicated in its filing that it wouldn't be able to reliably link WhatsApp and Facebook accounts--and then last year it did just that. So the European Commission cried foul. Ali Breland reports in the Hill.
Matt Cagle is a Policy Attorney for Technology and Civil Liberties at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Matt attended law school at Stanford and has a BA in Latin American Studies and Political Science from the University of Arizona. Before joining the ACLU as a Policy Attorney, Matt worked as an associate with BlurryEdge Strategies, a San Francisco-based law practice advising startups on privacy issues.

The Philipp K. Dick Collection by Phillip K. Dick
A massive hack infected hundreds of thousands Microsoft Windows-based computers, disabling several large hospitals in the UK, requiring them to turn away some patients, as well as Fedex, Telefonica, and several other institutions. The ransomware, which is a program called "WannaCry", encrypts files so users can't access them and then demands payment, in the form of the digital currency known as Bitcoin, from victims to decrypt their files. WannaCry spread around the world beginning on Friday, although it did so to a lesser degree in other countries than it was felt in the UK. An engineer that goes by the screen name "Malware Tech" found a kill switch in the ransomware. The ransomware relies on infected computers not being able to access a particular domain name. Since the domain name wasn't registered, no computers could access it. Therefore Malware simply registered the domain, stopping it from spreading to additional computers.
The U.S. was barely affected by the cyberattack, but researchers are on the lookout for copycats. Microsoft issued a statement saying the cyberattack should be a wake up call for governments as the hack was executed using stolen government data. U.S. Cyber Command head Admiral Mike Rodgers told the Senate Armed Services Committee just last Tuesday that Congress needed to provide clearer guidance as to how his agency should fight cyberattacks. Rogers also told the Senate panel that his agency witnessed Russian intrusions into French systems in the midst of the French election last week. On Thursday, President Trump had signed an executive order authorizing a sweeping review of all federal agencies to identify the holes that hackers have been exploiting. The ransomware hack happened on Friday.
The Hill reports the ransomware attack has made the perpetrators over $57,000 worth of bitcoins thus far.
A federal judge on Monday of this week ordered Uber to turn over some 14,000 documents to Waymo--the self-driving company owned by Google--which Waymo says were stolen by a former Google engineer by the name of Anthony Levandowski. The Waymo lawsuit alleges that Levandowski left Google to start a self-driving truck company called Otto, taking the documents with him. Then Uber subsequently acquired Otto, taking the documents with it. Waymo also announced a new collaboration with Lyft on Monday of this week. Ali Breland has the story in The Hill.
Finally, A number of policymakers are concerned about the ways in which Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) might begin to surveil immigrants or develop a database to track immigrants for deportation. But in an exclusive report for NPR, George Joseph outlined specific ways in which ICE is already using databases maintained by local law enforcement to accomplish the same ends.
Remember last week's John Oliver bit criticizing FCC Chairman Ajit Pai's plan to scale back the net neutrality rules? The one where Oliver urged viewers to go to a site the show created called gofccyourself.com, which redirected to the FCC's comments section, and then the comments section crashed? Well the incident left FCC Chairman Pai scrambling to contain his agency's embarrassment, and there was some confusion as to whether the site crashed because of the influx of comments provoked by the show, or by some kind of contemporaneous hack designed to prevent comments from being submitted. Well, the FCC maintains that it was indeed a hack and that the crash wasn't caused by John Oliver's segment. Democrats are saying, "yeah right"-- Senators Ron Wyden and Brian Schatz wrote Chairman Pai saying cyberattacks are a very serious matter and urging the agency to turn over any evidence of a cyberattack happening a few minutes after Oliver's segment. No word yet. But Oliver again this past Sunday rallied his viewers to submit comments. Harper Neidig has more in The Hill.

New America's Education Policy Program
New Guidance on Using the Every Student Succeeds Act to Support Early Learning by Shayna Cook (New America, 2016)
Lower Ed: The Troubling Rise of For-Profit Colleges in the New Economy by Tressie McMillan Cottom
Sinclair is acquiring Tribune broadcasting, the companies announced on Monday, for a cool $3.9 billion. Tribune owns 42 tv stations in 33 markets, WGN, digital multicast network Antenna TV, minority stakes in the TV Food Network and CareerBuilder, and a variety of real estate assets, according to the companies' press release. Even after the Republican controlled FCC threw it a bone at its last open meeting by reinstating the UHF discount, which lets broadcasters half the size of the audience their UHF stations reach, thereby enabling broadcast companies to own more stations, Sinclair may still need to divest some its stations to fall under the 39 percent cap on the national audience. Sinclair is Chaired by David Smith--a key supporter of Donald Trump.
President Trump signed an executive order establishing a new American Technology Council which will be tasked with coming up with ways to transform and modernize the federal government. It's not clear yet which companies will participate, but Tony Romm at Recode notes that Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft have huddled with the administration in the past. Mike Allen at Axios reported the creation of the Council was spearheaded by Trump advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner and that the council will hold a summit in June to map out a plan for the duration of the Trump administration.
Two lawmakers also created a bi-partisan Digital Trade Caucus last week which is aimed at protecting cross-border digital trade from protectionism. Minnesota Republican Erik Paulsen and Washington Democrat Suzan DelBene made the announcement last week.
The Department of Justice has announced a criminal investigation into Uber. The New York Times reported in March that the company was using a software called Greyball to circumvent local authorities in areas where Uber hasn't been approved yet. Now a grand jury in Northern California has subpoenaed documents from Uber related to the matter. Dan Levine has the story in Reuters.
The State Department wants to intensify its scrutiny of visa applicants. The agency published a document last week, in line with the Trump administration's efforts to subject visa applicants to "extreme vetting", which outlines plans to require visa applicants to provide five years worth of their social media handles, phone numbers and email addresses. The public will have a chance to comment on the new proposed rules until May 18th. Yaganeh Torbati and Mica Rosenberg report in Reuters.
The reined-in National Security Agency still collected 151 million phone records in 2016. Charlie Savage reports in the New York Times that the NSA previously collected billions of phone records per day, according to a transparency report released last week.
The Department of Homeland Security warned of an emerging espionage campaign led by Chinese hackers. The hacker group APT10 or MenuPass group has targeted construction, aerospace, engineering and telecom companies in the past, but security analysts are now saying they found evidence that the group could now be working in tandem with the Chinese government to collect military secrets from the United States. Chris Bing has the story in CyberScoop.
Elon Musk's SpaceX boosted a classified U.S. Spy Satellite into orbit on Monday May 1st at 7:14AM. The payload is a National Reconnaissance Office satellite. SpaceX is trying to ramp up its commercial space flight program following an explosion last September that halted it. However, last week's launch was SpaceX's 4th successful launch since January, and it was flawless. Andy Pasztor reports in the Wall Street Journal.
Finally, a report by an engineer at Facebook found the company rejects code submitted by female engineers at a rate that is 35% higher than their male counterparts. Facebook's most recent diversity report shows women comprise just 17% of Facebook's technical workforce. Deepa Seetharaman reports in the Wall Street Journal.

Wisdom from the Robbert Barrons: Enduring Business Lessons from Rockefeller, Morgan, and the First Industrialists by George David Smith and Frederick Dalzell
The FCC's 2015 net neutrality rules are now in the hands of the Republican majority at the FCC. The DC Circuit upheld the rules on Monday by declining to review the 3-judge panel that found that the FCC's net neutrality rules are legally sound. This opens the door for a possible Supreme Court appeal. However, as policy expert Gigi Sohn noted in a tweet, the Supreme Court is unlikely to hear the case since the FCC has its own plans. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai announced last week that the FCC would vote on a proposal at the May Open Meeting to reverse the Obama-era net neutrality rules. The announcement has been met with resistance from Democrats as well as public interest advocates who say undoing the net neutrality rules would favor a handful of large internet service providers at the expense of everyone else. Conservatives see the net neutrality rules--which classified broadband internet service providers as so-called common carriers, thus bringing them under the FCC's jurisdiction--as a power grab over the internet orchestrated by Democrats who were more aligned with internet-based content producers such as Netflix. Harper Neidig reports in the Hill.
In a victory for Hollywood and other holders of large copyrights, the House passed a bill that would make the Register of Copyrights a presidential appointment, rather than someone who is appointed by the Librarian of Congress. The bill comes after current Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, who was appointed by Obama, demoted the Register of Copyrights--Maria Pallante--who was seen as someone who sided with large content companies. The bill passed the House on a vote of 378-48.
In an attempt to bury fake news, Google has rewritten its search algorithm. The 10,000+ Google staffers who rate content will now begin to flag, inappropriate, misleading, false and low quality content.
A new Verizon report has found an uptick in cyber breaches that appear to be related to espionage. Of the 2,000 breaches Verizon found, 300 were tied to espionage. Morgan Chalfant has more in the Hill.
Facebook reported a 9 percent increase in government data requests in the second half of 2016 compared to the first half of that year. About half of the data requests by U.S. government officials included a non-disclosure agreement requiring Facebook to refrain from telling its users that the government requested information about them. Sarah Perez has the story in TechCrunch.
Finally, a federal judge in New York has cleared the way for the NYPD to use police body cameras. Public interest lawyers had attempted to prevent the roll-out of the body cams. Ashley Southall at The New York Times reports that one group -- the Center for Constitutional Rights -- had argued that the draft policy was too unclear as to how the NYPD planned to use, retrieve and store the footage obtained from the body cams.

"It's hard to believe the festival that started out in the swinging sixties as a ceilidh in a shed is now one of the longest-running and well-regarded folk events in the country." So states the programme of this, Bromyard's 50th Folk Festival. From a ceilidh in a shed to a comprehensive programme of events over several venues in a well-established site at the town's football club, the festival at Bromyard has certainly come a long way.
I hadn't realised how beautiful Herefordshire is, and although there is some evidence of a town that has struggled (closed pubs etc) this is a lovely part of the world to spend some time in. The festival is important to the town, and funny men in green trousers and larger-than-life floral hats, along with other folkies of all ages and dress codes, are warmly welcomed (albeit in a slightly 'quirky' fashion in places like The Falcon – you have been warned!).
With a stated focus on traditional music, song and dance (though with some fairly radical departures), there was a full and varied programme taking place in different spaces around the site and in the town. Not all the spaces were big, and I liked the diverse atmospheres that this created. The Song House, for example, was a tiny tent holding about 50 people, with no PA, and was the venue for some lovely intimate and informal performances – a good alternative to the bigger main stage concerts for those who like their music with more of a folk club feel. We saw Peter & Barbara Snape, Dave Webber & Anni Fentiman, JIB and Jeff Warner here, all of whom impressed with their easy repartee with the audience and top notch singing.
The Ceilidh House was the setting for much dancing and different workshops, and we caught part of a Tuneworks Ceilidh Tunes workshop here, where lots of participants with all sorts of instruments were learning about the importance of knowing how to distinguish the different tune types, how long each needs to be for dancing, and all sorts of other dancing related matters. The tunes used for this and other Tuneworks workshops were available for participants to download from their website, with written notation and handy MP3s to listen to – a great idea.
The Club Stage was a marquee, smaller than the main stage but big enough to get a decent crowd in. It had good sound, the chance for some rapport with the audience, and was the perfect place for some great concerts. Rowan Piggott particularly impressed here in a set with guitarist Felix Miller – his warm way with an audience and natural fiddle and singing style making him instantly likeable. Rowan was last year's winner of Bromyard's Future Of Young Folk award, and I am sure we haven't seen the last of him. The Club Stage was also the venue for one of my favourite gigs of the weekend – the Final Song. Now with something of a legendary status, this informal concert found Jim Mageean, Graeme Knights, Dave & Anni, JIB and Cohen Braithewaite-Kilcoyne lined up on stage taking turns to lead the audience in some great, join-in-able singing. It was great; it just didn't last long enough!
The Wye Valley Brewery Stage was the venue for the bigger concerts and we saw a great array of artists here: Georgia Lewis, Jamie Smith's Mabon, Daoiri Farrell, Jimmy Aldridge & Sid Goldsmith, Patterson Alden Dashwood, Le Vent Du Nord, Northern Company, Cosmotheka, Ímar, The Mighty Doonans – the list was long and impressive. In such a full programme of artists, it is often difficult to pick highlights, but for me this year, it wasn't. Three acts stood out as exceptional.
Les Barker was his inimitable self and went down a storm, as ever. Whenever Les was about to perform you could see the crowd swelling in numbers substantially. He did a couple of spots over the weekend and thrilled the audiences with his 'unique' poems such as Cosmo The Fairly Accurate Knifethrower, Nobody Hugs A Hedgehog, Déjà Vu, My Bag For Life Has just Died and, of course, his iconic Have You Got Any News Of The Iceberg? He is one of only a few people who has the audience in the palm of his hand before he even says a word – an enviable place to be, and he deserves every bit of it.
Another act who could lay claim to this trait is Granny's Attic. Everyone loves them, everyone is talking about them, and it feels like the hopes of previous generations of English traditional musicians and singers are pinned on them for the future. I lost count of how many times over the weekend people referred to them as "the new generation" or "the future" and, having seen them, I can see why. They play good, solid traditional tunes and songs, and play them well. They have two strong lead singers with an ear for good songs. And they can communicate with the audience in a way that many younger performers struggle to do. What's not to like?
And perhaps worth travelling all the way to Herefordshire to see was Crows! The reformed and slightly altered line-up of Mick Ryan, James Patterson, Dave Bordewey and Paul Downes has been making something of a come-back in recent months, and I was eager to see them. After an opening set from an act that was, to these ears, a bit out of place with their flashy stage set and rocked up instrumentation, the boys came on stage and Mick said: "Let's play some folk music then, shall we." Music to my ears! And they did. They played song after excellent song, with harmonies to die for and sensitive and appropriate accompaniment - The Factory Girl, a version of The Creel, You Rambling Boys Of Pleasure, Bold Wolfe, and the absolutely fantastic Charlotte Town (Goodbye Liza Jane).
Their second set was on Sunday morning. There are not many acts that can get me out of bed in time for an 11am concert, but I wasn't going to miss a bit of this. What makes them really special is the blending of Mick and James' voices up front; you would go a long, long way to find two better. Dave's harmonies are superb and he adds fiddle and mandola. And Paul Downes is an absolute magician of a musician who, although not part of Crows until recently, blends in perfectly. In a recent interview with The Living Tradition, Mick said: "We don't expect to rival the bright young things of today..." I think they do. This is proper music by four masters of the folk scene. If you can, go see them.
One person who you are not going to get the chance to see though is Dr Sunshine (AKA Dave Hunt). After over 40 years entertaining children (including myself) at festivals all over the country, he has decided that Bromyard this year will be his last festival with Sunshine Arts. (He has been booked for every Bromyard for the last 40 years – not many artists can lay claim to that!) I found it strangely emotional seeing him work his magic with the children for the last time. It was particularly fun watching him teach a group of kids some Border Morris – not everyone would be brave enough to give kids a pile of sticks and tell them to hit each other with them! He will be difficult to replace, impossible probably, and many of us owe him a huge debt of gratitude for introducing us to the folk arts at an early age.
At a festival like Bromyard, there is always going to be things in the programme you don't like. I would question the choice of some of the artists who were booked to perform over the weekend; some that perhaps stretch the definition of 'folk' a bit too far. But in general, Bromyard is one of the festivals that sticks to the more traditional end of things and, for me, that is one of its major attractions. It is big enough to give lots of variation and choice; small enough to feel intimate and friendly; folky enough to be a proper folk festival; daring enough to try new things. They've had 50 years to get a formula that works, and it does. Bring on the next 50!

November 28, 2017 – Rolling Meadows, IL – Panasonic wins Global Technology Award from Global SMT and Packing for its new NPM-W2S placement solution at Productronica on November 15 in Germany. The NPM-W2S is the next stage in the evolution of the award-winning NPM-series and is geared for manufacturers who value setup and changeover time over speed.
"The NPM-W2S was designed to solve manufacturer's need to tighten control of their work in process, minimize changeover, and expand feeder capacity while accommodating smaller-lot sizes in a cost-effective manner," said Shawn Robinson, Sr. Product Marketing Manager, Panasonic System Solutions Company of North America – Process Automation. "The solution addresses these challenges as well as expanding standard component range from 03015mm microchips to massive 100x90mm components and connectors nearly 6" long (150mm) and up to 30mm tall."
The NPM-W2S delivers 100N insertion force for greater odd-form capability and increases pin-through-hole device imaging capability via optional Pin-in-Paste Illumination. Equipped with the Industry's only and award-winning multi-recognition camera, it enables component alignment, defect inspection, chip thickness, and 3D co-planarity inspection in a single pass to promote high productivity and quality. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Pre-Pickup Inspection features allow unique recognition of tray-fed parts from barcodes, lines, and polarity marks to determine proper pickup angles—even if parts are fed incorrectly.
Single- and dual-lane mode functionality promote the capability to process extremely long LED panels nearly 4 feet in length (1,200mm). It can automatically convert modes to dual-lane "shared", or ultra-productive "hybrid" mode. The NPM-W2S offers features to enhance efficiency such as automated board support pin placement, self-aligning feeder cart changeover, intelligent feeder anywhere, and 2D-coded nozzle anywhere. It further enhances production quality with thermal expansion compensation, board warp mapping, a 20- or 40-position direct pick tray tower, and closed-loop component monitoring with material verification, control and trace.
As always, manufacturers can scale production lines from low to high volume depending on production needs while conserving investments until production or technology requirements mandate. OEMs and EMS providers can reconfigure the machine heads in minutes—maximizing flexibility, accelerating ROI, and protecting investments. The NPM-W2S also incorporates existing CM Series Panasonic feeders and nozzles to minimize capital investment and reduce inventory expense.

Has a loved one recently been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's disease?
Here's what you need to know now:
STEP ONE: If you're concerned as to whether or not the individual in question is capable of making rational, clear-headed decisions about their health care, daily living decisions or placement decisions, you first need to determine if they've executed a Health Care POA (Power of Attorney). This document allows an individual to decide for his or her self who can serve as their agent in handling their medical related issues if and when they are unable to do so on their own. This document should not be confused with a General Power of Attorney which addresses banking and other transactional business (and is discussed in other posts on this blog). If your loved one has not executed a Health Care POA, proceed to STEP TWO. If they have, please congratulate them on being prepared as they've just saved themselves (and you) a major hassle. Only proceed to STEP TWO if the person they nominated is unable or unwilling to serve or you have reason to believe they are taking advantage of their powers.
STEP TWO: Before approaching the Probate Court or your attorney to begin the Guardianship process, it's first wise to consult with the loved ones medical provider and personal attorney to determine whether or not it's too late to have them execute a Health Care POA. Remember, a diagnosis doesn't mean the person is already fully incapacitated and these professionals can help determine if costly court intervention can be avoided by having a capacity examination and simultaneously executing documents whereby the loved one makes their own choice as to who should make their decisions in the future. This can also prove useful if the loved one needs to revoke a previously executed document because the person they named (their agent) is no longer acting in their best interest.
STEP THREE: Often times referred to as and confused with a "conservatorship," guardianship is needed when a someone who is incapacitated due to age or disability has not named a Health Care Power of Attorney to address their health care needs. If your loved one didn't take this step or is no longer able to do so, you must petition the court for guardianship. This process often takes several months and requires that two (2) examiners find the person is no longer able to make their own decisions. Following that ruling, the court will then transfer duties such as daily medical care, living arrangements, and medical decision-making to the petitioner. This process can be timely and in some cases costly, especially if family members disagree as to whether or not a guardianship is necessary or disagree as to who should be making such decisions.
Here are a few common questions we are asked about the process:
The following is a list of possible duties of a guardian:
To the extent possible, the guardian should seek feedback from the ward when making these decisions.
If you need further information related to guardianships, please refer to our blog or contact our office to set up an office or phone consultation. We have a dedicated team of attorneys who work regularly in this area and can help guide you through this difficult process.

Colin Michael Fishwick was a teacher and old colleague of John Stape's. In 2010, John "borrowed" Colin's identity so that he could teach, as he had left the profession in disgrace after having an affair with pupil Rosie Webster and later kidnapping her. Using Colin's name set in motion a sequence of events which led to John's downfall and Colin's death.
Colin's parents were John and Joy Fishwick. He was born two weeks late and had claustrophobia later in life. When looking back on Colin's life, Joy would later recall that Colin had no friends in school and that he was closest to her, but that this changed when he graduated with an Honours degree in teaching and that by 2010 he was barely in contact with her. According to neighbour Clifford, Colin was a terrible son who would probably only regain contact to collect his inheritance in the event of Joy's death.
Colin's love life was equally disastrous. He had an affair with a woman whose husband, Ben Fielding, was in prison for assaulting a policeman. When he heard in April 2010 that Ben was about to be released, Colin, fearing that Ben would hunt him down, immediately made plans to uproot and move to Canada, explaining to friends that he wanted a fresh start as he hated his job. At a leaving party, Colin met up with his old colleague John Stape and enjoyed sticking the knife in over John not being able to get a teaching job because of his past. Unbeknown to Colin, John stole some documents from his office and used his identity to apply for a teaching position at Daisyfield High School.
In July, Colin returned to the UK, having apparently had a change of heart. He told Charlotte Hoyle about his plans to return and Charlotte in turn warned John, as she was in on his secret. On his return, Colin got a job at a bookshop but really wanted to teach again. He was surprised when John and Charlotte met with him to break the news about John using his identity. Colin, however, agreed not to go to the police. A few days later he was approached by Ben Fielding, who had been told where to find him by Fiz, as she thought Ben was going to batter John thinking he was Colin. Colin received a severe beating and decided to be harder on John, blackmailing him for £2,000 in exchange for him returning to Canada. When he arrived to collect his money, Colin was met by Charlotte and John and only £500. He was about to go to the police but suddenly fell to the floor, dead. Realising that the police would think he murdered Colin to cover his tracks, John got Charlotte to help him move the body to the building site at Underworld while they decided what to do next. Before John returned to retrieve the corpse, it was buried under a load of cement, and the factory became Colin's grave.
Almost a year later, in May 2011, drainage problems on the factory side of the Street resulted in the foundations of the factory being dug up. Still living at No.5, John realised that Colin's body would be discovered and joined Owen Armstrong's digging crew. Working late, he unearthed the body himself and dumped it in the canal. Fiz had found him with the body but had reluctantly agreed to help him dispose of it as she had committed fraud by using Colin's bank account, accessing money "Colin" had inherited after Joy's death in January of that year, by pretending to be Colin's wife. (John had befriended Joy in her final days and smothered her after confessing to Colin and Charlotte's murders.) It was later found out that John had buried Colin's body and Fiz was put on remand, accused of Colin's murder, as well as Charlotte and Joy's deaths. Although technically, John did not kill Colin, the beatings caused by Ben Fielding (who hasn't been linked to Colin) made it look like John must have done it himself to cover his tracks.
Colin made another "appearance" in June 2011 wrapped up in the carpet, with his feet shown and a decomposing hand also briefly appearing.
- In scenes inside Joy Fishwick's home in January 2011, a graduation photo of Colin hangs on Joy's wall (right) but it is unclear whether the likeness of actor David Crellin was used.
- For more information on Colin Fishwick as an alias of John Stape, see John Stape.

Lots of cloth diapers and covers are marketed as fitting from "birth to potty training." Is that really true? It all depends on the size of your newborn and the brand of diaper. Some run big and some run small. And even the smaller one-size diapers won't be as tiny or as trim as newborn diapers. But some do work in a pinch.
I was curious about some of the one-size diapers and covers we have in our stash, so I tried them on Erik to see what the fit was like. He was 7 pounds 9 ounces at birth and is just over 8 pounds in these photos.
Here is Erik in a Flip one-size cover with a bamboo prefold inside. It gapes a little around the leg openings, which means newborn poo possibly escaping. Not a bad fit, but certainly not as snug as I would like. Because of the extra fabric, it looks kind of saggy. And the rise is on the high side.
And now here's the BumGenius 4.0 one-size pocket diaper. This one is a lot bulkier in the front and the back. And the rise is even higher than the Flip. However, the fit around the legs is more snug.
Here's Erik in the Imagine one-size pocket diaper from Nicki's. This one runs even larger than the BumGenius and once again I noticed gaping around the leg gussets.
My conclusions? I definitely prefer our little newborn stash. It's perfectly sized for Erik, and as you know – sizing is extremely important when you're trying to keep leaks and blowouts contained. If you decide to start building a newborn stash (click here to see my reviews of more than 60 different newborn diapers and covers!) and are on a tight budget, you can get free shipping at Diaper Safari with no minimum purchase required. Nicki's also offers free shipping on covers, pockets and Imagine-brand products.
This photo helps to show the significant difference in size, even with the one size diapers on their smallest settings:
And now you can see a couple of newborn diapers on Erik to further illustrate how they are tailor-made for tiny bodies. And they are OH SO CUTE! At left…the Bummis Super Brite newborn cover. At right….a Fuzzibunz Perfect Size pocket diaper in extra small:
Next up…two of the most popular AIO newborn diapers on the market: the BumGenius and the Lil Joey:
Have I found any one-size diapers that DO work pretty well on a newborn? Yes! My two favorites are Buttons Diapers and Funky Fluff. That's my little Ingrid in these photos (the second baby I've cloth diapered from birth).
Happy Diapering 🙂

"Within any important issue, there are always aspects no one wishes to discuss."
– George Orwell
The concept of "equilibrium" is defined as a strategic management doctrine to maintain balance, stability, moderation, neutrality, equality, parity and symmetry in an organized system. In terms of leadership input, two fundamental factors are important in maintaining equilibrium in an organization. 1) Composure as a personal commitment of self-restraint in the exercise of power and decision-making. 2) Calmness as a personal leadership attribute towards making good judgments.
Social and behavioral scientists contend that for any social, political, economic, cultural or even moral-ethical system to survive and progress, it is necessary to maintain a qualified and sustainable equilibrium. When organizations, whatever their nature, are in a state of dis-equilibrium, they are most likely to collapse from pressures within and from coercion and strain from external sources. Dis-equilibrium in an organization occurs due to the lack of rationality and fairness in the conduct of its decision-making managers and when the basic rules of balance, equality and neutrality are violated by organizational leadership. Hence, leadership is of paramount importance in maintaining equilibrium or causing dis-equilibrium in an organizational system.
In today's political Pakistan, organizational dis-equilibrium in the state's affairs is conspicuously vivid and clear. The people's mandate to its democratic representatives and leadership has lost all legitimacy and the top political managers of the country have time and again violated the terms of democratic engagement with the public at large. The state political organization suffers from a serious lack of organizational ability and competence to deliver equality, parity, balance and stability to its citizens; the leadership's commitment to social-economic fairness and justice is altogether absent from the present political discourse in the country. It is hard to recall a time in Pakistan's entire history when such gross socio-economic-financial-political disasters hit the nation. The incumbent leadership's alienation from public issues has never been so glaring, so obvious, so fundamental, and so extremely reflective of basic failures in good political judgments and necessary public welfare policy and decision-making.
Consider the rising levels of poverty in the country. It is estimated that 1 in 5 people in today's Pakistan live below the international poverty line of $1 a day, and the percentage is dramatically increasing on a daily basis. "In the 10 months to October 2011, about 1,600 people decided that suicide was the only option according to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan. The previous year 2,399 people killed themselves and poverty was a significant factor, the commission said." And yet, the incumbent leadership seems completely oblivious to the plight of common citizens. A recent survey of the price index of consumable commodities, mostly used as staple food by common people, reveals staggering price increases. Dal at Rs. 1600 (20 kg); ghee at an unbelievable Rs. 200 per kilo, milk and meat shooting up at unheard of levels; gas, petrol, electricity at unaffordable prices, and yet unavailable; health, education and transportation prices skyrocketing beyond the capabilities of the majority of common citizens. "Critics say alleviating poverty has never been a priority (of this government) in the 2011-2012 budget, Pakistan's government allocated 0.04 percent of spending on social protection schemes."
The horrors of dis-equilibrium in Pakistan's political system are mushrooming. Corruption, both financial irregularities and unethical-immoral conduct at the top level of political leadership, it seems, has been institutionalized, promoted and patronized for the political gains of the powers that be. Recent Senate elections have already been bought and sold and institutional arrangements are already underway through the 20th Amendment to preserve the political status quo in the country. To block a transformational change in Pakistan's polity and maintain the rule of a few over the masses, the clan-family-braderie oligarchic political structures and alliances, behind closed doors, have already been systematically organized between the major incumbent political actors in the government and the opposition forces. There is not a shred of self-restraint in the exercise of power, and all of the political decision-making is focused on promoting the self-interests of the governing ruling elite and their allies in the shadows – while public sufferings multiply daily.
The decades-old and presently continuing dis-equilibrium in the political system has had staggering consequences for all major national institutions. The incumbent political leadership has ridiculed the judiciary; it has failed in carrying out 39 judicial decisions of the Supreme Court; it has been attempting to unduly undermine the military establishment; and its foreign patronage (especially US-Western Europe) has resulted in making foreign policy compromises that have directly damaged Pakistan's vital national interests. The country has already suffered irrevocable harm to national security, loss of sovereignty, deteriorating law and order situation and turning the country into killing fields because of its alliance with the US-Nato in the so-called war on terrorism.
The question is: How long can the nation tolerate this skilfully-orchestrated and deliberately organized dis-equilibrium in Pakistan's political structure? The fact of the matter is that no heavenly help from the skies will change the fate of a nation. It is always the people themselves who rise in unison and force a change in their national destiny. And that is precisely what today's Pakistan needs – a people's revolutionary movement to control their own future and destination as a nation.
Contemporary dis-equilibrium in Pakistan's political system is an enemy of every Pakistani. The common citizens feel they are under siege; they have a shared feeling of doubt, fear and insecurity, and they have a common stake in the future. Consequently, people will have a common and natural reaction to the oppression of dis-equilibrium of their times and they will seek protection and reassurance in a sense of belonging – a people's revolutionary movement. That is Pakistan's destiny now to go forward – or plunge into the abyss.
One day soon, the Supreme Court, in order to facilitate the end of political dis-equilibrium in Pakistan, might have to play its constitutional role – and the military establishment might have to come to the rescue of people's national predicaments at the call of the Supreme Court.
Indeed, "Within any important issue, there are always aspects that no one wishes to discuss."
Pakistan stands at the crossroads.

I don't know about you, but there's a lot of useless crap out there when it comes to tips on how to find good keywords. Many people always have a problem on where to start, etc. They know their own keywords, maybe two or three – but get stuck there.
I usually look at what keywords my competitors that are already ranking have in their titles/meta descriptions/meta keywords. To find good keywords as the base keywords we can build on, I usually make a list of all their titles/meta tags in an excel spreadsheet. Doing this by hand is one way, but there's a cool site that lets you Mass extract the title, meta description, and meta keywords tags from a list of your websites. The URL is -> http://tools.buzzstream.com/meta-tag-extractor
Efficiency is one of my favorite things, and I always try and simplify to do the most in the least ammount of time.
Open a notepad, dump the top 20 results in google (use search.aol.com to get american results) for your keyword(s) and then paste the list of domains into this tool I linked above, and in a few seconds/minutes you will have all the titles/metas that you can download in CSV from the site.
Use this information to look at related searches, build your long tails from there on.

NASA unveiled its first online space trivia game Monday, a Facebook app that allows multiple players to compete for cosmic bragging rights.
The free game, called "Space Race Blast Off," is a mix of Space Camp and "Jeopardy!" that pits players against one another in a quiz on NASA and space exploration history. Players with enough correct answers can earn award badges emblazoned with NASA astronauts, spaceships or astronomical objects, NASA game designers said.
Space news from NBCNews.com
Teen's space mission fueled by social media
Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: "Astronaut Abby" is at the controls of a social-media machine that is launching the 15-year-old from Minnesota to Kazakhstan this month for the liftoff of the International Space Station's next crew.
- Buzz Aldrin's vision for journey to Mars
- Giant black hole may be cooking up meals
- Watch a 'ring of fire' solar eclipse online
- Teen's space mission fueled by social media
"'Space Race Blast Off' opens NASA's history and research to a wide new audience of people accustomed to using social media," said David Weaver, NASA's associate administrator for communications at the agency's Washington headquarters, in a statement. "Space experts and novices will learn new things about how exploration continues to impact our world."
The new game was developed by members of NASA's Internet Services Group in the agency's communications office. It is the agency's latest foray into digital and social media. The space agency already routinely uses Twitter to announce space news and discoveries, and recently launched a space-themed Internet radio show.
In addition to facing off against other competitors in a battle of space wits, players can use the points they earn to complete sets of award badges or earn some premium awards, according to a game description. And if playing with others isn't your style, there's a solo option too, NASA officials said.
To play, competitors choose an avatar from a range of options that include scientist, astronaut (with multiple spacesuit options), alien and robot.
You can find the game here.

This week I was fortunate enough to head down to the Watermark Conference for Women alongside our SVP, Stephanie Brooks. As we enter 2020 and women continue to shatter glass ceilings, Harnham firmly believe in a proactive approach towards placing more women in Data & Tech roles. Diversity and inclusion are integral to our story and core beliefs and we strive to continually re-evaluate how we create measurable change in the marketplace and redefine the metrics of successful and excellent recruitment. For us, attending the conference was a chance to meet and learn from some of those women who are leading the way. Every talk inspired me in some way but there were a couple I really connected with, and I wanted to take the opportunity to reflect on how they impact the work we do at Harnham. WHAT IS WATER? One talk that struck a chord with me was Seth Godin's breakfast keynote, inspired by a commencement speech by David Foster Wallace in which he famously tells a story of two fish out at sea. The story goes: "There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says 'Morning, boys. How's the water?' And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes 'What the hell is water?'". Godin's speech was meditated on how attitudes and beliefs are the indicators of future success. In his speech, Godin echoed Wallace's sentiment that "freedom involves attention and awareness and discipline, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in a myriad of ways every day." Recruitment is an industry where it is easy to swim along without questioning what water or recruitment really is. To question what is water - what is recruitment - requires thoughtful analysis, careful consideration, and of course, "attention, awareness, and discipline". As the global leaders of Data & Analytics recruitment, we remind ourselves daily that we are responsible for making meaningful change. Water is, to us, what we make of it. For Seth, his water is marketing. For Harnham, our water is recruitment and we stand by Wallace's challenge to stay conscious and alive in our jobs. Day in and day out Harnham will continue to make the case for agency recruitment to be diverse and inclusive, as this is in the best economic interest of our clients. THE ECONOMY OF DIVERSITY One of the most insightful and compelling moments of the day was a conversation between Pat Mitcheel and Indra Nooyi, the former chair and CEO of PepsiCo. Having directed the company's global strategy for more than a decade, Nooyi is uniquely poised to discuss the importance and power of having women in every capacity within an organization. During the conversation, she highlighted the statistics that measure the success companies achieve when women have equal representation at all levels. Currently, gender parity exists in entry-level positions but is absent in the 2nd and 3rd tiers of the workforce. While Nooyi highlighted that having a diverse and inclusive workplace should be an integral part of every company's corporate social responsibility, she argued that this also leads to unprecedented economic growth. This aligns closely with our view of Diversity at Harnham, something which we examined in more detail in our Diversity Report. For Nooyi, in making the case for the economics of diversity, she used the work of care economists to show how implementing policies that affected the unique interests of women are proven to not only keep women in the workforce and draw them back to work after children but are also shown to increase the economic output of countries. Institutional change at the corporate level and policies focused on those who have care-giving responsibilities have been shown to positively influence economic growth and increase the happiness and productivity of workers. BREAKING OUT As a woman working in a fast-paced and competitive environment, I also took a number of insights from the various break-out sessions held throughout the day. Here are a few highlights: Women Breaking Barriers: Michelle P. King, Andrea McBride John, Pat Mitchell, Samantha Rapoport Find a mentor, be a mentor. Find a sponsor, be a sponsor. Find a sister, be a sister.Take up space and own it Share your successes with the women and men around you Building a Network of Relationships, Not Just Contacts: Laura Okmin Focus on asking people who they are, not what they do Reach out when you don't need anything, maintain relationships The Myth of the Nice Girl Nice people build trust, trust is the foundation of all business relationships You don't have to choose between kindness and strength If you want to break glass ceilings, we may have an opportunity for you.

One of the things I like to most is to meet our candidates face-to-face. Because most them are local, it's simple. We call them in and the traditional interview process begins. But, sometimes, the best person for the job or the clients themselves aren't local. Enter Zoom or Skype or any such communication method where you can see the person you're talking to. While it's a step in the right direction, it's not the complete step. Why? Because you can't pick up on those subtle clues you might miss, if the meeting isn't in person. Going The Extra Mile for the Right Placement One of my colleagues recently shared a story with me. She'd been working with a candidate via Zoom for a placement in another State. Though the candidate and the client were both in the area, she wasn't. The communication with the prospective candidate felt right, but she just wasn't sure. To ensure she was making the right placement, she traveled to meet them. She wanted to meet the candidate to get a better understanding of him before she was able to successfully place him. Fortunately, it wasn't on the other side of the country, but, it was definitely something that needed to happen. In today's hyper-digitized world, it's important to remember that the ability to meet in person is an advantage. From the Client's Side From an office perspective on the client's side, an in-person meeting offers further advantages. The client can see how the candidate will interact in the actual environment of their business. A birds' eye view of how the candidate handles themselves in the cultural atmosphere of the business, if you will. In sharpening their focus, the client can also see how a candidate's appearance, point of view, and communication side affect their performance at the interview and beyond. We make these snap judgements without realizing it, but they're important. And you can't really get a good idea of the person over the phone or via email as it can occasionally be difficult to read a candidate's intentions. At Harnham, we have tried to spearhead the interaction point of view for our own relationships. One of the most unique aspects of our business our dedication to the people we place and our clients we serve. So, navigating data-driven trends with our face-to-face culture finds a distinctive focus as we enter the Age of Data 2.0. A Shift Toward Pipeline Experience With U.S. office locations in both New York and San Francisco, we have a variety of clients from startups to Fortune 500. So, to say one thing is definite in one place or another is a stretch. But, there is a trend, here in New York for professionals with pipeline experience or Machine Learning model development. On the flip side, a growing trend in the San Francisco market has most of their clientele looking for a Machine Learning Engineer profile within the pipeline development lifecycle. So, while we're (New York) a little bit behind, it's a trend I'm seeing on both sides of the spectrum within the last six months or so. Though it's not exactly the unicorn employee, clients seek, there is shift toward higher level oversight. Someone who will be responsible for the entire pipeline. Demand remains high for a field still facing a data shortage. Though the U.S. still lags behind the U.K. and Europe, it's catching up. As businesses focus on their data strategies in the new year, below are a few things to consider before you hire or accept. Top 3 Questions to Ask Before You Hire From the client's side determine and the role you want to fill. Ask yourselves the following: What's the objective of the role you'd like to fill? What is the goal?What contribution do you want from the person in that role?What is your timeline to have that person on board? What happens if you can't fill the role within your timeline? Top 3 Questions for Mid-to-Senior Level Candidates Did you list the business impact of your list of accomplishments? Can you communicate as easily with your Data team as you do with the Executives? Clients are looking for a mix of technical understanding and the ability to communicate to technical and non-technical audiences. Are your projects keeping you engaged creatively? When was the last time you were given a new initiative, new project, or new client to partner with? If not, then it may be time to search or perhaps consider a contractor role for a fresh perspective. If you're interested in AI, Big Data or Digital and Web Analytics, we may have a role for you.
