The yetzer hatov makes its first appearance in the Bible in the form of the serpent who tempts Eve to eat from the Tree of Knowledge. Eve is attracted to the Tree because she believes eating its fruit will make her as powerful and independent as God. It's her competitive impulse that draws her to rebel against God's command. In our Bible class, Shaynan Graves suggested that Eve was more likely to oppose God, because she was created to be an ezer k'negdo/a helpful oppose. That is, Adam is attracted to Eve, in part because she is different from him. She offers him a perspective on the world that he does not have. And, with that perspective, Adam is more complete.
When Abraham appears on the scene, he elevates the yetzer hara to a new level. In opposing God's plan to destroy the wicked Sodom, Abraham accesses his independent, rebellious side. But, Abraham's motivation for opposing God's will is not to compete with God. Rather, Abraham is trying to hold God to God's own highest standards. In this way, Abraham becomes God's ezer k'negdo (helpful opposition).
It is clear that this is exactly what attracted God to Abraham in the first place. In the first eleven chapters of Genesis, God is depicted as searching for a partner, someone who will understand Him, but also, where appropriate, oppose him. God's initial search for a human partner ends in frustration, much as Adam initially does not find a suitable mate. Adam and Eve, Cain, the generation of Noah and the people of Babel are all a disappointment to God.
Along comes Abraham, and God declares 'zot ha'paam'—this time, it's right---as Adam declared about Eve. When God considers 'not covering up' what God is about to do to Sodom from Abraham, it is reminiscent of the stage in a love relationship where partners begin to share things with each other that they would share with no one else. God even uses the words 'ki tedativ'/ for I have 'known' Abraham. The word 'yada' in Biblical Hebrew is the word for intimacy, both physical and emotional.
This aspect of love is well known to us from the Katherine Hepburn-Spencer Tracy movies. The Hepburn character is attractive to the Tracy character precisely because she opposes him. Throughout the Bible, we, the Jewish people, are Katherine Hepburn to God's Spencer Tracy. God is constantly complaining about our rebelliousness, calling us 'a stiff necked people" and in the prophets 'an untrained calf.' Our disobedience often results in the severest of punishments. But, it is arguable that the same quality in us that is so problematic for God is precisely what attracted God to us in the first place.

Release date: 2018
Contains spoilers
Hailing from Norway, with the original title VampyrVidar, this is a deeply black comedy that is certain to offend some – so the warning is, if you are strongly Christian I'd turn away now… or perhaps not as there are a couple of readings of this film.
It also contains a particularly misogynist streak to the humour but, again, it all depends how you read the text. Far from celebrating that, I'd say it laments it but uses dark satire to do so. That said, there is certainly a feeling that there is no taboo too far.

Dropping Off Marine
on Mon Feb 12, 2018 12:58 pm
OOC: unless otherwise stated Cheese the Chao will always be with Cream the Rabbit. Also, when you see this This means that only Cream is talking even though Cheese the Chao is in the pic. I'll indicate Cheese speaking by Cheese: until I get a pic.
*The scene opens to sometime after Blaze had her last match. Blaze, Cream, and Marine were heading to Cream's House.*
: You're not bein' very fair.
: You high-jacked a golf cart and caused much trouble as well as property damage. On top of that you interfered with several matches.
: But you won didn't you? I don't see the problem if I give you an assist.
: I don't need an assist. I need you to stop causing me problems.
: But...
*Marine then stopped as they reached their destination... or what was left of it. For it seemed that the house was burned to the ground. The three off them at it stunned.*
: Ok, I didn't do that... hmmmm... Oh, maybe it was pirates, yeah that's it. Pirates that came here thinking they could stop the adventures of Captian Marine. But they didn't expect that I wasn't here. So...
: Quiet!
*Marine was a little taken aback from Blaze's sudden outburst. Then recovered.*
: ...Are they maybe still here? *She strikes a fighting pose.* There not getting away from this 'ere sheila.
: No, I want you to be quiet so I can consintrate.
: Oh.
*The three of them looked at the burnt house.*
: Hey what's that?
*Marine dashed over to a spot in the house.*
: Marine, get back here.
: No drama, mate. I'm only seein' what that sparkly thing is.
*Marine walked over to the spot where she pulled up a chared chest.*
: Ripper! There's treasure.
*Marine opened the chest as her face lit up.*
: Bewdy! Look at the size of this gem.
*Marine came back over to Blaze. She showed the chest to Blaze. As Blaze saw it she reciginsed it.*
: A Sol Emerald!
: ... Awe.... this is one of those thing-a-jigs you were lookin' for? Blimey, 'ere you go Blaze.
*Blaze took out the Sol Emerald and as she did there was another thing in there.*
: Crikey, there's some paper in 'ere. Maybe it's a treasure map.
*Marine got out the paper and began to read it.*
: Oh, Blimey. It ain't.
*Marine handed Blaze the note then she began to inspect the chest again. Blaze began to read the note.*
: *sigh* Seems whoever, burnt down the house also kidnapped Vanilla.
: Do you think it was Mr. Eggman?
*Blaze shrugs*
: Can't be sure. But what am I going to do with you two?
: Sounds like a real burl. So the adventures of Captain Marine continue.
*Blaze looked at Marine.*
: Don't be so sure about that. But for now I'll have to take you with me til I can come up with another solution.
: Ripper!
*Blaze gave Marine a slight annoyed look. Then the three of them left.*
*Some time later, inside Blaze's hotel room. It was night and Blaze, Cream, and Cheese was asleep. Marine, however, was up and on the laptop Blaze used to get in touch with eWe. Marine was browsing the eWe sight as she happened upon the sign up for the sign up to the Queen of the Ring sign up. Marine thought about it as she then entered Blaze to the tournament. Marine smiled to herself.*
The next morning.
*Blaze gets up to see Marine asleep by the laptop. Blaze sighed as she pick up the laptop then used the history to see what all Marine did. Marine didn't seem to do much but send strange emails to different eWe people. ofcourse, she used Blaze's account so Blaze made a mental note to change her password. She also saw that Marine had signed her up for the Queen of the Ring Tournament. Blaze didn't mind that. She did want to enter the Tournament but she knew that she'd have to do something with Marine so that she wouldn't interupt her match. She thought about it. The only people she really knew in this dimension was Cream's mom Vanilla as well as Sonic and Tails. Vanilla was kidnapped and Sonic and Tails had their own problems. Blaze then sent an pm to Sonic. Perhaps he could think of someone who'd keep Marine. Blaze waits then she gets a reply. Sonic tells her that a Amy Rose would be able to look after both Marine and Cream. Blaze had met Amy Rose once before. So she sent an ok message and arranged a meeting for her.*
*Later, Blaze meets up with Amy and drops off Marine and Cream.*

[This excerpt describes Koestler's first visit to France after the publication and huge success of his novel, Darkness at Noon, in French translation. It is taken from a chapter called "Adventures Among the Existentialists."] Cosmic Reporter is to be published by Random House in 2007.
Arthur Koestler was reasonably sure that his literary and political allies in France, except for the special case of Malraux, would be found among that small group of writers who had been tagged by the popular press as "existentialists." He had admired Sartre since 1938, holding the latter's short story, "The Wall," to be "the profoundest thing ever written" on the Spanish Civil War, and respected his coinage of the term "existentialism" to describe a philosophy of cosmic loneliness and freedom that nevertheless obligated the individual, in a cold and unfeeling world, to shoulder his ethical responsibility and commit to political activism. One of the many books that had influenced Sartre when he was formulating his philosophy was in fact Koestler's Dialogue with Death; and André Gide had noted of Scum of the Earth that it was "the best possible illustration of Sartrism - if not of existentialism proper." Sartre was the acknowledged prophet, and his recently published novel, The Age of Reason, one of existentialism's bibles. Another prophet of existentialism was Albert Camus, whose "absurdist" works, The Stranger and The Myth of Sisyphus, were obligatory reading for French intellectuals of the period. The third, but decidedly junior, musketeer of existentialism was Sartre's lifelong partner, Simone de Beauvoir (nicknamed Castor, or the Beaver), whose novel The Blood of Others, along with her essays, had helped to popularize the new philosophy among the young.
After waiting in vain for their joint publisher, Charlot, to introduce them, Koestler met Camus by the simple expedient of walking into the latter's office at Gallimard and introducing himself. "Humphrey Bogart young" was how one Left Bank journalist had described Camus, and Koestler compared him to "a young Apollo." Camus was "slim and sinewy, with a shock of light brown hair, an easy smile, and a dark complexion derived from his North African heritage," and "still looked like the athletic young soccer player of his youth." Friendship between the two men was instant. Both were in the Bogart mold: short, compact and muscular, affecting a cool manner to disguise a smoldering temper, with an eternal cigarette dangling from the lower lip. "With Camus," Koestler later wrote, "an easy camaraderie developed from our very first meeting. We tutored each other, and shared much the same tastes in wining, dining and running after women." It wasn't long before the two men were drinking together at the Café de Flore and ogling the young flirts patrolling St Germain des Près.
Both were cultural outsiders - Koestler from Hungary via Austria and Germany, Camus from Algeria via the south of France; both had had to fight their way from obscurity to success; both were consumed by the role of ethics in the life of the individual and society; both had been active anti-Fascists and card-carrying members of the Communist Party before they left it (Camus had been forced out for defending the Muslim nationalists in Algeria); and both were novelists of ideas who had captured the imagination of the French reading public. Koestler respected Camus not only for his books, but also for his public activities, among them his resignation from the French Writer's Association when it was taken over by the communists, and Camus respected Koestler for Darkness at Noon, which had deeply influenced his own thinking about communism. They were to spend a great deal of time together during the rest of the month - and during Koestler's future visits to France. Of all the Left Bank writers, Camus was the closest to him in temperament and outlook, yet each retained an inner reserve in the presence of the other. Their relationship, Koestler concluded later, was "more intimate than deep; we were, in fact, copains - chums rather than friends."
Camus told Koestler that Sartre and Beauvoir had recently transferred their literary headquarters from the Café de Flore to the basement of the Hotel Pont-Royal, next to where Koestler was staying. Koestler went round there the next day and said to Sartre with boyish simplicity: "Hello, I'm Koestler." Sartre was even shorter than Koestler, and with his stumpy limbs, long torso, and famously disconcerting squint, put Koestler in mind of "a malevolent goblin." But the rapport between the two men (and between Koestler and Beauvoir) was instant. Koestler approved of the way the Beaver's close-fitting French dress hugged her figure, and admired her high, prominent cheekbones, and the long chestnut hair coiled in a bun on her head. The famous couple had long since recognized in the author of Darkness at Noon as a thinker far from alien to existentialism. Beauvoir had stayed up all night reading Koestler's novel and had found it "enthralling." Koestler told them Mamaine had just arrived from England, and they agreed the four of them should meet the following Sunday.
Mamaine found Koestler's hotel suite in "indescribable chaos" on the morning of her arrival, with "secretaries, publishers, producers" trooping in and out and people telephoning all the time, so that it was "impossible either to sleep or get dressed," but the chaos abated by the weekend. Sunday began with drinks at the Café de Flore with an improbable assortment of friends: Sartre and Beauvoir, Sylvester and Pauline Gates from the British embassy, the American journalist Harold Kaplan, Teddy Kollek and his wife (in Paris to see Ben Gurion), and Koestler's old comrade from the Le Vernet concentration camp, Leo Valiani. Drinks were followed by lunch (which lasted until 4.30 pm) with two British correspondents, Darsie Gillie and a former boyfriend of Mamaine's called Sylvain Mangeot, to whom Koestler was "particularly rude and unpleasant." Dinner was at 6 in the Sperbers' apartment, with "filthy food," no drinks, and a polyglot conversation in French, German and English that gave Mamaine indigestion.
At 10:30 that night they met Sartre and Beauvoir at Sartre's mother's apartment in the rue Bonaparte. Sartre still lived with his mother, despite his longstanding relationship with the Beaver. This time both the drink and the conversation flowed easily. Sartre, according to Mamaine, was "charming," and expounded at great length on his theory of existentialism, which she found difficult to understand. Early on in the conversation Koestler, "in a peremptory tone softened by an almost feminine smile" (Beauvoir), told Sartre: "You are a better novelist than I am, but not such a good philosopher," and launched into a summary of the ideas he was developing in Insight and Outlook. Basing himself on physiology, he wanted to "assure man a margin of freedom without departing from psychological materialism," and explained to Sartre and Beauvoir that "systems governed by the cerebellum, the thalamus and the lower brain overlapped but did not rigidly control each other; between the lower and the upper parts there must be room for a 'bubble' of liberty."
Beauvoir felt that Koestler was "certainly a better novelist than he was a philosopher," and was highly amused by his pronunciation of the word "thalamoose." She later claimed to be embarrassed by Koestler's "doctrinaire self-assurance" and "self-taught pedantry," feeling that success had made him vain and gone to his head. But she had registered the appraising look in his deep blue eyes and showed no resistance at the time. On the contrary, she warmed to his passion and voracious curiosity, and found him a fascinating talker. Koestler, for his part, came away feeling satisfied that he had made a dent in Sartre's arguments. Sartre "agrees that the moral question is the decisive one," he wrote in his diary, and is "prepared to drop néant [nothingness] aside" (a reference to Sartre's celebrated treatise on Being and Nothingness). "Seems to be moving away from USSR."
After that first meeting, Koestler and Mamaine spent many hours with their French friends arguing about literature and politics. On October 23 Koestler quarreled with Camus over some point of doctrine and Camus sent Koestler a note the next day to apologize. That night, they were all supposed to go to Sartre's play, No Exit, but Willi Münzenberg's former secretary, Hans Schulz, turned up at Koestler's hotel, got blind drunk, and passed out on the floor. Koestler "angelically coped" with his old comrade in arms until about ten o'clock, when they went next door to the Pont-Royal to scavenge something to eat. Mamaine returned to the hotel alone, leaving Koestler in the bar with Beauvoir, Sartre, and the playwright Jean Genet. Koestler, according to Mamaine, "got drunk" and didn't return "from Sartre's" until eight the next morning.
Soon after this Mamaine took to her bed in exhaustion, and Koestler brought Sartre and Beauvoir to her bedside for a dinner of lobster and ham salad and cheese, then embarked with them on a marathon pub crawl in Montparnasse. This was capped on October 31, the day before Koestler was due to leave Paris, by a spectacular bacchanalia involving himself and Mamaine, Sartre and Beauvoir, and Camus and Francine. They started the evening at an Algerian bistro recommended by Camus, then moved to a small dance hall in the Rue des Gravilliers, lit with pink and blue neon lights, where men who insisted on keeping their hats on danced bemusedly with girls in short skirts. "Here for the first time in my life," wrote Mamaine to "Dearest Twinnie" in London, "I danced with K, and also saw the engaging spectacle of him lugging the Castor (who has I think hardly ever danced in her life) round the floor while Sartre (who ditto) lugged Mme Camus."
Koestler then issued an "imperious" (the word is Beauvoir's) invitation to the others to go with him to Schéhérezade, which after much protesting they agreed to do. The club was plunged into almost total darkness, with violinists wandering about "playing soulful Russian music" into the guests' ears. But the writers talked politics and literature as usual. "If only it were possible to tell the truth," exclaimed Camus at one point. According to Beauvoir, Koestler grew gloomy as he listened to the sentimental Russian folksong, "Dark Eyes," and accused Sartre and even Camus of wanting to compromise with the Soviet Union. "It's impossible to be friends if we differ about politics," he said, but Camus contradicted him. "What we have in common, you and I, is that for us individuals come first… we place friendship above politics." Beauvoir agreed. "We are the proof of it at this very moment," she said, "since, despite all our dissensions, we are so happy to be together." Sartre, according to Mamaine, "got very drunk almost at once, Beauvoir also got drunk and wept a great deal, and K got drunk too (we drank vodka and champagne, both in large quantities). Francine Camus (who is extremely beautiful and nice) also got tight. Camus and I did not get drunk, though we nearly did." Mamaine omitted to mention that she and Camus had also danced cheek to cheek, and exchanged some furtive kisses.
After prying Koestler from Schéhérezade at about four a.m., they repaired to Chez Victor in Les Halles for onion soup, oysters and white wine. Sartre, according to Mamaine, was now roaring drunk and "kept pouring pepper and salt into paper napkins, folding them up small and stuffing them into his pocket." Koestler, resentful at having been made to leave the night club, threw a crust of bread across the table, hit Mamaine in the eye, and was filled with remorse as it turned bright blue and purple. Sartre kept giggling that he was due to give a UNESCO lecture at the Sorbonne that day on "The Responsibility of the Writer" and hadn't prepared a line. Camus said: "Alors, tu parleras sans moi" [Well, you'll have to speak without me]. Sartre responded: "Je voudrais bien pouvoir parler sans moi" [I wish I could speak without me as well], and subsided into giggles.
They broke up at dawn. Alone with Sartre, Beauvoir sobbed "over the tragedy of the human condition," then leaned on the parapet of a bridge over the Seine and said: "I don't see why we don't throw ourselves in the river." "All right," agreed Sartre, "let's throw ourselves in," and began to cry himself. In another part of the city, Koestler and Mamaine also walked by the Seine and Koestler too burst into tears as he stared into the river. He then disappeared into a pissoir and shouted to Mamaine as she waited outside for him: "Don't leave me, I love you, I'll always love you." They got home at about eight the next morning and slept all day, except for poor Sartre, who stuffed himself with pep pills and dragged himself off to the Sorbonne to give his lecture. It was not possible even for an existentialist to address the students "sans moi."
Beauvoir found Koestler "vain and full of self-importance," but also "full of warmth, life and curiosity; the passion with which he argued was unflagging; he was always ready, at any hour of the day or night, to talk about any subject under the sun. He was generous with his time, with himself, and also with his money; he had no taste for ostentation, but when one went out with him he always wanted to pay for everything and never counted the cost. He had a naive pride in the fact that his wife, Mamaine, belonged to an aristocratic English family." On the other hand, Koestler was also "touchy, tormented, greedy for human warmth, but cut off from others by his personal obsessions." Beauvoir quotes him as saying, "I have my furies," which made relations with him complicated and unpredictable. Later, after Beauvoir had fallen out with Koestler, she heartily disapproved of him, as she made clear in the later pages of her autobiography, Force of Circumstance (the above citation comes early in volume one) and especially in disparaging remarks to her American biographer, Deirdre Bair, some forty years later. But she captures him best in her underrated roman à clef, The Mandarins, about the intellectual ferment in Paris just after the war, where she paints a portrait of Koestler that is undoubtedly colored by her later dislike, but is also complex and nuanced.
Koestler appears in the novel as the Russian novelist, Victor Scriassine (not a pleasant-sounding name to the French ear), who has a "triangular face," "prominent cheekbones," "hard fiery eyes," and a "thin, almost feminine mouth" belying his heavily masculine manner. His voice is "harsh and disagreeable," his manner brusque. He is bombastic and pedantic, argumentative and overbearing, morbidly self-absorbed and gloomily pessimistic about the way he thinks the world is going. "There wasn't a place on earth where he felt really at home." Yet his passion is so all-devouring, his intelligence so blazing, that he is capable of sweeping others off their feet with the sheer intensity of his personality.
Beauvoir was certainly swept off hers, at least on the night when Mamaine left Koestler in the Pont-Royal bar with Beauvoir, Sartre and Genet. Mamaine thought that Koestler had returned the next morning "from Sartre's," but he hadn't. He had spent the night with Beauvoir. To her biographer, Deirdre Bair, Beauvoir insisted that Koestler had kept "pushing and pushing" her until she said yes to shut him up. "It wasn't any good. It didn't mean anything. He was too drunk, so was I. It never happened again. Only that night was real, the rest is how I loathed him. I really detested him, that arrogant fool."
In The Mandarins Beauvoir tells a different story, capturing both sides of Koestler-Scriassine: the sophisticated, world-weary seducer with a streak of cruelty in his make-up, and the agonized adolescent dreamer morphing into the mischievous naughty boy. When he smiles "all traces of pedantry" vanish. He exhibits a "Slavic charm." His "tragic voice," the depth of his concern for the big questions in life, "how shall we live," "what shall we do," awaken an echo in her that disturbs her. She is charmed when he gaily bets her a bottle of champagne that his political predictions for France will come true. On the big night he kisses her hand and peppers her with questions. "He was a very good listener; he made you feel as if he were carefully weighing each of your words. But you had to speak for him, not for yourself." He tells her to stop talking about politics. "I hate talking politics with a woman," but later concedes: "You're not so dumb. Generally I dislike intelligent women, maybe because they're not intelligent enough." Soon enough he propositions her, but without a hint of flattery. "I hate a lot of beating around the bush. Paying court to a woman is degrading for both oneself and for the woman. I don't suppose you go for all that sentimental nonsense either." She does and she doesn't, but she accepts his suggestion and they head back to her apartment.

Donna Marcotte, Independent Consultant
Baltimore's beautiful Inner Harbor served as the backdrop for the 13th annual Content Management Strategies/DITA North America Conference (CMS/DITA), which was held April 4-6, 2011. This major seaport, rich in maritime history and culture, was an ideal location for information professionals, managers, technicians, and solution providers who are setting their sights on new ways to develop information and deliver it to their enterprise and their customers.
More than 260 people from 15 countries gathered at the conference hotel, which was right on the waterfront, just steps away from the sun, seafood, and Inner Harbor ambience.
Destination DITA
This was my first CMS/DITA conference, though I have attended other CIDM conferences. One of my clients also attended. We are researching use of DITA to meet the information needs of her organization, a global consortium that develops XML-based data-exchange standards for the oil and gas industry.
The consortium develops and supports sets of standards for several different technical domains. The work of those domains is integrated and so are the standards. So naturally, the documentation needs to be integrated too. Additionally, the many different consortium members from around the world have varying ideas about what kind of information deliverables are needed: Printed manuals. Web-based content. Single manuals for each data object in the standard. One giant manual that documents everything. All of the above!
It was clear that a "book-based" traditional documentation approach was no longer sustainable. A consultant colleague of mine had been talking with me about DITA, and I could see the value of this approach on many levels for my client's organization.
She too was able to see the value of DITA, but we both still had many questions on how it worked, how to get started, and what tools to use. DITA/CMS served as the single perfect event where we could learn about all aspects of DITA, structured authoring, and related tools and technologies.
Charting the Course
The two-and-a-half-day conference was organized into four tracks—authoring, technical, management, and tools—and featured more than 75 presentations from people in every stage of the DITA process, from those like me in the early stages or investigation, to seasoned "sailors," some of whom were among the first to chart the DITA seas.
Our host JoAnn Hackos opened the conference with a welcome to the delegates, an overview of the conference, and introduction of keynote speaker Scott McCloud, comic artist and authority, and author of the book Understanding Comics.
I have neither the column space nor the words to do justice to describing Scott McCloud. He may be most recently best known for developing a comic book to explain the inner workings of Google Chrome, Google's open source browser. He talked about that experience along with several other seemingly unrelated topics (like a road trip with his children) but weaved those topics together with a fast-paced yet easy delivery style punctuated with rapidly changing humorous graphics that entertained, educated and intrigued this viewer. This was not your father's PowerPoint presentation! Check out his website: www.scottmccloud.com.
Anchors Aweigh
Well the keynote was a hard act to follow, but many sessions delivered more good and useful information. Here are some highlights from just a few of the sessions I attended.
The authoring track had several excellent presentations about the changes required in development and publication processes to successfully implement DITA. Tim Allen's (Oberon Technologies) message was loud and clear: If your information developers (ID) still write or own "books," then your organization isn't really doing DITA, or isn't realizing the full value of structured authoring, topic-based development, and content re-use.
In a subsequent presentation ("It Takes a Village: Managing publications with many contributors"), Mark Forry and Pia Chamberlain presented a case study of successful organizational and process restructuring at NetApp, Inc. Their team had transformed their publication process, to include new information development roles, which include publication captain, publication architect, and content contributor. Members of their staff serve in multiple roles across different deliverables. This enabled them to focus on writing successful stand-alone topics (content contributor) and to effectively re-use their topics to create different deliverables (content architecture).
In his management track presentation, "DITA or Bust: How we succeeded in spite of everything," Steve Straight of TruePosition, Inc. delivered a candid and humorous (though he may not have been laughing at the time) overview of being recruited by a former boss to manage a pubs team and move it to DITA. He provided lots of helpful "learn-from-my-mistakes" advice, which, as someone just beginning this journey, I truly appreciated.
Land Ho!
To me, the overall best business-value story came from the team of Marcos Campos, Derek Saldana and Bob Beims at Freescale Semiconductor, with a presentation titled, "It's not 'Just' Documentation Any More!" The trio explained how their company is using DITA to transform their overall business processes, not just their documentation. Their DITA content is intellectual property developed by engineers, product designers and even customers. Using DITA, that information can be developed, maintained and leveraged throughout their design, production, sales and customer service process. Now that's maximizing information value!
Ahoy Mates!
Of course, tools and technology are also key concerns, so we spent time talking with the many solution exhibitors. The conference facility was conveniently set up with the breakout rooms right off the main exhibition hall where we also had our meals, making it easy to interact with exhibitors without having to miss any of the great sessions.
DITA is still relatively new and the tools are emerging. Several of the session presenters commented about how cooperative and collaborative the solution providers have been as people work together to chart the course and develop viable, robust yet flexible solutions. Additionally, the vendors are also willing to collaborate. For example, an authoring tool that was cited by many to be one of the favorites, can easily integrate with many of the content management systems.
Perhaps this cooperation is due to the integrative flexibility of XML-based technologies. Or maybe it's more. Come find out for yourself at DITA Europe 2011 or CMS/DITA 2012.

Colorectal cancer symptoms can be embarrassing to address or easy to dismiss. But discussing your bowel movements with your doctor can be a lifesaving conversation.
The most common signs and symptoms are rectal bleeding, which can be painless, diarrhea or constipation. However, what makes colon and rectal cancers scary is that there usually are no symptoms.
Anyone can develop colorectal cancer, but chances increase markedly after age 50. The recommendation for people over 50 is to have a digital rectal exam and a colonoscopy, in conjunction with radiology tests, to look for either precancerous or cancerous conditions. Tests can be done earlier if a direct relative — mother, father or sibling — has had colorectal cancer.
Screenings are important because often, the cancers develop from precancerous lesions, and if they are detected early, they can be removed right away.
To make the most timely and accurate assessment of the patient, institutions like The Johns Hopkins Hospital are using a multidisciplinary approach to colorectal cancer. This means a team of experts from different specialties — such as oncology, surgery and radiology — discusses each case and then tailors a care plan to the specific needs of the patient.
On that same line, almost all patients with colorectal cancer nowadays undergo some form of genetic testing, which looks at specific gene defects. That information helps physicians decide the type of chemotherapy to which the patient will respond best after surgery.
There are three minimally invasive approaches to surgery for colorectal cancer.
The laparoscopic approach places cameras and instruments in small incisions to see exactly where the cancer is located, detach it, and remove the part of the colon or rectum that has the cancer. Transanal minimally invasive surgery allows physicians to operate through the anus, freeing up the rectum in difficult places. Robotic surgery can also remove portions of the colon and the rectum, and put everything back together.
Technology is advancing at a very rapid pace. Every two or three years, there is a new piece of equipment that makes it easier to do these complex surgeries without making large incisions, ultimately improving the patient's recovery time.
Over the last 10 years, dramatic improvements have allowed physicians to treat patients with colorectal cancer and advance their quality of life. Early diagnosis is key.
It makes having that conversation with your doctor about bowel movements and undergoing the recommended screenings worth it.
Jonathan Efron, M.D., heads the Division of Colorectal Surgery at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. For more information, visit hopkinsmedicine.org.

Caldy 17 Blackheath 25
A superb performance, and deserved victory, to topple the National League One leaders and keep Blackheath's challenge at the head of the table firmly alive.
In a tight game, on this bright but chilly afternoon at the delightful Paton Field, each side matched the other with three tries apiece, but the visitors, led by the inspirational Markus Burcham, captaining his club for the 100th time (99 of them consecutive), kept their noses in front, bar a five minute spell early in the second period and, when required, mounted a staunch defence to see themselves to a fourth successive win.
Indeed, Burcham had a fine match in the Club midfield and was heavily involved in the attack straight from the kick-off which demonstrated Blackheath's intent and took the visitors close, only for Caldy to turn over ball at the first scrum. However, as a strong break from Henry Staff resulted in the outside-centre being held up across the goal-line, the ensuing set-piece saw ball spun across field for Jake Lloyd to pop ball inside for Nick Foster to score the opening try.
Elliot Clements-Hill added the conversion and a further three points as Caldy came up off-side, but a penalty at the other end saw the Cheshire side opt for a scrum from which tight-head Derek Salisbury drove across, reducing the hosts' deficit to 10-7.
Great work again in the midfield by Burcham, allied to Neale Patrick making good yardage, enabled Mark Cooke to send Staff powering across in the left corner, despite a slight juggle with the ball, but Caldy responded again as phases of line-out ball opened up space for left-wing Luke Hibberd to cross, leaving the score 15-12 at the break in favour of the visitors.
In fact Caldy had their best period of the match around the interval, and as a needless forward pass put Blackheath under pressure, the hosts again benefitted from the option of a scrum from a penalty, this time hooker Ted Stagg driving over for the score.
With a two-point deficit, and Craig Dowsett in the sin-bin, Blackheath might have begun to flounder, but a Cooke penalty restored the lead before, on 54 minutes, the decisive moment came as Caldy allowed the ball to fall loose, and Foster pounced, the full-back sprinting 40-metres and under the uprights.
Another Cooke penalty struck the post, and two attacking line-outs which might have enabled the visitors to move out of sight went wayward in the stiff breeze, but as Caldy sought the try which would have given them two league points, the Club's defence held firm and ensured the Blackheath win.
Next Saturday, Blackheath return to Well Hall to take on newly-promoted Sale FC. Kick-off is at the earlier time of 2.00 pm.

Breaking news and expert analysis on legal and compliance issues
From Health Law Daily, November 3, 2016
Payments for comprehensive primary care services are changing for the better for providers who use coordinated and patient-centered care. CMS released a Final rule revising payment policies for the Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) and Medicare Part B with changes designed to improve the quality of care provided and health outcomes while using the Medicare Trust Funds properly and more efficiently. The rule, which will publish in the Federal Register on November 15, 2016, includes changes to the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP), new requirements for Medicare Advantage (MA) provider networks, expands the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP), and adds data transparency requirements for MA and Part D. The regulations are effective on January 1, 2017.
Most provisions in the Final rule are adopted from the Proposed rule (81 FR 46161, July 15, 2016; see Physician fee schedule plans 'significant actions' emphasizing primary care, July 8, 2016) without alteration.
PFS conversion factor. The PFS pays for Medicare services furnished by physicians and other practitioners in all sites of service based on the relative resources typically used to furnish the service. Each service is assigned a relative value unit (RVU) and paid after applying a yearly conversion rate. For calendar year (CY) 2017, CMS estimates the PFS conversion factor to be 35.8887, slightly higher than the Proposed rule's estimate of 35.7751.The CY 2017 anesthesia conversion factor is estimated to be 22.0454. Both calculations include required adjustments for budget neutrality and a 0.5 percent update required by the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) (P.L. 114-10).
Section 3134(a) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) (P.L. 111-148) requires the identification of potentially misvalued services, and adjustments to their RVUs. Congress set a target adjustment of 0.5 percent for 2017; CMS finalized code changes achieving 0.32 percent in net expenditure reductions. The agency therefore had to apply an additional adjustment to the update, which accounts for the increase in conversion factors from the Proposed rule.
MA provider enrollment. The Final rule creates parity between provider and supplier enrollment requirements for all Medicare programs by requiring health care providers who contract with an MA organization to provide services to beneficiaries enrolled in MA health plans to be screened and enrolled in Medicare. The change will help ensure that Medicare enrollees receive appropriate or medically-necessary items or services from health care providers and suppliers that fully comply with Medicare enrollment requirements.
These requirements apply to:
Enrollment is required beginning in 2018—two years after publication of the Final rule—and beginning on the first day of the plan year thereafter, MA plans that do not meet the requirements may be subject to contract actions ranging from intermediate sanctions to contract termination.
MDPP. The MDPP is the first model tested successfully through the ACA's CMS Innovation Center to be implemented. The independent CMS Chief Actuary certified that expanding the program would reduce or not result in any increase in net program spending. HHS determined that the expansion will improve quality of patient care without increasing spending, or reduce spending without reducing quality of patient care, and that it will not deny or limit the coverage or benefits that Medicare beneficiaries receive. CMS released data and a fact sheet about the MPDD, which will be expanded during CY 2018.
Data collection. MACRA Sec. 523 required CMS to gather data on post-surgical visits; the Final rule significantly reduces the burden on practitioners from that of the Proposed rule. The final regulations now:
The reporting requirement is effective for services related to global procedures furnished on or after July 1, 2017, though voluntary reporting is available for the full year.
Other. The Final rule will make public MA bid pricing data, and MA and Part D medical-loss ratio (MLR) data. CMS revised the methodology used to calculate Geographic Practice Cost Indices (GPCIs) in the U.S. territories, leading to an overall increase in PFS payments in Puerto Rico. The agency also finalized MSSP policies including quality reporting requirements for accountable care organizations (ACOs). The Final rule makes numerous changes and additions to the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes, including new codes for moderate sedation; telehealth services for end-stage renal disease (ESRD)-related dialysis services, advance care planning services; and mammography services.

Bra Styles
Adhesive Bras
About This Style
This particular bra style has an Adhesive cup that sticks to the breast. This ingenious design allows you to wear a bra without straps or bands. This type of bra is perfect for outfits that are hard to wear, such as low back dresses or plunging necklines. Many adhesive bras have two separate cups that clip together in the middle. Pushing the two cups together creates spectacular cleavage, even for smaller cup sizes.
A proper adhesive bra will stay up and keep your breast in place. It's worth noting that in addition to molded cup adhesive bras, you also have breast lifts as a stick on bra option. These lightweight and often disposable bra accessories can help form a perkier shape when you are not wearing a bra.
Adhesive bras provide coverage and shaping rather than lift, for this reason they are best suited for small to average cup sizes. Most adhesives are sized by only cup size. It is important to remember that cup sizes will vary depending on your band size and that they may have to be adjusted to the size you need if you wear a larger or smaller band.

"Mary's Encounters"
Arthur Gordon, in his book, The Gift of Bright Encounters, says life is full of encounters. Life IS full of encounters. Some encounters are complete surprises ... some are expected some happy ... some sad and painful. We meet up with these encounters throughout life. "Encounters" ARE life. Life IS "encounters". Of one sort or another.
I had been thinking about Christmas
- the birth of Christ, Mary - when I came across Arthur Gordon's book, and his short piece about "encounters". It made me think about this "encounter" in Mary's life and how it must have affected her in so many ways. Mary, being the birth-mother of the Son of God is, of course, honored, loved and remembered for just that: being chosen to give birth to the Son of God. But, I often think of Mary from another perspective. I think about the difficulty her pregnancy must have been for her ... not so much physically, though that may have been hard, too. But emotionally. This wasn't, after all, your usual way of getting pregnant; and then, of course, there was the fact of not yet being married. This was definitely an encounter for Mary - one of those unexpected encounters.
In the Bible (NKJV) we read, in Luke 1:18: "...After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit."
"Betrothed", within the Jewish community, was an engagement - a binding marriage contract; not to be taken lightly. It could only be broken by divorce ... it was a binding contract even though the couple had not yet been sexually intimate. It was almost as important as the actual, final marriage itself. The more important word to note, in the verse above, even more than the word "betrothed", is "before" ... BEFORE she and Joseph ever had any physical intimacy - here she was pregnant. How many people do you think believed THAT ?!
The good news for Mary was that Joseph had finally popped the question. The maybe-hard-to-take-news was that she had to wait a whole year before the official "I do's", and the honeymoon. Within that year there was to be no hanky-panky with Joseph, and certainly not with any other man. And there wasn't.
Encounters. Yes, life IS full of them. Mary's betrothal to Joseph was seemingly one of those happy encounters. Life was good. She was engaged to a good man. She would make plans for their future together as she waited out her year of betrothal. All was good.
Encounters. This betrothal was surely one of those "happy encounters" the author, Arthur Gordon, wrote of. He said that some unpleasant encounters fade away in our memory while "some of the pleasant surprises remain vivid for years."
However, says our author, "Abruptly, circumstances arrange themselves that the commonplace becomes the significant and the routine the memorable - so memorable that perhaps it changes you for the rest of your life."
Mary's betrothal would change her life, for sure. The young virgin would become a newly-wed and take on the responsibilities of marriage. The "routines" of betrothals in Mary's village had become VERY "significant and memorable", very personal, to her now. A happy, life-changing encounter.
And then. Oh, and then. And then another of life's encounters for Mary. This is where I think maybe this wasn't so easy for her.
Matthew tells us in Matthew 1:18 (b) (NKJV): "before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit."
"Usually," said our author in his book, "a truly memorable encounter involves someone else."
Well, THIS encounter DID involve someone else. But, come on, who'd believe that Mary, this very human Mary, was pregnant because of the Holy Spirit? Can't we just imagine the whispers and the disapproving glances towards Mary after her friends, neighbors and even family learned she was pregnant? An angel messenger, Mary? Sure, sure. The Holy Spirit, Mary? Right. Oh, come on- really! You expect us to believe that?
Mary herself must have had some doubts as to what was real because she asked the announcing angel, Gabriel, in Luke 1:34 (NKJV): "...How can this be, since I do not know a man?" "Know", as in the sense of having had a sexual encounter with someone. She knew how babies were made, and she knew she had NOT done anything to make a baby! Wouldn't she, too, have been wondering how she was going to explain this to Joseph? (Fortunately for her, God provided Joseph with his own encounters, so he would understand that Mary was being truthful; that the child she carried was, indeed, the Messiah; that she had not cheated on him.)
Yes, I often think of the difficulties, humanly speaking, that Mary must have faced, at least for a time, when she found herself unmarried and pregnant. I can't help thinking that it was a sticky situation that Mary found herself in.
However, her character - her belief in and love for God ... her obedience to Him up to that point, was constant and strong. So much so that probably after the initial shock, the this-is-not-happening-to-me feelings pass, she was STILL open to God. Trusting Him. Open to His messenger and the message that she was truly the one chosen from among the other women to give birth to the Messiah. She could believe and accept because she had BEEN believing and accepting God's will all along.
In Luke 1:38 (NKJV) we read: "Then Mary said, 'Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to Your word.' "
She believed. She accepted. She didn't try to escape the situation, even knowing, surely, that there would be all that gossip about her in the village.
Another encounter. A memorable encounter. Oh, Mary, THIS one would SO change your life. And the lives of many others.
Our author, Arthur Gordon, said, "Afterward (after an encounter) you know that you have learned something valuable - something that can't always be described exactly, or measured, or fully explained. But something."
Mary must have felt somewhat like that. Maybe she couldn't quite put her finger on what was happening. Maybe she was still not quite believing, for a time, that it was happening. Until. Until she did believe. Until she saw what a great and memorable encounter in her life this was.
"Afterward, you know that you have learned something valuable..." said the author.
And Mary did.
"My soul magnifies the Lord," she said, "and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior." (Luke 1:46 & 47 / NKJV)
With this amazing, memorable encounter Mary learned, once again, that God keeps His promises. That He promised the Messiah would come - that the Messiah would be born on earth of a virgin mother. Humanly impossible, Mary knew. Yet, with this memorable life encounter she saw God keeping the promise made way back in Isaiah.
Isaiah 7:14 (NKJV): "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel."
Our author ended his piece with: "When one of these luminous encounters takes place, most people feel an impulse to preserve it, somehow. Some try to keep a tangible reminder: a flower, a photograph, a handkerchief, perhaps. A writer tries to preserve it in words."
Thankfully, God allowed writers to preserve in words Mary's "luminous encounter" - the great encounter in her life that resulted in the greatest Gift to mankind: salvation through Jesus Christ.
Merry Christmas. May we all be privileged to face some "luminous encounters" in our lives, especially as we move through this month, celebrating the birth of the Holy Child whom Mary bore.

People Are Searching for How to Cast Out Demons – I'm Here to Help with DeliveranceOn May 27, 2010 Demons and Evil Spirits 3 Comments Tags: Addictions, Casting Out Demons, Deliverance, Demons, End Times, Expelling Demons
Before God called me to cast out demons, I had no idea how widespread the need was. People in all countries worldwide need deliverance from evil spirits and demons, and they're finding me to ask for help.
Before I could help others to expel demons, I had to receive help myself (but that is another story for another time). Now, God has charged me to help cleanse people by deliverance so that they can make their own choices about accepting Christ (something they can't earnestly do while under demonic influence).
Just in the short time since we launched this site, the web searches that have brought people to Dangerous But Good are very telling. People are searching for
- how to cast out demons
- contact information for people who can cast out demons
- how to expel spirits of addiction
- casting out spirits of drug and alcohol addiction
- how cigarette addictions are caused by demonic influence
…and so much more. It is clear that demonic forces are increasing their efforts and stepping it up a notch now since we are living in the end times. People everywhere know they need help, and the time is now.
Are you troubled by evil spirits or demons? You don't have to live this way any more. Jesus Christ gives us authority over the unclean spirits!
Help is completely free. Read my book for free, which tells you everything you need to know.

Bucharest International Dance Film FestivalProfile: Film Festival Task: Logo, Visual Identity
A film festival dedicated to the art of movement, captured and created in various creative, beautiful ways. But a film festival non-the-less. This was the middle ground that this logo had to fill. Indicating a festival dedicated to film, about movement.
The logo has also set out to be constructed as timeless as possible, averting trends and hinting the movement in a minimal way. Making the logo in this fashion makes it possible to associate it with all movies in the festival or want to get into it.

Instructor: D. Marshall, Professor of History and Coordinator of the Canadian Network on Humanitarian History
Global and transnational perspectives highlight the interconnectedness of all historical processes. They change the way we understand many ideas that currently circulate in global and international studies. We tend to tell stories about the world's history by using local, national, or at best regional, accounts of the past. This has given us highly distorted images of how we got where we are today. What we once thought were unique and disconnected features of "our" (national) societies are, it turns out, anything but.
This course will help you discover the central concepts of Global, Transnational and World histories. It will show the exciting developments of the last 20 to 30 years that have dramatically overturned many of historians' traditional ways of conceiving of the past and present. Many of today's debates are not novel: from the gap between rich and poor under neoliberal globalization to the destruction of the planetary environment, the "universality" of humanitarian and human rights norms and the frequency and intensity of interstate conflicts. They're not even new to the Twentieth Century.
This course tackles the practical consequences of shifting our way of understanding the most pressing issues of today. Political and economic decisions are based on beliefs about how societies came to be, how material forces and ideas have driven human activity. What if understandings of the global past changed?
This course takes a series of issues that are central to our modern condition—indigenous travels, globalization and economic imperialism, human rights and humanitarianism, colonialism and anti-colonialism, international conflict and law, transnational sexuality, environmental transformations, cosmopolitanism and identity—and interrogate them from across time and space. Above all the very categories of "national," "international," "transnational," "world," and "global" history will be evaluated and tested against historical evidence.
Class Format
The class meets two times 80 minutes a week. The precise format will vary between seminar discussions, workshops in the humanitarian collections of Carleton Archives and Research Collections, virtual seminars with fellow history students of the course of Soenke Kunkel at the John F. Kennedy Institute for North American Studies of the Free University of Berlin
experimentations with digital methods conducive to transnational reflections, interviews with guest speakers and visits to close by events and exhibitions.
Requirements and Assignments
Students will prepare a series of small assignments on one theme of their choice. This will lead to a final project in a format of their choice: research paper ; book review essays; podcasts, historical map; digital network; or website.
The weekly seminar readings will come from Pierre-Yves Saunier, Transnational History (2013), and Glenda Sluga and Patricia Clavin , eds. Internationalisms. A Twentieth Century History (2016).
Prerequisite(s): a 2000-level history course or third-year standing and 1.0 credit in history including at least 0.5 credit in Field d courses (Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America). This course is mandatory for all Global History Specialization students in BGInS, but it is of course open to all students who meet the prerequisite.

Pedro Carmona
|Pedro Carmona
|Pedro Francisco Carmona Estanga
6 July 1941
Pedro Carmona (born 6 July 1941) is a former Venezuelan business leader who was briefly installed as President of Venezuela on 12 April 2002 in place of Hugo Chávez, following the attempted military coup in April 2002. As soon as he was sworn in, Pedro Carmona signalled his intention to end to Venezuela's close relations under Chávez to Cuba, Libya and the Non-Aligned Movement.[1]
Pedro Carmona had taken power for just 48 hours after violent anti-government protests resulted in 17 deaths. He fled to the Colombian ambassador's residence in Caracas after a court ordered him to be transferred to prison.[2] News that he had been granted political asylum came in a short statement from the Colombian foreign ministry, released on the same night as right-winger Alvaro Uribe was elected President of Colombia.[3]

|Four centuries of White Supremacy in Venezuela by those who identify their ancestors as European came to an end with the 1998 election of Hugo Chávez, who won with the overwhelming support of the Mestizo majority. This turn away from White Supremacy continues under Nicolás Maduro, Chavez's chosen successor, who was re-elected in 2018 for a second six-year term.

At the risk of people shouting 'baah-humbug' at me can I be the first (?) to complain about the sun?
And no, I don't mean the paper of that name but that 'burning ball of gas' that was much in evidence earlier this week.
Now I realise straight away that criticising the sun is a dangerous game – indeed it is somewhat blasphemous to many. I often think that it is virtually a criminal offence in the UK to say you don't like The Beatles or Shakespeare and for many people not enjoying a full-on heat wave is considered equally unacceptable. Indeed, I can imagine pseudo-orange people tutting away as we speak . . .
Now don't get me wrong, I love the theory of the sun. When you're driving home from work in the pouring rain on a November evening, you dream of days such as we experienced this week but, just as you occasionally desire a cream cake and then feel sick five minutes after eating it, I often feel let down when it all really hots up.
Maybe it's because I'm a pasty-faced Englishman who would need six months in the Caribbean to even go a tiny bit Caramac-coloured but I just don't get other people's obsession with wanting to be as baked as possible.
It is a bit like going into an Indian restaurant and hearing macho people say "I want the hottest thing on the menu". I'm the kind of guy that just looks at them, shakes my head and asks for a Korma (left).
The main problem is that when it is really hot, I find I can't bear to be inside but then I can't bear to be outside either.
I've been lucky enough to have a number of nice exotic holidays abroad in the past and for me, the real luxury is to have my face covered in a book, my body covered in cream and preferably an umbrella covering me completely. As I sit there on my safe and secure perch, I look at men and women sizzling and just think: why, oh why?
Personally, if I was ever asked the question by Mother Nature, I would on your behalf (although I suspect you wouldn't thank me) gladly exchange a pleasant, warm climate throughout the whole year for our crazy weather with its occasional heatwave which we saw at the weekend (and which apparently is coming back in burn-making spades in the summer).
However, as I'm a glass half-full type of person I admit I can see some advantages that the sun brings.
Firstly, it seems to be the only weather that allows you to be as lazy as you want at home because, frankly, no-one can be bothered to do anything and so they can't even be bothered to moan at you for not lifting a sweaty finger either.
Secondly, and this is not a sexist point (honest), I really liked what Paul Merton said last week on Have I Got News For You that it seems that the women of Britain are 'solar powered' because when the sun comes out, they all look far more attractive. And to prove it's not sexist, I think the same could be said of many men (although frankly some of those who happily take off their shirts at the first opportunity could do with some advice about that).
The sun makes the beautiful people (male and female) look even more beautiful and wandering round the streets of Bath on Tuesday looked like an open air audition for Britain's Next Top Model.
So yes, the sun does have some advantages but on balance I think am one of those Brits who just don't cope with the extremes very well.
I'm moaning on here about being too hot but fear not, I'm sure in December I'll moan about being far too cold as well.
It's called being British. And in my case pasty-faced British.

Hadley is the most proactive recruiter I have dealt with in London & the UK, he lined up 3 good interviews for me after a week. He is highly approachable with a charming and friendly sense of humour.
My experience of him was that he is a genuine & integral individual and that he has an empathetic, teamwork approach. I found Hadley to be considerably open minded and I felt valued as his client.
Daniel and his team offered a faultless service from beginning to end. Crucially, Daniel took the time to understand what I value the most from an employer and job role, and was able to match myself with roles and companies that were a fit to my individual wants and needs.
The whole process felt personalised, and to me it was clear that Brandon James strive to get the right people into the right roles, putting the best interest of candidate and employer at the heart of what they do! To add to this, I was provided with some great pointers to base my interview prep on.
Daniel presented me with a number of fantastic job opportunities from his extensive client base, ensuring that the employers that he was recommending were the right fit for me. Daniel was brilliant at communicating with me throughout the entire recruitment process, being fast to respond to any queries that I raised. I would not hesitate to recommend Daniel to any professional in the construction industry who is looking for the next move in their career.
Hadley really listened to my career goals and helped me to get my dream job. Throughout the process he was always on hand to answer my questions and steady my nerves. He was very professional. I would highly recommend!
I'd like to thank you for your efforts and help during the recruitment process.
I found Damian's interview tips/guidelines sheet very useful and I appreciate the many telephone conversations we have had over the past few weeks.
I have recently secured a new position with a high profile company. Hadley listened to my requirements and was instrumental in introducing me to his contacts. I found Hadley to be very helpful and extremely professional.
Hadley was excellent in helping me find my dream role in London. His personal and tailor made approach to my needs was really refreshing! On top of all that he is truly a nice guy and I really felt like he wanted me to find a role that was the right fit for me.
I would like to extend my thanks to Damian who through his hard work and honesty allowed myself to gain a new excellent role within a global consultancy.
