Pastor David Petrie Reviews and Recommends
the Puritan Hard Drive
"I love books. When I pull Owen or Watson off the shelf, or drink deeply of Baxter while I sit by the fire, I am spoon-fed doctrines made all the more sweet by the passing centuries.
In much the same way that we stand on the shoulders of the Puritans and reap from their study, we also reap from all SWRB's work.
The folks at Still Water Revival Books have carefully assembled the most comprehensive collection of Puritan works I have ever seen.
The Puritan Hard Drive is a gold mine of all things Puritan.
This is a must have -- I am simply astonished with the sheer volume on this device! It would take me a lifetime to assemble such a library! Not to mention the audio/video collection; few people could afford all of these books -- or to add on that second library to keep them.
Thank you again for this amazing product!
The more hands we can get this collection in, the better!

2 for 1 Customer Appreciation Puritan Hard Drive Sale Guaranteed Until This WEDNESDAY (September 17, 2014) At 11:59PM (ET)
Recently, our 2 for 1 Puritan Hard Drive (PHD) Super Sale started as a way to reduce excess inventory. However, we have been so moved by the outpouring of big-hearted Christian generosity and kindness (some even buying two PHDs for others, while not even buying one for themselves), from the many people who used the 2 for 1 sale to obtain Puritan Hard Drives for others in need (who often could not afford a PHD themselves, though they have desired to obtain the PHD for some time), that we have decided to renew the 2 for 1 sale one more time, until this WEDNESDAY at 11:59PM (ET). Some people have also asked us for a little more time and we know some people are still on the fence about this purchase, so, Lord willing, this will be helpful to everyone in these positions.
We also believe our Lord would have us do this, to get more of His truth around, to bless more of His people and to bring more declarative glory to His great name (all by His grace) -- as we are able to get many more Puritan Hard Drives into the hands of those who need them most with a 2 for 1 offer. Moreover, after all the soul stirring testimonies of rejoicing we have heard in conjunction with the 2 for 1 offer (from both buyers and receivers of free Puritan Hard Drives), we would like to give everybody one more chance to take part in this blessedness from our Lord -- because "It is more blessed to give than to receive." (Acts 20:35).
The 2-for-1 PHD offer is not retroactive and other discount coupons are not valid for this offer.

Six Things A CMO Should Know About Real-Time Bidding
by Chris Sukornyk on Oct 18, 1:14 PM
Number one: fact from fiction. Real-time bidding (RTB) refers to a way to buy display media ads. Instead of the traditional method of buying a block of impressions on a site or ad network, RTB is about the automatic buying of individual impressions. By removing a lot of wasted ad impressions from the media spend, RTB creates more efficient media buying, driven by value-based individual targeting. RTB is now commonplace, with agencies and marketers directly doing so for both direct-response and brand campaigns.

The Other Side Of RTB: Programmatic Selling
by Mike Leo on Oct 11, 3:49 AM
Every Monday, we send out a digest of digital advertising "must reads" chosen from the week before. Our "Mashup" team gets together in a conference room the preceding Friday, and each member brings an article he or she thinks belongs in the final product. The group vets these together. A few weeks ago when the articles were sorted, one was left on the chopping block. Its title: "How Real-Time Bidding Works." A real debate stirred up in the room. "This is far too basic for our audience," argued one member of the team. "No, I think it's a good one," ...

Viewability May Save Display From Itself
by Christopher Hansen on Oct 4, 10:06 PM
Display advertising is a mainstay for digital marketers, but the necessity of scale and the glut of available inventory have made it practically impossible for buyers to not only see where their ads run, but determine whether or not consumers saw those ads as well. While the ecosystem is aware of these flaws, it's proven truly unwilling to change its ways. It's almost in need of an intervention. Luckily, a growing focus on viewability may bring about the change this industry needs, with publishers themselves making a concerted effort to improve their ads.

The UFC announced on Thursday that it would be heading to Singapore on Jan. 4, 2014, as part of its long-awaited Asian expansion. The venue has previously been confirmed as being Marina Bay Sands, which has a capacity of 5,000.
No fights have been confirmed at present.
Mark Fischer, the UFC's Managing Director of Asia, says that Jan. 4 will be the first of many dates where fans in Asia will get a glimpse of the Octagon next year.
More MMA
"This marks a bold step for UFC's expansion in Asia and is the first of a series of events in Asia planned for 2014. After kicking off the year in Singapore, our fans can expect several other UFC events around the region on the docket next year, including two more fights at the Venetian's Cotai Arena in Macau."
Singapore is ONE FC's backyard and Asia's biggest MMA promotion has put on four shows at the 12,000-capacity Singapore Indoor Stadium with another booked for Oct. 18, but Fischer believes fight fans in the former British colony will welcome the UFC.
"We know many fans in Singapore and Southeast Asia have been waiting to experience the excitement of a live UFC event and this will certainly be a great springboard for our continued development in this part of the world."
The UFC also plans to return to Tokyo where it has held one event per year for the past two years. Dana White also confirmed this week that Manila was also on the agenda for 2014, as well as China with a Mandarin language version of TUF scheduled to start filming in November.

I live in south east asia and I am very excited about the UFC coming over, however it is a shame to rain on one fc parade. They have just got a foothold in the area and the UFC gets one whiff of that and decides to attack in there home city. I knew it would happen just not so soon. I suppose its the same with every other industry, big guys taking over the small guys.
could work to their advantage. ufc comes in and holds an event and gets lots of attention, but they won't be doing consistent shows volume-wise. might leave the fans wanting more and just strengthen onefc as the premier local circuit.
But it doesn't work that way. UFC is trying to get Asia to watch their product. Just like when the EPL tours there. Fans then would rather watch the superior product on tv over their own domestic league. One FC will look inferior to UFC and that will hurt their rep in Asia. UFC coming to conquer and ONEFC will get squashed. They are small fries and Asian fans have no loyalty to them.
but they do have loyalty to pride rules, that's one of their major selling points.
The combined rules which OneFC has adapted has created more entertainment and excitements in their shows, which is the heart of fighting. Fans prefer this regardless of the name of the organization. UFC may be a bigger name but not necessary better entertainment, since they only followed the unified rule of MMA. This restricts knees to an opponent on the ground or an opponent had a hand on a mat. No stomps being allowed. This is why you see more grappling, holding, and rolling between two persons. This can be hard to watch over a period of over 2 mins, serving two persons grinding up and down, top and bottom of the same sex.

Cicada Year. After 17 years of waiting around, members of the genus Magicicada emerge en masse from underground, shed their skin, mate, and die, all within the span of a few weeks in late spring/early summer. 2013 is the year for Brood II, the group in the greater NY/NJ area.
17 years is a long time; the way they throw their heads back, stretch their wings, and signal victory (see fig. 9-13 above, also this youtube video) is not unlike that one part in The Shawshank Redemption.
In 1996, the last Cicada Year, I was a freshman in high school in suburban New Jersey. I was nearing the end of a semester in which I took Biology for the first time – a class which I loved, and I didn't so much love as tolerate classes in high school. When the cicadas emerged, we marched out to the woods behind the "new" building (usually more the domain of weed smoking than science) to observe and collect them as a class - as much an excuse to go outside as an impromptu lesson. We then, of course, killed and dissected them, because that's just What You Do in Freshman Bio, Damn It, opportunistically or no.
I remember the sounds of their mating calls pulsing from the trees through the end of that school year. Their discarded exoskeletons would crunch under my feet as I crossed driveways and parking lots, the early summer heat reflecting back in waves from the asphalt. Dads would point leafblowers at them, herding them into neat piles in corners. Dead ones did lazy laps in crappy above-ground pools, backlit by aqua colored light. They were everywhere, and I guess they will be again. They've probably earned it.
Hello old friends, I knew your parents.

Remix: 'Team Gato' – Chrono Trigger
Posted by admin | Posted in Arrangements, Music | Posted on 04-04-2001-05-2008
Mustin and I got together to take this less than half a minute song from Chrono Trigger and make it a full blown audio experience. There's singing, sound effects, and unnecessary rap lyrics involved.
Link: "Team Gato"
Release Date: April 4, 2001
Original Name: "Gato's Theme"
Game: Chrono Trigger, Super Nintendo, 1995
Composer: Yasunori Mitsuda
Links: Overclocked Remix
Equipment Used: Roland XP-80, Cakewalk
Notes: As embarrassing as this is now, it still stands as one of the most popular things that Mustin and I have worked on. And, as always, I'm the girl voices.


text: With so much attention focused on the events in Syria not much has been done to explain to the American citizens that the financial bailouts of 2008, the two long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, our trade agreements and current governmental policies all have rendered the United States severely handicapped in meeting the financial obligations that many citizens count on, like Social Security, EBT cards and even Medicare and Medicaid. A recent statistic pointed to one of the most disturbing facts in America today and that is four out of five Americans are just one paycheck away from falling into the cataclysm of financial devastation the likes of which they will probably never recover. It has been the callousness of the Federal government along with it's accomplices, corporate America that have stolen the American Dream from Americans. With policies, treaties, unfunded mandates, and laws over the past 35 years have reshaped the economic landscape of the United States so that today the reality is to horrific even to contemplate. Yet, here we are in povertyville USA.

You know, I love your regular style, but this is really, really gorgeous, and probably one of my favorite pieces of yours. The colors just work so beautifully and CT looks fantastic in your style.

I pretty much only watch 480p files due to my computer's poor specs. In fact, I usually have to convert files to be playable on my PSP or PS3 for technical reasons.
Hey, I was just trying to get a feel for this new Hi10p thing these fansubbers are starting to use more and more of. I like the idea behind it, better quality anime at a lower file size. However, my computer is low end, running an AMD Athalon 64 TF-20 processor and Ati Radeon HD3200 Graphics, it seems that the better quality stuff is just out of my reach.
Anyways, I wanted to see if anybody likes Hi10p, and stuff...
I pretty much only watch 480p files due to my computer's poor specs. In fact, I usually have to convert files to be playable on my PSP or PS3 for technical reasons.
Well, if its better, whats not to like? The only problem is as you said, if your pc cant handle it...
Yes, I love it also.
I had some strange display issues at first, then I realized how out of date my CCCP was.
I updated it and now it looks better than ever.
EDIT: Also, a lot of fan-subers release different resolutions and quality.
So I don't see the problem.

I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.
Depending on the encode and what your using to play it you can get by using DXVA to do the video decoding and take the load off the cpu. My old HD3850 supported h264 decoding on the card I would assume yours could too.
DXVA saved my ass on an old AMD 3200+ socket 754 at 2.22Ghz
Ohh and as for CCCP they keep ****ing the default settings around every release so it might have DXVA enabled by default now ( It wasnt in the past ).
Last edited by RBRat3; 02-21-2012 at 09:27 PM.
I believe that even with a crap PC, while using VLC Media Player you can watch Hi10p videos with minimal CPU usage. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Well from a bland point you will not get a 1080p regardless of format to soft decode smoothly on a single core (overlay subs add hell into that mix) without any modification or change in decoder although a good ol' overclocked P4 "Could" pull it off.
Last edited by RBRat3; 02-21-2012 at 09:27 PM.
Too bad Hi10p hasn't made a significant difference in the quality of anime nor has it made a significant difference in file size.
I did manage to get the minis to play on an old Panasonic toughbook with a 399mhz mobile celeron and 128mb of ram using core AVC as the decoder in MPC, It was pretty cute XD
Wow, so much of this is going over my head.
I don't really worry about video quality above 720p because my laptop can't handle 1080p and I use my tv as a monitor for my desktop and my v is just a small 720 set.
I've never had any trouble running high res files on any of my computers, even my old 1ghz p3 runs them fine

On December 12, 2008, I'll be in New Orleans to talk about the exciting world of Drupal Search. In a first-of-its-kind event, the Lullabots have organized a "large-scale, 3-day learning event" that will bring together some of Drupal's most sought after speakers, as well as a number of other prominent internet personalities and luminaries. I'm looking forward to meeting some of the speakers who aren't necessarily known as Drupal rockstars (meaning they did something else to get famous):
I've been working on the Drupal security team for over three years now. My current role is coordinator of the security team and that means I help to coordinate when releases happen, review security announcements, recruit new members, and review inactive members. The Drupal security team has a highly competent group of developers and they do a good job self organizing and getting security releases out the door. If they get stuck, I may step in and help rally the team or work through some of the non-code issues involved in getting security releases out the door.
As we've seen time and again, in an increasing number of enterprise software categories, open source has become a promising alternative to commercial software. But there's no free ride.
Support from developers is often problematic, and you need to find products with a large enough following so that programmers have an incentive to build add-on modules. When the Test Center reviewed open source CMSes (content management systems), these two factors often broke the tie between otherwise robust solutions and gave Alfresco the advantage.
Yet if you take support out of the equation, Drupal emerges as the better solution for many enterprise Web projects. That's because this social publishing solution starts with a mature Web CMS, adds a blog system, and then offers discussion forms, community features, and extensibility through 1,800 add-on modules – many of them also open source. Given this flexibility, it's not surprising that Drupal powers about 250,000 live sites – including big names such as Federal Express, The Onion, and Popular Science.
But big organization or small, there's a dark side to Drupal: You'll probably need the services of an experienced support staff or a costly consultancy that has mastered a complex setup and knows how to assemble all the building blocks into a workable system. Now, for those with limited resources, Acquia is stepping in with a commercially supported Drupal distribution along with a network that delivers patches and security updates.
It's political season here in the United States, and that means it's rumor time. Research has shown that if we are exposed to information as little as eight times we are more likely to believe it. Logic, facts, reason don't necessary apply to our human brains. Political strategist know this, marketers know this and they can use it in influencing you. Journalists know this too.
I spent most of the day yesterday reading and participating in Drupal.org threads, blog posts, press articles, forum threads, Twitter feeds, and IRC transcripts of full of conversation about our new product and service offerings. Here are a few of my favorites:
Press Articles
New software bundle, tech support, and network services help developers assemble and operate Web 2.0 sites with confidence on the open source Drupal social publishing system
In the Drupal community we have a saying talk is silver and code is gold. For over a year now, members of Acquia have been both talking and coding, and I think it's time to bring some of this to light. In future posts I'll also highlight Acquia involvemnet in Drupal code sprints and other Drupal events, but for now I'll just focus on code.
At the Linuxworld 2008 conference, Drupal developer Barry Jaspan discusses Drupal, development, and the recent formation of Acquia, a software and services company for Drupal. This interview explores the functioning of Drupal and how its development will be complemented by Acquia.
Here's a video of some Drupal showcase sites. I know there are a bunch more out there. Here's a list of resources for find more Drupal education sites provided by Bill Fitzgerald:http://groups.drupal.org/node/8136http://groups.drupal.org/node/11258http://groups.drupal.org/node/5309
In addition, these university Library sites could also do double-duty:http://groups.drupal.org/node/13473
Wow, what a weekend.
I got up around 4:30AM Saturday morning to fly to Los Angeles. My new colleague Brenda Boggs, from the Acquia support team, was kind enough to pick me up at LAX on her way to Drupalcamp LA from San Diego.
Two weeks earlier I met with Crystal Williams, one of the co-organizers of Drupalcamp Los Angeles, in San Francisco. Drupalcamp LA was supposed to be around 200 people. However, it had blown up to 430 registered attendees. Crystal had asked me to present one of the keynotes and now I had to stare out at 400+ people before I had my second cup of coffee!
We offer many tools and services to help you succeed with Drupal, learn more and get started for free.

DHS CFO Sherry heading to the IRS
Wednesday - 10/23/2013, 12:30pm EDT
The Homeland Security Department's CFO is heading to the IRS, the agency confirms.
Sherry will be the deputy commissioner for operations support, replacing Beth Tucker, who retired at the end of September.
Peggy Sherry
"Peggy brings a strong track record and a diverse set of skills that will help her with this critical IRS leadership position," said acting IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel in a release. "Her expertise inside different government agencies on a wide portfolio of projects, coupled with her background in accounting, will work well heading the Operations Support organization."
In her new role, Sherry will direct IRS' support functions, including the CFO, human capital office, information technology, privacy and agencywide shared services.
The deputy commissioner is one of the top two positions at the IRS under the service's commissioner.
She becomes the fourth senior official to join the agency this year. Werfel became the acting commissioner in May after the scandal involving the IRS improperly singling out conservative groups for special scrutiny.
Todd Grams joined in June as the chief of staff and David Fisher joined in May as the chief risk officer.
Sherry joined DHS as the director of financial management in 2007, rose to be deputy CFO in 2008 and CFO by April 2012. Under her leadership, DHS received its first full-scope qualified audit opinion in 2012, and officials are hopeful the agency will receive its first unqualified audit opinion in 2013.
During her tenure, DHS continued to struggle to create a consolidated financial management system out of 13 separate systems. It now is on the path to modernize specific systems to act as shared service providers for the rest of the agency.
DHS said Chip Fulghum, the agency's budget director, will serve as interim CFO until a new one is named.
Planning, performance measures put DHS on solid financial footing
DHS's lack of financial clarity a huge liability

Apple gets closer to Intel with Silverthorne plans
Summary: The Mac maker will be deepening its alliance with Intel and plans to roll out mobile devices based on the upcoming Silverthorne processor, according to reports
Apple is forming closer ties with Intel and will begin to roll out a variety of devices based on an upcoming Intel processor that has been designed to work with mobile devices, according to reports.
According to Apple Insider, Apple is planning to use the processor, code-named Silverthorne, in multiple products "currently situated on its 2008 calendar year product roadmap". Silverthorne is central to Intel's efforts to capture a greater share of the mobile-device market.
Apple Insider claims that the most likely candidates for Silverthorne are a 3G iPhone and any new tablet computer.
The inclusion of an Intel processor in the much-hyped iPhone would in some ways mark a change of heart for Apple.
Last year, Intel's director of Team Apple, Deborah Conrad, ruled out putting an Intel processor inside Apple's iPod. "I don't think you're going to see anything soon," Conrad told reporters. But when it came to future devices, Conrad added: "That's where we get very, very excited."
Intel plans to release more details of Silverthorne at the Intenational Solid State Circuits Conference in February.
Apple could offer no comment on the reports at the time of writing.

Republicans at their national convention in Tampa on Tuesday approved what they have dubbed the party's "most conservative platform in modern history," a manifesto that calls for constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage and abortion in all cases, and aligns with presidential nominee Mitt Romney's plans to lower tax rates, reverse defense cuts, and take Medicare to the private insurance market.
The GOP platform has generated uncommon interest this year — more, even, than Thursday night's acceptance speech by Romney, according to a Pew Research Center poll. The strict abortion plank made headlines last week, though it has changed little since 1984, because of the uproar in both parties over remarks by Representative Todd Akin of Missouri.

Kuwait City: Al Qadsia grabbed a slender lead in their AFC Cup semi-final against Jordanian champions Al Faisaly as goals in either half by Khaled al Qahtani and Mesaed Nada gave them a 2-1 victory in the first leg on Wednesday.
Al Qahtani bundled the ball in from close range just before half-time at the Peace & Friendship Stadium and Nada made up for an earlier penalty miss by adding a second in the 76th minute.
However Rodrigo De Souza struck for the visitors with an away goal with eight minutes left to set up a tantalising return match in Amman later this month.
Al Faisaly got the better of Al Qadsia in the AFC Cup group stage last year with a 2-1 win in Kuwait City but the hosts began the match in determined fashion and they deservedly took the lead with a fine team goal after 38 minute.
Bader Al Mutwa fed the ball to Saif Al Hashan who neat relayed the ball on to Rossetto. The Brazilian forward beat a defender and sent a dangerous low cross across the face of the goal towards Al Qahtani, who shot home from close range.
The hosts continued to dominate play early in the second half and they thought that they had scored a second goal in the 56th minute when Al Mutwa broke clear in the box and slid the ball past Al Faisaly goalkeeper Mohamad Shatnawi only for the goal to be disallowed for offside.
Worse was to follow for the home side six minutes later when they were awarded a penalty for Antonio Junior's foul on midfielder Talal Al Amer. Nada had converted a penalty in the quarter-final win over Al Shorta but he lost his nerve this time around and blazed his shot well over the crossbar
However, the second goal would finally arrive in the 76th minute as Saleh Al Sheikh gave the ball to Al Mutwa whose powerful shot from an acute angle on the right was blocked by the leg of goalkeeper Mohamad Shatnawi and went right to the lurking Nada, who turned the ball in.
The Kuwaiti side looked to be in a strong position for the second leg but Al Faisaly hit back through Rodrigo with a precious away goal eight minutes from time as Ra'ed Fraih beat an Al Qadsia defender before sending a low cross into the six-yard box where substitute Rodrigo had enough time to beat Nawaf Al Khaldi from close range.

The wonderful whales of Pecatonica Elementary may sound like something you'd find in an aquarium or even by a beach, but it's a first grade class. The under-the-sea theme and love for ocean life gives our Teacher of the Week, Mrs. Laura Wanke just the magic she needs to keep her students excited for learning.
"The art teacher and I teamed up, and we drew a big picture of a whale and then the spout," says Mrs. Wanke, now in her tenth year teaching. Kids laid in the spout and pretended they were being shot up out of the whale."
The creativity doesn't stop at her ocean-themed classroom. It blends into every lesson she teaches. From hat day all the way down to the candy the kids enjoy.
"We just started working on predictions, and so the other day the candy corn bandit came and took our candy, so we had to predict where he took our candy," Wanke says. "We went on a hunt around the school, and that lesson, I think, will stick with them for when we go to talk about making predictions in a book."
She shares her ideas on her teacher blog. Pictures, projects, so other teachers around the country can see how her whale of a classroom keeps on swimming, sharing her passion for teaching along the way.
"I actually made my mom be my student, and I had my smurf chalkboard and she was my student, and teachers would throw away extra worksheets and books," Wanke says. "I would steal them. I always wanted to be a teacher."
She says the Teacher of the Week award just adds to the love she already has for her students and her days in the classroom.
"When they send you little notes or say good things about what you're doing, it melts your heart," she says. "It makes you feel like, 'Oh I really am doing something good here."

Gloucester Township Council on Monday agreed to move forward with the purchase of a vehicle that would allow police to move more quickly in the event of a school shooting.
Police Chief W. Harry Earle met with Council during its work session Monday night to discuss the new SWAT vehicle.
The Lenco armored police rescue vehicle will cost roughly $250,000, Business Administrator Tom Cardis said. It will be purchased using both unused capital improvement funds from prior years, going back to 2007, and proceeds from drug forfeiture cases.
Earle referenced recent meetings with Mayor David Mayer on school security in the township in the wake of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT.
"This vehicle would be used by our Special Response, or SWAT, team and would be used during all of their tactical operations," the police chief said. "It's an armored rescue vehicle that would enable them to approach locations safely and evacuate injured officers, injured civilians."
Council must first approve an ordinance allowing the township to use unexpended capital funds. That ordinance will likely be heard on second reading and adopted at Council's Jan. 28 meeting.
"An armored vehicle like this would help better assist the police department in moving forward into a dangerous area without getting police or other people injured," Council President Glen Bianchini said.
No Camden County municipality has such a vehicle at this moment, Earle said.
Correction: This article, as initially published on Jan. 10, erroneously indicated Council would not consider the ordinance to use unexpended capital funds on second reading until Feb. 11.

Book Analysis Summary
The books I chose for my analysis were The Peep Diaries: How We're Learning to Love Watching Ourselves and Our Neighbors, by Hal Niedzviecki, and Camgirls: Celebrity and Community in the Age of Social Networks by Theresa M. Senft. Both books gave vastly different arguments about the topic of privacy and identity. Senft's book discussed the reality of feminism being tied into the actions of many women who broadcast themselves in an effort to fight against the patriarchal traditions set in place. Niedzviecki instead argues against the societal behaviors that justify our need to share information in order to connect with other human beings. Both books offer a great insight into the complex nature of privacy and identity. Both are great reads and offer an in depth perspective on privacy in today's world.

Science Alternatives
Main Information
What are the alternatives to R&D?
Science Communication
The communication of science to public audiences, politicians, journalists, educators, and so on, is a broad sector of employment. In recent years there has been an increase in scientific media coverage, and a push by the scientific community and policy-makers to involve more of the public through 'Science and Society' initiatives. These include the development of major, new science visitor attractions, alongside running focus groups, media campaigns and science festivals.
Job roles include science journalism, public relations, museum education, events organisation and project management. Some Masters courses in Science Communication are on offer, but the key to breaking into this sector is to gain some relevant communications experience and network extensively. Whilst at Oxford, there are opportunities to get involved in science outreach activities in some Departments, volunteer in museums, write for University publications, enter science writing competitions, etc. If you are serious about science communication, make sure you sign up to the psci-com mailing list – details given in the web sites list at the end of this briefing. Through this list and a variety of related Twitter feeds you can quickly hear about jobs, internships and volunteering opportunities in the sector.
The European Commission's Directorate-General for Research & Innovation has produced a lengthy Guide to Science Journalism Training. The guide contains an inventory of the training courses in science journalism across 27 of the member states of the European Union, as well as exchange programmes, scholarships and other initiatives supporting science journalism.
The PDF of the 2010 edition is available on the Europa website.
Check out our other Career Briefings on Public Relations and Arts & Heritage for other hints and tips on this area of work.
Science Publishing
Science, Medical and Technical Publishing (STM) continues to thrive in the UK and despite the growth in online publishing (particularly of scientific journals), there are still opportunities in books and journals publishing, either involving production or as a technical or commissioning editor. The main publishers tend to be based in Oxford, Cambridge, London and the south coast.
Scientific publishing companies tend to advertise in publications such as New Scientist. The Royal Society of Chemistry runs a one-year graduate training scheme for those with a chemistry-related degree and Future Science Group also take on recent graduates. It is possible to get into this type of publishing without any previous publishing experience, so you can apply directly for roles as they arise, or make speculative applications to publishers. Atwood Tate is a recruitment agency for the publishing industry which often advertises scientific and medical publishing roles. Having gained a number of years' experience, it is possible to become freelance in this type of employment.
Science Policy
In this area scientists draw upon their knowledge and understanding of science to inform and assist in policy formulation. Typical employers would be scientific professional bodies, e.g. Royal Society, Institute of Physics, and public sector organisations, e.g. the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST).
Internationally, many of the issues coming before the European Parliament, for example, have a scientific or technological theme. They may be proposals directly relating to research or innovation policy, or measures concerning the many ways in which science and technology impact on society, the economy or the environment. Consult the Europa web site for details of traineeships and links to the websites of individual institutions, bodies and agencies. Other websites such as Eurobrussels.com show a wide range of policy-related opportunities in Europe.
The few entry-level opportunities in this sector tend to be advertised in the New Scientist, The Times Higher and the Guardian. Campaign for Science and Engineering (CaSE) also publicise some opportunities via their web site. Networking and speculative approaches to employers for work experience may also be helpful to get a foot in the door. POST offers some three-month fellowship schemes for PhD students.
Universities have become increasingly successful at setting up spin-out companies to exploit the commercial potential of academic research. In Oxford we have Isis Innovation. There are sometimes opportunities for science graduates and postgraduates to work in organisations that promote this kind of activity. The Wellcome Trust has an option in this area under its Graduate Development programme.
A source of vacancies for jobs in this field is Research where jobs in research administration are advertised. It may be worth checking the members listing on the Association for Research and Industry Links (AURIL) website. The Institute of Knowledge Transfer also provides further information about this type of work.
Intellectual Property AND Patents
Intellectual property (IP) law is commonly divided into patents, trademarks, design rights, copyright, passing off, anti-counterfeiting and confidential information. Law firms that specialise in this area often recruit scientists to become trainee solicitors. Patent lawyers or agents help to secure effective protection for innovations and developments, and advise their clients on intellectual property rights. Scientists and engineers with an interest in the law may be interested in this area of work, which is covered in more detail in the Career Briefing on Patent Work.
Roles in Manufacturing
Aside from R&D, scientists work in a range of other roles in manufacturing, including quality control and assurance, product preservation and formulation, packaging and operations and production roles.
Production management, also known as operations management, is the planning, co-ordination and control of industrial processes. Most manufacturing companies have a production manager, though the actual job title will vary.
The types of employers that recruit into this area include food companies, aerospace and defence, pharmaceuticals and electronics manufacturers. On top of the technical skills this kind of job requires, there can also be a considerable amount of staff management involved.
Quality Assurance (QA) is a function that exists in the manufacturing, engineering and service industry sector. QA is a part of quality management, which focuses on providing confidence that quality requirements will be fulfilled. Quality management involves co-ordinating activities required to direct and control an organisation with regard to quality. Essential skills include communication, problem-solving, organising and planning, good numerical skills and the ability to use statistics. Understanding other work disciplines, such as engineering and science, enables you to do the job.
For details of manufacturing companies that offer graduate schemes, take a look at the General Management Career Briefing and general graduate career web sites such as Prospects and TargetJobs.
Technical Sales and Marketing
Manufacturing industries, including petrochemicals, instrumentation and speciality chemicals will employ scientists in customer-facing roles, where they can use their skills to overcome technical problems and have a better understanding of customer needs.
A particular example of this role is medical sales representatives, who provide a link between pharmaceutical companies and medical and healthcare professionals. They work with general practitioners, primary care trusts and hospitals, normally within a specific geographical area. As well as one-to-one visits, they may organise group events and make presentations to healthcare professionals. See the Career Briefing on Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology for more details.
Science Consulting AND Market Research
There are opportunities in consulting for scientists to apply their scientific background and analytical skills to solving client problems. This may involve strategic consulting for an oil company or working in a specialist consulting firm that aims to improve the output/efficiency of a manufacturing process. Other firms undertake business-to-business research, write expert market reports about topics such as pharmaceutical pricing or provide market intelligence.
Market research operates in a similar way, as it depends on the collection and interpretation of reliable information to inform large organisations about marketing strategy, and help them to test products or develop policy. For further information about the types of roles available, see the Market Research Career Briefing.
Scientific Recruitment Consultancy AND Head-hunting
Science graduates and postgraduates may be employed in specialist recruitment roles, where, for example, they may be recruiting senior people into technical roles in industries such as the pharmaceutical industry. You will be liaising between employers and potential employees and an understanding of the technical aspects of some roles can be useful in understanding client needs. Our Career Briefing on HR and Recruitment Consultancy will give you some leads about getting into this area of work.
Public Sector Roles for Scientists
The UK Civil Service recruits scientists and engineers into the Science and Engineering stream of the Graduate Fast Stream. The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) plays a vital role in promoting world-class science and innovation, supporting successful British businesses, ensuring fair and flexible markets and offering scientists and engineers a wide range of opportunities in business and policy areas. The Ministry of Defence (MOD) also recruits Fast Stream graduates, as well as the Department for Energy and Climate Change. Engineering and science graduates are also recruited into the Defence Engineering and Science Group (DESG).
The DESG is a community of 13,000 professional engineers and scientists working within MOD Civil Service to equip and support UK Armed Forces with state-of-the-art technology. The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) is the centre of scientific excellence for the Ministry of Defence and also recruits science (including natural sciences) and engineering graduates and postgraduates.
Through the Analytical Fast Stream there are opportunities in the Operational Research Fast Stream. Operational Research Services are provided in most Government departments to improve their efficiency and effectiveness. Operational Research is the application of scientific methods to management problems. Scientists are also employed in other Government departments and national agencies, such as the Food and Environment Research Agency (FERA), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), and the Forestry Commission.
Opportunities for scientists in the NHS range from biomedical science roles to medical physicists to therapy specialists. For details of the wide range of opportunities in the NHS and entry requirements, visit the NHS Careers and NHS Jobs websites.
Science Administration
The administration of scientific research can be a great way to keep in touch with the latest developments in science. This kind of role could involve administering grant applications, providing advice to potential applicants, organising the peer review of research grant applications and so on. Likely employers include the Research Councils, e.g. EPSRC, and major funding bodies like the Wellcome Trust. The Wellcome Trust has a 2-year Graduate Development Programme, with one of the options covering Funding and another Grants Management. Research experience may be a requirement for some employers, especially for roles which involve developing and maintaining contacts with the research community, e.g. university departments.
How do I get a job?
Your job search strategy will obviously vary according to the role. Familiarise yourself with some of the major employers, and find out their usual patterns of recruitment or if they have a graduate scheme. However, there are not many graduate training schemes in many of these areas. In science communication and science policy, for example, your network of contacts and work experience will be the most useful. It is often worth making speculative applications.
There is often confusion about whether you should be paid to do an internship or work experience. It will depend on your arrangement with the employer and also the status of the employer. To find out if you are entitled to be paid when undertaking work experience or an internship, visit the government's webpages on the National Minimum Wage.
The UK law protects you from discrimination due to your age, gender, race, religion or beliefs, disability or sexual orientation. For further information on the Equality Act and to find out where and how you are protected, and what to do if you feel have been discriminated against, visit the Government's webpages on discrimination.
Your personal circumstances regarding career choices, and whether you should or need to tell a potential employer about your circumstances (e.g. time out from studies owing to depression or health needs) is very personal. Although there is legislation which informs you of your rights and responsibilities, you may find it helpful to see a Careers Adviser. They can help you talk through your particular circumstances, to decide whether you wish to tell someone about your situation and issues, and – if you do decide to inform a recruiter – at what stage in the application process you might do so. Careers Advisers can also help you decide how to present your situation and potential needs effectively (often termed as disclosure). We have Careers Advisers who specialise in matters relating to disability and diversity. To arrange a discussion about your personal circumstances with a Careers Adviser, please contact our Reception Team on firstname.lastname@example.com or telephone 01865 274646.
A number of major graduate recruiters have policies and processes that are proactive in recruiting graduates from diverse backgrounds. To find out the policies and attitudes of employers that you are interested in, explore their equality and diversity policies and see if they offer 'Guaranteed Interview Schemes' (for disabled applicants) or are recognised for their policy by such indicators as 'Mindful Employer' or as a 'Stonewall's Diversity Champion'.
International students
Frequent changes to visa rules affect international students and recent graduates wishing to work in the UK. Now, non-EEA graduates are most likely to gain permission to work by being sponsored by an employer under Tier 2 of the Point Based System. DPhil students nearing completion could apply for the Tier 4 Doctorate Extension Scheme – allowing 12 months to remain in the UK to look for and start work or self-employment. For those with entrepreneurial skills and a credible business idea endorsed by Oxford, Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur) allows you an initial one-year's permission to get your business up and running, with the possibility of extending for a further year. There are more limited opportunities in other visa categories. For the most complete and up-to-date information, check Oxford University's webpages or the UK Council for International Student Affairs' website. You can also email the Oxford's Student Information and Advisory Service on email@example.com for specialist visa help.
