If you haven't started lifting weights, it may be because you have run into some of the myths about strength training. Read on to dispel these myths and to get the facts about strength training. Taking time each week to build your strength can help you live a more healthy and independent life.
Myth: Strength training is for young people only.
Fact: Nearly everyone can benefit from strength training, including the elderly. Older adults who participate in strength training programs have improved self-confidence and self-esteem, as well as more muscle mass and greater bone density. Besides making you stronger, strength training may help ease arthritis pain, improve heart health, help with weight control, and improve blood glucose control.
Myth: Strength training is for men only.
Fact: It may be even more important for women to strengthen their bones and muscles than it is for men. After menopause, women lose an average of 1 to 2 percent of their bone mass every year. Strength training can help slow this loss. It helps delay the progression of osteoporosis (a disease that causes bones to weaken). Strength training can also slow muscle loss and improve balance, which can help reduce the risk of falls.
Myth: Strength training is dangerous.
Fact: Strength training is safe as long as it is done correctly. You can learn the proper way to use weights by working with a qualified trainer at a local gym or senior center. As with any new exercise, be sure to talk with your health care provider before starting a strength-training program.
Myth: I am too weak for strength training.
Fact: Strength training can be especially helpful if your muscles are weak. It can help make you stronger and improve your balance and flexibility. No matter how weak you may feel, there are strengthening exercises for you. Start with a low weight, or even no weight—using your own body for resistance—and slowly build up as you feel stronger.
Myth: Strength training is difficult to learn.
Fact: For most people, free weights and weight machines are not difficult to master. Work with a trainer or take a class at your gym, senior citizen center, YWCA, or YMCA. Once you are comfortable using free weights, you may want to buy some to use at home.

Meringue Cupcakes With Nutella and Strawberries Recipe
These meringue-topped cupcakes hold a sweet surprise: sliced strawberries and gooey Nutella.
About the author: María del Mar Sacasa is a recipe developer, food stylist, and author of the food blog High Heels & Frijoles. Behind her girly façade lurks a truck driver's appetite. Read about her cravings and suffer through her occasional rants on Twitter @HHandFrijoles and Pinterest.
Every recipe we publish is tested, tasted, and Serious Eats-approved by our staff. Never miss a recipe again by following @SeriousRecipes on Twitter!
- Yield:makes 12 cupcakes
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:3 hours
- Baking spray
- 8 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup Nutella
- 24 strawberries, hulled and sliced
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 200°F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with baking spray, then line tin with cupcake liners and once again lightly spray tin with baking spray, making sure to coat surface of tin.
Beat whites, vinegar, and salt on medium-low speed until loosened, about 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Combine sugar and cornstarch and, with mixer running, add to bowl 1 tablespoon at a time.
Once all the sugar mixture has been added, continue mixing until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 2 minutes longer. Add vanilla and beat just until combined.
Transfer mixture to a pastry bag or large zipper-lock bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star or plain pastry tip. Pipe meringue in a circular motion, pressing tip into meringue as it pipes out, into prepared tin, mounding meringue about 1-inch above edge.
Bake cupcakes until firm and dry, about 1 1/2 hours, then, shut oven off and prop door open. Allow cupcakes to sit in oven an additional 1 hour.
Gently remove cupcakes from tins and, with a serrated knife, gently cut off tops at the point where the cupcake liner meets with the cupcake top's base.
Fill each cupcake with 2 tablespoons Nutella and 2 sliced strawberries. If desired, serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

COLUMBUS - The state's watchdog against corruption wants permission to spend $85,000 to help pay for the ongoing investigation into the investment practices of the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation.
Inspector General Tom Charles will ask the state Controlling Board at its Monday meeting to transfer the money from a fund set aside for his investigation of the scandal. The Controlling Board approves many of the more costly state government contracts.
The contracts for three outside forensic investigators -Thomas Anderson of Columbus, Forensic Consultants of Marysville, and Larry Weaver of Powell - originally called for less than $50,000 but the scope of their work continues to expand, Mr. Charles said.
"Because of the complicated nature of this investigation, their expertise is needed for an extended amount of time," Mr. Charles said in his request.
The investigators are gathering information and drafting summaries of their work, and may testify before grand juries, among other duties, according to Mr. Charles' request.

Cerebellar damage disrupts movement coordination. Actions ranging from walking to reaching become inaccurate and difficult to control, resulting in poor functional movements. Therapeutic approaches for cerebellar motor disorders, or 'ataxia,'rely heavily on rehabilitation since there are no medications that systematically improve movement coordination. Rehabilitation is limited by the fact that cerebellar damage dramatically disrupts motor learning (i.e. the ability to learn movements through trial-and-error practice). Recently, we discovered that people with cerebellar damage can show motor learning, but only when the errors driving learning are small and gradual. It is also known that non-invasive stimulation of the brain can improve motor learning in healthy subjects. In this project, we will work to understand whether use of gradual learning strategies and non-invasive brain stimulation can improve learning of movement coordination of people with cerebellar damage. We will study both reaching and walking movements.
In aim 1, we will test whether (a) the learning benefit associated with gradual learning is due to the small error size or due to the subject's lack of explicit awareness of error;(b) whether we can use gradual learning to teach people with cerebellar damage to correct their specific reaching deficits, and (c) whether gradual learning benefits extend to walking, which would imply a general brain mechanism for this type of learning.
In aim 2 we will use transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to test whether gradual motor learning is more associated with increased excitability in primary motor cortex, whereas learning from large and abrupt errors is more associated with increased excitability in the cerebellum.
In aim 3, we will determine whether non-invasive, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of different brain regions can augment motor learning in people with cerebellar damage. In sum, an increased understanding of the mechanisms of motor learning could lead to important changes in rehabilitation treatments for people with ataxia from cerebellar damage. Our overarching goal is to provide a scientific foundation for devising new rehabilitation strategies.
Cerebellar damage causes poor movement control and an ability to learn to improve movement. We will work to understand whether use of gradual learning strategies and non-invasive brain stimulation can improve motor learning and thus, coordination of people with cerebellar damage. If true, these approaches could be translated into novel and effective rehabilitation strategies.

Red ceramic poppies spill from Tower of London
- Article by: DANICA KIRKA
- Associated Press
- August 5, 2014 - 12:50 PM
LONDON — A blood-red sea of ceramic poppies is spilling from the Tower of London to commemorate British and Commonwealth soldiers killed in World War I on the 100th anniversary of its start.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined Prince Harry on Tuesday to symbolically "plant" poppies in the dry moat surrounding the Tower to honor the military dead.
The installation, called "Blood Swept Lands And Seas Of Red," is at the moment made up of 120,000 ceramic poppies, a carpet of crimson. The red tide will widen in the coming months until there are 888,246 poppies — one for each of the British and Commonwealth soldiers killed in the war.
The poppy has been the traditional symbol of remembrance in Britain since World War I, when a poem from the era recalled the fragile flower melding with the dead in Flanders.
The project is meant to convey an army not as a faceless machine but as individuals, unique and special in their own right.
"I'm literally trying to represent people because a number is a number, but if you see it all like this it is a visual idea of how many people were there," said its creator, Paul Cummins.
Each of the poppies in the moat took three days to make. They will later be sold for 25 pounds ($42) each, and sent to the buyers after Armistice ceremonies in November.
The money will go to British charities such as the Royal Legion and Help for Heroes, which serve British veterans.
Some 8,000 volunteers will be placing the ceramic flowers that are attached to sticks and placed in the ground. One of them was 72-year-old Joan Clayton-Jones, whose great-uncle was killed, as was her husband's grandfather.
"I have a photograph of my great-uncle in my bag today," she said.

Good Video Card for High Quality Engine?
Just curious, since I recently upgraded the video card in my tower, if it is good enough to play Aion in high quality. AMD Phenom II X4 820 ~2.8 GHz 6 GB RAM ATI Radeon HD 6750 Core Edition 1 GB VRAM I have actually tried playing in high quality, but everything is jerky and a bit laggy. I have heard of others with superior video cards having this same problem. Is this due to my video card or something software related? Thanks in advance! :) |
Re: Good Video Card for High Quality Engine?
It should handle the HQ engine fine. Are you using the 64 bit Aion or the 32 bit Aion? I would recommend the 64 bit Aion for that build, it'll help.
To use the 64 bit client, open up your NC Launcher. Right click Aion. Properties. Then in the "extra Comman Line Parameters (Advanced)" type in -64. Click OK and viola, 64 bit Aion <3
http://chzfandom.files.wordpress.com...y-monsters.jpg |
Re: Good Video Card for High Quality Engine?
OP, as far as a good GPU for the HQ engine, a GTX 570 and 580, or a 560Ti with 2GB vram seem to have no issues running it well. The 6950 runs it good, and so does the 6870, while the 6850 starts to struggle a bit. If your looking to upgrade, I would suggest you get a 6950, or a 560Ti 2GB. You could also wait for the rest of the Nvidia 600 series, and the AMD 7000 series to come out, and go from there.
AMD Phenom2 945 C3 @ 3.4ghz, Zalman CNPS 9500A, 92MM all copper CPU cooler, Asus M4N98TD EVO AMD mobo, 8GB DDR3 1600, 2x Nvidia GTX 460 1GB (SLI enabled), 2x500GB WD 7200RPM HDDs, BFGtech EX series 1000w modular PSU, All stuffed into an Antec300 illusion with 5 fans, and shown on a 21.5in 1920x1080 2MS GtG Acer monitor, and used with a Lycosa and an MX518. My house is also fed with a charter ultra100 connection. Am I crazy? |
Re: Good Video Card for High Quality Engine?
Re: Good Video Card for High Quality Engine?
Thanks for all the replies so far!
I am running the 64 bit client, sorry didnt point that out. And I just added this video card into my system, so I will probably stick with this for a while. I can run Skyrim on ultra setting with everything turned up with about 30-40 fps, very playable. I just seem to have jerking and lag problems with Aion. I check the ping every once in a while to make sure it isnt that, and run about 90-120ms pretty much all the time, so it is not that. |
Re: Good Video Card for High Quality Engine?
I have no problem with a 7850, but it's also more than 2x as fast as what you got.
Make sure shadows are on medium, though. |
Re: Good Video Card for High Quality Engine?
Fael, you might wanna try to download the latest official video drivers for your video card, uninstall the existing drivers you have (completely uninstall) and then use Driver Sweeper to remove the remnants that are left.
Your windows will now be using a really low crappy default resolution (640 x 480 by default) with your built-in VGA graphics on your motherboard. No big, NOW you clean-install your video drivers, reboot, configure, reboot again, and you're all set. You might wanna check your power supply versus your video card and make sure its up to snuff. There's actually a difference in good quality PS versus a bad cheap Chinese-made piece of nyerk. With your existing setup, you should be able to run the HQ engine, but try doing it without shadows or fancy lighting then gradually tune it up and test how it runs. The CryEngine is the worst unoptimized piece of nyerk engine ever made for games. Why people bother to use it just for pretty graphics (when Unreal Engine does it better, cheaper, and is easier to program with) is something that is one of those great mysteries of life. It makes tons of unnecessary 'draw' calls and sucks up hardware like nobody's business. |

The University of Utah Seismograph Station reported five small earthquakes including those with magnitudes of 3.4, 2.7 and 3.2 in a 20-minute period starting at 3:33 a.m. in an area 16 to 18 miles south of Gardiner.
Earthquake information specialist Paul Roberson says there were another 20 to 30 small quakes this morning that hadn't yet been posted on the university's website. He called it a fairly normal swarm for Yellowstone. He didn't expect there to be any damage.
Seismographs recorded 31 quakes in the same area south of Gardiner on Saturday, while another 23 were reported last Wednesday and Thursday in an area between 18 and 19 miles east-southeast of West Yellowstone.

(S.D.)-State's Sobriety Program Gets National Recognition
By: Roxie Graham-Marski Posted at: 02/08/2013 09:04 AM PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - South Dakota's 24/7 Sobriety Program has been selected as one of the 10 best criminal justice innovative practices in the country. Attorney General Marty Jackley has announced that the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance and the Center for Court Innovation is honoring the 24/7 program and nine other programs from around the country. The 24/7 Sobriety Program was established in 2005. The program uses breath tests, monitoring bracelets, urinalysis and drug patches to monitor offenders with addictions. The program along with the nine others will be highlighted during the Criminal Justice Summit in Florida on Feb. 19-21.

County officials met last month to discuss the budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year, and while it appears there will be alterations from last year's budget, major changes shouldn't be expected when the spending plan is finalized this summer.
Less than two weeks after the first reading of the proposed budget, Washington County Judge-Executive John Settles, the magistrates and other officials are still early in the process with plenty of time to make changes, but the foundation for the upcoming budget has been set.

Help student feel best about himself
Q. I read your article regarding the mid-year switch for a child that is not mature enough for his grade. My question is similar. When my son was ready to enter kindergarten, I was advised to hold him back. He is a July birthday, so he just turned 13 this past July. I didn't take that advice because he was very smart. However, now he is in eighth grade at a private school. He has two friends who will not be going to the same public high school, and he's not the type to make friends easily. My son's grades have slipped a bit this year, but more importantly, I don't see him being mature enough to go to high school (he has a sister in ninth grade this year, but her birthday is in January, so she's an "appropriate" ninth grader). I have been considering having him repeat eighth grade at a K-8 grade school that is fairly close to our home, though not our zoned middle school. This school does, however, feed into the same high school. What are your thoughts on having a child, who is in an older grade than your article mentioned, repeat a grade?
A. Honestly, I am not sure what to advise. I understand your dilemma, and I think you are best suited to make this call. Generally, I would not recommend holding a child back after third grade, but I can be told a story, like yours, and it makes me question my stance. Talk to your son's current teacher and then talk to family that you trust, not those who might be competitive with you in some way. Make the decision based on making him feel best about himself while he is in school. At this point, he should be brought into the discussions too. There is no rush, but holding him back this late in the game may not help in the way you are thinking. If he would feel badly about it, it could make him pull further away from peers. I have to leave this one to you, but I wish you the best in making the decision.
Q. Will furlough days be put back on the calendar for kids or are only teacher salaries being restored after the Proposition 30 money comes in?
A. So far, as a teacher, I have not seen any difference after proposition 30, but the main argument behind the initiative was to prevent further cuts. I do not think it will mean an influx of cash to schools. It only put a plug in the current funding so we were not asked to make huge mid-year cuts. I have heard that some districts are going to be able to restore furlough days, but each district will get to decide this on its own to some extent. The governor made the required school days come all the way down to 175, so districts do not have to restore days, but I think many may do this. It is the path I hope happens because lowering that bar for the kids was a tragedy in my eyes.

I laughed so hard at Furuichi (as usual!) in this chapter. His lolicon comment, followed up by his image oh Hilda. Classic.
& we should have known Oga would break the rock in half like that.

Yeah, I think the one translating this isn't the regular translator? Sorry to knock against them but some parts of it are a bit weird...but the chapter is still hilarious though, Furuichi as usual stole the show with his Lolicon/Hilda tsundere imagination. Still, she's a demon too, right? I think it's still possible that she's actually older than Furuichi thought anyway. And Oga in the end is great as well, the way he solve it is so Oga.

Oh Furuchi how you cease to amuse me to no end
My hero of the week, why? simple he gave me my tsundere or is that just deredere(?) Hilda-chan! I love the workings of his inner thoughts, his denial of his current situation and putting his mind straight which gives us a lovely Hilda-chan image. His determination is praise worthy, he won't waver it seems The training still going strong with the humor, Oga and his Krillin bro posse moving on with their training. I have to agree I expected Oga to do something rather cliche in order to break the rock but that wasn't quite so, maybe cliche for this series but not for shounen training regimes. Where was the sheer will power and determination needed in order to break the rock?! No we get other evil ways in order to get our result and once again I'm totally amused by the gang, they really have come together quite well.

Aug 13, 2002, 01:00 ET from Tribridge
TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Mid-market companies seeking a performance edge look to Tribridge for business consulting services that maximize their return on investments in customers, operations and technology. "Tribridge solves business problems -- it's that simple," says Tony DiBenedetto, Tribridge chairman and CEO. "We've developed a collaborative service model that provides high quality/high value practical solutions designed and managed by experienced consultants. And, because we specialize in companies in the middle market, we are able to bring that service model to a previously under-served market." Founded in 1998 by three former "Big Five" business consulting executives, Tribridge designs, develops and implements business process and technology solutions throughout a client's organization, including customer solutions and operations. The firm also offers specialized consultation in the healthcare industry, with a growing focus on healthcare customer solutions. "Business processes and technology must go hand in hand," says DiBenedetto. "We can never focus on one without realizing the impact on the other, even if that isn't part of the project directive. This allows us to produce results that are integrated and therefore more effective across the board." Tribridge approach to business consulting With an average annual growth rate of more than 80 percent, Tribridge now has more than 50 team members and offices in Atlanta, Orlando, Fla. and Tampa. DiBenedetto notes that the impressive growth rate results from the following factors: * Value and quality: Using proven methodologies and relying on deep industry experience, Tribridge offers clients exceptional value that is characterized by high quality services and practical solutions. * A culture of collaboration: Tribridge encourages an entrepreneurial approach to problem solving that is built upon a collaborative relationship with clients. In addition, Tribridge team members are actively involved in community activities, linking their success to that of their communities. * Experienced local consultants: For the most part, team members live in the same community in which they work, which allows them to create long-term client relationships. Many are former "Big Five" directors and managers, averaging more than 10 years of successful experience. Consulting services and methodology Using structured, proven methodologies, Tribridge focuses its consulting offerings on services that provide the most direct benefit to middle market companies. Customer solutions services are centered on the core front office processes of marketing, sales and customer service. These include strategic assessment, CRM software selection and implementation, custom CRM application design and development, process design/redesign and web site design/development. Operations services focus on business process and technology offerings, including business process assessment and redesign, strategic systems planning, business application integration, e-business planning, software selection/implementation, custom application design/development and Intranet/web site design and implementation. Technology services, while supporting the other service areas, focus on development of custom business applications and assisting clients apply packaged software. Specific services include strategic systems planning, e-business planning, software selection/implementation, Intranet and web site design/development and business application integration. Healthcare services, currently Tribridge's only vertical industry specialization, focus on the three primary areas of revenue cycle enhancement, including claims denial management and verification of third party payer payments; compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); and customer solutions, with particular focus on the service experience as well as customer and employee loyalty. Tribridge's methodology is highly collaborative. It begins with an assessment of the business and its people and culminates in a change management-focused implementation that ensures that new processes and technology will be agreed to and adopted throughout the organization. "Today's mid-market companies are looking for creative ways to move beyond cost-cutting to improve overall profitability," says DiBenedetto. "We believe Tribridge's integrated approach to business consulting can provide them the edge they need to support future growth." Tribridge (www.tribridge.com) provides business consulting services, ranging from assessment through implementation, to middle market companies. Services are focused in the areas of customer solutions, operations, technology and healthcare. Based in Tampa, Fla., Tribridge has additional offices in Orlando, Fla. and Atlanta.

5 Sure-fire Tips to Becoming an Expat
By Luke Tyler
Summary: Even though for some moving abroad still seems like a dream, becoming an expat is easier than you might imagine, if you have some basic skills and knowledge about your opportunities. Here are some of the tips that helped me during my move abroad.
For many of us, leaving our native country for greener pastures has become the most important decision ever made that dramatically changed our lives for the better. Even though for some moving abroad still seems like a dream, becoming an expat is easier than you might imagine, if you have some basic skills and knowledge about your opportunities. Here are some of the tips that helped me during my move abroad.
- Get a college degree if you don't have one yet. Education is one of the most important things an employer abroad looks at while examining your resume. Granted, not all degrees have the same weight so a degree from a top university would be a great bonus when applying for jobs. A master's is even better and it opens your opportunities even more – you can apply to study one year abroad with various scholarships and learn the language in that country.
- Research, research, research. The best way to get a proper experience of the country you're aiming for is to read whatever you can about it. Try to learn the language, investigate the culture and start early on research visas. Visas and taxes can be one of the most stressful things for expats so the sooner you dive into the issue, the better. Furthermore, be upfront with potential employers and state your visa status clearly. Don't lead someone on with false promises if you're serious about changing your life.
- Be prepared for the change. One of the most challenging things about going expat isn't necessarily the actual move, house hunting or visa formalities. Culture shock is a big issue most of newbie expats deal with when changing countries, even when making the move from the US to the UK. Culture shock is a process that affects people from all walks of like differently, being characterized by homesickness, boredom or hostility towards the new culture. Culture shock can behave differently for each one of us so make sure you deal with these issues when the novelty of your new place wears off.
- Socialize & network. Staying in touch with your loved ones or making new friends is one of the key aspects of getting into or getting used to a new country. Make an effort not to loose touch with the people you left back home, you won't find a replacement for family or friends you've known most of your life. Also, try to meet new people and socialize as often as possible – they will be your guides in the new world, will offer you valuable information or practical advice.
- Give up most of the things you own. You know that feeling of liberation when you move into a new apartment and you get rid of old junk you were holding onto? Imagine this feeling multiplied when you see you can fit your entire life into a big suitcase. Sell all the things you own and no longer need and stick to the basics – the sooner you do this, the better. You'll save a lot by buying things you need from the adoptive country rather than moving them overseas.
Now it's your turn. What are some of the tips and tricks you've found useful in your move?

AusExpatDe cluttering your life works brilliantly. I have scanned all my photos, so I will be able to take my photos with me. I have also ripped all my cds to an external drive, so I can take my tunes with me. Backing up your external drive to a cloud account is another good idea.
guestTry to visit the place before you move there. It was helpful for me to visit the area of town I wanted to live in before I actually moved there a few years later. I already knew where the bus station, stores and post office were so I didn't have to waste time finding these places upon arrival. Also, I was able to make some friends and they remembered me when I moved there.
slicksLearn the local language at least enough to function. Not knowing this puts a wall around you and isolates you from much of the society. - Not to mention really limits your job prospect if that's what you want.
guestThe MOST important : able to understand the country LANGUAGE, second to speak it enough for your life necessities. Next, bring more CASH( credit cards, access to your bank accounts) than you calculated you need. Always some unexpected or forgotten need. Be Internet proficient ( two e-mail accounts, portable computer,).
guestsorry but these contributions are so plain and obvious that a six year old could give them. What would really help is: websites of international recruiters that really look for expats, visa regulations, country ratings (which countries need which skills), information on dual nationality (which countries support dual nationality), and so on...
guestI'd like to add a few more tips, having moved from the US to the UK two years ago. Firstly, don't underestimate the amount of money you will need to move. Visas can cost up to $1,100. When you arrive in your new country, you will need a place to live. Plan on paying at least 6 month's rent in advance, because you won't have credit established in your new country yet. Put money aside to open a bank account as soon as you have a permanent address, because employers do NOT pay you by check - it's direct deposit only. Unless you live in a big city you will probably need a car to get to work - there is public transport but it is very expensive. With all the cutbacks in the UK now, it is also not as extensive as it was before - our town no longer has Sunday bus service, for example. Unless you have won the lottery, you will need to work. The UK frowns upon anyone who enters their country and seeks public assistance. I have found that employers for the most part are willing to hire American workers because they like their work ethic. Another tip I have, which Luke touched on, is to try and make friends. From experience, though, I will tell you that there is prejudice against Americans in the UK at the moment - I have been hung up on when calling to make appointments, etc., and you get a lot of dirty looks in the street when people hear your accent. It is best to be very tough and self-reliant - you will eventually make friends, but it is not as easy as you may think. Lastly, plan on saving every penny you have for at least a year or two before you move. You will need at least twice as much money as you think you will, unless you don't mind living in a very tiny apartment with no furniture. Rents are extremely expensive and right now are hard to get because of the current housing crisis. I am sorry for writing such a long post, but please plan very carefully before you take the plunge! My husband and I planned our move for 4 years and still found the transition difficult.
guestYeah, a degree IS a good thing to have, if it's a GOOD degree... you see how your degree "translates" into a foreign system. In most of the EU, for example, any university degree which would not correspond to an "honors" degree in various EU countries isn't worth more than a US community college degree is in the states, unless it's science or engineering. Learn the language... first. Start BEFORE you even buy a ticket. Many countries will issue you a student visa if you study their language (full time) in their country. You can also take advantage of very cheap accommodation in dormitories while you acclimate. Many countries require the use of local language in business, and proven command for long-term visas. If you can, start your own business. Remember, you'll be competing for jobs in countries full of relatives, people who have networked from mandatory stints in the local armed forces, and from the same university. Expats are ill-suited for many jobs - accounting/business law may be very different, national competency/evaluation tests or licensing may be required, and even for manual labor there may be a difference in the local availability/regulations concerning work materials such as paint or even electronics solder. Consider where you're going. Don't like socialized medicine? VAT taxes? $8 per gallon gas? Will you be able to function in a place with a sizable grey economy? Can you get used to an after taxes/expenses pay of less than $1500 per month? About money... yeah, having more is better. But, in many foreign countries ATM withdrawals are limited by bank to less than $1000 per month, per bank. You can't (legally) take more than $10000 out of the US in cash, but even if you had it in a US bank, it may be very difficult to get out an emergency withdrawal for a substantial sum. You'll need a local bank account as fast as possible, which you can usually only get with a local (meaning you have the papers to prove it) address. When you get a place, make sure it's "official.' You can always get some kind of cheap lodging, but is the owner/landlord going to provide you with the paperwork or accompany you to the local migration center for you visa interview/document submission? Have a plan A, B, and especially C.
guestGuest looking for "What would really help is: websites of international recruiters that really look for expats, visa regulations, country ratings (which countries need which skills), information on dual nationality (which countries support dual nationality), and so on..." That's outside the scope of this article. Most countries support dual nationality. Visa reg's you can get by Googling. Recruiters and needed skills you can get by checking job/elance web sites. Also check associations for the skills you have. Check the boards here for the countries you are interested in. Good luck & happy researching!
guestLook for local alumni groups from your university back home. Also, look for expat groups, a good source for community and people in your same situation.
guestTips for others living abroad-you need to be resilient and be prepared to handle whatever it is that you are dealt with. Becoming an expat is my dream--i've been a traveller but it's one thing to do that and quiet another to be "an expat". I went about it just with the goal in mind even though it was quiet a risk -- it wasn't a direct global-co-has-placed-me-here kind of thing...long story though. To be honest, there are no footsteps, path, or ladder to follow or climb...

The Thames has long been seen by historians as a key factor in London's success as an economic, political and cultural centre. Much emphasis has rightly been placed upon the Thames as a trade route, linking London to markets in England, continental Europe and the wider world. However, the tidal Thames was much more than this, affording London a source of milling power, a water supply, a site of industry and a source of food through its richfisheries. The marshlands adjoining the tidal river and its estuary provided a wide variety of natural resources and, when embanked and drained, could be converted into highly productive agricultural land. As well as constituting a resource, however, the tidal Thames posed a recurrent threat to London and the smaller settlements bordering the estuary. Floods, especially the irregular but potentially devastating North Sea storm surges, could lead to loss of life, devastation of fertile farmland and serious damage to the life and fabric of the capital itself.
The papers in this volume arise from a conference held in October 2009 and funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. Written by archaeologists, historians and historical geographers, they present up-todate work on the flood threat from the later middle ages to the twentieth century, focusing upon the changing political, institutional and economic response to this environmental challenge. Also included is a preliminary report on two of the most exciting archaeological finds of recent years, the tidal mills uncovered at Greenwich and Northfleet, and a consideration of their implications for our understanding of the medieval tidal regime.
The volume concludes with an overview of the multi-faceted work of the Thames Discovery Programme, which is increasing our knowledge of many aspects of the Thames's past, from medieval fish traps, through nineteenth-century shipbuilding, to the Blitz, which posed a new and very real flood threat to the mid-twentieth century metropolis.

Spiced Chicken with Coconut-Caramel Sauce and Citrus Salad
Jean-Georges Vongerichten cleverly rethinks a classic Southeast Asian sauce not by what he adds, but by what he leaves out. Instead of a rich curry paste, he creates a creamy sauce with a caramel base, coconut milk and fish sauce.
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
- 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Cayenne pepper
- 4 skin-on boneless chicken breast halves
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
- 1 Thai green chile, minced
- Salt
- 1 grapefruit—peeled with a knife, sectioned and diced
- 1 lime—peeled with a knife, sectioned and diced
- 1 cup diced fresh pineapple
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced cilantro
- Fleur de sel, for garnish
How to make this recipe
In a bowl, mix 2 teaspoons of the sugar with the coriander, cumin, turmeric, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne. Rub the spices on the chicken, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, mix the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar with the water and bring to a boil. Simmer until an amber caramel forms, 10 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the coconut milk until the caramel dissolves. Add the fish sauce and chile; let stand for 5 minutes. Strain the sauce and season with salt.
In a medium bowl, gently toss the fruits with a pinch each of salt and cayenne.
Light a grill. Rub the chicken with olive oil and season with salt. Grill over moderate heat, turning once, until the skin is charred and the chicken is white throughout, 12 minutes. Transfer to plates along with the fruit salad and sauce. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with the cilantro and fleur de sel and serve.
Suggested Pairing
Citrusy, ripe Pinot Blanc.
