Macworld/Beautiful Products by Design…
We woke this morning to Leo Laporte (Twit) and his inspiring remarks for the era of media participation, content creation and consumption. Most enjoyable were his stylish slides and an all-knowing voice. The audience left sunny and ready for another fun day on the expo floor.
Having spent the past two days in South Hall, I decided to start this day up North where music was the focus. First stop was the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus with its immersive presentation of kids writing music, recording it and producing a music video all in the course of one-day on the bus. Next up was the Digital Media Academy offering a music video class this summer for kids on the Lennon Bus at Stanford. You can check out their computer classes on the hour (FCP, Affect Effects, Logic Pro…) North Hall is so filled with fantastic experiences that to mitigate sensory overload, right in the center of the floor is the W Chill Out Lounge with sofas, checkers and Rubiks Cubes. I sat for awhile to plan my tour of the floor.
There were eye-catching gotta have products everywhere including iStyle Softwear (brilliantly packaged tees designed to look like software, truly a fun gift), Vestalife's Red Ladybug Speakers (Winner, iLounge Best of Show), Psyclops iPod Cases that offer a Webkins-like experience and come alive online and on your iPod (can't wait for the iPhone app & cases which promise to be out soon), iPopperz earbuds with colorful characters available at Claire's and InMotion, Tunewear to hang your iPhone/iPod around your neck, FoneGear's GreenGear with cozy wool jackets that encase iPhone/iPod (like a teddy bear who won't break when flung off the bed), Richard Solo's iPhone Battery Boost (at $20 and small, it was the hottest selling item), MiMobot designer USB flash drives, Eye-Fi WiFi Memory Cards, Mobigrip bungee loops, Griffin's Air Curve speaker dock and Elan Convertible case, XSKN Soft Touch Keyboards, Bud Covers and Cases, and Uniea Haptique Hard Shell Case for MacBooks.
Debuting iPhone apps include EcoCal (a rich nature calendar), Viximo's True Flirt which will make you fall in love with dandelion blowing, and Vixml editor for developing snackable iPhone apps. Even more exciting, soon, Viximo will be offering user-developed apps distribution in the iTunes App Store. The most amazing app of the day was TruPhone which turns any new iPod Touch with iPhone 3g headphones into a cell phone that can send and receive calls for free or pennies per call. The creator of TruPhone, James Tagg, is actually manning his own booth. So if you're a fan, stop by and let him know.
As for the daily schwag, the winner today was the Lennon Bus for its schwag bag runneth over with speakers, headphones, CD-R, Rockband bandana and wristband. In second place was Innovelis for their Bud Fits, and Applelocks.com for its laser pen and elegant key locks. In third place was BlueLounge for its sylish cord manager and Simplism's cable yoyo (a Japanese iPhone charger designer in need of a US distributor). Honorable mentions go to Wasabi for its guitar pick and Wazabee for its drumsticks. Best button goes to EVE. Best stickers go to Blurb and Mimobot. Best tee shirts go to iStyle Softwear (win one with a high score at Rock Band) and Digital Media Academy.
The best schmoozing of the day was in the media room which IDG and the media room front line staff deserve much credit for. Here, Bloggers and journalists from around the globe are given vast space to write, collaborate, eat, post and podcast. It's also the place to get the scoop on the party scene. For tonight, top picks seem to be: Blurb at Thirsty Bear, Mac Mingle, MacRadio, Netter's Dinner and Your Mac Life.

Question about Motorola Mobility SLVR L7 Cellular Phone
Hi I just dropped my slvr and though it will take and make calles, I cannot see any information including my stored numbers. Can I restore the screen?? Can I do a master rest? If so, can you tell me the steps so I can perform the task 'blind' as it were
Posted by legalease196 on
The only problem I have is that I no idea what my security number is!! I didn't anticipate that I would need it. And if I need the papers that came with it - then I am screwed because like most other people, I tossed it when I bought the phone!! Silly me. But thanks!!
To do a master reset blind press the red button a few times to make sure you are at the home screen. now press the center button once, press 8 then 5 press up twice then the center button once now enter your 6 digit security code and then press the center button twice. that should do a master reset on your phone. If that doesn't work then your screen is destroyed. If you don't want to spent money on a new phone you can always use the voice dialing button on the right side of the phone located right under the charging terminal. press it once then give a command (EX. "Call Joe smith") the phone should confirm the command, then say yes or no

Kinds of Skates Needed for Beginning Ice Hockey
Youth Ice Hockey Skates
Ice skates are one of the most important pieces of hockey equipment for a beginning player. Along with the helmet, it is also one of the first pieces of equipment they will need to begin skating lessons. Once you have made the commitment to begin lessons or "rink rat" sessions, rental skates are no longer a good option. It is important to have a good pair of hockey skates that provide support new skaters need, as well as good blades that allow the kids to find their edges.
Hockey skates have special padding for protection and they feature special construction for quick stops and starts. Figure, rental, recreational and speed skates are all different type skates offering customization for their specific use.
The Best Hockey Skates for the Beginning Player
There are many manufacturers of hockey skates such as Bauer, Reebok, Easton, CCM, Graf, and Mission. The most popular and highly stocked brands for beginning hockey players are Reebok, Bauer, and CCM. Graf is an excellent skate, but depending upon where you live, it may be hard to find in the youth size. Mission is regarded as a roller hockey skate manufacturer and not well thought of for ice players. There are some adjustable ice hockey skates on the market that may be suitable for "rink rat" or toddler sessions, but once a player is out of that stage, it is better to purchase skates with more protection.
Some online sites such as Hockey Monkey list youth ice hockey skates from a $39.99 Easton pair on clearance, to the Reebok 11K Pump Youth for $229.00. Like anything else, you do get what you pay for. However, the beginning player needs a good, solid skate, but they don't have the appreciation for specialty skate construction and elaborate bells and whistles. Regardless of the price or brand, the best ice hockey skate for your beginning player is the one that offers the most protection and has the best fit for your child's feet.
How to Size Ice Hockey Skates for Beginning Players
If you are buying skates for the first time, it is best to let a professional, trained salesperson assist you. Each manufacturer is sized differently and obtaining a proper fit is imperative.
Hockey skates come in youth (13.5Y–6Y), junior (1.0–5.5) and senior (6+) sizes. Generally hockey skates fit about a size smaller than shoes. Do not make the mistake of buying them too big. When trying on skates, your player should wear hockey socks, or very thin socks. The heel should fit in the back of the skates without too much wiggle room. The widest part of the foot should feel snug without pinching. The front toe should have just a smidge of room (quarter inch) between the front of the skate. Next, lace the skates up and have the player stand up. Tap the heel to the back of the skate, and stand normal putting equal weight on both feet. If the toes hit the front, they are too small and you need to go up a size. The skate should feel snug, but comfortable.
Advanced skates will have a stiffer boot, but these are for skilled players with adult weight. Most youth players need flexible or moderately stiff boots. Wearing skates that do not fit properly or that apply excessive pressure on the heel bone is the main cause of Haglund's Deformity or the Bauer Bump, a common issue with hockey players. If you are purchasing at a pro shop, the skates can be baked to fit your child's foot like a glove.
Should You Buy New or Used Ice Hockey Skates?
The decision of whether to buy new or used ice hockey skates has a lot to do with your wallet. New hockey skates are expensive. Kids' feet grow quickly. The beginning skater needs a good skate for support, but not necessarily a brand new skate. Stores selling used gear like, Play It Again Sports, have a multitude of skates to choose from. If you can find a skate in good condition, with a proper fit, then there is no reason not to buy used. Keep in mind, the sales personnel at the pro shops will have a greater ability to help accurately size your child's skate, but if you feel confident in being able to fit your child, then try the used stores first to save some cash.
One other factor in buying a used skate is to carefully evaluate the condition of the used skate. Be sure to inspect both the blade and the boot of the skate. If the boot is worn out, it will not provide enough support for the skater. With regard to the blade, make sure there is plenty of blade left for the skate to be sharpened multiple times throughout the season.
Get the Hockey Bug
Congratulations! Purchasing ice hockey skates for the beginning skater is the first step to what is likely a long-lived obsession with ice hockey! Don't worry, the early mornings, expensive equipment, freezing temperatures and long seasons, will all be worth it to see that sparkle in the eye and smile on your child's face. Once a child starts playing hockey they get hooked quickly. So go ahead and buy those skates. No doubt it will be a worthwhile investment.
Additional Information for New Hockey Parents
Questions & Answers
© 2012 LauraGSpeaks
Evergreen article Laura, nice job. Moved from Chicago to Atlanta more recently. I imagine it has reduced the chances any of our littles will play hockey. But should we find the opportunity, your article will be a good resource for us. Thank you!
Hi Laura - Thank you for your consideration of my input. You have a great blog and it's really a gem of clarity and thoughtful analysis among all of the *noise* parents and players will encounter as they research purchases. One final point on newbie skates is "stance". I'm in the camp of recommending a more forward pitch (of their skates) to newer skaters to help them more quickly adopt proper skating form and strides. A skater can change pitch to match their position, preference and skate style later, but I almost always recommend a forward pitch for beginners. Interestingly enough, the forward pitch is something that Graf has maintained, as well as the Easton Stealth (and upcoming RS) skates. Most others have adopted more "neutral" stances to serve a broader market.
Hi Laura - I'm not in the hockey business other than as a player and parent, but I would clarify a couple of your points. Graf does indeed make youth skates. The Supra 370's were my boys' first skates (both started at 4 y/o). As well, I would strongly discourage parents from buying shoes via their own sizing and without a trained salesperson at a good pro shop. As your "bauer bump" article illustrates. Every hockey skate manufacturer has a different foot, body-type, skate-style and positional emphasis in mind for each skate. Size is important but only equal to "FIT", which takes on a whole new dimension in hockey skates. The LHS is the only choice for choosing the right skate. You can buy helmets and everything else online or at a sporting goods superstore... except for skates. They're too important and individually-appropriate.
Comprehensive information. Thanks! Ice-hockey is not huge in the UK, but we have one of the best teams in Britain - The Cardiff Devils!
Really great resource for young skaters and their parents.
Very useful! Such a lot of fun.
I'm a bit on an anomaly, I am Canadian yet I hate hockey :)
My children definitely love watching hockey but we don't live near a rink, so no hockey stars in our family. I enjoyed your article and like many sports, sometimes used is fine but, as they get older and more into the sport, new and expensive really is the way to go.
No ice hockey for my daughter (field hockey is her thing) but this is very informative for anyone entering the sport.
Very useful to some. I don't like hockey :) But this is a very well written hub.
Another great hockey resource, Laura. Well written and informative!

The issue:
With more than 1 billion users, social media giant Facebook is using personal information for business gain.
What we think:
Social media platforms should be open about what information is collected and should do a better job at policing organizations that use private information to influence politics and inflame public opinion.
Tell us what you think:
Send us an email at email@example.com.
More than 1 billion people use Facebook. We use it for personal reasons, to stay in touch with faraway family and friends. We use it for business — to get referrals, for name recognition, for branding, promotion and advertising. And we believe that it's free for all of us.
But all that connection, activity and promotion come at a cost. And for many, it's a high price to pay.
Facebook knows every file you've sent, all the contacts in your phone, your email address and cell phone number, hometown, maiden name, schools, employment, photos, videos, search and browser history. It tracks all your likes, your friends, your status changes, your searches for other people. Its algorithms can determine your call history, your games, your music, every IP address you've logged in from and every third-party app you've used.
And they've done it by burying disclosures about selling your information to businesses, political organizations and anyone else with the money to purchase data from Facebook.
Big Brother is indeed watching — tracking, storing and selling information you believed was private.
It raises questions about the responsibility these huge, multinational companies have to disclose what's being tracked and what they are doing with the vast amounts of data they are collecting. It's not enough to bury disclosure in the terms-of-use contracts. No one reads them, and Facebook and Google know it.
The companies took advantage of people wanting to connect their personal lives and their businesses to their family, friends and customers. They are making millions from people's trust.
The repercussions are vast. We already know the Russians used social media platforms to inflame emotions through fake news websites and sneaky marketing techniques during the 2016 elections. We know they are still at it today — under the guise of memes, news that seems legitimate but isn't, and through carefully placed sponsored content on several platforms. Facebook isn't alone in using data to make money, but it is the largest social media platform, and the one widely targeted by those who seek to interfere in and influence our democratic processes.
The lack of transparency has created a lack of trust, and #deletefacebook is gaining ground.
But … there's even a catch to deleting your profile. It never goes away. All your information — your photos, your friends, your apps, your log-in sites, all of it — is still safely stored at Facebook, awaiting your return. Whether it's days or weeks or years, the social media giant keeps your data and uses it.
The European Union recently took steps to further protect privacy, and companies doing business in Europe have to follow those guidelines. Facebook will have to follow strict privacy restrictions overseas — they can easily implement those same requirements in the United States.
Protecting privacy isn't how these businesses make money — but the people using them should be fully informed of what information they are gathering AND what they are doing with it.
Instead of being sneaky, just let people know their personal information is being collected and sold. Also, the apps that look fun and the quizzes that everyone participates in could be covers for data collection as well. Tell people that — and then let them decide to participate or not.
Facebook has a big trust deficit to overcome, and it's time it took privacy seriously. The rest of us do.

Author: Jeffrey Eugenides.
Publisher: Fourth Estate.
Published: 1993.
Rating: 10/10.
Jeffrey Eugenide's chilling debut novel The Virgin Suicides (1993) explores the self-destructive nature of American suburbia amid the suicides of the five Lisbon sisters.
The narrative is from the perspective of a collection of teenage boys in the neighbourhood who, as adults, try to figure out what caused the suicides. They collect documents, evidence and neighbourhood gossip so as to put the mystery to rest. Through flashbacks, the events surrounding the girls' deaths are explored.
The boys obsess over the Lisbon household and the girls within, mapping the gradual decline of the house and the spirits of the girls who withdraw further into their imprisoning domestic sphere but who "just want to live"(128). Although the boys try to make strong arguments for the girls' demise, such as blaming the strict, oppressive Lisbon parents for suppressing the girls, the boys' conclusions are only based on conjecture, and through the novel, Eugenides suggests that sometimes the truth may never be grasped.
The Virgin Suicides (1993) locates itself in 1970's Michigan; a setting of racial divide between affluent white suburban communities and lower-class black urban communities, and a time of political unrest between USA and Russia due to fears of the Cold War. These fears of the external world are brought to novel's centre with signs of decay and destruction encroaching upon the idyllic suburb in which the story is set. By highlighting the neighbourhoods reactions to threats, such as the diseased trees and the decaying Lisbon household, Eugenides foregrounds American fear of the other.
Hauntingly written, the novel features striking imagery as well as provocative discussions about racial class divides and the disparity between appearance and truth.

Livingstone Textiles Yeovil Somerset sells a different range of materials to Livingstone Textiles in Bridport Dorset, making both of them worth a visit. One of the items that Yeovil has that Bridport does not stock is knitting wool or Yarn. In their shop, they have a wide range of different types in so many colours and textures and they also stock a wide range of pattern books.
So whether you are an expert knitter, love crochet or are thinking of trying something new, Livingstone Textiles Yeovil is definitely an ideal destination and with its in-house knitting experts, you can be sure of all the help and advice you need to get started with a project.
What are the different types of Yarn or Knitting wool and what does it mean?
You may hear the term "ply" used when talking about knitting wool or yarn, and ply is the weight of the yarn or thickness. It really means strands of thinner yarn have been twisted together to produce that thicker yarn. So for example, 4 ply is where 4 strands of thinner wool have been twisted together to create a thicker or stronger piece. Another term that might be heard is double knit or DK. This is just another way to classify the weight of the wool, double knit is heavier than 4 ply, which again is heavier than 2 ply. Aran wool is another weight of knitting yarn and wool, it is sometimes known as 10 ply and is a great weight for garments like thick winter jumpers and accessories. It's traditional to knit elaborate cables and knots into aran garments that add extra warmth and different areas of the UK all have their own unique designs. This important aspect of our British heritage also served a practical purpose as when a Fisherman was found drowned at sea, they could identify his home fishing village by the patterns knitted into his sweater and return him to his loved ones. Many patterns were spread down from the North by the women who would sit knitting on the quay waiting for the catch to come in. They would migrate down the East coast with the pilchard fishing and share their regional shapes and patterns with each other before helping land and gut the catch.
What does Livingstone Textiles sell?
We sell a big range of King Cole knitting Yarns in different weights and colours, ranging from 4 ply knitting yarn in a big section of colours, double knitting yarn also in a big range of colours and Aran knitting yarn. We also have some more specialist wools such as cuddle chunky, which is a super soft ideal yarn for teddies and soft toys, we have King Cole Riot which is a gorgeous multi coloured wool which adds a rainbow effect to your knitting and King Cole double knit Drifter yarn which is also a multi colour knitting wool with an unbelievably soft quality..
To complement your King Cole knitting yarn we also sell King Cole knitting patterns. We have 5 whole books of patterns for you to choose from, and these patterns will tell you what type of wool needs to be used to complete the pattern and which stitches. There are also craft books with projects to knit and sew from tiny to large.
And for those of you that are completely new to knitting, we also have a wide range of kntting acessories such as different size needles, counters and clips. And when you need to finish your project, we also have a massive range of buttons and trims for you to choose from.
If you would like any advice on anything metioned in this post please contact us or pop in and see us at our shop and we will be happy to help.

This story from the Seattle Times describes discipline received by Seattle firefighters. The story was only possible because of access to public records.
By the way, the Times found 23 incidents of reprimands since January 2008 in an agency of over 1,100 people. That's not bad. But that's the point--the news (the good, the bad, or the ugly) can only come out because of public records.

By Charnika Imbulana
in London
The Commonwealth People's Forum (CPF) held alongside CHOGM that brings together civic voices from around the world to debate key issues facing Commonwealth people saw a low turnout in London, which made the delegates who attended call out for more people participation.
The CPF is the single largest opportunity for civil society to engage with Commonwealth leaders on global development issues.
CPF 2018 brought a civic perspective to this discourse, with the central theme being 'Inclusive Governance: The Challenge for a Contemporary Commonwealth'.
CPF was one of the Forums running parallel with the Business Forum, Women's Forum and Youth Forum, all from which the outcomes document was prepared to persuade the Commonwealth leaders to take action upon the contents detailed in it.
Sessions on each of the Forum's three days focused on a particular theme:
Day 1 – 'Leave No One Behind: Exploring Exclusion in the Commonwealth'
Day 2 – 'Politics of Hope: Taking on Injustice in the Commonwealth'
Day 3 – 'Accountable Governance: Understanding the Imperatives for a Renewed Commonwealth'
The programme combined panel discussions, in-depth conversations, case studies and creative expression. It provided platforms for voices from across the globe and concluded with a call to action for a contemporary Commonwealth in the context of inclusive, just and accountable governance.
At the 2015 CHOGM in Malta, the People's Forum was packed to capacity and was more active than the one held in the UK. In Malta Heads of Government noted the consonance of the Foundation's mission and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 and its emphasis on peaceful and inclusive societies and building effective, accountable institutions at all levels.
Among the Delegates comprising of civil society from some of the Commonwealth countries who attended the People's Forum in the UK was Comfort Glikpo from Ghana. She shared her views with Daily FT on the People's Forum in London.Hailing from the capitol City Accra, Comfort said that the discussions were great and the debates were very interesting, while she described the speeches as being educational and inspiring. However she said she was disappointed with the low turnout of number of the delegates.
"There should be more participation encouraged. It was disappointing to see that there were empty seats. The programme was good. I feel there would have been many civil society people in the world who would have wanted to participate in this wonderful platform that gives everyone a chance to speak out."
Comfort is the CEO of Del Foundation, an NGO that deals with reproductive health education for girls and adolescents. Del Foundation has been in operation for four years.
"This is my first time at the CHOGM Forum, therefore I was excited and I am happy I participated and contributed. I have been a Commonwealth Youth Forum member for the last three years, essentially online, however this is the first time I am physically participating in a Commonwealth Forum," she explained.
"For my field of work, participating in the Women's Forum is more up my street but although my application was requesting to be a delegate for the Women's Forum, I got selected to the People's Forum. But that's fine," she contends.
"I enjoyed the People's Forum and I did have interests in that too. People's Forum was more for civic organisations and I wanted to know how the civic organisations could get involved and deal with issues that affect the Commonwealth."
Relating the interesting story of how she initiated her Foundation, she said: "While growing up, my mother was involved in business. She was a trader and sold food to a food outlet. This place was in close proximity to a slum named Sodom, now known as 'old fadama'. During vacation I would accompany her to her work, and nearby I would see the girls in the slum involved in all sorts of vices.
"I felt that after I return from school, I could assist them in preventing unwanted pregnancies, in the prevention of suicides and all kinds of problems they were facing and most of the time not able to find any solutions. We decided to step in there and assist them with comprehensive education so that they can lead an independent life, and avoid getting into situations that jeopardise their young lives.
"Over the years, I expanded and now we go and assist not only slums but other communities as well, including schools, where we mentor, counsel and provide skills training for girls on a much larger scale. We initiated a 'Teen Girls Investment Project' where we assisted 100 teenage mothers set up their own enterprise," she explained. "Global Giving-m in the US helped to raise funds for the project. They are only a platform which guides us."
"Because I am involved in social service and a subject that affects many Commonwealth countries, I am in the right place to improve what we do. Although the People's Forum in London was a comprehensive one with regard to the content, yet I feel much more could be improved in the next – especially in terms of the numbers, the numbers didn't really portray a People's Forum," she emphasised.
"I was expecting to see 350 delegates, however the number in attendance was far less than that. The panel discussions in particular were good. There would naturally have been more interactions had there been more delegates. I was very interested in an all-inclusive Commonwealth and the injustices in the Commonwealth. I don't see it as an all-inclusive Commonwealth yet, and will be looking forward to contributing to make it one," she added.
Comfort hopes to attend the next CHOGM 2020 as a delegate for the Women's Forum in Rwanda and is looking forward to assist in achieving its objectives.

My blog posts over the last three days featured a hornbill, a mesmerising view of the sea and a kayak. If you are like me then these would be the perfect ingredients for a holiday- a bit of birding and nature walks, a lot of time spent by the beach either lounging or walking or swimming and a bit of kayaking. So it was quite amazing that I actually managed to land upon a perfect resort island that put them all together- Vivanta by Taj Rebak Island. I normally do not review hotel stays in my blog- but Rebak Island just had to feature here as it has been one of the best holidays I have ever had.
Rebak Island is a small island off the main island of Langkawi in Malaysia. It is entirely owned by the Taj and is completely isloated from everywhere else which makes it just perfect if you want a beach vacation with absolutely no distractions. You arrive at the airport in Langkawi and from there are whisked to a slightly massive but dilapidated (think MRTS stations along OMR road if you are from Chennai, India) port terminal. There is however a charming corner of this terminal complete with comfy sofas, TV etc where you wait for the ferry that will take you to Rebak Island.
If you time your arrival well, the entire distance from Langkawi airport to the hotel only takes about 25 minutes. In the worst case scenario it might take you slightly more than an hour- this is because you only have about one boat an hour. You arrive at a nice marina at Rebak Island and from there are taken by buggies to the main reception area. If you have ever visited Vivanta by Taj Fisherman's Cove near Chennai then the layout of Rebak Island feels very familiar (but a couple of notches above in my opinion).
The rooms are nice and comfortable- before I went I read a lot of reviews talking about aging furniture needing a revamp- I'm sorry but I didn't see this. My room was large, spacious with a great view of the beach and the sea. (I took the deluxe sea view room- if you however want an unrestricted view of the water and are ok about not having to walk a bit to the beach, then take one of the partial seaview rooms- they are cheaper but have the more perfect view in my opinion). The only gripe I had with the furniture was the really sharp cornered centre table against which both me and my mum kept hitting ourselves. Please Taj, can you round off those sharp corners?
Although the resort is isolated from the main island there is a lot to do.
1. Beach- Ok if you are looking for perfect white sands and transparent blue water and a super large expanse of beach then Rebak is certainly not the place for you (I've heard the Datai is good for that). But if you like me just want a nice homely beach where you can wade and swim in the water without having to be worried about drowning or if you just want to laze in a deck chair or a hammock then this beach is it! The beach is very clean but the sand is a bit dark because of the rocks.
2. Water sports: Without even having to leave the island you can do a few water sports. You can kayak to your heart's content at high tide- and once I was out kayaking for almost an hour round the island- this is very safe too & free. If you are willing to shell out a few MYRs then you can also opt for parasailing, jet ski etc., They are more expensive than when you take them from the public beaches at Cenang etc but they are also safer. The hotel also arranges for other activities such as mangrove kayaking, snorkelling at Pulau Payar etc if you have a lot of days at the island and don't mind going out.
3. Bird Watching & Nature Trails: The island is home to a large number of oriental pied hornbills- you can see them almost everywhere. But you can also see other birds such as the black naped oriole, many species of kingfishers and woodpeckers. The hotel has helpfully prepared a brochure of birds and plants that are present in the island- this is quite useful. There are also a couple of fairly interesting walking trails around the island (each taking about 20 minutes to walk) so you can spend your early mornings or late evenings feeling even more cut off from your current isolation.
4. Sunsets & Sunrises: There are really amazing viewpoints for sunsets and sunrises from the island. We almost missed the sunset but a helpful staff member whisked us off on his buggy right at the last minute to this vantage spot from where we could see the sun slowly going down- bidding us a good evening!
In short this is a perfect destination if you just would like to unwind and leave your cares behind. This is not ideal if you are looking to do a lot of shopping at the duty free shops in Langkawi (unless you don't mind taking the ferry) or if you are looking for nightlife and such. You just have to be clear about what you want.
Yes, there is only one restaurant on the island and they really only have one menu and yes it is a bit on the pricier side (remember you are still at the Taj- so be prepared to spend a bit). But as vegetarians we had enough options to go around for the 4 days we were there (and so omnivores will have an even better choice I am guessing).
The service at times can have glimpses of sloppiness (such as throwing away my plastic camera bubble wrap covers), not replacing shower caps, not enough towels etc., but all you have to do is just give the guest service desk a call and they immediately take care of the problem. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the general manager Sandip took personal care of us- this is the signature Taj hospitality style- trust me you can't go wrong!
All in all a wonderful stay! I am thinking if I should now swap my multiple times a year trip to Fisherman's cover with a once a year trip to Rebak Island Langkawi!
(Oh yes! I almost forgot- one thing that could be annoying for a few people is that the island is directly under the flight path of planes landing at LGK airport so you are going to see and hear a lot of flights land but this happens only at certain times during the day and not too early in the morning or late at night. If you love planes like I do, this is one more added attraction).

Jennifer Love Hewitt (born February 21, 1979) is an American actress, producer and singer. Hewitt began her career as a child actress and singer, appearing in national television commercials before joining the cast of the Disney Channel series Kids Incorporated (1989–1991) as well as performing as a backup singer. She received her breakthrough role as Sarah Reeves Merrin on the Fox teen drama Party of Five (1995–1999) and rose to fame as a teen star for her role as Julie James in the horror film I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) and its 1998 sequel, as well as Amanda Beckett in the teen comedy film Can't Hardly Wait (1998).
Hewitt starred alongside Sigourney Weaver in the romantic comedy film Heartbreakers (2001) and alongside Jackie Chan in the action comedy film The Tuxedo (2002). From 2005 to 2010, Hewitt starred as Melinda Gordon on the CBS supernatural drama Ghost Whisperer, for which she received two Saturn Awards in 2007 and 2008. She later starred on the Lifetime drama series The Client List from 2012 to 2013, and was previously nominated for a Golden Globe Award for the pilot film. From 2014 to 2015, she starred as Special Agent Kate Callahan on the CBS crime drama Criminal Minds. Since 2018, Hewitt has starred as Maddie Buckley on the Fox police procedural 9-1-1.
In music, Hewitt released her debut studio album Love Songs (1992) at age 12 exclusively in Japan. Thereafter, she signed with Atlantic Records for her second and third studio albums, Let's Go Bang (1995) and Jennifer Love Hewitt (1996), both of which were commercially unsuccessful. Hewitt's fourth and most recent studio album to date BareNaked (2002) was released by Jive Records and became her first album to chart in the United States, peaking at number 37 on the Billboard 200 chart. Her most successful single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart was the 1999 release "How Do I Deal", which peaked at number 59. In addition to music and acting, Hewitt has served as a producer on some of her film and television projects. Hewitt was identified as the "number one reader choice" on the November 1999 and May 2009 covers of Maxim. TV Guide named her the sexiest woman on television in 2008.

Make sure that you understand the difference between managed and un-managed web hosting. Those that are managed can be invaluable to you if you are not an expert yourself on the intricacies of maintaining a website. You will want to choose a managed one who has excellent availability of technical support teams.
Be wary of review sites that are also affiliates of a web hosting company. While affiliate marketing is a legitimate sales approach, if a site is being paid a commission for sales of a product or service, they are more likely to review it favorably. After all, they will not make any affiliate money if nobody makes a purchase. Instead, look for user reviews or recommendations from friends and family if you want unbiased opinions.
You should know that not all web hosting services support Flash plug in. Using Flash on your site allows you to create a more interactive experience for your visitors, for instance with videos, games and new design possibilities. If you are not planning on using Flash, this is not a feature you should worry about.
If you want to use a shopping cart software, make sure it is compatible with your web host. A good web host should support certain features such as Web scripting, dynamic content or executable files. These features will allow you to add different ways for your visitors to interact with your website, for instance by leaving feedback.
Be sure that you know what type of operating system you will need for hosting (UNIX based or Windows based). There are many hosting companies that will provide either UNIX or Linux operating system-based serves, though you have to be sure that this is what you are going to need to use.
When on the prowl for a web host, aim to select one that always has news and other announcements. A host that always has news is one whose company is growing and whose services are striving to be improved. This also lets you better estimate where this company will be at in the future. A host whose company doesn't have many announcements is likely one that isn't evolving. Therefore, you should steer away from these.
When you are choosing a web hosting company, it is important that you rely on more than just one or two pieces of advice on a recommendation. Many recommendations are from people who haven't even experienced the web hosting company that they are recommending. Choose wisely, do your research, and know many things about the company that you choose.
If you can't manage to host your domains, provide your own fiber-optics, or design the next generation of topology maps; you should stick with finding a good host. A decent world wide web host is the backbone of any professional company and your choice in hosting providers will create a domino-effect throughout your audience.

From an article in Vox entitled How many American atheists are there really?
How to find "closet atheists"
So if you can't ask people outright whether they're atheist and get an honest response, how do you go about finding them?
Gervais and Najle set up a very subtle test. They sent a nationally representative poll to 2,000 Americans, who were randomly assigned to two conditions.
The first condition asked participants to read through a bunch of statements like, "I am a vegetarian," "I own a dog," and, "I have a dishwasher in my kitchen."
All the participants had to do was simply write down the number of statements that were true for them.
The value of this method is that participants don't have to directly say, "I am a vegetarian," or, "I'm a dog owner" — they only have to acknowledge the number of statements that apply to them. That alone should zero out any embarrassment or hesitance to admit to a particular item.
That's important because the other 1,000 or so participants saw the exact same list — but with one statement added: "I believe in God."
By comparing the responses between the two groups, Gervais and Najle could then estimate how many people don't believe in God. (Because both groups of 1,000 poll takers should, in theory, have the same number of vegetarians, dog owners, and so on in each group, any increases in the number of agreed-to statements from the first group to the second should be reflective of the number of people who don't believe in God.)
One thing is clear from the results: Much more than 10 or 11 percent of the country (as assessed in Gallup and Pew polling) does not believe in God. "We can say with a 99 percent probability that it's higher than [11 percent]," said Gervais.
His best estimate: Around 26 percent of Americans don't believe in God. "According to our samples, about 1 in 3 atheists in our country don't feel comfortable disclosing their lack of belief," Najle explains in an email.
Gervais admits this method isn't perfect, and yields an answer with a wide margin of error. (On the other end of the margin of error, around 35 percent of Americans don't believe in God.) But the most fundamental question he and Najle are asking here is do polling firms like Gallup and Pew undercount atheists? And it seems the answer is yes.

After cleaning out my childhood closet, I have all of my surviving comics together in three longboxes, plus a smaller box for the handful of comics I bought in college and adulthood. I don't really want or need them — everything I enjoyed as a kid I've since bought in multiple trade and hardcover collections and/or digital formats, and at this point they're just occupying space and presenting a possible fire hazard.
So I want to get rid of them, and I want some form of remuneration, hopefully, but I'm not really sure if most of them are worth much. I can't say that I had great taste in comics when I was growing up, and I haven't taken the best care of them over the years (though they have spent most of their existence in a dark, dry space). There are a handful of things that I imagine are fairly valuable and in decent condition, like complete runs of Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns, and partial runs of Sandman. The rest, though, is pretty forgettable — Transformers, G.I. Joe, Marvel Two-in-One, etc., and not in necessarily great shape. I had an almost complete run of Uncanny X-Men by Byrne and Austin (including a couple of autographed issues!), but they're in horrible condition from being read over and over again. (We didn't have trade paperbacks in the '80s, kids.)
So what are my options? I have a couple of friends with kids who are 8-9 years old, and I've thought about giving the age-appropriate stuff to them, but I can't imagine most digital age kids would want to read 30-year-old Fantastic Four and New Mutants comics. I've heard that there are also donation services that give comics to hospitals and the military, so I've thought about that as well.
So should I just find a comics shop willing to look at my stuff? Should I buy an Overstreet guide beforehand to appraise my collection? Or should I get an eBay account? Honestly at this point I'd rather just take the fastest, easiest route.

Hi Robbie, Yeah I found it in an Irish forum and the comments of local people were saying that she is singing in her brother's marriage and that it is the song that most of Irish kids learn .. so it was easy for her :)
Hi Muskan! Indeed she has a beautiful voice! I like this video! But unfortunately I barely understand 50% of her singing without lyrics:)
Thank you for sharing!
That's awesome! I love the cheering sound and beats. I think it's an Irish trademark. The lady nailed it considering it's 5 in the morning. I bet the beer or whisky has boosted her confidence to sing it remarkably...
I was challenged to understand her pronunciation! Hooray! :)

"and no arrests were made"
Raids by Dallas FBI and San Antonio FBI resulted in a combined five arrests and two recovered teens.
The FBI said three teenage girls, ages 15, 16 and 17, from the Houston area were recovered. The Houston FBI said the girls were working as prostitutes and no arrests were made.
"Child prostitution remains a persistent threat to children across America," said Ron Hosko, assistant director of the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division. "This operation serves as a reminder that these abhorrent crimes can happen anywhere and that the FBI remains committed to stopping this cycle of victimization and holding the criminals who profit from this exploitation accountable."
FBI : Prostitution crackdown results in rescue of 105 children, including 3 in Houston. KSAT.com, 7/29/2013.
A crime so "persistent…abhorrent" there are no arrests? No pimp at all or a john for statutory rape, nobody? We're supposed to applaud the authorities for not arresting the girls for prostitution? Maybe if men got arrested more often, and this is fueled by men, maybe it wouldn't be so fucking "persistent" a "threat."

Myriad of Tips For Renting a Portable Potty by Crofton, Maryland!
Acquiring a porta potty might not be on the top of your mind on a regular basis, yet when you find yourself needing them you're going to benfit from a heads up on what's included in the process.Most people used a porta potty at some time in their life, but when the time comes to actually acquire several for an event, the taks can bemore challenging than you might think.
Although it's often the last thing a person thinks of when attending a special occasion, the restroom option is actually the most important aspect of any big get together, as the fun wouldn't last very long if attendees couldn't relieve themselves. If you're hosting a sizable gathering, the selection of a portable toilet might be the last thing on your list to acquire, but the fact is it can make or break the success of your event. There are many more varieties of porta potties than you may think and you'll need to make sure you choose the right options to avoid long lines or issues.
Foremost, consider the different porta potty options that you'll be presented with when choosing a vendor. One of your selections could be between standard porta potties and toilet trailers, a choice that can be made depending on the size and how formal your gathering will be. A good question to ask your portable toilet company is what variety of hand washing selections they have with their stalls and any options for lighting if your event will linger into the evening. Also, don't forget to inquire about how the toilets are serviced during especially long events, events in hot weather, and events with a large number of attendees.
The most ideal choice for basic portable toilet rentals involving smaller events are typically going to be the single-stall option that you often see on construction sites. On the other hand, there are other nicer bathroom trailers that provide a full room for people to use. The portable toilet services include toilet paper, and some of them also have antibacterial hand sanitizer. If you have a smaller event and just want to have the most basics of portable toilets, you can also opt for an external hand washing area. Some of the higher end portable toilets actually come with inside running water, soap dispensers and sometimes air fresheners if you want a better experience.
The most important decision you can make before renting is to figure out how many portable toilets you will need for your guests. The rule of thumb for portable toilet quantities versus crowd size is that you will require one stall for every ten people, if you are utilizing them on a construction area or longer term project. Suggestions on how many porta potties you will need for your event will vary by supplier, but usually you will need at least two stalls for an 8-hour party with fifty people or less. Dozens of porta potties could easily be required for larger events such as concerts, sizable weddings or parties.
There are a variety of situations where you can benefit by having a portable toilet rental on site for any occasion that involves large amounts of people. Situations where you may want to consider renting quality portable restrooms are weddings, business events or charity fundraisers. Whenever you are expecting people who are going to be dressing in in formal attire, it makes sense to opt for the more upscale portable toilet selections. The purpose of these protable toilets would be to try and replicate the bathroom experience a person would enjoy while at a typical indoors event.
To rent a porta potty, you should know about the options it comes with. Your average portable toilet should come with the basic requirements such as tissue paper, hand sanitizer, a holding tank and paper seat covers. A high end flushing toilet has more sanitary options besides having the selections of a basic restroom. Some of the selections you could go with include higher end portable toilets with hand soap dispensers, washing stations and mirrors. These addons are great for large outdoor weddings or upscale events because guests will want to see how they look, and having an indoor light is a recommended amenity.
When it comes to the price of your porta potty rental there are a few factors that will impact it. Your portable toilets will be more expensive if you decide on nicer options such as lights, running water or sinks. Next, the length of time will also have a role in the cost of acquiring portable restrooms, and the more days you need them for, the higher the fees will be. The cost will also fluctuate depending on how far the rental company needs to travel to transport the stalls to your event, so you might want to go with the rental company that is closest to reduce transport costs. Often times companies will offer you a price reduction if you've done business with them several times in the past as well. No matter which vendor you select for your portable toilet rental, now that you know the basics of the rental process you'll be equiped to ask the right questions and the enjoy the lowest prices.

I honestly don't know how I never thought of doing this post before, but it's never too late, so here I am. As you all know if you read my blog every now and then, (and if not, you can figure it out by the title 😉) mysteries are my favorite thing in the world. And I'll never get tired of reading books about police detectives or private investigators. In fact, my boyfriend always teases me because of that: "Wow, a book about a murder investigation, you're really stepping outside your comfort zone this time". Needless to say, I'm proud of that. Today I wanted to share a list of some of my favorite detectives in books. Of course I might need to include new ones every month, but for now, this is my list.
Tracy Crosswhite
Okay, so Tracy is not the most fascinating character ever, but whenever I read Robert Dugoni's books, I feel like I'm visiting an old friend. Or rather, old friends: Dan, Kins, Del and Faz are part of the team as well. I love how Tracy changed careers because of her sister and I like that she's always caring and honest with her team.
I love Tennison because when the series began, she was young and naïve and she was different from most protagonists. The books are set in the 70s so everything was different back then, but Jane Tennison's journey is wonderful to read. The books are pretty different from classic procedurals and that's why I'm such a fan of this series and Tennison in particular.
Aidan Waits
Aidan Waits is a complicated character, but after only two books, I can honestly say that I love how he always does everything he can in order to solve the case. He's not your typical cop, but he's simply great. His books are dark, gritty and atmospheric and I hope Joseph Knox changes his mind and decides it's going to be a longer series!
Miss Marple
Everyone loves Poirot, but I'm a Miss Marple girl. She's not young and she seems innocent, but she's the smartest person in the room. She takes advantage of her appearance and solves all the crimes as quickly as Poirot ever did. Plus, she's so much fun, I need to read more books featuring her.
Patrik Hedstrom and Erica Falck
After reading nine books, you start getting familiar with the characters, and that's exactly what happens with this series. Patrik Hedstrom is lovely, he's maybe the opposite of Aidan Waits, but I find him so endearing… and Erica is not even a cop (she's a writer), but they make a great team. Camilla Lackberg's books are always so entertaining that I can count on them when I don't know what to read.
I didn't think Flanagan books were translated into English, but I've just found out there's actually one. I had to feature him here. He was my first fictional crush, he started the first book as a fourteen-year-old boy and now I think he's more or less my age. He lives in Barcelona and he's had tons of girlfriends, but any Flanagan fan knows that #TeamNines is the right team. This series is both hilarious (I've laughed SO MUCH) and incredibly dark. I remember being a bit traumatized when I read his books as a teen. I seriously can't wait for another installment, but the authors write one book every 5 years or so. Eleven books so far, some of them I've read many times.
Cormoran Strike & Robin
Okay, so now I'm kind of cheating, because I've only read the first book in the series, but I had to feature Strike and Robin because I watched the tv show last month and I fell in love with their dynamic. So much, that I want to read book four whenever JK Rowling decides it's time to publish it 🙄 Their relationship is the best and Robin is so lovely!
Imogen Grey & Adrian Miles
Imogen Grey and Adrian Miles. These two are also another one of my favorite duos. They're really interesting as characters and I love how strong their friendship is even though they're so different. They aren't perfect and they do not always do the right thing, but I love this series and I would love to get to know them even better. The fourth book by Katerina Diamond will be released after summer.
Lacey Flint
Lacey Flint IS fascinating. I don't even like her most of the time, but I still love her. Is that weird? This is probably the most consistent series, in the sense that I don't even know which book is my favorite. Sharon Bolton is just too good. And well, I couldn't not mention my book-boyfriend Joesbury 😉.
Kim Stone
I literally don't know anyone who doesn't like the Kim Stone series. Do you? Kim is strong, fierce, loyal and she's a great boss. The cases are fascinating, you can't help but love her team (Dawson 💚) and I could keep reading Angela Marson's books until the day I die. That's how much I love this series.
Patrick Kenzie & Angie Gennaro
Last, but not least, Patrick & Angie. I've already mentioned them many times before, but I had to add them because I haven't still processed the fact that there are not going to be more novels featuring the two of them. The Boston setting makes this a really dark series but Patrick's personality was my favorite aspect.
So… which are yours?

In his early 20s, Ben suffer a major back injury. On the recommendation of his general practitioner, he underwent an invasive back surgery. It was unsuccessful. His doctor told him to 'get used to being disabled.'
Unsatisfied, Ben looked to other forms of treatment. The problem was, the surgery treated his symptom (a bulging disc) rather than the cause (torn ligaments).
Between the ages of 23 and 24, he underwent 6 rounds of prolotherapy treatments, which specifically treated his torn ligaments. The localized injections promoted the body's natural ability to heal itself.
The Result: Ben went from being unable to walk a city block to surfing and working out regularly.
In recent years, Ben turned again to prolotherapy when he had problems with his knees. As a baseball coach, he liked to be active and run with his players. Unfortunately, knee pain kept him from running.
Following his prolotherapy treatments, he's been able to resume running, has regained his athleticism, and has almost no pain on a daily basis.
Prolotherapy Can Help Improve Mental State
After receiving prolotherapy treatment, Ben no longer needed pain killers or drink alcohol to dull his pain. For Ben, this was been a surprising and enjoyable benefit of prololotherapy.

Boekie Boekie
We are thrilled to have been invited to create a work for the very beautiful Boekie Boekie, a Dutch children's magazine that has been running for 21 years and has 88 published issues! The creators of the magazine have also created a wonderful project called Poem Express where children from all over the world make Poem Posters.
Together we worked responsively to develop words and an image inspired by the theme of Pinocchio/Pinokkio that will be featured in Issue 89.
No Strings Attached
walk me into the world
walk me into the world
and wait while I think
breathe into my bones
so I can speak
give me time to stand up
after foal-like sink
carve space in my joints
to new worlds undone
attach strings to my heart
and see how I run

Maverick at Livingston: The pros of condo fees
Hello Maverick fans,
Since starting in Maverick at Livingston I've been asked a ton about condo fees, so this week I wanted to share the PROS of condo fees. Yes — I said pros. These fees are an additional monthly cost on top of your mortgage payment, however, they cover the majority of bills that you would typically be paying on a monthly basis living in a house.
In Maverick at Livingston, condo fees range from $187.94 to $319.06 a month and they include the following: gas, water, heat, sewer, landscaping and snow removal, waste and recycling, building insurance, road and parking maintenance, common area electrical costs, parkade maintenance, janitorial in common areas, window cleaning, reserve fund study fees, reserve fund contribution and management fees. I know! Good deal, right? The only additional cost will be your electrical, which averages $50 a month.
So get rid of all those obnoxious bills and just focus on one!
Still have questions? I was hoping you'd say that. Come visit me in Livingston and I will be happy to discuss more in detail and show you our beautiful floorplans.
Happy house hunting!!
Kayla @ Maverick

The Pipe Smoking Golfer
How do you like my opening line from when I met Markko. I see that you are a pipe smoker, that's a dying breed! After we laughed about that I learned that Markko is a pensioner. He lives in Handen, and is a keen golfer. He was on his way home from the indoor driving range in Jordbro when we met yesterday. When the golf season starts in a few weeks time chances are that you will find Markko at the Fors golf club in Västerhaninge, because that's where he plays most of his golf. This is only my ninth portrait of the year. Last year I took 110 street portraits for this blog. I wonder if I can beat that this year.

A strange implement for a golfer... I smoked the pipe for a while (a few years) and still have most of them.

You are so right about the pipe. You don't see them very much anymore. My grandfather used to smoke a pipe much like this one.

I was thinking the other day that you hadn't done as many portraits lately - maybe because people have been all bundled up in their winter clothing?

That is correct janerowena, much easier to shoot street portraits when it it a bit warmer and you can actually see the person!

wow, 110 portraits is pretty good. You'll run out of people soon.

Tampon tax campaign: victory
Labour claims victory for common sense as tampon tax abolished.
By Sarah Pine.
Paula Sherriff has claimed a "huge victory" for common sense after Government ministers admitted defeat and said they would not oppose a Labour vote to scrap the tampon tax.
The Dewsbury MP today pushed David Cameron to confirm the tax on sanitary products – the "vagina added tax" as she dubbed it – would be scrapped following pressure from Tory rebels and Labour.
The five per cent tax is levied on all sanitary products because, under EU law, they are classed as luxury goods.
Sherriff's victory is thought to be the first time an Opposition backbench MP has proposed an amendment to the Budget which has been accepted by ministers.
George Osborne was criticised after the Budget for his failure to reverse an earlier decision in which he said revenues from the tax would go to women's charities. Campaigners spoke out against the implication that feminine health is considered a luxury and against his underfunding of women's charities.
Sherriff has called on the government to confirm how the tax will be dropped and to ensure women's charities do not suffer from the change.
"We now need final clarity on how and when the tax will be dropped… The Chancellor also needs to guarantee secure, long-term funding for the vital women's charities and services that were receiving the money raised by VAT on sanitary products.
"The test now will be for producers and retailers to pass the savings on to consumers and to work with the Government to make sure the charities which had a funding boost from the tampon tax don't lose out.
"I am writing to manufacturers and retailers today to ask them to meet with me very soon to reach an agreement on that, and hope for government support."
Jeremy Corbyn paid tribute to Sherriff this afternoon when responding to Cameron's statement on the EU, commending her "hard work" in overturning the tax.
Osborne announced the tax would be scrapped after the Prime Minister attended an EU summit in Brussels at the weekend.
In 2000 Gordon Brown reduced the tax from 17.5 per cent to its current rate but did not announce it in parliament – apparently because he was too embarrassed to dwell on the details.
A version of this article appeared on the LabourList website on 21 March 2016. To support campaign-founder Laura Coryton's on-going global campaign click here.

Open ended questions don't need to trip you up when you're asked them during your job interview. They're going to be a part of probably every interview you have, so it's a good idea to get as familiar as possible with them ahead of time so you have well-prepared and thoughtful answers at the ready.
Open ended questions are asked by hiring managers for a few reasons. First, they're a great way to gauge your personality and your genuine level of interest in the company and role. An open ended question is an evaluation technique to determine if you're a good fit for the company culture. It's also a great way for a hiring manager to determine if you have qualifications that are needed for the role.
Most people find open ended questions intimidating because there are no cut and dry answers. There are plenty of different ways you can answer them, but the most important thing to keep in mind is that you're being honest and sincere. Strong answers that focus on the reasons you're the best fit for the job will help you make a lasting impression with the hiring manager.
There are many different types of open ended questions. Some are behavior interview related questions that ask you to talk about a time when you were challenged. Others are more situationally related, that ask you to explain how you would handle a hypothetical situation. There are other types of open ended questions that are more anecdotal. These questions are asked so the hiring manager can learn more about you in your own words. You'll be asked these sorts of questions as a way of evaluating your competency and ability to perform the job for which you're applying.
Because open ended questions are going to vary based on the interviewer and the job, there's no one way to best prepare. But there are certain things you can focus on to provide the hiring manager with the best possible response.
Make sure you're focusing on the job description, skills, and experience needed to be successful in the role. For example, if you're asked about a time when you were successful in your last role, try to word the answer so it includes the skills needed for the role that you're interviewing.
Examples are a great way to bridge the gap between what you were doing in the military and what you're hoping to do as a civilian worker. Explaining a past experience in detail and the actions you took to overcome the challenge will help you provide a robust and detailed answer.
Most importantly, try to be as concise as possible with your answers. You want to add depth where possible, but just make sure you aren't talking for too long about one particular event. A good interview should feel like an ebb and flow between you and the hiring manager. The most important thing to keep in mind is that all of your answers to open ended questions should be authentic and add value to who you are as a worker.

Michael Galván, Principal
John and Ida Wolff Chair
"What a never-ending inspiration Ithaca is for artistry! Is it Cayuga's waters? The energy in the air from all our students? The many, MANY days when the weather outside is perfect for practicing indoors? It most definitely is the people — those whom I sit next to in the orchestra or in chamber groups, all the wonderful people in the audience, the stupendous musicians from all over the world who work with us as visitors or partners or leaders — it all adds up to make Ithaca and the CCO unique. Of the many moments I cherish from thirty years in the orchestra, I particularly prize the memory of our performance of the Britten War Requiem. The depth of the music, the stage filled to capacity with two orchestras and chorus, amazing soloists, the musicianship of our conductor, and the angelic Ithaca Children's Choir led by Janet Galván, who was about to give birth at any moment to our daughter. Truly a night to remember!"
Michael Galván has been principal clarinetist of the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra since 1985, appearing as a soloist under music directors Carl St. Clair, Heiichiro Ohyama, Kimbo Ishii, and in 2009, Lanfranco Marcelletti. He has performed with the Ariadne String Quartet, Ensemble X, Syracuse Symphony, Skaneateles Festival, Glimmerglass Opera, Binghamton Symphony, Champaign-Urbana Symphony, and the Orchestra of Santa Fe. He has taught and performed across the United States, in Europe, and in China and Japan. Mr. Galván is also the clarinetist of the venerable Ithaca Wind Quintet, Professor of Music at Ithaca College, and is a past president of the International Clarinet Association.
