Triad's unemployment rate at lowest level since May 2008
The Triad's unemployment rate continued its sharp drop during April, falling 0.5 percentage points to 6.1 percent, the N.C. Commerce Department reported Wednesday, according to the Winston-Salem Journal.
The rate is down from 8 percent in April 2013.
The April 2014 rate is the Triad's lowest since the 5.9 percent level in May 2008 – four months before the first major blow from the economic downturn was felt.
The unemployment rates were down in a similar range in the state's other three major metro areas.
Economists have been mixed on whether a January rate increase, as well as the rate being unchanged in March, were signs of a bump in the road of the "Carolina comeback" that Gov. Pat McCrory and Republican legislative leaders have touted since weekly unemployment insurance benefits were cut by the General Assembly in July.
They also pointed to poor winter weather conditions affecting employer hiring and applicant job searches in February and March.
The jobless rates for the Winston-Salem metropolitan statistical area dropped 0.5 percentage points to 5.7 percent, while Forsyth County tumbled an equal amount to 5.8 percent. That's the lowest level each has been at since 5.5 percent in May 2008.
The MSA consists of Davie, Forsyth, Stokes and Yadkin counties. Davidson County was crafted into the MSA by a federal agency in March 2013, but its employment data has yet to be factored into the region.
Yadkin has the lowest rate for the Triad and Northwest North Carolina at 4.9 percent, down from 5.5 percent. Alleghany County experienced the largest rate drop for the 14-county area, going from 8.5 percent to 6.7 percent.
What the rate drop means, though, remains open to debate.
For example, there was a decrease of 330 in the Forsyth labor force during April for a total of 176,337. The labor force is defined as those who have a job or actively looking.
There also were 761 fewer Forsyth residents listed as unemployed, to 10,307.
When people stop looking for work, they are no longer considered unemployed for the purpose of calculating the jobless rate, which tends to lower the rate. The data does not distinguish how many of those workers are full time, temporary or part time.
Commerce reported the Winston-Salem MSA had a net gain of 900 jobs from March to April, but only a 600 net gain year over year.
There was a net monthly gain of 400 jobs in the leisure and hospitality sector, along with a net gain of 200 jobs each in professional and business services, and in government. None of the 11 employer sectors posted a loss in jobs during April.
By comparison, the Greensboro-High Point MSA had a net gain of 2,100 jobs from March to April, and a net gain of 900 jobs year over year. The monthly net gain leaders: 1,700 jobs in leisure and hospitality and 700 in trade, transportation and utilities. There were losses of 400 jobs in government and 300 in professional and business services.
Several research groups, such as the Economic Policy Institute, say there are at least three applicants for every job opening in North Carolina.
The traditional jobless rate does not include several categories of people, including those who have stopped looking for work, including for job training or other educational efforts, are retired, are underemployed for their work skills, are able to work full time but can only get part-time work, or are receiving a severance package after the elimination of their job.
A rate compiled by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U6 index, includes those categories. As of March 31, the U6 index rate for North Carolina was 13.6 percent compared with 12.3 percent nationally as of April 30.
Michael Walden, an economics professor at N.C. State University, said a "geographic disparity" remains with the rates among the state's largest metros.
Commerce reported the Charlotte-Gastonia Rock Hill, S.C., MSA created 1,700 jobs from March to April, and 17,600 jobs year over year. The Raleigh-Cary MSA created 4,000 jobs from March to April, and 22,200 jobs year over year.
"The big metro areas are on a roll, while many of the smaller metros are struggling." Walden said.
Mark Vitner, a senior economist with Wells Fargo Securities, said the April rates are more evidence of a "broadening recovery across North Carolina and the Triad."
"While job growth remains relatively sluggish, there has been a pronounced decline in layoffs and cutbacks. Construction and manufacturing activity have both increased and many municipal governments appear to be cautiously hiring again.
"Gains are extremely uneven, however, and more rural parts of the state and the Triad tend to be lagging behind areas closer into Winston-Salem and Greensboro."

As some of you may already be aware, several large babywearing groups have recently been engaged in the effort to change the terminology ofrebozo to describe a woven wrap carry and a type of pass. For those not aware, rebozos are a woven fabric used in Mesoamerica for a variety of purposes and with important cultural significance, including babywearing. In support of the wishes of babywearers of Mesoamerican heritage to reserve this term only for these fabrics and #takebacktherebozo, Babywearing International and BWI of Cleveland will be no longer be using the term to describe wrap carries or wrap passes. There are ongoing conversations about what terms will be replacing them. Wearing Wiki has some current suggestions, but discussions are ongoing.

Patrick McAvoy knew his job had some drawbacks. As a contract employee at the University of Maryland-Baltimore, he lacked benefits and long-term stability, but he stayed on as an events coordinator for three years, hoping to be hired full time and seeing little opportunity elsewhere.
This year, the job market shifted, and by spring, he had two offers.
"It was pretty stunning. You send out resumes so many times and don't hear anything back. Then you hear back from multiple places, and all of them are good opportunities for your future," said McAvoy, 28, who turned down an information technology job at the Johns Hopkins University to be an events planner for the Downtown Partnership of Baltimore.
McAvoy's good fortune illustrates a significant shift in the slowly recovering job market. As hiring picks up across the nation, more people are leaving their jobs voluntarily — a promising sign for workers, companies and the economy.
The "quit rate" — the percentage of American workers who leave jobs voluntarily — has risen to the highest level in four years. That shows that workers are more confident about finding new jobs, said Sophia Koropeckyj, an economist with Moody's Economy.com.
"When people change jobs, they (usually) change to better jobs and change to higher-paying jobs," Koropeckyj said. "When people don't change jobs, they can be dissatisfied, and morale is low. If they're there because they're afraid to leave the job, that could have an effect on productivity. The ability to change jobs is a good sign in the economy."
The number of available jobs, which plummeted to less than 2.2 million in July 2009 during the recession, has averaged nearly 3.8 million since the beginning of 2013, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Despite the nation's job growth, the economic recovery has been slow — and its prospects remain uncertain. Many job seekers have been forced to accept lower-paying jobs than they held before the recession.
Sequestration, the automatic federal spending cuts designed to reduce the deficit, as well as the expiration of the payroll tax holiday have prevented the economy from growing more quickly, said Richard P. Clinch, director of economic research for the University of Baltimore's Jacob France Institute. Additionally, the global recession and the slower growth of China's economy have reduced exports.
Until consumers become more optimistic about the economy's future, they won't be spending; businesses, in turn, won't reinvest profits until customers return, Clinch said. Even as conditions improve, job openings must grow another 10 percent to 20 percent to get back to pre-recession levels, he added.
With the expansion of the job market, more than half of the 153 organizations surveyed by consulting firm OI Partners reported higher turnover, according to research released in May. And that involved all types of jobs, including middle managers and senior-level executives.
Employers are responding — especially to supervisors and those tagged as future leaders — by offering job coaching and increasing pay and benefits, said Patty Prosser, chair of OI Partners. Front-line employees are being given improved training and perks such as tuition reimbursement and flexible hours and schedules.
"Companies are getting aggressive with counteroffers of more money or better quality of life," said Patrice Rice, founder of Patrice & Associates, a hospitality recruiting agency near Annapolis, Md. "A lot are starting to put together packages for employees that are more attractive. … The job seekers are using the new job offers to get a better opportunity at their current position."
Finding replacement workers, meanwhile, can be difficult.
In the restaurant industry, which traditionally has high turnover, replacing a manager can take two months, Rice said. The restaurant must advertise the job, screen candidates and conduct in-person interviews, background checks and personality tests, she said. Candidates are plentiful, but qualified ones are not, she added.
Even within the past year, employees were afraid to change jobs because of the nationwide financial instability, Rice said. "People were worried about whether a restaurant or hotel chain would be able to stay open or have to close a location."
But now confidence among workers in the hospitality industry is rising, she said. Restaurants are opening new locations, hotels are expanding, and companies are seeking managers, shift leaders, cooks and servers.
Some workers have become less willing to wait for raises.
"If you're told to wait a year, you don't want to wait a year," said Emily Testerman, a 2010 graduate of Stevenson (Md.) University who has found opportunities whenever she has looked into changing jobs. "You work hard and want to make more, so you look."
Testerman, 24, left a job in November to work as a retail marketing manager for Diamond Comic Distributors in Timonium, Md. It's the third company she's worked for out of college. She landed her first full-time job in fall 2010 as a public relations coordinator for Vitamin, a Canton, Md.-based graphic design and public relations firm, and worked there for a year.
"I ended up leaving because it really, really delved into the PR stuff, and … it wasn't my thing," she said. "I was super-grateful for working there but started looking 10 months in."
She was hired as an account manager at Adcieo LLC, a Baltimore agency that works with nonprofit groups on email campaigns. After working there for a year, she thought about looking elsewhere once again. Before she could start, she got a call from Diamond, which had interviewed her previously.
Her job with Diamond, for which she writes a column and newsletter aimed at comic shop owners, came with a bigger salary and more opportunity. For the first time, Testerman feels she won't need to start looking again anytime soon.
Testerman believes she has progressed because she's realistic and open-minded about her options. As an English major in college, she originally wanted to write for magazines.
"I don't scour the job sites searching for something that's exactly what I thought I wanted to do," she said. "I don't just search 'entertainment writer,' because that's not going to be there. You have to be flexible and realize you could end up somewhere that you could make work. If you can use the skills you've learned or you're good at, you'll do OK as long as you can move along there."
Many job seekers who applied for the more than 2,000 openings at Maryland Live casino in Hanover were hoping to use skills they had learned elsewhere to move into positions with more potential for advancement, said Howard Weinstein, the casino's senior vice president overseeing human resources.
Carol Pennachio, a 48-year-old Frederick, Md., native, had been working in hotel hospitality when she showed up at Maryland Live's hiring center the day it opened in January 2012. Recruiters there suggested that she interview for an entry-level steward position, and hinted at the potential for quick promotion. She's twice been given more responsibility and is now executive steward, managing six other supervisors.
"I just wanted to join a company that was growing, so that I could grow with it," Pennachio said. "Here was a chance to use skills I had learned elsewhere in a position that has better salary and better hours."
Weinstein said Maryland Live, owned by the Cordish Cos., has put incentives such as a free health clinic and discounted lunches in place to retain employees.
"We realize it's a competitive environment right now and that we need to do things to attract and keep quality people," he said.
Maryland Live has promoted 92 employees since opening last June. Still, the casino has seen several workers leave for better opportunities; a digital-media specialist left to become a project manager with a slot-machine manufacturer, and an entertainment manager took a similar position at a larger venue.
Job-hoppers have contributed to a jump in the nation's "quit rate," which hit 1.7 percent in January, February and April, the highest level in more than four years. The rate averaged 2.2 percent in 2005 and 2006, but plummeted during the recession, hitting a low of 1.2 percent in September 2009.
This so-called job churning can be seen among workers of all ages.
"Job churning is more of a younger-person game than an older-person's game," said Clinch of the University of Baltimore. "But in a recovery, churning is across the board."
A recent survey by online employment marketplace Monster showed the frustration many job seekers feel, with more than half of those surveyed struggling to find a job matching their salary, title and location preferences.
The survey of nearly 6,000 Monster users showed that 42 percent of job seekers who are employed are unhappy with their jobs. Most in that group plan to job-hunt in the next year and are confident about landing new jobs.
Monica Krausch, 35, of Aberdeen, Md., knows well that the current job market still has its share of hurdles.
"I'm embarrassed to say that the last three years, I've had five or six jobs, and I'm not one for job-hopping," she said.
Krausch has worked in the automotive industry for more than a decade, usually on commission in parts and service departments for high-end car dealerships. She's lost some jobs through layoffs and struggled to earn a living on commission.
She hoped for better with a new career, and went back to the Art Institute of York (Pa.) for an architecture and design degree. But her job search after graduation in January 2012 turned up only low-paying internships that wouldn't pay the bills. She returned to an auto-parts job but was laid off last summer.
She started a design and photography business, then in April finally found a job in her newly chosen field as a color consultant at a local paint store. The work is part time, for now.
Krausch depends on help from family to pay bills and repay a student loan.
"I'm doing everything in my power, as far as the job is concerned, to work myself up through the ranks," she said. "I would definitely like to make a career" here.

Japan's economy downgraded by Fitch on debt concerns
Japan's credit rating has been downgraded by two levels by rating agency Fitch on concerns about the country's high levels of debt.
Fitch cut Japan's rating to A+ from AA and warned that further downgrades were possible.
Japan has by far the highest debt to GDP ratio of any major economy, although much of this debt is held by domestic investors.
The government has spent huge amounts of money on trying to stimulate growth.
"The downgrades and negative outlooks reflect growing risks for Japan's sovereign credit profile as a result of high and rising public debt ratios," Fitch said.
"[Japan's] fiscal consolidation plan looks leisurely relative even to other fiscally-challenged high-income countries, and implementation is subject to political risk."
Following the downgrade, Japanese Finance Minister Jun Azumi said he would continue with plans to address rising debt levels.
"I would like to move ahead with fiscal reform, while making efforts to enact tax and social security reform bills," he said.
Strong growth
Japan's debts total more than twice its annual economic output, but because the majority of this debt is held domestically, the interest rate it has to pay to borrow money is very low - less than Germany and the US.
Unlike many highly-indebted countries in Europe, it therefore has no problems in raising funds to repay debts.
Last week, official figures showed that Japan's economy grew by 1% between January and March compared with the previous three months, as government spending helped fuel a recovery from last year's earthquake and tsunami.
That translates to an annualised growth rate of 4.1%, the government said, considerably higher than all eurozone economies, including Germany, and the US.
Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda has pledged to spend more than 20tn yen ($249bn; £156bn) on reconstruction, money that the government has to borrow.
However, if strong growth can be maintained following the stimulus, the government will be more able to pay down some of its debts.

Retrotec is more of a tribute to an idea and tradition than it is an actual company. Curtis Inglis builds his own fillet brazed Inglis Cycles frames on his family's Napa Valley farm, but he also builds Retrotec frames…
By Joel Kennedy
Retrotec is more of a tribute to an idea and tradition than it is an actual company. Curtis Inglis builds his own fillet brazed Inglis Cycles frames on his family's Napa Valley farm, but he also builds Retrotec frames, the brainchild of one Bob Seals.
After serving as a welder in the Air Force and then getting a degree in drafting, Curtis was riding his bike a lot and wondering what to do next. At the same time in the early nineties, Bob Seals and a group of like-minded yahoos were busy building Retrotec frames and generally playing with fire and metal. After various turns of events that probably
involved a lot of post-race reveries and enthusiastic conversations, the two guys decided to make a great idea (creating race worthy, stylish and straight-up beautiful bikes) come to fruition. Curtis became the primary welder and Bob kept busy working his magic. Now, Curtis builds Retrotecs himself, Bob collects royalty checks and it's all good.
The Retrotec is a full-blown mountain bike with the same curved tubing as the cruiser bikes of old; bent top and down tubes with extended, "beauty tubes" and arcing seat stays. And the design is further inspired by the philosophy of aesthetics. Cool looking things are cool, so why not make a bike that has a high level of artistic sensibility as well as performance?
Another part of this company's origin that interested me was the traditional, mentor/apprentice relationship that the two guys apparently had. On the one hand, you have the older Bob Seals; creator of the Cool Tool, homespun engineer, welder and visionary. And on the other there's Curtis; experienced and educated young buck, racing his bike and looking for good ideas. Put the two together and what do you get? A continuing artistic endeavor resulting in a quality product that, while being decidedly niche, has a very important and hopefully lasting place in the bike world.
Now, about Retrotec the bike; it looks like a cruiser, but it is not a cruiser. It's a strong, laterally stiff hardtail mountain bike that is very compliant over rough terrain. These characteristics come from the curved, straight gauge 4130 cromoly top, down and "beauty" tubes. The latter have a gusset at the junction with the seat tube that makes everything stay right where it should, instead of wiggling around like a wet noodle. The seat tube and chainstays are made of either butted Columbus or Reynolds tubing, depending on availability. The dropouts are by Breezer.
The measurements of my test ride were: 24.25" top tube, 18" seat tube (center to center), a 44" wheelbase and 16.5" long chainstays. The head tube angle was 71.5° and the seat tube angle was 73°. Pretty big yes, but I'm a rather tall person. And so is Curtis, so he built a bike for himself and then sent it to me for testing. They are available in small, medium and large for $1000. Custom sized frames (like the one I rode) are $100 more.
Adding to the clean lines of the Retrotec is the choice to use fillet brazing rather than TIG welding to bond the tubing. Fillet brazing is a bonding process that consists of melting a brazing alloy (in this case brass) evenly around the joints of the different tubes in such a way as to penetrate and adhere both the inner and outer surfaces of the tubing junction. The result is an utterly smooth transition from tube to tube that is so nice it'll make you say damn. And it's strong, too. The only spots that are TIG welded are the gussets where the head tube meets the down and top tubes, and on the rear dropouts. The frame also has neatly machined cable guides in all the right places.
As I received it, the Retrotec was ready to rip at 28.5 pounds. A Fox Float 100 RLC fork, Thompson stem and seat post, Easton bars, Chris King headset, XTR crank set and BB, SRAM shifters and derailleur were all stopped by Avid mechanical discs on Mavic tubeless wheels. It was pimpin' and I was ready to be turned out…or vice versa.
After building the bike, I was love struck. As it hung in the stand, it was so pretty. But Mom always said I couldn't have anything nice, I would only break it. So with the many affirmations of my Mom's statement rolling through my head, I took the maiden voyage…hesitantly. You see, it seemed too nice to ride. My bikes are more of the beater variety. I called Curtis to try to allay my fears. "It's meant to be ridden," he said. "I mean, I wouldn't go jumping off picnic tables with it, but I can build you one that can do that." All right, let's try again.
The next time out, I relaxed a bit more and began to see some of the unique ride characteristics that go along with the good looks. It seems that curves are more forgiving than sharp angles, allowing the tubing to "bounce" like a bridge span or the leaf springs of an automobile. This gives you a perceptible amount of suspension in a hardtail format, so to speak. It's something like the pivotless suspension-feel of the YBB design, only more subtle. What it amounts to are some serious vibration absorbing properties that made me start to wonder if Mr. Inglis might not be part alchemist. The combination of form and function is impressive in the Retrotec.
I decided that doing a race would be a quick way to overcome the glamour this bike had put on me. Fortunately, a night race at the local rock-strewn ski resort was coming up, so I had my opportunity. Immediately I knew things were going to be good. With the Fox up front and those curved stays under my butt, the rock gardens weren't bad at all. And the lateral stiffness that I mentioned earlier kept me from getting all twisted up in the technical sections. This bike ran true.
In fact, that race left such a good taste in my mouth that I asked if I might be able to use it in two more endurance races I've been working towards. Curtis was kind enough to allow it, even though he's currently without a geared hardtail of his own.
If you're looking for a unique, comfortable, stylish and overall class ride to add to the stable, you should definitely look into a Retrotec. It's the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden, and that gives one the opportunity to kick it enduro style for hours. Who needs 4" of front and rear travel for trail riding? What ever happened to finesse anyway?

Local 22
A mere week after Vita shut its doors, George Bakatsias opened Local 22 in the same spot. This time Bakatsias is looking to tap into the Southern cuisine done gastro pub style trend (hushpuppies of the day, pimento cheese, BBQ "pops," sriracha dipping sauce). The bar is offering up a pretty diverse selection of NC brews on tap (Starpoint, Fullsteam, Mother Earth, Highland), fancy cocktails and Durham-made sodas from Brood.
Open just over a month now, Local 22 was bustling on a Saturday night. Though we nabbed a spot at the bar, if you have a bigger group it might be a good idea to make a reservation.
Despite a really similar decor and the same lay-out/bar as Vita, Local 22 manages to feel warmer and cozier than Vita ever did. They've added some wood details, new lights, chalkboards, etc. and it works. The Local 22 menu is made up of small plates, sandwiches, flatbreads and a few larger entrees. The menu does throw around the words "farm" and "local", but doesn't really give many specifics.
I've heard mixed reviews of Local 22, but everything we had was excellent. Just looking for a light dinner, we ordered the meat/cheese board, wings and a large salad. The cheese/meat board is a deal. You select one/$7, three/$15 or five/$21 selections from Local 22′s board list. We chose Johnston County Prosciutto, local sausages and the local cheeses. The board comes with grilled and toasted bread, house pickles, seasonal relishes and a deviled egg. The bartender was vague about the type of cheeses on our board – he thought one was a farm cheese from Goat Lady, the other two – a hard cheddar and a brie he couldn't identify. The excellent deviled egg was a mustardy take on the classic Southern picnic staple.
We also tried the grilled wings with jalapeno dipping sauce. Despite being on the puny side, they packed a lot of flavor (thanks to a cumin/lime/garlic rub) and a nice slow-build heat.
We also ordered the blue cheese salad (iceberg, bacon, chives, chervil). A giant bowl of goodness, this is an update of the steakhouse standard wedge salad. The chopped iceberg was lightly dressed and tossed with small hunks of thick-cut bacon and blue cheese, which were balanced nicely with the parsley-like chervil and chives (apologies for the horrid picture).
Local 22 is open every day from 11 am to 2 am (kitchen until midnight), making it a great spot for late night eats.

But it has been revealed that increasing numbers of the animals have left the country's untamed landscape behind in favour of living in one of Europe's most notorious council estates.
Such is the scale of the mass migration that Stewart Stevenson, Scotland's Environment Minister, yesterday chose Easterhouse in Glasgow to unveil a new code of practice for managing deer.
The impoverished estate became famous when Iain Duncan Smith, the Work and Pensions Secretary, said he experienced an "epiphany" there which made him realise the chronic scale of deprivation in parts of modern Britain.
But Mr Stevenson said roe deer are becoming an increasingly common sight among the tower blocks and schemes, as well as other built-up parts of the country. However, they bring to their unusual choice of home an array of problems.
These include them causing car accidents for commuters and parents on the school run, as well as damage to suburban homes and gardens. The code recommends a range of potential solutions, including shooting them at night.
Unveiling the document, the minister said: "Deer management is traditionally seen as something which affects Highland Scotland. But this is changing and roe deer are now an increasingly common sight in urban areas, which is why this is now an issue in Easterhouse and other towns and cities.
"This brings challenges in managing the deer population, both to protect the deer and to prevent road accidents and damage to property or gardens."
Mr Stevenson met officials from Scottish National Heritage (SNH), an environmental quango, Strathclyde Police's wildlife crime unit and Glasgow City Council, who together are tasked with dealing with the influx in Easterhouse.
Although it has not been possible to count how many deer now live in urban areas of the country, SNH estimates that thousands have moved away from their traditional homes.
Thermal imaging cameras in the East of Glasgow have caught pictures of between 200 and 300 deer. SNH officials estimated there around 10 per square mile in the area.
Jamie Hammond, deer management officer for SNH, said the animals are now "commonly" seen in the Glasgow area.
The Scottish Gamekeepers Association praised the code but said councils are reluctant to spend money employing professional deer managers.
Alex Hogg, the organisation's chairman, said: "It's really important that communities know what's on their doorsteps. There never was a problem years ago because the guys in Easterhouse used to eat them."
He said a range of measures could be used to control the animals and they could be safely shot at night in urban areas if lower velocity weapons were used.

I do have several cameras, but I wanted to get a little digital camera...nothing expensive, just something to use for posting pics on eBay that uses a memory stick for easier uploading. I came across a Jazz JDC64 Multi Mode Digital Camera which also gives you the ability to taking some video. As I mentioned, it is just a cheap little camera on sale for $50.00. So, I thought that was all I needed for eBay purposes. And I thought it may be nice for a young child's first digital camera, if I was happy with it.
When I got it home, I started to read the instructions (Because I've never used one with memory sticks or video before). I started on Page one of the instructions, you know the usual parts Identification, installing batteries and all that boring stuff. I got to the battery installation and was floored by the way these instructions were written. Yes, they were written in English but if I just told you HOW it was written, you wouldn't believe me! So I had to scan a page of the instruction book so you can see for yourself!
You will notice the lack of and the misuse of periods and commas. Misuse of words and even missing words! Are there any proofreaders in these companies anymore? That's as far as I went with it. Once I read the page that I've posted here, there was no way I was going any further. I packaged up the camera and returned it to the store.
When I returned the camera, I told the woman that I DID open it. She asked what was wrong with it and I told her. I told her the instructions are in English but written so poorly, you can't even understand them. She laughed and said, "Maybe it was made in China". I told her it looks like they were written in Chinese. She refunded my money with no problem and said she had two other people return the same camera because the pictures were all blurred. Yes, they say you get what you pay for...but for fifty bucks, I didn't even get fifty cents worth!

text: GREENFIELD, NOVA SCOTIA — FOR THE BIRDS. When Herman Zwanepol whistles and clucks, Hans comes flying. And when he asks the blackbird for a kiss, Hans reaches up and tweaks his nose with his beak. Hans is one of about 400 birds at Zwanepol's home, a bird sanctuary and growing tourist attraction near Halifax. About 5,000 people are expected to visit the place this year. He is nursing about 150 of the birds back to health. A former army medic, Zwanepol said there is very little difference between doctoring people and doctoring birds. ''Blood is blood and flesh is flesh,'' he said.

Very few movies have ever been made, successfully or otherwise, about life inside an Orthodox religious society. Even fewer have been made by a filmmaker who is herself a member of that world, as is the case with Rama Burshtein, the director of the extraordinary Israeli film "Fill the Void."
Burshtein belongs to the ultra-Orthodox Haredi community. Her prior experience was making short films only for the women in her sexually segregated circle. I did not know Burshtein's background when I saw "Fill the Void," but, in retrospect, it makes perfect sense.
The film is made from deep inside, without a trace of otherness or voyeurism. For those of us for whom this life might seem alien, Burshtein quickly sets us straight. We become as absorbed in the intricacies of this world as we would be in a domestic drama derived from Jane Austen.
Austen was, in fact, a great influence on Burshtein, as she has stated in interviews. The film centers on the 18-year-old Shira (Hadas Yaron), who is looking forward to a prospective match with a young man from Tel Aviv she has only glimpsed, to her delight, in a supermarket aisle. By contrast, her mother, Rivka, played with industrial-strength resoluteness by Irit Sheleg, looks at the young man and knowingly remarks to her daughter, "You're going to do a lot of laundry."
When Shira's beloved older sister Esther (Renana Raz) dies giving birth to her son, tradition demands that Esther's husband, Yochay (Yiftach Klein), soon remarry. But when it turns out he would likely relocate to Belgium for his bride-to-be, thus separating Rivka from her first grandchild, his mother-in-law engineers an alternative scenario: Shira should marry Yochay.
The marriages in this community are not so much arranged as strenuously encouraged. Shira ultimately has veto power but heavy-duty pressures are brought to bear. Neither Shira nor Yochay is initially keen on the idea; their tentative meetings are both highly formalized and startlingly, hurtfully direct.
Burshtein makes it very clear that, despite the sexually segregated hierarchy in this world – despite the patriarchy at its core – the women are an indomitable bunch. At least the women in Shira's immediate circle are, from her mother on down. Rivka's husband may be the rabbi who doles out charity on Purim (a Jewish holiday) to the men in need of it, but it is Rivka who knows where the money is kept and how much to dispense.
Burshtein keeps the focus on Shira throughout – a good thing, since Yaron's performance grows in intensity. (She won the best actress award at the Venice film festival.) When we first glimpse her, she is maidenly and unformed, but the loss of her sister, and the welter of complications that ensues, matures her real fast. Shira is changed by the end, and even though we may miss the wide-eyed girl, we feel privileged to have charted her deepening responses. Her predicament is bound up not only in Hasidic tradition but also with the push-pull of loyalty and desire that would confront any young woman in her situation. A similar emotional trajectory, if less intimately observed, is also apparent in the film's depiction of Yochay.
Burshtein draws us into this world without simplifying it for us. She doesn't "comment" on what she shows us, or offer a critical slant. There is, I suppose, documentary value in all this, but the film plays out too intensely, and has too many good performances, to be mistaken for mere ethnography.
One might think that, with lives this circumscribed by ritual, the people in "Fill the Void" would seem straitened and two-dimensional. Quite the opposite. As Burshtein said in an interview in The New York Times, "I believe in the rules, but I will find the passion within." The ritualistic confines, if anything, heighten the inherent drama, as was also true, in a very different way of course, with Jane Austen.
Burshtein doesn't promote a we-are-all-the-same-under-the-skin agenda here. Even though she is of this community, she acknowledges its observances might seem disorienting to outsiders. But implicit in this film is a simple truth: The sheer force of artistry has the power to convert outsiders into insiders. I left "Fill the Void" feeling privileged, however briefly, to have been brought into this world. Grade: A- (Rated PG for mild thematic elements and brief smoking.)

Patti Stanger criticizes women, Jews and gays
Patti Stanger says she questions the values of smart single women, Jews and gays.
Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger says that smart women, Jews and gays are nearly impossible to match.
On the Bravo call-in show Watch What Happens Live, Stanger told openly gay host Andy Cohen that she can't match gay men because they won't stop sleeping around.
"In the gay world, it will always be open," she wrote. "There is no curbing the gay man."
"I am a gay and am down for the monogamy," Cohen said.
"When was the last time you had a boyfriend?" Stanger shot back.
Stanger also says smart women should dumb themselves down if they want to catch a husband. On New York Live, she suggested women stop using big words and stop bragging about those high SAT scores, because men are dumb.
"They don't like them before they are married," she said referring to the relationship between men and smart women. "You've got to dumb it down a little because men are not that bright."
"Women are smart in business and dumb in love," she said.
"They won't date outside their zip code, let alone outside the city. They are city snobs," she said. "Real men that are making money in this economy are buying homes in short sales and foreclosures out in the suburbs, getting their homestead set up for their families, and [women say] 'I won't go to Connecticut.' This is where the men are."
An equal opportunity offender, Stanger added, ""Jewish men lie."
Stanger, who is Jewish herself, did not elaborate on what exactly they lie about.
JewishJournal.com writer Ilana Angel says that people who are offended should write about their displeasure on Twitter in an attempt to have Millionaire Matchmaker canceled.
"This afternoon, during a sixty minute span, I saw 73 tweets stating they want her fired, and for other Bravo fans to stop watching in an attempt to send the message to Bravo that the show should be cancelled. They even went so far as to ask for a boycott of Andy Cohen's show, Watch What Happens Live, which premieres tonight after Patti," she wrote.
"The time will come when she won't be able to give her services away, and that will be the day her show is cancelled. Twitter might help that day come quicker. There is nothing appealing or charming about this woman. She is an embarrassment to women, and has all the horrible stereotypes that Jewish women are labeled with."

The leaves are changing, the nights are getting colder and the days are getting shorter, which means…..school's back in session. With school starting back up many parents and kids alike are adjusting to their new schedule; which can lead to sleepy and rushed morning and evenings. My daughter is back in pre-school this year and has started soccer, AWANA and soon to be dance class. We love getting our daughter involved in extracurricular activities but we don't want it to compromise her health or eating habits. Being a parent and juggling everything can be a huge struggle so that's why I put together a post on healthy snacks/lunch options for a busy family.
Some of my personal favorites:
- Cut up veggies dipped in Greek yogurt mixed with a ranch dry packet (not the entire packet, just to taste).
- Cut up apples with peanut butter
- Hard boiled eggs
- Low Fat Vanilla Yogurt mixed with a dry packet of flavored oatmeal and fruit (layer for looks)
- Cottage cheese with cut up tomatoes
- Veggies dipped in cottage cheese
- Rice cakes with peanut butter and cut up bananas
- Frozen Grapes
- Chips and homemade salsa
- Hummus dipped in Pita
- Fruit Salad
- Veggies dipped in laughing cow cheese
- Ants on a log (peanut butter and raisins on celery)
I am fortunate that my daughter will eat anything but some parents aren't so lucky. I have been told that presentation is a key for picky eaters. If you can make the snack/meal healthy yet fun most kids will eat it. Let the kids get involved in making their snack, jazz it up to look like a smiley face, bug or object if possible. Another great option is picking a fancy plate or bowl for them that's special or try something creative live a cupcake tin. Letting the kids eat on a blanket or towel on the floor or porch and play picnic always works for me too.
Below are a few great links I found that offer healthy snack/lunch ideas as well as tips on offering variety to your child's pallet. If you have a toddler there is a chart that offers the proper caloric intake for your child and their exercise level.
Remember, stay healthy and have fun!

Tips for turning your internship into a job
If you are interested in turning your internship into a full time job after graduation, there are some specific techniques you can use to increase your chances of getting hired. Many employers who offer internships do so as a way to try out and recruit new full time employees. Internships are not only a way for students to gain experience and learn more about a specific career field but internships are also a for organizations to try out individuals and decide how well they fit in the organization and if they would like to hire the person as a full time employee once the internship is completed.
- Turning an internship into a job ... here are some specific techniques you need to employ to bridge the internship to job chasm.
What is a Good Introduction
"Remember: 20 ... 30 seconds"
The blueprint for success: Normal speech is 100-150 words a minute. You must go slower to be understood. You may have 50 words tops to work with. Try this: build a metaphor that has not a single word specific to your industry or profession. Your explanation connects the metaphor to your specific career goal. You must have a compelling and interesting question that, combined with your metaphor, makes you intriguing and worthy of your contact's time.
- Networking in public relations ... fill out this tip sheet before your first networking event and job interview. Be prepared.
The Job Search. When I was writing this article, I immediately focused on the first step in your job search. Then, it occurred to me that before you begin your search, it would be logical to know where you want to go! Where do you want your job search to take you? Unless you have worked prior to school, you may not know exactly what you want-to do when you grow up. "That's normal because college is supposed to open up your mind to many possibilities. Also, the communications profession is very broad and contains many professions, such as Advertising, Analyst Relations, Brand Management, Employee Communications, Events Management, Direct Marketing, Public Relations and Marketing Communications. And, these professions can be within a company, within a nonprofit organization or you can become a freelance or independent consultant.
Now, begin your job search using these successful tips on winning the job you have targeted.

Exhibitors' Frequently Asked Question
Here are some common questions and answers to help you plan your exhibit space.
Have a question that is not answered here? Email us at email@example.com.
Where are the exhibitors going to be set up?
Venue: Overture Center for the Arts Rotunda Stage (lower level foyer/hall way). We put our exhibitors in the prime spot during our conference. The exhibition space is located between the Playhouse Theater (presentation) and the Rotunda Studio (refreshments). That means there is non stop traffic during breaks and great attendee interaction.
What comes with the exhibition space?
6 foot banquet table. It is a plain table. It will have a black table cloth, so feel free to have another color if it works better with your brand. 2 chairs
Is electricity available at the exhibit table?
Unfortunately, not all table will have easy access to electricity. If you require electricity, we can reserve a table next an electrical outlet.
Who provides marketing materials for the exhibitors?
You will need to provide your own banner and system for displaying. The banner size listed in the prospectus is just a guide. The vertical standing banners may work best in the space.
What times exhibitor space is open?
Exhibit hours: Friday 8am-5pm and Saturday 930am-5pm.
Does the exhibit space have lock securely for the night?
Since the space is open to the public, we will need to store your exhibit stuff in the Rotunda Studio over night. You can either pack everything up, or we can move the table into the Studio Friday evening. Then move it back out to the Rotunda Stage area Saturday morning.
How many attendees are anticipated at the conference?
We are anticipating 300 participants at this year's Madison+ Ruby.
What are load-in and load-out times?
If you are bringing items that require extra time for loading/unloading, you are welcome to arrive at 7 am on the first day of the conference and unload. There is going to be a conference representative on site already, but please, let us know ahead of time.
Who provides audiovisual equipment for the exhibitors?
Unfortunately, at this time we are not able to provide you with any audiovisuals during the conference. It is up to the exhibitor to bring any AV required.
How many conference passes come with my exhibitor space?
As a level 1 sponsor you get 2 free conference tickets and 1 conference ticket as a level 2 sponsor. You will receive exhibitor passes for how many people are expected to work your exhibitor space.

This book is designed for a one-semester or two-semester course in international economics, primarily targeting non-economics majors and programs in business, international relations, public policy and development studies. It has been written to make international economics accessible to wide student and professional audiences. The book assumes a minimal background in microeconomics and mathematics and goes beyond the usual trade-finance dichotomy to give equal treatment to four 'windows' on the world economy: international trade, international production, international finance and international development. It takes a practitioner point of view rather than a standard academic view, introducing the student to the material they need to become effective analysts in international economic policy.

The Bad Goodbye
Zach told his parents that he was completely broke and alleged that Anna "wasted" all his money on groceries, clothes and toys for ButterFly. Everything was an expense. He made it sound like his wife and child were two huge expenses. What his parents proposed was that they move in with his parents and that Anna and Zach were to work Sunday to Sunday, ButterFly was to be brought up by his parents and his parents would determine their financial needs and would even determine in time if and when they were to extend their family further as – according to Zach's parents – Zach and Anna were doing a poor job of handling their own finances and bringing up their child. In their eyes, Anna and Zach were two kids who had brought a baby into the world without any proper planning or experience.
This whole story insulted Anna on every level. She was 25, not 15. The Almighty had already taken her first baby from her. Anna was not going to allow Zach's parents to remove her baby and run her life. She had a promising career ahead of her with an opportunity to study further. She was not going to throw her life, her future and her daughter away because of these judgemental people, in return for a Sunday to Sunday dead end job behind a shop counter.
When Anna and Zach returned home, things constantly got worse. Anna point black refused to listen to anything Zach had to say about her resigning. She had dealt with enough interference from both sets of parents and this was just the pits. Now Zach's parents were demanding her to leave her job. Anna was not going to be someone's maid for all of eternity. Anna was worth so much more.
Family meetings took place to try and resolve all the issues. Zach constantly humiliated Anna. He even brought out their lack of intimacy and proclaimed that he neither loved nor trusted Anna, and hadn't in a very long time. Anna just beared it all with a smile for the sake of her child, and regardless of these humiliations, she agreed to try.
To Zach, trying was Anna becoming 100% submissive to him. Worshipping him, not questioning anything he said. Anna was not going to change her entire personality in order to make Zach happy. He had walked over her time and time again. Anna realised that all Zach wanted was his UK visa extended when he was living in London. That was the sad truth. It hurt a lot but atleast it was the truth.
Zach was persistant in not paying any bills, including the rent to Haddie and Derek. So Haddie decided that Zach was to leave. He walked out, without even saying so much as a goodbye to his child. And that's when the war started…

By: Jörg Heiser
Following an invitation by Paris-based
Galerie Patrick Seguin
, Zurich gallery owner Eva Presenhuberhas put together an exhibition titled We Are Sun-kissed and Snow-blind, which features works some more recent, some dating from the last few years of 22 artists of the gallery (Doug Aitken, Martin Boyce, Angela Bulloch, Valentin Carron, Verne Dawson, Trisha Donnelly, Maria Eichhorn, Urs Fischer, Peter Fischli / David Weiss, Sylvie Fleury, Liam Gillick, Douglas Gordon, Mark Handforth, Karen Kilimnik, Andrew Lord, Hugo Markl, Gerwald Rockenschaub, Tim Rollins and K.O.S., Ugo Rondinone, Jean-Frédéric Schnyder, Josh Smith and Franz West).All works are, simply put, white.
A show as white as can be such information is, to begin with, liable to two possible misunderstandings, which need to be first dealt with.
Misunderstanding no. 1: White as a color symbolizing not only virginity, immaculacy, innocence, and modesty, but also grief, death, joy, and life (depending on the cultural area); white as a clothing color worn by universalist gurus, including those of art (Karl-Heinz Stockhausen) and philosophy (Alain Badiou); white epitomizing the ideal, the good, the beginning, the new, the north, the truth, the neutrality of a central authority, intelligence, science, precision; white representing the pope, emptiness, the Ku Klux Klan; a night without sleep; undiscovered territory; surrender.
Misunderstanding no. 2: White as a color of fashion; white expressing summer; white associated with Mediterranean life and glamour; white yachts and convertibles; white lines; the place where all other glittery colors sunbathe; minimalist interfaces (Apple); Michelle Obama (Narciso Rodriguez) and Carla Bruni (Dior), June 2009; New York fashion week, September 2007, color of the season: white; New York fashion week, February 2008, color of the season: white; Marilyn Monroe always dressed in white etc., etc., etc.
So, why should one see the things mentioned above as misunderstandings, even though most of them may undeniably play a role in the perception of this show? Because, in short, all of these things are regulations of social life that seek to represent themselves as imperative, necessary, and convincing in relation to the actual physically imperative, necessary, and convincing properties of the phenomenon of light. They disguise themselves in white, using the power of white, bright light. As long as this happens in a playful manner, there is nothing to object to (the pope at the New York fashion week; convertibles symbolizing virginity). The attempt, however, to transform an immaterial, physical condition into a material, social code is erroneous. An act of imperative formalization, or mythologization.
The same argument applies to the realm of art. One example is the issue of the Elgin Marbles, sculptural parts of the Acropolis, which are to be found at the British Museum (they were brought from Greece to England in 1801; discussions are still going on as to whether they should remain there or be returned). This year, what has already been suspected has been proven for the first time: Some of the sculptures that are thought to be aglow with purely white marble in fact contain the Egyptian blue pigment. It has been known for quite some time that ancient sculptures of deities used to be, in part, colorfully painted. The idea of all-white ancient Greece is a figment of the modern age: The mask of eternity was meant to cover the supposed kitsch of colorfulness.
Egyptian blue This leads us to Yves Klein. The dynamics of whiteness characteristic of his famous The Void exhibition at Iris Clerts in 1958 featuring a small, white gallery devoid of any exhibits, white nothingness being the actual exhibit were meaningfully presented from the outside through a window, a curtain, and with cocktails. 3,000 people queued up. Deliberately using pomp, Klein hyperbolized the codification of white, transferring it from a metaphysical to a pataphysical level. The opposite strategy to adduce, incidentally, two examples of art history has been pursued by Cy Twombly and Robert Rhyman. Twomblys white sculptures, assemblages of everyday finds painted white, are usually said to have a pure, meditative power; yet, as Roland Barthes has particularly demonstrated in Twomblys paintings, the pieces rather express casual gestures that, functioning as some sort of clouds, add a certain mood to the action. Thus, momentary, unpretentious gestures are to be situated between the immaterial, physical condition of the color white and the material, social code of its institutionalized perpetuity; similar observations can be made in Robert Rymans paintings.
Brian ODoherty has said everything that needs to be said about the White Cube; it, too, follows the lines of social regulation. In Martin Boyces We Are Sun-kissed and Snow-blind (2005), a white-coated steel tube frame with a textile overhang recalls the lapidary act of hanging out the laundry. To pick out one more example: In a work by Tim Rollins and K.O.S. titled Invisible Man (after Ralph Ellison) (1999), pages of Ralph Ellisons famous 1952 novel on the Afro-American experience of racism in which the protagonist feels that he becomes invisible in the face of racial prejudice are attached to the canvas, with the letters I and M being outlined in white. Here, it is literature that brings the question of interrupting the ideological mask of eternity to the canvas.
Be it the lapidary momentariness of gestures, their humorous caricature, or a direct political signification: White as a mere symbol, a mere fashion disappears from the exhibits, which thereby although they seem to disappear into the whiteness of the exhibition space become apparent.

Generally speaking, days, where there exists a format that I don't understand, qualify as Bad Days. Today, for example, was a Bad Day: I wasn't prepared for its timing, its schedule and its demonic servants placed on this earth to haunt me. I was eating cheese sandwiches at half past two in the afternoon. A feat not for the fainthearted.
A wise girl, a greater cynic than I, put some things into perspective for me: love isn't as important as I once thought. Not at sixteen. I criticised him for not knowing what love is, but I'm no more sure. How do I know that this is love? How much experience do I have of love? Little? None?

This first time birthing mother has the father of the baby catch his little girl with the assistance of a midwife.
Please be aware that the following pictures are graphic.
This couple are fit and active people and came to me for birthing with hypnosis preparation. She ended up had a fast labour and was fully supported by the birth team at the Mercy hospital to be empowered to do it.
The labouring mother worked very well with the powerful force of her fast contractions, and with the position she chose to birth her baby, the father to be was able to assist in the delivery.
The midwife guided his hands, the mother did all the hard work, and soon the father got to catch his baby girl. It was an amazing moment and they give me permission to share these photos with you.
