The Cantonese name ''yàuhjagwái'' literally means "oil-fried ghost" and, according to folklore, is an act of protest against official , who is said to have orchestrated the plot to frame the general Yue Fei, an icon of patriotism in . It is said that the food, originally taking the form of two deep-fried human-shaped dough but later evolved two doughs joining in the middle, represents Qin Hui and his wife, both having a hand in collaborating with the enemy to bring about the great general's demise. Thus the youtiao is deep fried and eaten as if done to the traitorous couple. In keeping with the legend, youtiao are often made as two foot-long rolls of dough joined along the middle, with one roll representing the husband and the other the wife.
Although generally known as ''yóutiáo'' throughout China, it is also known as ''guǒzi'' in . In -speaking areas it is known as ''yàuhjagwái'' which literally means "oil-fried devil".
The word ''yàuhjagwái'' is said by some to be a corruption of ''yàuhja Kúi'' . There are said to be several possible explanations involving this etymology:
* 檜 and 鬼 were pronounced similarly in the Chinese of the time, and the corruption occurred when the dish is spread to southern provinces, where the pronunciation differs.
* Qin Hui's actions caused a deep-rooted hatred that persisted despite his death. The dish's name changed ''yàuhjagwái'', with the word "ghost" referring to spirits of Qin and his wife.
* the population were afraid to openly declare their contempt towards the corrupt official when he was still in power; nevertheless, the food's name became a tool in expressing contempt.
* the Mandarin name ''yóuzhá Huì'' was subsequently shortened to ''yóuhuì'' and evolved into ''yóutiáo'', because of the shape.
However, a more likely explanation is that the name is a corruption of the Minnan name 油炸粿 , where 粿 means cake or pastry, hence "oil-fried cake/pastry".
The youtiao is also a popular breakfast food in Burma where it is called ''e kya kway''.
In Laos, the youtiao is generally called ''pah thawng ko'' and is commonly eaten with coffee at breakfast in place of a baguette . It is also eaten as an accompaniment to chicken noodle soup.
Malaysia and Singapore
In Singapore and Malaysia, it is known in English as you char kway, you char kuay, or u char kway, transliterations of its local name . It is rendered in as ''cakoi''.
In the Philippines, the youtiao is called ''bitsu'' although this name can also refer to sweetened, fried dough balls similar to the ''bunuelo'', also called ''cascaron''.
In Taiwan, the food is known by the Minnan name 油炸粿 or by the Mandarin ''yóutiáo''.
In Thailand, youtiao is generally called ''patongkoh'' due to a confusion with a different kind of dessert. ''Patongkoh'' is a Thai corruption of either Minnan ''beh teung guai'' or of ''baahktònggòu'' . However, both possible original names are different desserts, not to be confused with the real . It was previously sold together with youtiao by who normally walked around and shouted both names out loud. However, Thai customers often mistakenly thought that the more popular youtiao was ''"patongkoh"''. Eventually, the real ''patongkoh'' disappeared from the market because of its unpopularity. Ironically, the disappearance of real ''"patongkoh"'' leaves youtiao being called under the former's name, but the latter's real name is generally unknown amongst the Thais. But the original white sugar sponge cake can still be easily found in Trang Province in Southern Thailand under its original name.
In Vietnamese cuisine, it is known through a corruption of the pronunciation of the Cantonese name, as ''d?u cháo qu?'' or ''giò cháo qu?y''.
Other countries
In Australia it is sometimes called chopstick cake by some Cambodian Chinese immigrants because of its resemblance to a pair of chopsticks.
Culinary applications and variants
At breakfast, ''youtiao'' can be stuffed inside ''shāobǐng'' to make a sandwich known as shāobǐng yóutiáo . Youtiao wrapped in a rice noodle roll is known as ''zháliǎng''. Youtiao is also an important ingredient of the food ''Cífàn tuán'' in Shanghai cuisine.
''Tánggāo'' , or "sugar cake", is a sweet, fried food item similar in appearance to youtiao but shorter in length.

you're so wrong. I really liked yur blog because you're really funny and clever but now you've seriously offended me. I've gone to the best everyday over the summer my entire life, it's a really awesome place and holds a thousand happy memories for not just me, but everyone who goes there. I always though you were really great, but now you just seem like an ignorant little pussy whose tiny brain can't comprehend the vastness of the ocean. it is the source of such inspiration for artists like who you claim to be, and the vastness of it's depth makes it THE wonder of the world. I'm sorry it is far from "large wading pool for little kids to pee in" pools are the gross things, all those chemicals are harsh and unnatural, the ocean has been here long before you and will be here long after you. and yes, you can be " hit in the yapper with a -10 degree wave every thirty seconds" but thts because the ocean is vast and powerful and much stronger than a weak little thing like you. I wouldn't make jokes and disrespect something that can kill you in half a second. you think you're being funny and offbeat with your hilarious outlooks on the greatest body of water ever, but really? you're a whiny immature little kid who thinks it's funny to complain. I'm absolutely not going to 'make you famous' you smartass little cretian who knows nothing about life. say hello to your first hater bitch
Dear Hater Bitch,
That is what you would like to called, is it not? You stated "Say hello to your first hater bitch," so I can only assume that this is what you would like to be called. First of all, I would like to thank you for the delightful compliments. They truly warmed my heart. However, I became somewhat confused at the point where you told me, "It's a really awesome place and holds a thousand happy memories for not just me, but everyone who goes there." For me, personally, I've been to the beach quite a bit over the span of my life, and I can most likely count the amount of happy memories I've had on one hand. One time, I found a bra stuck in a vending machine and laughed over it for a minute or two. This memory did, in fact, occur at the beach. Another time, I found a dollar near the beach; I bought a chapstick with it. I believe that this would also count as a "happy beach memory." Other than that, I am unable to recall other said "happy memories" occurring at the beach.
Also, your statement, "It is the source of such inspiration for artists like who you claim to be, and the vastness of its depth makes it THE wonder of the world," confuses me quite a lot. Firstly, I cannot seem to recall claiming that I was an artist anywhere in this blog of delicious porkage, but one time I had to make a wire sculpture for an art class which sent me into a state of rage that I'd never experienced before in my life. After many attempts at forming the basic shape of a dog, and then a rabbit, and then a worm, I decided to make said wire sculpture resemble an iPod. In other words, it was a square. Made of wire. If that would constitute as "art," then yes, I am indeed an artist. Second, I would like to point out that there are seven wonders of the world, including The Great Wall of China, Petra, Christ the Redeemer, Machu Picchu, Chichen Itzu, the Colosseum, and the Taj Mahal. If you were perhaps looking for the seven natural wonders of the world, these would include the Grand Canyon, the Great Barrier Reef, the Harbor of Rio de Janeiro, Mount Everest, Auroras, the Parícutin volcano, and Victoria Falls. Not the ocean.
I would like to thank you for your concern about my well-being, as you warned me that pools are full of harsh and unnatural chemicals, but if the ocean is in fact strong enough to "kill me in half a second," (which as my friend has stated, is untrue, as drowning technically takes ten minutes) I think I will take my chances with all of the chemicals. Thank you for the concern, though. Also, thank you very much for the kind comment, and I hope my response clears up any possible confusion or hard feelings. Please do not hesitate to comment if you decide to check in and read this. I would love to hear back from you, dear Hater Bitch.
P.S.- Apparently this is what people are interested in when they find my blog on Google...

Much Ado About Shakespeare
I have always loved Shakespeare. Who doesn't? His words are witty, his characters familiarly flawed, his story lines delightfully convoluted.
And so, when our homeschooling book list included selections of the famous poet's tales for children, I was delighted. That is, until my poor firstborn son showed signs of difficulty in keeping up with the characters. And the places. And all the twists and turns in the story lines.Read More

ASRock motherboard not recognizing all four RAM slots
I recently bought 2 packs of 16GB G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series RAM from a person online. According to the seller, the RAM was going to be used in a build but the build was put off and the RAM was never used. Here is the link to the item details.
When I received the RAM and installed it (before you ask I made sure the RAM was seated correctly), my ASRock Z68 Pro3 Gen3 motherboard only recognized 16GB dual channel and not the whole 32GB. The RAM has run at 1600 MHz and is now running stable at 2133 MHz. The mobo supports up to 32GB.
I don't believe the RAM is bad, so excluding faulty memory, how would I get the mobo to recognize all four slots?
ETA: I believe the issues may lie in the configuration of the RAM. It may not be recognizing all the RAM because of dual channel. I'm not sure but if I could get someone's clarification on the matter I would really appreciate it.

The 'art of face' has always captured my imagination as it has captured the imagination of sculptors, painters and photographers.
Sculpting the human form in clay early in my life made me very attentive to detail. Completing medical school and considering all specialty areas where I might make a contribution to medicine and most help my clients, the 'art of face' maintained its fascination. My medical specialty is clinical rejuvenation and uncovering natural beauty that exists in every face.
Facial beauty is a combination of complex subdermal structures, texture, tone, colour and shape. __________________________________________
All of us are born beautiful but through environmental elements, stress, pressure to look younger, poor nutrition, lack of sleep or, in some instances, unexpected deformity or premature aging, our faces become weary, tired, or misshapen.
At All Saints we work to restore and enhance the natural beauty of every face. Many of the techniques and procedures we prescribe are pioneered and perfected by our team. This 'Art of face' philosophy is woven into the fabric of the All Saints approach to natural beauty and individuality.

This book is 100% complete
Completed on 2016-06-28
About the Book
Learn to write Ember.js applications from the ground up.
If you are just getting started with Ember.js, this book is perfect for you. We'll work on a real world application (not a to-do list) that will allow you to learn Ember.js and its main features while using ember-cli. Introducing Ember-Data from the first example, you'll learn how to work with data coming from an API as well as how to consume raw JSON using $.ajax.
Don't fall into common traps. We'll tell you what to keep an eye on when using certain features. There are a lot of changes going on in Ember, Ember-Data, and ember-cli. This book will continue to develop along with those changes.
Ember 2.0
The book will be frequently updated to accomodate to the changes coming on Ember 2.0. You will be able to learn Ember as it is currently and you'll also get tips about things to keep in mind and how you can start to write code which can be easily migrated once 2.0 becomes the official release. Don't worry about keeping track of every change, we'll make sure you get all the details.If you want a book that keeps tracks of the Ember.js ecosystem, then ember-cli-101 is the right choice. Get 24/7 support
We know how difficult it is to follow a text that contains poor examples, or worse, a text that leaves you with unanswered questions and nobody on hand to offer guidance. We provide 24/7 support to all interested readers through our IRC channel #ember-cli-101.Testimonials
I purchased your book today and all I have to say is it is awesome. It really connected the dots for me
Jamie Phillips
Adolfo's step by step guidance in developing a ember web app through this book unleashed my own creativity for developing ember apps.
Good resources about Ember are rare and Adolfo's book was an invaluable help for me when learning. Ember-CLI makes Ember fun and Adolfo's book makes it easy.
Bought the book the other day and it is EXCELLENT...a very comprehensive how-to for Ember
EvanThe Workshop The workshop includes personalized guidance where we'll go through the book with weekly sessions of questions and answers plus a special guest.

He did say he'd be back, after all. Don't claim you weren't warned.
Nearly a decade after his last major role in "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines," Arnold Schwarzenegger is about to launch a comeback that promises to return him to the top of the heap among muscled Hollywood leading men — or at least pay him enough to cover that inevitable divorce.
Arnie is leaving the California governor's mansion behind and returning to the one other industry that rivals politics in egos and suspiciously great hair: acting.
Prepare to meet Arnold Version 65, as in his age, a lovably broken-down hero with a medically repaired heart who comes out of retirement for one more score.
But can Schwarzenegger, who's old enough to be eligible for a discount to see his movies at the theater, reclaim his perch as the alpha action hero? And do audiences still even care?
His first test comes Friday with the release of "The Expendables 2," the sequel to the surprise 2010 B-movie hit teaming Sylvester Stallone with other gun-toting lugs, including Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham and Jet Li. The follow-up crowds even more names above the title, adding Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Liam Hemsworth, and featuring Bruce Willis and Arnie in expanded roles.
This go-round finds Stallone and his team of long-in-the-tooth mercenaries trying to race a villain named Vilain (yes, really, played by Van Damme) to a cache of weapons-grade HGH — er, make that plutonium.
Schwarzenegger's screen time is limited, but his few scenes find him breezily mowing down legions of faceless enemies with large firearms, making it clear he didn't come out of retirement to snag an Oscar. Big, dumb action movies are still his thing.
"I guess I could have started slow and eased into it," Schwarzenegger told USA Today. "But it felt amazing to be back jumping off buildings, seeing huge explosions, getting in car chases and throwing punches."
After "Expendables 2", he'll appear in "The Last Stand," playing an aged sheriff taking on a cartel leader in a role that was originally set to star another graying hero, Liam Neeson. Also in the pipeline is "Breacher," a "testosterone-heavy riff" on "Ten Little Indians" about DEA agents who pull a heist, as well as "The Tomb," a prison-break movie that again teams Arnie with Stallone.
The key to success will be for Ahnuld to acknowledge his age, thereby not forcing audiences to suspend disbelief more than they usually have to during one of his flicks.
"Stallone made similar comeback attempts with 'Rocky Balboa' and 'Rambo,' " says Eric Lichtenfeld, author of "Action Speaks Louder: Violence, Spectacle, and the American Action Movie."
" 'Rocky' succeeded, but 'Rambo' did not. 'Rocky' asked that question, can someone at that age do it? 'Rambo' did not. These projects are usually more successful when you can make their age part of the story. Then you're turning your liability into a strength. Otherwise, it's just the thing everyone is thinking about."
Sure enough, "The Expendables 2" includes a few moments when the cast winks at the audience. In one scene, Stallone examines a dilapidated airplane, saying, "That thing belongs in a museum."
"We all do," Arnie retorts.
A source on the set of "The Last Stand" tells The Post that Schwarzenegger, in person, looks reasonably good for his age.
"He looks like a well-worn leather jacket — strong but weathered," the source says.
After one rough stunt, the star reportedly muttered, "I feel old."
One longtime Hollywood publicist agrees that selling Arnold again to the public should be easy. The underdog story of a 65-year-old getting back into the game should prove compelling to moviegoers and journalists alike. Also, nostalgia is a powerful motivator. He's even considering making a sequel to 1988's "Twins," adding Eddie Murphy and calling it "Triplets."
The only potential land mine could be the former Governator's recent scandals."I think he needs to stay away from any in-depth articles about his personal life obviously," a publicist says. "He should probably stick to TV interviews and fluffy stuff talking about the return of an action hero."
Schwarzenegger has suffered through years of bad publicity, from allegations of sexual harassment to a 2011 separation from his wife of 25 years, Maria Shriver, to his admission of fathering a secret child with his housekeeper. Perhaps in a bid to get in front of any negative publicity, Arnie is set to tell his story himself in a massive 656-page autobiography called "Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story," due in October.
If he can reclaim his A-list status in Tinseltown, it won't be without precedent."Charles Bronson made 'Death Wish V: The Face of Death' at age 73, which makes Schwarzenegger seem comparatively sprightly," says Jack Lechner, a former Miramax executive, now an NYU adjunct professor. "Hell, Sylvester Stallone is a year older than Schwarzenegger, and audiences still don't want to see him as anything except an action star. Besides, that's why God created stunt doubles."
Clint Eastwood, too, had one of his bigger recent hits at age 78 with 2008's "Gran Torino," in which he played a war vet taking on an Asian gang.
"Schwarzenegger can't perform with the same kind of physicality that he did in the 1980s, but I think fans will forgive that," Lichtenfeld says. "And besides, that kind of filmmaking isn't really where the genre is anyway."
Unlike the '80s, action films nowadays are less about how chiseled the hero is (see the "Bourne" series) and tend to focus more on story, spectacle and special effects. See "The Avengers" and "Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol" for proof.
For anyone doubting Arnie's chances at a comeback, ask yourself: Did you ever honestly think he'd wind up as governor?

The Royal Automobile Club's annual promotion and demonstration of new, clean-energy cars – the Future Car Challenge – takes place this year on November 5. Not only does the event preview pioneering technology, with several cars entered that you can't yet buy, but also the latest showroom models from volume and small-scale manufacturers alike.
It is held in the pioneering spirit of the famous London to Brighton veteran Car Run but takes place the day before, on a reverse route from the south coast to the capital.
Its aim is to demonstrate the feasibility of alternative-fuelled vehicles, since the car-buying public at large remains sceptical of the high cost and limited range of battery-electric vehicles in particular.
On Saturday November 14, 1896, 33 pioneering motorists set off in a variety of 19th century horseless carriages – at the time, the cutting edge of transport technology. They also celebrated the new road act of that year which increased the speed limit from 4mph to 14mph and abandoned the need for a man on foot to precede each car while waving a red flag.
Now, 115 years later, the motor industry faces a new yet similar challenge – to find the next mass production energy power source. The RAC's Future Car Challenge provides a platform for today's pioneers to prove and promote their vehicles.
The entrants will depart from Madeira Drive, Brighton at 30-second intervals from 7.30am. There's a stop at Central Sussex College in Crawley, where the public can see the cars at close quarters between about 8.15 and 9.30. The first vehicles are expected at the finish in Waterloo Place, Pall Mall, London, between about 10.30 and midday.
The vehicles will then parade from St James's Square to Regent Street via Piccadilly Circus, where they will be on static display from 12.30 to 4pm.
Current or pending electric cars such as the Nissan Leaf, Mitsubishi i-Miev, Peugeot i-On, Vauxhall Ampera will be joined by future production cars such as battery-powered models from Mini, BMW and Smart.
Petrol/electric – and even diesel/electric, in the case of Peugeot – hybrids include the now-common Toyota Prius and its Auris sister. Low-CO2 internal combustion-engined (ICE) cars include entries from Fiat, BMW, Volkswagen, Mini, Skoda and Seat.
Electric prototypes to look out for include an electric Jaguar E-type, the sleek Delta E-4 Coupé, high-performance Lighting GT and Radical SRZero, plus Gordon Murray's intriguing T.27 urban car, alongside more well known Tesla Roadsters.

Now, you probably know that Brooks is a Republican, a PBS
regular, and an NPR regular. He wrote Bobos in Paradise, which argued that
we should see yuppie obsession with Pottery Barn phones as some kind of
cultural sign of good things to come.
Well, whatever. But keep your
eye on him because though most dems don't think about it, there's a strong
ideological split running through the Republican party, between more old
fashioned Republicans (fiscal conservatives, moderately conservative on
social issues, quasi-isolationist in foreign policy, but amenable to
compromise and partisan ball-playing--think Bob Dole) and the Neocons
(insanely interventionist in practically every way, deregulation mavens, and
win-at-all-costs opponents who would rather let their daughter go to Bryn
Mawr than compromise with a Democrat).
Brooks has pushed, I think, for
a return to an older and more temperate Republicanism. I still disagree with
him 90% of the time and think he's become a Bush-bootlick (what
upwardly-mobile Republican media bloviator isn't?) but now he has the
journalistic equivalent of the Supreme Court and he can pretty much start
saying what he wants. He may change the terms of the debate, perhaps
bringing things away from what we can call the "Kristol-Coulter
Then again, he might just be an ass.
To NYT
To the Editor:
In "Whatever It Takes" (Sept. 9 Op-Ed)
David Brooks argues that while the Bush Administration never acknowledges
mistakes or valid criticisms, their lack of candor is absolved by their
hidden reassessments of bad policy choices.
For many of us, however,
evasiveness and dishonesty can't be forgiven so easily. Team Bush lied about
the reasons for going to war and now that things are going badly, they are
scrambling for ways to fix the situation.
Brooks has pointed to, but
hasn't admitted, that this Administration allows political expediency to
trump morality while taking a very painful human toll.

Normally it's a muddy race that leaves my shoes looking like this.
Not this time. All the rain made this year's Broad Ripple Art Fair a muddy mess.
On the way down it was raining on 86th street. I chanted to the rain gods, No rain at 67th Street… No rain at 67th Street… Luckily the rain stopped just in time to enjoy the Preview Party!
I was ready to level up our title sponsorship area. I was dreaming of doing an Art Installation for the weekend.
Thanks to Primary Colours and the Indy Art Center for making it happen! I remembered one year, the BRAF had a chicken wire dome that you could weave strips of cloth through. I loved it. Clean, simple, for all ages! We decided on a flag shape for our area with matching flag colored cloth. Saturday morning, it looked like this.
Throughout the weekend, families would join in and add layers to our beautiful flag! By the end of the weekend, you could really see it come together.
The final product will be on display for Flag Day then become a permanent piece in the Installation Nation event.
You'd think that would be enough, but I had the icing on the cake to add this year! And it sat right across from our area so I could keep an eye on it!
The OneAmerica Lego® Tower!
We have a general raffle every year, so this year I decided to add a guessing game to it. How many Legos® make up the Tower? 3 lucky winners were really close!

In business and in life, momentum is a wonderful thing. Once you have it, there is inertia and a magnetic quality that seems to draw additional opportunities to you.
But it's more than a magical magnetism. Less mysterious than a cosmic tractor beam. And there are ways to feed momentum so that the ball keeps rolling. And good things keep happening to you.
- You have to believe that it will happen. And that you are deserving of it happening. Not that this belief will trigger the world to act on your behalf. But rather that you are able to project confidence. And expecting good things to happen in your job search effort. I know this sounds a bit like believing in secret scrolls, but if it positively affects your psychology, it is a good thing. And it will be painfully obvious to others if your self-confidence is lacking.
- You have to remove any impediments. Things that will physically or mentally slow you down. Or distract you. A good analogy here is going for a run with a dog. I always thought this was a great idea. Me and my dog Casey out for a run on a beautiful Saturday AM. Man and his best friend jogging joyfully in the park. Except it didn't work. Because my dog gets distracted by other dogs, by every tree we pass and the rabbit that crosses on the trail. So we never really get going and I never get a good run in. So these represent impediments or things that get in the way of a good result. And slow your momentum. For job search, these include not having a good elevator pitch, not knowing how to introduce yourself to new people, not having good marketing materials (a one sheet bio and business card for networking).
- You need to build a network that cares about you. A network that has you "top of mind†vs. "bottom shelfâ€. You do that through selfless efforts to support the folks you meet, asking great questions to learn what they need/care about, by telling them specifically about your job search objectives, by becoming a person of influence and finally by simply being a good networker. There are a lot of things to be and to do. For help here, read my two part series called The 20 Habits Of Highly Effective Networkers.
- You need to remain visible. People can't help you or remember that you are still in the market if they don't see or hear from you. Get out of the house for a minimum of 4 hours per day. Schedule coffees, attend networking events, get out to events where you can network with employed people (not just the unemployed). Send a regular network update via e-mail that quickly reminds people of your objectives. Tell them in that note the good things that are happening. And that you'd like their help to keep the momentum going!
- You need fresh new leads every week. Fresh new leads are the food of momentum. And the more you have in the hopper, the better. I call it the power of multiple options. It allows you to focus on more than one opportunity with confidence. Because you are not hyper-focused on one job opening. And desperate to convince someone that you are the only one they should be interviewing. Whether at the job offer stage or the phone interview stage, you can now be yourself knowing that everything isn't riding on this one position. You can feel free to ask good, probing questions. To help you understand if the job is really a good fit for you. Fresh new leads come from your network. Especially a network that already has tangible data on your job search objectives. You can get leads from Indeed, Monster and other online job search engines. You can also get them from company websites, networking organizations or churches that have a job search group on Yahoo. You just need a steady flow to keep your spirits up.
How about you? What tricks do you have for creating or maintaining momentum during the job hunt?

Bill Murray Becomes Just Another 'Reason' Your Son Is Crying
Check your bag. Bill Murray just might be in there.
Sure, Bill Murray is famous for movies and stuff, but he's also known for being spotted doing weird things all over the place. Things like joining kickball teams, crashing karaoke parties, and now: appearing on your favorite "meme" blog. Add Bill as another "reason why my son is crying," because he was submitted by smiling mom Laura R., who captured a snapshot of the actor mimicking her son's tear-stained face. Where will he pop up next?

Are Recruiters Redundant in the World of the Tinder Generation?
We've all heard the terrifying statistics around workforce automation: a net loss of five million jobs in 15 major economies by 2020 , 2.6 million robots in work by 2019, and 47% of jobs at risk of being taken over, including almost half of UK jobs in the next twenty years. We see it happening every day – with ATMs, self-checkout counters and personal assistants. The robots are coming.
But what does all this have to do with Tinder? Well, Tinder has revolutionised the world of dating by removing the middle man: the mutual friend, the socially acceptable situation, our parents and that boy they've been pushing us at for the past decade. In the same breath, Uber has replaced hailing black cabs, mobile banking threatens cashiers and apps like Deliveroo and Just Eat have reduced the need to pick up the phone or walk down to the local chippie. Thanks to applications, all of this can be managed by one device in your back pocket – from online shopping to making a reservation or booking a class at the gym – we have never been more independent. The immediacy and accessibility promised by technology means that the middle man has been stripped back time and time again.
It makes sense therefore to consider the iconic middle man – the recruiter – in this context. That recruitment will follow suit seems somewhat inevitable, and why not? Why not bypass the recruitment consultant with a list of 'tickbox' questions read out from an outdated job spec, and allow candidates to speak directly to the hirer, tech-to-tech? If we employed a Tinder approach, there would need to be a mutual match in order for conversation to start, so a two-way agreement would already be in place. There would arguably be reduced cost, greater efficiency and you wouldn't even need to pick up a phone, let alone host the obligatory two-step interview process. If it doesn't work out, no hard feelings, there's always another person waiting.
This scenario is actually already being dabbled with by recruitment agencies and developers. Reed launched its first ever mobile app in February 2015 that provides improved access to job opportunities for on-the-move candidates, including a feature which enables users to 'swipe' recommended jobs (sound familiar?) Meanwhile, TheLadders has created a mobile app that enables recruiters to swipe left or right against candidates' profiles, using an algorithm that shortlists candidates from the database according to criteria input by the recruiter (e.g. salary expectations, area of expertise etc.).
Interestingly though, mobile recruitment platforms still target recruiters, with some of the most popular including LinkedIn Recruiter, Talent Xray, Hirevue and cloud-based vendor and applicant management systems such as Bullhorn. This suggests that even with improved technical capability, many developers still consider the role of recruiter as fundamental to the hiring process. We believe that there's a number of reasons behind this.
Firstly, if you've ever used Tinder, you'll understand the expression 'trying to find a needle in a haystack'. Sure, it's quicker than many traditional forms of dating but, realistically, if you had the choice between a shortlist of five perfectly matched suitors or the chance to find it yourself through Tinder, you're likely to go for the former. Even more enhanced dating sites like Match still require an element of manual trawling and trial-and-error dating. Here is where the well-connected recruiter adds value.
A good recruiter understands two things: their market and their customer. Strong networks, an established reputation and cutting-edge sourcing techniques mean that recruiters can get to grips with the external market very quickly and hunt out the elite candidates and talent communities that might elude even the most high touch algorithm. Recruiters are engaged for their specialist knowledge and little black book of contacts; this expertise results in increased efficiency and reduced time-to-hire, not to mention avoiding the costly mistake of hiring the wrong person. How many apps can provide reassurance of that?
A recruiter should also work in partnership with their client; that means understanding business strategy, need and culture and knowing how to leverage this information when engaging elusive passive candidates. An application will only tell you about a role's availability – never sell it – and that means your talent pool is severely limited to the estimated 21% of active candidates in the market. Unlike with online dating, there aren't necessarily plenty more fish in the sea, and attracting, finding and engaging superstar candidates still poses challenges to businesses all over the world. Browsing candidates, even formulaically, doesn't seem to be the answer when trying to wow high calibre candidates.
Now let's talk about screening, or rather, 'catfishing'. The internet can hide a multitude of sins and nowadays it's easy to set up a profile pretending to be just about anyone. Imagine trying to find a candidate and having to swipe through 356 fake Bill Gates profiles. Recruiters, particularly candidate-centric recruiters, get to know their candidates at a very granular level to ensure that placements are ideally matched and mitigate the risk of a dropout later on in the process. This can even extend to meeting people face-to-face or pre-screening ahead of interview. Recruiters weed out the catfishes so hiring managers don't have to.
Lastly, you can't underestimate the importance of human touch. In 2013, Oxford university economists conducted an in-depth study analysing the potential impact of computerisation on 702 occupations. Of those occupations, roles that required perception and manipulation, creative intelligence or social intelligence were pegged as the least at risk. Whilst it's certainly true that advances in user interface design are making robots more human than ever (consider Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa and Nadine, the world's most human-like robot ), the reality that a robot will ever replace human understanding, problem solving and relationship management is actually pretty low. The recruiter's ability to think critically and creatively to find unique solutions for client requirements and their natural capability to build relationships and bridge gaps means that the middle man is very central to the process.
So, maybe apps will take over most aspects of our life, and maybe half the population will be out of a job in thirty years, or forty or fifty, but for the foreseeable future at least, the role of recruiter seems pretty safe from the Tinder revolution.

This Hungarian Wonder Home Has More Faces than a Rubik's Cube
This "322 Sq. Ft. Tiny Modern Cabin" is one of the nicest tiny house spaces you will see. Everything about this tiny cabin is clean lined and modern, from the exterior, interior and landscaping of this lovely space.
On the site you will find lots of photos of this stunning tiny house build. Everything in this tiny house space is amazing, from the lighting, to the floors, the use of wood throughout both the exterior and the interior and the sunken wooden steps that go down to the dock. The exterior of this beautiful tiny home uses horizontal strips of wood as the siding with areas around the patio and underneath that look like wood kindling stacked, that gives an amazing effect. Outside there is a modern fire pit with wooden cubed seats surrounding it, the covered outdoor patio of the tiny home has the best lighting around, with a sitting area that fits in with the look of the tiny house. The weathered wood used on the dock also ties in perfectly with the whole look of the house. Inside you have a living/dining/kitchen area in an open space design, with a kitchen that can be hidden by closing the cupboards. The shower is definitely something you want to see with grey used throughout the area, in a simple and clean design that lends to the tiny cabins modern appeal. This tiny cabin located on a beautiful water location, surrounded by willow trees and green grass, fits in nicely with its natural surroundings.
This tiny cabin would be a great guest house, or vacation home for spending time near the water in this clean lined calming tiny cabin. With that said there is also an area on the exterior of the tiny cabin that sits a Buddha, and at night it is lit perfectly of course. This tiny cabin really does feel calming and serene, it would be a lovely place to stay in, to do some writing, or just to get away and relax away from the city. This tiny cabin is an inspiring tiny house space, full of unique and modern ideas.
The amazing thing about many of the tiny houses you will see, is that there is just so much detail in every space. The size of the house certainly doesn't dictate the amount of design and ideas that can go into it. As time and time again, while looking through tiny house spaces you will come across tiny homes that continue to raise the bar when it comes to any type of home design. Design is about all aspects of a home, whether it be a larger sized home or a tiny home. It does not matter if the tiny home is used for full time living, a guest house, a vacation home, artist studio, or writers cabin, everything that goes into a space is important. For the materials you use to build your home, to the property you choose to build your home, and how you are going to complement that location that you are in. Tiny house design just keeps getting better and better. It makes you rethink the purpose and use of our home space, from how you are going to store everything you have, to what you see when you walk into a home.
This tiny house space is one that you'll keep thinking of, it really is that appealing. It really is a great example of just how important the lighting in a tiny house is, from the amount of windows in a tiny house that are going to let in the natural light, to the way a house looks when the sun goes down. This tiny house looks even better at night, every light perfectly showcasing the great design in this tiny home.

Eternal Light
Eternal Light
The 2004 Philip and Sylvia Spertus Judaica Prize Competition
[Top: Eternal Light by Vladimir Zbnovsky, Bottom: Eternal Light by Michelle Honig-Szwarc]
Contemporary artists from around the world offered visual interpretations on the spiritual meaning of light, in this exhibition of the winners and finalists of the leading international competition for Jewish ceremonial art.
The Spertus Judaica Prize is an award established in 1994 to recognize exemplary work and encourage new directions in Jewish artistic expression. The 2004 competition focused on the eternal light, ner tamid in Hebrew. This lamp is housed in Jewish synagogues, shining light on the ark that houses the Torah, Judaism's most sacred object. Twenty-seven outstanding adaptations of the ever-glowing lamp were selected by this year's jurors to illuminate the exhibition. Additional pieces were featured in a special hors de concours (out of competition) section to celebrate the competition's 10th anniversary.
Special thanks to Philip and Sylvia Spertus for their outstanding generosity and support for this endeavor.
Spertus exhibitions are made possible, in part, by a CityArts Program Grant from the Chicago of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency, The Northern Trust Company and The Mayer & Morris Kaplan Family Foundation. In addition, Spertus thanks the Benjamin J. Rosenthal Foundation and Mr. and Mrs. Donald Levison for their support of Eternal Light.

Listen to the Audiobook
Reading The Summer Sacrifice aloud resulted in multiple revisions being made to the book. Voicing the text let me get close to my characters, see the world from outside of my own head, and it helped me gauge flow, pace and tone. Recording an audiobook seemed a natural conclusion to the publishing process. I looked forward to bringing The Summer Sacrifice to life in this way, and was excited about the potential the book would have to reach a broader audience.
When I was researching how to make and produce an audiobook, I found a podcast on The Creative Penn website, a great site for writers created by author Joanna Penn. During this podcast, acclaimed audiobook producer and author J. Daniel Sawyer talks prospective producers through the process of recording an audiobook, from preproduction to distribution.
Sawyer's advice is fantastic. Though he stresses it's a time-intensive and potentially expensive enterprise, he gives clear examples of how to go about creating your audiobook so that neither its quality nor your sanity is compromised.
On his list of things you need, I already had my voice, a good microphone, a basic knowledge of Audacity (an open source sound editing program), a wonderfully geeky boyfriend with a not-so-basic knowledge of Audacity, and a quiet room. I was so excited to commit the story to tape, but on the first day of recording, my preamp broke.
Luckily, my boyfriend gave me a Zoom sound recorder for my birthday.
The actual recording was a bit of a learning curve, and it took twice the time I had anticipated. I was much more adept at the process towards the end of recording the book. With the knowledge I had gained, I then rerecorded The Summer Sacrifice from the beginning.
The audiobook has some sound effects and original music. A few of the sounds are sampled from Sound Jay. Most of the sounds are recorded by me. For example my cat Max has a starring role. He can deliver up indignance, joy and "please feed me!" on a sixpence.
As soon as I know when the entire audiobook will be available to buy, I shall shout loudly about it here. Until then, I hope you enjoy Chapter One!

MLG Capital preps to close an investment fund, launch another
May 6, 2016, 5:00am CDT
With deals lined up to inject money into 4 million-plus square feet of building purchases in multiple states, MLG Capital is preparing to close down its current investment fund and launch another this summer.
The Brookfield-based company is making connections with developers across the country to line up apartment, industrial and office real estate investment opportunities for its funds. The latest
deals will have the fund putting money into property purchases in Dallas; Memphis, Tenn.; and Wisconsin with a combined 2,776 apartments and 1.3 million square feet of commercial building space.
Those deals will cap off the acquisitions by a $50 million fund the company created in late 2014, said Timothy Wallen, MLG Capital's CEO. But there are more potential deals, and more interest from investors who put money into the funds, so MLG Capital intends to launch a new, larger one in August, he said. The dollar amount for that fund has not been nailed down, he said.
It will be MLG Capital's third fund under its current business strategy. The company raised $77 million from investors for the first two. The idea for the business model came in the wake of the recession, Wallen said. "It was a crazy cycle, so it made you reflect on how you could do this business better, smarter," Wallen said.
Instead of rounding up investors for one-off projects around a single property ,MLG Capital's funds put money into, and pull returns from, several types of property in different communities. The company has been traveling around the country to make connections to find those deals, Wallen said. It receives about 50 pitches a month, and will actually invest in one or two, he said.
