Most of us are familiar with application forms; they tend to be lengthy and time consuming, forcing you to repeat what you have on your CV already. If you are applying for lots of jobs, having to complete an application form for each one can be an arduous process.
From an employer's perspective, asking applicants to complete an application form is the first test in finding out who is really committed and who isn't. If you take the time to complete their application form, you're obviously serious about the job!
Many application forms cover the following types of questions:
- Biographical/ historical. These are the details such as name, nationality, permissions to work in the UK, education, work history etc. These questions are fact based and fairly straight-forward to complete; you can copy your responses from one application to another.
- Traditional. Towards the end of your application you are likely to encounter a page where you are invited to share whatever you feel is relevant about yourself, your work experience, your interests, aptitudes and objectives in order to stand out to the selection panel. This is usually the section which cause the most headaches because it's hard to know what to include or if you are doing yourself justice.
- Evidence or competency based. These are specific questions which ask for evidence of different situations where you feel you have demonstrated certain relevant skills e.g. problem solving, communication, team-working etc. There will be a specific question and you need to think of a time you have shown your abilities in this area. It can be easier said than done to get your answers to these sort of questions right. Most people make mistakes in both how they structure their answer and the content they include.
Making the most of your application form
Unremarkable application form answers aren't going to get the attention you need….here's how to make yours count.
You need to make your experience memorable, but not everyone is able to drop everything and hike the Himalayas or volunteer with VSO. When commitments are keeping you stuck, what can you do to make your life and accomplishments stand out?
It's important to make the experience you do have relevant to the job you are being assessed for. You may have braved white water rapids while river rafting in New Zealand, but how can you link that to the challenges you are facing now? It may be that that experience taught you about safety and risk; the power of working as a team; about testing your limits and being pleasantly surprised by what you are capable of. With thought you should be able to make your experience count. There will be times when an interesting example or experience will make you stand out from the crowd so think 'outside the box' if you can. However, if it's not a good fit, don't force it, find something else to include.
Transforming current experience
Part of it is looking at what you have got with fresh eyes. It might not seem a big deal to you if you are used to it, but to an employer it might tell them a lot about you. So whether you help deliver meals on wheels to elderly folk in your neighbourhood every fortnight, help out at kids' gym practice at the weekend, or however you fill your time, it might say more about your relevant skills i.e. caring, problem solving, team working etc, than you might think.
New opportunities
If you're not sure you fall into this category, keep your eyes open for new possibilities. There may be opportunities for you to get involved with something that will boost your application. It doesn't have to be something massively out of your comfort zone, you could just go along with a friend who volunteers for a charity, or offer to help out at a local community club, but you'll gain new experience and it may broader your skills enough to make employers want to take a second look.
Sell your skills
Extra activities will look good on any application especially if you can write about them well. Extra activities will also help you to develop your employability- what team wouldn't value the addition of someone proactive, caring, motivated and altruistic?
For an excellent application form, you must…
- Provide enough detail that the reader knows what you're talking about and why it should matter to them
- Avoid clichés- assessors will read 'I am a highly motivated individual' and 'I work well in a team' a hundred times. And a hundred times it will tell them nothing useful about the person who has written it!
- 'Example' type questions (e.g. give us an example of a time when…) need step by step answers- if you skim over the details and just present a broad overview you will likely miss out the key information i.e. how you do things.
For instance, you may describe being a great organiser, but give no indication about how your approach to this would vary from someone else also claiming the same. The fact is, one of you might genuinely be good at this, the other applicants just saying it (and it's not particularly true). How can the assessors differentiate unless you give them the detail to prove your case?
- Break down your answers- instead of stating that you 'helped a client resolve a problem' you need to cover what you did, why you did it, how exactly you did it, why you settled on that course of action and how you evaluated it.
What's the difference?
If you are asked how was your holiday? You might answer 'good thanks, it was hot and the resort was nice'.
But if you wanted to really answer the question you might say 'it was good, we stayed in a hotel with a sea view with no kids so it was nice and quiet, we ate tapas at a lovely local taverna and got to know the owner who told us about some beautiful beaches, I went jet-skiing for the first time and loved it, the pool was warm and was next to a bar which had a happy hour with amazing cocktails…' etc.
Which one paints a better picture? The one with the relevant detail!

The long-awaited guidelines provide "a timely reminder of the breadth of the powers that will soon be in the hands of another president," said ACLU deputy legal director.
Three years and thousands of deaths later, the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama late Friday finally made public its guidelines for conducting lethal drone strikes.
The release of the Presidential Policy Guidance (PPG), also known as "the Playbook," came in response to a lawsuit filed last year by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) seeking the framework—which Obama said at the time was created in the interest of greater transparency and oversight over the expansive targeted killing program.
Now, three years after that address, the redacted PPG finally provides the rights group with "crucial information about policies that have resulted in the deaths of thousands of people, including hundreds of non-combatants, and about the bureaucracy that the Obama administration has constructed to oversee and implement those policies," said ACLU deputy legal director Jameel Jaffer in a statement on Saturday.
The long-awaited release will serve to "inform an ongoing debate about the lawfulness and wisdom of the government's counterterrorism policies." Further, coming amid the 2016 presidential election, the documents are "a timely reminder of the breadth of the powers that will soon be in the hands of another president," Jaffer added.

Solar PV Installation ( Solar Thermal Magazine ) BAKERSFIELD, CA-REC Solar, a national leader in commercial solar electric system design and installation, today announced it has completed a 102 kilowatt array for The Hampton Inn & Suites Bakersfield North-Airport, a subsidiary of Hilton Hotels, in Bakersfield, California. The carport-mounted installation will offset 44 percent of the electricity costs for the 94-room hotel, saving up to $8,800 per month. The installation reflects the company's ongoing commitment to accelerating solar deployment with hospitality customers.
But REC Solar delivered a price point that convinced us to take another look. They walked us through a range of financing options and designed a tailored carport system which offered many benefits. REC Solar came highly recommended by their existing customers, and have delivered on that sterling reputation throughout this process.
With temperatures regularly reaching 115 degrees, the Bakersfield hotel faces steep cooling costs. Because hotels must maintain comfortable temperatures for their guests at all times, they can be some of the largest consumers of natural resources in hot communities like Bakersfield.
The Hampton Inn had expressed concerns about installing a rooftop array that would require closing the top floor of rooms and forfeiting revenue. As a result, REC Solar worked with The Hampton Inn to design a solar carport that did not require disruption to existing operations. The carport not only generates clean electricity but will also provide much-needed shade for 30 parked cars. REC Solar utilized HelioScope software to design the system, reducing installation time and costs. In addition to the solar array, Hampton Inn installed two electric vehicle charging stations, with room for up to eight stations.
"Hotels can be ideal candidates for solar energy, but have traditionally faced roadblocks ranging from high costs to concerns around customer inconvenience," said Mark Bettis, VP of Sales and Marketing for REC Solar.
REC specializes in tailoring systems specifically for the needs of these customers by cutting soft costs through our design software and building solar carports to avoid impact on customers. In addition to reducing costs, hotels are finding that sustainable initiatives such as solar energy and EV charging stations are becoming increasingly desirable amenities for their customers.
The completion of both the solar array and the EV charging stations was marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony on July 30, 2014.

With the Wikileakes and N.S.A. scandals the United States world leadership has been questioned and dealt a big punch.
Today I read the following headline:
"Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff postponed a state visit to the U.S. to protest an American spy program that has aggressively targeted the Latin American nation's government and private citizens alike." CBS News.
It's not surprising that friendly nations , close allies , neutral or even antagonistic regimes have already taken advantage of the recent "leak scandals" (Snowden, Wikileakes) undermining and criticizing US's foreign policies, US moral standing and international leadership.
These countries big or small can try to throw the first stone and wag their finger but definitely not out of righteousness. That is for certain! The point being, all these manifestations of indignation are proliferating only because they themselves aren't in the eye of the scandal, whilst the US has been caught with their hands inside the cookie jar.
ALL GOVERNMENTS AND ORGANIZED POWER STRUCTURES use classified information, deal in secrecy, have hidden agendas and definitely have dirty dishes they don't want everyone to know about. But many of these nations have escaped these "techno – IT – Internet scandals" just because they use old school traditional intelligence methods such as oppressive regimes, infiltration, torture, peer to peer spying.
From ancient Troy to modern satellite surveillance, insider information has given an edge to the outcome of events; secret government agendas as well as a whole spectrum of leaks in the past have had real impact on world history from independence to revolts, to take overs, to imperialism to the fall of empires.
I am not a big fan of secrecy, spying or hypocrisy but what I do know is that when you try to topple down one massive building there typically are plenty struggling to replace it. Usually the 'wannabes"or "runner ups" are eager to help see the old structures fall giving all kinds of dignified reasons and moral excuses.
I know that all I've said is pretty evident but it invites some questions we should all be asking:
Who will profit and get to have the new tallest building a.k.a. world leadership if we wreck world balance as it is now?
Would you like to live in a world with that type of leadership?
What is the agenda of those trying to seize world leadership?
Do these governments have oppressive governments or are they democratic, do they respect personal freedom, encourage free thinking, free speech, tolerance, freedom of religion, gender equality, social equality, art, creativity, education, justice for all?
Are these "leaders in the making" self-sufficient or do they have overpopulation, scarcity and need to expand their frontiers or influence to succeed?
Are they environmentally friendly?
What is their moral compass?
What is their idiosyncrasy regarding "doing business"?
Are they conservative, liberal, are they gamblers?
Do they practice compassion, solidarity?
Do they encourage their young or do they oppress them?
Do they segregate, divide, practice discrimination against others?
Assange and Snowden have launched a crusade of activists that say information should be free and that hidden agendas in government affairs are directly against the interests of those who are governed. Media has jumped at the scandal making big profit.
There definitely is some good coming out of the revealed leaks disclosing abusive behavior and speculation from big banks, multi-national companies and governments and I am a big defender of freedom of speech and honesty.
Yet if like me you have all these questions running around in your mind, look closely at the impact the information – technology revolution has had in the dissemination of data and gossip which is presently much more wide spread than in any other time of history and put it together with how things might play out. Look deeply and honestly into the concepts of secrecy and confidentiality. Ask if they are one and the same and if we have a right to keep some things to ourselves or not.
This is why I ask:
Can we handle the "truth's" consequences?

|The Kensington Review
27 June 2007
|Special Commentary on Prime Minister Blair's 10 Years in Office:
|Volume VI, Number 77
Blair Brought UK Closer to Brussels, Farther From Washington -- Any assessment of what Tony Blair's years at Number 10 Downing Street meant internationally has to be made in light of the tugging between the Anglo-American special relationship and the UK-European reality. Despite trying to keep Britain closely tied to America, the Blair foreign policy unintentionally weakened British ties to the United States and by default, pushed Britain ever closer to the EU.
Blair Accepts Thatcherism, Devolves the Celts -- Domestically, Tony Blair's time as PM has been one of lost opportunities. In this, he is much like Bill Clinton. Both men are quite clever, able, and rather likable. They just didn't deliver much. The Britain Tony Blair leaves behind is much different from the country that elected him in 1997. To say that it is better is a matter of perspective.
Blair's Economic Legacy Subcontracted to Gordon Brown -- The Blair years economically were not really the Blair years at all. Tony Blair, to be honest, is bored by discussions of economic policy. He was more than happy to let Gordon Brown be Chancellor of the Exchequer all this time. Mr. Brown has done a pretty fair job of keeping Britain from screwing itself up on the money front, and the real concern is whether Mr. Brown can find someone to do half the job he did now that he is Prime Minister himself. That said, Tony Blair gets high marks for delegating a job that he would have handled badly himself.
Blair's Cultural Legacy of Free Museums and the Millennium Dome -- Tony Blair became Prime Minister at a time when British designers, musicians and artists were passing through a rather fertile period. The new PM was a rather middle brow fellow culturally, although having played bass in a rock band distinguished him substantially from his predecessors Benjamin Disrael, Pitt the Younger and Lord Salisbury. The Arts, as opposed to pop culture, under Mr. Blair didn't fare all that badly. The question, though, is whether he had anything constructive to do with it.

Lately, I've been in a funk. I don't really know what it is, but I'm just really not feeling Christmas-y this year. Maybe it's the lack of snow on the ground or the lack of sleep from all the finals stress, but I just don't feel holly jolly. It's like an identity crisis because Christmas time is my absolute favorite time of year. It's not just because I like getting presents, but over the years I've found new reasons to love the holiday season and I want to share them with you.
First, there's something in the air during Christmastime that makes everything a little bit more magical. Maybe it's the faint smell of peppermint coffee (my favorite) or the crispness of impending snow, but I just love being outside during the holiday season because of this magical air. Now I'm sounding like I've really lost it.
Second, the decorations! Oh my! They truly seem to get more extravagant every year! In my hometown, I always knew it was truly holiday season when the wreaths went up and the lights were hung on every house and local business. Here at school, I've noticed the lights shining from dorm rooms, mini trees adorned with ornaments often fashioned from red Solo cups, and of course the lights hung in the square downtown. Now that makes for some magical air.
Third, everyone is more joyful. Yes, there are those crazies who get angry at the mall and the poor retail workers that have to deal with them, but man, I just love how everyone seems to be more jolly and smiling. Today, I was at Target and the cashier said "Happy Holidays!" and I know that she was getting paid to say that but I love the thought behind it.
Fourth, I truly enjoy giving. As I've gotten older, I don't care as much about material goods like the latest phone or toy or what have you. I have really relished putting a lot of time and thought into each gift I give, from the funny (the sexy cowboy calendar I gave my friend one year) to the thoughtful (the at home spa kit I plan to give my mother this year). As T described to me earlier this week, gift-giving is a true test of how well you know someone. I love finding little things that people have mentioned off hand or things that represent an inside joke because putting meaning into a gift is the best part. And their reaction when they open it? Amazing.
I guess now I realize part of the reason why I'm in a Christmas-less funk. I just miss being home. The traditions I have with my mom and sister I simply can't have here, well, at least not for another week and a half. I don't have my dog to cuddle up with either at the moment.
But I'll leave today on a happy note. I went to Target today with T to buy Christmas decorations for my room, and after putting them up, I feel a lot better. Sometimes it takes the little things like decorating and listening to O Tannenbaum by Vince Guaraldi Trio to remember what makes Christmas time so special.
Merry Finals!
P.S. Enjoy the attached picture of me, circa Christmas 1996. Even then I was a Christmas-loving, velvet-wearing fiend.

Talk about luxury SUV segment and Volvo is not a brand unheard of! Models from this Swiss carmaker offer every luxury equipment you have ever heard of and a lot more. Marking a greener footprint, Volvo has introduced their SUV, the XC90 T8 Twin Engine on September 14, 2016, priced at Rs 1.25 Crore, ex-showroom, Delhi
Differences over the XC90? In terms of the exteriors, there is no change in the design whatsoever. However, take a closer look and one would notice the plug-in socket (covered of course) on the front left fender and a T8 badging on the boot. The inside, however, is a different story. The Excellence variant of the XC90 T8 Twin Engine is equipped with four seats, that's right, instead of a rear bench. Each occupant of the car gets their own heated, reclinable seats with their personal climate control. The rear centre of this behemoth is occupied by a centre console tailor-made for the rear passengers with a beverage cooler and an 'Excellence Console' that customises the rear seat environment with regards to air-conditioning temperature, seat heating level, massage, recline, temperature of the beverage and the list goes on.
At the occasion, Tom von Bonsdorff, Managing Director, Volvo India, said "The XC90 T8 Excellence sets the industry benchmark for an environment-friendly efficiency and emissions while enveloping customers in a first class Swedish luxury. It is not only a segment first but India's first plug-in hybrid SUV and we see a lot of interest from our affluent customers who prefer experience 'responsible' luxury."
What's more on the inside? Up front, the driver everything that is present in the XC90. A driver-oriented centre console, different drive modes for different terrains, a 'Sensus' infotainment system that controls the AC temperature, Bluetooth connectivity, navigation – basically everything that the driver would need. What is even more alluring about the interior is the Bower & Wilkins sound system that has 19 speakers, an amplifier to minimise distortions and the end result is impeccable 1400W of flawless Sweden music.
Coming to the powertrain, the XC90 T8 Twin Engine comes with a 2.0-litre, turbocharged and supercharged petrol engine that is coupled to an electric motor. What this translates to is combined max power of 407hp and 640Nm of peak torque – this makes it the most powerful Volvo in India till date. And if all that power once sent to all wheels via an 8-speed Geartronic automatic transmission would result in the SUV not being frugal, the official India website claims a figure of a staggering 47.6 kmpl. Enough said! We rest our case.

Status: Study | Location: Amsterdam | Timespan: 2012 | Scope: Masterplan | Size: 45 acres | Budget: N/A
Amstel III is a mono-functional office district. Many buildings are vacant; nobody wants to work here. This is due in part to a surplus of office spaces in Amsterdam and in part to bad planning. The design laid out here involves architectural interventions that leave space for a subsequent organic process of growth and flexible adaptation, based on the idea that turning mono-functional areas into multi-functional districts can yield healthy, vital urban environments.

The Healing Power of Pets!
If you tend to feel sad, lonely or depressed, I recommend that you consider adopting a pet. Many scientific studies have shown that pets can help us heal physically and emotionally.
The Center for Disease Control plainly states that pets can lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, cure loneliness, increase exercise and improve social life. Other research has shown that pet-owners with AIDS are less likely to be depressed than non-owners; that kids growing up with cats and / or dogs tend to have fewer allergies and asthma, stronger immune systems, and learn greater responsibility.
Another study looked at three different conditions to get an understanding of how pets affect our life. They compared pet owners to non-owners; affectionate vs. less affectionate animals; and observed the healing power of an animal friend after a rejection experience. The results of these studies showed that pet owners reported greater self-esteem, better physical fitness and less loneliness than non-owners. That having any affectionate animal-friend can bring fulfillment and boost wellness even when humans are letting you down. Another finding that there was a positive correlation between pet and people relations: having a great relationship with your pet will be conducive to your social life with people. It appears that this bond strengthens self-esteem, increases happiness and promotes health.
Pet Therapy Programs, which are designed to help people heal physically, emotionally, and socially, have been applied for many years with amazing results. For example, pets have helped patients in hospitals; signer citizens in hospices; children with big challenges; and inmates in prisons. These programs have helped thousands of people heal just by working with animals.
Those of us who have been blessed by the presence of pets in our life know that pets are our close companions because they provide Unconditional Love, Happiness, Laughter, and Friendship. Pets teach us to be more patient and to enjoy the little things in Life.

The Correct Way To Make Money OnlineEvery working day new individuals arrive onto the Internet and question how to make cash online. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these individuals fall short and will not make 1 single greenback.

Have at least three text modules. There are a number of different types of modules that can be additional to your Squidoo lens. One of the very best modules to have are textual content modules.

With this fast visitors technique you're having to pay for visitors, so you want to get as a lot of a return on your expense as you can. Therefore, you require a technique of capturing e-mail addresses before they arrive.

Then, of course, I hear the individuals say, "But what's all this stuff about creating cash online quick and free?" Nicely, verify the phrase. Sure, you can make money online. Is the cash free or the component about creating the money? Is someone making free cash using a money push or something? Actually no. Allow me clarify.
Well, not as easy as we had been direct to believe, huh? Well, it can be simple but it takes a bit of time to discover some things initial. And, sure, you can get that $500 to $10,000 in a week. Only, you much more than likely won't get it your initial week! It can occur although, a few months later or a month later on but you will have to put some extra time and work in sooner if you want to have it happen quicker.
As you can see from the above list, cash creating more info possibilities abound on the Internet. If you are contemplating whether or not you want to be a stay at home mother, do some study. Figure out your skills, time availability, likes/dislikes temperament, and ambitions. There are 1000's (perhaps millions) of ways to make cash on-line. You are only limited by your imagination.

HEIR, From Fatal Pictures, Is A Truly Disturbing Short Film
"All things considered this is a really well done short film, with subject matter that fits solidly within the horror genre. If it disturbs its audience or makes them at all uncomfortable, the filmmakers have done their jobs well. Seeing what Powell can create in a time span under 20 minutes, makes me want to see what he can do with something feature length."

Only one Lithium based battery pack can be used at a time, although you may have replacement batteries if stored in a safe manner. (see General Rules)
Power in controller – Lithium based cells (1.2v) or battery packs (up to 6v) are to be secured in, or to, the hand held controller in such a way as to avoid direct contact by the operator.
Power on board the robot – The battery pack(up to 12v) must be secured in, the robot in such a way as to avoid detachment in the event the robot leaves the track or is flipped. The charging of all Lithium based batteries shall be performed in the charging area provided. A volunteer will be available to monitor for excessive heat, leakage or eruption of the batteries but will not be responsible for theft. If any charging battery is deemed to be in danger of eruption, the supervising volunteer will cover the battery with sand and remove it from the building, therefore we recommend the battery be removed from the controller for charging if possible.
Care must be taken to ensure that the tether conductors can safely handle the maximum current without heating either the conductors or hand controller to dangerous levels.
Tether control wires are limited to a maximum of 8 x 24 gauge conductors for the tether. Radio controlled robots must use authorized RC land-use frequencies. All radio controlled robots should have incorporated into their design the provision for a change of frequency without the use of soldering equipment.
The robot shall not contain parts that could break or damage the Playing field.
This competition is intended to challenge the robot designer/builder to build from scratch, therefore a commercially made robot/radio controlled or other tethered off-road vehicles must be significantly modified.
Robot Identification
The MRG identification sticker(s) applied while checking-in must be easily readable on the robot's body while the robot is in competition.
Playing Field Size
Width will be 2 feet. Length will be between 22 and 26ft depending on which track modules are used.
Playing Field Construction
The playing field is composed of interconnected 2 foot square modules and will probably be symmetrical from end to end. The centre module may allow only one robot to pass at a time.
Playing Field Obstacles
May include: rope bridge, simulated whirlpool, textured from smooth undulating through sandy to pebble and/or river washed rock, and more. Must keep your wits about you as there are no barriers to the edge of the playing field though we will provide some cushioned protection for falling robots.
Competition Procedure
At the judge's instruction, the robots are placed at opposite ends at of the playing field in a position to accept the payload from the overhead loader.
Contestants will position themselves one on each side of the playing field and will try not to hinder their opponent.
When both contestants are ready, the judge will signal the start of the three minute bout at by releasing the payload.
It is suggested that, for both tethered and autonomous robots, the start mechanism could be derived from the seating of the steel payload ball.
A team may halt the start, just once, no later than 10 seconds after the start. This allows for last moment emergencies like forgetting plugging in a battery. The team must complete any repairs and be ready to compete within one minute.
If robot tethers become tangled, both contestants will stop their robot's progress to allow the controllers to be passed through until the tethers are free at which point the competition may resume.
The first robot to have reached "goal" (when their payload, the ball, has been deposited in, and has reached the bottom of the chute, triggering flashing lights at that end of the track) will be considered the winner of that bout.
Each bout will be up to three minutes in length and spaced five minutes apart unless dictated by the judge in charge.
Bumping of the opposing robot is allowed, however intentional blocking is not allowed.
General Competition Rules
Please review the Manitoba Robot Games General Rules which may be found on the Competitions page.
Failure to follow the MRG General Rules may result in the following:
- Warning being issued.
- Disqualification and loss of match.
- Disqualification from competition and or event.

Cookham Jubilee
Terrie Robinson
Terrie (short for Teresa) has lived in the same house in Cookham Dean for 19 years, and for 10 years was Parish administrator at Holy Trinity.
This year Terrie was ordained a priest or what they call a non stipendary local minister. In other words you're a spare vicar for Cookham but we wont pay you!
What I love about Terrie is the way she makes christianity practical. She's got people writing letters on behalf of Amnesty International, encouraged Cookham to provide the capital for people in Chile to build their own homes, introduced Trade Craft to the village so that third world producers are paid a fair price for their goods; She's got people thinking about the Cut the Debt campaign – they said it was impossible two years ago, but America recently wiped out Pakistan's debt when they wanted their help.
Now she works full time for Save the Children.
Terrie is a real pioneering spirit in our village.

ACOG on VBAC: In Their Own Words | Our Bodies Our Blog
might the unreasonable requirements for hospital VBACs be changing?
- In 1999 (and again in 2004), ACOG released guidelines [pdf] stating that "VBAC should be attempted in institutions equipped to respond to emergencies with physicians immediately available." This standard has been widely blamed for the lack of VBAC availability in many parts of the United States, as many hospitals discouraged or stopped doing VBACs, and in some cases malpractice insurance companies refused to cover claims resulting from the procedure.
- As Rita Rubin explained in a 2005 USA Today story on the issue, "Many hospitals have interpreted that [the 'immediately available' standard] to mean they must have an anesthesiologist and operating room standing by whenever a patient attempts a VBAC, a luxury they say they can't afford. If they can't meet the guidelines, they argue, they're opening themselves up to lawsuits should mother or baby be injured during a VBAC attempt."
- What level of risk is acceptable, and who decides? Currently, hospitals, insurance companies, and plaintiff attorneys decide or strongly influence whether VBAC is an option. Instead, the patient should be allowed to make that choice after she has been informed of the facts and has been counseled by her physician thoroughly.
- "Despite the reality of disparate resources, we should 'find a way' for those who want the option of VBAC," Scott continues. "Reducing the number of primary cesareans deals with the problem where it originates."

The return of Caramilk has taken NZ by storm this last week! As soon as I got my hands on a block, I knew I wanted to try it in cake form. So what better use for a few blocks of Caramilk than a Caramilk mud cake and Caramilk ganache? I used exactly 3 blocks which did the cake, ganache and chocolate garnish. This recipe is based off the ever popular Caramel Mud Cake recipe which is also excellent. The finished cake is 20cm round and approx approx 5cm tall and…Read More

Caramel Mud Cake with Salted Caramel
This cake is DELICIOUS! You only need a small sliver thanks to the sticky caramel on top. The cake itself is dense and fudgy, but still melt in your mouth. If you make just one thing on this blog, let it be this! If you want a tall cake, make two and sandwich them together, or double the recipe and bake it in three batches. It's better to bake it in smaller layers so you don't dry it out too much on the outside before the inside is cooked. I…Read More

Critic Score

5 point score based on user ratings.
DescriptionVirus 3 is a puzzle game based on the Filler concept. It takes place on a board separated into individual cells in various colors. The player starts with a single cell in the top-left corner, and must spread the "virus" onto the rest of the board. In each move the player picks a color, and all cells in the specified color that border his territory come under his control.
In single-player mode, on each level the player must take over the entire board within a limited number of moves. On each subsequent level the move limit decreases by one. If the player fails to cover the board within the move limit, the game is over and the player's score is tallied. Score is gained for conquering cells and for completing a level with leftover moves available.
In the two-player mode the human player can compete with the computer or with another human. Both opponents start from opposite corners of the board and strive to take over more cells than the other player, with the game ending once the entire board is filled.
There are three cell shapes (square, hexagon, triangle), several board layouts, and various numbers of colors to choose from.
The browser version of the game acts as a limited teaser for the full retail version, offering a limited selection of layouts and color schemes, and no two-player mode.

Document Details
Published Document
Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice of temporary deviation from regulations.
The Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District, has issued a temporary deviation from the regulation governing the operation of the Tule Lake Vertical Lift Span Highway and Railroad Bridge across the Corpus Christi—Port Aransas Channel, mile 14.0, at Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas. This deviation allows the bridge to remain closed to navigation for four hours on two consecutive days. This temporary deviation is necessary for the removal of scaffolding used during the maintenance of the rope sheaves and for the cleaning and lubrication of the haul and counterweight ropes of the drawbridge.
This deviation is effective from 7 a.m. on Wednesday, March 16, 2005, through 11 a.m. on Thursday, March 17, 2005.
Materials referred to in this document are available for inspection or copying at the office of the Eighth Coast Guard District, Bridge Administration Branch, Hale Boggs Federal Building, room 1313, 501 Magazine Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130-3396 between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The telephone number is (504) 589-2965. The Bridge Administration Branch of the Eighth Coast Guard District maintains the public docket for this temporary deviation.Start Further Info
David Frank, Bridge Administration Branch, telephone (504) 589-2965.End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information
The Port of Corpus Christi Authority has requested a temporary deviation in order to remove scaffolding from the bridge that was required to perform scheduled maintenance on the Tule Lake vertical lift span bridge across Corpus Christi—Port Aransas Channel, mile 14.0 at Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas. This temporary deviation will allow the bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation position from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Wednesday, March 16, 2005, and from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Thursday, March 17, 2005.
The vertical lift span bridge has a vertical clearance of 9.0 feet above mean high water, elevation 1.0 feet Mean Sea Level and 11.0 feet above mean low water, elevation -1.0 Mean Sea Level in the closed-to-navigation position. Navigation at the site of the bridge consists mainly of oil tankers and tows with barges. There is no recreational pleasure craft usage at the bridge site. Due to prior experience, as well as coordination with waterway users, it has been determined that this two-day partial closure will not have a significant effect on these vessels. The bridge normally opens to pass navigation an average of 850 times per month. The bridge opens on signal as required by 33 CFR 117.5. The bridge will be able to open for emergencies during the closure period. Alternate routes are not available.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(c), this work will be performed with all due speed in order to return the bridge to normal operation as soon as possible. This deviation from the operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.Start Signature
Dated: February 15, 2005.

Bridge Administrator.

Grimsvötn Eruption May 2011
At approximately 17:30 Universal and local time on 21 May 2011 the Grímsvötn volcano on Iceland began to erupt. The volcano sent a plume of ash and steam about 20 km into the atmosphere. The volcano is located under the Vatnajökull.
Jökull is Icelandic for glacier. Vatnajökull is the largest glacier in Iceland. Vatna is a form of the Icelandic word vatn, in which we recognise the English word water, but it also means lake. In the plural vatn becomes vötn in nominative and accusative, vötnum in dative, and vatna in genetive (of lakes). So Vatnajökull means Glacier of Lakes. Vatnajökull is located in the south-east of the island, covering more than 8% of the country. With an area of 8,100 km², it is the largest ice cap in Europe by volume (3,100 km³). The average thickness of the ice is 400 m, with a maximum thickness of 1,000 m. Under the Vatnajökull ice cap there are in fact several volcanoes, the Grimsvötn also known as Grímsfjall volcano is just one of them. Grímsvötn are situated in a caldera, where only the southern rim of the 6 x 8 km caldera is exposed.
NASA Earth Observatory image of 22 May 2011: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=50684
Grímsvötn is a basaltic volcano which has the highest eruption frequency of all the volcanoes in Iceland - it erupted nine times between 1922 and 2004. It has a southwest-northeast-trending fissure system. The 2011 volcanic eruption in Grímsvötn is the largest in that volcano for 100 years and larger than the one in Eyjafjallajökull last year. I suppose we all remember how air travel was disrupted last year, when a cloud of ash from the Eyjafjallll volcano grounded more than 100,000 flights and left eight million passengers stranded. So far the new Grimsvötn eruption has been less drastic for aviation for several reasons. The ash particles from Grimsvötn are greater and heavier than those from Eyjafjallajökull and therefor fall faster to the ground. The European aviation reaction is different this time having learnt from last year's event. The weather situation is different, especially winds and in particular the position of the jet stream.
Many people think that the Grimsvötn eruption has finally ended, but according to what Jón Frimann wrote yesterday on his Iceland Volcano and Earthquake blog it is not over yet.

Once upon a time I placed my palm to my face as my friend announced that she thought there was only one type of whale.
"And which type might that be?"
I asked, surprised at the thought of this concept.
"You know, the whaley type."
She responded, content with her answer.
Maybe she was thinking of the biggest animal known to man, the blue whale, who's heart is the size of a small car. The whale that marks the benchmark for awe inspiring mass amongst the animal kingdom while somehow simultaneously achieving such incredible levels of grace and beauty in its movements.
Or maybe she was thinking of the Beluga whale, such a unique looking specimen which is so pale grey it almost appears to be white in the right levels of sunlight. Its bulbous forehead housing a rather intelligent brain, with aquarium workers claiming to hear the Belugas speak to them through the glass panels.
What if she was thinking of the Sperm whale, known for its giggle-inducing name, which appear to me to look like big long rocks with tails. Maybe she was thinking about how they sleep vertically in a circular group to resemble pillars of ancient ruins in order to be protected against loitering predators.
In my brain, there are too many whales to name. Toothed whales, baleen whales, smaller whales and gigantic whales. Lonely whales who call long distances to find somebody, anybody to share their lives with, whales in family groups migrating long distances together and whales who have succumbed to the whaling villages who use their meat for food and their hide for their homes. I wonder how a person can believe there is only one species of whale in amongst all of the vast diversity.
Personally, I never grasped the true awe of whales until I was acquainted by many mother Humpbacks, teaching their calves to breach in order to rid their backs of parasites. I watched intently as the mothers jumped first, heaving their huge and weighty bodies out of the ocean, somehow defying the laws of physics, flipping over and slamming themselves back into the ocean causing an enormous splash. The calves followed, they were babies by name but hardly by size. They heaved their smaller bodies out of the water and following mum, awkwardly fell back into the ocean from which they came.
Seeing them up close was only reaffirming what I saw in National Geographic photographs and David Attenborough documentaries. The bumps on their head gave them a unique texture along with the straight ridges that they sported on the underside of their bodies. The smooth skin on their backs and dorsal fins were marked and nicked from a rough ocean life of predators, rocks and communication with other whales, as if they were covered in graffiti like common street mammals. Their dorsal fin was the most peculiar of all however, as its small bulbous point was hardly the angular fin that most cetaceans possess. They were absolutely stunning, and happy to show off their tails and flippers to us mere humans while we were ogling at them from the boat.
Watching these beauties I couldn't help but be overwhelmed with the feeling that these creatures were real and alive in front of me, in a way that led me to believe I formerly regarded them as fictional and magical beasts. It is one thing to accept that whales exist from watching them in documentaries and seeing them in photos but it is another thing to sit in wonderment as they dance through the ocean around you. To add one last slice of magic, their song reverberated through the boat and filled our ears with the most wonderful sultry melody. They truly were the best performers of that slice of ocean.
It is a shame that whales are hunted so dramatically all over the world, especially in Nordic countries, and more so, it is a shame that something so vast and magnificent is confined to a life behind glass for human entertainment. Seeing whales in the wild is a truly amazing experience and I urge you to add them to your bucket list of animals to see. I was planning on swimming with the Humpbacks, however due to the young calves being present, we didn't come between the mums and their babies within their safe haven and put ourselves in potential danger. Whales taught me a long time ago that seeing animals perform their song and dance for you in the wild on their own, is a far more breathtaking experience than knowing a human orchestrated their behaviour. The world is magical without our interference, and whales are definite proof of that.

Genius 12 year-old evil mastermind Artemis Fowl goes from adventure to adventure accompanied by his faithful bodyguard Butler, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon, Foaly the smart-aleck high-tech centaur and Mulch Diggums, a criminal dwarf suffering from flatulence. Together they can pretty much do it all!
Each novel takes the characters into another action-packed adventure with a mystery to solve. Artemis Fowl is a series about growth, trust and friendship. Not your average YA; this one is a bit more serious, making it better, more rounded, more interesting.
In this episode we discuss both the series and the graphic novels :)

A young man simply referred to as "A" inherits a very large mansion. That happens everyday! He and his mute (not deaf) companion Niamh come to the US from Europe to take possession of said mansion with all its contents. OK! The mansion once belonged to Ambrose Wells, his second cousin twice removed, who jumped off the window. Hmmm…! The cousin committed suicide the exact same way his father did at the exact same age in the exact same room in the house. Wait! What?? Oh, and the house is haunted!
But there is more, so much more! What exactly happened to Ambrose Wells and what kind of person was he before he decided to attempt a somersault a few stories high? Who are those people who names resonate of Greek philosophers? What kind of weird society was Ambrose presiding over? What is going to happen in December at the next scheduled meeting? And most importantly, why is A having all kinds of weird and recurring nightmares?
A great story that plays with both form and content. For those who enjoy Stephen King, Lovecraft, or creepy novels like "House of Leaves" or "The Manuscript found in Sarragosa" this one is for you!

Everybody knows about the Pinkerton Agency. Yet, probably less people know about the man behind it all: Allan Pinkerton. Allan and his wife Joan came to the USA in the 1840's. Allan was to be a cooper, as was his trade in Scotland. Little did he know he was to be the father of one of the most notorious law enforcement agencies on the continent.
Studying the life and work of Allan Pinkerton year by year, the author does a great job at allowing the reader a peak into what it means to be one of the most thorough crime fighters in history. Enlightening!

John Charming has a lot of issues. Yes, he is a Charming, kissing princesses, fighting dragons and all. But this was a long time ago. Now, he is a bartender in a small town in Virginia. Yet, his peaceful days behind the counter are almost over. When Sig, a tall gorgeous blonde walks into his bar, John soon realizes his life is about to change, not necessarily for the better.
In episode 100 we discuss both "Charming" and "Daring", books 1 and 2 of the Pax Arcana series.
An hilarious, fast pace read featuring John Charming, Prince, Knight, Werewolf, Renegade and all together badass with a exceptional supply of punchlines, smart aleck comments and loaded guns. I strongly recommend! :D

John Taylor really does not want to go back to the Nightside, that shady weird underside of London, where all types of mythical creatures dwell, good and bad. But when a rich lady comes begging to help her find her missing teenager, John cannot say no. Plus she is offering a lot of money!
And just like that John is back in the Nightside! His reputation for locating things with his "gift" precedes him. Clearly John and the Nightside have a history. Could be because of his mother?
In episode 99, we discuss both "Something from the Nightside" (looking for the missing teenager) and "Agents of Light and Darkness" (who stole the Unholy Grail?), books 1 and 2 of the Nightside series.
Fun (and funny) little novels. Highly enjoyable! Can't wait to read all the others and tie the loose ends :)

New York, 1845.
The Irish population is increasing with new immigrants coming by the dozens every day. The "copper stars" are born. A few children are found dead.
Three events that look like they have nothing in common; yet, they are deeply intertwined. This is what Timothy Wilde, ex-bartender turned "copper" is going to find out.
In this mystery novel told from Tim's point of view, the reader is thrown into the slums of New York. Very-well written with an abundant use of "flash" speech (slang of the time and place), the reader will follow Tim as he pieces the reasons why 10 year old Bird Daly came running to him one fine evening, her nightgown covered in blood…

New father, new boarding school, new "friends" (if you can call the girls in school "friends"), a twin sister gone and an insane mother. Oh, and of course that father you have never seen before takes you away from Wales to England, so now, you also have to deal with culture shock. Great!
This is Mori's life in a nutshell. And to add insult to injury, she needs the help of a stick to help her walk, making her the pariah of her new boarding school. Awful, right? Well it would be if it weren't for Sci-Fi novels and faeries. Yes, faeries! They do make life a bit better, if you know where to look.
A great Hugo Award winner that takes you through Mori's life at 15. Written in the form of a diary, the novel takes the reader through the trials and tribulations of a teenager discovering love, life and whole bookshelves of Sci-Fi novels :)

For this week's prompt, write a dessert poem. The poem can be titled as a dessert. The main characters could be eating or waiting for dessert. Or dessert could just be hinted at in the poem. Of course, I'm expecting a variety of desserts to be mentioned. Happy poeming!
Here's my attempt at a dessert poem:
"Strawberry Cheesecake"
Most pictures don't do the real thing justice,
but there you are–in your airbrushed glory–
smiling straight into the camera (some
lucky photographer who got to say,
"smile," in person) with your hair suspended
around your face like fire ready to burn
a house down (or something) and my hunger
couldn't be any more piqued than right now.

Welcome! I believe in the importance of connecting to people first, so here is a little information about myself. I was born in California but raised in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, which is why you will notice a slight accent. I've been married for 23 years to a wonderful man and have three amazing sons! In March of 2002, my husband came to Phoenix for a seminar and fell in love with the weather and the gorgeous sunsets, so we decided to relocate to the Valley later that same year.
We were in for a surprise when we got out of the airport and felt our first taste of summer. I have to admit, it took some adjusting, but we soon learned to love the dry weather and the life in AZ. I first became a licensed Real Estate agent in 2003 and practiced until 2008. I took a short break while my husband and I started a new business but always had the urge to return to Real Estate, since I enjoyed helping my clients in finding the perfect new home. Although my husband remains active with that endeavor, when I was introduced to New Traditions Realty, I knew that here is where I wanted to be and the time was perfect to come back.
There are many Realtors working in the Valley so why choose me? First of all, I promise to really listen to your needs. I promise to give you all information so you can make the best choice. I promise to be honest, patient and respectful of your time. My goal is to be your Real Estate agent for life and not just for one transaction; I really hope that I can earn your trust.

The Maltese is of the AKC Toy Group and is an affectionate, loving, sturdy, small dog with a gorgeous, long, silky white coat. If coats are left long and not trimmed, they are grooming intensive. Delighting in spending time with their owner, they love to go where ever their owners go. The Maltese has a dainty look but don't let that deceive you as they are really a hardy breed. Due to their low exercise needs, these beautiful dogs make fine pets for the elderly and are very adaptable to all kinds of indoor living conditions.
Origin: Malta
Maltese Links:

Maltese Rescue Groups
American Maltese Association
Grooming: Intense daily grooming care. Maltese need daily brushings to prevent matting and tangling. Regular washing and eye care. For pet owners, applying a "pet trim" will help with grooming needs, however, trips to the groomer will be necessary. Many sport a topnot if coats are left long and flowing.
Social Skills: This little dog gets along fine with other dogs and household pets. Socialize early to prevent nippiness with strangers.
Personality: Very devoted, playful, and affectionate and thrive on human companionship. Appearing delicate at first, Maltese are not sissies.
Children: Very good with older respectful children.
Housing: Very adaptable to different living conditions. Ideal pets for the elderly. Not suitable for those not wanting to maintain their daily grooming needs.
Exercise: Low. Very minimal. They do enjoy a romp or short walk for stimulation.
Training: Intelligent. Trains easily and quickly.
Health: Hypoglycemia, deafness, luxating patellas, and dental problems. More information on Maltese inherited health disorders.
History: The Maltese origin is in the Mediterranean area on an island called Malta. These dogs were raised as companions and were a favorite of the Greeks, Romans and Egyptions. The history of the Maltese has been known for 3,000 years as evidenced in an unearthed dig in Egypt. The first "known" recognition of a Maltese-type dog is around 600-300 BC from documentations of a lap dog existing in the Mediterranean area. By the 17th and 18th centuries, they became attractive companions for the ladies. There are several theories about their history. At one point they were considered to be terriers, and now they are considered to be of spaniel heritage according to the AKC.

If you owe a substantial amount of back taxes to the IRS, you may find yourself contacted by mail, or even visited in person, by an IRS revenue officer. As intimidating as revenue officers can be, though, they're technically not cops: these representatives of the federal government don't carry guns, and they're not entitled to search your house (or your office) without your consent. It's important to know your rights when dealing with an IRS revenue officer, so you don't reveal incriminating evidence without first contacting an experienced tax lawyer in Norman or Oklahoma City.
An IRS Revenue Officer Can Be Extremely Aggressive, But He Can't Violate Your Constitutional Rights
The primary function of an IRS revenue officer is to recover the back taxes you owe; from his perspective, all other considerations are strictly secondary. The most successful revenue officers are extremely aggressive, and are not averse to:
Visiting your company when you're not there, and interviewing your managers and fellow employees about the state of your finances.
- Casually leafing through the papers on your desk when he comes in for a face-to-face interview.
- Contacting your bank to requisition information about your savings accounts, or the current status of your mortgage.
- Interviewing family members—including ex-spouses, parents, and adult children—about your finances, and any money you may have given them to evade your tax bill.
Sooner rather than later, someone will tip you off that an IRS revenue officer has been inquiring about your finances. At this point, it's important to contact the officer directly and tell him that you would like to hire a lawyer; this will pretty much hamstring his investigation until your attorney gets in touch with him and begins negotiations (say, by offering a plan by which you can pay your back taxes in installments, or challenging the IRS's claim to back taxes in the first place).
An Aggressive IRS Revenue Officer Deserves an Aggressive Oklahoma Tax Attorney
IRS revenue officers come in all shapes and sizes; some are more aggressive than others, and some step over the ill-drawn line that separates individual initiative from unconstitutional encroachment on your rights. No matter what type of revenue officer has been assigned to your case, you need to hire an experienced Oklahoma City tax lawyer who can meet this threat head-on and secure the best possible outcome to your case. Call the law firm of Travis W. Watkins, PC at 800-721-7054 for a free consultation today!

Irrespective of the the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEoI), foreign authorities have the possibility to receive data from taxpayers via group requests.
With group requests, foreign states can in particular request data from taxpayers that try to avoid the AEoI, in particular by closing their account before entering into force of the AEoI. After the acceptance of the Dutch group request by the Federal Court, it is not anymore the question if additional countries will approach Switzerland with group requests, but which country will be the next.
