A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Kelly LeDonni, the founder of Gluten Free Labels. Kelly lives fairly close to the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) office, so she dropped by to share her celiac story with me and leave a sample of the new labels.
The gluten-free labels are exactly what they sound like. Anyone sharing a kitchen at home with people who eat gluten knows that it can be difficult to keep gluten-free utensils and cooking equipment safe from cross-contamination. To tackle to the problem in her own home, Kelly searched the internet for special labels she could use. When she wasn't pleased with the designs she found, she decided to create her own and share them with other people living with celiac disease.
I'm an advocate of anything that works to keep people a little bit safer from cross-contamination, so naturally I think the labels are a great idea. What I like most about these labels is that while they are obviously calling out that something is gluten-free, they're still easy on the eyes. They come in a few different sizes; one of the round labels is about the size of a half dollar and the other is roughly the size of a quarter. They do come in larger rectangular versions with sayings like "No grain, no pain" and "Respect, don't infect." They leave space for you to write things like the date it was made, what it is, etc. Convenient, right?
The hanging label was my favorite. It's a circular tag that can be hung from pot handles, serving spoons, cutting boards, cabinet handles…the possibilities are endless. The bonus? It is oven safe, so you don't have to worry about it melting if you want to attach it to your baking pans.
You can check out all the designs and label varieties at www.GlutenFreeLabels.com. They're running an Easter special, so if you're on the hunt for labels of your own, be sure to check it out soon!
I love this idea! I bought two toasters for our vacation house, mine is red with black paint on it that says Gluten Free Only. But at home I would constantly have to make sure our guests, especially teenagers, aren't using my side of the toaster or sticking knives back in the mayo, peanut butter etc.
Hope these labels help relieve some of the stress at home!
i really appreciate this. this is a good idea for celiac people
We thought so too! Glad you enjoyed the post.

Forty years after the end of World War II, it is increasingly clear that theft of enemy messages was crucial to the United States victory over Japan. This ``theft'' was accomplished by men and women who analyzed intercepted radio communications, cracked codes, and squeezed out secret information on such things as ship movements and attack targets.
Such radio intelligence gave the US invaluable advantage during the Battle of Midway, according to a new book drawing on recently declassified documents. But the man who broke the Midway secrets was promptly reassigned to a post of less responsibility so others could take credit for his work, charges the book.
Furthermore, US bureaucratic infighting may have earlier helped the Japanese achieve complete surprise in their raid on Pearl Harbor, according to ``And I Was There,'' the memoirs of the late Rear Adm. Edwin Layton.
Last month, the Navy belatedly recognized the contributions of one of the most skilled radio intelligence officers of World War II, Capt. Joseph Rochefort, by posthumously awarding him the Distinguished Service Medal. Captain Rochefort had twice been turned down for the decoration during his lifetime.
It was Rochefort, officer in charge of Pearl Harbor's ``Hypo'' code-breaking station, who puzzled out the fact that the Japanese intended to attack Midway Island in June 1942. With that foreknowledge, Adm. Chester Nimitz, commander of the Pacific Fleet, set a trap that crippled Japan's naval forces.
Unfortunately for Rochefort, high-ranking intelligence officers in the US had insisted the Japanese would strike elsewhere. ``Washington concluded the target would be, variously, the Aleutians, Hawaii, the West Coast, or the Panama Canal,'' says Capt. Roger Pineau, co-author of ``And I Was There''.
Proved wrong, these headquarters officers were unhappy. ``They set about manipulations to prove they had been right all the time,'' says Captain Pineau. ``In the course of that they ordered Rochefort back to Washington on temporary duty.'' Rochefort ended up commanding a floating dry dock, while the officers in question -- notably a pair of brothers named Joseph and John Redman -- solidified their bureaucratic hold on naval intelligence, says Pineau.
This incident shows that while radio intelligence was invaluable during World War II, it was also beset by terrific intramural battles that reduced its effectiveness. Admiral Layton, chief intelligence officer of the Pacific Fleet from 1940 until Japan's surrender, wanted to make this point clear in his memoirs, according to his co-author. (Capt. Pineau was himself a radio intelligence officer in World War II, and a long-time friend of Layton.)
Such Navy turf wars may have inadvertently helped Japanese forces in their Dec. 7, 1941, surprise raid on Pearl Harbor. Fearful of security leaks, Navy headquarters in Washington withheld crucial informaton from Pearl Harbor forces in the months preceding the attack. Given access to this data, most of which came from ``Magic'' decodes of intercepted Japanese diplomatic messages, Pacific commanders would have smelled out Japanese intentions, argues ``And I Was There.''
One message, from Tokyo to the Japanese consulate in Honolulu, asked spies to draw up a grid map of Pearl Harbor, so that information on ship anchor locations could be passed quickly and accurately.
``You don't ask for information like that casually,'' says Pineau of this ``bomb plot'' message.
The officers in charge of Pearl Harbor forces at the time of the Japanese attack -- Army Lt. Gen. Walter Short and Adm. Husband Kimmel -- were forced into retirement shortly thereafter. Layton, who as fleet intelligence officer was there during the attack, believed all his life that both Short and Kimmel had been made scapegoats.
The fault instead was institutional, believed Layton, a matter of poor lines of communication and bad analysis. But for the quickly-called panels of inquiry, to say so ``would not have been good for the war effort,'' points out Pineau. ``So they let two men take the rap.''

They don't snap on easliy
These are supposed to be a standard to fit metro shelving, they do not snap on they are made too short. Manufacture notes that these are made for "Nexel" shelving.

Quality of Label Holder
Your review: Well made and of good material.
Pros: Sturdy and a nice looking holder.
Cons: Unfortunatley it only fits shelves with a single wire strand on top. They don't flex at all so it will not fit a double, top wire shelf which is why I couldn't use them.
label holder
Your review: Unfortunately they do not fit right on the 3" shelf I have. They are very difficult to get on or move and if you try to pry them off they crack.
Price was great and they came so quick which was a big plus. Manufacture notes that these are strictly for wire shelves.
Black shelf label holder
Your review: A simple solution to a vexing problem. When you have lots of gear to sell, it can cost a lot of time looking for it on your shelves. These labels quickly let you scan whats in the storage containers and saves looking in containers to find products to send your customers. Easy to install and large enough for plenty of info.
Metro Shelf Label Holders need work, but work ok
Your review: These label holders did not fit the metro shelves they were bought for. They were just a shade too small. However, when heated in a pan of hot water, they became more flexible and we were able to put them on the shelves. You offer them for a great price, so (since we know the trick to make them work) we ordered more.

Before the Internet, we gathered information via offline sources like encyclopedias, print magazines, print newspapers, old school radio and television. I remember feeling excitement when I browsed through favorite subjects in World Book Encyclopedia. Before Kindle, Nook and iPad I remember spending hours at bookstores or libraries and filling my basket with fiction and non-fiction titles alike. Gathering information was simpler as there wasn't an overabundance of sources to choose from.
Fast forward to present day and you could pretty much get anything you could ever want or need through the web's information highway. While I still love going through offline materials every once in awhile, getting information online is easier, mostly free and convenient as you never have to leave your home. All you need is a computer and Internet connection. In today's digital era we've got online newspapers, online magazines, Wikipedia, blogs, podcasts, vlogs (video blogs), Netflix, YouTube and other social media. Information is constantly being updated and you almost don't want to stop consuming content for fear of missing out on something that might be important.
While's it's great to learn, and knowledge is truly power, there comes a time when you need to be productive. While some information is great, too much consumption can distract you from getting what you need to get done done.
Think about your New Year's resolutions. What are they and what are your priorities? Was this the year you would make time to go to the gym, start a new blog, experiment with techniques in art or photography, write a novel, get a new job, start a new side business, etc.? Have you found yourself researching aspects on how to get started on your goals or what to create that you found yourself either not moving towards your goals or not creating at all?
There needs to be a way to be more balanced, mindful and selective in obtaining information while also taking action. There are still times when I struggle with mindlessly web surfing and getting stuck in analysis paralysis. However I've found some ways to cut back on information overload so I can be more productive.
Here are five basic tips to help resist content consumption and make progress with your goals.
1. Get more selective about the content you consume. I had read Tim Ferriss' Four Hour Work Week when it first came out and one of his tips was to cultivate selective ignorance. Basically stay away from sources that are not important, actionable or relevant to your immediate goals. He also uses the analogy of consuming content to eating foods with non-nutritional value. People excessive in their data consumption often get info from the wrong sources and get distracted from their goals.
2. Prioritize selected content you intend to act on right away. For information you can use right away for an immediate project, prioritize the top vetted 3-5 sources. And for each hour that you consume the "right" content, you should spend about an hour implementing what you read right away so you don't get stuck in information overload and take no action. Think of it this way, how can you learn to swim in the ocean if you're always staying on the shore? One of these days you'll have to get in the water.
3. Done is better than perfect. This is one of the mottos that Facebook lived by when Mark Zuckerberg started his company. Others include "Move fast, break things." The same could be applied when moving towards your goals. You don't have to hit everything out of the ball park. Just doing a little at a time in the right direction is enough. Also don't wait for all the stars to line up or all your ducks to stand in a row because that will never happen. Just move forward.
4. Commit your goals to a time slot on your calendar. Whether you work on something for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour or two hours, make sure it's on your calendar and you're personally committed to getting the important stuff done. If it helps, use a timer and work through your action items without any distraction.
5. Prioritize creation over consumption. This is a tip I got from Marie Forleo's Marie TV. She discusses the Creation to Consumption ratio in which not only should you strive to create more than consume but be sure you create or commit to your goals before you consume content. Also make sure you create during peak hours and consume content only during downtime like when you're waiting in line at the store, or commuting on the subway or bus.

There have been negative reviews of the GE Cafe range, but the majority of reviews have been positive. One negative review on Amazon.com for the gas range mentioned a slight gas leak in the product's design.
The GE Cafe range has consistently been rated between three and four stars on Amazon.com. The most frequent negative reviews mention an unpleasantly loud noise from the cooling fan, the smell of gas from a leak in the burner, and a bad customer service experience in dealing with GE. On The Home Depot website, customers complained more about the dimensions of the product being misleading, along with uneven heating.

Bigamy cloud over marriage sealed with Facebook status update
Facebook update helps Jharkhand police solved two 'abduction' cases while throwing up bigamy charges against BJP's Kanke MLA Ramchandra Baitha's son Chandan after he posted photographs with his newly-wed wife.india Updated: Aug 07, 2014 07:25 IST
Marriages, they say, are made in heaven. And the union sealed on Facebook.
But a "status update" on the popular networking site has only thrown up a bigger dilemma for Jharkhand police though it solved two "abduction" cases for them.
BJP MLA Ramchandra Baitha's son Chandan changed his Facebook profile status to "married" and also posted photographs with his newly-wed wife, the same girl he and his father were accused of abducting on July 29.
Police investigations revealed that the Facebook update was made on August 1, two days before the girl's father lodged the abduction complaint against the Kanke MLA and his son on August 3.
The same night, the MLA had also lodged a counter-complaint against the girl's father Shiv Kumar Mahto and six others, accusing them of kidnapping his son.
After the couple made their marital status public, the MLA merely said, "What's wrong in it if they got married."
The father of the girl – a college student - refused to comment.
Kanke police station officer in-charge Saryu Anand said that they would have to "follow procedure" and take the cases to their logical conclusion.
"We will produce the girl in court for her statement. She will also be sent for medical examination," Anand added.
However, the bigger problem for the police comes from the fact that the MLA's son is a much married man, having tied the knot twice earlier and allegedly separating from his two wives without formally divorcing any one of them.
Chandan allegedly deserted his first wife within a week of marriage and the second wife after a few years. He has two children from his second marriage.
Police said that Chandan and the third wife had earlier eloped two months ago but were brought back by their respective families.
Then, too, "missing" complaints were lodged by both the families but the love-struck couple managed to flee from home and elope once again, police said.
Ranchi civil court advocate Vidyut Chaurasia said Chandan could land in legal trouble on charges of bigamy and adultery.
"If he has not divorced his first wife, his subsequent marriages will be declared null and void," Chaurasia said, adding, "his first wife can lodge a complaint of adultery against her husband and the girl."
Ranchi superintendent of police (rural) SK Jha said they were seized of the complications in the case.
"We are looking into the matter. Once we complete our investigation appropriate action will be taken," he added.

Today, International Women's Day, sees a unifying call for women across the globe to join together to address the critical issues and challenges faced by women the world over.
For the first time, Southbank Centre's WOW – Women of the World festival links up women and girls across the UK and internationally with WOW London (7-12 March), the first WOW Hull (10-12 March) and the first WOW Finland (10-12 March), alongside a reception at Buckingham Palace hosted by WOW President The Duchess of Cornwall, who has supported the festival since its launch in 2010.
Global movement WOW – Women of the World unites thousands of women and girls of all ages with artists, scientists, sportswomen, politicians, business leaders, activists, community leaders and refugees from all corners of the globe to share and explore experiences, achievements, fears and opportunities for the future, and create innovative solutions to life's challenges. International WOW festivals now reach nearly two million people in twenty cities across five continents, and are growing year on year.
Southbank Centre's WOW – Women of the World London festival, supported by Bloomberg, returns for its seventh year (7-12 March) with a call to action for women and girls to identify their one solution to making the world a fairer place for women and girls. An emphasis on activism throughout the festival includes a Young Women's rally hosted by broadcaster and author Gemma Cairney and featuring speakers including leading activist Amal Azzudin on Saturday 11 March, and an interactive 'Action Station' where public can make their pledge for women and girls.
This year:
WOW President, The Duchess of Cornwall, hosts a reception at Buckingham Palace where details are announced for the first three-day WOW festival celebrating women across the Commonwealth, to coincide with the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games as part of the broader GC2018 arts and cultural program.
First WOW Hull launches on Friday 10 March as part of Hull UK City of Culture 2017
First WOW Finland launches on Friday 10 March at Tampere Hall
International Women's Day at WOW London focuses on education and sees 300 secondary school girls consider what makes them unique in a day of talks, workshops and performances exploring the theme "I Am Perfect as Me" as well as how to present their identity online safely.
Southbank Centre Artistic Director and WOW founder Jude Kelly CBE said: "WOW is a unique global movement at a time of ferocious change. Women's stories of triumph, tragedy, progress or setback are a crucial source of knowledge and by connecting women's voices, from Kathmandu to Karachi, Baltimore to Bradford, we can make new solutions together. WOW festivals make that possible with nearly two million girls, women, boys and men taking part.
"As women's progress accelerates globally we are seeing backlash and resistance surfacing,with basic rights under threat and a frightening increase in violence against women. In using all our creativity to support each other, we can find the courage to move beyond our own circles and learn how other women face challenges different from our own. WOW celebrates and learns from diversity of all kinds - and welcomes everyone to be part of this global movement for change."
Leading voices appearing at WOW London include Adwoa Aboah, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Gillian Anderson, Amal Azzudin, Jo Brand, Lydia X. Z.

A packed programme of over 200 events includes enlightening talks and debates, performances, workshops, comedy, live music, networking, the smash-hit WOW Speed Mentoring, the under-10s feminist corner and WOW Market – a range of stalls providing information, raising awareness, and showcasing craft and fashion.

If I type "godwar" that's what I'm looking for, not "God of War". This is really starting to annoy me as I now have to go through the extra steps of quoting and punctuating my searches, which is not the most comfortable procedure on a smartphone.
I get that many users are a bit slack in the cognitive department, but punishing everyone else like this is taking a page from Microsoft: "Let's hide the fine tuning options in an obscure dark recess behind an arcane sigil so the little corporate secretary darlings don't get a coronary."
So, how do I stop Google interpreting and auto-correcting my search results?
Sorry Folks - I like the auto-correction. It fixes my spelling errors - and helps me when I'm not sure of the punctuation or word breaks - like: "ThunderMug" ?? Two words ? Hyphenated ? Google usually get's it right and if I don't like what's shown, they give me a link to actually search on what I actually typed. ... It's great ...
there is a setting on google that you can do that. i think you have to sign in
Google does not allow you to do this. You have to bear it as all of us. Nothing can be done about it as long as google itself changes it's mind.
Yeah, it certainly looks that way. Thanks. I'll set this as resolved.
use "-" switch to remove all unwanted results. For example, if you only want godwar but not "god of war", then use this search term: godwar -"god of war"
That's even worse than just "godwar". The aim is to avoid having to punctuate at all, which is how it used to be.
Although I have seen this being an issue for some people in a few other forums I haven't been able to find an answer or duplicate the issue. Have you tried disabling instant predictions? That option is available in the settings page.
Yup, that only affects the drop-down suggestions unfortunately.
Does this happen on your pc or only on your phone? If only on your phone what browser are you using?
everywhere, even on 'sterile' browsers i use for testing.
After searching several times on different forums including google groups I have seen a lot of outrage regarding this and a lot of people are even re-considering using google as their primary search engine. I am sure I would have found an answer by now if it was possible to disable this "feature" but I bet google will be evaluating this due to all the user backlash. I will comment back if I find out anything else and would appreciate it if you would as well if you find a resolution.
That I will do, thanks Drew. It is a real pest that is annoying on the desktop but is crippling on mobile. It wasn't always like this, I don't know when the switch was made but it reminds me of the phrase, 'dumbing down', which is most often used to describe PC games co-developed for consoles.


text: My brother in law broke my glass a couple of days ago so I've been looking for a replacement. I'm very particular when it comes to drinking glass. I know some people just don't care but that's one of my things, a fine looking glass. That's why this brand new collection from Kyla Francis brought me to my attention. I love fashion, can't get enough of black gowns and I certainly need a new drinking glass! Perfect, right? But of course I don't want to keep this find to myself, I like to share it with you. This stylish and adorable glass can be used from drinking your morning milk to evening cocktails. Isn't it just sweet? US$15.99.

There's nothing ho-hum about the characters, the world in which they live, or the premise of this book. Of the three books in the series to date, I enjoyed Vision in Silver the most. Here, you see how the progressive social project initiated by the Courtyard has long-reaching effects on humans ("a two-legged kudzu") and others (Named's creations) alike, and encounter the first results of the conflicts between them when it goes very wrong elsewhere.
I cannot say that there's another series in the urban fantasy genre that's remotely like this one. That, in a genre that sometimes borders on — dare I say it? — dull, trite and cliché, owing to everyone and her third cousin dipping a toe into the supernatural pool, is a rare treat.
Some scenes stood out and made me a bit teary-eyed. It happens, but not as often as it should. I became downright sniffly as I read scenes where human children and young Terra Indigene (earth natives that are the equivalent of supernatural shape shifters) interact… absolutely adorable.
I want to play with wolf puppies now.
Other notable moments: "Words can be a weapon as devastating as a gun"
— this quote from the book applies to a number of situations in the book, a few of which made me a little angry. As for scenes that made my heart ache, the struggles of the relocated cassandra sangue endure qualify. To give further details would spoil a truly entertaining and engaging read.
I'll tell you this: I enjoyed this series so much, I introduced my 70-year old mother to it. She enjoys it so much, she ordered her own shelf copies of the books, and has shared them with her friends. They loved them.

* The climate in Arizona varies from desert to subarctic, depending on your location. Northern Arizona is high in the mountains and snow is no stranger. Average temperatures range from highs in the low 40s to lows in the teens during winter. Be sure to bring warm clothes for this part of the trip.
Tucson and Phoenix, by contrast, have winter temperatures ranging from highs in the mid-60s to lows in the low 40s and upper 30s. You'll want a variety of clothing, as well as sun screen and a hat if you go walking.
There are several desert walks in various state and national parks that are well worth the time. But be prudent: Rattlesnakes, scorpions, and the occasional Gila monster lizard can all be encountered. Wear a good pair of boots and pay attention to where you step.
There are long stretches of beautiful scenery unspoiled by human habitation or business strips, but this also means you may be quite a way from the nearest drinking fountain. So take along a cooler with some water, juice boxes, or soft drinks to quench your thirst.

Quick Tips For Job Seekers
Career Fair Success Strategies
Understanding Interviewing Strategies
Making Networking Work for You in Your Career Search
Career Fair Success Strategies
Preparing for career fairs
- Review the list of employers who will be attending. (See Employer Book link for the fair you are attending.)
- Research represented organizations you're interested in.
- Prepare a "one-minute commercial" and practice introducing yourself. Demonstrate your knowledge of the organization, express your interest in them and state what you have to offer.
- Develop a list of questions you would like to ask employers. Don't ask questions that are obviously answered on their website.
- Bring plenty of résumés printed on quality paper.
- Dress professionally. Recruiters should see you as a potential professional, not as a casually dressed student.
Communicating with recruiters
- Prioritize employers you want to meet, but be open-minded about meeting others.
- Do not wander around aimlessly, and do not walk around with your friends. You want an opportunity to talk to recruiters one-on-one whenever possible.
- Introduce yourself with a smile, firm handshake and good eye contact. Be enthusiastic.
- Ask the questions that are most important and relevant to you as you consider a particular company and employment opportunity.
- Be proactive by affirming your interest in the company and connecting your background, skills and interests to the employer's needs. Your interpersonal skills, both verbal and nonverbal, are critical.
- Offer your résumé to the recruiter.
- Ask for the recruiter's business card and company information.
Follow up after the fair
- As soon as possible, write a short letter to recruiters you meet, thanking them for the introduction to their company.
- Use their business cards to ensure that you have the proper spelling and titles.
- Ask additional questions, reiterate your interest and provide details as to why you would be an asset to their organization.
Reasons to attend career fairs
- One of the first steps toward achieving your career goals.
- Efficient and effective way for employers and students to connect and discuss career opportunities.
- Explore careers and gather information about a variety of fields.
- Opportunity to polish interviewing skills.
- Expand networking contacts.
Understanding Interviewing Strategies
How your interview is structured will depend on the job requirements, the organization's philosophy, the work environment and the interviewer's personality. The following are some of the most widely used interview techniques.
Question and answer
This has been widely used in the past and is the most common interview technique. Basically, an employer asks similar questions of each candidate and subsequently compares and distinguishes the candidates from one another.
The behavioral interview is gaining popularity with many employers. This approach to interviewing is based on the premise that past behavior is a likely predictor of future behavior. During behavioral interviews, each question will probe more deeply to reveal how you approached past situations and the results of your efforts. A typical line of questioning in this interview type might be: "Tell me about a time when you had to use your communication skills to influence someone's decision. What challenges did you face? How did you gain support? What happened next? What results did you achieve?"
The best response to behavioral questions is to use the "STAR" technique to demonstrate your behavior.
- S = Situation – Use a story technique to make a brief statement about the situation.
- T = Task – Explain the tasks to be accomplished.
- A = Actions – Explain the actions you took.
- R = Results – Detail the outcomes of your initiatives.
Case approach
Employers use the case method to pose a problem relevant to their business. In this method, the candidate is asked to propose logical steps to address a situation. The case approach is used to assess your organizational, analytical and problem-solving approach in unfamiliar situations.
Making Networking Work for You in Your Career Search
What is networking?
Networking is the art of connecting with others. There are several variations of networking:
- Affinity/trade/business networking: There is a common connection between people, such as sharing similar interests or belonging to the same industry and trade organizations. Contact can be face-to-face as well as electronic (email, chat rooms, internet groups).
- E-networking: Internet groups, also referred to as social networking, such as Facebook or LinkedIn. Some of these sites are more common for career networking, such as LinkedIn. Use common sense when you post anything on the internet. Always consider whether you would want a potential employer to see it.
- Social networking: Churches, neighborhoods, clubs, those you come into contact with as you go about interacting with people in your daily life.
Why networking is essential to your career search
While it's estimated that 80+ percent of job vacancies are advertised, in this age of automation, it is difficult to be recognized by applicant-tracking systems (ATSs) for specific opportunities. According to a U.S. News & World Report article, referrals (from employees, employee alumni, vendors, etc.) make up 27 percent of all hires. Those referrals are made through networking. Studies show networking is the most effective way to get a job. When those you network with are aware of your intentions, they can share that information with others. This is how you find out about positions that may soon be open. To effectively utilize networking opportunities, you have to let others know you are interested in exploring career options and what your capabilities are.
Ways to Network
- Join and participate in campus organizations. College provides one of the best networking sources that you'll find. You're mingling among the brightest and the best, and that student sitting next to you in class may one day be the owner of a multimillion-dollar company.
- Attend professional or trade association meetings.
- Talk to your friends' or classmates' parents or your parents' friends.
- Visit with members of your social clubs or religious groups or when volunteering.
- Engage in an exchange of information online with others (e-networking). There are many sites devoted to business networking. Professional associations, alumni organizations, message boards and other online communities are all places that you should visit with e-networking in mind. Recruiters consistently visit these sites to look for job candidates.
The opportunities are endless. Everywhere you go, everyone you talk to, there is potential for meeting someone who may be a link to your future career. So network wisely.
LinkedIn for students
LinkedIn is already established as the go-to social network tool for working professionals. Additional resources have been created for college students. But first, review these LinkedIn How-To resources.
LinkedIn Students is a new app designed specifically for college students who want to get a head start on exploring their potential career options.

Through the LinkedIn Students app, you'll be presented with five new daily insights based on your school and major to help facilitate your post-graduate success.
You can swipe left to page through your daily insights:
- Discover jobs and roles that may be a good match for you

All the graphs are interactive; just click on the bars to drill down to the specific careers most interesting to you.
LinkedIn Groups provide a place for professionals in the same industry or with similar interests to share content, find answers, post and view jobs, make business contacts, and establish themselves as industry experts. Learn more about finding groups here. Consider joining ONU groups:
- Polar Careers at Ohio Northern University
- Ohio Northern University Alumni

- Phi Kappa Theta – Ohio Zeta Chapter, Ohio Northern University
- Ohio Northern University Public Relations Alumni (open to students)
- Ohio Northern University Health Care Business Professionals
- Follow company pages too, including Ohio Northern University

Skills Inventory
There are certain skills and traits that most employers seek in potential candidates. Is your college experience providing you with the skills inventory employers are seeking? Review the following examples and see how many are true for you. Think about how you can add to your skill set by participating in campus organizations, class projects and volunteer work. Ascertain how your experiences are developing these skill sets. During interviews, you will be able to demonstrate how you used these skills and traits in these experiences.
Communication skills
When I receive an email or phone message regarding a project I'm working on, I reply promptly. When having a conversation, I listen to what the other person is saying, rather than thinking about what I want to say.
I can be trusted with confidential information. I am very careful to track all transactions when having access to money for an organization.
I get involved in organizing and managing meetings or activities for organizations to which I belong. I typically am willing to take the lead on group projects and utilize persuasion skills to guide people.
I effectively use a daily planner. I practice time-management skills and can prioritize and handle multiple deadlines.
I set goals for myself and work hard to achieve them. When I have a task to accomplish, I prioritize my workload to make sure I complete the task on time.
I take an active role on teams I'm involved on and contribute to make sure goals are met. I am open to my teammates' ideas and opinions.
Thinking skills
I consider the consequences, positively and negatively, when making decisions. If I question the accuracy of something important that someone says, I check out the facts before making a decision.

What Color Not to Wear-Clothing Style TipsNov.22, 2009
As we promised to continue Not to Wear article circle, you are now reading What Color Not to Wear tips.
In this article we are going to talk about fall-winter 2009-2010 fashion colors and give you some fashion clothing tips, touching fashion color choice in you clothing, depending on the effect you want to produce on people, or your own goals.
Plain chocolate or black is again fall-winter 2009-2010 season favorite. And it is quite true not for clothing only, but also for make up tendencies -winter 2009-2010.
Black color
Without saying makes fashion ladies slimmer but brings foul mood emotions as considered to be a mourning color.
Versace, Badgley Mischka, Thakoon
Eggplant and currant
are fall-winter 2009-2010 high fashion colors. Those colors clothing can help you to reach your aim, as it makes the opponent loose his will. Eggplant and currant are both cold colors, so suits winter-type fashion ladies with dark hair and pale skin. But if your skin tinge is olive or close, beware puting on this color not to look ill.
Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, Sonia Rykiel
Tracy Reese, Tracy Reese, Sophie Theallet
Strawberry and raspberry color
is a bit annoying, drawing attention, and makes you and others exited. So be careful with this aggressive fashion color. But if your aim is to win the audience– it is the best color for this. Raspberry color makes you thinner, but warm tinges of Strawberry are dangerous for dumplings.
Prada, Zac Posen, Ossie Clark
Blue Curacao color
is excellent for blue- and green-eyes fashion ladies. This color is cold but despite of that it could make you as wide as the sea with Curacao island. So be very attentive and chose tight silhouette for your Blue Curacao color coats or dresses. This color is a good antidepressant, calms the nerves and brings unreal illusions. So if you are going to cut a dash – put on Blue Curacao color tunic.
Tracy Reese, Versace
– fashion ladies color, is considered to be noble, created for meetings and business office work. Dark tinge of the color, moving to black, is a good choice for large waist women. But again, test you skin color, it is better to be rose-blush.
YSL, Donna Karan, Kenzo
Mocha, coffee and oatmeal cookies colors
are perfect for tinies' diet. These colors are warm, suits fall-type fashion ladies the most, but which are thin enough, cause the colors bring some enlarge effect. It is also a formal clothing color; brings a common sense when you need to take a right decision. If you are depending on others' opinion, we advise you to wear coffee color business suit at the important meetings.
Donna Karan, Andrew Gn, Sophie Theallet,
Matthew Ames, Zac Posen
Orange color
has a cheerful emotional influence on your soul. It brings you up to life when you are down, having typical fall depression. Orange is a color of joy, happiness. It perfectly suits sunburned skin fashion ladies. So if your skin is pail choose orange skirt, or pants, not blouse and sweater.
Ossie Clark, Ossie Clark
Yellow and mustard colors
have the similar influence on your mood as Orange color has. And it is not surprising, cause yellow is a part of orange (orange color is red and yellow mix). This colors clothing makes you think optimistic. And again it is better to wear yellow color clothes when you are dark-skinned.
Marc Jacobs, Thakoon, Thakoon
Courgettes and cucumbers colors
– calm you down when you are nervous. These colors suit brown-haired women with green or whiskey eyes. But again be attentive with the skin color: it is better to refrain the color if your skin has some pale-green tinge.
Isaac Mizrahi, Jonathan Saunders, Elise Overland, Marc Jacobs

Cancer shouldn't keep kids from becoming the next pop star. For pediatric patients at the Texas Children's Cancer Center in Houston, treatment is the ticket to writing and recording a song at an on-site recording studio.

Cancer shouldn't keep kids from becoming the next pop star. For pediatric patients at the Texas Children's Cancer Center in Houston, treatment is the ticket to writing and recording a song at an on-site recording studio.
Cancer patients who receive stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) for the treatment of metastatic brain tumors have more than twice the risk of developing learning and memory problems than those treated with SRS alone, according to new research from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.

Young People with Cancer gives you information on all stages of your child's illness. It tells you what to expect and suggests ways to prepare for different situations.

More than half of patients with chronic leukemia who don't respond to other drugs improved within 24 weeks on a new drug, which may be widely available by the end of the year.
Link: Work
Increasing numbers of children who beat cancer may have trouble transitioning to the work force, with some 5.6% of survivors never having been employed, almost five times the rate of their siblings, according to a recent study. "We were surprised at the magnitude of the difference," says Debra Friedman, an author of the study.
Link: Cancer
When Ryan Whetter was 9 years old, he survived a malignant brain tumor thanks to radiation, but the treatment halted his physical development. About two-thirds of survivors experience a "late effect," which can include delayed puberty, organ damage and learning disabilities, doctors say.
Link: Cell Phones
Young cancer patients are effectively using cell phones to help monitor and manage the often agonizing side effects of home chemotherapy, a new study reports. Teens and young adults are given phones that enable them to detail and then forward their symptoms to doctors, with the most serious ones trigging an alert at the hospital.
Link: Cancer
Some 270,000 people who have survived childhood cancer may face increased risk of breast cancer, heart problems, infertility, depression and other health problems for the rest of their lives due to the effects of chemotherapy and radiation. "It really hits home when you see a young adult who comes in with congestive heart failure because of their radiation exposure," says pediatric oncologist Jacqueline Casillas.
Link: Treatment
Metastatic lung cancer patients who were screened for epidermal growth factor receptor mutations and given Iressa -- an EGFR inhibitor -- showed tumor shrinkage and median progression-free survival of about nine months, according to a clinical trial funded by AstraZeneca. A cancer researcher not involved with the study said the findings are "a giant step forward" for personalized cancer treatment, which aims "to take a molecular fingerprint of someone's tumor and assign treatment based on molecular defects."

Jolene Harvey has a small voice and, at 4 feet 8, a small body. Although she has a medical assistant's degree, her employment record is spotty—it's mostly brief stints as a nanny—and right now she doesn't have a job. Her test scores and report cards have never been great, and today, at 35, she says, she "doesn't pick up a book unless it's a romance novel." She is not, in other words, the stuff of employers' dreams: a go-getter with a highly polished résumé. Neither is Kurt Zuhone, who is 24 and currently living on his dad's corn and soybean farm in rural Illinois. An aspiring record producer and recent college graduate, he sent out applications for entry-level jobs two months ago but hasn't heard back about any of them. When he finally does get an interview, he says, he expects to be asked about "things I've struggled with." He has a long list of those. He's bad at taking notes, and since the age of 9, teachers have been telling him he "isn't quick enough."

By Sonny Melencio
MANILA — Temic (Telefunken Microelectronics Incorporated) is a company with around 3500 workers, mostly women, in the microchips industry. The Temic plant in Taguig, Metro Manila, accounts for 80% of German investment in the Philippines.
The workers at Temic went on strike on September 14, 1995, over unfair labour practices and deadlocked negotiations for a collective bargaining agreement. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) issued a return to work order on October 27, 1995, for all workers (except those facing criminal charges — 98 union officers). But the company accepted only 800 workers, and around 1500 were in effect sacked.
The union contested the case of the 98 officers, and the lower court eventually junked the charges against them.
There were already a total of five return-to-work orders from DOLE but the management still would not let the workers in. The latest order, dated November 21, 1996, was a final and executory one, which instructed the sheriff's office to request the assistance of Taguig police if necessary in order to implement the "actual and physical reinstatement" of the 1500 workers.
The Temic Employees Union is under the Free Federation of Workers, headed by Johnny Tan, who is a member of the Lakas-NUCD, President Fidel Ramos' party. The workers came into contact with the socialist workers centre, the BMP (Filipino Workers Solidarity), last August, and since then their struggles have been planned together with the BMP.
In December the struggle was capped by two dramatic actions. One was the December 7 "physical reinstatement" by 956 workers, who forced their way inside the company premises and signed the logbook to show that they were willing to work. They stayed there for a full eight hours, but the management asked the security guards to force them out.
The second action was the "takeover" of the DOLE building. The workers encamped at the building housing the office of the DOLE secretary for 11 days, starting from December 20. They forced their way in while the DOLE staff were having a Christmas party.
Four hundred Temic workers were locked in by security guards after the party, since there were other Temic workers starting to gather outside the building. The air-conditioning system was shut off, telephone lines cut and drinking fountains muddied to force the workers from the building.
Food was passed through the windows by BMP and other workers who staged a vigil outside the building. The workers spent their Christmas inside.
On December 31, at around 12:30 am, a truckload of police encircled the building. A SWAT team forced its way in from the first floor, where the workers were sleeping. They were dragged from the first floor and shoved out of the building; many were injured.
The union president, Liza Dimaano, was grabbed by the throat as police tried to push her out. A 10-year old girl was pulled violently from the embrace of her mother (a Temic worker). A 12-year old boy was dragged down, causing mild shock according to the doctor who attended him later.
The workers were brought to the police headquarters but were released after five hours. They tried to return to DOLE, but were blocked by a phalanx of police and a fire truck.
The next day, a union leader, Danny Madaray, was abducted by gun-wielding men in civilian clothes. He was pushed into a jeep, where he was blindfolded and his diary taken from him. He was told to lie low in his union work; otherwise his entire family and relatives would be killed. He was released after an hour's ride, still blindfolded.
On January 3 and 4, the workers held a vigil near the Malacanang palace. The union officers went to the palace to seek an audience with President Ramos, but were given a letter explaining that the president was busy with more important matters.
The media reported the next day that Ramos referred to the DOLE "takeover" as an act of sedition, and the Temic workers as "terrorists".
The workers then went from one institution to another to press their case for implementation of the DOLE orders. They went to Cardinal Jaime Sin, the archbishop of Manila, who acted on their request by writing a letter to President Ramos.
The workers visited former president Cory Aquino's place, where they got an assurance from Aquino's aide that she would follow up the case. They held a big picket in front of the German embassy and sent a letter to the ambassador asking for support. They also visited the International Labour Organisation's office, where they asked the director to exert pressure on Telefunken.
On January 23, there was a 10,000-strong rally for Temic workers at Mendiola. Barbed wire and road barricades were set up at Mendiola bridge, but the workers just stepped on the wires and overturned the barricades in order to get closer to the palace. They wore T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan, "We win or we die!".
A week later, on January 30, there was another rally of 10,000 in front of the Temic plant.
Solidarity is urgently needed. Messages of support should be sent to: Temic workers c/o BMP, Unit F, 2nd Floor, 921 Aurora Boulevard, cnr Pottsdam St, QC, Metro Manila, Philippines. Phone/fax: 632 437 5604; 632 433 5176. e-mail: email@example.com. Protest messages should be sent to: President Fidel Ramos, Malacanang Palace, Philippines.

The problems have been pointed out numerous times, as they should be. But it comes time that we find out solutions. I am blessed to live in a state that has solutions popping up in numerous places. We don't need more career politicians. We don't need more people who disregard the Constitution. We don't need politicians. We need people who will represent the people, who will read and understand the Constitution, who will read and understand the bills before they vote, who will do extensive research, and who will listen when the American people speak.
The Constitution is the Supreme Law of this land. It should be held to the highest regard in this country and should never be disregarded. The politicians in DC have done that. I have thought through what should be done with the up coming elections. If we should keep the ones that are somewhat good and just get rid of the bad ones or if we should dump them all out and make it a fair game. My opinion is simple, dump them all out. Let the current politicians fight their way back to office. If they are good, they should have no issues, but if they're bad then they'll be gone.
Obviously I will never tell anyone how they should decide what to do in an election or anything in their lives. I only offer my opinion and in the end, it's up to you. We need people who will listen to We The People. Who will not forget that they were once among us and not to let power and greed go to their head. We need people who will not see their position as a job but as an honor. It is an honor to serve this country in this country in any position as George Washington put it.
We also need to stay awake. We can't elect these people who represent us and then go back to sleep. They may be good people, but we have to keep watch and hold their feet to the fire. We've sent good men to DC and seen them change into people who no longer care for us or the Constitution. We have to continue to do what we are doing right now. We must continue to protest and petition. To call and voice our opinions and continue to show we will be here forever. We have to teach our children to do the same. To question with boldness and to keep their freedom and liberty near and dear. If they let them go, they may never get them back.
We have to point out the wrong things and push for them to be made right. We must hold true to our principles and the Constitution. If we don't, then we're right back to square one with the progressives. We have to teach the founders and the founding documents. We can't allow the teachers and the "experts" to teach us, we must teach ourselves. We must do all of these things and lastly hold true to the ideals and beliefs our founders had. Without those, we would not be America. Without those "DON'T TREAD ON ME" would have never been said.

The top scorer at the UEFA under-21 Championship in 2007 has not met the heavy heights predicted for him.
Maceo Rigters was in 2007 nog topscorer op het EK -21. Nu voetbalt-ie in de derde klasse C. pic.twitter.com/o3zguMdrDC— Kees (@keesleurink) January 13, 2015
When the Netherlands under-21 side won the UEFA under-21 European Championship on home soil several of their star players were expected to go on and do big things.
In reality, none of them ever truly amounted to much. While the likes of Branislav Ivanovic and Aleksandr Kolarov from the Serbia team they beat in the final went on to have excellent careers, the Dutch players failed to reach such heights.
The likes of Hedwiges Maduro, Ryan Babel and Royston Drenthe all got their big moves. But none made them count and their careers have now slid into obscurity.
As for the top-scorer at the tournament, the same can be said about him.
That player was of course Maceo Rigters. The striker scored four goals at the competition and was signed afterwards by Blackburn Rovers.
But Rigters never truly came good at Blackburn. He failed to score a single goal in his three year spell at the club, during which he spent time on loan at Willem II, Norwich City and Barnsley.
Upon his release from Blackburn he joined Australian side Gold Coast United, but was released in 2012 and his whereabouts now, was fairly unknown.
To be fair to him he simply had a good summer back in 2007 and at Blackburn he never looked up to the task.
Now a photo has emerged of him, courtesy of photojournalist Jeroen de Kock from Het Amsterdamsche Voetbal, in action at amateur level in Dutch football. It is also fair to say he is no longer in the best of shape.
The picture has been confirmed by Algemeen Dagblad as the former Blackburn flop in action for his current team, Amsterdam ZSGOWMS - who play in the eighth tier of Dutch football.
And he certainly doesn't look like he is on the verge of a professional comeback.

I recently had occasion to want to educate myself about some lesser known holidays. When I asked my friend 'Google' about them I found that there are way more weird, unusual, odd, unique, and bizarre 'holidays' then there truly need to be.
For instance, tomorrow (April 4th), is 'Tell a Lie Day'. Now I don't know about how you live, but I actually try to avoid telling lies. I like truth and honesty and integrity. I believe in keeping promises made come hell or high water. And now, here it is, a day that seems to be mocking my belief system.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not preaching any holier-than-thou stuff at you. In fact, I don't go around hurting people's feelings just so I can say that I always tell the truth. However, I do attempt to err on the side of polite and have learned to say such things as "It has a very unique flavor," or "Do I like your new haircut? Tell me, do you like it?"
I've also used completely ridiculous lies. "What's for dinner?" "Tonight we are having a lovely selection of rocks and sticks. If I have the time I'll see if I can whip up a little mud pie for dessert."
I don't know about you, but I feel that if you cannot tell something this ridiculous is actually untrue, perhaps you deserve to be served yard waste for dinner *shrug*.
However, tomorrow is Tell a Lie Day. Tell a lie day. The day that you can go around feeling justified saying whatever erroneous thing you feel like saying.
"No, that dress isn't too tight, I'm sure you haven't gained any weight at all."
"That paper was written beautifully. I don't know why you got an 'F'."
"I didn't buy anything at the mall. I was window shopping."
"What happened to the last piece of cake? I have no idea."
"This is the best lima bean pudding I've ever had."
Weeeeelllll, alright, you got me. Technically that last one wouldn't be a lie since I've never had lima bean pudding. By default it would have to be the best lima bean pudding I've ever had. Also the worst.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't believe we should have a 'tell a lie day'. But if you simply must participate, try to keep your lies creative, friendly, and relatively unhurtful. Don't go out and commit infidelities and then use the day as an excuse to cover it up. Don't lie about how the car got totaled. Try to be a good (lover, daughter, bestie, son, cousin, or friend). Don't come up with a lie about why you missed something scheduled – a phone call, an appointment, a special day – whatever. Unless the lie involves an elephant, three bowling balls and a package of Necco wafers.
You should definitely tell that one. No lie.

I couldn't agree more - midlife is fabulous! Can't wait to see what you come up with for your midlife letters during the a to z challenge. (PS - This is my second year too.) Weekends In MaineReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Karen - I love your theme and I'm really looking forward to connecting with lots of new people and reading some interesting blogs - hope to visit you all through April!Delete
Sounds like some wonderful musings for April. I don't think I'm in midlife anymore, but I guess we never know where the middle is until we get to the end. I guess I could live to past 120 years, but I kind of doubt it.ReplyDelete
Have a great April Challenge!

I really fancy the idea...I have from now till April to make up my mind...ReplyDeleteReplies
Go for it! It's a big commitment to make it through to the end, but really satisfying if you do. The secret is to keep your posts short and sweet :)Delete
Looking forward to reading your posts Leanne. Good for you in giving A-Z another go this year. Midlife is fabulous that is for sure!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Sue - it's a shame we're not doing it together this year, but I know you'll be supporting me and that's really important to me xDelete

Thanks for the encouragement Denyse - and btw you still seem like a midlifer to me :)Delete
That's a good theme! I didn't participate last year but I did the two years before. I found the days I hadn't scheduled posts the hardest. I need to schedule my posts this year as I'm away for the last 10 days of April! Good luck with the challenge! :DReplyDelete
Sanch @ Sanch WritesReplies
It's so good to see that you're diving back in again Sanch - especially with all your other commitments - looking forward to sharing the Challenge with you.Delete
Good luck with it! I'd love to do it but I know I'd be one of those that fall by the wayside...!ReplyDeleteReplies
I know what you mean, but I'm a sticker-outer Kirsty - by the end of it last year I was sure I'd never do it to myself again, but here we go down the rabbit hole for another challenge and I must admit I'm quite looking forward to it now.Delete
A unique theme - I look forward to revisiting :) good Luck!ReplyDeleteReplies
Looking forward to read more on this. As I'm getting older every year, I feel this is the need of the hour :PReplyDelete
All the best!
Hi Geetika - this is such a fun time of meeting new people. I've already popped over to your blog and I'm looking forward to your daily nuances in April :)Delete
Great theme, looking forward to stopping by and seeing what you choose for the letters :)ReplyDelete
I'm the same with yours Debbie - it's great to be doing this for another year (although I never thought I'd see myself type those words!)Delete
Super timely for me. I need to look at when I have a slot it on my editorial calendar – – OK that made me giggle I used to be so organized – – but I may join you. I'm also sharing this around!!ReplyDeleteReplies
It would be amazing to see what you came up with for the challenge Carla. You probably don't have the space to commit to all of April - but I'll be keeping my eyes peeled just in case!Delete
Sounds like an interesting topic. I don't think I'm doing the challenge this year, but I'll be back to follow.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm sorry you're not leaping into the challenge again Kimberley but so glad you're going to stop by to keep up with my daily endeavours :)Delete

saved this and will definitely be returning back... mainly because I am gonna need lots of help from you to convince me midlife really is awesome :DReplyDeleteReplies
It's all about the attitude Roshan - you have to get through midlife and you might as well enjoy it - before you hit old age and all those aches and pains descend!Delete
sounds awesome..for you..I have enough trouble doing one a week..good luck, look forward to reading them...ReplyDeleteReplies
It's pretty full on Renee but I thought I'd have another stab at it - it's killing me already and hasn't even officially started!Delete
Glad you're up for the challenge, and I'm looking forward to your posts.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much Deb - I hope you have fun reading them and take away a bit of sunshine :)Delete
Oh gosh, I could NOT do that. Twenty six blogs sounds like torture by the end. But I have faith in your abilities! Especially since you've done it before and you've got an interesting theme. Looking forward to it!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much :) I am a little daunted but not defeated by the Challenge. I've made a start so that I'm well ahead by the time April rolls around (otherwise I'd drown!)Delete
Oh yeah! I look forward to reading your posts! I have another friend who kicked off today with a Music Theme! Awww... going to be lost of greatness! Good luck!ReplyDelete
Bren @ A Splash of CrayReplies
It's going to be a fun ride Bren and I really hope the Midlife Women will hang in there with me through it all. Thanks so much for your support xxDelete
I like to think I am in mid-life rather than over-the-hill. What a great theme! I look forward to your posts, good luck with the challenge!ReplyDeleteReplies
Stick with me cresting the hill Trudy - I'm not planning on being over the hill until I absolutely have to! I hope my posts inspire you and give you a smile for the day :)Delete
Hello... Debbie sent me your way, Leanne... I have looked at some of your previous posts, this afternoon. I seriously love lists, and five is a great number for those. I tip my hat to you and the others who will be taking part in this challenge. I could never pull it off. It is all I can do to post four or five blogs a year.ReplyDelete
Best Wishes, MykeReplies
Hi Myke and thanks so much for popping over - I may not be your speed, but I hope you find something interesting to read if you come back again for some more midlife inspiration. I need all the support I can get to pull off the 26 posts!Delete
I am no longer in midlife range, but I loved it and I am anxious to see what you love about it.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing at Over The Moon Party. Hope you come back next week so I can stop by again. I hope you will also share at Wonderful Wednesday and Thursday Favorite Things this week.
Hi Bev - I figure Midlife lasts as long as you want it to - you just hang out at the crest of the hill with me and we'll enjoy the view. Hope you have some fun with the posts I'm going to be doing for the Challenge :)Delete
Since I always wonder where does midlife start, I think I will stay tuned to your blog to know more. Great theme. All the best for the challenge. Cheers :-)ReplyDelete
Hi Shalz - I think Midlife officially starts around 50, but you can always start preparing early so you're ready for the ride! I refuse to think like a middle aged woman in a twin set, I'm going to rock Midlife and want others to join in the fun :)Delete
This feels like serendipity. Glad to find you via the challenge! I am 64, retiring in 6 weeks, an artist who will have MUCH more time to putz in the studio. Love your blog, posts, & attitude. Excited to follow along in April.ReplyDelete
My Reveal & blog
Nice to meet you! Linda GReplies
I love the connections that come with the A to Z Challenge Linda - so nice to meet you and I'll be following along with your lessons on creativity to see if I can up my artistic game!Delete
Hi LeanneReplyDelete
My wolf is still in the den, and the thought of him ever growing up and leaving freaks me out!! So I figure I follow you throuout the month of April and I'll be ready for when it hits me?
Those little wolves are gone before you know it Tamara, so enjoy having the den, but it is definitely worth gradually preparing for it to be empty - there is nothing worse than a sad midlife woman with nothing to replace those grown and flown children! I'll also be reading your A-Z to get my fitness level up a little!Delete
This is going to be fabulous :)ReplyDelete
I participated in 2014 and doing it again this year. Excited to read your posts and follow you in April A-Z.Replies
I popped over to your blog Aditi and can't wait to see what you're going to do with the A-Z. I'll be back again in April to follow along. Thanks for visiting and for your encouraging comment xDelete
I'm 41... is that midlife? Maybe I will decide after reading your posts...ReplyDelete
My theme is going to be postcards I have got, as my blog is about all postal things.
Eva - Mail AdventuresReplies
Midlife starts whenever you're ready for it Eva - and there's no harm in being prepared - so hopefully you'll get a glimpse into how fantastic it is and be ready to leap in when you feel you've reached the magic age :)Delete
Sounds like fun. I hope to stop by some in April to see what you're posting.ReplyDelete
You can find my AtoZ challenge posting at heathercwright.wordpress.comReplies
I'm looking forward to reading your A to Z posts too Heather - it's always lovely meeting new bloggers and reading different slants on the A to Z themes.Delete
I'm not yet midlife by contemporary standards, though I'm a bit past what was considered midlife in the past. My love Dante starts The Divine Comedy with the words "Midway life's journey," referring to his being 35 at the time.ReplyDelete
This'll be my sixth year participating, my fourth with two blogs. I research and write all my posts well in advance, so I'm prepared when April starts.
Secondary revealReplies
Sorry, there was supposed to also be a hyperlink to my main blog reveal.Delete
I suppose 70 would have been quite old in Dante's time Carrie-Anne. I don't think you quite qualify for Midlife status in the 21st Century - but it doesn't hurt to be prepared (I wish someone had told me how fabulous it was going to be!)Delete
Definitely looking forward to your posts. I would say I am currently in mid-life, but am also in the throes of parenting a young child (my own, came along rather late), so sometimes life can be a bit overwhelming for this lady. I'm writing this month about parenting my kiddo. Hope to see you throughout the month.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm so pleased you stopped by Siouxsie and I always admire Midlifers who are still parenting - it must be absolutely exhausting at times! Hopefully you'll find some positivity and encouragement from my A to Z posts xDelete
As I completely forget to link to my blog.ReplyDelete
Have completely forgotten how to post that as a link, but will search around on Mr. Google and discover it soon.
What a great topic! I only decided today to link up once more with the challenge. Totally agree with your comment about it being a challenge! Last time I wrote on "Out of Africa" and what a lot of research I had to do! This time I'm going with Build a Better Blog!ReplyDelete
Oh and like Siouxsie, I also forgot to link to my blog! My theme reveal is at https://shirleycorder.com/blogging-introduction/ReplyDelete
I love it when you leave a comment and I reply to them all.
If you'd like to have a conversation, feel free to email me any time - firstname.lastname@example.com

Upcoming Exams: January/February 2018
Please see below for timetables of the upcoming external January exams, exams for Year 10 in January, and the mock exams for Year 13 in January/February:
Chocolate Gift for Refugees
click image above for larger view
Big thanks to everyone who donated to the collection. The response was huge – two enormous cardboard boxes full – and was gratefully received by West End Refugee Service. They couldn't believe the amount of chocolate that had been donated by our school. A worker at the project reiterated that for some of their clients, it will be the only present they receive this Christmas. The clothing collection prior to the chocolate collection was yet again massive and wouldn't fit into the store. Thanks once again for making a difference.
QEHS Human Rights Group
Exam Re-sits
Any student wishing to take re-sit exams in Summer 2018 should download the relevant form below, complete and return (with payment) to the Exams Office no later than 12 noon on 5 December 2017.
Spare forms are also available from outside the Exams Office.
Please call into the Exams Office at break/lunchtime to check re-sit fee information.
Non-Uniform Day: Friday 17 November 2017
Friday 17 November 2017 will be a non-uniform day in support of two charities – Children in Need and Movember.
QEHS has been supporting Children in Need by selling Pudsey Bear and Blush Bear pin badges. Students are able to buy a pin badge for £1 from the LRC, Reception, Hydro Office, Sixth Form Café or Pastoral Office. Donations can be handed in at the above collection points too. We will ask for a minimum £1 donation from students in order to wear non-uniform however they do not need to do this if they have already purchased one of the limited edition pin badges.
Several teachers are sporting fledgling moustaches to raise money for Movember and donation buckets are available in the same areas around the school.
We continue to feel great pride in the QE students due to their charitable nature and endeavours and we are sure that Friday will be a very enjoyable day.
Year 10 Textiles Project
Currently on display in the Hydro Building is the recent work of the Year 10 Textiles students. The Art Department are extremely impressed with their budding fashion designers, in particular the teamwork that made the group project such a success.

It looks like Sony's Google TV-equipped Blu-ray player will be getting some serious gaming skills. VentureBeat has spotted a reference to OnLive within the player's specs.
LG has already announced its Google TV sets will come running OnLive, but Sony has made no announcement concerning its set-top boxes or Blu-ray players as yet. We might well have just pipped them to the post on that one.
The device in question is the 3D Blu-ray player version of the Sony NSZ-GS7 set-top box we reviewed recently. It's not due until October sometime, costing £300, though it'll ship next month in the US. According to the specs, the OnLive gaming controller and universal series bus dongle will come as optional accessories.
This means the box will turn your TV into a games portal, streaming titles without you having to shell out on the consoles themselves (and cluttering your lounge while you're at it). Of course it'll enable you to surf online from the big screen, and run Blu-rays too, making it a very competent box of tricks.
It is a bit of an odd move though. You'd think Sony would want you to play PlayStation games and nothing else through a Sony box, but then if it wants to stay competitive it needs to set its pride aside. Either that or it should pull its finger out and come up with a better online games offering.
OnLive's rival Gakai, meanwhile, has announced a similar deal with Samsung, to provide cloud-based gaming on the Korean company's TVs. Sony could well have seen that and panicked that it had no equivalent offering.
Are you excited about Google TV? Or do you think the Nexus Q renders the whole idea pointless? Would you choose a Sony box or an LG TV if you were going to get involved with Google TV? Let me know your comments below, or on our Facebook page.

I'm 5'9", so for most of my life I've been considered tall. But I wasn't always on the top of the growth chart. I still distinctly remember being the shortest girl in my first grade class. It bothered me so much that I used to walk on my tiptoes to seem taller.
I'm pretty sure I wasn't fooling anyone.
For moms, it can be easy to get obsessed with growth charts and to think that bigger is better. But just like adults, kids come come in all sizes, and there is always going to be someone rocking the fifth percentile.
Moms who have a little one who is, well, a little one, have an interesting perspective. Some of them find their kids' size makes them extra fierce or scrappy. Others wish people would keep their comments on their kids' size to themselves! Read on for the frustrating, funny, and sometimes sweet experiences of kids who are small but mighty.
