Many of your students are at that critical juncture in their college experience when these topics are highly relevant:
Career Services is available upon request to give classroom presentations on these topics and more and to make students aware of the services available to them.
We are also available to present to students in the ACS Freshman Seminar and Champs/Life Skills program to assist students with major and career choice.
Contact us to request a presentation.
Work Study is a form of federal financial aid, which comes with many regulations for its use. Only students who have shown a demonstrated need for this form of assistance and have completed all paperwork before beginning employment are eligible for Federal Work Study. Students who have received this form of aid are given preference in hiring decisions as long as paperwork is filled out correctly and completely.
Some departments have a budget to hire students who do not qualify for work study. The hiring process is the same, but the search for students is not restricted to only those who qualify for work study. If you are unsure if non-work-study funds are available, please check with your administrator.
Proper Forms: First complete an On-Campus Student Employment Job Description form and return it to the Career Services Office. In compliance with New York State fair labor practices laws, Career Services posts all on-campus jobs on its Handshake website. Departments with large student worker needs can create their own accounts and post their hiring needs directly to Handshake. If you are interested in this option, please contact us.
Timing: Most student job openings and placements occur at the beginning of the academic year. Career Services plans an annual Part-time Jobs Fair for the Sunday prior to the first day of classes. Fall openings should be posted one month before the first day of classes. For spring semester, list openings immediately after the New Year. Nazareth also employs students in the summer. Summer student job openings should be posted with Career Services during April to give students a reasonable opportunity to apply for them. Please note, you may not hire a graduating senior for summer student employment unless that student is beginning a graduate program at the College or is still attending classes. At any time during the year when an opening occurs, Career Services welcomes new listings and will bring them to the attention of students continuing their search for part-time employment.
Interviewing Students: Potential student workers have been instructed to attend the Jobs Fair in the fall and to check for job listings on Handshake each semester.
Reference Checks: Many of our student workers handle sensitive information, are responsible for collecting fees, and may be responsible for other activities requiring honesty, maturity and integrity. It makes sense to check the references for such critical student workers before giving them this responsibility. Supervisors should also feel free to contact the Vice President for Enrollment and Student Experience to determine if a student has a disciplinary record.
Some students are confused about Work Study because it is listed as a form of financial aid. They may not realize that they will receive a paycheck, have taxes deducted from it, and have to fill out time cards and payroll forms accordingly. Further, they may not understand that like all other jobs, this one comes with expectations that must be met for continued employment. You should explain as clearly as possible what the student's responsibilities are, providing a written job description if possible. In addition you should explain any other expectations you have with regard to dress, telephone etiquette, office behavior, reporting to work on time, etc.
Attendance/Studying While at Work: No student may work during scheduled classes. Needing to study for an exam or to write a paper are not acceptable excuses for missing work. It is recommended that students not work more than 12-15 hours per week to help maintain this balance. Some supervisors allow students to study while at work, when all other responsibilities have been met. This is an individual supervisor's decision.
Terminating a Student Worker who is not fulfilling his/her job responsibilities. It is vitally important that you make your expectations of student workers clear at the beginning of the school year and point out any deficiencies right away. It is advisable that you document such a discussion with a student in writing, keeping a copy for your records. If job performance does not improve, the student may be advised that his/her services are no longer needed by your office and he/she can be directed to Career Services to look for any open positions. You should inform the Payroll Office that this student no longer works for you and then list your job opening with Career Services using the on-campus student employment job description form.
Terminating a student worker is a serious business, but a supervisor should not be expected to continue to employ a student who is tardy, insubordinate, unqualified, or who simply does not show up to work his/her scheduled hours. In this litigious day and age, however, a paper trail documenting the behaviors in question would go a long way toward insuring that every effort was made to give a student the opportunity to succeed. Putting together a written job description that can be shared with student workers at the beginning of their employment is advisable. Remember that employment under Federal Work Study is not just a campus job but is part of a student's financial aid package.
Along similar lines, the end of the school year is an excellent time to review your student workers' performance. Should you decide that a student has not performed well enough to be retained for the following year, you should set up a meeting with the student and advise him/her of the need to seek other employment for the fall. It would be wise to document this discussion by following up with a letter to the student with a copy retained for your files.
When departmental budget requests are completed each January, requests are made for a number of hours of student labor for the coming fiscal year. These hours may be requested as Federal Work Study or Regular Campus Employment (not subsidized). Note that no FWS subsidy is available in summer, so any hours needed to support your department in the summer months must be requested as regular campus employment. For the academic year, your department may request all FWS subsidized hours or a combination of FWS and regular campus employment. Typically, regular campus employment hours are requested when a specific skill set is needed that is so unusual that the hiring department needs to be able to hire any student available with those skills (for example computer skills or foreign language skills). In most cases, Federal Work Study hours should be requested so that the college can take advantage of the subsidy and the students with the greatest financial need will be hired.
You should keep track of how quickly your student worker hours are being depleted to avoid overspending your budget. No student wants to be laid off in the middle of the spring semester because the department he/she is working for has depleted its budget. By the same token, circumstances arise when the number of hours budgeted is insufficient. Alert your supervisors when you realize this is so and by how much you may overspend your allotted hours. Your department director should contact the Controller to advise of the impending shortfall. In such a circumstance, it may be wise to increase your departmental budget request for work study during the next budget cycle.
Students Running Out of Work Study Hours: Students approved for Federal Work Study may only earn a certain amount through the program. At the beginning of the school year, such students are given a yellow card with an average number of hours per week they may work. This number is an average, assuming the student works 15 weeks in each semester. During some weeks, it's OK for students to work more than the stated amount, if they work less in other weeks. A student who skips working in the fall semester may work twice as many hours in the spring semester without going over the stated total amount. Many students have more than one work study job and fail to keep track of their hours adequately. For this reason, financial aid tracks student progress toward the maximum amount and will notify students that they are running low on hours in the spring semester. When a student uses his/her full allotment of work study hours, the student can either stop working or, if your department has regular campus employment money available, be converted to regular campus employment for the remainder of the school year.
Approving Student Time Cards Via NazNet: Every two weeks, your student workers will submit their hours for your approval via the college NazNet system. You must review their hours and approve or reject them in a timely fashion, no later than noon on Monday of pay week, in order for students to be paid. Please be sure to check that students have actually worked the hours that they claim. Honest mistakes can occur in recording these hours, but a student who deliberately reports hours they did not work should be terminated from work study employment. If you suspect that a student has deliberately falsified his/her hours, please contact the office of safety and security so that a report can be filed and an investigation conducted if warranted. Students who deliberately falsify their hours may be prevented from working on-campus.
The payroll office has provided below the detailed procedures for approving student timecards via NazNet.
Should a student in your department forget to enter their hours on the appropriate timecard in NazNet by the deadline for that pay period, please DO NOT allow them to add those hours to the next payroll's NazNet timecard. The college is required to maintain accurate records of the actual dates and times students work. In such an instance, have your student worker complete a paper timecard (available in the Payroll Office) after they verify that the hours in question were never entered on NazNet. Any students who are unsure if their hours were reported correctly can check the "Time History" link in their NazNet account.
Student Paychecks: All students are encouraged to have their checks direct-deposited into their own accounts. Students who don't use direct deposit ordinarily pick up their checks at the Student Payroll Office in Smyth Hall. The Financial Services Office will cash student checks up to $50 and there is an ATM on-campus in the Shults Center for students to withdraw direct deposited funds from their accounts.
End of spring: Talk with your returning workers to see if they are interested in working for you next year. If so, request a copy of their class schedule for fall scheduling purposes.
Early July: Call your returning workers to be sure they still plan to work for you. If FWS eligibility is in question, confirm with the Financial Aid Office.
Mid-summer: Determine your student employment needs for the year and provide Career Services with a listing of openings indicating time slots available, using the On-Campus Student Employment Job Description Form. Note whether Federal Work Study is required. (Note: Departments with large student worker needs can create their own accounts and post their hiring needs directly to Handshake. If you are interested in this option, please contact Career Services).
Late August: Plan to attend the On-Campus Jobs Fair to recruit new student workers for your office. The fair usually takes place on the Sunday before the first day of classes. Contact Career Services if you have not received an invitation to the fair.
September: First week of classes is prime job-hunting time for new students seeking employment. To recruit them effectively you should do the following:
Note: Students will not be paid until the work authorization form and payroll forms are completed.
Your returning workers should do the following during the first week of classes:
Note: Incomplete paperwork means waiting another two weeks until the next payroll to be paid.
November: Monitor FWS and Campus Employment lines on monthly departmental budget reports to be sure that these budget items are not being consumed at an excessive rate.
December: List anticipated spring semester job openings with the Career Services Office using the On-Campus Student Employment Job Description Form. (Note: Departments with large student worker needs can create their own accounts and post their hiring needs directly to Handshake. If you are interested in this option, please contact Career Services.)
Prepare budget request for student hours for next academic year. If your department requires additional student worker hours, request them and provide appropriate justification.
January: Interview applicants for Spring positions during the first week of classes. Workers continuing from fall semester have no required paperwork. New hires should follow the same hiring procedure as Fall.
February: Monitor FWS and Campus Employment lines on monthly department budget reports closely through end of academic year.
March/April: List summer job openings with the Career Services Office using the On-campus Student Employment form. Please note that all summer job openings must be listed with Career Services for at least four weeks before the end of the spring semester. Doing so will insure that Nazareth students get first priority for summer employment before any other persons are considered. Only regular campus employment is available during summer - no FWS funding.
May: Federal Work Study ends with Saturday of graduation weekend.
June 30: Fiscal year ends. Unspent funds for student employment are NOT carried over to the new year. Overspending on student employment may require written justification.
Summer: Contact Career Services regarding any changed student employment needs. The Office maintains a list of students seeking work.
Direct referral of students to employers violates certain employment laws and college policies. If you are contacted by employers seeking your students, please contact the Director of Career Services for advice.

Documents: Trump Golf Course Damaged Protected Sand Dunes
Documents show that U.S. President Donald Trump's family business has "destroyed the vast majority" of an environmentally sensitive area of sand dunes near its golf course north of Aberdeen in Scotland.
Scottish Natural Heritage, which is responsible for the management and monitoring of sites of special scientific interest, has found that construction of the golf course has "led to direct loss of" as much as 68 hectares (168 acres) of mobile sand dunes protected under Scottish law. The destruction occurred despite a personal commitment by Trump to minimize the damage when Scottish authorities granted permission for the project.
The documents were obtained under a freedom of information request by Bob Ward, the policy director of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics.

May 13, 2011 - The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) announced today a schedule of closures for state wildlife management areas (WMAs) within the Mississippi Alluvial Valley due to flood water impacts.
The site closures or WMA access road closures are being implemented in the interest of public and employee safety and to provide undisturbed refuge for wildlife species seeking high ground as flood waters rise.
Effective today, within Dewey Wills WMA in LaSalle Parish, a portion of Muddy Bayou Road from Saline Bayou, eastward to Nolan Bayou Road, and Sandy Bayou Road southward from Highway 28, has been closed to vehicular traffic.
Effective May 16, the following areas will be completely closed:
- Attakapas Island WMA (St. Martin/St. Mary/Iberia Parishes)
- Grassy Lake WMA (Avoyelles Parish)
- Sherburne WMA (Pointe Coupee/St. Martin/Iberville Parishes)

LONDON, Oct 22 (Reuters) - Britain's dominant pay-TV provider BSkyB has struck a deal with social networking site Twitter to show clips from European Champions League soccer matches to help promote its new contract-free online service.
The clips will be fed through Twitter's promoted Tweets via cross-platform service Grabyo Studio. They will help to drive additional advertising and sponsorship revenues for the social media network ahead of its highly anticipated initial public offering in New York.
One of the aims for BSkyB is to stimulate interest in its new internet service NOW TV which allows viewers to pay for 24-hour access to content, rather than requiring customers to sign up for the full service which had proved more tricky during the economic downturn.
The service is also being used to help BSkyB retain its lead in the pay TV market after former state telecoms company BT spent heavily to establish itself as a new rival.
"We know that lots of people want access to great Sky Sports content but would rather dip in and out rather than having a full subscription," said Gidon Katz, Director of NOW TV.
"Sharing UEFA Champions League clips in real-time on social platforms helps us to highlight the benefits of instant, pay-as-you-go access to Sky Sports via NOW TV," he added.
The deal follows a successful trial which generated over 570,000 clip views in 12 hours and saw more than 6,000 clips being shared across social networks which reached more than 7 million users.
BT launched a new TV service in August showing Premier League soccer free to its existing broadband customers in a bold attempt to hold on to its core subscribers who had been moving to BSkyB.

Walking in their footsteps Part 2: Lucknow to Orange
Lucknow, Frederick's Valley and the Wentworth Mine
I've only just recently found out that my RILEY ancestors lived and worked at the Frederick's Valley, Wentworth Diggings, near Lucknow in the 1860s and 1870s. I found this out from a death certificate I ordered a few months ago of Edward RILEY, the second last child born to Thomas RILEY and Harriet LICET/LYSAGHT who were married in 1841. Based on information on his death certificate, Little Edward was born in February 1864 and died at the age of 5 months in June 1864. This death certificate alerted me to the family's whereabouts in Wentworth Diggings, Frederick's Valley, near Lucknow when Edward was born:
Some of Thomas and Harriet's children also had families in the area around Lucknow in later years. Lucknow was the location recorded on quite a few of the children's birth certificates. Lucknow is just outside of Orange, about 10km on the Sydney side. It's a small town with quite a few of the old Wentworth Gold Mine workings still on show. I'm not sure exactly where Frederick's Valley is in comparison to Lucknow, but it was nearby.
Wellwood, near Orange
In 1866, one of my great-grandmothers, Margaret RILEY (1843-1927) was working at a large home and property near Orange called Wellwood. Her second marriage to Thomas MacCabe, who also lived at Wellwood, in 1866 records her residence as Wellwood. Since they were both working as servants and living at Wellwood at the time, I have assumed that this is probably where they met.
Luckily for me, the Orange Regional Gallery had the original plans of Wellwood from 1842 on display in their foyer.
On the drive towards Orange on the Mitchell Highway, we came across the gates to this property. Although we didn't drive into the property as we hadn't previously contacted the current owners of this private estate, it was very exciting to see the gates and stand in the place where Margaret would have entered the property many times in the early stages of her life. Who knows what type of work she did here? By the time of her second marriage, she had already given birth to two children (who were just a few years old in 1866) and buried her first husband, Henry NEWTON, in 1864.
Quite a few of my ancestors were born, lived, worked and died in Orange. I loved walking around this historic, yet bustling town. It must be stunning in Autumn when the leaves change.
Although I couldn't find her grave during this visit to Orange, I did enjoy walking the streets of this lovely town, imagining what it was like to live here in the late 1800s. My grandfather, Leo NORTHCOTE, trained here as a tailor in the early 1900s, under the supervision of Charlie Curran in Byng Street. Here is a photo of him with his mother around 1905 in Orange.
I was hoping to find the grave of my great-great grandmother, wife of a convict, Harriet RILEY (nee LICET/ LYSAGHT), who died on 12 July 1868 in Orange.
Although I didn't find anyone that I was looking for in the General Cemetery at Orange, the Cemetery Clerk as very helpful and suggested that I follow up with the Orange Family History Group to ask for more assistance in finding the grave of my great-great grandmother, Harriet RILEY (nee LICET/ LYSAGHT) who died on 12 July 1868. I'll just have to keep looking for her.

Your gt gt grandmother may have been buried in the Chinaman's Bend cemetery.ReplyDelete
Thanks Lindsay. I didn't know about this cemetery so thanks for letting me know about it. The next time I am up that way, I'll check it out. Regards, MariaReplyDelete
Hi Maria, I have both Torpy and Hickey on my tree. My Mary Torpy married Thomas Abberton at Goulburn in July 1854. She had arrived from Galway in 1852. Bye LilianReplyDelete
I wonder if there is any connection. Our Torpy lot came from Kilkenny and the Hickeys from Limerick.ReplyDelete

Optimize the Job Title in your Job Description

What's so hard about coming up with effective job titles that coordinate well with the job description in your online job ads?
It's the multiple audiences you must address — seekers, hiring managers, recruitment marketers, search engines and even customers – that complicate the task.
Stakeholders may be tempted to get creative with job title wording in job postings, to indirectly inflate the importance of their own roles, to use buzzwords, or to avoid offending bureaucrats.
Just remember: You post a job on the Web to recruit top candidates, not to indulge the whims of your internal stakeholders.
Here's what to keep in mind as you compose some of the most important prose that your company puts forward.
Address external candidates, not just your company. This is especially true in the job title. Often times people use their own terminology because they're not aware that most external people use different terminology..
So ask incumbents in positions similar to the one you're filling: What terms would you use to search for jobs like this?
Don't be cryptic. Using numbers such as "Accountant Level II" or "Project Manager – Architecture S12-3622" might have a very specific meaning within your organization, but these type of job titles might actually impede your job description results in search.
External candidates won't know whether Level II is the highest, or near the bottom. And the extra verbiage will drag down your job ad's ranking in search results. So leave numbers and codes out of the job title and explain those terms in the body copy, only if they add value in context.
Generic is good. Use the type-ahead feature in a job-search engine to view generic terms that could describe your open position; choose the best fit from among the suggestions.
"If a title shows up with type-ahead, that means it's something that Monster or Google has found people look for," Gladstein advises.
Says Christine Stack, director of senior talent acquisition at media agency MEC North America in New York: "From the recruiting perspective, communications have to be simple. Call the job what it is, what your target audience knows it to be."
It's not wise to be clever with the job title. Dare to be boring. "Everybody tries to reinvent, be more clever and creative, so we make up these ridiculous titles, we post them, and no one responds," says Stack. "If you advertise for a 'connections associate', no one applies because they don't know what it is."
Keep the job title searchable. "'Chief people officer' might sound like a great job title in theory, but will candidates find this position when searching online for VP of HR positions? Most likely not," says Roberta Matuson, president of consulting firm Human Resource Solutions in Northampton, Mass.
"Stick to tried-and-true job titles when looking to attract outside candidates." Give yourself a bit more stylistic leeway in the how to write a job description, but do use conventional language as well, to prime search engines.
Do your recruitment marketing in the description. "Evangelist" is one of those hip title words that has gained currency, yet lacks precision as a search term. So save it for the job description and keep it out of the job title. That ad for an "education technical evangelist" won't draw the way it should.
It's a gift to be simple, but not vague. "When I'm sourcing candidates, if I type in 'digital director,' I get everything under the sun," says Stack. A mortgage lender's ad titled "File Prep" says too little about the role and describes a task rather than an occupation.
Be precise. If you seek to fill an opening for a java developer, don't advertise for a web designer. If the job also includes web-design duties, specify so in the job requirements.
Another example: "Population Management Assistant" could bring a number of diverse functions to mind, but which one is intended?
Be consistent. Search engines will reward your stylistic consistency with high rankings. "Make sure that the job title and location are consistent in the page title, URL and within the body of the description," says Neil Costa, CEO of HireClix, a recruitment marketer in Gloucester, Mass.
Know what you're up against. Some managers will assert their line-of-business interests over all else, even when their insistence on certain job titles may reduce the effectiveness of recruiting.
"Titles are designed to communicate to customers," says John Milliken, a professor of management at the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University. "They're often intentionally vague to allow the professional to cover various situations in the client's eyes."

Subscribe To White House Lifts Moratorium To Screen The Monuments Men Updates
I've already subscribed
Politics are the daily grind at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. But when in comes to award season politics, the White House wanted to play no part, having been accused of altering the Oscar race for movies like Lincoln. The Obama administration iissued a moratorium on East Wing screenings back in November. But that ban was lifted on Monday, when officials announced The Monuments Men would screen for the President on Tuesday evening.
THR reports the cast and crew of the George Clooney-directed docudrama was invited to attend the presidential exhibition of the film. Aside from the prestigious setting, this Monuments Men screening was reportedly intended as a low-key affair with no press in attendance. You know, just Clooney and the Obamas kicking back. Do you think they played basketball?
As the press wasn't invited, we don't know who precisely turned out for this cozy home screening. Clooney is essentially a given, not only because he co-wrote/directed/produced and starred in the film, but also because he and the president have become friends over the course of Clooney's fundraising for Obama's re-election campaign. Other potential attendees include Clooney's Monuments Men co-stars Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, John Goodman, Jean Dujardin, Hugh Bonneville, Bob Balaban and Grant Heslov, who is one of the film's producers and co-writer.
Clooney connection aside, it's easy to understand why The Monuments Men might pique the president's interest. Set in World War II, it centers on the struggles of the war's most unlikely platoon, made up of a motley crew tasked with saving priceless art from the destructive hands of thieving Nazi forces.
The aforementioned moratorium was reportedly put in place so that the White House and the President could not be used as a pawn in the Oscar race. Memorably, the First Lady, Michelle Obama, served as a presenter of Best Picture last year, a move that polarized some Oscar watchers. But the bigger issue came earlier, when Steven Spielberg's Lincoln screened for the president last awards season.
While an average American's renting of an acclaimed movie doesn't mean much in the Oscar race, a screening at the White House became a coveted asset. So the White House was flooded with offers from this year's slate of Oscar contenders. Rather than accepting any or all, the office of the president opted to shut down the screenings until an opportunity arose that couldn't impact the Academy Awards. As The Monuments Men doesn't qualify for the 2014 awards (and likely won't get much notice next Oscar season), this screening is free from that conflict.
Docudramas about American history aren't President Obama's only pop culture love though. We recently learned he's a fan of a string of acclaimed TV dramas, including HBO's True Detective and Game of Thrones, as well as Netflix's House of Cards.

Soundset Letterpress Poster
The Sound Set event is an amazing line up of hip hop happening this Sunday in the Twin Cities, put on by Rhymsayers Entertainment. We just killed this letterpress poster job, 1000 qty 3 color posters in just over a day. This is some fresh geometric pattern and color designed by Adam Garcia - work you should certainly check out further over at The Pressure. And be sure to get a poster if you go to the event. This poster is on 100lb Poptone cover stock from French Paper. It is a 15.5 x 23 size with some big solids going down. With this much ink we have to run the powder spray pretty heavy so the ink doesn't transfer to the backs of each other. That makes the inside of the press look like a powdered doughnut. The powder spray is actually just a corn starch and works well to avoid offsetting ink transfer. Sucks to clean the press afterward though.
We love doing posters, but be aware that the polymer plating for large sizes can be expensive for small runs. Just the plate cost alone will run about $200 per color. That kills the price for a run of 50 posters with polymer. But 500 to 1000 quantity- now we're talking. That spreads the plating cost out over more pieces and makes it more reasonable get on press. Not that we aren't happy to do small runs, but plate cost is what it is regardless of quantity.

Justin Bieber Partied at 21+ Clubs This Week
Tsk tsk. Justin Bieber is breaking more rules. The singer, who is just 19, hit the NYC club scene and partied hard at 21+ events on Wednesday, May 29. Whoa, whoa, whoa. WTF?
TMZ reports that the Biebs rolled deep to not one, not two, but three clubs in Manhattan over the course of a few hours on what's lovingly referred to by the working class as "hump day."
First on the docket was Avenue. Next up? Marquee. Last on the list was 1 Oak. It was a three-fer. The Biebs is no joke when it comes to having a good time.
Both Marquee and Avenue had advertised Wednesday as a 21+ night. So you're wondering how he got into a clubs that had posted age restrictions? Well, TMZ reports that some clubs have licenses that allows minor onto the premises, which could be the case with Marquee and Avenue. It would mean that a law was not broken if they advertised as an over-21 night. As long as he wasn't drinking or smoking pot...
The Biebs can't catch a break. Spitting. Speeding. Accusations of inseminating. Club hopping when underage.
We wondered about his being on a collision course with a meltdown in March. Things seemed to be calming down for a hot minute. Now? Well, trouble may be brewing.

Every year at Halloween, Bayard & Holmes honor one of the unsung heroes of the intelligence community with our Annual Love-A-Spook Day. This year, we recognize British spook Eric Arthur Roberts, an "untalented" bank clerk in the UK who conducted valuable work against Nazi Germany's Gestapo during World War Two. His identity was one of MI-5's tightly guarded secrets until only last week.
Before and during World War Two, Germany had a well-trained professional intelligence service, the Abwehr, which was operated by well-trained German military personnel. Nazi party membership was not required to work in the Abwehr. However, there was a predominance of well-educated personnel in the service, which likely contributed to the organization's lack of enthusiasm for Hitler and the Nazi party.
The Nazi party was aware of the Abwehr's lack of Nazi devotion, so Hitler relied heavily on his secret police organization known as the Gestapo, which was led by Heinrich Himmler. Hitler also counted on the SD, which was the intelligence branch of the Nazi Party's Waffen-SS, a.k.a. the Storm Troopers. Eventually, Himmler took control of the entire German SS, along with the secret police.
Himmler used his secret police authority against his political opponents within the Nazi Party with great success, and he tried to convince Hitler to let him take command of all German intelligence resources. However, it seems that Hitler was well aware of his senior minions' machinations against each other, and he skillfully encouraged it as a way to keep himself safe from any "second-in-command" that might become too powerful.
We now know that the Nazi's distrust of the Abwehr was well founded. After the war ended, as more secret information was slowly released to the public, it became apparent to historians that Admiral Canaris and many of his top deputies in the Abwehr not only lacked enthusiasm for the Nazi party, but they actually actively plotted against it, including involvement in multiple assassination attempts against Hitler.
Based on their lack of trust in the Abwehr, the Gestapo and the SD branch of the SS invested heavily in intelligence operations against the UK and the allies.
While understanding the structure and organization of German intelligence operations must have been an ongoing nightmare for a well-established and tradition-bound organization like MI-5, MI-5 never allowed that to slow them down in their secret war against Axis intelligence operations.
Any study of MI-5's wartime operations leads to various interpretations, depending on the student. One conclusion that would be difficult for any serious student of espionage to miss would be the fact that, while MI-5 was remarkably ineffective in combating Soviet espionage, they were remarkably efficient in dealing with the massive intelligence efforts conducted by the Nazis against Great Britain.
MI-5 could never be certain which German organization was running which intelligence operation against the UK, but they were certain that all German intelligence operations needed to be defeated. On Friday, October 24, 2014 we learned precisely how the Gestapo and SD espionage operations were so successfully defeated.
In large measure, it was due to a bank clerk, or at least he appeared to be a bank clerk.
This particular spook was so successful in maintaining his cover as a bank employee that when the British War Office requested that his bank employers release him from his work for war service, the bank management resisted. They claimed that their employee clearly lacked any special talent that would make him particularly useful for the war effort. They couldn't have been more wrong. The bank's seemingly untalented clerk, Eric Arthur Roberts, was in fact a master spy and had been since before World War Two even started.
Someone in MI-5 leadership understood that countering the German Abwehr would not be enough. They had the foresight to realize that not only would the Nazi SS SD conduct operations against Great Britain, but also that Himmler might use his Gestapo personnel to conduct his own operations against the allies. In an example of excellent judgment, MI-5 selected Eric Roberts to run an operation against the Nazi's.
So how does one bank clerk with nothing more than a suspicion that Germany would recruit more spies in the UK manage to foil the Gestapo? It occurred to our seemingly dull bank clerk that the best way to locate any disloyal, Gestapo-inclined British citizens was to recruit them first.
Roberts set up a system that any pyramid scheme con man would envy.
He posed as an undercover Gestapo agent and recruited the would-be traitors. They thought they were working for the Gestapo. Rather than arrest them, MI-5 trained them and used them to recruit their own networks of "Nazi" spies.
Roberts's operation dried up the pools of Nazi sympathizers and kept them occupied, hindering the Nazi efforts to find real British traitors to work for them. Meanwhile, MI-5 and MI-6 both fed a healthy diet of double agents to the Abwehr, the SS SD, and the Gestapo. These double agents presented the Germans with various case files of imaginary agents, producing tons of delightful and delicious, but usually fake, information. They fed the Germans enough real information to keep them happy, but that real information was just late enough for it to not quite be useful.
Eric Roberts's operations against the Gestapo, along with similar operations by MI-5 and MI-6 against the Abwehr and SS SD, explain why Hitler was so certain that the allied D-Day invasion would land at Calais rather than at Normandy. Hitler held stubbornly to that conviction against the advice of his General Staff and the advice of his Army Headquarters Staff.
After World War Two, Eric Roberts and his family moved to Salt Spring Island in Canada.
There, he pursued a quiet rural life on the Canadian Pacific. Roberts took up writing and, not surprisingly, he was popular with the local inhabitants. Clearly, the man had a great talent for establishing friendships.
Eric Arthur Roberts passed away in 1972 with no recognition for his fantastic work against the Nazis. Like so many intelligence service personnel, he took his secrets to the grave with him. We now know that this seemingly insignificant bank clerk played an important role in defeating the Nazi plague.
Piper and I offer our humble but sincere salute to Eric Arthur Roberts and his cohorts, both known and unknown, on this 5th Annual Love-A-Spook Day.

The US special effects maestro behind 2001: A Space Odyssey and Close Encounters of the Third Kind to receive Locarno's inaugural Vision Award.
Douglas Trumbull is to receive the first Vision Award at the 66th Locarno Film Festival, which runs August 7-17.
The new prize both highlights and pays tribute to someone whose creative work behind the scenes, as well as in their own right, has contributed to opening up new perspectives in film.
Trumbull will hold two masterclasses to talk about his work on Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
The festival will also screen 2001 and Close Encounters as well as Trumbull's own film as director, Silent Running.
Locarno artistic director Carlo Chatrian said: "Filmmaker, inventor, creator of visual effects that have haunted audiences' imaginations and left their mark on some of the milestones in film history; Trumbull is someone who has always been ahead of the pack.
"Wanting to invite him to Locarno to share his long and productive experiences with the audience here led me to the idea of a new award, dedicated to artists who, like him, have succeeded in surprising us with undreamed of images and sounds".
Trumbull recently worked on Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life.
In addition to his work as consultant and special effects supervisor, Trumbull has produced and directed several films, including Silent Running in 1972, Brainstorm in 1983 and a number of shorts.
He has received three Oscar nominations, and won the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Scientific and Engineering Award in 1993 and Gordon E. Sawyer Award in 2012.

Cowgill, who will be 27 in May 2013, obviously fills a need for the Mets: he can play the outfield and bat right-handed becoming the first Met in 2013 who can do both of those things. In a whopping 95 MLB plate appearances, he's hit .298/.379/.405 with five extra-base hits and 11 walks against 23 strikeouts against lefthanded pitching. He's also hit a pathetic .223/.273/.241 in 121 PA against RHP.
His splits are not nearly so dramatic for the last two years in the minors where he hit .281/.330/.536 in 207 PA vs. LHP and .327/.402/.456 in 538 PA vs. RHP. In case you were wondering, in the minors he had a .376 BABIP versus righties and .306 vs. LHP. In the majors, he had a .389 BABIP vs. LHP and a .309 average vs. RHP. Head spinning a little? His high BABIP against righties in the minors disguised a player with a significant platoon split, while his BABIP luck probably exaggerate the extent of his platoon split in the big leagues. That doesn't make sense.
Marte was a frustrating prospect. In the last three years, I had him ranked #12, #31 and #25 last year. He was going to move up a few spots, but remain outside the top 20 this year coming off a .251/.322/.366 season in double-A in the season in which he turned 21 in June. He got off to a crazy start in April, hitting .358/.421/.478 in May, but then did not hit .265 again in any full month in 2012. However, dig a little deeper, however, and Marte's numbers continue to show incremental improvement over his previous campaigns. His 2012 strikeout rate of 14.8 was his lowest in a full-season down from a high of 22.2% back in 2009 in the South Atlantic League, and had dropped every season since. His 1.8% HR rate was his highest ever, up from 1.1% in 2009. His 2012 walk rate of 8.4% was similarly, his best ever and he's been above 7.6% in every season since 2010 in the SAL. That's the good statistically.
He's a strong, thickly built kid. That's neither good nor bad. Strength is good for hitting. Bulk is bad for running and trying to play third base - a position that requires an incredible degree of agility.
And lets talk about Marte's work at third base. It has never been pretty. He committed 49 errors in Savannah in 2009 and 25 in 2010. He was better, although not ready to play major league defense at third. He dropped down to 15 errors in 2012, his lowest number in any full season. He also played a quintet of rough games at first. Note that his range factor (the number of plays he actually made per game) of 2.15 was less than in his two seasons in Savannah. I'm just not sold on the idea of Jefry Marte ever playing an MLB caliber third base. His arm is weak for the position and neither his hands nor feet are anything better ok.
Can the 21-year old Marte's bat continue to develop to the point that he can support a move to first base? Can his defense improve to the point where it's just below average instead of completely unacceptable? These are worthwhile risks for the A's to take. And strong enough questions to allow the Mets to make an improvement to their outfield, especially against LHP in 2013.

Rule 13 is the inverse

What do you mean?
If you mean Class Rep tourney, it's Ichika vs Lingyin and whoever in class 1-3 vs class 1-4 (maybe Kanzashi)
If you mean the Team Tourney, only Ichika + Charl vs Laura + Houki is known, Cecilia and Lingyin is unqualified due to injury.

Not when! I meant which tournament was OFFICIALLY SCHEDULED? For example: The duel between Ichika and Cecilia only happened because they challenged each other, not because it was scheduled. What was the first tournament that was scheduled and what was its name? Is it the inter-class tournament?

No, it's CLASS REP tournament, Ichika vs LingYin (because LingYin use Klingon promotion) is scheduled, and happened in the end of April
Golem interrupted, as you know, thus the second match between Class 1-3 and class 1-4 rep is annulled.

It's not a children's anime. It's a children's show. Making this about a hundred times more mind boggling than anything else.
Seriously, how epic does a villain have to be to make the protagonist his respawn point? Sure it's been done but if you just saw how all 40+ episodes were used to build up to this one moment that made everyone think "oh shit", you'd be fairly impressed as well.

I guess I was comparing IS quality to that show's quality.
Though it does make for an interesting scenario. Madoka is killed... repeatedly in her skirmishes with the cast and by a different member nonetheless. What freaks them out is she keeps coming back. Reason? She actually comes from an IS core Chifuyu test piloted, maybe a core 00 or something. Madoka would be a realized ideal pilot version of Chifuyu. A younger face because it was around that age that Chifuyu test piltoed it. Treats Ichika as a brother because technically that is her role in her data. And freakiest of all is she wants Ichika dead to be herself because the IS at that time thought that Chifuyu could become the ultimate pilot had she not been distracted by this "Ichika" thing.
EDIT: Wait, freakiest part is that said core is embedded in Chifuyu XD
