How to Get Promoted at Work
We are now seeing managers and human resources professionals focusing on people's skills and cultural fit to their organisation instead of considering length of service.
However a promotion just doesn't happen itself. If you are keen to move up the ladder there are a few things you can do to increase your chances.
1. Gain New Knowledge
Undertake further education, even if it is a short course such as project management or a new computer course. You will make yourself a more attractive candidate by increasing your transferable skills.
If you know you are terrible at interviews then seek some interview coaching from a career counsellor.
2. Find a Mentor/Coach
A mentor can provide advice on areas you can improve in and they might be able to direct you towards a relevant course.
Your Mentor can also help you network and create a positive professional image for when a potential promotion arises.
3. Go Above and Beyond
- Be proactive
- Look for opportunities.
It may be volunteering to take on a new project or pitching improvements to a current process. It is important to show how divers your skill set is so don't be afraid to put your hand up to assist other departments in your workplace.
4. Act Professionally
Dress, think and act for the role you would like to be working in. Be very careful of what you place on social media as this can impact on your future promotions.
Ensure you treat everyone in your workplace with respect even if someone isn't your cup of tea.
5. Network, Network, Network
You may have to move outside of your comfort zone and start connecting with a range of people at various levels of the organisation.
Knowing more about the organisation you work for is an advantage. Take the opportunity to speak to colleagues in the tea room, elevator or call by their office for a quick chat.
6. Be Prepared
Don't be caught out. Be prepared for opportunities to arise quickly.
Submitting your resume that is a few years old is not acceptable. You need to make sure your resume is up to date with all your new skills and include current projects you are working on.
Make the time to invest in your future, get your resume prepared.
By putting these actions into place you will have a better chance of being considered for future promotions.

Well I must say that I am beginning to really miss internet service and blogland. I don't come to Crowley often and it's usually only for a doctor's appt. and then back to my home in the country. Things are coming along on the inside but the outside is another long story that has been very stressful for me. In my haste, I forgot my camera, but I had a great day finding a bundle of FireKing dishes for my daughter. She has been sending me vintage embroidered things, but I am sending one of them back because I will never use it. It's a brown checked piece with Sunbonnet Sue on it and she may be able to sell it in her Etsy shop. She is listed as the Urban Eccentric if any of you are interested. I haven't been but am going to check her out today.
I hope everyone is doing well and not having bad luck like us. Dryer went out, frig burned up at the house in the country, then our bedroom window air conditioner went out---all within 3 weeks.
We had a drought for a while, then the rains came as we all wished for and it's been daily downpours---enough already.
There have been many cases of Swine flu here and everyone is so cautious about being around sick people---I for one, don't need it.
I did do a little bit of painting, but that's about as far as crafting has taken me. The room I was supposed to use was supposed to be finished second, but it has taken the back burner for now. It's painted, but we have no money for new carpet and we are storing tools and paint in it to keep the rest of the house orderly. We still have the shop to work on, but it's still filled with garage sale items that we moved from the main house, so it's cluttered again. We didn't realize how much there was and really thought we had gotten a lot sold---NOT! So hopefully we will soon have another and then whatever is left over will go.
Well I want to visit some blog friends and if I miss visiting you, please forgive me---I have so little time and I must shower first so that I am ready for my doctor's appt. this afternoon. Many Blessings to all of you. Love and hugs, Pat

Most HR professionals rate their companies' employee communications as very good to excellent, according to a recent study conducted by IDG Research. Yet less than half of employees surveyed agree. What's causing the communication gap?
The root cause is a diverse workforce, with varied communication preferences and evolving expectations based on their experiences as consumers. Employer communication strategies simply are not keeping up with the times.
Some of the biggest sticking points between employees and employers are ease of access, comprehensiveness, timeliness, and personalization. For example, while 78% of employers described their communications as easy to access, just 39% of employees felt the same.
The result of this communication gap is low HR program adoption, sinking employee satisfaction, lowered performance, and increasing turnover. This trend isn't just inconvenient—it's costly.
The solution: bridging the employee communication gap with digital-age marketing-inspired strategies.
Read our report to see how the latest data from IDG demonstrates the disconnect between HR and employees. More importantly, we'll show you opportunities to fix it.

My First Big Test
It was a bit chillier than I expected, the sun was out but the air was cool. We rode along, passing the Indian Valley Golf Course and then Stafford Lake. I learned how much more beautiful an area can be when you see it from the seat of your bike instead of through your car window. I conquered most of the hills without too much difficulty but there was one that kicked my ass. It started with a short, steep incline (well, steep for me) and just when I got to the top of that a long (only slightly steep) incline started. I was already breathing hard and my legs were burning. I made it about half-way up that long hill when I had to take a break. It took me quite a few moments to catch my breath. Whew! After that I was happy to hear from Miguel that we were done with the hills, until the ride home of course.
We stopped at a cheese factory and took in the surrounds. This really was a dream. Did I just ride here? Wow. After high-fives and big smiles we took a break and I ate a couple Shot Blox (Black Cherry so I could have caffeine). I was wearing my heart rate monitor and noted I'd burned about 700 calories.
After checking the bike computer I realized I miscalculated the distance and unless we changed our route the ride was only going to be about 23 miles, not 30. This was not acceptable. I asked Miguel if we could check out some of the side roads. We road down the road to Marshall for a bit and then toward Petaluma. After getting enough extra miles in we turned and headed home. Miguel is such a good sport.
The ride home was a lot easier than the ride there. We were flying on some of those hills! Our max speed was 35 miles per hour! That freaks me out a little bit. We got home around 12:30 but I know we weren't riding for all that time. The bike computer showed riding time was about 2.5 hours. My body didn't feel too bad. My butt was hurting sometimes during the ride but it felt fine as soon as I got off the bike. I'm going to take quite a few more rides and see if I can toughen it up even more before considering a new seat. So, how far did we ride? Check out the picture I took of the bike computer.
My heart rate monitor showed I burned 1640 calories. Whoa! And I was starving. But those Shot Blox really gave me a boost during the ride. I'll be having those on hand on all future rides for sure. Anyway, I was fantasizing about a hot bath when Miguel asked if we could run some errands before his soccer game (yes, he had a soccer game in the afternoon after our ride!). So we ran some errands and then I went grocery shopping during his game. By the time I sat down for dinner it was 7:30pm and I was really wiped.
Well, that was my big ride. I feel really happy and proud of this accomplishment. During the ride I made my next goal. I want to ride to Point Reyes Station from my house. Maybe even do a loop and come home through San Rafael. I'm going to do today's ride 4-5 more times before I tackle that though. It's just unbelievable what my body has been willing to do. I'm very lucky. So it's off to bed before the work-week. I'm already starting to look forward to next weekend!

I am so loving your life from here

Thank you, my friend
Sounds like an amazing ride.ReplyDelete
Great job on getting back into everything after surgery!
Holy moley, woman! Talk about trail blazer! I'm just now getting caught up on all of my favorite blogs... Looks like everything is going well for you!ReplyDelete
It seems this bike ride is all you needed to feel this energized and happy. In addition to having fun you did a lot to keep your body fit. I am so happy that you have planned another bike ride soon. Everything will turn out great as well. The experience you've shared with us here goes to show how exciting and effective a work out session can get if one has a partner like Miguel who shares same interests. I hope you will bring your sport partner Miguel next time too. I like your story.ReplyDelete

Turner to be tried for 3rd Time?
Trial of shock jock Hal Turner ends in second mistrial
Wednesday, March 10, 2010
BROOKLYN, N.Y. – A federal judge declared a mistrial Wednesday in the retrial of ultra-right wing shock jock and former FBI informant Hal Turner after a jury deadlocked on whether Turner threatened the lives of three federal judges.
U.S. District Judge Donald E. Walter dismissed the panel of seven men and five women after they failed to reach a unanimous verdict on the third day of deliberations in the weeklong trial.
The impasse was an obvious disappointment for Turner, whose previous trial in December on the same charge also ended in a mistrial, with a 9-3 majority in favor of acquittal.
Jurors, citing an instruction from the judge, declined to comment on their deliberations and refused to disclose how they voted.
Walter set a new trial date for April 12 and appointed Peter Kirchheimer, the chief federal public defender in the district, to represent Tuner, who filed for bankruptcy in New Jersey on the eve of trial.
Asked whether the government will prosecute Turner for a third time, Assistant U.S. Attorney William Hogan said prosecutors will review the matter, but added, "I'd say it's highly likely."
Turner's lawyers — Nishay K. Sanan of Chicago and Michael A. Orozco of Newark — who represented him in both trials, said the government should be "embarrassed" because it had called the three judges to testify at the this trial and still couldn't get a conviction.
"It's not the victory we wanted, but it's definitely a victory," Orozco said.
"After two trials he's still not convicted, so that's a win," Sanan said, adding that Turner went head-to-head with three of the nation's top judges.
Turner's mother, Kathy Diamond, 66, said his family was disappointed that Walter didn't dismiss the charges.
"They put on their finest show, judges and all. It's time to say 'uncle' and let everybody get on with their lives," Diamond said.
Turner, 47, of North Bergen, who grew up in Ridgefield Park, built an audience of white supremacists and neo-Nazis with an Internet radio show and blog that featured racist rhetoric and frequent calls for violence against public officials with whom he disagreed.
But while he maintained a public persona as an ultra-right wing shock jock, Turner also worked as a confidential informant for the FBI's counter-terrorism squads, gathering intelligence on the Aryan Nation, the National Alliance, skinheads and white power groups.
In June, FBI agents acting on complaint filed in Chicago arrested Turner on a charge of threatening to murder or assault three judges from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in an incendiary blog post in which he wrote they "deserved to be killed" for upholding a local gun ban.
The judges, who were not called at Turner's first trial, testified last week that they took the threat seriously, though they didn't request additional protection and were never harmed.
Turner testified he was merely exercising his First Amendment right to offer an opinion and that his FBI handlers had coached him on what was protected speech and what was not.
Powerful evidence of that came in the form of FBI documents which showed that after Turner opined that another Chicago judge was "worthy of being killed" in his blog and on national television in 2005, FBI lawyers concluded he was operating within their guidelines.
Turner's lawyers acknowledged that financial reasons played a role in their parting but also said Turner wants a "new set of eyes" on the case.
The judge cautioned Turner to adhere to a gag order imposed as part of his $500,000 bail.
"You must not do anything to get the press further involved in this case," Walter warned. "I do not want to move the case to Juneau."
Walter, a Louisiana-based judge, was assigned to preside over the case after Turner was indicted in Chicago this past summer. He moved the trial to New York so Turner would not have to stand trial in the same building where the three judges work.
Earlier in the afternoon, the jurors sent a note to the judge saying they had taken numerous votes but couldn't break the deadlock.
"Unfortunately, positions have solidified and folks have stated they they will not change their minds no matter how much longer we continue," the jury forewoman wrote.

COINTELPRO is an acronym for a series of FBI counterintelligence programs designed to neutralize political dissidents. Although covert operations have been employed throughout FBI history, the formal COINTELPROs of 1956-1971 were broadly targeted against radical political organizations.
An example of a COINTELPRO agent?
If you recall he's been trolled by certain internet forum-goers in the past, and he attracted such trolling for good reason. He made outrageous statements and claims, such as demanding that a black congresswoman Cynthia McKinney BE LYNCHED.
Why? Because it was mandated by the individuals overseeing the COINTELPRO operation to DEFAME, AND DISCREDIT RIGHT WING REPUBLICANS.
Watch the video, it's been PROVEN that he was working for the FBI ALL ALONG! THIS IS NOT A JOKE! THE U.S GOVERNMENT IS ACTUALLY DOING THIS!
Hal Turner has been at this for a while now, so consider that, this has all been a GAME, a game to run the republican party into the ground starting with Bush, and subsequently by INSTALLING provocative commentators to further discredit the party.
They're doing this ALL OVER, EVEN ON YOUTUBE. KEEP YOUR EYES AND EARS OPEN TO THOSE WHO MAKE OUTRAGEOUS, DEFAMATORY STATEMENTS.

My Complaint to the USDOJ"Dying for Liars"
Are US Troops who are told they are upholding the US Constitution, fighting for Freedom, and making the world a better place, being lied to? Are they lying down their lives and suffering horrifically for lying liars who think nothing of stepping over their corpses?
Click below link for video and link to text of Steven G. Erickson's complaint. Text mailed to the United States Department of Justice, Washington DC. Sent out March 11, 2010:
Should Enfield, Connecticut, US Senator John A. Kissel be arrested and prosecuted for seeing a constituent going to prison just for asking that Judge Jonathan J. Kaplan be removed, exposing Connecticut State Police misconduct? Kissel sent a letter to me in prison. I asked him what he was going to do about me being railroaded to prison for free speech and for redressing grievances to me. His response to me in a letter mailed to me in a Connecticut prison was, "Life is unfair".
Should Connecticut US Senator Chris Dodd be arrested and jailed for selling you out and living like a king at the country's expense?

Wherein Yours Truly Displays Her Ignorance
1. Story of a Soul by St. Therese. Often dismissed for her sentiment, this autobiography of St. Therese is a road map to Heaven and provides a glimpse of one of the Church's holiest families.
2. The Way of Perfection by St. Teresa of Avila. While this was written to assist her nuns keep perfectly through prayer the rule of their order, it's of great use to laity as well. Confession time: I tried, but could not get through Interior Castle. The Way of Perfection is a beautiful guide to prayer written in more simple language. As Teresa of Jesus said as she set out to write this book: "I shall speak of nothing of which I have no experience, either in my own life or in observation of others, or which the Lord has not taught me in prayer."
3. The Royal Way of the Cross by Francois Fenelon. Written by a French archbishop ( of a much longer proper name than I have revealed here) the "book" is actually a series of letters written presumably for the purpose of spiritual direction for those who sought his help with specific problems.
So, Kelly at a Mom for Life, Caroline at the Bell of the Wanderer, Patricia at I Want to See Jesus, Allison at Totus Tuus and Daniel at Through Vocation, you're up.
Now, lest I forget completely, my dear friend Kathy at Moving on to the Past awarded this me last week.
I have to return the favor by awarding same to 15 other bloggers. This will require some thought so stay tuned. Here are the rules, btw, copied from Kathy's blog.
1. Add the award to your blog.
2. Thank the blogger who gave it to you.
3. Mention seven random things about yourself. (see below)
4. List the rules.
5. Award to 15 bloggers.
6. Inform each of those 15 by leaving a comment on their blog.
As you are all well aware, I talk a little too much about myself. So I might add a twist to this. If you're interested, send me a random fact about yourself. I will take seven random revelations and post them and everyone will have to match the fact with the blogger.
Remember, you have to play to win, or something like that.

The Onion dot Com
Phil wastes time at work browsing The Onion - here are his thoughts.
Have you ever wanted to just sit idly for hours and while your precious time away by reading long, arduous droves of shit that has nothing to do with anything? You've certainly stumbled on to a goldmine here.
I even feel guilty as I sit here promoting this steaming pile of utter nonsense. Never since lying lazily on the couch late on Saturday Nights, watching old re-runs of Saturday Night Live have I experienced the painstaiking lethergy that is this website. It is bliss. I could burn holes through my now-crimson eyes into the core of my numned cranium just by browsing an article from this Hell-spawned monstrosity. Of the seven deadly sins, sloth has always been my favourite, so I take much joy in enlightening myself to the boundless resource of crap useless suedo-knowledge that is on this website.
In all the billions of pages that are floating around in cyberspace, and the thousands that you may flip through in the span your life, you try to find resolution to the ever burning questions that the cosmos present. You may just be trying to have fun, but here the object is obviously beyond all of that as counter-productivity seems to be the first order of business.
At first sight of The Onion dot com, I began to feel anxiety, as all the alarm-bells started to fire off in my head. I am so pre-programmed to surf the great world wide web with paranoid mind, impatiently grasping at links, fighting through haystacks of information for the golden needle that is my objective. This tiresome endevour continues to grow more tedious by the day. Now I'd expect to see this site and immediately faint. According to the above methodology, this sites contents provide a value of zero, it offers me absolutely nothing that I can take away and use. But blow me down and wank me balls, I actually really love this piece of cyberspace junk.
Against all natural instinct, I find the news, articles and various other items here most rewarding. I can finally kick back and relax at my computer terminal, and not care a damn about whether what I am reading is exactly what I need to know.
With news releases about local bar skanks announcing their plans to kiss each other, and statistics stating that 85 prcent of US cole slaw is left uneaten, you have to just abondon all desire for a value-rich experience and throw your reservations to the wind.

Eight-Time MLB Gold Glove Outfielder Andre Dawson Named Honorary Chairman; Bill Hutton, Larry Knight Selected as Head Coaches
SAN DIEGO–July 7, 2010 – Today marks the release of the full 38-player roster for the 2010 Aflac All-American Baseball Classic. The nation's top high school baseball players will descend upon San Diego to play in the eighth annual baseball showcase, featuring an East versus West matchup of the nation's top high school players. The 2010 game will be played Aug. 15 at 5 p.m. PDT in PETCO Park, home of the San Diego Padres, and will be nationally televised live on FOX Sports Net.
Andre "The Hawk" Dawson, eight-time MLB Gold Glove outfielder and four-time MLB Silver Slugger, will serve as honorary chairman for the 2010 showcase. Dawson will be inducted into the MLB Baseball Hall of Fame on July 25, 2010.
In addition to helping promote the Aflac All-American Baseball Classic, Dawson will be on-site in San Diego for game week activities, including player practice sessions and the annual awards banquet. This will be Dawson's first time serving as honorary chairman. Past honorary chairmen have included Hall of Famers Ozzie Smith (2007, 2008, 2009), Reggie Jackson (2006), Cal Ripken Jr. (2004, 2005) and Stan Musial (2003).
"I feel honored to have the opportunity to serve as the 2010 honorary chairman," said Dawson. "I look forward to interacting with these young men to pass along the knowledge I gained during my career and help them prepare for a bright and positive future, whether on or off the field."
The Aflac All-American Baseball Classic is more than just a game. It is part of Aflac's ongoing commitment to the fight against childhood cancer, with ticket proceeds benefiting Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego. Since 2003, the Aflac All-American Baseball Classic has generated nearly $805,000 for charity.
"The Aflac All-American Classic gives baseball's stars of tomorrow a national stage to display their immense talent," said Danny Fleishman, vice president of sponsorships and emerging markets at Aflac. "More important, by using the game to raise awareness and funds for local pediatric cancer hospitals, Aflac is allowing these young players to use their talents for meaningful impact off the field as well."
The Aflac All-American players will be led by a stellar coaching staff for the 2010 showcase. Larry Knight of Sumrall High School in Hattiesburg, Miss., will manage the East team. Knight is in his fourth season as head coach at Sumrall and was recently honored as USA Today's 2010 High School Coach of the Year. This year, he led his team to a third consecutive Class 3A State Championship finishing as the No. 1 ranked team with a 35-1 record.
Managing the West squad will be Bill Hutton of Archbishop Mitty High School in San Jose, Calif. Hutton is in his 28th season as head coach at Archibishop Mitty, where his team has secured four West Catholic Athletic League Championship titles and four Central Coast Section Championship titles. His team finished the past season ranked No. 1 in California with a 31-3 record.
Aflac All-American Baseball Classic alumni have had a significant presence in Major League Baseball's first-year player drafts. Since the game's inception in 2003, 80 alumni have been selected in the first round, including four No. 1 overall selections like, Justin Upton (2005, Arizona), Tim Beckham (2008, Tampa) and this year's overall top pick, Bryce Harper (2010, Washington). Fifteen Aflac All-Americans were taken in the first round of the 2010 draft, including the No. 1 and No. 2 overall picks, Harper by the Nationals and Jameson Taillon by Pittsburgh, respectively. San Diego also drafted 2009 Aflac All-Americans Karsten Whitson and A.J. Vanegas.

Retro Den Featured Pick: Hutch with a History/
When Susette and her husband brought this mid-century modern hutch into the shop to sell, they had barely made it in the door when they proclaimed, "This hutch survived a tornado."
I was all ears. It's an exciting occasion (at least in our lives) to learn that a vintage hutch isn't just a pretty face, but has a colorful history too.
The hutch originally belonged to Susette's aunt and rode out the 1979 Red River Valley tornado outbreak in her home. Luckily, Susette's family members came out uninjured and the hutch remained intact although other property was damaged.
They pointed out that the hutch had a scar from the 1979 tornado–a scratch on its top from a flying branch.
Although we sometimes repair or lightly refinish pieces in the shop, this was one scratch we didn't dare touch.
Furniture like this reminds us that we are all a sum of our stories, and sometimes it's the scratches that bring out the best patina in us all.

This is the second article in a series of unconventional destinations in China that we have prepared for you at Basecamp.
In 1939, British writer James Hilton published the book "Lost Horizon", telling of a paradise that is cut off from the rest of the world, located on the Tibetan plain. His novel was an instant success and "Shangri-La" became a household name, a fascinating place that captured the imagination of dreamers and adventurers alike. The Chinese government thought to take advantage of the popularity of the book, and had a town – previously known as Zhongdian -- that is a geographic fit with the imaginary utopia renamed Shangri-La.
Today, Shangri-La retains much of its quaint charm. As a city located in the north of Yun Nan and bordering Tibet, the people living here are Tibetans and they continue their way of life even now, just as they had for the last hundred years. They are a peaceable, friendly, honest bunch, possibly because of their religion – an overwhelming majority practice Tibetan Buddhism (think Dalai Lama and living buddhas). When you greet them, simply say "tah-shi-de-leh" (good luck).
There are some aspects of their culture that might give you a culture shock. Whether you can get past the initial shock and learn to appreciate the cultural difference is up to you. All of them hold on to the practice of sky burial – a procedure that involves defleshing the dead and grinding the bones, after which the meat and bone pieces are placed at a sky burial site for the birds to eat. To us, this may seem unacceptably gruesome, but to the Tibetans living in Shangri-La, this is how they honour their dead – by allowing their spirits to ascend into the heavens together with the birds.
Also, polygamy is still practiced. A man may take several wives. But wait, before you scream that it is the usual patriarchal world order at work, know this: a woman can also have several husbands. This practice is known as polyandry and is very rare nowadays.
Everywhere you go, you will see black dots on green plains. On closer inspection, you will discover that the little black dots are yaks (a.k.a. mao niu, "hairy cows", in Chinese). They are a valuable asset to any Tibetan family as they provide free labour, milk and meat. However, do note that while yaks generally have a gentle temperament, it would still be foolish to chase after them like I did (I only knew afterwards that yaks can kill when enraged). Before you leave, don't forget to have yak steamboat!
Things to do
- Napahai: Go horse-riding and watch yaks from afar
- Sumtsaling Monastery: Follow the tour guide and learn about sky burials and Tibetan Buddhism. To understand, a good grasp of Chinese is required.
- Potatso National Park: It is a beautiful place nearly half the size of Singapore with well conserved biodiversity.
- Dukezong Ancient Town: Eat yak steamboat here! Shop for souvenir; scarves, Chinese medicine and yak jerky are recommended. Dress up in traditional Tibetan garments and take pictures!
- Guishan Park: Spin the golden Tibetan turning wheel. Legend has it that if you can turn the wheel clockwise 3 times, good luck will come to you.
- Tiger Leaping Gorge: One of the deepest river canyons in the world. What can I say? Photos.
Caution: the average altitude stands at 3,160 metres above sea level. This makes you prone to altitude sickness. Personally, I puked and was immobilised in my hotel bed on the first day. Tips to alleviate altitude sickness (which I wish I had heed) include eating altitude sickness medicine days in advance, eating moderately upon reaching Shangri-La and not bathing on the first day.

Created in collaboration with Seth Astle, Erik Berg, & Della Tosin
Role: Concept development, live action shooting, video editing, graphic design, motion design, sound editing, storyboards, animation.
The research process shows how our team used SWOT system to analyze a brand's current disadvantages and advantages compared to its competitors. Other activities included creating an in-depth survey for consumer habits, brand/technology research, and creative problem-solving solutions. The final touch points cross over social media, product design, advertisement, and interactive user experience. We created a video to show as our final presentation that included live action video, compositing, and interactive design.
The concept video shows all the touch points of our rebranding for Quiksilver. By using technology and social media, we made it easier to approach our target consumers and improved Quiksilver's brand recognition.
Photography Is: ______________
The word "photography" was created from the Greek roots φωτός (phōtos), genitive of φῶς (phōs), "light" and γραφή (graphé) "representation by means of lines" or "drawing", together meaning "drawing with light".
This is a combination of Processing, projection, graphic design, motion editing and three-dimensional installation. Inspired by the concept of traditional photography, I created an interactive installation that allows users to interact with their own reflection, and by swing the light source in hand, the imagery slowly changes and make the experience similar as in the dark room of revealing traditional film. According to users' movements, imagery slowly go through dodge and burn process, and all the collaborative quotes "Photography is:" I gathered from people appear.

9th Wonder, has used his skills with the mic and the flow for activism, education and social justice, picking up a Grammy and a professorship at Duke along the way. He returns to his hometown this weekend for the hottest ticket in town, DashPop. Read on….
- DashPop, running through various venues in downtown Winston-Salem, came together through Winton-Salem native and Duke University professor 9th Wonder, who teamed up with students from Wake Forest University to stage this weekend-long inclusive music festival. Highlights include Bare the Traveler, Rapsody, Gully, Bocanegra, Big Remo and a dozen more. See for the full schedule. (W-S)
- The original work from Winston-Salem Festival Ballet brings Peter Rabbit and friends to the Hanesbrands stage on Saturday and Sunday for Tales of Beatrix Potter. (W-S)
- It Follows, playing tonight at A/perture Cinema, seems really, really damn good. It features the familiar horror motifs — sexy teens having sexy times, then getting murdered — but the objectively positive criticism the film's garnered seems to point towards the originality of director David Robert Mitchell's vision and technical virtuosity. (W-S)
- If you're expecting a typical love story from The Duke of Burgundy, screening tonight at Geeksboro, you'll be sorely disappointed. The film tells the story of Cynthia, a student of butterflies and moths, and her dom/sub relationship with her maid/lover, Evelyn. The film pushes their relationship to the limit, but not in a terrible, 50 Shades way. I think the Guardian's Jordan Hoffman put it best when he said the film "is the most tender love story you'll see in which a woman forcefully urinates in her lover's mouth." (GSO)
- Over at the Hanes Mall they're honoring active military with a Stand at Attention contest to see which military vets can hold the pose the longest. It starts at the Dillard's court at 10 a.m. and runs until the last soldier is standing. (W-S)
- Greensboro Roller Derby's season opener at the Greensboro Coliseum pits the Mad Dollies against the Battleground Betties at 5 p.m. (GSO)
- Sorry Mom, a new punk power trio without a substantial web presence, debuts during a full bill at New York Pizza. Dumpster — featuring new drummer Stephanie Elko — teens-and-teacher quartet Stitches, mod-meets-Everly Brothers trio the Broken Parts and time capsules extraordinaire the Raving Knaves share the marquee. The show starts at 9 p.m. (GSO)
- Greensboro's Ed E. Ruger headlines a studded rap revue at Cinder for the Triad Takeover. His company does not include Sturm. Instead, it'll feature Illpo, KiD on Que$t, Rob Misfit, Josh Walker, Jewce, Shad, Cowboy Elad XIII and Phillie Phresh. The show starts at 10 p.m.; audience must be 18 or over. (HP)
- North Carolina Poet Laureate Shelby Stephenson will be on hand at the Cultural Arts Center to discuss his most recent book, 2013's Play My Music Anyway, at 2 p.m. for an Afternoon of Poetry and Tea in this most civilized forum that is free and open to the public. (GSO)

It's easy in Excel. So it should be easy in Tableau right? Well, not quite.
There's a little trickery involved! But we likes that, don't we my precious…
I have 200 unique regions in my dataset so I wanted the chart to show a range from the min to the max. Then I wanted to overlay an average line and a specific, selected region.
I looked everywhere but couldn't find a tutorial detailing how to do this. This excellent post came close, but it doesn't allow multiple lines since you can't have multiple instances of multiple measure values. Then I read this forum post and almost dropped the idea, thinking it was impossible. But a search through the Tableau Zen Masters public galleries led to me to this particular chart from Joe Mako, exactly what I was looking for!
I downloaded it, played around with it and then implemented my own version. The clever part is that it uses a polygon to create the banding.
For future reference, these are the steps I followed:
Multi-line chart with custom range banding in Tableau
1. Setup your data in Excel first.
My dataset consisted of a list of regions, each with a price listed per year, ranging from 2007 to 2015. The data was stacked in a tall table format. The second column, Type, was added so that I can classify "Regions" and "Bands" separately.
At the bottom of the dataset, add additional rows for the banding entries. Leave the Region column blank, tag them as Band Min or Band Max (one of each for each year) and add the min and max values from all the regions for that year, as follows:
To find the minimum value per year excluding the zero's (my dataset had many zero's), use a handy small formula:
where the range D2:D201 contains all the prices for 2007 in my dataset. It'll need adjusting for the other years, 2008, 2009 etc.
Quick aside: In his worksheet, Joe Mako used UNIONs to place all of his data into one table, stacked on top of each other. This feature was introduced in Tableau 9.3. Since I'm still on 9.2 (yes, I know, weekend project to update!) and since I want to focus on Tableau here, not SQL, we'll do this step manually in Excel. Look out for a future post on this.
2. Open Tableau and connect to this Excel file. Select the tab with your data and open a new sheet.
3. Create the following Calculated Fields:
Band Price:
This creates a new measure (column) where all the Region rows are NULL but all of the Band Rows (min and max) have the price recorded.
Region Price:
This does the opposite – it creates a new measure where all the Region rows have their price recorded but all of the Band rows are NULL.
4. Drag Year onto the Rows shelf and Band Price onto the column shelf. Tableau will aggregate Band Price using SUM, which is fine. This gives us a simple line chart, no surprises there.
At the moment, the line represents the sum of the Band Min and Band Max values (e.g. the 2007 value of the line is 716 which is 126 (min) + 590 (max)).
5. Create another new Calculated Field
Polygon order:
IIF([Type]="Band Min",-1,1)*[Year]
What this does is create a new measure where the Band Min rows are labelled with negative year numbers, but the Band Max rows are labelled with a positive year number.
Now drag this measure onto the Marks shelf and change to a dimension and you'll see the points for each year be separated out into min and max, as we want.
Then select Path from the dropdown menu next to the Polygon Order on the Marks Shelf.
The path joins the dots in the correct order because it starts from negative 2015 through to negative 2007, then onto positive 2007 to positive 2015. If I add the Polygon Order field as a label in the Marks shelf and change it to a dimension, then I think it'll make sense:
Now if you want to be really explicit with the order and you can forgive this verbose IF statement, then try this as your Polygon Order field instead:
IF [Type] = "Band Min" AND [Year]=2007 then 9
ELSEIF [Type] = "Band Min" AND [Year]=2008 then 8
ELSEIF [Type] = "Band Min" AND [Year]=2009 then 7
ELSEIF [Type] = "Band Min" AND [Year]=2010 then 6
ELSEIF [Type] = "Band Min" AND [Year]=2011 then 5
ELSEIF [Type] = "Band Min" AND [Year]=2012 then 4
ELSEIF [Type] = "Band Min" AND [Year]=2013 then 3
ELSEIF [Type] = "Band Min" AND [Year]=2014 then 2
ELSEIF [Type] = "Band Min" AND [Year]=2015 then 1
ELSEIF [Type] = "Band Max" AND [Year]=2007 then 10
ELSEIF [Type] = "Band Max" AND [Year]=2008 then 11
ELSEIF [Type] = "Band Max" AND [Year]=2009 then 12
ELSEIF [Type] = "Band Max" AND [Year]=2010 then 13
ELSEIF [Type] = "Band Max" AND [Year]=2011 then 14
ELSEIF [Type] = "Band Max" AND [Year]=2012 then 15
ELSEIF [Type] = "Band Max" AND [Year]=2013 then 16
ELSEIF [Type] = "Band Max" AND [Year]=2014 then 17
ELSEIF [Type] = "Band Max" AND [Year]=2015 then 18
which gives:
Of course, you should change that IF nonsense back to the concise formula:
IIF([Type]="Band Min",-1,1)*[Year]
6. Change the chart from a line to polygon, in the Marks shelf. Then remove the labels and change the color to light grey:
7. Drag the Price measure to the secondary axis. Change from SUM to AVG. Remove the Polygon Order from the Mark pane. Change from polygon to line. Finally right click the secondary axis and synchronize with the first axis. The following GIF shows these steps:
8. Create a new parameter called "Selected Region" with datatype "String" and make it a list of the Region names:
9. Add a new calculated field for showing the region that is selected, as follows:
Show Selected Region Price
IF [Selected Region]=[Region]
THEN [Price]
10. Drag this new calculated measure onto the secondary axis. Your chart should look something like this now (my data had lots of zeros!):
Boom! You're essentially done. There's some tidying left to do and setting up the dashboard with the Region filter but that's it.
11. Tidy up the sheet by hiding the second axis. Adjust the Year axis to run from 2007 to 2015 so that our bands run to the edges of our chart. Rename the other axes, add titles, change colors if you want.
12. Create a new dashboard and add the "Multi-line with bands" sheet.
13. Click the top right arrow of this sheet and add a quick filter for the calculated parameter "Selected Region". This will give you the desired multi-line, dynamic chart with bands.

While negotiating salary is one means of boosting your income, entrepreneur Kat Tretina found an effective way to earn money that's completely in your control: Starting a side hustle. The college graduate says she earns up to $10,000 a year reselling old clothes on eBay and admits it's a surprisingly easy business model to replicate.
"At first, I started very small," she tells Money, flipping $4 jeans for up to $40. "I bought just a few items at a time to sell and had very little in terms of supplies. I mostly relied on free priority shipping envelopes from the post office and printed shipping labels at the library." But after a few months, she realised her hobby could be a sizeable income stream. "Once I had made several hundred dollars from this, I started taking it more seriously and reinvested in my business."
Here's how this eBay super user turned her hobby into a $13,000 side hustle:
1. Rethink shipping methods: When Tretina switched to using vinyl envelopes, she was able to ship used clothing for much less, meaning the bulk of the listing price went straight into her pocket.
2. Choose a niche: If you're looking to start your own eBay store, she recommends choosing a niche category you know well. "I've helped new sellers get started on eBay, and one of the most common problems that come up is when a seller is tempted to sell things outside their niche," she says. "Buying inventory without knowing if it will turn a profit can be a costly mistake."
3. Learn from your competitors: Tretina noticed that other sellers used Photoshop to remove the image background. "I mimicked that approach with a site that does the work for you, and I saw an increase in my selling prices," she says.

New Clearview Backboards
One of the great things about working at Lifetime Products is our people. We have a great group of engineers in our Sporting Goods department. Last fall, we were trying to come up with a way to make our basketball system backboards more like the pro boards. With some late nights and a lot of design work, we were able to come up with our new Clearview backboards. What is Clearview? Well, I am going to tell you. With residential systems it is common in the industry to have a backboard brace behind the square target of your backboard. On these systems we use a clear material called polycarbonate or on the higher end systems tempered-glass to make them look like the pro's. However, the backboard braces were blocking your view through the backboard. We wanted to remove the braces behind the target so there was a clear view more ... More

Psychic predictions are precisely what they seem to be, predictions about the future made by psychics using their ESP abilities such as clairvoyance to interpret signs of the future! Every few months psychics will make predictions about the months or year ahead and these predictions are then watched to see if they come true.
Annual Psychic Predictions
When the current year comes to a close readers should check and see what psychic predictions have been made about the upcoming year. This is a great time to have tarot readings, psychic evaluations, and astrological readings done for yourself so you can see how current predictions will affect your life in the coming year.
Many psychics maintain web pages and websites in which they document their predictions and show their accuracy. This makes it easy to check and see just how accurate they are when they make a prediction and gives you a good gauge of whether or not their new predictions for the coming year are worth looking into. For example, a psychic who made ten predictions about the year 2016 but then was only correct two or three times is perhaps not the best psychic to look at for the year 2017. Instead you'll want to look at a psychic whose predictions for 2016 were more correct, maybe seven or eight correct predictions out of ten. Rarely will a psychic make a list of predictions and get them all right. Remember, psychics aren't reading from a book, they are using their special extra sensory perceptive skills such as clairaudience or clairvoyance to see and hear things that we cannot see and hear. Sometimes these sounds and visions may be cloudy or short, or even confusing mixtures that it's hard to pick apart accurately.
It's important to remember, too, that psychic predictions may not include a spread of predictions for the year, but a psychic may receive only one vision for the whole coming year. While these sorts of visions may seem full of doom and gloom, you must remember that psychic predictions are just a slice of the future, not the whole thing and much can change around those visions and can, in fact, change the very visions themselves.
If you look at psychic predictions, whether for yourself or for the world at large, it is important to remember that the world is not static. None of us are stuck on a track that we cannot change. The future is fluid and dependent on us. If we chose to change it then we can change it. The future should never be a vision of hopelessness because we all, each and every one of us, has the power to change its outcome and make our future better either individually or as citizens of the world!
Look to the Future
No matter how dire the future looks in a psychic prediction, remember that your life is yours to control and that even if the world around you looks as though it is falling apart, you can still grow and improve things in your life!

Al Jazeera International's English news channel has been a "tremendous success" and proved the doubters wrong in its first three weeks since launching, its managing director has claimed.
Nigel Parsons, managing director of Al Jazeera English told ArabianBusiness.com: "We had phenomenal feedback from all sorts of viewers, high-profile politicians such as (the British Prime Minister) Tony Blair as well a large number of regular watchers all complemented us on the programme. Even groups and countries where we expected skepticism or resentment reacted positively to out first screenings."
The channel, which went on air on 15 November, follows in the footsteps of its highly controversial Arabic sister station, which first gained global recognition when it aired its famous video of Al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden after the 9/11 attacks in New York.
The US government heavily condemned the channel for broadcasting such material, and until now the channel has often been criticized for collaborating with so-called terrorist groups. Parsons, however, dismissed those allegations. "We receive tapes via email, not personally. We then air them according to their news-worthiness, and if they support a certain story, regardless of the political direction of their content," he said.
In 2001, the US bombed the station's headquarters in Kabul, Afghanistan. "Until now we haven't received an official statement or apology from the White House about this incident. One government spokesperson dismissed the incident as a joke, but I can't see the humour in this."
"There is a transcript of a taped meeting of Blair and Bush who were talking about this topic, and we have repeatedly requested to have an insight into this, but so far without success."
So far the channel's controversial approach has paid off with the first three weeks of Al Jazeera English hosting former US Secretary of State James Baker, Head of the Iraq Study Group that aims to change the White House's approach in Iraq. It has also featured regular reports from the troubled areas of the Arab world, Africa and Latin America.
"Our main focus is Gaza and the West Bank because unless this conflict is resolved there will never be peace in the Middle East. It's an everyday story, as people there suffer enormously, and after the first ever democratic elections (in Palestine) people suffer even more."
"We also report current affairs from places such as Zimbabwe, Darfur, Brazil and Cuba, according to their news relevance, but we certainly are an Arab channel," he added.
The station's target audience includes Middle East decision makers, second and third generation Arab migrants that live in the West, and 20-35 year-old young professionals who look for an alternative to mainstream news channels.
"Most of these viewers watch us live on the internet, which is especially important in the US and Australia where we are not available through cable TV. We are, however, in talks with various global cable operators to air Al Jazeera English." The English laguage news channel is subsidised by the Qatari government, but is entirely independent in its editorial set up, according to Parsons.
The news channel is popular not only with spectators but also with media professionals — Al Jazeera English received more than 4000 job applications before its launch and another 1000 since going live. "We don't pay a dime more than our competitors, but we have a good team and a strong heritage to build on from the Arabic channel, that's why many industry professionals want to join us. We also tell stories because they are interesting," Parsons added confidently.
Working for Al Jazeera, however, can be dangerous. In September last year, former Al Jazeera journalist Tayssir Alouni was jailed in Madrid for collaborating with a terrorist organisation. Alouni interviewed Osama Bin Laden before the 11 September attacks. He was sentenced to seven years for acting as financial courier to Bin Laden's al-Qaeda network, but has since been released due to lack of evidence.
Sudanese born Sami al-Hajj, an Al Jazeera cameraman, has been incarcerated in the notorious Guantanamo Bay prison since 2001 without trial and has not been released despite massive international pressure.
Parsons refused to comment on the incidents that happened to reporters who worked for the Arabic channel.For all the latest business news from the UAE and Gulf countries, follow us on Twitter and Linkedin, like us on Facebook and subscribe to our YouTube page, which is updated daily.

Indonesian Community
A Brief History
The beginnings of the Indonesian Community of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles (IC-ADLA) began with a group called "Indonesian Catholic Families of America" (KKIA) who were brought together not only by their common culture but also by their love of the Eucharist especially celebrated in Indonesian. John & Mien Hartanto, Dr.Robert & Marietta Tango, Justine and Joseph Goei, Tom & Olly Tan, Edwina and Ronnie Oei, Albert & Cecilia Massie, Sr. Xaviera Pl., The Poppy & Brian, were some of the original founders.
The group's first mass in Indonesian was celebrated on January 1, 1984 by Fr. Wim Van Gaspel who was studying in Spokane, Washington at that time. This was followed by another Eucharistic Celebration on January 27, 1984 at Incarnation Church by Fr. John Dohne, OSC who was vacationing in the area with his family. On February 11, 1984 at another celebration Romo Dohne invited other Indonesians from Orange County. There was a huge turnout of Indonesian Catholics which prompted the formation of a committee headed by John Hartanto on February 19, 1984. On April 22, 1984 the first Easter Celebration was celebrated by the community for the first time in Fullerton.
The mission of KKIA is to foster Catholic faith among its members and to strengthen the cultural bonds with one another as well as to support one another in America.
In 1991 KKIA became "non-profit organization" and was then called KKIA, INC. As the community continued to grow, there was an urgent need to become part of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. On September 17, 2001 KKIA Inc. became the Indonesian Community of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles (IC-ADLA). Thanks to the assistance of Sr. Irma Isip, Director of Asian Pacific Ministry Archdiocese of Los Angeles to our first chaplain Father Linus Tiala. Saint Stephen became the official home of the community. Fr. Larry Estrada who was the pastor at that time was instrumental in our smooth transition to the archdiocese.
The following are the past chaplains of IC-ADLA:
- Fr. Linus Tiala (2001)
- Fr. Yosef Dowa
- Fr. Stephanus Heruyanto (October 2006-l July 2010)
- Fr. Gregory Tulus Sudarto (2010-July 2013)
- Fr. Budi Wardhana (2013-present)
Fr. Budi Wardhana
The Rev. Budi Wardhana is the first Indonesian to become a priest in California, the third in the United States. Fr. Budi came to the United States when he was 23 to earn his MBA in marketing. His plan was to return to Indonesia and start a business. When he was in graduate school, he met a former businessman who was studying theology, hoping to become a priest one day. He found himself drawn to the priesthood but resisted, deciding instead to pursue a career selling Indonesian food online. One year later, he said, "I felt empty in my heart. I felt God was asking me to serve others." So at the age of 27, Budi entered St. John's Seminary.
Fr. Budi knows what it's like to be a recent immigrant, having taken a year to improve his English before he was able to start graduate school. "I can be a bridge between immigrants and the American community," he said. "They have a lot of stress. Everything's different. I can give them advice."

7 December, 2012 – 5 January, 2013
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
- Truc-Anh
- Ha Manh Thang
- Hoang Duong Cam
- Tuan Andrew Nguyen
- Lien Truong
Through surprising depictions of historical and contemporary figures and structures, the works in this exhibition reveal and/or conceal the shifting power, symbolism and representation of these real and fictional icons, touching on ideas of desire, truth and identity.
Heroism involves courage and Truc-Anh explores the innate antagonism within this idea by suggesting that heroes confront reality indirectly, hidden behind a mask. As public figures, icons often times assume a double identity revealing outwardly a fabricated
personality while simultaneously concealing a private one. Truc-Anh's graphite drawing
depicting Batman's lone and fractured mask represents the dual identity of the virtuous
but troubled (anti-)hero, whose mask is reduced to its most simple and essential nature:
black, white and the transitional greys in between. In other paintings the artist
contemplates the perilous assimilation of multiple identities in political figure
Dominique Strauss-Kahn and pop icon David Bowie. Whether carefully and consciously
crafted or shaped and manipulated by the media, their identities are a result of slippages
between truth and fiction.
