A panorex is a very impressive piece of imaging machinery in that it is capable of identifying many issues and structures that a normal x-ray is not. Initially you will sit in a chair with your chin on a small ledge. Once positioned in the machine, it will rotate around your entire head taking a full 360 degree view of the teeth, head, sinuses and bones.
The ability to view the full structure of your head as a whole is very informative to the dentist. It will allow us to see any potential problems and make sure that everything is functioning as it should be. The panorex is capable of viewing specific types of structural problems, infections or asymmetry among many others.

2012: A Progress Report
While I would love to say that I am starting the year off strong--STANDING in the face of the waves of grief that are foaming and roaring all around me--the truth is that right now I want to sit and rest more than anything else.
And you know what? I know I can. I know I can sit. And rest. And that I'm not being unfaithful to my word for the year.
STANDing is an attitude. It is a commitment to not give up. It is a commitment to go again. It is a commitment to stay engaged with life.
NO word ever prohibits me from being human. Or weak. Or feeling frail.
I said in my last post that I see myself standing on a shoreline and I am being pelted by incessant waves. I'm digging my feet into the wet sand and I am bound and determined that I am not going to give up.
That's still my stance.
But something else (that may seem quite contradictory) is equally true. When I think about where I am at in life, I see myself somewhere else too. I'm in a field. It looks dry and barren and like it's been pillaged and touched by fire.
I am surveying what's been burned and damaged beyond repair and I am sifting through the ashes—letting them fall through my fingers. I am taking stock of what I have lost. I am allowing myself to face what's gone, and now the value of what I still have is ever so much clearer.
I am putting this out there because for the past ten years my default--my unhealthy coping mechanism--has been denial.
Denial twists, perverts, covers up, minimizes, pacifies, rejects, cajoles and scoffs at the truth. It parades as padding for the soul.
It seems like it's protecting my heart from whatever threatens to puncture and pierce it, but instead it drives the most painful wedge into my being and keeps me in perpetual separation from health and clarity. (That was a heavy sentence, but if you have been married to and subsequently divorced your own denial, then you know what I'm talking about.)
So I want to make sure that I'm not saving face when I say that I am going to STAND in 2012. (Even though I am going to.)
Because I may also have a meltdown in the middle of the storm I have so valiantly declared that I am going stare into the face of. In fact, I may fall right down in a puddle of tears and momentarily get swallowed up by the foaming waters that ebb and flow over me. But I will get back up. I won't give up.
Maybe I need to have this written and posted so that when I feel like I've lost my footing, I'll remember. I scroll back to this page and I'll sigh with relief and find the strength to get back up.
Or maybe simply giving myself permission to falter and fall and not do it perfectly will help me stave off my performance anxiety so that I can funnel my energy into the task before me. I don't know. Because like I said, I'm only five days in.

Stand gloriously friend! Your faith, courage, and strength is astounding. Know that even when you've lost your footing or you falter and fall in that puddle of tears, let those foaming waters wash over you and provide you with strength for the next day and the day after that. Because in that one staggering moment of pain and grief, you are still standing triumphantly!ReplyDelete
Wow, Melissa. Thank you. Ever so much.ReplyDelete
Angela ~ this is so powerful full of truth, life, hope, courage and grace. Your message to all who have suffered any type of devastation will cause them to dig their toes in further and to stand and to never give up! I pray that the Lord will open many doors for you to share your testimony of His goodness! Love you!ReplyDelete
Patti, you are a faithful encourager. Thank you.ReplyDelete

Angela, I was just reading through a biography of Victor Frankl, an amazing man who lived through 4 concentration camps... and some of his quotes are so powerful. It made me think of you and how you are choosing to stand (with honesty) in the midst of suffering. Your honesty is a help to fellow sufferers... Thank you for putting your heart out on paper for us to feed on, dear one.ReplyDelete
This quote by Frankl got me this morning. Thought you too would appreciate it...
"A human being is not one thing among others; things determine each other, but man is ultimately self-determining. What he becomes - within the limits of endowment and environment- he has made out of himself. In the concentration camps, for example, in this living laboratory and on this testing ground, we watched and witnessed some of our comrades behave like swine while others behaved like saints. Man has both potentialities within himself; which one is actualized depends on decisions but not on conditions."
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
Val, those words are a profound reminder to me not to retreat into victim mode. Thank you for sharing them.ReplyDelete
I agree. Standing is an attitude. It IS a commitment to not give up...on life, on people, on relationships, on God.ReplyDelete
I am STANDing with you my sweet friend!!
And when we loose our footing and fall down, we will be there to help each other back up again.
Yes, Rebecca. Thanks for supporting me here... and so faithfully over the years.ReplyDelete
Ang, you soar through your words. For being one of the tiniest women I know, you have some power! :)ReplyDelete
Camie, what a delight to have you visit here! I miss you!!ReplyDelete

"Nearly There"
Original Watercolour from tonights opening collection at THE FRAME in Odiham
Yesterday was another wonderful day with a workshop full of fascinating artists of all levels. I hope everyone in the room enjoyed the session as much as I did. I even started the day by going for a walk near to where I would be teaching finding "treasure" from the local countryside to use as subjects to work from. In the evening I made my way to THE FRAME gallery in Odiham as my new collection had just arrived. There are favourite pieces as always in gorgeous frames that I now would love to keep. A beautiful poppy full of watercolour fusions is one of my main favourites. The landscape from my book is in gorgeous golds and I know I will never be able to repeat the effects in it. And as you walk through the door a jockey is hurtling towards you at top speed leading a very exciting race.Over his shoulder you can almost see a jockey in the distance desperately making a bid to catch up but he won't make it, or will he? This is in a stunning frame that sets off the piece so brilliantly. A sense of movement makes this painting come alive in a way that makes me want to race for my brush again. It has that special spark of magic in it.
This morning I leave for my last workshop of the week on subjects connected with Autumn.We will be looking at so many ways to capture the sessence of this time of year and I can't wait. Before I leave I need to talk to a reporter from the local press. Immediately after todays workshop I will be heading to the preview and book signing at the gallery.
I am not sure how or when my life changed to this form of lifestyle where I am constantly heading from workshop to demonstration to gallery. It really just crept up one me. In between I am writing and painting from my heart. I wouldn't change a thing but how amazing our lives can change so dramatically as if in a heartbeat just from doing what we love.
See you tonight at the book signing if you can come!
Dear Chris, you asked a question over lunch at the workshop yesterday? The answer is today 7.30 a.m. after a morning walk!
To everyone who has been on my workshops this week a huge thank you for being so fantastic and making each day incredible. Laughter flying around the room at times, quiet concentration studying subjects with eager enthusiasm in every brushstroke is just the most amazing "high" isn't it? Happy painting!
I will reply to my comments soon but this week is extra busy!

Last night I had the opportunity to help out and coach the Triathlon South swim squad, it had been a little while since I had been on pool deck in a hand's on role, and I had a great time. Working with relatively new swimmers, especially with a new group with whom you need to build connection and a framework for communicating can be a challenge, but I feel we quickly slipped into phrasing we all understood. The session really took me back, it is one thing to design and take a session for experienced swimmers, it is an entirely different experience taking those who are new to swimming, who are still working on their stroke, developing the mechanics. It is and was a challenge, and I take my hat off to those who coaches who delve in the adult learn to swim space.
Anyway, this is what started me thinking and prompted me to put down my thoughts for those who are new to swimming, and what I believe is important for them to develop. The key errors I see in the new swimmer, and in some of the swimmers last night:
- Lack of rhythm / timing which effects breathing, or lack of.
- Collapse of the lead arm, and arm slippage – poor kinaesthetic sense and feel for the water.
- Cross over, arms crossing the centre line of the body.
- Kicking from the knee.
- Body low in the water, sinking legs.
I thought it would be a good idea, to reinforce some of the drills and points we spoke about at squad last night, and in doing so we will start at the beginning, addressing the errors in bite sized chunks, because if we try to fix everything at once then we fix nothing.
Breath control and that struggle for breath to prevent what they consider drowning is the most important skill to develop in a new swimmer, often they feel and look like they are fighting the water, lifting their head towards the sky to take a breath. The first stop is to become comfortable in the water, and reinforce the good old bubble bubble breath, exhaling in the water is essential. A drill I like to use with my newer athletes to reinforce this important skill and raise their confidence in the water is to have them take a breath at the deep end of the pool, have them slowly exhale and sink to the bottom of the pool – bubble bubble bubble – lightly push off the bottom, take another breath when they break the surface, and then sink back to the bottom, exhaling all the way – bubble bubble bubble. After they have completed this drill a number of times, hopefully they are feeling relaxed and confident in the water.
Then we get to the good stuff, let's make them faster. Kick is where its at, and we start with Ballet Kick Drill, Torpedo Push Offs and Torpedo Kicks, now I am not going to detail each drill here, because Paul Newsome from Swim Smooth does it so much better.
Once you have begun to develop your kick, we move onto a drill that was reinforced in last night's session, the kick on the side and the 616 drill and the progression 636. Again Paul, details this drill in the clip below.
Now I think this is enough to start with, because it is important to get these basics right and then progress. Plus it also stops many of you jumping ahead, we all want to get quicker, but we need to learn patience, because if we rush through these early stages of development it makes the progression just that much harder.

What I know for sure is that you are amazing at what you do.
You get praised by your clients. People adore your work.
You also know that you need to step up and become visible for more clients and your audience. You are over hiding and looking at how other women do what you want to be doing.
You want to be independent of anyone and anything. You want to show yourself, your daughter and other women that it's possible: do what you love and make money.
You're tired of feeling overwhelmed, comparing yourself to others without moving forward, procrastinating and feeling stuck.
I totally get you.
It's scary to show up, to open up and be visible.
And here I meet you.
I base my approach on marketing strategy, productivity fundamentals and business knowledge that I obtained running my own online business and working across various industries including film, TV, commercials, fashion, real estate and accounting. I was privileged to work with some of the best startups and film/TV companies.
Some of them are: Bazmark Pty Ltd, Screentime, Channel 7 and Channel 9, Stylerunner.com, Pleasure State, Bondi Living and Ogilvy.
Instead of doubting what your next step should be - you'll feel in control of your business and know exactly what needs to get done.
Instead of hiding and hoping your clients will find you, you will show up in all your glory in front of your potential clients.
Instead of wondering if your videos would work for your audience you'll know exactly what videos to make and what to do with them to get the results you're after.
I believe that women can do and achieve absolutely anything
they put their mind to and their heart in.
I also believe that it's not about hustling 24/7, but rather about deciding what we truly want. It's about creating a plan that leads us towards those goals and following the steps.
I believe in the importance of self-care and staying healthy while working on your business.
Let's explore how we can elevate your business and take it to the next level.
Here is what other people said about working with me:
"I felt heard and much more educated. I now have hope and clear direction on what I need to learn and do to have a successful YouTube channel. I feel excited to finally be on the YouTube journey for my business."
Tina Cleary. Business Branding Photographer. United Kingdom
"Olya creates a comfortable environment with openness and enthusiasm. Her strong listening abilities creates wonderful guidance which is reflected by your own needs. Olya's sense of joy is infectious as you leave each session with a feeling of empowerment."
Lauren Rowe. Founder of Gifted Life. Australia
My strengths include:
creating a strategy,
working closely with people and supporting them,
finding that diamond within that we make shine together and
making complicated things easy to understand.
I offer support, encouragement and accountability to my clients.
I am patient but firm and straightforward.
If you're ready to make a commitment to make it happen in your business - I'm your lady.

Chiropractic Colleges & Schools
Learning to be a chiropractor is a rewarding and challenging educational path, and SchoolsGalore.com may help you find several chiropractic schools to consider. The schools for chiropractic studies across the U.S. and Canada may offer you chiropractic education that meets or exceeds state and national standards. These fine chiropractic colleges may help you to earn a chiropractic degree and gain the experience needed to pass national exams and become a licensed and certified doctor of chiropractic.
Training in chiropractic medicine has been available in North America for more than a hundred years, and several chiropractor colleges on SchoolsGalore.com have been in operation since the beginning. Aspiring chiropractors are taught to diagnose and treat nervous and skeletal problems primarily through spinal manipulation, but there is much more involved in chiropractic training. The chiropractic doctor may learn to take a holistic approach to treatment, and to consider each patient as a "whole being" rather than a sum of individual body parts. Chiropractic treatment may often includes improved nutrition, stress reduction, massage, and other natural healing techniques.
Below is More About Chiropractic Courses Available on SchoolsGalore.com:
Chiropractic CollegesStudents may choose to gain a comprehensive chiropractic education in traditional medical schools or from schools for chiropractic studies. Chiropractor colleges each have their own set of enrollment prerequisites, and it is best to contact individual natural healing colleges and universities to inquire about admission requirements. The chiropractic schools may provide plenty of hands-on training with licensed chiropractors in attendance to supervise, mentor, and offer professional advice.
Chiropractic DegreesChiropractic degree programs may offer an engaging course of study that takes between three to five years to complete, including an internship in a chiropractic clinic. The graduate is awarded the title of Doctor of Chiropractic (DC). Provided the chiropractic training is from an accredited learning institution, DCs are qualified to take the national exam administered by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE). However, before opening a practice the chiropractor might require to secure a state license. Check with the individual state(s) in which you intend to practice; each state has its own licensing regulations for chiropractic practitioners, with some requiring additional examinations and/or continuing education for practicing chiropractic doctors.
Chiropractic EducationEnrollment in chiropractic studies may generally requires applicants to hold a bachelor's degree in arts or sciences, with a concentration in health care classes such as physiology, chemistry, human biology, etc. The chiropractic course may begin with classes in the history and natural healing philosophy of chiropractic medicine. Advanced chiropractic education continues with in-depth instruction in spinal anatomy, subluxation diagnostics, nutrition, skeletal radiology (x-rays), visceral physiology, and of course the practical application of chiropractic manipulation. Many chiropractic courses may also include instruction in massage therapy and other stress relieving treatments.

ABOUT ACCREDITATION: Official accreditation is your assurance of a quality education. Please be sure to check that your schools of interest have all been fully accredited by professional accrediting organizations that are approved by The U.S. Department of Education (USDE) or The Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), or both.

39-year-old Jake Brantner of Lee's Summit, Missouri was murdered recently in Kansas City. Brantner was believed to be meeting a potential craigslist buyer that he was said to be selling his gun to. Instead witnesses say that Brantner was shot to death while still in his car in front of his 10-year-old daughter.
Craigslist officially does not allow firearms to be sold through their website however since they do no moderating whatsoever it obviously happens anyway.
As of this time Jake Brantner's killer is still walking free.

How might we help millennials better communicate with those who have opposing political views?
The 2016 US Presidential Election was one of the most polarized elections to date. Even though the American public is more connected than ever in the age of social media, the citizens still live in sharply contrasted echo chambers. How might we better communicate with those who have differing political views?
Burst Your Bubble is a news aggregation app that displays news articles on major political issues. Based on the user's regular reading habits, the app will provide an opposing news source to help the user better empathize with those who have opposing views.
Scope: 6 weeks
Categories: UX Research, UX Design
Role: Solo project. Conducted user interviews, created wireframes and prototypes
Tools: Sketch, Princple, Omnigraffle
The Solution
Upon entering the application, you will be given a feed of recommended articles. Unlike other social media feeds, which use algorithms to show you what you want to see, the application will give you a mix of articles from a variety of different sources across the political spectrum.
on the Issues
Filter content based on the political issue. The majority of the articles will cover topics that are hotly debated in politics. Examples include healthcare, gun control, and abortion. For users who are not knowledgable about the topic, there will be a quick bipartisan summary of the issue.
The SLIDING TOGGLE
By toggling the dial left and right, you can filter the articles based on the political affiliation of the publication or author. If you pull the dial left, more left leaning, democratic articles will rise to the top of the list. The more right you pull the dial, the more right leaning, Republican articles will show up.
Originally, the interaction was to swipe right or left. However, this approach was too binary. Since the spectrum of political beliefs is more fluid, and there are many more moderate news sources, we accounted for this spectrum by using a sliding toggle.
Reading the Articles
Save all the articles that you do not have time to read. Through my research I found that the biggest complaint of my demographic was that they often didn't have time to read articles, especially when on transit.
Articles from different news sources will be read through the app. At the end of every article, the user will be able to determine how much they agree or disagree with the sentiment of the content. This will help the app to understand which politicians the user aligns with, and which would best represent their values.
See Where You Stand
In the profile section, you will be able to see details and how you stack up with others based on your activity in the app. Since the political spectrum can be very fluid, the user will be given a political typology that they fit in the most. These classifications are found from a Pew Research study done on 5,000 American voters.
candidate match
During my research, one issue that many of my users faced was being well informed about the stances of the political candidates that were running. This was especially difficult for candidates on the local level. In order to be truly informed voters, the user can see how congressional and local candidates stand more specifically on the issues you care about.
In addition, the app will remind you of the upcoming elections so that the user won't forget to vote.
detailed analysis
Users can see a detailed breakdown on how they fall on the specific political topics. This gives a more comprehensive analysis of the users stance on specific issues.
Users will also be able to compare how their political views compare to the general American public. Originally users were given the ability to compare with their social networks. However, many users were uncomfortable with sharing their political leanings with their social networks.
My DESIGN PROCESS
The Problem In Detail
Users tended to seek out information that strengthened their preferred narratives and to reject information that undermined it. Alarmingly, when deliberately false information was introduced into these echo chambers, it was absorbed and viewed as credible as long as it conformed with the primary narrative. - Washington Post
Although confirmation bias is not a new concept, in the age of social media as a source of news, it can be even more augmented. Especially in today's turbulent political climate, it is even more important to read across the aisle and have open discourse with "the other". My belief is that if we can understand why someone's political views do not match with us, it will be easier to empathize with the other side.
If we unpack this problem into specific user needs, we see that they need to do the following:
Need to read literature on both sides of the major political issues
Need to know what political candidates they align with
Need convenient access to this data quickly and easily
There is a wide range of papers that analyze the effective of confirmation bias. What was particularly interesting was how this bias was augmented and manipulated by social media feeds. The most blatant example is Facebook, which includes many instances of 'fake news', which are claimed to have swung the election of Donald Trump.
A 2015 study suggested that more than 60% of Facebook users are entirely unaware of any curation on Facebook at all, believing instead that every single story from their friends and followed pages appeared in their news feed. - The Guardian
After the first iteration of wireframes, I discovered the Pew Research Center's political typology classifications. The key takeaway from this research was that political affiliation was more nuanced than just conservative and liberal.
Throughout this project, I conducted interviews with millennial American citizens who were registered to vote. Out of these users, all of them used smart phones, and more than 80% were heavy social media users. Of these interviewees, roughly half of them associated as conservative, while the other half described themselves as liberal.
Key takeaways from these interviews were that these young adults felt there was no reliable source that they could comfortably go to when they read the news. They did not have much time to read the news, and often relied on their social media feeds to get breaking news. Most were not surprised to hear that there were specific Facebook algorithms which influenced their news feeds, however most did not do anything actively to combat this.
In the competitive analysis, I focused my research on news aggregation applications that are most regularly used. Most of these platforms covered a wide range of articles, not only political news. More interestingly, most of these applications actually curated the news based on what the app's algorithms expected the user to like and agree with. This meant that they were much more likely to be shown information to further affirm their point of view.
The USER
I focused on a user that was a young and on-the-go young millennial American voter. This user is a heavy social media user who does not have a lot of time to sit down and read the news. She is constantly multitasking, has no single source of aggregate news, and wants to be informed and up to date on the current political topics.
From an observation clustering exercise, we were able to distill several key learnings:
Efficiency, speed, and convenience are necessary for a good political news app.
People tend to look at the news while multitasking (i.e. on the commute to work).
People are more inclined to gather news to affirm their existing bias.
People prefer visual and graphic content over large blocks of text.
People tend to treat those with opposing political views as "the other" and unreasonable.
CARD SORTinG
From our open card sort, I learned that not everyone I interviewed knew what right leaning and left leaning meant, so the labelling and terminology on the app needs to be extremely clear. I'm working under the assumption that my users will have somewhat a working knowledge of the American political system. There was also confusion on where moderate articles might be placed.
In the original user flow, the user is prompted by a daily summary of political news. They have the option to drill down into more specific topics, and then consequently read left leaning and right leaning articles which are pertinent to those issues. Based on how they rate the article, the app will assess the political leanings of the user.
sketchING AND IDEATION
We created the following wireframes to make our ideas more concrete, and to make sure that the Information Architecture made sense.
In our usability testing, we came across the following issues.
In order to address this issue, we replaced the swiping left and right for a sliding toggle bar instead. That way, the app can more accurately define the level at which an article is leaning left or right. In addition, this solution gives room for moderate and more bipartisan articles to live within the app.
This toggle's design also made it's way into the rating scale of the articles. Originally, the user could indicate if they strongly agreed or disagreed with an article.
When asked to navigate to a left leaning article, users were often confused. Many asked if I wanted an article that was more moderate or radical. From this I realized that having things classified as only Republican or Democratic was too binary.
This prompted me to do more user research on political typologies. From this research, I found a classification created by the Pew Research Center which defined the American public into more nuanced political typologies
ISSUE 2 - home tab
There was no consensus on what content should be displayed on the home screen. It was difficult to ensure that there was mirroring content on both sides. Additionally, some interviewees who associated as conservative commented about the placement of the summaries. It would be difficult to put one summary over the other while keeping the application unbiased.
I decided to remove the digest function all together. Instead of a summary, the user will just be recommended the top trending news articles, making sure that there is a healthy mix of articles. This way, there were less interactions and clicks necessary to get to the content itself.
Solution - No Comparison to Social Networks
We removed the functionality to compare your profile with your social networks. Instead you can compare to the general American public or to your state or district.
ISSUE 3 - profile tab
When asked to share their profile with their friends, many users were uncomfortable with having their political affiliations open to their social networks.
Because so much of the application is reliant on colors to indicate the political leaning of the content being shown, there was a limit in the colors that could be used in the app.
I decided upon a minimalistic interface, which uses mostly neutral colors. That way the red and blue colors would stand out, indicating if the content was right or left leaning. However, taking accessibility into mind, I am still working on a solution that does not rely so heavily on color.
In terms of next steps, I would like to focus on the accessibility considerations of my application, as well as the logistics of how to classify articles. Initially, I would like to classify the articles by the publication that they come from. However, this may not be entirely accurate. For example, there are some opinion pieces that may not fall under the right category.
From this project, I was really able to learn how to be mindful about accessibility considerations, as well as be more thoughtful about friction and why I receive certain types of user feedback.

The $140,000-a-Year Welding Job
Two-Year Degree and Special Skills Pay Off for a Young Texan
HOUSTON— Justin Friend 's parents have doctoral degrees and have worked as university lecturers and researchers. So Mr. Friend might have been expected to head for a university after graduating from high school in Bryan, Texas, five years ago.
Instead, he attended Texas State Technical College in Waco, and received a two-year degree in welding. In 2013, his first full year as a welder, his income was about $130,000, more than triple the average annual wages for welders in the U.S. In 2014, Mr. Friend's income rose to about $140,000.
That has allowed the 24-year-old to buy a $53,000 Ford F-250 pickup truck, invest in mutual funds and dabble in his hobbies, such as making jet engines, including one he attached to a golf cart.
"Not everybody needs a four-year college degree," said Kathryn Vaughan, his mother, a retired biology lecturer who spent part of her career at Texas A&M University.
The risks of a mismatch between costly university degrees and job opportunities have become clearer in recent years. Anthony Carnevale, director of the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University, said nearly a third of people aged 22 through 26 with a Bachelor of Arts degree either don't have a job or are working at one that doesn't require a university degree. The numbers are similar for young people with vocational degrees, but those lower-cost degrees don't typically lead to heavy debts.
Student loan debt outstanding in the U.S. totaled $1.13 trillion as of Sept. 30, up by $100 billion from a year earlier, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. (Mr. Friend has no debts.)
High school counselors, who once almost automatically steered smart kids toward four-year colleges, now are more aware of the job opportunities for those with technical skills, said Steve Schneider, a counselor in Sheboygan, Wis. "The battle continues to be convincing the parents," he said. "That gets easier when we start talking about money."
Demand for welders has been strong in Texas for the past few years, largely because of booming energy-related industries. Some of that demand is expected to decline in the near-term as lower oil prices reduce exploration. Meanwhile, the number of qualified welders should rise. Schools in the Texas State Technical College network had 732 students enrolled in welding programs in the fall 2014 semester, up about 70% from three years earlier. For now, the college says most of its welding students secure jobs before they graduate.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates there will be 378,200 U.S. jobs for welders in 2022, up just 6% from the 2012 level. That falls below the projected 11% growth for all types of jobs. Many welding jobs in the auto industry have been eliminated over the years by robots. But welders with advanced skills and experience can do very well, as Mr. Friend has found.
When he graduated from Texas State Technical College in 2012, Mr. Friend quickly found a job at Acute Technological Services, a Houston-based unit of Oil States International Inc. Acute, which employs about 70 welders, mostly does work for the energy industry. Mr. Friend is usually dispatched to a plant that makes subsea oil-production equipment.
In 2013, Acute sent Mr. Friend to work for a month on an oil project in Ghana, where he found time to visit beaches and villages and buy a carved fish. "It was a blast," he said.
Mr. Friend, who is single, typically works 72 hours a week, usually including at least one day of the weekend, often on an overnight shift. His base pay is more than $25 an hour, up from about $22 when he started in 2012. He gets overtime after 40 hours a week. Pay is doubled on Sundays and tripled on holidays. He receives health insurance, a 401k retirement plan and paid vacation.
With little free time, expenses are low. He rents a one-bedroom apartment for $1,080 a month in a building with a pool and gym. To stay in shape for mountain-climbing trips, he sometimes runs up and down steps wearing a weighted backpack.
He showed an early inclination to make things. "At three years old, he was using a screwdriver and a hacksaw skillfully," said Dr. Vaughan, his mother. Later, dyslexia made writing and math a struggle for him.
In junior high school, he took a course in welding. Within a few years, he was earning money repairing fences and doing other welding jobs for neighbors.
A documentary on World War II stirred Mr. Friend's interest in pulse jet engines, which were used by Germany to propel bombs. He and his father, Ted Friend, a professor of animal science at Texas A&M, together built such an engine. "We used a leaf blower to start it," pumping in air needed to ignite the engine, the younger Mr. Friend said. "It ran on propane." When he attached the engine to a golf cart, he said, the vehicle proved difficult to steer after reaching 30 miles an hour.
"Mom didn't like it," he said. "She thought I was going to blow myself up." One of his goals is to put a jet engine on a motorcycle, he says, adding: "I'd try to make it as safe as I could."
On a recent day, while country music played on a colleague's radio, Mr. Friend used gas tungsten arc welding techniques to attach two steel parts destined for an oil apparatus. Wearing a T-shirt and Wrangler jeans, he hunched over work requiring the precision of a jewelry maker. After welding, he buffed the part with a wire brush. Colleagues would later X-ray the part to make sure the weld was flawless.
The long hours mean "it's hard to have a life," Mr. Friend said. Eventually, he said he may pursue an advanced degree in metallurgy and research welding materials and techniques. For now, he's building up his savings.

What is something that you've always been afraid to make? Mine was grilled pizza. There's actually a list of things that I'm afraid to make but grilled pizzas are on there. So what do I do? I use the summer as an opportunity to conquer it. Grilling can be great for a lot of reasons. It's a lighter way to cook, it's no mess and it doesn't heat up your kitchen. So why not take Friday-night pizza dinners to the grill?
Tip #1: Don't enter the grilled pizza world like a pro. Instead of using raw dough, I used store-bought flatbreads. These guys are a bit sturdier so if you leave them on the grill too long, they hold true. Tip #2: Don't go crazy with the ingredients. Use things that you're comfortable with so that you're not learning too many new things at once. I decided to create a veggie pizza with vegetables I've grilled before and had confidence in a) not over cooking and b) not under cooking. Tip #3: Go with your gut. If you feel like the pizza needs to come off the grill, take it off the grill. Everything on this pizza will already be cooked so if the cheese needs to melt a little more, turn off the grill and close the lid. The remaining heat will cause it to melt just fine.
I was surprised at how delicious this pizza turned out. It was light and full of great flavor. The vegetables also make it pretty good for you to, at least they do in my book! It also is a pretty quick dinner which is nice on a Friday night when all you want to do is kick your feet up and relax. Am I right?
Grilled Veggie Flatbread Pizzas
2 large Flatbreads
2 tbsp. Olive Oil
1 Zucchini, halved and sliced long-ways
2 Red Peppers, hollowed out and cut in quarters
1 small Red Onion, sliced
1 cup Pasta or Pizza Sauce
1 cup Shredded Mozzarella
Salt and Pepper
1 - Preheat the grill to medium heat. Brush all the veggies with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill and cook each side for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the grill and cut the red peppers into large chunks. Set aside.
2 - Grill the first side of the flatbreads for 3-5 minutes until there are slight grill marks and it's starting to char. Flip*. Spoon on the pasta sauce and arrange the veggies. Sprinkle with cheese. Let cook for another 3-5 minutes until the cheese has melted and bottoms have grill marks and are starting to char**. Serve Immediately.
*NOTE: It's much easier to remove the flatbread from the grill after grilling the first side to assemble the pizzas. Assembling the pizzas while on the grill could cause the bottom side of the flatbread to burn.
**2nd Note: If the bottom has charred but the cheese still needs to melt. Turn the grill off and close the lid for another minute or two. The trapped heat will melt the cheese and you've turned off the direct heat to the bottom of the flatbread so it doesn't burn.

CBC News Posted: Apr 01, 2016
'Fair share of officers per shift' could carry the weapons, training possibly starting this summer
The Winnipeg Police Service will be purchasing semi-automatic carbine rifles for some of its general patrol officers, to be used only in dangerous situations.
The body that oversees the police force, the Winnipeg Police Board, approved a plan to purchase the rifles and related equipment at an estimated total cost of $200,000. Police officials would not specify how many rifles will be ordered.
Tactical unit officers already have this type of weapon, but the rifles will now be provided to general patrol officers who receive training to use them. That training could start this summer.
"We'd be using [them] for dangerous gun calls or for active shooters, so every day could be different, every week could be different," deputy police chief Art Stannard told reporters on Friday.
"There might be weeks when we don't use them at all and there might be a week we're using [them] twice or three times, I'm not too sure. It depends on the incident, of course."
Stannard said general patrols are often first on the scene, so it's important to arm them. The rifles will allow officers to engage with active shooters from a safer distance, he said.
"If they have to eliminate that threat, they can do it from a long distance versus trying to sneak in there and go through buildings and try to meet that person head-on," Stannard said.
"We have the luxury now of a distance, which protects the members and will also eliminate the threat quicker."
'We have to be prepared'
Stannard said he hopes officers won't have to use the new rifles, but they are needed due to escalating gun violence in all parts of the world.
"If you see what's happening in society right now, and you read the paper or see the news, every day there seems to be a shooting incident somewhere in the world, somewhere in the U.S. and in Canada," he said.
"We have to be prepared to handle that, and part of the toolbox kit [is] these rifles. They can do a job from a long distance if they have to."
Supt. Bruce Ormiston said members who want to use the new rifles must undergo extensive training before taking them into the field. As well, they have to re-qualify to use the rifles on a yearly basis, he said, adding he couldn't discuss specific numbers for security reasons.
"On a shift I'd say you'd see a fair share of officers having the ability to take that weapon with them," he said.
"Again, it's not all officers using them. It will be officer-based, not vehicle-based, so at the start of a shift that officer will take that weapon with them into the field."
Winnipeg Police Association president Maurice Sabourin said he also hopes the new rifles will never have to be used, but he added that it's important to protect officers and citizens.
"The unfortunate reality is with terrorism, with active aggressive shooters, the number of high-powered rifles that our members seize on a daily basis," he said.
"I hate to say it, but I think eventually Winnipeg will see a tragedy similar to other parts of the country."
The police board approved the purchase of the guns without putting the contract out to tender.
The contract for the Daniel Defense Patrol Rifles was awarded to a company called Wolverine Supplies.
Purchase questioned
But Frank Cormier, a criminology instructor at the University of Manitoba, questions the idea of buying semi-automatic rifles for general patrol officers when the tactical unit already uses them.
"The RCMP, for example, are responsible for policing much vaster areas where … they often don't have even lightly armed back-up close by, let alone a more heavily armed tactical squad if needed. So there's certainly a place for more patrol carbines for an outfit like the RCMP," he said.
"Here in Winnipeg, because we do have a tactical response unit that has access to those firearms when needed, really lessens the argument that we need to have every officer equipped with them when back-up and help is that close within the city limits."
Cormier added that while he is not against protecting police officers or the public, the question is whether buying more rifles is the right investment for the city.
"When we spend money and resources on any one given tool, that means that's money that we can't spend on something else, somewhere else we can't put our focus," he said.
"The other thing is certainly in parts of the world there are dangerous shooter situations, but we need to remember that we are talking about Winnipeg. And I'm not saying that it couldn't ever happen here, but we have to look again when we are assessing the risk and the ones that we should focus our attention on, we have to think about what risks are actually likely to occur," said Cormier.
Search for new police chief getting underway
Meanwhile, the police board is gearing up to find a successor to police Chief Devon Clunis, who is retiring after 29 years on the force.
Coun. Scott Gillingham, who chairs the board, said finding a replacement for Clunis is their top priority.
"We have a diverse board, diverse backgrounds, diverse experiences, and so it will be good to have all board members as part of the committee," he said Friday.
"The board will meet as a recruitment committee starting next week to really begin to lay out the process."
Gillingham said there is not a timeline in place yet, but he does not expect the search to be a long process. He would not say if the board already has its eye on someone to become chief.

There is currently no cure for Fibromyalgia and treatment is based on relieving symptoms to make the condition easier to live with. These treatments tend to be a combination of medications, such as antidepressants and pain medication, counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy can be helpful, and lifestyle changes such as meditation, relaxation techniques and exercise programmes. Exercise has been found to be helpful and have important benefits for people with fibromyalgia. So a personal trainer may be quite helpful for you. In some cases several different healthcare professionals may be involved in your care, such as rheumatologist, neurologist and psychologist. Fibromyalgia has numerous symptoms so there is no single treatment that will work for everyone so you may need to try a variety of treatments to find what works best for you.

Working in one of the coolest office spaces in London seems like a dream for most young businesses (until you scroll down this post to check out your options) – but awesome office space in the capital is easier to come by as businesses change the way they think about what a traditional office should look like.
The way we work is evolving
The kind of office spaces previously only within reach of large companies with a high turnover is now available to young startups, solopreneurs and freelancers. With London now being a centre for some of the world's leading tech startups, the demand for creative, modern and functional office space has rocketed.
Plenty of companies now recognise how much working environment affects employees. Enjoying the environment you spend most of your time in can transform your working life and boost your motivation and productivity. A toxic work environment does the opposite.
When you're sat at your desk at 3pm, fiddling with a paperclip and trying to keep your eyes open whilst you type out that report you need to complete in two hours, you wonder why you're losing concentration. It's not always down to factors you can control. The immediate reasons you think of like lack of sleep or not eating the right food might be a factor…but what about your external environment?
A 2014 study of Nordic countries showed that the "physical working environment is an important, statistically significant predictor of productivity". This isn't a new idea. It's estimated that unhappiness amongst American office workers is costing a huge $300 billion a year in lost productivity! Crazy.
Small business and solo entrepreneurs have more and more options across the city than ever before when it comes to attractive and creative space.
Browse thousands of cool office spaces in London.

If, like me, you are finding the over-arching reach of ubër-corporation Google to be too invasive then maybe it's time to try out another over-arching ubër corporation's search engine: bing. Microsoft have dabbled with searches before via the MSN site, but like Windows Vista or Internet Explorer, it's ugly and annoying (please insert your celebrity comparison now).
So, Microsoft decided that enough is enough and chucked lots and lots of gold coins at the 'problem' and have come up with a new search engine. The PR initiative from Microsoft has been insidious and the coup of getting Newscorp involved shouldn't be ignored – after all, they are up against Google which is probably worth more than…I dunno, Luxembourg – so telling people that there really is another search engine out there is the first hurdle and persuading them that there is something better than Google is the second. A tough ask.
- Home page Google does the whole doing 'fun' things with the logos bollocks that I find a bit old fashioned (think Channel 4 logo circa 1985) and deeply patronising. I can imagine the brass at Google saying: 'yeah, it's branding and it's funny and cool. We're clever, huh?" Yeah, right. What Bing have done is use one huge picture as the home page and have little rollovers on it that reveal extra information about it. It's great, quite fresh and the images are usually superb. My only criticisms are that I wish the image would be header to footer and sidebar to sidebar rather than a wee window in the middle. Also, Bing's logo is a bit of a minger. What is it with Microsoft? Do they employ blind designers, or what?
- Web Search After using Google for so long Bing seems really clean. No ads, no sidebar gubbins; none of that promoting web results crap that no one uses or understands…but no wonderwheel or timeline either. Related searches are on the left which is quite handy but it seems to use a different algorithm or something, because sometimes it finds things Google can't and sometimes it seems to not find things very well at all. However, when it does find things it gives a quick preview of it via a little rollover…which is nice.
- Image Search I have found Bing to be invaluable for image searches and have ditched Google in favour of it. Really. The main reason is that you get loads of images really, really fast in one hit. It is just easier, faster and cleaner than Google. The filtering options are much better as well.
I've never had a problem with Microsoft. I'm a mac-head but I still prefer the Office suite over Numbers and Keynote and all the other Mickey Mouse programs that Apple makes. I use Windows XP in bootcamp and find it to be stable, efficient and quite user friendly. The Xbox 360 and Xbox Live are awesome. So giving Bing a go feels fair given Microsoft's heritage.
I still think, however, that Bing feels like a beta. The web searching feels particularly hit and miss…but I love the homepage, so much so that I like to visit to see what image they have each day. The photo today, for instance, is awesome. The image searching is amazing and I have found it to be much more effective than Google. But, Google is going to remain my primary information gatherer and in that respect I think Bing has a mountain to climb.

Time to Kill the Waste |
Everywhere we look there is plastic and it's starting to become a big problem. Plastic waste is the environmental crisis of the 21st Century and it threatens to choke our seas and decimate aquatic ecosystems.

Every now and then, when my daughter (who is four) is happily shooting mutants with her older brother or using Princess Peach to smack down Kirby and the Ice Climbers (because Peach is wearing a pink dress and therefore that makes her the best character ever…duh) I sometimes wonder if maybe she shouldn't be. After all, is knowing how to use a lightsaber or sneaking through a museum in a potted plant really what I want my daughter to learning at this age? Then I look at the alternative and the answer is, "Dear God in Heaven, yes!"
Because games for girls, to my knowledge, mostly consist of vapid pieces of throw-away garbage. It's not entirely the game developers fault. After all, they've been catering to this new and frightening girl market for only a handful of years and probably just figured they'd stick with what was safe. And then there are the non-gamer parents that don't want little Suzey to learn how to properly defend herself when the inevitable zombie hordes rise to kill us all. But really guys, it's getting out of hand. I like fru-fru girly stuff as much as the next chick but when even I feel ready to tap out rather than be subjected to another cutesy mini-game collection of "appropriate" girl activities, something has gone amiss.
Think I'm being overly dramatic? Blowing things out of proportion? Well think again. Have you seen this? Ubisoft, I love you…really. You've given me Prince of Persia, Assassin's Creed, Beyond Good and Evil and Resident Evil 4, among many others. But for the love of GOD, please stop putting out THIS!
Yes, little girls might want to be all these things (and any of the other dozen Imagine games you've put out in the last year and a half like a puppy mill on crack), but playing 'what I want to be when I grow up' is not an all encompassing past-time. Not to mention I don't see an Imagine: Astronaut or Biologist or Firefighter or Police Officer. Which could just be because they wouldn't make good minigames…but if you can make an entire game that revolves around dressing up dogs, surely you can make putting out fire fun. Hell, the arcades already did it.
And you got to use pretend hoses and everything! Surely it wouldn't be so hard to render a girl's face and splash some pink into an occupation that doesn't scream "female stereotype". Or, if you're hellbent on continuing this crusade, along with encouraging the undulating masses of cheap knock-offs that spill off the local GameStop and Best Buy shelves, at least be an equal opportunity sexist. Start a boy's line of Imagine games. Imagine: Plumber, Construction Worker, and Lawyer.
So until developer's realize that girls don't necessarily need to be coddled due to their sex, I'll let my daughter play Metroid when she feels the needs to be a girl. After all, a chick with a gun and full body armor doesn't need a prince.

Open Arsenal
Arsenal might be unable to win crucial football matches but everyone acknowledges that the Gunners aren't short of silky skills. And the team can now boast that it's the first in the Premier League to roll out its capabilities on Alexa with the Arsenal Skill feature that enables fans to access pre-game build-ups, live commentary and real-time match metrics, as well as post-match analysis, via links to the club's digital channels.
And fans' conversation with Arsenal Alexa begins not with a whistle. But with the words 'Alexa, open Arsenal'.
The idea behind the Alexa skills platform is offer capabilities that enable consumers to verbally interact with devices in what Amazon believes is a more more intuitive way. And skills are simply apps built by third-party developers, enabling Alexa to deliver additional vice-activated features, as is the case with Arsenal.
Other big names coming to the skills game include Mercedes-Benz which has just launched its Mercedes Me Alexa skill in the US. Vehicle owners signed up to Mbrace, the car maker's in-vehicle gear for entertainment and navigation, can use Me to do things such as unlock doors, fire up the engine and deliver route instructions, all via natural voice commands.
