Reusable Cloth Menstrual Pads Handmade in the UK
Every single disposable sanitary towel ever used still exists today, whether in landfill, or floating about in our beautiful oceans. It is finally becoming accepted that plastics, and disposable items in general are bad for the world and all of its inhabitants.
Reusable cloth menstrual pads are a great way to reduce the amount of plastic waste you produce, whilst caring for your body too. There is much anecdotal evidence to suggest that cloth pads and menstrual cups can help to reduce your monthly bleed, minimise cramping and generally make your period a more positive experience.
Still not convinced? Give them a go and try for yourself.
Ngozi Sews is based in the south of the UK, making high quality and durable reusable cloth menstrual pads from carefully selected fabrics. They are highly customisable, breathable and comfy, and more discreet than disposable sanitary towels.

For those striving for a plastic free lifestyle, Earthkind pads are the perfect solution to your menstrual needs. Made from primarily organic, all-natural materials these pads will not shed plastic microfibres when washed, and are slim, breathable and attractive. SHOP EARTHKIND
Plastic Free Alternatives
In additon to reusable menstrual pads, Ngozi makes a variety of other products to help you on your way to zero waste godliness, and to help you remove unnecessary plastic from your life.

Customer Reviews
Couldn't be more pleased with the cloth pads I recently ordered from the Ngozi Sews website. They're absolutely gorgeous and very well-made, hold up to washing well and, most importantly, make me feel comfortable and secure when wearing them. I'm never going back to disposables again and Ngozi Sews will be my go-to website when I'm looking for more cloth pads in the future. Thank you for changing my period into a more positive experience!

Fighting the Hobbesian Trinity in Colombia: A New Strategy for Peace
Authored by Colonel Joseph R. Nunez.
Other Studies by Keyword
+[Colombia] +[Guerrillas] +[War on Drugs]
Brief Synopsis
The author analyzes the drug intervention conundrum of Colombia. He then summarizes the reasons for the violent and anarchic situation that frustrates those wishing to make peace and expand democracy. After introducing what he calls the Hobbesian trinity, the author discusses alternatives to intervention and notes the complexity of the human rights challenge. He suggests a new strategy for improving human security, government accountability, democratic reform, and peace prospects. The author argues that the current approach is heading the wrong way, moving away from peace and fomenting greater instability. He concludes that there is a window of opportunity for the United States to support Colombia in a new way in its war against this anarchic trinity. But this will involve overcoming political factions responsible for the current policy that he argues is ineffective.

The 141′ schooner, THIS IS US, is offering a 22% discount for a luxury sailing charter in the Mediterranean.
For a 7-night odyssey, July 4 through 11, 2011, the yacht is reducing its rate from €60,000 per week to €54,000 per week – a huge savings of €16,000!
Sail yacht THIS IS US offers accommodations for up to 8 guests in 4 cabins.
Holland Jachtbouw launched this 141′ schooner in late 2005, as both a high-performance yacht, rigged for regatta racing, as well as a comfortable yacht charter vessel. Built to MCA safety standards, the sailing yacht has an ideal layout for chartering, with an owners' stateroom, VIP suite, two guest cabins, and generous amounts of deck space. Her lifting keel gives the vessel access to shallow waters – a rarity on megayachts of her size.

The next day we left for Salisbury, which, of course, is famous for Stonehenge. It was close to the end of our trip now, the penultimate night. The last night would be in London.
For this night I had booked us into a guesthouse in Amesbury, a small village, a little distance outside Salisbury. I was hoping that we would be able to walk to Stonehenge, which was supposed to be just down the road from our guesthouse, Mandalay. It was, but nobody mentioned that to get there, you'd have to cross a busy motorway and climb over a barbed wire fence.
We slogged all the way back to town and got a cab. It took us back the same way, crossed the motorway at the circle a long way ahead and circled around to the visitor centre. That's where and we got out and trotted up to the window…

Campbellsville 3, LaRue County 2
The Hawks lost 14-4 Monday to the North Hardin Trojans.
Everything went LaRue County's way the first four innings.
Junior right-hander Colby Skaggs struck out six of the first 17 hitters he faced, including the side in the second. Skaggs pitched around an RBI single by North Hardin senior Trevor Vandermolen in the third, then breezed through the fourth in 12 pitches.
Senior Madison Lee has been a great example of a model student-athlete for the LaRue County Hawks Tennis program. Lee carries a 4.0 GPA, assumes various leadership roles at school and has been the #1 seeded girl's single tennis player the last three seasons.
Lee has been playing competitive tennis since seventh-grade, and is currently playing her sixth season for the Lady Hawks Tennis program. She credits her brother Zachary for the main reason for playing.
When one thinks about Lady Hawks Softball over the past six years, one of the names that come up is senior Trishtian Cruse.
Cruse has been an integral part of the program and a consistent leader on and off the field.
As of Monday, Cruse is batting .667 with 16 hits (12 singles, 2 doubles, 1 triple and 1 inside the park homerun). She has started for the varsity program at shortstop since her eighth-grade season.
Cruse has had a ball in her hand very early on.
For the last six years, Kristina Durbin has had a routine that few teenagers would want.
The urban dictionary defines the words baseball junkie as someone who eats and breathes baseball.
To claim that junior John Selman is a baseball junkie is an understatement. Hawks head coach Eric Allen said, "This day and age there's not a lot of high school kids that are baseball junkies, but John is definitely that."
Baseball has been a big part of Selman's life since the age of 2. He has been playing on a team since the age of 5.
The LaRue County Hawks are on a roll.
With the temperatures in the 30s and the wind chill making it feel more like in the 20s, not to mention snowflakes swirling from the third inning on, the young Hawks pounded out 11 hits and junior right-hander John Selman tossed a two-hitter for a 14-2 rout of the visiting Warren Central Dragons on Friday night.

A Restaurant and a Cooking Class...Food and More Food!
This is how our day started! It was snowing in Boston! The snow was beautiful, but soon turned to a cold rain. The temperature was a little warmer and the wind wasn't blowing, so it was a better day to be outside. This first thing on our minds was coffee so we decided to eat a light brunch at Tatte. Tatte is a fabulous restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and brunch. It is also a bakery that is bustling with people enjoying conversation and great food. Evidently there are five of them in Boston and I'm sure that they are all so good! I loved Tatte the minute I walked in! The display of pastries...croissants, meringues, muffins, bread, cinnamon rolls, etc was beautiful. I had a salad that I can't wait to replicate when I'm home. The salad was made with Romaine lettuce, and was topped with a generous amount of goat cheese, dried apricots, edamame, sunflower seeds and a citrus dressing. There were so many tempting things on the menu that it was hard to decide.
The baked goods were packaged beautifully and very hard to resist.
This restaurant is so popular that Rebecca had to hold on to our seats while I went to order so someone wouldn't nab our spot.
Everything was displayed so beautifully!
After we shopped around Charles Street for a while, we headed to Sur La Table for a cooking class on Italian baking!
We made a focaccia with grapes that was unusual and delicious, parmesan bread sticks, an almond lemon cake, and almond biscotti dipped in chocolate. I'll be sharing the recipes on Crazy Blonde Life later next week. Everything we made was absolutely delicious!
There were only four people in our class and that made it so much fun!
The focaccia is below in all of it's stages. It was really stunning when it came out of the oven. We poked holes in the dough, sprinkled with salt, turbinado sugar, thyme and black grapes.
The lemon and almond cake is a dense cake because of the almond flour and it is topped with honey, almonds and confectioners' sugar. It was a very moist and not too sweet cake.
We put the wonderful food that we made in boxes to bring home. Rebecca and Hayes are going to incorporate it into a brunch menu for tomorrow morning. I can't wait to have the leftovers and to make the recipes again when I'm home.
Rebecca and I had such a nice day together and then went to dinner with Hayes at Sportello. I intentionally left my camera at home so that we could have great dinner conversation and enjoy each other's company. I'll admit that I really wanted to take pictures of the open kitchen and the pretty food, but I'll be back very soon.
I'm leaving the hotel soon to have brunch at Rebecca's apartment with her and Hayes and then off to the airport to come home. It's been a great trip in spite of the cold and snow. I'm looking forward to the warm weather in North Carolina.
I'm planning to incorporate some of the recipes from the cooking class that Rebecca and I took yesterday into my cooking classes and I have so many new ideas!

The 2017 Ford F-350 may not be as popular as the F-150 which is widely distributed and seen all over the country, but this pickup truck packs a punch. This pickup truck promises to get the hardest of work done while doing it in class because of its luxurious amenities. Indeed, it lives up to the heavy duty that this truck is expected to deliver.
According to , the 2017 Ford F-350 is also considered one of the favorites, especially for country folks because of its adaptive steering feature. It makes parking lot maneuvers easy and convenient. It also provides necessary aid when the situation calls for towing. The feature offers variable steering ratio of electric steering and the essential fluid motion of hydraulic steering.
It also comes equipped with Driver Assist technology. There are seven cameras installed in this trailer! These cameras provide a complete 360-degree view of its surroundings and 180-degree for blind alleys and show objects that may be behind it. It doesn't even stop there. A tire-pressure monitoring system also is included.
The Ford F-350 interior resembles that of F-150. Buyers get the basic cabin, but it never goes without the much-needed luxury options. The King Ranch and Platinum come in yards of leather and also offers power-operated equipment that drivers desire. The redesigned exterior is ultimately attractive because of its updated grille, headlights, mirrors, doors, and fender flares

The most significant part of this truck is what lurks under the hood and it is not disappointing at all. The gasoline V-8 is reported to have 25 pound-feet more of torque as compared to the ones released in 2016. It is also powered with a considerably lighter and more efficient 6-speed automatic transmission.
As added by , the revised 6.7-liter Power Stroke of the 2017 Ford F-350 is also responsible for its amazing towing capacity. Ford reportedly updated the engine's fuel delivery setup, turbocharger, and electronic controls. All of which contribute to an insane 925 pound-feet of torque and maximum 440-horsepower. This over $8000 option is all worth it for the power needed to complete the most difficult of tasks with ease.
Ford also claims that the 2017 Ford F-350 is proud to say that it is one of the strongest pickups of its kind. The steel frame is considered 24 times stiffer than ever before. This follows the fact that it comes with a military-grade all-aluminum body which is earlier reported.

It is vitally important for coworking managers and community members to question everything based on the simple question of is this helping our space and its members become a better version of itself.
I recently moved into my new home. This is, actually, my first official residence in over a year and a half. Exciting! As I was moving, I realized I only own some clothes and tech items. That's pretty much it. I did not bring anything from the house my ex-wife and I shared — no dresser, no bed, no end tables, no throw pillows, etc. As I looked at my things, I started to think about what I really needed. Why do I need a dresser? Why do I need throw pillows? Do I really need a set of 8 dishes? This is my space. What is right for me?
In my case, I find the idea of getting a dresser and all the "must haves" of a home unnecessary. There are other options for me. What do I really need, and what are just some nice things to have? How many pans do I really need to make a tasty dinner? After all, everything I purchase takes up physical and mental space.
This line of thinking is similar to the constant evolution that happens in successful coworking spaces. You might have heard that you must have x, y, or z for your space. One manager might try x and then determine it's not right for the community. Another manager might ignore the community members' reactions to the change and just say that, if you are going to do it right, you're going to do it this way. Don't do that. Don't ignore your community.
Question everything. Question if you should be providing food. Question if the events you put on are the right types of events. Question everything you do and don't do for the space and community. The coworkers will tell you what they want and need. You just need to look and listen.
The most vibrant spaces I have seen are constantly changing. They listen to their coworkers and adapt. They test something new quickly and move on if it isn't working. After all, coworking is a constant startup. You can build processes that keep everything going, however, with each new person the community and the vibe changes.
Stay inquisitive. Don't rest on success. Push forward, grow, and improve.
You won't regret it.
For all of you coworkers out there, it is just as important for you to communicate with the space managers as it is for them to listen. Not all your ideas will work or be possible, however, it is important to be present and an active member of the space. Think of the coworking space and coworker interaction as a relationship. It only works when both sides care enough to work together.

How important is it that consumers can recall content from a company's advertisement? Marketers today are starting to find that an ads quality just might be more important than the quantity of ads produced. The ability for consumers to recall information, content, or even the brand from an advertisement is much more beneficial than sitting through tons of ads only to instantly forget what it was about. Nowadays people are doing many different things at once, especially while watching television, which means people aren't always paying full attention to the many different ads that bombard their day. It's hard to know exactly what makes an ad tend to be easily recalled later on, but one thing that might help is an ad with an engaging story line just like this Volkswagen Super Bowl commercial:
Although some ads might be easily recalled, like the Volkswagen one above, not every ad makes a huge impact on consumers. For an ad to be successful, it has to first be memorable. This is the basic idea behind making an ad that consumers will be able to easily recall. If marketers can first get consumers' attention in this heavily multitasking world, then they next need to be able to make them remember what their ad is about, but more importantly what it is advertising/selling. Another very easily recalled ad was a Doritos commercial, not surprisingly from the Super Bowl also, which turned out to be the most recalled ad shown during the game:
Another important factor is that just because an ad can be easily recalled does not mean that it will vastly improve sales. According to the book, "some research indicates there is little relation between recall scores and sales effectiveness. Remember an ad does not necessarily make you want to buy a particular brand." It then gave the example that the "Got Milk?" ad campaign was very popular and familiar, but did not help improve declining milk consumption in the U.S.
I'll end with this, personally I believe that the more memorable an ad is the better it will do. We have all seen many ads that did not make an impact and we have all forgot what those ads were about. I want to see ads that are funny, relatable, and most importantly engaging, because these ads are always the most enjoyable and, to me, the most successful.

Accounts differ over Haitian migrant boat incident
U.S. authorities gave starkly different accounts of what happened on the high seas this week when an overloaded vessel of Haitian migrants trying to reach the U.S. mainland was intercepted by Coast Guard officials.
U.S. embassy officials in Port-au-Prince said in a statement that armed smugglers partially thwarted U.S. Coast Guard officials by holding more than 60 passengers at gunpoint as they fled an area near the Haitian barrier island of La Tortue.
The smugglers, who were armed with pistols, had threatened the other migrants who were attempting to climb aboard the Coast Guard ship, according to embassy officials.
But the U.S. Coast Guard reported that it sent 35 migrants back to Haiti on Wednesday after discovering the wayward boat on Monday. They said there was no report of the smugglers being armed with any pistols.
In their statement, which was issued in French from Port-au-Prince, embassy officials said the ship fled from Coast Guard authorities with 60 migrants still aboard. They reaffirmed that "we are sure [the alleged smugglers] had weapons."
U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Mari Tolliver referred further questions to Haiti's national police, who did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Haitian National Police are in charge of the investigation.

'Ellie Moonbeard and the Seekers of Shine' Comic Review
written by Joseph Bradford; art by Nicolas David Selma; colors by Brittany Peer
Readers won't be able to help but be reminded of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the lead character Rey, when looking at the first few pages of writer Joseph Bradford's Ellie Moonbeard and the Seekers of Shine. Some might see it as blatant visual plagiarism, if not for one obvious fact: Bradford came up with the iconic imagery of a young woman hanging from a restraint, tinkering around inside of a ship on his own. The first full Force Awakens trailer with Rey inside the Star Destroyer doing the same thing didn't premiere until a week after Bradford's series was first published last year.
I think it's important to know this chronology because not knowing it might lead a reader to dismiss the comic as a simple rip-off. It is far from it. Bradford clearly has been thinking about his characters and their motivations long before Rey was a light bulb going off in the mind of Lawrence Kasdan and J.J. Abrams as evidenced by his inclusion of the note, "I remembered, as a kid, two movies I loved were Star Wars and The Goonies. I thought about how I could merge those two together. Thus was born Ellie."
Regardless of Force Awakens ties, Bradford's comic does invoke memories of Star Wars with its focus on adventure, and introduction of a variety of characters both of the alien and droid variety. I didn't sense The Goonies as much while reading the first few issues of the series, but I feel that tone will be revealed more as the story continues. I also found that Bradford was effective in establishing the relationships between the characters, especially with the assistance of the artist Nico Selma.
Selma makes the cinematic choice to sometimes distance characters from one another to show a disconnect, or forces them into square panels to show the level of intimacy they share, whether it be with a smiling blue alien named Kalim or android named Elvis. Both Bradford and Selma also do an excellent job including characters who are not prominently featured in the contiguous space adventure such as Ellie's mother, who we see glimpses of on monitor screens.
These moments are almost dream-like with their soft focus on the mother's face and her distinct beauty prevalent in the panel. She's a character that readers will want to know more about because she is so striking. Some of the other character designs aren't as strong. Selma succeeds at drawing lovely female characters who are both strong and elegant, but his men tend to fall into a manga style that doesn't quite work for me. For that reason, the human male characters lack a distinct look aside from the inclusion of facial hair, glasses, or another accessory.
There are moments in which Selma deviates from that style for some emotionally driven close-up panels further accentuated by the excellent coloring done by Brittany Peer.
I can confidently say that Peer is the stand-out artist for this comic because she provides the reader with a striking image from the beginning that adds to Bradford's writing. How can you not be pulled in by a giant blue planet hovering above a magenta background while two ships fly into the frame, one firing green laser bolts at the other? It's a striking image that got me hooked.
However, therein lies the problem for me with this series so far. It's a great hook, but I want to see where it goes from here. Some of the characters are more defined than others. Why is there a robot Elvis on the spaceship? That's a story deserving of its own series. Bradford and his creative team have a great group of characters, now it's time for him to do more with each because this has the potential to be a special project with joy, energy, and intrigue. I look forward to seeing this galaxy unfold on the pages.

Hiiiiiii, you guys!! I can hardly believe it's been three months since I last blogged. Well actually, I can believe it, because life with a baby seems to move faster than ever. Whoosh. We are slowly finding our footing, establishing some rhythms + routines and I'm feeling a lot less frantic these days. Three cheers for that!
I've realized over the past couple months how much I truly miss blogging, just for the fun of it. No sponsors, no editorial calendars or agenda or pressure. Just sharing (oversharing, most likely) our life with all you sweet souls over the interwebz. Home projects, baby photos, trips + adventures and my continually evolving capsule wardrobe. The big and the little, the exciting and the mundane, the major and the minutiae. And now that I don't have a Facebook account any longer, I hope this space helps keep our faraway friends + family up-to-date on our life. Don't worry, I'm well aware that all anyone really cares about are updated Xavier photos - so prepare yourself for lots of those. Starting with our trip to Hawaii last month!
My parents have been planning this trip for a long time. So long, in fact, that Matt and I did our best to time having a baby to ensure we could still make it. I didn't want to be so pregnant that I couldn't fly, and we didn't want to have so tiny of a baby that would make travel nearly impossible. Of course, there's no such thing as ensuring anything when it comes to babies, but thankfully God saw fit for us to get pregnant when we did, and so we found ourselves flying to Hawaii with a 3-month old on December 27th.
Traveling with a little baby for that far and for that long (two weeks!) felt like no small feat, but thankfully Xavier did great on the flights and having my parents around to help with Xavier during vacation was such a godsend. And now we feel like travel pros! I mean, it took 19 hours total elapsed time for us to get to Hawaii, which isn't exactly getting your feet wet when it comes to baby travel. We dove straight into the deep end. But we lived to tell the tale!
We spent two weeks on the North Shore of Oahu, and it was truly paradise. We surfed, drank pina coladas on the rocks thanks to the condo's broken blender, and ate our weight in acai bowls. There was shave ice, beach hopping and taking walks along the resort's trails. We took Xavier in the pool, watched fireworks over Waikiki Beach on New Year's Eve and visited Pearl Harbor. It really was a dream vacation, and one I'll remember forever.

What is Django ?
Django is high-level Python Web framework that was released under BSD license in 2005. It emphasizes re-usability, rapid development and DRY (don't repeat yourself) principle. There are a lot of great web development frameworks available, like Ruby on rails and Codeigniter for PHP that follow same principles so we could say that Django is just another fast development web framework but with different flavor. With the help of Django, a developer can build and maintain high-quality Web applications with minimal effort.
Why use Django?
- Django is fast and stable.
- It's very scalable.
- Let's you work outside the scope of the framework as required.
- Fast development and code readability.
- Very well documented.
- And the list goes on about Django's pros over other web development frameworks.
Required Knowledge
- Should have the basic understanding of procedural and object-oriented programming: control structures (e.g. if, while, for), data structures (lists, hashes/dictionaries), variables, classes, objects, etc.
- At least hands on experience with programming in Python and understanding of how libraries work. If you don't know python, click here.

On Sunday, April 2nd, the Arab American National Museum will play host to the Rock for Refugees benefit concert, featuring several notable Detroit-area musical acts. With lo-fi power chords, fuzzy drums and striking harmonies, the all-female Casual Sweetheart embodies the spirit of Detroit punk filtered through an Indie Rock lens.
In anticipation of the concert, CultureSource had the chance to speak with Erin Norris, guitar player for Casual Sweetheart. She will be joined on stage with her bandmates Dina Bankole on drums and Lauren Rossi on bass. All three provide vocals.
CultureSource: Can you give a brief explanation as to how Casual Sweetheart was formed, and how long the band has been together?
Erin Norris: We formed in late 2012. I placed an ad on a feminist Facebook group looking for other women to play with. Lauren [Rossi] and MaryAnn Koz answered the call. MaryAnn moved to Lexington, KY to pursue a PhD, and so Dina Bankole joined us in the summer of 2014.
CS: How would you describe the band's sound to somebody that hasn't heard your music?
EN: We've been dubbed post-Detroit college radio.
CS: What is your connection to the immigrant community, and why have you chosen to play at Rock for Refugees, which benefits Freedom House and Take on Hate?
EN: We are all descendants of immigrants. The America we live in was built by immigrants. We want to support immigrants. We couldn't be more happy to perform at this concert to benefit Freedom House and Take on Hate. The work they do is important beyond measure.
CS: How did Casual Sweetheart get involved in playing the Rock for Refugees event?
EN: We played the Concert of Colors last summer and gained some recognition after that experience that led to us being invited to play Rock for Refugees.
CS: What impact do you think large music festivals can have?
EN: Music emanates emotion and people connect through emotions. Any time you have an audience, you have the potential to elevate and support one another as well as to inspire.
CS: What do you hope people learn from seeing your set and attending Rock for Refugees?
EN: That women have an equal place in music, the workforce, and society overall, and it is the duty of every human being to respect and support one another. We also hope to inspire people, particularly the people we don't hear or see in the music industry, to pick up an instrument and start a band.

So many of my clients reach out to me after their job description has unexpectedly changed. Companies restructure, new management is hired, and change happens.
But where does that leave you?
If you're finding that your expectations at work are no longer being met and you are starting to distrust the company you're working for, it's time to update that resume and start a targeted job search that lands you the job you want. You can discover a lot about a company before ever applying for a job by looking at that company's website, Facebook or Instagram profiles, and by reading reviews on Glassdoor. Once you've found a few companies that you want to work for, the best way to ensure that you get an interview is to create a highly targeted resume and cover letter.
While your resume can't exactly spell out your expectations of an employer, you can use a highly targeted cover letter that speaks to the needs of an employer to start a constructive dialogue and get your foot in the door of an interview. This guide will share how to write a cover letter that gets job interviews.
1 | Create A Copy Of Your Resume
When you create a cover letter from a copy of your resume, you contact heading and general formatting will automatically be copied to your new cover letter. This is a great trick to create a personal brand and keep it consistent across your career documents.
2 | Address The Letter To A Specific Person
If the job posting you are applying for doesn't list a hiring manager or HR contact, you can do a little research to figure out who may be reviewing your resume first. You can use LinkedIn to search for the company and its employees. Some companies will list employee directories on their websites, too.
It's important to address the letter to a specific person to humanize your cover letter. A generalized cover letter doesn't add value to your application and is, frankly, a waste of time for both you to write and an employer to read.
3 | Start By Describing Yourself As The Solution
To make an impact with your cover letter, you need to use this letter to describe yourself as THE solution to the employer's unique problem. What exactly is this problem? Well, it depends. Consider the company's mission and the role of the position that you're applying for.
What is the primary goal of the company?
What is the primary goal of the position you are applying for?
Your cover letter should start by indicating the job title you are interested in, why you're interested in working for the company, and how you can meet the company's goals in a short paragraph.
4 | Summarize Your Qualifications + Experience
Now that you've addressed that you're THE solution to the employer's problem, your cover letter needs to support this claim by summarizing your qualifications and related experience. You can achieve this is a short, concise paragraph.
When you analyze the job posting, you should identify the top 6-8 qualifications and skills within the Qualifications or Requirements sections. These should be adequately highlighted in your resume with examples from your work history, but it's important to use your cover letter to draw attention to the most significant qualifications and skills up-front.
5 | Showcase Your Achievements
In a three or four-lined bullet list, you should showcase your top achievements that relate to the qualifications and skills you are introducing in your cover letter. These should be results-oriented statements that should indicate how you saved the company money, increased profits, improved a process or a customer experience, or helped the company achieve its goals.
When this section proves too challenging or you just don't have anything worth bragging about, create goal-oriented statements (similar to results-oriented statements without the claims) that describe what you will aim to do using the qualifications and skill sets this position is requiring.
6 | Include A Few Transferable Skills
Transferable skills, also known as soft skills, should be integrated into your cover letter more so than in your resume. These are communication skills, teamwork, thriving in a fast-paced environment, and so on. These are skills that will set you apart from others with the same qualifications or years of related experience.
Don't go overboard with adding these statements to your resume, though. These are hard claims to justify with solid, specific examples from your work history and can be considered "fluff" on both a resume or cover letter. Add a couple statements in a brief paragraph after your qualifications and achievements.
7 | Anticipate An Interview
Finally, you should indicate that you're interested in an interview. It's more impactful to anticipate an interview in your close rather than to ask for an interview, which can look something like this:
"I look forward to discussing your company's needs in greater detail in an interview."
When sending a letter of interest with your resume, which is similar to a cover letter but focuses more on asking if you would be a good fit for any open positions, indicating which job functions you are most interested in and how you prefer to be contacted would be more appropriate.
8 | Edit + Add Keywords From The Job Posting
Before sending your cover letter off with your resume for consideration, take another look at the job posting to make sure you are using terminology that mirrors the terminology used in the cover letter. This is a great way to add additional keywords to your application package and reiterate that you are a great fit.
While cover letters are rarely scanned by Applicant Tracking software, using keywords to draw attention to your qualifications and skills will make it easier for a reader to connect the dots. Try to think like a hiring manager!
9 | Proofread For Readability
Don't even consider applying with your cover letter without proofreading it for readability. What does that mean exactly? You should be able to read your resume and sound professional and approachable. This means your cover letter should not make you sound like a robot. This can easily happen when you're mirroring the terminology in a job posting or focusing on adding keywords.
Sometimes a little wordsmithing can go a long way. Your cover letter should humanize your application package while still maintaining a consistent message.
10 | Create An e-Cover Version
I strongly suggest reformatting your cover letters to e-covers when you're not uploading it as a separate document. E-covers have the standard letter formatting removed and require reworking your contact heading into an email signature with appropriate contact information. These are great for copying-and-pasting into form fields when applying online but not uploading your cover letter, when emailing your resume (Your cover letter should be the body of your email, not an attachment!), or when contacting employers on LinkedIn in a private message.
To create an e-cover quickly, create a copy of your cover letter. Select all of the content and click the Clear Formatting button. Move your contact heading into your email signature, delete the company address, and presto! This non-formatted version of your cover letter should be saved and sent when needed with your resume.
Start writing highly targeted cover letters and practicing your interview skills!

The University of? Jos on Tuesday said it owed the Plateau Board of Internal Revenue "only a little over N300 million'' as against N3.8 billion claimed by the board.
Mr Ninnan Denden, counsel to the university, told the Federal High Court in Jos that "even though we just got the brief yesterday, the university does not owe the board such a huge amount".
"What we are aware of is something a little above N300 million and not N3.8 billion as quoted by the board of internal revenue.''
The board, through its counsel, Mr Philemon Dafi, had on Feb. 28, sued the university over alleged unpaid N3.8 billion taxes before Justice Ambrose Allagoa.
The board accused the university of "deliberately'' withholding the amount, being outstanding unremitted tax liabilities of? Pay as You Earn (PAYE) of its employees between 2005 and 2010.
Dafi claimed that in pursuance to the Personal Income tax Act 2011 (as amended), the court should compel the institution to pay the accumulated unpaid tax to the board without further delay.
He alleged that the board tried to make the university see reasons why it should cooperate and pay up the debt, but that all such entreaties were rebuffed.
The board also prayed for imposition of penalty and interest on the university over its failure to file tax returns and remit the tax collected when due within 90 days as required by law.
Dafi urged the court to compel the university to pay its taxes just as other federal institutions as a proof of a "statutorily responsible corporate organisation''.
When the case came up for hearing on Tuesday, Denden asked for adjournment, to enable him to reply properly to the writ.
But Dafi opposed the application, saying that the university was served very well with enough time for it to have replied the writ for hearing of the case.
He, however, said if at all the court would consider the application, he would ask for N250,000 costs.
"My Lord, I am opposing the application for adjournment, but in the event the court will grant it, I have no option than to ask for cost of N250,000 because I came all the way from Kano for this case.''
Allogoa granted Denden's application and awarded a cost of N30,000 to Dafi.

Because of increasing mobility in our modern world, it takes no time at all to travel to places where people speak a language other than English. If you visit or go to work in another country you will quickly learn the fallacy of the phrase, "Everyone speaks English there; don't worry!" Even in California, scarcely a day goes by that you do not hear people conversing in a language other than English, because the United States has a wealth of different heritage languages. Whether you travel overseas or stay in the United States, you will be more culturally sensitive if you are bilingual and bicultural. For example, agricultural, health, and music professionals benefit from knowing another language. It is never too late to acquire another culture and language.
The goal of the Department of Modern and Classical Languages and Literatures is to encourage multiculturalism and multilingualism in the Central Valley. That includes preparing students for communication in some of the important heritage languages of the area: German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese. These are also important languages of Mexico, Central and South America, and the European Union, so students are able to travel or work overseas with greater ease. The department also offers Greek and Latin, as well as Classical Studies and Humanities.
The department has programs for those who wish to be middle and high school teachers of French and Spanish. We offer courses to prepare those who wish to be bilingual/ cross-cultural teachers in elementary schools. We also offer courses in Italian, Portuguese, and other languages to the surrounding community. The department offers a major and a minor in French and Spanish, a minor in German, a minor in Humanities, and a minor in Classical Studies. We collaborate with the Department of Linguistics to offer the B.A. Option in Language Studies.
Students completing the M.A. in Spanish often teach at high schools, community colleges, or go on to Ph.D. programs. Our Master of Arts program in Spanish is one of the largest and best in the California State University system. Students come from all over California to study with our prestigious faculty members. Our faculty members are well-recognized for their expertise in Spanish language pedagogy; Golden Age literature; contemporary Mexican, South American, and Peninsular literature; Spanish linguistics and dialectology; creative writing in Spanish; and Hispanic culture. M.A. students may apply for a limited number of teaching assistant positions.
Study Abroad Programs: Apply as a Sophomore
Sophomore students having a minimum GPA of 3.0 are eligible to apply for participation during their junior or senior years in one of the International Programs organized by the California State University System under agreements with universities in 18 countries, including France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain, and Peru. See International Programs (Overseas). Students may find it useful to consult with a professor in the Department of Modern and Classical Languages and Literatures. A small scholarship is available for qualified study abroad scholars.

C. Students who have studied a language for three years in high school will enroll in a 2A class in that language.

Students who have taken two or more years of a language in high school may not challenge a 1B course in that language. Students who have taken three years of a language in high school may not challenge 2A in that language.

text: Keegan and Danielle wanted some "just for fun" couple pictures. I was totally on board with it and love that they realize how important different times in their lives are. You don't always need a reason to have some good pictures; sometimes it can be just because. I was honored when Danielle asked me to take their pictures because Danielle is an artist herself. Danielle is an amazing person and I am glad she found someone just as amazing! It was fun hanging out, you two!
