Hi! I'm new to quilting and finished my first quilt (jelly roll race) last month. I sure am having fun with this new hobby and look forward to learning more from all of you.
Hi. Im Mary Kukla, retired grandma of 5. My granddaughters enjoy embroidering and sewing with me. I have only been doing this for 1 year and I love love love it. I backed up my files on a usb stick. well, it broke, cant be fixed. so, I have lost 1 years worth of free and paid for embroidery. Some I was able to retrieve, but not all. Lost my Indians logo, all my fonts!! Im trying to stay positive. So please buy a small harddrive (best buy 60.00) to back up your files. Learn from me. Hope to learn from all of you.
Hi just wanted to introduce myself I'm Kate Isenberg(mom1002) I was wondering if Jenny could please put a tutorial on about how to make from beginning to end of how to make an iron caddy tote. Thank You and have a wonderful day. The tutorials are so wonderful.
Today's tutorial for the Arrow quilt uses a fold and sew method. I know Jenny used this on another tutorial. Does anyone remember which one?
Hi there! My name is janetinparadise. I just retired in May and have been entering the quilting world full blast. This is my first time on the forum and I'm trying to find my way around. I think I need a tutorial can photos of projects be posted anywhere? Is it ok to describe how we've used one of Jenny's tutorials and made changes? I'm looking forward to sharing. 👋

Well did you guys like the first two drawing tutorials of the day? I am going to end the night with a lesson on another Ben 10 Alien. I recently came across some information that there is a Ben 10 movie coming out this year and this next character that I am about to submit is going to be in the movie, or so I've read. Anyways having said that let me tell you what alien you will be learning today. I am going to teach you "how to draw Jetray", step by step. I know that there are plenty of you that watch this series on Cartoon Network and I used to be an avid follower of the show. But as time went on I slowly stopped watching Ben 10 because I have really been getting into my work. I wish I could sit here and give you all the information you want to know about Jetray, but I'm afraid I can't do that. I'm not saying that I know nothing about Jetray, I just don't know all the details about him. I can tell you what I do know though. For starters he is probably one of the coolest looking aliens that Ben 10 can turn into because he looks like a big bat. Now Jetray is from a planet called Areopela which basically means he is an Aerophibian. As for his abilities, Jetray can shoot neuroshock blasts from his eyes and tail and he even has the ability to fly and swim at super sonic speed levels. Like every hero alien, Jetray does of course have weaknesses. For one, he isn't that strong when he is on land and he can get seriously injured if he is hit by one of his own blasts. Now remember when I said that Jetray can swim under water? Well did you know that he can also breath underwater as well? Yup it's true, because Jetray has gills on his chest, he is able to breath under water like we humans can breath out of water. All in all this Ben 10 alien is wicked cool and I can't wait to watch more of the episodes to catch up on what I have missed. I hope you guys like this lesson on "how to draw Jetray, step by step". I know you will find that the steps and instructions are easy to follow and understand. I will be back tomorrow kiddies with some more drawing fun so be sure to come back to DragoArt.com. Adios amigos.

- Kroptokin was created just by observing. At the time I was looking at a lettering book. A certain typeface caught my eye. The typeface was introduced by Helvetica, but it didn't come off as anything like the Helvetica I knew. Something about the deep blackness somewhere seemed unrefined. I could see it clearly in my eyes. I don't know if at the time, I was thinking about making a typeface with the unrefined characteristic I love or not… At first I traced it out neatly. I was satisfied just doing that. But then I felt like it was missing some kind of unrefined quality. I thought about what I could do to make it give off that unrefined quality that I love. After going over it in my head, I came up with making the vertical and horizontal angles appear as even as possible.

'Bold move' revisited
Oh, Mr. Jilka. Did you not read the tax bill proposals, or do you see the world through distorted lenses?
Yes, I did buck the leadership in a tax bill vote I believed was a good alternative to the other tax bills being debated at the time, and one that received a large majority in the Senate. I was one of only 18 House Republicans to vote for a tax bill that would have kept the 6.3-percent sales tax, but, at the same time, would have a two-tiered sales tax system in which food items would be taxed at 4.9 percent.
As legislators, it is our job to be responsible, to consider the many options we are given. The tax bill passed into law in 2012 was a disaster, leaving huge funding holes and debt for Kansans. We had to attempt to fix the problems of the past. The itemized income tax deductions will be reduced gradually as the income tax is planned to "glide to zero."
A majority of the constituents with whom I visited did not have a problem with holding the 6.3-percent sales tax rate that went into effect in 2010. Most didn't seem to think lowering the sales tax by six-tenths of 1 percent was crucial, but lowering the sales tax on food might be beneficial for all. In fact, 32 states no longer tax food or have a reduced level of taxation on grocery products.
In addition, I did not vote for the budget bill because I still have concerns about the inclusion of the intellectually/developmentally disabled population in KanCare, and I could not support a bill that reduced funding for the Regents' universities. I made promises to my constituents and I kept them. Perhaps you should worry about Saline County voters and leave the 111th District alone. Or, perhaps, you should not attempt to distort the truth.

Kazmo wrote:I don't know but I think fury figured out how the game worked and the admins gave up trying to come up with ways to stop fury from winning on the first day.
but seriously while Alliances were TDZK's best point it was also a point that hurt it a bit. Every round would have a max of 3 big alliances and most of the new players were solo or part of the small alliances. Small alliances then got throttled by big alliances and smaller alliances with the new players stopped playing. I really saw this in 3.0 in OotB. We had a good like 30-40 active or semi-active players and we started strong but then (due to questionable leadership) we got ownt and all the newer players went inactive for the rest of the round and we were comprised mostly of new players.
Solace wrote:I think the discussion here raises a number of strong points re: the decline of the game, but is missing the obvious: the game died because Nomad, in the end, was just not very good and should never have been released in the form it was in.
Sure, there were a lot of underlying structural improvements -- less exploitable code, a better base engine, more room for expansion, etc. -- but it was a mostly terrible user experience that couldn't hook new players and actively drove away the old ones.
zer0das wrote:Mechanically weak rounds was part of it (2.3, 2.7).
People cheating to the point that their actions affected entire rounds was probably the largest factor- and then these same people being allowed to play the game with scarcely a slap on the wrist. Carlos, Wolverine, etc.
The existence of trigger scripts which were around since god knows when... maybe as far back as 2.2 or even earlier? Their proliferation after it became obvious the admins 1. were not adequately punishing those who had them 2. it was questionable whether they could even ID who had them through their moderation tools, despite it being pretty obvious to anyone with a brain stem who actually played the game (at least the big names).
Prematurely ending 2.6 without a solid plan for 2.7 was also a huge factor. A return to 1.0 was perhaps the worst possible thing that could have been done. I'm somewhat convinced part of the reason this ill conceived plan was carried out was because the way 2.6 went down. 8002 was rebuilt putting the admins at a bit of a crossroads- do they let Fury dominate for another couple months, or do they yank the round before people get disinterested, even if they're not at all prepared for a new round? In either case, I think neither choice was optimal.
Also- 2.6 was pretty much the culmination of the cheating, despite 2.3's being much more well documented. Rereading my logs, the amount of questionable crap that happened in this round was unbelievable. We had people hacking an inactive account in our alliance, and the parties responsible don't get booted from the game instantly? What the crap.
zer0das wrote:I traded for a solid round. I watch every single "top" trader go down. Granted, most of them are idiots and have no idea how to survive, I get that. The fact that they all die in about a day or two though seems highly, highly suspicious though. 1. You have to know their locations. You can compile this information ahead of time, but they're going to move. Tracking them all is nontrivial. 2. You have to trigger on them. Point 1 is simple compared to this, because most of these people are on relatively fast connections- if you have the same ping/connection speed, the trader is essentially invincible barring a severe screw up.
Trading during Euro times was virtually impossible for me. It wasn't because I refused to- it was because the server was essentially being DoSed, near as I could tell. One person would come on, completely unable to do anything. Person idles out, lag suddenly improves to being tradable. Logs on again, reverts back to the previous situation. This happened for the entire round. Know how I died? I traded, the person logged on, I decide to make one last trade, and then I got a page not found- the server was overloaded, I was left out in space, and I died.
This happened exactly once in my entire TDZK career. I had situations where my browser would freeze but then resume shortly (I even died once due to that), never had one where it completely died and I was unable to login for an extended time. I pissed and moaned about the lag for the entire round to my alliance, and they were like "You're just imagining it." I don't really think you can imagine that sort of thing. Trading at nights was fine- it wasn't the difference in the number of people online either. I was pretty much fully expecting to die at some point, because the situation was absolutely ridiculous.
Then 8002 happens and we had trouble getting any significant number of restockers on despite the fact the planet is over a node and the raid was at a time no one is typically on. Yeah sure, planet raids cause lag- like that? I teleported from 8002 to a completely different sector, and then back to 8002, and then died. That's the tip of the iceberg as far as retarded stuff that never happened before then. You could say "oh, an event like 8002 was unprecedented" but that's not really true. Asgard had been raided by the Kitchen Sink, there was never anything remotely like that. The player numbers may have spiked over what the Kitchen Sink had at times, but anomalies were present before then. As far as I'm concerned, SD distributed trigger scripts to every single hunter in their alliance. And even if they didn't, they may as well have- the same stupid rainbowssss would have happened.
Not that I'm bitter or anything. we rebuilt 8002. So who has the last laugh.

More Van Winkle Mania
Earlier this week, Chuck Cowdery wrote a post for the Whisky Advocate Blog about the composition of the next release of Van Winkle whiskeys this coming fall. A few months ago, I interviewed Preston Van Winkle about the 2011 release after an internet kerfuffle broke out over its provenance. We all knew that the stocks of Stitzel-Weller whiskey would not last forever and it appears that this fall's release of Pappy 20 year old will contain Stitzel-Weller blended with wheated bourbon made by Buffalo Trace. Other expressions in the Van Winkle line contain bourbon made by the Bernheim Distillery, now Heaven Hill, which United Distillers used to make wheated recipe bourbon for the Old Fitzgerald and Weller labels after it closed Stitzel-Weller.
For the whiskey geeks among us, it's tempting to get worked up about these issues. As I've stated before, I would like to see a regulation requiring American whiskeys to disclose their distillery of origin on the label, but that's highly unlikely to happen. That being said, there are two things to consider if you find yourself getting obsessed about the composition of the latest Van Winkle bourbon.
First, the cult of Pappy is strong, but Stitzel-Weller bourbon, while good, is not the be all and end all of American whiskey. I've had some great Stitzel-Weller dusties, but I've also had some that were mediocre. There is a uniqueness to some of the older Stitzel-Wellers, but that uniqueness is, in part, about its subtlety and not overly compatible with lots of wood. The best Stitzel-Wellers I've had have been seven to twelve years old. In contrast, I've had some amazing old wheaters made at the Bernheim distillery. If anything, I think those Bernheim wheaters might age better than Stitzel-Weller over the long haul. And of course, Buffalo Trace also makes some great wheated bourbon as part of their Weller line. So given that the Van Winkles are using a combination of whiskeys from those three distilleries for its bourbons, the quality of the bourbon is unlikely to suffer. They could do a lot worse.
Second, bourbon is not single malt. Unless it's bottled in bond, there is no requirement for bourbon to be made at a single distillery, and unless it is made at distilleries in different states, there is no way for the consumer to know at which distillery a non-bonded bourbon was made, particularly one from Kentucky with its many distilleries. When we drink a bourbon from Wild Turkey, Buffalo Trace or Heaven Hill, we assume that it was made at that distillery, but there is no way to know for sure absent sworn testimony by the master distiller. I've heard tell of all manner of contracting arrangements and even bulk sales between distilleries. We all know that, for years, Heaven Hill contracted with Brown Forman to make Rittenhouse Rye, but there may well be similar arrangements that we don't know about. In the end, we may know as little about the composition of any of these whiskeys as we do about Van Winkle.
I like whiskey history and I like knowing what I'm drinking, but in the end, what is most important for those of us who actually drink the stuff (as opposed to "investing" in it) is what's in the glass and how it tastes. In all of our heated discussion, which can be perfectly healthy, we shouldn't lose sight of that fact.

VERY RUDE. I called RN 5:48pm & the lady was A BITCH. Requires a REQ card. DUMB it's 2020.
The entire process was very easy to navigate considering I was in for a renewal and had my medical records in order. I urge all prospective patients to do the same as a courtesy to the clinic and to yourself. The doctor spent a good amount of time with me discussing my previous year's use of medicinal marijuana. I found that we had a lot in common so his insight was extremely helpful to me. I love the fact that I can renew online next year and that I was able to make an appointment. The other place I went to last year works on a first come first serve basis which creates a zoo like atmosphere. Thank You so much for taking the time to see me and listening to my needs and questions.
Dr is professional and compassionate, and. Very open to alternative medication. Very knowledgeable on a wide variety of medical marijuana
Trustworthy and quick! Excellent service fast and easy for new patients, looking forward to using this service for my renewal next time.
Easy eval. Renewal arrived in a few days. Definitely convenient especially if your super busy and don't have time. Will use again. Thanks.
Really was a Great experience. Was quick, easy- convenient and price was very decent. Friendly and helpful. Will definitely refer/recommend to other patients.
This was great! This was my first time getting a card, recommendation… all that good stuff. I've been having the worst anxiety lately from work. I was stressing about having to go to a doctor and get this stuff taken care of. This online place made it a breeze! I got my recommendation letter really quick, I actually think it went faster than the 10 minutes they claim. I'm so happy I have it, and I am stoked to do my first order. Thank goodness for this place! So happy!! Thank you!
I am a returning mmj patient and I really appreciate the fast and friendly service. They never let me down and always hook it up. Thank you to the staff!
Would highly recommend! The doctor answered my questions and was really informative on what would help with my situation. He was spot on too! So grateful I chose the right doctor I was afraid of getting someone not as knowledgeable. Will be recommending him to my family and friends!
Best customer service ever. The lady that helped me over the phone was so nice and helpful and explained everything so clearly and was truly a sincere person.
Expected it to be a hassle, but it was easy and the process was seamless. Thank you!
Just renewed. Cool people. I thought the pricing was good for a renewal
For patients looking for a good doctor and staff check out this place, nice clean and very friendly I would assure to refer all my people here if you need help.
The doctor was extremely informative! The service never disappoints! Prices are reasonable! I'll be renewing with them in a year!
The doctor made everything smooth and easy. He asked the right questions that target your pains or illnesses and he is attentive to his patients. He understands people come in case by case but he analyzes them to his best ability!
Great place, fast evaluation. Def recommend!
One of the best costamer service. Good quality and decent prices. Quick and friendly 🙃
I love this delivery service. The drivers are very knowledgeable and the meds are the best I have gotten in the AV. Top flight all the way
Awesome there just aren't enough words to describe how great this place is.
Great products and prices. Nice people 👍😁
Horrible experience. They don't respond to text messages. I was ordering like $400 worth of stuff and I waited 40 minutes after placing an order. Never heard back. Theres too many delivery services to put up with such terrible service from these people. I would give them no stars service.
Good prices
Ya how do you ask a question over the phone
horrible service

Orajel is the brand name of the topical numbing medicine benzocaine.
It's used to reduce pain caused by teething, cold sores, canker sores, and toothaches.
The drug is in class of medicines known as local anesthetics. It works by blocking nerve signals in the body.
Orajel comes in a variety of over-the-counter (OTC) formulations for adults and children, which include tablets, gels, rinses, swabs, liquids, ointments, and creams.
The medicine is manufactured by Church & Dwight Co., Inc.
Medicines that contain benzocaine may cause a life-threatening condition known as methemoglobinemia, which causes the amount of oxygen in your blood to become dangerously low.
In 2011, the FDA issued a warning about the risk of this condition in young children.
Don't use Orajel with benzocaine in a child younger than two years old without talking to your doctor.
Some formulations of children's Orajel contain benzocaine, while others don't. Check your product labels carefully.
Don't use Orajel that contains benzocaine if you've ever had methemoglobinemia.
Get emergency medical help right away if you experience any of the following symptoms while using Orajel:
Be sure to only use the recommended amount of Orajel. Taking too much of a numbing medicine can cause serious or life-threatening side effects if it's absorbed through your skin and into your blood.
Don't use large amounts of Orajel or apply to large areas of the body.
Stop using this medicine and contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms don't improve or worsen after seven days.
Talk to a doctor before using this medicine if you have or have ever had:
Also, tell your physician if you smoke before using Orajel.
It's not known whether Orajel will harm an unborn baby.
Don't use this medicine while pregnant without first talking to your doctor.
It's also not known whether the drug passes into breast milk or could harm a breastfeeding baby.
Talk to your doctor before using Orajel if you're breastfeeding.
Tell your doctor if any of the following side effects become severe or don't go away:
Tell your doctor immediately if you experience any of the symptoms listed in the Warning section or any of the following serious side effects:
Tell your doctor about all prescription, non-prescription, illegal, recreational, herbal, nutritional, or dietary drugs you're taking while using Orajel.
Use Orajel exactly as your product label recommends. Don't take more or less of the medicine.
Most formulations of Orajel can be applied to the affected area up to four times a day, but you should check your product label for specific instructions.
Avoid eating for about one hour after using Orajel on your gums or inside the mouth.
Try not to swallow the gel, liquid, or ointment.
If you suspect an overdose, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately.
You can get in touch with a poison control center at 800-222-1222.
Orajel is typically taken on as-needed basis, so you might not be on a dosing schedule.
However, if you're on a schedule and you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember.
Skip the missed dose if it's almost time for your next dose. Don't take extra medicine to make up for a missed dose.

65th EMMY® AWARDS TELECAST TO FEATURE SPECIAL IN MEMORIAM TRIBUTES
Special Remembrances of James Gandolfini, Gary David Goldberg, Cory Monteith, Jean Stapleton and Jonathan Winters
NoHo Arts District, Calif. – Sept. 16, 2013 – This year's Emmy Awards will feature the traditional "In Memoriam" segment that has become an industry award show staple, and in addition, the telecast producers have selected five individuals who warrant special recognition. To honor them, close friends and co-workers have been invited to provide personal tributes which will be presented during the ceremony, held at the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles and telecast live on Sunday, Sept. 22, (8:00 PM, ET / 5:00 PM, PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Those who will provide special tributes include Edie Falco, who will remember "Sopranos" co-star James Gandolfini; Michael J. Fox, who will pay tribute to "Family Ties" producer Gary David Goldberg; Jane Lynch will remember her friend and "Glee" co-star Cory Monteith; Rob Reiner will pay tribute to his long-time "All in the Family" cast member Jean Stapleton; and Robin Williams will remember his friend and mentor Jonathan Winters ("Mork and Mindy").
"The 'In Memoriam' is a very emotional and evocative segment for the Emmys, or any annual awards program," said Executive Producer Ken Ehrlich. "These five individuals brought us such great entertainment and joy, so having their close friends share personal remembrances is something that will be very meaningful for television audiences across the country and across the generations. And our traditional 'In Memoriam' segment will be presented in a unique new format that will give added importance to an already much anticipated segment of the Emmy show."
Ehrlich was one of the first producers to enhance the "In Memoriam" feature when he added a live musical component during the Grammys 10 years ago. Following the traditional remembrance segment, he produced a live performance of The Clash's "London Calling" with Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Dave Grohl and others in tribute to Joe Strummer, who died earlier that year.
The 65th Emmy Awards are executive produced by Ken Ehrlich. Neil Patrick Harris is both host and producer, and the telecast is directed by Louis J. Horvitz for AEG Ehrlich Ventures, LLC in association with the Television Academy. If you plan to Tweet this story, please use #Emmys and mention the official Emmys Twitter handle @primetimeemmys.

No napkins are necessary, just an iPhone or an iPod touch and of course 99 cents. You didn't think staring at your favorite cookie was free did you?
"Believe it or not, Mmm Cookies didn't make me go insane for a 2 p.m. sugar fix--it actually took the edge off and definitely distracted me for just long enough to jump back into grading papers," Chris Vadnais, a San Antonio-based undergraduate communications instructor, said about the app, according to Mmm Cookies.
Hmm. We'd still prefer if our iPhone actually made us fresh cookies we could eat. That would be an app we'd pay 99 cents for.


text: CptLysander 0 Posted September 14, 2010 As the proud owner of one too many collector's edition books that just sit on the shelf without use I started to think. I'm never going to sell these books, their monetary value in the future while it may increase will never increase past their personal and nostalgic value to me. I had the previous version of the Warhammer Fantasy collector's book sit on my shelf having never once been used while an entire edition of the game came and went rendering the book now permanently a shelf decoration. So the other week I dragged my Rogue Trader book out of its containment vessel and brought it to the game. It felt good honestly. Where does everyone else stand on use these beautiful pieces of work to their gaming table? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would like to always have 1 group expanded (so that each will only contract when swapped with another). No more than one should be open at a time. And I am not worried about whether or not persist works.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

NanoDays 2009: What went well & what you'd do differently next time.
LeHigh University and the Da Vinci Science Center sent us an addendum to their NanoDays 2009 Report, which didn't surprise me considering how creatively they've summarized their prior NanoDays experiences.
You can read the entire report here (PDF download), but I want to call out specifically their answers to the following two questions:
What went well about our event: We had even larger participation by student volunteers than in 2008. There were also several new activities this year, and the topics were more uniformly interesting than in our first attempt. The children were excited by the activities and the parents were very complimentary about the content and the delivery. The Da Vinci Center was extremely helpful with preparing the space and assisting us with activity planning. The undergraduate students were enthusiastic and many learned about aspects of nanotechnology with which they had previously been unfamiliar. The lunchtime presentation, delivered for the first time, offered a useful break for the student presenters. In it we were able to do some things that were too dangerous (e.g., breaking glass) or expensive to perform multiple times. We gathered feedback from the student volunteers immediately after the event so we'll have a record of needed improvements for 2010.
What we'd do differently next time: Wider advertising in the general media. Look for funding from a foundation or company to support the NSF funds provided by the faculty organizers. Improved flow of visitors beginning at a "welcome" table. A map (and maybe an "information scavenger hunt") handed out at the Science Center admissions desk. Slight adjustments to several of the activities to improve the hands-on experience for the children.
How do your answers differ?
Login and leave a comment below and tell us what you did well and what you'd do differently next time.

Top prospect Heaney tosses gem for Jacksonville
Marlins No. 1 prospect Andrew Heaney allowed just one hit in six shutout innings Tuesday night, helping Double-A Jacksonville to a 4-0 victory at Chattanooga.
Heaney, ranked No. 28 on MLB.com's Top 100 Prospect list, struck out five batters as he extended his scoreless innings streak to 12. He generated nine groundouts and pitched efficiently, needing 84 pitches to beat the Dodgers affiliate.
Heaney has breezed through the Minor Leagues since the Marlins picked him ninth overall in the 2012 First-Year Player Draft out of Oklahoma State. He threw 33 consecutive scoreless innings last season between Class A Advanced Jupiter and Jacksonville and is once again at peak form to start this year. In 17 innings over three starts this season, the left-hander has a 1.56 ERA and a 16-to-3 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
Relievers Grant Dayton and James Nygren combined for three shutout innings to close out the one-hitter Tuesday. Catcher J.T. Realmuto, the Marlins No. 9 prospect, led the Suns offense. He went 3-for-5 with a double and a run. Heaney even helped his own cause at the plate, driving in a run with a sacrifice bunt.

Aging, Shrinking Labor "Problem" Forces Japanese Human Resource Innovation
13 September 2010—The world's population is aging, and Japan is by far the most severely affected nation. Yet Japanese organizations have not prepared themselves well.
The Japanese population "reached its peak in 2005," observes Florian Kohlbacher, Senior Research Fellow and Head of the Business & Economics Section at the German Institute for Japanese Studies in Tokyo. "Since 2005, the population has been shrinking and aging, and these demographic changes have since become major drivers in the Japanese economy," Kohlbacher said.
While challenging on many levels, the Japanese case presents opportunities for learning, because Japan is ahead of most of the world in terms of demographic change. At the same time, rethinking the retirement age and the resulting changes in the Japanese workforce makeup also offers businesses an occasion for innovation.
Japanese society is shortly expected to experience a Baby Boomer exodus from the workforce, ominously termed the "Year 2007 Problem." Indeed, Japanese Boomer retirement has been predicted to reduce the Japanese labor force by 10 million workers by the year 2030, and by fully 22 million by the year 2050. There are a total of 10.7 million Japanese Boomers. In 2006, 8.2 million of these were actively working, equaling more than 12% of the entire labor force. The "Year 2007 Problem" refers to the year in which the first Japanese Boomers turn 60, and thus move into mandatory retirement, potentially crippling Japanese business from the widespread loss of industry-specific knowledge.
A major reason for concern among Japanese businesses is that Japanese corporate culture has a very distinctive management approach, especially within large organizations. Knowledge is primarily tacit, or taken for granted, and frequently absorbed over long periods of time as workers slowly advance through organizations as they age. Subtleties associated with this type of knowledge, though, are difficult to quantify, document, or access for a new hire.
This potential loss of knowledge and talent is highlighting a gap in workforce planning and sustainability. "Japanese companies have been successful because their products are so good," comments Kohlbacher. "So, traditionally, Japanese firms have not had a strong focus on human resources management on a strategic level. That's changing. Not on the national level—it's about corporate culture. Japanese businesses are realizing that human resource management is not as developed or leveraged as strategically as it should."
Florian Kolbacher presented on Management Implications of Demographic Change in Japan: An Innovation Perspective in August 2010. For more on the subject, please read Florian's article "Baby Boomer: What happened to the 'Year 2007 Problem?' in the April 2010 edition of ACCJ Journal.

Albion College has announced the appointment of Matthew vandenBerg as associate vice president for development. VandenBerg, who is currently assistant dean for development and alumni relations at the Indiana University School of Informatics and Computing, will join the College's Office of Institutional Advancement on January 13, 2014.
"Matt vandenBerg will be a fantastic addition to the advancement program at Albion College," said Joshua Merchant, vice president for institutional advancement. "He is a knowledgeable and driven fundraiser who will bring added depth and skill to our growing development program. In addition, Matt is passionate about the liberal arts having attended Alma College as an undergraduate."
In his new role, vandenBerg will lead the College's major gifts program, corporate and foundation relations, prospect management, research, donor relations and stewardship, and advancement services.
VandenBerg brings extensive fundraising experience to the position. During his nearly three-year tenure at Indiana University, he has planned and launched an ambitious campaign and significantly increased both annual giving and the alumni giving participation rate. As an executive with the consulting firm CCS Fund Raising from 2007 to 2011, he raised over $50 million for academic and research institutions, while directing five major capital and endowment campaigns. In this position, vandenBerg also recruited and trained over 300 top executives, board members, and other volunteers to play leadership roles in campaign fundraising.
Prior to his time with CCS Fund Raising, vandenBerg served as a legislative assistant and deputy press secretary for Congressman Pete Hoekstra from mid-2005 through 2006. He also advised Hoekstra on key issues related to foreign affairs, national defense, and banking policy, and assisted with media relations.
"I have tremendous respect and admiration for Albion College and am thrilled for the opportunity to join the talented advancement team during this important and exciting time," vandenBerg said. "I look forward to partnering closely with the College's leadership, trustees, alumni, and friends to help elevate the advancement program to new heights."
A summa cum laude graduate of Alma College, vandenBerg earned a master of public affairs degree from the Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs, specializing in nonprofit management and policy analysis. He became a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) in 2012.
VandenBerg's wife, Melissa, has held several professional positions in the elementary education field. They have a 10-month-old son, Jackson.

In the early 1960s they wouldn't let us near Fortran until we'd had a year of Algol, but a friend knew a corner of a lab where, after loading a paper tape, using an oscilloscope for the display, you could play SpaceWar! I was grateful when microprocessors came along, freeing us from those boards of logic, and grateful for the Kim 1, a whole development system for $100, and the MOS Tech 6502 @ $20/ea, which meant guys in a garage could build some cool stuff.
I sent my first email around 1980, to a colleague across the lab, and soon we were hooked up to uucp and Usenet, and Phil Hughes and a guy at Fluke, whose name escapes me now, sold us a C compiler for the chips we were using, all Unix and gcc, no M$ anywhere. A few years later Phil would take over Linux Journal, and would point me to Robert and Eskimo as the ISP of choice. Eskimo was reachable from home via dialup to a foreign exchange, so I've been jimo here ever since.
I had plans to set up a website for my wife, an artist, but she interrupted that project by passing away a decade ago. I like to think of her having become Artist In Residence at Dog Heaven. I took a few years off from tech gadgetry to let a Border Collie teach me about training, and now I'm back, the skeptical new owner of a shiny little smartphone, contemplating Arduino projects and Android apps, enjoying some of the amazing live music happening all over the Pacific Northwest.

CRUZ BARRIOS, María Aida et al. Adverse events after treatment with the transfer factor. Rev Cubana Salud Pública [online]. 2012, vol.38, n.1, pp.20-28. ISSN 0864-3466.
Introduction: the transfer factor is an immunologic stimulant used in a wide range of diseases. Its safety and efficiency have been evaluated in pre-registration clinical trials, but little is known about its safety margin under regular practical conditions, hence the need of closely watching its use and setting the benefit-risk relation. Objectives: to identify adverse events in patients treated with the transfer factor and to determine the level of association of the drug and the observed adverse event and severity. Methods: prospective, multicentered, descriptive and observational study of active drug surveillance. Two hundred and eighty two patients, who were attended by their physicians from April 2001 to April 2002 in 9 hospitals of Havana, were observed for one year after the end of a treatment with the transfer factor. The occurrence of adverse events as well as their severity, association with the drug, the number of events per patient, the supplied dosage and the age of the patient was all analyzed. Results: in this group of patients, 13.8 % had at least one adverse effect; 38.5 % were aged 45 to 59 years. The treatment schemes with high and prolonged dosage did not cause any further event. Eighty adverse effects were identified, 55 % mild and 80 % were considered as unlikely related with the drug. None of them was definitive or probable whereas fever, arthralgia, dysnea, myalgia, allergy and asthenia were considered as possible mild adverse reactions. Conclusions: most of adverse events during the year after the end of treatment with the transfer factor were mild and unrelated to the use of the drug. However, the drug manufacturers should advise professionals and patients on the possible occurrence of adverse reactions.
Palabras clave : Transfer factor; adverse reactions; adverse events; adverse effects; drug surveillance; drug epidemiology.

Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men and women combined. But we're here to let you know that this is absolutely preventable!
Routine screenings can prevent colorectal cancer. There are several screening options, including some you can even do at home. It's best to talk to your doctor about your options and decide which screening plan is right for you.
Prevent Colorectal Cancer
This year, 50,000 people will die from colorectal cancer. An estimated 60% of those deaths can be prevented with screenings. To learn more about the number of people diagnosed each year and whether that number is increasing, check out the facts and stats about colorectal cancer.
Get Screened
To prevent colorectal cancer, screenings are absolutely necessary. Colonoscopies allow doctors to proactively remove growths in the colon and rectum before they can become cancerous. Other tests can be done at home, and a doctor will follow-up with you if more tests are needed based on your results. See what screening options are available and work with your doctor to choose the right one for you.
Learn the Signs and Symptoms
Not all cases of colorectal cancer have signs and symptoms, but there are common issues that may appear to let you know something is wrong. Learn the signs and symptoms (that can appear at any age) and take note of what you're experiencing so you can disclose that information to your doctor.
Know Your Risks
Certain choices like what you eat and drink, or if you choose to smoke, can put you at a higher risk for colorectal cancer. There's also some health conditions that may increase your risk. To prevent colorectal cancer or catch it early (when it's easier to treat), regular screenings are essential. See what decisions or conditions might increase your risk.
Follow Your Family History
Does colorectal cancer run in your family? It's important to know this information, talk to your family and understand your genetic risk. We have tools to help you have those conversations and track your family's health history.

My wife (29) and I (33) just spent the most relaxing and romantic week at Sandals Whitehouse from March 5th to 12th. I have been reading reviews here for so many months so I think I knew everything about this resort before we arrived. The positive reviews motivated me to go and the negative ones moderated my expectations but in the end they didn't need to be moderated as Sandals Whitehouse exceeded all of high hopes. Getting a room upgrade at check-in without asking for it probably helped.
We have stayed at other 5 star AI resorts in the Dominican Republic and the Riviera Maya but this was our favourite vacation yet. After 7 days we came home (unwillingly) feeling refreshed physically and reinvigorated romantically.
Everybody else will describe the rooms, food, pools, bars, beach, airport transfer etc so I won't rehash everything they already have said. For me a great vacation is all about the experience and our experience was fantastic.
A major contributing factor to that experience was the staff who are so friendly, helpful and fun we found this great attitude rubbed off on the guests as well. This was the first resort we have ever visited where all the guests say hello to each other, chat openly and have fun in the bars, restaurants, pools and beach. This incredible atmosphere made us great every day, so much so that after only 3 days we booked our next vacation at Sandals Whitehouse next year.
One other noteworthy point (as Sandals virgins) is the included water sports. We are used to paying for lots of extras but with Sandals we went reef snorkelling and sailing in the Hobiecats almost every day. For medical reasons I was unable to take the opportunity to go scuba diving which was also included and that blew my mind.
For anybody going to Sandals Whitehouse these are my tips:
1. The aim of your vacation is to have fun and relax. Don't get caught up on silly little details as you will be the one that loses out.
2. Have fun with the Jamaican staff. Learn a few words or phrases in Jamaican patois. Just ask them and they will give you a few. You will have fun and the look of surprise on their faces when you use the phrases unexpectedly is priceless.
3. You know the old phrase "no pain no gain". When it comes to the airport transfer the pain is minor and brief but the gain is so well worth it.

My husband and I had a fantastic stay at Whitehouse..
Your Arrival:
a bit of a mix up, we had to go for lunch because our room wasn't ready in time, and all the other guests were assigned to their room..was a bit frustrated, but what can you do..
rooms were nice, we stayed in the French Village, pool and oceanview, beautiful view..our room was nicer last year when we stayed at Sandals Royal Carribean in Montego Bay..but this one was very nice also..
Restaurants and Bars:
Food was great, my favorite was Elenor's surf and turf, very tasty..also our favorite was the Cafe de Paris..great pasteries, and our nightly Iris Coffee's..very friendly..excellent food all around..
the grounds were paradise, very clean, and very beautiful, gorgeous property..the pools were also very clean..just absolutely breathtaking..
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel:
we went on the appleton rum tour, very nice outing, we got to see alot of Jamaica, and the beauty of the mountains..the only thing was the driving that scared me..but glad we went on that venture..
Other Comments:
We had a fantastic stay at Whitehouse, we would definately go back..too bad the only draw back is the 90 minute bus ride to get there..
this is our 2nd Sandals experience and we were not dissappointed..
Thank you for another memorable experience..the people in Jamaica are fantastic, and can't do enough for you..

We went on our dream honeymoon and everything was wonderful. The food, service, etc. Our last evening was ruined after we had reported earlier in the week of our TV being broken. The last night we were told we had 1 hour to collect money and pay $350 or our ride to the airport would be going to the attorities. Both my wife and I were interrogated. we were told to call the states and even have money sent. We were told that we were liable for the tv even though they could not prove we broke it and even stated that it was very unlikely that the maid service could have done it.
may 14, 2011
Other Comments:
We sent letters after getting safely home and paying for the TV that we did not break. If you are a young couple and go out of the states even being a huge company as sandals you need to keep your guard up at all times

Charming resort. Grounds well kept. Great choice of restaurants and bars. Everything looks wonderful on the surface.
Problems start when you start having a closer look. Untrained staff, long waiting times to the restaurants, orders that never arrive, rooms that need refreshing (water leaking from the ceiling, rugs you are afraid to step on, water barely sprinkling from the shower, etc...)
There were robes missing in our room, and just one towel when we arrived although we opted for penthouse honeymoon suite with butler service. Takes a day to sort everything out, and then the stay is enjoyable, providing you use your butler for all services, instead of trying to venture on your own. When you do, expect frustration and disappointment. I guess they think you being on vacations have time for waiting in lines and slow service is no problem.
Then, there is spa. We prepaid our services, and that was a mistake. No point here to get into details, but we just walked out before our massages started.
The beach looks great, but again, you have to step into sea weed or "slimy" sand before water covers your chest. The best part of the beach is actually to the west beyond resorts' border. Strange, but true.
Overall, you can probably spend your money better somewhere else.

In 2011 my daughter go married.It was the best vacation ever. We stayed for 7 days. My son like it so much that he decided to get married at the resort.
This year (2012) we stayed for 10 days. Both times in the French Village.
Room Number:
Room Block:
The people working didn't seem to be as joyful as last year.
Our reservation name was wrong. My spouse was correct, however, it was not my name it was someone else. Had to go back to registration office to get it fix.
I call for my AC to be fix, a dehumidificateur was brought to the room, it help, however, the AC was not better. I was taking my shower at 1600hrs everynight before supper and the water pressure was very poor, one night no water was coming out for a short time.
Restaurants and Bars:
The food was excellent as always.
The dress code at Jasmine was not enforced one night.People with short and sandals.
At Elenore it was enforced and appreciated.
The French Village pool was not very clean it was full of debris. The organized sport (volleyball) was not organize half the time. The moderator was not motivated like last year, last year names and room number were taken, this year only at times.
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel:
Scuba excellent service.
SPA to get ready for wedding: my spouse had to rush for the ceremony.
Beach BBQ excellent.
Beach party excellent.
Le cabaret excellent.
Appreciation dinner: Our name was not on the list.
Other Comments:
I'm comparing to last year (2011) it was a perfect vacation. Like they say in Jamaica No Problem.(5 stars)
This year (2012) lot more things went wrong. This is the reason I say 3 stars.

We were at the Sandals Whitehouse Resort from August 13-20, 2012. Our first room was a concierge room and after we had been in the room for about 40 minutes we got a call from the manager telling us that we needed to come to his office. When we got there Carl talked to us for about 20 minutes and then asked if we would like an upgrade on our room. I had a puzzled look and then said upgrade? Well, we got put in a Butler room and it was AMAZING!!! Our butlers Chris and Ansiley along with Shree(an intern), made our honeymoon an unforgettable trip. They were constantly surprising us with desserts, snack foods, and turning our room into an oasis. The bartenders along with restaurant staff were great. The food was good but they could have had more true european fare. We will definately be going back even if we don't get the butler room upgrade.

We arrived on Monday, August 13th and the staff at the Sandals Resort's truly make you feel special.

There are a lot of activities for couples to do if you want and then again you can just lounge around if that is what you prefer to do as a couple
Other Comments:
This was the a time for me and my husband to unwind and enjoy our time together and this resort was exactly what the doctor ordered.

Well, folks, I've done it. I've sold my CTS-V Wagon. At least, I think I've sold it. What's actually happened is that I've spent the last week on the phone with the buyer's bank, who has insisted on verifying every single portion of this transaction, including my date of birth, my home address, the hypothetical name I would give a dog if I had one, the total number of little hairs on my right leg, etc.
I find this highly unusual considering the buyer and I have the same bank, a fact I've brought up with them repeatedly. But they're undeterred. They will probably call before I finish this column and ask for my favorite movie villain.
And it's not like I can refuse to answer any of their questions. Oh, no. I've tried. "Sir," they'll say, "We're going to need the password to your wireless Internet so if we're ever in the Atlanta area we can come by, sit on your porch, and surf our favorite Tumblr blogs without using the data plan on our phones." And If I balk at this request, if I even hesitate for a moment, they'll reply: "I'm sorry sir, but are you telling me you think you can find some other poor sap to pay forty grand for a used Cadillac station wagon?"
And they make a good point. There isn't a huge market for this car. But damn, there should be, as I've discovered over the last six months behind the wheel.
Now, before I go any further, I think it's important to mention that I've created a little farewell video to my Cadillac. It's located here, and also at the bottom of this column, and it covers a lot of highly important Cadillac-related questions you might have, such as: Is your haircut really awful in real life? (This is the kind of highly important Cadillac-related question I expect to receive from the buyer's bank.)
But while the video touches on performance and drivability, I'm going to discuss a few of the car's finer points right here in good, old-fashioned, traditional print. Prepare yourself.
Let's start with cost. Although the selling prices of these cars are pretty public, you might be curious what I spent to run a CTS-V Wagon for the past six months. The answer to this can be defined technically as "very little," unless of course you add in fuel costs, in which case the technical definition changes to "HOLY CRAP WHY THE HELL DID I BUY THIS THING? IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT? LIKE MAYBE THE FUEL TANK IS LEAKING?"
Actual repair costs were relatively small. I had to patch a tire ($25), get an oil change ($52), and – here's the kicker – replace one flat rear tire for a whopping $470.34. So my lesson to you future CTS-V Wagon owners is for God's sake don't poke holes in your tires.
Depreciation was a little more expensive. It'll total around $4,000, which sounds like a lot until you realize that I drove the thing 12,000 miles in the last six months, including 6,300 miles to California and back in August. So here's another lesson for future CTS-V Wagon owners: if you want to save your money, don't drive your CTS-V Wagon. And especially don't put gas in it.
Why I'm Selling and What's Next
You may be wondering why I'm selling the V Wagon. This will especially perplex regular readers, who know its departure leaves me with just a Nissan Cube and an unreliable SUV, both of which are highly prized by middle-aged women, but not as appreciated by, say, the kind of person who reads Jalopnik.
And it's true. With the V's departure, my life won't be quite as exciting as it is today, what with all the pushing down my foot and listening to the transmission shift for me. But my reasons for selling are nuanced and complicated and highly intricate, and also my accountant called and said: "Doug, you idiot! You need to sell this thing by the end of the year if you want to deduct any expenses from your taxes." And boy, do I ever!
So the V Wagon has to go. But there's good news: selling the V Wagon frees one of my rutted, alley-access parking spaces for something else! Something similarly exciting! Something fast! Something unique! Something… with a manual.
But I'd rather discuss that potential something tomorrow, when I'll be devoting an entire column to it. So, spend the next 24 hours brainstorming. I, meanwhile, will spend the next 24 hours bracing for your suggestions the only way I know how: vast skepticism. (This is primarily directed at the guy last time who suggested I purchase a 25-seat troop transporter.)
Overall Impressions
To know me is to know I love cars, and at last count I've had more than two dozen. The CTS-V Wagon is easily in the top three.
Yes, it has flaws – they all do. The visibility is so bad that driving it feels like getting behind the wheel of a standard, normal vehicle, except with a blanket over your head. And there are a few obvious spots where they cut corners to save money, in true General Motors fashion. But I highly recommend the V Wagon to anyone looking for a fun, unique vehicle to haul stuff. For more on that, here's the farewell video:
Now if you'll excuse me, the bank is calling to ask how I've arranged the furniture in my living room.

September 9 1996-Go Out the Straits and Turn Left
"Go out the straits and turn left."
How many times had we heard that?
Many times. Now we were doing it. This was our dream.
We're headed south, for San Francisco, and beyond. No agenda. No itinerary. No schedule. It could be about a six day passage, if we sailed straight down, but we might never be back to this coast again; so we'd decided to stop and see some of the ports along the way.
Neah Bay was socked in when we passed and the sea was glassy, but the cape was in the clear, and there was a slight breeze out of the SW, enough to sail on, so we set the genoa, and sailed out to sea, then down the coast.
Cape Flattery
The fog rolled back in and was solid and the wind came in fits and stops all the way to Newport, Oregon, our first stop. We tied up at the commercial wharf with the fishing fleet, and drank in the working men's saloons along the waterfront.
Newport Oregon
The leg to Eureka, CA was worse. No wind and dense fog. We motored, seeing nothing, hearing nothing, for two days. Even though we found the leading light just off the entrance, and the end of the jetty, we couldn't tell which side of it held the channel. We waited until a fish boat passed and followed him in.
But Eureka was good. We saw palm trees and pelicans, and we felt that this was really California, and we visited Ed and Sharon Fracker, who live there.
After Eureka we got wind, lots of wind, along with blue skies, sunshine, and big waves.
At times there was too much wind. On one occasion, as the wind and waves increased, Judy, not trusting the autopilot or windvane, wanted me to steer. I disconnected the wind vane and took the helm. Then the wind increased further and I had my hands full. Sails needed to be taken down, but I was trapped at the helm. Judy had to do it. The jib was no problem, she went up on the foredeck in her harness and kneepads and handed the sail. The main, however, was another matter. In 40 knots of wind it is hard to reef the main, very hard. But somewhere she found the resources and inch by inch she pulled down that sail and finally we got the second reef tied in. Then the wind dropped to nothing. That's sailing.
The rest of the stops to San Francisco are a blur now, but we sailed under the Golden Gate 19 days after leaving the Straits of Juan de Fuca.

Various enzymes in the body are involved in both the breakdown and activation of drugs.
Your response to peripherally acting antihypertensives such as losartan and irbesartan is also
determined in part by the activity of your enzymes. This means that the effectiveness and side
effects of these antihypertensives can be predicted to some extent on the basis of your genes.
DNA analysis can therefore be an important tool in optimising your medication.
An iGene Passport will give you an insight into your own DNA profile within 6 weeks. Amongst other things, you will receive practical information on your sensitivity to certain drugs. By sharing this information with your doctor, you increase the likelihood that he or she will select the right drugs and dosage for you more quickly.
PLEASE NOTE: you should NEVER stop or change your medication yourself; always consult a doctor. Your iGene Passport is only intended to inform you about scientific knowledge of drugs in relation to your DNA profile. It is not a medical tool.
If you make use of the iGene message service, you will continue to receive information based on the latest scientific insights.

Brits spend an average of just 4.3 minutes each day on breakfast according to new research.
The nation is stuck in a breakfast rut, with time-poor Brits struggling to overcome morning mealtime monotony, according to research by Lyle's Golden Syrup®.
Findings show that on average Brits spend as little as 4.3 minutes a day having their breakfast - that's less time than your average commercial break, boiling an egg or peeling a kilo of potatoes.
Glasgow is the most time-poor city, with almost a quarter spending three minutes or less on breakfast, compared to those based in Aberystwyth, who prefer taking time in the morning, with well 60 per cent spending 10 minutes or more on the meal.
Not only do Brits struggle to find the time to have breakfast, but when they do, the majority admit to eating the same thing daily. Cereal (37 per cent), toast (24 per cent) and porridge (12 per cent) topped the poll of most popular breakfast choices – however the nation are pining for more variety at breakfast time, with almost a quarter stating they'd like to try something new.
To help Brits overcome the morning rut and provide some breakfast inspiration, Lyle's Golden Syrup® has collaborated with acclaimed writer, cook, food stylist and presenter, Jo Pratt, to create time-saving, delicious and easy breakfast recipes.
She said: "Breakfast is the most important part of the morning, so I want to get Brits excited about their first meal of the day again. We understand that people are increasingly time-poor in the mornings, but that doesn't mean they need to stick to the same-old cereal or toast day-in, day-out, as there are a number of delicious meals that can be prepared in five minutes or less that are sure to brighten their day."
Jo's top tips for avoiding morning mayhem:
1. Don't leave things to the last minute: If you find you have 15 minutes spare in the evening, prepare the kids' lunch and get their clothes out and ready for the next morning, so as you have more time to relax and enjoy breakfast.
2. Set your alarm for 10 minutes earlier: Setting your alarm 10 minutes before you actually need to get up gives you the chance to settle before the day starts and allows you thinking time to prepare for the day ahead.
3. Try something different for breakfast: Alternating between cereal, toast and something a little different, like a delicious homemade breakfast bar with Lyle's Golden Syrup, gives you the energy to power through the morning, avoiding that breakfast monotony.
4. Indulge in something you love: Allow yourself the time to indulge in something you love, whether it's listening to music, taking an extra-long hot shower or enjoying a coffee on the back patio. Finding the time to do something you love will set you up for a brighter, more enjoyable day.
5. Never leave the house without a full belly: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so eating something nutritious and filling is the perfect way to avoid the morning blues.

Silicone rubber
Silicone rubber is characterized by high thermal resistance and can withstand temperatures ranging from –70 to +160 °C (–90 to +320 °F). Silicone rubber absorbs lubricants, thereby minimizing friction and wear. SKF silicone rubber seals are particularly suitable for applications with very low or very high temperatures and for low-friction sealing of bearing arrangements. They are not very resistant to oxidized oils or certain EP additives and should be protected against abrasive substances. Sealing lips made of silicone rubber should not be exposed to dry running.

Java Singleton Example – Thread safe Singleton in Java using Enum
One point which is worth remembering is that, when we talk about thread-safe Singleton, we are talking about thread-safety during instance creation of Singleton class and not when we call any method of Singleton class. If your Singleton class maintain any state and contains method to modify that state, you need to write code to avoid and thread-safety and synchronization issues. Any way here is code example of creating thread safe Singleton in Java using Enum.
public void show(){
System.out.println("Singleton using Enum in Java");
Java Singleton Example - Thread Safe Singleton using Static field Initialization
private static final Singleton INSTANCE = new Singleton();
private Singleton(){ }
public static Singleton getInstance(){
return INSTANCE;
public void show(){
System.out.println("Singleon using static initialization in Java");

Custom Promotional Products for the Financial Industry
In an age of economic uncertainty, it's more important than ever for banks to communicate their reliability to customers and financial items can help do just that. These products spread the name of your bank to ears all over and therefore create exposure for your brand. That way, Jane Doe has already heard of your bank when she needs to set up an account, and is therefore more likely to come to you because she's seen your name on pens and letter openers and other financial items. Once she sets up her account, you can reassure her that she made the right decision by presenting her with a bag full of goodies with your logo on them. She will feel grateful to you for the free gifts, and she is likely to take home the products and share them with friends and family. When someone feels a sense of gratitude toward you for even a small gift, they are likely to speak positively about their experience to others.

How to Write a Resume: Examples of What Not to Do
In the time it takes you to read this paragraph, the average recruiter will have plowed through six resumes. (We know; we timed one.) Want to increase the chances of your resume making it to the next round? Then don't do any of these seven things, which recruiters say — more than anything — make them want to push the "shred" button.
(For more resume tips, check out our interactive critique of an actual resume.)
1. Apply for a job for which you are not remotely qualified
Many candidates believe the job hunt is a numbers game — drop enough resumes, and you're bound to land something. But shotguns are for hunting pheasant, not finding jobs. The reality is that recruiters hate wasting time on resumes from unqualified candidates. Morgan Miller, an executive recruiter at StaffMark, recalls the security guard who applied to be a financial risk manager (maybe Lehman should have hired him), while Scott Ragusa at Winter, Wyman talks of the aerial photographer who sought out a position as a tax specialist.
"Sorting through unqualified resumes is frustrating, unproductive and puts an extra burden on staff," says Katherine Swift, Senior Account Director at KCSA Strategic Communications in Natick, Mass. "It also makes it much more challenging to find the right candidate." So the next time you're thinking of blasting out resumes to all 60 of the job listings on Monster.com that have the word "finance" in them , save your time (and that of the recruiters) and only apply for ones for which you're qualified.
2. Include a lofty mission statement
More than ever, today's savage job market is about the company, not the candidate. As such, mission or objective statements — particularly ones with an applicant's hopes, dreams, and health insurance aspirations — will dispatch otherwise fine resumes to the circular file. Employers don't care about how they can solve your problems — certainly not before they've met you and possibly not even after they've hired you. Instead, write an "objectives" statement that explains specifically how your skills and experience will help the company you're applying to, not the other way around. And be very clear about what kind of job you're seeking.
3. Use one generic resume for every job listing
To stand out amongst the sea of resumes that recruiters receive, yours must speak to each and every specific position, even recycling some of the language from the job description itself. Make it obvious that you will start solving problems even before you've recorded your outgoing voicemail message. Your CV or query letter should include a just touch of industry lingo — sufficient to prove you know your stuff but not so much that you sound like a robot. And it should speak to individual company issues and industry challenges, with specifics on how you have personally improved customer loyalty, efficiency, and profitability at past jobs, says workplace and performance consultant Jay Forte. Plus, each morsel should be on point.
"Think hard about how to best leverage each piece of information to your job search advantage," says Wendy Enelow, a career consultant and trainer in Virginia. "Nothing in your resume should be arbitrary, from what you include in your job descriptions and achievement statements, to whether your education or experience comes first [recent grads may want to put education first] to how you format your contact information."
4. Make recruiters or hiring managers guess how exactly you can help their client
Sourcing experts want to know — immediately — what someone can offer, and they won't spend time noodling someone's credentials. "Animal, vegetable or mineral? Doctor, lawyer or Indian chief?That's what I'm wondering every time I open a resume. If it takes me more than a split second to figure this out, I feel frustrated," says Mary O'Gorman, a veteran recruiter based in Brooklyn.
5. Don't explain how past experience translates to a new position
Though candidates should avoid jobs where they have no experience, they absolutely should pursue new areas and positions if they can position their experience effectively. A high school English teacher applying for new jobs, for example, can cite expertise in human resource management, people skills, record keeping, writing, and training, says Anthony Pensabene, a professional writer who works with executives.
"Titles are just semantics; candidates need to relate their 'actual' skills and experiences to the job they're applying for in their resume," Pensabene says. An applicant who cannot be bothered to identify the parallels between the two likely won't be bothered with interviews, either.
6. Don't include a cover letter with your resume
A cover letter should always accompany a resume — even if it's going to your best friend. And that doesn't mean a lazy "I'm _____ and I'm looking for a job in New York; please see my attached resume." Says Lindsay Olson, a partner at Manhattan's Paradigm Staffing: "I'd like to know why you are contacting me (a particular position, referral, etc.), a short background about yourself, and a career highlight or two. It's important to attempt to set yourself apart from the competition."

7. Be careless with details
Reckless job hunters rarely make for conscientious workers. As such, even promising resumes must abide by age-old dictums: typo-free, proper organization, and no embellishment. Susan Whitcomb, author of Resume Magic: Trade Secrets of a Professional Resume Writer, says that almost 80 percent of HR managers she surveyed said they would dismiss otherwise qualified candidates who break these rules. She tells the story of one would-be employer who, when looking for an assistant, decided not to hire anyone because every resume she received contained typos.
"With a 6-to-1 ratio of jobseekers-to-jobs in the current marketplace, you can't afford to make mistakes with your resume," Whitcomb says.
