Murdered MP's kids help design memorial plaque at Commons
A memorial plaque for murdered MP Jo Cox will be unveiled in the House of Commons next month, bearing a coat of arms her children helped design.
The coat of arms has the motto 'More in Common', inspired by Ms Cox's maiden speech in the Commons in 2015.
The design, which will be unveiled on May 20, includes representations of her support for women in politics and the Cox family's love of the water and mountains.
Mrs Cox's children Cuillin (6) and Lejla (4) contributed to the design process and will unveil the memorial at a unique family day in Parliament, when MPs and staff will be invited to bring their children into the Commons chamber.
Commons Speaker John Bercow will answer questions from youngsters and then host a children's party - the first of the 'Great Get Together' events the Jo Cox Foundation is backing to mark the anniversary of her death.
Labour MP Mrs Cox was murdered by right-wing extremist Thomas Mair as she arrived to host a surgery in Birstall, in her Batley and Spen constituency, on the afternoon of June 16 last year.
Her death came just over a year after her maiden speech in the Commons in which she said "we are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us".
Mr Bercow said: "Jo Cox was recognised, both inside the House and by all who had the privilege to know her, for her empathy, conviction and her passion for what she believed in.
"It will be an honour to host the first of the Great Get Togethers in her memory. Jo - her life and legacy - will not be forgotten."
Labour MP Jess Phillips, who is carrying on her former colleague's work to make Parliament more family-friendly, said: "It will be amazing to see the chamber full of kids enjoying themselves and I'm sure it's exactly what my friend Jo would have wanted to see."
The main Great Get Together event will be held from June 16 to 18.

Question about Computers & Internet
Posted by dazadms on
I just purchased brand new system: P4 2.66GHz Quad with 4 Gb Mem. and an Nvidia G9500GT video card and using the LG W2242T monitor. I am having the exact same issue. Periodically the screen will go black. Moving the mouse or the keyboard usually brings it back. Sometimes I have to power off and on the monitor.
I am using the recommended display settings. If this is not fixed I may take the monitor back and get a different brand.
Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated!
I own a W2242T LG monitor. Yesterday I noticed a vertical line running from the top of the monitor to the bottom, about 3 and a 1/2 inches from the left side. Its colored light blue. Has anyone else experienced this?
I have exactly the same problem with my LG W2242T Monitor. Works fine with on board graphix but cannot run at 1650 x 1080. Tried on GeForce 6200, Card recognizes monitor & runs at this resolution, but blacks out regularly for about 1/2 to 1 second at a time. Not sure what problem is but am beginning to think that the computer power supply may be the problem. Is it possible that 350w is running low on juice when graphics performance is required. Note... it only seems to happen when a: Screen has a large amount of white (eg, when exploring files full screen or opening new web page) or b: when using Internet explorer. Have tried using compatibility mode, but to no avail.
Posted on Dec 05, 2009
According to your manual, the recommended resolution for this monitor is 1680 x 1050 @ 60 hz. Is this the display setting you are using? Manual is at http://www.lge.com/products/mobile/cdma_manulist_gcsc.jsp.
You should be able to use the driver supplied by the manufacturer, and it should not cause problems! If you are in the U.S., support contact info is at http://www.lge.com/support/gcscWrite.jsp, and includes phone number. Given that this monitor is new, I would suggest telephoning LG for support, and if it is not resolved sufficiently, returning the monitor. This monitor should run perfectly with the supplied driver, and if not, there is a hardware malfunction or conflict. LG should be able to tell you definitively if there is a way to solve the problem, and if not, suggest that you return and replace it.
Please post back if you need more help, otherwise thank you for using and rating FixYa!

Project courses
In their second semester students work on a 3-week practical group project. Normally, each group consists of 4-5 students. During this project course, students experience the whole software development cycle, i.e. specification, design, programming and testing. At the end of a course, each group gives an oral presentation of its project.
Thus, students are given the opportunity to apply the topics they have been exposed to during the regular semester.
The project train students to:
- Work together in a group
- Write a project report and give an oral presentation
- Apply the individual phases of the software development cycle
- Solve larger problems than are possible in regular courses
Three week intense course, 6 ECTS
3-week courses are taught for the first three weeks of the fall semester but after the 12-week regular courses in the spring semester. Students can select these courses in semesters 3-6. The aim of a three week intense course is to expose students to some specialized topic, which is presented by teachers from domestic or international universities or institutions, or teachers from industry. The table below lists the three week intense courses that have been given at the School of Computer Science

Adobe has today launched the most awaited and most feature-ful Creative Suite collection of professional applications for Web designers, multimedia enthusiasts and videographers.
Adobe CS5, brings 14 new products and their associated apps, four new online services, and a brand new interactive Web design product.
CS5 suite generates 55-60% of the revenue for the company, and hence the singlemost important release. the imporvemnents in the CS5 are not just limited to speed in functionality and performance, it is a big leap ahead in some of the capabilities that have been introduced in CS5.
Some of the Popular products from CS5:
- Photoshop CS5
- InDesign CS5
- Illustrator CS5
- Premiere Pro CS5
- Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Contribute CS5
- Flash Catalyst and Flash Professional CS5, and Flash Builder 4
- After Effects and Soundbooth CS5
Creative Suite 5 products, for the first time, include access to various technologies — Web utilities that capture, store, and analyze information generated by Web sites and other sources.
The suite now hosts three discreet versions of Flash—the familiar Flash Professional, Flash Builder (earlier known as Flex Builder), and a brand new interactive design app called Flash Catalyst. There is now a greater emphasis on online services that Adobe is relying on bridge the gap between its 18- to 24-month upgrade cycle.
What's New in CS5
More that 250 new features have been integrated throughout the Master Collection
Technology advancements
Several CS5 apps have advanced technologically to keep pace with advances in Hardware: Mult-core Processors and Powerful GPUs. Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects are now 64-bit native (both on Mac OS, Windows), and fully-multi-core to take better advantage of the increased memory. Improvements in Photoshop's OpenGL engine will make the new version faster and more responsive, as well.
Apart from that, Adobe has introduced the Mercury Playback Engine to Premiere Pro, its flagship video editing app. The Mercury Playback Engine speeds up processing and rendering so editors can work on large, complex projects without delays. The key to this improvement is GPU acceleration and the full use of all processing cores. While traditionally apps use the computer's CPU for performance, the Mercury Playback Engine directly accesses Nvidia graphics cards for performance boosts.
Adobe CS Live services
Adobe CS5 products integrate with Adobe's new CS Live, a set of five online services that augment key aspects of the creative workflow. CS Live online services are complimentary for now and include: Adobe BrowserLab, Adobe CS Review, Acrobat.com, Adobe Story, and SiteCatalyst NetAverages from Omniture.
Adobe CS Review enables online design reviews from within various CS5 applications, while Adobe BrowserLab is a tool for testing Website content across different browsers and operating systems. NetAverages provides Web usage data on browsers, operating systems, and more, to assist in the creative process when designing for the Web and mobile devices. Adobe Story is a collaborative scriptwriting tool that improves production and post-production workflows in the CS5 Production Premium video package. The older Acrobat.com services, such as Adobe ConnectNow Web conferencing, enhance discussion and information exchange with far-flung colleagues and clients.
The good news is, Adobe is not abandoning desktop apps, it is examining the feasibility of replacing some desktop features with online functionality.
Flash – Flash Professional, Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst
Adobe has taken a close look at Flash and determined that its core interactive multimedia and animation app doesn't address the wide array of needs for would-be Flash users. In an effort to augment Flash to better appeal to non-coder designers, Adobe has launched Flash Catalyst CS5, a brand new product designed to bridge the gap between designers and programmers. Unlike with Flash Professional, Catalyst users do not need to know ActionScript.
Flash Builder (a.k.a Flash builder) is targeted at coders, scripters, and database experts, is now also included in the Web Premium package.
Speaking of Flash, a new Packager for iPhone tool would have allowed developers to use Flash to create apps for the iPhone, and then compile them to run on the Apple hardware. Or at least that was the plan until Apple's new iPhone 4.0 Developer Program License Agreement, effectively barred such cross-compiled apps from the App Store. Adobe still delivers the feature.
Overall, the suite looks promising, individual apps would ship as usual, it would be exciting to see to how Adobe regains it's web market share it has lost due to Apple's attempts.
We write about Open Source, Programming, Java, Latest Tech news as they happen, get them@taranfxon Twitter or subscribe below
Adobe Creative Suite 5 products are scheduled to ship within 30 days.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/112,191 filed Dec. 15, 1998, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
The invention relates to documents having independently formattable regions. More particularly, the invention relates to structuring separate regions with selective attributes within a single document.
The advent of the Internet and World Wide Web within the Internet has increased the demand for more sophisticated types of document presentation. For example, users sending and receiving information over the Internet or other network often expect to see a document having a number of different presentation styles in order to distinguish between different types of information. For example, a user viewing an HTML mail application may see a document divided into a header and a footer. Similarly, a person viewing a web site may see an upper column having advertising, a right row having a site index, and the remainder of the web site comprising the body of text.
As illustrated in FIGS. 1(a) to 1(c), present systems and methods require that a user create a plurality of documents in order to present a single document having independently formatted regions. FIG. 1(a) is the index file that provides the structure of the regions, while FIGS. 1(b) and 1(c) provide the content. Once the source code for each of these documents is transmitted to a terminal device, such as a computer with a web browser, a document is rendered having the appearance of the document in FIG. 2. Thus, portions of a conventional document are stored as separate HTML files which the system must assemble in the right sequence to prepare an email or other framed page, and changing or editing one of the HTML files does not automatically ensure that other fields will be properly conformed.
These and other drawbacks exist with other systems.
The invention overcoming these and other problems in the art relates to a system and method which generates freely programmable electronic documents having independent regions with their own attributes.
An object of the invention is to provide an system and method that generates a unified document having independent regions, while storing the entire document in a single file.
Another object of the invention is to provide a system and method that permits consistent editing of electronic documents, without the necessity to make corresponding edits through multiple files.
Another object of the invention is to provide a system and method which generates electronic documents having arbitrary sets of frames, fields or panes which can be adjusted according to user requirements.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the presentation of a document onscreen is governed by a document management file, containing records controlling all attributes of individual portions of the document. Using this unified file structure, a file can be decomposed into an arbitrary number or regions or frames, without resorting to individual descriptors stored in separate files. Email documents can, for instance, be broken down into as many regions as desired, each of which may be separately scrolled or otherwise processed.
FIGS. 1(a) to 1(c) illustrate the implementation of regions using existing systems and methods.
One embodiment of the invention relates to the presentation of an document in a mark-up language, such as HTML document as shown in FIG. 2. In
It will be appreciated that other formats for document are contemplated by the invention, and that indeed free programmability of the document structure is an object of the invention. It will likewise be appreciated that the invention is intended to be operable with all types of electronic documents, including word processing files, email documents, Web-related pages, and in general any type of electronic formatting benefiting from improved formatting.
In addition to providing content for the regions in a single file, as shown in
In a preferred embodiment, additional functional attributes may be associated with a region. For example, an "input" attribute may create an input field in a particular field, while an "email address" attribute may identify the region as containing at least one email address. These function attributes may have default format attributes associated with them. For example, an "email address" attribute may have a predetermined color and underlining attribute associated with. An example of a function associated with an "email address" function attribute is that when a positional indicator comes into a predetermined relationship with a region, the cursor may change appearance and allow a user to create an email addressed to a particular email address. This functionality may be similar to the functionality of an HTML "mailto" tag (Mike).
For example, Column 401 may specify a name for a region or record. Column 402 may provide the content of the record. Column 403 may provide the character attributes of the record. Each of the fields may provide information that establishes how a document is rendered at a terminal device. For example, field 421 provides the information that the record is named "header," while field 422 provides the information that the content is "This is the header". In a preferred embodiment, a document management table 400 may have region attributes associated with a name. For example, a record named "header" may be placed at the top of a document covering 20% of a screen when rendered whereas a region named "body" may be placed at the bottom of the document covering the remaining 80% of a screen when rendered. Such region attribute defaults may be overridden by specifying new attributes in an attribute field. Additionally, if there is no default region attribute, any attribute relating to a record may be placed in an attribute field associated with the record.
Additional rows, columns and fields may be provided. Furthermore, other methods of assigning attributes may be utilized, such as drop-down boxes, check boxes, or other attribute selection methods. In a preferred embodiment, the information provided in each of the fields may be linked information. For example, if a document is going to display the telephone number of a person associated with a document, a link to the person's telephone number may be provided in Column 404. A record may contain a link to another document or database that contains the information that is to be rendered when the base document is rendered.
In terms of network processing, in the practice of the invention the reading of the document management file 300 is preferably carried out by a client workstation or other communication device (not shown) connected to a server over any available communications link, such as dial-up modem, Ethernet, T1 or T3 lines, ISDN connections or others. The client workstation may be a personal computer running Microsoft Windows™ 95, 98 or NT™; a Unix or Linux workstation; a Web appliance such as Sony WebTV™; or other computing or communication devices. The document is physically transmitted from the server to the client workstation at login, upon request by the remote user or at other times.
The adjustments to the configuration of the email document can be done by a systems administrator at the server, or by the user at the client computer for local use or uploading. The records and attributes of document management file 300 can be coded using conventional languages such C++ or Java, or using special purpose markup languages directed to formatting of the resulting electronic document. Regardless of the specific type of document presented, in the invention not only are all governing attributes stored in a single file but any region and attribute in a region can be freely programmed, resulting in a fully modifiable document structure. In a preferred embodiment, none of the regions of the document are hardwired to a format that can not be adapted.
The foregoing description of the system and method of the invention is illustrative, and variations in configuration and implementation will occur to persons skilled in the art. For instance, while the invention has been described with respect to an email document broken down into the two main portions of a header and body, in practice any electronic document can be prepared and processed using the invention. An electronic document generated according to the invention can be decomposed into any number of regions in arbitrary configuration. For instance, a document with 10, 20 or any other number of regions could be created. The scope of the invention is intended to be limited only by the following claims.

Rs.200 mn endowment fund for Pakistani journalists
Islamabad: Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has announced an endowment fund of Rs.200 million for the welfare of journalists.
The fund will help provide financial assistance to families of dead and injured journalists, provide medical facilities and for marriage of daughters of media personnel, reported Associated Press of Pakistan.
Addressing the oath taking ceremony of office bearers of National Press Club here, the prime minister said the government will also bear all expenses for the construction of a building of the National Press Club in the capital.
Gilani announced a grant of Rs.10 million for the National Press Club and said the grant would be provided to the press club every year.
He said Pakistan People's Party activists along with the journalist community gad struggled for the restoration of democracy, independence of judiciary and freedom of media after the imposition of emergency by the General Musharraf regime.
The prime minister said the PPP government abolished all black laws that had put restrictions on the press, and now no newspaper, magazine, radio or television channel is banned for expressing difference with the government.

Washington, Oct. 23: External affairs minister Yashwant Sinha casually announced the proposal for a Srinagar-Muzaffarabad bus service yesterday, but in Washington and London, those working on India-Pakistan issues have been hard at work on the idea for more than two years.
If the proposal bears fruit, American sources here said, it will be the first step on the tortuous road to converting the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir into a permanent border, which realists everywhere see as the final solution to the Kashmir issue.
The proposal was broached by India when Pervez Musharraf was in Agra in July 2001, but the wily general did not respond.
He pretended not to have heard the proposal, an Indian official was quoted yesterday as having told the Americans later.
For the record, the state departments deputy spokesman, Adam Ereli, said yesterdays proposals represent a major step towards... providing a foundation for real progress in resolving differences between India and Pakistan.
He said the measures significantly upgrade transportation links and people-to-people contacts between India and Pakistan. We warmly welcome these proposals.
Sources said that shortly before Musharraf was to travel to Agra, Lord Nazir Ahmed, a British peer, travelled to Washington for a series of meetings with US lawmakers, officials and American think tanks.
Out of those meetings came the idea of creating a soft border in Kashmir as the first step towards converting the LoC into a permanent border and dividing Kashmir as a solution to the dispute.
Ahmed is a Mirpuri from Kashmir and is seen by Indians as a pro-Pakistani advocate of separatism: so he had to enlist support from Washington if he was to get anywhere with the idea of the bus service. But when the Americans discussed the proposal with the Indians, they immediately saw the light.
Although nobody in the Indian government would admit it, at the highest levels there is realisation that converting the LoC into a border is the practical solution in Kashmir.
But once the Agra talks collapsed, there was no occasion for India to propose the bus service.
Yesterday, Sinha used the most conducive opportunity in New Delhis step-by-step peace offer to suggest the transport link between the Kashmirs.
American sources said that, though the idea appeared to have died an official death after Agra, they did discuss it with several Indians at the unofficial level.
Noted Gandhian Nirmala Deshpande, who was in the US this summer for a series of meetings, was one such. On her return to India, she has been trying to organise a pioneering bus journey by women from Baramulla to Islamabad.
Transport links between the two sides of Kashmir were halted in 1947 after Pakistan invaded the Indian state.
Sources here and in London are, however, keeping their fingers crossed about whether Islamabad will actually allow the bus service. It will mean setting up a border checkpoint along the LoC for immigration and customs. Setting up such facilities is normally resisted by claimants to territory in a dispute because of implicit recognition of ceasefire lines as borders.
Therefore, if Pakistan does allow the bus service, the rest of the world will view it as a signal of Musharrafs flexibility in settling the Kashmir issue.
Hurriyat for consensus, P 6

Unscheduled Time: Time to Play and Dream
Posted by Susan Sloop - Caregiving Family Parenting Work/Life Balance
Is your child forgetful, crabby, or constantly tired? He may be "overscheduled." Would you be surprised to find your child's day is as hectic as your own? People who study young children say that youngsters need time for unstructured activity—what adults sometimes call "free time" or "down time."
Why is free time good for children?
- Health. A child's body and brain need relief from demands and expectations. Rest and recreation help keep a child healthy and ready to learn!
- Independence. Unstructured time lets a child make choices. A child who is used to an intense schedule may feel a bit lost if she has to find something to do on her own. But she needs to experience making her own decisions. Allowing her some free time helps her learn to occupy and entertain herself.
- Play and learning. Children and adults need time to reflect on what they learn. A child can play in ways that let him connect new information with what he already knows. Play can also help him master stressful situations that interfere with learning. Daydreaming may be a way to figure out how to solve a problem.
- Active play and self-regulation. Active play helps a child have a healthy, fit body. During free play, she can run, jump, climb, throw, and dance until she is tired. Then she can pause, have a drink of water, and play quietly in the sandbox with a friend. She will learn to pace herself during unstructured active play.
What can I do to create more free time?
- Allow more family "down-time." If you're overscheduled, your child may be too!
- Think about your goals. Does your 3-year-old really need violin lessons, swimming class, and play group after child care? Or can something wait until he's older?
- Check in with your child. Ask if he feels his days are too full or if he wants more time to play or relax.
What can I do with my children when they're home?
- Encourage creativity. Even empty boxes or a mud puddle can inspire your child. Cook, put puzzles together, or make models. She will enjoy feeling competent and being close to you.
- Provide plenty of outdoor experiences. Walk, shoot baskets, garden, skate, ski, go to the playground, or just find things to do in the back yard.
- Show your child how to play games. Card games, board games, and physical games encourage friendly interaction and build family relationships.
- Make arrangements for your child to have unstructured play with other children.
- Stroll or bike to museums, construction sites, or other interesting places together.
- Make time to daydream, talk, listen, cuddle, and be "lazy" together.

DUBIOUS RECORD: The eurozone is now in its longest recession, a six-quarter slump that has topped the downturn that hit the region in the financial crisis of 2008-9.
FRANCE ADDED: The European Union statistics office said Wednesday that nine of the 17 EU countries that use the euro are in recession, with France a notable addition to the list. Overall, the eurozone's economy contracted by 0.2 percent in the January-March period from the previous three months.
AUSTERITY PAIN: The single currency bloc is grappling with a debt crisis that has prompted governments to slash spending and raise taxes. Unemployment across the eurozone is at a record 12.1 percent.

Pine Bay Foundation was established as a Canadian charity in 1991 to facilitate the establishment of Camp Winston, a residential camp on Sparrow Lake dedicated to the enjoyment, safety and success of children dealing with complex neurological disorders.
Foundation Directors provide support to administrative and programming staff to ensure the camp operation is efficient, effective and focused on the children Camp Winston serves; those with limited access and limited means to obtain other programs or supports. Our campers are socially isolated in their home communities and do not regularly taste the satisfaction of success in their social interactions.
The Foundation actively supports our annual charitable golf tournament, annual campaigns and third party events which help to raise public awareness and support for the camp. Committed to its continued operation in perpetuity, Foundation Board Directors participate on standing committees to improve financial management, event planning, marketing and communications, property management and governance.
The Board welcomes expressions of interest from community members who are looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the exceptional children who benefit from Camp Winston.
For more information on the Pine Bay Foundation, please contact: Gerald Enchin, the Executive Director at firstname.lastname@example.com .

G/W Slivers: A Premier Event Report
After missing the first few pauper Premium Events due to work commitments, I found myself with a Saturday off and 6 tix. I believe last Saturdays event pulled in 94 people, all gunning for the top 8. The biggest threat? Mono black control. Thanks to cards like Warren Pilferers, Tendrils of Corruption, Corrupt, Chittering Rats and Okiba-Gang Shinobi the deck has been performing well for the last several months. I believe that this is the deck you absolutely must be able to beat when choosing your deck.
Running The Numbers: PE Edition
With the innagural Classic Pauper PE, I decided it was time to revive "Running The Numbers" to take a look at the event that was and the information we can glean from the results. There is a lot to look at so I am going to jump right in.
Holiday Freestyle
After what I am sure was an agonizing wait for so many, Michael and I are back with another Pauper Podcast. Honestly, we were just happy to find a time to get this thing recorded, so the content itself is quite varied. We discuss MPDC 4.09, our Magic life outside of PDC, and a bit of Peasant Magic. I hope you enjoy - I'm sure you'll learn something you didn't know before!
Get your popcorn ready 'cause it's gonna be show!
Interview With A Michael
I am back with another podcast! To make up for last week's subpar sound quality, I've got a good one for you today. Michael (jamuraa) joins me to talk about SPDC, the evolution of the format, and his favorite decks. This one is great, folks - I am two for two in interviews! As usual, if you have any questions or comments, drop us a line (shoot us an e-mail) at podcast (at) pdcmagic.com. Enjoy this 'cast, and I'll be back next week!
Get what you're waiting for after the jump!
TPDC Season 9 Worlds Preview
PDC Classic has a long, illustrious, and storied tradition. It is the least accessible and the most hallowed of our formats. For some of us, it represents a mysterious, inscrutable, even daunting foray into the murky past of this game of Magic we all love. For others of us, the Classic format is synonymous with PDC itself.
With WotC's impending sanctioning of Pauper Classic, PDC's most venerable format is going to be cast into the spotlight like never before. Lots of speculation about the impact of "official status" on our own community and our own events has been taking place here in the PDCMagic.com forums, and only time will tell what comes of all the noise.
Before any of that, however, we PDC Paupers have our own Classic events to make some noise about -- namely, the Season 9 Worlds Championship of Tuesday night's TPDC event, organized by Lathspel, and the following Saturday's Season 9 Worlds Championship of the Classic PDC event, hosted by LulThyme (taking over for Evu who is retiring from the role of Saturday's main coordinator).
Heading into this huge week for Classic players, let's take a look back at the Classic landscape for the last four months. For this article, we'll start with TPDC.

Ageism: Real or Not? How to Handle It
By Ron Visconti, Executive Director of Phase2Careers
Ageism in the workplace is real. However, what matters most is how we deal with it.
George was given his pink slip. 54 years of age, 20 years with the same company, a seasoned procurement specialist. "How am I going to get the next job?" Why is this happening to me? "Who will hire an older worker like me?"
Beverly, was a returning-to-work mom after a hiatus of 20 years in order to raise her kids. She had worked for many years in the hotel industry at the front desk. "They probably want someone younger," she thought. "How can I compete with someone younger and prettier?"
Jeanine is a thirty year veteran of the high tech industry. She has worked for many years with a Fortune 500 company as a software engineer. She has been experiencing a particularly hard time re-entering the job market after being unemployed for one year. She cites age and the interviewing process with younger, inexperienced Millennials as the reason why she is not employed. She gets countless interviews, but the job offer never quite comes. Ten interviews and no job offer.
The job search process fills us with doubts.
My interest in ageism grew from own personal connection. I am one of those who has experienced the issue first hand from my work with my clients.
Before the economic crash, I saw growing numbers of older workers. They had been one of the most devastated groups in the downturn.
When I coordinated a job fair in 2008, I noticed a lot more gray hair. I decided I would test my theory. I would place a simple 8 x 11 sheet of paper at my booth. Are you an older worker? Do you need more support? Well over 350 job seekers came up to me to tell their personal stories. I knew there was a huge trend. This is why and how I launched my new nonprofit, Phase2Careers. Phase2Careers' mission is to assist this hard hit population – the over 40 worker.
That being said: age should not define your job search. It is a small part of who you are and only one of many single factors. Don't let age be the first word to come out of your mouth as to why you didn't get interview or the job. Instead, make a column or list of things you can control versus what you cannot control. Age would be in the section of can't control. You can't set time back, however, there are lots of things you can control, which may well supersede the possible negative factor of your age.
Maintain a Positive Mindset
One critical piece of the job search is a positive mindset. Do you feel recruiters have a pre-determined view of your skills? A Positive attitude and what you project to others about your skills, how your work with others, and the impact you make on projects is key to keeping a positive attitude.
Be a candidate who is ready to compete. This means your skill set is current, you're up on industry trends, and you are actively networking and expanding the base of who you know.
The issue of ageism has been with us for decades and will doubtless remain. The Commonwealth Fund, a private New York philanthropic organization, concluded through approximately a dozen studies since the 1950's that Americans over 55 were:
- Undervalued
- Disregarded
- An Untapped Resource
Let us talk about some negative stereotyping. About a decade ago, the Association of Human Resources Executives (SHRM) asked, "What negative stereotypes do you have of the older worker?" In this survey of 308 randomly selected Human Resources Executives in 2006 (source: SHRM survey-2006), they reported these disadvantages of hiring older workers compared to other groups:
- Not keeping up with technology (49%)
- Causing extra expenses such as health care (38%)
- Seen as less flexible (23%)
- More likely to take time off to care for their infirm, aging parents (13%)
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, workers over 55 are unemployed for a significantly longer period of time versus their younger counterparts.
On the other hand, they also listed the many advantages of older workers, compared with their younger counterparts, as such:
- More work experience (i.e., more knowledge or skills (77%)
- More mature/professional (71%)
- Stronger work ethic (70%)
- Ability to serve as mentors (63%)
- More reliable (59%)
- More loyal (53%)
- Less turnover (52%)
Seasoned workers are able to solve large, present-day challenges through life experience and past achievements, according to Jim McDonald, Career Transition Coach, Career Step.
Renee Sagon, Recruiting and Marketing Specialist for SlingShot Connections had this to say about the seasoned workers: "Basically, they don't jump around from job to job. They also bring a high level of stability and maturity to the workplace."
Personal Development
What can you do to make yourself more competitive? Take classes in both hard and soft skills. Be actively engaged in your professional associations. Volunteer in non-profits to enhance your skills and being active. Join a mix of networking groups (from meetups to job search groups) to create energy in your job search.
Carol Dweck wrote a book, Mindset, on creating and maintaining a positive mindset. People with positive mindsets grow with adversity and are not defeated by tough times because they are in always in a learning mode.
Embrace, Don't Fight the Multigenerational Workforce
Whether you like it or not, the multi-generational workforce is here to stay. Many seasoned workers that I assist find it a challenge to be interviewed by a much younger person.
The Uber Co-founder, Travis Kalanick, said this to younger workers in an AARP Magazine interview (January/February 2016):
Tap into their expertise and knowledge. If everybody is passionate about the problem, then it is fun for everybody. For me, it's a blessing to get that kind of experience in the room. Don't feel that you are entitled to a job, you need to earn it.
Be Aware of Where You Fit
Ann Greenhaw, Human Resources Sr. Recruiter at Franklin Templeton Investments said this:
"Seasoned" workers can be a great asset, as they tend to have strong communication skills, and can communicate well verbally as well as electronically.
They tend to be more loyal, and in our industry they often bring with them a multitude of "connections", as they have developed a good network over the years.
"Ability, experience, loyalty and a strong network of industry people – all attributes of the "seasoned" employee!"
Know thyself. Not every job or workplace is right for you. Where will you thrive? Where will you make the greatest impact? Define your environment/industry. A smaller company? Larger company?
From many discussions and my research, some industries tend to be more favorable to the seasoned workers. Here is a sample:
- Nonprofit
- Government
- Consulting
- Healthcare
- Education
- Retail
- Financial Services
I am not saying that you might not fit into other areas, just be prepared to compete in whatever industry you choose.
Do Your Homework
Learn more about your prospective the company or industry, become an intelligent stakeholder in solving their problems.
Communicate Your Relevance and Worth
- Don't tell them what you don't have, but rather, tell them what you do have
- Don't talk too much; get to the point.
- Remember that it is all about the here and now
- There is no job so small that you can't contribute

We Got Feathered!
Last week, we decided to add a little extra kick to our wardrobe: feather extensions. We headed to Avanti Salon in South Boston, who so graciously invited us in for a little feather action. The entire experience was such a blast: from picking the colors to choosing where we wanted them placed and everything in between. The actually process took under fifteen minutes. Talk about a quick and effective way to liven up your look — and mood!
Feather extensions have become a growing trend and you'll find more and more salons (and feather extension businesses) popping up around town. We had such a great experience and would definitely do it again. In fact, we may be adding different colors in no time! A big thank you to Joanna and the team at Avanti Salon South.Disclaimer: Avanti Salon South provided us with complimentary feather extensions. Our opinions and views are honest and our own.

Chennai, April 16: Tamil Nadu has become the first state in the south to charge a journalist under the new anti-terror law with the Jayalalithaa government using the decree against Nakkeeran editor R.R. Gopal, a one-time emissary to bandit Veerappan.
The use of the anti-terror law against the editor comes close on the heels of the midnight arrest of the Opposition DMKs youth wing leader, M.K. Stalin, on the charge that he trespassed into a womens college.
Stalin, son of DMK leader M. Karunanidhi, had gone to Queen Marys College to express solidarity with students protesting against the governments move to pull down the institution to make way for a new secretariat complex.
The Opposition alleged that Gopal has been singled out for the controversial Prevention of Terrorism Act because of his proximity to the DMK.
The crime branch criminal investigation department had already slapped on Gopal several charges under the Indian Penal Code, including one on sedition in a case relating to the disappearance of a police informant on the activities of Veerappan.
The police have also charged Gopal under the Arms Act, saying an unlicensed gun, ammunition and a pamphlet of a banned extremist outfit were allegedly found in a bag carried by the Nakkeeran editor.
The discovery of the gun has come in handy for invoking a provision of the anti-terrorism law as a notification issued in December last allows the prosecution of anyone under the controversial law if found with unauthorised arms.
Fuming at the development, Karunanidhi said he would not hesitate to lead an agitation until the Centre withdrew the anti-terror law. The issue is likely to figure prominently at the all-party meeting convened here on April 24.
The crime branch today filed a petition before the additional chief metropolitan magistrate at Egmore here, seeking the transfer of the case against Gopal to the special court trying cases under the anti-terror law.
Gopal is the 42nd person to be charged under the law in the state. Among other high-profile accused under the law are MDMK leader Vaiko and Tamil Nationalist Movement leader P. Nedumaran.
Gopal and his trademark handle-bar moustache had become a familiar fixture in television screens during the height of the Rajkumar kidnap crisis. The previous DMK government had made him the official emissary to negotiate with Veerappan for the release of several kidnap victims, including the Kannada actor.
True to their style under the Jayalalithaa government, police had arrested Gopal under dramatic circumstances near the Nakkeeran office around 8.45 pm on April 11.
The editors car was intercepted as it came out of the office and Gopal was told to get into a police vehicle. The police interrogated him for the rest of the night at the crime branch headquarters in Chennai.
Nakkeeran associate editor Kamaraj said the missing man case in which the anti-terror law has been invoked against Gopal was more than three years old and no charge sheet had been filed so far.
Gopal was included in this case apparently because he had already obtained anticipatory bails in some other cases in which he had apprehended arrest.
Journalists associations in the state have condemned Gopals arrest. They said the way the editor has been treated has given rise to a perception that vindictive action was being taken against him for agreeing to become the previous governments emissary.
But ruling party circles claimed that former Karnataka DGP C. Dhinakars memoir has robbed Gopal of the immunity he enjoyed so far. The former police officer had alleged that a ransom was paid to secure Rajkumars release and that money had changed hands at the residence of Karunanidhi.

I was at the hair salon yesterday, having the epic life talks that always seem to happen when I'm sitting in that chair. I go to the coolest hair salon in Manhattan, in my opinion – Uliana in the East Village, on 9th between 1st and 2nd – it's in Jimi Hendrix's old apartment. Uliana has seen me through a lot of years of different changes, and I always look forward to giving her the latest. As a hairdresser, she hears a lot about what people are going through. Everyone vents in that chair.
Uliana said – "It's a funny time in life right now, in the world. All of my clients are going through a lot of big changes, it seems a lot of people are feeling ungrounded, unstable. Things don't feel secure. I'm seeing that across the board."
It got me thinking — we're always going through changes. Sometimes it feels like everyone's going through something. Sometimes we feel stable, sometimes we feel totally lost. Sometimes there's a lot of freedom in our lives, sometimes it feels like we're bound in a lot of ways. But it's those "in-between" phases that seem to be the most uncomfortable – when we don't feel totally stable but we're not sure what's next. Those are the times when we have a choice — we can desperately cling onto something that resembles security even if it doesn't make us happy, or we can accept and enjoy the ride — every crazy up and down — feeling our way through it the whole way — knowing that our uncomfortability is the sweet spot where we can experience radical growth.
I opened up my Journey To The Heart book this morning to read the passage for October 19th. It was the perfect passage for this concept, so I had to share it here with you guys:
In times of change:
"We may not know where we're going. It may not feel like our feet are on solid ground. They aren't. We're crossing a bridge to another part of our lives. Sometimes we may find ourselves at this bridge unwittingly, not certain how we got there, not certain we want to cross. Other times, we may have sought, prayed for, longed for this time of change.
Drive across the bridge. You don't have to understand it all right now. Information and understanding will come later. You'll get to the other side. For now, trust and experience what you're going through. Know that this time of change is sacred." -Melody Beattie
Sometimes crossing a bridge is scary if all you're doing is looking down. But if you just keep going, putting one foot in front of the other, crossing over the bridge, you just might enjoy the journey and find something amazing. As they say…"don't quit before the miracle."
If you are digging this whole concept, you should listen to one of my favorite Alanis Morissette songs — Incomplete. I was running on the track at McCarren Park when I first heard it…and I probably cried a little.
"I have been running, so sweaty my whole life, urgent for a finish line….and I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete."
"Ever unfolding, ever expanding, ever adventurous and torturous…but never done."
I mean, whoa. This is good. So if you feel like you're on the bridge right now, join the party, and courageously keep going. Don't be in such an anxious hurry to get to the other side. There are amazing things to be experienced on the bridge. And some very cool people who are also bridging it along with you. Take it one day at a time.
I asked Uliana how she deals with these times of change. She said, "I wake up every day and I show up for my life."

what would happen if i take it out after a week? would it just close up or infect
Most Helpful Guy
You should wait several days. At first it might hurt a little. You will have a little mark/scar of course since the skin won't heal completely. Where exactly did you pierce? Anyway , when I pierced my ear I tried many ring styles. As for nose rings I know about straight barbells , curved barbells , hoops , captive bead ring , studs and nostril screws. I personally prefer hoops and studs. You might change your mind ;)00|00|0
its a hoop. so do you think after a week I can take it out
I would say yes. I recommend that you remove it after you feel no pain when attempting to remove it.

Take it out so it will heal sooner. But make sure you really don't like it. You don't want to have wasted that money for nothing11|00|0

Holy balls, guys, I don't even know where to start with Trump's press conference. It was bizarre. Plus, I only caught the last half of it, so I'm gonna have to summon up the strength to watch the first half at some point.
You can watch it on CSPAN – for your sins if you've been bad – and read a transcript here.
Politifact has a great factcheck, which you'll need, because about 90% of what I heard at the press conference was unmitigated BS.
Two things about the press conference stuck out to me.
The first was the dog and pony show over Trump's "trust" that will "solve" his massive conflicts of interest. He brought out a lawyer – who, notably, works at a law firm that has won some prestigious awards in Russia, I'm just saying – to read off a prepared statement peppered with Trumpspeak that basically boiled down to "I'm not gonna and you can't make me so neener neener."
He had a table next to the podium where he stood, positively buckling with piles and folders of paper that supposedly laid out this big legal trust he's put together. "Look at all this paper," he said repeatedly, even having his pet lawyer refer to "all this paper." I mean, it must be legit, there's all that paper, right?
See, Trump thinks you're an idiot. He thinks that'll fool you. He thinks you don't realize that was just reams of blank papers arrayed on a table because seriously, who trots out actual legal documents like that for a presser? No one.
Do me a favor and prove him wrong. He put on a song and dance for you. Don't buy it.
The second thing was his spat over Buzzfeed news with a CNN reporter. You can watch it here. I just want to point out how hostile Donald Trump is to a free press, and how he punishes reporters doing their jobs. That's our next four years, folks. That's what he's going to do to every press organization who stands up to him.
Brace yourselves. Support our press. We're gonna need it.

Hello Lovelies!
Today I've got Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Petal Pusher swatched up! This is an extremely pale strawberry milk pink creme, it's actually almost opaque in one coat, but I used two to smooth things out a tad more. I finished it off with a coat of shiny topcoat, but I've noticed that most of the Insta-Dry's have a great natural shiny finish by themselves!
See you later!

Crawfish are found in ditches, rivers, lakes, and streams. They frequently burrow in the bottom sediment. Like their name implies, red swamp crawfish prefer swampy habitats. They're native to northeastern Mexico and south-central United States, although they've been introduced in many other states and countries, where they're considered invasive. White river crawfish prefer flooded wetlands but their habitat often overlaps the same habitat as red swamp crawfish. They're native from Texas to Alabama and are only found in the United States.
Crawfish grow by molting—they form a new, larger shell, causing their old outer shell to shed. Juvenile crawfish can molt as often as once a week during their first few months but less often as they mature. On average, they can grow up to about six inches long.
Crawfish are able to reproduce by as young as two months old. Female red swamp crawfish can lay eggs at any time but mostly during the fall and winter. They can produce up to twice as many eggs as white river crawfish, with an average of about 250 babies per female. Female white river crawfish lay eggs from mid to late fall, producing fewer and larger eggs than red swamp crawfish, with an average of 130 babies per female. Crawfish can live up to three years.
Crawfish are omnivorous, feeding on anything from vegetation to small invertebrates and remains of dead animals. Fish, birds, and small mammals prey on crawfish.
Crawfish are freshwater crustaceans that resemble small lobsters. They have a joined, two-part shell, made up of their cephalothorax (head and thorax) and abdomen. They have four pairs of walking legs and a pair of large pincher claws. They also have small paddle-like legs under the abdomen. Of the numerous species of crawfish, only two are commercially important in the Gulf: red swamp crawfish and white river crawfish. Red swamp crawfish are red in color, with a blue-grey line on the underside of their tail. The two halves of their shell meet and form a thin line down the middle of their back. White swamp crawfish are pink or purplish, but never red, with white or tan walking legs. A gap separates the two halves of their shell on their back.
Abundant in the swamps and marshes of south Louisiana, crawfish have long been an important part of Louisiana's culture and economy. These freshwater crustaceans were a favorite food of Native Americans and early settlers in Louisiana, and Louisiana fishermen have been harvesting crawfish commercially since at least the late 1800s. In the late 1940s, rice farmers developed a method to farm crawfish, re-flooding their rice fields after the fall rice harvest to facilitate crawfish growth and produce a crawfish crop. Crawfish farming eventually expanded to ponds and swamps as well. Since wild crawfish harvests depend on a number of environmental variables and are unpredictable, crawfish farming made it possible to have more consistent supplies. Farm-raised and wild-caught crawfish crops generally complement each other—farm-raised crawfish are available late fall through mid-spring, and, if conditions are favorable, wild-caught crawfish dominate the market from mid-spring to early summer.
Today, crawfish is not only still a staple throughout Louisiana at backyard crawfish boils and on restaurant tables but is also growing in popularity in other markets. Louisiana's rivers, bayous, swamps, and lakes are still significant sources of crawfish, but the vast majority of the state's crawfish production is farm-raised in thousands of acres of crawfish ponds. With more than 1,000 crawfish fishermen and more than 1,300 crawfish farmers, Louisiana leads the nation in crawfish production, supplying 100 to 120 million pounds per year. Louisiana's crawfish industry contributes more than $300 million to the state's economy annually.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is responsible for monitoring and managing wild crawfish through gear, licensing, and reporting requirements. Harvest controls are not necessary to protect the crawfish resource as their populations are resilient and influenced by environmental conditions, rather than fishing.
Since farm-raised crawfish are an agricultural product, they fall under the purview of the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and other agencies. Crawfish farming is considered to be a relatively environmentally friendly use of land. While there are no specific regulations for crawfish farming, many crawfish farmers follow best management practices to minimize potential impacts of crawfish ponds on the environment and reduce water use and associated energy and waters costs.
In Louisiana, crawfish come from two sources— commercial harvests of crawfish from the wild and commercial aquaculture operations (crawfish farms or ponds).
Both crawfish fishermen and farmers use traps to harvest crawfish. The majority of the wild-caught crawfish is harvested from the Atchafalaya Basin and Vermilion Teche River region.
Crawfish farming is based on annual water cycles and conditions crawfish have adapted to over millions of years. Farmers flood and drain crawfish ponds, mimicking natural water fluctuation of the Atchafalaya Basin. When water levels are up, crawfish mate and females store the males' sperm for later use. As water levels go down in late spring and early summer, females burrow in the ground and stay there for the summer. They spawn in the burrows and attach their eggs to the underside of their tails. When rains fill wetlands and farmers fill ponds in the early fall, crawfish emerge from their burrows and move into the open water. Hatchlings quickly separate from the female to feed, grow, and mature over the fall and winter. After the winter, these crawfish mate in the spring and repeat the cycle.
Crawfish farming is not typical aquaculture. For example, there are no formulated feeds; instead, farmers grow rice, sorghum-sudangrass, or natural vegetation in the summer (when ponds are drained). These crops serve as the base of a natural food chain for crawfish. Farmers do not stock crawfish ponds with hatchery-reared young—instead, they rely on reproduction by unharvested crawfish from the previous year or stock mature crawfish to produce young naturally.
Year-round, but most crawfish are harvested between December and July, with peaks from March through May. Crawfish aren't generally available in the summer and into the fall because ponds and natural areas are dry.
Farm-raised crawfish has regularly accounted for the vast majority of the state's commercial crawfish production. Less than 10% of the production is from wild caught areas mainly in the Atchafalaya Basin.
Louisiana's wild crawfish harvest is highly variable and fluctuates due to a variety of biological, environmental, and economic factors. Since 1991, wild crawfish harvests have averaged more than 15.7 million pounds per year with average dockside revenue of more than $10.9 million.
Crawfish farms are able to control many of the variables that affect wild crawfish harvest and can provide a more consistent supply. In recent years, more than 170,000 acres of crawfish ponds in Louisiana typically have yielded between 95 million and 110 million pounds of crawfish each year, with a farm gate value of approximately $115 million to $170 million. While there are small harvests of farmed crawfish in other states, Louisiana is by far the largest producer in the United States. Most farmers produce crawfish for food but sometimes sell crawfish for bait or for aquarium or scientific specimens.
Source: NOAA Fisheries Annual Commercial Landings Statistics
While biologists conduct studies on the wild crawfish resource, they do not sample and survey the populations like other fisheries resources. To monitor wild crawfish harvests, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries requires docks that purchase crawfish directly from commercial fishermen to submit trip tickets to capture information about their catch—for example, what it is, where and how it was caught, etc. Commercial fishermen who sell their catch directly to consumers are also required to complete and submit trip tickets. The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry and the Louisiana State University AgCenter both provide rough estimates of how much crawfish farms produce.
Stock assessments are not required for the wild crawfish resource. Crawfish are prolific breeders, and their abundance relies more on water levels and subsequent habitat availability. The crawfish population is resilient due to the species' biological characteristics, as evidenced by the fishery's long, productive history.
In Louisiana, crawfish are harvested from the wild and crawfish farms.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF), the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission, and the Louisiana Legislature are responsible for managing the wild crawfish harvest in Louisiana's waters.
Farm-raised crawfish, as an agricultural product, falls under the purview of the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and other agencies.
There are minimal management measures for wild crawfish harvest, besides gear, licensing, and reporting requirements, as this resource is productive, resilient, and more influenced by environmental conditions rather than fishing. Years of very high catches are related to high abundance due to high river water levels and increased habitat availability. Years of low catches are related to low abundance due to low river water levels and resulting limited habitat.
LDWF's Law Enforcement Division is responsible for ensuring compliance with all commercial and recreational licensing and harvesting regulations through regular patrols and investigations. Penalties for violations vary with the severity of the violation and include fines, jail time, loss of fishing license, and forfeiture of property.
Crawfish farming is considered to be a relatively environmentally friendly use of land. While there are no specific regulations for crawfish farming, many crawfish farmers follow best management practices to minimize potential impacts of crawfish ponds on the environment and reduce water use and associated energy and pumping costs.
LDAF does not require crawfish farmers to have a license to raise crawfish on agricultural lands or to sell to the average consumer. However, if the buyer plans to resell their crawfish, they must have the appropriate licenses from LDWF and/or the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals.
Not applicable—crawfish are an annual crop similar to shrimp; their populations are highly variable and influenced by environmental conditions rather than fishing.
Not applicable—wild crawfish harvests are highly variable and are influenced by a number of biological, environmental, and economic factors, rather than fishing.
Wild crawfish harvesting likely has minimal impact on habitat and other species, although there are currently no scientific studies to document this.
Crawfish farming is considered to be a relatively environmentally friendly use of land. Many crawfish farmers follow best management practices to minimize potential impacts of crawfish ponds on the environment and reduce water use and associated energy and waters costs.
In both natural and farming environments, environmental factors influence crawfish populations. Water levels directly affect the seasonal abundance of crawfish; higher water levels provide more habitat therefore greater abundance. Crawfish are also sensitive to other factors such as availability of vegetation for food, weather and water temperature, and water quality.
