Researching Other Countries During a Job Search
Considering a job search in a foreign country? Develop a job search plan for each country of interest. The plan should include foundation research that you'll need for most interviews. Add to that base and customize it with information about cultural subtleties for each target country, region of the country, and potential employer of interest.
Because hiring customs in the world's nations are still evolving, seek the latest data by researching online and by networking your way to people in-country.
The following Web sites provide information for your cross-cultural job search:
Going Global: This site offers country-specific annually updated interviewing advice for a few dozen countries. Visit the site's home page where you can use the Quick Search feature (lower right hand side of the page) to find information on interviewing in individual countries. A sample content page for each country is free; the country's entire guide of about 85 pages can be downloaded for under $20.
In addition to for-fee country guides ordered by the general public, you can read the information for free if you have access to any of the 300 or so libraries and university career centers around the world that subscribe to the Going Global service. These institutions are listed on the Going Global Web site.
Job-hunt.org: This site contains a list of international job resources that are most useful for job postings, but you can mine the resources for country-specific interviewing intelligence.
Transitions Abroad: This site offers magazine articles and books about working, studying, traveling, living, and volunteering in countries other than your own. Selected articles are free but others are available only if you subscribe to the magazine.

We had a nice lazy Sunday today and no reason at all to be packing a lunch. No reason at all, until Ethan asked for one. "Just a little snack bento mom. Maybe in that new box?". That "new box" has been in my cabinet for a long time, but I haven't used it yet. No matter how many cool and cute *new* boxes I get, I seem to always grab for the old and familiar. :)
This is quite the miscellaneous snack bento! A little of this and a little of that. :) On the left side, working from top to bottom: animal crackers, cheddar cheese stars, grape tomatoes, homemade granola bite, dry roasted edamame, wheat crackers. On the right side: organic baby carrots, frozen blueberries (his favorite way to eat them!) and pickles.
Now here is one of the great things about bentos. My son doesn't like tomatoes. But I snuck those two cute little tomatoes in there and he ate one of them anyway. ;-) My daughter never liked carrots (not even carrot puree as a baby!), but over the last couple months she's started eating them a little at a time...especially when I cut them into little flowers or other cute shapes. Presentation is everything! :)

May 19, 2019, 12:55 amDraymond GreenF, Golden State Warriors
Draymond Green went off on Saturday's win, posting a monster 20-13-12 line and adding four steals and one block.
Draymond was all over the court for the Warriors posting his seventh career postseason triple-double. With his team down 13 points to start the second half, Green channeled his inner Magic Johnson and rallied the Warriors with six rebounds, six assists and two steals to take the lead going into the fourth quarter. His defensive intensity continues to be a catalyst for the team and is a major reason why the Warriors continue to dominate in this series.
Fantasy News
October 19, 2019, 11:59 pmDion WaitersSG, Miami Heat
The Heat have suspended Dion Waiters one game for conduct detrimental to the team.
In the team's release, Pat Riley said, ""There were a number of unacceptable incidents this week, culminating with his unprofessional conduct on the bench last night." Waiters had been away from the team for personal reasons but apparently had issues after returning. With Duncan Robinson drawing preseason starts, Tyler Herro drawing rave reviews and Kendrick Nunn putting up some big lines, Waiters is going to have a tough time holding off the competition for minutes, let alone return fantasy value.

October 19, 2019, 11:36 pmRay SpaldingPF, Houston Rockets
Rockets have waived Ray Spalding, Matur Maker and Shamorie Ponds.
Several NBA teams have shown interest in Spalding so he may end up on a roster. Otherwise, Spalding, Maker and Ponds will likely see time in the G League. None are worth drafting in standard leagues.

Hornets have converted the contract of second round pick Jalen McDaniels into a two-way contract.
McDaniels will likely see the majority of the time in the G League. However, the Hornets roster is rather thin and may get some call ups. There is no need to draft him until we see him in action.

October 19, 2019, 8:29 pmAllen CrabbeSG, Atlanta Hawks
Allen Crabbe (right knee arthroscopy) is unlikely to play until mid-to-late-November, according to coach Lloyd Pierce.
Peirce will see how Crabbe performs once he starts practicing before integrating him into games. He underwent surgery in April and has yet to be completely recovered. He will likely see a limited role and can be left undrafted.

The Bucks have requested waivers on Rayjon Tucker, Trevor Lacey and Jemerrio Jones.

John Henson (right groin strain) is unlikely to play in the season opener on Wednesday.
Henson has not been able to practice fully and missed every preseason game. Once healthy, Henson is expected to back up Tristan Thompson at center. It's worth noting that Henson is also dealing with an ankle injury as well, so this may be more than just a one game absence.

Hassan Whiteside (left ankle sprain) was limited to non-contact work during Saturday's practice, but expects to play in the Blazers' opener.
Whiteside left Wednesday's preseason game after injuring his ankle through 16 minutes of play. Whiteside expects to be fine for Wednesday and is in line to have a bounce back season in his new threads.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Any person even remotely associated with Microsoft (MSFT - Get Report) should be livid, ashamed of him/herself or a mix of both.Livid if they're not accomplice to the company's active and ongoing implosion. Ashamed if they have mailed it in over the last five years. You're misleading yourself if you cannot see the writing on the wall. Get ahead of the curve on this one: Microsoft is the next Research in Motion ( RIMM). Swallow the numbers. Choke on them. Digest them. Act accordingly. I had an experience this past Friday that I guess I have had before, but, for some reason, it never resonated with me like it did this time. After I landed in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, TheStreet contributor Robert Weinstein, who I visited in the Northwoods of Wisconsin for a mini vacation, took me to the famous Mall of America. We visited the Apple ( AAPL - Get Report) Store, which, not surprisingly, sits right across the way from the Microsoft Store. You can see the reflection of the Windows logo in the window of the Apple Store. How painfully depressing.
I would commend Microsoft for opening up next door or across from every Apple Store in the world if the company had just a shred of pride left. Maybe if Microsoft rolled more like Tesla Motors ( TSLA - Get Report). When I Tweeted my displeasure with Microsoft's retail strategy -- opening Apple copycats, sometimes in close proximity to Apple Stores -- my feed went ablaze with people claiming I was making a big deal out of nothing.

The 'Gainesville High School (Alachua County) Oral History Collection' was a class project where students at Gainesville High School (Gainesville, Florida) conducted interviews in May 1971 with 63 older--and elderly-- Gainesville residents. These interviewees discuss a wide variety of subjects regarding their life in Gainesville--some reminiscences going back so far as the 1910s and 1920s. The topics include attending UF, working at UF, impact of UF on community, growth of UF, UF student antics in town, careers, fashions, impact of Prohibition and Depression and World War II on community, dating rules, sports, newspapers, notable residents, epidemics, religions and religious prejudice, Ku Klux Klan parades, downtown landscape, streets and roads, alcohol sales, railroads, lifestyles, white and black schools and teachers, entertainment, jobs, business establishments, churches and synagogues, holidays--including religious celebrations, hospitals, social and civic organizations, slave ancestry, race relations, segregation, fires, transportation, Paynes Prairie, among many other subjects.
The 'Gainesville High School (Alachua County) Oral History Collection' is part of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program is an affiliated program of the University of Florida's Department of History. Its collections include approximately 4,000 interviews and more than 85,000 pages of transcribed material, making it the largest oral history archive in the South and one of the major collections in the country. The transcribed interviews are available for use by research scholars, students, journalists, genealogists, and other interested groups. Researchers have used our oral history material for theses, dissertations, articles, and books.
Digitization of the collection has been funded in part by the generous donation of Caleb and Michele Grimes.

Abstract: George Washington's interest in bookkeeping began in 1747 when at the age of 15 he started his first ledger and lasted until his death in 1799. His book-keeping records span a period of fifty years. This manuscript reveals a unique side to President Washington's personality and recounts his inherent desire for accuracy and honesty in all dealings.
Anyone who has seen a copy of George Washington's signature becomes aware of the meticulous care with which he wrote. This precision and attention to particulars carried over into his books of account. Washington learned to write a good hand, and his manu-scripts and account books have a legibility resembling an engraving on a steel plate. Of particular interest to those who are interested in George Washington as an accountant, are the beginnings of his educational background which caused him to develop the character-istics of an accountant.
His early education was received from his father, who besides his interest in agriculture, had a business interest in an iron foundry. Of interest to George, while under his father's tutelage, were his father's surveying instruments which probably led to his own interest in the use of numbers. At the age of 13, after the death of his father, he was sent to Reverend Mayre's school in Fredericksburg, Virginia where he needed to cross the Rappahannock River from his family's farm to the school building at St. George's Parish.
The copybooks which he wrote during this period of school at-tendance are preserved in the Library of Congress. The earliest of Washington's copybooks contain verbatim excerpts from The In-structor, or Young Man's Best Companion by George Fisher (Lon-don, c. 1730).1 From this popular textbook, the young student wrote copiously and carefully the lettering for a Round Hand and an Italian Hand, the rules for measuring, for arithmetical computations, and rules for square and cube roots. It also gave models and forms of business papers, such as notes, bills, receipts, leases, and deeds. Introductory material on bookkeeping was also provided in The Instructor even though surviving copybooks do not contain his exer-

Peter_B necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 276 diseños de 69 diseñadores freelance.
We need a logo for our brandnew company. We distribute sports/activity products with a focus on safety, fun, quality, good design. Our company will sell both retail and wholesale, so we'd like a logo that is serious (not stiff) and radiates clean fun design.
Our company is located in Sweden and we will service the entire Nordic region (Sweden, Denmark, Norway Finland).
People in the Nordic area are sensitive to good, simple & clean design.
The logo should be easy to read and remember.
Get Nordic
We are launching a brand new company.
Our company will sell wholesale & retail sports/activity/outdoor products with the following themes: safety, fun, quality, good design.
We need a clean "Nordic" look, a design that can fit right in with other Swedish design, simple, practical, sleek, stylish, but not too stiff, sterile, boring (we're an activity products company!).
We want to profile ourselves as "hip", yet "professional" at the same time. So the logo may be somewhat playful yet simple and tasteful.
We are open to stylized elements containing Nordic ideas.
The logo will be used on all elements in our company, from business cards, corporate website, large event banners, print brochures, signage, etc.
Tagline: Your kids do.
- Logo should scale well, from banner-style (home page) to business card to big banner for use in events.
- Logo should look good on dark gray background
- Simple & Clean
- Orange-red or (lime)green preferred
- With or without graphic (eg font only, or some design elements acceptable)
- Nordic doesn't mean cold & winter. The logo should be great for any season, or season-agnostic.
- We need vector files in Fireworks format, as well as font files so that we can tweak when needed.
- Get Nordic should be two words, not GetNordic.
- No animals (bear, elks reindeer, moose, whatever).
- No beveling, embossing, drop shadowing to style the font
- No cartoons or comic fonts.
- No comets, arcs, bows, bananas, large curves
- No neon colors (except maybe lime green)
- Not too many colors
- No snow, ice, crystals, "cold"
- No x-mas or evergreen trees (probably)

Country music legend George Jones posted the above YouTube video to his website two days ago in which in the first half he thanked his fans for their continued support and their well wishes during his recent respiratory infection that hospitalized him for a week last month and resulted in him having to cancel concert dates. But then in the second breath the 80 year old singer accused his 41 year old daughter Georgette Lennon and "her new husband" of telling lies and spreading bad rumors about him "on the Internet and Facebook." These "bad things" that his daughter (whose mother was the late country star Tammy Wynette) was allegedly saying about him, and reportedly are at the heart of a two decade old family feud, were "all about money" he said.
His daughter responded telling the Associated Press that she is "completely devastated" that her father would take their family business public in such a manner. Indeed the fact that an elderly man at age 80 & facing health issues would be bothered to care about what anyone may or may not be saying on Facebook seems a little silly to say the least. And since the topics he covers in the short video message tackle betrayal, money, family, substance abuse & rehab, and his quote "I am not the person they claim I am" have all the earmarks of a classic country song it's too bad the Country Music Hall of Famer didn't just write & record a song about his troubles instead of posting a YouTube rant. But maybe he still will or else maybe someone will AutoTune it - country style.

Seven decades after fatal crash, WWII rescue plane found in ice of Greenland
In November 1942, a US Coast Guard plane set forth on a daring rescue over the frozen tundra of Greenland, in search of a seven-member United States Army Air Force crew that had crashed.
In a single-engine Grumman Duck aircraft, Lieutenant John Pritchard Jr. and Radioman Benjamin Bottoms made an unprecedented landing on the Greenland ice cap to rescue two members of the B-17's crew. But the next day, after rescuing a third crew member, the Duck encountered whiteout conditions and crashed, leaving no survivors.
Seven decades later, an expedition team has discovered the plane's wreckage, buried in a glacier on Greenland's southeast coast, the Coast Guard announced Monday. Using radar and metal detection equipment, the team found black cables, consistent with wiring used in the aircraft, nearly 40 feet below the surface. Further analysis of video from a camera scope revealed additional aircraft components, the military said.
The 17-member expedition team consisted of scientists and explorers from the Coast Guard and North South Polar Inc., which specializes in aircraft recoveries.
"The three men aboard this aircraft were heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country,'' Commander Jim Blow of the Coast Guard Office of Aviation Forces said in a statement. "The story of the Grumman Duck reflects the history and the mission of the Coast Guard, and by finding the aircraft we have begun to repay our country's debt to them.''
The find followed nearly three years of research.
Bottoms, a Georgia native, was assigned to the Coast Guard Air Station in Salem, Mass. in October 1939, according to a Coast Guard biography. In early 1942 he became radioman of the Duck as part of the wartime Greenland patrol.

These definately appear on the list and I'm pretty sure I've got a load of swordsman as well! What obscure units will you be putting together in the next 9 months before oldhammer day at foundry? I'm intending to add half orcs and hobgoblins to my chaos army. What else isn't getting enough oldhammer love? Let's resurrect all the colourful and
unloved fantasy archetypes that made old school fantasy gaming everything we loved!

From the living room of Barry Diller's Manhattan apartment in the Carlyle Hotel, it is possible, on a clear day, to see the Midtown skyline, where the Condé Nast building rises like a ziggurat from the Gilded Age of magazine journalism. The view was an appropriate one for a man who in the autumn of 2010 was about to pour millions of dollars into the dead tree business.
Diller runs IAC, a portfolio of Internet companies that includes Match.com, OkCupid and Vimeo. His tolerance for risk is such that his friend David Geffen once described the fireplug of a billionaire as having "elephant balls." Diller's bets often pay off. He owns one of the biggest sailing yachts in the world. His neighbor is Mick Jagger. Print journalism, though, would be a different kind of gamble for him.
Story Continued Below
( Sign up for Politico Magazine's Friday Cover email)
Joining Diller in his living room was 92-year-old stereo magnate Sidney Harman. A few weeks earlier, Harman had paid $1 to buy Newsweek from the Washington Post Co. The once-proud magazine was in a death spiral, having lost more than $70 million in the previous two years, after various failed efforts to save it had only resulted in circulation plunging to half of what it had been a few years earlier, an exodus of marquee writers and a full-fledged identity crisis. Harman—who had taken on what a well-placed source told me was nearly $75 million in liabilities for his $1—needed a turnaround artist.
And there she was, perched next to Diller, legs crossed, a perfect tousle in her blond bob: Tina Brown, the legendary former editor of Vanity Fair and the New Yorker. Famous for generating "buzz," Brown had remade the magazine business in the 1980s and 1990s. By 2010, she was editing the Daily Beast, a two-year-old online magazine owned by Diller, which had generated much buzz while losing $10 million a year. Now, they were talking with Harman about a merger of the two money-bleeding properties. It made a certain kind of sense: Newsweek's print advertising still fetched far more money than online ads, while the Beast presumably had the digital savvy Newsweek lacked, if no business model to speak of.
Already, Brown had met with Harman in the Hamptons to eat quiche and talk shop. She was intrigued by Harman's merger idea and responded to it with a long letter laying out her vision for Newsweek. By the time they met in Diller's home, Harman had taken to calling her "princess" and "my beauty."
"Tina really, really wanted this thing," says a person with knowledge of the negotiations. "She wanted one last stab at a print magazine."
Her previous run at a magazine had ended famously in 2002, after she bombed through some $50 million in 2 1/2 years on a doomed monthly called Talk. In 2006, she had tried, and failed, to land the top job at Time. Now, venerable Newsweek represented a chance to restore luster to her career. "I think the business plan was that Tina was going to be fabulous," says the person familiar with the negotiations. "I literally don't think there was ever a different plan."
"Tina really, really wanted this," says a person with knowledge of the negotiations. "One last stab at a print magazine."
As a member of the board of the Washington Post Co. when it sold Newsweek to Harman, Diller knew just how much trouble the magazine was in, but he warmed to the idea. Harman would carry more of the losses on his books, and Newsweek, despite an operating loss of nearly $40 million in 2009, was still able to generate $165 million in revenue from advertising and newsstand sales—cash that would conceivably allow Diller to pretty up the Beast's balance sheet and keep analysts off his back.
At one point, word leaked that Diller was considering such a deal, and Beast staffers were relieved when it looked like the negotiations might fall through. But the conversations promptly resumed. Staffers made jokes about escaping a burning building only to have it chase them down the street.
That burning building was now sitting in Diller's living room. The group had started in Bemelmans Bar downstairs, where deals are struck over Gershwin and martinis, but Harman couldn't hear much. So they repaired to Diller's pad, where Harman launched into his pitch, explaining how he wanted to run Newsweek. He had a vague vision to "connect the dots" and synthesize weekly news. He wanted to play a role.
You have to let Tina be the editor she is, Diller told Harman. Making her into something she's not simply won't work.
It was right around this time that Brown, forever in high heels, stood to make her way to the bathroom. As she crossed Diller's marble floor, she wiped out and smacked her face on the ground, according to a source who was not involved in the negotiations but who knows the Harman family. ("That probably happened," Brown told me. "I'm always slipping on floors.")
It was the type of mishap that Brown, weaned on British tabloids, would never omit from a story about the tribulations of the elite. And neither shall we, for no omen is more fitting. Three years later, Brown will have tumbled completely out of journalism, Diller will have lost north of $100 million ($70 million alone of it as a result of the Newsweek merger, he recently told me), and Harman will be dead. The NewsBeast experiment will be ruled a historic failure, perhaps the last great magazine flameout. This is the after-action report.
Tina Brown once told a joke about immigrating to America on the Concorde. She told this joke on Liberty Island while wearing a Donna Karan gown and hosting a $500,000 launch party for Talk magazine, a decadent fin-de-siècle bash for Hollywood stars, supermodels and assorted cultural and business titans (among them Barry Diller) who were ferried to the foot of the Statue of Liberty to picnic on blankets under Chinese lanterns.

Roberts' Supreme Court's conservative assault on Civil Rights
Ever since the first 20 and some odd African "indentured servants" disembarked from that Dutch man of war in Jamestown, VA in 1619, Africans in America and later African Americans have been engaged in a pitched battle with state governments and the national government to recognize and protect their human and civil rights and civil liberties.
All too often state legislatures, the national government and courts have failed to acknowledge and protect the fundamental humanity of those who have struggled through indentured servitude, lifelong servitude, Jim Crow, and now post-Jim Crow oppression in the United States.
In 1662 Colonial Virginians' struggled to address the status of "children got by Englishman upon a negro woman." Should those children be slave or free? It was determined by Act XII, December 1662 that "all children borne in this country shall be held bond or free according to the condition of the mother."
In 1667 the good Christians in Virginia struggled with the issue of does baptizing the enslaved alter that enslaved person's status? It was determined by Act II September, 1667 that "conferring of baptisme doth not alter the condition of the person as to his bondage or ffreedome."
Finally, in 1669 Virginians' determined that a slave master could not be found guilty of murder for the casual killing of an enslaved person. Act I, October 1669 it was determined "if any slave resist his master…and as a result of the punishment should chance to die…that his death shall not be acompted ffelony…since it cannot be presumed that prepense malice…should induce any man to destroy his own estate."
Whether it is the aforementioned actions by the Virginia Colony, the Three Fifth's Compromise (Article I, Section 2), the Fugitive Slave Provision (Article IV, Section 2), Dred Scott v. Sanford (1857) or Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), American history is replete with examples of the states, courts, and the national government failing to protect the humanity, rights and liberties of Africans in American and later African Americans.
The most recent example of this complete and utter failure of judicial reasoning and the court's unwillingness to protect the rights of African Americans is the Supreme Court striking down the use of the map that determines which states must adhere to the preclearance provision of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The map determined which states must get federal permission before they implement changes to their voting laws. As NBC News put it the "5-4 decision by Chief Justice John Roberts, leaves the future of the law deeply uncertain because it will be up to a sharply divided Congress to redraw the map, if it can agree on one at all."
Many court watchers and analysts are arguing that this most recent court term demonstrates as NPR's Nina Totenberg writes that the most recent decisions, "has Roberts steadily pulling the court to the right, acting strategically to achieve his conservative goals." In reality, Roberts is not pulling the court to the right. Roberts is merely the culmination of a long history of conservative judicial activism that has been working since the Burger Court (1969-1986) to overturn the Civil Rights and civil liberty protections provided by the Warren Court (1953-1969). The Roberts Court is the new tip of an old judicial iceberg.
The Warren Court is considered by many to have been the most "liberal" in the history of the Supreme Court. Warren gave us the Brown decision in 1954, the exclusionary rule in Mapp v. Ohio in 1961to prevent tainted evidence from being used in court and demanding that police get warrants to conduct searches; our Miranda rights in Miranda v. Arizona 1966; and the right to counsel in state cases Gideon v. Wainwright (1963).
Since the Warren Court, the Burger Court, the Rehnquist Court, and now the Roberts Court (2005 – present) have worked to overturn judicial precedent in the areas of protections for criminal defendants (US. V. Leon (no relation) 1984 and Nix v. Williams 1984), they have tilted the scales in favor of the police and prosecutors (Wyoming v. Houghton 1999 and Hudson v. Michigan 2005), and have made it more difficult to use racial statistics to show bias in death penalty cases (McCleskey v. Kemp 1987).
Now with the recent decision in Shelby County v. Holder the Roberts Court has continued the conservative assault on Civil Rights as he and his henchmen have ignored the facts of voter suppression outlined in Voter Suppression in 2012; Past is Prologue. Roberts wrote, "Our country has changed, and while any racial discrimination in voting is too much, Congress must ensure that the legislation it passes to remedy that problem speaks to current conditions…" Yes, Congress must ensure that legislation speaks to current conditions but the Court must also stand by the precedent established and protect the rights of voters who have historically been and are currently targets of state actors who's sole aim is to deny people the right to vote based on race, age, and other factors that tend to indicate party affiliation.
If, as Roberts wrote, "There is no doubt that these improvements are in large part because of the Voting Rights Act…The Act has proved immensely successful at redressing racial discrimination and integrating the voting process" then why did he choose to essentially strike it down?
Justice Scalia provided great insight into their mind set when he stated in oral arguments, "I think it (reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act) is attributable, very likely attributable, to a phenomenon that is called perpetuation of racial entitlement..."
A distant predecessor, Chief Justice Roger Taney, summed it this way in Dred Scott v. Sanford (1857), in describing Black people: "They had for more than a century before been regarded as beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations, and so far unfit that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect."
