For a word so simple, "Peace" has a habit of attaching itself to special contexts and big ideas. It is just not the kind of word that comes up in everyday communication.
Unless you're Melody Porter.
Porter is the associate director in the Office of Community Engagement and Scholarship at the College of William & Mary. For her, "peace" is as common as "sincerely," "best wishes" or "warm regards." She frequently closes her emails with the word, reworking an inaccessible term into one fit for everyday household use.
Porter's attitude with words is a good reflection of how she treats other big ideas. Porter is taking on change, equality and social justice and making them accessible to students at a grassroots level. Through her work with 26 regional, national and international alternative breaks and her oversight of many local groups, Porter helps students realize that impact is not just for world leaders but for them as well.
"It's all about helping people see the issues that are very real in many people's lives and figuring out ways to address them as part of the same community together," says Porter. "I believe in the power of mutual service to transform lives and create social change."
Porter sees her calling as "working for social justice in the world, and equipping others to do so with skill, sensitivity and great love." She says the core of her involvement at William & Mary lies in revealing to people their own interconnectedness.
"Through all of my professional and volunteer experiences, and life in general, I have seen how connected and interdependent people and communities are everywhere," says Porter. "We are deeply connected and not separate from each other in ways that we act like we are. It's hard for us to see that we really are—our opportunities, our successes, our hopes—all dependent on the opportunities, the successes and the hopes of others."
Alternative breaks are trips built around a community service component and occur during academic breaks. These service-oriented, hands-on experiences frequently take place in communities very different from those most students are familiar with; most have been affected by poverty and the problems stemming from it. These unique experiences allow students to see issues and the people affected by them up close. That involvement allows students to advocate for change from a new, more informed angle and leaves a lasting impact.
"I think that [the alternative break experience] encourages people to see themselves as a part of the same community," she says. "It also encourages people to build relationships with people who are affected by certain issues and see how they're affected personally. That makes the work have more longevity and fire to it."
Since Porter began working at William & Mary in 2008, the level of passion, energy and dedication she has brought to the programs and student volunteers she oversees has attracted national attention. In 2010 she was honored as Staff Person of the Year by Break Away, an organization that recognizes Porter as one of the influences at the forefront of the service trip and alternative break revolution.
"Melody has not been in her position long at William & Mary, but is having a clear and profound effect on the students she is working with, the peers she works for, the greater campus community, and the national alternative break movement," said Jill Piacitelli, Break Away's executive director. "She digs at the foundations of what she is working to build through real listening, intentional adoption of best practices and learning through trying and innovating. She is one of the real stand outs in the alternative break world right now. Many eyes are upon her and the work she's engaged in."
Leaders like Porter with a heart for others and a fire for eradicating social injustice don't appear on the scene over night. Porter has an extensive history in community service. After graduating with a B.A. in political science and religion she dove right into the world of community development and service as a long-term volunteer in South Africa and Philadelphia. She earned her master's of divinity degree and continued her work in the areas of social justice and and community development as a associate minister. As a result of her background in public service, she has helped manage and build several programs for undeserved communities.
From her years of work and volunteering, Porter knows first-hand that success doesn't always come right away. Porter's motivation is sustained by a philosophical and in some ways theological foundation, and her her supportive environment makes a big difference when things get tough.
"What keeps me motivated is knowing that when I am working for justice that even if I don't see successes right away that I'm being authentic to the way that I've been created to be as a person," she says. "And when you do this in community, you have the energy of others and I've been very lucky to be surrounded by students and colleagues who can pick it up and stoke the fire when I need it to be stoked."
As her experiences have shaped her, Porter hopes that the alternative breaks and community engagement opportunities will help shape and mold students into leaders who see the world in a more connected way.
"I hope that all of our participants in our alternative breaks will take away some skills and commitment to being an active part of their communities and the broader human community," Porter said. "That may look like choosing to do things that are harder, or playing less into consumerism and superficiality and instead offering their resources, time and voice to benefiting others—particularly those who are marginalized. And, I believe that as hard as those choices may sometimes be, they will result in a richer, more connected life with lots more happy in it!"
We all the know that the order of changing the world is not an easy one. But for those who think changing the world is too hefty of a task, Porter offers these words:
"Most people who have been involved and working with social justice have had some success measured in many different ways," she says. "I think the point is…we become more human when we try. And part of being human is that it's hard but it's also more real and ultimately so much more gratifying."

Hi there! The card I am sharing today is made for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge. It also uses the colors from Color Throwdown's latest challenge.
Just before Sale-A-Bration ended I wound up with the Irresistibly Yours as my free SAB product but just haven't had a chance to use it until now. I decided the blue and green would look lovely sponged on the leaf vine design.
I chose one of my favorite blue-green combos - Bermuda Bay and Old Olive, sponging with various intensity and in a somewhat random fashion. Once the sponging was complete, the panel was layered on a piece of textured Old Olive card stock, with both layers then adhered to the Kraft card base.
I love this sentiment, it just speaks to me about the untapped potential in all of us. It and the butterfly are from the Butterfly Basics stamp set. A bit of Gold Baker's Twine and Basic Rhinestones add the finishing touches.
As always, your visit and comments are so appreciated! Please be sure to use the links above to check out all the great inspiration.

The controversy between the wave theory and the emission theory of light early in the nineteenth century has been a subject of numerous studies. Yet many is- sues remain unclear, in particular, the reasons for rejecting Young's theory of light. It appears that further progress in the field requires a better grasp of the overall situation in optics and related subjects at the time and a more thorough study of every factor suggested to be of importance for the dispute. This book is intended to be a step in this direction. It examines the impact of the concept of interference of light on the development of the early nineteenth- century optics in general, and the theory of light, in particular. This is not a his- tory of the wave theory of light, nor is it a history of the debate on the nature of light in general: it covers only that part of the controversy which involved the concept of interference. Although the book deals with a number of scientists, scientific institutions, and journals, its main character is a scientific concept, the principle of interference. While discussing the reasons for accepting or rejecting this concept I have primarily focused on scientific factors, although in some cases the human factor is examined as well. The book is a revised Ph. D. dissertation (University of Minnesota, 1984) writ- ten under Alan E. Shapiro.

iEAST StreamAmp AM160 Wireless Stereo Amplifier Review
Time to dust off those speakers and put them to good use!
What is the iEAST StreamAmp AM160?Multi-room is very much the buzzword in today's audio technology. The days of that 'special' room in the house that had the Hi-Fi system in it along with the home computer, thus rendering all other rooms quiet, boring and scary are long gone. Nowadays you can have anything you want in every room of the house. From Sky TV, streaming video and music, these can all be played independently in several rooms across many devices. If the goal was to ensure no one talks to or even looks at each other when you are all at home, then we have well and truly succeeded.
One manufacturer looking to take a slice of the streaming market pie is Chinese brand iEast. The company started in late 2015 and is part of a much bigger Chinese company UYESEE that specialises in wireless audio streaming. iEAST offer a range of products that allow you to easily stream audio to multiple rooms in the house. Their StreamAmp AM160 that we have for review here is a wireless multi-room stereo amplifier that offers all the features you would expect from a multi-room streaming device such as wireless connectivity and USB storage playback but with the addition of an amplifier for connecting to an existing pair of passive speakers.
iEAST's philosophy is to offer Sonos level products at an affordable price. Due to be launched in September 2017 with an RRP of £239, this could breathe new life into those high quality but redundant speakers that you might have laying around the house. Read on to see how the StreamAmp fares during our tests...
Design, Connections & ControlThe StreamAmp AM160 is all black with a nice brushed black aluminium effect to all sides. It's compact in size, similar to a small paperback book or external hard drive, measuring just 200mm deep x 115mm wide x 33mm high (excluding the Wi-Fi antenna) and weighs 650g. It's small enough that it won't look out of place next to a pair of speakers or can even be hidden behind them if needs be.
Features & SpecsThe StreamAmp has (for such a small device) an impressive 80W per channel amplification. It does not have any internal fans so is completely silent during operation and it also does not get hot during use. The wireless as previously mentioned is 802.11 b/g/n on the 2.4Ghz band, which should be sufficient for audio streaming purposes. It has an SNR of 87dB and decoding is up to 24bit, 192kHZ. The audio formats supported include FLAC, WAV, AAC-LC, HE-AAC, MP3 and WMA.
The streaming options via the iEast App are quite generous including Spotify, Pandora, Napster, Tidal and several others that we've never heard of, although sadly this doesn't include Amazon Music. Internet Radio is also available through the app and this appeared to include all the BBC stations and hundreds more. Via the USB port you can connect a flash drive or external USB, you know that one you pre-loaded with your favourite Britney Spears albums that you keep hidden away – for example .
Plus, as it also supports AirPlay you can simply stream the audio of whatever is on your Smartphone, be that YouTube, Amazon Music and anything else that takes your fancy. Pure Direct is also supported and it works with DNLA compliant NAS storage. A lot of bases covered here.
How was it setup and tested?The setup is very quick and easy, you firstly get the iEast app onto your smartphone or tablet, then follow the basic instructions in the app to get it all set up. It wasn't the quickest of processes as the Wi-Fi seemed very slow to get connected and we had to force close the app and then retry it to get it to connect. Continuing with the Wi-Fi setup issues, we also had a period where it just would not connect to any Wi-Fi network, this issue seemed to resolve itself but this area could do with a bit of tweaking to remove these issues. Once this was out of the way, during our testing it didn't lose connection at any time. There is no Bluetooth, it's purely a Wi-Fi connection.
For our testing we set it up with a pair of SVS SBS-01 speakers, oldies but goodies still in our humble opinion. Unlike the KitSound Reunion system we reviewed recently, there are no independent bass or treble controls here, just the volume control. We tested with a variety of music covering orchestral, pop and heavy rock to see how the system coped together with the audio via the USB port, RCA cables and wirelessly from our Smartphone.
PerformanceGiven that the StreamAmp has a retail price of £239, it needed to perform well and it certainly did. Firstly, don't try and use this system as the audio source for video playback from your Smartphone as it has an audio delay of about 2 seconds, plus when pausing and playing a video it has a similar 1-2 second lag before anything changes. There is no delay when using the app however.
Putting the audio quality aside for one moment, the ease of playing back audio from multiple sources cannot be underrated here. Whether it be from your Smartphone, via the app using Internet radio, the supported streaming services or simply from a connected USB drive or via the RCA cables it was effortless. The iEast app offers easy access to all these sources without any hassle whatsoever.
Moving onto the audio and this is clearly a subjective area and as mentioned previously is obviously dependant on the quality of the speakers you have connected to the StreamAmp. It also was very noticeable when playing back a lower quality MP3 for example, but than that would be expected. Overall we were very happy with the results, a decent quality source was played back as we expected and the quality was excellent with no noticeable deterioration or any other unwanted issues. The StreamAmp performed as we hoped and did everything it stated it would do and did it very well, no complaints here.
iEast StreamPro M30 Multiroom StreamerIf £239 is too much for your budget and you either have no spare passive speakers or have an existing (but not wireless enabled) audio system then the Stream Pro at £115 may be one to look at. It offers exactly the same functionality via the iEast app and the same features and connection options as the StreamAmp, but without the amplifier.
Connect to an active speaker system or an amplifier that is currently not wireless enabled and you can easily stream audio from your Smartphone or by a connected USB drive. For outputs it has the standard analog stereo port plus a SPDIF optical output. Out of the box it comes with a remote control, RCA and line-in cables together with a USB cable and USB power adapter.
As the Stream Pro works with the same iEast app we experienced the same excellent results as we saw with the StreamAmp, it worked perfectly and any audio we streamed was played back without issue. Following on from the easy to use App, with both the SteamAmp and Stream Pro connected, it was a piece of cake to select the different devices and have different audio playing on each device. Multi-room at its finest.
Conclusion8SCOREOUT OF10
- Good powerful sound
- Easy to setup and install
- Huge range of streaming options
- Excellent features
- Wi-Fi set up a bit flakey
- No remote control
iEAST StreamAmp AM160 Wireless Stereo Amplifier Review
Should I buy one?Due to be released in September with an RRP of £239, the StreamAmp AM160 offers a lot in such a small package. Helping to breathe new life into a pair of old but high-quality speakers you might have stored in the loft, the 80W per channel amplifier certainly packs a punch.
The iEast App offers quick access to a multitude of audio streaming options plus any connected sources in one very easy-to-use package. With AirPlay supported the options are almost endless. The Wi-Fi network took a few attempts to connect via the setup in the app, but once confirmed it remained connected, that's about the only negative we could think of.
What alternatives are available?As for alternatives, there are a huge number of devices that will stream audio from your Smartphone or other connected devices, but to closely match the StreamAmp the most likeliest candidates are the Yamaha MusicCast WXA50 which is available at a significantly higher price of £395 but does have improved connected abilities and a few more bells and whistles. There are of course cheaper all-in-one solutions, but if you already have a good quality pair of speakers that you want to utilise for audio streaming, then the StreamAmp AM160 is definitely one worthy of your consideration.

Contact lens-assisted transepithelial corneal collagen cross-linking for progressive keratoconus treatment in extremely thin corneas
Poster Details
First Author: M.Belovari CROATIA
Co Author(s): I. Knezovic H. Raguz
Abstract Details
To report a case of forty eight year old female with progressive bilateral keratoconus who had undergone contact lens-assisted transepithelial corneal collagen cross linking (TE-CXL) using combined riboflavin solution.
Knezovic Vision Group eye clinic, Zagreb, Croatia
A 48 year old female had rapid progression of keratoconus on both eyes noted on Scheimpflug tomography (stage III-IV) according to Krumeich classification and CCT 224/215 microns at the thinnest location. UV barrier free soft contact lens was soaked in hypoosmolar riboflavin solution four hours prior to surgery and placed over the cornea immediately before the CXL. TE-CXL (3 mW/cm²) was performed for 30 minutes using 0,1% topical riboflavin solution (Ricrolin-TE, every five minutes one hour prior and during the treatment). The left eye was treated first, and the right eye 1 month after. Follow-up period was 10 months.
Six months after the treatment both eyes showed improvement in corneal topography and the UCDVA was better. Eight months after the treatment BCDVA improved to 0,6 in both eyes using Rose K2 contact lenses and remained stable.
According to our clinical experience creation of an extra precorneal layer composed of a riboflavin-soaked contact lens and a thin subcontact lens riboflavin film could be promising to overcome the problems associated with performing collagen cross-linking in thin corneas.

Subject: Tut. On finding the best Clan members or Clan!!

The guide to having the most enjoyable clan for you on Mw2 ! !
This tutorial is based off of personal experience. I've been on both sides. The one looking for a clan, and the one recruiting.
Looking for a clan?
What to do if your looking for a clan.
Basically there are 4 things you need to ask yourself if your looking for a clan.
1.What kind of clan are you looking for? Example: Modding, GB, Quick Scoping, Jtaggers. Whatever.
2.Are you looking for a well known clan, new clan or just a low key one?
3.The people in the clan. Could you see yourself playing with them? Or even getting along?
4.One of the most important things, can you see yourself being satisfied and benefitting from the clan.
So now that you have your 4 base questions answered, make sure EVERYONE of these meets your criteria before trying out or asking to join.
There are many other things you will need to ask yourself before joining the clan as in.
*Am I willing to change my Gamer Tag.
*Will i devote enough time to this clan to actually have fun and get to know everyone.
*Are these people competitive enough.
*Do they have a high enough GB rank.
*Do I match their skill level.
*Will I leave the clan within a week.
*Will I get kicked out of the clan within a week.
*Do they have a website.
*Are they sponsored.
*Are there enough of the same people as me in the clan.
*Are they to amateur for me.
*Do they take gaming to serious.
*Instead of modding are they hacking.
*Instead of Jtagging they mod gamertag's.
*Do I have to donate to the clan and am i willing. Example: Microsoft points, Money for website maintenance .
*Am I not on enough.
THE DO'S: All those are great things to ask yourself before getting to involved with a clan. Make sure over 3/4 of the things on the list meet your standards. But most of all, enjoy the people your playing with and make sure they have the same skill level as you.
THE DONT'S: Don't get fooled into joining a clan though that is using you. As in you have a Jtag and host lobbies and the clan says, "We need a modder, we'll get you paying people if you do this for us." Then all they do is join the lobbies and outside of that you never play with them. Another example would be Graphics or a Website. They say "We need a site. If you build us one you can be in the clan.
I promise if you follow all these steps, you will find the most enjoyable clan on Mw2 that fit your needs.[/spoil]
Looking to start a Clan.
So you want to start a clan.
Starting a Clan can sometimes be tough. Either you can't find enough people to join, people aren't devoted enough or flat out, you don't know where to start.
What you need to do to get a solid foundation for a fun and successful clan.
1.Make sure you have a good friend as your co-host. Someone you get along with, you can play with, they match you skill level and so on.
2.Get a good name for a clan. Brain storm. Don't just pick one to hurry up and start recruiting. A good name can take you a far way.
3.Put great detail into the specifics on what you want the clan to do. Modding Gamer Tag's, Modding Gamer Score, Quick scoping, Sniping, Jtagging CoD5. All that.
4.Get a GB. Having a GB BEFORE the clan starts is a key to getting good players.
5.Create a Web Site. Having a site to back you up and show people who ask what you do, really shows off that you guys are legit.
6.Get a good Graphic that you can post on your GB. Make it so people remember.
THE DO'S: Ask around before you start your clan to find any similar clans. See if they want to merge with you and a couple of your friends. Tell them you guys were a Group of players and not a Clan. Honesty's the best way to get your way! Have everything planned out. Before you EVEN THINK about putting out an application or getting players for your clan, get all your stuff as if you've had this clan for months already. Get a site to back you up and show your legit. Get .com I have to say .webs is kind of lame haha.
THE DONT'S: The one huge thing you can NEVER do if your looking for people to join your clan is post on a site, "Starting a clan. Need members." I GUARANTEE 99.99% those clans will fail. Instead put "Infected Fourms CLAN RECRUITING NOW. NEED ________ MEMBERS" You will have way more people join than the other one.
And again I guarantee if you follow these steps, you will start a fun and successful clan.[/spoil]
Recruiting for a Clan
This is the easy part.
Getting new members for a clan is straight forward and doesn't require much effort. Remember, Quality over Quantity is MUCH better than Quantity over Quality. It's very easy to pick those few Quality members for your clan.
1.Never get people that say they just want to be in a clan. Don't accept people that just want a name to rep and have the same Gamer Tag as you.
2.WATCH OUT FOR LEACHERS. The people that ONLY want in the modding clan to get in a free lobby then you never hear from them again.
3.Make people back up what they say. Example: "Them: Ya I have a Jtag. You:What kind? Them:Xenon You:Ok, you're in!" That's a BIG no no. Make them host you a lobby, or make them make a video of there Jtag booting up. SOMETHING!!
4.Put out a good application. I'll list options for your app below.
5.Put specifics on what kind of members you want for your clan.
*Have a high GB rank.
*Can beat me in a 1v1 quick scoping
*Can host a lobby on point if I send you a KV
*Are good at modding Gamer Score
*Can mod other games just besides Mw2
*Have been in a clan before.
Put stuff like that in a post for good quality members.
Stuff you can put on an app.
GB Rank:
1v1 Record:
What you will offer the Clan:
Why you want to be in the Clan:
Favorite Gun:
How often are you on Mw2:
Transfer Cable:
What kind of computer:
Rapid Fire Controller:
Connection Speed:
HD or AV:
Squeaky Voice (haha):
Website Production:
Gfx Talent:
How many lobbies hosted:
Do you charge:
Can you beat OpTic Predator:
Do you have a criminal record:
THE DO'S: Don't put on your post what you want the application to be filled out as. They'll lie and put on the app
what you want to see. Make sure they meet the standard of at least 3/4 of what was on the app. If your starting a quick scoping clan. ALWAYS try the person out.
THE DONT'S: Never take anyone just off trust. People will ALWAYS lie to get what they want. That includes getting in a clan. Always remember, "Quality over Quantity". Don't ever get rid of of old clan members 'cause your sick of them or want new people. Don't ever accept anyone to try to get closer to another person.
Well I guarantee you if you read the section you needed to read and you follow each one of those steps, you will 100% sure find the PERFECT clan for you. If you have ANY questions, hit me up. I'm always here to answer ANYTHING you ask me about this tutorial.
Hope this helps!

LOS ANGELES (KABC) --The Los Angeles Police Department's Human Trafficking Task Force is ramping up its efforts to catch human traffickers in the San Fernando Valley.
Last year, officers made nine arrests for human trafficking, 25 arrests for pimping and pandering and arrested 755 johns.
In total, 12 victims of sex trafficking were rescued. Ten of those were teenage girls.
The task force, created two years ago, has focused on the San Fernando Valley. The city attorney's office has also created a new anti-sex and labor trafficking unit.
Councilwoman Nury Martinez said prostitution and the sex trade have long been a problem in her district, but the victims involved are getting younger.
"I just want to make sure that the message is clear: There is no place in my district for sex trafficking, for pimps or pedophiles or johns. Not on Sepulveda, not on Lankershim and nowhere in the streets or in any part of our cities," Martinez said.
The task force is working with neighborhood councils and encouraging residents to phone in tips. The city is also working with organizations that provide free diversion programs such as Journey Out to help women exit the world of commercial sexual exploitation.
"Nobody should ever think that coming here to buy or sell girls and women is every going to be tolerated. We are going to arrest you, you are going to go to jail and for all of the girls and women who are out there: You need to know that there is help for you and that we'll do anything that is necessary to rescue you," Martinez said.

By: BrightMove Recruiting Software
If your organization is fully invested in utilizing social media in recruitment practices, your current strategy most likely includes the big names in the game already (Twitter, LinkedIn, etc). For those looking to be on the cutting edge or possibly just looking to expand your current social media recruitment campaign, smaller sites focused on specific talents may push you to the next level. Social sites are quickly replacing the traditional résumé which makes understanding the various niche social media sites that much more crucial to professionals in the recruitment and talent management sector. Quora, Dribbble, and GitHub are a few of the larger niche sites to consider. An explanation of each site is detailed below along with a recommendation for how you might incorporate it into your current strategy.
About Quora
Quora is a question and answer site where users ask and answer questions as well as follow topics, questions, and other users. 1.3M users. 14.5M questions. User profiles highlight expertise and experience, detail the number of questions and answers the user has asked and given responses for, as well as the specific topics related to the user. You can search the top five answerers by topic. For instance, if you are looking for a Ruby on Rails expert, you can search for that keyword and find the top contributors.
Quora for Recruitment
Social media training site Social Talent puts it nicely: "Go fishing where the fish hangout". As Quora is a site where individuals ask questions and other users answer them, Quora subsequently has become "a gold mine of top talent".
People using Quora on a regular basis, having their answers voted highest aren't afraid to share their opinions and their expertise. They are comfortable with the subject matter they're discussing, they are thought leaders that drive industry topics, their opinion is held in high esteem by their peers and their knowledge is clearly credible. They are therefore, a wonderful pool for recruiters to pull from. But how do you, as a recruiter, approach them?
The key to recruiting on Quora (and many social media platforms for that matter) is respect. For Quora, that means joining the community and participating in the conversation, and in order to do that effectively you need to follow these 4 steps:
1. Fill Out Your Own Profile Properly
- Participate in the Conversation
- Identify Thought Leaders
- Reach Out to Industry Experts
Number one, just as you are assessing those you are interested in on Quora, they will be looking at you as well. Properly filling out your profile is key to generating interest from potential candidates. Number two, by participating in conversations (asking and answering questions), you will build up rapport with users and establish a reputation. Creating a profile gets your name out there, but participation generates respect from those you may want to hire in the future.
Third, Quora allows you to search by topic. If you are looking for someone with a specific skill set, you can search by keyword, view questions relating to the knowledge arena your potential hire should be in, identify the top answerers for those type of questions and voilà! You are on your way to a compiling a list of qualified candidates. Fourth, reach out to these candidates, introduce yourself and let them know what you're looking for. Even if they aren't interested in making a move then, you can keep them on your candidate bench for the future. Successful recruiting with Quora will rely on establishing and sustaining these relationships.
About Dribbble
Dribbble is a site specifically geared towards designers, from web and graphic designers to illustrators, typographers and logo designers. A smaller social media site, Dribbble is invitation-only to sign up and post and has just above 300k active users. Using Twitter as a comparison, on Dribbble, designers follow other designers whose work they are interested in and similar to a Tweet, a unit of activity on Dribbble is called a "shot". According to the site, "Dribbble is show and tell for designers". It is "A community of designers sharing screenshots of their work, process, and projects."
Dribbble for Recruitment
What Dribbble provides is a candidate database and a forum for contact and conversation. Many, if not all, designers will have their own portfolio or website where you can view their content. Utilizing this site is made that much easier. You can search for talent on Dribbble and then hire them for test assignments or visit their portfolio and website to see if you may be interested in proposing a job opportunity. Fairly straightforward…
About GitHub
GitHub has over 3.3M users and over 3.5M repositories, touting itself as "The world's most popular open source code repository site". What does that mean? In keeping with the Twitter analogy, Vivek Reddy, Founder of recruitment firm Entelo, says to think of GitHub like Twitter. "Engineers follow engineers whose work they like". Again, Twitter has tweets. A unit of activity on Github is a code commit. "Code can be forked…think re-tweeting (or re-mixing!)". Code repositories are referred to as "Repos". Starring a repository is the same as bookmarking it and those that have "starred" a repository are known as Stargazers. If someone on Github has a high follower count, this could mean "better developer" and could also mean they are harder to recruit.
If you aren't a techie, that entire explanation probably sounded like a foreign language (it is). In a nutshell, GitHub is a social network for programmers, a site where code can be shared and projects can be collaborated on and developed easier than ever before.
GitHub for Recruitment
The use of GitHub for recruitment will be similar to other niche sites. Create a profile, and search for the skill set that you need for the position you are trying to fill. Keep in mind that users do not connect to these sites in order to be scouted for job opportunities, so be respectful of those boundaries. Don't mass email job opportunities to every developer on GitHub. Contribute to the site to establish rapport or simply craft a personalized message as to why the user interests you and provide your contact information.
Niche sites are not going to be for every recruiter. A hard to fill position or perhaps a lot of open positions in a certain field may necessitate this type of strategy. For every site you utilize, however, coming away with even one high performing new recruit will be worth the effort.
For more recruiting and engagement strategies, continue on in the Social Media Series for articles about: LinkedIn. Facebook. Twitter. Google+. YouTube. Pinterest. Instagram. Yammer. Also look into advice on Managing Employee Use of Social Media, How to Create A Social Media Policy and Social Media Branding and Marketing strategies.

I don't do volunteer work primarily to benefit others, but rather to try to feel good about myself, and to feel purposeful, feelings of purposelessness having tormented me throughout this century, as my every attempt to build an audience sputters and dies. Helping others gives me fleeting feelings of being a worthwhile person.
In Los Angeles, I helped Latinos, Africans, and Koreans with their English as a volunteer for the Los Angeles Public Library's adult literacy program, and loved doing so. But then the program's administrators got wind of the fact that, because I find coffee shops too noisy and full of distractions, and am loath to distract others in libraries, I was inviting my students up to my apartment. I was huffily advised that my services were no longer required.
I re-relocated to the UK and volunteered for everything in sight. I was going to offer a teen acting workshop at a community centre in a disadvantaged neck of the SW London woods, but it turned out the centre's far greater interest was in my designing their annual report. I know from LA that people appreciate pro bono design work to exactly the same extent they pay you for it. I tutored teens at a state secondary school in Shepherds Bush, but was spending three hours travelling back and forth, and, frankly, didn't find the boys' yawning in my face for an hour per session terribly fulfilling. I volunteered for a suicide prevention hotline, imagining that my own experience of suicidal despair made me a splendid candidate for the job, only to discover first that you were allowed only to murmur something neutral and very vaguely supportive, like "I understand", and that you weren't allowed to do even that without extensive training. If the training were going to be as boring as the orientation meeting, I probably wasn't going to live through it to try, ultra-passively, to keep others alive.
The problem is that I passionately hate training. Two weeks ago, I went for a full day of training for a programme that benefits former offenders, as they're called here, who've just completed their prison sentences, and are trying to re-integrate into the society at large. It was exactly what I'd expected — and dreaded. Early on, we were divided into teams, each of which was given a huge piece of paper on which to write a definition of, for instance, mentoring. I suggested "teaching and guiding", but my teammate (and, yes, I am paraphrasing) preferred "teaching and guiding someone so they make good life choices and stay out of trouble because it's easy for ex-offenders to revert to earlier patterns of behaviour that aren't good for them and isn't good for the community". There there followed an extended group consideration of our various definitions, during which I was acutely aware of precious hours of my golden years being irretrievably lost.
There was, to be fair, a moment I enjoyed. As a group, we compiled a list of different kinds of physical abuse, one of which was drowning. (Drowning someone does indeed strike me as quintessentially abusive.) Then we had to divide up into little teams again, and make lists of signs of the different kinds of abuse. After my teammates and I had noted all the obvious ones, like bruises, welts, cuts, and so on, I proposed "bloated waterlogged corpse," which I thought an unmistakable indication of someone having drowned. When the snooty young woman who'd appointed herself our little team's spokesperson had to read that out, I managed to remain silent, but was unmistakably shaking with laughter. I don't think the two instructors got the joke, or appreciated my amusedness.
We learned that if our mentees couldn't afford busfare to our meetings, it was strictly forbidden for us to transfer a few quid into their accounts, as our mentees would then be able, if they were really clever and devious, to ascertain our surnames and addresses, and cause all manner of trouble for the programme as a whole. I wondered aloud why the presumption was that the beneficiaries of our altruism would turn us so awfully. The two instructors exchanged a look that said, "Well, I don't think we'll be using this guy." How dare I challenge their catastrophic expectations.
A long day, in not-pleasant and not-nearby Kings Cross, down the drain. And I'm still not helping anybody.

Critic Reviews for The Following: Season 2
All Critics (15) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (8)
This season instantly ratchets up the sadism with the aforementioned treatment of a comely corpse as a living doll. Unlike the first time around, that's pretty much doused my interest in playing along any further.
It's truly been an interesting change from the premise of last season.
I'm sure that Bacon knows that his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, would have solved all this in two episodes of The Closer.
Together, [Mark and Luke] make an incredible one-two punch of creepiness.
If this start is any indication of what's to come, I'm excited to watch this chilling thriller soaked in the dark and mysterious terror.
It should be a pleasure to watch Mr. Bacon in his first starring TV role, but his character is no more three-dimensional than any of the others.
Audience Reviews for The Following: Season 2
Praise Joe! The gritty and intense crime drama The Following continues to get darker in its second season. After being drawn out of hiding, convicted serial killer Joe Carroll seeks refuge with a religious cult and begins to manipulate them into doing his will; meanwhile former FBI agent Ryan Hardy works secretly to find and kill Carroll. The season is oddly structured as the transitions between the story threats are a little stark and uneven. However, the show does an interesting job at exploring themes of religion and family, and how they can be abused and perverted. There are some rough spots throughout the episodes and some failed subplots, but Season 2 of The Following is still fresh and exciting.

Animal Practice
Animal Practice is a new comedy centering on Dr. George Coleman, a top veterinarian with an impressive list of famous animal patients at the Crane Animal Hospital - a bustling New York City veterinary practice where it often seems as if the patients are running the place. Despite his unorthodox style, George has an undeniable gift with animals of all kinds - except the human kind. Much to his chagrin, George recently learned that his ex-girlfriend, Dorothy Crane, has inherited the family business and is now George's boss. Whip-smart and ambitious, Dorothy shakes up the hospital as she brings order to the chaos and butts heads with George's animal-friendly administration.
Animal Practice season 1(3151 views)
His name is George Coleman. He is a wonderful and very attentive doctor of veterinary clinic. Copes with responsibilities and has good reputation on the work.

But he is much worse talking to people. Every day in the hospital everything was okay. But one day things are changing. In place of the former head appears a new candidate. Now this place will be Dorothy. George knew her for a long time. In the past, they were still friends. He is and other workers are not enthusiastic about the new chief.

Building on last week's post about Moynihan Station, as well as the many before that, note the following from Chris Smith in New York Magazine:
Amtrak, which would move from Penn to Moynihan, won't commit until all three elected officials [Bloomberg, Paterson, and Corzine] are onboard. "Amtrak is the trickiest part," one Moynihan negotiation veteran says. "If it sees even a crack of daylight between the mayor, the governors, and the Port Authority, they'll drive an Acela right through it and kill this chance."
To add some context to Amtrak's role in this whole byzantine process, make sure you note this, too.

SAN MARINO — Flintridge Prep Coach Esteban Chavez came up with a plan of attack after the Rebels battled through a scoreless first half against San Marino Wednesday.
Chavez noticed the Titans' goalie, Elizabeth Hannan, was allowing rebound opportunities, so he told his players to put as many shots on net as possible.
"We saw in the first half [Hannan] never caught one ball, but she made some good saves," Chavez said. "We told the girls to just hit it direct and make sure they follow."

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) non-communicable diseases account for over 80% of the deaths in Armenia. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in Armenia, accounting for 54% of total deaths. And tobacco consumption is rising rapidly, varying between 64.2% and 69.4% among men in the 24 – 65 years age group. Certain habits, such as balanced food, regular exercising, avoiding smoking and alcohol are considered to be the simplest methods to avoid serious heath problems, and are very often neglected, though. It's widely known that the key to the healthy life starts from childhood. American Peace Corps (APC) and Armenian Red Cross Society (ARCS) work together to find out new ways to raise awareness about healthy lifestyle among children.
Thus ARCS and APC youth volunteers realized "Border to Border" program, which was a marathon combined with the seminars about healthy lifestyle organized in the remote communities of RA aiming at raising awareness about children's health including proper nutrition, exercising, and advantages of non-smoking and drinking.
Though many organizations have developed info materials promoting healthy lifestyle, many of these resources have not reached the 2/3 of the inhabitants living far from Yerevan. So the goal of the "Border to Border" program was to inform young people living in the villages using simple methods.
The marathon, which lasted 17 days, started on 3rd June; two groups, each consisting of 6 American volunteers, walked towards each other from Armenian-Georgian and Armenian-Iranian borders. Each group walked 275 km, after which the groups met in Yeghegnadzor, where on June 20th a final and summing –up event took place.
Along with walking, the volunteers distributed thousands of information materials about children's health focusing on correct food, exercising, and avoiding smoking and alcohol. APC and ARCS volunteers, cooperating with local community members and representatives of NGOs organized interactive seminars for 450 children in 11 communities of RA in the framework of the marathon. The team also spread information materials about ARCS and APC in Armenia. "Border to Border" program will be an example, how marathon-walk can be used as a symbol for keeping health and stressing its role.

CHAMBERSBURG, PA. - Some people save their money for a rainy day.
Those who attended the Fall Family Fitness Fest at the Chambersburg YMCA on Saturday saved their energy.

Whether we're on the mountain top, or in the valley, we all need encouragement. As human beings it's something that we crave. As Christians, we have the Holy Spirit living inside of us. Jesus is always with us to provide encouragement, to be that strong place to fall when we're weak. People may fail us, but He's always there to hold us up, to be our rock when we feel like we can't take another step, and we've lost hope. He's the reason we don't have to give up, or lose hope.
If you're feeling hopeless, discouraged, broken, weak, or in despair, I pray that this song will encourage you. I pray that you will find your peace, hope, rest, and strength in Jesus . . . the one true source of all of these things.
Praise the Lord that He is our refuge and our strength!
Praise the Lord that He is our refuge and our strength!
These walls around you are caving in
And your life seems like it is wearing thin
Your hope is drowning in despair
It looks like you're not going anywhere
Step inside this Heart and then you'll see
Such a love that is so amazing

Ft. Lauderdale International Airport – U.S. Headquarters

We have addressed this issue many times before, but it's always worth a reminder.
In this heavily regulated environment, innocent mistakes are bound to happen sooner or later. If the FAA discovers the mistake during an inspection it could be costly. If you discover the mistake prior to an audit, you can take the "bite" out of it. When you become aware of an inadvertent violation of the regulations, confess! You can use the Voluntary Self-Disclosure formal process. In that process you tell the FAA:
- We discovered that we made a mistake
- This is how it happened.
- This is how we have corrected the error
- This is what we have done to prevent it from happening again.
Depending on the error, the FAA may just slap your wrist, but civil penalties (monetary fines) are usually precluded. In addition, the local inspectors will see this as a sign of good faith and sincere intent and that may very well enhance your standing with them. If you need assistance, please contact us for guidance.
The FAA Drug Abatement Division has altered their position on how somebody is activated in a safety sensitive position. If a newly hired employee has to undergo extensive indoctrination or pre-performance training, they should not be "active" on the random testing list until they are actually performing a safety sensitive function. If 180 days elapses since hiring the individual, another pre-employment test must be done. The FAA interpretation of random testing for alcohol, is that it must be completed "just prior to, during or just after" the performance of safety sensitive functions. Obviously, if they are not performing a safety sensitive function for the company yet, they would not comply with this requirement.
You as the employer must notify Flightline Drug Testing when somebody starts functioning in a safety sensitive role, so that they may be activated on your random list. In order to avoid the possibility of someone being "missed", we activate everyone for random testing once their pre-employment test result is entered into the system. If you are anticipating conducting extensive training that will delay somebody working in a safety sensitive position, you must notify Flightline in writing just after the test to place them in an "inactive random status" and then you must remember and provide written notice to activate him once he completes his training. Your monthly roster sent to you will reflect their status.
Part 61.14(a) applies to individuals who hold certificates. Refusal to test can result in either (a) Denial of an application for a certificate or (b) Suspension or revocation of any certificate, rating or authorization under FAR 91.17 and Part 121. If there are reasons to test anyone in your company under "Reasonable Suspicion" the reasons for the testing must be documented and written on a form. The person being tested must have an opportunity to either agree to the testing to be performed or they can "refuse" to take the testing. Everyone should know that a "refusal" is treated the same as a "positive" test and is required to be reported to the FAA in Washington DC within two (2) business days. Flightline is always available to review any potential scenarios and provide advice to you on testing.

There are scores of information available on the internet concerning products to beat drug tests, including names, prices and websites to order products.
There are many products to mask certain drug testing. The categories are Detox Drinks, Urine Additives, Synthetic Urine Substitute and Follicle Shampoo.

1. Eating seasonally & locally available foods. Without electricity to power refrigerators, major grocery stores to stock overly processed foods, or supply chains to distribute out-of-season fruits, community members mostly rely on local produce. If you need vegetables, you walk a mere two minutes to the big mango tree where a line of amayis will be waiting with their day's pick. If you want fresh maize, you simply pluck off an ear from the stalks that surround your compound. Malawians don't amass much trash because instead of buying tiny snack packs that contain six chemical-infused apple slices, they eat whole foods that come directly from the land. Furthermore, most Malawians only eat foods that are in season. Waiting patiently for mangoes to ripen is difficult, but it makes them even more delicious!
2. Pile diving. This refers to the act of rifling through huge heaps of used clothing on market days. Usually, (at least in my village), crazy salesmen stand behind the mounds shouting out prices, dancing around, and mixing up the piles so that customers can see all there is to offer. The selection is completely random, from long red velvet overalls, to Ralph Lauren jackets, to Cape Cod t-shirts. You never know what kind of gems may be lurking in those piles, but they will probably cost less than a dollar. This kind of shopping beats any mall excursion any day. Plus, it's all outside in the fresh air!
3. Raising self-sufficient children. In the US, parents go to ridiculous lengths to make sure that their children are safe. They douse their kids in Purell, put them on leashes, and restrict them to playing in limited spaces. In Malawi, children run around with knives and begin farming at the age of five. While I admit the knives may be a little dangerous, the point is that Malawian children have the freedom to make their own mistakes and learn from these experiences. This allows them to be capable of babysitting their younger siblings at age eight, managing donut sales at age ten, and cooking over a fire at age twelve. Malawian kids are resilient, resourceful, and a bit wild. (Just like Peace Corps Volunteers).
4. Nurturing a sense of community. Back home, I barely knew my next door neighbors. In Malawi, that would be unimaginable. Neighbors are usually literally family, but also figuratively family, in that they take care of each other as if they were true brothers and sisters. When a family sits down to eat, they invite anyone that is around to join, regardless if they've prepared enough food. When someone passes away, the entire village drops what they are doing to attend the day-long ceremony. This sense of community extends even beyond the village, where the best example I can provide is the camaraderie that develops among the hodgepodge of passengers on a typical minibus. After only twenty minutes together, the passengers will be sharing snacks, cracking jokes and making tsk-tsks and ay-ay's (typical Malawian noises) in perfect unison. I love it. Now, imagining going back to America where people sit in morbid silence, tapping away on their smartphones, I can only cringe.
5. Road snacks. The best part of road snacks is feeling like a TOTAL BALLER. All of Malawi's major roads are lined with vendors who sell mandasi, corn on the cob, hard boiled eggs, sodas, apples, peaces, lollipops -you name it. When your minibus pulls over (approximately every 8 minutes), the bus is swarmed by people selling their goods through the bus's windows. It. Is. Awesome. You can dine on an array of delicious treats without even leaving your seat! (Yes, America has drive-thrus but road snacks require 1/10th of the effort at 1/10th the price.)

text: CardiMuscleman 1535 Report post Posted January 23, 2018 Having been a member of my local gym for the last six months of so, here are some actual gripes that I have become aware of (some of which may be just me) 1) The "I'm f***ing s***ing like a bad mother***er" theory (aka loud and obnoxious rap / hip-hop music) : Now, I know that a lot of gyms have public address systems to have music in (and there are some hip-hop and rap tracks I have no objections to in the slightest (examples include "I can" by Nas, "C U when U get there" by Coolio and anything by Will Smith) but last weekend I had to endure Dr. Dre, Enimem and Linklin Park at full blast with the two people who had put the music on, then listening to something else on headphones 2) The "oh, it's raining, time to pack up" theory: Here in Wales, rain is a bit of an occupational hazard (as an example according to the internet Aberaeron gets 981mm (38½ inches) of rain a year which averages 3mm (1/9th of an inch) per day. There are occasions when it can pour as it did on Sunday, when every single river in the county was on flood alert, which can be galling for me as I make my way there only to find that someone who had said they would be there, wasn't 3) The pigsty theory: When I use the gym I always make sure that it is as I would want to find it (which when I am on my own is simple) however on a number of occasions I have found weights (that I cannot even imagine to pick up) strewn all over the place, the radio / CD player blasting away merrily and the dumbbells in completely the wrong order or on the floor. It has been suggested on a number of occasions that this is done by people who are not members being invited by members (either by coming with them or being let in by a member) and then suddenly realising that the owner is about and (as we say in the UK) "doing a runner" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I eventually decided to join my local gym again – for a full year this time. Because of a downpour of snow I decided to skip the planned bike ride and instead, go to the warm confines of the gym…
I hadn't been in a gym for over two months and I behaved like it was a regular part of my training routine:
10k on the Concept 2 in 42:09
20 minutes of relatively heavy weights
12 minutes of running on legs that were long since dead.
I usually suffer from muscle soreness 36 hours after a bout of exercise that I'm not used to – It's now 8 hours after the gym and I'm pretty stiff; I have made a silly mistake. I hope it doesn't take me too long to recover from the consequences.
I'm doing some stupid things this year; like intervals and hard sessions without any base. If I recover from this week – or if indeed there are no consequences, I will refrain from such stupidity for at least six weeks: I should know better than this.
Last year my main goal was not to get injured, it seems that the success of that goal has gone to my head. Now it's time to reinstate that goal:
Goal 1 2009: "I will not get injured this year!"
Speaking of goals, it's time to decide on this years other goals. I'll get them down sometime this week.
The list still contains the following:
Sub 2:55 Marathon
Sub 2:15 Lidingöloppet
Sub 1:20 Half Mara
Sub 36 min 10k
Sub 10:00 IM
Sub 4:30 HIM
Sub 20 min 1500m swim
Sub 2:05 Olympic Tri
Sub 60 min 40k TT
Do a 10k open water swim
Do an ultra marathon (50k)
Most of these are unattainable, I'll probably have to adjust the times to suit my ever progressing age… because I don't have the time focus on more than one or two a year.


text: Ok I've been searching the web all over the place for a simple answer and I cannot find one. I have an HTC Droid Incredible. I made some themes for Pandahome or Panda Home and I pressed share after making the theme yet it's been 24 hours and it is still not on the share screen.

Please help. I'mSOOOO tired of the same Pandahome themes. :heart::motdroidvert::heart:

Right now? I'd die for a Tartine Lemon Cream Tart or a Banana Cream Tart...
Wrote this last Monday.
Finals are in a week. I've got like a bunch of papers due (haha including one tomorrow which I haven't even started yet). And the pressure is on to make things work for Red Bull whilst I am interning for thesis. Awesome. Best part? I'm barely moving. Seriously. I'm so very very tamad (lazy) right now.
I have no idea how to start on tomorrow's paper, and can only pray that my half assed into-the-night efforts will get me by. Gob I hate computers.
Oh and if you haven't guessed, this right here? This is me procrastinating. Isn't it great!
Wrote this just now.
Finals start in a couple days, and I am currently drowning in deadlines! Still worried about my Marketing products grade, and am hell bent on killing the idiot who fucked things up if I fail. Like literally almost burst into tears while I was talking about it earlier. (don't worry. i didn't.) Ugggghhhhhhh. Fakinstress. Working on some shit now, and will prolly end up not sleeping again. I look and feel horrible. Meow call me Shawn of the dead.
...and omg. Dessert. is stressed spelled backwards! :O

In rural India, rite to basic education is being emphasized by government across the country. This snap was taken at a primary school in a tribal village of Purulia district of West Bengal, where people live below poverty line. To attract students, children are provided with mid day meal and playing equipment like football etc.
