"Bizarro Reborn" part one! Bizarro is back and he's better than ever! He's stronger, he's faster and now he's a genius! As if that weren't enough to deal with, things only get more complicated when the Outlaws find themselves in the crosshairs of the one and only Batwoman, who will stop at nothing to take down the infamous Red Hood!
Lobdell smartly reveals this change won't be permanent and it's a race against the clock for Bizarro to make the most of the genius time he has left. That's the right call as it allows readers to enjoy this change while knowing eventually the ride will be over. I'm very excited about the potential here and where Lobdell will take this storyline before resetting Bizarro back to normal. It's going to be a very fun ride until then. Read Full Review
This issue continues a fantastic run of the Outlaws. The story is so well written, the dialogue between the characters is tremendous, and the artwork is absolutely stunning to look at. This is such a perfect team of people, creating a story about a perfect group of heroes. I truly look forward to every issue of the Outlaws that comes out, and I enjoy them all. I also really like this smart version of Bizarro a lot. I suppose I knew that it wasnt going to be forever, but deep down I was really hoping that we were going to see this version of Bizarro permanently. Pick up this issue in your weekly pull. It is splendidly entertaining. Read Full Review
The darker realities of the team are kept at the edges for now, but the creative team has constructed new opportunities for character growth for issues to come. Read Full Review
The artwork dips a bit with a substitute team, but it still works, and the story helps lift the whole affair higher. Bizarro may have experienced a change, but he is still the same lovable guy at his core, and Lobdell does an excellent job presenting both sides of that coin (and making them work together) here. Red Hood and the Outlaws remains one of the best books on the stands, and it continues to add new layers of richness to what was already a diverse and satisfying experience. Read Full Review
Overall this is a great table setting issue that packs one hell of an emotional punch. Read Full Review
A solid issue of discovery and invention! Read Full Review
100% worth it. The cover art matches the tone of this issue, and if you can tell it's a delightful ride. Lobdell creates one of my favorite versions of Jason Todd; he maintains this outlaw persona while keeping him a goofy Bat-kid at heart. It's been a few issues with the story of Artemis, and that was a dark ride. Jason and Artemis both faced their demons, but I could go for some more darkness in the following issues. Knowing Rebirth, they won't let me down in that area. Read Full Review
Red Hood and the Outlaws #14 starts us on a unique Bizarro story that's not necessarily groundbreaking, but still a whole lot of fun. Read Full Review
Im in love with this series as a whole. Just a bit of a weaker issue but mostly because its an opener and first of its arc. I prefer the art of Dexter Soy, this one is good but hes been one of my favorite comic book artists so far. Read Full Review
We explore Smarty-Pants Bizarro in this issue and while it's fun at times, nothing really all that interesting happens in this issue because our hero is too smart to let bad things happen. The art is looks good and we get some new Outlaw toys for our group, but I can't wait for my big lovable dummy to return. Read Full Review
So it did that, yet I wouldnt call the issue a huge success because a lot of Bizarro's charm was his child like innocence and wonder even when his mind was trapped in a powerful super body. So I see Lobdell's attempt to switch things up but am not really a fan. Read Full Review
Overall, a good start to this arc and I am intrigued to see where they take Bizarro's character in the next few issues. Read Full Review
Part one of "Powers for Algernon" is very good, though we know it's going end on a downer. First issue that Dexter Soy has missed in like two years, but Joe Bennett is always welcome.
Not bad. The story is a little light. The foes aren't that interesting. But all the part about Bizarro is great. A little Sad to see that will not last. But all good thing don't.
It's true that by now I was hoping for more, and if lobdell will keep up like that this will be a little disappointing.
The art was interesting but have some flow too.
I like this team by still wait for something more.

5 Things I Wish I'd Known When My Son Was Diagnosed With Autism
It's been years now since my son received his autism diagnosis. As I look back at all the progress we have made, and how much our life has changed for the better, I am so grateful.
As I look back, I can also see that many of the things we learned, we did so by trial and error. It wasn't a doctor, or one specific book or another expert. I believe that by God's grace it was just us, trying to help our son and figure out how to live this life.
It was sleepless nights and trying one thing, and then another, and then another.
It was trying one special diet, and then another, and then another.
It was going to one therapist, and then another, and then another.
It was trying one medicine, and then another, and then another.
Although I think some of this was just part of figuring this autism parent thing out, there are some things I wish I knew back when my son was diagnosed.
1. The behavior has a trigger.
I repeat, the behavior has a trigger.
Just because I had no idea what was causing it, doesn't mean there wasn't a reason for my sons increasingly violent, agitated behavior. After finally getting the diagnosis, it all started to make sense — especially the extreme reactions to things that seemed effortless for other children.
Basic everyday occurrences like putting on socks, wearing shoes that were not crocs, touching grass or sand or dirt or cement with his hands or feet, chewing meat that was a little on the tough side, smelling anything at a restaurant, on a plane, in a public restroom — these things had been causing anxiety and meltdowns for years.
It's very simple to write the above paragraph now and correlate these triggers to the meltdowns. A few years ago however? Totally different story.
"I have no idea what is going on. He totally lost it today when it was time to get ready for class. He threw his game system at me and started trying to tear his clothes…before I even told him he needed to put his socks and shoes on. My poor boy. What is happening?"
This was a regular conversation I had with just about anyone who would listen. I just didn't make the connection, or if I did, I didn't totally trust it.
I wish someone had looked me in the eye and said, "He is reacting this way for a reason. Ask him when he's calm. Study him when he's melting down. The answers are right in front of you. You can figure out what is causing some of this."
2. Figure out what works even if it seems odd.
Occupational therapy has been so, so good for my son (read more about his therapist and our approach here). One of the things we learned very quickly in OT is that my boy loves the feeling of Lycra on his skin. I have no idea why, but it doesn't matter. Lycra soothes his over reactive sensory system better than anything else we have tried.
When his therapist told me there were sheets made of Lycra, I immediately did some research and intended to buy a pair — until I saw the price. Oh my goodness. No way.
Instead I went to the fabric store with a 40 percent off coupon, bought yards of it and tied it around his bed.
It's not pretty, but, oh my goodness, it works! It changed our world.
Not only has it helped him relax and sleep at night, but when things are loud and overwhelming or he is just having an off day, he retreats under the sheets for a little while. It calms him down and when he feels better, he comes back out with us.
This is called self-regulation, my friends, and it's awesome.
For your child, it may not be Lycra sheets. It might be a weighted blanket or squeezing in between the couch cushions. But it's there. I wish I'd known to look for it.
3. Dress for success.
When I go to our various doctors appointments and therapies, I have found it helps to dress professionally and try to do my hair and makeup (I stress try).
Why? It may not be fair or right, but I find when I am dressed professionally, the doctor is more likely to treat me as an equal. More importantly, if I have questions, my concerns are taken more seriously. When I wear sweats and my hair all a mess, I find I am more or less given instructions, rather than being treated like an important resource.
It may seem a little unfair, but it works. And I wish I would've figured it out sooner.
4. Alone time is OK.
It used to make me anxious that my son would spend so much time in his room. He was usually reading, but for some reason that didn't matter. I thought it meant he was withdrawing from the world and his family.
The truth is, my son just needs more time to himself than I consider average. He is an introvert to the extreme. After being out and about with people (including interactions with me), he needs time to unwind. He needs time to pursue his interests, to immerse himself in learning more and more about all of his favorite subjects.
You know what? He almost always comes out refreshed and ready to once again engage. I have learned to not only respect his need for time alone, but appreciate it. It makes him more capable when he is interacting with us, and I get a little bit of time one on one with his younger brother.
5. There is blessing.
Oh boy, this one is big. When we finally had a diagnosis, I was grief-stricken and a little panicky.
My heart felt like it was shattering. All my hopes and dreams for my son felt hollow, and now, unrealistic. I felt robbed.
I had no idea that years later I would say there is so much blessing to be found in this life, even with, and sometimes especially with, this diagnosis.
There is no way I could've know the peace and joy that comes from simply having my child give me a hug or enjoy a play date with his friends. I would've never counted cooking with my son in the kitchen or shopping at the farmers' market together a spirit-filled experience.
I do now.
What I wish I would've known back then is that all of it is purposeful. It can be messy and sad sometimes, yes.
It's also fun and new, interesting and challenging, loving and joy-filled.
This is the life we have been given. It is a blend of all of these things — the good and the bad.
What I couldn't have possibly known then is how grateful I am for all of it.
Follow this journey on Not the Former Things.

Nothing compares to fresh baked bread and the joy of baking it with family.
My mother-in-law started baking bread with the kids as soon as they were old enough to stand by her side. They loved it… getting their hands into the dough and being a part of creating something so delicious.
I love that she brought that tradition to the family.
As a family of seven, we go through 1-2 loaves a day, and I want desperately to be that mom that creates bread from scratch, with love, and with wholesome ingredients. For years now I have been saying how I want to bake fresh bread daily.
I want to almost see their brains comprehending what happens when we take flour, yeast, water and stir it together.
I want my kids to wake up to the fresh baked smell and for it to be a sense of comfort that will linger in their hearts well into their adulthood.
To relish in taking the time to carve slices for them, and collectively smile as the warm air finally escapes as we cut into it. I can just see their eyes light up as butter is generously smeared over each slice.
I can't help but hope they will turn to dough as a form of therapy. They will punch and knead out frustrations and angst.
They will appreciate the time and effort it takes to create a beautiful loaf of bread and never settle.
In grains or in life.
But life gets in the way. I have deadlines and duties and so many other things going on and sometimes it is just easier to pick up pre-cut bread at the store and let them fend for themselves.
'Life getting in the way' is an excuse that just will not fly today.
I gathered up those babies and we baked.
And laughed. And decided that the only thing better than fresh baked bread was fresh baked bread with sprinkles.
Recipe adapted from King Arthur Flour.
This bread was just perfect. Perfectly baked and perfectly delicious.
We, of course, loved it with butter and honey, but it is so delicious it really can be eaten on its own.
I am going to be very intentional and carve out at least 1 day a week for us to bake bread together. It won't always have sprinkles, but it will always bring us closer and remind me what this life is all about.
Living. Laughter. Love.

Feeling a little panicked, out of your zen zone during this Moon Eclipse and Lions Gate opening? Worry no longer, nature totally has your back. If you're a big fan of finding joy in the little things in life, you know that Mama Earth provides you will all you need – and here goodies look so beautiful: The plants, the mushrooms, the flowers … Sometimes we need a gentle reminder of the love that is all around us. How nature is blessings us constantly by producing new and fresh air, by the food it provides us with, the water and all the beauty to look at. There's so much to be grateful for and in times like these where we can find yourselves being stressed out, you're invited to come back to Mama Earth.
I created a special cup of chill that I want to share with you today. This iced Immune-Booster-Chill-Matcha-Latte is topped with lavender and brings you all the balance and harmony you are looking for. Plus: It looks incredibly gorgeous.
This is how to make your Iced Summer Cup of Chill:
Note| I always keep some frozen herbal cubes in my freezer and for this iced latte, I froze some plant milk with organic lavender before.
Plant or Nut Milk, e.g. almond milk
The Matcha by CAP Beauty | Matcha is full of antioxidants and life force minerals while enhancing the mood.
Astragalus by Sun Potion | This herb is known as The Great Protector. It strengthens skin health, metabolism, and digestion, the immune system, and energy levels. Also, balances emotional and mental stress. This herb has it all.
Maca | An Andean super food (it's a root actually) has been used in traditional healing for thousands of years. Known to naturally support the body's ability to adapt to stress and improve energy, vitality, and stamina.
Chaga by Four Sigmatic | This mushroom is the "black gold" that grows on birch trees. It is one of the highest sources of antioxidants in nature and it helps you stabilize your immunity.
Pour milk with one spoon full of Matcha, Astragalus, Maca and Chaga into the mixer and mix on a low level. Put milk-lavender cubes into a glass and pour herbal-mushroom mix over it. Stir and add some organic lavender on top.
I love drinking this morning latte with a metal reusable straw.

No DST in GURPS 4th Edition
If I choose "GURPS 4th Edition" as the Game System for my game, the DST will not show up. The New Character page shows "Dynamic Style Sheet Description"--in other words, there's no popup menu under "Dynamic Style Sheet." If I choose "GURPS," a GURPS 4e character sheet is selectable from a menu.
Why are character sheets called "Dynamic Style Sheets" anyway? Sounds like a CSS reference.
The DSTs are supposed to function like CSS, where you can change the style without affecting the content. At least before the Reforge, in a popular game, you might have a handful of different DSTs to choose from, and, assuming they were coded properly, you could switch back and forth without losing any data. Post-Reforge, a lot of the DSTs are not working right and are permanently losing character data, so be careful using them!
Here's an old post on DSTs if you want to learn more:
Travis from OP should be through shortly to resolve the GURPS 4e issue.
Hi, thanks for contacting Obsidian Portal about this. I'll get this handled shortly.
Hey Calion - I was just prowling the old ticket list here, and noticed this. I know it's years after the fact, but here's the low-down on this: Each sheet template is associated with a specific game system, and there aren't any working templates attached to GURPS 4th Edition. DSTs are created by users, and it's really their choice what systems to set things up under.
Thanks! Good to know.

According to the New York Times, "virtually every vote cast by black New Yorkers" went to Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio, who captured 96 percent of NYC's black vote.
That's a larger percentage that David N. Dinkins, the city's first black Mayor, received back in 1989.
The excitement about Mr. de Blasio — tinged, in some quarters, by a dose of wait-and-see skepticism — was diligently cultivated by the candidate. Mr. de Blasio, who is of Italian and German heritage, kept up a brisk schedule of visits to predominantly black churches, frequently spoke of the effect of stop-and-frisk tactics on young black men, and put his wife and children at the forefront of his campaign, making a celebrity of his son, Dante, who sports a large Afro.
While many are taking a wait and see attitude, what's now clear is that minorities – and perhaps blacks in particular – were less than thrilled with outgoing Mayor Bloomberg.
After the divisive tenor of the Giuliani years, and the deep grievances engendered by the stop-and-frisk police tactics of the Bloomberg era, black New Yorkers are now claiming Mr. de Blasio's victory as their own. In postelection interviews, dozens of black New Yorkers said that Mr. de Blasio's personal touch, his biracial family and his pledge to help the working-class and poor had affected them deeply. His victory, they said, was a chance to gain a voice in City Hall after two decades of leadership they viewed as inattentive, distant and, at times, even callous.
"There was a sense of not being included, not being cared about," said Charlene Curry, as she walked along Marcy Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, last week. She said she had never met Mr. de Blasio, but felt as if he were a neighbor. The mayor-elect, she said, has "a more humane approach, a more inclusive approach." She added, "That reaches home."

Entry requirements
Entry information
Deakin University offers admission to undergraduate courses through a number of Admission categories. In all categories of admission, selection is based primarily on academic merit as indicated by an applicant's previous academic record.
All applicants must meet the minimum English language requirements.
Students must meet the requirements for entry to both the Bachelor of International Studies and the Bachelor of Laws.
Entry for applicants with recent secondary education (previous three years) will be based on their performance in a Senior Secondary Certificate of Education, with pre-requisite units 3 and 4; a study score of at least 35 in English EAL (English as an additional language) or 25 in English other than EAL. Applicants will be selected in accordance with the published Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) for that year.
Entry for applicants with previous Tertiary, VET, life or work experience will be based on:
- The Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of a minimum of 4 credit points (equivalent of one trimester/semester of full-time study) successfully completed at an accredited higher education institution. These studies need to be undertaken at a minimum Bachelor degree level (AQF Level 7 or above) and completed within the past 10 years. The current minimum WAM required for entry per campus is as follows:
- 70% Burwood campus
- 65% Geelong Waterfront campus
- 60% Cloud campus
- The Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) Multiple Choice – This is a multiple choice test for applicants who do not have a WAM as described above. The current minimum STAT Multiple Choice percentile rank required for entry per campus is as follows:
- 70% Burwood campus
- 65% Geelong Waterfront campus
- 60% Cloud campus
- Applicants who have a current WAM may still sit the STAT to improve their eligibility for admission if they wish. Under these circumstances, the applicants' WAM and the STAT result will each be given a 50% weighting.
Applicants with TAFE or equivalent level qualifications (diploma or associate degree studies) are required to sit the STAT.
*From 1 June 2017 Deakin University changed their admission test for Law from the Australian Law Schools Entrance Test (ALSET) to the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT - multiple choice version). Deakin will accept ALSET test results in lieu of STAT until the end of 2019.
For further details on STAT including booking and preparing for your STAT, please visit the VTAC website.

Why choose Deakin
Career outcomes
A Law degree, especially when combined with another degree, such as Arts, Commerce, Management or Science, is a qualification that offers unequalled career opportunities. As an alternative to practising as a barrister or solicitor, you may enter many areas of work including business and management roles in a wide range of organisations, government services, and industrial relations. You may find a role in research, public administration, diplomatic service, the media, legal aid, law reform or teaching either in schools or universities.
For further information on career outcomes for this combined course, see the entries for Bachelor of International Studies and Bachelor of Laws.
Professional recognition
Deakin's Bachelor of Laws is designed to satisfy the university component of the requirements to become an Australian Lawyer set by the Victorian Legal Admissions Board (VLAB). In addition to completing an approved LLB degree, a person seeking entry is required to work for one year as a legal trainee, or to undertake a practical legal training (PLT) course.
Course learning outcomes
Deakin's graduate learning outcomes describe the knowledge and capabilities graduates can demonstrate at the completion of their course. These outcomes mean that regardless of the Deakin course you undertake, you can rest assured your degree will teach you the skills and professional attributes that employers value. They'll set you up to learn and work effectively in the future.

Day 1 / $0 Paid / $95,152.22 until freedom
This must be crazy!
I have a Home Equity loan that I would like to pay off along with a couple of other bills while I am at it. I came across a blog the other day about a man who paid off his student loans in 7 months! I couldn't believe it. I read through his blog and was amazed. I became very inspired and decided to try and do it too. However, it will be a little bit more challenging for me. This man was single and didn't have anyone else to worry about but himself. I am married with a 2 year old daughter. I discussed this with my husband briefly the other night and he agreed to go forward with this challenge. We talked about starting it this September so we can enjoy our summer but why wait that long?! Summer is the perfect time to start because we can be outdoors and do lots of FREE stuff. There isn't much television on anyway.
My husband, Ben, works full time. I work part-time. We aren't into our eyeballs with debt and we are currently very comfortable as far as finances go. But! It would be better if we paid off some big debt and have even more freedom. I feel that my daughter is young enough right now that she won't even realize that we are on a financial fasting. I bought way too many presents for her last Christmas. We have several still wrapped up. We didn't even give all those to her for her 2nd birthday. So, we are done with Christmas shopping for her this year!
Today is 5/23/12 and our completion goal date is 5/23/13.
Here We Go
We bought a house in 1997. We took 2 loans out for it. We took out a primary and a interest only loan (I know…big mistake!). After a couple of years, I looked at our second mortgage loan and wondered why it hadn't moved. Duh! I realized it was an interest only loan. We were young buying our first house and we didn't get the best advice on how we should go forward with the loans and all. We refinanced our second mortgage into a fixed rate for 15 years. That was several years ago and I feel that our loan has not gone down a bit. My goal is to pay this sucker off!
We own 2 cars and have always had only one car payment. We currently have a loan for our Toyota 4Runner. We owed about $7,000 on it. We sold my VW Jetta to my brother. We are receiving monthly payments from my brother that just started this month. Since we sold the car to him, we bought a 2011 Scion for my husband to drive. Instead of getting a second loan, we refinanced the truck and put money from Ben's saved car fund toward this purchase. So, all in all, we have one vehicle loan.
Our credit card interest rate went up to around 17%. We decided to cancel this credit card and get another with no interest for a year. We kind of went crazy and racked up the balance on the new card. I paid off the old credit card last month. We also had a line of credit that we paid off last month as well.
So, here is what I would like to pay off in year:
This amount will be a tough feat but we'll see what we can do!

Haiku Classic: July 1, 2018
(Mainichi Japan)
crossing the table
beside a book on zen
the cockroach pauses
L.A. Davidson (1917-2007). From "Haiku World: An International Poetry Almanac" (1996), by William J. Higginson.
This haiku uses the technique of combining two completely unrelated entities in a way that suggests cause and effect to the reader, even though no cause and effect is actually implied in the language of the poem. The cockroach just happened to pause; it could have paused anywhere at any time, but it did so while crossing something and, at that, beside a book on Zen Buddhism. It seems almost as if the cockroach took interest in the Way of Zen and paused to learn more. But of course the haiku says no more than that a cockroach paused in its scurrying for a moment. To state while not stating -- that is the Way of Haiku.

Here is what it looks like on my mantel:
And the up close shot:
The other fun thing that I made was the paper heart chain. I followed this tutorial. It is written in Mandarin or another language with characters, so I couldn't read it, but the pictures make it really easy to follow. Since I wasn't using double sided paper, I folded my strips in half so that the pattern would be on both sides. I then made another chain, but attached them together side-by-side instead of up and down. I also had the idea to make some of the hearts out of photos of my girls. I used the little cards that come in the package when you print photos. I know that both Costco and Shutterfly send them, so that you can see what you ordered. They were the perfect size, so I just cut them into strips and used them like the paper. They turned out pretty cute, and it is fun to look through our pictures from last year on the hearts. Here is a close-up of those hearts:
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.

We bought this house in September, 2008, and moved in early November.
The house had a lot going for it: twenty-nine acres of hilly fields and woods, two pastures for my horses to graze in, two barns . . .
. . . and that view out the back door that told us instantly, "You're home!"
The house came with an attic that was almost ready to go. It had electric, HVAC ducts and plumbing. As soon as I looked in it, I knew that it was our future grandkids' dorm (even though our first grandchild wasn't due till December). Even more, I knew the attic would be Narnia. I could almost see the wardrobe door leading into it; the lamp post in the middle of the floor; ship berths under the slanted roof; a stone table under the window; and bookshelves down the middle of the room to hold the 600 kids' books I collected so our children would have English books to read overseas.
Charis was born in December, 2008 . . .
Her brother Kol joined the family in January, 2011 . . .
. . . and still the attic waited, rather like a large, sleepy bear not quite ready to wake from hibernation. It waited for Aslan to come and breathe it into life!

Hello there,
I have Windows 98 SE and I'm having a problem defragging. It gets to 46% and then takes 2 hours to get to 47% and then freezes and will go no further. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I had come out of everything through Ctrl+Alt+D, just leaving 'Explorer and System Tray'. I had also switched off the broadband modem.
Many thanks

- About this book
Our Sun is aging. Like us, it will someday die, and the light that warms and illuminates our planet will go out. All life on Earth will perish with it—unless we do something to stop it.
Is that possible? Martin Beech thinks it is, but we must begin to plan and create the technologies that will save us NOW!
Of course, we do not expect the Sun's demise to happen anytime soon. The Sun is only about halfway through its expected lifetime. We are talking about an event that will not take place for billions of years. But it may take that long to engineer (actually, asteroengineer) our way out of the crisis. And in the meantime, we can use the newly developed knowledge and technologies to protect us from more immediate threats, such as asteroid and comet hits, global warming, and mass extinctions.
For us to keep the Sun shining, we must first change our attitudes. We must put profit and short-term thinking aside. And we must come together to share the risks and costs of the necessary endeavors. Martin Beech will lay out for you, in startling clear and compelling fashion, some basic star science, what the issues are, and how you can join in this massive undertaking to prevent global disaster and keep us in the Sun's life-giving light for the foreseeable future.
- About the authors
Associate professor of astronomy, and Head of the Astronomy Department at Campion College, The University of Regina. My main research interests during the past decade have focused on the smaller objects within the solar system (comets, asteroids and meteoroids), but concomitant to this I have continued to perform research related to the structure and evolution of stars (the area of my doctoral studies). The book being proposed here is partly based upon a series of research papers that I have published over the years and on material used in a solar system studies class. The topic of asteroengineering was recently the focus of an 'opinion article' I wrote for the May 2006 issue of Astronomy Now magazine, and an editorial piece in the May 2006 issue of Smithsonian Air and Space magazine.

- Reviews
From the reviews:
"In this book based on several of his previously published scientific articles, Beech … investigates the idea that the evolution of the sun can be controlled. … the book offers much fascinating material on extraterrestrial life and provides an interesting discussion of why extraterrestrials have never visited Earth. … Each chapter ends with extensive notes and references. Summing Up: Recommended. General readers; lower-division undergraduates through researchers." (B. R. Parker, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (10), June, 2008)
"Beech takes great care and time to fully describe the workings of the Sun. As a grounding in solar astrophysics this is an excellent read and even if we do not know exactly how we could engineer our Sun at the present time, it is a useful thought experiment to better understand how our Sun operates. … Add to this some interesting insights into SETI, Solar System colonisation and humanity's near future, and you have a very thought-provoking book." (Keith Cooper, Astronomy Now, July, 2008)
"If you have ever mused over what will become of Mother Earth when the Sun evolves away from the main sequence, here is a book to carry you further into the realms of futuristic science than you have probably hitherto visited. … The book discusses the probabilities and devastation levels of known celestial-based disasters from supernovae to large meteorites. … Beech writes well, with a slight whimsical humour … he offers a comfortable read." (Elizabeth Griffin, The Observatory, Vol. 128 (1206), October, 2008)

SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. — Beth Thomas of Sharpsburg has been named coordinator of the Regents Bachelor of Arts program at Shepherd University's Martinsburg Center.
In her role as coordinator, Thomas will work with Martinsburg Center students completing their bachelor's degree through the RBA program.
The credit-for-work-experience program assesses credit for experience through a portfolio review process and assists adult learners in selecting a program of study tailored to their career goals.
"Beth Thomas brings a wealth of experience to this new position," Jim Klein, director of the Martinsburg Center, said in a news release.
"Her extensive work background will allow her to assist adult students transitioning back to the classroom" when the center's doors are scheduled to open on June 17, he said.
Thomas served as coordinator of the Board of Governors and Applied Technology Degrees at Blue Ridge Community and Technical College in Martinsburg for five years.

CHP alumna Winnie Wu has been a doctor, a mom, and a Ph.D. candidate. Now. she is a registered nurse. Read more!
The rapid growth and transformation in the U.S. health care sector and the corresponding health care related labor demand has been well documented. Emerging configurations in the demographic makeup of patients and the shift from volume to value in health care delivery have made cost reduction, quality, inclusive excellence, inter-professional practice, and cultural competency of some the top critical success factors for health care organizations. As our understanding and health needs have evolved, there has been a greater demand for Health Professionals to deliver cost-effective care and meet challenges and trends, such as an aging, increasing number of insured, rising addiction, need for prevention and early detection, and a more diverse patient population. These challenges are problematic in northern Kentucky where some of the highest incidence and prevalence of disease burdens in the US is coupled with some of the highest shortage in health care providers.
Currently, we offer programs in Nursing, Radiologic Science, Respiratory Care, and Health Science to help prepare our students to face these challenges. All of our programs are fully accredited by their respective professional and/or educational accrediting agencies. Although our programs are delivered in either a traditional classroom setting, online, or hybrid of the two; graduates of our program are:
Moreover, our students are involved in interdisciplinary exchange between other colleges on campus so that they gain the necessary skills and experience to grow as health professionals.
CHP is known for its network of relationships and collaborations with industry and community partners to foster faculty and student service, research, and leadership activities. Our flagship entities for community and industry engagement are the Nursing Advocacy Centers for the Underserved (NACU), Rho Theta Honor Society of Nursing, and the Northern Kentucky Nursing and Inter-professional Research Collaborative (NIRC).

Stakeholders were drawn from the Academia, Fish Farmers, Feed Producers, Fish Processors, Civil Servants, Fish Marketers and Non-Governmental Organizations.
The meetings were co-chaired by the National President of Catfish Farmers Association of Nigeria (CAFAN), Chief Tayo Akingbolagun and the Chairman of Council of Fellows (COF), Prof. E. O. Faturoti, Ffs. Goodwill messages were given by representatives of NITOA, CAFAN, TADAN, FDF, Nigerian Navy and the Advocacy for Fisheries group, among others.
Stakeholders were broken into three main Innovation Platforms and deliberated on the following issues:
• Certification processes in Fisheries and Aquaculture
• Marketing strategy for local and export markets
• Networking among stakeholders including governance issue
• Value chain mapping
• Development of demand driven research
• Extension technology issues
• Fish health management
• Guideline of the charter issue of FISON
After two days of deliberation, stakeholders were able to develop guidelines for the operations of fisheries and aquaculture in Nigeria. These guidelines include the visions for the various platforms, procedures for certification and standardization of fish products and charter of fisheries professionals. Also included in the guidelines were strategies for enrolling relevant fisheries professionals and proper monitoring and surveillance of our industrial and artisanal fisheries.
Stakeholders also agreed that fisheries is a business and therefore re-emphasize their earlier call that there should be a stimulus to galvanize the fisheries sub-sector, such as:
• Zero import duty on all fisheries and aquacultural inputs be implemented
• That a regime of 1 and 2.5 percent interest rate for aquacultural and fisheries allied enterprises be implemented to enable local fisheries enterprises to stand with foreign investors who come into the country with cheap funds.
Stakeholders summarily agreed that FISON (as a lobby group) in collaboration with FDF, NIOMR, NIFFR, NAFDAC, NEPC, SON, FAO, UNDP, JICA, Worldfish, SMOA's, MSADP's, e.t.c should manage the certification, endorsements and accreditation needs of the fisheries sub-sector activities, especially under its charter registration outlook.

Great for X&Y axle for your 3D printer
Great buy for the price
Awesome! Super Smooth!
This was the reason I'm a OpenBuilds customer. My original design did not have ball bearings and as a result caused binding. This fit my need and far exceeded my expectations. It is made of high quality material and has an adjustable "cam" on 2 of the bolts so you can adjust the clearance to the V-Slot 20x20 Linear Rail. I will be buying again for my next project.

After a few weeks of repeated airings, TNA's B show Xplosion was back this week with a new episode and naturally I am here to review it. I was pleased to finally see a first run episode again and really hoped that Spin Cycle was no longer a segment on the show. As you will see, my hopes went unfulfilled. Let's get on with the review.

ARLINGTON, Va. — Memorial services and a military funeral for 1992 Gaylord High School (GHS) graduate Staff Sgt. Matt West, who died Aug. 30 in Afghanistan, are planned for Wednesday and Thursday at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
The 36-year-old Army veteran, who enlisted in 2004, was killed with four other soldiers after their unit was attacked with an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan's Arghandab River Valley. All five men had been stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado, prior to their deployment to Afghanistan.
According to the West family, a memorial service will be held Wednesday, Sept. 22, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Murphy Funeral Home in Arlington.
A military funeral honoring West is scheduled to take place Thursday, Sept. 23, at 1 p.m. at Arlington National Cemetery.
West, an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Specialist (EOD), was assigned to the 71st EOD and received EOD training for which he earned the Senior Explosive Ordnance Disposal badge, among other honors, including a Bronze Star, two Afghanistan Campaign medals and one Iraq Campaign medal and star.
The former high school football and baseball player is survived by his wife, Carolyn, and their three children, sons Tyler, 4, and Joseph, 3, and daughter, Annaliese, 3 months.
Prior to his being stationed at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, West and his family had last been living in Conover, Wis.
West's parents, John and Marcia West, currently reside in Odessa, Texas. His sister, Kristine Willis, continues to live in Michigan in Levering with her husband, Roger.
Cards and notes of condolence to West's family, as well as donations, which will be used to establish an educational trust fund for West's children, may be sent to P.O. Box 4087, Gaylord, MI 49734. Checks should be made out to Carolyn West.

It's no secret, I am a huge fan of mercury. I had mercury votives in my wedding centerpieces, as you can see from these pictures below, they are a geat way to add a little shiny elegance to a table.
This Capri Blue candle by Anthropologie is my absolute favorite candle. Not only is it in one of the prettiest mercury jars ever, but it smells heavenly.
you can get it here.
I had been on the search for some mercury table lamps, and I found them- at target!
Not only did I find them at target- but they were marked down from $55.00 to $15.00-yes- $15.00!! It was a sign. I had to buy them!
Happy Monday!

What is your worst?
My worse I think is my stomach I need to tone it up....I need to hit the gym again
Fav: chin
Least: abs
Fave: Lips
Hate: Stomach
my favorite: my face, hair, legs
least favorite: boobs, tummy
Fave: small hands and wrists
LEast fave: legs and love handles
Fav: (OK this is going to sound so snotty!!) is my face
Least fav: my stomach...no matter how hard I try, I will never have a 6 pack
I think females with imperfections, not only makes us all different, but just adds to our beauty. Let's celebrate GIRL POWER! (sorry for being so cheesy)
My brain.....(you'll understand why after you cross over to the great FIVE OH).
Least favorite: my feet. The little traitors won't let me wear stilettos any more.
Favorite - Butt. It's big And my shoulders.
Least Favorite - Can I say I don't have one? I guess my knees. My legs are constantly dry, and my knees get dry and ashy so easily
I like my big booty too. Also, my eyes, they kind of change color with what I'm wearing.
Least fave ... feet! They are huge and I hate feet in general. Also, my stomach, because that's where all my weight goes.
i love my boobs- they are almost close to perfect. i hate my legs, because the are super short.
I love my eyes. I love their color and I love how they're so expressive. For the longest time, I had no clue what color they were. (They looked greyish / greenish / hazelish). Once I dyed my hair mohogany, they immediately became green.
I also love my back, and especially the small of it (if that makes sense). I had scoliosis, and I had to wear a backbrace the last two years of high school. The summer after my freshman year of college, I had a spinal fusion. (The doctor puts a metal rod and bone chips on my spine, making it 'think' it's broken, so it fuses with the other metal rod). They fused nine vertebrae, so I have a scar running down my back, which I wear like a badge of honor. It represents everything I went through.
I got the tattoos on my hips to represent parts of me, which I never would have considered during college. Even after the surgery. Now, I'm proud to have them and I'm proud to show them off. Subconsciously, I believe that the tattoos were also my way of saying, "I got the spinal fusion because I HAD to. I got the tattoos because I WANTED to."
I think the only things I don't like on my body are my arms and stomach. I wish they were more toned.
my favorite body part has to be my bum and the least is my tummy. a little scared since the holidays are coming up but oh well, i'm not about to pass on some great tasting food!!!

Anyone who has driven around the back roads of Howard County on a Sunday morning can attest to this: Bikers are the worst people on the planet. Over the course of this musing I will systematically obliterate everything you can possibly think to say that is positive about bicycles or those that ride them.
They say you never forget how to ride a bicycle. I find that to be an extremely deep and meaningful metaphor: you learn the basics, retain them, and then you can continue to learn more and more advanced things. Building blocks. Brick by brick. Undoubtedly the wheel is one of the most important inventions by man. With the wheel we built carts and we could move things. Food/ livestock. Building materials. The means of production. Then some genius put in work (physics joke) figuring out gears and pulleys and and we advanced further as a species. Put wheels and gears together so you can traverse distances without relying on animals as power to pull you. You could use your own power and move at greater speeds with less effort than ever before. Surly a crowning achievement of man. And then man kept evolving and we invented fucking cars that run on compressed remains of dead dinosaurs that we mine from the earth with giant drills after they've sat there for a million years. And we gave the bikes to our children.
The children can adorn them with playing cards in the spokes, streamers on the handle bars, or even whatever decals they can fit on the frankly diminutive frame, much akin to people who always like to put racing stripes on tiny two seat cars, which TOTALLY makes them go faster and are in no way symbolic and phallic implying in nature to compensate for their small and/or crooked wieners.
I can tell you for a fact the Howard County (your tax dollars) have paid for exactly one set of bicycles that they rotate through all the different elementary schools so they can literally have a unit on teaching small boys and girls how to fall over and bust up their knees. That's all the bicycles one of the wealthiest counties in the nation has decided that it needs.
Point is, as someone who would be charged as an adult, if I was forced to, I can't think of a single punishment I would have to endure for not riding a bicycle that would make me want to in fact go ride a bicycle. Bike cops are like the losers on the force right? I'm sure that really helps with their self esteem issues, watch out for those later "displays of authority."
But what about the fitness aspect. Many adults that cycle will tell you that it's a great way to get in shape. Obviously cycling is very literally exercise. Clearly it's something for cardio. But have you ever seen a cyclist and been like daaaaaaaaayum! Na. I mean look at the most famous cyclist of all time; Lance Armstrong
Clearly he's in good shape, I'd take that body any day of the week (in a swap, IN A SWAP TYPE SCENARIO) but is he like, KILLING it. Nope. No way in hell. And he was on fucking steroids or whatever. Lance was literally spending DAYS at a time on the bike touring France in like the worst way possible. Some people do the tourist stuff (Louvre, Eiffel Tower, etc), some people like the off the beaten path stuff (homemade wine in sprite bottles and old ladies with scarfs tied around their heads, you know, tradition), while Lance books it all across the country on a method of transportation meant for children or people with multiple DUIs all to make his legs look like this:
Gross. No fucking thanks. Ladies imagine having sex with that. No, those are legs not penises, but I can understand the confusion, they're both gross.
And, to me, here's the worst part about calling it exercise. At least you expect the meat head in the gym to be annoying. He's in the gym, that's his natural environment. You expect him to grunt needlessly and circle the bench for 15 minutes forced hyperventilating and swinging his arms back and forth to 'stretch' them out, all for one rep of an obnoxious weight he'll never need to lift in that motion ever in the real world, but cyclists are on the side of the road. A road made for cars. If there was a bike lane, well then okay, but there are none on these back roads of Howard County. And the roads are windy with poor visibility so if I'm behind you, conceivably, I can be stuck there without a safe passing window for 5-10 miles. And I know you think you're going sooooo fast, but you're really not. So if I Thundergun it (#PowerMovesOnly) and I get into a head on collision because I can't see the car coming, do you know who's the only one that's getting hurt? Yup, you, the cyclist. We both have steel frames and airbags to protect us, and you have no maneuverability and now a carbon fiber frame through your fucking abdomen.
You're a middle aged man/woman in Howard County, do you really need the $3,000 carbon frame bike with the spandex jersey combo-ed with the automatic moose knuckle/camel toe second layer of sweat absorbing skin tight short shorts? And don't even fucking get me started on the 'aerodynamic' swoopy helmets, oh you're going to shave 0.3 seconds off of your time going down Greenbridge road, Bill? Good for fucking you. Put that on your business resume because you sure as hell aren't going to the fucking Olympics.
And I used to think that maybe a cyclist just in normal attire would be better, but no, shockingly worse. Those people are all over the road, wildly and unpredictably. At least you know when the 'professional' bikers ride 2-3 abreast they are just assholes, not amateur hour shits that can't even control a bicycle. I mean it's literally so easy a god damned monkey can do it:
And the 'races'…. ugh the stupid fucking 'races'. Don't act like there is any camaraderie in biking. Cycling is a solo act, you can't have an in depth convo about geopolitical implications while you and your 'crew' are peddling around the mean streets of Dayton. I'm beginning to think that they aren't a group of people who all like cycling, it's a group of assholes that have just learned this is the most effective way to be assholes. Round up the posse, bring every dick, prick, and cunt you can find, there's a bike 'race' around the narrow back-roads Sunday morning and we're about to fuck up some church traffic. Let's all ride five wide, we've got ourselves a convoy. What are you going to do? Submit your time for the Ten Oaks Rd Circuit to the Olympic Cycling Center in Colorado? Do they keep track of Bernie from Twelve Hill's 'course record'? Oh he beat his time by almost half a second, time to take down the plaque and get it re-engraved. Fuck no. It's just dick measuring for you and your cock-brained, circle jerk, cycle-'friends'.
So very simply: biking is for children, is not actually that good for exercise, you're in the way for literally every actual adult who needs to go somewhere, you could die from back road biking recklessness and your thousand dollar bike/ swoosh helmet wont save you for shit, and no one cares about your 'exploits' as a biker. Plus, I'm pretty sure Hitler rode a bicycle so there's that.

Session DetailShowing content for Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo 2017
Wednesday, September 20, 2017 | 11:00 AM - 12:15 PM
Open to All Attendees!
The Solidification and Final Destination of American Healthcare
VP Healthcare / Director of Strategic Planning, Gresham Smith & Partners
The final destination of America's healthcare system is vividly clear. The political smokescreen by both parties can no longer hide the cost increases and socioeconomic damage. Sauvé frames the magnitude of change required for a balanced budget and generational commitment ahead. The megatrends of true consumerism, big data and virtual care connectivity are driving us to tomorrow's delivery model. Mergers and acquisitions continue to seek cost reductions through economies of scale, delivery networks are expanding through retail clinics and freestanding EDs. Today's master plans are complex endeavors, as systems rationalize services across a region. True physician partnerships and new leadership skillsets are required to navigate this politically volatile landscape. Effective teams require cultural cohesion across four generations of employees. This smart, data-rich and entertaining presentation frames market forces, cultural shifts and technology drivers of tomorrow's healthcare system.
2. Assess the latest innovations and technology advancements transforming care delivery from retrospective and reactive to personalized and predictive.
3. Understand the complexity, political sensitivity & workforce implications of master planning as systems seek to rationalize services across a region.
4. Follow the money, from our trillion dollar, healthcare-driven, national debt to root causes, wasteful practices& proven solutions in value-based care.

Yen, Greenback, Loonie & Kiwi – USDCAD clawed out a four-week peak at 1.2730. The relative strength of the U.S. jobs report and trade data relative to Canada's last week, coupled with a pause in the nascent up trend in oil prices, have been keeping USDCAD underpinned. the New Zealand dollar has taken a hit following dovish guidance from the RBNZ policymakers in the wake of its expected decision to leave its cash rate at 1.75%. While the Kiwi central bank's SMP wasn't as dovish as markets had anticipated, RBNZ's McDermott subsequently advised markets to recognise policymakers' discomfort with the recent appreciation of the NZ dollar.The yen meanwhile, steadied off its highs, having been aided lower by remarks from U.S. Secretary of State Tillerson, who said that Americans should have "no concerns" over Trump's rhetoric.

At the community club level, water polo is played in co-ed teams. Each team has a minimum of seven players in the water at one time, with a minimum of 2 girls in the water at all times. Water polo is fast-paced, exciting, and extremely fun to play! It takes good team skills as well as individual strength and endurance.
There are different age categories, determined by the player's age as of December 31 of the current year:
- Mini (new players; ages 6-8 years unable to swim 25 m)
- Junior Development (new players able to swim 25 m; ages 8-12 years): U10
- Juniors (9 -12 years): U12
- Senior (12-18 years): U14, U16, U18
Weekly training depends on the age and skill of the player:
- Juniors and Seniors train two to three times a week for approximately 90 minutes each practice
- Junior Development players train two times a week for 60 to 90 minutes at each practice
- Minis practice once per week for 60-90 minutes
Junior and Senior Programs
The goals of the Junior and Senior programs are:
- to improve each player's individual water polo playing skills;
- to teach them to work as part of a team; to expose them to the pressures of playing in a competitive environment;
- to develop a healthy respect and attitude towards teammates and opponents (both boys and girls), and;
- to experience both team and individual success; and, to have fun.
Junior Development
Goal of the Junior Development Program:
- to introduce the players to water polo in a fun and semi-structured format where the players learn some of the basic skills and rules of the game in preparation for playing. It acts as a bridge between the Mini Program and the Juniors/Seniors program.
Minis Program
Minis is an introductory program for younger players, who are still learning to swim. Its purpose is to introduce them to water polo and to teach some of the basic skills and rules. The program is meant to complement regular swimming lessons, not replace them.
Advanced Program: Spartans
Players who enjoy the sport and wish to participate at a more advanced level can join the Spartans Advanced Program, supported by Vipers and the Burnaby Baraccudas. The Advanced Program offers an additional weekly practice and select tournaments. For more information on the Advanced Program, contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Other options for higher level play include the regional water polo teams – Pacific Storm or Fraser Valley – which compete at an intra-provincial level.
League Games
Fall and Winter: September – April
The Junior and Senior teams play weekly competitive games against other teams from across the Lower Mainland: North Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, and Surrey. Together these teams form the Lower Mainland Water Polo League (LMWPL); each game is 45 minutes in duration. Twice a year – in December and again in April – the League hosts multi-day tournaments for each age group. (The tournaments are held over a weekend.)
Players in the Junior Development program have opportunities to play games with other 10U teams in the LMWPL. While these games are organized by the individual teams and are not regularly scheduled, they do provide the players with an opportunity to play against other teams, complementing their training and giving them an opportunity to try out their skills.
Summer: May – August
During the summer season, players compete in one-day tournaments, playing 2 to 4 game during the day. The season finale is the Regional Championship where the top 2 teams to advance the Provincial Championships.

With ever shorter attention spans, your business needs to cut through with a succinct, compelling, and unique brand promise: a simple statement of what your brand stands for. Applying lean principles to branding we deliver real commercial value that pervades the organisation from the inside out. your brand. Everyone involved needs to understand what your brand stands for and what it means to their role. Your brand will bring your people together and help build belief right through the organisation. Engaged employees can often mean the difference between success and failure. STARTING WITH THE RIGHT REASONS LET'S BE CLEAR Branding can have a significant impact on your people, sales, growth and business performance. B2B branding in the engineering space is no different from any other when it comes to communicating effectively. The traditional definition of a brand is a name, sign, or symbol used to identify products or services of the seller(s) and to differentiate them from goods of competitors. It's clearly not enough anymore to operate with this narrow viewpoint. Your brand is your everything, from your people, products, place of work, your culture through to your tone of voice. All have a cumulative effect on how your customers perceive and experience your brand. It is through these touch points that they build a relationship with you rather just conduct a transaction. BRANDS ARE BUILT FROM THE INSIDE OUT Brands are built on relationships and trust: between your leaders and your people, and between your people, your customers and partners. Your people are 56 PECM Issue 23 Starting a branding project includes finding the right reason, commitment, and strategy; analysing brand equity; and uncovering insights and opportunities. Fundamentally, there are two reasons a business needs branding. Either a new product or company has been created or there is a desire to change an existing brand to better reflect new business objectives (most often called a "rebrand"). There must be a solid business reason to change, or refresh, a brand and a brand idea. Without a solid business objective and brand idea, the judging of brand change becomes purely subjective. Suffice it to say, when you embark on a rebrand it is critical to ensure that you are rebranding for the right business reason, and if there is a desire to alter some visual or verbal elements, a clearly defined brand idea is essential for guiding this change. making tough decisions about the market you are in. Get this clear and your nearly there. Who is it intended for? The more specific and targeted the answer to this question, the better. What is the benefit to customers? A company should be able to articulate clearly, in a few words, the unique aspect that differentiates its product from the competition and provides a benefit to its customers. Start with the right focus: Customers One of the most important first steps in a branding project is to create a framework that identifies and compares all possible interaction points where a customer experiences the brand. Uncover insights and identify opportunities As an agency, the process of creating a new brand or a rebrand always starts with a situation analysis or brand audit. This process can uncover issues that you can exploit to your business advantage. NAMING IS CRUCIAL Follow these signposts and you won't go wrong: Naming is increasingly an important element to a brand's success. Ideally, a name should be the pure encapsulation of the brand idea and, along with this audacious goal, should meet other key criteria: Start with the right business strategy t#FFBTZUPQSPOPVODFJOFWFSZMBOHVBHF Good branding cannot save a poor product or business. t#FNFNPSBCMF CFJOHCSJFGBMTPIFMQT What are we selling?

Det kanske är dags nu.
Har haft en låt på hjärnan i en vecka nu. Den är fin. Och ja - en dag ska vi bo i Paris.
Friendly Fires - Paris (Aeroplane Remix ft. Au Revoir Simone)
sv: tack! du gör mig glad. de där bågarna är ruskigt snygga!
lovely.i think your blog has a lot of the same ideas as this danish blog http://photoinsideout.blogspot.com/
åå thank you dear! känner lite detsamma för din ;)
I love the pictures, and really quite wish I had a pair of those glasses! :)
Thanks for your comment, though it broke my heart a bit to hear you feel broken hearted... what you said about all of us, just growing up to be a part of society, I think that it is, unfortunately, often the case. But I do believe that if one's spirit is strong, they can rebel against the dog-eat-dog world of regular society (whatever "regular" really is), and find something better...
For me "society", at least today's society, and American society, mostly represents money, material success, beauty, and so forth. All I know is I don't what my life to represent those things, and I don't desire them either, I already know, that the best things in life aren't actually "things", and that wealth, fame, physical beauty, and material things won't fulfill me.
Anyway, hope you're having a good week! :) Thanks again for your comment, and for sharing your thoughts, it means a lot to me! <3
åh kjempekule briller, skulle gjerne hatt sånne.

Hexen - Translation to Spanish
This is a project that, due to lack of time, I have not continued. It is time to move the entire Hexen into Spanish, so we can enjoy the prologues and epilogues of the episodes without the need to translate.
Here I add some of my progress, but warned that just started with this project. If someone is interested in helping to contact me.

And no, I'm not talking about myself. I want to share some tips that have greatly affected my professional career; these tips are from a former professor and public relations all-star, Jessica Stark. Despite the fact that she is only a few
years older than me, I greatly admired her drive for success, her ability to
prove her strengths- even though she was a very young professional in a
prestigious position, and her pure passion for the field of public relations
and higher education.
Most of these tips were intended to aid students about to enter the professional world. However, I don't think it ever hurts for us, as busy professionals, to
take a step back and think about our practices. Are we doing the little things we were taught years ago? Are we sending those thank you notes, being polite to the administrative assistant and "doing our homework?" It is my hope that these words of wisdom will enhance your public relations practices.
- If you can't be organized, at least pretend to be organized.
- Don't be late; if you're not early, you're late. If you are late, do not keep apologizing. Apologize once and move on. No one needs to waste time listening to your elaborate story; you already wasted their time by being late.
- When meeting someone new/networking/interviewing, your job is to take the word "stranger" off your back. Do some research ahead of time to uncover mutual acquaintances. Be careful what you say about whom; you never know who are enemies or friends.
- Don't assume. It makes an ass out of "u" and "me." Do your homework and know the facts about whom you are dealing with. An overestimation of someone's prestige is better than an underestimation.
- Administrative coordinators are very important people – be polite.
- Don't confuse praise for a raise. If you're doing such a good job, you should be paid for it.
- "I do not like the phrase: 'Never cross a bridge till you come to it.' The world is owned by people who cross bridges on their imagination miles and miles in advance of the procession." – Bruce Barton
