According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary, the first known use of the term "externship" dates back to 1945. However—until recently—most students were entirely unfamiliar with the concept. And many people still don't know what they are, or why they're important.
According to Dana Bernard, CEO of The Learning Oasis, similar to an apprenticeship or internship, an externship is typically a training program offered by educational institutions and private businesses that give students brief practical experiences in their field of study.
Are externships important?
Bernard says they are critical. During their externships, students will often become involved in projects, sit in on meetings, and meet other members of the organization, she says. "Not only do students get to see the career area first-hand, but they also have the opportunity to ask their host and others questions that they have about the role or industry, through informational interviewing. This allows the student to get a true picture of the context of the work, real-life challenges, and the structure of a typical work day or week."
Developing a network of professionals in the new career field is important as you begin a job search; and in fact, a career network is something that you should develop and maintain throughout your entire career. At your externship you have the opportunity to meet people who are currently working in the field you want to enter. Be sure to make a good impression on the people you meet, and demonstrate your commitment through hard work. Get to know the names of your co-workers, and ask for their contact information so that you can keep in touch with them after your externship is over. The more people you know, the more likely you are to hear of job leads and other professionals opportunities.
With these benefits in mind, there are many reasons to take your externship seriously. Best wishes on this first step into your new career!

Abstract: Cordierite honeycomb with hexagonal shaped open channels was formed by extrusion forming technique using specially designed mould for the raw oxide mixture of talc, kaolin, alumina and aluminum hydroxide. The honeycomb showed extremely thin wall thickness of 0.15 mm and low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) for the high number of cells per square inch (cpsi) approaching to 600. The extruded honeycomb was sintered at various conditions and characterized by XRF, TGA-DTA, XRD, TMA and SEM techniques. The indialite crystalline showing the coefficient of thermal expansion of 1.9 × 10-6/°C was formed while sintering at 1,450°C for 5 h. The influence of Fe2O3 additive and heating condition on the CTE of cordierite was analyzed in details. This particular cordierite honeycomb with high numbers of hexagonal shaped open cells showed a distinct advantage of saving the amount of precious metal catalyst materials to be coated on the substrate in comparison with the honeycomb with rectangular cells while improving the degree of catalyst efficiency when applying the substrate of automotive catalytic converter.
Abstract: The dispersion and stability of PZT aqueous suspensions were investigated by using ammonium salt of polyacrylic acid (PMAA-NH4) as the dispersant. By observing the sedimentation behavior and measuring the viscosity, the effects of dispersant concentration and pH value on the dispersion and stability of the suspensions were studied. The experiment results showed that the optimum concentration of PMAA-NH4 and the optimum pH were 0.25-0.45 wt.%( by weight of the PZT powders) and 8.5-10, respectively. When the dispersant concentration was about 0.45 wt.%, and pH value was about 9.4, the stable PZT suspensions with high solids loading (up to 52 vol.%) and low viscosity (<1Pa.s) was obtained for gelcasting. The microstructure of ceramic formed by gelcasting was denser and more homogeneous than that by die pressing.
Abstract: Ba-ferrite particles were dispersed into distilled water to make stable slurry, which was then slip cast in transverse magnetic field. The water drainage from the slurry was performed by vacuum evacuation to solidify the slurry into a cake – like sample. To obtain high degree of alignments, the slurries were slip cast in static – / pulsed – magnetic field and by using two separate steps of magnetic orientation and drainage. The particles turned their faces to the magnetic field and formed long chains stacked immediately while the magnetic field was applied, of which high induction density led to high degree of alignments. It is necessary to correspond with the drainage, gravity and magnetism so as to suppress the tendency of distortion or cracking of the sample as the aligned long chains of the particles tend to break into pieces and cave in randomly, which eventually destroys the particle alignments.
Abstract: High purity polycrystalline titanium silicon carbide (Ti3SiC2) was synthesized by spark plasma sintering (SPS) with additive of Aluminum at low temperature of 1100~1300oC. XRD results showed that the content of Ti3SiC2 in the synthesized bulks increased with the addition of Aluminum, however, the lattice parameters of Ti3SiC2 samples with different amounts of additive exhibited scarcely change. With a starting powder of 1Ti/1.2Si/2TiC/0.1Al (molar ratios), dense Ti3SiC2 ceramic (98vol.%Ti3SiC2) was obtained by sintering at 1100oC for 5min under a pressure of 30MPa. Fine Plate-like grains of the samples with sizes of 2~6μm could be identified by scanning electronic microscope (SEM).
Abstract: The γ-TiAl intermetallic compounds were produced at the temperature ranging from 850°C to 1050°C by the Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) process. The effects of sintering temperature and holding time on the mechanical properties of γ-TiAl intermetallic compounds were investigated. The γ-TiAl intermetallic compounds sintered at 1050°C for 10 min showed a high relative density more than 98%, and had the best three-point bending strength of 643MPa, fracture toughness of 12 MPa·m1/2 and microhardness of 560MPa. The microstructural observations indicated typical characteristics of intergranular fracture, which meant the poor ductility of γ-TiAl intermetallic compounds.
Abstract: Nanocomposite WC-10Co powder produced by spray pyrolysis-continuous reduction & carbonization technology and cubic boron nitride (CBN) plated with titanium by vacuum vapor deposit were used, and this paper adopted spark plasma sintering (SPS) process to prepare CBN enhanced ultrafine WC-10Co cemented carbide cermets composite material. The microstructure and mechanical properties of CBN-WC-10Co composites were investigated. The results show that CBN-WC-10Co composites consolidated by spark plasma sintering can reach 95.0 % relative density, and transverse rupture strength (TRS) is 1050 MPa, the average grain size of cermets matrix is less than 420 nm, and CBN-WC-10Co composites with excellent properties are achieved. The CBN still remains very good crystal shape after 1240°C spark plasma sintering, and there is not obvious clearance between CBN plated with titanium and the cermets matrix, the coated titanium layer can not only improve the thermal stability of CBN, but also increase the properties of CBN-WC-10Co composites.
Abstract: Porous alumina bodies were successfully prepared by spark plasma sintering of alumina powders with different amounts of graphite, and by subsequently burning out the graphite. Highly porous bodies were fabricated by spark plasma sintering at 1000°C for 3 min under a pressure of 30 MPa. The heating rate was 80°C/min, and the pulse pattern (on-off) was 12:2. For example, alumina bodies prepared by the addition of 10 ~ 30 vol% graphite showed high porosity of 50 ~ 57%. Porous alumina bodies prepared by the addition of 10 ~ 30 vol% graphite had a high compressive strength of 200 ± 55 MPa, about 35 times higher than those obtained on samples prepared by pressureless sintering, and about 2.5 times higher than those in samples prepared by hot-pressing. The significant improvement in strength relative to values obtained with conventional sintering was attributed to better sintering resulting from the rapid heating between particles.
Abstract: MgAlON ceramics were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) and hot pressing (HP), respectively. It was found that SPSed MgAlON samples had a single MgAlON phase with almost no open pore while HPed MgAlON had a minor AlN phase. The strength of SPSed samples is higher than 500MP, being much higher than that of the HPed samples. The experimental results revealed that that SPS was a rapid and reliable process for the further development of MgAlON.
Abstract: In this study, spark plasma sintering (SPS) was applied to prepare α-Si3N4 ceramics of different densities with magnesia, silicon dioxide, alumina as the sintering aids. The sintering behavior and liquid phase sintering (LPS) mechanism were discussed and the factors influencing the density of the prepared samples were analyzed. Microstructures of sintered samples were observed and the phase compositions were analyzed. The results showed that α-Si3N4 ceramics can be sintered by SPS based on the reaction among α-Si3N4 and sintering additives which lead to the liquid phase and the density can be well controlled from 2.48 to 3.09 g/cm3 while the content of the sintering aids changes from 10% to 28.5% and sintering temperature from 1400°C to 1500°C.
Abstract: In the present study, we fabricated high purity and electrically machinable Ti3SiC2 ceramics by mechanical alloying and subsequent spark plasma sintering. The effect of a trace amount of Al on these synthesis processes was examined. Our results showed that Ti3SiC2 could be synthesized by high energy milling. Spark plasma sintering of mechanically alloyed powder at the temperatures of 1000-1200°C produced nearly single-phased Ti3SiC2 materials. The purity of the sintered Ti3SiC2 bulk was remarkably increased by addition of a small amount of Al. Ti3SiC2 with a purity of 99.3 wt% and a relative density of 98.9% was obtained by mechanical alloying and subsequent spark plasma sintering from a starting mixture composed of n(Ti) : n(Si) : n(Al) : n(c) = 3 : 1 : 0.2 : 2 at 1100°C.

text: Bus Services You are here: Home / News / Bus Services 05 Jan 2015 Bus services are the lifelines of our communities. They are a critical tool for the economic growth we need to see. We know that good quality public transport is often the difference between accessing work and not, as well as increasing social inclusion and economic activity. I am bitterly disappointed at the recent figures which show the number of bus miles has decreased and 1,300 bus routes have been cut since 2010, whilst fares have increased five times faster than wages at the same time as the bus companies' revenues and executive bonuses have continued to rise. I would like to see legislation to give greater control over local bus services to cities and county regions. Through the ability to determine routes, set fares and integrate bus services with other forms of public transport, local areas would be able to provide better services at one clearly understood price. I want to see a fairer bus industry, more balanced towards the needs of passengers rather than the chief executives of the big bus companies. back

Hummus is a garbanzo bean based dip or spread, that can be a variety of different flavors, perfect for your next party, family gathering or Tuesday! It pairs wonderfully with your average veggie or fruit tray, pita chips, or as a spread on your favorite sandwich. Traditionally a Middle Eastern delight, hummus has become increasingly popular across the globe and is a delicious healthy snack to get addicted to!
Hummus can be a pricey snack to enjoy, but not anymore! You can compare our exquisite finished hummus at $0.16/ounce in our large hummus kit to finished grocery store brands that average a price of over $0.45/ounce. Our large 3-pound scrumptious hummus recipe kits make a total of 120 ounces of hummus while our single recipe kits make 30 ounces of hummus! Each kit contains one of our handcrafted hummus recipes, Garlic & Herb, Mediterranean or our Bare Hummus Kit; the only ingredients you need to add from your kitchen are water and oil!

How can we say that hummus is a delicious, HEALTHY addition to your diet enough? Besides being incredibly easy to make, (especially with the help of our hummus kits) there's no way you could ever get bored with it because there are so many different flavors to try and different ways to include it in your staple recipes.

Using the New Frame
Building Well-Being: A New Narrative for Human Services
The National Assembly engaged FrameWorks Institute to conduct a rigorous research and testing process in order to identify a new frame for human services. Based on these findings, they created an overarching story that significantly increased the public's understanding of what human services are and why they are critical to a vibrant society.
We call it the Building Well-Being Narrative.
The most effective way to use the Building Well-Being Narrative is to invoke the recommended values, metaphors, and examples by:
- Opening with an appeal to the Value of Human Potential.
- Expanding the frame for human services by using the Explanatory Metaphor of Constructing Well-Being.
- Reframing the assumption that human services should be temporary by drawing on Explanatory Examples that come from across the Life Cycle.
Coming Soon
The National Reframing Initiative's new practical and accessible online implementation guide, featuring user-friendly recommendations, troubleshooting strategies, and real-world examples for each step of the reframing process will be available on this page soon. Ensure you sign up for the Reframing Network Newsletter to receive notification when the guide has been released.
Get Started!
We encourage you to explore the research underpinning the Building Well-Being Narrative and take advantage of the free tools developed to help you bring your communications into alignment with the research.
The Building a New Narrative on Human Services Toolkit offers free resources that include talking points, tips for professionals looking to increase their comfort level with communicating within the new frame, FAQs, and background information on the research informing the reframing recommendations.
Talking Human Services: A FrameWorks Multi-Media MessageMemo synthesizes the research that informed the development of the new frame and offers recommendations for the human services field to utilize the frame to more effectively communicate the scope and value of their work.

The United States has not been an exporter of Crude Oil since the 1970's, over 40 years. This past week, a discussion on this topic and its merits were discussed on the floors of the Senate.
Here were some of the comments bandied about:
"At a hearing of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Republicans said lifting the ban would decrease gasoline and diesel prices in the United States, add 1 percent to the gross domestic product, create a million jobs and improve the country's standing internationally. The witnesses Republicans brought to the hearing assured them that fuel prices would actually fall.
Carlos Pascual, a fellow at Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy, said gasoline prices are based on the price of Brent crude, an international benchmark. "If we are able to export light, tight oil from the United States, we add to the global supplies that contribute to that Brent crude benchmark," he said. "As a result of that, we help drive down the international oil price that is tied to the price of gasoline in the United States and around the world."
Here is what the American Petroleum Institute has to say on the matter:
"A new era of energy abundance, born of innovation, has created a once-in-a-generation chance for America to cement its future as an energy superpower," said API President and CEO Jack Gerard. "But evidence is mounting that 70's-era trade limits are damaging America's economic potential. Study after study shows that blocking trade in crude oil harms consumers at the pump, the economy, and our trade balance. It also limits job creation, and it undermines America's role as a global leader in energy.
"By opening the doors to trade, we can provide a counter to other nations that use their energy production as a geopolitical tool, even as we increase our own energy security. The economics of free trade are in America's favor, and increased global competition for market share has only helped to put this issue into focus. Policymakers who support America's future as an energy superpower have shown they are ready to act, and we urge the Senate to make this a top priority in the year ahead."
I've read different theories about this aspect and I can't say that one side or the other has me entirely convinced on the matter. That said, we have a lot of crude oil in this country…more in storage than at any time in our history. We're producing oil at record rates, even considering the falling rig counts.
Some worry that we can't sustain this production and if we 'use it up' then we'll be back where we were in the 1970's, under the thumb of OPEC.
The world is larger now than it was then (figuratively, related to crude production) and technologies have improved to where it's not just the OPEC nations who swing a big stick. The crude oil they had (and have) is some of the easiest to extract…but other nations have incredibly amounts of known reserves. The 'Peak Oil' scares of the late 1990's and early 2000's is nothing but dust in the wind, renewable fuel development programs abandoned in the face of the Shale Revolution.
Part of me thinks that partially lifting the ban isn't a bad idea…something to test the waters before going all in…limiting the amount of crude we're willing to export but export enough to gauge its effects on the marketplaces we have concerns with.
Crude will always be a big topic on PropaneBuzz.com because of its direct impact on propane prices. Lower oil prices will mean lower propane prices, by and large, unless drastically lower (and sustained) oil and gas prices leads to a steep drop in production (say, natural gas) which then has the whipsaw effect of a market correction the other way….REMEMBER: these markets swing wildly to and fro…they rarely move in reasonable increments. Rather, they go from extreme to extreme.
We tasted the extreme highs last year. This year, we experienced an extreme drop, as crude oil tanked. As long as crude oil is range bound between where it is now and the mid $50's, propane will probably stay in a $.10 to $.15 cent range. But please keep in mind (and I know this is repetitive, but it's important), the world is one geopolitical move away from crude oil reacting sharply to the upside…at least for a time.
If I had to predict whether or not the United States will once again export crude oil, I would say yes, it will in some capacity. There are folks out there who believe crude oil has a lot farther to fall (such as in this article which talks about $10 crude, something last seen in the late 1990's when I was just a few years into my career in propane). There are important and powerful entities in this country and abroad who would rather not see crude at such low levels. If the United States begins exporting crude, the supply glut we have right now will abate…and just how much production will be around when we get there is another factor on future supply and price.
There are also geopolitical aspects to a decision such as this…and I don't think we're going to see it any time soon…but I think it will happen within the next few years barring some global event that reminds us just how precarious and reactive energy prices are.

I've been thinking a lot lately. A lot a lot. Here's why:
Once upon a time, Kandace was in high school. She really wanted to go to SUU, so she did. And she loved it. Then Kandace fell in love and planned to get married to a certain boy. By marrying this boy, she would have to leave SUU, but she decided it'd be worthy trade-off. While Kandace was planning to marry this boy, she decided that when she grows up she wanted to be a speech therapist. Being a speech therapist would also be another reason to leave SUU. A while later, that boy felt like it wasn't right to marry Kandace anymore, and she was sad for awhile, but went on with her life.
She still wanted to be a speech therapist, so she made plans to transfer to BYU. Applying to BYU was a lengthy process, filled with short essays and interviews. The application had to be finished by February 1st. Kandace did everything in her power to get it all done in time, but BYU never got her transcripts from her concurrent enrollment classes from high school, which meant her application was incomplete, which meant BYU never looked at her application. Once Kandace figured this whole situation out it was kind of too late. Yet, she explained everything to BYU and they said they'd make a special case and look over her application, but they made sure to let her know that it would be very unlikely for her to get in. Well, last Thursday, Kandace found out that she didn't get in for fall semester because that one transcript was so late.
Kandace is realizing, that there must be some reason for her to be at SUU next fall. Every time she tries to get away, no matter how wise her efforts in leaving may seem, it just falls apart for reasons out of her control. She feels like she's trying her hardest to make good choices and do good things, but her plans don't seem to go her way.
But.... (thank you institute)

In the Domesday Book of 1086 the manor of Patcham Court had a population of approximately 1,750 people. This made it one of the largest settlements in the county. By 1801 the population had dwindled to 286. The development of modern Patcham began in the 1930s.
This nostalgic tour, produced in January 2003 by regular contributor Martin Nimmo, illustrates the growth of Patcham in the 1960s.

Soakin' It All In
I don't seem to share as much about Alex as I do my girls. Ella is just in that fun stage of discovery and Anna, is well, Anna (so much to say about that child, I try to hold back). But Alex is pretty easy going and keeps to himself (assuming his sister leaves him alone).
So I thought I would celebrate this fine Friday with a funny Alex story from way back when.
|Alex is more like 4 here, but it is all I had readily available.
I was still pregnant with Anna so that would have made Alex right around 2 (+ a month or two) years old. It was a gorgeous late-spring day. I was cooking in the kitchen and Pete was out in the back yard working on an old truck we had. I can't remember what he was doing exactly but I remember it was supposed to be something routine, changing/replacing some nut/bolt/thingie.
Alex was a bit of a late bloomer when it came to speech development. He had a very limited English vocabulary (but spoke fluent Giberish) up until 2. From age 2-3 he went from speaking a handful of words to full on paragraphs and endless hours of stories. But on this particular day, we were still at the handful end of the spectrum.
Alex had been playing with those big Legos at the table near me while I prepared a few extra meals for when the new baby came. At some point he slipped away and went downstairs to see what his dad was up to. I could see them from out the window and checked on them both from time to time.
I guess maybe 30 mins—an hour went by and Alex made his way back up to see me, still with Legos in hand. He regained his place at the table and began examining his two Lego contraptions. Then he began to pound one of the parts with the other part in his hand and clear as a bell, chimed out,
"F_ck it. F_ck it. F_ck it."
I seriously almost peed my pants. To keep Alex from seeing me bust out laughing, I turned to look out the window. There was Pete, red faced, clearly frustrated, smeared in black with various truck parts scattered about. It certainly didn't take a genius to figure out where Alex had discovered this new phrase.
Luckily, I played it as cool as I could and this did not become part of his limited vocabulary. One of my favorite stories, absolutely, but to my knowledge this scene did not get re-enacted at daycare. It actually took years of driving in the car with two less than perfectly rationale parents for my kids to develop their colorful words and even then, they know better than to use them liberally.
Hope you enjoyed my tale and you have a great weekend.
Happy Friday!

One of the goals of the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) is to develop youth football and improve the game at the senior national team level. Of course, many could argue that this has been achieved already with faster and better tactical and technical play at the most senior level.
However, one of the questions is whether there is a correlation between success at the lower youth level and success at the older levels. In essence, if a country performs well at a youth level, does that performance predict success at the higher level in a few years? In this piece, we explore that question. The result here is exploratory and must be interpreted with extreme caution as it does not meet with strict requirements of scientific study. For instance, we have not looked at team rosters in order to answer the question nor have we controlled for effects of extraneous variables. Instead, we simply compared data on teams that reached the semi-final stages (Top Four) of U17, U20, Olympics, and the World Cup. We predict that teams finishing in the Top Four in a U17 World Cup should finish in the Top Four in the U20, two years later, in order to infer successful effect. For the Olympics, we look at the effect of the two preceding Top Four finishes at the U20 level. For the World Cup, we look at the effect of the preceding Olympics. Underlying these assumptions is that the aging and continued improvement of players will lead to probable positive effect at the subsequent level of football.
The results are shown below with effects at three levels: The U20 level, Olympic level, and the national team level.
Effect at the U20 Level
The data shows results that are not definitive (Figure 1). Only in two competitions -- 1997 and 2005 -did the top four teams at the U20 competitions represent 50% of the top four teams from the U17 competitions in the previous years. For instance, Ghana and Argentina finished among the top four at the U17 level in 1995, and two years later, were among the top four at the U20 level. No country has won the U17 and proceeded, two years later, to win the U20! The only country to come closest to achieving this is Ghana. Ghana won the U17 in 1991 and reached the U20 final two years later losing to Brazil.
Effect at the Olympic (U-23 level)
Here, the results are better (Figure 2). The peak achievements occur at 75% levels for two competitions, unlike the U20 level. At every Olympics we have in the top four at least one team that finished in the top four at a preceding U20 competition. The top years are 1996 and 2008 Olympics. In 1996, Nigeria was the only team to finish top four that had not finished top four at the preceding U20 competitions. The other three teams - Argentina, Brazil, and Portugal - had done so. Here in lies a quirk in this study. The Nigerian team actually had on its roster (Remember rosters were not used for this report) several players who had been part of the 1993 victory at the U17 level! Thus, we must interprete the reports here with caution. Using actual rosters should make for a more definitive study.
Effect at the Senior Level
Ultimately, one would expect that results at the senior level will be better than the U23 level. However, that is not the case (Figure 3). In fact, the effect is weakest at this level with 25% being the best achievement effect in any World Cup year. The stranglehold of the senior World Cup, by a few countries, continue in spite of more distributed performance at the lower levels. Nevertheless, both the 1998 and 2006 World Cups saw at least one country finish at the top four after doing so at a recent Olympics. In 1998, it was Brazil and in 2006 it was Italy.

There are times in all our lives when moving forward in a positive, purposeful direction – or even resting with peace of mind – seems impossible. Whether you are struggling through a life changing event or feeling lost, having space to explore your thoughts and feelings can transform the darkest of chapters.
We all have an innate ability to grow and develop. It's easy to get stuck in repeating patterns which no longer work for us though. Or be thrown well off course by an unexpected event or trauma that may have happened a long time ago. In any case, the resources for wellness are within you.
To augment the main flow of talking therapy, we may choose to use creative visualizations, art therapy, dream exploration and sandplay among other techniques – depending on what feels right to you. There are also times when something more cognitive is needed – for example, techniques and strategies for dealing with low self confidence, stress, anxiety, fear or anger.
I offer you a warm, comfortable, non-judgmental and confidential environment from which to explore.
Psychotherapy is a collaborative process that addresses personal growth as well as psychological distress.
Recent brains scans done before and after psychotherapy show that the brain plastically reorganizes itself in treatment. We all have reaction patterns that hide painful ideas, feelings and memories from conscious awareness. By working through these patterns we turn implicit memories (the ghosts that can haunt us) into declarative memories that have a clear context. (See Norman Doidge, The Brain That Changes Itself, Penguin Books, Chapter 9)
Since psychotherapy involves the exploration and processing of uncomfortable aspects of life, you may at times experience difficult feelings like sadness, guilt, anger and frustration along with insight and release. It is this working through that allows long term change to take place.
Psychotherapy commonly leads to improved relationships, healthy solutions to specific problems and significant increases in mental clarity and emotional balance.
Psychotherapy is a place to talk openly, let the emotions out, frame your experience and find yourself again. It is a space to heal.
What does psychotherapy address?
- Abuse
- Anger Management
- Anxiety
- Bereavement
- Cancer
- Depression
- Emotional Abuse
- End of Life Issues
- Healing visualisations for illness and infertility
- Illness
- Life Transitions
- Loss of Direction and Meaning
- Loss of Faith
- Low Self-Confidence
- Low Self-Esteem
- Postnatal Depression
- Relationship Issues
- Relocation
- Self Awareness
- Separation and Divorce
- Sexual Abuse
- Sexuality
- Spiritual Issues
- Stress
