text: Determining the interconverting conformations of dynamic proteins in atomic detail is a major challenge for structural biology. Conformational heterogeneity in the active site of the dynamic enzyme cyclophilin A (CypA) has been previously linked to its catalytic function. Here we compare the conformational ensembles of CypA by fixed-target X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) crystallography and multitemperature synchrotron crystallography. The "diffraction-before-destruction" nature of XFEL experiments provides a radiation-damage-free view of the functionally important alternative conformations of CypA. We monitored the temperature dependences of these alternative conformations with eight synchrotron datasets spanning 100-310 K. Multiconformer models show that many alternative conformations in CypA are populated above, but not below, the glass transition temperature (~200 K) and reveal abrupt changes in protein flexibility that provide all-atom insight into conformational coupling. Together, our XFEL data and multitemperature analyses motivate a new generation of time-resolved experiments to structurally characterize the dynamic underpinnings of protein function.

At present, I'm learning to play guitar using tabs, but would like to be able to read music, can you recommend a book to learn from.
You sent me the tab for El Testamen de Amelia a few months ago which I can now play. I sent you a thank you email but it kept coming back so I hope this reaches you.
Many thanks
Andy Constantinou
Hi Andy,
Thanks for the very nice comments, I appreciate them very much. A book I could recommend for theory is Alfred's Music Theory series. The blurb on the site is useful information about the series...
"Alfred's Essentials of Music Theory is designed for students of any age, whether listeners or performers, who want to have a better understanding of the language of music."
Additionally, you might want to supplement your learning with a good Dictionary of Music.
I hope this is of help.
Kind regards,
Trevor M.

When reading sheet music, how do I know on which string to play each note? I know how to work out notes on the strings but I don't know which string to play on. Please help me!
Hi Amy,
In guitar music, it's traditional to see a number(1-6) inside a circle. This indicates which string the note is on.
You can see a little example on this page... where you can see: "0" in a circle, which means the "A" open string; a "3" in a circle, which means the "c" on the third string; and another "3" in a circle, which means the "B" on the third string.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Trevor M.

Chicago Bears' Nagy had no doubts about wanting to keep Fangio
Almost from the moment he was hired as the Bears' head coach, Matt Nagy made no secret about the importance of rehiring Vic Fangio as the team's defensive coordinator.
"That was obviously one of the big questions going into this thing," Nagy said. "To me it was really simple. The numbers speak for themselves. Here's a guy that has been in this league for a very long time (31 years), and the production is there. (You're) talking about a Top 10 defense, year-in and year-out; a guy that I'll be able to learn some of the ins and outs of what (his) defenses do so well."
Fangio's reputation as a defensive mastermind was well established before he transformed the Bears' doormat defense that he inherited in 2015 into a Top 10 unit in 2017. So Nagy's interest in rehiring Fangio, whose contract had expired a few days earlier, was understandable.
But why would Fangio want to return as the team's defensive coordinator after he was passed over for their head coaching job?
"I didn't have a list," Fangio said of his criteria. "I just had to feel comfortable with everything; with who the head coach was going to be, the continued direction of the team roster-wise, things of that nature."
Nagy was announced as the 16th head coach in franchise history on Jan. 8. At Nagy's introductory news conference, he was asked about Fangio and said: "We're gonna attack that full steam ahead."
The process seemed to drag on forever, especially for fans who considered Fangio's defense a vital building block for the future. Four days later, the deal was done.
"It was a drawn-out process in that there were a lot of possibilities," said Fangio, who had other options. "It became a comparison thing. I'm not surprised (to be back). From the start, I knew it was an option."
The Bears got him, in large part, because Fangio has a desire to continue working with a group of players he has helped mold into an impressive unit.
"That's a positive," said Fangio, who also expects to have most, if not all, of his assistants back on staff. "I like our guys. I really like coaching the group that we have. My favorite time during the week was being in front of them and going over practice, watching the opponents' tape and installing the plan for the week. They're a good group collectively, and as individuals, and that part was appealing to me."
Last year's defense was No. 9 in points and No. 10 in total yards allowed. It was also No. 6 in sack percentage and No. 7 in passing yards allowed.
There's no danger of Fangio tearing a rotator cuff from patting himself on the back.
"Strides were made," he said. "Not enough. I think it's a wrong picture to paint that the defense was great and the rest of the team wasn't. We were 5-11. If we were a great defense, we'd have more than five wins. There's a lot of room for improvement there -- a lot -- and we need to do that."
As for the 59-year-old Fangio not getting the head coach's job and working for the 39-year-old guy who did, he said it won't be a problem.
Fangio was asked about his frustration over not getting a shot as the head coach.
"People have a picture in their mind what they're looking for (in a head coach). Obviously I haven't met that criteria to those people," he said.
"I don't think I'm any less deserving or less qualified. I know I do a (heck) of a job. I don't take it personal."
A bigger concern for Fangio, when he was asked by Bears general manager Ryan Pace to interview for the head coach's job, was how he would mesh with a new coach if he didn't get the top job.
"When Ryan came in and asked me to interview for the job, I said, 'Fine, if you want me to.' But I wouldn't want it to be held against whoever you hire that I interviewed for the job (because) that may make them uncomfortable. So I made sure of that."
All indications are that Nagy is more than comfortable with his defensive coordinator.
"The biggest thing going into it with Vic was just trying to figure out his philosophy, my philosophy, how it meshes together," Nagy said. "Can we make it work as people, as peers and as friends?
"It was easy to tell right away when we met that that was going to happen."

Named in homage to iconic director Wes Anderson, the Wes lounge recalls the director's striking aesthetic appearance and represents an exploration into traditional upholstery and minimal design.
April 28th, 2016
Merging traditional upholstery techniques and minimalist design, the Wes lounge is the result of over a year in development from designer Tom Fereday. Distributed by Zenith, the recently shown off in Milan range was sculpted and manipulated by hand over a uniquely designed, timber frame. Channelling the whimsical and memorable colour scheme of films such as The Grand Budapest Hotel and The Royal Tenenbaums, the Wes Lounge conveys a complex yet minimal form with its entirely seamless fabric design and contrasting piping celebrates the soft form of the lounge as a concept.
Honest design from the inside out, the Wes range is entirely representative of Tom Fereday's design philosophy. By using materials and environment as a design constraint, Tom Fereday is able to employ intelligent and thoughtful design goals to meld form and function.
The Wes Lounge is constructed entirely from Eco plywood and finished with solid Ash legs and natural fabrics, and is available through Zenith.

Tomorrow at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time, the Western States Endurance Run commences. In my estimation and in the opinions of many others, it is the Super Bowl, World Series, or World Cup Finals of ultrarunning. This race is 100 miles through California's Sierra Nevada Mountains. While it isn't the toughest 100 mile ultramarathon in the world, it is a race that's been around since the mid 70s when there were barely any 100 mile races and it attracts the best athletes from around the globe. For me, as well as many other aspiring ultrarunners, it is the first ultramarathon we read or hear about. It reminds me of my youth when I would hear legendary stories about World Series games with stars like Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and Reggie Jackson.As race day approaches, I have found myself glued to interviews, podcasts, blogs, and magazine articles related to this year's event. The enthusiasm in which I find myself made me look at the connection between my passion for ultrarunning compared to baseball. Back in 1987-88, I had somewhat of a breakthrough athletically. Prior to that, I wasn't uncoordinated per se. I was fast and strong but didn't really stand out in any particular sport. I was decent in basketball as a guard, I was good at soccer as a fullback, but in baseball I was relegated to the dreaded right field position. For those that are unfamiliar with little league baseball, right field is where you would stick your worst players because the frequency of balls going out there was very little. Yet in 1987, my parents had a great idea to send me to a baseball camp in Cocoa Beach, Florida–The Clint Hurdle Baseball Camp. Those 5 days of working with professional baseball players changed my life. By having people work with me and teach me drills, the technique of proper practice, and the repetition necessary to improve, I suddenly gained a level of confidence I never had before. When the next season started for baseball, I went from being a bench warmer to one of the top players in the league. My love for baseball grew exponentially. I watched and listened to as many games as possible (no internet or cable television in those days). I collected baseball cards. I played baseball video games on the Nintendo and my computer. My friends and I played pickup baseball games all year long. When we would play these games, one thing we would do was pretend to be players in the Major Leagues. We would try to emulate their mannerisms, batting stances, and styles. The player I always picked was Eric Davis. He was a center fielder for my beloved Cincinnati Reds.
Quick side note–while I lived in the Washington, D.C. area for most of my life, I did spend 3 years in the suburbs of Cincinnati in a town called Loveland. Because Washington did not have a baseball team during my childhood, I adopted the Reds as my team because I was not from Baltimore. I followed the Baltimore Orioles but I loved the Reds.
As a boy it was common to pick an athlete to idolize and I knew everything about Eric "The Red" Davis. I knew what high school he attended, that one of his friends growing up was Darryl Strawberry, what minor league teams he played for, his birthday…well you get the picture. What I particularly liked about him was that he played the game all out. He gave EVERYTHING he had every single game. He was fast, he could hit homeruns, he made amazing plays as a fielder, and seemed to be an all around good guy. He was never mixed up with drugs, arrests, and other off field shenanigans. I truly idolized him and tried to craft my game after him. Since those times, I have always been known by my teammates as someone who would play at 100%, organize my own practices-even when the teams weren't practicing, and would sacrifice my body to make a play or win the game. I had coaches tell my father at various times that I should try to relax a little more during practice because of my intensity.
Looking back on those times and comparing it to today, I wondered do I idolize any runners? Is it possible for me, a grown man, to idolize anymore? Do I know enough about the sport of ultrarunning to really speak on the subject? To answer the question about idolizing–I don't think as a grown man I would idolize anyone. I am content with who I am as an individual and my path in life. However, I do know that finding a few people that represent some of the things I hold important and who have immense experience to share is important if you want to grow. Think of the sensei-student relationship. As for knowing enough to speak about ultrarunning, who knows…I have only been studying the sport for a couple years, have only been running ultra distances since 2013, and only completed my first race 6 weeks ago.
To get straight to the point, I would say that there are some people that I find represent many of the qualities in which I aspire. I don't know whether it was serendipitous, coincidence, or just plain old dumb luck but the very first two books I bought related to ultrarunning were Finding Ultra by Rich Roll and Eat and Run by Scott Jurek. These two gentlemen seem to embody many of the things that are important to me at this juncture in my life.
Rich Roll's story is one of a school athlete who lost his way in college and by the time he was in his 30s was overweight, abusing alcohol and drugs, and unhappy with his life. He had a moment of clarity one night climbing the stairs, finding himself out of breath and realizing that if he continues down this road, he may not see much of his children's life unfold. By way of reaching out for help, changing his diet, and dedicating his energy to improve his life he turned himself into an incredible ultra athlete who completed the Epic 5–an annual event consisting of 5 Iron Distance Triathlons, on 5 Hawaiian Islands, in 5 Days. He wrote an amazing book chronically his journey, hosts a widely popular podcast "The Rich Roll Podcast" (which I am a dedicated listener), and now has a fabulous cookbook "The Plantpower Way". Reading his books and listening to him talk to such a diverse array of guests on his podcast has really given me an idea of what the guy represents. His insights, personal successes and failures, and the information that is presented in his podcasts has had such a profound impact on my life.
After I read Rich Roll's first book, I was thirsty for more. The next recommended book by Amazon after Finding Ultra was Eat and Run. This book by Scott Jurek tells his story starting as a young boy from Minnesota who worked his way up to being one the best, if not the best, ultrarunner in the world for a long stretch of time in the 2000s. Starting in 1999, he went on to win 7 consecutive Western States Endurance Runs, a feat that has never been matched. His story chronicled personal and family struggles as well as his journey to become a fully plant based athlete. Besides his success at the Western States, he went on to set numerous other records during his career.
- United States record for 24 hour distance on all surfaces (165.7 miles/266.01 kilometers).
- Won the Spartathlon 153-mile (246 km) race from Athens to Sparta, Greece three consecutive times (2006–2008).
- Won the Hardrock Hundred Mile Endurance Run (2007), and held the record time for one year until Kyle Skaggs set a new record in 2008.
- Won the Western States Endurance Run seven consecutive times (1999–2005), and held the record time (15:36:27 in 2004) until 2010
- Won the Badwater Ultramarathon twice (2005, 2006), and held the course record for two years (2005).
- Finished first three times (2002–2004) and second three times (2001, 2005, 2006) in the Miwok 100K Trail Race.
- Won the Leona Divide 50 Mile Run four times (2000, 2001, 2002, 2004).
- Won the Diez Vista 50K Trail Run twice (2000, 2003).
- Won the Montrail Ultra Cup series twice (2002, 2003).
- Selected as UltraRunning Magazine's North American Male Ultrarunner of the Year in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2007.
I would also say that I am impressed with Dean Karnazes. He is a polarizing figure in the ultra community but for me he is a genuine person who has done very well for himself by sharing and marketing his experience. While many athletes are annoyed at the amount of attention he receives stating he was never the best runner in the sport, he has won many prestigious races and has some amazing accomplishments. After reading his books and watching/listening to interviews, he passes my test in terms of guy who is the real deal. Here are some of Dean's feats:
- Ran 350 miles (560 km) in 80 hours and 44 minutes without sleep in 2005
- Single-handedly completed "The Relay", a 199-mile (320 km) run from Calistoga to Santa Cruz, eleven times
- Ran a marathon to the South Pole in −13 °F (−25 °C) temperatures without snowshoes in 2002
- Ran a marathon in each of the 50 states in 50 consecutive days in 2006
- Winner, Badwater Ultramarathon (135 miles (217 km) across Death Valley in 120 °F (49 °C) temperatures), 2004 (with five other top-10 finishes from 2000-2008)
- Winner, Vermont Trail 100 Mile Endurance Run, 2006
- Overall Winner, 4 Deserts Race Series, 2008
- American Ultrarunning Team, World Championships, 2005, 2008
- 148 miles (238 km) in 24 hours on a treadmill, 2004
- Eleven-time 100-Mile/1 Day Silver Buckleholder at the Western States Endurance Run (i.e., better than ten twenty-four-hour finishes), 1995–2006
- Ran 3,000 miles (4,800 km) across the United States from Disneyland to New York City in 75 days, running 40 to 50 miles (65 to 80 km) per day, 2011
What I particularly like about Scott and Rich as well as Dean is they come across as humble yet driven men. They don't seem cocky or have self-inflated egos. From all accounts, they are down to earth and enjoy sharing their experiences and helping others–qualities that I strive for in my life. While I may not attain such lofty accomplishments as these gentlemen, I draw inspiration and energy from what they have done and represent. What is important to me is that I continue to strive for that which seems beyond my reach, to challenge myself to be better at my life, and to be a father and husband to be proud of. I want my wife and daughters to see me in the light that I saw my idols as a kid and to truly be that person through and through. That is what drives me in life.

Anti-Tank Mines cost 600cc and come in 3s. Placing a 4th mine or changing to a class without mines causes first mine to disappear. It takes 3 mines to destroy an APC, which is the same amount as the number of RPG shots needed to destroy one.
Placing an Anti-Tank MineEdit
Placing the ATM takes 2–3 seconds and it isn't a good idea to go in the middle of a road where a firefight is going on.
Specific List of Good Mine LocationsEdit
Valor Domination: There are usually routes an APC can take around the roadblocks on a Valor map. Placing Anti-Tank mines directly in these paths can ruin a skilled APC-driver's day.
SVER Domination: On major roads, especially just past the bridge and around corners. Beware - Placing near the bridge is risky, since the enemy will very commonly have snipers on the other bank of the river.
- When placing an ATM one may be sniped. There is a simple way around this. Deploying smoke grenades in the snipers line of sight or around the ATM placer will create a visual barrier for the snipers making it a lot harder to be sniped, allowing for the player to place all 3 ATMs.

No one likes paying taxes because it is hard to see an immediate benefit from a large tax payment. Unfortunately, avoiding your taxes doesn't make them go away. It usually makes your problems worse.
For example, paying your taxes late can result in expensive fines. Those that wait until the last minute usually have to rush through their tax preparation, and can often overlook tax exemptions and credits that apply to them. Even worse, people may often miscalculate their taxes because they are in a rush to meet the tax deadline. Their miscalculations could result in an IRS tax audit which could mean more fines and penalties.
People usually start to take their taxes seriously after becoming audited, fined, or realizing that they missed out on some serious tax savings. If you're in this boat, you should think about enrolling in a tax preparation course. Tax preparation courses are extremely useful and practical. When it comes to paying taxes, you simply can't bury your head in the sand. Getting a grip on your taxes will help you achieve peace of mind. You'll be able to determine ahead of time what your tax payment will be, and thus be able to plan accordingly.
If you think you're too busy to take a tax preparation course, you should look into tax preparation courses offered online. They're designed specifically for the busy professional and offer a lot of academic flexibility.

5 stadiums every football fan must visit
5. The Maracana
When you mention football, Brazil is the country that first comes to your mind with its rich heritage and passion towards the game. The Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro is one iconic stadium in the country. It is the same stadium where Uruguay triumphed against Brazil in the 1950 World Cup in front of 200 thousand fans. It is the same stadium where Mario Goetze scored 2014 World Cup winning goal against Argentina. Brazilian legend Pele has scored number of goals at the stadium and also Brazil won the Olympic Gold at the very stadium in the 2016 final against Germany. One has to visit a stadium with such a rich history.
4. Camp Nou
Surely Barcelona aren't having the greatest of times right now but we surely know things will get better with time. Camp Nou is the home stadium for the Spanish giants Barcelona. The stadium has the largest capacity in European football with more than 99,000 fans being able to watch the game live at the stadium. The stadium hosted the 1989 Champions League final between AC Milan and Bucharest where Milan won 4-0 and also the epic 1999 Champions League final between Manchester United and FC Bayern where United won 2-1 with two late goals in the stoppage time.
3. Santiago Bernabeu
From one Spanish giant to another, Real Madrid have their home stadium at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Los Blancos are arguably the most successful club both in the La Liga and the Champions League by winning 33 and 12 titles respectively. It has a capacity of 81,000 spectators and it has hosted 4 European finals including the one between Inter Milan and FC Bayern in 2010 where Inter won 2-0. It is also used for Spain's national team games as the nation doesn't have a specific home ground assigned to it.
2. Estadio Centenario
The Centenario is referred as the home ground for the Uruguayan national team with the stadium located in the capital of Uruguay, Montevideo. It hosted the first ever FIFA World Cup in 1930 and that is why along with Argentina, Uruguay have requested to host the 2030 World Cup marking the 100 years of the tournament. The atmosphere is quite intimidating at the stadium as Uruguay normally enjoy a dominant spell at the stadium.
1. Estadio Azteca
Pele and Maradona are two of the greatest players to bless the sport. Both these players had special moments at the Estadio Azteca in the Mexican capital Mexican City. Pele won the World Cup with Brazil in 1970 at the very stadium scoring a header and assisting in another in the final while Maradona scored the famous "Hand of God" goal at this stadium and also one of the goals of the 20th century dribbling past English players and scoring past the goalkeeper. The stadium has a capacity of 87,000 and is one of the most iconic stadiums in the football world.

A cosmic journey
Mahler's awe-inspiring crusade through the realms of good and evil
Sun 25 Jun 2017 7pm, Barbican
Life, death, evil, innocence, nature – no stone is left unturned in this colossal work. From transfixing heavenly melodies, electrifying brass, to the sweet sounds of childhood, Mahler takes us on a journey of epic proportions.

Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, N2L 3G1
A small open-return wind tunnel has been renovated to include a longer test section with a flexible roof and floor and improved entrance flow quality. The flexible-wall test section allows models with up to 30 percent nominal blockage to be tested, resulting in a significant increase in the maximum attainable Reynolds numbers. Interchangeable rigid side-wall panels allow flexibility of application which is essential for a university wind tunnel facility. Configurations have been developed for automotive, aerodynamic and atmospheric-boundary-layer testing. Data acquisition and wall positioning are at an economical semi-automated level of operation. The flexible-wall concept has been well-documented previously, and provides interference-free data without flow pattern assumptions after a few iterations of the roof and floor shape. Representative data are presented for a circular cylinder and an airfoil.

On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, we are honoured to announce the organization of the XVI Symposium on Biological Nitrogen Fixation with Non-Legumes, together with the IV Latin-American workshop on PGPR and the XIX RELARE, in Foz do Iguaçu (Iguassu Falls, Brazil) from 26-31th August 2018. The event will cover a wide range of disciplines including evolution, ecology, genomics, biochemistry, physiology, crop production, crop engineering and new applications of growth-promoting microorganisms. The Symposia will be comprised of plenary talks by international experts as well as posters and oral presentations chosen from submitted abstracts. We welcome participants from academia, industry as well as from the public and farming sector and look forward to fruitful discussions on the latest developments in this field.
The main goal of this meeting is to bring into discussion the different aspects of the use of microbes and their interaction with crops, in order to meld the basic and advanced research with a focus biological products for the improvement of crop yields.
The Symposium
The Symposium on Biological Nitrogen Fixation with Non-Legumes have been traditionally organized since 1979. In the years 2008 and 2012, the 11th and 13th BNF‐NL‐symposia were successfully organized as satellite meetings of the European Nitrogen Fixation Congresses in Ghent and Munich, respectively. This was also true for the 14th BNF‐NL‐Symposium that was organized by our Chinese colleagues at the Asian Congress of Plant‐Microbe Interaction in Cheng‐Du in October 2014.
The Latin-American Workshop
The Latin-American Workshop on PGPR is a recent series of meetings based on research and application of Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR). The 1st meeting was organized in Medellin, Colombia, and was part of the 9th International PGPR conference. In 2014, the 2nd workshop was organized in La Falda, Cordoba, Argentina and the 3rd Workshop was organized in Pucon, Chile. In 2018, Brazil has the honor to welcome you to a meeting to gather together experts with the proposal of bridging BNF-NL and PGPR in the light of new concepts, methods, organisms and field utilization for crop growth.
The meeting of the laboratory network for recommendation, standardization and diffusion of microbial inoculants technology for agricultural interest (RELARE) was created in the early 1980s with representatives from research institutions, inoculant industries and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA). The role of RELARE is historic and decisive for the establishment of legislation on microbial inoculants in the country as well as the protocols contained in normative instructions for inoculants. In addition, RELARE represents the most important forum in Brazil for the discussion of new inoculant products and technologies, guaranteeing the safe and beneficial use of microorganisms in Brazilian agriculture and influencing other countries in South America. The XIX RELARE has the objective of bringing together researchers and producers/importers of microbial inoculants of agricultural interest in Brazil in a forum where the main advances and current problems related to the theme will be discussed.

New York, New York
But we're getting ahead of ourselves here. We haven't even left Chelmsford, this charming, rich little village, yet. We took possibly the most economical, if not the most inconvenient, way of getting to New York. First, getting to the train station in Lowell. Then, a commuter train to Boston(North Station, please. They're too pompous to have everything in one place. They have to have two-to-three stations.). Then, via Boston subway(the fellow operated like an orangutan performing brain surgery. Not well, to make myself clearer.) to Boston South station. Then, the Chinese came along.
Till a few years ago, Greyhound had been the primary and unchallenged bus service operator across America. You would see Greyhound buses crisscrossing the country (insofar as large buses can or have the need to crisscross across a sparsely populated country), virtually unopposed. They had the right to set what prices they would, offer what services they deigned to and smash to bits the skulls of what deer they came across as they sped ruthlessly across the great American landscape.
That all changed. The Chinese came along and said they would be happy to lug people between major cities for just fifteen dollars. Compare this to the fifty-five which Greyhound used to charge passengers for the same distance(Boston-New York). After some quick calculation, most people decided 'Screw luxury, I'm taking the cheap bus.' A wise choice. After all, the buses were good, there were no frills attached but that didn't matter since it wasn't a mammoth journey anyway and the guy stopped in between for ten minutes, and the entire transportation service was efficient. Though the service was named funny, going by the moniker Fung Wah, and the female conductors almost always screamed at you("No no NO! No getting off the bus. We gotta leave now. You sit down, please!" As though I was suddenly going to fill up with helium and sit up, stuck to the ceiling.), there was no complaining about the to-the-point nature of their operation. If you drive fast and fancy cars, it takes you three and a half hours to get to New York from Boston, apparently. But the price of fuel being what it is, fifteen dollars seems a very good bargain, despite the bus taking four-and-a-half hours for the journey.
That's that. We got to New York late at night, since we could leave Chelmsford only after office on Friday night last. Despite exciting events along the way(this woman kept sitting up excitedly and her top kept falling off. She didn't seem too perturbed and neither were we. In other news, an Indian girl was sitting in the last seat with two guys, wearing only a shirt. The girl, not the guys. She was ugly, though.), we slept through most of the journey. As we pulled into the rain-sloshed streets of New York close to midnight, visions of jazz and DeNiro-and-Cybill Shepherd-with-Bernard-Herrmann-playing-sax-in-the-background and Woody Allen filled my head, with the soft lights from the buildings streaming into the bus kaleidoscopically through the raindrops on the windows and making the drops shimmer like fairies' wings.
New York is where you should live if you're here(unless you're living in Chelmsford, which is quite the opposite). Shit like California should be banned (or, at the very least, scratched off the map). This magnificent city – the streets, the people, the atmosphere - bewitches you instantly. They call it beauty capital of the world and it truly is. Nowhere have I seen such a huge congregation of stunningly beautiful women as I have in New York. Of course, there is the possibility that they may be visitors but I will leave that cynical speculation to atheists and people with piles.
We followed the first-time-tourists routine strictly. We got on the hop on-hop off New York City tour buses at Port Authority Bus Terminal(PABT) and this British ex-soldier named Keith told us a lot of things about New York. He said he'd been to India twenty-one times and to Bangalore about five times. We wished him well but didn't pay him any money. We're like that:- all heart, no money. He did tell us fascinating stories about New York, though. Showed us Katz's Deli, where the salad scene from "When Harry met Sally" was shot. Also showed us Fiddlesticks, the pub/inn where Jimi Hendrix and his band would mess around in his formative years before he hit big time and time hit back. Bob Dylan was also there for a while, apparently.
The Statue of Liberty. It's nice. A bit old, but still nice. We should ship it to India. How come no one gave us a gift for any anniversary of our Independence? Maybe Italy will on our centenary. Anyway, I bought a bookmark for someone on Liberty Island. You know who you are. We also went up to the top of the Empire State building just before sunset and it offered us a magnificent view. Yes, the night view is even more spectacular but we didn't have the time. Because at night, we were at...
Times Square – the centre of the world. This amazing junction of roads is possibly the greatest place on earth to while away your time. Yes, I know, "you're just saying that because this is your first time abroad and what about MG Road and Brigade road, huh? Bloody, come to Malleshwaram and we'll show you hangout places. Times ante, Square ante. Hogo lo, nin a***n!" But Times Square truly is amazing. There are simply too many places to see/visit/checkout. Most importantly, there's a Hard Rock Cafe and it has very nice seating and good music was heard as I went in for an inspection with a friend. We couldn't find any seating, though, so we walked out, disappointed. But we're going back there again; no worries, children. They light up the place like no place else and you feel so happy for human progress, one of the few times you feel so. Yes, a bunch of bright lights can delight me. I'm like a low-end child or a high-end ape.
Here's a low-res video of Times Square made by one of my colleagues. It makes you wish you had been there, but in better quality.
I occur occasionally in this video, making as video of my own. The other smiling sheepishly at the camera are my colleagues. You will notice:- not one female. We are very angry about that.
Madame Tussaud's was where we were at the next day(Sunday). Many among us posed ridiculously with wax models of famous people. I can be seen in various bad pictures with Woody Allen, Julia Roberts, Vince and Jules from 'Pulp fiction,' Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Aniston, Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin. A large man with a sheepish smile can also be seen in some pictures with Angelina Jolie, Elle Macpherson, Beyonce Knowles, Salma Hayek, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Abraham Lincoln. This is our colleague.
We ate at reasonably small Italian places. It's been easy for some of us vegetarians to survive in the US, if we're not too particular about taste. But we can cook, so that's ok.
Chinatown in New York sucks. Worse than the spaces below the KR Market(Sirsi circle) flyover. And there's nothing that's so great or awesome that it merits a journey to this little world-unto-itself. Skip it, we should have been told. Amusing incident from Chinatown for next post, since this has already become too long. And so, I will end abruptly.

[Anonymous Asha] Amusing incident is just that this guy took us to his shop saying he had the iPhone, cracked and without the AT&T contract required. We went in all eager, only to find it slightly heavier than the usual iPhone and coarser to the touch as well. We flipped it over to find it was the hiPhone, and the guy said he didn't have Apple's iPhone but this one was as good. We bid him goodbye and exited, stage left.
Yeah, it isn't really that amusing.
[freak] I'll visit SF, then. Maybe I have been too hasty in my judgement of the city.
I hear Sandeep is going at you now with his essays.

The oceans keep droning as a new batch of material cometh my way from the unrelenting Mystery Sea label, whose late 2010 was marked by an impressive output of releases (one per month from September through to November if I'm not mistaken), including Banks Bailey's sub-bass nether-world (review forthcoming) and Colin Andrew Sheffield's poignant, yet effervescent minimalist excursions.
A couple of weeks ago I was stuck in a bit of a music enthusiast's rut. In attempting to glean a sense of purpose from a handful of small-run phonography and noise albums, I found myself instead shrugging my shoulders and spending countless minutes per day staring apathetically out windows. Not surprisingly, my distress was soon answered by Colin Andrew Sheffield's Slowly, which propelled me out of that hole by acting as the perfect aural cleanser to my undeniably bored ears. What did surprise me though was just how far it was able to propel me out of that hole and back into the realm of music appreciation, such that every one of my records looked as if they were gold plated and resembled small portals into an eternal paradise where existence is nothing less than pure and infinite pleasure for all of the body's senses. I guess you could call it good timing.
As the liner notes proclaim, the four untitled tracks that occupy Slowly were all derived from various commercially available recordings, although their ambiguity upon first listen means they could easily be mistaken for anything from synths and guitars to augmented field recordings. Upon second or third listen, however, the musical process (I would imagine similar to that used by Belong on their Colorless Record 12", only less obvious) that Sheffield most likely applied in the rendering of these tracks becomes clearer. The shape and form of the original music is there, though the material was obviously fed through an array of processing, likely by certain techniques that have become unique to Sheffield's musical assemblage.
The nearly 20 minute opening track is also the album's finest, registering an amorphous haze of sonic rippling that is ever dynamic. The entirety of the sound spectrum is forced to capitulate to the track's overpowering mass, affectively generating a tug-o-war amongst crystal-sharp tones and out-of-focus resonances. The Industrial overtones and sprawling hiss of the second track continue to encapsulate Sheffield's abilities to adeptly collide the bleary with the lucid, while the third track sees Sheffield slip into a tireless arrangement of heavy-toned minimalism, resembling a more tranquil reprise of the opening track. The closer, with its swaying sawtooth arpeggios, steps on the heels of noise though quickly pulls back before retreating into the meditative abyss that is the album's lifeline. A fine work.

As quoted from the Weekend Australian
Reader Jack from Queensland decided to buy a new car.
He fell in love with the Audi S3 (starting price of $65,000). Despite being a follower of this column Jack is a smart guy and did his sums.
He worked out the finance Audi was offering him was 16 per cent (and how good would the trailing commissions be on that).
Jack says that on every step of the sales process, they tried to screw him and what should have been a pleasurable experience was quite soured.
Anyway, he paid the deposit and was told the car would be ready in a week. So, during the week Jack had time to think. He decided to pay cash and more importantly read the fine print.
Friends, you won't be surprised to hear that the warranty started in March 2017. Jack believed that he as buying a car with new-car warranty. But no. Had he not read the fine print he would have been six months short on warranty and you would have to question whether the car was really a new or demo vehicle. The car would have been worth a lot less with what is almost a used car warranty.
Jack called the dealer. Naturally everyone in the dealership ducked for cover. Eventually they changed the warranty but insisted the car must go to them for the last six months of the warranty period.
Weekend Australian – October 21-22 2017 – John Connolly
Peter Lloyd's Comments:
I wonder what build date the car has?
If it is 2016, resale value is decreased by thousands of dollars more.
This is where a car broker like myself comes in handy. I protect the buyer from scenarios like this.

Meet Lee & Lula The Owners
Please read the full story
Hello this is Lee the owner of Doggy Treat Box. Right now you can see a picture of me and Lula. I would like to share with you what treats I put inside our Doggy Treat Box and why I setup this Doggy Treat Box business on our Story page.
It was because I lost my work from home job which allowed me to stay at home and look after Lula. After losing my work from home job I quickly realized I would need to find work but if I had to go work away from home I would lose Lula.

Center for High Pressure Science &Technology Advanced Research
Dr. Zewen Xiao [Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan]
Title: Photovoltaic Properties of Lead-Free Halide Perovskites and Double Perovskites: Insights from Electronic Dimensionality
Time: 10:30 - 11:30 AM, Monday, August 14, 2017
Place: C405, HPSTAR (Beijing)
Host: Huiyang Gou
Despite the demonstration of rapid improvement in record power conversion efficiency (PCE) over the past few years, the ultimate commercialization of organic–inorganic lead (Pb) halide perovskite solar cell technology is still facing serious challenges, most notably with regards to cell instability against moisture and temperature and the inclusion of toxic Pb. Extensive efforts have been paid to search for nontoxic or low-toxicity and air-stable metal halide perovskite-based solar cell materials. So far, only tin halide perovskites have produced solar cells with reasonable PCEs; other lead-free halide perovskites have not produced efficient devices. Therefore, it is important to fully understand the photovoltaic properties of all reported lead-free halide perovskites. In this seminar, we introduce the concept of electronic dimensionality to account for the photovoltaic properties of perovskite-based solar cell materials, with focus on the recently-proposed halide double perovskites. Our results explain the challenges for realizing promising Pb-free halide perovskite absorbers for thin-film solar cell applications.
Biography of the Speaker:
Dr. Zewen Xiao received his Ph.D. degree in Materials Science from Tokyo Institute of Technology in 2015 under the supervision of Prof. Toshio Kamiya and Prof. Hideo Hosono. He worked as a postdoctoral fellow in Prof. Yanfa Yan's group at The University of Toledo (2015 to 2016). Currently, he is a Research Assistant Professor of Materials Research Center for Element Strategy in Tokyo Institute of Technology. He has published 30+ SCI papers, including 20 first-author papers published in journals including J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem., Adv. Energy Mater., Mater. Horiz., and J. Phys. Chem. Lett. His current research interest focuses on first-principles simulation and design of functional materials including photovoltaic absorbers and inorganic electrides.

Legalized marijuana has brought increased tourism to Colorado. While there have been some visitors who come specifically for the smoke, even more are adding it to their vacation plans while in the Centennial State. A visit to Denver offered a few clues as to what adult recreational legalization might look like in Nevada…
Denver dispensaries are rather different than the ones in Nevada: not so much on the uniformed security guards or buzz-in doors, no paperwork to fill out, no sitting and waiting for your name to be called to enter the sanctum sanctorum of sativa. Also, they all close by 10 p.m. (and many earlier), so do your shopping early. However, there is a division between medical and recreational—you need a prescription for medical cannabis, which carries lower taxes (hence, lower prices) and can be bought in higher amounts.
Reefer Madness is conveniently located between the airport and downtown Denver. Adorned with posters of the eponymous 30s film, it offers a wide selection of products at good prices, as well as a chill staff.
Downtown the dispensaries are a bit smaller and tend to be in basements. LoDo Wellness Center feels like wandering into some dealer's place—show your I.D. to the hippie chick, then cross the Oriental carpets to hippie dude with the table full of goodies. (Also, should you find yourself feeling a little munchy, Backcountry Delicatessen upstairs makes a good sandwich.) Native Roots is a bit more polished and professional, with separate medical and rec shopping areas.
This is probably a contributing factor to the popularity of edibles, which seem to dominate the dispensary displays—as for flower, they pull it out from behind a raft of chocolate bars, gum drops, lollipops, elixirs and tinctures. However, that preference has led to some fine products. Canyon Cultivation's Original Cannabis Coffee, a chilled brew with 10 mg of caffeine and 10mg of THC per serving. It's actually a well-made beverage on its own merits (locally roasted Guatemalan beans) and is a nice kickoff for a day of museum-going or hiking. Coda truffles have won awards at the High Times Cannabis Cup and, again, one would happily eat them even if there were no uplifting effects—after all, their chocolatier trained in Paris and worked at Thomas Keller's Per Se restaurant in New York City. Most boxes come with an assortment of flavors: the Coda has hazelnut, passion fruit and espresso, all with elegant modern-art designs that look more like something you'd buy at Neiman-Marcus.
While visitors are encouraged to purchase cannabis, they're not exactly encouraged to consume it—public use is prohibited and hotel rooms have very specific signage about how many hundreds of dollars it's going to cost if you leave your deluxe king smelling like Cheech & Chong's place. You don't smell it all over the streets like in California, so either folks are making good use of the edibles or of Denver's many alleyways (more than one bar patron told me they were stepping out to light up and I assume they weren't all puffing on Marlboros).
There are a few marijuana-friendly accommodations—or "bud and breakfasts," as they're called—and a few private clubs/galleries where one can partake for a membership fee. Loopr is a bus that cruises around Denver picking up and dropping off folks who smoke out on the way to their destination. But, for the most part, the idea seems to be that visitors should buy cannabis and then either step into an alternate dimension to consume it or throw it in the trash unopened. It's an issue that many cities, in their eagerness to embrace tourist tax dollars, have overlooked. Nevada's public use bill is dead for now, leaving no place for our many tourists to legally partake what they can legally buy and legally possess. We've learned a lot from other states, especially Colorado, but it looks like this is one lesson we've passed on, at least for now.

Find peace and Enjoy the Beauty of Spring at Wolgok History Park
Are you looking for a place to walk around, relax and enjoy the beauty of spring but don't want to go faraway? Visit Wolgok History Park, a park located near Wolchon Station on the Red Line of Daegu Subway. It's a small park yet a nice place to visit. It's pretty quiet which is good for relaxation. The bamboo forest trail from the main entrance leading to the museum and even the old Korean-style houses are a great background for a photo

The best time to visit Wolgok History Park is when pretty pink Donarium cherry blossoms located near the back gate are in full bloom.
|Walk through the tunnel of Donarium cherry blossoms at Wolgok History Park
Donarium cherry blossoms are locally known as "gyeop beotkkot" (layered cherry blossoms) due to its layered petals. Some people also call it "wang beotkkot" (king's cherry blossoms). However, the real "wang beot kkot" is slightly different from the Donarium cherry blossoms.

When the weather is nice, many people come to the park to take photos of and with the Donarium cherry blossoms. With their light pink tint, the donarium cherry blossoms look really pretty in photos. Even when it is raining they still look so pretty.
Aside from the Donarium cherry blossoms, the azaleas were also in full bloom. The scenery around the park looked really nice. The fresh green leaves of the trees and the bright colors of the flowers in bloom seemed more vibrant because of the rain.

Other things to see at the park are the Nakdong Seowon, Wolgok History Museum, and a seated statue of General Wolgok, Woo Bae-seon (월곡 우배선 장군), the general to whom the park was named after.

Though our little adventure to Wolgok History Park was short, I really enjoyed the beauty, freshness and quietness of the place. I will certainly re-visit this place when the weather is a lot better.

Climbing legends
Series of posts celebrating climbers of Ayers Rock.
#6 Arthur Groom the walker
These are his notes on the Climb, from I saw a strange land
Series of posts celebrating climbers of Ayers Rock.
#6 Arthur Groom the walker
Arthur Groome aged about 30. Photo Credit.Arthur Groome was a bushwalker, conservationist, photographer and nature writer. He was a founder of the National Parks Association of Queensland. He was known for his almost legendary ability to walk long distances, and his sense of humour. He had intended to walk the 550km from Tempe Downs to Ayers Rock and back alone but in the end was accompanied by Tiger Tjalkalyirri and two other Aboriginal guides for much of the journey.
Groome left Tempe Downs for Ayers Rock and the Olgas on 25 August 1947. The route was via Levi Range, Kings Canyon and the eastern end of Lake Amadeus. His party climbed the Rock on 4 September. He returned to Henbury Station via Mt Conner, Angus Downs and Mr Ormerod.
These are his notes on the Climb, from I saw a strange land
Various writers have described Ayers Rock as difficult of ascent, when in reality it is a trained mountaineer's job on the east-south-east corner, a rough and steep scramble up at least two places on its southern side, and nothing else but a strenuous and spectacular uphill walk on its western side.
On the northern side, the sheer cliffs and hollowed base prevent any reasonable attempt at ascent.
On the northern side, the sheer cliffs and hollowed base prevent any reasonable attempt at ascent.
We tackled the easy western route, called Tjinteritjinteringura (Willy Wagtail) by the natives. It is a bare rock ridge, not much steeper than a staircase, rising from a broad beginning to a narrowing ridge of sandstone, surfaced with the rough stucco pink common to the whole Rock. Tamalji soon gave his wild whoop and screaming laugh, and ran barefooted all over the place. His balance was amazing. Tiger grunted and groaned. 'Me getting old in legs,' he gasped; but he was determined. In desperation he turned to me. `You feel all right? You not feel like properly old man?' But I was feeling splendid, and raced after Tamalji, who had taken the steep climb in his teeth. Tamalji was defying all known laws of extreme exertion by gulping several mouthfuls of ice-cold water from each round rock-hole. The man had the energy of a demon, and still found breath to laugh in wild abandon.
Njunowa gasped his way up the rock for perhaps a hundred yards then flopped on the Rock and rolled out flat on his back and lay spread-eagled for our return. Mount Olga's many domes rose above the sea of sandhills; but there were other mountains beyond, a strange, encircling concourse of rocky silhouettes and distant shapes of the far Petermanns to westward, and the Musgrave Ranges in a chain of peak after peak to southward. Some of them had never been trodden by white men. Two days' travel to westward was the lonely grave of prospector Henry Lasseter, who died of dysentery and starvation on 30 January 1931; buried crudely by friendly natives of the Petermann Ranges, reburied by old Bob Buck, Central Australian wanderer, who now lives at Doctor's Stones in the eastern end of the James Range, south-west of Alice Springs. There was no trace of Lake Amadeus to the north. It was hidden in its salty hollow only six hundred feet above sea level.
The summit, crest, sides, ridges, ravines, shelves, and terraces of Ayers Rock are pitted with hundreds of the rounded rock-holes, capable of holding from a few to several thousand gallons of crystal-clear water from any light passing shower. The recent four inches of rain had filled every hole, until each pool overflowed to the next in a scintillating chain of flashing light.
Tamalji beat me to the top by a furlong. His time for the ascent was about thirty-five minutes. Tiger was still a dot turning the shoulder a quarter of a mile down. A small pile of broken sandstone has been placed on the summit, and the usual summit tin and bottle of names are there. I took out the pieces of parched and frayed paper. I have been on many a mountain summit, and seen many a cairn of stones and bottle filled with names; but none excited me more than those accounts of the past few who have travelled hundreds and in some instances, thousands of miles, to ascend Ayers Rock. In this lonely land it seemed to give the names written
in ink and pencil definite reality and personal presence. Goodness knows where they all are now; but here are the names:
7/3/1931. W. McKinnon.
19/2/1932. W. :McKinnon.
July, 1933. W. Fuller.
28/5/1936. H. N. Foy, Mrs Foy, Tom McFadden, Stan Tolhurst, Gus Schaller, Bill Morgan, Sydney Walker, Bob Buck, Denis Haycroft, Rupert Kathner, Kurt Johannsen, S. Mulladad.
Nov. 1939. V. Dumas, F. Clune, E. Bails.
7/8/1940. C. P. Mountford, J. E. Sheard.
14/8/1940. C. P. Mountford, J. E. Sheard.
30/6/1946. Lou A. Borgelt, Cliff Thompson, Tiger, Metingerie.
Tiger arrived and flopped straight into a pool to cool off. 'My legs get properly tight!' he grumbled, and thumped his cramped thighs. Tamalji run about too much like big euro!'

text: we've gone to the queens location of Build It Green a bunch of times but now there's one just a few blocks away. Not like we need anything but it's fun to cruise around. They basically take donations from people who are renovating their homes and also take leftover building materials (there's 2 entire kitchens for sale!). In the past we've bought doors and donated some basement windows that came in the wrong size. This one had a bunch more furniture and books and thrift store-type things (too much in my opinion) but i guess when you have a space this big you can welcome it all!

Don`t know if the title is right for the question at hand, but I`m not sure how to otherwise put it.
Here goes: both my sister and brother were born in Cyprus back in 1977-78 to non Cypriot parents, both were issued with Cypriot passports as babies and toddlers. The family left Cyprus around 1998. The passports were not renewed and have since been lost.
We have no recollection of passports numbers nor do we have their original birth certificates, the question is, can they renew their passport at all after so many years, and how should they go about it?
Hope you can help me clear thing up.

Eckstein, J. M. (2013). Parents' biased perceptions about media influence: Examining perceived effects on one's own child, other children, and other parents from violent TV ads and PSAs to stop cyberbullying. Dissertation Abstracts International Section A,73,
This study found within a large, demographically diverse sample of American parents evidence of a parental third-person effect and a parental first-person effect. This was regardless of whether the respondent was a mother or father. Parents' perceptions of influence seem to be a function of their perception of the child's likely exposure to the message. A belief that the child was predisposed toward physical aggression was important in producing influence judgments from violent TV ads. A belief that the child was predisposed toward the teasing behavior was more important than perceived exposure in producing influence judgments about the PSAs to stop cyber-bullying. Parents were willing to monitor their child's TV viewing and expand dissemination of the PSAs based on these influences biases. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved)

Dialogues II
A&C Black, May 16, 2006 - Philosophy - 136 pages
Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris VIII. He is a key figure in poststructuralism, and one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. In Dialogues II Deleuze examines his philosophical pluralism in a series of discussions with Claire Parnet. Conversational in tone, this is the most personable and accessible of all Deleuze's writings, in which he describes his own philosophical background, relationships and development, and some of the central themes of his work. This second edition includes a new essay, 'The Actual and the Virtual'. Translated by Hugh Tomlinson, Barbara Habberjam and Eliot Ross Albert. >

POSTED BY Coley Ward ON 1:16 pm, July 3, 2007 - POSTED IN News reel
Solomon Torres wants to be traded from the Pittsburgh Pirates. He says they lied to him when the two sides negotiated Torres' contract this spring. It's all very complicated, really. Torres says the Pirates renegged on a promise to invest in one of his Dominican baseball academies. The Pirates say they never promised anything. It's a mess.
But if there's one lesson that we can take away from Torres' story, it's this: Torres acted as his own agent when he negotiated his contract, and players should never, ever, act as their own agent.
Another player who has acted as his own agent is Curt Schilling, who asked the Red Sox for a $13 million contract extension at the beginning of the season. The team said no. Now Schill is on the DL with shoulder soreness he says reminds him of how felt right before his last major shoulder surgery. Will he get his $13 million? Don't hold your breath.
It's certainly noble that players are willing to cut out the middle man, to try and negotiate with teams in a straightforward fashion. But the MLB players union should tell rookies two things at their orientation: 1. Never walk into a courtroom without a lawyer and 2. Never negotiate a contract without an agent. These rules should never be broken.

I am so embracing this beautiful weather we've been having in D.C. Yesterday it was sunny and almost hit 70! Wheee! I love random warm spells in the middle of March. It makes me believe that summer isn't all that far away!
To celebrate I decided it would be a good day to do a quick tempo run. I wanted to push the pace, but not to the point where anything started hurting.
I was successful!
I did a 3.8 mile loop near my house and averaged 9:18 per mile. It was definitely a challenge at times to hold the pace, especially on the hills in the sun, but it was a fun challenge.
It's funny how in the winter with the cold and before my hip and knee issues, 9:18 was a pretty normal pace for me. Now 9:18 is pushing it and I feel comfortable on longer runs closer to 10 minutes per mile.
When I got home from running I was a starvin' marvin and continued to be for the rest of the day. About two hours after dinner my stomach was growling so badly that I had to eat a PBJ to hold me over until morning and now I'm starving again.
It's not like I ran that far or all that hard, but my poor stomach is begging for food. So I am off to feed it.
Does anyone else experience major hunger after tempo runs?

Summary of Administrative Assistant's and Secretary's Handbook
First Edition:1995
Pages: 528
Looking for the book?
We have the summary! Get the key insights in just 10 minutes.
9 Overall
The CEO may seem indispensable, but little changes on a day-to-day basis if he or she is on vacation. On the other hand, if the CEO's administrative assistant (AA) is out of the office, things can break down fast. The CEO may be the public face of the organization, but the AA (executive secretary, office administrator) is its internal heart and soul. When people need things fixed, from copy machines to schedule conflicts, from lost documents to lost opportunities, they turn to the AA, the all-purpose office expert, who must be knowledgeable, friendly and approachable, even if the CEO is above the fray. Executive secretaries are expected to be superb generalists, able to do a million things efficiently, on time and well. And just how is this possible? Well, look at this big, fat manual for AAs and secretaries. It covers everything, from the elementary to the complex, from telephone procedures to recordkeeping, databases, technology, correspondence and more. If you are an AA or hope to be, this is the ideal guide, with all you need to know in one handy volume. getAbstract recommends it to office administrators in every industry.
In this summary, you will learn
- Why the administrative assistant's (AA) role is crucial;
- What personal qualities and professional skills top secretarial positions demand;
- How to handle an AA's customary duties;
- How to prepare a perfect business letter; and
- How an AA can advance professionally.

The guidelines below will help you to resolve any disputes arising from locksmiths who render their services to you. According to Seattle Locksmith Pros it is important to ensure that such problems are solved at the earliest time possible. This is because most locksmiths also deal with security features of your home or office. It is therefore a good idea to ensure that you hire the right company right from the start. A little research on locksmith companies that offer excellent services is therefore very important. Ensure that you countercheck the address that the company gives online. This should enable you to identify the right company for you. Again be keen on how they answer the phone when you call. They should answer with the name of the company as well. If they answer as locksmiths only, then you should actually do a little bit more research on that company to ensure that it is genuine. Remember that from the regular updates you can also get info on companies that have been licensed to offer such services in your local area.
In fact according to professional locksmith review posted online at seattlelocksmithpros.net you will get additional info on how to hire a professional and experienced locksmith. If you do, then in fact you avoid any future problems with their service. That is why the first step to resolving any problems arising from locksmith service is to first identify a good locksmith company that will offer you the best service. This way you will avoid such problems in future. Again, as much as possible try and sort any issues arising from such services amicably. In case you disagree on the cost of service or the cost of materials used to repair the locks, then consult the company directly to resolve such issue. But if you hire a professional company, such cases will not arise.
