New Zealand First says news that foreign nationals are buying real estate to fast-track their visa applications makes it imperative for measures to be introduced to stop the practice and make housing more affordable for New Zealanders.
|Mr Jan Trotman, bigot of St Marys Bay.
Emerging evidence also shows that the Auckland property boom, which is forcing Kiwis out of the market, is being fed by Hong Kong and Chinese investors, and Australian retirement funds buying investment properties.What evidence? Produce it
Rt Hon Winston Peters says new policy is being developed to place restrictions on non-residents/non-citizens entering the New Zealand domestic housing market to fast track their visa applications.They could afford them if
"A lack of Government action has created a situation whereby rich people from big foreign economies are pumping up New Zealand property prices, making them too expensive from many Kiwis to afford.
"This must be stopped so first home buyers can enter a housing market which represents the domestic economy, not that of countries such as China, Hong Kong, and Australia."Ha ha ha. The housing market in China is more overheated than ours; as is Hong Kong. And Australia is pretty much as unaffordable as here.
We would be wealthier, and could afford housing, if deceased mother's estates weren't being pilfered by family members who hang around at the TAB looking for the next Pick 6.
Mr Peters says the Government doesn't even hold a register of domestic property owned by non-residents/non-citizens.I'm sorry, what was the problem again?
"That extent of the problem can't be exactly quantified but it is likely to be huge.
"It isn't helped by the Government's failure to have a published long-term immigration strategy.Aaahhh. Back to "immigration flows". It only took a few paragraphs to get there.
"This failure is acknowledged in correspondence from Immigration Minister Nathan Guy who also admits that immigration flows are likely to 'bring challenges of social cohesion'.
"A prime example of a lack of social cohesion is Auckland's property market which is being inflated by foreign nationals as part of their visa application process," says Mr Peters.It's bloody painful reading that. If the influx of migrants is creating housing demand, then there is one very simple solution: councils should release more land; and developers should be encouraged to build and build and build. You can't stop people coming to Auckland internally, or to an extent, externally. But you can, as a politician, work hard towards plentiful land supply.
But Winston is too lazy to go there; and there's limited votes in it really. It's more lucrative for him and his party to be bigots.

text: The windowpane oyster sports a shell so transparent and durable that some Indian and Philippine cities use the coverings as an affordable alternative to window glass. Yet windowpane oyster (Placuna placenta) shells are made up of 99% calcite, a usually brittle material, with a small amount of organic material. A team of researchers wondered how the shellfish's fingernail-thick armor could survive multiple blows while remaining transparent, a feat unmatched by humanmade materials. When forcefully jabbed with a diamond, the windowpane oyster shell resists shattering by dispersing 10 times more impact energy than raw calcite, the team reports online today in Nature Materials. Peeking at the shell's crystal structure using an electron microscope, the researchers discovered the oyster's secret. When stressed, the shell's crystal structure twists symmetrically, causing an atomic reorganization that forms a boundary quarantining any fractures that might form (pictured). This process, called deformation twinning, dissipates energy horizontally and allows the shell to survive multiple hits. Additionally, sheets of stretchy organic material between the layers of calcite prevent cracks from spreading vertically between layers. The researchers say their work provides a natural template for developing sturdy, transparent materials for windshields and even see-through military armor.

Guest Post: Sarah from Chalkboard Nails!
Hi everyone!! Another exciting and gorgeous guest for you! This time it's from the wonderful and amazing Sarah from Chalkboard Nails!
Hello! I'm so happy to be visiting on Kelly's beautiful blog!
This manicure began with a gorgeous Love and Beauty glitter polish that I picked up at Forever 21. It is a clear base polish with silver, black and red hex glitter. Black glitter is one of my favorite things in the world, so this polish called out to me! It doesn't have a proper name, though, as many of the Love and Beauty polishes don't, and this one is just known as "Red/Black."
I had to find a polish that would work as a nice base color for the glitter. I thought about white, I thought about a light creme gray… eventually I settled on Color Club Revvvolution because of it's textured appearance. Revvvolution is a faintly holo charcoal-colored polish, and one of my favorites to boot because it applies like a dream with great coverage. I applied two coats of that for good measure, though I could have gotten away with one.
Then I applied a good spattering of Red/Black (seriously… the worst name ever), which was pretty decent in terms of application for a glitter! I included a picture of the manicure at this "shiny" stage, but the real show is seeing the look MATTIFIED! I busted out the Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love, because it provides a super matte finish without the shrinkage that I have experienced with other matte topcoats.
Thank you for listening, and thanks to Kelly for having me stop by! I had a lot of fun deciding what to do for this post, and I hope you have enjoyed it! Matte glitter is great. It's a fact.
*DROOL* I seriously need more glitter in my life. This is stunning! Reminds me of koi fish swimming around... lol... is that weird??
Thank you so much Sarah for guest posting for me! I really appreciate it! And that layering combo is just beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing it with me :)
Thanks for reading and be sure to check out Sarah's blog, Chalkboard Nails, for more breathtaking mani's!

What Jamie Dimon's $2 Billion Dollar Fail Reveals About Our Banking...
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., the nation's largest bank, whose chief executive, Jamie Dimon, has lead Wall Street's war against regulation, announced Thursday it had lost $2 billion in trades over the past six weeks and could face an additional $1 billion of losses, due to excessively risky bets.
Ever since the start of the banking crisis in 2008, Dimon has been arguing that more government regulation of Wall Street is unnecessary. Since then, J.P. Morgan's lobbyists and lawyers have done everything in their power to eviscerate the Volcker rule ...
What just happened at J.P. Morgan – along with its leader's cavalier dismissal followed by lame reassurance – reveals how fragile and opaque the banking system continues to be, why Glass-Steagall must be resurrected, and why the Dallas Fed's recent recommendation that Wall Street's giant banks be broken up should be heeded.
Views: 242
That is why J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and chief executive, Jamie Dimon, should not be allowed to have access to savings and loan banks and have no say in how they are to be regulated. Every homeowner who holds a mortgage that is underwater needs to coalesce and seek your common interests. The middle class USA citizens needs to stand tall and firm on this issue, make a lot of noise if necessary, boycott, march, sit-in, and whatever it takes to make our government put limits on what can and cannot be done with this important banking system.
If some want to speculate and take risks, form another system of casino, speculative banking and let them have at it with no guarantees from taxpayer money. As long as their banks have guarantees, they do not take the risks, they dump the risk on taxpayers and get away with it.
Thanks I had heard something about JP Morgan and the banks failing. Maybe the bank system needs to be restructured and broken up.
There are many calling for radical change in the banking system. These include:
Joseph Stiglitz, Steve Keene, Ann Pettifor, Robert Reich, James Galbraith, Amartya Sen, Michael Hudson, and Antonio Damasio, just to get you started on seeing what others are saying.
Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET)
"The proposition is simple: Too-big-to-fail banks should be made smaller, and preferably small enough to fail without causing global panic. This idea had been gathering momentum since the fall of 2008 and, while the Brown-Kaufman amendment originated on the Democratic side, support was beginning to appear across the aisle."
~Simon Johnson
"Another financial crisis, a prolonged recession, or changing political ideologies could cause a re-examination of the status quo and lead to a decision to break up the big banks."
~ Roberta Karmel, a onetime Securities and Exchange Commissioner
"J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., the nation's largest bank, whose chief executive, Jamie Dimon, has lead Wall Street's war against regulation ... said, 'The bets were "poorly executed" and "poorly monitored," "a result of many errors," "sloppiness," and "bad judgment." But not to worry. "We will admit it, we will fix it and move on."
~ How J.P. Morgan Chase Has Made the Case for Breaking Up the Big Ban...
As long as banks are allowed to lend money that they don't actually have in their vaults (they create it "out of the inkwell"...which is what caused the bank failures of the 1930s), we are all in deep doo-doo. The only entity that should be allowed to create fiat money is the government itself.
I just finished re-reading Robert A. Heinlein's novel, For Us, the Living. It isn't much of a novel, it's more of a lecture disguised as fiction. It was his first, written in 1939, and never published until after his death, but it has some interesting economic ideas. Some seem way off base, but others will make you pause and think. (ONE bank...The Bank of the United States, owned and operated by and for We the People...sounds communistic, doesn't it? But why should Wall Street get to make the rules?) Of course the financial lobbyists would die before allowing any of his suggestions to be enacted.
People have been screaming about the rise in gasoline prices for months...there is NO shortage of gasoline or crude oil (although we should be weaning ourselves off that ASAP); it's all due to commodity speculators. Something needs to be done about that...maybe before people start building homemade Guillotines.
Enough is enough.
Les Leopold explains the J.P. Morgan debacle in easy to understand language in
Don't Look Now -- Banks Are Still Ruining America: 6 Harsh Lessons ...
He agrees with some recommendations Joan and sk8eycat made, about the necessity of breaking up too big banks.
Ruth, excellent article! They state,
"The truth is that there are no good banks and bad banks among the giants of finance. That's just a feel-good story that gives us false hope that individuals and individual institutions can fix a system that is rotten to the core."
INET just released its:
Best of Berlin by Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) Play All

Or if anyone can present a good argument against INET's ideas, please let me read it.
I absolutely love Sen. Bernie Sanders! (but I don't know if this video will play....)
I wanted to make sure that you saw Bernie's CNN interview with Wolf Blitzer this week talking about Wall Street and the need to break up the huge financial institutions that dominate our economy. Here's an excerpt:
Bernie believes that at a time when the six largest financial institutions have assets worth $9 trillion, which is the equivalent of two-thirds of the GDP of the United States, and when the top six banks provide half of the mortgages in America and over two-thirds of the credit cards, it is clearly time to break them up.
Adding insult to injury, Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JP Morgan Chase who recently presided over a $2 billion "goof," sits on the Board of the New York Federal Reserve, which is charged with regulating the banks. Bernie will be introducing legislation next week to end this "fox guarding the hen house" situation.
Just wanted to keep you up to date on Bernie's work taking on Wall Street.

6 September 2013 at 11.20am | Comment on this article
Royal Ballet Choreographic Affiliate Mayuri Boonham will present a new short work at Deloitte Ignite this weekend. The piece is influenced by Verdi's opera Otello and Hindu epic the Ramayana, one of the great works of ancient literature. The work, entitled Forsaken, will be performed alongside a selection of free pop-up performances inspired by Verdi and Wagner that are taking place in the Paul Hamlyn Hall during the opening weekend of the festival.
Mayuri, who is classically trained in Indian Bharatanatyam dancing, says: 'There are some fascinating parallels between the Shakespeare on which Otello is based and the Ramayana. The creative process is about finding synergies between two very different classical forms – it's so different that every artist has been way out of their creative comfort zone!'
The work is set to arrangements of three extracts from Verdi's opera ('Credo in un dio crudel', 'Era la notte, Cassio dormia', and 'Ave Maria'), and will feature a veena (a traditional Indian string instrument), played by two Indian classical musicians, Hari Sivanesan and Deepi Sivasanthiran.
Former Jette Parker Young Artists Dawid Kimberg and Anita Watson will perform alongside Royal Ballet dancers Yasmine Naghdi, Sander Blommaert and Nicol Edmonds.
Other performances over the opening weekend include an innovative take on Die Walküre by Gandini Juggling, 15-minute Rigoletto by comedy dance duo New Art Club and a potted version of Wagner's Ring Cycle by theatre artist Andrew Dawson. The weekend will also include percussion and singing workshops for families in the Clore Studio and an imaginative sound installation created by Elspeth Brookes, based on recordings of Verdi's famous 'Va pensiero' from around the world. Find out more about the weekend's events.
Deloitte Ignite 2013, which is curated by Stephen Fry and celebrates the bicentenary of musical greats Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Wagner, runs throughout September. Find out more about Deloitte Ignite 2013.

The amusement park company Six Flags sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Saturday, saying it needs to reorganize and shed $1.8 billion of debt.
Mark Shapiro, the New York-based company's chief executive officer, said the move won't affect the operation of its 20 theme parks in 11 states, Mexico and Canada.
Six Flags says it actually had a great year in 2008. It saw 25 million visitors and posted record revenues. But executives are trying to lighten a $2.4 billion debt load they say is unsustainable.
"I assure you that all planned improvements are on schedule at our parks and that our ambitious plans for 2010 and our 50th anniversary celebration in 2011 remain intact,'' Shapiro said in a letter to park staff.
Saturday's bankruptcy filing in Delaware came after an earlier plan to negotiate an out-of-court deal with creditors failed.
Six Flags shares have traded below $1 since September. They closed at 26 cents on Friday.

TESTING 1-2-3: What if the bizarre rap song you wrote for your boyfriend wound up worldwide?
Hello, World!
Mic in tracks, file sharing and accidental fame
By Gabe Meline
Why Is My Sister Such a Dumbass?" is the most compelling 46-second sound recording since the turn of the century, and yet its creator, an adolescent boy, is nowhere to be found. It's safe to assume he never intended a beautifully meandering ramble about his sister's underwear, her "lesbian school" and her "awkwardness in a world that is undescribable" to be heard by anyone but himself. But through a phenomenon known as "mic in tracks," his stream-of-consciousness diatribe has been heard, and loved, by thousands.
Mic in tracks represent a unique time, 1999 to 2002, when many new PCs came packaged with software called MusicMatch Jukebox, allowing a user to record into the built-in microphone on the computer's sound card. If that person forgot to name the file, as many did, it was saved under the default name "mic in track," followed by a number. But if that person also happened to share his entire audio hard drive through widespread file-sharing programs like Napster, that small mp3 made in the privacy of one's own room went out for the whole world to hear.
Naturally, in 2001, most Napster users were too busy downloading Eminem songs to care about anything labeled "Mic_in_track_033." But to a select group of enthusiasts, including Cal Poly physics lecturer David Dixon, mic in tracks represented an incredible treasure trove of found art, a readymade curation of audio vérité both fascinating and funny. Dixon began rabidly hunting down mic in track files on file-sharing sites, and each one, he says from his home in San Luis Obispo, was like a little Christmas presents.
"Once I started collecting them, I just couldn't stop," he says. "You have no idea what to expect when you download the file and start listening to it. Most of the time, it's nothing, it's literally nothing. Sometimes it's just people taping things off the radio. But every once in a while, you hear something like what I have on the site."
The tracks Dixon has collected are unbelievable (www.stark-effect.com). A barbershop quartet sings a doo-wop version of Juvenile's "Back That Ass Up." A child bangs kitchen utensils against a mixing bowl and defends Willie Nelson to the tune of the Police's "Every Breath You Take." Two girls try to hold it together singing a Christian pop song while a barking dog keeps interrupting.
"Hi, this is Miriam Halstead talking," announces a depressed-sounding teenage girl. "I like bunny rabbits. I like Satan. I like cheese and milk."
"Some of them are just really sweet, little slices of life," Dixon says. "It's like you're peeking in through someone's window." But it's more than voyeurism that makes Dixon's finds so compelling; they present an actual psychological projection, as every track drips with empathy, placing the listener right there in front of the creator's computer, to imagine all sorts of context. What happened, for example, to the relationship so poignantly eulogized in "I Love You Holly"? What compelled Casey and Liz to laugh uncontrollably while dedicating a Backstreet Boys song to Steve? Why are kids so into Insane Clown Posse?
Dixon, who once recorded plays he wrote with his friends on a reel-to-reel recorder growing up in Waukesha, Wis., was sufficiently fascinated, and started recording songs based on mic in track samples under his studio name, Stark Effect. Some followed themes, such as the "kids screwing around" genre of "Stop! I'm Watching TV!" while others, like "That Darn Bovine," sampled key phrases matched up to drumbeats, à la Steve Reich's Different Trains. After they became hits on a fan forum for experimental sampling group Negativland, Dixon continued with his wealth of source material (he's got a full GB of mic in tracks on his home computer) and made an album, Mic In Track, available for free download on his site, along with 87 original mic in tracks.

"I have been criticized online in a few places for invading people's privacy by putting these things up," he says. "And I admit that I kinda am. But some of these things just need to be shared. It is a little bit troubling sometimes, especially with stuff like '14,'" referring to a vile harangue that Dixon says he was hesitant to put up online before deciding that people needed to hear how ruthless and cruel kids can be, "but I think the goods outweigh the evils in this case."
Dixon has never found any of the creators of his mic in tracks, nor have any wannabe rappers or off-key singers come forward to claim their glory. They remain, like the boy behind "Why Is My Sister Such a Dumbass?," an accidental celebrity, a nameless cross-section of American life. Is his sister really a dumbass? We'll probably never know.

Another recent illustration for the Boston Globe-- this time for an article by a Masters in Music Composition postgraduate about his struggles finding jobs that relate to his major. Thanks again to AD Ryan Huddle!
He writes that the whole major was a sort of pyramid scheme: there was no music composition positions he could go into upon graduation other than teaching music composition to the next round of students. He also added that liberal arts majors might be better served in other more directly applicable fields like science, technology, and math.
The article was interesting to me, as a fellow liberal arts graduate (and teacher!). There's definite pros and cons to choosing a career you're passionate about, but that may not hold as much monetary promise as other careers. (though I have no regrets) However, as difficult as the illustration field can be, it seems like there's a lot more jobs in visual arts than music composition, so it's not quite the same situation.
Color test--I actually kinda like his figure here, I just realized:
Bonus-- I just looked up a photo of the writer, Adam Ragusea, and was delighted to find that my illustration actually appears pretty similar! I had no idea! I guess my imagined image of a music composition major fits pretty well with the real thing.

Apparently hit men are cheaper than divorces, because singer Tim Lambesis from thrash metal band As I Lay Dying allegedly opted for a contract kill instead of just splitting from his wife.
Lambesis was arrested for commissioning the murder of his wife from an undercover cop. (Bro, don't you know they're always cops?)
Christian — yes, seriously — metal vocalist Lambesis, 32, was supposedly determined to off his wife Meggan, who's also the mother of his three adopted kids. The New York Daily News reports that Lambesis was arrested for commissioning to commit a murder yesterday (May 7) in Oceanside, Calif. in a sting operation.
Meggan had served him with divorce papers in September 2012. Anyone who doubted her decision is probably now eating several heaping helpings of crow.
"The information came to us late last week," Jan Caldwell of the San Diego Police Department said of the murder plot. "We acted quickly on it. I believe we averted a great tragedy."
Lambesis will appear in court for his arraignment in the next couple days. Perhaps when he's behind bars he'll have time to learn that life is not a Tarantino movie full of secretive hit men.

These adorable pictures show a tiny lamb which has to wear sheep sunglasses to protect its eyes.
Three-week-old Flash suffers from uveitis, a painful condition which makes his right eye sore, red and ultra-sensitive to bright light.
Since being diagnosed at three days old, the little lamb has undergone a course of antibiotics and eye drops to reduce the inflammation.
But looking at the sun is still painful - so letting Flash out to graze during the day without eye protection is not an option.

Ask Others What Course You Are On
Have you ever looked back at a picture or video of yourself from five, ten or more years ago and asked yourself "What was I thinking back then?" Have you ever looked at something you did several years ago and asked yourself the same exact...Filed under Featured, Life Lessons 2 Comments

Job Market
The Dangers of Getting Jobs Through FriendsBy Harrison Barnes on Feb 03,2020
recent posts
When you are a commodity, you can be replaced on a whim and have no value beyond anyone else in the market. Do something that differentiates you from others. When you are unique, you are no longer someone whom employers can easily find on the open market and your value will increase. Establish yourself as irreplaceable due to your unique skills. Understand your employers' needs and desired direction in order to create value for them.
Giving access to a lot of information and providing a platform for research and analysis immensely helps people to make the right choices in life. You must offer people a strong platform through your work to help them make the best choices for themselves, and you yourself will ultimately benefit due to the good you do for the world.
Everything happens for a reason, and that reason might lie hidden underneath the surface. Understand the root cause of everything that is happening to you and around you. When you see the seed from which the tree has grown, you will discover exactly what you should do to improve your life and career.
Change is the most beneficial thing that can happen to you; starting from scratch gives you the opportunity rebuild your life and career in the manner you see fit. You must find where there is upward movement and opportunities are being created, and ensure that your own structures and ways of operating are effective and relevant to you. Orient your life towards happiness and growth in everything you do.
A powerful sense of self will make all the difference in your life. You must understand that your sense of yourself and your capabilities come from inside of you, not from the external forces that have brought you to your current place in life. What you feel internally might be completely different from what the world is telling you, and you must learn to focus on the former rather than the latter.
The past does not dictate the future, so you should not use inductive reasoning to make conclusions about your life or career. Recognize when you are making incorrect conclusions based on past events, and switch to deductive reasoning in which you are not limited by the past. You will find your conclusions to be much more accurate, and you will succeed as a result.
In order for you to be effective in your position and successfully obtain new ones, you must express gratitude, and appreciate both what you have achieved and what you are becoming. Believe in positive things. Your career has great potential and so do you, and only by realizing this can you perceive the world around you as supporting your belief system.
You need to provide people what they want, otherwise you will not have a job. Although they might not always be the most desirable kinds of jobs, certain jobs always exist because they provide services that people will always require. The only secret to continual employment is to provide a service that people always need; if you do this, and nothing else, you will always find yourself employed. Give people what they want.
The most successful people never slow down, and do not allow themselves to get too comfortable. Everyone works to achieve their goals, but failure comes when they decline the amount of effort they put forth after having achieved these goals. When people get too comfortable, they cease to put in the additional effort to progress further and consequently fail. People who succeed in the long-term constantly seek challenges, make room for further growth, and demonstrate their ability to take up further responsibility.
In this article Harrison discusses how people who stand for something always do better than those who do not. Companies who stand for something always do better than companies who do not. The most successful companies not only stand for something, but they are completely consistent with their core principles. This is what keeps them going and this is what makes them successful. One of the largest problems that people have in their careers is when they diverge from what they are good at. When you do not stand for something, you divert from your true strength. Everything begins to crumble and slowly fall apart when you are not doing something that you are really good at. The biggest success comes when you stand for something and are good at it.
In this article Harrison explains how you can ensure success in your career by externalizing your opponents. Your job is like a game; if you work hard, play by the rules of the company and are seen as part of the team you will be viewed as a valuable player for the company. The most significant part of any game is the presence of an opponent. Don't look for an opponent among your co-workers. Never speak negatively of your team members. Instead, concentrate on the external opponents. External opponents bring you and the team closer as you work towards a common goal. In order for you and your company to succeed it is important to have an external opponent. Harrison advises people to consistently work hard and not participate in the politics. This is a sure way to score big in your career.
Make sure that you are involved in groups that focus on positive things. Your success in life depends on your ability to focus on the outcomes you want, and the focus of the groups with which you associate will in turn shape your own focus. You must endeavor to always choose groups with a positive focus.
The best way to attain your goal is through small, incremental steps on which you can build. Establish a routine, and make sure you are consistently working towards some kind of goal. Start small, and always build upon what you have done before. Most people fail to achieve their goals because they believe everything should happen quickly and at the same time, instead of progressively building upon their past achievements.
When a company can no longer survive, all of its jobs disappear; a good manager's job, then, is to ensure the company's survival. As a good manager, you need to truly be on the side of the company and dedicated to its continuance; the more the company succeeds, the more you will grow along with it. Good managers care about what happens to their organization, but the best managers focus continually on the organization's progress and best interests.
You must seek to understand the different beliefs of the people around you. Everyone holds their own unique set of beliefs, and attempts to question or change them will only work to your peril. Therefore, you must seek out and work with people who share your beliefs. When people perceive you as having beliefs similar to their own, they will be much more likely to accept you and you will ultimately achieve more career success and happiness.
In this article Harrison discusses the importance of concentrating on your work and not getting distracted. The true value of the best executives comes from their ability to concentrate and get things done. If you can concentrate for a long period of time on a single issue, you will improve the quality of the work that you do. The qualitative aspects of your work are incredibly important because they end up determining your outcome. Good companies and employers value people who are organized and think through issues when they are working on something. You need to concentrate. You need to give everything you are doing your full attention. You need to work hard and be focused.
Repeat work is always more valuable to you than one-offs, however well-paid they may be. Companies succeed or fail depending on their ability to generate repeat business. Repeat work grants you more options and control over your life and actions. Even work with a lower salary, which might not initially seem appealing, can be beneficial if it promises repeat jobs.
Despite the obvious advantages, getting jobs through a friend or relative may ultimately harm you. When you do so, you risk lowering your colleagues' opinions of you, who may see your connections as evidence that you lack the skills to get your position on your own merits. Nonetheless, there are situations in which it is acceptable to take advantage of such connections, but you must be on your guard; make sure that the job you get is a good fit, and one in which you would perform well regardless of your connections.
Working with a recruiter can open more doors, and help you can jobs more effectively than if you were tracking down openings on your own. A poor recruiter, however, can leave you even worse off than you were on your own. Be very careful about the recruiter with whom your work, and try to find one that specializes in your niche or field.
In this article Harrison explains how long-term enjoyment of life requires that we delay gratification until a later time. The most successful people in the world show the ability to delay gratification. Failure is the result of not delaying gratification. Not facing problems is something related to our ability to delay gratification. One of the most important things we can do is to confront a problem early. Ignoring problems is a simple expression of the unwillingness to delay gratification. Our problems will not disappear. The problems that we need to confront are a barrier to our future growth. It is in your best interest to delay gratification. The people who delay gratification are found to experience the most success in their careers and lives.
Businesses who understand what their clients want, rather than what they presume their clients want, tend to perform much better than their competitors. You must view your service from your client's point of view. In a job search you must view your potential employers as customer. You must find out what is important to your employer or interviewer, and you will stand out in your job search.
You are rewarded in direct proportion to the value that you deliver, meaning that you have to deliver in order to reach your full potential. You will provide more value to others when you are focused on giving. People who under-deliver view their jobs as being primarily about them, while those who over-deliver see their jobs as being about others. Strive to develop a reputation for delivering rather than under-delivering.
Pursue your own dreams and become the person that you want to be, rather than what others might want. Living life according to the wishes of others is meaningless, and will bring you neither happiness nor success. Others do not understand your capabilities, goals, and interests as well as you do, hence their opinions should be your least concern. Have faith in your own potential greatness, and you will develop the confidence to act upon it and be the person that you really want to be, achieving true fulfillment.
If you want to rise to the top, you need to create as much value as possible. The message is also pretty simple: the more value you create, generally, the greater your fall will ultimately be when you stop creating value.
In this article Harrison discusses how resisting change and not taking necessary and relevant action can be the biggest obstacles to a better career and better life. Resistance is something that prevents most people from ever changing. Resisting change can be highly damaging to your growth in your career and life. Instead of allowing your life to be controlled by external circumstances, choose to take action and bring about a change. Conduct a brutal self analysis if needed, to clear the blocks you have in your mind and to bring about change that is necessary. Most people give up. They do not persist. You need strategies and beliefs that will allow you to persist and persevere, so that you can change. The best strategy is to be focused, and this focus will help you overcome the resistance you face whenever you make an effort to begin changing.
Knowing your product is crucial to your career and life. Just as you must have a clear sense of your own product, you must seek companies with a strong sense of their products. Random products, or lack of focus on the right product, can be disastrous for businesses and individuals alike. You must not only have a product, but a product that people want, so concentrate on your product and its effective delivery.
Bad people and influences surround you, and try to influence you to become like them. Do not be seduced by people who are beneath you, but instead people who are better than you and who will help you develop an awareness of your own strengths. Seek substance in your jobs, relationships, and free-time activities.
You must share information freely, and never hide information from anyone. When you give away all your ideas you create the need to replenish them, which opens the door to creativity and innovation. Furthermore, sharing your ideas with others give you access to more ideas. People who hoard information tend to have stale ideas because they only share or seek innovation when relevant, meaning that their own store of information stagnates.
Everything is the universe is connected, and nothing exists completely independently. Since all people are connected by their actions, you can accomplish nothing without others. Do not resist this universal law of interconnectedness, and avoid the unhappiness that comes from the belief that you are separate from others. Connection is a universal law, and one with which you need to act in accordance.
Employers sometimes ask in the course of an interview about other interview you may have had, and how you handle this question can determine your success. You must convince your current interviewing employer that their position is your first choice before divulging any information about other interviews, and be careful how you justify your other interview to your prospective employer. You must convince your current interviewing employer that you consider their position to be your best fit, and would most help you meet your career goals of upward mobility.
People with meaningful lives finish what they start; this says a lot about their character, and leaves a lasting impression on those around them. Completing the tasks you are assigned will make you the kind of person that companies retain year after year, and will help you better assess your capabilities. You must be accountable for finishing what you start, and you can do so by putting your mind to it. When you always finish what you start, you will find yourself performing at your absolute best.
Maintaining a routine in both life and work is important to success. Not only do you need to establish a routine, you must make that routine demanding and push yourself to the limit. Budget a certain amount of time each week for networking, applying to jobs, brushing up your interview skills, and following up with employers. Such consistent effort on a daily basis will make a huge difference to your career success.
One of the most important aspects of the people around you is their definition of the "norm"; norms of acceptable behavior exist everywhere. Your own definitions of normal and acceptable will determine your success in life, as will those of the groups with whom you interact. Develop an understanding of the norms for the many groups in your life.

Congratulations, Recording Industry Association of America, for prevailing in a court case that will do nothing to stop piracy and continue to turn the public against you.
The Supreme Court refused earlier this month to hear the case of Joel Tenenbaum (pictured), a former Boston University student with a Ph.D. in statistical physics, who was ordered to pay $675,000 for the crime of downloading 31 songs. If you end up bankrupting him, you'll get lots of publicity — but not the kind you're looking for.
I suggest you target your members' kids and see how many songs they and their classmates download. Wouldn't that make a great lawsuit?
Suing the kids who illegally download music is as stupid as suing the people who download content on Androids because Google "stole" Apple's patents. Apple isn't stupid. It's suing Google, not its own customers.
You can argue that Apple, too, is shooting itself in the foot and simply inviting scores of counter-suits, but at least its not hurting its own customer base.
So if you have to sue someone, sue the guys who profit by selling your songs illegally: the companies that maintain massive caches of "pirated" songs; the Internet companies that allow consumers to freely pass songs back and forth; even colleges like Boston University that allow Tenenbaum and thousands of other students to store and send songs on their high-speed networks.
That won't make much of a dent in the piracy problem, either. But beating up a penniless graduate student? C'mon, do you beat up your own kids?
The solution is the same as its been for over 10 years — if you'd just open your eyes. Give people access to anything, anywhere, anytime for a fixed monthly cost (See: cable networks, massive profits of). Give away free or reduced-price concert tickets, access to rock stars, whatever, to keep your fan base engaged. Continue to sell songs to people who want to own. Support free advertising-supported services like Spotify.
You can probably think of dozens more ideas. Get creative. Isn't that why they pay you the big bucks?
You'll end up with massively better profits than you did before those pesky MP3s showed up.
Or you can continue to go after consumers and win the lawsuits. In which case, congratulations won't be in order for you and your member companies before long. Think eulogies.

Firefighters Battle Fire Near Fish Ranch Exit Off Highway 24
Firefighters from the East Bay Regional Park District and four other state and local agencies battled a fire near the Fish Ranch Road exit off Highway 24 Tuesday afternoon, according to park district officials.
A spokesperson for the park district fire department said that the fire had been completely contained by 5:36 p.m. He said that there had been no damage to any property except for some grass and bush. Park district officials are investigating the cause of the fire.
East Bay Regional Park District spokesperson Shelly Lewis said the park district received a call from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection at 3:09 p.m. which reported that "there was a fire at Fish Ranch Road outside Sibley Park that burned into Sibley."
Shelly said that the fire had spread to 30 acres. Sibley Park was evacuated, but residences were not evacuated, she said.
Shelly said a total of five agencies—the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Moraga-Orinda Fire Department, Contra Costa Fire Department, Oakland Fire Department and the East Bay Regional Park District—had helped to douse the flames. About 30 to 50 firefighters were present at the scene.
Berkeley Fire Department Chief Gil Dong told the Planet that Berkeley firefighters had not been involved in efforts to control the fire because it had taken place outside their jurisdiction.
Dong said the fire had started in Moraga-Orinda. Eyewitnesses reported around 4 p.m. that Tunnel Road near Claremont was closed immediately after turning onto Alvarado, a route used by many UC Berkeley employees on their way back home.
Some afternoon commuters said traffic was a mess on upper Ashby Avenue because of the fire and reported seeing helicopters flying over the Oakland-Berkeley hills.

Although the photographs on Florida Memory are often discussed for their historic value, all exhibit some level of artistic direction and formal design elements.
A group of San Francisco-based photographers known as Group f/64 were renowned for their extreme focus and depth of field. Beginning in the late 1920s, Group f/64 formed as a sub-group of the West Coast Photographic Movement, a straight photography movement that worked against the prevailing pictorialist movement which attempted to mimic gestures of Romantic and Impressionist painting. The group included Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, John Paul Edwards, Sonya Noskowiak, Henry Swift, Willard Van Dyke, and Edward Weston.
Group f/64's name was derived from the extremely small aperture used in their large-format photography in photographing landscapes and close-up objects. The result is a severe, almost unnatural depth and crispness unattainable by the human eye or previous photography.
Their impact on photography became widespread by the 1930s and can be seen in many of the photographs in the Florida Photographic Collection. While the landscapes and objects have changed, the principles remain unchanged.
While the images shown here were not necessarily inspired directly by this group, they are suggestive of the f/64 aesthetic. These formalist, aesthetic, and stylistic approaches foster new and different ways to engage with the images.
Visit the Florida Photographic Collection and search for photos from your area.

Firecracker Roll-Up Cakes
WANT a festive grand finale for a patriotic party? Set out these spectacular sparklers. You're sure to draw "oohs" and "aahs" from the crowd. Simply follow our kitchen staff's directions to bake a jelly roll-style cake, cut it in two pieces and stand them on end. Them just spread on bright red, white and blue frosting and add gumdrop stars to turn the desserts into eye-catching firecrackers. With a luscious lemon filling, they're bound to delight taste buds, too!
Total TimePrep: 40 min. + chilling Bake: 10 min. + cooling
Makes8 servings
- 4 large eggs, separated, room temperature
- 1/3 cup plus 1/2 cup sugar, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1 to 2 tablespoons 2% milk
- Red and blue paste or gel food coloring
- 8 large red, white and blue gumdrops
- 5 pieces uncooked spaghetti
- Line a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan with waxed paper; grease the paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat egg yolks on high speed for 5 minutes or until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually beat in 1/3 cup sugar. Beat in extract. Sift flour and baking powder together twice; gradually add to yolk mixture and mix well (batter will be very thick).
- In a small bowl with clean beaters, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold into batter. Spread evenly into prepared pan.
- Bake at 375° for 10-15 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool for 5 minutes. Invert onto a kitchen towel dusted with confectioners' sugar. Gently peel off waxed paper. Roll up cake in the towel jelly-roll style, starting with a short side. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- For filling, in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, whisk the eggs, sugar, lemon juice and zest until blended. Add butter; cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a metal spoon. Transfer to a small bowl; cool for 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
- Unroll cake; spread filling over cake to within 1/2 inch of edges. Roll the cake up again. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.
- Using a serrated knife, cut cake roll into one 5-1/2-inch-long piece and one 3-3/4-inch-long piece. Trim off uncut ends of each cake roll. With a cut end down, place each cake roll on a serving plate.
- For frosting, beat cream cheese in a small bowl until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar, lemon extract and enough milk to achieve spreading consistency.
- Tint 1/3 cup of frosting red and 1/4 cup blue. Frost sides of the large firecracker white. Frost the small firecracker red, white and blue, creating a striped pattern.
- Flatten the gumdrops with a rolling pin. Using a 1-inch star cookie cutter, cut eight gumdrop stars. Arrange three stars on side of the large firecracker, press them gently into the frosting.
- Insert one end of each spaghetti piece into a remaining gumdrop star. Break off the opposite end of each piece to create different lengths. Insert spaghetti into tops of the firecrackers.
Finished size: Excluding the gumdrop star decorations, large cake is about 3 inches wide x 5-1/2 inches high and small cake is about 3 inches wide x 3-3/4 inches high.

Cooper once again out of action
Scott Merkin is a reporter for MLB.com. Read his blog, Merk's Works, and follow him on Twitter @scottmerkin.
CHICAGO -- Don Cooper, who previously missed 11 games due to vertigo, left Monday's games with the same issue and was not at U.S. Cellular Field on Tuesday. It doesn't seem likely that the White Sox pitching coach will be traveling with the team for four games this weekend in Seattle, followed by two games in San Francisco next week.
"He has a lot of information, so you always like him when he's here," said manager Robin Ventura of Cooper. "He's seen these guys from Spring Training on so just the feeling of having him here and working with the guys.
"But if he's not feeling well, you get a different feel. You feel bad for him. You think he's starting to feel better and he's not. It's our loss that he's not here."

"My friend down there, she was wondering: Are you alone?" -- random blonde to Don Draper
It was a somehow infuritatly quiet end to the season. Sorry to those who had Pete Campbell killing himself as a sure bet in your office pool. That didn't happen. Though he was punched again. Twice.
Still, there was a beauty in the understated season finale. Though I expected something a bit more major to happen (perhaps Don and Megan breaking up? Perhaps her revealing she's not really French or that she, in fact, really loves Howard Johnson), the finale did do one great thing: set up next season in a really ambiguous way.
The episode was evenly split between Don Draper and Pete Campbell, so let's start with Don. Because he's Don Draper.
Don spent must of the episode in pain. Not because of Lane's suicide but because of a toothache (it was weird seeing the office move on as if nothing happened -- but this episode was set near Easter time, a few months after Lane called it quits).
For some reason, Megan's mom, Marie is there, being all French-Canadian and whatnot. Megan is sad. She can't get a gig! She's unfulfilled! Same stuff we've been dealing with the entire season.
Megan didn't get the part in a play (more acting classes for you!) and she's also dealing with some annoying calls where the person just breathes on the other line. For a awhile I thought it was Glen (cause he's creepy), but turns out it's Roger, looking for another Marie hook-up. It happens eventually, clearly, because he's Roger.
We see Don in the office, grimacing in pain and also seeing visions of his dead half-brother Adam (who, reminder, killed himself after Don rejected his efforts to be a part of his life). It's not surprising to see Don focusing on Adam, who hanged himself like Lane, but it was also seriously creepy.
Don deals with some mundane office business -- money's rolling in and Joan is organizing an expansion in the building. Did you notice how formal Don was with Joan? Looks like he's still not happy with her Jaugar-prostitute decision.
Joan informs him that the company got a $175,000 life insurance claim because of Lane's death (which is probably $34 million in 2012 dollars)*correction: I was kidding with that $34 million figures, but got an email from a financial services portfolio manager who says that, in fact, $175,000 in 1967 would be $660,000 now) and says that Lane set up $50,000 in collateral to protect themselves if the Lucky Strike deal with kaput.
Don later takes the $50,000 check to Lane's wife, who is super bitter and found the picture of Dolores in Lane's wallet.
"Yes, I hope you feel better," Mrs. Pryce says to Don when taking the check. Ouch.
"You had no right to fill a man like that with ambition," she eventually tells him
True, but Don's got a "hot tooth" to think about so he sort of blows off the whole thing.
Meanwhile, Megan is depressed with her life. She feels like a failure -- apparently French-Canadians have quarter-life crises as well. She wants a fulfilling social life and professional life and doesn't want to be the little wife at home. Megan's mom tells her daughter that she's "chasing a phantom," which is sad, 1967-style.
Earlier, Megan's friend urged her to ask Don if she could audition for a part in a commercial. So Megan, ambitious as always, decides to tell her husband that, in fact, she's perfect for the part. No mention of the friend. You gotta do what you gotta do Megan.
Don flat-out tells her he can't do it for her. Even though he can.
Don finally gets his tooth checked out, and he's cut under gas for an extraction. More Adam Whitman visions!
"Don't go. Don't leave me," Don says to Adam.
"Don't worry. I'll hang around. Get it?" he says. Just a little suicide humor, folks.
Eventually, Don let's Megan audition for the commercial. In the most powerful scene, Don sits alone watching his wife's screen test. Megan is gorgeous, but something's off. She forces a smile. She looks lonely. Don smiles at first, seeing his wife up there, but then notices that she's painfully unhappy.
Still, Megan gets the role (and must wear a ridiculous outfit). He walks away from the set, heads to the bar and orders an old-fashioned (of course), where he's approached by a blond asking for a light for her cigarette.
"Are you alone?" she asks " for a friend.
It cuts to black before we get an answer, but we see Don's face. And he's interested. He's torn, but interested.
P.S. One of the best scenes with Don was him running into Peggy at the movie theater (don't worry -- no Peggy Olson movie theater funny business). She tells him that she's happy (even though she's stressed) and that she's working on a lady cigarette account that Don wanted.
Is Peggy really gone? Let's hope not.
And now for Pete. And yes, Beth Dawes is involved (you thought Pete's affair was over?)
Pete spots Howard and Beth Dawes on his commuter train and she awkwardly blows him off. Later, he gets a call from Beth, telling him to meet her at the same hotel he wanted to meet her at a few episodes back.
"I'll be under the name Mrs. Campbell. This could be your last chance," she says cryptically.
Turns out that by "last chance," she means "last chance to have sex with me before I undergo shock therapy treatment (um, yeah, really random).
Turns out Beth is "blue." Pete pushes back the sympathy to have sex with sad Beth and then asks, "Don't tell me you're not happy now. Don't tell me you're not better."
As if sex with Pete Campbell is the cure to depression. Maybe it is. But I doubt it.
"I should go," Beth says.
"Why?" Pete responds.
"Because it works," Beth says.
Later, Beth undergoes the shock therapy treatment and Pete visits her the hospital, posing as her "brother." In what is definitely the saddest hospital visit ever, Beth doesn't recognize him as Pete relays how much in love with her he is and that it's the biggest issue in his life and how sad he is at home with his wife.
"He needed to feel that ... he knew something," Pete says, telling his story as if he's talking about someone else. "That all this aging was worth something."
Beth says that the hospital can help with that situation and that's that. Pete's out the door.
He goes home and Trudy shows him a mock-up of the pool that she wants to install.
"I don't know, Trudy. It's awfully permanent," Pete says, in what is perhaps the worst response to a wife wanting a pool.
Pete eventually confronts a drug Howard on the train about his treatment of Beth and they get into a brawl (Pete gets punched again!). Howard is dragged off the train, but after the guy taking tickets urges Pete to apologize, Pete refuses and he's punched (again!) by the train conducter.
When Trudy sees a battered and bruised husband come home, all she can say is that they're looking for a apartment for him in Manhattan "first thing in the morning." In what is perhaps the most clueless moment ever by wife on TV, she apparently buys his excuse that he "drove into a ditch."
Seriously, did you expect Pete and Trudy to last this long.
The final montage scene was epic. Not only did we see Peggy spotting two dogs mating, we see Roger Sterling's bare butt as he preens in front of the window.
Again, one of the final scenes of Season 5 is of Roger's bare butt. Should hold you over until next year, right?

Ah yes, the chicken bus. Aptly-named for the high number of chickens that utilize its services, whether in a cage, with a string tied around their legs or simply held tightly by their caretakers. Chicken buses (or camionetas, at least here in Guatemala) are the primary form of inter-city transport throughout Central America.
Generally obsessed with public transportation both as a hobby and a necessity (Kiva Fellows really get around), I decided to write a follow-up to the post I published during my last Fellowship about public transportation in Santo Domingo. While I dearly miss the carros publicos and guaguas of Santo Domingo, the adventure that is tomar una camioneta is unparalleled. And while those of you who have spent time traveling in Central America know exactly what I'm talking about, now would be a good opportunity for the rest of you to prepare yourselves to be blown away.
There it is, our beloved camioneta chugging through Quetzaltenango (Xela) from the bus terminal. Look familiar? Ding ding ding, you got it, it's a retired US school bus! But looks can be deceiving – renovations are extensive and don't stop at the sexy decorations you see here. No chicken bus would be worth a Quetzal (Q7.83 = US$1) if it didn't have a turbo engine installed. And although it's hard to see at first glance, this bus has actually been shortened significantly from what you rode in the third grade. Why go through the trouble to shorten it and thus lower its capacity? Well, sit in the back row of a chicken bus while it's taking a sharp turn on a mountain road at 50 mph and you'll know exactly why.
But let's take a closer look at that picture:
Notice that each camioneta is unique? Although the decorations appear to be simply for looks, after some time riding chicken buses you realize that they are actually decorated by route. For example, without seeing the sign I know that the blue and white bus that says "Xelaju" is heading to Coatepeque via San Juan Ostuncalco, San Martin and Colomba. Since most chicken buses merely say "School Bus" in the back, this knowledge is really useful when you find yourself running after the last bus of the day. But not to be outdone, of course, are the old school (literally) chicken buses, which stay truer to their roots:
But enough of the outside, let's check out the inside of a chicken bus!
As you can see, the buses are decked out with baggage racks and handles for standing passengers to steady themselves. But as the caption implies, this photo makes chicken buses look like first-class luxury transportation. Let's take a look at something a bit more realistic:
There's a lot going on in this picture so let's examine it piece by piece. First off, the most commanding element we see here is the vendor. If I remember clearly, this guy was selling face lotion, and he gave a really good pitch considering the fact that it was face lotion he was selling on an extremely hot, uncomfortable bus. I suppose in the end, whether or not we liked it, the audience was indeed "captive," and the guy actually sold quite a bit of lotion. Secondly, take a look at the upturned hand maneuver both by the lady in front of me and the gentleman in front of her. This is a necessary measure when you are the third person squeezing into a seat that's made for two children – without the upturned hand the third person ends up in the walkway. Yes, that's right, you thought three-to-a-seat was uncomfortable when you were ten years old; trust me, it's much more uncomfortable when you're all adults. And it's the norm on chicken buses. Another element of this photo I'd like to point out will require closer examination:
Don't worry about the bus schedule; it's not followed. What I want to point out is the sign that says, "With God I left, if I don't return I went with Him. Only God knows if I'll return." While I appreciate blessings as much as the next guy, this sounds to me more like a disclaimer. I am a relatively religious man, and I do believe that God has the final say in our fates, but I also believe that when on a bus the driver has a much more direct, tangible say in my fate. Frankly, I'd appreciate a bit more ownership of his performance on his part. Just my two cents.
And as you probably could have expected, unlike the buses we rode as children these have two entrances/exits:
Very resourceful. My only question is whether or not the the roof emergency exit will be used as a third exit once those newer buses make it down to Guatemala.
So there you have it folks, public (mostly inter-city) transportation in Guatemala in a nutshell. I hope this blog gave you some insight, but I also strongly encourage you to make an effort to visit Central America and ride a chicken bus. Every ride is a new adventure and they're still exciting all the way up until your third ride!

Scientists want to answer many questions. Do marine reserves really protect sharks? Will different land management strategies help predators, prey, and people live more harmoniously together? How do volcanoes impact climate change?
Some of these scientists also require lots of people power to collect the data they need. That's where Earthwatch comes in.
Here's a step-by-step look at how we turn a scientist's research questions into an exciting, educational, and safe travel opportunity for people like you.
Earthwatch begins its search for new expeditions at the beginning of each year. The scientist first submits a Concept Note—we get between 75 and 100 annually. The Earthwatch Research Department then invites up to 30 scientists to send us a detailed proposal and complete a phone interview. The proposals then go through peer review, so we know we're only supporting sound and important research. In all of our projects, we look for compelling research that addresses critical ecological and cultural challenges related to environmental sustainability.
Of course, we also consider other factors: Is the area where the scientist works safe for travelers? Will the general public be interested in this research, and can they make a strong contribution? Will they enjoy traveling to this particular corner of the world? Once we've considered all the angles, we select new expeditions we want to develop for the coming year.
From the office, our risk managers do a thorough analysis of all the hazards present at the expedition site. They take everything into consideration—from transportation hazards to diseases to wild animals to weather conditions.
Then, before we send participants like you (a.k.a. "citizen scientists") on an expedition, we send ourselves. A safety expert from Earthwatch visits the site to ensure everything is up to our high standards, trains the staff that will be working with volunteers, and develops a plan for handling unexpected emergencies. To find out more, read "Safety in Science," a firsthand account from one of our safety mavens on our blog, Earthwatch Unlocked.
We set dates that fit with the timing of the research—for example, you can only observe migrating gray whales on the Pacific Coast during the winter. Some projects can run at any time of the year, and we like to schedule these for the summer, when more people have the time to travel.
To set a price for an expedition, we consider much more than housing and food. We also factor in the cost of research equipment, permits, staff, and offsetting the carbon from volunteer travel to the site. We call the fee participants pay to join an expedition a contribution, because it is actually considered a charitable donation. For a more detailed look on expedition pricing, see a breakdown of our costs on our Facts and Figures.
Finally, the moment arrives—the first expedition team begins! The volunteers have packed their gear and hit the road, and so has another Earthwatch staffer. This person's job is possibly the most fun one at Earthwatch: he or she is on hand during the first team in case any hitches arise, but essentially just works like any other volunteer, soaking up the science and the cultural experiences and only providing guidance where necessary. One staff member reported on her first-team adventure on Earthwatch Unlocked in "Are You Cut Out to Be an Earthwatcher?" From there, teams continue to head into the field to help with the research all season long.
The work of deciding what research should be an expedition never really ends. Each year, we review our portfolio of projects to make sure that they still align with our mission and provide volunteers with a meaningful and exciting experience. Scientists also have the chance to think about their Earthwatch support. They may have completed their particular project or moved on to a stage of research where they no longer need help from volunteers.
By constantly evaluating our expeditions, we make sure that our volunteers have the best experience possible and that, together, we keep answering the most critical questions about our planet's future.
We begin our search for new expeditions every year.
A safety expert visits the site to ensure our high standards are met.
Each year, all of our expeditions go through an extensive review process.

Fancy joining Reg hack on quid-a-day challenge?
Recruiting now for charity starvation diet
Last year, I rather recklessly signed my self up for the Live Below the Line quid-a-day nosh challenge, which involves surviving for five days on £1 per day for food.
Here are my supplies at the beginning of the week...
My Live Below the Line 2013 supplies
...which kicked off with fried egg sarnies, involved some light foraging, imminent colonal mass ejection and a final crawl to the finish line as local bar owners feared for their livelihoods.
In the end, the experience proved entertaining and enlightening, and I managed to raise a good wedge of cash for my chosen charity Malaria No More UK, thanks to the generous support of friends, family and, of course, our beloved Reg readers.
Indeed, some of you were inspired to say you'd sign up for 2014, and here's your chance, because I'm recruiting for a the "El Reg Quid-A-Day Nosh Posse", in the hope we can join forces, earn even more wonga for charity, and provide greater entertainment for less (fool)hardy readers.
The challenge runs from Monday 28 April to Friday 2 May. If you do fancy giving it a pop, join the team at the above link, and then drop me a line here and we'll do lunch have a chat about how you plan to tackle the test.
If surviving for five days on boiled rice and cups of tea is not your, er, cup of tea, then why not show your solidarity with a donation? Again, follow the link above and flash the plastic.
Thanks in anticipation for your support, and I look forward once again to reporting from the meagre larder of hunger. ®

Barons grind out 3-2 shootout win over San Antonio
The Oklahoma City Barons came back from a 2-0 deficit to beat the San Antonio Rampage 3-2 in a shootout Friday evening at the Cox Convention Center.
Olivier Roy stopped 32 of 34 shots for the Barons. Oklahoma City improved to 16-10-1-3 on the season, while the Rampage fell to 11-17-0-4.
The two teams played a scoreless first period, with each team going 0-for-1 on the power play, with penalties to Oklahoma City's Anton Lander for interference and San Antonio's Alex Petrovic for hooking. Shots were 14 to 13 in favor of the Barons in the opening frame.
In the second period, the Barons had an early opportunity to get on the board on a 2-on-1 with Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle, but Rampage goaltender Jacob Markstrom was able to get all the way across the crease to make the save.
Shortly after Markstrom's strong save, San Antonio scored the first goal of the contest. Casey Wellman converted a 3-on-1 break at the 1:44 mark of the period Jon Rheault and Quinton Howden picked up assists. San Antonio extended their lead to 2-0 with 8:37 left in the second period on a rebound goal from Jared Gomes from Jonathan Hazen and Mike Motteau.
Oklahoma City got on the board in the waning seconds of the second period with a power-play goal. Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle combined to work the puck on front of Markstrom. After the Rampage net-minder stopped the initial shot, Teemu Hartikainen was able to chip in the rebound with under a second to play.
The Barons opened the third period with solid scoring chances, but Markstrom was standing tall in the net for San Antonio. Following those scoring chances, the Barons did tie the game at two. Taylor Hall used some deft stickwork to put a shot toward Markstrom. The puck bounded into the air and went in off of a charging Mark Arcobello. Officials reviewed the goal, but the original call was upheld and the score was tied 2-2.
Oklahoma City had an opportunity to win the game in regulation when Rampage forward Eric Selleck was assessed a double minor for high sticking at 15:36. Near the expiration of the first minor, Rampage defenseman Colby Robak was whistled for slashing. The Barons had several opportunities on the ensuing 5-on-3, but were unable to convert.
Early in the overtime, San Antonio had their own power-play opportunity when Mark Arcobello was whistled for tripping. Barons goaltender Olivier Roy stood tall for the Barons and kept the game tied 2-2.
In the shootout, Roy stopped four of five shooters, while the Barons converted on two of their four chances.
Oklahoma City next plays on New Year's Eve, Dec. 31 against the Texas Stars at 6 p.m. The first 2,000 adults and 1,000 kids will receive a free Barons practice jersey. Doors open at 5 p.m.

The team behind Zahav has just opened the country's first hummusiya — a restaurant dedicated to hummus.
"There's Hebrew on the walls, it's designed like Tel Aviv feels — it's like walking in off of a Philadelphia street and finding yourself in Israel!"
That was the verdict rendered by a dining companion who lived in Israel for eight years, during which time he was known to consume copious quantities of hummus at iconic eateries that specialize in hummus, known as hummusiyot, like Abu Hassan in Jaffa. He was marveling at the interior of Dizengoff, the hummusiya from the duo behind Zahav, which opened at 1625 Sansom Street on Aug. 11, in the recently constructed mixed-use Sansom development.
Make that "officially opened." The 25-seat restaurant, which serves nothing but hummus and its accoutrements, soft-opened on Aug. 8, which is when people first began walking through Dizengoff's roll-up garage-door entrance. With old posters and handbills advertising long-ago concerts in Hebrew on one wall, a glass mosaic of alternating earth tones on another wall and communal picnic tables where diners can scoop up warm hummus to the beat of a classic rock soundtrack, it's easy to feel transported to another time and place.
That assessment is music to Steve Cook's ears. Cook, the 41-year-old co-owner, along with his partner/chef, Michael Solomonov, said the design is supposed to evoke a 1970s feel, right down to the DIY turntable with milk crates full of vinyl in one corner of the dining room. The duo had talked about doing a hummusiya for years, he added, basically ever since they realized that Zahav, their Society Hill restaurant acclaimed for putting Israeli cuisine on the map in the United States, would be successful months after its 2008 launch.
"We have been talking about doing it for a long time, but it got sidetracked by a couple things like a short attention span, getting tied up in other projects" — the pair's company, Cook+Solo, also owns Percy Street Barbecue on South Street and the wildly successful Federal Donuts locations around the city — "and worrying about what kind of impact it would have on Zahav," which has developed a reputation for having the finest hummus in Philadelphia.
[[{"fid":"31963″,"view_mode":"default","fields":{"format":"default","field_image_caption[und][0][value]":"","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":""},"type":"media","tagName":"IMG","src":"https://jewishexponent.com/sites/default/files/Aphillyate-566×150-NEW_4.gif","attributes":{"height":150,"width":566,"class":"media-element file-default"}}]]
Each bowl of hummus comes with house-baked pita, slightly smoky from a quick char, Israeli pickles and two housemade salatim — right now, small bowls of roasted cauliflower with walnut tarator (a tehina-based sauce) and local zucchini mixed with roasted cherry tomatoes, pomegranate molasses and sesame seeds.
As befits a crew already renowned for their hummus, the offerings at Dizengoff are exemplars of pureed legumes, even at this early date, and it is hard to conceive of someone finishing everything and still feeling hungry. For Cook, a member of the historic synagogue B'nai Abraham in Society Hill, the trick is educating a dining public virtually unaware that hummus can be something other than a topping or part of a Middle Eastern combo platter.
"This is a thing in Israel that nobody here really knows about," he said, a statement underscored by the fact that Dizengoff appears to be the first true hummusiya to open in the United States.
Of course, that learning curve is helped immeasurably by all of the media attention that a new venture by Cook and Solomonov generates. That coverage has taken on an added dimension for the opening of Dizengoff, thanks to a remarkably candid interview Solomonov gave to Frank Bruni in the Aug. 10 issue of The New York Times. In it, the 35-year-old Israeli-American chef revealed that he is a recovering crack addict and explained that he felt the need to come clean about his struggles before the opening of Dizengoff and its sister establishment, Abe Fisher. The latter is a larger restaurant focusing on foods of the Diaspora that will share the same non-kosher kitchen and is slated to open in September.
Solomonov's admission gives new perspective to the duo's high-profile support of Broad Street Ministry's Hospitality Collaborative. They launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to help fund Rooster Soup, which will sell chicken soup made from the backs of the chickens used at Federal Donuts, with the profits going to the ministry, which provides a variety of social services, including drug counseling.
Cook, who learned about Solomonov's addiction several years ago, when Zahav was just getting off the ground, said he "was fine" about the Times article but was clearly reluctant to discuss it further. He said that while his partner's substance abuse didn't spur them to get involved with the nonprofit, he did say that Solomonov's admission "opened my eyes to things around me more than before. So in the broad sense, maybe it did" influence their decision vis-à-vis Broad Street.
With so much going on, it's no surprise that Cook brushes off any talk of launching Dizengoff into the increasingly competitive field of fast-casual franchising. But he doesn't rule it out in the future.
"I read an interview with Danny Meyer" — the New York restaurateur behind some of the country's best restaurants and the ubiquitous Shake Shack chain — "where he said that the best way to open a successful replicable model is to never think of it like that. Right now, we just need to make this one work."
One aspect of the Dizengoff dining experience that will be difficult to replicate is the dessert option. While they offer free Bazooka bubble gum, if you want something more substantial, you can choose from a wider array on display at the Federal Donuts across the street.

Stephen Colbert isn't afraid of billy goats anymore – not after the Chicago Cubs' wild card win on Wednesday.
In fact, the "Late Show" host, who lived in Chicago for 11 years, is so inspired by the Cubs, he went on a rant against goats Thursday night, even going as far as kicking one out of his studio.
"I'm not scared of you knuckle-kneed sheep wannabees anymore," he said. "Oh, that feels good. So many things I've wanted to say about your kind for years, but I've been too afraid because of the curse. Not anymore."
Chicago Baseball
He then went on to insult goat cheese and soul patch beards.
"What are you going to do about it goats? Curse the Cubs again? I dare you," he said. "The Cubs are unstoppable."
The infamous Billy Goat curse dates back to Oct. 6, 1945, when Billy Goat Tavern owner Billy Sianis claimed to place a curse on the Cubs to prevent them from ever hosting another World Series at Wrigley Field.
But as far as Colbert is concerned, the curse is gone.
"Now it looks like the days of the curse are behind my Cubs," he said. "I think I can safely say without any fear of jinxing it they're going all the way. The Cubs are going to win the World Series."
He even made a 2015 Cubs World Series Championship T-shirt, featuring a goat.
But when one four-legged member of the audience didn't cheer on his beloved team, Colbert decided to kick it out.
"There is no possible way this decision can come back to haunt me, or the Cubs. After all the Cubs are clearly the greatest of all time (G.O.A.T.)," he said.
He then led the audience in a G.O.A.T. chant.
Whether Colbert's daring messages will ring true this season remains to be seen. The Chicago Cubs begin their battle against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium Friday for the National League Division Series.
