Whether you are a recent graduate or have many years of work experience, your resume can be the doorway to a more fulfilling career. When a recruiter looks at your resume and decides whether to invite you for an interview, the "first appearances" rule applies. You only have a few seconds to make a good impression and set yourself apart from other candidates. Following the guidelines in this brochure will make it easier to write your resume and succeed in gaining an interview. Sample Resumes are best way to get a proper help to build your resumes. For example if you want to build a resume for fresh engineer then you can get full help from sample engineer resumes
Why write a resume?
The point of writing a resume is to get you an interview. Once there, you have the opportunity to sell yourself and get the job. However, without the right resume to open the door, you may never get the chance.
Be aware that within the first seven to ten seconds of reading your resume, the person screening applicants must be convinced that you merit further consideration. In that short window, they need to find and review a summary of your education, skills, accomplishments and experience!
Basic rules for a successful resume
Certain general rules apply, no matter your level of experience or the job opportunity for which you apply.
1. Be brief
If you have one to five years' experience, one page is sufficient. One or two pages are appropriate for a candidate with more than five years' experience. If you are mailing or faxing your resume, never go beyond two pages. If you are submitting your resume via an Internet application form or to a large employer with an automated applicant tracking system, you can submit a slightly longer or shorter resume, as it will not appear in a specific 8.5″ x 11″ format to the reviewer.
2. Use standard resume structure
List jobs and education in chronological order with the most recent first. When listing specific tasks or accomplishments within a job summary, use bullet points whenever possible. Make it easy for the reader to follow the format.
3. Presentation is critical
If you're mailing your resume or giving one out at your interview, it should be on white or off¬white paper. Type in an easy¬to¬read font such as Times Roman, Arial or Helvetica, and in an easy¬to¬read size (depending on the font, between 10 and 12 point). Don't make the mistake of using attention¬getting colored paper, artistic borders or pictures. Don't cram in too much information. White space can be very effective as well as making it easier for the reader to absorb content.
If you're emailing your resume as a Word document, or cutting and pasting it into an Internet job form, keep the format simple. Avoid using tables in your resume. Complicated indents, tabs and other formatting may get lost in translation to a different version of the software or job form and your information may be garbled or deleted.
New graduates and candidates with less than five years' experience
Your resume should consist of one page. The following guidelines have been specifically developed to help people with limited experience meet the criteria important to the hiring decision.
Center your name, address, telephone number(s) and email address at the top of the page. Indicate whether the telephone numbers are home, work or cell phone. Only list your work number if it is appropriate for a prospective employer to call you at your current job.
Although "Objective" is a standard resume section, be careful! Objectives that qualify you for one position can immediately disqualify you for another. Always review the objective on your resume against the requirements of a specific job opportunity and change it if necessary.
An objective is a statement that expresses the intended career path in your field(s) of interest. Your objective needs to be specific. State a positive, such as: "To secure a position as an analytical chemist in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry," or "Participate in the start¬up of a new hospital unit and contribute positively to its success." Don't waste the space on generalities such as "To find employment with a dynamic company that will utilize my professional skills and experience." Every job seeker has this objective and it's meaningless to a potential employer.
Early in your career, you should always put your education before your work experience because it tells the prospective employer more about your current qualifications. List your education in reverse chronological order including: degree, major, school and year. Add honors and awards you have won and relevant courses, projects or activities that are applicable to your stated career path.
Employment History Professional
List dates (month/year), title, company and location for each job held, If you are a member of a professional association, list it, along with beginning with the most recent. Give a one¬sentence summary about any committee position you hold with the association or awards you the company if it's not an immediately recognizable name such as have won from the association.
"$1 billon pharmaceutical R&D company."
Briefly summarize duties and accomplishments in each position held.
Use action words to define activities and responsibilities. For example: Do not list references on your resume. The simple line: "References Achieved, Designed, Generated, Launched, Supervised and Budgeted. available upon request" is appropriate, but optional. When asked to submit references, do so on a separate sheet of paper and make sure Group all jobs unrelated to your field(s) of interest, full or part¬time, that you check with the people you name first. This is important because:

Additional Skills understand or readily accept that.
This is the section in which you can place skills and abilities that aren't immediately obvious by your degree(s) or positions held, such as familiarity with software programs, photography or knowledge of foreign languages.
Example of a resume for a recent graduate or person with less than five years' experience
The previous section headings, as well as headings that follow in the next section, cover the majority of information that is essential to a well¬structured, complete resume. It may be appropriate, based on your specific background and experience, to include one or more of the following sections:
. • Honors
. • Awards
. • Activities
A resume update is only necessary once a year, or when you change jobs. When you reach the three to five year plateau, a radical change should be made to more clearly define your qualifications.
Build Your Resume in Following Format
Contact Information
A balanced heading at the top of your Resume includes your formal name, address, phone number(s), and email address if you have one. Your name always comes first—centered at the top of your Resume. Be sure to include a phone number where you can be reached or where a message can be left. Make it easy for prospective employers to contact you. Undergraduate students may include both their campus address (left margin) and permanent address (right margin).
A clear, concise statement expressing your intended career path in your field(s) of interest.
An optional, succinct, one-sentence statement that describes a functional specialty or specific job interest. Avoid any temptation to make it long-winded. If you are extremely targeted in your career objectives, you may include an objective; we, however, recommend that you omit it in the Resume and instead articulate your objective in a well-written cover letter. The Resume format we recommend at the WCRC does not include an objective; omitting it gives you the greatest flexibility when your Resume is referred to prospective employers.
Degree, major, school, year, honors, awards won, and any additional courses, projects or activities that are applicable to your stated career path.
Indicate your degree(s), major(s), and—if the subject area relates to your career objective—your areas of concentration. Identify specific courses that pertain to your job objective. State any marketable skills (i.e., computer expertise, foreign language fluency, etc.) Use three to five lines for each educational experience, more if the information is notable; no paragraph, however, should exceed four to six lines.
Unless you already have had significant full-time work experience in an area related to your job objective, the education section will probably be the most important part of your Resume. This often holds true for undergraduates, for whom activities during your education ma y constitute the most significant part of your experience. If so, use this section to beef up your Resume with any meaningful content.
Restrict narrative comments to achievement-oriented phrases beginning with action words. Include activities that highlight your initiative, leadership qualities, competitive drive, or work with a team. Mention significant honors, awards, selections, scholarships, or offices held.
If you are a graduating BSBA, you will probably want to include a brief statement about your high school achievements. This reinforces the pattern of accomplishment in your Washington University experience. If space is limited, omit high school achievements and emphasize your most recent activities and accomplishments.
Employment History
All employment listed in reverse chronological order showing dates, titles, company and location. Group all jobs held during your school years and group all internships.
Additional Skills
Additional skills including knowledge of computer hardware/software, languages, etc.
Any professional associations you belong to or have won awards from, including any volunteer work.
Other Data
In this section of your Resume, display information that doesn't fit into any other category. This section, however, should include no more than a few lines. The key word here is relevancy: Do not include extraneous information that does not clearly contribute to your work ability for your current career goals. Language fluency, interests, computer knowledge, and social and civic activities, if pertinent, can be grouped in this section. Under interests and activities, for example, you might mention apt social or civic activities, volunteerism, or sports activities that demonstrate qualities such as leadership, teamwork, responsibility and initiative. Under computer skills—if using computers is a necessary skill for the job you are seeking—highlight the software programs you know. If you have a particularly strong background in any category, you may wish to put that information under a separate category with its own heading (e.g., computer skills, interests, activities, language fluency, etc.) Employers don't need to know your weight, height, marital status, health, or any other personal information.
"References available upon request" on your resume; names and contact numbers on a separate sheet if required.

Ask Geoffrey Gallante what he wants to be when he grows up and you'll hear him count, in a whisper, from 9 to 18. Then he'll aptly remind you he is only 9 years old, which leaves him nine more years to make his final decision, but Geoffrey will ultimately reply, "Either a Major League Baseball player or a professional musician."
Baseball is the fourth grader's favorite sport, and perhaps with practice, he could make it to the majors. But Geoffrey is already making extraordinary progress towards his other option.
Geoffrey started playing the trumpet only five years ago, at age 4, but he's already being described as a "prodigy" and he's been invited to showcase his talents as a guest soloist numerous times. Geoffrey's impressive résumé already includes 14 National Anthem performances at professional sports venues, appearances on "The Early Show," "The Tonight Show" and the "Today" show and performing at the White House and the Kennedy Center, all in addition to performing with countless notable bands and musicians.
Now Geoffrey has yet another gig to add to his already impressive list. Geoffrey will be this year's featured guest soloist at the 15th annual Red Cedar Festival of Community Bands.
The all-day festival takes place this Saturday, Feb. 27, and is hosted by the Meridian Community Band. The non-profit organization invites other adult community bands from the Great Lakes region to perform at the festival. This year, 12 bands are scheduled to perform — five of which are from the Lansing area.
Every year the Meridian Community Band invites a guest soloist to join its performance. Carolyn Sherrill, the band's musical director, saw a YouTube video of Geoffrey last summer, and after seeing him perform in Chicago, she offered him the spot.
Geoffrey was 4 when he first saw a trumpet sitting at his grandmother's house. "To be really, really, really exact it was two, three days before Thanksgiving 2004," Geoffrey said. To him, the trumpet just looked "like a big piece of metal," but Geoffrey's interest quickly grew and he started playing the instrument all around his house.
After seeking advice from a dentist to make sure the instrument wouldn't damage the young boy's teeth, Geoffrey's parents enrolled him in lessons.
With only a little more than five years under his belt, Geoffrey has become a trumpet phenom. "Many people think it's a Godgiven gift, and I think so, too," he said.
But even a God-given gift needs nurturing. Geoffrey practices between two and two-and-a-half hours a day. When asked if he enjoys all the practice, he wryly answers, "Who likes to practice?" But he added he knows it's important if he wants to continue to perform and grow as a musician.
Beyond his musical talent, Geoffrey is an average elementary school student. He likes to skateboard, play basketball and baseball and used to like soccer — until a ball to the face knocked out his teeth, an essential component for a trumpet player.
He says his friends and classmates do know about his talent but don't make a big deal about it: "You know, they aren't like 'You're so cool!'"
Geoffrey will perform four pieces with the Meridian Community Band.
"It took quite a while to determine the literature," Sherrill said. She worked with Geoffrey and his parents to choose songs from Geoffrey's repertoire that the band could play as well.
Geoffrey said one piece he will perform at the festival, "Trumpeter's Lullaby," has given him trouble. The song's trumpet part covers a wide range and requires a lot of endurance, which the 9-year-old admits, for him, is the hardest part of playing the instrument. But he is confident he can perform the song and said doing so will help make him a better musician.
While the festival is open to the public, it is largely seen as a chance for the bands to be critiqued by their peers.
Each band will perform a 40-minute public concert that will be judged by two out of four master musicians. After each performance, one judge meets with the band for 30 minutes and provides an educational clinic based on the feedback from the two critics.
The clinics highlight areas in which the bands can improve or tighten up.
In addition to the individual band clinics, four hour-long classes will be offered for free for all who are interested. Course topics are picked by the teacher but usually cover a specific aspect of each instrument, such as reeds or technique.
A flute course will be held at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., an oboe course at 11:15 a.m., a bassoon course at 12:30 p.m. and a clarinet course at 3:15 p.m.

Not one to let physical and economic reality get in the way of a good one-liner, Newt Gingrich recently remarked that the United States could "open up enough oil fields in the next year that the price of oil worldwide would collapse." But as Sharon Astyk reports on Casaubon's Book, it can take years to develop such resources. And, as demonstrated by the hurdles that have tripped up the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, getting far-flung crude to the right refineries can be a logistical nightmare. Sharon says that most of the interred oil "won't be economically viable to extract or move," and would probably end up in China anyway. Meanwhile, on Class M, new research shows "that the global climate may not be as sensitive to rising atmospheric CO2 levels as everyone has assumed." In fact, the median rate of temperature increase may be about 20% less. James Hrynyshyn writes, "the lower estimate implies we have one or two more decades than previously thought to play with before hitting the 2 °C mark, which is where most estimates say the bad stuff kicks in." Also on Class M, James reports that Canada will withdraw from the Kyoto protocol, which despite increased emissions from the U.S. "will meet its modest goals."

Archive policy of the journal
The journal intellectica has opted for an embargo of two years on original articles. Beyond two years, the articles (editor's post-print version) may be freely distributed from the intellectica site or any other site. In the end, all the archives of the journal will be available on the open archives platform Persée. This plateform built thanks to the french ministery of "Enseignement supérieur et recherche" is devoted to host scientifc journal of social humanities published in french applying open access.
In order to be informed on the editorial policy of the journal concerning open archives, it is also possible to visit either the national platform Héloïse, or the international platform Sherpa/Romeo.
By submitting your article, you accept this editorial policy as regards open access.
Manuscript Submission
Submission of articles or thematic issues (in Word or rtf format), preferably in an electronic version, have to be addressed to the Chief Editor, Alain Mille (email@example.com).
Each article submitted (together with summaries in English and in French) is examined by at least two reviewers, from different disciplines. The journal gives priority to work carried out or presented in an interdisciplinary perspective. Articles whose content or form restrict the audience to a small circle of specialists are given lower priority.
Manuscript preparation
Papers should be written in French or, failing that, in English (for non French-speaking authors).
Your paper should include
- a summary in French and in English
- the title translation
- a list of Key Words also in French and in English
- Specify the professional affiliation and the complete address (including an electronic address) of each co-author of the submitted article.
The structure of the paper should be indicated by sub-titles. Subtitles at the first level are in small bold capitals ; second-level subtitles in bold small case ; and third-level subtitles in plain italics. Do not exceed three levels (e.g. III - 2.2). Avoid an excessive number of paragraphs and line-spaces between paragraphs. Footnotes should be numbered consecutively and be placed at the bottom of the corresponding page.
Figures should be numbered and have legends; the figures should also be communicated in an electronic version (format .jpg or .bmp), and they should not exceed 13×21 cm.
Use only Times New Roman and Symbol type. In the body of the text, bold and underlined characters are not allowed, and should be replaced by italics. Avoid words entirely in capital letters.
Punctuation should be carefully checked (with unbreakable spaces where appropriate, and inverted commas in the French typography : « and »). Reminder : in French typography exclamation marks and question marks, colons and semi-colons are separated by an unbreakable space from the preceding word. Distinguish short hyphens (inside words and expressions), from long — hyphens with spaces which separate the members of a phrase. Authors submitting articles in English should follow the conventions of the English typography.
References to books and papers are presented in the text thus : (Cassirer, 1927) ; and quotations in the body of the text thus : (Godor, 1985, p. 183). If there are two authors : (Méchin & Chosal, 1967) ; for more than two : (Méchin et al., 1999). If several references follow each other : (Méchin, 1892a ; Chosal & Truck, 1965).

Modifications requested by the reviewers and the Editorial Committee are the responsibility of the author. The final text should be sent as an attached document in an electronic message addressed to the Chief Editor.
To co-ordinate a special issue
To propose a special issue, the procedure is to submit to the Editorial Committe a one-page project which presents the theme of the special issue, and which will serve as the basic mandate for authors, and also for the press communiqué at the time of publication. The proposition should be accompanied by an indicative summary, taking care to diversify the viewpoints and disciplines. After discussion with the Editorial Committee, the person in charge of the special issue will have a definite agenda for solliciting and receiving the specific contributions of individual authors.
To submit an essay
In order to reflect current research and scientific debates, Intellectica can also publish, as a complement to thematic special issues, short texts which shed light on aspects or intellectual positions in relation with the theme of the special issue, and which the Editorial Committee considers as relevant and interesting. These texts are reviewed by the Editorial Committee alone (although the editorial committee reserves the right to call on external opinions if necessary).
To submit a reply
In order to permit exchanges between authors lasting beyond a single issue, intellectica has a special section "Replies" which allows for articles related to previous issues. For the authors, the procedure is the same as for submitted articles (see above).
To submit a review
Intellectica has a special section "Reviews" which allows for the publication of texts which present, analyse or comment other documents (books, articles, etc...). The evaluation of these reviews is carried out solely by the Editorial Committee, and so it does not involve recourse to external referees.
To submit an article in open submission
intellectica regularly publishes articles not included in the special issues concerning various questions specific to the domain of cognitive science. Only complete articles (see the instructions above) are submitted to the evaluation process. The author(s) may propose external referees. For the authors, the procedure is the same as for submitting an article (cf above).

Published August 30, 2017
On Wednesday, August 9, the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering (CSEE) held its 8th annual Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Symposium. Students who participated in the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded program gave presentations and discussed posters highlighting their summer research.
The REU is a 10-week-long opportunity for undergraduate students to conduct research similar to what is almost exclusively done by graduate students. Participants apply to the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded program and conduct research related to the site's theme: Environmental Engineering Solutions for Pollution Prevention.
This was the 2nd year assistant professor John D. Atkinson, a CSEE faculty member and the REU site's principal investigator, led the REU initiative. "Every year, the student group is different, and this year's cohort was committed to high-quality research. All participants will attend professional conferences or submit peer-reviewed papers based on their short, but dense, experience working with UB faculty. They're all enthusiastic to contribute to the field of pollution prevention," he says.
Over 150 students across the country applied to work at UB this past summer. "Every year, and this is our 8th, we strive to recruit a diverse student cohort, in every sense of the word. We want participants to benefit from, and value, the opportunity to engage peers who are different from themselves. It improves the experience and the research." says Atkinson.
Eight students and one high school teacher worked with eight faculty mentors from different departments throughout the University. Mentors include Atkinson and assistant professors Nirupam Aich, Lauren Sassoubre, and Zhenduo Zhu from CSEE; professor Richelle Allen-King (Geology); assistant professor Haiqing Ling (Chemical and Biological Engineering); associate professor Christopher Lowry (Geology); and professor D. Scott Mackay (Geography).
"Because of the REU, I'm definitely thinking about going to graduate school, or doing a PhD program," says Paul Entwistle, an undergraduate from Rowen University, "I think this encouraged me to go down that route because I had a positive experience, and I can see myself doing it in the future."
Jennifer Soonthornrangsan, an undergraduate student from a private college in New York State, had a similar experience, and applied to the REU program to engage in research opportunities she does not have at her university. "This is my first research experience, it was really eye-opening. My school is small. We don't have the facilities to conduct big research like this."
One UB student, Kaitlyn Alcazaren, participated in the REU program (although she was not funded by the REU supplement). Alcazaren worked with Sassoubre on a research project entitled The Effect of Quicklime on Antimicrobial Resistance in Dairy Manure.
While most program participants were undergraduates from other colleges and universities, Christopher Riley was the exception. Riley teaches oceanography and Advanced Placement (AP) environmental science at Lancaster High School, located in Western New York. The REU program supported a local high school teacher this year because of supplemental funding provided by the NSF Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) program.
Riley is a UB alumnus and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Studies. Research has been a passion of his for a number of years. He worked on research projects for organizations including Buffalo State College's Great Lakes Center (GLC) and the Erie County Health Department.
"I've been very fortunate my whole life. Opportunities seem to just come to me," Riley says. After college he did environmental work for AmeriCorps, a national service organization, in West Seneca, NY (just outside of Buffalo). Shortly after his time with AmeriCorps, Riley went to Buffalo State College to earn a NYS Teaching Certification, and found another opportunity researching stream insect communities, work he incorporated into a master's degree in environmental research and education. After finishing his degree, Riley worked with the GLC at Buffalo State College. The GLC is an institute of researchers and educators at Buffalo State who are dedicated to studying the ecology of the Great Lakes.
"I had an opportunity to participate in a project with the Erie county Health Department, while I was with the GLC. They were looking for contaminants at our local beaches," Riley says. He worked on this project for about two years, until he had an opportunity to teach at Lancaster High School. Riley began his teaching career, but kept in touch with some of the people he worked with on the Health Department project. Five years into teaching, the Health Department asked Riley to help in another research project. He did research for the department during summers over the next four years. One of Riley's coworkers from Lancaster, John Pleban, joined him on the project. Pleban eventually left teaching to earn a PhD at UB, but the two stayed in touch.
"He contacted me and said 'there's this NSF opportunity for teachers.' I was interested. He said it was going to be plant research with this new device called the MultispeQ, and I had never done plant research before. I was interested in learning new methodology and tools and topics," Riley says, "what I was excited about was being able to take that back to my students."
Riley's project focused on the use of the MultispeQ. The device is used primarily to measure the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants. Using the device and the accompanying application (for an android phone, laptop or other device), Riley compared three different types of plants' photosynthesis under similar light conditions in UB's greenhouse. "First, you create a series of questions you want to answer. Then, when you take a measurement, clip the device on a leaf. In about 15 seconds it takes a variety of measurements. Temperature, air pressure, it has a light sensor on the top to measure how much light is available for this leaf to take and create sugars during photosynthesis. A tremendous amount of data is collected as a series of LEDs of different wavelengths are quickly pulsed measuring how much of the light is reflected, absorbed and transmitted," he says.
Lancaster High School has a greenhouse attached to Riley's classroom. Riley plans to grow plants under a variety of conditions and teach the students how to use the MultispeQ, so they can later use the device effectively when they set up their own projects.
"What they would do is come up with their own project. They'll look at different conditions the plants will be growing in and measuring efficiency in photosynthesis, which is a fundamental measure of plant health."
Riley's students were one of his main reasons for becoming part of this program. In 2016, just 46% of students worldwide received college credit from the AP environmental science exam. In 2017, 87% of Riley's students received credit for the exam. "Making class more enriching for my students, I think requires me to keep up with new technologies," he says. "I'm trying to improve college readiness for our students. Developing relationships with college professors will help me identify what skills students need to be successful in college."
Riley will be back at UB for the Spring 2018 Orientation to present his project, and provide incoming students with a firsthand experience of the REU program.
"This was a dense 10 weeks for the student participants, and for Chris," Atkinson says, "They were in the field doing research, in labs all night, collaborating to make posters, and reviewing each other's talks. They participated in communication and creativity trainings. We completed a community service project with the Allentown Neighborhood Association in Buffalo. After this summer, they're going to want to get some sleep, ASAP."

Dominique Germann, freshman, Modesto Junior College
I love dressing up! This year, I am going to be the evil stepmother queen from "Snow White."
Gabriella Germann, sophomore, Central Valley High School
I am definitely going to dress up for Halloween; I look forward to it all year, but haven't yet decided what I'm going to be. It's a close call between Mary Poppins, Alice from "Alice in Wonderland," or a Native American with my little cousins.
Carolyn Stevens, senior, Whitmore Charter High School
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I usually do dress up for it. However, this year, I will be spending Oct. 31 on a plane to the country of Albania, so I will be dressing up as a tired traveler. I did get a chance to dress up for my school's costume dance, though – I was Dr. River Song from the TV show "Doctor Who."
Shelby Sutter, junior, Enochs High School
Of course! And I will be a flapper!
Taylor Menezes, senior, Central Catholic High School
Coming from a private school with a mandatory uniform, dressing up for Halloween is kind of a big deal at CC. Everyone goes all out every year; and this year I haven't decided if I want to be an old person, or a hobo. I'm leaning toward hobo, though.
This question is answered by members of Teens in the Newsroom,

Halloween Costume
Russian Grand Duchess Court Dress
|Submitted By:
|Girls, Any Age
|Time Required:
|A VERY Long time
|Very Difficult
|Materials Required:
|Lots of White/Cream Satin, Pink Velvet, Fake pearls and flowers, Gold thread, Construction Paper, Measuring Tape
|Pieces/Sizes: Four Long pieces of Satin (normally 10cm wide and the child's arm with an extra 10 cm long) for sleeves. Two child's T-Shirt-sized pieces of satin for bodice. Bell-Shaped Skirt is six pieces of satin in an almost triangular shape. Divide your child's waist size by six for the top of these, Measure how long you with the skirt to be for the sides and the underwidth of the skirt divided by six for the bottom. Measure the pink velvet at 4cm for the top and bottom and the child's size from her neck to the bottom of the skirt. Leave the rest.
Step One: Make sure everything is well cut out, according to size. Sew the sleeves together, leaving open the holes.
Step Two: Sew the bodice. Leave the left side unsewn. Try and get a zipper for that. Try it on. Does it look right?
Step Three: Sew the right sleeve on the bodice sleeve hole. Make sure it's sewn TIGHT. Try the bodice on. How does it look?
Step Four: Sew zipper on the left side. Zip it up and down a few times. Try on the bodice again. Does it fit?
Step Five: Sew the other sleeve the same way as step three. Now the bodice should be complete. We can add the pearls later.
Step Six. Now the skirt. Use the instructions WAY above, remembering to try on the skirt several times, making sure it looks right.
Step Seven: This is the hard part. Find an object that is your waist size and attach the bodice and the skirt to it, waist to waist. Sew them together, checking it several times. Almost done now!
Step Eight: Sew on the pink velvet down the middle of the dress. Use the flowers or leftover pearls to add some decoration to the panel. So close now!!
Step Nine: Cover the top of the bodice with the pearls. If any leftover, try along the bottom. Sew some loose end and voila! A Grand Duchess Court Gown.
|The arm holes are you child's arm width, cut into a circle. Do this on only ONE of the two pieces on each sleeve. This is my attempt at copying Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna's Court Dress


text: Might as well start it now. Here's my first question to get things going. I hope that the online part of brawl won't be a play-only-with-your-registered-Wii-friends deal. That would suck. I sure hope it's more along the lines of a "random" matchup, hopefully based on skill somewhat. What do you guys think?

Here at Progress we have noticed that the temperatures outside are rising and the sun is out making it an ideal time for a round of golf with good friends.
It's frustrating when you want to get back on the course if you have an achy back, pulled muscle or painful condition like arthritis. You know it may need to be treated or need a medical opinion, but you just never seem to get round to it.
Golf is a game which is now more popular than ever. It is played by a wide variety of the population with varying size, shape, age, fitness and health of players. As a result, when injuries in golf occur, these can potentially aggravate a pre-existing condition such as osteoarthritis or chronic overuse injuries. The majority of golf injuries are associated with a lack of core control, limitations in flexibility or imperfections in the swing, all that twisting and bending can lead to back pain, or even injury.
Being in good physical condition is an important factor to becoming a great golfer. Being out on the green usually means standing on your feet long periods of time and having to walk far distances. A golfer in good physical shape will have the stamina to play a full golf game.
It is never too late or too early to improve your strength and flexibility!

text: Hello to everyone!!! I hope your thanks giving day was the best ever. So, I just got my iPad yesterday, taking advantage of the $60off of the price on the 32gb- 3G at the apple store. I think there were more iPads sold than turkeys yesterday. Anyway, after getting a couple of accessories for my Ipad I decide to get the 2gb for $25 AT&T deal, right? On a scale from 1-10 it's been working a 8 maybe 9 I would say. Now, the problem is that I don't know how much i'used already and/or how to keep track of how much I've used. I know that this might be a frequent asked question, and I did the research on the first 5 pages of this part of the forum but I didn't find anything. Ok, thanks everybody and have a nice weekend.

Courtney Peldon Plastic Surgery Before and After
Courtney Peldon, a D list Hollywood starlet who shows up at events badly dressed (she's even been pronounced 'Queen of Fug' by one popular website), also appears to have started dabbling in personal 'enhancements' at a young age. In her early teens, she possesed a quite bulbous beak that seemed to have shrunk at the onset of her twenties. (Note what also appears to be an unfortunate tip implant at the end of her nose.)Later, it would take on a new shape that left odd dents at either side of her bridge. See the progression below:
Courtney's most recent enhancement looks like an augmented chest
area. It looks like she's gone from a small B cup to a full D which is
too large and, most of all, noticeable on her frame. Going simply to
the next size up would have been wiser and, best of all, almost
imperceptible. But for some girls, porn star boobs seem the only way.

Having been made a Dame in 1988, she is one of only 65 people in the UK to receive the Companion of Honour.
It is recognition of her contribution to drama in an acclaimed 47-year career covering stage, screen and TV work.
Best known at the box office for her role as 'M' in the James Bond movies since 1995's Goldeneye, she received nominations for four Academy Awards in five years.
She won the best supporting actress Oscar for Shakespeare in Love in 1999, despite appearing on screen as Queen Elizabeth I for a mere eight minutes.
She was also nominated for Academy Awards playing Queen Victoria in Mrs Brown the previous year and for her performance as cranky villager Armande Voizin in Chocolat in 2001.
Her most recent Oscar nomination came in 2002 for her portrayal of author Iris Murdoch's battle with Alzheimer's in Iris.
Dame Judi's other popular films include Tea with Mussolini and A Room with a View.
She famously does not like to watch herself on screen and is modest about her talents.
Acting background
"I don't know how you assess acting," she once said. "It is so much about personality."
Dame Judi was born into a family with acting connections in York in 1934.
Dame Judi followed her elder brother to study at London's Central School of Speech and Drama.
She made her stage debut playing Ophelia in the Old Vic production of Hamlet in Liverpool in 1957.
Since then she has played all the leading female Shakespearean roles, as well as those of Ibsen, Chekhov, Wilde and Coward.
Notable stage performances include her role as Sally Bowles in the 1967 premiere of Cabaret in London's West End.
Dame Judi won two Olivier awards simultaneously for Absolute Hell and A Little Night Music in 1996.
She also has five Bafta awards, including two for best actress.
Dame Judi is one of the few actresses to be revered in Hollywood as well as on the British stage.
Miramax producer Harvey Weinstein once said that he would have Judi Dench in every one of his films if he could.
She has also appeared in popular TV shows, like the sitcom As Time Goes By with Geoffrey Palmer.
Royal links
She married actor Michael Williams in 1971. The couple worked together many times, most memorably in the popular 80s TV sitcom A Fine Romance.
The couple have one daughter, actress Finty Williams.
In an enduring romance, Dame Judi called her husband "my great Irish splodge", while he sent her a red rose every Friday throughout their 30-year marriage.
Tragically, Williams died in January 2001, with Dame Judi and his daughter by his side, after a long struggle with lung cancer.
She appeared opposite friend Kevin Spacey in The Shipping News in 2001 and made films including The Importance of Being Earnest, the Bond film Die Another Day and most recently, Ladies in Lavender.
In a tribute to popularity, she was asked by the families of the 77 British families who lost loved ones in the September 11 attacks to read at the memorial service at Westminster Abbey.
Like the public, her colleagues are full of admiration. Kate Winslet said: "I would work with Judi if I had to be a tea lady hovering in the back of frame."

For those of you looking for a way to help your kids understand the roots of the game.... Terry Cashman's song "Talkin' Baseball" is a good start. Cashman sings about baseball in the 50's - 80's focusing on three main players... Willie, Mickey and The Duke. These there of course were the dominate centerfielders of their era and captivated NY and CA fans for decades. Here is a tribute to the song which might serve as a a good start to help your young ballplayer learn about some of the early stars of the game...
A tribute to Terry Cashman's great American baseball song... Talkin' Baseball. One of the greatest baseball songs ever written, it captures the feeling of the pre-PED era of baseball.. when things were a bit simplier and the love of the game really meant something. This video tribute was created to pay homage to his song while helping younger fans learn about some of the players highlighed in it's verses. Every baseball fan should know who Willie, Mickey and The Duke were... if they don't I hope this video helps them learn about these three great ball players.

As you know, must recipes include the addition of milk. Some even suggest water. Red Velvet calls for Buttermilk. FYI...Buttermilk refers to a number of dairy drinks. Originally, buttermilk was the liquid left behind after churning butter out of cream but no, there is NO butter in buttermilk, and it is lower in fat than sweet milk. The flavor of buttermilk is reminiscent of yogurt and most people prefer it well-chilled. You will find it to be slightly thicker in texture than regular milk but not as heavy as cream. It takes 1 gallon of milk to yield 1/2 pint of true buttermilk.
White Chocolate filled Red Velvet Cupcakes (mmmmm delicious) with Marscapone Frosting!
3 ⅓ cups cake flour (not self-rising)
¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened shopping list
2 ¼ cups sugar shopping list
3 large eggs, at room temperature shopping list
6 tablespoons red food coloring shopping list
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa shopping list
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract shopping list
1 ½ teaspoons salt shopping list
1 ½ cups buttermilk shopping list
1 ½ teaspoons cider vinegar shopping list
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda shopping list
2 Hershey white chocolate bar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease and lightly flour three muffin tins. Place cupcake papers in the tins. In a small bowl, sift the cake flour and set aside. In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a small bowl, whisk together the red food coloring, cocoa, and vanilla. Add to the batter and beat well.
In a measuring cup, stir the salt into the buttermilk. Add to the batter in three parts, alternating with the flour. With each addition, beat until the ingredients are incorporated, but do not overheat.
In a small bowl, stir together the cider vinegar and baking soda. Add to the batter and mix well. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the batter in the bowl, making sure the ingredients are well blended and the batter is smooth.
Divide the batter in the prepared pans. Bake each tray for 20 minutes, or until a knife is inserted in the center of the cupcakes come out clean. Place a small square of the chocolate bar in center of each cupcake. Let the cupcakes cool in the pans for 1 hour. Remove from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.
Marscapone Frosting
8 ounces mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
In a medium bowl all ingredients. Beat with mixer at high speed for a few minutes until mixture comes together, thickens and resembles frosting.
Frost after cupcakes are cool.

Here's an instructional design tip I like to use as one method of showing parts to a whole. It's especially useful if you have a lot to say about each 'part.' Also note that there are many ways to get this effect. This process works well and is effective, especially when your tools and/or skills include PowerPoint, but not PhotoShop or other savvy image editing tools.
- Create your base image in full color and save it.
- Open the image in PowerPoint.
- Recolor the image with the Washout setting.
- Save a copy of the washed out image.
- Create your base slide in Storyline 2 using the full-color image as the main attraction.
- Create a separate layer for each part of the build.
- On each layer, use shapes to recolor the part being discussed.
Note: If you are using custom colors, use your eyedropper tool to get the color you want, and add it to your custom color palette so you can reuse the same color on the base and on the layer.
- On each layer add the text you want to show for that part.
- Set up triggers on the base layer to show each layer.
Feel free to leave your comments, and if you like this post, please share it with others.

Hot and Spicy South Indian Tomato Rice
The spice masala:
1 ½ teaspoons oil
3 large dried red chilies
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
3 teaspoons chana dal or yellow split peas
¼ teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1 tablespoon desiccated coconut
Remaining ingredients:
2 tablespoons oil
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup basmati or other long-grain white rice
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
10 fresh curry leaves
2 large red or green chilies, sliced in rings
½ teaspoon asafetida (hing)
4 large firm ripe tomatoes, chopped
To prepare the spice masala:
Heat 1 ½ teaspoons oil in a wok or heavy pan over moderate heat. Drop in the red chilies, coriander, and chana dal. Toast, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes or until they darken in color and become fragrant. Towards the end, drop in the fenugreek and coconut, and stir until the coconut becomes golden brown. Remove the spices and coconut and grind to a powder. Remove and set aside.
To prepare the rice:
1. Slowly bring the water and salt to a boil in a 1-liter/quart covered saucepan.
2. Warm 1 teaspoon oil in a 2-liter/quart saucepan over moderate heat. Pour in the rice and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until the grains glisten and turn whitish. Add the boiling water, raise the heat and quickly bring to a full boil. Immediately reduce the heat to very low, cover with a tight-fitting lid and gently simmer, without stirring, for 20-25 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender and fluffy. Remove the pan from the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the grains to firm up.
To prepare the tomatoes and complete the dish:
1. While the rice is cooking, place the remaining oil in a wok or heavy frying pan over moderate heat. When the oil is hot, drop in the mustard seeds. They will crackle, sputter, and start to turn grey. Add the curry leaves, stir briefly, then add the chilies and fry them for 1 or 2 minutes, or until they turn translucent. Sprinkle in the asafetida (hing), sauté momentarily and add the chopped tomatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the tomatoes soften and break down. Stir the spice masala into the tomatoes and cook for an additional one minute. Remove from the heat.
2. When the rice is fully cooked and firm, stir in the spicy tomatoes, fluffing the rice and tomatoes gently with a fork to mix evenly. Serve piping hot.

Immediate Response to Earthquake in Chile
Countries: | Operations ID: 200121 | Operations type:
On 27 February at 03:34 am (local time) an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.8 on the Richter scale has struck off the Chilean coast. The epicenter of the earthquake was 325km southwest of Santiago, 35km depth; with Concepcion, the second largest city in Chile (population approx 200,000) most affected. More than 90 aftershocks had been recorded, ranging from 4.9 to 6.9 in magnitude. The Government of Chile declared 6 regions as zone of catastrophes. The 6 regions affected are Valparaiso, Metropolitana, Libertador, O´Higgins, Araucania, BioBio and Maule.
At least 700 are reported dead, however, the numbers are expected to rise as rescue crews reach more areas. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued the highest-level tsunami warning for most Pacific coast countries and island states. However, as of Sunday, the warning has been cancelled for most areas.
Several buildings in the areas of Santiago and Valparaiso have partially collapsed. The principle hospitals in Temuco-Parral, Llaiten and Concepcion were affected; patients and staff were evacuated. Many other medical facilities have also been damaged in the region. In Concepcion and Valparaiso, public services such as electricity and communications were initially interrupted but have been mostly restored; the telephone system is overwhelmed. At least 3 bridges along the main Quinta highway and roads in the country's interior have been damaged; the ports of Valparaiso and Talcahuano are affected. Santiago Airport international terminal has suspended commercial flights for a maximum of 72 hours. The Chilean Red Cross reported that some 500,000 homes suffered considerable damage as a result of the quake.
The mayor of Concepcion city has said food is running out. Desperate residents have resorted to looting and demonstrations in the search for food. Lack of electricity in the areas most affected remains a problem meaning that currently cooking facilities are also limited.
In order to support the immediate response of the earthquake, WFP will provide 120 mt biscuits which will be airlifted from regional stocks stored in Quito Ecuador. The biscuits are sufficient to provide rations for 45,000 beneficiaries for 5 days. It is expected that the HEBs will be turned over to the Chilean National Emergency Office (ONEMI) for distribution to the effected populations without access to food or cooking facilities. The EMOP further provides for staff to be deployed to support the emergency efforts in assessment, Public Relations and management.
Duration of assistance (maximum three months): 1 March to 31 May, 2010
Number of beneficiaries and location: 45,000 beneficiaries for 5days in Concepcion and other affected areas
Food basket composition and ration levels: 550 grams HEB per day for 5 days
Total food aid requirements (mt): 120 Mt Biscuits
Mode of implementation: The biscuits will be distributed through ONEMI.

I have been looking for the perfect base coat for as long as I have been painting my nails . I haven't yet found one that caters my needs ( stops peeling and strengthens ) but I have managed to find a select few that aren't perfect but still seem to get used . Base coats are so important , they act as protecter whether or not you are wearing nail polish and are a necessity in any nail addicts collection. Whilst you may believe that they all have the one purpose I tend to use each one for very specific and different reasons.
Orly Polish Bond - this is the base I use when I'm applying polish to my nails . Like most base coats it dries pretty fast but once dry it doesn't feel like most base coats but instead a sheeny matte which is kind of sticky which helps the polish to bond (the clue's in the name really ) this was my most recent base purchase and I love it for helping my polish to last longer but price wise it's a tad expensive at £10 a bottle slightly beating the price of Seche Vite .
Nails Inc Save the Nail- when I made the purchase of this nail treatment I wasn't aware that it was made by Nails Inc. It has a total different look to usual Nails Inc products and at under £10 it's quite the winner. The idea is that you paint your nails everyday with the polish and on the seventh day you remove it all and start again. Whilst I love this idea it really is time consuming and your polish is gone in a matter of weeks.

She goes reverse cowgirl and doggy style, giving it to him good in her black stiletto's until he blows his load on all over her back.

Went to the doctor today to get that spot on my arm checked. The one I talked about in my last blog post. Got the all clear on that one.
He wants to do a biopsy on another one though, high up on my back. Constantly exposed to the sun. Above the collar line of the tops I wear. So I have another appointment booked in a couple of weeks to have my whole body checked & any biopsies taken in the same visit.
So, fingers crossed all will be well. He printed off some info to take home about the different types of skin cancers.
The most common ones are Basal Cell Carcinomas (BCC), which are the ones that rarely spread & once they are chopped out it's gone. I think that's what my one 21 years ago must have been because the doc then told me it was all gone & not to worry about it & I'm still here to tell the tale!
The next kind of skin cancers are Squamous Cell Carcinomas (SCC), which typically develop on the face (although they can be elsewhere) & grows & if untreated, can erode you nose or ear, etc. It can also spread around the body. With these ones, the doctor said chemotherapy is usually required.
Then there are melanomas, which are particularly nasty. They can even develop on areas of skin not often exposed to the sun. My doctor told me there is no proven treatment for these, however radiation and/or chemo therapy would be the expected path of treatment.
The "take home message" from today's visit is:
See your doctor if you develop an abnormal lump or patch of skin which does not go within a few weeks. See you doctor if you develop a lump or patch on the skin which you are unsure about, or if a mole changes its shape, border, colour or size.
So please, check your skin & your family's skin (get your family to check the areas you can't see) and make an appointment if you are not sure about any spots. You are not wasting the doctor's time, you may be saving your life. Or someone else's.
And please leave me a message to tell me you have checked yourself. This is a serious health issue.
Thanks and good luck to you all,
Karen. xx

Such an important message. My husb's dad died of melanoma - husb was only 4 at the time, his dad 42. It was just in his hairline so by the time it was noticed it was too late. Better to get things checked and find out they're nothing than leave it and find out the hard way.
Glad one's all clear. Hope the biopsy proves the other one's okay too.

Higher rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity, as measured by a multi-biomarker disease activity (MBDA) panel, was associated with higher rates of hospitalized infections, myocardial infarction (MI), and coronary heart disease (CHD) events, analysis of Medicare data indicated.
Higher MBDA test scores were associated with increased serious infection events (HR 1.32 per 10-unit score increment, 95% CI 1.23-1.41), Jeffrey R. Curtis, MD, MPH, of the University of Alabama at Birmingham and colleagues reported.
Scores higher than 30 also were associated with increased MI (HR 1.52, 95% CI 0.92-2.49) and CHD rates (HR 1.54, 95% CI 1.01-2.34), compared with scores less than 30.
"In this large RA population predominantly consisting of older individuals, higher MBDA scores were associated with increased risk for hospitalized infection, MI and CHD events," they wrote in Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.
"A strong dose–response gradient existed between MBDA scores and hospitalized infections (pneumonia and sepsis). The patterns for MI and CHD events suggested more of a threshold effect, where those with the lowest level of disease activity and inflammation were at lowest risk, but gradations with higher levels of the biomarker were relatively absent," they added.
The 100-point MBDA system is based on a set of 12 protein biomarkers, shown to correlate well with disease activity in several RA cohorts. It is commercially available from Crescendo Biosciences under the name Vectra DA. A score under 30 is considered low, 30–44 moderate, and over 44 high.
For this analysis, the researchers used national Medicare fee-for-service claims from 2010 to 2014, linking that information to patient-specific MBDA scores supplied by Crescendo.
To be included in the study, a patient needed to have at least one valid MBDA score linked to Medicare claims and at least 365 continuous days of Medicare with Part D coverage before the first valid MBDA test date.
The researchers excluded patients who had an International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-9 diagnosis code for ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel disease psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, malignancy (except non-melanoma skin cancer), polymyalgia rheumatica, and giant cell arteritis in the 12-month baseline period. They also excluded patients who had initiated any non-tumor necrosis factor biologic or synthetic targeted disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in the 183 days before the index date.
Patients who had a prior MI, coronary artery bypass grafting, or percutaneous coronary intervention were not included in the MI and CHD outcome.
Because MBDA scores could be affected by an evolving outpatient infection or MI, the researchers also excluded patients from the MI and CHD analysis if they had heart attacks or coronary events in the 7 days following the MBDA test. Similarly, they excluded patients from the serious infection outcome if they had a serious infection in the 14 days after the test.
A total of 17,433 patients were eligible for the serious infection analysis and 16,796 patients for the MI and CHD outcome. Overall, the average age was 69 years; 79% were women, 81% were white, and 38% were disabled. These patients used methotrexate (54%), oral glucocorticoids (53%), non-biologic DMARDs (40%) and biologics (17%) to treat their RA.
Characteristics of patients in lower MBDA categories suggested they were younger (a 3-year difference), had a lower burden of comorbidities, and used less glucocorticoids and more biologics than patients with higher MBDA scores.
After multivariable adjustment, higher MBDA scores were associated with statistically significantly higher rates of serious infection events and higher MI and CHD rates.
Because C-reactive protein, one of the MBDA biomarkers, might influence outcomes, the researchers performed sensitivity analyses excluding it and found similar results: a 1.5-fold (CHD) and 1.7-fold (MI) elevated risk for patients in the higher disease activity category compared with the lowest.
"The current study is novel in that it leveraged a large administrative data source linked to a laboratory test provider database to address a question that neither data source by itself could address," the authors wrote.
The results should be interpreted in light of the study design, they noted. It included predominantly older adults and findings might not apply to younger RA patients.
"However, given that the prevalence of infectious and CHD risk factors generally increases with age, we would speculate that the associations between RA disease activity and the outcomes that we studied might be even stronger in younger patients with RA," they wrote.
This analysis was supported in part by Crescendo Bioscience, which is part of Myriad Genetics.
Curtis is a consultant for Myriad Genetics and has received research grants from them.

|Tram is the Kolkata's old tradition at effect.
Kolkata is the only Indian city which maintains such rich heritage. The first tram rolled out on the tracks way back in February 28, 1873. A horse drawn tram system opened in January 1881 after a premature experiment in 1873 and a steam tramway line opened in 1882. Electric trams began plying on March 27, 1902 and by 1921 there were 56 km of track and 512 cars in service. Kolkata tramway provides a leisurely way of observing the historic parts of Kolkata and Sutanuti.
|FIRST TREE TRANSPLANTATION PROJECT The Calcutta Tramways Company while executing this Project for extension of Tram Services from Maniktala to Bidhannagar Railway Station took up the Project of Tree Transplantation. These trees had grown up into impressive green belt over the past few years along the median of Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue.Tramway Company, in consultation with Government of West Bengal , decided that the trees should not be cut down, but should be transplanted. as many as 90 full- grown trees were transplanted out of which 89 trees survived.This Project is the first of its kind in Kolkata.
|TRAMJATRA Tracking the tale of the two cities, we find an unique similarity between them i.e the trams. Although, Kolkata & Melbourne used to be the capitals of their respective countries during the raj, the one link with history they continue to share concerns is trams, which they work hard at preserving. During Feb/March 2001, The Calcutta tramways Corporation hit the headlines by organising a tramjatra commemorating the similarity between the two cities in respect to trams. To note, the celebrations started at Esplanade on February 21st 2001. Infact the celebration will be observed during the months of Feb-March at Kolkata & Oct-Nov in Melbourne.

First, congratulations! We're sure that the next months of your life are going to be busy ones--and it is important to invest in your marriage prior to your wedding day.
Here at Emergence, we believe that preparing to be married is an essential piece of the pre-wedding plans. This is why in order to be married by a pastor from Emergence, you must participate in pre-marital counseling. If our names are on your certificate, we want to know you've put the work into ensuring a solid marriage. Because of this, we rarely accept requests for marriage if there is less than 4 months until the wedding day.
The first step of this process is to fill out a wedding application. We will contact you shortly after we receive the application and begin the rest of this exciting preparation!

My favorite team is ARCA. Also, I think the guys from Google should increase the prize, they expect anyway that the 'winning' teams costs will be much more higher then 30 million $. Maybe this would boost up the effort of the participating teams. It's nice to see that Google is supporting technological progress and it's nice to know that BHW members are contributing to this progress by "working" for Google. As a little relief: chances are that those money from those banned Adsense accounts might go into R/D for the greater good.

Here's a common job interview trap that many candidates fall into during their interview.
The Trap: You talk about a broad range of your achievements and results – from getting teams to work better, to improving specific processes and managing clients, etc. – and forget to tie it all together by focusing on which of your achievements would resonate most with the hiring organization.
The Solution: Market yourself. It's all about positioning yourself strategically as a certain type of expert, and then explaining how you can solve particular problems.
- Create a personal branding statement that shows interviewers exactly how you help organizations solve their problems.
- Then, back up your claims with solid proof in the form of "interviewer stories". That way, you build credibility and people remember you.
Marketing is about packaging yourself. It's having a business card and a resumé that sells you before you walk in the door.

'The Bachelor' Contestants: Where Are They Now?
Have you been thinking about "The Bachelor" contestants: Where are they now? Was this the season that you told yourself you would kick your guilty secret to the curb and not get sucked into "The Bachelor" black hole? They got you anyway, didn't they? The promise of the inevitable train wreck pulls you into "The Bachelor" vortex. It's not you. They're very clever and sneaky; don't feel guilty. As long as you're in this deep, you might as well take it one step further. Here are the top five favorite "The Bachelor" contestants, and a look to where are they now?
- Jake Pavelka: You had to know that this Bachelor would be Numero Uno. He had us at hello. We could no more resist that sheepish grin than he could resist being a fame junkie. Since picking daddy's princess, Vienna Girardi, on unlucky season 13, Jake cheesed his way through "Dancing with the Stars" and "Drop Dead Diva," where he plays a guy on a reality show looking for his true love. It is reported that he dropped his own lady love, Vienna, from the "Diva" set. Apparently, he is channeling Bill Murray and doing his own "Groundhog Day." Meanwhile, Vienna announced that she would soon be baring all in "Playboy," however, a spokesperson for the popular men's mag said they had never offered her an invite. Twitter reports that the two twits have not twitted since the breakup.
- Bob Guiney: This popular Bachelor contestant ranks number two because of his perseverance. Not one to give up, he was rejected on the first season of "The Bachelorette," then went on to be "The Bachelor" in season four, only to break his final choice's heart, Estella Gardinier in 2003. Today, he is the host of the cable show, "Date My House," as well as fronting the "Band From TV." He is currently married to "All My Children's," Rebecca Budig. "The Bachelor's" token "joker" does love his roses.
- Andrew Firestone: Season 3 of "The Bachelor" brought us someone who was down on his luck financially. After all, he was only the heir to the biggest tire company in the world. Bless his heart. He had great looks and big bucks but no lady love. His anointed one was Jen Schefft, but he soon sent her cruising to become Bachelorette number three, eventually marrying the model Ivana Bozilovic . He reported that he didn't want to mess up his credibility by pursuing the "Hollywood thing." It would appear that he almost escaped evil Hollywood, but they were sneaky enough to rope him into doing VH1's popular show, "Charm School." Hey, life's tough for some folks. He continues to run his family's tire company, as well as their wineries.
- Jesse Palmer: This delicious darling was a season five Bachelor contestant. The NFL quarterback was perhaps best known for fumbling a contestant's name during the rose ceremony. Today, he is back on the football circuit as an ESPN College Analyst. His chosen one was Jessica Bowlin, but they hit the skids in 2004. It is unclear what his current relationship status is, as he never does interviews. What is clear, though, is that he was one of the seemingly most sincere of "The Bachelor" contestants to this day.
- Brad Womack: Season eleven on "The Bachelor" brought us a real man's man. This Austin, Texas hunk was undoubtedly the most detested man of all of "The Bachelor" contestants. There was a huge brou-ha-ha after he rejected the top two rose carrying contestants Jenni Croft and DeAnna Pappas. He was reported to have had DeAnna's father flown in for the final show, knowing that he would not be picking either of the ladies. Supposedly, he told the producers two weeks before the show's finale that he would not be choosing anyone, but was pressured into ring shopping anyway. After Ellen DeGeneres publicly called him a "jerk" on her talk show, she did eventually allow him to go on air with her to deny that this never happened. After returning from "The Bachelor," he currently owns five bars, and is living large in big "A" town.

Before You Blame the LED…
In the early stages of LED hitting the lighting market, a common phrase came with the purchase of an LED bulb that colored the perception of buyers. "Lasts a lifetime". This misnomer was created years ago by early manufacturers to entice shoppers to convert to LED, back when the cost of even a standard A19 LED bulb was astronomical. Were they really going to last a lifetime?
Even some current residential grade bulbs will specify that they are rated for 35+ years of usage. A closer look at the fine print shows that is based on 1-3 hours a day use. A commercial grade LED bulb rated for 50,000 hours with a 5 year manufacturer warranty operates under the expectation that the lamp is on constantly. First you must know your application and the quality of lamp that is needed to function.
So you bought an LED bulb with a 3-5 year warranty and it burns out prematurely. What gives? Most rush to blame the bulb itself, which in many cases turns out to be correct. But to ensure you are finding the true solution, it's important to widen your scope and consider other variables within your application.
What are some possibilities for early burn out of an LED? Even with commercial grade LED bulbs, you will find some duds. Poor design with sub-optimal parts (particularly heat sink) can result in an LED bulb burning out. Despite it being pretty clear on the box when buying a bulb, end users often put LED lamps that are not rated for enclosed fixtures in an enclosed fixture. Nothing causes the premature failure of an LED bulb quite like excess heat. Even with an enclosed-rated LED bulb, pay close mind to the size of the fixture.
Other issues can arise within a fixture that have nothing to do with the LED bulb itself. The wiring could be shot and causing connectivity issues. Cheaper, residential-grade fixtures wear down over time. Sockets in particular can become an issue if the LED bulb cannot connect properly. This results in irregular build-up of heat, and then the driver burns out and the lamp is not functional.
Then there is dimming. With the prohibitive cost of dimming systems, many LED bulbs are now running on existing incandescent dimmers. In many instances they will work just as they normally do. Any flickering you might see will alert you to the fact that your dimmer is not compatible with LED bulbs. An LED bulb that does not function properly with incandescent leading-edge dimmers is likely causing a damaging current ripple to the LED power supply. Also make sure you are using the proper lamp for the voltage. 120V is most common (especially if dimming capability is present) but there are fixtures and LED lamps designed for 277V only.
As we often say, lighting is complicated and no longer as simple as screwing in a bulb. Take the time to analyze your application and the lamp you wish to use. If you still have questions, fill out our LED lighting questionnaire with information about your particular situation.
