Aviation History
Attack helicopters APACHES AT READY Despite delays in training pilots for the Boeing/Westland Apache AM, the British Army has no reservations about its new attack helicopter CRAIG HOYLE /YEOVIL ; his week's Farnborough air show will host a major event in one of the British Army's most important procurements of recent decades when the service accepts the last of its 67 Boeing/Westland Apache AH1 attack helicopters during a ceremony on 21 July. While army officials stress the mile stone is a small step on the road to the UK's Apache fleet being declared fully opera tional in 2007, the acceptance is one of the final markers to be passed before the type achieves initial operating capability (IOC) late next month. Scheduled to take place on 31 August, the IOC declaration will mark the combat avail ability of the army's first four-aircraft Apache unit at its Dishforth base, a formation capa ble of operational deployment within a 90- day notice period. Aircraft assigned to this unit will also form part of the army's first eight-strong squadron, which will stand up at Dishforth in October. A second squadron will be declared ready at the site before mid-2005, with the two squadrons forming the army's 9 Regiment; the first of three 16-aircraft formations to be equipped with the Apache AH1. The other two attack heli copter regiments will be formed at Wattisham by 2007. Lynx support Each eight-strong squadron will be backed by four Westland Lynx AH 7/9 combat sup port helicopters that perform battlefield reconnaissance, airborne command post, forward air control and equipment and personnel transport duties alongside the attack helicopters. The army's eventual operating fleet of 48 Apaches will be supplemented by around 10 for training, with the remainder to be involved in deep-level maintenance or held as attrition reserves. A key assessment for the army's Apache fleet will be conducted early next year at the BATUS training range in western Canada, when aircraft from 9 Regiment will undergo an operational evaluation to assess the robustness of the army's training syllabus. The introduction of the Apache into UK service represents a massive advance in firepower and situational awareness over the Lynx AH7 assault helicopter and requires a large training area equipped with a full range of battlefield equipment and weapon systems. "BATUS is the only training space we have where we can do the manoeuvre operations we want to demonstrate," says Brig Richard Folkes, the UK's director army aviation. The objectives and force mix for the rotary element of next year's BATUS deployment have yet to be finalised by the UK's Joint Helicopter Command (JHC). The exercise is also awaiting allocation of Ministry of Defence funding. However, several Apaches from each of the two avail able squadrons are expected to participate in the exercise, marking their largest opera tional test to date. The army's first squadron pilots for the Apache are undergoing six-month conver sion-to-role training at Dishforth, building on an earlier six months of conversion-to- type training conducted at the Army 58 20-26 JULY 2004 FLIGHT INTERNATIONAL www.flightinternational.com

There are two types of high mountain lakes, those above the tree line and those below it. Some lakes are at such an elevation that they are above the level where trees can grow. These lakes usually sit at the bottom of a talus slope and offer very little cover for fish. Since these lakes are nutrient-poor compared to their lower neighbors, food is scarce and they tend to have fewer trout. This doesn't necessarily mean the fishing isn't good, though. As long as you don't spook the fish (which can be quite easy), you can take advantage of the scarce food situation. Hungry fish are eager to fish. Because of the fierce competition for food, some of these high alpine trout will aggressively attack anything that even resembles a meal.
Because lakes below the tree line offer more food, they typically house more fish. There is usually more cover for these fish to hide. The two drawbacks to these lakes are the abundant food (fish won't bite if they're not hungry) and the fact that they can be in heavily forested areas, which makes casting difficult. This can also shelter a lake from the sun.
I remember a hike I went on a few summers ago in Colorado. I tried to time my trip just as I thought the lake was thawing out in mid-June since this time offers some of the best fishing of the year. During this time the fish are usually hungry and eager to bite anything that looks like food. I also think fish seem to forget some of their nervous habits over the long winter months and appear to be a bit less spooky just after the thaw. On this particular trip (as with many others), I had to use snowshoes to reach the lake only to discover that it was still iced over. I was probably two weeks early. Not wanting to give up, I took out my map to see if there were any other lakes in the area. Luckily, I spotted a small, unnamed lake on the map that rested just above the tree line. Although it was a little higher in elevation, it sat on a south-facing slope. I decided to give it a try since it received a bit more sun.
I reached the lake an hour later and I was in luck: the lake was just about ice-free. I was sure I was the first fisherman to cast a line in that lake all year, but before I did, I hiked up a small hill overlooking the lake to scout the situation. I couldn't believe what I saw. It seemed every trout in the lake was cruising the shallows for food and probably enjoying the warmer water as well. They weren't schooled up (brook trout rarely are); instead, it was as if each fish was out only for its own survival. To make the story short I got strikes on about every cast. This just shows that timing is as important as the many other ingredients of successful fly fishing.
Keep in mind the pros and cons of each type of high mountain lake and don't be afraid to hike a while to get to that elusive water hole that every fisherman claims to have found, though few probably actually have.

• More than eighty per cent of the underground cable is laid• Work on the A540 is expected to finish shortly• Work is starting to commission the Flintshire Bridge converter station More than eighty per cent of the Western Link project's underground cable has been laid from Leasowe, at the northern tip of the Wirral peninsula, down to National Grid's substation in Connah's Quay.This includes the two-kilometre stretch along the A540, the longest section being laid in a main road, and it is expected that work will be completed here shortly.Peter Roper, Senior Project Manager said: "We appreciate that our work is affecting local residents and commuters, and we'd like to say a big 'thank you' to everyone for their patience so far."The good news is that by the end of the year we expect to have laid all the cable and joined the sections together, and completed most of the reinstatement of the land where we've laid the cables. We may need a handful of road closures to complete the work and if we do, we'll post these on our website www.westernhvdclink.co.uk."Most of the cable is laid in trenches. The cable is brought to the site on a special transporter around 26 metres long, and a powerful winch pulls the cable into the trench. The trench is then backfilled and the land reinstated according to the requirements of the landowners and to its previous condition, as a minimum.
Joining the cables together – known as 'jointing' – is highly specialised work and needs to be carried out in a controlled environment. Specialist teams work inside containers, where they create two joints, one for each cable, with each joint taking between seven to ten days. Once the work is complete the containers are removed and the land reinstated.On Deeside Industrial Park, work has progressed well with construction of the Flintshire Bridge converter station. All the buildings are complete, and all the electrical equipment needed to connect the Western Link cables to the existing national grid has been installed. Work is starting shortly on the complex, lengthy task of commissioning.The alternating current cables needed to connect the converter station to National Grid's substation in Connah's Quay have been pulled through pipes installed under the River Dee, and laid underground along the banks of the river up to the substation."We expect to complete all the work on the alternating current cables, including reinstatement of the land, over the next few months," said Peter Roper.Out at sea, work is continuing to lay the subsea cable to connect to North Ayrshire, where work is continuing to construct a second converter station and install approximately four kilometres of underground cable.If people have any queries on the project they can contact the Community Relations Team by emailing email@example.com or calling 0800 021 7878. They can also find more information on the website www.westernhvdclink.co.uk.The £1 billion Western Link project is a joint venture between National Grid and ScottishPower Transmission. When complete, it will bring renewable energy from Scotland to homes and businesses in England and Wales and help the UK meet its carbon reduction targets.

Yi San dramatizes the life of Korea's King Jeongjo, the 22nd ruler of the Joseon Dynasty. Jeongjo is remembered in Korean history for his sympathy with the plight of the common man, in spite of his own pampered upbringing as royalty.
The drama begins with the King's early years, during which he befriends two children working in the Palace who are later expelled. King Yeongjo (Jeongjo's grandfather) seals Jeongjo's father, Crown Prince Sado, in a rice storage chest with no food or water because he fears that the crown prince is planning a coup. Jeongjo wants to save his father, and with the help of his friends Song Yeon and Dae Su, begs Yeongjo to forgive the Crown Prince. The drama then skips forward to Jeongjo's adult years when he and his friends re-establish contact with each other. Throughout, Jeongjo's position as Crown Prince is threatened by palace intrigues.
While still the Crown Prince, Jeongjo begins to fall in love with one of his childhood friends, Sung Song Yeon, whose father, a palace artist, died when she was very young. The story then follows Yi San's rise to power, his assumption of the kingship, and the labyrinthine palace intrigues that he must constantly guard against. While the show does deviate from the historical record in a number of ways, its representation of court life during the Joseon Dynasty appears to be based on contemporary sources.

Xopenex HFA Dosage
For preventing and treating airway spasms caused by asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, most people use two sprays of Xopenex HFA. Dosage recommendations will vary from person to person, depending on the severity of the condition. Some people may only need to one spray to control asthma symptoms. To ensure that the medication works properly, your Xopenex HFA dosing guidelines must be followed as prescribed.
The dose of Xopenex HFA® (levalbuterol HFA) that your healthcare provider recommends will vary depending on a number of factors, including:
- Whether you use Xopenex HFA to treat or prevent asthma attacks
- The severity of your asthma or other respiratory problems
- Other medications you may be taking.
As is always the case, do not adjust your Xopenex HFA dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
Xopenex HFA Dosing for Bronchospasm
To treat or prevent spasms of the airway (bronchospasms) due to asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the recommended Xopenex HFA dose is two sprays as needed, as frequently as every four to six hours. For some people, only one spray every four hours will be needed to control asthma symptoms. If you need to use your Xopenex HFA asthma inhaler more often than prescribed, talk to your healthcare provider about adding an additional asthma medication.
If Xopenex HFA is not adequately controlling an asthma attack, seek medical attention immediately, as this may be an emergency.
Some considerations for people taking Xopenex HFA include the following:
- Xopenex HFA comes in a metered-dose inhaler (called an "MDI").
- Some people take Xopenex HFA only when they need it (during an asthma attack), while others take it regularly to help prevent attacks.
- You should "test spray" each Xopenex HFA inhaler before your first use of it, or if you have not used it for more than three days. To test spray the inhaler, spray it into the air four times by pressing on the top of the canister.
- Shake your Xopenex HFA asthma inhaler gently before each use.
- Wait at least one minute in between inhalations.
- It is important to learn exactly how to use your Xopenex HFA inhaler. It may be difficult at first and may require practice.
- The spray should be inhaled into the lungs, not sprayed into the back of the throat and swallowed. To accomplish this, you will need to breathe in while spraying the inhaler.
- Most people put the mouthpiece of the inhaler directly into their mouths. However, many healthcare professionals now recommend placing the inhaler an inch or two away from the mouth. Talk to your healthcare provider about the best way for you to use the inhaler.
- Each inhaler contains 200 sprays. Try to keep track of approximately how many sprays you have used in order to know when to replace the inhaler. Do not place the inhaler in water to see if it is empty (although it was recommended to do so in the past).
- Be sure that you always have a Xopenex HFA asthma inhaler on hand (and that your Xopenex HFA prescription has refills), as failing to treat an asthma attack can quickly turn into a medical emergency.
- If you are unsure about anything related to Xopenex HFA or your Xopenex HFA dosage, please talk to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.

Apple has released a fix for users affected by 'Error 53', a software issue that rendered useless iPhones that had had their home buttons replaced by third parties.
The problem was related to Apple's Touch ID fingerprint reader which is part of the home button and can be used to unlock the device rather than inputting a passcode.
If a non-Apple repairer replaced the button on a damaged iPhone or iPad a subsequent update of the operating system detected a non-standard component and shut down the device, with no way to restart it.
The fury of thousands of affected users who had had damaged phones repaired only to find they were later unexpectedly 'bricked' when updating the operating system was highlighted by the Guardian earlier this month.
At the time Apple said that Error 53 was a security feature to protect customers. It said: "This security measure is necessary to protect your device and prevent a fraudulent Touch ID sensor from being used. If a customer encounters Error 53, we encourage them to contact Apple Support."
Issuing a fix with an updated version of its operating system iOS 10.9.2, Apple told the tech site TechCrunch that it apologised for any inconvenience to customers. It added: "This was designed to be a factory test and was not intended to affect customers. Customers who paid for an out-of-warranty replacement of their device based on this issue should contact AppleCare about a reimbursement."
The turnaround comes after widespread publicity and the Californian tech giant being served with a class action lawsuit over in the US and attention from a competition watchdog in Australia.
The fix will let users with disabled iPhones clear the error by connecting them to iTunes and installing the updated iOS. The update can not be applied directly to the phone via the cloud, but iPhones updated in that way were unaffected.
Solving Error 53 does not re-enable Touch ID, which would be a security issue after a third party replacement, potentially allowing unauthorised access to a locked phone by modifying the fingerprint sensor.
The fix comes as the security of Apple's devices is at the centre of a standoff between the company and the US government over access to the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino killers.

The Awesomeness Economy
Once upon a time, there was a market controlled by supply and demand. Consumers acted in self-interest, buying products that were better or cheaper, and prices had to be set accordingly. Workers were simply another market; they were bought by businesses if they were better or cheaper. Natural resources were inputs, and the cheaper they were, the better — if no one was charged for them, they weren't even considered part of the economic formula at all.
Lately things have been changing. Organic food (which, to the purely self-interested consumer, is merely more expensive) is the fastest growing segment of the US food market. The iPod (whose functionality was barely any different from a myriad of other mp3 players) created a frenzy of consumer buying. Google seems capable of creating better apps for free than a dozen software companies (while paying their employees more, too).
A great article by Umair Haque epitomizes a new tone in business theory: the Awesomeness Manifesto. His recommended business model is to create insanely great stuff that makes your customers authentically better off, have employees who love what they do, and run your business ethically. Is advice like this worth following? Is it just a fad with a cute name, or is there real economics behind it? Let's take it point by awesome point.
The Awesomeness Manifesto has four pillars:
Insanely great stuff. Umair describes this as products that delight, inspire, and enlighten. Putting this as one of his four core values reflects our society's recent discovery of great user interface. We're waking up from a long, cold winter where the usefulness of a product was measured by its "functionality," and we're finally realizing the importance of enjoyment. Our lives are filled with mundane tasks, with things we must do even if we'd rather not. Many products have helped us make those chores go by more quickly, but few have made them more fun. Products like the iPod (Umair's example) have only scratched the surface…after all, listening to music was always mostly fun. How clean would your house be if your vacuum cleaner were also a great dance partner? How much more often would you cook if your fridge displayed your friends' recipes? …based on what food you had in the fridge? All of our checkbooks would be balanced if the software that balanced them were more like a video game…you get the picture. We are only just entering the Era of Great UI Design.
Thick value. "Thick value is real, meaningful, and sustainable. It happens by making people authentically better off." This follows many, many articles written lately on how to succeed in business. They are insistent: do something you genuinely believe will help people. Choose something you are passionate about. Be of service. Offer more than you get in return. This business model isn't just about the product a business offers, it's about the relationship between the business owner and the core of their business. Most economic models provide dry logic for business planning, and are unconcerned with how the business owner feels. In the old model, business is about making money, not about fulfillment, not about doing something you love. The old model is the venture-capitalist model: find an investment that will increase your capital.
The new model, the Awesomeness model, is the entrepreneur's way. I've known a lot of serial entrepreneurs, and very often they will have six "failed" businesses before they succeed; or they will "fail" at the same business for ten years before succeeding; or sometimes, they have only "failures" to their credit. But these entrepreneurs are driven to start another business, and are happier than most of the people I know who have more money but work for someone else. These businesses, these projects, are not just attempts to make money — they are love affairs. They are children that grow and have lives of their own, and the tiny possibility that one of them could become a wildly popular meme in our society is enough to keep an entrepreneur going for a very, very long and frugal time.
Thick value is what indie entrepreneurs do naturally, and it is becoming popular because we now live in a world where indie entrepreneurs can (and do) become rich and famous. And that is a wonderful place to be, whether you're in the business-business or the consumer-business.
Love. Now we've moved from the business owner to the employees. Are they automatons, doing what they are told? Are they there only for the paycheck? Or do they love what they do? Workers are a market, and the new wisdom holds true here as well: provide them with more than they expect. Create a workspace that inspires and delights them. Why? Because engineers who love their company and feel that their job fulfills their purpose in life create insanely great stuff! Because sales people who think their company is the cat's meow will have enthusiasm that is infectious. Because workers who are there for more than the paycheck will provide more to your business than the amount you pay them. Love your employees, provide them with fulfilling work, make your office more cozy than their living room, and they will be worth their weight in gold.
Ethical production. Why do so many people pay more for local or organic food? Why is Starbucks offering fair trade coffee? Why do oil and pharmaceutical companies spend millions to advertise how "green" they are?
Game theory has always been ahead of economics on this one. Plenty of research shows that people aren't motivated purely by self-interest. Other strong motivating factors include delayed benefit, thin altruism, thick altruism, and social pressure. Delayed benefit is the idea of good will — if you do something nice for me, I'll do something nice for you in return. It's about brand loyalty and repeat customers, and is why good customer service is important. Thin altruism is the desire to see someone else be happy. It's why we buy our friend's nephew's cd, or shop at the same local bakery year after year. Thick altruism is about doing the right thing. Social pressure is about doing what other people are doing, and about being seen to do what others are doing. Thick altruism and social pressure have really been pushing this change lately, and it's due to the tight-weave of the internet.
Not so long ago, we got our information about products primarily from one source: mass media, which was controlled by The Powerful (an all-encompassing term for big company executives and others who tend to be extremely wealthy). But now, due to the accessibility of the web (bless you, net neutrality) with its blogs, videos, tweets, rss feeds, etc, we can hear the opinions of just about anyone and affect the opinions of tens of millions of consumers. This lets people who are passionate about something (like the environment or social justice, or even just a great UI) promote the products or companies they like. And here's a little tidbit about human nature: people with overactive consciences tend to be passionate about changing consumer behavior. So it's no surprise to me that we are entering a period where social justice and being green have become trendy.
From a business perspective, it's important to realize that nowadays people do consider the larger effect of their purchases, so play to their consciences as well as their pocket-books.
Awesome Economics is here, and it's not going away. We'll only see more of this type of advice, and companies big and small are already on board. Will you be a part of the Awesomeness Economy, or will you be left behind, running a company that you don't love and that no one else loves either?
Really, what have you got to lose?

Innovative technology for precise winding
The Sirius™ winding system winds the paper or board in a gentle and controlled fashion. It is especially suitable for surface-sensitive paper and large winding diameters.
A key feature of Sirius is the precise and sensitive line load generation by the SensoNip control system. This creates the nip load via the SensoRoll compression system. The growth of the roll is offset by the path-controlled movement of the full reel spool. Line load control and reel spool movement are completely separate. The continuous center torque and the oscillating unit facilitate control of the roll build-up and winding tightness.
The Sirius winding system is used especially with surface-sensitive paper and large winding diameters, but is suitable for practically every application at speeds of up to 2,500 m/min. It can be used with winding diameters of up to 4,500 mm and paper roll weights of up to 160 metric tons.

I have lived in Howick for over twenty years, have raised my children here, and I am an
established part of the Howick community.
I love being close to the sea and surrounded by the many beautiful vistas I appreciate on a daily basis.
A number of years ago I started an Interior Design business, having a flair for colour and a
passion for creating beautiful spaces for people to love living in.
Enjoying immensely being involved in the housing industry I commenced working for a Private Sale Company 'Homesell' a job I found incredibly rewarding. I loved being involved in the whole process of helping people sell their own homes from the first initial meeting until the 'SOLD' sticker went on the sign.
I helped my Homesell clients in the presentation of their homes, maximising the full potential of every home before it was put on the market. Obviously a complimentary service I now offer all my Total Focus clients.
I have now been involved in Real Estate for a number of years and thoroughly enjoy working for Total Focus Property. I offer all my clients superior marketing, exceptional communication and will strive to achieve outstanding results!
I feel enormous satisfaction helping people and putting a smile on their face, knowing I
have done a great job, so ultimately "they are happy".
Selling or buying a home can be a stressful time and I believe I have the right skills, being caring, supportive and having excellent negotiating skills maximizing the best possible outcome for you.
For the 'best move' you'll ever make, give Lynne a call.
What Past Clients have to say:
9 Elizabeth St and 36 Nelson Street
Lynne, we would like to extend our appreciation for the thoroughly professional way in which you sold our house. The diligence and competence with which you marketed our house, in what can best be described as an excellent example of best practice in real estate sales. We had at the time twin 3mth year olds and during the process you were very accommodating to all our needs. All property viewings were professional and buyers were guided through the properties always in a completely professional manner. Feedback after each open home was exceptional and also chasing up potential buyers from the open homes and private viewing was second to none.
I will not hesitate to recommend you to any future sellers because you go above and beyond the expectations of any other real estate agent and you make sure that the we got top dollar for our house and accommodated all our needs that during a time in our life was extremely hectic. Next time we sell (in 4-5 years I might add) I know who to call.
Matt and Sian Rossiter
84 Botany Road and purchase of new home
We are absolutely overjoyed by the great service we received from Lynn. A really good outcome achieved in quick time.
April and Craig
33 Sunderlands Road, Half Moon Bay
Early last year we engaged the services of Lynne Hodges of Total Focus Property Ltd to manage and promote the sale of our home at 33 Sunderlands Road, Half Moon Bay, Auckland.
We found Lynne to be highly professional and very dedicated in assisting us in selling our home and were delighted when we sold our home in March 2012.
Lynne is a very enthusiastic, passionate person who ensures her clients/customers are continually well informed during the process of selling your home.
Lynne possesses strong qualities of honesty and integrity with a warm personality which can be difficult to find in the real estate industry and we would have no hesitation in recommending her when looking to sell property.
It has been a pleasure dealing with Lynne and we wish her well with her future endeavours.
Kind regards,
Phil & Norene Butterworth
1/58 Gossamer Drive, Pakuranga
You and Fran have just been AMAZING throughout this whole sale and not stopping even after the first offer. We were so lucky to have you both.
We cannot believe how some of the other land agents get their jobs after going through some open homes – they may as well have just got on the bed and gone to sleep for the time they were there!!! Not one of the ones we went through could they even answer any simple questions about the property they were supposed to be selling.
Kind regards.
Trish Vickers
13 Seymour Road
Lynne sold our house in Mellons Bay in April 2014. I would like to sincerely thank her for the wonderful job she did accompanying us with every step of the process. I would recommend Lynne to anyone wanting to sell their home as she is professional, enthusiastic, and punctual and a pleasure to deal with. Furthermore Lynne provides a level of support during what can be a particularly stressful time. Thanks to you Lynne!
Jessica and Rob
Last year I put my home on the market with Total Focus. I couldn't have made a better choice. My agents were Lynne Hodges and Fran Jordan. They were a joy to work with. Nothing was too much trouble and they kept me up with what was happening all the time. They also organized very good advertising and consequently I had a very quick sale. I would recommend them to anyone.
One very satisfied client

American razzmatazz in Ascot
A slice of American razzmatazz arrived in Vegas showbiz style in the form of an all-American circus at Ascot Racecourse, performing in the biggest big top I have ever seen.
They had an energetic dance troupe who came on at the start in feathery swan like outfits to introduce the show with the ringmaster and included a dancing Elvis who gyrated on a platform like a two-tiered wedding cake. Drummers accompanied the dancers.
Then daredevil bikers put themselves under pressure to perform stunts such as a very noisy Globe of Death which sounded like a massive swarm of angry bees attacking each and every one of your senses.
A Strongman act was challenged to bend a bar of steel, which he did after much effort, supported with encouragement from a lively and enthusiastic audience. After a drumroll from the live band, to build anticipation and tension, a monster truck was brought out. The Strongman laid down in its path and was unbelievably runover by it! He raised himself to his feet to a tumultuous reception, though he did look a little "tyred"!
A mime artist then seconded adults from the audience to form a Mariachi Band which was very amusing as the chosen participants allowed their extravert inner selves to shine out in the spotlight.
It was an all-round excellent afternoon's family entertainment. Tickets were available from £8.00, and access was do-able i.e. it was flat but a bit soft and muddy. I recommend that children don't try any of the stunts at home.

One of the biggest mistakes business leaders can make is hastily hiring employees. After all, when it comes to job interviews, the person conducting the interview has just as much riding on their shoulders as the candidate they are interviewing. Businesses rely on a leader's ability to choose candidates that fit seamlessly into their business, and that bring the energy and expertise necessary for their business to succeed.
The difference between hiring just an adequate employee and the right employee is what separates the employee who works for your business and the employee who makes your business work. Finding the latter starts with the interview process. With that said, here are five tips from your friends at Dale Carnegie Training of Alabama to help you get the most out of your interview and the best person for the job:
1. Research The Candidate — Just as you expect your candidate to come to the interview prepared, you too should do your due diligence. Review the candidate's résumé and use it to learn more about their past employment history and their job performance. By carefully tailoring your interview questions you'll be able to gauge how well the candidate would fit at your business.
2. Avoid Snap Judgments — First impressions are a part of human nature and one of the ways we evaluate a candidate. But be careful not to use that solely to screen out a candidate. Although a person may be nervous he or she may still have a lot to offer to a prospective employer. By the same token don't overlook "red flags" you may pick up during the interview if you 'wowed' by their first impression. Reserve your judgment and continue to learn more about them before deciding whether to take the next step in the process.
3. Use Behavioral Interviewing Techniques By Asking For Anecdotes — Phrases like "team player" and "born leader" are clichés nowadays. What you really want is anecdotal evidence of how someone is a team player or a natural leader. To borrow an old, creative writing concept, you want candidates to "show, not tell."
4. Vary Your Questions — Ask a variety of questions during the interview not necessarily related to the position they are applying for. All jobs require a certain amount of adaptability, flexibility and improvisation. Test whether your candidate is able to bend with unexpected demands or likely to break under pressure.
5. Continue Evaluation — Just because the interview is over does not mean you are done with your evaluation of the candidate. After the interview, take some time away from the evaluation process. Perhaps sleep on it. This way, you keep a clear head whenever deliberating over whether a candidate would be a viable asset to your business or not.
Most importantly, try to stay focused on what matters most when interviewing a candidate. The more time and effort you put into the interviewing process and employing the techniques described above, the more likely you are to hire a perfect match for your business.

Resilient Royals triumph
Reading 3
West Brom 2
Reading manager Brian McDermott hailed the "phenomenal character, desire and resilience'' of his side after their stunning victory over West Brom.
The Baggies were in cruise control after Romelu Lukaku had put them 2-0 up but Reading scored three goals in the last nine minutes to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
Jimmy Kebe stole in at the back post to beat Ben Foster with a header before Adam Le Fondre scored a penalty and Pavel Pogrebnyak bagged the winner in dramatic late turnaround.
"It was a struggle today. We had to stay in the game and they didn't get the third goal, which would have finished the game off,'' said McDermott. "If you get a goal back, anything can happen.
"The real Reading is the last eight minutes because that is what I have seen over the last three years – a phenomenal character, desire and resilience. You don't normally win games when you are 2-0 down. We have a dressing-room that is all going in the same direction. It is a big win for us.''
For 80 minutes, Reading seemed destined to be bottom of the table after QPR's draw with Tottenham. But the unexpected victory has given impetus to their bid for top-flight survival.
"We have won two of the last three games in this league and three of the last four (in all competitions),'' added McDermott.
West Brom head coach Steve Clarke looked shellshocked after the game and he was at a loss for words to describe how the Baggies threw away such a dominant position.
"We had good control and I certainly couldn't see the finish to the game that happened,'' said Clark, who denied it was down to complacency or a sense that his players felt the game was won.
"I am disappointed. I am not sure (what happened). I can't be more honest than that. We should have scored four or five but then we lost a goal and for some reason we lost our shape and we lost our composure and conceded the two late goals that cost us the game.
"Football can be a strange game and today is one of those days.''

:: Interview with Deb Caletti
By Dominique McCafferty, Librarian
Deb Caletti's young adult novels have had brilliant success. The Queen of Everything earned a starred review in Publisher's Weekly and was also an ALA/YALSA Best Books of 2004 Finalist. Honey, Baby, Sweetheart was a National Book Award Finalist, a PEN USA Literary Award Finalist, an SLJ Best Book of the Year; a New York Public Library Best Books for the Teen Age 2005, and Kirkus called it, "tender and poetic." Wild Roses also won acclaim with starred reviews in Publisher's Weekly and School Library Journal.
And Deb Caletti has an incredibly kind heart. When I first wrote to ask her if she'd be willing to talk with me, I discovered that I'd hit "send" prematurely. I immediately sent an embarrassed follow-up and figured I'd lost my chance with Deb altogether, but she reassuringly wrote back: "First, let me say that I am one who not only sends e-mails when they are not done, but I also send e-mails to the wrong people, commit all sorts of grammatical crimes in my e-mails, and manage to find all available e-mail mishaps..." She proceeded to tell me a story which involved her accidentally sending an e-mail with her name signed, "Deb Banana."
Deb lives with her family part time on acreage in Issaquah, a Seattle suburb, and part time on a houseboat on Lake Union. Her forthcoming novel, The Nature of Jade, will be released by Simon & Schuster in February 2007.
DM: Do you remember how old you were when you started writing?
DC: I was about six when I started writing. My school used to have these required story-writing contests with a winner per grade level. If you won, you had to read your story in front of the entire school, which seems a bit cruel to me now. Later, my hippie third grade teacher used to write "Groovy!" on my stories, which made me feel I was on to something. I kept writing, and became a published lyricist when I was eighteen. My desire to write came from a love of books and reading. I am a reader before I am a writer.
DM: Did you take any writing classes in college?
DC: I took only one writing class in college, and it was the only writing class I ever took. It was enough for me to know I didn't want
to take writing classes. I felt so awkward amidst what seemed like the self-importance of the students—a self-importance that probably tried to hide a great deal of insecurity, I realize now. I did not want to read my work aloud or talk about it. I am a very private writer, and yet the professor always seemed to choose my work to read from (anonymously) and comment on very positively. I still remember my heart thudding away when I realized that hey, those were my words.
This is not to say that I don't believe in writing classes. It's just that I don't believe in them for me. I go by instinct, but I can count on my instinct. I also realized I had a lot of reading to do on craft when I started writing seriously to make up for the lack of classes, and I read everything. What really taught me were the years of being a reader.
DM: What about the writers you admire?
DC: I admire so many. Going back in time — Hemingway, Flannery O'Connor, Cheever, Updike, all the great playwrights. I also like contemporary greats—Anne Tyler, John Irving, Richard Russo, Richard Ford, Charles Baxter, Barbara Kingsolver. Also Alice Hoffman and so many others. Next on my stack is the new novel (Lost and Found) by Carolyn Parkhurst — author of The Dogs of Babel, which I loved.
DM: You will love Lost and Found. It's one of the very best novels I've read this year.
DC: I am trying to get up my nerve to read Joan Didion's Year of Magical Thinking, but I'm not sure if I can handle it.
DM: And what are you working on now, or would you rather not reveal?
DC: The book that's coming out next is The Nature of Jade. It's about a young girl who struggles with anxiety, and who begins to work at the elephant house of the Woodland Park Zoo. It's a novel about human nature and animal nature, about fear and the ways it can keep us caged. It explores the need to move on, even when that means leaving good things behind. And yeah, I'm shy about talking about what I'm working on. I'm in process, so it's still telling me what it is. I can't define it all the way yet.
DM: Is it safe to say it has something to do with the nature of love?
DC: Surprise — no. Familial love, love amongst the people who are your people, yes. But it's more about money and the things we hunger for. Just another topic I hope writing will help me better understand.
This interview took place via e-mail in spring 2006. The complete interview is scheduled for publication in the March/April 2007 issue of Public Libraries.

2016- | Frederiksværk, Denmark
Fact sheet:
Project: Building of new congregation hall
Client: The Parish Council of Frederiksværk og Vinderød
Sqm: 632 sqm
Architect: ELGAARD Architecture
Service: Competition
Status: 2nd prize
Listed: No
Type: New build
Elgaard Architecture was invited by Frederiksværk and Vinderød Parish Council to participate in the architectural competition designing a new and contemporary parish hall in Frederiksværk. The congregation hall should be open, inviting and an active hub within the town. One of the key elements of the building is the centrally located hearth around which all functions are set out. The hearth is one of the strongest and most atmospheric elements creating and amplifying a sense of belonging and fellowship among people. Sitting by the fire is a good way finding comfort, opening your senses and wanting to stay for a while. Fire is one of the five elements and has always been an essential part of our lives. The hearth of the parish hall is located so it is visually experienced as the threshold of the forest overlooking the nearest part of Frederiksværk town.
By placing the new parish hall on the threshold, where the forest and town meet the stream on the sloping terrain, a rare possibility is created: making the relationship between building and landscape particularly strong and eventful.
The new main building is orientated north south on the site and has its own axis on the sloping terrain, becoming an architectural comment to the topography and the forest as the dominating landscape element in the background. The building complex is tied together by a masonry plinth on which the buildings sits. The plinth finishes in a stepping set of stairs, forming the transition between the terrain and the building itself.

The building complex itself is made up of two building volumes: a smaller one storey flat roofed building and the main building – a rectangular-shaped house with a distinctive pitched roof, characterising the building as an easily recognisable shape within the building typology of the town.
The entrance is situated between the two building volumes and continues in a sky lit corridor, which towards the north culminates in a glazed partition providing access to the small tranquil courtyard north of the building.
On the forest side the landscape is incorporated as naturally as possible leading all the way up to the plinth, which is marked as a precise shape in the edge of the wood being raised one brick. Hereby the plinth creates a close encounter with the forest while the level change still marks the threshold to nature. Towards the parking area the set of steps invites you in and underlines the openness and kindness of the building.
Towards town, the present-day parking area is activated by planting a series of trees along the edge of Kirkegade bordering the parking area, amplifying the special connection and the direction of the street towards the entrance of the parish hall. A direct view is created from the church – the House of God – facing the new building complex – the congregation hall – where the hearth acts as point de vue from the street.
The hall is in its overall expression embedded in the tradition of the pitch roofed rectangular-shaped house, and at the same time a contemporary and modern due to the relationship between the glazed partitions, the volume of the roof, the choice of material and within the detailing. The rectangular-shaped house is a lightweight construction roofed with natural slate. The lower part of the building's facades in the southern part will be in timber and glass, whereas the northern part executed in stripped timber cladding. The plinth and the one storey building, chimney and bay window will be built in heavy materials – preferably brick faced – underlining the relationship to the church.
The main building is in two stories enabling unifying most of the functions in a clear and easily understandable building volume. The scale of the building, with its ca. 40 meters' length and ca. 9 meters' height is larger than the neighbouring buildings around Kirkegade, entirely intentional as it supports the parish hall's importance for the community and its relationship to the church at the other end of the parking area. The location, at the foot of the distinctive forest slope reduces the size of the building visually, allowing it to easily blend into the existing context.
The entrance is centrally located across from the kitchen, equally serving the professional areas of the building as well as the communal areas. On one side of the 'living room' the community hall is located and on the other side the church office. All communal spaces are located within the main building under the large pitched roof. Great care has been taken ensuring the sense of both formal and informal communities, among others the groups of volunteers caring for the people of the congregation and the professional communities at work, the groups preparing food in the kitchen and the open communities in the living room and on the terrace. The lower secondary building features all back of house functions: cloakroom, toilets, archives and storage facilities.
Besides community spaces: work stations, library, church office, minister's study, office for organist and church servant, conversation space/meeting rooms and staff areas.
In the southern part of the building, the two main community spaces are located: the lounge with the fireplace and the great hall that are located around the hearth and the lower three-meter part of the facades are open towards the forest, the stream and the town. The floor is made up of the external masonry plinth being pulled into the building, softening the shift between the inside and the outside. In the hall, the pitched ceilings make the space suitable for larger events. The closed parts of the wall above the windows are utilised for projecting, decoration and for adjusting the acoustic performance of the space. The two spaces can be separated via two folding partitions that can be stored in niches within the walls when not in use. Solar shading and black out curtains are being built into the external wall's soffit above the glazed partition as respectively external and internal roller blinds.
From both spaces, there is direct access to the terrace and the plinth on which the building sits, opening an opportunity to furnish the external spaces and using the outdoor facilities in conjunction with the halls. This way, from a visual and functional point of view, the inside and the outside merges in harmony. The spaces of the building are designed with a priority given to fundamental qualities such as good daylight, controlled visual connections, clear logistics, a simple architectural expression and a few durable materials in mind. The new building welcomes you by displaying itself as you approach it, it is easily navigable and can be understood by everyone.
The building has been designed so the ground floor primarily accommodates communal and public spaces, and first floor is intended for offices for the ministers and a space for conversation, where meetings of personal matters can take place in confidence.

Blackberry's latest phone, the Keyone has impressed the customers with its hardware keyboard. Evan Blass has tweeted the first look of the touchscreen handset, Blackberry Motion.
Last year, Blackberry had released DTEK50 which was actually produced by TCL and now the company is ready to launch its brand new Blackberry Krypton. As soon as Evan Blass has tweeted the first look of this Blackberry phone, it started attracting lots of views by various phone lovers.
As far as the technical specifications of this device are concerned, it is still not clear what TCL has planned to integrate in this All-Touchscreen phone. The external looks of this phone are quite great. It has a Blackberry logo embedded on the home button. There is a 3.5mm headphone jack which supports almost all versions of latest earpieces. Overall, the external look of this device is not like traditional Blackberry models.
When it comes to the technicalities of this product, Blackberry says that Krypton will carry a robust security software and is expected to give a 26-hour long battery life with a single charge. However, the details of this specifications have not been announced officially.
TCL Global head of sales, François Mahieu said in last August, that Blackberry Krypton would be launched this month. Also, he added that Krypton would be a water-resistant certified device.
The technicalities of this product clearly shows that Blackberry Krypton is not an ordinary Android device. Rather it is a comparatively secure Android device with good security and water-resistant hardware embedded into it. Blackberry has surprised its users in the past and it is expecting to surprise the users again.

This post has been updated.
The CEO of the Cleveland Clinic, who was approached by the White House about heading the Department of Veterans Affairs, has withdrawn his name from consideration.
Delos "Toby" Cosgrove said in a statement Saturday that he was "humbled and honored" to have been asked about the post but has decided to stay at the Cleveland Clinic.
"This has been an extraordinarily difficult decision, but I have decided to withdraw from consideration [for] this position and remain at the Cleveland Clinic due to the commitment I have made to the organization, our patients and the work that still needs to be done here," he said in the statement.
Cosgrove, a heart surgeon, served as a surgeon in the Air Force in Da Nang, Vietnam. He was awarded the Bronze Star and the Republic of Vietnam Commendation Medal.
"I am humbled and honored to have been considered for the opportunity to help Veterans across the United States. This is an enormous responsibility and one that deserved careful thought and consideration. As a physician, veteran, and hospital chief executive, I have great respect for the care provided to the Veteran community and for those who work to care for them," he said in the statement.
The White House declined to comment on Cosgrove's announcement.
Former VA secretary Eric Shinseki resigned last month after coming under criticism for weeks about the VA's inability to meet the health needs of veterans and alleged efforts by employees to cover up the problems. An independent report put out the week Shinseki resigned showed that 1,700 veterans at the Phoenix VA hospital were placed on secret wait lists and that the average veteran there had to wait an average of 115 days for an appointment.
Sloan Gibson, who served as Shinseki's deputy, is running the agency in the interim.
Cosgrove has run the Cleveland Clinic since 2004. It consistently ranks as one of the nation's best medical centers for quality service and responsiveness to patient needs. It offers same-day appointments to anyone who calls.
Cosgrove visited the White House twice in the past few years, once to discuss the Affordable Care Act with President Obama and a small group of health-care industry officials and again as part of a session organized by the Business Roundtable. Obama visited the Cleveland Clinc in 2009.
A Cleveland Clinic doctor wrote a piece in U.S. News and World Report last month urging the White House to nominate Cosgrove to bring smart management to the agency.
"I do know how to solve the problem," he wrote. "Just get Toby Cosgrove to lead the VA. (And those of us at the Cleveland Clinic hope he doesn't accept.)"
According to a report in Modern Healthcare, state inspectors for the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare services threatened to cut off the Cleveland Clinic's participation in Medicare at least three times over the past few years. One instance led to a citation for a lack of responsiveness into an investigation of claims from a retired Air Force pilot who said the wrong doctor performed his prostate cancer surgery.
According to the report CMS also cited six operating room fires in 2009 and 2010 that injured three people; surgical tools were setting skin antiseptics on fire. One theory for the cause was that operating room humidity wasn't properly adjusted to conform with fire code.
The violations were all reported to Cosgrove. According to the report he was cited for systemic management failure after not informing patients that a robot would be used in procedures.
Cleveland Clinic spokeswoman Eileen Sheil said in an e-mail that "hospitals now more than ever are under the spotlight for administrative and quality issues" and the checks and balances help hospitals improve. Sheil said the hospital, which has 5 million outpatient visits and 160,000 admissions each year, moved quickly to fix the issues.
"In each situation, we immediately addressed the issues identified and were found to be in compliance. As the vast majority of these related to internal processes, we were able to quickly resolve them," she wrote. "Some issues were related to patient care and those were also addressed to CMS's satisfaction."

Dear Folks,
One of the things that is both amusing and frustrating to Deane is pruning the deciduous trees.
But first make sure you take precautions with the coming hard frost here in the valley. See my google letter to readers for tips and information.
Click here.
Back to pruning the trees. The key to pruning the trees is first you look for all the leaves to fall which indicates the sap has stop running and you want to get the pruning done before the new flower-future fruit buds form. Except here in the valley where you are supposed to go out and talk to the trees and find out when they are going to drop their leaves.
The fig tree after a cool couple of nights and days decided around December 7th to drop all of its leaves in 3 days! Sitting in the little outdoor breakfast nook, I commented that we needed to eat in a hurry so we would not be buried in the leaves.
The peaches and the apricots, on the other hand, like to hang on to all of their leaves, or at least most of them well into mid to late December or even January all the while happily putting out new flower buds.
The thought of cutting off all of that potential fruit is enough to make an rancher/orchardist like Deane cry, but as we lost 3 trees this year, most likely to old age, a deep pruning was called for and he girded his loins (actually getting into old sweats) and proceeded to remonstrate the trees for clues on the best branches to take off.
The result was a pruned tree still holding onto its leaves!
Oh and all that pruned wood? The trailer ready to go to the landfill where they transform the branches and twigs into mulch was a masterpiece worthy of a peasant of good sturdy stock and his hard work.
Tips For Pruning:
1) Most pruning of stone fruit trees should be completed before the first of the year, so as to minimize cutting out potential fruit.
2) Most experts recommend a 'vase' shaped configuration, removing crossing branches and opening the center of the trees to allow maximum air flow and light.
3) Citrus while evergreen can occasionally use a pruning, mostly to remove dead limbs, HOWEVER, many commercial citrus growers will allow dead limbs - if not a safety issue, to stay on the tree to support fruit-bearing branches. Prune Citrus before late January/early February flowering.
4) When pruning try for a downward facing cut so that rain and moisture cannot collect on the cut edges.
Fruit Thinning:
It is a bit early for this tip but you should have the information handy. The reality of thinning stone fruits is while it seems wasteful to pick off every 2 or 3 young fruit, you will protect the tree in the long run. We have once or twice not gotten the fruit thinned and the result was broken branches from the weight of all the moisture ladened fruit. Also the resulting fruit is very small.
The general recommendation is about 6 inches between remaining fruit. If that is too much for you to deal with, try picking out all but 1 peach out of each cluster, but do watch the weight of the branches. It is not uncommon to see heavy branches supported with a 2 by 4.
Have a safe and Happy New Year, keep warm, take care of the plants, family and pets, and I will have more information to you next year!
