Above is our first non-zombie production photo from the set of AMC's The Walking Dead, a forthcoming series based on Robert Kirkman's acclaimed comic book. It's of Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes, the police officer who serves as the main protagonist in Kirkman's tale of a post-apocalyptic, zombie-ravaged planet. This photo arrives at a pretty good time for me, as I just finished reading all 72 current issues of the comic this afternoon, and I watched Frank Darabont's The Mist last night.
The comic book is, in a word, incredible. But here are some more words: harrowing, gutsy, terrifying, devastating. Many comic book ads tout the adage "No one is safe," but The Walking Dead is one of the few series where I actually believe it. It is possibly the most risk-taking comic I've ever read. It'll be a tall order to adapt, and I hope the TV show is just as ballsy (considering it's on AMC, home of Mad Men and Breaking Bad, I think it's found a safe home). As for The Mist, well, Frank Darabont wrote and directed that Stephen King adaptation, and though the plots are very different (where The Walking Dead has zombies, The Mist has impenetrable fog and otherworldly beasts), certain elements reminded me of The Walking Dead. The film almost entirely takes place in a small grocery store, the customers forming different allegiances and trying to survive. It's much less about the monsters than it is about the double-sided nature of humanity, what it takes for some to become heroes and others to become dictators, and what the line is between the two.
How was the movie, you ask? …Interesting. There were parts that I loved, and the last ten minutes are utterly awe-inspiring, but there were also a lot of other parts that felt ordinary. Which is how Frank Darabont projects usually feel. Don't get me wrong, I think The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile are great–and The Majestic was unjustly maligned–but they all feel rather ordinary. Which is probably why Shawshank is currently the #1 movie on the IMDb top 250, ahead of The Godfather, Citizen Kane, Persona, Seven Samurai…well, every single other movie ever made. It's also why, personally, I love the movie but could never call it a masterpiece. And there's definitely a lot of ordinariness in The Mist. The characters are all real and down-to-earth in Darabont style, but big chunks of the movie feel fairly conventional and though I'm not one to underestimate the inherent cruelness of the human mind unleashed in the event of supernatural tragedy, the rise of Marcia Gay Harden's Mrs. Carmody from tolerated Jesus freak to evil, bitchtastic spiritual leader felt a little quick and over-the-top. (Though, as much of a King fan as I am, if there was anyone who would enact that rapid character progression, it's him.)
So I don't know. I hope Darabont does a good job, and he has a fine track record. If he can sustain the feeling of overwhelming hopelessness and despair of The Mist's final ten minutes, then I think he's got a chance to do something great with The Walking Dead. Robert Kirkman is certainly excited about the series, and this interview with Darabont is encouraging. So I'm putting aside my doubts, instead waiting for the high-quality AMC product we've grown accustomed to.

Coming home....
15th Mar 2012
My work follows the seasons. I suppose the season's rule me. In Winter the pilgrimage to Scotland, Spring and early Summer in the Peak District and North Wales, Summer expeditions, Autumn back in the Peak District or occasionally to somewhere exotic and then the lead in to winter when the cycle begins again…
I love it. Just as I'm ready for a change – there is one. Just as I'm ready to hang up my crampons…..the gritstone calls. Each year is a journey with the comforting and familiar mixed with the new and exploratory.
At the moment it's Spring in the Peak District. The winter kit is back in storage, the air temperature is rising nicely and, since my return, I've been blessed with some stunning blue sky days that cry out to be celebrated with outdoor adventure.
The first course I ran after getting back to the High Peak was a Learn to Lead course. This is always one of my favourite courses and the Peak District is, without question, the best place anywhere to run them. The best choice of venues, amazing climbs of all types, crags that are easily accessible and, of course, stunning locations. Sam, Mandy and I had a great couple of days on sun drenched rock. A perfect welcome home.
A quick nip down to South Wales to run a site-specific climbing wall course for the RAF and then I moved on to some mountain biking. A kids group in the Derwent Valley and a group of southern raiders from London on the Kinder loop. More sunshine, more laughs and a chance to ride my humble Orange alongside some 5K dream machines. Loved it.
At the start of this week I spent 2 more peachy weather days running some Island Peak preparation with Annie and Kevin. They are leaving for their adventure in a few weeks and I loved sharing their enthusiasm and teaching them some of the technical skills they'd need to achieve their goal. We may have looked pretty crazy jumaring between boulders at Burbage North but we knew the full picture (this was work for Pure Outdoor).
I'm now in the middle of an Outdoor First Aid course and the sun continues to shine. The participants sat outside enjoying the sun at lunchtime, resuscitated and bandaged on the grass and I got to drive home in stunning sunshine and call for a cheeky 40 minute boulder at Curbar.
In between all that there's been a lot of meetings about various exciting new developments. Our website continues to take shape slowly but surely. Cal is working on this whenever she can (in between finding time for sport climbing holidays in Spain!). We have progressed the plans for this Summers Envirotrek and also moved forward with the planning for this year's Himalayan expeditions.
We are also delighted to welcome our new marketing assistant to the team. Charlie will initially be working on some new publicity leaflets and taking control of distributing information to local providers. It's great to have her on board. Bookings for the Peak District Outdoor and Walking Festival continue to come in steadily. We are really excited about this celebration of Peak District adventure and it's great to be involved.
It's been a great year so far. There's a great year ahead and there's a world of adventure available. Please come and join the fun.

Abbasi Hotel
The Abbasi Hotel is overlooked by the exquisite dome and minarets of the Madraseh-e-Chahar Bagh and is centred on a stunning 300 year old royal caravanserai. Formerly called the Shah Abbas Hotel, in honour of the Isfahan's great 17th century ruler, the Abbasi has as its focal point a lovely Persian garden, which is complete with playing fountains, cooling water lined avenues, brightly planted flower beds, and ivy covered palm trees. Complementing the gardens, and vying with them for your attention, are the Abbasi's grand public areas which were designed to impress the last Shah of Iran's guests. The beautiful mirror work, glittering chandeliers, and exquisite wall paintings with motifs taken from the palaces of the Safavid kings could be an art gallery in its own right
Having 225 rooms including 23 suites and seven well-furnished apartments, the Abbassi Hotel is prepared to receive and capable of providing comfort to both local and foreign guests arriving individually or in groups. Among the facilities of the hotel mention can be made of the Grand Auditorium equipped with the latest audio - visual aids accommodating 500 people. Other facilities include multi-purpose rooms with various capacities for holding ceremonies and seminars, such fancy restaurants as Chehelsotun, Firuzeh and Naqshe-jahan
Sports-recreational complex, a covered swimming pool, handicrafts stores, a barber shop, a phone cab service and a medical service.

This technique is known as Collagen Induced Technique (CIT). All this is a very complex process, but the principle is quite easy to understand.
In micro-needling, we simply utilize the body's self-healing mechanisms. It reacts to the intrusion of micro-needles like it would react to any other skin penetrating object. But the difference is the size of the object – the micro-needle. The intrusion of tiny surgical needles (provided they are professionally designed) is sensed by skin nerve receptors as an injury stimulus. But the needles are so fine and thin that tissue damage is unlikely.
The skin integrity actually stays intact. However, this "nerve-stimulus", transported by electrical signals, triggers the cascade of the healing process.
Skin cells, in a radius of 1 to 2 mm around the pricking channel, release growth signals to undifferentiated cells. These signals in return stimulate the proliferation of new cells, e.g. fibroblasts to transform into collagen and elastin fibers. The task of fibroblasts is to migrate to the point of intrusion for wound closure.
And here comes the trick: The pricking channels, caused by the micro-needles, close very quickly and no tissue lesion can be detected, and none has to be repaired.
The transformation for wound repair cells (e.g. fibroblasts and others) is an automatic process – like a one-way road. Their final mission is to transform into collagen fibers.
They integrate into the existing collagen formation in the upper dermis. This new fiber formation – in terms of many hundred percent – thickens the skin and fills former atrophic scars.
As single needle prick is not worth mentioning. But if thousands of microscopic small needle-pricks are set, the induced collagen formation becomes confluent and forms a new collagen layer. This body reaction is called neo-collagenesis.
In addition, the inner cells that coat our vessels (endothelial cells), and in particular these of our capillaries, are also stimulated to proliferate. They react to this stimulation by sprouting out new capillaries that in return results in more and better blood supply of the skin. This reaction is called neo-angiogenesis.
The result is new regenerated skin in the treated area. This technique is used to treat wrinkles, hyper pigmentation and scars. There is no downtime and 2 or 3 treatments are recommended per year.
Best results are seen when microneedling combined with PRP.

I've recently completed my final university exams and I used some time in my month off to travel in Germany. The country is an excellent showcase for creative artists and I have decided to write a couple of articles on some of the best artists that caught my eye. First up is OSKar (Optics Students Karlsruhe) who were exhibiting photos in Karlsruhe Hauptbahnhof.
Pascal Casper created this fantastic coloured feather shot using a long exposure (0.8s) on a feather falling in front of a colourful looped power point presentation. The slides changed every 0.25 seconds and Casper explains that the different colours add a time dimension.
Lumenman creates 'lightplanets' using exposure times in the range of 1-5 minuets. I originally expected that the near perfect balls were created with a similar technique to Jerome Mungapen however it appears that they really are created by swinging lights around in a sphere in a dark room!
He employed the same technique outside in front of the aurora borealis to create this fabulous neon flavoured landscape.
Finally 'Jealousy' by Diliz is a humorous piece envisaged to fit the location. Diliz snuck into the temple at night past security in order to get the shot he had imagined.
Remember you can follow me here on WordPress or on Facebook . Check out the rest of my posts using the categories on the left or at my homepage. More to come from Germany soon!

Renegotiating Brand Promises: How to Survive in a Ever-Changing World?
The world is always changing. Similar to how we expect our idols to never change as a bullwark against the unknown, so do we cling to brands. Brands are monumental. Brands outlive their creators, brands change hands, brands like Coca Cola have been around for over a century. Brands are things you trust your life and livelihood with.
People believe in brands, positively or negatively. There is never any mistake, in the minds of the true believers, what the brand promise is even if it is unspoken. Chic-Fil-A and Papa John's found themselves in the middle of a political firestorm where their consumer base was split down the middle and demanding one side be chosen. There are, however, times when society makes demands the brands cannot or should not withstand. The problem is that brand promises are just that: promises. People count on them.
You can't stay the same as the world changes around you without a negotiated truth.
Evolve, Pivot, Rediscover, or Perish
Some of the world's most profitable and enduring companies have achieved their long track record of success by reinventing themselves. Sears was a perfect example of this. A classic example of a business that failed to adapt to the point where it nearly destroyed them are the large music studios during the rise of Napster and the MP3 boom. What makes that even better is it's a recent example of organizations that attempted to fight against organic social change and nearly destroyed all good faith in the process. Now the general public not only dislikes the, but sees them as disconnected dinosaurs.
Accepting harsh realities becomes easier when faced with extinction.
Harder challenge comes with brands who are trying to stay ahead of the curve predicting social trends or capitalizing on them. Realizing you need to shift focus before you're bankrupt, this is especially important for small businesses and startups.A brand promise has the momentum of truth, a slogan is just an ad for the brand promise. Click To Tweet
Pivoting is altering what you are offering, evolving is changing who you are, and rediscovering is what happens when you've lost control of your brand. Rediscovering your brand promise and perhaps reverting back to an older version to remind everyone of who you are is especially difficult because it seems counter-intuitive to evolution, but we're not talking about dinosaurs into birds here. A brand isn't a different species, it is a community, – it is human – and sometimes reconnecting with the past is the only way to move forward. For legacy companies – confident companies – it's easy to forget. That's where we discover hubris.
In the above examples, we can imagine a person trying to figure out where they fit in the world and how they can be of service to it. For humans, this changes across the span of one's entire life, why should it be different for organizations created by people, maintained by people, interacting with people, and existing in service to people?
Embrace the Value of Truth
If you asked anybody what Google's brand promise is, you'd probably get two answers: being the largest repository of information on the planet, and "Don't be Evil." The latter changed recently, and there's rumblings of the former changing as well. That's not a coincidence. What is Google's brand promise right now? Does anybody believe in Google?
Everybody demands truth, but hardly anybody could define what the truth is if asked. The roots of truth extend down to the very soul of our begins and the societies we create, but it's difficult to grab. Developing a brand promise requires identifying a central truth about the brand and communicating it. Promises can change, but the truth must stay the same. That's what separates a brand promise from a slogan. A brand promise has the momentum of truth, a slogan is just an ad for the brand promise. When Billy Corgan goes on Joe Rogan Experience to discuss the appeal of Axl Rose being total freedom – or similarly, Kanye West – that is a truth that goes beyond the minutiae of specific actions.
It would be easy for Google to hold steady in a rapidly changing world if they knew what evil was so they knew not what to be. "Don't be Evil" was what separated Google from Altavista, but Google didn't understand the truth about evil, really. That runs to the core of our spirituality and ethic and mythological substructures. But if they did know, if they put the work into defining what evil was and what they were choosing not to be? People might still believe in them, instead of just being ubiquitous. There's a big difference.

Change! No … Wait! Stay the Same!
The best way to know your brand promise is rock solid is having to change.
Many brands evolve over time out of sheer survival just so they can exist within the new social paradigm. Some – like tobacco – change due to regulation and government intervention. Others, like McDonalds and other fast food companies, are forced to adapt to an increasingly health-conscious marketplace. Your community will be the barometer, megaphone, and ambassador for the world at large. As long as you support and engage with this microcosm, you will have all the tools you need to negotiate your way through a changing world.
There's no question that businesses evolve their practices over time; unionization, the 40 hour work week, paternity leave, acceptable office conduct; what often start as optional benefits can become social norms within a generation and organizations have to adapt to retain their employees and attract the best talent. In the same vein, brands are forced to keep up with social norms from external stakeholders. A PepsiCo VP claimed that brands have to think about their place in society, stating "brands need to think about the impact they have on society and culture. […] They have the power to change culture, especially when there's a need and a vacancy."
In the highly politicized, highly divided, highly emotional world we live in where lists of demands come from every conceivable political group, faith, and identity, it's easy to become paralyzed. But keep in mind: even rebelling against a rapidly changing society by refusing to play entirely requires acknowledging reality and being strategic about it. You don't get to pretend that it's not happening, and it's one of the reason brands must adopt the community model.
For your organization, you may not have the social capital – the community – for people to petition you to change. You might not have built up a community of people invested in you. They may be more likely to abandon you without warning if you haven't adapted and it's your job to figure out where the tremors began.
A genuine brand promise grows out of a well understood truth that is manifested as a goal and delivered on, a well understood truth that people can identify with. A brand promise is just a slogan without it. Whether or not you need to pivot to survive, rebrand to adapt, or rediscover to regain control, remember the phrase to carve through the chaos: the momentum of truth.

When it comes to measuring an institution's financial fortitude, capital is essential. It acts as a buffer against losses and affords protection for members when a credit union is experiencing financial instability. When it comes to safety and soundness, more capital is better.
On our test to measure capital adequacy, LOCAL UNION 1186 IBEW received a score of 14 out of a possible 30 points, coming in below the national average of 15.65.
LOCAL UNION 1186 IBEW's capitalization ratio of 14.00 percent in our test was below the average for all credit unions, an indication that it's on less solid financial footing than its peers.
This test's purpose is to estimate how the credit union's loan loss reserves and overall capitalization could be affected by problem assets, such as unpaid loans.
Having lots of these kinds of assets could eventually force a credit union to use capital to absorb losses, decreasing its buffer of equity. It also means that there are likely to be many assets that are in non-accrual status and no longer earning interest for the credit union, resulting in lower earnings and potentially more risk of a failure in the future.
LOCAL UNION 1186 IBEW scored 40 out of a possible 40 points on Bankrate's test of asset quality, beating out the national average of 38.09.
A lower-than-average ratio of troubled assets of 0.00 percent in our test was potentially indicative of greater financial strength than other credit unions.
A credit union's earnings performance affects its long-term survivability. A credit union can retain its earnings, expanding its capital cushion, or use them to address problematic loans, likely making the credit union more resilient in tough times. Losses, on the other hand, diminish a credit union's ability to do those things.
LOCAL UNION 1186 IBEW scored 0 out of a possible 30 on Bankrate's earnings test, falling short of the national average of 10.11.
One sign that LOCAL UNION 1186 IBEW is outperforming its peers in this area was its earnings ratio of 0.00 percent in our test, better than the average for all credit unions.
Bankrate.com's Safe & Sound Ratings provide a star rating system to evaluate the current financial status of financial institutions. The information gathered about banks, credit unions and thrifts is updated as set forth in the Terms of Use of Safe & Sound Ratings and Reports. The Safe & Sound Ratings information is grouped by categories of banks, thrifts and credit unions.
Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a one- to five-star rating for each with five stars representing the highest rating. Institutions with satisfactory performance will generally receive a rating of three or more stars. The majority of institutions fall into the three- to four-star range. An institution with an "NR" rating may be too new to rate or may have limited the publicly available information in their regulatory filings. The "NR" is not an indication of financial strength or weakness. The Safe & Sound rating is believed to be reliable, but the information is not guaranteed. In addition, events since the information was collected may have altered the institution's financial condition.

Perturbation of data
To minimise the risk of identifying individuals in aggregate statistics, a technique is used to randomly adjust cell values. This technique is called perturbation. Perturbation involves small random adjustments of the statistics and is considered the most satisfactory technique for avoiding the release of identifiable statistics while maximising the range of information that can be released. These adjustments have a negligible impact on the underlying pattern of the statistics.
The introduction of these random adjustments results in tables not adding up. Randomly adjusted individual cells will be consistent across tables, but the totals in any table will not be the sum of the individual cell values. The size of the difference between summed cells and the relevant total will generally be very small, as demonstrated below.
(Sum of cells = 390,467 + 410,293 = 800,760. Difference of 1 relative to displayed total.)
Table suppression
Some tables generated within TableBuilder may contain a substantial proportion of very low counts within cells (excluding cells that have counts of zero). When this occurs, all values within the table are suppressed in order to preserve confidentiality. The following error message displayed at the bottom of the table indicates when table suppression has occurred.
'ERROR: The table has been suppressed as it is too sparse'.

Thanks to a new state law designed to keep insurance costs ostensibly under control, California's largest "non-profit" health insurer Blue Shield has for the first time released the salaries of its 10 highest-paid executives. Top earner: CEO Bruce Bodaken, who made $4.6 million last year. His counterpart at Anthem Blue Cross, the state's largest for-profit insurer, made a mere $800,000-plus, with stock options. Blue Shield called it "competitive." We call it obscene. And dare we ask: With all that, how's your coverage?

The Long Green offers one of the best runs in Maryland to the lucky paddlers who catch it when it is running, which is very seldom. A long, heavy rain is required to make this creek runable. Both times that I have caught it, it had rained all night long and most of the morning (I think it was about 3-5 inches of rain total). There is a stick gage for the creek; it is located right above the second drop and is visible from the road. The first time I ran it, the level was about 1 inch below the top of the gage and was a great run. The second time I ran it, the gage was underwater and it was still rising - the water was VERY pushy on that run. I am guessing that it is runable down to 4 inches below the top of the gage. Any lower and it would be very bony I think.
Put-in is where Glen Arm crosses over the creek
The Long Green dumps into the GunPowder River, so the best take-out is Jones Road on the Lower GunPowder River, because if The Long Green is up, The GunPowder will be kicking! You can also take-out at the US1/Belair Road bridge if you don't want to run the Lower GunPowder
The first two drops can be scouted from the road that runs beside the creek. You can easily eddie-out above the rest of the drops to scout. Be sure to scout every rapid - strainers get stuck in the drops frequently!! Also be sure to watch out for low hanging vines that like to snag unsuspecting paddlers!!
(If anyone knows any other names for these, let me know)
Pinball - this is the first drop, which is only about 10 yards downstream from the put-in. This is about a 15 foot drop in total, follow the tongue down on river right and then the water bounce you down the rest of the way.0
Pillow - this is the second drop, which can be seen from the road. It is basically a 10 foot waterfall that has a really nice soft pillowy landing. Run just to the right of the rock in the center at the top.
Boof Rock - (AKA "Baltimore's Best Boof") This is a really fun one - this is five foot drop with a really nice boof on river left. Stick close to river left (about 1 foot off the shore), avoiding the nasty folding current and then make a quick right after the folding current and boof! This can also be run on tight river right, but the boof on that side isn't as good.
ChowderHole - This is about a15 foot total drop with mean hole at the bottom. Run from river left to right and the try to boof off the center of the rock at the bottom and plow through/over the hole.
The rest of the run has several other small drops, most of which aren't too difficult. (by Daniel Anderson)
I scouted this a few weeks ago and have 1 question: when this would be at a runnable level, do you portage Harford Rd.? Is there a reliable eddy to pull out in? The rest of this looks fantastic!
Just ran Long Green two days ago at 2.6 I would say anything above 2.5 is runable. The flow came completly from snow melt so you don't always need rain for it to run.
Check the gauge at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/md/nwis/uv?01584050.
A reasonable minimum is around 2.5-2.6, although this is an estimate. More info is needed.
It's worth noting that the drop called Pillow (above) forms a very powerful hydraulic at higher levels that most people seem to underestimate. A person could easily drown here, so be careful--it is very sticky at high levels.
Also, the last rapid down by the Gunpowder has a very serious hole, too. Failure to ace the rapids above it could also have fatal consequences. Once, when I had to lie flat on my boat to get under the first concrete bridge above the first drop, I carried the entire final section of rapids with no regrets. Yes, this creek does sometimes get too high! Be careful!

Accepting the Job After giving your Potential employer your Counter provide along with some supporting facts, you'll need to convey you may accept the occupation if they take your offer. When you're given a job, first ask for some chance to think about the offer. Be Patient whenever you are interviewing for employment and need to go over salary, be patient.

In the event that you know you are thinking about receiving the job, take some time to rate the work deal to be totally certain that the position is best for you.
In case the salary negotiated is exactly what you asked for, then you Might not drive as hard attempting to negotiate for different conditions. Salary isn't the only means to raise your earnings. If you believe the salary you're supposed to get for a predetermined period of time is too low compared to the services and commitment you ought to provide and give to the organization as well as your occupation feature, then it is just fine to compose a salary negotiation letter. Evidently, you always need to look beyond salary when making a career decision. Be informed that your probability of having your wages increased mainly is dependent upon your performance as an employee.
Another thing you have got to explicitly mention is the Amount which you would like your salary to be that higher management will be aware of your intentions. Salary is only the very first measure of what you can negotiate from the approach. As an example, you may want to include exactly what the typical salary in the company is for the form of position you were provided.

Never include motives like the wages offer may not supply The lifestyle that you need and other things that doesn't give focus on what you might offer in yield of a larger salary. You ought to have a job offer before it's likely to negotiate. If you've already got a job offer, it's essential to analyze the job that you're tasked to do and the wages which you will be covered.

Invite your employer to establish a meeting in which you will Be in a position to examine the negotiation further. You'll learn what items to do before, during and following salary negotiations.

A lot of people don't wish to write a salary negotiation letter since it's equally intimidating and uncomfortable.
Some colleges have recently begun to send all Statements into an External organization to check at the creativity of Statements. If you are considering graduate school, just bear in mind who you should request LoRs and inquire exactly what they process normally entails. Again, write down precisely what you want to escape from grad school. Graduate schools desire to realize that you're in a place to create relationships with your superiors. Overall, it's an awesome experience, particularly if you decide to go overseas. It felt like a challenge I had been ready to fulfill. It's different from Colleges and demands a lot more self-directed and independent study.
Based on the size of this program, some colleges hold several Weekends and let you choose when you would like to travel. They also request that you write your Statement yourself, independently. Or perhaps you already graduated and are seeking to return in school. Each school is going to have a test score they wish to see. You do not have to be absolutely certain you would like to go to graduate school to become involved in study because the skills you are likely to learn from the laboratory will be invaluable no matter your next career steps. During your freshman year or once you begin to feel that you may want to go to grad school, you need to approach college to enter their laboratory during the academic calendar year.
If you're Considering graduate schools and want to chat More, do not be afraid to reach out! Additionally, you may think about approaches to best prepare yourself for graduate school. Grad School could be costly! Oftentimes, graduate schools will request that you cope with a few queries in your SoP.
Simply make certain someone proofreads what you are sending to A composing program. In case you aren't admitted or not able to defer or just don't want to commit to a particular app still, you are likely to have draft program which is going to be much simpler to edit than starting from scratch after being away from school for quite some time. Occasionally it may be challenging to get accepted to the very best summer programs if you do not own a prior search experience, so it is wise to find some expertise in your house institution as early as you can. Summer applications aren't nine-to-five jobs, they are a commitment to the laboratory and you are predicted to fulfill that commitment. To put it differently, summer research programs may provide you the confidence to become a graduate student and subsequently, an outstanding and productive scientist.
A reference letter is comparable to a recommendation letter From company. Although handwritten letters are a great gesture, they often get lost and you are not as likely to find a response. Recommendation letter is merely one of the influential parameter that carries appreciable weightage for some of your application package. What's more, it is significantly simpler to ask and manage letters of recommendation whilst still at the university by way of your faculty. All my letters of recommendation also needs to be turned in by that moment. A recommendation letter from company can make a big difference at a candidate's likelihood of obtaining a new job or a seat in a reputable educational institution.
If you did study with somebody, it Will be Expected they write one of your own letters. Know your study is exceptional. So you've finished the study. If you discover that their present-day research doesn't interest you, then tell them what you are searching for and ask a recommendation.
You need to check with yours early in the application Procedure to find out what both the cost and lead time would be. Meet five Linfield alumni that are in the custom of or have graduated from several masters programs within the previous ten years. The grad school entrance procedure is a holistic strategy.
In a graduate program, You'll Be working very closely With your professors on a particular research topic, they will want to approve. Professors likely aren't likely to want to write the letter during summer time, but too late into the school year that they are too preoccupied for it. Last, the professor walked . You undergraduate professors will be able to aid you with the approach!
Ensure you meet and speak with faculty in all of the regions of Research you'll be considering. At the event the student would like to apply To more than one program, a good idea is to apply to numerous universities. Being An undergraduate student is stressful enough, therefore we wish to maintain a Position to help you on the road. A lot of future graduate students know of What it is they ought to do but how no clue how to approach it.

In recent years, the HMRC has raised concerns regarding the potentially lengthy delay between the sale of a buy-to-let property and the payment of capital gains tax (CGT), which has led to them working towards a more 'real time' payment of this bill.
Here, we take a look at the changes in more detail…
What is CGT?
When landlords sell a buy-to-let residential property, they are required to pay this tax.
A person earn £11,700 before paying any tax, and for anything above this, basic-rate tax payers will be charged 18% on the amount. If deciding to invest the money in shares or bonds then a lower rate of 10% applies.
When do landlords pay CGT?
Currently, the payment can be postponed until a landlord files their tax return for the year, which could be more than 22 months after the house is sold.
In April 2015 the rule was changed for non-resident homeowners selling UK properties, where they had to both report the disposal and pay the CGT within 30 days of completion.
HMRC are now proposing to expand these requirements to all UK resident buy-to-let house owners by April 2020 – meaning the CGT will have to be paid within 30 days. To complicate things even further, under the current system the clock starts ticking to pay the bill once contracts have been exchanged, but under the changes it would start once the sale has been completed.
There is widespread concern that the new rules will drastically reduce the amount of time that landlords have to work out and pay their tax bill. CGT calculations can be complex on their own without this additional pressure, and sellers will need to ensure they collate details relating to the purchase, enhancements costs and any periods of occupation well in advance of the sale.
We hope that this has clearly outlined the changes, so that you can better understand them when they come into effect over the next couple of years. Landlords can expect more news and shifts throughout the tax year, so keep your eyes peeled!
If you would like any additional property advice, please feel free to get in touch with one of our property experts in the Applegate office.

ERROL PUTMAN: Life for the underclass is difficult
Dear editor,
I don't get it. Rather than go after Wall Street bankers, corporate farmers, and oil companies, we target the poor, those least able to defend themselves.
We do this as a means of public policy. This past winter the state of Michigan reduced the heating allowance of the indigent. More recently, elements in Congress plotted to reduce subsidies for food stamps and the free and reduced school lunch program.
The disdain reflected in the actions of our governments toward the poor, is often similarly hyped by some in the media and espoused by far too many in the public arena.
Unfortunately, I have seen little change over the past fifty plus years in either understanding or compassion for those less fortunate.
My father worked hard, long punishing hours at meager wages with not a single cent in overtime pay; one of the disadvantages of not having a union. To add to an already dismal situation, he frequently found himself laid off during the winter months.
Money was often scarce during these periods; it was not unusual that I'd be sent to school on Monday morning and told to charge my lunches for the week.
On one such occasion, my teacher chose to make my lunch charges an issue. I had not paid for the previous week's charges and she upbraided me for it in front of my classmates, a humiliating experience. Thereafter, if I didn't have lunch money on Monday morning—I simply did not eat.
There were also those few occasions when my father's unemployment ran out and he had to make a hardship request for assistance. In return, he received a voucher he could redeem at a grocery store.
Since I was the oldest of four children, I accompanied my father to pick up the welfare order and do the shopping.
With pencil and paper in hand, my father and I walked up and down the aisles of the grocery store together, my father carefully recording the price of each item, working to stay within the bounds of the voucher. He made several decisions, switching one brand for another that was less expensive, selecting items that contained the most volume for the price, constantly looking for sale items, etc.
My strongest recollection of this experience occurred on one occasion when we were checking out and our checker held up the welfare order in her hand and yelled across the store to another checker, "Hey, we got another one of these."
I turned and looked at my father, a proud man. He just dropped his chin to his chest and looked down, didn't say a word. I hated this degrading system. I didn't think much of the checker either.
Life for the underclass is difficult enough, complete with more than its share of degradation and humiliation. They do not need additional contempt nurtured by outside forces be it government, the media, or their own neighbors, to add to their woes.
Dr. Errol Putman

Hi All, This is FYI. To accelerate the API standardization process we can use some tools. As you know BONDI uses widl format (WebIDL + doxygen). http://bondi.omtp.org/1.0/apis/BONDI_Interface_Patterns_v1.0.html#dox It has its problems, but it helped us a lot. We could discuss first the patterns and document format, e.g. XML-based. This is planned already for BONDI. In ACCESS I prepared a tool that helped me ensure some quality aspect of the BONDI specs. It is known as API database approach, since one of the intermediate format is a database that enables SQL queries to the spec. The output is e.g. here: http://bondi01.obe.access-company.com/1_0_3309_41/ The tool enables me to prepare specification checkers, one of them is here: http://bondi01.obe.access-company.com/1_0_3309_41/checker_versions.html (it checks whether version of the widl file was specified correctly) Another nice aspect are the statistics: http://bondi01.obe.access-company.com/1_0_3309_41/stats.html I assume a tool, format, etc. could help the group concentrate on the real problems and the syntactical issue could be spotted more easily.

text: Teachers of refugees: a review of the literature Emily Richardson with Leonora MacEwen Ruth Naylor Ruth Naylor Senior International Consultant From observing open air lessons in South Sudan to crunching education data in spreadsheets, understanding how to help marginalised children learn, especially girls and children affected by conflict, has been the driving motivation behind Ruth's career. Moving from teacher, to trainer, to researcher and adviser, Ruth is now Education Development Trust's expert on girls' education, education in conflict affected countries, and monitoring and evaluation in education development. Education Development Trust and IIEP UNESCO joined forces to conduct a much-needed review of the main aspects of management relating to teachers of refugees – from recruitment to certification and professional development as well as incentives and retention. The review concludes that context is key. For displaced populations, realising their legal rights, where afforded, can be challenging when international frameworks have not been ratified or adapted into national legal frameworks. It can be equally difficult when legal frameworks are poorly integrated into social service policies, plans and strategies (e.g. within national education sector plans). Also, research is needed to understand what host governments managing large refugee populations have done to reconcile the tensions between their international obligations and their capacities to fulfil these. Relatedly, research is needed on how the Global Compact on Refugees will affect government capacity to effectively manage teachers of refugees. Overall, we need to learn more about how to provide education to refugee children by better exploring examples of teacher management models. The review also concludes that much of the literature indicates that teachers from the refugee community are best placed to teach, or should at least be a part of education provision. Indeed, host countries are aware of this, and are utilising refugees to support national teachers, as is the case to some extent in Jordan, Lebanon, Kenya and Turkey. Nevertheless, in most contexts more and more national teachers are teaching refugees, with very limited support and preparation. Fragmented information on refugee teachers, coupled with a lack of information on host teachers charged with refugee students' education, points to a need for more research. Issues like the portability of certification and adequate pay are important management factors for both refugee and national teachers. Yet, beyond these issues, there are few studies that critically analyse teachers' perceptions. A wider study of how teachers of refugees perceive their selection and management would go a long way to ensuring policies and programmes are appropriate, effective and sustainable.

What Baby Swing Should I Get For My Colic Baby?
Colic in babies is a condition in which a baby cries for a prolonged time without any apparent reason. Baby Colic mostly starts a few weeks after birth and reaches its peak between weeks 4 and 6. By the time the baby is 3-4 months old, colic considerably dies down. However, for first-time parents, dealing with colic can be stressful. Unfortunately, there is no treatment for baby colic. Parents can, however, do certain things to soothe their babies and avoid any possible triggers. Baby Swings are a huge help in dealing with colic babies.
How do baby swings help with a colic baby?
A baby swing can be a boon to first-time parents struggling with a colic baby. How do baby swings help with a colic baby? The answer is simple. Within the mother's womb, babies experience a lot of motion and get used to it. Once they are out in the real world, they crave this motion and often cry when they miss the feeling of being in their mother's womb. A baby swing can bring a crying giving instant comfort by giving them the secure feeling of a mother's womb by inducing the same motion.
Similarly, swaddling is essential too. To an adult, swaddling may seem like a terrible thing to do to someone, but babies enjoy being swaddled. It gives them the comfort provided by their mother's womb. However, do not wrap your child too tightly; they should always be able to wiggle their arms and legs out.
If you are looking for a baby swing for your colic baby, remember to look …Read More →

Without even realising, many of us are living lives that are not aligned with our authentic self. We are playing roles to fit in, modifying ourselves to get love, and wearing masks to suppress what we truly feel and believe.
Embracing Life's Cycles: Stories On Grief, Love, Resilience, Expansion & Purpose (AR #72)
Today's podcast episode is a personal update from me filled with stories of what I have been learning, working through and discovering over the path month. It is a deep conversation filled with lessons on grief, love, loss, receiving, expansion, spiritual faith, alignment and living on purpose.
While what I have been moving through during this time has been incredibly difficult, it has also been very healing. I have come to realise, that every challenge life hands us has the potential to transform us in the most profound way, if we will allow it.
The depth of my pain and grief cracked my heart open to new levels of love, and supported me to experience even greater expansion. It has deepened my spiritual faith and taught me how to bounce back from setbacks and re-align with the light.
At the end of the day, life is going to always handle us challenges. So, our power lies, not in trying to avoid these hard or difficult experiences, but to become resilient in how we handle them.
So, I want to help you embrace and move through the various cycles of life – both those that feel expansive, light and abundant, and those that feel dark, challenging and painful – with courage and grace, so you no longer have to live in fear of what life may hand you.
Remember that no matter where you are it is temporary, and this too shall pass. After every period of darkness, comes light. After every contraction comes expansion. After every ending comes a new beginning. And after every setback comes a new possibility.
In this episode I explore;
- Why your life experiences, challenges and lessons are what you are here to teach others.
- Why grief is such a key part of life, and why every ending, every closure and letting go, requires some form of grieving process.
- How to move through and process big periods of emotion.
- Why pain and heartbreak serves a divine purpose in cracking your heart open and expanding your capacity to receive love.
- The power of having a spiritual faith that comforts you and aligns with you an energy greater than your human self.
- How to bounce back from a set-back and pull yourself out of a funk
- Why life is not about eliminating challenges, but becoming more resilient in how you handle them.
- Why every ending or challenge holds in it the opportunity for transformation
- How to step into your expansion, and align your energy with your highest self and your highest desires.
- What it means to live your purpose, and how you can begin bringing more purpose to your life today.

Natural Eco-Beauty & Creating Radiance From Within with Emmily Banks (AR #67)
If you have been on the conscious living journey for a little while, you may have found yourself 'cleaning up' various areas of your self and your life. Perhaps you are releasing old thought patterns, clearing out fear, raising your vibration, making more loving food choices and filling your life with positive people. But have you thought about what you are putting on your skin?
Making conscious, loving and discerning choices about what we put on our bodies each day, is a huge piece of the wellness puzzle. Sometimes this can be an area that gets neglected, but detoxifying our beauty products is such as important as detoxifying our diets and our thoughts.
How To Overcome Self-Doubt As You Follow Your Dreams (AR #66)
I wonder if you might be feeling how I am feeling right now? Are you sitting at the beginning of this fresh new year, feeling excited, hopeful and fired up about all of the big, bright and beautiful dreams and desires you wish to manifest, while at the same time feeling a mix of fear, anxiety and self-doubt as to whether or not it is even possible and whether or not you can do it?
It is this feeling – this uncomfortable mix of passionate desire and crippling self-doubt – which is something I have faced countless times on my journey of following my heart and fulfilling my dreams.
I will be honest and say that self-doubt has been the biggest block that I have had to work through over the past few years. My own belief in myself has been my biggest struggle. And my belief in what my heart desires, and whether I am capable of that and worthy of that has been the biggest thing I have had to work through in order to get to where I am today.

The U.S. dollar held at a two-month high and the Australian dollar gained on Tuesday as expectations of progress in trade talks between the United States and China and a tentative deal to avoid a U.S. government shutdown lifted sentiment.
Against a basket of its rivals, the dollar was broadly steady at 96.986, after climbing to its highest level since mid-December at 97.117 in the previous session.
Weak European data has hurt sentiment towards the single currency. On Tuesday the euro held near a 2-1/2 month low of $1.1267 hit in the previous session.
Sterling was broadly steady at $1.2878 before a statement by Prime Minister Theresa May to lawmakers in parliament.

Before he graduated, he was recommended to save the declining Boston Public Latin School by John T. Kirkland, president of Harvard, and within a decade it revived and acquired a national reputation for the quality of its curriculum and students.

Chevy Offers Three Months of Free OnStar Family Link in August
Just in time for the start of the school year, Chevrolet will provide concerned parents with the means to keep an eye on their teen's driving habits
In most areas of the country, the school year is starting back up, once again. While many high school students take the bus to school, others have reached an age where they can borrow the family vehicle for daily transportation.
This scenario can obviously lead to some tension between parents and their teen drivers, who statistically drive a bit riskier than your average motorist. As figurative battle lines are drawn between the two groups, Chevrolet has evidently chosen to side with the parents. Why else would the automaker offer three months of free OnStar Family Link throughout the month of August?
All throughout this month, Chevy vehicle owners can sign up for three free months of OnStar's Family Link service. The service is usually offered for a monthly fee of $3.99.
OnStar Family Link allows parents to track the location of the Chevy vehicle that their teen driver is using. The parents will receive e-mail or text updates to let them know when their child has reached a certain location or when they have gone outside a certain set area.
"The day your children start driving is a dream come true for them, but it can be a nightmare for a concerned parent," said Luciana Chamberlain, Family Link product marketing manager for Chevrolet. "OnStar Family Link can help minimize a parent's anxiety by letting them know when their child has arrived at school, left a friend's house or traveled outside of their comfort zone."
That's not the only service that Chevrolet has designed for parents. The company also offers both Teen Driver and OnStar Smart Driver.
Teen Driver, available on 10 of Chevy's 2017 models, allows parents to set limits on radio volume and vehicle speed. It also provides users with a in-vehicle report card, documenting any incidents when the vehicle exceeds speed limits or when safety features are activated.
OnStar Smart Driver provides a similar report card as Teen Driver. It also offers driving tips and tricks that both parents and their kids can use.
With OnStar Family Link,
parents who don't trust their teen driver concerned parents now have another tool to keep an eye on their children's driving habits, much to the ire of teen drivers everywhere.
