The Dark is Rising Sequence is one of the best children's fantasy series in the English language. Few people nowadays are familiar with the mystical prose of Susan Cooper, but I recommend a visit to her finely crafted fantasy which is composed of five different books.
In many ways, Susan Cooper's series is superior to many contemporary children's novels and there is something truly timeless and yet vulnerable about her character Will Stanton, the last of the Old Ones.
The five books in the series are namely:
- Over Sea, Under Stone
- The Dark is Rising
- Greenwitch
- The Grey King
- Silver on the Tree
Few children's series have lasted the test of time, but this is one of them.

The great outdoor recreation opportunities that are available in all seasons of the year and the bustling local cultural scene combined with the renown and prestige of owning property here make the Vail real estate market one happening industry. Vail has more short-term and vacation-rental lodgings than it does full-time resident households, which is not unusual for a ski resort town of this nature. The average single-family houses on the Vail real estate market will be found mostly in the East Vail and West Vail neighborhoods. The property listings also include a significant number of condos and townhomes (great for those high country snow sports getaways!) and a handful of properties that have eight-figure price tags. These latter listings include multi-family homes, condos, bare land and single-family homes. And these listings of more than $10 million dollars also drive the median Vail real estate price up to more than $1 million dollars, with a per-square-foot cost of more than $800. What do you get for your money? The opportunity to live (or vacation) in the Rocky Mountains' top community for outdoor recreation, but that's not all. The history, arts and culture of the area are a large part of the attraction of the Vail community as is the chance to rub elbows with the celebrities who flock here each year.
Schools Within the Vail Real Estate Market
Vail is not the residential heart of the area, but there are some families with children who attend schools within the Vail real estate area, served by the Eagle County School District. Vail has a neighborhood elementary school that feeds on up to a district middle school and high school, but there are also other educational opportunities in the district, and these include charter, expeditionary and online schools.

The only thing that smells better than a fresh pair of sneakers is a fresh pair of free sneakers. I know. I've gotten dozens of them, and you can too with a little bit of work and know-how. You'll notice from the byline that I'm writing this anonymously. I know that's supremely lame, but that's also how you can tell I'm giving you good info. I'm not willing to blow up my own spot and lose my own free pairs in the future. Truth is, most of the people I'm finessing probably realize it, but even if you're the "victim" of some of these techniques, it's possible you may not.
The first thing you have to realize before you even try to score some free kicks is that a pair of sneakers is a commodity. Brands and stores usually sell them for cash, so if you expect to get them without cash, you should be able to provide something they can't pay for. To get a free pair of shoes you must demonstrate that it's more valuable for you to have these shoes than it is for the company to keep them or sell them. They have to make a return on the investment.
There are two different kinds of value that you can present: Personal and Professional.
Anyone can bring personal value, but it might take some time. Personal value has to do with the relationship. You have to become friends with the people who give away shoes, whether it's the marketing department at a brand or store, or the designers who do collaborations in the first place. All of these figures are people, and like any other person, they have friends—most of them, anyway. You can be one of those friends.
The problem is that everyone realizes this is a good way to get free sneakers, so these gatekeepers have people trying to be their friends all the time. You have to prove that you're not just in it for the shoes, even if you are. Do this by going to events that you know others are going to skip. Bring them personal presents. Wear shoes of theirs that didn't do very well to prove that you "understand them" in a way that others don't.
Professional value is easier if you work in footwear or another industry that has commodities or valuable skills. But even if you don't work in a field like that, there is still hope.
Maybe you work in IT and can help develop an app for "free." Maybe you're a lawyer that can look over brand contracts for "free." The key here is to create a situation where they owe you. Then, the easiest way for them to pay you back is going to be with sneakers. Since a brand pays 1/4 of retail price, and a retailer pays 1/2 of retail price, it's cheaper for them to give you shoes than give you cash. In these situations you're starting the quid pro quo–which translates from the Latin "this for that." For those unfamiliar with the concept, a quid pro quo is when a "gift" is given as a favor with the expectation that it will be repaid in kind. When you accept something in business, it comes with a quid pro quo. The person offering the quid pro quo is buying time in the future, gaining a favor, kind of like prepaying credit. They're giving you a debt. The person you're offering the favor will know this when they accept it, initiating a quid pro quo. If they're young or new they may not understand it, in which case you're screwed. But you decide if that risk is worth it to you.
The easiest way to convince people you're worth their free shoes is to be an influencer. Here's the secret that no one wants to get real with: being an influencer isn't a career. It's not even a job. And it's certainly not a title that anyone should want to adopt. No serious person calls themselves an influencer. If they do, they're trying to hide the fact that they work at Modell's and live in their mom's basement. Not that there's anything wrong with that. At best, you can be a consultant. But if you want to make enough money to buy yourself three square meals every day and pay your rent on time, don't think that getting your Instagram followers up is going to do it for you. There certainly are people that do this for a living and make a lot of money doing it. But they're the exceptions that prove the rule. For every person that you follow that has over 100,000 followers, only one out of fifty makes a living utilizing that, and only one out of a dozen of those are doing more than living paycheck to paycheck.
Being an "Influencer" usually comes from another job, be it consulting, designing, or management. And those people are have much more influence in their day jobs than they have with their Instagram followers. Social media is a sounding board for most "influencers," and that's why you'll see posts go up on IG and be deleted: they want to see what people think so they know if people are going to buy it. That saves money on investment. Influencers need your follow more than you need their influence.
If none of these plans work for you, here are a few other ideas, in order of decreasing sliminess:

Dear Lifehacker, I saw a bunch of media reports claiming Amazon would be opening its online store in Australia today. All I can see is Kindles and ebooks! What gives? If this is the extent of their local offerings I'm going to be pissed!Thanks, Burnt By Hype
Dear BBH,
DON'T PANIC! What you're currently seeing is Amazon.com.au's old website; the same one that's been in operation for more than a decade. The revamped version - which will sell everything from vacuum cleaners to laptops - is still a few days away.
There has been some confusion over the official launch date due to a "testing phase" which saw the new site temporarily open up to a small number of customers on the 23rd of November. While it was possible to purchase items during this test window, most shoppers missed the boat. Fortunately, it looks like you won't have to wait much longer.
The fact Amazon is actively testing the site with third-party sellers suggests that an official launch is eminent. The company's Australian head Rocco Braeuniger also went on the record promising that Amazon would be launching "really really soon".
If we were betting men, we'd take a punt on November 30 or December 1 - which is this Thursday or Friday, respectively. It's also entirely conceivable that the launch will commence the week after.
So why the "delay"? As we speculated in a previous article, this allows Amazon to launch on its own terms outside all the Black Friday / Cyber Monday hype. It also gives it a few extra days to iron out any kinks while still leaving plenty of time to capitalise on the Christmas shopping period.
Needless to say, we'll be sharing the launch date here as soon as it's announced. In the meantime, you can grab some Amazon-beating deals on gadgets, video games, clothing and more by heading to our Cyber Monday Deals roundup - many of which are still running!
Cheers Lifehacker

Sealers from Britain and America were first on the scene, being attracted to the islands of the Scotia Sea, South Georgia and South Shetlands in particular. The elephant seal and Antarctic fur seal were the prime targets from about 1778 onwards, because of their valuable oil and fur respectively.

Fig. 9.2. Relative abundance of krill and plankton (A), and relative feeding activity of the main Antarctic consumers (B), on a seasonal basis (after Laws, 1977).
The ensuing slaughter was so effective that by 1823 elephant seals were almost extinct in the Scotia Sea, and sealers began moving into the Pacific, especially the islands to the south of New Zealand and Australia (McNab, 1907; Hindell and Burton, 1988a). Hunting of seals continued in these areas until after the Second World War, with some population extinctions. Surveys of fur seals and sea lions over the past 20 years have shown, however, that at least on the islands of the southwestern Pacific, the numbers are generally recovering (Croxall and Gentry, 1984; papers in Ridgway and Harrison, 1981a, b).
Whaling ships worked the Chilean and New Zealand coasts from 1785 and 1791 respectively and many shore-based whaling stations began in the latter country in the 1820s (McNab, 1913; Morton, 1982). The deep-sea whalers from Europe and America hunted mostly right whales and sperm whales to the south and east of New Zealand, while "bay whalers" took only the highly vulnerable right whale close to the coast (Fig. 9.3), (papers in Tillman and Donovan, 1983, and Forster, 1985).
Despite the fact that both coastal and deep-sea whaling in the sub-tropical and temperate waters of the South Pacific declined after the 1840s, it was a further 50 years before whaling activities reached into the Southern Ocean south of 50°S, towards the Antarctic continent. Antarctic coastal waters were still poorly explored at that time, and indeed the first landing on the continent was not made until 1895.
Although Cook, Weddell, Ross and other explorers had reported concentrations of whales close to Antarctica, nothing was known about them, not even what kinds were present there. Eventually, expeditions to the western parts of Antarctica by Dallman in the German whaling ship Gronland in 1873-74, and the Norwegian whaler C.A. Larsen in 1892, established that the abundant whales (several hundred would sometimes surround their boats) were not the sought-after right whales, but the then commercially less-attractive rorquals — blue, fin, and humpback whales. It was not until after the turn of the century that the value of the oil from the "great whales" was fully appreciated (Tonnessen and Johnsen, 1982).
The first reconnaissance of the Ross Sea area of Antarctica since Sir James Clark Ross's 1842 visit in Erebus and Terror was by the Norwegian whaling ship Antarctic in 1894-95, looking for right whales. The only ones seen were at Campbell Island on the voyage south from New Zealand, but the expedition achieved distinction by placing the first people (Bull and Borchgrevink) on the Antarctic continent at Cape Adare, Victoria Land.
Around the turn of the century, knowledge of the zoology of the Southern Ocean, particularly its whales and krill, increased markedly as a result of a number of scientific expeditions from Belgium, Germany and Britain (Deacon, 1984). The study of Antarctic natural history was further enhanced by investigations carried out in conjunction with the Heroic Age of Antarctic land exploration prior to the First World War.
Modern commercial-scale whaling began in Antarctic waters in 1904 and, like the sealing industry over one hundred years before, it centred on the islands of the South Atlantic.
Intense competition amongst whalers in the North Atlantic, and low world
prices for a significant amount of the whale oil from the region (50% of the oil was second-grade and thus unusable for soap manufacture), forced whalers to transfer their operations to the southern grounds. Here, the whales were so abundant that whalers could afford to render down only the best portions of blubber, thus increasing the percentage of top quality oil for use in the soap, tanning and textile industries, and for lubrication and lighting.
South Georgia was the base for Antarctic whaling in the first years of this century. The industry evolved fast, and technological changes soon increased the catching and processing efficiency to levels previously undreamt-of. C.A. Larsen, who had set up the original operation on South Georgia, introduced factory ships which were capable of processing whales at sea, independent of the shore station. This was in fact the same system that operated in the early whaling years, with sailing boats, tri-pots on deck, and oil storage below. But the technology was better - explosive harpoons, fast steam-driven whale chasers, and increased oil storage capacity on the factory ships.
The advent of mobile whale-processing factories meant that, as the numbers of whales in the South Atlantic declined, the chasers and factory ships began following the whales to the other parts of the Southern Ocean, including the Antarctic Sector of the Pacific. The abundance of whales in this sector supported a major whaling industry for 60 years, which successively over-exploited the various species there (Mackintosh, 1965; Clark and Lamberson, 1982).
The highly efficient factory ships, with their slipways for hauling whales out of the water, rotary steam cookers for rendering blubber to oil, and large capacity built-in oil tanks, were initially modified tramp steamers or passenger ships. Later, in the 1930s, purpose-built whale processing ships of up to 21,500 gross tonnes were constructed for the Southern Ocean whaling industry.
In 1923-24, the modern whaling pioneer Larsen was again to the fore by being the first whaler to use a factory ship in the Ross Sea. The Sir James Clark Ross, a 14,000 tonne ship, searched for blue and humpback whales along the coast of Victoria Land, but the expedition was not a success because the ship did not have a slipway, and flensing whales in the freezing conditions alongside the ship amongst ice-floes, proved impossible. The following year Larsen died on the Ross Sea grounds, but his ship encountered better conditions and found numerous whales, resulting in the first large-scale catching of whales in Antarctic waters (Tonnesen and Johnsen, 1982).
During the first three seasons south of New Zealand, Larsen's company operated 1 ship and 5 chasers, but in 1926-27 another more efficient ship, the C.A. Larsen, named after the founder, went south from the company's base at Stewart Island, New Zealand. Many whales were caught in the Ross Sea, along the Victoria Land coast, and around the Balleny Islands (Fig. 9.4.). This region was at that time a dependency of New Zealand, and all whaling was carried out under licences controlled by the New Zealand government. The licences were intended to ensure that the whale carcasses were not discarded, but were utilized to the fullest extent for oil production.
Larsen's company was joined in the Ross Sea in 1926 by an unlicenced whaling ship, the N.T. Nielsen Alonso, which, it was suspected at the time, was wasteful in
its processing methods. This practice stimulated the need for licences. Catch figures for the first six seasons in the Ross Sea are as follows (from Tonnesen and Johnsen, 1982):

If you are suffering from ball of foot pain (Metatarsalgia) there could a number of different things that could be causing your pain. Metatarsalgia can be a sign of any number of foot injuries such as hammer toes, bunions plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. However, the most common cause of ball of foot pain is because of damage to the metatarsal bones found in your foot. The metatarsal bones are long bones that connect your ankle bone to your toes sudden trauma or a severe twisting of your foot, or overuse, can cause damage, or in some cases small fractures to develop on the bones.
More often than not those who are suffering from ball of foot pain also have biomechanical imbalances which can expose the feet to extra strain and pressure. One example of a biomechanical imbalance that is related to ball of foot pain is overpronation. Pronation occurs when you walk and is needed to help support and shift weight from your heels to your toes as you walk. Too much pronation when you walk places extra strain on the balls of your feet which can over time cause damage and pain to develop as a consequence. If you wear unsupportive, tight or high heels you are also more likely to develop ball of foot pain this is because these types of shoes will deform the shape of the foot placing excessive pressure on the ball of the foot. If you are on your feet for long periods or run on hard surfaces shock and pressure building up underneath the ball of your foot leading to damage.
To ease ball of foot pain it is a good idea to start wearing better-fitted shoes with a wide toe box, a heel no higher than 2 inches, supports the ball of your foot and prevents shock from causing damage. Wearing insoles can help to prevent Metatarsalgia and can help to ease your pain.

VFP hardware
There are several VFP architecture versions and variants.
The VFP hardware, together with associated support code, provides single-precision and double-precision floating-point arithmetic, as defined by ANSI/IEEE Std. 754-1985 IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic. This document is referred to as the IEEE 754 standard.
The VFP hardware uses a register bank that is distinct from the ARM core register bank.
There are several versions of the VFP architecture, including VFPv2, VFPv3, VFPv3 with half precision extensions, and VFPv4. In addition, FPv5 is available for ARM® Cortex®-M7 processors. There are variants of VFPv3 and VFPv4 that differ in the number of accessible registers or in their support for trapping floating-point exceptions.

CRE Election Blues
Welcome to a new week of political excitement: this time it's the Democrats' turn to make their case.
Philadelphia will host the Democratic National Convention this week as delegates meet to officially nominate Hillary Clinton as their presidential candidate, just a week after Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination.
This contentious election cycle is being blamed in part for a slowdown in the commercial real estate market.
"Election years always create a lot of uncertainty which affects the current business environment; people take a 'wait and see' attitude as we await the election outcome," said Situs Executive Managing Director Warren Friend. "The significant differences with the two major candidates this year only heightens the level of market uncertainty."
"People do not believe government is working holistically," said Friend. "The voter reaction through the primaries has been to side with those candidates that were viewed as outsiders. The American vision of politicians being drawn to serve the country is under intense scrutiny; is the task a 'job' or a 'calling'?"
Political forces, combined with post-Brexit fears and global terrorism concerns, are causing many companies and investors to postpone making key real estate decisions.
Situs RERC President Ken Riggs concurs with the findings of the just-released Situs RERC Flash Report (2Q 2016), which does not foresee CRE value and price increases for most property types going forward in 2016. This expectation made CRE investment prospects decline for the second quarter in a row. However, with the shifting landscape triggered by the Brexit vote, commercial real estate in the U.S. attractiveness has more recently been enhanced.
On the positive side, preliminary required going-in capitalization rates decreased 20 basis points from the previous quarter for the central business district (CBD) office and industrial warehouse sectors and were down 10 basis points for the neighborhood/community retail and hotel sectors. However, going-in cap rates increased 10 to 20 basis points for all other sectors, except the apartment sector, where the going-in cap rate remained steady. Additionally, expected rental growth declined or was flat for nearly all property sectors in second quarter, except for the CBD office sector, where expected rental growth increased.
"If the economy stays on track, interest rates remain low and employment growth holds, we are hopeful that once the uncertainty of the November elections is over, CRE investment will re-establish itself," said Friend.
Significant Drop in Post-Brexit CRE Confidence
The UK commercial property market has seen a significant drop in confidence and investor demand following the vote to leave the European Union, according to a new survey, with more than a third of respondents saying the market is now in the early stages of a downturn.
A quarterly survey conducted by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors found that London experienced the steepest decline in the second quarter of the year: both investment and leasing deals have been affected by the change in sentiment, the survey said, and rent and capital value expectations are now in negative territory.
During the period, investment enquiries were found to have fallen sharply across the UK, especially among foreign investors: 27% of respondents said they had seen a drop in interest from overseas buyers.

Europe's Richest Man's Real Estate Portfolio
Amancio Ortega, Europe's richest man and founder of global fashion group and Zara owner Inditex , held more than 6 billion euros ($8.7 billion) in prime real estate assets at the end of 2015, corporate filings showed on Tuesday.
The famously-reclusive magnate's real estate investment arm, Pontegadea Inmobiliaria, booked assets of 6.06 billion euros at the end of 2015, up 8.3 per cent from the previous year, making it one of the biggest property companies in Spain.
Ortega, who turned 80 this year, consolidated most of his private interests into holding company Pontegadea Inversiones last December, with him at its helm and his wife Flora Perez and a close business partner listed as his vice-chairmen.

Bank Regulator Flashes Warning Light Over Commercial Real Estate
A leading U.S. banking regulator wants lenders to do more to manage their exposure to commercial real estate.
As property lending accelerates, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency — which oversees American banks alongside the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. — is actively monitoring banks' stress tests and risk-management practices, Comptroller Thomas Curry said in an interview with Bloomberg.
"With commercial real estate lending, we're signaling a flashing yellow or a caution light," Curry said. "We think that if banks act now and if supervisors are vigilant, this type of potential risk can be managed effectively."

Amazon Tiptoes Into Banking Business
Amazon.com Inc. is stepping into the student-loan marketplace.
The online retailer has entered into a partnership with San Francisco lender Wells Fargo & Co. in which the bank's student-lending arm will offer interest-rate discounts to select Amazon shoppers.
An Amazon spokeswoman said this is the first time members of the company's "Prime Student" service are receiving a student-loan offer by a lender through its site since that service was launched in 2010. The discount will be offered both to students who want loans to attend college and those who want to refinance existing loans.
The offer also represents the latest effort among private student lenders to stand out by discounting in an increasingly competitive market. Many offer discounts to customers who set up recurring payments to pay back their loans automatically or for loan refinancings by graduates who are members of professional associations.
Wells Fargo, the largest U.S. bank by market value and the second-largest private student lender by origination volume, will shave a half a percentage point off the interest rate on student loans it extends to applicants who are members of Amazon's Prime Student. The subscription-based service charges $49 a year, half the cost of Amazon Prime, and offers free two-day shipping and unlimited instant streaming of movies, among other perks.

Chatty, Bonehead Banker Exits HSBC
Sometimes you grind the sausage, and sometimes the sausage grinds you.
Rob Domanko, the senior banker at HSBC who embarrassed his bank and a client when he was caught openly chatting about a quid-pro-quo transaction, quietly left on the bank on Wednesday, The Post has learned.
Last year, The Post obtained transcripts of an Instant Bloomberg chatroom in which Domanko lays out in detail how the sausage is often made on trading desks throughout Wall Street.
Domanko, who headed the bank's equity derivatives program since May 2012, advised his traders to sweeten a deal for a client — but not too much — because HSBC was already likely to win its business.

Most Expensive North American Cities To Set Up an Office
The top of commercial real estate firm CBRE's list – and ahead by quite a margin – is New York City. It is an energetic metropolis that attracts talent in almost all fields from places all over the world. Packed with culture, accessibility, media and money, it offers a new business a great space to launch and an existing one a giant new market to tap.
But setting up shop in the Big Apple will cost you. CBRE reports that the annual gross direct asking price of office space in New York is $75.35 per square foot. And that's just the average—if you would like to be in a popular or prestigious neighborhood, expect to pay quite a bit more.
On top of office space, New York has a lower vacancy rate than most of the other cities on CBRE's list, at 7.3%. Also, your workers will have to pay higher rents in New York, where the average monthly apartment rents for more than $4,400 per month (yes, per month) and the cost of living is 22% higher than the national average for a city.
Number two on CBRE's list of most expensive cities to rent office space is San Francisco Bay Area—essentially the metropolis near Silicon Valley. Rents per square foot there are at $59.59 as of the first quarter of this year and vacancy rates are even lower than in New York City, at 6.9%.
The third most expensive market for office space lies in the true north, strong and free—in Vancouver, Canada. Companies looking to rent space there should expect to pay an average rent of $39.93 per square foot per year. That's not too bad. And considering that vacancies are not as brutal as markets like New York, Northern California, or northern cousin Toronto; and apartment rents for workers are a relatively reasonable $1,055 on average (U.S., not Canadian), Vancouver makes itself out to be an attractive home for fledgling firms.

Rupert Murdoch's Manhattan Townhouse Sold for $28 Million in Cash
Rupert Murdoch's West Village townhouse has found a new owner, Mansion Global has learned.
Dolly Lenz, the exclusive agent, confirmed the sale. She added that the home sold for about $28 million, very close to the asking price of $28.9 million.
In a tough New York luxury market, the price and the short time on the market make the sale impressive. The 21st Century Fox Chairman put the house on the market early April, one month after his wedding to former model Jerry Hall. Public records show the property went into contract last week.
Ms. Lenz said there were multiple serious all-cash bidders, pushing the deal to its near-asking price. "The winner of the bidding war is a domestic buyer," she said.

Some Retrospective Tips for Graduate School
With most universities entering their first week of classes, I've been spending some time reflecting on my own experience as a graduate student. This is something I do every year, but is in part a reflection of my own anxieties with my new position as ABD. I thoroughly enjoyed classes and I will miss the experiences. Since I was already thinking back on my first year of grad school, I thought I'd write out four simple tips for starting graduate school. This could also be subtitled: "Things I wish I did when I started school." So without further ado:
1: Start preparing for your comprehensive exams from day 1
I don't mean you need to walk into your first graduate class knowing exactly which fields you will take your exams in, or even that you have reading lists. Your exam fields and lists will evolve over your first few years of graduate school and will reflect your maturing interests as a scholar. However, there are some steps you can take from your first class that will make things much easier for you come time to prep for your exams. In my first few classes, I'd read the text, take notes, discuss the material in class, then file the notes away in a cabinet as I moved on from the course. That was a bad idea. Once I finalized my reading lists, I realized that many of the books had appeared on course syllabi from previous classes. But because I didn't make a point to keep those notes handy, I ended up rereading many of the books and articles.
Don't fall into this trap! Instead, there's an easy way to begin your preparation from day one. The best place to start is by downloading zotero or some other program that saves the bibliographic information for your text. I prefer zotero because it is free and easy to use. In addition to collecting all your readings in one place, the note feature makes exam prep easy. For each book or article you read in class, make an entry in zotero. Then, in the notes for each text, write out the reading's thesis and several key points from the text. Once you are studying for exams, you already have the key points from each reading saved right there in zotero. While you'll most likely need to review many texts, this will give you a tremendous head start.
2: Embrace the graduate school community
You will meet a disparate group of people in graduate school. Some students will be straight out of undergrad, others coming back after work in "the real world." Some students are single, others with long-term partners. You may live next to campus while others have long commutes. Despite the challenges you might face, do your best to get involved in the graduate school community. Take advantage of department organizations. Getting involved has many benefits. For starters, it helps you develop a support network among your colleagues. Many an evening can be spent engaging in lively discussion (both academic and non-academic) over a drink or two. You can commiserate about classes, discuss papers, sports, anything. Graduate school, especially in a discipline like history, can be a solitary experience. Far too many hours are spent reading alone in an apartment/archive/library. So those times you go out and enjoy time with your classmates can be a great break from the rigors of work.
In addition to the social network, getting involved with your university's graduate programs helps give you a sense of ownership over your graduate education. While a graduate student's influence is limited, many organizations can make an important impact in terms of influencing policy, programs, and other aspects of graduate life.
3: Take advantage of every opportunity
That's not to say I didn't, but I certainly could have done more to maximize my first few years of graduate school. Make sure you present your research papers at conferences. Graduate student conferences are great ways to get your work out there, gain experience in a conference setting, and network with fellow graduate students. Attend job talks at your university. Go to workshops, social events, sporting events, and anything else that catches your eye. This is just one more way to build connections within the graduate school community. Additionally, a lot of these opportunities are great ways to learn about the profession. One of the easiest ways to learn about your field is by watching how others navigate the many challenges you'll face.
4: Don't neglect your life outside the library
Grad school is a lot of work, there's no denying that. I found it remarkably easy my first year to get so bogged down in my studies that I forgot about the world outside my seminars and library doors. While you certainly need to cultivate your graduate student mind, you can't forget about other things. For me, my outlet has been running (which admittedly isn't everyone's cup of tea) and intramural basketball. Yes, our graduate department has an intramural team. We're awful, but we play every week. It's a blast and it gets my mind off my classes even if it's only for an hour or two a week. Remember, you're allowed to have fun sometimes.
There are countless other suggestions and recommendations, but I think these are four simple things to help ease the transition into grad school. What do you guys tell first-year students about acclimating themselves to grad school?

I ordered the chaise lounge to replace a bed in the spare room. It takes up less space and looks modern and sleek. It arrived in great condition and I have been napping on it! Great customer service too.
The chaise lounge we recently received exceeds expectations! It was so easy to set up (just pull out of the shipping cartons). It's beautifully made and super comfortable. We've even used it as a guest bed already with A+ review. Thanks again!
It's all the furniture you will ever need, except maybe a kitchen table. The best part is not only is it a bed and a couch, it's storage! That's right when your friends come over unannounced, you can gather up all your stuff and throw it in the ottoman. Tada! the house is clean I recommend DuoBed 100%.

Great Storage. Easy to assemble. Expected the color to be a bit darker, but it looks great in our new library

A Bookkeeper is responsible for the recording and tracking of financial transactions. A Bookkeeper maintains records of sales, purchases and revenue of an individual or organisation. The records kept by a Bookkeeper may later be used by an accountant to prepare an income statement and balance sheet. A new regulatory scheme in Australia required Bookkeepers to be registered, and they must hold a Certificate IV in Financial Services or higher qualification.
Bookkeepers must be diligent and systematic in carrying out their daily duties. Their records may be audited at any stage and it is essential that there are no discrepancies or imbalances. Most Bookkeepers spend half their time maintaining financial records and the other half communicating with company members to gain, verify or impart information regarding financial activities.
Bookkeepers may use their accumulated experience to move into accounting or inventory control positions. They may also use their business knowledge to move into management or supervisory positions.
ISMYCV can help you create an outstanding Bookkeeping cover letter and resume.

I don't have the time to provide a full explination today, and I'm sorry for that. Tomorrow morning I'll update with something more significant. WHen I do, I would ask that those of you who were kind enough to link to the original post would link to the explanitory post as well to allow others to make up thier own minds.
Emax and the landmark group as well as the Electrolux distributors met with me this morning. They provided clear, concise explinations for the situation as well as describing the steps they are taking to prevent this situation from happening again to any of you.
I am very satisfied with the results and with thier plan of action to improve communication within the store, Landmark Group, and betwen the group and the suppliers.
I gave them the link here, so they can explain in thier own words as well should they choose to do so. Blue-Chi, I reccomended that they visit your site as well so they can speak to you.
Muscati, thanks for reccomending that I speak to the head office, it was a key step to resolving this issue.
I will post a full explination of our meeting and the circumstances leading up to my unpleasant experience here tomorrow. Hopefully Emax will also take the time to speak here.
I should add that they kindly offered me many nice free things which I declined on the grounds that it would be unethical. I hope they can give those things and the store credit to someone less fortunate than we are.

ARLINGTON, Texas - The Blue Jays dressed quietly in their clubhouse at Rogers Centre in Toronto, an appropriate lack of noise after a draining 14-inning loss that put them one defeat from elimination in their Division Series against the Rangers.
But those looking for a sense of panic or doom -- the latter permeated the city of Toronto, which had been waiting 22 years for the playoffs to return, after Friday's 6-4 loss -- saw and heard none of it.
"The task at hand is pretty simple," Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson said. "We have to win or we go home. That being said, I like our chances because of the team we have in here."
A team that, with the most explosive offense in the big leagues, shot past the Yankees to capture the AL East crown, erasing an eight-game deficit with a 43-18 surge.
Perhaps even more impressive, the Blue Jays -- who will send righthander Marco Estrada (13-8, 3.13) to the mound Sunday night against Rangers lefthander Martin Perez (3-6, 4.46) -- haven't lost three straight games since July 8-10.
And now, some numbers that are not in Toronto's favor:
Clubs that have won the first two games of a Division Series are 42-5 all-time, according to MLB.com, with the last team to rally from a 0-and-2 hole the 2003 Red Sox against the A's.
The only teams to come back after dropping the first two games at home are the 2001 Yankees, against the A's, and the 2012 Giants, against the Reds.
"This is an uphill battle, but it's been done before," Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin, a former Yankee, told reporters.
The task became even tougher with the news after Friday's game that lefthander Brett Cecil, the Blue Jays' best second-half reliever -- he didn't allow an earned run in his last 37 appearances dating to June 21 -- will be out for the rest of the postseason with a torn left calf muscle. Rookie righthander Ryan Tepera, who had a 3.27 ERA in 32 appearances this season, replaced him.
The Rangers, of course, are dealing with their own significant injury. Third baseman Adrian Beltre, forced from Game 1 with a back strain, did not work out Saturday and is questionable for Game 3.
"Definitely a big loss," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said of Cecil before his club's workout Saturday at Globe Life Park. "He's been so good for us, arguably the best reliever in baseball the last three months. Texas' lineup [has] so many lefthanders, that's where he really was important to us. But that's the way it goes."
Gibbons has concerns about his own lineup, which bashed its way to the AL East crown but has mostly been held in check this series. Most notably, five Texas relievers held the Blue Jays to no runs and two hits in the final seven innings of Friday's loss.
"I think we need a big outburst with the bats," Gibbons said. "If you look at our season . . . that's kind of our trademark. Their pitching's really shut us down the last two games, so we need to do that to win. Hopefully we can do it one time, catch our breath a little bit and gain a little confidence. Then maybe we can hang in this thing."

After discharge from the army in 1947, I worked as a Shift Chemist for Courtaulds Ltd. in Wolverhampton until 1959.
The prospect of a lifetime of 3 shift work did not appeal to me and I successfully applied for a position as Technical Correspondent at Evode. Initially liaising between Mrs Carr and the Sales Office and Vasek (Vee) Vohralik, I soon transferred to the Laboratory as an Adhesives Development Chemist.
In 1971 I took over Adhesives Technical Service from Clive Beard when he left to join the Company's licensees in Canada. This was a most interesting job, varied and unpredictable from day to day, but occasionally marred by the intransigence of certain customers when the findings of an investigation into a complaint was not to their liking.
On one occasion an industrial firm had problems with a formulation I had originally recommended and would not accept that these were caused by faulty application -adhesive starvation resulting in a non-coalescence in this case. Their claim against us kept rising until it reached £66,000.00, if I remember correctly. The validity of their claim collapsed when we received a request for the same adhesive for a similar purpose and we were told that it had been recommended to them by our complainant!! Presumably they had been able to overcome their faulty application technique, but were still hoping to 'cash-in' and charge Evode for their remedial work.
A couple of unusually interesting projects come to mind. Firstly visiting the Scottish Highlands with David Ward at the request of the Hydroelectricity Board to look at a lining to the inside of an experimental length of concrete pipeline in an attempt to counteract the effects of developing corrosion. Unfortunately this was not successful and no business resulted.
Secondly, at the request of Anthony Cobbold whose friend (Major Mintner Kemp I seem to remember) was to take part in a single handed transatlantic yacht race, we fixed Flotex carpeting to the cabin and deck of the yacht to provide improved foot holding in heavy weather. This is particularly memorable because it almost ended in disaster when a welder suddenly lit the torch a few feet away from where John Gooch and I were using a highly inflammable adhesive. We quickly persuaded him to do his welding a little later for everyone's sake!!

Bloomberg BNA – A higher estate tax exemption recently enacted in Maryland under H.B. 739 will likely stem the flow of retirees moving out of the state, Maryland's comptroller and an estate planning attorney recently told Bloomberg BNA. Maryland was among the worst states for retirement in a list Forbes magazine compiled last year. One of the reasons for this was the state's estate tax, which Mary- land's comptroller and an estate planning attorney said they believe is driving retirees from the state.

- Description
A Tri-Clamp Butterfly Valve comes equipped with a squeeze trigger that can be locked in 13 different positions. Some of the advantages over a traditional ball valve are that they are smaller and are able to open and close quickly. The disc is lighter than a ball so the valve doesn't need as much structural support than a ball valve of the same diameter. These valves can be cleaned in place without worry of hidden areas for bacteria build up where sanitation is important. All of our Tri-Clover Butterfly Valves are manufactured using 304 stainless steel and come with tri-clamp connection on both ends.

Children Photography | Wedding photographers Cape Town
Children Photography is all about Changing your view, Change your Photography….Powerful words. Changing your view makes a huge difference to your photography.
If I can put it simply, learning from children photography, one can apply certain basics that will impact and enhance your photography for years to come. Foundations in children photography is the key essential. Photographing children has helped me to understand, by getting get down to a childs level and by changing my view and perspective will help me to look through the lens differently.
Did you know that your eye is set at 50mm and as an adult we look down on life where as a kid looks up and at a low level through life.
A lot of Photographers are more concerned with the right equipment or how to learn the light etc. All these are extremely important and will make a huge difference, but I truly believe that by changing your view you can change your Photography.
I use a term in my photography which I call the angle of attack. This term is derived from fighter pilots who needs to attack at the right angle to complete a mission or task. This also applies to landing an aircraft, the right angle is nessesary the land massive steel and people, The wrong angle and it becomes fatal. Sjoe, Its intense I know!!!! Lets take a step back without the fatal part. The right angle in which you shoot will let people see your point of view in the photograph from your perspective.
Here is my foundational tips on how to change your view
1) Get down on the ground as low as possible. Anna Kuperberg does this wonderfully. Please review her work closely and note her angle on Photographs
2) Use a wider angle lens.
3) Capture hands, feet and objects that are miniature in real life and make them appear bigger with regards to a human scale such as a hand.
4) Children Photography, Children Photography, Children Photography….Shoot more children and look at what they are looking at. Learn from their energy.
Always remember…Change your view, Change your Photography
Love Riaan

Mom (Ma) Upchurch's Boarding House
Did you know this nearly 100-year old stone house at 620 Boscobel Street in East Nashville's Edgefield neighborhood served as Mom Upchurch's Boardinghouse from the mid-1940s through the late 1960s? A widow, Delia "Mom" Upchurch (1891-1976) only rented to struggling male country music singers, songwriters, and musicians. "They don't mix too good with people in other livelihoods," explained Mom. "And I just like good ole hillbilly music."
Known as "Hillbilly Heaven," the house became famous as the first home of hundreds of struggling hillbilly musicians. Over the years, it is estimated that over 2,000 men in the country music industry roomed here. The list is a virtual who's who and includes Pee Wee King and His Golden West Cowboys, Carl Smith, Faron Young, Webb Pierce, Stringbean, Stonewall Jackson, Lloyd Green, Buddy Spicher, Hank Cochran, Grandpa Jones, Roger Miller, Okie Jones, Buck Trent, Howard White, Benny Williams, Stan Hitchcock, Butterball Paige, and the Carter family.
Mom would take in 6-14 boarders at a time in her 5-bedroom, 1-bath home, and only charged $7-8 per week. She took good care of her "boys," cooked for them, cleaned their socks, and took messages while they were on the road. The boys would rehearse in the house and in the yard during the summertime.
A native of Gainsboro, Tennessee, the "Den Mother to the Stars" died in 1976. Her home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and protected by a historic preservation overlay. Mom Upchurch's Boarding House is located directly across the street from the stone Bungalow that serves as Deacon's home on the "Nashville" TV show.

After "Pa" Upchurch passed away in 1947, Delia opened the rest of her house to musical tenants and by the late 1940s, "Mom" Upchurch's boarding house, at 620 Boscobel St, was the first stop for many young singers and pickers fresh off the bus to Nashville. For $5 a week, a musician could rent half of a double bed, with the understanding that it might be sub-leased while they were out on tour. A home-cooked breakfast was 75¢, supper 85¢ and friendly advice from "Mom" was always free.
Mom Upchurch became a surrogate mother to scores of young musicians. While she had strict rules forbidding alcohol, cursing and female guests, her "boys" loved her. Record producers and artists knew that if you needed a musician for a session or tour, Mom Upchurch's was the first place to call.
Mom continued to run her boarding house until she turned 80 in 1971. Over the years, her tenants ranged from future stars and songwriters like George Morgan, Carl Smith, Faron Young, Roger Miller, Stonewall Jackson, and Hank Cochran to accomplished sidemen like Hank Garland, Grady Martin, Jimmy Day, Butterball Paige, Lightnin' Chance, Shorty Lavender, Buddy Spicher, Dale Potter, Buddy Emmons and scores of others.

A Grand Ole Lady
(by Don Davis, former member of Pee Wee King & His Golden West Cowboys)
There is a house at 620 Boscobel Street in East Nashville - a yellow stone house between Shelby Avenue and Woodland Street. It became famous because of the Grand Ole Opry stars and musicians it housed. Delia Upchurch was the owner and 'Den Mother' to all of us. We called her 'Mom.' Mom (or 'Ma' as some would say) was just a Nashville homemaker who opened her house in East Nashville to struggling young musicians, many of whom were so young they were experiencing their first time away from their own home and family.
Shorty Boyd was the first person who stayed there at a time when Mom's husband, Louis K. Upchurch, was still alive. Shorty talked them into letting him stay there, too, as we were both members of Pee Wee King's band then. When Mr. Upchurch died, I was in California, and when I got back Mom was grieving.

Young students and emerging professionals at high school and university will have a series of different options that will be on the table.
What can appear as a daunting prospect to dive head first into a new career will end up being the first of many steps.
In many respects, it can be just as valuable to understand what path not to take as the one that you end up taking.
For technology-savvy individuals who see a future in this industry, information technology internships are provided to give these talents a chance to encounter real life experience.
But what about the suitability requirements that are needed with a role like this?
What personality traits, assets and circumstantial facts about someone's profile will make them perfect for an entry level position for an IT firm?
In this setting we will open a discussion involving these points as parents, guardians, friends and peers encourage you to take certain options.
Set those aside for one moment and gauge these topics for yourself.
Applying For The Internship
The application phase alone can create a degree of angst, confusion and testing of patience as applicants invest their faith in an organisation they may have little information about. Information technology internships are issued by companies who wish to entice the next generation of experts into the fold, gauging which individuals have the expertise and acumen to carry out the tasks and the temperament and drive to reach leadership positions. Throwing your name into the hat against dozens, hundreds or thousands of aspiring IT professionals can be an early test for teenagers and young 20-somethings. Do not feel deterred by a single rejection because the possibilities in this industry are seemingly endless.
Supporting Your Income
There will be information technology internships that are generally offered in one of three formats from a financial point of view:
- Unpaid
- Covering basic costs including travel
- Low/entry level wage
Those that are unpaid have to follow stringent guidelines that are imposed by the government, ensuring that workers are not exploited beyond a certain time frame. For the sake of protecting your income, it is important to gauge what the policy is with the internship on their wage structure to give particular guarantees. Young professionals in this environment can compliment their employment in this field with additional jobs, study or various subsidies through public programs.
Learning On The Job Pro's and Con's
The positives and negatives that are gleaned from information technology internships will be an education all unto itself. Learning the theory of IT with textbooks and instructional lessons will be a great platform to begin with, but picking up interpersonal skills, understanding of departments and teams, and interpreting the time pressures and expertise that is necessary to excel in the industry will prove to be the real value. There could be individuals who experience setbacks and hurdles that you can note, or recognize that company change needs to take place. Students can study endlessly about the machinations of IT jobs, but it is only through an internship that tangible experiences are earned.
Making IT Industry Contacts
Information technology internships are fertile ground for employees of all backgrounds to make long lasting connections. Networking is one of the inherent benefits that defines this practice, extending beyond short-term pay and having a company name on the resume. Barely a handful of successful applicants will have any IT contacts to call upon, and these individuals at lower, middle and higher levels can be utilized as personal sounding boards and references for future positions. Pick their brain about their opinions and experiences, because you can quickly test the temperature about team culture, group dynamics, expectations and plenty more.
Long-Term Job Security
In the digital age, IT could not be a more suitable industry for an emerging professional. Information technology internships are a gateway for individuals to be in positions that essentially oversee the entire framework and processes of a business. From email procedure to data storage, document processing, internet and smartphone connection, communication between departments, website development and social media – anything that involves a computer, phone or piece of digital technology requires an expert in this field. This will see designers, analysts, developers and engineers come into the fold. 15 years ago this would be a niche position. Today in 2018 and beyond for the foreseeable future, it is mandatory across all commercial sectors. That is the definition of long-term job security and an illustration why information technology internships are so popular.
Only you can know for sure through experience and instinct if an application for information technology internships is the right path to take. Fortunately the short-term nature of these programs allows you to test the waters. If it works out – fantastic. What a wonderful opportunity that has presented itself as you earn an important first step. If it does not work out, that is fine as well. The tenure was limited to a few weeks and you can progress with another career opportunity. See what there is out there in the market and speak to those who have been through the system before making a decision.
