The time may come when you must figure out how to tactfully tackle a girl. Odds are, it's in a playful context: rugby, football, or another contact sport. You don't want to hurt her, but you also don't want to be so gentle that you take away her agency to play the game. Do not tackle a girl without consent. Make sure that you share a common understanding of the rules. The most important thing is that you are respectful.
Method 1 of 2:
Reading the Situation
Method 1 of 2:
1Make sure you know her well enough to tackle her. You should never tackle a stranger, and you should avoid tackling someone that you've just met unless you're sure that she will be comfortable with it. If she is your sister, your relative, or your good friend, then she might feel more comfortable with you tackling her. Use your best judgment.
2Tackle in the right setting. Tackling is a large part of many contact sports, including rugby and American football. If you are playing a contact sport with a mixed group of boys and girls, then the tackling issue will certainly come up. Consider playing flag football, two-hand touch football, or another less violent variation of the game. If you plan to tackle a girl in a non-sporting context, then you will need to be especially sure that she'll be okay with it.
- Flag football or two-hand touch football can be a great way to avoid the issue of tackling a girl. In regular football, you stop someone from running the ball by tackling them to the ground. In touch football, you only need to touch them with two hands at once. In flag football, you pull a "flag" from the runner's belt to signify that you have stopped them.
3Make your intentions clear. Check in to be sure that the girl is comfortable with being tackled. It's better to ask ahead of time than to risk making someone feel violated. Get consent and establish a common understanding of the rules.[1] X Research source
- If you are playing a contact sport like rugby or tackle football, make sure that everyone playing understands that he or she might get tackled. Explain the rules before you begin. If anyone is uncomfortable with being tackled, consider playing a less violent variation.
- If you are going to tackle a sibling, a romantic interest, or a female friend, then you should be physically comfortable with one another. It's okay to play rough, but you need to make sure that you are not violating her personal space.
Method 2 of 2:
Tackling Carefully
Method 2 of 2:
1Avoid touching sensitive areas. Even if the girl doesn't mind being tackled, she might not be so comfortable with you touching her breasts or her pelvic region. The legs and the midriff are usually safe. Wrap your arms around her waist, or aim low for her knees.[2] X Research source
- Try not to worry too much about inappropriate touching. Pretend that you are tackling a male friend, but be a bit gentler. If you obviously aren't aiming for her private areas, then there shouldn't be a problem.
2Tackle gently. Once you wrap your arms around her for the tackle, try placing your arms on her back so that she won't be hurt when she hits the ground. If you make a diving tackle from a few steps behind, then you will tackle harder in your effort to catch up. If you are worried that you'll hurt her, try to catch up to her first, then bring her slowly to the ground – that is, if you can catch her!
3Respect her agency to play. Girls are tough, too. If she wants to play tackle football with you, then that is her choice. It is not necessarily your place to treat her like a delicate doll. Be careful, certainly, and treat her with respect – but do not assume that she is weak just because she is a girl!Advertisement

The "Five Horsemen" in the Maroon Tornado: Uniontown High School's 1925 Men's Basketball Team
This article was researched and written by PA Room volunteer Paul Davis. Thanks to Paul for contributing!
Fayette County has always had a rich sports history. If one were to visit the Fayette County Sports Hall of Fame located here in the Uniontown Library they would learn about the varied accomplishments by many talented men and women. Basketball, in particular, has been a powerhouse sport in the area.

We are research members of the School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Science of the University of Birmingham and we are exploring the promotion of exercise among disabled people, in particular those who are currently not doing any exercise but who would like to become active.
Exercise can provide many physical and mental benefits, regardless whether one is disabled or not. Arguably, exercise is even more important for people with disabilities as it may help with their daily living.
Unfortunately, many disabled people experience barriers to becoming physically active, such as not knowing what adapted activities they could do or where to find them. This is where we hope to make a difference. Through our research, we hope to identify strategies that can successfully help promote exercise among disabled people and in turn improve their physical and even mental health.
This research is funded by the English Federation of Disability Sport and led by Professor Brett Smith, in collaboration with Dr Eva Jaarsma.
In order to help us make a difference in the lives of your members, we first need your support in helping us recruit participants for this study.
As part of this study, every participant will be entitled to:
- A 30 week exercise program where we will provide information and strategies to help them start exercising. We will also ask the participant to fill out questionnaires in week 1, 12 and 30, which will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
- A face-to-face interview of approximately 30 minutes (at your preferred location) where we will discuss your experiences of the exercise program and how it can be improved.
The time commitment for each member is minimal considering the amount of benefit they may eventually receive and we thus hope that you will be able to put us in touch with your members if you think they may be interested in being part of this meaningful study.
With regards to the type of participants we wish to recruit, we are interested in adults (18 years or above) who associate themselves with one of the following disability groups:
- Visual impairment
- Hearing impairment
- Cerebral Palsy
- Amputation
- Restricted growth
As compensation, every participant will be eligible for travel expenses as well as £30 in cash upon completion of the 30 week program. The project is for people from all over the UK, with group sessions offered in Birmingham, Bath, London and Manchester.
We hope you would be willing to help us with recruiting participants for this project and allow us to get in touch with your members.
Please read this participation information sheet for more details.

Hi everyone
I find some comfort in prayer so if any of you do , could you please spare one for my brother?
He recently had to visit London to see a chest specialist. He has had a chest wall deformity since birth and all his life had opted to leave it and not go through with surgery despite warnings - at the time, the risk of surgery vs leaving it was not too bad ...
However, he's facing problems now - His heart has shifted across, is irregular, and other complications. He has no choice now but to go for surgery to give himself a chance... He will be having it at the end of the summer but they have highlighted how serious the risks are so we are so scared for him. It's going to be a major op and i'd love if you could pray that he's strong enough for surgery and pulls through it with no complications please ?
He has risks of most, but particularly of an thrombo-embolism and cardiac events/infection and rejection of rods so please keep him in your prayers.... it's going to be a long anxious wait. It will comfort to know that he has a few prayer warriors behind him. Thank you everyone in advance

One thing thats really been bugging me lately is Python, it just keeps growing.
Goto a Linux room/website and say anything that dont praise Xfree to the highest, you get plenty of flames on how it is in fact perfect and shoulndt be changed. Mention a couple more guis would be nice and you will practicly be hung.
But yet a new scripting "language" comes around and its every where! Why?
People practicly want GUIs gone(they refuse to use them, there too usefull and dont make them feel special), but yet there all for Python.
I have no idea whats up with this.
Any Python people here? Im hopinh would could straighten me out alittle, i havnt found anything good at all so far.
And ill leave this post woth some of my favorite lines.
""Idiot's just can't use it right" is no excuse to tolerate something being more tedious than necessary."
"You use graphics and windows? Ugh, the bloat! The overhead! I used to only program using the linux console. No pesky bloated bitmapped graphics there, no sir-e-bob! But then I realized I was wasting countless processor cycles redrawing a 2d grid of characters. That's when I stepped up to a truly responsive system - the line editor! Its the stuff, man! I can get 1,400,000 frames per second on my Pentium4/3200mhz with Geforce4 Pro Titanium Ultra. It is RESPONSIVE!!!"
"By all means, don't dare voice complaint that the car you currently drive is inefficient -don't dare to dream of a faster, smarter, more efficient machine. "
"The recent facination (last five years) with media player authors to make "pretty" interfaces that immediately grab a user's interest is a great example. The UIs are far less usable, are inconsistent, are frequiently slower and buggy...yet authors keep pumping out these damned bitmap interfaces to DVD players, movie file players, audio file players, etc."
"A lot of *nix users see to equate 'tough to use' with 'better distro' "

Careers advice and guidance
Miss Al-Hariri is our Universities and Careers Coordinator. Her role is to help all students throughout the school access information and advice about university and careers, so they are prepared for life after KSA.
Preparing for University
In Sixth Form, students have a university preparation session each week with our Sixth Form Leadership team, in small groups. This curriculum helps students to understand the university application process and prepare and complete this.
Students have 1:1 meetings with Miss Al-Hariri each half term, where they map out their plans for university, in terms of course and university choice and the actions they need to take to reach those goals. They have an assembly once a week where opportunities from universities are shared with students, which they can choose to apply for. All of our Sixth Formers have engaged with at least one university activity in the last year.
Preparing for the world of work
In Sixth Form, we use assemblies and university preparation time to prepare our students for the world of work. We have numerous speakers each term, from a range of professions. We also direct students to and organise work experience placements across a range of industries, to give students even more experience of the world of work. They also attend a CV workshop, have a Careers Fair and have a Careers day as part of their University Enrichment week.

Under the terms of the Texas sexual assault laws, you can be arrested for rape if you misunderstand your partner's willingness to engage in a sexual act. Texas calls this sexual assault. You face state prison time, as little as 2 years and up to 99 years or life. There are also civil ramifications. Even if you escape harsh sentencing, you may likely be labeled as a sex offender for the remainder of your life. You will have to register not only with Texas, but with the federal government. This will affect you whenever you move to a new home or take a new job.
REMAIN TOTALLY SILENT! The police are recording every conversation you have! And it's not worth the risk facing these repercussions without experienced legal representation. We will sit down with you, discuss your case, and begin to investigate possible defenses. Maybe your partner was lying about what happened between the two of you because they were angry and were looking for revenge. They may have something to hide, as well, and are using you as the fall guy. Additionally, an experienced College Station sexual assault defense attorney can potentially use implied consent as a defense.
In any case, you cannot do this on your own. Only an attorney experienced investigating rape charges can sort through the facts of your case to determine how legally liable you are for criminal charges. After that determination is made, we can work to mitigate the damage to your life. Rape charges or sexual assault allegations are one of the worst things that can appear on your record. Even beyond the legal penalties, such a charge can ruin the rest of your life.
Call an Experienced College Station Sexual Assault Defense Lawyer Now!
If we decide to accept representation in your case, rest assured you will have an experienced defense lawyer on your side, fully prepared to go the distance to defend your legal rights. We will thoroughly investigate the situation that got you in trouble. Then we will use the facts unearthed to safeguard your rights. Call a Brazos County rape defense lawyer immediately when you suspect you might be accused of rape. The earlier we get in on your case, the more good we can do for you. Do not spend the rest of your life under the weight of such a stigma. Get experienced professional help quickly for the rape charges against you.

Release #07-108

Units: About 42,200
Importers: Water Heating Division of Rheem Sales Company Inc., of Montgomery, Ala. and Paloma Industries Inc., of Oxnard, Calif.
Hazard: Components inside the water heater may shift during transit, causing an air filter door switch to operate improperly.

Manufactured in: Japan
Remedy: Consumers with the recalled water heaters should stop using them immediately, if the air filter door is not in place.

Low Sexual Desire Is a Very Real Disorder for Many Women
By Beth Battaglino, RN-C, CEO of HealthyWomen, Women's Health Expert
Share on:
Nationally, there is an important dialogue taking place regarding female sexual dysfunction (FSD) and whether it is a legitimate medical condition that requires treatment. HealthyWomen, based on the data that is currently available, believes that FSDs are real disorders that affect millions of women in the United States.
A recent HealthyWomen survey (supported by Palatin Technologies, makers of the investigational therapy bremelanotide), revealed that as many as 6 in 10 premenopausal women who are experiencing low desire are distressed by it. Additionally, some 40 percent of women polled blame themselves for their low desire. Clearly, more awareness and education are needed around this topic.
Low sexual desire—known as hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD)—is the most common form of FSD. Some of the HSDD symptoms include: lack of sexual thoughts, lack of desire that cannot be attributed to any other medical or psychological problems. The key criteria of the disorder is that it causes personal distress.
According to the HealthyWomen survey (a study of 906 premenopausal women), as many as 95 percent of women say a healthy sex life is important to a romantic relationship; yet, 40 percent of these women admit they avoid sex with their partner due to low desire.
If you suffer from one or all of HSDD symptoms shared here, you are not alone. According to the HealthyWomen survey, as many as 46 percent of the women surveyed experienced low sexual desire at some point in time.
If you suspect you may be experiencing HSDD, learn more about the Reconnect Study. The Reconnect Study is a clinical research study evaluating an investigational medication for premenopausal women with decreased sexual desire.

Yes all the studies for medication are nice and about time but they are ALL for premenopausal women what about the rest of us. I'm 66 and have had this problem since I was in my 40's. Of course there was no study then and we over 60 are just angry. Everything is always given to the man and we are just supposed to sit here and suffer. Shameful!!!!!

A Year In Review
2015 was a big year for the Solar Village Project. From officially becoming a tax exempt 501(c)(3) Non Profit, implementing the Kihare Solar Village Project in Bihar, India, and successfully raising the funds to expand our efforts into Senegal with the Cisse Masse Solar Village Project in February, we accomplished a lot this past year.
Beyond that, in 2015 SVP began to lay the foundations for long term success and organizational development. At the forefront of those plans we have identified three objectives that will have a major impact on our operations in India and Africa.
First, we need to officially register the SVP in India and Sengal as a non-profit organization. The benefits of doing so include tax exempt status and greater access to funding opportunities within both countries.
Another priority we identified is enrolling our local staff in India and Africa in a technical institute that focuses on solar hardware installation, troubleshooting and maintenance. This will allow our in-country staff to quickly address any issues the villagers may have with their equipment. Training will also enable our local staff to instruct individuals within the village in basic solar troubleshooting and maintenance. In addition to technical training, we also plan on enrolling our local staff in project management classes. Project management training will help them coordinate and control the complex and diverse activities that go into successful project implementation and maintenance.
Third, the SVP began the preliminary steps of setting up a "help ticket system" for the villagers. The ticket system will convert basic SMS text messages sent by individual households into a help ticket email that will be registered on a ticket- tracking system automatically sent to SVP staff. This will help ensure that technical issues with the solar home systems can be addressed quickly, minimizing the time individual households go without power.
In 2015 the SVP also had the good fortune of being selected by the Minga Foundation as one of their project partners for 2016. The Minga Foundation has been doing international development work for over a decade, and specializes in community- oriented projects as well as helping start-up NGOs like the SVP with their capacity-building efforts. With Minga's help the SVP will initiate new strategies for success, such as community partnership agreements and post- implementation data collection in order to better evaluate the success of the projects..
The SVP has also been planning ways to expand our funding base for 2016 and beyond. This includes building a database of foundations and funding agencies that specifically finance solar electrification, and organizing a grant writing team with the goal of receiving at least two grants in 2016. Along with grant writing the SVP also plans on having two more fundraisers in 2016 in order to implement our third solar village project in India and our second in Senegal.
We are extremely excited about the progress we've made in 2015 and we are grateful to everyone who has helped make this progress possible. Everything the SVP has accomplished so far has been due to the help and support of our board members, volunteers and generous donors, and we are truly grateful. Because of the tremendous support we've received from so many people the future is even brighter.

|For an overview of alien blaster models in various games, see alien blaster.
The alien blaster is a small energy weapon of alien origin.
"A strange gun of obviously alien origin. It can support small energy cells, however."— In-game description, Fallout
The alien blaster is particularly devastating as a close range weapon, and along with the turbo plasma rifle is one of the most formidable weapons in the Fallout games to date.
It can be fired for 2 action points with Fast Shot and the Bonus Rate of Fire Perks. If used by a character with high skill levels and accompanying perks, it can cause up to 150 damage per hit. Very random damage and short range make it hard to consistently use effectively, so hope for a lot of critical shots.
The alien blaster can be found in the "Alien Ship" special encounter.
Fallout 2
The alien blaster can be bought from Willy, whom you meet during a random encounter north of Modoc.
- Additionally, the alien blaster can be picked up by hacking a terminal on the Enclave Oil rig in the maze room. By passing the science check when using the repair skill on a (each game randomly selected) maze room terminal one can find an Easter egg. The egg 'hatches' a special item depending on players tagged skill. If the player has speech tagged and over 100% the egg is the alien blaster. Note that the game checks from the ordered list (science, repair, gambling, outdoorsman, throwing, first aid, doctor, traps) first for a tagged skill over 100%, so in order to get the blaster the player mustn't have any of these skills tagged and over 100%.

Shop Closing May 31! Huge Sale!
About Tea & Oranges
Our Service PledgeI guarantee that all items have been designed and created by me unless otherwise stated. Occasionally, I may offer for sale items I have purchased from other artisans - and I will tell you that, and, when I can, tell you who they are. To the best of my ability I guarantee the truth of all claims made by me regarding the quality or origins of the components used in my own items.
And, most important, I want you to be happy with your purchase. If you are not, I will do what I can to make it right, or I will refund your purchase price in full upon return of the item, as long as you return it to me in the condition you received and follow the return procedures laid out by Ruby Lane. No hassles!
About UsABOUT PAYMENTS;
I accept most methods of payment but I prefer PAYPAL for its special services to both Sellers and Purchasers. For instance, your label is printed from information you provide, PayPal informs you of shipment dates and tracking information, and, in the one instance of a "lost package" in my almost 8 years with Ruby Lane, PayPal reimbursed both my client and myself for the cost of the item!
I also accept Amazon Payments, money orders, official checks and, in most cases, personal checks.
Ruby Lane Policy suggests that items be shipped within 3 to 5 business days after payment has cleared. I hold to that policy and the reason I don't ship immediately is that, after purchase, your item is thoroughly cleaned, scrupulously checked for quality issues, and then gift wrapped in a hot pink presentation box with black satin ribbon. It is then packaged in bubble wrap envelopes or Priority Mail shipping materials.
All my pieces are one of a kind, absolutely, positively. If you see something you love but it's been sold, I can create something very similar.
Feel free to ask - in most cases you will receive!
I am happy to create custom pieces for long-standing clients whom I've gotten to know through email. But custom work almost always requires a great deal of back and forth with emails, with searching out and often purchasing materials, and with continual interviewing to be sure the client will be delighted;
I've been an artist all my life - painting, decorating, embellishing everything that came within 3 feet of me. For the last 15 years, I've specialized in contemporary abstract paintings which I create with watermedia.
Designing and handcrafting jewelry is another road I'm taking on my artistic journey. For me, creating a piece of jewelry is similar to the process of creating a painting: it starts with a passionate vision, then there's lots of work with color and design and texture, and it culminates in the ultimate pleasure of the viewer/wearer.
I like being different, I enjoy being considered "original." So you won't find mass production here. My pieces are imagined and brought to reality once. The next piece will start and end someplace else.
I use the finest materials I can acquire. It's something I believe in no matter what I'm doing. I am very proud to be supporting the work of other artisans by using their pieces as components in my work: silver and vermeil pieces from the Karen Hilltribes of Thailand; handmade charms from American artists: and beautiful lampwork beads and focals torched by some of our country's best glass artists.
Come and take a look! I am sure you'll find something that will delight you!
Here's what happy customers have said about their purchases:

Taking a bit of inspiration from sprite's "three beautiful things" threads, here's what happened after work today:
- While walking home in the gorgeous weather this afternoon, the back strap on one of my Teva sandals broke and pulled out of the sole. So I walked home the better part of 1.3 miles barefoot. In an urban area. Possible "ouch," but I managed to miss what glass was around. It's probably the longest barefoot walk I've taken on paved surfaces since I took swim lessons when I was 4 and often had to cross an extremely hot parking lot on my way to the pool. Things learned: freshly-laid brick is nice on the feet, old sidewalk cement is not, and fresh sidewalk cement is very comfy.
- During the walk, a young boy in bare feet, baggie shorts and a floral shirt – who must've been no more than 5 or 6 – walked up to me, extended a hand, and said "ЗдравÑтвуйте! Hello! How are you today?" I tooke his hand, he gripped firmly but not too hard, and I said "отлично, вы." That I responded in Russian made the kid very happy, and he asked if I speak Russian. I answered "немного," and he smiled and wished me "a very happy day." His parents, standing off to the side, beamed proudly. It turns out it was the ambassador from Ukraine, and thanks me for being so nice to his son. I complemented their son, and might've made their afternoon. It certainly picked up my spirits.
- While I walked, I listened to a podcast of "The Geoff Show," something I haven't done in a while. During part of the show, Geoff remembered the old "Stars on 45" records of his youth in the late-70s and early-80s: a Dutch studio group would do a "master mixers" dance mix of songs from a particular group, making a long "hit-parade"-meets-disco-meets-elevator-music concoction that's so absurd it's sometimes very fun. And Geoff, being a fan of both "Stars on 45" and The Beatles, managed to cue up a mix-and-mash of their music, the "Stars on 45 Medley." It was very weird, kinda fun, and possibly the only full piece of music I've ever heard on their podcast (they usually remove the music to cut back on royalty and export legal snags).

I might be 30 now, but there are still a ridiculous amount of things I've not tried yet and have always wanted to. One day I dream of being a roller derby gal, but I can't even skate! So when I heard we were going to Edinburghs Roller Stop roller disco for part of Helen's birthday weekend, I was crazy excited … but also insanely nervous!
Always one to give things a good go, my fear of falling over was not going to hold me back this time. I hired a pair of roller skates, got me some wrist guards on and hit the floor… I might have looked like Bambi for those first few rounds of the hall, but actually I got really into it! The hardest part for me is stopping – the breaks being on the front of the shoe always makes me topple over. I had one bad fall on my hip at the start, but otherwise I made it out in one piece. Well, with my first sore fall out of the way I got over the fear of it happening again plus I have a bad ass memory of my first time on skates!
I've got to admit that now I've had a go at it I'm definitely going to go back and keep up the momentum. Roller skating is a great way to stay in shape without hitting the gym, which is all good in my books. The faster you go the more you burn and the more fun you have! Having said that, I think I can only go at a 'light jogging' pace, but it's a great place to start considering I could barely stand up when I first put the shoes on!
So I'm one step closer to my roller derby dream and I'm seriously ecstatic to have tried something new … I don't think I'll be reaching derby status any time soon, but it's nice to have a goal in the ole 'fit n healthy' department. For those of you who've never taken the plunge for fear of falling, I can honestly tell you you're missing out. No one cares that you've taken a topple, they just care that you're not hurt. Just remember that everyone is in the same boat, everyone started out the same as you and at the end of the day, falling is never as bad as you expect it to be!
Get your skates on and sign up to the next Roller Stop party here
Hope to see you there!

Resume Critique with Dr. Diane Krider
CMU PRSSA's 6th Annual Spring Conference
The Road to Reinvention
Resume Critique with Dr. Diane Krider
Here are ten resume tips I learned at Dr. Krider's session:
1. Remember who you're writing for.
2. Keep it succinct – this is not a tell-all piece.
3. Don't put anything on your resume that is illegal to ask (race, religion, sex, political party, age, or marital status, disabilities, veteran status, etc.). But, you can mention it if you think it will giev you an advantage. For example, you might want to mention that you are devout Catholic if applying for a job within a Catholic church.
4. Pay attention to what the job ad says. The ad says exactly what they are looking for.
5. Create a resume for each job.
6. Present all materials well. First, they will see the envelope, then the cover letter, then your resume, and last your writing samples. If you have a terrible cover letter (or one with spilled coffee on it), they might never make it to your resume.
7. Have someone in your field look at your resume before sending it out.
8. Don't put your hobbies in your resume.
9. Balance dark space with white space
10. One page or less for entry-level jobs.
What do you think is important to remember when creating a resume?
If you are a professional, what is one mistake you see often, or what is your biggest resume pet peeve?
"Adventures In Agency PR: Two Young Pros Tell All" with Lauren Panaretos and Nikki Stephan
CMU PRSSA's 6th Annual Spring Conference
The Road to Reinvention
Session 2: "Adventures In Agency PR: Two Young Pros Tell All" with Lauren Panaretos and Nikki Stephan
Lauren Panaretos and Nikki Stephan are account executives at Franco Public Relations Group in Detroit, Michigan. They both graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Integrative Public Relations and were active in PRSSA and PR Central.
The following are things I learned at their session:
- Media Tips
- Get familiar with the reporters
- Google Alerts – can be used to monitor clients nationally
- Media lists are important because you can't send the same release to every report (for example, a sports reporter won't care about business trends)
- Pitching – read the reporter's articles, be clear and concise on the phone, and when pitching to TV, let them know what the visuals could b
To work in an agency, you must be able to: (from their PowerPoint)
- Juggle multiple clients
- Be organized
- Track your time
- Pay attention to billing issues
- Be creative, "outside the box" thinker
- Be a flawless writer
One thing I didn't know about was tracking time. In order to bill clients, you must keep track of how much time you spend working on their accounts.
How to land the interview: (from their PowerPoint)
- Watch for spelling, grammar on resume
- Include work experience before education
- Get creative with your cover letter
- Showcase what makes you unique
- Build portfolio with most relevant work from classes and internships
- Get involved on campus and take on a PR role
Also, don't say that you are a "people person."
On your cover letter, it is important to show that you know the company and that you are interested in their clients. You also should find what makes you unique, include relevant information, and summarize your skills (teamwork skills, thriving in fast-paced environment, etc.)
How to land the job: (from their PowerPoint)
- Showcase your personality, confidence
- Show familiarity with company
- Ask questions
- Be able to sell yourself without being over the top
- Be prepared for a writing test and do well on it
- Write thank you cards
Also, as much as they are interviewing you, you are interviewing them.
Where to look for jobs: (from their PowerPoint)
- Company websites
- PRSA, IABC, Media Bistro websites
- PR Direcotires
- Avoid Monster, HotJobs, etc.
- Talk to your friends
- Never burn bridges with people
- Clean up your Facebook and MySpace accounts
Agency Tips: (from their PowerPoint)
- Every agency is different
- Remember, culture is key – find a place where you can be happy
- Dress appropriately
- Always maintain professionalism
- Think about the big picture
Also, when getting a job, you should ask about the starting salary, the advancement process, and the room for growth. Benefits and vacation/personal time are also important.
Lauren and Nikki said that the starting salary for agencies in this area is $25,000 to $30,000.
This was definitely my favorite session. Lauren and Nikki have a lot of energy and are very interesting to listen to. I actually job shadowed both of them last semester for IPR 101. There were some tips they gave that I had heard from then before, but this was still a very valuable session because of interview, job, and agency tips. I actually hope to someday work at Franco.
"Agency PR" with Robert Kolt
CMU PRSSA's 6th Annual Spring Conference
The Road to Reinvention
Session 1: "Agency PR" with Robert Kolt
Robert Kolt is CEO and president of Kolt Communications, Inc., a privately owned communications corporation located in Okemos, Michigan. He is a CMU alumni with an undergraduate degree in broadcast & cinematic arts and journalism. He also holds a graduate degree in communications from MSU.
The following is an outline of what I learned in his session called "Agency PR."
Kolt said that his corporation does a lot of strategic communications. For example, he might do research for a politician and tell them the facts and what they should say." Another example would be interview rehearsals for Consumers Energy's CEO.
Kolt Communications, Inc. offers media training, including message development strategies, speaking and presentation skills, and media interview techniques. They stage events that "help make news." They are licensed as fundrasiers as well. Kolt said that fundraising and grant writing are growing areas in the industry.
One past client Kolt talked to students about was a lottery winner that wanted to remain anonymous. He did not want his face shown because he had a criminal record. His corporation also has staged fires to show crisis communication skills, done ground breakings, and has handled a crisis situation with the United Way. He also does advertising.
Kolt Communications, Inc. usually takes one or two interns that are paid $10 per hour. He said he looks for a good writer. Good interpersonal skills are important. You also need to be a hard worker. Kolt said that employers want to know what you've done and see your samples.
Kolt said that he does not actively pitch to businesses. Many clients come to him through referrals or he bids on projects.
One thing to remember, Kolt said, is "it's not about you, it's about your client," Kolt said.
Kolt Communications, Inc. also handles a lot of crisis communications. He gave three steps to crisis management.
1. Prevention
2. Detection
3. Extinguishing
He said that many businesses don't come to him until they need help with step three.
On starting your own firm, Kolt suggested the following:
1. Create relationships – Never burn any bridge
2. Be honest, knowledgeable, and creative
3. Add value and power to clients
4. Be philanthropic
This session was helpful to me because I would like to start my own firm one day. It was nice to hear from someone that had graduated from CMU with a successful firm.

In Reply to: Mind in your purse posted by pamela on March 04, 2008 at 05:18:
: : : Does anyone know what the phrase "Mind in your purse" means?
: :
: : Well, if someone said "mind your purse" to me, I would think they were saying "keep an eye on your purse or someone might steal it". This seems to be a common understanding judging by a google search. I'm wondering if the "mind" has anything to do with the meaning of "mind" as "remember" (i.e. "mind your manners"). Byron, the poet, also had it as a line in a poem - I think in this context it may have meant be thrifty (with your passions) but I'm not sure. Here is the first and last part of the poem:
: : But now at thirty years my hair is grey--
: : (I wonder what it will be like at forty?
: : I thought of a peruke the other day--)
: : My heart is not much greener; and, in short, I
: : Have squandered my whole summer while 'twas May,
: : And feel no more the spirit to retort; I
: : Have spent my life, both interest and principal,
: : And deem not, what I deemed, my soul invincible.
: : No more--no more--Oh! never more on me
: : The freshness of the heart can fall like dew,
: : Which out of all the lovely things we see
: : Extracts emotions beautiful and new;
: : Hived in our bosoms like the bag o' the bee.
: : Think'st thou the honey with those objects grew?
: : Alas! 'twas not in them, but in thy power
: : To double even the sweetness of the flower.
: : No more--no more--Oh! never more, my heart,
: : Canst thou be my sole world, my universe!
: : ...
: : What are the hopes of man? Old Egypt's King
: : Cheops erected the first Pyramid
: : And largest, thinking it was just the thing
: : To keep his memory whole, and mummy hid;
: : But somebody or other rummaging
: : Burglariously broke his coffin's lid:
: : Let not a monument give you or me hopes,
: : Since not a pinch of dust remains of Cheops.
: : But I, being fond of true philosophy,
: : Say very often to myself, 'Alas!
: : All things that have been born were born to die,
: : And flesh (which Death mows down to hay) is grass;
: : You've passed your youth not so unpleasantly,
: : And if you had it o'er again--'twould pass--
: : So thank your stars that matters are not worse,
: : And read your Bible, sir, and mind your purse.
I don't know who first broke off these stanzas and published them separately under the title "Growing Old", but it wasn't Byron. They come near the end of the first canto of his "Don Juan". Nothing wrong with excerpting, but I think some of the wit is lost when the lines are run together without regard for the ottava rima form. - Bac.
[postscript] I suspect "mind in your purse" is an accusation that you think only of your own advantage, in matters where morality demands you take a broader view.
