No sleeping in the barn
Finished off the barn today. Painted the horse skeletons Dheneb Stone, followed by a Badab Black wash and then a drybrush of Bleached Bone. I also painted watered down PVA glue onto the mud to make it look a bit wetter.
Used Flesh Wash to rust the metal areas.
Same application as on the horses has gone into the bone pile.
Rather than open more paints, I just used the left over paint I had from all the areas we have already looked at to paint the last part. So Dheneb Stone has been used as the base for the arrow feathers, as well as the sack tied to the bow and the satchel around the bird. Black wash was then applied to these areas, and mixes of Dheneb Stone and Bleached Bone were used to drybrush highlights.
And thus we have a finished barn.
Since I still haven't gone and picked up more Emerald Green, I went back to the cupboard and pulled out this piece of scenery I never finished. It is a Grail Knights hovel, what he lives in while he spends his days guarding a Grail Chapel. There is a Grail Chapel piece that accompanies this one, which you can see a little part of in the background. The idea that it is a hollowed out tree stump turned into a makeshift house.
First of all, the relevant knightly paraphernalia was stacked out the front. A helmet and shield from the Knights of the Realm sprues, the bottle from the Empire Halberdiers box, and I also think the sword is from there. With the helmet I had to cut the ribbon off of the back and re-attach it, so that it looked like it was sitting on the ground.
Next I added the mandatory sneaking at. This time I picked a particularly large one, with tunes and canisters covering it.
I decided to put some kind of bedding or ground covering inside the hovel. To make this hay scatter I cut bristles off of an old paint brush. The ground inside the stump was covered in a layer of PVA glue, over which I sprinkled the bristles. I had to use a popsicle stick to push it down into the PVA glue a little.
With the scatter inside the stump I could build a fire outside the entrance. I cut the top section off of the head of the Empire Flagellant with his hair on fire. This became the central flame for my fire. Logs were made using plasticard rod, glued down into a rough stacked pattern.
Lastly I decided to add in an axe and some more fire wood. The axe is from a previous edition Skeletons weapon arm, with the fingers shaved off of the shaft. Again, logs are made from plasticard rod.
After basing was applied I decided to glue a Bretonnian lance to the top of the hovel. It just give the model the right amount of height. Once this is dr I can basecoat it, and paint both this hovel and the Grain Chapel in tandem.
Countryside in blue
Started on the mud. Drybrushed green lightly over what was there, to give it an off shade colour. Then drybrushed progressively lighter layers of brown. Next I'll detail the skeletons using Dheneb Stone and Bleached Bone, after which I can apply a thinned down layer of PVA glue. Another highlight of brown might be required after this. Depends on how 'plasticy' it ends up looking.
Now seemed like as good a time as any for an experiment. I have decided to paint some details on in blue, mostly the shield above the door and some writing on the barn. However, since I had the blue out already I decided to try something I haven't done before. I also undercoated all the metal areas in the same blue. The idea is that the blue undercoat 'tints' the Mithril Silver when applied, giving the piece a stronger colour connection. Mostly though I was just game to see what happened.
The opposite side, with blue applied.
And Mithril Silver applied to the metal sections. As you can see, doing a couple of lighter layers gives the metal a slight blue hue. Of course, I'll apply Flesh Wash rust to them soon.
First of all, the Doom-flayer is now available for inspection in the Showcase section. So go check out this converted machine of spinning saw death.
News on the barn. I attached a couple of extra details the other day, and then based it.
This yard kind of area had a thin layer of finer scatter applied. The idea is going to be to, once this is painted, apply a couple of layers of watered down PVA glue. Hopefully this will create a watery, muddy kind of appearance.
While the outside area is this mix of small irregular stones and round scatter.
So today I gave it a couple of coats of base colour. The ground is following the same basic scheme as the Skaven tower, while the yard will contain a bit more brown and green. I also have to think up an application for some of the board areas, to break up the large brown areas. Suggestions welcome.
Barn raising
With Emerald Green still out of the picture I decided to turn my attention else where. For now. This barn has been sitting in my scenery cupboard for quite a while now. So I decided to pull it out continue its construction.
The basic shape is built, but I never got around to detailing it. So, here we go.
Now, the first thing that occurred to me when I started working on this was, I don't know what stuff you would see around a barn. Rather than go do some research (I was hiding in the game room while the partner did the vacuuming. Note to self: get a computer and the internet out here soon) I decided to rummage though my bits box. Anything that looked like it could be turned into some kind of a Bretonnian farm item was put into a pile.
So here we have one side of the barn. I broke popsicle sticks up into quarters, and then snapped these quarters into halves. This was then unevenly piled together to create a wood pile. The bell and parchment are straight from the box and glued to the wall. I also dug up a couple of little sacks and a knife, which I arranged on the ground near to the wood pile.
The hooks holding the farm tools and rope are from the old Dark Eldar Warriors sprue. Both the scythe and pitch fork are from the Zombie sprue. I just cut the arms off at the wrists and shaved the hands away, so that I just had the implements.
To make the rope I used string, much like I did with the Skaven tower. However, I learnt my lesson last time. On the tower the string is a little too thick, making the rope look far too bulky and less convincing. With this small rope I cut a length of string, and then untwisted a strand, leaving me with something half the thickness of the original string. I then rolled it into a rough circle, and rolled the two ends between my fingers. This wound the two ends together and held the loop in shape.
I wanted this scenery piece to be equally as macabre as it was idyllic. So at the rear of the barn I have made this skeleton pile. Who made it, or what it is for, I don't know. But I like the idea of this sinister little aspect.
This is the other side of the barn. The axe in a stump comes straight from the Men-at-arms sprue, while the logs are cut from Skaven spear shafts. Again, I broke up popsicle sticks to create another wood pile. I want all my scenery to connect together somehow, so I have decided to include a coupe of rats on this barn piece. In this case there is a small rat scampering behind the wood pile. No doubt up to no good!
The back corner was looking a little bare, so I put this bow pack and arrows there. I think maybe a pheasant or rabbit or something might be needed to hold this part together.
On the front of the barn, above the door, I put this small shield with a fleur-de-lys on it.
Lastly I detailed the small yard. Horse skeletons seemed like a sensible inclusion, as well as a small robed Skaven whispering orders to a nearby rat. I'm sure it is all above-board.
So there we go, an impromptu and unplanned detailing of a barn. It needs some more added to it, but it is coming along nicely.

The School of Public Health has been organised into 6 academic divisions:
- Division of Behavioural Sciences
- Division of Community Medicine and Public Health Practice
- Division of Epidemiology and Biostatistics
- Division of Health Economics, Policy and Management
- Division of Kinesiology
- Division of Public Health Laboratory Sciences
In 2014, the School was official designated as a WHO Collaborating Centre for Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Control. The designation of HKU School of Public Health as a WHO Collaborating Centre is the first of such kind at the University. The WHO Collaborating Centre will coordinate research on the control and prevention of infectious diseases and providing local and regional education and training under the joint directorship of Professor Gabriel M Leung and Professor Wing-hong Seto.
HKU and the Institut Pasteur have jointly supported a research unit in HKU since October 1999. In December 2013 the University of Hong Kong (HKU) and the Institut Pasteur renewed their partnership by establishing the Hong Kong University-Pasteur Research Pole (HKU-PRP) under the School of Public Health. HKU-PRP aims to be a distinctive medical research laboratory with the goal to improve health by developing new ways to treat diseases.
The School of Public Health also hosts an WHO H5 reference laboratory, and has a major role in the HKU State Key Laboratory of Emerging Infectious Diseases.
Research in the School of Public Health has been organized to fall mainly under two broad interdisciplinary clusters, Influenza and Other Infections of Public Health Significance, and
Non-Communicable Diseases in Global Health.
In addition, the school has a major role in the HKU-wide Strategic Research Theme on Public Health, and two large research centres in the Faculty of Medicine namely the Public Health Research Centre and the Centre of Influenza Research.
The Centre for Psycho-Oncology Research & Training (CePORT) was established in January 2002 aiming to develop the evidence base for secondary and tertiary prevention, primarily psychosocial, in Asian cancer patients.
Recognising the need for core support in biostatistics and clinical research methodology, in January 2015 the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine created the Biostatistics and Clinical Research Methodology Unit (BCRMU) to provide support on quantitative research methods.

An in-theater recording (shot during a screening at Celebration V this month) of a deleted scene from Return of the Jedi has been making the rounds. In it, Luke Skywalker sits in a Tatooine cave putting the finishing touches on his lightsaber, presumably just before he sends the droids (who are also visible for a second) to Jabba the Hutt's palace.
There's been speculation that this scene will be made available on a Star Wars blu-ray edition, whenever that comes out. Even if the scene is a total fake, as some have speculated, George Lucas has done far worse with his other "improvements."
Lucasfilm has been yanking the vid off the Tube as fast as users are reposting it, so watch it while you can.
My reaction? Very cool. Very, very cool…
Luke looks like a true warrior monk beneath his cowl which alludes to a more mysterious, darker depiction of the character—almost Sith-like. This, to my mind, shows how on the knife's edge Luke is between the light and dark sides.
I wish the film stayed on this tack and further explored this more mystical side of Luke. His Zen-like passivity and initial disregard for his own life, coupled with his body language that tells us a truly awesome (and frightening) power slumbers within him. We see it in his "surrender" to his father, and later when he defies the Emperor.
It's really the first glimpse we get of what a Jedi once was and could be again. Unfortunately, these brilliant moments are wedged between the messy and embarrassingly amateurish action scenes on the moon of Endor. Perhaps Mark Hamill's acting abilities just weren't up for the challenge, or Lucas wouldn't let his director go too deep into character, but it seems an opportunity to give ROTJ gravitas and humanity was nearly lost.
Still, in rewatching ROTJ about a month ago, I was struck by how well it holds up, particularly how magnificent the third act is. Aside from the epic space battle which Star Wars is known for, the real heart of the film is the confrontation on the Death Star and the last stand between Jedi and Sith. Luke's brief embrace of the dark side to overcome his father is one of the most beautifully shot sequences in the entire trilogy, and Darth Vader's death still holds much of its emotional potency.

505-507 Upper Richmond Road West, East Sheen, SW14 7DE
It will come as little surprise that I'm a little behind with certain reviews and I visited the Lofty Turtle just after New Year after buying a voucher from Living Social. The Lofty Turtle is not the easiest place to get to, especially on a day when the trains weren't running but in the end we got all the way to East Sheen.
The Lofty Turtle is most certainly an American bar / restaurant and their choice of American craft beers certainly supports that with a HUGE selection. The day we were in there the place was very quiet but the service was excellent and the place has a very friendly atmosphere.
As I was using a deal we both had the King Kong burger which is 2 half pound burgers, crispy bacon, cheddar, jalapeños and spicy BBQ sauce but all the options on the menu sounds great! The burger comes on a set of scales which is very cool and the deal also included fries which for once despite being very nice were completely unnecessary when faced with a burger of such magnitude. The burger itself was very tasty and the bacon was perfectly crispy. My main grumble would be that there was too much meat (I know, I didn't think there was such thing either!) and two quarter pounders would have meant the bacon and cheese flavour would have been greater. The other problem was eating the burger, it was so big that picking it up and eating was pretty much impossible and I ended up having to take one of the burgers out and then I still needed to cut the burger in half, first world problems indeed!
The fries were also really nice and crispy but sadly I couldn't manage that many unsurprisingly! Meal over and I was well and truly stuffed, the food quality was great and I really enjoyed my visit to The Lofty Turtle. If I'm in the area I wouldn't hesitate to pop in again sometime.
Overall Score: 8 A huge burger with a huge taste (and requiring a huge appetite!). I don't say this lightly but a little less meat would improve the burger. Two quarter pound patties would make a good burger into an amazing burger and thus well worth the trip to SW London, that said there are plenty of other great sounding options on the menu!!

In response to a request from i eat puppies, here are my thoughts on the Karl Rove dustup.
I think this shows just how desperate the Democrats and liberals are. There is no credible evidence that Karl Rove broke any law. Yet, the lack of evidence does not stop the media, the Democrats and the Left from trying and convicting him in the press and in the Press Room.
If there is evidence that Karl Rove, or anyone else, broke any law, why don't we leave it to the prosecutors to determine, and let the reporters report, instead of interrogate?
Two sources that I trust, former Judge Andrew Napolitano and Victoria Toensing, both say that Karl Rove did not break the law in question. Ms. Toensing wrote or participated in the writing of the law, which was narrowly drawn to address a specific issue, the efforts of former CIA agent Philip Agee to identify CIA covert operatives.
According to Judge Napolitano, there are two requirements for the law to be broken: First, the individual in question, Rove, must have had access to classified information directly through his official role. He didn't, the Judge said.
Second, the information about the protected individual, Plame, must not have been made available prior to Rove's alleged release of it. The Judge notes that Ms. Plame's husband, Joe Wilson, had published that information himself prior to the discussion between Mr. Rove and the reporter (Cooper) on Wilson's Web site!
There is a further question of whether Ms. Plame was undercover at the time all of this came about, and no one has said definitely that she was, and further they have not said that at any time is it clear that she would have been protected by this law, as far as I have been able to determine.
So, it appears that the Democrats are shooting their mouths off before they know what they are talking about. They have only one goal in mind, and that goal has nothing whatsoever to do with national security, or protecting the identity of covert operatives.
And, while we are on the subject of Valerie Plame's outing, have you ever wondered just why The New York Times refuses to reveal the source its reporter is now in jail to protect? Karl Rove released reporters from maintaining his anonymity, so it must not be Mr. Rove that the Times is protecting.
It seems to me that this is what the press ought to be wondering about. And as for the Democrats/liberals, they ought to know better. But as they say, "desperate people do desperate things."

Some far right lying young earth creationist took exception to a comment I made on an open forum (that he is scared to join) and 'proved me wrong' by posting on his own closed page a couple of old articles from the website of the right wing Daily Telegraph newspaper - not smart.
I repeat - the fake news on Facebook mostly comes from the far right (and from Russian/pro-Russian sources). That is a fact. Which the BBC reported on eg after the EU referendum. The issue has rarely been out of the news, in the UK and America and elsewhere, in the past two years or more. The interference in democracy has been scandalous.
If Sorensen lies again about my post I will respond via email since this is veering off topic for the BCSE page.
Still waiting for you to score that goal Bob and prove me a 'liar' liar Bob. You were awarded a penalty two days ago - remember?

Could it be a probe using a sail?''
I don't think so.
But if an interstellar comet named Oumuamua disproves a 6,000 year old universe - and it does - then maybe it's an alien probe or spacecraft instead? Makes sense doesn't it?
Bob's gone truly wacky now. Agreeing - just because it suits his anti-scientific agenda - with something mentioned in the Daily Wire.
His arguments?
(1) There are NO aliens because Darwinist evolutionists are searching for them (and Darwinist evolutionists must be incorrect by definition).
(2) There are SOME aliens because Oumuamua might really have been an alien probe or spacecraft (no it was a comet or possibly asteroid - an INTERSTELLAR one) and thus young earth creationism has 'not' been utterly falsified (again) after all (because these aliens must presumably have been 'local' and able to propel their craft past the sun just 6,000 years after its creation).

NEUTRON DANCE: We had pretty much forgotten The Pointer Sisters until Family Guy reminded us about the "Neutron Dance." Then we saw Beverly Hills Cop again and realized that we needed to take another listen to the group's catalog. For a "Jump"-start on your '80s memories, light a "Fire" under your tush and head to the Winspear tonight at 8 p.m.
LOVE IS HERE TO STAY: Loni Love has made us laugh through the unnecessary "sequels" to VH1's I Love the '80s, '90s, '70s, ad infinitum. So we're intrigued to hear her solo set at UTA's Rosebud Theatre tonight at 7:30 p.m. Maybe we'll have the "Best Week Ever" after seeing her show.
#FLIGHT: Here's an event wine lovers and Twitter addicts can both enjoy. Cru wine bar in the West Village is having a Tweetup wine tasting today at 5 p.m. Word of caution, if you take off early to get to the first flight, make sure your boss isn't following your Tweets -- "lol, took off early for some #stsupery tweetup action. dumb boss!" doesn't look good on a HR pink slip. (Side note, we've got a Twitter, too. @dfwaroundtown for the latest updates...)

Works In Progress/Getting Started
HOLLYWOODSCRIPT.COM'S "WORKS IN PROGRESS" is a service tailored for all writers who want deep developmental help as a prerequisite to mounting their creative offensive, i.e.: BEFORE the script is even started, which is the way the pros do it. It also works for writers who are already in the EARLY STAGES of fleshing out their ideas and beyond, and even for writers who are well into their draft and have stalled out somewhere and realize that critical prep work needs to be revised before continuing on.
WORKS IN PROGRESS (WIP) is an intense, personal, "one on one" developmental experience which takes many forms, depending upon your needs. Writers usually want help in two areas: developing a specific project and/or instruction on HOW TO develop and execute. But help is often hard to find. Taking a course of some kind is fine, but there's little instant gratification and it can be expensive. We trust that WORKS IN PROGRESS will meet these needs and more.
What we give you is 5 full hours of personal attention for $295.00. We converse on the phone, e-mail back and forth etc. If you have material to work with—we read outlines, scenes, treatments, the works. We make suggestions, help craft material, set goals, attack problems and assist you in dramatically upgrading the overall quality of your work at all levels. And we'll keep careful track of time used and give you an accounting each time we speak. Also, we don't nickel and dime people for short check-in type calls.
We also work with writers who have finished a script but want intense, ongoing help during the revision process. (If you have an existing script that we haven't already read, we'll be happy to do so. It does take some time, but we'll try to keep the cost to a minimum.)
This arrangement is for writers who want ongoing contact, IMMEDIATE access and help on demand. It's like literary room service–well kinda…Also, you get to use the 5 hours over a vast period of time. (The 5 hours is good for a whole year from the first consultation.) If it turns out that you only require a few hours help and, at that time, you feel OK about proceeding with your project, we'll apply any leftover payment to reading your script when you're ready. It's hard to see how you can lose.
Works In Progress can also be considered a dynamic way of learning HOW TO WRITE SCREENPLAYS WHILE ACTUALLY PRODUCING PRODUCT!
FYI, most pros have the benefit of creative interfacing at the birth of a project and beyond. That's what producers and development people do. It really helps. WORKS IN PROGRESS will give you this type of benefit.
If you're ready, please mail materials (however modest – even if it's just a short synopsis) to either of us along with a check for $295 made out to Hollywoodscript.com LLC. Materials can also be sent electronically (PDF or Final Draft preferred, but try whatever you have).
If you want to pay by credit card, please click the PayPal button right below, but be sure to add $6 ($8 outside U.S.) as they charge for this service:
Please include a signed copy of our release. Upon receipt, we'll contact you immediately and set up our first conference. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Releases can be signed, scanned/emailed, mailed, or faxed to (215) 665-1907 (daytime only).

I don't think any mother would like to walk in on their son receiving oral sex, but for one mom in Texas, this was the unfortunate reality. Erica Moore claims she was lying in bed one night when she decided to walk around and check on her kids. When she entered her 15-year-old son's room, she reportedly caught him engaged in the sexual act -- with her male cousin, who happens to be 18.
Moore, "disgusted" with what she saw, picked up a cord and allegedly started beating her son with it -- so much to the point that he reportedly had to be taken to the hospital. Her reasoning? He was "committing a homosexual act" -- something she's very against -- in her house.
It's interesting -- and a little shocking -- that Moore resorted to allegedly hitting her own child after walking in on this act. And that the "homosexual" thing is what she's concerned with here. Never mind the fact that parents should be accepting of whatever their kids' sexual orientation is (and that unnecessary violence is wrong!), how about the fact that this is incest?! Or the fact that her cousin was 18, and her son 15?! Isn't that sexually abusing a minor? Reportedly hitting her child (who's the victim in that situation) to the point of hospitalization was the wrong reaction to have. And her reasoning behind it is just strange.
More from The Stir: 10-Year-Old Babysitter Arrested for Child Abuse: What's Wrong With This Picture?
Moore is now facing assault charges with bodily injury to a family member, and if convicted, could face jail time. Police say that Moore went too far, causing bleeding and leaving marks on the her son's thighs, forearms, hands, torso, and back. Child Protective Services' Marissa Gonzales, said: "If you are leaving the child with severe injuries or bruises, then obviously we might be talking about abuse." Moore's reaction to the whole thing? "I actually caught this going on in my house so how was I supposed to react to it? Was I supposed to just let it go? No! We were taught to discipline our kids and we whoop our kids."
What do you think of this?

Tutor profile: Brenna D.
Subject: Writing
How do I start my research paper?
The very first place to start is to find a topic that interests you. Research requires a lot of work, so you want to find something that is both broad enough that you can find enough support, but narrow enough that you won't be overwhelmed by information or re-writing already well-trodden ground.
Subject: English
How does the theme of epistemology tie into Shakespeare's "Hamlet"?
Epistemology questions what we understand to be "true", and why we perceive it to be true. Throughout the entirety of the play we must question knowledge and reality - can Hamlet's ghost be trusted? Is it even real? Is Gertrude innocent or merely pretending to be innocent? Is young Hamlet mad or merely pretending to be mad? Epistemology drives the plot forward and contributes to the wide variety of interpretations of characters.
Subject: Digital Media
Explain in your own words what Marshal McLuhan's theory "the medium is the message" means. How does it relate to media consumption?
McLuhan posits that, rather than the message being more or less important than the means by which it is transmitted, the medium is itself the important part of communication. How we consume information is thus "the message". By examining the medium - texting, television ads, SnapChat, etc. - we can learn something about both the producers of the product and the recipients.

Synopsis: It's The Getaway... with some soft-core porn thrown in for good measure.
Blurb From the VHS Jacket: "In this special Unrated version, Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin set the screen ablaze! Featuring erotic footage never before seen in American theatres, this hot, steamy action-thriller delivers rapid-fire excitement and heart-pounding suspense."
What Did I Learn?: 1) Kim Basinger (or her body double) looks fantastic when topless. 2) Switching locker keys with an unsuspecting mark at the train station is... hey, wait a minute – they reused the same line?!?
You Might Like This Movie If: you know that it isn't the worst film to ever sport the title of "Getaway".
Really?: 1) I can see Rudy murdering Frank in order to steal his share of the loot, but shooting Frank while operating a moving... hey wait a minute, they kept that scene from the original?! 2) In this version, Doc is sprung from a Mexican jail, and then commits crimes in the US. Would he really want to escape to Mexico?
Rating: As I watched The Getaway, I kept asking myself: why did they make this movie? It's nearly a scene-for-scene re-enactment of the superior 1972 original. Basinger and Baldwin are both quite good, and it's not a bad film if you've never seen the McQueen-McGraw version, but I have to give Director Roger Donaldson a big, fat "F" for unoriginality. And considering the VHS jacket features a small image of James Woods, couldn't somebody have figured out a way to include him for more than the first 20-30 minutes or so? 6/10 stars.

In The Science Bit I attempt to demystify science and scientists, to show how scientific ideas can be used in everyday contexts, to highlight abuses of scientific jargon and attempts to exploit public confusion about science, and to record examples of how people in public life (who should know better) can often struggle with scientific concepts.
And I occasionally drift in a more unfocused manner.

Top interview questions every candidate must prepareMonday, October 27, 2014 , Written by Anasua Chakraborty
Want to increase your chances of getting that dream job? The solution is pretty simple, prep it up! Although there is no set flow or format for a job interview to follow; there are a set of questions that are guaranteed to crop up.
Here is the list of the most common interview questions that you must be prepared to answer during an interview session:-
1) "Tell me about yourself"
This is usually the opening question and as first impression is the key, develop a 60 to 90 seconds personal branding statement that touches your work history, your qualifications, briefly highlighting your credentials and accomplishments. Practice the order in which you are going to put things together. However don't make it sound as if you have just mugged up a speech. Don't go into too much detail – your interviewer will probably take notes and ask you to expand on any areas where they'd like more information. If you are going for sales/client facing job for example, project yourself to be more than just a capable communicator.
2) "What are your greatest strengths"
For this particular question, make sure to provide tangible skills. Don't waste your time or the employer's with, "I'm really a great team player," or "I have excellent communication skills." Instead, describe your ability to bring new clients on board or talk about your knack for increasing sales, even in highly competitive markets. If you're not sure where to start, take a look at the job description. There is usually a section listing candidate requirements, which should give you an idea of what they are looking for.
3) "Tell me about your weaknesses"
Indeed the most dreaded question- no need to pour your heart out in front of the interview panel- talk about something that you have made positive and show how it has worked to your benefit. Example: "There was a time when I was a bit impatient with team members who weren't able to complete their work within stipulated timeframe. Over the years, I have realised that my personal standards are different from my colleagues/team members and it is no longer an issue for me." Remember, you don't have to mention your every quirk, tic, or foible. That would just cost you the golden opportunity.
4) Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?
Put across both your short-term and long-term goals. Talk about the kind of job you'd eventually like to do and how you are going to get to that level, relating this in some way back to the position you're interviewing for. Bring out your ambitious side and show the employer that you have the determination to make the most of every job you have to get where you want to be.
5) Why do you want to work here?
Now you have to carefully answer this one! And never utter the phrase "I just need a job. The employer expects an answer that indicates you've given this some thought. Prep up for such questions beforehand, have a good inside knowledge of the company's values, mission statement, development plans and products. Use this information to describe how your goals and ambition matches their company ethos and how you would relish the opportunity to work for them.

This is my second post on World Relief and serving refugees. To read the first post click here.
After our group helped set up two apartments for arriving refugee families in May, Cason & I kept feeling tugged back to World Relief to do more. We both have a passion for the international community, and this finally seemed like the perfect place for us to be serving here in Nashville. We are involved in church and serving the church community (leading small groups, Cason is a deacon, etc), but it was way past time to start reaching out to those not in the church. So we went through the volunteer application process and helped with a few little things through the summer.
When fall rolled around, our church was doing another "Great Day of Service" and again our class signed up to help World Relief. It was going to be apartment set-ups again, until something changed at the last minute. With one week to go we changed courses completely and were led to host a baby shower for 5 pregnant refugee women (1 had actually just had their baby)!
These families come to the US with virtually nothing. Most of the time they have one suitcase to bring to start their lives over. These people, and World Relief, are always in such great need of help and donations. They accept all household items, especially furniture, kitchen supplies, etc. World Relief helps them get an apartment here, helps them adjust to life, and find employment. But they are only able to give them $425 per person, one time only. A family of four comes and only gets $1700 one time and that goes to pay for their deposits, rent, utilities, everything. That money does not last long. How long would $1700 cover your family of four?
Can you imagine welcoming a baby in to this world and literally all you have is 2 outfits, 2 bottles, and a carseat that the hospital gave you? For the Somali woman who had delivered the week prior, that is all they had. The other women expecting babies soon had nothing.
The whole experience turned in to such a God thing. In one week flat our little group gathered car seats, cribs, pack and plays, strollers, bottles, outfits, diapers galore, wipes, formula, you name it. Everything times 5. Each woman went home with a car load! It was amazing how it all came together! Only God could have orchestrated that.
They generally don't have their own transportation or are sharing one car amongst 6+ intergenerational family members. And so, one of the most meaningful parts of it all for me was picking them up and taking them home at the end. One friend & I went to the apartment complex where the Bhutanese & 2 Burmese women lived. I personally drove Dhan, the Bhutanese woman. It was an eye opening experience to drive into an apartment complex that I had personally previously labeled as "ghetto" and to realize that pretty much everyone in there was actually a refugee. It was like a punch to the gut. There were kids out playing with each other. The people were so friendly and helpful as we tried to track down our ladies. And worse yet, we used to live in an apartment complex right next to it, and even still our house is only a few miles away. These amazingly resilient people are living literally in my backyard and there is so much we can do, and should be doing, to help them.
After the shower, our husbands came and helped us load up all the loot and take the ladies back. We were able to deliver the gifts in to their homes and meet their families, who were all so grateful and smiling so wide. It was extremely humbling, and convicting. I turned to my husband at one point in the parking lot and simply said to him, "I like it here."
For those of you in the Nashville area, we have learned in the last many months that much of that corridor down Nolensville Road that many people label unsafe and the ghetto, is actually made up of these wonderful refugee people. People just trying to make a living and provide a safe new life for their families. They just need some help to get on their feet.
I will write another post with more on World Relief later.
But below is the story that Fox 17 News did on the baby shower, including some footage of our attempt at games that didn't involve much English. 🙂

Around London: Taking to the skies over the Thames; a new plumber in Cannon Street; and, new images of war at IWM…
October 13, 2011
• The proposed cable car crossing of the Thames will be sponsored by airline Emirates in a 10-year, £36 million deal announced last Friday. To be known as the 'Emirates Air Line', the cable car will link the DLR station Royal Victoria with the Jubilee Line station North Greenwich and will involve the creation of two new cable car stations bearing the sponsor's name – Emirates Greenwich Peninsula on the south bank and Emirates Royal Docks on the north. It is the first time a corporate brand will appear on the Tube map. Transport for London has said the new service could be operational by summer 2012 (although whether it will be ready for the Olympics remains uncertain). It will feature 34 cable car gondolas and ferry as many as 2,500 passengers across the river every hour with an expected two million passengers to use the service each year. The journey is expected to take five minutes and will see the gondolas travelling at a height of 160 feet above the river. The sponsorship deal was announced by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, along with Tim Clark, president of Emirates Airline, and Mike Brown, managing director of London Underground and Rail.
• The Duke of Gloucester unveiled a new statue, called Plumber's Apprentice, at Cannon Street Station last week to mark the 400th anniversary of the granting of a Royal Charter to London's Worshipful Company of Plumbers. Sculpted by Martin Jennings (he also created the statue of British poet Sir John Betjeman that now stands in St Pancras Station), the seven foot tall bronze statue is said to underline the livery company's ongoing commitment to train young plumbers. The company, which was formed in 1365, received its charter from King James I in 1611. From 1690, following the destruction of the company's previous hall in the Great Fire of London, it was based in a building on the site of the railway station. In 1863, it was forced to again move when the hall was compulsorily purchased to make way for the railway. Also present at the unveiling were the Lord Mayor of London, Michael Bear, and the Lady Mayoress, herself a sculptress and liverymen of the Worshipful Company of Plumbers. For more, see www.plumberscompany.org.uk.
• On now: Shaped by War: Photographs by Don McCullin. The Imperial War Museum is hosting the largest ever exhibition of the life and works of acclaimed photographer Don McCullin. The display features some 250 photographs including rarely seen before portraits of anonymous victims of war, contact sheets, objects, magazine and personal memorabilia. Conflicts covered include those of the Cold War, in places like Vietnam and Cambodia, Bangladesh and the Middle East – the latter include images from the Gulf War and the 20o3 invasion of Iraq. There is also a newly commissioned video in which McCullin talks about the exhibition. Runs until 15th April, 2012. An admission charge applies. For more, see www.iwm.org.uk.

Russia is sending bombers into the air over Syria armed with air-to-air missiles, after a Russian warplane was shot down by a Turkish jet for allegedly straying into Turkish airspace.
Russian Aerospace Forces spokesman Colonel Igor Klimov said that Russian SU-34 fighter-bombers would not just carry AFAB-500 aerial bombs and KAB-500 guided bombs, but also "short and medium range air-to-air missiles".
The missiles "are equipped with homing devices and are capable of hitting aerial targets at a distance of 60km (37.2 miles)," said Klimov.
On 29 November, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that the body of a pilot, who is believed to have been killed by a Syrian rebel group after parachuting from the plane, had been given to Turkish authorities. He has ruled out apologising for the incident, as the diplomatic dispute between the countries intensified.
Russia responded to the downing of the Russian SU-24 jet on 24 November with economic sanctions, and accusations that Turkish officials back jihadist group Islamic State (Isis). The Kremlin claims that the jet did not stray into Syrian airspace, and the one pilot who survived said it did not receive any warnings before being shot down.
The Turkish military has released an audio recording of what it claims is the warning being issued to the fighter jet.
Russia deployed the S-400 missile defence system to Syria in the wake of the incident.

Community Engagement
Community engagement opportunities
The City of Bunbury's goal is to support a highly-engaged and involved community which works with us on strategy development and implementation. We aim to actively seek input from our community and stakeholders on key decisions and projects that affect Bunbury.
We do this primarily through our Social Pinpoint online engagement hub, accessible here . (For any community engagement project we communicate with our community in a range of ways however our Social Pinpoint hub will always contain all current community engagement information). Opportunities to engage are posted all the time so please check back often to see what's new. Results of community engagement undertaken in the last 12 months is also viewable.
Draft Sport and Recreation Strategy 2019-2029
The community will be invited to have its input on the City of Bunbury draft Sport and Recreation Strategy 2019-2029 (the Strategy) when it goes out for public comment on Friday 23 August.
Bunbury City Council noted and endorsed the Strategy for advertising with a public consultation period of six weeks.
As an informing document the Strategy will provide strategic guidance to Council and the community in relation to the provision of sport, recreation and physical activity. It also links directly to the City's Public Open Space Strategy (Parks and Playgrounds) in relation to the provision and maintenance of sportsgrounds.
It also addresses all of the City's current sporting facilities, accounts for current and projected future demand, considers the provision of facilities within the Bunbury Geographe regional context and ensures that facilities meet the changing demands for provision in relation to sport and physical activity, participation, population growth and demographic change over time.
The draft Strategy has been developed in close consultation with key stakeholders, user groups and the wider community. In depth reviews of existing facilities and as well as research into current and developing industry trends have also been considered.

Germany striker Timo Werner's enviable scoring record after only eight internationals has earned him a starting spot in attack with fellow forward Mario Gomez bowing to the talented 21-year-old less than a year before the World Cup.
Werner burst onto the international scene in the past year and has so far netted six times for Germany, including three at the Confederations Cup this summer, where he was joint top scorer.
The RB Leipzig forward, whose speed and versatility up front has given Germany far more options, has muscled his way into the team and his two goals in their 6-0 rout of Norway on Monday further tightened his hold on the spot.
"He will dominate the attack for Germany for the next 10 years," the 32-year-old Gomez, who has himself scored a highly respectable 31 goals in 71 matches, told reporters after also getting onto the scoresheet against Norway.
"It is likely he will do the same in Europe if he continues like that. He is level-headed and does a fantastic job. We need someone like Timo in such a form if we want to be world champions."
Werner has not had an easy ride so far, switching last year from then relegated home club VfB Stuttgart to RB Leipzig, despised by many German fans for their big budget thanks to energy drinks maker Red Bull.
Despite being booed in some games, he went on to score 21 league goals in his first season there and his goal run shows no signs of drying up.
His strikes for Germany have contributed to their best ever World Cup qualifying campaign that sees them a point away from booking their ticket to Russia with two qualifiers remaining.
The Germans have won all their eight matches so far, scoring 35 goals and conceding just two.
"I am personally very happy if I can also score for the national team," Werner said on Monday. "It just makes it that much more fun."
Gomez, who missed the 2014 World Cup triumph through injury, has now conceded second spot to Werner as the Germans prepare to defend their title next year in Russia.
"I told the coach that if he needs me I will be there, I am satisfied in my role, especially if Timo fires us to World Cup victory," Gomez said.

Paltel launches carrier-class VoIP service
Nortel infrastructure will allow Palestinian operator to enter lucrative multimedia markets
Paltel, the national telecom operator of Palestine, has joined forces with Nortel to deploy a carrier-class VoIP service in the West Bank and Gaza.
While VoIP services have been available in the Palestinian Territories for some years, the new offering from Paltel will provide high-speed access and greater reliability, allowing the company to develop new revenue-generating multimedia services such as instant messaging and video conferencing.
The carrier-class service has been made possible through Paltel's agreement with telecom and network specialist Nortel, to supply technology that supports international VoIP and hosted SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) services. The agreement also includes network maintenance from Nortel's global services portfolio.
The solution includes two Nortel Communication Server 2000 softswitches, located in London and Ramalah, with six Points of Presence (PoPs) in the US and the Middle East, where PalTel international calls are handed over to other operators.
"This is a common practice for Paltel and is in harmony with our vision and objectives," said AbdulMalik Jaber, Paltel's CEO. "We always strive to reach world-class standards in terms of technology advancements and as part of our strategic plans, which in return helps us to diversify our product offerings and satisfy our customer needs."
Mohannad Heajawi, Paltel's general manager, said that the softswitches are particularly important, as they mark the company's first steps towards offering a "fully converged next-generation network" and allow it to offer improved international VoIP services.
"Next to the cost benefits, the Nortel Communication Server 2000 allows Paltel to introduce new SIP-based voice services such as IP Centrex and advanced multimedia services," Heajawi said.
Sorin Lupu, president, Eastern Europe Markets, Nortel, added: "By making the most of its high-capacity network infrastructure, PalTel is able to develop and deliver new revenue-generating multimedia services such as instant messaging, presence and video conferencing while maintaining quality of service."

Blood orange & chilli marmalade

Nutrition: per tbsp

- fat0g

- carbs8g
- sugars8g
- fibre0g
- protein0g
- salt0g
- 5 blood oranges
One of the best-known citrus fruits, oranges aren't necessarily orange - some varieties are…
- 8-10 red chillies
- 5 red peppers, deseeded and roughly chopped
- 900g jam sugar (the kind with added pectin)
Honey and syrups made from concentrated fruit juice were the earliest known sweeteners. Today,…
- 8g sachet pectin (we used Tate & Lyle)
- 500g white wine vinegar
Pare the oranges using a vegetable peeler, getting as little of the white pith on the strips of zest as possible – trim any off after with a knife. Finely slice the zest and put it in a preserving pan or a wide, deep pan. Peel what's left of the oranges, then roughly chop the flesh, removing and saving the pips as you go.
Halve and deseed all the chillies. If you like your chutney with a kick, reserve the seeds from 2 of the chillies for later. Put the chillies and peppers in a food processor with the orange flesh and pulse until everything is really finely chopped. Tip into the pan along with the sugar, pectin and vinegar.
Heat the pan gently until the sugar has fully dissolved. Meanwhile, put the blood orange pips into a tea infuser or tie into a muslin pouch that you can add to the pan too. Put a small saucer in the freezer. Bring the mixture to a vigorous boil and bubble for 40 mins, then turn off the heat.
Spoon a little of the marmalade onto the chilled saucer. If after a minute it wrinkles when pushed with your finger, it's ready. If it's not, boil for another 2 mins, then repeat the test and keep going until it is ready. Stir the reserved chilli seeds into the marmalade, if using, at this point. Let the mixture cool for 20 mins, remove the pips, then ladle into sterilised jars. Will keep in a cool, dry place for 6 months.
Recipe Tip
Sterilise your jarsOnce you've prepped your fruit and veg but are yet to start cooking the marmalade, heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 4 and wash your jars in hot soapy water. While they're still wet, stand them upside down on a baking tray and leave in the oven for 10 mins while you carry on with the recipe.

A new study that will appear in Thursday's journal Nature revealed that methane being released from bogs in what is now Great Britain likely contributed to global warming 55 million years ago.
Maybe more importantly, when you add up the methane being released from wetlands around the world, it could completely counteract all the carbon dioxide emissions reductions mandated by the Kyoto Protocol.
Of course, such findings are likely not going to be entered into the current climate change debate, for media will totally ignore this study as they do all reports that go counter to the global warming agenda.
Regardless, as reported by National Geographic Wednesday (emphasis added throughout):
Huge belches of methane from bogs in what is now Britain likely contributed to global warming some 55 million years ago, a new study says.
The emissions probably amplified an ancient and extreme global warming event that heated Arctic Ocean waters to a balmy 73 degrees Fahrenheit (23 degrees Celsius).
The finding adds weight to the idea that methane being released from wetlands today may accelerate modern global warming.
Initially, what the reader should take from this - and what people around the world should as well if media would actually report it - is that there are many theories concerning global warming. This of course goes counter to claims by Al Gore and others who choose to ascribe all blame for the recent increases in temperature to man.
Many scientists have tied methane to such climate changes. This study is therefore doubly important as it has connected a natural, nonanthropogenic release of gas to global warming many millennia ago well before man walked the planet.
If such could occur 55 million years ago before man was here, couldn't it be responsible for the recent temperature increases in the past century?
Moreover, which theory is correct? Who knows?
However, it does seem that almost on a weekly basis, some study is being published in a major science journal offering evidence that something much less nefarious than manmade carbon dioxide emissions is responsible for the recent planetary warming. In fact, there are a lot of other reasons scientists have hypothesized that don't include humans.
As such, doesn't it make sense for us to be 100 percent certain before we begin making radical changes to our lives and the economy that could end up doing absolutely nothing to impact temperatures around the world?
This makes even more sense given this study's findings:
Warm, wet weather likely accelerated the rotting of plant material, which in turn triggered the methane burps from the Cobham Lignite bog, the researchers said.Assuming that other wetlands responded in a similar way, such large amounts of methane could explain the extreme global warming seen at the time.
Because methane is a key greenhouse gas, some scientists worry that a similar scenario today could trigger a runaway greenhouse effect.
"Methane is a much more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, so a big and rapid release of methane from wetland deposits would represent a huge and rapid positive feedback," said Dave Reay, a climate scientist at Edinburgh University who was not affiliated with the research.
But here was the key point that soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore, and all his not so merry sycophants in the media, will do their darnedest to make sure never gets reported:
Warmer, wetter weather is likely to promote methane release in wetlands worldwide, and scientists are concerned that this may make it almost impossible to keep a lid on greenhouse gas emissions.
"The wetland methane feedback effect could be equivalent to wiping out all the emissions cuts set out in the [1997 greenhouse gas reduction treaty] Kyoto Protocol," Edinburgh's Reay said.
In other words, homo sapiens could conceivably eliminate all of their carbon dioxide emissions, and not have the slightest impact on the climate.
Now there's an inconvenient truth the global warming alarmists will fight tooth and nail to prevent ever seeing the light of day.

Incredible Bradley Braves logo from 1958, grabbed from a New York Times Article about universities that have moved away from using Native American logos. Interesting that Bradley retains the nickname "Braves" but has moved away from this logo. Sure, it's definitely dated and cutesy, but the name "Braves" seems much more offensive than this logo since it stereotypes Native Americans in a generic sense as warlike and hostile- the absolute last images that this logo conjures up.

text: Platelet Rich Plasma Hair Restoration is a non-surgical treatment that utilizes the body's own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to help restore hair in patients with pattern hair loss.* A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient. The blood is then spun down in a centrifuge and prepared by isolating the platelet-rich plasma component, which naturally contains a large amount of growth factors. The plasma is mixed with a small amount of calcium to activate the platelets and this solution is re-injected into the patient's scalp in areas that are experiencing hair loss or thinning. Anyone experiencing thinning hair of the scalp is potentially a candidate. At Unit we will schedule a complimentary consultation with our experts to determine the best course of treatment.

Greater investment in new energy sought
Abu Dhabi, January 14, 2013
Energy and finance sector leaders have highlighted the growing opportunities for sovereign wealth funds, development banks and pension funds to invest in the new energy industry, especially in developing economies.
Participating in a roundtable discussion at the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, they underlined the importance of encouraging greater private sector investment in renewable energy and low-carbon, climate friendly projects as a tactic to mitigate climate change and diversify the global energy mix.
The discussion was hosted by Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE special envoy for energy and climate change and CEO of Masdar, and Rt. Hon Gregory Barker MP, UK energy and climate change minister.
"This is an important agenda. Not just for the environment but for business," said Barker. "The opportunities for the global, low-carbon economy are huge and growing at an exponential rate. Clean energy and a range of resource efficient projects can expect growing interest in attracting investment as new financial participants crowd into this fast developing market.
"The meeting today helped to lay a foundation to better identify concrete areas of opportunity for investment in developing economies and ideas on how to scale up finance for climate solutions," added Barker. "This joint dialogue between the private and public sectors is absolutely vital and the UK and the UAE are working together to drive this agenda forward. I look forward to continuing this collaboration."
A number of ideas emerged, including contract structures for power pricing, possible dimensions for the Basel rules on finance, and ways in which finance is securitised. Participants agreed to take the discussion forward and establish a working group to explore the suggested proposals more deeply.
"Increased collaboration and institutional investment are critical in diversifying the global energy mix and addressing climate change," said Al Jaber. "The realities of climate change should be viewed as an economic opportunity. The UAE is investing in the future of energy by working with investment partners and governments, like the United Kingdom, to build sophisticated, large-scale renewable energy projects that showcase the economic returns, and environmental benefits, of addressing these pressing issues."
Uniting more than 30,000 participants from 150 countries, ADSW gathered leaders from academia, industry and government to tackle the business, technology and financial challenges required for sustainable development and renewable energy adoption.
Senior representatives from several financial institutions and energy investors participated in the roundtable, including the European Investment Bank, International Finance Corporation, Abu Dhabi Investment Council, BNY Mellon Corporate Trust, African Development Bank, Mubadala Development Company, Citi Corporate and Investment Banking, Bloomberg New Energy Finance, UK Green Investment Bank, Gulf Investment Corporation, World Bank and others. – TradeArabia News Service

So I've been farming my Maus a little to get it up to the top of my most played. I've been running into situations
where I'm facing a well protected enemy. Such as a hulldown IS-7 or a well angled Maus.
In certain battles I figured slinging HE at their mantlet could break guns and do a little damage.
Inspecting the after battle results I found that I'm hardly ever breaking guns with Maus HE.
I've also noticed during streams that having a heavy AP round bounced off your mantlet can
break your gun, and seems to occur much more often than when I shoot HE at mantlets.
My question for anyone with input:
In a situation where I can't maneuver against, or push into a well protected enemy, what is
the best round to use to break their gun? HE for a little damage and a possibly broken gun,
or AP rounds for no damage but possibly higher chance to break the gun?
