Summer is over. Winter is in the post. For sure my bones are feeling the cold more and more. Much of a muchness has gone on the past few months, so many great exhibitions, eatings and meetings of minds. With the credit crunch crunching, and the frost beginning to bite. Nothing to do but try and make ends meet, and keep warm. It isn't too easy being an artist these days, But hey, no one ever said it was gunna be easy.
No matter how bad things look, they always look better from the top of my fire escape, especially at sunset in the autumn.
A crazy thing, twice in 2 weeks I've found a dead crow at the top of my fire escape! Is that a crow or a black bird? I'm not too sure, but it's freaky. Kinda like some voodoo witchcraft. I recon the stupid birds just fly into the fire escape and drop dead, but maybe someone's putting a curse on me.
Lots of street art in London these days. Always something new cropping up. Love this piece by Conor Harrington.
The Tate made a special external show celebrating the finest street art from around the world. Great to see such a big gallery making the most of their big wall space.
Big walls, Big cleaning job.
Among all the amazing shows I've seen recently, Anthony Lister / WK Interact really stood out. These guys are rad, and they were both at the opening to sign their book published by the gallery. Check out elms and Lester paintings rooms to get a copy.
A few days after the show opened I saw this little piece in the east end, Mr.Lister getting busy.
Checked out the Blue bambinos at Shunt. Have you heard the Blue bambinos? They are awesome. Like the love child of Tom Waits and The white stripes. The lead singer plays a saw! Check them out.
London View from Parliament Hill. The last day of summer.
Scientology protest. "Honk if you think scientology=cult"
Battersea power station. I love this building. They should do something with this building.
JR put up a whole new work at Lazarides gallery. "Women" is an amazing show, but the stuff in the street outside is phenomenal.
Also checked out the interim at the Royal College and met up with my good friend Robin Footitt, his work is so good. But the piece I liked the most was this installation by Hannah Dougherty.
I also loved this painting by Alex Crocker.
So I was going through all my old photos, and found this picture of a swoon piece. I think the date is about 1999, and it was taken in Prague. Man that swoon girl gets about, and Id totally forgotten id taken it. Her work was as rad back then as it is today.
Finally, another photo from a stack of old photos. Taken when I first moved into my gallery space, about 2 years ago, this exact time of year. Something about the tail end of summer, blue skies seem bigger and more special.

My oh my, what a fantastic place to visit. Whatever your interest might be, this place has got it. From the Portobello Market to Westminster Abbey, to Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, London is a pocketful of surprises and enchanting fairy-tale land for tourists from all corners of the world.
There is a reason why people from all over the world have fallen in love with Paris. A treasure trove for historical, cultural, and artistic riches, Paris also prides itself as the leading powerhouse of world-class fashion and gourmet cuisine of the world. Prepare to be swept away by all Parisian clichés, from the Louvre to Eiffel Tower. There is a good reason why they have become clichés. As travelling to Paris might cut significantly on your spending, it is better to protect your trip with a reliable travel insurance package to avoid any cancellation or losses.
Together with Greece, it is acknowledged as the birthplace of Western culture. Not surprisingly, it is also home to the greatest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the world. Wandering the streets of Rome, be prepared to be swept away amongst endless selection of fine cuisine, high-end fashion districts, and the sweetly relaxed ambience that permeate the culture and lifestyle of Italians. Sit down by the road street café watching the world go by while sipping your warm espresso and licking cones of creamy gelato. Dolce far niente indeed.

As climbing arborists, we spend a lot of time up in trees. Exposure to wildlife, such as birds, is inevitable during our work. What many of us are unaware of is that pruning during certain seasons can actually be against the law if it disturbs protected nesting birds. Spring and summer are very active times for most wildlife. Many birds are nesting during this period and are vulnerable to disturbances from tree climbing and pruning. It is not always possible to do so, but it is best to prune in the fall and avoid pruning in the spring.
We volunteer as climbers for the Bird Rescue Center in Santa Rosa and the Hungry Owl Project to renest raptors. We have been trained to handle raptors and get to release them back into nests once they have been rehabilitated.
Provide these organizations with as much information as possible about the location of the found nestlings, including landmarks. In order to reunite the babies with their parents, the new nest must be placed as close as possible to the original location and as quickly as possible. Removing a nestling from its family is an absolute last resort and should only be done if the bird is in grave danger. Many nestlings will be on the ground during the fledging period and are still cared for by their parents. Wild animals require specialized care and diets that can only be provided by licensed wildlife rehabilitation facilities. It is a violation of federal law to keep wildlife - however well intentioned.

Over the years, Creative Biolabs has developed BacTEC™ and FoldEZ™ technologies to tackle hard-to-express and hard-to-dissolve proteins. With BacTEC™ technology, the expression level can be greatly improved for almost all of the proteins. In addition, over 98% of the inclusion bodies can be refolded and solubilized by our proprietary FoldEZ™ protein refolding technology.
Our OxiCyto™ competent E.coli strains are excellent options for expressing proteins having complex disulfide bonds.
The first choice for the expression of recombinant proteins is typically E. coli. Production of proteins in this bacterial strain is well-established, fast and simple and usually provides high yields. Recent progress in the fundamental understanding of transcription, translation, and protein folding in E. coli, improved genetic tools had made this bacterium more valuable than ever for the expression of complex eukaryotic proteins.
Creative Biolabs' newly-built facilities supporting a vast array of state-of-the-art equipment are leveraged by our experienced PhD-level scientists to deliver proteins that require glycosylation modifications to be expressed via microbial systems quickly and economically.
One of the most popular technologies is BacTEC™ system. Creative Biolabs' patented BacTEC™ system is capable of achieving soluble expression levels well over 20 g/L. While the technology has shown it can express many types of proteins, it has established a track record for producing high-quality, correctly folded antibody fragments (including Fabs and scFv).
Our FoldEZ™ protein refolding technology is designed to determine the optimal refolding conditions by evaluation a series of buffers. We provide refolded protein at purity of 95% or greater.
Exclusively from Creative Biolabs, OxiCyto™ competent E.coli strains are engineered to enable the folding of recombinantly expressed proteins in vivo. The expression of the isomerase, DsbC, within the OxiCyto cytoplasm enhances the correct formation of disulfide bonds in proteins that require them for biological activity.
Bacillus subtilis is a significant microorganism in the scientific research field. It has been developed as an attractive host for the production of recombinant proteins. Our Bacillus subtilis system is an ideal option for the expression of monomeric protein products at expression levels up to 20g/L. This high yield, combined with our patented fermentation protocols allows for fast process development and scale-up to support early clinical testing.

I have been thinking about the ephemeral physical daily movements we make and that are the core of my project and looking to find a way of transforming them in to digital information. I have brought a USB pedometer. Aim to use this to keep track of how many steps I take every day and convert that figure in to data, possibly each day’s number of steps equating to an R B G value.
Been wondering if our acceptance of the digital world in some way explained by the Cartesian philosophy of duality between body and mind?
Western society spends much time and money promoting the idea of the necessity of our controlling our physical bodies and making them less unpredictable and therefore less threatening to a stable society.
On line…. there is freedom from the reality of the human body and it bodily betrayals.
A question is that this distancing from our bodies promotes us to be even less accepting of our physicality and lack of control.
These photos are of my son’s bed and the skin he scratches off through out the night.
I was not brave enough to photograph his bedding at the worst phase of this current bout of infection.
I took these pictures in order to think about how the expectation of a bed can change from a symbol of rest and peace for the healthy to a pace of acute discomfort for many who are sick and to look at the ideas of childhood are being a time of protection provided by the ‘good parent’ and the concept of illness being a form of bodily betrayal and perceived as an enemy to society.
There fore these pictures maybe perceived as distasteful, or voyeuristic, or exploitative . Rather than, as I intended, a statement of my son’s painful skin condition and societies’ lack of acceptance due to expectations of what childhood should be and the criticism that this sort of chronic illness reflects some form of bodily betrayal that should be managed, controlled and hidden by a socially responsible parent.
My concern is that we socially in the west keep distancing ourselves from the unpredictable nature of our bodies and that this process is promoted and continued in cyber space.
There is a lack of acceptance of the body’s perceived ‘imperfections ’ in western society and an expectation that we can eradicate through management irradicate the unpredictability of our bodies.

Themed parties may seem silly when you’re planning them. But they’re actually a great way for grownups to let their hair down.
Like many of you, this weekend I will be going to a party as someone I’m not. Halloween, after all, is the time of year we can don an alter ego, look foolish and be excused.
Party aficionado Cheryl Najafi, author of the New York Times bestseller “You’re So Invited,” is all for it.
“Themes — including costume parties — are a great device to get people to loosen up at a party,” says Najafi.
She’s right. Although the thought of going to a costume party used to make my stomach fill with carbolic acid and my forehead sprout hives (What if I show up dressed as Daffy Duck and everyone else is in black tie?), the parties where hosts have me asked to take part in a theme were always better, and made me a better person.
So true. I have been thinking about my costume and this party for weeks.
But it’s also because life gets better when we don’t take ourselves — or our homes or our parties — too seriously.
Relax. Change it up. Break some rules. Those are Najafi’s mantras.
I had a blast each time.
This Saturday I will dress up as Mary Ann from the old TV show “Gilligan’s Island” (pigtails with little red bows, tied-up gingham shirt, blue jean capris). I’ll join a table of professionals dressed as the other castaways: Gilligan, the Skipper, the Professor Mr. and Mrs. Howell and Ginger.
Though some of these people I don’t yet know, we will already have something in common: We will be shipwrecked together on a desert island. We’ll look ridiculous, and will be laughing about it all.
Halloween kicks off a party season that runs through New Year’s. Many of us, including me, will entertain more in these two months than we do during the other 10 months of the year combined.
It’s like any other marathon: The more fun you make it, the easier it is.
To make this season’s festivities fun and unforgettable, Cheryl Najafi of Cherylstyle.com has these seven tips.
1. Do something unexpected. Najafi recently hosted a formal dinner party for her husband’s business associates, a serious crowd she wanted to lighten up. But a theme party wasn’t quite right. So on her formal dining table, she served the equivalent of a gourmet kids meal: mac and cheese bites, pizza, and ice cream sundaes.
2. Play with names. Put whimsical name cards at guests’ places. She once gave each guest a potato name: Tricia Tater Tot, Harry Hashbrown, Larry Lyonnais. If guests are filling out nametags, have them put their name and what breed of dog they would be. (Gunther, St. Bernard).

We all have jobs to do around the house. Cleaning. Tidying up. Changing lighbulbs. Oiling hinges. Maybe the car needs its oil topping up or the tyre pressures checking. You know, general maintenance.
There are also jobs to do around ourselves. Some of them overlap with the ones we do around the house. Keeping clean. Brushing and trimming. Making sure our collar is straight.
Others require more introspection. Checking our motives. Considering how our actions are being perceived. Taking time out to sit and breath. It’s still maintenance. But when do we have time to do that when the jobs are piling up at home?
The answer is implicit. “Maintenance” is from the same linguistic root as the French word “maintenant”. “Maintenant” means “now”.
Right now. This moment. And each and every other moment.

A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; From the produce of his lips he shall be filled.
What we say has as much, if not more merit than what we do. Without proper communication we will seldom, if ever accomplish anything of significance. Proverbs furthermore instructs: "A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, And a word spoken in due season, how good it is!" There is little more satisfying than speaking the right words at the right time. Knowing what to say and when to say it will satisfy not only your soul, but also the soul of the one to whom you are speaking. A fitting word, a kind word or an encouraging word will fill your heart as well as the hearts of others. Weigh your words and your words will be weighty. Count them and they will count. Learn to edify others and your words will satisfy you. Are your endeavors failing? It may be because of what you are saying.

text: Luca Crescenzi’s essay Melancolia occidentale (Western Melancholy) provides a new interpretation of Thomas Mann’s novel Der Zauberberg (The Magic Mountain). In 2010 Crescenzi edited a new Italian version of the novel, translated by Renata Colorni with a new title, La montagna magica (The Magic Mountain). Crescenzi’s essay considers Mann’s novel in the light of the ancient tradition of melancholy (an impulse towards death pervading the whole of western culture), whose hypostasis is found in WWI. The entire novel is thus interpreted as the dream of a German soldier during a battle. Crescenzi also identifies several recurring elements in The Magic Mountain which he believes Mann adopted from Albrecht Dürer’s famous engraving Melencolia I.

An updated, stylish kitchen is said to improve a homes value and its odds for quick resale. At the same time, its helpful if a listing is something of a blank slate. “Its critical that a prospective buyer see themselves in the space—or at least be able to see the possibility of that,” says John Nations, construction manager for New Pointe Communities, a custom residential developer in San Diego. But design trends change regularly, making whats considered fashionable today possibly passé tomorrow. Some of us can remember when backsplashes were routinely decorated with tiles depicting fruit-filled cornucopias, but few buyers can see themselves prepping dinners or entertaining within such a space today. Same goes for dark wood kitchens with beams dangling with rustic baskets: Once cozy and romantic, theyre now looked upon as outdated and claustrophobic.
Erin Powell, design director and principal at RoOomy, an online staging firm out of San Jose, Calif., concurs that a well-planned ceiling treatment can help a listing stand out. “It usually wont make or break a purchase, but it opens up the chance to make a buyer more interested,” she says. Here are five ways to showcase a ceiling. Use them sparingly—certainly not in every room—to avoid visual confusion. “Otherwise, the concept may lose its specialness,” Pickell says. This is the least expensive way to make a ceiling stand out and alter its look without major architectural change. New homes often feature the same white color on walls and ceilings, but broker Matt van Winkle with RE/MAX Northwest in Seattle recommends painting the ceiling slightly lighter than whats used on the walls to add depth. Generally, he advises steering clear of bold colors, except in childrens rooms.
Price the listing competitively. Be sure to compare apples to apples—if you look at comparable houses without garages, youll get a lower listing price and appraised value than those with garages. How much less depends on the importance of this feature in the area. In Roachs Sarasota neighborhood, most homes are built with garages since buyers want to protect their cars from the sun and oxidizing salt, have a place to store their beach gear, and protect their possessions from vandals if they head north for an extended period. Therefore, she says the absence of a garage can decrease the appraised value by as much as 20 percent. But those whove been priced out of certain neighborhoods may find the savings appealing.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – The newly formed Political Leadership of Kurdistan-Iraq, created to oversee post-referendum developments, is failing to find universal support among the Region’s political parties.
Politburo member of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) and spouse of the party’s leader Jalal Talabani, Hero Ibrahim Ahmed said she does not support the body, describing its creation as a “big mistake,” in a statement published Monday evening.
Saying that Kurdistan is “paying the price” for proceeding with the referendum in the face of widespread opposition, at home, regionally, and internationally, Ahmed decried the formation of the Political Leadership without consultation with the political parties.
The September 25 referendum, that saw 92.7 percent support independence from Iraq, has been rejected by Baghdad, Turkey, and Iran, as well as key Western allies like the US and France. In the wake of the vote, Iraq has conducted joint military drills with Turkey and Iran, barred international flights from landing in Kurdistan, and ordered the deployment of troops to disputed areas, among other measures.
The establishment of the Political Leadership was announced on Sunday. The body emerged out of the High Referendum Council, which had overseen the referendum process and was disbanded on Sunday. The multi-party Council was headed by Kurdistan Region President Masoud Barzani.
Earlier in the day, Gorran issued a statement calling for the abolition of the Political Leadership.
Let's admit it we're very weak internally. We need a strong democratic system similar to what Israel built 80 years ago. We can't built a country based on families or clan loyalties and leaders who stick to the chair forever.
Political parties and leadership. Get your act together. This is not the time to scatter the unity during the referendum. And don't start public attacks on each other's positions. Quiet discussions to resolve the issues of political council is the best way. Our enemy is at our borders. This is the main issue. Kurdistan's future is at stake.
I ' ve no partisan preferences , I just call all Kurds to unite on independence . The Kurdish state will save our lives and will preseve our honour and dignity.Those who do not fight for independence have no honour or dignity to lose. .
Poor woman, she is under influences of the cruel Islamic regime of the Ayatollahs, at this space age neither Iranians or Turks are going to attack the Kurdistan and destabilize their country for good. And if the Iranians take the bait & attack the Kurd's, they are going to receive mother of all the bombs as a gift. And as a civilized country you don't kidnap the American priest or western Journalist for a bargaining chips same as the Turkish lunatic Muslim dictator, which he is going to pay for all of his unjust, immoral & primitive deeds, god help the Kurd's.
She is just one of the members, but not the politburo itself to talk on behalf of the PUK party. What she sais has nothing to do with and far from the actual requirements of the real situation and the main goal, because she has no reasonable opinion at all. This is meaningless demagogic rhetoric, certainly with no explanation. Maybe she needs psychotherapy?

The staff is really friendly and always ready to help (principally Rocio, the person who help us with our moved, sooo nice). The units are modern and carefully attended. All the amenities and the pool are amazing. When we arrived we found everything really clean and in perfect condition. We really recommend this place to live. Thanks Rocio for all your help.

Want to design the remodeling of your old home yourself? Or to design the interior of your new house? Or always have been into interior design and want to learn more about colours, space and light for your next project?
Anna, a freelance interior designer based in Budapest, Hungary with over 15 years of experience working in Seville, Madrid and Budapest will teach you how to formulate your ideas, create an inspiring space, use basic designer tools and communicate your plans to developers or others.
The courses are intended for total beginners. Either for those who think of interior design as a hobby or also for those who are thinking of a professional career but would like to get a taste first.
At the end of the courses you will have a better understanding of the design process, and perceive space, colours and materials in a new light. Finally with enough dedication you will be able to manage a small interior design project on your own.
So far courses were held in Barcelona, Madrid, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Vienna, Budapest, Tel Aviv and New York and it all started in 2012.
I highly recommend taking her course whether you are clueless in internal design or an advance beginner - I had lots of fun!!
All courses are available as gift certificates! Email me at anna@annazeibig.com if unsure which course to take or give as a gift to your daughter, mom, aunt or significant other! And why not check out one of my teaser presentations?
each with a coffee break.
You will get the most out of my standard course. We will dive into each topic in detail, complete with lectures/presentations and exercises. You will develop your own project, participate in discussions and learn about 3D design.

I was going to tell you about chestnuts this week, but then I found chanterelles and while chestnuts will keep (especially as I've made them into chestnut flour), chanterelles won't. If you've been reading the Also harvesting sections of these posts, you'll know that I've been gathering quite a variety of mushrooms over the past few months. I've really got the mushroom-hunting bug!
One of the most prized mushrooms is the highly distinctive chanterelle. The yellow-orange funnels with the wrinkles (as opposed to gills) running a long way down the stem are easy to recognise even the first time you see them (though there is a false chanterelle, but luckily it isn't poisonous). Yesterday I went out to see if I could find any mushrooms to go in some pasties and struck lucky with a ring of chanterelles. They weren't at their best, a bit old, and half buried under wet leaves so quite a bit had gone slimy, but still chanterelles. These are substantial enough that even after cutting off the damaged parts, there's still a worthwhile amount left.
Oddly, the pasties had a stronger chanterelle flavour than the tarts - maybe I used too much onion. Never mind, both were delicious, and excellent ways of using free food.
Gosh you are brave Rachel, how do you know which mushrooms you are eating? Did you go on a course? They look delicious, but I have never had the guts to eat one that I have identified!
I didn't go on a course, but I have the River Cottage Handbook of Mushrooms (full set still stupidly cheap from The Book People though having bought them all, I find I only read the three written by John Wright). That's a good start and tells you about any look-alikes, and how to distinguish them. If I can find a mushroom in there, then I look online for more pictures to make sure it still looks like the one I've picked. Some are easier than others, so you can stick to the easy ones until you've had a bit of practice and learnt to look for all the details that you need to check.

The Nags Head Performance of the Round goes to Hugh Kermond, for his dominant 80 in fourth grade on day one followed by his patient 61 in 5th grade day two.
It was Jacks debut opening the batting in second grade against his junior club, and he combined with Will Hay for a 144 run opening stand before going on and posting his first hundred for the club since scoring 124 for fourth grade in 2014. Jack came close last year to scoring another hundred, however was caught on the long on boundary for 99 against Randwick Petersham.
Hugh Kermond's 80 on day 1 of round 5 in fourth grade was his highest NSW Premier Cricket score (Hugh has scored a 111 in Metropolitan cup in 2014) and followed this up with his highest 5th grade score of 61 on day two after being bracketed for returning state players.
Jack receives the Surjits Indian voucher for two people, whilst Hugh claims a $20 voucher at the Nags Head Hotel.
Kieran Elley, who took his career best second grade figures of 5/49 in securing the 196 run victory.

The Local Area Network (LAN) is built on physical and wireless connectivity platforms. The LAN is designed for high speed connection using HP switches with gigabit fiber connections.
The wireless connectivity is implemented using HP Procurve WAP420 and 530ww. The wireless connectivity is available on almost all buildings now including the public places like the InfoCenter, Zebu and the two auditoriums.
The current LAN is not segemented intoto a Corporate and Guest LAN yet, and work and study is going on dividing the network into two using IP Commander. That way guests will get an IP range which is totally different from the Corporate LAN.
The ICt team is leading a new cabling project for a VOIP ready network right now, the physical infrastructure is being setup to be used by the backbone cables. Measurment of cables needed is being finalised to move to the procurment phase of all things needed to finalise the project in the shortest time possible.

This is WOW News 247: Chelsea José Mourinho Banned, Sued, And About To Be Sacked?
Chelsea José Mourinho Banned, Sued, And About To Be Sacked?
In life, don't always expect things to be all-rosy for you because trial times are certain moments that must come in every man's life before he or joins his/her ancestors...and this time is Jose Mourinho's most difficult times in life.
So Chelsea fans, do you want the bad news, the awful news, or the terrible news first?
On Saturday, Mourinho’s Chelsea lost at Stamford Bridge to the maybe-sorta resurgent Liverpool, 3-1. It was Chelsea’s third loss in six games at home this season; in their previous 99 games at Stamford Bridge under Mourinho, they only lost once. The loss leaves them adrift in 15th place, 10 points off even a Champions League place.
I hear he could have gone on Sunday – but, like previous sackings, Chelsea are choosing their moment. They want an opportunity that minimises the damage caused to the club. That means balancing the risk that a Mourinho side increasingly riven with divisions continues to lose games, with a moment to give his replacement the longest possible run-up at a debut match.
Sense says, discounting a complete disaster against Dynamo Kiev on Wednesday, that the axe will fall after Stoke on Saturday evening.
If Mourinho is indeed fired after Stoke, he might not even be there to witness it. Today the Football Association handed Mourinho a one-game ban and £40,000 ($61,694) fine, after he was red carded for saying something to referee Jon Moss during halftime of a loss against West Ham two weekends ago. While Chelsea have a midweek match against Dynami Kiev, it is part of the Champions League competition, so his ban won’t be served until Stoke. Mourinho could still appeal the ban, and thus be on the bench for his reported beheading.
And just for good measure, yesterday BBC radio presenter Garry Richardsonreported that one Chelsea first-team player told him, “I’d rather lose than win for [Mourinho],” and according to The Secret Footballer, Cesc Fàbregas isleading a “mini-revolt” against Mourinho.

You're a qualified candidate, and the job market is tough. But there could still be plenty of reasons you're getting passed over for every position you apply or interview for. A recent Glassdoor post reported that only 17 percent of hiring managers say job seekers have the skills they're actually looking for to fill their open positions.
1. Lack of energy. If you're not clearly energetic and enthusiastic about the company or position, it will show in the interview. Having enthusiasm shows you're driven and have a desire to be active at all times, which is a quality that inherently makes you a good worker. No one wants to hire a passive candidate who complains or can't keep a good attitude, even when given the more mundane tasks. Remember, your energy level will show the second you walk in the door, so commit to being enthusiastic from the get-go.
2. Inability to use free time. Hiring managers don't want to see a candidate who has no additional interests or personality beyond what's required to get a job in their industry. You need to show you're a human being, not a robot. Hiring managers love to see candidates with hobbies, or even those who have taken on a second job—it shows you're able to make good use of your free time to expand your skills and interests, and this is a quality that's likely to spill over into your professional life.
3. Procrastination. Recruiters want to be sure they're hiring someone who's punctual, and they'll shy away from anyone who doesn't demonstrate a clear ability to see things through to completion. Provide examples of times when you've wrapped up a big project, like writing an article or completing a design portfolio. Show that you're someone who spends your time well, and hiring managers will pick up on this as an indication that you'd put the same dedication into their company.
4. Unpreparedness. If you show up at the interview without having a working knowledge of the company, what its mission is, what type of work it does, who its clients are, etc., do not think it won't show! Hiring managers will be able to tell from the get-go if you haven't done your homework and fully researched the company. Come armed with a few additional questions to ask at the end of the interview to show you're already engaged in the company's mission.
5. Job hopping. If you've had tons of different positions in the last two years, or tend to leave a company after less than six months, this could signal you're flaky, difficult to work with, or at the very least, unsure of what it is you really want to do. That doesn't mean you need to lie on your resume - simply be honest with the hiring manager about what exactly has caused you to switch companies so many times. Reassure them that although you may have taken a while to figure out exactly what type of position or company culture you're looking for; there are still multiple instances in which you've demonstrated you're dependable, then provide concrete examples.
6. Shaky online presence. Thirty-seven percent of hiring managers check candidates' social media sites these days, and the number is only growing. If you lack a solid online presence, this could show you don't pay attention to detail, aren't truly engaged in your industry, or at the very least, don't care about how others perceive you. Make sure you've got some sort of presence online, and that it's a positive one. Start a professional Twitter account or blog, and look into the specifics of how to brand yourself. The last thing you want is for your Google search results to stop your job search short.
There are tons of different qualities hiring managers may be looking for in their candidates, and these can vary heavily depending on the nature of the open position. But no hiring manager likes to see the qualities listed above. Eliminate these negative attributes before you dive into an application or interview, and it could mean the difference between remaining unemployed or finally landing that open position. Good luck!

This page is dedicated to refuting Ron Wyatt's assertion that the Moses split the Red Sea at Nuweiba, Egypt. In particular, we will address items at http://www.arkdiscovery.com/red_sea_crossing.htm and the idea that Mt. Sinai was in Saudi Arabia. The first set of satellite maps shows where I think the Israelites crossed the sea (Lake Bardawil, Egypt) and where Ron Wyatt thinks it occured (Nuweiba, Egypt).
The trip from slavery to the point where I think the sea was split is a relatively easy one. My beliefs about this trip are covered on my page about the Exodus Route. But as can be seen by the figure below, the trip to where Wyatt thinks the sea was split would indeed be quite long, especially when consideration is given to the number or very young and old people, plus the need to feed and water enormous flocks that the Israelites took with them. This distance, over 320 kilometers (200 miles) would need to have been crossed in just 6 days. The daily distance covered would thus be a little over 53 kilometers (over 33 miles).
How far can cattle be driven in a day? A search on-line revealed figures of 8 to 15 miles. One source stated that "The favorite speed was around 10 to 12 miles a day, although at different times, or under ideal conditions the herd might travel 18-24 miles per day. Generally a herd of steers moved faster." Obviously, desert would not equate to ideal conditions. Thus is appears ludicrous to suggest that the Israelites and their herds could reach Nuweiba in 6 days.
Figure 2 below: Roads from the area portrayed by Ron Wyatt as Succoth up to Nuweiba.
There is a ferry service (see Figure 3 below) that now runs from Nuweiba, Egypt to Aqaba, Jordan, but none to Saudi Arabia, which is 15 km east of Nuweiba.
Figure 3 below: Ferry and cargo ship at Nuweiba, Egypt. Hilton nearby.
Figure 4 below: leaving the coastal mountains just south of Nuweiba, and entering the Sinai desert.
Figure 4 shows the road from Nuweiba to the traditional Mount Sinai. When I first took this trip in 1979 the road was not yet paved (by the Israelis). The top photo in Figure 4 shows how it appeared on my last visit there in 1987. The boy shown is my older son. He was 10 years old at the time. Much of his life's story is to be found in my Baptism Annulled book.
Figure 5 below: Ron Wyatt's suggested approach path for the Egyptian army in pursuit of the Israelites.
Figure 5 shows the approach that Ron Wyatt thinks Egyptian forces had to take to attack the Israelites, who numbered over 600,000 men (about 3,000,000 people in all). Such a route would be easy for the Israelites to defend even without help from the Almighty because the approach to their rear had high mountain walls on both sides. It would be easy to attack the ~600 foot wide pass from above here. See Exodus 13:18 which states, “The Children of Israel were armed when they went up from Egypt.” These high walls for defense were not available in the Zuqba area.
Figure 6 shows that Wyatt thinks Baal Zephon (mentioned in Exodus 14:2, 14:9, and Numbers 33:7) was in Saudi Arabia. This is plainly ludicrous. The very name can be translated as Master of the North, or Master of the Code. My ELS Map 15 shows where I think it was located. The site that I indicate was indeed the Master of the Egyptian Sinai north when the Exodus occurred and sea level was lower than it is today. The ELS 15 indicates that this site is in the Torah Code with a correct course angle from Temple Mount. However, there is nothing uniquely north about the position indicated on Ron Wyatt's map, nor is there anything like an ELS map to back his chosen site.
Who the heck was Ron Wyatt?? What about his claim that the Ark of the Covenant is hidden under the site of Calvary?
To an Orthodox Jew, Ron Wyatt’s claim that the Ark was put under Calvary - site of the crucifixion of the Nazarene - is one that seems hard to swallow. His claim is that this was done as an offering of final blood atonement. While the Torah does place value on the blood offered during animal sacrifices, nowhere does it request human blood sacrifice. When Abraham was ready to offer Isaac’s blood, a ram was provided at the crucial time. The Torah (Leviticus 18:21) decries those who offer their own children to the false god Molech.
Here again, I will refer briefly to Randall Price’s book, In Search of Temple Treasures. He notes Wyatt’s claim to have photographed the Ark with a 35 mm camera, a Polaroid camera, and video (all of which produced pictures that were whited out) on January 6, 1982. Wyatt claims that he also saw the Ark himself through a colonoscope which was inserted through a hole drilled through the Ark’s case.
Price writes with a decidedly Christian viewpoint, however, he views the claims by Wyatt the way I do. Putting aside the issue of why God would want the Ark placed in an area that was a cemetery since the time of the First Temple (i.e., an area that would defile the Ark), the reality is that Wyatt’s life-long claims read like the script of the movie Forest Gump. Wyatt boasted that he has found (1) Noah's Ark, (2) the chariots of Pharaoh under the Red Sea, (3) the 12 altars built by Moses, and (4) Abraham's family tomb in Hebron, but not under the 2,000-year old site revered by Jews and Muslims alike. He made other amazing claims, but Price then goes on (Ibid, p. 155-156) to show that on his literature Wyatt listed degrees that he was never issued. Further, Price quotes Dr. Jim Fleming - founder and former director of the Jerusalem Center for Biblical Studies and an editorial advisor for Biblical Archeology Review - as stating that he observed Wyatt planting false evidence at archeological sites. Wyatt passed away in 1999. Whereas he did so without ever proving his claims about the Ark, we can probably safely put his claim in the same category as Tom Crotser’s claim to have seen the Ark on Mount Nebo in Jordan.

Have you ever wanted to savor a meal because you’ve never tasted anything so good? Well, if you’re new to literary fiction, or can never seem to “get into it,” this is how you should try approaching it.
Think of the book as a meal with intricate scents, flavours and textures that you can’t quite recognize unless you spend a little more time with it, and give it some undivided attention. Because, trust me, sitting down a little longer than usual, to enjoy your meal, can be liberating, especially if accompanied by a great glass of red.
Sensory information is, more often than not, a huge focus in literary works. Literary fiction, unfortunately, gets a bad wrap for all the description it uses. This makes me sad because I adore it. I never used to. Until I realized how much there is to appreciate.
I’m convinced that some people think literary fiction is boring because they have the wrong expectations. Most literary works are not heavy on plot. It exists, but it is not usually the main focus. Primarily, the focus is on character and theme. So you cannot expect to pick up a literary novel and become so caught up in the story that you can’t bear to put it down. But so what? Each reading experience should be different, and inspire you in different ways. They should trigger questions, stimulate learning curves and general intrigue for the new. So, before you dismiss the idea of picking up another literary novel, because you didn’t get the thrilling ride of the last suspense you read, try taking a different approach.
Try to focus on smaller elements rather than the book as a whole. Allow yourself to not finish the book “this week” because you’ve signed up to the Goodreads Book Challenge and need to reach your self-inflicted magic number. Give yourself that extra week to read a literary novel and you’ll discover the abundant beauty and importance of unique phrasing, character development, theme and symbolism, and how all these elements can effortlessly blend together to create a masterpiece; to create an atmosphere rarely found in the commercial works that can be gobbled up in one sitting. Focusing on these things is going to make your writing better. And you can learn to entwine, even if in the smallest of doses, a little more magic into your prose. And you never know, by not reading something for the storyline, you may actually start to enjoy a book that lacks the pace you’re used to. If you give your brain the opportunity to accept the difference, you give it room to enjoy the difference, too.
Isn’t this just so beautiful?
You can do this in your work. By reading a bit more literary fiction, you can discover small beauties like this one. You can then practice taking someone’s breath away in your own writing. Give your manuscript that extra touch of character, of magic, of prose so well crafted that others will wish they could write like you. Now … wouldn’t that be an amazing accomplishment? To write a page turner that makes a reader’s mouth water as well?
Tell me, do you read literary fiction? Why/Why not? If you’ve given up on literary fiction in the past, do you think you might like to give it another shot?

Most businesses these days fancy themselves as fluid organizations, blissfully devoid of hierarchical bureaucracy. But that’s usually a farce, and one need only look at the seas of cubicles and floors separating management from employees to see behind the facade.
To solve this old fashioned office layout problem, Swiss Life hired Camenzind Evolution. The architects produced one huge spiral, reminiscent of the flowing galleries of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim New York. Camenzind claims that the open-ended floorplan, in which work spaces, conference rooms, and lounges all melt together, “unlocks a host of intriguing possibilities for interaction and co-operation.” Sounds grand, doesn’t it?
All of the building’s spaces lie along a ramp that rises gently from the ground to the top-most floor; the entire building wraps around a single, light-filled atrium, thus bringing airy, natural light throughout. Meanwhile, the various rooms have been designed with flexible partitioning, so that in the future the occupants won’t be bound to a layout that seemed natural 10 years ago, but no longer makes sense. Will the new layout actually make Swiss Life a less hierarchical organization? The only way to find out may be through a series of high-level meetings.

With President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as one of the witnesses, labor groups, business leaders and representatives from government signed yesterday the Social Covenant for Full Employment to promote industrial peace and sustain the economic development of the country.
The covenant was signed during the 25th National Conference of Employers at the Westin Philippine Plaza Hotel where President Arroyo was the guest of honor.
Labor and Employment Secretary Patricia A. Sto. Tomas and Trade Industry Secretary Cesar A. V. Purisima signed in behalf of the government.
Representing the labor sector in the covenant were Avelino V. Valerio (KILUSAN-TUCP), Victorino F. Balais (PTGWO-TUCP), Dominador M. Tuvera (TUCP), Ramon M. Jabar (FFW), and Vladimir R. Tupaz (TUPAS).
The business sector was represented by Rene Soriano (ECOP), Sergio Ortiz Luis Jr. (Philippine Exporters Confederation, Inc.), Francis Chua (Chamber of Commerce Foundation of the Philippines), Meneleo Carlos Jr. (FPI), and Eduardo G. Ong (PCCI).
The other business sector representatives were Miguel Varela (Philippines, Inc.), Donald G. Dee (CONGEP), Feliciano Torres (Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing Association of the Philippines), Vishnu Hathiramani (Filipino-Indian Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines), Robin Sy (Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry), Manolito Madrasto (Philippine Constructors Association Inc.), and Grace Abella-Zata (PMAP).
In the covenant, the tripartite partners agreed to work closely to help create policies conducive to domestic and foreign investments and thus ensure the most beneficial uses of land, capital, technology and human resources.
Continuously build the economy by reducing the cost of doing business by eradicating red tape, intensifying anti-corruption campaigns, maintaining peace and order, improving revenue collection and guaranteeing greater transparency in the enforcement of government policies affecting business.
Support the development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) including rural industries and village enterprises and livelihood programs by providing access to credit, technology and training.
Support efforts at expanding access to productive resources such as capital, technology and entrepreneurial skills to informal sector workers, women, out-of-school youth and other marginalized sectors of society.
Share responsibility in promoting industrial peace and enhancing constructive and harmonious relations between workers and employers, consistent with democratic principles.
To maintain industrial peace, the parties agreed to observe mutual respect and consensus-building in all aspects of labor-management relations, comply with standards of International Labor Organization (ILO), respect tripartism premised on legitimate representation, respect organizational rights, collective bargaining agreements, and use maximum restraint in the use of strikes and lockouts and the promotion of alternative modes of settling labor-management disputes.
"The signing of the covenant further boosts investors confidence and sends a message of economic and political stability despite the incoming election in May. This partnership among the tripartite sectors affirms that our economy can sustain beyond the lashes of economic adjustments prevailing in the region," Sto. Tomas said.
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo yesterday praised labor and employer groups for forging a covenant to promote industrial peace and sustain the countrys economic development.

While studying in Egypt, Carolina Chica ’12 visited the pyramids at Giza and traveled to Jordan to see Petra (below left).
Senior Shereen Ali’s fall semester hasn’t been like past ones. Instead of watching the leaves change colors on TCNJ’s campus, Ali is in Cairo at The American University, taking courses in Arabic and history, thanks to the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship.
Many students like Ali have been awarded the opportunity to study abroad thanks to the Gilman scholarship, which is granted to US students who are receiving Federal Pell Grant funding at a two-year or four-year college or university. According to the Gilman Web site, the program encourages students to select non-traditional study-abroad destinations, especially those outside of Western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
For Angy Plata, a senior clinical psychology major who went to Costa Rica thanks to the Gilman scholarship, having the opportunity to study and explore another country was life changing.
All the students who are given the opportunity to study abroad through the Gilman scholarship have to take part in a follow-up project, which is a requirement set up through the program.
Stauff sees the follow-up project as a way to inspire others to take part in global opportunities.
Carolina Chica, a junior communications studies and women’s and gender studies double major who also studied in Cairo at The American University, looked to Stauff for guidance.
Those who have experienced another country through the scholarship come away with stories and ideas that shape who they are.

Most people hate the idea of speaking in public. Countless strangers staring in your direction, waiting for you to say something profound, or worse, to fail miserably so that they can laugh at your expense.
The truth is, no-one is waiting for you to fail up there. Instead, the audience is in a default state of empathy and wants you to do well — that’s why you tend to feel embarrassed when someone else makes a mistake on stage.
You might hate public speaking, but you’re likely already doing it more often than you think. If you ever need to run a meeting, teach something to a group of people, or tell a story to a bunch of kids riding in the back of your minivan – you have an audience.
But ask someone to volunteer to speak for 30 minutes straight in front of 50 people, and you’ll see few hands being raised. Most of it is fear of the seemingly unknown – humans are naturally risk averse, so it’s logical to avoid situations of potential failure. It’s precisely these moments however, where we can achieve the most personal growth.
Abraham Lincoln used to be terrified of speaking in front of large crowds. Warren Buffett didn’t even like to say his name in front of his classmates. But speaking to groups is a requirement of success, so how can this irrational fear be turned into a feeling of excitement and elation?
A lot of stress can come from trying to anticipate exactly what you’re supposed to say next, and worrying about what you may have missed.
Sure, our Presidents deliver speeches off of teleprompters, but what did orators do before those nifty devices existed?
Break up your presentation into blocks of points that you’d like to get across. Your brain is better at remember concepts, and you can always use visual cues to trigger them.
It’s easier to captivate an audience with a story because we’re all very familiar with that format.
Have a clear introduction, climax, and conclusion around the topic you’re discussing.
Whenever possible use short stories as examples throughout your presentation. Stories are simpler to remember (both for you and the listener) and can often have the biggest impact on the perceived quality of your talk.
This does not include slides with endless bullet points. A wall of text has no additive value in a presentation, and is likely to distract from what you’re saying.
Visual cues, however, like images and easily digestible graphs can help get your point across.
They can also act as a tool to reel your listeners back in if you do happen to lose them while describing something relatively complex.
Professional athletes look composed in front of thousands of fans because they practice every play to anticipate any scenario every single day.
Practice delivering your entire talk at least three times before you do it in front of an audience. By the time you get up on stage, your content will feel familiar and you will feel more at ease.
Billionaire Marc Benioff, founder of Salesforce.com, is known for delivering highly captivating presentations. Even at his level, he has been interviewed saying that he’ll practice a talk up to 30 times before doing it in public.
The feeling of speaking in front of an engaged audience can be intoxicating. There’s nothing more rewarding than hearing a fan say that your stories may have changed the direction of their life.
Next time you hear someone looking for presenters, do raise your hand – the worst that can happen is you’ll pick up a useful new skill along the way.

On Friday 28 June, a team of 6 Strong Men from BNP Paribas Real Estate are set to take on what has been (un)officially dubbed 'The Surrey Ironman'.
Whilst several variations of the Ironman see competitors surf, cycle, paddle and run their way to victory, this form of the competition will see 6 (mostly) willing and able young men drive, chip and putt their way to golfing immortality. The challenge - 4 rounds of golf in 1 day. To be more precise, that is 72 holes in 24 hours.
The astronomic phenomenon of night and day means that 72 holes must be completed in an estimated 16 hours and 36 minutes of natural light, thus maintaining rounds of just over 4 hours will be necessary (and exhausting). Expect to see some interesting scorecards. Tee off is at 5.00am. No buggies, trolleys or caddies will be permitted although a diet coke runner may be required to keep Jeffs in the game.
Whilst mere completion would be an accolade in itself, we are hoping to raise as much money as possible for the Peter Westropp Trust.
All donations would be gratefully received towards a great cause.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit issued an important decision today in Freedom From Religion Foundation v. Lew, concluding that the federal tax code provision that treats church-provided housing allowances to ministers as income tax-free must stand.
In doing so, the appeals court overturned a previous decision by a lower district court in favor of the atheist group, Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF). The district court had found that the exclusion is an unconstitutional benefit in favor of religious groups (click here for prior ECFA coverage of the case).
Before the Seventh Circuit could even analyze the constitutionality of the law, it first decided it had to dismiss the case on the procedural ground of standing. The court determined that FFRF and its leaders were not proper parties to challenge the law in federal court because they had not suffered any concrete, personal injury—a critical element to establish standing.
The plaintiffs here argue that they have standing because they were denied a benefit (a tax exemption for their employer-provided housing allowance) that is conditioned on religious affiliation. This argument fails, however, for a simple reason: the plaintiffs were never denied the parsonage exemption because they never asked for it. Without a request, there can be no denial. And absent any personal denial of a benefit, the plaintiffs’ claim amounts to nothing more than a generalized grievance about § 107(2)’s unconstitutionality, which does not support standing.
The Seventh Circuit’s full opinion is available for download here.

Friday 14th June 2019, 6pm. Doors Open 5pm.
Story is at the forefront for troubadour Áine Tyrrell whose rich song-writing practice draws deeply on her Irish roots. Her latest offering ‘Return to the Sea’ was written and recorded in her homeland but mastered and crowd funded with one boot in the red dirt of her adopted country of Australia. Fiercely independent Tyrrell is not one to bend to the demands of conventional production arrangements, and so with the help of Creative Arts Victoria, her long time musical producer Mark Stanley, and her international fan base, ‘Return To The Sea’ went rogue, recording in lounge rooms, front bars, old churches, and remote islands.
Return To The Sea has just been released with first song “In This House” gaining international attention as a finalist in the 2018 International Song-writing Competition and being used across schools in South Australia to reteach the history of colonisation. In This House along with 9 other tracks make an album that is a treasure trove of contemporary narratives and musical sojourns with a solid respect for tradition and a passion for adventure and travelling to new lands, both real, and musical. ‘Return to the Sea’ is a passionate journey as it draws from a number of styles and influences. Certainly, the traditional Irish folk is in her blood, but so too are elements of soul and rock ‘n’ roll, entwined within her lyrical testaments. ‘Return To The Sea’ is a call to arms, a siren’s wisdoms and warnings, and most importantly the soundtrack of a woman who walks her own beat.
Her unwavering passion for justice and integrity has led to her supporting current Women’s Rights and Indigenous Rights issues through performances, social media campaigning, song writing and public speaking engagements.
Smith & Jones are a duo from Bathurst, made up of keyboard player and vocalist Abby Smith, with guitarist and vocalist Sophie Jones. They have never been ones to follow the pack. Though classified as alt-country, their goal has never been to remain within the confines of any genre, preferring to let their sound and their songs take them where they will. Nowhere does this desire for individuality shine brighter then on their newly released second album ‘Something Worth Learning’ which is still full of the charm and joy audiences have come to expect from them This new work delicately balances themes of love and loss, friendship and isolation, emotional desire and freedom, fearlessly exploring the depths of their musical partnership with the listener by their side.
number one on the internet’s Australian Country Radio charts and received airplay around the country.
Though their roots will always remain in the foundations of country music, their originals have found an undefinable energy of their own. Part classic country ballads, part sweet jazz standards, and often with a tongue firmly planted in their cheek, their beauty is in their harmonic simplicity and lyrical power.

Today is the feast of Notre Dame de Lourdes and we are aware of not only her Immaculate Conception, but also the fact that Our Lady has worked many healings at Lourdes. It was between February 11 and July 16, 1858, that Mary appeared 18 times to Bernadette Soubirous in a cave near her hometown of Lourdes, France. Now this place has become one of pilgrimage and a place to bring the sick, the disabled, and those who have incurable diseases to the grotto’s spring. It has been and is the place for many cures there in the waters.
I had the immense blessing to travel to Lourdes in the summer of 2017. That experience has left in the grotto of my heart a profound joy and love for Our Lady. Here I would like to share this beautiful poem by Paul Claudel that encompasses all what I feel for this beautiful Lady and Mother of all. Totus Tuus, Maria!
“The first spiritual relationship with The Blessed Virgin is simply a glance: I come solely to gaze on you.
What sustains that glance is not an articulated prayer but the song of the heart, which is given voice by love for Mary.
Praise precedes petition—indeed the latter cannot do without the former.
I see the church open, and I must enter.
I do not come to pray.
I have nothing to offer and nothing to request.
I come solely to gaze on you, O Mother.
That I am your child and you are there.
Just to be with you, O Mary, in this place where you are.
because my heart is overflowing.
as it issued from God on the morn of its original splendor.
Who is the Truth in your arms, and the only hope and the sole fruit.
