Role play interviews to help gain confidence and offer guidance of how to deal with certain types of interview.
In the current climate, a degree is not always enough. In order for graduates to remain competitive in today’s labour market, they need to have additional employability skills to complement their academic achievements. Writing an effective CV, alongside an attention grabbing covering letter is the initial phase of the employability process. It is only when candidates endure the interview process that employers really begin making decisions. Bolton Careers team wants to offer the opportunity for their students/alumni to sharpen their employability skills.
The sessions were attended by over 25 delegates from all walks of life with varying experience. Having initially delivered the interview workshops, the careers team at Bolton compiled some excellent feedback. 2engage have now been booked to deliver the workshop for 2 consecutive years making it a valuable part of the employability summer school.

Sweden revives Junior Softball National Championship; Enköping claims title - Federación de Softball de Puerto Rico, Inc.
For the first time since 2003, Sweden hosted a Junior Girl’s Softball Championship, proving that the game of fastpitch softball is continuing its growth in Sweden.
When the 2016 Swedish Junior Championships were played on September 24-25 in Skövde, Sweden, five teams participated and played over two days on two diamonds. The tournament was played as a round robin tournament with a final game after the round robin.
“The focus of the tournament was not only to crown a Junior champion — but also to provide these girls with more playing opportunities and more games in order for them to continue the development as softball players”, says Kristian Pälviä who oversees the national softball competitions in Sweden.
All five league teams had a full junior girls squad for the tournament, which is a sign of the focus on youth and junior development that the SBSF Softball Commission have worked on over the past two years.
“Looking back three years, almost no teams had a full junior squad, and only a limited amount of youth players. It is a proud moment when you see how the teams, who usually compete with each other in the National Championship, inspire each other and have helped each other over the past two seasons when it comes to youth development and bringing more girls into the game”, says Kristian Pälviä.
In the end, the team from Enköping took home the tournament after a dramatic final game against Leksand. In the final the Enköping team took an early 10-run lead only to see it reduced inning by inning, and in the last inning Leksand had the game-tying run on third base with one out. But Enköping pitcher Ellinor Wennerberg shut down the Leksand team for the last two outs, thereby securing the win for the Enköping squad. Skövde Saints finished in third place, Karlslund in fourth place, and Söder in fifth place.

This chapter describes the classes and methods responsible for constructing and parsing DIMSE commands.
The DIMSE classes (DICOM Service) take care of transmitting and receiving DICOM commands through a DICOM association (a AssociationBase derived class).
The main DIMSE class is DimseService, through which all the DICOM commands and responses are sent and received.
Sends and receives DICOM commands and responses through a AssociationSCU or an AssociationSCP.
The DimseService supplies getNextCommandID() in order to obtain the ID for the commands sent through the DimseService object.
Returns the negotiated transfer syntax for a specific abstract syntax.
This method is multithread safe.
Retrieves an ID that can be used on the next command sent through this DimseService object.
Retrieves the next incoming DICOM command.
The command blocks until the command is available or until the association is closed, either by the connected peer or by other means (e.g because of the DIMSE timeout), in which case the exception StreamEOFError is thrown.
Other threads can wait for other commands or responses from the same DIMSE service. All the commands and responses are received by a secondary thread and distributed to all the listener waiting for a command or a response.
This method can be called by several threads at once: each thread will receive a DIMSE command and can reply to the command via sendCommandOrResponse().
The underlying AssociationBase object will take care of limiting the number of incoming command according to the maximum number of performed operation negotiated for the association.
Throws StreamEOFError if the association is closed while the method is waiting for an incoming command.
Sends a DICOM command or response through the association.
Wait for the response for the specified C-STORE command and returns it.
Wait for the response for the specified C-GET command and returns it.
Wait for the response for the specified C-FIND command and returns it.
Wait for the response for the specified C-MOVE command and returns it.
Wait for the response for the specified C-ECHO command and returns it.
Wait for the response for the specified N-EVENT-REPORT command and returns it.
Wait for the response for the specified N-GET command and returns it.
Wait for the response for the specified N-SET command and returns it.
Wait for the response for the specified N-ACTION command and returns it.
Wait for the response for the specified N-CREATE command and returns it.
Wait for the response for the specified N-DELETE command and returns it.
Sends and receives DICOM commands and responses through an ImebraAssociationSCU or an ImebraAssociationSCP.
ImebraDimseService supplies getNextCommandID (ImebraDimseService) in order to obtain the ID for the commands sent through the ImebraDimseService object.
The method blocks until the command is available or until the association is closed, either by the connected peer or by other means (e.g because of the DIMSE timeout), in which case the exception ImebraStreamEOFError is set in pError.
Set pError to StreamEOFError if the association is closed while the method is waiting for an incoming command or response.
All the DIMSE commands are identified by an unique ID, which can be retrieved via the DimseService class.
DIMSE responses are built from the DIMSE command and have the same ID of the command they are related to.
Base class for the DICOM commands and responses.
Returns the affected SOP instance UID.
Returns the affected SOP Class UID.
Returns the requested SOP instance UID.
Returns the requested SOP class UID.
Returns the ImebraDataSet containing the command data.
Returns the ImebraDataSet containing the payload data.
Returns the message abstract syntax.
Base class for the DICOM commands.
Downcast the DimseCommand to a CStoreCommand, unless the command cannot be casted in which case a std::bad_cast exception is thrown.
This method can be used with wrapper languages that don’t support downcast (e.g. Golang). Other languages can still use the downcast functionalities embedded into the language.
Downcast the DimseCommand to a CMoveCommand, unless the command cannot be casted in which case a std::bad_cast exception is thrown.
Downcast the DimseCommand to a CGetCommand, unless the command cannot be casted in which case a std::bad_cast exception is thrown.
Downcast the DimseCommand to a CFindCommand, unless the command cannot be casted in which case a std::bad_cast exception is thrown.
Downcast the DimseCommand to a CEchoCommand, unless the command cannot be casted in which case a std::bad_cast exception is thrown.
Downcast the DimseCommand to a CCancelCommand, unless the command cannot be casted in which case a std::bad_cast exception is thrown.
Downcast the DimseCommand to a NActionCommand, unless the command cannot be casted in which case a std::bad_cast exception is thrown.
Downcast the DimseCommand to a NEventReportCommand, unless the command cannot be casted in which case a std::bad_cast exception is thrown.
Downcast the DimseCommand to a NCreateCommand, unless the command cannot be casted in which case a std::bad_cast exception is thrown.
Downcast the DimseCommand to a NDeleteCommand, unless the command cannot be casted in which case a std::bad_cast exception is thrown.
Downcast the DimseCommand to a NSetCommand, unless the command cannot be casted in which case a std::bad_cast exception is thrown.
Downcast the DimseCommand to a NGetCommand, unless the command cannot be casted in which case a std::bad_cast exception is thrown.
Base class for the DICOM responses.
Returns the AET of the entity that triggered this C-STORE request either via a C-MOVE or a C-GET request.
the AET for the entity that triggered this C-STORE request via a C-MOVE or a C-GET request. Can be empty.
Returns the message ID of the C-MOVE or C-GET request that triggered this C-STORE request.
C-GET triggers a C-STORE command that is issued through the same association used for the C-GET, therefore the SCU must have negotiated the SCP role for the abstract syntax (see PresentationContexts and AssociationSCU).
C-GET triggers a C-STORE command that is issued through the same association used for the C-GET, therefore the SCU must have negotiated the SCP role for the abstract syntax (see ImebraPresentationContexts and ImebraAssociationSCU).
Returns the ID of the message to cancel.
Base class for all the partial responses (responses to C-GET, C-MOVE and C-FIND).
Returns the number of remaining C-STORE sub operations.
Returns the number of completed C-STORE sub operations.
Returns the number of failed C-STORE sub operations.
Returns the number of C-STORE sub operations completed with warnings.

What can you do when you *really need* credit help? Call, and get a professionally trained debt assistance counselor with a working strategy. You need someone who is experienced at dealing with creditors and knows the laws in Berkeley county, and in South Carolina. There’s no shame in this, and taking action now to do something about it will make you appear more responsible to your creditors. Here’s what happened to me, and how I resolved it.
There is no true “best” way in Jamestown SC to get relief from credit card debt, as it all depends on your individual situation. You can focus on getting each card payed-off separately, move your balances on to one card, request a lower interest rate, or even get a loan to pay off the card balances.
Are you a South Carolina resident who presently has more than $5,000 in credit card debt and can’t afford the minimum payments, or are struggling to make them? If that sums up your situation in Jamestown, and you aren’t already enrolled in a debt management program, your situation may not be as bad as you think. WE CAN HELP you with no up-front fees, and you can talk to someone right away that knows how to handle credit card debt collectors.
This method is pretty easy: You take a look at all of your credit card balances and the current rates each one is charging you. Whichever one has the highest interest rate (APR), that’s the one we want to focus on being paid off first (while still making minimum payments on your other cards, obviously). Once that card is entirely paid off, you carry on to the one that has the next greatest APR in 29453, and so on.
Do you like things to be easy and uncomplicated in Jamestown, South Carolina? This pay-down strategy might be for you. By consolidating your credit card financial obligations to a single credit card or a consolidation loan, you’ll be left only making one payment a month rather than four or five. You can even automate payments with paperless-pay to eliminate the possibility of paying late.
No matter which approach you take for settling your credit card debt in Jamestown, step one is getting organized. Gather up all of your credit card information for every single credit card you’re carrying a balance on. Make note of the total balance, rates of interest, due dates and minimum payment requirements for each credit card. How bad is it? Experian reports show that the typical customer has 2.35 credit card, and carry an average balance of $5,551 each.
Once you compile all that financial information, add up the minimum payments on each of your credit cards. Just how much cash must you come up with each month to remain current on your credit card expenses? (Keep in mind, paying your statements on time monthly, even if you’re only paying the minimum, is quite crucial. Payment history is the most significant influencer of your credit report, accounting for 35% of the scores in Jamestown, South Carolina 29453).
Plus, having a poor credit report generally means you’ll pay higher interest rates, whether on a charge card balance or bank loan. And, with high-interest rates, the amount of money you owe grows bigger at a much faster rate, making it more challenging to pay off at all. It’s genuinely a vicious cycle. Uncertain where your credit currently stands? You can discover exactly what your credit rating is on the web in Jamestown SC by checking credit score sites.

Libraries, like any other organization, should be, well, organized. When it comes to scheduling, calendar coordination, and productivity, Microsoft Outlook is a handy all-in-one solution if everyone involved is on the same network. For the sake of consistency, many libraries and librarians try to use a software suite like Microsoft Office because all of its applications are designed to work together. However, if productivity software takes too big of a bite out of your budget, there are dandy free options available like Google, which brings us Google Docs, Google Calendar, and Gmail. Doodle is a fun and free little tool that can help coordinate schedules.
Besides being organized as an organization, librarians need to be organized in their academic pursuits. This is important for their personal productivity, of course, but it is also important in our role as teachers to our patrons so we may pass on the knowledge to them. Here is a SlideShare presentation detailing four cloud based productivity tools: Dropbox for file sharing, Evernote for brainstorming, and Zotero and Diigo for information management. My personal pick Diigo because it’s the coolest and most powerful. However, as librarian looking to teach patron, I’d have to go with Zotero because it’s free and still cool. If a patron is only working with databases and research papers, I’d choose RefWorks for its full service functionality when research and composing research papers. Here are some thoughts on the ones that interest me and I am learning more about to help my patrons with academic inclinations.
Diigo is a cloud-based information management tool that lets you do everything you’ve always wanted to do with the internet. Check out this introductory video. Diigo allows you to add interactive sticky notes and highlight web pages. Everything is saved in the cloud and is accessible from any web browser on any device. When you highlight a page, the highlights stay on that page for you anytime you visit that website, no matter how you’re accessing it. It turns the entire internet into your personal textbook. You can add tags to the items you save for easy access later. You can capture and annotate clippings of screen shots. Also, not only can you save a snapshot of a webpage for offline access, but you can also mark them “read later” and access them from your mobile device with the Diigo Power Note for Android or Diigo offline reader for the iPhone. With this marvelous appe, you can download the pages when you have wifi and read them when you don’t. Now the bad news; Diigo costs money. Unlimited use of everything it offers is $5 a month or $40 a year. Worth it if you use it a lot or can be reimbursed for the expense.
Zotero seems pretty cool, like a cross between Refworks and Diigo, but it does not have anywhere near the versatility and power of either one. It is, however, absolutely free.
EndNote and Refworks are database and citation power tools that save and file your research citation information and help you write works cited pages, in-text citations or footnotes with a couple of clicks. EndNote has the advantage of offering offline archiving of your data if you’re willing to spend about $10 on the software. Both are subscription-based services, so you must be affiliated with a library or academic institution with a subscription. As mentioned earlier, Zotero offers close to the same functionality for no cost.

Vail Valley Partnership’s board of governors has identified transportation as a key strategic priority area. This includes a focus on I-70 as well as increasing available seats to the Eagle County Regional Airport through support of the EGE Air Alliance.
Interstate 70 is a critical transportation corridor connecting Colorado’s Front Range and the Western Slope. This interstate is the only major east-west highway to move tourists and residents, as well as goods and services. Severe congestion in the corridor infuriates travelers, harms local communities and small businesses, impacts our tourism economy, creates safety risks, wastes fuel and hampers intrastate and interstate commerce.
Increasing air service and visitors coming through Eagle County has a direct economic benefit on every community – and every business – in Eagle County. Survey data shows over $275 million dollars are spent by visitors coming through the airport – with guests visiting our communities staying longer and having a higher repeat visitation rate than those who arrive through Denver International Airport. Because so much of our local economy, job market and businesses depend on the dollars spent by tourists and second homeowners who come through the Eagle County Regional Airport, the EGE Air Alliance plays a real, significant role that directly impacts Eagle County’s residents and communities and Vail Valley Partnership is proud to continue to work to increase non-stop flight access from key destination markets.

When our 2.3 million girl bosses speak—we listen.
As the world’s largest girl-led organization, Girl Scouts of the USA reports to 2.3 million girl bosses—and we go where girls lead us!
And girls lead us to some amazing collaborations with a host of organizations, like Dove, whose Free Being Me campaign empowers girls to challenge beauty stereotypes, and Dell, who we partnered with to close the technology gap and inspire more girls to explore STEM-related fields.
Another relationship we’ve forged is with Mattel. As the experts on girls and girl leadership development, we know young girls cannot be what they cannot see, which is why this relationship emphasizes career exploration. At Girl Scouts, we encourage girls to be whatever they want to be—from CEO of the world’s largest company to CEO of their families.
Three Barbie dolls are sold in the U.S. every second, so the Girl Scout-inspired doll is an invaluable communication tool that will allow our organization to reach millions of girls—members and non-members alike—with the message that they can be anything and do everything. We know that girls love to play with dolls—particularly Barbie dolls. In fact, Girl Scout members—forever having fun—are 20 percent more likely to be avid doll owners than non-member girls, with a full 77 percent of girls playing with dolls at least weekly.
And research shows that the Girl Scout-inspired doll—one aspect of our collaboration with Mattel—is a win with both girls and moms.
Girls associate the doll with hiking and the outdoors, selling cookies, and helping others, all of which are fun experiences firmly rooted in the Girl Scout mission. For over 100 years, Girl Scout programming has inspired over 59 million girls to explore new opportunities in a fun way, which is exactly what the Girl Scout-inspired doll is designed to do.
In fact, 83 percent of moms believe the Girl Scout-inspired doll will encourage their daughters to explore new opportunities, and 77 percent of moms believe the doll will help their daughters feel good about themselves.
We are Girl Scouts. We report to 2.3 million girl bosses. And when our bosses speak, we listen.

Whether it’s your natural hair or hair extensions, tangling and matting can be a hassle. If you have extensions and are experiencing tangling, it is important to discuss with your stylist whether the tangling is normal or extreme. Tangling will occur, similar to your natural hair. However, excessive tangling could mean you have either purchased inferior / poor quality hair extensions or you are not following the proper care and maintenance required for hair extensions.
Hair extension tangling can occur for various reasons, including product buildup, frequent use of heat styling tools, and not using the recommended hair care products for your extensions. Here are a few tips that will prevent or minimise your hair extensions from tangling and becoming a knotted mess!
Use the recommended human hair or synthetic fiber products for your specific extensions. Always apply a heat protectant before using any heat syling tools. Any oils or moisturising products should be used from the mid-shaft down, as they can cause certain methods of extensions to slip. If you are experiencing product build-up, clarify the ends of your hair with a good quality clarifying shampoo. Be careful though, frequent clarifying the hair can cause the colour to fade faster.
Dry hair is a common culprit of tangling hair extensions. Commit to using a deep conditioner once a week or a daily leave-in conditioner. Make sure to only apply the conditioner to the ends to avoid greasy roots, which may cause your extensions to slip. Conditioning your hair will restore any moisture lost due to heat styling, swimming in chlorine, weather, etc.
Brushing your hair should be one of the most important steps in your hair extension care routine. Keep a wide tooth comb or loop pin brush handy to keep up with the recommended three times a day, and always brush gently from the tip to the root.
Wrapping your hair up turban-style or rubbing your hair together with a towel can cause a lot of friction and tangling. Instead, gently squeeze the water out of your hair using an old t-shirt.
Keep your hair tangle free by putting your hair in a loose braid or ponytail before bedtime. Make sure to use a scrunchie, rather than an elastic band, as the tension from a tight elastic band can cause hair breakage. Sleeping with a silk pillow, rather than cotton or other material can minimise the amount of friction caused by tossing and turning throughout the night.

The Switchbacks played Seattle Sounders 2 to a scoreless draw at Weidner Field to give them their first draw of the season.
Looking to bounce back from Wednesday's loss to Sacramento, the Switchbacks returned home to Weidner Field on a chilly night for their third game in eight days. The Switchbacks got the first opportunity of the match just three minutes in as Luke Vercollone flicked a ball onto Shane Malcolm who saw his shot blocked. The Switchbacks continued to have the upper hand for much of the first half outshooting Seattle 6 to nothing. Seattle had a few late opportunities but the two sides would head into the locker rooms scoreless.
Intensity started to pick up as the second half progress and became a little chippy. About a minute after the Switchbacks came up with a solid defensive effort, Saari was sent off after receiving his second yellow card of the match in the 59th minute. The Switchbacks man advantage wouldn't last long as Luke Vercollone was issued his second yellow card in the 63rd minute, putting the game at 10-a-side. Seattle would end up outshooting the Switchbacks in the second half 10 to 3, but their lone shot on target was saved by Pouaty in the 72nd minute. Niki Jackson and Marty Maybin would come on as second-half subs, but despite their best efforts, the Switchbacks would fail to score. However, Moise Pouaty would earn his second clean sheet of the season as the match finished scoreless.
"Once again, I thought we did enough to win," said Head Coach Steve Trittschuh. "It’s just about finding that aggressive player that wants to score a goal. We created a lot of chances again, defensively we were ok. We gave up too many chances. We need to find some players that want to find the net."
"I think there were definitely some positives to take from the game," said Man of the Match Jordan Schweitzer. "However, we had enough chances but on another day I think we could have gotten the win."
The Switchbacks will head back to California to face 2nd place Orange County before returning home to face Reno 1868 FC on May 5th at 6:00 PM for Cinco de Mayo. The first 500 fans in attendance will receive a plush seat cushions courtesy of Colorado Technical University. Tickets start at just $12 and are available here. Fans 21+ can get $1 beer the first 30 minutes when gates open at 5:00 PM.

Dräger Babyleo TN500 IncuWarmer Now Available in U.S.
Dräger is now making available in the United States its Babyleo TN500 IncuWarmer beds. These devices keep a careful control of the temperature inside the infant warmer/incubator and can be used in open and closed care, as well as during transitions. Florida Hospital in Orlando is now the first facility in the U.S. to begin using the new beds.
It has three different heating units, including a convective heater, a dual radiant warmer, and a heater inside the mattress. The three head delivery modes help to control the temperature and work together so when the baby is accessed and transferred, heat is quickly delivered for optimal care.
The built-in humidifier uses boiling water to provide steam and easy to clean surfaces help to reduce any chance of infection.
Unlike other monitoring devices, the Babyleo TN500 IncuWarmer features a separate “Family View” setting on the display that provides the status in an easy to understand format. In another unusual move, if Mom is not around, the bed offers the ability to play Mom’s voice or heartbeat inside the baby’s chamber.

Cochlear Implant Systems Market was valued at over USD 1.4 billion in 2016, growing at 8.5% CAGR and it is forecasted to witness significant growth from 2017 to 2024.
Cochlear implant systems market will witness remarkable growth due to rising incidences of hearing loss across the globe. As per WHO, hearing loss is the fourth highest cause of disability worldwide, with an estimated annual cost of over 750 billion dollars. Moreover, according to NIDCD, approximately 15% of American adults (37.5 million) aged 18 and over report some trouble in hearing. Such stupendous rise in hearing disabilities will impact the industry growth.
Technological advancements such as microchip technology and wireless technology that improves device performance especially in noisy environments, will propel the industry growth. In 2016, Cochlear launched Kanso Sound Processor with a combined dual-microphone technology with an Auditory Scene Classifier that automatically adjusts the sound processing to different listening environments, offering a more effortless experience to the user.
Lack of awareness associated with hearing loss, its impact and management among policymakers and the general public will hamper the industry growth. As a result, hearing care fails to gain resource allocation and attention that it deserves. This reflects at the level of the community, where poor awareness generates numerous stigmas and myths surrounding the condition, frequently resulting in people not seeking attention for this health issue.
Bilateral cochlear implants offer speech perception and localization benefits to many children with severe to profound hearing loss. These implants provide better hearing in challenging environments, improved ability to localize sound, greater ease of listening and enhanced sound quality as compared to the conventional devices. Rising preference of implants in both ears and aforementioned advantages will boost the segment growth over the forecast period.
Pediatric business segment will grow owing to increase in number of children suffering from hearing loss and implementation of new born hearing screening programs worldwide. As per WHO, around 466 million people across the globe have disabling hearing loss and 34 million of these are children. This increase in number will lead to escalated demand of newborn hearing screening programs across the globe boosting segment growth.
U.S. dominated the cochlear implant systems market in 2016. As per U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, in U.S. more than 41,000 adults and nearly 26,000 children have one cochlear implant. Universal screening programs have been implemented across U.S. for early screening of all newborns. Availability of proper healthcare infrastructure, highly skilled medical professionals and advent of technologically advanced devices will augment the regional growth.
Some key industry players are MED-EL, Cochlear Ltd., Gaes Group, William Demant Holding A/S, Sonova and Nurotron Biotechnology Company Ltd. The strategic initiatives adopted by these companies are new product launches, geographic expansion, acquisitions and collaborations. In May 2018, MED-EL received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, clearance for the non-surgical bone conduction hearing technology called ADHEAR. It is an excellent choice for people suffering from conductive hearing loss who would not like to go through, bone conduction implant surgery.

For week charter PLEASE DO NOT OVER PACK!
This is the most common mistake people do on their first sailing holidays. You will be just in your swimming suit most of the time and 5-6 outfits are more than enough for a one week trip.
It is highly recommended that you bring your stuff in SOFT BAGS (duffel type, backpack etc) that you can fold up and store on the yacht easier.
1.1 How much time should I spend on board in order to fully experience the Greek islands?
This all depends on your interests but especially on how much time you have available - the more days you have on board the more islands you will be able to explore.
As a general idea during a 7 day trip you would have the chance to visit up to 6 islands whereas during a 2 week trip we usually visit up to 13 islands and during a 3 week trip you can explore up to 20 of the amazing Greek islands.
However one week on board is a great idea for people with a short holiday and in Greece for only 7-10 days .
The itinerary is more flexible and there is a great variety of islands you can opt for according to you interest. During a one week trip you can only sail as far as Milos or Paros/Mykonos. During a 2 week trip you can add to the itinerary further away islands like : Santorini, Amorgos, Small Cyclades, Folegandros, Ios so you can experience different parts of Greece from small islands with only a few hundreds of inhabitants ( like Koufonissia) to larger ones, from world-known islands ( like Mykonos, Santorini) to remote/out-of-the way islands that are still pure and unspoiled where you can enjoy an authentic island. During a 3 week trip you can extend the trip and pay a visit to the Dodecanesse islands ( Kos Rhodes, ...).
Time in not pressing you thus if you particularly like a specific island you can decide to spend another day there, maybe even hire a car for one day and make a full tour of the island, visit its archaeological sites or explore its inland villages, walks its ancient paths, etc-in a few words truly discover the island. On the other hand, for one week trips the program is more tight- departure around 09.00a.m, sail for 4-6 hours, swim for a couple of hours and then get to the harbor for dinner and so that you still have the chance to explore a bit the lovely harbor-town. But unfortunately there is not enough time to actually experience all the beauties in the bigger islands like Naxos, Paros,etc since we arrive there in day 3 or 4 and we have to start making our way back to Athens.
During a 2 week cruise the average sailing time is shorter thus more time for swimming, exploring of just relaxing in a bay.
If your idea of sailing is calm seas and perfect clear skies, then a 2-3 week trip will give you more flexibility if weather doesn't help any of the days. Thus if the wind picks up too much any of the days, then together we can decide what works better for you: sail to the next destination or maybe just stay at the harbor so you can have a fun day exploring the inland by quad, car, moped etc .thus avoiding choppy seas.
But no worries - no matter if you decide for a 1, 2 or 3 week trip you will still have an amazing time exploring the Greek islands on board your floating hotel with the best sea-view balcony.
1.2 When should I make the booking?
Always try to book your charter as far in advance as possible, particularly if your dates are not flexible. May to September is our busiest time of year, and these months generally book up well in advance.
1.3 Why the one week charter is 7 days and 6 nights?
Because we try to offer our guests as much time as possible in the islands and avoid any loitering at the base in Athens! This way you will spend each of the 6 nights in the islands (as comparing to most of the regular 7 days/7 night charters which typically have the first and last night in Athens and only the remaining 5 nights at the islands).
We are ready to welcome you on board in the morning (12.00) and return the last day in the evening (with disembarkation at 19.00) so you have seven full days on board.
The embarkation is in the morning of the sail date and we set sail immediately (instead of embarking in the afternoon and setting sails the next morning). This way you have the chance to visit one extra island as all the 6 nights will be spend in the islands.
The disembarkation is done the last day in the evening. In the meantime, we have the rest of the evening (and even a night) to sort out maintenance and carry out eventual repairs in order to warrant our guests a hassle free vacation.
1.4 Is sailing for everyone?
Sailing is definitely the best way to enjoy the Greek islands (discover small secluded coves and out-of-the-way islands) and it's fun for everybody from young groups looking for bustling nightlife to families with children or couples wanting to experience real Greece and have a great time on the water as well as on shore.
The simple and casual nature of a sailboat is appropriate for anybody looking for a unique and flexible way of exploring the Greek islands, enjoying the sea and nature and letting the wind take you to great destinations. If you love nature, quietness, sea, sun, going on shore to explore pretty little villages, swimming and snorkeling in crystal clear coves and isolated bays, a nice breeze in your sails then spending 1-2 weeks on a sailboat is going to be the best vacation of your life.
However if you or any member of your party is more interested in luxury or prefer a bunch of people in the crew wearing white shirts and beige pants waiting to serve you a drink and pamper to all your needs than a luxury motor yacht will be a better option for your holidays instead.
A sailboat is all about having fun, explore, relax and being free and to some extent can be compared to "a big campervan on the water" thus you should not expect the services provided by the permanent crew found on fully crewed luxury motor yachts.
When planning a trip on board a sailboat, it is important that ALL PEOPLE ON BOARD HAVE A GOOD LEVEL OF MOBILITY in order to go in/out the gangplank, descend in the saloon and get in and out of a dinghy when necessary (it can happen sometime that due to weather or all the berths at the dock being take we need to be at a nearby bay and dinghy to shore). This is why we have prepared a movie with these 3-4 movements to see if each member of a group is comfortable with them.
1.5 Is there any charge for the skipper?
NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR THE SKIPPER. Unlike most companies (where to the charter rate you will have to add the costs of hiring a skipper -around 140 euro/day thus 980euro/week+ meals), we are looking forward to sail you around the Greek islands for FREE. Thus you get a skippered cruise at the price of a bareboat charter and save over 900 euro/week.
"How come?" -you might be wondering? Because we are a very small owner - operated company and we simply love spending time in the Greek islands (swimming, exploring and walking incredibly pretty villages), we are happy to volunteer and sail you from one islands to the next without having to pay the additional fees that usually comes when hiring a skipper.
The priority is always the customer and we are ready to sail whenever and wherever you want (within reason) so that you can visit your favorite islands. But when we are not busy sailing the boat, we enjoy the islands (hiking, exploring or just spending a fun night out) and the coves as well (swimming and snorkeling). This is actually the main reason why we are able to give you recommendation on best things to do on the islands, best spots for swimming, etc based on our experiences (field research is always better than a guide book). Along the years we have tried pretty much all that can be done at each place and are now able to give better tips on the best thing to do on each island according to the time you have available.
2.1 What should I bring with me?
beach towel - we provide bath towels, but you will need a beach towel as well to wipe out the salt after swimming.
shoes with soft sole (snickers, sandals) with non marking soles for use on-board exclusively. It is highly advisable to have a different pair of shoes that you use on board only - different than the ones you use on shore; if you wear the same shoes on board and on shore you will bring lots of sand and pebbles on board and later in the day when you'll want to be barefoot the feeling on your feet will not be very pleasant.
sunscreen - cream recommended ( as spray is impossible to apply even with a mild breeze).
USB cables and 12V adapter - car charger - for charging your electronic device (like the ones in the picture). . The Albatros has three 12V socket-plugs. How do I know if it will work on the boat? You should try and charge you tablets, etc with your USB charger in your car before leaving home - if it works in your car, it will work on the boat as well. Note: invertors are not allowed as they dry out the batteries.
windproof / waterproof jacket - recommended for all seasons.
driving license (in a couple of island you will probably want to hire a car/moped so you can explore the pretty inland as well). We advice to get an international license before leaving the country.
2.2 How do we provision? Is there enough storage space on the boat? What should we get?
For the initial provisions there is a Sklavenitis supermarket 5-10 minutes walk from our berth at the marina (right next to Poseidon hotel) where you can stock up with food/drinks you will need for the first days. At the islands you will find minimarkets 100-200 meters away from the boat where you can get whatever else you might need the next days. Please remember to bring bottled water as well!
On board you will find a fridge (box-shaped). The fridge's dimensions are 35cm (wide) X 63 cm (length) X 48cm (deep). So you can get the food/drinks/bottled water that you need the first 1- 2-3 days. It is recommended that you always have with you provisions for an unplanned on board dinner (like spaghetti, sausages etc) just in case the circumstances (weather or the harbor being to crowded so there in no available berth) will force us to do a night at a bay instead of being moored at the dock.
The galleys are fully equipped with dishes, flatware, pots and pans, French press for coffee and kitchen utensils. However you will need to supply all your consumables, including paper towels, coffee, trash bags and condiments. Please remember if you use galley equipment, it must be washed and put away. Stove and barbecue must be wiped clean.
3.1 What island should we visit? What is the best Greek island?
Our base is located in Athens, with fast access to Cyclades islands and / or Saronic islands as well as to the pitoresque Peloponnese coast.
We recommend you don't go to the hassle of trying to decide on a specific itinerary or set your mind on a specific island- many time on board people discover new attractions of the islands they never expected and realize that other places than their initial plan are much closer to their dream holiday… so keeping flexible it your guarantee that you will have the best holidays of your life.
Also sailing conditions vary greatly from area to area making some itineraries appropriate for all people while others are just fort the very adventurous; some itineraries are great for people wanting more time on shore or at the bays swimming and swimming while others just for people willing to spend a long time at sea sailing and enjoying the breeze… keep flexible and let the islands surprise you!!!
Many times we are asked which is the BEST Greek island. The answer is "all of them are simply amazing- it just depends on your interests – and even so there are dozens of islands that fall in your criterias". Some places are great for swimming, others for nightlife, other for architecture and other for hiking. But actually most of them usually offer a perfect combination of all the above. No matter which itinerary you’ll follow, we can guarantee you’ll fall in love with Greece and while on board you will already start to plan your next sailing vacation so you explore more places.
Just let us know your interests and at embarkation we'll advice you on the perfect route and the best islands. We consider that this is YOUR sailing trip and we will make sure you will get the best of it.
This is why before setting the sails we discuss your individual requirements and ideas so we take a route as close as possible to your dream (weather permitting and within reality of a sailboat for the number of days you have on board).
3.2 How does a typical day on board looks like?
Breakfast (on board or on shore - according to your preferences and the prediscussed departure hour). After that we set sail for our next island.
The sailing time depends on the chosen itinerary and is usually from 3 to 6 hours. On our way make a stop at a nice bay for swimming, snorkeling, swimming to the beach and probably also have a light meal. Continue the journey to our destination - the lovely harbor town for overnight. We usually arrive at theharbor around 3-4 (but this can vary from island to island) so you have time to explore the islands and enjoy its beauties.
We can help you with ideas on how to plan your time on shore and suggest you the main attractions and things not to be missed in each island.
Dinner is usually taken on shore as sampling local cuisine at a water front restaurant is part of experiencing the Greek islands. For those who would like to continue with a fun night out we have good news: at each island you can find bars and clubs open till late at night or even early in the morning.
set sails to a new destination and stop in different coves in order to relax, spend a few hours sunbathing, swimming and snorkeling the clear blue waters and sail the Cyclades or the Saronic islands.
after docking at the harbor, explore the picturesque villages in the islands, get lost in a maze of narrow cobbled paths, enjoy the unique scenery and scenic landscape. Admire the traditional architecture with whitewashed houses, colorful windows and flat roof in the Cyclades or let yourself amazed by the Neoclassical and Venetian elegance in the Saronic islands and Peloponesse coast with buildings covered in bougainvillea, lively coffee shops and traditions restaurant, old churches, small shops and so on.
nightlife: enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere and the vivid nightlife, have late dinners at traditional family owned restaurants by the seaside with the best possible view, sip a delicious cocktail at on the dozens of bars in the harbor and why not?...party till dawn at one of the clubs in the islands.
discover the Greek history and archaeology by visiting the hundreds of ancient sites that Greece has to offer: Sounio, ancient theatre of Epidaurus, Nafplio castle, the rock of Monemvasia, the archeological island of Delos, the ruins of Mycenae etc. More details at sightseeing and archaeology page.
sail & hike - walk and explore the old mule tracks, admire Byzantine churches ancient settlements, discover the unique fauna <and flora (the Cyclades islands have 1400 species from which 83 are endemic) and fauna, the breathtaking landscapes, hike and conquer the peaks of the mountains for an unforgettable view of the Aegean Sea. On board you will find hiking maps .
3.3 Where are we going to eat?
On shore: Each harbor has a large number of restaurants, traditional taverns and bars just within a few meters from the boat which are open for dinner and breakfast, all priced very reasonably. Enjoying local cuisine and island's delicacies at a waterfront tavern while admiring an astonishing scenery is something you'll want to experience over and over again.
On board: Albatross sailboat is equipped with a cooker ( with oven and 3 burners), barbeque on gas, fridge and ice box so meals can also be cooked on board if you prefer. Each island has markets within 50 meters where you can stock up the boat with your favorite food/drinks.
3.4 Is fuel included? What are the boat's expenses in a week?
The fuel is not included (imagine hiring a car: the fuel is paid separately), nor the marina fees (like the car as well, you have to pay for parking).
However, we understand that this is your holiday and the last thing you want is worry about how much the extra expenses of the boat will sum at the end of the trip.
Thus we have set a flat rate of only 45 euro/day/boat (315 euro/week/boat) so our guests have a careless vacation without having to worry about unknown extra expenses. This is paid in cash at embarkation and will cover the expenses for fuel, water for filling up the tanks and marina fees.
3.5 Is there electricity on-board? Can we charge our phones, laptops etc?
Yes, you will be able to charge your phone while on board. However power on boats is 12 volt DC power- just like your car or campervan. Thus all you need to bring is a car charger (12 volt charger) and your USB cable -please see picture below- for your electronic devices and you will be able to charge them at any time (the same way you would charge them in your car).
For our guests needing 220Volt AC power (for big consumers like hairdryers, laptops, etc)- we have good news. Most of the islands (not all) offer the possibility to connect the boat to their power supply while we are at the dock (just like a campervan can plug in while in the camping). The harbor master charges a small fee for this service – which is usually around 8 euro per night per boat (varying from place to place). This way, you can use the normal 220Volt plug on the boat just like you do at your home-please see picture below.
We connect shore power if you ask for it IF and WHEN available.
VERY IMPORTANT: If any members in your party travel with medical devices that have to be plugged in to work ( CPAP machines, etc ), you should purchase a car plug/car adapter before booking. 220 volt electricity will ONLY be available some of the nights (usually during a week shore power is available 3-4 times/ week).
Note: invertors are NOT ALOWED on the boat as they dry out the batteries of the boat with the result of not having enough power for shower, toilets, lights, fridge, etc.
3.6 Will we have internet service in the islands?
Sure! In all the islands, almost each tavern or coffee shop offers free Wifi for their customers so while enjoying your meal or cocktail you can keep in touch with friends and family and share this wonderful moments with them. Some of the islands offer free internet service in the harbors as well.
Thus, it is recommended to use the internet for browsing the internet, checking mail, chatting and AVOID heavy traffic like downloading, video-chat, online radio or watching movies.
It is highly recommended to deactivate your automatic updates and disable iCloud synchronization in order to avoid your phone to reach the data limit while updating any of your application or backing up your pictures.
3.7 What are the crew's duties?
The crew (skipper & co-skipper) is responsible for navigating and mooring the boat, ensure the safety of the boat and taking care of all the aspects related to sailing/anchoring.
Management of the vessel in all respects.
Upon your request the crew can make recommendations on routes, interesting places to visit and suggestions.
The crew (skipper and co-skipper) will navigate and sail the sailboat from one island to the next and also ensure the safety of the boat for all the duration of your sailing cruise. They will take care of all aspects related to sailing/anchoring and also take you ashore with the dinghy if the situation requires it ( when there is no berth available at the dock or due to weather condition thus the boat will be at anchor in a bay for overnight). They are also the technicians who will fix the problems that might arise (if possible) and finally your guides for life ashore if you are asking for a recommendation.
The working hours for the crew are maximum nine (08.30a.m-05.30p.m) out at sea, but after that they are in charge of the boat's safety, something that might keep them awake for the whole night, if the circumstances require it.
The priority is always the customer and the crew happy to sail whenever and wherever you want (within reason) so that you can visit your favorite islands. But when they are not busy sailing the boat, they enjoy the islands (hiking, exploring or just spending a fun night out) and the coves as well (swimming and snorkeling). This is actually the main reason why they are able to give you recommendation on best things to do on the islands, best spots for swimming, etc based on experiences (field research is always better than a guide book).
Although life as a crew seems very fun it does however have a lot of responsibilities and can be very demanding in strong winds (both for sailing and keeping the boat safe for overnight). This is just one of the reasons why the skipper has the final say (especially when wind picks up) as a safe harbor for the overnight is mandatory for safety reasons as well as so you can have a fun and relaxing evening, followed by a smooth sleep.
Also, please remember that your crew are working every day of the season (5-8 month a year, without any break), sometimes need to do long days at sea, standing up for as much as 7 hours in a row, so please be respectful with your crew and do not underestimate they efforts to offer you a great holiday.
3.8 Are nights spend at the dock or at a bay?
Most of the nights will be spend at a dock so you can have the easiest possible access on shore and enjoy a total flexibility – you will have the key of the boat and get in/off the boat whenever you want and as many times as you desire.
However according to the time of the year and the winds speed and direction there are exception when we will have to spend the night at anchor in a bay ( and in most of the cases you can get to shore by dinghy). This usually happens if in high season if we arrive at the harbor after all the berth are taken (with good planning however this situation can be avoided most of the times).
However it can also happens when weather conditions require it (the holding is not good at the pier in strong winds). A very good example is Serifos island where most of the times we are moored in the bay although there is still space at the dock. But no worries - the skipper will get yo to shore by dinghy / tender after a short ride.
3.9 Are suitcase allowed on a boat? Where can we drop the excess luggage?
It is highly recommended that you bring your belongings in soft-sided luggage (duffel type bags, backpacks etc) so that you can place your things in the little drawer/cupboard in your cabin then fold up and store the soft luggage away. The storage is limited on a sailboat and storage of soft luggage is a lot easier.
If your group is small (2-4 persons ) there will probably be a bit of extra storage space (the unused berths in the cabins) for suitcases - as long as they are reasonably sized and can fit through a sailboat’s door -40 centimeters-15.7 inch. Thus for small groups it is ok to bring along reasonably-sized suitcases provided that you will secure them each time before going out at sea so they won't fall and create any damage. No metal or reinforced plastic suitcases on board!
However if you group if 6-8 persons, all the cabins will be taken with no extra storage - thus is it recommended to leave all suitcases and extra luggage behind and bring along only what you need from the trip in soft luggage. There is NOT enough space in a cabin for 2 persons and 1 suitcase.
Please note there are no lockers at the marina so once you arrive at the boat, you won't be able to store extra stuff if you decide you want to leave part of the luggage or the suitcases behind.
Most of our guests leave the suitcases with things they don't need for the sailing trip at the hotel they are spending the night before and pick them up upon return. Alternatively in the center of Athens you will find several companies offering lockers for storage - similar to Athens lockers.

When it comes to women, boots and shoes for the winter are not only a requirement, but they must be fashionable as well. For many however, the choices of color are too much and a boot in every color must be purchased.
Color choices are vast for women, boots come in so many styles and colors there are too many to choose from in some cases. Your favorite boot comes in 5 colors, and you know you will only wear 2 of those colors. Yet you bought all 5 colors. Again. Here is a color scheme to follow when buying your winter boots.
For women with long legs, it is best to go with brighter colors such as white, yellow, baby blue, lime green and even orange and red. These colors take away length from the leg, but add to any outfit to bring out subtle color schemes in the outfit. If you are wearing a green sweater that has gold flakes and blue jeans, you can add a pair of lime green or yellow boots to the outfit to create a shorter appearance and bring attention to the outfit and not your height. For women who are shorter, darker colors will help to create a more uniform appearance. If you are wearing a black sweater with a grey skirt, pairing black women boots with the outfit will create a more uniform look. If the skirt is short, adding knee high winter boots will add warmth and style to the outfit. However, if you are short and are wearing a long skirt, you should use ankle boots to add up to 3 inches of height and help elongate the leg.

” Nature and Art have always been a constant thread throughout my life. As early as I can remember I was interested in the mystique of nature and the beauty of art. Nature gives to the world unconditionally and we in turn must except that we are a living breathing part of nature and not its master. I have a love for the wonders of nature and art in combination and want to show the world the connection between the two. From as early as I remember I wanted to be a nature artist, share nature with the world while conserving its beauty. Conservation became a important part of my values and beliefs and is a large part of the man I am today”.
“The creative process has always been a driving force in me. I thrive on the knowledge of how things work and the challenge of recreating them. My creative side began with plastic model kits. I would build them in perfect detail. As I grew older I began to building models from scratch, a hobby I still love to do. Model building was the foundation for my patience and discipline, two assets that have helped in my development as an artist. At the age of nine I began to draw out and plan the projects and models I wanted to create and then build them. I was a Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica junky the obsession of most boys in the 70’s and 80’s and my greatest memory was of building a “Cylon” costume from scratch out of box’s from the local grocery store for halloween. How I loved to create. At age ten life took a drastic turn and I found myself in the care of the Children’s Aid Society and foster homes. Over the next six years I was moved to thirteen different foster and receiving homes. Moving around so much made it very difficult to build friendships and art became my constant companion. I devoted allot more time to art than the average adolescent. Art became my world. Sketch book in hand I would disappear into the parks and forests to catch a glimpse of nature and wildlife.
A whole new world opened up to me when I began high school in 1982. Aside from the academic courses I was required to take I could choose courses of interest to me. Every extra credit course I took was art based. People started to see the artist in me and my teachers were very encouraging. Unfortunately with no other support system in place and a rebellious teenager trying to find his way in a world of foster care, I foolishly dropped out of school and at 16 moved out on my own. I abandoned my art over the next three years barely touching a sketch book or paint brush. I applied for several illustration positions, only to be told lack of education and a weak portfolio were holding me back. At nineteen I decided I needed to go back to school, further my abilities and build a strong portfolio if I wanted to succeed. Returning to high school at nineteen was the toughest decision I had to make but I persevered and graduated. I then applied and was accepted into the Technical and Scientific Illustration program at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario. College opened up new horizons for me and allowed me the freedom to explore other forms of art. I discovered painting with gouache, airbrushing, dry-brushing and many other techniques. Watching how others painted gave me ideas on how I should approach my own painting style. In my three years of college I painted very little wildlife, but it always remained my favorite subject matter. Architectural rendering and conceptual drawing began to play a strong influence in my artistic development. Through architecture I was rewarded for being detailed and accurate, a characteristic that has been present in all my creative endeavors. In 1993 I graduated from Sheridan with a diploma in Technical & Scientific Illustration and won the Artistic Excellence Award in my graduation year..
“As a young artist in high school and college I was very inspired by Robert Batemans work. As the years have passed I realized I was more inspired by his fame then his work. Since early in high school all my teachers said “You have to learn to paint like Bateman to be successful in wildlife art.” His work is beautiful but I am the total opposite of Bateman. I paint strong dominate lighting with solid crisp lines, where as Bateman is muted and subtle. I spent so many years trying to be another artist, never exploring my own style and techniques. I thought that emulating Bateman’s style was the only way to legitimize my art and the only way to be a successful nature artist.

Shareholders request that Emerson Electric issue a sustainability report describing the company’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance and goals, including greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals. The report should be available on the company website by September 1, 2015, prepared at reasonable cost, omitting proprietary information.
We believe tracking and reporting ESG practices makes a company more responsive to a global business environment characterized by finite natural resources, changing legislation, and heightened public expectations for corporate accountability. Reporting also helps companies better integrate and gain strategic value from existing sustainability efforts, identify gaps and opportunities, develop company-wide communications, recruit and retain employees, and receive feedback.
•In 2013, KPMG found that of 4,100 global companies seventy-one percent had ESG reports.
•The United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment has more than 1,200 signatories with over $45 trillion of assets under management. These members seek ESG information from companies to be able to analyze fully the risks and opportunities associated with existing and potential investments.
•Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), representing 767 institutional investors globally with approximately $92 trillion in assets, calls for company disclosure on Greenhouse Gas emissions and climate change management programs. Over two thirds of the S&P 500 now report to CDP.
Additionally, in 2014 the European Parliament adopted a directive requiring companies listed on any of the EU stock exchanges with over 500 employees to annually report “on [their] policies, risks and outcomes” on seven environmental and social topics. Emerson is affected by this regulation by being listed on the Frankfurt stock exchange.
While Emerson Electric responded privately to CDP in 2014 and has a corporate citizenship website that includes some short descriptions of programs and guiding principles, the company notably does not provide many evaluative metrics or publicly set goals by which to measure their performance “outcomes.” To contrast, General Electric, a main competitor, reports more than 10 ESG goals (several of which are quantitative and time bound) and publishes multiyear data on the company’s progress.
Data on occupational safety and health, vendor and labor standards, waste and water reduction targets and product-related environmental impacts are important business considerations. Not managing these properly could pose significant regulatory, legal, reputational and financial risks.
Climate change is one of the most financially significant environmental issues currently facing Emerson’s investors and customers. While Emerson delivers products that reduce energy use, information on how Emerson meets goals to manage and reduce its environmental and climate impacts are not disclosed.
Last year 38% of shares (excluding abstentions) voted in favor of this resolution, a substantial level of support that management should not ignore.
We recommend that the report include a company-wide review of policies, practices and metrics related to ESG performance. The GRI index could be a helpful checklist for guidance.

Often first step in the progression of change, or the precursor to change. In mystery, first indication of problem that needs solution.
Confronted a necessity for change (or a need to react). Based on their current internal conflict, they deal with it with as little internal change as possible. After dealing with it they feel successful.
Just when the character feels like everything is under control—something goes wrong. A screw up happens, a new threat arises, or a complication develops. Should show that initial change/reaction was not enough to solve the story dilemma.
What is their reward for overcoming the external and internal plot obstacles? Don’t short cut on this; the reader wants to experience it, too.

When making furniture for the changeable atmospheric conditions of the outdoors, the biodegradable and unstable nature of wood presents challenges. The Tanso bench and chair have been designed in a bid to overcome these challenges, through the application of two different timber treatments. The oak bench has been finished using the ancient Japanese technique of charring wood, Shou Sugi Ban. And the chair is made from beech that has been thermally modified, by heating it in an oxygen-free environment. Both treatments improve the timber’s climatic resistence and dimensional stability, to the highest ‘Class 1’ durability (equivalent to Teak)*.
No chemicals or preservatives are used in either process and the results provide an alternative to less-sustainable tropical hardwoods.
*Timber Durability is measured in 5 classes under the EN350 classification system, with each class determining how long each timber will survive outdoors. These range from class 1 – very durable, lasting 25+ years to class 5 – perishable, lasting less than 5 years.

The client and I fell in love with a slab of granite that looked like the Sistine Chapel and I designed the whole kitchen around it. But when I went to instruct the granite guys the slab was...gone. The slab yard marked and sent the wrong one. Miraculously, our slab was still stashed in the yard and we recovered it before the client returned from overseas, creating this completely custom kitchen - including 39" countertops - in just over four weeks.
These clients love wine. They found examples of built-in enclosures on Pinterest and wanted one of their own. I built this to hold 288 bottles on milled aluminum pegs, and left space on the floor for all the corks.
For a midcentury modern condo kitchen, I designed flat-face cabinets in my favorite wood, walnut. I did the veneer work myself, using five perfectly matched sheets. The ceiling cans, soffit lights, and undercabinet fixtures are all latest-generation LEDs.
I did this new mantel for a lovely couple waiting on their first baby. There's a TV cabinet on the left and a writing desk on the right, with glass subway tiles around the fireplace.
My client had plastic skulls and wanted to make them into lamps. I transformed them in my shop, then designed this one-bedroom apartment around the lamps in a warm gray palette with framed prints of cool street art.
As part of a filmed competition against another designer, my challenge was to make over the client's garage in two days for $2,000. I pulled the colors from the client's own paintings, had his shop drawings printed as wall murals, and created a lighted work station.
To pay homage to the home's Craftsman style, I designed and hand-built the sculptural wood details on the cabinets' ends and the soffit above the sink, and added a stained glass trim to the lighted cove for a warm glow.
The Emmy-winning composer of television and movie scores who owns this keyboard loves its weighted keys, but had ergonomic trouble because it lacked a permanent or adjustable stand. I designed and built this custom desk in Douglas fir with a solid aluminum frame and rolling casters to keep the keyboard at the right height, with surfaces for monitors and peripherals.
The client's family built a beach house in the 1930s and paneled the living room in solid redwood. Years later they tore down and replaced the home for a growing family and kept the redwood tucked away in the garage. I made it into this custom bar.
The Kirk Douglas Theater in Culver City, California asked me to inject some light and color into the lobby. I created these backlit panels with hand-made paper held between panes of glass.
The client loves to travel and collects art from around the globe, but had nowhere to display the treasures and was watching an old 90s TV on a little stand. I made this wall of cabinets to mimic the city skyline, with lights on the art and glowing LED strips above.
For a new kitchen in this 1930s bungalow, we knocked out walls and created this elegant galley design, flooding it with natural light and building custom soffits above.
The Toy Factory lofts were one of the first residential developments in the Los Angeles Arts District. I made this raised platform bedroom with carpet for a soft landing, silk panels for a luxe headboard, and a walk-in closet behind for ample storage.
I designed this house when I was 26 while working the swing shift at a telecom company. I built it by acting as my own general contractor, hiring and supervising all the crews. I did all the interior woodwork, library, light fixtures, and kitchen myself. It was a labor of love. I enjoyed nine years here before selling this house to move to Los Angeles to be a full-time artist and designer.

Dubai: Pakistan has turned the corner in the fight against extremism and terrorism, said a top diplomat in the UAE.
“We have wiped out the forces of evil from our soil due to the unparalleled sacrifices made by our armed forces and our people in the fight against terrorism,” Ambassador of Pakistan Moazzam Ahmad Khan said while speaking at the official reception he hosted in Abu Dhabi on Sunday to celebrate 79th Pakistan National Day. “Pakistan has not only survived but thrived,” he added.
Shaikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance, was the chief guest at the event which was attended by a large number of officials, diplomats and prominent Pakistani community members.
During his speech Ambassador Khan touched upon various aspects of Pakistan’s new journey towards development under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan. “The people-centric development agenda of Prime Minister Imran Khan, coupled with the rapid pace of implementation of the China-Pakistan corridor, world-class military and proven diplomatic finesse, is fast transforming Pakistan’s geostrategic significance into geo-economic strength,” he explained.
He noted that they were not only going to be a game changer for Pakistan but would also bring immense opportunities for international businesses.
He said that Pakistan’s doors would be wide open to legions of global travellers to Asia’s best kept secrets with improved security and much relaxed and easy visa regime recently announced by Prime Minister Imran.
Ambassador Khan also paid tribute to the friendly countries who stood by Pakistan in recent difficult times. “I count the UAE among the foremost of Pakistan’s friends and partners. Right from its inception in 1971, the UAE has stood by Pakistan in good times and bad,” he said.
“I would particularly like to thank the UAE leadership for its generous financial support to Pakistan. It will go a long way in helping Pakistan address its external financial challenges,” he reiterated.

The rotateY() function is used to rotate an element about the y-axis in three-dimensional space.
Where rotate3d() is the transformation function used to rotate an element in three-dimensional space.
It takes an <angle> as a value. The element is rotated then by the specified value about the y-axis. If the value is positive, the element is rotated in a clockwise direction, if it is negative it is rotated in a counter-clockwise direction. The clockwise direction is determined by looking at the x-axis starting from the end (where the pointing arrow usually is) towards the origin. See the rotate3d() section in the transform entry for a visual representation of the clockwise direction along the x-axis.

Deciding upon a career in today's demanding society leaves you with more than a few options. There are many things to consider, such as your passion, your skills, the benefits that come with a career, and financial compensation you can expect. A career as an employment specialist comes with many benefits and has the potential to be a fulfilling career choice.
What does an employment specialist do?
Employment specialists often cater to at-risk individuals such as people with disabilities, military veterans, or people who have been convicted of crimes. As an employment specialist, you could work for a nonprofit, a private or public company, or a government agency.
Depending on the type of business in which you work, your daily responsibilities will vary. For example, you might work in a human resources department and play a vital role in the hiring process of a company. Or you could work for a nonprofit as the individual responsible for helping juvenile delinquents find appropriate after-school jobs.
What education and training can prepare me for a career as an employment specialist?
To become an employment specialist, typically a bachelor’s degree is required, preferably in business administration or psychology. Coursework in communication, management, human resources management, organizational development, and finance is appreciated.
Is a career as an employment specialist right for me?
You should genuinely enjoy working with people if you decide to pursue a career as an employment specialist. You will have many one-on-one meetings and be responsible for helping many different people from all different walks of life. You should also have a passion for helping people better their lives by matching them with appropriate jobs.
A career as an employment specialist has the potential to be a rewarding career, and jobs as human resource specialists are predicted to experience steady growth in the near future.

Queensland Tutors grew out of a love for education. Director Rob Stewart’s mother was a primary school teacher for over 50 years and taught him more than any teacher ever could.
The one-on-one personal time spent together when he was a child meant that when he started school, he could already count, spell and write. Towards the end of her career, she worked as a CRT or replacement teacher. Therefore, some weeks she may have worked at five different schools. This allowed her to see the many holes in the education system first- hand, namely, lack of resources for the teachers and lack of time to spend with students who really needed the help.
Today Queensland Tutors has clients from prep age upwards from all over Queensland. Not only do we teach school-aged children, but adults as well in a variety of subjects. We also hold a Cert IV in Workplace Training and Assessment and conduct vocational learning to adults.
So that’s who we are. If you want evidence of qualifications or experience, please email us and we will be happy to provide them. Queensland Tutors possesses the key ingredients necessary for a successful business in education – qualifications, experience and knowledge of the system.

I had never heard of Florentine Lace Cookies until I saw this recipe on an episode of America’s Test Kitchen a few weeks back. I can’t really explain why, these are not my usual type of cookie, but I was intrigued enough to saved the episode on my TiVo. When I saw a similar recipe posted on Pinterest last week, I decided it was time to give them a try, and I am so glad I did. They are really good and so different than any other cookie I normally make.
When I think of cookies, I usually think of big, soft, chewy cookies. Normally full of chocolate chips, but I can get behind peanut butter or oatmeal raisin cookies too. These are the complete opposite. They are light and delicate, thin and crisp. They don’t have any eggs, hardly any flour, and rather than make a batter, you boil sugar and butter on the stove, candy-making style. I usually pull cookies out of the oven while they are still a bit underdone, while these you leave in until what I they are what I would normally consider burned. So these are totally out of my cookie comfort zone, but that’s what makes it fun to try new recipes, right?
The recipe starts with processing almonds in a food processor until they resemble coarse sand. Easy, right?
The next step is a little trickier, as it seems more like candy making than cookie baking. In a sauce pan, you boil cream, butter and sugar and keep cooking until it gets thick, starts to brown, and doesn’t fill in immediately when a spatula is dragged across the bottom of the pan.
The lighting above my stove doesn’t show it well, but this was getting brown around the edges.
So that’s the hard part, getting the cream mixture to the right consistency without burning it. Then you remove it from the heat and add the rest of the ingredients, the almonds, flour, orange marmalade, orange zest, vanilla extract and salt. Stir it until combined. Very unconventional dough.
Then drop even tablespoons of dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Keep in mind that these will spread, so keep them several inches away. I put 6 on a sheet.
Once the dough is cool enough to touch, pat the dough into 2 1/4 inch rounds. It helps if you wet your fingertips.
Now bake them until they are crispy and evenly browned. It was hard for me to leave them in the oven this long, but trust me, you want them brown. Let them cool completely. You can see why they are called lace cookies, they really do look like lace. Here’s me trying to take a picture of the sun shining through the cookie. I’m not a good photographer.
Once they are completely cool, melt chocolate and drizzle over the cookies. I used a Ziploc baggie and pipped it on.
Then all you need to do is wait for the chocolate to harden, and you can speed that up if you have room for the cookies in your fridge. I didn’t, so it took about half an hour or so on my kitchen table. Then eat them up. They are delicious. Crispy, caramelly, goodness, with a subtle, not overpowering orange flavor (I was a little worried, I loathe marmalade). The little bit of chocolate is the perfect accent to the other flavors. Seriously, they are wonderful, even if they are thick and soft and chewy. They are addicting. It’s hard for me not to eat one each time I walk through the kitchen, and even harder to convince myself I don’t need a second one.
Delicate, crisp, lacy almond cookies with a deep caramel flavor, a hint of orange and a touch of chocolate.
Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Process almonds in food processor until they resemble coarse sand, about 30 seconds.
Bring cream, butter, and sugar to boil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture begins to thicken, 5 to 6 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to brown at edges and is thick enough to leave trail that doesn’t immediately fill in when spatula is scraped along pan bottom, 1 to 2 minutes longer (it’s OK if some darker speckles appear in mixture). Remove pan from heat and stir in almonds, marmalade, flour, vanilla, orange zest, and salt until combined.
Drop 6 level tablespoons dough at least 3½ inches apart on each prepared sheet. When cool enough to handle, use damp fingers to press each portion into 2 1/2-inch circle.
Bake until deep brown from edge to edge, 15 to 17 minutes, switching and rotating sheets halfway through baking. Transfer cookies, still on parchment, to wire racks and let cool. Let baking sheets cool for 10 minutes, line with fresh parchment, and repeat portioning and baking remaining dough.
Microwave 3 ounces chocolate in bowl at 50 percent power, stirring frequently, until about two-thirds melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove bowl from microwave, add remaining 1 ounce chocolate, and stir until melted, returning to microwave for no more than 5 seconds at a time to complete melting if necessary. Transfer chocolate to small zipper-lock bag and snip off corner, making hole no larger than 1/16 inch.
