Deletion of vital information and photos can cost anyone a lot especially when one needs them for some official or project work as in the above case. Not just accidental deletion, there are many factors that initiate this situation like factory reset or software glitch.
No matter what is the situation with you, we will here help you know how to recover deleted photos from iPad without backup with two ways.
Apple with its latest iOS versions has started a convenient service of keeping the recently deleted photos in the iPhone for 30 days. So, in case the user needs any of those back, he/she can retrieve them later effortlessly. And this is the first way we are going to introduce to recover deleted photos from iPad without backup. However, you can only get photos back that are deleted recently i.e. no more than 30 days. Here is how you can perform this method.
1. Start with opening the ‘Photos’ app in your iPad. Tap on ‘Albums’ now and choose ‘Recently Deleted’ album from there. Under this folder, you can notice your recently deleted pictures you deleted within 30 days.
2. Tap on ‘Select’ from the top right corner and start selecting the needed photos. After selection gets over, tap on the ‘Recover’ option located at the lower right corner.
Great! That is the free way for you to restore deleted photos on iPad.
If you want to undelete photos from iPad that are older than 30 days, we recommend you to use the most reliable software for the purpose. And the best software that fits in such situation is iSkysoft Toolbox – iOS Data Recovery. This tool can be used on either your Mac computer or Windows computer without any complications. It has got a great deal of praise from the users and various media sites achieving millions of trusted users. More than this, the tool guarantees full safety and security of the users’ data. Here are some of the most important features that are associated with this amazing program and later we will let you know how you can recover deleted photos from iPad without backup.
It is the most powerful tool coming with three most skilled modes which can help users in – recover data from iOS device directly, recover data from iTunes backup as well as recover data from iCloud backup files.
You can use this tool to retrieve more than 20 types of data, including photos, iMessages, videos, notes, calendars, app data ,etc.
It helps you to preview your data completely before recovering it.
No matter what is the reason behind the lost data, iSkysoft Toolbox – iOS Data Recovery is always there to help you out and recover your data.
It is totally easy to use and can easily work with latest iOS versions and models.
Before you begin the process, you need to get the latest iTunes in your computer and after that open iTunes. Now, go to ‘Preferences’ and click on ‘Devices’ tab from the top of the screen. Subsequently, tick the box next to the option ‘Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically’. Exit from iTunes now and start the recovery process.
Step 1. Download iSkysoft Toolbox for iOS on your Mac or Windows PC. Install and launch it now and connect your iPad with the PC using a USB cable. Hit on ‘Data Recovery’ from main screen.
Step 2. In the next screen, you will notice the data types displaying. Click on the ones you need to recover i.e. photos in this case. After this, click on the ‘Start Scan’ button.
Step 3. The last and the resultant window will show you the files after it get successfully scanned. You can choose them from the left panel and preview them on the main screen. Once satisfied by previewing your photos, select the needed ones and hit on 'Restore to Device' or ‘Recover to Computer’ button. That is how you can directly recover deleted photos from iPad without backup!
We introduced you two ways through which you learnt how to recover deleted photos from iPad without backup. We hope you like this post and it was helpful to you. Please let us know your thoughts about the post and share your experience as well. Also, please share this to your friends if they are in same problem. Thanks for reading folks!

This is a new weblog. It's not intended to replace my old one, which is a LiveJournal, but to suppliment it. I'm still working out how I'll decide how to split the entries, and I may just end up using my LiveJournal for boring personal entries and this one for boring technical entries. You have been warned.
So this weblog here (I'm not too keen on the term 'blog' myself) now exists.
Right, this should be a comment on this entry.

On The Open Tour of Scotland you will play all of the Scottish based Open venues. The links courses of Turnberry, Royal Troon, Muirfield, Carnoustie and the Old Course St Andrews. In addition to the Open courses choose some other courses from Stuart’s clusters. These show courses from the top 100 list close to each Open venue. The Open Tour includes links courses, inland courses and “hidden gems”.
As an “Authorised Provider” of “Guaranteed Old Course Tee Times” we still have some 2019 times remaining. Very soon we will be receiving our 2020 allocation so it is never too early to start planning.
From Glasgow airport, you will be transferred to the 5 star Turnberry Resort.
In the evening, you may dine in any one of the hotels fine restaurants.
Home to 4 Open Championships, the Ailsa course has shaped some of the most remarkable moments in the tournaments history: in 1986 Greg Norman won the Open at Turnberry; in 1977 Tom Watson beat Jack Nicklaus by one shot; in 1994 Nick Price was victorious; and in 2009 Stewart Cink conquered the title at what was, quite simply, an incredible championship.
Following your day on the golf course, you will return to the Turnberry Resort for an evening of relaxation and dinner.
Enjoy a days golf at the Royal Troon Old Course, currently ranked no. 12 in Scotland’s top 100 courses and host to the Open Championship 8 times, the course is both challenging and steeped in golfing history. In addition, the course is also home to both the longest and shortest holes in Open Championship golf.
After breakfast, you will travel to Edinburgh where you will enjoy a morning of sightseeing.
Whilst in the capital of Scotland, you may wish visit the magnificent Edinburgh Castle. Perched on an extinct volcano, this instantly recognisable fortress is a powerful national symbol and part of Old and New Towns of Edinburgh World Heritage Site. Alternatively you may wish to partake in some retail therapy or enjoy a memorable visit to The Scotch Whisky Experience for a full tour and tasting.
Late afternoon, you will be transported to Greywalls Hotel. Uniquely situated on the edge of Muirfield championship golf course, it not only overlooks the world famous greens of the 9th & 18th holes.
Today you will play your 3rd round on the Open venues at Muirfield Golf Course, currently ranked no.3 in Scotland’s top 100 courses, and host to 15 Open Championships, Muirfield Golf Course is a challenge to the worlds great golfers.

It’s half past five in the morning and the sun is yet to rise over Hillarys harbour. Bleary-eyed, we walk to meet our hosts at the boat ramp. Someone comes out of the dim dawn light to greet us, and before long we are on a boat, leaving dry land behind. We head straight out of the harbour just before sunrise. A large moon is reflected on the wake from a passing boat as we navigate the heads. The plan for today is to see exactly what the West Australian shark cull looks like up close. We leave the harbour in a donated boat, fuelled by crowd-funded petrol. The question must be asked: why do this? Why wake early to hop in a tiny boat and follow a Western Australian Fisheries vessel around the Perth coast?
To find answers to these questions, we have tagged along with a couple of volunteers – Laura and Blair – who are keen to show us the reality of the shark cull.
Before we head too far out to sea, however, the specifics of the shark cull in Western Australia must be explained.
After 4 shark attacks in 2013 (1 fatal) and 5 in 2012 (2 fatal), the West Australian (WA) government, led by Premier Colin Barnett, implemented a shark cull trial by way of 72 drum-lines strategically positioned one kilometre off the most popular beaches in WA. This is a similar policy to the one used in Queensland for decades without much in the way of protest, yet here in WA there has been a strong backlash against the government for this policy. What do we make of this? Who is protesting and what are their motives for doing so?
Blair and Laura are not what we expected; Blair is a FIFO (fly-in, fly-out) control supervisor who also volunteers in South Africa tracking sharks for academic research. Laura, an early retiree who is originally from Scotland, plans to one-day sail around the world with her young family. Two successful people from different backgrounds find themselves on a boat, close to Scarborough Beach, watching the sunrise with drum-lines in the distance.
As we approach our first drum-lines, Laura and Blair are on edge. They are not here to stop the cull, nor to interfere. They are here merely to monitor how WA Fisheries carries out the culling and to publicise it to a wider audience. There is a real sense of how powerless they are, as there are 50 metre exclusion zones surrounding the drum-lines. If Laura and Blair spot a shark and the Fisheries vessel is not around, they call them. They then wait for the Fisheries vessel to assess the catch, although they say the fisheries vessel can sometimes take hours to respond.
As we did not see a captured shark, we cannot comment on their response times.
There have been recent instances of activists sabotaging the drum-lines, although our hosts are adamant these people are not affiliated with the monitoring crews and that they are acting independently of their cause to peacefully monitor the shark cull.
“It’s usually pretty easy to see when a shark is on the hook,” Blair says as he scans the drum lines, “A shark in distress tends to get the lines wound around each other and the drums end up touching as opposed to a few metres away.” In this instance the lines are clear, and so we head south towards the next batch of drum-lines.
By monitoring the Fisheries activities and publishing photos of the culling on social media, Blair and Laura hope to pressure the government to stop the shark cull. It is clear that both Laura and Blair have a deep concern about the politicisation of shark attacks; it’s their belief that justification for culling sharks so close to shore is lacking in scientific research, and is more of a reactionary policy rather than substantive one.
Mobile phones are vital in communication between the volunteers. Today we are one of three boats, all in constant contact. Laura calls Jake, another volunteer who has been actively patrolling the lines since the shark cull began.
Jake launches his boat from Fremantle at the same time as the Fisheries vessel, shadowing it along the coast. The PV Hamelin appears in the distance; it is a vessel usually used for research purposes, but which has now been tasked with the cull. It operates over a 12-hour shift from 6am to 6pm. At 20 metres in length, the Hamelin is larger than I imagined, and it dwarfs our small speedboat.
We meet up with the small volunteer vessel, which is named after a character in an animated film. We are oblivious to this fact. “You mustn’t have any children then?” Laura says with a wry grin. The crew on this boat looks to be in their mid-40s. Adorned with small Sea Shepherd stickers, the little skiff appears to be new; we were told the main reason for purchasing it was to monitor the shark cull.
Over the next few hours, we monitor the southern drum-lines running from Port Beach to Trigg, with no captured sharks in sight. During this time, Blair spotted a small hammerhead shark close to the boat, and noted it was likely too small to be hooked on the drum-line.
With fuel running low, we head back to Hillarys, along the way meeting Jake’s vessel again. They have not seen anything either. From what we are told this is unusual, and only the day before two sharks were caught and killed. There is a sense of relief as we pass the last drum-lines in Mullaloo and find them clear.
After disembarking, we meet with Laura’s husband Andy, who is keen to discuss the merits of the monitoring operation. He, like Blair, Laura, and numerous other volunteers, has a strong conviction that this is a policy without merit, but rather one where politicians have reacted to a sensationalist media.
As of the 17th of March, the drum-lines have captured 72 sharks in the metro area and 37 in the southwest. For the metro beaches, 8 were found dead on the lines, 51 were released and 13 culled. In the southwest, 6 were found dead, 12 released and 18 culled, with one self-release. No great white sharks have been captured so far, with the overwhelming majority of those captured being tiger sharks.
There are conflicting views as to the effectiveness of drum-lines, with experts disagreeing on the policy and the public is seemingly far from satisfied. We ended the day with more questions than answers: how much data is currently being collected in this cull? Could it be bringing more sharks close to shore? Is this the new norm off Perth’s beaches? Is this a rushed policy?
One day on a boat is far from enough to comprehend the shark cull in its entirety. What is certain, however, is that tomorrow the sun will rise again over the dark harbours. As long as the Fisheries vessel is heading out, so too will the volunteers.

To combat climate change, one can avoid it via mitigation, or cope with it via adaptation. Even though these objectives are two sides of the same coin, their synergies and conflicts tend to be overlooked.
“Because of the way international negotiations and national policies have separated adaptation from mitigation, two different communities of practices have emerged and they don’t talk to each other,” says Bruno Locatelli, a scientist working for the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and CIRAD, a French research institute specializing in international agricultural and development issues.
This conclusion was drawn after Locatelli and his colleagues analyzed 201 project documents from across Africa, Asia and Latin America. Researchers were surprised to find that 42 percent of the mitigation project documents mentioned a contribution to adaptation while 30 percent of the adaptation project documents mentioned a contribution to mitigation. What’s more, they found, most or all of these projects contained opportunities to contribute to the other objective.
Locatelli spoke with Forests News on the importance of marrying the two to achieve better results when it comes to climate change.
Why is it important for mitigation and adaptation strategies to be combined in climate policy?
In climate change discussions and negotiations, we tend to address the cause of climate change (via mitigation) and its consequences for people and ecosystems (via adaptation) separately. This makes sense analytically because mitigation and adaptation have effects at different timeframes (long vs. short term, respectively) and spatial scales (global vs. local). It makes also sense for some sectors; for example, energy tends to be concerned mostly by mitigation because of its large emissions, whereas health is mostly concerned by adaptation because of its sensitivity to climate variations, such as heat waves.
But when it comes to on-the-ground activities in land-use sectors such as forestry and agriculture, it does not make sense to separate adaptation and mitigation objectives because land-use management affects both the volume of emissions and the vulnerability of ecosystems and people to climate variations.
Forests and trees produce multiple ecosystem services that are relevant to fight climate change: they store carbon (mitigation) and they protect local communities from climate impacts (adaptation) by regulating water, reducing soil losses, protecting coasts from storms, and diversifying livelihoods.
When a mitigation project in forestry (such as a REDD+ project) aims at livelihood diversification, this may be a first step toward thinking how diversification can reduce people’s vulnerability to climate variations and toward increasing adaptive capacity.
You cannot say that you will plant one tree for its adaptation benefits and another one for its mitigation benefits. Focusing on solely one objective and forgetting the other can be dangerous because of the potential trade-offs and adverse effects.
What are some examples of these trades-offs?
An example is related to reforestation. If I want to maximize carbon sequestration in one area facing the problem of water scarcity and I start a forest plantation with intensive management and fast-growing tree species that consume a lot of water, it wouldn’t add up. Sure, I would achieve my goal of addressing global climate change by removing carbon from the atmosphere, but I would exacerbate the local water problems. People living downstream may suffer water shortages and become more vulnerable to climate change.
Another example is related to adaptation in agriculture. For example, I can reduce the vulnerability of agriculture to drought by using energy-intensive irrigation, or by increasing fertilization, both of which would emit more greenhouse gas. My crops would be less sensitive to climate change but I would contribute to an increase in global climate change.
It sounds contradictory, doesn’t it? But this is what happens when we think too narrowly about either adaptation or mitigation.
When I am sick, my doctor tries to fight the cause and the consequences of the disease at the same time. If an infection (the cause) results in high fever (the consequence) and a doctor gives me medicine that treats the infection but increases the fever, we are in the same situation as with mitigation initiatives having adverse effects on adaptation.
If this doctor gives me medicine that lowers the fever but increases the infection, we are in the same situation as with adaptation initiatives having adverse effects on mitigation. In both cases, the narrow analysis of the doctor can lead to severe problems. This is exactly what could happen with climate change initiatives that fail to see the big picture.
So should all projects and policies address adaptation and mitigation jointly?
We should not force the integration of adaptation and mitigation in all projects and policies. Project developers and policymakers must have a good reason to do it. But first, they must be aware that this is possible.
Many opportunities for integrating adaptation and mitigation in the agriculture and forestry sectors can be captured without forcing a marriage between adaptation and mitigation through the provision of adequate information, tools and guidance to project developers or policy makers, as well as by providing incentives.
How can international funds and standards help projects to harness synergies?
The institutional settings of most international climate funds do not create incentives for projects to search for synergies between adaptation and mitigation. International funds could provide more information and technical assistance, or prioritize projects that integrate both goals or assess the costs and benefits of considering the other goal. For example, mitigation projects that assess climate risks and decide on integrating adaptation.
There is hope that the development of the Green Climate Fund can lead to better consideration of synergies between adaptation and mitigation. This organization could ensure that projects capture opportunities to provide multiple adaptation and mitigation benefits without excessively increasing project cycle complexity and costs.
The Green Climate Fund could test innovative approaches to the integration of adaptation and mitigation and stimulate changes at the national level in recipient countries and at the local scale in projects, contributing to the mainstreaming of climate change in development.
International standards can also play a role in improving the integration of adaptation and mitigation. For example, we saw in our analysis that mitigation project documents developed in the framework of the Climate Community Biodiversity standards more often described adaptation measures and outcomes, as these standards provide guidance on adaptation and require adaptation to be addressed to achieve a Gold Level certification.
Verification on the ground of implemented projects could help us understand whether such standards make a real difference in practice, or whether they simply provide lip service by adding adaptation elements in project documents.

End-Time Exodus, Part 5: Overcoming The World!
Maybe not enough time was spent in yesterday’s devotional (click here), on the secret ingredient of prayer, in overcoming the world and overcoming the flesh.
Yes, unceasing prayer is the secret ingredient to this recipe for success, in overcoming the world and the flesh.
But until we overcome the world and the flesh, then it is only logical that much of our prayer-life will be in the form of pleading for God’s mercy and deliverance from the cesspool of sin!
Notice that James calls us, “adulterers and adulteresses”. It is because we still love this present world, that James calls us “adulterers and adulteresses”.
LOVING THIS WORLD IS HATING GOD!
But then again, James did not live in a day when the world has embraced Christians.
James did not live in a day when it was getting harder and more difficult to get away from being surrounded by unbelievers!
And James did not live in a time when the government was in charge of “educating” our children!
No, James did not live in our day!
But then again, James was merely the penman for God, in the writing of James’ Epistle. And God obviously knew all about what we’re going through in this present day, as He guided James’ pen!
Yes, God knew that His people would be intermarrying with unbelievers, or at least, God knew we would be marrying near-unbelieving, nominal Christians!
And God also knew that the TV would enjoy a place of prominence in the households of many Christians.
And God foreknew all about the opulence and hedonism which our society has become mired in.
And He understood long ago, that high-tech devices and Internet would become so powerful, that God’s people and their children would become prisoners of the filth and wickedness which is so prevalent, by means of these communication devices.
And God well-knew about all the many clubs and hobbies, and vacation resorts, and time-consuming, energy-sapping careers that too many Christians and their children would be seeking after.
And God knew about all the materialism of this industrial-age that has become our daily pursuit, to a great extent!
Yes, God foreknew in ages past, all about the countless temptations that we Christians are going through in today’s world: things which cause us to put our relationship with Him on the back-burner, as we go after so many of these costly and time-consuming pursuits!
Yes, just like Jonah’s prayer here, we too have sought after lying vanities, and Hell has enlarged her mouth and swallowed us up!
And we are in the belly of Hell as surely as was Jonah!
Therefore, as the sheep of His pasture, we must spend much time on our knees, praying for the deliverance of our selves and for God’s mercy on our families. And until both of these blessings are accomplished, we must remain on our spiritual knees, crying out daily, nay, hourly, nay, moment-by-moment for God’s great mercy and grace!
Yes, dear soul, if you and I are tired of seeing the Enemy of Souls doing his deadly dance upon our backs and upon our children’s backs; if you and I are tired of living in this self-seeking and Mammon-loving world, then we must pray for deliverance and victory!

Ooooh, I've gotten behind again. And it's Thanksgiving time, so your art coming home from school has really put us in the fall mood First to come home was this really cute brown bag pumpkin that you made! We had it as part of our post-Halloween decorations on the dining room table. Super cute!
Next came the gorgeous stained glass leaves that you made with contact paper and tissue paper. I love these; they are probably my favorite piece of art you did. These are currently hanging over your changing table (although we no longer use it as a changing table now that you are potty trained. YAY!).
Then we have your more Thankgiving-y art: This first piece of art is either a fall leaf or Indian corn. When I ask you, you say it's a leaf, so we'll go with that. Either way, I love the colors!
And finally, and most Thanksgiving-appropriate, we have your little construction paper turkey. He is SO cute! I'm going to hang him on your wall after you wake up from nap. I LOVE this little guy!
Here on the home-front, we're still doing art as well, although not as much as we used to do. Lately we've been working on learning how to cut with scissors, and you've been doing really well with that. You will make a snip and then tear the paper in a line the rest of the way. You're on your way to being a great scissor-user.
But then Daddy got involved and showed you that the noodles could also fit on your fingers, and that was WAY more exciting than making some old necklace. Sigh. Daddy: what are we going to do with him?!

Transformation of the façade with a unique shadow-free llinear Lighting solution.
At the end of 2012, the La Cour building in Düsseldorf's Le Quartier Central, premiered as the first office building in the newly-built district. The architectural characterization of the seven-storey office building is clear, timeless and elegant forms. The broad natural lighting elements of the façade highlight the project's claims of sustainability and energy efficiency.
As part of the façade lighting, the Luxsystem SL 67.2 was extensiely used. The requirements of the lighting system were considerable: including cost-effective uniform illumination without any shadows and quick safe installation of the very long lines of light. Thanks to the slim lighting fixtures with their ingenious quick-assembly continuous line technology, the project was considered very successful.

Some Native Americans were very surprised when they learned that "the White Man" thinks with his head because their experience was that one thinks with one's heart. Chief Mountain Lake said to the Psychologist Carl Jung when he visited the Pueblos something along the lines of : "We don't understand the white people; they're always looking for something; you can see the craziness in their eyes. What are they looking for?"
He was right, we're always looking for something, and many of us don't know what they're looking for. We live in a "rational" age and are proud of it. Intellect is what counts - academia, detached objectivity. We have huge problems in our society and can't find solutions. Maybe that's because we think with our heads, not our hearts.
Even a lot of counselling is now aiming to work on a rational level, not including the soul, the inner world. Our souls are parched, thirsting for attention and care, for space and time to express their creativity. To express emotions is frowned upon - it seems out of control and it doesn't fit neatly into a box. We're afraid of the irrational, the world of feeling, sensation and instinct. We're scared of what lies hidden under the surface of our rational minds and we have cut ourselves off from our hearts.
Some religious people have banned God (whatever God may be, maybe the force of life within ourselves?) into laws, rules and commandments. They even try to fit God into a neat square box. We live in a cold, rational world of intellectualism and the paradox is that the more rational we try to be, the more absurd our actions and decisions become because we can't see the whole picture.
What would it mean to think with the heart? It would mean to include feeling in our thinking: If you make a decision that affects others, how would it feel to be on the receiving end, to be in their shoes? Can you remember how it feels to be a child or teenager and to be bossed around by adults? To think with the heart means to connect emotionally with everyone and everything around us and to care.
If we only think in a factual way our relationships won't work and our hearts will dry up and crust over. We will become hard-hearted, towards others and ourselves. We will dismiss the little voice inside that asks: "Are you really living a rich and full life? Or are you just all work, facts, duties and no play? When did you last play, day-dream and let your imagination run wild?" We're always looking for something but we will never know what we're really looking for if we don't start to think with our hearts.

Leading global law firm Baker McKenzie continues to expand its London transactional practices with the appointment of Kathy Honeywood to the Corporate practice. Kathy joins from Clifford Chance where she was a partner.
Kathy is a highly experienced Corporate deals lawyer and specialises in complex M&A transactions, corporate finance and joint ventures. Kathy has advised on a number of high profile deals across a range of sectors, with some recent matters including acting for Shell and S&P Global.
Her appointment brings the number of Partner-level hires in the transactional practices since the start of the year to six. Last month, Partner Michael Doran joined the Structured Capital Markets practice from White & Case, while Nick O'Grady and Bevis Metcalfe both joined the Banking & Finance team from Ropes & Gray.
Commenting, London Managing Partner Alex Chadwick said: "With almost 20 years of M&A experience and strong client relationships, Kathy is well placed to enhance our Corporate EMI practice and to capitalise on the huge opportunities in the energy industry. This plays also straight into our strategy of bolstering and growing our key transactional practices in London. I'm delighted to welcome her to the Firm."
Baker McKenzie's London Head of EMI Richard Blunt added: "Kathy's skillset and sector experience makes her an ideal addition to the team. She is a highly experienced and regarded corporate lawyer, and she will play a key role in strengthening our energy sector transactional offering and further build our client relationships. We look forward to Kathy joining our team."
Kathy has a wealth of experience across multiple sectors and geographies. While she was a core member of Clifford Chance's Global Transactions Advisory Strategy Group, Kathy was also a key member of the firm's Energy and Infrastructure Sector group, as well as their Consumer Goods and Retail sector group. In addition, Kathy has significant Asia Pacific experience, having led the Clifford Chance corporate practice in South East Asia based in Singapore from 2015.
Baker McKenzie continues to grow through strategic hires and organic growth. In addition to Michael, Nick and Bevis mentioned above, earlier this year the Firm announced the appointment of Finance Partner Matthew Cox to the Banking practice from Ropes & Gray and Megan Schellinger who joined the Capital Markets team from Linklaters. Last summer, Freshfields Finance Partner Geoff O'Dea and Matthew Smith from Travers Smith joined the Banking practice, while Sue McLean joined the IT practice as a Partner from Morrison & Foerster. The Firm also announced the promotion of 5 senior associates to Partner: Susie Davies (Corporate); Kim Sartin (Employment); Jennifer Revis (International Commerce & Trade); Mark Simpson (Financial Services); and Ben Farnell (Real Estate).

Keyboard player Nigel Hopkins played piano at Celebrating Jon Lord last month in London – including centerpiece Pictured Within and All Those Years Ago.
‘I hope you enjoyed the concert. It’s taken me a while to get my head around it. It still hasn’t hit me properly about how important it was. I am waiting for the moment that it actually sinks in.
The camaraderie backstage and on the rehearsals was amazing. It was like everyone had been family members and they were celebrating a birthday.
In this case, it was Jon’s life and music we were celebrating and I could honestly say that there were moments when every single band member, musician and singer felt the power of respect and love for Jon and his music from the audience. Humbling and very emotional.
Some of my favourite moments were those where I felt Jon’s (I can’t say Spirit), but his emotions through playing songs like Pictured Within and All Those Years Ago. Such a new piece to many but so fitting.
They were difficult to play not in a musical sense, but as Paul Mann described it to me about the instrumental section in Pictured Within… Almost in another worldly place… I got what he meant because it was like I wasn’t playing the piano. It was as if I was a spectator.
Jon’s music as you know is something that we all can’t ignore. Hopefully in the future, we can celebrate his music again in such a prestigious way.
I’ve had many lovely messages about the concert and a lot of good musician friends who’ve requested a blow by blow account of my time with everyone, but I’ve yet to recount everything.
When I do, maybe then I’ll be in a position to talk openly about it, but I declined an interview to camera backstage as I felt that there were more qualified musicians there to utilise the time and also, there wasn’t really much I could say that everyone else couldn’t.
The only thing I could have said was when I worked with Jon [at Lichfield in 2009, Ed], he played the Child in Time intro and Steve Balsamo looked across as I started to fill up. I had played it a hundred times exactly like the In Rock studio version.
I spoke to Jon after the concert and said I filled up with tears upon hearing the opening 3 lower manual 5ths on the Hammond. He smiled. Then I told him I continued to fill up and he asked why.
I said, “Because you played it wrong”.
He laughed and said, “My dear boy, music is of the moment and had they kept the take before or the one after, it would have been different again. Music is an extension of emotions and the spirit at that moment in time”.
What he was actually saying was that we should never be governed by rules and that is one thing Paul Mann said to me about Jon’s piano parts. “Don’t stick religiously to the charts. Jon always allowed a little bit of room for improvising”.
All the best and thanks for your hard work on this site.
T-shirts, programmes and posters from Celebrating Jon Lord at Royal Albert Hall are still available from The Sunflower Jam website.

It seems many people believe a request for Freedom of Information needs to be filed in order to get any information from the Town Hall.
It’s not the case. In public service, information is currency.
Probably 99% is a matter of public record. If a request involves preparation and copying documents, there has to be a fee. If you want town staff to do research and prepare documents, you need to pay for that service.
The Aurora Library has records. The town’s web site also. Public meetings are all recorded. Agendas and minutes are available. About everything you always wanted to know about the Town Hall is on the web site.
Traditionally, the town clerk’s office provides information. If an inquiry needs to be directed to a particular department, they will steer it accordingly. People who work in the public service, generally like what they do. They are inclined to do it well.
E-mails generally get a prompt response. The Mayor’s Office and Councillors are also a resource. It’s an important part of our function.
Last term, we talked about streaming council meetings. It would have meant you could log in to council meetings at will. We had the technology. We needed extra hands. They were not provided.
Having to file an application for Freedom of Information should be a last resort.
If you were asking for a list of all recorded votes in the past three years and it required 84 pages of print and numerous man- hours to compile, that would cost you a tidy sum. But if you thought it would prove something and really wanted it, you could do the work yourself from records available.
Personally I found the report too tedious to read let alone research. One thing it revealed was a frightening lack of knowledge among people who should know the purpose of a recorded vote.
The only significant item I have had trouble obtaining, was my last request for legal expenditures of the previous two and a half years.
The first time I asked the cost of Mr. Rust D’Eye’s service. It took a little while to compile but a figure of $16,200 was provided by the treasurer without demur. The Mayor later stated Mr. Rust D’Eye had written or helped to write the Code of Conduct. That came after I received the figure mentioned. Obviously, there was an additional fee for that service.
Next time I asked, I received a sheaf of invoices for three months service. It was never at any time suggested information about legal costs were not my right to receive. Quite the opposite in fact.
I think we may take that as example of the “change” referred to by the Mayor in her New Year’s message.
A citizen’s group filed a request under Freedom of Information for details of legal expenditures. The time frame of the request is not known.
Solicitors present invoices according to their own schedule. Whether information was up to date at the time of the citizen group’s request I cannot say. Although there was an apparent discrepancy between a previous report and the information provided in response to the FOI request.
Providing information freely and without equivocation tells a story.
Refusal to provide it tells another. Both are a revelation.

Patients with known or suspected cardiac disease undergoing general surgery present a common management problem. Anesthesia and surgery are often associated with marked fluctuations of heart rate and blood pressure, changes in intravascular volume, myocardial ischemia or depression, arrhythmias, decreased oxygenation, increased sympathetic nervous system activity, and alterations in medical regimens and pharmacokinetics. Even with careful monitoring and management, the perioperative period can be very stressful to cardiac patients.
The risk of surgery in patients with heart disease depends primarily on three factors: the type of operation, the nature of the heart disease, and the degree of preoperative stability. The type of anesthesia is less important, though halothane, enflurane, and barbiturates are more severe myocardial depressants, whereas narcotics have little depressive effect. Spinal and epidural anesthesia were previously thought to be preferable in patients with heart disease, but this has not proved to be the case.
The highest-risk procedures are surgery of the aorta and vascular procedures, in part because these patients often have associated severe coronary disease but also because marked blood pressure and volume changes are common.
Major abdominal and thoracic surgery are also associated with substantial cardiovascular risk, especially in older patients with associated cardiovascular disease.
Numerous studies have evaluated the excess risk of surgery in patients with various cardiac diseases. Recent (within 3 months) myocardial infarction, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, and significant aortic stenosis are associated with substantial increases in operative morbidity and mortality rates. Any degree of instability in these conditions magnifies the potential risk. Stable angina, especially in an inactive individual, is also associated with a higher operative risk. Although less common, cyanotic congenital heart disease and severe primary or secondary pulmonary hypertension pose great risks during major surgery. In patients with any of these problems, the risk-to-benefit ratio of the planned surgery should be carefully examined. If the procedure is necessary but elective, consideration should be given to delaying it until full recovery postinfarction and correction or optimal stabilization of the other conditions are achieved. Hypertension should be at least moderately controlled. Patients with severe angina should have increased medical therapy or be considered for revascularization before noncardiac surgery. Symptomatic arrhythmias, nonsustained ventricular tachycardia, or high-grade atrioventricular block and cardiac failure should be treated optimally.
Clinical assessment provides the most useful guidance in determining the risk of noncardiac surgery. Important indicators of high risk have been discussed above. Patients with known but clinically stable heart disease, such as angina pectoris or prior myocardial infarction, are at intermediate risk, particularly for major operations such as vascular surgery. If a history or symptoms of heart failure are present, assessment of left ventricular function can be very helpful in perioperative management. Although frequently advocated, further noninvasive testing for myocardial ischemia for the purpose of risk stratification is probably overutilized. Tests such as stress myocardial perfusion scintigraphy or dobutamine echocardiography should be reserved for situations in which the results may alter patient management. There is no evidence that prophylactic revascularization by either PTCA or coronary artery bypass surgery alters long-term outcome in patients undergoing noncardiac surgical procedures without the usual indications for PTCA or CABG. Only in the case of major vascular operations is perioperative mortality and morbidity high enough that prophylactic PTCA or CABG should be considered.
However, it should be noted that many patients undergoing surgery have not had recent medical follow-up, and this may be an appropriate opportunity to perform a more complete evaluation. Thus, stress testing may be indicated for selected patients with symptomatic angina or prior myocardial infarction with a view to instituting more comprehensive medical management or performing coronary revascularization to reduce long-term (rather than perioperative) mortality and morbidity. At the least, such patients should not be discharged without a plan for an appropriate follow-up and institution of antihyperlipidemic, aspirin, and ß-blocker therapy as indicated.
Once the decision to operate is made, careful management is essential. Most cardiac medications should be continued preoperatively and postoperatively. In patients judged to be at high risk or medium risk, ß-blockers should be initiated preoperatively unless contraindicated. If practical, oral therapy with atenolol or metoprolol should be started several days prior to surgery and gradually increased to 100 mg in single or divided doses. Otherwise, 15 mg of metoprolol or 10 mg of atenolol may be administered intravenously in 5 mg increments separated by 5-10 minutes prior to induction. These doses should be repeated every 12 hours - or more frequently if excessive tachycardia occurs - until oral therapy can be commenced. Monitoring is an important prophylactic measure in high-risk individuals; hemodynamic monitoring can facilitate early intervention in patients with heart failure, severe valve disease, or easily induced myocardial ischemia. Excessive hypertension, hypotension, and myocardial ischemia should be identified and appropriately treated using rapidly acting agents. Transesophageal echocardiography can also be used for intraoperative monitoring of ischemia, but its value has never been established in well-designed studies. Ischemic events, whether symptomatic or silent, should be vigorously treated.

This is a common myth that revolves around critical care at home. Some people still feel that medical care at home is not as up to them mark as that of a hospital. In fact, the only difference in such cases is that there is change of environment which makes the patient feel comfortable and patients really do show rapid progress when they feel at ease. Critical care services and setup such as professional monitoring systems, trained therapists and constant updates from and to the physicians can be setup at home without compromising on patient’s health. So next time, if the doctor sees fit, the patient can be shifted back at home without any worries.
Risk involved in critical care at home is the same as risk involved in a medical facility. Change of place will not make the patient’s health worse. In fact, care at home might prove to be twice as useful for recovery since the patient will be with his/her loved ones. Emotional support majorly affects the progress towards a healthy life meaning that patients can recover better when they are taken care of at home instead of a medical institute or hospital.
Another misconception is that patients are in the hands of an individual who is not from the family and hence may not care as much for the patient. Though it is completely natural to be worry about your loved ones, you can be rest assured that they will be in safe hands. The Philips critical care team is composed of qualified professionals from the industry with commendable records. All our therapists are professionally trained and certified ACLS/BLS (AHA) with a 4 year degree course and mandatory hospital ICU internship for at least 1 year. They are hand picked for you, assuring you complete peace of mind.

Are Smart Cars Actually Safe Cars?
We all know the familiar silhouette of the tiny Smart car, and are familiar with its many benefits: ease of maneuvering and parking in cities, fuel efficiency (up to 44 miles per gallon), and low cost (starting around $12,000), but are these tiny cars actually safe in an accident? How can an accident in a Smart car impact car insurance rates? The answers are complex and largely dependent upon the driver.
The Smart car is built with an extremely sturdy, race car style safety cell, steel frame that gives it a very sturdy foundation and helps to disperse the force from an impact across the entire car. This coupled with some very high tech safety features such as front and side airbags, and disc brakes, means that the Smart car fares much better in collisions than its diminutive size would indicate. In fact, that Smart car performed so well in crash tests that it earned a five star rating from the independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This is the group’s highest crash safety rating. The tests simulate frontal impacts at 40 miles per hour, while the side impacts are simulated at 31 miles per hour with the force of a sport utility vehicle. Even in side impacts, the Smart car performed well, with its new aluminum reinforced cross bars.
In rear impacts, the Smart car received the second highest ranking the IIHS gives, “acceptable.” This is a very good rating for a car of this size.
However, measuring slightly over eight feet long and just less than five feet wide and tall and weighing in at 1,800 pounds, the Smart car is simply less safe in a collision than a larger, heavier vehicle where simple physics protect the driver. In a collision with an SUV (which frequently weighs over 4,000 pounds), even the vaunted, modern safety features of the Smart car will not be able to offset the disadvantage of being struck by a larger object.
The answer to the question is a complex one. In frontal impacts against stationary objects, or frontal or side impacts by like sized vehicles, the Smart car performs excellently. In impacts with larger objects, the Smart car does not perform as well. In cities with smaller vehicles and lower speeds, the Smart car will prove to be very safe in most circumstances. On the freeway, in areas with large numbers of SUV’s, it will be at a tremendous disadvantage in a collision with a larger vehicle. The solution though, as always, is to drive defensively and to remain alert, especially when in a small vehicle such as a Smart car.

Will drinking soda make me fat?
The consensus is that drinking soda can make you fat. Of course, when you feel like you’re at the end of your energy reserves, there’s no instant pick me up quite like a cool, sugary swig of soda. However, what exactly does soda do to your waistline?
Enter your zip code above and find the right health insurance coverage for your and your family!
How much sugar does soda contain?
On average, a 12-ounce can of soda contains the equivalent to ten teaspoons of sugar. Therefore, when you drink one can of soda, you are consuming nearly half of your recommended daily sugar intake, which is 90 grams.
With this amount of sugar ingestion, you may have a momentary high, but it’s usually too much for your body to absorb. As a result, the body turns the sugar into fat.
Also, the sugar makes you thirstier. So you go to the vending machine, put your hard-earned coins in the slot, and open another can.
Another 40 grams of sugar enters your bloodstream, and you’ve now consumed nearly your entire sugar intake for the day.
According to the California Centre for Public Health Advocacy, Americans, on average, drink 50 gallons of soda and other sweetened beverages per year.
Since the 1950s, the size of an average soda in America has increased from 6.5 ounces to 16.2 ounces.
The link between drinking soda and weight gain is clearly supported by the statistics. Every time a child drinks an extra serving of soda, he or she faces an increased obesity risk of 60 percent.
How does soda affect your diet?
Because you still need to eat complex carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins to maintain good health, the extra calories found in soda contribute to excess weight gain.
Soft drinks are empty calories. It is high in energy but has no nutritional value.
Even if you eat a healthy, balanced diet, soda still tacks on empty calories, which you don’t need. On average, a serving of soda usually contains between 250 and 300 calories.
To burn off 300 calories, a person weighing 155 pounds must perform thirty-five minutes of high impact aerobics.
Consuming an extra 300 calories per day over the course of eleven days will cause you to gain one pound. It’s starting to sound like a lot of extra work!
Do scientific studies prove the links between soda and weight gain?
According to the American Society for Clinical Nutrition, the link between soda and weight gain is supported by several scientific studies.
Over a four-week period, DiMeglio and Mattes put fifteen adults to the test by asking them to consume 450 calories per day in the form of soda and then the equivalent in jellybeans.
Those tested gained more weight from drinking soda than they did from eating jellybeans.
This does not mean you should overindulge with jellybeans, but the test proved that liquids high in calories are worse than solids of similar caloric composition.
Another interesting observation from the American Society for Clinical Nutrition is that increased soda consumption has led to a decrease in the consumption of milk.
In fact, in 1990, Americans drank 58 percent less milk than they did in 1970.
To avoid weight gain, only consume soda occasionally. If you drink soda frequently because of low energy, it might be time to look at the bigger picture.
Make sure you are drinking enough water, sleeping at least eight hours each night, and getting enough exercise.
Energy derived from healthy sources is sustainable and will lead to optimum physical and mental performance in the long run.

Sign up for our next Saturday workshop with Betty Rackham at the next Demo Evening. Names and fees to Claire. The workshop will run in the Community Centre from 10am to 4pm.
PETER FRENCH will demonstrate how he paints a landscape in watercolours.
All current members of the Committee who agreed to continue were re-elected and Henry Needham was elected onto the Committee.
We still need a Publicity Officer and a Treasurer but hopefully we will have these soon!!
Full details of the meeting will be available in the minutes.
Claire had organised this so thanks to her and to everyone who brought and bought.
Demonstration on painting surfaces by Di.
It was obvious that Di had spent many hours investigating and preparing this demonstration.
She explained the advantages and disadvantages of different surfaces and their preparation for painting. 3mm MDF is rather thin so it is best to use a thicker MDF as is the case with plywood. Plywood and hardboard bend and are affected by heat and water. All surfaces have to be primed and it is best in the case of MDF to use a sealer or shellac. As MDF is carcinogenic and contains formaldehyde it is best to cut it wearing goggles and thoroughly seal it on both surfaces and sides.
An ordinary paint primer is no use as it doesn't last - it cracks and peels off.
Di then showed us how to make gesso from 2 parts paint : 1 part whiting : 1 part PVA glue : 2 parts water. Texture can be added using eg. egg shells, vegetable netting or pulses or by making it thicker to use it as a texture paint. The first coat of gesso should be thin but the next 2 or 3 thicker.
All the boards can be covered with fabric. First cut the board to fit the frame then cut the fabric either to the edge or leaving an edge to be folded over. A disadvantage is that it can wrinkle.
Aluminium is another surface which can be used. It is light and indestructable and can be used with many media but not pastels. It must be cut to fit the frame. It is first sanded with a block then wiped over with alcohol to remove dirt and dust before priming with gesso. Pictures can be hung by attaching wooden stripes with superglue then using hooks or self-adhesive hooks can be used.
Totton & Eling Community Centre 10.00 a.m. - 4.00 p.m.
We will look at the way the Art Nouveau movement developed and the different styles of painting that arose and try some out ourselves. MORE DETAILS AT THE AGM.
Claire Palmer will be taking bookings for our next ‘in-house’ workshop at the AGM meeting. Please bring your £5 booking fee when you put your name on the list. Alternatively contact Claire to arrange a postal booking. The fee is due to be paid before the day.

Once the food is down and sunscreen on, I debate making a second coffee before heading outside. Alright, I'll make a second cup. Weak though, we're in conservation mode after all. I don't have cup holders anywhere, with the exception of makeshift devices constructed with 550 parachute cord. It's just a thin rope, so the improvised cup holders only hold until about 35 degrees of roll. After which, I have a projectile coffee mug on my hands. Another battle for another day. Today it should hold fine until 0900 or 1000, before the winds pick up.
I position the oars into the rowing position after removing the securing lanyards. I'm overly cautious when securing the oars during rest periods. Unless the seas are raging, the oars are fine sitting in the oar lock with just one lanyard. They are physically tied to the boat, so they'll just trail behind me should the seas attempt to claim them. And the seas have made this attempt, of course. The bigger threat is breaking an oar underneath the boat in a cross current. I've had a few close calls in rough conditions. When one side of the boat lifts, the oar blade drops to maintain contact with the water, and the oar handle rises in response. It really rises; I've jammed fingers between the oar handle and the hardtop on several occasions. If the handle is on an upward trajectory that's sure to crush a digit, I just release and watch. The watching portion has ended in awkward recoveries. It's amazing the number of ways an oar can get jammed into unfortunate places. Consequently, I've been contemplating a 550 cord solution that also won't impede on the rowing itself.
I turn on the weather and steering instruments and get comfortable. I stretch my back, un-pin the seat, strap my feet into position and begin the first rowing session. The first row is silent, as I've made customary. I get a sense for how the boat is responding to the environment. It's not entirely obvious or self-evident how the boat will respond. Seemingly identical conditions can produce wildly different results. Rowing on a heading of 180 with winds directly out of the north can produce a course of 180 or 350, or anything in between. This is because heading and winds aren't the only factors. Teasing out all the different variables is possible, but not entirely necessary. With the overview of weather in mind, I've found the "stickiness" of the blades through the water is the best rule-of-thumb indicator for expected performance.
Some days the blades feel like they are cutting through mud, no matter how hard or how long I row. Other days, if feels like the blades are spring loaded and cutting through air. I'm getting better at deciphering the details, but today I just accept that I'm operating on about a 45% stickiness level, which generally produces about 0.9 knots over the ground (not through the water) if I row hard. 100% sticky is pointless. The boat might be too big, or I might be too weak. Either way, I need to choose my rowing efforts carefully. Rowing at 70% sticky for 10 hours might be equally as effective as rowing zero hours with a deployed sea anchor. As a clue - the longer the winds maintain a constant favorable direction, the lower the stickiness level.
I continue at 45%. Averaging 0.9 knots felt awful 4 months ago, now it's acceptable. Especially if it's on a desired course. Today it's not, which is more common. I'm deviating from desired by at least 20 degrees, further lowering my speed over the ground from 0.9 to 0.7 knots. It's starting to feel less acceptable. I could average 2.5-3.0 knots in Puget Sound fully loaded, so this drop in performance is still tough to stomach. I attempt maximizing performance with small tweaks in heading and course using onboard instruments (sometimes huge tweaks). The electronic compass is off by 15 degrees as compared to the traditional wet compass. My handheld compass agrees with the wet compass, so I've calibrated my brain to think in 15 degree offsets when looking at the electronic instruments. Flooding of the heading sensor definitely didn't help the situation, and Garmin makes these adjustments unnecessarily difficult, so I've just accepted it. Just like my watch that looses 4.2 seconds per day, the manual corrections are easier to contend with than the underlying root problem.
Another indicator of performance is the variability of course over the ground. This is also related to stickiness, which is related to weather and everything else. If I'm holding a solid 1.5 knots indicated speed over ground, but the course is fluctuating 15 degrees, then it's more like 1.2 knots over the ground in reality. If the course is fluctuating near 80 degrees, it's closer to 0.5 knots over the ground. Why these course fluctuations are occurring is still a partial mystery, but I'm learning. Of course, despite all this knowledge, it's all useless when Mother Nature wants her way. I once rowed a full 360 degree "circle" and my course over the ground didn't change at all. Sometimes it's best to just hang up the oars and take a nap. Today, I shall carry on.

After some time, no monkey dares to go up the ladder regardless of the temptation.
A 2nd monkey was substituted and the same occurred. The 1st monkey participated on [sic] the beating for [sic] the 2nd monkey.
A 3rd monkey was changed and the same was repeated (beating). The 4th was substituted and the beating was repeated and finally the 5th monkey was replaced.
If it was possible to ask the monkeys why they would beat up all those who attempted to go up the ladder ... I bet you the answer would be ... "I don't know — that's how things are done around here"..
Does it sound familiar? Why do we continue to do what we are doing if there is a different way out there. Stop doing things the same way. Realize your potential and be different. 1st step towards a change is the most important. Be a Leader, not a Slave!

“Today’s Cultural Cities enquiry and the announcement of funding to explore the creation of a local ‘cultural compact’ is a breath of fresh air for someone like me who has seen and heard so many reports like this in the past. It is concise, has concrete requests of policy makers and is very timely.
In the decade since Liverpool was European Capital of Culture, the national conversation about the role and importance of culture has moved a long way in a short time. Back in 2008 Liverpool’s work with local people- known as the creative communities project – was a new approach to engagement through the arts. It was done at scale with proper investment and led by household name artists. It made engagement a central part of the process not an add on at the end.
Ten years ago this seemed revolutionary, as did Liverpool’s financial commitment to arts and culture which has seen us as a city council maintain our level of investment into the sector every year, even as we became the most heavily cut council in the entire country as the savage reality of austerity was laid bare last week in the centre for cities report. But that approach in the face of a national retreat away from arts funding has been validated – an upcoming report from Liverpool John Moores University – Impacts 18 – will be released in coming weeks and sets out empirical evidence behind Liverpool’s renaissance of the last decade.
Much of what we did then is now seen as common practice, and the story I have told about the power of cultural investment being the rocket fuel for regeneration seems to have stuck. Everyone from politicians to business seem to be professing the same thing. Culture is good. It’s good for the economy. For social cohesion. For health. For education. And for giving UK plc a competitive advantage.
So it is odd that investment and support of the sector at a national level has been so sporadic and unstrategic. There was an interesting debate over the weekend around the moral conundrum for the arts in accepting commercial revenue from certain business sectors. I’m sure I speak for the vast majority of cultural organisations here in Liverpool, in wishing that the opportunity was there for us to have the moral conundrum on our hands! Attracting investment from the private sector to support the cultural ecology of a city is incredibly tough and getting harder.
That is why today’s announcement is so encouraging. Put together by top industry names from across the sector, the report itself is clear and succinct in its ask of government for what the sector needs to grow structurally and also where we need financial support to better evolve our cultural offer independently. The recognition of the need for a Tourism Levy is a real step forward and something we can’t wait around on for much longer, and the commitment of funding to help bring together local and national organisations is helpful.

CWD File Extension - What is a .cwd file and how do I open it?
What is a CWD file?
Nonogram file used by nonogram puzzle programs, such as QNonograms; contains a nonogram puzzle, which consists of numbers and grid data.
A nonogram puzzle, which is similar to a hankie, girdler, or paint-by-numbers puzzle, consists of cells in a grid that must be colored or left blank in order to reveal a picture. The puzzle contains numbers for each grid row and column that indicate the number of colored square sets. You must choose which squares are colored and which squares are blank based on the numbers provided in order to solve the puzzle and reveal the image.
NOTE: The CWD file is the same as the .JCR and .JAP file but contains the nonogram puzzle in plain text.
Our goal is to help you understand what a file with a *.cwd suffix is and how to open it.
The Nonogram Puzzle file type, file format description, and Windows and Linux programs listed on this page have been individually researched and verified by the FileInfo team. We strive for 100% accuracy and only publish information about file formats that we have tested and validated.

The Wellness and Events Center at NJIT will be buzzing with recruitment activity Feb. 13 when employers and jobseekers convene for the Spring 2019 Career Fair. Gregory Mass, executive director of the university’s Career Development Services, noted that the 200 or so employers attending have been registered by design to meet both their needs and those of the students.
Mass also spoke more broadly about today’s hiring environment. We pick up with him for the second part of a timely conversation on topics ranging from personal branding to career longevity.
How can jobseekers stand out from among the pack in terms of personal branding?
Personal branding is your perceived worth in the labor marketplace. It’s important to have a brand that is depictive of skills and competencies that employers are interested in.
The No. 1 advice we give is to get some experience while you’re at school, because your personal branding is frontloaded by your resume, which will contain skills that were developed by that experience. Your correspondence also reflects your brand, so proofread, check grammar and follow protocols.
Additionally, master the art of networking. By that I mean social media networking. It’s not enough to simply post your profile on LinkedIn; it’s what you do with it once it’s there. Are you joining clubs and groups of interest? Are you having any kind of information exchanges with your connections? Are you actively developing your network in a positive way and guarding yourself against putting stuff out there that’s going to hurt you. With regard to social media, we often talk about it from a ‘be smart’ perspective, which remains true. Once you post something, it’s there forever; you can’t hide it. It’s your commentary, so be cautious.
Attending professional association meetings, going to events, going to conferences are just as important. I’ll share with you that the undergraduate students, mostly, who go to the SWE [Society of Women Engineers], NSBE [National Society of Black Engineers] and SHPE [Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers] national conferences, attain more job offers there than probably anywhere else.
What soft skills are employers increasingly looking for?
Communication skills are always at the top of the list, so be a good writer, be a good speaker, make sure you’re making your point. Additionally, teamwork and collaboration — the need for collaboration across cultures, across continents, across time zones is important — as well as creativity, organization and leadership, persuasiveness, adaptability and time management.
Also, emotional intelligence, which involves the science of awareness: how well you know yourself, your limitations, your strengths; the ability to pick up behavioral signs from others; awareness of your physical environment and the individuals with whom you interact with within that space. It’s not based on emotional stability, but rather the way you process information and react. Theorists say that folks who are inevitably the most successful have a higher degree of emotional intelligence than those who do not. I think this is incredibly important in terms of sustaining one’s career.
Another skill involves conflict resolution, which has always been a keen interest of mine. We’re so focused on leadership, and that’s fine. I think students should aspire to leadership roles, whether it’s as the captain of their sports team, the president of their student association, some sort of E-board or office appointment, or leading a class project. But if you can’t deal with conflict appropriately, it’s going to be a detriment to the team and to your career moving forward. It’s about focusing on the issues, understanding what you want the outcome to be, and doing it in a way that gets the person you are potentially in conflict with to go on the journey with you. You’re there to solve the problem together. And you get better at conflict resolution the more you practice it. Conflict resolution is an under-recognized skill in need of greater emphasis.
How are employers’ hiring practices evolving?
The No. 1 way that organizations are moving is internship first and then hiring from the internship. It used to be that hiring interns was simply about getting work done. Now hiring interns is about early engagement with the organization, assessing future talent and conversion to full-time employment upon graduation.
Employers are also increasing their use of technology, software solutions and artificial intelligence [AI] to increase applicant pools, screen candidates and educate students about career opportunities at their respective organizations. The most-used AI product now is called HireVue, a video-interviewing platform that uses text, audio and video chat to predict a candidate’s character. Through HireVue, candidates engage in an interactive video discussion with a machine-simulated person, and the interview is then sent to the company for screening. In addition to recording the content, the technology’s AI component reads the candidates’ body language and picks up on behavioral signals related to their skills, competencies, passions, traits and career interests. With this information, employers can choose the types of employees they want based on a cocktail of machine-learning algorithms and industrial psychology.
What are the keys to career longevity? Is staying on now frowned upon?
Job-hopping in the early stages of your career is not frowned upon as much as it used to be. I know that employers have lowered their expectation in terms of how long they’re going to keep people.
As far as career longevity, it’s simple: Keep your skills and your networks up to date.
