Hiring someone to work in a virtual job requires a lot of trust. You won't see the person every day and won't be able to supervise their work as closely as you could if they came into the office. You need to hire workers who will thrive in that kind of situation. Make sure you ask interview questions that will help you judge whether the candidate is a good fit for that kind of work.
Does the candidate have any experience in virtual work?
If they were previously successful in a virtual job, that's a positive sign that they'll be effective as a virtual worker for you. Ask what challenges they faced in their previous virtual role and how they overcame them. Also find out about their home work environment to make sure they have the tools needed to get the job done.
Does the candidate have the motivation to work on their own?
A virtual worker needs to be able to take the seed of an idea and run with it to completion. Ask about what motivates them to get a job done and for examples of projects they completed remotely. Find out how they expect to communicate with their manager and co-workers and what kind of recognition they want for a job well done.
Does the candidate have the discipline to work on their own?
Along with being able to motivate themselves, virtual workers need to discipline themselves to do the work. They need to track projects and deadlines. Ask them what they do to stay on top of schedules. Find out how they deal with issues that make meeting schedules challenging, such as technical problems—do they tackle solving them for themselves, or does their work stop until someone else resolves the problem?
Does the candidate have the ability to solve problems on their own?
How will the candidate solve problems without input from colleagues? When they need input from someone else, how do they get it?
Does the candidate have the technical skills for the job?
Last but definitely not least, don't forget about the technical skills needed to do the job. Because the worker won't be able to pick the technical brain of a colleague one cubicle over, it's even more important they are highly qualified in the technology.

Chile Moves to Ban Plastic Bags
President Michelle Bachelet of Chile said her government would introduce legislation to ban plastic bags in cities along the country's 4,000-mile (6,400km) coastline.
"We are going to present a bill that will ban the usage of plastic bags in coastal cities within the next 12 months," Bachelet said during a speech to the United Nations General Assembly. "It will allow citizens to contribute in terms of ocean protection. Thus, we will be the first American country to implement a law of this nature."
Chile's environment minister, Marcelo Mena, called such a ban "fundamental to protect the oceans and their biodiversity," according to a report in the Santiago Times.
"It also covers the issue of rubbish management, which we must deal with in the short term, because the consequences of not acting puts the preservation of these species at risk," he said.
Chile uses 3.4 billion plastic bags a year, and 97 percent of them end up in landfills or the ocean, according the environment ministry.
Bloomberg BNA reported that the country's plastics industry would try to persuade legislators to reject a ban in favor of greater recycling requirements.
"This is going to have a drastic effect on our business – we shall have to lay off workers," said Roberto Bessalle of plastic bag distributor Plásticos Bessalle, who noted that coastal cities comprise a third of the company's market.
Japan Mines Seabed for Minerals
Japan has undertaken the first large-scale mining operation of the seabed, extracting ore from the ocean floor off the coast of Okinawa.
The Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp (JOGMEC) in August lowered excavators to the seabed 5,200 feet (1,600m) below the surface to collect deposits that contained zinc, gold, copper and lead, according to the Japan Times.
Japan's Economy, Trade and Industry Ministry stated that it believes the zinc recovered is equivalent to the country's annual consumption of the mineral.
The area mined falls within Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone. The country currently imports most of the minerals it consumes. Seabed mining could allow Japan to "possibly become a resource-producing nation if abundant quantities of deposits were confirmed," the ministry stated.
The International Seabed Authority regulates the mining of the ocean floor outside national jurisdiction and is currently drafting environmental regulations to govern the extraction of minerals from the deep-sea habitats home to unique marine life.
Seattle Eliminates 2 Million Plastic Straws
The Lonely Whale Foundation's "Strawless in Seattle" campaign has resulted in the elimination of 2 million plastic straws in September, according to the organization founded by actor and environmental activist Adrian Grenier.
The city's airport, port, aquarium, restaurants and sports teams joined the effort to eliminate the use of plastic straws or replace them with biodegradable alternatives during the month of September in an effort to reduce plastic pollution in the ocean.
The Lonely Whale now plans to expand the campaign to other cities.

Modern pharmacy practice in BC uses a number of pharmacy database systems such as PharmaNet for tasks including data collection and patient record management.
These systems vastly improve efficiency and workflow within Pharmacies, allowing registrants to review patients' complete medication history and check for drug allergies and harmful drug interactions before dispensing medications. However, with access to patient information comes the responsibility to uphold legislative requirements and ethical obligations for patient privacy and confidentiality.
Standard 4 of the College's Code of Ethics outlines requirements for patient confidentiality.
In order to uphold both the legislative requirements and ethical obligations regarding patient privacy and confidentiality, it is vital that pharmacies practice proper system security when using PharmaNet or other pharmacy database systems. Registrants are ultimately responsible for all activity associated with their licence number, so it is important they ensure their network accounts are secure.
The PharmaNet Professional and Software Compliance Standards, Volume 5 provides standards for PharmaNet System Security with regards to:
In addition to these standards, registrants are advised to implement the following simple practices to reduce the likelihood of pharmacy system breaches and any associated consequences:
- Use a complex password and update it on a regular basis
- Log out of any system that uses your pharmacy licence when you are not using it.
- Report any activity under your licence number that was done without your consent
All health professionals regulated under the Health Professions Act have a professional, ethical and legal responsibility to report any unsafe practice or serious professional misconduct of any regulated health practitioner. If you see activity under your licence number that was done without your consent, you have a duty to report it.
Additional information and case studies on PharmaNet requirements can be found in the ReadLinks article Pharmacy Matters: PharmaNet Access.

Bill Gates is the ultimate role model, capable of inspiring millions of people through the power of his ideas and his personal dedication to his product and vision. But more than that, Gates is not a "one trick pony", making his billions and stamping his name on the history books, only to disappear into the luxurious life of the global elite. He has pushed past his first revolutionary vision, leaving it in capable hands, and has sought to change the world in another, even more important way.
Being a leader in today's modern world of business goes far beyond standing at the head of a company and making speeches about product launches and strategy. To inspire a workforce of thousands (Microsoft currently has over 97,800), a leader must show more than tell. Sending out memos from the highest offices of a company may eventually trickle down to affect change and inspire workers to innovate and invest creatively in the business, but seeing the most powerful man in the company (or the world) actively participating in the same effort is far more important. Bill Gates once famously confessed, "I never took a day off in my twenties. Not one." Although in the decades since, he admits that some of his fanaticism has shrunk, it is that sort of overwhelming dedication and work ethic that modern leaders need to display in order to inspire and lead an entire company of unique and creative individuals.

Jane Polkinghorne and Helen Hyatt-Johnston: Twilight Girls Go East!!! and Min Woo Bang: Sombre Reflections on Masters
7 April – 1 May 1999
The Twilight Girls Go East!!! is the latest collaborative project by artists Jane Polkinghorne and Helen Hyatt-Johnston. Both artists are featured in a series of photographs taking as their inspiration characters such as Bette Davis as Madame Sin and Shirley Maclaine as a geisha girl. By recreating images of Westerners dressing up as Asians, the Twilight Girls humourously and at times shockingly explore Western representations of the East in film.
Min Woo Bang, a South Korean born Sydney-based artist, presents a series of paintings based upon Western masterpieces by Caravaggio and Rembrandt. Instead of directly copying these images he paints himself into them as the main figure. This has the effect of undermining our assumptions that master paintings are Western.

There are 1,424 Registered Nurse Jobs posted on Indeed.com in NH, MA & ME as of today. Are you getting the caliber and volume of candidates you need to fill these crucial roles? If not, we would love to help. Please contact me @ 619 818 3811 or schedule a time to chat on my calendar @ https://careersparks.appointy.com.
As a Nurse Recruiter and business owner with 15 years of experience, I understand how challenging today's market can be. Turnover can quickly lead to short staffing, which creates a ripple effect throughout organizations who are striving to offer compassionate, high quality and cost-effective patient care.
While it may seem that most candidates are mainly seeking an increase in pay, our extensive research and experience in Nurse Recruiting tells a different story. According to a recent survey by The Conference Board, only 48 % of employees are happy in their current roles. Surprisingly, pay only ranked #3 on factors in employee satisfaction. The top indicators for job satisfaction were engagement i.e. feeling a connection between one's work and the overall goals of the organization, and respect i.e. appreciation and praise for a job well done.
When we screen potential candidates for our valued clients, we dig deep into an RN's reasons for wanting to change jobs (above and beyond a simple increase in pay). By doing so, we understand their motivations and can then share the positive culture, professional growth opportunities and other exciting features offered by our Hospital and Managed Care clients. Work/life balance, positive management and overall company engagement are truly the factors to long term job satisfaction and understanding this allows us to remind top candidates that "it's not just about the money" when it comes to joining your organization.

*Teachers in these environments know students well, have higher expectations for students, help to foster critical judgement in their students, and engage in a variety of strategies to motivate their students.
*students who are disengaged in classes, particularly at the secondary level, are at risk of truant behavior.

Death and taxesOctober 3, 2010 at 10:25 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment
Tags: home buying, nano, photos, pico, Seattle, video, youtube
Well, things have been pretty busy around here lately — as you may have inferred from my little hiatus from posting. Blake's mostly been busy with a work project, and I've mostly been busy with house related stuff. Uncharacteristically, he worked from home for all of last weekend as well as most of today (Sunday), but not to worry: there's absolutely no reason to suspect that this is developing into a norm.
I, on the other hand, have been slogging through a mire of paperwork and red tape and bureaucracy related to getting a home loan. There's no reason to worry about that, either — it's just that underwriters demand an inordinate amount of paperwork — W-2s, tax returns, a multitude of information about former employers, residences, bank statements, etc. — and all our paperwork is effectively inaccessible in our file cabinet because it's being stored, with the rest of our belongings, until we get the house. It doesn't sound like it would be that difficult to gather all that stuff anew, but we're fraught with special cases. For example, Blake's former employer never gave him a W-2 for 2009. And the company (since it was a startup) was run out of some guy's apartment and we don't know his address or if he's still there. And the company is out of business (maybe?) so there are no HR reps to verify Blake's old salary or to confirm that he worked there or anything. Also, his old laptop with his tax returns had a hard drive crash, so we have no way to get them. You can order a copy from the IRS — for $57 — and in just 60 short days you'll have your certified copy! (We hope to close by October 27 and the tax return is necessary to start the process of getting a home loan.)
But, the underwriters themselves order a copy and then compare your return to that copy (to make sure you're telling the truth), so us providing a certified copy won't work. (Since they'd be comparing two duplicate documents.) One might ask oneself why we have to bother providing a copy if they're going to get the real info from the government anyway. It's a mystery… But we have to get it. I've basically been tracking down these documents for 40 hours this past week, and boy is it a headache. A happy fun headache, because looming in the distance is our beautiful new home, but a headache nonetheless.
Amidst all the phone trees and being on hold and developing an intense hatred of Bank of America, I got some surprising news last week: a guy I knew from NI, Scott Savage, died suddenly in his sleep. He was younger than Blake is, played soccer and tennis regularly, and wasn't overweight. He was also a really nice guy, and it's terribly sad. I met him when I did my internship with NI in 2004, and then he went on to work there after he graduated (as I did). He was one of those guys who always had boundless energy and worked hard and always seemed on top of the world. I've gotten my news on his death through the grapevine, but so far as I know the cause of death isn't known. He was on a business trip in Germany, I'm told, and so information hasn't been as accessible as it would have been if he'd died in the states. Whatever happened, it's really tragic.
So as I was wading through the amorphous bureaucratic mess last week and feeling frustrated at, well, most of the involved organizations, the news of Scott's death really helped me to put things in perspective. Everything's going our way, we're happy, we're healthy, and we're just taking our first steps down the path to the traditional American dream: house, family, dogs, kids, etc. (But there are NO KIDS now or in the next nine months! Don't infer anything from that American-dream statement, folks!) We've really got nothing to complain about.
And while we're talking about happy things, here's something else to make you smile: as I'm typing this, Blake's playing fetch with Nano and Pico. Whenever Nano comes prancing back with the squeaky bone, we always have to pull it out of her mouth quickly so she won't get the idea that a tug-of-war with us is acceptable. (This is important in case she ever picks up something we don't want her to — either because it's ours or because it's dangerous for her.) Well, Blake just discovered that if you pick Nano up in the air, she drops the bone immediately! It's pretty cute, and I took a video:
(Her dropping the bone under normal conditions really isn't a problem. This is just a way cuter solution!)
House negotiations: final offerSeptember 9, 2010 at 2:24 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | 1 Comment
Tags: home buying, house, realtor, screenshot, Seattle
Yesterday we went back and forth with the bank (who is selling the house) with some offers and counteroffers. There were four volleys yesterday, and this afternoon we got their response. It's getting exciting, because the difference between our offer and their counter is less than 5K. So our realtor suggested we counter and say, "This is our final offer." Eep! I know it's a small difference in amounts now and if they decided to be jerks then we'd walk away, but it still makes me nervous to say that it's final. But I'm sure everything will be fine. And if not, then walking away is okay too. It just makes me nervous!
More information on the house offerSeptember 7, 2010 at 10:34 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment
Tags: home buying, house, laptop
I've had several people ask me about this, so I thought I'd just go ahead and make another post:
Yes, we submitted the offer today. The house is bank owned, and our realtor said that it would be surprising if we got a reply before Thursday. "Do you think there's a chance they'll accept our first offer?" I asked him, and he said almost certainly not. Even if we were to offer what they're asking (instead of something several thousand dollars less), apparently they virtually always come back with a bunch of addenda which all cost extra. Ah, well. If we're going to do a couple back-and-forth negotiations, I guess we could be looking at at least a week and maybe almost two before we know something solid.
In the meantime, although we have a pre-approval letter, we're going to compare our options and talk to some different lenders to make sure we're getting the best interest rate on the home loan.
We're also really hoping that our offer scares off the other potential buyers. If the house were owned by some random guy and the other potential buyers (PBs) were also interested in making an offer, we would likely get into a bidding war with the PBs. Since the house is bank owned, however, apparently they handle it differently. They don't want to waste time with a bidding war and instead will tell both PBs (us and them) to declare their "best and final" offer and then they'll take the highest one. No bidding, no back and forth — just one big number. And since it's a house we like a lot, that number would require lots of agonizing followed by lots of paying or lots of regret. (Or, if we're smart, lots of satisfaction in knowing that we bid exactly what the house was worth to us.) I'd just rather have it for less than what it's worth to us. =) Otherwise I guess it's more house shopping for me. But so far there's no sign of other buyers, so hopefully we won't even have to worry about that.
I'm not really sure why a bank owns the house. I don't think it was a foreclosure because that's usually specified in the MLS listing. Also, the house is in great shape and has new carpet, which I guess is uncommon in foreclosures. I'll ask our realtor if he knows when I get a chance.
That's all the house news for now. I dropped my laptop off at a licensed Lenovo repair place this afternoon, and they expect to give me a diagnosis and estimate on the de-coffee-ing tomorrow. Hopefully it costs less than a new laptop!

Closed Beta weekend coming up for Dirty Bomb this weekend and then, from what I've heard, it should be coming up for 24/7 closed beta "soon after" - it was a lot of fun in the last beta weekend, worth checking out if anyone was into Team Fortress style of FPS. I feel like it'll get swept under the carpet once Overwatch lands, but still!
You can sign up for beta on their website, but I'm not sure when their next wave of keys will be. Once it releases it'll be free to play, though! Nexon insist it won't be pay to win, and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt (against my better judgement) o_O

It'll be out to play for good on March 26th apparently. It's a pretty fun game. They did a lot of rebalancing since the beginning of beta though. The characters and gameplay is a much slower pace than it was prior to the most recent testing phases. I'd say overall it's now a more forgiving game than it was before.

Washington DC/Baltimore
Event Recaps
Mentoring Program
The WICT Washington DC/Baltimore Mentoring Program has been a great opportunity for both emerging and established professionals to assist in personal and professional development. The program matches individuals with senior level executives for a nine-month mentoring relationship to ensure powerful partnerships.
The 2013 Mentoring Program started off with a bang at a kick-off breakfast. The group checked in regularly with a midpoint event, monthly tips and StandOut assessments for both mentors and mentees so the pairs could get the most out of their time together. The program was a huge success and many wonderful relationships were created along the way. The group celebrated with a fun graduation ceremony, which marked the end of the program but hopefully just the start of continuing relationships!
For 2014, WICT welcomes back Shannon Cassidy, Founder & CEO of Bridge Between, to facilitate the opening event in April. New to the program this year is Dr. Donna Blancero, Associate Professor at Bentley University, who will facilitate the mentoring midpoint event in July. Here's to another great mentoring year!
Art of Networking
WICT members came together on March 11 for the Art of Networking 2014, where they had a great time learning from media executives how to sharpen their networking skills. The panel was moderated by Ardell Fleeson and panelists included top players in the industry who offered career advice and networking tips. Members picked up advice valuable to their networking goals such as:
- Send handwritten notes as opposed to emails when possible
- Do some research and find a common subject with people you are interested in meeting
- Have a plan when you first meet people
- Following up after the first meeting
The panel was then followed by some time for mingling where members were able to put their newly-learned skills to good use!
Letter from the President

In the News
Why It's Harder for Women to "Brag" at Work–and Why We Really Need To
"When [Professor Jessi] Smith and research assistant Megan Huntoon asked college-aged women at Montana State University to write two letters of recommendation for a scholarship — one on their own behalf and one for a friend — letters written for friends were judged as considerably better in quality than letters of self-recommendation. Why did these women have such a hard time writing on their own behalf? According to psychologists, engaging in a "norm violating" activity triggers anxiety, and ultimately, poorer outcomes. Even in 2014, fear of un-ladylike bragging stresses women out." Click the link above to read more.

The DTO has asked the owners of old vehicles to install HSRPs and the automobile dealers declared as special registering authority and concessionaire of HSRPs in order to speed up the process.
Official sources said tamper-proof HSRPs in vehicles help in tracing out vehicles, moreover it would help curb vehicle thefts.
The HSRPs have a non-replicable chromium hologram with a chakra image sticker having the engine and chassis number. The rear registration plate is fitted with a nonreusable snap lock.
The apex court had in 2012 asked several states and the Union Territories to ensure high security registration plates for all vehicles by June 15.
The apex court had said that installation of HSRPs is statutory command which is not only in the interest of the security of the state, but also serves a much larger public interest.
"Therefore, it is not only desirable, but mandatory, for every state to comply with the statutory provisions/orders of this court in terms of Article 129 of the Constitution of India, 1950," the apex court had said in its order.
The Supreme Court heard on a contempt plea (C) No.1787/2017 in WP(C) No.510/2005 alleging non-compliance of its order related to ensuring high-security registration plates for all vehicles on May 1 last. The apex court also had heard a contempt plea on August 8 last year.

(For the original Bum Review of this film, see here)
(The Disneycember logo is shown, before showing clips from Maleficent)
Doug (vo): I kind of rolled my eyes when I heard they were making a Maleficent movie. I mean, it just seems like a pointless thing to do. (Brief clips of the animated 1959 Sleeping Beauty) Maleficent is a great villain, one of the great villains; she's so charismatic and evil and loves every minute of it and is elegant and clever and diabolical. She's given just the right amount of screen time in the original Sleeping Beauty. (Back to the 2014 film) So the idea of learning more about her past didn't seem too bright, but at the same time, I was open to it, I guess. When the film finally came out, it became very obvious what they were trying to do. It's the Wicked formula again, trying to take a fairy tale we all thought we knew and tell it in a different way where the bad guy doesn't look so bad. When I figured that out, which you can very quickly in this film, I just sort of shrugged and said, "Whatever. Just give me some pleasing eye candy." It did, and I didn't think too much of it. But then later, when I really thought about it, it started to piss me off, like, really piss me off. I thought about what they were trying to do to one of the great villains, one of the great Disney icons, turning the Mistress of All Evil into a simple case of misunderstanding, turning three of the most likeable comic reliefs into these idiotic morons. Turning an iconic Disney fairy tale that has its flaws, but was still pretty damn creative, into every other poorly CG-ed stale story that comes out about fairy tales nowadays. You know what? This movie really sucks. A lot!
Doug (vo): We start off with the backstory of Maleficent as a little girl, who apparently had wings originally. Okay. This is because she was a fairy. All right, well, she looks kind of cool, so we'll go with it. She then meets a human boy, and they grow up, falling in love. But then he finds out when he's older that if he kills Maleficent, he'll be given unbelievable power. But he can't quite do that, because...he's too nice, I guess...so he decides to cut off her wings instead. She decides, from this day on, that she hates all humanity and is just gonna be evil. Years later, the King marries and eventually has a daughter, and you know how this goes. Maleficent comes to the party, curses the daughter, and says when she turns 16, she'll prick her finger on the spinning wheel and die. Once again, the fairies are called in to take her away and raise her, but...get a load of this. Maleficent always knows where the baby is, and, because the fairies are too stupid to raise a child, Maleficent actually kind of raises her herself, 'cause, you know, she's not so bad after all. Once the child grows up, she eventually bumps into Prince Charming, they fall in love, and all this time, Maleficent is not only watching, but actually getting on pretty good with her, because...yeah. This is what we want to see, one of the greatest villains of all time having girl talk, talking about feelings, chilling, laughing, having all sorts of fun. [Beat] What the fuck am I watching?! It finally gets to a point where Maleficent doesn't want the princess to die, so she knocks out the prince and tries to get them back together because, if she does fall in love and pricks her finger, maybe he can wake her up. And meanwhile, the King has gone crazy just...because...and he vows to set a trap for Maleficent. Yeah, kind of a shock he didn't do that before. So it's a battle between Maleficent, the hero, and the princess's father, the villain. Yeah, I can tell they really got the idea about what Disney's Sleeping Beauty was all about.
Doug (vo): I won't give away what happens in the end, but remember what they did in Frozen with the true love thing, and how they did a little bit of a twist on it? Yeah, they do that here, too, except...it was already done in Frozen, so it's not really a twist anymore. I guess there's one or two good things in this. Some of the visuals are a little neat, most of them are pretty standard and not rendered very well. Angelina Jolie is pretty cool as Maleficent. She's got that devilish smile and a cool look here or there, but while her acting's not really that bad, it's not really anything that great either.
[The film's villain, King Stefan, played by Sharlto Copley, is shown in several clips]
Doug (vo): The actor playing the King is awful. I mean, really bad. I guess he's supposed to be, like, this really complex character, but he just has sort of these weird mood swings and out of nowhere, goes nuts, and none of it's convincing and it all sounds so silly.
King Stefan: [To Aurora] I brought you back a day too soon. I told those three idiots! [To several guards] Lock her up in her room.
Doug (vo): Something about his voice, I can't explain it. I don't know if it's the inflections or the pitch or whatever, but he just annoys the crap out of me.
King Stefan: She's only sleeping FOREVER!
Doug (vo): And everything else, like I said, is trying to turn this story into something it isn't, which, okay. Wicked did something like that, Once Upon a Time did something like that, and they seem to work out okay. But that's part of the problem. They already did it. If you're going to do it now, you have to add something really new or really groundbreaking. Wicked had good writing and characters and music, outside of the fact that it was a twist on a story we already know. This is just so standard. And not only that, it takes characters that you already know and loved, and instead of making them charming in a new way, it just sucks out anything that made them unique.
[The movie's version of the three fairies are shown]
Doug (vo): The fairies? Good God! I mean, there's dumb, and then there's just insultingly dumb. It's almost like the writer of this movie just didn't like the person who created the fairies originally or something, and just really wanted to stick it to them. I mean, they are just so terribly written! I know this is done so that Maleficent looks more like the star, but, come on. This is downright degrading. And like I said, Maleficent herself is just not that interesting.
Final thought
Doug (vo): I guess this could be kind of a neat spin, seeing how we all know the story and, yeah, it is kind of juicy with her getting her wings chopped off and hating all humanity and stuff and trying to go through a change. But nobody is written with any charm or charisma. I give the actors credit that they're trying to add charm and charisma, but there's just so little to work off of. Nothing about it cries that somebody had this great idea and really wanted to tell this story in a brand new way that was gonna just change the way you look at everything. It's obviously just trying to do what everybody else is doing, and in the process, it insults some of our greatest Disney characters. The fairies were awesome. Don't try to make them stupid. Maleficent was great. Don't try and make her good. The Kings were charming. Don't try to make them this asshole!
[Stefan is shown briefly again to fit the "asshole" description]
Doug (vo): I don't know, if you want more reasons why I hate it, go watch the Honest Trailers of it. I guess if you're just looking for something that's kind of pretty, a touch creative, and reminds you a little bit of those classic fairy tales, then it's a harmless waste of time. But if you're looking for something that's gonna suck you in, and you can't wait [to see] what's gonna happen next, and it's very psychological and intriguing and, I don't know, anything not stale and hasn't been done a million times, then you can definitely give this one a pass.
[A scene showing Maleficent flying in the sky is shown]

What do you think of the recent violations due to publishing houses' carelessness and lax management?
Many people think the Department of Printing and Publishing approves books before they are published, but that is not so. About 30,000 books are published every year, and the department only has 30 employees. The responsibility for publishing books is thus assigned to directors or editors-in-chief at publishing houses.
When violations occur, the Department steps in. The department discovers, suspends and destroys hundreds of books each year.
Regarding this issue, we need capable publishing house directors. In reality, there are still directors who don't know the Law on Publishing very well.
The Ministry of Information and Communications recently issued a decree on publishing, which created a legal basis for discovering publishing violations. This has thus helped us discover many publishing violations, like the recent cases.
What is your opinion on co-ordination between publishing houses, printers and distributors?
I think the co-ordination between such parties is necessary in order to create diversity in the publishing industry. But it's also a challenging time for the industry. For some time, publishing houses have been selling their licenses to printers without examining the products. This can lead to violations. But again, the Department of Publishing and Printing needs co-operation from local authorities and other sectors to manage the publishing industry properly.
Again, we need to have competent people working in the publishing houses who know the law well and are devoted to their jobs. The Government also needs to support publishing houses financially.
What measures is the department going to implement to prevent these violations?
If more violations occur, we will have to fine every individual involved in the case. I would also suggest stricter supervision in the publishing industry.
We also have to establish competent publishing houses with leaders who can take responsibility for their operations.
Some people blame the violations on the fact that we allow co-ordination among publishing houses, printers and distributors. But I don't agree. Such co-ordination is necessary in the publishing and printing industry. What we have to do is allow the State to manage the co-ordination so parties cannot take advantage of it for illegal purposes. — VNS

Freshly back from the World Championships in the Scilly Islands. Our local Gig club had their annual regatta yesterday. Each year this seems to grow and yesterday I counted something like 12 gigs in attendance.
And it was almost the perfect activity for a start to the holiday. The comings and goings of the Gigs in amongst the holiday makers made for a fine spectacle.
Although not the sunniest day of the year, the afternoon brightened up and showed the brightly coloured Gigs off to perfection.
Meanwhile the services of Swanage Lifeboat remained uncalled for. Just as we like it!

A five-goal thriller was played out in Eamonn Deacy Park on Saturday evening as Kilkenny United refused to go down without a fight, with Galway WFC coming out on top as eventual 3-2 winners in the Só Hotels Women's National League.
Kilkenny were inches away from taking the lead in the opening minutes of this one when Lia Reilly stripped the ball from Tessa Mullins in the Galway box, after an excellent corner kick from Leah F Doyle. Reilly's shot should have hit the back of the net but the ball agonisingly hit the post and deflected away from the goalmouth.
For the rest of the half it was all Galway though and goalkeeper Lauren Davies was called into action several times to keep the visitors from conceding.
It took until the 40-minute mark for Galway to finally break the deadlock. A delivery from a corner for The Galway Girls took Kilkenny by surprise when Ailbhe Clancy played the ball to Doyle who was waiting outside the box, the midfielder smashed the ball goalward giving Davies no chance as the ball finally rattled the net for the home side.
Just three minutes into the second half, and Galway doubled their lead. Keara Cormican played a long ball through to Aoife Brennan and the forward turned excellently to keep control of the ball. The Kilkenny defence managed to dispossess Brennan but the ball was played straight to the onrushing Ailbhe Clancy who easily stroked the ball home with Davies caught out of position.
The away side were not going down without a fight and they clawed one back ten minutes later. Zara Lawless played a ball deep into the Galway box from a free-kick and some poor defending allowed Ann-Marie Byrne a great header on goal. Tara Long made sure the ball crossed the line with Ria McPhilbin caught off the line having gone to collect the ball from the free-kick.
With 63 minutes gone Kilkenny got an equalising goal. Zara Lawless took another free-kick from close to the half-way line. The away side rushed forward to get onto the ball but it seemed the bounce got the better of Ria McPhilbin as it somehow managed to nestle in the back of the net.
Galway fought right back to reclaim the lead and score the winning goal just three minutes later. Sadbh Doyle received the ball on the outskirts of the box and with her confidence up she went for another long-range effort, this one low and hard into the bottom corner of the net to claim the three points.
Galway WFC: Ria McPhilbin; Aoife Walsh (Sarah Baynes, 71), Ailbhe Clancy, Shauna Fox, Keara Cormican, Chloe Singleton, Sadhbh Doyle, Leah Brady (Kayla Brady, 71), Aoife Thompson, Aoife Brennan (Elle O'Flaherty, 80), Tessa Mullins.
Kilkenny United: Lauren Davies; Aoife Brophy, Zara Lawless, Ann-Marie Byrne, Nicole Plunket (Leah C Doyle 86), Naima Chemaou, Bronagh Kane (Kayla Cooling, 30), Leah F Doyle, Tara Long, Kerri Duffy, Lia Reilly.

Many thanks and praise to the progressive City Councilmembers who supported Dona Spring's anti-war resolution. They have understood that this is not an us vs. them scenario; that we are all brothers and sisters. They have, once again, made me proud to live in Berkeley.

The video for one of the more enjoyable songs off of Eminem's latest album Kamikaze titled Lucky You featuring Joyner Lucas. This must be said, Joyner Lucas didn't just make an appearance on this song, he was equally impressive as Em on this one. There's also a couple of jewels dropped on this one, listen for yourself and you be the judge.

After an encounter that seemed worrisome, servicemen were supposed to use a special kit that told them to wash everything down thoroughly with soap and water and then inject a tube of gunk up their fuselage and then massage the gunk in for several minutes.
Yikes... None of that sounds fun- not even massaging the gunk for several minutes.
Well there is a movie. It doesn't hold anything back and as such, I don't recommend following the link below:https://www.pond5.com/stock-footage/74967383/soldier-enters-united-states-army-prophylactic-station-and-u.html
Ships as they appear todayUSS UtahUSS Arizona
Possibly what struck me was the fact that they actually manufactured those misshapen sinks in order to catch the water and soap dripping when you straddled them- they did not look like add-on's.
On the day that I visited Pearl Harbor Trump was arriving, and they had to close early. I did get to see most of it- but I am really happy to have made it out to the Arizona. You are correct that it is a hell of an experience and leaves you in awe. It was an experience that I am unlikely to forget. Regrettably, I did not get to the Utah (I also don't think you were allowed to go out as the general public...) I did get to visit the Missouri, and I spent quite a lot of time wandering. That would be a completely foreign existence- and not one that I would likely volunteer for. My grandfather said the he joined the Luftwaffe because he didn't care for infantry with the up close fighting, and did not care for the thought of being at sea a thousand kilometers from anything with your only safety sinking from under you. I don't know if it was because he said that when I was young and impressionable, or if I would have reached that conclusion on my own- but I could not see myself in those bunks cut off from the world. I wonder what your fathers impression of his time on board was?
My visit to the Utah was pre-9/11 so a tour boat would just boogie on out right next to her. I'm sure that is long gone now!After High School my Dad spent a year and half in the Civil Conservation Corp (CCC) and caught a real tough break. He ended up in the Seney Wildlife Refuge way up in Northern Michigan reclaiming wetlands that had been drained decades before. So he had more than enough of working in mud and slop. There was no separate Air Force branch then in the US armed forces so I don't think there was any guarantee of ending up there. One of my Father's brothers was a crack shot and he ended up as a gunner on a B-24 (Perhaps he tangled with your Grandfather?), one ended up in the infantry and had an absolutely horrible time in Burma, one spent his time never leaving the country and guarded P.O.W.'s., and another who had worked for Packard ended up on some little atoll in the Pacific working on Packard engines. As an aside, my Mom was still in High School during the war and tells a story of Italian P.O.W.s being locked up not far away. So they would have a bunch of Italians hanging on a fence hooting and hollering at school girls. Not sure who thought that was a good idea.If you were to ask him, Dad would have said that overall his shipboard experience was not terrible. By pure chance the Cook on the destroyer that he served on for the longest time period was someone that he had played High School baseball against. So "Cookie" always had something a little special set aside for Dad. Seney Wildlife Refuge
It certainly was not extravagant but Destroyermen had a clean, dry place to sleep:
One of my Father's brothers was a crack shot and he ended up as a gunner on a B-24 (Perhaps he tangled with your Grandfather?),
My grandfathers brother was a tail gunner shot down over Germany and still listed as MIA. Given the planes that my other grandfather flew, I occasionally wonder if the possibility actually exists that he killed my great uncle? I also sometimes think that I should ask my mother what her parents thought of her dating a Kraut. I know they ended up friendly with the families- but they were never what I would deep close despite living only a block apart for 5 or 6 decades.Did your parents meet before your father shipped out?
That is what I mean... I could sleep in a coffin on dry land. But looking at that, and knowing that one collision with a mine (or a torpedo) would suddenly have the water rushing in? No thanks. I suppose everybody has their own life experiences (slogging through the mud when young) that shape their choices. Also everybody is allowed their own irrational (and, in my case, rational) fears that contribute to choices.
Page 21 finally finishes up the dissertation on The Development of the Torpedo with a discussion on how the Naval Bureau of Ordnance ended up taking over the the R&D and manufacture of the US Navy's torpedoes from private industry. It also finishes with a cool little doodad thingy that Dad added at the end. Page 21
I seem to recall you mentioning that the torpedo at the start of the war did not have a great record (accuracy?) He ends off with saying that they can hit a target at 10 miles. I'm guessing this means that they had an effective rage of 10 miles (though with reference to the gyroscope, it seems to infer that they could be accurate to 10 miles.)Do you have any info on how accurate they actually were at any given range? I assume, also that they evasive maneuvers would help to reduce the likelihood of hitting your target- but assuming the ship was making a bee-line would it be expected to score a "hit" at 5 miles?
We shall soon hit the first hand drawn mechanical drawing in Dad's notebook. So as a prelude, I'd thought I'd share some pictures of his drafting tools. They are stamped Friedmann and were made in Germany. I'd imagine that they cost him a pretty penny. They are beautifully made.
When I first starting working in the the mid 70s, I worked with guys late in their career who had similar high quality drafting sets. One of them graduated from a technical university in Prague in 1928, best draftsman I ever saw.

I've agreed to come out of bead hibernation this Fall and teach a couple of bead crochet workshops in the beautiful mill town of Fall River Mass. Nancy Valentine has a beautiful shop and one of the best spaces for workshops that I know of.
I haven't taught beginning bead crochet for a couple of years, but had my arm royally twisted to do so.
In addition to the basics, I'm doing an exclusive, experimental bead crochet workshop for a group of people who have taken my advanced workshops for several years now. This is a new technique, based on the flat caterpillar design that will allow one to have more canvas on one side for patterns.
I know it will work but have not had time to explore it fully. Together we will probably figure out what will not work and it will be an exercise in creativity.

Big B has dismissed the reports that he is teaming up with Rekha for Yash Raj Films' (YRF) next film which is untitled yet. He said the reports aren't true at all.
There were reports that Amitabh Bachchan is in talks to feature opposite Rekha in a film that will be directed by Aditya Chopra.
"No, I am not doing that (film). But if you know anybody there (at YRF), then suggest my name," Big B told reporters. He was spotted at the launch of Just Dial search engine here.
"I also read it (that I will be working with Rekha in YRF's next) but there is no truth to it," he said.
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha shared the screen spaces together in Silsila directed by Yash Chopra. The film is also starring Jaya Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor, and it came out in 1981 under the banner of Yash Raj Productions. Since then, the two haven't worked together.
Meanwhile, the producer-director Anees Bazmee tried in vain to bring together the hit pair of the 1970s and 1980s on the screen again through his movie 'Welcome Back'.
Bachchan and Rekha played opposite in movies like Do Anjaane , Namak Haraam, Khoon Pasina and Muqaddar Ka Sikander.
Big B is currently busy shooting for Bhootnath 2, a sequel to 2008 film Bhootnath. He will also appear in a special appearance in Sanjay Dutt Production's Hasmukh Pighal Gaya.

New Professional Voice – Melinda of Her Image : an empowerment, educational, and networking organization founded by black women. The purpose of this episode is to ask black business owners if they feel supported by their community and understand what WE can do as consumers to make the word "support" actually mean SUPPORT. But guess what, it isn't as simple as purchasing goods or services. Soo….You'd have to listen as Melinda gives you all the details. You'll find that support is a two way street … Be sure to reference to the show's notes at TheSatinBonnet.com/HerImageNetworking and to also visit Herimage.org.
Do Black Businesses feel supported?
Her Image does! BUT the trio of organization leaders (Dee, Michelle, and Melinda) didn't get that support by just sitting pretty and black. We'll get to that later… However, according to Melinda, whose been an entrepreneur for six years and counting, the rest of the black business community lacks this support and I personally agree. But why aren't BOBs supported? Well, here's a couple of reasons from the episode :
… We ALL as black people play a very important role in that. We, as business owners, are the reason why we don't get support and we, as people, are the reason why black business owners don't get support….
- In the midst of gaining equality, we're still different. Black businesses are being bashed because of racial stereotypes and not just from the people on the outside, but form one another due to internalized racism. "As black consumers, we weren't really shown that we can be professional, that we can be respected, that we can be business owners…." This is so true! The internalized racism is so real, we don't even look at ourselves with respect… Yet alone as individuals with the capacity of running a business that you can trust with your time and money.
- Entrepreneurs play a role as well. Because the financial odds aren't in our favor like non-POC, we can unintentionally start businesses that "aren't ready". Of course that leads to an overall quality that doesn't match our competitors with the privileged of building generational wealth across the Euro-American demographic.

But how can the overall support improve?
Melinda offered many powerful words and advice. Here's some from the show, plus a little:
- Decolonize your mind! Recognize the interalized racism that's keeping you in the belief that black people cannot be professionals.
- Being a part of a team. Network.. Network… Network! If you need more advice on networking specifically contact Her Image.
- Social Media – Don't just post. Interact!

In a family-friendly and festive atmosphere, some 50 artists decorated alley walls in the Rosemont area, livening up the neighbourhood. Carmel joined the celebration of sharing and creativity by giving the artists the chance to try some of the company's specialized marking products.
Carmel paint crayons and paint markers are ideal for leaving permanent markings on damaged or eroded surfaces such as cement walls or metal surfaces. The artists enthusiastically got to work experimenting with the new mediums, creating a glorious explosion of colours and shapes.

Traversing through Bali you come across cuisine from across Indonesia. If you are in tranquil Ubud help the foodie in you to choose the best locations for an enjoyable and memorable culinary journey
This is probably one of the finest coffee shops in Ubud; a town which is Bali's central point for Balinese arts, culture and holistic environs. And certainly enjoying a cup of coffee while in the beautiful folds of verdant Ubud is an activity you will be hankering for. At Seniman Coffee Studio the beans are first graded and then roasted in-house; assuring you of the best quality. The place boasts the smoothest brews in Ubud and exudes a laid back ambiance, inducing customers to sit back relax and enjoy the free WIFI. It is a place to go to for a relaxing time and happy chat with friends or family.
This is a restaurant in Bali that promises you a marvellous culinary journey. The Plantation Restaurant located within the Alila Ubud Bali was awarded the Bali 2014 and 2015 NOW awards for best Balinese Restaurant. The resorts signature cocktails are certainly a great start to your culinary journey. The fine Balinese and western fare dished out at this eatery use fresh ingredients right out of the resorts organic garden. If you want to savour the best Balinese dishes this is the place to go; what's more the resort perched high in the mountains of Ubud offers you stunning views across the area from its open plan restaurant complete with a traditional alang-alang roof.
Casa Luna has an extensive menu that focuses on Balinese dishes. There are also freshly baked cakes for sampling while the eatery follows strict western standards within its quarters. If you are a dessert fan do try the lime tart, filled with lime curd on a base that is the perfect balance of crumbly flavour. Elevated views of the surroundings are on offer if you choose to sit towards the back of the restaurant while coffee too is tipped to be quite good at Casa Luna.
Bar Luna offers café style dining and international dishes. The place mixes dining and entertainment by hosting a range of cultural and artsy events. These include open mic nights, film screenings and literary panels. The baristas are renowned for their local Five Senses coffee mixes while the in-house cocktails are tipped to be quite innovative.
If you are in sync with Ubud's holistic atmosphere the Bali Buda offering 'healthy meals' is an excellent choice. There the atmosphere is laid back and relaxed while the food is made out of organic, chemical free ingredients that are sourced fresh on a daily basis.
The menu at the Hujan Locale consists of Pan-Asian specialities. There is much emphasis on using only the freshest ingredients in preparation of the restaurants delightful meals. The place is a breezy rather relaxing establishment with sister restaurants in Jakarta, Sarong and Mamasa.

Who would have thought that a practically unheard of band with a shitty name from the rock 'n' roll wasteland of Newcastle, U.K., would produce the ironic generation's answer to the Modern Lovers and the Violent Femmes? Off-kilter, socially satirical folk-punk has a history that goes as far back as Jonathan Richman's first trip to New York, and Les Cox (Sportifs) have tapped into the ethos with enough wit, weirdness and spite to create a work that may very well stand up there with the giants of the genre.
Although this breed of punk is more timeless than others -- as long as there are outsider weirdos, Jonathan Richman will still be a hero -- each generation has seen its own personal slant. The Modern Lovers mocked the '70s, coke-sniffing triumphs and bureaucratic stooges, and the Violent Femmes personified the '80s indie kid who got picked on and couldn't get just one fuck. The closest equivalent for the '90s were the Presidents of the Unites States of America, who were self-conscious of their history and poked fun at rock greats in addition to rock fans.
Les Cox (Sportifs), however, are a band burned out from that irony, a band that realizes that hipsters have strayed too far into their own bullshit, and that indie bands are now leaving us cold. It would be easy to write a blatantly anti-hipster album. The genius of Neverheed, a ballsy album name to say the least, is that it uses the tools of hipsterism -- passive aggression, irony, innuendo -- to throw that movement under a bus.
There's a fair amount of bullshit to be found on the album, with a lyrics sheet that is suggestive at best and stream-of-consciousness musings that are thrown in out of nowhere. But all the bullshit here is weaponized, be it "Dresden," a confusion of a political song and love song that is best represented by the chorus, "If bombs were love/ Then you can call me Dresden." There's also the sexual ambiguity of "Les Cox Special": Are they beating off, seducing a woman, or abusing a woman? "Permanent Marker" begs for a time when things actually mattered, but it uses intelligence and subtext to avoid rock nostalgia.
The folksy, simplistic sound masks just how incendiary an album Neverheed is. The album is like a dirty bomb hidden in a PBR can. That said, there's enough good cheer to let some people overlook its hidden meaning. Don't be one of those people.

The transcript of the original Register has been used with permission from the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, from Scarva Street Presbyterian Church, Banbridge, and from Banbridge Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church.
The marriage register of Banbridge Presbyterian Church runs from 1756 to 1794 and was kept during the ministries of the Rev Henry Jackson (said to be a relative of General Jackson, President of the United States), 1743-90, and the Rev Nathaniel Shaw, 1790-1812.
The congregation split in 1828 when the Rev Davis, the minister at the time, and some of his congregation, who adhered to New Light principles, decided to leave the General Synod of Ulster and join the Remonstrant Synod of Ulster (later to become the Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church of Ireland). Those who remained with the General Synod of Ulster joined the new church being erected in Scarva Street. The marriage register, however, remained in the possession of the Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church in Banbridge.
It was published in The Journal of the proceedings of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Vol. XXXIX 1st Quarter, March 1909, by Edward Linn and with a Foreword by the Rev W T Lattimer.
Most of the 306 entries in the register are described as 'Purposes of Marriage' which were really proclamations of banns which were never popular with Presbyterians. Almost all who were proclaimed were soon afterwards married so in effect the book is a register of marriages that took place. Occasionally, the date of marriage is also recorded, possibly because the minister omitted to enter the 'Purpose' or proclamation of banns or perhaps that the proclamation took place on the same day as the marriage. Some entries are described as 'Marriages without proclamation'.
The spelling of surnames in the register is somewhat odd. Mahallan is probably Mulholland; McCabbin may be McKibbin and McGumery is likely to be Montgomery. All the names recorded are of Scottish, Irish or English origin except for Junnaux (Juneau) which is of Huguenot origin.

Cables for Antennas
Antennas' connections' gender isn't as you'll expect, because of these elements:
- Sex of threaded connections is talking about the pins inside-not the threads.
- This applies to all of the after: N, RP-SMA, RP-TNC, SMA, TNC
- The pins are feminine once they look like male, and vice versa.
- If the paperwork is the connector as "reverse ____":
- This is actually the same as RP-____ (e.g, "reverse SMA" = RP-SMA)
- Reverse Polarity/Reverse Gender connections meet FCC Regulation 15 by switching dielectrics and pins/contacts between genders.
- For example, a Reverse Gender Male consists of a male body, but the dielectric and contact are female.
- Fundamentally, an RP feminine can look like a standard male, and an RP male can look like a typical female. Reverse Polarity connectors and adapters won't mate with standard coaxial connectors. To try to achieve this will damage the connector.
- Our cables with RP-SMA feminine have actually a bulkhead (nut and washer). They will certainly will move across an outside wall surface covered in sheet steel and can seal out weather and endure severe conditions.
BNC and TNC: BNC or Bayonet Neill-Concelman connector is a locking connector. These connectors twist and lock onto the installing post unlike a great many other connections that press or thread about it. Such connectors are employed in circumstances in which fast disconnect abilities are needed.
TNC or Threaded Neill-Concelman version utilizes threads rather than the fasten.
MCX: They are smaller in diameter by 30 % compared to SMA coaxial connectors. These types of a size enables further miniaturization of equipment regarding the WiFi network. They're designed to press squeeze into the post in the router. They truly are mainly utilized with antenna cabling of smaller diameters.
