If you looking for an internship or full-time entry-level job, you will find many opportunities within government agencies. A public sector career can feel different from a career in the private sector. To sort out the differences and help you understand whether to pursue a government job, we asked Jamey McNamara, the Deputy Chief Human Capital Officer at U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). McNamara draws his advice here from years of experience developing employees and leaders, in recruitment and retention, performance management, compensation and benefits, and labor relations. (more…)
The mission of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation. If you are interested a government internship, especially related to economics, investing or the stock market, consider the SEC. We heard from Temeka Thompson, the Recruitment Outreach Program Manager at SEC. She shared about how they hire and utilize interns.
Sometimes interns are seen as performing grunt work only. What's the attitude at Securities and Exchange about interns?
Temeka Thompson: Interns are considered valued contributors and perform a wide array of duties and responsibilities while on their internship. Legal students conduct research/fact finding, prepare briefs and memorandums for high profile cases. Business students can find themselves leading marketing campaigns, auditing and investigating programs for effectiveness. Our managers who utilize student programs believe this is an excellent opportunity to fill entry level mission needs with fresh, energetic talent, whom they highly enjoy collaborating alongside.
How do you identify the stronger candidates? What are the metrics you might use?
TT: In addition to reviewing the completed application, the resume with any financial services or legal experience is key. One of the oldest; yet tried and true methods of identifying great interns is face to face interviewing or even now, virtual interviewing. Applicants who have the ability to address behavioral questions, have a history of taking the initiative and eagerness to learn and contribute are the interns that typically succeed and are in a better position to compete for full-time positions upon graduation.
How do you convert strong interns into full-time employees?
TT: The process is organic. Internships are working interviews and the interns who exhibit the ability to produce, takes pride in their work products and the mission of the SEC and perform really well are in a better position to compete for full-time opportunities. 3Ls/Judicial Law Clerks (current & pending)/Legal Fellows can apply to our Chairs Attorney Honors program (a highly competitive and prestigious entry level attorney hiring program) and our Business Students have the opportunity to apply to any Pathways or full-time opportunity that best fits their skill sets.

Companies of all sizes frequently hire interns, but the approach to thinking about these interns is usually a little bit misguided. Because interns often represent either entirely free or very cheap (relative to full-time hires) labor, they can become factories of busy work — essentially doing work that others (i.e. full-time employees) either don't have the time for or, in all honesty, don't want to do.
While there's some logic in assigning the pointless busy work to the cheapest labor source, it's also a bad strategic play both in the short-term and long-term. Here are two major reasons why.
"Busy" vs. "productive." Admittedly, there are many professionals — way above the intern level — who don't completely understand this designation. And admittedly, not all work at a job can be productive. There is always logistically-driven, spreadsheet-updating, "busy" or "shallow" work to be done. But you need to think about the psychology of the intern experience, as opposed to simply the cost model. In many cases, this is an intern's first experience with office work — or among their first. If all they do is busy work, they certainly won't feel very motivated by your company or that specific department. (More on why this is a problem in the next section.) While we wouldn't necessarily condone giving interns access to proprietary information or letting them set high-level strategy, they can attend some larger scope meetings to learn about how the different pieces of your organization and business model work together. Yes, they might get coffee for people or archive documents digitally from years ago. That's fine. But there needs to be a mix of straight busy work and some productive work, including opportunities to learn about how the company works, how it generates revenue, and what the different roles do in support of that.
The value of internal recruitment: Let's assume we are discussing summer interns for the time being, as that's a fairly common intern time frame and model. A college summer intern who performs well could become a full-time hire when he/she finishes college. Research has shown internal recruitment (i.e. promotions) to be valuable, and the same methodology works for intern conversion. Organizations are usually set up in specific, clearly-defined ways around process and reporting. An intern who was given a summer of busy work + productive meeting attendance already understands those processes and reporting structures. When he/she enters the company, it's much closer to a "hit the ground running" situation than recruiting someone from a different college who never interned with you. That latter hire may end up being a superstar, yes, but in the first few months, they will be much less productive than a converted intern. Also remember this about the value of interns: because they have less work experience, they haven't been exposed to numerous approaches to work. You can more easily ground them in your culture, roles, and expectations than you can with even a mid-career professional you poached from a competitor.
Additionally, college recruitment should regularly be part of a company's diversity recruitment strategy — precisely because the organization can start a diverse pipeline to upper management. Diversifying the workplace, which is a common goal of most orgs, begins with diversifying the intern pool and then converting those interns into FT employees.
One of the clearest paths to intern conversion is two-fold:
On Thursday, December 8th at Union Station in DC, we'll be hosting a College Recruiter Bootcamp Conference. At 1:15pm, Susan LaMotte (the CEO of exaqueo) will lead a panel on marketing your company to Gen Y and Gen Z (the next generations to enter the workplace, behind the millennials). After the topical presentation, Susan will moderate a discussion on the same topic including:
The registration cost is $98 per person and includes all seminars/panels (you can see the other ones at the top link), continental breakfast, Union Station tour, and lunch.
In fact, the Dec. 8th event will be at the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) offices in Union Station. They have a great intern conversion ratio, so we reached out to them for ideas around it and to get a sneak peek at what you might learn on Dec. 8. They told us:
"The process is more organic. Internships are working interviews and the interns who exhibit the ability to produce, takes pride in their work products and the mission of the SEC and perform really well are in a better position to compete for full-time opportunities. 3Ls/Judicial Law Clerks (current & pending)/Legal Fellows can apply to our Chairs Attorney Honors program (a highly competitive and prestigious entry level attorney hiring program) and our Business Students have the opportunity to apply to any Pathways or full-time opportunity that best fits their skill sets."
"Working interviews" is a great attitude.
We'd love to see you on December 8th in the SEC's home. There are also panels on ROI and metrics around the recruiting space, so by attending both, you can have a more holistic picture of intern conversion and its benefits. Register today at www.exaqueoevents.com/register

Let's be blunt here: a bad, or poorly-contextualized, hiring process can cost you lots of money and time. As a result, internal recruitment (essentially promotion from within or adjustment of roles) has gained some favor in recent years.
One of the best ways to approach internal recruitment is how you handle interns. An organization's approach to interns typically resides somewhere between these two extremes: (more…)
Now that August is history, most seem to be turning their attention to the remainder of the calendar year. An event that I think you'll want to mark onto your calendar is our 10th College Recruiting Bootcamp.
College Recruiter believes that every student and recent graduate deserves a great career. In partnership with our friends at exaqueo, we're co-hosting the College Recruiting Bootcamp on Thursday, December 8th at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission office, which is connected to Amtrak's Union Station.
Two of my favorite people in the world of talent acquisition are Kara Yarnot and Moe Hutt of Meritage Talent Solutions. Together they have over 30 years of talent acquisition project and program management experience.
I first became acquainted with the dynamic duo back when they were leading the talent acquisition efforts for the massive, federal government contractor, SAIC. A few years ago they apparently decided that they could no longer fight the entrepreneurial bug and so set off on their own to create Meritage Talent Solutions. One of the first things that organization did was create the TalentBlend conference. Unlike other HR conferences which are either quite general or really just targeted to senior talent acquisition leaders, TalentBlend is targeted to an underserved group of very important people: program managers. These people build, optimize, and innovate talent acquisition programs, systems, tools and practices. (more…)
College Recruiter has two primary types of users: candidates who are searching for great careers and the employers who recruit them. One way that we give back to the recruiting community is by regularly sharing our knowledge and trying our best to advance the conversations through our blog, videos, and social media. Another way is through conferences such as the dozen or so College Recruiting Bootcamp events we've organized to-date.
A third way that give back to the recruiting community is through our active participation in conferences organized by partners. This weekend, for example, chief executive officer Faith Rothberg will moderate a panel at TAtech (the Association for Talent Acquisition Solutions) in Orlando about how job boards can and should prevent fraud including bogus jobs which are posted for a number of reasons, one of which is identity theft. On Monday, I'll deliver a presentation at SHRM Talent Management in Orlando about how talent acquisition leaders can use metrics to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their departments but also to get that "seat at the table" that so many crave but haven't been able to attain because the information they share with their C-level leaders has been tactical and not strategic. About a week later I'll be in D.C. for TalentBlend 2016. College Recruiter is a sponsor and I'm moderating a panel discussion with Alton Fox of Lockheed Martin and Temeka Thompson of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission during which we'll talk about how leading organizations recruit students and recent graduates through off-campus channels including interactive recruitment media such as College Recruiter.
Pretty much all of the above has a U.S. focus but we're well aware that there's a big, beautiful world outside of our borders. Indeed, most of our Fortune 1,000 and even federal government clients have hiring needs around the world and we're increasingly being called upon to help them with those needs. Today, for example, we're working on a proposal for a federal government agency that has significant hiring needs for people who are U.S. citizens, live or are willing to live abroad, have college degrees, and speak both English and Spanish. These multinational projects are challenging yet a lot of fun and have led us to engage with organizations in other countries whose missions include helping students and recent graduates find great careers. An example is Gradcore, a U.K.-based organization run by my friend, Martin Edmondson. I delivered the keynote presentation at their annual conference a couple of years ago and in May we are sponsoring and helping to organize their GEC Europe conference. (more…)

Zoe and Chloe are popular. Penelope is the hot name of the moment. Are there other names from Greek myth that could follow the same trend?
Oodles, actually.
But they don't all wear equally well. You could name your daughter Terpsichore, but it might not be the easiest choice. Mnemosyne feels like a total non-starter.
Others fall somewhere in between. They're less user-friendly than the short and sweet Zoe, but remain attractive, approachable – the kind of rarities that parents are looking for in 2013.
Of course, some of these are in use in modern Greece, though the spellings tend to be different: Antigoni and Kalliopi.
To make this list, the name had to be Greek in origin, and end with the letter e and the ee sound. Surely I've missed some – or overestimated how easy it would be to answer to Aphrodite.
Anemone – A floral name, and a gentle punch line in Finding Nemo.
Antigone – In myth, the idealistic, rebellious Antigone met with a sorry fate. But her name has an appealing weight to it, somewhere between Penelope and Alexandra.
Aphrodite – This one might be too much to live up to, but then there's Venus Williams.
Arachne – Before there were spiders, there was a weaver, a woman of such extraordinary skill that she bested the goddess Athena in a contest. Her prize? Lending her name to the crafty spider forevermore.
Ariadne – Here's a name ready to catch fire. Ellen Page played an Ariadne in Inception. In Greek myth, she's the clever girl who helps Theseus defeat the Minotaur. Plus, Ariana and Arianna come from this name, and they've become Top 100 staples. So why not Ariadne? It's hard to say … but it means that she's a fresh alternative to Penelope, familiar but underused.
Calanthe – An orchid, sometimes elaborated as Calanthia. I suspect most people would misread this as kah LANTH, omitting the final ee sound. Still, she'd shorten nicely to Callie.
Callidice – Another non-intuitive pronunciation, and another name that shortens to Callie. kah LID eh see sounds clinical to my ear. I was thinking of the Italian pronunciation of Eurydice when I first encountered Callidice, which would give her a very different sound: kahl eh DEE chee, maybe?
Calliope – The first Callie name that could easily work in English. Calliope is one of the muses, charged with epic poetry. Her name was borrowed by the inventor of a steam-powered musical instrument, popular with circuses and river boats. That might have been a negative in years past – they're terribly loud – but now it sounds nostalgic, and a little bit like a sister for Harmony.
Callisthene – The last of the Callie names, she shares her roots with our word calisthenics – beauty + strength. Masculine name Callisthenes was definitely in use by the ancients. There's also a fourth century Saint Callisthene, a well-born woman who gave all of her wealth to the poor.
Circe – An enchantress who tangled with Odysseus on his travels, Circe might be too femme fatale for a modern girl. Or not, in our age of Lola and Delilah.
Cleophee – I've only heard this name used in French, where she's Cléophée. But she slips into the list thanks to her Greek roots.
Cybele – She looks like another variant of Sybil, but she's pronounced SIB eh lee. She's an Anatolian fertility goddess imported to ancient Greece.
Danaë – The American Danaes that I've met – all two of them – have pronounced their name da NAY, almost an alternative to the once so popular Danielle. But strictly speaking, she's dan AH ee, cast off to sea in a wooden chest with her infant son Perseus. Perseus' pop was none other than Zeus, and mother and babe were set adrift in an attempt to thwart a prophecy.
Daphne – A nymph pursued by Apollo, the gods turned her into a laurel tree to avoid his advances. It's a name with considerable history in recent centuries, and one of the most wearable on this list. Daphne ranked #450 in 2011.
Dianthe – Diana is a Roman goddess and a royal icon, too. Dianthe is far more obscure, pronounced di AN thee.
Eirene – You know her as Irene, but this is the original version of the goddess of peace's name, complete with an extra ee sound at the end.
Elene – I'm use to seeing this one spelled Eleni, but the Greek version of Helen makes this list only when spelled Elene.
Elete – The bad news: it would look as if you'd gone all braggish and named your child Elite, which is either a sibling name for Treasure or a stage name for a future gentleman's club headliner. The real story: Elete is one of the Hours, the goddesses of seasons and times. Elete was charged with one of the times of day – prayer, immediately following lunch and before the afternoon's work begins.
Evadne – One of the most wearable on this list, a formal name for Evie, and at least four separate figures in myth.
Hecate – She's associated with witchcraft in 2013, but Hecate was probably a foreign goddess imported to the Greek pantheon – and a gentler figure, not a sinister one. Today this choice might be seen as controversial – or maybe just plain obscure.
Hermione – The Harry Potter heroine has yet to inspire many namesakes, but she has a history of use, and could wear well in our Penelope era.
Ianthe – Like Dianthe without the D, Ianthe was worn by an ocean nymph. It comes from the Greek for violet flower – ion plus anthos.
Ione – 1980s actress Ione Skye is forever remembered as the love interest in Say Anything … but her name never caught on.
Ismene – She sounds a little bit like a slurring of the phrase "is many." There's more than one mythological Ismene, but the one that probably comes to mind for most is the daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta, sister to Antigone.
Nike – The goddess of victory could be a great name for a girl, an alternative to Nicole – if not for the sneaker. Don't do it!
Persephone – The obvious alternative to Penelope. The whole goddess of the underworld gig is the tiniest bit goth, but her sound is stunning.
Phoebe – Along with Daphne and Penelope, another choice modern parents have embraced. We all know the name thanks to Friends and Charmed and Phoebe Cates. She's clearly among the heirs of Zoe and Chloe.
Thisbe – Before there was Romeo and Juliet, there was Pyramus and Thisbe.
Xanthe – With our affection for zippy z names, Xanthe – or maybe Zanthe – feels like a natural. She's among the names from Greek myth worn by more than one figure.

Monroe County could boost military monument's restoration
Associated Press
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – A southern Indiana county could soon be kicking in some money toward restoring a 35-foot-tall limestone military memorial on the courthouse grounds.
The memorial built in 1928 outside the Monroe County Courthouse in downtown Bloomington has become badly pitted and worn away.
County veterans' service officer Mary Elftman tells The Herald-Times that fundraising has stalled, with about $10,000 donated toward the estimated $208,000 restoration project. Elftman says it is fabulous that the county commissioners plan including the restoration in a $5 million bond issue for several projects.
The monument is named for Civil War Capt. William M. Alexander of Bloomington but has an inscription that reads "To the soldiers of all wars." It has four panels commemorating the Civil War, Spanish-American War, World War I and the Mexican War.

A 2020 faceoff
D.C. is not where the action is
Not too close to call anymore.
We don't have no schtinking problem.
Many governors are very popular
Not in Toto's Kansas anymore.
Here's your response. Welcome to the party, pals
Showdown time
"it doesn't look like everything's under control. It looks like the city's on fire."
Running on empty
Will rule for food
Say what now?
Pants on fire
And the liberals are loving it
Sour grapes
Safe travels, Governor
Party pooper
It's the perfect time
Finally… I was afraid we'd run out of candidates
Deporting immigrants is inhumane
Winner winner chicken dinner
Dark horse or darkest horse?
I suppose I should too
"I don't think that's deniable."
Turn 'em all into tax raisers

Undiscovered Valuable Products of Europe
Moldova is a small, but unique and charming country that produces rare merchandise less known on the global industrial market. Few people know that Moldova is part of the Old Continent and many people don't even know it exists.
Moldova is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, located between Romania to the west and Ukraine to the north, east and south. The country is shaped like a bunch of grapes, which is no coincidence: it has the highest percentage of land dedicated to vineyards in the world.
Over centuries Moldova has developed a rich tradition in wine making. Combined with the vineyards that surround the special tourist route, "The Wine Road of the Republic of Moldova", the wineries stand for an important attraction for the tourists, businessmen and specialists in wine-making in Moldova.
For many years viticulture and winemaking were the general occupation of the population. Evidence of this is present in historical memorials and documents, folklore, and the Moldovan's spoken language. Nowadays, the country has a well established wine industry.
Moldova has so many wineries and they are absolutely amazing. Purcari was the first winery in Moldova, it was stablished in 1827. The iconic Negru de Purcari is locally called the 'Queen of England' wine, as the royals order at times, as did former international royalty.
Moreover, "Golden Collection" Milestii Mici, with over 1.5 million bottles, was registered in the Guinness World Records for being the biggest wine collection in the world. The cellar stretches for 150 miles of which "only" 35 miles are currently in use and it is the largest wine cellar in the world.
Moldovan people are so proud of their wine and it's what makes this country truly special! Every year, traditionally in the first weekend of October, the National Wine Day is celebrated. Most remarkable wine producers welcome thousands of guests and surprise them with the incredible variety and quality of their wines. In addition, traditional dishes, music, dances, handcraft workshops make this weekend truly memorable.
Another pearl of Moldova is Cricova cellar. It also represents an underground city, and is the second largest wine cellar in the world The massive labyrinth holds the impressive wine collections of celebrities and major political figures. Cricova is the first winery in Moldova that produces sparkling wine according to the French classic method -"Méthode Champenoise", discovered by the reputable monk Dom Pierre Perignon.
If we are talking about an extraordinary sparkling wine, then it is necessary to talk about an equally extraordinary aperitif - black caviar, dubbed the black gold of the world gastronomy. With dated traditions in Russia, the secret of getting the perfect caviar was also taken over by the Moldovan company, Aquatir, a large sturgeon farm that is located in the Black Sea region, the waters in which these rare and valuable fish historically harboured.
Aquatir applies the latest developments and technologies in the field of sturgeon breeding. It meets the highest international standards in caviar production which provides an eco-friendly high quality product that aims to impress and stimulate one's senses.
With so many wonders into such a small country, Moldova will surprise and intrigue you at every turn, leaving you with unforgettable and unique experiences.

The name Walter Ruttmann recalls enthralling and often controversial contexts. A leading figure of the interwar avant-garde, Ruttmann enriched the language of the cinema through numerous innovations in film form. His pioneering work in abstract animation paved the way for artists such as Oskar Fischinger and Len Lye, and his celebrated montage film Berlin. Die Sinfonie der Großstadt (Berlin: Symphony of a Great City, 1927) is still seen as the quintessential documentary of urban life in the 1920s. But Ruttmann also made numerous propaganda films after 1933, even working alongside Leni Riefenstahl for Triumph des Willens(1935). The first monograph on Ruttmann in English, Cowan's study presents an entire aspect of Ruttmann's work, while also rethinking his significance in light of current transformations in film studies.1 aCowan, Michael uhttp://www.arthemis-cinema.ca/fr/biblio/walter-ruttmann-and-cinema-multiplicity-avant-garde-%E2%80%93-advertising-%E2%80%93-modernity

I don't understand….I just heard on the radio that California has re-voted to outlaw gay marriages. Now, I don't care it you are black, white or purple, who you worship or who you love….why should anyone else tell someone they can or cannot get married? What that hell is that about? Who decreed you could only commit to someone if you were straight? No, I'm not gay. I'm a committed single – we're whole other group of troublesome 'non conformists' who actually don't want to get married…we're the worst as we are really letting the side down. So if you can tell me why this 'law' makes sense – then please do.
Okay - I am off out west this weekend. So, never one to leave you blogless, author and good mate Regina Carlysle has a new release just out from Ellora's Cave. Now I know you are going to want to buy this one.Why? Other than I am amazingly correct? It's hot and it's all about two men pleasuring one women…need I say more? Click here on the cover to buy.
Spanish Topaz

The blurb
When rancher, Cash Carter gets sexy Latina, Graciela Fuentes back in his bed, he vows to keep her there. Whether it's through the lure of hotter than hell sex or the intrigue to be found in an ancient topaz-studded dagger, he won't let her go again. His body burns for hers but once she touches the handle of the dagger and Miguel de Castillo, a man from another time, manifests before them, Cash realizes Gracie's soul may belong to another.
Miguel longs for a reunion with his long-dead bride and when he finds her soul residing in the body of the very modern Gracie, he'll do anything to get her back. It becomes a race against time as Gracie gives her body to both men in order to reunite the lost lovers, hoping against hope she doesn't lose her life or her love in the process.
The excerpt….warning hot.
Cash Carter leaned against the frame of the open barn door and watched Graciela Fuentes barrel down the dirt road leading to the Classic Cash Ranch. She had a new car. A sassy little roadster that reminded him of her, sleek but rounded in all the right places. A rooster tail of dust shot out from behind the vehicle as it rocketed down the road. On either side of the snappy little car, his land stretched out like a rugged Texas jewel in the waning autumn sunlight.
She was home.
Thank god. That was all that mattered.
The weeks since he'd last seen her fell away and his cock hardened behind the well-worn fly of his jeans. Her memory rose up, hot and fluid, in his mind and as his mouth went dry, he swore he could still feel the taste of her nipple on his tongue. It was a rich memory that he'd never been able to shake, even after she left for college and then landed a job as a museum curator in Houston. They'd been lovers for those years, but time and distance was his enemy. He was damn sick of only having scarce visits to her apartment in Houston and her trips to central Texas were so seldom, he was left aching.
When he'd found the dagger two days ago, she was the only person he'd called. It was a deal that worked for him. He'd have answers and her all at the same time. Have her he would, too. The connection between them had always been electrifying and the month that had passed since he'd last had her hadn't changed a damn thing about that.
Cash shifted his stance and walked further into the yard to meet her. His heart thumped hard in his chest as he waited and remembered. Lust crawled through his belly and the urge to fuck her sweet pussy seeped through his mind like an oft remembered dream. If circumstances hadn't intervened a couple of days ago, he'd pretty much decided to head down to Houston and haul her sexy, Latina ass back where she belonged. For good.
Maybe it was the time of year that made him hard for her. Made him ache for her. The leaves on the trees had turned a smoldering gold that exactly matched her eyes. The simmering reds mingled among the golden leaves reminded him of her lush lips and the way they'd always taken his with a hunger unequaled in his experience.
Bottom line was the woman was so fucking hot she burned him to ash with every touch. She was a craving in his system and he was a happy addict.
When the source of his raging addiction, stopped her car not twenty yards from where he stood, he stiffened, unsure of her greeting, as she stepped from the little car and gave him a look, cocked a winged black brow and sent him a sexy smile. Odd that he noticed that seductive smirk since he could barely drag his gaze from the long length of leg she bared beneath the miniscule black skirt. A strip of her belly flashed from below her shorter-than-hell red tee. The woman was sex on a stick and his cock pulsed in reaction, grew in dimension and he had the crazy desire to lick her from the tips of her cute little toes to her mouth, stopping to savor every point in between.
"Hey, sweet thing," he drawled.
Her smile widened as she sent her gaze zipping down then up the length of his body. Impossibly his erection pulsed stronger as the need to fuck her silly grew by immense proportions.
"Hola, querido. Miss me?"
"Every damn day." Cash held out his arms and watched her go still. A flicker of intensity made her golden eyes go dark. He smiled, knowing he had her right where he wanted her. She'd missed him, too. "Come 'ere, darlin'. If I don't touch you right now, I swear I'm gonna die."
And just like, that the darkness left her eyes and her smile widened as she laughed and raced headlong into his arms.
'Back Sunday – be good, be safe or be fast and have an alibi…or email me and I'll make up one for you.
Go ahead: Live with abandon. Be outrageous at any age. What are you saving your best self for?

Topaz me...
I don't understand….I just heard on the radio that California has re-voted to outlaw gay marriages. Now, I don't care it you are black, white or purple, who you worship or who you love….why should anyone else tell someone they can or cannot get married? What that hell is that about? Who decreed you could only commit to someone if you were straight? No, I'm not gay. I'm a committed single – we're whole other group of troublesome 'non conformists' who actually don't want to get married…we're the worst as we are really letting the side down. So if you can tell me why this 'law' makes sense – then please do.

** Constitutionally required 25% of the 21,116 registered electors = 5,292
Updated Figures and Summary Submissions
As the verification process on the cruise port referendum petition signatures moves forward, the Elections Office would like to inform the public on its current progress.
As of 9 a.m. today (Tuesday, 30 July 2019), the Elections Office reports a total of 3,705 petition signatures have been confirmed, out of a total submission of 5,637 petition signatures to be verified.
Through the collection of signature verification forms, officials have now reviewed 70% required to meet the constitutional requirement of 25% of registered voters (5,292 signatures). Officials confirm that 76 petitioners have declined to sign the official verification forms.
The Elections Office continues to accept petition signatures submitted by the CPR group and is in some cases receiving verification forms in advance of the next CPR submission. In the later cases, persons have stated that they recently signed the petition and have asked for their signatures to be verified at the Elections Office or at our local supermarket verification booths, in advance of the CPR submitting the signatures for verification.
With each submission, the CPR group has reported and the Elections Office has confirmed a number of signatures that were excluded from verification. These excluded signatures are not included in submitted totals or verified totals. The following is a summary of the two CPR submissions:
- On 12 June 2019
- 6,053 signatures were delivered by the CPR group during the official handover
- 241 of those signatures, the CPR reported as being multiple submissions (persons signing more than once)
- 374 signatures, the CPR reported as not corresponding with the current electoral register (signatures from non-voters)
- 5,438 - the total signatures submitted by the CPR for verification.
- On 11 July 2019
- 229 signatures were handed over by the CPR group
- 16 of those signatures were reported to be multiple submissions
- 14 of the signatures were reported as corresponding with the current electoral register
- 199 - the total signatures submitted by the CPR for verification.
Supervisor of Elections, Mr. Wesley Howell, notes: "With each of the submissions, the CPR performed its own assessment on its petition signatures to help in ensuring validity of the process; and the CPR team worked to eliminate the names of non-voters, in keeping with section 70 of the Cayman Islands Constitution Order 2009.
"I would like to thank the CPR team for their continued support in helping to expedite the verification process."
The Elections Office continues to provide weekly progress reports to His Excellency the Governor, Mr Martyn Roper. The summary facts are then shared with Cabinet members.
Officials will continue with its various verification methods to review the 1,932 signatures currently remaining to be verified.
In order to meet the constitutional requirement with 25% of the 21,116 registered electors, a total of 1,587 verification forms still need to be confirmed.
For more information on the verification process and details on how interested persons can verify their signature today, please visit www.elections.ky/cpr.
Elections Office Begins Door to Door Verification
The Elections Office today (Friday, 28 June 2019) began door-to-door verification of signatures on the cruise port referendum petition, in the districts of North Side and East End.
Elections Office staff are identifiable by their Elections Office shirts and ID Cards. While verifying signatures, staff will also have change of detail forms for registered voters who have changed names or addresses but have yet to notify the Elections Office.
Verifiers are expected to begin going door-to-door in Bodden Town next Friday, 5 July and the Elections Office will keep the public informed as the process moves to other districts.
Officials remind the public that the deadline to register for the next publication of the Official Register of Electors is 8pm on Tuesday, 2 July. In addition the office will open tomorrow (Saturday, 29 June) between the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Smith Road Centre for verification of signatures on the petition or for registration purposes.
Persons with questions should contact the Elections Office at 949-8047.
Elections Office Launches Web Ticker
As part of its objective to ensure a transparent and efficient verification process, the Elections Office has launched a web ticker so interested persons are able to track the ongoing progress.
The web ticker will provide the public with regular updates as Elections Office officials continue to verify the signatures on the provided cruise port referendum petition.
The new website plugin will include the number of verification forms that have been received, the number outstanding, as well as an overall percentage of the signatures confirmed out of the 5,438 that have been submitted thus far.
For more information please visit the Elections Office website at www.elections.ky.
Governor's Statement on Cruise Port Petition Verification
20 June 2019
Issued by: Governor's Office
His Excellency The Governor, Martyn Roper OBE has issued the following statement concerning the process to verify the signatures on the cruise port petition:
"I am aware of the concerns that have been expressed about the comprehensive process being followed to verify the signatures on the petition which was presented to the Elections Commissioner by Cruise Port Referendum Cayman (CPR Cayman). I can assure everyone that Cabinet has no role whatsoever in the verification process, which remains the sole responsibility of Mr Howell, who reports to me and in whom I have full confidence. This is the first time in Cayman's history that we have been on the verge of a People's Initiated Referendum. We need to ensure that we get the process right. There can be no shortcuts to democracy. To provide clear and unambiguous proof that the signatures on the petition are valid will provide a solid base for what will follow and help to protect the process from any potential legal challenge in the future. Mr Howell and his team will carry out this exercise as quickly as possible and will try to make it as easy for everyone to verify their signatures as they can. He will take independent decisions based on appropriate legal advice and will also have access to advice from the UK's Electoral Commission going forward. My office and I will help to oversee the process and ensure there is no interference in the important task that Mr Howell is undertaking. We now need to let him get on with the task and respect his independence."

Gorgeous Les Paul looks matched with professional guitar appointments.
Epiphone's history and association with Les Paul dates way back to the days when Les, working at the Epiphone factory on 14th St. in New York, created the world's first electric guitar. Over the years, Les continued to work closely with Epiphone by reviewing new product ideas and offering suggestions. The Epiphone Les Paul Quilt Top PRO electric guitar combines the best of Les Paul's original design with new features that set this Epiphone guitar apart. Case sold separately.
Professional Electronics
The Les Paul Quilt Top PRO uses Epiphone's 4-wire, nickel/silver base humbuckers with newly tooled, USA-style bobbins. In the neck position is Epiphone's chrome-covered ProBucker 2 with warm, thick vintage tone. It's uniquely paired with a chrome-covered ProBucker 3 humbucker, an inspired by version of Gibson's BurstBucker 3, that features unevenly wound coils and Alnico-II magnets that replicate that "Patent Applied for" airy tone. To top it all off, both volume controls feature push/pull potentiometers allowing you to coil-split each pickup for single-coil sounds. Combined with the 3-way toggle, you get 6 unique sounds from one great Les Paul guitar.
Premium tone woods
The Epiphone Les Paul Quilt Top PRO guitar has a solid mahogany back with a stunning, carved quilted top. Its solid mahogany neck is hand-fitted and glued into the body for excellent neck-to-body contact and resonates almost like one continuous piece of wood.
Loaded with add-ons
Other features on the Epiphone Les Paul included quality Grover tuners, a traditional cream-colored pickguard, and LockTone tune-o-matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece.

Sha'arei Tsedek is a friendly and welcoming Reform community in North London. Many social as well as religous activities for all ages.
The Place
Sha'arei Tsedek is housed in a beautiful spacious building which feels very much like home. The Synagogue is a unique and peaceful space that promotes both a sense of community and peace.
Sha'arei Tsedek began life in a house in Winchmore Hill in 1961. The congregation grew rapidly and twenty years later we purchased a warehouse in Southgate High Street. Very quickly the rather decrepit building was transformed by home-grown skill and labour, creating a lively and warm Jewish environment.
'High Street' was Sha'arei Tsedek's (at that time – SDRS') home for eighteen years, then in 1999 we moved to our present abode in Whetstone, a spacious building which has given us the room to provide a range of activities and services. What had been a gym became a beautiful prayer hall. A wide variety of groups use the facilities regularly and we are proud that the synagogue has become a Jewish community centre.
The People
Sha'arei Tsedek has a flourishing kindergarten, Alonim, which has a well founded reputation for excellence in the area – and a waiting list to match!
There are three family activities each month bringing in many young children.
We boast a high quality Religion School, with qualified Jewish educators working with the young of the community, many of whom go on, after bnei mitzvah, to take on teaching roles themselves.
Our Circus Youth Club provides activities and informal Jewish education for the younger members of the community.
We have groups providing for a variety of specific needs in the community and there is a thriving social scene. We organise trips to European cities with Jewish connections and our post bnei-mitzvah youngsters spend a specially structured weekend in Amsterdam.
Our religious life is full, rich and all-inclusive. Having a rabbinic team allows us to provide not just one form of service, but to offer a variety of styles of prayer to involve all age groups. We have a flourishing junior warden scheme, in which teenagers are 'apprenticed' to experienced wardens and we have a thriving choir.

Every aesthetic illumination system has to bring together several cabinet light components to make the display work. This goes beyond just the fixtures themselves, as designers also have to make decisions on how the lamp is customized and how it is arranged. Bringing all of these parts together into a cohesive whole takes the work of an expert, and it also takes high-quality technology that can be configured to any setting. Phantom's systems, in particular, emphasize this versatile approach and include several elements that can be tailored to any setting.
What are some essential cabinet light components that every display should include?
With every system, designers and installers have to make several decisions, as Phantom's fixtures can be configured on multiple levels. Some of the most important parts of a system include:
- The lamp itself – without a source of illumination, there's no display, and there are many lamps to choose from. Phantom offers incandescent, xenon and LED models, and its LED fixtures are ideal for clients that want efficiency and reliability, in addition to power.
- The source's color – LEDs can be customized to produce a range of colors and color temperatures, and this can have a major impact on the system's appearance. For example, if the fixtures are going to be used to display leather bound books or paintings with reds and oranges, then a fixture that emits warm illumination will work best. Or perhaps a homeowner wants a distinct color, like a gentle blue, to pair with glass or metal pieces. LEDs can be customized to do this as well.
- Mounting trim – while the most important cabinet light components are built into the fixture, mounting trim is still a critical element of many systems. It is designed to conceal the fixtures from view, while also providing a structure around which the fixtures can be metered. In other words, the trim allows the installer to better aim and control the illumination, by blocking out undesirable aiming angles.
- Drivers – drivers are intended for use with LED strips and deliver power to the fixtures. Phantom offers several driver options, each of which can support different wattage levels. This ranges from 16 watts to 96 x 3 watts, and all of Phantom's driver models are concealable, making them easy to assimilate into a system.
- Glare shields – what makes aesthetic illumination work is its softness. If hard edges are present, it will create unsightly contrast and sharp divisions between light and dark. Glare shields are what make this softness possible, by diffusing the illumination as it leaves the fixture.
- Dimmer controls – it's not always best to have the system operating at peak level, and dimmer controls allow homeowners to set the output level quickly. At night, for example, the system can be brought down to reduce the intensity of illumination and to conserve power.
These are the standard cabinet light components involved in every installation, and with an experienced professional bringing them together, they can produce a cohesive, sophisticated display.

Rwanda Scholars
They may be separated by more than 8,000 miles, but TCU and Rwanda are growing closer every day.
— "The TCU-Rwanda Connection," TCU Magazine
The TCU Carl & Teresa Wilkens Award:
The Carl & Teresa Wilkens Award was started in 2012 after educators from Rwanda approached Texas Christian University about their nation's intention, just three years prior, to adopt English officially as the language of instruction, of healthcare, and of government. That same year TCU was invited by Lewis & Clark College to join in its work through the Roméo Dallaire Scholarship fund, "combating genocide in Rwanda and worldwide." The TCU Wilkens Award, modelled after the L&C Dallaire Scholarship, is offered annually to a qualified individual from Rwanda to study in the Intensive English Program at TCU as an active resident of the campus community for one academic year. The Award is named in honor of Carl Wilkens and Teresa Wilkens, a couple whose bravery during the genocide in Rwanda saved hundreds of lives of individuals who are now remaking Rwanda into a rather remarkable place on our planet.
The Wilkens Award Recipients:
Nadine Muhimpundu, Recipient of the 2019-2020 TCU Wilkens Award
Sakina Usengimana, Recipient of the 2018-2019 TCU Wilkens Award
I am Sakina Usengimana, and I am participating in the Intensive English Program. It has been a great pleasure to be part of this program. The reason why I came here is that I want to tell the story of my country through handcraft. I am a jewelry designer and I believe that not everyone wears jewelry simply to be beautiful. There is a story behind that and I want to work with women who have stories that they want to share with the world. Through the Intensive English Program, we learn how to communicate thoughtfully and actively. The significant experience I have had so far provided the encouragement to step out of my comfort zone and get to connect with others. For example, I recently applied for Housing and Residence Inclusiveness Leadership Committee and I was called for interview. They asked me "What is the difference between diversity and inclusiveness?" My answer was very simple: Diversity is when one is invited to the party and inclusiveness is when one is asked to dance. Thank you very much for involving us and I believe I will be able to tell the story of my country and Africa apart from what we see in the news. I also believe that other students at the Intensive English Program will get the opportunity to share their stories.
Larissa Uwase, Recipient of the 2017-2018 TCU Wilkens Award
Patrick Rutikanga, Recipient of the 2016-2017 TCU Wilkens Award
My name is Patrick Rutikanga, and I am from Rwanda. When I was asked to speak about my experience about the Intensive English Program in one or two minutes I just thought that I couldn't do it because I had so many great moments. My first experience that I would like to mention is that I thought I was here only for learning English. I thought English was going to be my first purpose but when I got in the Intensive English Program things became different. I was introduced to a language, and language is part of a culture. I was learning a new culture here in the United States. Adding on to that, I have also been spending my time with people from different countries like Ecuador, Colombia, and China. I was actually traveling the whole world in a same place which really had a tremendous impact on me. The second thing that I would like to mention about is how the IEP shaped my passion. I was actually a social work major and ended up learning that TCU has an Institute of Child Development. I was reshaped in this program and I am now a graduate student at the institute of child development just right up there. I am really thankful for everything and I am so proud to be here. Thank you so much!

I have just finished typing for the night and I am currently 521 words ahead of the amount of words I should be at. I am very pleased with myself. I have been working at this week with my second job and I have been planning for a while.
I have been writing while at work or sitting at home. The cats have been trying to help me write. It is a shame that Gizzy and Sam do not have human hands as I could dictate to them. I have got a few programmed on my laptop to help me write my 50,000 words challenge.
There is one problem with doing NaNoWriMo here in the UK – missing out on the WordSprints because of the time difference. But I am trying to keep up.
I am looking forward to posting tomorrow; I have been looking at the prompts on the NaBloPoMo pages. Fingers crossed all goes well.

No, I'm not talking about the Marky Mark Patriotic porno that's out in theatres right now, just in case you needed to watch a fantasy tailored specifically for Michael Bay (just without all the boobs), moreso the fact that Matt and I always find ourselves surrounded by Zach and Jen, the pro-Patriots of Razzland. And I mention that since we all went over our playoff picks, the scenarios, the "master plan", and they all seem to involve Tom Brady, and thusly, they all involve Uggs. We also talk about Doug Martin's Adderall problem, Cowboy boots (actual boots, not the Dallas Cowboys), and this time, Matt brings up politics, so I just happened to provide a few more thoughts on what we're about to get via leadership in this New Year, and it was all guilt-free! (Please send all complaints, care of Matt Bowe.) Westworld came up for a bit (spoilers!), and there was some talk of Tyrod Taylor and the futility of Week 17 Championship weeks hidden in there. We also had the best goodbye ever, in that it was a functioning one. Baby steps folks…Please, blog, may I have some more?

Net Neutrality CRA Draws Crowd
Senate Democrats' official launch of their effort to nullfy the Republican FCC majority's vote to eliminate net neutrality regulations drew a lot of response Wednesday (May 9.)
A discharge petition was officially filed with enough supporters -- 50 signed on, but only 30 were needed -- to force a vote on the CRA in the full Senate by July 12. The resolution will need at least 51 votes to pass the Senate, so there is still work, and an up-Hill battle after that since it had only 160 House votes at press time, far short of the 200-plus needed.
In any event, the discharge petition was another milepost in the long and winding road of net neutrality regulation.
"When the CRA resolution comes to a vote, lawmakers will have to make a choice, and the sides are clear," said Demand Progress communications director Mark Stanley. "Lawmakers can join with big cable companies that want to control the internet for profit. Or they can stand with the millions of Americans who overwhelmingly support net neutrality and rely on the open internet for news, entertainment and communication, as well as small business owners who depend on it for their livelihoods."
MCN Guest Blog: The Right Vote
Given that the CRA is likely going to be DOA in the House, some Democrats are looking to use the CRA vote and the overall issue against Republicans come mid-term election time.
And while bipartisan legislation on new net neutrality regs, which Republicans are pushing, is a long shot in any event, the fact that such legislation would take the teeth out of that election issue could be another reason not to look for a net neutrality bill in the near term.
"Public Knowledge is grateful to the 50 Republican, Democrat, and Independent Senators who have already expressed their support for the CRA resolution to overturn the net neutrality repeal," said Public Knowledge vice president Chris Lewis. "With the discharge petition filed, it is now time for the rest of the U.S. Senate to listen to the overwhelming view of the American people and vote to restore clear, simple net neutrality rules that protect Americans' right to choose what they see online -- not gatekeeper broadband providers."
Leading with the "Republican" in that list of supporters was clearly not in order of support. The bill has 48 Democratic supporters and independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who caucuses with the Dems, but only one Republican, moderate Susan Collins of Maine.
"With the discharge petition filed, the Senate has an opportunity to take a major step forward in restoring the net neutrality rules," said Mike Copps, former FCC chair and now a special advisor to Common Cause. "The internet belongs to everyone and is vital to a functioning democracy."
On the other side, Free State Foundation president Randolph May said that if the CRA were to pass, it "would have the perverse effect — among others — of diminishing privacy protection for consumers of Internet.
"[I]f Congress adopts the net neutrality CRA overturning the Restoring Internet Freedom Order," said May, "the effect would be to jettison the Federal Trade Commission's current symmetrical privacy regulatory regime. The FTC would be divested of authority over the ISPs. Thus, consumers would be left with less privacy protection. And, importantly, under the Congressional Review Act, the FCC would be precluded from adopting a new privacy regulation applicable to ISPs that is 'substantially the same' as the one overturned in April 2016 [via a Republican-led CRA resolution that did pass]."
"CTIA and our members support the Open Internet," said CTIA President Meredith Attwell Baker. "We believe a better way forward than the CRA would be to establish permanent bipartisan rules to protect Americans online, while maintaining the regulatory framework that allowed the Internet to flourish."
Another opponent is Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, who wrote in a CNBC op ed Wednesday that the Democratic CRA was rooted in "fear mongering and manufactured hand-wringing."

There's always room on our Christmas tree for one, or two or three, more handmade Christmas ornaments from my mini's.
So far this year we've added a wooden angel and a clay tree from River and a wooden snowman, clay gingerbread man and picture from Rayne. Today we're adding a Rudolph from each.
This ornament was an arts and crafts project put together by myself and another class mom for Rayne's class Christmas party. Rayne had to miss his party, so I made extra crafts baggies for him and River to make at home.
To make your own handprint reindeer keepsake, gather up some brown foam board, pipe cleaners, red jewels, glue, wiggle eyes, and a pen.
Trace your child's hand on the foam board and cut it out.
The thumb will be the head and the 4 fingers will be the legs.
Glue on your red jewel nose at the tip of the thumb and then glue on the eyes. Rayne chose a side profile with one eye and River wanted a front face with two eyes.
Next, cut the pipe cleaners to the size antlers you want and poke a hole through the foam board near the top where you want the antlers to go. Twist the antlers through the hole to secure them. Add more horns by cutting smaller pieces of pipe cleaner and twisting them around the antlers.
Poke another hole through the foam board where you want the tail to go and twist that through. Decorate your reindeer how you want with extra pipe cleaners, jewels, stickers, etc…
Thread through some ribbon or an ornament hook and hang them up on the tree or give them as gifts to family members!
Merry Christmas!

Non-Degree Seeking Students
Foreign Language Education students may start taking graduate courses as non-degree seeking students and apply up to 12 credits toward their Master's once they are admitted. Many students start as non-degree seeking students while they complete the formal admissions process or establish the credentials required for formal admission.
Limited Space and Non-Degree Seeking Students
Because non-degree seeking students register last, you can expect difficulties getting into foreign language education methods courses, particularly in your first semester. It is state policy that your access to courses is on a seat available basis. As a result, University policy states that fully admitted graduate students register first and fully admitted undergraduate students register second, based on earned hours. Last to register are non-degree seeking students on a first-come, first-served basis based on the alphabetical appointment times for registration. You can avoid this problem by applying to one of our master's degree programs, which will allow you to register earlier in the registration process.
If a course is closed when you attempt to register, you will need to adjust your plans.
The foreign language education courses have enrollment limits that are planned based
on the content and assignments in each course. Even if you are told otherwise, do
not come to the first class meeting of a course that is closed in the hope that you
will be admitted. The foreign language education faculty do not admit students to
The only way to enter Foreign Language Education courses is through registration and the drop/add system. You can check OASIS frequently during the registration and the drop/add period during the first week of classes to see if a seat has opened up in the course.
Students seeking courses only to meet certification requirements directly from the State of Florida, but who do not want a degree from USF in foreign language education, have typically used a non-degree seeking admissions status.
How to Apply
- Complete the Non-Degree Seeking Student application and submit it to the Registrar's Office.
- Within about a week, you will be eligible to register for courses for the upcoming term.
How to Register
- Select Student Login from the Secured Access menu.
- Enter nine-digit Student ID (or social security number) followed by your six-digit Personal Identification number (PIN) and press the login button (see instructions below about PIN).
- Re-enter your PIN as prompted and press login.
- Select the registration menu.
- Select Registration/Add/Drop Classes.
- Select the term for which you are registering from the pull-down menu and click "Submit Term."
- To ADD a course, enter the five-digit reference number (CRN) in the Add Class portion of the page and click "Submit Changes."
- To DROP a course click, on the Action pull-down menu next to the CRN, select drop,
then click "Submit Changes."
Click Exit when finished.
