As such, this Saturday (February 18th) has been deemed Battleborn Day 2.0, and just like last time, we have a few things planned to help support this great community effort. We can't emphasize that last part enough, by the way - this event is solely organized by the community itself. We're just along for the ride, and we're happy to support it in any way we can. Here's what you can expect to see happening in-game from Friday, February 17th at 2pm PT (5pm ET) until Monday, February 20th at 8am PT (11am ET):
Boss Drop Rate increases: 50% (Normal difficulty) 75% (Advanced difficulty)
Champion and Elite enemy drop rate increases
All enemies and bosses drop more higher rarity gear
Rare and Epic packs have an increased chance to drop more Rare, Epic, and Legendary gear
Commander packs have an increased chance to drop more Epic and Legendary gear
Legendary and Faction Loot Packs will be available for purchase
Skins and Taunts will be on sale
Special Battleborn Day Titles
Additionally, everyone who logs into Battleborn during the Battleborn Day festivities will automatically unlock TWO gold skins -- Ghalt's "Firstborn" and Kelvin's "Phase Transition". That won't be all you'll see on Saturday, so make sure you're following @Battleborn on Twitter -- ya know, just in case there's more. (There will be more.)
As always, each week's hot fixes begin rolling out on Thursday at 12pm PT (3pm ET).
Meltdown: Finale
This week in Battleborn Versus Queues:
Looking to the future:
Dunk Squad
Lost Heroes
In winning the qualifiers, both teams have earned themselves official sponsorships from Gearbox, including hotel and airfare to the Choctaw Festival of Gaming, tours of the Gearbox Software studios, and more! Congratulations!
We'll also have a contingent of Gearbox developers on hand at the tournament as well and look forward to an awesome weekend of hanging out with the community and taking in some competitive Battleborn!
This week's lore sees Kid Ultras pitching his own... T.V. show?!From: ULTRAkid@lasernautsleagueTo: p_hemsworth.IV@hemsworthSubject: PitchHey Phoebe!
Kid Ultra here, and boy do I have a GREAT IDEA that I'd like your input on! I've been SIDEkicking around this idea for a while. Everyone knows about the great heroes of history (like Captain Aster and Inspector Spectre, Ghost Detector). BUT, WHAT IF (bear with me) we made NEW HEROES?Here's my idea: with your help, we could make a holoshow about crime-fighting and justice, to inspire the next generation of BATTLEBORN! I've already reached out to Captain Aster via the Little Lasernauts League official mailing list, but so far I haven't gotten a response. Luckily, we have some of our own talent on our team who were happy to help!
I'll have some footage to show you later, but for now, I've attached a sample of the script I'm working on for our first episode.
Let me know what you think!Also we need funding.Potentially a Holoshow Hero,Kid Ultra

Interesting choice/comment on the balancing and balancing rate. Mellka still needs fixing but I'm glad you upped the Meltdown score limit. Just what I wanted.
Hype for stream.
HYPE for Battleborn day and looking forward to the stream
This is it.... sniff sniff.... the last DLC... I still have sooooo many hours to put in, in order to get 100% in the story ops challenges.
Does it end Sunday with 19th or Monday the 20th? Currently, it says Monday the 19th (a day that doesn't exist)
Yay Kevlin's gold skin! Thanks so much, been waiting for that. Now about his cyber skin...
Yes!! It's Phoebe's time to shine!!
So no leaker eating leeks then? Oh well, always next time! Looking forward to the Story Op.
Kid Ultra's got his own twist on reality but I can't just pass this one by... "Depleted Magnus Cores" got me very concerned though...
Hooray for BB day II! So nice of you to pitch in again, personally really looking forward all the goodies, especially the skins. "Firstborn" seems to be very apt name for Ghalt's gold skin, and since Kelvin has no bad skins I can't wait to see just how brilliant gold looks on him.
See you soon in the stream!
A Kelvin gold skin, Kelvin featuring in the weekly lore, and a stream about Heart of Ekkunar?
Is our frosty friend going to be featuring in the final DLC?
Probably, yeah. Phoebe and Miko and Kelvin, I think.
Maybe Ghalt? The gold skin combined with this other rumor I heard...
@JoeKGBX Will the weekly rotation of both solo/due queue and versus draft potentially mean that one of the existing queues (ex. Incursion) might be removed as an available option?
Why would they remove that? If they're just switching out Versus Draft with Solo Queue and vice versa...
Just want to make sure, since we did have Incursion and Versus Draft removed during the time that they were rotating queue's out.
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been wanting Kelvins gold skin for ever! I will soon have every Kelvin skin in existence.
@JoeKGBX I like the update today, there's a lot to be excited for. With that said let me officially drop the gloves and issue a challenge for Battleborn Day 2.0 to face any and all Gearbox developers who play on Xbox One; my team "The Final Boss" would love a chance to go toe to toe with the best Gearbox has to offer!
If we're upping the score on Meltdown, why not just revert it altogether? If it isn't significantly shortening match times, all the Finale really does is punish short handed teams and teams that aren't in coordination even further. I've still yet to play a fun/competitive finale. I've had fun matches leading up to the finale, but no fun with the finale itself. One team fighting on one lane while the other team has to fight on two is pretty predictable and presents a much larger edge for coordinated teams than the previous format. I still haven't seen a single Finale comeback and if your team is shorthanded there's just no reason to even go through the motions.
Happy to hear we're getting a skin/taunt sale though. Had been considering making a purchase now that the daily quests have me able to afford a taunt, figured I'd hold out for a sale
O___O I'm so excited it hurts, OWWW STOP IT OWW!
Yay LivestreamYay Battleborn Day 2.0YAY EVERYTHING, DAMNIT!
Well time to draft another notes thread.
@JoeKGBX I know I hadn't gotten around to mentioning it but a few well-known names in various groups of the Battleborn community and myself had been discussing a way to bring the splinters together.
And thanks to @lowlines who volunteered to make a page on his website for it we have a non-forum based notice/bulletin/community event board. I don't know how many people are aware of this yet though so a shout out for @lowlines work on that board and all those who pitched idea's would be great.
Love the Meltdown score limit increase and thrilled both for the new Op and Battleborn Day 2.0!
However, this time I hope we can maybe connect newer players with BattleBros, so that those Battleborn Day Guide titles don't go to waste.

Interesting Times My friends, we are suffering under the ancient curse, "May you live in interesting times."
I've been sitting at my desk today working on a fairly mundane and repetitive task - silhouetting images for a Flash animation. It doesn't take a lot of concentration so I was able to occupy my mind with other thoughts. A refrain from one of my least favorite bands that popped into my head unbidden: "I read the news today, Oh Boy."
I began to wonder when my children reached my age, what sort of life they would have, and what sort of country they would be living in. 22 images later I can't claim to know the answer, but I think I have a better understanding of the question. The truly interesting thing is that the answer will known long before my children reach forties.
What I do know about the future is that it will be nothing like the present or even the recent past. I know I have a terrifying grasp of the obvious and on it's face that is a completely useless statement. But if you bear with me I will offer what I can by means of an explanation to give it what meaning I can.
First a definition of terms. By "recent history" I am referring to the the last half a century or so. For a historical reference let's assume the Post War Era.
Politics and culture have been swinging like the tides. A little more freedom, a little more statist then back again in and almost decadal cycle.
Starting with the Great Society of the Sixties we moved into the barely moderate Seventies until we hit a pothole known as the Carter years.
Then we had eight years of conservative leadership from the Reagan administration. Followed by the squishy conservative years with Bush the Elder.
Then eight years of Triangulation, which was an exercise in intellectual masturbation through which Clinton tried to hide how liberal he really was.
We followed that with eight years of "Compassionate Conservatism." Which was Bush the Younger's attempt to govern as a conservative while trying to look like a moderate. The result of all this back and forth has been ever growing government and ever increasing statism.
Now the tide has fully reversed and we have The One. The One has put a lot of effort into blaming everything on Bush the Younger, but in truth The One is not the Anti-Bush. The One is the Anti-Reagan.
In fact about the only thing for which I can give The One any degree of respect is the fact he is unabashedly liberal. He doesn't try to hide it with triangulation or some silly pseudonym like Conservative Progressivism. He is what he is. And of course he is wrong.
My point in all of this admittedly oversimplified analysis is that I don't think as a nation we have much time left to swing a little to the left, and little to the right as we dance around the middle. I think The One has taken things far enough to the left to have broken the cycle. In the back and forth between the statists and those who prefer the individual liberty on which this nation was founded it has finally come down to us or them.
I don't know who is going to win but I suspect that the struggle is not going to be pretty.
How can I be sure of that? Consider that today the people who want to live in a country that is actually governed according to the Constitution with which it was founded are the Counter Culture. They are protesting. They are marching. They are mocked and derided by the powerful as "teabaggers" in much the same way those in the Sixties Counter Culture were mocked and derided as Hippies.
There are some differences. The current Counter Culture contains a large number of people who are strong supporters of the Second Amendment. They are armed in numbers that the Sixties Counter Culture could never imagine. This is not to say that the current establishment is going to be any more averse to using force than its Sixties and Seventies predecessors.
Recently members of The One's favorite labor union the SEIU arrived by the bus load at a the home of a Bank of America executive with a goal of intimidation. They succeeded in terrorizing the man's teenage son. No arrests were made despite their mass trespass on private property.
They were breaking the law to protest BofA following the law, enforcing contracts, and foreclosing on delinquent mortgages.
This is not the end of physical intimidation from the left, nor is it the beginning. I do not think it is a question of if the left's violence will be answered with violence, but when.
The One needs one more big crisis to make his next transformative change to the country. That crisis will be the next round of financial meltdown that is coming soon. It will start in Europe when Greece finally collapses into chaos and the European Union falls apart. In the U.S. the kick-off will be California. Having spent trillions bailing out everyone else there will be no financial means or political will to bail out California.
Can all this be avoided. Possibly. If Greece and California can last past the mid-term elections and enough statists can be replaced in Washington. But even with that I think it's still going to be a very interesting time.

It's Everybody Draw Mohammed Day! My celebration of Everybody Draw Mohammed Day would probably be better if I could draw at all. But the fact is I can't draw to save my life. Which given today's festivities is either a good thing or a bad thing. I'm not sure.

Local Liar Does it come as any surprise that Chris "Friend of Angelo" Dodd having been forced out of the Senate because he was too corrupt for even Connecticut Democrats to support has endorsed Attorney General Richard Blumenthal?
Recently Blumenthal was called to question for some things he said that were less than truthful.
He got caught lying through his teeth about his past military service.
His defense is that he misspoke. On the multiple occasions when he said he served as a Marine in Vietnam, he meant to say he served during Vietnam. As he did not actually go to Vietnam or take part in anything close to combat.
I don't believe that he misspoke. I believe he told the same lie with both statements.
If someone says to you "I served in the Marines during Vietnam," do you take that to mean they were in the states working their day job while they were part of the Marine Reserves? Or do you have a picture them slogging through the jungle, carrying a rifle, looking for Charlie?
Blumenthal deliberately sought to create the impression that he fought as a United States Marine in the Vietnam war. He lied.
He should be dishonorably discharged from public service for conduct unbecoming a decent human being.

Serious Spin I make no claim to be a legal scholar, and I have only been peripherally following the issues surrounding the nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court.
However you can file this under the heading of Spin so unbelievable it can only come from the New York Times.
On Speech, Kagan Leaned Toward Conservatives
WASHINGTON — In her early years as a law professor, Elena Kagan wrote almost exclusively on the First Amendment. There are indications in those writings that her views on government regulation of speech were closer to the Supreme Court's more conservative justices, like Antonin Scalia, than to Justice John Paul Stevens, whom she hopes to replace.
They actually expect people to believe that The One nominated a Scalia ally to the Court? There's a reason spin like this usually appears in print or online. It would fail on television because no one could make an argument like that with a straight face.

What's Going On? I have let so many things go by without comment, my loyal reader is probably beginning to question my dedication. Even my friend Jack has stopped sending me the emails he gets from MoveOn.org. But in my defense, it's hard to keep up with reality these days in large part because the truth is stranger than fiction.
So here's a quick round-up so my reader knows I'm paying attention.
One thing the current administration has going for it recently is a bit of good luck. They have been lucky that the incompetence of terrorists sent to attack us has obscured their incompetence in protecting the nation from terrorism.
The guy who failed to blow up a car in Times Square was arrested on board a plane that was taxying to the runway when it was ordered back to the gate. The guy was apparently on the federal "no fly" list. I guess technically "the system worked" because the plane never took off and he didn't actually fly, but wouldn't it be more effective to just not let him on a plane in the first place?
Tin Foil Hat Time: Cap and Trade legislation is stalled in congress. The One is taking some heat for his fake support of off-shore drilling. The green energy revolution and the billions of jobs it will create is off to an excruciatingly slow start. The whole edifice of Global Warming is crumbling. What The One really needs is a good environmental disaster. Preferably an oil related disaster. Never let a crisis go to waist and all that.
I'm not saying the administration caused the well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico. I'm just saying it couldn't have happened at a more convenient time.
The healthcare takeover bill is turning out to be bigger disaster than even some of the more pessimistic predictions. Actually it you combined all the different pessimistic predictions from all the different pessimistic analysts you would probably get fairly close to reality.
According to documents requested by Henry Waxman when companies started publicly reporting the financial impact of the bill, they are also busy doing the math to see if it makes better financial sense to not provide medical insurance as a benefit to their employees and just pay the fines instead.
Manufacturers of medical devices are busy looking into ways to reduce their operating costs to offset the increased taxes they will have to pay. One of those ways will be lay-offs.
On a more personal level I'm rolling along into the 11th month of unemployment. I'm currently interviewing for a position at a company that specializes in medical insurance. If the Republicans can't or don't undo this monstrosity I could possibly have job in a industry that will soon die of unnatural causes.
I would hate to have to put my fate in the hands of the GOP. The last time they ran the show, they really really sucked.
The CEO of Government Motors has been all over the television lying his ass off about how GM paid it's government loan back early. With interest. The lying sack of shit never mentioned the mentioned the $45 billion or so GM got by selling 60% of its stock to the U.S. Treasury. And the asshole never mentioned that they paid back the government loan with other money GM got from the government.
He also failed to mention that the only reason GM and The One and Tax Cheat of theTreasury Timmy Geitner tried to pull of this little fraud is because GM wants to get a $10 billion loan to retool it's factories to meet new government gas mileage standards.
Want to guess who they want to borrow that money from. That's right. The federal government.
I think it's about time they drop the pretense that GM is a private company. They should just make GM a federal department and the CEO a member of the cabinet. I'm certain the confirmation hearings would be entertaining.
Based on what is happening in Greece, a good deal of Europe and here in the U.S. I predict that before the end of the year what's left of the global economy will crash and crash hard. It is not going to be pretty.
If you want to know how unstable things are someone apparently made a typo on a stock trade today and sent the whole system into a tailspin. It's not even a house of cards any more. It's a hack magician's levitation illusion.
Someone asked me the other day if I was worried about police violating people's civil rights using Arizona's new "let's enforce immigration law" law. The way I see it law enforcement in Arizona will be operating under a microscope and anything done under this law that is not squeaky clean will be dealt with harshly. So my first instinct when someone cries abuse will be to assume they are lying for political reasons.
My lawnmower died yesterday.
I bought it 15 years ago when we bought our first house. It was an incredible machine. I brought it home, put in oil and gas, connected the spark plug and started it up. In the 15 years I have had it the only thing I have ever done to it is put in more gas. I never changed, added or even looked at the oil. It has an air filter on it somewhere, I've never touched that either. When winter came I pushed it into the garage with whatever gas was left in the tank and left it there until spring when I added more gas and started it up.
With that level of care it ran great for 15 years. If you ask me, Briggs and Stratton make a damn fine lawnmower engine.

Skip to comments.BREAKING NEWS: Terrorist Harry Reid agrees to free FAA and other hostages!
Posted on 08/05/2011 4:01:46 AM PDT by Bulwinkle
The Democratic Senate terrorists, lead by Mullah Harry Reid, had pledged to release the 74,000 hostages they have been holding for weeks and passed the FAA extension passed by the House in mid-July.
The terrorist had claimed that they took the 74,000 hostages to protest $16 million in cuts for 13 little-used airports, but that has been proven false.
The FAA extension passed by the House July 20th include a waiver provision allowing the Secretary of Transportation to waive the cut. The Sec. of Transportation has said he will grant waivers.
Since the 13 little-used airports were not in danger of losing the funding, it is unclear why Mullah Harry Reid and the Democratic terrorist threw 74,000 FAA and construction out of work July 23rd and held them and their families hostage.
And people wonder why there has been agreement on a universal definition of terrorism.....might have something to do with people on both sides of the political spectrum merrily tossing the word "terrorism" around like a homemade political rhetoric grenade. =.=
This is a blog post, not news/activism.
Naa...only the 'Rats have used it in the past....You "both sides" argument is full of horse hockey. Besides, if the right had used it it would be the truth.
What actually happened is Harry Reid read the bill passed by the House, and found that it provided for waivers, as he wanted. There was no compromise.

Iceland has many natural wonders and many places you can visit and enjoy. Although some of our natural wonders like Gullfoss waterfall and Geysir hot spring have gained popularity among visitors, there are still many peaceful and exciting places that people rarely visit. Places that are not as accessible and require more effort to visit.
We have often discussed the highland of Iceland. It is by any measure a very exciting and fascinating place.
In the heart of the Icelandic highlands is Nýidalur (New Valley). This is the perfect place to experience the true remote, but often extreme conditions of the highlands. Positioned right of the Sprengisandur Route - Highland Road Nr. F26, Nýidalur is also in between two glaciers: Tugnafellsjökull and Hofsjökull. There are a few hikes to be taken around the Valley, and The Icelandic Touring Association have two huts there, perfect as accommodation after a day out.
What is special about Ófærufoss is the amount of viewpoints you can see it from, giving you a new perspective of this impressive waterfall each time. At first, when driving towards Ófærufoss you will see it from above, along with a curve of basalt rock formation leading to the waterfall. After driving down to the canyon you can take an hour long hike towards the waterfall. When you have reached it you can walk/climb to see the pool in which the water falls down. That is where this photo is from, but we should mention it can be a bit slippery to take this detour.
Fimmvörðuháls, the Five Cairn Ridge, is one of the most popular hiking trails in Iceland. Although quite challenging, and even dangerous, many Icelanders and visitors walk this 22 km and 1000 meter high track every summer. Obviously, it has something to offer. It is a spectacular hike with stunning views and many natural wonders: waterfalls, craters, canyons, glaciers and breathtaking landscape. In 2010, a small eruption started on the track almost by the most challenging part of the track, Heljarkambur or Crest of Hell.
Most of the hikers walk from the well-known waterfall Skógarfoss to Þórsmörk. At the peak, the track is on the east side of Eyjafjallajokull and west side of Mýrdalsjökull. Both glaciers house powerful volcanos that can erupt with short notice. Even the most notorious volcano in Iceland's history as well as geological history, Katla in Mýrdalsjökull, has been due for a long time.
In 1970, a group of eleven hikers started the trail in good weather determined to walk to Þórsmörk. There was nothing exceptionally unusual about the weather or the condition. On the top near Heljarkambur, a severe weather hit the mountain and three of the hikers became exhausted and died within hours. The rest of the group made it to Básar in Þórsmörk with enormous hardship and difficulties. The story is a constant reminder of the unpredictable weather that two glaciers can produce. It is also a reminder of the necessity to prepare to hike over Fimmvörðuháls thoroughly and take all the percussion possible.
The track is only accessible from late May until September and is only for highly trained and experienced hikers at any other time of the year.
Intimidating or scary heights, none stop noise from birds, stunning sight of monstrous cliffs. How should we describe the westernmost place you can reach in Iceland. Yes, you are at Látrabjarg, but you might as well be at the edge of the world. Látrabjarg is simply not easy to describe; it has to be experienced. It consists of four cliffs, Keflavíkurbjarg, Látrabjarg, Bæjarbjarg, and Breiðavíkurbjarg. Altogether 14 km long and the height is 441 m., and as steep as steep can get. Standing by the edge gives you a whirling sensation, which doesn't fade the longer you stay. Indeed, it will stay with you for a long time afterward. If you are near the edge with a camera in your face, don't move until you have a clear sight and the camera away from your eyes and nose.
The cliffs are home to millions of birds, including puffins, northern gannets, guillemots, and razorbills. Látrabjarg is, indeed, Europe's largest bird cliff. The area is free of foxes, making the birds quite fearless. Especially the puffins, frequently venturing into the upper, grassy parts of the cliffs. Látrabjarg is a fantastic place to observe them in their natural habitat. But please understand the danger involved if you try to approach the edge.
Hiking along the edge is like being on top of the world. But, take care. Don't cross the white line painted on the sheer side. The dizziness may result in one fatal misstep. If you want to observe and photograph the birds, lay down on your stomach with only your head over the edge. There are some hiking trails in the southwest part of West Fjords, one of the most interesting is the one by the cliff. If you decide to hike the Látrabjarg contact some of the guesthouses, like Hnjótur Guesthouse, and find out the best route. Some of those trails are quite difficult but highly interesting.
Rauðisandur - Vatnsfjörður - Hellulaug - Flókalundur - Patreksfjörður
Probably the most famous hiking trail in Iceland today is the Laugavegur trail from Landmannalaugar to Thorsmork. It is a fascinating highland path where people go through all kinds of landscape and many geological wonders. A typical time for the hike is four days and five nights as most people spend a night in Landmannalaugar, the base camp, before starting and one night in Thorsmork, the oasis, at the end. Although the hiking trail is not particularly challenging, it requires some serious perpetration. The trail goes through some difficult terrain, and that requires good shoes.

Man Arrested After Drugs Found At Weymouth Flat
7:51am 3rd June 2013
A man's been released on police bail after being charged with drugs related offences and another's had a street warning, following the discovery of what's believed to be cannabis at a property in Weymouth.
Weymouth Police Commander Les Fry's praised the constable and a colleague who were attending a block of flats on Abbotsbury Road on a separate issue.
Dorset Police say PC Aiden Meredith and Safer Neighbourhood officers overheard two males discussing how to make money from selling drugs.
They also smelt what they believed to be cannabis being burnt.
A search of that flat and another premises was subsequently carried out under PACE and the officers located an amount of cash and vegetable matter which is thought to be cannabis a Class B controlled substance.
In all drugs in excess of £500 was seized together with an amount of cash.
Constable Aiden Meredith of Weymouth Police said " Drugs do have a detrimental effect on people's lives and there is a clear connection between drugs and crime. We will do all that we can to support drug users through other agency work and will take a strong and positive approach towards those who sell controlled substances"

And this is on top of the costs of the certification tests, which can range from $100 to $500 per test. With all this expense, the question I'm sure many an employer has asked is: Is it worth it?
Let's first explore some of the benefits and follow that up with what I think is a very viable alternative solution.
The certification(s) indicates that the employee has the dedication to pursue professional development outside of the arena of his or her full-time career. It shows a passion about her field of interest and for her personal development plan.
And when screening job applicants, certification has become an obvious litmus test for employers. When considering applicants with experience in the field, the one with certifications will often fare better because of the above-mentioned notions that accompany certifications.
And when looking for entry-level employees, many companies look for professional certifications to open the door to that potential first job. The earned certification is supposed to be the qualifier: proof to the employer that this prospective employee has the required aptitude to get the job done.
As an employer, you are expected to assume that, with this credential, the candidate has the minimum level of knowledge about the products he works with.
Also, as a business, you receive certain vendor incentives for having certified individuals on your team (such as being labeled a solutions provider with Microsoft).
These incentives may serve to comfort or impress your clients with the quality and technical expertise they hope to receive in their relationship with you.
Getting Burned
But in reality, do these letters after the employee's name really deliver on all that's promised?
In a word: No.
Using certification as a minimum aptitude is now a waste of time. There are countless ways to beat the certification testing system and just as many Web sites dedicated to just that.
These "brain-dump" sites (not to mention professional Web sites) make a living bucking the system. If a certification exists, it can be cheated on.
There are people that will study posted test questions for a couple of days, take the test, and pass. Most of these certification tests only require a C-average.
And while the majority of employees actually do seek certification to support continuous learning and to improve their own knowledge and performance, many seek certification for entirely different reasons altogether.
Some earn the certification to gain the financial token offered as incentive by the employer. Some earn it because they fear losing their job if they don't. And some earn it so that they may go find a more lucrative job elsewhere.
Yes, that's right. I mentioned that these certifications are costly and many in the IT field just can't afford to earn them. So it is quite common for an employee to specifically seek out a company that will pay for certification.
Once they certify, they move on to greener pastures because they want more money than the current employer is willing to give.
So, is it worth it to certify in your company? That depends on your motivation for encouraging the certifications. If you need to be able to show your clients and your public that you have a percentage of recruits who are safely and securely certified in order for them to maintain their faith or loyalty, by all means yes. Continue on with the certifying.
But if you are strongly urging your people to certify in hopes that you will have a top-notch, highly trained, special forces level of employees in your arsenal, my answer for you is no. Seek other training options.
The Four-Step Remedy
My dream solution for this education vs. certification battle is to offer four things within each company: ongoing education/training, community experience, trade magazines, and a computer lab.
Encourage ongoing education/training. Allow your employees to pursue excellence in the area that they are passionate about in the field. And offer similar encouragement to pursue topics that will foster excellence in their position in your company.
Provide classroom training in-house. Offer computer-based training (CBT). Approve funding when an employee takes the initiative to choose to attend a seminar or conference.

Now about Rumble. Who is Rumble you ask?
Rumble is an AP Caster/Bruiser who is usually seen at Solo Top Lane but can also go at Mid Lane. Rumble is also a rather tanky AP Caster (with the right items) just like Vladimir or Swain. He has amazing team fighting potential, incredible Crowd Control (with Rylai's Crystal Scepter) and a surprisingly big amount of damage. Well then..let's get ready to rumbleeeeeeee!!!
Change Log
30/8/2012 - Guide Created
9/9/2012 - Updated the Pros and Cons chapter. Now it has a bit more BB Coding (thanks jhoijhoi ^^)
12/9/2012 - Added Banners for every chapter
+ Tanky AP Caster
+ Low Cooldowns
+ Amazing Ultimate
+ God-Like slows with Rylai's Crystal Scepter
+ Awesome damage despite not going for pure damage
+ Good harasser
+ Shield that gives a movement speed buff which lets you escape ganks
+ Great Team Fighter
- Constant but not bursty damage
- No sustain without Hextech Revolver, Will of the Ancients or Hextech Gunblade
- Spamable but weak shield at early ranks
- Not really strong at levels 1, 2 and 3
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration
Greater Seal of Armor
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist
Greater Quintessence of Ability Power
These are great on Rumble. You'll be doing a deceptive amount of damage even at level 1 thanks to these and your Quints. There might be other choices for Marks but I believe these are the best Marks for Rumble.
Since you'll be going top most of the time you'll meet a lot of AD Bruisers at top. That's why going with Armor Seals is good on Rumble.
If I'm going top I would normally grab the Flat Magic Resist Glyphs cause you never know when you might meet another tanky AP Caster at top. I like being prepared for them. Even when going mid they are still useful since you're going against an enemy AP Caster. Another choice for Glyphs is FLat AP ones. They are good when you want to carry better.
Flat AP Quints give you a deceptive amount of damage early game. When I play Rumble Mid I almost always win cause the enemy caster underestimates my damage and starts being aggressive. Once he does that I just use my E to slow him and burn him with my Q for tons of damage.
There is a reason for this mastery setup. Rumble has enough damage early game thanks to the runes I run so just getting the Magic Penetration and Cooldown Reduction in offense is good enough for damage. The 3 AD makes last hitting easier.
The rest of the mastery points we put in defense. That way we will be very durable early game while still having a nice amount of damage.
Summoner Spells
This helps a lot when you want to grab a kill. Works well at either top or mid lane. You already have your Flamespitter so adding this to your arsenal will let you burn your enemies completely :P
Skill Sequence
At level 1 we grab our E for 3 reasons. We get to use it twice, we get a slow and damage from it and it gives the most damage at lvl 1 out of our abilities (if we manage to hit with it twice). After that we prioritize our Q for the damage it does at higher ranks. After Q we put more points in our W to make our shield stronger. Finally we max out E because even if we don't it's still good enough at rank 1. Obviously we get our Ultimate (R) whenever we can.
Skill Explanation
Rumble's abilities don't cost anything but generate 20 heat. When Rumble reaches 50 heat, he is in the "Danger Zone", causing all his basic spells to have additional effects. When Rumble reaches 100 heat he overheats, silencing himself for 6 seconds to cooldown completely and causing his physical attacks to deal an additional 20 + (5 x level) + (25% ability power) magic damage for the duration. While not overheated, after 4 seconds of not using his basic abilities he will start losing heat at a rate of 5 every half second, and 2.5 seconds later at a rate of 10 every half second.
This passive is very tricky. Properly utilizing it takes practice simply because if you don't know how to manage your heat you can overheat yourself at the wrong times and you'll just kill yourself. Even when you think it's the right time to overheat you could still be wrong depending on the situation. Only overheat yourself when you really need the bonus damage. The bonus damage is actually quite high at early levels. Take advantage of that.
Rumble begins torching the area in front of him with his flamethrower, dealing 30/53/77/100/123 (+45% of ability power) magic damage per second to all units in a cone in front of him for 3 seconds. He can move, attack and use other abilities while the flamethrower is on.
While in the "Danger Zone", this spell deals 30% additional damage.
Cooldown: 6 seconds
Your main source of damage, harass and your tool for farming. This does insane damage late game with enough ability power. Combined with Rylai's Crystal Scepter you can keep slowing your enemies for a really long amount of time. One cool trick you can pull off with this ability is to activate it and then use Zhonya's. Your Flamespitter will stay active while you're in stasis.
Rumble creates a shield blocking 50 / 80 / 110 / 140 / 170 (+40% of ability power) incoming damage for 2 seconds, in addition Rumble receives a 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30% movement speed boost for 1 second.
While in the "Danger Zone", the shield's strength and movement speed boost are increased by 30%.
Cooldown: 6 seconds
This is an awesome ability for several reasons. It is a shield and everyone loves shields, you can escape ganks with it, you can chase with it, it has a low cooldown and it's ability power ratio is not bad at all. When forcing trades use this to block off some damage.
Rumble shoots a taser that deals 55 / 85 / 115 / 145 / 175 (+50% of ability power) magic damage and applies a 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35% slow on the enemy hit for three seconds. A second shot can be fired for no additional cost within the next three seconds. The slows from these two tasers can stack with themselves and the duration will be refreshed with the second hit.
While in the "Danger Zone", the damage and slow percentage are increased by 30%.
Cooldown 10 seconds
This is awesome to slow down your enemies even without Rylai's the slow is quite strong. With Rylai's the slow is just brutal. You can use this to kite or harass in lane. Also it's important to note that if you use this 1 time and get yourself overheated you can still use it a 2nd time. This can also be used to steal Baron/Dragon.
Rumble's Ultimate has it's own chapter right below this one.
The Equailizer a.k.a The Best Ultimate (in my opinion)
Rumble calls down a line of rockets over the target linear location, it uses click and drag targeting. The rockets deal an initial 150 / 225 / 350 (+50% of ability power) magic damage to all enemies hit on arrival, and also leave a trail of destruction for 5 seconds that slows by 35% and deals 100/140/180 (+20% of ability power) magic damage per second to all enemies standing on the area.
This ability does not generate heat.
Cooldown 105/90/75 seconds
This is it! In my opinion this is the best Ultimate in the game! There are other amazing Ultimates as well but this one is the best! Why you ask? Because:
- It has a low cooldown at higher ranks
- No cost
- Huge Range
- Awesome Damage
- Huge Slow with Rylai's Crystal Scepter
- Amazing Team Fighting power
Yup..it has a lot of benefits. The only thing that it is missing in this Ultimate is high amount of burst. It still does awesome damage but not amazing damage like a Fizz Ultimate. So with that said here is what you can use this Ultimate for:
- Someone survived on 10 hp? This has insane range. Use this to kill him.
- Block off people from escaping you
- Team Fights
- Duels
- Baron/Dragon steals
This Ultimate is exceptional when you're fighting in small areas or closed spaces where it's hard for the enemies to walk away from it. Here are some tips for this Ultimate:
- Try to hit all 5 of your enemies with this
- Be sure to aim well and don't just fire it at a random location
- If a team fight is approaching don't waste this Ultimate to get 1 kill. Save it. This Ultimate alone can win you games.
- Don't hesitate to use this for a Baron/Dragon steal. Yes you shouldn't waste it like that but Baron/Dragon is worth it cause the cooldown is not that long.
My apologies to fellow Rumble players. I sometimes aim this horribly and by doing this I'm disrespecting and throwing away this Ultimate's power. I'll try and learn how to aim with it better. I promise! ^^
Starting Items
In-general these should be your choice for boots. Rumble needs to stay active during team fights and these boots will help you reduce some of that nasty Crowd Control the enemy team might have. These are also great when going Mid due to the Magic Resist.
These are good mainly when going Top against a heavy AD Bruiser like Riven. They are also good if the enemy team has a lot of physical damage dealers.
I haven't tried these on Rumble and I probably never will because I don't like playing Rumble as an AP Carry but if you wanna be silly and carry hard then get these.
Update: I tried these lol. They're good when your enemies are getting magic resist. If not stick with Mercury Treads against CC/AP or Ninja Tabi against Physical Damage.
Core Items
The most important item to get on Rumble. Seriously this is the best item for Rumble. Not only does it provide a nice amount of HP it gives your spamable Q a slow, your E that already has one an increase to that slow and your Ultimate which also already slows an even stronger slow. This item combined with Rumble's kit is the reason why people say Rumble is a gay champion. He can just slow for so much with his abilities combined with Rylai's. So yeah..always..ALWAYS get this on Rumble. I don't care if you're going AD, Tanky, Support, Carry or whatever the hell you're going...always get this.
God this item is so good on Rumble. Not as good as Rylai's but still amazing for him. Not only will you give your AP Caster (if you're Top) some extra ability power you will also gain Spell Vamp which is what will sustain you in the laning phase. I usually grab this as my 3rd item. I get Hextech Revolver early since I still need some sustain but get this later on after my Rylai's.
This item here is what you'll need to increase your damage output tremendously. Rumble has decent damage without this but with it his damage is way stronger. I usually get this as my 4th item for more late game damage but you can grab this as your 3rd item and Will of the Ancients as your 4th one if you wanna carry harder.
Other Item Choices
This item is useful when you need some extra armor and more burst to bring down a fed physical damage dealer on the enemy team or if you just need to be more tanky cause the enemy team has too much physical damage. The activation is also very good for escaping sticky situations. Overall a good item on Rumble.
Note: If you cast Flamespitter and use ZHonyas' activation Flamespitter will continue to damage enemies for the full duration of the ability.
Also a great item on Rumble. Makes you more durable against AP Casters and their burst and lowers their Magic Resist which will help you in bringing them down. The bonus AP is also nice to have.
Err...haven't really seen a lot of Rumbles use this...I guess it's okay to have late game but Zhonyas' activation has a shorter cooldown than GA's revive so I prefer Zhonya's. Still this item could work.
Another item that I still haven't used on Rumble. Rumble is melee so getting this might actually work. The activation helps out as well so this item is good on Rumble in my opinion and I'll probably give it a try sometime. If you do get this you might wanna replace it with Will of the Ancients.
Laning Phase and Team Fights
Laning Phase
Laning Phase on Rumble can be both easy and hard. Rumble's first 3 levels are kinda hard against aggressive opponents. You want to last hit with your abilities but from a distance so you won't get harassed. If you get to level 4 without taking too much damage then you've done well. At level 4 your playstyle should change. You want to become a bully at level 4. Kite your opponent with your E and use Q on him for damage. After that just escape with your shield and you're all good. Keep repeating this process until you force the enemy laner out of lane. That way you deny him last hits and experience while gaining some of your own.
Team Fights
Team Fights for Rumble are pretty straightforward:
- Hit as much people as possible with The Equalizer
- Focus the carries by constantly slowing them down and damaing them. If you're getting focused for it don't commit to it too much and get outta there.
- If your team doesn't have a lot of Crowd Control make sure to peel for your AP and AD carries if they get focused too much. You can do that simply by slowing enemies with your abilities (this'll be easier with Rylai's)
More about Rumble
If you're looking for more info about Rumble keep reading:
- Rumble was designed by FeralPony
- Rumble and Corki are the only yordles that ride something
- Rumble's mech is named "Tristy"
- Rumble is voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz, Who also voices Ziggs
- Rumble, Xerath and Varus are the only champions able to inflict crowd control effects on themselves
- Rumble's name and attitude resemble that of Rumble, a trash-talking villain from the Transformers
Rumble's Story:
Even amongst yordles, Rumble was always the runt of the litter. As such, he was used to being bullied. In order to survive, he had to be scrappier and more resourceful than his peers. He developed a quick temper and a reputation for getting even, no matter who crossed him. This made him something of a loner, but he didn't mind. He liked to tinker, preferring the company of gadgets, and he could usually be found rummaging through the junkyard. He showed great potential as a mechanic. His teachers recommended him for enrollment at the Yordle Academy of Science and Progress in Piltover, where he may very well have become one of Heimerdinger's esteemed protégés, but Rumble refused to go. He believed that Heimerdinger and his associates were "sellouts", trading superior yordle technology to humans for nothing more than a pat on the head while yordles remained the butt of their jokes.
When a group of human graduates from the Yordle Academy sailed to Bandle City to visit the place where their mentor was born and raised, Rumble couldn't resist the temptation to see them face-to-face (so to speak). He only intended to get a good look at the humans, but four hours and several choice words later, he returned home bruised and bloodied with an earful about how he was an embarrassment to "enlightened" yordles like Heimerdinger. The next morning he left Bandle City without a word, and wasn't seen again for months. When he returned, he was at the helm of a clanking, mechanized monstrosity. He marched it to the center of town amidst dumbfounded onlookers and there announced that he would join the League of Legends to show the world what yordle-tech was really capable of, without hiding behind a foreign banner.

New hemp plants bred to have increased oleic acid for enhanced cooking properties
The scientists, from the University of York, used fast-track molecular plant breeding, selected hemp plants that lacked the active enzyme responsible for creating polyunsaturated fatty acids. Instead, they used varieties that accumulate higher levels of monounsaturated oleic acid. The plant-breeding research is published in the journal Plant Biotechnology and outlines techniques to develop hemp plant breeds deemed "High oleic Hemp," which could be introduced commercially as an attractive break crop for cereal farmers.
This new cooking oil could possess a longer shelf life with greater heat tolerance and be similar to olive oil in oleic acid content, making it suitable for many more industrial applications.
The new "High oleic Hemp" is 80 percent oleic acid, which trumps regular hemp oils containing just 10 percent. This will give the oil more thermal stability that is five times greater than normal, natural hemp oil. The new hemp oil could be more useful in high-temperature industrial processes.
Breeding hemp in this way limits other key components of the plant
As the agricultural sector looks to finally embrace valuable hemp farming, they will do so using a select, scientifically established breed of hemp. The natural composition ofhemp, producing 80 percent polyunsaturated fat, hass the most polyunsaturated fat among vegetable seed oils known in the plant kingdom. The new agricultural breeding process will reverse all that. The new high-oleic hemp breed will provide increased oleic acid content that stems from breeding techniques that help the hemp plant produce more omega-9 fatty acids. This will alter the plant's properties, limiting its composition of beneficial polyunsaturated fats.
As scientists breed hemp varieties without polyunsaturated fat content, the overall value of the plant for human health is rearranged. With its increased oleic acid content, it may be good for industrial purposes, but this increase in oleic acid content steers the plant away from producing other key offerings. One of the sacrifices includes the loss of polyunsaturated fats, which means that essential fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6 acids could be limited. These fatty acids are not produced by the body but are needed, especially for cell membrane production. They also are used to produce prostaglandin, which aids the body's inflammatory functions. The change may be insignificant, however, since humans rarely receive beneficial omega-9 fatty acids, which will be increased in the new breed.
Europe to welcome "High oleic Hemp" in 2014 field tests
The new "High oleic Hemp" will be openly welcomed in the UK, where farming of oilseed rape has declined recently due to pests and disease. To maintain cereal yields, the UK and other European countries may embrace the "High oleic Hemp" as a quality oilalternative.
With its many other uses, hemp will be a great crop choice for farmers. The hemp straw can alternatively be used as fiber for composites, bedding, wax, biomass and textiles.
"The new line represents a major improvement in hemp as an oil crop. Similar developments in soybean and oilseed rape have opened up new markets for these crops, due to the perceived healthiness and increased stability of their oil," says Professor Ian Graham, from York University's Centre for Novel Agricultural Products Biology Department.
The "High oleic Hemp" is set to be planted in 2014 throughout Europe, as field trials launch a new era of farming. This may be good news for agriculture, industry and cooking processes for people around the world.

4. The rivers of the flood thereof shall make glad the city of God : the holy place of the tabernacle of the most Highest.
5. God is in the midst of her, therefore shall she not be removed : God shall help her, and that right early.
6. The heathen make much ado, and the kingdoms are moved : but God hath shewed his voice, and the earth shall melt away.
7. The Lord of hosts is with us : the God of Jacob is our refuge.
8. O come hither, and behold the works of the Lord : what destruction he hath brought upon the earth.
9. He maketh wars to cease in all the world : he breaketh the bow, and knappeth the spear in sunder, and burneth the chariots in the fire.
10. Be still then, and know that I am God : I will be exalted among the heathen, and I will be exalted in the earth.
11. The Lord of hosts is with us : the God of Jacob is our refuge.

3. He shall subdue the people under us : and the nations under our feet.
4. He shall choose out an heritage for us : even the worship of Jacob, whom he loved.
5. God is gone up with a merry noise : and the Lord with the sound of the trump.
6. O sing praises, sing praises unto our God : O sing praises, sing praises unto our King.
7. For God is the King of all the earth : sing ye praises with understanding.
8. God reigneth over the heathen : God sitteth upon his holy seat.

Watch the official music video for Bananarama - Shy Boy (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)
"Shy Boy" is a song recorded by English girl group Bananarama. It appears on their 1983 debut album Deep Sea Skiving and was released as its second single. It was written and produced by the production team of Steve Jolley and Tony Swain and marked the first in a long line of studio collaborations between them and Bananarama. The song is rumoured to be a tribute to teenaged London pirate radio comedian Mark Gould; whom Bananarama subsequently demanded as their Christmas present for 1983 on the Christmas edition of BBC1's Show Business programme, which was broadcast on Friday 16 December 1983.Released in summer 1982, "Shy Boy" became the third consecutive single by Bananarama to hit the top-five, reaching number four in the UK singles chart. It also was a success in Australia, where it reached number two, becoming their first top 40 hit in that country. Top-ten success also followed in New Zealand and Canada. "Shy Boy" charted well on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart and was the first of Bananarama's singles to dent the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number eighty-three.

There was a time in my life where, had you mentioned the phrase "baby pink", it may well have induced the gag reflex. But those days are behind me; the revolt against pastel has ended and these days the abolitionists have swung over to the other side!
We are in the golden era of soft, gentler tones… and the beautiful "pink quartz" is anything but wishy-washy. My favourite contemporary pairing of this shade is with the metallic tone of copper or rose gold. These metals have a pink undertone to their lustre which plays so nicely off the pink:
Pink Quartz Interiors Colour Inspiration
Another way of contemporizing this colour is to use the cool, clinical texture of marble or the punch of teal or mustard as a balance to the airiness of this tone. So if you have a painting job in mind this Heritage Day, why not consider Pink Quartz interiors as your colour of choice…

A tin hat has long been a necessary part of the banking chief executive's uniform. On Wednesday, Antony Jenkins will probably need some Kevlar body protection as well.
The chief executive of Barclays knows he's in for a tricky ride as his critics pore over his institution's annual report. In it will be statistics revealing that the number of executives paid more than £1m has risen markedly above the 428 figure of last year. The number paid more than £5m is also up – though from a much smaller base of just five.
This, the critics will say, is just the latest example of why banks cannot be trusted. Mr Jenkins is surely the same Antony Jenkins who, in the 2012 Annual Report, said it was essential that the bank brought down its cost-to-income ratio. Since then, with profits down and bonuses up, that ratio has travelled in the opposite direction, albeit slowly.
Those critics should pause and think a little. The fact that Mr Jenkins agreed to increase the remuneration total this year, despite his earlier plans, reveals the threat the investment bank was facing.
Chief executives, on the whole, do not enjoy saying one thing one year and a different thing the next.
Mr Jenkins has now admitted that this year's remuneration decision was the "toughest" he has faced in his time as Barclays chief executive.
It was a decision – taken in tandem with the board – that was based on the answer to a simple question: does Barclays want to retain its position as a global leader in investment banking?
Mr Jenkins and the board took the sensible route. With the Royal Bank of Scotland pulling back to the UK – under political pressure – it has become all the more important that Barclays maintains its leading US position. That was under threat as hundreds of investment banking staff left, creating the danger, as Mr Jenkins so aptly put it, of a "death spiral".
It wasn't only the earlier decision to cut compensation in comparison with its peer group that put the investment bank at risk. The European Union's woefully misguided bonus cap also had a negative effect – reducing the opportunity to offer the best performers high levels of variable reward.
If he is honest with himself, it is probable Mr Jenkins will agree that his 2012 attempt to push Barclays into the lower quartile of pay was too political, and too much too soon.
As he says in his interview with The Telegraph: "I don't think the anger around investment banking in the UK should guide our strategic decision making."
Investors, who have largely held their noses through this process and supported Barclays' direction of travel, will now want to see results.
Mr Jenkins has again reiterated his desire to see return on equity at the bank increase above the cost of capital.
Britain needs a global investment bank able to compete with the likes of JP Morgan and Citi. Mr Jenkins made the right decision on increasing remuneration – in investment banking, individuals matter whatever the cynics might say.
Now, he has to ensure they deliver.
Glencore results lay bare 'merger'
When first presented to investors in January 2012, it all sounded so warm and friendly.
A nil-premium merger, a merger of equals, old friends Ivan Glasenberg and Mick Davis working together, hand in hand.
The proposed tie-up between Xstrata and Glencore sounded too good to be true – because it was.
The wheels soon started to fall off as investors quickly realised that what was being proposed was in effect a takeover without a control premium.
There were many elements that disgruntled investors – not least the £140m of retention packages for key Xstrata staff, who clearly saw the writing on the wall earlier than most.
But the fact that what appeared to be on offer was a Glencore takeover of Xstrata on the cheap did not amuse City stalwarts.
By the autumn of 2012, a deal started to emerge which looked more likely – a higher share ratio for Xstrata investors, but Glasenberg – rather than Davis – in the chief executive's seat.
If any investors had been under any doubt that this is what Glasenberg wanted all along, Tuesday's full-year results from the enlarged Glencore-Xstrata should have put pay to those doubts.
Not only have Glencore men taken all the top jobs, the next tier of senior management is populated by his lieutenants' lieutenants.
That is perhaps no surprise. But the $2.4bn of synergies is more than three times the $700m it was first thought could be found by combining the pair. Mr Glasenberg's eye on detail means that the synergies found has not just saved money on headcount and expenses.
A bottom-up review of the two company's assets has meant the suspension of in excess of 40 different projects, on the basis that they were not able to generate sufficient returns. That process has also led to the identification of assets for sale, a process which is likely to continue.
By the time Glasenberg is done, it would perhaps not be surprising if synergies across the business were closer to $3bn, a remarkable effort and a sign of just how valuable the deal was for Glencore investors.
But that figure, when it is announced later this year, will also only serve to highlight why Xstrata investors should have pushed Glasenberg and his board that little bit harder when it came to demanding a takeover premium.
Ballmer says what many are thinking
It's hard not to raise a smile at the news that former Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer is questioning the wisdom of splashing out $19bn for a company few had even heard of not so long ago.
Facebook's acquisition of messaging platform WhatsApp certainly divided opinion. Many saw it as ultimate proof that Silicon Valley had lost all connection with reality – the surest sign of a dotcom bubble.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg insists, however, WhatsApp is worth significantly more than $19bn because it will help billions of people to access the internet. He may be right, of course – he doesn't make too many duff calls.
But the fact that Mr Ballmer has pondered out loud what many have been thinking – are the Emperor's new clothes all that they seem? – is somehow reassuring.

From Intern to Coordinator, a step-by-step journey
A short while ago, I wrote a piece for Grad's Corner on realising your full potential. In it, I described my journey from a confused student with no set career goals to a determined student with vague-but-optimistic career goals – which, to be honest, felt like a tremendous improvement.
Now that I have gone a bit further along this path, I'd like to reflect on this journey again, and hopefully share some of the insights I picked up along the way.
The Internship I mentioned in my previous blog was for an organisation within my University, GUEST (Glasgow University Environmental Sustainability Team). It was voluntary and it involved bits of graphic design, marketing and events management.
However, I became so involved with the team and committed to our goals, that by the end of my internship I had a voice in the decision-making process that decided what the paid roles for the new year would be.
Having identified some areas for improvement, I have proposed a new Communications role to be set up, for which I successfully applied once it was opened up to new applicants. This has been an amazing opportunity, which I felt truly rewarded my previous hard work.
Being a new role, while I had been given set aims and objectives, it was up to me to decide how to fulfil them. After a while, I realised that internal communications was the area that interested me most. It was quite a challenging new venture, as we had some very serious miscommunication problems.
I therefore took the time to explore the situation and listen to the team to identify what they needed, as well as taking advantage of every opportunity to learn from my peers and our advisers from within the University.
Soon enough, I discovered that what made me happiest in my role was to support the rest of the team so that they could fulfil their tasks with as few roadblocks as possible. It might not be the most glamorous job – to keep minutes, compile fortnightly reports, draft guidelines and research SMART targets for communication strategies, while others were organising bike rides, cooking classes and starting new community gardens on campus.
But what was truly exciting was seeing the individual team members working together, sharing skills and resources, concerting their efforts to build something larger than the individual aims of their branches. And the feeling that I played a part, no matter how small, in making that happen was absolutely priceless.
After that year, I was encouraged by some of my colleagues to apply for one of the Coordinator positions – which is my current role within the team, alongside two other amazing fellow students. What I aim to do now is take everything that I learned during my time as the Communications Promoter and apply it further as part of what I jokingly call the 'hugs for everyone' approach.
That is not to say that I aim to be the creepy person invading everyone's space, but rather the listening ear, the one who is always there to provide a helping hand, chase some leads or find ways around dead-ends. If you're wondering where this story has been going all along, there were 3 points that I was trying to make:
- 1) If you believe in something, use that passion to fuel your hard work: I don't think I would have thrived in any other internship as much as I have working within GUEST.
- Although when I started I did not know nearly enough about Climate Change, Environmentalism and Sustainability, I had a clear interest in these areas, interest that has since grown so much that it now my main focus in all my endeavours, be they professional, academic or personal.
- 2) Be open to new ideas and have the courage to explore possibilities: when I received my aims and objectives for the Communications role, they mostly had to with PR, marketing, social media tasks.
However, I saw no reason not to dig deeper and tackle the issues that were closest to my heart, such as team identity and cohesion, which is what brought me the most satisfaction. 3) Identify what you're good at and don't hesitate to think outside the box when applying your skills: I'm now supposed to coordinate three branches, each with its own projects.
This entails liaising with University departments, networking, making connections, facilitating dialogue etc. However, my personality is still not bubbly and I am not particularly talkative either.
I have been a listener and a person of few words all my life. But I can still get my job done, because I care about each individual member of the team and with their best interests at heart, I can offer the support they need.
All in all, I do not consider myself in any position to give career advice and I am extremely aware of how lucky I have been to have been offered the opportunity to work for a good cause with wonderful people while studying. But I cannot end this piece any differently from last time: no matter what life throws at you, do not, ever, give up on what you yearn for. And never be put off by failure, as it is the most important part of the learning process.

PLAYING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD: WASHINGTON HEIGHTS; Just About Everyone Gets Into the Act
Published: June 12, 1994
"THIS neighborhood is usually in the news for racial conflicts," said Steve Zeitlin, the executive director of City Lore, an arts organization dedicated to preserving urban culture. "We want people to come together in Washington Heights for peaceful purposes."
That's the goal of a music, food and crafts festival that will fill the Morris-Jumel Mansion and Park today from noon to 6 P.M. Among the performers will be a band called Asadife, which plays African-Dominican music; the greater Metro Klezmer Band, which specializes in Eastern European Jewish music; Casym, a Trinidadian steel band, and Los Pleneros de la 21, pictured at left, which plays Puerto Rican bomba y plena.
Dominican, African, Jewish and Irish foods will be sold, and a crafts tent will have a demonstration of doll making, complete with costumes. There will be readings of Caribbean, Hispanic and black American children's stories, as well as ghost stories based on the history of the Revolutionary War-era mansion.
