The main reason for using Firewalls in these architectures is to make sure that unauthorized sources do not send info through the firewall. Also to make sure that even the authorized sources only send the proper information through the firewall. As has been discussed on the MEGACO list, the best way to authenticate and authorize is to use IPsec. This has absolutely nothing to do with inspecting the internal payload of the packet. The only functions that can fully inspect the internals of the packet are the MG and MGC. Not the firewall.

Last Oct. 4 was a tense but thrilling day in the Yascko household as young Matt – though only a freshman – was going to be granted his first varsity start at quarterback for Edison High.
Mom would no doubt be there in in the stands at Sayreville to watch her son take snaps against the powerhouse Bombers. Youngster sister, Lindsay, would also be there to cheer on her precocious older brother.
And Dad? Well, Dad (also Matt) would be in Carteret that same evening watching his own Greater Middlesex Conference football team square off against Iselin Kennedy.
"That game was a wreck for me," Papa Yascko said. "He was nervous, my wife (Christy) was nervous, and I couldn't help them because I was out coaching. That was a tough one."
For the record, young Matt Yascko played exceptionally well for an initial start in that 9-6 loss, completing 13 of 22 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown.
There still may be tough days ahead for the younger Yascko as he prepares for his sophomore season with the Eagles in the newly formed Big Central Football Conference. But from now on, his father will be considerably closer than a few towns away the next time those nerves set in.
Yascko stepped down as Carteret head coach Wednesday after 14 seasons, and will become Edison's offensive coordinator under longtime head coach Matt Fulham. Yascko also has resigned his position as suspension facilitator at Carteret High to become an attendance investigator with the Edison public schools.
Curiously, that same night, Carteret Superintendent of Schools Rosa Diaz announced at that district's board of education meeting that Carteret would cancel its entire fall athletic season due to concern over the coronavirus. Yascko said he was unaware that decision would be made.
Both that announcement and Yascko's resignation were first reported by myCentralJersey.com.
"That was kind of a crazy coincidence that it happened the same night, same day; I had no inkling," he said.
"It was time. We had a good run, but it was time for me to move on and for them to get a new voice," Yasko said. No replacement has been named. "Thankfully, Matt (Fulham) offered me a position on his staff where I can work with my son. It's kind of a no-brainer, my being able to coach and also watch him play football."
The younger Yascko wound up completing 89 of 158 passes for 1,065 yards and seven touchdowns, with five interceptions in six starts. Edison was 2-3 with Yascko under center in the Eagles' spread offense to finish 4-6 overall.
Carteret was 2-8, which kept them out of the NJSIAA playoff picture, tough did give Dad a chance to watch Edison face Lenape in the first round in South, Group 5. Lenape won, 39-6.
In his 14 seasons at Carteret, Yascko compiled an 82-67 record and guided the Ramblers to the Central Jersey, Group 2 championship in 2007 and 2012. His 2014 squad finished 8-4 and lost in the Central, Group 3 final to Matawan.
While the older Yascko said he can't wait to get started in his new role, it would not even have been a consideration if his son wasn't fully on board with this move.
"When this was a thought early on, I made my wife ask him if he'd be OK with it. If he wasn't comfortable with it or he didn't want me, I would made sure I didn't do it," Yascko said. "He was all for it."
Yascko already has coached his son – and all of his sports-playing buddies – for many years in both Pop Warner and Little League. Young Matt also played freshman basketball for Edison last winter and was on the baseball team before the spring season was canceled March 12.
"I've coached him pretty much the whole way, so we've always had a pretty good relationship as coach and player," Yascko said. "But if he wasn't OK with it, I wasn't doing it."
As the younger Yascko gets used to running plays again for his dad, the father has to better acquaint himself with Edison's fast-paced spread offense. Carteret has always run a more conservative multiple-I offense under Yascko.
"I love it. I told my son, 'Wait until I get there, you're going to be handing the ball off a lot," Yascko said. "He said, 'Don't come.' "
"But the spread fits in well with Edison's talent," Yascko said. "And it's easier to adapt to them then to get 80 kids to adapt to me, so we'll figure it out.
"They were blessed with a very good receiving corps last year, which made life easier for Matt," Yascko said of 2020 graduates Ty Martin and Emanuel Davis, rising senior Zak Nasser and rising sophomore Malcolm Stansbury.
"They have some good talent back, for sure," he said. "Young up front, but having kids who can make plays with the ball on their hands is important, and it looked like they've got some of them."

World Bulletin / News Desk
Today marks the 24th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide against the ethnic Tutsis in which a million people had lost their lives in a period of only 100 days.
"There are four reasons that could be attributed to the cause of the genocide against the Tutsi. The first is a colonial influence, the second is bad politics by the Rwandan state, the third failed political leadership in the state, and the fourth is the indifference of the international community," said Williams Nkurunziza, Rwanda's ambassador to Turkey, in an interview with Anadolu Agency.
The genocide, in which nearly one million people were killed, took place between hardliner Hutus and minority Tutsis after the death of Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana and Burundian President Cyprien Ntaryamira in a plane crash on April 6, 1994.
The genocide killed a million people and displaced another million, forcing two million more people to flee the country.
Nkurunziza blamed the UN for failing to stop the genocide. "Instead of providing more people to help stop the genocide they [UN] take their people out."
In a report released on Dec. 13, 2017, the Rwandan government blamed the then French officials, besides the negligence of the international community.
"The French military forces trained their Rwandan counterparts, supplied them with weapons even after an arms embargo, and gave cover, under the auspices of a United Nations-sanctioned humanitarian mission, in the last moments of a genocidal campaign," it said.
Nkurunziza underlined the colonial factors to the genocide against the Tutsis and said: "Before colonialism, Rwanda was a unitary state. We are one people, we speak one language, and we share the same culture. But with colonialism, the issue of ethnicity became a tool to control the Rwandan state. They fabricated artificial ethnic differences."
He pointed out that the techniques used to discriminate the Tutsis in an "inhuman way" were not simple discriminatory policies rather more sophisticated scientific techniques.
The ambassador said allowing those techniques to operate in the country after independence was a wrong decision.Güncelleme Tarihi: 06 Nisan 2018, 17:05

Ala. considers felony charges for evading police to prevent crashes, deaths
Over 532 people were killed in police pursuit crashes in 2020 alone, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
By Michael Wetzel
The Decatur Daily
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — When some motorists look in the rearview mirror and see a law enforcement vehicle's lights flashing, they don't pull over.
They try to get away.
If the flight is successful, the motorist may avoid a traffic citation or a serious charge from a pending warrant or having drugs in the vehicle. If caught, the additional charge for eluding police in Alabama is only a Class A misdemeanor charge, with a penalty of up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $6,000. Only if a third party is injured or killed during the attempt to elude does it become a Class C felony, in which case the offender's driver's license is suspended for six months to two years.
A local lawmaker wants to change that equation by increasing the legal consequences of fleeing, and he has support from area law enforcement agencies in his attempt to impose harsher penalties for drivers running from the law. Rep. Scott Stadthagen, R-Hartselle, said he plans to at least co-sponsor a bill that will make the act of attempting to elude law enforcement a Class C felony charge when the Legislature reconvenes in March.
Rep. Ginny Shaver, R-Leesburg, sponsored such a bill in the last session and while it received House passage, the measure ran out of time in the Senate and died.
"Laws are on the books to protect the public," Stadthagen said. "This year we are going to make sure it goes through, just because all of the lives you put at risk during the pursuit."
A bicyclist was injured in July when a police pursuit along Interstate 65 went all the way from Priceville to Decatur. The cyclist was struck by the fleeing vehicle near Beltline Road Southwest at Spring Avenue. The cyclist was fortunate in that case, suffering only minor injuries, according to police reports. Two people in the car being pursued were arrested.
Stadthagen said some offenders are beating the current system.
"If they have enough drugs in the car to be a felony, they know they can run away from the officer, get far enough away, throw the drugs out and when they get pulled over it is just a misdemeanor," he said. "The risk to our citizens, the risk to our officers — it should be a felony, hands down."
State Sen. Arthur Orr, R-Decatur, said he supported the Shaver bill in committee and will do so again.
"I am open to dialogue from law enforcement agencies and prosecutors and any modifications they think necessary," he said. "But in principle, people who endanger others after committing a felony or driving at reckless speeds should not receive a misdemeanor/slap on the wrist as a penalty."
Law enforcement officials are on board with a tougher stance toward drivers who flee officers. Local sheriffs said they have called off some vehicle pursuits because the public could be in harm's way.
"We assess the situation in a car chase. Where is it? What time of day? We make a decision to terminate the chase or not," Limestone Sheriff Joshua McLaughlin said. "I've called off about three (chases) in the past year. We don't want to push a chase through a school zone or into high-volume traffic. But I believe the law (change) is long overdue here. Tennessee did something like this over a decade ago. I hope the law is written with some very stiff penalties."
Mississippi and Georgia both have laws in which fleeing police is a misdemeanor under some circumstances, but is a felony if the attempt to elude endangers others. In Tennessee, fleeing police is a misdemeanor unless the defendant uses a vehicle, in which case it is a felony. Fleeing in a vehicle is also a felony in Florida.
McLaughlin said the Limestone County Sheriff's Office has had an officer injured and a patrol car totaled in pursuits in the past couple of years.
He called the misdemeanor charge for a motorist attempting to elude police "not an appropriate penalty."
Under Stadthagen's plan, a conviction for attempting to elude police would be a felony on the same level as third-degree robbery, first-degree stalking or breaking and entering a vehicle. A Class C felony conviction in Alabama brings punishment of up to 10 years in state prison.
Morgan County Sheriff Ron Puckett said recently his department had been involved in 14 pursuits of fleeing motorists in 2022. Last year, his officers were involved in 26, and there were 23 in 2020, he said. Puckett said the numbers would be higher except public safety concerns rule out some chases.
"Running from law enforcement endangers lives, the motoring public, people working or playing in the yard," he said. "Law enforcement, we try to be very selective of pursuits. We don't pursue everybody who runs from us. The problem is the vehicle we're chasing. They have no regard for the public going through traffic signals. If they are running, many are already felons. Having another felony on them is nothing to them. Making it a felony will reduce the number of pursuits law enforcement encounters, but it won't stop everybody."
He said he would like to see a provision in the bill that would cover young, inexperienced drivers.
"I don't want a 16-, 17-, 18-year-old kid to be charged or convicted of a felony. There has to be some leeway for them. If they're scared (and flee), that's a juvenile act," Puckett said. "I think most judges would do that in court. It's not about trying to put people in jail. It's about trying to reduce the number of pursuits law enforcement is involved in."
Dangers of pursuits
Puckett said pursuits endanger officers as well as the public because fleeing drivers often turn onto roads they're unfamiliar with.
"Sometimes they don't know where they're going," Puckett said. "They're running."
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at least 532 people were killed in police pursuit crashes in 2020, the last year the agency has full data. Its website also noted, "At least one, and as many as 10, occupants of police vehicles have died during pursuits each year since the mid-1980s."
Decatur Police Chief Todd Pinion said the Legislature will have his support in toughening the law on fleeing police.
"Putting it up to a felony will stop some people from taking off," he said. "It won't stop everybody though. If they've just committed a murder, they are not going to stop, but those fleeing because of a simple traffic violation or drug possession, it might slow them down. ... "In general, a pursuit can be one of the most dangerous things we do."
Lawrence County Sheriff Max Sanders said his officers recently were joined by Alabama state troopers and Courtland police in the Langtown area in a 10- to 15-minute pursuit of a young motorist who refused to pull over for having an expired license tag.
"We caught him when he turned down a dead-end road near the city lake," Sanders said. "Somebody could get seriously injured in a chase like that."
The sheriff said the driver, a man in his 20s, also had a small amount of marijuana in his possession. He said a Courtland police vehicle was slightly damaged in the chase.
"We had another one (recently). The chase started in Danville in Morgan County and came over here. The kid flipped the car and ran off, but we caught him," Sanders said.
He said most people eluding are attempting to hide something and breaking more laws, running red lights and stop signs along the way. "That is where the danger comes in," he added.
Sanders said changing the eluding law enforcement penalty to a felony will get some people's attention, but not others.
"If you have somebody breaking the law running, he isn't going to be thinking about what the law is. He's not thinking about the consequences," he said.
Rep. Proncey Robertson, R-Mount Hope, who spent 27 years in law enforcement before becoming a legislator in 2018, said he has stopped thousands of traffic violators and when they decide to flee instead the pursuit can become "a very dangerous situation."
"It's not unreasonable for it to become a felony," he said. "Many times there are terrible outcomes. ... It's a decision they made to run. A felony comes along with that decision."
Morgan County District Attorney Scott Anderson said making the law a felony will hopefully have an impact. "It should be a felony for anyone who intentionally increases that danger. We all have members of our families who travel the streets and roads of Morgan County every day. Anyone who places them in harm's way by attempting to elude the consequences of their crime should face a felony conviction and incarceration."
Opposition to change
Not everybody is in favor of a law making eluding law enforcement a felony.
Marcus Echols, chairman of the Lawrence County Democratic Party, said Blacks and other minorities might be treated unfairly especially in rural Lawrence County.
"I don't think it should be a felony on non-violent and misdemeanor type activities," he said. "It's just about putting more people in prison. Gov. (Kay) Ivey is building more prisons, and they've got to fill them up. This law will help do just that. People of all colors need to brace themselves if this idea becomes a law."
He said some motorists seeing blue lights in their rearview mirror will keep driving until they can find a well-lit area. "Many people already don't trust the police. Now you want them to be charged with a felony if they don't stop. I don't think that's good for anyone," he said.
Stadthagen said his bill won't include exceptions for age or race.
"Lady justice doesn't discriminate on race or gender or age. We have the law for the protection of the people of Alabama. If you elude and put everybody's life in danger, it doesn't matter your skin color, your gender. You are breaking the law, putting lives in danger and you need to be held accountable," he said. "If you are driving erratic and kill somebody. If that person is that scared, they don't need to have a driver's license. If they can't follow the law, they don't need to be behind the steering wheel."

 == Project Goals ==
 The goal of Project Byzantium is to develop a communication system by which users can connect to each other and share information in the absence of convenient access to the Internet.

 The use cases for such a system would be:
 # The infrastructure for accessing the internet has become damaged or inaccessible. (Eg, a natural disaster such as Hurricane Katrina.)
 # A central authority has decided to explicitly block or shutdown key infrastructure. (Eg, Egypt's recent internet blackout.)
 # A zombie apocalypse in which the personnel responsible for maintaining key infrastructure have all been turned.

 The project aims to develop and publish the necessary documentation, best practices, and software to construct and support such a system. Our current approach is to start by investigating and documenting the existing technologies which would support such a system. In particular, mesh networking protocols, wireless networking technologies, and decentralized (or less-centralized) alternatives to internet addressing/naming systems such as DNS. In designing the system, we aim to reduce the dependency on exotic hardware or skill sets so that the system can be deployed quickly and easily by average internet users.

 An additional goal is that users not actively participating in the mesh network (i.e., not running mesh routing software on their devices) can make [http://www.mycaal.com/ loan modification] use of the network without having to install anything new, jailbreak their phone, or pry the information out of a hacker infected with the Exsurgent virus.

Shooters are one of the oldest game genres. Ever since humans first grabbed their hips, there has been something of a game of shooting in their sweaty glove pads. From Space Invaders to Ikaruga, from Gradius to Crezon Clover, the genre has created some of the most addictive, replayable, timeless games of all time.
It's also an incredible niche genre that, for the most part, has been forgotten. But that doesn't mean they don't exist on modern hardware. PS4/PS5 has an extensive library of all the classics and modern legends to experience.

90 Day Fiancé Spoilers: Cassia Slams Nicole For Using Jason's Death For Money
90 Day Fiancé spoilers and updates tease that it was recently reported that 90 Day Fiancé alum Jason Hitch, 45, had sadly died on Tuesday from complications due to COVID-19. Since then, fellow TLC alum Nicole Nafziger made a misleading post to her Instagram for the umpteenth time. Jason's ex-wife, Cassia Tavares has called Nicole out for using Jason's death as an excuse to scam her followers.
90 Day Fiancé Spoilers – Jason Hitch Passes Away
It was recently reported that Jason Hitch, 45, who starred in 90 Day Fiancé in 2014, had died in hospital on Tuesday from complications caused by a COVID-19 infection. Reportedly, Hitch had not been vaccinated.
While obviously, this is very sad news, Jason's ex-wife, Cassia Tavares has slammed former 90 Day Fiancé star Nicole Nafziger for using Hitch's death to make money on her Instagram. As she has done several times before, she used the news as the perfect opportunity for a clickbait post. In the post, it is believed Nafziger scammed her followers into believing that it was her own former fiancé, Azan Tefou, who had died.
In a since-deleted post that pointed to a report by Celebuzz, Nicole wrote the caption, "#RIP Heartbroken to confirm he DIED #LinkInBio." She then disabled comments on the post, seemingly forcing her followers to click on her link for more news. Anyone who was unaware of Jason's death and Nicole's clickbait habit would probably have believed that Azan had died.
However, the post got the attention of Jason's grieving ex-wife, Cassia, who blasted Nafziger in her own Instagram Stories. Sharing a copy of the post, Cassia wrote, "@alwaysnicole, I get all of that 'link in bio' BS but trying to make money off someone's death is a new kind of low!"
Tavares continued, writing, "It hurts me that I have to bring it up like this, but someone needed to tell you in public. JUST STOP."
Since then, Nicole has posted an Instagram Story to apologize, blaming it on her publicist. She wrote, "I would like to publicly apologize for the clickbait [sic] link that was posted to my profile yesterday. A company posts these straight to my account and don't always tell me the nature of the posts, but of course, that is no excuse."
She continued, "I am saddened by the news of Jason. Most of all I deeply apologize to @cassia__tavares and Jason's family for posting this tragic news in this way."
Following this, Cassia shared Nicole's Instagram Story, thanking her for her apologies.
90 Day Fiancé Updates – Nicole Nafziger And Clickbait Posts
This isn't the first time Nafziger has caused controversy over her Instagram posts. She has several times sparked fake rumors of her being pregnant. She also used a selfie of herself and Azan with RIP on it, making her followers believe that he had died.
In September this year, Nafziger shared "shocking news" about co-star Angela Deem, posting an image of a woman lying in a hospital bed smoking. Every now and then, some of her 667K followers fall for her clickbait, leading to much anger and many unfollowing the former TLC reality star.
Last month, Nicole even faked her own death in an Instagram post. While admittedly, life must be hard for a single mother to get by, clickbait posts of this nature are unacceptable.
About Jason Hitch
Jason, 45, made his debut with Cassia on 90 Day Fiancé in 2014, after she previously dated his friend. Along the way, the couple had several issues in their relationship. One problem was the 15-year age gap between them, but they also had trust and communication issues. Jason and Cassia filed for divorce twice and in September 2018, they finally took the step.
TMZ was first to share the news of Jason's passing, which they learned from his sister, Shannon. She said his family was with him when he died and held his hand in his final moments. According to Shannon, Hitch wasn't vaccinated but had no preexisting medical conditions as far as they knew.
When she heard the news of Jason's sudden death, Cassia reportedly admitted that she was shocked at the news and at first thought, it was a joke. While they are no longer together, the Brazilian beauty is obviously mourning his loss.
We send our sincere condolences to Jason's family and friends on his sudden and tragic passing at the age of 45.

Melissa McCarthy's incredible ability to seamlessly switch from self-deprecating to a self-celebrating, profanity-laden verbal assassin in an instant is the proof of her comedic genius and one of the main reasons Spy works so well with her at its helm. Writer/Director Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, The Heat) also wields a very tight script that strictly adheres to the plot without adding any unnecessary scenes for comedic effect; all the comedy here (which is abundant in every scene) comes naturally from the within the story.
McCarthy plays Susan Cooper, a CIA agent who has spent her entire career behind a computer aiding field agent Bradley Fine (Jude Law), a man she pines for although he is oblivious to the prospect of her as a romantic option. While tracking Rayna Boyanov (Rose Byrne), a Bulgarian born terrorist with plans to sell a small nuclear bomb through middleman Sergio De Luca (Bobby Cannavale), an unforeseen incident forces Susan's CIA boss (Allison Janney) to send Susan into the field in order to stop the imminent terrorist threat. She is assigned several demeaning and stereotypical secret identities replete with characteristics such as "cat-lady", "divorced single mother", and "Mary-Kay saleswoman". She plays these roles to perfection up until the moment she is forced to go rogue in order to get closer to Rayna, at which point she morphs into a sharp, quick-witted badass with a skill set and swagger every bit as dangerous as James Bond. When fellow CIA agent Rick Ford (Jason Statham) goes out on his own to bring down the terrorists, despite the fact that they know his face, he threatens to blow Susan's cover and ruin the entire operation, making for some great exchanges between McCarthy and Statham, who overplays his machismo with a self-awareness that pokes fun at the very roles he has made a reputation on throughout his career.
Rose Byrne is hilarious and fantastic, as always, in a role very similar to the character she plays in Bridesmaids, an icy, beautiful, and spoiled rich girl whose overconfidence and hard-shell exterior mask a deep seeded insecurity and desperation to be accepted; it is a role that should be exclusively given to Byrne as she has shown there is no actor in the world who can play it better for comedic effect. The supporting cast is equally great, especially Miranda Hart and Peter Serafinowicz, who, respectively, play Susan's behind-the-scenes CIA best friend and her driver/sexually inappropriate Italian sidekick during the scenes in Rome.
McCarthy soars with Susan during the second half, where she gets to unleash one-liners, jabs, and spinning takedowns directed towards Rayna and the terrorists, Agent Ford, and anyone else who manages to get in her way. But there is great depth to be found in her character alongside the potent comedic chops. By sifting through the fake identities she is given out in the field, Susan is ultimately able to embrace her true identity as a formidable field agent and strong, independent woman.
Everything about Spy works from the tight script and comedic chemistry between the actors to the surprising plot turns and the well-executed action scenes. It has thrown its name in the hat for the funniest movie of the year so far. And if you have a problem with Spy it is probably the inability to believe McCarthy as a kick-ass and highly competent CIA agent, dangling from helicopters and taking out five men at once, which is entirely the point: Do not underestimate Susan Cooper.

Any sort of songs the audience is paying attention to, precisely what do we like regarding it? step one.Hopefully there is certainly a superb track otherwise during the a least an effective cool hook. dos.Develop there was excellent to play. 3.Hopefully there are lots of really vibrant and you will enjoyable audio.

The job market is changing more rapidly than ever, which means that resume trends seem to be coming (and going) faster than ever. So, which trends are worth following — and which ones are better off ignored?
We've analyzed the current resume trends and landed on 10 resume trends for 2023 that aren't going anywhere. These are all based on data and backed by recruiters, which means you can bypass the fads and skip straight to the resume tips that'll actually help you land a job.
Wondering what the best resume tips are for 2023? Here's a quick overview.
Current resume trends
In 2023, look out for:
- The continued importance of remote work
- Optimizing your resume with keywords
- Using AI to help your job search
- Having multiple resumes
- Quantifying your impact with numbers
- Highlighting technical skills
- Linking to social media
- Integrating soft skills
- Keeping it brief
- Sticking with a classic resume format
Let's take a more in-depth look at each of these trends, including what they mean for you and how to stay ahead of the curve.
Top resume trends for 2023
1. Get on board with remote work
You don't have to be looking for remote work to know that it's everywhere — and you shouldn't expect this to go away in 2023. Job boards like FlexJobs and Remote OK cater specifically to people looking for remote work, while even the larger job boards have hundreds of thousands of remote jobs listed.
Even if you aren't working remotely, you're likely to be dealing with people who are, which means that highlighting experience managing remote workers or your ability to use remote tools like Slack and Zoom is always a plus.

2. Bypass ATS with resume keywords
If you're currently applying for jobs, you've probably heard of Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). These are automated scanners that companies use to screen resumes before they hit the desk of a hiring manager.
ATS search your resume for a set list of keywords, which means they're pretty easy to bypass. The key is to not overdo it — after all, you don't want a resume so stuffed full of keywords that it gets rejected by the first person to read it. Instead, use a tool like our skills and keywords finder to search for relevant keywords and scatter them naturally throughout your resume.

3. Use AI to your advantage
In 2023, it seems like Artificial Intelligence is everywhere. Employers are obviously using it — but so can job seekers.
AI-powered tools like Score My Resume work in a similar way to ATS, by analyzing your resume and providing actionable steps to improve it. Think of it kind of like a Grammarly for resumes — instead of just fixing your spelling and grammar, it can check for job-specific keywords, resume and bullet point length, inconsistencies, word choice, and any filler or buzzwords you can safely eliminate.
4. Have multiple versions of your resume
Think you can write a single, perfect resume that you can use to apply to any job? Think again!
One of the best ways to land a job is to tailor your resume, which means you'll end up having at least a few different variations of the same resume. This could be as simple as adding a resume title or as in-depth as curating which jobs you list when applying for roles in different industries. You can also get help from tools like Targeted Resume, which will check your resume against the target job description and identify specific ways to tailor your resume to that position.

5. Quantify your impact with concrete metrics
The easiest way to show the actual impact you had in a role is to use numbers in your bullet points. This allows hiring managers to get a better feel for how you're likely to perform in the new role. It's also a good way to stand out in a sea of applicants, as the vast majority of resumes don't fully quantify their accomplishments.
Here's an okay bullet point:
Hired, coached and led sales team.
By adding more details, we can make it better:
Hired, coached and led sales team of five to make sales calls, make client visits and close deals.
And by using metrics to show results, we create an impactful, measurable accomplishment:
Hired, coached and led sales team of five to make sales calls, make client visits and close deals; generated $10M in sales contracts.

6. Prove that you're competent with technology
Even in low-tech fields, a little tech savviness goes a long way. Being able to troubleshoot problems and use common technologies can make the difference between hitting the ground running and struggling to keep up.
Looking to make the next move in your career — or to change fields entirely? 2023 is an excellent time to start developing in-demand skills like:
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- Software as a Service (SaaS)
- Cybersecurity
- Data analysis
- Cloud computing
- Blockchain
- Automation
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning
- Augmented reality and virtual reality (AR and VR)
- Digital marketing
- User interface and user experience design (UI and UX)
- Programming languages like HTML, CSS, Java, and SQL
7. Update and link your social media profiles
Whether you're always on social media or not a huge fan, there's no doubt that it's become an important part of job searching. LinkedIn alone is home to over 800 million users, including over 58 million registered companies.
If your LinkedIn needs a little revamp — or a complete overhaul — LinkedIn Review can provide personalized tips on how to optimize your profile and generate up to five times as many leads.
Our best tip for how to instantly modernize your resume in 2023? Add a link to your LinkedIn profile, GitHub, or portfolio to the top of your resume (next to your contact details).

8. Highlight transferable skills
These days, nobody expects to stay in the same job for their whole career — the average tenure of a new job is less than five years, which means that the average person will hold around 12 jobs in their lifetime. With that in mind, it makes sense to build your resume around skills that you can take with you — in other words, transferable (or soft) skills.
According to a recent breakdown of job listing, the top soft skills recruiters are looking for include:
- Communication
- Customer service
- Time management and scheduling
- Project management
- Analytical thinking
- Working independently
- Interpersonal skills and collaboration
- Flexibility
- Attention to detail and accuracy
- Multitasking

9. Keep your resume short and skimmable
Sometimes, less is more — and that includes on your resume. Most resumes only need to be one page long and include:
Most of that should be in bullet point format, too, which means recruiters can quickly skim your resume — and important information is more likely to stand out.
Related: How Long Should a Resume Be?
10. Use a simple chronological resume format
In 2023, we've seen a lot of resume trends come and go. Infographics, functional resumes, and online resume builders have all come … and gone. What's here to stay is the classic, easy to read chronological resume.
When writing a resume, there's no need to get creative with fonts, images, graphs, tables, or fancy layouts. Instead:
Download a simple ATS-ready resume template
- Stick to default formatting in Google Docs or Microsoft Word
- List your experience in order from most recent to least recent
- Always include your dates of employment
- Use bold, underline, and italics if you need text to stand out
- Export your resume as a PDF to keep your formatting intact

weekend to end breast cancer
|Winnipeg - Saturday, March 3, 2007 by: Cassandra Shire
On June 8-10, 2007, I'll be participating in a very special event called The Weekend to End Breast Cancer - I'm walking because I don't want Cadence (Cadence is my year old daughter) to grow up in a world with Breast Cancer!
I'll walk 60 kilometers over the course of one weekend with thousands of other women and men. The net proceeds will support breast cancer research, treatment, and services through the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation.
I've agreed to raise at least $2,000, but I've set my personal goal at $3000. So I need your help. Would you please consider making a donation of $50? Use the link at the bottom of this email, and go visit my site - and please take the time to support me. Please keep in mind how far I'm walking - and how hard I'll have to train.
According to the National Cancer Institute of Canada, approximately 20,500 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and about 5,400 will die from the disease. That's why I'm walking so far. To do something bold about breast cancer. I hope that you'll share this incredible adventure with me - by supporting me in my fundraising efforts.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!

HCR 19-GOVERNOR: AK NATIVE LANGUAGES EMERGENCY 8:15:45 AM CHAIR MEYER announced consideration of HCR 19. [SCS CSHCR 19(STA), version 30-LS1402\T, was before the committee.] He said this resolution had been heard in the Senate Community and Regional Affairs and Senate State Affairs Committees; it was amended in the Senate State Affairs Committee changing the title and emergency language to "recognizing the urgent need for language revitalization efforts." This meeting is being held today to address two amendments. REPRESENTATIVE KELLY moved Amendment 1. 30-LS1402\T.2 Martin 4/24/18 AMENDMENT 1 OFFERED IN THE SENATE BY SENATOR KELLY TO: SCS CSHCR 19(STA) Page 1, line 1: Delete "issue an administrative order recognizing" Insert "recognize" Page 2, line 24: Delete "issue an administrative order recognizing" Insert "recognize" CHAIR MEYER objected for discussion purposes. REPRESENTATIVE KELLY explained that current language states that the Alaska legislature urges Governor Walker to issue an administrative order recognizing the urgent need for language revitalization efforts. This amendment just takes out the administrative order words and conforms the title, because of a separation of powers issue. The legislature writes statutes and the governor has the right to write administrative orders, but the legislature shouldn't be asking the governor to do what the legislature is able to do in a statute. This resolution speaks to something that the state needs and the amendment does not change the spirit of it. It just allows the legislature to be vigilant about the separation of powers. CHAIR MEYER removed his objection. Finding no further objections, he said Amendment 1 was adopted. SENATOR GARDNER moved Amendment 2. 30-LS1402\T.1 Martin 4/24/18 AMENDMENT 2 OFFERED IN THE SENATE BY SENATOR GARDNER TO: SCS CSHCR 19(STA) Page 1, lines 1 - 2: Delete "the urgent need for language revitalization efforts" Insert "a linguistic emergency" Page 2, lines 24 - 25: Delete "the urgent need for language revitalization efforts" Insert "a linguistic emergency" CHAIR MEYER objected for discussion purposes. 8:19:26 AM SENATOR GARDNER related how one of her majors in college was linguistics and she remembers discussions on how language colors culture. For example, in Gambia, an uncle - any of the father's brothers - uses the same word as the father and a mother's sisters are all called mother, because they all carry the responsibilities and obligations of the father and mother; as a child, they would all mother you. Their language defines that very clearly, and when you lose a language you really lose the way of seeing the world, and that is why it is an emergency. 8:20:45 AM SENATOR MICCICHE remembered about 25 years ago when his community made the effort of recording the Dena'ina language through the help of two remaining fluent speakers and he thinks this resolution recognizes the need to take immediate action, but when he thinks of an emergency, he thinks of life and death situations, and this needs to be a comprehensive plan on mobilizing for documenting existing languages. "Urgency" does not adequately capture that. He just wants this resolution to get to the floor and it doesn't need additional complications at this point. SENATOR GARDNER said they are really discussing degrees of importance. To those who are relatively new to the state it has little impact, but to some Alaskans whose history in the state goes back thousands of years it makes a huge difference. It is critically important and that was heard in their emotional testimony. They are talking about the ongoing death of a culture, and for some people it is a death. REPRESENTATIVE KELLY explained why he won't support her amendment. "Emergency" has a statutory definition; it is not just a term of art. It means the Governor declares an emergency and the National Guard or FEMA is called out. The legislature doesn't do this. This issue needs some community involvement and he feel uncomfortable using the word "emergency" in this regard. SENATOR GARDNER responded that she will look into that between now and the floor session. CHAIR MEYER maintained his objection. 8:25:45 AM A roll call vote was taken. Senator Gardner voted yea; Senators Micciche, Kelly, MacKinnon, and Meyer vote nay. Amendment 2 failed on a 1:4 vote. REPRESENTATIVE KELLY moved to report SCS CSHCR 19(RLS), as amended, from committee with individual recommendations and attached zero fiscal note. There were no objections and it was so ordered. ## 8:26:34 AM CHAIR MEYER adjourned the Senate Rules Committee meeting at 8:26 a.m.

Telemann: Concerti for Wind Instruments
il Gardellino
Etcetera KTC 4004.
Telemann: Concerto in e, TWV 52 e:1; Concerto in a 6, TWV 52 e:3; Concerto in a, TWV 52 a:1; Concerto in D, TWV 51 f:1; Septet in Bes, TWV 44:43.
Recorded in 2003, this is presumably a reissue, although I couldn't anything to confirm that. It is not listed on il Gardellino's website. Matthessohn seems to have been one of the first to wonder how Telemann managed to compose so much music. This, and the dominance of Bach in the revival of German baroque music, has always been a bit of a problem. The opening Concerto in this CD helps by including several moments that many listeners might recognise. Matthessohn also commented that "Telemann alone is beyond all praise and lauds", and this CD demonstrates the exceptional quality of his music. Both technically and musically, his compositional skill is self evidence, as is the breadth of his creative imagination. Continue reading

After the holidays, it's always good to be more conscious about taking in more vegetables and finally cut down on sugar and fat. A lot of people do a vegan detox of some sort, making lovely smoothies all week. As for me, because I love savory food, I introduce some vegetable soups to the family for at least a week. It's not a total detox because I want these soups to be really hearty and flavorful, yet still quite healthy. For the next couple of days I will be sharing different vegetable soups. Feel free to swap some ingredients if you need your soup to be more plant based.
The first soup that I made this week is Spinach and Mushroom Soup. Spinach has quite a strong taste and while it is possible to have just spinach in the soup, I added some mushrooms to add a layer of umami to the dish. Then I balanced it out with a good chicken stock—boiled with the basics like celery, carrots, onions and garlic—however, if you are vegan, you can always replace this with a good clear vegetable stock. Lastly, I added cream (again, you can replace this with something plant based, in this case almond milk, or soy cream) to round up the flavors for a rich, delicious taste.
So here's the recipe and I hope you enjoy it!
Spinach and Mushroom Soup
Prep time: 10-15 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
- 2 cups of fresh spinach leaves, washed
- 1 ½ cup of assorted mushrooms (button, shitake, porcini etc)
- 1 medium onion roughly chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
- 4 cups of chicken or vegetable stock
- 250 ml all purpose cream
- ½ teaspoon of dry sage
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- In a saucepan or pot, heat the oil and add the garlic and onions. Once the onions are translucent, add the sage and oregano and let them sweat out a little.
- Add the assorted mushrooms and sautee until the mushrooms are cooked through.
- Add the spinach and sautée briefly before adding the chicken stock.
- Let the pot boil for 2 minutes.
- Use a hand blender, or transfer the mixture to the blender. Season with salt and pepper
- Serve with a bit of heated cream. You can choose to pour it over the bowls individually, or include in the soup mixture before serving. Enjoy!

By Ben Finley,
Associated Press News
The Black men who drove horse-drawn carriages through the streets of Colonial Williamsburg, Va. were simultaneously invisible and omnipresent during the Jim Crow era.
Their wooden coaches help conjure up images of the late 18th Century for visitors among the likes of Queen Elizabeth, Sir Winston Churchill and former Gen. Dwight Eisenhower. Though the coachman was invaluable to the Southern way of life, the men were forced to use separate bathrooms and water fountains, along with the many other sanctioned indignities of segregation.
"These guys were resilient," Paul Undra Jeter, the living history museum's director of coach and livestock said.
Colonial Williamsburg has begun to honor the coachmen by naming a new carriage after one of them, with hopes that more will follow.
The first carriage is named in honor of Benjamin Spraggins, who was sometimes said to be the most-photographed man in Williamsburg – though few captions include his name. Spraggins was also celebrated with a carriage processional and ceremony on Feb. 26.
The tribute is part of the museum's ongoing reckoning over race and its past storytelling about the country's origins and the role of Black Americans.
Colonial Williamsburg tells the story of Virginia's late 1700s capital and includes more than 400 restored or reconstructed buildings. The museum was founded in 1926 but did not tell Black stories until 1979. More than half of the people who lived in the colonial capital were Black, and many were enslaved.
Segregation-era coachmen were exclusively Black. They were part of a much larger Black workforce that underpinned the museum's operations as cooks, maintenance workers and landscapers, said Ywone Edwards-Ingram, a professor in the Department of Focused Inquiry at Virginia Commonwealth University.
In a 2014 scholarly article, Edwards-Ingram pushed back against 1979 as a watershed year for inclusion because Black people had long worked there, sometimes in highly visible roles, even if they were not officially interpreters.
In the 1890s, before the museum was founded, Black residents served as guides for sightseers and later helped reconstruct buildings for the museum. They also worked in archaeology to help uncover physical evidence of the colonial capital. And some dressed in costume, performing tasks such as candle making, Edwards-Ingram said.
She added that the segregation-era coachmen were essentially interpreters- ambassadors even, for passengers and dignitaries.
But they received little recognition.
"When you look at the photograph collections of Colonial Williamsburg, many times their names were not even mentioned," Edwards-Ingram said. "That's why it's important to name that carriage. You're making things visible."
Driving coaches from 1937 to 1953, Spraggins was able to give "his perspective of the town" and "took an active role in the cultural performance of the carriage ride, basically controlling the visitors' experiences," Edwards-Ingram wrote in her article.
Spraggins died in 1987. A grandson, Darrell Jimmerson, said his grandfather was a humble and hard-working man.
Jeter, the museum's coach and livestock director and the first Black person to have the job, said Colonial Williamsburg now employs Black, White and female carriage drivers.

What tattoos are Millennials and Gen Z, arguably the most inked generations, choosing? We asked, and found out the most common designs they're sporting now…
Over 20% of 18-35-year-olds have tattoos, and YPulse data shows that more would like to join their ranks: 41% of 13-17-years-old and 27% of 18-35-year-olds who don't currently have one are interested in getting a tattoo in the future. Those who already have tattoos are proud of the ink they sport. Eighty-five percent disagree with the statement, "I plan to have one or more of my tattoos removed someday," and 89% say they are proud to show off their tattoos.
Their pride is likely related to their emotional connection to the designs they're choosing. The stereotype of picking a tattoo from a menu on the wall isn't likely accurate for this group, 88% of whom say they chose their tattoo(s) because they have emotional meaning—more than the percentage who say they chose it because it looks cool. Though the majority believe that their tattoos make them unique, there are some commonalities to be found in the kinds of designs they've picked to permanently show off. In our recent monthly survey, we asked 13-35-year-olds with tattoos to tell us what they have, and created a list of the most popular design themes. Here's the most common ink among young consumers right now:
*This was an open-end response question to allow us to capture the full range of tattoos that 13-35-year-olds are choosing—without our preconceived ideas shaping their responses. As with any qualitative question, the responses include those that are top of mind and those that are most popular. The list is ordered according to number of responses received, and alphabetically when ties occurred.
What Tattoos Do They Have?
- Animal / Insect
- Flower(s)
- Sun / Moon / Stars
- Name / Initials
- Quote
- Bird(s)
- Religious symbol
- Mythical creature
- Heart
- Symbol from movie / TV show / book
- Zodiac / Tarot
- Word
- Homage to family/relative
- Awareness Ribbon
- Lyrics
The top tattoo design Millennials and Gen Z currently sport are animals and insects—with butterflies, cats, and dogs the most common ink under that category. Nature is a major theme in the most popular tattoos, with animals/insects, flowers, sun/moon/stars, and birds all coming up in the top ten.
But the theme of emotional significance is perhaps even stronger. Many of those nature and animal designs are chosen because of the connection they represent to a person, pet, or place. Loved ones' names and family homages (including portraits of family members and family crests) both made the top 15 list, as did awareness ribbons, signifying the disease or survival of a loved one or themselves. Gen Z and Millennials are using their tattoos to represent the people that they love, and perhaps have them present symbolically.
Young consumers' fandom is also a major theme of the tattoos they pick. Images and symbols from books, movies, and TV shows came in at number nine on the list—with Harry Potter and Star Wars both mentioned by more than one respondent in the category. Other types of fandom are being used as tattoo inspiration as well, with multiple respondents saying they have tattoos in honor of a favorite band, and several saying they have a brand logo—perhaps a sign of the rise of Brandoms we've seen recently.

A Black-Owned Atlanta Ranch Using Horseback Riding As Meditation
Darryl Fletcher has dreamed of having a Black-owned Atlanta ranch for more than 20 years. He knew the great impact a horse could have on youth, and he longed to create a space where young people could learn how to handle anxiety, fear, and anger issues.
When he acquired his land in Fairburn, Georgia, the name SOOFA – an acronym for Stretch Out On Faith Again – was inspired by his life experiences and entrepreneurial ventures. Some were successful, but others were not.
Despite the challenges, he never quit.
"The name simply is to inspire people," he told Travel Noire. "Maybe you tried something before and you need a little bit of encouragement to stretch on faith and try it again."
Fletcher's program has grown to help more than youth. He has created an environment along the Chattahoochee River where people, of all ages, can ride horses along the trails. It's a therapeutic experience where riders can reflect, overcome anxieties, build confidence, and become better communicators.

90's Showdown: The Contenders 2
Yesterday I talked about this spin-off's beginning (keep voting on Andrew's page you guys!), and I promised more performances so here they are.
Kirsten Dunst in Dick (1999): Dick has two leads – Michelle Williams using her doe-eyed delivery with a comic flair that she barely shows, and Kirsten Dunst in her prolonged Torrance Chapman phase. Dunst is so thorough in her sunniness, her delivery of dick jokes quick, matter-of-fact yet hilarious. She also exposes the ridiculousness of the movie's conceit in unabashedly girly but cunning ways. And if you don't believe me, the movie is available on YouTube, you guys!
Gwyneth Paltrow in Shakespeare in Love (1998): Despite recommending expensive shit on her website, we should still honour Paltrow for being one of the few contemporary American actresses who can play British. That can't be said enough. She also conveys a Renaissance styled warmth – her curly blond locks helping very much to bring this forth – both during her post-coital mornings with a fictional William Shakespeare, telling a man that she knows every word of Juliet and playing multiple levels of the role she was meant to play.
Marie Gignac in Tectonic Plates (1992): To conjure up Gignac's is admittedly trolly. I serendipitously watched it, yet to confirm or deny that she's a worthy entry on this list is something you can't even do through illegal torrents. And trust me, I checked! You have to go a library in Canada to know if I'm not fucking with you. It's the kind of entry on a list that makes its reader seek out instead of sleepwalkingly confirm what you think you already know, an entry that makes this list personal. And yes, if you get to watch her, the wig she wears to show herself in her college years is kind of ridiculous. But it eventually…grew on me and helped with suspending disbelief. Her performance is meditative, making sense with the movie's title. That like tectonic plates, her life, whether portrayed in the black cube of a studio or the colourful world of Venice, is full of loss that takes time to heal and sublimate. I'll also never forget her surprising youthful smile in her character's older years, where all the pieces of her life come together.
Patricia Arquette in True Romance (1993): I probably don't hate the concept of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl so much because I see versions of her in creative and sometimes gritty films. Arquette in True Romance is a great example, her bubbliness making even racism palatable. She also makes one half of a great movie couple who should always be together until the end.
Sigourney Weaver in Alien: Resurrection (1997): is one of the most divisive sequels ever, and there's Weaver's basketball game among other ridiculous set pieces within the space ship, but she probably works the hardest here more than in any of the Alien franchise movies, having to be compassionate with the alien race to whom she once was deathly afraid.
Gong Li in Raise the Red Lantern (1991): She conveys eroticism through the foot massages she receives, her own adult moment. But Li's character in Raise the Red Lantern is forever a child, her seemingly Western petulance and moodiness, brought forth by oppression and competition from both the men and women within her archaic household, is endlessly fascinating. This has other levels of performance I have yet to discover.
Angelina Jolie in Girl: Interrupted (1999): There are three Angelina Jolies, one is the enemy of the gossip reading bachelorettes who will staunchly be on Team Jennifer. The second is the one with the impenetrable gaze, the grown-up Jolie dressed up by Vogue for red carpets, occasionally appearing in glamorous yet terrible movies. The third one lunged at the screen like a feral child in Girl Interrupted, the one we miss. The one who knows the word attack and uses it to her advantage, who knows the dangerous side of liberation from experience.
Nicole Kidman in Eyes Wide Shut (1999): Rewatching Eyes Wide Shut I will now remember that scene when Kidman is wearing glasses sitting with the actor playing her child, looking at Tom Cruise, smiling while he remembers her sexual dream. It's not necessarily her acting chops that bring the message of her character's insidious deviant deception across but Kidman is a great collaborator here. She oscillates between vulnerable girly girl and bourgeois wife at a time in her career when she could.
Tomorrow: Many for the price of six.
Crazy, Winslet Links
Well the links lead from me to me. Let me begin with the new character posters for Steven Soderbergh's Contagion, which I talked about for Nathaniel R's The Film Experience. Blythe Danner has seen her daughter's poster, apparently. The comments went beautifully, as people remembered the Gwyneth and Winona frenemy situation and surprisingly, Matt Damon's poster is competing to be the second favourite along with Laurence Fishburne's.
Speaking of Kate Winslet movies, she's playing the role of She-Hulk in Roman Polanski's new film Carnage, a movie I won't shut up about until its release. I didn't like the poster, but it's a surprise hit for the commenters at Anomalous Material, where I've also been busy writing news and reviews. I think that John C. Reilly has the best colouring here, while I'm not into Jodie Foster and Christoph Waltz' orange so much although yes, there are loathsome orange people out there.
I also reviewed Crazy, Stupid Love at YourKloset, a website that I write for when movies and fashion collide, which thankfully happens often enough for me.
Late Thoughts on Contagion's Trailer
Minutes before watching Crazy, Stupid, Love, I saw the trailer for Contagion, a trailer that, at first viewing, was for your typical Oscar season blockbuster. But I guess seeing it on the big screen made me see stuff more like oh hai, Bryan Cranston, playing Haggerty, a suave man in uniform again beside Dr. Cheever (Laurence Fishburne). Other actors appearing in this film are John Hawkes and Enrico Colantoni, an uncredited Soderbergh alum who's known here in Canada for being the lead in the cop show "Flashpoint."
I also really like this shot well, because of the flowers. Seeing the daisies I assumed that it was a child bringing it to someone's grave, but then it's obviously someone working on the mass burial grounds. It's a mix of the personal and professional an adult, possibly jaded because of the recent events, trying to bring an innocent time back. Over-read!
Now, the stars! It sounds sadistic but I'm relieved Beth Emhoff (Gwyneth Paltrow) dies early instead of the disease being the wedge between her and her healthy husband Thomas' (Matt Damon) marriage. But Dr. Leonora Orantes (Marion Cotillard) will analyze Beth throughout the movie, being the first to fall to the disease. How is there even an HD camera surveying her before her death, anyway? Here's Jude Law, meh. There's also Dr. Erin Mears' (Kate Winslet) voice dominating the trailer, but why is her nose red? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
