Play It Safe
Make your own allergy-friendly play dough
Keeping your home and school safe for young children with food allergies and sensitivities goes beyond what food goes into their mouths. It includes the toys they play with. Take Play-Doh, the popular children's clay. It contains wheat products—off limits for kids with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity and wheat allergy.
What to do? Happily, safe alternatives are available. Living Without's test kitchen gathered a few tried-and-true homemade play dough formulas and substituted allergy-friendly ingredients. We tried different gluten-free flours and starches until we found the combinations that yielded the smoothest pliability and best workability.
Your child can have fun and be creative—and you can relax—with these do-it-yourself recipes.
Play Clay
If not used immediately, store in an airtight container or plastic bag in the refrigerator.
1 cup potato starch or cornstarch
2 cups baking soda
1¼ cups cold water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil of choice
2-3 drops food color, optional
1. Mix together potato starch and baking soda and pour into a saucepan.
2. Mix water and oil in small bowl. Add food coloring, if using.
3. Heat saucepan and pour in water and oil, stirring constantly about 3 minutes or until clay holds together in a ball. (Small lumps will appear and then clay will hold together.)
4. Turn off heat. Spoon clay onto parchment paper and let cool slightly.
5. Roll clay in parchment paper forming a cylinder and let cool completely. Knead a little before using.
Salt Dough
If not used immediately, store in an airtight container or plastic bag in the refrigerator.

2 drops food color, optional
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, if needed
1. Mix together salt and flour in a saucepan. Pour in water and add food coloring, if using.
2. Cook over medium heat until dough forms into a ball. If dough is too dry to hold together, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
3. Spoon dough onto parchment paper and let cool slightly.
4. Knead until smooth and shape into a ball. If dough is too hard, knead in 1 teaspoon vegetable oil until it's well distributed.

Government Policies and Programs to Eliminate the Worst Forms of Child Labor
The Government of Tanzania became a member of ILO-IPEC in 1994. Since 1995, ILO-IPEC has implemented 40 action programs in Tanzania to address child labor.[2450] At the community level, Child Labor Monitoring Committees identify and monitor cases of child labor.[2451] In 2000, Tanzania joined four other countries participating in an ILO-IPEC program, funded by USDOL, to remove children from exploitative work in commercial agriculture.[2452] The government in 2000 also conducted a child labor survey with technical assistance from ILO-IPEC's SIMPOC.[2453] In June 2001, the Government of Tanzania announced that it would initiate an ILO-IPEC Time-bound Project, a comprehensive, national level project to eliminate the worst forms of child labor over a defined period. Phase 1 of this project aims to eliminate child labor in the commercial sex sector, mining, abusive forms of domestic work, and commercial agriculture by 2010.[2454]
Tanzania's Basic Education Master Plan aims to achieve universal access to basic education, increase primary school gross enrollment, and ensure that at least 80 percent of children complete primary education by the age of 15.[2455] The Ministry of Education and Culture, with support from UNICEF, has launched a 3-year program to help reintegrate children who have dropped out of the system into schools and has made it illegal to expel students because of pregnancy.[2456] The Ministry of Education has launched a Community Education Fund with World Bank support to improve the school infrastructure. The Ministry of Education is working to improve pre-primary education, in collaboration with ILO-IPEC.[2457] In 1997, Tanzania joined ILO-IPEC's Action Against Child Labor through the Education and Training Project, which has mobilized teachers, educators, and their organizations, and the general public to launch campaigns against child labor at the local and national levels.[2458]
Incidence and Nature of Child Labor
In 2001, a child labor survey conducted by the Tanzania Ministry of Labor, Youth Development and Sports, in cooperation ILO-IPEC, estimated that 40 percent of children between the ages of 5 and 17 in Tanzania were working.[2459] Approximately 27 percent of working children are between the ages of 5 and 9, and 44 percent are between the ages of 10 and 14.[2460] In rural areas, 34 percent of children work, while in urban areas, 11 percent of children work.[2461]
Children work on commercial tea, coffee, sugar cane, sisal, cloves, cut-flower, and tobacco farms and in the production of corn, green algae (seaweed), pyrethrum, rubber, and wheat.[2462] In mining regions, children work in surface and underground mines. In gemstone mines, children, known as "snake boys," crawl through narrow tunnels hundreds of meters long to help position mining equipment and ignite and assess the effectiveness of explosions.[2463] Children also work as domestic servants, often for 18 hours per day and for low pay.[2464] Others work as barmaids, street vendors, car washers, shoe shiners, carpenters, and auto repair mechanics.[2465] They also work in skilled crafts such as carpentry and auto repair as "apprentices," where they receive little pay for their work.[2466] Girls as young as 9 years old reportedly engage in prostitution.[2467]
Education in Tanzania is compulsory for seven years, until the age of 15; however, education is not free, and costs include enrollment, books, and uniforms.[2468] In 1997, the gross primary enrollment rate was 66.5 percent, and the net primary enrollment rate was 48.4 percent.[2469] In 1996, Tanzania's gross primary attendance rate was 78.1 percent.[2470] Forty-eight percent of working children attend school.[2471]
Child Labor Laws and Enforcement
The Employment Ordinance of 1956 sets the minimum age for employment at 15 years and prohibits children from using, working near machinery, or engaging in underground work. Current laws do not restrict children from working in agriculture. [2472] Under the Employment Ordinance, employers are obliged to keep registers that indicate the age of workers, working conditions, the nature of employment, and commencement and termination dates.[2473] The Sexual Offences Special Provisions Act of 1998 criminalizes child sexual assault or abuse, and the Penal Code prohibits procuring a female under the age of 21 for prostitution.[2474]
Several government agencies have jurisdiction over areas related to child labor, but primary responsibility for enforcing the country's child labor laws rests with the Ministry of Labor and Youth Development (MLYD). A Child Labor Unit within MLYD serves as a liaison between the various. government ministries and stakeholders. It is responsible for child labor-related projects, conducts the child labor component of the labor inspector training, and gathers and disseminates data on child labor.[2475] At the community level, Child Labor Monitoring Committees have been established in areas with a high frequency of child labor. The committees are reported to be effective in their initial efforts to raise awareness, withdraw and rehabilitate children from child labor, protect working children, and provide support to families. However, over time, the motivation of the committees often wanes and their effectiveness lessens.[2476] Tanzania ratified ILO Convention 138 on December 16, 1998, and ILO Convention 182 on September 12, 2001.[2477]

These are just some of the issues UNICEF UK is working on right now. You can also learn more about our campaigning work on child rights issues, and our work with the UK Parliament.
International aid International aid is helping to fulfil the rights of millions of children worldwide. In 1970, the richest countries in the world committed to giving 0.7 percent of their Gross National Income (GNI) to overseas aid. Today, only five countries are meeting this target, and the UK Government has committed to reach the target by 2013.
Making child rights part of UK law UNICEF UK believes that making the Convention part of UK law would give powerful protection to children, ensuring that all children living in the UK, no matter who they are or where they're from, have their rights realised.
UNICEF's work on immunisation UNICEF is the world's largest distributor of vaccines to the developing world, supplying vaccines for more than a third of the world's children. In 2010 we bought over 2.5 billion vaccines worth £470 million.
Climate change Children in developing countries are among the hardest hit by climate change, despite being the least responsible for it. UNICEF works to put it right, helping communities adapt to the impacts of climate change now.
Water and sanitation Thousands of children die every day because of inadequate access to safe water and sanitation services and poor hygiene practices. UNICEF works to improve water and sanitation in schools and communities.
UNICEF and sport Sport is important to UNICEF because it's so vital to the health and happiness of children. We work with governments and partners across the world to use sports to improve children's lives and strengthen communities.
UNICEF's work on HIV and AIDS Every day, 1,000 children are infected with HIV, most through mother-to-child transmission. UNICEF works with communities and governments around the world to prevent new infections among young people and eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
Child hunger and stunting Stunting is what happens to a child's brain and body when they don't get the right nutrients in their first 1,000 days of life.
Children in conflict Right now, millions of children around the world are caught up in conflicts in which they are not merely bystanders, but targets.

NOTE: St. Vladimir's Seminary is not admitting students to the DMin program at this time pending completion and approval of program revisions. We hope to complete this process by September 2013.
The Doctor of Ministry degree at St. Vladimir's Seminary enhances the practice of ministry for ordained and lay ministers in the Orthodox Church. The program integrates enhanced competencies in pastoral analysis with skills necessary to lead students to an advanced understanding of the nature and purposes of ministry. Working in communities of teachers and learners, the students gain deeper knowledge about the practice of serving others in Christian love as they grow in spiritual maturity as ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Greeting from the Director
I was ordained to the diaconate in 1999, and to the priesthood in 2004. More than ten years of ordained ministry have taught me—in a very personal way—that pastors face immense challenges. The depth and intensity of suffering and the spiritual and emotional darkness in the lives of the people we serve is startling. Facing such serious challenges, there has never been a greater need for excellence in pastoral ministry.
The D.Min. program at St. Vladimir's provides priests, chaplains, and other pastoral professionals with advanced knowledge and skills in order to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who are suffering. Integrating doctoral level academic work with pastoral spirituality, this program will help you to acquire and refine the skills to minister to those whom God has called you to serve. Please consider joining us in a doctoral program that will give you an opportunity to foster deep and lasting friendships as we engage in work that contributes to authentic spiritual and pastoral renewal.
~Fr. Sergius Halvorsen, Assistant Professor of Homiletics and Rhetoric and Director of D.Min. Program
(914) 961-8313 x 367
Students will be able to:
- demonstrate an advanced competency in the practice of ministry in the Orthodox tradition.
- perform analytical and ministerial research in Scripture, Patristic texts and contemporary sources.
- integrate advanced theological knowledge into one's ministry in the local context.
- communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ more effectively through oral, written and other media.
The Doctor of Ministry Program is a three year program consisting of eight core courses and a final project.
- Advanced Preaching and Communications
- Bioethics for Ministry
- Counseling in the Parish
- Ministry in a Secular Age
- Ministry to the Sick and Dying
- Missiology
- Scripture: Exegesis for Preaching
- Youth Ministry
Students in the program complete about half of their work at home via distance learning which includes:
- online video presentations
- threaded discussions
- conference calls and webinars
The use of distance learning technology allows priests, chaplains and other pastoral professionals to do doctoral study at St. Vladimir's while maintaining their current ministries. In fact, students are required to be engaged in full time practice of ministry during the program in order to best integrate theory and practice. Students are also required to attend six one-week on-campus intensives during the course of the program. These meetings are held on the St. Vladimir's Seminary campus in January, the first week after Theophany, and in early July.
In order to best accommodate the liturgical year, the academic calendar of the D.Min. program differs from the standard academic year. The winter term begins in October and concludes prior to the beginning of Great Lent, with an Advent/ Nativity recess. The summer term begins after Bright Week and concludes in September with an August recess. Each academic term will include a one-week on- campus intensive. No courses will be held during Great Lent.
View a sample academic calendar for the DMin Program.
Each student will complete a final project that focuses on a particular aspect of Christian ministry. The project will combine doctoral level research with critical reflection on the practice of ministry. The objective of the final project will be to provide concrete resource material for others in ministry. As part of the application process, prospective students are expected to propose three possible topics for their final project.
Our Lord sent his the Apostles out two by two (Mark 6:7) to preach and minister, and before ascending into Heaven instructed them that He would be present whenever two or three are gathered together in His name (Matt 18:20). Christian ministry, therefore, is defined by Christ Himself as a cooperative work. The D.Min. program fosters and strengthens this sense of cooperation with the cohort system in which a group of students progresses through the program as members of a team.
Members of the cohort develop grow as Christian ministers while supporting one another in the academic and pastoral elements of the program. In addition to the program objectives, it is hoped that members of the cohort will form lasting bonds that will strengthen and enhance their ministries well beyond graduation.
Because the DMin is a program that "enhances the practice of ministry" it is essential for the student to receive regular feedback from persons who interact with the student in his or her practice of ministry. External Review Committee (ERC) members will periodically provide feedback to the student in areas of ministry that are related to the students' work in the program. Feedback will be provided through various means such as brief surveys, interviews and conference calls. At the time of application, each student will specify members for the ERC consisting of: one supervisor (e.g. Diocesan Bishop, chancellor, dean); two peers (e.g. priests, chaplains); and four constituents (e.g. parishioners, people to whom one ministers), all of whom are in regular contact with the student in the context of ministry. The expected time commitment for ERC members is approximately two hours each academic term.
Qualified applicants demonstrate that that they:
- hold a Master of Divinity degree (or 72 graduate semester hours that include a Master's degree representing broad-based work in theology, biblical studies, and the arts of ministry, which includes the supervised practice of ministry).
- have at least three years experience in ministry subsequent to the first theological degree; and are currently serving in a position of ministry.
- are capable of doing doctoral level academic work.
In order to participate in the distance learning portions of the program, students will provide and maintain the following:
- PC or Mac computer running:
- a recent version of Windows, OSX or Linux
- the most recent version of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or Chrome
- a word processor, preferably MS Word
- access to a broadband internet connection

Last week, I picked up the phone and called my dad with the sole purpose of telling him not to read the comments on the pieces I wrote for the Huffington Post divorce section. You see, my dad is fiercely defensive of me, and I could visualize the steam that would come out of his ears when he read some of the less than diplomatic comments. The last thing I wanted him to do was engage with the negative people, but he assured me that he wouldn't do anything stupid. Right as we were about to hang up, he said, "Okay, I'm going to go pick scabs now." And I knew exactly what he meant.
Picking scabs—which has to be the nastiest metaphor imaginable—is code for engaging in behavior that you know isn't good for you emotionally. You know this and yet you simply can't help yourself. In the context of relationships ending, I think many of us muck up the healing process by messing with our metaphorical scabs. Rather than let time and nature take its course, we do any number of potentially stupid things to make ourselves feel worse. Here are a few entirely made-up examples:
Jack told Jill that he just didn't love her anymore.
Jill continues to call Jack repeatedly in an attempt to change his mind, often sobbing her way through a soulful rendition of "their song."
Barb left Ben for a professional athlete.
Ben conducts stealth Facebook missions looking for photos of Barb and her new millionaire boyfriend, who never seems to be wearing a shirt.
Petra and Paul split up when he announced he didn't want kids after all.
Pat gets a "booty call" from Petra whenever she encounters too many Huggies commercials and/or vodka tonics.
Everyone who goes through a divorce does at least one thing to throw their own healing off course, especially in the beginning. I was pretty good at obsessing over my poor decision-making skills, repeatedly beating myself up for deciding to get married in the first place. How did this woulda-coulda-shoulda mentality serve me? Not at all, my friends. Not at all.
We can't change the past. We can only move forward, and as we do, we owe it to ourselves to leave those scabs alone, trusting that if we are patient with ourselves, our wounds will heal. If we can resist the urge to pick, maybe we can minimize the scarring.
I Want to Know
Confession time: What metaphorical scabs do you (or did you) pick?
Story time: Do you have any real (or invented) stories like the three I wrote above?
Would you like to tell your separation or divorce story? Divorced Before 30 takes submissions! Visit me at my other blog, emmasota or find me on twitter @emmasota. And, if you haven't already, please connect with Divorced Before 30 on Facebook!

If you are not well versed in an area you're asked to research, you should first consult secondary sources that explain your area of law. This video explains the different types of secondary sources and shows you how to use them in both print and online formats. View the Video
Using Case Law Digests
A digest provides the only means by which one can conduct systematic, subject specific case law research. Watch this mini-class to learn how to do so in both print and online formats. View the Video
Citator Services
You need to verify that the primary law you're about to rely on is still good law. Learn how to do this in Westlaw and LexisNexis by watching this mini-class video. View the Video
Deciphering Legal Abbreviations/Citation Basics
Are you unsure where to start in the ALWD manual? Watch this video for a quick breakdown of the manual. View the Video

Movie Summary | Infoplease.comPromised Land
Description: Steve Butler, an ace corporate salesman, is sent along with his partner, Sue Thomason, to close a key rural town in his company's expansion plans. With the town having been hit hard by the economic decline of recent years, the two outsiders see the local citizens as likely to accept their company's offer, for drilling rights to their properties, as much-needed relief. What seems like an easy job for the duo becomes complicated by the objection of a respected schoolteacher with support from a grassroots campaign led by another man, as well as the interest of a local woman. The film explores America at the crossroads where big business and the strength of small-town community converge. Movie summaries and listings powered by Cinema-Source

Onyx is a tool for rapid prototyping of database applications. The theory behind Onyx is that any application consists of the following:
Internal tables to store temporary data
Masks to view and edit the date
Transactions between the internal tables and the rest of the world
Transactions can be bound to a menu, an input field, a function key or to the change of the current row of the cursor. So if the user selects a menu item or leaves an input field by pressing return the transaction will automatically be started.
Unlike other 4GLs, Onyx doesn't hide your environment (UNIX/Linux) but gives you the full functionality of the shell. For example, this is how we could print letters using data in an Onyx table combined with the capabilities of shell commands.
export table to pipe { awk | mailmerge | groff -Tps -mm | lpr -Pps; }
It is also possible to import a table using shell commands as in the example below:
import table from pipe { tar xvf /dev/rmt0 | sed "s/ *-> */->/" | sed "s/ */ /g" | sed "s/[^]*$/& &/"; }
And, of course, it is possible to export or import to an SQL statement.
Onyx needs a SQL database which is doing the real work. So its possible to use a SQL anywhere in your Net. I'm normally using Informix on a Sparc II or Ingres at home under Linux.
Databases are named as firstname.lastname@example.com. Supported engines are currently GNU-Awk, Informix, Ingres and SHQL.
The last one (SHQL) is a genius shell-hack which is parsing the SQL by the shell and doing the job by awk. Of course that's really slow. It is included because that is where my idea for the Onyx project came from. Also, you need SHQL because it is used to manage the schema definition (create table, etc) for gawk.
I started looking at Linux in late 91 and since MCC 95c+ I've thown away Xenix and am using Linux at home. As TCP/IP got into 98p1 kernel I thought about using Linux as a client for databases.
In winter 92 I began a project for the "Wasserwirtschaftsamt Bremen" called "Verwaltung von Anlagen mit Wassergefaehrdenden Stoffen". They had a Siemens MX 500 which was so slow that it was possible to roll a cigarette and smoke it to the end when somebody wants to do a query.
I told them that "Client/Server computing is the only solution" and they installed my suggested hardware consisting of a Sparc II and 8 PCs. Having Linux in mind I gave the PCs 8 MB of RAM and a Tseng video card. This was the right idea as I saw later.
Informix SE and NET for the Sparc were delivered together with Informix for MS-DOS. The port of the old database and program was only a job of character conversation between DIN to MS-DOS. (In Germany we always have a umlaute problem.)
The hardware was installed as described above. It was fast enough to do the querys in just a second. Unfortunately, the MS-DOS systems were crashing nearly every hour! We didn't know if it's MS-DOS, PC-NFS, or Informix that was causing the problem. But we knew it was the time to look for a stable operating system. Of course Linux was my choice!
As an interim measure, the MS-DOS systems were used as terminals to telnet into the Sparc and jobs where run on the Sparc. The query times grew to up to half a minute and and I started to hack a better solution using Linux.
Two month later I installed the first version with Linux 99p6. It's now running 99p9. And I now have earned enough money (6,000 DM) to live for the next two years and I'm now rewriting this quick hack that I did in the first month. As there are some more Wasserwirtschaftsaemter (administration of installations with water endangering substances) for the Department of the Environment of the State of Bremen having interest in the program, I will continue the project earning more money and giving the Onyx-4GL to the Internet community. Onyx a killer application for Linux? Large databases are a place where the money is made. So let's talk about money. As I saw it, MS-DOS is bad choice as a possible platform for a database clients. I see two possible solutions:
Use a Mainframe for doing the job
Use Sparc or $CO Unix systems as clients
Both are really expensive choices. With Linux you only need a cheap PC to do the job in client/server computing and you don't have to pay a lot of money to a Unix vendor for every client.
Another possible scenario is needing to upsize an entry-level database from an MS-DOS platform. Let's think about the following configuration
First a 486-bases system with Linux and [university] Ingres as a server
If there are old 286 systems they can be used as terminals
Newer 86 can be upgraded to run the client locally
As the database is growing up you can use a faster (commercial) SQL on a commercial Unix as a server without trouble
DOS applications can be run by QuarterDeck DeskView-X without the posibilty of crashing the database in an xterm on any Linux box, if
DOS applications are really necessary
Such a configuration can be sold to any company and it cost less than a Novell Netware. And if the company has several locations in perhaps different cities its possible to mirror the transactions on normal modem lines which is impossible to do with a traditional database over a remote Novell FS.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Is working for a startup right for you?
Molly Epstein loves her job. Since last May, she has been creating computer-aided 3-D models of jewelry for Ritani.com, a high-end diamond and jewelry e-commerce company. Working for a tech startup -- among user-interface designers, programmers and marketing whizzes -- has been a wonderful experience, she says.
"They're open to my ideas," Epstein says. "They listened to me about which programs to buy, and they have the money to back my ideas and what I wanted to do."
It's an autonomy and openness that may not be found in larger businesses with multiple layers of management. Epstein says the enthusiastic, collaborative spirit extends to the daily meetings, where every employee updates one another on progress, challenges and successes, and to the weekly meetings, where the executive team updates all the employees. "It's nice to feel included, instead of just working on your thing and not talking to anybody else," she says.
Of course, she has also burned the midnight bytes -- before the launch date, Epstein and other co-workers would stay until 10:30 p.m., and the programmers were on call throughout the night.
The startup environment isn't for everyone. Those who like the extra perks that come with a large business, such as a workplace cafeteria, might not be as comfortable at a startup, Epstein says.
Fitting in
Are you ready to work at a startup? It comes down to fit.
Starting up in Seattle
Perhaps because of the successful hive of big-tech players in the Puget Sound region (Microsoft, Adobe, Google, Amazon), creative minds buzz in the area. People are willing to start their own company -- or get hired by the Next Big Thing.
"In 2011 and again in 2012, there were 113 deals into companies in the Seattle area [in the 206, 425 and 253 area codes] that got venture funding," says John Taylor, researcher at the National Venture Capital Association. Those statistics are based on the PricewaterhouseCoopers/National Venture Capital Association MoneyTree Report from Thompson Reuters data.
An ability to be self-directed is critical, says Ophir Ronen, who has worked as both a founder and an employee at several Seattle-area startups. "'Fire and forget' is the term that comes to mind," he says — meaning a manager can fire off tasks to a resourceful employee, trusting him or her to possess the ingenuity to accomplish the job, no matter what skills or resources it takes.
Employees at startups "should be able to dive in and discover the resources that they need, even if there is a lack of documentation," Ronen says. "They should be looking at ways that they can improve existing processes, documentation -- essentially anything relating to the scaling of the company."
Young people are a great fit for tech startups, says recruiter Kim Frost, who works with startups in the tech field, including the gaming industry.
"Millennials tend to be risk takers," Frost says, which makes sense for someone with a budding career. There's social clout in being able to say, "I was instrumental in developing that; that's mine," which builds an early-career employee brand. But all ages are attracted by stock options and opportunities for continuing education and paid-time-off flexibility, she says.
Learning multiple skills
At a startup, employees can improve their skills in multiple areas simultaneously. "The lack of a pigeonhole means that you can rapidly gain experience in areas that you would not get exposure to in a typical 'Bigco,'" or corporation, Ronen says.
Their resumes will reflect that versatility and real-world knowledge, while it could take years to gain equivalent experience at a larger business.
Startups may also support a variety of remote work options. Ronen's current company, Cascadeo Corporation, employs about 80 people, a mix of full-time employees and contractors who work in the U.S., the Philippines and Israel. "We've been virtual from inception, and all of our systems support working from anywhere, anytime," he says.
Risk factors
Three out of four startups fail, according to recent research from Harvard Business School. "Of those that do eventually succeed, most endure rejections and failures along the way," says Shauna Causey, vice president of research and marketing at shopping service Decide.com.
So pack a good attitude and a sense of adventure for time spent with a startup. "Long before customers and the market validate what you're doing, the optimism you bring to work every day allows you to enjoy the journey," Causey says.
That often-hectic journey -- from incomplete org charts to desk space -- doesn't scare off startup employees, although it might worry or discomfit some. "People coming from large organizations typically have a very hard time fitting into these environments, because they are so chaotic," Ronen says.
And about that desk? "People are sitting on top of each other and the workplace is bursting at the seams" at many startups, recruiter Frost says. Tech startups sound glamorous, but in reality, you might be opening your laptop in a crowded conference room if employee hiring has outpaced seats.
"The most important trait is being able to thrive on uncertainty," Causey says. "Specifically, the ability to see uncertainty as a future that hasn't been written yet but is full of opportunity," along with a willingness to learn. "If you're not willing to learn and adapt quickly, it can be a frustrating experience," she says.
The startup market
If you think you can handle the perks and pitfalls of the startup environment, hot jobs include Web app developers, software engineers and infrastructure engineers, according to Frost. "Startups still want to hire good people," she says, "and they can't hire people fast enough."
"It's vital to be able to play multiple roles," Causey says. "So having generalists -- a technical generalist, a communications generalist and people who can support the business in multiple roles -- is really important. With priorities changing frequently, the scope of work often changes much more rapidly than an established, large company."
Recruiting isn't often done using Facebook or Twitter; conventional networking and LinkedIn are more popular. To find a tech startup job, attend Meetup groups (for example, Frost says there's a PHP developers group) and use social media to figure out who's hiring.
NWjobs.com has a special tech category for job seekers, who can browse tech jobs by title or by keywords such as Linux, Ruby or Android.
Before applying for a job at a tech startup, make sure you believe in the business and the business model, Frost says. Employees need to invest plenty of enthusiasm, so the business must make sense, from funding to vision.
If you don't enjoy games, a position at a gaming startup might not be a good fit, even if you would be working with cool tech or pull in a decent salary, Frost says. Understand the problems to be solved, the opportunities for growth and how you fit into the business's vision.
On your interview, ask how the business is funded or about backers, Frost suggests. "If a company doesn't want to divulge, I would pause," she says, particularly if you have an elderly parent or children depending upon your income. If you're more comfortable with risk, the position might still be a fit.
Startups are difficult, time-intensive investments and rarely make money, Causey says. "You'll only last if you love it, so we want to hire people who have 'a love of the game,'" she says.
At Ritani.com, the executive team of five employees has expanded to 20, and Epstein is now more than 30 weeks pregnant, expecting twins within weeks. "I was really nervous at first about how they would react to my pregnancy," she says. "But the executive team are all parents, and they've been super supportive."
She's finishing out her last few weeks at home, thanks to her employer's creative, problem-solving approach.

Key facts about automatic enrolment
People are living longer which means there will gradually be less working people compared to an increasing number of retired people.
So from October 2012 the Government are introducing new legislation to get more people saving for their future. This will mean that employers will have to automatically enrol certain employees into a pension scheme and make contributions on their behalf.
Automatic enrolment and the employer duties will be a big challenge for employers and they're likely to look to you for help. We want to help you make the most of this opportunity so you can help employers prepare for their new duties. Here you'll find the key facts about the employer duties and what they mean for employers and their employees.
When it's happening
The main employer duties are being introduced in stages from October 2012. Employers need to identify their staging date to determine when the duties first apply. This also sets the date for automatic re-enrolment.
The effect on pension schemes
Most employers will have to set up and contribute to a pension scheme suitable for automatic enrolment. Automatic enrolment schemes must meet three sets of criteria.
The effect on the workforce
Employers must assess their workforce to determine which type of worker they employ. Workers can be categorised as eligible jobholders, non-eligible jobholders or entitled workers.
Employer duties
Employers will have different duties depending on the types of worker they employ. They'll need to automatically enrol some workers into an automatic enrolment scheme and arrange membership of a pension scheme for others.
Keeping records
Employers will be responsible for the ongoing maintenance of the scheme and have an obligation to keep certain records. This includes information about their workers and the pension scheme which must be provided to TPR when requested.
The Pensions Regulator (TPR)
The employer duties are not optional. TPR will ensure employers comply with the new duties. Although their approach will be to educate and encourage compliance, employers will face substantial fines or even imprisonment if they don't comply.
The National Employment Savings Trust (NEST)
NEST is a pension scheme that employers can use to meet their employer duties. It's aimed at low to medium earners and small employers.

Spartan Camp #243 - 50 gestures + Optional "Running/Jumping Study"
The aim is to produce 50 gestures by Sunday the 4th of November.
- The gestures can be of anything, human, animal, cavorting capybaras.... You can draw full figures, but you can also go for heads, arms, eyes, or anything specific. All media can be used, both digital or traditional. Coloured or black/white. Quick scribbles or long studies. Imagination or referenced. Clothed or nude. Specifics are up to you!
- In addition to this, participants can choose to do an Optional "Running/Jumping", in any medium.
Additional notes on this weeks Optional Study:
The Background
When gesture drawing from reference, for instance when using gesture drawing tools, we tend to come cross poses that may be dynamic, but are also stable. These reference images are frequently taken in studios, and taking optimal pictures tend to require relatively fixed positions.
The Exercise
This week, the optional study will focus a little on the type of poses we tend to see less in our reference images because they require a lot of room, momentum and movement. Examples include jumping, running, diving, falling, sliding, and so forth. Lots of action, moving the entire body as a whole. You can study one or several of these figures, the best way to do this may be by including some of these poses in your usual set of gestures.
No specific links for now, feel free to do suggestions. For the sake of this study, sports images and dancers come to mind.
As always- reference advised, not obligatory. Colour, medium, time frame, any specifics are up to you! Good luck and have fun! And feel free to ask questions!
Upcoming Optional Studies
Specialized anatomy study - The name may change. The study will include choosing a single anatomical target (say, an arm), and producing three sketches. One addresses the skeleton, one for the inner anatomy such as musculature, and one is an outer view.
50 poses is a challenge, but don't hurry or stress yourself reaching it! Focus on drawing, as practising is the main goal of this exercise.
Criticizing each other is highly encouraged!! Share constructive criticism, reference images and resources!! Let's help each other get better!
Come on soldiers! Flex those muscles!!

Major Outage at Seattle Data Center
July 3rd, 2009 By: Rich Miller
Multiple data centers at Seattle's Fisher Plaza are offline after a fire in an electrical vault, which has left much of the complex without power and generator support. The largest impact has been extended downtime for the payment portal Authorize.net, which was offline for hours, leaving thousands of merchants unable to process credit card payments through their web sites. The downtime has also affected Microsoft's Bing Travel service, Geocaching.com, domain registrar Dotster and web hosting provider AdHost, along with dozens of other sites.
UPDATE: Power was restored early Saturday morning, July 4, and tenants report that servers are coming back online. As of 10 a.m. Eastern Saturday, Geocaching and AdHostare are back online, but Bing Travel continues to display a message about the outage.
Authorize.net has since been able to restore its web site and most of its processing services through a backup data center. But with key electrical systems out of action for an indefinite period, building staff are turning to portable generators to provide an interim solution for tenants, who are being told that power may be restored sometime Friday evening.
"Fisher officials, CP Management and Egis Engineering have been coordinating with Seattle City Light to restore power to the building," building owner Fisher Communications aid in a statement. "Fisher is bringing in electrical generators to restore power to the building, at which time it can further assess the situation. The company is working to restore normal service to its customers as soon as possible."
Fisher said the electrical fire started at 11:10 p.m. Pacific time Thursday in a garage-level electrical room where Fisher Plaza East receives its power from Seattle City Light. "The cause of the electrical fire remains under investigation, and the sompany is working closely with Seattle City Light and outside experts to determine what caused this incident," said Fisher.
There are first-person reports from the scene from TechFlash and a blog post from Jeremy from GeoCaching about his visit to the building. Blogger Kyle Mulka is compiling a list of affected sites.
An account on the NANOG mailing list reports that the incident triggered the sprinkler system in an electrical equipment room. As noted in the NANOG report, water damage could complicate recovery efforts
This is the second major outage at Fisher Plaza in the past year. Last June many sites at the building were offline after an electrical event at the building. Fisher Plaza previously had a major outage in 2006 (more details here on that incident). The owner of the building, which also houses the operations of Seattle TV and radio stations, has been attempting to sell Fisher Plaza.
The incident is being discussed at Web Hosting Talk and on Twitter.

While driving past the feedlots and smelling that 'smell' on our way to this park, we thought, 'oh oh..this doesn't look or smell good..' but, no worries. A nice little park. Wonderful park host who directed us to our site. We would definitely stay here again. We were tired and it was a welcome refuge. Rate reflects Passport America and we stayed one night.

This is a nice park. Even nicer folks in the office. Sparkling clean facility. Wi-Fi is excellent. The sites although sparse, are level. Located close to Fry's, Wal-mart, Lowe's, etc. There is a bit of freeway noise but when inside the coach: who cares? Price reflects weekly rate including tax. Will definitely stay here again. These people can't seem to do enough for you and we had a lovely time. Pool was 91F and again, squeaky clean.

Used Reception Desks and Area
The reception area is the first thing people see when they walk into your office so of course you'd like it to be welcoming, professional and functional. Designing and furnishing a reception area is not rocket science but there are a couple things you should take into account before buying. Most reception areas include a waiting area for the customers and a workstation for the receptionist. Receptionists need privacy so that they can concentrate on their work and so that sensitive material is not open to the public. He or she also needs to be accessible to the clients. With that in mind, you can browse our selection or contact one of our representatives and we'll help you get what you need at a price you like.

GO TO THE ER. At the very least call your doctor/midwife. I know a fall on your tummy is dangerous and can cause bleeding and can put both you and baby in danger. Don't sit and wonder. Go get checked out!
Call your doctor. Are you bleeding? Is baby moving? Giggle your tummy to wake baby up. Or rest a cold drink on your belly, that always gets DS rolling.
You should really just call your doctor. See what she says. Baby could just be sleeping. My baby is bothered by cold but yours might not mind. Call your doctor.
If this is real- go to the emergency room! If this is a prank- not funny at all.
The baby should be more important than you getting into trouble. Call your doctor. There is nothing anyone can do online.
There is nothing anyone can do online really. You aren't bleeding. Maybe baby moved. There isnt a whole lot else. Obviously I dont know your whole situation but if I were in your shoes I'd be hailing a cab and on my way to the ER. Sorry there isnt much else that can be done via Mothering.com. You need a nonstress test. Hope for the best. You see your OB tomorrow.
You brother should be arrested for assault. Call a friend and go get checked out.
Most definetly a hard blow to the belly can harm the baby. Can cause the placenta to tear and you to bleed internally which puts your baby in danger as well as you. My concern is whether or not you are bleeding out. Damage to the baby itself not too sure about. There is a lot of padding between the baby and the outside world. Its so hard to say and I am no doctor.
there can be internal bleeding that you can't tell is happening, you really should call a friend to get a ride and get yourself to the doctor's office, if there is internal damage they may have to take the baby out in order to prevent further problems.. You need to suck it up and admit what happened to your doctor, even if you wait til tomorrow your Dr. needs to know what happened or he won't know what to check for ..

Mars and the value of science
The Mars rover Curiosity has been making its first tentative drives on the surface of the Red Planet. Soon, it will make a quarter-mile journey away from Bradbury Landing to explore a site called Glenelg, where it'll examine rock formations.
On this month's edition of The Digital Future, Strategic News Service publisher Mark Anderson tells KPLU's Dave Meyer that the August 5th Mars landing is more than just another triumph for NASA; it's a reminder that science is reality.
In his recent article, What Mars Means to Earth, Mark writes:
At a time when a large and increasing fraction of the U.S. population does not "believe in" science (i.e., objectively provable reality) – or, worse, has bought into the idea that science is just one choice on the reality menu – NASA has again given concrete reason to understand that science works, and that science is not an option, not a theory, not a menu item, but instead represents the finest efforts of human minds in understanding, and addressing, objective reality.
Mark thinks the Mars mission will help inspire young people to pursue careers in science, but it's just one piece of the puzzle. Huge discoveries are being made in all areas of science these days, and the media need to do a better job of conveying these discoveries to the rest of us.
Mark says the public needs to recognize "the value of science and how it can take us forward as a people, not as a party but as a people," and how it can help us make smarter decisions and get things done.

Archived: P2Rx no longer updates the narrative information, however the links are maintained.
Improper or overuse of fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides can harm the environment and public health.1 Here are some suggestions to reduce the need for yard chemicals:
Even regular use of pesticides can harm the environment. Studies have shown that children and pets living in homes that use pesticides have higher rates of cancer and other health problems.2 Integrated pest management (IPM) is a sustainable approach to managing pests that minimizes chemical use. IPM emphasizes the integration of multiple pest suppression technologies, some of which are appropriate for homeowners, such as:
Thoughtful lawn maintenance can save money and resources. People in the U.S. spend over 30 billion dollars annually on lawn maintenance.3 Mowing grass to a height of about three inches is important for sustaining a happy and healthy lawn, and cuts down on water and energy use. Keeping grass length longer helps the roots grow deeper, making them better able to reach water. Longer grass also creates shade, which makes it harder for weeds to establish themselves. Also, after mowing the lawn, it is important to leave the clippings on the ground to provide free fertilizer. To save even more money, homeowners can reduce the size of their lawns by dedicating some portion of them to growing native plants.
Strategic landscaping can also reduce gas and electricity bills. Proper placement of trees can decrease the need to heat and cool homes by providing shade and wind breaks.
Composting yard and food waste (as described in the Food section) can reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and provide free fertilizer. Some towns have compost programs for the entire town.

Fatty acid metabolism has received significant attention as a route for producing high-energy density, liquid transportation fuels and high-value oleochemicals from renewable feedstocks. If microbes can be engineered to produce these compounds at yields that approach the theoretical limits of 0.3–0.4g/g glucose, then processes can be developed to replace current petrochemical technologies. Here, we review recent metabolic engineering efforts to maximize production of free fatty acids (FFA) in Escherichia coli, the first step towards production of downstream products. To date, metabolic engineers have succeeded in achieving higher yields of FFA than any downstream products. Regulation of fatty acid metabolism and the physiological effects of fatty acid production will also be reviewed from the perspective of identifying future engineering targets.

Budget cutters weigh fate of up to 9 state parks
Dee Jacques Moynihans
February 11, 2013 | Updated: February 12, 2013 9:00am
In the past five years, Hurricane Ike nearly wiped two popular beachfront parks from the map in Galveston and Sabine Pass. Record-setting wildfires incinerated thousands more acres of state parkland. The historic drought killed countless trees and continues to punish West Texas parks such as San Angelo, which banned all recreation on its nearly bone-dry lake. And then there's the repairs needed for aging historic sites such as the Battleship Texas.To continue reading this story, you will need to be a digital subscriber to HoustonChronicle.com.
