Risk Analyst Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5+ weeks – interviewed at Allianz in September 2012.
Application : I applied for this position after receiving an email from their HR detailing the job description. The role was in Trivandrum, India with on-site opportunity in Germany for a couple of years.
Round 1: A week passes. I get a call from them fixing a preliminary telephonic interview appointment at 3PM on a particular day. No call at 3PM - I wait till 3:30 and call them up myself asking if the interview is on. I get a call back at 3:45 asking if it's a good time to go ahead with the round. The questions were pretty basic. They ask my salary expectation and I quote "X" and clearly tell them I will not move below X.
Round 2: Another week passes by. I get a phone call from them saying I've been shortlisted and they schedule another round of telephonic interview at 5PM that day. At 5:15, I get a call back saying the interview has been rescheduled to the next day and I should expect a call anytime from 8:30 AM onward. No one calls that day (surprise surprise!) - and no mention of cancellation either. They finally called me after a few days for another round of preliminary screening (this was almost a repetition of the questions asked in the first round - but by a different person).
Round 3: A week passes by again, they get back to me saying I've been shortlisted and a 1:1 interview is scheduled in Trivandrum. This part was well planned out. There were two technical rounds with people from Germany and this was the best part of the whole exercise. The questions were quite challenging and the process went very smooth. This actually gave me hope to proceed further.
Round 4: Got shortlisted a couple of days later. Another HR round was scheduled between 12 and 12:15 PM on a particular day - they call me at 12:50 (surprise surprise!). The questions were again repeated from the two preliminary rounds. They ask my salary expectations again - I say I will not move below 'X".
Round 5: Another round was scheduled a week later with the same HR from round 2 between 5 and 6PM on a particular day. I get a call exactly at 6:05. They say 'Y' which is substantially below X. I said they can offer what they want - but it will not make sense for me to move below 'X". Another round of bargaining. I clearly mention I'll not be interested at the pay they are offering me.
Round 6: Another HR round - but with a senior HR that lasted for 45 minutes who tried to do his share of convincing me why the move is good. Fair play this time though - this went smooth. There were a few statements like "I'm the senior manager here and generally I don't talk with people who are being recruited but I'm making an exception in your case" - yeah sure.
Final: I get the offer, which is well above 'Y" but below 'X - I reject. Made up my mind after round 4 that I'd be rejecting this irrespective of what they offer.
1) The work would have been pretty good, especially while in Germany.
2) Good technical interview round.
1) I would have to work under these people in India - that would have been equivalent to a career suicide (oh did I mention that this role involved ~ a 4 year bond?).
2) Inconsistent HR policies. I was in touch with a few other candidates throughout the entire process and each of us had been told one thing about their 'policies'. This would apply probably only to their Indian off-shore unit. I'm sure their head-office is pretty good. This Indian off-shore unit should stick to hiring call center employees.
3) Extremely bad time management for a German company.
4) If they thought my expectations was too high for my experience, why waste time with the other rounds?

The London SE1 website has an article on the calls by Simon Hughes MP and Caroline Pidgeon AM for the subway at Bricklayers Arms to be closed down, following recent muggings in the underpasses.
You can read the full story here.
Caroline Pidgeon, Lib Dem chair of the London Assembly's Transport Committee, has proposed a five-point plan to get the Northern line upgrade completed with the minimum possible disruption to residents and businesses who rely on the line.
In a letter to Ed Fordham, the Lib Dem parliamentary candidate for Hampstead and Kilburn, Caroline makes these proposals:
Caroline joined fellow Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidates at a visit to Edgware on Thursday 1st April to see the upgrade works for the Northern line trains. Run by private partner Tubelines, the delegation talked to Tubelines staff about the problems with the proposed closures to the Northern line whilst it is upgraded and discussed other options such as closing smaller bits of the line for a week or two at a time to get the works done quickly and without damaging business for many traders as well as local residents.
"It was very interesting to see the upgrade works to the trains, in particular the huge amount of cabling that is hidden behind the walls of the trains! I hope that Tubelines and Transport for London will get together and find a way forward so that we can get the upgrades done as quickly and painlessly as possible for the sake of Londoners" added Caroline.
Caroline joined Southwark Liberal Democrats, Simon Hughes MP and special guest Theo Paphitis, from Dragon's Den fame and former Chair of Millwall Football Club, to launch the Southwark Liberal Democrat campaign for the Council, and Simon Hughes's re-election campaign for Bermondsey and Old Southwark.
"It was wonderful to see so many local members and residents who came to support Simon and the team, as well as to meet Theo" said Caroline.
Caroline Pidgeon, Lib Dem London Assemly Member, joined local Liberal Democrats for a large 'demo' outside Turnham Green Tube Station, continuing the Lib Dems' their campaign to get Piccadilly Line tubes to stop there all day.
Councillor Gary Malcolm handed a document to Caroline Pidgeon, which she will pass to the Mayor of London asking for a meeting to discuss the possibilities of a 6 month trial to extend the short early morning and late evening stops at the station (which are often unannounced so customers either get to the wrong destination or miss out).

Jennifer Aniston's "Rachel" Stylist Joins Her at Living Proof
The "Rachel" is coming back! Well - sort of. Jennifer Aniston and her celebrity hair stylist, Chris McMillan are teaming up again to work with Living Proof, the Boston-based beauty company that the Aniston joined last fall as a co-owner and hair care spokeswoman.
McMillan created the famed "Rachel" haircut cut for Aniston's role in "Friends" in the Nineties. And now, he is bringing his relationship with Aniston and other high-profile celebrity clients, his red carpet experience and great reputation to Living Proof.
Jill Beraud, Living Proof chief executive officer, noted that McMillan will provide the company with a connection to the salon community. "He will help us develop more cutting-edge products with his tremendous energy and ideas while using his incredible talent to inspire stylists and consumers everywhere," she said.
The first time McMillan has stepped into an endorsement role, who owns salons in Beverly Hills and Malibu, Calif. But he fell in love with Living Proof's products. McMillan was impressed by the brand's roster of scientists and how they worked to create a molecule that increased penetration of the hair. But it was putting the products to the test in his salons that really won him over.
He added, "It worked; it's simple - period, and it's not complicated."
Living Proof's cofounder and editorial stylist Ward Stegerhoek stated, "Chris is a really gifted stylist and amazing when it comes to cutting hair. He knows how to create looks that women want - aspirational but attainable at the same time."

So much for Tiger Woods' ace in the hole.
Saying it would give credence to an obviously staged event, the Golf Writers Association of America has announced that it is going to pass on the press conference the No. 1 golfer in the world called to address the madness that has been his life since November.
Not that the 950 members of the GWAA are going to completely ignore what Woods has to say...
It's just that none of them are going to make a point of going to Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., in order to hear their sport's heavily tarnished golden boy read a speech.
"I cannot stress how strongly our board felt that this should be open to all media and also for the opportunity to question Woods," GWAA president Vartan Kupelian said Thursday.
"The position, simply put, is all or none. This is a major story of international scope. To limit the ability of journalists to attend, listen, see and question Woods goes against the grain of everything we believe."
According to the GWAA, Woods' camp initially offered them three spots in the media pool, while another three were given to the Associated Press, Reuters and Bloomberg News Service.
They ultimately upped the ante to six spots for GWAA members, but the board turned them down.
Nineteen board members voted in favor of boycotting the event, while four disagreed and three abstained.
Not abstaining from commenting in the meantime is Woods' fellow PGA Tour pro Ernie Els, who told Golfweek magazine that Tiger scheduling a presser on the same day that the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship will be heating up in Arizona does a disservice to their sport.
"It's selfish," the South African golfer said. "You can write that. I feel sorry for the sponsor. Mondays are a good day to make statements, not Friday. This takes a lot away from the golf tournament."
Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, told the mag that they were careful to schedule the conference "well outside the tournament's TV window."
And what do you know? The PGA Tour also said that Woods was actually helping the sport.
"We have tournaments every week," Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said. "I think it's going to be a story in and of itself. A lot of people are going to be watching golf this week to see what the world of golf says about it, my guess is. So that will be a good thing."

It comes after raised tensions surrounding a number of recent events and a subsequent apology from the Royal Black Institution to clergy and parishioners of a Catholic church in north Belfast.
According to Rev Gibson, the Orange Order "fully supports" the Royal Black.
"We agree with all the sentiments expressed in their statement," he told UTV Political Editor Ken Reid on Friday.
The Loyal Orders have also withdrawn an application to parade past the Ardoyne shops on the morning of their Ulster Covenant demonstration.
In a statement, also issued on Friday, the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland said: "We are genuinely committed in finding a just and equitable resolution to these matters."
Rev Gibson added: "I think people realise that there are quiet talks going on behind the scenes, trying to resolve issues.
"We want to take any tension out of the situation."
Dialogue is the way forward - at this moment in time, we are having quiet conversations.Rev Mervyn Gibson
Dialogue is the way forward - at this moment in time, we are having quiet conversations.
Rev Mervyn Gibson
While Rev Gibson said he saw "no difficulty" in meeting residents' groups to discuss any problems, he added that he understood why some Orangemen weren't ready to talk directly to Sinn Féin.
"We, the Orange Institution, are a broad institution," he said.
"There are some people who are prepared to talk to Sinn Féin - it's well-known I've talked to Sinn Féin in the past.
"But equally, I understand there are many of our members who are still suffering hurt because of Sinn Féin/IRA's actions over the years and they'd find it difficult to talk to them."
He added: "I don't believe as an institution we're at that stage to talk directly to Sinn Féin."
Asked about the claims that loyalist paramilitaries - namely the UVF - had orchestrated recent protests over parades, Rev Gibson told UTV that people with such a background may have been involved in talks.
"[Loyal Orders] will talk to local community groups, they'll talk to bands, they'll talk to the Parades Forum - because they're all part of the community," he said.
"In some of those forums, there may be people of a paramilitary past.
"That doesn't prevent us from talking to them."

LGBT comics Archives - Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources
Comics A.M. | Three of Zunar's assistants arrested
Legal | Three assistants of the Malaysian political cartoonist Zunar were arrested last week for selling his books. They were set up near the Putrajaya courthouse, where opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is on trial for sodomy, a charge Ibrahim claims is politically motivated. In a press release, Zunar said the three assistants were "investigated under The Sedition Act, Penal Code and Printing and Press Act" and released on bail. It has only been a month since a Malaysian appeals court overturned a government ban on two of Zunar's books. [Cartoonists Rights Network International]

Prism Comics opens submissions for 2014 Queer Press Grant
Prism Comics, the nonprofit organization that supports lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender creators, comics and readers, has opened submissions for the 2014 Queer Press Grant.
The grant is awarded to writers/artists or teams self-publishing comic books, comic strips, webcomics or graphic novels with significant LGBT characters and themes; creators don't need to be LGBT to apply. Entries are judged by the Prism board and past recipients based first on artistic merit, and then financial need, proposal presentation and the work's contributions to the LGBT community.
The grant is funded through donations from creators and fans. Past winners include Hazel Newlevant, Robert Kirby, Eric Orner and Megan Rose Gedris.
Guidelines can be found on the Prism Comics website. The deadline for proposals is Sept. 1; the recipient will be announced at the Alternative Press Expo, held Oct. 4-5 in San Francisco.
Comics A.M. | This weekend, Motor City Comic Con marks 25 years
Conventions | The doors open today on the 25th annual Motor City Comic Con, held through Sunday in Novi, Michigan, northwest of Detroit. Comics guests include Art Baltazar, Elizabeth Breitweiser, Talent Caldwell, Chris Claremont, Matthew Clark, Gerry Conway, Katie Cook, J.M. DeMatteis, Clayton Henry, Mike McKone, Jame O'Barr, Ryan Ottley, Dave Petersen, Don Rosa, Bill Sienkiewicz, Charles Soule, Mark Waid and Skottie Young. The Detroit Free Press previews the event, and speaks with Claremont, while Metro Times provides a beginner's guide. [Motor City Comic Con]
Digital comics | Kate Reynolds looks at the recent Image Humble Bundle promotion and compares it to sales of hard copies of the individual titles in comics shops. Her key insight is that this is Image's first attempt to sell comics directly to the video game audience rather than established readers: "Many people who check the Humble website with some frequency may have been surprised to see comics books on a video game page, and for many, surprise turned to intrigue. While it's impossible to tell whether the purchasers of the Image bundle were frequent comic buyers or not, it's logical to assume that many were not. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if for some, the Image bundle was the first comic purchase of their lives." [feminism/geekery]
Comics A.M. | NARR8 claims motion comics boost reader retention
Comics | Tierney Sneed went to the Women in Comics panel at New York Comic Con and then hit the floor to talk to creators (and also yours truly) about the mismatch between the number of women comics readers and the industries that cater to them, including the publishers and cons like NYCC (where women made up 35% of attendees but only 6% of guests). [U.S. News & World Report]
Digital Comics | I interviewed Darya Trushkina, vice president for business development of NARR8, a digital comics app that features motion comics with some gamelike features. Here's what caught my attention: When I asked her why they went with motion comics, she said "It boosts our retention rate and boosts usage significantly." Their retention rate—readers who return to the app—is 50%, and the average session is 15 minutes. [Good E-Reader]

Mevagissey is an ancient Cornish fishing village, with a bustling harbour which is still working today. There are a few very old pubs, full of the smuggling legacy of the area, as well as some wonderful restaurants and little shops full of treasures. The Lost Gardens of Heligan is 5 minutes away, The Eden Project is 20 minutes away, the market town of St Austell is 10 minutes drive and the larger city of Truro is 25 minutes away. There are lots of sandy beaches within 20 minutes drive of St Austell - the wilder north coast of Cornwall famed for its surfing is within 30 minutes drive.

"Exactly what we were looking for"
Wonderful surprise on arrival - a full table of , tea, scones and jam - no sooner had wished I had picked up clotted cream at the butchers on the way I discovered some in the fridge with 2 pints of milk... Perfect!
The Cottage is a good size, spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable. The decking ensures you can catch some sunshine even if you are in need of a lazy day! The steps up may be a bit tricky for some but even with my fear of heights it was manageable.
The location is perfect, just minutes from parking and the bus stop, restaurants and pubs and of course the harbour side.
Cannot wait to return again!
Thank you for such a lovely review. We hope to see you back in Cornwall very soon.

We must apologise - the previous guests the week before obviously were not very good at washing up and we should have checked this. We acted immediately and cleaned out all the cupboards and re-washed all the crockery and pans.

Jessica Simpson Shows Off New Henna Tattooby Free Britney at . Comments
Returning from her recent trip to India, where she was filming her upcoming reality show The Price of Beauty, Jessica Simpson showed off a Henna tattoo.
Nice to see she picked up some new ink while visiting that wonderful nation. Too bad she couldn't pick up any singing or acting talent while she was there.
"The intricate Mehndi designs are typically Indian, and made with a turmeric paste," her rep tells London's Daily Mail of Jessica Simpson's new tattoo.
"They're worn at wedding ceremonies and are supposed to bring good luck to eligible single women in India. It's a big style statement. These extremely intricate designs usually take hours to apply by hand using a brush. The artists are very skilled."
Unlike a certain "artist" we know. Sorry.
Click to enlarge the Jessica Simpson pictures below to see it ...
What do you think of Jessica Simpson's new tattoo?
While in India, Jessica also got a bindi dot on her forehead (above, left) as she hit up a Bollywood party at the capital's glitzy Vie Lounge earlier this week.
Simpson was a guest of Neha Dhupia, the Indian "beauty ambassador" on the singer's show. We don't know what that means, but it sounds really awesome.
Simpson's upcoming reality show, scheduled to air on VH1, documents what beauty means in different cultures. It also documents her being a moron a lot.
Honestly who really cares?
Why do people hate Jessica so much!!!? Fo reals!!!? She ain't done nothin' to nobody!!!!!! I GET SO GODDAMN SICK AND TIRED OF FUCKIN' BULLSHIT LIKE THIS EASILY!!!!! I mean it!!! Knock off the hating, it's gettin' old!!!! Move on to somethin' new!!!!!! CUZ IF Y'ALL DON'T... I'M GONNA START KICKIN' SOMEPEOPLE'S ASSES!!!!! I mean I particularly don't prefere tha tattoo but I think she's stunningly gorgeous no matter what!! I mean like drop-dead gorgeous(Drop Dead Diva) With or Without any kinda tattoo on her hand... Come Hell or High Water!! So please people... Stop hatin'!!!!!!!!
Response to Suz: Yeah you are correct. I was hoping it was fake. When I become big like Perez Hilton I will have my Starbuck Fetcher do the research first. For now I will just comment on what I see and honestly I love Jessica but the tat is ugly.
BlogKingNyc --- henna tattoos aren't permanent. Might want to look things up when you're not sure what they are.
Jessica doesn't do a thing to hurt anybody else. Think about that, harpies, while penning nasties about her. Your day will come. Karma's a bitch.
That's funny!!!!!! I just tweeted on BlogKingNyc how ugly this tat is........ I hope it's fake. she needs Britney Spears DAD to monitor her now. I think she was so pretty until this. Hey Jessica! It's easy to write over a name but now you have to cut your whole hand off when you wake up from what ever high you had in India. Must have some good stuff in India......
Harsh, all she did was get a henna tatto while visiting another country and that caused a whole post of hateing on her. I don't think she is that bad lol shes got a great voice she just needs a good producer and some good songs!

Document - India: Jammu and Kashmir detentions used to keep people 'out of circulation'

AI Index: ASA 20/008/2011
India: Jammu and Kashmir detentions used to keep people 'out of circulation'
On 21 March 2011, Amnesty International will launch a new report revealing how administrative detention in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir is being used to detain people for years at a time, without trial, depriving them of basic human rights otherwise provided under Indian law.
A Lawless Law: Detentions under the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act, documents how authorities are using the Public Safety Act to secure the long-term detention of political activists, suspected members or supporters of armed groups and a range of other individuals against whom there is insufficient evidence for a trial or conviction to 'keep them out of circulation'.
It is the first report by Amnesty International about Jammu and Kashmir since 2000.

Peter Robinson Apologises For Muslim Comments
Northern Ireland First Minister Peter Robinson has publicly apologised for his controversial comments about Muslims.
Speaking last week, he said he would not trust Muslims for spiritual guidance but would to "go down the shops for me".
He made the comments while defending a sermon by Pastor James McConnell, in which the pastor branded Islam "satanic" and a "doctrine spawned in hell".
The First Minister met leaders of the Muslim community in Belfast on Tuesday night after claiming his words had been misinterpreted.
He said he had made a "face-to-face, man-to-man apology".
"I made it very clear to the people present tonight that I apologise for any offence that I might have caused," said Mr Robinson.
"The very last thing that I would have ever have in my mind would be to cause anyone hurt or distress or to insult them and I make that publicly clear as well in the clearest possible terms.
"I cannot spend the rest of my life apologising but what I can do is spend the rest of my life building the united community that I believe we want in Northern Ireland."
Mr Robinson, speaking to the Irish News, had defended Pastor Connell's right to criticise Islam, but was widely castigated for his comments.
He told the newspaper he would not trust Muslims for spiritual guidance, or those engaged in terrorist acts.
But he added: "Would I trust them to go down the shops for me? Of course I would. Would I trust them to do a number of other lifetime, normal day-to-day issues? There's no reason why you wouldn't."
The controversy has erupted at a time when police figures show race hate attacks in Northern Ireland are on the increase.
Two Pakistani men were attacked in Belfast at the weekend in an apparent racist attack.

01.11.14 - 23.11.14
OUTLINES is an exhibition exploring and celebrating the shapes and patterns created by the landscape of the British countryside. Bringing together three contemporary artists, all of whom create work in response to the rural landscape, this exhibition highlights its contoured forms and graphic arrangements. From the gently undulating Oxfordshire hills, to the striated skies of the Devonshire coastline, these images create a visual language of joyous colour and abridged form.
This exhibition predominantly showcases the medium of printmaking, with an emphasis on the process of lino-cutting, via the work of Susan Wheeler and Colin Moore. Both artists exemplify how this traditional printing method (deriving from the ancient technique of woodcutting) can produce such fresh, contemporary imagery. Wheeler and Moore's work is accompanied by that of Anna Dillon, whose painting is influenced by 20th century British landscape painting, characterised by the work of Paul and John Nash, John Piper and Peter Lanyon.
Susan Wheeler trained at the Central School of Art and Design, London and at Bristol University. A designer and producer of handmade, decorative and functional ceramic tiles for many years, Wheeler has more recently started exploring printmaking – working with linocuts in particular. She is a member of the Oxford Printmakers Cooperative, and the Oxford Arts Society.
Colin Moore was born on the Clyde Coast of Scotland in 1949. He studied architecture in Glasgow, and following an international career in architecture and design, has worked mainly as a painter and printmaker since 2004. He has lived in Spain, Venezuela and London and currently lives in Dorset, England.
Anna Dillon was born in Berkshire in 1972 and grew up in Wiltshire and Oxfordshire near Avebury, The Uffington White Horse Hill and The Ridgeway. The unique and ancient countryside of the British Isles and Ireland continually inspire Dillon to paint vibrant and colourful landscapes. She is a full-time artist and is a member of the Oxford Arts Society.

The weekend starts with great weather, but it won't end that way...
Today: mostly to partly sunny with highs in the mid 80s. Humidity increases late. There's a VERY slim chance of a stray shower, but it's not something to worry about.
Sunday: Showers/T-Storms become increasingly likely throughout our day. Sunday through Monday there's a threat of heavy rainfall.
I'm keeping a close eye on the latest trends in the model data. I'll track the timing and have a look at how this storm system could impact the ending to your weekend coming up on LEX 18 News at 6pm, right after golf. -Melissa

Obama strives for a break with history in battle for Latino votesvice versa VICE VERSA. On the contrary; on opposite sides. ."
This sensitive issue was, unusually, dealt with head-on during this week's Democratic debate in Las Vegas Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. . Do you believe there's a pattern of Latino voters not voting for a black candidate, Obama was asked. "Not in Illinois," he shot back. "They all voted for me."
It was a smart answer. But while his experience in building a coalition in Illinois in 2004 may have won him that Senate race, it is unclear whether Hispanic voters in a national election will suspend disbelief and take the time to get to know Obama.
While polls have shown black voters moving from Hillary Clinton to Obama, no such movement has been detected among Latino voters. On the Democratic side, where most of them reside, they remain committed to the Clinton camp.
"When you're trying to move him up with Latino voters, he's a mystery man," said author and commentator Earl Ofari Hutchinson, "and he's also an African-American."
Obama faces not only the spectre of Bill Clinton in his fight for Latino votes, but also that of influential Hillary supporters such as Antonio Villaraigosa Antonio Ramon Villaraigosa (born Antonio (Tony) Ramon Villar, Jr. on January 23, 1953) is the mayor of Los Angeles, California. He is the first Latino mayor of Los Angeles since Cristobal Aguilar in 1872. , the Latino mayor of Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. , the second largest city in the country. Villaraigosa has been on the campaign trail with Clinton, recently accompanying her to eat tacos for the cameras.
While Clinton has pulled in the support of many of the most important Latino political players in the south-west, one significant endorsement escaped her. The Culinary cu·li·nar·y

Mobile Lighting Solutions
Build the location lighting setup that suits your style
Today's shoe-mount strobes are capable tools and easily can be fashioned into a location-lighting system that's portable enough to go just about anywhere. They're practical for photo shoots of relatively short duration and in fairly close proximity to the subject.
What You'll Need For The Photo Shoot
If the TTL-dedicated shoe-mount flash units that are used off-camera come with a built-in wireless triggering system, then all you need is the transmitter. You may be able to use the commander mode with applicable DSLRs as an expedient means to trigger these remotes. As an alternative, TTL-dedicated radio remote systems are making an entrance slowly but surely and should prove especially useful when shooting outdoors. Or you can take the non-TTL route with other triggering systems at your disposal. Hardwired syncing with today's sophisticated hardware is becoming increasingly rare, but is still an economical work-around to wireless and sometimes a necessity where you experience signal interference.
Now let's turn to practical means for modifying this light. There are a growing number of commercially available light-shaping devices that fit over the shoe-mount flash head. These include grids and snoots for spotlighting, barn doors to confine or spread the light and control spill, softboxes to soften the light—and even beauty dishes for that edgy semi-soft quality. Some of these devices may require optional accessories to secure them to the shoe-mount strobe head.
However, those shoe-mount-compatible devices designed to soften the light are often too small to be effective from any distance and must be positioned very close to the subject. A softbox should be large enough to provide wraparound lighting. Most portable softboxes for shoe-mounts are useful for tabletop sets and headshots or head-and-shoulders portraits. Beyond that might be a stretch, unless used as fill. The nice thing about a softbox is that the light is well contained. Softboxes designed for shoe-mounts are often easier to work with than their large, cumbersome counterparts that we find encasing studio strobe heads.
Personally, I prefer photographic umbrellas when working with shoe-mounts, because they're fast and easy to set up and use. They provide good coverage, although they tend to spill light into surrounding areas. The quality of light will vary with the fabrics employed. White fabric produces a softer light; silver is more efficient, a bit harder and potentially cooler; zebra-pattern (gold/silver zigzags or stripes) adds just the right touch of warmth with the efficacy of silver; and gold-tone usually is too warm. You'll need an um-brella adapter to use the shoe-mount/umbrella combo with a light stand.
|Selected Resources: The Grip Bag
|Light shapers (umbrellas, softboxes, grids, snoots, etc.), collapsible reflectors, portable backdrops, portable light tents and shooting tables, plus grip equipment (stands, clamps, etc.)—you'll find all that here. Lighting manufacturers also may offer comparable products. Some products may specifically target shoe-mount flash.

Kenneth Whalum - Away
Artist: Kenneth Whalum
Featuring: Big K.R.I.T
Producer: Kenneth Whalum III
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 5 votes )
Looks like Robert Glasper isn't the only jazz musician who's been looking to hip-hop for inspiration of late. Kenneth Whalum III, a rising composer, arranger and tenor saxophonist hailing from the Big Apple, links up with Mississippi rhymesayer Big K.R.I.T. on Away, his latest promo single and first DJBooth feature. As you'd expect from the headliner's skillset, the record features a high-caliber live-band backdrop; effervescent keys and sax collide with classic samples (The "Louder!" from Mountain's Long Red makes an appearance) as Whalums showcases his considerable vocal talents. K.R.I.T. matches the beat's pensive tone in his extended middle verse, reflecting on the emptiness of material success and revisiting the grief he experienced upon his grandmother's passing. This self-released jam isn't part of a larger project, but we'll keep you posted on Whalum's 2014 plans as further details emerge.

I am 240lbs, I have no idea how I let this happen. I am so uncomfortable and miserable. Enough is enough I am taking control of my body back, NOW. The plan I've started (as of 2 days ago)
60-80 carbs a day
25-35 grams of fat a day
100 ounces of water a day
I will be doing fitness on a random schedule for the first week, but then will be moving on to a more strict fitness plan.
Things that need to be worked into my plan:
Apple cider vinegar 3 times a day
Brushing teeth when I put my son to bed
Going to bed by 930pm
Im on track, eating and exercising. Not really losing any weight. My inches are fluctuating like crazy though. My energy is really low, I feel like theres something wrong with my metabolism.
I'll keep going though, cause if I stop I will gain insane amounts of weight...
Is gaining 35lbs in like 6 months normal? That was me eating right too. I cant even imagine how much I would have gained if I was eating whatever I wanted! Pretty good motivation though I guess haha.
So last year I looked really good. No tummy bloating, clear skin. And I felt really thin. I was 30lbs less than I am today. I was 200lbs. Today I am 230lbs. This needs to change. Like...yesterday.
So Im starting out april right and Im going to exercise every single day for atleast 20 minutes a day. No matter what. No excuses.
My biggest pet peeve about my current weight is that my stomach is hugely bloated, I dont even want to leave my house I feel so gross and bloated.
Im posting some pictures of me from last year for motivation for me...I looked so good.
Im having some issues with patience...
I really want a baby, like right now. And all we are waiting for is for me to lose weight.
Weight loss is already such a slow process, ugh..
Im exercising 5 days a week, eating really well, staying focused and motivated, I just wish there was some sustainable way I could speed this up.
The original weight I wanted to get down to was 150lbs, Im 227lbs and 150lbs seems sooo far away :/
I think I would be happy getting back to 190 and trying.
Im feeling pretty good right now.
Im back on track and I've eliminated a few foods that I thought were okay but turned out to be not so good, such as the hummus I was eating turned out to have 11 grams of fat per 2 tablespoons!
I dont know how or why I thought this (maybe I was thinking of a different brand?) but I thought it was 3 grams of fat per 2 tablespoons lol So thats gone and so are a few other things like that.
Im trying to remember to think as food as fuel. And if itdoesnt help (fuel) me its hurting my progress.
Ive found a nice schedule,
monday, tuesday, thursday, friday, saturday are exercise days. Sunday and wednesday rest days.
Sundays are going to be my weigh ins.
After TOM I was 231lbs :/ Yesterday I weighed in at 227.4 so thats nice, Im feeling less bloated. I just can not wait to get back down to under 200. ugh.
But Im working hard, and the harder I work the more energy I have and the easier it becomes.

Have you checked the price of almond butter lately? The price is more than some are willing to pay.
Why pay ten to twenty dollars for an eight ounce jar of almond butter, when you can make your own?
You can buy almonds in bulk for a reasonable price and make your own almond butter for much less than it costs to buy in the store.
If you have a food processor, you can make your own almond butter. Making your own nut and seed butters is better, because you know how the butter is processed and you know what is in your butter. Continue reading

Unusual Breed of Mosquitoes Hits Dallas
A new breed of mosquito, a salt water mosquito, is showing up in the traps of the Dallas County Health Department. Although there are several theories, nobody knows why the big, aggressive mosquitoes have begun successfully making a new home in Dallas.
Copyright © 2007 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
JOHN YDSTIE, host:
A new breed of mosquito is showing up in Dallas. It's known as the salt-water mosquito. But Dallas is 250 miles away from the salty Gulf of Mexico.
NPR's Wade Goodwyn explores the mystery.
WADE GOODWYN: After three years of drought, this spring, Texas has gotten a deluge. The lakes have filled back up, the plant life is so green it's dazzling to behold, and neighbors are boasting to each other across the fence how low their water bills are. But there's one other thing neighbors are talking about, too.
Mr. JEREMY BROWN(ph): We've noticed a lot of mosquitoes around - some bigger than normal - but they flock to you within like three or four seconds of you being around. And you're constantly swat them away.
GOODWYN: Jeremy Brown does auto body chip and paint repair at car dealers around Dallas-Forth Worth. He stays outside, and as a result he knows mosquitoes. This year he's noticed that there are some that are bigger and nastier.
Mr. BROWN: Longer than normal. One of the guys that I worked with went through a little jug of mosquito spray. They didn't bother me as much but they tended to flock around him. So I don't know what that means. But they were a lot thicker and you could see them, especially when you got down in the morning, you can see them kind of hovering around.
Mr. ROBERT BERNARD(ph): Last night we were here, my son and I, and they like to have took both of our arms off.
(Soundbite of laughter)
GOODWYN: Robert Bernard is retired and he does car repair work in his driveway. Bernard says he can't tell one mosquito from another. He doesn't give them much thought. Most don't, but there are over 36 different species of mosquitoes in the Dallas-Forth Worth area. But Aedas sollicitans, a big aggressive salt-water mosquito, shouldn't really be one of those species.
Mr. SCOTT SAWLIS (Entomologist, Dallas County): They come out in very large numbers, a quick hatch of large, almost of biblical proportion-type mosquitoes.
GOODWYN: Scott Sawlis is the Dallas County entomologist. He's the one who's been finding Aedas sollicitans in his traps around the Metroplex. It's possible that a powerful southerly wind can blow them to Dallas up from the Gulf of Mexico. But then they shouldn't be able to live and breed here. They should bite you and then die a slow miserable death, or a quicker one if you're good with your hands. That's because salt-water mosquitoes need salt water to reproduce.
Mr. SAWLIS: And it has to be high salty, brackish-type water, as opposed to our other friend, the house mosquito, which likes foul, stagnant water, high-polluted content.
GOODWYN: Solis says one possible source are the 25 acres of open salt-water ponds scattered around the region. That's a result of the explosion of natural gas drilling in the Barnett Shale near Forth Worth. That's a theory; nobody knows if it's a good one though. Salt-water mosquitoes have a range of 100 miles and that's making tracking their breeding site difficult.
Mr. SAWLIS: With them being strong flyers, I've got a huge bullet to try and figure out exactly is it coming from this particular mining area or not or this drilling area or not.
GOODWYN: There's one piece of good news: Adeas sollicitans is not a disease carrier like the southern house mosquito, so all they will do is make you miserable, not sick or dead with West Nile. So we've got that going for us, which is nice.
Pass the spray, would you?

This paper presents an improved genetic algorithm (GA) for optimizing power system reactive power. Based on a basic GA, an integer/float mixed coding GA is proposed in this paper. The objective function of the proposed method is to minimize the system active power loss. The control variables are generator bus voltages, transformer tap positions and switchable shunt capacitor banks. The refined GA overcomes the drawbacks of conventional reactive power optimization methods. The proposed method has been applied to the practical ward-Hale 6 bus system and IEEE 30-bus system. The test results show that this method is a very feasible and practical method
