The importance of résumés has been ingrained in me by my mother for a very long time, and she has worked in human resources longer than I've been alive. A good résumé is vital to securing employment in today's job market. When done correctly, your résumé should show that your education, experience, skills and achievements reflect what is required of the job to which you are applying.
I have not sent out a single résumé in recent years that hasn't been proofread at least five times. And yet every time I do, I feel paranoid that my résumé will be the one that gets tossed aside for not standing above the others. I've even been working on a complete renovation of my résumé recently hoping to show off some of my design skills and making it eye-catching at the same time.
While résumé design does matter, the quality of the content is key. Although this infographic says otherwise, the objective statement isn't really necessary anymore. It has become replaced by the executive summary, which is where you explain who you are and what you're looking for. It seems companies are more interested in personality than immediate goals.
My advice aside, take advantage of these helpful tips to improve your résumé so that you are able to win potential employers over in a matter of seconds.

Two things I'm not crazy about in addition to what Aisling mentioned in the intro above…No one calls the category "School" – it is and should be "Education." But far more important is the way the graphic lists dates. #1 They are far from the most important piece of information and should be listed either to the right side of your entry, or at the very least, after the employer or job title. #2 The example lists no months. Rookie mistake. With the exception of club/organizational involvement list both month and year. Don't make me wonder if you started all your jobs in December
More Than A Resume
There are too many incorrect statements in this infographic to make any of it believable.

Last year, Joanie Faircloth, commenting on an article on the website XOJane, accused Conor Oberst of raping her in 2004, when she was 16. Oberst issued a statement denying the claim, filed a libel lawsuit against her, and, when she didn't show up to a hearing, sought a $1.2 million judgment against her, filing documents that suggested his career had been significantly damaged by the allegations. In fact, Faircloth had never done anything to defend herself against the lawsuit, and she hadn't responded to Oberst's lawyers when they contacted her. Today, though, she released a notarized statement that she made the whole story up. Here's what she wrote:
The statements I made and repeated online and elsewhere over the past six months accusing Conor Oberst of raping me are 100% false. I made up those lies about him to get attention while I was going through a difficult period in my life and trying to cope with my son's illness. I publicly retract my statements about Conor Oberst, and sincerely apologize to him, his family, and his fans for writing such awful things about him. I realize that my actions were wrong and could undermine the claims of actual sexual assault victims and for that I also apologize. I'm truly sorry for all the pain that I caused.
(via Buzzfeed)
Hopefully, we can now put that whole sad, strange story to bed. What a mess.
UPDATE: Oberst has released a statement accepting Faircloth's apology.

Oh, come on, people, have a sense of humor.
This is a tremendously sad story for so many reasons now.
LeMonjello | Posted on Jul 14th +61
Glad the allegations turned out to be false, but incredibly sad and frustrating that the allegations were made at all, what a destructive force for actual victims of rape.
Gelth | Posted on Jul 14th +23
i'm really glad this happened. i honestly hope she's made an example of. just like rape is an awful thing, accusing people of it for your own gain, whatever that gain may be, is awful as well.
Gelth | Posted on Jul 14th +6
falsely accusing, i should clarify.
please remember not to extrapolate too much from the conor oberst thing. 'a woman lied' does not = 'women are liars'
I don't think anyone's saying or thinking that.
Eh, it's more ammo for the MRA brigade to spread their "women lie about rape ALL THE TIME" agenda. I'm glad it turned out that no one was raped, but this is shitty all around.

You plagiarized a blog comment?
dvx_dvx | Posted on Jul 14th +26
It's disgusting how many people are stating (not insinuating, stating, as if they actually knew) that he paid her off. I mean, there's no evidence of the act, there's testimonies of people who know the woman and say she's got a history of lying, and people still won't give up the witch hunt. Some girl in Pitch4k said something along the lines of "I always believe the victim", completely ignoring that, for all the legal system knows, Conor is the victim here. Kinda scary when you think about it, not only do rape accusations hover above men's heads like a menacing cloud all the time, but it also does no good to potential victims.
This is why the whole "I Believe Her" thing pisses me off. You get tried and found guilty in the court of public opinion the instant an accusation is made.
What a relief. If anyone needs me, I'll be in my room looping "Lover I Don't Have to Love," my least favorite Bright Eyes song, because now I can say to myself with confidence that it isn't rapey.
Tom Jones | Posted on Jul 14th +11
this whole story is sad.
Stereogum and P4k jumped on this case and posted the girls comments, based on no evidence, when it first happened.
based off an anonymous poster on a website!
Conor was dropped from his label and has no doubt had some major consequences from this.
Now the girl admits she lied.
Moral of the story: Don't post accusations this serious until there is more evidence than a nameless anon poster!
Conor is innocent. Plain and simple
We only reported on it after Conor Oberst made a statement. Also, she didn't post anonymously — she removed the identifying info from her profile after it started getting attention.

But, it was a baseless rumor. On a website. The charge of rape is serious and had he been guilty, I would have been for him being punished, obviously
But lets not act like this came from a legitimate source. This was obvious bunk from the start. And shame on Stereogum and P4k and anyone else who reported it as "news"
Look on any message board right now. You dont think people say the same thing about every indie star you guys cover?
You all owe, as fans and loyal readers of this site(I've been here since 2007), and especially Conor an apology.
You dont post rumors as fact on a site. period.
You're not making sense.
What a jerk.
she already caused him damaged. he was dropped from his label because of this. She caused MAJOR problems
I would agree with you, but what about the rape victim who makes the accusation, but has no way to prove it? would there be jail time in store for that person?
yeah, I see what you mean
Then there would be no motivation for a false-accuser to ever admit to lying.

Im all for investigating claims. That girl is allowed to say what she wants. And post what she wants. But, if you are Stereogum or a serious news site, you can't then post it as "verified news".
It was a goddamn anon post on a site. Im sorry, Im not gonna go demand Conors head on a spike because some girl posted anonymously on a site.
And I'm certainly not gonna post it as news. It was a rumor. And anyone who posted it as fact shares blame in this.
guiriguiri | Posted on Jul 14th +10
They didn't post it as "verified news."
blochead | Posted on Jul 14th +10
I'm just about the least litigious guy you'd ever want to meet.
That being said….I would sue this woman until I owned her f'ing shoes.
Conor already did sue her, for libel. My guess (and I don't know this for sure, I'm just speculating) is that this notarized statement was released by Fairchild as part of a settlement agreement, and Oberst will now drop the suit.
She should be punished, just like Conor would have been had he been guilty. You can't slander someone or accuse them of something serious like rape and be lying.

how is it a happy ending? He was dropped from his label and will forever carry the scarlet letter of being "an accused rapist". you know damn well people will always look at him different now.
In response to Nathan up thread here, I agree with you as well in terms of most of your post but Mr Lapatine and the rest of the Stereogum editors owe all of us and most importantly Conor an apology.
You can't post baseless rumors on a site. Thats wrong and its against the law.
If you have a website and are a legitimate news source, and Stereogum is, you need to be WAY more scrupulous and actually do due diligence.
Mr Lapatine runs a great site, but he contributed to the spreading of a goddamn lie about someone. And that someone suffered by getting dropped by their label.
The posting of that rumor had huge consequences. And Stereogum needs to own up to their part of it. The girl owned up to hers.
Tom Jones | Posted on Jul 14th -13

next time, I think you and Stereogum as a whole, should wait. Wait until something other than an INTERNET COMMENTATOR on a website accuses someone.
If more evidence had appeared, like photos of conor with the girl and tickets and all that. Then fine. Post it. Post it as a developing story.
But to post it like you did, based on AN INTERNET COMMENT!
Give me a break. There was no basis in fact to her story from the word go.
Don't post gossip or rumor as news. Especially not in this case
Conor was dropped by a label because Stereogum was irresponsible. Thats not ethical or moral and certainly isn't fair.
We posted about this story only after Conor Oberst released a statement, and we were not the first nor the last to run that statement.
Conor Oberst was not dropped from his label, incidentally.
You're being irrational, though, and I think I may be getting trolled.
Also please comment with your regular Stereogum account — I see you created a new fake identity just to comment on this post.
"Conor was dropped by a label because Stereogum was irresponsible."
Oh shit. Really? No way. Oh man. FUCK STEREOGUM.
I apologize — you're absolutely right.
I (mistakenly) remembered reading about it here first.
Love reading all the Internet boldness of people saying "I'd sue them" about a person who very clearly has tremendous problems in their own personal life.
Am I the only one kinda upset about her accusations and then her admittance of lying? As a rape victim myself, I feel that she undermines the whole validity of someone who is actually raped. Rape is not something that should be taken lightly, whether it is in making claims or the physical act itself. Shame on her for lying about something so serious.

To answer your first question: clearly no.
definitely not the only one.
unheard78 | Posted on Jul 15th +10
This is such a terrible mess. I have a friend whose daughter accused a family member of rape. It was scary and everyone felt they were required to draw lines, even though the story was iffy. Without going into full details, her story was full of questionable information, so while we wanted to support her, we couldn't help but wonder. In the end, she revealed the whole thing was a lie and it became apparent thereafter it was a symptom of a much larger problem. She got into even bigger trouble not long after, though she began going to therapy and taking medication and has since gotten her life together. Still, I have to wonder about her, as it is scary to think anyone could be accused by her regardless of their innocence.
Rape isn't something to joke about, and I do believe that if someone accuses another of rape, it should be taken very seriously. A terrible event like this should not change that. But I do think all the facts must be considered before we damn someone for these things, especially when the evidence simply doesn't add up.
I'm glad she came out and admitted it was a lie, though this is the kind of thing that will probably continue to destroy her life along with Oberst's. As everyone has noted, many will never believe Oberst's innocence, though just as many will never believe anything Faircloth ever says again. The problem with this is Faircloth wasn't her real name and her true identity and appearance aren't widely known, whereas Oberst is a walking target.
Whether you're a woman or a man, rape is a terrible thing and must be taken seriously. Damn Faircloth for ruining someone else's life and potentially damaging the credibility of those actually abused, regardless of her circumstances, but don't take her misdoings as a justification to negate claims of rape or other abuses. We must take them just as seriously as ever, though we also have to be ready to ask the tough questions when issues arise. It's a slippery slope, but the only way to deal with it is to do it right. That's vague as hell, but saying we have to consider all the facts sounds terrible to others regardless if it's true. Events like this make it clear how difficult these things get and why there has to be a better way to handle terrible acts and accusations like this, as well as why we need to find a way to break the stigma and shame that rape and abuse victims feel that keeps them from letting people know when they do need support.
I love it when a post comes along (like the one from unheard78 above) that absolutely caps off a thread.
Cuz this one is done. Well said
I'm gonna sit this one out. All the important points surrounding this story have been made already, anyway.

The Department of Homeland Security is expanding its role in helping the private sector protect networks and infrastructure from cyber attack. Under the program, DHS will provide assistance in implementing the Cybersecurity Framework, released on Feb. 12 by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The program, called the Critical Infrastructure Cyber Community or C3 (pronounced C-cubed), launched alongside the NIST framework. It's designed to connect critical infrastructure operators around the goals of readiness, risk management and response to cyber attack. The program is also open to state and local governments, which have networks with potentially vulnerable information and may operate infrastructure such as water supplies. Jenny Menna, the director of DHS' Stakeholder Engagement and Cyber Infrastructure Resilience Division, said the department was offering assistance to entities that are seeking help on a voluntary basis.
As a participant in the process leading up to the release of the NIST framework, DHS "recognized that critical infrastructure is not a homogonous mass," and that different kinds of providers might have different needs Menna said at a Feb. 20 panel held by law firm Crowell and Moring. Some companies, like small- and medium-sized businesses with important roles in the industrial and technological supply chain, might not even recognize themselves as part of the nation's critical infrastructure.
The C3 program is initially designed to engage stakeholders across 12 sectors, but it will expand to include private businesses of all kinds. Menna said that DHS would roll out new aspects of the plan in the coming weeks. These could include incentives for private business that adopt the framework, although there are some hurdles here including how use of the NIST guidelines would be certified and monitored.
DHS is also continuing a program it took over from the Defense Department, in which companies can receive classified threat information from the government. The voluntary program was slow to get traction, because of the delays of getting the appropriate security clearances for participants, but Menna said they had reduced the wait time in a recent exercise involving U.S and Canadian railroads.
Private companies may be averse to participating in voluntary DHS programs for reasons other than bureaucratic lag, said Mark Weatherford, a principal at the Chertoff Group and a participant in the panel. The "Snowden effect" is making companies a "little more standoffish today than they were nine months ago," he said.
As a result, Weatherford is seeing a growing trend in cybersecurity intelligence startups, that rivals what government develops. The private intell may have more value, because it's customized around the demands of particular industry sectors, he said.

DHS should frame C3 as best practices for the civilian sector; NIST 800, if implemented properly is absolutely the best.Best practices are voluntary but sets a standard that can be measured across industries and platforms. I believe this would be politically more, palatable to this sector of our society.I also think metrics for the civilian sector should reflect the areas where the most vulnerabilities, and risks occur consequently they can use this as selling points if they do a good job.I think this is the the only way to sell it as a gov/civilian partnership and make it work.I think a lot can be done with the proper selling, telling and implementation.

Often, despite one's best intentions, Life has a habit of taking control — best laid plans, an' all that. And while I was planning on getting lots of knitting done in recent months, and finishing a whole slew of languishing WIPs (as well as starting — and maybe even finishing — some new projects), that just didn't happen.
What did happen was I broke my foot — so ended up in plaster, and on crutches, with strict instructions to rest up for a while. "Great!" I thought, "I have an excuse to do nothing but sit and knit!" :)
The downside was that the amount and strength of painkillers meant that I couldn't even concentrate on staying awake, let alone finishing Winterburn's sleeves or anything else for that matter. Oh, I started out by devising a list of projects to work on whilst my foot was healing up, and got everything packed into an easy-to-carry, kitty-proof crate so I could just perch wherever I wanted for the day — and then promptly conked out on the pain meds.
And then let's not dwell on the allergic reaction I had to some of the meds, which wound me up in hospital with chest problems, shall we? *sighs*
Hence, I've not been knitting.
However, I'm back mobile now (there is a slight issue — my foot doesn't seem to have healed as well as it should, so I'm now waiting on the results of a bone scan) and so I'm hoping to get back into the saddle with the needles, so to speak. The only problem now is that many of my WIPs are autumn/winter wear, and it's glorious sunshine and high temperatures here now — at least for the past few days or so — which makes me disinclined to work on anything really heavy. And so, I have a new lace shawl on the needles, as well as a new pattern (again, a lace shawl) that my darling heart-sister gifted me recently. And then I hear that Wendy Knits is hosting another summer knitalong — and given the last one reaped the delight that is Coppertone, who am I to resist? LOL!
So, with needles and yarn in hand I gamely knit on — more to come soon! :)

We made the best dessert *EVER* at my Pampered Chef party on Tuesday night! Chocolate-Peanut Butter Crunch Bars - sweet, salty, crunchy, gooey goodness! It was like having a Reese's peanut butter cup on top of a Rice Krispie treat. - seriously good! This was so easy to make and everyone found room to eat it (even after all those sausage balls!). I had to give the leftovers away because I knew I couldn't be trusted with these things in the house. This is the kind of dessert that calls to you - "Come eat me!". I didn't have to twist anyone's arm to take it home with them! I can't wait to make these again. I think they would be great at a picinc, tailgate or church/school/work gatering. Make them - everyone will ask for the recipe and you will be a superstar!
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Crunch Bars
Pampered Chef
(Printable Recipe)
¼ cup dry-roasted peanuts
3 cups mini pretzel twists (about 1 2∕3 cups coarsely crushed), divided
3 cups crisp rice cereal
¾ cup butter (1½ sticks), divided
1 bag (10.5 oz) miniature marshmallows
½ cup light corn syrup, divided
1 bag (10 oz) peanut butter morsels
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
Coarsely chop peanuts using Food Chopper; set aside. Place pretzels into large resealable plastic bag; coarsely crush using flat side of Meat Tenderizer. Set aside ¹∕3 cup of the pretzels. Place remaining pretzels and cereal in Stainless Mixing Bowl.
Place 6 tbsp of the butter in Classic Batter Bowl. Microwave on HIGH 30–45 seconds or until melted. Add marshmallows; microwave on HIGH 45–60 seconds. Stir until marshmallows are completely melted using Mix 'N Scraper®. Immediately add marshmallow mixture to mixing bowl; mix thoroughly. Spread crust evenly over 9x13 pan; firmly press into pan using waxed paper.
Combine 2 tbsp of the butter and half of the corn syrup in Small Micro-Cooker®. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 30–45 seconds or until melted. Stir in peanut butter morsels; mix until melted (mixture will be stiff). Spread peanut butter mixture over crust using Small Spreader.
For ganache, place remaining butter and corn syrup in Small Batter Bowl. Microwave on HIGH 30–45 seconds or until melted. Stir in chocolate morsels; mix until smooth. Spread ganache evenly over peanut butter mixture. Sprinkle with peanuts and reserved pretzels. Place in freezer 5–10 minutes or until ganache is set. Cut into 24 squares; cut squares in half.

My Young Kitten's Eye Won't Open
View Biography
My kitten is 2 weeks old and only 1 eye is open. Should I help by rubbing the eye with warm water or should I wait to see if it opens? (Ewanna Lawrence - Massachusetts)
As I'm sure you know kittens normally open their eyes between 7 and 14 days. They don't always open on the same day but normally will open within 48 hours of each other. On occasion kittens get an infection which reseals an open eye or stop ones from opening at all. If you carefully wipe around the eye and across the lid with a warm moist cloth or cotton ball, then if there is an infection then you should be able to see some puss. If this is the case then you need to take your kitten to the vet to ensure no long term eye damage is sustained. If the kittens eyes are not both open by 18 days I would advise a trip to the vet anyway as damage can be done to the long term vision of the cat if an eye does not receive any stimulus by 3-4 weeks.

This bilingual blog - 'आन्याची फाटकी पासोडी' in Marathi- is largely a celebration of visual and/or comic ...तुकाराम: "ढेकणासी बाज गड,उतरचढ केवढी" (Tukaram: For a bedbug a bed is like a castle. so much climbing up and down!)... George Santayana: " Everything in nature is lyrical in its ideal essence, tragic in its fate, and comic in its existence"...William Hazlitt: "Pictures are scattered like stray gifts through the world; and while they remain, earth has yet a little gilding."
G C Lichtenberg: "It is as if our languages were confounded: when we want a thought, they bring us a word; when we ask for a word, they give us a dash; and when we expect a dash, there comes a piece of bawdy."
W H Auden: "But in my arms till break of day / Let the living creature lie. / Mortal, guilty, but to me/ The entirely beautiful."
Will Self: "To attempt to write seriously is always, I feel, to fail – the disjunction between my beautifully sonorous, accurate and painfully affecting mental content, and the leaden, halting sentences on the page always seems a dreadful falling short. It is this failure – a ceaseless threnody keening through the writing mind – that dominates my working life, just as an overweening sense of not having loved with enough depth or recklessness or tenderness dominates my personal one."
John Gray: "Unlike Schopenhauer, who lamented the human lot, Leopardi believed that the best response to life is laughter. What fascinated Schopenhauer, along with many later writers, was Leopardi's insistence that illusion is necessary to human happiness."
Art Spiegelman: "You know words in a way are hitting you on the left side of your brain, music and visual arts hit on the right side of the brain, so the idea is to pummel you, to send you from left brain to right brain and back until you're as unbalanced as I am."

Shravan! Three Swings
"Suno Sajana Papihe Ne" from director Raghunath Jalani's "Aaye Din Bahaar Ke" (1966), composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal and sung by Lata Mangeshkar, is one of the best songs I have heard.
I never tire of listening to it. Although I am already fifty Shravans old, it creates excitement for the fifty-first!
Towards the end of the song there is a sequence on a swing.
"baaghon men pad gaye hain, saawan ke mast jhule"
Now watch another sequence on a swing from Satyajit Ray's "Charulata", 1964
Notice how, towards the end, camera rides with Madhabi Mukherjee (Charulata) looking at Soumitra Chatterjee (Amal).
I was stunned when I first noticed it.
Normally, for me, a good cinema almost always loses to a good book except The Godfather. But this sequence brings out the power of the cinema.
If a writer were to describe Charulata's confusion, her dilemma about her feelings towards cousin-in-law Amal, it would take more effort and time- even for Tagore or Tolstoy- than what Mr. Ray accomlishes so elegantly by that rocking camera.
And don't we all know how different the world looks from a swing?
Once I saw 'Charulata', I always thought what a disappointment 'Aaye Din Bahaar Ke' scene was. The song is divine but the director's treatment is so pedestrian.
Mr. Jalani could have learnt a lot just watching 'Charulata' which was released almost 2 years earlier than his own film.
And finally a swing on which I wish I sat one day...
"The Swing" Artist: Francisco Goya, Completion year: 1779

Maybe, just maybe, Spring is going to show it's face. That is all I thought on the way to work—as people seemed optimistic behind navy blue spring trenches and patches of skin showing beneath long dresses–I felt spring in the air. Maybe it is here. As I got to my office—something else had arrived—a second mystery email from the team at Jeffrey Campbell. The subject bar read…."Don't make me tell you twice," and I'll be the first to admit it—I kind of like being bossed. So with that said, I clicked the link to find the second in this series of clandestine LITA focused videos. This growing crop of girls, all dressed like the Olsen twins, are all fighting for a suspended LITA. I think the real video is going to be the major cat-fight that ensues once of these Brooklyn Ladies get that shoe down! Here is clip two—stay tuned and we will keep you updated when we find out more. Kind of loving this suspense thriller! Maybe the shoe is filled with gold coins!

For as long as I can remember I have had an interest in gemstones. This fascinating course takes you through the geological formation of gemstones, identifying gemstone properties and most of all, hands on practical experience with gemmological equipment and specimens. This course helped me get back to learning something exciting and new and made learning fun again. It impressed me so much that I am currently pursuing a career in gemmology. Most of all, what made the course experience all the more worthwhile was the care and dedication shown by the course lecturers ensuring that everyone was learning together and that the course was enjoyable for all.

I took this picture Sunday night before going to sleep, all of our bags packed and ready for the first day of school!
backpack from last year (errr, two years ago!) is still holding up, so I didn't have any monogramming to do for her.
Dashiell picked out this Spider-man backpack and lunchbox set. I knew I'd make a keychain type tag for his lunchbox.
I was going to use ribbon for the tag on his lunchbox but realized the vinyl would be super cool. I just monogrammed a strip, folded it in half around a D-ring, and stitched it up on my sewing machine! We used 8CP Spidey font for his monogram
I2S Box Font Applique for the big monograms which made it easy to cover the printed logo. To make things simpler, I skipped the satin stitches and just made the applique raggy (yes, I admit I was doing this at 9pm on Sunday night). I love this print with the tiny owls!
Cinnamon Cake to add Mrs. Harvey's name:
Jelly Bean to add Ms. Sperling's name:
If you don't own the Box Font alphabet set or number set, they are on sale until Friday morning! You can read all the details on the I2S Facebook page, but in short -- it's because they are my favorite and we are celebrating my 1 year anniversary with I2S :) ENJOY!

Welcome, guest
James Holloway and Iain Buchanan's Piquant Technologies systematic trading fund is up 13.5% this year – deploying a diversified approach to investing in global futures that does not rely primarily on trend-following strategies as many CTAs and quant funds do, but also draws on artificial intelligence and a variety of other quantifiable, mathematically modelled prediction signals

Andrew McGrath of Burren Capital Advisors looks at the factors driving the recent boom in corporate activity
As investors seek new ways to diversify equity and fixed-income portfolios and boost returns amid a complex market backdrop of volatility spikes, low interest rates and a sustained hunt for yield, Paris-based Candriam Investors Group sees absolute performance and liquid alternative strategies playing an increasingly vital role in investors' portfolio diversification heading into 2015
Nicolas Walewski's high-performing European equity shop has just reopened its largest hedge fund and long-only vehicles, after a period of rapid growth in which it has expanded its investment team and doubled its overall assets under management, as a result of a spectacular uptick in investor demand for exposure to Europe since the middle of last year
José Luis Pérez Esteve's diversified approach to investing in the European corporate actions space – and his avoidance of announced M&A deals – have helped his fund to remain well on track for a healthy double-digit gain this year, when many of its peers are now flat or worse
Growth of liquid alternatives is a very real opportunity for investors who have previously been unable to access hedge fund strategies to do so in a liquid and regulated structure
Regulation and changing investor dynamics are transforming the nature of Europe's hedge fund industry, with the bulk of growth now being seen in the regulated onshore alternative UCITS arena
Brand-new hedge fund launches – in offshore or onshore format – are still at record lows in Europe, due to a combination of regulatory uncertainty and the changes in the investor base. But the industry's evolution is driving rapid growth in customised products linking specific investors with established managers through managed accounts, 'funds of one' and the like
Event-driven and long/short equity are the most in-demand strategies globally, followed by macro and equity market-neutral. Despite their recent performance pick-up, CTAs are most out of favour
Many key aspects of fund managers' compliance with the EU's new regulatory requirements for alternative investment firms remain unclear – and unresolved – as the AIFMD comes into force. But the cost of compliance is still rising and the impact on the industry could be hard to predict

Sep 2014
Like all areas of the financial services world, the asset management industry is changing and hedge funds are driving many of the most significant changes. Convergence between the alternative and mainstream investment management markets is accelerating.
As money has started to flow back strongly into the hedge fund industry – particularly from the institutional investment community – investors are rightly demanding far more say over how they invest with hedge fund managers, how their assets are managed and how much visibility they have into what their managers are doing.
Fuelled by a powerful mix of supply and demand factors, the alternative UCITS fund industry has developed into one of the fastest-growing sectors of Europe's investment management universe.

Comments, questions and tips
This curry was amazing and my husband agreed, it really did taste like something you would get at a good curry restaurant! It was so quick and easy as well. I used Balti curry paste as I couldn't get a Rogan Josh one (used 3 tablespoons) and I used a tin of chopped tomatoes, other than that everything else was as per the recipe. I will make this over and over again.
Just be aware of the added calories when serving this with rice. We used basmati rice and allow 75g per person as per the instructions on the packet. The results were lovely but I was startled to read later that the 75g of dry rice = 195g of cooked rice = 692kcal. That's per person. So the total calorie count for this meal is 281kcal (shown in the recipe) for the sauce and 692kcal for the rice. Total = 973kcal. And that's before you reach for the Naan bread!
Just made this curry tonight, it's very tasty my 5 year old asked me if I can make this again. I decided to use a can of chopped tomatoes instead of 2 large tomatoes as mentioned by previous comments. The sauce was just right, I also used tikka paste instead of rogan josh. It's quick to make and ideal weekday meal to make when you've been at work.

3 adults, 3 kids displaced by fire in Chula Vista: Firefighters say blaze originated in bedroom
CHULA VISTA, Calif. - A Chula Vista fire that started in a bedroom displaced six people Wednesday.
The fire was reported after 2 a.m. in the 400 block of Rivera Court.
Firefighters were able to knock down the blaze in about seven minutes.
Investigators believed that the fire originated in the mattress, which then caused the bedroom to catch fire.
The Red Cross is assisting the three adults and three children who lived in the home.
The exact cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Cool Down at Nassif Aquatic Center [REVIEW]
With the temperatures close to 100 degrees, I took the opportunity to take my family out to Nassif Aquatic Center in Warrensburg. From years of being a student in Knob Noster and the University of Central Missouri, I can remember only a handful of times going to that pool. However, now that the park has greatly expanded their services, it truly is worth the family outing.

Heath: "Grand Bargain" K-12 Tax Hike "Beginning to Take a Bite" from Elephant
Imagine sitting down to write a term paper or thesis, then releasing the first draft of the paper not only to your professor but to a worldwide audience.

You can start to understand what Colorado state senator Michael Johnston (D-Denver) feels like after releasing a draft of legislation to rewrite the state's 19-year-old School Finance Act. In the funny game of democratic politics, is it better to make a bold push in one direction, or to try to bring diverse interests together around a "Grand Bargain"?

How Bad Was the Fiscal Cliff Deal? Michael Bennet May Have Teed One Up for the Teetering GOP
Conservatives have plenty of reason to mope in the fiscal gloom these days, maybe even enough to indulge in a bit of dark humor. That brings us to the Colorado political junkie joke of the week, the first of 2013: "How bad was the fiscal cliff deal Congress approved?" "I don't know. How bad was it?" "The fiscal cliff deal was so bad that Michael Bennet couldn't even vote for it." The serious question, though, that follows Congress' pathetic kicking-the-can-down-the-road exercise -- which strangely divided Colorado's Democratic tag-team duo in the U.S. Senate -- is whether Colorado Senator Michael Bennet's dissent may have set the stage for Republicans to start taking a necessary hard line on the next tough issue around the bend. … [Read more...]

The new and spacious Lakewood church venue was needed, with more than 1,200 certified delegates in attendance. The strong turnout was most impressive in terms of first-time delegates, which an impromptu show of hands revealed made up somewhere around two-thirds of those attending north Jeffco's Senate District 19 assembly.

Colorado Prop 103: Weak Case for Tax Hike's Job-Killing "Domino" Effect
Update, 11/2: Welcome, Michelle Malkin readers... Thanks for the link! Colorado has one issue on the statewide ballot this year: Proposition 103, a large tax hike sold as a way to increase revenues for K-12 and higher education. Unfortunately, there are two major problems with this proposal that render it unworthy of support. First, it's a job-killer that very well could prolong and deepen our state's current recession. An Independence Institute issue paper by Dr. Barry Poulson finds that more than 11,000 jobs will be killed, a devastating analysis of the Prop 103 "domino" effect most creatively expressed in this amazing 3-minute video: Second, the case for more K-12 education funding rests on a very weak foundation that lacks … [Read more...]

Here x and y range over the nonnegative integers. I was wondering how to show that if n is a odd integer which has a unique representation in that form, then n is prime.
Prove that a positive odd integer $N>1$ has a unique representation in the form $N=x^2-y^2$ iff N is prime
HINT $\ $ Nonuniquness is an immediate consequence of the following composition law
$\rm\qquad\qquad\ (a^2-b^2)\ (A^2-B^2)\ =\ (a\:A+b\:B)^2-(a\:B+A\:b)^2$
$\rm\qquad\qquad\ \phantom{(a^2-b^2)\ (A^2-B^2)}\ =\ (a\:A-b\:B)^2-(a\:B-A\:b)^2$
E.g. composing $\rm\ 7 = 4^2 - 3^2\ $ with $\ 11 = 6^2 - 5^2\ $ yields for $\rm\: 7\cdot 11\:$ the following $2$ rep's
$\rm\qquad\qquad\ (4^2-3^2)\ (6^2-5^2)\ =\ (4\cdot 6+3\cdot 5)^2-(4\cdot 5+6\cdot 3)^2\ =\ 39^2 - 38^2$
$\rm\qquad\qquad\ \phantom{(4^2-3^2)\ (6^2-5^2)}\ =\ (4\cdot 6-3\cdot 5)^2-(4\cdot 5-6\cdot 3)^2\ =\ 9^2 - 2^2$
Hint: Factor $x^2-y^2$ as the product of two polynomials.
Hint: Let $n$ be an odd composite (positive) integer. Then there exist (odd) integers $a \gt 1$, $b \gt 1$ such that $n=ab$. Use this factorization to produce a solution of the equation $x^2-y^2=n$ in non-negative integers other than $x=\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)^2$, $\:\;y=\left(\frac{n-1}{2}\right)^2$.
Added: Without loss of generality we may assume that $a \ge b$. Then we can take $$x=\left(\frac{a+b}{2}\right)^2, \qquad y=\left(\frac{a-b}{2}\right)^2.$$

OpenRC/Baselayout 1 to 2 migration
This guide shows you how to migrate from baselayout-1 to baselayout-2 and OpenRC.
- 1 Background
- 2 Migration to OpenRC
- 3 Changed functionality
- 4 Acknowledgements
What's baselayout?
Baselayout provides a basic set of files that are necessary for all systems to function properly, such as /etc/hosts . It also provides the basic filesystem layout used by Gentoo (i.e. /etc , /var , /usr , /home directories).
What's OpenRC?
OpenRC is a dependency-based rc system that works with whatever init is provided by the system, normally /sbin/init . However, it is not a replacement for /sbin/init . The default init used by Gentoo Linux is
sys-apps/sysvinit , while Gentoo/FreeBSD uses the FreeBSD init provided by
sys-freebsd/freebsd-sbin .
So why migrate?
Originally Gentoo's rc system was built into baselayout 1 and written entirely in bash. This led to several limitations. For example, certain system calls need to be accessed during boot and this required C-based callouts to be added. These callouts were each statically linked, causing the rc system to bloat over time.
Additionally, as Gentoo expanded to other platforms like Gentoo/FreeBSD and Gentoo Embedded, it became impossible to require a bash-based rc system. This led to a development of baselayout 2, which is written in C and only requires a POSIX-compliant shell. During the development of baselayout 2, it was determined that it was a better fit if baselayout merely provided the base files and filesystem layout for Gentoo and the rc system was broken off into its own package. Thus we have OpenRC.
OpenRC was initially developed by Roy Marples until 2010, and is now maintained by the Gentoo OpenRC Project . OpenRC supports all current Gentoo variations (i.e. Gentoo Linux, Gentoo/FreeBSD, Gentoo Embedded, and Gentoo Vserver) and other platforms such as FreeBSD and NetBSD.
Migration to OpenRC
Migration to OpenRC is fairly straightforward; it will be pulled in as part of your regular upgrade process by your package manager. The most important step actually comes after you install the new
>=sys-apps/baselayout-2 and
sys-apps/openrc packages. It is critical that you run
dispatch-conf and ensure your /etc is up to date before rebooting.Failure to do so will result in an unbootable systemand will require the use of the Gentoo LiveCD to perform the steps below to repair your system.
Once you've finished updating your config files, there are a few things to verify prior to rebooting.
/etc/conf.d/rc has been deprecated and any settings you have in there will need to be migrated to the appropriate settings in /etc/rc.conf . Please read through /etc/rc.conf and /etc/conf.d/rc and migrate the settings. Once you are complete, delete /etc/conf.d/rc .
Kernel modules
Normally, when you want certain kernel modules automatically loaded at boot, you place them into /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 along with any parameters you wanted to pass to them. In baselayout-2, this file is not used anymore. Instead, autoloaded modules and module parameters are placed in one file, /etc/conf.d/modules , no matter the kernel version.
An example old style configuration would be:
ivtv cx88_dvb video_br=2
Converting the above example would result in the following:
# Modules autoloaded at boot modules_2_6="ivtv cx88_dvb" # Module parameters module_cx88_dvb_args_2_6="video_br=2"
In the above examples, the modules and their parameters would only be passed to 2.6.x series kernels. The new configuration allows for fine grained control over the modules and parameters based on kernel version.
An in-depth example would be:
# Only load ivtv for 2.6.23-gentoo-r5 modules_2_6_23_gentoo_r5="ivtv" # Only load cx88_dvb for 2.6.23 kernels (other than -gentoo-r5) modules_2_6_23="cx88_dvb" # Only load tun and usbserial for 2.6.x series kernels where x != 23 modules_2_6="tun usbserial" # Otherwise load ochi1394 and ieee1394 modules="ohci1394 ieee1394" # For 2.6.23-gentoo-r5, pass video_br=2 to cx88_dvb module_cx88_dvb_args_2_6_23_gentoo_r5="video_br=2" # For 2.6.x series kernels, always pass vendor and product module_usbserial_args_2_6="vendor=0x1410 product=0x2110" # Always pass debug to ieee1394 module_ieee1394_args="debug"
Boot runlevel
boot runlevel performs several important steps for every machine. For example, making sure your root filesystem is mounted read/write, that your filesystems are checked for errors, that your mountpoints are available, and that the /proc pseudo-filesystem is started at boot.
With OpenRC, volume management services for your block storage devices are no longer run automatically at boot. This includes lvm, raid, swap, device-mapper (dm), dm-crypt, and the like. You must ensure the appropriate initscript for these services is in the
boot runlevel, otherwise it's possible that your system will not boot!
While the OpenRC ebuild will attempt to do this migration for you, you should verify that it migrated all the volume management services properly:
If you don't see root, procfs, mtab, swap, and fsck in the above listing, perform the following to add them to the
boot runlevel:
If you know you use mdraid and lvm but do not see them above, you would run the following to add initscripts to the
boot runlevel:
OpenRC no longer starts
udev by default, but it does need to be present in the
sysinit runlevel to be started. The OpenRC ebuild should detect if
udev was previously enabled and add it to the
sysinit runlevel. However, to be safe, check if
udev is present:
udev is not listed, add it to the correct runlevel:
Due to baselayout and OpenRC being broken into two different packages, your net.eth0 initscript may disappear during the upgrade process. To replace this initscript and re-add it to the default runlevel, please perform the following:
If you are missing any other network initscripts, follow the instructions above to re-add them. Simply replace
eth0 with the name of your network device.
Also, /etc/conf.d/net (oldnet) no longer uses bash-style arrays for configuration. Please review /usr/share/doc/openrc-<version>/net.example for configuration instructions. Conversion should be relatively straight-forward, converting to newlines for seperate entries, for example a static IP assignment would change as follows:
config_eth0=( "192.168.1.37 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255" ) routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.1.100" "10.0.0.0/8 via 192.168.1.2" )
config_eth0="192.168.1.37 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255" routes_eth0="default via 192.168.1.100 10.0.0.0/8 via 192.168.1.2"
Clock settings have been renamed from /etc/conf.d/clock to your system's native tool for adjusting the clock. This means on Linux it will be /etc/conf.d/hwclock and on FreeBSD it will be /etc/conf.d/adjkerntz . Systems without a working real time clock (RTC) chip should use /etc/init.d/swclock , which sets the system time based on the mtime of a file which is created at system shutdown. The initscripts in /etc/init.d/ have also been renamed accordingly, so make sure the appropriate script for your system has been added to the boot runlevel.
Additionally, the
TIMEZONE variable is no longer in this file. Its contents are instead found in the /etc/timezone file. If it doesn't exist, you will of course have to create it with your timezone. Please review both of these files to ensure their correctness.
The proper value for this file is the path relative to your timezone from /usr/share/zoneinfo . For example, for someone living on the east coast of the United States, the following would be a correct setting:
The XSESSION variable is no longer found in /etc/rc.conf . Instead, you can set the XSESSION variable per-user in ~/.bashrc (or equivalent), or system-wide in /etc/env.d/ .
Here's an example of setting XSESSION for the whole system:
env-update after creating a file in /etc/env.d , and then logout and login for it to take effect. If you set the variable in ~/.bashrc , you can re-source the file with
source ~/.bashrc .
EDITOR and PAGER
The EDITOR variable is no longer found in /etc/rc.conf . Both EDITOR and PAGER are set by default in /etc/profile . You should change this as needed in your ~/.bashrc (or equivalent) file or create /etc/env.d/99editor and set the system default there.
env-update after creating a file in /etc/env.d , and then logout and login for it to take effect. If you set the variable in ~/.bashrc , you can re-source the file with
source ~/.bashrc .
Boot log
Previously, you could log the boot process by using
app-admin/showconsole . However, OpenRC now handles all logging internally, so there's no need for the hacks that
showconsole employed. You can safely unmerge
showconsole . To continue logging boot messages, just set the appropriate variable in /etc/rc.conf . Logs will appear in /var/log/rc.log .
local.start and local.stop
With OpenRC, /etc/conf.d/local.start and local.stop are deprecated. During the migration to OpenRC, the files are moved to /etc/local.d and gain the suffix .start or .stop . OpenRC then executes those in alphabetic order.
System sub-types: Virtualization special cases
In the early versions of OpenRC, we explictly detected multiple types of virtualization, and used that detection to note when certain init scripts should be skipped, using the keyword call in the depend functions.
However, as of the 0.7.0 release, you are required to explicitly configure the sub-type using the rc_sys variable in /etc/rc.conf . The sub-type should be set to match the virtualization environment that the given root is in. In general, the non-empty rc_sys value should be within the virtual containers; The host node will have rc_sys="" .
rc -S .
The detection algorithm had to be replaced with manual configuration due to the introduction of new sub-types and changes to the kernel that made prior detection unreliable.
|Default, no sub-type
|Not the same as unset; FreeBSD, Linux & NetBSD
|FreeBSD jails
|Linux Containers
|Not auto-detected
|Linux OpenVZ
|Not auto-detected; FreeBSD, Linux & NetBSD
|Linux vserver
|Xen0 Domain
|Linux & NetBSD
|XenU Domain
|Linux & NetBSD
Cleaning up stale configuration files
After migration, there will be files left on your file system that are not cleaned up by Portage. Those are configuration files which are protected by Portage' configuration file protection feature.
The most notable example would be /etc/conf.d/net.example which is superseded by /usr/share/doc/openrc-*/net.example.bz2 .
Finishing up
Once you've finished updating your config files and initscripts, the last thing to do is reboot . This is necessary because system state information is not preserved during the upgrade, so you'll need to provide it with a fresh boot.
Changed functionality
The pause action
Previously it was possible to temporarily stop a service without taking down all the depending services by using
/etc/init.d/service pause . In OpenRC, the
pause action was removed; this functionality is supported by the
/etc/init.d/service --nodeps stop , which also works in the old baselayout.
rootfs entry in /etc/mtab
Previously, the initial rootfs entry was removed from /etc/mtab , and only the real root / entry was present. The duplicate rootfs item was actually added back during shutdown. In OpenRC, both entries must be present for full support of initramfs and tmpfs-on-root. This also means that less writing is required during shutdown.

There are many ways to get rid of debt.
Whether you are hundreds or thousands of dollars in debt, you can become debt free. There are many ways to get rid of debt no matter how much you have, and no matter what your credit score.
If you have good credit, and you own your home, you can get a home equity loan, or you can refinance your home to get rid of debt. With the proceeds from the loan, you can pay off all of your other debts, such as credit cards, personal loans, or even auto loans, if you have enough equity in your home. If you opt for a home equity loan, you will then have two mortgage payments to make each month. However, if you refinance your home, you will have only one convenient monthly payment to make each month. If your credit isnt perfect, you could still qualify for these types of loans, but what if you have bad credit and do not own your own home? Bad credit will not necessarily stop you from becoming debt free. If you have bad credit, and you do not own your own home, there are a number of credit counseling agencies that will be willing to help you pay off your outstanding debts. They negotiate with your creditors to devise a repayment plan. They can also reduce or eliminate interest, which will save you a lot of money and aid you in becoming debt free much sooner. You will make one monthly payment to the agency of your choice, and the agency will distribute the payments to your creditors.
Regardless of your credit score, and despite the fact that you may or may not own a home, there are ways for everyone to get rid of debt. If you have good credit, but do not own your own home, you may qualify for a debt consolidation loan, which is a personal loan that you obtain to pay off all of your outstanding debts. If you cannot get any help in paying off your debts immediately, there are still things that can be done to become debt free as soon as possible. Rather than paying the minimum monthly payment on your credit cards, you should pay a bit extra. You should also cut up your card or put it away and use it only in emergencies. This will ensure that you do not continue to use the card for unnecessary purchases. When it comes to personal, auto, and home loans, you should try to pay more than the monthly payment and specify that the additional funds be applied to the principal. This will pay down the balance much sooner that expected, and you will save a lot of interest over the life of the loan.

The M-W app should be part of the chromebooks we have at mps. I wonder if it can't be installed because it's Android not chrome... Some chromebooks take android apps, but would this one? If you read this and know the answer please drop me a line. I would like to make a suggestion to have the MW app added if it's compatible.

Elaine Roberts, Ph.D's curator insight, July 8, 12:18 PM
"In the conversation about ideas — the clarification of an argument, the identification of a larger point to be made, the firmer realization of what I want to say before I start crafting the prose — the writing that results is inevitably clearer and smarter. Because I have opened my mouth and practiced using the words, I now set them down with more care, precision and patience (one writer friend has said there's nothing like telling a lot of people a story, over drinks, for years, to refine its structure)."
And she's been able to gauge the response of an audience so the words and ideas make more sense to the listener, which means she can weigh the words and their cadence for the reader.
