This is my entry for the alabama style contest! Natalie Chanin's book's preview inspired me to incorporate delicate hand-stitched applique into a dress.
i picked the ivory natural cotton fabric on purpose to incorporate some "nature" feel to it. then I appliqued some flowers by hand. It took a while to complete this!
I picked the dress design that's rather modern and edgy so it balances out with natural feel of the fabric and applique.
the pattern is a modification of danielle dress on burdastyle.

The essay is a study of role of youth to make country a corruption free nation. It is an effort to give concrete view point on the power of the integrated youth of nation who are future of the country and whose efforts are decisive for country's progress.
It is a no brainer that Corruption in India is at its rampant best. There is not one section of the society that is spared from it. Recent examples like CWG, 2G and Adarsh Society Scams are glaring examples of expanded corruption in all levels of Indian Society. Corruption hinders its dream to become a developed nation and in today's scenario 'Corruption Free State' is India's need to achieve Vision-2020.
In fulfilling this need, youth power of the country can play an important role.
Youth is a dynamite of any country that can do great good when used in a right way. They are the powerhouse and storehouse of infinite energy which brings laurels to the Country.
Leadership of Adolf Hitler proved the importance of youth in any nation building. He understood the power of young people. After he came to power in Germany in 1932 one of the early actions he took was to outlaw all youth groups, especially the religious ones. In their place, he formed the Hitler Youth and the German League of Young Girls. In these organizations young people were taught to revere Hitler and serve him without question. The youth of Germany were taught that they were the master race and it was their destiny to dominate the world. What happened as a result of Hitler harnessing the power of youth? A significant portion of this generation of German youth committed horrible atrocities in the name of their Fuhrer. In fact, Hitler did such a good job indoctrinating a generation that it was a detachment of Hitler Youth who died in the final battle for Berlin in 1945.
In India, there are two aspects to define youth power. On the one side its history...

Rock the Resume: How to sell your skills (not your soul)
The economy is shifting.
Jobs are resurfacing.
Is your resume ready?
A rock-solid resume helps you sell your skills — without selling your soul. And whether you're actively job-hunting or happily employed, it never hurts to polish up your personal brand.
Over the course of three concentrated workshops, you'll be empowered with the tools, templates and techniques to revamp this critical document — and start pounding the pavement with pride!
Workshop No. 1: Elements of a Rock-Solid Resume (60 min.)
Let's start from scratch! We'll discuss the strongest ways to articulate your mission statement, career objectives, education, work experience, volunteer activities, hobbies and references. We'll also delve into header image and logo design, creative layouts, and review some aesthetic "do's" and "don'ts."
Workshop No. 2: Tweaking and Targeting (60 min.)
Applying for a job? It's time to tailor your basic resume to suit your desired position. We'll talk about strategic ways to organize and highlight your resume elements — plus, how to gloss over work history gaps (and other "flaws") in an ethical fashion.
Workshop No. 3: Rocking the Interview (60 min.)
So you scored an interview — sweet! Chances are, your interviewer will use your resume as a springboard for further exploration. To get ready, we'll do some mock interviews and build lists of anticipated questions. We'll also run through some pre-interview research (and relaxation) techniques.

Carbonite Review: Online Cloud Backup
|Sign up for Carbonite
|Excellent and comprehensive online backup with easy remote file access, exclusive discount
Carbonite is a comprehensive and robust online backup service that will keep your important files backed up with a minimum of fuss and virtually no interference. It's all controlled by a simple program that runs invisibly in the background. In fact, the recent release of Carbonite 4.0, makes the whole process even easier. They've simplified the setup and given you more options for restoring your files. But before we get much more into restoring files, let's talk about backing things up.
As with all online backup services, the initial backup will take a while. Depending on your Internet connection speed and the amount of data on your hard drive, it could take a day or more. Your computer is completely usable during this time, but you'll need to keep it on and connected. Subsequent backups will take less time as Carbonite will only need to save new files and previously backed-up files that have changed.
By default, Carbonite backs up your documents, email, photos, and music. We like that Carbonite takes care of emails automatically, since many online backup services don't, requiring the user to manually locate these files and add them to a backup schedule. However, it won't back up files larger than 4GB unless you tell it to.
Home Plus & Home Premier Plan
Before, Carbonite lacked the ability to backup external hard drives. Now users who get the HomePlus or HomePremier plan can backup all of their external drives with the unlimited backup space that Carbonite provides. These plans also include a Mirror Image feature, creating a local copy of your computer's hard drive. Mirror Image backs up your operating system and programs, as well as your files and folders, to an external hard drive. Unfortunately, these features are not available with the basic Home Plan. HomePremier users can also get the new Courier Recovery feature. With this add-on, users can receive a copy of their backup shipped to their home or office. HomePremier also does automatic video backups, whereas users have to do this manually with the other two plans. Note that these two new plans are only available to PC users.
Restore & Remote File Access
In the event of a crash or any other data loss, you simply use the downloadable Carbonite InfoCenter to restore your lost data. But Carbonite's usefulness goes beyond disaster recovery. While we generally talk about an online backup service as a remedy for catastrophic data loss, there's another feature users will love and use much more often, and that's versioning. Carbonite will automatically save up to twelve versions of every file you back up. This allows you to roll back to a previous iteration of any file to recover lost changes. It's like the ultimate "undo." Anyone who's ever made unalterable changes to a large text or graphics file will recognize the value in this feature.
TUTORIAL: How to Restore Your Computer with Carbonite for the PC
At NextAdvisor, we get a number of questions from users about whether or not they can use Carbonite to migrate their files to a brand new PC, and we'd like to think that Carbonite's listened. That functionality is now standard with Carbonite 4.0; a new restore option promises to put all your files in just the right place on your new system.
Carbonite can also be used to access your files from any computer that has an Internet connection. Simply log in to the remote access section of carbonite.com and you'll see all your files, just as you would if you were looking at your hard drive (minus the programs). It's a good feature, and it's one you'll find with many online backup services, although it's not as evolved as it is in a product like SugarSync. You can't, for instance, use it to securely share files with others. They're for your eyes only. A small knock against an otherwise great service.
File Syncing
Carbonite's latest addition to their online backup service is their new syncing technology Currents. The Currents add-on works like a cloud storage system, allowing for the access and updating of stored files from any location across multiple devices. Currents is currently available on both Mac and PC, as well as the iPhone and Android phones. The desktop and mobile apps have a very intuitive design, making them extremely easy to setup and use.
One of the best features of Currents is its ability to continually save any changes made to documents, keeping the file up to date at all times. Currents also keeps a 30 day backup of all files and their changes. This way, if a mistake is made or a file becomes lost or corrupted, you have the ability to rollback to a previous version. The Currents service will not be installed when initially setting up the Carbonite backup system; users need to go to labs.carbonite.com to try out the service for free.
In regard to HIPAA compliance: Online backup services cannot legally state that they are officially HIPAA compliant. However, Carbonite contains all of the security features to protect data that is transmitted to and from their servers. Carbonite follows strict guidelines to meet factors that go into HIPAA compliance. If you want to know what HIPAA is, please visit our FAQ page.
Carbonite offers unlimited storage for a single computer for $59.99 per year (after discount), roughly $4.99 per month. Two- and three-year subscriptions can bring the price down to an equivalent of $4.35 per month. Unlimited backup is a great deal, but note that Carbonite limits you to backing up a single computer. If you'd like to backup multiple computers, you need to purchase a subscription for every computer you need to backup. As we mentioned above, Carbonite has introduced the HomePlus Plan and HomePremier Plan to their arsenal. Check out the pricing options for these more advanced plans:
For pure online backup, Carbonite is a great bargain. While it may not have all the fancy features other online backup providers have, the setup is simple, fuss free, and comprehensive. The user interface (see screen shot at left) is likewise simple and easy to use. You'll just set it and forget it—until the day you need to restore your files.

Sustainability - The Issue
Sustainability Linkages in the Federal GovernmentThe National Academies' Science and Technology for Sustainability Program is undertaking a nationally-focused study entitled Sustainability Linkages in the Federal Government. The Linkages initiative will attempt to identify and describe the linkages among domains such as energy, water, and health that are not routinely considered in decision making. The premise is that sustainability is a systems problem that cannot be achieved by separately optimizing its pieces. The study will build upon existing and emerging expertise throughout the scientific, technological, and policy communities, describing the nexus where domains intersect but existing institutions and disciplines do not.

It will reassess the technologies analyzed in NRC reports, Impact and Effectiveness of Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Standards (2002) and Assessment Fuel Economy Technologies for Improving Light-Duty Vehicle Fuel Economy (2011). It will reflect developments since these reports were issued and investigate any new technologies that may become important by 2030. The committee will also examine and make recommendations for improvements to the CAFE program. (Board on Energy & Environmental Systems, Studies and Special Programs Division)
Alaska's Oil and Gas Pipeline Infrastructure: Risk Assessment Peer ReviewThis TRB/NRC committee will provide a peer review of a proposed design for a comprehensive risk assessment of Alaska's oil and gas infrastructure. The risk assessment will include: 1) a one-time engineering-oriented appraisal of the condition of the infrastructure; 2) an identification, quantification, and evaluation of current and future significant risks from a systems-level perspective; and 3) a methodology by which mitigation and management options can be evaluated. (Transportation Research Board)
America's Energy FutureThere is a growing sense of national urgency about the role of energy in long-term U.S. economic vitality, national security, and climate change. The U.S. has the resources to combat this energy challenge; the dilemma is to identify which solutions will be right for our country, and how to address the massive technological and social changes to come. To fill this information gap, the National Academies launched the America's Energy Future study in 2007. This four-year project will explore energy technologies, providing authoritative estimates and analysis of the current and future supply of and demand for energy; new and existing technologies to meet those demands; their associated impacts; and their projected costs. (Division on Earth and Life Studies; Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences; National Academy of Engineering; Transportation Research Board)Assessment of Fuel Economy Technologies for Medium and Heavy Duty VehiclesThe committee will conduct an assessment of fuel economy technologies for medium and heavy-duty vehicles. According to the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, Section 108, the study is to develop a report evaluating medium-duty and heavy-duty truck fuel economy standards. Based on the language in Section 108, the NRC committee formed to carry out this study will address the following tasks, all of which will be discussed with the DOT/NHTSA representatives, as well as any relevant Congressional staff, at the committee's first meeting. (Board on Energy & Environmental Systems; Transportation Research Board)
Lessons Learned from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident for Improving Safety and Security of U.S. Nuclear Plants The National Research Council will provide an assessment of lessons learned from the Fukushima nuclear accident for improving the safety and security of nuclear plants in the United States. This assessment will address the following issues: 1) causes of the Fukushima nuclear accident, particularly with respect to the performance of safety systems and operator response following the earthquake and tsunami; 2) re-evaluation of the conclusions from previous NAS studies on safety and security of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste storage, particularly with respect to the safety and security of current storage arrangements and alternative arrangements in which the amount of commercial spent fuel stored in pools is reduced; 3) lessons that can be learned from the accident to improve commercial nuclear plant safety and security systems and operations; and 4) lessons that can be learned from the accident to improve commercial nuclear plant safety and security regulations, including processes for identifying and applying design basis events for accidents and terrorist attacks to existing nuclear plants. The study may examine policy options related to these issues but should not make policy recommendations that involve non-technical value judgments (Board on Energy & Environmental Systems, Committee on International Security and Arms Control, Office of the Foreign Secretaries, Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board)
Offshore Wind Energy Turbine Structural and Operating Safety This study will provide guidance to the Minerals Management Service (MMS) on the direction and intent of its proposed approach to overseeing the development and safe operation of offshore wind turbines. The focus of the study will be limited to the safety of structural and operational characteristics of offshore wind turbines, including turbine design, fabrication, installation, electrical transmission, decommissioning, and inspection and repair.
