They Are Different From Domestic Resumes
Whether you are looking for your first professional international job after graduating with a master's degree, or you are applying for your first internship or volunteer position abroad you should be aware that international
resumes are different from domestic resumes. For many, the idea of understanding international resumes is to figure out how to write a country specific resume, such as a Korean resume, a Portuguese resume, or an Italian resume. This idea is based
on a false premise. You will rarely be applying for international work with an employer based in a foreign country. Ninety-five percent of the international jobs open to entry-level North American university students looking for professional
international work will be with North American based employers or international organizations. These employers understand North American resumes styles. But there is a twist.
Three Big Differences
International resumes are different from domestic resumes because international employers place more emphasis on your personality. They focus on your international I.Q. They want to know that you will be effective
in an international work environment. They are often less concerned with your technical skills.
There are three building blocks to an international resume: First, you have to build a resume that shows your personality and is organized to match the employer's "ideal profile." Second, you need to emphasize your
cross-cultural skills, especially in terms of the cross-cultural work environment. And last, there are a host of smaller details—other differences that are unique to international resumes.
Show Your Professional Personality
International resumes highlight your skills and group information so that you do the analytical work for the recruiter. In this way nothing is left to chance. Employers will see you the way you want them to. Here
are a few specific strategies to put personality into your resume.
Career Objective: This fundamental statement about what you want to do and what you like to do suggests what you will most
likely excel at. Everything that follows in a resume is written to support this objective.
Personal and Professional Traits: This breakdown helps international employers know who you are and why you are good at
your work. Make sure each trait is backed up with concrete examples in your job descriptions. This tactic is especially useful for those who are new to the job market and may not have enough material or experience to write a full 1-page Skills
Skills Summary: This grouping is the most powerful tool you have. It gives you full control to tell employers who you
are. It takes lots of self-analysis. Work hard on choosing subtitles. Write efficiently.
Education: If you are just graduating and have few professional work experiences, write up your education as if it were
a job, listing three or four points under your degree. Tell employers who you are by first listing "Areas of Interest" (not courses taken). Write then about "Major Projects," the ones you excelled at. Write also about befriending international
students and working in multicultural student work teams. You could also list tutoring, study abroad, and language learning.
Professional Work Experience: By separating your professional jobs from non-professional work, you get to highlight jobs
that support your objective, which employers appreciate. Write at least one third of a page on each of these important jobs.
Job Descriptions: Include skills in your job descriptions, and for important jobs, consider grouping the description into
functional areas. Example: "Marketing," "Administration," and "Writing." For each job, always list one item that states "why you were successful" or "what you were known for." This tells the employer tons about who you are and what makes you
Other Sections: Show your personality in other sections of your resume. Examples: for awards based on merit state why
you received the award; for volunteer experience state what you accomplished; for travel provide details (e.g., "Enjoyed the challenges of getting around and interacting with officials while visiting Romania and Albania.").
Order Within Sections: There are many lists within your resume. Always sort these by order of importance as to how they
support your career objectives, with the most supportive item at the top. Thus in the details of your job description do not make the mistake of first listing the last task assigned or even the largest task; rather, list the task that best
supports your objective.
Group International Experience Together: By grouping your international experience under one section, you are increasing
its impact and minimizing the chances that some of your international experience is missed. Under the subtitle "International Expertise and Understanding" list: international education or courses, cross-cultural and international experiences
in North America and abroad (volunteering, interning, or working), language abilities, and international travel.
Length of Resume: An international resume can be longer since it includes more information about your personality. A 3-
to 4-page resume is normal. But don't forget every word must count (no gobbledygook please, efficient writing only!); and everything must be formatted to allow for speed-reading (subtitle your skills inventory, use functional job titles, break
down long jobs into functional areas).
Sell Your Cross-Cultural Skills
Let employers know that you are aware of the unique set of skills required to be successful in a cross-cultural work environment. Here are a few examples on where and how to mention these skills.
Skills Summary: Enjoys cross-cultural work environments; Adept and attracted to multi-cultural environments, both socially
and at work.
Job Descriptions: Positive attitude toward change and new environments; Sensitive to the dynamics of a cross-cultural
work place; Ability to relate to people of different personalities and backgrounds; Tolerant, curious, and appreciative of different work patterns while remaining committed to deadlines.
Education: Completed many projects within a multi-ethnic student team in order to gain cross-cultural work experience.
Volunteer Experience: Lived with a local family and successfully adapted to cultural changes.
Language: Ability to learn languages quickly when traveling.
Travel: Adept at building relationships while remaining street wise when traveling in developing countries.
Address Other Differences
There are a host of small differences to watch out for in an international resume. Obviously, language and travel descriptions need to be more detailed. But what about listing citizenship, especially if you have a
foreign sounding name. List marital status if you are single, have no dependents, and are available for travel. List your spouse's occupation if he or she has a mobile career such as teaching or nursing. Take care to provide a permanent email
address since international employers sometime contact applicants many months after applying.
A Last Word
It is most powerful to write an international resume with a career objective. While the objective can be broadly based, it has a specific career focus. You will be successful if you build each section and write each
description to support your objective.

My husband and I chose the River Room Suite for a weekend stay. This is an old Victorian house renovated to be very contemporary, which turned out beautifully. Bedding was so comfortable. I had asked about breakfast in our room which was no problem at all. Only drawback here was no table/chairs in the room to sit at. This was truly minor. Food was brought up on a nice stand and there is comfy seating in the room. We chose to eat in the dining room on the second morning which was great too. Michael was a personable, generous host. The best thing about the whole weekend were the breakfasts! These were some of the best we've ever had and we've probably been to close to a hundred B and B's. Creme brulee oatmeal, gorgeous fresh fruit, sausages to die for, and cinnamon twist bacon. MMMMM Also fresh organic milk and juice to wash it all down. There were only two things I would suggest for improvement and these are relatively minor. This B and B does not have satellite/cable. I would presume this is to promote a relaxing stay- which worked for us- but we also like to be able to watch TV in quiet without the kids interrupting. The other thing which might be beyond their control is that we were able to hear everything going on downstairs from in our room. Most likely the result of the old house where everything echoes throughout. Neither of these things hindered our weekend and I would most DEFINITELY go back for another stay. I would highly recommend this bed and breakfast to any couples looking for quality time together or just an overall quiet, relaxing getaway.

How NASA's Odyssey phoned home for the Curiosity landing
Like everything they build, engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) designed Curiosity's Sky Crane landing system to work. But nothing is guaranteed in spaceflight.
The team wouldn't know for sure whether the mission's entry, descent, and landing (or EDL) was successful until they got confirmation from the rover. The problem was that Curiosity's landing site in Gale Crater would be out of range at touchdown, so the team brought in a communications relay: the Mars Odyssey orbiter.
It was a simple and obvious solution, except that Odyssey experienced its first ever malfunctions weeks before Curiosity's landing.
NASA's Odyssey
After launching on April 7, 2001, NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter spent nearly eight months cruising toward the red planet before arriving on October 21. Using a method known as aerobraking — dipping into the Martian atmosphere a little bit at a time to lose speed — it took Odyssey an additional three months to enter into a proper orbit. Once settled, the spacecraft began its primary mission of making detailed maps of our cosmic neighbour.
Odyssey was designed to study and globally map the elemental composition of the planet's surface: determining mineralogy, abundance of hydrogen in the shallow subsurface areas, provide information on the structure and geological processes that have shaped the Martian surface, and return data on the planet's radiation environment. All these detailed measurements were done in the name of determining what health risks the environment of Mars might pose to future human explorers. The information also helped scientists select the most interesting landing sites for future missions, like Curiosity.
Odyssey As A Relay Point
But imaging Mars isn't all Odyssey can do. The orbiter also serves as a communications relay point between Earth and missions on the Martian surface. It's unique in its ability to relay data instantly as well as store information for later download.
Odyssey ended its primary mission and began its extended mission on August 24, 2004, and it's still going strong. It's been an indispensable communications relay between NASA and the Spirit and Opportunity rovers. Odyssey is responsible for transmitting over 95% of the data from the rovers back to Earth; it's still a vital relay between NASA and the latter rover that's now on its own very extended mission. Odyssey was also a communications relay for the Mars Phoenix Lander that reached Mars in 2008.
With its stellar record as a reliable relay spacecraft, NASA planned on using Odyssey and it's capacity for immediate downlinks to follow Curiosity to the surface. There are other orbiters that would be watching the rover's landing — NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and the European Space Agency's Mars Express — but neither could receive a signal from Curiosity and send it straight to Earth. There would be an hours-long wait time to collect data from these spacecraft. Odyssey was the best bet for the Curiosity team to get immediate news on Curiosity's fate — allowing, of course, for the 14-minute communications delay between Mars and Earth.
Communicating directly between Earth and Mars is hard, requiring large amounts of power since a radio signals has to penetrate the Martian atmosphere, traverse millions of miles of deep space, and then reach a ground station through the Earth's atmosphere. Curiosity has limited power and direct signals received on Earth are weak, noisy, and come at a low delivery rate. Using Odyssey as a relay point makes things a lot easier. The orbiter is much closer, so if the rover can see the orbiter and the orbiter can see the Earth, real-time communications — allowing for the light time delay, of course — are possible.
Preparing Odyssey
Getting Odyssey into the right orbit so that it would fly over Curiosity's landing site at touchdown wasn't, as you'd imagine, a simple move. It took months and short controlled burns of the spacecraft's thrusters to slowly change its orbital trajectory. But that's only half the battle. Odyssey would have to be in the right orientation or attitude in orbit to receive a signal from Mars and send it to Earth.
To achieve and maintain a specific orientation relative to the Earth, Mars and the Sun, Odyssey uses three reaction wheels, which are positioned at right angles to each other inside the spacecraft. They are spun-up or spun-down to generate a gyroscopic force that affects the spacecraft's body, and spinning the wheels a certain way will turn the spacecraft. The reaction wheels run off electricity harvested from Odyssey's solar panels, meaning the limited amount of fuel on board the orbiter isn't wasted on orientation.
If Odyssey loses its orientation, it can lose its ability to relay data between Mars and Earth if its antennae end up pointing in the wrong direction. The solar panels could turn away from the sun, drawing on the spacecraft's batteries and draining its power quickly. Both of these issues, if unadjusted, could jeopardize the spacecraft.
Not So Safe Mode
Odyssey has performed well on its now 11-year mission. But on June 8, the spacecraft put itself unexpectedly into safe mode. Safe mode is a low activity state Earth facing state, a default position the spacecraft assumes when it detects a problem on board. It basically gets ready to hear from home about to fix the problem.
Scientists found that Odyssey detected an unexpected movement in one of its three reaction wheels; one had stuck for a few minutes. The problem was isolated, limited to that one wheel, so Odyssey didn't reboot its computer entirely. Scientists were also to start addressing the problem right away.
Luckily, Odyssey carries a spare reaction wheel. This fourth wheel is set at a skewed angle to all three primary wheels, allowing it to replace any one of the three should one fail. But the spare had been in non-operational storage for more than 11 years, it hadn't moved since before Odyssey's April 7, 2001 launch. Scientists would have to carefully try to bring that wheel online if they were going to have a real time relay for Curiosity.
There's always some risk is using a spare part, particularly one that's been dormant in a spacecraft for ten years since launch. But the risks associated with not fixing the wheel were greater. The lasting damage to Odyssey would have meant losing it was an orbiter and vital relay point for both rovers Opportunity and Curiosity. Not to mention NASA's next mission to Mars, InSight, will possibly need the orbiter as a relay when it reaches the red planet in 2016.
On Wednesday June 12 NASA cautiously tested the spare wheel, spinning it up to 5,000 rotations per minute forward and backward. It was a way of shaking the metaphorical dust off the spare part. It worked, and by June 19 Odyssey was out of safe mode and back to full service on June 27.
Then on July 13, Odyssey put itself back in safe mode for 21 hours. The glitch came after the shortest burn deigned to trim Odyssey's orbit, just 1.5 seconds long. Apparently, this small manoeuvre put an unexpectedly high demand on one reaction wheel. Again, mission scientists worked the problem, brought the spacecraft back to full health, and continued adjusting its orbit. A six-second burn of Odyssey's thrusters on Tuesday July 24 was the final push to get Odyssey lined up to talk to Curiosity and NASA during the rover's landing.
It was that last burn that made the necessary adjustments to Odyssey's orbit and allowed it to come up over Curiosity's landing site right in time for landing. It might seem like a last minute arrival, but that's the nature of coordinating orbiting vehicles.
A Happy Landing
Last Sunday night in mission control at JPL, the entry descent and landing team huddled over their consoles waiting for word from Odyssey that Curiosity had landed. When the signal came, the room erupted in cheers and the mood at JPL changed from tense to exuberant. Had the Odyssey team been unable to fix the spacecraft and confirm its orbit, the Curiosity team wouldn't have had that moment of celebration after hours of tense waiting knowing Curiosity was on the surface but not in what shape. Odyssey played a big role in a lot of people's celebrations over Curiosity's success.

Does well in Snow in 4WD, nice appearance and stance. Lots of Cargo space with rear seats folded down.
No COMPASS on a COMPASS ??!! Whats up with that ? Lots of problems with Front Suspension. Defective parts on ALL 2007 Compasses, had to have it all replaced, still rattles.
Bad Suspension Compass — I like the look and overall ride of this vehicle, but Chrysler dropped the ball on putting defective Front Suspension and Cross members in this vehicle. NO Recall on the defective Suspension. Luckily I had Extended Warranty that covered complete replacement ! (only 40,000 miles) Just got a front Crossmember replaced under "Service Bulletin" status, that I found out from my Non Dealer Mechanic. Completely rusted out at 65,000 miles, 7 years. Don't buy a 2007 Compass, way to many Bugs that were not worked out, or admitted to by Chrysler.

It won't has power windows, makes some noise when you're speeding but it's not a problem just from this car, they all have this.
The Perfect Combination - Simple And Economic — It's the perfect car for people that won't drive much, like me. Only to work, supermarket, etc. It is a really amazing price for this car. Comfortable, simple, economic you won't spend much in fuel. In my opinion a fine SUV.

Just a tiny bit too much road noise. Could be solved with undercoating.
2007 Jeep Compass — Dependable. Very good fuel mileage for a vehicle that has AWD and 4WD. Very roomy and comfortable for a smaller vehicle. Handles and rides like a good car. Overall, can't beat 30+ mpg and the variable valve timing is awesome. Gives me what I need when I need it. Whether it's torque or rpm or fuel mileage. It's been bang on so far. I will buy another Jeep product.

Maine West coaches tell cops they didn't know about hazing
BY BECKY SCHLIKERMAN AND JON SEIDEL Staff Reporters December 18, 2012 7:54PM

Updated: January 20, 2013 6:22AM
Two embattled Maine West High School soccer coaches claimed they didn't know about hazing on their teams, according to a police report.
The varsity coach, Michael Divincenzo, also denied threatening to have older players assault freshmen if they didn't communicate, as has been previously alleged, according to Des Plaines Police reports released to the Sun-Times Tuesday.
Emilio Rodriguez, the freshman coach, told police he had never witnessed anything "illegal" happening to his players, according to the reports.
The documents were released by the city a day before the Maine Township High School District 207 school board is set to hold a special meeting to discuss a "personnel item that is related to the Maine West investigation."
The coaches have been accused of sanctioning a hazing culture at the school that allegedly led to the sexual assault of at least three soccer players and one baseball player, according to a lawsuit filed last month. Neither the coaches nor their attorneys returned calls for comment Tuesday. The lawsuit was sparked by an alleged hazing in September in which multiple soccer players said older players sodomized them with fingers and sticks.
Divincenzo told police on Nov. 13 that he became aware of an incident in September only after Rodriguez texted him and told him a freshman player was "pantsed."
"Divincenzo then reprimanded his team and made them go to the freshman team and apologize and do 100 push ups in front of them," according to the report. "Divincenzo stated that he has never heard of an 'initiation' for the soccer team and no player had ever disclosed anything to him."
About two weeks before Divincenzo spoke to police, Rodriguez was interviewed.
Rodriguez told police that in late September his players went on a run, and when they returned, a player told him "varsity players tackled him and tried to pull his pants down," according to the report. The teen said the older players didn't get his underwear down.
Rodriguez texted Divincenzo and said, "Tell your guys to lay off my guys."
Divincenzo asked what happened, and Rodriguez said varsity players had "pulled [a freshman's] pants down. Not the boxers. They are making a big deal about it."
Divincenzo replied: "Sorry I talked to them it won't happen again."
The varsity players then were sent to the freshman practice to do the push-ups. During the push-ups, some of the older players asked the younger ones "Who snitched?" Rodriguez told police
The coaches' statements conflict with what some of the alleged victims told police and what has been claimed in a lawsuit.
Maine West's principal also reported to police an alleged incident in which Divincenzo is said to have witnessed an initiation in July, congratulated the victim, "welcomed him, and asked him if it was all good," according to previously released reports. The incident was not addressed in the summary of an officer's interview with Divincenzo.
After interviews with Divincenzo, Rodriguez and other coaches, police and a prosecutor determined no charges could be filed, according to the police reports. That was on Nov. 21, before the Cook County State's Attorney's office began a "top-to-bottom" review of the allegations by the sex crimes division, which is ongoing.
Officers also interviewed several potential recipients of an "initiation," and most told police they had only been pushed down or given wedgies. But another claimed other students gave him a "sharkey" multiple times — he said it involved other players putting their fingers between the cheeks of his buttocks but not in his anus.
Police told the student's mother it was a battery, and she said he wound up quitting the team.
Meanwhile, former students plan to attend the special school board meeting to show support for the coaches — especially the man they call "Divo." Joey Ruffolo, a 2008 grad, said it's only fair to support the coach who was always there for him.
"He's always had his door open," said Ruffolo, 22. ". . . To be there for him almost like he was for us, it's something I feel like I should do just to pay him back for the stuff he's done for us."

Marine Animal Encyclopedia
Zebra Nerite Puperita pupa
The small, rounded, smooth, black-and-white striped shell of the zebra nerite is typical of the species, but in examples from Florida the shell is sometimes more mottled or speckled with black. These gastropods are most active during the day, when they feed on microorganisms such as diatoms and cyanobacteria, but if they become too hot or they are exposed at low tide, they cluster together, withdraw into their shells, and become inactive. This may be a mechanism for preventing excessive water loss.
Unusually for gastropods, there are separate males and females of zebra nerites and fertilization of the eggs occurs internally. The males use their penis to deposit sperm into a special storage organ inside the female. Later, she lays a series of small white eggs that hatch into planktonic larvae.

Is it me, or is every health care facility I take my elderly parents to secretly intent on killing them off? As a culture, we seem to have moved from death as the ultimate taboo to be avoided at all costs, through a stage of taking it out of the closet and learning to speak openly about the dying process, all the way to the opposite position: "Death? No worries, mate, why keep putting it off? Die now, before it's too late!"
This past Friday, an Asian female version of Dr. Kevorkian came into my 90-year-old dad's rehab room with grim news. His blood work, she said, had revealed elevated sodium levels, indicating dehydration, and before I could even utter the word "fluids," she launched into her progressive humanist geriatric physician's straight-talking/enlightened-about-death/time-to-let-go-and-say-your-good-byes speech, throwing in for good measure the fact that "death by dehydration is not a bad or painful way to go." I tried changing the subject to "liquids" but she had already moved on to the part about "I know this is a tough time for your family, and we've discussed your dad's Advanced Directive, you've told us he wanted no heroic measures taken to prolong his life" and so forth, and the whole time, I just couldn't help thinking, "How about a glass of water? That's not really all that heroic, really. The guy is just very, very thirsty."

You can compare XML text from files of the same name. To complete the operation, the XML comparison tool copies one of the models to a temporary folder, because Simulink® cannot have two models of the same name in memory at the same time. The XML comparison tool creates a read-only copy of one model named modelname_TEMPORARY_COPY, and compares the resulting XML files.
Alternatively, you can run the comparison by renaming or copying one of the files.
All merge operations merge from left to right, so you cannot accidentally merge to a temporary copy. Merge operations on models with identical names copy changes from the left (temporary copy) model to the right model. If you swap sides, the report always places a new temporary copy on the left side of the report, so any merges change the original model file and never a temporary copy.
If one of the models is open when you try to compare XML files, a dialog box appears where you can click Yes to close the file and proceed, or No to abort. You must close open models before the XML comparison tool can compare XML files from two models with the same name. The problem requiring you to close the loaded model is called "shadowed files". In some cases, another model with the same name might be in memory, but not visible. See Shadowed Files in the Simulink documentation for more information.
If you want to automatically close open models of the same name when comparing XML files and not see the dialog box again, run these commands:
opt = slxmlcomp.options opt.setCloseSameNameModel(true)
This is persistent across MATLAB® sessions. To revert to default behavior and be prompted whether or not to close the open model every time, enter:
opt = slxmlcomp.options opt.setCloseSameNameModel(false)

Radioactive Iodine Uptake Test
Test Overview
A radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) test uses a radioactive tracer and a special probe to measure how much tracer the thyroid gland absorbs from the blood. The test can show how much tracer is absorbed by the thyroid gland and if it is evenly spread in the gland. This helps your doctor know if the thyroid gland is working properly. The radioactive tracer commonly used in this test is iodine.
A radioactive iodine uptake test is done to find problems with how the thyroid gland works, such as hyperthyroidism. An RAIU test may be done at the same time as a thyroid scan.
Why It Is Done
A radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) test is done to:
- Find the cause of an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism).
- Plan treatment for hyperthyroidism.
How To Prepare
Tell your doctor if you:
- Take any medicines regularly. Be sure your
doctor knows the names and doses of all your medicines. Your doctor will
instruct you if and when you need to stop taking any of the following medicines
that can change the RAIU test results.
- Thyroid hormones
- Antithyroid medicines
- Medicines that contain iodine, such as iodized salt, kelp, cough syrups, multivitamins, or the heart medicine amiodarone (such as Cordarone or Pacerone)
- Are allergic to any medicines, such as iodine. But even if you are allergic to iodine, you will likely be able to have this test because the amount used in the tracer is so small that your chance of an allergic reaction is very low.
- Have ever had a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) from any substance, such as the venom from a bee sting or from eating shellfish.
- Have had any test using radioactive materials or iodine dye 4 weeks before the RAIU test. These other tests may change the results of the RAIU test.
- Are or might be pregnant.
- Are breast-feeding.
Before an RAIU test, blood tests may be done to measure the amount of thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, and T4) in your blood.
To prepare for an RAIU test:
- Do not eat for 2 hours before the test.
- Do not take any antithyroid medicine for 5 to 7 days before the test.
Your doctor may ask you to eat a low-iodine diet.
For an RAIU, you will swallow a dose of radioactive iodine. Iodine can be taken as a capsule or a fluid 4 to 24 hours before the test. Iodine has little or no taste.
Just before the test, you will remove your dentures (if you wear them) and all jewelry or metal objects from around your neck and upper body.
Before a radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) test, you need to sign a consent form that says you understand the risks of the test and agree to have it done. Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?) .
How It Is Done
A radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) test is done in the nuclear medicine section of a hospital's radiology department by a person trained in nuclear medicine (nuclear medicine technologist).
For this test, you will lie on your back with your head tipped backward and your neck extended. It is important to lie still during this test. A special machine is placed over your thyroid gland to measure the amount of tracer absorbed by the thyroid gland 4 to 6 hours after you took the iodine. This is not an X-ray machine—it is a scanner that detects the radiation given off by the tracer. The test takes about 10 minutes. Another scan is done again in 24 hours.
After an RAIU test, you can do your regular activities. But you will be asked to take special precautions when you urinate. This is because your body gets rid of the radioactive tracer through your urine. This takes about 24 hours. It is important to flush the toilet and wash your hands thoroughly after each time you urinate.
How It Feels
You may find it uncomfortable to lie still with your head tipped backward.
There is always a slight chance of damage to cells or tissue from radiation, including the low levels of radiation used for this test. But the chance of damage from the radiation is usually very low compared with the benefits of the test.
This test is not done for pregnant women because of the chance of exposing the baby (fetus) to radiation. This test is also not recommended for breast-feeding women or young children.
A radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) test uses a radioactive tracer and a special probe to measure how much tracer the thyroid gland absorbs from the blood. The radioactive tracer used in this test is iodine. An RAIU test is done to check for thyroid gland problems, such as hyperthyroidism.
The amount of radioactive tracer in the thyroid gland is normal. An RAIU test measures the amount of tracer taken up by the thyroid gland at certain times after the tracer is given. The measured amount of radioactive tracer in the thyroid gland at each one of these times is at normal levels.
The test shows either more or less uptake of tracer than normal in the thyroid gland. The uptake may be even or uneven. If hyperthyroidism is present, abnormal test results may mean certain conditions are present.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Taking thyroid medicine.
- Eating foods with iodine, such as shellfish, iodized salt, or kelp.
- Having other tests using contrast materials in the past 4 weeks.
What To Think About
- Blood tests may be done before a radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) to measure the amount of thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, and T4) in your blood. For more information, see the medical tests Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and Thyroid Hormone Tests.
- A thyroid scan may be done at the same time as an RAIU test. For more information, see the medical test Thyroid Scan.

Small firms typically rely on the CEO's individual knowledge for developinginnovations, but recent work suggests that this is inefficient because it underutilizes otheremployees' knowledge. In their paper "Small firm innovation performance and employeeinvolvement," Petra Andries and Dirk Czarnitzki study "to which extent using CEOs,managers and non-managerial employees' ideas enhances small firms' innovationperformance." The analysis relies on a dataset of 305 small manufacturing and servicefirms, collected through a large-scale survey.
Previous work studies the impact of employee involvement on the large firms' innovativeperformance, but Andries and Czarnitzki are among the first to apply this to small firms.They find that "also in small firms, using ideas of managers but even of non-managerialemployees significantly impacts a firm's innovative performance. More specifically,[they] show that for process innovation performance, small firms benefit greatly fromsuggestions by non-managerial production employees." For product innovationperformance, their results show that there is a positive effect of using non-managerialemployees' ideas, suggesting that the "historical focus on the entrepreneur/CEO whichwas broadened more recently to the study of entrepreneurial teams does not yet fullycapture small firms' innovative potential."
They write that, "although CEOs generally do not provide relevant input for processinnovation, their ideas are actually very relevant for product innovation." In addition,they show that "R&D managers' knowledge is highly relevant knowledge for productinnovation, while production managers' suggestions contribute heavily to processinnovation. At the same time, however, we show that ideas from R&D managers do notcontribute to process innovation, ideas from production managers do not contribute toproduct innovation and using ideas from managers in marketing/distribution oradministration does not contribute to process nor product innovation. This implies that,depending on their functional expertise and the desired type of innovation, CEOs andmanagers actually do contribute their knowledge and skills directly to innovation."Finally their results show that "non-managerial employees' contributions depend on theirfunctional area of expertise as well as on the desired type of innovation."
One important managerial implication of this paper is that "small firms' CEOs shouldrefrain from relying solely on their own actions and ideas in the innovation process." Asecond is that "both functional differences as well as differences between product andprocess innovation need to be taken into account when a firm intends to use ideas fromemployees in its innovation process. If a firm wants to excel in product innovation, itshould focus mainly on using ideas from its CEO and R&D managers. If it wants to excelin process innovation, attention should go to ideas from employees in the productiondepartment, including both production managers and non-managerial productionemployees." At the end of the day, Andries and Czarnitzki's research "clearly indicatesthat separate – and perhaps simultaneous – initiatives to engage a select group ofemployees in either process or product innovation are far more efficient."

Semiconductor and integrated circuit developments continue to proceed at an incredible pace. For example, today's microprocessor chips have one thousand times the processing power of those a decade ago. These challenges have been accomplished because of the integrated circuit industry's ability to track something known as Moore's Law. Moore's Law states that an integrated circuit's processing power will double every two years. This has been accomplished by making devices smaller and smaller. The industry is also pushing to use semiconductor devices in an increasing array of applications. To accomplish this, the industry is adopting a number of new packages that incorporate polymers to reduce cost, reduce weight, and increase performance. Polymers and FTIR is a 1.5-day course that offers detailed instruction on the technology issues associated with polymers in semiconductor packages and electronics. We place special emphasis on current package technology issues like interposers, substrates, stress relief layers, and tools for package analysis. This course is a must for every manager, engineer, and technician working in semiconductor packaging, using semiconductor components in high performance applications or non-standard packaging configurations, or supplying packaging tools to the industry.
By focusing on current issues in packaging technology, participants will learn why advances in the industry are occurring along certain lines and not others. Our instructors work hard to explain semiconductor packaging without delving heavily into the complex physics and materials science that normally accompany this discipline.

Panasonic Continuous Operation Bathroom Fan FV-13VKS3 (Replaces FV-13VKS2)
<0.3 to .7 Sones
6.4 to 23.3 CFM/Watt
6 Year Warranty on DC Motor
Duct Diameter (inches): 6"
Mounting Opening (inches sq.): 10 7/8"
Grille Size (inches sq.): 13"
Overall Dimensions: (H x W x D) 13" x 13" x 7 7/8"
This fan is designed to run continuously ensuring a healthy climate at low CFM levels 24 hours a day. NOTE: This NEW model can also be configured for spot (non-continuous) ventilation!! This fan is also built to take care of the homeowners spot ventilation needs when the room is occupied. This fan kicks-up to a maximum level of 130 CFM when the switch is turned on. A High/Low Delay Timer, located inside the fan unit, is utilized to return the fan back to the pre-set continuous ventilation mode.
There are a variety of ways that this fan can be switched. When contact with the high speed (red) wire is opened - the countdown begins to turn the fan down to the continuous operation (low) speed. As the wiring diagram indicates - it is also possible to introduce an additional switch to override the fan and turn it off altogether. We have made a special "momentary contact" switch available to make the transition from low to high speed easy.
DC Brushless Motor
Panasonic's DC brushless motor provides unparalleled energy efficiency with its magnetic rotor and print circuit board. The magnetic rotor prevents energy loss while the print circuit board incorporates a unique IC chip which monitors and directs the RPM of the fan blade. The combination of these two unique features allows the DC motor to have higher energy efficiency than an AC motor.
Constant CFM Performance
This WhisperGreenT model features built-in intelligence called SmartFlowT Optimum CFM Technology. This unique "electronic-brain" lets the fan do what was once thought to be impossible, perform at a constant CFM regardless of elbows and other factors that might hinder performance. Basically, when a WhisperGreenT fan faces static pressure, its speed is automatically increased to ensure that the desired CFM is actually achieved. This allows the fan to perform as rated and makes for easier installation because the installer no longer has to worry as much about compromising the fan's performance. Uses ultra energy-efficient DC motor.
Variable Speed Control
This fan is equipped with a CustomVentT Variable Speed Control. This allows the fan to run continuously at a pre-set lower level of 0-110 CFM that can then be elevated to a maximum of 130 CFM when the switch is turned on. A High/Low delay timer (adjustable up to 60 minutes), will then return the fan to the minimum CFM level after a period of time set by the user.
So Quiet You Might Not Know it's On
This WhisperCeilingT model features a totally enclosed condenser motor and a large, double suction blower wheel to quietly move air. A small wheel turning very fast will create more noise than a large wheel turning more slowly for a given airflow. Our fan uses a wide blower wheel that moves a large amount of air at reduced RPMs. The blower wheel is also designed to draw air in from both sides, which helps keep the noise down, as there is more area for the air to enter the wheel. In fact, it is quiet enough that you might not even know it's on.
Continuous, Trouble-free Operation for Many Years
This fan is designed to give you continuous, trouble-free operation for many years thanks in part to its high-quality components and permanently lubricated motors which wear at a slower pace. Also, since heat is always detrimental to motor life (the cooler the environment, the longer the motor will last), we designed the electrical configuration of this model's condenser motor to allow it to operate at lower temperatures, increasing the life of the motor and bearings. And, the fan housing is made of heavy-gauge zinc galvanized steel and painted to protect it from rust.
User-Friendly Installation
Detachable adaptors, firmly secured duct ends, adjustable mounting brackets (up to 26"), fan/motor units that detach easily from the housing and uncomplicated wiring all lend themselves to user-friendly installation. This model also features a double-hanger bar system for ideal positioning.
Energy Star� Qualified for Energy Savings
Energy Star qualified products feature super-quiet operation and high CFM-to-Watt efficiency. The Energy Star program was created to help consumers identify products that can save them money and protect the environment by saving energy. As an Energy Star partner, all our fans are Energy Star qualified and labeled accordingly.
Tired of Cold Air Coming Through Your Ventilation Fan?
This Panasonic fan has a built-in damper to prevent backdraft, which helps to prevent outside air from coming through the fan. Also, thanks to our efficient, cool running motors and fluorescent bulbs, it does not create excessive heat-a common problem with recessed lighting fixtures and some competitors' fan/light combinations. Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly over the fan housing to prevent heat from escaping.

Comments about Panasonic WhisperGreen Continuous Operation Bathroom Fan FV-13VKS3:
Fan installed to equalize temperatures within home which is wood heated. I installed this fan in the main bedroom to circulate air to the living area where the woodstove is located. Fan is mounted vertically in the wall, not horizontally as shown in literature. Having the unit in the bedroom wall, venting to the cathedral ceiling of the living area made it less noticeable and easier to adjust speed. Even though very quiet, in a still room you do hear it operate, so we keep it turned down to 50% output and then leave it run continuously. I would buy another.
Best Uses
Comments about Panasonic WhisperGreen Continuous Operation Bathroom Fan FV-13VKS3:
Fan is well made. There are a couple extra wires which allow periodic high speed operation. If known in advance, I would have hard wired them to a wall switch. Fan is quiet, althoughI can still hear it. My use was to circulate warm air (heated by a wood stove) to the master bedroom.
Best Uses
Comments about Panasonic WhisperGreen Continuous Operation Bathroom Fan FV-13VKS3:
I installed this in my 8 x 12 foot bathroom in about two hours total, including opening the box and reading the instructions. Almost silent, but moves a LOT of air and should cost near nothing to operate.

Fewer than 10 hospital staff refuse mandatory flu shot
Lone union member faces firing
WATERBURY — Waterbury Hospital said Tuesday that fewer than 10 full- and part-time employees — and just one union member — have refused to get a seasonal flu shot, which the hospital now requires of its entire staff.
The hospital, along with Saint Mary's Hospital across town, instituted the policy this fall, with both facilities allowing exceptions only for health reasons or religious objections. Employees who fail to get the shot face disciplinary action, including termination.

So how is a person 'protected,' let alone those around them? In fact, "protection' merely means presence of a certain amount of antibodies produced by the vaccine. This is assumed to mean one will not get the disease, but that assumption is NOT necessarily true.
In fact, the flu vaccine is notoriously ineffective. Better to keep their staff safe by NOT compromising their immune systems (or their lives) by forcing them to be injected with toxic substances.
Too bad the pharmaceutical companies have such a grip on people's common sense. "
