Article: Bacterial Deterioration of Marble Monuments: A Case Study of the Conservation Project of Acropolis Monuments[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The deterioration of the Acropolis monuments' surface can be attributed to a combination of mechanical, physical, chemical and biological factors. The aim of this work was to investigate the potential use of biocides suitable for marble surface in order to confront the biodeterioration phenomenon due to heterotrophic bacteria. Surface bacterial populations were studied in respect to the application of three biocide agents. A significant decrease of the bacterial counts was occurred after the biocides' application and remained less compared with the counts occurred on the untreated surfaces for more than 14 months. A gradual diminution of bacterial diversity was also observed leading to the survival of specific Gram positive strains.Geomicrobiology 09/2014; 31(8). · 1.61 Impact Factor
Article: Evaluation of Paecilomyces variotii potential in bioethanol production from lignocellulose through consolidated bioprocessing.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The ascomycete Paecillomyces variotii was evaluated for the first time as a candidate species for the production of bioethanol from lignocellulose through consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) approaches. The examined strain (ATHUM 8891) revealed all the necessary phenotypic characteristics required for 2nd generation biofuel production. The fungus is able to efficiently ferment glucose and xylose to ethanol, with yields close to the theoretical maximum. Nitrogen supplementation greatly affected ethanol production with nitrate-nitrogen presenting the best results. Notably, ethanol yield on xylose fermentation was higher than that of glucose, while in co-fermentation of glucose-xylose mixtures no distinguished diauxic behavior was observed. Furthermore, the fungus seems to possess the necessary enzyme factory for the degradation of lignocellulosic biomass, as it was able to grow and produce ethanol on common agro-industrial derivatives. Overall, the results of our study indicate that P. variotii is a new and possibly powerful candidate for CBP applications.Bioresource Technology 04/2014; 162C:294-299. · 5.04 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Gene fusion and fission events are important for evolutionary studies and for predicting protein-protein interactions. Previous studies have shown that fusion events always predominate over fission events and, in their majority, they represent singular events throughout evolution. In this project, the role of fusion and fission events in the genome evolution of 104 human bacterial pathogens was studied. 141 protein pairs were identified to be involved in gene fusion or fission events. Surprisingly, we find that, in the species analyzed, gene fissions prevail over fusions. Moreover, while most events appear to have occurred only once in evolution, 23% of the gene fusion and fission events identified are deduced to have occurred independently multiple times. Comparison of the analyzed bacteria with non-pathogenic close relatives indicates that this impressive result is associated with the recent evolutionary history of the human bacterial pathogens, and thus is probably caused by their pathogenic lifestyle.Genomics 01/2014; · 3.01 Impact Factor

Article: Carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa from central Greece: molecular epidemiology and genetic analysis of class I integrons.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a serious challenge for antimicrobial therapy of nosocomial infections, as it possesses several mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance. In Central Greece, a sudden increase of infections caused by carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa was observed during 2011, indicating the need for further analysis. Five-hundred and sixty-eight P. aeruginosa isolates were collected consecutively during an 8-month period in 2011 from inpatients treated in three hospitals in the Thessaly region (1,000,000 habitants) of Greece. Carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa (n = 284) were characterized by antimicrobial susceptibility testing and beta-lactamase content, and the genetic relatedness of carbapenemase-producing isolates was assessed by BOX-PCR, multilocus sequence typing, and eBURST analysis. Mapping of the class I integrons of Verona integron-encoded metallo-beta-lactamase (VIM)-carrying isolates was also performed, and clinical data of the VIM producers were reviewed. Eighty (14.1%) out of the 568 P. aeruginosa isolates recovered from clinical specimens were VIM producers. Multilocus sequence typing revealed high prevalence of the international clones ST111 and ST235 among blaVIM-2- and blaVIM-4-positive isolates, respectively. blaVIM-17 was identified in an isolate of a novel sequence type (ST1457). blaVIM gene cassettes were carried by five distinct class I integrons, including two novel ones. Since the first report of VIM-producing P. aeruginosa in 2000, this microorganism still remains among the most prevalent multidrug resistant pathogens in Greece. The spread of VIM-producers belonging to the most common international clones (ST111 and ST235), the spread of integrons of divergent structures, and the emergence of novel integrons underscore their ongoing evolution.BMC Infectious Diseases 10/2013; 13(1):505. · 3.03 Impact Factor
Article: Evidence-based marine protected area planning for a highly mobile endangered marine vertebrate[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) now form an important part of marine conservation and fisheries management; hence, there is broad interest in developing procedures that optimize their design. We used data collected over a 10-year period (2003–2012) from direct surveys and >100 adult male and female loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) tracked with devices, includ ing GPS loggers and Fastloc GPS Argos, to consider the optimum design for a MPA at a globally important breeding area, where there is already an existing national marine park aiming to protect the population (Zakynthos, Greece). Turtles primarily used areas very close to shore (approx. 7 km in length by 1 km in width, within the <10 m isobath) for breeding and foraging activity at different times of the year. We calculated that this small nearshore coastal zone encompassed 72% of all turtle GPS locations recorded in the MPA, and is therefore important for conservation management. We developed an index to evaluate the suitability of the existing and proposed conservation zones based on (1) home range area use by turtles in these zones versus (2) zone size, so that the benefit to turtles could be maximized while minimizing the negative impacts to other stakeholders (e.g., boat operators). With this evidence-based approach, we propose a modification to the existing MPA that might both enhance local economic tourism activities and better safeguard this key sea turtle breeding population. The approaches used here will have general application for the design of MPAs used by mobile species that can be tracked.Biological Conservation 05/2013; 161:101-109. · 3.79 Impact Factor
Article: Greek indigenous streptomycetes as biocontrol agents against the soil-borne fungal plant pathogen Rhizoctonia solani.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: AIMS: To examine the biocontrol potential of multi-active Greek indigenous Streptomyces isolates carrying antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia solani that causes damping-off symptoms on beans. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 605 Streptomyces isolates originated from 12 diverse Greek habitats were screened for antifungal activity against R. solani DSM843. Almost one third of the isolates proved to be antagonistic against the fungus. From the above isolates, six were selected due to their higher antifungal activity, identified by analyzing their 16rRNA gene sequence and studied further. The obtained data showed: firstly, that the isolates ACTA1383 and ACTA1557, exhibited the highest antagonistic activity and therefore they were selected for in vivo experiments using bean seeds as target; secondly, in solid and liquid culture experiments under optimum antagonistic conditions, the medium extracts from the isolates OL80, ACTA1523, ACTA1551 and ACTA1522 suppressed the growth of the fungal mycelium, whilst extracts from ACTA 1383 and ACTA1557 did not show any activity. CONCLUSIONS: These results corresponded important indications for the utility of two Greek indigenous Streptomyces isolates (ACTA1557 and ACTA1383) for the protection of the bean crops from Rhizoctonia solani damping-off symptoms while four of them (isolates OL80, ACTA1523, ACTA1551 and ACTA1522) seem to be promising producers of antifungal metabolites. © 2013 The Authors Journal of Applied Microbiology © 2013 The Society for Applied Microbiology.Journal of Applied Microbiology 01/2013; · 2.20 Impact Factor
Article: Satellite tracking large numbers of individuals to infer population level dispersal and core areas for the protection of an endangered species[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aim. Tracking the dispersal patterns and habitat use of migratory species is necessary to delineate optimal areas for protection, with large sample sizes being more representative of the population. Here, we examine the dispersal patterns of a key Mediterranean loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) breeding population to identify priority foraging sites for protection. Location. Zakynthos Island, Greece and the wider Mediterranean. Method. We examined the dispersal patterns and foraging sites of 75 adult loggerheads (n = 38 males and 37 females) tracked from the breeding area of Zakynthos Island (Greece) from 2004 to 2011. We then combined our data with published sea turtle literature to identify key foraging sites for protection. Results. While both males and females exhibited similar dispersal patterns, about 25% males remained < 100 km of Zakynthos, whereas all females (except one) migrated > 200 km. Integration of our data with the wider literature isolated 10 core sites in proximity to existing protected areas, which could potentially protect 64% of the Zakynthos population, while five sites support individuals from at least 10 other loggerhead breeding populations. Main conclusions. Due to the widespread availability of neritic foraging grounds across the Mediterranean, sea turtles from Zakynthos exhibit disparate dispersal patterns. However, protecting only a few objectively defined important sites can encompass a large proportion of the foraging areas used and hence have considerable conservation benefit.Diversity and Distributions 01/2013; · 6.12 Impact Factor
Article: Unraveling the lipolytic activity of thermophilic bacteria isolated from a volcanic environment.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In a bioprospecting effort towards novel thermostable lipases, we assessed the lipolytic profile of 101 bacterial strains isolated from the volcanic area of Santorini, Aegean Sea, Greece. Screening of lipase activity was performed both in agar plates and liquid cultures using olive oil as carbon source. Significant differences were observed between the two screening methods with no clear correlation between them. While the percentage of lipase producing strains identified in agar plates was only 17%, lipolytic activity in liquid culture supernatants was detected for 74% of them. Nine strains exhibiting elevated extracellular lipase activities were selected for lipase production and biochemical characterization. The majority of lipase producers revealed high phylogenetic similarity with Geobacillus species and related genera, whilst one of them was identified as Aneurinibacillus sp. Lipase biosynthesis strongly depended on the carbon source that supplemented the culture medium. Olive oil induced lipase production in all strains, but maximum enzyme yields for some of the strains were also obtained with Tween-80, mineral oil, and glycerol. Partially purified lipases revealed optimal activity at 70-80°C and pH 8-9. Extensive thermal stability studies revealed marked thermostability for the majority of the lipases as well as a two-step thermal deactivation pattern.BioMed research international. 01/2013; 2013:703130.
Article: Phenotypic and Molecular Biological Characterization of Cyanobacteria from Marble Surfaces of Treated and Untreated Sites of Propylaea (Acropolis, Athens)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cyanobacteria cause aesthetic damage to marble surfaces and in particular their endolithic mode of life contributes to the breakdown of rock crystalline structures. The aim of this work was to estimate, with both phenotypical and molecular approach, the composition of cyanobacterial communities on the Propylaea marbles of the Acropolis Monuments. The two selected sampling sites were treated and untreated with a commercial biocide in order to estimate its effect on the cyanobacterial diversity. Our study revealed that in both sampling sites were present 13 phenotypes and 10 phylotypes and that the cyanobacterial taxa were considerably lower in the treated site.Geomicrobiology 01/2013; 30(4):371-378. · 1.61 Impact Factor
Article: Streptomyces rochei ACTA1551, an Indigenous Greek Isolate Studied as a Potential Biocontrol Agent against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Many studies have shown that several Greek ecosystems inhabit very interesting bacteria with biotechnological properties. Therefore Streptomyces isolates from diverse Greek habitats were selected for their antifungal activity against the common phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum. The isolate encoded ACTA1551, member of Streptomyces genus, could strongly suppress the fungal growth when examined in antagonistic bioassays in vitro. The isolate was found phylogenetically relative to Streptomyces rochei after analyzing its 16S rDNA sequence. The influence of different environmental conditions, such as medium composition, temperature, and pH on the expression of the antifungal activity was thoroughly examined. Streptomyces rochei ACTA1551 was able to protect tomato seeds from F. oxysporum infection in vivo while it was shown to promote the growth of tomato plants when the pathogen was absent. In an initial effort towards the elucidation of the biochemical and physiological nature of ACTA1551 antifungal activity, extracts from solid streptomycete cultures under antagonistic or/and not antagonistic conditions were concentrated and fractionated. The metabolites involved in the antagonistic action of the isolate showed to be more than one and produced independently of the presence of the pathogen. The above observations could support the application of Streptomyces rochei ACTA1551 as biocontrol agent against F. oxysporum.BioMed research international. 01/2013; 2013:387230.

ABSTRACT: Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide that is widely used as stabilizer and thickener with many industrial applications in food industry. Our aim was to estimate the ability of Xanthomonas campestris ATCC 13951 for the production of xanthan gum by using whey as a growth medium, a by-product of dairy industry. X. campestris ATCC 13951 has been studied in batch cultures using a complex medium for the determination of the optimal concentration of glucose, galactose and lactose. In addition, whey was used under various treatment procedures (de-proteinated, partially hydrolyzed by β-lactamase and partially hydrolyzed and de-proteinated) as culture medium, to study the production of xanthan in a 2 l bioreactor with constant stirring and aeration. A production of 28 g/l was obtained when partially hydrolysed β-lactamase was used, which proved to be one of the highest xanthan gum production reported so far. At the same time, an effort has been made for the control and selection of the most appropriate procedure for the preservation of the strain and its use as inoculant in batch cultures, without loss of its viability and its capability of xanthan gum production. The pre-treatment of whey (whey permeate medium hydrolyzed, WPH) was very important for the production of xanthan by the strain X. campestris ATCC 13951 during batch culture conditions in a 2 l bioreactor. Preservation methods such as lyophilization, cryopreservation at various glycerol solution and temperatures have been examined. The results indicated that the best preservation method for the producing strain X. campestris ATCC 13951 was the lyophilization. Taking into account that whey permeate is a low cost by-product of the dairy industry, the production of xanthan achieved under the studied conditions was considered very promising for industrial application.World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology (Formerly MIRCEN Journal of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology) 08/2012; 28(8):2759-64. · 1.35 Impact Factor
Article: Assessment of the biomass hydrolysis potential in bacterial isolates from a volcanic environment: biosynthesis of the corresponding activities.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The biomass degrading enzymatic potential of 101 thermophilic bacterial strains isolated from a volcanic environment (Santorini, Aegean Sea, Greece) was assessed. 80 % of the strains showed xylanolytic activity in Congo Red plates, while only eight could simultaneously hydrolyze cellulose. Fifteen isolates were selected on the basis of their increased enzyme production, the majority of which was identified as Geobacilli through 16S rDNA analysis. In addition, the enzymatic profile was evaluated in liquid cultures using various carbon sources, a procedure that revealed lack of correlation on xylanase levels between the two cultivation modes and the inability of solid CMC cultures to fully unravel the cellulose degrading potential of the isolates. Strain SP24, showing more than 99 % 16S DNA similarity with Geobacillus sp. was further studied for its unique ability to simultaneously exhibit cellulase, xylanase, β-glucosidase and β-xylosidase activities. The first two enzymes were produced mainly extracellularly, while the β-glycosidic activities were primarily detected in the cytosol. Maximum enzyme production by this strain was attained using a combination of wheat bran and xylan in the growth medium. Bioreactor cultures showed that aeration was necessary for both enhanced growth and enzyme production. Aeration had a strong positive effect on cellulase production while it negatively affected expression of β-glucosidase. Xylanase and β-xylosidase production was practically unaffected by aeration levels.World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology (Formerly MIRCEN Journal of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology) 06/2012; 28(9):2889-902. · 1.35 Impact Factor
Article: Protein increase and lysine production by a Paecilomyces variotii strain grown on two-phase olive mill waste.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Two-phase olive-mill waste, the so-called "ecological", has been treated with a Paecilomyces variotii isolate in solid state fermentation experiments. The growth of the microorganism was estimated by measuring the production of carbon dioxide, using gas chromatography. A 46% increase of the protein content was achieved at the fermented product, after molasses addition at the initial mixture. The amino acid profile of the produced protein, as far as the essential amino acids are concerned, was significantly improved, resulting in a product that has the potential to be used as animal feed. Furthermore, it contains lysine, one of the essential amino acids that did not exist at the original product and is produced during fermentation. This is the first report on solid state fermentation of the two-phase olive mill waste (TPOMW) as a substrate, using a Paecilomyces variotii strain.World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology (Formerly MIRCEN Journal of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology) 03/2012; 28(3):849-56. · 1.35 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: We report on the sequence type and beta-lactamase content of 174 carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates recovered from clinical specimens during 2010 and 2011 in a tertiary care hospital in central Greece. Carbapenem resistance was associated mainly with carriage of the bla(OXA-23) gene (in 72.4% of the isolates). To our knowledge, this is the first description of A. baumannii strains producing OXA-23 in Greece. During 2011, in our hospital they rapidly 'replaced' the previously predominant OXA-58- positive A. baumannii strains.Euro surveillance: bulletin europeen sur les maladies transmissibles = European communicable disease bulletin 01/2012; 17(11). · 5.49 Impact Factor
Article: SAFE Software and FED Database to Uncover Protein-Protein Interactions using Gene Fusion Analysis.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Domain Fusion Analysis takes advantage of the fact that certain proteins in a given proteome A, are found to have statistically significant similarity with two separate proteins in another proteome B. In other words, the result of a fusion event between two separate proteins in proteome B is a specific full-length protein in proteome A. In such a case, it can be safely concluded that the protein pair has a common biological function or even interacts physically. In this paper, we present the Fusion Events Database (FED), a database for the maintenance and retrieval of fusion data both in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms and the Software for the Analysis of Fusion Events (SAFE), a computational platform implemented for the automated detection, filtering and visualization of fusion events (both available at: http://www.bioacademy.gr/bioinformatics/projects/ProteinFusion/index.htm). Finally, we analyze the proteomes of three microorganisms using these tools in order to demonstrate their functionality.Evolutionary bioinformatics online 01/2012; 8:47-60. · 1.33 Impact Factor
Article: Variability of prokaryotic community structure in a drinking water reservoir (Marathonas, Greece).[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The structure of the Bacteria and Archaea community in a large drinking water reservoir (Marathonas, Greece; MR) was investigated in October 2007 and September 2008, using 16S rRNA gene clone libraries. The bacterial communities were more diverse than archaeal communities (Shannon diversity index H' 0.81-3.28 and 1.36-1.77, respectively). The overall bacterial community composition was comparable to bacterioplankton community described in other freshwater habitats. Within the Bacteria, Betaproteobacteria dominated, while representatives of Alpha-, Gamma- and Deltaproteobacteria also occurred. Other important phyla were Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes, while representatives of Acidobacteria, Cyanobacteria, Chloroflexi, Planctomycetes and Verrucomicrobia were also retrieved. Several phylotypes in Alpha- and Betaproteobacteria and Bacteroidetes were related to bacteria capable of cyanotoxin degradation and with aromatic compounds/iron oxidizers or polymer degraders. Euryarchaeota dominated (60.5%) the Archaea community mostly with phylotypes related to Methanobacteriales and Methanosarcinales. Among the Thaumarchaeota, the two most abundant phylotypes were affiliated (97% similarity) with the only cultivated mesophilic thaumarchaeote of marine origin, Nitrosopumilus maritimus. Temporal and spatial comparison of the prokaryotic community structure revealed that three of the most abundant prokaryotic phylotypes, belonging to Actinobacteria, were recovered from all sites both years, suggesting that these Actinobacteria could be important key players in MR ecosystem functioning.Microbes and Environments 10/2011; 27(1):1-8. · 2.44 Impact Factor
Article: Homologous overexpression of xylanase in Fusarium oxysporum increases ethanol productivity during consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) of lignocellulosics.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In an effort to increase ethanol productivity during the consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) of lignocellulosics by Fusarium oxysporum, we attempted the constitutive homologous overexpression of one of the key process enzymes, namely an endo-xylanase. The endo-β-1,4-xylanase 2 gene was incorporated into the F. oxysporum genome under the regulation of the gpdA promoter of Aspergillus nidulans. The transformation was effected through Agrobacterium tumefaciens and resulted in 12 transformants, two of which were selected for further study due to their high extracellular xylanase activities under normally repressing conditions (glucose as sole carbon source). During natural induction conditions (growth on xylan) though, the extracellular enzyme levels of the transformants were only marginally higher (5-10%) compared to the wild type despite the significantly stronger xylanase 2 mRNA signals. SDS-PAGE verified enzyme assay results that there was no intracellular xylanase 2 accumulation in the transformants, suggesting the potential regulation in a post transcriptional or translational level. The fermentative performance of the transformants was evaluated and compared to that of the wild type in simple CBP systems using either corn cob or wheat bran as sole carbon sources. Both transformants produced approximately 60% more ethanol compared to the wild type on corn cob, while for wheat bran this picture was repeated for only one of them. This result is attributed to the high extracellular xylanase activities in the transformants' fermentation broths that were maintained 2-2.5-fold higher compared to the wild type.Journal of Biotechnology 01/2011; 152(1-2):16-23. · 3.18 Impact Factor
Article: Selective isolation of indigenous Pseudomonas syringae strains with ice nucleation activity properties from a ski resort[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Four sampling sites were selected in the area of Velouhi mountain, Greece in order to screen for Pseudomonas syringae isolates with high ice nucleation activity from a ski resort environment. Bacterial isolates (n=147) were obtained from soil and phyllosphere samples. Seven isolates exhibited morphological, biochemical and physiological profile similar to P. syringae. Phylogenetic relationships of the seven isolates were determined by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Two isolates were phylogenetically affiliated to P. syringae, three to P. viridiflava, one to P. avellanae, and one Pseudomonas strain could not be assigned to a known species. The seven isolates were examined for their ice-nucleation activity properties. Three out of the seven studied isolates exhibited ice nucleation activity from –4.67 to –4.35 ice nuclei per cell, values similar to those obtained from a known ice-nucleation protein producer P. syringae strain and therefore could be used for the production of artificial snow in ski resort areas with short snow periods.Journal of Biological Research. 01/2011; 15:67-73.

Chavez & Obama: Hard to tell the difference<quoted text>
You need to figure out what is going on and look at the whole picture and not just a frame of it.
Everyone always has a problem with the president whether he is dem or repub. Black or white for when it comes down to it he is just the fall guy to Congress. We have double term limits on the president 4 years term, 2 terms max. So we change them quite often and not much if anything else really changes regardless of the party or term. But during all this time we keep the same Congress for 15-20-25+ years throughout while changing the presidents every 4-8 years and we never see change but we only blame one man,,, the fall guy, the President. Get wise people and see the big picture as a whole and not just one little frame of it. If we ran the USA as a company and the President was the CEO he could not do as he wanted and change things as he wanted unless the board members (congress) want/push him do it and/or agree. And after he does it, if it is right he and congress take the credit and if it is wrong he is the only one blamed.

4 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all interviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty

Finance Manager Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at DaVita in June 2014.
Very professional recruiter, but hiring managers gave no feedback after the interview other than there were more qualified candidates. If that was the case, why bring me in for an interview in the first place?
- They sent me a business case to analyze the day before my interview, but then asked me to do another one during the interview, which was awkward. Answer Question

Finance Manager InterviewApplication Details
I applied online. The process took a day – interviewed at DaVita.Interview Details
Company had two phone screen interviews followed by an on site interview with all members of the team. Questions on the phone were all fit and your resume probably does most of the work initially. On site, there is a 50-50 mix of math and fit. I got the impression they test where you might be the weakest. Meaning, if you have prior experience in one area they will probably test something else. These interviews are closely comparable to investment banking or management consulting interviews. Be prepared to deal with case study math done on pencil and paper.Interview Questions

Finance Manager InterviewApplication Details
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks – interviewed at DaVita in December 2011.Interview Details
The interview process was fairly standard. Had a phone screener with a recruiter. Then spoke to the Hiring Manager via telephone. He asked some technical questions, fit (what do you know about the company, why do want to work here, likes/ dislikes, working style questions). This was followed by a day of in person panel interviews and lunch. its a community environment and they really want to make sure that you'll work well with all of your constintuents. the questions were behavioral based, there was a case study and the really wanted to know what you knew about the company and why you want to work thereInterview Questions

The interview process was rather smoothed. I had a telephone interview with HR and then with the Hiring Manager. I was subsequently invited to the office for a day of interviews consisting of two panel sessions (3 senior execs in each). Everyone was really nice but it wasn't a good fit.

We all love Christmas jumpers.
Every year me and the children have to have a new novelty Jumper. Something festive, something fun, something to celebrate Christmas. Not yet convinced the hubby to wear one, but all the rest of us love them.
My 2nd eldest son was first off the mark this year, as he had a jumper delivered last week. Getting ready for December and 'Christmas jumper Friday'.
Last year I was sorting all the children out and forgot to buy the fun and cheery one I loved until the middle of December. Great my favourite jumper had sold out !! the only ones I could find were two sizes too small or two sizes too big!! In the end I went for the larger sized one..( It made me look thin when I took it off!) Remember this one?
When New Look offered to gift me my favourite Christmas jumper I was over the moon, a chance to get my hand on a jumper I love nice and early.
With only one small question, which style to go for!?!
With only one small question, which style to go for!?!
How sweet is this one!?!
With the lovely Santa on it ..
- Sequin Santa design
- Breathable woven fabric
- Simple long sleeves
- Rounded neck
- Casual fit
- Cuffed hem
- £24.99
11 Top Tips On Buying And Wearing The Perfect Christmas Jumper...
- Buy nice and early!?! November is perfect. Before your favourite designs or sizes sell out!
- Have a spare morning visiting the shops. Take a good look at all your favourite shops and see which styles, colour, pattern you like.
- Not got time to shop? Open up all new windows of your favourite shops on the internet, type in the search box 'Christmas jumper' and the page will show you all the Christmas jumpers they sell.
- Think of what colour jeans/trouser/leggings/skirts you already own so you can match your jumper up to.
- Search Christmas jumpers on Google and see what jumpers people have been wearing, with which style bottoms.
- Think of where you will be wearing it to get an idea of how to dress it up. Party's? Home? Work?School? Shopping? Days out? Walk in the park? Pub? Cinema? Meal out?
- Which pattern and style will you really like to wear all December? Santa? Animals? Snowflakes? Christmas trees? Christmas pudding? Rudolph? Snowman? Tree lights? Penguin? Advent? Elf? Gingerbread man? Holly? just to name a few ideas, lol...
- Wear it as early as you like. Make it look like a different outfit by styling it with different clothes~ jeans, legging, skirts ...Get the most wear out of it this year before January when it will be time to pack it away for next year.
- Do not get carried away! It is so easy to buy lots.. they are so sweet. {If I had money, I would buy them all}...
- Have fun and enjoy wearing it, this is what they are all about...
- Have a 'Christmas jumper Friday' at home throughout December, invite friends round, make mince pies and drink Sherry!...Yummy, now this sounds great... Cheers...
About this post~
I was gifted a Christmas jumper of my choice from New Look. All thoughts are my own opinion and I was not paid for this post...
What do you think of my new jumper?

National Basketball Association officials have summoned forward Latrell Sprewell of the Knicks to a meeting tomorrow in Manhattan to discuss possible tampering charges stemming from his recent comments regarding Chris Webber, Sacramento's All-Star forward.
Sprewell, a friend of Webber's, has spoken openly in the past month about the two players' desire to play together. Webber will be a free agent next summer, and Sprewell has said they are working on getting him to New York. While the comments might seem innocent, the N.B.A. decided last week to investigate. The inquiry is believed to have been sparked by a complaint filed by the Kings, who hope to re-sign Webber.
''In each player's contract it stipulates that you are not to attempt to entice players who are under contract to other teams to join your team,'' said Russ Granik, the league's deputy commissioner. ''So it's clearly against the rules. We understand that sometimes there are discussions about who you would like to have on your team and who you think is a good player, and we're not trying to discourage that. But it can cross over the line.''
Tomorrow's meeting is a step toward determining whether Sprewell crossed the line. If Sprewell is found to have done so, he can be suspended and/or fined up to $35,000.

1. Heel-Toe Length - Stand with one foot on a piece of paper and measure your heel-toe length.
Mark the paper at the end of your heel bone. Mark the paper at the end of your longest toe. Measure the distance between these two points. Repeat this process for the other foot. If one foot is slightly larger than the other, use the larger measurement to determine your foot size.

Come Thursday morning it will be about winning the first session, says Swann
The officials from the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) make you feel at home. Cricket is priority at Jamtha, on the outskirts of this growing city. Stray cows outside the airport might rekindle memories from the past but the stadium is a reminder that life has moved on.
Modernisation appears pronounced as you drive to this excellent cricket venue which promises to set up a fierce contest from Thursday. India must win to square the series.
The curator, former Vidarbha all-rounder Praveen Hingnikar, has been gagged by the Board. No, he would reveal nothing. He would officially speak on the fifth day. So, we assume it would last that long. So much for modernisation of cricket in India!
At many grounds overseas, the curator provides all technical details connected with the pitch preparation, from clay content and bounce to its likely behaviour.
Here, however, things are always different. Basic information is sacrosanct; just can't be divulged, even if it is basic. If only the team realised the importance of culling the basics and making the most of it.
Normally a good pitch
The pitch here is normally a good one. There is bounce and that ensures good cricket. England off-spinner Graeme Swann, with those sensational dismissals of Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar in the last Test, was so realistic when asked about the pitch.
"It doesn't matter what you believe. The pitch is going to be the pitch whatever happens on Thursday morning. I am sure the management and coach will look at it and they will assess it. We play on it whatever comes on," was his measured response.
But the playing surface remains a point of interest for both camps. The surface is dry but reflects cracks beneath. The bounce should give the bowlers an advantage even though it is just the pitch that would thrill stroke-players like Virat Kohli, Sehwag and Tendulkar, who like the ball to come on to the bat.
Tendulkar made a quick dash to the middle, practiced his routine shadow play on the pitch, and must have drawn his battle plans. Mahendra Singh Dhoni later took a tour of the pitch along with Hingnikar.
Ishant's practises hard
Ishant Sharma spent time with the bowling coach, working on his in-swinger and length ball. The fast bowlers has strayed wildly, and landed short, and was punished for his errors. It is time Ishant delivered, especially after winning the faith of the selectors.
Swann spoke of dominating the first session. "Whatever the pitch is, we have to try and win the game. So come Thursday morning it will be about winning the first session, something which we have managed to do in the last two Test matches and it is why we have gone on to win the match.
"We have really tried to embrace India and embrace the series. We believe we can win it and I am not sure that has always been the case. It may have been.
"I have only been on one Test tour before but there certainly seems to be more belief in this group right from the outset."
The England off-spinner put things in perspective. "What I said at the start of the tour is that if you expect just the spinners to win the game for you, you are doomed. And I stand by it completely because it is a team effort.
Monumental performances
"Without the monumental performances of (Alastair) Cook, (Kevin) Pietersen and (Jonathan) Trott (in the last game) we would not have been 2-1 up." The emphasis clearly is on a collective assault.
There was nothing wrong in the home captain demanding a pitch of his choice, according to Swann. "It is not strange for a home team to ask for a wicket to suit their team. We do that in England because we want it to suit our bowlers.
"Kolkata was a very good Test pitch and did very little for the spinners or the pacers on the first two days and gradually broke as the game went on. It was turning quite nicely by the end. Kolkata produced an exceptional Test pitch."
India also believes it can win but has not been able to identify the flaws and plug them in time.
Belief is what the Indians have lacked immensely, losing the contest in the dressing room itself. The stint that Ishant had on Tuesday was an indication of the desperation that the team is experiencing.
Virat concentrated on leaving the deliveries more than play them straight at nets.
Inspiring tale
The one-armed Gurudas Raut, a 25-year-old seamer, at the India nets attracted the attention of many. Handicapped at birth, he has chased his dream to play cricket. He impressed Kohli, Dhoni and Sehwag when he bowled to them during the World Cup nets here.
"I bowled Dhoni with an inswing," Raut remembered with pride. His spirit is an epic tale of inspiration. The Indian team would do well to borrow some of it for their fight at Jamtha.

The death of legendary CBS news anchor Walter Cronkite on Friday hit close to home for students and professors at Arizona State University's journalism school, which was named in honor of "the most trusted man in America."
MARK SCARP: How Cronkite name came to ASU
SLIDESHOW: News legend remembered
Tribute: ASU Cronkite School offers page for remembrances
Cronkite died at age 92 at his home in New York with his family by his side after a long illness, said his longtime chief of staff, Marlene Adler. She said the cause of death was cerebral vascular disease.
Cronkite became a staple in American homes from 1962 to 1981, when stories ranged from the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to racial and anti-war riots, Watergate and the Iranian hostage crisis.
ASU's journalism school was named in his honor in 1984 after the owner of the CBS affiliate in Phoenix contacted Cronkite to help the program.
"He put ASU journalism on the map," Cronkite school Dean Christopher Callahan said. "One of the things we tell students is if you can meet the values of Walter Cronkite-style journalism — accuracy, objectivity, fairness and thoroughness in your reporting — you're going to be pretty great."
Cronkite was very much "Uncle Walter" to students at the school, which he visited at least once a year until recently to present the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism to successful and prominent members of the news media.
After the awards ceremony, students would crowd around Cronkite, who always obliged by signing autographs and shaking their hands.
"You'd see his eyes just light up when he talked to them about journalism past, present and future," Callahan said of the last time the Cronkite met with students. "He looked at them and said, 'You people are the most important things in my life,' and I really believe he felt one of his greatest legacies was not only the Cronkite school, but Cronkite students."
Callahan said the journalism school will host a celebration of Cronkite's life in about a month. He invited students in an e-mail to go the school's downtown Phoenix campus on Friday to watch tribute videos of Cronkite.
Leigh Munsil, who will be the editor of ASU's student newspaper The State Press in the fall, said she was saddened to hear the news of Cronkite's death.
"He's the face of journalism for a lot of people," said Munsil, a senior. "I got to hear him speak once ... It was very inspiring. We look at people like that, and that's what we all aspire to be."

Financial Careers: Finance Employers
By Brian Perry While there are many different types of entities that higher finance employees, this tutorial will primarily focus upon some of the most common types of institutions where finance jobs can be found. In this chapter, we will look at a broad outline of common finance firms; later, we will examine some of these in more detail as we discuss specific roles in the finance industry.
Investment Banks
Investment banks usually specialize in giving strategic advice to corporations, providing financing to companies, governments, and other large institutions, and in buying and selling stocks, bonds, and other securities. Common jobs found at investment banks include investment bankers, security salespeople and traders.
Commercial Banks
Commercial banks usually specialize in taking deposits from individuals and making loans to corporations, individuals, and governments. Many large commercial banks also engage in traditional investment banking endeavors such as capital raising and trading. Common roles at a commercial bank include loan officer or bank teller, as well as investment bankers, security salespeople, and traders. Note: the lines between investment banks and commercial banks have blurred over the years and there are very few "pure" investment banks or commercial banks. In practice, most firms considered "investment banks" are either commercial banks from a regulatory standpoint or operate as a division of a large commercial bank.
Money Management Firms
Money management firms usually specialize in managing investments for individuals or institutions. Very large firms might manage a wide variety of asset classes while smaller boutique firms might focus on a particular market niche, such as small-cap stocks or high-yield bonds. Common roles at a money management firm include portfolio manager or security analyst.
Hedge Funds
Hedge funds are similar to money management firms in that they also manage money for institutions and wealthy individuals. However, they are often known for taking more risk than some "traditional" money management firms and are generally more focused upon providing very high returns. Hedge funds sometimes have a broader mandate than traditional money management firms and have fewer restrictions on how they can invest. Common roles at hedge funds include portfolio manager or security analyst.
Private Equity Firms
Private equity firms usually manage money for institutions and wealthy individuals. While hedge funds and money management firms usually buy and sell public securities, private equity firms usually purchase entire corporations. When a private equity firm purchases a public company, it "takes it private," which gives the industry its name. Private equity firms usually attempt to profit either by improving the operations of the companies they purchase or by using financial engineering to increase the return on owners' equity. Eventually the private equity firm seeks to either resell the companies they own or take them public again in order to make a profit for themselves and their investors. Most employees at private equity firms are investment bankers, and their functions can include analyzing potential purchases, negotiating deals, raising financing, or attempting to improve portfolio companies' operations and profitability. (To learn more, see What Is Private Equity?)
Real Estate Firms
Real estate firms attempt to either develop new real estate projects or purchase existing projects in an effort to better manage them and increase the returns. Common finance jobs at a real estate firm include financing specialist, analyst or deal manager. Note: many leading private equity firms also invest in real estate.
"Real Money"
Real money institutional investors invest money for an entity such as a pension fund, sovereign wealth fund, or insurance company in an effort to generate returns over time that will allow the organization to meet its financial goals. Common roles at "real money" firms include investment analyst, portfolio manager or trader.
In subsequent chapters this tutorial will examine common finance jobs and what they entail. By combining the type of job you want with the type of organization you want to work for, you will be well on your way to the finance career you are looking for.

Early game got nerfed -hard-
I consider it a nerf because my beef with Morde was never about his shield or damage but rather if he got someone with his ult then a tower was going down or a team fight was going to the other team. Didn't matter how much damage he did, if he got that curse off then the other team was screwed and either gave a tower and died. I like the change.
I'm on the fence with the changes. Some of the changes I like, some I don't. The Ult change is nice, the SoD I'm not a 100% sure of, MoS seems like an interesting change, and I'm a fan of the CD buff.
I can't really give an opinion till post-patch.
...Do people really think this was a buff, or are they just glad that their most hated champ is getting nerfed? I can't see how it was a buff at all, except his Creeping Death. His two main abilities got completely destroyed. His most worthless one got a buff, and his decent one got a buff. Everything else, nerfed. AP was already completely 100% worthless on him, now they made it just bad. Its a buff in the nerfiest way possible because it was used an excuse to nerf everything actually useful about him. I guess it just depends on your playstyle.
Okay lets do some math.
Old Q+W+E combo damage
1 target: 100*2+AD+80*6+245=925+AD
More than 1 target up to four: (100+AD)*X+480X+245X=825X+AD*X
New Q+W+E combo
1 Target 200*1,75+(AD-BASE AD)+480+225=1055+BONUS AD
More than 1 target up to four: (200+BONUS AD)*X+480X+225X=905X+BONUS AD*X
X is targets hit
Now let's see the difference that will always be between BONUS AD and AD. It's the BASE AD which is 115 so we can put it basically like this
Single target New(1055) OLD(925+BASE AD=925+115=1040)
Multi target New(905X) OLD(825X+BASE AD*X=825X+115X=940X)
Oh yay more damage against single target but less against more targets.
Now the AP differences.
New 0,2+0,6=0,8
Old 0,15+0,4=0,55
Difference 0,25
Multi target difference of damage 940X-905X=35X
Now since the amount of targets hit doesnt matter since the AP also has that same coefficient so we can put it as 35. Now the AP difference has to be 35 damage in order for you have same damage so...
So basically you need 140 AP just to deal same amount of damage you would have dealt against more than 1 target
after 700+ games with The Master Of Metal; 450% NERF is my knee jerk as a solo mid morde. People who lane 2v2 with Morde should not be considered people for the sake of my argument with the exception that hiding in a bush and popping out to SoD is no longer a particularly viable option... wait that's all that lane Morde had!!!
a weakened early game syphon means ashe, and other similar mids, are going to kill me because she no longer fears my harass.
Building AP items decreases Mordes survivability dramatically because, 100% of Morde players will probably agree with me, Morde is not like Alistar (whereas he IS a tank) because Morde must BUILD to become a tank. Mordes tanky reputation is built solely upon his mid-late game performance.
With the focus shield generation now shifted towards MoS it is a HUGE hit to his lvl 1 survivability, where one or two simple oversteps or imperfect shots with syphon already spelled your almost certain first blood status against a good mid player or 2v1 lane.
This may be a "buff" to AD/DPS Morde... but that isn't really viable anyways.
I feel fairly uncomfortable stepping into mid w/o a few practice games under my belt to see how much this hurt is going to hurt, and make no mistake about it ladies and gents, this NERF on Mordekaiser's main ability is going to hurt a lot.
I don't even want to think about what was done to his ult. Too depressed.
Its neither.
Its a general shifting of his kit to make him more damage oriented instead of tanky.
So what I'm seeing the "nerf" side has provide some mathcraft, some explanation, while the "buff" side only provide the votes.
This pattern seems similar.....
it looks more buff 2 me then nerf. Oh god his gonna be even more annoying then ever.
To me, it looks like a clear and major nerf. Mordekaiser was fun when he wasn't overrated. RIP Morde and the shell of a ghost you now carry along with you. I wonder who will be next, I see a lot of Tryndamere complaints in champ feedback...

The mother of a mentally handicapped child is forced to realize that she must allow the child to live with foster parents. watch
Question: I was wondering who was the first female host of Good Morning America. I say Joan Lunden. Actually, I bet my sister a gift certificate that it was. Who's right? While you're at it, when did it first come on? Thank you, sir.Answer: You're quite welcome, ma'am, but you'll still be buying sis that certificate.
There were two female cohosts paired off with original host David Hartman before Lunden. When Good Morning America launched in November 1975, actress Nancy Dussault shared the set with him. After a year, she departed and Sandy Hill was brought in. But Hill, who had worked as a reporter, wasn't happy being tied to the set and, according to rumors, wasn't exactly best friends with Hartman, who was credited with allowing ABC to mount its first serious challenge to the morning dominance of NBC's read more

Heads of two government high schools, both members of a team constituted by the Deputy Director of Public Instruction (DDPI), Bangalore South, were caught on Friday by the Lokayukta police with the bribe they had allegedly collected from teachers of an aided school.
Ramadevi, headmistress, Government High School, Tippagondanahalli, and Prakash, headmaster, Government High School, Cholanayakanahalli, have been arrested.
They were nominated by the DDPI to verify fee records of the aided school and work out the percentage of free seats available under the Right to Education (RTE) Act quota.
A press release from the Additional Director-General of Police, Karnataka Lokayukta, said V. AniI Kumar, police inspector, City Division, Karnataka Lokayukta, received information that the two, who were inspecting Vasavi Vidyaniketana High School, Basavanagudi, demanded Rs. 750 each as bribe from all the 17 teachers in the school to give a favourable report about the institution.
On Thursday, a complaint was registered with the Lokayukta police.
On Friday, a search was conducted by the Lokayukta police during which an envelope containing Rs. 1,000 was found in possession of the two accused. A sum of Rs. 10,750 was found in possession of Sridevi, vice-principal of the school. The police seized the cash and arrested Ms. Ramadevi and Mr. Prakash.
Reacting to the incident, Kumar G. Nayak, Secretary, Primary and Secondary Education, said, "The inspection is necessary to verify the book of accounts and arrive at the number of free seats. What we need to do now is make this process more transparent."
About the possible steps the government can take to tackle such cases, he said information collected by the teams could be uploaded on the website. "We also require the schools to come out with the facts and figures. They need not pay heed to such overtures," he added.

I am in Western Mass and want to purchase a Honzo. This might sound like a weird request but I want to meet someone with a Honzo so I could just sit on it and get a feel for it. I want to buy one and the only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger is the fact that my LBS doesnt give me a guarantee that I could replace the bike with a different size if it doesnt feel right. I understand you can look at the geometry but I like my bikes smaller and more nimble so I want to just sit on different frame sizes and see how i feel on each. So if anyone has a honzo PLEASE let me know. I promise im not creepy. Just want to make sure i get the right size
