More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Meeting and Exceeding Clients and Regulators' Expectations Although it can be difficult, there are ways for RIAs to meet or exceed client expectations, increase customer satisfaction, and help firms retain current clients and attract new ones.
- Dealings With Qualified Clients and Accredited Investors Depending upon an RIAs business model and investment strategies, it may be important to identify "qualified clients" and "accredited investors." The Dodd-Frank Act authorized the SEC to change which clients are defined by those terms.
European Union officials could include in their draft bank capital law measures to limit banker pay, setting in place a specified limit between the highest and lowest paid, as well as instituting a limit on bonuses.
Bloomberg reported that support seems to be strong for limits to be introduced on how much bankers are paid, and for EU officials to include such limits in the draft law on bank capital that is set to take effect on Jan. 1, 2013.
The draft was introduced last year by Michel Barnier, the EU's financial services chief, to put in place changes to bank rules agreed on by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. Barnier has already said that he is considering proposing extra rules on bonuses in response to payouts that go against "all reason, common sense and morality," but a number of officials want faster action–hence, the possibility of inclusion of such rules in the draft law.
Socialist and Green party members of the European Parliament have suggested that the bank capital law should also include pay limits and tighter controls on risk-taking. Udo Bullmann, a German lawmaker who has been tracking the proposed law for the Socialist members, was quoted saying, "Wrong incentives were part of the banking culture that caused the crisis. I expect there will be quite a lot of sympathy among different party groups" for tighter pay restrictions.
Bullmann and Philippe Lamberts, a Belgian lawmaker tracking the law for the Greens in the European Parliament, will ask for a maximum ratio between highest and lowest paid bank personnel. Lamberts had said in an interview that lawmakers "have been adamant" that additional limits on pay are necessary.
Sylvie Watts, a lawyer at Allen & Overy LLP in the U.K., was quoted saying, "It is hard to see how imposing a maximum ratio would work in practice, particularly as so much of bank remuneration is performance linked." However, perhaps not everyone would be unhappy with the move; Watts added that the measure "could also have the effect of increasing the overall pay levels at the lower end of the pay scale."

Holly Village Council recall, Michigan (2014)
An effort to recall council members Ryan Bladzik, Chris Rankin, George Kullis, and Debra Musgrave in Holly, Michigan from their positions was launched in March 2014.[1]
Recall proponent arguments
Recall proponents oppose the council's decision to contract with the Oakland County Sheriff's Office for public safety dispatch services. As as a result of this agreement, the community's local dispatch service will be terminated and all dispatch equipment will be disposed of.[1]
Path to the ballot
- See also: Laws governing recall in Michigan
Initial paperwork was filed against the four council members on March 27, 2014. A clarity hearing on the petition language was held on April 16, 2014 with the Oakland County Board of Election Commissioners. If the language was approved, petitioners would need to collect 207 signatures by mid-May 2014 in order to trigger a recall election. In the event that enough valid signatures are collected, a recall election would be scheduled for August 5, 2014.[1]
Because the terms of office for Rankin and Kullis expire in November 2014, they cannot be recalled. According to state law, only Bladzik and Musgrave are eligible to be recalled.[1]

I dont think that anyone has the answer for you !!! However, making a sharp angle from the mast to the gunnel and then overboard probably wont work as lightening seems to prefer to take a straight path. It would probably be more prudent to attach the wire from your backstay and drag it in the water -- but I dont think anyone has an absolute answer because as you state this may enhance a strike. The last ''hit'' I took came down the mast/antenna wire jumped through wire in the bilge and blew into the encapsulated keel with a ''starburst'' out the side (small leakage). Perhaps a better place to ask this question would be in a general aviation (airplane) message board, and ask those who fly ''plastic'' airplanes as they seem to get ''hit'' more often than boaters. I myself have posed the queston to marine insurance underwriters.... and always get NO answer (for obvious reasons).
As a long time sailor (with 3 hits) I''d like to know what others think or have experienced with lightening protection. My ''hits'' were all when anchored or moored.
I think my preference at this time would be to bond the shrouds to external chainplates hence directly bonded underwater to a keel shoe (on an encapsulated keel) --- but I''m only guessing.

Detroit Pistons Tayshaun Prince, Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton talk on the sidelines after practice. The team was preparing for game two against the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the NBA playoffs, April 21, 2008 at the Piston practice facility.
- Filed Under
The Pistons say they're not shocked that they're down 0-1 against the Sixers. The word Pistons coach Flip Saunders used Monday was upset.
They should be, too. They let a winnable game against a beatable team slip away down the stretch. If they're serious about winning an NBA title this season, the last thing they want is to suffer through a mentally taxing and long first round.
They know that, and that's why sleep was a luxury in short supply Sunday night. ...

In the days of Roch's childhood, winters in the village of Ste. Justine were long. Life centered around school, church, and the hockey rink, and every boy's hero was Montreal Canadiens hockey legend Maurice Richard. Everyone wore Richard's number 9. They laced their skates like Richard. They even wore their hair like Richard. When Roch outgrows his cherished Canadiens sweater, his mother writes away for a new one. Much to Roch's horror, he is sent the blue and white sweater of the rival Toronto Maple Leafs, dreaded and hated foes to his beloved team. How can Roch face the other kids at the rink?

text: PFSW now qualifies for the longest I've ever stayed in on any position. I got in at 1.40 and I'm very excited about the possibility to ride this one all the way up!Early on, it looks like this week could be VERY strong. We shall see. I am feeling very optimistic about the short term and long term potential of this stock. Valuation always wins in the end, and this one is quiet undervalued. Don't be surprised to see 4 dollars in February. I won't guarantee it, but it's a likely possibility. If we do reach four, you won't, imho, see a pullback. This stock should rise very similarly to ITIG in Dec and Jan in the next few months.Good luck all!

hello, congratulations on your birthday and do share a travel story or two :-)
Hope your birthday is filled with all the fun you can handle!
Happy birthday, Vivian! Hope you still enjoy your travels through the Netherlands and Europe! Smile and congratulations from Arnhem, Paul
Hope you had great days in Arnhem and now enjoy Amsterdam to the fullest. Did it work out to have a good time at the National Park, the museums and the Open Air museum? Greetings from Arnhem, Paul
Hi Paul, we had a great time at the National park and spent so much time at the musuem that we had to literally rush the sculptures park and did not do the open air museum. But, it was great fun and thank you once again so much.
Amsterdam was great too and today we have arrived in Brussels. Feeling sad that this trip is about to end.
An information about buses in Arnhem, you can buy a day ticket that allows 2 adults and 3 kids for 14 euros.
Regards, Vivian
Nice to get in contact!

If we get Richards, our first line LW should be Dubinsky
I've heard alot of talk about filling that spot, most of it centered around Jussi Jokinen. But I think we already have a perfectly capable 1LW. Now you could make the argument that Dubi is not a 1st-liner. At best, probably in between 1 and 2. I'd probably agree. But I still think the guy should be Dubinsky. 4 reasons.
1) Let's keep in mind; not every guy on the first line has to be a first line player. I think a good example is Alex Burrows. Standing alone, I wouldn't call him a first line talent. But with elite linemates, he's shown that he can put up first line goal totals. When you've already got two elite pieces, the third one can be a cut below and still put up the numbers. And FWIW, Dubinsky is more skilled than Burrows imo.
2) Going along with the previous point; we've never seen Dubinsky play with elite talent, or at least not since he was a rookie. Let's give him the chance, fully developed, to play with top talent before we relegate him to the second line. With elite linemates, Dubinsky would not draw top defenders and would be getting far better setups. You'd be adding these factors to a guy that can already score 20 goals. I think with first-liners, Dubinsky could possibly hit another level.
3)This is gonna sound odd, but I honestly question the need. Let's see how it would look if everything went reasonably well with no ridiculous injuries; you're looking at close to 30 from Richards, 35-45 from Gaborik, over 20 from Callahan, 15-20 from Anisimov and Stepan, even if he doesn't repeat what he did last year I'd still look for a solid 10-15 from Boyle. Same from Wolski. Odd contributions from Feds and Prust should be another 15-20. 10-15 from the defense at least. At this point, how many goals does Dubinsky really need? At this stage, anything over 20 would put us at top ten in the league.
4)If you can get it done without bringing in anyone new, for the sake of saving the cap space and preserving chemistry, you do it. I think we can pull this off and keep things in order.
Hey im with ya 100% on this one, Duby worked on the first line with Jagr his rookie season and whose to say he wont with a combo of Richards-Gaborik? Im with ya man and also this may open up a spot for hopefully Hagelin or maybe even Thomas to make the team
If we are going for the Cup, we should probably sign a top-6 LW. Even if Dubinsky is a 1LW, who is #2? Wolski?
On the other hand, if we are not going for the Cup immediately, then we can give it time to see what we have with guys like Kreider and Hagelin.
I'm sure we'll see several players mixed and matched during the course of the year. I really liked the Dubinsky-Anisimov-Callahan line from last year, and if all three of them play as well as (or better than) last year, I'd like to see that line stay together.
I'd love nothing more than for Wolski to have his skating improve tenfold this offseason and to become a solid top six player (Wolski-Richards-Gaborik?), but on the flip side, he's also a buyout candidate. Unless we get Jussi Jokinen or someone of the like, Dubinsky is sure to get some top line playing time.
This is all dependent on us signing Richards July 1st. Without Richards, I'd call Duby-AA-Cally our #1 line. I expect big things from all three this season.
i think as our roster is currently constructed, he is the best option for that spot
i'd hate to break up the pack line but it may have to happen
personally, i'd like to see boyle as dubi's replacement on that line. I can see him as poor man's dubinsky, and if he plays like the first half of last year with AA and cally on his line it could be pretty nice
dubi - richards - gabby
boyle - AA - cally
wolski - stepan - mza
feds - avery - prust
i'd at least give it a shot if dubi is infact moved up to the top line
I agree, Duby could be the powerforward on that line. It'll be similar to the Lucic - Savard - Kessel line in Boston a few years ago... except better :D
I have to disagree, we need scoring depth and the Dubinsky-Anisimov-Callahan line was our best line at times last year. If we can leave them together I think they could really blossom.
I'd much rather take a shot with someone else.
I put Wolski on his wing. Keep Dubinsky with AA and Cally and let them build chemistry.
Dubinsky scores a lot of grinding goals, deflections, wraparounds and snap/slapshots. He's not good at all shooting off the pass, and it seems like he's got really tough luck converting gimme chances around the net (wide open nets, posts etc).
Richards isn't a home-run pass kind of guy, so Dubi's speed wont come into play as much. He's like Savard in that he threads the needle in close traffic. I think WW can score 20-25 goals and his wing, and that is just fine.
I have also been putting X winger in the spot to keep the Packline together but I do agree that it is inevitable that Dubinsky, Richards, Gaborik would be the way to go
After that I am not sure what will happen as I see both Anisimov and Stepan as 2nd line Cs. Callahan has played with AA more.
I have Woilski slotted into the 6th F spot but Boyle and Zuke could easily slide into more time on the top two lines
I agree that Dubinsky should be our top line LW. The only issue I have with that is that we have to break up the Pack Line :cry:. I say Dubi as the top line LW, unless we can get an absolute steal in free agency.
I agree with Dubi on the top line LW with Richards and Gaborik.
But for specific reasons.
1- to keep Richards and Gaborik honest. Meaning, provide that balls-to-the-wall energy and physicality.
2- use the physical play and puck posession down low to create space for Richards and Gaborik.
3- provide net presence, screening the goaltender, destracting the defense, getting rebounds.
the line that stuck out last season that will probably stick next year is avery-boyle-prust. it really clicked for us in the playoffs. it will be our 3rd or 4th line depending on the teams we play.
as for who we will put on the 1st line if we were able to get richards... it would most likely be ryan callahan. dubinsky does not have the talent needed to be on that line. callahan doesn't really either but he's got more than dubinsky. it is also a respect thing and if callahan is our next captain (which is most likely) he will likely be placed on the 1st line at least to begin the year.
as for wolski, i think he will be bought out. we have cheaper, home grown prospects, who project to be more of an asset for our team than wolski (grachev, thomas). *edit* yea nevermind, i didn't realize grachev was traded... oops.
stepan is likely going to be our 2nd line center. unless he doesn't improve on faceoffs and anisimov improves significantly (not saying he necessarily needs to improve a lot, although there is always room for improvement) i can't see him not being on the 2nd line.
To me, it looks like:
Dubinsky - Richards - Gaborik
- Anisimov - Callahan
- Stepan - MZA/Avery
Prust - Boyle - ??/Fedetenko
Staal - Girardi
McDonagh - Sauer
Del Zotto/Erixon/???
Do we keep Wolski and go Wolski - Stepan - MZA on the third line?
Where does Avery fit? Christensen? Neither is likely to play on the second line. Does MZA play on the wing with Anisimov and Cally and we get a line of Wolski - Stepan - Avery?
Defensively, Del Zotto gets another chance, for sure. Is Erixon ready for a shot? Do we go with McD/Sauer/MDZ/Erixon? I'm sure everyone would be comfortable with a cheap veteran in that mix, even though they may all be 'ready'.
It seems likely we land Richards. The stars seem to be aligning on that front. Will Wolski still be here, and will he play? Will we sign another forward - I think we need one, even if it's a cheapish 1-3 year deal, to have a truly competitive roster. Do we sign a vet d-man? Bring back Eminger for the spot? I think we need to have at least one vet on the bottom pairing.
I wouldn't want Dubinsky with Gaborik and Richards, I'd want Avery, Fedotenko, Prust, or a banging FA they will sign. Balance. Chicago and Boston says we need at least one physical type on each line. OR have Red Wings skill.
Either way, keep the Pack line as is. We finally have a line showing chemistry, to hell with anyone trying to break it up (not reallly wishing hell on you guys, but yknow??)
I know this may sound really crazy, but what about Boyle as a complimentary player on that first line?
Avery, Christensen
I really think Boyle will continue to progress and even if he "only" scores 20 goals, he is a big body who can create room for his teammates and play solid defensive hockey.
Double Post
I still want Boyle-Avery-Gaborik, damn that line looked awesome for the 15 mins it was together!
Again, never forget what Byfuglien did for Kane and Toews. I wouldn't hate Boyle-Richards-Gaborik
The BR(A)G Line
You have to have some kind of physical presence. Dubinsky is a better, more physical player, so I'd prefer that, especially if we keep Prospal (who could play with Cally and Artie). If we don't keep Prospal and don't sign any LW free agents, then Boyle might be a solid choice so that we could keep Dubi on the 2nd line.
That said it doesn't make him a 1st line LW just because he's there. We still need a top flight W, just to play on our 2nd line IMO. R or L, I think we could aptly use both. Having Cally on our "third" line would greatly help our scoring depth.
I mean Gagne would be great if it weren't for the injury prone thing.
...totally Sting36e, I'm of the school that every line needs at least one big body(that hits, no Joe Thornton who will never win silver by playing like a weakass).
Prospal is done. He can't skate and I want no part of him on this team, as much as I like him as far as his attitude and presence are concerned.
first, i never remember avery-boyle-prust sticking out...i remember fed-boyle-prust sticking out and avery getting bounced around the lineup as well as healthy scratched
second, im reasonablly certain avery has played center in the past
third, i think you're the first person i've ever seen claim cally is more talented than dubi...also im not sure how putting last year's goal and assist leader on the first line is such an outlandish idea
fourth, any respect that is shown by starting cally on the first line because of the letter on the front of his jersey is imediately lost when he gets demoted
5th, cally's a rw...hence him and dubinsky were on the same line
6th, asuming stepan will be above AA on the even strength depth chart is bit pre-mature to say the least...i'd actually be more surprised (assuming richards is signed) if he's not on the 3rd line

I'm oddly happy about the fact that this show is getting another season, and that the ratings are climbing.
It's not quite in the "must watch during actual live time" category (only four things are), but I like the theory of the show even more than the show. Hopefully, the continued realization of that theory is why the numbers are growing.
Better than the ratings, and we have to assume Bravo is smart enough to pick up on this, is the fact that people are talking, and that's good to see.
Catch our review here, and breathe a sigh of relief, and catch up on the back episodes you have on your DVR that you weren't investing in until you got good news.

Publisher's Description
For as long as the church has existed, Christians have embraced the arts as a poignant and effective method for telling the story of the Bible. From visual displays to music to literature, no organization has been more responsible than the church for commissioning and appreciating artists and their craft. Ironically, no organization has been more responsible than the church for suppressing (and even persecuting) artists and art forms it deems inappropriate.
So, what is a proper relationship between the church and the arts? How has that relationship changed in recent generations? This study addresses these questions and more in reference to Christians and their interaction with modern forms of art, like movies.

Successful schools would be rewarded with additional funding and flexibility under President Barack Obama's proposed overhaul of No Child Left Behind -- while the least-successful schools would face mandatory changes that in the most severe cases would result in the removal of the principal. The president of the California Teachers Association criticized Obama's plan, saying it maintains the "one-size-fits-all" approach of NCLB and that test scores should not be used to label schools.

Data breaches hurt more than e-retailers' bottom lines

"Communication to me is crucial. I know that from my own experience as a customer. I want to know the merchant has my money and they are on it," says Inge, who has processed about 12,000 eBay orders over the past 10 years.
Lutwak stresses projecting a positive, friendly tone in e-mail messages. He recommends using phrases like: "If you have any other questions, let me know," "Your satisfaction is very important to us," and "We take your feedback seriously."
And, he says, merchants shouldn't be afraid to point out the service they provided, that they gave positive feedback to the buyer and to ask the customer to leave 5's in all categories.
Inge goes so far as to include a printout in every package she sends that explains eBay's DSR scores. And, she peppers her e-mails with references to ratings. "In every single e-mail I say I am a five-star seller and I strive to give five-star service," Inge says. "It's up to the sellers to educate the buyers on how important ratings are."
Another way merchants can avoid low marks is to under-promise and over-deliver, experts say. For example, a merchant may want to advertise that a buyer will receive his package in five days, even if it is fairly certain to arrive in three. Or, go the extra mile by including a thank you note or a small gift. A car parts merchant, for example, might include an air freshener in each package.
Help wanted
EBay took a step over the summer to help sellers manage their businesses and provide prompt customer care. It began enabling outside developers to sell their applications that work with eBay's Selling Manager and Selling Manager Pro platforms. Tools being offered include HostedSupport, which helps sellers answer questions from shoppers, and ahTEXT, which sends sellers text messages when buyers ask a question, make an offer, buy an item, leave feedback or file a dispute.
Lutwak also suggests merchants use eBay's Dashboard system to look for trends in low feedback scores and find ways to solve problems. This fall, the tool will also help sellers see how they are performing in search results. For example, a merchant might see the same item from another seller is appearing higher in search results because it comes with free shipping.
Shipping has long been a point of contention for eBay merchants. Many buyers expect free shipping and give low scores to sellers for not offering it, merchants say. What's more, eBay's search results favor items that offer free shipping.
Inge, who currently passes shipping fees on to buyers plus a $2 handling charge, recommends placing the indicia, a label that shows the actual amount it costs to ship a package, on shipments so shoppers can see they aren't getting ripped off. Still, Inge says she may be forced to cover shipping fees soon. Her lowest DSR score, a 4.6, is in the shipping cost category.
Think positive
Despite merchant frustrations over a new set of more stringent rules, Wingo points out some aspects of the new system that work in merchants' favor.
Unlike the old discount program, which counted all feedback, in the new system, eBay will consider only feedback from U.S. buyers. This is a plus for merchants because foreign shoppers often gave low grades because they were unhappy about paying duties and customs fees, Wingo says. "For sellers with a large percentage of international buyers, we've found that international buyers score generally .2 lower than U.S. buyers," Wingo says.
Additionally, the Top-rated seller program is based on the number of 1's or 2's left by U.S. buyers divided by the total number of transactions, including those in which the buyer did not leave feedback. In the PowerSeller program, scores were based only on transactions in which the buyer had left feedback.
Those changes will help retailers meet the new requirements. But it's still a brand new ballgame, and many eBay sellers will be spending the next several months learning the rules.

I ride at a very rugged remote OHV called Divide Peak. It's all rocks, sand, and sharp thorny bushes. Very desert like, extremely rough, and very hard on tires. I get flat tires quite frequently. I use this product with the Tubliss system. It works fantastic and keeps me from getting stranded out in the wilderness. The slime works automatically fixing all the small punctures that I get. I usually don't even know that I get them; the slime just does it's thing and seals the tire. If I get a puncture that is too large for the slime to seal, I carry tire plugs and CO2 cartridges. Between the two, I feel confident that I wont get stranded out in the boonies. Gives me great piece of mindRead All Reviews

I use these both front and rear on my KTM. I ride out at Divide Peak OHV, and I can be up to 15 miles from help if I break down. I usually ride by myself, so if I break down, it could be really bad. I've used these for about 18 months and they have saved my bacon. I've ridden home numerous times on a completely flat front tire (30 miles dirt and street) and made it home safely. Now I've learned how to plug my tires, and haven't had any non-repairable flat tires yet. It gives me piece of mind knowing that I can repair (plug) my tires on the trail (without removing the wheel) and get home if I get a flat. I carry tire plugs and CO2 cartridges with me when I ride. I highly recommend these for riders who need to be able to repair flat tires out on the trail.Read All Reviews

- Cited By
Using time-lapse video, we recorded the sleep/wake states of 95 preterm infants, born under 1500 g and cared for in three hospitals, for three 24-hr periods at 33 and 35 weeks conceptional age. The videotapes were scored in 5-min epochs for quiet sleep (QS); active sleep (AS); wakefulness (Wa); bout lengths of QS (QSBL), AS (ASBL), and waking (WaBL); nursing/caregiving periods (Crgv); bout lengths of Crgv (CrgvBL); and time out of the crib (OOC). The infants' sleep showed significant individual differences at each age, over age, and from day to nighttime. They showed developmental changes in QS, AS, Wa, and QSBL. QS and QSBL were positively related to caregiving time; ASBL was related to maternal age; and QS was related to gestational age and birth weight. Thus, very low birth weight preterm infants show marked stability and developmental change in the organization of the sleep/wake states from a very early age, and their states are related to demographic variables as well as temporal measures of caregiving.

Institute of Structural Integrity and Failure Studies & India Science Foundation is Organising International Conference and Exhibition on Fatigue Durability and Fracture Mechanics 28-30th May 2015
Call for Papers
Date Extended
A two-dimensional single edge crack problem is employed to investigate the fracture behavior of saturated poroelastic media. The media are mimicked by a micromechanical model consisting of elastic matrix and square arrays of voids with prescribed uniform pore pressure. Finite element method is used to simulate the fracture responses of the model subject to remote stress and pore pressure loading. The stress extrapolation method is extended for the porous media to calculate the nominal stress intensity factor (SIF) from the crack tip stress field.
In this minisymposium we seek to highlight challenging problems in computational solid mechanics that require mesh adaptation methods for their solution. We focus on the finite element method and works that address large deformations and the accompanying inelasticity, damage, crack propagation and failure. Discussion will center on Lagrangian descriptions and determining the necessary computational components to resolve, preserve, and evolve the fields that govern these processes. Prototypical material systems may include, but are not limited to, ductile metals and biomaterials.
Dear All, Please see the attachment. We are looking only for an MSc student intern who is enrolled in a Higher Education Institution (in the European Union). The topic is the variational theory of fracture for microchip manufacturing. Connections to a relevant company in France are possible. Please see also, in the attachment, our 2014 Computational Mechanics Lab Report and our best wishes for 2015. Regards, Stéphane and the team. Best wishes for 2015: http://hdl.handle.net/10993/19425

Bamboo, as a natural hierarchical cellular material, exhibits remarkable mechanical properties including excellent flexibility and fracture toughness. As far as bamboo as a functionally graded bio-composite is concerned, the interactions of different constituents (bamboo fibers; parenchyma cells; and vessels.) alongside their corresponding interfacial areas with a developed crack should be of high significance.

Dear iMechanicians,
Let me invite you the 3rd International Conference on Material and Component Performance under Variable Amplitude Loading (VAL 2015) taking place in Prague, Czech Republic in March 23-26, 2015. See the details on its website http://www.val-conf.org.
The conference will discuss among others these primary questions:
We simulate the fracture processes of ferroelectric polycrystals in
three dimensions using a phase-field model. In this model, the grain
boundaries, cracks and ferroelectric domain walls are represented in a
diffuse way by three phase-fields. We thereby avoid the difficulty of
tracking the interfaces in three dimensions. The resulting model can
capture complex interactions between the crack and the polycrystalline
and ferroelectric domain microstructures. The simulation results show
the effect of the microstructures on the fracture response of the
material. Crack deflection, crack bridging, crack branching and
ferroelastic domain switching are observed to act as the main fracture
toughening mechanisms in ferroelectric polycrystals. Our fully 3-D

Romanian engineers bound for Norway
Romanian technicians and engineers are on their way to work in Norway's booming gas and oil industry thanks to a recruitment session for which EURES pre-selected many of the job candidates.
Three Norwegian engineering companies – Dfind Engineering AS, Slitasjeteknikk AS and Aker Advantage AS – attended the special two-day event, which was held on 26-27 September in Ploiesti, Romania. The session was organised by EURES in cooperation with Prahova County Employment Agency.
EURES Advisers from Romania and Norway were also on hand to ensure the companies and candidates received the right support, including help with languages.
An encouraging response
Some 76 qualified candidates attended the event, some of whom were invited to meet more than one employer for interview. Much of the hard work went into the pre-selection of candidates by EURES Adviser Elena Tane, who is based in Romania.
Elena received the job vacancies from the Norwegian employers. She then translated and posted the offers on the EURES Job Mobility Portal and the applications soon started rolling in.
"From around 500 CVs, I selected 120 depending on qualifications and experience, then I sent them to two of the employers," explains Elena. "They selected 51 candidates to interview at our recruitment event."
The other company asked candidates to send their applications directly to its website. Three candidates have already secured jobs, and offers of work from the other companies are "in the pipeline".
Feedback from the companies has been very positive. Andreas Feren from Dfind Engineering says: "We were very impressed with the technical skills of the candidates we talked to, and we have now started the work of reviewing and seeing who we can find work for."
The company has subsequently asked EURES to post more job vacancy advertisements on the portal and it is hoped that the collaboration will continue in the coming year.
