With Halloween coming up, I have been trying to figure out a way to easily decorate a pumpkin with a toddler and without it taking up my whole night. I don't know about you, but I don't have time to spend with that tiny dull knife that's included in the $5.99 carving kit, just to have my beautiful (and by beautiful I mean totally distorted) version of one of the patterns be … [Read more...]

Journey Through the Afterlife: Ancient Egyptian Book of the Deadby John H. Taylor
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The Book of the Dead is not a single text but a compilation of spells that the ancient Egyptians believed would assist them in the afterlife as they made their perilous journey toward the realm of the gods and the ultimate state of eternity. No two copies are identical. The spells are often accompanied by colored vignettes, which graphically show the imagined landscape of the Netherworld, the gods and demons whom the deceased will meet, and the critical "weighing of the heart"--the judgment that will determine whether the traveler will be admitted into the afterlife or condemned to destruction by the monstrous "Devourer." With contributions from leading scholars and detailed catalog entries that interpret the spells and painted scenes, this fascinating and important book affords a greater understanding of ancient Egyptian belief systems and poignantly reveals the hopes and fears of mortal man about the "world" beyond death. The whole is beautifully illustrated with specially commissioned photographs of these exceptional papyri and an array of contextual funerary objects--painted coffins, gilded masks, amulets, jewelry, tomb figurines, and mummy trappings.
Book News Annotation:
Curators and conservators at the British Museum worked together closely to choose items for the exhibition that would not suffer irreparable harm from exposure to light. They judged that many interesting colored papyri were too fragile and must wait for display until the science of conservation is developed enough to protect them. Nevertheless, a gorgeous selection of objects was agreed upon, and this volume is the catalogue for the exhibition. Taylor explains in the preface that the Book of the Dead is a collection of writings and spells transmitted through the ages via text and images on tombs and coffins but primarily via papyrus rolls, of which thousands of examples have survived. The writings were translated and studied in the early 19th century, but modern interpretations have supplemented or supplanted some of the early interpretations. This beautifully produced volume (which measures 11x8.5") offers narrative, scholarly analysis, and more than 150 images with extended captions--leading readers on the journey through life and death as it was understood by the ancient Egyptians. Two concluding essays discuss the making of the Book of the Dead, and a history of its study. This book has wide appeal for an audience of professional and amateur Egyptologists, art historians, conservators, and philosophers. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

I'd turn on nogui boot in msconfig to see if that makes it a shade faster (almost no point but it could a fraction of a difference)
Also, nice monitor
They let you build your own PC and use it at work? That would be cool, I'd replace mine immediately as well
I'm curious, how is IT Support provided, if anyone can bring in their own machine and nothing is standard anymore? Do they do it on a best effort basis and the rest is up to the user?
Wow, very nice setup!
My office PC has remained the same IBM Thinkcentre system since starting at the company over 5 years ago!
Just out of curiosity, what line of work are you in, and do your daily tasks require such a powerful system?
I'm assuming the guy is providing his own support . And if he's regarded as the tech guy, I doubt anyone else will be building their own haha

Operative Treatment of Intraarticular Calcaneal Fractures in the Pediatric Population
ABSTRACT Calcaneal fractures in children are rare injuries, and those with displaced intraarticular fracture patterns are found even less frequently. Recent data in the adult literature have suggested operative treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures leads to a more favorable outcome. Most pediatric calcaneal fractures are due to low-energy trauma and are therefore minimally displaced and extraarticular. However, some children are exposed to high-energy trauma, leading to severe intraarticular injuries. Operatively treated calcaneal fractures in children have been poorly described in the literature. The purpose of this study was to analyze the outcomes of surgically treated displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures in children.
All children with closed displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures treated with open reduction internal fixation at 1 institution were reviewed at an average of 67 months postoperatively. Preoperative and postoperative radiographs and preoperative computed tomographic scans were used to classify fractures. Functional outcome was assessed by the use of the subjective portions of the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hindfoot score.
Fourteen fractures in 13 patients who met the inclusion criteria were treated with open reduction internal fixation. We found 7 tongue-type and 7 joint depression-type fractures based on the Essex-Lopresti classification. Based on the Sanders classification, we found 9 type II (2-part) fractures and 5 type III (3-part) fractures. The average preoperative and postoperative Bohler angles were 11.8 and 28.4 degrees (P < 0.0001), respectively. The average subjective AOFAS hindfoot score was 64 of a possible 68 points. Of 14 fractures, 13 were fixed with a buttressing plate laterally. One patient was fixed with a single 3.5-mm cortical screw and had the lowest AOFAS hindfoot score. Four minor complications in 3 patients were encountered.
We found that most children with displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation at 1 institution had a good clinical outcome with few complications.

ABSTRACT: Calcaneal fractures are considered uncommon accounting for 0.005- 0.41% of all children fractures. Few reports concerning treatment are available. Most of these fractures are non-displaced/minimally displaced and are associated with a fall of less than 1 m. The aim of this case report was to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of a child calcaneal fracture, an atypical presentation despite the high energy mechanism of trauma. A 7-year-old child fell from a 5-m ladder with all his weight on his right heel. Significantly hind-foot reduced range of motion associated with a lateral/plantar calcaneal swelling and pain was found. Neurovascular examination and other parts of the body were normal. Radiograph showed an undisplaced calcaneal body fracture and computed tomography confirmed no subtalar joint involvement. A splint followed by plaster was applied. Weight bearing and deambulation were not allowed. After 4 weeks, no pain and limping was reported by the child's parents. Plaster was removed and radiograph showed fracture consolidation. Patient had no complaints of pain, no restrictions in range of motion and normal walking. Limping in children is a difficult complaint to assess. Differential diagnoses of a calcaneal fractures should be performed, even without a history of trauma or a history of trivial trauma.Journal of Clinical Medicine Research 01/2015; 7(1):52-55.

ABSTRACT: Wir berichten über einen 12-jährigen Jungen, der sich im Rahmen eines einfachen Umknicktraumas eine Kalkaneusfraktur zuzog. Magnetresonanztomographisch zeigte sich eine undislozierte, extraartikuläre Fraktur, so dass keine Operationsindikation bestand. Die konservative Therapie erfolgte mittels einer Kalkaneusfrakturorthese unter Vollbelastung. Hierdurch wurde eine bequeme Fortbewegung ohne Gehstützen und Gipsruhigstellung verbunden mit einer raschen Rückkehr des verletzten Kindes in seinen gewohnten Tagesablauf ermöglicht.Der Unfallchirurg 01/2013; 116(11). · 0.61 Impact Factor

ABOUT MYSELF Good morning! Ladies and Gentlemen, My name is xxxx. I am now eighteen years old and live in Taipei. At present I am studying in the Foundry Department at Muzha Vocational High School. Being a student of the Foundry Department, I am taking lots of extra professional courses besides the basic compulsory studies. They include Foundry Training, Carpentry, Drawing and so on. Among these courses, I am especially interested in the assignments related to wood - lathed vase and computer-aided drawing. I would like to have these tasks assigned as my learning information required for the application of Adaptation Test (or Entrance Examination.) To motivate myself and enlarge my learning fields, I participated in some extracurricular activities besides t he regular academic programs at school. One of these was that I joined the School Tennis Club and was chosen as the team leader. I got to know many friends who have the same interests. In addition to the leadership and tennis skills, I learned how to get along with people and develop good peer relationships. I know the essence of sport, and deeply believe I save benefited a lot from playing tennis. It will become one of my life -time hobbies besides basketball - playing, hiking and listening to music. I really enjoyed it with friends in my leisure time. Well, at the end of my high school semester I really look forward to continuing my education in your college (or university) after my graduation. Thank you and I wish all of you a very good day. Sincerely, Xxxxxxxx (Name) Dec. 27. 2004 Autobiograghy My name is Jimmy Lin. I was born in Taipei on August 10th, 1987. Vocational There are five people in my family. My father who is a diligent worker works in a chemical factory. My mother is a housewife good at cooking. My brother is a junior high school student. He is younger than me by four years . My younger sister is an elementary school student. She is only eleven years old, but she always considers the feelings of others. "Being good is a must; successful, however, is a plus." Father adopted the idea from his father and taught us to win success by descent ways. In my spare time, I like to read novels. I think reading could enlarge my knowledge. As for novels, I could imagine whatever I like such as a well -known scientist or a kung-fu master. In addition to reading, I also enjoy listening to musi c, or even surfing the Internet and playing the computer game. A lot of grown -ups think surfing the Internet or playing the computer games hinders the students from learning. But I think these kinds of activities could motivate me to learn something such as English or Japanese. I love surfing the Internet and playing the on -line game very much, but I don't indulge myself in them. I wish I could be a computer designer in the future. And that is why I am applying for the electronics program in your school. I am studying harder than before because I hope I could have the opportunity to enter this school. I am optimistic and active all the time, and I am confident that I will pass the entrance exam this summer. I grow up in a family which is full of love and warmth. In my family, father plays an important role in the process of cultivating my character and he teaches me different knowledge. To do my justice, he is not so much a kind father as a stric t teacher. During my school days, fortunately, I meet many not only patient but also learned teachers. Furthermore, I also broaden my horizons from my school life and different classmates, As far as I 'm concerned, I experienced the importance of cultivating interest in the second year of my junior high school days. At that time, I found myself by joining the school 's chorus and I also understood that everyone had his own potential. To my surprise, I more and more understood myself from practicing singing again and again. Because I tired my best to complete the goal. I got simple happiness from the process of that hard work whether the experience is unforgettable or not, it has been a key which opens the door of my latter learning. When it comes to my good po ints, first, I do everything at my own pace, not being affected by others or the environment, second, if I make up my mind to do something, I will do it with determination, These traits make it possible for me to face every difficulty and problem. The reasons why I want to major in this subject are as follows. To the beginning, I expect to broaden my horizons. For instance, I hope to learn more about the skills of communication. I think it is important for all of us to learn counseling . Being a major of counseling gives me more opportunities to study. What the present world really need. After that, in this department, I can get acquainted with many people from everywhere in Taiwan, who have different life experiences and would love to share with me. I will know more about myself and this world though these experiences. That's why I want to be a major in this department. I'm very eager to be a college student. If I could enter this department, I will try my best to learn everything and be a good student. I wi ll participate in different clubs which I am interested in and lead a colorful and meaningful life. In addition to, I will learn more about computer and English in order to make myself a qualified competitor. After graduation I will devote what I have lear ned to the need and this society. Thank you for your attention. Autobiography My name is Henry Huang . I was born at Chungho city, Taipei county seventeen years ago. I am now a third grade student of the Department of Plumbing and Piping at Muzha Vocational high school. Coming from a happy family, I am a peace lover. My father is an engineer in Formosa Plastics, and my mother is a nurse in a hospital. My sister who is younger than me by three years is a middle school student. During my vocational high school days, I joined the English Studying Club and I was also elected the vice-president of the Club of Plumbing and Piping. In the English club, we studied role-playing, lectures and singing instead of textbooks. As a vice - president of a club, I learned to get along with people from diffident points of view. I also learned to be patient, and most importantly, to listen to others. I found that by listening, I gained more. I like sports. I enjoy playing basketball and jogging at my leisure. I believe nothing is more precious than health, so I exercise frequently to develop a strong body. I like music too. I go to sing Karaoke with my families or friends from time to time. To be frank to you, I can relax from all kinds of pressure and troubles by singing and listening to music. Why not give yourself a try? I am studying harder than ever before because I will enter a university or a college this summer. I hope I can enter a public school in order to save my parents and me a lot of money. I always work hard, be cause I know that if I am not competitive I will fail sooner or later. I am optimistic and hard -studying and I really want to lead a successful life in the future. AUTOBIOGRAPHY by _______________ It is my honor to have this opportunity to introduce myself to you. I was born in Taipei, June 6, 1988 of a middle class. My family is a small one with only four members – my father, a retired teacher now working for an electronic company, my mother, my younger sister and I. Though the competition of getting into a public high school was keen in Taipei, I did not suffer much to enter Mucha Vocational High School almost three years ago. I managed well to keep my academic records above average and enjoy my life at the same time in junior high school. Two and half years' life in Mucha has been one of the most unforgettable in my life. As you may know, Mucha educates all students in well -developed ways. Most teachers not only teach us knowledge and skills but also instruct us how to think independently. I constantly obtain very good grades in academic classes and become a member of the student board. I participate in some extracurricular activities such as dancing, art and athletics. Now that I am going to graduate from high school, the next step of my educational plan is to obtain higher learning in college. After doing some research and upon many teachers' recommendation, I found that your institution is the most inviting college to me. I should be glad to enroll in the Department of Mechanical Engineering(my major at Mucha Vocational High School) of your institution and will do my upmost to extend my scholarship and life. Thanks for your favorable consideration. Autobiography My Chinese name is Lee Yu, and my English name is Albert. I was born on the afternoon of October 15th, 1987, which means I'm 17 years old. I have a family of five, and we have lived in Panchiao for ten years. My father is a bus driver and my mother has a part-time job at a restaurant. I'm the middle kid in my family. My sister studies at Oriental Institute of Technology. My brother is an elementary school student in grade six. I'm studying at Mucha Vocational High School, majoring in Die Molding. During my first two years, I got much help from a lot of teachers, especially my homeroom teacher, Mr. Wang. I was pessimistic and left behind in my class, but Mr. Wang kept encouraging me. As days went by, I felt I was different. Not only have I improved my study habits, but I also be come more confident. I'm very lucky to study in such a warm school and I do enjoy my school life now. I like to play basketball with my friends in my free time. It feels good to sweat and pant after an exciting game. In addition, I learn how to be a good p layer by cooperating with other teammates. It helps me to realize the importance of being cooperative in a group. Besides outdoor activities, I enjoy listening to the pop music when I'm alone in my own room. It's really relaxing to hum with the singer and it's a good way to forget all the unhappiness. Believe it or not, I have more than 200 CDs. Since I'm in the third grade now, I start to think about my future plan. I've learned the basic knowledge of die -making and the skills of operating and maintaining the die-making equipment and machine, so I'm surely qualified to work as a technician in the die-making related field. But it's not my only choice. In fact, I've always wanted to be a college student just like everyone else. I believe I can enter an ideal technological college as long as I try my best. Therefore, I'll pay attention to the teachers in classes and make good use of my time after school. "Where there is a will, there is a way." Wish me luck! Good morning, dear professors: Thank you for the opportunity to be here to introduce myself. My name is Jack Chen. I was born in 1987.

As a student of industrious school, I learn more than general high school students in the field of technology, including mechanics, materials, computer -aided design and computer-aided manufacture. Mechanics is an interesting subject for it interpreting the movement of object and inferring the tendency of moving. Material knowledge, especially the knowledge of carbon steel and alloy, make me realize the world of industry. Furthermore, the courses of CAD/CAM let me have the power to machine part precisely. CAD/CAM Not only being indulged in the study of professional lessons, I was also active in extra-curricular activities and served as president of the Tae -kwon-do Club. I am an energetic and outgoing person. I like swimming, jogging as well as reading; The days in industrial school are precious in my life. I built my self -confident as well as the professional technique. ; I hope to continue my studies in this field. I'm sure I will become a successful professional in technology after finishing the training of this honored university.

What influenced you the most in your childhood? 4. How and why did you enter a vocational high school? 5. What kind of student are you now? 6. How do you get along with others? 7. Who listens to you when you have a problem? 8. What are you going to major in the future? 9. What is your goal in life? An example of autobiography My name is Tom Cruise. I was born in Taipei on December 7, 1984. There are five persons in my family including my father, my mother, my two sisters, and myself. I was the only son, and my childhood was spe nt playing in the neighborhood with other boys. I was well disciplined by my parents and teachers. Though I aimed at senior high, I didn't do well on the Joined Entrance Examination of Senior High. After junior high school, where I had been an average student, I was admitted to Electrical Engineering Department, Muzha Vocational High School. All the students in my class were boys, most of whom didn't care much about studying in the first semester. My grades went from bad to worse. After the second monthly exam, I realized that I couldn't waste my time fooling around or I might be flunked. After talking to my parents and teachers, I was determined to pay more attention to my studying, and make a practical studying plan. Through making efforts step by step, I balanced the grades of most courses. That inspired me that I got to develop a good studying habit and method. Otherwise, I might be nothing at graduation. From the second semester on, I participated in many class activities and clubs at school. Since I had been interested in basketball, I started to play on our school team. At the same time, I was elected class leader. That really tightened my schedule and made me think more thoroughly before taking any action. Therefore, m y teachers not only praised me but gave me more opportunities to acquire different skills. For example, when I was in the second year, I was chosen to represent my school, Mucha Vocational High School, to take part in the island -wide Basketball Contest. Fortunately, we won the third prize. The game made realize one thing – No pain no gain. Due to my personality – easy going and open minded, I got lots of friends, from whom I really learned bunch of valuable experiences. Therefore, when I was in a low spirit, they are remedy to my heart. They are always generous to offer me their opinions and experience. I am grateful for that. For days, I have improved my EQ. By searching information from the internet, my major in college will be "Industrial Management". It is difficult for young man to speak of his philosophy of life, but I believe it is very important for every individual to have a sense of pride and dignity in his own worth. Therefore, I would like to help people to inspire their motivation to their work so as to raise the efficiency and achievement. As a result, the atmosphere in the working place will be more harmonious. My Autobiography My name is Julia Chang. From a middle -class family, I was born in Taipei on December 20 th, 1987. As a priest, my father is a simple and down -to-earth person. My mother is a positive thinker, always taking care of my whole family with great patience. They are strict with me and yet very understanding and supportive. "Action speaks louder than words" --- that is my parents' philosophy of educating me. Hence, their good deeds have a direct influence on me. Being an optimistic person, I am always willing to learn new things and take every chance to explore the beautiful world. I am not the only child in my family. Two younger brothers, Peter and Roger, accompany me to grow to maturity. Brought up in such a warm atmosphere and environment, I have a positive outlook on life with great strength. Owing to my parents' putting high premium on my schoolwork, I devote myself to my studies and pay attention to all meaningful things happened in daily life instead of spending much time fooling around. However, all work and no play would make Jack a dull boy. My parents encourage me to find my own interest to enrich my life at the same time. It is drawing that makes my life interesting and colorful as my favorite recreational activity. On weekends, I visit some galleries with my friends or my family. I am convinced that the more we are exposed to aesthetics, the more we benefit in our whole life. Besides, I amuse myself by reading English novels in my free time, which have an abundance of vocabulary and interesting plots. Whenever I read, my heart leaps up with joy. From time to time, I surf the Internet and download the E-books to read. My vocabulary is enlarged and my reading skills are enhanced as well because of the advanced technology and the vivid animations. As the proverb goes, "Practice makes perfect." Though I was not born in a rich family, nor have I had the chance to study abroad so far, I still can excel other classmates in English. When discussing my future plan with my family, I told them that I wanted to major in English language and literature. There is no denying that English has become a universal language. I will take advantage of every possibility to polish up my English so that I can acquire more knowledge from other English -speaking countries. Every effort will be put forth from me in order to meet the university's requirements and expectations. Therefore, I would be very grateful if I were granted the opportunity to major in English language and literature in your esteemed university. Self-Introduction Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thanks for the opportunity giving me to do a self-introduction. My English name is Allan; I was born in Jun. 31. 1987. I have an elder brother, Joey, my only sibling, and of course I have my Dad and Mon, both of my parents are teachers. We live in an alley near by Daan Forest Park. I will be graduated from Muzha Vocational S enior High School in Jun. Foundry is my major. After three years in workshop, I find hand -on practice is quite interesting. Whenever I work on any pattern to build a sand mold, I 'm very excited and can't wait to see the cast. Mechanical manufacturing is one of my favorite subjects; in it I learn a lot of knowledge about modern production. It 's too bad only few of them I had practice in our workshop, as for Forging, Heat treatment, Welding and CNC machining; direct experience is all I want though I've seen then on the video. I also have a liking for Material. It's amazing that a small amount of carbon in the iron could build a stronger and harder one called steel. I have a dream I could create a new alloy which not only be used in industry but also be named after my name. Self-introduction My name is Wang Da-wei. I live in Taipei. There are four people in my family, including my father, mother, elder brother and myself. My father is a hard -working engineer. My mother is an orderly homemaker. I am a senior at Taipei Mucha Vocational High School, majoring in mechanical drawing. Among all the specialized courses, I like computer -aided drawing best. In fact, I have not only achieved high grades in it but also passed the skill qualification test of computer-aided drawing in basic level. Bes ides, I'm also interested in industrial design. After taking some courses in this field, I find I'm fascinated by the fun and challenge of designing. While designing, I have to combine creative ideas with theories and reality. This is what I enjoy most. Th erefore, I decide to study more about this field after high school. In my high school days, I was elected as class leader twice. Perhaps this is because I'm an active and responsible person, and I get along well with my classmates. During that time, I followed the teacher's instructions and carefully fulfilled all the given tasks. Because of my good performance, I was awarded the prize of the good class officer. To me, this was more than a real compliment. It was a great honor. Also, I learned something from this position. For example, I realized the importance of making plans in advance. I learned the techniques of effective communication, too. These were valuable experiences that textbooks don't teach. But, certainly they will benefit my studies, interpers onal relationship, and future development. Knowing that English is an important tool in the working place, I took part in the English Conversation Club in the school. By practicing speaking English with my club members again and again, I gradually made pr ogress in speaking. Now I can confidently converse with people in English. What is more, I passed GEPT of elementary level, and I've been preparing to challenge the intermediate level. With my great interests in industrial design and high grades in mechani cal drawing, I hope I can have the chance to study in your department. In addition to the excellent faculty, your department is also famous for creative teaching and students' outstanding achievements. It's my first and best choice for further study. Pleas e give me the chance. Thank you for your consideration. Self –Introduction My name is Charlie Chen. I am seventeen years old, and live in Taipei. I'm a gentle and responsible person. My family consists of my father, mother, one brother and myself. My father is a sales manager. My mother is a capable housewife. I have a really sweet family and I'm very grateful to my parents. I am a vocational high school graduate and have longed to go to university. I have lived up to my parents' expectation, for my records always show a distinguished achievement at school, beginning from the primary school to the vocational high school. I like sports very much; I not only enjoy watching various kinds of games but also enjoy playing basketball games. I was an active b asketball player in the vocational high school team. There is no doubt that basketball is my favorite sport and, if possible, I will play it continuously. Besides, I am fond of reading, playing computer games, going to the movies and listening to music bec ause they can bring me a lot of joy. I hope to be a mechanical engineer in the future. Because of my love for mechanical engineering, I choose to be a mechanical engineering major as my first goal. If I am lucky enough to study in your university, I belie ve in the coming four years I will prove myself an active pursuer of knowledge of mechanical engineering. I will take more than the normal amount of credits in the optional subjects and will do a lot of outside reading and practice work. Besides, I will be enthusiastic enough to participate in extracurricular activities. At last, I hope I will have the chance to develop my interests and capabilities in your university. Self Introduction △ △ △ - My name is _________________. I am now a third year student at Taipei Municipal Muzha Vocational High School, majoring in Mechanics. Since my first year in high school, I have been active in participating various activities and competitions in school to prepare myself for being recommended to enter colleges in the future. In my first year in high school, I was fortunate to be elected by my fellow classmates as health official, academic official and teaching assistance of physics, thus motivating me to work more for classmates and help to decorate classroom with much efforts. I was also gladly to be nominated and selected as "Student of Excellence" in that same year. Afterward I even competed in recital contest of Chinese literature tournament and essay and phrase writing activity held by the library. Although I didn't win anything, I did learn a great deal which really enrich my experience. . . In my second year in high schoo l, I have gained wide popularity and trust among my classmates who then elected me as president of the class. Although it's quite a busy year, it has been very fulfilling to me. Besides leading classmates to win many awards, I also worked hard to continu e participating in calligraphy contest of Chinese Literature Tournament. Because I was well prepared this time, I did win award. That made me very happy. In this semester I challenged the Class C of Pliers Worker's License. I did not work hard enough; t herefore, did not get the license, but I was determined to put more effort. Later I was invited by the school to assist in decorating graduation ceremony of that school year. I became extremely busy, tied up in working for class work and decorating at th e same time. Finally the result came out and got complement from everyone, which really made me quite proud of myself. Now is my third year in high school and it's time to work hard. Therefore, I put all my effort in schoolwork. Of course I hav en't forgotten the Class C of Pliers Worker's License. This time I worked doubly hard and the hard work paid off. I got the license at last. In addition, I joined Mechanics Study Club to enhance my professional subject. At the same time because college s will require the reading of English textbook, I do have to improve my ability in English in order to connect myself to college schoolwork in the future. Self-introduction My name is Chuen-guey Wang. I was born in 1987. I have a happy family that consists of four persons: my father, mother, elder sister and myself. My father is a government official. My mother, a housewife, takes care of all of us. When I was a child, I liked to play all kinds of games and jokes. At the age of six, I entered Mu-cha Elementary School to begin my formal education. After six years of study, I entered Mu-cha Junior High School where I studied for three years. Then, I passed the entrance examination and entered Taipei Municipal Mu -cha Vocational High School. In high school, I majored in Mechanical Drawing. During that time, I studied very hard and always got good grades and won several scholarships. I was active in extra-curricular activities and served as president of the Tae -kwon-do Club. I am an energetic and outgoing person. I like swimming and jogging. Moreover, I like reading, especially books on mechanical design. I hope to continue my studies in this field. I'm sure I will become a suc cessful student at university of technology after graduation. Furthermore, I'd like to have a company of my own and be its president in the future. I am ______________. ___________ is my English name. I am 18 years old, studying in Mu-za comprehensive high school. My family is a very happy middle class family. My father works in a ____________ and my mother works in a _____________. I am not the so-called spoiled child. My parents make very sure of that by training me to be independent. Throughout my academic career, I have not only gotten good grades but also been very active on sport field and have involved in various societies. I play ___________ and enjoy the team spirit we have. I have joined the computer club for two years and became the volunteer of library. My duty is to help people solve their computer problems. By helping others, I not only made a lot of friend, but also gained many different valuable experiences. I really enjoy interacting with others and I really appreciate the feeling of sharing. Among these academic subjects, Computer and Information Science is my favorite. I hope someday I could be a professional computer programmer who creates and designs the software to meet the needs of people in the future. Your University ___________________________, especially your department___________________________, is my first and only one choice. I hope you could give me the oppo rtunity to study there, and someday I may earn an honor in return. Thank you! Self Introduction Living in a family of four, my parents build an open atmosphere and let us make choices of our own. We are encouraged to observe and learn things from real life in person. Therefore, I am always open -minded to the world. Attending Muzha Vocational High School in my neighborhood, I had a great time during my school years. My academic performance was satisfying. I undertook extensive trainings in both Chinese and English. Besides, I picked up the abilities from my teachers to do systematic and logic thinking. Among all the subjects, English is my favorite and my specialty. English is so important a language that many people are learning it and using it. To me, English is a means to make friends with foreigners, travel overseas and cultivate international awareness. As for extracurricular activities, my school provided a great variety of school clubs for us to participate in. I was a member of school band and I played the drum. I discovered my potential in leadership when I was elected the class leader. The experience benefited me a lot and helped me build up my confidence. I successfully accomplish several class activities such as the cheer squad competition. In fact, we won the first place. I take my study seriously and I am fully confident in accomplishing every goal the new curriculum will bring. I know that all the knowledge I gain from you department is going to pave a smoother way for m y future career.

The tech came out the day he was supposed to and was friendly and offered other products. We haven't had any issues yet with our cable and enjoy the On Demand feature. I gave Dish a 4 star rating because there is always room for improvement. Thanks."- April A / Midway, Georgia

"At the age of 57 this is the first time I have ever used satellite tv and must admit the service has been better than my last cable experience. The one thing I don't like is, the pkg I was sold just 6 months ago is almost twice the current offer.

"So far I have been really pleased with my service!"- Caitlin C / Hazlehurst, Georgia

"- James C / Dublin, Georgia
"Awesome"- Kianca T / Columbus, Georgia
"Dish is heads above Comcast. The Hopper is lighting fast, the fact that is shows the last 4 channels to return to is priceless. No more trying to remember what I was watching 2 channels ago!

"I am not happy that I can't pay my bill online and must give you access to my bank account so you can take the fee out. I thought I was getting 2 ION channels and only got one so not happy about that. But it's worth the trouble not to have to put up with Directv being as rude as they were to me. "- Betty W / Richland, Georgia
"The installer spent several hours installing our four "hoppers". We are loving it! I just wish my husband had asked a few more questions about recordings and viewing our recorded movies as I really hate the icons and would much prefer a list. I just need to go on the dish site and see if that is something that is doable. I love all the free blockbuster movies I am able to watch, esp. when there isn't anything really on that I want to watch. Again I wish my husband had asked the technician if it were possible to record only first run series and not all the reruns. Again I will have to try and figure out how to do that and if it is available. Overall we (all 4 of us) are thoroughly enjoying our new Dish especially with the huge savings we have compared to our other service. Glad we switched!"- Margo L / Lawrenceville, Georgia

I applied online. The process took 1 day – interviewed at HCL Technologies (Seattle, WA) in February 2015.
I applied this job from a job board That recruitment was posted by a vendor of this company. So I was contacted by a recruiter. He wanted me to go to interview in the afternoon of same day. I felt it was too rushed. I asked him that would I have another option? He thought about it for a while then said how about afternoon of the next day. I had 2 interviews on that day. First one was their leader of recruiter team. I had good conversation with him. Second one was with his boss. But I was not sure about his position. He liked to change the topics very fast, sometimes I even didnt have enough time to finish current question. He also asked me write down what I do daily on a big white board.

I applied online. The process took 3 days – interviewed at HCL Technologies (Nashville, TN) in February 2015.
They were hiring multiple people for the position. It was a mass interview event, lots of candidates (used in & out like cattle). Most of the interviews flew in from out of state & some were from affiliated company's not HCL. I Spoke with 2 different people for about 15 minutes each. It appeared that if the first person you talked to thought you did well you were passed onto the next. My interview was at the end of the day and I was not able to speak to a 3rd person from HCL to get any questions answered,about the position as they had all left to go to the airport.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at HCL Technologies in December 2014.
Applied via CareerBuilder. Within 5 minutes i was in contact with a recruiter directly from the company. At that time i scheduled a time for me to attend the "Open House" at the company where i would be tested, then interviewed. After hanging up, I recieved at least 10 phone calls from outside recruiting agencies (90% were Indian). I arrived to be seated in a room with about 8 other people, it was clear this was a mass hiring. We were taken to a Lab where we had 40 questions ranging from
"What network model is described and one computer connected to another in succession where the last computer connects to the first(wording?): Ring was the answer"
"How to do you set the default paper layout for a printer?"
These questions were all multiple choice, but they were translated from indian to english, so some of the questions/answers were a bit hard to understand.
They said i did VERY well, one of the highest scores, yet i received a low C on the test. (You need 20 questions correct to pass)
Then we proceeded to the interviews. Because you do not apply for a specific position, they have you interview in a layered approach. My first interview went well, he said that i was overqualified for any of the positions he had (I assume tier 1) and i would speak with the next interviewer. The next interview on the other hand seemed very unprofessional. He had a very thick accent so somethings were a bit hard to understand, but his vague questions, "What do you know about application?" "what is your weakness" Followed by the interruption of my questions to the interviewer, only to be dismissed did not set well with me.
Because it is an india based company, you have to take a drug test and background check before an offer is made.
I received my offer, but the salary was far below market, no negotiation was possible.

- "What do you know about application?" ; "What network model is described and one computer connected to another in succession where the last computer connects to the first(wording?)"; "How to do you set the default paper layout for a printer?" 1 Answer
Reasons for Declining

Beaumont/Port Arthur
After more than two weeks of testimony in the capital murder trial of convicted Jefferson County courthouse shooter Bartholomew Granger, jurors have decided the self-described "Mr. Hyde" will be put to death.
The death penalty for Granger comes after a week's worth of recorded jailhouse phone conversations were presented to jurors during the sentencing phase of the trial. This prompted Granger to make sudden outbursts, cursing at jurors and attorneys in open court. As a result, Granger's defense questioned their client's sanity.
Jefferson County Commissioners approved measures to go forward with the Pleasure Island Revised Breakwater Project and proclaimed May 4 through 12 "National Travel and Tourism Week" at a May 6 meeting at the Jefferson County Courthouse.
At their special court session scheduled Monday, May 6, commissioners approved a resolution appointing County Judge Carl Thibodeaux as the Orange County representative and negotiator with the Gulf Coast Community Protection and Recovery District Inc.
Number seven may be the charm, but an audience gathered at Beaumont Independent School District's West Brook campus Tuesday, May 7, sounded off against BISD's most recent redistricting map, which was only made available for review the same day. BISD is redistricting as part of a constitutional mandate that requires voting entities to re-evaluate their district lines after each census to ensure fair representation to all the population.
A hearing conducted Tuesday morning, May 7, in the 136th District Court of Jefferson County essentially ended a nearly yearlong battle for documents waged by two sitting Beaumont Independent School District trustees against the entity they serve.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.
