How to Lead in 2025
by Alexandra Levit - Nov, 2010
The business world will change dramatically in the next 10-25 years. For one thing, due to a declining worldwide birthrate, the U.S., China, India, Europe, and parts of South America will struggle with labor shortages as the Baby Boomers retire en masse. Global corporations will increase in size even as they become flatter in structure, virtual workspaces will become commonplace, social welfare will be a priority, and tech...
7 Ways to Save Money While Launching Your Business

Your Rights in Wisconsin When Applying for Jobs with an Arrest & Conviction Record
by Randy Enochs - Nov, 2010
One very common problem for people with an arrest and conviction record(s) is the fear of being rejected for a job because of the stigma associated with such a record. What further complicates the matter is the ease of employers and the general public to conduct a search on the Consolidated Court Automation Programs (CCAP) to discover a person's court history, both civil and criminal. Whether it's that small claims matter or...
Four Ways To Help Your Resume Pass The HR Screen-Out Phase
by Cathy Eng - Nov, 2010
In most cases, before your resume even gets to a hiring manager's desk, it is passed through a screen-out process that is designed to immediately eliminate candidates who do not meet the minimum requirements. This makes it a lot more efficient for companies to fill positions, but I can also leave qualified candidates out in the cold if their resumes do not display those clearly defined requirements. If you are wondering w...
Tuesdays Are Terrific! The Best Day And Time To Contact HR
by Cathy Eng - Nov, 2010
Many job seekers focus solely on the "how" of contacting potential employers, but the "when" can be crucial to getting noticed as well. Contacting them when they are more likely to be alert and responsive (and not tired, hungry, or stressed) is all about timing. That includes planning the optimal time and day to contact HR (to either initiate contact, follow up after sending a resume, or follow up post-interview). Accord...
A Zillion More Reasons to Abolish Job Descriptions
by Lou Adler - Nov, 2010
As most of you know, I think job descriptions are the primary reason why companies can't find or hire top talent. For this reason alone they should be abolished. Here's the first dozen of a zillion reasons why. 1. Except for the list of responsibilities, they don't define jobs at all; they define people taking the jobs. If these descriptions left out the required skills, years of experience, industry background, and academ...
Promoting New Managers? Tell Them What to Expect
by Mary G. White - Nov, 2010
As an HR professional, you are often directly responsible for selecting employees to move into management positions. Even when you don't make the decision yourself, it's likely that you are involved in the selection process. You can help your company and your employees by taking steps to be certain that the people that you choose for promotion into supervisory positions have a clear vision of exactly what they're getting into...
Minimizing Risk of Retaliation Claims Is As Easy As A B C
by Stephanie Thomas, Ph.D. - Nov, 2010
In last week's #EEOChat, the issue of retaliation came up. How much do you know about retaliation claims? Retaliation claims are on the rise. Among all charges filed with the EEOC in 2009, 36% included a claim of retaliation; this represents an increase of approximately 70% over the last decade. In her May 3, 2010 article on retaliation, Karen Gieselman, an attorney in the Columbia office of Fisher & Phillips, states: G...
When Interns Are in the House
by Brad Karsh - Oct, 2010
Flowers are in full bloom, season finales are dominating the airwaves, and the end of the school year is upon us. That can mean only one thing – it's intern season! For some of us, that's ten weeks of delivered coffee, spotless files, and collated copies. Joking aside, interns can be an incredibly valuable resource on a number of fronts. They can provide fresh ideas and perspective, they can deliver solid work output a...
Why your next job might come via LinkedIn
by Laura Smith-Proulx - Oct, 2010
As you might expect, I speak with many senior executives and other job hunters on a regular basis. As I review their job search techniques and situation, the common refrain I hear is that they've set up a LinkedIn Profile, but then failed to do anything else with it. These executives are often just peripherally aware that using LinkedIn can help their job search, but they're not sure what steps to take that will help them...

Travel guide Lonely Planet has named the Negev desert as one of its top destinations of the year.
The Negev, which covers most of southern Israel, appears in second place on its annual list of ten top regions to visit. The desert area is in the company of Corsica, in France, Mustang in Nepal and the Palawan archipelago in the Philippines.
Israelis are being pressed to entice more tourists to the Jewish state as their patriotic duty — with the incentive of winning a holiday at home for themselves.
The Ministry of Tourism is launching a new website this month containing postcards and video clips visitors can use to introduce overseas friends, family and colleagues to the country.
Christian tourism to Israel is booming, according to new figures released by the country's tourism ministry.
In a poll conducted earlier this month, it emerged that 58 per cent of all visitors to the Jewish state were Christians travelling to see sites including the sea of Galilee and Bethlehem.
A hotel worker has reportedly been fatally wounded by a gunman at a hotel in Eilat.
Details of what happened at the Leonardo Club hotel are still emerging. Dana Zinati, a spokeswoman for the city of Eilat, told Israel's Channel 2 that the man is an American Jewish man in his 20s who came to Israel on a programme that brings American Jews to Israel.
Tourism Minister Stas Misezhnikov regularly escapes the watchful eye of his security detail and goes out partying until he is completely intoxicated, according to several of his security guards.
Hundreds of Jewish tourists shared a Friday night meal in the Bulgarian resort town of Burgas days after five Israelis were killed in a terror attack.
The meal was hosted by Chabad rabbi Yosef Solomon, who has also been helping the wounded and their families, as well as supporting Israeli rescue workers.
Passengers flying from London to Tel Aviv early this morning found their journey was shorter than usual when their El Al plane was forced back after just 20 minutes.
A group of identifiably Jewish visitors to Jordan found their holiday had turned sour after they were set upon by locals.
The six tourists, some of whom were wearing kippot, were in the Al Karak souk when they were reportedly targeted by attackers throwing shoes at them. The tourists were chased out of the market.
The Israel Government Tourist Office has been cleared of breaching advertising standards for a promotion of Jerusalem in the latest battle over tourism publicity.
More than a half dozen complaints over adverts for Israel or the Palestinian Territories have been adjudicated by the Advertising Standards Authority over the past three years.
Only a fortnight ago, the ASA upheld a complaint again
A Florida based holiday company has announced that they will be conducting an Elvis themed tour around Israel.
Brian Mayes, the co-founder of Israel Theme Tours, told Business Week that the tour, which is scheduled for May 2013, will not include Elvis impersonators as fans "don't like cheesy Elvis stuff", but rather will be a classic tour of Israel.

This course introduces basic physics simulation principles in Autodesk 3ds Max using MassFX, a system that makes it cost effective to animate rigid body objects, cloth, and particle systems. Author Brian Bradley introduces basic concepts such as gravity, drag, volume, and density, and how Newton's Laws of Motion can help you understand the interaction of objects with these unseen forces. Using the purpose built scene, Brian walks through the tools and features of the MassFX (PhysX) system, applying the principles discussed as he goes. Along the way, discover how to combine rigid bodies and constraints, mCloth fabrics, and mParticles geometry to create fairground-style effects.
One very nice feature of MassFX is the fact that animated characters can participate in simulations as either dynamic or kinematic rag dolls. Using the Dynamic option, a character come both affect and be affected by other objects in the simulation. Using the Kinematic option, a character can affect the simulation, but cannot be affected by it in any way. For example, an animated character could knock down an obstacle on its way-- maybe such as bursting through a prefractured window--but a large box falling on a Kinematic rag doll character would not in any way alter its behavior in the simulation.
To demonstrate how easy it is to create and edit a rag doll and its parameters, we have in our scene, as you can see, a simple character hierarchy created using standard 3ds Max bones. Now, although this is clearly a bipedal character, it does not have to be in order for a rag doll to be applied. We could use any set of linked bones in any kind of character configuration. We could just as easily have used a biped rig here, as the rag doll system will work very nicely with that also.
We cannot, however, currently use rag doll on a cat rig. To apply the rag doll, all we need to do is select any bone on our character, go up to the MassFX toolbar, and from the Ragdoll flyout, invoke either the Create Kinematic or Create Dynamic Ragdoll commands. In this instance, I want to create a dynamic ragdoll. Once the option is chosen, you can see we get an entire system of dynamic rigid bodies and constraints all applied to the bone hierarchy and all set up to generally mimic the range of motion found in the joints of bipedal creatures such as humans.
Straight away of course we can run the simulation. As you can see, our character falls dynamically to the floor. The constraints setup maybe a little off for our particular character setup but as an initial pass, this is not a bad start at all. And of course we can easily go in and refine the set up using all of the modifier and constraint options that we have worked with so far in our course. In this particular case for instance, we might want to get a better fit of our collision meshes of physical shapes to the bones.
We can do this by first of all deselecting what we have as our current selection includes constraints, and then we can switch our Selection filter to the bones and drag a selection around our character. Then, in the Multi-Object Editor, we can set our Physical Mesh Type to Convex instead of the default Capsule. This of course gives us a much better fit of the collision mesh to our bones. If I just switch over to our main camera view by using the C key and selecting that option from the list, you can see if we do at some point need to get back to editing our Ragdoll global properties, that we actually have a Ragdoll icon in the scene.
This was created when we added the ragdoll to our character. This can be selected like any regular 3ds Max object. Of course we will first of all need to alter our selection filter. This time I am just going to set this Helpers. Then when we select the Ragdoll icon, you see, we once again get access to all of our Ragdoll global parameters. With our Selection filter set to Helpers, we could also drag a marquee selection around our character and select all of the constraints in our ragdoll.
This means of course that we can edit all, all groups of them, again inside the Multi-Object Editor. Being able to edit multiple constraints, or indeed rigid body options in this manner can of course be a huge timesaver when we're working with a complex system such as a ragdoll. One thing we may find, if we have to work with a number of ragdolls in our scene, is that our viewport refresh, or frame rates can become a little sluggish. Oftentimes previewing simulations that have lots of constraint helpers constantly being redrawn can do that.
If we find ourselves struggling with this, we might want to disable the display of helpers in our viewport. We can do this of course by coming to the Display tab of our Command panel and using the Hide by Category and Helpers option. As you can see, creating and editing a MassFX ragdoll is a fairly straightforward process. Of course if we're wanting to set up an extremely accurate system, maybe for something like close-up digital double work, then we will need to spend quite a bit of time tweaking constraint settings, along of course with a judicious amount of trial-and-error testing.
But as with everything we've seen so far in MassFX, with good planning and attention to detail, we can get some very nice results from the system inside very acceptable time frames.

Peter Michael Kirk
Sir Peter Michael Kirk, (18 May 1928 – 17 April 1977) was a British Conservative politician and a junior minister in the governments of Alec Douglas-Home and Edward Heath.
The elder son of Kenneth Escott Kirk (later Bishop of Oxford), he was educated at Marlborough and at Trinity College, Oxford, where he was President of the Union.
At the 1955 general election, he was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Gravesend, defeating outgoing MP Sir Richard Acland, who had left the Labour Party to stand as an independent candidate. Kirk was re-elected in Gravesend at the 1959 election, but lost his seat at the 1964 general election to Labour's Albert Murray.
In February 1965, the former Conservative Chancellor and Deputy Prime Minister Rab Butler was elevated to the peerage and thereby gave up his parliamentary seat in Saffron Walden. Kirk was the successful candidate at the March 1965 by-election, and retained the seat until his death.
Under Alec Douglas-Home's premiership, Kirk was Under-Secretary of State for War from 1963 to 1964. When the Conservatives regained power in 1970, Prime Minister Edward Heath appointed him as Under-Secretary for Defence for the Royal Navy from 1970 to 1973. He led the first Tory delegation to the European Parliament in 1973.
He was married in August 1950 to Elizabeth Mary, daughter of Richard Brockbank Graham and Gertrude née Anson. They had 3 sons, including Matthew Kirk, who was later the British Ambassador to Finland.
Kirk was knighted in 1976. After his death in 1977 at the age of 48, the by-election for his Saffron Walden seat was won by the Conservative candidate Alan Haselhurst.

Vulcan Fury - Is it out there anywhere?

Re: Vulcan Fury - Is it out there anywhere?
There was a plan to novelize the script that Dorothy Fontana wrote. But I'm not sure if it ever got off the ground.
Earlier this year, Fontana had this to say about it:
It was a very complicated story. It was big.There was mystery. There was a chase. There was threat and danger. It was five parts that were really very full and complicated. The Vulcan Fury was actually one of the moons of Vulcan that was actually a weapons platform that had long bead dead and some happens tore-activate it. Which would then threaten the Enterprise which was in orbit and other Federation ships. The problem was that it became very expensive and the head of [game publisher] Interplay pulled it because it was too expensive and he didnt see getting his money back on it. I have asked [CBS Products Exec] Paula Block if I can take it, clear it,and make it into a novel. I havent got an answer back yet, but I think it would be a heck of a great story as a novel.
