I have an interview next week; should I prepare samples (details, calculation pages, etc) of my work from current or former projects at my current office, or should I just be prepared to answer questions regarding what kinds of projects I've worked on in the past?

If you got to the interview, they already assume you are technically proficient. They are looking at you as a person now; sell yourself and who you are.
Good lu ck
Posted 01 March 2012 - 08:52 PM
No CV to give, since I got my license via experience only. I think I will take a handful of sanitized calcs, but only because I wrote or updated the spreadsheets for most of what we use.
Thanks everyone.

I would yahoo some common interview questions (why do you want this job) tell me something unusual you have overcome at work....
Sometimes they ask non engineering related questions...
Posted 02 March 2012 - 03:47 AM
It's an extended resume...
Posted 02 March 2012 - 04:25 AM
Okay I amm slow, what's a CV?
Thank you, I was starting to feel a little off since I didn't know either....
Posted 02 March 2012 - 06:31 AM
Still, I think I'll provide an abbreviated list, since I've been doing this for twelve years at an average of a project a week for most of that time.
Posted 02 March 2012 - 01:12 PM
Okay I amm slow, what's a CV?
Aircraft carrier, non-nuclear.

Good luck.

Posted 04 March 2012 - 04:25 AM
I would be conversant in some non-engineering types of questions-- or something that has some tangential relaationship to engineering--i.e., the XL pipeline debacle in Nebraska. You don't need to know all of the details, however, you might want to address some aspects of the engineering challenges going through the Sand Hills-- if you have a civil background. I would do some research on the firm that you are interviewing with---- what do they do-- who are their previous and current clients-- what kind of work did they do for the clients-- you don't need to know the details, however, some ideas of what the firm did/does for like type of clients will demonstrate that you at least did some homework and can talk intelligently on work that the firm has done. Don't freak out over this-- however a couple of hours of web research will go a long way in showing that at least you have done some initial due diligence.
You might a lot of "fit" type of questions-- do you like to play softball-- bowl-- whatever the "culture" of the firm is. Finding out the culture of the firm is often instructive in anticipating what kind of questions you may be asked. It is not uncommon to ask all kinds of non engineering questions to be sure that you will be a valued team member if indeed the job is offered to you.
Good Luck.

Corporate data protected, without the container.
iOS 8 management tools go even further to control corporate data while protecting and preserving the user's personal data. Now IT can say goodbye to frustrating third-party containers and support the native iOS experience with confidence.
Learn more about managing iOS devices with MDM
Managed data flow.
Third-party mobile device management (MDM) solutions can build on the native management framework provided in iOS to manage the data flow between apps. This ensures that corporate data doesn't leak out to a user's personal apps and cloud services. Managed accounts and apps provide the foundation for keeping data secure without forcing employees to use clunky containers or workspaces.
All things managed.
Even the new extensibility features in iOS 8 like document providers and custom keyboards honor these managed data flow policies. Beyond managed accounts and apps, iOS 8 also provides new capabilities to manage and distribute books created in iBooks Author, PDF, and ePub formats. Safari domains can also be managed. Any document downloaded from a Safari domain is treated as a corporate managed asset, and all the data flow policies are enforced.
Features of iOS used to manage work and personal data:
- Managed apps
- Managed accounts
- Managed open-in
- Managed books
- Managed document providers
- Managed keyboards
- Managed Safari domains
- Per-app VPN
- Single sign-on
Security that's built in, not bolted on.
iOS devices offer enterprise-grade security right out of the box. Because Apple makes the hardware, software, and services that power all iOS devices, every element of the experience is built with security in mind.
Learn more about iOS security features
Expanded data protection.
iOS 8 takes security even further by protecting more data in ways that are robust yet seamless for the user. More built-in apps including Calendar, Contacts, Notes, and Reminders use file-level data protection to provide an enhanced level of encryption for all data at rest. This ensures that data stored in these apps are never accessible when the device is locked and are encrypted even when a device is compromised.
More secure and more productive.
Security shouldn't just be about locking down a device or restricting the user. Security should also be productive — giving users confidence to work in a way that's fluid and trusted. Enhancements to Mail in iOS 8 include support for S/MIME that can be enabled on a per message basis, as well as the ability to flag external email addresses to ensure only trusted colleagues receive sensitive messages. Touch ID is also more powerful than ever, and can be used to authenticate users safely and easily within apps. With iOS 8, security is never a burden for the end user or your IT team.
Features of iOS that secure devices, apps, and data:
- Secure boot chain
- System software authorization
- 256-bit AES hardware encryption
- Third-party app data protection
- Touch ID framework
- Activation lock
- Mail address filtering
- Per-message S/MIME for Mail
- Certificate single sign-on
- Data protection for additional built‑in first party apps
Fast, simple deployment at any scale.
In today's landscape, it's not enough to secure a device. Users also need to know how IT manages devices and trust that their privacy is protected. With iOS 8, IT teams can offer the freedom of BYOD with the control needed for corporate-owned devices — all with one consistent toolset.
Learn more about deployment
BYOD without big brother.
iOS 8 offers a redesigned MDM user interface, providing total transparency to users on how MDM features and policies are enforced on their devices. MDM enrollment is also an opt-in process, so employees can bring their own devices to work or decide to remove the MDM relationship at any time. And with managed accounts, apps, and documents in iOS 8, users can be sure that only corporate data is managed while personal data remains intact and untouched by IT.
Complete control for corporate devices.
In addition to supporting employee-owned devices, companies of all sizes are providing iOS devices to their users. iOS 8 provides a broad range of features to ensure total control of corporate-owned devices. With the Device Enrollment Program, devices can be auto-enrolled in MDM and supervised to ensure they never leave the control of IT. Once a device is supervised, additional controls such as global proxy and always-on VPN can be enabled. With iOS 8, IT teams can provide the freedom needed for BYOD and the control needed for corporate-owned devices using one consistent toolset.
Features of iOS for supporting BYOD:
Features of iOS for corporate-owned devices:
- Opt-in enrollment
- Over-the-air configuration
- Managed accounts, apps, and documents
- Managed books, domains, and extensions
- MDM user interface for greater transparency
- Selective wipe of corporate accounts, apps, and documents
- Device Enrollment Program (DEP)
- Lockable MDM, supervised mode
- Global proxy
- Always-on VPN
- Advanced content filtering
- Extensive device queries with full remote wipe
Inspiration is the new app standard.
IT can empower every line of business to be more productive by providing employees with the apps they need — whether off-the-shelf or custom apps.
Buy and distribute apps in volume.
The Volume Purchase Program (VPP) for Business makes it easy to buy and deploy apps and books in volume for employees. The program lets companies purchase apps from the App Store and assign them to users while retaining ownership. Participating businesses can even purchase Mac apps from the Mac App Store and books from the iBooks Store — making it easy for organizations to stock up on content that delivers companywide productivity.
Learn more about buying and distributing apps
Unleash the power of custom apps.
IT can make it their business to build game-changing apps for employees. The iOS SDK opens up a world of possibilities for developing native, custom apps for iPad and iPhone with the same tools used by Apple engineers to build iOS. Many organizations use in‑house talent to create innovative apps with the iOS Developer Enterprise Program or outsource app projects to a third-party developer with custom B2B apps.
Learn more about custom apps
Features of iOS for managing apps and content:
- Volume Purchase Program (VPP)
- Custom B2B apps
- iOS Developer Enterprise Program for in‑house apps
- Free productivity apps from Apple
- VPP managed app distribution
- Over-the-air in-house app distribution
- Managed apps
- Managed books
- App configuration
- Caching Server for optimized delivery
- Auto-install of apps on supervised devices

Intel IT Executive Insights
Strategies, innovation roadmaps, tools, and techniques on a variety of strategic IT topics
The Executive Insights document series was created to educate senior IT leaders about strategic IT topics. These documents provide insights to key Intel IT focus areas for each topic and also outline our strategy, innovation roadmap, tools, and techniques in a short, executive-level two-page format.
These Executive Insight documents offer access to a wide range of resources from IT@Intel, including white papers, videos, podcasts and more. We hope you find them useful as you explore these strategic IT topics.
Desktop Virtualization
Intel IT has embraced desktop virtualization as a core strategy to help us balance employee demands and business objectives to improve productivity. We've identified virtualization as a key enabling capacity to support IT consumerization, where employees have seamless and secure access to services on a full range of devices.
IT Strategic Planning
A solid strategic planning process is critical to the long-term success and health of any organization. Intel IT has been able to better respond to the dynamic nature of our business since implementing an IT strategic planning process in 2009. As a result, we have been able to better align IT investments with Intel corporate strategies and better manage our IT budget to improve the business value of IT.
Best Practices of PC Fleet Management
How can you empower 80,000 diverse employees in a global environment to be consistently productive? Intel IT has selected a powerful combination of software, hardware, and management practices that keep costs down and productivity high, while also preparing for the technologies of the future. These technologies and tools provide efficiencies that enable our employees to connect and collaborate with team members and business partners around the world. We are also implementing a strategy based on preventing problems before users are affected.
Moving to a Client-Aware Cloud
Intel IT is working to create a client-aware cloud environment where application delivery is based on the client device and the data being accessed.
IT Sustainability
At Intel IT, we think "green" every day under a formal IT Sustainability Program. In 2010, we implemented projects that reduced our consumption of IT-associated emissions by approximately 60,000 metric tons of CO2 and saved Intel's business approximately USD 5.8 million. We are committed members of the Climate Savers Computing Initiative and Green Grid, and adopted an internal IT goal to manage our IT Energy footprint and contribute to Intel's energy reduction of 5 percent per year from 2007 to 2012. Our efforts have been recognized with several industry awards, including the InfoWorld Green 15 award, for the past three years.
Cloud Computing
Cloud Computing and the usage models it brings is changing the way we inside Intel IT look at our architecture: from the client technology our employees will use to access business services and data to the data center infrastructure necessary to support those services. As a result, we have adopted a multi-year enterprise cloud computing strategy within Intel IT and are implementing an enterprise private cloud architecture to support Intel's business.
Platform Choices to Maximize Business Value
Intel IT selected a computing platform that supports high levels of productivity and mobility, plus a variety of compute models and device capabilities. This combination of hardware and software enables us to boost productivity, lower cost, and improve security.
Information Security
Information security can enable new usage models while protecting corporate assets. At Intel IT we realized we needed to rethink how we approach enterprise security. We cannot continue to spend all our resources trying to block every threat. Our new approach takes into consideration that the role of enterprise security is to protect and enable Intel's business, including supporting new usage models such as cloud computing, IT consumerization, and social computing.
Consumerization of IT
As mobile devices and technologies proliferate in the marketplace, an increasing number of employees at Intel want to use their personally owned devices within the enterprise. In addition, they want to choose the platforms, applications, online tools, and services to accomplish their jobs and manage their lives. This trend is often referred to as the "consumerization of IT." Intel IT recognizes that employees want access to information and applications anytime and anywhere, enabling them to work in more flexible and productive ways.
Using Technology to Drive Transformation
In this Executive Insight, we discuss how we use technology to drive workplace transformation and deliver business value to the enterprise. By empowering our employees with a variety of resources, we enhance employee productivity and significantly contribute to bottom line results.

Saybrook University issues statement in support of the Occupy Movement10/28/2011
On Friday, Oct. 28, Saybrook University issued the following statement:
Saybrook University's stated mission is to promote the creation of a more "humane, just and sustainable world." We call on local governments and the federal government to respect and support the Occupy movement protesters' rights of nonviolent speech and assembly.
Share your experience, opinion, and photos of the Occupy movement on the Saybrook Forum.
Alumna Lyn Freeman launches new, revolutionary, technique for post-cancer recovery10/21/2011
Saybrook Alumna Lyn Freeman has been one of the leading researchers on guided imagery as a healing technique. In 2005 she received the first National Institutes of Health grant to study it as a method of support for cancer survivors.
Treatment for cancer can often leave survivors exhausted, depleted, and drained -- but modern medicine had little to offer them. Freeman's research was designed to give them something to lead them back from "surviving" to "health."
Based on the Phase I and II results of her studies, the National Cancer Institute has directed Dr. Freeman's company, Mind Matters Research, to make its therapeutic intervention available to cancer patients and survivors.
While the company is launching the program in Alaska, there is every possibility that it will grow nationally. The Phase II grants Dr. Freeman received require Mind Matters Research to develop and clinically test their approach via tele-medicine and the web.
Dr. Freeman's ENVISION Behavioral Medicine Intervention is one of a kind anywhere, relying on brain plasticity strategies that are imagery-based.
Strategies include imagery-driven biofeedback to assess and modify heart rate variability and temperature; art, storytelling, and sound to effect physiology and mood state; mind mapping memory practices; and many other therapies that are implemented and evaluated on a daily basis with cancer patients and survivors. Methods utilized are personalized depending on participant symptoms and response. The Intervention optimizes health promoting changes in physiology, biochemistry and mood state.
Why do we think women aren't funny?10/20/2011
We can prove that women are as funny as men -- we just don't believe it.
A new study showed that when a group of people were given jokes ... but didn't know who wrote them ... they found a statistically insignificant difference between jokes written by men and women. '
But tell them who wrote the joke? Suddenly the jokes by men are the ones that give them belly laughs.
This is a new study, but it's an old problem. Last March Saybrook faculty member Steven Pritzker, a former Hollywood comedy writer, talked about how he'd only realized the contributions of women are ignored in the arts when he started editing The Encyclopedia of Creativity.
He nailed the problem that researchers at the UC San Diego just identified. The bad news -- it's been going on for centuries. The good news? It's getting better.

Recently The Biscayne Institutes of Health & Living, founded and directed by Saybrook Mind-Body Medicine faculty member Marie DiCowden, was named one of 16 best practices for community integration of individuals with brain injury out of 253 surveyed world wide by the Univeristy of Toronto for an upcomming publication.
The Biscayne Institute of Health & Living cares for hundreds of people, from young children to the elderly: it offers the community wellness programs, health education, integrative primary care programs, and rehabilitation; it has a school on premises to serve special needs children and youth so that their school and health care treatments are integrated at the same site; and they train graduate level health care providers from many disciplines in health care and integrative medicine.
"The idea is that we have a center where people don't just come when they're sick, but that provides for the needs of themselves, and their family, at all times," DiCowden says. "It's integrated into the school and the medical programs, and we have a number of activities that extend beyond physical or mental issues into health issue broadly."
Biscayne has also recently received the Florida State Surgeon General's Award Health Innovation, Prevention and Management Award.
The culture of Kodak: It's hard not to fall when you're on top of the world10/04/2011
Kodak is an iconic company – almost synonymous with film and photography.
It may soon become synonymous with major collapse as well: the epitome of a once invincible company that couldn't keep up.
In the wake of predictions that Kodak may file for bankruptcy, economists will likely go over the company's business decisions for years to come. But over at the Rethinking Complexity blog, Dennis Rebelo asks: what if Kodak's problems were cultural?
Kodak reached a pinnacle where it could afford to be insular – and did. "By sequestering itself, the organization created the anti-culture of success," Rebelo writes. "The culture it carved out disabled "fresh," innovative thinking. Product development, for example, requires market engagement. Kodak didn't even attend the Consumer Electronic Show (or CES) until 2004—amazing evidence of their lack of consumer orientation."
To prosper at the top, he suggests, companies and individuals must move from striving for security to finding value in creation and innovation for its own sake – a process Abraham Maslow called "Theory Z."
It's a fascinating essay. Read it here.

Monterey Terrorism & Research Education Program
Jeffrey M. Bale
In order to clarify the focus of MonTREP's research, it may be worthwhile to make a few preliminary remarks about terrorism and the general categories of terrorist groups. Perhaps the first desideratum should be to draw a clear analytical distinction between "terrorism" in the strict sense of the term and other types of non-state violence, a distinction that unfortunately needs to be made at the outset precisely because most definitions of terrorism – including those employed by many government agencies[1] – are imprecise if not seriously misleading. Perhaps the best way to distinguish between terrorism and other forms of violence is to recognize that most acts of violence are dyadic, i.e., they involve only two parties or protagonists, the perpetrator(s) and the victim(s):
Perpetrator(s) → Victim(s)
In marked contrast, bona fide acts of terrorism are triadic, i.e., they involve three parties or protagonists, the perpetrator(s), the victim(s), and a wider target audience (or audiences):
Perpetrator(s) → Victim(s) → Wider Target Audience(s)
In short, terrorism is violence that is consciously carried out by the perpetrator(s) primarily in order to influence the attitudes and behavior of a wider target audience (or multiple target audiences).[2] It is, as Brian Jenkins and others have aptly pointed out, violence for psychological effect.[3]
One of the many perverse ironies of terrorism is that, although only the actual victims suffer its effects in the most direct and brutal manner, their importance is strictly secondary and derives principally from the fact that they have been specifically selected because they are viewed as symbolizing something larger or representing a broader category of persons. To put it another way, the most important nexus in any terrorist act is between the perpetrators and the target audience(s) they are trying to influence, and in that sense the actual victims are merely an instrument used by the perpetrators to send messages to those wider audiences. It follows from this that targeted assassinations of particular individuals (e.g., murders of particularly effective or brutal policemen) or attacks that are solely designed to kill large numbers of people (e.g., massacres) are not, strictly speaking, acts of terrorism. They would only constitute acts of terrorism if their primary purpose was to traumatize and influence the behavior of wider target audiences, i.e., people other than the actual victims. In many real-world cases, of course, attacks are carried out for both physically destructive and such psychologically manipulative reasons, but the latter would have to predominate in the eyes of the perpetrators if such attacks are to be regarded as terrorism per se. Hence violent acts that inadvertently end up traumatizing people other than the actual victim, e.g., a series of rapes in a particular neighborhood, should not be characterized as acts of terrorism.
Thus terrorism is nothing more than a violent tactic or technique of psychological manipulation, and like other techniques it can be used by anyone, whatever their ideological orientation or relationship to the state. It can be employed on behalf of state power or in opposition to state power, by left-wingers, right-wingers, or centrists, by the irreligious or the religious, and for an infinite variety of causes. One man's terrorist is therefore not another man's freedom fighter, as many claim; rather, one man's terrorist should invariably also be another man's terrorist, since regardless of the underlying cause involved – or whether one sympathizes with or deplores it – a terrorist can be identified purely by the methods he or she chooses to employ. It follows that only those organized groups that rely primarily on terrorist techniques can legitimately be described as terrorist groups.
However, it should be emphasized that MonTREP carries out research on both violence by non-state actors and on unconventional state-sponsored violence, even when these do not technically fall into the category of terrorism in this carefully delimited sense.
The Main Categories of Non-State Terrorist Groups
Now that the meaning of the term "terrorism" has been clarified, the principal ideological categories of non-state terrorists in recent decades need to be identified. There are four primary types of sub-national terrorist groups that have had historical significance during and after the Cold War:
Some would also add single-issue groups to this list, i.e., groups relying on terrorism that obsessively focus on very specific or relatively narrowly-defined causes of various sorts. This category includes organizations from all sides of the political spectrum, e.g., animal rights groups such as the Animal Liberation Front (ALF); anti-communist groups such as the Cuban exile organization Omega 7, the Comando de Caça aos Comunistas (CCC: Communist-Hunting Commando) in Brazil, and the Alianza Anticomunista Argentina (AAA: Argentine Anti-Communist Alliance or Triple A) in Argentina; and anti-abortion groups such as the Army of God (AOG) in the United States. Note, however, that these violent single-issue groups almost always fall within one of the broader ideological categories listed above, e.g., anti-abortion groups tend to fall into the Christian religious terrorist category and radical ecological groups tend to fall into the secular left-wing or secular right-wing terrorist categories, and for that very reason they should not be lumped into a separate ideological category.
Needless to say, groups from each of these four broad categories have distinct ideologies that help to explain what they are for and against, who their friends and enemies are, and what targets they believe they can legitimately attack, but it is also the case that even superficially similar groups within each of these categories and subcategories have their own distinctive and often idiosyncratic doctrines. Moreover, it should be emphasized that these major categories of terrorism are not entirely discrete. Some essentially ethno-nationalist terrorist groups, e.g., have had a Marxist gloss (the PKK, factions of ETA), a religious gloss (certain Sikh groups), or a combination of the two (factions of the IRA). In more recent times, essentially religious terrorist groups have also displayed acute nationalist sentiments (the Islamist groups HAMĀS and al- Jihād al-Islāmī in Palestine), and essentially ethno-nationalist terrorist groups have adopted an increasingly prominent religious coloration (important pro-Islamist factions within the Chechen separatist movement, such as that of Shamil Basayev).[4] These types of complexities need to be kept in mind when considering their motivations.
[1] Note, e.g., the definition from Title 22 of the U.S. Code, Section 2656f(d): "Terrorism means premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience." See www.cia.gov/terrorism/faqs.html. Here there is one unnecessary restriction (e.g., terrorism can be "religiously motivated" or even "economically motivated" as well as "politically motivated") and two outright errors (terrorism is not always perpetrated against "noncombatant targets," and it is not only carried out by "subnational groups" or "clandestine agents" – the worst perpetrators of terrorism, historically speaking, have been states, who often openly employ their own security forces instead of "clandestine agents"), and the quintessential feature of terrorism – the carrying out of violence in order to influence a wider target audience – is wrongly qualified with "usually." See note 3 below.
[2] The one qualification that needs to be made here is that the term "terrorism" is only applicable in the context of asymmetrical conflicts, since as every good general knows breaking the morale of the enemy is an essential aspect of conventional military operations. Yet open warfare between the official military establishments of rival states, even when it encompasses violent attacks that are specifically intended to influence the psychological state, either of enemy troops or the enemy civilian population, cannot and should not be conflated with terrorism proper. One can certainly speak of atrocities or war crimes in the context of conventional war, but attempting to break the morale of the enemy in such a context can best be characterized as psychological warfare.
[3] The best collection and analysis of definitions of terrorism can be found in Alex P. Schmid and Albert J. Jongman, Political Terrorism: A New Guide to Actors, Authors, Concepts, Data Bases, Theories and Literature (Amsterdam: North-Holland, 1988), especially pp. 1- 38. Many of the better definitions highlighted therein emphasize the centrality of carrying out violent actions with the conscious intention of exerting a psychological impact on a wider target audience. Although this work is now out-of-date and is crying out for a new edition, it is still the best single introduction to terrorism. The formal definition that MonTREP director and MIIS associate professor Jeffrey M. Bale has been using in his own classes on terrorism for over twenty years is as follows: "Terrorism is the use or threatened use of violence, directed against victims selected for their symbolic or representative value, as a means of instilling anxiety in, transmitting one or more messages to, and thereby manipulating the attitudes and behavior of a wider target audience or audiences."
[4] The mixed religious and nationalist motivations of HAMĀS and al-Jihād al-Islāmī are widely recognized, but it is the former that clearly predominates in these two groups (in contradistinction to the motives of their political rivals in the PLO). For the "conversion" of certain key Chechen separatist factions to Islamism and their increasing resort to terrorism, see Julie Wilhelmsen, "Between a Rock and a Hard Place: The Islamisation of the Chechen Separatist Movement," Europe-Asia Studies 57:1 (January 2005), pp. 38-46; and Jeffrey M. Bale, "The Chechen Resistance and Radiological Terrorism," unpublished report, July 2003. By "Islamism" we are referring to a radically anti-secular and anti-Western Islamic political ideology with both revolutionary and revivalist elements. The principal ideological characteristics of Islamism in all of its forms are an outright rejection of Western secular values, an intransigent resistance to "infidel" political, economic, social, or cultural influence over the Muslim world, an extreme hostility towards less committed and militant Muslims (who are sometimes even denounced as "apostates" or "infidels," the process known as takfīr), and an insistence on the establishment of an Islamic state governed by a rigid, puritanical application of the shāri`a. See Jeffrey M. Bale, "Islamism and Totalitarianism," Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions 10:2 (June 2009), esp. pp. 79-80. For more on Islamist doctrine(s), compare Emmanuel Sivan, Radical Islam: Medieval Theology and Modern Politics (New Haven: Yale University, 1990); Abderrahim Lamchichi, L'islamisme politique (Paris: Harmattan, 2001); and Ibrahim M. Abu-Rabi`, Intellectual Origins of Islamic Resurgence in the Modern Arab World (Albany: SUNY, 1996). See also the contrasting interpretations found in Martin Kramer, ed., The Islamism Debate (Tel Aviv: Tel Aviv University/Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies, 1997).

Before They Are Hanged: The First Law, Book Two (First Law #02)by Joe Abercrombie
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Superior Glokta has a problem. How do you defend a city surrounded by enemies and riddled with traitors, when your allies can by no means be trusted, and your predecessor vanished without a trace? It's enough to make a torturer want to run — if he could even walk without a stick.
Northmen have spilled over the border of Angland and are spreading fire and death across the frozen country. Crown Prince Ladisla is poised to drive them back and win undying glory. There is only one problem — he commands the worst-armed, worst-trained, worst-led army in the world.
And Bayaz, the First of the Magi, is leading a party of bold adventurers on a perilous mission through the ruins of the past. The most hated woman in the South, the most feared man in the North, and the most selfish boy in the Union make a strange alliance, but a deadly one. They might even stand a chance of saving mankind from the Eaters — if they didn't hate each other quite so much.
Ancient secrets will be uncovered. Bloody battles will be won and lost. Bitter enemies will be forgiven — but not before they are hanged.
"This grim and vivid sequel to 2007's The Blade Itself transcends its middle volume status, keeping the reader engaged with complicated plotting and intriguing character development. As savage Northmen invade Angland, the northernmost province of the unwieldy Union, honorable, hard-working Union soldier Colonel West watches his notions of civilized warfare erode in one horrible battle after another. In Dagoska, a southern city threatened by Gurkish soldiers and left undefended as Union troops head to Angland, dreadfully maimed Inquisitor Glokta employs tortures and deceptions to ferret out conspiracies against the king. Ignoring these worldly concerns, disreputable magus Bayaz of Calcis drives a squabbling little band through a wasteland in search of a relic that can open a gate to the realm of demons. Abercrombie leavens the bloody action with moments of dark humor, developing a story suffused with a rich understanding of human darkness and light." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"A tight little piece of fiction. Before They Are Hanged grabs you and drags you along." SFSite.com
"Before They Are Hanged is an excellent sequel from an author writing compelling, character-driven, adult fantasy, for readers who want to be entertained as well as challenged." SFF World
"The story is by turns darkly humorous and incredibly well observed. The sheer number of brilliantly drawn characters is a joy to read and Abercrombie once again proves he is deft at changing voice as he changes point of view." Dreamwatch
"Dark, deeply ironic and full of character gems that will appeal to your cynical side, Before They Are Hanged is as brilliant as its predecessor." SF Revu
Superior Glokta has a problem. How can he defend a city surrounded by enemies and riddled with traitors, when his allies can by no means be trusted? Ancient secrets will be uncovered and bitter enemies will be forgiven — but not before they are hanged — in this sequel to The Blade Itself.

China - Business Internships
Program Highlights | Eligibility | Academics | Accommodations & Meals | Optional Travel & Activities | Program Dates | Financial Considerations | Application and Selection | Requirements | Additional Information & Disclaimers
The 2015 Summer Global Internship Program in Hong Kong and Shanghai provides 8-10 week internships in various business environments including investment banks, mid-sized manufacturers, retailers, and gaming companies, and more. This program is especially suitable for students who prefer an intense, independent internship experience - one that will challenge them to utilize their academic knowledge as they gain experience in a real-world business setting. Our 2014 interns worked for various companies, in fields ranging from travel to manufacturing.
Example of a past Internship Final Project:
Gretchen Hughes (Forcome Co Ltd):
It's an experience unlike anything I could've received in the classroom and one of the best decisions I've made throughout my time at college.
-Gretchen Hughes
It [changed] my understanding of myself and my future career.
-Charles Zhang
Visit the Global Internship Ambassador page for more.
The 2015 Summer Global Internship Program is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors in good academic standing. Preference is given to those who will be returning to campus as full-time students in Fall 2015. Successful candidates will have at minimum a basic knowledge of the country's history and current socio-economic environment. There is no language requirement for the program and English is spoken in many business settings. The level of English, however, may vary, especially in non-business settings. Some knowledge of Cantonese or Mandarin may therefore be useful and participants are advised to learn some basic phrases in advance of their program.
Participants are encouraged to use this internship to fulfill the experiential learning requirement of the core curriculum or to earn independent learning program credit. Check with your major department and/or the Internship Office to determine eligibility and obtain registration information. Check with student accounts for information on the cost of summer internship credits.
Accommodations & Meals
Participants are responsible for the cost of their accommodations and food. Internship supervisors and/or the Local Program Coordinator will assist participants in obtaining accommodation for the period of their internship. They will also support students throughout their internships and provide assistance in case of emergency.
The food is fantastic and I can't get enough of it!
-Gretchen Hughes
Optional Travel & Activities
Program participants are free to undertake travel and other activities that do not interfere with their internship responsibilities. The Local Program Coordinator is available to advise on and assist with individual travel arrangements and also organizes local/regional activities for the intern cohort during the program.
Program Dates
Individual internship dates vary but generally start in late May and last from 8-10 weeks.
Financial Considerations
The approximate cost for participation in an 8-week internship program is $3650 minus any fellowship awarded (see below). This estimate includes airfare ($1800); accommodations ($950); food ($800); local transportation ($800). Living expenses in the two locales may vary (Hong Kong generally has a higher cost-of-living than Shanghai). Additional costs such as tuition credit, health insurance (required), phone costs, and travel within the country are also the responsibility of the participant.
Program Fellowships: The Center for Global Education (CGE) supports the Global Internship Program with fellowships that partially cover the cost of participation. Amounts are determined by CGE; past awards have ranged from $500-$3000. Fellowship recipients are required to prepare reports, a final visual project, and to help share their experiences with the CSB/SJU community in the year following their program at various events at and around CSB/SJU.
The application deadline is Monday, January 12, 2015, at noon. All application materials, including letters of reference, should be submitted by the application deadline in order to be considered complete and on time. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact/request their references at least 2 weeks prior to the application deadline.
All applications are considered on the basis of merit. First round applications, however, will receive preference in terms of acceptance and funding. Second round applicants will be considered on a space-available basis, but may or may not receive fellowship funding.
Requirements of Candidates Selected for Program Participation
- Passport: By March 1, 2015 Program participants must submit or show proof of passport that is valid through January 31, 2015.
- Terms and Conditions Document (signed)
- Health and Emergency Contact Form (completed)
- Short Term, Off-Campus Program Waiver and Release Form (signed)
- ISIC insurance card through the Office of Education Abroad ($25 for basic coverage).

"I ordered these with the name of my one year old son to use as thank-you cards and for short "letters" to the grandparents. They are super cute! I love the animal design, and they are just the right size for a short & sweet note. I also ordered the matching address labels which look great. Will re-order both in the future."
"I ordered these cards to use for Thank yous after my son's birthday party. I think they are perfect for a 2 year old! =) I like the feel of the paper and the design is just cute enough. It is not over done. Looks perfect on the size paper. I can't wait to send them out after his party."
"I actually used this card as an invitation for my son's birthday Party. All the details fit perfectly on the back, and the trucks looked like they are on their way to the party. Beautiful design, and got a great deal on them as well. Only thing is I had to fix the font on the front to include capital letters. Great service, and I got my order much sooner than expected."
"I loved this card. The card quality is very nice and the card is just the right size. I got the plain envelopes and they are of good quality too. 100% satisfied."

Jefferson County Sheriff John P. Burns said Thursday morning that because of a shortage of deputies, he no longer will be able to provide a security detail for Watertown International Airport near Dexter.
Mr. Burns said that since November, he has filed several requests to fill vacancies left by deputies who have retired, been promoted or moved on to other law enforcement agencies.
The county thus far has refused to grant his requests, he said.
With the retirement Thursday of Deputy Joseph D. Murtha, Mr. Burns said, his personnel deficit will go from three to four and he will have to suspend airport security operations after Thursday afternoons flights.
My thought on it is this, I have criminal complaints that we have to respond to. To me, that is more important than being there for somebody carrying on an airplane more than 3� ounces of shampoo, he said.
County Administrator Robert F. Hagemann III said the countys contract with the Transportation Security Administration obliges it to provide security at the airport.
It is a requirement throughout the country. The numbers will vary based on the size of the airport, Mr. Hagemann said.
Mr. Burns said the duties of the deputies include assisting with the screening of passengers by conducting checks on suspicious identification credentials and preventing passengers from sneaking weapons onboard airplanes.
When the county took over the airport in 2006, the TSA provided funds to subsidize the salaries of four deputies to provide security at the airport.
According to Mr. Hagemann, as time went on, the TSA began to ratchet back the subsidies it had been providing to the county.
Mr. Hagemann said the county is aware of the vacancies in the sheriffs staff.
It is something that has to be addressed, he said. We just have to figure out the manpower problem, and I know we will.
Mr. Hagemann said that while it was true the sheriff had been submitting requests since November, the county had requested background information about the department from the sheriff in March 2012 to assess the need to fill openings, but never heard anything back.
Even if new deputies were hired immediately, it would be early summer before they would be on full duty. In the meantime, the sheriff would have to pull deputies from road patrol to cover the airport. Deputies spend about four hours a day at the airport during weekdays, when there are two flights a day. They spend less time at the airport on weekends, which have only one daily flight.
Mr. Burns, who has been sparring with the county Legislature recently over allegations of misconduct in his department and jail overcrowding, said the decision to remove deputies from the airport security detail was driven by the prerogative to keep people on the road answering complaints and taking care of our county residents and was not a move to force the county to a decision on hiring more deputies.
There are three deputy positions and one sergeants position open in the department.
The Aviation and Transportation Act of 2001 requires at least one law enforcement officer at each airport security screening location.

Monmouth, IL -- The Beloit College Women's Soccer team never really had a chance to get going in their 7-0 Midwest Conference loss at Monmouth College on Saturday.
After 16 scoreless minutes the Fighting Scots scored three times in a 9:30 span to take control of the contest. They added their last four goals over a 15-minute span in the second half on the way to the win.
MC outshot the Buccaneers 22-1. Alex Spirov made seven saves in goal for Beloit.
The Bucs look to get things turned around on the home field next weekend when they host Illinois College on Saturday and Knox College Sunday. Both games at the Strong Complex Soccer Field begin at 11:00 a.m.

Despite a re-circulating e-mail that cell phone users must put their phones on the do not call registery, the Federal Trade Commission reports it is still not necessary to register those numbers to keep unwanted calls away.
As the number of phone numbers on the National Do Not Call (DNC) Registry surpassed 139 million, the Federal Trade Commission has reiterated that despite the claims made in e-mails circulating on the Internet, consumers should not be concerned that their cell phone numbers will be released to telemarketers at any time in the near future.
In addition, according to the agency, it is not necessary to register cell phone numbers on the DNC Registry to be protected from most telemarketing calls to cell phones.
The truth about cell phones and the DNC Registry is:
â¢Contrary to the e-mails, cell phone numbers are not being released to telemarketers, and people will not soon be getting telemarketing calls on their cell phone.
â¢There is NO deadline by which a person must register their cell phone number on the registry.
â¢Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers. Automated dialers are standard in the industry, so most telemarketers are barred from calling consumers on their cell phones without their consent.
â¢The national associations representing telemarketers have stated that their clients do not intend to start calling consumers' cell phones.
â¢There is only one DNC Registry. There is no separate registry for cell phones.
â¢The DNC Registry accepts registrations from both cell phones and land lines. Owners of phones must call from the phone number that they want to register. If a person registers online, you must respond to a confirmation e-mail.
â¢While the telecommunications industry has been discussing the possibility of creating a wireless 411 directory, according to the FCC, even if a wireless 411 directory is established, most telemarketing calls to cell phones would still be illegal, regardless of whether the number is listed on the federal government's National Do Not Call Registry.
To learn more about the National DNC Registry and the rules that enforce it, visit the FTC at www.ftc.gov or the FCC at www.fcc.gov.
For more information about a planned "wireless 411" directory, visit http://www.iq411.com/wireless411/index.shtml.
The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish (bilingual counselors are available to take complaints), or to get free information on any of 150 consumer topics, call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357), or use the complaint form at http://www.ftc.gov.
The FTC enters Internet, telemarketing, identity theft, and other fraud-related complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

Portland grocery-store aisles are lands of salty, fatty opportunity for snack-food fans, but when it comes to a tortilla chip that sets the crispy gold standard, it's all about locally made Juanita's. The salt-to-oil ratio sets Juanita's tortilla chips apart from Tostitos and their brethren. Made in Hood River since 1977, the chips fried up by this family-owned tortilla and Mexican-food factory are an obsession for locals looking to indulge in a guacamole-and-salsa bender.
Juana Dominguez opened her factory in Hood River after years of working in Californian frozen-tortilla companies during the 1950s. The chips are deceptively simple: stone-ground-corn masa flour, a "touch of lime," salt and water. "Our chip is different from others because we just learned to make it better without adding additional chemicals to make it taste better," explains Joe Dominguez, vice president of Juanita's. Agreed. Once the bag is open, it's almost impossible to stop cramming them into your mouth. The lifespan of one red bag of Juanita's in my house: three days. That's it. That's three days of eating nothing but chips for every snack, pre- and post meal. The only thing better than these greasy, salty triangles of deliciousness? Eating 'em with a pint of Emerald Valley salsa.
EAT: Juanita's Corn Tortilla Chips are available at Whole Foods, Safeway, Fred Meyer, WinCo Foods and online. $1.99 for a 15-ounce bag. Info at juanitasfinefoods.com.

that does help. How did you work out the storage of the chocolates? Do you mainly do enrobed or molded pieces?
I do a mix of enrobed and molded pieces, and the ratio is still working itself out. I won't be storing chocolate there much, if at all, since I'm just making to order and not maintaining a stock.
One of the challenges of working in a space that's not just mine is how to manage air-drying/crusting times. Ultimately, I'm going to investigate getting some sort of enclosed cabinet that I can use for that (like this one, although that's really much bigger than I need), but for now I'll just be managing my work times around their schedule. Fortunately, they are closed on Sundays, so I can leave things out overnight on Saturday.
Anyone have any thoughts on whether using a fan would help speed up this process? Although I expect that sometimes I'll have to "cheat" and use the refrigerator.

Not exactly. There would be a series of events leading up to the loss of the reactor core and any number of those events would trigger a site-area or general emergency. This in turn would involve state and local officials evaluating the situation and deciding on evacuation or shelter-in-place options.

And I don't know much about nuclear power plants. I just know that I can see it from my house and that a meltdown would be bad.

Natural Skin Care List
Herbal Choice Mari Natural and Organic Skin Care Products
Truly Natural Body and Skin Care Products without Synthetic Preservatives
- USDA certified organic skin care
Herbal Choice Mari is Committed to Offering One of the Most Natural Organic Skin Care Products Available!Our philosophy is reflected in the USDA Certified organic skin care products that we produce. We believe that what you put on the outside affects your inside. That is why the Herbal Choice Mari line provides over 150 vegan organic skin care care products. Herbal Choice Mari is fully dedicated to manufacturing natural skin care products that are 100% chemical free and only contain plant based ingredients that you can trust to put on your body.
If it is Not Certified USDA Organic Then it CANNOT Be Called Organic.Unlike other so called "organic skin care brands" that are NOT certified and are illegally called organic or made with organic under the rules of the National Organic Program (NOP), Herbal Choice Mari is legally USDA certified as Organic and Made with Organic Ingredients. Our manufacturing facility is also certified as organic in addition to over a hundred USDA certified skin care products (with the USDA Seal) and another fifty body care products certified as Made with Organic. Herbal Choice Mari has one of the largest and most comprehensive Organic Skin and Body Care ranges on the market.
Beware of Organic Beauty Product Imitations and CheatersWe are amazed at how many so called reputable skin care companies are illegally using the term Organic or Made with Organic on their labels and websites. Including some well known companies that Google ranks high under the search term Organic Skin Care. Learn how some companies try to cheat or confuse consumers into believing their products are organic.
3 Ways to Check if Your Organic Skin and Body Care Products are Legally Certified USDA OrganicStep 1: Before you buy online ask for a copy of the Organic Certificate (learn why you must ask for both organic certificates not just one). Also be aware that EVERY organic product must be listed on the certificate. See our organic certification.
Step 2: Check the back of the product labels for the Certified organic by: (Name of Certifying Agency). There are many different certifiers some stricter than others, but on a whole they are about the same.
Step 3: Look for the USDA Seal on the front of the label if organic, or for the Made with Organic statement on the front of the label. However, many companies are using the Made with Organic statement on the front of the label illegally. So it is best to double check with Step 1 and Step 2 above.
What does 100% Chemical Free Products Mean?This means that our natural skin and body care products are free of additives, parabens, synthetic fragrances and preservatives, including detergents such as sodium laureth sulphate or any other similar sulphates or sulfoacetate. We only make 100% natural, certified USDA organic skin and body care products that offer high performance and never compromise your health.
10 Reasons Why You Should Only Use Herbal Choice Mari1) Certified Organic: We are taking a meaningful step on behalf of organic integrity and we now have our certification under the USDA National Organic Program. Our manufacturing facility, and over 100 of our products and their ingredients have all been certified by the respective agencies within the USDA National Organic Program.
2) 100% Pure and Natural: We encourage you to compare our organic facial skin care products and natural body care ingredients with any other brand. Read the ingredient label carefully, not just the front of the packaging that may say natural or organic however may contain synthetic preservatives and fragrance. Do some research and compare. You will quickly discover that Herbal Choice Mari carries one of the purest, all natural and organic skin and body care products available. See our testimonial page, we believe in sharing first-hand experiences of real people!
3) Vegan and Cruelty Free: Our products have not been tested on animals and do not contain insect or animal ingredients. For example we do not use silk, this ingredient is used by many manufacturers in their skin care products, conditioners, lotions, hair styling mousse and makeup. The silk thread is produced by boiling the silkworm cocoon alive. In order to produce approximately one hundred grams of pure silk, it is estimated that fifteen hundred chrysalis have to die. Also we do not use carmine dye in our natural skin care products. Carmine is a red dye used in lip colors, makeup and even in facial skin care products. It is made by crushing the shells of the cochineal beetle into a fine powder. Yes, there could be beetles in your makeup! Beeswax is another natural ingredient many other companies use to make natural and organic face creams and body lotions. No need to worry, as we do not use beeswax or any other insect ingredients in our vegan skin care products. No synthetics are added to our natural beauty products, such as D&C Red #7, D&C Red #6, or FD&C No. 40 which are 100% synthetic and derived from coal tar.
4) Chemical Free: We do not believe in mixing synthetic ingredients, such as preservatives in with natural. You would be surprised how many so called 100% pure skin care products contain synthetic ingredients such as preservatives, fragrances or parfum (perfume). We only use natural methods to preserve our organic skin and body care products.
5) Keeping it Real: Our natural skin and body care products do not have fancy labeling or packaging. Instead we prefer to offer you high quality ingredients. Many consumers buying beauty products are usually paying for the name, not the product.
6) Very Affordable: Unlike other skin care companies Herbal Choice Mari makes its own products in our organic certified facility in the USA, for this reason we are able to offer the best value for your hard earned money. Compare our prices to other organic skin care lines and see for yourself. Herbal Choice Mari is 20% to 30% less expensive when you compare the price per ounce and that is before any discounts and sale prices.
7) Packed in Glass: Almost all of our organic facial skin care products come in a glass. Our blue glass provides superior protection from light degradation. For safety reasons, some of our body care products, which are used in showers, are packed in plastic that are made without BPA.
8) Non-GMO: This applies to all our certified organic products, by default certified organic ingredients are Non-GMO. Some purists will argue that there has been reports of cross contamination of GMO crops with organic crops. If this does occur it would be limited to specific crops that are only available as GMO for example soy, corn and wheat. In addition we use very few organic ingredients that originate from these types of crops, so the chances of any cross contamination with their GMO counterparts is close to zero. We are confident to make the claim that our organic skin and body care products are Non-GMO.
9) Highly Rated: Herbal Choice Mari pure and natural skin and body products have received high ratings for purity.
10) A Safer Alternative: According to the American Cancer Society "Approximately one in three women in the United States will develop cancer over her lifetime". Although not yet proven, it is suspected that the thousands of chemicals in our health, beauty and food products may be a contributing factor. Why take the chance, start reducing your chemical exposure today, only use all natural and chemical free beauty products by Herbal Choice Mari.
Try it Risk-Free, the Organic Ingredients May be Exactly What Your Skin Needs.We are so confident that you will be satisfied we offer a 60 Day money back guarantee** and free samples. It is now easier than ever for you to change your skin and body care program to be 100% pure, vegan, cruelty free, all natural and USDA certified organic.
