It's summer and the glowing sun outside coupled with the ocean breeze remind me of renewal and introspection. Are you with me?
New eating habits, a good workout regimen, and new favorite restaurant. New career may be? Many individuals I come in to contact with contemplate their career. They are satisfied with their existing role, and they are successful, their organization is successful and they have a sturdy title, relatively large staff and job security. Yet may be that's the problem. Too much satisfaction is the enemy of innovation and growth. They tell me they have an aching within that desires change. They don't feel challenged anymore. That feeling of confidence is making them feel almost bored. They yearn for excitement, intimidation and that adrenalin rush of sink or swim.
I tell them, your instincts are telling you its time to swim, so swim. To them and to you, who are even considering the possibility of a career change, or position change for that matter, I offer the following:
1. Are you ready to hit the waves?
Start by weighing the risks. Know that there always will be that. Family, your identity, and financial responsibilities will always be there, but so will fear. The fear of change and the fear of the unknown. At some point you would have to push away the fear and swim with the waves. Once you accept that reality, your mind and heart will unite and you will be ready to make the proper recourse to weight the real costs and benefits for your decision, without the common denominator of fear.
2. Go for the plunge!
At some point the weighting would need to stop. The decision must be made. Plan your course with plan B's along the way and start what will undoubtedly feel like an uphill or upstream swim.
3. Enroll an Audience and Cheerleaders
You 're going to need all the emotional support you can get. Set yourself up to be around supportive, calm and clear people. Your network will help you get the position you want, but your support system is the one that will get you through this phase of the game. The AA mentality applies here. The buddy system is meant to create accountability. When you share what you are doing with an invested person, you are more likely to persevere. We all like to achieve and part of achievement is the reinforcements we get along the way. Stay on course and celebrate small wins.
4. Assess the Course and foresee Obstacles
Get a clear assessment of your knowledge, skills, abilities and network. It doesn't mean you can't expand on them, but you want to be realistic in setting your goals. Many people assume that because they like a type of job, they have to bend backwards to fit themselves within its walls. Think about industry, and organization type, the everyday nuances, and the type of people you want to be working with, the key players and whom you are already connected to. When I do career assessments with my clients, we do a lot of work together. It is deep. Often times, they themselves are shocked at how far they were from their vision, by the time we complete and interpret all the quantitative and qualitative data. The research is imperative. Let me say that again: the research is imperative. The reality is we are all born with certain traits that make us who we are, are family and upbringing solidify them as well. So I always recommend going after something you know you are good and knowledgeable at, rather than going after something you think you like. The other neat thing is that we get attracted to people whom we can relate to, so your network of people will serve you better being that you have built them through "connections" rather than ambiguity. At least that's the network that we need to be making. Not random and without follow-up. Challenge is good, complication not so much.
5. Get on the Diving Board and Jump.
I like the analogy of the diving board because when you get on a diving board, it means three things: 1. You are making the conscious effort to jump and you know it's going to be a high jump, 2. You are letting the world know you are jumping, and 3. When you are up in the air, there is no way going back. When you started this journey, you had internal conversations about it. May be you discussed it with a significant other, a colleague or a family member. But your paradigm is still the same. You are in comfort zone. You get the paycheck and the boss still assumes you will be at the next monthly meeting. If you stop here, you don't have to fear. You are not committed to anything. You didn't loose anything, but you also didn't gain anything. Half the battle is the mental decision, but the other half is get on that diving board. You have to make the decision irrevocable. Our brains are trained to form habits. We are creatures of repetition. So unless the walls of the maze are reset, our brains will command us to repeat the past and to not rock the boat. Pull the anchor and let the ship sail where it needs to and don't look back.
Fear is a defense mechanism to protect us in life. But it's also there to motivate us and propel us forward. I am not saying live life in fear. But I am saying don't expect fear to ever disappear. It's through fear that your interests get peaked and you search for that truth and possibility. Fight fear and it will haunt you, look at it in the eye and it will guide you. Life is a raft, not a ship. Life of Pi was the perfect demonstration of that. Ships have navigation system, propellers, and radars. Your career is one aspect of your life, and just like any other, demands determination, patience and exploration. There are no guarantees, you have to do your due diligence, and take a leap of faith. Let the waves take you where they may.

Getting the Most Out of a Career Fair
The effectiveness of a career fair is often debated. Some paint them as a huge waste of time, while others swear by them. If you simply show up and expect to land a job based strictly upon your mere presence and winning personality, you'll fall into the first group. Like most things in life, job fairs take hard work and a lot of preparation. If you are willing to put forth the effort, a career fair can become a truly valuable job finding tool.
Think of a career fair as one big interview. Just as you would if you were being called into a company's office, you need to be prepared and do your research. Most often, a list of companies that will be in attendance can be obtained. Take this list and research any and all companies you are interested in. Look at their company website and social media pages. Make a list of notes and rank each company based upon which you would like to work for most. Your time is limited at a career fair and you want to make sure you visit with the right companies.
Take this time to customize your resume and cover letter to match with the culture of each company you plan to visit. Also, have some generic ones on hand in case you come across a company that you had not originally planned for. You might even want to have your own business cards printed. They should include your name, desired position, and contact information. They don't need to be anything fancy, just make sure it looks clean and professional.
Compiling a list of questions you might want to ask each business is also a good idea. Include some blanket questions that can be asked of any industry as well as some more specific ones for companies you have taken the time to research.
You should also dress the part. Make sure you look neat, clean, and professional with your clothes pressed and stain-free. Your best bet is to wear a dress suit of some kind. As a general rule, it is better to be overdressed than underdressed.
While you're there, don't just network with the recruiters on hand, but also with your fellow job seekers. You will most likely be stuck waiting in more than a few lines, so take advantage of that time to exchange information—those business cards would come in handy here as well.
Following up is just as important after a job fair as it is after an interview. To make your life easier, ask each recruiter you meet for a business card. This way you'll have their name, position, and all contact information at your fingertips; no worries about a bad memory or writing down something incorrectly. In return, give them one of your own cards to remember you.
Remember to send thank you notes or emails to each of the representatives you met with whether you liked their company or not. It is important to make good contacts with as many people as possible—you never know when you might run into them again.
After your initial contact thanking the recruiter, you'll want to continue to follow up on the position you are seeking. You need to be persistent, but not annoying—there is a fine line. You want the employer to know how interested you are in the position, but you don't want to come across as desperate and overly anxious.
Generally, no matter the position or form of contact, try to be overly polite and humble. As annoyed as you may be that your phone calls and/or emails have gone unanswered, don't take out your frustrations on your potential employer. Stay away from statements like, "I still have not heard from you" or "you ignored my previous email." Maintaining a polite tone throughout your email or phone message will keep the person interested, not angry.
Career fairs can be tough and some might not be as great as others, but generally, they're a good time investment as long as you're prepared to put the work in.

Career-Planning: How to Plan for the Interview Process
The unreliable economy and the changes in the job market have certainly impacted the hiring the process negatively. There are now more applicants applying for the same position and applicants are expanding their search to larger geographical distances. Needless to say, the hiring organizations are becoming more selective because they know there many more applicants available to them. The smart applicant has to not only spend the proper time to brush up their resume and cover letter, revamp their social media reach, and prepare for the interview, but they have to prepare for the 2nd, third and possibly fourth interview.
The first interview, is now mostly done by phone as a screening process. In order to save the recruiter time and effort. The good news is, if you make it past the first interview, it will probably mean you will be interviewing with the hiring manager who has better insight about the role for which you're being considered. We are taught oftentimes that impression making is all about listening, but as someone that has been involved in the HR arena for over 15 years, I always advocate for two way interviewing. Just because the market is not as upward as we want it to be, we don't have to settle. An individual who is asking the right questions during the interview can make a well-informed choice if and when they receive the job offer and if they don't receive the offer, at least they know parts of the job that didn't fit well within their schema of the right job. Job-hunting is an emotionally challenging task and we can't possibly receive all yes's. To stay feeling emotionally positive, and cognitively ready and up for the challenge it's best to be in the pilot seat than the passenger. If you ask more questions now, rather than later, then the hiring manager will not wonder where your heart and intentions are and whether you were even paying attention.
Finding the ins and outs of the company and the job, doesn't have to come after six months into the job. There are a lot of questions that can quickly get at the heart of the "True Side" of the job rather than what is portrayed as the "Perfect Side" .
Leader vs. Follower Role
Emotionally intelligent applicants know who they are; their personality, their work style and communication style. Before even applying to the position, the applicant would need to know that the position they are applying to is within the ream of their knowledge skills and abilities. Experience doesn't necessarily guarantee ability, neither does education and training. Our genetic make-up generally defines our personality and knowing that make-up is very insightful in all aspects of life in dealing with others, but especially in career planning. If you're interviewing for a leadership position, it is crucial to know you that, that interests you. Plenty of individuals are in follower positions and have less of a headache and more flexibility and their income is not necessarily capped either. On the other hand, a position could be posed as a leadership position, but once on-board, there is not a lot of latitude. If you enjoy and are good at understanding and withstanding subordinates and delegate work to them, you would want to ask that. Asking the right question regarding this in the 2nd interview will lead the hiring manager to explain where you stand in the company's hierarchy as well as specifc decision-making capabilities of the role.
Norms, Expectations and Performance
The culture of an organization speaks volumes to how the everyday gets done. Walking in to an interview, the applicant needs to have already done their homework as to what type of culture the organization has. The 2nd interview will allow the applicant to ask questions pertaining to communication guidelines, work product reviews, valued actions, and rewarded behaviors. There are two sides to a job, the social aspects and hard skills. I always advocate that if the player doesn't learn the rules governing the game early on, they are just throwing darts in the dark, hoping it will hit the board. The game is half branding, and reputation building, and half performance as generally defined by fulfilling the job description. All companies want their employees to meet their performance expectations. Its important to ask the hiring manager to explain to you through scenarios, "right" and "wrong" behaviors. Something as simple as resources (staff, copier, paper and ink) can cause conflict. Can you imagine miscommunications? Discussing scenarios and finding out how they are perceived or timelines are played, will not only speak to performance appraisals but also to the underlying rules that govern everyday actions before and after the reviews.
Career Path
I am always amazed to find out how many individuals fall in to the trap of taking a job that pays higher over a job that pays a little less but has a clearly defined path for growth. During the 2nd job interview, it is wise for the applicant to ask about the training and advancement process. Finding out what your role is and what the company's role is, is very important. The employee contract is very employee driven now and if an applicant wants to succeed, he or she must clearly know what the unspoken rules of that contract are. A position may be on a basic tier level, meaning within a number of years or experiences the next position would be within access to the applicant. On the other hand, the position could be on a partnership track, meaning, a certain group would need to provide a positive evaluation for the individual to go up the ladder. So on and so forth. Asking that the hiring manager to simply provide examples of career advanacement within the company would be a great way to learn the process.
Network Building Opportunities
Social media has amazingly taken over the work culture. Employers not only use social media to make hiring decisions now, but also look at your network to see contacts that you will potentially bring with you. Furthermore, who you'll be working with is just as important as what you will be working on. It is very typical for managers to invite you to take a tour of the office and meet some of the people with whom you'll be working. Although this may be a good opener, it will not shed any light on the dynamics you may be walking into. Finding out names and doing a background search on the individuals would be a lot more useful. Again social media is great for that. You can also ask how the organization incorporates team work, how teams are formed, who and what determines which teams get what projects and how is the team evaluated. Knowing how messages are transmitted in an organization speaks volumes to how you will spend your day. The people you work with, ultimately become your second family. The difference is you have a chance at picking your second family.

How to Deal With Gaps in Your Employment History
Whether you have been out of work for some time due to an illness or a family situation or simply have not been able to find the right employment opportunity, at some point you will have to answer the dreaded question of what you did while you were out of work for so long. Don't panic! Think of this time off as a positive rather than a negative. Consider the examples below:
I was out of work because I had kids.
I gave birth to two wonderful children in the span of 2 years and my family and I made the decision that I would stay at home to raise and nurture them during their younger years. I am now eager to jump back in the workforce and hit the ground running using the time management and conflict resolution skills that I sharpened during the time I spent with my children. I'm sure these skills will greatly benefit your bottom line.
My mother was sick so I had to take care of her.
I spent the last two years as the primary caregiver to my mother who was diagnosed with a terminal form of breast cancer. During my time off I attended many appointments, treatments, and support groups with her. I learned a great deal about the disease and truly developed empathy and understanding for those going through treatments. I'm eager to bring this experience to this position which will help me understand and relate to your customers in a genuine way.
My last job burned me out.
In my previous industry the status quo was an 80 hour work week. In the summer of last year I decided that for the sake of my health and well-being I would take a sabbatical. After taking time to get to reconnect to my family and friends a little better I found that I truly enjoy working with teens and young adults. I volunteered with Big Brothers Big Sisters and found my true calling.
Do you notice a pattern here? The negative examples all sound like they are excuses, as if you are blaming someone else for your situation. In the positive examples, you put yourself in the driver's seat and you show what you learned and gained from taking time off. This will set you apart from the masses and ensure that an employer will remember you for your abilities and not your excuses.

(repost for upcoming job fair) By #1 Best-Selling Author and Recruiter Scott Vedder
It's always best to customize your résumé and explain exactly how your experience has prepared you for the specific qualifications listed in a job posting. That's a key point I teach in my best-selling book, Signs of a Great Résumé. But what should you do when you're attending a job fair where you'll meet with lots of different employers? In a job fair setting, employers will know it's nearly impossible for you to customize a cover letter and résumé for every single company in attendance. To quantify what makes you a great candidate for several prospective employers, you should showcase examples of your accomplishments and skills related to the most common requirements in your field.
Before you write your job fair résumé, search for online job postings roles related to the career you're pursuing. Take a look at the qualifications that different companies require. You'll likely find some common trends and frequently used terms which appear in job postings at several different companies. With this bit of research, you'll be able to write a résumé that speaks for itself and a cover letter which addresses your qualifications to fulfill the most common needs of your desired career field.
Next, before going to the job fair, try to determine which companies will be represented. Take a look at the jobs these companies already have posted on their web sites. If there's a specific opening for which you'd like to apply, customize a separate résumé and cover letter for that posting and bring it with you along with your job fair résumé. If there's not one particular opening that appeals to you, consider how that company generally evaluates prospective candidates. What key words do they use in their job postings? What types of skills and leadership attributes do they value? What can you learn about their corporate culture and business priorities from their web site? Then customize a résumé for that company with those ideas in mind.
Consider making a list of the companies you know you want to approach at the job fair and write a customized cover letter for those prospective employers. Your cover letter should explain why you want to work for that specific company and can also indicate the general field for which you're interested in applying. When you submit a customized cover letter with your job fair résumé, you'll stand out from your competition. Remember, most other applicants, if they submit a cover letter at all, will be handing over form letters written "To Whom it May Concern," and not to a specific employer.
In your job fair résumé and cover letters, be sure you use specific examples to quantify what makes you a great candidate in your field. Whether you're attending a job fair or you're applying for a single position, your résumé should always be full of !@$%, the Signs of a Great Résumé.
! - Any part of your experience that was "amazing!"
@ - Defining points, places, dates and things in your experience
# - Numbers that quantify and prove your past successes
$ - The dollar value of your contributions
% - Figures that easily show growth and results
When you write a résumé that's full of !@$%, your résumé will speak for itself and you'll be on your way to a successful job fair!

Hope for the Hurting
Rejection hurts.
I feel betrayed, beaten.
I draw into my shell for protection.
How easily I retreat
to stay untouched.
I wrap myself in pity.
With my body rolled into an
impenetrable ball, my muscles grow
weak, my mind dim.
Lord, untangle me, please.
You were rejected by many.
I know you understand.
Fill my drained body
with energy and courage,
Help me to try again.
Lois M. Ludwig, Seattle, Washington
I'm a wounded soldier. How silly of me! I didn't expect to get hurt when I picked up the cross to follow my Commander. He warned me that I would have to suffer with Him to be raised; that I would have die before I could truly live.
I didn't count the cost beforehand; death didn't even occur to me. Totally disregarding the enemy's strong arsenal and my orders, I failed to put on the protective armor. With reckless abandon feeling confident that my Commander was fortunate to have me in His troop, I grabbed my slingshot of sincerity and stones of child-like faith rushing headlong to the front-line of battle. Assuming that ministry was a picnic, I was engaged in spiritual civil war.
My first reaction to being "shot" was shock and denial. I ran a few feet before falling helpless and numb. The pain was not as intense as I would have expected. The danger of the wound seemed minimal; hardly life threatening. Besides, the location and cause were embarrassing— imagine telling a physician that you were dumb enough to go to war without your armor!
So, I picked myself up, put on a Band-Aid, and persisted. I managed to fight a few more battles feeling relief when my wound scabbed over a bit. But one day, rampant infection burned and festered refusing to be unheeded! I wanted to mask my emotions, but I was bleeding like someone who had been riddled with a virtual machine gun.
It's much more difficult, for me, to receive ministry than it is to give it. Suddenly, I'm not in control, but vulnerable and dependent. I hate the trauma of transparency! I don't like to bleed on the floor and make a mess for someone else to clean up. Even now, with healing well on the way, battle fatigue keeps me very sensitive. If someone inadvertently touches my wound, I burst into tears: it's so embarrassing. I desire the hurt to disappear quietly and the ghastly scar to fade. Crying, however, is a normal part of healing which God allows for our benefit and considers priceless.
Chuck Swindoll, in his precious book, For Those Who Hurt, says this about tears: "A teardrop on earth summons the King of Heaven. Rather than being ashamed or disappointed, the Lord takes note of our inner friction when hard times are oiled by tears. He turns these situations into moments of tenderness; He never forgets those crises in our lives where tears are shed." Such comfort!
I see myself as one still on a stretcher. The stretcher has four poles. One is prayer; the second is the healing Word of My Commander; the third is the leave of absence for rest and relaxation (although I want to be active); and the fourth is the love of the fellow soldiers.
The first handle is my prayer journal which I've been keeping since I got "shot". Most of the entries are embarrassing to me now. (In my confusion, I actually turned and started fighting my own army. Some friends were hurt before I was stopped.) It is wonderful to know that I can be completely honest with my Commander and Chief, Jesus. Nothing I say will cause Him to turn His back on me. The prayers of others on my behalf have obviously been answered, also.
The Word, the second handle is probably the most helpful. Really, it was right there all the time; I should not have been surprised. In James 1:2 – 4, J. B. Phillips paraphrased: "When all kinds of trials crowd into your lives, my brothers, don't resent them as intruders, but welcome them as friends! Realize that they have come to test your endurance. But let the process go on until that endurance is fully developed, and you will find you have become men (and women) of mature character . . ."
The third arm of R&R is very humbling. It's hard to sit on the bench when you were once in the thick of battle. It seems like people are saying, "What's wrong with you; are you lazy or backsliding?" But when I try to get up too soon, my wound reopens. So I sit and wait, not too patiently or gracefully, I'm afraid. Healing takes time and God gives us refreshment and room to mend our broken hearts.
This leads to the fourth pole, which is the love of my fellow soldiers. Oh, how I need acceptance and touch. I feel so unworthy and rejected, and as I said, my wound is still sensitive. I'm very thankful for faithful friends who are willing to overlook my grouchiness and self-pity and don't take it personally when I bark and wince. One precious lesson they've taught me is what comfort and compassion are. I used to think that people wanted answers for the questions asked in crisis: "Why me?", "Why now?", "Why this?" But grief doesn't respond to pious platitudes, however true they may be, except as healing makes its long procession. Joseph Bayly in "A View from a Hearse" said, "Don't try to "prove" anything to a survivor. An arm around the shoulder, a firm grip of the hand, a kiss: these are the proofs grief needs, not logical reasoning."
Hebrews 11, Faiths Hall of Fame is full of stories about real people like you and me who have experienced and, best of all, survived suffering, fear, temptation, loss of friends, family and support, failure and yes; even death. Hebrews 11:13 says they were all "controlled and sustained by their faith, but not having received the tangible fulfillment of [God's] promises, only having seen it and greeted it form a great distance by faith, and all the while acknowledging and confessing that they were strangers and temporary residents and exiles upon the earth."
I may not belong in that famous group yet, but I have learned that there is certainly no one with a better offer than the grace of God through Jesus Christ (whom I lean on desperately). Therefore, with Job I say, "Why should I take my flesh in my teeth and put my life in my own hands: though He slay me, yet shall I trust Him". Although sometimes discouraged, I echo Simon Peter, "To whom shall I go? You alone have the Words of eternal life, and I believe and am sure that thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God."
Jesus Christ was offered to us not only as our Savior, but as a role model. Peter wrote, "For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps." (1 Peter 2:21). I think that must have been in the small print. If you are feeling that way now, you are not alone.
As C. S. Lewis said, "There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully around with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket (safe, dark, motionless, airless) it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy or at least to the risk of tragedy is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell."
I believe that my needs were ignored, had a pity-party, questioned God, and blame-shifted. That didn't bother my Commander-and-Chief at all; He wasn't offended. Instead, He met me where I was and listened patiently. He spoke to me from His written Word and through fellow soldiers. He gave me room and time to adjust to the changes in my life. Like the man in the famous "Footprints" poem, I am so glad to say that when I have only seen one set of footprints in the sand of my life, I know that it is because He has carried me. I would not change the course He has for me because I trust my Savior with the life He has given me. Although still not thrilled with all my circumstances, my position on this Solid Rock is just fine.
What will the outcome of this situation be? Just what the Master promised in the beginning: first, there must be a crucifixion; then a resurrection. He first must bring His warriors to the place of realizing that we cannot accomplish this mission of salvation on our own… He does not share His glory with clay. A. W. Tozer said, "It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply."
I want to encourage you not to waste your sorrows. Remember, above all, that God loves you and keeps His promises. He will never leave you or forsake you. He is there when the pain is too great for you to believe it. He will not even leave if you tell him to. "For He (god himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up, nor leave you without support [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless, nor forsake you nor let [you] down, (relax my hold on you). Assuredly not! So, we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper, I will not be seized with alarm; I will not fear or dread or be terrified. What can man do to me?" (Hebrews 13:5:6, Amplified)

If you have made a New Year's resolution for 2015, you are part of the estimated 40% of Americans who have done so. In comparison, roughly 1/3 of Americans watch the Super Bowl. So more Americans make resolutions each year than watch the Super Bowl. Yet despite the good intentions, research conducted by the University of Scranton shows a mere 8% of people actually achieve their New Year's goals.
Well…that's a topic for another post.
But it might help to consider the most common New Year's Resolutions. As documented by USA.gov, three of the most common resolutions among Americans are: losing weight, managing debt, and getting a better job.
If one of your New Year's resolutions is to find a job or earn a better position, let me help you become one of the elite 8% that actually achieves your 2015 goal.
Job seeking in the Digital Age requires you to discover, develop and deliver your personal brand to the world. Put simply, your personal brand is your unique promise of value. A strong personal brand can help you land your dream job, earn a promotion, or make a successful career transition. It is what allows you to stand out from all other candidates in the mind of the decision makers or those in your network.
While there is no shortage to personal branding tools to help you build your brand's presence online and off, here are 3 of my favorite tools to help you build your personal brand in 2015.
Social media is not, I repeat, NOT a fad. Social media is not going away. Yes, the tools/ platforms of social media will change but the concept of connecting and building relationships online will never fade away. If Facebook falls, market demands will cultivate another platform to take its place. LinkedIn has managed to brand itself as THE professional social network in more than 200 countries. LinkedIn grew from 259 million users in Q3 2013 to 332 million users in Q3 2014. That is more than 28% growth in users in 1-year.
To help users develop personal brands on their social network, LinkedIn created the 9-a-Day tool. This tool makes creating your profile and building your network uber easy. It is designed to empower you by providing the insights and techniques to get ahead in your industry in just 9 minutes a day. You can customize your 9-a-day plan with the drag and drop features. Once you are satisfied, simply export your plan to your personal calendar (the tool is compatible with iCal, Outlook, and Google).
According to LinkedIn, they "consulted experts and professionals across the globe, and found that spending just 9 minutes a day, and no more, developing your 'at work' brand, could keep you better informed and make you better at what you do. 9-minutes can be slotted easily into your day, and it gives you complete focus."

SlideShare Visual Career Journey
When making decisions, we use both rational and emotional thoughts, but research has shown that emotions play the primary role in final decisions. Antonio Damasio, M.D., heads the department of neurology at the University of Iowa College of Medicine. Antonio's studies found that, "pure thought untainted by emotion and other "lower" mental functions is less useful than commonly supposed. The brain often "decides" among alternatives by "marking" one alternative as more emotionally salient than another."
Storytelling is the best way to touch the emotional triggers that inspire someone to make a decision in your favor. Sure you could share statistics, job duties and data points with hiring managers but telling them your story will leave a lasting impression; one that allows you to stand out from the other qualified candidates.
SlideShare partnered with LinkedIn to bring professionals a visual storytelling application guaranteed to give job seeker's a leg up on the competition. This new app allows even the most technologically inept job seeker to create a visually stimulating version of their career journey with a single click!
Make sure to update your LinkedIn profile completely before creating your visual career journey. Add as much information and multimedia pieces as possible and then create your masterpiece!

Long before an employer meets you in person, they will meet you online. First impressions in the 21st century consist of what I call "digital handshakes". This is when a potential employer searches for you online before they meet you for an interview or networking event. Therefore, however Google sees you is exactly how your potential employer or professional contact will see you.
Say you share the same name as a convicted felon. His/her mug shot is now representing your name (your personal brand) online. Granted, this is an extreme example but this does happen. If you don't show up in a Google search, then you don't exist. Sad but true. Think about it – how many times have you searched for local restaurants on Google and went to the most favorable option that appeared? How many times did you patronize the restaurants that did not appear? Just like a business, your target audience needs to first know you exist and second believe you can add value to their lives in some way.
The perfect tool to help you proactively manage your personal brand online is the Reach Online ID Calculator. It is free to use and within 5 minutes you have a report that tells you just how strong or weak your online personal brand really is. It even gives you suggestions as to how to improve your online identity, which is rated by your brand's Volume, Relevance, Purity, Diversity, and Validation within search engine results pages.

Bonus! 21Habit.com
Although the tools listed above are incredibly powerful and can certainly help you build your personal brand in 2015, habit forming will inevitably decide whether or not you are successful in achieving your new year's resolutions. I've found the studies to be true that indicate it takes 21 days to form a new habit, which is why I am recommending you use this tool to form habits that strengthen your online presence in 2015.
21Habit is a digital motivational coach that emails you each day to remind you of the habit you are trying to form. The email reminders are interactive such that you answer YES or NO to if you completed the habit that day. The tool records your answers and provides a calendar at the conclusion of 21 days that shows how well you stuck to your plan.
If you are really committed to improving your personal brand in 2015, I recommend using the "Committed Mode", which is a brilliant concept. According to 21Habit, "you invest $21 towards your 21-day challenge. Each day you succeed you get $1 back. Each day you fail or do not check in you forfeit $1 which 21Habit donates to one of several charities." Now that's motivation!

Using social media to find a job is not for everyone. You have to be passionate about your career goals and ready to work hard at "branding" yourself. You cannot expect to simply create a Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter page and instantly find your dream job—it takes a lot of time and a solid effort.
Begin by retooling your existing social media profiles to reflect a more professional persona. Start with your picture; it should be clean and crisp and the definition of professional. The majority of potential connections and employers will view your accounts and if your profile picture is of you partying with your friends, they will simply move their search along to the next candidate. This same idea applies to everything you post. As a general rule, if you wouldn't be comfortable with your grandmother viewing it, don't post it for all to see; that's what privacy rules are for. After all, you only get one chance at a first impression.
Your profile should include as much professional information about you as possible. Include any major accomplishments, experiences, education, skills, honors, and professional achievements. Basically, build your résumé without actually posting your résumé. Your goal is to draw interest and make a prospective employer want to find out more about you.
Once you have properly updated your accounts, it is time to start networking. "Like" businesses on Facebook and follow professionals on Twitter and LinkedIn. Generate a posting letting everyone know that you are looking for work and specifically what type of work that is. Regular updating is essential and not just any update, it needs to be of valuable, interesting content. If you don't care about what you are posting, no one else will either.
Find blogs about your industry or create one yourself about something you are passionate about. This will show discipline,—if kept up to date— your knowledge of your field, as well as basic writing and communication skills. Follow others and invite them to join your blog. Also, post links to your blog on all of your social media accounts. The point is to either enter into or create a community of members within your industry to network with.
It should be noted that social media outlets should not comprise your entire job searching repertoire. More traditional methods like viewing job finding websites or papers should also be utilized. You can even follow job finding sites on Facebook and Twitter since they often post new jobs on a daily basis. Social media should aid you in your search, not be the entirety of your search. The chances of getting a job using social media alone are slim, which is why they should be used as tools.
You also need to be careful of tone in your postings. Most people are more confident when posting something online than they are in person. If you come across too impersonal or condescending with prospective employers, you might turn them off and lose out on an interview opportunity.
Using social media does not end once you finally get that promising lead on a possible job opening. Upon receiving your lead, the first thing you should do is look up the company and hiring manager. Most likely, they will have some form of a social media profile if not multiple ones. There is so much you can learn about a company's culture, hiring process, how they treat their current employees and more that can help you to determine whether or not it is worth it to pursue trying to get an interview. If it doesn't seem like a good fit with your personality, don't waste your time on it and just move along; something better will inevitably come your way.
Really excellent article about Facebook that you should check out...
by Kathy Kristof
The whole social networking phenomenon has millions of Americans sharing their photos, favorite songs and details about their class reunions on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and dozens of similar sites. But there are a handful of personal details that you should never say if you don't want criminals — cyber or otherwise — to rob you blind, according to Beth Givens, executive director of the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse.
The folks at Insure.com also say that ill-advised Facebook postings increasingly can get your insurance cancelled or cause you to pay dramatically more for everything from auto to life insurance coverage. By now almost everybody knows that those drunken party photos could cost you a job, too.
You can certainly enjoy networking and sharing photos, but you should know that sharing some information puts you at risk. What should you never say on Facebook, Twitter or any other social networking site?
Your Birth Date and Place
Sure, you can say what day you were born, but if you provide the year and where you were born too, you've just given identity thieves a key to stealing your financial life, said Givens. A study done by Carnegie Mellon showed that a date and place of birth could be used to predict most — and sometimes all — of the numbers in your Social Security number, she said.
Vacation Plans
There may be a better way to say "Rob me, please" than posting something along the lines of: "Count-down to Maui! Two days and Ritz Carlton, here we come!" on Twitter. But it's hard to think of one. Post the photos on Facebook when you return, if you like. But don't invite criminals in by telling them specifically when you'll be gone.
Home Address
Do I have to elaborate? A study recently released by the Ponemon Institute found that users of Social Media sites were at greater risk of physical and identity theft because of the information they were sharing. Some 40% listed their home address on the sites; 65% didn't even attempt to block out strangers with privacy settings. And 60% said they weren't confident that their "friends" were really just people they know.
You may hate your job; lie on your taxes; or be a recreational user of illicit drugs, but this is no place to confess. Employers commonly peruse social networking sites to determine who to hire — and, sometimes, who to fire. Need proof? In just the past few weeks, an emergency dispatcher was fired in Wisconsin for revealing drug use; a waitress got canned for complaining about customers and the Pittsburgh Pirate's mascot was dumped for bashing the team on Facebook. One study done last year estimated that 8% of companies fired someone for "misuse" of social media.
Password Clues
If you've got online accounts, you've probably answered a dozen different security questions, telling your bank or brokerage firm your Mom's maiden name; the church you were married in; or the name of your favorite song. Got that same stuff on the information page of your Facebook profile? You're giving crooks an easy way to guess your passwords.
Risky Behaviors
You take your classic Camaro out for street racing, soar above the hills in a hang glider, or smoke like a chimney? Insurers are increasingly turning to the web to figure out whether their applicants and customers are putting their lives or property at risk, according to Insure.com. So far, there's no efficient way to collect the data, so cancellations and rate hikes are rare. But the technology is fast evolving, according to a paper written by Celent, a financial services research and consulting firm.

Students across Texas can take a virtual field trip of Palo Duro Canyon and the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum with Canyon Independent School District students.
The students will be part of a Texas Education Agency video series on Texas history. The series is designed to show Texas teachers how an informal, non-classroom setting can enhance classroom learning, said Jim Kracht of the Social Studies Center at Texas A&M University.
Kracht is assisting with video production. He followed seventh-graders from Westover Park Intermediate on their Tuesday tour of the museum.
Kracht also was in the canyon Monday with fourth-graders from Crestview and Gene Howe elementaries.
Film producer Jack Haden said the video will depict students asking questions during their own tour of the attractions. CISD will be listed in the credits.
Kracht said museum guide Jane Stephens' style of open-ended questioning will be highlighted in the video.
The series, "Texas, Yesterday and Today," also will feature the Fort Worth Stockyards, the Houston Ship Channel and the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
The videos will be available for teachers through the T-STAR program that broadcasts videos that can be taped.
Donna Ekrut, CISD facilitator for the gifted and talented program, organized the field trips.
"People downstate don't have these in their back yards," she said of the canyon and the museum.
Ekrut said the videos can be used like mini-tours to expand on historical lessons about Indians and pioneers.
"People think the Texas Panhandle is flat, dry and barren," Ekrut said. "But we do have a rich history."
Seventh-grader Chad Wade said his class was a great pick for the video.
"We knew some, and we learned some," Wade said.

The Swedish UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site of the Birka and Hovgården Iron Age settlements is well suited for the testing of high-resolution archaeological prospection methods. In May 2006 ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and magnetometer test measurements were conducted at Birka, resulting in data of outstanding quality and new archaeological discoveries, but also demonstrating the need for increased spatial sampling regarding GPR prospection at complex Scandinavian sites. Therefore Birka was selected as a testing ground for a pilot study investigating the suitability of the novel multichannel GPR array system MIRA (MALÅ Imaging Radar Array) for efficient, large-scale GPR surveys with very dense spatial sampling. The study was conducted in May 2008 by MALÅ Geoscience AB in collaboration with the archaeological prospection unit of the Swedish National Heritage Board. The very high-resolution three-dimensional GPR pilot survey demonstrated that it is possible to survey 1 ha and more per day with 8 cm cross-line spacing, mapping archaeological structures in unprecedented resolution, such as postholes of only 25 cm diameter. This paper describes the tested technology and methodology as well as the fieldwork and the results of the study. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

I´m trying to get a part of a string that starts with for exampel "Name:". If the whole string looks like "Name: Carl", I just want the "Carl" and not the "Name:". How can I do that? I have tried with
$data = file_get_contents('page.html');
$regex = '/Name:.*/';
And the output I get is:
array(1) { [0]=> string(28) "Name: Carl"
The other thing I don´t understand is why the
array(1) { [0]=> string(28) is showing.

I'm reading a bunch of tutorials about how to add custom profile fields to users' info. This is just one of several similar approaches. Each tutorial varies slightly but they all say to add code to the functions.php file in my theme.
When my theme needs updating, will the update automatically write over the custom code I put in that file?
Side question: Most of these tutorials never tell me to add fields to any database. Does the functions.php just add fields for me if they don't already exist?

2012 Nissan Xterra SUV S 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
I have had my xterra for about 2 weeks (1000 miles now) and so far it has been a great vehicle. I sold my 2012 camaro because I wanted something simple and less extravagant. Plus, the camaro was giving me a headache of problems and I wanted to make the switch back to import. The gas mileage of the xterra is just ok, being able to take it on recreational trips will make up for this in the long run. Also, it feels solid and very secure to the road which I like, while being able to sit up high and in a comfortable position. I love how it rides like a truck, but does not knock you around too much.
Rugged look, deep exhaust sound even from factory parts, easy clean seats, easy to use cruise control, easy to get into, simplicity, hidden glove box, light weight key fob/key combo.
The way the head rests are permanently positioned so far forward hit me in the head if I go over a speed bump a little too fast, can't wait to get the side steps taken off because they are always in the way getting in and out, easier opening back hatch.

I have a program which uses python's cmd module for command line interfaces.
Now I want it to run on my Linux server whenever any normal user logs in to it, in a way that user never gets the default Linux prompt (i.e he should not be able to kill the program or send it to background or any such stuff).
For security issues the program should never allow user to gain access of normal prompt. The user should always use program's cmdline to fire all commands. (The program has various filters built in it).
Tried putting the program execution command in
/etc/password (replacing default bash shell with the program execution cmd) for the user & also tried to put it in users
.bashrc file, but of no use; user can still gain access default prompt.
Any pointers for this can very helpful.

Hydro Flask 21 oz Standard Mouth Bottle
I bought this bottle, based on rave reviews and positive reports from others on social media...purchased for use primarily for taking hot coffee out on early morning canoe trips. It is a very nice bottle, but I have found it does much better at keeping beverages cold, than it does at maintaining hot beverages. I bought this particular size and shape of the Hydro Flask line, based on the description on the REI site. I often head out at 0500 for a few hours of canoeing, and it is nice to have hot… Full review
GSI Outdoors Glacier Stainless Vacuum Bottle
Great thermos for winter hikes! Keeps my coffee or cocoa steaming hot for more than 12 hours. Granted I don't own another thermos so cannot compare this product to another. It worked for me on my winter hikes. Only gave it 4 stars for weighing it at a whopping 1.95 oz! So not great for ultralight anything. After 4 hours just as hot as when I poured it ! Too hot to drink! After 8 hours hot but drinkable right away, after 12 hours still hot. My son bought me this for Christmas last year after he saw… Full review
Hydro Flask 32 oz Wide Mouth Bottle
Good at containing heat for liquids. Can be used for soups if wanted or drinking liquids. I use the Hydro Flask on overnight trips often. Good for storing ice cold water, then in the morning I will keep my coffee in it. It will keep my water cold for at least a day, I usually finish drinking it before then though. Durable design, haven't had any problems with it denting after 5+ trips. If you are into very lightweight packing this is probably not necessary since it weighs slightly more than a regular… Full review
Hydro Flask 18 oz Wide Mouth Bottle
HYDRO FLASK Wide Mouth Water Bottle, 18 oz. I really like this water bottle. It is doubled walled stainless steel with a vacuum between the two walls so it insulates really well. It has the standard wide mouth and cap. Water and ice in it will last all day, no matter how hot it is. I find that if I put too much ice in it, that becomes a problem because when I open it hours later, it will still be full of ice. It is really nice after being out on a hot day to be able to have ice water when I get… Full review
Hydro Flask 21 oz Standard Mouth Bottle
HYDRO FLASK Narrow Mouth Water Bottle, 21 oz. This is a doubled walled stainless steel with a vacuum between the two walls so it insulates really well. It has the standard narrow mouth and cap. Even though I had the other two Hydro Flask bottles, my wife talked me into getting this one too, as it was on sale. It turns out I like it a lot more than I would have thought. My main concern was that the narrow mouth would make it too difficult to put ice in it, but I find that I can squeeze a few cubes… Full review

HYDRO FLASK Wide Mouth Water Bottle, 40 oz. This is my favorite Hydro Flask bottle. It is awesome. It is a double walled stainless steel with a vacuum between the two walls so it insulates really well. It has the standard wide mouth and cap. Water and ice in it will last all day, no matter how hot it is. I find that if I put too much ice in it, that becomes a problem because when I open it hours later, it will still be full of ice. That is especially a problem with this larger size — there will… Full review
Hydro Flask 64 oz Wide Mouth Growler
This is a hyped-up thermos. However, I use it when on the road, as glass growlers just don't cut it. One can still put it in the cooler, or not. I've had beverages stay cold over 24 hours and hot soup for about 18 hours. Like the review, it is good when you can purchase for less than $50. Will last a long time. Dropping will dent and eventually kill it. Needs a carrying handle/case. Full review
SIGG Steelworks Thermal .75 Liter Ring Bottle
This is my go-to insulated drinking vessel, especially for cold weather activities. It's the ideal size and does an outstanding job of keeping liquids hot for a long time (or cold, if you want them to stay cold). Before I start, two quick notes: 1) I found this thermos in the basement of a rental apartment I was living in three years ago. The landlord told me to take whatever I wanted from the basement. It was mostly a mess down there, but finding this thermos made it worth my time. 2) As you've… Full review
Hydro Flask 64 oz Wide Mouth Growler
More than just an oversized water bottle, this vessel goes everywhere with me. Keeps soups and hot drinks hot, and keeps cold adult and non-adult beverages cold. While this bottle/growler is too heavy to take hiking and way too big to fit in my bike's bottle holder, it is still very handy and gets used way more than I initially thought it would. I purchased it two years ago thinking it would be nothing more than a durable beer growler and an upgrade from my glass growlers that I was always afraid… Full review

Chow Smith: Kids Eat Freely
posted by November 9 at 18:02 PMon
Not free. Freely, as in openly. I'm about to have dinner at Smith—with the kid. Hope we don't ruin everything for everybody.
UPDATE: Breaking—must credit Slog. Smith is now serving children. A highly placed source tells me that Smith has been open to kids since Tuesday, but no one knows, and Smith hasn't advertised their new open-to-kids policies. Which means that my son, who just got his burger, is the very first minor to dine at Smith. Further updates as this important story develops.
UPDATE 2: Smith is open for brunch on the weekends, which makes Smith the perfect after-child-is-molested-after-Sunday-services spot for harried-but-faithful parents.
UPDATE 3: The kid enjoyed his burger, pot de creme, beet salad, and toffee. His dads enjoyed their chow as well as beers and wine—in kid's presence. World didn't end, etc. So maybe we can start letting kids into beer gardens in Washington state, huh?

Chelsea's Ivanovic to Serve 3-Game Ban After F.A. Denies Appeal
Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic will serve a three-match ban after the Football Association denied his appeal of a violent conduct charge.
Ivanovic was cited by the F.A. for hitting Wigan's Shaun Maloney in the midsection during the Blues' 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge on April 7. The incident was not seen by the match officials, but was caught on video, the F.A. said.
Ivanovic contested the charge, which the F.A. disciplinary panel upheld after a hearing today, the governing body said in a statement on its website.
He'll sit out the F.A. Cup semifinal against Tottenham in three days, along with league matches against Arsenal and Queens Park Rangers. He will be eligible for Chelsea's Champions League semifinal games against Barcelona on April 18 and 24.

Exeter, UK
Universal Pictures has premiered the new trailer and poster for Battleship, the Hasbro guessing game transformed by director Peter Berg into an alien-invasion movie in which all that stands between Earth and destruction is the U.S. Navy.
Peter Berg (Hancock) produces and directs Battleship, an epic-scaled action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force. Inspired by Hasbro's classic naval combat game, Battleship stars Taylor Kitsch as Lt. Alex Hopper, a Naval officer assigned to the USS John Paul Jones; Brooklyn Decker as Sam Shane, a physical therapist and Hopper's fiancee; Alexander Skarsgard as Hopper's older brother, Stone, Commanding Officer of the USS Sampson; Rihanna as Petty Officer Raikes, Hopper's crewmate and a weapons specialist on the USS John Paul Jones; and international superstar Liam Neeson as Hopper and Stone's superior (and Sam's father), Admiral Shane.
View the trailer below, or watch it in HD at Apple.com. Battleship opens May 18.
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Is this crap really nesessary? Looks like a hundred other movies that have come out in the last year.
Well, who the hell knows? Perhaps Rihanna will shock the world by pulling out her brilliance and skilful acting in this film that none of us know she has.
Oh boy . . . another one. Yipee.
No films are necessary. Especially ones like this. But a mindless romp like this looks like a fun way to waste 2 hrs of my life. Stop being such a fucking downer.
You sank my movie experience.
I can't be the only one that thinks this looks awesome…
Part Transformers…Part Halo….All Suck!

The Big East Conference and Syracuse have reached an agreement that will allow the Orange to depart for the ACC for the 2013 season.
Syracuse's membership in the Big East will be terminated on July 1, 2013 and the Orange will then join the ACC on the same day. In turn, Syracuse will pay the Big East conference a one-time fee of $7.5 million.
"This closes a chapter and opens a new one filled with exciting possibilities for the Big East's future. With the recent addition of eight schools to the Big East, the future for the Conference has never been brighter," said Joe Bailey, Big East Interim Commissioner.
"We look forward to the new academic and athletic partnerships and the extraordinary competitive opportunities that membership in the ACC offers. We are excited about both our final season in the Big East and our long-term future with the ACC," said Dr. Daryl Gross, Director of Athletics for Syracuse University.
Syracuse accepted an offer to join the ACC last September along with the Pittsburgh Panthers. Pitt is currently involved in a lawsuit to leave the Big East.
With Syracuse now officially joining the ACC in 2013 and Pittsburgh likely, the ACC will move to a nine-game conference schedule. Syracuse will compete in the Atlantic Division with Pitt in the Coastal Division.
Currently, the Orange are slated to open the 2013 season vs. Penn State at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ on Aug. 31. The Orange then travel to Northwestern on Sept. 7.
In ACC play, Syracuse will face Boston College, Clemson, Florida State, Maryland, NC State, Wake Forest, and three teams from the Coastal Division.
Football Schedules:
Have to wonder now is ACC going to make its more to get another member n even out conference or does someone from the ACC make its move to the big 12 cough cough (Florida State?)
You do realize that Pitt is also likely to join the ACC in 2013?
Maybe Dook football could move to the Sun Belt? Just askin'.
Oh yeah duh forgot that still hoping for that big move for FS n GA tech to big 12
I hope Fsu and Gt or Clemson decode to join Big 12 to get back to 12.

Japan's Vice Foreign Minister Akitaka Saiki arrived in Beijing on Monday for two days of talks aimed at easing tensions between the two countries over a territorial row.
Saiki is scheduled to meet with his counterpart Zhang Yesui, and the two may exchange views on the timing of a summit meeting between Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to sources close to bilateral relations.
China has said there will be no summit talks as long as Japan refuses to admit the existence of the territorial dispute over the Senkaku Islands, while Japan argues the summit should be held without preconditions.
Japan put the uninhabited islands under state control last September despite fierce criticism from China.
"A summit is not in sight yet," Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said during a press conference in Tokyo. "Both Japan and China are responsible for contributing to world peace and prosperity, so we should have frank discussions."
Another Japanese government official said, "We stand firm in our stance of not recognizing a territorial dispute, but we believe it's possible for the two countries to avert a crisis through dialogue."
Saiki hopes to confirm that the two countries will calmly address the row over the Senkakus, claimed as Diaoyu by China, in the East China Sea.
The nominal purpose of his visit is to pay courtesy calls on senior Chinese officials as Japan's new vice foreign minister. Saiki assumed the post in late June.

Our ride from Topeka to Olathe, a suburb of Kansas City, covered 65 miles. We are at the point in the trip where everyone has ridden with one another and knows everyone's general information, so we rode in groups of two to get to know one another on a deeper level.
I rode with Brett, and we discussed our life events and what made us who we are today, shared stories from school and discussed our deepest fears. Unfortunately, we were unable to complete the trip in the three hours we were given and were forced to rack.
The area where the vans were stationed was right next to a small farm that had a donkey. Brett, who is from Arizona, was incredibly excited to see the animal and immediately ran up to the fence.

The answer to the question "how's life?" depends on where you live. The factors that determine well-being can vary dramatically across the same country so national averages may not provide the full picture. See our regional indicators to see exactly how life is being lived.
Compare how cities across the world are shaping up to the challenges of water governance. Analysis includes a range of governance issues including stakeholder engagement, water loss, sanitation and access to drinking water.
This review analyses progress and challenges of open government data in the Polish national context. It is based on existing OECD methodology and formulates recommendations that aim to help Poland improve open government data efforts and achieve impacts. The recommendations take into account the departing level of the Polish context and focus on priority needs, which in the case of Poland is the establishment of an "infrastructure" to support coherent and sustainable efforts across the administration: creation of an ecosystem of related and co-operating actors, establishment of a supportive governance framework, development of the needed skills and culture among civil servants.
Country notes outlining regional variations in health, jobs, safety, environment, access to services, civic engagement, housing, education, income, and employment. These notes are from the OECD publication "How's Life in Your Region?".
Getting regions and cities 'right', adapting policies to the specificities of where people live and work, is vital to improving citizens' well-being. View the country factsheets from the publication OECD Regional Outlook 2014.
Individual country notes assessing how regions and cities contribute to national growth and the well-being of society.
Is growth possible in all OECD regions? Evidence suggests that it is. This report argues that helping underdeveloped regions to catch up with more developed ones will have a positive impact on a country's national growth overall, and that such growth helps to build a fairer society, in which no region's citizens are left behind.
This comprehensive review of urban policy in Poland looks at the urban system and the challenges it faces, national policies for urban development in Poland, and adapting governance for a national urban policy agenda.
To date, Poland has adopted a complex administrative simplification programme, based on methods successfully used in other OECD countries. It has two main streams: one focused on simplifying licences and permits, the other on measuring and reducing regulatory burdens.

Because I am using a SSD-Harddrive as my System-Disk, I would like to minimize the amount of periodic disk-writes, while Windows is in an idle state.
Is it possible to boot up a cleansed Windows7, which would not excecute any write operations once it is in an idle state? Or will there be some internal process, which has to write something regulary or every now and then?
I tried to kill any unessentail process, using the SysinternalsSuite from MS, but after killing nearly any running process/service, the leftover system still made periodic writes to my SSD-Drive - and only to it.
This bothers me quite much, because I might invest in a small mSATA-Drive, instead of quickly wearing out my Vertex4.
I am of course aware, that it might be a solution to just use the standby mode, when in idle state, but this is just a cheap workaround and not a good solution for me.
Because this started to bug me really bad, I finally reinstalled Win7 x64, and to my suprise, although there is no network connection and nearly no processes running, after a basic install I have quite some noise on ProcessMonitor and still more HDD-activity, than I would like to have.
Durability aside, I would really like to know, how idle the most idle could be for a fresh Win7 x64 installation. So what is the most reduced running setup for Win7?
I already deactivated pagefile and hybernation, just in case. And am working on a list of running services and processes.
