5 Reasons why foreign countries make the best significant others
"Every trip to foreign country can be a love affair, where you're left puzzling over who you are and who you've fallen in love with…All good trips are, like love, about being carried out of yourself and deposited in the midst of terror and wonder." -Pico Iyer, Why We Travel.
1. You'll never get your heart broken.
Fall in love over a period of hours or years, and miraculously, a foreign country can never break your heart. This relationship spans the whole human spectrum, so it not only captures your heart but infiltrates and resides in the mind and the eyes, providing you with a fresh outlook and new perspective.
This new thang moves at a puma's pace with an enlightening, quick connection. Skip the awkward phase of getting to know each other, and cut to the chase; from the moment you step off the plane (or bus or train), you're are recklessly thrown into this relationship. Pour your heart out in this newfound state of freedom and release; new places have a way of healing old wounds. And most importantly, have trust that everything will work out for the best because…. it always does.
2. They exceed your expectations.
Rest assured that a foreign country would never, ever punish you with a dull moment; they will whole-heartedly provide you with the adventures and stimulation you need and crave. They will never instill in you a sense of stagnancy, better yet; they coddle you with constant feelings of awareness and eagerness.
Their gaze, feelings, and breath are intangible, but you'll have moments; truth pulses through the being of foreign countries. Their buoyant energy sears up through your feet and seeps down into your fingertips; their electric current will open your eyes up to wondrous scenes, and because foreign countries detonate all previous expectations, their devastating honesty will always bring you to the point of re-evaluating your life.
3. They don't get attached.
You can get around, without the stigma. Foreign places are emotionally unavailable; they possess no hint of jealousy. In fact, they will more than likely provide you with the knowledge you need before moving on to the next country. Although this relationship permeates the senses and mindset, undulating freedom lies in the ever-fresh air, and your whereabouts and choices.
So often times, human relationships are based on the exclusive 'me and you' factor. However, foreign countries embody unselfish, inclusive connections; we must become aware and present to all energy around us. They have taught me the art of cultivating connection though all things, at all times.
Bonus: after it's all said and done, there's no questions asked. Don't worry how long its going to last, just enjoy your time. Become empowered from knowing that a foreign country will never thoughtlessly hold you down. They rebirth souls as birds; the wind of new places lifts us off the ground and carries us in a spree to distant lands boasting of new sights and adventures.
4. They inspire you.
Countries don't speak of people or things… they speak of big ideas. The undulating adrenaline buzz received only from foreign countries never bores me but beacons my brain to listen more closely, to pump itself chock-full of culture and history. A wealth of knowledge and tools amidst a makeshift, temporary home, they encourage you to try bold, new things.
They make you see, not just look.
Lets take the take ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, for example. Not only is this a ceiling, but a heaven of fanatical exploration of mysticism, holiness, and devotion. The ceiling is curved, there was no need to question it; it was just a fact. The grass is green, right? I went on to admire other details. I vaguely heard the tour guide mention, "The ceiling was painted masterfully to look curved." My brain automatically discarded this preposterous suggestion, as there was no possibility the ceiling was actually flat. Despite my strong instinct to believe otherwise, the ceiling is pretty much flat. Just the thought broke me.
Everything I believed in at that moment was fighting back with all it had. I felt a quick, strange, passing sensation that compelled me to believe everything I had ever learned was wrong. The though of the world not being round clawed at the inside my head. Internal arguments put my brain into a flurry of frustration and awe. My brain reprimanded my instincts. I felt uplifted, smacked sweetly by a higher power. Now, I don't just look and accept.
I look, and make sure I am seeing.
I am now inspired to think that not everything is comprehendible at first glance, and nothing is set in stone. Sometimes you just have to stand there dumbfounded, and let the impossible take you on a whim of certainty.
Foreign countries will never mock you for coming to terms with the unfeasible; instead, they foster endless inspiration. They will do everything in their power to defy your reality.
5. They will bring out the best in you.
(Most of the time) Situations in foreign countries can ignite unparalleled frustration, but in the end, they will always bring out your highest and best self.
Foreign countries help you to help yourself learn life lessons by subtly molding you with their tender, gracious grasp. Heart, eyes, and mind open, your steps back in the daily life effortlessly become more mindful and you tolerance of unpredictable or unpleasant happenings will skyrocket. Higher-level thinking manifests itself naturally as you begin to try to see things through more than one perspective; obviously things will never go back to the way they were.
The adventures in foreign countries provide you with a fistful of memories which you will clutch ferociously in you hands for a lifetime. Not the kind that make u cringe, either… the kind that leave a warmth on your heart and a smile on your face.
Like every good relationship, this foreign country will always have a place in your heart, but you'll be moving onto grander things. Take all the time apart you need, and when you're ready to come back, it's always there for you with open arms borders.
Date Jamaica, not Jamal. Dare to give your heart to places, not people.

Wonderful reading. I shared your post with my sister who also likes to travel. She was a traveling nurse for three years and I'm sure she can relate to your point of view. Here's to staying safe and enjoying what the world has to offer.
Thank you for reading, Aunt Lisa, glad you enjoyed it! 🙂 And thanks for passing the stories along, I appreciate it! Blessings!
So well-put, Casey! I love the experience of being dumbfounded!!
Well put, and quite true! When a relationship I was in ended about 3 years ago, I set out traveling and haven't stopped. Now I've met someone new, who also is as in love with traveling as I am, and so we adventure together, but I will never stop falling in love with countries and new places/people.
I love the Pico Iyer quote, and your post reminded me a lot of my favorite Elizabeth Gilbert quote, "Traveling is the great true love of my life."

When I saw the title of these brownies, I thought, "Hmmm, we'll see." How can they possibly be better than my favorite brownie recipe? Or even my second favorite? Those two are hard to beat in my book. I was surprised with how much I ended up liking these. I will be making them again and I feel like I now have three favorite brownie recipes. To which I say, this is one thing you can never have too many of.
They were super delicious with ice cream which is one of my brownie requirements. I didn't have a 9X9 pan so I used an 8X11.5 and it worked great. I also substituted semi-sweet chocolate for the bittersweet.
They were fudgey and gooey, but not too gooey and completely delicious. If you are looking for a great brownie recipe, you should give this one a try!

Florida Court Upholds Alimony Obligation for Transgender Ex-Spouse: Lambda Legal Says 'Good News, Bad News'
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Our Sponsors
(Clearwater, FL, March 29, 2007) — In response to a ruling by the Sixth Circuit Court for Pinellas County that rejected an attempt to terminate previously agreed to and ordered alimony for an ex-spouse because he is transgender, Lambda Legal issued this statement from Greg Nevins, Senior Staff Attorney in Lambda Legal's Southern Regional Office in Atlanta and Cole Thaler, Transgender Rights Attorney at Lambda Legal:
"Today's ruling is a good news, bad news decision. While the end result of the court ruling is good for our client, part of how we got there is bad for the transgender community as a whole in Florida. This is the precise example of why it is damaging to chain people to the gender on their birth certificate. It's wrong to call our client a woman when Julio is a man."
Lambda Legal represents Julio Silverwolf (formerly Julia Roach) in a lawsuit brought by Lawrence Roach who argued that he no longer should have to pay alimony because Julio transitioned from female to male. The couple had been married for 18 years during which time Julio (then Julia) did not work outside the home, at Lawrence's request. Part of the divorce proceedings included a non-modifiable obligation to pay alimony until death or remarriage of the wife, which the Court agreed had not occurred. The Court ordered the alimony payments to continue, but also stated that Silverwolf would not be recognized as a man under Florida statutes.
Co-counsel in the case are Guy M. Burns, Jonathan Coleman and Jennifer Reh of the Tampa and Clearwater, Florida offices of Johnson, Pope, Bokor, Ruppel & Burns, LLC.
The case is Roach v. Roach n.k.a. Silverwolf.

32nd IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution
Code smells are symptoms of poor design and implementation choices that may hinder code comprehension, and possibly increase change- and defect-proneness. A vast catalogue of smells has been defined in the literature, and it includes smells that can be found in any kind of system (e.g., God Classes), regardless of their architecture. On the other hand, software systems adopting specific architectures (e.g., the Model-View-Controller pattern) can be also affected by other types of poor practices.
We surveyed and interviewed 53 MVC developers to collect bad practices to avoid while working on Web MVC applications. Then, we followed an open coding procedure on the collected answers to define a catalogue of six Web MVC smells, namely \textsc{Smart Repository, Fat Repository, Promiscuous Controller, Smart Controller, Laborious Repository Method}, and \textsc{Meddling Service}. Then, we ran a study on 100 MVC projects to assess the impact of these smells on code change- and defect-proneness. In addition, we surveyed 21 developers to verify their perception of the defined smells. The achieved results show that the Web MVC smells (i) more often than not, increase change- and defect-proneness of classes, and (ii) are perceived by developers as severe problems.

Ticket demand breaking broker records The Columbus Dispatch January 5, 2008 by Tracy Turner
Monday night's national championship game between Ohio State and Louisiana State has generated unprecedented demand for tickets, according to two national ticket companies. Online ticket brokers StubHub.com and TicketCity.com both said demand is the highest either has experienced.
StubHub.com, based in San Francisco and one of the largest ticket resellers, said it has sold more tickets for the game than any other sporting event, based on dollar volume, since the company began selling tickets in 2000.
The company said the average ticket price for the title game is $1,394, with the most expensive ticket sold at $4,300 for a sideline seat on the 45-yard line, spokesman Sean Pate said. The cheapest ticket sold through the site so far cost $475 for a seat on the terrace end zone.
"The matchup is an attractive one on the field, and the game is really taking on an air of exclusivity and separating itself as a marquee event in line with the Super Bowl in terms of excitement," Pate said. "Tickets for the Super Bowl are selling at a higher price but haven't sold nearly as much as those for the BCS.
"People are flocking to get tickets to see this game."
StubHub.com, owned by eBay, had more than $100 million in revenue last year.
The company gets a 25 percent commission on each ticket sold: Sellers pay a 15 percent fee and buyers are charged a 10 percent commission.
TicketCity.com likewise is reporting that the 2008 BCS title game is the best-selling event in the company's 18-year history, said Rafael Rivas, vice president of sales for the Austin, Texas-based ticket broker.
"It's a backyard game for LSU, with less than 80 miles from its campus to the game site in New Orleans, and Ohio State is the best traveling team, with fans willing to travel long distances to support their team," Rivas said. "Both schools have a really passionate fan base, so we knew demand for tickets would be through the roof."
Tickets for the game are averaging $1,922 on TicketCity, up from $1,682 per ticket in early December. "We knew that if Ohio State got in (the BCS), it would be a monster," Rivas said.
Central Ohio ticket brokers also are reporting strong ticket sales. Sales have been "brisk," said Ryan Forgacs, president of Main Event Ticket Service. The company has sold more than 300 tickets, which is considered good for the small, local company, he said.
"The BCS ticket sales come in just behind last year's OSU versus Michigan game last season, pitting No. 1 against No. 2," Forgacs said, noting that because fans didn't have to worry about a flight and accommodations for that game, it sold more tickets.
"We're real happy with the demand (this year) and have sold to a lot of fans happy to make the (New Orleans) trip."

Commercial events of 2001 were dominated by several high-profile corporate collapses, including Railtrack, Equitable Life, Independent Insurance and, most spectacularly of all, Enron.
The issues raised by these commercial disasters will ensure that 2002 is a busy year for regulators and commercial lawyers, with the liability and regulation of auditors, directors and insurers likely to undergo significant examination and possibly reform. Attention is now focusing on the adequacy or otherwise of insurance policies to protect shareholders and contractors, in much the same way that the Maxwell debacle in the 1990s focused attention on the deficiencies of pension laws.
Some of the most interesting recent developments in commercial insurance law have arisen from the principle of good faith under Section 17 of the Marine Insurance Act 1906, which provides that: "A contract of marine insurance is a contract of the utmost good faith, and if the utmost good faith is not observed by either party, the contract may be avoided by the other party."
The issues in the following three cases arise from the examination of the scope and application of any post-contractual duty of good faith.
Manifest Shipping Co Ltd v Uni-Polaris Shipping Co Ltd & ors (2001)
The Star Sea was the earliest of the cases and concerned a claim for total constructive loss of the vessel The Star Sea as a result of fire.
The insurer's case was based on the allegation that the respondent had breached its duty of utmost good faith by failing to disclose reports on two other losses that had occurred in similar circumstances. The House of Lords confirmed that the duty of good faith did extend beyond the making of the insurance contract, but that at the claims stage it was limited to a duty of honesty.
In order to establish privity, the insurer had to establish a suspicion or realisation in the mind of at least one of the relevant individuals that the ship was unseaworthy in the relevant aspects, and that a deliberate decision was made (not mere negligence) not to check whether that was so for fear of having certain knowledge about it. Unless the insured had acted in bad faith, it could not be in breach of a duty of good faith and culpable non-disclosure was insufficient to attract the drastic consequences of avoidance provided by Section 17. The court left open the question of when the remedy of avoidance was available because on the facts there was no breach of duty.
K/S Merc-Scandia XXXXII v (1) Underwriters Of Lloyd's Policy No 25t 1054 87 (2) Ocean Marine Insurance Co Ltd & ors (2001)
Considering the same issue, The Mercandian Continent was an unusual case where the insured's deceit was aimed at a third-party defendant.
The insured party was a ship repairer in Trinidad that had a policy with the insurer (the defendants) covering against liability to third parties. The claimant was the owner of the vessel, who asserted that the insured ship repairer was liable for breach of contract. It was a term of the policy that the insured would give prompt notice of any event that might give rise to a claim to the insurer.
The insured did provide notice of the claim, but during a dispute over jurisdiction it supplied a forged document to the insurer's solicitors. The forgery was discovered before any hearing on the issue of jurisdiction was held and the forged document itself was unconnected with the merits of the claim. The insured was found liable to the shipowner but subsequently went into liquidation. The claimant then continued the action directly against the insurer under the Third Parties (Rights Against Insurers) Act 1930. The insurer was attempting to avoid the policy on the grounds of breach of the duty of utmost good faith under Section 17 of the Marine Insurance Act 1906.
The Court of Appeal held that it was only appropriate to invoke the remedy of avoidance for breach of the duty of utmost good faith post-contract in circumstances where, in any event, the insurer had a right to terminate for breach of contract. In this case, the fraud was not relevant to the insurer's liability and it would be disproportionate if the insurer was entitled to avoid the insurance policy.
This case can be distinguished from The Star Sea on three important points: (1) the contract was not a property insurance contract, but a liability insurance contract; (2) the conduct of the insured was fraudulent instead of merely culpable; and (3) in The Star Sea, the alleged breach of the duty of good faith took place at the claim stage, whereas here it took place before the claim had been made. The Mercandian Continent, therefore, established the duty of good faith as a continuing one and not limited to certain events after the contract was made.
Konstantinos Agatipos & anor v Ian Charles Agnew & ors (2002)
The post-contractual duty of good faith was again under the spotlight in this case, which was decided in the Court of Appeal on 6 March. The action concerned the loss of the passenger ferry Aegeon, which was insured under a slip policy for six months while undergoing maintenance. The policy included a warranty that there would be no hot work.
After pleadings had been served, the claimant alleged that hot works had not begun until 12 February 1996, but workmen's statements disclosed in early 2001 attested that hot works of a substantial nature had been carried out from as early as 1 February 1996. This difference was significant to the alleged breach or otherwise of the warranty.
"Suppose his lies are exposed, but the judge takes the view that he would have won his case anyway. Does he lose the case because he lied? The answer is no"
Mr Justice Park, Court of Appeal
On appeal, the two main issues were: (i) whether, and in what circumstances, the common law rule of law and/or Section 17 of the Marine Insurance Act 1906 could apply in the event of use of fraudulent means or devices to promote a claim, when the claim might prove at trial to be in all other respects valid; and (ii) if so, whether the application of that rule and section ceased with the commencement of litigation.
The Court of Appeal held that the common law rule relating to fraudulent insurance claims did apply to the use of fraudulent means or devices to promote a claim. The decision followed the powerful dicta in The Star Sea, that the common law rule and the duty of good faith under Section 17 were both superseded or exhausted by the rules of litigation once the litigation had begun.
This case raised the question of the status of claims brought by 'lying litigants', (although deceit was not admitted in this instance), and Mr Justice Park commented: "Suppose at the trial his lies are exposed, but the judge takes the view that he would have won his case anyway without them. Does he lose the case because he lied? The answer is no. If his case is a good one anyway, he wins. It is deplorable that he lied, but he is not deprived of his victory in consequence".
It seems that even tellers of untruths get their day in court.

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was one of the most popular writers in the United Kingdom in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His fiction works include The Jungle Book — a classic of children's literature — and the rousing adventure novel Kim, as well as books of poems, short stories, and essays. In 1907, at the age of 42, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

The Jungle Book based on 0 ratings. 223 reviews.
This copy was atrocious in editing, spelling, format and anything else I can think of! It appeared to me that it had been copied by someone who didn' t know the English language. Although the price was cheap, it was too much for this copy. There were many cases of where a capital U was used in stead of double ll, symbols in stead of letters and very few pages without errors and many pages with more than one. Wasted money!
Are the two JUNGLE BOOKS (1895-96) by Rudyard Kipling for children or for adults? *** I say: for both. My six grandsons and two granddaughters are enthralled when I read to them of Bagheera the panther, Rikki-Tikki-Ravi the mongoose or Mowgli the man-cub raised by Father and Mother Wolf. And I myself have returned to Kipling after 50 years with renewed enthusiasm for his imagination, wisdom and deft ways to spin great yarns. *** Surprisingly the jungles of THE JUNGLE BOOKS are not just in Central India. They are wild places of Antarctica, Arctica and the great oceans. Kipling's jungles are "what if?" magical lands. They are border spaces where humans and animals are co-exist in varying degrees of noticing one other.What if animals were to communicate among themselves as well as we humans do? What if animals tamed by or captured by humans learned human languages and grasped human motivations? In "Servants of the Queen" we meet and hear the talk of Indian Army work beasts and fighting beasts assembled in the spring of 1885 to impress Abdur Rahman, visiting Amir of Afghanistan, an event personally witnessed and reported by young journalist Kipling. The tale begins: "It had been raining heavily for one whole month -- raining on a camp of thirty thousand men and thousands of camels, elephants, horses, bullocks, and mules all gathered together at a place called Rawal Pindi, to be reviewed by the VIceroy of India." *** Kipling, fortunately for us readers, "knew enough of beast-language -- not wild-beast language, of course, from the natives to know what he (a panicked camel frightened by a bad dream) was saying." We learn how each class of army animal sized up things, how well they had been trained in their various specialties (e.g., mules to haul mountain howitzers up the sides of mountains, cavalry horses to hold formations for their riders, etc.) and what they absorbed from the men their masters. A young mule asked the other beasts why they had to fight at all. "'Because we're told to,'" said the troop-horse with a snort of contempt." "'Orders,'" said an older mule. "'Hukm hai (It is an order),' said the camel with a gurgle." And the elephant and the bullock agreed. But who gives the orders? The man who walks at your head or who rides you! But who gives them orders, asked the young mule? The others agreed that the youngster wanted to know far too much. *** And so it goes in or near world-wide jungles where men and intelligent beasts live not too far apart or, as in the Indian Army, live in symbiosis. Great yarns. Open THE JUNGLE BOOKS at random and judge for yourself! -OOO-
The story the Jungle Book is a true timeless classic. The story of Mogli a young orphan who is trying to surrvive in the jungle after being orphaned has a wide variety of emotiones. Mogli a young child is ophaned after his parents are killed by a tiger, only he manages to survive. Mogli is befriended by Baheer a wise old panter and Baloo a lazy bear. Between the the two animals they try to teach Mojli of the dangers of the forest and try to help him get to the nearest man villag. On their Odessey the three encounter many dangers. A group of luticris orangatans who want Mogli to protect them from danger, Kaa a boa constricter who wants to make Mojli lunch, and Shere Khan who wants to kill Mojli before Mojli seakes revenge for the slaughter of his parents. The Intense climax comes in a final show down between Shere Khan and Baheer, the fight leaves you on the edge of your seat and you wonder Will Mogli make out of the jungle alive, or parish such as his parents. The Jungle Book supports all the content that it takes to make a classic, and I would highly suggest, Rutyard Kippling made a true master piece.
Nicely formatted tales with the wit and historical perspective associated in Kipling.
Legends are made from legends. Rudyard Kipling dug deep into the tales of the jungle from his years living in India, and drew from them the kinds of stories that live forever. "The Jungle Book" is more than how Mowgli, the man cub, learns to live and survive amongst enemies like Shere Khan. The intense mongoose vs cobra "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi," also well-known, is here, as are several lesser-known and unrelated adventures. Richly written, with details and contexts unfamiliar to Western readers, "The Jungle Book" lifts imagination and language beautifully. Poetic, and written in a literary style, it shines above most modern prose. This is the stuff of afternoon stories read to older boys and girls. Young teens will while away rainy evenings, unwilling to part until finished. Sometimes scary and always exciting, Kipling also uses the book to teach lessons much greater than a jungle in India. When chapters were first read to me many years ago, I listened gawk-eyed, listening intently for as long as my mother would read. I read it with different eyes now, but no less a young boy as I worry how Baloo will handle the Bandar-Log monkeys. It isn't perfect. A few scientific details are fudged (wolf pack breeding structure, for example), but nothing that matters in the big picture. Kipling will have you in the palm of his hand, even though it was first published over 100 years ago. May "The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling be as amazing to you as it has been to me. --Brockeim
The Jungle Book was a great book to read. I thought that it would be a children's book, but I found that it could also be a great book for anyone to read! I got sucked into right from chapter one. Mowgli, the main character, was found and raised by wolves. He then was taught the Laws of the Jungle by Bagheera, the black panther, and Baloo, the bear. All through the book they run into some sort of trouble, but always manage to get out. Like when the Bandar-Log, the apes, take him for hostage and take him clear across the jungle to the Cold Lairs which an intense battle takes place. I would recommend this book to not only younger people, but to everyone. It is action-packed and it totally stole my attention and grabbed my heart at the end when Mowgli's enemy, Shere Kan, was taken over by him. This book has some flaws like the animals from the jungle don't really match where it takes place. I would give it four stars. I still think it is a good book, and I would recommend everyone that reads this review to read this book!
The edditing was terrible.
I read this book as a child and now I have introduced my child to it. It seems that everyone who reads this book simply loves it and the original movie from 1942 is a great representation of this as well.
People dont like the book cause theyve seen the disney movie first and expect the book to be the same. If one read the book before seeing the movie they might like the book more than the movie!
Good read for my young lad. He really enjoyed it and there were no spelling mistakes as previously been written.
This is a book that you can read again and again. My favorite is the story of Rikki Tikki Tavi.
Good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is a good book
Are we sharing life stories?
This is a good book

Site Supervisor Internship Handbook
Policies for supervising an internship.
Hosting an internship can be a wonderful experience for all involved. A successful internship provides students with an unparalleled opportunity to apply their classroom learning to the workplace. Internships also provide host organizations with high-achieving workers who bring a fresh perspective and ideas. In order for an internship to be successful, both the site supervisor and the intern must understand how an internship differs from a job, and both must commit to working together to make the most of the opportunity.
Benefits of Internships to:
¨ Gain enthusiastic and motivated workers
¨ Receive assistance with special projects
¨ Gain a fresh perspective in ongoing projects and procedures
¨ Develop supervisory skills of staff
¨ Access students with special skills and knowledge
¨ Train new professionals in your field
¨ Develop your own pool of potential employees
¨ An opportunity to "test-drive" a career choice
¨ Develop specific skills and knowledge related to a career
¨ Develop professional contacts
¨ Learn directly from experienced professionals
¨ Gain experience in a real-world situation, including interviewing, working with others, communication skills, and culture of various work environments
What's the Difference between an Internship and a Job?
The National Society for Experiential Education defines an internship as "a carefully monitored work or volunteer experience in which an individual has intentional learning goals and reflects actively on what he or she is learning throughout the experience." The key phrases in this definition are "carefully monitored," "intentional learning goals," and "reflects actively."
In a typical entry-level job, an employee receives training to perform the tasks necessary for the position, and then the employee is expected to carry out the duties as assigned, preferably with little supervision. In an internship, however, interns bring "intentional learning goals" that support their academic and career interests. In addition to the work product provided to the internship site, interns will come with specific goals, often in the form of a learning agreement or contract. In most cases, as a site supervisor you will be asked to assist the intern and advisor in developing these goals. This ensures that the goals are reasonable and also indicates your commitment to helping the intern achieve these goals during the internship. Interns are asked to reflect actively on their experience. This means that interns will often have more questions than a typical employee before, during, and after the internship. This reflection helps make the internship more meaningful, while connecting the on-site experience to the student's academic training.
Before the Internship:
If you are considering sponsoring an internship, it is helpful for you to first ask yourself a series of questions.
1. Can I provide a meaningful experience that helps students explore career choices?
Of course, routine work is a part of everyone's job, and internships are no exception to this rule. Ask yourself whether you have distinct goals, objectives, or projects for an intern. Will they be part of a team that is developing a new marketing campaign? Will they be conducting research on a product to determine quality control? Will they be allowed to participate in staff meetings?
With the increased popularity of internships and a competitive job market comes a stretch in the definition of a true internship. In an effort to attract potential employees, some employers have fallen into the trap of labeling entry-level jobs as internships. For example, they may need someone to complete routine office tasks, but by calling it an internship, they hope to attract bright young students who may later be interested in joining the company or organization in a different capacity. This approach usually backfires, however, because students who expect to be challenged and learn new tasks in an internship become unhappy when they discover that the position is not as advertised. This makes it even less likely that they will consider a full-time position later. Even worse, the student may share their experience with others, resulting in a bad reputation for the employer.
2. How will the intern be compensated?
Compensation comes in many forms. In some cases, interns are paid at or near the prevailing wage for an entry-level professional. Compensation at this rate helps attract students and ensures that the internship site can pick the "cream of the crop." It also helps students to focus on the internship because they do not have to work a second job and possibly attend school at the same time. In other cases, interns are paid a "training wage" that is at or above minimum wage. Some employers offer a stipend, a set amount of money that is awarded without regard to the number of hours completed in an internship. Before offering a stipend, however, employers should check with state regulations concerning stipends to ensure that all appropriate regulations are being followed.
Non-profit groups often cannot afford to pay an intern anything, and so compensation in other forms should be considered. For example, an arts agency may provide the intern with free tickets and backstage passes to performances. A social service agency may pay the registration and other expenses to send an intern to a professional conference. Students who undertake a non-paid internship may need more flexibility in their hours or reduced hours so that they can also work at a paid job.
For many students, the most important compensation is the opportunity to learn real skills and contribute to the mission of the internship site. However, states have different regulations related to non-paid internships and compensation. If you have questions about the laws in your state, please check with appropriate authorities. Also, be sure to view the Department of Labor Fact Sheet 71 for more information about internship compensation.
3. Who will supervise the intern?
An intern must have a designated site-supervisor who is responsible for providing orientation, supervision, and opportunities for reflection for the student. This should be someone who will be available to the student on a regular basis, and possesses expertise in the area in which the intern will work. Even if the intern will rotate through various departments in order to gain broad-based experience, there still should be a single overall supervisor who oversees the internship as a whole.
When choosing a site supervisor, it is important to choose someone who is interested in working with college students, has the time to invest in the internship (especially during the first few weeks), and has qualities such as leadership, strong communication skills, and patience.
Since an internship is defined as a learning experience, proper supervision of the intern is essential. The supervisor serves as a teacher, mentor, critic, and boss. Ongoing supervision of the student intern is key to the success of the internship. This is especially true for students who do not have extensive work experience. The work environment is unlike the classroom in many ways. For example, in an academic environment students are used to having clear objectives and receiving frequent feedback regarding their progress (e.g., grades). Also, students are expected to challenge their "supervisors" (professors) and focus on new ways of thinking rather than following established protocols. Student behaviors that are often rewarded in the classroom can sometimes cause difficulties in the workplace. Acknowledging and identifying the different expectations between the workplace and school can help interns make a successful transition to the world of work.
An effective method of intern supervision is to have a set time-- weekly is recommended -- to meet with the intern to review progress on projects, touch base, and provide feedback. Some supervisors do this over lunch; others choose a more formal setting, depending on the culture of your organization and time constraints.
Training is as important as supervision. Establish a training program that will give the intern a clear understanding of what is expected, and include information about the duties that will be supervised and evaluated. Refer to the learning contract or agreement that was signed at the beginning of the internship.
Establish written goals and objectives and clarify these goals and objectives before the intern begins working. Some interns need more guidance than others, and many factors must be taken into consideration. Consider the intern's cultural background, disabilities, learning style, and previous experience. Evaluate his or her level of maturity and confidence. Is the intern a critical thinker or a creative problem-solver?
Orientation can be a formal or informal process depending on the number of interns and needs of the employer. However, regardless of the structure, there are important elements that should be included in any orientation program for interns. Plan to include the following in your initial training:
Information about the organization · Offer interns your company or organization's literature to review and any other documents that are important for them to understand the big picture. If available, include an organizational chart that explains various roles and responsibilities of employees.
Structure · Interns might not be familiar with formal workplace procedures (e.g., attendance policies, break times, days off). Generate a written document that clarifies relevant policies and procedures and submit this to interns on their first day with your organization.
Introductions · Take time in the beginning of the internship to introduce the intern to key people in the organization. Allow more time for conversation with those employees who are likely to interact with the intern on a regular basis. Some interns, based on personality or culture, may be reluctant to seek out co-workers on their own. By making a special effort to encourage those contacts early on, interns will feel more comfortable asking for advice or support later.
Ongoing Training
Interns, as students, appreciate any opportunity to learn new skills or increase their knowledge. Developing a plan for training throughout the internship will keep students interested in the position and ready to tackle new challenges. Ongoing training may include the following:
Skill Development · There may be a need for training in specific skills such as computer programs, office equipment, or other tasks directly related to the job. Even very bright students with great potential will struggle if they are not instructed in the specifics related to successful completion of duties.
Shadowing · Allow interns to participate in activities and meetings. Interns may have leadership potential but not understand the culture of your organization. They will rely on their supervisor to educate them.
Questions · Interns might not know when to speak or how or what to ask. Assist them in actively learning by explaining and clarifying everything. Suggest and encourage questions at appropriate times.
Professional conferences or association meetings · If possible, see if you can offer the opportunity to attend a training or networking event. It helps interns to get a feel for the overall mission of your organization, and at the same time makes them feel that they are valued.
A mentor is a counselor, guide, tutor, or coach. Valuable internship experiences not only include effective supervision, but also, a large component of mentoring. Most interns seek out internships in order to develop their own career goals. Mentors help guide students though their experience. This may mean allowing or encouraging the student to participate in events that may not normally be open to entry-level professionals, such as certain staff meetings, client consultations, or other work-related events. Even though these events may not be directly tied to the intern's specific job duties, they will help provide a broad overview of your business or organization. A mentoring relationship is valuable for both the intern and the professional. The intern has the opportunity to reflect on his or her experience in a supportive, educational atmosphere. The mentor can pass on a wealth of experience and knowledge, and benefits from a fresh perspective and new ways of thinking.
Evaluation is important to an intern's development and is an opportunity to identify strengths and weaknesses. It is helpful if supervisors evaluate throughout the entire internship, not just at the end. The evaluation should be structured as a learning experience and an opportunity for bilateral feedback. Regularly scheduled evaluations help avoid common problems with internships, including miscommunication, misunderstanding of job roles, and lack of specific goals and objectives. You may find it helpful to schedule a preliminary evaluation very early in the internship (in the second or third week). This will help you understand whether the intern's orientation and training was sufficient, or if there are specific areas in which the intern has questions or needs further training.
Criteria to consider when evaluating an intern are:
· Progress towards or accomplishment of learning objectives as stated in the learning agreement
· Skill development or job knowledge gained over the course of the internship
· Overall contribution to the mission of the organization
· Dependability, punctuality, attendance
· Relations with others, overall attitude
· Potential in the field
The student will also evaluate the internship experience, which is important in determining the value of the work experience for future interns. Categories might include:
· Was there educational value or merit in the assignment?
· Did the position live up to its initial description?
· Was the supervisor receptive to your ideas?
· Does the experience relate to your major or career goals?
· Did you receive a proper job orientation?
· Was the supervisor willing and/or capable of answering questions?
· Did you develop work habits?
Ending the internship
An internship should have a clearly stated end date that is identified before the internship begins. Completing a formal evaluation process such as the one described above can help both the site supervisor and the intern to put closure on the experience. You also may want to have some form of acknowledgment such as a lunch with coworkers in the final week of the internship. Since coworkers often have extensive contact with interns, this type of event can be a positive way to recognize the contribution of other employees as well as the intern. If you are considering hiring the intern for a full-time or part-time position, it is important to make this transition. It is not fair to the intern or coworkers to simply "extend the internship." Make the offer as you would any employee, complete with a title change and a job description. As the person is now considered an employee with some degree of experience and more responsibility, it is normal practice to offer a pay raise when someone makes the leap from intern to employee.

Mobile phones aren't a technology one might think of as being nVidia's natural domain, but it looks like that may be set to change in the near future. With the launch of the APX 2500, nVidia is aiming to provide smartphone manufacturers with what it calls "the worlds lowest-power high definition computer on a chip" and if the specs are anything to go by, we have to believe them.
At its heart the chip is an ARM11 processor with a low power GeForce core bolted on top and while that may sound a tad crude, it leads to some very interesting results. Foremost on the agenda is 720p playback and encoding of H.264 and VC-1 video, MP3, AAC and WMA audio playback and support for up to a 12 megapixel camera. The APX 2500 also allows video over HDMI (1.2) at resolutions up to 1,280 x 720 and PC outputs up to 1,280 x 1,024.
nVidia says it has been working closely with Microsoft while developing the APX 2500, so hopefully we'll see a slew of high quality video-playing Windows Mobile smartphones in the not too distant future. Supposedly we should expect some snazzy 3D menus and games to appear on devices taking advantage of the processing ability of the chip. Now we just need to see what Intel can offer in retort when Silverthorne launches later this year.

'Secret luggage searches' at Birmingham airport
An inspection at Birmingham Airport has found that airport staff may have been carrying out secret luggage searches illegally, by not completing the required paperwork.
Aviation analyst Chris Yates told the Today programme: "Border Force personnel are allowed to search baggage but that search has to be done in such away that permission is sought, preferably beforehand, to start rooting in passengers' bags."
In some cases, this was not happening.
According to the report, he explained, no records were being kept if no contraband had been found, and passengers would not be able to find out if their bags had been opened.
Beyond this, he added: "There is a question here as to whether we need to be rooting into passengers' bags when we have the technology to do that."

AMES, Iowa – According to a report from Experian Hitwise, Pinterest is now the number three most-popular social network in the United States. Iowa 4-H recently created a 4-H page on the Pinterest website, http://pinterest.com/iowa4h/. The page has 49 boards with 96 pins.
"We created the 4-H page on Pinterest for anyone who wants to learn more about 4-H projects or the 4-H program in general," said Shelly Greving, marketing director for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach 4-H Youth Development. "This is a great source for kids as well as volunteers and leaders to collect ideas for their 4-H projects."
The latest social network is growing tremendously. The Iowa 4-H page contains 49 boards on many topics, including:
There are also special interest boards for 4-H camp and 4-H clubs. These boards give visitors a chance to learn more about these 4-H outreach efforts and collect ideas to improve their club and camping experiences, noted Greving.
Initially, the page will connect users to 4-H curriculum and resources. Then, over the summer, more resources will be added to the boards that will help youth explore projects further.
"We see Pinterest as a great fit for 4-H because of the ability to share ideas and projects," Greving said. "However when you use Pinterest, you must also be aware of copyright issues. If you want to copy a project from 4-H or from any other source and add it to your Pinterest page, be sure to cite the originator of the content, the original source."

I've had my rhinoplasty 3 months ago.Unfortunately I'm not happy with the results and it afects me psychologically very much.it's still long time until I can have a revision. I've recently realised that taping my nose(it looks good with tapes)makes me feel much better and makes the waiting much easier.But I don't want to damage my nose more...I would like to know if this could be bad or good for my recovery?I'm taping it exactly the way my doctor told me to do right after i got the cast off.
Can Taping my Nose Negatively Influence the Recovery?
Doctor Answers 2
Can Taping my Nose Negatively Influence the Recovery?
Sadly, it might. If sutures were used to secure and thin the nasal tip cartilages, during the previous Rhinoplasty, you taping the nose with too much force or in the wrong place could cause the sutures to rupture. IMHO, you should have your Rhinoplasty Surgeon instruct you on the proper use of tape or manual lymphatic drainage of the nasal tip and supra tip areas.

Holy cow! I am so excited. I haven't seen Pavement since at the Roxy back in 98. I am so glad that they are coming to Atlanta and I can see them in the confines of The Tabernacle instead of at some festival where I couldn't even enjoy the music. See you all there!!!
Does anyone have an extra ticket to this show? More like face value, not upwards 100 bucks?
Awesome… Hey Mar10, I think we went to that one together… This time no wnynepn drama, allright!

Conspiracy Theories and American Politics
Yesterday, President Obama tried to dissuade Americans from getting distracted over whether he's an American citizen. Then reality TV star and presidential hopeful Donald Trump quickly took credit for Obama's move to release his long form birth certificate. Now Trump is flirting with the idea of prolonging the issue with concerns over the certificate's authenticity and concerns over whether Obama should open up his academic records from his undergraduate work at Occidental College. Is the birther issue over? And how do conspiracy theories like these become full blown political issues?
Is this just one event, in a long line of conspiracy theories, that have shaped our political history in America? Jerrold Post, director of the political psychology program at the Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University, says there's a long tradition of this sort of political paranoia. He's a clinical psychiatrist and co-author of the book "Political Paranoia: The Psycholopolitics of Hatred."

There are two great expressions in this image from Divine Bitches. You can see tension in both faces, but in two different ways. It's a nicely balanced moment, with just small variations in pressure able to tip it one way or another.
Tag: CBT
A great expression
I'm always keen on interesting CBT shots, but it's the expression on the ladies face that really makes this image. I like to think he has just moaned loudly and that's her reaction to it. Half amused at his cries and half quizzical about the level of pain. She's pondering does it really hurt or is he exaggerating? Should she should give it another twist to see if she can get an even better sound out of him?
This is from the Divine Bitches site. I'm afraid I don't know the name of the lovely lady in the glasses. I found it on the Alternative Femdom tumblr.
Lacking all reason
My previous post featured what I thought was a good article on the positive side of mixing discussion, consent and sex. Today's post brings you the flipside – a really stupid post on sex and consent. Other bloggers may aim to bring you only good things; I like to go with more of a harmonious yin and yang approach.
The article is (ironically) from Reason magazine and is entitled 'California's Sexual Consent Law Will Ruin Good Sex for Women'. It was prompted by the recent 'Yes means Yes' law passed in California, which aims to shift the emphasis in colleges from an assumption of consent to a need to actively gain consent. There's an interesting discussion to be had about that law, but the Reason article by Shikha Dalmia certainly isn't it. The bit that really irked me was this…
…there is usually a difference in tempo between men and women, with women generally requiring more "convincing." And someone who requires convincing is not yet in a position to offer "affirmative" much less "enthusiastic" consent. That doesn't mean that the final experience is unsatisfying — but it does mean that initially one has to be coaxed out of one's comfort zone. Affirmative consent would criminalize that.
The reality is that much of sex is not consensual — but it is also not non-consensual. It resides in a gray area in between, where sexual experimentation and discovery happen.
I'm going to resist the temptation to draw conclusions about Shikha Dalmia's sex life based on this. I can say it's pretty piss poor logic with no apparent understanding of what consent means.
One of the great things that exploring kink has done for me is helped me to discuss and negotiate sexual activity. If you grow up watching sex in movies (both mainstream and porn) you get the impression that great sex just happens automatically. One minute the cynical private eye is trading witty barbs and smouldering looks with his femme fatale client, the next minute, just after she's tried to slap him, they're having amazing sex without so much as a yes, no or maybe. In reality experimentation, and the discussion that must go along with it, makes everything better. I've never yet had a mutual fantasy ruined by talking about it. I've had plenty of experiences where misunderstanding and a lack of communication definitely made things worse.
Hopefully the gentleman in this image got all his discussion out of the way up front, as his current options look decidedly limited. The image is of course from Divine Bitches.
There's an app for that
I've been meaning to write a highly critical post about the Good2Go app that Slate reviewed a few days ago. Fortunately, as is often the way, my
laziness carefully calculated procrastination has paid off, with the Girl on the net doing the job for me. In a far more coherent way than I would have managed, she accurately points out that consent isn't a simple contract approved with a one time rubber stamp. It certainly shouldn't be a rubber stamp skewed towards 'yes' that gets recorded to some cloud database.
While this particular app is stupid, I've often thought there was a role for an app in managing BDSM activity lists. If you've not seen one of these before, take a look at this particular example. That gives 200 different activities, with 10 different interest level designators, checkboxes for what you've tried and top/bottom differentiation. What's more it's formatted to be printed out, so presumably the idea is you fill it out on paper and take it along to play parties. I've got to think that an app would be better than handing out flyers to everyone you meet in the dungeon. The app couldn't negotiate the scene for you, but it could at least do a quick intersection of two different lists and highlight the overlap. Plus, you could update it on the fly and maintain switchable lists for different situations. We could call it the iHanky.
I'm not sure what the gentleman below put on his activity list, but I hope he put a 5 against 'Getting injected into the urethra with a solution made from Tabasco sauce'. Because judging by what the two ladies are holding, that's what he's about to enjoy.
This image is from Baroness Essex, an English pro-domme based in East Anglia and London. It features the Baroness with her PA Katherine. I found it via the Bei Fuss tumblr.
Taut for twanging
This is a nice predicament bondage set-up. The straps on the table stretch him out and then the cords keep everything nice and taut. She looks like someone plucking at a musical instrument, so I'd guess that one of the cords just got twanged. I do know that if I was in this position Lydia would be unable to resist tickling the soles of my feet, leading to much jerking and tugging of delicate parts.
This is of course from Divine Bitches.
James Franco's Kink
I've been waiting to watch the kink documentary for a while now. It first popped up back in 2013, but it seems Mr Franco is practicing a form of tease and denial, because it has been very hard to track down. There's a new trailer out, which you can see in this recent article/interview on the film. Yet, despite a release date of August 22, I can't seem to find a showtime anywhere for it. So while millions might be browsing kink.com's erotic material via tumblr everyday, the documentary remains more elusive than a helpful comment on youtube.
The image is from the kink.com site Men in Pain. It features the brilliant Clarie Adams and the strangely named but equally great EuroSex.
Mixing work and pleasure
I've featured unusual scientific research on pain in past posts. A recent article from io9 continues this theme with details of 1933 experiment that lovers of CBT may find familiar. I'm proud to say it featured a couple of British scientists, whose names have sadly not entered history alongside other greats like Newton, Faraday and Darwin.
They were researching referred pain, a strange phenomena where damage to one part of the body manifests as pain in an entirely different part. They needed an easy way of causing pain and, being men, immediately turned to the idea of squeezing testicles. Also being good scientists, rather than the evil crazy kind, they experimented on themselves, using weights to apply controlled pressure. Presumably the Nut Crusher had yet to be invented. Their conclusion was that testicular pain also manifested in the torso, on the same side as the squeezed testicle. Perhaps my male readers can confirm or deny the truth of this finding? Or maybe try a repeat run? It's not kinky, it's just good old fashioned research.
Apparently the originally published paper doesn't list who inflicted the pain on who. Personally I wonder if they persuaded an attractive medical student to do the job. You know, for science.
This couple appear to be conducting an experiment of their own. I'm not sure if it's under controlled conditions, but she's certainly generating a statistically significant amount of pain. I found the image on the Innocence is Bliss tumblr. I believe it's originally from the Female Dom site.
This image will doubtless provoke various different reactions in the viewer. I'd predict everything from an 'Ouch' through a 'Yuck' up to an 'OMG! That's hot!' I wonder how many people out there are like me, and started thinking about vectors, pivot points and applied forces. Possibly I've looked at too much porn. Probably I'm still harboring the remains of my crush on Miss Thompson from my high school applied mathematics classes. But I somehow can't help imagining her drawing lines of force on this picture and telling us to calculate just how many Newtons of force Clair Adams is applying to this gentleman's testicles (for an assumed mass of Clair).
This is from the Men in Pain site.
Learning to scream
It's important that a masochist learns to scream correctly. Not to mention moan, whimper, flinch and wince. Volume or pitch isn't important, but consistency and honesty is. Anytime I play I'm trying to give good feedback about the intensity of the experience and what headspace I'm in. It's not like I get hit and then think "Hmmm, that feels like a level 7 moan. And maybe a level 5 flinch." Instead I aim for a natural transparent reaction, and to resist the urge to occasionally exaggerate my response in order to control the scene. When the intensity is ratcheting up it can sometimes be tempting to do that and get ahead of what I know might be coming.
Of course, an expert domme can normally accurately assess just how painful her actions are and how genuine the reaction to them is. For the less experienced then help maybe at hand. It turns out that computers can be amazingly good at judging how genuine a reaction to pain is. According to this article, when shown video of people experiencing or faking pain, humans were essentially hopeless at guessing which was which, while computer software got it right 85% of the time. I find that an astonishing number. It would be interesting to put a selection of dominants through the same test and see if they were any better at spotting the fakers. I also wonder if adding sound to the test would have significantly improved the score for the humans.
Apparently one of the best indicators is the dynamics of the mouth opening. I'd guess this scene would provide some useful training data for the software. I don't think he's faking it.
This is from the Men in Pain site. I found it on the Alternative Femdom tumblr.
Ball, balls and ball
I can't claim to be a huge an of this ladies outfit – it smacks too much of motorbike magazine cover girl for me – but I do like what she's done with this suspension. He's been tied into a tight ball, then she has tied his balls up, and then she's hung a metal ball from his balls. It's a ball trifecta.
I'm also thinking that the soles of his feet are going to be awfully vulnerable in this position, and she still has that cane lying on the floor. Bastinado on top of suspension and CBT would be wonderfully evil.
This is originally from the Men in Pain site. I found it on the written in the water tumblr.
