Vanadium is a silvery-gray, soft and ductile metal with good corrosion resistance to alkalis, sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid and salt water. It oxidizes in air at temperatures exceeding 660˚C to vanadium pentoxide (V2O5). Vanadium was discovered in 1801 by Andrés Manuel del Rio, and then it was rediscovered 30 years later by Nils Gabriel Sefström who named it vanadium after the Scandanvian goddess, Vanadis.
Roughly 80 percent of vanadium that is produced is used as ferrovanadium as an additive to strengthen steels. In small amounts, vanadium can significantly increase the strength of steel. As such, it is used in the production of rust-resistant high-speed springs for use in nuclear applications, as well as in steel tools and surgical instruments. Vanadium also acts as a stabilizer for titanium, providing an increase in strength and temperature stability. When combined with titanium and aluminum, the resulting titanium-aluminum-vanadium alloy is used for jet engines and high-speed aircraft.
Vanadium pentoxide, the most popular oxide of vanadium, is used as a catalyst in the manufacture of sulfuric acid. It is also used to make ceramics. Vanadium is also emerging with significant importance in the manufacture of vanadium redox batteries, which employs vanadium ions in difference states to store chemical potential energy. The technology is geared at creating unlimited power storage tanks to meet increased energy demands.
Vanadium is never found unbound in nature. However, it is found in approximately 65 different minerals including, patronite, carnotite and vanadinite and in fossil fuel deposits. Vanadium is also found as a byproduct of uranium mining and in steel slag and fly ash. Any vanadium obtained through slag and fly ash forms ferrovanadium, a mixture of iron and vanadium that can be used in place of pure vanadium.
Most of the world's vanadium is comes from vanadium-bearing magnetite found in ultramafic gabbro bodies. Vanadium occurs in deposits of titaniferous magnetite, phosphate rock and uraniferous sandstone and siltstone. Typically, vanadium constitutes less than 2 percent of the host rock.
The top vanadium-producing countries according to the US Geological Survey were South Africa, China and Russia. China produced 41,000 tonnes last year, South Africa came in second at 21,000 tonnes and Russia's output for 2014 was 15,000 tonnes, with all three countries matching their previous years' production totals. Australia, Peru, southwestern United States and Madagascar all have the potential to become large future producers of the metal. Vanadium is the 13 most abundant element in the Earth's crust. However, commercially viable deposits are rare and world-class deposits even more so.
While it's most commonly used as an additive to strengthen steel alloys, the BBC reported last year that demand for vanadium from the energy sector may increase in the coming years as the world shifts to more sustainable power generation.
One solution, which was created in the early 1980s, is the vanadium-redox batteries (VRB), a product that could revolutionize the way we store energy. While a patent on the product prevented much development up until 2006, the VRB is now sparking the interest of many, with countries like Japan and Germany starting to provide subsidies to companies working in the energy storage industry. In March 2014, Japan decided to make this possible after the Fukushima nuclear accident which heightened energy supply issues.
As mentioned, there are few countries currently mining vanadium, which also means very few companies. One company currently producing is Largo Resources (TSXV:LGO) with its Maracas Menchen mine in Brazil, which has a measured plus indicated mineral resource of 24.6 million tonnes at 1.11 percent V2O5.
There are also a few companies exploring for vanadium, such as VanadiumCorp Resource (TSXV:VRB), with its Lac Dore vanadium project and Iron-T Vanadium project, both of which are in Quebec and Australia-based Yellow Rock Resources (ASX:YRR), with its high-grade Gabanintha project.

I'd love a new dress for the pre-Christmas dinner out my boyfriend and I will have before we both go off to enjoy the holidays with our respective families.
I'd love to give a dress to my wife. She is an amazing woman that single handedly orchestrated our move from Ontario to California as I had to be working during the time, and is now plowing thru unpacking all of our stuff while handling a 3.5 year old. She deserves something nice! 🙂
I would love to win a new dress to wear to my cousin's baby shower next month! I am sadly lacking in wardrobe options…oh dear!

And I just tweeted the giveaway (@chipchiphooray)!
I love Shabby Apple – and the fact that I can get on and enter my body type. I would love a new dress. Honestly, I've gained some weight (I am trying to take it off) and a lot of my clothes don't fit me well anymore. We just don't have the money for anything new right now…

I am in love! I need a new dress because the husband and I have 3 upcoming trips before New Years Eve….and so far I have nothing to wear out on a fancy date to either of them!
After losing weight, I don't have many clothes that fit me and a new dress would be great to start my new wardrobe. Plus all these dresses are too cute!
I'm on the quest for a cute but sophisticated dress for my college graduation on December 10th. I tweeted the giveaway too!
I just tweeted about it too! 🙂
I have been sick on and off all month, I need something to feel pretty again instead of a contagious mess!!!!
I need a new dress to go with the new cowboy boots that are arriving in the mail today!
I've never heard of this site, but wow! All of the dresses are just stunning! I would love a new dress because those days when I don't feel so beautiful inside, I find that wearing a beautiful outfit makes me feel so much better.

Who *wouldn't* want a new dress? 🙂
I haven't bought a new dress in ages because I haven't really liked the styles I've been seeing, or the style isn't one that is flattering on me. It can be tough to find a dress that looks good on someone who is short with ZERO torso! I love that Shabby Apple has so many vintage inspired dressed (totally me) and dresses that are made for every body shape. There's no way I can't find one that would be the perfect match for me!
Fun giveaway. I'd love a new dress but I would have a hard time passing one up for my little girl…. 😉
Why do I need a new dress?…Hmmmm… Because cute dresses are like shoes, belts, and purses, a girl can never have too many 🙂
There is always a need for a new dress, no special occasion required!
Hi Lori,
Wow great looking dresses!!! I would love a new dress to feel a little bit like a girl again, right now I'm neck deep in boy-land…..would be an awesome departure from the usual jeans and t-shirts I've been wearing lately 🙂
I think I'd buy a dress for my niece! The spirit of giving sways me from just wanting one for myself 🙂
LOVE Shabby Apple. I stalk their website a lot and drool over clothes I could never afford with my zero dollar clothing budget. If I won, I'd pick out a dress I could wear to a business meeting during which I'd promote my company. Then I could wear the dress out to a lovely dinner with my hubby to celebrate the new business I won!
I need a new dress so that I can wear something more lady-like than yoga pants all the time!

Youth Quotes (52 quotes)
La jeunesse est une ivresse continuelle: cest la fièvre de la raison.
Youth is continual intoxication; it is a fever of reason.
Youth is continual intoxication; it is a fever of reason.
A man that is young in years may be old in hours, if he has lost no time.
A young doctor makes a humpy churchyard.
All of us are interested in our roots. Generally this interest is latent in youth, and grows with age. Until I reached fifty I thought that history of science was a refuge for old scientists whose creative juices had dried up. Now of course I know that I was wrong! As we grow older, we become more interested in the past, in family history, local history, etc. Astronomy is, or was when I started in it, almost a family.
Almost always the men who achieve these fundamental inventions of a new paradigm have been either very young or very new to the field whose paradigm they change.
An extra-terrestrial philosopher, who had watched a single youth up to the age of twenty-one and had never come across any other human being, might conclude that it is the nature of human beings to grow continually taller and wiser in an indefinite progress towards perfection; and this generalization would be just as well founded as the generalization which evolutionists base upon the previous history of this planet.
As few subjects are more interesting to society, so few have been more frequently written upon than the education of youth.
But nothing is more estimable than a physician who, having studied nature from his youth, knows the properties of the human body, the diseases which assail it, the remedies which will benefit it, exercises his art with caution, and pays equal attention to the rich and the poor.
Experience hobbles progress and leads to abandonment of difficult problems; it encourages the initiated to walk on the shady side of the street in the direction of experiences that have been pleasant. Youth without experience attacks the unsolved problems which maturer age with experience avoids, and from the labors of youth comes progress. Youth has dreams and visions, and will not be denied.
Faraday, who had no narrow views in regard to education, deplored the future of our youth in the competition of the world, because, as he said with sadness, our school-boys, when they come out of school, are ignorant of their ignorance at the end of all that education.
Follow Descartes! Do not give up the religion of your youth until you get a better one.
Here about the beach I wandered, nourishing a youth sublime
With the fairy tales of science, and the long result of Time.
With the fairy tales of science, and the long result of Time.
I have been especially fortunate for about 50 years in having two memory banks available—whenever I can't remember something I ask my wife, and thus I am able to draw on this auxiliary memory bank. Moreover, there is a second way In which I get ideas ... I listen carefully to what my wife says, and in this way I often get a good idea. I recommend to ... young people ... that you make a permanent acquisition of an auxiliary memory bank that you can become familiar with and draw upon throughout your lives.
I suppose that the first chemists seemed to be very hard-hearted and unpoetical persons when they scouted the glorious dream of the alchemists that there must be some process for turning base metals into gold. I suppose that the men who first said, in plain, cold assertion, there is no fountain of eternal youth, seemed to be the most cruel and cold-hearted adversaries of human happiness. I know that the economists who say that if we could transmute lead into gold, it would certainly do us no good and might do great harm, are still regarded as unworthy of belief. Do not the money articles of the newspapers yet ring with the doctrine that we are getting rich when we give cotton and wheat for gold rather than when we give cotton and wheat for iron?
If I would be a young man again and had to decide how to make my living, I would not try to become a scientist or scholar or teacher. I would rather choose to be a plumber or a peddler in the hope to find that modest degree of independence still available under present circumstances.
If you wish to die young, make your physician your heir.
In a lot of scientists, the ratio of wonder to skepticism declines in time. That may be connected with the fact that in some fields—mathematics, physics, some others—the great discoveries are almost entirely made by youngsters.
In my youth I often asked what could be the use and necessity of smelting by putting powdered charcoal at the bottom of the furnace. Nobody could give me any other reason except that the metal and especially lead, could bury itself in the charcoal and so be protected against the action of the bellows which would calcine or dissipate it. Nevertheless it is evident that this does not answer the question. I accordingly examined the operation of a metallurgical furnace and how it was used. In assaying some litharge [lead oxide], I noticed each time a little charcoal fell into the crucible, I always obtained a bit of lead I do not think up to the present time foundry-men ever surmised that in the operation of founding with charcoal there was something [phlogiston] which became corporeally united with the metal.
In old age, you realise that while you're divided from your youth by decades, you can close your eyes and summon it at will. As a writer it puts one at a distinct advantage.
It is a happy world after all. The air, the earth, the water teem with delighted existence. In a spring noon, or a summer evening, on whichever side I turn my eyes, myriads of happy beings crowd upon my view. The insect youth are on the wing. Swarms of new-born flies are trying their pinions in the air. Their sportive motions, their wanton mazes, their gratuitous activity testify their joy and the exultation they feel in their lately discovered faculties The whole winged insect tribe, it is probable, are equally intent upon their proper employments, and under every variety of constitution, gratified, and perhaps equally gratified, by the offices which the author of their nature has assigned to them.
It is only by introducing the young to great literature, drama and music, and to the excitement of great science that we open to them the possibilities that lie within the human spiritenable them to see visions and dream dreams.
Jim and I hit it off immediately, partly because our interests were astonishingly similar and partly, I suspect, because a certain youthful arrogance, a ruthlessness, an impatience with sloppy thinking can naturally to both of us.
Learning is ever in the freshness of its youth, even for the old.
Mathematics is like childhood diseases. The younger you get it, the better.
My original decision to devote myself to science was a direct result of the discovery which has never ceased to fill me with enthusiasm since my early youththe comprehension of the far from obvious fact that the laws of human reasoning coincide with the laws governing the sequences of the impressions we receive from the world about us; that, therefore, pure reasoning can enable man to gain an insight into the mechanism of the latter. In this connection, it is of paramount importance that the outside world is something independent from man, something absolute, and the quest for the laws which apply to this absolute appeared to me as the most sublime scientific pursuit in life.
No mathematician should ever allow him to forget that mathematics, more than any other art or science, is a young man's game. Galois died at twenty-one, Abel at twenty-seven, Ramanujan at thirty-three, Riemann at forty. There have been men who have done great work later; [but] I do not know of a single instance of a major mathematical advance initiated by a man past fifty. A mathematician may still be competent enough at sixty, but it is useless to expect him to have original ideas.
One should guard against preaching to the young man success in the customary sense as the aim in life. ... The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community.
Profundity of thought belongs to youth, clarity of thought to old age.
Several of my young acquaintances are in their graves who gave promise of making happy and useful citizens and there is no question whatever that cigarettes alone were the cause of their destruction. No boy living would commence the use of cigarettes if he knew what a useless, soulless, worthless thing they would make of him.

Socrates said, our only knowledge was
To know that nothing could be known; a pleasant
Science enough, which levels to an ass

Newton, (that Proverb of the Mind,) alas!

That he himself felt only like a youth

Some of my youthful readers are developing wonderful imaginations. This pleases me. Imagination has brought mankind through the Dark Ages to its present state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America. Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity. Imagination has given us the steam engine, the telephone, the talking-machine and the automobile, for these things had to be dreamed of before they became realities. So I believe that dreamsday dreams, you know, with your eyes wide open and your brain-machinery whizzingare likely to lead to the betterment of the world. The imaginative child will become the imaginative man or woman most apt to create, to invent, and therefore to foster civilization. A prominent educator tells me that fairy tales are of untold value in developing imagination in the young. I believe it.
Statistical accounts are to be referred to as a dictionary by men of riper years, and by young men as a grammar, to teach them the relations and proportions of different statistical subjects, and to imprint them on the mind at a time when the memory is capable of being impressed in a lasting and durable manner, thereby laying the foundation for accurate and valuable knowledge.
That the enthusiasm which characterizes youth should lift its parricide hands against freedom and science would be such a monstrous phenomenon as I cannot place among possible things in this age and country.
[Expressing confidence in the next generation to preserve the freedom of the human mind, and of the press, which grew out of America's Declaration of Independence.]
[Expressing confidence in the next generation to preserve the freedom of the human mind, and of the press, which grew out of America's Declaration of Independence.]
The days of my youth extend backward to the dark ages, for I was born when the rush-light, the tallow-dip or the solitary blaze of the hearth were common means of indoor lighting, and an infrequent glass bowl, raised 8 or 10 feet on a wooden post, and containing a cup full of evil-smelling train-oil with a crude cotton wick stuck in it, served to make the darkness visible out of doors. In the chambers of the great, the wax candle or, exceptionally, a multiplicity of them, relieved the gloom on state occasions, but as a rule, the common people, wanting the inducement of indoor brightness such as we enjoy, went to bed soon after sunset.
The great object I desire to accomplish by this institution [the Cooper Institute], is to open the avenues of scientific knowledge to the youth of our country, so unfolding the volume of Nature, that the young may see the beauties of creation.
The most important thing we can do is inspire young minds and to advance the kind of science, math and technology education that will help youngsters take us to the next phase of space travel.
The pulse of a newborn during the neonatal period is very rapid the pulse of old people is rather slow the pulse is fullest and strongest in the prime years of youth.
Theorists tend to peak at an early age; the creative juices tend to gush very early and start drying up past the age of fifteenor so it seems. They need to know just enough; when theyre young they havent accumulated the intellectual baggage.
There is one best path to the mountain crest; yet there are other paths, nearly as good. Let Youth be assured that the steeps of success have as many paths as there are stout-hearted climbers.
There was a young fellow from Trinity,
Who took the square root of infinity.
But the number of digits,
Gave him the fidgets;
He dropped Math and took up Divinity.

Thou hast nor youth nor age,
But as it were an after-dinner's sleep
Dreaming on both; for all thy blessed youth
Becomes as aged, and doth beg the alms
Of palsied eld.
But as it were an after-dinner's sleep
Dreaming on both; for all thy blessed youth

Of palsied eld.
Thou, youthful seeker after knowledge, investigate and experiment and never desist therefrom, for thou willst harvest, fruits a thousand-fold.
To stay young requires unceasing cultivation of the ability to unlearn old falsehoods.
Today the world changes so quickly that in growing up we take leave not just of youth but of the world we were young in. Fear and resentment of what is new is really a lament for the memories of our childhood.
We have refused to recognize the creativity of youth. We dont want our children to write poetry or go to the stars. We want them to go steady, get married and have four children.
We need to engage and inspire todays youth to do a much better job of protecting the planet and our future than we have. My grandfather raised me believing in the power of youth to change the world. Education and young people are key to making sure we dont keep repeating our mistakes.
What I then got hold of, something frightful and dangerous, a problem with horns but not necessarily a bull, in any case a new problemtoday I should say that it was the problem of science itself, science considered for the first time as problematic, as questionable. But the book in which my youthful courage and suspicion found an outletwhat an impossible book had to result from a task so uncongenial to youth! Constructed from a lot of immature, overgreen personal experiences, all of them close to the limits of communication, presented in the context of artfor the problem of science cannot be recognized in the context of sciencea book perhaps for artists who also have an analytic and retrospective penchant (in other words, an exceptional type of artist for whom one might have to look far and wide and really would not care to look)
Will our Philosophy to later Life
Seem but a crudeness of the planet's youth,
Our Wisdom but a parasite of Truth?
Seem but a crudeness of the planet's youth,
Our Wisdom but a parasite of Truth?
Young men should prove theorems, old men should write books.
Though leaves are many, the root is one;
Through all the lying days of my youth
I swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun;
Now I may wither into the truth.
Though leaves are many, the root is one;

Youth disserves; middle age conserves; old age preserves.

Check Processing Sales Lessons from a 10 Year Old
Posted by Matt Nern on Tue, Sep 18, 2012 @ 10:00 AM
Matt Nern leads a sales team in Dallas, Texas. Matt relies on years of experience as a sales leader in the payment processing and automotive industries when he's training new reps to sell check guarantee. He's an expert motivator and sales coach, but he's always on the lookout for new sales tips. Here's a story from Matt with some valuable advice for sales professionals.
A co-worker recently asked me to name some of my favorite sales people and sales motivators. One name immediately came to mind, Billy Grubb. Billy Grubb may have been one of the greatest salespeople to walk the planet. This dude was charismatic, had a great smile, knew his stuff and...was ten years old! I met Billy ten years ago living in Northern California. Billy was "the neighborhood kid," the one who seemed to own Wright Street outright. The kid was always managing a lemonade stand, cutting a lawn, chasing his friends or chatting up any adult who would listen.
I lived in an World War II era home at the time, the type of house with a great big living room window. It was my window to the world of Wright Street. I could see everything. One particular summer evening I could see Billy making his way up the street with what looked like a pail of sand. He made a dash towards my next door neighbor's driveway and I thought nothing more of it. Ten minutes later the little kid was sauntering up my walkway. There was no time to duck and hide, he had made eye contact with me.
The doorbell rang. My mind raced with an excuse to keep the conversation short and sweet. The kid was a talker almost to a fault. Nice kid, but he had no problem describing in detail an entire episode of Scooby Doo if given the stage. So there he was in all his glory, hair combed, shirt tucked in and a small bucket in hand. "Hey Mr. Nern, do you prefer left over spaghetti or chicken soup?" Billy said with a wide-grinned smile.
Confused and not sure what the kid was up to, I half-heartedly said, "Yes, leftover spaghetti is a real crowd pleaser, Billy. Now what I can do for you?"
"Well, great, Mr. Nern, because this container I have in my hand is absolutely perfect for leftover spaghetti. It's heavy duty with a secure lid and will keep the flavor and freshness stored in. It even has this handle to carry it to work. And as an extra bonus this container is filled with three pounds of cookie dough for you! How many would you like to buy?'
Sweet mother of the sales gods, I thought to myself. I was awe struck at his presentation. This was the stuff of legend. The stuff I've spent my entire professional career teaching to sales rookies and lifelong professionals. The lad had a gleam in his eye, passion for his product and lured me into the conversation with an off-balance open ended question. It was text book.
No kidding, I bought 15 pounds of cookie dough and I'm not even a fan of cookies. I told the kid I was very impressed with his presentation and frankly had never purchased cookie dough from any other kid in the past. Billy told me that this was a school promotion and every kid in Santa Rosa was going to be hawking cookie dough for a chance to win a bicycle. He said at first he was simply telling folks he was selling cookie dough for a fund raiser and no one was buying. So he changed his presentation and rather than telling people what he was doing he asked questions and gave them something more than just frozen cookie dough to buy.
So the lesson of the story is this...if you are leading in with saving your client a buck or two or worse yet telling them what you are doing without either having something of substance, or an idea of your client's needs, you are short changing yourself and wasting your client's time. If you really think about it, this is common sense. How do you like to be sold? You know the answer but, all too often, sales rookies and professionals alike revert to "telling selling" rather than "engaging selling."
Billy did win the bicycle and continued to make his sales presence known throughout the neighborhood. Shortly after the cookie dough episode I hired him to cut my lawn for $10.00 a week. A few weeks later I was a little perplexed to see his younger brother, Kevin, cutting my front lawn early one Saturday morning. Billy was hanging out in my driveway or as he termed it "managing." Billy told me his lawn cutting business was expanding and he subcontracted the work to his little brother for $5.00 per week. "Subcontracting," really? Ten years old!
I think of Billy when I explain that I sell peace of mind to my merchants. Some may think that check guarantee services provide protection from bad checks, and they do, but more than that, they mean less worry and fewer headaches. And that's almost as good a two-in-one leftover container! For your own peace of mind, sign up today for a no-obligation, free consultation.

I usually carry my Dan Wesson CBOB in cold months or my Kahr PM9 when it's warmer. Both are reliable and accurate. But lately, I've been checking out the CZ family of firearms and am impressed with the PRC and the RAMI 2075 in 9mm. Just having trouble making up my mind which one I want. (and I can't afford both)
After my usual reliablity check of 500 rounds I would want to put in my carry rotation.
Any of you that have owned both and can offer advise on which one you prefer, and why? I'm 6'6" and 255 pounds so I don't think I'll have any trouble concealing either one.
If you have any pictures of your favorite carry holsters for your CZs, it would also be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!

Great organic low-carb/zero-carb olives

Very tasty and good organic olives, great to support low-carb/zero-carb dieters that do not want to make concessions with good food. Of course the ones with the stones are fullier tasty, but thiese are so convenient for cooking(quiches, cake-salés, pizzas, etc), salads, sandwiches...
Good taste

These olives have a slight bitterness to them if you eat them straight. So, it seems they are the real deal when it comes to olives. However, once added to food receipes the flavor comes thru very nicely.
Cheaper then in Norway
Posted by HildeK on Apr 05, 2012 | Verified Purchase
If you take the fact that these are pitted, and the most commonly sold brand of organic olives sold in Norway is sold with stone, these is actually noticeable cheaper then what I have been able to find around here, shipping included.

Secrets Of A Killer Media Buyer: Adaptablility
Top industry experts describe how important it is to be flexible and malleable, not only with your skill-set, but your expectations as well.
PSFK is revisiting our original series on the ins and outs of the Media Buying industry.
At PSFK, we monitor the constantly changing and endlessly updating digital media landscape, on a daily basis. We devour and curate content, but we thought that it would be interesting and intriguing to get the low-down on how these changes are effecting the industry from those for whom buying and selling media is their livelihood. We heard from the experts about what it takes to be truly successful in the biz.
In our segment on adaptability, we learned about the changing nature of the job of the media buyer itself. How working in an industry that is constantly innovating and updating, forces those in it to be able to expand their job description and skill set in order to be effective. A good media buyer needs to be ready for anything, and open to anything.

Winter Leagues 12/13 — Gonzalez Scores The Tying Run
Checking in on a little bit of winter league action for Pirates' players and friends... the Venezuelan and Dominican Leagues have a scheduled day off today
Leones de Ponce 3, Criollos de Caguas 2
Los Criollos took a 1-0 lead into the middle of the 8th inning. Los Leones began their rally with a one-out walk, and Benji Gonzalez came on as a pinch-runner. He scored the tying run from first base on an RBI double, and a single drove in Los Leones' go-ahead run. Gonzalez remained in the game at third base, while former Pirate RJ Rodriguez took over on the mound for the top of the 9th. Rodriguez gave up a single and a walk, with a wild pitch, putting Los Criollos' runners on the corners. Another single drove in the runner from third, tying the game ...

Tips For a Successful Phone Interview
Many companies now prefer to do a phone interview before bringing the candidate on-site. So how should you prepare yourself for this first step in the hiring process in order to make a good impression?
Know who is calling
Make sure to take note of the interviewer's name or the names of the people calling. It's important when speaking to them to address them by first name and make sure you're getting it correct. It would make a bad impression to think that they introduced themselves as "Terry" and you kept calling them "Kerry".
Do your research
Research the company; typically one of the first questions asked is, "What do you know about the company?" When a candidate hasn't done their research, this does not usually bode well for them. It's best to research the "in and outs" of the organization and impress them with your knowledge. Not only does this show you've done your homework, but shows your interest as well.
Editors Note: Countless studies have shown that professionally-written resumes get more interviews. Compare Resume Writing and Resume Editing to see which of our services is right for you.
Dress the part
To some this may sound silly, but it's still important to dress up for the phone interview. This will give you confidence and improve your responses. When candidates interview in casual clothes, responses often become too relaxed and give a lazy impression.
Find a great space
It's important to find a spot that gives more of an office feeling. Make sure to have your resume, questions to ask and any other pertinent information in front of you.
Practice makes perfect
As with any sport, you practice to get better and get yourself prepared for the "big game." I recommend practicing for the phone interview: Find a list of typical interview questions—you can 'Google' a list and practice your responses. While doing this, practice your voice projection as well.
Have a glass of water beside you, because there is nothing more irritating then trying to speak with a dry throat. Remember to sit up during the interview, as this will aid in voice projection. Let the interviewer(s) lead the conversation. And finally, the most important thing of all is to have fun and be yourself.

If there's one recreational substance that has been used and enjoyed by various people of different walks of life through time, then it would be marijuana. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, artists, musicians, actors, military men and even politicians use it. Obviously, not many of these professionals would admit it openly.
It goes by many popular names like weed, reefers, joint, pot, ganja and more. It appeals to many people because of its organic properties and characteristics.
There are many ways to smoke marijuana. The most basic of which is by rolling it in a small piece of paper and smoking it like a normal cigarette. Other ways include the use of a pipe or a bong. These are the usual ways of smoking but of course, through time, more creative, more effective and easier ways have been developed to truly enjoy weed. These include the use of an inhaler for administration, collecting the smoke in a balloon and sucking all the smoke from the balloon, smoking inside a car or any enclosed space (usually called the 'hot box') and others.
And then, there's the gas mask bong. This device is truly a revolutionary way of enjoying the substance efficiently without wasting anything. Plus it looks so awesome that simply owning it is cool enough.
Gas mask bongs are just bongs attached to a gas mask. There are a lot of different kinds and designs of this product available in the market but all these work in the same way. You just need to load the bong with pot (sometimes, you need to insert a pipe in the inlet), use a lighter to light the weed, and then suck up all the smoke. The smoke will collect inside the gas mask and the person wearing it will be breathing all of the smoke inside the gas mask, without wasting any of it, guaranteeing a definite high.
The concept is pretty much like a hot box but with the space where the smoke will be trapped a lot smaller and more concentrated to one person.
This definitely is a more effective and efficient way of smoking and getting high. Plus the theatrical aspect of it is just so awesome that you are sure to have a lot of fun doing it and watching your friends smoke with you.

Mother Jordan is the eldest daughter of the five children born to Frank and Elnora Joy in Eutawville, South Carolina. She is a proud graduate of the Orangeburg County school system, located in Holly Hill, South Carolina.
Irene's religious experience began at the tender age of eight when her family began attending Johnson Temple, COGIC. There she listened to the fiery preached word, diligently attended Sunday school, YPWW and was very active in youth activities.
Young Wilhelmenia attended South Carolina State College. After graduating from school she moved to Morristown, New Jersey and became a member of the Church of God in Christ under the leadership of the late Bishop Keith. In Morristown, she continued to be very active in the church and her passion for being a servant of the Lord waxed stronger.
Wilhelmenia Joy eventually moved to the Washington, DC area and became a member at the Refreshing Spring COGIC, which was under the dynamic leadership of Pastor Archie D. Headen. At "the Spring" she continued to grow in the Lord and participated in multiple activities and auxiliaries.
One Sunday evening in YPWW she shared bibles with a young minister named James E. Jordan, Jr. and because of his persistence they very soon became a couple. The two love birds got married on October 30, 1965. Happily married for forty-six years, First Lady Jordan relishes her roles as wife, mother, grandmother, ministry leader, prayer partner and whatever else the Lord finds for her to do. Refreshing Spring is a blessed church to have this woman with the heart of God serving as an angel in this house.

Mother Teresa, who was awarded the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize, dedicated her life to the sick and hungry. Her simple message was "the poor must know that we love them". Her followers regarded her as a saint, but Mother Teresa believed she was only doing God's work. Amidst the poverty and slums of Calcutta, Mother Teresa's efforts provided shelter to thousands of the sick and dying, and ensured that thousands of children were cared for and given foster parents. More than two million sick, including nearly fifty thousand lepers, were treated by mobile dispensaries and special clinics. But for Mother Teresa, the Nobel Peace Prize was simply a gift to the poor. (source www.Nobelprize.org)

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
About week ago, as I rifled through a nearly ten-year-old folder on my older Mac (the G4 Tower), I was reacquainted unexpectedly with a letter that I wrote to a friend in late autumn of 2003. Planted throughout this dated missive are the seeds from which Kung Fu Grip! zine and several other of my projects, perhaps even this blog, have flowered. I'd like to think that I've become a slightly better writer since then–but this letter wasn't originally intended for mass consumption, either. So, I should prolly forgive myself for its faults. I mean, its still a good enough read, methinks. Most private letters are, right?
Submitted for your persual, the Tao of Kung Fu Grip.
November 14, 2003
I feel like a writer today and so I'm writing you this letter. It won't be very long, though. Just an 'arts & life' update.
My phone service was interrupted this past Monday due to non payment. Apparently, I misread the disconnection notice, thinking that the payment didn't have to be made until 11/23. I was only half right and the phone was temporarily disconnected; if not paid by 11/23 it will be completely disconnected.
Hmmmmm...another lemon. So, what did I do? I made some proverbial lemonade.
Firstly, I cleaned the apartment––something I had neglected to do for almost two months. Sure, I had done some spot cleaning to keep some semblance of order, but there were other things that needed to get done that just kept getting put off...until the phone service was interrupted, that is.
"Hello, my name is St. Paco and I am an internet addict..."
After my cleaning chores I got back to some of my research, rereading a lot of the stuff I've downloaded over the past few years and establishing connections on various points that had been hoverin' in the back of my mind for some time. I then drew up this timeline and spent more time looking into this largely unknown tradition in medieval Europe where religious icons of a black Christ began to appear around the 11th century and to flourish throughout the 15th century, when the Spanish began to colonize other parts of the world.
After a day or two of that, it occurred to me that my more...secular writings were being neglected (again). I figured that – if nothing else – I could maybe get one more issue of Third Rail zine out this year; I have about six or seven essays in varying phases, from rough ideas to nearly finished.
I then started working on the Upski Wimsatt short story again, that I want to have in the second issue of Third Rail. As it's now at ten pages in length (zine-sized) and almost complete, it'll significantly help to cut down on the amount of pages that I will ultimately need to fill. I'm thinking that it'll be 36 pages long, like the first issue.
And then there's this "Count Dante: Deadliest Man Alive" article that's been burnin' in the back of my brain since July.
It's funny how you take things for granted. For instance, I always just took for granted that Count Dante was from Chicago. But seeing his full-page ad again earlier this year in an old Fantastic Four issue that I was flippin' through really brought it home to me, that sense of wonder that not only comic books held for us growin' up, but the advertisements within–especially the old martial arts ads.
It probably goes without saying that I think that Dante's was the crown jewel of such advertising.
Now, the article idea actually came to me after, merely out of curiosity, I searched the web for more information on the guy and found it almost IMPOSSIBLE to get anything on him. He'd practically fallen off the map, it seemed. Ultimately, though, I would come to learn that he actually died back in 1975–which I'm sure I didn't forget and just never knew.
Afterward, it occurred to me then that since my zine was loosely about old school hip-hop perspectives filtered through my experiences growing up in Chicago, I should write about him. Nothing is as old school and identifiable as the Count Dante "Black Dragon Fighting Society" ads that our generation was exposed to by way of comic books. Well, save for the equally memorable full-page ads by Charles Atlas and the Hostess Company.
With the Dante article, I even get to sneak in my deep appreciation of Bruce Lee and old kung-fu flicks. At the same time, too, I also get to throw in relevant references to my other childhood hero Muhammad Ali (who owned a home in Chicago back then) and even Jim Kelly, through utilizing that memorable movie quote that you also planned to use your own movie one day:
"Man...you come right out of a comic book."
– Jim Kelly, Enter the Dragon (1973)
It seems that those handmade Black Dragon Society stickers that I gave you were only an early manifestation of the work on Dante that was still to come, which has now culminated in a biography on the man himself for Third Rail zine. Now that I'm nearly finished with it, though, I honestly think it's good enough to submit to Giant Robot or some other mag.
Yanno, it would also be PERFECT for the Raw Like Sushi zine that we talked about doing together. But gawd only knows when that project will grow it's proverbial other foot; it takes one foot to stand but two to walk.
Early this year, I had envisioned this "King Kong Versus Godzilla" article (based on one of the indigenous populations of the South Pacific islands) as my first commercial writing project, but KKVSG is still months away from completion. And now the Dante article – though originally conceived and researched back in July – was just started this week and will be done by the weekend. After a few more proofreads, it'll be ready for submission somewhere.
And, yo, while writing this article I almost felt like Tarantino did while working on Kill Bill. The night that it was started I had take a break to watch that Bruce Lee vs. Mako episode of The Green Hornet, cuz I was just so hyped–which brings me to a thought.
Stumped this afternoon as to how I should end the article, it occurred to me to pull out a magazine that I'd bought from Tower Records on Alma School & Southern back when I was still living in Mesa. Kung-Fu magazine had done this cool Bruce Lee retrospective issue to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of Enter the Dragon.
Well, as an inspirational distraction I opened the magazine and read again the interviews with Dan Inosanto, Taky Kimura, Bruce's brother Robert, and others. And something that was mentioned in an interview with Richard Bustillo, one of Bruce's old running buddies and sparring partners, really stuck with me. It also made me think of you.
It was Bruce's reiteration the ancient belief that the ultimate knowledge "is self-knowledge." This saying is virtually as old as human spirituality itself.
And then, as he confided how Bruce helped him to be really "honest" with himself, Bustillo reports that Bruce told him: "When you think you can do this or that...don't think...just do it! Either you have it or you don't. Don't just say things like, 'Yeah, I want to do this or I want to do that.' Just do it."
Bustillo says that those words, coming from Bruce, changed his outlook on life. Maybe you can get something out of them, too. But I don't mean by simply reading them in this letter and saying, "Oh, that's cool." Take them, write them down or...cut them from this letter! Tape them to your desk, wall or computer so that you see them everyday until you OWN them:
The way I see it, they're not just Bruce's words of advice to Bustillo. It's tried-and-true advice for you, for me, and for anyone else who dreams of doing something crazy...like changing the world. Sometimes the secret is so simple that we miss it:
Just do it, bro. Just Jeet Kun Do it.

JULIA Gillard will reignite the foreign workers controversy with plans to introduce cash fines for bosses who fail to offer jobs to Australian workers first.
Warning that a "tick-a-box" approach currently applies to companies claiming they face local labour shortages without even advertising jobs, unions are pushing the Prime Minister to act before the September election.
The Sunday Telegraph can reveal cabinet will tomorrow night debate the measures, which include financial penalties for employers who lie or mislead authorities about labour shortages to import workers on 457 visas.
The 457 visa is the most commonly used program for employers to sponsor skilled overseas workers to work in Australia temporarily with a little more than 100,000 workers currently in Australia under the visa class.
The number of 457 visa classes has jumped 20 per cent in the last year.
Currently, bosses must claim there is a labour shortage to secure a foreign worker but do not have to prove it.
"Why do they like 457 visas if they have local labour available? Because they can deport these workers in a month," a senior government source claimed.
"It makes WorkChoices look like a picnic."
Senior government sources also said the Department of Immigration was reviewing "serious" allegations over exploitation of some low-skilled workers, suggesting there was a "fine line" between the abuse of 457s and labour trafficking.
Opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison said the Coalition was open to "common sense" reforms to the scheme but accused Immigration Minister Brendan O'Connor of grossly exaggerating the numbers of workers being exploited.
"Our real fear is they are using this as a Trojan horse to introduce industrial inspectors," Mr Morrison said.
"There's no doubt that immigration policy is being driven by the union movement and union donors to the Labor Party."
The crackdown follows a push by big union donors to the Labor Party to lock in the changes before the September 14 election.
But the 457 debate has sparked bitter divisions within the Gillard government ranks, with accusations the Prime Minister was "dog-whistling" to racists.
Last month, former Labor leader Simon Crean said the debate over 457 visas was a good policy with bad rhetoric.
"She's gone the class warfare," Mr Crean said.
"The 457 visa debate was a good example of the message being taken out of context - because it looked like 'we'll put Australians before foreigners'. Unequivocally, immigration has been good for this country."
Mr O'Connor sparked controversy earlier this year when he suggested the number of 457 visa rorts to be in excess of 10,000.
"I can assure you we will be looking to legislate," he said at the time.
"There will be some parts that might be reformed through regulation."
Mr O'Connor has previously pledged to allow the Fair Work Ombudsman's inspectors to check businesses were complying with the scheme's guidelines.

Once upon a time young people in England–and elsewhere were told to go to school, do your homework and the end result will be attending college and winding up with a good job. Record numbers of A-level students in England will NOT be accepted into British universities since there is not enough money to pay for teachers or construct buildings for them to learn. At least one in five young people between the ages of 16-24 lacks a job, let alone a place in college.
Nearly one million in this age bracket lack work and this number will rise once final figures are in about who got accepted to college. The problem gets worse year by year since those without work for two years has now risen to 30% of youth in this age bracket. Just 25,000 found work this spring. The problem is compounded when employers want someone with work experience, but if someone has been fired and laid off for longer than two years, employers fear hiring an individual who has grown "lazy."
If this continues, rioting may increase as frustrated youth discover being passive leads to no other destination than the unemployment line.

Development and Evaluation of a Variable-number Tandem Repeat (VNTR) Method for Subtyping of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis Isolates [abstract]. Johne's Disease Integrated Program. p. 30. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) is the causative agent of Johne's disease in cattle and other ruminants. Because of the apparent ease by which Map can spread to susceptible animals within a dairy herd, a better understanding of the epidemiology of Map infections is required. In this study, we have developed and evaluated a new method, variable-number tandem repeats (VNTR) analysis, for subtyping isolates of Map. A genomics and PCR-based screen of 124 tandem repeat loci in the Map genome identified at total of 19 VNTR loci. These loci were then used for subtyping 36 Map isolates recovered from different host species including cattle (n=9), goat (n=15), sheep (n=3), human (n=4), and bison (n=5) from Spain, India and USA. The analysis shows that the 36 Map isolates could be grouped as12 VNTR types, with overall index of discrimination (D) of 0.837. The isolates were grouped into 3 distinct clusters: cattle (C), sheep (S), and bison (B) strains. These results are consistent with assignments by IS1311 PCR-REA, and provide further evidence that the B type strains are distinct from the cattle and sheep type isolates. Importantly, each cluster could be further divided into different subcluster based on their VNTR types, suggesting a higher discriminatory power for VNTR typing than that of IS1311 PCR-REA. VNTR typing also showed good concordance with the multi-locus short sequence repeat (MLSSR), although the discriminatory power of VNTRs is slightly lower than that of MLSSR (0.873 compared to 0.929 of MLSSR). In contrast to MLSSR, VNTR based typing does not require sequence analysis, is substantially less expensive to implement, and will add considerably to the tools available for high-throughput epidemiological investigations of Map.

Sisters Village man hacked to death
-suspect drinks poison
A Sisters Village, East Bank Berbice man was hacked to death yesterday morning in his bed and his suspected assailant is in the hospital after apparently ingesting poison.
The tragic murder which has rocked the area is that of 18-year-old Devon DaSilva which is still being investigated by police. His alleged assailant Roy Lewis is currently in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the New Amsterdam Public Hospital after apparently ingesting a poisonous substance after committing the act.
Yesterday when Stabroek News visited the gloom-struck village residents were discussing and expressing their grief over the killing.
Attempts to speak to the mother of the deceased were futile since she was too traumatized.
However, Stabroek News did speak to the deceased's girlfriend's mother, Gennis Whyte, who related what took place in the wee hours of yesterday morning.
Whyte related that Da Silva and Whyte's daughter, 18 year old Ashley "Toya" Whyte, had returned from a boxing night fair which was held at the community ground. Ashley was Da Silva's girlfriend. "They came home and Devon sit down stairs here [pointing to media houses] with me and a gaff, while Ashley went and buy a food for he," said Whyte.
She said that around the same time she saw a shadow and asked 'who is it?' After she got no response, Whyte said she tried to see who it was but could not see anything. She therefore abandoned her investigation.
She said that Da Silva and his girlfriend eventually went upstairs to sleep. Later, Whyte said she noticed one of her sons, a police officer, leaving home to get back to work. She said she accompanied her son to the gate before returning to a hammock which is situated in her yard.
"I lay down in the hammock and I heard a loud stomping upstairs so I rushed up and I meet the door bolted and I kicked the door and shouted for Toya, but all I hear is she hollering. She then said mommy is Devon and Roy, which is when I called out to my husband "Percy" and tell he, "is Roy in the house."
Whyte said Percy immediately responded, and after entering the house, grabbed Roy by his hands and tossed him out of the house, causing him to fall on the fence.
"He showed us a bottle and told us that he already did what he had to do and let them see what they are going to do," said Whyte. It was suspected that the bottle he showed to the Whytes contained the poisonous substance that was eventually ingested.
Recounting the horrendous ordeal, Ashley said that she heard a shout, and that when she jumped up to investigate, she saw Roy in the room, stabbing Devon on the floor. She said at this point she tried to hold back the knife, which caused injuries to her fingers.
She said that she managed to open the door to allow her parents to come to their rescue, and that Da Silva had jumped out of the bedroom window in an effort to escape.
Whyte said they found him at the side of the house lying in a pool of blood, and he was rushed to the New Amsterdam hospital where he was pronounced Dead on Arrival (DOA).
A source explained that when he was younger, Lewis had lived with and supported Da Silva with anything he needed for school.
The source added that Lewis once attempted to give poison to Da Silva while he was working at the Berbice bauxite operations. The boy's mother had sent him away to the gold mine where he used to work, but he had returned for the holiday.
It was also said that while Da Silva and Ashley were hanging out at the Boxing Day fair, Lewis followed him around and showed him a long knife, which it is alleged, was the very knife used in the brutal stabbing.
The source said that numerous reports were made to the police stations, welfare officers and other officials who took up the matter. However the matter went cold after a while.
Media operatives were told that there is a matter between the two in the court.
A post-mortem examination will be performed shortly and police investigations are continuing. Da Silva leaves to mourn his mother, father, brother, sister, girlfriend and other relatives.

Some electrical stuff that will be going into the truck. CB, Brake controller, 350 watt inverter.
Got the B&W hitch mocked in a bit. It is originally for a 90s Ford but a little bit of fabbin' and it will be more solid than they come stock. Not sure if any of you have seen the play that some B&W 30k GN have but it is quite a bit, enough for you to look everything over.
The hitch will be mounted about a foot behind the rear axle, maybe a little more depending on the clearance needed for the camper. Shouldnt be any issue being mounted behind the axle, if it makes the truck squat more I will be thankful. The more load on this truck the better it rides. Empty it will jar your fillings hitting a pot hole.

Jan 13, 2014 - From staff reportsNational Theatre Live's 2010 broadcast of Alan Bennett's acclaimed play "The Habit of Art" will return to cinemas as part of the theater's 50th anniversary celebrations.
The Lander Library, 451 N. Second St., will screen the play at 1 p.m. Saturday. Recommended donations are $10 for adults and $5 for students.
Benjamin Britten, sailing uncomfortably close to the wind with his new opera "Death in Venice," seeks advice from his former collaborator and friend, W. H. Auden. During this imagined meeting, their first in 25 years, they are observed and interrupted by their future biographer and a young man from the local bus station.
Bennett's play is as much about the theater as it is about poetry or music.
The production looks at the unsettling desires of two difficult men and at the ethics of biography. It reflects on growing old, on creativity and inspiration, and on persisting when all of one's passions are spent.

The alarm works fine, my key has it's pellets, and it runs fine, but the light stays on. Also it is a real pain in the ass to get the key out. I have to wrench the ignition back and pull the key out while I have pressure on the two tabs, plus to start it I have to pull back on the ignition and then push forward. Is this normal behaviour for the key and could the two problems be related?

Commenting on the Facility, President and CEO, Gill Winckler said, "This is a significant milestone for Coalspur as it provides certainty of funding for the initial development capital of Vista and enables us to maintain our development timeline. Our ability to secure a significant portion of financing for Vista, at competitive terms in a difficult market, is a testament to the quality of our project. We believe we are in a unique position amongst coal development companies worldwide with our robust economics, fully committed and contracted port allocation, access to underutilised rail capacity and location in a stable jurisdiction."We continue to build our team and we look forward to finalising the remaining coal-linked financing arrangements early in 2013 and continuing to deliver on our commitments as we move forward into construction in the second quarter of 2013." The Facility, which has been approved by EIG's Investment Committee, is for a term of eight years with a cash coupon of 8% per annum and with principal capitalising at 3% per annum. Coalspur has the ability to cash-pay this additional 3% instead of having it capitalise. The Facility is subject to a number of conditions, including completion of confirmatory due diligence (regarding technical, tax and accounting, insurance and legal matters) and documentation being entered into. Documentation will include customary terms and conditions including as to fees, representations and warranties, covenants, events of default and any early repayment. EIG will be granted 100 million warrants to purchase Coalspur shares, as noted below. The grant of the warrants is subject to necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals.
- 40 million warrants with an exercise price of A$0.90 (unless the five day volume weighted average price (" VWAP") prior to the financial close date is lower, in which case the exercise price will be the VWAP). These warrants expire 36 months from financial close;
- 30 million warrants with an exercise price of 125% of the five day VWAP prior to financial close. These warrants expire 96 months from financial close; and
- 30 million warrants with an exercise price of 150% of the five day VWAP prior to financial close. These warrants expire 96 months from financial close.

Mud & Blood + The Roadhouse Cabaret
Wesley Morgan
Saturday, May 11, 2013 at 7:30 PM - Sunday, May 12, 2013 at 12:15 AM (PDT)
I received news this morning that Mud&Blood + The Roadhouse Cabaret needs to be canceled. The venue misrepresented their relationship with their landlord and neighbors, and was not in a position to host an event like this. They received a cease and desist order this morning (5/11), specificlly about this event. If we were to throw the event, the police would have come and shut it down. While that might have lent some credibility to the Speakeasy theme, I believe it would have been a poor result overall.
What Happens Now?
First thing, don't go to the space tonight. There is no event. No one will be there to greet you and tell you you stories.
Second, you will be receiving a full refund all the money you paid, tickets and fees. The process in EventBrite to refund your ticket is laborious, and once it happens it will take 5-7 days for the money to be shown in your bank account. I will be refunding all of your money today, then it will take EventBrite a few days to get it into your account. Here is more information on that process: http://help.eventbrite.com/customer/portal/articles/426148-refund-an-order
Finally, we sold over $3,000 in tickets and had many more who were going to buy at the door. The performers put tons of work and energy into this, and volunteers gathered to create a mystical underground space. This shows that people were inspired by this bill, this combination of performers. I really feel for everyone, guests, fans, friends, performers, who canceled plans to come tonight. Let me make it up to you.
Let me to find a home for this event where it can go off without a hitch. We will be searching for the right venue and book something soon. Please keep a lookout for an email about these developments.
This show was so dangerous, they didn't want you to see it.
Thank you for your patience,
Wesley Morgan
