Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand
|1914 (New Zealand Society of Civil Engineers)
|Professional body
|about 16,000

The Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ) is a not-for-profit professional body representing the engineering profession in New Zealand. It has around 16,000 members who are either engineers or have a special interest in engineering, usually practising in New Zealand.[3]
As engineering is a self-regulating profession in New Zealand, IPENZ attempts to promote the interests of the New Zealand engineering profession via support services to members. Primary IPENZ services include career development for members, the implementation of competence and ethical practice standards and community recognition of engineering.[4] Most members pay annual fees, often covered by their employer. As a member they must abide by the IPENZ Code of Ethics that aims to ensure ethical engineering practice. IPENZ also promotes public debate on engineering issues and stewards national engineering awards.[4][5]
Organisation structure[edit]
IPENZ is governed by an elected board, chaired by the president and including 11 other members. This board sets strategy and employs the chief executive, who manages the expenditure of the budget to provide services to members and to fund activities defined by its strategy. The national office is based in Wellington, and there are regional branches to which members belong. Members can also be part of a technical group or special interest group that focuses on a niche area of engineering.
The first professional engineering body in New Zealand, the Institute of Local Government Engineers of New Zealand, was formed in 1912. The following year the New Zealand Society of Civil Engineers was formed. It was thought to be more representative of the engineering profession, and the two bodies merged in 1914.
With the growth of the Society and an increasing number of non-civil engineers, a name change to The New Zealand Institution of Engineers was necessary in 1937. In 1959 the Association of Consulting Engineers New Zealand (ACENZ) was created as a consultancy division, and it became a separate entity in 1970. The name IPENZ was adopted in 1982 to reflect the importance of the 'professional' engineering ethos in the organisation.
Membership classes and registers[edit]
In the interest of the New Zealand public, IPENZ administers several competence-based membership classes and registers that act as signifiers of competence to users of engineering services.
|Qualification (or Equivalent)
|IPENZ Competence-based Membership Class
|IPENZ-administrated NZ Current-competence Register*
|IPENZ-administered International Register*
|Four-year Bachelor of Engineering (BE)
|Professional Member (MIPENZ)
|Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng)
|International Professional Engineer (IntPE)
|Three-year Bachelor of Engineering Technology (BEngTech)
|Technical Member (TIPENZ)
|Engineering Technology Practitioner (ETPract)
|International Engineering Technologist (IntET)
|Two-year Diploma of Engineering (DipEng or NZCE)
|Associate Member (AIPENZ)
|Certified Engineering Technician (CertETn)
* Current-competence registrants must be reassessed at intervals not exceeding five years to maintain registration.
Competence-based Membership Classes[edit]
IPENZ has a range of competence-based membership classes that aim to signify an engineer's level of competence. Once members of a class, individuals are not required to re-demonstrate current competence—the system relies on their ethical obligation to not practice beyond their competence.
- Professional Member (uses post-nominal MIPENZ)
Members have typically done a four-year engineering degree, and then developed their skills in mentored employment for four or five years, after which they have undergone a formal competence assessment to reach the class of Professional Member. IPENZ states that "users of engineering services can expect a Professional Member to be capable of handling most design and consultancy tasks, including regulatory sign off within their area of expertise. They should be able to synthesise innovative engineering solutions from first principles if necessary."[6]
- Fellow (uses post-nominal FIPENZ), Distinguished Fellow (Dist FIPENZ)
These membership registers include Professional Members that IPENZ recognises as having made a substantive contribution to the development of the engineering profession, its practices or IPENZ itself. IPENZ states that "Fellows therefore represent the most experienced part of the Membership; so users of engineering services can expect the same fully professional service that they obtain from Members, but with the knowledge that a Fellow is sometimes more experienced and/or knowledgeable than a Professional Member."[6]
- Honorary Fellow (Hon FIPENZ)
Honorary Fellows are often people with backgrounds outside engineering that IPENZ has recognised for worthwhile contributions that impact on professional engineering, or IPENZ itself. Honorary Fellows have not passed an assessment by their peers of engineering practice competence: they are usually respected people in the community whose activities impact on professional engineering. They are generally not engineering practitioners.
- Technical Member (TIPENZ)
A Technical Member is a person that IPENZ assesses as having met a sufficient standard of engineering practice to work independently in a narrower range of engineering situations than a Professional Member. They normally hold a three-year degree and will have developed their skills over four or five years' mentored work experience. IPENZ states that "they are experienced engineering practitioners, but normally in applying well-developed practice techniques rather than in working from first principles."[6]
- Associate Member (AIPENZ)
An Associate Member is a person that IPENZ assesses to be a competent engineering practitioner, on the basis of their strongly developed technical knowledge and practical experience. Associate Members can perform many standard engineering functions themselves, but often their work involves filling out the detail of engineering work created by Professional Members. Most Associate Members are not in practice on their own account; they are often employees and are normally not allowed to sign regulatory documents. IPENZ states that "users of engineering services can expect many basic engineering activities to be undertaken reliably by Associate Members."[6]
Current-competence Registers[edit]
IPENZ is the New Zealand Registration Authority for other engineering related registers:
Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng)[7]
Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng)is a current-competence quality mark for engineers at the professional level (engineers who usually have a four-year Bachelor of Engineering or equivalent qualification). The Chartered Professional Engineers of New Zealand Act (CPEng Act) was enacted on 1 July 2002 and established IPENZ as the Registration Authority to assess and then register Chartered Professional Engineers (CPEng). Those engineers who meet the relevant standards of competence can become CPEng certified but to retain registration must demonstrate regularly to IPENZ (five-yearly or more frequently) that they are still able to practise competently. This is considered a higher quality mark than MIPENZ as it is regularly assessed.
International Professional Engineers Register (IntPE)[8]
The New Zealand section of the International Professional Engineers Register IntPE(NZ) established under the APEC Engineer agreement (13 APEC Economies) and Engineering Technologist Mobility Forum agreement (15 countries) lists engineers meeting an international standard with slightly more specific eligibility requirements than CPEng.
Engineering Technology Practitioner (ETPract)[9]
Engineering Technology Practitioner (ETPract) is a current-competence quality mark for engineers at the technologist level (engineers who usually have a three-year Bachelor of Engineering Technology or equivalent qualification). It is set to be implemented on 1 July 2007.
International Engineering Technologist (IntET)[10]
International Engineering Technologist (IntET) is similar to the ETPract register but facilitates international mobility at the technologist level between signatories of the Sydney Accord. It was implemented by IPENZ on 1 July 2007.
Certified Engineering Technician (CertETn)[11]
Certified Engineering Technician (CertETn) is a current-competence quality mark for engineers at the technician level (engineers who usually hold a 2-year Diploma of Engineering (DipEng or NZCE) or equivalent qualification). It was implemented on 1 July 2007.
Professional Engineering Geologist (PEngGeol)[12]
The Professional Engineering Geologist (PEngGeol) Register is a current-competence quality mark for engineering geologists. A registrant will generally hold a geology degree at honours level or a postgraduate qualification in engineering geology or be able to demonstrate equivalent knowledge.
International recognition[edit]
New Zealand is a signatory to the Washington Accord, the Sydney Accord, and the Dublin Accord, which recognise (respectively) four-year, three-year and two-year engineering qualifications between signatories. IPENZ provides accreditation that allows for international mobility between signatory countries.[13]

Depot Quarter Masters Office
New Creek W Va April 15th 1864
Capt Geo W Harrison
Cumberland, Md.
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter enclosing one received by you from Capt Geo W Brown, Q. M. General of West Virginia, making inquiries in regard to some guns and ammunition shipped by him to Capt E.L. Harper, commanding a company of State Troops, and respectfully report:
What the boxes were received here sometimes in the latter part of Dec 1863, consigned to Mr John Hughes, who, I am informed, declined to receive them. After laying where unloaded from the cars for a week or ten days, they were placed in the Government warehouse by some of Capt Harpers men, on storage, and subject to the order of Capt Harper. Subsequently (perhaps a month later) I am informed by Mr William Forsyth, [?] the receiving and shipping clerk, that an order was presented to him purporting to be signed by Capt Harper, for the delivery of the ordinance [?] stores to the parties presenting the order, and that the guns and ammunition were so delivered and placed in a wagon by the parties presenting the order. Unfortunately the order has been mislaid, and cannot now be found. The stores are not now in possession of the Post
The information received by Capt Brown, as stated in his letter, that I refused to deliver them to Capt Harper , is certainly erroneous as will be seen by the accompanying statement signed by Capt Harper
Very Respectfully
Your Obt Sevt

Human Nature and the Purpose of Existence
Written by: Jeffrey Richey
Confucian scholars have long debated essential human nature without reaching agreement as to its fundamental characteristics. Most agree, however, that the purpose of existence is to reach one's highest potential as a human being. Through a rigorous process of self-cultivation that lasts a lifetime, one may eventually become a "perfected person."
The dependence of Tian upon human agents to put its will into practice helps account for Confucians' insistence on moral, political, and social activism. The relentless quest for virtue begins with the most basic human activities, such as mindful direction of one's sight, hearing, speech, and action:
Do not look at, do not listen to, do not speak of, do not do whatever is contrary to ritual propriety (Lunyu 12:1).
In the Lunyu, two types of persons are opposed to one another -- not in terms of basic potential (for, in 17:2, Kongzi says all human beings are alike at birth), but in terms of developed potential. These are the junzi (literally, "lord's son" or "gentleman," but often translated as "profound person") and the xiaoren ("small person"):
The profound person understands what is moral. The small person understands what is profitable (Lunyu 4:16).
The junzi is the person who always manifests the quality of ren (co-humanity) in his person and the displays the quality of yi (righteousness) in his actions (Lunyu 4:5). A xiaoren, then, is merely a human being who has not learned to put ren into practice; all human beings potentially may become junzi. The character for ren is composed of two graphic elements, one representing a human being and the other representing the number two. One may think of ren as meaning "how two people should treat one another." Yet, while the Lunyu talks a great deal about ren, it never uses the term renxing (human nature), which became a major concern of the Confucian tradition beginning with the work of Mengzi, whose interpretation of Kongzi's thought -- especially after the ascendancy of Zhu Xi's brand of Confucianism in the 12th century C.E. -- became the basis of Confucian orthodoxy.
Mengzi is famous for claiming that human nature (renxing) is good. For Mengzi, renxing (human nature) is congenitally disposed toward ren, but requires cultivation through li (ritual) as well as yoga-like disciplines related to one's qi (vital energy), and may be stunted (although never destroyed) through neglect or negative environmental influence. Mengzi's basic assertion is that "everyone has a heart-mind which feels for others" (Mengzi 2A6). As evidence, he makes two appeals: to experience and to reason. Appealing to experience, he says:
Supposing people see a child fall into a well -- they all have a heart-mind that is shocked and sympathetic. It is not for the sake of being on good terms with the child's parents, and it is not for the sake of winning praise for neighbors and friends, nor is it because they dislike the child's noisy cry (Mengzi 2A6).

Why should sociologists try to study society dispassionately rather than trying to reform it?
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
First of all, we should note that not all sociologists would feel this way. Some would think that they should use their knowledge to reform society. However, if we must argue that sociologists should simply study dispassionately there are two interconnected arguments that we can put forward.
First, we can argue that dispassionate study leads to better actual research. If a sociologist wishes to reform society, that sociologist is likely to approach his or her work in a biased way. A sociologist who wishes to implement certain reforms is likely to produce research that always argues for that particular reform. This degrades the quality of the sociologist's work.
Second, we can argue that the sociologist will not be trusted by research subjects or by government decision makers. For example, if a sociologist wanted to end prostitution, the prostitutes they studied might not trust them and might not answer their questions or tolerate their presence. Government officials would also lose trust. They would see the sociologist's work as advocacy, not as serious scholarship and would be less inclined to act on that work.
For these reasons, we can argue, sociologists should study society objectively and dispassionately rather than trying to reform it.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo University volleyball team is set to begin its 2014 campaign in the Alaskan frontier. The Lions will kick off their season in tournament fashion at the SpringHill Suites Invitational hosted by the University of Alaska-Anchorage, opening the brand new Alaska Airlines Center.
The Green and Gold will begin the tournament facing the host Seawolves at 1 p.m. (EST) before meeting Long Island University-Post for the second match of the doubleheader at 5 p.m.
"The competition will be challenging, LIU (Post) made it to the elite eight and won the East Region and Alaska-Anchorage played in its regional tournament. These teams are going to test us on the areas we have been working on," said Head Volleyball Coach Sam Cibrone. "We are hoping to see composure from the team and leadership from our seniors."
Cibrone's squad enters the tournament a season removed from a third-place Sunshine State Conference finish and a 23-11 season record (10-6 SSC). Entering his 11th year guiding the program, Cibrone sits at a 195-133 career record, five wins away from his 200th victory. The Lions return three starters and its libero, totaling nine letterwinners from the team that reached postseason play.
The offense is anchored by a senior core of Lauren Campbell, Tawni Warren and Alexa Griffith-Hardy. Campbell posted a team-leading 384 kills during her junior campaign and led all outside hitters with 296 digs. Fellow outside hitter Warren notched 314 kills, 254 digs, 65 total blocks and led the team with 38 service aces.
Team captain Griffith-Hardy boasted a .330 attack percentage in her first season as a Lion. The Windsor, Colo. native grounded 195 kills and amassed 38 blocks in the 2013 campaign. Outside hitter Hope Lemon will look to follow up an outstanding freshman year that saw her reach 172 kills at a torrid .310 clip.
The defense will look to a strong follow up campaign from senior captain Yaidimar Santiago as the libero set the single season dig record for the program with 549 last year.
The Seawolves finished the 2013 season with a 21-10 overall record, earning a regional bid. UAA returns outside hitter Katelynn Zanders, who led the team with 3.69 kills per set while attacking at a .237 clip. Junior Julia Mackey totaled 240 kills and 47 blocks as the right side hitter. Saint Leo met UAA in 2004 as the Seawolves defeated the Lions 3-1 in the only meeting between the squads.
LIU Post enters play as the East Coast Conference preseason favorite to capture the 2014 conference title. The Pioneers posted a 25-10 record last season and were the champions of the east regional tournament. Senior Rachel Ringor returns after a 605-dig season that also saw the libero amass a team- leading 61 service aces. The tournament represents the first meeting between the Pioneers and the Lions.

text: Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are devices that save the lives of patients at high risk of ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation.\nA tachycardia is a very fast heartbeat of more than 100 beats per minute. During tachycardia of the ventricles – the two main chambers of the heart – the heart beats too fast to pump sufficient blood to the body. This is life threatening and can lead to ventricular fibrillation. During ventricular fibrillation, the heart chambers can no longer contract. This causes cardiac arrest within minutes – the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating – and is one of the most common causes of sudden cardiac death. The only way to stop ventricular fibrillation is defibrillation. An electric shock, defibrillation disrupts the tachycardia, allowing the heart to restart its activity in a normal rhythm. People who do not have an ICD can be defibrillated externally in an emergency. ICDs offer patients at high risk of ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation the best protection against these life-threatening events. An implantable defibrillator works around the clock to automatically detect irregularities in your heartbeat and deliver the appropriate treatment. It stops life-threatening tachycardia and fibrillation with relatively weak and painless stimulation therapy or electrical shocks. Surgery is necessary to implant an ICD.

Crazy Bus Concept from China
Curbed LA calls it a "car-eating bus", but that's not exactly right, since this unique design allows cars to drive under and come out the other side. The designers say it could work on rails in the road or on wheels with a autoguidance system.
Brian Osborne at Geek.com says, "The idea for the 3D Fast Bus, as it is being called, is not that farfetched. The project promises a 20-30% reduction in traffic jams and its building cost is only 10% of what it would cost to build an equivalent subway."
Animation illustrating how it would work comes in about :45 seconds into the video:

It's 21 years since Wayne Rooney was born on 24 October, 1985, in Croxteth, Liverpool. He is one of the biggest names in football. We look back at the highs and lows of his career...
Rooney started his football career at Everton, and made his debut for the side aged just 16 on 17 August, 2002. Here he is playing for the club. Oops, yellow card!
He won the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year after playing in the Premiership for only five months!
Rooney made his international debut in 2003 and made the squad for Euro 2004, but an injury against Portugal ended his tournament early. England were knocked out
In 2006, Rooney moved from Everton to Manchester United. The transfer fee was worth around £30m!
Rooney made his United debut a few weeks later - when he had recovered from his injury. He scored a hat-trick in a Champions League win against Fenerbahce
Along with Rooney's rise to fame, his girlfriend (and later fiancee) Coleen McLoughlin has became front page news as one half of a mega-showbiz couple
It took Rooney a while to win his first trophy - finally picking up a League Cup winners medal in February 2006. He was also man-of-the-match in a 4-0 win against Wigan
In March 2006, he signed a huge book deal, starting with autobiography My Story So Far. Amazingly, he was still only 20 years old
With the World Cup in Germany approaching, England supporters were really worried when Rooney broke his foot in a match just weeks before the tournament. Ouch!
He recovered in time to play in the World Cup, but was never really fully fit and was sent off in the quarter-final against Portugal
Here's Rooney back in action for Man United. Reports say he's expecting to sign a long-term contract with the club. Now, that's a present. Happy birthday, Wayne!

PaganSquare is a community blog space where Pagans can discuss topics relevant to the life and spiritual practice of all Pagans.
Lithuanians tell of
Giltine, the death goddess
Long nose, even longer tongue
dripping deadly venom
Clad in a white sheet
Found in cemeteries
seeking coffins' contents
her poison's source
She bites, strangles, suffocates
a million ways to die
Giltine knows no obstacles
fences mean nothing
doors open themselves
She's an unseen shadow
but you will hear her whip
cracking thrice in the air
or the clatter of her bone rattle
Feel a sudden shiver
She's looked you in the face
and moved on…this time
Though a Patroness of healers
do not interfere with her will
tricking her is possible
but all measures are temporary
She will come for you
There is no escaping fate
Look where she stands
to know thy future
foot of the bed, recovery
head of the bed
say your prayers
your life is done.
With the Winter Solstice approaching, and in the cold dark months of the year, we have an excellent opportunity to reflect upon the deeper parts of our existence, those shadowy elements that seem to fade away so easily in the heat of the midday sun, those thoughts that require darkness and the teaching that it can bring. Thoughts such as life and death, darkness and light and the cyclical nature of existence are all excellent themes to meditate on at this time of year, with a natural introspective element to this season allowing us to perhaps go further, deeper than we could or would in the warmer, more outwardly focusing half of the year.
This season, with the increasing darkness and the lack of light here in the UK brings more sharply into focus thoughts of death and dying. It is often said in Western Paganism that the Sun God dies at Samhain and is reborn at Yule, when the days begin to lengthen and the light in our lives is increased. However, lately my thoughts have abandoned the concept of death, as well as birth, into a more Zen-like "No Birth, No Death" frame of mind.
Having meditated on this for a couple of months now, and seeing it reflected in nature around me, as a Druid this is how I internalise the teachings. For me, nature is the greatest teacher. I look to no other authority other than nature. It is the core of my religion, the core of my being. Having looked deeply into the nature of death and dying, of birth and living the concept of no death, no birth makes a lot more sense to me right now. Let me explain.
Scientists motivated by a deep love and fascination for the natural world share with most Pagans a recognition of the world's intrinsic value, but without our metaphysics. However they bring skills of observation and analysis many of us lack to deepen in their own way their love and fascination. This was a happy insight I had while researching the role of Pagan religion in the modern world. Biologists are important teachers who can help us deepen our own understanding....
Thank you both. If you read it I hope you like my book, Jamie. Carol, I think Pagans are unique in that we can honestly argue th
Love this post. I agree with you that there is no reason for "religion" and "science" to be at odds, at least not if each is aware
Mr. DiZerega, Great post! The book sounds fascinating. Death and life are so intertwined...
Continuing my story of my personal journey, this post is about my father's death. Here I'm going to talk about visiting dad before my junior year of college, which happened before the events of the previous post in which I became a sworn priestess of Freya, and then go forwards to dad's death at the end of my junior year. His funeral was on Father's Day, June 17, 1989.
I had a problematic relationship with my father. He abused me in many ways. His death was one of three three traumatic things that happened right after my dedication to Freya, and I think she removed him from my life so that I could eventually heal. But he was still my dad, and his death affected me in more ways than getting a toxic person out of my life. He was not only the dad who touched me sexually while telling me I was too fat to ever get a man; he was also the dad who taught me to fish. He was not only the dad who hypnotized me and tortured me in ways that he had picked up from his North Korean captors during the war; he was also the dad who taught me how to communicate with the land spirits.
Here in the UK, the weather has turned and the colder air sweeps down from the North. Nights are longer, as the sun jumps along the horizon with each rising and setting, heading further and further towards the south. Trees are changing colours, and plants are beginning to die back, the green fading into golden and tawny hues, foliage less dense and earth beginning to peek through the underbrush.
The tide of Samhain has begun, when, after the autumn equinox we prepare for the darkness to come. The balance has been tipped, and we have tipped with it, our internal clocks trying to adjust to new temperatures and light levels. Often, we try to establish our centre, attempting to find some foothold or handhold in the coming darkness, our egos crying out the great rallying cry of "I AM!" The darkness, however, knows the folly of this, and smiles as it creeps ever closer.
In the darkness there are no guidelines. There are no boundaries. There is no up or down, no left or right. There is only impenetrable night, a sweet release from the constraints of the known.

Rashad Evans weighs-in for UFC 78: Validation. Photo property of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
It's looking like the Ultimate Fighting Championship has found a replacement opponent for Chuck Liddell
The former UFC light heavyweight champion will face the heavyweight winner of the second season of "The Ultimate Fighter in Rashad Evans according to reports from Sherdog and MMA Weekly, who have both reportedly confirmed the fight.
Mauricio "Shogun" Rua was forced to pull out of his scheduled bout against Liddell after rupturing an ACL in his left knee during a recent training session. Rua will apparently also require surgery and will be out of action for an indefinite amount of time according to the UFC. The fight was due to be Rua's first since he was submitted by Forrest Griffin in his UFC debut in September.
Evans was originally scheduled to be fighting Thiago Silva in May from all of the information that was gathered over the past few months. The one-time standout college wrestler has not lost yet inside the confines of his UFC. Evans has been victorious in all of his bouts with the exception of a draw against Tito Ortiz last summer.
Liddell snapped a two-fight losing streak at UFC 79 in December where he won a unanimous decision over long-time rival Wanderlei Silva. A win over Evans will have Liddell move one step closer to a rematch against current champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, who has defeated Liddell twice in the past.

When people flee the corporate world, it is often because their bosses expect them to work as if their families have no claim on their time and attention. But Jane Wright and Lauren Barelthought they had that sorted. The two lawyers had broken new ground as job-sharing senior associates, working three days a week each at a big law firm Herbert Smith Freehills.
For five years, and with five children between them, they were the "poster girls" for workplace flexibility. That is, until they decided to go for promotion.
Wright and Barel, with ambitions to become the firm's first job-sharing partners, were told they could only apply for promotion separately and they must compete against each other for it.
"It changed my whole idea," says Wright.
That was the push they needed to use their expertise in workplace law to start up their own firm – Workdynamic Australia.
With the addition of Wright's brother, Jonathan Wright, who left Minter Ellison so he could spend more time with his young family, the workplace investigations firm has experienced rapid growth since launching in April last year.
Forty clients on books
Already they have about 40 clients, have hired four extra lawyers and are close to $2 million in revenue for the year.
"We are all top-tier refugees," Wright says.
Before they resigned, the women had identified a gap in the workplace investigations field. As lawyers, they had been struggling to find people who could investigate such issues as bullying and harassment and provide reports that could withstand legal scrutiny.
When they let their interest in the area be known, one of their main clients, the University of Sydney, was keen to be the new business's keystone customer.
"They were prepared to hire us the next day," Wright says. That gave the lawyers the security of knowing they would have an income.
The university originally wanted the pair to work full time, but the women pushed back to work two days each on the account. The founders were determined to be their own bosses. "We didn't want to be employed by someone," Wright says.
The team invested about $7000 in set-up costs, with everyone working from home, There was access to a "virtual" office in Sydney's CBD – Clarence Professional Offices in York Street. There is nothing new in the legal work performed by the founders, but the investigation side fascinates Wright .
"I like the people-side of the law. Every investigation has facts you wouldn't believe. We untangle all the stories and set out what people believe is the truth," she says.
Wright says that interactions with people under investigation can be stressful, emotional and sometimes threatening.
Hiring staff was easy
"You know when to step in and when to distance yourself . . . You develop a skill-set over time."As employment lawyers, hiring people was a cinch.
Other than their latest recruit, all were people they already knew who approached them looking for a better work-life balance.
"Some came from word-of-mouth, some came out of the blue and said: 'I would like to work for you'."
The last hire was the result of a SEEK recruitment campaign: "We now have a checklist for hiring new employees".
One thing the founders were determined to do was to build flexibility into the structure of the firm. After all, there was no point in escaping a corporate trap if they recreated the same restrictions in their own firm.
Barel works four days a week, Wright does three and her brother Jonathan works full time. He is able to work from home and manage his hours better than in a corporate job. Of the employees – all lawyers – only one works full time and the rest are part time.
"By having a structure that is different from the standard law firm, from offering people true flexibility, which is what we do when we give people the ability to work from home, we get a really high calibre of applicant," Wright says.
Office attendance not required
"We don't require employees to work within any sort of hours, we don't require them to turn up to an office at all, we just give them work and a deadline and we pay them for the work that they do.
"So they can work at two in the morning if they want to and they can do it wherever, whenever they want to do it. We have had a lot of feedback that it has been extremely positive from their perspective, especially if they have young children."
Wright says employees get a premium payment, above their hourly rate, if it is of a quality that can be billed to a client.
"So, it is as if we have created little entrepreneurs of our employees."
The employees are being paid about the same or more than they would have been in their corporate jobs – and they are being paid for every hour of work they do. In a law firm, there are large slabs of work that is unpaid because it is not "billable".
The employees at Workdynamic have to be efficient in allocating their time, or their remuneration suffers.
What they do lose, however, is a feeling of security: "In a traditional employment relationship, all the risk is with the employer. The only risk is that you will be fired.
"Risk and benefit lie on both sides of equation," she says.
But Wright says the founders are careful not to hire someone unless they are confident they can be kept busy.
Guide to going it alone
DO YOUR RESEARCH: before they made the move, the women studied potential competitors to discover what sort of structures were in place and how much money they were making.
SAVE ON OFFICE COSTS: working from home greatly reduces business operating costs. But Workdynamic employees have a "virtual office" for meetings and can use the company's hot-desking facilities.
TAKE CONTROL: you don't have to accept an employer's roadblocks to your career. "We don't need someone to make us partners. We can make ourselves partners".
FIND A KEYSTONE CUSTOMER: this gave the founders the confidence they needed to make the leap into their own business. "It allowed us to grow the business without the stress of finances."
STAY FRIENDS: the founders try to practise open communication with each other to make sure the pressure of running a business doesn't harm their relationship.

Oh, these socks! They make my heart swoon. And the best part? They cost next to nothing. When I was shopping the other day I found a pair that were going for $8. I loved them, but that's not going to happen. These beauties might have cost me 75 cents, maybe.
For this project you'll need:
one pair of socks
2 pieces of lace measuring 11" each
straight pins
sewing machine (or needle and thread)
First you're going to turn your lace strips into lace circles. Sew right sides together. This is how they should look in the end.
Next turn your sock inside out. Place the straight edge of the lace even with the top edge of the sock. (Do a better job than I did in this photo though, your sock will thank you for that)
Pin your lace in place (rhyme!). Make sure you're stretching the sock opening as far as you can while you do this. This will prevent bunching and ensure that you can get the sock over your foot.
Time to sew! Make sure you stretch the sock opening while you sew. All for the same reasons listed above.
Tie of your threads and you've got some super pretty, lacey socks for spring. Swoon!
Now I'm on the hunt for a pretty floral sock so I can give it the same treatment (thanks for the idea Jenna!)

Hey, y'all! New owner 98 M Roadster
Just bought a 1998 M Roadster (S52/not sure of body number 36/7?). 147k miles, good shape though. Cosmos Black, new Imola red top; red/black leather interior I was told is pretty rare. I put 150 miles on it last night, finally didn't kill it in first! Clutch is right there. What a blast! Scares me what the Euro version would be like, with 75+ more horses! Anybody drop the S50 into a Yankee body?
I've had several older Benzes in the last 45 years, and a now 99 BMW K1200LT bike, but this thing is more like the cycle than the Benzes! Don't blink, you'll miss 85mph go by.
Saw some scary posts on other site @ welds breaking in the rear of Z3s, causing diff to fall and fail! Anybody know how widespread this is? I'm having mine checked today.
Also, some problems/questions: New ragtop doesn't fold down or up with electric power, works fine by hand. The PO told me there is a flaky wire maybe in the interlock in the windshield catch, causing intermittent working. Anybody got a suggestion?
PO put a new clutch and lightweight flywheel in six months ago. I have rattles under the body in Neutral, clutch out. Sounds like exhaust system maybe.
Driver's elec window has a clunk about a third of the way up. Common? I'll probably just have my shop pull the door panel and check. Both windows seem a bit slow to move and stiff like they're binding a little.
Oh, and the heater/AC temp control doesn't change anything. Just gave a solid clunk when I turned it first time, and now doesn't make any difference, like it's just rotating without anything connected behind. Anyone have experience with getting inside the dash!!??...Never had fun with that!
In spite of those little annoyances, the car drives like a thrill ride on rails! Mein Gott! Pass auf, Welt!!
Hoping someone in the Hilton Head Island/Savannah general area will get in touch. Or maybe from the SC mountains...?
Best, Dutch
Welcome aboard !
Roadies are hot stuff, congrats on yours.
You might want to check in at the E36 Forum, lots of DIY-savvy members there who might be able to help you with this.
The road goes ever onward....

I mentioned on Monday that ESPN the Magazine's 15th anniversary double issue, which hits newsstands on Friday, includes a 5,000-word piece on Robert Griffin III by Pulitzer Prize winner J.R. Moehringer. I also mentioned that the special issue has four different national covers, one featuring Bryce Harper and another featuring RGIII. Well, here is that second cover.
The RGIII story and an accompanying video are scheduled to be available online early next week. And as I mentioned, I asked the Mag's editor-in-chief, Chad Millman, why they went back to the RGIII well so quickly, after also writing about him in their D.C. issue.
"He's going to be one of those guys you are going to want to know what he does, no matter what he's doing," Millman said. "If, God forbid, he ends up being out of football in five years, he's still going to do something special, and that's what we tried to capture. Here's a guy who's going to transcend the world of sports; it's really a launching pad for anything else he's going to do. And in the meantime, let's enjoy him, because he's as dynamic and thoughtful and interesting an athlete as we've had in a long time."
Also, here again is the Bryce Harper cover.

Game Of Thrones is a TV sensation, taking over the internet every time a new series arrives. With three seasons in the bag and another just two weeks into its run, it's time to enjoy a deep dive into YouTube and see what videos are worthy of a throne in Wild, Wild Westeros. So, following in Breaking Bad's footsteps, here are our favourite Throne tributes and mash-ups in one handy list. Needless to say, if you're not up to date with the TV show, you may want to click away now.
Game Of Thrones is famous for two things: boobs and murder. We're not the sort of website that would bring you a supercut of boobs (sorry) but here's a collection of every on-screen death in the first three seasons and episode one of season four. While even the makers couldn't fix the exact number, their estimate puts it north of 5,000. Gosh.
King's Landing isn't real, Winterfell isn't real, even The Eyrie isn't real. As well as being – whisper it – fictional, the locations are made of CGI smoke and mirrors. What set there is typically serves as a base upon which the VFX priests and priestesses build their work on later, with green screen used most days, especially for wide shots of outdoor locations. So with that in mind, enjoy your dreams being turned to ash as digital wizardry house Pixomondo pulls back the red curtain.
Because so many of Game Of Thrones' names, places and abstract concepts are made up by George R.R. Martin, the show's unusual verbiage makes for an excellent Bad Lip Reading video. Sure, some gags are just genius on their own merits – resist the urge to say "Face lick!" next time you kiss someone on the cheek – but "Kind sir, I am the evil studmuffin" could only exist because of the medi-evil villainy GRRM has brought to this world. For a bonus Bad Lip Reading scene featuring the fabled "imp slap", click this way.
As anyone who's seen his lengthy Breaking Bad skit can tell you, when Jimmy Fallon likes a TV series, he isn't afraid to let it show. Here, he imagines the Late Night offices as a medieval kill-or-be-killed Machiavellian mosh pit where he strolls around like Ned Stark while his perennial assistant, Steve Higgins, plays a Varys-alike eunuch with a pair of testicles hanging around his neck in a small bag. Remember while you watch this that it was made as a digital only short. Good luck matching those production values, Grumpy Cat…
Add some cheesy music, play with some VHS-imitating distortion effects, pause at appropriate moments and overlay the characters' names on the screen… making a "If [Insert Name Of TV Show] Was Made In 1995" video isn't the hardest thing in the world, but it is funny. For a similar gag, check out Game Of Thrones – The Seinfeld Chronicles.
The gag: the Game Of Thrones theme music, sung using the word "Hodor" and the word "Hodor" alone. The gag on top of the gag: "If this video hits 1 million hits, I will post the lyrics." If you can think of a better YouTube intro gag, please do let us know. See also, The Game Of Thrones Theme (Fuckin' Edition), where the theme is sung using the words "Fuckin' Game Of Thrones", and this Peter Dinklage version, where the lyrics consist of the words "Peter" and "Dinklage".
The show's appallingly catchy opener has sparked quite a few covers versions on all sorts of instruments and in myriad styles. Those ubiquitous Harp Twins aside, this is arguably the best string version of Iranian-German composer Ramin Djawadi's much-loved theme, but there are some other versions worth checking out. Wonderful in a different way, this smooth jazz take doesn't count, as it's lead by a saxophonist and is, quite frankly, distractingly sexy. Less distractingly sexy is the voice and violin cover, where the vocals are somehow really scary. Full marks for effort though.
On Twitter, you either hashtag your Game Of Thrones tweet #GameOfThrones or, if you're into the whole brevity thing, #GoT, or you don't hashtag it at all, because you've sworn off them since #Hashtag. But #GoT is just one letter away from #GoaT, which undoubtedly inspired the #Goats that are "singing" in this utterly bonkers mash-up. We're not sure they've thought it through though: there's at least one sheep in there.
Some covers of much-loved nerdy songs are par for the course – that guy who does the heavy metal interpretations of the Mario Kart music and others will never, ever stop – but this is something completely different. Harnessing the musical power of floppy disc drives, YouTuber MrSolidSnake745 has revealed that accessing of an out of date memory storage device can be art, cementing the point with his own unique variations of the Final Fantasy VII, Ghostbusters and James Bond themes.
Fan reactions are one thing, but this goes one step further. It's with impish glee that George R.R. Martin watches videos of TV-show-only Game Of Thrones fans freak out at The Red Wedding. Well of course he's gleeful: he clearly takes sadistic delight in bringing misery to others. Just look at his characters! It's with understanding and perverse pleasure that we do the same.
God bless Screen Junkies and all who work for her. When they're not compiling excellent supercuts, they're picking apart pop culture in a loving yet damning fashion. Here, they successfully deal with any spoiler avoiders by calling them out for being wimps. Brave words, Screen Junkies, brave words.
How It Should Have Ended videos normally feature Batman and Superman at a diner, arguing like children. Here, they forgo all that caped carry on and stick to answering the question "How should Season One of Game Of Thrones have ended?" When you think about it, it really should have gone this way (and George R.R. Martin would probably approved to boot).
It's hard to explain a video as strange as this one. So before you click play – if you dare – know that it contains "The Starks" singing/rapping the words "We are the north siders" and a woman who looks almost nothing like Daenerys Targaryen saying "I've got dragons, bitch.��� A curio to go alongside the Gotye mickey take 'A Character That I Used To Know' and 'School Of Thrones – Episode 1: Prom Night Is Coming'.
There are a lot of skits, theme tune interpretations and, um, goats on this list, but it's not all silliness. This 30-minute question and answer session with Jack Gleeson, who brilliantly plays the utterly awful Joffrey, provides a bit more substance. Revel in the behind-the-scenes details! Bathe in Gleeson's luxuriant Irish accent! Bemoan the sound quality! This really does have it all.

Yesterday we talked about whether black people could be racist. As always, there were inconclusive findings. 🙁
Anyway I wanted to ask you guys a question…
We have a lot of organizations that cater to black culture like NSBE (National Black Society of Engineers), Black Greek Organizations, ETC. ETC…. I know at one time in society, we needed these organizations because everything else excluded us. But are they still valid? Do we just self-segregate at this point? And if so, why?
But I'm getting off track here. Those weren't my original questions. My question is if white people had an organization that catered to whites only, like the White Society of Engineers, do they have a right to? I'm sure most people would look at that name and think, "OMG! That sounds like the engineering arm of the Ku Klux Klan!!!" But I mean seriously, if there was a group of white kids that said, "Hey there is an engineering association out there for every other race. Why can't we have one", would they be wrong? I'm not saying it's an association that is truly whites only, but it caters to white culture… just like Black Greek organizations cater to black culture, but are no longer exclusively black. Sidenote: How crazy is it crazy to see a white guy outstep his bruhs?
There would be many arguments about it here. I could see both sides. One could say that any organization that doesn't exclusive cater to a race is by default a white organization. But is that true or is it what I asked early? Do we self-segregate? Do we not go to those country clubs because they said no blacks allowed at one time and we lived with that limitation? What say you my fellow nerds?

Friends. I have things I want to tell you about. Big things. So major that I've been staring at these photos for over a week, unable to find common ground between all the news I want to share and this unexciting (albeit delicious) bowl of curry. And that's why half my news will have to wait. Until I make a cake. One that may involve booze and pink frosting.
The other half, I'll share now.
I quit my job. Not just a job. THE job. The job I landed right out of college. The job I pretty much learned to do on the fly (we all lie on our résumés, riiight?), then strove to succeed at with the tenacity of a bright-eyed, obsessive, twentysomething perfectionist. The job that, up until last Friday at 5:00pm, I'd held for 9 years, 2 months, and 24 days. Wow.
To explain all the reasons for my departure would take far too long (and one of them must remain secret until I make my fancy cake!). But back in October of 2012, while out enjoying a drink with my then-boyfriend and chatting about life and goals and all that other talk that goes well with beer, I declared that I would not spend 10 years at my job. Maybe I was tired of listening to myself complain about work and not doing anything about it. Maybe it was turning 30 that did it. (30 hit me hard, you guys. I never thought it would, so the surprise made it extra tough. 31 has been infinitely better. [My friend Z hypothesized that it's Saturn's return. Hurray Saturn!]) Regardless, by the end of that beer, I'd set a goal for myself, and that goal was to give notice at my job by the end of next year. And holy cow, guys, I actually freaking did it. BAM.
So yeah, my life is all sorts of topsy-turvy at the moment, but in a good, exciting way. I honestly can't wait to adjust to my new normal, and to actually once again have time to read and comment on blog posts, and respond to emails (omg so many emails — if you've emailed me over the course of the past few months and I haven't written back, I am SO sorry).
With all the craziness (and wintery-ness!) of the past few months, I find myself craving warm, hearty bowls of veggies and healthy stuff 24/7. (Also: cookies and brownies, 'cause we Libras need balance, ya know? In the past 48 hours, I made these and these. YUM CITY.) So it's no surprise that last Wednesday, while at the height of OMFG-last-week-on-the-job panic/elation, I decided to make a giant batch of this curry.
I make curries the way a lot of people make chili. If it doesn't require the biggest container I've got and can't feed me for several days, I feel like I've failed. This kabocha curry has been a favorite of mine this winter, and I've made it countless times so far with whatever I happen to have in the pantry/fridge. I kept this batch simple with baby spinach and chickpeas, and served it all over farro, which contributes a great texture and a yummy, slightly hearty flavor. The whole thing comes together quite easily, and makes for some wonderful winter comfort food.
Kabocha Curry with Spinach, Chickpeas, & Farro
(adapted from Pinch of Yum)
5 cups of peeled and cubed kabocha squash
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 tbsp butter
1 3/4 cups vegetable broth
2 tbsp red curry paste
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp salt
1 cup coconut milk
5 cups baby spinach
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cups of cooked chickpeas
1 cup of farro
2 cups of water
Heat butter in a large skillet and saute onion until translucent. Add squash and vegetable stock, cover, and let simmer for 10–15 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Transfer to a blender, add the curry paste, tomato paste, curry powder, turmeric, salt, and coconut milk and puree until smooth.
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add farro and cover. Reduce heat and let simmer until all the water has been absorbed.
While the farro is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the garlic and saute until aromatic, then add the spinach and chickpeas. Cover for a minute to let the spinach steam slightly, then remove the cover and saute until the spinach has wilted.
Top farro with curry and the spinach and chickpeas. (Or mix it all up in a big container, store it in the fridge, and enjoy for several days.)

Modern humans found to be fittest ever at survival, by far
Modern humans have gotten incomparably good at survival, doing more to extend our lives over the last century than our forebears did in the previous 6.6 million years since we parted evolutionary ways with chimpanzees, according to a new study.
In fact, humans in societies with plentiful food and advanced medicine have surpassed other species used in life-extending medical research in stretching our longevity and reducing our odds of dying at every point along our ever-lengthening life spans, the study finds.
The research, published online Monday by the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, touches upon the hotly debated question of whether an upper limit to longevity is inscribed in our genes. It makes clear that life extension begins at birth, with a child born in the last four generations standing a better chance of being alive during infancy, adolescence, the reproductive years and after than in any of the 8,000 human generations that came before.
The study authors, from Germany's Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, began by comparing people who have lived or now live in primitive hunter-gatherer societies around the globe in which life spans have been well documented with citizens of industrialized countries in Europe and Asia. A typical Swede, for instance, is more than 100 times more likely to survive to the age 15 than a typical hunter-gatherer. And a hunter-gatherer who has reached the ripe old age of 30 is about as likely to die in the following year as the world's champion of longevity a 72-year-old woman in Japan.

3. Well, babble, scientifically speaking, for sure.
But I see it as a non-sequitur. Everybody paying attention knows we live a lot longer, but to infer from that that we are "better at survival" or "fitness" is a non-sequitur, it means nothing of the sort.

4. Very interesting, thanks.
Just one small quibble: we didn't actually branch off from chimps(did they even exist 6 million years ago?). That is the ONLY thing wrong with this article.

5. Wiki says:
7 Ma Sahelanthropus tchadensis
Hominina speciate from the ancestors of the chimpanzees. The latest common ancestor lived around the time of Sahelanthropus tchadensis, ca. 7 Ma [4]; S. tchadensis is sometimes claimed to be the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees, but this is disputed. The earliest known human ancestor post-dating the separation of the human and the chimpanzee lines is Orrorin tugenensis (Millennium Man, Kenya; ca. 6 Ma). Both chimpanzees and humans have a larynx that repositions during the first two years of life to a spot between the pharynx and the lungs, indicating that the common ancestors have this feature, a precursor of speech.
So maybe they were not chimps yet, but they had left us behind. Anyway, it explains the number.

6. I understand what they're saying but we did it mainly by changing our environment, not by being more
fit to survive. Take off your clothes and stay outside tonight and see how fit you are in the morning.
