Human Rights in Moldova
In recent years there has been some positive developments regarding the human rights situation in Moldova. New legislation and policies have strengthened protection against discrimination and facilitated the promotion of freedom of expression. However, significant human rights issues still persist; lack of fair trials, inadequate conditions in prisons, hate speech, violence against women, people trafficking, the marginalisation of the Roma community and harassment of LGBT people. In the breakaway territory of Transnistria, human rights abuses are grave.

London's Mark Henning has risen up as one of the underground's true players - recording for a volley of acclaimed international labels. Since quitting his city day job in 2007 he's been nominated for a DJ Mag award, toured all over the world, released an album on legendary UK institution Soma Recordings and released countless well-received and heavily supported EPs and remixes. Mark's sound sits somewhere between house and techno, with a healthy dose of darkness, swing and funk. He has established his artist career not just through his productions – on well-regarded labels such as Soma, Cityfox, Watergate, Clink, Cynosure, Trapez and Freude am Tanzen - but also through his worldwide performances, having performed at clubs such as Fabric, Panorama Bar, Watergate, Rex Club, SPACE, Privilege, Bar 25, The Arches, Lux and Harry Klein, as well as festivals such as T In The Park, Rockness, Fusion, Portugal's BOOM, Vienna's PraterUnser and Chocolate Festival Lausanne. Mark also plays regularly for Zurich favorite Cityfox...
A live-act project formed by Swiss producers Laps (Laurent Bovey) and Gregorythme (Gregory Poncet), the two have worked together in Lausanne and Berlin since 2001 to produce music full of atmospheric detail, sometimes a little abstract and sometimes more narrative, but always made for the club. Distinct grooves and unforgettable melodies are Digitaline's forté, with releases on Cityfox, Cadenza, Get Physical and Raoul. Those who follow these French musical maestros know by now to always expect the unexpected.
Adrian & Adrian are two guys from Zurich who started off on a traditional route into music just like everyone else, trying out several instruments and learning to scratch on their grandfather's turntables. 90's dance, hip-hop & house stuff influenced one of them while the other explored melodic sounds and Europe based techno. In 2008, they met on the road and forged their formidable partnership. They love to mix up different styles to make their sets intensive, diversified and unique: almost poetic, comparable with an exciting story.
Markus was infected with a bass beat while in the cradle, owing much to his father being a professor of percussion instruments at the conservatory in Feldkirch. He originally honed his craft as a hip-hop DJ, growing in popularity and with his mixtapes in high demand. But then he discovered electronica, parlaying his existing sensibilities while focusing on deep, floating, psychedelic and just plain sexy music. A rising star on the Cityfox roster, he flawlessly showcases the Zurich sound.
Dejan is an integral part of the Swiss nightlife movement, regularly feeding hungry club cats and party tigers with the latest tunes as the international disco fox, regularly headlining for Zurich's biggest clubs. As a resident Cityfox DJ, he's been in constant touch with and plays alongside an endless cycle of underground's finest headliners from around the world. But Dejan is not only a dance floor master in Switzerland, his reputation has spread, and he regularly wows audiences with his infectious beats the world over, and now, once again, in NYC.
MC&Hammer (Michael Christopher and Alex Hamadey) met mistakenly in the spring of 2010 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and now work out of a studio in Bushwick, Brooklyn called 'FuckYouYankeeBlueJeans'. By featuring modular racks, analogue drum machines and synthesizers/instruments, MC&Hammer look to combine unconventional recording practices with rare outboard gear, taking basic techno melodies and using percussion from nostalgic drum machines to create an original and composed sound of their own.
Veteran Naveen G, who has produced tracks for Satoshi Tomiie and featured on Sasha & Digweed's seminal tours, employs incredible range to always hit the perfect note, laying down set after flawlessly crafted set, whether it be house, tech-house, progressive or techno. Naveen hosts the longest running show on Proton Radio and is a regular on the world stage, from Europe to South America, and on the North American festival circuit, having most recently opened the CircoLoco event at 2012's Movement Festival in Detroit and listed's Cityfox showcase at BPM in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, which GenXGlow pegged as the best daytime set of the entire festival.
Visuals virtuoso by day, he directs the decks by night. Fresh off creating the marketing and directing the new music video for the All Day I Dream label, Hoj will demonstrate that he is a master of all media. His eclectic and distinct blend of house and techno earned him a night alongside Cassy at Berlin's legendary Panorama Bar and some of the world's greatest, including Jon Digweed, Carl Cox, Steve Lawler and many more. He's crafted his musical journeys across Europe, the South Pacific, South, Central & North America, recently opening for All Day I Dream in Mexico and Montreal, and on the Robot Heart Bot in Black Rock City.
Captain of the Varsity Allstars, Mike Khoury is a regular of the NYC and Chicago underground, having played for BlkMarket, Resolute, Time to Get ILL, Verboten, alias, Vision, and Spybar, among others. His smooth mixing and impeccable track selection has taken him from the Black Sea coast of Romania to a residency with the Lost Souls at London's infamous Public Life. A seasoned and hand selected opener for Lee Burridge, he's toured Australia, opened the All Day I Dream events in Mexico and Miami, and perfectly prepared the masses assembled for Lee's legendary dawn sets on the Robot Heart Bot.
Dory rocks the dance floor, no matter the continent: from Pacha in London, to the South Pacific; from BPM in Mexico, to listed's Freaky Tikki in Miami; from the super-clubs of Zurich, to the Robot Heart Bot cruising the dusts of Burning Man. Recognized by Desyn Masielo as having mixed one of the "best sets he has ever heard," Dory was selected as a member of his Faciendo collective, her sets broadcast on 24 FM and online stations the world over. Her intelligent blend of groovy house, techno and minimal wins the feet of her fans and commands the respect of fellow artists.
Mark Slee is a resident DJ and co-founder of House-Heads, a San Francisco collective throwing unique underground and private events focused on forward-thinking dance music. He is also one half of Manju Masi, a collaboration with long-time partner in crime Atish. Living in San Francisco since 2005, Mark has evolved a style of DJing that uniquely reflects his personality. Technical and introspective, he brings a thoughtful approach to constructing sets that tickle both mind and soul, at the same time topping things off with a healthy dose of groovy, quirky fun.

Last Letter
Well Eckron has three weeks left and, I mailed him a letter today and my mom said that it is my last letter. She said that I need to stop sending them because, they won't catch up with him. And I told her that I want to keep writing until he tells me to stop. And then she yells that Iam getting on her nerves with all of this. I'm more ready for it to be over then she is! UGH parents, but she could be right?
Wow I'm so grateful I'm old enough to take care of myself and not have to worry about parents. But anyways, Sunday I got my first phone call from Scott..6 weeks in and it was the best ever. But during the phone call, he said to keep writing because I've written every day since he left. He said some kid who's girlfriend of 10 months suddenly stopped writing and he hadn't gotten anything in 2 weeks so they kid was miserable. They really look forward to those letters. And pictures! He said they all get pictures so keep sending them. Scott's TI won't let them write, and this week their in BEAST week so they can't write anyways and then they are back for a week and a half and done so really theres not much point.

It's disappointing that I've only got to talk to him once and gotten no letters to which I will probably not get at all. But bottom line is, he told me he really likes getting them everyday. They have no communication to the outside world and if they are having a bad day, you are it my friend. So I'm very grateful for the one phone call I did get and he's very grateful that I've stuck by his side from day one. SO...keep writing.

Your mother needs to relax a little because you are not hurting anyone. If you're using her stamps go out and buy your own. That's what I did because those suckers are expensive and I felt bad I was using my moms lol. And as for her saying they won't catch up with him. I've probably sent over 40 letters and he's gotten to read every single one of them. They don't get mail on weekends so Scott gets a few on top of eachother I'm sure, and I'm not the only one writing, his mother does too so he gets double the amount. But they really want them so they read them! GOOD LUCK!
Don't stop sending them! I just stopped sending my Airman letters on Friday, and I am leaving to see him tomorrow!
im glad you decided to keep writing. my mom got mad at me when i kept asking to borrow stamps everyday. she said writing him once a week should be good enough (military brat but never in a military relationship) so naturally she didnt understand jack. so i kept persisting until she bought me like a book of 60stamps=) when he was finally able to write back i think it clicked how much that man means to me. parents take some times. they see how close you are as a couple but they dont ever really get why.
hey girl.

My boyfriend is in the 3rd week also. I dont think they will be able to write anymore but they are still getting your letters. I think you should send them. I know dealing with your mom is hard im still in high school and leave at home so i understand that. But you should have a talk with her and let her know its not only for him its for you too. Tell her writing him lets you get things out and makes you feel better. i dont know any mom that would be mad about that.

What flight is your boy friend in?
Luckily I've been out on my own since I was 17 so I didn't have to deal with that. But that's ridiculous. You need to send those letters up until the very few days before he graduates. That's what I did, and Brent got his the day before the coin ceremony. I know it sucks to have your mom be that way but maybe if you stay persistent about it she'lll come around. Good luck!!!
i would still send them... hahah take them to the post office yourself haha ur guy will love all your letters :] and they get them in like 4 days they just cant always write back... hang in there girl and dont fight with your mom about it.. it takes parents a while to adjust to their lil girls in military relationships.. it took my parents a while to be comfortable with it.. lol but good luck and keep writing if you can
he probably won't be able to write you back but i didn't stop sending letters until 3 days before i left :) he got the last one the morning after i got to his graduation and when i talked to him that day he said he had read it before he went out to the parade & it made him even more anxious to see me!

i kept up with the letters even though i probably wouldn't get any back because he kept saying how much he loved getting them & hearing about everything i was doing. i just couldn't stand the thought of him sitting there while everyone else's name gets called for a letter & not have his be called :(

when i went to his graduation all of the buddies in his flight knew who i was because of all of my letters, pictures & football scores i would send :)

my advice would be keep sending them!!! even if they don't say much but "i miss you & love you" they love getting them!
it doesnt take that long to get to him im pretty sure!

i know you wish she could understand,

well id say keep writing him just in case!

i know over and then easier!

What's the Problem?
Simply stated, the issues of senior hunger and undernutrition are generally overlooked in America. And that's a problem – a growing one.
In 2005 nearly 1 in 9 — or 5 million older citizens — were threatened by hunger then. By 2014 those ranks had increased to an intolerable 15.8 percent, or more than 10.2 million people.
So we say again: That's a problem – a worsening national one that manifests itself in cities, suburbs and rural areas …in other words, right in the middle of every community where people live.
What Are the Consequences?
Research proves that serious negative health consequences go hand-in-hand with senior hunger and undernutrition. That undermines the quality of life for millions of older people – and it costs the Nation hundreds of billions of dollars in additional health care costs each year.
NFESH (pronounced neh-fesh) is a Hebrew word that means soul or life force, or the obligation to save a life in jeopardy. We take the obligation seriously.

TIJUANA - Following a huge presentation for the new jersey, Club Tijuana Xoloitzcuintles prepare to open up the season at home with a spectacular encounter with last season's finalist Club America.
The match is scheduled for Friday January 10 at 7:30pm local time from the Estadio Caliente in Tijuana.
This will be the first presentation of new manager Cesar Farias in front of the home crowd, it will also be the first return of Antonio "El Turco" Mohamed to Tijuana where he tasted his first Mexican league title. As well as a deep run in the Copa Libertadores.
Tijuana Xolos made their season debut last week in Guadalajara against Atlas in a match that ended in a 0-0 draw. Tijuana were not able to count on their lethal Argentine striker Dario Benedetto for that game due to suspension, and won't have him for this match against America either.
Following the huge defeat in the two-legged final against Leon, Club America kicked off their season and the "Turco" Mohamed era with a big 3-0 win at home against Tigres, Mohamed has come into the Mexico City side looking to continue what Miguel "Piojo" Herrera had built there in the past two years before leaving to the Mexican National Team. Mohamed has not changed much, and the America team that played week 1 against Tigres looked and played like an exact replica of Herrera's team.
The two sides met just two weeks ago in the only meaningful preseason friendly match for both sides. It was Club America who had been able to jump to a 3-0 lead, but the Tijuana Xolos fought back to end the match in a 3-3 draw in the StubHub Center in Los Angeles, CA.
Last time America visited the Estadio Caliente the walked away with a shocking 2-1 win after center referee had shown two red cards to the visiting America side before the halftime whistle.

Hey, Eddy, we'd be happy to have you join us over in the Jiggly Joggers group. We're all trying to drop weight and get off on the right foot for the new year.
From this moment on I was dying for the rest of the race. Anyhow I managed to finish in 50:20, which was what i was aiming for.By the way ,my brother did it in 35:06. Now that I am in the new year, I really want ot work on this and get it down to a decent time. Also is it realistic to assume that i can shave mimutes of this time over the coming year. Take in consideration I am currently dieting, lost 3 stone up to now, got another 2 to go, and only been training for 4 moinths. I need a strcit regime to stick to, any help would really be appreciated. F/b guys appreciated.

JN, did you race downtown this morning?
Nope. Thought about it, but I'm temporarily sidelined from anything fast (or fastish, in my case).
Did you?

If the state doesn't condone the taking of human life, then why does it send men and women off to war?
That issue was raised by British Columbia Supreme Court Judge Lynn Smith on Thursday as she prompted Department of Justice lawyer Donnaree Nygard to flesh out her argument that the government regards life as so sacrosanct that euthanasia or physician-assisted suicides can never be justified.
"Where the state draws the line is that we will not condone the taking of life," Ms. Nygard said as she laid out the government's opposition to a constitutional challenge to a Criminal Code sanction that makes physician-assisted suicide illegal in Canada.
"But [the state]sends young men off to war, and young women," said Judge Smith, who is hearing a case brought by the B.C. Civil Liberties Association and a group of people who want physician-assisted suicide legalized.
Ms. Nygard said war is "a separate and different issue" that isn't relevant to the case, and she added: "The exceptional nature of war is such that criminal law doesn't apply. … There is a completely different set of rules."
She said that, at any rate, there is a difference between the state "condoning" or approving the taking of life, which it would have to do if it changed the law, and "excusing" the taking of life, such as it does when a person kills someone in self-defence.
Ms. Nygard argued that euthanasia or assisted suicide for the terminally ill cannot be legalized because that would run counter to basic societal values and the will of Parliament.
"Right now in our society, we do not condone the taking of life … but the legalization of assisted suicide and euthanasia would condone that, and that's where we say there would be a fundamental shift in societal values," she said.
The case revisits the constitutional challenge to Criminal Code sanctions against assisted suicide that Sue Rodriguez brought before the Supreme Court of Canada in 1993. The Victoria woman, who was dying of Lou Gehrig's disease, lost in a 5-4 decision, and subsequently committed suicide with the help of an anonymous physician.
But Ms. Nygard said the Supreme Court looked at the issue as recently as nine years ago, when it rejected an application from a man dying of AIDS who sought an exemption to the law so that he could have a doctor help him end his life.
The Supreme Court's rejection of that application, said Ms. Nygard, reinforced its ruling against Ms. Rodriguez.
And she added that there is no reason to think Canada's highest court would feel any differently about the issue now.
Ms. Nygard said Parliament has repeatedly considered and rejected proposed changes to the law since assisted suicide was criminalized in Canada in 1892. In recent years, she said, Parliament has dealt with nine private member's bills on the issue, three of which failed to gain any support, and six of which were debated in the House and voted down.
"This is an issue that has received extensive consideration," Ms. Nygard said.
Judge Smith asked Ms. Nygard about a 1972 decision by Parliament to repeal a law that made attempting suicide illegal, saying "the effect was to leave it to the discretion of an individual, rather than to criminalize an attempt to take one's own life."
But Ms. Nygard said Parliament's aim wasn't to condone suicide but rather to shift the focus to finding non-legal solutions to preventing suicide.
"The fact is the state stepped back … thus leaving a space of liberty for people to attempt that act," Judge Smith said.
"The intent was not at all to provide people with the opportunity to commit suicide. … [It was]a recognition there was no prohibitive effect [to the law]" Ms. Nygard replied.
She also argued that decriminalizing euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide could lead to the accidental taking of life, such as in cases of critically ill patients unable to communicate their wishes.Report Typo/Error

This past Sunday I wrote this post for Julianna Morlet's blog, The Girl That Sings. She's doing a series about "what we wish we would have known going into our twenties." Check out my post on her blog –>HERE<–.
Life Skills 101
My life as a wife started on July 12, 2008. I was 21 when my husband slipped a ring on my finger. Only a year before that had I been welcomed into my twenties, becoming more independent and starting to assume a few of my own personal responsibilities.
I have always said I wish there were required classes along the path to adulthood that would teach the basics of life. Instead of wasting my time on a semester of calculus I would have greatly benefited from a class that teaches life skills.
Like, HOW on earth do you shop for a place to live and what exactly is in that 500 page book you are signing when you buy a house? How do I build and maintain a good credit score? How do I shop for car insurance? What are the pros and cons of buying and leasing a car? How on earth do I fill out my taxes? Dave Ramsey? Suze Orman, who?
I hit my twenties and found myself whacked with a mountain of nonsense and decisions I had no idea how to make. Deductables? 401K? Retirement? Income taxes? Property taxes? Portfolios? Roth IRA? What? Toooo many acronyms! I had no preparation on how to handle everyday-life details. Thankfully I at least knew how to balance a checkbook and make a budget. However, I would have gladly skipped college algebra for a Dave Ramsey class to learn to stay out of debt!
Now, having dealt with these issues, I'm more knowledgable. But shouldn't you have some idea about this junk before you're forced into it? Shouldn't you be forced to learn these concepts? They'll teach you geometry formulas but not about the details of financing? It has never made sense to me.
Slow Your Roll
Those are all practical things and can be overwhelming but there are more important things I wish I had realized.
This past September I turned 25 and almost had a complete breakdown over the event. Okay "breakdown" may be a little dramatic, but it really got to me. I couldn't believe that five years had passed since I had entered my twenties. Those five years had flown by and in retrospect I felt like I had wished those five years away, wanting to be a grownup. I wish I had focused on living in the "now," learning and living in where I was at the moment. I wished I had absorbed every detail. It's cliché, but the older you get the faster time goes by.
Having long-term dreams and goals is important, but we have a lifetime to work on obtaining those. It can get frustrating waiting in that desert that is "In the Meantime" – that phase of our lives where we feel like we are stagnant. But there are times in our lives where we need to practice stillness and simply live in the moment, even if it's not where we want to be. It's a pit stop.
For the past three years I've been working at a job that has absolutely nothing to do with my overall goals. It's a job I got in order to pay the bills. I would beg God to please open a door for me to walk through that would lead me to a more creative path and get me on my way to getting my book published, or my big screen debut, or starting my successful business. So many times I would feel a sense of peace that he was working behind the scenes on my behalf. I felt it was my job to stay faithful to where he had me at that moment in my life. We are where we are in life for a reason – to learn lessons, to build character, to form relationships, and to be a light in the lives of others. When we focus on being faithful to where we are, at some point in life that effort will be rewarded. We just need to be patient.
One more thing…
Teenager beware. No matter how skinny you are your entire life, be aware of your metabolism. It exists and it really does slow down. Just listen to my 25 yr. old size 8 pants warn my 13-21 yr. old size 2 pants. They'll let you know. Exercise and eat right.
And one more thing I'd like to add…
Ladies, wear a bra because those puppies can't hold themselves up forever.
You can take that one to the bank.

Queensryche acts out music during show
Published 10:00 pm, Saturday, October 14, 2006
It was heavy-metal masterpiece theater Friday night at the Moore Theatre when hometown rockers Queensryche performed, emphasis on performed, its concept records "Operation: Mindcrime" and "Operation: Mindcrime II" in their entireties.
The emphasis is on performed, because the records were literally acted out by singer Geoff Tate and a crew of about a half-dozen actors, while the band played the music. It was a move that could have easily turned into something straight out of Spinal Tap's book, but it was executed surprisingly well, taking the unintentional comedy out of the equation.
Latest Entertainment Videos
It was tough to consider the show a concert, given the theatrical approach taken by the band. The performance felt like more like an off-Broadway play done heavy-metal style.
The records tell the story of a heroin addict named Nikki who is under the control of the evil Dr. X, who manipulates Nikki to commit a series of murders. Nikki falls in love with a nun named Mary, whose murder he is framed for.
He is sent to prison at the end of the first "Mindcrime" and the second record, released this year, picks up 18 years later where he exacts revenge on Dr. X and eventually is reunited with Mary in the afterlife.
At times, it was difficult to make out Tate's lyrics because of the massive volume of the band's dual guitar assault, but the acting helped tell the story and Tate's emotional gestures and facial expressions helped sell it.
While it is tough to single out specific songs from each record, given that taken as a whole all the songs tell a story, the standouts of the night were "I'm American," off the second "Mindcrime" and "Eyes of a Stranger" from the first album, which was released in 1988. During the latter song, the band got an assist on the drums from the Seahawk drum line, the Blue Thunder.
"Mindcrime II" has as many sinister riffs and shredding solos as its predecessor but is not as solid as the original, which remains one of the best metal records released by a Seattle band.
The literal performance of both records was something unique, different and enjoyable, and definitely a trick that only a band with die-hard fans, such as Queensryche, could pull off.

How the Mekong Delta fully taps into its potential to become one of the country's biggest economic hubs was hotly debated at an online conference on April 22.
The conference brought together leaders of the Steering Committee for the South-western Region, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Ministry of Education and Training, Can Tho city, and An Giang and Hau Giang provinces.
Delegates made an in-depth analysis of burning issues in the region, including agriculture and rural development, improvements of farmer livelihoods, regional connectivity, transport and education-training development, investment allocations and use, and specific incentives for the region.
They also defined the role of the Steering Committee for South-western region, and the roles and responsibilities of Mekong Delta provinces, particularly the nucleus city of Can Tho.
In the 2001-2010 period, all Mekong delta localities maintained political stability and national defence and made great strides in socio-economic development.
They built more than 10 national highway routes with a total length of 2,500km, 70 provincial roads, and nearly 11,500 bridges, while upgrading 23,200km of roads connecting to the national highway system.
Over VND4.6 trillion was mobilised to build flood control works, including those in the flood-prone Long Xuyen Quadrangle and the Plain of Reeds, and complete 35 irrigation works.
A large amount of investment was poured into education-training and health care, giving the whole region a facelift.
However, the region has revealed weaknesses in its development, including its unsteady economic growth, inefficient operation of industrial production, and low competitiveness of products.
Delegates agreed to develop the Mekong Delta into the leading agricultural and aquaculture area and one of the biggest energy production centres in the country.
The Mekong Delta comprises Can Tho city and An Giang, Bac Lieu, Ben Tre, Ca Mau, Dong Thap, Hau Giang, Kien Giang, Long An, Soc Trang, Tien Giang, Tra Vinh and Vinh Long provinces.
It is Vietnam's largest rice basket, producing more than half of the country's total rice output. It is also home to the country's biggest aquaculture industry, which produces most of shrimp and tra and basa fish for export.

Established in the fall of 1985 and renamed in 1988 in honor of its founder, the Donald P. Bullock Music Performance Institute's mission is to add to the already rich cultural life of Kalamazoo by creating opportunities to develop closer personal and artistic ties between audience and performer. The Bullock Performance Institute has presented events ranging from formal evening concerts to daytime educational outreach events for local audiences, college students, seniors and youths. As a result, the classical music appreciation and training of student performers and community members will be enhanced, and music lovers in general will have the opportunity to know guest artists more personally.
Dalton Wed@7:30pm: Live and Interactive! events will be held on Wednesdays in the Dalton Center Recital Hall on the campus of Western Michigan University. The series will showcase guest artists, WMU faculty artists and ensembles, and WMU student ensembles. Each event starts with a pre-concert talk hosted by Dr. Robert White at 7 p.m. Information about concerts can be obtained by calling (269) 387-4704 or (269) 387-4678.
The 75-minute no-intermision performance begins promptly at 7:30 p.m. Tickets: $12 (Seniors $10, Students $5) at Miller Auditorium or Dalton Center ticket office before the performance.

Career management and advancement is an ongoing process. You must be proactive at taking charge of your career and keeping it healthy by nurturing it with the nutrients of career building skills and industry knowledge. Read and act upon these tips to keep your career healthy always. In the coming weeks we will detail each of these points with more information and insight.
1. Clarify your career goals.
What are your aspirations at the present job or career? Perform a personal career "check-up" – is this the job or career you want to be in? Are you using your skills effectively and to your satisfaction? Does the present job / career inspire you? What can you do to enhance your career? Do you aspire for more success and contentment at work? Would you work better in a different work environment? Ask yourself such questions and answer honestly to correctly analyze your present career health. Take charge of your career – it is you and only you who can make the required changes to help yourself to an accelerated success and growth.
2. Analyze your current skill set.
What other skills can take you ahead of the crowd. Make a list and see how you can acquire these skills by either taking courses or learning on the job. Learning new skills should be on your list all the year through. Most of the companies reimburse you for your work related courses and certifications, utilize them. As values are to a personality so are skill set to your career growth and health. Invest and grow them as much as you can whenever you can to ensure constant career advancement.
3. Networking is an ongoing process.
Network and aim to diversify the group you interact with. You will learn a lot more from people from different business sectors or even different business divisions within your company and who knows you might discover your dream career that you thought never existed.
4. Document your successes.
Whatever project you work on today, keep on writing and updating about your accomplishments in a separate detailed "resume" or call it your portfolio. Thinking on how you increased your company's revenue 3 to 5 years down the road might be difficult if you have not documented your accomplishments and testimonials from customers / colleagues anywhere now.
5. You don't really need that MBA.
A higher degree in education or an MBA does not necessarily mean that it will make you smarter. Take initiatives and prove to be a leader at your workplace, experience teaches a lot more than what a degree can. Making yourself competitive to a position does not always call for a higher degree, your previous and present work will say a lot more. But if a certification or a degree makes you get ahead on the corporate ladder and you feel the need – go for it.
6. Be a team player; build a supportive relationship with co-workers.
Good interaction amongst your own group will help in generating good vibes and a good team to work with makes a great place to work in. Offer taking up project responsibilities for your colleagues / co-workers who wish to go on vacation. Being a team player and a good colleague has its value and who knows when you have to take a vacation or a break and then you might not need to even ask for a cover-up, the offer will come before you can ask. What goes around comes around.
7. Avoid office politics
It never helps anyone, if you do your job well and right, there is nothing else you should spend your time at in office. There is a wonderful life outside of the cubicle – use your energy there rather than on useless politics.
8. Learn to say NO.
If you feel you cannot manage everything under the present project responsibilities, learn to say no to what you cannot accomplish in the given timeframe, it is better to get this clear upfront than be confronted later on for not getting the tasks done.
9. When feeling frazzled with the workload – learn to prioritize.
At times the work load seems impossible to handle and the confusion ensues, learn to prioritize your work or work with your manager to help you identify the key issues to work on first. Delegating would help as well. Prioritize your work based on due date of an impending project, length or intensity of a task or the mere simplicity but do prioritize, it helps you get the tasks of your mind and desk one by one. It says a lot about your organization skills as well.
10. Soft skills – communication skills.
The importance of communication skills should never be underestimated. With good communication skills you can land a better job, pay raises, presenting great presentations at your industry's expo gets you brilliant testimonials and client appreciation or just better communication with your colleagues and manager improves your daily work-life. Work towards polishing these skills. Interpersonal skills will help you better in negotiations, being a good leader and working in a culturally diverse workplace.
11. Don't be on phone, messenger or Email for too long.
Though it depends on an individual company policy, the time you spend on "other" activities may be monitored. Emails can be immensely distracting when concentrating on a particular task, practice accessing Emails only a couple of times a day when the workload demands more focus.
12. Be Assertive when it calls for. Make yourself visible.
Make your manager aware on the list of tasks accomplished by initiating regular meetings or weekly work reports. If the manager is too busy to traveling to have these regular meetings mark on your calendar to send via Email a weekly report either at the end of the week or the beginning of the week. By doing so you are making yourself visible and marketing yourself as a reliable and accountable worker. Market yourself; the corporate world is a lot about how well you market yourself.
13. Don't be shocked or feel paralyzed when or if you are in a layoff. Take Action.
If you are prepared and have taken time to keep your career healthy all the year long, the layoff could offer you with the best of opportunities. And if you are prepared be sure to negotiate a severance or a suitable package as soon as you can. You can only do so if you plan this now – ahead of the axe falling and you feeling too numb to take an action. Preparedness is the key to getting what you want. And taking charge of your career now is the essence of it all. There are many articles on
Satisfying Career – Happier Life
which will guide you through the layoff and towards new employment opportunities.
14. Research Salary Structures and Promotion opportunities in different companies.
Research and read about the salary structures in other states or business sector close to yours. Prepare ahead of a yearly review on how and why you deserve a salary hike. You get what you ask for.
15. Is there an entrepreneur in you?
If you have entrepreneurial skills, dive in early to launch a start-up or partner to do so. Procrastination might only show you that someone else had your idea and launched a cool start-up – the one you only thought about or the market plunges while you were sitting on the idea and having your legs in two different boats. You can also implement your entrepreneurial ideas to your present job if you think hard about it and of course take on the initiative to present to higher management. That can be considered a valuable contribution to your present career. It also gives you hands on experience and tools and advice that you could take perhaps years to gain on your own.
16. Don't skip jobs just because the other company pays you better.
You will not find satisfaction if your job description does not inspire you or you want more creativity in your work. Take time to decide on a company and a career, even if it might mean being out of job for some time or taking a slight salary hit. You can find yourself going up the promotional ladder much faster in a company that supports multi-directional promotions than that with a flat management hierarchy.
17. Always keep abreast of news on companies within your business area.
Read and keep abreast on their market rankings in your area of interest. Read trade magazines and newspaper research on the hiring trends and market value of some new companies that you feel can be a good company to work for, for better growth and salary. Keeping pace with the changing marketplace is the key to sustainable survival in the job market. Job market and the way people work is changing fast learn to adapt well and you will be in control.
18. Prepare well ahead of your performance review.
Send a copy of your accomplishments and work record well ahead of time to your manager. Take notes during the review and discuss in details with your manager on a future road-map to further training / improvement or setting new goals. Schedule a follow-up meeting if you did not agree with the assessment in the given time-frame, substantiate your feedback with evidence of your performance as perceived and testified by customers or colleagues you have worked with.
19. Don't be in a job burnout.
Practice work-life balance and that would keep you more focused and provide a satisfying career. Talk to your manager about flextime working or telecommuting if you think it helps you get some stress out of daily routine. Managing your time and leading a balanced life is a key to your career and personal health. Excessive stress and tension at work breeds a health risk and tends to affect your social life as well. Only a healthy you can help steer your career to a better place. Always make health a priority.
20. Don't eat alone.
Again it is an emphasis to the networking topic we talked about earlier, but it is work taking it in again. Don't skip the lunch hour or eat alone at your desk, this is a perfect time to make new contacts or in other words – networking. As stated before, networking is an ongoing process – it happens everywhere anytime. Also take walks or just move away from your desk at times, creative ideas and solutions pop-up mostly when you are not staring continuously at the computer screen. Getting away from a known and comfortable spot enables the mind to see the situation in a new light.
21. Learn to separate work life and personal life.
Don't take work home if you can. The more you let yourself work from home in non-working hours, the more the habit reigns. There is something on the back of your mind always that you have to check the Email or get the work done. If you are not trying to meet an urgent deadline, don't bring work home. Try to get work wrapped up in the office hours, always remember that work would never be "done with" even if you worked two hours extra every night. Work procreates!
22. Challenge yourself. Create new opportunities.
Attend your company expos and learn new skills at work to enhance your career. Create a career opportunity if you do not see any. If you have some special skills that your company can use, discuss with upper management how and if a new position could be created to use your full potential. Present a fictional case study or provide solutions to a current problem that your company now faces to showcase your abilities. Get out of your comfort zone and do something new – be it your career or your personal life. Life energizes with challenges, be an active participant to new challenges within your company.
23. Find a mentor.
An effective career strategy involves seeking out more experienced people in one's field, and learning new skills from these mentors. You learn from their experience and mistakes as well. Learning from people who have already been there will help you get over the obstacles you face or the fears and anticipation you have for a particular task – faster than with your stumbles and experiments alone. Advisors help accelerate your learning.
24. Career coaching – "Coaching is to performance what leadership is to an organization".
Are you fully satisfied with where you are in your work and career? Do you feel that something is not completely right and find your present career uninspiring? Maybe it's time for a coach, an ally who can help you sort through where you are and where you want to go. A coach helps you succeed and you could reach your peak performance or land your dream career with some guidance and help.
25. Create a personal career growth plan.
Create short-term and long-term plans for your career path. Use this plan as a tool to discuss with your manager during or before the performance planning or as a benchmark for your own reference. Periodically check on your achievements and update on new goals to achieve for the short-term or the long-term. Be realistic and consult with others if you feel the goals to be too daunting to be achieved or have not accomplished what you feel you should have.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Could Barack Obama's NCAA championship pick have something to do with an upcoming primary? No, he was leaning toward North Carolina because of its 6-foot-9 star.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Could Barack Obama's NCAA championship pick have something to do with an upcoming primary?
No, he was leaning toward North Carolina because of its 6-foot-9 star.
The Democratic presidential candidate and avid basketball player selected North Carolina, Kansas, Pittsburgh and UCLA in his Final Four bracket, and is counting on North Carolina to beat UCLA in the championship game.
The state of North Carolina, with 115 delegates at stake, holds its primary May 6.
In an interview Thursday morning with WRBZ-AM in Raleigh, Obama had Stanford in his Final Four, picking the Cardinals to beat Pittsburgh because of their 7-foot freshman twins. Obama's staff said he could have been leaning toward the team at one point, but Pittsburgh is his Final Four choice.
The Illinois senator began working on his NCAA basketball tournament bracket during his short flight Wednesday from Fayetteville to Charlotte, N.C. The campaign staff is competing in a $10 per person pool.
Pressed in an interview with the Charlotte Observer on Wednesday about his picks, Obama said he was swayed by the Tar Heels' 6-foot-9 star Tyler Hansbrough, not politics.
"That's a big boy, there," he said. "So I've got to fill it out, I've got to do a little bracketology before I make a final decision."
Intent on being part of March Madness, Republican rival John McCain has an NCAA bracket competition on his campaign Web site.
"McCain brackets are back!" the site says. "Compare your basketball picks to John McCain and be eligible for great McCain 2008 prizes."
Among the prizes are a McCain fleece jacket, McCain cap and McCain pin.
Obama wondered whether McCain had filled out his own bracket or left the task to an aide. Bottom line, he said he's not interested in the prizes offered by McCain's campaign.
"I've got my own T-shirts, man," Obama said in the radio interview. "Our T-shirts are superior, what can I tell you."

Zombie-Killing: Legal Implications In Virginia
The Zombie Apocalypse. We know its coming. We just don't know if we can stop it. Fictionalized accounts of the Zombie Apocalypse have been presented in TV shows like The Walking Dead, movies like 28 Days Later, Night of the Living Dead, or my personal favorite, Shaun of the Dead. When the Zombie Apocalypse actually arrives, the reality will be much different. This is not a blog about how to prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse. For that, simply go through the Center for Disease Control's web page dedicated to Zombie Preparedness.
The truth is, when the zombies begin to attack, we will still have a government. We will have police, courts, judges and juries. There will still be the rule of law—for a while, at least. So the question is, what legal ramifications exist for the average Virginia resident who fights back against the zombies, and kills (or more accurately, re-kills) one (or more)?
First, how do you even kill a zombie? Regardless of whether the zombie was created by voodoo or a deadly disease, the consensus is, you have to destroy the brain.
The fact that you have to kill the zombie's brain to kill the zombie leads to the all-important question: is an undead zombie legally dead or alive? If a zombie is alive, then does the zombie have the same basic Constitutional rights as any other person in the United States? If so, then killing a zombie could be considered a homicide. When is someone declared dead? Is a person dead when their heart or lungs no longer function on their own? Then a zombie is dead. Is it when the brain ceases function and the person is in a "permanent vegetative state"? Now we're in gray area. A zombie's brain is what keeps the zombie going, hence the need to destroy the brain to kill the zombie. But is the brain functioning independently? Would a zombie with a brain functioning solely through mystical spells be akin to a person kept breathing through a respirator? Or, if it is a virus or other pathogen animating the body through the brain, is the zombie body just a vessel for the virus?
In Virginia, homicides can be classified as murder or manslaughter. Murder is broken down into three categories, namely capital murder (Virginia Code § 18.2-31), first degree and second degree murder (Virginia Code § 18.2-32).
- Capital murder is the "willful, deliberate and premeditated" killing of another in conjunction with a variety of acts or targets. "Willful, deliberate and premeditated" simply means having the intent to kill someone prior to killing that person. Capital murder is punishable by life in prison or the death penalty.
- First degree murder is a malicious killing of another person under a second certain defined set of circumstances. First degree murder can be punished by life in prison.
- Second degree murder is the malicious killing of another person, or the accidental killing of a person while committing a felony. Second degree murder carries a maximum penalty of forty years incarceration.
The "malice" required for first or second degree murder amounts to intentionally committing a wrongful act to another person without a legal justification and when in your right mind.
Manslaughter, by contrast to murder, can be voluntary (intentional killing in the heat of passion or in mutual combat), or involuntary (unintentional killing that resulted from conduct that displays a lack of regard for human life). Manslaughter generally carries a ten year maximum prison sentence, although aggravated manslaughter can result in a longer period of incarceration.
Obviously, if zombies are considered people, then killing them might amount to murder or manslaughter, depending upon the circumstances.
But what if the zombie is considered a dead body? In that case, a person utilizing any of the brain destruction methods I linked to above could be considered guilty of defiling a dead body (Virginia Code § 18.2-126(B)), a felony that carries a maximum punishment of five years of prison. Defilement has to be willful and intentional.
In reality, all the legal theory in the world will go out the window when one is confronted with an actual zombie attack. Zombies are by their very natures constant and real threats to our own lives, as well as the lives of our loved ones. If a zombie is alive, then self-defense becomes a legitimate defense, in my opinion, to almost any form of zombie-killing. Refer to my posting, Self-Defense Vs. Assault And Battery In Virginia, for a longer discussion about self-defense in the criminal justice context.
The bottom line is, whether a zombie is classified as living or dead, or whether the undead will require a separate classification altogether, one has to weigh the possible consequences of criminal prosecution against the consequences of not fighting back. Your life-your brain-may depend on it.
Oh, and one more thing: have a safe and happy Halloween!
…so slap the cuffs on me, b/c my zombie-brain-destruction defilement will certainly be willful and intentional! But thank you for the head's up concerning my legal ramifications. I thought that I might be safer in prison during the zombie apolcalypse until the last few airings of "The Walking Dead"…now I'm not so sure…until I'm thrown in jail, my pick axe/tire iron will never leave my side.

From All-Black-Everything to white-tee and khaki cargo shorts, Jay-Z can pull any simple outfit off with ease. Just last Thursday Jay-Z helped kick off the World Basketball Festival with a great musical performance that capped off the WBF's Opening Night extravaganza at the Radio City Music Hall, but more recently he was spotted mingling with celeb-couple Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin.

Hi guys, I was talking with one of my students who's implementing a little chat server (and pig-latin translator) using universe, and naturally it occurred to me that -- although I've had students implemented a basic command-line editor earlier in the year (along the lines of what's in HtDP/2e) -- it'd be nice to have the option of doing this kind of thing without messing around with console input handling. So I started playing around with the GUI toolkit, and produced the code below: a console object and a demo file. I'm curious about: 1) whether there's a decent (and minimally intrusive) way to hook into universe to trigger events from this console -- polling a state variable in the tick handler is kinda icky 2) whether there's any locking I'd need to do to make it safe for both the user-input-callback (see below) and a universe/big-bang event handler callback to call append-line as I'm doing below 3) whether overriding on-char is really an OK way to make a text% object "read-only" from the user's perspective 4) whether there's already some spiffy console-style class I've missed in the docs :) Thanks, jmj ;; --- console-demo.ss ------------------------------------ #lang scheme/gui (require 2htdp/universe "console.ss") ;; Set up the console window: (define the-frame (let ([new-es (make-eventspace)]) ;; big-bang takes over the Interactions window's eventspace for use by ;; its on-key and on-mouse, so here we create and install a separate ;; event space to handle events in our console. ;; This means also that ;; (a) we must install a stop-when test to halt the world when the ;; window closes, and ;; (b) after the world halts, (send the-frame show #t) can re-show the ;; frame (but does NOT restart the world).
