Cover Letters
Career Issues
As a rule, most employers hate reading cover letters. Because nearly all of them are what I call, 3B: bland, boring and banal.
In fact, most cover letters are such formulaic exercises in boredom that I suggest you stop sending them to employers.
That's right. Don't send a cover letter.
Instead, send a sales letter.
After all, your goal in writing to employers is to "sell" them on hiring you, right?
With that in mind, here's a success story that will help you stop sending cover letters, and start sending sales letters that get job interviews.
Paul D. from White Bear Lake, Minn. writes:
"I met you at the Star Tribune job expo and I wanted to comment on your tip to write a sales letter rather than a cover letter. I took your advice and, after sending the new cover letter to apply for two jobs online, I had one call the same day for an interview! The other call came the day after."
Paul batted 1.000 with the two cover letters he sent out. Not bad. And his story offers three lessons that can get you hired …
1) Get Attention by Asking a Question
You must get employers' attention at the start of your letter and compel them to read. Otherwise, your letter won't have any effect - bored readers will skim it, then rush to read your résumé.
An easy way to get attention is to ask a question. Why? Questions are hard to ignore - they engage and involve readers.
This is what I suggested at the job search seminar Paul attended. He took my advice and wrote a new cover letter that began like this:
Dear Mr. Peterson:
Are you looking for a professional marketing person who has demonstrated analytical and problem-solving ability, practical project management skills and excellent written and verbal communication skills?
Paul's question practically forces readers to answer, Yes! And if you can get employers to nod in agreement while reading your "sales letter," you've taken a giant leap toward getting hired.
2) Emphasize Specific Results
Which of the following statements is more interesting?
A) I'm a hard worker, honest and reliable, with excellent attention to detail.
B) I saved my last employer more than $1,000.
It's B, of course. B makes a specific claim, while A is a list of generalities. All things being equal, the candidate who sprinkles results throughout his/her "sales letter" is more likely to get hired. Because that's what ever person is hired to do at every employer - produce results.
That's what Paul emphasized in his letter - specific results like these:
My attention to detail saved my company more than one thousand dollars in incorrect registration forms over six months.
Now, that isn't perfect. I would use numerals (not words), put them first, and include a dollar sign, all of which makes the results more obvious. Like this:
I saved more than $1,000 for my company in 6 months, by finding and correcting registration forms.
3) End with a Provocative P.S.
Here's where Paul hit it out of the park.
Remember, you want to send a sales letter, not a cover letter. And what do all sales letters have? A P.S. at the end. (Read your junk mail after you finish this article to verify this is true.)
Good sales letters have a P.S. because good copywriters know the P.S. always gets read. Why? That's not important now.
What is important is for you to include a P.S. in your "sales letter" that is so intriguing, employers have no choice but to call you to learn more.
That's what Paul did. Here's the P.S. he wrote, following my advice:
P.S. – Please call me if you would like to learn how I produced over $70,000 in grant money for the Minnesota Trucking Association last year.
This is simple and brilliant. Just as the opening question of Paul's letter forced readers to nod and answer Yes, the P.S. forces them to say, Huh? Then, pick up the phone and call.
In Paul's case, he got two calls in two days, from two "sales letters." And one new job. Here's the rest of his letter to me:
"I finished the second interview yesterday and was offered the job the same day! Best of all, I was able to negotiate a raise and I am convinced that if I had not rewritten my cover letter it would have never happened. Thank you!"
Today, more than ever, you need to stop sending boring cover letters and start sending sizzling sales letters. To do so, follow these three tips: open with a question, emphasize specific results, and include a P.S.
Now, go out and make your own luck!

I met you for the first time in 1990, when my then boyfriend, now husband, brought me home to meet his parents. You were 53 years old, and you were gorgeous. When I entered the living room, you were sitting on your favorite brown leather recliner, smoking a pipe. When you rose to greet me, tall and broad-shouldered, with bright blue eyes and a barely-graying full head of hair, I thought, "wow, he's really handsome. I hope his son ages as well as he does."
I don't remember much else from that first meeting, except that I quickly realized that the good looks were accompanied by an abundance of self confidence and a ton of charisma. In fact, were you not so honest, if intellectual integrity wasn't so important to you, you would have made a great politician. Instead, you became an engineer.
Over the next 23 years, I slowly got to know you better. The 34 years separating us, and our different outlooks and temperaments, caused some friction. I was a fierce feminist; you – not so much. You liked to have the final word, and so did I. Despite these differences, it was impossible not to admire you. It was impossible not to love you – you made sure of that. A classic extrovert, you thrived on other people's company, craved attention, and needed to be loved. Whenever you met someone new, you turned on the charm and made sure they loved you – whether it was your new daughter in law, or a server at a restaurant.
Incredibly accomplished (you held a PhD and spoke six languages), you expected a lot of yourself, and of others. You loved your family, but you especially respected your son, my husband, whom you considered to be your intellectual equal. Whenever we sat down for a family dinner, you tolerated no more than half an hour of idle family talk, before becoming bored and turning to your son with some engineering or science topic. Now THAT was interesting!
You warned me about becoming a lawyer. I was 19, you were 54 – I should have listened. You shared your personal life experience with lawyers and talked about how nasty most of them were. You didn't want me, your future daughter in law, to lower myself to that level. But I was young and proud and determined – I guess I had the right to make my own mistakes, and becoming a lawyer was a big one.
When our first daughter was born, I watched you transform. When I met you, your work brought you immense fulfillment and happiness. As soon as you became a grandpa, your grandchildren became the most important thing in your life. Your work was still important, of course – and you continued working well past your official retirement in 2002 – but your grandchildren were the light of your life, and brought you so much joy. It's a shame that my daughters grew up 6,000 miles away from you, but you did get to spend summers together – including the last summer of your life.
During the last few years of your life, I watched you struggle with Parkinson's disease. You attacked the disease with courage – I would have expected no less of you – but slowly it was taking its toll on your body and on your mind. When we found out that you had to undergo heart surgery, it was obvious that you were ready to let go. You bid farewell to your friends, leaving detailed burial instructions for your family. You never woke up from that surgery – your heart stopped and there was no reviving you. Your daughter believes, and I love that thought, that you simply decided that what was laying ahead if you did survive the surgery, years of indignity and suffering, was not the proper way to end your rich, full life. So you exited life with grace and dignity, choosing to go at a time when we could still remember you as our gorgeous, smart, proud Yoav.
Your son, my husband, is in Israel now, for your funeral and the Shiva (the seven days of mourning), and we talk often on the phone. Yesterday when we talked, I could swear I heard your voice in the background – you had this thunderous voice, a voice that made sure no one could possibly ignore you. I thought I heard that voice, then I realized, that voice was gone, it no longer exists and I will never hear it again. And I could not grasp it. I've known you for 23 years – almost for as long as I've know my husband. You've been an important part of my life. Your bigger-than-life personality, your charm, your warmth – I will miss them. I will miss you.
Goodbye, dear Yoav. May you rest in peace.

An obsession is something unhealthy to everyone but the person obsessed. Lately I have been obsessed with fountain pens. For several years I searched in vain for a pen that felt "right", every new type of pen that I encountered had to be mine as certainly this new design would give me what I felt I needed. I then recalled the cheap fountain pen I had used all through High School and all was settled, at least, for awhile.
My first foray into this madness was the purchase of a no name Chinese made piece. With that I forgot all about what writing instrument I used and simply used it. Then, just this past December, while browsing pen pics (a habit my wife playfully calls "pen porn") I stumbled upon the Montblanc Thomas Mann Writers Edition, and once more I was seized with the thought of the supreme writing experience I might be missing out on. The Montblanc was the price of a used car, but there were other prestigious pens far more in my range. I settled upon a Parker IM, with which I wrote this very essay. Its sleek design and elegant simplicity was love at first (forgive the pun) write. However, this too was not enough.
Now, after but two months since its purchase I have again bought another, a vintage Parker "51". Anyone who collects pens knows that this is the most coveted of its type ever made. Its revolutionary hooded nib, its balance in the hand, and long history have made it a prized item not to be without.
Now will my pen lust be sated? After a forty dollar eBay auction I would like to believe so, however, I realize this is not the end. I may indeed be done with pens, but something else is certain to rise up and ensnare my brain, for at my age I've learned that one may be very creative in avoiding creativity. The need to write is sublimated into writing instruments and one can become convinced that just one more tool will give you the edge. Thankfully, I learned to catch this trick of the mind years ago and work around it, as evidenced by what you are reading now. But for others the lure may keep them searching when all they needed was before them all along. In that case the pen may truly be mightier than the sword.

FAQ (Click on Question to view the answers)
What is the process to design / develop a wesbite?
The process starts when we get two things from your end; 50% of the payment and answer to our Website Designing questioner. This helps our layout artist understand your prespective on the website you wish to make in terms of look and feel; for example the images to choose, color preferences, websites that we need to refer to or base your website on. Your are required to send your logo if you already have one.
A dedicated single point of contact is established, so that its easier for you to co-ordinate the process from start to finish.
On receipt of the questioner our layout artists design 2 mock-up layouts, which are sent to you in 2 business days. You can then review the layouts and have a chance to send us your feedback in terms of changes required, like change in images, site colors, etc.
We usually take 1-2 days depending upon the complexity of the changes requested in your feedback. Once you are satistied with the outcome the layout is considered approved (on your confirmation). The layout artist then works on the inside pages and converting design to HTML; at which stage we expect to already have the content for the inside pages.
Once the site is ready it is uploaded to our staging server (e.g. yourcompany.master55.com). You then get a chance to review the completed website (as it would appear on your server when uploaded), and once again give us your feedback in terms of changes if any.
On final approval and the receipt of the remaining payment we transfer the website to your domain; at which stage we would require the FTP and Web Hosting Control Panel access information.
What kind of website do I need? How would I know?
Type 1 – Static Website
There are two main types of website
Which is a HTML website with no database interaction and used by small to medium size businesses to display their products and services.
These type of websites usually don't have a great deal of change in their content over time.
Type 2 – Dynamic Website
It's a database driven website. Like a CMS, ecommerce, blog, forum, member registration, member login, etc.
These type of websites usually have a backend control panel via which you can manage the website contents and view regisitration data.
Are the Website Designs custom made or readymade templates?
All our designs are customized and are tailor made to customer's needs.
- Everyone has a different choice of design; hence all the websites we have make are unique.
- We don't have any readymade templates, but we make your website in such a fashion that it seems as if it's a highly profession template, which is better than the readymade templates available.
Are images provided by you or do I need to supply them?
Our basic Website Package includes 5 free images from a Stock Photography Website each being of 1 credit. The product and services images can be provided by you and they will be placed on the website as per your requriements. For any additional images required from a Stock Photography Website we charge 2 USD per 1 credit for the image.
How can I see my website progress?
We usually upload (or update) the website on our staging server (e.g. yourcompany.master55.com) after each milestone or major update. The project co-ordinator is responsible for informing you about the changes made and providing you with the URL of the site for you to review.
Whom should I contact for my website progress inquiry?
Every project is assigned a single point of contact, for any queries or concerns you may have during the website progress.
How many revisions am I allowed for a template?
We have a different concept to the system of revisions. What we feel is when a job is done right the first time; it does not require any revisions. We are custom Website Development Company, which means we design the template as per your needs thus it is unlikely that you won't like it. Inspite of that we are open to minor changes. And if you still don't like the template, we make a new layout/template for you which usually on happens 2% of the time.
How many revisions am I allowed for a Website?
You can review the Website on our development server (e.g. yourcompany.master55.com) on each stage of the development and send us feedback in terms of changes. Those changes within the scope are made however those out of scope and any design changes (after the approval of the template/layout) would cost extra.
How can I contact you?
We can be contacted via email of the project co-ordinator. We can also be contacted on the US based landline numbers during our office hours. Our office hours are posted on our contact page.
How will I be able to send you the changes? Are you available to talk on the phone or chat on Instant Messenger?
We usually do not prefer to use Instant Messenger as a means of communication however are prepared to use it on prior notification from you.
We would encourage you to send your changes/feedback via the email or phone. We prefer you send us your changes/feedback via email and if something requires an explanation we would either contact you via email or phone at a time of your choice. We also have the facility for conference calls and net meetings where one can share the desktop.
Am I allowed to talk direclty with the designer / developer?
We usually have a point of contact assigned for each project who can answer all you questions.
Is is possible to change a design that has already been approved by me?
It is possible to change the design but at an extra cost since it is an extra effort. The cost depends on the complexity of the changes required.
Is it possible for me to make changes to a Static HTML Website?
Yes it is possibe for a person who knows HTML language to make changes to the website. Usually the layman cannot make changes to a Static HTML Website.
Which software is used for CMS?
We use wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, CMS Made Simple, and many others. Word press is the most preferred one.
How CMS works? Is it easy for end user?
It is very easy for the user. We also do provide Video tutorials on the same.
Are there any add-ons available for the basic CMS?
Yes there are many plugins / add-ons available for the CMS. We change for the installation and setup of the plugins the cost of which vaires as per requirement. e.g. SEO plugin, gallery, etc.

"The record revenue, excellent earnings and healthy operating cash flow in 2004 are evidence of the company's focused strategy and growth momentum in both the casino and poker segments of the global online gaming market," said the Cryptologic press release. "CryptoLogic continues to be the blue-chip e-gaming software company," said Lewis Rose, President and CEO.
In the last quarter of 2004, CryptoLogic's revenue was $17.9 million, providing earnings of $3.8 million. The fourth quarter advance alone was represented by a growth in earnings to 27 cents per diluted share, which was ahead of the average forecast made by analysts. "Fiscal 2004 full year earnings were also strong at $1.01 per diluted share on a 44% increase in revenue to a record $63.7 million," the press release continued.
Meanwhile, "consistent cash generation" led to a 67% increase in the quarterly dividend to $0.05 per share.
The continued financial success of CryptoLogic's fourth quarter in 2004 is largely attributed to a 165% increase in online poker at cryptologic.com; an increase of 15% (from 4th quarter, 2003) in online casino revenue; and to overseas markets which were also up in the revenues of licensees.
CryptoLogic.com has also renewed and extended with its lucrative UK licensee, The Ritz Club London Online, for both online casino and poker solutions developed by CryptoLogic.

Crosses can be both a decorative item and a way to show your faith. Many people also use wooden crosses to memorialize a family member after death. Decorating a wooden cross for a garden or other outdoor display means adding a personal touch to a traditional icon. As an artistic project or way to honor a loved one, decorating a wooden cross can be a healing way to express yourself.
Things You'll Need
- Vice
- Grapevine or barbed wire
- Wire cutters
- Heavy duty staples
- Staple gun
- Heavy gloves or garden gloves
- Clear lacquer spray
- Wood stain or paint
- Paintbrush
- Hot glue gun
- Clear glue sticks
- Craft glass rounds
- Clear silicone caulk
Religious Reflection
Post your wooden cross in the ground or in a vice in your workshop so you can work in the round without having to handle the cross or materials.
Take the end of a length of grapevine or barbed wire. The length of the material varies dependent upon the size of the cross. Start with 4 yards of material for a medium-sized cross and add or cut with wire cutters as necessary.
Attach the grapevine or wire to the bottom of the cross using heavy-duty staples. Use a staple gun to connect the material to the wooden cross.
Wear heavy gloves to handle the wire (or garden gloves for grapevine) and wrap the material around the straight upward portion of the cross.
Move the material back down and to the left and right of the cross to wrap the arms. This will make the center of the cross a bit thicker and add more interest to the piece.
Bring the end of the material to the back-center of the cross and secure with a heavy duty staple.
Spray the cross with a clear lacquer to make the piece water resistant and further secure the attached material.
Sparkling Tribute
Paint the wood cross with a light wood stain or white opaque outdoor paint with a medium-sized brush. Allow to dry.
Heat up your hot glue gun and clear glue sticks. Use heavy duty clear glue for the best result.
Mix up the assortment of glass round pieces to apply an unplanned pattern or divide glass pieces by color if you are adding specific details.
Starting at the top of the cross, place glass rounds, flat side down onto the cross. Complete a section to your liking before gluing in place.
Using the hot glue, apply a dollop of glue to the flat side of the glass and press firmly onto the cross. Continue placing the glass closely together to cover the wood cross.
Apply glass to both sides of the cross to use in the center of a garden or in front of a house.
Apply a clear silicone caulk around the glass rounds to further secure and protect the project if you plan on leaving it outdoors year round.
Tips & Warnings
- Seal all outdoor wooden crosses with a clear weatherproof sealant.
- Always check the labels of paints and sealants to make sure they are weather resistant when using your wooden crosses outdoors.

Republican members of the House of Representatives believe there is more to meets the eye when it comes to President Obama's decision not to approve the Keystone XL pipeline last year, and they are determined to find the truth, no matter who they have to subpoena.
How far up the ladder are House Republicans willing to go? Far enough to reach Secretary of State John Kerry, who House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, claimed he would subpoena if necessary.
Obama announced in November he would not approve of the pipeline. His decision had been anticipated for several months, and one of the reasons he cited for the delay was a report he was awaiting from the State Department on the pipeline's projected economic and environmental impacts.
Advertisement - story continues below
Chaffetz says Kerry has until the end of next week to comply with requests to hand over pertinent documents or the Secretary will force his hand.
Kerry was sent a letter earlier this week by Chaffetz and committee sub-chair Rep Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), informing him that they are tired of being given the runaround since first asking for the documents in February. They claim the State Department recently let the committee know it will not cooperate with document requests.
"Weeks after asserting the production was forthcoming, the department now states that it will not fully comply, and has failed to state any valid objection for doing so," said the letter, which was released Friday.
Advertisement - story continues below
The letter, which was originally sent May 31, goes on to say that "given the department's ongoing failure to fulfill this request, the committee is left with no choice but to consider use of the compulsory process if a complete set of requested documents is not received by June 7, 2016."

BC Government Spent $32,000 on Podium Signs
BC's best investigative reporter, Bob Mackin, launched a new website over the break (www.thebreaker.news) and it's already in my regular reading rotation. No one digs more out of government via Freedom of Information (FOI) than Bob.
Here's a good example. Over the past few years, it has become typical for custom made signs to grace podiums at BC Government news conferences. It's a way for the government to reinforce the key message they want to send at the event (and often a Twitter hashtag too).
Mackin decided to FOI the cost of these signs. From The Breaker:
The BC Liberal government spent almost $32,000 between April 2013 and July 2016 on podium signs for news conferences.
Forty-two of the slogan-slathered boards cost taxpayers more than $100 each.
Both the quantity and cost have increased year-over-year, from $5,852.13 for 96 signs in the 2013 fiscal year to $7,709.32 for 143 in 2014. Last year, the government spent $12,643.57 for 240 podium signs. In just over three months of the fiscal year that began March 31, the government already spent $5,469.77 on 83 signs.

Intermediate Training
Our Intermediate classes continue the positive reinforcement of the commands learned in Basic Training. Here, we will take it to the next level - challenging your dog by building command duration- so they can remain sitting, laying, staying, focusing, etc. for increasing amounts of time.
We will help you sharpen their powers of concentration, by practicing commands while increasing the distractions - such as bouncing balls, treats on the floor or other dogs walking around. Through practicing, your dog will learn to remain sitting in front of a treat, as you back up across the room and, even, out of sight! The relationship between you and your dog will be even further developed to achieve faster command responses and improved attention. Another skill learned will be to heel - remaining right by your side without tugging, matching your pace as you speed up, slow down, go up and down steps and do figure 8's.
We will also learn new, complex, fun commands including
Sessions are 1 hour long, and we meet once a week for 4 weeks. $99

About Me
I love having fun in everything I do and photography is no exception. First got into photography sophomore year of high school and loved it ever since. I'm currently attending the University of California, Irvine as a computer science major. Been tinkering with computers since as long as I can remember. Created my first virus when I was in 7th grade and cracked SecuRom version 1 & 2 copy protection during freshman year of high school. So yes, you can definitely say I'm a geek.
Photography and electronics runs in the family, father and uncles all love photography. My first SLR was a Canon AE-1 given to me by Uncle Jimmy. My passion is portrait/glamour and weddings. After attending my first wedding, I was hooked. Loved it. Just a few months after that I shot my first wedding as a secondary shooter and became obsessed. My style of photography is all about capturing the moment. Capturing the moment is what sparked the passion for photography. Video is the way the world is headed but still photos will always hold their power. How often do you or your family look at the video of your wedding? But I bet the formal wedding picture is hanging on the wall somewhere where everyone can enjoy. Do you have pictures of your loved ones in your wallet/purse? I think you can see my point now. Watching a video of Yosemite's El Capitan, you lose the sense of grandure. Look at a "real" print from an original negative of Ansel Adams' and the feeling of grandure is not only present but your emotions will be stirred into action.
My name is Ronnie Chung and I look forward to being your photographer.
Photography comes second to school. Please don't be mad if I push back a shoot or delay response due to school work.

[email protected] Tel: 01332 673131 Fax: 01332 677590 b School of Forensic and Investigative Sciences, University of Central Lancashire, Preston, PR1 2HE Keywords: hydromagnesite, huntite, UltraCarb, fire, flame, retardant, filler, mineral Abstract Naturally occurring mixtures of hydromagnesite and huntite have found important industrial use. Their endothermic decomposition over a temperature range similar to that of commonly used polymers and their release of water and carbon dioxide, has led to such mixtures being successfully used as fire retardants. They have replaced aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide in many applications. The current understanding of the thermal decomposition mechanism of both minerals and their combination in natural mixtures has been reviewed and related to their fire retardant action. Both minerals contribute to the reduction in flammability of polymers although the extent of these interactions has not been fully investigated. However, the fire retardant mechanism of these minerals appears more complicated than either aluminium hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide. This paper critically examines the literature on the fire retardant behaviour of mixtures of hydromagnesite and huntite, providing information of particular use to formulators of fire retardant polymers using these minerals. It also highlights the gaps in understanding of the fire retardant mechanisms of mixtures of hydromagnesite and huntite and areas that require further research. 1. Metal Hydroxides and Other Mineral Fire Retardant Additives The largest group of mineral fire retardants are metal hydroxides. Aluminium hydroxide (ATH) and magnesium hydroxide are the most widely used[

Congressman Brian Bilbray (CA-50) today issued the following statement announcing the introduction of H.R. 3203, the Novel Device Regulatory Relief Act of 2011. This bipartisan legislation will improve the Food and Drug Administration's third party review and inspection process by making it more efficient, transparent, and beneficial to the life science industry that employs more than 2 million people in the United States. Please see the below statements:
"The current regulatory environment of the Food and Drug Administration has a negative impact on patients, jobs, and innovation in the United States. The San Diego life science cluster is one of the largest in the world, accounting for more than 24,000 jobs in our region. The Novel Device Regulatory Relief Act will help protect these jobs and patients who rely on their products." -- Congressman Brian Bilbray, Represents California's 50th Congressional District and Member of the House Energy & Commerce Committee
What Industry Leaders Are Saying
"We commend Congressman Bilbray for helping to streamline the onerous regulatory process, which is impeding health care innovation and stifling job growth," said Don Casey, CEO of the West Wireless Health Institute. "This legislation promises to expedite approval for those novel technologies that are essential to delivering great patient care and lowering the cost of health care delivery across the country."
"CHI strongly supports improvements to remove needless delays in FDA device reviews, leading to a more efficient and rational process," said California Healthcare Institute (CHI) President and CEO David L. Gollaher, Ph.D. "This piece of legislation will allow safe and innovative medical devices to more rapidly reach patients in need. It will also serve to improve a process that is unnecessarily burdensome on device developers and the FDA itself."

Cocaine Cowboys Reloaded
Untold stories about the hurricane of crime brought to South Florida in the 80s
In the 1980s, a new breed of drug dealers hit the shores of Miami, bringing with them prolific violence and cocaine that transformed the once sleepy city into the nerve center of a $20 billion a year drug empire controlled by Colombia's Medellin cartel.
In the first movie Cocaine Cowboys, we heard the escapades of ruthless Colombian cocaine importers who turned Miami into the drug and murder capital of America. But parts of the story were left untold, until now.
Cocaine Cowboys Reloaded is an extended edition of the first documentary revealing hours of additional unseen interviews, archival video footage and stories of key players Griselda Blanco and the Medellín Cartel. You will hear first-hand from the individuals who killed and smuggled for the cartel including hitman Jorge 'Rivi' Ayala, trafficker Jon Roberts, Mickey Munday, plus more.
The documentary recaptures Miami's Cocaine Wars and the extraordinary impact it had on the city once labeled "Paradise Lost" by TIME magazine.

Lately I've been reading a book called "How to win friends and influence people in the digital age" – a modernized version of classic Dale Canegie's best selling book. That's one of the few books that I'd recommend to everyone because it is about one of the most important things that we all have in common – communication.
While reading that book I realized a few principles that I was actually holding on to before that made me more successful in almost everything. Since most of our lives are in some way connected with human interaction, relationships are the key to everything. From the career and finances to our love life – relationships take a huge part in every step we take no matter where we go. People who doesn't realise that struggle in business, building networks of people, finding new friends, making new connections and opportunities and so on.

53rd Congress of the European Regional Science Association: "Regional Integration: Europe, the Mediterranean and the World Economy", 27-31 August 2013, Palermo, Italy
In addition to traditional growth models, 3T (Technology, Talent, Tolerance) approach, initially proposed by Richard Florida, has gained popularity since the beginning of the 21st century in explaining determinants of economic growth and development. This approach emphasizes the important role of technology, talent and tolerance in attracting and retaining diverse people and thereby creating new challenges for economic growth. In our paper, people?s attitudes towards immigrants are considered as proxies of tolerance to ethnically diverse population as possible precondition for future economic growth. Interesting cases for analysing people?s attitudes towards immigrants are provided by two neighbour countries Estonia and Russia ? the countries with post-socialist path-dependence and ethnically diverse population. The share of minorities in the total population is remarkable in both countries ? around one third in Estonia and one fifth in Russia. Thus, these countries have favourable preconditions for economic development as well as threats that due to the weak integration policy, social and political tensions will increase and as a consequence business environment become worse. The paper aims to conduct a comparative analysis of possible determinants of peoples? attitudes towards immigrants in Estonia and Russia mainly focusing on the examining the role of individual?s socio-demographic and economic characteristic in forming their attitudes towards immigrants. The overwhelming aim of the study is to elaborate empirical evidence-based grounds for policy proposals that through favourable business environment can support economic growth and development. The empirical part of the paper relies on information provided in the European Social Survey (ESS) fifth round database and on implementing the methodological framework that includes principal component factor analysis and microeconometric methods. The results of the study show that on average the attitudes towards immigrants are lower in both Estonia and Russia than in the European countries with advanced economies. Estonian peoples? attitudes towards immigrants are somewhat better in all aspects of country?s life ? economy, culture and country as a living place, comparing to Russia. Ethnic minorities, people with higher income and religious people are more tolerant to immigrants in both countries. Unemployed people are less tolerant towards immigrants only in the case of Russia not of Estonia. Surprisingly, better education improves attitudes towards immigrants in Estonia but does not have any statistically significant relation to the attitudes towards immigrants in all monitored aspects ? economy, culture and country as living place in Russia.

I am 71 years old,have several health issues,one of my previous problems was pneumonia and he allowed me to stay at home without proper med for 3 mons. When I first started seeing him I told him I had ibs,a condition causing many hours in bathroom,unable to leave. Now I walk with a walker and need three surgeries. He got rid of me.

Very unfair VERY
I had excellent care with him for over a decade. This review is to say that it saddens me deeply that it became about 'money' and had a small bill that I made as often as I could afford. I was dismissed over money and not much at all I thought he truly cared and felt I and my children were not a number but apparently we were. Very very unjust and build a relationship with a doctor is difficult. Do I feel like he cared yes but boils down to no he really didn't. I paid my copays and one was being paid. My children have to build a new dr as well as I after years of being a good patient I was even told that by a staff member because I wasn't rude or difficult. Comes down to money unless their is some other underlying factor I'm not being told. Extremely unfair and unjust.

Good Dr.
I find Dr. Berliner to be a concerned and caring Dr.I have been going to him for a number of years and find him very professional and straight forward with you.As one reviewer stated, he is careful not to put you on unnecessary meds. and not to order unneeded test. I love the office girls though sometimes preoccupied with work (after all it is their job) I find them to be friendly and most helpful.Instead of a dreaded Dr. visit,going to see Dr. Berliner is like going to see a friendThanks Dr. Berliner, I hope you are in the area for many years to come.

a great doctor and i would recomend him to anyone who needs or wants to change to a different doctor. he is always smiling and treats his patients very good.

November 9th, 2011
If Dr. Berliner is your doctor, don't make any assumptions that you will receive caring and concern in his treatment of you. Don't relinquish any responsibility and decision-making about your diagnosis and treatment to him. Ask frequent questions about his opinion of your status and his plans for your care. Hold him accountable. If there is any chance that you might be incapacitated for decision making either by physical condition or by psychoactive drugs prescribed by him, be sure to have a competent, proactive person available to defend your wishes in making crucial health care decisions about treatment as required by POLST form completion. Be vigilant in assessing your treatment, or find a representative to be vigilant in protecting your welfare.

The best doctor!
I like how he treats me, and how he views medicine in general!He does not do tests that are not needed. He always makes me feel calmer and better, after every visit.

The NEXUS series of sticks is the family in the Bauer stick line-up with a Tru-mid flex profile. If you are a player that is looking for a well-balanced stick with a quick, effortless release with natural power, you should give these a serious look.
The Nexus 8000 is a true one-piece stick which means that through the single molding process, which Bauer refers to as their Monocomp Technology, they can remove excess material all while improving balance and ensuring performance consistency. This is the main reason why this stick is as light as it is. Bauer also uses its exclusive TeXtreme® technology, which is a strong carbon fiber that is 20% lighter than conventional carbon. The eLASTech resin system (reinforcements in the resin that help reduce the spread of micro-fractures) can be found in the senior and intermediate models and helps extend the life of the sticks "pop" while enhancing the overall durability of the stick. The square shaft shape with double-concave walls is preferred among pros, and provides a nice secure grip no matter what shot you are taking. The Nexus 8000 is available in a nice matte finish or with the Griptac finish.
Moving further down the stick, you will find the Nexus Power Taper. Sometimes referred to as the .520 power taper, this means a little more thickness in the hosel of the taper to boost torsional stiffness in order to allow you to maximize the load. Bauer's expanded throat of the Pure Shot Blade Profile also means less torquing and twisting, thus improving accuracy and blade control.
The blade of the Nexus 8000 stick features the Power Sense Core. This energy absorbent core maximizes power and feel for the puck. There is also a lightweight Aero Foam 3 component in the heel that improves balance and core stability. Bauer's SENSE technology is yet another component of the blade core which improves durability, control and shot acceleration. The blade wrap features the same TeXtreme® technology that is used in the shaft and is finished with a light texture to the outer coating. If you are someone who only tapes a portion of the blade, that texture is going to provide an extra bite on the puck.
Natural feel, enhanced durability, and lightweight are what you'll get in this high performance Tru-mid flex Nexus 8000 stick.

I bought two of these right before Christmas and both started to break at the toe around 40-50 days. Now both sticks are broken and I have to spend more money on more bauer sticks. I love bauer but it definitely makes me wonder if they are making these sticks break right after the warranty is up so you go back and buy more. DO NOT BUY THIS STICK.
I do not recommend this stick because at 45 days the toe began to crack along the edges. Bauer will not honor ANY type of breakage or defect beyond 30 days. I enjoyed this stick for about a month but now I am afraid it will continue to break down and eventually break-off at the toe. I am very disappointed that they won't treat this as a manufacturing defect and replace it. Don't make my same mistake.
The warranty policy does not cover any breakages due to misuse or abuse. This policy does not cover wood sticks/shafts/replacement blades, pro stock sticks, or sticks sold by BAUER Hockey's Team Sales Group. For those products, BAUER will not repair the stick/shaft/replacement blade or refund your money. BAUER will not return ship any broken sticks/shafts/replacement blades.
If you believe your stick/shaft/blade meets this criteria, please proceed to http://www.bauer.com/warranty
