She designed and experiment in which students enrolled in a lecture course were asked to choose a discussion group (all meeting at the same time in the same building) based only on the ethnic-racial stereotype associated with the names of the teaching assistant:

The House Government Reform Committee announced yesterday that it had invited several baseball players, including former slugger Jose Canseco, to a March 17 hearing on alleged steroid abuse in Major League Baseball.
"There's a cloud over baseball, and perhaps a public discussion of the issues, with witnesses testifying under oath, can provide a glimpse of sunlight," Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.), the committee chairman, said in a statement released yesterday.
In addition to Canseco -- a former Oakland Athletics outfielder who, in a recent book, claims he used steroids and injected former teammate Mark McGwire as well -- other players invited include current Baltimore Orioles Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmeiro, Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, Yankees slugger Jason Giambi and White Sox designated hitter Frank Thomas.
Commissioner of Baseball Bud Selig, baseball vice president of operations Sandy Alderson, and players' association executive director Don Fehr have also been invited to testify.
Orioles spokesman Bill Stetka said yesterday that he hadn't talked with either Sosa or Palmeiro about the invitation to appear. Neither was with the team yesterday during its spring training opener against the Florida Marlins in Jupiter, Fla.
At Boston's spring training camp in Fort Myers, Fla., Schilling told the Associated Press that the call to testify was news to him and that he will consult with the union.
"We'll see what happens," he said. "I have no idea what it's about."
Canseco alleged in his book that he introduced Palmeiro to steroids. Palmeiro, McGwire and others have denied using performance-enhancing drugs.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported in December that Giambi told a federal grand jury in 2003 that he had used steroids. MLB and the players' association in January agreed to a tougher steroid-testing program in the wake of allegations that Giambi and San Francisco's Barry Bonds were steroid users. Bonds has also denied knowingly taking the drugs.
Yesterday was the first day of testing under baseball's new steroid policy.
Staff writer Jorge Arangure Jr. contributed to this report from Jupiter, Fla.

Towards a holistic view of our agriculture
Judging by media coverage and pronouncements of politicians on either side of the political divide fertilizer subsidy seems to be the pivotal point on which the whole future of our agriculture and the welfare of the peasantry rests. It is not nothing new. Our politicians and even trade union and solidarity organizations have been often concentrated their attention on politically current and rewarding factors rather than taking a holistic view of our agriculture and deciding on policies and priorities for its development, which includes the well-being of the peasant and the agricultural proletariat too. Our attempt here is to raise certain questions answering of which would elucidate the complexity of the issues facing our agriculture and draw attention to the need for a holistic approach to them instead of isolated and piecemeal approaches.
For purposes of developing such a holistic view it is necessary to consider several factors such as climate, land use, technology, human resources. This list, however, is not all inclusive but merely a guide.
Sri Lanka is one of the few countries with abundant rainfall. Yet we have been unable to conserve our water resources and are experiencing alternate spells of flood and drought. Sadly the only remedy that has come to the minds of policymakers has been the commodification of water with disastrous impact on the livelihood of the peasantry. Large sums are spent on flood relief and drought relief which could be avoided by judicious water management and irrigation development.
The contamination of ground water has made water purification and distribution of potable water a costly exercise. Rainwater harvesting though viable is yet almost untouched. Large scale de-forestation and introduction of alien species of flora on pecuniary interests and misguided foreign advice have damaged the ecological balance. In addition global warming and other global climate change phenomena too affect or weather patterns which have to be considered in developing our agriculture.
Private sector
The extent of land available for agriculture is dwindling except for those that were abandoned during the war. Growth of human settlements and development activities as well as urbanization tends to shrink it further. Hence it is impossible to provide every family with a plot of land as some politicians promise. The way out is to develop intensive farming.
This requires the uplift of productivity of labour both in subsistence agriculture and in plantations. An impediment to the improvement of productivity is the inability to mechanize subsistence farming due to the small size of the land plots. The only remedy that has been so far practised is the selling of state land in considerable extent for commercial agriculture to the private sector. It is necessary to look into cooperative forms of collectivization with the assistance of farmer organizations so that the peasants; right to land is safeguarded.
Much also depends on the development of R & D. The prolific use of chemical fertilizers through several decades, especially encouraged by the fertilizer subsidy has degraded the soil and is supposed to have contaminated ground water in the NCP and other areas which has resulted in the appearance of a yet unidentified chronic kidney disease among the population. This makes it imperative to revert to organic farming practices. It is also necessary to develop seed and crop varieties that are best suited to such farming as well as climatic and weather conditions prevailing in the country. Use could also be made of traditional knowledge in many aspects including the preservation of harvested crops. Another impediment to the development of agriculture is the low technological base.
Scientific planning in agriculture
However, care should be taken in introducing foreign technologies without verifying their suitability for local conditions. For example, four wheel tractors were imported for farming during the 1970s and it soon became apparent that our paddy fields were too small for them to be operated profitably so that they were used for transport purposes with its concomitant hazards. It took a long time for us to realize the viability of the single-wheel and two-wheel tractors. Introduction of new technology as well as the application of information technology would not only improve productivity but also attract youth into agriculture. It could generate new ago-industries which could absorb unemployed rural labour. There is much potential in this sphere, especially if one opts for production of value-added agricultural products.
There is a strong need for scientific planning in agriculture. Production is almost entirely dependent of market factors but there is a serious lack of market information. The alternate glut and abundance in the vegetable market is not only a result of alternating weather but also a reflection of the operation of blind forces that do not take into consideration the size of the market.
Sri Lanka is an agricultural country. Majority of the population depends mainly on agriculture for their livelihood. Hence no development would be complete unless it could guarantee a fair living standard for the peasantry and the numerous agricultural proletariat. Unfortunately agricultural practices themselves has caused significant health hazards among the peasantry. Nor can they make ends meet by farming which requires high-priced inputs and produces low-priced output. Multinational corporations have a monopoly of the pesticide and weedicide trade as well as of seed production.
World Trade Organization rules benefit not the indigenous farmer but the foreign monopolies and a sustained struggle is in the offing in the Third World.
Among the agricultural proletariat a significant component comprise plantation workers who live in abject poverty with worse living conditions and wages below decent subsistence level. They are denied much rights that are enjoyed by other sectors of the working class. Though they represent one of the earliest entrees to the working class they still suffer from archaic pre-capitalist relations of production that are mixed with capitalist relations.
The above questions need attention of economists, agronomists and politicians. It is high time they approached agriculture in a holistic manner.

Sales grew 2.9 percent year-on-year to a record $7.8 billion. Organic local-currency sales grew 2.3 percent and acquisitions added 1.9 percent to sales. Currency impacts reduced sales by 1.3 percent year-on-year. Operating income was $1.7 billion and operating income margins for the quarter were 22.0 percent. Second-quarter net income was $1.2 billion and free cash flow was $1.3 billion. The company paid $436 million in cash dividends to shareholders and repurchased $1.2 billion of its own shares during the quarter. Organic local-currency sales growth was 5.7 percent in Health Care, 3.3 percent in Industrial, 2.9 percent in Consumer and 2.0 percent in Safety and Graphics; Electronics and Energy declined 2.1 percent year-on-year. On a geographic basis, organic local-currency sales grew 8.5 percent in Latin America/Canada, 2.2 percent in Asia Pacific, 1.9 percent in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and 0.8 percent in the U.S. "This was a good quarter for 3M, with strong performances across the portfolio," said Inge G. Thulin, 3M's chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Four of our five business segments achieved positive organic growth and posted operating margins above 21 percent. We converted 107 percent of net income to free cash flow in the quarter, which fueled ongoing investment in the business and allowed for significant cash returned to shareholders. Our employees executed well in the face of continued slow economic growth." 3M reiterated its 2013 full-year performance expectations. The company anticipates 2013 earnings to be in the range of $6.60 to $6.85 per share with organic local-currency sales growth of 2 to 5 percent. 3M continues to expect free cash flow conversion will be in the range of 90 to 100 percent. In addition, the company now expects full-year gross share repurchases will be in the range of $3.5 billion to $4.5 billion versus a previous range of $2 billion to $3 billion.

In my comic she change hairstyle to forget her past physically too, her hairs were connected with her masks (stadfteld and kozuki).
Then she cut a very short hair look for don't recon the old herself on the mirror and for grow them long after.
At last more characters(in the comic) like Kallen with long hairs, she show her femininity and to be a splendid woman if she want.

Yeah, I was able to recognize that as being her reasoning for changing her hairstyle in your comic. As I said, I do like the style and you do pull it off splendidly as an artist.
The thing is, while I like the in change your story, as it happens in the "epilogue" and thus symbolizes Kallen's growth after the main series from a still "broken" child into a complete and well adjusted adult, I am more apprehensive to the change as it is displayed in Megiddo.
In the case of Megiddo, while some of it is indeed merely aesthetics, it is more a symbolic thing as the change seems to emphasize to the audience just how much we have missed of Kallen's growth and, to me, makes her feel a bit too "alien."
As well, the spikes seemed to symbolize her attitude and ties to Japan and her identity as a Japanese person, and I don't see her as losing them until she believes she no longer needs to fight and can in effect establish an identity for herself outside of combat. In the Birthday Picture Drama, she seems to have taken something of an inbetween hairstyle with her keeping the spikes, but having them droop slightly, as though accepting both sides of herself, though that is likely just me reading WAY too much into it.
Also, since you're likely to read this WZA, I want to apologize for sounding like a whiny #@%&.
Keep up the good work, both of you.

For some reason, this teacher reminds me of Yumiko Readman from Read or Die, only with shorter hair. Overall she's an interesting addition to the current life story of the Shallon family, though I wonder if she will come to realize just who the "Shallons" really are later. I also loved the shot of the agitated Kallen; you once more brought out her "protective" expression to the best detail. She really looked like she was about to rip Modesty (interesting name) a few new ones if she said the wrong word. Break the breadstick, lol.
Beyond that, though I did get a laugh out of it, I don't think Charles would have been bothered about Britannia's change from a full Empire. If anything I think he would have been happy to see the peaceful world Lelouch and Nunnally were able to make; even though Ragnarok failed, the result Charles' wanted was still achieved. Not sure how he would take Lelouch marrying Kallen, though I'd like to think he would be content that his son was able to find a new life for himself.

I know, but in the anime, for Charles, Lelouch was just "trash", a little test animal to use for commodity.
Then, if the "trash" defeat you, kill you and ruin everything you did....oh well, to be happy isn't very easy.
About the fact people don't recognize them....
Kallen's face was knew just in the britannian army fought in Japan, no the other garrisons in the world, then the civilian people in Britannia don't know her.
For Lelouch, he started to have serious contact with other people when he was 24 years old, then more years are passed, he changed physically, the long hairs and the scars in the face did the rest.

It's simple, Kallen wanted another girl to give her the name Elizabeth, like homage to C.C.
But the third was a male, then Nicholas is just generic name, Kallen will not have peace until she will not have another female.
Elizabeth will born in 2030, next appendix.

The whole scene where he disregards Marianne's "murder" in flashbacks, was merely him acting like he didn't care about his children so that V.V. and other nobles wouldn't think that they were loved ones who could be used against Charles. It is somewhat similar to what Lelouch does with Kallen in Turns 19 and 22.
Similarly, Charles did not approve of the Britannian system, as his discussions with Bismarck, marriage to Marianne (a commoner), and the very nature of Ragnarok demonstrated.
This isn't to say Charles would have to be accepting of everything that happened after Ragnarok was thwarted in that he may earnestly believe that Ragnarok was the only true solution to world peace, and that Lelouch and Nunally's actions are merely delaying the inevitable.
Having said this, I find myself actually interested in the idea of a scene with Lelouch and possibly Kallen sharing a dream where they meet Charles' ghost and some measure of reconciliation occurs.
As for names, I would have thought Nicholas would be named Rolo, given that Lelouch genuinely accepted the original Rolo as a brother in the end.
On the comic itself I'll mostly parrot WZA: awesome as always, Nicholas was adorable, and I also enjoyed Kallen almost going into "Momma Bear" mode.

Yeah, I felt like the whole "forgiving Rolo" thing was a colossal slap in the face as well, but in the anime at least, Lelouch did acknowledge Rolo as his brother in the end and this is only further emphasized in that weird dream(?) Picture Drama with Nunally saying that they would have gotten along well.
I'm no culture expert, but I guess the Japanese put much more emphasis on the idea that a person sacrificing their life for something can absolve themselves of nearly any crimes they committed.
Still, it's your story and if you want to illustrate Rolo agonizing in the afterlife over Kallen stealing "his" ni-san, then I certainly won't stop you

Well, I always considered that "sacrifical spirit" a very annoyed japan tradition, there're some example in the real life too, but...that's a japan "honor code", Lelouch, Rolo etc...are west people, they think like japanese because the anime writers are japanese.
The last picture drama in my opinion is a half idiocy, all the character "dreamed" that situation at ashford thanks to C.C, just to understand each other and what Lelouch and the other did for them.
But in this way, everybody know the truth about what Lelouch did, a secret nobody had to know, but not a word about more other truth.
In fact, at last that "adventure" result was good for two people, but negative for other two.
Like the fact to remember a person for the good things he/she did ,after his/her death, is a common tradition, also the dead person was the worst asshole in the world.

Hey Bonzo,
Your latest short story was a nice way to introduce a new character (and a new friend for Lelouch's children). I wouldn't be surprised if she turned out to be an agent of your new OVA's antagonist(s), though, and tried to hold the children hostage during some crucial moment, or if she was sent by those same antagonists to confirm "Adam's" and "Karen's" identities through DNA analysis or the like, such as by stealing hairs from a hairbrush or blood from a handkerchief/tissue paper.
And yes, the old Japanese emphasis on "suicide as sacrifice" to absolve one's crimes is pretty silly, since it's even prescribed for something like "insulting your lord" or "failing him in whatever way he says." The "speak naught but good of the dead" is also silly as well, since it can blind us to how the person really was in life.

Also, I saw the images of Kallen and Lelouch you did for Megiddo. Good work as always on both of them. Something about Lelouch's expression is just really interesting, and you got his overall physical build in a way that seems to both imply his better build in the story, but also keeps him nicely familiar.

And as for Schneizel, I won't spoil anything, but after the Devastation and onward, I doubt anyone will think highly of him (or the rest of the current Britannian rulership for that matter) when he's gone.

Impurity profiling is the common name of a group of analytical activities, the aim of which is the detection, identification/structure elucidation and quantitative determination of organic and inorganic impurities, as well as residual solvents in bulk drugs and pharmaceutical formulations. Since this is the best way to characterise the quality and stability of bulk drugs and pharmaceutical formulations, this is the core activity in modern drug analysis.
Due to the very rapid development of the analytical methodologies available for this purpose and the similarly rapid increase of the demands as regards the purity of drugs it is an important task to give a summary of the problems and the various possibilities offered by modern analytical chemistry for their solution. That is the aim of this book.
The book is methodology-oriented. In the first chapter some important aspects of the background of impurity-related analytical studies (toxicological, pharmacopoeial aspects, the characterisation of the sources of impurities and the role of impurity profiling in various fields of drug research, production and therapeutic use) are summarised. Chapter two deals with related organic impurities, the strategies for impurity profiling, the use of chromatographic and related separation methods, spectroscopic, and hyphenated techniques. The subject of the third chapter is the identification and determination of residual solvents. The determination of inorganic impurities is discussed in chapter four. The special problems of degradation products as impurities are dealt with in chapter five. A separate chapter has been compiled to deal with one of the most up-to-date problems in contemporary pharmaceutical analysis, the estimation of enantiomeric purity of chiral drugs. Chapter seven is devoted to various approaches to solve the problem of polymorphic modifications as impurities. Since in the broader sense of the word the microbiological purity of drugs and drug products also belongs to this circle, the most important information from this field is summarised in chapter eight. After the mainly methodology-oriented chapters, the final one concentrates on four groups of drugs (peptides, biotechnological products, antibiotics and steroids) in order to demonstrate the use of the methods described earlier.

Construction robots are mainly used for basic tasks in building construction and civil engineering projects. These tasks include concreting, building, connecting, attaching, coating, covering, jointing, positioning, finishing, demolishing, drilling, tunneling, and earthmoving, scaffolding, inspecting, and repairing elements.
Construction robots improve productivity, quality of end-products; reduce manual operations, leading to fewer errors; shorten construction time; reduce costs; and increase safety in hazardous working environments. The productivity of the construction robots is high when the construction materials are standardized and work processes are repeated. These robots were introduced in 1980s to improve working conditions and enhance productivity and work efficiency. However, the diffusion of robots was slow and the technological progress was low compared to its manufacturing counterparts.
Key players in the global construction robots market: Brokk, Fujita, and ULC Robotics.
Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: Construction robotics, Hanool robotics, Skanska, Taisei, and Shimizu.
Further, the report states that construction companies worldwide are hesitant to implement automation and robots in the construction industry because of high initial cost, need for greater financial investment in R&D, and risks associated with the implementation of these technologies in construction sites.

In an effort to tackle the skyrocketing costs of one of Louisiana's most high-profile giveaway programs, two New Orleans-area lawmakers have drafted legislation that would cap costs and eliminate certain expenses now subsidized under the state's generous film tax credit program.
The biggest changes would be setting a $300 million limit on the program's annual cost, with any unused dollars being added to the next year's allotment, and imposing a cap on the proportion of so-called "above-the-line" spending that Louisiana taxpayers will subsidize on any particular film. Such spending typically involves the fees paid to actors, directors and other "talent," and critics have complained that the state reaps little benefit from picking up 30 percent of those costs, as current law allows. The legislative session begins April 13.
While the proposed changes, outlined in two separate bills authored by state Sen. J.P. Morrell, D-New Orleans, and state Rep. Julie Stokes, R-Kenner, are aimed at making the film program more efficient, longtime critics of the program called the changes timid and said they would do little if anything to control the program's spiraling costs and improve its questionable returns.
To reach the $300 million proposed annual cap on tax credits, for instance, would require substantial growth of the program, which has never issued more than $251 million worth of credits in a single year. Even at that level, Louisiana has become the nation's busiest locale for feature filmmaking.
Jan Moller, director of the left-leaning Louisiana Budget Project and a vocal critic of the film program, praised various aspects of the proposed legislation but called a $300 million cap "laughable."
"That doesn't come close to controlling the cost, which is the real problem with this program — what it's costing the state," Moller said. "And it's especially problematic the way they want to roll it over, so if you have a couple of soft years, the cap would be so high that it would be utterly meaningless. Unless you can control the costs, the rest doesn't really matter that much."
Sherri McConnell, who oversaw the state's entertainment programs for years and now serves on a panel recommending changes to them, was more charitable.
"I think the idea of a cap is a very good one," she said. "I think it is fiscally responsible of the state; it gives them some predictability when budgeting. The size of the cap is probably where a lot of the debate will take place."
Stokes said she "would be willing to explore a lower cap" and emphasized the draft legislation was just a starting point for discussions.
While many critics have questioned Louisiana's generous subsidy of above-the-line spending, Moller, McConnell and others wondered whether the proposed changes strike at the heart of the problem. The critique of subsidizing high fees to actors, directors and others — which can reach $10 million or $20 million in some cases — is that those fees typically aren't recirculated into the economy because the actors and directors live elsewhere.
And even when a film features a well-known star, it's rare for the film's above-the-line costs to exceed 50 percent. The threshold typically is reached only when a famous actor makes a relatively low-cost film, which makes the outsized salary a bigger portion of the overall pie.
The real question for policymakers, Moller said, is whether it makes sense for Louisiana to cover 30 percent of an actor's $10 million fee, regardless of how much the overall film cost.
Morrell disputes that, saying that setting a cap on individual fees would drive much of the industry out of the state. He said that his proposed solution would likely mean that Louisiana would only lose films such as Nicolas Cage's "Left Behind," in which the actor's fee alone accounted for more than half the film's budget — a film Morrell would have been happy to see made elsewhere.
Moller countered that he'd rather see the state limit its subsidy to 30 percent of an actor's first $1 million in fees on a particular project, as the Jindal administration proposed two years ago.
State-sponsored studies have found that Louisiana taxpayers get less than 25 cents back in tax money for every $1 they invest in the film program, and films with high above-the-line costs are generally seen as the worst offenders.
Under Morrell's proposal, the state also would end its practice of paying for airfare, insurance premiums, bond fees and other costs that often go to out-of-state companies and offer little benefit to Louisiana taxpayers.
As for the size of the cap, Morrell said that having a cap would be an important start, noting that none of the state's various tax-credit programs currently have a cap. While the size of the cap will certainly be debated, Morrell said it would give the program more predictability and would allow room for modest growth.
"At least this puts us in a position where we know the worst-case scenario," he said.
The proposals will be discussed at the next meeting of the Entertainment Industry Development Advisory Commission, set for Wednesday in Baton Rouge. Morrell chairs the panel, and Stokes is a member. Morrell said it appears the proposed legislation has attracted criticism from both proponents and opponents of the film program, and he predicted a rollicking debate.
Apart from the new caps they would set, the draft bills authored by Morrell and Stokes attempt to tighten the program's regulation in ways mostly welcomed by the program's critics.
Another provision of the proposed legislation would allow those receiving film tax credits to cash them in to the state for 90 cents on the dollar; currently, the state pays 85 cents on the dollar. The recipients of the tax credits — typically corporations with no tax liability — may also sell the credits to people who do have tax obligations.
That change would likely dry up much of the market for such sales, and thus might save the state some money. When recipients return the credits to the state, the net cost to the state falls by 10 percent, under the terms of the new bills.
The proposed reforms also attempt to improve the auditing of film expenses, often cited as a weakness in the program and an invitation to fraud.
Under current law, the filmmakers seeking the credits hire the auditor, leading to questions about the auditor's independence. Morrell's bill would have the auditor instead be engaged by the state's Economic Development Department, which ultimately issues the credits.
And the bills also aim to improve the scrutiny of so-called "related-party transactions" — payments that filmmakers make to themselves or to companies controlled by them or others financing the film. Because such payments are subsidized by the state, they can invite corruption, and a number of the fraud cases the program has spawned have involved such payments.
The legislation would call for an audit by the state Office of Inspector General any time filmmakers report making any related-party transactions. It also would set a limit — 12 percent of a film's overall cost — on the amount of such transactions that could be eligible for subsidy.

Our continuing series on the rank and file and thought leaders who make us proud of our vocation. Dan Harris is a worthy role model to spotlight. He is modest, – truly uneffected by each of his successes, suffice to say it is because his inner core is driven by a certain, most unique love for his profession in life. It is comparable to a professional football player remembering the first time he held a pigskin in his grip or a baseball player recalling that warm summer afternoon as a youth playing catch with his dad. It is a sincere passion, a bliss few of us can maintain given our daily chores, and it is for that reason, that Dan Harris is respected and admired by his peers – his focus and drive being all the more infectious to us all. Today we continue our discussion from the trenches in this War for Talent.
Six Degrees: How many applicants at your present employer do you estimate are hired from your corporate website as compared to how many are hired through referrals?
Daniel: While I won't give an exact number, I will state we have a higher percent of employee referrals that are hired and come onboard vs through our corporate website but its almost equal I would say.
Six Degrees: What is the source of the "Most Hires" collected from at your present employer? (In terms of Quantity #)
Daniel: Employee Referrals and directly through our Company Website are representative of our highest quantity hires. Both are about equal.
Six Degrees: What is the source of your "LOWEST COST OF HIRES" – (least amount of invested resources for the easiest hires, regardless of quality) at your present employer?
Daniel: Employee Referrals and Internal mobility.
Six Degrees: What talent niche groups do you target and are these particular talent areas specialized under your review?
Daniel: One of my focuses is building out a talent pipeline of information security specialists usually designated with CISSP or GIAC. Also look for engineers to developers with an understanding and knowledge of SSL and PKI. These specialized folks are usually very talented security professionals and hold a CISSP or GIAC certification. VeriSign is currently moving back to focusing solely on its core successful functions of Naming (VeriSign owns all .com and .net domains), Web certificates (SSL), and its Identity Protection Program. VeriSign is the checkmark symbol you will usually see on the checkout page when you ready to finally order something online.
Six Degrees: What types of training in sourcing/recruitment are available to you and have you taken advantage of?
Daniel: Well, I recently attended Sourcecon in Sept 2007 which VeriSign assisted and allowed me to go. I also usually try and attend great webinars given by Humancapitalinstitute.org. I also look at ERE.net to taking Shally Steckerl's Jobmachine, Inc. webinars. We also have a monthly brown bag luncheon onsite/phone which we share best practices and recruiting strategies with the VeriSign Recruiting team and a weekly research call with my manager, James Collins.
Six Degrees: What recruitment software tools do you use in your day to day recruitment activities & do they translate effectively within all of the different countries where you recruit?
Daniel: I would say my biggest three tools I use everyday are jigsaw, spoke, and linkedin. There are some other tools I am itching to get but for now I must use these.
Six Degrees: What tools (technology or old school file folder, for example) did you first encounter early in your recruitment career?
Daniel: I was originally trained via telephone methods while at HTC Research. I then started using the internet more and found search engines like Yahoo, Dogpile, or Google helpful.
Six Degrees: How did your expectations of being a recruiter compare to the actual, first time you got on the phone or in the cubicle? To this day would you say people's assumptions about our vocation differ from reality?
Daniel: Found it pretty exciting and challenging at the same time. The expectations and what I thought I would be doing was extremely hard but I was able to reinvent myself by a combination of using both the phone and the internet. While I had a lot of personal interaction while working retail before I found a lot of my skill sets I learned did carry over but still had to work and learn at recruiting, specifically the biggest being just really understanding the job and what the hiring manager was looking for.
Six Degrees: Worst mistake, biggest goof, lousiest practice you thought would fly but didn't…and how that was a learning experience?
Daniel: Ha ha! I've made so many and learned a lot. I can't say I could single out any single practice in my mind this moment. However, One point I would say the you can't really start a job without first really understanding it and knowing what your looking for and requirements.
Six Degrees: How do you personally expect to facilitate change within our industry, and/or at your place of work? If you started that process, outline the problem, your solutions, and the vision.
Daniel: Its starts with me! I openly share my research/sourcing knowledge with my coworkers and friends I have in recruiting. I believe in sharing knowledge and skills as it comes 100x back. I think the biggest differentiator is that I do feel confident in the work quality/quantity I can produce, how I think and can best bring value and talent into a top organization. I believe the YOU can be the biggest component in your success along with meeting and surrounding yourself with the right people/talent and knowledge along the way. Continually Learning and I never give up plus I love the thrill of hunting talent and winning.
Six Degrees: "Best practice†you are most proud of developing (now or in the past) in your recruiting career?
Daniel: Striving to Be My Best everyday. Continually learning and improving. Understanding the position, having focus and then taking the right actions to get the results I need.
Six Degrees: What are some of the frustrating aspects/obstacles to your day to day as a staffing professional and in general?
Daniel: The biggest obstacle I still face internally sometimes is when hiring manager(s) or certain upper management within companies doesn't understand the challenges that sourcer/researchers go through in the recruiting process. Sometimes the hiring manager needs coaching and understanding on what is realistic (both in timetable to the multi-faceted skill level candidates the hiring manager is wanting).
Six Degrees: What are the most common themes of strategic and/or tactical mishaps involving past or present HR/Staffing org?
Daniel: Maybe an HR Business Partner or Upper Management at many companies that don't have a fully understanding grasp of what research/sourcing can do within their staffing organization (not to mention help possibly impact marketing, sales, and Competitive Intelligence).
Six Degrees: Considering all of the frustrations you have experienced in your career as a recruiter, — what inspires you as you continue in your career?
Daniel: People Do! What motivates me everyday is People. I truly want to help impact and make a difference in their lives. Yes, while I do acknowledge I reach out and connect to passive talent mostly, I really do want to make a positive impact and create that great win/win in their career and financially for their families.
Six Degrees: What one thing do you ideally hope to implement that hasn't been done before?
Daniel: I would like to take part in implementing some online marketing/branding efforts which combines my sourcing pipeline efforts here at VeriSign to create even better branding and company awareness. Basically encompassing pipelines to create more awareness, referrals, and passive/active candidates into the future.
Six Degrees: Anything you want to plug?
Daniel: Well, I love to make great connections on linkedin so I can be found there …
Six Degrees: How Are You Going To Change The Recruitment Industry?
Daniel: This feels like a Pinky and the Brain question! I will endeavor to get research and sourcing more well known and understood function within industry organizations.

Congratulations, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones! The Oscar winners celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary on Wednesday.
"Happy Anniversary dearest Michael!" Zeta-Jones, 46, wrote on Facebook. "Loving our life together, here's to the next 15!"
"15 years ago and today," Douglas, 71, wrote, sharing photos of the couple then and now. "Happy Anniversary Catherine!"
Even though they are a match made in Hollywood, the celebrity couple chooses to live in Westchester. The parents of Dylan, 15, and Carys, 12, own a stately mansion on a 13.2-acre property within the Guard Hill estate neighborhood of Bedford.
Like most couples, Douglas and Zeta-Jones have had their share of ups and downs. They separated in 2013 and reunited later that year.
"When you are younger, you care what other people think. And you take the person closest to you for granted," Douglas told The Sun in 2014. "You waste a lot of energy on strangers to make a good impression. When you're older, you focus that energy on the people closest to you, on your family."
"First you have to admit that you made a mistake, then dealing with it is easy," he said.

When and where to validate JR pass
Just trying to clarify when to validate our pass: our itinuary goes like this: we arrive at Haneda airport Sep. 15 and flying to Hiroshima the same day, we know we can only use the pass for seven day and so we want to start using it Sep 17 . Do we have to validate it right away when we arrive in Tokyo or not till we leave Hiroshima for Kobe on the 17th? Thanks for the help!
Regarding your use of the pass, you give no info on your itinerary, so it is unclear if even buying a pass is suitable for you or not. The cost of regular rail fare should exceed the cost of the pass during the same time period.
You can see regular fares and schedules on Hyperdia.
Best of luck.
We are going from Hiroshima to Kobe , then kyoto and the to tokyo. Looks like we are breaking even. As we can use it a bit in tokyo as well. Thanks for your help, Dave and Vishy
No trouble - enjoy your trip. You could always increase your savings with some day trips. Since you are going to be in the Hiroshima area, there are many places you could try if you have time.
Besides all that, north of Tokyo there is also Nikko, which is a great day trip.
You should be able to see a large variety of interesting places.
Best of luck.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/4/2012 (1955 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I am always happy to see the arrival of spring in Winnipeg. After the streets are cleaned the race towards summer will really begin.
As I write this, I'm psyched to begin commuting to work by bike. For me, it's about a 10-kilometre ride to work. I find it to be a great way to get the blood flowing in the morning (though it will never completely replace my morning coffee). I know people who have already switched from the bus or car to two-wheeled mode, and some have even rode through most of our mild winter.
In the northeast section of the city, we are very fortunate to have many options for active transportation. Whether going for a walk, a jog, or a bike ride, there are many paths and trails available that are well-separated from automobile traffic. Cycling is a lot more enjoyable (not to mention a lot less deadly) when you don't have to contend with hurried drivers, many of whom don't like sharing the road with cyclists.
One excellent tool for planning bike trips is Google Maps. Did you know that it has a special bike route planning mode? You start by clicking the 'Get Directions' tab and enter the address of your starting point and your destination, just as you would if you were getting directions for a motor-vehicle trip. Then, click the tab showing a person on a bicycle, and voilà — you have a nicely mapped bike route! It doesn't always work perfectly, but it usually correctly uses the major bike paths in Winnipeg.
One excellent path in this end of town is the Northeast Pioneers Greenway, which is a multi-use pathway between Gateway Road and Raleigh Street. A new pedestrian/cyclist bridge over Chief Peguis at Raleigh was built as part of the recently completed Chief Peguis Trail extension project. It allows people to use the trail to the north to cycle about three-quarters of the way downtown without riding on any roads. The trail currently extends north to McIvor, and plans are in the works to extend it north of the Perimeter Highway into East St. Paul.
I know people who have been ticketed for cycling on the sidewalk, over narrow bridges and other areas where it is much safer to stay off the road. I don't think it is unreasonable for cyclists to use the sidewalk where it is the only safe option — provided they are considerate around pedestrians and yield to motorists.
On the city's active transportation trails, people run, walk with dogs, skateboard, in-line skating and cycle. They are all able to share the paths with no problems. While some roads have designated bike lanes and diamond lanes, other roads are totally unsafe for cycling. I believe cyclists should always choose the route that makes safety the number one priority.
I hope that the cycling and other active transportation options continue to be improved in our city. Let's hope this wonderful unseasonable weather continues so we can enjoy riding!

Heat president Pat Riley remembered calling the team's owner and saying they had a chance at acquiring a "once-in-a-lifetime player" who was strong, fast and agile, could score, run, dunk and laugh, was charismatic and a global icon, and wears a size-22 sneaker.
(Owner) Micky Arison asked if Riley was serious about the Heat obtaining (Shaquille) O'Neal; Riley said he was and recalled how Arison began screaming with joy.
While O'Neal said he was on the "downslide of his career," Riley noted that the team wouldn't have won the title without him and that the star center "changed our franchise."
