If you follow my blog (and I sure hope you do) – you know that I do like to use "fun foam or foam sheets" to add dimension to my cards and today you can see thst i used it with the sentiment….I personally LOVE the look and feel it gives!
How can you go wrong…the image of the "sun" with the word "sunshine"…to me – that is the best type of kindness that you could give! This would be an easy card to "mass produce" and you know me, I love making multiple cards when I sit down to have fun!

What is your design philosophy when it comes to color classics and/or color chaos?
Trish Wescoat Pound, Haute Hippie creative director and founder, is a firm believer in having a classic button-down blouse in Antique Ivoire or Black so that the customer always has a go-to styling piece – every woman can wear it. However, Trish also loves a bit of color chaos and combinations including the mix of light shades like Vintage Rose, Matte Gold and Antique Ivoire with dark hues of Fig, Rusty Nail and Dark Military.

Updated on August 29, 2019
Sony recognizes the increasing importance of global companies' responsibility to manage their supply chains responsibly as diligent members of society and is taking a variety of steps to structure a responsible supply chain. Sony works with its suppliers to address issues such as human rights, labor conditions, health and safety, and environmental protection throughout its supply chain.
The Sony supply chain stretches across the entire globe. As of August 2019, the Group has its own electronics manufacturing facilities in Japan, China, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, the UK, and Brazil. In fiscal 2018, the value of transactions with parts suppliers and OEM/ODM suppliers by geographic area was as follows: China (43.2%), Japan (22.7%), Asia-Pacific (17.7%), Europe (9.5%), the US (0.5%), and other areas (6.4%)
In recent years, stakeholders have become increasingly concerned about manufacturers' responsibilities in relation to the product supply chain, including issues related to human rights, labor conditions, health and safety, and environmental protection, not only at their own production sites, but also at the production sites of subcontractors and parts suppliers. Conduct at Sony production sites is guided by the code issued by the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA*1), which Sony joined when the alliance was established in 2004. All Sony electronics manufacturing sites are involved in ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with the RBA Code of Conduct, which represents industry best practices. Recognizing that parts suppliers, subcontractors in design and production, and other partner firms are all involved in the production of Sony products, and seeing the need to address these issues within a framework that meets Sony's standards, in 2005 Sony established the Sony Supplier Code of Conduct, based on the RBA Code of Conduct.
To enhance its CSR management in the supply chain, in 2016 Sony replaced the Sony Supplier Code of Conduct with the Sony Supply Chain Code of Conduct. The new code adopts the RBA Code of Conduct to govern all manufacturing processes at both Sony's own electronics manufacturing sites and those of its suppliers. The RBA Code of Conduct was updated from Version 5.1 to the current Version 6.0 effective January 1, 2018. Accordingly, the Sony Supply Chain Code of Conduct was updated to Version 2 to adhere to the changes in the RBA Code of Conduct.
Compliance with the Sony Supply Chain Code of Conduct is included in supplier contracts. As part of the requirements under this Code of Conduct, Sony asks that its suppliers comply with items required in its Green Partner Environmental Quality Approval Program and the Sony Group Policy for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals.

At Sony, CSR and compliance groups at the head office and Sony Global Manufacturing & Operations Corporation (SGMO) take the lead in promoting responsible sourcing activities in cooperation with other related head office divisions, business groups and relevant functions at manufacturing sites. Under the supervision of the Senior Executive Officer in charge of CSR, the Sony CSR group at the head office assesses external trends and communicates with stakeholders, drawing on both to formulate basic company-wide supply chain management policy. The Senior Executive Officer in charge of Production and Procurement and the Senior Executive Officers in charge of each business unit appoint managers responsible for implementing the Rules in relevant areas and set up administrative offices. The administrative offices are responsible for the general execution of the Operational Rules for the Sony Supply Chain Code of Conduct, which includes ensuring compliance with the Code at electronics manufacturing sites both at Sony and its suppliers, conducting risk assessments and regular monitoring, and implementing necessary improvements. The offices are also working to provide training opportunities to build the capacity of those involved with Sony and its suppliers.
In cases where assessments or external sources indicate any possibility of violations of the Sony Supply Chain Code of Conduct or a material legal violation, or in cases where the supplier does not provide adequate cooperation with assessments and audits, the managers responsible for implementing the Rules work together with the CSR and compliance groups at the head office to determine the facts and take action deemed necessary, and the situation is immediately reported to the relevant manufacturing site or the Senior Executive Officer in charge of the business unit engaged with that supplier.

Securing Puppet
I'm using Puppet's Environments to separate out domains of control. Each Environment is cloned from Git repository and starts out with our basic configuration, but each IT group needs the ability to add their own configuration which includes sensitive data that should not be exposed to other groups.
The problem is that Puppet uses x509 certificates to handle identify and authentication very well. But authorization for specific environments is not present. So, once one IT team sets up a Puppet client in their environment, there's nothing to stop them from pointing at a different environment and potentially acquiring another group's sensitive data. Puppet's interface is a RESTful API so if you can figure the location of a configuration file its not hard to use the curl utility to fetch it.
I'm using Passenger via Nginx to run the Puppet Master in production. I've recently been growing fond of Ruby and Rack. Thanks to Google, I found the following presentation for securing and extending Puppet that lead me to learning more about Rack and how to shim in some of my own middleware.
I starting modifying my
config.ru file to implement authorization
(with a Z) for environments. The Puppet REST API always starts out with
the environment and makes it easy to use a regular expression to grab.
I have a database of each machine what what access they should have. So
I have all the information to determine if you are authorized for a
specific environment and now the place to code that in.
This does depend on my Puppet certnames being of the form FQDN-UUID.
Where the UUID is a unique identifier given to each machine. Makes it
very handy to find things in the database. Below is my
config.ru for
my Puppet Master. I hope it might inspire others to extend Puppet for
their own needs.

Wordless Wednesday Wish I could crochet!
(A few words: It's probably not a good idea to get the Lion's Brand Newsletter if yarn makes you all thumbs like me. I am instantly happy when I see things like this...then suddenly sad that I lack the necessary skills.)

Don't Feel Bad. I love this kind of thing as well. However there is no way I can do this. I know because my Gramma has spent many years trying to teach me how to crochet. I can't even do one of those string things.ReplyDelete
Oh how I understand! I can't knit or crochet to save my life, but my friends can and they post pictures of the most gorgeous things. I'm so jealous of the cute things they can make. One of these years, I'll learn to knit and crochet so I won't feel so left out. Either that or one of my kids will master it and make this stuff for me. :-)ReplyDelete
Hi! I am a new follower from the Boo Hop!:-)ReplyDelete
That is so cute! I love to crochet! Just give yourself some time and don't rush through it & you will be able to pick it up. Once you learn a couple of basic stitches, it's easy! Look on youtube for tutorials! :-)
Please feel free to stop by my blog, and follow if you wish at http://smartcentsreview.blogspot.com/
I so wish I had the patience to do something like that. And the time!!!ReplyDelete
I know how to crochet, but it's very straight forward stuff. No fancy stitches.ReplyDelete
Knitting needles scare me!
That is too cute! Give me paint or a glue gun and I can be quite crafty, but I completely suck at sewing, crochet, and knitting.ReplyDelete

Telemedicine to save lives of chronic patients
<![CDATA[Telemedicine, the fast emerging remote healthcare monitoring system is providing more comfort and convenience to chronic patients which is life saving. Chronic illness like blood pressure, diabetes, asthma etc. can be treated from home after few initial one clinic visits. Chronic patients need a regular follow up and if this can be provided within the home comfort, nothing can be better than that.
Imagine the situation of travelling to a clinic in bad weather conditions to see your doctor as per appointment. If you miss, you may have to wait for weeks and the condition may worsen. Think of the plight of long hours of travelling suspending all normal chores for the day. Waiting for hours in the clinic and finally coming back home tired and worn out!
This is the regular plight of the chronic patients especially for the aged persons whose mobility is greatly restricted. Telemedicine provides a great relief!
Easy access from home
You get the same quality medical assistance timely from your home through your computer, smart phone, tablet or I-pad as in the clinic. Now if you are a diabetic or hypertension patient, you can monitor your blood sugar or measure your BP at home easily and report to the healthcare provider regularly.
Through video conference, your doctor may ask you certain questions about your progress with the prescribed medications. This certainly does not require a physical examination every time.
Better monitoring
Often chronic patients have the tendency to postpone the clinical visits due to time constraints. They dread long distance travel and tedious waiting hours. This is quite dangerous as you skip clinical consultations based on these excuses.
With telemedicine, you can maintain a regular health monitoring as the consultation can be accessed from home. Automatically, it would make you alert not to miss the timely consultation.
For patients suffering from chronic depression, telemedicine assistance can be the real life saver. Regular monitoring of psychological developments, increase or decrease in appetite and concentration or whether the patient is nurturing any negative thoughts can be tracked. Maintaining frequent touch with the sufferer irrespective of location helps in faster recovery.
Helps in growing awareness
Unawareness often invites medical disasters. You can include ignorance and negligence as well. For example, if a chronic BP patient is not educated enough of the heart attack symptoms, he many overlook it and get into a life threatening situation.
Telemedicine assistance helps in raising awareness among the chronic patients by several degrees through periodic interactions with the patients. They update the patient database instantly if they see any unusual symptom and keep the patients aware suggesting suitable preventive and treatment methods.
Aids in self-care
Chronic sufferers naturally have to give some efforts in self care because it is just not possible to run to clinic for small aids. With telemedicine, you can check with the healthcare provider about your self-care procedures whether you are doing the right thing or not. You can also get the assistance regarding further improvement in self-care.
Suppose, if you feel that a specific dosage of medicine is not giving the desired result as it used to be, you can seek assistance through telemedicine for an increased dosage or change in medicine.
Saves time and money
This covers more than your travelling time and clinic visit cost. Chronic ailment management accounts for the major part of healthcare costs. Therefore, if you maintain a regular monitoring and follow-up system through telemedicine, naturally you save in emergency hospitalization and additional medication cost.
You may have to invest in procuring quality blood glucose monitor, BP monitor etc. Nowadays these have more or less become a part of household utility and do not drill a big hole in the pocket.
Easy to keep a tab on patient's prognosis
This is the most significant benefit that telemedicine provides. Keeping a tab on patient's prognosis is very important especially for the aged persons. They are the most vulnerable class and the prolonged suffering may have caused serious damage.
Take the case of a patient who has suffered a heart attack and is on the recovery path. It is neither recommended for such a person to travel up and down for hours nor does he possess the energy to do so. With telemedicine, it is possible to keep a tab on his recovery process by providing timely consultations.
Enables peacefulness in mind for patients
It is very natural for a chronic patient to dwell in a feeling of insecurity especially those with little or no home support. Even his family members always remain concerned about his health status.
But if the patient knows that a real time consultation is accessible on request, it makes him feel relaxed that at least he would get the timely assistance if required. This assurance is a great mental boost that instills confidence in the patient to manage his ailment better.]]>

Lakmal backs Dananjaya to focus on Kandy TestPublished : 12:38 am November 14, 2018 | No comments so far | |
(0)reads |
.Suranga Lakmal
Sri Lanka's stand-in Captain Suranga Lakmal has backed Akila Dananjaya, confirming the spinner will play in the second Test against England starting today at the Pallekele Stadium in Kandy.
Dananjaya was reported for a suspect action by the match officials after the first Test in Galle, which England won by 213 runs to take a 1-0 lead. The 25-year-old will need to be tested in the next 14 days but is free to play in this period.
There were thoughts Sri Lanka may leave Dananjaya out for this fixture, given the distraction of being called coupled with his ineffectiveness in the first match, taking two for 183 from 38.5 overs.
But Lakmal has stuck by his man, who has 19 wickets from his first two Tests, and believes he is in the right frame of mind to succeed.
"The Umpires have taken that decision, but Dananjaya can play in this game," said Lakmal.
"I spoke to him and said don't worry about anything – just focus on this game. I'm sure he will get cleared for the next match. He's bowled well in the past and he has to do that again. Getting reported is just another thing. Forget that and bowl well in this game."
Lakmal also confirmed Sri Lanka have asked for a spinning pitch here and believes, after inspecting the surface this morning, that the request has been approved.
"Our weakness right now is batting, and given that, I don't think we can play with one batsman fewer. We've asked for a pitch that favours the spinners, and I think that's basically what we have got here," confirmed Lakmal.
The squads
Sri Lanka: Suranga Lakmal (Captain), Akila Dananjaya, Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Niroshan Dickwella, Dimuth Karunaratne, Angelo Mathews, Kusal Mendis, Dilruwan Perera, Malinda Pushpakumara, Kasun Rajitha, Lakshan Sandakan, Roshen Silva and Kaushal Silva.
England: Joe Root (Captain), Moeen Ali, James Anderson, Jonny Bairstow, Stuart Broad, Rory Burns, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Joe Denly, Ben Foakes, Keaton Jennings, Jack Leach, Ollie Pope, Adil Rashid, Ben Stokes, Olly Stone and Chris Woakes.

Why No Trump Commentary For Weeks
4 comments:
- Jerry Carlin said...
I am so tired of Party Politics and would like to see the Republican Party And the Democratic Party Dissolved!
Trump is our morning bowel movement we are going to have to live with for a long time as the Democrats just don't seem to get it and the Republicans all seem afraid to oppose him. It is Life imitating art and way too much like "House of Cards"!
I would actually prefer to hear stories about how you are dealing with the heat in Arizona.
97 degrees here (Oregon) yesterday, pretty cool compared to you!

Yep, still hot here, Jerry. 114 today, I believe. Heat wave supposed to end tonight, then dip to a chilly average of 109 or so for the rest of the week. Ugh.

Sorry, but I disagree. Keeping HRC out of the WH was the primary reason many of us voted for DT. There was the faint hope that electing a non-pol would wake up the corrupt professional political class that is ruining America, but that was quickly dispensed with. What we have is a very narcissistic President (I know, he's not the first) that seems bent on performing the duties of he office as he and he alone decides. The tweets are juvenile and provide ammo for his detractors. That said, the Democrats are quickly discovering that constantly spouting "NO TRUMP" is not a platform, and will not carry them to victory in 2018.

Randy, I am at a loss about what your are "disagreeing to". I have said on many occasions that I voted for Trump, mainly for the express purpose of not having Hillary. All I have said here is that the guy's an idiot to be constantly tweeting idiocies and feeding his, and OUR enemies...the libtards that would have us all paying for free housing, education and food for everyone...and inviting a million Muslims to the party, with half of Mexico catering the affair. Trump's inability to behave in any socially acceptable manner shows his many weaknesses, including that unstoppable quest for instant gratification.

Healthcare will see a lot of changes in 2019 and not just with coverage and costs. Technology is starting to create major changes in the industry as people want faster and more affordable service. Waiting in a doctor's office for an hour or two is becoming a thing of the past as patients demand convenience and speed. Here are some features which patients are expected to start taking advantage of in 2019:
You've probably already heard about telehealth and the advantages it can offer you. The idea is great, especially for people who need frequent monitoring and advisement. Rather than going to the doctors you can get on the phone or Skype a medical professional. You can check your vitals and get information from them based on your needs and if a prescription needs to be written, they can do it and send it to your pharmacy. This service is expected to take a major leap in 2019 as it provides around-the-clock service to patients in their very own homes.
Online Scheduling
It will now be easier to schedule appointments with doctor's offices and medical facilities. Not only will you be able to schedule online, but you will also see options that allow you to find the nearest option that also has the earliest appointment opening. This will help you to get into the doctor's office or get testing done faster.
Faster Health Insurance Shopping
If you are looking for health insurance, you will be able to compare dozens of plans from multiple providers while you are online. This is a feature that has already been around for years. However, rather than having to go to each individual provider, you can now compare multiple plans at once.
Affordable Care Options
Another feature that patients will be excited to utilize is that they will be able to find more affordable places to get faster care. For example, if you have a cold, you no longer have the schedule an appointment with your doctor. Many pharmacies now have their own clinic where you can go in, get checked out and get the medication you need. These options are also available if you need to do bloodwork, get an MRI or x-ray, rather than going to a hospital where things can get very expensive, you will now be able to get it done faster and for a lot less.
Utilizing these options will help you to save time and money when it comes to your healthcare in 2019.

Summer Staple: White Denim
Hello there, friends! How's your week going? I know it's been on the quieter side around here…lots of personal stuff taking place in our world lately, and I've needed to step away from social media + blogging and tend that for the last couple of weeks. I appreciate your patience with me – and as always, thanks for stopping by!! I feel like things are slowly but surely calming down on my end, which means more content headed your way – home decor, that Japan travel diary (…I promise I haven't forgotten about that one, ha!), more Nordies sale posts and of course, some adorable summer outfits…like this one! If there's one item that just screams summer but is also extremely flattering with a tan (…and tan accessories), it's 100% a fab pair of white denim…
This is my third year with this SAME pair of white jeans and they'll be a staple in my closet for years to come, too. These jeans are by Madewell (they fit TTS) and they are a "hearty" pair of denim…meaning you can't see through them, unlike a lot of white jeans out there. They're a 9 inch rise, so you can breathe easy and eat + drink to your hearts content. I paired them with the cutest ruffle cami by Sezane (ps. anything Madewell + Sezane is a golden combination…two of my FAVE brands that are both classy and timeless), some adorable mules that actually double as slingback heels, too (you just fold the strap over the top of the shoes – SO cute) and a pretty suede handbag to add a pop of color. I've been really into bucket bags lately and this one is a stunner!
Also… I know what you're thinking…the 4th of July was weeks ago! Funny thing, I actually shot this look in June and July 4th wasn't even on my mind, I just loved the combination and feel like it's super fresh and chic for summer. However, it really would be great for July 4th haha… or some cobblestone strolling in Italy? (Vacay dreaming over here, as always… 😉 ).
Linking everything from this look (and a few more fun + flirty tops) below. Happy Thursday, gals! XO

My Review – The Las Vegas Hilton
Las Vegas Hilton
3000 Paradise Road
Las Vegas,
+1 (702) 732 5111
Location It lies about ½ a mile East of the Strip behind the Wynn golf course. Contrary to what many brochures say it is not a short stroll to the Strip, you need a car – particularly at night. This Casino is designed for car drivers, the idea is that once you are here there is everything you need on site and you don't actually need to leave for anything.
Theme It has a "space quest" theme loosely based on Star Trek. The stage show of which is the main headliner here drawing "trekkies" from all parts of the World in to see. There are two casino's housed at the Las Vegas Hilton, the smaller low roller "Space Quest" casino which gives you the feeling of gambling within a space ship. The main and much larger casino does not really have a theme although it does have a sort of Wild West bit with barrels as stools near the back before you enter the massive sportsbook. This casino plays host to many business travellers due the location of the Convention centre next door so you are not going to experience pirates or fire breathing dragons here. Though the staff do wear shiny silver "space" uniforms!!! This is the place where Elvis made his comeback, they had the opportunity to use this for so many themes and yet they choose to use someone else's legend this seems like a real waste.
Attractions There is a brass statue of Elvis as you enter the casino that represents the 837 sell out dates he performed there from 1969 up until his death in 1977. The Star Trek experience attracts thousands of visitors every year, making it one of the most popular shows in Las Vegas.
Pool Its a nice pool you could be forgiven for thinking that you are in Califonia like everything else here its nice but not over the top.
Shows and Entertainment Barry Manilow is the headline act here after 247 years of performing he is still selling out every night. I would love to see Barry in fact we were meant to on 12/27/2007 but he cancelled never mind we will see him next time he is fantastic. The LV Hilton has been home to Menopause the musical and has the $250,000 game show spectacular that you can take part in and win prizes. The LV Hilton also plays host too many visiting headline acts.
Dining The Buffet of Champions (B$11.99 L $12.99 D$16.99 Sunday Champagne Brunch $16.99) is far better than this ridiculous name may suggest. If you are here it well worth a trip but does not warrant a special visit. There are several other restaurants to choose from including the Hilton Steak House, Margarita Grill – Mexican, Garden of the Dragon – Chinese, Andiamo – Italian as well as the compulsory 24hr coffee shop and a couple of other eating establishments. The food in the coffee shop is great and the portions big but the service we recieved in there was poor. You could stay a whole week and not have to eat the same type of food twice.
Gaming 105,500 sq ft in total housing over 1700 slots, over 60 tables and 7 roulette wheels. The smaller Space Quest casino was the one for us with lots of nickel machines, and a very fun theme as well as being almost deserted and probably the only casino on the strip where the bright light feels natural. It feels pretty cool to gamble whilst shooting through space. The main casino is a very serious affair apart from the "Wild West" barrel section mentioned above and minimums on weekdays are sometimes $5 but this does not last for the evening and definitely not weekends. This casino is aimed at the rich corporate client who is quite prepared and happy to bet a minimum of say $25 per hand. I have been told that the casino gets very busy during conventions and limits can be very high. The main casino does seem to have a shortage of nickel machines though some can be found at the rear prior to entering the sports book. The sports book has to be the best in Vegas; it's like walking into a cinema, well worth a look even if you don't want to bet. This casino does give you a sort of Vegas feel of how it used to be loads and loads of lights all over the machines and a sort of luxury upmarket feel. This is probably the quietest casino in Vegas – even the usual holler from the craps tables was not noticed here.
Drinks service The Not bad the drinks took their time in coming but the strength and quality of my gin and tonic seemed higher than many other freebies I got in Vegas. You do get the feeling that you would stand out if you got drunk here. It would not be pleasant experience you feel you may get a telling off similar to one you may have received at school.
Overall A nice pleasant place to gamble for those who do not like the gimmicks that seems to be part and parcel of almost every Strip casino. It is a car ride from the Strip but there is ample parking and it is well worth a visit if for no other reason to see where Elvis filled the showroom for 8 years selling every consecutive date out.
Good points It never seems to be too busy andI liked the "space quest" casino it was real fun; light and airy a refreshing change
Bad points It has to be location if this was on the Strip it could probably contend with the best of them but now if you took away the convention centre and the Star Trek exhibition it would probably be empty.
Top Tip Join the players club you usually get a 241 for the buffet here. 3000 Paradise Road

I've always believed that all wars are fought for economic reasons.
This one is no different.
Trump is threatening economic devastation to countries who do not cooperate.
[…] "The next pillar of our new strategy is to change the approach in how to deal with Pakistan. We can no longer be silent about Pakistan's safe havens for terrorist organizations, the Taliban, and other groups that pose a threat to the region and beyond."Pakistan has much to gain from partnering with our effort in Afghanistan. It has much to lose by continuing to harbor criminals and terrorists. In the past, Pakistan has been a valued partner. Our militaries (sic) have worked together against common enemies.
My one suggestion for everyone is to carefully read the transcript of President Trump's speech from last night before speaking out."The Pakistani people have suffered greatly from terrorism and extremism. We recognize those contributions and those sacrifices, but Pakistan has also sheltered the same organizations that try every single day to kill our people. We have been paying Pakistan billions and billions of dollars, at the same time they are housing the same terrorists that we are fighting. But that will have to change. And that will change immediately."No partnership can survive a country's harboring of militants and terrorists who target U.S. service members and officials. It is time for Pakistan to demonstrate its commitment to civilization, order, and to peace.
Remarks by President Trump on the Strategy in Afghanistan and South Asia
I have no intention of reading hell's half acre of articles, comments, or personal observations of President Trump's strategy in Afghanistan. I will re-read his remarks and listen and read a few select sources.
I'm looking forward to President Trump's rally in Phoenix tonight. Filthy libtard protesters are threatening mayhem. A pox on their houses.
Right Side Broadcasting will be live streaming - and we thank them.

How to accept a job offer
Hunting for a new job can often be drawn-out and disillusioning. Even after a candidate attracts the attention of an employer they can expect a lengthy job interview and selection process. So when a job offer finally comes in, it's tempting to pounce on the opportunity without hesitation. But this is not always the best course of action. And, as with the rest of the recruitment process, there are accepted formal steps for accepting a job offer.
What is the standard procedure for job offers?
Before you can accept a job offer, you first have to be offered one! Most companies will follow a strict recruitment process to ensure that they get the right candidate for the role. This may involve several steps, including a phone interview, in-person interview and reviewing samples of previous work. There will usually be around 3-5 candidates on the shortlist for interview and the final decision will be made by the hiring manager with input from the employees conducting the interview and HR personnel.
Once the team hiring new employees have made their choice, they will then proceed with offering the candidate the job. It's most likely that the company HR department will first offer a job over the phone before following up with a formal job offer letter.
The job offer letter will contain the terms of the position as previously agreed to with the employer, either during the interview process or by email communication. Job title, salary and benefits details, as well as any other relevant terms and conditions, should all be included.
Job salary and benefits are generally determined at the very beginning of the recruitment process according to the company requirements and budget. Some companies may be open to job offer negotiations, but this should take place during initial email communication with the HR department, or even during the interview. Accepting a job offer and asking for more money after you sign the letter and have agreed to terms is not usually a good idea, as it can suggest a lack of integrity.
Ways to accept a job offer
How to accept a job offer verbally
The first step in accepting a job offer is simply to say yes! Accepting a job offer over the phone is the most likely scenario, but you could also accept the job offer in person. There are no set-in-stone rules for what to say when accepting a job offer, but it's important to remain positive and respectful. However, you can:
- Thank the employee for the offer and let them know you're happy about it!
- Ask for time in making a decision if you're not 100% certain. If you do this, make sure to ask about the deadline for your answer. This is perfectly acceptable as accepting a job offer right away can sometimes be a mistake.
- Ask about any further steps before starting employment and about the start date.
- Ask when you would expect to receive a job offer letter and when you need to respond.
It is usually not enough to only accept a job offer verbally or over the phone. The employer will want to have written confirmation of their new hire as soon as possible, so you should expect to receive a job offer letter following verbal acceptance. Nowadays, this is normally sent by email.
How to accept a job offer letter
Once you have informally confirmed acceptance over the phone or by email, you will receive the formal job offer letter with the details of your position. But while you might think you've agreed to accept a position verbally, your new employer still needs you to confirm the job offer in writing.
This could just be a quick and simple reply to the email containing the letter. However, it's considered courteous to reply with a formal job offer acceptance letter. It also gives you an opportunity to review the terms of the job and double-check they match the verbal agreement you made with the recruiters.
Some important things to include in a job offer thank you letter:
- Name, address, date.
- Say thank you for being accepted for the position.
- Reiterate the main details of the job offer, stressing any points you are unsure of.
- Reiterate the start date.
- Let the employer know you're excited to start at the company!
After you've sent your job offer acceptance letter, make sure you keep in touch with the employer right up to the start date. It's a good idea to call or email with any questions you may have, as it shows you are eager and ready to start your new job!

Do Our Top Research-Focussed Universities Offer Students Enough?Posted: November 27, 2009 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
Currently in my group at work there are 2 university students on a 1 year industry work experience program. They attend a middle-of-the-road university not part of the Group of 8 and not particularly known for its research prowess. However, if they choose to pursue a career in science, this year of industry based learning will put them a step ahead of other graduates, I don't doubt this for a second. One outcome of this experience is that they may realise that a career in science is not for them, but this is not necessarily a bad result. Far better for a student to realise this before they have finished their degree and entered the workplace for real.
When I was an undergraduate I was keen to get some work experience (I wasn't sure if chemistry what I really wanted to do with my life), so before my summer break between 2nd and 3rd year I sent off letters to probably about 20 labs asking for unpaid work experience. I thought it would be a good idea to ask one of my lecturers to act as a referee for me. He was happy to do it, but very pessimistic that anyone would take me on, almost to the point of discouraging me from even trying. Despite this I got positive responses from 2 labs, one took me on for 2 weeks, and the other 4 weeks. The experience I gained, not only in improving my practical skills, but also learning about quality, dealing with clients and modern lab instrumentation was invaluable and skills I never would have picked up during the course of my chemistry degree. And in case you were wondering – yes, turned out I did want to be a chemist after all!
Throughout the next 2 years I was still at uni, the academic whom I asked to referee for me continually encouraged me to do a PhD, despite knowing I was keen to enter the workforce. Universities get a lot of money for their PhD students, and are the future of their research and teaching programs so it makes sense that the academic staff encourage ALL undergraduates to continue their education through to PhD. But in my mind there are 2 big problems with this;
Most students are not suited to PhD research, or an academic or research-based career for that matter.
This is not me saying that some people aren't smart enough to be doing PhDs (but probably some are not!). But everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and many of the skills required to excel in a research environment cannot be learned. Ya either got it, or ya don't. Students and their supervisors should have a reasonable idea of their suitability for further research before the honours year is complete, and a joint decision made over whether or not the student is a suitable PhD candidate. It's wrong to push students to do PhDs 'for the good of the department', sometimes at the expense of that student's future.
There is little to no support or information for those who choose not to pursue a PhD
The Discipline within the research-focussed, Go8, Nobel Prize-winning university where I got my degree had no industry ties that I was aware of. Since I have left, there has been at least one industry link set up. Although I believe doing a PhD was within my capabilities, I was clearly headed towards a position in industry and I didn't feel like any of the academic staff would have been any help whatsoever in helping me choose a career direction or giving advice on the kinds of jobs available to chemists locally. The student guild career service was also woefully biased towards students seeking employment after graduating with humanities degrees (actually they probably need the help a lot more than us science grads – ha!).
Research-driven universities need to realise that although they attract top students, not all students can or should do a PhD and have a career in academia. It is not the university's role to find a job for its graduates, however, they should not ignore the fact that industry is employing the bulk of them. As much as the 'second-tier' universities may be mocked by the Go8, they are compensating for what they lack in world-class research by providing their students with 'real-world knowledge' and very valuable industry exposure, ultimately making them more employable.

Misery Index
Misery Index is a deathgrind band formed in 2001 in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. Their music is best described as death metal with strong hardcore punk and grindcore influences. Their vein of music is often said to resemble their fellow Maryland brutal death metal outfit Dying Fetus, as Netherton, Voyles, ex-guitarist Greig and ex-drummer Talley are all former members of that band. Their lyrical subject matter is left-wing, often coinciding with radical and anarchic aesthetics and focusing mostly on the ills of modern society. Their band name is derived from the economic indicator of the same name, which was also the namesake of the last album by Assück, from whom they draw a significant influence.
In 2003, they released their 1st full-length "Retaliate". The band runs its own record label, Anarchos Records, on which it has released a few EPs. In January 2006, they signed to Relapse Records and released their 2nd album "Discordia" in May 2006. Their 3rd album "Traitors" was released in September 2008. They are currently in the studio recording their 4th album "Heirs To Thievery", which is scheduled for release in May 2010.

Pat –
This will do loose tweed style overdrive to full on Muff saturation with a bunch of very cool in between tones, as well. It interacts well with your guitar's volume control and gets that nice fat, honky midrange tone I love. Sounds great in front of a clean amp or pushing something that's already breaking up. This is a really versatile pedal, especially given it only has your standard volume, tone and gain controls. No bells and whistles needed on this one.

Back in July HBO confirmed that the seventh season of 'True Blood' would be expected in the Summer of 2014. And whilst many True Bloodians were elated at the news today's announcement will certainly deflate that excitement somewhat. The network have confirmed that season 7 will indeed be the last from Sookie Stackhouse and the gang. The final season airing next Summer will run for 10 episodes up until it finally concludes paving the way for new TV shows that'll do their best to fill the gap. 'True Blood' stars Anna Paquin ('Scream 4'), Alexander Skarsgård ('Battleship'), Ryan Kwanten and Stephen Moyer. Executive producer Brian Buckner returns for the final season as the showrunner.
"The series follows Sookie Stackhouse, a barmaid living in Louisiana who can read people's minds, and how her life is turned upside down when the Vampire Bill, walks into her place of employment two years after vampires 'came out of the coffin' on national television."
"True Blood has been nothing short of a defining show for HBO," noted HBO programming head Michael Lombardo. "Alan Ball took the books by Charlaine Harris, assembled a brilliant cast led by the magnificent Anna Paquin in the role of Sookie Stackhouse, and crafted a show that has taken its many devoted fans on an unforgettable journey. Alan passed the baton to Brian Buckner, who led our fantastic writers and crew in crafting a spectacular sixth season, and he will lead us through the seventh and final season of this amazing show. Together with its legions of fans, it will be hard to say goodbye to the residents of Bon Temps, but I look forward to what promises to be a fantastic final chapter of this incredible show."

Sometimes the most exotic of locales are closer to home than you think. When I brainstormed the possible locations and settings for a new Far Cry game in my head, Montana was certainly not on my shortlist. It's an odd choice, but one that allows the team to do a lot of really interesting things and immerse players in a world that may feel all too familiar, and not a far cry from where they may call home. We got to take a brief look at Far Cry 5 at the reveal event, as well as interview the developers, but E3 gave us a chance to get our hands on taking down this religious cult that's made their home in Hope County.
The E3 2017 demo begins with picking a gun for hire. Nick Rye provides overwatch in an airplane, dropping bombs and making strafing runs full of machine gun fire. Grace Armstrong is a sniper providing cover fire from a distance, and can be directed where to post up for optimal sight lines. But of course who plays the demo and chooses any partner other than the dog, Boomer? As soon as the demo started, I turned around, whistled to Boomer, and we set off into the wilderness to start our new life away from the blood and mayhem of Hope County.
Kidding. We murdered every religious fanatic in Fall's End.
The town was alive with terror, ripping people out of cars and buildings and executing them in the streets. Eye for an eye, right? I sent Boomer chasing after one guy, threw a stick of dynamite at another, and proceeded to take a potshot at a third as it blew up. I charged down the hill and onto the main street of Fall's End, shooting every cultist in sight before pulling out red, white, and blue baseball bat to crack some skulls in the name of freedom. A second playthrough of this portion with Nick in his plane led to a satisfying explosion of a gas track, and his strafing machine guns kept the enemies from staying out in the streets.
It was amazing to me how natural liberating this small town felt. Too many games make outposts and checkpoints feel gamified, meaning that they feel like just another thing on a checklist of things to do. Far Cry 5 brings the town to life, giving you a strong reason behind liberating it from these murderous criminals. It's an emancipating power fantasy that hits all too close to home in the best of ways.
Freeing the townfolk led to a new character offering a mission, which put me in the pilot's seat of a plane myself. Taking off from the water was easy enough, and controlling the plane felt fairly intuitive while maintaining a level of realism and difficulty. It's a difficult balance to make first person flight feel good, allowing player freedom to control the plane, but not making it so touchy and simulation-like that it becomes an impossible task. Machine guns, missiles, and even dropped bombs became the key weapons for taking out targets on the ground and eventually engaging in a dogfight against another plane, which again provided a satisfying level of difficulty while never growing too frustrating.
The rest of the demo's open world area was filled with exactly the things you would expect from a Far Cry game. Hunting, fishing, gathering supplies for crafting, running over bad dudes with a truck; all of these elements are clearly there. Far Cry has always been a great franchise and Ubisoft is pushing the envelope to bring a whole new level of detail to the living world in Far Cry 5. Who would have thought that I could feel so isolated in a setting so close to home?
Previewed on PS4 Pro. Far Cry 5 releases February 27, 2018.

Stephen Harper's deadly toys
Imagine these spiffy new six-guns (er, fighter jets) buzzing around over Toronto, or Ottawa, or Vancouver, ready to pick off… pick off… well, pick off men with funny clothes carrying suspicious briefcases, or fighter jets from China, or a rogue madman in a heavily armed ultra-light?
You can't be too ready to shoot first, our Stephen says.
Vignette #3: head overseas and "locate and destroy known terrorist cells" in order to protect ordinary civilians and buildings and such in a "failed state".
We'll be able to blow up nasty terrorists in their cells, while they sleep or eat or get ready to fire some surface-to-surface missile that they bought from the same arms manufacturers that we bought our six-guns from.
Maybe knocking off a few innocent bystanders at the same time. But hey, when you've got six-guns down at the OK Corral, you've gotta shoot first, and when those bullets fly...
There are other vignettes to deal with other theoretical threats to Canada – foreign countries threatening "aggression" (you know, Vladimir Putin saying "you people are bad people"), or terrorists planning to hop across the Atlantic or Pacific, armed to the teeth, ready to jump us from behind. In the case of stealthy warriors creeping towards Canada, with "weapons in transit", Stephen is ready. Our new weapons "will be used to prevent the attack in progress, or respond to this major terrorist attack after it has occurred."
Blast them to smithereens over the sea, and if not on the ocean, on Spadina Avenue. Blow them to bits in Halifax Harbour. Shoot 'em full of lead in Iqaluit (now that's better – not so many people around to see the dead bodies…er, collateral damage).
The real irony in all of this war-mongering – this saber-rattling, this armed posturing – is that the reason for getting new fighter jets has nothing to do with getting rid of the CF-18 fighters we already have.
They're actually very good, and military spokespeople have said so, in public, on a number of occasions. Sure, they need to be upgraded with the latest fancy technology, but the basic machine works really well.
The real reason the CF-18 is being replaced is simple: the manufacturer doesn't make spare parts for it anymore.
Like all good exploitative multinational corporations, arms manufacturers have learned that the best way to sell new product is to build new models that aren't compatible with old models. That way, when the shelves are empty of replacement parts for the old stock (read: a couple of years old), then the new models are all you can buy.
The weapons guys have learned how to create a guaranteed market.
In other words, Stephen and his posse – stern and unflinching guardians of fiscal responsibility that they pretend to be – are planning on buying their new six-guns so they can protect the system that drives up costs and uses up the planet's precious resources and compels everyone to buy the latest version of every age-old tool or implement ever dreamed up by our hyperactive imaginations.
Buying new six-guns or fighter jets or assault weapons or cluster bombs or any other device that kills, maims or oppresses people who we imagine to be evil is indicative of the paranoid mindset of our political leaders in Ottawa – but not necessarily of ordinary Canadians.
What about spending a lot of money, time and sincere effort instead on building trust, and engaging in collaboration, and sharing the burdens of other people, instead of on Fortress Canada?
I'll vote for that.
And so, I bet, will most Canadians.

The UK government has updated its travel advice for the Philippines to warn against sea travel following the deadly Iloilo-Guimaras tragedy.
In an updated advisory published today (Monday, August 5) the Foreign and Commonwealth Office warned against sea travel during the rainy season, which generally runs from June to December.
On 3 August 2019 three ferry boats capsized in the Iloilo-Guimaras straits, with at least 30 lives lost. Avoid travel on ferries and passenger boats if possible, particularly in the rainy season (June-December). They are often overloaded, may lack necessary lifesaving equipment or be inadequately maintained and have incomplete passenger manifests. Storms can develop quickly and maritime rescue services in the Philippines may be limited.
Three boats capsized off the coast of Iloilo-Guimaras Strait in separate incidents on Saturday. As we have previously reported, the death toll has now reached 31.
The motorised, wooden-hulled boats were carrying a total of 96 passengers and crew when wild weather caused the vessels to overturn. Regional coast guard commander Commodore Allan dela Vega said it was "squalls" — or sudden strong gusts of wind at sea — that sunk the boats. He also said the vessels had set off during "good weather conditions".
Investigations into the tragedy are ongoing.
The UK's travel advisory also warns against all travel to western and central Mindanao and the Sulu archipelago due to terrorist activity and clashes between the military and insurgent groups. "The FCO advise against all but essential travel to the remainder of Mindanao (excluding Camiguin, Dinagat and Siargao Islands) due to the threat of terrorism," it reads.
Other pieces of UK government advice cover such things as earthquakes, airport security, terror hotspots, volcanoes, kidnapping, tornadoes, zika virus and harsh prison conditions.

Many people wonder where they could find women who love to have cybersex, and the answer to that is quite simple. Actually, the internet is filled with people who love to share their pleasures online with somebody they have never met. However, there are also the ones who are not really familiar with cybersex and how that works.Chat With Girls
You have probably heard about many different sex stories that occur online, where people would flirt and have a great time with complete strangers and sometimes even share an orgasm. After that, those people would just go about the rest of their normal lives, since there is nothing tying you down to one person in particular. However, cybersex is not really for everyone out there, and it can sometimes be emotionally dangerous even if you are not in a serious relationship.
Some cyber partners might end up leaving the online world completely, and get married, which is just a part of the real world, that many online visitors do not understand. But, the reason why cybersex and other cyber pleasures are so addictive is mostly that you are not tied to only one person, there is no such thing as cheating and it feels really amazing.
You get to pick from a number of different models, from teen to mature women, men or ladyboys who would just love to show you their arousing shows. Some cybersex sessions will include the Virtual Reality device, that will make everything seem more realistic. For this to work properly, you do need to have a VR device in the first place, and they do not come cheap; especially not the ones that offer HD quality.
Another thing that you need to keep in mind is that cybersex tends to not be free. You must have heard about at least one webcam site out there, but did you know that their performances and offers are also considered as doing the cyber-nasty? Well, there are many webcam sites that you can choose from today, and if you want something more special, you will have to pay.
Usually, such websites will require you to create an account and purchase their online currency, that will then allow you to tip your favorite cam model. This way, you can ask your beautiful babe, lad or tgirl to do something naughty just for you, and if you want something even better, then you should check out the private sessions.Chat With Girls

Why I think it is important that research is 'politically correct'
Absolutely no question, I've casually insulted every minority going at some point. I've been racist, homophobic, xenophobic, transphobic. I've insulted disabled people and people with mental illness and neuro divergent people and homeless people and travelling communities and people from economically deprived backgrounds. Not to their faces, obviously. I'm not a confrontational person. In fact most of the time I was a child and I had absolutely no idea what I was saying. Sometimes I've unwittingly insulted myself in the process. You know the sort of words I mean, so I won't give them any more publicity. But I'd heard those words somewhere and it felt normal to use them. Times change, meanings associated with words change, society changes. I have my own child now, and I still hear some of the same words in the playground. Kids are still hearing these words somewhere and thinking it feels normal to use them.
These days I'm a card carrying politically correct liberal snowflake. When I hear these kinds of words in casual conversation now, I wince and sometimes I even call it out.
I'm well aware of the arguments against policing political correctness. That insisting on the 'correct' terminology can stifle important conversations and get in the way of achieving 'bigger picture' more important advancements for marginalised groups. I know that terminology preferences change and that it can be hard to keep up with them. I know that people usually mean well. That's why I don't always call it out when I hear it.
But my view is that it is nice not to be a dick. And that's all political correctness is, you know, not being a dick. It means "not using words that might hurt someone's feelings and make them feel even more disadvantaged than they are already".
It is nice to do your best to be inclusive. It is nice to listen to people who have had different experiences to yourself and try to accommodate their preferences when it comes to talking about them and their circumstances. It is nice to try and make things easier for people rather than harder. I think being 'politically correct' is the nice thing to do, and I try to be nice.
But I'm prepared to go one further than that. I also think that as a researcher it is absolutely vital that I use what is currently considered to be the most (politically) 'correct' terminology.
Words are important in research.
Whatever kind of research you are doing, when you are taking up the time of respondents and mining their brains, you owe them respect. They should exit the research process feeling at worst neutral and ideally valued and valuable. Nothing you say should grate on them or make them feel bad. Being nice is the decent and most professional thing to do. If, instead, the words that you use hurt a respondent's feelings well that is just rude and unpleasant – even if done in ignorance.
So, using politically correct language can make the research process more comfortable for the respondent, but it is also important to note that in turn this has positive methodological consequences. You're doing the right thing for your research by doing the right thing for your respondents.
Qualitative research is about relationships. When interviewing it is important to build a strong rapport and demonstrate that you empathise with what people are telling you. In focus groups, it is crucial that you make the environment feel welcoming and inclusive for all – and this involves watching what you say and what the group says.
Quantitative research is nothing without precise language, and when you are designing a questionnaire you need to say exactly what you meant to say otherwise the results become nonsense. Every word must be carefully chosen so that the respondent interprets it as you intended them to.
Either way, it would be foolish to piss off your respondents by using (what they consider to be) insulting or hurtful language. If you accidentally upset them the danger is they will stop engaging with you and your research: either dropping out or telling you less and providing weaker data.
You can't know the background of all of your respondents. If you're meeting them in person you might get a visual clue to their ethnicity or disability or whatever, but you might not. If the research is remote you generally have no idea. We live in a diverse society, and consequently addressing political correctness is as relevant when your research is about football or toothpaste as it is when you are directly researching inequalities or groups with specific characteristics. One in four people in our society have experienced a mental health problem, for example. So you would be wise to expect that people with mental health problems are completing every survey and attending every focus group that you run. No need to alienate them by accidentally referring to nutters and psychos (more advice on that, here).
As a researcher you are an ambassador for getting it right. When you are corresponding with hundreds of people through your research projects you have the opportunity to lead by example. If respondents notice you using a nice inclusive term, they might start using that nice inclusive term too.
Furthermore, when you are working for clients who are experts in their field you are expected to 'talk the talk'. If you consistently use the 'wrong' words you'll look like an idiot and your client will doubt your competence and possibly sack you.
Terminology does change, and for the reasons above I make an effort to try and keep abreast of current preferences. I'll often look at charity websites or publications with a view to finding out, say, how we are referring to homeless people these days or if we've added any more letters into the LGBTQI+ mix. You can't expect to know everything yourself, spontaneously, all the time. I'm sure I still get it wrong sometimes. But I do think it is my job to educate myself, and that I owe it to my respondents and the research industry to make research a welcoming and inclusive environment.
There's no harm in doing your best to get it right.
Because there might be harm in getting it wrong.

'Tis the season to stay inside, cuddle up with good friends, and enjoy some of the holiday's cinematic greats. The Christmas season has inspired some of the most intriguing, touching, and lesson-filled films in cinematic history, and here are some that you might find yourself watching within the next month:
- A Christmas Story
Iconic for its famous "you'll shoot your eye out" line and for the fact that TBS literally plays it on a 24 hour loop on Christmas, this classic Christmas tale reminds you of the hope and excitement each and every one of us had as Christmas approached each year. The film follows Ralphie and his exploits as he runs from bullies, wears humiliating costumes made by loving relatives, and fights for his right to own a Red Ryder air rifle. All in all, this movie is hysterical and will remind you of all the antics you got into as a child.
- It's A Wonderful Life
A little less self-deprecating than the first, this film reminds us in a lighthearted fashion that the holidays are not about gifts or decorations: it is about celebrating with loved ones. This film follows George Bailey, a man who had many aspirations and ideas for his future, who ends up with a life he did not vision for himself. Though he loves his family, Bailey feels as though life would be better off without him and that is exactly what he gets. Bailey is visited by an angel who grants him this wish, and shows Bailey just how wrong he his. He touched and impacted so many people in positive ways, which is kind of the point of the holiday: no matter how tough things are, remember that you have a support system to rely on and be relied upon. Plus, when a very special bell rings in the last scene, you will be filled with all kinds of warmth – I don't want to spoil it for those who have not seen this movie yet!
- The Nightmare Before Christmas
Both a Christmas and Halloween movie, this Tim Burton film meshes all the best of the spookiest and the happiest holidays respectively. Jack the Pumpkin King feels as though there is something missing; Halloween has become dull. So, in search of something to spice up the festivities, Jack walks dejectedly into the forest outside of the cemetery to find the seven holiday doors. Accidentally opening the portal to Christmas Town, Jack finds elves preparing for the Christmas season and is very impressed by the entire atmosphere of Christmas. What ensues is a wild idea to mix Halloween and Christmas, and crazy happenings such as kidnapping Santa Claus and battling with the Boogie Man occur. This was most definitely my favorite holiday film as a kid and I recommend it to anyone who loves the creativity of the storyline or just the fact that is has songs in it.
- Elf
This film is probably one of the most quoted and Tumblr reblogged Christmas movies ever. After discovering he is not truly an elf, the movie follows along on Buddy the elf's journey to find his real dad. This hilarious Christmas story stars a very funny Will Ferrell, and has many scenes that will have you and your friends bent over in laughter, as well as teaching you an appreciation of the child-like belief that Buddy exhibits all throughout the film – maybe growing up is not always the best idea (but inevitable, nevertheless).
- A Christmas Carol
By far one of the most recognizable Christmas tales, A Christmas Carol has been a staple for the holiday season since its publication. Not to mention its many screen reincarnations, this film can be seen in many forms: one could watch the original, the one with Jim Carrey voicing over a cartoon version of the film, or even a Muppets version in which Michael Caine plays the infamous Scrooge. This classic teaches us the importance of not only being thankful for what we have, but also for inspiring us to help others who are less fortunate than we are. Greed is the bane of humanity, and this story does a fantastic job of giving its audience a newfound appreciation of that notion.
What are you watching this holiday season?
