Protect Yourself Online
Jobing.com is passionate about the chance to deliver you real, fresh, local jobs. Here are some tips to help you learn about security precautions you can take in your job search both on Jobing.com and with job offerings that may come to you through email.
Research potential employers carefully, know who you are applying to. Never provide personal information or click on any email links from an employer prior to confirming they are a credible organization. If you receive an email from an employer, verify the information they send you by visiting their website (do not solely rely on links or information provided in their email). You should also take note of the sender's email address. Most employers have an email that relates to their place of business (i.e firstname.lastname@example.com). An email sent from a generic address, such as yahoo or gmail, could indicate the sender is not affiliated with a legitimate organization.
Do not share any of the information below on your resume or online: Drivers license, Bank account, Credit card information, Passwords, Social Security number
Disregard all emails offering employment opportunities that involve acting as a go-between for money transfers.
Here are some warning signs for fraudulent postings:
- Requests to manage financial transactions from home
- Bad grammar and frequent misspellings
- Requests for detailed personal information (Drivers license, Bank account, Credit card information, Passwords, Social Security number)
- Compensation based on you withdrawing funds from a bank account
- Any job that requires a fee of any sort: application fee, processing fees, inventory charges – you should not pay to work
- Shipping from your home

As a child, my parents threw me into every sport available on the planet. Soccer, baseball, volleyball, you name it; I've taken a crack at it. Throwing me into sports that I wasn't any good at helped me in my, what seemed lifelong at the time, commitment to not exercising. I told myself that I didn't need it and that gaining weight was a natural thing. However, there's some point in all of our lives where the number on the scale needs to stop getting larger.
For those of you who've read my previous posts, you know that I've been through a weight loss journey, and that even though I could barley jog 5 steps in high school, I turned to running to help me lose weight as an adult. This isn't the story that I want to retell. This is a summary of a new "triumph" that has taken place in my life recently that I think we can all learn from.
This past weekend, I ran a half marathon that I didn't intend to run. I've ran half marathons before, but I trained for those races. This year, when my cousins asked me to run this particular half marathon, I told them, "no." There really wasn't a chance in hell that this would end well. For the past several months, I have been so preoccupied with other life happenings that I've let myself backslide into some unhealthy habits and limited exercise. I've just gotten to the point where I'm not as motivated anymore.
A few days before the half marathon, I told my cousins, "you know, even though I'm not running, I'd still like to come and cheer you on the morning of." One of my cousins, Samantha, mentioned that along with the half marathon course there was a 10K (6 mile) course happening at the same time. I thought to myself, well, maybe I am strong enough for the 6 mile course. Sure, I haven't ran in 6 months, but I've done Pilates and a few strength training exercises, I think I'll be fine.
Even though I had plenty of lead time, race day came sooner than expected. I was scheduled to pick Samantha up at her apartment the morning of. And, of course, she was running late. After she was finally ready, I looked down at the clock when we climbed into the car and realized that we wouldn't make the start time. "Its fine," she said, "we'll just start our 10K race when the half marathon starts. We'll still run the right course."
The gun went off for the half marathon, and there we went. "I'll stick with you so that we both don't miss the 10K exit," she exclaimed. Perfect, this chick, who is one of the fastest people I've ever ran with, has decided to move her run time to sloth pace, instead of the preferred gazelle, just to make sure poor little me doesn't get left behind. Wow, how helpless am I?
As we reached the two mile mark, we realized that the exits for the 10K were blocked off. There was no way we were going to be able to do the 10K course. Fuck. At the five mile mark, Samantha ditched me. We both realized at that point that we were going to have to run the half marathon whether we wanted to or not, and she was not about to sloth pace through the rest of it.
Mile 7, about half way finished. I could smell the gasoline as I past the local Mobile station. And, I could smell the breakfast menu from the restaurant down the street. I felt disgusted. A man on the sidelines cheered, "Way to go, you're half way there!" and I wanted to slap him. I couldn't possibly continue. I felt like I could barely breathe.
As cops and paramedics whizzed by me on their bikes and in their golf carts, it took every ounce of resistance I had not to yell, "Officer, help! I'm on the wrong course. Can I get a lift to the finish line? I don't feel well."
I've made it to mile 8…after walking a majority of mile 7. I notice a pile of vomit on the course. Whoever did that, I get you. We are one in the same.
I'm on mile 10 and I can't believe I've made it this far. And then, I realize that I have another 5K left to run before I cross home plate. There is a man running next to me. He's probably in his late 60's. He's decided that he's fed up too, so he begins to power walk. I have slowed my jog to a crawl…that is apparently as fast as this man's power walking speed. What's the point of life?
Finally! We're in the home stretch! There's a man in front of me who is clearly having issues with his calf. He's jogging with a limp, and I still can't seem to pass him with my run/walk/jog routine.
Here we are, the finish line. The man with the calf issue is now skipping and limping, but he finishes strong…at the same time I do.
I surprisingly crossed the finish line and was only 12 minutes worse than the time I had the year before. I felt so low and disgusted with myself. How could I let all these people pass me? Why did I stop to walk? I never stop to walk! But, with "tragedy" comes a bit of clarity. I realized why I kept up with running when I started a few years ago. Throughout my younger years, I hated running because I always wanted to be faster than the people around me. It wasn't until I realized that the only person you truly need to compete with while you run is yourself. Push yourself to finish, take it at your own pace. You don't have to be better than the others around you, you just need to be louder than the negative voices in your head telling you to stop or that you can't do it. There are so many people out there who don't run because they think they'll look stupid, or that you have to be an all-star athlete to run a mile. I'm living proof that you don't have to. You just have to take it slow, and push yourself to be better than what you were yesterday.
It's time to start getting louder than the voices in your head, because you're worth it.

Research reveals that 10% of middle-aged Europeans are on antidepressants
New research from the University of Warwick and the IZA Institute in Bonn shows that 10% of middle-aged Europeans took antidepressants in 2010. The researchers looked in detail at the lives of a randomly selected sample of nearly 30,000 Europeans. The study covered 27 countries.
Andrew Oswald, an economics professor at the University of Warwick, and co-author of the study, described the results as concerning, he said: "Antidepressants are a relatively new kind of commodity. We are only starting to get proper data on who takes them. But as we live in the richest and safest era in the history of humans, perhaps we are going to have to ask ourselves why one in ten of Europe's middle-aged citizens need a pill to cope with life. That is an awful lot of people relying on chemical happiness."
In detail, the authors of the report find:
(i) One in thirteen of adult European citizens -- and 10% of middle-aged Europeans -- took an antidepressant in the previous twelve months;
(ii) The rates of antidepressant use are markedly greatest in Portugal, but also noticeably higher than the European norm in Lithuania, France and the UK;
(iii) The probability of taking an antidepressant is greatest among those middle-aged, female, unemployed, with low levels of education, and divorced or separated;
(iv) A strong hill-shaped age pattern is found -- both for males and females and in Western and Eastern Europe -- that peaks in people's late 40s. The study adjusts for whether individuals have young children, so children are not the cause of the midlife low in well-being.
(v) This pattern is consistent with, and independently helps corroborate, the recent finding across the world that happiness and mental health follow an approximate U-shape through life. The scientific explanation for that midlife low is still unknown.
The new study, "Antidepressants and Age", by David G. Blanchflower and Andrew J. Oswald, can be downloaded from this page and as a Discussion Paper from the Publications section of the IZA Institute site.

Gen. William W. Momyer, who commanded the Tuskegee airmen, and tried to slander their image, dies
William M. Momyer, then a three-star general, in 1967.
By ROBERT D. McFADDEN
Published: September 2, 2012
Gen. William W. Momyer, a celebrated World War II fighter pilot who helped plot postwar tactics for the Air Force and commanded aerial combat and bombing operations during the early years of the Vietnam War, died Aug. 10 at an assisted-living center in Merritt Island, Fla. He was 95.
The general, a resident of Rockledge, Fla., in recent years, apparently died of heart failure at Selah Seniorcare-Cedar Creek. Chloe Drobniewski, a spokeswoman for the center, confirmed his death on Sunday.
In a 35-year career that spanned a revolutionary era of aerial warfare, from dogfights in P-40s against whining Messerschmitts over North Africa to the rolling thunder of supersonic fighter-bombers over the cities and jungles of Southeast Asia, General Momyer (pronounced MOE-meyer) was known as a daring pilot, an aggressive wing commander and one of the best air tacticians of his time.
In combat missions over Algeria, Tunisia, Sicily and Italy during World War II, General Momyer, then the young commander of the 33rd Fighter Group, led attacks on enemy troops, installations, airfields and convoys; shot down eight fighters, including four confirmed kills in a single engagement; became a highly decorated ace; and, by 1943, after little more than a year of combat, was wearing the silver eagles of a full colonel.
But his group's combat losses were heavy, and his record was tarnished by verbal attacks — amplified by a Time magazine article — on an all-black squadron under his command that came to be known as the Tuskegee Airmen. He disparaged its discipline and performance and hinted at cowardice, although he had excluded its men from briefings and had grounded them far from the front.
A Congressional committee found his accusations to be baseless, and the black airmen went on to a distinguished war record.
In 1944, Colonel Momyer, whose nickname was "Spike," was ordered home and named chief of combined operations for the Army Air Forces, coordinating air and ground combat tactics. After the war, he became assistant chief of staff for the new Air Force Tactical Air Command, which was set up to reorganize the nation's air defenses and its tactical and reserve forces. During the Korean War, he remained stateside, joining the faculty of the Air War College.
After a series of operational commands in postwar Korea and in the United States, and assignments in Air Force planning and programs that propelled him up the ranks, General Momyer, now with three stars, was sent to Vietnam in 1966 as commander of the Seventh Air Force and deputy commander for air operations under Gen. William C. Westmoreland, the United States commander in Vietnam.
General Momyer ran the air war in Indochina, coordinating Air Force, Marine and South Vietnamese operations and some Navy sorties in the Gulf of Tonkin by carrier-based jets in the South China Sea. His forces included F-4 Phantoms and F-105 Thunderchiefs, supersonic fighter-bombers armed with missiles that looped and dived in wide-ranging air battles against Soviet-made MIGs deployed by North Vietnam. By late 1967, his forces had largely eliminated the MIG threat and ruled the skies.
In support of American and South Vietnamese paratroops and ground forces, General Momyer's planes dropped bombs and napalm to clear landing zones and attacked targets in dense jungles that were bastions of concealment for the Vietcong and North Vietnamese forces.
During the Tet offensive in 1968, when North Vietnamese forces attacked South Vietnam's cities and military bases, General Momyer's high-flying B-52 Stratofortresses pounded enemy troops at Khe Sanh with 100,000 tons of explosives. The operation, dubbed Niagara, inflicted heavy losses on the North Vietnamese, who eventually broke off the attack.
Using reconnaissance and satellite photographs to identify targets, General Momyer's B-52s also struck missile and antiaircraft sites, fuel and ammunition dumps, transportation centers and other heavily defended targets around the North's capital, Hanoi, and its principal port, Haiphong. His first annual report cited 13,000 sorties.
But some air bases, the Haiphong docks and a rail center on the Chinese border were off limits, despite recommendations by General Momyer and others to hit them. Worried about widening the war, President Lyndon B. Johnson and Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara mandated a strategy of slowly escalating air attacks, but eventually allowed strikes at all but a few targets.
General Momyer's work was hailed by Johnson, who in December 1967 made him a four-star general, met him in Thailand and asked him to extend his tour of duty for six months. He personally flew dozens of missions, including reconnaissance and rescue operations, but plotted the air war in a windowless headquarters near Saigon, surrounded by intelligence photos, maps and weather reports.
Colleagues said he knew the topography, the roads and the trail networks thoroughly; charted all missions, enemy encounters and weather patterns in grease pencil on glass-covered seven-foot maps; could contact any pilot in Southeast Asia within one minute; and tenaciously pursued search-and-rescue missions for downed pilots, sometimes pacing all night in his combat center awaiting word. His pilots said he had an uncanny insight into flight patterns to avoid flak on missions in the North.
The general left Vietnam in August 1968 and assumed command of the Tactical Air Command, which developed tactical strike forces for deployment anywhere in the world. He retired in 1973, having amassed 4,000 hours in the air and a host of decorations.
William Wallace Momyer Jr. was born on Sept. 23, 1916, in Muskogee, Okla., one of four children of William Sr. and Beatrice Conway Momyer. His father died when he was a boy, and the family moved to Seattle, where he attended Broadway High School. He earned a bachelor of arts degree at the University of Washington in 1937 and entered military service in 1938.
In 1939, he married Marguerite Willson, who died in 2004. He is survived by a daughter, Billie Jean Pilipovich of Merritt Island, and by three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
He trained as a fighter pilot and was assigned to flight command duties until 1941, when he went to Cairo as a military attaché. In Egypt he became an adviser to the Royal Air Force, which was acquiring its first squadron of Curtiss P-40s for the coming air war in North Africa. From 1942 to 1944, he led the American 33rd Fighter Group in North Africa and Italy.
General Momyer was the author of "Air Power in Three Wars," covering World War II, Korea and Vietnam. General John P. McConnell, the Air Force chief of staff during General Momyer's Vietnam years, said: "He is the greatest tactical air technician and knows more about the operations of tactical air forces than anyone the Air Force has ever produced."

By far, the GST amendment will be the biggest step the country has taken in ensuring economic integration. While the draft law comes with a promise of economic growth, it poses several critical pitfalls that can adversely affect businesses in the country.
GST: Great or Gruesome
The trust deficit between the Citizens of India and the Government of India has plummeted to new depths when one reads the Draft GST Law (in case you have not read the draft laws, please click here to read it). In one fell swoop, a swathe of businesses is staring at their death knell – as instead of being the promising vehicle for growth, GST has the potential to destabilize all that is good. On the bright side, this is still a draft law – and corrections can be applied, so that GST indeed becomes the Greatest Simplified Tax regime, and the biggest economic event of Independent India. It has all the ingredients to become so. Why then, am I sounding the danger bells?
The most critical cause of failure of GST will be in the transference of responsibility and liability of tax remittance to the customers of a supplier (Section 16(11)( c)). Basically, the law postulates that if a particular supplier has failed to comply with the law correctly – by furnishing the correct returns (Section 27(3)) and/or making the correct payment (Section 27(2)) – then its' customers cannot avail the input credit, and if given, it will be reversed.
The origin of this provision lies in the history of tax avoidance through false representations by a small section of businesses[i] and the fact that it was not feasible for the Government to systematically contain this problem. With the framing of this law, the Government hopes that the market will self-weed out the bad eggs – which is not wrong in theory. What is wrong is not understanding the cascading consequences of doing this in practice – and the mayhem it will create. While the effort for driving compliance will reduce, the consequential effect of businesses shutting down, and therefore collections going down, have not been treated seriously enough.
What exactly is the problem?
Let us understand this by visualizing a scenario.
Assume Business A operates on a retained margin in the range of 8-9% [ii]
Because it is (say) an SME, it buys without access to good credit terms. So, it has purchased goods worth 50,000, and with GST of 20%, it has paid Rs. 60,000 for the invoice. It now sells this at Rs. 55,000, with an applicable GST of 11,000 – so raises an invoice of Rs. 66,000 on Business B.
Business B is a distributor, operating on a margin of (say) 2% [iii]
Now, Business B is concerned that the input credit of Rs. 11,000 may or may not available to it, in case Business A is negligent in its compliance. Therefore, it refuses to pay the GST amount UNTIL it can be certain to get the input credit (which is an entire 'return' cycle away). So, it pays only Rs. 55,000 on an invoice valued Rs. 66,000.
Business A, in order to 'get' the balance due of Rs. 11,000, has to first finish all compliance requirements, including payment of Tax, when it has not yet 'collected' the Tax amount! In contrast, if Business B 'trusts' Business A and DOES pay the Rs. 11,000 – and if, for whatsoever reason (negligence, cash difficulties, mal-intent), Business A fails to complete the compliance, Business B will lose not just Rs. 11,000, but in effect, the 'margin' it makes on 10 other such invoices (since it operates on a thin margin of 2%)!
Critically, this is not just an 'invoice to invoice' problem. Business A probably supplies to twenty-thirty people, and each of its customers will not have access to input credit due to any negligence of Business A!
Apart from this, there are going to be enough collateral problems. For example, when the input credit is denied, will this be formally treated as a 'business expense' and not be taxed by Income Tax? Obviously yes! But at what point do I treat this as 'contingent expense'? Will my Advance Tax payments made on the assumption of 'possible write back' be accepted? If not, will I be reimbursed for the cash-flow cost I incurred? How do I report my end-of-quarter and end-of-year? Will banks fund me? Will insurance cover this risk? How much more working capital will I require? Will I be eligible for it?
When the input credit is uncertain and outside one's span of control, the correspondent questions which will arise – and correspondent litigations can only be imagined. The last two-three questions will kill a large number of businesses (SMEs, Distributors, Stockists, Industrial Retail, Commodity traders – who either work on wafer-thin margins, and/or with inadequate cash).
The reasoning of the Government is: people are today colluding (albeit in small percentages) to fraudulently take input credit when it is not due. Therefore, it is only fair to put this risk back on the citizen. It also reasons that because this is a small percentage, which will keep declining due to self-correction by citizens, it is not a 'great burden' – that is, the 'business risk' is small enough to be manageable.
The problem is not the 'management of a manifest risk' – the problem is the side-effects of cash flow, improper accounting, and reduced ability for people to trade with new suppliers and new customers – since there is uncertainty about the business outcome.
Is there a solution?
Of course. One of the greatest benefits of GST is that it is built ground up as a technology-enabled-tax-system.
In the past, it was not feasible for the Government to systematically mitigate the risk of fraud, since there was no practical human ability to keep track and trace the culprits – who could/would repeatedly create phantom organizations, and/or phantom invoices. Against this history, it is no wonder that the Government wants to control this menace!
However, GST gives extraordinary traceability. For one, it fully eliminates the ability to have phantom invoices. That alone, will massively reduce the problem. Secondly, with the near ubiquity of Aadhaar and the passage of the Aadhaar Bill, the Government MUST mandate that all GST registrations are traceable to individuals based on their Aadhaar identity. Now, the ability to repeatedly create phantom organizations which allow credit to be taken without correspondent payment will rapidly evaporate. And, of course, the sheer traceability of the individuals, and strong public actions showcased for deterrence, will NOW become effective.
While Tally has been working to ensure that the right software is available to all of you to simplify and manage your business when GST comes, it will obviously not help to solve this basic problem created by the law itself.
GST has all the ingredients to be Great. Making it practical and convenient, by removing this one MAJOR lacuna, will go a long way in its 'welcome embracement' rather than 'resisted embracement'. Being technology led, it also has all the ingredients to spiral upwards the trust deficit, rather than spiral downwards. If all of us, as responsible citizens of India, rally together to help make it Great, we will all live together in a Greater and Grander India.

Dear Sir,
For this why Government should take the tax before like prepaid mobile system and make online forms with every bill or as simple as a number from a govt department through sms. from this tax will be safe for both the government and the buyer and the bills will be always genuine. and with out online forms bill should not have any validity.
- RAMESH January 10, 2017 at 7:10 pm
Because government have no infrastructure. They only need tax at any manner.

Dear Mr. Goenka , well the GST is one of the and just beginning of the Global trade and Global accountability. The brain of all human being may not be restricted by merely showing the Aadhar card as base individual record to accountability in our reality Indian situations where we have high experience in corruption. Our human invented technology as robotic software which justify and provide 100% accuracy and also in multiple language and ready to adjust with growing technology at any extend in future.
The combination of Aadhar not only sufficient and real time account once you have look into the history of numerical figures duly audited and certified by Robotic software besides the authentication by CA's CWA's CS's and Govt. in general. Once we have identified the 700 crores all human beings finger print, iris analysis and signature and also the DNA if possible may be the true identification and can trace any where in the world who beneficiary really in one transaction for which the United contribution by each individual towards robotic software and correction there of on the basis of growing our needs and technology outstanding in linking all together at present by Air and sun light but in future with networking of human being through quantum technology, through neutrino particles technology where the natural organic things act as mass storage server for example tree which communicate each other from for away distance of 1000 of kms. Our Tally software ready to incorporate multi language portability to mobile with in built OS which has been through wireless network using organic based data server connected through the network directly read by mobile at present but in future through brain of each human being can view the transaction in a light speed and there will be no man has identity for the any development but benefit of equal to all our human beings in our mother Earth and beyond

The provision of dis-allowing input credit already exists in Delhi VAT. A monthly mis-match report on the VAT website lists which of our suppliers has not deposited VAT, and input credit claimed by us is therefore dis-allowed. We tell the suppliers to deposit the tax and file a revised return; normally it works, but if a suppler repeatedly defaults, we simply change the supplier.
So I do not see why GST, in its present form, will create a problem. We are really looking forward to GST being implemented, as we can then select suppliers from all over India, instead of just Delhi

Dear Sir
Thanks for the valuable information, which seems very logical in the current situation
We use Mac computers and we are finding it very difficult to work on Tally which works only on Windows
When are you planning to introduce the Mac version please let us know

Tributes paid to Maeve Binchy
The writer and journalist Maeve Binchy (72) died peacefully in a Dublin hospital last night after a short illness. Her husband Gordon Snell was by her side.
She was probably one of the best-loved Irish writers of her generation.
President Michael D Higgins said he was "deeply saddened" to hear of her death.
"She was an outstanding novelist, short story writer and columnist, who engaged millions of people all around the world with her fluent and accessible style," he said. "She was a great storyteller and we enjoyed her capacity to engage, entertain and surprise us. For others, particularly young and aspiring writers, she was not only a source of great encouragement; but also to so many, of practical assistance.
"In recent years she showed great courage and thankfully never lost her self-deprecating humour, honesty and remarkable integrity as an artist and human being."
Taoiseach Enda Kenny today paid his condolences to Mr Snell and the extended Binchy family. "Today we have lost a national treasure. Across Ireland and the world people are mourning and celebrating Maeve Binchy. She is a huge loss wherever stories of love, hope, generosity and possibility are read and cherished.
"Today as a nation we are thankful for and proud of the writer and the woman Maeve Binchy. I offer my deepest sympathies on behalf of the Government and the Irish people to her husband Gordon Snell and extended family."
Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore said Ms Binchy was "more than a writer. She was storyteller, and one of the best storytellers that Ireland has ever produced."
"Maeve was incredibly generous in every way but in particular she was generous with her own time," he said. "Despite the fact that she was a hugely successful author around the world, she never lost the human touch and would always make a point of taking time to talk to passers-by, well-wishers and supporters."
The Irish secretary of the National Union of Journalists, Seamus Dooley, said the author had been a life member of the union and had only recently written a special article about her association with it in The Journalist magazine.
"She was a woman of rare charm, warmth and generosity of spirit. Hundreds of journalists have reason to be grateful for her guidance and encouragement. She was always available to young writers and at heart remained a teacher," he said.
"Maeve loved people and her unique insight into human nature shone through her journalism and later her novels. She will be missed for her sense of fun, her humour and for the grace and style which were her hallmark."
He also extended sympathy to her husband.
The Irish Times editor Kevin O'Sullivan said Ms Binchy had brought the essential qualities of the best journalists to all her writing - an insatiable curiosity about people and ear for dialogue.
"Her acute, sympathetic observation of the lives of others was at the heart of her hugely popular columns in The Irish Times, many of which were inspired by stray, overheard conversations, and of her bestselling novels, which told universal stories about friendship, family and love," he said.
"As Women's Editor of The Irish Times, she was in the vanguard of giving a voice to a generation of Irish women who were determined to play their full part in reshaping society."
Mr O'Sullivan added: "Unfailingly generous and thoughtful, Maeve was loved by everyone she worked with at The Irish Times and she maintained a close relationship with the newspaper right up to her death. Her unique style transcended novels, short stories, letter-writing and beautifully-crafted journalism. Along with millions of her readers around the world, her colleagues here will miss her sorely."
Minister for Arts Jimmy Deenihan said Ms Binchy's prolific works "will no doubt stand the test of time" and provide a window into an emerging and ever changing Ireland. "She was generous with her wisdom and time and will be remembered as someone who carried the torch for many emerging Irish women writers by sharing her experiences and knowledge with one and all," he said.
Arts Council chairwoman Pat Moylan said Ms Binchy was "a storyteller of rare gifts" and that her work had, and will continue to reach, an "extraordinarily wide" audience. "Her work was pioneering in its treatment of female subjects and her prose, while always intensely readable, tackled profound questions about Irish life and culture, past and present," Ms Moylan said.
Born at Dalkey, Co Dublin, in May 1940, the writer was the eldest of four children. She is survived by her brother, Prof William Binchy, and sister Joan. Another sister, Renee, died some years ago.
As she wrote on her website: "I was the big bossy older sister, full of enthusiasms, mad fantasies, desperate urges to be famous and anxious to be a saint. A settled sort of saint, not one who might have to suffer or die for her faith. I was terrified that I might see a Vision like St Bernadette or the Children at Fatima and be a martyr instead. My school friends accused me of making this up but I never looked up into trees in case I saw Our Lady beckoning to me."
She attended the Holy Child Convent in Killiney, then UCD and worked for a time as a teacher at various schools in Dublin before she began writing for The Irish Times. In 1968 she was appointed its Women's Editor.
It was not what her mother intended. Maeve wrote: "My mother hoped I would meet a nice doctor or barrister or accountant who would marry me and take me to live in what is now called Fashionable Dublin Four. But she felt that this was a vain hope. I was a bit loud to make a nice professional wife, and anyway, I was too keen on spending my holidays in far flung places to meet any of these people."
She spent time in those years "on the decks of cheap boats, or working in kibbutzim in Israel or minding children as camp counsellors in the United States".
In letters home her accounts of escapades in those places amused her family greatly. "My parents were so impressed with these eager letters from abroad they got them typed and sent them to a newspaper and that's how I became a writer," she said.
She was appointed to The Irish Times London office in the early 1970s and it was there she began writing fiction. Her first novel, Light a Penny Candle, was published in 1982. It was in London also that she met her husband, Gordon Snell.
She described him as "a writer, a man I loved and he loved me and we got married and it was great and is still great. He believed I could do anything, just as my parents had believed all those years ago, and I started to write fiction and that took off fine. And he loved Ireland, and the fax was invented so we writers could live anywhere we liked, instead of living in London near publishers."
She wrote 16 novels, two of which, The Lilac Bus and Echoes, were made into TV films while Circle of Friends, Tara Road and How About You were made into feature films. She wrote four collections of short stories, a play Deeply Regretted By and the novella Star Sullivan.
In this newspaper on July 3rd last she said: "I don't have any regrets about any roads I didn't take. Everything went well, and I think that's been a help because I can look back, and I do get great pleasure out of looking back...I've been very lucky and I have a happy old age with good family and friends still around."
She will be cremated in a private ceremony following removal on Friday morning to the Church of the Assumption, Dalkey.

Culture In Bromo
For article mount bromo tour, we will in addition to discuss culture in Bromo – Probolonggo.
On the fourteenth day of the Hindu festival of Yadnya Kasada, the Tenggerese people of Probolinggo, East Java. Travel in the works the mountain in order to make offerings of fruit, rice, vegetables, flowers and sacrifices of livestock to the mountain gods by throwing them into the caldera of the volcano.
The extraction of the ritual lies in the 15th century legend where a princess named Roro Anteng started the principality of Tengger with her husband, Joko Seger.
The couple were childless and so beseeched the guidance of the mountain gods. The gods settled them 24 kids but stipulated that the 25th child, named Kesuma, must be thrown into the volcano as a human sacrifice.
The gods' demand was implemented.
The tradition of throwing sacrifices into the volcano to appease these ancient deities continues today and is called the Yadnya Kasada ceremony.
Though fraught following danger, some locals risk climbing the length of into the crater in an attempt to recollect the sacrificed goods that they recognize could bring them fine luck.
On the sand plain, locally called Segara Wedi (lit. sand ocean), sits a Hindu temple called Pura Luhur Poten.
The temple holds a significant importance to the Tenggerese scattered across the mountain villages, such as Ngadisari, Wonokitri, Ngadas, Argosari, Ranu Prani, Ledok Ombo and Wonokerso.
The temple organises the annual Yadnya Kasada ceremony which lasts for roughly one month. on the 14th day, the Tenggerese congregate at Pura Luhur Poten to question for blessings from Ida Sang Hyang Widi Wasa and the God of Mahameru (Mount Semeru).
Then the crowd proceeds along the crater edges of Mt Bromo where offerings are thrown into the crater.
The major difference amongst this temple and Balinese ones are the type of stones and building materials. Pura Luhur Poten uses natural black stones from volcanoes nearby, though Balinese temples are mostly made from red bricks.
Inside this pura, there are several buildings and enclosures joined in a mandala zone composition.

Cultivating Freedom
July 29 issue column
As any horticulturalist knows, you cannot cultivate roses merely by plucking weeds and killing aphids.
One must plant rose seeds. No matter how hospitable the garden is for the cultivation of roses, if there are no seeds, there will be no roses. Negative horticulture is, in itself, unproductive.
This simple, incontrovertible notion has direct applicability to human beings and their desire for freedom.
No amount of negative freedom — removing barriers that would inhibit the cultivation of freedom — will ensure the cultivation of positive human freedom.
This latter freedom must grow from an interior seed, which is the human will.
The modern world has expended considerable effort in its attempt to clear away various barriers that appear to be obstacles to freedom.
The Enlightenment sought to free reason from faith, believing that faith is an obstacle to freedom.
The Marxists were committed to liberating man from the oppression of the ruling class.
Freud wanted to free man from his restricting inhibitions; Darwin from the illusion that man was unique among animals.
Friedrich Nietzsche was passionately dedicated to ridding the world of a non-existent God whose specter prevented man from becoming truly himself.
None of these attempts to enlarge human freedom, however — all being negative — contributed one iota to the cultivation of positive freedom, which is indispensable for the proper fulfillment and flourishing of the human person.
The distinguished theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar has made the observation that "human beings only become truly human when they have chosen and actuated themselves in freedom; when the 'nature' in them has been totally and freely appropriated and responsibly worked through."
No one can choose freedom for us. Freedom must be willed from the inside in order for the seed of freedom to germinate.
Yet the modern apostles of negative freedom continue to have their appeal, since they promise to deliver an automatic freedom, one that can be attained without personal effort.
The notion of "Freedom 55," therefore, has become very popular, inasmuch as it represents the anticipated enjoyment of freedom simply because one has been emancipated from the workforce.
Modern emancipatory movements will continue to have more influence than is justified as long as people neglect the more important freedom that requires effort and discipline, along with a realistic sense of one's self and one's place in the world.
The issue of freedom is being hotly contested at present in American society. In order to shed some valuable light on the issue, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York, has produced an e-Book entitled True Freedom: On Protecting Human Dignity and Religious Liberty.
There can be no freedom without recognition of the positive value of human dignity. The cardinal refers to a number of examples that indicate a "rampant disregard" for human dignity: the approval of embryonic research, the torture of prisoners, abortion, the dismissal of the meaning of marriage and the federal contraception mandate.
"We can see," writes the cardinal, "that there is a loss of a sense of truth and objective moral norms — rules of conduct that apply always, to everyone."
Instead of grounding morality in the natural law, which is valid and liberating for all people, society has substituted "pragmatism, utilitarianism and consumerism," all of which have no higher goal than the satisfaction of individual preferences.
Human dignity is an essential value. It cannot be disregarded. Indeed, justice demands that it be accorded its appropriate freedom. Human dignity is a moral value. Laws are not just that violate human dignity.
Citing Pope Benedict XVI, the archbishop of New York pointed out that the separation of law from morality "fails to recognize the full breadth of human nature and, in fact, both diminishes man and threatens humanity."
Cardinal Dolan is indicating that laws that violate human dignity — no matter how much they appear to make people free (the freedom to be relieved of an unwanted pregnancy through abortion, for example) — contribute to the culture of death.
If negative freedom continues unchecked, there comes a point when there is nothing left to remove. Removing every factor that appears to be a restriction on freedom — the natural law, faith, inconvenience, any reference to God and unwanted human life — does not allow the person to flourish; it suffocates him.
Roses will not grow, as we mentioned at the outset, by plucking weeds and killing aphids. But here, the negative horticulture is at least opposing the enemies of roses. We are not talking about their benefactors: water, soil and sunlight.
In our present situation in the United States, what is at risk is actually beneficial to the flourishing of the human being: the positive freedom that is concomitant with human dignity.
People would be gravely mistaken if they viewed the cardinal's book as exclusively Catholic. The archbishop of New York is addressing all human beings and underscoring the essential importance of their human dignity. He is appealing to the interior core of the human person, that capacity to choose the positive freedom that allows him to flourish precisely as a person.
It is a journey worth undertaking. As G.K. Chesterton once said, "If seeds in the black earth can turn into such beautiful roses, what might not the heart of man become in its long journey toward the stars?"

Description of Research ExpertiseRESEARCH INTERESTS
The Vonderheide laboratory combines efforts in both basic research and clinical investigation to advance the understanding of tumor immunology and to develop novel immunotherapies for cancer. The chief hypothesis is that successful approaches in tumor immunotherapy will need to (a) optimize target antigens with regard to clinical applicability and risk of antigen loss, (b) repair host immuno-incompetence in antigen presentation and T cell function, and (c) circumvent immuno-suppressive factors of the tumor and tumor microenvironment.
Dr. Vonderheide's basic research includes deciphering the immunobiology of novel genetically engineered mouse models of cancer, including the regulation of immune surveillance and the tumor microenvironment by CD40 and other pathways, and with a focus on pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, and melanoma. His translational work tests novel approaches such as vaccines, antibodies, and adoptive T cells for the treatment of patients with melanoma, pancreatic cancer and other cancers. He has studied 'universal' tumor antigens, immune effects of radiation, and immune modulatory pathways involving CD40, GM-CSF, PD-1, CTLA-4, and CD25. Publications include those in high-impact journals such as Nature, Science, Cell, and the New England Journal of Medicine.

Year 1, No. 1 (January 1927) through Year 2, No. 12 (December 1928) (all published). 24 issues, published in 22 vols. as issued, comprising a complete first edition of the Soviet avant-garde monthly designed by Alexandr Rodchenko under the editorial direction of Vladimir Mayakovsky, followed by Sergei Tret'iakov, each issue with 4 pp. of reproductions of photographs or photomontages by Rodchenko and others bound in. 4to.

"We must revolutionize people by making them see from all vantage points and in all lights." [1. Alexandr Rodchenko. Novyi Lef, No. 6 (June 1927), trans. by Gail Harrison Roman.]
The nationalist pageantry of the Sochi opening ceremony drew vivid attention to Constructivism and the legendary achievements of the Russian avant-garde. A monumental locomotive steaming through the darkened stadium surrounded by dramatically lighted industrial and geometric fragments was an improbable homage to the groundbreaking aesthetic strategies of artists like Alexandr Rodchenko whose photomontages, bold graphic design, and splintered vision celebrated technology and foreshadowed the artist as an "avatar of the information age."

Happy spring cleaning!
Most people brace themselves between Halloween and Easter – I call it The Season of Sugar and Junk. It's not just the Halloween candy; it's the Thanksgiving pies followed by the holiday cookies and cakes. It's being surrounded at the office by offerings of chocolates and goodies. After the New Year, we're still not safe. Valentine hearts and chocolates follow, then we slide into Easter – bunny rabbits, chocolate eggs and those darn jelly beans (my personal weakness).
As these holidays pass and the weather begins to warm, let's turn our thoughts to spring cleaning – not just our homes and pantries, but also our diets.
Some people think a juice fast after the holiday season is a good way to jumpstart their way back into healthy eating, but the damage from the fast may be worse than the fruitcake. When diets have consisted of turkey stuffing, gravy, desserts and candy, a fast can throw one's system into shock and one's liver into overdrive. The body might detox too quickly and could go into toxic overload.
In the first year of recovery, the liver is already stressed. During this time, it is wise to avoid dramatic cleanses and fasts. A gentle cleansing is always a great way to get ready for spring. Aim for a 75 percent vegetarian diet.
Start the day with a green juice. Put some celery, kale, cucumber, green apple and ginger in the juicer. Don't overdo – six ounces is enough. If you prefer smoothies, blend some greens, organic berries, cucumber, apple and chia seeds. Follow your drink with some easily digested breakfast foods such as steel cut oats with coconut oil and berries or organic scrambled eggs with some spinach, kale, mushrooms and onion.
For lunch, again stay with easily digested foods, such as vegetable soup with beans for protein or a giant salad with seeds, nuts and fresh herbs, such as cilantro and basil, topped with olive oil and lemon.
To assist your detox, snack on vegetables and fruits throughout the day. Cucumbers and hummus or some almonds and an apple are healthy choices.
For dinner, eat a small amount of chicken, wild fish, tofu or tempeh with steamed, roasted or sautéed vegetables. Broccoli and cabbage are great for detoxing. Include a moderate portion of whole grains like quinoa, brown rice or barley for added fiber. Don't forget to use healthy fats, such as avocado, olive oil, nut butters and organic butter. Artichokes, beets, avocado, collard greens, flax seed (freshly ground), coconut oil and sea vegetables, including nori and kombu, are all great to add to your diet.
To help the body clean up after the gingerbread and candy hearts, remember to drink plenty of water – at least half an ounce of water per pound of body weight per day. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, drink at least 75 ounces a day. That is one half to three quarters of a gallon of clean water a day. While cleansing, limit or avoid caffeinated beverages. Green, white, dandelion and pau d'arco teas are helpful for the detox process.
Whenever possible, remove sugar, gluten, processed foods, conventionally-raised meats and dairy. Include organic dairy products such as goat cheese, high quality yogurt and butter. However, be aware that consuming excess amounts of cheese and milk can cause congestion and slow down the detox process.
Yoga, hiking, dancing and other types of movement also help the body cleanse. Using saunas, steams and a body brush support the body's natural detox process through the skin.
Avoid dramatic shifts in your diet. Make the changes slowly. Your body will thank you.

Future of Indian education lies in digital worldMonday, November 19, 2012
India cannot build enough brick and mortar universities to meet the exploding demand for higher education from millions of its youth, and must rely on digital technology instead, telecom minister Kapil Sibal said. Sibal, who till recently was also human resource development (HRD) minister in charge of the nation's education, cautioned against trying to emulate the US or the UK university system as a model for India, speaking at the HT Leadership Summit.
"We have to look at an entirely different model," Sibal said. "There's no way in which we can build physical infrastructure to cater to the fast-growing push for higher education coming from students and their parents."
India has 540 million citizens under 25 -- a demographic dividend that international agencies like the International Monetary Fund have said could help the country gain an additional 2% GDP growth. But the country has only 604 universities, and about 4000 colleges, less than 50 per cent of what it needs to achieve its target of a 30 per cent gross enrolment rate in higher education by 2020. Over the past decade, as this gap between demand and supply has increasingly become evident, India has encouraged the private sector to invest in the sector, expanded government institutions of excellence, supported states in setting up more colleges and tried to enact a legislation that would allow foreign universities to set up campuses in India and to collaborate with Indian varsities in offering joint degrees.
But Sibal's argument suggests a growing realisation in the government that trying to build India's equivalent of the Ivy League – the subject of a HT Leadership Summit session discussion – may not be the most effective strategy.
"One can really conceive of a situation where ICT [Information and Communications Technology] based infrastructure could be used to reach thousands of colleges," Sunil Kumar, dean of the University Of Chicago Booth School Of Business said.
India is already building a National Knowledge Network that aims to connect all universities on a dedicated high-speed digital highway, to allow faculty members to teach students across varsities.
"In 3-4 years, everything will go digital. Fiber optics will reach every village by 2013, and then we'll ensure last mile connectivity. That's got to be the way forward," Sibal said.
British education philanthropist Peter Lampl, who heads the Sutton Trust, also argued against using the US or the UK as models for higher education in India. Unlike the US or the UK – which focus on a few research institutions like the Ivy League universities, Oxford or Cambridge – Europe may represent a better model for India, Lampl, who joined Sibal and Kumar in the discussion, said. "Staying away from rankings of top universities, like they do in Europe, is probably good for India," he said.
But key to meeting India's higher education challenges remains money, Sibal said. "This nation will never be a wealthy nation if we don't invest enough in higher education."

Students across the UK could be left unable to graduate after academics announced plans for a marking boycott in an increasingly bitter row over pay.
In a further escalation of its industrial action, the University and College Union (UCU) said it has given the green light for its members to refuse to mark exam papers and assessments if the dispute is not resolved in the next two months.
The move, described by the union as its "ultimate sanction", could mean that students are left without the final results they need to gain their degree, and therefore would be unable to graduate.
The dispute focuses on a 1% pay rise offered to university staff, which UCU insists means that their members have faced a 13% pay cut in real terms since October 2008.
UCU, along with a number of other unions, has already staged three one-day national walkouts as part of their campaign, and has also held a series of two-hour strikes aimed at disrupting teaching.
University employers have previously expressed disappointment at the UCU's action, and maintained that the strikes were not well-supported.
UCU said that its marking boycott - the first the union has conducted since 2006 - will begin on April 28 if a pay deal is not reached.
The union said it hoped that employers would sit down with them to work out a pay settlement in the next few weeks, adding it had been frustrated with employers' stance on the issue.
General secretary Sally Hunt said: "A marking boycott is the ultimate sanction, but an avoidable one if the employers would negotiate with us over pay. No member I have spoken to wishes to see this dispute escalate, but in the continued absence of meaningful negotiations from the employers, we are left with no alternative.
"I fail to see how any university can claim to have students' best interests at heart if it is not pushing for talks with the union to resolve this dispute. Even now the timetable we have set provides a generous window of opportunity for the employers to address our just demands, which we, and students, hope they take."
She added: "The strong support for our action so far demonstrates how angry staff are at the hypocrisy over pay in our universities. The employers cannot plead poverty when it comes to staff pay and then award enormous rises to a handful at the top."
A spokesman for the Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA) said: ``Higher education (HE) institutions will certainly be disappointed that the UCU is still threatening a marking boycott, as this is action that is once again aimed directly at students' education.
"Both UCU and HE institutions are well aware that strike support has dwindled still further in recent weeks, with the overwhelming majority of staff not taking part and having no wish to disrupt students' education.
"It is quite extraordinary for the UCU to be planning yet more action over last year's pay uplifts with the 2014-15 pay negotiations due start in March, a full month prior to the start of their threatened marking boycott. Everyone is aware that last year's pay uplifts averaging 3% have already been paid.
"The employers were willing to explore whether both sides could engage in positive dialogue about how they could approach the 2014-15 pay round, rather than continue to dispute last year's pay claim.
"Clearly HE institutions will be affirming their policies for withholding full pay for any staff who follow such a damaging course of industrial action aimed at their students' education."
