Today, after years of effort, it is with great pleasure that we announce the public release of Squarespace 6.
At its core, Squarespace is about your online identity. Your web presence is a direct extension of your personality. It is critically important all businesses and individuals not only have an online presence they are proud of, but one that they are in control of.
The driving purpose behind Squarespace 6 is to give our customers immediate access to the best in modern web design, unrivaled tools to create dynamic pages, blogs, and galleries, and social integrations that always keep you connected – all in an elegant interface that makes managing your website a joy.
There are many exciting things to talk about in this release, but first some perspective.
Squarespace 6 comes loaded with over 50 new features. Every aspect of our platform has been touched in some way, from the core blogging system, media management, commenting system, and more.
I'd like to highlight a few areas where the new system really shines.
- Templates - Our launch templates are of unparalleled quality – ranging from visually robust portfolio templates to minimalist blogs. These are not ordinary templates. Squarespace 6 templates are visually rich, created by an all-star design team and powered by the latest web technologies. All of our templates come with unique built-in mobile experiences, so your website will look great on any device.
- LayoutEngine - At the heart of Squarespace 6 is LayoutEngine, a revolutionary new page building technology that allows anyone to create graphically rich, magazine-quality page layouts within the browser that can scale to any screen size, from mobile devices to desktops. Traditionally, the designs that LayoutEngine can produce required not only a high level of design expertise, but a high level of programming experience. Now these designs can be built in minutes by anyone who can drag and drop content blocks on to a page.
- Social Integration - Squarespace 6 makes it exceptionally easy to automatically push your posts to Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr, enable social sharing buttons for your visitors, stream content onto your page from Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, and publish pages and galleries directly to your Facebook page.
- Improved Importing - Squarespace 6 contains importers for Wordpress, Tumblr, Posterous, Blogger and Squarespace 5. Imported blogs will perfectly retain their original URL structures, and we will download and re-host your media on our platform to ensure a seamless move.
- Media Management - Never resize an image again. All media on Squarespace 6 is resized into multiple forms upon upload, and our system intelligently selects the appropriate image size to display to your visitors. Also, we allow focal point selection for galleries, so if you've selected a template that needs to crop your images, we will be able to ensure an appropriate crop every time.
- Developer Platform - While our release today is centered around the consumer features of Squarespace 6, there is a star underneath it all. The developer platform we've used to create every website on our platform, ranging from our homepage to every one of our templates, will be available shortly and will enable developers to control every single line of HTML on a Squarespace site.
Existing Customers & Upgrading
We are committed to making sure we answer all of your questions about the new platform and how it will impact our current customers. Here are some key points:
- You do not have to move your website to Squarespace 6, nor will your site automatically convert. It is an absolute priority to us that the introduction of our new platform does not disrupt your site or the way you work. The Squarespace 5 platform will be supported indefinitely.
- We are giving all Squarespace 5 customers a free Squarespace 6 website. Feel free to explore the system and its new features side-by-side with your current website. You can import blogs, pages, and galleries from your existing website into Squarespace 6 without affecting your live website and run both websites in parallel.
- Switching to Squarespace 6 requires you to select a new template and website design. However, all of your blogs, comments, and galleries from Squarespace 5 can be imported to a new Squarespace 6 site.
Help can be found in our KnowledgeBase, but please do not hesitate to contact support with any specific questions you might have.
The all-new Squarespace 6 is available today starting at $8 per month with 24/7 support and a free custom domain (with annual subscription). Squarespace's prices remain unchanged, and all new templates are included at all plan levels.
Thank You
Squarespace has always been built for the long term, and this long-term thinking is deeply woven into the fabric of the Squarespace 6 platform. Squarespace 6 provides a solid foundation for us to build interaction-rich, beautiful websites, and put those sites in the hands of millions.
Since our inception, design has been a primary driver of our company. Design shapes the experience of the technology we interact with, and, when done well, can create the sort of experiences that infuse technology with a bit of humanity. You see the importance of design throughout the Squarespace 6 platform, from our front site, to the templates we have created, all the way through to our management interface. It is this design, along with the engineering to bring it to life, which sets Squarespace apart.
We see Squarespace as not just a technology company, but, in many ways, a fashion brand as well. The website you put online is a reflection of your personality, which people will see and form opinions upon. It's critically important that this reflection conveys the right representation of you. As such, it's important we continue to get the balance between technology and style just right.
What started in a dorm room 8 years ago has grown to a team of 90 incredible individuals here in downtown New York. It is due to your ongoing support that we have been able to assemble such a first-rate team. We are excited to discover what we – and you – can accomplish with such a great platform.
Thank you for helping us achieve today's goal and for your continued support.

We keep coming back to "Therese Raquin" for the same reason Emile Zola's 1867 novel of adultery and murder, which ascribed its anti-heroine's amorality to her "hot" African blood, stirred the imaginations of Theodore Dreiser ("An American Tragedy"), James M. Cain ("The Postman Always Rings Twice") and a thousand other creative voyeurs with access to a printing press. Sex sells. It hooks us as partakers in someone else's fantasy of desire and comeuppance. We want to know what happens once the guards are lowered and the clothes come off and transgressions feed other transgressions.
The new and dully titled film "In Secret" comes from a first-time feature director, Charlie Stratton. His script credits Zola's novel along with another source, the 1990s Neal Bell stage adaptation of "Therese Raquin" that enjoyed some circulation on U.S. regional stages.
His cast for this modestly budgeted period picture, set in Paris and the French countryside, is led by Elizabeth Olsen as Therese, abandoned by her father at a young age, raised in provincial anonymity by her aunt (Jessica Lange). Therese's sickly and naive cousin Camille (Tom Felton) becomes Therese's husband in a marriage of depressing expedience.
Husband, wife and husband's mother relocate to the dingiest flat in Paris, where one evening Camille brings home a friend from work: the bohemian sensualist Laurent, played here by Oscar Isaac of "Inside Llewyn Davis." One look at this guy and Therese, dying of sexual thirst in a desert of a marriage, is a goner. Then, in another way, so is Camille, once Laurent and Therese work up the nerve to kill him off and live with the consequences.
Isaac's the chief point of interest in this solid if workmanlike movie, which, like Bell's play, has a punchy rhythm in its dialogue and a strong interest in the ways of all flesh. (At one point Laurent is hiding beneath Therese's skirts, sexually pleasuring her while Lange's brittle character is fussing about.) Stratton made the film in Belgrade and Budapest. The cast, comprising mostly Americans and Brits, speaks in a lightly worn array of English dialects signifying the roster of French characters. Isaac's sly delineation of the charismatic Laurent provides the through-line. Olsen is pretty good, too, though with her bald-faced, moon-eyed disdain for everyone around her, the material loses some of its tension between repressed surface and roiling underbelly.
The Gabriel Yared musical score is pure generic sludge, which does the erotic frisson no favors. Anyway, it's impossible to scandalize 21st-century audiences the same way Zola's readers were shocked by "Therese Raquin." Zola wrote his novel shortly after Darwin's "Origin of Species" came out, and all the book's talk (excised from this and other versions) of "nerves" and bloodlines and "fatalities of the flesh" have a way of undermining what endures in the story.
As for Lange, she has some ripely melodramatic moments once her character gets nailed by a stroke and must suffer, mutely, as her former daughter-in-law becomes France's conniver-in-chief. Lange has such interesting and voluble emotion inside her as an actress. One only wishes she could go back in time and undo some of the apparent and, in a small way, tragic facial work that has rendered a veteran performer, now in her mid-60s, as something less than authentic.
"In Secret" - 2 1/2 stars
MPAA rating: R (for sexual content and brief violent images)

The ever popular Boston Theatre Lounge is now available with Storage Consoles in either a straight or Angled/Curved configuration.
The Boston is a contemporary design, featuring square arms with a stylish inlay in the front panel and a well upholstered back cushion which provides excellent lumber support (customer's feedback).
All reclining actions fully recline and are wall saving which means you only need a small distance behind the recliner (less than 100mm). Manual recliners are standard or you may upgrade to powered/electric operation for the first class movie experience. For powered/electric recliners we only use OKIN branded motors which feature German Technology and from our many years of experience, we have found them to be very reliable.

How our lounges made:
All Materials used are brand new. Nothing recycled or reconstituted.
substantially constructed from hardwood timber
Seat cushions:
Resilient High Density Foam - No pocket springs are used (they might sound good however they rupture after a while and you end up with a bulge in the seat!)
Seat Supports:
the seat cushion is supported by flexible, zig zag steel springs that go from the front to the back of the seat frame - No elastic webbing is used - if a lounge has elastic webbing, the elastic will eventually stretch causing the seat to sag, no matter how good the seat cushion is!
Reclining actions:
wall saving, steel recliner actions which have a smooth operation. For a high back lounge, you will only need 100mm behind the lounge to fully recline.
Recliner Release:
we use steel triggers, not plastic ones!

High winds, heavy rain, massive lightning and dime-size hail hit areas of Jackson County around 1 a.m. Thursday morning. The storm downed some large trees, knocked out power for several hours and caused two fires.
One of the hardest hit areas with wind damage appeared to be along Lyle Field Road between Jefferson and Commerce where a number of trees, some over 100-years-old, were blown over. Whether the damage was from straight line winds or a tornado wasn't clear.
According to Steve Nichols, director of Jackson County Department of Emergency Services, 16 trees were reported down across county roads.
In addition, an old chicken house caught fire on B. Wilson Road in Commerce during the storm and a barn on Birch Street in Nicholson also caught fire. No injuries were reported.
Jackson EMC reported 15,000 customers out of power during the night, but only 64 remained without power as of 9 a.m. Georgia Power reported 215 customers without power early Thursday morning.

U.S. Women 'Haven't Won Anything,' Wambach Says; France Is Next
The U.S. women's national team could be forgiven for soaking in the glory of their gut-wrenching win over Brazil in the Women's World Cup quarterfinals. The tight game electrified fans, driving many to parse the game's twists and turns, and it's dramatic final moments, on Twitter.
But Abby Wambach — whose head forcefully redirected a crossing pass from Megan Rapinoe into the goal in the 122nd minute to send the game to penalty kicks — says the U.S. team isn't satisfied.
"This isn't good enough," Wambach said in an interview with U.S. Soccer late Sunday. "We haven't won anything. We won a game, and that's it. We want to win the World Cup, and that takes two more games. It's gonna take a really good performance against France, they're a great team, they have many threats."
The semifinals matchup against France is scheduled for Wednesday at noon, ET. The winner will face the survivor of the Japan-Sweden game in the championship match on Sunday, July 17. The losers will play in the third-place game Saturday.
"Obviously, we have two more big games coming up," Wambach said, "but this gives you the kind of confidence that just makes you feel like you can fly. I'm proud to be a part of this."
"We play under pressure," coach Pia Sundhage told U.S. Soccer. "But we embrace that; we like that."
If you missed Sunday's game, ESPN has put highlights on YouTube (but they won't let us embed the video, sorry):
U.S. Win Over Brazil Nets Big Ratings
Bill Hofheimer of ESPN says that TV ratings for the quarterfinals match between the U.S. and Brazil drew an overnight rating of 2.6 — a result he calls "Awesome!" in his Twitter feed.
To put that number in perspective, this year's French Open final between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer also drew a 2.6, which NBC welcomed as a 63 percent rise over last year's match.
And to put it in basketball terms, the match beat the coverage of this year's NBA Draft by 0.1 percent.
The high viewership may be the result of a fairly slow weekend in U.S. sporting news. But a conversation I had with a fellow viewer suggests there may be more to it.
My fellow fan, who is proudly French and fanatically into soccer, said he was surprised at how much he's enjoyed all the Women's World Cup matches he's seen. Asked why, he said that teamwork, strategy and crisp passing have been common. And one thing has been rare, he said, especially compared to the men's game: flopping.
Sure, the Brazilian women often pretended that they weren't used to the strong gravity here on Earth. But the fans hissed and whistled at them furiously for it. And Erika's late fainting spell supplied the stoppage time that allowed Wambach to score a late goal and send it to overtime.
A rival theory holds that viewers were simply relieved to see elite soccer being played without the headache-inducing accompaniment of vuvuzelas, the horns whose drone came to define the men's 2010 World Cup.
A World Cup For Robots
I'm still on the lookout for any prescient cephalopods — like Paul the octopus — making bold and correct predictions of Cup matches. No luck yet, but I did turn up the RoboCup, a soccer competition among robots, which runs concurrently with the Women's World Cup.
This international competition is based in Turkey. But like the World Cup for both male and female players, it's a source of English frustration. As the BBC notes, "The UK's best robot footballers have followed the example of their human counterparts and bombed out of the football World Cup."
The robots play according to rules similar to those that govern FIFA matches, with some adjustments. If you're thinking that means light-amplified weapons, join the club. But no.
"The robots are still a little bit fragile in comparison to humans," Thomas Rofer told the BBC. "So we penalize pushing. A lot."
On the RoboCup site, computer engineering professor H. Levent Akin says that RoboCup began "with a focus on robotic soccer and a goal of having a team of robots having a match with a human team in 2050 and winning."
And RoboCup's goal isn't merely to mark the start of the Machine Overlord era. Since the criteria for playing soccer include a robust physique and a facility for complex analysis, the competition is meant to nurture the development of robotkind.
Who knows, maybe someday there'll be room for a robot in the World Cup — FIFA seems to be on the lookout for the perfect, unimpeachable referee.

Family Accommodation in New Zealand
New Zealand offers an extensive range of high quality motel accommodation options to suit travelling families, couples or groups of friends on the move.
1 / 4
When travelling in New Zealand on a family holiday you'll find there is an extensive range of excellent accommodation options to suit both your budget and your travel needs.
Family Friendly Motels
Motels are a very popular and practical choice for family itineraries as they offer the flexibility to self cater and spacious living area for end of day relaxation. They are generally a high standard and very affordable.
Key features of motel accommodation in New Zealand are:
* self catering facilities with a kitchen or kitchenette, including cook top, microwave, toaster etc.
* cooking utensils and dining ware
* complimentary tea and coffee, sugar, salt & pepper
* private bathroom with shower and toilet - towels provided
* Television, radio and heating
* studio, 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom options
* on-site parking, usually free
* often outdoor facilities such as children's playground, BBQ, swimming pool
There are a number of high-quality motel chains in New Zealand - including Golden Chain and Bella Vista - ensuring a consistent level of friendly service and good, clean standard. Generally they are owner-operated and offer warm, friendly "Kiwi" hospitality.
Also look out for the Qualmark Quality Assurance mark - this shows that the motels meet Qualmark's quality standards and have been independently assessed on-site for facilities, professionalism and trustworthiness.
Family Friendly Apartments
Apartment accommodation suitable for family holidays is popular in more urban cities and resorts of New Zealand. Sometimes apartments are privately owned and rented out on a time-share basis, others are incorporated into a hotel-style complex.
You can self cater in the modern kitchen provided, generally in-room laundry facilities are included, separate lounge for socialising and bedrooms for peace and quiet. Typically studio, one and two bedroom options are available. A home away from home and especially ideal for multi-night stops so you can stock up with grocery provisions and settle in!
Prices vary depending on location and standard. Apartments are rarely found in small towns and villages, but usually there are motel options in these places. Sometimes special multi-night and seasonal rates are available, particularly during the quieter winter months - with the exception of course of ski resorts which have their high season during the New Zealand winter.
Hotels for Families
Even though hotel rooms more often cater for couples, most will add an extra bed for an accompanying child. This could be a rollaway or sofabed, made up with sheets and blankets. Generally the age limit is 12 years. Some hotels also offer interconnecting rooms which comfortably cater for 2 adults/2 children, but these need to be booked well in advance for availability.
If you are looking for a comprehensive hotel pass, then KiwiCombo Pass offers the choice of self catering motels and full service hotels, with accompanying rental car.
Article by
KiwiCombo Pass New Zealand
KiwiCombo Pass self drive packages offer accommodation vouchers with rental car hire. Choose from 6 car types & either full service hotel or self-catering motel accommodation. Create your own itinerary or use one of our suggested routes.

Carol Mathewson
Save Date: August 17, 2008
On August 17, 2008, at the age of 56, I participated in the Danskin Triathlon in Seattle. It was a beautiful day and I was very excited. I said goodbye to my daughter and headed for the starting line. That's the last thing I remember until I woke up from a coma three days later.
My family learned that, about 20 yards from the finishing line, I hung on to a man's kayak. He said "Are you OK?" and I said "Yes," then he said "Do you need help?" and I said "No." Then I went under water; I had an SCA, went unconscious, and nearly drowned. Thank God there were many people on surfboards and kayaks that came to my rescue. They got me to shore where two bike medics took over. Then the paramedics and firefighters arrived and took me to Harborview Hospital.
At the hospital they paralyzed me and cooled my body temperature down for 24 hours then brought it back up. I spent 23 days in the hospital, now have a defibrillator and had five months of PT, OT, and Speech therapy. The Speech therapy was because my voice got bad from the tube down my throat and I needed help with cognitive reasoning since I had an anoxic brain injury.
I started back to work on Feb. 4th after passing a nine-hour neuro psych evaluation. I'm working part-time; Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for four hours each day, and I will slowly add more time and days as my stamina increases.
I thank God every day for my recovery. I've been told that only three percent of SCA folks live and of those living, they usually don't recover 100 percent ... I'm very blessed!

I. Top job interview questions with answers for adult nursing
1. Why did you choose your specialty area of nursing?
Whether the area of specialization is ER, Occupational Health, Community Health, ICU or any other, the key to answering interview questions about your nursing career choice is to be very specific about why you chose it. What influenced you in your choice? How did you explore your options? Highlight how your strengths are best utilized in this area and how it suits your personal competencies.
2. Why did you leave your last job?
Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major problem with management and never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers or the organization. If you do, you will be the one looking bad. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking reasons.
3. Why do you want this job: adult nursing?
This question typically follows on from the previous one. Here is where your research will come in handy. You may want to say that you want to work for a company that is X, Y, Z, (market leader, innovator, provides a vital service, whatever it may be). Put some thought into this beforehand, be specific, and link the company's values and mission statement to your own goals and career plans.
4. What have you done to improve your knowledge for adult nursing in the last year?
Try to include improvement activities that relate to the job. A wide variety of activities can be mentioned as positive self-improvement. Have some good ones handy to mention.
5. Describe to me the position: adult nursing you're applying for.
This is a "homework" question, too, but it also gives some clues as to the perspective the person brings to the table. The best preparation you can do is to read the job description and repeat it to yourself in your own words so that you can do this smoothly at the interview.
6. What is your greatest strength?
This is your time to shine. Just remember the interviewer is looking for work related strengths. Mention a number of them such as being a good motivator, problem solver, performing well under pressure, being loyal, having a positive attitude, eager to learn, taking initiative, and attention to detail. Whichever you go for, be prepared to give examples that illustrate this particular skill.
7. What kind of salary do you need?
This is a loaded question and a nasty little game that you will probably lose if you answer first. So, do not answer it. Instead, say something like, that's a tough question. Can you tell me the range for this position? In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard, will tell you. If not, say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a wide range.
II. Top tips for adult nursing job interview:
If you're counting down the days till your next job interview, these helpful hints will help you get in the right mood so you can leave a lasting impression on the interviewers:
1. Do your research
Fail to plan, and you plan to fail. You are certain to be asked specific questions about the company, so make sure you've done your homework on things like their last year's profits and latest product launches. Also take a look at the latest developments in the industry so you can converse with confidence.
2. Practice your answers
It sounds funny – and it looks even funnier – but practicing out loud for your interview will help you sound more polished and concise and less nervous in the actual interview. List a few key things you want the employer to know about you, and review common interview questions. Formulate answers to those questions and answer them out loud while looking at yourself in the mirror. This exercise prevents you from rambling in the interview and sounding unpolished and unsure. It also helps you discover what really does make you the best candidate for the job!
3. Make good first impressions
A cardinal rule of interviewing: Be polite and offer warm greetings to everyone you meet — from parking attendant or receptionist to the hiring manager. Employers often are curious how job applicants treat staff members — and your job offer could easily be derailed if you're rude or arrogant to any of the staff.
4. Provide examples
It's one thing to say you can do something; it's another to give examples of things you have done. "Come with a toolbox of examples of the work you've done," advises Fogarty. "You should come and anticipate the questions a recruiter's going to ask based on the requirement of the role. Think of recent strong strategic examples of work you've done, then when the question is asked, answer with specifics, not in generalities. You should say, 'Yes, I've done that before. Here's an example of a time I did that…,' and then come back and ask the recruiter, 'Did that answer your question?'"
5. Dress for success
Plan out a wardrobe that fits the organization and its culture, striving for the most professional appearance you can accomplish. Remember that it's always better to be overdressed than under — and to wear clothing that fits and is clean and pressed. Keep accessories and jewelry to a minimum. Try not to smoke or eat right before the interview — and if possible, brush your teeth or use mouthwash.
6. Ask questions
You should always have some questions for your interviewer to demonstrate your interest in the position. Prepare a minimum of five questions, some which will give you more information about the job and some which delve deeper into the culture and goals of the company.
7. Thank Interviewer(s) in Person, by Email, and Postal Mail
As you have already seen from previous tips, common courtesy and politeness go far in interviewing; thus, the importance of thanking each person who interviews you should come as no surprise. Start the process while at the interview, thanking each person who interviewed you. Writing thank-you emails and notes shortly after the interview will not get you the job offer, but doing so will certainly give you an edge over any of the other finalists who did not bother to send thank-you's.

Training Pitfalls and Pointers/
Training Pitfalls and Pointers
By Wells H. Anderson
(Originally published in GPSOLO, a publication of the American Bar Association)
Kim and Pat, partners in an estate planning and real estate practice, are arguing. They know that they and their staff need software training if they are to move forward with their plans. Their goal is to handle their growing volume of work with less of their own time and without adding to staff. They are going to start by automating their estate planning documents.
"Do you really think we will get our money's worth if we all drive into the city and spend a whole day sitting in lectures?" asks Kim. "Of course we need to know how to use the new stuff, but can't we learn it from a book or a CD?"
Pat looks Kim in the eyes. "Sure, you could pick up most of it from the book and by trial and error, but wouldn't even you miss some key points?"
"Computer training classes can be so boring," sighs Kim. "And you never use most of what they try to teach you anyway."
"You've got a point there. We could try to get a consultant to come out to our office and show us what we actually need to know, but wouldn't that cost a fortune?"
"Don't you think they'd have a CD that everyone could work through at their own speed?" asks Kim. "You know that Lee needs to go over something new two or three times but Marsha just does it once and she's got it."
"That's the problem. In a training class, you actually do things with the software. With a CD you just watch. And we won't know if our people will work through all the lessons on the CD. How will we know if they've learned what they need?"
Avoiding the Pitfalls
Their frustration about training illustrates the pitfalls and dilemmas you face when weighing your training options. You know that you will pay a hidden or not-so-hidden price if you and others in your office are not adequately trained for something new. But you are also conscious of the costs of training, both in downtime and dollars.
We polled some experts in the field of computer training for law offices and a practicing lawyer about training. What emerged are characteristics of both good and not-so-good training, pointers that will help you get the most value for your investment of time and money.
One of the reasons that good training is hard to come by is that lots of moving parts have to be coordinated for it to be effective. Everything from defining what people actually need to learn to the best choice of training methods to the relationship that the instructor has with the students need to be in place or the training may be ineffective.
Focus on What You Really Need
Start with the students in mind. The best transfer of knowledge occurs when you focus the training on what students need or want to know in order to be successful at their jobs.
Adriana Linares (firstname.lastname@example.com) owns a professional training company that works regularly with firms large and small. Linares advises: "Put together a list of 12 -20 single most important things that anyone in the office has to know. I rely heavily on the office manager. Usually the attorneys don't know what all these things are."
According to Linares, "Many of the problems that occur with computers are the result of no training or poor training. You don't hear this very often though; it's easier to blame faulty technology and strange bugs and glitches. Why don't you hear more about the need for technology training? First, proper training is hard to come by. Training needs to focus on skills that the user actually needs to know, and be delivered by a trusted and likable leader."
Barron Henley, (email@example.com) who works with firms on document assembly, document management and litigation support, points to these important areas of inquiry: "I try to learn a lot about what they're doing now so I can point out the areas in which the new technology will help them. I ask them what their feelings are beforehand. What are they sure they're going to hate about this? What awful things have they heard about it? If they're reluctant, resistant, don't want to do it, then tell me specifically why. I make sure the training specifically addresses those issues raised. As they taught us in law school, you can't win an argument unless you directly address the arguments contra."
If you are going to work with a professional trainer, be sure the trainer understands what is truly important for the people in your office. The trainer should assist you in identifying these tasks and competencies. As familiar as you may be with your operation, you do not know everything about it, let alone everything that will be important to know when you have new software in place.
The Power of Task-Based, Relevant Training
Beyond knowing what your training should cover, you need to be sure that it will actually work. Most successful training has two vital characteristics. It must be task-based and relevant. Dr. Kerry Hubick, LLM, PhD of Victoria, Australia, who has tried various approaches to learning software, notes: "I have always found that learning the functions of software is best done when you have something you want to create i.e. a problem to solve…. Training is very artificial, and I usually end up trying to stay awake when put into an artificial training situation." No doubt he received generic training – "one size fits all" – that failed to address how he needed to use the software.
Seth Rowland, (firstname.lastname@example.com) who trains and consults on document assembly, expert systems and practice management software, observes: "The end-users need to have task-oriented training around the tasks they will typically be expected to do, using tutorial samples of the type of work they do." Dan Livingston (email@example.com), who does training and develops materials for LexisNexis, points out: "The bulk of people are very visual. If you show them a specific task, they are willing to follow along."
As you consider your training options, do not make the mistake of putting all your staff through the advanced training needed only by those who are to be your experts or power users. Rowland makes a distinction between "power-user/leadership" training and "end-user" training: "Each office needs a power user who knows what the software can do and how it can do it. That person needs extensive training, either through a formal training program or through an extensive self-study program. This training, however, is not required for the typical end-user, and in fact may be counterproductive." Livingston looks at where each student is on the Bell curve, dividing them into three groups. "At the low end, students have a hard time keeping up. At the high end, they pick it up so quickly they become bored."
Ideally you would have separate training sessions for each group, but economics usually rule that out. So you need to balance the needs of students in each of the groups, possibly providing extra attention for some and challenging others with independent exercises.
Be sure the training is placed in context. Students need to understand that it is relevant. Rowland emphasizes: "There is no avoiding the basic program training: how to start the program, how to create and modify files, and how to save the work, accompanied by an overview of what the program can do. Beyond that, however, scenario-based training with a list of tips, accompanied by a task-oriented cheat sheet, will provide the most value."
Not all of the training should be task-based. The big picture has its place. According to Henley, "The biggest problem I see with technology is underutilization. Most of that arises from a lack of awareness of what's 'in there.' One of the main functions of training is to create awareness. Some of it sticks and some of it doesn't, but in my experience it's pretty hard to predict what will resonate with each student. The only way to identify the features most useful to people is to show them everything. They'll figure out what is most useful to them and then you can spend one-on-one time with those individuals exploring and expanding upon those particular features."
What Makes a Good Instructor
Successful training is about the relationship between the instructor and the students. Linares points out: "Technology is social. It is not technical. A good trainer needs to understand people as well as technology, and a good trainer has to communicate in a way that the average person can actually understand." She goes on to say: "A great trainer is like a great bartender. A great bartender knows the people in the bar and knows all that is going on. Like the bartender a great trainer makes you feel comfortable. You trust you won't be wasting your time in the training."
Rowland reinforces the importance of a positive social relationship between trainer and students: "Food, time, and appreciation, in that order. You need food, to get them into the training room. Food is social, and breaks down barriers. You need to give them the time to study and learn. So often, users are not able to clear their decks to focus on the material being taught. An early morning session, a lunch and learn, or a late afternoon series of seminars lets the users get their work done and have the time to study. Finally appreciation is the capping element. Someone has to appreciate their efforts to learn. This can be as simple as, "you learned how to do…in the class, that's great. I appreciate the time you spent to put your class to productive use."
Motivating Students
Students need to be motivated, participate and complete the training process for it to work. While self-paced training tools can be cost-effective, they work only if students commit to use them, complete the program and can use of what they have learned. Whether you choose a more formal, structured instructor-led training or a less formal, unstructured or self-paced training, you need a means of assessing what people have learned. Knowing that they will be assessed, that they are accountable for the material, provides an important form of motivation.
Self-taught approaches run the gamut from a tutorial manual, to an interactive CD, to Web-based computer training, to trial and error assisted by the Help button. Any one of these approaches, or a combination of several, may be effective for a given student. But what works for one student may fail for another. You need to assess student progress and mastery not only to ascertain that the training options are effective but also to identify which options work best for each student.
Instructor-led approaches can check on whether students are "getting it" continuously through questions and answers. They can be delivered in person or online in the form of videoconferencing, webinars, individual instruction or classes. Each of these approaches has its own advantages and drawbacks.
What Makes Online Training Work
Linares says that most people would be good candidates for instructor-led online training. Among the exceptions are "beginners who lack any frame of reference." She notes that it is especially important for an instructor to observe beginners who are learning something entirely new to make sure they are not left behind. It is harder for the trainer to teach online. The trainer does not know who may have tuned out. Without eye contact, it is more difficult to tell when the pace may be too fast or too slow.
Rowland frequently leads online trainings. In his experience, "Online training is usually one-on-one, where the instructor acts as a guide to a single trainee, working them through a series of tasks designed to cover a range of aspects of the particular program being trained on whether it be HotDocs, Time Matters, or Word. Others may observe the session, but the focus in on the trainee."
He identifies the type of material best suited to webinars - online training for larger groups: "Webinars, by contrast, are for a group of people, done on the lecture model. They are usually narrowed to a discrete topic, accompanied by a step-by-step guide and training manual, and followed by a Question and Answer session. Webinars are very good for narrow topics or refresher courses. The proof is in the pudding; if at the end of the training session, you walk away with some knowledge you did not possess before, the training was worthwhile. That knowledge may be an awareness of capabilities of the program. You should not expect to walk away from a Webinar with 100% recall of everything trained; the goal of good online training is exposure, not repetition."
For successful online training Henley suggests that all students have computers in front of them and that the instructor's screen be projected. He also recommends that students use headsets during the class. If speakerphones are used they should be of high quality. Lastly, a fast internet connection is essential to prevent delays. Henley prefers online trainings for one-on-one sessions and in-person training for groups. "If I'm there in person, I walk around the room and see how people are doing. In that manner, I can make sure they're staying with me and I can spot people who are stuck and unstick them even if they remain silent."
Effective Training in a Nutshell
The worst training option is no training at all. "I wish we would have taken the time to do the training. Why didn't we see that two months ago?" That is a lament Livingston has heard from law firm partners. In selecting training for you or your firm, consider this summary of the experts' advice.
Both live and computer based training are similar to other adult learning situations. People need feedback, rewards and accountability for the training to work. The best training has practical value. It is task-based. Students participate and complete the training process.
Your training checklist should include these points:
1. Plan the training around the specifics of what the students need to learn for their jobs.
2. Make sure the training is relevant and task-based.
3. Use a trainer who knows how to put people at ease and engage them in the training process.
4. Motivate the students to ensure that they are accountable for what they learn.
Think through your training options and choose what will serve you best within your budget. Your goal is to make sure that everyone owns what is learned and uses it after the training. In the end, good training makes your life easier and your work more efficient. It should make computing more enjoyable. As Rowland says, "At the end of a good session, you should want to fire up the software program, and take the Ferrari out for a spin."

His Last Fight
In Morocco, Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine's final novel about Agoun'chich, the legendary Berber figure, was not published until seven years after the author's death. Nowadays, however, the poète maudit has risen to become an icon of the Berber renaissance, writes Regina Keil-Sagawe
"Cacti in endless variety appear in the early morning, lining both sides of the arid, stony road hacked through the solid earth's crust. Stunted, dusty argan trees, bottle green, but tinted yellow by the still unripe amber fruit, stretch their sun and storm-twisted silhouettes against the sky. Thorny trees, stubborn, defeated a thousand times, a thousand times to rise again. It's a resistance that can never be completely broken …"
High Noon in the deep south. It's a macabre Western he has bequeathed to us, Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine (1941-1995), the Moroccan Rimbaud, a tribal saga from the Anti-Atlas Mountains woven around the legendary figure of Agoun'chich.
The hero, a lonesome rider, travelling the rugged mountains of southern Morocco, a solitary avenger, a man of honour, who roams an archetypal landscape on the trail of the clan of his sister's murderer. A landscape that from time immemorial has been riven by poverty and famine, torn by bloody vendettas, by feuding, slavery, superstition, violence and ignorance - a landscape as close to hell as to heaven …
"His ancestors had predicted that he would be accompanied by the dead wherever he went; escape was impossible."
Agoun'chich the hunted hunter, spending his nights in caves, holy shrines and old cemeteries, is the messenger of a past that manifests itself in hallucinations and dream visions, in encounters with spirits and demons.
In parts the novel reads like a travel guide as we journey through the mythic, archaic south, around Tafraout, Tiznit and Taroudant, the area where Khaïr-Eddine grew up and which he evokes in all his work, though nowhere in such a riveting, vivid, yet touching and moving way as in Légende et vie d'Agoun'chich.
It was his seventh and last novel, though the first to be written in Morocco – between 1979 and 1983 – after decades of exile.
"How delicious the jug of whey dusted with ground thyme after the heavy wines of distant lands!"
Personal recollections and collective memory, public history and private biography blend together in a collage of the south. And already in the 1930's – the period when the action proper begins – the south is carrying the stigmata of the exodus and migration from the land, emigration and the (painful) contact with (colonial) modernity.
Khaïr-Eddine writes extravagantly and vividly, capturing the language and traditions of the Berber, describing their daily customs, festivals, creation stories and origin myths, telling tales of the lives of saints such as Sidi Hmad ou Moussa or Lalla t'I'azza T'asemlalt, or of legendary and fabulous heroes such as Hmad ou Namir, with whom Agoun'chich identifies.
"My house was a star and I was Hmad ou Namir, a genius … I was of the stuff of the stars … my body soaked the earth with its sweat, because I worked in heavenly exile …"
The exile that awaits Agoun'chich at the end of the novel is nothing less than heavenly. What starts off as a picturesque on-the-road (or rather, off-the-road) and slightly surreal novel, increasingly becomes a record of a clash of civilisations, the brutal collision with colonial power which increasingly forces Agoun'chich, the "king of the mountains", the soul of the south, onto the defensive the farther he travels to the north.
When at the end his beloved mule, his only companion, is run down by a truck, his last fight (alluded to in the German title), the details of which are left to the readers imagination, is just about to begin.
"On the very same day, he buried his weapons beside his mule and boarded the bus to Casablanca."
One thing is certain: it isn't a fight that can be won with weapons, and certainly not in the mountains – it is a clash of cultures.
The entire novel, and one cannot escape the feeling that this is Khaïr-Eddine's artistic legacy, is really a part of this fight, and the fact that it was not published until 2002 in Casablanca, eighteen years after its first publication in Paris and seven years after the author's death, shows that Agoun'chich and along with him the ancient, constantly-threatened Berber culture – to which around 50-60% of the population of Morocco belong – really is as possessed of the qualities of resistance and regeneration as the above-mentioned argan trees, symbols of the Moroccan south.
He postulates this in the early years and practices it himself in countless texts, beginning with Agadir, his brilliant debut novel, which won the Prix des Enfants Terribles, the prize initiated by Cocteau, in Paris in 1967. The writer of Légende et vie d'Agoun'chich seems at first sight to have nothing in common with the rebellious "linguistic guerrilla".
However, although the novel does reflect the return to narrative which characterised the 1980's, which indeed was so typical for his generation (Tahar Ben Jelloun being just one example), nevertheless, the theoretical passages, do contain much that is reminiscent of views expressed in Souffles (1966-1972), the avant-garde literary and cultural magazine founded by Khaïr-Eddine and others, including Abdellatif Laâbi and Mustapha Nissaboury, and which, before it fell victim to the censor, was vehement in its calls for a "decolonisation of the consciousness".
In other words, for a reassessment of Arabo-Berber folk culture, which arguably had been even more damagingly affected by the purism of the Arabo-Islamic mainstream than it had by French colonial domination.
"My world is buried like my mule"
So says Agoun'chich before he sets off for Casablanca. Khaïr-Eddine, the eloquent déterreur who liked to see himself in the role of the ostracised, outlaw poet, was one of the first to resurrect it – and did so by swimming against the tide of his own times.
Nowadays the poète maudit has risen to become an icon of the Berber renaissance, a renaissance which, for the past five years, has even had state support in the form of the IRCAM (Institut Royal pour la Culture Amazighe), the royal institute for the promotion of Amazigh (Berber) culture.
IRCAM has set itself the task of smoothing the way to a global future for the three-thousand-year-old culture, a "culture which, like bread and water, is to be shared with one's travelling companions."
The writer would surely have approved.

Obsolete, Confederate, Union and State Issued Currency - Items tagged as "Pickup tag"
During the Civil War the Confederate States of America issued their own currency as did each individual state. Some Counties, Businesses and cities also issued their own scrip before the Federate Government took over the printing of all monies after the Rebellion. The northern states had the same practice of each locale printing their own money. The term Obsolete covers all notes printed during the Civil War as well as all the ones preceding. This category of Brandywine General Store covers the entire spectrum of obsolete notes.

You can find special-purpose vehicles for almost every task of landscape gardening – from riding lawn mowers to equipment trailers. These vehicles are normally designed for relatively flat and level fields, so an operator confronting a steep slope can pose a real challenge. A solution to this problem is a system similar to auto-leveling systems found in combine harvesters. For mowers, the chassis and mower unit remain parallel to the ground's surface while the operator pod stays level. The result is safer and more comfortable mowing on slopes. However, maintaining traction on slopes presents a greater challenge.
The LinsiTrak's operator sits vertically in the seat even on a 45° slope. But the big news lies with the machine's hydrostatic drive.
When Müller Landmaschinen, Bonndorf, Germany, developed and launched the LinsiTrak system, the target was a versatile tractor for landscape gardening that maintains its maneuverability even on steep grades. Werner Müller, general manager, said tt was clear from the beginning that only a hydraulic drive could master this challenge. No off-the-shelf solution existed, and after initial trials proved disappointing, Müller recruited Bosch Rexroth as a partner in 2006.
The major challenge was to distribute the appropriate amount of driving power to each of the four wheels at all times. This is not possible using conventional differentials on a slope because the wheels not in contact with the ground will always spin. A locking differential is not an option, either, because the wheels rotate at identical speeds. Consequently, turning would tear up the turf because the wheel traveling on the outer arc of a turn rotates at the same speed as the inner wheel.
Bosch Rexroth offered a better hydrostatic drive concept with its High-Efficiency Traction control (HET). But even that design did not exactly match the requirements for the LinsiTrak. Normally, an HET drive, with one variable-displacement pump each in two circuits, will drive two hydraulic motors connected in series. Power distribution in this case depends entirely on drive torque because pressure splitting is based on the traction at each wheel. But, again, wheels on the uphill side of the vehicle will always spin.
The LinsiTrak contains three variable displacement axial piston pumps — one for driving wheels on the left side, one for the right side, and one for implements. All three pumps are accessible from a single location at the rear of the machine.
Ready for the slopes
To modify the HET concept for operation on a transverse slope, Müller pursued a new design for the LinsiTrak. He explained, "We now use two separate HET circuits in the vehicle; each contains one A10VG variable-displacement pump, two MCR wheel motors, and an HET control block, all from Bosch Rexroth." The A10VG pump is available in four standard sizes with maximum displacements from 18 to 63 cc/rev and maximum flows of 72 to 189 lpm at pressure to 300 bar (350 intermittently).
One pump circuit drives the left side of the vehicle, and the other the right. This is a key feature of the LinsiTrak because the pump output differential can balance power distribution on both sides of the vehicle.
Bosch Rexroth also provides its BODAS RC 36-20 control unit to automatically regulate the output of both pumps based on the steering radius. Each pump delivers the exact volume of fluid required by the hydraulic motors. When the vehicle travels around a curve, the pump for the motors at the outside of the curve always provides proportionately more fluid than to the inside wheels. In addition to the hydrostatic drive, the electronics also control all the vehicle's other functions, so the LinsiTrak has no mechanical levers, no clutch, and no chain.
A money saver
A vehicle like the LinsiTrak is generally used by municipal road maintenance departments. The LinsiTrak runs for 10 hr from a single tank of fuel, which means that large areas can be worked without interruption. Although its power output exceeds that of comparable vehicles, it is more efficient in operation.
MCR radial-piston motors allow easy freewheeling, an important element of Bosch Rexroth's High Efficiency Control drive.
On the road, with the series connection active, fuel consumption would normally increase sharply when speed exceeds 40 km/hr. This is because each wheel traces a slightly different curve during travel and causes continuous application of pressure without a load actually being applied. To avoid this, the operator can select from several operating modes for the LinsiTrak's hydrostatic drive system. The series connection is disabled for on-road operation. In this mode, only the rear wheel motor in each circuit provides propulsion. Power for forward travel is applied entirely at the rear wheels, providing high traction during acceleration.
In contrast, hydrostatic braking with LinsiTrak acts almost exclusively on the front wheels. This is especially important when travelling downhill because weight shifting to the front axle improves the effect of braking at the front wheels. When travelling forward on flat surfaces, the front wheels simply freewheel in the hydraulic circuit. Driving wheels individually in this way saves fuel.
A proprietary HET valve from Rexroth thus disables the series connections and applies only the required amount of pressure to the front wheels. This active or inactive series mode option ensures that the drive is easy on the environment at all times and under all circumstances. The HET valve also provides a third option, its offset mode. The offset mode changes the track (distance) between the front and rear wheels. So instead of following directly behind the front wheels, the rear wheels will roll either outside or inside the track of the front wheels. This is useful when traveling over ground that is sensitive to compaction.
Motors contribute to success
Freewheeling in the MCR radial-piston motor is achieved by connecting its A and B ports to zero pressure while also applying a pressure of 2 bar to the housing. The housing pressure forces pistons into the cylinder block, which causes the motor's cam rollers to lose contact with the cam thus allowing free rotation of the shaft.
If the motors are used in a closed circuit, the same hydraulic fluid continuously flows between the pump and the motor, which could lead to overheating. A flushing valve option in the MCR motor replaces hydraulic fluid in the closed circuit with fluid from the reservoir.
When the hydraulic motor operates under load, the flushing valve opens and takes a fixed flow of fluid through an orifice from the low-pressure side of the circuit. This flow is then fed to the motor housing and back to the reservoir, and normally through an oil cooler.
To charge the low-pressure side of the circuit, cool fluid is drawn from the reservoir by the power unit's charge pump and fed to the pump inlet through a check valve. The flushing valve ensures a continuous renewal and cooling of the hydraulic fluid. The flushing feature incorporates a relief valve which is used to maintain a minimum boost pressure and operates at a standard setting of 14 bar.
MCR motors also have a two-speed option to drive a vehicle at high speed under low load. This is accomplished through an integrated valve that directs hydraulic fluid to only one half of the motor while continuously re-circulating the fluid in the other half. This reduced displacement mode reduces the flow required for a given speed, thereby improving efficiency.
Bosch Rexroth offers spool valve that provides smooth switching to reduced displacement while the vehicle is on the move. The spool valve requires either an additional sequence valve or electroproportional control to operate in its soft-shift mode.
The drive for control
Of course, hydraulics is used for more than propulsion, braking, and steering. LinsiTrak uses another axial piston pump to power implements such as mower and mulcher blades or sweepers. Several attachment points are located between the vehicle's front and rear axles to match a variety of implements, which can be attached without tools. As with the HET control drive, the LinsiTrak's power take-off provides maximum energy efficiency from its stepless speed control that allows the vehicle's engine to run at its most efficient speed.
In spite of its many functions and elaborate technology, the LinsiTrak is a compact and easy-to-steer unit. Even on 45° slopes, the driver's seat is always horizontal, thanks to an automatic tilt feature. Inclinometers continuously transmit the angle of the vehicle's orientation to the electronic control, which then keeps the seat level using hydraulics.
Multiple functions for the various work tools are also implemented through electronic control. Any fine adjustments can be made using a color display from the driver's seat. By the time these functions are programmed the LinsiTrak will also have adopted its final form – the roll bar has to be slightly higher, the vehicle is to be a total of about twenty centimeters shorter and an optional cab will be available.
Information on the LinsiTrak was provided by Werner Müller, general manager of Müller Landmaschinen.

A British Santa has been suspended from his job after he allegedly told children about the US school massacre and that he was not really Father Christmas.
The man, who worked on a freelance basis at a garden centre in Oxford for 10 years, is alleged to have made the remarks to the children of Wendy and Steven Kennett.
They had taken their children Ryan, 10, Amy, seven, and Katie, six, to the centre on Saturday - paying for each child to meet Santa.
But Wendy Kennett told the Oxford Mail that Santa started talking about the Sandy Hook School shooting after the children had told him they had been good.
She said he replied: "Well there are bad people in the world and bad things happen, like what happened to those children in America," before Steven Kennett stopped him.
It was then that Santa asked to talk to Ryan alone and after a chat, he ran out crying "Santa told me he is not real, it's just you and dad".
Wendy Kennett said: "I was totally furious. I now had three children in floods of tears."
A spokesman for the garden centre confirmed the family had complained about the remarks.
"This man was a freelancer and he has been suspended from his job for the season," he said.
"He has worked for us for 10 years without any complaint and we will be sitting down with him in the future to discuss the incident.
"At the end of the day the customer is upset. We have apologised for that and we have taken steps and the family have been kept informed."
He added the garden centre had arranged for the family to go to London to visit the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland attraction.

Birding book review: "Bird Watcher's Bible" good to have on hand, maybe not in the bush
You know a new bird-watching book is a good one — in this case, "Bird Watcher's Bible," (National Geographic, $40) edited by longtime bird artist Jonathan Alderfer — when you mention it to a fellow bird-watcher co-worker, and he immediately drops what he's doing, races over to your office, and the two of you spend some guilty-pleasure moments flipping through the book, exclaiming out loud at the photos and calling out birds you've both recently seen.
Yeah, we know we're not normal, and we're OK with that.
Alderfer has done a lovely job with this big, heavy guide, subtitled, 'A Complete Treasury: Science, Know-How, Beauty, Lore," interspersing captivating photographs with art, fantastic bits of trivia and history, anatomy lessons, tips on becoming a birder or places to go if you're already one.

An Arizona House committee has given initial approval to bills cutting taxes by millions of dollars for companies that expand or invest in new startups and also includes a 2 percent tax deduction for the self-employed valued at $58 million a year.
The first bill creates a tax credit for insurance companies that invest in a new high-tech fund overseen by the Arizona Commerce Authority. Republican House Speaker Andy Tobin's bill gives insurers a credit against their premium taxes of up to $10 million in the budget year beginning July 1 and $20 million in the next two years.
The second bill that passed the Commerce Committee Wednesday lowers the property tax rate for businesses that expand and add jobs. The value of that tax break isn't yet known.

Small Comb - Meadow
Small Comb - Meadow
Combing your hair with a handmade comb is a different experience. It reminds you of days past, when life was a bit simpler and we knew where the things in our life came from. Cherry wood is a hard wood and is strong enough to untangle your knots without a plastic coating.
Each comb is about 2.5 inches long, 2.25 inches tall and .25 inches thick.
The edges of this piece are burned black. After each piece is cut out it is sanded and oiled to create a soft and smooth finish.
Made out of solid cherry wood. Handmade in Pennsylvania from local, sustainably harvested cherry wood. Due to the handmade and natural nature of my work, the wood grain of the comb you receive will likely vary slightly from the wood grain of the hair comb(s) in the pictures.
The wood is treated with food safe mineral oil, the same oil you'll find on wooden cutting boards. It is not stained or sealed with plastic. Re-oil as you wish to keep the wood soft and cared for. A coconut/beeswax blend is recommended, however mineral oil is fine too!
