I tried to post a comment on the "I Support Israel! " thread, but was unable to (perhaps I'm too new to have access to this?), but I just wanted to say that as a person of mixed heritage (Jewish and Native American), I appreciate Christians like you. I respect and admire your obvious faith, and commitment to your beliefs. Thank you for standing up for us!.... and, FYI I don't know anyone in Israel who would not appreciate your support! I believe you are doing the right thing, and thank you for it... P.S. Cool Pic

Next, there is the 500 degree wax draining process.
the 3 week mold curing time.
the slow heating of the mold.
the use of dead sea salt for a bronze flux
the use of ash wood for the handle which
should be modled after the cave wall painting in egypt.
you will need to make bibilcal glue.
and use lambskin leather for the wrap.
wow...You know what?
I maybe it would be just easier to fly me out to Italy to do a presentation...
which i can do if you have access to a bronze forge...
You can print out my research posted here on the forum and use it in your report
First a bit of a warning...
The Duckbill axe, with it's interlocking holes, was by far the most difficult form ever made in the entire bronze age.
It took me over 6 months to figuire it out.
and that was after building a forge and all the tools to make a working Bronze casting shop. (9 more months)
The duckbill was done with a lost wax mold.
So you do not need to do the "sculpey step" unless you are trying to copy an original artifact.
Instead You can get a brick of wax and hand carve an original.
Do not use a wood core! Wood makes the bronze erupt like a volcano!
Make sure to melt a long DRY rod of sand stone inside the wax brick, that you carve your form around...
This rod will become the main hole for you axe handle and it will not explode!
I'm Giacomo, an Italian student of Archaeology at University of Pisa.
I found your work on the duckbill axe very interesting.
Since I'm writing the thesis for my BA, that is about the Duckbill Axe in the Middle Bronze Age in the Levant (Syria and Palestine), I guess it would be great if I could make an axe by myself. It could bring my research to an higher level.
Do you think I can do it? Was it hard to find the wax, the bronze, the wood? What about the Super Sculpey Firm? In which kind of store did you find it? What tools do I need to make this weapon?
Sorry for the amount of questions, but I've just read your work and as soon as I finished I thought: "wow, it's so cool. I wanna try to make my own axe!"

There were many influence books for original D&D. Many of them are out of print or only just being brought back into print. When I talk with people on this site, it is amazing to me that many of them have never heard of the books or the authors. I find this a shame as most of them are a great deal of fun to read. I will be starting this with the books by Fritz Leiber and his creations, Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser.
Fafhrd and the Grey Mousers are loners by nature. Fafhrd
I know that many of you only know of D&D as it is the king of the roost, however back in the dark days of Role-playing circa 1975-1980 there were other games, some good, some not so good and some of them have influences on things to this day.
This particular game was named Arduin and it appeared in 1977 about the same time as the first edition monster manual. Yes the monster manual was the first of the AD&D books to appear. Anyway Arduin was a setting written by a man named David
I consider myself old school about a lot of things in gaming. I grew up putting everything to paper and keeping copious records of my games. I found my first player by advertising in a gaming magazine. He had some friends and we were off and running. My major tabletop group I met while working in a game store and at least three of them are still with me after thirty years of gaming.
I find myself amazed by the progress of technology and how it has changed the gaming scene. The proliferation
This is written for the benefit of all dungeon style adventurers. It is somewhat tongue in cheek and old school in style but should be of benefit to dungeoners. Please feel free to add to the list.

This is a continuation of my impressions about online chat from the July 14 blog. Now that I have some additional experience doing a chat game I have taken some additional steps to try to improve and speed up the experience. I decided to use maps and posted them to the group site and had everybody reference them for combat. This is working out ok. I have the maps gridded so the players can at least have a common reference. There are a couple of drawbacks one is , the players have far more

Remarkable Book Cover Designs by Chip Kidd
I'm going to admit that the reason I first read Michael Chrichton's Jurrasic Park in the seventh grade was all because of my fascination with dinosaurs and the really cool skeletal T-Rex book cover design. 10 years past that, I now find out that it was in fact none other than Chip Kidd, the avid graphic designer and writer responsible for a plethora of other great book covers. His design work for Knopf and Pantheon, imprints of Random House, have contributed greatly to book cover packaging over the past few decades. Really loving the illustrations and side text bars in his work.

Breast Cancer: What Is Chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy (chemo) medication can be used to shrink (and possibly eliminate) a tumor before surgery and to kill cancerous cells that remain in the body after surgery. Chemo is also used to stop cancerous cells that travel beyond the tumor's primary site in the breast.
It might be right for you if:
You have invasive breast cancer that is hormone receptor-negative, your tumor is hormone receptor-positive and you choose to have chemo along with hormone therapy, your tumor is large and needs to be shrunk prior to surgery (this is called neoadjuvant therapy), you've had surgery and want to kill unseen cancer cells, or your cancer has spread and is now growing in other locations, such as your bones, liver or lungs.
What you should know:
In most cases, chemo is administered intravenously in a procedure known as an infusion. Some chemo medications are taken in the form of a pill, a liquid or by injection. It's important to stay on the chemo schedule your healthcare provider has prescribed. If you skip a treatment, cancer cells could regrow. Also, strong chemo can reduce the number of infection-fighting white blood cells called neutrophils in your body and put you at risk for infection. Avoiding infection is important because it can disrupt your chemo schedule and also lead to life-threatening problems. Your healthcare provider may prescribe medication that boosts white blood cells to prevent infection.

If you buy a new car or a used car from a dealership located in another state or if you are parking to another state, you will require the services of auto moving companies. Auto moving companies are those firms that specialise in the transportation of different types of automobiles from one place to another. These companies work with experienced drivers in order to render efficient services to their clients. Besides, virtually quite a greater percentage of the companies are covered by one car insurance company or the other. These companies render different kinds of services to the clients.
Below are some of the services that they can render you if you want to transport your car to another place.
Professional Driver Services
In this type of service, the auto transport company can provide a professional and well trained driver to help you drive your car to the new location you are moving to. There are even some individual professional drivers that are not attached to any auto transport company that can render this type of service to you.
Using a professional driver is a good option if you are not moving to a very long distance. The service is also time-saving because it is a direct movement. Normally, open carrier or even enclosed auto carrier do stop in their locations at different places in order to drop some cars before continuing to the final location. This can lead to a waste of time. But if you employ a professional driver who is trained to drive for a long distance, there is no stoppage in the course of the journey. Another advantage is that you can conveniently add some of your personal belonging in your car and join the driver in the journey if you wish. If you have family and your car can accommodate everybody, they can join in the car too.
Another advantage of this type of service especially if you join in the car is that you will be able to monitor how the driver is driving your car. Some drivers can be reckless especially when they are driving another person's car. It is also a secure means of transporting your car. There is no how anything will get lost in your car if you are involved in the journey.
However, there are some disadvantages associated with this type of services. It can be expensive if the journey is too far. Besides paying for the services of the driver, you will also pay for the fuel for the transportation. The journey may be too long that the driver has to sleep over in a hotel before continuing the journey. You will also provide the money for the accommodation and the feeding. This will cost you more.
Another disadvantage of this type of service is that there may not be any insurance coverage provided except it is included in the agreement. It is just like when you are driving your own car. Also see: Using an Auto Carrier to Move your Car.
Using an Auto Carrier to Move your Car
An auto transportation company makes use of auto carriers in transporting cars from one place to another. There are two types of auto carriers available, namely, open auto carrier and enclosed auto carrier.
Open auto carrier is a type of auto carrier that can carrier many vehicles at the same time in an open vehicle. This type of auto carrier is very cheap and that is why many people go for it. However, it has also some disadvantages which you have to consider before opting for it.
As you can decipher from the name, the vehicles are not covered and so they are exposed to the element of weather such as rain, snow, hail, and even dust. So, it is not all that a secure means of transporting cars. The cars can easily be scratched. If you have a luxury car, you should use this type of carrier in transporting it. Another disadvantage of open carrier is that it is time consuming. As the auto carrier is carrying a great number of vehicles at the same time, the movement will be very sluggish. Besides, it can stop at many locations in order to drop some of the cars before it gets to the final destination. So, if you need your car urgently, you may look for another alternative or employ for the services weeks before you will need the car.
Enclosed Auto Carriers
This is a direct opposite of the open auto carrier. Here only a few vehicles are carried by the auto carrier but in an enclosed container. The number of cars to be carried depends on the amount paid by the client. However, it cannot carry more than five vehicles at the same time. If you have the money, you can transport one car in a container. The problem with this type of carrier is that it is very expensive. It is not everybody that can afford it. However, the cars are protected from the element of weather and the movement is faster than that of open auto carrier since only a few vehicles are being carried.
There are some airplanes that can transport car. The auto transport company has to liaise with the airplane management for the transportation of cars through their airplanes. It is the most secure means of auto transport and the fastest. If you need your car urgently or even the same day you can opt for this service. However, it is very expensive. Only the big heads in the society can afford such services. It is a good option if you are attending a conference and you will like to use your car.
Train Racks
Automobiles can also be moved through trains. Moving a vehicle through the train can be very expensive, fast and secure but it cannot be compared with the airplane in any of these aspects.
If you are moving a car to a foreign country, then going through the high sea via the ship is the best alternative. The airplane can also be used but it is extremely expensive.

A masterly new translation of one of the first great modernist novels
In the only novel by one of the German language's greatest poets, a young man named Malte Laurids Brigge lives in a cheap room in Paris while his belongings rot in storage. Every person he sees seems to carry their death with them, and with little but a library card to distinguish him from the city's untouchables, he thinks of the deaths, and ghosts, of his aristocratic family, of which he is the sole living descendant. Suffused with passages of lyrical brilliance, Rilke's semi-autobiographical novel is a moving and powerful coming-of-age story.

New Gift from Alumni Robert A. and Penny Grossman Fox Expands Fox Leadership Program at Penn
Thanks to a generous boost from its founders, the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania will be able to prepare even more students for lives of leadership and service.
The Fox Leadership Program already engages thousands of students each year with its "study and serve" mission, accomplished through a combination of coursework, advising, events, and service experiences. Robert A. Fox, C'52, and Penny Grossman Fox, ED'53, established the program in 1999 and permanently endowed it with a gift of $10 million in 2007. Now they have made a new gift of $5 million to expand the program and establish four new scholarships in the School of Arts and Sciences, bringing their total support of the program to more than $28 million. In addition to providing programmatic support, the Foxes created three endowed chairs in the School of Arts and Sciences.
"Bob and Penny have a tremendous passion for giving Penn undergraduates unique opportunities to explore both service and leadership," said Penn President Amy Gutmann. "They created this program to enable our students to develop and apply their skills in practical and meaningful ways. The value of this approach has become ever more apparent with each passing year. We are so very grateful to Bob and Penny for their vision and their continued generosity, which will benefit students for generations to come."
The Fox Leadership Program offers myriad service and leadership-building activities for undergraduates. These include Fox Fellowships—one- to two-year service and learning experiences at leading non-profit and government agencies—and the Penn in Washington program, which sponsors internships and events for Penn students in the nation's capital. Fox Leadership is also behind University initiatives such as Penn Leads the Vote, a non-partisan, student-led network that has dramatically increased on-campus election turnout; Penn Undergraduates in New Orleans, the largest university-sponsored program from outside the Gulf region continuously providing volunteer services in post-Katrina New Orleans; Youth Education for Success Recess Initiative, which aims to improve the recess experience for students at elementary schools; and Penn MERT, a student-run medical services organization.
"The Fox Leadership Program is among the best in the nation at preparing students for leadership roles in whatever realm they are called to," said Rebecca Bushnell, Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, Thomas S. Gates, Jr. Professor, and Professor of English. "This most recent generous gift from Bob and Penny Fox will take the program to even greater heights."
The new gift will double the number of fully-funded Fox Fellowships, from 50 to 100. Twenty of the new fellowships will be dedicated to opportunities in the nation's capital as part of an expanded Penn in Washington. Another ten of the new Fox Fellows will work on a new initiative—the Penn Program for Opinion Research and Election Studies, headed by John Lapinski, Associate Professor of Political Science and Director, Elections for NBC News.
"The Leadership program, under the direction of John J. DiIulio Jr., the Frederic Fox Leadership Professor of Politics, Religion, and Civil Society, has more than exceeded our expectations," Robert Fox said. "We are happy to enable it to expand and offer even more opportunities to students at Penn."
The Foxes' gift also establishes four new scholarships in the School of Arts and Sciences for students with high financial need from the Philadelphia metropolitan area. The recipients will be known as Frederic Fox scholars, honoring Robert Fox's father.
Robert Fox is the chairman and CEO of R.A.F. Industries Inc., a private investment company that acquires and manages a diversified group of middle market companies located across the United States. He is an emeritus trustee at Penn, and received the University's Alumni Award of Merit in 1999. Penny Fox serves on the boards of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Moore College of Art and Design, and the Pennsylvania Ballet.
In addition to establishing the Fox Leadership Program, the Foxes support a variety of other areas of the University, including Penn Medicine, athletics, and student life.

Near the end of our interview earlier this month, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime jokingly asked me for harder questions. We'd mostly been talking about the ins and outs of the Wii U, but on this final day of the big E3 show, an event that included a big showing by Nintendo's new console, he wanted to joust.
What follows is our exchange, which turned into something unexpected: a consideration of the hardcore gamer, who, in Fils-Aime's mind, is a tough customer to please. Too tough?
You judge...
Me: Why do you think your press conference got a negative response among a lot of our readers who felt there wasn't a lot that was new there, that was that different from what had been shown last year [on Wii U] in demo form?
Fils-Aime: One of the things that, on one hand, I love and, on the other hand, that troubles me tremendously about not only our fanbase but about the gaming community at large is that, whenever you share information, the perspective is, 'Thank you, but I want more.' 'Thank you, but give me more.' I mean, it is insatiable.
"And so for years this community has been asking, 'Where's Pikmin?' 'Where's Pikmin?' 'Where's Pikmin?' We give them Pikmin. And then they say, 'What else?'
"For years, this community have said, 'Damnit Reggie, when you launch, you better launch with a Mario game.' So we launch with a Mario game, and they say, 'So what's more?'
"I have heard people say, 'You know, you've got these fantastic franchises, beyond what you're doing in Smash Bros., isn't there a way to leverage all these franchises?' So we create Nintendo Land and they say, 'Ho-hum, give me more.' So it's an interesting challenge."
Fils-Aime: "One of the things that, on one hand, I love and, on the other hand, that troubles me tremendously about not only our fanbase but about the gaming community at large is that, whenever you share information, the perspective is, 'Thank you, but I want more.' I mean, it is insatiable.
Me: "I think part of it is your fans expect genius from the company. And they got used to Nintendogs, Brain Age, Wii Sports—not all of them necessarily launch games—but you're a hit-driven company that can create phenomenons, and when you guys launch a console, people expect—I expect—to see software that doesn't feel like stuff I necessarily saw the year before, but an evolution and new shocking ideas."
Fils-Aime: "Time out. Time out. Again two different issues. When we show a game like Brain Age or when we show a game like Nintendogs, what's the fan-based community reaction? 'Ho-hum.' Until it sells millions of copies. When we showed Wii Fit on stage.. go back and read your blogs, what was the reaction?"
Me: "You've said this one before. I disagree specifically about Wii Fit. You're right on the other ones. Wii Fit people understood right away."
Fils-Aime: "It's not a question of understanding. I think people understood what we showed. It's the question of, as a gamer, 'Is this for me and something I can get excited about?' And Wii Fit did not get that reaction. And yet 43-million copies around the world, it's a phenomenon. And so I would argue that the gaming community actually is unable to differentiate between a phenomenon and something that is 'ho-hum.'"
Me: "Until they play it."
Reggie: "Until they play it. Until they experience it. Until their friends and their non-gaming associates say, 'Hey, have you seen X?'"
This exchange occurred after Nintendo ran four press conferences for E3, one of them online and the other three in L.A. Four press conferences came and went with lots of Nintendo news, but, seemingly, things missing. Was it the dissatisfaction of gamers? Could Nintendo possibly have done more? Two weeks after E3—just last night—Nintendo held another press conference. This one was full of news for the insatiable appetites of gaming fans.

Today is a historic day, perhaps even more than we can appreciate right now.
This major announcement of the National Soccer Development Centre (NSDC) at the University of British Columbia (UBC) is what Vancouver Whitecaps FC have been waiting to have built for years, and what a difference it's going to make to our club!
In this partnership between Whitecaps FC, the Government of British Columbia, and UBC, we have something here that will benefit all levels of the game, from youth to professional.
We now have a place to call home, a place that will house our men's and women's teams, as well as our Residency, Girls Elite, and other youth development programs.
It starts at the top
Our ownership team have lofty goals for this club and for the sport of soccer, and there has been a need for first-class facilities for some time.
Now, with a proper training centre, Whitecaps FC look to move to the next level as we try to establish ourselves as one of the very best soccer clubs in North America.
Having grass and turf fields and a state-of the-art fieldhouse is going to open many doors on numerous fronts for the game of soccer here.
Our owners have already invested greatly in our Residency and youth programs, so it will be great for our Whitecaps FC youth players – and other BC Soccer players – to be at the same fields as our first team players and to be able to watch them more closely as they try to realize their own dreams of becoming pro players.
Attracting the best
With top facilities we will finally have a firm attraction for top talent to train in Vancouver.
The NSDC will provide a place on the West Coast for Canada's men's, women's, and youth national teams.
We will also be able to attract the top teams from around the world, instead of having to travel to see them. We have seen the likes of Manchester United, Roma, and Benfica come to Vancouver in the past and now we can look forward to again seeing the very best teams here in our home city.
These are exciting times for the club. We're in the midst of a heart-pounding playoff race and we're pumped to have four home matches on the trot and an electric atmosphere created by our fans.
And now we can look forward to moving into a new training home as we enter into another chapter of this club's proud history.
The game is growing, and the 'Caps are more than happy to help plant the seeds.

Ramnit worm variant now dangerous banking malware
The Ramnit worm now supports man-in-the-middle attacks, giving cybercriminals the ability to drain a victim's bank account.
A worm initially deemed a low-level concern by some security firms has morphed into a serious threat to the banking industry.
Experts say that the cybercriminals behind the Ramnit worm have transformed it into financial-focused malware capable of draining bank accounts, using what may be bits and pieces of the publicly available Zeus malcode to make it more effective.
Ramnit surfaced in 2010 and, according to security experts, initially used an older generation of malicious techniques to infect Microsoft Windows executable files. Once infected, the malware was used to steal saved FTP credentials and browser cookies.
Security researchers at Boston-based desktop security vendor Trusteer Inc. have in recent weeks identified the new attack method built into the Ramnit worm. The added malicious code, which is still being analyzed by Trusteer, is suspected of coming from the Zeus Trojan family. It supports man-in-the-browser attacks, enabling cybercriminals to bypass two-factor authentication, modify Web pages and covertly insert banking transactions.
"Since the Zeus source code is available for free and given the similarities between Zeus' and Ramnit's standard financial approach and configuration format, we suspect the malware authors incorporated parts of Zeus into Ramnit," wrote Trusteer Senior Malware Researcher Ayelet Heyman.
It's unclear if the modified Ramnit malware has been used successfully in attacks in the wild. It has the ability to drain bank accounts while remaining "invisible to both the user and host application," Heyman wrote. Researchers have been closely monitoring earlier versions of Ramnit because certain variants contained a backdoor to await instructions from a remote attacker.
Ramnit was added to the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool in May. It made Microsoft's Top 25 Infections list with more than 52,000 infections. "Ramnit is one of the four parasitic viruses out of the top 10 detected threat families," Microsoft said in a post on its Malware Protection Center blog. Parasitic viruses are an older method of infecting computers. It uses executable files to remain undetectable by the user, but it often causes a machine to be sluggish or crash.
According to Microsoft, the authors of Ramnit have been experimenting with code variations during the past year, building in worm modules to help spread it using USB and network drives. The incorporation of the Zeus code is one of the authors' latest iterations.
Following the leak of the Zeus attack toolkit source code in May, security experts have warned that new Zeus bot operators would surface. In addition, access to the source code gives malicious code writers the ability to make improvements to malware or add features. Earlier this month, the source code of Zeus rival SpyEye was leaked and researchers have discovered merged code, showing malware variants with both SpyEye and Zeus characteristics.

Ken was brutally beaten and shot in the head twice by a career criminal,
who was burglarizing his home.

SodaStream Makes Waves With Provocative New TV Commercial
SodaStream's New Global TV Campaign Takes on 'Big Soda' and Its Bottles
Nov 08, 2012, 01:15 ET
AIRPORT CITY, Israel, Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SodaStream International, Ltd (NASDAQ: SODA), the leading manufacturer and distributor of home carbonation beverage systems, announced today the launch of its first global TV campaign. With the tagline 'If you love the bubbles, set them free,' SodaStream's provocative new television commercial will air today in the US across major broadcast and cable networks, and will later roll out into many of SodaStream's 45 global markets. SodaStream's goal is clear; to make a bold statement to confront "Big Soda" and take market share from the soft drink giants.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121107/NY07412LOGO )
The TV commercial, "The SodaStream Effect," will have a rate card media value estimated over $18 million globally, during the initial twelve week period. The campaign coincides with the launch of "The Source" soda maker designed by celebrated designer Yves Behar, and is part of an integrated marketing effort that includes a new visual identity, logo, branding and tagline.
"The SodaStream Effect is aimed at establishing a strong brand image and distinct lifestyle positioning," stated Ilan Nacasch, CMO of SodaStream. "We are on a mission to empower consumers to make the world a better place by eliminating bottles and cans, and to enjoy bubbles without the bottles."
The campaign has been developed in part by highly acclaimed and influential advertising innovators Alex Bogusky and Rob Schuham of the COMMON agency, a group dedicated to accelerating social change.
The new TV commercial, directed by Daniel Benmayor, showcases the brand's values and promotes sustainable consumption in a unique and dramatic way. The ad shows different scenes of soda bottles disappearing instantaneously as people use the SodaStream soda maker, delivering a powerful message about waste and sustainability. The spot closes with commentary of 'with SodaStream you can save 2000 bottles per year.'
"There are an alarming 460 billion bottles and cans manufactured every year, of which the vast majority – nearly one billion per day- are dumped as waste across parks, oceans and landfills. We challenge the entire beverage industry and its arguably outdated business model, showing people that when you can make soda straight from tap water, there exists a smarter choice," noted CEO of SodaStream Daniel Birnbaum.
The US will be the first market to air the TV commercial, which will soon be supported by a holistic global advertising campaign, Set the Bubbles Free, across television, print, billboard and web advertising platforms. The commercial can be viewed at http://www.sodastream.com/sodastreameffect

ISHFWILFThank you Propaganda for the front row seats! I wore a white shirt and black vest, like Bono! Sang along with him from the floor in front of the stage to ISHFWILF as loud as I possibly could. It was the most fun I ever had at a U2 concert. Maybe I was singing off key because he looked at me kind of funny! I didn't care though, I was grinning ear to ear and having the time of my life!

Zoo TV, Baby!I was 17 years old, living in Nashville, TN. The closest they were playing to me was in Atlanta on March 5, 1992. I felt incredibly lucky to be at that show, as my friend and I had tried to call in to Ticketmaster for tickets and never got through. We ended up driving down to Atlanta on the morning of the show with no tickets and not a whole lot of money, praying someone would sell us tickets for a reasonable price. Scalpers outside the arena were trying to get way more money than we could afford, and we almost gave up. Then a guy came up to us about an hour before the show and said he had to leave due to a family emergency. He sold us his tickets for face value, and they were great seats!!! That show blew me away. I remember screaming my head off when Bono came out at the beginning of Zoo Station, doing that kick that he did in front of one of the big screens. So cool! I have been to at least 2 shows per tour since then and loved them all, but that first show holds a special place in my heart. U2 is the best live band ever.

Job Market
The Kick-Ass Marketing Secret of the Most Successful Job Applicants and EmployeesBy Harrison Barnes on Mar 31,2020
recent posts
You can change your life forever by harnessing the power of persistence. Think about the people in your life, and whether they empower you or hinder you in achieving your goals. You must win at all costs, and persist until you succeed.
Just as a Unique Selling Position (USP) is important to sell a product, your own USP is vital for marketing yourself to potential employers. You must define your USP before even creating your resume, as it comprises the basic product that you are trying to sell in your interview. Focus your USP on a specific niche, for which there is market demand, and make it thoroughly persuasive.
My first job out of law school was working for a federal judge in Northern Michigan. The position did not pay very well, but that did not matter to me at all. I decided I was going to "live it up!"
In this article Harrison discusses the importance of loving your work and also the people who give you work. Work is the most important thing you can have. Without work, everything stops. So respect the work you are doing. Having work is a privilege and this work can lead to more work. You need to respect people who give you work and you need to get work at all costs. It is never good to be without work. Being without work means your skills and value do not currently have a place. Do the work to the best of your ability. The only way to advance is by doing good work and exceeding expectations. Doing good work is crucial to our lives. Make the most of your job and give it your all. The harder you work, the higher you will climb.
In this article Harrison discusses the importance of putting your efforts in the right direction. The most important decision you can make is deciding where you are going to put your effort. If you choose the right field for your efforts, you will frequently be richly rewarded (even if you do not have a lot of skill in the field). When you identify something that the market wants, and provide it, then you can frequently do quite well—even if you are not particularly skilled. It is just a question of being at the right place at the right time and taking action. In your career, very little is more important than where you choose to focus your effort. Nothing is more important than working somewhere with opportunity and where you are being carried away by the wind of a positive economic current.
How to Find Government Jobs (How to Find Federal Government Jobs, How to Find State Government Jobs, How to Find County Government Jobs, and How to Find City Government Jobs)
There are many sources for government jobs, but these jobs receive relatively few applications because they are poorly advertised and for this reason can be much easier to get than private sector jobs. Many people fail to check, or don't even know about, the thousands of government job-related websites that exist. You need to look beyond commercial job boards to find these jobs, that other job seekers may unwittingly overlook.
There is vast potential beneath the surface of each individual person, and it is the same with the job market. Many people fail in there job search because they only pursue one tactic, find nothing, and conclude that there are no jobs available. When looking for a job, you need to go deep beneath the surface, and exhaust every job board, employer website, and other possible avenue in order to get ahead.
Determining whether you are most interested in information, people, places, or things can help you better understand your career and life priorities. Everyone's motivation is different, and their motivation places them in one of these categories. These are deep-seated personality types, among which there is no intermingling, and each has its positive and negative points. You must find a work environment in which your natural inclinations and interests are nourished.
Things will not always go the way that you want them to go, so you must not be discouraged by adversity in your job hunt. When you persist and consistently put forth your best effort, things are much more likely to go in your favor. Also, you must resist others' efforts to undermine your efforts and potential; focus instead on doing everything in your power to fight on and complete the task at hand.
Address your weaknesses, and offset them complementary strengths when they become an issue. You want to be trusted and your weaknesses to be overlooked. When interviewing, you must bring up and address your weaknesses to your employers before bringing up your strengths. Employers are more likely to pay attention to your strengths if they have already been made aware of your weaknesses, and you in turn will have more credibility. You must always be sure to follow up a discussion of your weaknesses with complementary strengths.
In this article Harrison discusses why emotional connections are so important in the workplace. In virtually every company, there are people who are not needed at all but are kept in the jobs due to some emotional connection. In every industry when layoffs occur, generally the first to go are those who do not have an emotional connection to the organization. According to Harrison there is a huge value attached to having emotional connections in your job. The holiday party, invitations to spend time with your boss outside of work, and other similar occasions are extremely important because they are a chance to form an emotional connection with the people you are working with. The emotional connection will take you farther and will last longer than any other sort of connection.
Your reactions to the world around you determine your state of mind and your progress in life. While most people tend to blame others for what is happening to them, you must learn to react in a positive way. You must understand that you usually cannot change the people and things around you, but you can control your reactions to these things; when you choose not to react negatively, you open the door to growth and fulfillment.
There are many different types of suffering that it is important to balance in your life. Physical, psychological, and spiritual suffering are all interconnected, and you must balance them so that you do not experience any one in greater proportion to the others; balancing the suffering in your life will lead you to greater fulfillment.
Understanding what you do for a living is very important for your career. You should understand the generality of your specific profession. You and your career are a product. You need to know where and how to market yourself in the best way possible. You need to be relevant and understand the skills you are offering. Being a relevant product is essential for your success. It's easy to be relevant when you understand what you are doing and what purpose you serve. Being relevant is more than just getting a job. Being relevant also relates to serving the employers with the skills they need. You need to understand your market and what your customers want. This is the way to stay employed, and it is also the means to continual improvement.
To reach the goals to which you aspire, you must compare yourself with people superior to you for motivation. Most people prefer to look at life the way they wish it to be, rather than as it truly is. Move out of your comfort zones and face reality. Don't seek out or compare yourself with the average people around you, as doing so will only mire you in mediocrity rather than push you forward.
You can change almost every aspect of your life through good negotiation. You must view your career in terms of opportunities to negotiate the best possible outcome; when you do this and hone your negotiation skills, you will achieve far more wealth, security, and happiness than would be possible for those who do not negotiate. While negotiation is critical, it must not be overdone; simply realize that there are always more potential opportunities than what might initially be on offer.
Here are 21 pieces of career advice no one ever gives you from well-known career advice expert and legal recruiter Harrison Barnes.
Rather than committing to a career, many people switch jobs and take positions that require completely different skill sets; consequently, they never truly master their primary skills. While there is nothing wrong with changing careers, you must find something and devote yourself to it; many people have succeeded in relatively simple jobs, because they have committed to and mastered their craft. Develop a specialized interest, nurture it, and continually improve at it, and you will find the universe rewarding you.
Being present is crucial to your career's success and longevity. The more that you are present in your career, the more valuable you will be to your employer, and thus the more likely you will be to keep your job. Employers want commitment and presence in their employees, and those possessing such attributes will always prevail over those who do not.
Many people have intuitions about areas in which they would like to improve or things that they would like to avoid. Your intuition is usually correct, and trusting it can help you avoid bad things that might befall others who ignore their intuition. People are all aware, on some level, of the things holding them back, but few people are willing to acknowledge and address these things. Knowledge of your weaknesses and what you should do about them comes from your intuition.
Be supportive of those around you; the more you do this, the more successful you will be in your work and life. In terms of your career, you need to constantly add value and focus on adding more to your organization than you take. Use your learning to constantly seek new forms of revenue generation and support your company's growth.
We all create problems about something in our lives, and respond to these problems differently; these problems are life's way of sending us messages and challenges. We can make these problems work either for us or against us. Develop a sense of clarity about the true nature of whatever problems you are facing. When you remove the charge from problems and view them in the present rather than the past, you will find that the solution lies within each problem and you save your time and energy in dealing with them.
Companies are constantly striving for greater efficiency, and jobs tend to disappear because they can be done cheaper elsewhere. Consequently, you must constantly seek to improve your own efficiency in order to retain your value to your employer. Work to always increase the company's output at the lowest possible cost. You will succeed if you find a position where your role is tied to increasing the efficiency of the company's work.
When you are a commodity, you can be replaced on a whim and have no value beyond anyone else in the market. Do something that differentiates you from others. When you are unique, you are no longer someone whom employers can easily find on the open market and your value will increase. Establish yourself as irreplaceable due to your unique skills. Understand your employers' needs and desired direction in order to create value for them.
Giving access to a lot of information and providing a platform for research and analysis immensely helps people to make the right choices in life. You must offer people a strong platform through your work to help them make the best choices for themselves, and you yourself will ultimately benefit due to the good you do for the world.
Everything happens for a reason, and that reason might lie hidden underneath the surface. Understand the root cause of everything that is happening to you and around you. When you see the seed from which the tree has grown, you will discover exactly what you should do to improve your life and career.
Change is the most beneficial thing that can happen to you; starting from scratch gives you the opportunity rebuild your life and career in the manner you see fit. You must find where there is upward movement and opportunities are being created, and ensure that your own structures and ways of operating are effective and relevant to you. Orient your life towards happiness and growth in everything you do.
A powerful sense of self will make all the difference in your life. You must understand that your sense of yourself and your capabilities come from inside of you, not from the external forces that have brought you to your current place in life. What you feel internally might be completely different from what the world is telling you, and you must learn to focus on the former rather than the latter.
The past does not dictate the future, so you should not use inductive reasoning to make conclusions about your life or career. Recognize when you are making incorrect conclusions based on past events, and switch to deductive reasoning in which you are not limited by the past. You will find your conclusions to be much more accurate, and you will succeed as a result.
In order for you to be effective in your position and successfully obtain new ones, you must express gratitude, and appreciate both what you have achieved and what you are becoming. Believe in positive things. Your career has great potential and so do you, and only by realizing this can you perceive the world around you as supporting your belief system.
You need to provide people what they want, otherwise you will not have a job. Although they might not always be the most desirable kinds of jobs, certain jobs always exist because they provide services that people will always require. The only secret to continual employment is to provide a service that people always need; if you do this, and nothing else, you will always find yourself employed. Give people what they want.
The most successful people never slow down, and do not allow themselves to get too comfortable. Everyone works to achieve their goals, but failure comes when they decline the amount of effort they put forth after having achieved these goals. When people get too comfortable, they cease to put in the additional effort to progress further and consequently fail. People who succeed in the long-term constantly seek challenges, make room for further growth, and demonstrate their ability to take up further responsibility.
In this article Harrison discusses how people who stand for something always do better than those who do not. Companies who stand for something always do better than companies who do not. The most successful companies not only stand for something, but they are completely consistent with their core principles. This is what keeps them going and this is what makes them successful. One of the largest problems that people have in their careers is when they diverge from what they are good at. When you do not stand for something, you divert from your true strength. Everything begins to crumble and slowly fall apart when you are not doing something that you are really good at. The biggest success comes when you stand for something and are good at it.
In this article Harrison explains how you can ensure success in your career by externalizing your opponents. Your job is like a game; if you work hard, play by the rules of the company and are seen as part of the team you will be viewed as a valuable player for the company. The most significant part of any game is the presence of an opponent. Don't look for an opponent among your co-workers. Never speak negatively of your team members. Instead, concentrate on the external opponents. External opponents bring you and the team closer as you work towards a common goal. In order for you and your company to succeed it is important to have an external opponent. Harrison advises people to consistently work hard and not participate in the politics. This is a sure way to score big in your career.

Prince William County Schools invites you to attend the Apple Teacher Showcase from 4:30-6:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 5, 2019 at the Potomac Town Center Apple store. The showcase includes presentations from 22 PWCS teachers and staff members. These presentations will highlight what is happening in our classrooms.
Apple Teacher is a free program for teachers to learn more about how to use Apple devices and products in their classroom. Although Apple offers a free online course, PWCS decided to create a face-to-face course so that teachers could collaborate, share, and learn from others. For more information on Apple Teacher, please visit the
Apple Teacher
The Potomac Town Center Apple Store is located at 15100 Potomac Town Place in Woodbridge.

Director Werner Herzog recently produced a powerful documentary on texting and driving. We've reported on that topic before, and watching the video reiterates how dangerous it really is … and how devastating the effects can be.
But there's more to distracted driving than just texting. From phone calls to GPS maps, technology always seems to be vying for our attention behind the wheel. Yet, as surprising as it sounds, tech can also be a big part of the solution.
Here are some exciting new innovations that can help drivers stay more focused and alert.
Less distracting GPS
Having recently completed a 3,500-mile road trip guided almost exclusively by Google Maps, I appreciate the value of having GPS on my smartphone. But I also realize the danger of looking down at my screen every few minutes to make sure I'm heading the right way.
A new head-up display (HUD) from the makers of the Garmin navigation app eliminates the need to keep glancing down. This portable device, which attaches to your smartphone, projects directional arrows and distances onto a transparent film on your windshield. The brightness adjusts automatically, so the device can be used day or night. Voice prompts are also available.
Drowsiness detection
Not all inattentive driving is due to distractions — nodding off causes accidents too. In fact, falling asleep at the wheel causes over 100,000 accidents each year in the U.S. To combat driver drowsiness, the University of Leicester (UK) has developed a breakthrough technology combining high-speed infrared cameras that track eye movement along with an electroencephalograph (EEG) that precisely measures brain activity. When collected simultaneously, this data can tell when a driver is getting sleepy.
In the future, this technology could be built into vehicles, unobtrusively monitoring drivers and alerting them when they show signs of fatigue (such as erratic eye movements and brain patterns consistent with sleepiness). Loud beeps or other signals would let you know it's time to stop for coffee, trade seats with your passenger, or maybe pull over for a power nap.
Keep your teens from texting
At Esurance, we know teens tend to underestimate the dangers of risky behavior, so when it comes to cutting out texting and driving (and other less-than-safe driving habits), they might need a little help.
As a part of our teen driver safety program, Esurance will soon offer customers Esurance DriveSafe™, a state-of-the-art tech solution that monitors driving behavior like speeding, hard braking, or turning too aggressively and provides customized reports on how safely your kids are driving. You can then use the reports to coach your teen on safe driving habits. The device also restricts cell phone use while driving — when the car is in motion, this device prevents your teen from texting, calling, or surfing the web*.
We'll be making an official announcement about this exciting new technology in the upcoming months, so keep an eye out!
So is tech a friend or foe?
I think most of us would agree that tech is a necessary part of our lives. The issue isn't texting or calling — it's doing those things behind the wheel. But, as long as there are innovators willing to tackle the problem and drivers willing to seek out solutions, we don't have to choose between being safe and staying connected.
Have you discovered any apps or techniques that help with distracted driving? Share your tips or suggestions below.

It was only a matter of time before The Simpsons set its sights on Game of Thrones. Tonight's episode of The Simpsons used Game of Thrones' stunning opening credits as the basis for the couch gag and the animation did not disappoint. Since we've known since the end of Game of Thrones' first season that season two of would be in spring 2012, I wouldn't be surprised if The Simpsons had this couch gag waiting and aired it to coincide with Game of Thrones' upcoming season premiere.
Hit the jump to check out the couch gag. Season two of Game of Thrones premieres April 1st.
