|Super Water Symphony
After a successful run with the highly coveted Warped Tour and a summer of recording in London with Cam Blackwood (Florence + The Machine, Coldplay, Morrissey), Louisiana "Water Pop" phenoms Super Water Sympathy have emerged with "Uh Oh", the newest pop/rock single from their upcoming album, due soon. Available immediately for streaming HERE (seriously, check it out!!!) and for download on iTunes on October 10, 2012 the single gives fans a chance to dip their toes in the water of the band's self made genre described as "a synthesis of classic symphonic ambience with modern ethereal anthems".
Super Water Sympathy released their debut album, Vesper Belle in 2011 and recently lent their writing and production skills to B.O.B's Strange Clouds with the track "Chandelier". Formed in 2010 and consisting of brothers Billy and Clyde Hargrove (bass and guitar, respectively), Ryan Robinson (drums), Jason Mills (keys), and Ansley Hughes (vocals), the group clicked from the start, sharing a similar vision of the sound they wanted to create. By fostering and combining their individual strengths, they've produced an impressionable and unforgettable music experience like no other.
The band will hit the road, yet again this Fall on a nationwide quest. Catch them when they hit Los Angeles' Viper Room on November 16th.

Early Spring 2016
After a strong 2015 real estate market in Northwest Vermont, one question on many homeowners' and buyers' minds is whether those trends will continue into 2016.
So far, demand and pricing hint toward another solid year, although with a caveat: since the first three months of the year represent the slowest period for our market, the trends may not be clearer until sales pick up during late Spring and Summer.
Nevertheless, demand was strong in the first quarter, with residential transactions jumping by 10 percent. Median sale prices were little changed, which may indicate a shift to lower-priced properties during the winter months.
Many economic trends in our area remain strong. Local businesses such as Dealer.com and institutions such as University of Vermont and Medical Center continue to hire, bringing new professionals to the region. Technology start-ups are thriving and attracting out-of-state mid-career professionals, as well as hiring graduates from colleges such as UVM and Champlain College. Vermont's unemployment rate was 3.4 percent in February, one of the lowest rates in the country.
The millennial generation, which is on track to become the country's largest home-buying demographic within the next few years, is emerging as first-time buyers, thanks to record low interest rates and relatively high rents, which makes home-buying a more attractive alternative. A Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman Realty survey last year that found 37% of our clients had just purchased their first home, close to the typical 40% of the market.
Federal Reserve chairwoman Janet Yellen has said the central bank will raise interest rates "cautiously" this year. As a result, mortgage rates remain at near-record lows.
One issue facing our market is affordability, especially within Chittenden County. Buyers are responding to those pressures, with some seeking housing in lower-cost counties such as Franklin County. Within Chittenden County, buyers are most interested in the $250,000 to $350,000 price range, which is especially true for first-time millennialhomebuyers. Inventory for reasonably priced housing in Chittenden County remains tight.
Along those lines, Vermont's housing ranks among the most expensive in the country, although incomes haven't seen the same gains. That gap between income and housing prices means that many professionals in our region are financially squeezed, which could provide a headwind to the property market.
The impact of Act 46, the education governance reform law passed last year that calls for larger school districts, continues to evolve. We advise homeowners and potential buyers to consider the impact and reach out to their Realtors, local lawmakers and school board members for more information. For instance, some towns are discussing school mergers, which could impact some buyers and sellers.
As always, well-priced homes in good condition tend to see strong demand from buyers. Sellers should consider upgrades to their homes that would make them more attractive to potential buyers, ranging from taking care of deferred maintenance to installing "smart home" technology, such as Nest's thermostat, to help your property stand out.
Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman Realty is forecasting continued steady growth in pricing and sales for 2016. Based on current trends, we believe sales volume may rise about 6 – 8 percent, while pricing could gain about 1% to 2%, or similar to the national forecast from the National Association of Realtors.
As always, it remains that both sellers and buyers need to reflect on their personal situation. Utilizing the local knowledge within this report and the advice of your agent – you can make an informed decision about your next move. [ http://www.hickokandboardman.com/vermont-market-report/ ]

In sports an adversary can emerge from out of nowhere or grows from an escalation of contests in which the competitor's begin to understand their opponent's strengths and weakness, but allows them the drive and determination to outperform one another on the grandest stage of all for the moment of glory while avoiding the bitter taste of defeat.
A forgotten sports rivalry that director Ron Howard re-introduces to the audience is the Formula 1 racing between English driver James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Austrian driver Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl).
A rivalry six year in the making from Formula 3 racing to the sport's premiere league finds finds them at the ultimate point of the film in 1976 at Nuremberg track as they battle each other for the right to be called the number one Formula 1 driver. But before the ultimate showdown and turning point of the film takes places, the film looks at the driver's beginnings.
Mr. Brühl's character serves as the narrator but can only come second fiddle to Mr. Hemsworth's character. Their persona on the track represents how they function and carry themselves out in their real life.
Niki is shrewd, calculative as he finds the competitive edge in a sport determined by distance and length while James lives for the moment taking chances and risks that has him reaching the finish line or not even seeing it.
For Mr. Hemsworth the role fits him as the charismatic lady's man who cracks jokes as he preparers himself for the races. Even though he's the character that draws the audience in it's Mr. Bruhl's narration that keeps the audience intrigued in their rivalry.
At first it's hard to like Niki's character but that's how he prefers it as an unlikeable and lonely figure. It's only when he becomes a tragic figure does the audience relate to him and cheer for him as opposed to the much admired James Hunt.
For James, he tries to live outside of the fame and notoriety as he attempts to settle down with model Suzy Hunt (Olivia Wilde), but his mind can only focus on the next race and Niki.
Niki doesn't remain lonely for long as he finds Marlene (Alexandra Maria Lara) in his life. But the women of their life plays can't compete in their to their drives and desires on the track.
During the 1976 season, both drivers go through a series of races in which it's a life and death matter as they travel at high speeds in a coffin on four wheels. Death and injuries are a constant remainder as they step in their vehicles and the flag waves.
But some elements of the sports are beyond the driver and the course as weather plays an important part into their game plan and how they race the courses when dealing with the unknown variable.
Mr. Howard brings the viewers as close as possible serving as a co-passenger in the narrow confine from seeing the blades of grass fly into the air to the near collisions of fellow drivers. He's able to show the spectacular of the race with the audience clamoring on the tracks and the grandeur of seeing the car's lined up ready to take their position.
Like any race, the film alternates between James Hunt and Niki Lauda as they race to see who can be proclaimed as the number one driver in the memorable Formula 1 racing season of 1976 with its larger than life drivers.
Classification: Redbox New Release Blu-Ray
Movie Grade: 4 out of 5 stars:
Director Ron Howard brings back the excitement into the less than followed sports of Formula One racing and showcases the 1976 season as the whole world watched two of its biggest stars: James Hunt and Niki Lauda go through the entire season to see who is the number one driver.

Shipping raw materials in or finished goods out? Choose from rail, truck, air or barge: Southern Ohio has your solution.
A public-private partnership recently invested $290 million to expand capacity, improve service consistency, and reduce transit times along the Norfolk Southern Heartland Corridor – which goes through the Southern Ohio region on its way from Norfolk, Virginia to Columbus Ohio and through to Chicago, Illinois.
In Columbus, the Norfolk Southern is part of the Rickenbacker Global Logistics Park, which is part of the Rickenbacker Inland Port. The Logistics Park includes up to 29 million square feet of additional development space to complement the 40 million square feet of existing space.
Both Norfolk Southern and CSX transverse the Southern Ohio region.
US 35, US 23, and SR 32 form a triangle connecting the Southern Ohio region to major east-west and north-south Interstates 70, 71, 64 and 77.
Southern Ohio is within a 10-hour drive of more than 50% of the US and Canadian populations. Trucks provide ready access to markets as far away as Oklahoma City; Birmingham, Alabama; Charleston, South Carolina; Richmond, Virginia; and Boston, Massachusetts.
The Port Columbus International Airport is the largest airport near the Southern Ohio region. It averages 367 aircraft operations daily, including over 100 commercial flights daily. The Huntington Tri-State Regional airport also provides local air service to the region.
In addition, each of the counties within the Southern Ohio region have an airport.
The Southern Ohio region abuts the Ohio River to the south, and as such, is part of the Tri-State Port Authority and the Port of Greater Cincinnati. There are eight operating river ports in the region. Contact the Southern Ohio Port Authority for information on all of the operating ports.

What is true love based on? Championships. At least that is the philosophy of Vanessa Bryant. She and Kobe Bryant have had quite a tumultuous marriage, and it may leave some to wonder why they stay together. Kobe can only buy Vanessa so many pieces of "I'm sorry" jewelry each time he cheats before it gets old, right?
Even though Vanessa filed for divorce last year, the couple is still together (despite some shady photos of Kobe sitting shirtless with some girls during the Olympics) and it may be because of more than a history and children together. In an interview with New York magazine Vanessa talked about how much she loves being a basketball wife. A very specific kind of basketball wife.
Vanessa told the magazine,"I certainly would not want to be married to somebody that can't win championships. If you are sacrificing time away from my family and myself for the benefit of winning championships, then winning a championship should happen every single year."
Lucky for Vanessa, Kobe knows how to win championships (five so far). But how long can he keep that up?

Will Chicago bleeding heart limo libs be mugged by reality?: Gang violence erupts in Lincoln Park http://shar.es/sZFni via
No Guardrails.
No Guardrails. This editorial appeared in The Wall Street Journal, March 18, 1993.
No Guardrails. This editorial appeared in The Wall Street Journal, March 18, 1993.
We think it is possible to identify the date when the U.S., or more precisely when many people within it, began to tip off the emotional tracks. A lot of people won't like this date, because it makes their political culture culpable for what has happened. The date is August 1968, when the Democratic National Convention found itself sharing Chicago with the street fighters of the anti-Vietnam War movement.
The real blame here does not lie with the mobs who fought bloody battles with the hysterical Chicago police. The larger responsibility falls on the intellectuals--university professors, politicians and journalistic commentators--who said then that the acts committed by the protesters were justified or explainable. That was the beginning. After Chicago, the justifications never really stopped. America had a new culture, for political action and personal living.Yes we can. I was 14 in 1968. But I remember:
Recreate '68. A few protesters descended on Denver this year to relive the radical glory days of the 1968 Democrat convention in Chicago. I didn't live in Chicago then, but in a small town in Wisconsin, and as a young teenager I was a Democrat, raised as one, and a supporter of peace candidate for president Sen. Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota. So what does '68 mean to me? It means barely 10 years later I was a Reagan Republican.[snip]Bill Ayers No Dream. Yes we can. Though I had never met him before, I knew Bill Ayers.
Barack Obama's early and longstanding Chicago political ally, domestic terrorist Bill Ayers was one of the '68 radicals who wanted to kill the pigs and trashed the city. A spoiled child of privilege then and now, Ayers today is unrepentant about the bombs that were meant for public servants in the Capitol, but killed his girlfriend instead. On Sept. 11th, 2001 his new book was reviewed in the NY Times. He had no regrets and said we should have bombed more.
Lord of the Flies in London. Britain's liberal intelligentsia has smashed virtually every social value
Yes we can.
"They were enjoying frightening people" Chicago, 2012 Magnificent Mile.
Assault after assault. On and on to destroy the civilized boundaries of society, the bulwarks of decency that protect the weak and innocent. No guardrails. One tipping point after another. Yes we can.
Will no one let these children go. As they grow up, or not. Predators. Or prey. Some escape, some do not.
And so the cowards and killings are spreading to the heart of liberal Chicago. As this bankrupt city and state slowly die.
I went to church this morning, after reading the news early on, and this was the reading:
Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind: "Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up your loins like a man, I will question you, and you shall declare to me. "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements—surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone when the morning stars sang together and all the heavenly beings shouted for joy? "Or who shut in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb?— when I made the clouds its garment, and thick darkness its swaddling band, and prescribed bounds for it, and set bars and doors, and said, "Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stopped'?With humility and God's grace, let us pray. Or if you don't believe in God, pray your own way. But pray.

The brand of the toothbrush is not as critical as the type of bristle and the size of the head. A soft toothbrush with a small head is recommended because medium and hard brushes tend to cause irritation and contribute to recession of the gums, and a small head allows you to get around each tooth more completely and is less likely to injure your gums.
It's unnecessary to "scrub" the teeth as long as you are brushing at least twice a day and visiting your dentist at least twice a year for cleanings.
Generally, no. However, it's advisable to use a toothpaste containing fluoride to decrease the incidence of dental decay. We recommend our patients use whatever toothpaste tastes good to them, as long as it contains fluoride.
How often should I floss?
Flossing your teeth once per day helps prevent cavities from forming between the teeth where your toothbrush can't reach. Flossing also helps keep your gums healthy.
What's the difference between a crown and a cap?
Both are used to repair a severely broken tooth by covering all or most of the tooth after removing old fillings, fractured tooth structure, and decay. The restoration material is made of gold, porcelain, composites, or even stainless steel.
Dentists refer to all of these restorations as crowns. However, patients often refer to the tooth-colored ones as caps and the gold or stainless steel ones as crowns. In medical terms, they are two names for the same procedure.
Both bridges and partial dentures replace missing teeth. A bridge is permanently attached to abutment teeth or, in some cases, implants. A partial denture is attached by clasps to the teeth and is easily removed by the patient.
Patients are usually more satisfied with bridges than with partial dentures.
Although the U.S. Public Health Service issued a report in 1993 stating there is no health reason to avoid amalgam (silver fillings), more patients today are requesting white, or tooth-colored, composite fillings.
We also prefer tooth-colored fillings because they bond to the tooth structure better and so help strengthen a tooth weakened by decay. White fillings are also usually less sensitive to temperature and blend in better.
However, white fillings cannot be used in every situation. If a tooth is badly broken, a crown will usually be necessary and provide better overall satisfaction for the patient than just a filling would.
No. While most teeth that have had root canal treatments do need crowns to strengthen the teeth and to return the teeth to normal form and function, not every tooth needing a crown also needs to have a root canal.

"Testicle Therapy"
Two women were playing golf. One teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole.The ball hit one of the men.He immediately clasped his hands together at his groin, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony.The woman rushed down to the man, and immediately began to apologize. 'Please allow me to help. I'm a Physical Therapist and I know I could relieve your pain if you'd allow me, she told him. 'Oh, no, I'll be all right. I'll be fine in a few minutes,' the man replied. He was in obvious agony, lying in the fetal position, still clasping his hands there at his groin.At her persistence, however, he finally allowed her to help. She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, loosened his pants and put her hands inside.She administered tender and artful massage for several long moments and asked, 'How does that feel'? Feels great, he replied; but I still think my thumb's broken!

I almost missed the boat on my favourites this month. I had realised it was late April but I totally hadn't taken in just how late it was.
This month I've mostly been enjoying light, highlighted skin with neutral contoured eyes and a bright spring lip.
Alpha H - Liquid Gold*
I've been using this periodically the last 6 or so weeks. I use it after cleansing and as the bottle suggests, apply it every other night without moisturiser for a more intensive treatment.
I'll do a more in depth review on this soon but my skin seems less oily but also less dry. It helps your skin produce more hyaluronic acid which keeps your skin super moisturised. My skin seems less angry since using this so it's become a bit of a staple of late.
I swap and change between lip balms. Purely because after a while I don't find them as effective as when I first started using them. This is a lovely light balm that glides on to the lips and locks in moisture without leaving behind a heavy, greasy feeling.
I love lip tars and Queen is one of my favourites as I have nothing like it in my collection. It's so damn hard to photograph though. It's a bright neon coral with a hint of pink and the perfect colour for brighter days.
I've never really got into the habit of highlighting on daily basis. But since the sun has decided to make regular appearances lately, I've opted for matte but glowy skin as it looks a little more natural.
This month I've been switching between High Beam and M.A.C Lustre Drops. Both are perfect dotted under the brow, along the cheekbones and on the cupids bow, to really give that glowy look.
I've talked about these numerous times on the blog so I won't repeat myself but these little tubes of hand cream are amazing. I've kept this one by my bedside for night time moisturising so I can keep my hands and nails in tip top condition.
I can't remember the last time I used a powder blush. I've been using this every time I wear makeup lately. It's the only cream blush I have but it's perfect.
Sob is a cool, candy pink with a dewy finish so it's perfect for teaming with super highlighted cheekbones.
I've just noticed this is no longer on the site, which is a real shame as I love this colour. It's the perfect blue toned pink for pale skin.
Bed Head - Candy Fixations - Sugar Shock
I couldn't get this to work for me when I first go it but lately I've found a way of using it to my advantage.
This spray gives a lot of body so I spray it on the top lengths of my hair (avoiding the main bit of my fringe) and blow dry. It helps give my hair volume and stop it being so flat.
Urban Decay - Naked PaletteThe original Naked palette is always a favourite of mine but it's all I seem to be using lately. Whether it's for a barely there eye, something nude with a hint of bright colour or a full out smokey eye. It has the perfect colour selection to help you with any eye look.

Roanoke Mini Maker Faire
The very first Roanoke Mini Maker Faire is coming to the Science Museum of Western Virginia on April 22 from 1:00pm – 5:00pm, and I am beyond excited.
What is a Maker Faire?
A Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, Maker Faire is a venue for these "makers" to show hobbies, experiments, projects. We call it the Greatest Show (& Tell) on Earth – a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness. There are many Maker Faires across the world, and it's so cool that Roanoke will have it's very own AND that our students will be able to attend and participate in this global movement!
What will you see and do at the Roanoke Mini Maker Faire?
Students from all over the New River and Roanoke Valleys will be showing off their Maker skills – from lip balm to an interactive ocean exhibit to a dancing troupe of robots and much more. Other Makers will be there too, including the Roanoke Robotics & Makers Club with their retro arcade games and robots. There will be a chance to make Milkweed Missiles with kids from Green Valley Elementary and talk to the Wind Turbinators from Valley Elementary, and all sorts of other opportunities for kids (and kids at hear) to build and make. All ages are welcome to attend, and it's FREE!
Big Thanks!
Karen Richardson from The Virginia Society of Technology in Education and Hannah Weiss from the Science Museum of Western Virginia have been instrumental in getting this event to happen in our own backyard, and I am so grateful for their expertise and hard work. Checkout the website for the event, reserve your free tickets, and check out the list of Makers that will be there.
We hope you will bring the whole family and stop by to glimpse the future and get inspired at the Greatest Show and Tell (on Earth)!
Water Conservation Projects with Adobe Spark
After their experience with their Level Up Village Global Scientists projects, students in Mrs. Meredith's class wanted to create a media message to encourage people to save water. They had learned that, in their community, water waste was one of the biggest issues. Check out some of their water conservation projects using Adobe Spark.

Recent Work: Banjo & Scout
I had the wonderful opportunity to install another blog design last week. This time it was for the lovely Amber of Banjo & Scout. We've been following each other's blogs for quite some time, so getting to know her a little better while also designing something for her was a great experience. Below, I'll share a little about the design inspiration and process with you!
When Amber contacted me, I knew right away what sort of style and feeling she would want Banjo & Scout to evoke. With such a folksy title, we took a lot of inspiration from nature. I referenced photography from several of her past posts (specifically her outfit posts in wooded areas) for ideas. This was especially helpful when creating all the foliage, as I wanted it to feel authentic to Amber and be representative of her surroundings. Amber was not at all afraid of color, which is a real treat. It allowed me to pick some gorgeous, bold, natural colors and Banjo and Scout's color scheme just might be my favorite yet. Mossy green, deep mustard yellow, dark moody grey, a bold berry blue, and a bright fig inspired purple. The real magic was balancing out all the earthy, woodsy, moody elements with a streamlined and clean backbone. All that color pops beautifully against the soft white and linen.
To see the design in action, be sure to give Banjo & Scout a visit! I had a lot of fun with little details this time around, such as hover effects, so check all those out as well. Be sure to say hello to Amber while you're there, too! She's a great friend to have in the blogging community. Thanks so much for letting me design for you, dear!
xx Emorie
P.S. I mentioned before that I would be slowing down my design services a bit. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to schedule out clients, so I hope those of you who have already contacted me can understand and bare with me a bit. My design services are booked until the end of 2014 and I will be updating the information on the Design Services page soon to reflect some changes that will be happening. It's an exciting time! Thank you all so much for your interest in my services.

Snippets: The Changing Season
1 | Autumn in the foothills is super lovely. I took these pictures on a hike a few weeks ago — one of the first signs I saw that let me know that Fall was finally coming.
2 | An afternoon affogato (a scoop of chocolate brownie ice cream and a shot of espresso). My favorite treat lately.
3 | The skies (especially in the morning) have been unreal lately.
4 | Pippin shaking it out during a refreshing morning hike.
5 | The first fallen leaves in Julia Davis Park.
6 | I gave myself a bit of a haircut. It was getting a little too post-pixie mushroom-shaped and it definitely benefited from a reshaping. Haircuts make me happy.
7 | Pippin goes all out with the photobombing.
8 | Pumpkin beer is my favorite beer and these new fall floral tights are lovely as well. I also finally own a felt hat and it's the perfect color (I suck at selfies, though).
9-12 | I got off work a little early this past Saturday and was itching for adventure. But it had been raining all day (and for days) so we decided to just pack a little picnic and stroll along the river. The rain let up for a bit, even. It was beautiful to see some green springing up one last time from all the rain amongst all the autumn colors.
With the season changing, I like to reflect on my routine and reassess those things I call priorities. I'm experiencing quite a few changes this month, in addition to the lovely weather shift. It's an exciting time for Will and I and I'm just trying to take a quick step back and appreciate everything as it is now. I can't wait for the days ahead, but I'd also love to live in all these little happy moments. It's always a good idea to slow down for a bit, especially when you've moving forward so quickly. It's so important to create that balance in life, I think. So, that's exactly what I plan on doing.
As I sit in my chilly apartment this morning, bundled up in a cozy turtle-neck and sipping a hot cup of coffee, I'm feeling very grateful for this inspiring season. For the opportunities both Will and I are having, for all the wonderful people in my life that love and support me, for this space, and for all of you (that stick around even when I don't have the time to post). You can expect to see me around here a lot more the next few weeks!
Happy October!

Tips for Writing a Medical Assistant Resume
Healthcare is a wonderful industry to get into these days, and the future is bright for those entering the field. As the baby boomer generation gets older, the strain on the healthcare system becomes greater and more serious. The world needs more healthcare professionals. This sentiment is echoed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who estimate that employment in related occupations is expected to grow 19% by 2024.
Medical assistant positions are expected to grow even more. The job outlook is great for this profession, with the BLS estimating a 23% growth in available positions over the next 7 years. As the research indicates, this is much faster than the average for all occupations. Also take into consideration that there are several healthcare facilities in every major city, and it becomes clear: there is definitely a job out there for you in this industry.
If you are serious about gaining employment as a medical assistant, you will need to have a polished resume. We can help you do that. Below, we provide three industry-specific tips for writing a great one.
1. Nail Your Medical Assistant Resume Objective
Your career objective is the first thing the hiring manager reads on a resume, yet it is one of the most misunderstood, unappreciated sections of the document.
Medical assistants are in demand, but that doesn't mean it will be easy to land a job. As with other professions, there will be competition for every position. Unless you have years of experience and numerous certifications, your resume may blend with all the rest. This is why it's critical to make yours stand out. You can do this by writing a great career objective.
Your career objective is the first thing the hiring manager reads on a resume, yet it is one of the most misunderstood, unappreciated sections of the document. It is an opportunity to link the position requirements and your relevant skills and experience to show why you'd be an asset to the hiring organization. It is also a chance to make a memorable first impression on the hiring manager.
A great career objective can be written in just three sentences:
- A self-introduction in which you outline your years of experience and your major tasks and responsibilities
- A clear statement that outlines how you will use your skills and experience to fulfill your desired position
- A concluding sentence that highlights how your skills and abilities will allow you to contribute to the future success of the target organization
In the sample above, the applicant composed a resume objective using this format. Let's take a look at it line-by-line:
– Attentive Medical Assistant with 5 years of experience in performing administrative and clinical tasks in various healthcare environments.
In this sentence, she clearly states her occupation, years of experience, and her major responsibilities. She is concise and direct. The hiring manager knows that she is experienced and competent.
– Looking to apply my background in managed healthcare to help fulfill any medical assistant needs at [target organization].
Here, the applicant clearly identifies the position she is applying for, and emphasizes that her background in healthcare will help her fulfill that role. This is a great sentence for a career objective, because hiring managers want to know how you can improve their organizations, not how they can help you.
– My experience as a medical assistant and ability to thrive using different medical technologies will allow me to immediately contribute toward the welfare of your hospital and its patients.
For the last sentence, she articulates how her experience and skills will benefit the target organization. To the hiring manager, she will seem driven, committed, and a team player.
A career objective crafted in this way will leave a lasting impression on a hiring manager. It is an essential part of your resume, and should be written carefully. If you need additional help with yours, check out our guide on writing a winning resume objective.
2. Emphasize A Range of Abilities
Hiring managers at healthcare facilities know how important medical assistants are, so they'll be looking to hire candidates who are multitalented and competent.
All major healthcare facilities have medical assistants on the payroll. They play an integral role among allied health professionals because their responsibilities are many and wide-ranging, covering several different disciplines. Their duties include administrative tasks like scheduling and retrieving medical records, clinical tasks such as dressing wounds and performing venipunctures, and custodial tasks like cleaning rooms and equipment. A lot of the work other medical professionals do is made easier by their efforts.
Hiring managers at healthcare facilities know how important medical assistants are, so they'll be looking to hire candidates who are multitalented and competent. Being a specialist is nice, but being able to fill a lot of different roles at once is better for this position. This is why you should highlight a range of skills and abilities.
Listing relevant skills in your skills section is one way to achieve this. However, a more thorough way is to put down some key, bulleted points in your professional experience section. This method allows you to include more skills, and also let the hiring manager know that you've successfully done these things in the past.
Let's take a look at some examples from the sample resume above:
– Record, manage, and update patient information and medical histories in accordance with HIPAA regulations
– Perform venipunctures and injections more than 15 times a day
– Clean and sanitize tools and equipment daily
We can see in these three bulleted statements that the applicant has performed a wide variety of tasks. It might seem like a good idea to emphasize only the clinical side of your skills and experience, but it is much more effective to include a range of skills.
If you need more help writing your experience section, have a look at the professional experience portion of our resume writing guide.
3. Include Certification Information
To protect themselves from costly legal challenges, employers of healthcare professionals increasingly require their staff to be credentialed and certified.
Advancements in medical technologies in recent years have led to patients increasingly expecting a positive outcome when they see a healthcare professional. Unfortunately, this is not always possible, and unsatisfied patients often resort to legal means to reconcile what they feel was a failure by the healthcare organization.
To protect themselves from costly legal challenges, employers of healthcare professionals increasingly require their staff to be credentialed and certified. They have concluded that having certified healthcare professionals on staff will lessen the likelihood of successful lawsuits. Additionally, certain articles of regulatory organizations like OSHA and CLIA are making the mandatory certification of medical personnel an inevitable next step.
Presently, medical assistants do not require certification in most states. However, due to the current legal climate, it is becoming more and more important to employers that they be certified. For this reason, it is essential that you include your certification information. This can be done in the education section of your resume. You should include not only the certifications you have obtained, but also the years you got them. They need to be updated every so often, so it is important to hiring managers to know that your credentials are up to date.
Including the organization from which you received your certification will add legitimacy to your resume. Learn more about certifications.
If you have several certifications that you would like to emphasize to the hiring manager, you can use a qualifications summary in place of the career objective. This is a more modern way of writing a resume introduction which has been successful for many people. You can read more about qualifications summaries in our writing guide.

So, what's new in LumenRT Update 5? Here are the new features released with this updates with some video examples.
Hi Salino,
could you please show the details about support URL on BIM? Very appreciate.
best regards
Dongcai Xie
Agree - you show "what", but don't show - "how". If the help documentation would be well prepared - one could learn it by him selves, but, honestly, no help in LumenRT... the PDF document, that comes with the installation, is not updated, perhaps, since very first version release. Look how ContextCapture team prepares video tutorials on every new feature added in every next release - all details on workflow and guided example how to. LumenRT team should be doing the same! The videos on Update 2 and Update 3 where also showing "what's new", but not "how to do it in LumenRT".
Hi Arunas and Dongcai, these videos were prepared exactly to show what is new in the new releases and not as training or "how to videos". I will convey your feedback to the LumenRT team and we will try to create some more videos.
Have you registered to follow our free Visualization SIG meetings? These features have been shown in the last few meetings, you can find the recordings at the link here below:
Hi Marco
Any videos or info showing what is new in the latest LumenRT releas? The LumenRT that comes with MicroStation CONNECT Edition Update 10

Q: You've written quite a few books. Are you done now?
Clay: Not at all. I'd like to say I am just getting started but I recently observed my 60th birthday and the clock has begun to tick. I would like to write at least five more books, and finish my big one on Thomas Jefferson, The Paradox of Thomas Jefferson. If I had the right sort of life rhythm, advances and travel opportunities, I'd write a book every year for the next ten at least. I love to write. I love even more to have written.
Q: What is your best book?
Clay: I think The Character of Meriwether Lewis: Explorer in the Wilderness. The most inspiring sentence I ever read about writing was by the English poet John Milton, who said he aspired to write "something so written to aftertimes that they will not willingly let it die." That's precisely what I wish to do. I think my Character of Meriwether Lewis has already influenced the discourse in Lewis and Clark studies. Even people who disagree with my views have adopted some part of them, I think. I do believe that my Lewis book is the most important book ever written about Lewis per se. There are much better books about the Lewis and Clark expedition, of course, but my book is an attempt to get to the heart of the mystery of Meriwether Lewis. I think it essential reading for anyone who wants to try to understand Lewis, even if you wind up disagreeing with my conclusions. If I could put only one book in a time capsule, that would be it. And I don't think it is going to be allowed to die, as long as there is interest in Lewis and Clark. But I could be full of beans. I'm with Woody Allen, who said he showed his magnum opus on metaphysical reality to his girlfriend, who reported back that it read likeAirport 1975. I'm with Socrates: the creator is not the best judge of his or her creation.
Q: Have you ever thought about writing a novel?
Clay: I have indeed, though I have no idea whether I could write a good one. I've begun a novel about white-Indian relations in North Dakota. I hope to finish it in the next year.
Q: What's it about?
Clay: It is about the cultural divide between Anglo-Europeans and Native Americans. My home is North Dakota. We are exceptionally fortunate in North Dakota to have Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara, Dakota, Assiniboine, Ojibwe, and Lakota people among us. But the two cultures live across a great divide. Indians know white people much better than white people know Indians, of course, because they have to live in two worlds, but white people are content to live in only one. The average white North Dakotan doesn't really understand why Indians struggle. In fact, the average white person says, "Why cannot they get over it?"
My novel is the story of a friendship between a young white boy and a Hidatsa girl. Not a romance, but an improbable friendship. They get to explore each other's worlds, and they wind up making a very long road trip together through the heart of the North American "underground." My goal is to help start a dialogue between the two cultures. I believe that cultural healing begins with honest, sometimes painful, dialogue.
Q: When will it be done?
Clay: I'm about 35,000 words into it, about a fifth of the total. I'd like it to be done on my 61st birthday, February 2016.
Q: How did you learn to write?
Clay: Of course, I do not consider myself a great writer. I'm a good enough writer. Sometimes I wish I could reboot, as in after a stroke, and learn to write in a much simpler and more direct way.
What I know about writing I learned from great mentors. Mike Jacobs, who is perhaps North Dakota's most gifted prose stylist, is a master of straight muscular prose. Short sentences. I'm much more Ciceronian than that, and it's a serious fault. My Renaissance English professor at the University of Minnesota, Thomas Clayton, was a very rigorous critic, who had no patience for woolly prose. He had a huge vocabulary, a ready wit, a powerful sense of irony, and a deep commitment to precision.
Mostly, I think, you learn to write by writing. The best method is to write fast, without frills, on deadline. That's why a good journalism course may be better than a good composition course. The biggest problem young writers have is that they want to write flowery purple prose. In my opinion, most of them have been indulged by bad English teachers (language arts teachers) who don't know how to write themselves. They tend to reward sentiment and "poetic" prose. This is precisely the wrong way to teach writing. I sometimes have my students write essays in which no sentence can be more than eight words long. Try it. (I'll try it in the next paragraph. It's harder than you think.)
Try to make every sentence as simple as possible. Never use two words where one will serve. Get to the point. Avoid the passive voice. Try to use as few adjectives as possible. Never use a cliché you could not explain. Use strong Anglo-Saxon terms instead of Latin polysyllabic words. Assume that you are going to be cut off after 250 words, so get right to the point. Avoid similes and metaphors until you are a much better writer. Don't try for poetic effect. Look up words you are unsure of.
Q; Which writers do you especially admire?
Clay: For the quality of their prose, Daniel Defoe, George Orwell, C.S. Lewis, Bertrand Russell. Orwell says the best prose is "transparent." In other words, the reader is not really aware of the writing, because the writing is clear and doesn't get in the way of the matter. I love Dickens beyond all other English novelists, but he is constantly wanting you to be aware of the magic of his writing.
Q: Have you always been a writer?
Clay: Well, yes and no. I have been writing since I was sixteen years old, and I have written millions of words. I haven't written every day for those 44 years, but it is a very strange week in which I do not do some writing on three or four or even five days. Now most of what one writes is of no consequence, but the process of writing keeps us proficient at it.
Still, I never considered myself a writer until I moved back to North Dakota in 2005. Then I started writing a weekly column for the Bismarck Tribune. That meant that I must meet a pretty strict deadline every Wednesday no matter where I was on earth, no matter what I was doing, and no matter how I felt. About a year into the column, I remember being asked by someone on a plane or at a conference just what I did. And for the first time in my life I said, "I'm a writer." And I did not feel embarrassed or like a fraud.
Q: Physically, how do you write?
Clay: I only use pen and paper when I don't have access to a computer. I write out endless outlines and notes to myself in longhand or block capitals, but when I want to write I like to be at a keyboard. When I want to write a very special letter, to my daughter, to the governor, to an old dear friend, I sometimes get out my Hermes 3000 portable manual typewriter and pound the thing out. I regard that as a sacred form of writing.
But it doesn't matter how I write. Whatever works for you is all that matters? Some people think better with pen in hand. Some like to dictate. I could never dictate an essay or book. But I don't like fetishism in writing. You know, a certain kind of fountain pen or just the right kind of cream-colored paper. That's entirely the wrong approach. I think it was in the Rambler that Dr. Johnson said something to the effect of: The man will not write much who is particular about pen and pencils.
Q: When do you write?
Clay: I prefer to write in the morning, because as Thoreau says, it is a new dawn for the whole universe. But I write when I have to, when I can, when the moment opens up, when the deadline demands it. For example, I wrote these last few sentences at 6:02 p.m. on a September evening.
Q: Do you have any suggestions for writers, or people who would like to write?
Clay: There are three or four things I have learned over time that I believe might be helpful to other. First, don't wait for your Muse. It's a very very long wait. If you only write when you are in the mood to write—well-rested, in great health, without significant distractions, with plenty of time on your hands, and inspired to get started—you may never write at all. You have to be able to write in good health and bad, when you are happy and when you are miserable, when you are rested and when you are completely exhausted. You have to write every day, without fail, or you won't be able to sustain the project. Second, as my friend Warren Lerude taught me, "Always park on a hill." Always end the day's writing by starting a new paragraph or at least a new sentence, but don't finish the thought. That way, when you return the next morning, you never have to stare at a blank screen. You simply finish the sentence or the paragraph, and you are off and running. Even the best writers have a daily writer's block. This fixes that. Third, in the age of Microsoft Word, writing is easier than it has ever been. You can cut and paste. You can revise without having to retype. You can use autocorrect and then spellcheck, and even grammar check. It may seem daunting, but if you keep plugging away at it, you will finish. Fourth, don't necessarily write in linear order, from Alpha to Omega. Write what you are most prepared to write today, even if it something that won't appear until ten chapters from now. Sixth, every time you come to something you don't know and need to look up, just write an X in the sentence, and move on. About once every hour or every two hours, you can Google every X, or look every X up in the books you have around you, and fill in those blanks. If you stop every time you come to some fact that is not at your fingertips, you will grind to a halt.
Q: For whom do you write?
Clay: That depends on what I am writing. In my scholarship, I write for literate and curious adults, but people who are not necessarily experts in the field. I learned long ago that the duty of the humanist is to write for the broadest possible audience. I do not like to write academic prose, or prose merely for other experts.
I really regard myself as an essayist more than anything else. The essay gives me the latitude I want to explore ideas and subjects that interest me, without too severe a channel of expectations. I like to have the license to write with joy and whimsy, sometimes analytically and sometimes passionately, and not always in a strictly linear fasion.
My ideal reader is someone who appreciates my style and my perspective, but does not necessarily agree with me. My ideal reader takes the challenge, wrestles with my perspective, quibbles with what I regard as a truth or an insight, but who brings a measure of generosity of spirit to the occasion.
We all want to be read by readers who "get us." I have known a dozen or so such readers. When they write to tell me that I am in error, or confused, or silly, I take their criticism very seriously, because they have earned it with their gift of taking me seriously.
