Howard Roberts, 62, Guitarist Recognized For His Television Work
Howard Roberts, the virtuoso session guitarist whose credits include the eerie opening notes of "The Twilight Zone" theme, the "Gilligan's Island" theme and hundreds of studio recordings, has died of prostate cancer. He was 62.
Mr. Roberts, most recently a resident of Edmonds, died June 26 in a Seattle hospital.
Born Oct. 2, 1929 in Phoenix, he moved to Los Angeles in 1950. Primarily self-taught, he studied with trumpeter Shorty Rogers and appeared with Buddy De Franco, Paul Horn and Bud Shank.
He also performed as a backup musician for such vocalists as Ray Charles, Sonny and Cher and Ella Fitzgerald.
His guitar has underscored soundtracks from popular television shows also included "I Love Lucy," and "Get Smart."
He was heard on the sound tracks of TV shows, including "Gilligan's Island," "The Flintstones," "The Brady Bunch" and "The Addams Family," and movies, among them "West Side Story," "Dirty Harry" and "How the West Was One."
Among his musical credits on the big screen were "Camelot" and "West Side Story."
A sought-after studio musician who worked in various styles, he played on recordings with Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, the Beach Boys, Sonny and Cher, the Jackson 5 and the Monkees, among many others.
He recorded jazz albums for many labels, such as MGM, Verve, ABC, Capitol and Concord. Mr. Roberts once told a jazz critic that from 1966 to 1976, he played on 2,000 albums.
He was active in guitar education, as a teacher and text-book writer. In 1977 he founded the Guitar Institute of Technology in Hollywood. It later became the Musicians Institute, and continues to train vocalists, guitarists, bass players and other aspiring musicians.
After moving to the Northwest in the 1980s, Mr. Roberts played nightclubs and festivals, such as Jazz Port Townsend, and continued to teach and lead guitar seminars.
He is survived by his mother, Vesta Roberts, wife Patty, daughter Madelyn and sons Douglas, Jay, Christopher and Michael. No service is planned.
In his memory, contributions may be made to the Howard Roberts Memorial Fund, P.O. Box 1025, Edmonds, WA 98020.

KENT - Long before he was Batman, Michael Keaton was a Golden Flash.
The star actor, an Academy Award nominee, delivered the commencement address at Kent State on Saturday, a university where he studied journalism in the early 1970s.
Keaton recalled fondly his days at Kent State, and said the school had a great journalism program.
In an earlier Q & A with a smaller group of students, Keaton said journalism is "more important than ever."
He made a veiled reference to President Donald Trump when he talked about "autocratic" statements saying that the press is "the enemy of the people."
"It's not an exaggeration to say," he continued, "that that's basically a threat to the First Amendment."
Keaton attended Kent State not long after the tragedy where four students were killed by the National Guard.
In his commencement speech, Keaton recalled hitchhiking to an anti-Vietnam protest in Washington D.C., and being given a ride by a Guardsman.
"He was going down to keep the peace, and I was going down to march for peace," Keaton said. "We weren't that different really."
Keaton teased about the title of the song "Waiting on the World to Change," by a friend of his, singer John Mayer.
"I hate that song," he told the crowd to laughter, urging students not to "wait for anyone. You are the world. You are the change."
Keaton intended to graduate, but never returned to school after he started to pursue acting, and had some success.
Kent State paid him $100,000 for the visit - the university saying that none of the money came from tuition or taxpayers.
The actor told students that they would be hit by humility, and it would be good for them.
In closing, he told the graduates to "Be generous, be fair, be courageous, be yourself."

Jazz megastar, Clare Teal, is a great discoverer of new talent.
After all, she discovered Jamie Cullum. Just five years ago, she was walking down Marlborough High Street on the way to her gig in the big marquee at the International Jazz Festival when she saw a young lad busking a Michael Jackson song.
She was so taken with his talents that she invited him then and there to do a spot in her show singing, as a duo, the Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell classic, 'There ain't no mountain high enough'.
From there Ben Cipolla's career has not looked back. Not for nothing has his voice been described as 'like having heavy liquid chocolate dripped into your ears, smooth and rich.'
In those four years he has gone from appearing at the Marlborough Fire Station to performing in the 'Battle of the Big Bands' at a Promenade Concert at the Royal Albert Hall, where he sang, the Boswell Sisters number, 'Roll on Mississippi, Roll on', with Clare and another rising star, Cherise Adams-Burnett. Those fortunate to have attended this year's Marlborough Jazz would have seen this fantastic trio at the Town Hall just a few weeks earlier.
Ben was in good company at the Albert Hall. There were at least ten other performers who'd played Marlborough Jazz on the stage, including Clare, band leader, Guy Barker and the great American saxophonist, Pee Wee Ellis.
Ben, from Great Bedwyn, was educated at St. John's School and read Popular Music (what else?) at the University of Gloucestershire. He formed his jazz septet while still at school. It includes fellow former St. John's pupil, Jonny Budd, who went on to read Modern Languages at Oxford, on electric guitar and ex-Marlborough College boy, Dan Springate, who became a multi-instrumental music student at Manchester. Not exactly flush with money, they travelled to their earliest gigs by National Express! They appeared at the opening ceremony of the Weymouth Olympics in 2012 and they were voted 'Best Newcomer' at the Marlborough Jazz Festival in 2014, an event, which he acknowledges, 'gave us such a great starting platform'. They've appeared at such top festivals as Cheltenham and Glastonbury and at such top locations as the Cadogan Hall.
It's difficult to disagree with Jazz FM presenter, Ian Shaw's simple assessment of Ben Cipolla. 'He will be huge. Mark my words.'

Radio Performances of Olivia!
Olivia de Havilland in her dual role as Terry Collins and Ruth Collins in The Dark Mirror (1946).
Olivia de Havilland made several appearances on radio programs in the 1940s and 1950s reprising some of her film roles as well as performing other work.
This week, I discovered that some of her radio performances have been archived online. These are wonderful gems that give us the opportunity to hear Olivia in her various roles. Her voice, like all great actors and actresses, is so unique that you can identify her immediately. She has a wonderful lyrical quality that so many are familiar with which brings a certain warmth to the radio. What is even more amazing is her vocal range for her characters. With just her voice, she can convey every emotion required of her character. While she displays this remarkable talent in her films, her vocal range is highlighted through her radio work.
I would like to thank TallulahDahling and ErrolFlynned for uploading the wonderful radio broadcasts of our classic actors and encourage you to visit their youtube pages linked above for more radio broadcasts from actors of the classic cinema!
About the Blog
Olivia de Havilland has reached her centenary! July 1, 2016 marks her 100th birthday! Olivia stands as the oldest living recipient of an Academy Award and is a member of a class of only four other women currently living to receive at least two best actress Academy Awards! Her career, life, and legacy continue to inspire and engage generations of fans around the world!

[UPWOD Nº19] The Boulder Shoulder Workout — Shoulders/Abs
*UPWODs are Lean It UP's Workout of the Day. For more info on UPWODs, how to do them effectively, and what they're all about, read the introductory guide before starting.
**You can find all of our previous UPWODs here.
We're going ROUND. This Monday it's all about blasting your shoulders, inflating them into round, three-dimensional boulders, and finishing strong with an abdominal six-pack tsunami.
UPWOD Nº19 is an intense shoulder and ab workout that hammers all three heads of the deltoids for a well-rounded, shoulder-popping workout. It attacks the lateral deltoids to add width; pounds the rear deltoids, which helps increase muscle definition and size across the back of the shoulders; and pounds the front deltoids to round out the trifecta.
Altogether it blends hard-hitting mass-building movements, intense supersets, incendiary compound exercises, and micro isolation exercises to carve out a pair of defined, striated, cannonball shoulders.
On top of that, you'll churn through fat and obliterate your core in the process.
Throw a little kerosine on your shoulders and watch 'em pop. Get after it.
[UPWOD Nº19] The Boulder Shoulder Workout —
Bonus info for each exercise:
- 1. [SUPERSET] Dumbbell Shoulder Press + Bicycle Crunches — do both exercises back to back.
- 2. Kettlebell Swings — use a relatively light weight. You're doing 4 sets, each of which will increase in reps and amplify the burn as you progress. Do 25-30-35-40 reps per arm for sets 1-2-3-4.
- 3. Barbell Clean & Press — you can also do these with dumbbells. Pull the barbell up, flip your grip, and hold it up by your collarbone. Once it's there, dip down slightly and explosively press it up overhead. Start with a lightweight and move the motion as fluidly as possible.
- 4. FLRs — FLRs stand for Front Raises/Lateral Raises/Reverse Flies. Effectively they're one giant superset. Do 12 front raises, then 12 lateral raises, and finish with 12 reverse flies, all without resting.
- 5. [TRIPLE DROP SET] Lateral Raises — do 10 lateral raises, drop the weight by 50%, and then do 10 additional reps. Drop the weight by 50% and do 10 reps a third time, all without rest. That's ONE drop set. For instance, you could do 20 lbs (x10), 10 lbs (x10), and then 5 lbs (x10) all in one set.
- 6. [CIRCUIT SET] Ab Planks + Ab V-Ups + Russian Twists + Side Planks + Obliques Crunches — do all 5 exercises back to back without rest. For V-Ups, tough your toes at the top of each rep. For Russian Twists, balance on your butt and touch the floor on either side. Hold a light medicine ball to up the difficulty. For Oblique Crunches, touch your elbow and knee at the top of each rep.
- 7. [BURNOUT] Eccentric Arnold Press — choose a light weight that lets you do 12-15 reps. Rotate your arms in the middle of the movement on the way up and down. You should be holding the dumbbells with an underhand grip at the bottom and an overhand grip at the top of each rep. Because it's an eccentric movement, lower slowly for 5 seconds—let your shoulders burn—and then press back up.
- 8. [BURNOUT] Front Plate Raise Holds — raise a weight plate up and hold it out in front of your face. Hold it for as long as possible until your arms give out. Choose a weight that lets you hold it for at least 30 seconds.

Let me make one thing clear: I hate hot weather.
My parents, old-fashioned and crotchety, refused to have air conditioning in our house up until a year ago. Their antiquated reasoning was that, because we live on a lake, we should have the windows open. Even if it's 101 degrees and there is no wind.
As a child, I spent a lot of sleepless nights wallowing in a pool of sweat.
I hate hot weather.
Other than that, I love summer. Absolute adore it. And I love it just a little more because I live in Michigan, land of the May snowstorms and the December heat waves.
I love summer because my mom doesn't have to work. She deserves the time off.
I love summer because of Meg's birthday. It is always a long and elaborate celebration.
I love summer because it is the only time of the year I get to play outdoor soccer.
I love the summertime sunshine that puts freckles on my arms and shoulders.
I love summer because I can go to bed not wearing much and not wake up freezing.
I love summertime trips through the Great Lakes on Grandma and Grandpa's sailboat.
I love summer because we see our extended family so much, in a beachy, casual, sit around and eat and chat and love being a family environment.
I love summer on the lake.
I love summer because I can wear lots of skirts and soccer shorts, flip-flops and soccer sandals.
I tolerate summer at work. It is slower. Less painful. More time to look for a new job.
I love summertime trips to Dairy Queen, especially when we bring Stevie along.
I love summer because I always seem to get more reading and more knitting done.
I love summertime breakfasts on the deck.
I love summer 'cause summer loves me!

text: when the cameras you used to make a living, and considered state of th art, are now considered vintage. I consider vintage 1930 or maybe pre ww2 and earlier, but I see references to mamiya 330 and rollie as vintage. My god I remember shooting my first wedding with a rolliecord. As a matter of fact it is worth the same thing now as when I bought it used in 1968. Anyway I find it interesting... I guess it's like what age do you consider people old.

How Assertiveness Improves Relationships: Beyond The Couch Podcast
I recently was interviewed by Dr. Sally Nazari for the "Beyond the Couch" podcast. We talked about assertiveness (of course) and ideas from my book, "The Assertiveness Guide For Women: How to Set Healthy Boundaries, Communicate Your Needs, and Transform Your Relationships." Over the past year, I've spoken and written a lot about this topic, but for this interview, we really focused on the main reason why it all matters. The final part of the subtitle of the book says it all: assertiveness has the power to transform your relationship. Sure, assertiveness can be beneficial for your own mental health and can help you express your feelings, thoughts, needs, and wants, but all of these reasons are means to help you achieve the primary goal of becoming closer in your connections with others. Here are some takeaways from my conversation with Dr. Sally:
What Assertiveness Is (and What It's Not)
In order to understand what assertiveness is, I find that it's helpful to first identify what it isn't, as there are many misconceptions about it: it's not being pushy, aggressive, or demanding. It also doesn't just mean speaking your mind or telling people what you think. Instead, assertiveness refers to reflecting on your emotional history, understanding and managing your feeling, then expressing yourself in a way that will strengthen your relationships. It's a way of articulating what you believe while also allowing room for differences. Overall, assertiveness is a way of being your true self while also becoming closer to others.
The Gift of Resentment
Part of being assertive is getting in touch with your inner experiences to help guide you. One thing that I've found can really give me clues to what I need to do in my emotional life is what I call the gift of resentment. This may initially seem counterintuitive: how can feeling resentful toward someone help me get closer to him/ her? The truth is that feeling frustrated, bitter, or indignation against another person can help us know when we need to set a boundary or take a stand. When I feel resentful toward someone that I care about, I can use these feelings to help me express that I feel differently and that something needs to be addressed or changed. Sure, this can be uncomfortable, particularly since women are socialized to be non-confrontational, but I've found that the most intimate relationships are ones that have weathered some storms, where concerns have been resolved, and where there's a newfound closeness. For this reason, resentment can be a great cue into determining what you need, feel, want, and think; it's a big red flag that it may be time to practice assertiveness.
Resolving Assertiveness Concerns
In my years as a therapist, I've found that the biggest obstacle for women concerning assertiveness is the fear that it will hurt their relationships. Many are scared that speaking up and expressing difference will cause harm or disruption in how they connect with others. That is always a risk we take, but the people in our lives that are worth being close to won't abandon us in the face of conflict or disagreement. Yes, it can be uncomfortable, and there's likely emotional work that needs to be done, but assertiveness is the key to showing up, being heard, and presenting your most authentic self, which will ultimately result in healthier and stronger relationships.

Involuntary intoxication is essentially a claim that someone else caused you to become intoxicated without your knowledge, and that you didn't willfully ingest drugs or alcohol.
This can be used as a defense for many crimes. For example, if you were accused of assault after starting a fight, but someone gave you drugs without your knowledge, you may claim that the drugs caused you to do things you would never have done sober. You may not even remember the incident and you can claim you didn't know what you were doing at the time.
From the standpoint of drunk driving, it often means that you were given alcohol that you didn't know about, putting you over the legal limit. When you got behind the wheel, you thought you hadn't had too much to drink and honestly believed your choice was both safe and in line with local laws.
For example, perhaps you went out to dinner. You had a drink with your meal, but, due to the hour you spent in the restaurant and the food you ate, you figured you were fine after just one drink. What you didn't know is that someone added alcohol to your drink right before you finished it off to go home.
When the police pulled you over, you blew over the legal limit, and you were just as shocked as anyone. The test showed that you had three or four drinks, but you only bought one.
This is just one example of how this defense can be used, but it shows you how it could be very realistic given the right set of circumstances. This defense is also sometimes used if pills -- like Rohypnol -- are slipped into a drink without the drinker's knowledge. If you think this has happened to you, resulting in DUI charges, you need to know your defense options.

I was recently asked about the role IT has played and will continue to play in the demand for high-end housing in Bangalore. What comes immediately to mind is the fact that the definition of premium housing itself has undergone a lot of changes in the past, and that it will continue to do so in accordance with changes in the economy.
For instance, the sizes of premium apartments in earlier times ranged between 1600-1800 sq.ft. in emerging corridors like Outer Ring Road and Whitefield. Villas were sized at 1800-2200 sq.ft. Then the definition of 'premium' changed – apartment sizes became 2000-2500 sq.ft and villas 3000-3500 sq.ft., with an accent on location. The most recent definition of premium houses in these corridors now calls for 3000-6000 sq.ft in apartments and 4000-11000 sq.ft in villa projects.
In any case, the movement of premium housing was always been good in Bangalore, with traditionally healthy sales in most projects. However, market movement has slowed down as the target audience for such projects has reduced. Nevertheless, developers with big brand names and sufficient capital can still launch such projects and wait until they are sold out. Examples of such projects in the current context would include Total Environment, Windmill Of Your Mind, Prestige White Meadows, Adharsh Palm Retreat Condominiums, etc. Interestingly, villas at similar or even higher ticket-sizes are getting sold faster than premium apartments.
Information Technology is, beyond doubt, the sole factor for the development of South Bangalore, Whitefield and ORR. The prime reason for end users or investors to invest in these corridors is IT, with all its promises and prospects. The high-end catchment in South Bangalore – Bannergatta Road up to Accenture, Koramangala and Outer Ring Road near Silk Board. Varthur Road, Whitefield Main Road and ITPL Road are ideal for premium projects. The complete stretch of the Outer Ring Road from Silk Board to Marathahalli can also accommodate high-end projects.
Meanwhile, the IT industry scenario in Bangalore looks buoyant once again. In fact, 2011 is expected to be a landmark year for technical personnel hiring as the market's visibility improves. This, in turn, will boost the expansion plans of companies riding on the positive business sentiments. Overall, there are robust growth forecasts for the IT industry, with increased expansion and consolidation bound to translate into more absorption of commercial space.
And naturally, revival in the IT industry will drive the residential market, riding on greater buoyancy in consumer confidence and increased spending power owing to anticipated salary hikes.

General Ledger
In Lesson 4 we used T-Accounts to record the transactions for ABC, the lawn mowing guys. What you didn't know at the time is that we were actually recording transactions in General Ledger Accounts. A General Ledger is just a formal set of T-Accounts. Each account that we want to track and keep up with has a separate page or pages maintained in a record book called the General Ledger. The book is organized into major sections just like the Accounting Equation that we studied in previous lessons. Do you have any idea what these sections might be ? Come on this question is not that hard. The general ledger's major sections are Assets, Liabilities, Owner's Equity, Revenues, Expenses, and Draws.
For each item (account) in our General Ledger, we record the increases and decreases for a period (usually a month) and calculate its ending balance. The ending balance of the account is easily determined by adding the increases and subtracting the decreases from the account's beginning period balance.
Ending Account Balance = Beginning Balance + Increases - Decreases
If you noticed in my above equation I used the terms increases and decreases. If you also recall in our discussion about debits and credits in Lesson 3, I tried to stress the fact that when applied to bookkeeping these terms need to be associated with the types of accounts.
We also should know by now that the type of accounts have a normal balance that is either a debit or credit balance. So actually the above equation is stated in two ways. The equation is stated one way for debit balance accounts, and another way for credit balance accounts.
Using our bookkeeping terms debits and credits, we come up with the following equations:
Debit Balance Accounts Equation
Credit Balance Accounts Equation
Simply stated a General Ledger is just a book containing the summarized financial transactions and balances of the accounts for all of a business's assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, and expense accounts.
One other record that goes hand in hand with the general ledger and that we've touched on before and used in the prior lesson is The Chart Of Accounts. Remember The Chart Of Accounts is simply a listing of all the accounts in the general ledger that contains the account's name, a brief description of the account, and usually an account number assigned to aid in recording and tracking transactions.
It's chief purpose is to serve as an aid (reference) for looking up accounts and their associated account numbers.
For this lesson, we expanded our chart of accounts by adding account numbers and grouped the numbers into ranges that represent the major type of accounts.

Normally a numbering system is set up with a range of numbers for assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, and expense accounts. ABC Assets have a range from 100-199 ;Liabilities a range from 200-299; Equity a range from 300-399, Revenues a range from 400-499, and Expenses a range from 500-599.

Notice that the account has an amount column for debits (left side or first column) and an amount column for credits (right side or second column).
General Journal
Journals are preliminary records where business transactions are first entered into the accounting system. The journal is commonly referred to as the book of original entry. Specialized Journals-are journals used to initially record special types of transactions such as sales, cash disbursements, and cash receipts in their own journal.
The end result of double entry bookkeeping is having an up to date , in balance, and properly posted Ledger. In our prior lessons we recorded all our debits and credits (transactions) directly in the General Ledger. This would work for a small business that had very few transactions but would become unwieldy for most businesses with any volume of activity. By its very definition the General Ledger is supposed to be a summary record of a business's financial transactions.
It logically follows that since we only want summary amounts in our Ledger we need to record our detail entries some place else first. What record(s) do we use to do this ? You're right ! Journals are our preliminary records. All our transactions are first entered in a preliminary record called a journal or book of original entry. This process is called journalizing. After our business transactions have been entered in our journal(s), they are then periodically (usually monthly) summarized and totaled and then transferred (posted) to the General Ledger as summary entries.
What type of information is included in the
Journal Record ?
The journals contain all the chronological (by date) information necessary to record debit and credit amounts in the accounts of the General Ledger.
Sample of A General Journal Page
Do you notice anything odd about any of our entries in our General Journal ? Look at entry number 4 (GJ-1-4). It doesn't have a posting reference. Why not ? The answer is simple. Entry Number 4 has not yet been posted to the General Ledger. This is our way of keeping up with what entries have and have not been posted to the General Ledger.
Check me out to see if I'm telling the truth General Ledger Check
Remember ABC ? Yeah, it's the mowing guys.
ABC's Beginning Account Balances as of December 1, xxxx
Note:Credit balances are indicated by using parentheses ( ).
1. December 2, xxxx ABC
mows a client's yard and receives a check # 484 from the customer for $50 for
the service provided.
General Journal
The transactions for ABC are presented below in a formal General Journal. Review the entries and if you have any questions go back to Lesson 4 for detailed discussions for each of the transactions.
The reference numbers refer to General Journal, Entry Number, and Page Number. GJ-1-1 means GJ (General Journal), Page 1, and Entry 1. The Posting Reference (Post Ref.) is the General Ledger Account Number taken from our Simple Chart Of Accounts.
ABC's General Ledger
ABC's General Ledger with the transactions posted (transferred) from the General Journal follows.
Revenue & Expense
Trial Balance
We used a Trial Balance at the end of Lesson 4 to check our postings. I just didn't tell you at the time. Let's review the formal definition. A Trial Balance is a listing of all the accounts appearing in the general ledger with the dollar amount of the debit or credit balance of each. It is used to make sure the books are "in balance" -total debits and credits are equal.
A trial balance is just a worksheet that bookkeeper's and accountants prepare from the General Ledger to check that the books (General Ledger) are in balance (Debit Account Balances = Credit Account Balances).
Let's prepare our trial balance for ABC at the end of December.
Sure enough our debit balances equal our credit balances. How did we determine what account balances had a debit balance and what account balances had a credit balance ? It was easy because we used the parentheses ( ) to denote that an account balance was a credit. Therefore, all the balances that are not enclosed in parentheses make up our Debit Balance Accounts and all the balances enclosed in parentheses make up our Credit Balance Accounts.
So you know
Note: The plus (+) and minus (sign) are often used by accounting and bookkeeping programs to indicate debits and credits. Don't get confused and think that the plus sign means an increase or that the minus sign means a decrease. They do not. In this case, they are simply symbols that mean either a debit or a credit.
Normal Balances for the Types of Accounts
Just to keep you on your toes - do you recall what type of accounts normally have a debit or credit balance ?
Need proof ?
Sure enough, our Assets, Owner's Draws, and Expense Type of Accounts are listed in the Debit Balance Column. Likewise, our Liability, Owner's Capital, and Revenue Type of Accounts are listed in the Credit Balance Column.
How do you initially determine that an Account has a Debit or Credit Balance ? This is simply a matter of determining if the Account has more Debit Amounts Posted or More Credit Amounts Posted. If More Debits Than Credits have been posted to the Account, the Account will have a Debit Balance. Likewise, if More Credits Than Debits have been posted to the Account, the Account will have a Credit Balance.
You have now been introduced to some of bookkeeping and accounting's formal records, namely the General Ledger and General Journal. You could get by with just these two records, but if your business like most has many transactions instead of the few that ABC had you'd be spending a heck of a lot of time recording and posting. What's the solution to streamlining the recording and posting processes.
Remember when I introduced Journals in this lesson where I briefly mentioned Special Journals ? Well, they are the solution.
Some Special Journals a business will normally have are:
All these journals are designed to record special types of business transactions and post the totals accumulated in these journals to the General Ledger periodically (usually once a month).
Instead of using just one journal to record all our business transactions we use many. Although this tutorial is not going to discuss the Special Journals I wanted to make you aware of them and the purpose they serve.
If you want to learn more about Special Journals, my So, you want to learn Bookkeeping - Special Journals tutorial covers this topic.
Before we move on to Lesson 6, since they say that a picture's worth a thousand words, let's use a picture to illustrate the flow of information (business transactions) into our bookkeeping records. You're right Financial Statements haven't been discussed, but guess what's coming in Lesson 6 ?

"The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't by subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is, whichever is greaterÂ… "
These words form the opening drone of Nadir, Arthur Loves Plastic's most recent creation. They waft just under the surface of a sluggish drum loop, recited with vapid good cheer, an educational filmstrip voiceover that is the verbal equivalent of Muzak. You find yourself hypnotically lulled through the song, the way a soft, cyclical melody might keep you blankly wandering the aisles at Macy's.
This knack for puréeing quirky banality into a mesmerizing groove has made Bev Stanton, the woman behind the subject-and-predicate moniker, a virtual touchstone in her genre. Based in Silver Spring, Stanton's work is a mixture of loops, samples and vocals, less airy than Moby, more playful than Orbital, and, she's been told, well suited for a day of whisking the couch.
"People recommend listening to my music while doing housework, " she says. "I get that response consistently. "
Stanton began her life as a musician in 1992 playing bass for various indie bands. One of those bands, And Then There Were None — named for the Agatha Christie novel because they kept losing members — provided her first brush with electronic music. After saying goodbye to yet another drummer, the band decided to use a drum machine instead. As other band members departed, they, too, were replaced with more electronics.
"As we kept integrating more of the MIDI stuff, it started to become our m.o., " says Stanton. "After a while, the band wanted to get back to basics, so I started Arthur Loves Plastic as a side project. "
Named for her cat, who has a soft spot for plastic bags, Arthur Loves Plastic has become a globally recognized name in what could be called experimental electronica, an achievement made possible by the Internet. Since music of this type is basically slivers and chunks of different sounds all mixed together, it's ideal for WAV file sharing with other artists who have created sounds of their own. The Tapegerm Collective, an online community, most of whom have never met in real life but nonetheless collaborate on songs, is the source of much of Stanton's material.
"Sometimes it's just too much to start with a blank slate, " she says. "With Tapegerm, we can all upload loops to the server and get inspiration from each other. Otherwise you're just creating in a vacuum. "
Stanton supplements these connections by spinning live, although she admits that spinning is "more of a means to an end. "
"For some reason, people want to see me push a button, " she says, bewildered.
And because being a female in this genre is a bit like being the only girl in the tree house, she's also a part of the First Ladies DJ Collective, a female DJ community that, she points out, is a "a valid way to correct an imbalance, " and not about "ghettoizing by gender. "
"Plus I'm too shy to go out and get gigs myself, so I hang out with these girls, " she adds.
"These girls " make up Stanton's folk-free existence — an anomaly in the lesbian community, she feels, where so many women seem to be up to their organic hemp sandals in acoustic guitars and empowerment.
"Why are lesbians so granola? " she asks. "I don't get all the Lilith Fair stuff. It perplexes me to no end. "
But she also believes that the formally rigid boundaries demarcating "gay music " — folk for women, house for men — are dissolving as the community becomes more self-aware. Locally, Stanton joins gay musicians Richard Morel and Bob Mould as artists eschewing these borders. Also, parties like Feint and Filler in Adams Morgan are pushing the limits of what people expect from queer events.
"I think there's always been gays you can't pigeonhole, " she says. "The bigger phenomenon is that now they're getting print. You always had Cole Porter, Billy Strayhorn, but the stereotypes are now getting buried. "
And as this occurs, gay artists are increasingly free to utilize their talents for different causes. Stanton, who works for the Drug Policy Alliance, an organization that lobbies for drug law reform, has incorporated her job into her music, collaborating on an album called No More Drug War. Her contributed song, "America's Apartheid, " decries what she sees as a war being waged on culture, and samples sound bytes from a video put out by the Drug Policy Alliance.
"The drug war has always been a war on cultures in some respects. Jazz musicians, [hippies] and now the rave scene, " she says. "It's like, the drunk frat boys are fine, but the legislators will target these cultural groups. "
Though raves and electronic music events have lost some of their dark mystique, Stanton thinks "the taboo factor is still pretty significant, " citing the RAVE Act, a bill introduced in the Senate that specifically targeted rave promoters for prosecution.
"The scene's been co-opted into pop culture, " she says, "but I think a lot of parents still don't understand what it's about. "
Stanton became frustrated enough with that sort of parental sheltering to move out of her former neighborhood, Takoma Park, where she saw only "parents who wanted to raise their kids in a hermetically sealed environment. "
"There's only so many speed-bump petitions you can sign in one lifetime, " she says of her traffic-conscious former neighbors. "In Takoma Park, they all act like they're into diversity, but when it gets right down to it, they're the most Not-In-My-Backyard people you've ever met. "
Too orthodox a natural habitat for an experimental musician named for her pet's favorite toy, though Stanton admits that her groove-oriented nature sometimes renders her ostracized by experimental purists. She tries not to "think in terms of her audience " when creating, and shies away from self-promotion. Hence, the pseudonym.
"I think the names I invent are better than the one my parents did. "
Arthur Love Plastic's CD release party takes place Saturday, February 22, at 8 p.m., at the Montgomery Community College Planetarium, located at Takoma Avenue and Fenton Street in Takoma Park, MD. Visit www.arthurlovesplastic.com for more info.

Melissa Leach: Colorado to the Cayman Islands
Was there a compelling call or interesting story behind your interest in teaching abroad?
I love Colorado, but have been itching to travel! I grew up overseas — in Indonesia and Scotland — and I miss exploring other cultures. My friend used ISS to move overseas and she highly recommended it to me! At first I was really nervous- it's one thing to say you're going to pick up and move, it's another to actually do it. However, after exploring my new school's website and talking with the director and staff, I felt comfortable that it would be a great fit for me! So, I've accepted a position with CIS for next year!
I'm a behavior interventionist mostly. I work with students who have severe emotional and behavioral disabilities. I love my kids! They always have the best personalities and are really fun to grow with throughout the years. I also do Mild/Moderate SPED, which is what I will be doing at CIS. I'm excited to help them grow as a special education department, and also ready to see new structures and teaching methods that I can adopt!
What inspired you to sign up with a service like ISS, and how has your experience been?
I signed up because my friend used ISS 6 years ago to be a librarian abroad and has loved it! She recommended it to me because it was a safe and efficient way to apply for jobs overseas. My experience has been great! It was easy to create a profile and I like the ease of seeing which jobs are available each week. I have only been on the site for a year and have already interviewed with many schools. As of this month, I have accepted a position in The Cayman Islands and am super excited to begin my adventure!
What excites you most about your new role and school? How did you know when you found the right fit?
I think exploring a new place and culture is the most exciting part of this! I am ready for a change and am excited to meet new people! I really believe having three long, detailed interviews with not only the director of the school, but also the upper principal, really helped me decide Cayman International School is the right fit for me as an educator. Their teaching philosophies are very much aligned with mine. I felt that right away we had a comfortable, good rapport with each other. I felt at ease with them and that, for me, was super important. I have no doubt that they will be a really kind, fun, and open-minded learning environment for me to join.
What research did you do before accepting your job?
I'll be honest — it's embarrassing how little I knew about The Cayman Islands before I interviewed with the school. As soon as we were done, I began doing some research about the history of Cayman and present-day life in the Islands. I am also lucky to have a first-hand resource — my cousin lives in Cayman and so she has been a great person to go to with questions. I also asked a ton of questions during my interviews. What is island living like? What activites and social events are common on the weekends? What's the hardest part about living abroad? The best part? I think one of the best things about the interviewers from The Cayman International School is that they wanted to make sure not only the school, but the location, would be a good fit for me. They gave me numerous resources to look up in order to make a pretty educated decision.
What advice would you give to educators looking to recruit overseas for the first time?
I would say it is very tempting to jump on your first offer because the idea of going overseas is so exciting! It is super important to do your research. Just because a school seems like a good fit doesn't mean that the city will be. I think allowing yourself time to look into different places is important. My friend who has been traveling and working at numerous schools (all through ISS) has given me great advice: you know the kind of person you are and what's important for you to be happy. Look for those things before accepting an offer.
Thank you for sharing your story and advice, Melissa! All the best in the coming transitions. We can't wait to hear how you will make a difference at CIS!

Modern Day Gold Rush In Africa Comes With A Huge Price Tag
Africa's Gold Rush ~
The Deadliest Medical Crisis In Modern Medical History Is Due To Gold Mining In Africa....
In what has amounted to a 21st century gold rush, hundreds of children have died in the Northern area of Nigeria due to their parents desperately trying to provide for their families. In an area stricken with extreme poverty, the gold that has been found here has enabled people to purchase things they have never been able to own before. They have been able to put brand new tin roofs on their homes and have bought new clothing and motorcycles for transportation due to the gold being found in Nigeria.
But all of this new found prosperity has come with a horrendous price tag, a price that no one should ever have to pay for the things necessary for survival. In the process of finding and extracting gold, the ore is pounded by the adults. This creates a dust that blows everywhere, and it usually ends up landing on the ground where the children play and where poultry are grazing. This dust is loaded with lead. Unfortunately, people in Nigeria, and especially small children are being poisoned by the lead and are dying in huge numbers.
The promise of new found prosperity has kept many of the residents searching for the ore and pounding it to extract any pieces of the gold. The dust is then washed to sift out the gold particles, thereby contaminating wells in the washing process. An estimated 3,000 people have been treated for high levels of lead in their blood, and the number may be even higher than that.
More buyers traveling to Africa to buy gold are paying top dollar for the gold they buy there. This is keeping the people in Northern Nigeria working feverishly to extract whatever gold they can find. In the process, the children who are dying in record numbers are the unintended consequences of this new lifestyle.
Doctors Without Borders Is Trying To Help ~
Medical personnel are there from Doctors Without Borders (also known as Medecins Sans Frontieres). They say they cannot remember seeing a medical crisis of this proportion at any other time in modern history. Lead poisoning causes brain damage, miscarriages and death among small children whose bodies are more affected by lead than anyone's. In all the area in Northern Nigeria, 29 villages have been tested for lead levels and have been deemed to be at unsafe lead levels.
Some of the cases of lead poisoning were so severe that levels were being found that were 15 times the level that is usually treated by medical personnel. In a time when lead poisoning worldwide has been on the decrease, it has been very shocking for medical personnel from Doctors Without Borders to see the extremely high rates of severe lead poisoning that exist today in Northern Nigeria.
The United Nations Children's Fund (also known as UNICEF) has been active in working to clean up the area, and efforts were made to ban the mining, but any bans are very difficult to enforce. In fact, many of the children being treated for lead poisoning have come back again after they have already been treated previously. They are treated, sent home and then their parents go back to the small scale mining they were doing before. In the process, they are re-poisoning the children.
These are very poor people, living in the worst poverty conditions imaginable and mostly trying to survive, just to be hit by this horrific poisoning when they attempt to get themselves out of poverty. The people in Northern Nigeria see others from nearby villages who have become recently prosperous. Those people are now able to buy things and put decent metal roofs on their homes, all due to the money received from gold. This is when they think that they should do the same. The consequences of small scale gold mining have been stunningly detrimental in terms of the health of the people, especially the children.
It has been estimated that a family could earn as much as $100 a day by grinding and processing about five bags of the ore. This is more money than many of them have ever seen before. It is estimated that about 10 million people world wide have found employment in small scale gold mining operations. And for most of these people, this is the best chance they have ever had to escape the overwhelming poverty that most of them live under.
The ore is ground, then run under water to remove the light particles. Then when the villagers treat the gold dust themselves to further extract the gold, they use mercury in the process. This mercury has also been causing health problems in those exposed to it, including such health issues as damage to the central nervous system.
Efforts to stop the mining have thus far been unsuccessful and now in place of trying to stop the mining, efforts are being concentrated on educating the people in ways to do the gold mining more safely.
As long as there continues to be demand for the gold and as long as more than 85% of the people in rural areas of Northern Nigeria attempt to survive on less than $1 a day, mining will continue to be seen as a way out of poverty. And this continues to happen even though the cost is extremely high in terms of medical damage and loss of life. The child mortality rate in children under the age of five has always been high in this region, due to other diseases such as malaria, measles and meningitis. Mining has magnified and increased the infant and small child mortality rate even more.
The drug used to treat lead poisoning is being provided free of cost by medical groups there. It is a drug known as Succimer. Normally, a dose of the drug for 19 days costs over $300, but it is being provided for free. Succimer binds to the excess lead in the body and causes lead to be released from the child's body through urine. However, there are some children in parts of Nigeria that are on their fifth and sixth course of the drug. And most of these children suffer permanent brain damage due to the effects of lead poisoning.
It is expected to take years to clean up the mess that has been created by small gold mining operations that have now contaminated the countryside with high levels of lead dust. One of the worst unintended consequences of the crisis is found in the bricks that are being used to build homes for people... they are now contaminated with lead, and as these bricks age and flake, more generations of children and residents will be poisoned in the future.
With the high price of gold remaining stable, small scale gold mining is expected to continue and it is thought that the lead poisoning problem will continue to affect future generations. Girls that are now still very young will grow up and will most likely have lead in their bodies when they do one day become pregnant. This excess lead may lead to miscarriages.
Groups like Doctors Without Borders are doing wonderful things there, but it continues to be such an overwhelming problem that even they are seeing the futility of their efforts. It is hard to imagine when living in parts of the world that are prosperous, the desperation that drives people to put their lives and the lives of their children at risk, because of money. The crisis caused by this modern day gold rush in Nigeria is very real, and it will be difficult if not impossible to ever solve the problem.

An Incredibly Difficult Problem To Solve
How Will This Problem Be Solved?
Very interesting hub. Gold never travels alone! Thank you for sharing.
Oh, this is such an atrocity and the poor children. I was unaware of such goings on. Will be praying about this one. In His Love, Faith Reaper
This is so sad that these people have been so poor for so long, they have gone crazy now with no regard for the health of their children. I'm glad the Doctors Without Borders are there to help. I hope the people that are trying to teach them the proper way to mine the gold can get through to them quickly. This is a wonderful hub, very interesting. Voted up, interesting and shared! Have a wonderful day Kathy! :)
Great article about these problems in Africa. Outside of gold, there are similar problems with rare earth mining in China and elsewhere. I wrote some about such deplorable and toxic conditions in Inner Mongolia.
I didn't realize this was happening. Sounds like the use of abestos in the US -- later we realize the damage to our health. I am so glad that Dr's With Borders is helping to remedy the situtation. It is amazing how greed causes other's harm. I pray that people will realize the harm it is doing, change their methods and help those affected to heal. Thanks for sharing! Voted up!

About The Book
Rules for Rebels
The Science of Victory in Militant History
Oxford University Press
US – Oct 2018/UK- Sep 2018
Ever wonder why militant groups behave as they do? For instance, why did Al Qaeda attack the World Trade Center whereas the African National Congress tried to avoid civilian bloodshed? Why does Islamic State brag over social media about its gory attacks, while Hezbollah denies responsibility or even apologizes for its carnage?
This book shows that militant group behavior depends on the strategic intelligence of the leaders. The author has extensively studied the political plights of hundreds of militant groups throughout world history and reveals that successful militant leaders have followed three rules. These rules are based on original insights from the fields of political science, psychology, criminology, economics, management, marketing, communication, and sociology.
It turns out there's a science to victory in militant history. But even rebels must follow rules.

CARA DELEVINGNE has landed another film role, this time alongside Amber Heard, Jim Sturgess and Billy Bob Thornton in a film adaptation of Martin Amis's 1989 murder mystery book London Fields. Shooting has already started in the capital's East End.
Although no details of Delevingne's role have been released, she looks almost unrecognisable in the part - if images from the set are anything to go by. The film's make-up artist, Sian Edwards, tweeted a picture of the model wearing a dreadlock brunette wig (pictured left).
The story centres on femme fatale clairvoyant Nicola - played by Amber Heard - who tries to bring about her own murder in order to avoid ageing. The film will be created by first-time director Mathew Cullen, who is known for his music videos and adverts.
The news marks another addition to Delevingne's acting CV, having also recently been cast in British film, Kids In Love.

Our sister paper in NYC's Cooper Square, the Village Voice, released its Pazz & Jop poll Thursday. The annual coast-to-coast survey of music critics ranks the previous year's best (according to them, anyway) albums and singles. Rocks Off did not vote this year - as we wrote in the paper paper a while back, the only 2009 album we thought was strong enough all the way through to merit inclusion on any kind of "Top 10" list was the Decemberists' The Hazards of Love (which came in at No. 29). Plus, the week the ballots were due we were getting ready to take the next week off and... well, we kind of forgot. However, Houston was well-represented by Rocks Off No. 2 (aka Craig "Hella" Hlavaty), our own "Classic Rock Bob" Ruggiero, the Chronicle's Andrew Dansby, former Chronicle music critic Rick Mitchell and Houston Calling chief/occasional Press contributor David A. Cobb. Or perhaps we should say at least Houston was fairly well-represented among the 697 voters. Now, about that question in the headline... Not counting the two misguided souls who voted for Beyonce's I Am... Sasha Fierce, good enough to place an album released in 2008 at No. 565, the first Houstonian we found was all... the... way... down at No. 898. Critics are asked to distribute 100 points among their 10 choices for single and album (albeit no more than 20 or less than 5 for any one), and someone gave Slim Thug's Boss Of All Bosses 12 of theirs. So congratulations, Houston musicians - rockers, rappers, honky-tonkers, blues cats, all of you. You are officially off the national musical radar. All the way off. But we're OK with that if you are - personally, we kind of like having the country's best-kept secret of a music scene down here on the bayou. The 2010 P&J big winners should surprise absolutely no one who even remotely pays attention to these sorts of things (a constituency that is, Rocks Off is fairly certain, mostly other music critics). The top three were Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion (meh), Phoenix's Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix (which we did like) and Neko Case's Middle Cyclone (which we kind of liked). Texas' 2009 champ turned out to be St. Vincent, who lives in Brooklyn now but whose Actor placed No. 12. Miranda Lambert's Revolution came in at No. 25, and would have placed higher had either Rocks Off, our buddy Lonesome Onry and Mean or the Chronicle's Joey Guerra voted, probably the only time ever in the history of humanity such a statement is true. No other Texans placed in the Top 100. On the singles side, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind" won in a walk. The only Texans in the Top 50 were St. Vincent's "Actor Out of Work" at No. 42 and Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" at No. 47. So... yeah. See everything you could possibly want to know about the 2010 Pazz & Jop poll here.

At Eastern Suburbs Property Group our happy clients are testament to the service we provide.
We understand that our clients are our business and we pride ourselves on ensuring every client is 100% satisfied with our service and the results we achieve.
It is the letters we receive that keep our team so motivated to provide a real estate experience that surpasses that offered by our competitors. We also feel that the words below are a true reflection of our work and an indication of the service we provide
Thanks for showing a refreshing approach for a real estate agent. Showing attention to every detail, giving me quality advice, taking calls and seeing me after hours. Your work was above and beyond the call of duty and you showed every effort in maximising value for me. I am ever so thankful for selling a difficult property on a main road for the amount that I wanted within 3 weeks in a depressed market!!
It was an absolute pleasure working with you and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to friends and family.
Kind regards,
Dear Scott,
I would like to thank you, on behalf of my Sisters and I for the thoroughly professional way in which you handled the sale of our late Mothers property. Your advice and effort to achieve the best possible outcome was greatly appreciated given the circumstances that we all were under. Your help in organising gardeners etc, was also of great benefit to us considering our distance from the property.
I would hope that you will find many other properties in the Eastern Suburbs to market and I would be more than happy to provide reference for future client's if required.
Yours Faithfully,
Hi Scott,
Just a note to thank you for your professionalism and outstanding result on the sale of our home. After enduring the humiliation and heart break of going to auction with another agent and not achieving anything near the result promised, it was refreshing to encounter your negotiating skills and reassuring manner in achieving a most satisfactory outcome.
Thanks so much once again and we wish you much success in the future.
I was very pleased with the price you obtained for the sale of my property by Private Treaty.
Previously I have been registered as a Valuer by the NSW Registration Board. From my research of current sales in the area, I believe that the price you obtained for my subject property was around $50,000 greater than could have been expected from my research.
I believe this improved price obtained for my property was due to your interpersonal and negotiation skills and that this price would not have been achieved if the property had gone to Auction.
I cannot thank you enough for achieving such a fantastic result.
Yours faithfully,
Thank you very much for selling our apartment. Colleen and I are very pleased with the outcome and would be happy to recommend you to others. We are especially grateful for the extra services such as checking the mail and arranging the electrician. These have made the whole process a lot easier given that we were on the other side of the Earth whilst our property was being sold.
Kindest Regards,
Many thanks for selling the apartment today. I put all my trust in you and I guess you may have wondered why I seemed a bit detached about it all, but when I gave you the opportunity to sell the unit I figured that you would take care of it all and you did. I am very pleased that we reached the asking price.
So that's two units in 6 months that you have sold for me, both swiftly and at my price expectations.
Many thanks mate,
Hi Mark,
Sandra & I want to say thanks to you personally, as well as Scott, for your efforts in selling our unit with a minimum of fuss. Mark your professional manner when you originally met Sandra back in October struck an immediate cord with her, and despite several other professional submissions including from the incumbent managing agent, she was convinced you were the man for the job. Having backed her instinct, I'm glad I did. You ensured the renovations were done seamlessly and by professional operators. You saved us money on the carpet where we otherwise would have spent it. You managed the sale process, including a tricky final day, with aplomb. In short, I'd be happy to recommend your services and those of the ESPG team without hesitation.
Please feel free to use my remarks as a referral.
Thanks also for recommending Peter Wise. Again a top operator, very experienced and made sure things proceeded smoothly.
No doubt we'll be talking but thanks again for your collective effort.

We provide Men B vaccination (meningitis B) for children over 2 months of age and adults. 3 doses required for children 2-23 months of age and 2 doses for individuals 2 years of age and above. See here the package leaflet: Information
Meningitis and septicaemia caused by meningococcal group B bacteria can affect people of any age, but is most common in babies and young children. Men B vaccine was added to the NHS childhood immunisation programme in 1st September 2015. This new programme made England the first country in the world to offer a national and publicly funded Men B vaccination programme.
Those born before 1 May 2015 are not eligible to receive the Men B vaccine as part of the routine immunisation schedule on the NHS.
Parents whose children are not eligible to receive this vaccine as part of the NHS national programme, can get their child to be immunised with the Men B vaccine privately.
Men B vaccine is given to individuals from 2 months of age and older. There are no data on the use of this vaccine in adults above 50 years of age.
For more information see FAQs about the MenB vaccine from Meningitis Now.
The Men B vaccine was licensed by the European Medicines Agency in January 2013 and all vaccines are extensively tested for safety and effectiveness before being licensed. This vaccine has been through ten years of trials in the laboratory and among volunteers. Although the vaccine is not used routinely anywhere else in the world, over a million doses have been given in over 35 countries worldwide, with no safety concerns identified.
Many babies have no side effects at all after having the Men B vaccine, and in those that do, any side effects tend to be mild and short-lived. Read more about possible Men B vaccine side effects.
There are many different Men B strains. This vaccine has been developed to offer protection against as many as possible. Once it has been in use for some time, it will be possible to calculate the coverage and continue with vaccine research to improve the protection it gives. Other vaccines exist to protect against other types of meningitis and septicaemia, however, there is no vaccine to protect against all types, so remaining vigilant is vital. Learn the signs and symptoms today.
No, the vaccine cannot cause meningitis.
Yes, Men B vaccine can be given at the same time, or at any time before or after, as any other vaccines including Men ACWY and chickenpox.Scientific studies have shown that vaccines do not overload a child's immune system.

Using Pages and Folders to organize your Workspace
In WizeHive, form entries are called Pages.
Pages are automatically named based on fields in the form. For web forms one field can be selected as the page name. For application and advanced cart forms, two fields can be selected to be utilized as the page name.
Sidebar overview
On many of the WizeHive tabs you will see a Sidebar. The Sidebar is a display of entries, tags, and search. Within the sidebar, you will find the Page list, folders list, and configurations that are specific to the pages.
Add Pages
In the right corner of the sidebar, you will see a small plus sign. This is a quick shortcut to create a page. This button will bring the form up and you can enter and save information here. After you click save, the page will be visible in the record list. Next to the 'Add Page' button there is a refresh button. This will update the list to reflect the latest changes. Please note that you can only add a page in this way if you are using a webform; to add a new page to an application form, you must access the form as an applicant and create a login username and password.
Add a Folder
Under that plus sign icon, there is a quick shortcut to "Add a Folder". This button will bring up a window that will allow you to name a new folder. Folders allow you to group related pages together.
Manage Folders
Under the plus sign icon, select "Manage Folders". On the "Manage Folders" window you will have the option to delete, rename, or move each of your folders, or to create a new folder. To delete a record on the Manage Folders window, click "Delete". A confirmation window will pop-up. Click OK. (NOTE: Deleting a folder will not delete the contents within that folder. The content would simply move to a new temporary folder called "Uncategorized." To rename, press "Edit." To move your folders, you can drag and drop the folders listed. Finally, to create additional folders, click "Add Folder."
Display Options
Allows sorting by Groups, Sort by Name or Rating, Filter by: Show All Records, Show All Records I Haven't Reviewed, Show All Records Assigned To Me, Show All Records Assigned To Me
Moving Pages
Pages can be moved between folders manually by the administrator. In order to do this, while on the data tab, click the name of the application in the folder panel.
Above the application, you will see a Move To button; when clicked, it will show the names of folders in the workspace. Select the folder you'd like to move the application to; upon clicking, it will move.
Changing Application Status
There are two statuses in WizeHive which are built into the system and inherently affect how an applicant interacts with an application: Submitted and Draft. By default, applications, once created, appear in the Drafts folder, and thus have a draft status. Anything in the Drafts folder is viewed as the system as unsubmitted/incomplete and is editable by the applicant.
When an application is submitted, the application moves into the Submissions folder. At this point the application is viewed by the system as complete, and it is no longer editable by the applicant.
If you would like to give an applicant access to a submitted application such that it is editable again, you can manually move the application back to the Drafts folder. However, the reverse is not true: if a draft application is moved to the Submissions folder by an administrator, it does not become submitted/complete.
Please note that the above does not work for Advanced Cart.
Tags are a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as a record). This kind of metadata helps describe an item and allows it to be found by browsing or searching. Tags are generally chosen informally and personally by the item's creator or by its viewer, depending on the project. Tags can be utilized to create a sub-list or grouping for easy record reference.
Search Capability
WizeHive gives you the ability to Search for information in one or more records from the Data Tab. Click on Search from the top of the left sidebar in the Data Tab:
Once you have clicked on "search" the following will appear:
Enter the information that you wish to search on, which will be searched within a record or within a record name.
Special Considerations
You can create an advanced search by going to the Reports tab and creating a special report titled "*search results". You can select available fields to appear on this report. Add the view with the name "*search results", add the fields, and then save the new view.
You can now use this new view as part of your Search. Go to the Data Tab and select "Search". In the Search field, enter the data you are looking for as you normally would, and select "Go".
You will then be able to see enhanced details about the search by clicking on "See Details"

Does it have any pockets?
The pants are a 5-pocket style. There are two front pockets and a smaller front watch pocket. There are two patch pockets on the back.

What is the inseam for Miss's jeans?
The lengths for the inseams: Misses 29"; Misses Long 31"; Petite 26 1/2".

Just received these today in a misses 4 and it states midrise on the tag and it definitely is. But...the website states that it sits at the waist, which is why I purchased them. Is that a typo on the website?
Talbots mid-rise pants and jeans are designed to sit at the waist. For a higher waist fit, look for pants/jeans with 'High-Rise' or High-Waist' in the item description.
Date published: 2019-12-30
What is the inseam on the long size?
The inseam on the misses long is 31 inches.

Would these jeans fit similar to slim ankle cords?
Yes, the fit should be very similar to our Slim Ankle Cords, item C519889.
Date published: 2019-03-29
I have both the Luna Grey and Never Fade black, Misses size 2. I noticed that the black ones seem to be longer (they have a 30" inseam, whereas the grey are 29"). I noted the black contain more cotton. Is the extra inch to allow for shrinkage?
The slim ankle pant in Luna Grey and the pant in Never Fade Black are made by different vendors. The slight difference in the fabrication percentages in the two pairs of jeans is not of significance at all. Both pairs should have a 29 inch inseam in a misses size.
Date published: 2020-06-02
What is the length of the Misses Long? I wear 10L.
The misses long sizes have a 31" inseam.
Date published: 2018-11-19
OK, they are slim ankle, but are they also slim in the hips? 5'10" 118 lbs. thank you!
Slim ankle fit is narrow from the knee to the hem. Skinny leg sits closest to the body from thigh to hem.
