The University of Puerto Rico – Río Piedras (UPRRP) is one of the leading Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) in the Nation, as demonstrated by its strong track record as the leading source of underrepresented minorities who go on to professional careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), and its emergence as an important research center. These important results have been fostered via a strong institutional commitment to the integration of research and education, and through a close working relationship with the National Science Foundation (NSF) and other federal agencies. NSF has funded a cadre of high-quality of STEM programs at UPRRP, including Math and Science Partnership (MSP), Robert Noyce Math and Science Master Teacher Programs, Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT), Center for Research and Education in Science and Technology (CREST), Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER), Undergraduate Mentoring in Environmental Biology (UMEB) and Geo-Internships.
Using the Innovation through Institutional Integration (I3) model, we seek to "maximize our yields" by building a Center for Science and Mathematics Education (CSME) based on existing NSF funded programs in the broad area of environmental sciences and the relationships they have established with the STEM educational community in Puerto Rico. More specifically, CSME will focus initially on the solid waste problem in Puerto Rico, and later expand to other interdisciplinary issues of relevance. The Center will provide the infrastructure for developing cooperative teaching approaches, supporting pilot studies, support for internet resources and for research in science education, including statistics support, building survey support, and other assessment tools. By utilizing funded NSF projects that are at different points on the educational continuum, CSME will have a holistic effect on the pipeline, leading to increased numbers (yields) of students entering careers in STEM fields.

On the industry , you will find many different ugg duvet cover readily available. Aside from attending to to this magnitude of this area, you also had better check at the shade of the sets. You should really have a matching color involving the sets and the shade of the duvet. If you want to have duvet covers queen, you then should accommodate the sets together with colour that is appropriate and organic lighting so that both the set and also the design of the room can match one another.

The comic-book purists are going to howl over Iron Man 3 for various reasons, the least of which is the fact that Tony Stark, the billionaire genius playboy philanthropist who now has in his garage a veritable army of Iron Man suits, spends barely any time at all in any of them here. It's very much not ironic that screenwriters Shane Black — yes, Lethal Weapon Shane Black — and Drew Pearce, a British TV writer, are playing around a lot with trying to figure out just what it is that makes Tony Stark Iron Man... and what makes us believe that a suit of armor represents heroism.
Where does Tony Stark end and Iron Man begin? Stark went out of his way in the first film to continually point out that he was not a superhero, but this time he's living with genuine insecurities — and admitting to them — that younger Tony would have taken great pains to hide. He's all PTSD nightmares and panic attacks since the events of The Avengers. "Nothing's been the same since New York": it's such a simple line, but it's startling coming unironically from the reflexively snarky Stark. And also coming from director Black, who dresses it in the same unexpected combination of sweetness and verve and vulnerability that he got out of Downey Jr. in his last film, the sublime Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.
So Iron Man 3 has already nudged Tony out of his comfort zone — which is always where the interesting things start to happen — before it really goes to work on him. He publicly challenges a terrorist known only as the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley), which ends in the destruction of his home and tinkerer's garage HQ, and he's now lying low trying to figure out his next move, which would appear to require solving a series of mysterious suicide bombings attributed to the Mandarin.
Always, though, Tony's biggest obstacle is himself. There's never a moment where you're tempted to wonder why the rest of the Avengers don't come to Tony's aid, not only because of the clever structuring of the plot — Tony is believed dead after his house is blown up, and later, events simply move too quickly for anyone to have had time to scramble — but simply because of how intimate the electromagnetically powered heart of this story is.
And yet... Black and Pearce leave us with lots to ponder in a grand scale, too. Empty suits, broken-down suits, suits with someone else inside 'em: how do they change how we see Tony? How much of "Iron Man" is image... and how much is propaganda we willingly buy into? Stark's military buddy Rhodey (Don Cheadle) is now officially dubbed — in his own suit of stars-and-striped armor — Iron Patriot, which they both snicker over. Yet this is a world, both onscreen and off, in which such nonsense is effective. How much of the power of the Mandarin to terrorize comes from his pirate broadcasts, in which he appears as an outlandish caricature of an "Eastern" boogeyman? Hell, we're even left to reconsider how our notion of the traditional damsel in distress can be upended so easily thanks to our own preconceptions about the genre. Thankfully, Black and Pearce have chosen to let Tony's life and business partner Pepper (Gwyneth Paltrow) continue to be one of the most intriguing lady sidekicks the genre has seen — she's never less a damsel in distress than when you think she is.
There isn't a single thing wrong with this flick. Okay, the 3D is even more pointless and superfluous than in most 3D movies. But the cloud of air I was walking on afterward meant I was hardly bothered by that. It's rare that the threequel is the best of the bunch: savor it.

Hi there…
If you enjoy love-making as a celebration of life and desire, then come and see a beautiful, confident, fun-loving mature bbw who is well-schooled in the art of passion.
I only have one speciality… pleasing men!
I love what I do and during our time that together, I regard you as my lover, so you will have my complete attention from the time I meet you at the door till the time we part.
No Phones, No alarms, Just you and I, together…
I'm a curvy, naturally busty (E-cup), voluptuous, charming and educated Kenyan lady with long sandy blonde hair, seductive dark brown eyes with the body confidence and sexual skills of a mature and experienced courtesan.
I can be sensuous, playful, naughty, loving, dominant or submissive, depending on how we interact and where our encounter takes us.
Combining sexy sheer lingerie, stockings, high heels, perfume, perfectly groomed hair, long red nails with full red lips to match, you will be more than happy that you arranged a liaison with me, especially when I open my door and you see my cheeky welcoming smile.
I have been told that my photos don't do me justice, but I love seeing that smile grow (amongst over things) when you see me.
I love making you feel fantastic and even though my main focus is you, I do enjoy being kissed, touched and caressed.
I look forward to spending time using our bodies for what they were meant for……. passion and pleasure!
I am available most days by appointment but do have the occasional cancellation, so give me a call and check if I am available. I would like at least a half hours notice so that I can dress for you. Weekend appoinments are available at times. For longer or overnight bookings, I require at least 24 hours notice. Please check my website for current details.
So what are you waiting for??? Now is the time… Call me on +254796180678 and make a booking.
I do not respond to private numbers (as partners tend to use them to check up on you!!!!), and normal phone manners are expected when you call me. Feel free to send me an sms as well…
If I miss your call I will endeavour to respond within an hour or two (unless I am busy) with the discreet message: "You called?" I do not have voicemail so you cant leave a message.
I am located in Westlands which is only 5 minutes away from the Nairobi CBD, my premises are up market, modern and discreet, and off-street parking is available.
What my time and our enjoyment will add up to…
Have you ever fantasised about having a courtesan who takes pleasure in dressing seductively just for you, a lover who's waiting for your call and will re-schedule her diary just for you?
Contact me to work out a cost effective package…
Kisses Karen
Tours – If you cant wait that long feel free to fly me to you.

Guided By Voices: English Little League
English Little League just misses greatness, but if it's not the best album they've put out since early 2012, it's certainly the most interesting, the most willing to take risks.
Guided By Voices
English Little LeagueUS Release: 2013-04-30
Label: Guided By Voices, Inc., Fire
UK Release: 2013-04-29
Artist Website
Label Website
What was most exciting about the reformed Guided By Voices, before there was the inevitable new recorded output, was that the band would drag Pollard out of the studio and onto the road for long stretches of time. Now that the live leg of the reunion is over -- for now, anyway -- Guided By Voices has become another offshoot of the scattershot powerhouse that is Robert Pollard's recording life. However, this shift has made for its own little surprises. Sure, Pollard does what Pollard does, but with a band in the studio he sounds more relaxed, more inclined to experiment in ways that don't just sound like versions of Circus Devils tracks.
Pollard and the gang have proven themselves capable of both recapturing the magic and twisting it into something fresh. It took a little doing -- you could feel the cobwebs lingering over parts of Let's Go Eat the Factory. But that followed with the shadowy but solid Class Clown Spots a UFO and the excellent, organically fragmented The Bears for Lunch. The January 2013 EP, Down By the Racetrack, was a classic non-album curio, a strange collection of experiments, sort of. It announced its eccentricities openly like older EPs, but it never bails us out with a perfect pop song. It let us sit in the murk and work it out.
It's the first thing that didn't seem of a piece with the reunion, that didn't feel like it was tied to the "classic" years of the "classic" line-up. English Little League, the latest record, convinces us that we must accept this line-up on its own time and terms. It may be the same group that made a bunch of records we love, but they're (modestly) moving on. Of the now four records we've gotten post-reunion, this one sounds the least self-consciously lo-fi. Instead, these songs are built up and thorny, never stylishly undercooked or slyly tossed off. There's a real focus on a song by song basis, and if there aren't the same kind of earworm hooks we got to highlight, say, Class Clown Spots a UFO, then there's a consistency that helps supplant that lack of clear peaks.
More importantly, that precision on individual songs allows the band to stretch out into its most fruitful experiments. We start with big power-poppers like opener "Xeno Pariah", the crunchier "Trashcan Full of Nails" or the bellowing rock balladry of "Send to Celeste (and the Cosmic Athletes)". These are the moves we expect, but then the band twists them ever so slightly with the faux-jock-jam "Crybaby 4-Star Hotel" or the moody rumbling of "Taciturn Caves", which plays like the dark shadow lurking under much of Pollard's seemingly carefree wordplay. If Pollard stretches some underused songwriting muscles in these moments -- indulging his goofball- and art-rock tendencies with the same sense of purpose -- then Tobin Sprout responds in kind. The two have always been excellent counterpoints, Sprout the bittersweet wallflower to Pollard's towering bluster, but here they find common ground in great ways. "Islands (She Talks in Rainbows)" continues Sprout's impeccable run of songs in the past two years, but also ramps up the muscle a bit. If the choruses still cascade sweetly, the verses have a bit of jangly edge. But Sprout saves his big crunching rock moment for "Quiet Game", where distorted and treble-bleached guitars grind behind his still restrained voice.
That's not to say that there aren't moments where the band falls into some of their typical pitfalls. These experiments above work because they subtle stretch the parameters of our expectations -- see also Sprout's excellently hushed "The Sudden Death of Epstein's Ways" -- while other moments seem to force the issue. "Sir Garlic Breath" and "Reflections in a Metal Whistle" revert back to cavernous lo-fi sound that tends to make otherwise quiet tunes sound too strident, too shoved into an otherwise brilliantly balanced mix. These plodding experiments used to be a virtue, but often in the past two years the songwriting has fallen off in step with the fidelity, and these songs are no exception.
Those moments are few, but they slow down the record just enough to be a hindrance, which is too bad since closer "W/ Glass in Foot" is a propulsive rock gem, ending the record on the thorny but focused note it began on. English Little League just misses greatness, but if it's not the best album they've put out since early 2012, it's certainly the most interesting, the most willing to take risks. This is the first of these albums where it feels like there might be something at risk, something to lose, something to break down or build upon.

Firetask uniquely combines the advantages of classical priority-and-due-date-based task management with GTD.
- Stay focused and on top of your commitments – Firetask's "Today" view shows all relevant due and next tasks in a single, clear overview. Due tasks only appear when becoming due within the next days, next tasks only if they are the first next task of a project or if marked as flagged. This helps you to focus on your most urgent and important tasks.
- Manage your tasks in a project-oriented way – Firetask is project-oriented. Every task is part of a project and the order of next tasks is defined within each project. This helps you to break down your unnumbered tasks into manageable units and it helps us to provide you with a more focused view across all your commitments.
- Efficiently enter and delegate your tasks -Entering a number of tasks in Firetask is as simple and fast as writing a view lines of text. There is no need to take your hands from the keyboard. Assign projects, categories, priorities, due dates and even delegate tasks via "tagging" using the # and @ characters.

New York Times Sells 100,000+ Digital Subscriptions in First 3 Weeks
The New York Times has sold more than 100,000 digital subscriptions in the three weeks since its launch, the publication revealed in its first-quarter earnings statement Thursday morning.
Given the relatively modest expectations the Times set for the paywall, the number isn't bad.
At launch, the Times offered readers a four-week trial for 99 cents — a substantial discount from the $15 to $35 subscribers will have to fork over in subsequent four-week periods. If the Times can manage to keep all 100,000 subscribers for a full year, it stands to pocket an extra $20 million in revenue for 2011.
It's still not clear what kind of long-term effect the paywall will have on traffic and how advertising revenues will be affected, however.
Operating profit was down 41% to $31.1 million year-over-year. Total revenues decreased 3.6% to $566.5 million from $587.9 million. Digital advertising grew 4.5%, compensating somewhat for the 3.7% decline in circulation and 7.5% decline in print advertising revenue. Digital products now make up 28% of the Times's total advertising revenues, the company said.

Book three of the Rose series
By Holly Webb
Available now from Sourcebooks Jabberwocky
Review copy
Read my reviews of Rose and Rose and the Lost Princess
ROSE AND THE MAGICIAN'S MASK can be read alone, although it is best if you have read the first two books about maid and nascent magician Rose. This book reveals more of her personal history, and delivers a thrilling plot.
Fans of the series know what to expect. For those who are new, expect a practical heroine, friendship, and magicians versus magicians. Gus, the talking cat, will be funny. The adult-in-charge will be useless, leaving saving the day to Rose and her friends. In this story, Venetian thieves who have stolen a mask of great power that must be retrieved.
This series reaches the point that so many series featuring magical kids (such as Harry Potter and Avatar: The Last Airbender) must reach. As Rose becomes more powerful, and faces more dangerous enemies, she can potentially use lethal force. This lends a bit more darkness to the final confrontation.
It's hard to say something new about the third book in a series. But it is easy to repeat something old. If you have a young reader in your life who enjoys fantastical adventures, I highly recommend this series. Yes, even to the boys.

This whole look gotta be my bestest buy ever! Necklace and pants were both on sale! If I remember correctly, necklace was sold at $9 whereas the pants was sold at $9.90. Immediately told myself that "I. So. Need. To. Get. This!"
A pants which costs you less than $10 from Uniqlo is really rare okay! Of course you need to grab it especially when the quality is super good and fits you perfectly. Never been disappointed by Uniqlo's quality... So far.
The rose gold bag you see there received a lot of compliments! It was purchased in bangkok. Think it's about 300 baht.

It's official. We just got word from Anne Radford at the Washington State Liquor Control Board that they'll be re-opening a liquor store in Wallingford at…118 N.E. 45th St! That's where the Hollywood Video used to be, right across from Dick's.
On the grim side, this means that there will be a full service liquor store just blocks from the I-5 entrance ramps, where homeless alcoholics have established permanent residence. On the bright side, Dick's milkshakes + Cointreau = Crazy Delicious.
Anne says they anticipate opening on May 28th.

I was inconsolable in 2010 when I discovered that Takashimaya had closed its Fifth Avenue store in Manhattan. I must have stood for a good 10 minutes checking that I was at the correct spot – 693 Fifth Avenue. This had been a beautifully curated collection of men's, children's and women's fashions, and homewares spread over a number of floors with a great restaurant in its basement. I had spent untold hours (and dollars) here and it was always my first stop on any trip to New York. I immediately contacted my American friend who had introduced me to this wondrous emporium. She too was shocked and saddened. Trips to New York haven't been the same since and I always go back to the shop's location in the hope that it will have miraculously re-opened.
I was similarly distressed on my first visit to Japan in 2007 when I visited Takashimaya's main store in Tokyo. It was nothing like its Manhattan outpost. Stuffed full of European designer goods, redeemed only by its wondrous displays and fascinating basement food hall. I was shocked to find departments with clothes for cleaning the house, particularly as the Japanese live in small houses, and don't get me started on the nightwear department. There in a nutshell was the reason for Japan's low birthrate. Forget about importing French patisseries, import French underwear!
News reached me this week, that another concept store I hold dear, Colette's in Paris, is to close in December. This is another store I've enjoyed browsing around and it was often the high point of any window-shopping stroll along the pricey rue Saint-Honore. The owner Colette has decided to retire although her daughter will continue to run the company's webshop. The place is a mecca for all things fashionable and on trend. The three-storey emporium always has an eclectic collection of goodies, the latest designer clothing and a brilliant bookshop which carries all the major fashion and design magazines, and let's not forget the basement water bar with over 100 brands of bottled water. Now, I'm a big fan of internet shopping but sometimes you just need to see and feel the goods.
It's not just major shops in meccas such as New York and Paris that are closing, one of my favourite bread shops has closed. The shop had opened in the mid-forties and black and white pictures of the current owner's grand-parents decorated the walls. I assume the owner wanted to retire and her kids no longer wish to pursue the family tradition. So the supplier of some of the best croissants and brioches in the area has closed. Unlike many bread shops, it also sold coffee and cakes and, aside from being a breakfast favourite, we also liked to pop in for afternoon coffee and cakes. It's always sad when shops such as these close. No one has yet taken over the shop which occupies a large corner plot on a major shopping street.
Of course, since we've been living here, any number of shops have closed though many more have changed hands, often for the better. A rather run-of-the-mill bread shop in the centre of town, after three changes of ownership, now sells the most fabulous cakes, pastries and bread. My beloved needs no excuse to visit. Meanwhile, over the road the purveyor of the very best donuts we'd ever eaten, full of crème patissiere, changed hands and stopped selling donuts. It was probably a blessing for my waistline and now such wonders fall under the category of strictly forbidden. Luckily, in the same period, the shops closest to us have all prospered and expanded their range of produce. The only disappointment was the fish shop which opened and closed within a month. It had a brilliant selection of fresh fish but we're already well-served by other fish shops (and the port) and clearly demand was insufficient. It's hard to argue against market forces though I shall continue to support my local shops.

Okay, I need some help with a couple of things:
First of all, it's Lucent Winmodems. The next people on my upgrade list are on dial up still, and they have a Lucent modem in their system. Of course, I don't understand why to use a Ferrari to drive to church (they have a fairly quick, I think 64-bit system), but I have to do what I have to do.
I hear Lucents are relatively well supported under Linux, but I've never gotten one working. I have a Debian rig right now, I'm going to use it to test the Lucent modem I have, anyone know how to get it working?
Next, has anyone ever heard of a program called Powerchurch? It's a program for money management of churches and non-profit organizations. It's Windows only, so I'm looking for an alternative. Does anyone know of one?
I can always run it with Wine, I mean, it works on freaking Windows 95, it should work with Wine. I'm pretty sure Wine has implemented that much of a Windows API, haha.
One more thing:
is there a way I can make a disc that contains packages that APT can use like a repository? I have to work on one system where the owners still have dial up- I'd like to be able to download their updates and apps I want to install on their system. How can I do this?
Thanks guys, the power of the people can defeat any enemy.

Intergenerational Connections
In June 2003, the Florida Legislature designated the first week of December as Intergenerational week in Florida. Intergenerational programs and activities allow us the opportunity to bridge the experience and wisdom of elders with the unbridled curiosity and energy of our youth. The first full week of December has been set aside to promote Florida's Intergenerational Week.
The Department of Elder Affairs' Office of Volunteer and Community Services works with other state agencies to highlight the importance of intergenerational activities and programs in the development of children and the quality of life of elders. Additionally, it is a time to acknowledge programs and services throughout our state that offer volunteer opportunities for interaction and exchange between people of different generations. Florida's 60-plus population of more than 4.7 million represents approximately one quarter of the state's population.
There exists a natural gap in understanding between generations, which is why it is important to find connections between younger and older generations. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, intergenerational activities and programs can prevent unnatural age segregation and can apply the strengths of one generation to meet the needs of another. This can be accomplished by simple activities that teach youth and elders how to relate to each other. It can be as simple as reading to one another, baking together, going fishing, playing card games or sharing music. This is why communities must make a conscience effort to create opportunities for elders, mature adults, young adults, teenagers and children to spend time together in order to build and strengthen relationships. Research shows that what matters most is the quality of the interaction between generations.
For more information about activities, as well as programs celebrating Intergenerational relationships please contact ZsaZsa Ingram-Fitzpatrick at email@example.com or (850) 414-2086.

Our values are the things that we believe in deeply, that shape our attitude to life, the world around us and other people. Within a Church of England school, the values that we instil in children are based in the Christian tradition and are illustrated through Christian stories. At Alverstoke C of E Junior school, we have chosen to base our ethos around the three core values of Love, Grace and Hope as these are the things that we would want our children to display in life and fall back on when times are difficult or there are tricky choices to be made.
Through our core value of Love, we recognise that God the Father is Love. When we show His love to others, God lives in us.
Through our core value of Grace, we recognise the kindness and generosity of Jesus in giving his live so that we can try to be like him.
Through our core value of Hope, we recognise that the Holy Spirit fills our hearts with hope when we live through faith in God and in each other

Marking quality
An assessment is only as good as its component parts. Among other features, the underlying curriculum, teaching, test design and marking can all contribute to reliability and validity in the measurement of candidate ability. Each of these components is critical. At the Centre for Education Research and Practice, we are constantly adding research evidence as we strive to improve AQA's processes of assessment design, of marker recruitment and training, and of quality assurance.
Quality of measurement starts with good assessment design. The high stakes examinations offered by AQA include questions in a variety of formats, from multiple choice through to extended response essays. This ensures validity of measurement, by testing a variety of skills, but means that marking is more complex.
Using our own data, we have shown that the design of mark schemes can impact on how effectively we can distinguish between a good response and a poorer response (1). We have investigated the features of mark schemes which are more likely to lead to reliable marking (2, 3, 4). We have also identified the sorts of questions that are difficult to mark, with a view to improving question structure and mark schemes (5).
All of our research findings have been included in AQA's design principles which are used as a benchmark when creating question papers and mark schemes. But while the assessment must be effective, so too must the marking. We therefore need to consider those that carry out the marking.
Characteristics of a good marker cannot be distilled into a simple wish list and much of the research confirms that marking accuracy is not dependent upon easily measureable features of a marker's background (6, 7). Some of our studies have shown that markers with experience mark more reliably but, for some types of marking, specific subject expertise is not always a necessary requirement (6, 4, 8). On the other hand, our research has shown that training and standardisation play a key role in improving marking reliability (9, 6). In practice, these findings have been used to introduce new technology and to allocate questions to markers more intelligently.
In addition to good assessments and effective markers, a thorough quality assurance system must underpin all efforts to improve the quality of marking. AQA has embraced recent advances in technology and changes have, once more, been supported by research evidence (10). For example, distributing candidate responses for different questions among different markers has been shown to increase reliability of the mark awarded to a candidate (11, 12).
Recently, we have been involved in piloting new and innovative ways of assessing the quality of candidates' work using comparative judgements (13, 14). We have collected views on assessment reliability from key stakeholders and on marking experience from our markers (15, 16, 17). We have also considered marking reliability alongside the accuracy with which we classify candidates in terms of grades. This knowledge has been used to help inform the design of new national grading structures (18, 19, 20).
Our research has been instrumental in providing sound evidence to help AQA introduce improvements in its processes of assessment design, of marker recruitment and training, and of quality assurance. We aim to explore how best to ensure marking is as reliable as it can be, without losing the focus on validity that is at the heart of the English examination system (21, 22, 23).

Stay up to date with all of ADTRAN's news, products and services with posts from the leaders in our industry.
This is not about creating data centers and putting them into telecom central offices and exchanges or broadband vendors building data centers solutions. It's about applying the principles that data center networks have employed to create a better broadband network connecting the cloud/data center edge to the subscriber edge. It is about applying the lessons learned – after all, SDN and NFV principles have been leveraged for years within the data center industry.
When I refer to broadband networks, I am talking about advanced fixed network technologies like 10Gps Passive Optical Networks (10G PON), e.g. ITU-T G.989 (NG-PON2). Broadband in this context means supporting both Gigabit residential and premium business services delivery as well as mobile backhaul, fronthaul and C-RAN network support.
The fundamental data center principles which are being leveraged to advance these next-generation broadband networks include:
Applying data center principles to network means promoting the economic advantages of data center architecture, which include:
It is paramount, especially for larger, multi-domain, multi-vendor network operators to balance service velocity with the network traffic growth driven by consumer demand and OTT service models. In acknowledgement of this, open, programmable and scalable ITU-T NG-PON2 solutions are being developed to support the desired rapid creation of new user-enabled services while also drastically lowering the total cost per bit delivered. This will go a long way to restoring economic balance.
To learn more about this topic, check out the archived webinar with ADTRAN and US Telecom, "Data Center Architectures for Next-Gen Broadband and Business Networks."

At Thunderclap, we realize just how important it is for our clients to find and hire only the very best candidates. To do this, we use industry best practices for recruiting and executive search, while adding a number of our own unique methods to give our clients an advantage.
When seeking out top talent, we put our "executive search" hats on to make sure we are aware of all the passive candidates out there (i.e., those who aren't actively looking for a job now but may be interested in working at your agency now or in the future).
So let us help build your tribe. We can find the person that looks good on paper, on a team, in front of a client and in front of your agency. Here are three beyond-the-ordinary metrics that help suggest why you can be confident our partnership will yield results:
- To date, 84% of the candidates we've placed are still with their respective agencies
- Over 70% of our business comes from repeat and referral business
- And more than 48% of our searches have been retainer-based
Thunderclap offers the following agency/recruiter working relationships, based on your needs:
Many of our clients prefer working this way, because we take a partnership approach through the entire process, sharing information and ideas each step of the way. It helps ensure we're finding and signing the best fitting candidate.
When we work together this way, you can expect thinking, leadership and help around questions that come up BEFORE the search is put into the market: the who, what, where, why and how of a given search. You'll also get our professional and objective opinion on any and all candidates for the job, regardless of who sourced them. Request more information on the benefits of our retained searches.
This is the go-to relationship for many of our clients, and our compensation and guarantee terms are easily within industry standards. The level of consulting and collaboration isn't nearly as high as our retainer searches, but for many agencies, it makes the most sense. Like all of Thunderclap's searches, we'll pull together a presentation on the unique opportunity, and find candidates who are a natural fit (in terms of experience, personality, etc.). You'll receive the professional and friendly service for which Thunderclap is known, from kick-off meeting through final placement. Request more information on the benefits of our contingency searches.
Less expensive than a traditional contingency or retainer relationship, we act as a contracted member of your team with a contrainer relationship, helping you fill a variety of positions. Unlike contingency searches, where you may feel that you're being "sold" a candidate, this doesn't happen with a contrainer, as we're literally one of your team members, often sitting down the hall from you. So you get all the thinking and help seen in a retained search. In addition to working our own database and network, we fine-tune existing application channels and referral sources for an optimized talent pipeline. Ask us about how this might work for your recruiting challenges.

A Coding Bootcamp is a short, intensive training course for programming to help you to focus on the important aspects and practices of coding. The goal of a coding bootcamp is to make you a confident and self-sufficient developer regardless of your educational background. This is what makes a bootcamp a great tool for those looking to make a career change into tech or for new and aspiring developers...Learn More
Coding bootcamp vs a Computer Science degree, which is better path for you? Is it better to go through an accelerated coding bootcamp or to complete a four year computer science degree? This question is becoming more and more relevant as coding and software engineering jobs continue to be in growing demand.
And Coding is a skill that is indeed in demand. Over the past few years, Programming and coding jobs have exploded. A 2016 report from Burning Glass found that there were over 7 million job opening in 2015 which required coding skill, and an average job growth rate for programming jobs that was 12% higher than the average job market.Learn More
With the passion for learning as your main driving force, Coding Temple has created the roadmap to make you a programmer in a matter of weeks. The curriculum is focused on the important aspects of programming and on how to adjust with the curves of learning multiple technologies in a short time frame.
We take great pride in the curriculums we have built and the culture we have created, our alumni reviews reflect that. We have the highest star rating on both Course Report and SwitchUp of any comparable coding bootcamp.
Our confidence in the material we cover, the projects completed and the world class partners we have teamed up with gives us the ability to offer a full money back guarantee for students who do not get employment within 6 months after graduation.
Let our results speak for us where we cannot toot our own horn. Coding Temple is honored to be named one of the best bootcamps in the world in 2019 by both Course Report and SwitchUp. An honor shared by less than 5% of all active worldwide bootcamps.
Upon graduation at Coding Temple, students are receiving offers in excess of six figures. With an average of $68,000 starting salary. The ROE (Return on Education) is a no brainer.

Our student relations managers have weekly meetings and interviews with each student to make sure nobody falls behind. If there is an area of struggle, we are quick to alleviate and help build the student's success.
We keep our classroom sizes small for a reason. The individualized attention. Coding bootcamps aren't meant to be an extension of a college lecture hall. We are not a farm trying to herd in as many students in and out of our doors. We care about all of our students individual needs and a small classroom setting is the only way to do this.
We have been around for four years, which is ancient in terms of Coding Bootcamps. We have a proven track record of success and and ever changing curriculum that evolves with the industry and job market demand.

Tonight the ITV Soap Coronation Street will see Hayley Cropper, a character who has pancreatic cancer, end her life.
As the Metro says "stand by your tissues". If the build-up is anything to go by there is sure to be a strong reaction. Here is a bit of a spoiler on Digital Spy.
Over the weekend the debate continued.
Former Paralympian Baroness Grey-Thompson says this storyline may encourage disabled or ill people to take their own lives. While Daily Mail commentator Peter Hitchens' take on the Corrie's storyline and the ensuing debate is "the worst thing is that this sort of propaganda by melodrama bypasses wisdom and reason".
We asked people on Facebook and Twitter what they thought
Kevin said:
"The storyline is about suicide, not assisted suicide. Everyone already has the 'right' to kill themselves like Hayley. I agree with Ian Penfold – let's help the living to live, not the dying to die. 2. It is at least a strange coincidence that the story appears just as Lord Falconer's Assisted Dying Bill is being launched. 3. Telling some people that suicide is fine as their lives are valueless because they fulfill certain physical criteria WILL impact upon disabled people…."
But those views aren't shared by Donna who said:
"As a severely disabled person, since birth I think it should be an individual's choice whether to end their life with dignity. As long as that person is of sound mind. I live with constant pain as my body won't tolerate painkillers. It is hard to explain to someone how bad the pain is. Most people think they understand pain, but take my word for it, there are many different types of severe pain, and unless you have experienced bone pain for example you can't possibly know how demoralising it is to live with day in and day out."
Alison's post was particularly poignant:
"I am in the last few weeks/months of my life according to the consultants, I am only 47, I will not allow myself to become a shell of the person I am, I will not and do not want to let my children watch me struggle much more with the pain I am living with. I want the right to a dignified end, an end where my mind is sound and I have been able to have conversations with the people I love."
Christine thinks the storyline has been "very well done" and:
"This is a case of a women who is aware of her choices and made them after careful thought. She knows why she wants to do it. It's not like she had a bad day and then decided to end it on a 5 minute decision. This argument has been around far longer than the coronation street storyline and soaps tend to mirror real life issues. The fact is the character is going to die at some point. People with disabilities may live a long life, but with excruciating pain and loss of quality of life."
Susan added:
"Assisted suicide was covered in Emmerdale, in a tragic storyline and the legal ramifications that followed. I can't recollect any call for a change in the law with that storyline.
Corrie's storyline is the suicide of a person with terminal cancer. I don't see how the leap can be made. I'm very unsure about assisted suicide. I understand the point of view of helping somebody who wants to die but can't do it for themselves but I can also see how it can be abused not just by relatives but by officials etc. And the way this country is at the moment I can see such a law I can see disabled people being persuaded to die when they don't want to."
Michelle said on the Scope blog:
"As the mother of three disabled children, two of whom are severe learning disabled this frightens me! I can see some state doctor making the decision to euthanize my children when they are adults as the most economical option, rather than pay the high expense to care for them properly. It'll be a sad day for society when that happens!"
Tonight, the proof of the pudding will be in the watching. We have to wait and see what happens, but the debate will continue, and as this headline in the Western Daily Press says: "From Tony Nicklinson to Hayley Cropper, the right to die debate is not going away".

When looking for discounted cremation urns, be careful and thorough in your search. Some of the urns that are available at discount prices may just be discontinued designs, but others are imported low quality urns. We will run specials on certain urns and have a few discontinued models that we decided not to produce anymore and I know some of the other companies will do the same.
My suggestion is to call or write the company and ask why the urn is being discounted. If it is much cheaper than what you can find at other urn sales sites, I would be very cautious. There are companies who will copy a product, but made with much lower quality materials and workmanship, but will steal the image from us and sell their item as if it is the same.
We know that time is not usually available when buying an urn, but if you don't take a little time in asking questions you may find yourself repeating the process or being stuck and disappointed with an inferior product.
Some things to look at when ordering anything online:
1. Can you easily find the contact information for the company such as physical address and phone number. Never order if you only get an online contact form!
2. How long has the company been in business: this won't guarantee anything, but if you are ordering an item such as an urn you don't want to order from a fake company to find out nothing ever will ship.
3. I recommend calling the company before ordering – even if you just ask a couple of generic questions. If all you get is an answering machine and someone calls you at odd hours on a cell phone, you can probably bet that customer service will be lacking.
4. Do a search for the company name and words like problems, scam, issues, etc… Every company who has done business for some time may have a couple of customers they couldn't satisfy, look at how people were treated overall.
When ordering a cremation urn, chances are you are on a timeline. Make sure that you let the company know the date you need the urn in hands by. If no note field is available when ordering be sure to call them. This will make sure they are able to handle your order in a timely fashion and you won't be at a funeral without the urn. Over the last 9 years we have had maybe 2 instances where the shipping company failed to deliver within their guarantee. (example: overnight taking two days) but it can happen. Ordering with a faster service than you think you need may save you the headache.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Please leave a comment or any questions below, we would love to answer your questions.

Greetings hikers,
I have been waiting a while to write up this review, and over this past weekend I passed the 250-nights of use with a MontBell U.L. Super Spiral Down Hugger sleeping bag, and I told myself I would write up a review of this bag when I hit the 250-night mark.
The MontBell U.L. Super Spiral Down Hugger (herein I will simply annotate it as the 'MBULSS') is not exactly a sleeping bag that falls into the model of a SUL or XUL hiking setup. It is very much possible to carry this sleeping bag as a SUL hiker and it could be possible to do a XUL hike with the MBULSS #5 and maybe the #3 (but that would be really hard). So I realize that this sleeping bag might seem to be one of those sleeping bags that does not typically get reviewed by a SUL/XUL hiker, but if you are a SUL/XUL hiker you have probably come to learn the very valuable lesson that sleep comfort is almost as important as knowing your route and knowing how to maintain your core body temperature. So for me, having a sleeping setup that is above-par is a near-must. A little over 1000 grams of my 1800 gram BPW setup is devoted to my sleeping system (shelter & bag). Yes I could save 115 grams or so of weight (around 4 ounces) if I switched over to a ZPacks sleeping bag or an Enlightened Equipment Epiphany, but the simple fact is (for me) the comfort of the MBULSS is worth those three or four ounces. Hiking Lighter does not always mean hiking with the lightest possible gear in the world.
I have owned both the MBULSS #3 and a MBULSS #1 and have loved them both.
The #3 has an EN Rating of "40 comfort" and a "30(f) Lower Limit" and a "3(f) Extreme" rating. My thoughts on these ratings, as a cold sleeping, is that they are way off. I own the previous version when they were rated at 30(f) rather than 40(f) and I often found myself rather cold at anything under around 46. I made the mistake once of taking it out when it was going to be 30 and I pretty much froze all night, even with all of my clothing on. Whoever these "extreme" hikers are that can take this bag down to 3(f)… well, huge props to you guys!!
The #1 has an EN Rating of "26(f) comfort" and a "15(f) Lower Limit" and a "-19(f) Extreme" rating. I would say that these are a bit more accurate – again, I am a cold sleeper. The problem with the #1 is the bulk size of this bag. If you really stuff it, it can get down to around 7″ by 14″. As I almost never compress my sleeping bag, it can take up a rather large percentage of my ~1000 cubic inch backpack. The #1 also breaks the 2-pound limit, at 2.5 pounds, of which 1.5 pounds is 800 down fill and the other 1 pound is material. Compare this to the 17 ounces (482 grams) for the ZPacks 30(f) bag (remembering it is hoodless bag.)
I typically consider the 30(f) range the sweet spot in which sleeping bag to choose. Realistically anything under around 42(f) and I am cold. So a bag that can get me down to the 30(f) mark is a sleeping bag that I am going to shoot for, knowing that it should get me down to the freezing range, which is not all that common here in the Redwood Forest of Northern California, but it is very much possible to reach sub-freezing only an hour away from the Redwoods.
Perhaps the three biggest competitors to the MBULSS #1 is the Western Mountaineering AlpinLite, which is a 15(f) bag and is 31 ounces (1 lb 15 oz) (of which 19 ounces is down fill) and the Marmot Helium which is a 15(f) bag and is 38 ounces (2 lbs 6 oz) (of which 21.5 ounces is down fill) and the Nunatak Alpinist which is a 20(f) bag and is 22 ounces (1 lbs 3 oz) (of which 12 ounces is down fill). [all bags based on 6′ length sizes]
The Nunatak is the only one of those three that I have not had the chance to try. Based on its specs I am not sure I would like using one – for the same reason that I do not like using the other two: they are not wide enough. I, like the vast majority of the people in the world, am a side sleeper. I am not only a side sleeper but when I get cold I very quickly go from being a side sleeper to being a fetal sleeper, and that requires a sleeping bug with a lot of width to accommodate the bent knees. And that is where the MontBell U.L. Super Spiral Down Hugger shines at.
It is no secrete that the problem with wide bags is that you end up sleeping colder, because of the larger amount of mass air inside the sleeping bag. The MBULSS solves this by being, well, a super spiral bag. When I am in a fetal position, it hugs my knees and bag. When I am in a standard side sleeping position, the bag hugs my knees and bag. If I happen to be sleeping on my back, the sleeping bag still hugs my sides. That is the awesomeness of the super spiral technology. There is very little dead-air space inside one of them. Perhaps the largest pocket of dead-air space of the entire sleeping bag is in the foot area, as it is not aggressively narrow in the foot region, which can be both good and bad. It is great when you want a bit of foot room, but I have also had my feet freezing a bit when I was pushing the limitations of the bag.
With over 250 nights of use on my #3 (and around 45 nights of use with the #1) I can definitively say that the sleeping bag has lost a fair amount of loft and thus warmth. I have washed it, treated it, and everything else I know of to try to bring back some warmth to the bag. If it falls below 50(f) I have found that the #3 is just not warm enough unless I put on a base layer of clothing or use a silk insert. It is rated at 40(f) so I would guess that it has lost around 8-10 degrees of warmth over the last 250 nights. I have never owned any other sleeping bag with this many nights of use so I am unaware of whether this is on-par with other bags or if this is rather poor performance. At this point the #3 is very little more than a summer time sleeping bag, or if I feel like carrying an additional 20-odd ounces of clothing to compensate for it. However as I previously mentioned the bulk of the #1 is significantly more than the #3 and in my backpack I have a hard time getting everything stuffed into it when I have to use the MBULSS#1. So I am more and more finding myself looking at one of the ZPacks sleeping bag and than a Nunatak Balaclava to compensate for the bag being hoodless. But, each time I do the numbers on the weight and the price, I just continue to think to myself that the pleasure of the pure comfort of the MBULSS sleeping bags are worth the bulk and the few extra ounces.
