How to Turn Your Job Searching Into a Stratospheric Success!
Your talent, your knowledge, and your time are very valuable assets, but they were probably vastly undervalued at your last job. When you are looking for new employment, it is worth taking some time to really appreciate your skills and what value you can offer to your next employer.
Before you begin, make yourself a 'personal asset list' and pin it up somewhere prominent so you can see it every day and draw some inspiration from it. Your list should highlight at least your top ten skills, talents and strengths. Of course you could make your list much longer than this, and you should treat it as an ever-expanding list of achievements that you can add to as you go along.
Your personal asset list is always there to remind you just how great you are! You can also use this as a list of your key skills that you will want to make your next employer aware of. The value you can provide to your next employer will make it much easier for them to hire you. But be clear on your own worth before you can expect anyone else to value you.
To make your job-seeking efforts really stand out and to get your efforts into the stratosphere, you should think of yourself first and foremost as an entrepreneur. By altering your mindset from an 'I am prepared to work for money' approach to a 'look at how you can benefit from my knowledge and skills' approach will make you a far more attractive prospect for your next employer. The most valuable gift you have to offer an employer is yourself. Remember what is written on your personal asset list. Make it clear with your job searching just how amazing you are!
Now that you are fully prepared with your motivational list of personal assets, let's take an in-depth look at how to positively apply your skills to your job-searching efforts.
While advances in technology changes the world around us so fast, the most basic elements of your resume format still remain the same. It is how you present your resume that is the key to getting yourself noticed by the hiring manager. If your resume looks identical to the next, you have already reduced your chances of landing an interview by at least 80%.
You need to think outside of the box. Where 99% of job applicants will be using the same zombie-like terms and phrases to pad out their resume, you must think differently. Use language that will capture who you are and what you have done without resorting to standard resume language that will diminish your skills.
Take a look at our article about Key Skills That All Resumes Need for a better idea of what you should be including on your resume. These are the keys that recruiting managers will be scanning your resume for, so you need to make these skills jump off the page.
If you are serious about looking for work, then you will be able to save yourself a lot of time by formulating a good but basic cover letter that you can then tailor to suit each individual job you apply for. It saves you having to write a fresh cover letter out each time and ensures that you don't miss any of the important elements you need to include.
Find out How To Craft A Generic Cover Letter, but always remember to edit it using the same language and keywords that are found within the job description. How To Write A Killer Cover Letter will give you more information about how to tailor each individual cover letter to suit the needs of the job.
While creating your own resume may come easy to some, other people may struggle with knowing exactly how to create one, especially when writing one from scratch. So, should you pay someone to write your resume? Wouldn't doing this be seen as a form of cheating?
Struggling to know how to structure your layout? You are not sure how to best summarize and highlight your key skills and strengths? Beware, this could lead your resume to being a complete disaster.
By having an in-depth consultation with a professional resume writer, you are raising your chances of being selected for an interview by a hiring manager. A professional resume writer will know how to highlight your skills and achievements perfectly to fit a particular role. They will also understand what recruiters will be looking for when scanning your resume, so will cut out all the unnecessary waffle or padding that is irrelevant for the job in hand.
Using a professional resume writing service will give you that cutting edge during the selection process. You will work closely with your resume writer throughout so that you are completely happy with what is written, but also you will be very familiar with the structure and layout. This can be extremely helpful should your resume be used for questioning purposes during your interview.

What this means for you is uncovering many more job opportunities that you may not be aware of, and often it can result in your being invited for interview even before a vacancy has gone fully public.

Even when a position has been filled, it is quite common for hiring managers to hold on to interesting resumes for upcoming and planned future positions.
Nowadays job-hunters are not only faced with providing eye-catching and informative resumes to win a job, they also have to perform well at interview. A part of the interview process for vary many employers now also involve interview assessments.

You may be quite dismissive of these types of tests, but research has proven that adding them to the interview process can really give the employer an insight into whether you will fit the job. Tests like these can highlight key skills and abilities that are hard to demonstrate via a regular 45 minute face-to-face interview. These sort of tests have been used successfully for quite a number of year across Europe, and many US and international companies are now using them to more fairly evaluate job candidates on all levels.
So, after all your hard work and diligence in applying for jobs and submitting your resume, you have finally won yourself an interview for your dream job. You may think that the hard part is over, but the interview means that you are really only half way there.
Even if you can go into your interview all guns blazing and be prepared to dazzle them with your personality, you can never be exactly certain about the interview questions you will be asked. You may believe yourself capable of 'winging it' at interview and working off your adrenaline to answer the questions that are fired at you, but do you really want to risk blowing everything after coming so far by turning up completely unprepared?
Going into your interview with zero preparation could be dangerous. You may end up stumbling through your interview, babbling pure nonsense and practically talking yourself out of the job. Being unprepared for interview is a big weakness that your interviewer will quickly spot. You could end up being out of the running for the job within 5 seconds of your interview starting. Do you really want that?
When you have an interview looming, it is time to brush up on some Interview Tips That Will Land You a Job Offer, especially those awkward questions where you need to present your Strengths and Weaknesses in a Positive Way.
It is not just about what you say during your interview, it is also about your body language too. Non-verbal body language is a big giveaway to a recruiter. Find out more by reading our post: What Does My Body Language Tell My Interviewer?

Los Angeles Times Opinion
Op-Ed: In the UC strike, professors can't keep up with grading. Students will suffer
Lilly Irani
Academic workers picket at UCLA on Nov. 16. (Genaro Molina / Los Angeles Times)
When graduate teaching assistants strike, my work becomes impossible. I'm a professor at the University of California as we see the largest higher education strike in U.S. history. My 250 students — mostly new to UC San Diego this fall — have lost their teaching assistants to the picket line. They rely on TAs for feedback on their work, answers to their questions, and in-depth discussions of the course material in small group sections. While TAs strike, 250 students' assignments languish unassessed. Final papers will come in next week. Student grades for the term are due in two weeks.
Three weeks into the strike by 48,000 academic workers, a disaster is coming, but the University of California's labor negotiations team seems in no hurry to get our TAs back into the classroom.
I have long seen the TAs struggle to stay in stable housing in a hot housing market. I see them take on second jobs just to make ends meet, dragging out the time they must stay in school to complete their PhD research. Graduate workers facing high housing and child-care costs can end up living in their cars, moving far from work and outrunning evictions. Nine out of 10 pay more than a third of their salary to rent; 1 in 20 have experienced homelessness, according to a UC study.
UC and UAW, the union that represents graduate workers, have been negotiating wages for eight months. UAW has compromised on its demands, but UC has barely budged — agreeing to raises on Tuesday for 12,000 postdoctoral scholars and academic researchers, though they remain on strike in solidarity with the 36,000 graduate student employees. So UAW workers as a whole continue to pursue a contract that covers their costs of living as they do the essential work of the university.
In the meantime, students won't get what they came for. As a professor, I want students to grow and have strong foundations for more advanced work. I respect the sacrifices students and their families make to get to college. Students deserve feedback to help them learn, and they deserve a respectful and thoughtful appraisal of their efforts. With grades due in two weeks, and without teaching assistants, we professors simply cannot give students what they deserve.
Even if I were willing to break the picket, it is impossible for me to complete the grading myself. First, there are the assignments that students turned in just before the strike: 250 short papers at 10 minutes a paper adds up to 41 hours of full-time grading work. Their final paper covers more material; at 20 minutes a paper, that's 82 hours, or two full-time weeks of work. That's three weeks of grading work to be done in two weeks — during which I'm supposed to continue my own full-time role and its job duties.
What will happen when the grades can't go in? College bureaucracy morphs from nuisance to existential threat. Without grades to confirm their progress, students may lose their financial aid and, with it, their rent, food and tuition. Veterans can lose VA educational benefits. With incomplete transcripts, graduate school applications will get stuck. Students may find themselves unable to graduate.
The UC administration suggests a range of half measures to help professors defuse the crisis. Water down the assignments, replacing observation and analysis with multiple-choice questions. Cancel the final, robbing students a chance to bring up their grade. Unable to educate students, we're told to simply certify them and move on. These measures disrespect the work of college, asking professors to scab for TAs while devaluing high-quality teaching.
Teaching assistants are the essential workers who make coursework into an education. I teach to an audience. My TAs teach people. I basically produce television content. The teaching assistants connect the material to students' aspirations and struggles. The teaching assistants are the ones who figure out how to engage students or notice when they fall through the cracks.
We want a public university that can serve more and more of California's students, but we cannot connect with students' diverse aspirations and capacities at scale without the often invisible care and expertise of tens of thousands of teaching assistants.
It may be hard to see this invisible labor from the UC office of the president in Oakland. I invite UC President Michael Drake to come survey the site of bureaucratic and pedagogical disaster in large classrooms like mine. Students who already endured two years of pandemic school are now facing an administratively manufactured disaster.
As UC negotiators drag their feet on wages, I'm in a bind. TAs are on the picket. And California's students lose.

Ireland's Saongroup Acquires 90% Stake In ChinaHR.com; Half Staff Will Lose Jobs
Business | Internet
Ireland's Saongroup.com reached an agreement before the Chinese New Year began with America's Monster for the acquisition of its Chinese Internet recruitment subsidiary ChinaHR.com.
After the acquisition, Saongroup will have a 90% stake in ChinaHR.com, while Monster will only maintain a 10% stake. The financial details for the deal has not yet been disclosed.
In 2005, Monster invested USD50 million in the acquisition of a 40% stake in ChinaHR.com. At the beginning of 2006, Monster invested an additional USD19.9 million for a 5% stake. In October 2008, the company acquired the remaining 55% stake in the Chinese website for USD174 million, making it a fully-owned subsidiary. However, the performance of ChinaHR.com has been unsatisfactory over the past few years. Monster reportedly made net losses of USD194.2 million in the third quarter of 2012, of which USD233 million was attributed to the losses of ChinaHR.com.
With the acquisition, ChinaHR.com may be merged with Saongroup's recruitment website Myjob.com and a new company will reportedly be established.
Before the completion of the acquisition, ChinaHR.com will implement large-scale layoffs. In its Chinese headquarters and North China region, half of its over 400 employees will apparently lose their jobs.
According to public files, Ireland's Saongroup was founded in 1995 and headquartered in Dublin. Starting from 1999, the company implemented its global expansion and established branches in 27 countries and regions. Prior to this, Saongroup acquired several local recruitment websites in China to realize its distribution across this marketplace.

1 The LORD appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. 2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
There are some Bible stories we have trouble understanding because of the passage of time. Anyone who has every got bogged down in the specific details of the diet laws of the ancient Israelites in Leviticus knows what I'm talking about here. Few Christian hearts race in the year 2010 when reading which sacrifices are acceptable to God in the Sinai desert verses which are to be rejected as inappropriately dishonorable for God.
Hospitality evokes in my mind, and maybe yours, the hospitality industry. Mints on pillows, continental breakfast in the lobby, cable tv, ice makers, fluffy bath towels.
Christian teaching on hospitality is not the hospitality industry; it is all about relationship.
#1—Let's look at the Middle Easter notion of hospitality that Abraham and Sarah would have been expected to follow.
In the desert regions of the Middle East, stopping in at the hottest part of the day, for cool water and a meal was important. There were no rest stops on the turnpike, nor were there Holiday Inns dotting the desert sands. Food and water Abraham and Sarah provide means survival for his guests.
On the other end, Abraham and Sarah could expect to receive the news of the outside world, where the best fruit could be purchased or the best spices, where the roads were dangerous to travel, due to bandits or storms.
Put in this way, the relationship is paramount.
She was amazing with the number of things she knew about food, lighting, wine, coffees.
Yet, every year, every year around the holidays, she would get into a fight with her relatives. They brought the wrong dish to pass. The gifts were the wrong size. Aunt Sadie wasn't invited over, because of some slight from 15 years ago, which caused the family to have two of everything. Two Christmases, two Thanksgivings and on and on it went.
She had what she thought was the perfectly hospitable home. But it was a house of cards; it was enormously stressful for everyone involved. No one cared to be there for the holidays.
She ignored the fact that relationship is the key to hospitality; not the knapp of the carpet.
True hospitality is more than putting the right dishes on the table. It is a state of mind.
#2—Jennifer and I were invited over by some of the Russians we met in Germany in 2003. They left Russia after the fall of communism in 1989. Their economy was a shambles, and they left to go to Germany, much more stable economic life.
Being new in the country, Jennifer and I were invited by an elderly couple, quite poor. Invited over for coffee at 3 p.m.
In Russia, when you have guests over for coffee, it's not for coffee. Jen and I had eaten lunch. But we were greeted at the door, with an aperitif, Russian Vodka. Then there was a little bit of soup. Then came some meatballs, with home baked bread, mugs of steaming hot, black coffee. Noodles, more meatballs. Then cake, cookies, cheap chocolate, very precious to them. This family fed us beyond anything I've ever eaten in my life! And it wasn't because I was the pastor, this is how they did things in Russia, you come over for coffee, you spend the afternoon, and you eat until you are stuffed.
Hebrews 13:2—Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
Contrast how we normally talk about strangers. Stranger is a foe, an unknown, an enemy. Stranger is someone to be wary of; even afraid of. Strangers could hurt you, steal from you.
Not in the Bible. Strangers are your friends, your next miracle, your next encounter with God.
Does Abraham know that these men, for whom he's grilling are angels? No. But he knows how to treat the stranger.
I remember a time, we graduated seminary. We were celebrating the graduates on a May afternoon.
There was a reception for the graduates and their families in the courtyard. Grilled hamburgers/hot dogs, the usual.
Two kids, they were from the neighborhood. Must have been about 12 or 11. Riding their bikes, spied the cookout and got in line.
To my shame, to this day, one of the Senior students, student government, went to the end of the line and politely told them, this party was an invitation only event.
Really? We had it so counted out to the exact number that we couldn't spare two hamburgers? Of course not. (I was near the end of the line—I checked, we had extra).
What did those children learn about Christians? There's a party and it's not for you. Instead, what if this Student Government person, took them by the hand and introduced them to friends?
Those two kids learned the wrong lesson that day, that this seminary, this place, is not a place for hospitality.
Never forget, as the author of the Book of Hebrews says, that your next encounter may be with the angels. Amen.
Previous Post Thursday Morning Update!


The short supply of skilled labour has always been a hot discussion topic in Alberta's business community. The pinch of finding skilled employees is a fresh memory for many employers, but the energy industry has always felt the labour pains of a fast-growing economy more than most.
At the height of the boom from 2005 to early 2008, both the oil and gas industries were buzzing with activity as prices were near or at all-time highs.
It made human resource officers' jobs nearly impossible because both industries were chasing the same sets of skilled workers, who would have been scarce just meeting the demands of the oilsands growth, says Greg Stringham, vice-president with Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.
But following the 2008 market meltdown, the pressing need for skilled labour eased off for a short period. Of course, that was short-lived and, today, demand is ramping up again.
While demand may have eased from those wild boom days, industry leading firms have never stopped planning to meet the staggering demand for labour in Alberta, and even across Canada, in the coming decades.
"We expect to see substantial growth, maybe not at the same pace we saw a few years ago, but at least we've come out of the recession in a manner that shows some growth in the oil business," Stringham says.
And the growth today is found in unexpected places. Natural gas production may have waned since 2007 as prices have dropped and supply increased, but conventional oil production – once thought to be on its way out – has experienced a resurgence because of advances in drilling technology.
"It's up by about 200,000 barrels at day in our forecast," says Stringham.
Energy sector jobs run the gamut from oil and gas to conventional electricity, coal and renewable endeavours like solar and wind. But it's the oil and gas industry that fuels Canada's economy, says Mary McDonald, the dean of SAIT Polytechnic's MacPhail School of Energy.
"It's difficult in Alberta not to find a job that is in some way linked to the industry," she says.
It's also expected to lead the nation in job growth over the next 20 years. Alberta's oilsands currently employs 75,000 people directly and indirectly through economic spinoffs such as housing and consumer spending. That figure is expected to be 900,000 by 2035, Stringham says.
But many firms in the sector are already facing labour market challenges, says Wayne Thomas, human resources manager for Alliance Pipeline.
He says all major industry firms are facing short-to longterm problems for two reasons. One is the expected future growth of the industry itself. The other is an aging workforce. Many of the skilled positions are occupied by the baby boomers – born between 1946 and 1964. The first wave of this generation turned 65 this year, and many human resource experts forecast the retiring boomers will lead to further shortages in skilled labour that will be amplified in the energy industry where skilled workers are already scarce.
Over the next decade, the number of Alberta workers age 55 and older is forecast increase to more than one million. That's more than 25 per cent of the total workforce, according a recent report by the Alberta government. By 2019, the workforce shortage across all industries will be about 77,000 workers.
Employers, such as Alliance have been developing work retention programs specifically aimed at their aging skilled employees who may be considering retirement in the next few years.
Almost all major firms have mentorship programs in place, aimed at encouraging older employees to stay on and work with new workers so they can pass on several years of on-the-job experience. Many employers are also offering wage incentives and flexible hours to sweeten the deal, he says.
Calfrac Well Services CEO Doug Ramsay says training employees throughout their careers has always been the most important piece of retention strategies at his oil and gas firm because skilled workers have historically had high mobility, going from one employer to the next.
"By increasing training, we've cut our turnover in half," says Ramsay, co-founder of Calfrac Well Services.
Ramsay has certainly put his money where his mouth is. He and his business partner Ron Mathison recently donated $4 million to SAIT.
Like all post-secondary institutions across Alberta, SAIT has been working with industry to address the future workforce demands.
"But it's been a challenge" says McDonald.
"I have a huge demand for my graduates, but I struggle with getting enough applications to some of our programs," she says.
Part of the problem is not enough high school graduates are choosing post-secondary education. She says Alberta has the lowest number of high school graduates that continue on to post secondary education.
And many of those who do choose postsecondary are leaving before they finish their programs because the industry – desperate for labour – is offering them full-time work, she says.
But even with plans to increase the number of spaces available at the school, McDonald says industry demands likely will outpace the technical school's ability to train and graduate students.
Of course, that isn't just SAIT's problem. It's a provincewide one because it will ultimately negatively impact economic growth.

Over the years, in order to keep labels short and simple for plants that we have sold in flask, we have made many registrations of our parent plants with the Royal Horticultural Society. These registrations are listed below.
We intend entering some of our plants in shows in the coming years and may well make further registrations which will be added to the list below.
The Royal Horticultural Society requires anyone seeking to register an orchid name to obtain the permission of the originator. After the closure of Firetail Orchids, in case anyone wishes to register a new name for any cross made by Firetail Orchids, we will maintain up to date contact details on this website into the future.
When seeking our permission, it would assist us to give a positive response quickly if proposed new names could preferably be in the format "Firetail (your proposed word)". It will also assist a quick positive response if you avoid overused words like Delight and Dream!

ALL HAIL THE CONQUERING emerging-market stocks. Equities in developed markets, like Europe, are being eschewed by many investors now. Even emerging markets tainted with an Old World connection, such as Eastern Europe, are shunned.
For example, funds that invest in Western European equities have had year-to-date outflows of $17.8 billion, according to EPFR Global, an outfit that tracks global institutional fund flows. Even Eastern European funds, though they invest in emerging-market assets, have shown outflows of nearly $750 million, excluding Russia. Where's that money going? Some $71.2 billion year to date went into emerging-market equity funds, says EPFR.
A decade ago, Continental stocks were as hot as Internet stocks, but in 2010 Europe seems to have fallen off investors' maps.
The risk aversion that characterized 2009 has shifted to a search for stocks that offer growth, and the easiest and clearest path to that is EM stocks, not Europe's. The former often offer profit growth rates that are multiples of comparable European stocks. However, a portfolio full of EM equities comes with plenty of risk to go along with that growth.
One less risky way to play strong EM economic expansion is through the shares of global European companies that get lots of sales in emerging markets. Among European stocks, exposure to EM was an important factor in stock outperformance in 2009 and so far in 2010, too, notes Jonathan Stubbs, European strategist for Citigroup Global Markets. And many European stocks with a bias toward EM growth offer relatively low valuations, as well.
While EM stocks have been on a tear and are generally richly valued, "many of these EM-exposed European stocks are no more expensive relative to the market than they were five years ago," he notes. That's happened mainly because that stock-price outperformance has been matched by earnings-growth outperformance. Perhaps more important, on absolute measures of valuation, many of these stocks are less expensive than five years ago—some 10% cheaper or more.
Citigroup has put together a basket of European stocks with EM sales making up at least 25% of total revenue. While an investor could find companies with EM sales exposure of 50% or more, they would mostly be a small group of resource-related stocks, posing commodity-price risks, Stubbs says.
This Citigroup list contains big names with strong balance sheets and better access to funding, the strategist says. One is Germany's global engineering giant Siemens (ticker: SI), whose price/earnings ratio now is down 25% from its five-year average. Other names in the group include: Akzo Nobel (AKZOY) a chemicals company favorably mentioned in this column not long ago; global miner Anglo American (AAUKY); British American Tobacco (BTI); Austrian bank Erste Group (EBKOF); GEA (GEAGF), another German engineering company; bank Standard Chartered (SCBFF); Unilever (UN); and Xstrata (XSRAF), another resource company. Some of these stocks have U.S.- traded shares that are illiquid.
While this is a backdoor way to EM growth, without the growth level of EM stocks, a well-designed portfolio should be diverse, both by sector and geography. Call it EM lite.
THE DOW JONES STOXX index finished little changed last week at 265.96. Telecom and utility sectors managed a rise of over 2%, but banks and construction stocks fell about 2%.
European stocks were broadly unchanged last week; telecom and utilities rose.

Have you ever been so fully focused on what you were doing that the rest of the world seemed to fall away? It might have happened when you were engrossed in a page-turner, playing your favorite instrument, sprinting across the finish line of a 10K, or working on an art project. These fleeting moments of intense absorption are glimpses of dharana, the sixth step on Patanjali's eight-limbed path of yoga from his seminal work of yoga philosophy, the Yoga Sutras.
Dharana is usually translated as "concentration." In Sutra 3.1 of the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali defines dharana as "the binding of the mind to a single point of focus." Yogis often use the breath as a point of focus, but it could be a sensation in the body, a mantra, an image … basically anything to which you can fasten your attention.
For context, let's look at the steps that precede dharana. The first three steps on the eight-limbed path are the outer practices, or bahiranga sadhana: the yamas (universal ethical practices), niyamas (personal lifestyle observances), and asana (posture). These steps allow you to control your emotions and keep your body healthy.
The fourth and fifth steps, pranayama (breath control) and pratyahara (sensory withdrawal) are the inner practices, or antaranga sadhana. They teach you to regulate your breath, tame your mind, and free your senses from the objects of desire.
Dharana, the first of the innermost practices, enables you to move beyond the body and the mind to dig into the depths of your soul. While moments of concentration sometimes happen spontaneously (as in the examples mentioned above), the dharana that Patanjali refers to is an intentional state of absorption and focus. It can be actively practiced and honed, like any other skill. This practice of concentration leads to a deeper understanding of the self.
When you first attempt to sit down and practice dharana, the mind is like a puppy dog that you're training to stay. First, you set the puppy down on the ground and say, "Stay!" He sits still for a few moments. Then he sees a squirrel and tears off after it. So you run after him, pick him up, set him down again, and say, "Stay!" He sits still for another few seconds, then trots over and licks your leg. So you pick him up, put him down yet again, and say, "Stay!" If you have a LOT of patience, you do this over, and over, and over again, and the puppy learns to stay still for longer and longer.
This is exactly how you train your mind to concentrate. First you choose an object to focus on, such as the breath. You sit down, find your breath, and begin to pay attention to it. You notice how it sounds and feels. Pretty soon, your mind wanders. When you realize it has, you bring your attention back to your breath. A few seconds later, you're lost in thought again, so you come back to the breath. You keep doing this, over, and over, and over again.
It's not easy! If you've ever attempted to focus your mind on the sound of your breath throughout an entire yoga class, you understand how elusive dharana truly is. But you've probably also experienced brief moments where you were intensely focused on your breath and felt the exhilaration of being completely absorbed by the present moment, with no thoughts of the past or future, no worries, no stress, no nagging inner-critic, no iPhone, no Facebook, no concept of time. These brief moments are themselves dharana, and through practice, we can experience them for longer and longer.
By honing your concentration skills, you're also preparing for the seventh step: dhyana, or meditation. It is then that the separate and brief moments of concentration that are dharana merge into one uninterrupted flow of meditative absorption.

The first thought I had the first time I tested Coup de Foudre by Parfums DelRae on my skin was "uh-oh". It's that kind of rose". By no fault of Parfums DelRae or creator Yann Vasnier, there's a certain kind of rose notes that especially when combined with citrus and musk turn dour and chemical on my skin. Honestly, it's not you, it's me.
The interesting thing is that I could (and still can every time I give Coup de Foudre a try) smell the clean musk first and more strongly than anything else. Then comes the rosewater lemonade and my mind tells me it's supposed to be pretty but my nose cries for mercy. Thankfully, the opening revolt only last minutes and this is a well-crafted Parfums DelRae and not your average Sephora dreck, so upon close inspection of my skin I can actually smell some really pleasant notes like peony and something even more delicate and floral. There's a powdery quality just above the skin and I really like it, but when I come up for air I realize I'm still walking in a sour rose cloud and leaving that sillage everywhere. And, that, my friends, is not fair either to me or to my nearest and dearest (the husband is even less of a rose fan as me).
The thing is, Coup de Foudre has all the right moves. It's a quiet and friendly rose, very girly but not ditzy. You can smell the quality of ingredients and the light and confident hand that made the composition. If my niece will grow up into a rose lover with the right skin chemistry, this DelRae may be among the first perfumes I would buy her when she becomes a teenager. For myself, I'm sticking with Bois de Paradis.
For a different perspective from a true rose lover read Jessica's review on NST.
Coup de Foudre by Parfums DelRae ($150, 50ml) is available from Aedes, Luckyscent, Barneys and Beautyhabit. My samples came from Aedes in NYC.
Gaia, I totally agree with your review! But even if I don't have any intention to buy this, I think you got the price wrong because this for sure doesn't retail for 50dollars, maybe it's 150?


Regular U.S. mint sets were not issued from 1965 to 1967. The regular U.S. mint series was restored in 1968. That year's set had a mintage of just 2.1 million. Thirty years later the 1998 mint set production was even lower at 1.2 million. That was the last 10-coin set before the introduction of the statehood quarter series. Included in both sets are specially minted Brilliant Uncirculated specimens of all the U.S. circulation coin issues for the year including both Philadelphia (P mintmark) and Denver (D) cents, nickels, dimes, quarters and half dollars.

Christopher Brown traveled half way around the world to become Brazil's newest native son.
Brown is your guide to Development, Production and Service in Brazil for all who hail from within or without this great country.
Filmmaking would become Brown's new obsession. He would make and star in his own productions every weekend. When he was 16 he got his first chance to work on a live set at Warner Bros Studio. He was hooked. Then a brief and successful detour into professional acting followed. But none of this could keep him from wanting to explore the world.
But it would be Brazil that would capture his heart.
He traveled throughout Brazil, staying with a variety of local families who would teach him the culture and beautiful language of Portuguese. He continued this journey for over a year, filming short documentaries on what he saw and shaping what would become his first of many "professional" projects that he would showcase.
Chris Brown returned to the USA and enrolled at the prestigious Brooks Institute.
He knew that having a strong working knowledge of every role from development, production and post would give him the tools to be a top tier professional creative storyteller, whether that be a director, producer or actor.
Brown won the prestigious national Panavision Grant Award for his film Armistice, which he developed and produced. He graduated film school with honor and began directing and producing local ad spots in Los Angeles for major local networks and cable stations including NBC, ABC, and ESPN.
Three years later, Brown returned to Brazil, volunteered for Cinema Nossa, a motion picture and theatre NGO that works with underprivileged youth from the favelas, by teaching an acting workshop for teenagers. When O2Films, the company of director Fernando Merielles, heard they invited Brown to meet them at their studio in Sao Paulo.
Immediately the producers offered him a job as a producer in their international production department.
Brown began to freelance with various production companies. Word spread between Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro of a new creative director/producer from California who was proving to be a man of knowledge and experience. GQ Brazil hired him to work on their editorial campaigns. Foreign producers began calling, as they searched for the "inside man" in the production and development world in Brazil.
Needing someone who possessed both big picture vision and the ability to turn it into a reality, Brown was hired by a high-end hospitality and service company to some of the world's biggest clients at the 2014 World Cup.
It was here that Brown honed his skills for providing top-of-the-line service to companies working in Brazil. Brown developed strategy and implemented an intensive campaign for the World cup. He would combine his creative vision, logistical capabilities and general problem solving acumen with the cool Hollywood style glamour of events, parties and hospitality for clients such as Adidas, Nike and many other Forbes 500 companies.
Brown's diverse interests in genre and format make him extremely flexible and versatile. From developing original content to branded content, feature films to editorials, Brown continues to push the creative boundaries, while bringing the highest production value and best logistics to projects.
After many months of intensive preparations, Brown lead a team of driven multinationals to successfully deliver on one of the biggest and most well known events on the planet – the World Cup. From the huge success of the World Cup campaign, Brown was recognized as one of the most trusted and sought-after production and creative producers in the country.
Now focusing on the next international sporting event, Brown aims to combine all of the logistics and hospitality he provided for the 2014 World Cup. His goal is to bring everything from accommodations, transportations, production, content, equipment and locations under one roof – Chris Brown Creative and Lagoa Productions -- the strongest move for the media and corporate sponsor companies coming to Brazil to participate in any and all global, national or local sporting events.

Glenn Grothman
stated on October 30, 2015 in an interview:
Wisconsin's 6th congressional "district has more manufacturing jobs than almost any other" in the nation.
Republican Wisconsin state Sen. Glenn Grothman on Nov. 4, 2014, celebrating his election win for a seat in Congress.
By James B. Nelson November 20, 2015
Rep. Glenn Grothman says his district has more manufacturing jobs than any other district
In making the transition from state lawmaker to a U.S. Congressman, Republican Glenn Grothman has learned a few things about national issues -- and his new district.
As a candidate in 2014, Grothman -- like the other Republicans seeking the open seat -- opposed the U.S. Export-Import Bank. Grothman called the agency a form of "corporate welfare" and promised not to support the institution.
But employers in his district told him they are heavy users of the bank, which helps companies sell their goods and services in foreign countries by providing financing for export deals.
Ultimately, Grothman voted to support reauthorization of the bank -- a Full Flop on our Flip-O-Meter. At the time, he said he reconsidered after listening to Wisconsin employers who benefit from the bank.
And Grothman told us that, since taking office, he's learned a lot about the 6th District. With about 710,000 residents, it's a little more than four times as large as his state Senate district.
One tidbit he picked up: "This district has more manufacturing jobs than almost any other" in the nation. That claim caught our attention.
Is Grothman right?
Before we dig into the numbers, let's look at some of the manufacturers in his district that urged him to support the Export-Import bank. In all, Grothman said he heard from 42 businesses.
Those companies include defense contractor Oshkosh Corp. and crane manufacturer Manitowoc Co.

Grothman said he knew manufacturing was important to Wisconsin, but initially assumed that Congressional districts in large cities like Chicago might have a greater share of manufacturers.
As backup on the claim the 6th District is among the most manufacturing-heavy in the nation, Grothman pointed us to a January 2015 report from the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute on the importance of manufacturing jobs.
According to the report, which is build on data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics:
Wisconsin is the nation's No. 2 state in percentage of total employment which are manufacturing jobs, behind Indiana. The report said that as of 2013, there were 458,400 manufacturing jobs in Wisconsin, about 16.3 percent of the state workforce.
The 6th District has about 80,000 manufacturing jobs out of a workforce of 353,700. That's a share of 22.6 percent, putting it third, behind two districts in Indiana - one in the far northeast corner and the other in the north western portion of the state.
The 6th District is No. 1 in terms of total manufacturing employment, followed by the 3rd District in Indiana which has 76,200.
Four Wisconsin congressional districts (the 1st, 5th 6th, and 8th) are in the top 11 nationally, in terms of manufacturing jobs as a share of total employment.
All are represented in the House by Republicans. The 1st is in the southern and eastern part of the state, represented by Paul Ryan; the 5th, represented by Jim Sensenbrenner, includes suburban counties north and west of Milwaukee; the 6th is represented by Grothman and the 8th is in northeastern Wisconsin, represented by Reid Ribble.
Grothman's introduction to Washington included some insights --and political pressure -- about his district that caused him to switch his position on the Export-Import Bank.
In explaining his switch, he said the 6th District has more manufacturing jobs than almost any other other in the nation. He's right both in terms of the percent of jobs in manufacturing (3rd) and the raw number (1st).
We rate the statement True.

Character mistake: When Dr. Brackett talks to the attempted suicide's boyfriend, he tells Brackett that the girl has already attempted suicide a total of three times, and the first time she was hospitalized, but a minute later when Dr. Morton reads the hospital records and tells Brackett that the girl attempted suicide the previous year and was hospitalized, Brackett then tells Morton that her boyfriend said that she tried it three additional times. It was just a minute earlier that the boyfriend said two additional times, not three.
Details - S4-E12
Revealing mistake: When Squad 51 leaves Rampart, in the first interior shot facing Roy as John says, "Yeah, I'll tell ya, when it hits ya... Boy when I met Valerie it hit me," through the back window we can see movement at the back of the squad. But in the shot facing Roy when John says, "So that's that... That's exactly how it is," through that back window we can actually see a crew member's face (sideways), who has a mustache, right behind John's head, as he's riding on the back of the moving squad. It's so funny, have a look.
Other mistake: During the structure fire, when Engine 98 rolls up we can see the large red vinyl adhered to the top of the engine's cab. Then when Truck 106 rolls up we see its company number 106 on the door, but in the overhead shot we can see the number 8 on the roof of the cab, not 106. This presumably means that the door has one of the prop dept's magnetic decals imprinted with 106, and the roof still shows the Truck company's real number.
Other mistake: After finding out about Valerie's three kids, when Johnny and Roy are sitting in the station's locker room at the start of their next shift, there are a few moments during this conversation where Kevin Tighe softly mouths some of Randolph Mantooth's lines as Johnny is speaking, particularly when Johnny says "Beautiful chic."
Visible crew/equipment: When Johnny jumps from the third floor ledge onto the lifenet, in the shot of his actual jump we can see a cameraman wearing jeans at the bottom left corner of the screen, who's holding a handheld camera shooting footage while lying on the street. The angle of that footage can be seen just as Captain Stanley shouts, "Gage, you first," and also when they walk the lifenet over to their left, before Cap shouts, "Okay, Roy!"
Visible crew/equipment: When Roy and Johnny are with the boy who bit the dog, as they kneel down to get the hiding dog, the outlines of the mic transmitter and wire are visible on the right side of Johnny's shirt.
Visible crew/equipment: On scene at the fire caused by gasoline stored near a boiler, when Johnny and Roy are with the burn victim, the outlines of the lav mic transmitter and wire are visible on the back, left side of Johnny's shirt.
Visible crew/equipment: After Valerie is hit by the car, when Roy and Johnny tend to her, the outlines of the mic transmitter and wire are visible on the back, right side of Roy's shirt.
Other mistake: After Station 51 is dispatched to the structure fire, just as Roy and Johnny start heading upstairs we see footage from 4x3, "Gossip," when Johnny brings the hose to the stairs at the chemical fire, but the line doesn't reach so he leaves the hose at the bottom step, and they continue up.
Visible crew/equipment: During the structure fire, after Roy and John climb out onto the ledge and the fire flashes in the exterior shots, the next interior shots we see shows stacked boxes falling as the fire flashes through the doors. The interior shots are from episode 3x7, "Promotion", during the structure fire, after the security guard is taken down the ladder. We can even see a crew member's hand pushing a lower box which causes them all to fall.
Parade - S4-E13
Continuity mistake: When Johnny and Roy are heading to the parade in The Old Engine, and get sidetracked dealing with a fire rescue, they are wearing the old-style shirts with a ten-button, square bottom bib front, with five buttons on each side. When Captain Stanley laughs at them on the roof, their shirt style differs in the close-up, it's now a nine-button, pointy bottom bib, with four buttons on each side and one button at the bottom point.
Visible crew/equipment: When Johnny and Roy are on their way to the parade in The Old Engine, in close-ups facing them, the reflection of a crew member's hand holding camera equipment is visible on the hood of the engine.
Other mistake: After the apartment house fire, the restored old engine is trashed by a hail of bricks. Later, when Roy and Johnny are talking about who won the first prize, The Old Engine in the back looks nothing like it did when it was wrecked on the street. Also, the shot of The Old Engine that's shown here, is actually the same footage shown in season 3, "The Old Engine", with the lighting dimmed to signify nighttime, when at the end of the episode Roy and Johnny decide to keep it. Note the exact same broken pieces of windshield, tires, hubcaps, dirt, shadows, everything.
Visible crew/equipment: When Johnny, Roy, and Chet are removing the woman from her car, the bulging outlines of the mic transmitters and wires are visible on the back, left side of Johnny's shirt, and back, right side of Roy's shirt.
Continuity mistake: While on the way to the parade in The Old Engine, when Johnny and Roy deal with the fire rescue and reach the roof, Johnny has a rope bundle swung across from his left shoulder to his right hip. However, in the next shot as they run across the roof, the bundle is now swung from his right shoulder to left hip, and the rope is also bundled differently.
Continuity mistake: When Roy and Johnny are driving to the parade in the fixed up old engine, they repeatedly switch between the road's right lane and left lane, depending on the camera angle.
Continuity mistake: When Roy and John are at the nurses' station talking to Brackett and Dixie about The Old Engine, at the bottom right corner of the screen we can see the patient's metal clipboard chart being held, before Early even walks over to the nurses' station holding a chart. Then when Early does walk over he stands to Brackett's right, but in shots facing Dix and Johnny we still see that chart being held, where Roy is supposedly standing, not Early. Additionally, the charts hanging on the chart holder change/vanish between shots.
The Bash - S4-E14
Visible crew/equipment: After Johnny and Roy save the man at Vic's party, when they are leaving, the reflections of crew members and production equipment are visible on the orange surface of the ambulance as it drives away.
Visible crew/equipment: At Vic's party, when Roy and Johnny are walking up the steps of the house (just before seeing Monique), the reflection of the cameraman holding the handheld camera is visible in the door's glass, when he steps backwards as the guys walk in.
Continuity mistake: While Johnny, Roy, and Vic try to outrun Charlene inside Stage 3, after heading down the ladder, when Roy opens the door to find Charlene standing there, Johnny's holding the red extinguisher in his right hand and the nozzle in his left hand, but next shot they've switched hands.
Breakdown - S6-E15
During Richard's rescue from the ledge at Rampart, the snorkel that Roy and Brackett climb onto is Truck 127, from Station 127 aka Station 51. Truck 127 is used in many episodes requiring a snorkel, including 1x6, "Dealer's Wild" and 3x16, "Fools." There's a particularly nice shot at the end of this episode, when Engine 51 and Squad 51 are parked parallel to each other, and when Johnny responds to dispatch that Squad 51 is available, Truck 127 drives away between 51's vehicles. Nice touch.


Another thing to keep in mind is you never know what you'll end up loving. Some people chose careers based on potential earnings and ended up loving what they do so that's a possibility as well.

It was a star-studded affair at ArtLife's VIP preview for the Street Dreams gallery exhibit.
Kourtney Kardashian found herself at the event in West Hollywood on Friday night — alongside her ex, Scott Disick, and his girlfriend, Sofia Richie.
Disick and Richie stayed close as they were photographed outside the exhibit arm-in-arm. Richie sported a curve-hugging brown dress, while her boyfriend wore a white T-shirt and black leather jacket.
Kardashian, meanwhile, showed off some cleavage in a low-cut white top as she arrived at the event with friends, including her sister, Kim Kardashian, and Larsa Pippen. While Kardashian was not photographed with Disick and Richie at the event, @SarahMOnline also known as Sarah Moore, tells ET that the group had dinner together at Craig's that night.
Kardashian was spotted at the same restaurant as Disick and Richie earlier this month. It was the first time the trio had been photographed together since Disick, 35, started dating Richie, 20, in 2017. He and Kardashian, 39, went their separate ways in 2015.
The former couple appears to be on good terms now, however their relationship drama recently played out on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, when Disick introduced their kids — 8-year-old Mason, 6-year-old Penelope and 3-year-old Reign — to Richie without telling Kardashian first.
