The Candida Diaries | A healthy lifestyle guide for low sugar, low carb living!
Last week a friend and former Kripalu volunteer informed me that the Volunteer Program at Kripalu, called Seva, had been eliminated. A search turned up nothing more than this grammatically incorrect sentence on the Kripalu website: "We recognize and honor, respect, and thank all of those who devoted their time in selfless service to Kripalu and its mission over the last 30 years." Above which it states they are no longer accepting applications. Then I learned that the Inner Quest Intensive, Kripalu's longest running, signature program, was also canceled. There are many reasons why I feel this change as a huge loss, not just personally, but for our community as well. Most importantly, without the opportunity to volunteer, Kripalu is now unwelcoming to those who can't a afford a $100 day pass, let alone a program. This cuts Kripalu off from part of its community and makes it seem like just another exclusive yoga resort. I implore the Kripalu Board of Trustees to reconsider this decision.
I love Kripalu. I have referred to the place as my spiritual home and count myself lucky to live so close that I can pop over for dinner on a Wednesday with my BKC membership! Years ago I received a scholarship to attend the Inner Quest Intensive (IQI), which is, as the name suggests, really intense. It was the most challenging and useful program of self-development I have ever taken and holy wow did it change my life. Until recently, it was the longest running, most significant program Kripalu has offered. To many of us former volunteers and co-workers, ending all volunteer opportunities and the IQI as well, looks like the last of what began as an ashram has been discarded and the transformation is complete: The Kripalu campus has become a world-class yoga retreat for those who can afford such luxuries. Without Seva, which is the counterpoint to luxury, there's no longer a community in residence dedicated to walking the talk and living the yoga. One sentiment echoed by many: Kripalu has no prana left. Shakti has left the sanctuary. This is a profound and palpable loss. I am writing this to ask the board of directors to bring these foundational programs back! And, if not, then what will they do in place of these programs, to keep Kripalu accessible to everyone?
The Volunteer Program is what made Kripalu, a non-profit, and its community unique. Seva means service. For the past 30 years anyone could apply to this free exchange program, acceptance was based on merit. Every volunteer made a commitment of time and service to Kripalu and in return received room and board and a place in the yoga centered Seva program. Seva is what made Kripalu yoga open to everyone. Folks came from all over the globe, including right here in Berkshire county, to experience the reciprocal gift of living yoga and serving their community.
So why would Kripalu end two of its longest running programs? Programs that had an incredibly profound effect on those who participated in them. Here's what I learned when I talked with some former volunteers and Kripalu employees, past and present, about Seva: in the past few years there has been a suicide, a sexual assault and too many calls to the cops. There have been too many people joining the Seva program looking for a free ride or a way to escape. I was shocked and saddened by this. What a shame. And what place would want death, assault and the local cops associated with it?
Seva is a privilege and it seems like too many folks signed up to take advantage. Too many people came with the attitude of what can Kripalu do for me, instead of how can I serve? This kind of abuse is clearly unacceptable. Seva volunteers should be setting an example for the rest of community. There must be a way to change what wasn't working in order to preserve the heart of this program for the rest of us. Why not invest in turning Seva into an optimal version of itself, something to be proud of again? There was a time, in the not too distant past, when the Seva program was in balance and making a contribution to the entire Kripalu community.
What kind of message does it send to eliminate something because it's not working like it used to? Isn't Seva the kind of program an institution like Kripalu needs to remain grounded and connected to its mission, its roots and its community? Seva is for everyone! Service is an integral part of yoga, as any student will tell you. Bring the volunteer program back so that Kripalu can continue to be a space for so many people to have life changing experiences doing Seva. Please don't let a few troubled participants and a few poor decisions take Seva away from everyone. Kripalu has so much to offer– how can we keep it that way?
It seems the recent past has not been a bright one for the Volunteer Program. Perhaps now is the time to share our stories about how Seva and/or the Inner Quest Intensive has had a profound positive effect on our lives. Let's share our love of these two core Kripalu programs with the members of the Kripalu Board of Trustees, asking them to reconsider. In the very least, I think the community needs an explanation of what must have been a very difficult decision. Even if we can not convince the Kripalu Board members to reinstate the Volunteer Program, at least we can give it the commemorative ending it deserves.
And share here as well!

Impact of climate change
As well as the need to slash greenhouse gas emissions (mitigation), the Paris Agreement also requires each country to adapt to the implications of climate change (GRI 103-1). Switzerland has been making considerable efforts to protect against natural hazards for many years, taking the predicted effects of climate change into account. The insurance industry has supported various projects within the industry, the federal government or municipalities in connection with natural hazard prevention for many years (GRI 103-2). The most important projects are listed below (GRI 103-3).
Damage to buildings caused by extreme weather events has increased steadily in recent years. Depending on the location and type of construction project or building, the potential options include structural, technical or organisational measures. Since protection against natural hazards is not a mandatory requirement in many areas, property developers and owners are responsible for the matter themselves. The platform 'Schutz vor Naturgefahren' offers specific tips and all the basic information available in Switzerland. The website was completely redesigned and updated in 2020. The 'Schutz vor Naturgefahren' project is backed by key players in the area of building protection: the association of cantonal buildings insurers (VKG), the Swiss Insurance Association (SIA), the Swiss homeowners' association (HEV), the Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects (SIA), the association of Swiss cantonal banks (VSKB) and the association of Swiss municipalities (ASC).
Thunderstorms triggering hail events cause substantial damage time and again. In Switzerland, more than a third of all claims relating to damage to buildings caused by natural perils are due to hail events. In the agricultural sector, hail damage amounting to between CHF 40 million and CHF 150 million occurs every year. The proportionality of protective measures against hail depends not only on the costs of the measures, but also to a considerable degree on the expected probability of occurrence. Better climatological data bases for planning and prevention efforts makes an important contribution to the economy. In a joint project with the stakeholders involved, a new hail climatology for Switzerland is currently being developed under the auspices of the Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology MeteoSwiss. The project results will be made freely available to all users from the public and private sectors. The SIA is heavily involved in the project, which is scheduled for completion in the course of 2021.
In order to keep building damage to a minimum in the event of a severe hailstorm, the individual components must be able to withstand the impact of a hailstone. The hail register includes a list of components tested for hail resistance. New components are tested and published every year. The SIA also supports the work on this register.
In 2016, the Federal Council decided to implement the 67 measures listed in the report 'Umgang mit Naturgefahren in der Schweiz' (Dealing with Natural Hazards in Switzerland) to improve safety against natural hazards. It commissioned the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC) to prepare a report on the status of implementation of the measures. The report, which was prepared under the leadership of the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) and presented in 2020, shows that, although Switzerland is on track, there is still a lot of work to do. Currently, 25 per cent of the planned measures have been implemented. As some measures are implemented jointly with the insurance industry, the SIA was also involved in preparation of the report.
With the help of a support group from administration, practice and research, successful flood protection strategies that can be taken by homeowners are identified and communicated with the help of films. Credible protagonists from the target group report on the flood protection measures they have implemented successfully. Three of these films have already been made and were released in spring 2020. The SIA provided active support in this project.
In addition to the projects supported by the association and thus the entire insurance industry, individual insurance companies have provided financial support for various protection projects.

I've been rewriting a novel I've been working on for quite a while under the genre of paranormal romance. The problem I am facing is that in my attempts to improve my manuscript, I feel my story is drifting out of this genre, possibly into science fiction or fantasy.
You always say to read your genre and know it well, but I am not well versed in the sci-fi world (I have read a good amount of fantasy though).
Do you find books that combine genres to be popular? My main concern is that the genre's I'm crossing may not work together--the paranormal romance scene is quite different, in my opinion, than that of sci-fi.
Finding the right category for a book is a troublesome task for those of us on this side of the slush pile too.
The trick here is to think about who will read your book and love it. That's one of the reasons you have to know a category really well.
If you think about people who read crime novels, they want resolution of a problem, and most definitely want justice to be done. It may be rough justice, vigilante justice, last rites, divine justice or just desserts, but there must be a reckoning of sorts to be a crime novel.
Romance novels must have a romantic relationship that grows, is challenged, breaks and then heals. The plot arc is largely the arc of the relationship rather than outside events. In a romance, someone must end up happy, and most usually happy with a love interest.
I don't read enough SFF to know what readers must have. It's more than cyborgs, dragons and space travel though.
And it's not enough to use the tropes of a genre to make a book fit in a genre.
Paranormal romance is shelved in romance, SFF is not. You're very right to understand these are two very different categories.
And it's very common to have books in one category also contain elements from another. There's crimesolving in romance, there's romance in crime fiction. There are dragons and crimes and romance in SF.
Finish the novel. Get a couple beta reads. Ask the readers what author it reminds them of. If you've got good beta readers they'll guide you.
And in the end, don't fret. I don't discard queries based solely on the category authors tell me they're writing, cause at least 50% of the time, they're wrong. I look at what they tell me about the book.
All that to say I was happy to read your last sentence, "I look at what they tell me about the book."
I wish I could blame auto-correct, instead I'll blame lack of caffeine.
This has been a question that's been bugging me for a while. I wasn't even sure how to form it. Very helpful in so many ways.
Patchi...thanks for the two sites.
Thank you for this helpful information. I am encouraged to learn that half of the submissions you receive get the genre wrong. And that you don't discard based solely on that basis. Thanks, too, to Patchi for the sites.
Category or genre are about selling the book. Write it first, and be true to the story. THEN figure out how to sell it.
You really helped me with that last response. I went to a Mexican restaurant the other day and ordered a meal with "just desserts" thinking it was something to eat and they brought me a Lee Child novel.
I've been confused about that ever since.
Great Q&A. Re: what readers are looking for in SF, as a SF reader I can tell you that what I love about it (not maybe what others, just personally) is the otherworldliness with a touch of science (even pseudoscience!). It's like fantasy for nerds.
BP did a nice job on the difference between SF and paranormal. In SF having 3 arms is normal, in fact, only having 2 may make you the freak, whereas paranormal is more of "I have a power that caused me to grow a third arm."
Glad to know the final sorting is done my the pros.
As a writer of fantasy, I'll chime in. The major draw in fantasy is wonder. To a degree, that's true in science fiction, too.
Lois McMaster Bujold (who is an award winner in both categories) has said that science fiction readers are also looking for something political in their stories. Bujold writes character-driven sf. In fact, if you want to see romance (though not of the paranormal type) mixed with either science fiction or fantasy--try her SHARING KNIFE series (fantasy) and SHARDS OF HONOR/BARRAYAR from her Vorkosigan series (science fiction).

He's also considered one of the most important scientists of the ancient world. The ancient Greeks thought about the stars and heavens differently than we do today. They believed them to be unchanging and perfect. Aristotle believed that the Earth was geocentric, or the center of the solar system.
How did the Ancient Greeks know there were 9 planets in the solar system? In Aristotle's metaphysics he says that the Pythagoreans liked the number 10 and postulated an "anti-earth" to bump up the 9 planets of the solar system to 10.
Underlying the Greek worldview was the philosophy of Plato. He sought a deeper level of reality than that accessible to the senses. He also pursued a simple theory about the universe which had incredible explanatory power. The result was a belief in uniform, circular motion.
The Roman goddess' Greek counterpart is Gaia, from the Ancient Greek Γαῖα, a poetic form of Γῆ Gē ("land, earth"), from which English developed its geo- prefix, as in geography and geology.

Andrew Moore – Detroit Disassembled
Limited Edition 'Waiting Room With Snowdrift', 2008
Including VAT, plus Shipping
Transit time: 2 to 6 business days (worldwide)
No longer the Motor City of boom-time industry, the city of Detroit has fallen into an incredible state of dilapidation since the decline of the American auto industry after the Second World War. Today, whole sections of the city resemble a war zone, its once-spectacular architectural grandeur reduced to vacant ruins. In 'Detroit Disassembled', photographer Andrew Moore records a territory in which the ordinary flow of time-or the forward march of the assembly line-appears to have been thrown spectacularly into reverse. For Moore, who throughout his career has been drawn to all that contradicts or seems to threaten America's postwar self-image (his previous projects include portraits of Cuba and Soviet Russia), Detroit's decline affirms the carnivorousness of our earth, as it seeps into and overruns the buildings of a city that once epitomized humankind's supposed supremacy.
In Detroit Disassembled, Moore locates both dignity and tragedy in the city's decline, among postapocalyptic landscapes of windowless grand hotels, vast barren factory floors, collapsing churches, offices carpeted in velvety moss and entire blocks reclaimed by prairie grass. Beyond their jawdropping content, Moore's photographs inevitably raise the uneasy question of the long-term future of a country in which such extreme degradation can exist unchecked.
This Collector's Edition includes the book 'Detroit Disassembled' and this print signed and numbered by Andrew Moore: 'Waiting room with snowdrift', 2008, Archival inkjet prints, 12 x 15 inches. The photograph has been printed in 2010 in a limited edition of 50 copies.
Andrew Moore is best known for his large format photographs of Cuba, Russia, Times Square, Detroit, and most recently, the American High Plains. He graduated from Princeton University in 1979 where he studied with the esteemed photographer Emmet Gowin as well as the photo historian Professor Peter Bunnell. Moore's photographs are held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Yale University Art Gallery, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the George Eastman House and the Library of Congress amongst many others. His publications include Cuba (2012), Detroit Disassembled (2010), Russia; Beyond Utopia (2005), Governors Island (2004) and Inside Havana (2002). He currently teaches a graduate seminar in the MFA Photography Video and Related Media program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

This Fluffy Eggs and Bacon is an easy breakfast idea that is great for feeding a crowd or large family. Even better, it's a freezer meal!
I recently inherited a huge box of recipe cards from my grandmother in-law. I had so much fun going through the hundreds of recipes that she had accumulated over her lifetime. While I did end up tossing about 2/3rds of them (generations eat very differently from one to the next!), I did stumble on a few gems.
Take for example, this super easy Fluffy Eggs and Bacon recipe. It reminded me of our Oven Omelette but with the addition of a baking mix.
Not only was this super easy to put together, but I think it would be a great one for freezer clubs or freezer cooking parties. The ingredients are simple and will make the frugal shopper happy.
I haven't personally done this, but it would be pretty easy to swap out the bacon for cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage. Let us know if you try that and how it is!
Make sure to check out other popular breakfast recipes like our Easy Breakfast Casserole Muffins or Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal.
In a large skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Set aside and crumble it up once it has cooled.
Wipe out most of the bacon grease but use a tad of the remaining grease to saute the diced onion and bell pepper until they begin to soften.
In a large mixing bowl, add all of the ingredients, and stir until well combined.
Bake at 375 for about 35 minutes uncovered until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
To Freeze: Follow all of the directions right up until baking. Cover and freeze.
To Prepare: Let thaw in refrigerator 24 hours and then bake at 375 for about 35 minutes uncovered.
We are a family of 4, with 2 young kids who hate eggs. I'd like to bake half now in an 8×8″ pan, and freeze half before baking for a meal later. Do you think it would work to freeze the unbaked "dough" flat in a Ziploc bag to take up less room in the freezer? It would also probably thaw a lot quicker than if frozen in a dish. Thanks!


In 1908, NSU began contesting motor races on an international stage. The 1909 Prince Henry Run proved to be a great success, as did many other long-distance races and reliability rallies. In 1925, August Momberger scored a remarkable victory with a newly designed 6/60 hp racing car with supercharged six-cylinder engine at Germany's first Sports Car Grand Prix. At the 1926 event, NSU locked out the first four places in the 1500cc class, and was fifth overall.
In 1960 and 1961, the NSU Prinz II model achieved class victories in the Tour d'Europe. The company scored a third successive class win in the "Gran Premio Argentino" in 1961. But NSU was also at home in hillclimb racing. The 1962 season was a triumph for Karl-Heinz Panowitz as he became the German Touring Car Hillclimb champion in all of the classes. Just a year later, Siegfried Spiess took the German Hillclimb title, followed by him becoming the German GT Hillclimb champion in 1965, at the wheel of an NSU Prinz 1000, again in all of the classes. After this, the NSU/Wankel era began. Spiess became the German Hillclimb champion in all of the classes in the 1967 and 1968 seasons, driving an NSU/Wankel Spider. In addition, Panowitz/Strunz were the German GT Rally champions in 1966, as well as Günther Irmscher taking the overall victory in the Tour d'Europe. Altogether, six German championship titles went to NSU cars between 1961 and 1968, and on the international scene the company won no fewer than 29 touring car championships between 1962 and 1967.
NSU also celebrated successes in motorcycle racing in the early 20th century: In 1905, for instance, at the maiden "Eisenach–Berlin–Eisenach" race over 660 kilometres, where they set a road record for two-horsepower bikes. 1907 yielded the first triumph in the world's most important motorbike race, the Tourist Trophy, and 1908 yielded a speed record on the Hanover racetrack with 106 km/h. In 1910, William Streiff attracted attention by traversing the USA from San Francisco to New York – 6,300 km of unsealed roads in 28 days. A gold medal at the Tourist Trophy followed a year later.
In 1930, NSU lured the Englishman Sir William Moore to Neckarsulm as the new head designer of racing machines. Moore and the British racing driver Tom Bullus formed a formidable team, with wins from every race entered. From 1935 to 1937, the marque won more championships in Germany and Switzerland.
In 1947, NSU claimed the German championship titles in the 600cc and 1000cc supercharged sidecar categories. A year later Wilhelm Herz became German champion on a 350cc supercharged NSU motorcycle. Heiner Fleischmann was German champion in 1950. In 1953 Werner Haas took two world championship titles, in the 125cc and 250cc classes; he also won the German championship titles twice in these classes.
NSU celebrated its greatest victory in the 1954 "Tourist Trophy" (TT) on the Isle of Man. The brand won the 125cc class, and crossed the line in places 1 to 4 in the 250cc class.
That same year Haas triumphed in the 250cc world championship, with Rupert Hollaus taking the equivalent title in the 125cc class. Two German championship titles also went to Haas, in the 125cc and 250cc classes. Top honours in the 350cc class handed Hermann Paul Müller the German championship title. NSU contested 24 races and won them all. In 1955 Müller became the world's first privateer to win a world championship, on an NSU Sportmax in the 250cc class. But the brand did not only celebrate success in circuit racing: from 1955 to 1967, NSU secured 23 German off-road championship titles.
On April 12, 1951, NSU motorcycles made speed record attempts on the Munich-Ingolstadt motorway for the first time since the Second World War. Riding a streamlined NSU motorcycle, Wilhelm Herz reached 279.5 km/h and broke the record set 14 years previously by Ernst Jakob Henne on BMW. In 1956, on the Bonneville Salt Flats in the US State of Utah, Wilhelm Herz broke the absolute world record for motorcycles with a speed of 339 km/h. In 1956, NSU held every possible motorcycle world speed record.

John F. Kennedy örökmécsese az Arlingtoni Nemzeti Temetőben, az 1963. november 22-én Dallasban meggyilkolt elnök sírján áll.

Története
John Fitzgerald Kennedyt 1963. november 25-én temették el. Arlingtont felesége, Jacqueline Kennedy választotta, hogy férje sírját sokan felkereshessék. Döntéséről konzultált Robert F. Kennedyvel és Robert S. McNamara védelmi miniszterrel. Az eredeti sírhely egy lankán volt, az Arlington-ház és a Lincoln-emlékmű tengelyén. A temetésen részt vett mások mellett Charles de Gaulle francia államfő, Ludwig Erhard nyugatnémet kancellár, Fülöp edinburgh-i herceg és Hailé Szelasszié etióp császár. A temető felett a haditengerészet és a légierő ötven harci gépe húzott át, nyomukban az Air Force One-nal, amely búcsúzásként megbillegtette szárnyait. A ceremóniát a televízió egyenes adásban közvetítette, így azt több millióan követték nyomon.

A téglalap alakú sírhely rövidebb oldala 6,1, hosszabb oldala 9,1 méter volt, és fehér kerítés vette körül. A Kennedy halálát követő első évben óránként háromezer ember kereshette fel a síremléket. A becslések szerint hétvégenként 50 ezer ember fordult meg ott, és három év alatt elérte a 16 milliót a látogatók száma. A nagy tömeg miatt a temető vezetése és a Kennedy-család úgy döntött, hogy megfelelőbb helyre helyezik át a sírt. Az építkezés 1965-ben kezdődött, és 1967. július 20-án fejeződött be.

Az öröklángot, amely egy másfél méter átmérőjű gránitkő közepén ég a koporsó fejénél, Jacqueline Kennedy gyújtotta meg a temetésen. Az égőfejet a chicagói gáztechnológiai intézet (Institute of Gas Technology of Chicago) fejlesztette ki: egy fúvókából és egy elektromos szikraadóból áll, amelyek automatikusan újragyújtják a kiáramló gázt, ha a tűz valamilyen okból (esőben, szélben stb.) elalszik. A gázhoz levegőt adagolnak a láng megfelelő színének és formájának érdekében. A sírhely kialakításának költségeit (632 364 dollár) a család fizette, a szövetségi kormány pedig a környező terület rendbetételét és fejlesztését finanszírozta. A közmunkák hivatala 1,77 millió dollárt különített el erre a célra.

A sírhoz egy ellipszis formájú, alacsony gránitfallal övezet terecskén keresztül vezet az út. A falon Kennedy-idézeteket helyeztek el. A sírhelyhez innen néhány lépcső vezet. A területet szabálytalan alakú gránitlapokkal borították, amelyeket nagyjából másfél évszázaddal korábban bányásztak Cape Codon, közel ahhoz a helyhez, ahol Kennedy élt. A kövek réseibe a Massachusetts-et idéző növényeket, lóherét és csenkeszt ültettek. A sírt John Carl Warnecke tervezte, együttműködésben az Ammann and Whitney mérnökcéggel. A munkát a bostoni Aberthaw Construction Company végezte el a hadsereg virginiai mérnökeiek felügyelete alatt.

Kennedyn kívül még egy elnök, William Howard Taft nyugszik Arlingtonban. John Fitzgerald Kennedy családjának több tagját – Jacqueline Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Edward Kennedy és Joseph P. R. Kennedy, JFK legidősebb bátyja – is a nemzeti temetőben hantolták el.

Best Cities To Find A Job
Jenna Goudreau Forbes Staff
I write about business and women's leadership.
Jobless claims are again on the rise, returning last week to levels not seen since November 2009. Meanwhile, the national unemployment rate remains at a historically high 9.5%, and analysts foresee more layoffs as the economic recovery stalls. Many job seekers are desperate for the secret to beating out competition and landing those now-rare positions. The answer may be as simple as the old saying: location, location, location.
Job-search site Juju.com compiled a ranking of the best cities in the U.S. to find a job. The researchers compared the number of job seekers in each of the largest 50 cities in the country, provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), with the number of job openings per city from its comprehensive database. The result? A pocket guide to an increasingly complicated market.
10 Best Cities To Find A Job
Coming in at No. 1, Washington, D.C., is the best place in the country to secure a job. The city's unemployment rate (6.4%) is lower than the national average, and the plethora of public sector jobs insulate it against the weak private economy. With 1.18 candidates for each opening, the odds of landing a job here are in your favor. Juju.com Vice President Brendan Cruickshank believes D.C. takes the top slot largely because local government and private defense companies there have been less likely to hold layoffs. Cruickshank also notes that the nation's capital hosts solid growth industries like health care and education, which are hiring.
It turns out that government hubs are a great bet for those on the job hunt. Half of the cities on the top-10 list are state capitals, including Hartford, Boston, Oklahoma City, Salt Lake City and Austin. "Outside of California, state capitals have government jobs that stabilize the market," says Cruickshank. Because of budget cuts, California's capital, Sacramento, is one of the worst cities on the list to find a job, with 5.5 candidates for every opening.
Cities that house high-tech companies also fared well. San Jose, Calif., came in at No. 2, with just 1.23 applications for every job. Facebook and Google , two of the biggest and most influential online companies, are located near this West Coast city and are driving its growth. Similarly, Seattle, Wash., placed at No. 13. Microsoft headquarters in nearby Redmond likely contributes to its low ratio of 2.8 job seekers per opening.
The ranking also revealed a few cities that hopeful candidates may want to avoid. Miami, Fla., is the worst destination to find a job. There are 9.41 people for each opening in this economy of hard-hit manufacturing and travel industries. Plus, still suffering from a lack of job diversity and shuttered factories, there are 8.67 candidates for each opening in Detroit, Mich., and 7.76 per job in Las Vegas, Nev.
There is, however, some good news for those job hunters living in cities at the bottom of the list. Juju.com has analyzed these numbers every month since October of last year and reports that the overall job climate appears to be improving. Last December, for example, there were almost 21 candidates per job in Detroit, compared with approximately nine now. In fact, the national average has dropped in half from 6.6 people per position in October 2009 to a more typical 3.3 per job opening this month.

In both my climbs, September 2010 and September 2011, the only mobile service available at Laban Rata Resthouse was Maxis. There was no signal from other service providers at Laban Rata.
For summit, there was no signal above Sayat Sayat which is the last check point before reaching summit's plateau. Therefore, at summit, i.e. the plateau near Donkey Ears, South peak, Low's peak, etc. there was no mobile phone reception.
You can bring along your phone charger to Laban Rata. There is electricity.
In Laban Rata Rest House, the main building, electricity is not stable and all electricity shut off after, if I remember correctly, 7.00 pm.
However, for other lodging huts around Laban Rata Rest House, i.e. Panar Laban, Waras Hut, Burlington Hut, Gunting Lagadan Hut, etc. you are in control of the electric switches. The electricity here is more stable.
