Quinno _ left this review about The Ship
A surprisingly traditional Fullers pub which has swerved the excesses of their refurb department, probably helped by its positioning as a halfway house between Borough and the E&C. Entrances at both ends of a long narrow room which has 3/4 length wood panelling, Wedgwood green uppers, varnished wood floor and nautical paraphernalia – an inter-war feel, as noted elsewhere. The main entrance exterior has lovely green tiling, square leaded windows and some nice hanging baskets. I spotted a dart board, again a bit rare round these parts and attests to it being a local, rather than an office workers, haunt. Five pumps at the bar with Pride, ESB, Seafarers, Red Fox (fair) and Dark Star Revelation (excellent shape). There was a nice relaxed atmosphere and it was an enjoyable stop – one to know about if you're in the area.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Ship
Good Fullers pub, with more of a local feel than some of the after-work establishments closer to London Bridge station. Generally rectangular bar, albeit having a frontage angled to the street. Slightly austere interior with dark furniture, 3/4-height wood-panelling and upper paintwork. Pride, Seafarers, ESB and Quintessentially Pale Ale (£3.90) available from the five handpumps on this visit. Old-fashioned, but in an upmarket kind of way.

One of those annoying places that could be nice. However, the barman here was busy talking to his friends and totally ignored people who actually wanted to drink here. I hope he enjoys the beer here, I don't know what its like, after a few minutes I just left
Malden man left this review about The Ship
This is an attractive looking street corner Fullers house, accessible both front and rear, with well preserved green exterior tiling and colourful hanging baskets, giving a welcoming feel especially as I had traipsed from Waterloo along The Cut and Union St finding some of my other intended watering holes closed along the way. The external impressions are reinforced within, it is a clean and tidy place, well looked after, polished wooden floor, three quarter height wooden panelling and a wooden bar counter with exposed grain, looked like walnut to me. I'd say the pub retains many aspects of a 1930s fit out, but the yellow stock brick exterior and Georgian style windows date the building earlier for me, 1880s probably.
The Ship theme is maintained within the pub with numerous nautical prints plus clocks and gauges mounted on a wall behind the bar, there are candles on the window cills, some set within ship's lanterns. Seating is mixed, there are a few high tables at the front entrance, but standard issue and a run of banquettes elsewhere. There are a few small round copper topped tables which remind me of my formative drinking days.
I went for the ESB, served properly in its trademark goblet and at a refreshing price for Fullers of £3.65. The food looked decent value too with the burger, gherkin and chips at £8.95 and sarnies between £5.50 and £6.95, clipboard menus on the tables. You are at the far end of Borough/London Bridge here, bordering on Elephant and Castle so I suppose the prices reflect the predominantly local trade.
Two TVs were showing early 90s cricket reruns on Sky, muted, the low level dance track music was a minor irritant. More traditional entertainment is available thanks to the dartboard by the back door. Clearly dog friendly, there were three hounds in although it amused me that the woman with the prissy Yorkie had to pick it up and shove it in her bag when a larger staffy type came in and started to bother it somewhat.
There is some outdoor seating to the side and an upstairs function room available for hire which remains unvisited by myself.
I liked it in here, the service was good, a proper local feel and a good well kept and keenly priced drop of my favourite Fullers beer.

Located at the southern end of Borough High Street, just a short walk from Borough tube station, the Ship is a tidy, street corner Fuller's house. From the outside, the place is certainly an attractive proposition with smart exterior tiling and colourful hanging baskets combining to create an appealing look. Inside, things are a bit more standard, with a bare wooden board room with high dark wood panels describing an unusual shape caused by the pub's corner position. You enter into a mixed seating area with the servery on the far wall extending through a narrow space with room for a couple of high tables before things open out again beyond the bar where more seats are available, as is a darts area. Various pictures of the local area are on display and a vague ship theme emerges behind the bar where a number of nautical implements can be found, including clocks, meters and gauges. A couple of TV screens were showing some Premier League football and there was a big stack of board games in one of the front window sills, which didn't seem to be enough for one lady who was most upset that Scrabble wasn't included in the pile. There is a function room upstairs and a decent patio area with some picnic benches.
Just the three Fuller's ales on the bar – London Pride, ESB and Chiswick, but Oakham JHB was also on as a guest and my pint was in fine shape and slipped down nicely. The bar staff were friendly enough and seemed to have a good rapport with some of their regulars.
Whilst there is nothing particularly out of the ordinary about this pub, it seems to be doing all of the basics well and I was glad to find a well kept pint awaiting me. There are a few good pubs in the Borough area that might merit investigation ahead of this place, but if you're touring the area, this is a solid addition to any crawl.

Open early which is always handy. Traditional and welcoming and has some interesting prints of old London on the walls.
Steve of N21 left this review about The Ship
The Ship is a very decent Fullers pub and is a sight for sore eyes when escaping from the E&C heading north. Externally the dark green tiled, lead lined windowed exterior is festooned with hanging baskets. And internally it is a one long bar pub with a pleasant wood panelled traditional pub decor with a decent collection of nautical artefacts and pictures on the walls. There are two flat screen teles at either end of the bar, which were showing the two Europa League games with Fulham and Liverpool with the sound muted, so you could enjoy the footy but not have it intrude into your conversation. And there is an alcove at the far end of the pub which contains a dartboard. There is a function room upstairs and apparently a garden area also.
The bar supports five hand pumps dispensing most of the Fullers range and the Pride was perfectly fine.
We did experience some issues with the service, but this was a small moan and all in all The Ship is a good solid traditional pub and long may it remain so.

Rex Rattus left this review about The Ship
The entire Fuller's range was on, with the exception of Gale's Seafarer. The Chiswick was on good form, and at a pretty reasonable £2.60 a pint. This is quite an attractive pub, both inside and out – I think well tended hanging baskets always give a pub an attractive look. It looks like a classic inter-war pub to me. Gone are the original partitions between the different rooms that would undoubtedly have been there at some time in the past, but the bar counter and wood panelled walls certainly appear to be the real deal. There are some of those high stool and tables that I quite dislike, but there are a number of normal tables and chairs round the sides. The barmaid was friendly enough without being chatty. The menu was fairly standard pub grub (nothing wrong with that) at reasonable prices. I didn't eat there so can't say any more than that about the food. There was a TV on, but muted, showing Sky Sports. The decor on the walls, consisting of prints and miscellaneous artifacts was, as you would expect, entirely of a nautical nature. There is also a functional dartboard at the back, being used when I was in there.
So, we have a clean, comfortable and welcoming pub doing decent Fuller's ales. You wouldn't travel from the other side of London just to visit it, but it's definitely worth dropping in for a pint if you're in the area.
Steve C left this review about The Ship
This is a decent Fullers pub that had four of their ales on the five hand pumps during my visit. There was also a large standard draught selection alongside Staropramen and the barman that served me was very friendly. The pub seemed to be well kept and clean, but there were a couple of fruit flies buzzing around my pint which was a little irritating.
There are a couple of plasma screens that show Sky Sports, but these were both off as no events were on so there was some inoffensive background music playing. There is a dartboard at the end of the long thin bar and there is also a function room upstairs that is available for hire and also hosts a comedy night every other Friday evening.
The food menus behind the bar advertised sandwiches and pies and I laughed when I read the sign saying 'selection of foreign bottled beers' with Leffe, Heineken and Budweiser sitting above it.
I'm a big fan of Fullers pubs and I thought that this one was above average and I would have no hesitation in returning.

Motorcycle adventurer Charley Boorman leads this Australia Motorcycle Tour of stunning Tasmania and the Victoria Highcountry. Charley's good mate and manager Billy Ward will be along to add to the experience. The adventure starts with an overnight ferry crossing from Melbourne to Tasmania. Once in Tasmania we ride east toward the spectacular Freycinet National Park and Coles Bay. Riding south we will reach the historical Port Arthur before visiting Hobart and then continuing on through the pristine forests of the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park on our way to the stunning Strahan. Crossing the Tasman back into Victoria the ride ventures into the Victorian High Country entering Kosciusko National Park in NSW before riding down onto the coast and riding north finishing in Sydney.
Joining Day: We will meet in Melbourne mid afternoon for our tour briefing, before riding to Station Street Pier, Port Melbourne where we will catch the overnight ferry to Devonport, Tasmania.
Day 1: Tasmania is blessed with some of the finest most scenic riding in Australia and the ride from Devonport to St Helens is no different. We ride south to Launceston before turning northwest and up and over the Weldborough Pass. Remote pubs empty roads and stunning scenery is a feature on this day. We will overnight in St. Helen's.
Day 2: We ride the east coast today through the beautiful Freycinet National Park and onto the Forestier Peninsula and the historic, and some say haunted, Port Arthur for the night.
Day 3: We ride the 95 km / 59 mi to Hobart and keep going. We turn due south to experience the wonderful riding to be had on the Channel Highway as it twists and turns on its way south to the wonderfully named Snug and Cygnet where we get great views of the D'entrecasteaux Channel before returning to Hobart for the night.
Day 4: Today's riding is spectacular as we visit Russell Falls, Tasmania's most famous; shrouded in ferns these falls are located within the Mt Field National Park and offer some spectacular short walks amongst the towering Huon Pine. The ride continues through the legendary Franklin Gordon Wild Rivers National Park before arriving at the stunningly beautiful Strahan, on the shores of the Scenic Macquarie Harbour. We will spend two nights in Strahan.
Day 5: A free day today in this small village, voted as the best little town in the world by the Chicago Tribune. There are many things we can do in Strahan, including cruising the incredible Gordon River (optional) or a flight (optional) over the pristine forests declared a world heritage wilderness area.
Day 6: We turn north and ride the scenic Murchison Highway before turning off and visiting the beautiful Cradle Mountain inside the Cradle Mountain / Lake St Clair National Park. The wonderful riding continues on until we reach Devonport where we catch the overnight ferry back to Melbourne.
Day 7: Riding out of Melbourne we tackle the legendary Black Spur, a series of tight hairpin bends though towering forests of Mountain Ash on our way to Lake Eildon National Park which connects the towns of Eildon and Jamieson. These roads are a biker's paradise, however the area also has abundant wildlife. Our overnight stop is Mansfield.
Day 8: Riding north east to Whitfield we are in the scenic King River Valley where lush river flats are surrounded by the magnificent high country. In Myrtleford we join the Great Alpine Road and ride onto Bright. Crossing into NSW we ride onto one of Australia's most spectacular National Parks, Kosciusko NP. Our overnight stop is Jindabyne.
Day 9: The ride today takes us out of the mountains via the very steep Brown Mountain Pass through the scenic South East Forests National Park. We enter lush dairy country as we ride on to Bega and then onto the Princess Highway up to Batemans Bay, scenically located on the shores of the Tasman Sea, for our overnight stop.
Day 10: We follow the dramatic coastline all the way to Sydney via the Royal National Park. We finish this epic ride of mountains, forests and wild rivers in one of the world's most iconic cities, Sydney.
Departure day: Spend some time in Sydney or fly home, the choice is yours.
100% of this ride is paved; this pavement can vary from great well maintained roads to a series of potholes connected by a thin ribbon of asphalt. This ride features numerous twisties and narrow country lanes.
There is an option for off road sections; these sections are generally hard packed gravel that can be at times loose and rutted along with small sections of sand. A small number of shallow creek crossings may be encountered.
We can experience the full range of weather conditions on this ride. Generally it will be warm to hot for most of this ride, with cooler conditions expected in Tasmania. During March Australia can experience extreme heat conditions and it is important that riders keep hydrated.
There is a chance that we may experience some rain, a rain jacket similar to a DriRider© is recommended.
Our accommodations range from small family run hotels through to 4 star hotels, 2 night are on the Spirit of Tasmania ferry.
A flexible attitude is needed, as services in remote regions of Australia may be not what you are accustomed to.
Seat height 86cm (34In) Approx.
This tour was an amazing adventure! I absolutely had a fantastic time and made some great new friends. The group as a whole were just a wonderful bunch of folks that got along excellent during the entire tour. I hope to be on another one of your tours in the future. Kudos to you and your staff for a job well done!
The excellent staff, continual watchfulness, attention and respect for the riders. A great experience, I will certainly book again with Compass.


However, for bedding, the other type of cloth that covers us, the rule changes. Except those single-colour-boring-beddings, our bed is more or less like the girl's shown in the pic below. Look, her body is covered by the decoration-free side of quilt and decorated side of bed sheet, and her half face is sinking in the pillow, decorated side. Anything wrong? Probably no, but are you sure this is the most comfortable way to sleep?
Believe or not, pillow filler and mattress are more comfortable than us when we sleep. They are fully covered, while we sleep at the outside of them: well-dressed, comfortable pillow filler and mattress. Look back to the girl. Except the lucky part of body inside the quilt, she is totally exposed, touches the outside of fully covered mattress and pillow filler.
We chose the wrong side for 28 years. Today, we turned our bed sheet and pillow case inside-out and had the best sleep we've ever had.


Saskatchewan believes there is a better way, and advocates placing real emphasis on developing transformational clean technology for use in Canada and around the world.
This would apply attainment of leadership status in some technological option which much of the rest of the world actually wants. It should be abundantly clear by now that coal with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology does not meet that criterion – and that it is difficult to describe the Boundary Dam 3 experiment even as moderately successful, let alone transformational.
Meanwhile, Saskatchewan has missed out on the opportunities which other jurisdictions have seen in efficiency, in solar, wind and sustainable biomass, in development of new batteries and in electric vehicles. Under the present government's climate policies, the province falls far behind its global partners and competitors when it comes to transformational clean technology.
Other jurisdictions anticipated the problems – and in particular the inflated cost – of coal + CCS, and they put their attention and their money elsewhere. And things have worked out rather well for Danish and German exporters of wind technology, German and Chinese photovoltaics manufacturers, and many others.
If the provincial government means what it says, why can't we join them in pursuing technological developments which are truly transformational and truly clean? Work is still needed on next-generation biomass gasification and pyrolysis technology, on smart-grid integration, on new battery types, on infrastructure development for electric vehicles. Maybe Saskatchewan's expensive experimentation with CCS could be put to good use in research into carbon-negative BECCS (biomass energy with CCS). Maybe the oil industry's experience with deep drilling would enable development of cost-effective geothermal energy – in more geologically suitable areas if not in Saskatchewan. Maybe we could become leaders in reclaiming methane instead of leaking, venting and flaring it.
But we also need to recognise that – helpful though it may be – technology is not enough to get us out of this crisis. What will ultimately save us is a shift of awareness, so that we recognize the planet as a living system of which we are part, not a store to be aggressively plundered.

In Brief: Ghostbusters (2016)
"Ghostbusters can be best described as Bridesmaids with proton packs"
by	Ross Miller	19/07/2016
Welcome to the first edition of In Brief, a new experiment of mine where I briefly discuss a film, TV show or a game of my choice in 500 words (give or take). Don't confuse this with a review. I'm not here to hand out a score or to convince you to buy anything. In Brief is where I will express my opinion. It is here where you will find me praising the media or insulting it. So without further ado…
As many of you have already witnessed the trailers for the new Ghostbusters film did nothing but validate the immature, chauvinistic loudmouths of the Internet. I won't pretend the trailers convinced me to see it but the negativity surrounding Ghostbusters definitely played its part. You'll be glad to know that the trailers haven't shown off all the big money shots. In fact, when you revisit the promotional videos you'll start spotting scenes and dialogue that weren't in the cinematic cut (fingers crossed for an Extended Cut on Blu-ray). So my advice is to ignore all of the marketing because it's doing the opposite of its intended purpose.
Ghostbusters isn't a sequel to the 1984 film. It's a modern interpretation of the original but with enough changes that it feels different. I would describe the new Ghostbusters as what The Force Awakens was to A New Hope; similar but charismatically separate. Ghostbusters can be best described as Bridesmaids with proton packs and that's a characteristic of the new film that wasn't conveyed strongly enough in the trailers.
I thought the semi-improvised acting was one of the best things to come out of the new film. It feels exhausting at times as some of the jokes feel like they're trailing on but at least the conversations are natural, funny and leave you feeling slightly uncomfortable. Most of the gags shown in the trailers will fall flat on their face but Ghostbusters is full of untouched material to enjoy.
Kate McKinnon portrays Dr. Jillian Holtzmann. She's responsible for crafting all of the weapons. She's definitely the star of the show. That's not to discredit what Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig or Leslie Jones brings to the table but Holtzmann oozed with personality. She's hot, she's butch and she's wacky. She may or may not be gay but it's honestly not important, and why should it be? Heterosexual characters are never 'outed' and none of the new Ghostbusters have romantic sub plots anyway, so I'm glad it wasn't a part of her that had to be aired out to dry. I love Holtzmann, is what I'm saying.
Chris Hemsworth's character was by far the worst. Great performance but he grated on me for most of the time. All you need to know is he's a fucking idiot with muscles.
The new theme isn't so new after all. Ghostbusters opens with the original and the new Fallout Boy version ft. Missy Elliot works in context. And be honest with yourself, after a couple of listens it grows on you.
In brief: Ghostbusters strikes a perfect balance of Horror and Comedy. It's a brilliant re-imagining with maximum attitude and minimum flaws (an all-female team not being one of them).

Nermine Khouzam Rubin
Nermine is passionate about creating a permanent solution to the water crisis in Africa. It was her 21-year-old daughter Samantha who opened her eyes in the summer of 2014 when she volunteered at Upendo Orphanagein Moshi, Tanzania. The extended stay showed how even 'city dwellers' in African third world countries often do 'without' and lack basic needs most of us take for granted.
Recently in 2017 on her fourth visit to Tanzania and visiting the families of the Uhuru Watoto students she sponsors in the Archdiocese of Dodoma Region of Tanzania,, Nermine saw firsthand the dire, desperate conditions, and especially the lack of water in remote areas of Africa. She was determined to find a long-term and sustainable solution to quench their thirst, while also provide a means for the villagers to gain financial independence.
Walking in Central Park in NYC in the fall of 2016, she met author Seth Siegel, a friend of Arthur Rubin, her step-son. In early 2017, she received a gift at the Florida Holocaust Museum Gala; the New York Times Best Seller book book "Let There Be Water:Israel's Solution for a Water-Starved World"by Seth Siegel. After returning with Samantha from Africa later that year, Nermine was inspired to read the book describing Israel's advanced and innovative water technologies including Drip Irrigation, a method used for optimal agriculture outcomes.
Further reading led to the discovery of Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) innovation: Africa (iA)founded by Sivan Ya'ari in Tel Aviv, Israel. iA implements Israel's advanced solar energy and water technology in third-world countries in Africa. In the past ten years, iA has brought Israeli solar, agricultural and water technologies to over 170 projects in 8 African nations and each project is tracked in real time, thanks to iA's remote monitoring technology. Moreover, iA's proven solution is a means for the villagers to gain financial independence and self-sufficiency by growing their food sources and selling the surplus at market.
Devoting many hours, weeks and months to prayerful discernment while investing time for research, Nermine created Water4Mercyin the Spring of 2018. Nermine and Sivan met and discussed the mutual benefits of a collaborative partnership, each sharing the same vision: "Tikkun Olam," meaning "Repair the World" in Hebrew.
A devout Catholic, Nermine felt compelled to continue driving her nine-year-old car a few more years, rather than spend the saved $50,000 earmarked for her new vehicle.
Instead, she's choosing to fund a water well, that is being installed in a village in Dodoma, Tanzania. Her parents and her parish (St. Michael The Archangel Church, Clearwater, FL) added $11,000 to the project.
Nermine also asked Bishop Gregory Parkes and the Diocese of St. Petersburg to help. A meeting was arranged in April 2018, when Archbishop Beatus Kinyaiya of the Archdiocese of Dodoma, Tanzania was visiting the United States. Bishop Parkes is supportive and is committing funds which will be sent to the Archdiocese of Dodoma, explicitly earmarked for Water4mercy projects. Nermine hopes that Water4mercy will expand and lead to a collaboration of like-minded organizations working together and sharing resources to better our world.
Originally from Africa and born in Port Said, Egypt, Nermine is the youngest of five children. She graduated from the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida earning two Master Degrees in Business Administration (MBA) and Healthcare Science (MHS) in 1986. She lives in Clearwater, Florida with her Jewish husband, Les Rubin. Together they have two children - Samantha and Nathan (20 yrs) - both students at the University of Florida. Three stepchildren (Les' children from a previous marriage) Arthur, Eric, and Tracie Mears Rubin reside in New York, Washington DC and Colorado, respectively with their families.
Water 4 Mercy is a 501(c)(3) and relies on your generous gifts to continue reaching people who are dying of thirst and hunger in Africa.

The holy land of Jerusalem, whose Old City is home to some of the most important sites in the histories of many major religions, can be visited during a Middle East cruise that ports in Haifa, Israel (which itself is a great port of call). Jerusalem is about 80 miles from Haifa, but is well worth the ride! Among the many attractions that one can visit while in Jerusalem are The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Mount of Olives, the Western Wall and Dome of the Rock.
One of the most popular tourist attractions in all of the Middle East is the Great Pyramid of Giza, located nearby Cairo, Egypt. It's one of the "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World" and is right by a couple of other ancient pyramids, as well as the Great Sphinx of Giza (another famous attraction, that's a huge statue of a lion's body with a human head). Most Middle East cruises that port in Egypt feature shore excursions to this amazing area of interest.
The ultra-modern city of Dubai, located in the United Arab Emirates, is home to the world's second-largest made-man marina and one of the most impressive (and contemporary) skylines in the world. While on a Middle East cruise that includes Dubai, you'll be able to enjoy upscale dining and shopping, as well as great beaches with various water sports. Home to some of the most luxurious hotels in the world (including Burj Al Arab), those taking a cruise that departs from Dubai might want to consider staying there a few nights prior to the cruise to really have an opportunity to treat themselves.

Discussion in 'Long Range Hunting & Shooting' started by Slim13, Jul 4, 2018.
Need some ideas on an alternatives to Berger VLD's and Nosler Accubond LR's since both seem to be unobtainable. I have 500 of the 140 hunting VLD's on the way whenever Midsouth gets them back in stock but I have an early season rifle Anterless-Elk hunt coming up August 1st. Does anyone have a suggestion For an alternative that's actually available?
140 Nosler Accubond. It'll do whatever you need.
Hornady seems to stay in stock and are usually on sale often at midway. I got 1000 140 eldm for $300 shipped the other day.
mobenzowner and 257Tony like this.
Sportsman Warehouse had some 6.5 Nosler LR Accubonds 142gr in stock at my local store.
If your plan is to shoot inside 800, then the 140gr Accubond will do all you need.
This is what I started with way back when they first appeared for serious long range hunting. Prior to this I was banging steel at 800 with the 140gr BT's, didn't take any game beyond around 680 with them, and they performed very well at that distance on small fallow deer.
I have used the 142gr ABLR quite successfully now, it performs better for me than Bergers do.
I have switched all but one of my 6.5's from 140 vld's To 143 eldx.
Bought some 140 accubonds online. Shots on this hunt should top out around 500.
Short case you're awesome. Thanks for the generous offer!
The Hornady Interbond is back in Production and is an awfully hard bullet to beat performance wise.
After decades of shooting everything else when the interbonds became unobtainable I was pretty desperate. I started shooting the Peregrine VRG and VLR's when I was in Africa in 2015 and after 3 years of shooting hundreds of critters with them in the .260's and .264wm I pretty well won't shoot anything else.
They hit like a truck, never fail to expand and can never overexpand or blowup. I ran out of them for a while at the end of last season and went back to the interbonds until I could get the next shipment in and remembered why that was my go to bullet for a couple of decades. Fortunately I just got a shipment of a couple of hundred of the VLR 4's and 5's so I am probably set up for the next couple of years but if I do run out, I also have plenty of Interbonds as a backup.
+1 in 140JLK VLD's. Over 50 game animals taken, with superb accuracy and performance on game.
Nosler 125 Partition or 140 Speer/Sierra, etc.
For your yardage needs the 130g Sledge Hammer will handle everything you need.

After all the packaged yeast has run dry, the ability to make your own yeast will give you a huge advantage in a post-SHTF world. Plus, who wants to live in a world without bread or beer?
Yeast is technically classified as a fungus (gross!). There are over 1,500 different species of yeast, but we're interested in the one with the power to transform carbs into carbon dioxide and alcohols.
The live yeast used for leavening makes bread rise and imbues it with that fluffiness we all love. The dead yeast used in baking encourages the fermentation of vegetables and fruits into alcohol.
*Baker's yeast and brewer's yeast cannot be used interchangeably.
When the yeast "eats" the sugar, its byproducts are alcohol and carbon dioxide (in different proportions depending on the particular strain). Baker's yeast is obviously made from strains that produce more carbon dioxide and less alcohol, vise versa for brewer's yeast.
Keep reading to learn 5 different methods of creating your own baker's yeast.
There are multiple ways you can make baker's yeast, but this is probably the easiest. Potatoes are easy to find and can be used to make a yeast that is perfect for baking bread. Plus, this type is yeast can also be stored as a "starter," so you won't have to start from scratch every time.
Cook your potatoes normally, but save 3 cups of water when they're done. Pour that water equally into two bowls. Mix 1 tbsp. sugar and 1 cup flour into one of the bowls. Stir until the mixture feels stiff.
Cover the mixture and leave it in a warm place overnight. If it looks bubbly and smells like yeast the next morning, you're ready to go. If not, try again with the other bowl of water.
Mix your ingredients in a bowl or jar and cover loosely. Let it sit at room temperature for about 24 hours. Make sure not to cover it to tightly. The carbon dioxide being released can crack jars and blow off lids.
Leave the mixture in the fridge for 3-4 days. On the fourth day, feed the mixture another 3 tbsp. instant potato flakes, ½ cup sugar, and 1 cup water.
Next, let it sit in room temperature for another 24 hours. You can now take 1 cup of "starter" out of the mixture and use the rest to bake.
Feed your "starter" yeast with another 3 tbsp. instant potato flakes, ½ cup sugar, and 1 cup water. You will need to remove 1 cup of "starter" and feed the yeast once per day if you leave it in room temperature – or every 4 days if it's in the fridge.
This method is similar to the first, but uses an entire potato. Start by boiling the potato (leave the skin on). Mash it well and stir in 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. sugar.
When the mixture is barely warm, add in 4 cups of water. Cover the mixture and set in a warm place. If the mixture fails to ferment in a day or 2, you can always add a packet of dried yeast (or start over).
This is the old, traditional method that has been used to make yeast for hundreds of years. Yeast is present in all grains. Freshly-ground grain is the best, but you can also use regular all-purpose flour (unbleached) if you don't have the fresh stuff on hand.
Mix 1 ¼ cups flour (white or wheat) with 1 cup warm water. Pour the mixture into a jar, cover, and set in a warm place until the mixture starts to rise and bubble (will take between 1 and 7 days depending on temperature and humidity).
Remove 1 cup of "starter" per loaf of bread and add back in equal amounts of flour and water.
Grapes are an easy fruit to use in making yeast, but you can really use almost any fruit as long as it's organic and unwashed. Fruit peels and organic unpasteurized juices work too.
Mash the grapes (I'll leave it up to you whether or not you want to use your feet!) in a bowl and cover with a coffee filter or cheesecloth. Let it sit in a warm place for 3 days. When you see bubbles, you know the yeast is growing.
On the fourth or fifth day, strain the mixture. Discard pulp and peels.
Take out 2 cups (enough for 2 loaves) and leave 1 cup behind as a "starter." Feed the "starter" with another 1 cup each of water and flour. Leave the mixture alone for 24 hours before taking any more out.
As long as you always leave 1 cup behind and remember to feed your yeast, you'll always have a "starter" ready to go.
Make sure all equipment you're using is sterile. Stray bacteria can ruin your yeast.
Using too much salt will dry out the yeast.
Never put "starter" or yeast in a compost pile. The bacteria can grow out of control.
When feeding your "starter," throw away 1 cup of the original "starter" to keep ratios even.

Q: Update database by script or session? I have function in php, where I update a database. I have url something like http://localhost/products/feed/update
How can I update database every 15 minutes? It is better script or session or how to do this?

A: The best is a cron (or a scheduled task on windows).
The good question is also: do you really NEED the database to be updated every 15 minutes?
Can't you just check the last update timestamp upon request, and update it once for every 15 minutes that passed? That's often the simplest solution.

A: Do you need it to be PHP script?
You could have stored procedure run by event every 15 mins.
For example in MySQL:

So we stayed at KIP hotel Kuala Lumpur. It's this new hip and modern hotel located in the heart of Sri Utara, Kuala Lumpur. If you're not familiar with the area, nearest landmark would be Batu Caves.
We arrived at about almost 12 noon. Easy parking space so we parked right in front of the hotel's main entrance. Upon entering, I couldn't help but notice the beautiful timber finish textures in the lobby. We were greeted by the warm friendly staff at the reception and had lunch before going up to our suite!
The beautiful timber panel details in the lobby.
Hubby tried the Nasik Lemak special and I went with Char Kuey Tiaw. Both dishes were delicious! The waiters were very attentive and friendly. High chair for babies also provided.
We took the lift up to the 12th floor to get to our room. It would be almost impossible to ignore the bold interior details along the way up. Every detail was designed to suit it's purpose and added that extra touch to the hotel design.
The bathroom was super spacious, which included two art basins, shower booth, one toilet and of course complete with toiletries as well as a hairdryer.
We didn't really feel like going out so we called room service. Hubby ordered Salmon Ala Crust and I ordered good 'ol fish and chips. The portion was reasonable and both dishes were good!
After having breakfast the next morning, we walked around the hotel with the kids. On the sixth floor there is a lounge area called @atSix. It's a laid-back lounge area with colourful bean bags and blocks to play with/relax and have a chat. The kids had fun moving the blocks and jumping from one bean bag to the other(me and hubby got carried away too!;P) You can simply head down to the infinity swimming pool just a floor below via the staircase on the right side of the lounge area.
The infinity pool was really tempting but the kids weren't in the best of health to jump in so we decided to just enjoy the view instead. Will definitely dive in the next time we stay there!
We had a splendid time at Kip hotel. Thank you for the hospitality and great service! Till then, xoxo!


Ann and Dan live in the Boston area. At the time of their Feng Shui consultation, Ann was working in a high tech company. Dan is a physician. Ann wanted to use Feng Shui to create new directions in their lives since their children were finishing college and moving away.
Their goal was to create a warm, welcoming space for themselves, their family and their friends with rooms that felt uncluttered but cozy. They wanted to spend more time together sharing interests and adventures. Ann wanted to explore new financial horizons or a new career.
Their house had constricted energy so a major focus of our work together focused on opening up chi flow throughout the house. We concentrated especially on the entries, the living room and their studies.
Balancing their elements: We identified and harmonized Ann and Dan's individual elements in their shared spaces. In their studies, each needed her/his own elements enhanced.
Bagua positions of Helpful Friends, Prosperity (Self Empowerment) and Self (Career) were emphasized.
Balancing yin and yang The house had many straight lines, hard surfaces and bright white walls. We focused on ways to create yin (softening) through the use of throw pillows, curtains and warm-toned walls.
To make the house more welcoming, the front door was repaired so that it didn't stick. As the mouth of chi to the entire house, the door's easy opening and closing drew chi into the house more successfully. A small fountain was placed in the hallway to keep the chi moving. Then, the front entry and hallway were redecorated to make them more appealing to visitors.
Drawing people into the living room was accomplished by heightening the shared elements of Fire and Earth in the entry, pictured in this photograph.
Ann and Dan's studies were decluttered, reorganized and redecorated with functional, comfortable furniture. Warm-toned paint and carpets chosen to enhance their individual elements made both rooms practical and cozy.
The relationship corner in their bedroom was enhanced by moving the clothes hamper to another location. In its place, we put an attractive cabinet to hold treasured items.
The childrens' rooms were updated to meet their adult needs and tastes as frequent out-of-town visitors.
From Ann; "I feel that using Feng Shui principles played a significant role in making a major life transition fun. Our empty nest feels full again with shared interests, friends, travel and visits with our children. I found a new way to earn money and left my job. Now I can focus full-time on things that matter to me.

"As an organization, we believe deeply in the power of accelerator programs to create and nurture a climate of innovation in the legal market. Each year, we are increasingly impressed by the depth and quality of applicants to our program."
"The legal tech world is relatively small compared to other tech specialties.

"I was exposed to so much information during my six weeks in the LexisNexis Legal Tech Accelerator, ranging from sales and marketing advice to fundraising and pitching strategies."

Tools: Access to cutting-edge tools and technologies from LexisNexis and Lex Machina

Connections: Leverage relationships with Stanford and other Bay-Area schools, businesses, VCs and other influencers
Workspace: Space for up to four people inside the exciting Lex Machina offices in Menlo Park, CA or in the LexisNexis Raleigh Technology Center on the North Carolina State University Centennial Campus
Legal Tech Accelerator participants will also have access to cutting-edge tools and technologies from LexisNexis and will be able to leverage the company's established relationships with Stanford University, North Carolina State University, Silicon Valley businesses, VCs and influencers to grow their organizations.
"Lex Machina has deep roots in Silicon Valley and LexisNexis is deeply connected in North Carolina's Research Triangle", noted Josh Becker, CEO of Lex Machina. "Being actively involved in Stanford University's CODEX program, and having started as a special interest project at Stanford before spinning off as a start-up, we know first-hand the struggles that legal tech start-ups go through. The goal of our program is to directly address the unique market challenges of launching a company in the legal market."
Launch of the LexisNexis Legal Tech Accelerator complements a recent announcement by LexisNexis of its support for the Duke Law Tech Lab. LexisNexis and the Duke Center on Law & Tech are working to develop complementary programs that catalyze new legal tech companies and enhance access to legal services. Together, we hope to foster community and connections among legal tech entrepreneurs and leaders and amplify innovation for not only the companies directly involved, but also for the larger legal ecosystem.
Jointly, LexisNexis and the Duke Center on Law & Tech see both accelerator programs as part of a broad and growing ecosystem of support for legal tech companies at all stages in their development. As such, the Duke Law Tech Lab and the LexisNexis Legal Tech accelerator both help selected companies navigate the legal tech start-up environment and find the paths that are right for each individual team. More information about that partnership can be found here.
For more information, or to apply to the LexisNexis Legal Tech Accelerator program, interested parties can find more here . The deadline for applicants is August 9, 2019.

What's the "Ticker Symbol of Amazon's Landlord?"
by Travis Johnson, Stock Gumshoe | November 12, 2020 2:40 pm
Oxford Income Letter teases that "we're revealing a stock that OWNS Amazon warehouse real estate... and it trades for around $30."
There was a new teaser email from the Oxford Income Letter folks this morning that caught my eye… and in these tumultuous days, when I don't really feel like doing any trading around these short-term gyrations caused by pandemic panic and political pandering, I confess to being extra-interested in relatively stable dividend-paying investments. So let's dig in and see what this one is, shall we?
Here's the intro to the email I received today:
"Amazon has been one of the BEST-performing stocks during the pandemic.
"Its price has more than doubled to around $3,200, creating a massive wave of wealth for shareholders.
"Unfortunately, that price puts it out of reach of most regular investors."
That's not really true, though it can certainly feel that way sometimes. Many investors are still focused on the old rules that required buying 100-share "round lots" of shares through full-service brokers, but those rules have gradually disappeared over the past 20 years… and recently, fractional shares have become widely available, so most brokers these days will let you place an order for $200 worth of Amazon shares, or $20,000 worth, without worrying about exactly how many shares that is.
I'm an Amazon (AMZN) shareholder and have been gradually adding to that position, and I sometimes buy partial shares, which wasn't really possible until a couple years ago but is a great tool for small investors, particularly in this era when stock splits have become less common and companies seem to have been taking more pride in having a $500+ share price. I still vividly remember, when my portfolio was far smaller 15 or 20 years ago, that I scraped together the capital to buy my first Berkshire B share for more than $3,000, with a single share being about what my Roth IRA annual contribution was at the time. That was a little tough to do, and I thought it was worthwhile to make that work in order to buy into Warren Buffett's colossus, but that kind of investing is thankfully far easier now — not only did Berkshire split the shares to make their acquisition of BNSF easier, bringing the B share price down to a more accessible level in the $50-100 range, but even now, with Berkshire back well above $200, if I had only $20 to invest this week I could easily buy a tenth of a share of Berkshire through Fidelity, Robinhood or many of the other easily accessible discount brokers who offer fractional shares (almost every big broker already allows this, but I bet we'll be able to drop that "almost" pretty soon — competition is a wonderful thing).
So whether or not you care to be an Amazon shareholder, the price per share of an investment shouldn't mean all that much for most people these days — in almost every case, any interested investor can buy an appropriate amount of exposure to whatever stock they want (unless, of course, you're using an options strategy — CBOE experimented with mini options that were based on 10 shares instead of 100 shares for some higher priced stocks for a while, but I'm pretty sure those have all been discontinued over the past couple years).
Sorry about that interlude, I'll stop down off my soapbox… what else does Oxford say about this stock? More from today's email:
"… today, we're revealing a stock that OWNS Amazon warehouse real estate… and it trades for around $30.
"That's right. Amazon pays rent to THIS company. And anyone can afford to get in.
"Best of all, this little-known stock pays a massive dividend. Every single month."
Ah, so that gets rid of most of the mystery for us… The ad is now dated "October 2020," but it looks like it's essentially the same pitch I wrote about in September.
Which means, with these extra clues, that we can confirm with more certainty what I said a couple months ago[1]: yes, this is Stag Industrial (STAG).
And indeed, that new email I received today links to a largely unchanged "Real Estate Redo" pitch from Marc Lichtenfeld… it's got a new date, but the pitch for this particular one of the stocks he hints at has not changed. Here's a little snippet of those clues, should you want to have a refresher:
"…an industrial REIT that rents out logistics real estate for e-commerce. Think warehouses and supply chain buildings.
"Its biggest tenant? Amazon.
"Amazon has warehouses all over the country so it can get you your package as fast as possible… and it's adding more all the time.
"Imagine collecting income from all the shipping Amazon does….
"But get this – this REIT also collects rent from companies like UPS, FedEx, Target, Wayfair, Samsung and more.
"It's paying out $214 million each year… and you get paid MONTHLY, just like collecting a real rent check.
"To get the most bang for your buck, I personally recommend reinvesting the dividends you'll get each month until you need the money.
Are you getting our free Daily Update
"reveal" emails? If not,
just click here...
"You'll get more shares… and eventually see massive income streams.
"But if you need the money now, by all means, collect that monthly payment!"
What's missing since the last time I wrote about this one? In the previous iteration, Lichtenfeld hinted that it was "trading for 25% off recent highs," and that's not in the current version of the spiel. For good reason. That was no longer true by the time we started to see the original ad over the summer, and certainly hasn't been true since May or so, though it is true that at $31 or so, the stock is still about 10% below its all-time high share price (which was hit in early August).
Stag Industrial is a single-tenant industrial/warehouse REIT which, like the much-larger (and more frequently teased) industrial REIT ProLogis (PLD), counts Amazon as its largest tenant — though as of earlier this year, Amazon still accounted for only about 2% of STAG's revenue, so we shouldn't overstate that connection. Freight and logistics generally represents about 8.4% of STAG's revenue, but "automotive" is the biggest sector at 11.6%.
Why is it a match? The dividend payout is quite close to what's teased, this year the total dividend payout should be a little above $214 million, since the dividend tends to rise and the share count will also probably rise, but it's very close right now (there are 149 million shares outstanding, the most recent quarter totaled 36 cents in dividends per share, that tallies up to $214 million if you annualize it at the current rate).
That "single tenant" business doesn't mean that they have only one tenant, by the way, it just means that they typically have only one tenant per building — which increases the risk a bit, but is common in these kinds of REITs. Generally, properties like warehouses or logistics facilities have only one tenant or a small number of tenants, unlike an office building or a shopping mall, so having just one vacancy can mean a substantial drop in "occupancy rate," and a purpose-built warehouse can be difficult to repurpose for a different client if your customer defaults.
STAG is fairly small, and relatively volatile for a REIT, and pays an above-average yield of 4.6% (12 cents per share, per month, equals $1.44/year, which is 4.6% of $31) — and yes, it pays monthly, which generally attracts individual shareholders who like either the monthly income to help with their actual living expenses, or the slightly more rapid compounding you get from a monthly dividend compared to the more typical quarterly dividend.
And what has happened lately? STAG reported last week, so interested investors can check out that press release[2] or read the transcript of their conference call[3] to see what they're saying about the current business climate… but the short answer is, "things are going well."
Industrial is the happiest sub-sector in the REIT space this year, thanks to the strength of e-commerce and home improvement and some of the other large customer groups who depend on logistics and warehouse real estate… though things are not perfect, not by any means, and they certainly have a few tenants who are suffering and some rent that is not being paid on time, as well as some leases up for renewal right now that are unlikely to provide the kinds of rent increases they had gotten used to in recent years. They say that rent collection for October has continued to be strong at about 97.5%, so they are clearly not in crisis, but they are not quite at 100%.
The numbers reflect that — things are not great, but they are as good as last year… and compared to most real estate companies, that is a real ray of sunshine. STAG posted Core Funds From Operations of 46 cents per share, exactly what they posted in the same quarter of 2019 (FFO is a cash flow measure that REITs tend to use instead of earnings to reflect their ability to sustain the business and pay dividends — it mostly just ignores depreciation and the impact of purchases or sales of property, and most REITs further shine their books by referring to "Core FFO" or "Adjusted FFO" to make it even cleaner-looking by removing other stuff they don't want to talk about).
FFO is where the ability to pay the dividend comes from, not really from earnings, since most REITs fund acquisitions or renovations with new equity or with debt, not by "banking" the money that depreciation is intended to set aside for such purposes. Through the first nine months of 2020, STAG has generated $1.40 per share in that "Core FFO", which is about a 3% increase over last year. They also use a metric called "Cash Available for Distribution," which is lower but grew faster — that number was $180 million for the first three quarters of the year, with this last quarter at $55 million. That means "Cash Available for Distribution" stands at about $1.20 per share for the year to date (there are 149.23 million shares outstanding), and the dividend is 12 cents/share/month, so we shouldn't expect big dividend increases anytime soon — they usually declare their dividend increase in early January, and it is usually tiny (the last increase was by 0.7%, so it didn't even keep up with inflation), but they're already paying out 90% of their "cash available for distribution."
They didn't use that "Cash Available for Distribution" term last year, but if they had it would have been $1.09 per share, so they have at least gotten a little bit less stretched on that front, last year at this time they were on track to have paid out $1.07 in dividends out of $1.09 in cash available, so 98% or so instead of this year's 90%. That's a little encouraging, though not necessarily an indicator of big growth to come.
The Conference Call includes some interesting notes about the health of their tenants and their own balance sheet:
"We recently completed our fourth annual tenant survey. Not surprisingly, there are more and less fortunate industries during the pandemic. The more fortunate include third-party logistics providers and the home improvement industry, and of course, anything e-commerce related. Less fortunate include tenants in the trade show industry and certain small automobile tenants. E-commerce remains a dominant theme. Approximately 40% of our respondents across our portfolio utilize a portion of their space to conduct e-commerce activity and approximately 15% of our buildings are solely dedicated e-commerce. Our tenants reported an increase in the percentage of their warehouse footprint focused on e-commerce activity, an increase from 30% in 2018 to almost 40% in 2020. STAG is in enviable position as we approach the end of the year. Our balance sheet is defensively positioned and our liquidity is high. The STAG team is working effectively and efficiently in the current work from home environment, the strong engagement across the organization and a resilient culture."
And while things are generally pretty solid, we should point out that it's also not going to really be a "growth" year… more from the call…
"We have increased our expected acquisition volume range now projecting between $650 million and $750 million with an expected cash cap rate range of 6% to 6.25% and we expected straight-line cap rate range of 6.5% to 6.75%. We have increased our 2020 disposition volume range, now projecting between $150 million and $200 million. We have increased our expected retention range, now projected between 70% and 75% for the year, which includes 2 million square feet of non-retention associated with the Solo Cup and GSA facilities.
"We have increased our expected annual cash same store range now projecting 2020 annual same store pools cash NOI growth to be between 75 and 125 basis points for the year. This range includes the reduction in our annual credit loss guidance to a range of 75 to 125 basis points. We continue to expect G&A to be between $39 million and $41 million for the year. We expect to run leverage between 4.5 and 5.25 times for the year. Capital expenditures per average square foot is still expected to be between $0.27 and $0.31 for the year. We have increased the expected range of core FFO per share to be between $1.86 and $1.88 for the year, representing a midpoint increase of $0.03."
That core FFO would make it feasible to increase the dividend if they like, but they haven't shown such an indication in the past… dividend growth for STAG is paltry, which is my largest caution flag here. Growth in the investor payout has averaged about 1% a year over the past four years, well below inflation, so unless you see a surprise dividend increase of more substantial scale it's probably safest to assume that the dividend will be the entirety of your return. So yes, a yield of almost 5% isn't bad, but it's not great for a stagnant dividend… I do like STAG's positioning, but I'd want to be able to model up a vision for future dividend increases before investing, and that's hard to do right now — if they do increase the dividend more than 1% or so in January, it will probably be because they sell one of their more valuable properties, a large logistics warehouse on the New Jersey Turnpike that they're talking about offloading, and put that capital into something with a slightly higher cash yield, though the competition is pretty fierce in the industrial space and the cap rates are awfully low, in the 5-6% range ("cap rate" is essentially net property income divided by purchase price, so if you're buying properties at a 5% cap rate and paying out a 4.6% dividend you don't have a lot of cash left to pay overhead… unless you borrow a lot of the capital for the acquisition, and your borrowing costs are very low).
On the other hand, of course, we have the reality that investors need income, a near-5% yield ain't bad, and the Federal Reserve seems likely to try to keep interest rates tamped down to near zero, which should support "alternative" sources of income like REITs. That's probably largely why so many REITs have outperformed their dividend in recent years — here's what the growth has looked like for STAG over the past five years, in most cases, over the long term, I find that REIT share prices are driven by the increase in the dividend, but you can see that STAG investors have bid the stock up faster than the company has increased its payout:
That doesn't mean anything in particular for the near term, but in general REIT performance tends to be driven, over the long term, by the REIT's ability to increase the dividend on a per-share basis. The fantastic performers are fantastic dividend growth stories, not just strong companies who manage their properties well. You can get some sense of that from the largest company in STAG's space, Prologis (PLD), here's that same chart for them:
And Lichtenfeld is also still hinting at a couple other REITs, as we covered last time, and they're still Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR) and Digital Realty Trust (DLR), so here are the charts for those two, in case you're curious — IIPR hasn't been public for five years yet, but still the dividend growth is an obvious driver:
IIPR[7] data by YCharts[8]
And Digital Realty's five year chart shows the trend…
But they also went through a bit of a restructuring that lifted the stock dramatically in 2016, so the three-year chart is perhaps a little more illustrative of the importance of dividend growth:
Monthly income and a reasonably high dividend yield are both attractive things, and both can serve as a bit of a security blanket for those of us who are feeling a little Linus tendency during these turbulent days… but dividend growth is what builds fortunes. Building a fortune is slow, I'm sad to say, but if you can choose strong stocks and let those dividends compound, it can also seem quite relentless for the patient REIT investor.
The big picture risk to be wary of, for essentially all REITs, is a shift to a long period of rising interest rates, should that ever come, because REITs haven't ever really been tested in a long bear market for bonds. Real Estate Investment Trusts have technically been around for 60 years, the tax structure was created in 1960, but REITS were arguably a niche part of the investing world and untouched by most investors before the 1980s and 90s, and interest rates have been in a gradual decline now for almost 40 years, which has increased the asset value of real property and helped leveraged real estate investments become gradually more profitable (almost every REIT also borrows money, to improve the per-share returns). It's possible that this big picture backdrop will change, indeed it might even be likely that it will change, though it's also possible for interest rates to stay in stasis for a decade or more (just ask Japan), and we probably won't recognize the real turning point until years after it happens.
I have looked into the industrial REITs several times in the past, thanks to relentless teases for ProLogis (which is far and away the industry leader, and one of the largest REITs in the world), so if you want to see that longer-form musing you can catch my update from last week here[11].
Prologis is a substantially more richly valued company than STAG, based on 2020 guidance STAG is trading at about 17 FFO while PLD is at about 27X FFO using similar numbers… and Prologis is more than 10X larger and has been almost as volatile this year, but it's also been able to keep lifting the dividend so far, with the latest increase at almost 10%, and that carries a lot of weight for income investors. I think Stag has some potential, and have been cautiously interested in it for a couple years now, but have not convinced myself to buy shares because of the lack of dividend growth.
Your opinion might vary, of course, and I'd be delighted to hear it — just chime in with a comment below, and thanks for reading!

CVs – any relevant skills / work experience?
One candidate came to me during 2011 with her cv and we reviewed the work experience section together – mainly 3 holiday jobs working in a shop, a restaurant and a lettings agency. I asked whether she thought that any of this was relevant experience for an application to be a trainee solicitor, and her answer was "not really". So I asked her to describe the types of activities involved, which led onto a discussion of the skills that she had developed – by the end it was clear to us both that her experience was very relevant.
2. managed the process of getting a tenant to sign up to a tenancy, juggling the landlord, inventory, credit checks, deposits etc.
So we rewrote the experience section of her cv under various headings such as "Stakeholder Management" "Client Advisory" and "Project / Document Management".
Then I asked the question again: "Do you have any relevant experience for the role of trainee solicitor?" – Answer – "YES".
So I take away from this that any holiday job can be helpful in developing skills that are relevant to the role of being a successful solicitor. It also gives a candidate the chance to show that they understand what skills are needed to do the job well – that's important.
Finally, I'm not always that impressed by candidates who have not done any holiday jobs except legal internships. Don't get me wrong, these legal internships are very useful – in fact that was how I landed an offer from a large City firm. It's just that the better candidates have done other jobs as well and can talk about the positive transferable skills that are relevant to being a solicitor – it just needs a bit of creative thinking.

LSU Art School Students Rack Up in Local Awards Competition
Feb 25, 2010 Art & Design, Students, Honors & Awards, Art, Graphic Designaddys
LSU students from the School of Art and the Manship School of Mass Communication picked up three dozen medals, including 19 gold and 17 silver, as well as two special prizes at this year's local ADDY Awards ceremony.
In the student competition, the Best of Show award went to Jeffrey Noel of the Manship School of Mass Communications for his "Swiss Army Print Campaign." A Special Judges' Award went to Art School student Jared Tanner for his "Ubermensch Federation Poster." Tanner also received four gold medals, while the School's Graphic Design Student Organization (GDSO) picked up two gold medals and four silver.
"We're very proud of our students and of the work of the GDSO," says Dean David Cronrath. "We've always known what high quality work the GDSO can produce. It's gratifying to know the professional design community appreciates it as well.
The ADDY awards are conducted by the American Advertising Federation at the local, regional and national level. They recognize all forms of creative excellence from media of all types. This year's local competition attracted 446 entries from Baton Rouge professionals and LSU students, and was judged by a panel of out‐of-state advertising executives. Winners of the Baton Rouge awards are eligible to compete in the five‐state District 7 competition in April, where winners move to compete nationally in June.
