Let's face it: keeping crew records up-to-date and tracking visa, passport and certificate expiry dates is one of those tedious, time-consuming burdens we all love to hate. I'd literally rather scrub heads than scan documents.
The problem with inventories is that they're only as good as the people maintaining them, and not everyone views inventory maintenance as important—and some simply don't want to do the work. I think I only ever joined one yacht that had a complete and up-to-date inventory in my entire 20 years of crewing!

Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific
In an island paradise during World War II, Nellie, a spunky nurse from Arkansas, falls in love with a mature French planter, Emile. Nellie learns that the mother of his children was an island native and, unable to turn her back on the prejudices with which she was raised, refuses Emile's proposal of marriage. Meanwhile, the strapping Lt. Joe Cable denies himself the fulfillment of a future with an innocent Tonkinese girl with whom he's fallen in love out of the same fears that haunt Nellie. When Emile is recruited to accompany Joe on a dangerous mission that claims Joe's life, Nellie realises that life is too short not to seize her own chance for happiness, thus confronting and conquering her prejudices. This concert adaptation was created by David Ives for the Carnegie Hall benefit concert of South Pacific in 2006.
Based on Tales of the South Pacific, James Michener's collection of short stories, South Pacific opened on Broadway at the the Majestic Theatre on April 7, 1949, starring Mary Martin, Ezio Pinza and Juanita Hall. South Pacific received the 1950 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and for the first time the committee included a composer in the drama prize. The show received ten Tony Awards (including Best Musical), a Grammy Award and countless other accolades. For years the second-longest running show in Broadway history (right behind Oklahoma!), South Pacific returned to Broadway in a celebrated 2008 revival starring Kelli O'Hara and Paolo Szot. The show has proven itself a classic in countless productions around the world and was adapted onscreen in the 1958 film starring Rossano Brazzi and Mitzi Gaynor and in a 2001 made-for-television film starring Glenn Close and Harry Connick, Jr.

Home / category "Car Safety"
Car trips with babies are challenging enough, but how do you keep your dog safe and happy in the car? Many people use boarding kennels or pet sitters. These are great options, but sometimes you have no choice but to take your dog along with you for the ride.
What if you're moving? Maybe you're taking a cross-country trip or can't afford a pet sitter. Or you may simply want to enjoy a vacation with your dog.
While the vast majority of child safety seats have been thoroughly crash tested and approved by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the same does not apply for pet safety seats. As a matter of fact, the CPSC has no authority over those products, since they aren't considered consumer goods (i.e. not for human use).
Even so, there are many safe pet restraints on the market. We've reviewed several of them on BestCarSeatHub.com.
Why bother with pet restraints?
Though most of us buckle up automatically when we get in the car, most people don't even think about it when riding with their dogs (or cats). You've probably seen a dog hanging out the passenger side window or a cat lying on the back dash of a car.
Sure, they're having fun watching the world pass by, but accidents can take us by surprise. One minute you're happily driving down the road, and the next you're either slamming on the brakes to avoid a collision, or another car speeds through a red light at the intersection and crashes into your car.
An unrestrained dog can not only be badly injured, but they can also become a projectile object and injure you or any other passengers. Buckling them up helps keep everyone safe.
A 2012 study estimated over 400,000 people were injured as a result of distracted drivers. Another study from AAA found over 60% of dog owners engage in distracting activities with their dogs in the car.
In other words, if you ever text while driving (we hope you don't) AND your dog is running around or getting into your lap, you've just doubled the distractions and are twice as likely to injure yourself and your dog in a crash.
Don't be another statistic. Make sure your dog is buckled up too. But don't put them in the front seat. Air bags can seriously injure dogs. The back seat or hatch area is the best place for your dog.
There are several options available depending on the size and temperament of your dog. Though they come in several different designs, they can be classified into these categories.
Harnesses come in all sizes, but tend to work well for large dogs and dogs that don't mind a close-hugging restraint. For some great recommendations and in-depth harness reviews, read more on our blog.
For dogs that don't like tight restraints, crates are a good option so long as they are tethered in the vehicle. Smaller dogs often enjoy riding in carriers / kennels and dog booster seats.
Your dogs are one of those fragile cargos you have to consider bringing with you when you're traveling. As you have them seated in place, they won't really have any control on what's to happen next inside the vehicle which makes them both a threat and a nuisance for other passengers.
If you want to ensure that everything is in place before you even travel with your pet dog together with other people in your car, you have to know what you should be preparing first hand for safety and convenience.
More likely this could be your very first time to travel with your furry friend and you're planning to get the most out of your vacation that you're also planning to have the whole family go with you. Well, it's not that easy to get everybody get along when they are already inside the car especially if this is the first time to have a pet come along your trip. But, with enough preparation, you'll be able to fix everything.
The initial thing you have to always keep in mind before traveling with your pet is to be able to pack all the accessories and equipment to keep your pet dog safe and comfortable while traveling with you by car.
Don't forget the dog tags, collar, safety harness, water, food and all of the supplies needed to suffice the needs of your pet companion throughout your travel time.
You're probably wondering what type of restraints will best suit your dog when you travel by car. Well, this will definitely depend on your own preference. Although most pet owners who also own a huge vehicle would prefer to bring closed carriages or crates with them to place their pets for safe keeping, you can also prefer to make use of safety harnesses to be attached to your car seat.
Take note that you shouldn't be bringing your pet with you on a trip without any safety restraints on. A dog on the loose inside the car can definitely be a cause of vehicular accident and may as well cause injury to other passengers in case you meet any unfortunate events on the road.
Mostly long trips can be very exciting in its first hour, but if it takes longer than that you and your passengers may find it quite boring and tiresome which means that you may have to take a stop or rest for awhile. This behavior as well applies to your pet dogs.
Once you make a stop, ensure that you check on your pet to see if there's anything that they need to keep them comfortable in the next few hours of your trip.
Just in case this is your dog's first time to travel you can also consult with your vet on other particular safety measures needed for traveling as well as meds that your dog can take in case they're not used to travel. Having said all that, you should now be ready on your trip and all you need to do is to pack up your stuff and your pet's supplies so you can all get excited.
You probably love your one and only companion when traveling which could be the reason why you want to ensure his or her safety whenever you travel with your very best friend pooch. There is nothing more helpful than being able to obtain access to a complete guide for searching for the right harness that you can safely use for your doggie.
Take note that the safest harness is always the best choice for your travel pet companion.
Big dogs or small ones can enjoy traveling with you time after time and at the same time they can also show you that they're really enjoying the whole ride as they wag their tails happily spending the whole travel time with you.
Your doggies are really interested to discover what type of experience they'll have with you when it comes to accompanying you form destination to another. To be able to make the most out of your trip, you as a pet owner should ensure that everything is in place including that special safety seat for your pet companion.
Now, the reality is that when you ride with your doggies and you don't have them restrained properly in their seats, you are not only keeping them from being safe but you are also compromising your own safety.
Aside from the noisy passengers and a crying toddler, your pet companion can also be a cause of distraction.
To prevent this from being a cause of any possible accidents while you're on the road, it's best that you keep your pet restrained with the appropriate harness to be installed in your car.
The good news is that it's not that hard to find harnesses online or offline nowadays as there are a lot of companies selling them.
However, your challenge is searching for the best ones that can assure you that your pet is protected from injuries that may be incurred due to any unfortunate events that may happen while you're on the road.
You should also be aware that in most states that you travel to, they have laws regarding distracted driving and you should be aware about such restrictions and regulations.
It doesn't matter where you get your dog harness from. What's important is that you have to obtain the one that's right for your dog. There are manufacturers that claim they're product is completely safe but the truth is that they're not that engineered and designed for the safety of your dog and you have to have a keen eye on these things. You have to consider the size of your dog, the materials that the harness is made of and the safety features of the harness as well.
Isn't it an absolute convenience for you and your pet dog if you can assure that both of you are safely traveling in your car anytime you want? The good news is that, more and more people are interested in finding ways on how to protect their pet and every single passenger in their car whenever they travel.
So, if you own a vehicle yourself and you have a pet that you want to bring with you wherever you go, you should as well start looking into the various possibilities of keeping your pet safe while you're driving.
The studies are mostly being conducted by engineers as well as various employees who brainstormed their own ideas on how installing a car seat for your dog can definitely protect them while inside a vehicle as well as the people who are inside the vehicle including the driver. Unfortunately there is not that much data on statistics so those who study them make use of their own dogs for the study.
Even high officials of various companies find themselves agreeing to the point where dogs should as well be protected while in a vehicle knowing that millions of people treat them as a traveling companion.
An Organization such as Johnson Controls have determined from their testing, research and studies that there is a very big possibility that not only dogs but pet cats can definitely be saved from death or any particular injury as a result of a vehicular crash if they are making use of safety devices and equipment when traveling.
Chances are you are now convinced that it really is important that you also have to consider the safety of your pets when you op to travel with them right? The next thing that you'll probably look into is obtaining the right safety equipment for your pets. Since these safety devices are not created equally, you'll have to ensure that you're getting them from a reliable maker of such kind of equipment.
You probably have heard of various stories regarding the failure of such devices and equipment to protect pets which may lead to your pet's death or injury which of course you don't want to experience.
Definitely on your search you'll find a variety of options in the market today and this is the reason why you'll have to choose wisely. Try to look for ones that are not only accessories for your pet but are equipped with safety devices and dog restraints.
By doing this you can ensure that your pet is not only comfortable but is safely restrained while waiting to reach your destination!


Proprietors and administrators of organizations dependably have the alternative of financing a business by method for either obligation or value. For any business, there is normally an ideal obligation to value proportion that best satisfies the destinations of proprietors and administrators and which relies on upon various variables.
There are various focal points to financing by means of obligation. Obligation has the benefit of for the most part being assessment deductible (despite the fact that duty administrations in a few nations do set an utmost on the measure of obligation which is deductible), and obligation financing has the upside of keeping away from weakening of value possession. The cost of obligation financing is hence lower than the cost of value.
However the enormous burden of obligation financing is that it expands the level of hazard in the organization (i.e. there is a higher danger of default). In addition, as the level of obligation increments in an organization, the cost of such obligation likewise tends to expand to adjust for the extra hazard.
There are likewise various patterned components that may affect the obligation to value proportion. The normal obligation to value proportion fluctuates relying upon whether markets are bullish or bearish, regardless of whether the monetary segment to which an organization has a place is more dawn or nightfall, or without a doubt on whether an organization is in an early improvement stage or at development.
Amid the last monetary blast, most entrepreneurs would have favored a higher blend of obligation to value as obligation was promptly accessible, loan costs were lower, organizations had more exact income gauges, and profit tended to ascend after some time. Development could be financed through obligation, while existing value proprietors stayed in charge, and intrigue was expense deductible.
Notwithstanding, amid the present retreat, profit are a great deal more hard to anticipate (organizations regularly experience difficulty determining for the coming quarter, let alone for the year) and obligation is substantially less promptly accessible, accordingly of the a great deal more preservationist loaning arrangements the banks are embracing. While financing costs, for example, Euribor, Libor, and so on have diminished by a few rate focuses, the spreads over Euribor or Libor have by and large expanded by somewhere in the range of 100 to 400 premise focuses for most organizations, implying that the genuine cost of obligation financing (after alteration for swelling) has by and large expanded.
"Deleveraging" frequently emerges amid the present retreat. The elements depicted above for the most part compel organizations to substitute value for obligation. Nonetheless, value has additionally turned out to be more troublesome and exorbitant to source amid the present retreat, contrasted with year and a half prior. Value as a wellspring of financing has not vanished. Both monetary and key speculators have a tendency to be sharp amid an emergency. Bulking up the accounting report with a sound dosage of value is an alternative that a dominant part of entrepreneurs and chiefs ought to consider today.
Notwithstanding the alternative of value infusion, half and half instruments, (e.g. which contain components of both obligation and value) may likewise reinforce an organization's money related position. Two basic crossover instruments are favored shares (which have a commitment to pay a specific profit rate), and convertible obligation (where the loan specialist might will to acknowledge a lower financing cost in return for having the choice to change over the obligation into value at a later date). Half and half instruments regularly have a level of hazard that is higher than obligation however lower than value, and in this manner the cost of financing additionally lies somewhere close to the cost of obligation and the cost of value.

Oh, how I love (a few things) from Rubber Stamping to Paper Crafting to my Friends and Team to Card Making and to Learning a New Technique... so combine all of my loves (besides my family and reading) into one hand-crafted project! This fun new Bokeh technique is all the rage. It is supposed to mimic the light rays/bubbles in photographs and looks so cool. While being easy and fun it is way messy - lol. So get prepared to ink up those fingers when you do this cool new technique for a WOW hand-stamped card.
Thanks to the help of my Color Coach - it paired the Soft Sky with Rich Razzleberry. This helps to design a WOW hand-stamped card that is stylish in color.
I introduced this technique in a Sneak Peak to my Gettin' Crafty Stampin' Stampers Newsletter last week. It is such fun to see how different you can make this project. You, too, can be part of this newsletter and see the exclusive tutorials, discounts and more - for FREE!
Start by Sponging the Whisper White card stock (4"x 5-1/4") with the Soft Sky ink and the Rich Razzleberry ink in a fun pattern. Keep each sponge with their stamp pad - to avoid mixing the colors on the ink pad.
At our recent Team Meeting (the Last Saturday afternoon of each month it even includes dinner) we created awesome hand-stamped cards, had awards, door prizes, tutorials, ideas, fun and crafting - whew - we even did swaps of cards as a bonus fun accent to the meeting! I couldn't resist going an extra fun mile to deliver a WOW hand-stamped card that told my dear friends how very AWESOME they are!! I would love to have YOU Join My Gettin' Crafty Stampin' Team - it's a great deal and 9 years ago last week I signed up to get the discount and have been blessed with so very much more.
This technique is allllll about the layers and random look. So see how it started out and as each layer is added, moving the stencil around to find the 'perfect' look/spot.
I started out using the Whisper White Craft Ink Pad to create the base 'pale' bubbles. It did pick up the colors sponged on the base. I would recommend allowing the first sponged base to dry for a while before adding the Whisper White craft ink. See the bottom first box above.
It soooo needs more, more interest and contrast. Using a the template in the Soft Sky ink pad to crate a new layer of bubbles overlapping the Whisper White ones.
Stamping the sentiment from the Big News stamp set in Rich Razzleberry ink so highlight how awesome My Gettin' Crafty Stampin' Team is! Add more interest using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the 2013-15 Sequin Assortment to add sparkle.
I did warn you - lol. Yes, you will get MESSY! Sometimes it is worth getting messy to create a dynamic hand-crafted card, isn't it?
In creating this hand-crafted card for My Amazing Gettin' Crafty Stampin' Team and collection of dear friends it had to scream how AWESOME they are! So have fun and learn a new technique in paper-crafting. It is fun to try something new. Deliver an On-Trend hand-stamped card that will be proudly displayed. A small measure of love that can have bless in a big way - Join Me in delivering and blessing smiles to others this year!!

An excerpt, translated from the Serbian by Alice Copple-Tosic:
I ran as fast as my legs would carry me.
The carriage had just pulled away from the buffer at the end of the track. Even though it was still moving slowly, had I been carrying any luggage, particularly anything heavy, I wouldn't have made it. Luckily, all I was holding was my coat and hat.
I didn't know how to get onto a moving carriage. Was I first supposed to jump onto the step on the platform of the last car and then grab hold of the handrail, or the other way around? Who knows what I would have done if the back door hadn't opened just as I caught up to the car. The conductor came out onto the platform.
"Give me your hand!" he shouted.
I stretched out the arm with my coat thrown over it. He grabbed my hand and heaved mightily. The next instant I was standing next to him on the platform.
"Wonderful!" said the conductor with a smile.
"I'm sorry," I replied, out of breath.
"Come, now! You have no reason to excuse yourself. Quite the contrary. I'm delighted that you joined us. Welcome!"
He patted me lightly on the shoulder. We stood there for several moments without speaking, smiling at each other.
"I'm afraid I don't have a ticket," I said contritely.
"The ticket isn't important. The essential thing is that you made it."
"I'm extremely grateful to you."
"Let's go in," said the conductor, moving aside to let me enter first.
I went inside the car. He came in after me, closed the door and then locked it. Turning towards me, he held out both his hands.
"Please let me take your coat and hat."
"Oh," I said, and gave them to him.
The conductor opened a narrow closet in the wall next to the rear door. It was full of overcoats, fur coats, mackintoshes, capes, ski jackets and windcheaters. The shelf above it held all kinds of hats and caps. There were shawls, gloves and muffs and three or four umbrellas too. He took a wooden hanger and hung my coat on it, then placed my hat on a free spot in the corner of the shelf. Then he bent down and took a pair of slippers with large pink pom-poms out of the lower part of the closet. That's when I noticed the shoes neatly placed on the floor: they were mostly ordinary shoes of different shapes and sizes, but there were a few pairs of sandals, boots, trainers, galoshes, clogs and thongs.
The conductor put the slippers on the dark-red carpet runner in front of me and then said, still bent over, "Your shoes, if you please."
I squatted down to untie my shoelaces. I pulled on the slippers as the conductor put my shoes away in the closet. We stood up simultaneously. Suddenly he began to stagger. His hands flew to his forehead and he leaned his back against the closet.
"Aren't you feeling well?" I asked anxiously.
"No, no, everything's all right," he said in a weary voice. "Just a little dizzy spell. It will soon pass."
The conductor was a tall, broad-shouldered man with bushy eyebrows, and this infirmity seemed unsuited to his size. He soon regained his composure, just as he'd predicted.
"Do you have low blood pressure? I've heard that people with low blood pressure feel dizzy when they stand up quickly."
The conductor's reply was not immediate. "It's not from low blood pressure," he said at last. "Whenever I close the closet, I remember…"
He didn't finish the sentence. The smile of a moment before turned into a painful frown. I thought I should say something, but didn't know what.
"All of that has nothing to do with you, of course," he continued. "Why should you be interested in my feelings? I wouldn't blame you in the slightest if you told me my past has nothing to do with you and I mustn't bore you with it."
"Quite the contrary," I hastened to assure him. "I would love to hear it, if that will make you feel better…"
"Arguably the most remarkable fabulist since Borges and Calvino."

East Coast Mooney Fans's Which Mooney do you fly now and which is your favorite?
Hi guys, I have not just one, but TWO different M20C models. Both have pretty much all the 201 speed kits: 1-peice winshields, flap gap fairings, one peice belly pan. One has an aftermarket ray-jay turbo charger and built in oxygen, the other has the STC to install a 201 engine. The one with the turbo has an engine ready to be overhauled to hopefully "zero time engine" if I understand the term correctly. The non-turbo has no usable engine due to a gear up landing and wear, but does have good cylinders and probably most of the accessories. The one with a turbo has been in a hangar for a while and is in pretty fair shape. The other has been on the ramp several years and probably will need a fair bit of love. Neither have any particularly special avionics. The non-turbo has basic king radios which work ok. The turbo has digital king radios in good working order I believe. They are actually my father's, but he is starting to get too old to deal with the situation and the time has come to address his positions. I can no longer leave either aircraft where they are. My qustions are, in the opinion of the guys here who know Mooney's, are either or both Mooneys viable to restore. If so, what would either one be worth. If not how should I go about getting rid of one or both of them? I realize I probably haven't given quite enough information but ask specificsand I will try to find the answers. Thanks!

Frank Perry
Web browser is one of the most important apps on any smartphone and for good experience, it is very important to have a good browser with the right features. However, Finding the right browser can be really difficult considering that there are so many browsers out there. Here are the best Android browsers of 2020.

Q: How to create customized table I need to create this table:

I'm having problems on the second row, this is what I got:

I'm not understanding where I'm wrong
\documentclass[11pt]{report}
\usepackage{outline} \usepackage{pmgraph} \usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
\usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage[italian]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{multirow}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}[t]{|p{2cm}|p{3cm}|p{2.8cm}|p{5.1cm}|p{1.1cm}|p{0.2cm}|}

\textbf{Attore innescante}  &  dd   &  ddd  &   dddd\\
\cline{1-6}
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

A: Please see the following MWE:
\documentclass[11pt]{report}
%\usepackage{outline} \usepackage{pmgraph} \usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
%\usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage[italian]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\hline
\textbf{Requisito}   &   R1 & \textbf{Tipo Requisito}  &   Funzionale &     \textbf{Casi d'uso} & 1\\
\cline{1-6}
%\hline
\textbf{Descrizione} &

\cline{1-6}
\textbf{Descrizione} & bbb  &   bbbb                   &              &                         & \\

\textbf{Attore innescante} & &  dd                     &  ddd         &   dddd                  & \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

If you want to have one cell over 5 columns you have to use \multicolumn{5}{...}.  Your columns are too wide. I reduced some sizes to place the table visable on the paper. Please work on this. And at last you missed several &, because even if a cell is empty you have to write it. It is easier to see missing & if you pretty print your table. See my code please.
At last you should get rid of the vertical lines.  And better use package booktabs (texdoc booktabs on your terminal for the documentation).
with the result:

A: Do you need somthing like this?
\begin{tabular} [t]{|p{2cm}|p{3cm}|p{2.8cm}|p{3.1cm}|p{1.1cm}|p{0.2cm}|}
\hline
\textbf{Requisito}  &   R1 & \textbf{Tipo Requisito}  &   Funzionale &     \textbf{Casi d'uso} & 1\\
\cline{1-6}
\hline
\textbf{Descrizione} &
\multicolumn{5}{|p{\linewidth}|}{L'utente inserisce le  informazioni relative alla propria forma fisica, alle preferenze relative alle letture tematiche e alla privacy}&\\
\hline
\textbf{Descrizione} & bbb  &   bbbb & bbb & bb &\\

It has to be about the material and whether it's furthering the conversation
Posted bystoriesofopen November 30, 2021 November 15, 2021 Posted inStoryTags:author, debbie, peer review, refereeing
This is the second in a series of three presenting Debbie's story. In the first part, Debbie shared her experiences submitting to a Canadian journal and one international in scope. Both of her experiences were positive, and she felt that the communication and transparency of the journal systems were a part of that.
In this second part of Debbie's story, she shares a bit about her experiences as a peer reviewer herself and discusses the process she underwent submitting a peer-reviewed book chapter.
Debbie Schachter
Position: Director, Library Services & Learning Commons, Langara College; Director, CAPER-BC
Fun Fact: Debbie enjoys going on horse riding holidays in different countries.
I did provide a review in the Canadian Journal of Information and Library Science (CJILS) and it was very helpful to be doing this after having had those most very recent, very different experiences. [The two article submissions discussed in the first part of her story.] It was interesting how the reviewer information was provided. It's very clear about what they expect the reviewer to be reviewing and how to communicate it, and it was interesting you made that comments and how they can be inappropriate. Yeah, I'm sure they can be. And how they want to be really clear about not stating it's not up to the reviewer to determine whether or not the article should be published and all of these other parameters. So that was really interesting. In fact, it would have been interesting to look at that even before submitting, because it helps you to think about, "okay, if I were looking at this as a reviewer what would I be looking for." Even though you know you look at submission requirements– obviously it depends on the topic. It depends how you've written the paper, but those edited pieces are an excellent lens to be looking at even when you're writing a paper I felt. So, that was a really interesting process, too.
Emily: Had you had any training aside from the guidelines that you saw from the journal to be offering a review?
Just subject expertise and really as a higher education teacher and masters and undergrad programs. I took it as those were the qualifications that were appropriate to that extent. Other than that it was the subject expertise.
Emily: But the guidelines were clear enough for you that you felt like you could take that and know what you were doing?
Yes, they were very specific, and I thought that was really helpful.
Emily: You mentioned something about having attended workshops about peer review while you were a doctoral student. Can you tell me more about that? I'm just going to reflect quickly: what I've heard from a lot of people that I've spoken to is that there's never been really training or understanding about what the peer-review process looks like as an author, particularly for librarians only in master's programs who don't go through doctoral work.
In my program my supervisors did provide a certain amount of information about the peer-review process and specifically they were talking about the need to publish. They wanted us to be publishing and how they looked at our thesis and they said, "well, you can fillet it. I think I see four articles here." Well, I didn't have four articles in me. And then really within that context they were talking about that the process, the expectation of whether or not you will actually be accepted, taking the feedback that you receive and doing explicitly what is asked of you. Very similar to the process that you go through with your supervisors when you're writing your thesis. So that was kind of the lens they put on it. But then a more fulsome workshop I did attend was not within the program but at the European Conference on Information Literacy (ECIL). They had a stream there which was for doctoral students and there was a very specific workshop talking about the process. They had people up there who – they had a journal editor and people who had done peer review to talk about the process and some of what I said earlier about take heart, they're looking at it.
And the expectations. That was actually a really good session and the audience was all doctoral students so they were able to ask, the other people were a little more advanced with what they were publishing. That was really the extent of my experience. Really those two sets of conversations.
The ECIL was maybe two years ago now, so I don't really remember all the details, but it certainly made it clear to me what the process was at the time, which I hadn't necessarily been fully aware of or understanding how it happened. Obviously, my supervisors were advising from their personal experiences, which they had shared as far as submitting and undergoing peer review, and being peer reviewers themselves. So they did talk a little bit about that process. That was closer to when we were finishing up our program and they were encouraging us to think about publishing. But we were still trying to finish our theses so there's only so much you can think about.
Emily: I think it's interesting that you did have these opportunities. I've heard a lot of people had nothing. Even as a referee you mentioned that you had such clear guidelines. I've had so many people tell me "I have no idea what I was supposed to be doing. There were no guidelines" and personally I think that's when you get into these issues of reviewers being inappropriate or saying things that are inappropriate. I haven't heard very many stories of that in librarianship at all.
We're trying to learn and share in the scholarly conversation
That makes no sense. We're learning. We're trying to learn and share in the scholarly conversation so yes; your opinion matters, but it has to be about the material and whether it's furthering the conversation. And those were the conversations we had. Being recently in a program, you have to lose all of your ego about what you think, whether you write well, whether you're good at researching, whether you're communicating your topic appropriately, are you researching the right things. You really have to take the advice from the experts and learn to argue, too.
Emily: What do you think peer review should do or what should it be for? Why are we even doing it?
I do see the value in it because, even if we're working with others, we do bring a particular lens and we can have blinders on. So I think those points about okay, this is really a North American or American-centric topic. That doesn't apply to us. Well, that's not what my research said, so I think the point is that it encourages us to ensure that we are researching effectively, we are communicating effectively, we are adding to the conversation, and that we are testing and evaluating throughout—testing and pushing forward. The whole point is to ensure that we are contributing, and if we're not addressing the audiences effectively, if we have gaps, that's really what the reviewers should be pointing out because they bring those expert lenses to this and say "well wait a minute, that's all fine. What about this? Did you just not think to mention it? Did you miss that in your research?" I think those are the pieces that are more effective. Once published it'll stand up on the research under its own. Because otherwise it's back to that "this is my opinion, it's an opinion piece." Well, that's fine but then it has to be taken as such. I find it to be really helpful for developing learning and that's the learning from the author themselves. Learning from the experts.
Emily: So you see it as a conversation and as a learning opportunity. I wanted to go back a little bit to your experience where you reviewed and then you said you wish you had known what the review guidelines were when you were writing. While you were writing this book chapter, did your experience as a referee influence how you were writing at all or was there a relationship between those two now?
It certainly improved what I wrote and how I presented it.
That happened because the book chapter is basically a paper I presented so that was all right when I was I the midst. I think I'd already received my feedback, so I was definitely thinking about that when I wrote the paper and I felt much better that I had created a stronger paper to present at this conference because it was information for professionals and academics from all over Latin America and Mexico and some from the States as well. It certainly improved what I wrote and how I presented it. So that is why I'm curious to know what the reviews will be like because I made sure to take the international perspective and to look for those examples from research very broadly, but that would also speak to the Latin experience. So was there anything – no, but I found something in Spain, so I used that to help me focus on the particular audience and to be really focused on what was the topic of that particular conference. And so I kept thinking about that. I remember even what one of my supervisors said—and this was what I should have remembered before I submitted that other article—was, "well, says who? Yes, you refer here but depending on the type of journal or publication you need to continually reference, even if you've referenced it a few lines before. You have to be very specific and back up anytime you're making a statement." So it's exactly what I was doing in my thesis. I used that very much in my process for the writing for the paper that I presented. But I haven't seen any feedback yet.
Emily: Is writing and publishing part of your job expectation or is it simply an outgrowth of your doctoral program that you've continued to do this?
It's been an outgrowth. We're not publishing a lot in this province. There are certain people who do but it's not necessarily even part of the requirement. We're a teaching university. So, it's evolving and they have been. Many of them have done mostly conference presentations and they do have a fair bit of PD time like four weeks of PD time. But they'll have the option of doing research in the future soon or finding grants and doing research. It has not been part of our university historically. Many of the librarians are faculty. I'm not faculty, I'm an administrator. But I think it's really important to be leading and to encourage it—to lead this understanding within the university that we are all academics, and we are all contributing, and publishing and research are a form of my contribution. Many of my faculty present papers at conferences and do publish, but many do not. I just see it as a way of also modeling both for the people in my library, but at the university at large because my VP of Academics says "congratulations, I saw that you got those articles published and your expertise in your field." This is a way of also signaling to the rest of the university the library is part of the academic community, that we're part of our own scholarly conversations and that does overlap with what you are doing. So, those are some of the reasons why I've done that. And then it's been opportunity. It's not required.
Emily: Is it part of, for example, UBC culture for librarians to be researching and publishing?
I believe but I don't think everyone. I think they can choose how they wish to do their PD. They may not be officially part of the faculty association. They might have a particular status. Do you know what I mean? Research and non-research. When doing my research there isn't a lot – I notice that's the problem. There isn't a lot published in BC higher ed. No one is really required to do it.
I just don't think that's what inspires them. I find there are some librarians who are really engaged in particular topics and they are writing about student engagement or information literacy in particular. I think those are two biggies. Assessment. But there are a lot of librarians who are doing their collections work. They're interested in teaching. They've never been interested in doing research or in publishing. Like I said our librarians actually do a fair bit, but not everyone. But they do other things like they'll support conferences and they'll do much more practical types of activities and definitely workshops and sharing information that way. But it is kind of like our teaching faculty at our university. Many of them do research. Most do not. Pedagogy is what they're interested in.
There's expectation for professional development activities, but really faculty can choose what it is they wish to do. So, like I said there are always the keen ones and I think that's great because it's great for our reputation. It's great for their, whatever their career plans are as well. We'll never be that. That is our mandate – teaching, regional. But maybe teaching and learning like the scholarship of teaching and learning. That seems to be of interest to people so I can see evolution specifically in that research area.
Clear about process. I think that's the most important thing.

Home » Randstad Sourceright Insights » Forbes: returnships could help women back to work.

The economic fluctuations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic left millions of Americans out of work, but women were particularly impacted. Nearly 1.8 million women dropped out of the labor force amid the pandemic, and while job growth is now surging and economists predict that 2021 will be the best year for growth in almost four decades, women — especially low-income women and women of color — are struggling with how and when to go back to work.
The pandemic did not create this problem; growth in women's participation in the workforce has been stagnant since the turn of millennium. Women have held more jobs than men just twice in the last twenty years: in 2010 and in January 2020.
In her recent Forbes article, Rebecca Henderson, CEO of Randstad Global Businesses and executive board member suggests that employers and the federal government need to incentivize more women to get back in the job market with paid family leave, flexible work schedules, and remote working options to remedy this situation.
But even with these incentives, starting a new job can be daunting, especially for someone who has been out of work for a while, and many potential employees would relish an opportunity to refresh their skills, learn new ones, boost their experience, and expand their network before diving headfirst into a new career. A "returnship" — or career comeback program — ticks all of these boxes and gives employers the bonus of testing out a potential employee before they are brought on full time.

Boston's O'Malley: Pope prefers to talk love, not abortion
by Joshua J. McElwee
Pope Francis has not mentioned traditional hot-button Catholic issues like abortion because he prefers to emphasize that Catholics "love people" and are not "mean or old-fashioned," Boston Cardinal Sean O'Malley has said.
O'Malley, the only North American Francis asked to serve on a group of eight cardinals advising him on reforming the church, made the comments during a keynote address Tuesday in San Antonio at the annual convention of the Knights of Columbus.
"Some people think that the Holy Father should talk more about abortion," O'Malley told approximately 2,000 attendees, according to a copy of the remarks posted online.
"I think he speaks of love and mercy to give people the context for the Church's teaching on abortion," he continued. "We oppose abortion, not because we are mean or old fashioned, but because we love people. And that is what we must show the world."
O'Malley's focus on explaining the pope's lack of abortion talk may be seen by some as a reaction by the cardinal to recent reports that some American Catholics have been underwhelmed by the new pope's emphases, which have also not highlighted other more controversial Catholic teachings on issues like gay marriage or divorce and remarriage.
Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput alluded to such displeasure in an NCR interview last month, when he said the right wing of the church "generally have not been really happy about [Francis'] election."
The Knights, a U.S. fraternal organization open to Catholic males, are known both for wide-ranging charitable work and for holding a strict line around traditional Catholic teachings. Studies commissioned last fall found they donated substantially to campaigns across the country to oppose legalization of same-sex marriage.
O'Malley told their gathering Tuesday that Catholics "must be better people."
"We must love all people, even those who advocate abortion," O'Malley said. "It is only if we love them that we will be able to help them discover the sacredness of the life of an unborn child. Only love and mercy will open hearts that have been hardened by the individualism of our age."
O'Malley continues:
"Our efforts to heal the wounds of society will depend on our capacity to love and to be faithful to our mission. The Holy Father is showing us very clearly that our struggle is not just a political battle or a legal problem, but that we must evangelize and humanize the culture, then the world will be safe for the unborn, the elderly and the unproductive.
"The Gospel of Life is a Gospel of [m]ercy. If we are going to get a hearing in today's world, it will be because people recognize that authenticity of our lives and our dedication to building a civilization of love. We are called to live our lives as a service to others and commit our lives to give witness to the presence of God's love and mercy in our midst."
O'Malley is due to be in Rome for the first meeting of the group of eight cardinals from Oct. 1 -3. In announcing their mandate in April, the Vatican said the group is to advise the pope "on the government of the universal church."
The Knights are continuing their meeting through Thursday.
In his talk Tuesday, O'Malley also spoke of his 20 years working at a Spanish-speaking Catholic Center in the archdiocese of Washington, D.C.
His experience there, the cardinal said, "brought home to me how difficult it is to be an immigrant, to be a stranger in a strange land and experience countless humiliations and deprivations as one struggled to make enough money to feed one's children."
Saying he initially wanted to be a missionary, O'Malley said that missionaries today are needed in "the Western World where secularism and de-Christianization are gaining ground."
"This is the challenge of the New Evangelization," he continued. "It is much harder to preach the Gospel in a culture that seems to be vaccinated against the Faith, in our own country where so many Catholics have stormed off, dozed off or simply drifted away from the Church."
"Pope Francis is calling on all of us to be missionaries in our own communities," he said. "In this new millennium, business as usual is not enough. We must be a team of missionaries, moving from a maintenance mode to a missionary one."

A First Thought on Kagan
Words of welcome from a parish
Story follows two tracks
Pomp and Popery
Kudos to Maryknoll


Roar Women Coach Belinda Wilson says her squad must look within to ensure they are not intimidated when they travel to take on undefeated Westfield W-League leaders Melbourne City tomorrow.
Melbourne City have won five from five, netting 18 goals and conceding just three.
The Roar Women started strongly with two wins but have stumbled in their last two games – separated by a bye.
Wilson conceded the ask this weekend could not be much tougher for her girls to get their season back on track but knows they have the quality and commitment across the park to rise to the challenge.
She called on her players to be "more patient".
"We have to make better decisions on and off the ball," Wilson said.
"Keep our discipline and keep to task."
Wilson has no doubts the talented City players will ensure the Roar Women must focus on every aspect of their game.
"If we cheat (in applying ourselves to any task), we will be exploited," Wilson said.
"The challenge will be in midfield as both teams have international-standard players with plenty of experience."
"I am expecting a great game where both teams will need to be at their best to take the points."
Wilson yesterday named a 16-player squad (with one to be omitted) that welcomed back Gabe Marzano and Summer O'Brien.
Melbourne City will be without Matildas forward Lisa De Vanna, who is suspended.

Zhaire Smith Has Overcome the Sixers' Rookie Curse

True process-trusters are all too aware of the infamous rookie curse. Year after year the 76ers draft lucky, talented basketball players who unfortunately meet a painful fate.
The Rookie Curse
It all started in the 2013-14 season with Nerlens Noel. Noel missed the entire season because of a left knee injury. The following two seasons, Sixers all-star Joel Embiid recovered from a foot injury that delayed his pro basketball career. After Embiid, the team drafted Ben Simmons, who then missed an entire season — also due to a foot injury.
The following year, the 76ers drafted Markelle Fultz, one of the more disappointing stories in Sixers rookie history. He only played four games before injuring his shoulder. He missed 68 games during the 2017-18 season and was not in the playoff rotation.
Image via USA Today Sports
Fans anxiously awaited his return for the 2018-19 season. All they wanted was to see Fultz and his jump shot come back to life. Unfortunately, he didn't live up to Philadelphia's expectations. He suffered from yet another shoulder injury, at least supposedly, and remained out until he was traded to Orlando in February.
Zhaire Smith
This is where Zhaire Smith enters the picture. Soon after he was drafted, Smith suffered a simple foot injury, one that should've had a clear recovery path. However, Smith wasn't so fortunate, as he also suffered from an awful allergic reaction that nearly killed him. While in the hospital, Smith lost a ton of weight, was on a feeding tube, and could hardly function.
Almost no one knew what was going on with Smith. Fans even joked on social media throughout the season, asking if Zhaire Smith was alive. Little did they know, that question was perfectly valid. It wasn't until much later in the season that Smith began playing with the Delaware Bluecoats, the Sixers G-League affiliate team.
Smith made his first appearance with the Sixers against Orlando on March 25. The game resulted in a bad loss, but there was one small light at the end of the tunnel. Fans finally saw a few minutes of Zhaire, where his first career shot was a successful 3 pointer. He saw more and more minutes towards the end of the regular season. In the last regular season game Smith truly shined, posting 17 points, four rebounds and five assists.
According to NBC Sports Philadelphia's Serena Winters, Zhaire did 300 push ups every day in the hospital to rebuild some strength. Fans were shocked to see him play in an NBA game this year, especially after what they experienced with Markelle Fultz. Zhaire Smith's comeback was truly amazing and it'll be exciting to see what's in store for him in the future.

Artistic rendering of a planet's transmission spectrum.
Now scientists at MIT have developed a new technique for determining the mass of exoplanets, using only their transit signal — dips in light as a planet passes in front of its star. This data has traditionally been used to determine a planet's size and atmospheric properties, but the MIT team has found a way to interpret it such that it also reveals the planet's mass.
"With this method, we realized the planetary mass — a key parameter that, if missing, could have prevented us from assessing the habitability of the first potentially habitable Earth-sized planet in the next decade — will actually be accessible, together with its atmospheric properties," says Julien de Wit, a graduate student in MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences.
De Wit is lead author on a paper published today in the journal Science, with co-author Sara Seager, the Class of 1941 Professor of Physics and Planetary Science.
In addition to a planet's composition, its mass can provide a glimpse of the planet's surface and internal activity.
Using large telescopes such as the NASA's Spitzer or Hubble space telescopes, scientists have been able to analyze the transmission spectra of newly discovered exoplanets. A transmission spectrum is generated as a planet passes in front of its star, letting some light through its atmosphere. By analyzing the wavelengths of light that pass through, scientists can determine a planet's atmospheric properties, such as its temperature and the density of atmospheric molecules. From the total amount of light blocked, they can calculate a planet's size.
To determine the mass of an exoplanet using transmission spectroscopy, de Wit relied on the effect that a planet's mass has on its atmosphere, as transmission spectra give information on a planet's atmospheric properties. To do that, he worked from a standard equation describing the effect of a planet's temperature, gravitational force, and atmospheric density on its atmospheric pressure profile — the extent to which pressure changes throughout its atmosphere.
According to this equation, knowing any three of these parameters would reveal the fourth parameter. As a planet's mass can be derived from its gravitational force, de Wit reasoned that a planet's mass could be derived from its atmospheric temperature, pressure profile, and density — parameters that, in principle, may be obtained from a transmission spectrum.
But to get an accurate measurement of a planet's mass, de Wit had to prove that these three parameters could be obtained independently of each other, solely from a transmission spectrum.
To prove that a planet's temperature, pressure profile, and atmospheric density may be derived independently from a transmission spectrum, de Wit had to demonstrate that each parameter has a distinctive effect on a transmission spectrum. De Wit performed new analytical derivations from the first principles of radiative transfer, and found that an 18th-century mathematical constant called the Euler-Mascheroni constant helps to reveal the individual effects of each parameter. In other words, this constant acted as an "encryption key" to decode the process by which the properties of a planet's atmosphere are embedded in its transmission spectrum.
To test the method, de Wit applied the technique to a recently discovered exoplanet, known as 189733b, that is located 63 light-years away. From his calculations, de Wit came up with the same mass measurement as that obtained by others using radial velocity.
Using the specifications of future high-resolution space telescopes, such as the James Webb Space Telescope — an instrument designed to study exoplanetary atmospheres — the authors showed that the new technique will be able to characterize the mass and atmospheric properties of smaller, Earth-sized planets.
Mark Swain, a research scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, says the group's new technique will be very helpful in determining the composition, and ultimately the habitability, of Earth-like planets.
