Kalil Applewhite: From a Dark Day to a Brighter Future
In December 2017, Kalil Applewhite's brother went out from his home in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, to cash a check so he could go Christmas shopping. He never returned. When Kalil found out his brother was shot and killed, he was devastated.
"I spent most of the next year and more doing nothing. Not working. Not helping out at home. Just sitting around in my bitterness. I was stuck in one place," says Kalil, 22.

Louis Bruton Finds His Voice
As a child of parents who were in the Army, Louis Bruton was always on the move. Born in the Netherlands, he relocated to Oklahoma when in grade school with his mother and sister to live among extended family. By middle school, he moved again: this time, to Mt. Vernon. When his mother lost her job, and was faced with the prospect of moving into a homeless shelter, she sent Bruton back to Oklahoma to attend high school.
Catherine Hernandez-Navarro: 'I Can Finally Breathe'
Born in Honduras, Catherine Hernandez-Navarro was adopted by a family in Westchester County, and grew up in the town of Ardsley. School wasn't easy, she says: she had an academic disability and worked with many tutors over the years.
While her classmates made post-high school plans, she did too. She thought she wanted to study forensic science, and enrolled at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City. At the same time, she ventured out on her own, moving out of the family home she'd been in for 18 years.
Gregory Gordon: From Side Hustle to Seeing the Future
After graduating from Lincoln High School in Yonkers, Gregory Gordon began classes at Westchester Community College (WCC). He lasted less than a year.
"I wasn't motivated then; I wasn't thinking about my future," admits Gordon, now 26. He began working in a series of what he calls "side hustles."
Julian Jackson: From College Dropout to a Ten-Year Plan
Julian Jackson grew up in a tight-knit family, with parents who supported him and made education a priority. He attended Mount Saint Michael Academy in the Bronx, and went on to Delaware State University, a historically black college in Dover, DE. During his second semester at the university, he broke his leg. He left the school, and never went back.
Closing the Skills Gap Must be A Priority
A Talent Shortage is a Real Problem, But it Can be Addressed
By Thom Kleiner
Amazon's decision to locate one of its two new headquarters in Long Island City - bringing with it 25,000 jobs - will be welcomed by job seekers and their families throughout the metro New York City area. In fact, the demand for workers overall is reaching historic highs. Yet many job seekers will miss out on the employment boom because they lack basic skills necessary to compete in the New Economy.
Jamar Clarke: From College Dropout to Future Digital Marketer
This is the second post in our "Reach Your Potential" series, which features individuals from our Jobs Waiting TechHire program.
Jamar Clarke had it made in the shade. A graduate of Pelham Prep in the Bronx, he applied for, and received, a full scholarship to the University of Vermont. He was focused on pursuing a high-income career in engineering.
But the adjustment to campus life proved more difficult than he anticipated. A move so far from his parents —while he was still grieving the loss of his sister a year before—was too much. He dropped out after one semester.
Reach Your Potential with Jobs Waiting #Goals
Dream big. Get ready for your future.
Many times, looking for work poses challenges. If you have a limited work history, or can't get to a job because you lack transportation or child care, or if you don't have the basic skills needed, you may find it difficult to get ahead.
What you may not realize is that this is a growing problem for thousands of people in our region. The underemployment rate for recent high school graduates is 25 percent, higher than a decade ago, according to the Economic Policy Institute. That means that you may be having difficulty finding full-time work — or are working in jobs where your skills are underutilized.
From Jewelry Sales to Healthcare Human Services: How Jobs Waiting Helped a Laid Off Worker Find a New Career
In the early 2000s, Keisha White enjoyed her job coordinating sales for a NYC jewelry manufacturer, JewelAmerica. She learned about the industry, worked hard, and was promoted three times. Then, in 2008, the Great Recession hit. Her company was acquired and she was laid off.
"It got really hard," White recalls. "I had a baby. I looked for jobs. I became certified as a nursing assistant but couldn't find work. At one point, my kids and I were evicted from my apartment because I could not find a job."
Deepti Mannan, Dutchess County
Although she was a medical doctor of ayurvedic medicine and surgery in her native India, Deepti Mannan's educational background was not equivalent to the level required to become a physician in the United States. So, when she moved from India to Queens, New York, nine years ago, she took a position as a nursing assistant to begin her healthcare career in the United States.
Then she took some time off from working while she had two children (now ages six and three) and also completed an online billing and coding certification program through the American Health Information Management Association. After her family settled in Poughkeepsie, Mannan was ready to look for work again.
Jobs Waiting Celebrates 300th Hire and Promotes Incentives for Business
After being out of work for over a year, Maribel Valencia-Barajas has a new job as a medical assistant/medical records specialist at Westchester Neurological Consultants in Yonkers. Her position is all thanks to Jobs Waiting, a federally-funded regional job training partnership which trains long-term and short-term unemployed individuals for jobs in the region's fastest growing sectors. Valencia-Barajas is the 300th individual to obtain employment through the program, a milestone announced June 18, 2018, by Westchester County Executive George Latimer at a press conference in White Plains.
What's the Secret of 'Upskilling' Your Employees? Turn to Jobs Waiting.
Talent! That's what employers are clamoring for. Now, with unemployment levels dropping, the pressure is on in every business sector to find and keep talent.
But it's not just about finding talent, it's also about keeping it in today's competitive marketplace.
So when six Hudson Valley human services agencies seeking to strengthen their local workforce heard about Jobs Waiting's training incentives, they immediately applied.
Nine Things You Should Never Do When Applying for a Job
Throughout the job application process, recruiters are measuring much more than your work experience. From the moment you submit your resume, all eyes are on the way you present yourself: on paper, in person, online, and on the phone.
To find out what behaviors are a turnoff—and what might stop candidates from advancing in the hiring process—we chatted with two recruiters from Crystal Run Healthcare, a healthcare provider that has hired Jobs Waiting graduates in locations throughout the Hudson Valley.
Five Soft Skills Hudson Valley Employers Want You to Have
Education, training, certifications, and advanced degrees are all important credentials to get your foot in the door. But employers also place a high value on "soft skills."
From taking initiative and thinking on your feet, to clearly communicating and showing empathy, these hard-to-measure qualities are of critical importance to employers.
In fact, a recent report by iCIMS Hiring Insights finds that 75 percent of recruiters have ended an interview because a candidate didn't show the soft skills they were looking for.
Life Begins at 62 for an Entrepreneur After Being Laid Off
Kathy Sheehan loved her job as coordinator of the Coalition on Elder Abuse. She helped seniors who were victims of physical, emotional, and financial abuse. And with a network of partner agencies, she planned and staged several "World Elder Abuse Day" conferences. She connected victims to critical community resources, and was passionate about her work.
Then, after eight years, funding for the program, which was run through her employer, the Mediation Center of Dutchess County, was cut. Suddenly, she was out of a job. It was devastating.
Looking to Change Careers?
Here's One Woman's Story to Inspire You
After working at the same company for decades, changing careers was a daunting reality for Mary Ann Longano. She found herself out of work after being let go from Nabisco, where for 30 years she worked in word processing, marketing, and eventually, as a project manager in information technology. When the company made the decision to move her department overseas, she was laid off.
In the meantime, her family had moved from New Jersey to the Hudson Valley in New York and she had to find work.

Jeffrey Rex Bertelsen Best of I'm Jeffrey Rex, Dagobah Day, Movie Reviews, Reviews, Star Wars Reviews December 15, 2016 November 23, 2022 8 Minutes
In 2015, J. J. Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens proudly announced that the good Star Wars was finally back. Gone are the days of the disappointing and operatic George Lucas prequels. With The Force Awakens, Lucasfilm proved that the future of the Star Wars saga – the episodes – were in good hands. But what about the untold stories of the prequels? To answer several unanswered questions Lucasfilm will give us these spin-off films that they call 'Star Wars stories.'
Rogue One is the very first of these 'stories' and it comes from the mind of John Knoll – the visual effects supervisor of such films as The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith. It takes place between Episode III and Episode IV and is designed to begin to fill in the gap between the two George Lucas trilogies. Here we have a film that essentially tries to explain the opening crawl from 1977's Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope in greater detail.
Rogue One isn't just the first 'Star Wars story,' it is also the very first of these major blockbusters to be without an opening crawl. This, I feel, is extremely important to mention in a review as I don't believe Lucasfilm and Disney have done a great job of informing casual Star Wars fans of the film. This isn't Episode VIII. BB-8 isn't in this one.
This is a war movie unlike anything else you've seen in the Star Wars series of films. This is about the Empire and the Rebel Alliance. It highlights elements of both the Empire and the Rebel Alliance that haven't been detailed in previous films. The Rebel Alliance isn't just good, and there are good people working for the Empire.
I was a little bit worried about this film, and it was pretty difficult not to be. It wasn't because of the director – Gareth Edwards – whose previous blockbuster film – Godzilla – wasn't my cup of tea. I had a lot of faith in the director's ability to make a great Star Wars film based on a story by John Knoll and Gary Whitta and a screenplay by Tony Gilroy and Chris Weitz. But while news of reshoots don't normally scare me away from a film, it was hard not to notice the rumored problems with the film. I, honestly, grew tired of it all. Thankfully, I am happy with the final product here. I really like Rogue One.
Rogue One follows Jyn Erso (played by Felicity Jones) – the daughter of a respected scientist who has been forced to work for the Empire (Galen Erso, played by Mads Mikkelsen) – after the Rebel Alliance breaks her out of a cell. Jyn is a troublemaker and she's not interested in working for the Empire or the Rebel Alliance at first, but when she learns the truth about her father's whereabouts she decides to lead a mission to retrieve the plans to the dreaded Death Star.
In general, I believe it was a huge mistake not to include opening crawls in spin-off films, but Rogue One proves my point: there's a lot to explain in the first act, and an opening crawl would've made it easier for audiences to understand where and when it takes place, what characters we're following, and it would've just been nice to have an opening crawl – something that has become a major part of the Star Wars brand – to reintroduce us to the days of Darth Vader and Mon Mothma.
You don't get an opening crawl in Rogue One, but you still get the 'A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…' line but it leads us straight into the opening scene. There is a title screen but it doesn't appear on sceen until after the conclusion of an opening scene that introduces us to the Erso family, and the title card itself was very underwhelming and unimpressive compared to the awesome classic and grandiose opening of a regular Star Wars saga episode.
Unlike all of the saga episodes that have been made at the time of writing, Rogue One's musical score wasn't composed by the legendary John Williams. Originally, Alexandre Desplat was supposed to compose the score, but he had to suddenly drop out, apparently, due to the reshoots changing the post-production schedule.
Michael Giacchino replaced Desplat, but he supposedly didn't have a long time to finish the musical score. I think that might've impacted what he ultimately adds to the film, but I think his musical score was fine. There isn't a new song that you're going to hum as you walk out of the theater, and he doesn't overuse the classic themes.
Now, let's continue to talk about some of my issues with Rogue One. Obviously, the thing I'm most upset about is the lack of an opening crawl, but I have other issues with the film. Without spoiling anything, I will say that the film rushes from location to location in the first act. I really feel like I needed some of these scenes to breathe a little bit more, if that makes any sense. I think the film would've worked a little bit better in the first act if it didn't hop around as much as it does.
While I enjoy both of the first two acts of the film, I do think they're both somewhat problematic. I do think that the film suffers from pacing issues, but, as I'll get to a little bit later, I think that the third and final act saves the film somewhat and makes Rogue One a much more memorable experience to go through.
I think the one element of the film that most people will be criticizing is the new CG-recreation of two characters that play important parts in the film universe at the time the film takes place. It's tough to really discuss these characters without going into spoilers, but I will say, at least, one of these CG characters had to be in the film. You'll know exactly what characters I'm talking about when you see the film (characters that have appeared in the film series before), and hopefully their new CG-look won't bother you too much.
I also think there are some general problems with the central characters here. One of the greatest strengths of 2015's The Force Awakens was the strength of the new characters. People love Rey, Finn, Poe, and while people hate Kylo for what he did in that film, people like that character a lot. However, I don't know if you'll truly love a new character that is introduced in this film.
I think the Erso family is really interesting and cool. I think Felicity Jones does a really good job with Jyn, and I loved Mads Mikkelsen in Rogue One too. While I like Diego Luna, I didn't immediately warm to Cassian Andor, even though I do think his character adds a lot to our understanding of the Rebel Alliance. Even some of the characters that I think work really well – like Cassian Andor but also Chirrut Îmwe and Baze Malbus – don't get a lot of backstories here. We don't learn enough about them here. Their stories are destined to be told in comic books and novels.
I liked what Ben Mendelsohn was doing with his character. Mendelsohn's Krennic isn't particularly memorable, but I think he's an interesting addition to the universe because of the way he interacts with characters that fans already know and love. Saw Gerrera, which wasn't a completely new character to the universe, is played by Forest Whitaker here, and I don't think he does a good job – I don't know what accent he's doing, but it didn't work for me. The standout characters that aren't from other films are the droid K-2SO (voiced by Alan Tudyk), Donnie Yen's Chirrut Îmwe, and the two prominent Erso's – Felicity Jones' Jyn and Mads Mikkelsen's Galen.
And that brings me to what I really loved about the film, and at the top of my list of positives is the fact that Disney took a risk here. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is a really dark film. That doesn't mean that it isn't fun to watch, but sometimes blockbuster films can be a little bit too jokey. There are jokes in Rogue One, but the jokes aren't what you'll remember about this film.
You'll remember that odd mix of hope and dread that the film ends with. You'll also remember the thrilling third act that includes some of the most exciting action and war scenes in the entire franchise. A great space battle, heartstopping action on the ground, and a mission that becomes more and more dangerous for our rebels as every second goes by.
Now, if you've been watching the trailers or tv-spots for Rogue One, then you probably noticed that one of the most iconic movie villains makes an appearance. Darth Vader is in Rogue One. However, I feel that I need to warn you or – at the very least – I feel like you should know what to expect. Darth Vader isn't in this film for a very long time. Don't expect to see him a lot. However, when you do see the Dark Lord of the Sith, you get some really memorable, breathtaking and haunting scenes. Those are the scenes that I was thinking about as I walked out of the movie theater.
One of the things that I wanted this film to try to do was to improve the experience of watching the original trilogy. I didn't expect the film to manage to do it, but I actually think A New Hope is improved by the information given in Rogue One. It fixes a major problem that most people have with A New Hope and adds a lot of meaning to your understanding of the Rebel Alliance. Similarly, I also think that this makes not just the Empire, but also Darth Vader a lot more terrifying.
There are a lot of easter eggs in Rogue One, and while there were times when I thought some fan-service moments were a bit too obvious and overplayed, there are so many other moments when I was grinning from ear to ear because of these references to the classic original trilogy that I love so much.
I know people want this question answered: is Rogue One better than The Force Awakens? Honestly, I don't believe so. I know a lot of people believe The Force Awakens is dangerously overfamiliar, but I do think that film is a better film than what we have here, even though I really like Rogue One.
It is impossible for me to not review this film as a fan. Maybe it would be easier for me with another franchise, but Star Wars means a lot to me – more than it does to a lot of people, I'd imagine – so, in the end, I'm going to give this film a higher score than I imagine a casual fan would give it. Keep that in mind. However, I do believe I've managed to explain the problems that I have with this film, even though those issues won't be as problematic for me as they might be for others.
Should a film be 'just for the fans?' No, definitely not. I don't believe so. But Star Wars is such a big part of western popular culture that I hope most audiences will understand and let themselves get caught up in the lovely world of Star Wars. But I really don't think this is a great starting point for newcomers to the franchise. I imagine that they would be lost here.
For better or worse, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is for the die-hard fans. The people that rewatch their favorite Star Wars film every year – or every film multiple times every year. The fans that enjoy learning about the universe the Jedi inhabit, even when there are no Jedi present to keep them entertained.

Finally, someone else who thought the easter eggs were a little much (it didn't help I was sitting next to a superfan who kept whispering the characters' names out loud).
I agree that there were pacing issues, and the first act was basically a tour of multiple locations with no context. The third act was better, but not caring about the characters prevented me from really getting into the action.
Yeah, I thought the shot of Ponda Baba and Evazan took way too long. With those cameos it felt like the filmmakers were holding on that shot and winking at everyone watching the film. It was fun seeing those characters, but that scene wasn't handled well, I thought.
There are other cameos and easter eggs that were handled much better, but yeah maybe a bit too much fan-service here.
And how did they escape Jeddah to end up in Mos Eisley a few weeks later?!
Good question. I don't know.
I'm sure it'll be explained in a comic book or, maybe, the novelization of the film in the future. That doesn't help the film, though.

iPhone offers options for visually impaired
Nick Francesco
I have an iPhone 6. I would like to love it. But I am visually impaired. Can I make the text bigger? None of my friends can help me. Thank you.
— Maria, Rochester
You may need to get someone to help you set it up, Maria, but you certainly can enlarge the text on your iPhone 6. Go to Settings, select General, then select Accessibility, then select Larger Type. There you will find a slider that can let you set the size of the font that best works for you.
Also in Accessibility, you can set the iPhone to read text to you rather than having to read it yourself. In that same Accessibility setting, you will find Speak Screen. Pages will be read back to you. Frankly, this works OK in text messaging; not so much in some other apps.
That Accessibility section holds a lot more interesting features. Increasing contrast often helps the visually impaired. Setting the LED to flash on Alerts means you don't have to read the screen to know an Alert has arrived.
To save you Android users from having to ask, you'll find your accessibility settings in the same place: Settings > Accessibility. Talkback gives verbal, audio, and vibration cues for visually impaired users by acting as a built-in screen reader. Captions will enable system-wide closed captioning, allows videos to conform to the user's preferences on caption style/size when applicable. Magnification will let you triple-tap to zoom in or out, and triple-tap and hold to magnify what was under your finger. Useful for older users or for use with apps that don't scale well on smaller devices, like Vudu. Large Text is pretty self-explanatory. Note that some of these came with Android 5.0, so those of you still on 4 might be missing some of these.
I recently bought a Chromebook, and I love it! But I'd like to be able to take screenshots. Do you know of an app or extension or something that can let me do that?
— Marty, East Rochester
I can do you one better, Marty; screenshots are built into your Chromebook! As you know, Chromebooks don't have regular function keys. Instead, they have special keys across the top of the keyboard. The sixth one from the left looks like a square with two lines on the right. That's the "switch window" key. If you have more than one window open, that one will switch between them, just like Alt-Tab will. If you hold the Control (ctrl) key down while you press that key, it will take a screenshot. If you also hold down the Shift key, it will let you take a screenshot of just a region of the screen.
Actually, there are a whole lot of keyboard shortcuts available to you. You can read about them all over the Internet, but you can also hold the Control (ctrl) and Alt (alt) keys while you hit / (slash). That will open an interactive on-screen keyboard. You can see some keyboard shortcuts right on that screen, but you can also hold down any combination of Control, Alt, Shift, and Search to see what else is available. Have fun!
I hate Windows 8. How's that Windows 10 thing coming along?
— Bob, Rochester
The short answer is "Fine." The long answer is "Oddly, I don't run Microsoft, so who knows?"
There is a Windows 10 Technical Preview available, but it comes as-is, with absolutely no help or support of any kind. It's early beta code, and guaranteed to be buggy. Expect many crashes and lost data.
But Microsoft's programmers are working every day toward an initial release. It's possible that it could launch as early as June 2015, but that's purest conjecture on anyone's part. It's likely that, even if that's the target date, there will be delays. And, of course, traditional wisdom says you don't want to be the first one to install it!
And, let's start now understanding what you'll be doing once it's released. It'll probably run in 2G of RAM, but it's going to be sluggish and unsatisfying. 4G should be a minimum to run it acceptably, and 8G would be better. And please, please, please make sure you've got a good backup (or two!) of your data before you install it. Of course, you should be doing that regularly anyway. Right?


Attorney Wants Search for Latisha Frazier's Body | Homicide Watch D.C. | Mark every death. Remember every victim. Follow every case.
An attorney for Brian Gaither, suspected of first-degree murder in the death of Latisha Frazier, is seeking to compel authorities to search for Frazier's body, believed to be in a Richmond landfill.
Eugene Ohm, representing Gaither at a felony status conference Friday morning, said physical evidence contained on Frazier's remains could determine whether his client be charged with first degree murder or manslaughter.
Gaither is one of six people accused in the brutal and deadly assault of 18-year-old Latisha Frazier in August 2010. Frazier, a young mother, was reported missing and she has not been found. Five of the six defendants have admitted to police that they participated in the attack on Frazier.
Prosecutors allege that Frazier was at defendant Johnnie Sweets' apartment in Southeast D.C. on Aug. 1, 2010 when she was last seen alive. After being invited into a back bedroom in the apartment, Frazier was beaten, stomped on and choked, bound by her legs, her mouth taped shut, and her head covered before she was eventually "thrown" into a closet, prosecutors allege.
At issue specifically is the type of hold allegedly used to restrain Frazier, according to the defendant's accounts to police, Ohm said. If the hold is determined to be a "sleeper hold," also called a "blood choke," that would be grounds for a manslaughter charge; if it is a "choke hold," also called an "air choke," that could be a first degree murder charge, Ohm said.
"The best piece of evidence to determine that is the decedent's body," Ohm told Judge William Jackson. He urged the court to move quickly to secure Frazier's remains, citing the warming weather's quickening effects on decomposition.
"Timing is of the essence here," Ohm said.
In a Washington Post article today, MPD Police Chief Cathy Lanier said that Frazier's remains were likely buried "at a minimum of 70 feet" deep in the landfill. The search would take at least six months and cost more than $1 million, according to Lanier and the report.
Government prosecutors asked Ohm to put his request in writing, but attorney Chris Kavanaugh, on behalf of the government, said he wasn't sure what the government's "legal obligation" to a search is.
Defendants Johnnie Sweets, 17; Cinthya Proctor, 18; Anneka Nelson, 16; Laurence Hassan, 23; and Brian Gaither, 23 have all waived their rights to a preliminary hearing. A sixth defendant, Lanee Bell, 17, has been arrested on suspicion of Felony Murder (Kidnapping) in the case.

Ten years of NIHR research training: who got an award? A retrospective cohort study
Principal findings
The key predictors of application success were: the award level and type of programme applied to, and the applicant's previous experience of having had an award. One characteristic of the host institution was important: applications from institutions with, or associated with, a medical school were more likely to be successful. After adjusting for factors such as having a medical school, applications from GT and RG institutions were not found to be more successful than those from other institutions, and applications from HEIs were found to be less successful than those from NHS Trusts and other organisations. Differences in success rate according to the professional background of the applicant were only apparent in the classification tree modelling: in the subgroup of applications for senior awards from people who had not previously held an NIHR award, AHPs and other HPs fared better than medics, who in turn fared better than nurses/midwives, non-HPs and some other groups. It was notable that gender was not a predictor of success in any of the analyses.
This paper reports analyses of a well-maintained administrative dataset which contained information on a number of factors potentially associated with award success. In interpreting the study results, it is important to be aware that the dataset necessarily reflects the eligibility characteristics of the award schemes in operation over the 10-year period: some awards (especially at predoctoral level) were only open to some types of applicant; some awards (especially those combining research with clinical practice) could only be held in certain types of institution; and not all schemes were open for the full 10-year duration of this study. These eligibility criteria particularly affect the interpretation of the classification tree results, and merit further consideration because of their potential policy implications. For example, particular care is needed when eligibility criteria constrain the factors which might differentiate within one subgroup but not within another; for example, within the large group of early career researchers, where association with a medical school appears to be less relevant to success for applicants to the ICA and IAT schemes than for applicants to the NIHR Fellowship scheme. Such a conclusion would, however, be unjustified because nearly all the ICA and IAT awards—but not the NIHR Fellowship awards—are held in institutions associated with a medical school, reducing the potential for within-group distinction on that basis.
Over and beyond formal eligibility considerations, potential predictive factors were found not to be independent of each other; but this was expected and addressed to a substantive extent by the regression modelling and classification tree. However, more subtle selection effects (eg, who got put forward for which award and by what kind of host institution) are also likely to have been in operation and these cannot be examined using routinely collected administrative data. Other published research (eg, Burns et al4) which uses a similar kind of data source has indicated the same kinds of interpretive limitations.
The inherent variability of classification tree modelling should also be considered when interpreting the potential predictive factors identified in our analyses. As a form of multivariable analysis, the classification tree method is dependent on the parameters selected and the values of the input variables. Selection of different parameters and input variables may result in a slightly different tree structure; there is an interdependence between the input variable, model parameters and the output variables.10 The parameters selected in our classification tree analysis were based on a pragmatic approach to obtaining robust and interpretable summaries of the data. As each node and branch of the tree is an element of knowledge about the relationship between the output variable (award success) and the input (predictor) variables, our intention was to construct a tree with sufficient detail to identify the main effects, without over complicating the interpretation of the results.
Previous research has tended to be designed around specific potential predictors of success, such as gender, or specific subgroups of applicants such as clinical academics. For example, Waisbren et al,5 Brown et al3 and Burns et al4 all focused on gender differences in grant funding. This study was broader ranging and employed two different analytic approaches to minimise the likelihood of misinterpreting the findings. By contrast with other published work, including Burns et al,4 in this dataset and using these analytical approaches, no direct association was found between gender and award success. The success rate for male and female applications was equitable (22% vs 21%, table 2). However, in similarity with Waisbren et al5 we observed that the numbers of applications made by males and females explained differences in the numbers of awards made at different seniority levels.
The distribution of medical schools helped explain differences in success rates between types of host institution often considered to be of higher or lower status. It has long been assumed research intensive universities, such as those within the RG or GT, are at an advantage at securing NIHR funding.1 However, our modelling has shown that the disparity in research funding across HIE groups is explained by the presence of an associated medical school. This is reasonable given that the premise of the NIHR is to support applied health and care research within the UK National Health Service (NHS).
Finally, the available dataset was limited in terms of the available applicant demographic data. Applicant data on ethnicity, age, full time/part time, and use of RDS support is not routinely collected at application stage and was therefore not available for analysis. Similarly, applications are judged individually and are therefore not routinely categorised into topic areas and types of research at the application stage. While the findings of this report suggests that funding applications for NIRH Academy personal awards are treated equitably, further scrutiny of application success by additional applicant factors and topic areas would support the development of future funding strategies.
Implications of the findings
Overall, the evidence suggests the NIHR Academy succeeded in its objective of treating all applications equitably. Factors associated with type of award (seniority level and type of programme) were the most important predictors of success, together with a specific characteristic of the host institution (ie, association with a medical school). Success rates did not differ according to the gender of the applicant, and applications from doctors were not more likely to be successful than applications from other professions.
There were some specific circumstances in which combinations of personal characteristics did seem to be relevant: among applicants who had not held a previous award, the success rate of applications for the more senior awards differed according to the applicant's professional background, AHPs/other HPs being more successful than the other groups. Taken together, these findings suggest an essential fairness in how the quality of a submitted application is assessed, but they also raise questions about variation in the opportunity to submit a high-quality application.
Nevertheless, it must be acknowledged that there are likely to be factors associated with funding success that we did not have access to. For example, this study cannot address the question of how the presence of a medical school improves the likelihood of success of an application. We also cannot know to what extent host institutions provide support and mentoring for preparing an application. The companion study, however, by using a qualitative methodology, does identify some candidate mechanisms, and taken together, the two sets of findings provide valuable insight as to how research capacity development initiatives might be targeted in the future.
Other studies have found that some topic areas and types of research are more likely to find favour with funders than other areas. In addition, we were unable to evaluate variation in application success by applicant factors such as ethnicity, age or institution factors such as access to RDS support. It was not possible to examine the role of these variables in the present study, and they represent a gap which future research should seek to rectify. The relationship between applicant gender, award seniority and application outcome (funded/rejected) should be further explored and evaluated within the context of national gender distribution by seniority to identify the inflection point where applications for personal fellowship awards from women drop below the median. In the longer term, the impact of any initiatives prompted by the present study findings would need to be evaluated.

Who The Prim Girl is

Print-cess Mary Katrantzou
Mary Katrantzou walked into the room wearing head to toe black. For a woman whose fashion designs are known for pioneering bright, fussy, intricate and vivid print, I was kinda surprised that she was dressed so plainly. I liked the contrast though between the images her name conjures up and the simple dark silhouette she commands when in front of you. I went to 'An Evening with Mary Katrantzou' at the Fashion and Textile Museum, as with the talk by Pat Albeck, this was a small informal group and Mary chatted about her career in fashion design. She spoke of how happy she was that finally print in fashion was shifting and evolving and women were becoming more open to wearing print as well as all black. When questioned why she herself was dressed in all black, Mary replied 'All year round I wear the same, a black A-line skirt and a black long sleeved top, I'm known for it, I am not known for wearing print. When you are constantly creating and working with colour and print, you need a plain uniform to counterbalance it. My flat is as plain as it gets, all white walls and wooden floors, nothing else.' I like this, I think it would be pretty crazy if her whole life, every aspect, was about prints and colour, the dissimilarity between her work and home life must keep her sane.
Greek born, Mary studied in the USA at Rhode Island School of Design and then went on to St Martins where she completed her BA and MA. Her original interest was in architecture, then fabric, and then she moved into fashion. 'Once you start working with the body, a 3D figure- everything changes. You never know how a pattern will look and change on the figure, the way it swings, the way pleats hang..' she seemed to have been really fascinated by how her print designs could take on a whole new form through shape and movement. Once you work with the female figure 'you become a fashion designer'.
Mary's fashion designs are all about print, when she first started, it was stilll early days of digital print, she taught herself Photoshop and still, today, it is the only programme she uses. In her Graduation show, she had 9 dresses, all identical in silhouette but with different intricate and bold prints. Mary confesses that she is not able to pattern cut herself, she works completely on the model. Her interest in architecture comes into play as she adds the fabric to the model, shapes it so that it flatters and hangs as she wants it to, her dresses have a real sculpted, and architectural element.
Mary loves women, she knows women and she designs for women. She chatted about one of her earlier collections where she took items that women coveted but couldn't physically wear, like perfume bottles or vases and put them in print form on a dress, enabling the woman to wear what she loves in a new form. I love this concept. It has a real tongue in cheek element as well as being utterly beautiful in itself. Some of her dresses are pretty surreal and abstact, quite sci-fi too. But, a woman after my own heart she says, 'It should be as viable to make a dress a woman can treasure and collect and wear once, as it should be to make a dress a woman can wear 500 times'. Oh yes, dresses aren't always things to be worn over and over, they can be purely an object to love and adore for it's form and beauty.
Three of Mary's dresses were on display for us to look at; the first is a really cute and kinda futuristic sculpted shape, different sections and fabrics with contrasting prints, she told how her inspiration was to take elements of ornamentation from different countries and cultures; tapestries, florals, vases, and put then all in one dress……very gorgeous and pretty wearable too.
This next dress has so many elements, the mixed layers of raffia, silk, canvas and beading mixed with the different prints make it a really stunning piece…
This last dress is my favourite, plush velvet with different prints, the colours are really vivid and Swarovski jewels have been hand-applied to excentuate the colurs…beautiful!
Twas a lovely few hours looking at lovely dresses with some lovely people, Mary said how thrilled she is that her dresses are worn by women from ages 25 to 65, 'and they all wear them equally well'.

In Conversation With Pat Albeck
'There was a crusade to get rid of bouquets and chintzy prints on beige or fawn backgrounds.' Pat Albeck
What a lucky girl I was to be able to attend the Fashion and Textile Museum when they had an evening with Pat Albeck. A small group of us got to listen to her talk intimately about her life in textile design, a real treat indeed. I had an awareness of Pat's work, most notably her designs for Horrockses dresses in the 1950's, I adore Horrockses and their iconic printed dresses so I was fascinated from the start. Her informal chattiness was lovely, now in her 80's, Pat was dressed in her favourite bright orange and was really keen to dig into her memories for us all….
Pat Albeck, British textile designer, born in 1930, grew up with a love of design and decor. She was unsure what direction to take in life and went to study at art school in Hull where her family were based, she said she felt that all the other students were much better illustrators than her, she preferred to work with patterns and colour. She then got into the Royal College of Art, London. Her Father, luckily, had known the Principle there, she clearly felt she was not worthy of this place at the college as she remembered a critic once saying 'even the Royal College makes mistakes'. One of her predecossors being the now iconic designer Lucienne Day, Pat's time at RCA was around that of the Festival of Britain and designers wanted to revolutionize textile design. She said that she now believes she was at the college at the best possible time. Pat and her contemporaries wanted a new look to design, to move onwards from the floral cutesy and safe prints of earlier pre-war years. 'I was very influenced by the new ideas in furnishing textiles from Scandinavia and the fashion fabrics from France and Italy'. This modern approach was an extremely exciting and pivotal movement in the design ideas of the 1950's.
Pat loves flowers, she felt other designers could deconstruct flowers and strip them of their petals, making for abstract designs, she prefered to draw them more realistically whilst still in a new way. I got the impression from her talking that she felt inferior to some of the other designers at the time, 'I think poeople thought, she's ok but very commercial' she said. I think her work was as relevant and as new, but came from a slightly different and possibly more feminine angle than the likes of Lucienne Day and Marian Mahler.
In 1952, Horrockses designer James Cleveland Belle was visiting the RCA looking for talented students to work with him, he discovered Pat. Pat had been focusing her studies on furnishing fabrics, since fashion fabrics had been considered somewhat ephemeral at the time. Pat said she never thought of clothes as fashion, 'I just thought of it as a new dress'. Pat recalled owning a Horrockses dress when she was 16, designed by Alastair Morton. I think every girl then probably dreamt of owning a Horrockses dress. Horrockses had previously been known mainly as a brand that sold quality cotton household goods; sheets, towels and bed linen, with the tag line 'The Greatest Name in Cotton'. The company eventually concieved 'Horrockses Fashions' and it was for the fashion line that Pat sold her first design. She was one of the lucky few students to sell designs whilst still at college. This 'Stripes and Roses' was the first design she sold and it was also in her final RCA show. Horrockses were well known for their use of stripes on dresses, 'It was exactly what he wanted' Pat said, the design was used to make a housecoat designed by Betty Newmarch, this picture of it, Pat said, is still her favourite image of her time at Horrockses.
And so after graduating, Pat was offered a salaried position at Horrockses. From this point on in her career she said she pretty much always 'designed with specific pieces in mind' there was always a brief that she would work to. She clearly adored her time with the brand, during it she worked from home as they had no space at the head offices, but she was always present at design meetings and gatherings. She beamed as she referred to her team there as the 'formidable four'; that four being designers John Tullis, James 'Jimmy' Cleveland-Belle (who she said is a great friend and genius), Marta Pirn and Betty Newmarch. These designers came up with the dresses while Pat designed the printed fabric…a formidable gang for sure!
Whilst being asked to design for specific garments, Pat told us about the time when Tullis asked her to draw a lobster for a beach skirt, she bought the lobster, put it through expenses and labouriously drew it but felt it looked odd on its own, so added her signature flowers and some butterflies. When the accountant saw her receipt for the lobster he joked 'I hope you ate it after' to which she replied 'it took me three days to draw!'
In the late 1950's British fashion manufacturing took a blow as far East countries began to mass produce man made fibres. To keep up with the increased competition, Horrockses parent company had to cut costs and needed to lessen the quality of their cotton. During this time James Cleveland Belle left, shortly followed by Pat in 1958. She said she still considers her work for Horrockses to be one of the most important times of her career.
Pat said that her favourite things to draw have always been 'all things natural; fish, flowers, fruit and vegetables' and she would often put a rose in there somewhere to 'soften the motif'. I love the simplicity of her drawings and the casual element of humour too. After leaving Horrockses Pat went on to work for lots of different companies including Sanderson, John Lewis, fashion label Dolly Rockers and also The National Trust. It is with the National Trust that Pat famously designed many tea towels, the job perfectly combined her love of British historical houses and design. It evolved so that Pat was designing kitchen ceramics, table cloths and linens too, each for specific National Trust locations. Pat also did a lot of work in the 1970's with a lady called Maxine Magan who started a cottage industry called Cuckoobird. This team were responsible for making lots of kitchen ware and home ware including the well loved cottage shaped tea cosy!
I especially like how Pat's work in each era is totally characteristic of that decade and the style of the time, in vintage fashion, most pieces are clearly definitive of their time, and with Pat's work you can see how the style and process of design has changed. Pat now lives in Norfolk, ooh same as me, she adores cats, same as me too, and still draws every day. She has a local exhibition later this year at Verandah, an independent artists shop here in Norwich which I shall take a peep at for sure. A funny fact about Pat is that her only son is married to another well known British designer, Emma Bridgewater, an eye for style is a quality that her son must love in his ladies. A gorgeous evening in the company of an utterly fascinating woman, she had nothing but good to say about her time working for Horrockses and all the other brands.

Ted Britt was born and raised in Junction, Texas. After school he became a Coast Guard helicopter pilot and eventually settled in the D.C. area. He met his wife here in the 1940s, and the couple lived in Alexandria. Mr. Britt became a car salesman for Floyd Akers, owner of a well-known Cadillac dealership, and soon proved himself to be an astute businessman.
Mr. Britt grabbed the opportunity to start his own dealership and in 1959 opened "Texas" Ted Britt Ford in the Fairfax area known as Kamp Washington.
Back then, the area was sparsely populated. Route 29 wended its way toward Warrenton from its intersection with Route 50, a mile or so from the center of the town of Fairfax. The only area attraction in 1961 was Old Virginia City, a small amusement park constructed as a wild West town, featuring steam train rides, mock holdups, bank robberies, vaudeville acts, gunfights and a half-dozen Western buildings. It was jointly owned by local TV kiddie-show host Pick Temple and was located just down the road from the new Ted Britt Ford dealership.
Mr. Britt certainly knew what he was talking about, of course, and over the next 40 years, Fairfax County became what it is today — one of the most densely populated areas on the East Coast. Gardner Britt took control of the dealership in the late '70s and immediately put his children to work. The father of seven, he sensed the appeal of children in advertisement. His boys took naturally to the camera, and anyone who was around the area in the early '80s is bound to remember those Ted Britt Ford TV ads. The oldest of those children, Gardner III, is now 29 and General Manager of Ted Britt Suzuki.
Gardner Britt carried on his father's innovative ideas, and in 1987, he was the first to offer service loaner cars to customers. This now-commonplace marketing courtesy is one of the keys to the successes enjoyed by the Britt sales organization.
He moved the dealership around the corner to the intersection of Jermantown Road and Route 50 in 1988 to allow the dealership to grow with increased customer demands.
Ted Britt died in 1996, but his legacy is well maintained by Gardner Britt and other family members. The Ted Britt Auto Group now includes Ford of Chantilly and Suzuki of Fairfax.


SANTA CLARA (AP) — Alex Smith is the San Francisco 49ers' new starting quarterback.
Coach Mike Singletary made the announcement Monday after sitting down with Shaun Hill, who was benched at halftime of the Niners' 24-21 loss at Houston on Sunday. Smith, who hadn't played in nearly two years, completed his first six passes and finished 15 of 22 for 206 yards and three touchdown passes to tight end Vernon Davis — and he nearly led the 49ers back from a 21-0 deficit.
Smith, the No. 1 overall draft pick out of Utah in 2005, missed last season after reinjuring his surgically repaired throwing shoulder three days before the season opener.
Singletary said he doesn't plan to change quarterbacks every week, saying this is not a "flavor of the month" situation.

A national employment policy is a vision and a practical plan for achieving a country's employment goals. To make such a plan, a government has to clearly see a country's challenges and opportunities.

You can't do it just from the ID, as you don't know which table the ID belongs to. ID 2 in "Person" table is a different entity to ID 3 in "Company". The only practical way to identify only from an ID is using a Table per Hierarchy approach and inspecting the type descriptor.

You can also use a simple is statement instead of reflection. Ie if (entity is Company)

A: In your BaseContact (assume it is an abstract class) add abstract property which will be implemented by other two classes.Use Enum to identify the property type as follows.
 public enum MyType
    {
     Person,
     Company,
    };

    public abstract class BaseContact{
       public abstract MyType ContactType{get;}
     }

    public class Person:BaseContact
   {

    public override MyType ContactType
    {
      get
      {
        return MyType.Person;
      }
    }
   }

public class Company:BaseContact
{
    public override MyType ContactType
    {
      get
       {
         return MyType.Company;
       }
    }
 }

Use your BaseContact repository to retrieve entities and use enum for type separation.
