Sister of St. Joseph returns to McNick for a day
Posted on December 5, 2016 December 12, 2016 by Kelly Ernst
Theology teacher Teresa Davis welcomed Sister Janet Roesener to her theology classes at McNicholas on Nov. 8. Davis's students sat with Sister Janet and asked questions about the religious life, her daily life, and her time at McNick.
Davis wanted Roesener to come talk to the students because it was Vocations Awareness Week in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. This week was brought about highlight Consecrated Religious and Ordained Life for one week. Information on different orders and types of religious life is focused on during this week. "This may ignite someone who has a spark in their heart to join an order," said Davis. She also invited Roesener because she is a sister of St. Joseph. "She is part of our history and foundation of McNicholas High School. The students need to know their history and the face of their history," Davis said.
Roesener had begun her high school life at St. Joseph's Academy but when the school transitioned to co-ed, she graduated with the first class under the McNicholas name in 1952, and she knew that the religious life was what she wanted to be a part of. After learning about the Congregation of Sisters of Saint Joseph (CSJ) from the sisters who taught at the school, she was sure she wanted to join. Having become a part of the CSJ, she returned to McNick in 1957 to teach and then became principal in 1967.
After her work at McNick, Roesener continued to live out her vows by doing works of charity in her community. In her talk to the students, Roesener said the Sisters of St. Joseph have made it their goal to help their neighbor and show everyone God's love in the best ways they can. These goals "pertain to the world around us," she said. As the world changes, their work changes, but their ultimate goal of helping and providing happiness never does. This is because of their "generous promises," according to Roesener. She explained that these promises are to heal the earth by not doing any harm to it and bring about a shift in institutional power and privilege.
Roesener continues her work after retirement by volunteering at food pantries and assisting with healthcare needs at St. Vincent DePaul. She said she continues this work because "there's no way I could just sit and do nothing."
Her talk made the students see that "way she lives her life shows that the religious and people in convents live similarly to how many others live their lives," said McNick junior Tanner McClanahan. They were also reminded that "even growing up in today's world, there is still a place for Catholic values," said McNick junior Alyssa Taylor.
Former teacher and principal, Sister Janet Roesener of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph recently spoke of her religious life to student in Teresa Davis's theology classes. She encouraged students to help others in any way they are able.

So what's this page all about and why have I started blogging?
Well, I am forever striving to reach a state of "financial freedom" and although that term can mean different things for different people, I really would like to get to a point where I can be in control of my time and spend it just as I would like to without feeling guilty when doing nothing. Sounds great doesn't it? Well I do fully believe it's possible, it just takes focus and daily effort.
This page is set up for me to share things that I find along the way, and to create a community of like minded people who can help each other reach their financial goals. Join me in the Facebook Community and let's see where this goes.
It's so easy to let the chaos of life take over and to lose track of money and to forever be in a state of financial stress. It's time to take charge of your money!
Great stuff you doing Brendan. We share similar views regarding financial freedom or independence.
I have been following your work and I'm pretty impressed with what you write about.
Keep it up and keep sharing.

Indie Speculative Fiction of the Month for January 2017
It's that time of the month again, time for "Indie Speculative Fiction of the Month".
So what is "Indie Speculative Fiction of the Month"? It's a round-up of speculative fiction by indie authors newly published this month, though some December books I missed the last time around snuck in as well. The books are arranged in alphabetical order by author. So far, most links only go to Amazon.com, though I may add other retailers for future editions.
Once again, we have new releases covering the whole broad spectrum of speculative fiction. This month, we have urban fantasy, epic fantasy, Asian fantasy, space opera, military science fiction, post-apocalyptic science fiction, dystopian fiction, science fiction mystery, paranormal romance, fantasy romance, aliens, werewolves, robots, UFOs, intergalactic traders, FBI witches, magical source-fixers, mutant assassins, murdered gods, monsters in the woods and much more.
Don't forget that Indie Speculative Fiction of the Month is also crossposted to the Speculative Fiction Showcase, a group blog run by Jessica Rydill and myself, which features new release spotlights, guest posts, interviews and link round-ups regarding all things speculative fiction several times per week.
As always, I know the authors at least vaguely, but I haven't read all of the books, so Caveat emptor.
And now on to the books without further ado:
Dick and Henry and the Temporary Detective by Kenneth Buff:
Space is full of adventure. And danger too. Fresh off their last case, Captain Dick Shannon and his harvest bot, HN-R3 report to Station 2 for reassignment, only to find the station in the middle of an attack that threatens the lives of everyone on-board. Now, Dick and Henry must work together with a mysterious woman, hopping from planet to planet in search of clues in order to save themselves and bring the monsters responsible for the destruction of the station to justice before it's too late.
Hunted Wolf by Stacy Claflin:
Her fiancé's family wants her dead. And they won't stop until she is.
Victoria and Toby have faced one trial after another since falling in love. Now they must face Toby's old pack—a cruel traditional group opposed to anyone refusing to follow the old ways. Toby will do anything to protect Victoria, even to the point of separating from her. He sends her to a fierce bear shifter colony, where she will be hidden and protected.
Life with the werebears begins to take its toll, and Victoria's worries get the best of her. She fears for Toby and her pack, but her thoughts are torn—she also fears her sister is in danger. Victoria is compelled to find and protect her, so she leaves the sanctuary of the werebear colony and sets off in search of her.
Victoria encounters so much more than she could have imagined once she embarks on her quest. Will she be able to find her sister before Toby's old pack finds and kills her?
The Cost of Business by Zen DiPietro:
Cabot Layne has unintentionally become the owner of someone else's problem. In order to get free of it, he'll need to use every bit of his trader cunning. If he does it just right, he might stay out of prison. With a little luck, he'll even manage to turn a profit.
Murdered Gods by Marina Finlayson:
Lexi didn't set out to steal a god's ring, but when a magic artifact starts trying to talk to you, what's a girl supposed to do? She's always had the ability to talk to animals, but this new development amps up the crazy. Now she's afraid her power is out of control and she's losing her mind.
The only person who could possibly reassure her that she's not going mad is her mother, who has always refused to discuss the source of Lexi's strange ability. Now that the jewellery is getting chatty, maybe she'll finally spill the beans.
Unfortunately, going home means a trip back to the human territories, and Lexi only just made it out of there alive last time. She's hoping for a quick visit, but with a god hellbent on retrieving the ring and a fireshaper she might have accidentally betrayed on her tail, life is about to get horribly complicated—for her and everyone she cares about.
Alien Tales and Lore by G.J. Gundersen Jr.:
Strange messages from alien visitors start to appear in the newspapers. A young farmer dares to visit a mysterious pyramidal hill that, according to village legends, was built by aliens. A lowly researcher at a government installation finds a fully functional alien spacesuit …
These are just some of the stories included in Alien Tales and Lore.
Gundersen's entertaining stories are told in a folkloric or fairytale style, but they are unashamedly set in a modern age where odd occurrences may often be brought about by alien technology. The tales included in this volume are by turns enchanting, surreal, and troubling. But as with all fairytales and folktales, they offer an insight into human nature. Gundersen writes a new tradition for an age of alien contact!
Source-Breaker by Kyra Halland:
After twenty-seven years in the trade and with a string of failures behind him, Kaniev the Source-Fixer is ready to go home and take up fishing. First, though, one more repair job lies ahead of him – the magical Source Chaitrasse is experiencing problems. Kaniev's depleted finances and self-confidence demand that this time, he get the job done right.
Fransisa, once presumed to be the next High Priestess of Source Chaitrasse and now displaced by a young Chosen, the natural heir to the position, is struggling to hold on to her authority at Chaitrasse when a wandering tradesman appears, telling her the Source has a problem and he's the one who can fix it. Though he looks more like a wandering brigand than a powerful wizard or wise scholar, Fransisa decides it can't hurt anything to let him take a look.
Kaniev's ill-fated attempt to repair Source Chaitrasse leads to a sorcerer who is conducting dangerous experiments with magic. Caught in the sorcercer's schemes, Fransisa and Kaniev must overcome their past failures and their differences to stop him before the Sources of magic and all the lands around them are destroyed.
Songs of Insurrection by J.C. Kang:
The Empire of Cathay teeters on the brink of rebellion, and only the lost magic of Dragon Songs can prevent the realm from descending into chaos.
Blessed with an unrivaled voice, Kaiya dreams of a time when music could summon typhoons and rout armies. Maybe then, the imperial court would see the awkward, gangly princess as more than a singing fool.
When members of the emperor's elite spy clan uncover a brewing rebellion, the court hopes to appease the ringleader by offering Kaiya as a bride.
Obediently wedding the depraved rebel leader means giving up her music. Confronting him with the growing power of her voice could kill her.
Chameloen Assassin by B.R. Kingsolver:
Libby is a mutant, one of the top burglars and assassins in the world. For a price, she caters to executives' secret desires. Eliminate your corporate rival? Deliver a priceless art masterpiece or necklace? Hack into another corporation's network? Libby's your girl.
Climate change met nuclear war, and humanity lost. The corporations stepped in, stripping governments of power. Civilization didn't end, but it became less civilized. There are few rules as corporations jockey for position and control of assets and markets.
In the year 2200, the world has barely recovered the level of technology that existed before the ice melted and the subsequent wars. Corporate elites live in their walled estates and skyscraper apartments while the majority of humanity supplies their luxuries. On the bottom level, the mutants, the poor, and the criminals scramble every day just to survive.
Urban Fantasy set 200 years in the future.
Sundown Apocalypse by Leo Nix:
It is the end of days, the Apocalypse of Revelations has begun and terrorists have effectively taken out the super powers cleansing the planet of the 'disease of civilisation'.
?Small bands of survivors are forced to confront the horrors of a psychopathic enemy. They fight back the only way they can – with sudden and savage violence.
Sundown, under the mentorship of an ex IRA commander and a retired Vietnam war CIA operative, struggles with his own demons as he guides a determined band of civilians to defeat their enemy and to survive the harshness of the Australian desert.
Cat's Night Out by T.S. Paul:
Catherine Moore, Cat to her friends, trained with her friend Agatha Blackmore to be the best FBI Agents to ever graduate from the Academy. When Agatha left for her Probi assignment Cat had one of her own. A serial killer stalked the South. Sometimes it takes a Monster to catch a Monster.

Inwards Bound by Jim Rudnick:
Tempted by the dissolution of the huge empire inwards, Duke Scott and the Baroness and the Caliph join forces to send a ship inwards bound, to find new planets for the expansion of the RIM Confederacy—led by the new captain, Bram Sander. Making a mind-reader a ship's captain means more than one might expect, and Bram has to worry about the issues that arise.
Broken now into smaller Warlord realms, the first thing to do is to find allies and that becomes a major thrust in the RIM Confederacy ships first voyage inwards—and that leads to various new allies and antagonists too. One Warlord wants to join the Confederacy and one wants to take it over by force and the chances of that happening are real.
As the new secret mine for Xithricite is found by the Confederacy who now mines the red ore in secret, the Warlord fomenting war sends declarations to the Confederacy ship and Bram must respond. Aided by his own red ship and the Leudies gifts, he foists the Confederacy wishes on the Warlords—and the battles begin…
The Winter Knife by Laramie Sasseville:
Death stalks a snowbound city from below… Feral dogs are blamed when a popular teen is killed. Is it just coincidence that he disappeared after infuriating 14-year-old Haley, who is torn between her anger and her desire to belong? More attacks implicate a creature of Northwoods myth she befriended in its summer form. As the DNR leads a cougar hunt in town, Haley makes a desperate plan to steal a car and use their empathic bond to lead the creature away from the city — driving alone into the fangs of a blizzard that makes roads hazardous even for experienced drivers. If she fails, either her monster or more members of her community will die.
Requiem for the Wolf by Tara Saunders:
They told him that the Lost were animals. Crazed and brutal, they said, a danger to themselves and others. Hero, they called him, for providing the mercy of a clean death. They lied.
The Tiarna Beo is a land frozen in the still moment between acts of savage violence. Forty years after a Purging that drove an entire race either into the ground or north through the mountains, every man watches his words and his neighbour. Only a fool draws attention to himself, and only the suicidal travel from the North.
Growing up fatherless in a cold and grieving home, Breag had a clear vision for his future – a good woman, a family of his own and a quiet life. When his good woman betrays him, her confederates force him into the Tiarna on a mission to find one of the Lost and bring it home to be sacrificed. Mired in hopeless duty and wandering rootless among people who would kill him if they knew what he was, Breag struggles to hold on to the frayed edges of his humanity.
But no good deed goes unpunished. When his rescue of a brutalised young woman reveals her to be the Lost he has spent eight years hunting, Breag is forced to choose between her life and his future. And she's not prepared to go quietly. Breag's choice will create ripples that ignite the fumes of anger among his people and theirs, and ultimately to burn the entire kingdom down around his ears.
The Perception of Prejudice by Alasdair Shaw:
Ace fighter pilot Anastasia Seivers is offered a secret assignment: to join a squadron taking the fight to Concorde's true enemies. But this squadron isn't part of the regular Concorde military, it is attached to the Legion Libertus, the independent force responsible for saving thousands of lives after the nuclear attack. After initial hope that her new commanders will be different, Seivers starts to suspect that they too are prejudiced against her.
Determined to remove the chip from Seivers' shoulder, Prefect Olivia Johnson, commander of the Legion, takes her on as pilot for a special mission.
The Perception of Prejudice is a novelette in the Two Democracies: Revolution series.

YouTube founder secretly building sports fan game GreenPark – TechCrunch
Chad Hurley is hunting for what comes after fantasy sports. He envisions a new way for fans to play by watching live and cheering for the athletes they love. Beyond a few scraps of info the YouTube co-founder would share and his new startup's job listings revealed, we don't know what Hurley's game will feel like. But the company is called GreenPark Sports, and it's launching in spring 2020.
"There is an absence of compelling, inclusive ways for large masses of sports fans to compete together," Hurley tells me. "The idea of a 'sports fan' has evolved -0 it is now more a social behavior than ever before. We're looking at a much bigger, inclusive way for all fans of sports and esports teams to play."
Hurley already has an all-star team. One of GreenPark's co-founders, Nick Swinmurn, helped start Zappos, while another, Ken Martin, created marketing agency BLITZ. Together they've raised an $8.5 million seed round led by SignalFire and joined by Sapphire Sports and Founders Fund. "With this team's impeccable track record and vision for the future of fandom, this was an investment we had to make," said Chris Farmer, founder and CEO of SignalFire .
It all comes down to allegiance — something Hurley, Swinmurn and Martin truly understand. Everyone is seeking ways to belong and emblems to represent them. In an age when many of our most prized possessions, from photographs to record collections, have been digitized, we lack tangible objects that center our individuality. Culture increasingly centers around landmark events, with what we've done mattering more than what we own.
GreenPark could seize upon this moment by helping us align our identities with a team. This instantly unlocks a like-minded community, a recurrent activity and a unified aesthetic. And when reality gets heavy, people can lose themselves by hitching their spirits to the scoreboard.
Rather than just tabulating results after the match like in fantasy sports, GreenPark wants to be entwined with the spectacle as it happens. "We're going to be working with a mix of ways to visualize the live game — from unique gamecast-like data to highlight clips. The social viewing experience can be much more than just the straight live video," Hurley explains.
He came up with GreenPark after selling assets of his video editing app Mixbit to BlueJeans a year ago. Hurley already had an interactive relationship with sports… though one that's reserved for the rich: he's part owner of the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Football Club. Meanwhile, Swinmurn co-founded the Burlingame Dragons Football Club affiliated with San Jose's team, and is on the board of Denmark's FC Helsingør.
Those experiences taught them the satisfaction that comes from a deeper sense of ownership or allegiance with a team. GreenPark will give an opportunity for anyone to turn fandom into its own sport. "We shared a love of sports and set out to look into opportunities around legalized sports betting in the U.S.," Hurley tells me. But quickly they found "it was obvious the regulated space wouldn't allow us to innovate as quickly as we wanted," and they saw more opportunity amidst a younger mainstream audience.
"We're not ready to disclose publicly the exact detailed gameplay yet," Hurley says. But here's what we could cobble together from around the web.
GreenPark Sports lets you "Destroy the other teams' fans" to "climb the leaderboards," its site says cryptically. According to job listings, it will pipe in live game data, starting with the NBA and expanding to other leagues, and offer cartoon characters with facial expressions and full-body gestures to let users live out the highs and lows of matches. Don't expect trivia questions or player stat memorization. It almost sounds like a massively multiplayer online fan arena.
As with blockbuster games Fortnite or League of Legends, GreenPark is free-to-play. But a mention of virtual clothing hints at monetization, where you could spruce up avatars with digital team apparel. Hurley tells me, "We are in the perfect storm of the thirst for innovation at the traditional league level, the next level of maturing for esports, investment in sports betting and overall dire need to better understand today's largest populace of sports fans — millennial / Gen Z." The closed beta launches in the spring.
There's a massive hole to fill in the wake of the Draft Kings / FanDuel marketing surge a few years ago. Most apps in the space just carry scores or analysis, rather than community. "What's amazing about being a fan of a team or player is the common bond you have with other fans," Hurley explains, "where even if you don't know the other fans of your team — you are all in it to win it — together."
Publications like The Athletic have proven there are plenty of fans willing to pay to feel closer to their favorite teams. The most direct competitor for GreenPark might be Strafe, which lets you track and predict the winners of esports matches.
People already spend tons of time on building fictional worlds like Minecraft, and money outfitting their Fortnite avatar with the coolest clothes. If GreenPark can create a space for sports fans' self-expression, it could create the online destination for legions of IRL enthusiasts that see who they root for as core to who they are.

TMC has continually expanded its STACIS product line to solve specific vibration problems caused by ambient building floor vibrations present in semiconductor manufacturing and other precision processes.
TMC designs and manufactures high-performance vibration isolation laboratory tables and table-top vibration isolation platforms that provide excellent vibration-free work surfaces for diverse applications such as electrophysiology, cell injection scanning-tunnel microscopy, and confocal laser scanning microscopy.
The patented Everstill K-400 is a benchtop active vibration cancellation platform which incorporates a "serial type" active architecture. This combined with velocity sensors for enhanced low frequency sensitivity attains a dramatic level of low frequency vibration attenuation.
For the vast majority of applications the Gimbal Piston™ Isolator provides outstanding horizontal and vertical vibration isolation as well as excellent damping. However, an increasing number of applications incorporate motorized stages or high aspect ratio payloads. These benefit from specialized pneumatic isolators, such as CSP® and MaxDamp®, which incorporate ultra-low horizontal resonant frequency and very aggressive damping.

There was a spreadsheet template titled "Purchase Requisition Form". It is professionally marked with controlled document number and version number. And it has a Reference Number field, which is supposed to be an incremental value, but to be manually completed.
It has a few input fields meant to capture the requester's identity, such as Requester's Full Name, Department and Job Title – to be manually filled in as well. Followed by other details commonly seen in a purchase requisition request, such as budget code and details about budgeting and items to be purchased.
At the end of this form, are a few boxes pre-allocated for requester's signature, HOD's signature, and other signatories as defined in approval matrix. The requester – Henry, printed out a completed Purchase Requisition Form, signed it with a ballpoint pen, and handed it over to his HOD for first-level approval.
Little did he realize that he had submitted the purchase requisition using an outdated document version! So, he had to re-complete and re-submit his request; and, yes, printed it out again because a hand-drawn signature is required. But it doesn't end there..
Henry's request requires approval from an Executive Director, who was away from his office desk for 2 weeks! The paper form sat in the Executive Director's document tray, pending for approval that can only be done with a hand-drawn signature.
The above described scenario isn't an uncommon scene. Even large multinational companies are having many gaps with digital operational requests. More often than not, request forms are a list of controlled versioned documents gathered in an intranet portal. Yet, most companies are realizing the need to keep up with operational speed – digital disruption is real in business.
In turn, request approval that used to take days or weeks, is now optimized to measurement in hours.

The revelation raises questions as to why officials did not take action against the extremist.
Manchester suicide bomber Salman Abedi was flagged to authorities five times over his extremist views, raising questions as to why he was never stopped by officers.
Friends, family and members of Abedi's mosque all reported the 22-year-old British-born terrorist to anti-terror hotlines as far back as five years ago, but action appeared to have not been taken.
Intelligence officials even knew of his links to a militant Islamist group in Libya and to Isis-linked jihadists in the UK, but Abedi was still allowed to travel from Libya to Britain several weeks before launching his attack.
On Monday (22 May), 22 people were killed – twelve of them under the age of 16 – when Abedi carried out his suicide bombing following an Ariana Grande performance in Manchester.
Among those to warn of Abedi's extremism was Mohammed Shafi, chief executive of the Ramadhan Foundation, who believed "he was involved in extremism and terrorism".
"People in the community expressed concerns about the way this man was behaving and reported it in the right way using the right channels," he told the Telegraph.
"They did not hear anything since."
Two friends also reported Abedi to authorities separately after he expressed the view that "being a suicide bomber was OK", according to a BBC source.
Abedi was also reportedly banned from Didsbury Mosque after he confronted the Imam for delivering an anti-extremist sermon who then conferred with the Home Office about their concerns.
His father, Ramadan Abedi, claimed in interviews that his son was not an extremist, but friends of the family said that he was so concerned about his son's radicalisation, that he demanded he move from Manchester to Libya and confiscated his passport.
He was later arrested and it emerged he was a member of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group – a terror group banned in Britain – but covertly backed by the UK to overthrow Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, according to foreign policy historian Mark Curtis.
It also emerged that Abedi had known links to Isis and had travelled to Syria before returning to the UK, according to France's interior minister.
Abedi reportedly told his father he intended on travelling to Saudi Arabia to carry out a pilgrimage in order to be returned his passport, but instead returned to the UK.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd has disclosed that Abedi was known to British intelligence prior to the attack, but did not make clear why no action was taken.
The revelation comes as security forces scrambled to uncover what is believed to be a significant terror cell linked to Abedi operating in the UK.
Police have now arrested seven people following Monday's attack, with the latest arrest made in Nuneaton on Wednesday (25 May).

The Supreme Court today declined the request of the central government that it stay all petitions against demonetisation pending in various high courts and other forums stating that people have a right to approach courts when they have grievances.
Chief Justice of India TS Thakur said petitions challenging the ban on Rs. 500 and Rs. 1,000 notes indicate the magnitude of the problem.
"You have scrapped 500 and 1,000, but what happened to the 100 rupee note?" the Chief Justice asked the government, referring to the daily scramble for cash across the country and the punishing queues outside banks and ATMs.
ATMs, the government replied, need to be recalibrated because they have a "single drawer" for Rs. 100 notes. For thousands, this has meant that cash dried up long before they could reach the top of the line after several hours.
The court had more questions on the currency ban announced suddenly by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 8 to check tax evasion and black or untaxed money. In the past 10 days, there have been several additional announcements to ease the crisis for people.
"The last time you said you are working out relief but you have reduced the withdrawal amount to 2,000. What's the problem? Is it a printing problem?" Justice Thakur asked the government.
The government earlier this week reduced the Rs. 4,500 limit for the exchange of notes at banks to Rs. 2,000, saying it would enable more people to get cash.
Mr Rohatgi added that the government did grant relief to farmers, families planning weddings and small traders.
Representing one of the petitioners, senior lawyer Kapil Sibal, a senior Congress leader, alleged that people in villages and in the northeastern states are unable to withdraw money.
There was a verbal duel between Rohatgi and Kapil Sibal, who represented one of the several petitioners. While Sibal said that the ordinary people have been put in miserable situation, the Attorney General alleged that Sibal was politicising the issue for the benefit of his party.
The court then asked both parties to submit data justifying their claims — that the situation was easing as claimed by the government and it was as bad as ever as claimed by the petitioners. The court will examine the data next Friday.

12. Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL)
The evolution of Vibrio cholerae in aquatic environments
Until recently, research on V. cholerae had a strong focus on the human disease caused by this bacterium. The reason for this is our desire to fight cholera by developing vaccines or finding efficient treatments that can eliminate or at least shorten the massive diarrhea associated with this disease. However, even with these goals in mind, it is worth taking a step backward and think about how V. cholerae gained pathogenic traits in the first place. By looking at the environmental lifestyle of V. cholerae, we recently discovered that chitin surfaces induce natural competence for genetic transformation in V. cholerae. Natural competence is a well-known phenomenon and refers to the physiological state in which a bacterium is able to take up free DNA from its surrounding and to incorporate it into its genome. As an important mode of horizontal gene transfer (HGT), natural competence enables V. cholerae to acquire new genes, including those that specify pathogenic traits or are beneficial for the adaptation to new habitats. Not surprisingly, other species of the genus Vibrio also respond to chitin by inducing natural competence.
The main research aims of our group at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) are therefore:
To elucidate the regulatory network that drives natural competence and transformation in V. cholerae (using molecular biology-based experimentation and biochemistry).
To better understand the DNA-uptake process, which involves a macromolecular protein complex (through the use of cellular microbiology-based approaches combined with biophysical experimentation).
To test for non-human hosts of V. cholerae and investigate such host-microbe interactions (using bacterial genetics and time-lapse confocal microscopy).
To decipher to role of the so-called virulence factors in the bacterium's primary habitat, the aquatic environment (using engineered strains of V. cholerae and diverse microscopy techniques).

Enjoy the most elegant bouquets the garden has to offer with super-easy, long-blooming, beautiful Gerbera Daisies! Our Festival Mix is a happy blend of the brightest shades and most interesting flower forms, so each plant brings a new surprise on every stem! And with a summer-through-fall bloomtime, you'll keep your vases full and still have enough to dot the color with a shower of brilliant color!
These flowers are enormous -- up to 5 inches across! -- and packed with petals around a small dark eye. Some have two layers of traditional daisy petals, while others are fluffy like pompons and still others have needle-thin, frazzled petals in a style called "spiders"!
Butterflies adore them, and so will you, for they arise on very thick, sturdy stems just made for cutting. And the more you cut, the quicker you get fresh buds to replace the old! You can't beat that!
The colors in this mix range from deep red to scarlet to shades of pink, plus yellow, golden, orange, and white in all combinations. About the only thing they all have in common is their beauty, and this is one annual plant you'll want to plant a few extra of, just to see what new surprise awaits you!
Gerberas love sunshine, and appreciate a good humus-y or well-composted soil. Water them well for best blooms! Hardy in zones 8-10, they are happy to overwinter indoors or in a frost-free location farther north, and thrive as a container plant. The stems reach a foot long, but the foliage is much shorter, forming a nice rosette about 10 to 14 inches wide. Reserve your best flowerpots for these beauties! Pack of three plants in 4-inch pots.


Unwind with our refreshing decaf lemongrass tea! This herbal tea blend has a cool, sweet citrus flavor that makes it a perfect option anytime of day.

Any mention of the term 'job interview' and you might find your palms sweating and your heart beginning to race. The good news is you aren't alone. According to a study of 1,000 working men and women, 92 percent reported being nervous about job interviews, whether it was general anxiety, fear of being unprepared, or fear of being late. It's okay to be a little nervous about a job interview, but knowing what to expect and being prepared are good ways to lower those interview jitters.
"Tell me what you know about us." Your mind immediately goes blank and you realize that, in all your preparation, you forgot to research the company. You know they are a marketing firm, but an answer like that certainly won't suffice. So, what should you know? While you don't need to be able to name every employee, knowing the key players, such as the president and/or CEO, won't hurt. Brush up on the company culture, mission, and values, and make sure you are up to speed on clients, products, services, and any recent company news. Put the information you find on a notecard, and review it daily leading up to the interview. If you can, avoid providing a canned response. You want to sound as natural as possible and show that you have researched enough to explain what you know about the company without sounding like you're reading off their website.
The key piece of the interview is the questions, and for many people this is the most dreaded and nerve-wracking part of the entire job-search process. It is important that you look up potential questions before the interview so you can practice your answers to both the easy and tough ones. This will also help you avoid a situation where you freeze up and provide an answer that doesn't adequately answer the question or convey what you really wanted to say. You should also be aware of inappropriate questions, such as anything about race, marital status, children, disabilities, and religion.
What you say in the interview is important, but what you wear says a lot about your degree of professionalism, too. To start, scope out the company website and social media pages to get an idea of what is typically worn to the office. However, just because it seems super casual doesn't mean you should show up in your comfiest sweatpants. Casual attire could be dark jeans, a knee-length skirt, or slacks with a blouse, cardigan, or button down. Business casual is dressier, and could mean dress pants, a pencil skirt, or slacks with a button down, jacket, blazer, or tie. Women have the added step of determining what to do with hair, nails, and makeup. Hair should be sleek and kempt; it is best to pull it back in a bun or ponytail so you aren't tempted to play with it. Makeup should be natural, as should your nails, so leave the crazy colors and glitter for another day.
You might think you are on the right track by simply arriving on time to the job interview, but have you brought along the essentials? In order to secure the interview, you probably already sent your resume and references. Many interviewers will bring a copy to the interview, but a few extras won't hurt. Plus, it's a good place to jot down important information, such as directions and contact info. Be sure to bring a list of questions you'd like to ask the interviewer, including ones about the day-to-day responsibilities, job expectations, company culture, top competitors, and career trajectory. This is not the time to ask about salary, as this is something that should only be discussed in the final steps of the job interview process when you meet with the hiring manager or someone from human resources. However, the end of the interview is an appropriate time to ask about how to follow up.
Job interviews are a source of anxiety for many people, but don't let your fear keep you from acing it. The key is to be as prepared as possible. Research the company, practice your interview answers, wear the right attire, and bring the essentials. All that's left is to be yourself and put your best foot forward!
