(a) Sagittal ultrasonography. The foramen of Winslow is indicated by the triangular zone (white arrow) between the portal vein (double arrows) and the inferior vena cava (C).
(b) Sagittal ultrasonography. In a patient with ascites, a small amount of fluid enters the foramen (open arrow) between the portal vein (arrow) and the vena cava (arrowheads).
Fig. 3-22. The lesser sac and its relationships.
The foramen of Winslow is generally only large enough to admit the introduction of one to two fingers, but in vivo it represents merely a potential communication between the greater and lesser peritoneal cavities.

Fig. 3—24. Lesser sac anatomy illustrated by sagittal sections of the upper abdomen through the inferior vena cava (a), midline (b), and left kidney (c).
(a) The epiploic foramen is well demonstrated between the inferior vena cava and hepatoduo-denal ligament. A small portion of the lesser sac is seen anterior to the pancreas. In this section, the greater omentum and transverse mesocolon are relatively short. Note fusion of the inner two layers of the greater omental peritoneum and adhesion of the posterior layer of the greater omentum with the anterior layer of the transverse mesocolon.
(b) The lesser omentum extends from the stomach to the fissure for the ligamentum venosum. The posterior peritoneal layer of the lesser omentum reflects back to the caudate lobe. In this section, the greater omentum and the transverse mesocolon are elongated. The anterior boundaries of the lesser sac are the lesser omentum, stomach, and gastrocolic ligament. The posterior ones are posterior parietal peritoneum and the transverse mesocolon with greater omen-tum. The inferior one is fused greater omentum.
(c) The lesser sac is bounded by the stomach and the gastrocolic ligament anteriorly, the gastro-splenic ligament superiorly, and transverse mesocolon posteriorly. The lesser sac is separated from the posterior left subphrenic space and left subhepatic space (gastrohepatic space) by the stomach and gastrosplenic ligament.

Lesser omentum and stomach cut and section removed from greater omentum and transverse colon. Drawing shows potential inferior extension of lesser sac between the layers of the greater omentum.
Fig. 3—27. Ascites between the leaves of the greater omen turn.
In a patient with metastatic adenocarcinoma, ascitic fluid has dissected into the inferior recess of the lesser sac (ILS) between the unfused anterior and posterior leaves of the omentum. These are each evident by virtue of their fat-laden nature. Marked ascites is also present in the greater peritoneal cavity.
Fig. 3—28. Opacification of the lesser sac in vivo.
Following percutaneous puncture before a drainage procedure and contrast injection, the anatomic extent of the vestibule and the upper recess (UR) of the lesser sac is clearly depicted.
On the left, the lesser sac is bounded by the splenic attachments—the gastrosplenic ligament in front and the splenorenal ligament behind (Figs. 3-14a, 3-31a, 3-35, and 3-36). On the right side, the space extends just to the right of the midline, where it communicates, at least potentially, behind the free edge of the lesser omentum with the right subhepatic space via like foramen ofWin-slow (Figs. 3-23, 3-37, 3-38).
Fig. 3—29. Boundaries of superior recess of the lesser sac.
The borders of this cul-de-sac include the diaphragm posteriorly, the caudate lobe of the liver anteriorly, the intraabdominal segment of the esophagus to the left, and the inferior vena cava (IVC) to the right. Ao = aorta.
Fig. 3—30. The caudate lobe of the liver (CL) projects into the upper recess of the lesser sac.
It is discretely outlined by air and contrast medium from a perforated gastric ulcer studied by an upper GI series. Contrast also outlines the lateral border of the lesser sac (arrows). A small amount has escaped through the foramen of Winslow into the subhepatic space (arrowhead).
Fig. 3—31. Anatomy of the lesser sac and the gastropan-creatic plica.
Identification of landmarks enhanced by intraperitoneal fluid. The lesser sac (LS) is divided into two compartments by a peritoneal fold (white arrow) enclosing the left gastric artery as it passes from the posterior abdominal wall to reach the lesser curvature of the stomach (ST). Differentiation between ascites fluid (A) and intrapleural fluid (PL) is clear. CL = caudate lobe of liver; HA = hepatic artery; SA = splenic artery; SP = spleen; VC = vena cava.
Fig. 3-33. CT anatomy of the lesser sac.
The lesser sac (LS), distended with ascites, is traversed by the stretched peritoneal fold (arrows) in which the left gastric artery courses to reach the lesser curvature of the stomach (ST).
Based on this anatomic feature, the potential clinical loculation of fluid to one or the other compartment can be anticipated. The extraperitoneal fat near the base of origin within the gastropancreatic plica is identifiable (open arrow).
On the left, note the posterior extent of the lesser sac bounded by the splenorenal ligament within which distal splenic vessels course (arrowhead).
Ascites within the right (RSP) and left (LSP) subphrenic spaces is separated by the falciform ligament.
Fig. 3—34. The gastropan-creatic fold seen on axial CT (a) and coronal MRI (b).
Fluid in the lesser sac (LS) behind the stomach (ST) is bounded anteriorly by the gas-trocolic ligament (white arrows) and communicates via the epi-ploic foramen (curved arrow) between the inferior vena cava (vc) and portal vein (pv) with ascitic fluid (A) in the greater peritoneal cavity. Deep to the splenic artery (sa) and pancreatic tail (PT) there is associated fluid within the anterior pararenal space (aps) extending to the angle of the spleen (SP).
Ascites is present in the greater peritoneal cavity (A) and in the lesser sac (LS) between the pancreas (P) and stomach (ST), where it is distinctly demarcated laterally by the gastrosplenic ligament (arrows). SP = spleen.
Fig. 3—37. CT anatomy of the foramen of Winslow entrance into the lesser sac.
(a and b) CT scans of the abdomen following intraperitoneal injection of contrast show communication of the greater peritoneal cavity with the lesser sac (LS) via the epiploic foramen of Winslow (curved arrow), between the inferior vena cava (C) and portal vein (PV).
Fig. 3—38. CT anatomy of the foramen of Winslow entrance into the lesser sac.
Contrast-enhanced CT shows that ascites in the greater peritoneal cavity (P) gains entrance through a widened foramen of Winslow (asterisk) in the portacaval space to the lesser sac (LS). Visualization of the hepatoduodenal ligament (arrowhead) is achieved by virtue of fluid on both sides.
Fig. 3-39. Fluid in the herniated lesser sac.
Fig. 3—40. CT anatomy of the lesser sac. Fluid in lesser sac.
(a) Direct coronal image demonstrates extent of right (RLS) and left (LLS) compartments of the lesser sac. LSS is larger and its inferior recess (black and white arrows) may extend between anterior and posterior leaves of greater omentum. Superiorly the left part of the lesser sac extends to a level below the apex of the diaphragm (black arrows). The greater omentum (arrowheads) is compressed between the lesser sac and the spleen (SP). A = ascites around liver; SI = opacified small intestine.
(b) The lesser sac (LS) communicates with Morison's pouch (MP) through the epiploic foramen of Winslow (black arrow). MT = mesentery of small intestine.
Fig. 3—41. Ascitic fluid in gastrohepatic recess simulating fluid in lesser sac.
(a and b) Contrast-enhanced CT in a patient with alcoholic liver disease reveals a large fluid collection (arrows). This is localized in the gastrohepatic recess since the fluid follows the lateral surface of the left lobe lateral segment posteriorly into the fissure for the ligamentum venosum and extends to the left and right portal veins. Fluid does not engulf the caudate lobe (cl) to indicate that this is fluid within the lesser sac.
Is the spleen related to lesser sac?
Which intraperitoneal space does the lesser sac communicate with via the foramen of winslow?
How to open lesser sac?
Is spleen in direct contact with lesser sac?
Which space communicates with the lesser sac?
Is the spleen a boundary of the lesser sac?

Falcons Sign Former Pro Bowler Lofa Tatupu, According To Report

Share All sharing options for: Falcons Sign Former Pro Bowler Lofa Tatupu, According To Report
According to a report by ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Atlanta Falcons have reached an agreement with former Seattle Pro Bowl linebacker Lofa Tatupu.
Falcons reached agreement with former Seahawks Pro Bowl LB Lofa Tatupu.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 10, 2012
The Falcons reportedly worked out Tatupu earlier today. He last played during the 2010 season for the Seahawks who asked him to restructure his deal following the season. Tatupu refused the request and was then released. He sat out all of last season.
This is also one of the first indications that the Falcons are seriously concerned about losing linebacker Curtis Lofton in free agency. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are rumored to be showing interest in Lofton and have plenty of salary cap room to negotiate with. If healthy, Tatupu figures to be a solid alternative to provide depth at the linebacker position.

Q: Using jQuery in WinForms desktop app? We have a WinForms desktop application that uses the .NET 2.0 framework WebBrowser control quite extensively for displaying HTML. The HTML may be simple, or quite complicated. It may reside on disk, or it may be written directly to the document property at runtime.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with using jQuery as a library for such desktop applications. Can i just reference the jquery.js file on disk, and use it just as if it were a web app? Are there any pitfalls that I need to be aware of?

A: At the end of the day, it's just HTML markup in a browser, treat it as you would if you were working with a page to be viewed in any web browser.  jQuery will work just fine assuming you can reference the library from the markup.  This would require injecting a script reference into the markup at runtime.
You say that the source may reside on disk or be dynamically generated, I would introduce a pre-loaded step which either loads the file from disk, or generates the markup in memory, then (using string or XML manipulation), inject the jQuery reference and any associated scripts into the markup before populating the WebBrowser document. From there, just let the WebBrowser control do its job.

Ash Tree Cottage: Therapy Dog or Angel?
weekend. Y'all know how much I love dogs, especially my Bentley.
busy doing his own work, she has created her own job.
Nala visits the patients and gives them love and compassion.
Enjoy the video. No more words are necessary.
I believe animal visits can do more good than most people can appreciate. An animals love and attention stays with you long after the initial visit and leaves great memories of sight, sound and feel (textures)).
Just completely precious! Mr. Decor has plans that when he retires he will train a little dachshund to be a therapy dog so they can visit veterans hospitals. People find great comfort in animals. They are non judgemental.
Dogs can do so much good. I used to work in the children's room of a library and we had dogs come in every other week so that kids could read to them. Children who have a hard time reading aloud in front of people have a perfectly easy time reading to a dog. You are so right. Dogs don't judge, they just love.
Love this post, Susan! Nala's story is so inspiring and her love is unconditional! Thanks for sharing . . . it made my day. I've already shared it on FB!
Thanks for sharing Nala's story. It also helps to spread the word that elderly patients in nursing homes need love and companionship too.
Oh, my goodness! What an amazing dog! How strange that she knows just who to visit, WOW! Thanks for sharing that, Susan. It made me cry!
It made me cry too. Happy tears!
That was so touching. Such a little creature making such a big impact! This needs to be done at nursing homes & hospitals everywhere! Thanks for sharing this Susan.
The good thing is that it is being done more and more often. I have been reading about programs that bring therapy dogs into the homes of shut ins too. So much more work can be done to help darling dogs like Nala spread joy and comfort to those in need.
I don't think we can come close to grasping the extent of a dog's instincts and understanding of our needs.
Dogs are a blessing all animals are to me ! Our Miggs is my daily therapy that's for sure ! Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
Oh so agree. Bentley is my daily therapy too and our angel.
WONDERFUL!!!! Nala is an angel. She is one smart little lady. People who don't like dogs cannot be trusted. Dogs are a gift from God.
It seems to me that God is working through Nala. She is the perfect example of what love is meant to be. Without judgement or discrimination. Always kind and always compassionate.
Susan, I think this is just wonderful. I will do this one day, too. I have two cats in my antique shop and people pay more attention to the cats than they do to the antiques...that is the only problem. I don't have a dog here because the insurance man says there is a liability issue (ole stick-in-the-mud) but someday I'll able to do visit nursing homes with some little rescue dog. Wish I could do it now.

4 Places to Visit in Kolhapur
The palaces reminiscent of the Victorian era, the temples of great fame and devotion is what defines Kolhapur in Maharashtra. Here are the four places one can visit when in Kolhapur.
By Air: The Kolhapur airport has regular flights to major cities of the country.
By Rail: Rukadi and Shahu Maharaj Terminus are the major railway stations and there are regular trains to other cities.
By Road: Kolhapur bus station has buses plying from cities within and outside of Maharashtra.
The summer season (March to May) is best avoided because of the scorching heat. Winter (November to February) is the best time to visit and the monsoon season is pleasant and there is medium rainfall.
1. Rankala Lake

A beautiful lake located in the vicinity of the Mahalakshmi temple is the Rankala Lake. There is a Rankabahairava temple at the centre of this large lake and there is a huge garden, a lakeside walks, stalls which serve mouthwatering delicacies! The Shalini Palace is an elegantly constructed palace which is located on the western banks of the lake; this is now converted into a hotel. This lake is a perfect hangout place with family and friends during the weekends. Just relax, rejuvenate and revive!
2. Mahalakshmi Temple

The Mahalakshmi temple is a major tourist attraction in Kolhapur. This temple is also one of the Shakthi Peethas and is popularly known as Ambabai temple. The main deities here are Goddess Mahalakshmi and Lord Vishnu and this temple is considered their holy abode. The architecture of the temple is of Chalukyan style, and in the sanctum sanctorum one can find the image of Goddess Mahalakshmi mounted on a stone platform and there is a lion carved out of stone which is considered her vaahana and it stands right behind the statue.
The priests here offer elaborate, religious services which begin at 5am and goes through various services till the evening. One must definitely pay a visit this temple when in Kolhapur!
3. Bhavani Mandap
Located in the vicinity of the Mahalakshmi temple is a historically significant building called the Bhavani Mandap. Popularly known as the glory of the city, this structure houses a temple of Goddess Bhavani right in the center, the idol of Maharaj Shahu is situated in the entrance hall which is inexplicably ravishing and the embellishments are like a cherry on top!
Stuffed animals hunted by Shahu such as panthers, bison, deer and many more. Though the Bhavani Mandap might be smaller in size compared to the Mahalaxmi temple it still holds a significance of its own.
4. Siddhagiri Gramjivan Museum

Siddhagiri Gramjivan Museum is a wax museum located at Shri Kshetra Sidhagiri Matha in Kolhapur. The Siddhagiri Matha is a religious center dedicated to Lord Shiva and the museum is located in a very pleasant environment full of beautiful fauna and flora and hills. The theme of the museum revolves around projecting village life in Maharashtra before the Mughal invasion.
The families portrayed through visuals are happy devoid of adulteration, rat race and the village is free of pollution and this is an urge for people to experience the beauty of nature! Many scenes such as shepherd boy, House of Vaidya, Village well and many more are beautifully depicted in the museum.
Kolhapur is a city which showcases the different facets of religious, traditional, historical beauty through the likes of temples, museums and forts and transports one into a whole new world.

Q: Google Chrome can find WSL2 Docker containers, while WSL2 Ubuntu can't? My setup is as follows:

*

*Windows 10 host

*WSL2

*Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

*Nginx Proxy Manager container

*Some nginx containers

I have added a bunch of proxy's to the nginx proxy manager. When I visit these URLs (e.g. api.localhost) with Google Chrome (on Windows 10 host) I can see the correct pages.
When I ping on the windows 10 host to one of the url domains. It cannot find the host.
When I use something like curl api.localhost on the WSL2 ubuntu shell, it also cannot find the host.
Why can chrome find the host at all?
Do I need to add host line entries for all my domains? Both on WSL2 and Windows. Or is there an easier way?

Learning From the Rescinded Diversity Training Ban
June 14, 2021 /DEI Diversity Equity Inclusion /by Matt Nusbaum
President Joe Biden held his post for only a few hours before rescinding former President Donald Trump's executive order banning some forms of diversity and inclusion training.
The highly controversial order, executive order 13950, prohibited federal contractors from implementing training programs that promote "race and sex stereotyping and scapegoating." It was signed as the country reeled from mounting racial tension and a pandemic that exposed severe inequalities. Ultimately, the order was met with lawsuits and blocked by a federal judge on First Amendment grounds.
In an effort to shift the federal government's focus back to equity, President Biden revoked the ban immediately. Now, compliance professionals are taking a hard look at the goals of diversity training and affirmative action compliance. Specifically, they're wondering how to move companies forward in light of the revocation.
How Compliance Professionals Received the Revocation
It's easy to assume that compliance professionals embraced Biden's rescission of Trump's executive order. After all, more than 160 organizations—including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce—called upon Trump to reconsider the order. Their reaction illustrates the danger of using unilateral government action rather than the legislative process to make major changes.
Although the intent of the executive order was fairly clear, it permitted the federal government to punish employers for "unpopular" speech in a way that was overly broad in application. This put employers in a challenging position, which is why many halted diversity and inclusion training altogether. As a result, this chilled efforts to prioritize anti-racism training at a time when diversity and inclusion messaging mattered the most.
When companies really looked at the hard numbers behind discrimination in corporate America last year, it became clear that we have a long way to go to reach a state of equality. Diversity and inclusion messages and training play a big part in that, but they only work when they bring everyone in—not when they call some people out and let exclusion and intolerance germinate.
The Forgotten Voices in Affirmative Action Compliance
Despite evidence of systemic racism in America, many Americans still resist the notions of equality and nondiscrimination. For some, these attitudes stem from a place of hatred and animosity. Others don't see why diversity training is important because they fear these initiatives will put them at a disadvantage. On the opposite side of the spectrum, progressives sometimes lump these people into baskets and treat anyone who disagrees with their views as unsalvageable.
Too many misconceptions exist because of poorly communicated diversity and inclusion messages. Speaking down to people who question the goals of diversity training or treating them like they need to be "saved" won't create a more inclusive workplace.
Lasting change begins with reaching out to people who do not understand or support the goals of diversity training and hearing the reasons why.
After all, if you work to really understand why people are resistant in the first place, you can create the right messages to help them see the practical benefits of diversity and inclusion work. Leaving workers who think differently out of the conversation is not the answer.
How Revoking a Ban Became a Band-Aid
The fundamental goal of diversity training should be enlightenment, which can be emotional for those new to the idea. So if you're going to dig deeper into social science, prepare to do some social work. If you're teaching people to be more sensitive to others but show only insensitivity toward them, expect poor results.
Because of these realities, compliance professionals must take diversity training a little bit deeper. Right now, companies largely double down on anti-bias training and diversity and inclusion messages when there is a crisis or a public relations disaster. That's the wrong approach. Successful programs require an understanding of skeptical people and a long-term commitment. Don't coddle employees who struggle with the concept. But also make sure they don't leave training sessions feeling shamed or ridiculed.
Unfortunately, many diversity training efforts fail due to skepticism or improper implementation. That's because people react to them differently, and sometimes in unexpected ways. Still, compliance professionals should carefully examine the ban created by President Trump's executive order, its revocation, and how to now get doubtful audiences on board.
Charting a New Course in Changing Times
As you renew complex discussions about equality and inclusion, do so with care and compassion. Here are a few ways to ensure more success in diversity training and affirmative action compliance moving forward:
1. Review your compliance and diversity training programs
Take some time to look at your communication. What message does this training send? Does it feel inclusive or exclusive? Your communication should convey the idea that everyone belongs. This requires identifying, recognizing, and confronting what "good" people experience, including the trainers. Fear is human, so keep compassion top of mind.
2. Do not alienate the other side
Both sides of the political spectrum can house inequality. The answer to discrimination and division cannot be more discrimination and division. It is hard to gain credibility if you host programs that attack one side of the political spectrum. And why go into these critical conversations knowing you'll offend at least 47.4 percent of the population?
3. Be skeptical of trending ideas
Although it is tempting to subscribe to every "breakthrough" idea, research it before you incorporate it. Yes, people are having a lot of great conversations right now about race theory and dominant culture systems. But fixing race relations takes time, thought, and hard work. You need more than flashy concepts with a "just do this" or "just do that" prescription.
4. Support outreach statements with action
Saying your "door is open" with no meaningful action is not enough. Actively reach out to employees and provide opportunities for them to share negative feedback—and not just positive thoughts. If you provide programs without getting feedback on your messaging, you've failed employees. Without input from others, diversity training becomes unilateral and chilling, much like the executive order. Instead, use feedback to achieve meaningful, lasting change.
If diversity training and affirmative action compliance were easy, it would be a non-issue at most companies; however, that is not the case. If you are exploring new ways to address inequality in the workplace, communication is key. It's time to collaborate with employees—with varying current belief systems—to address systemic racism in a way that works.

Employers May Soon Base Hiring Decisions on Your Social Media Posts. Will They "Like" You?
September 29, 2017 /Archives /by Beth Leslie
In almost every hiring process, there are competent, qualified candidates who don't get a job offer.
Ask people why this is, and they might suggest such things as strong competition, poor interview skills or a lack of experience in a particularly important area. Few would answer: "because they put too many exclamation marks in their private Facebook statuses."
Yet this could indeed be a hiring deal breaker in the not-too-distant future. Why? Because our social media profiles are set to become ever-more important to employers. Even seemingly minor traits, like our punctuation choices, will influence our job prospects.
Mirror, Mirror, on the Facebook Wall
Our social media reveals a lot about us. It shows who our friends are, where we work, what music we listen to, where we go on holiday, and even what we're thinking, in the form of status updates or tweets.
Even our "likes" can reveal a great deal about us, as a research team at the University of Cambridge found out. Their computer program analyzed the Facebook likes of volunteers before making predictions about aspects of their personality. After just ten likes, the computer proved a better judge of a person's character than their colleagues. Given 70 likes, the computer could outperform a friend, and 150 likes made it more accurate than a family member. After shifting through 300 of your Facebook likes, this computer would know you better than your partner or spouse.
The average Facebook user has 227 "likes". Michael Kosinski, the lead researcher, enthuses about his technology's potential to transform recruitment.
Why Would Employers Want This?
For many hiring managers, pinning down the personality of their applicants is key. This is because they want to employ a great "culture fit"; someone whose temperament suits the aims and ethos of the business and the role. Such employees gel better with existing staff members, stay longer, and perform better.
Moreover, Kosinski's data can be used to analyze a candidate's competence in the various soft skills employers look for – things like responsibility, decisiveness and self-motivation. Still wondering about those exclamation marks? The reason they may be regarded as a warning sign by hiring managers is because people who overuse them on their social media also tend to be reckless and overconfident.
Our social media is filled with similar tells. Claiming on your CV that you're responsible and diligent? Better check that when you make plans with friends you use precise instructions ("let's meet at 7.30pm") rather than general, open-ended comments ("let's meet tonight").
When Will Employers Start Using This Data?
Odds are, very soon. In fact, an attempt to use social media to judge people was announced by the insurer Admiral in late 2016. Admiral planned to use the data to generate car insurance quotes for drivers. (And yes, an abundance of exclamation points would have worked against you). Unfortunately for Admiral, Facebook blocked the project, citing privacy concerns.
However, there's no guarantee that Facebook – or indeed, any other social media platform – will always refuse to hand over its data. Moreover, employers are already using social media to make decisions about candidates, as hundreds of internet stories of people being caught with inappropriate photos, statuses and comments will attest.
Companies are also likely to put pressure on candidates to voluntarily share their data, perhaps by forcing job applicants to apply via Facebook.
Are There Any Benefits for Candidates?
Yes! One's of Admiral's reasons for its social-media scheme was to offer cheaper insurance to new drivers who couldn't prove their responsibility through years of no-claims history. Inexperienced job seekers could similarly gain. If their social media proves that they are hard-working and reliable, employers may be more willing to take a risk on them despite a lack of work experience or hard skills. That will help both ambitious career starters and people who want to make a career change later in life.
Moreover, the culture fit employers are screening for is important for candidates too. Having a job that suits your work habits and interests will make you happier and more successful. Indeed, because different companies want different things from candidates, most personality traits thrown up by social media analysis will strengthen your application in certain companies. Exclamation-mark-users may be sought out by employers who want staff who try new things and take risks.
What About the Negatives?
There are legitimate downsides to placing too much emphasis on data-driven decision making. For a start, although the software can detect personality traits with impressive accuracy, it is still fallible.
Moreover, it ignores the fact that many people are capable of adopting and sustaining a more professional personality for the workplace. Just because someone uses text speak on Twitter, for example, does not mean that they are incapable of creating well-written client emails. People change, but social media is forever. Software that burrows far into the past when making judgements may assess people only as they were once, and not as they are now.
Once this software is widely employed, savvy candidates will simply edit their social media to reflect the qualities employers want. Not only will this negate the point of the software, such manipulation of personal expression is enough to send George Orwell spinning in his grave.
Being judged on your Facebook likes seems like a terrifying prospect. But the fact is that employers have been using even the slightest of signals to make sweeping decisions about candidates for years. CVs containing a single typo have been unceremoniously thrown out. Middle-aged candidates are assessed on academic results they gained decades ago.
Incorporating our social media data into the hiring process will not eliminate bias and unfairness. Neither will it exacerbate it. No matter how much our technology advances, job hunting and hiring is likely to remain a process that is challenging, time-consuming, and, occasionally, unfathomable.

It's a good idea to ask another person about their opinion before you tell them your opinion loudly and strongly. Maybe they completely disagree with you. Here are ten ways to ask.
(What do think about) that?
Where do you stand (on...)?
What would you say to... / if we...?
Phrases 1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are followed by a noun or gerund (-ing form).
Phrases 1 and 2 are general phrases for asking for an opinion. We can use them both formally and informally. In informal speech, 'do you' becomes 'd'you?'.
We use phrase 6 (with that) after another sentence (e.g. They're going to build a new supermarket here. What do you think of that?).
Phrases 7 and 8 are more formal. You could use them in a business meeting and you might hear them on interviews on the news.
Phrase 9 is asking the other person's opinion of an idea or proposal. We follow 'to' with a noun or gerund and follow 'if we' with a sentence with a past verb.
Phrase 10 is an indirect way of asking for an opinion. We ask if the other person knows about the situation. They are then are expected to react with an opinion.

This tree is on Taylor Street in the city of Fort Wayne. A small church, the Emmanuel Assembly, owned a large plot of land along Taylor, and this sign has been posted on this tree for many years.
"Sin has an awful cost. It's repent or pay"
Down the street a short distance is another tree with a sign that reads; "You are on your way to Hell. Or Heaven. Proceed with caution."
Update: In January of 2014, I drove down Taylor Street for the first time in several months. The "Sin Has An Awful Cost" sign had been taken down. It had been there for decades, as long as I can remember going back to my childhood. I wonder why it came down? The "You Are On Your Way To Hell" sign down the street is still there.

This beautiful and absolutely stunning photograph of the Alfa Romeo 8C was originally a range of Alfa Romeo road, race and sports cars of the 1930s. In 2004 Alfa Romeo revived the 8C name for a V8-engined concept car which made it into production for 2007, the 8C Competizione. The 8C designates 8 cylinders, and originally a straight 8-cylinder engine. The Vittorio Jano designed 8C was Alfa Romeo's primary racing engine from its introduction in 1931 to its retirement in 1939. In addition to the two-seater sports cars it was used in the world's first genuine single-seat Grand Prix racing car, the Monoposto 'Tipo B' -P3 from 1932 onwards. In its later development it powered such vehicles as the twin-engined 1935 6.3-litre Bimotore, the 1935 3.8-litre Monoposto 8C 35 Type C, and the Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Mille Miglia Roadster. It also powered top-of-the-range coach-built production models, including a Touring Spider and Touring Berlinetta. This stunning photograph was taken by James Mann.

DISCLAIMER: This is OFFICIAL artwork © by Ricardo Santos
Ricardo Santos is a Portuguese art director and graphic designer. Currently working as a freelancer, Ricardo has given over the years glimpses of his talent at newspapers such as Diário de Notícias, 24 Horas and Jornal i, with the latter being awarded by the Society for News Design with the World's Best-Designed Newspaper, in 2010. Part of the design team that drew the journal from day one, Ricardo has since collected other awards while working at Turbo and AutoSport — two Portuguese icons regarding cars and motorsport. Always eager to accept a new challenge, it is in this particular environment that he thrives the most. His résumé includes covers and illustrations for international magazines such as american "Racer" or UK's "Top Gear", and world renowned brands like Ferrari, Nissan and Red Bull. A former rally co-driver, Ricardo's love for cars and motorsport has driven him to create illustrations of Formula 1 and rally cars from the 80's and 90's, all penned up on an irresistible retro style that remind us why we love racing: "I try to focus on the shape, the shadows, glows and colors of the cars to create simple but eye catching images, which I believe is a direct influence of my day job in newspapers and magazines trying to create simple and easy to understand work", he said on an interview for Motorsportretro.com, with the guys over there mesmerized by his work. A perfectionist by nature, motivated by giving that extra detail that makes the difference, Ricardo's work resemble his personality and can be purchased as prints here on this site.
"Ricardo's stunning illustrations take motorsports art in a whole new direction. His depictions of classic racing cars are as surprising as they are dramatic, and his ability to convey their essence is as much about what he leaves out as what he includes. It's been a privilege and a pleasure to showcase Ricardo's work on several striking and memorable RACER magazine covers."
Laurence Foster, Editor-in-Chief, RACER magazine
"Ricardo shows us his unique ability to abstract a racing car's visual complexity into an instantly recognizable expression, the kind of thing that's still alive in your eyes in the instant after the car flashes by on the track. With Santos, the impression is not a blur but instead an image that captures the moment and clarifies the car."
Michael Jordan, Porsche Panorama Magazine
"A master of design and illustration, and in capturing light and shadow and their play on the curvaceous contours of classic cars, Ricardo's work is striking. His minimalist, iconic style and the bright, block colour palettes of his works makes for confident, powerful images which instantly grab your attention.

The Yard Opens New Space In South Williamsburg At 195 Broadway
Published on July 17, 2018 – By Allwork.Space – Press
Snapshot of The Yard's newest location in South Williamsburg
Eleventh New York location offers modern, sun-filled offices in the historic Forman Family Building
New York — July 17, 2018 — The Yard, a revolutionary, shared office space, has opened its doors to its 11th location in New York and 14th location to date, The Yard: South Williamsburg. Located at the landmarked 195 Broadway, The Yard: South Williamsburg provides a full-service office experience with resources, amenities and an engaging on-site team to help entrepreneurs and creatives focus on their business's growth without worrying about day-to-day office needs.
Sharing one of South Williamsburg's most iconic corners with the famous Peter Luger Steak House and the historic Williamsburgh Savings Bank, The Yard: South Williamsburg is set in a prime location for local Brooklyn entrepreneurs and Manhattan commuters. With spectacular views of the Williamsburg Bridge and steps from the J/M/Z train-line, the new space is ideal for those preparing for the L Train shutdown early next year. The new space features private offices, dedicated desks, and coworking areas throughout the third and fourth floors of the historic Forman Building. Skylights and ample windows create quintessential Brooklyn backdrops for the modern entrepreneur.
"It's never been a better time to be an entrepreneur in Brooklyn," said Morris Levy, co-founder and CEO of The Yard. "We opened our very first location in Williamsburg in 2011 because we saw a community that was taking innovation to the next level. Seeing the accelerated growth in the South Williamsburg community, we're returning to our roots to help the next generation of Brooklyn-born businesses."
Open coworking memberships in the new location start at $295/month, dedicated desks at $450/month, and private offices at $775/month. Members will have access to spacious lounges, state-of-the-art conference rooms, kitchens stocked with coffee and tea, curated events, and a built-in community of like-minded innovators. The Yard will be hosting an event on July 17th to celebrate the grand opening and premiere the first art exhibit in the space through The Yard's Art Program.
Established in 2011, The Yard's locations in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and Washington, D.C. have helped thousands of entrepreneurs grow their businesses. The Yard provides a refined workspace experience with networking opportunities, valuable business resources, and a unique community, culture, and design for sophisticated professionals. Members are innovators in their fields, which include architecture, real estate, technology, marketing, advertising, design, art, publishing, finance, film and culture, among others.
Opening Art Exhibit
With a quarterly rotation of local art exhibits, The Yard's Art Program curates a focused and inspiring work environment for modern workers. The program helps to inspire fresh perspectives while provoking thoughtful conversation and collaboration between members.
Curated by Deborah Oster Pannell, the opening art exhibit "Organic / Inorganic" features works by Sui Park, Diane Davis, and R&D (Diane Rosenblum and Joe Doyle). The gallery showcases a collection of 3-D constructions, vibrantly colored paintings, and digital prints. The exhibit will run through October 2018 and is part of The Yard's rotating exhibits.
Curator Deborah Oster Pannell's perspective is informed by decades of experience in many creative fields, including music, theatre and film. Her work as a curator spans the fields of visual art, poetry, spoken word, music and dance, with numerous interdisciplinary, collaborative projects currently in the works.
Permanent, original artwork was created by Chris Ghiraldi emblematic of the the transit of the city and reflecting the energy of Williamsburg. His site-specific work "Tube City" can be found between both floors of the space.

Bill Paxton and Glenne Headly, who played the parents of Mae, would both pass away the year of the film's release. Paxton died two months prior to the film's release on February 25 due to complications from heart surgery, and Headly died of a pulmonary embolism less than two months after the film's release on June 8.

Social Media involvement in political manipulation? Don't be ridiculous!
Set in the near future "The Circle" tells a horror story of the social media age involving an omnipotent American corporate, pitched somewhere between being Facebook-like and Google-like (note, lawyers, I just said "like"!) Emma Watson ("Beauty and the Beast") plays young intern Mae who, partly through the aid of family friend Annie (Karen Gillan, "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Doctor Who") but mostly through her own aptitude, lands a foothold job in customer services for the company. With the lush corporate campus fast becoming home, Mae is quickly singled out as having "executive potential" by the charismatic CEO Bailey (Tom Hanks, "Bridge of Spies") and his more taciturn sidekick Stenton (US comedian Patton Oswalt).
Progressively brainwashed into believing the company's intrusive snooping (a favourite motto is "Secrets are Lies") is all for 'the greater good', Mae champions the cause until a tragedy rocks her world and her company beliefs to the core.
Whenever I watch a film I tend to form my own opinion first before checking out what the 'general public' on IMDb think. In this case, I must confess to being a bit surprised at our divergence of views: a lot of people clearly hated this movie whereas I confess that I found it very entertaining. Certainly with the alleged role of Russia in influencing elections around the world via social media, the film is most certainly topical! Many reviewers seemed quite upset that Watson's character is such a 'doormat', in that her views are so easily manipulated by the corporate machine. But not every woman – as indeed every man – can or should be a Joan of Arc style role model in every film: why should they be?
I actually found her indoctrination into "the Circle way" as quite convincing, especially a creepy scene where two corporate lackies (Cho Smith and Amir Talai) say that they're not checking up on Mae's social life, but…. Watson enjoys extending her post-Potter repertoire well, but the talented John Boyega ("Star Wars: The Force Awakens") is completely wasted in his role as Ty; the Wozniak-like genius behind The Circle's technology. The script gives him very little to do other than stand around and look grumpy.
The film is sad in being the last movie appearance of the great Bill Paxton ("Apollo 13") who plays Mae's sick father and who died of complications following heart surgery two months before the film's release (the film is dedicated "For Bill"). Tragically, Mae's mother in the film, actress Glenn Headly ("Dirty Rotten Scoundrels") also died suddenly at the age of 62, also due to heart problems, a couple of months after the film's release. It's surprising the film doesn't have a "curse of The Circle" tag on it.
The film was directed by James Ponsoldt, who also wrote the screenplay with novel-writer Dave Eggers ("Away We Go"). I particularly liked the on-screen use of captioning (posts) which was reminiscent to me of last year's "Nerve", a B-movie film I rated highly that also had a string social media theme.
While the ending of the film is a bit twee – a movie definition of "being hoisted by your own petard" – it's overall a thought provoking piece sufficiently close to the truth as to where society is going to raise the hairs on your neck.

At least five people people including a top Republican congressman were wounded in a Washington suburb early Wednesday morning when a shooting erupted as they practiced for an annual baseball game between lawmakers.
Senior congressman Steve Scalise was shot in the hip, according to fellow Republican lawmaker Mo Brooks who told CNN at least two law enforcement officers and one congressional staffer were also shot in the incident in Alexandria, Virginia.
"Five people were transported medically from the scene," Alexandria police chief Michael Brown told a press conference.
Police said the shooting suspect was in custody and "not a threat."
President Donald Trump said he was closely monitoring the developments in Virginia, and that Scalise, the majority whip who rallies Republican votes in the House of Representatives, was expected to recover.
"Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, a true friend and patriot, was badly injured but will fully recover. Our thoughts and prayers are with him," Trump tweeted.
In a statement earlier, Trump described himself as "deeply saddened by this tragedy," saying his "thoughts and prayers are with the members of Congress, their staffs, Capitol Police, first responders and all others affected."
About 25 senators and congressmen were at the practice, according to Senator Jeff Flake who told reporters some 50 shots rang out in the exchange of fire between the gunman and the lawmakers' security detail, at around 6:30 am (1030 GMT).
Flake said the suspect was a white man with dark hair, apparently in his 40s or 50s, wearing jeans and a blue shirt.
Asked whether he thought it was a random shooting, Brooks told CNN: "It sure as heck wasn't an accident."
"People know this is the Republican baseball team practicing," he said. "You can tell. You can recognize many of us. You can see our security detail."
"It is pretty well known at the neighborhood who those folks are on the baseball field and where we practice."
"He knew who we were. I'm a former prosecutor and, yeah, he was going after elected officials, congressmen."
Brooks described chaotic scenes after Scalise was shot.
"He was not able to move on his own power. He was dragging his body from the second base infield to the outfield to get away from the shooter while all this firing was going on," Brooks said.
"He is a physician and we deferred to his judgment on what to do. I held a cloth over the wound to stop the bleeding as Brad was getting some kind of scissors device to cut through the pants to try to have better access to Steve Scalise's wound and his hip."
Brooks said he took off his belt and used it as a tourniquet to stop the bleeding on a staffer who was shot in the leg.
Local schools were locked down.
"A lock-in takes place if a threat is identified outside the school. All school doors are locked but classes continue as normal. No entry into or exit from the school will be allowed," said a message from Alexandria City Public Schools.
Scalise, a representative from the southern state of Louisiana elected to Congress in 2008, heads the conservative House caucus known as the Republican Study Committee.
The staunch conservative is among the lawmakers leaving the drive to repeal former president Barack Obama's signature health care law, among other top Republican priorities.

In this niche site case study part 2 we will take a closer look at the first 3 months.
We will dig deeper into traffic, rankings, and earnings.
When first starting your blog your main focus should be to create quality content on a regular basis.
You want to get a solid content base for your site so that your readers get value and enjoy their visit.
If you missed the first part on how to set up your niche site for success, you can read that post here.
By doing a "visitor profile" you know who you are targeting and who you are writing for.
This is information that you can get by doing research online. I like to read through the targeted product reviews on Amazon to get a picture of WHO the person is purchasing the products I will be promoting. I also go on niche forums to see who hang out there and ask questions about my specific topic.
In the 6-month case study update, we will be digging deeper into Google Analytic to evaluate the "visitor information". You can get a lot of valuable information about your visitors using Google Analytic, so make sure that you have that installed on your site.
What Did I do to Get Traffic the First 3 Months?
Content Creation – the main focus the first months is to create good quality content that will create value for my visitors.
I focus on a "Top 10 review" page that will link to 10 different in-depth product reviews.
When this is done I can create helpful content on relevant topics to link to the "Top 10 review" page.
Outsourcing – I also found a writer so that I can outsource some of my content writing. I will create the main pillar articles myself such as the in-depth reviews. I will then have my writer create content on long tail keywords, to point to the " Top 10 review" page.
For more info on writing headlines visit my post 5 easy ways to write a catchy headline.
The frequency of post submission – Personally I find the WordPress scheduling feature being my best friend. This allows me to submit my posts ahead of time and schedule them for a specific date and time. This makes it easy to plan ahead and submit content on a regular basis. I can also be ahead of the posting schedule by a month or so.
With this site, I submit blog posts twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays.
Keeping this schedule will allow me to submit 104 posts yearly, over time the site will grow steadily.
I do have plans in the future to add at least one more post weekly. I don`t want to take on more than I can handle though (since this is not my only site).
Find a posting schedule that will work for you! That might be posting ones a week or ones daily, this is up to you. Go with something that will work for you long time though.
Social Media – I did set up a Twitter account for this website. I tweet some of the posts to get the word out there. I also use Pinterest to pin the pictures on the site.
YouTube – I am a big fan of using videos to get traffic. I created a couple of screen-cast videos but this is definitely something that I want to get in the habit of doing more of.
What I`m looking for here is a positive trend, we want the curve to go up.
It's a good trend with increased users so I`m happy about that.
75% bounce rate. I`m not too concerned about that either. Some of the traffic goes directly to the in-depth reviews and if it does I want them to click through to Amazon. If they do that means that they bounce off the site after only visiting 1 page.
My goal was to reach 1000 visitors, so that goal I met, good start.
What Did I do to Get Rankings the First 3 Months?
To be honest I`m not too concerned about the rankings when first starting out. This is not something I spend a lot of time checking. This is, of course, important over time, but if you submit helpful well-written content with value it will rank.
Here are a few additional things that I did to improve the chance of good search engine rankings.
Use of long tail Keywords – I use long tail keywords. These are keywords with lower search volumes but they are often easier to rank for. Having lots of long tail keywords rank well for you, will over time help you increase traffic. I use this keyword tool to find my keywords.
Use of internal links – I link between the content on my site. If the content is relevant to posts and pages, I link them.
Link out to other authority sites in the niche, outbound links – Linking out to other authority sites, will benefit you. This is something that proofs to the search engines that you want to provide value by giving your visitors more relevant information even though it`s not on your own site.
What About Inbound Links? – In this case, I did use a couple of social media accounts to build some incoming links. Other than that I have not done much actively to do any link building.
The same goes for rankings as for traffic, I want to see a positive trend and curve. The more content I add the more rankings I want to get. Like I mentioned, good content will do that for you.
I use SemRush to check on my rankings. With you can do a certain amount of searches daily for free, so take advantage of that. They give you a great overview of your rankings.
As you can see we have a positive trend with the keyword rankings. It`s all free organic listings.
Another tool that I use to check rankings is Jaaxy.
You just type in your keyword and the URL of your site and Jaaxy will check your rankings. The great thing is that if you come back and check the keyword you can see the position change as well.
What Did I do to Get Sales the First 3 Months?
Content – the first 3 months I worked on getting good quality content on my site. I worked on a Top 10 review page, linking to in-depth reviews. This took some time to get all this setup.
Why monetize with Amazon? To be honest I`ve stayed away from Amazon for years. I always thought why to spend the time making a few dollars per sale when you can make a ton more promoting downloadable products for example.
I find that Amazon products convert well, very well if you send targeted traffic.
People are very familiar with Amazon and not afraid to open their wallets if they find the product they are looking for.
Amazon also have unlimited products to promote, which makes it nice for us affiliate marketers.
Send the customer to Amazon and get paid for everything they purchase within 24 hours. You will get surprised about some of the items they purchase.
The holidays are great for marketing physical products.
For this site and case study at least starting out Amazon will be the major monetizing method. If you want more benefits monetizing with Amazon check out this article – 6 benefits monetizing with Amazon.
So looking at the sales how many sales did this site generate the first 3 months?
My goal was to reach 10 sales monthly by month 3, I didn`t reach that goal but at least I`m seeing some sales. That`s good since it`s a new site.
Sub-niche 1 that I work with is geared toward the winter months, it`s a little bit of a seasonal product. So I`m not too surprised with the sales numbers. The traffic is going in the right direction, the rankings are going in the right directions, so I`m not too worried about the sales numbers going down.
Sub-niche 2 will be an all around year product to balance out the ups and downs with the seasonal sub-niche.
I`m excited to see how long it will take to get the site to making me some money. With any new site or business, you will have to be patient.
In the 6 month post, we will also take a look at conversions. I like to do that when I have a little bit more numbers to go on.
I want to continue submitting 2 posts weekly, content that I outsource.
I also want to create a couple more pillar articles.
If you missed Part 1, How to set up your niche site for success you can read that here.
Now live… Part 3, 6 Month Update Is the Site Out of the Red Yet.
I hope you enjoyed this article, 3 Month update of this Amazon case study, read the latest update on the site here.
I would love to hear from you, feel free to leave a comment below.
Have a productive day and a great week!
Once again, wonderfully in-depth post! It's encouraging to see the success you had by doing simple things that are also completely ethical. I really like that you focused on content and gave people buying options that they already knew and trusted.
Two blog posts a week sounds perfectly manageable, especially when you consider that it will generate over a hundred blog posts in a year!
It is the building over time, that will create more and more content and more and more visitors.
Setting a schedule and sticking with it, will greatly benefit.
Some say that you will "sell" more only giving one alternative. My take is that if there are different solutions for different problems and people all though it`s the same type of product, why not present it all so that the visitor can get the right solution for them.
Our visitors are smart consumers that know what they need, saying there is only one alternative… well that`s simply not true. That`s why I like giving them the alternatives outline the good and the bad and leave the decision making up to my visitors.
you're growth in traffic is amazing. And just for using the right long-tailed keywords. WOW. Great to see. Do you get any traffic coming from pinterest? I've the feeling pinterest is the worst social media ever. To generate followers is almost impossible to me. Do you have a tip?
Pinterest is actually one of the social media outlets that I enjoy using. I think though that there are some niches/topics better suited than others. Some topics are more visual than others but you can always implement fun relevant pictures even into a niche like online marketing. As with any social media you need to interact with other users and provide value.
Enjoyed the read and I definitely picked up some tips for my own site. I am still very much in the learning phase with online marketing and information like you provided can only help. Like the fact you posted real earnings. You have stated you prefer working with Amazon. Have you worked with Clickbank and if so what is your opinion on them?
Enjoyed this article Vicky. I really enjoy it when things are broken down clear and concise. Its refreshing to see such transparency with niche builds. I will be coming back for sure!
Very useful information Vicky. It's good to see a case study that is well written, easy to read and understand..
You've seemed to cover everything, which makes it a very resourceful site.
So you are writing the pillar article AND the 10 in depth reviews? or are you outsourcing the 10 reviews, writing the "top 10…review" page and then posting them all together to start?
I'm a little confused, I thought you were just writing 2 pillar articles a month. Please help me understand!
Yup, makes sense. Thank you! I am excited to find a great writer to work with and great an awesome site. How many word articles do you usually get them to write? $6 an article seems so cheap!
Hi, I now usually pay $7 – $8 for 500 words + articles.


We often hear the phrase, "born to lead" from childhood. Some kids are trained to hear from their parents, that you have to be wise and hardworking enough to "lead", in life even I was one of them. Yes I did have those qualities, that makes you a leader dynamism, focussed, and also the trainings and skills required to be a leader. My parents always encouraged me to believe in myself and work hard to achieve what I aimed to achieve.
But surprisingly when I came to the knowledge of "Christ" in the year 1998, I came to know a different truth altogether.
Two scriptures were eyeopeners for me and I am inspired to share them with you today.
Just imagine what a powerful assurance it is from your creator.Even if you feel, you are weak and not a 'leader material", just know that, its not your talents and wisdom that makes you successful alone. its your 'Humility" and your "faith" as well that makes you go places when you run your race with God..it becomes "Grace".
If ever, the doubt comes, whether you will make it large in life? Then just know. God had given you enough "Grace", enough talents and abilities….for the 'step' that you are on "now'.
If He has filled you with dreams and desires, He will bring it to pass, and make you successful too:) No worries.
