Everyone loves a great t-shirt. We all have our favorites, even if we don't sport a company or team logo tee every day. And as a marketer, you want to make sure YOUR t-shirt is the one that gets pulled from the drawer first. After all, a shirt that only gets worn once – or not at all – is a waste of money and time. With all sorts of colors, cuts and fabrics to consider that seemingly simple t-shirt order can feel like a real chore. But it doesn't have to be. The Dunstan Group recommends these considerations for a trouble-free t-shirt order!
Goals and Objectives: Why t-shirts? There are any number of opportunities to produce a great looking t-shirt! Are you outfitting a team, a work crew, or for a company trade show? Are you hosting an event, launching a new product or service, or stocking a company store? For every reason to print a quality shirt with your company or team logo, you'll want to make sure you're working with a company that will help you stay true to your brand identity, your project goals, your budget and timeline. At the end of the day, this is really more than just a t-shirt – it's a marketing opportunity.
Budget: Not always as straightforward as it seems, knowing how much you'll be able to commit to your branded apparel project sets the tone for the results. But, there are lots of contributing factors to this bottom line. Can you leverage co-op dollars to help fund it? Will you be gifting or giving away these tees? Is there an entry fee associated with the shirts' delivery? Answers to these questions may hinge upon your goals and objectives, so be sure to define your purpose for producing the product!
Timeline: Yes, The Dunstan Group can help you pull off a miracle when it matters most, but that's not always the ideal arrangement. The more lead time, the better, when it comes to producing a project everyone can be proud of. Once you've got a date on the calendar, let's talk. Sometimes that speciality color or fabric that could set your project apart from the pack could require a few days extra to ship. At The Dunstan Group, we work as often as we can with local suppliers to shrink the time it takes to get the job done, but why wait? Take the worry out of the process and get started sooner rather than later!
Artwork and Color: Art, color, and graphic design are big players in getting your t-shirt project from a good idea to an out-of-this-world result. If you don't speak the language of print and embroidery, The Dunstan Group can translate. Again, with the timeline. Your company logo or custom artwork might look great on that letterhead, but may require some additional edits in order to fit your t-shirt. Make time for great results and you're sure to get them!
Quality over Quantity: Often one of the most difficult decisions, but the right call here can make a big difference. Look back at your goals, objectives, timeline and budget. Are you outfitting the entire company for a one-time group photo session? Are these tees for an event you'll hope participants will remember for a long, long time? The Dunstan Group can help you select the right tool, or t-shirt, for the job. T-shirts aren't one-size-fits-all, after all!

Death SS (later also intended as a contraction of In Death of Steve Sylvester) is an Italian heavy metal band.

Biography
Death SS was formed in 1977 in Pesaro by Steve Sylvester (born Stefano Silvestri), a future member of the Ordo Templi Orientis, and Paul Chain (Paolo Catena), who would later embrace an experimental form of doom metal with his solo project, Paul Chain Violet Theatre. The band combined elements of horror, occultism and heavy metal to become a pioneer in horror metal  and black metal; the musical style is called "horror music" by the band. Sylvester left the band in 1982 and Chain replaced him with Sanctis Ghoram (featured on the Evil Metal EP) before closing the project in 1984 to start his solo career. Sylvester reformed the band in 1988 (with him being the only original member). This new incarnation of the band recorded their first full-length album, ...in Death of Steve Sylvester. There would be many line-up changes in the years to come, with Sylvester once again being the only constant.

The album Panic was partially recorded in the US, with Neil Kernon as a producer, because the band liked his work for artists such as Queensrÿche, Judas Priest, Dokken, Nevermore, David Bowie, Rush and Skrew and had, according to Sylvester, "a particular touch in the dark side of Heavy Metal [...] that we were looking for". The band's management contacted Kernon, who accepted after listening to the band's demos of the new songs. The album was released in 2000 by Sylvester's own label, Lucifer Rising, and Dream Catcher.

Here's a new how-to guide on making terrariums at the Michigan live website. The how-to focuses on creating sustainable ecosystems within terrariums to foster long-term plant growth. The article suggests using clay pellets as a purification filter for the system instead of charcoal as the pellets are supposed to last 3 years or more and charcoal can "wear out." I have never heard of these clay pellets- has anyone else had any experience with them?
Many terrarium tutorials suggest adding a layer of charcoal to keep odors at bay, but local experts say the charcoal only works for a couple of years. If you plan to maintain your terrarium for longer, substitute a layer of fired clay pellets. These are commonly used in place of dirt in hydroculture systems.
How interesting, well worth considering.
I would wonder the same thing myself. I would like to make a sustainable terrarium with no Sphagnum (peat moss) and no charcoal. I live in the pottery capital of North Carolina, we have a lot of red clay here, so fired clay pellets seems like something that I could get locally. Have you guys learned any more about this?
I imagine clay pellets would make a fine base layer for a terrarium but I am not sure if they would be as effective at filtration as aquarium charcoal. Let us know how it goes!

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (AP) - An upstate New York tavern owner who gained fame for serving free Sunday meals at his biker bar for more than three decades has died.
According to an obituary posted on the Glenville Funeral Home's website, Donald Birch died Tuesday at his home. He was 79. A cause of death wasn't given.
Birch was an engine repair shop owner and Harley-Davidson-riding motorcycle enthusiast who opened the Saw Mill Tavern in a blue-collar Schenectady neighborhood in the late 1970s. In 1980, he began offering free Sunday buffets for his customers and needy residents of a city hit hard by job losses at the local General Election operations.
The free hot meals continued until March 2011, when the effects of the recession took a toll on the business at his biker-friendly corner bar.


The chip maker moves to spread its technology in the enterprise market by cultivating vertical solutions and channel partners.
AMD is leveraging vertical solutions and partners to make its microprocessors more relevant and valuable to a broader range of enterprise customers.
The Sunnyvale, Calif., chip maker is cultivating a vertical approach, identifying industry-specific solutions and commercial system channel partners with specific business process expertise as part of a strategy to demonstrate value to enterprise customers and new answers to their business problems, Advanced Micro Devices executives told eWEEK.
"Customers want solutions, not pieces of technology, and they want the solution proof points that relate to their business," said Michael O'Brien, director of worldwide commercial channels for AMD.
"We are aligning ourselves with the right solutions and right verticals, so that a customer can see the proof points, the benefits, and have a conversation with a partner working in the field," he said.
AMD has no formal vertical solutions program, such as IBM's PartnerWorld Industry Networks, but AMD channel executives are identifying industries where its dual-core AMD64 technology can differentiate itself and cataloging partners and solutions that can penetrate those markets, said Kevin Knox, AMD's Vice President of Commercial Business. It is likely a formal vertical solutions program will take shape, he said.
Since launching a formal Commercial System Channel Program in late October, AMD has added 500 partners, about half of which have a vertical focus or a solution tailored to a specific industry, AMD said.
More than 40 solutions have already materialized to be marketed to AMD's commercials systems customers.
Among the first industries to receive significant notice from the strategy has been the finance market, where processes such as risk analysis are likely to benefit from AMD64's computing power, Knox said. For those businesses that measure productivity of transactions in terms of X amount was generated or X amount was saved, "We present a real value proposition," he said.

AMD has made close ties between partners and internal engineers a keystone of its program, Knox and partners said.
Innovativ, a systems integrator based in Edison, N.J., has made use of AMD's access inside the product to produce a thin-client-based solution, working with Sun Microsystems, for telecommunications companies.
"We needed [AMD] to peel back the product at the deepest layers," said Gerard McGowan, Innovativ's strategic marketing and information officer. "We needed to understand the foundation of the product to layer the appropriate applications in the appropriate places to design the solution we wanted. That kind of cooperation is hard to find. At most manufacturers that is like pulling teeth."
To arm its partners, AMD has enhanced its Commercial Systems Channel Program portal, adding a self-registration capability that allows participants to post member profiles and register solutions powered by AMD technology. Once registered, partners can classify and search based on the type of solution they're registering or researching.
Additionally, the portal is designed to allow access to tools, information and training materials through a Resource Center, including white papers, benchmarks and success stories.
"We're providing them with the material they need from a sales technique perspective," O'Brien said.
The strategy is a sign of the times at AMD, Knox said.
"The biggest difference between AMD a few years ago and AMD today is we are delivering solutions," Knox said. "Before it was a component, a piece of the technology infrastructure. Now we go to market as part of the solution stack—AMD, hardware, software, the operating system, applications and the delivery model. That is what delivers value."


PageRank is still important in Google search engine rankings, yet I come across many people giving out misleading details about PageRank (PR) that it doesn't hold any importance and Google ignores PageRank in its ranking algorithm.
But I see it as something that is some kind of SEO misinformation being spread across the web, even long time bloggers claim that it has no value anymore and its useless.
Here are some of the truths about SEO and PR that you need to know on why it still holds some value when it comes to your SEO campaign.
It's an undeniable fact that higher PageRank sites carries more authority than lower PR ones, meaning Google has some trust over these high PR sites.
Higher PageRank sites are crawled more often and also indexed more rapidly than lower PR sites. Also the High PR sites are crawled more deeply and this is a proven fact and not an SEO myth.
As I mentioned before high PageRank sites carries more authority so links from a higher PR site will have more value than a link from a low PageRank site and chances are that you may rank high and also pass the Google sandbox by building links on them.
I know many of you may not agree with this point, but both directly and indirectly, when you build your links on a higher PageRank site it holds more value and also when you have a high PR site it means you are already holding some authority, they may not play a big role in ranking but still it does play a considerable role.
When you want to buy or sell a website or a domain, PageRank is still taken as an indicator and higher PageRank domains and sites holds more value than lower PageRank sites. Try selling a PR0 domain and see how much you get, there's intrinsic value to Pr to other webmasters.


For those of you who haven't seen this chart-tracking hack, I present it in the hopes it will help at least one person. For complicated patterns, we often need to track what row we're on. Sometimes that results in a printed copy that you mark off and then erase the marks for the next repeat. The trouble there is that after a few repeats, the paper wears out or turns too grey to see the marks. Yes, there are clickers you can use for row counting, but visually, it's easy to have your eyes jump to the wrong row.
I offer an alternative: place the page you need to track into a clear sheet protector and make your marks with a wet-erase marker. The advantage is that you can make lots of marks and simply use a wet paper towel to erase them all later, e.g. between repeats. The advantage of a wet-erase over a dry-erase marker is that once it dries, you're unlikely to accidentally wipe it off by brushing your hand or the work over the page.
This wet-erase tactic is what I'm using for the Nordic Blanket pattern. The written instructions are in one sheet protector and the graph in another. You can see I've also marked in the graph where the written instructions change. The beauty of this is that I can erase those extra marks along with the strike-through lines once I've completed the repeat.
Written instructions, including tally marks and struck-out lines in wet-erase marker.
Graphic chart with completed lines struck through in wet-erase marker.
If you're knitting in a place where you won't have easy access to wet paper towels, you can simply bring extra sheet protectors and move the page to a fresh one, or turn it over in the same sheet protector to hold you over until you can erase the marks.
Yarn Philosophy: The end of one skein is just the beginning of another.
One of the dangers of being too close to a black hole is spaghettification. If a Yarnblob got close to a black hole, would it stretch long enough to create a whole skein?
Rainy Saturday Yarnblob defies your gloomy skies and low temperatures!
I finally finished this one (yay!). I used the Sonoma colorway of Bernat Blanket yarn, and the Angled Eyelets Blanket pattern from Bernat/Yarnspirations (the "came-with-it" pattern printed on the label). It turned out nicely, I think; the pattern called for a solid color yarn, but that's boring. I like how this colorway varied between pooling and striping.
The yarn created a thick material that's balanced out with the eyelets so it 's warm but doesn't get too hot, and thankfully, doesn't shed.
This blanket is sheep approved!

What Does Miscarriage Cramps Feel Like?
What kinds of emotions am I likely to experience during a miscarriage?A miscarriage can occur in the early stages of pregnancy in many women without them even being aware of it.They can just believe that they are experiencing a particularly heavy menstruation.If this occurs to you, you may have cramps, bleeding that is heavier than usual, discomfort in your stomach, pelvic, or back, and a general feeling of weakness.

Oh, the '64 version. Much better than the '92 remake.
I'm not surprised you ended up watching it twice on youtube.com. You swear that you'll only watch one scene, but what's one more? And another. And another. 😀
The following people thank skye for this post:

Ad hoc, ad loc, and quid pro quo! So little time! So much to know!
There was a '92 remake? I didn't know of this. Was it any good?
Pepperland
I may be wrong, but I think that was a slightly sarcastic remark. We all know it was called A Hard Day's Night, so why call it A Hard Day's Night 1964?

Naughty Skye being facetious
I remember when the BBC showed this at Christmas (aroung 1971). So many people had never seen it before. It was fantastic and I believe it opened up a new wave of interest in the group.
"If we feel our heads starting to swell.....we just look at Ringo!"
Joking! But can't you just picture Joey Lawrence saying, "I'm a mocker. Whoa!". Thank God Hollywood hasn't dared to remake this one.
I don't think I can picture Joey Lawrence saying, "I am a mocker." HA! And I can't picture Hollywood remaking it...nobody can imitate that movie, ever. And if Hollywood did remake it, it would definitley be a crappy movie because I mean you cannot imitate a Beatle, eh?
The following people thank Sunii for this post:
Beatlebug, Mademoiselle Kitty >^..^<
Hehe. I was trying to think of the most cringe-worthy remake possible, short of adding Captain Planet or Urkel to the mix. That's just cruel. I wouldn't put it passed Hollywood. They did remake The Pink Panther. Twice.
They're giving it a try with the Yellow Submarine remake. Based on little information out there, I've decided to keep my torches and pitchforks in the shed - for now.
Trying to remake Yellow Submarine ? If they do, the movie will be just as worse as Across The Universe . Once again, you cannot remake a Beatles movie.
Sorry. Cast list announced for Robert Zemeckis' Yellow Submarine remake
Hmm. Was this ever on topic?
Here's a question: would it have worked in color? I came across this picture and it got me wondering.
I think I prefer it it black and white (as if we had the option of color) since it contrasts nicely with the films that followed.
I think it would have worked IF it had never been black & white. Cliff Richard's movies (filmed befroe AHDN ) were in colour and they worked fine.
It was more of a budget than an artistic issue with this movie. Which is funny because it seems more artsy in b&w now. I think the Can't Buy Me Love field scene would have been nice in color.
I prefer it in black n' white. Don't ask why, but I love black n' white better than color!
But I do agree that the Can't Buy Me Love scene would look fab in color!
iCaramba
Sunii said:
Which one? There were two "Can't Buy Me Love " scenes… the field and the police chase.
I'm sure you mean the "Sorry we hurt your field, Mister!" scene… and I agree, it would look cool in color. I also love the black and white feel of the film… really makes it feel like it came from another era.
Speaking of the police chase, I love when they make it into the police station just to catch their breath… when the sergeant asks John, "You all right?" and he nods and they just take off again. Hehehe.. adorable!
iCaramba said:
I love that part!
Oh, and btw, I was talking about the field scene. But either one would look fab in color, of course!
Find me in my field of grass
Paris Olympia
Ah! Adorable.
I rewind that part too many times in one showing... aiyee!
On the whole colour front, I think it would make the film more present and maybe give it a better or more broad audience today as I know too many people have a thing against black and white films... over my head, I don't know why.
Though, I myself love the black n' white. Hello, early 60s! That's what it's all about.
Tongue, lose thy light. Moon, take thy flight… see ya, George!
Thought I'd revive this thread with a question:
I re-watched to movie today for about the 90th time, and sang along as per usual. I noticed I was having a bit of trouble reaching some of the notes as they are noticeably lower than studio recordings! Why is that? Not quite by an octave, but If I Fell , I'm Happy Just To Dance With You , Tell Me Why and And I Love Her especially (and probably others, didn't take note of those) are all notes below.
Someone enlighten me?
The following people thank Sun Queen for this post:
I think I might have to watch it again (how terrible), because I listened to my regular copy and my soundtrack version of If I Fell , and I didn't hear much of difference. (Smooth.
Edit: OK, did a little youtube research. Not surprising, you're right!
Here's the BBC version:
The 'other' version:
Still have no idea why, but at least I could confirm your findings. (Right?)
I might be able to help here. Tapes of the mono mixes were given to United Artists and Capitol to be used in the film and soundtrack in the US.
As United Artists (UA) made the film, George Martin and EMI weren't responsible for how the songs were used in the film beyond recording and mixing them. The playback of the songs in the film was, presumably, down to UA. Perhaps when they assembled the film versions their tape machines were set to play at a different speed, or they thought for some reason it sounded better.
Here are some links about the mixes for the soundtrack, which were given to UA:
http://www.beatlesbible.com/19.....your-name/ (mixes for both EMI and UA/Capitol)
http://www.beatlesbible.com/19.....ays-night/
http://www.beatlesbible.com/19.....aid-today/ (tape compiled for UA/Capitol)
I've never heard the United Artists version of the AHDN soundtrack. If anyone here has a copy, could they let us know whether the songs are at different speeds/pitches as well?

BLOG: The Thermal Baths in Vals, Switzerland
As part of our inspiring buildings series MEB Design Director Paul Weston, who leads on Wellbeing & Health communities, reflects on the inspirational Thermal Baths in Vals, Switzerland designed by Pritzker Prize winning architect Peter Zumthor. Check out his blog below.
The Thermal Baths in Vals, Switzerland: Enriching wellbeing and revealing the impact on the wider community
During October 2018 I travelled to Vals, Switzerland to visit the Thermal Baths, competed in 1996. I was struck by the reasons I keep returning to this place high in the Swiss Alps and why it represents a special place in my life.
There is more to Vals than just aesthetics
The first time I saw the baths was when I arrived at Manchester University in 1997. It had just been completed and featured in the architectural journals of the day. Aesthetically and intellectually the alluring images whet the appetite for architects internationally but what I saw on my first visit was that there was much more to the project than just pure aesthetics.
The most powerful aspect of the building is the people. This might sound obvious but a quick google photo search requires some searching before a single human is seen. Consequently, entering the baths comes as somewhat of a shock. The quartzite slab benches are covered in towels, dressing gowns, slippers, books (admittedly greys, whites and blacks).
Suddenly, the building makes sense. The scale is put in perspective and the aesthetics give way to a sense of exploration. The only other buildings I have had the same feeling is in a cathedral or church. Once the sense of awe subsides and people start to orientate themselves a sense of fun and exploration takes over. The sight and sound of children, young people and older persons from all over the world laughing, relaxing, chatting and reflecting together gives me great pleasure and sense of wellbeing.
The building is not rarified and inaccessible
It is easy to think on the surface that the baths would be inaccessible to anyone but the rich and aesthetic. I can't pretend that accessing the baths is cheap but entry is reasonable if staying in the village. This connection means that it is possible to stay in reasonably priced accommodation and enjoy this feat of architecture.
Being within a community is another reason to return to Vals. The view of the building set against the 1960's holiday apartment blocks is a shock at first but when viewed with the backdrop of an old Swiss town the building softens into the landscape. The impact of this building on the wider community has been positive for local people and visitors alike. The use of extraordinary architecture clearly has an impact both in a civic sense but also something deeper.
Extraordinary architecture releases powerful emotions
The whole building is a testament to how architectural quality can release powerful feeling. As I alluded to earlier there is a connection to the feel of religious buildings. One of quiet reverence and praise. Whilst the building was completed 20 years ago the cave like feel of the pools takes you back to primeval state. Feelings which are heightened by the ritual of entry and changing from enclosure to the outdoor pools, to nature, mountains and village.
The combined sense of life, community and experience to me make this the most extraordinary building and project – themes that are important in my work and that of MEB Design. Now all is left is to plan my next trip!

Q: Logger in a .jar java library How to disable logger (print output) of a java library (jar) used in a java program?
Thanks
UPDATE: the library in question uses the built-in logger class in java (java.util.logging.Logger).

A: set the log level for that package to FATAL.  This will not actually turn off all the log messages from the jar, but should minimize. Also note that if you have multiple package structures in there, you have to add individual lines
log4j.logger.com.foo=FATAL

A: See the answer from how can i disable the default console handler, while using the java logging api ?
Alternatively, set the logging level to OFF as presented in the Javadocs for log level. Quote:

In addition there is a level OFF that can be used to turn off logging, and a level ALL that can be used to enable logging of all messages.

A: If you are using log4j, the easiest way is to increase the logging level of that particular library to say, warn or error.
For example, if you don't want all the Apache APIs, Spring APIs and Hibernate APIs to clutter your log files, you can do something like this:-
<logger name="org.apache">
    <level value="warn" />
</logger>

<logger name="org.springframework">
    <level value="warn" />
</logger>

<logger name="org.hibernate">
    <level value="warn" />
</logger>

This way, all the debug and info from these libraries will not be shown at all.

A: Other than increasing the logging level you could tell the library to use a NOP logger - see here. The NOP logger will just default to doing absolutely nothing which would be exactly what you want.
Ok after your edit: If you can tell the library which logger it should use (and if you can't access the logging object I don't think any method will work anyway), just make your own NopLogger, i.e. extend Logger and overwrite all Methods with an empty method,

The ANZ Bank today announced a $1.5 billion share buy-back.
The bank says it has completed the sale of its 20% stake in Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank, originally announced in January, and now intends to buy back up to $1.5 billion of shares on-market.
A short time ago, its shares were up 1.3% to $28.59.
"ANZ's strong capital position combined with the progress made in simplifying our business means we are now in a position to commence returning surplus capital to shareholders while still complying with APRA's unquestionably strong capital requirements," says ANZ chief financial officer Michelle Jablko.
ANZ has already bought $500 million shares on-market to neutralise the effect of the dividend reinvestment program for both the interim and final 2017 dividends as well as the impact of ANZ's share-based employee compensation plans.
The bank is on a campaign of selling off non-core businesses. Last week it announced the $2.85 billion sale of its life insurance business to the local arm of global financial services company Zurich.
The latest sale was another step in ANZ's strategy to create a bank focused on retail and business banking in Australia and New Zealand, and Institutional Banking across the region.
Shayne Elliott, who in January 2016 replaced former CEO Mike Smith who was big on building an Asia business, has pulled the bank away from retail banking in the region to focus on institutional customers.
The latest share buy-back is expected to begin in January.


My favorite quote that I like to say to people around campus is to ""Stay Hungry"" I appreciate that students at VCU are so driven , hungry and motivated. I admire that the majority of us students are engaged in the VCU community and willing to take on any obstacle that is in the way of achieving a goal. Many students here have inspired me to continue to accomplish my goals in order to be successful at VCU and after I graduate. I also appreciate that there are many faculty members here who supports my vision and not afraid to give me advice on how to execute my vision! I have learned so much about myself at VCU and it is because of the opportunities here. VCU provides a lot opportunity for us and it is up to us as students to take the initiative to get these opportunities.My main goal in life is to make sure everyone around me succeeds. This is my favorite part of being involved in VCU Student Affairs as a Resident Assistant. I enjoy motivating my residents, organization members and peers while letting them know the value in their dreams! Once I help them and they continue to succeed on campus it is truly rewarding. Being involved in Student Affairs I see a lot of opportunities that can valuable for my friends and classmates. I make sure I notify them of every opportunity!
I have learned two valuable lessons from my involvement. First lesson is that if you just give people a little motivation it can take them so far into reaching their goal. As a junior, I have noticed how some people on campus are not used to friends pushing and motivating them. After motivating, you can see the positive change in their attitude towards their goal. The next lesson is, as a leader it is important to take care of yourself first in order to care for others. One quote that I love is " You can't pour from an empty cup!" Once people see an enhancement in your happiness, they can relate to you more and become inspired. Programs and opportunities such as VCU LEAD, I-LEAD, VCU Housing, and multiple opportunities in Snead Hall has been providing ways for me to succeed at this! The lessons I have learned here thus far has definitely made me stronger.
In the future I see myself making a huge impact on the world through motivation. While pursuing my goal of becoming Partner of an accounting firm, I want to start a program for high school students on the importance of financial literacy, and succeeding after high school. After excelling in the accounting field, I want to operate my own employment agency to assist in decreasing the unemployment rate. Giving back is so important to me because, I had support while growing up. I want people to have the same amount of support I had, if not more!

So you've discovered the perfect gig with a higher salary, and you're bent on shuffling your credentials to the hiring manager immediately, if not sooner. You've got the experience, education and skills that make you a star candidate.
One hurdle remains: how to do a resume appropriately.
Don't fret-you can soon be on your way to crafting a stellar resume; just use the following key resume tips from career experts Brian Drum and Heather Heath.
1. Be accurate and truthful. "A resume should not be embellished or exaggerated-it's not an exercise in writing a novel. If there's anything that is not correct or is misstated, it could be a reason for not hiring you," Drum said.
2. Take two pages for your resume if necessary. Drum said once you have four or five years of experience, it often becomes very difficult to squeeze your career path all onto one page. Heath said she sees two-page resumes "all the time." Most applicants should avoid three page resumes. Resume Tip for Recent College Graduates: Stick to one page.
3. Use bullets with concise descriptions. Most resumes that use paragraphs aren't looked at, Drum explained, so it's best to use bullets, and keep them to a maximum of two lines a piece.
4. In most cases, list experience before education. If you're a seasoned executive, it's best to list your work experience first. Resume Tip for Recent College Graduates: Put education up top.

Bloomington, MN based ReSound has announced the launch of its new ReSound Alera wireless hearing aid, which uses Bluetooth to receive audio from a user's electronic devices. The company's Unite accessories connect to sources such as computers, cellphones, or even TVs, and wirelessly transmit audio from these sources to the hearing aid.
Operating on the 2.4 GHz frequency, ReSound Alera™ and the accompanying Unite™ wireless accessories introduce a new approach to the way a hearing aid receives sound from devices such as TVs, stereos, cell phones and computers. For the first time, the patient can receive sound directly from the device without cables, wires or the need to wear uncomfortable accessories.
Because Alera™ uses 2.4 GHz wireless technology, it can be easily fitted without the use of a bulky device to connect the hearing aid to the fitting software. All that is needed is the AirLink fitting accessory, which is inserted into the USB port of a computer. This technology, though new to hearing aids, has been proven in the gaming industry and in the use of wireless keyboards.

The 'Gaming Disorder' classification: Is it premature and could it hurt gamers?
By Sillicur at Tuesday, June 19, 2018 1:53:00 PM
Before I started work in the gaming industry, I received studied for and worked in psychology, criminology and forensic investigation. The move to gaming came with a lot of challenges to overcome, but as a gamer for over two decades now, it was well worth it in the end, getting to know the South African gaming community and all the wonderful people I either worked with or played games with.
In part, that is why the news that the World Health Organization has classified a new disorder, called the "Gaming Disorder" to be shocking and concerning. I will be discussing why this classification is a bit concerning, as it could be premature, too broad and even hurt gamers through stigmatization, but let's first take a look at the classification of the "Gaming Disorder".
What is the "Gaming Disorder"
In the World Health Organization's ICD-11, "Gaming Disorder" is now a new mental health condition and classifying this as a separate mental health condition (as opposed to, for example, addiction) will "serve a public health purpose for countries to be better prepared to identify this issue".
The "Gaming Disorder" is characterized by a pattern of persistent or recurrent gaming behaviour in either online or offline gaming. Such a diagnosis needs to meet the following three major criteria, namely:
Impaired control over gaming (e.g., onset, frequency, intensity, duration, termination, context);
Increasing priority given to gaming to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other life interests and daily activities;
Continuation or escalation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences. The behaviour pattern is of sufficient severity to result in significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning.
The ICD-11 further goes into detail, explaining that:
"The pattern of gaming behaviour may be continuous or episodic and recurrent. The gaming behaviour and other features are normally evident over a period of at least 12 months in order for a diagnosis to be assigned, although the required duration may be shortened if all diagnostic requirements are met and symptoms are severe."
It is also believed that only 2 to 3 percent of gamers suffer from "Gaming Disorder", while Dr Mark Griffiths of Nottingham Trent University (who has studied video games for 30 years), reportedly estimates that Gaming Disorder affects less than 1 percent of gamers, but that many others have mental health issues such as bipolar disorder, depression and even autism.
Thing's are escalating quickly, aren't they? That's why it is imperative to look at the negatives surrounding this classification and how it can unfairly and negatively impact gamers.
A broad and premature classification
Diagnosing someone with the "Gaming Disorder" could prove extremely difficult, especially for younger people, as the classification of Gaming Disorder seems quite broad. It might not look like the case at first until you think about the pitfalls of cases on an individual basis.
Adding the "Gaming Disorder" diagnosis into the ICD-11 could be premature and stigmatize gamers, which could have a negative impact on their social functioning and overlook some important issues that have been well-documented and classified for decades.
Anthony Bean, the executive director of The Telos Project (a non-profit mental health clinic) and licensed psychologist, reportedly told CNN that:
"It's a little bit premature to label this as a diagnosis. I'm a clinician and a researcher, so I see people who play video games and believe themselves to be on the lines of addicted." Mr Bean continued by revealing that in his experience, some people use gaming "more as a coping mechanism for either anxiety or depression."
This is where things get a bit dangerous. As some gamers use gaming as a coping mechanism for a variety of well-classified mental health issues, with a loose example being getting lost in an open-world game to relax and combat anxiety and societal pressures. What if this option gets taken away from gamers by their parents or loved ones in an attempt to save them, but instead, push them further into depression and their real condition remains untreated.
A prime example of how gaming helped someone cope with a great loss is that of Danil "Dendi" Ishutin. He is one of the most famous Dota 2 players of all time and won the first The International with his team Na'Vi. His father died at a young age and he retreated even further into his gaming, focusing on one thing: To become the best. This helped him cope with his great loss and while others might have been sent into a depression, gaming helped Dendi persevere.
Watch the video explaining the story of Dendi by theScore esports below:
It is just so dangerous to classify someone as suffering from the "Gaming Disorder" and then "helping" them by taking gaming away. There is a chance that people will overlook the core of the issues the person is facing. One of the points is also concerning when thinking about talented young esports stars: "Increasing priority given to gaming to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other life interests and daily activities."
Who is qualified to judge how much priority should be given to gaming instead of other life interests and what these other life interests should be? I wouldn't want to judge this factor and how would this work when someone makes a living out of gaming or is a talented player climbing the ranks that could one day win a tournament like The International with $20 million or more at stake?
Misdiagnosis and Stigmatization
Above, I asked who is qualified to judge on the criteria set out by the World Health Organization and now, I would like everyone who has been to a psychologist or any other mental health professional to think about one thing. How many mental health professionals have you heard of that truly understands gaming, esports and the intricate details of competitive video games?
I've seen so many people going through hell and back due to misdiagnoses of bipolar disorder, something which has been prevalent for many years and very well researched. The core issues were never attended to properly by mental health professionals and that is extremely concerning.
This will all come down to the subjective experiences of each mental health professional and their thoughts about gaming in general. Further, the mild, moderate and severe version of the "Gaming Disorder" has not been properly detailed and defined, leaving this up to the subjective experience of the mental health professional as well.
Even more concerning is that of the stigmatization of gaming. The classification can open up a Pandora's Box which could lead to many gamers being stigmatized as having mental health issues. Think about it, if you are really into a new game and play it for what others consider an inappropriate amount of time, you could very well start falling into a category which others believe to be a mental health disorder.
Doesn't this open the door for everything to be considered a mental health illness as well? Watch too much TV (I am binge-watching 12 Monkeys right now) or stay on Facebook for too long and that could also become an issue.
Yes, addiction does exist, but then it should be classified as such if all factors and years of work have been put into the process for each individual person. We are at a big juncture here for gamers everywhere and this could very well lead to an unfair, subjective diagnosis wrapped in the stigmatization of gamers everywhere.
Keep in mind that I am not saying some people don't have an issue related to gaming. Those people might very well exist. However, the whole point here is that "Gaming Disorder" being classified as a mental health disorder could very well open the floodgates from schools, parents, friends and everyone else.
This could very likely escalate quick, which is why I implore everyone to think critically, help those that really need it and most of all, not start stigmatizing gamers across the globe. It is imperative at this moment in time that we help each other, discuss the implications of this classification and not let things get out of control

This course is ideal if you wish to work in or are already employed in a garden centre – particularly if you plan to progress to a supervisory or management role. It will give you the full range of retail, business and management skills needed to run a successful garden centre (whether small and specialist or a 'superstore'). Topics include the nature of the stock – from plants to associated goods like pots, tools and fertilisers and 'lifestyle' goods like garden furniture – and how to maintain it (few people will want to buy below-standard, diseased or pest-ridden plants). You will also learn retail essentials such as layout, selling and service, checkout design and consumer law, as well as management skills covering areas like staffing and stock control.
Suitable for professionals or those seeking in-depth knowledge of this subject for general interest.
If you already work in a garden centre or elsewhere in the horticultural profession, this course could help you progress to a supervisory or management role in a garden centre or nursery.

With over 100 years' experience in passenger transport, ALSA has brought the Philip II Train back to life. This sightseeing train links Madrid and El Escorial by rail, where passengers can enjoy the impressive cultural heritage of its destination whilst conjuring up rides during the 40s on this vintage train. Therefore, the Philip II Train adds to the fantastic sightseeing and cultural offer available in the Community of Madrid.
This amazing project is a significant milestone in ALSA's history and in the Spanish railway history as it has become the first passenger train to be operated by a private company this century.
The alliance between ALSA, as the operator, the Spanish Railway Foundation, the Community of Madrid, National Heritage and the Town Councils of San Lorenzo de El Escorial and El Escorial, makes up an excellent combination that will provide the Philip II Train passengers an exciting trip back in time.
In 1962, the Spanish Rail Network put out a tender offering the leading locomotive manufacturers the chance to purchase sixty mixed-traffic diesel locomotives that could haul passenger trains and freight trains. After the usual ups and downs experienced in this kind of administrative procedures, on 10th July 1964, the American company ALCO Products Inc was hired to provide sixty DL-500S locomotives with the FPD-9 standard –as is usual in the American railway.
This is a diesel-electric locomotive with a 2180 horsepower engine that could run at 120Km/h and based on the "World Locomotive" designs made by ALCO (that stands for American Locomotive Company), many of which had been exported to Europe, South America, India and Australia, with great operational success. In Spain, we already had these locomotives (series 1600 and 1800).
A diesel-electric locomotive works as a diesel generator that supplies electric power to the electric engines placed on the axis. Its extraordinary simplicity and reliability, as well as its lower production costs compared to other mechanical solutions, turn the electric drive into the standard choice for railway networks worldwide. It is worth mentioning that ALCO designed the first locomotive with this system back in 1925.
The winning design in the tender consisted of a special adjustment to the Spanish railway needs, producing a locomotive with two identical cabs (which no American railway has), and this provided a leading edge in the Spanish operational needs. The design was later employed for multiple locomotives all over the world, especially in Australia.
They fulfilled their purpose by running in Castille Leon, Castille La Mancha, Madrid, Extremadura, Galicia and Asturias, hauling all kinds of trains, from the most prestigious express trains, to work trains.
Finally, the excellent performance of these locomotives meant that the order was further increased to eighty units.
The long history of the Carriages Series 5000 began at the very end of the Civil War, when the private railway companies making up the Spanish Rail Network, found that their fleet of passenger carriages had shrunk significantly and was badly damaged.
This fleet was made up of an extremely diverse amount of vehicles that were very old and grouped into families of barely 10 vehicles each. For instance, one of the main private rail companies (the rail company of Madrid to Zaragoza and Alicante, MZA) didn't have any metal carriages. In fact, adding up all the companies' fleets, there were no more than one hundred metal carriages in total.
Therefore, not only did they urgently need modern metal passenger carriages, they also needed a large amount of them to cover passenger services in those times. To understand the origin of this type of carriages, it's essential to know about the industrial, economic and political scenario right after the Civil War and in the midst of the Second World War, where Spain supported the Axis powers.
The war was particularly harsh on the industrial premises, especially those devoted to building capital goods, such as rolling stock. But even before the war, the trains were far behind in technical and technological aspects.
It was Germany, where they had made great progress in building carriages with metal structures, who firmly intervened in designing and creating the carriages series 5000, which were technologically innovative thanks to their fully welded and self-supporting structure.
The design took into account the shortages in the Spanish industry, so the design of the structures was adapted to use the traditional rolled profiles with only a minimum amount of inlaid metal elements that would otherwise require special equipment that wasn't available in the Spanish industry.
Despite these adjustments, the urgency of the situation meant that the national rail industry was unable to cover all the needs and they had to resort to the French industry. As the French were also immersed in the post-war period, they agreed to build 100 carriages in their factories and manufacture the parts for another 100 carriages that would then be assembled in Spain; what we would now call a "self-assembly kit".
This is how the carriages series 6000 came to life. The main difference was using the original German design, as the French industry had sufficient technology and resources to deliver, so, structurally, they used huge inlaid metal sheets. On the outside, it's practically impossible to tell them apart from the carriages series 5000, save for tiny details on the inside (the 6000 were the first carriages with fluorescent lighting) and on the outside.
This large family consisted of 546 carriages in total, making up the first large family of carriages in the Spanish rail network.
At the end of 2016, the Spanish Railway Foundation and ALSA signed a series of agreements to set in motion and operate the Philip II Train.
With this, the Spanish Railway Foundation provided ALSA with different trains to restore keeping to strict historic standards. Specifically, they delivered four passenger carriages series 5000 and 6000, all of them built in the 40s, to make up the historic train. Perseverance and craftsmanship, in this case by the railway association Asociación Venteña de Amigos del Ferrocarril, has enabled the preservation of this valuable rail heritage for the past 20 years. On the other hand, the train will be hauled by a diesel locomotive series 321 that dates back to the 60s.

Luís de Freitas Branco voltooide zijn Symfonie nr. 4 op 30 november 1952 in Monte dos Perdigões in Granadeiro.

Geschiedenis
Hij had twaalf jaar aan dit werk gewerkt. Het komt erop neer dat hij aan symfonie nummer vier begon vlak nadat hij nummer drie voltooide op 24 november 1944. Ook die symfonie kwam als stroop uit zijn pen; hij was er in 1930 aan begonnen. Branco moest lang wachten voordat zijn symfonie te horen was in de concertzaal. Symfonie nummer drie kreeg haar eerste uitvoering in 1947. Nummer 4 was pas te horen toen de componist al overleden was. Op 24 mei 1956 werd het werk uitgevoerd op het festival Circulo di Cultura Musical. Plaats van handeling was het Teatro Nacional de São Carlos in Lissabon; Pedro de Freitas Branco dirigeerde het "Orquestra Sinfonia del Teatro Nacional de São Carlos". De symfonie wordt nog steeds regelmatig uitgevoerd, maar is daarbij wel gebonden aan Portugal.

Muziek
Branco componeerde in zijn laatste jaren steeds traditioneler. Zijn vierde symfonie klinkt voor wat betreft muziekstijl behoudender dan bijvoorbeeld zijn symfonisch gedicht Vathek. Hoewel hij een van de bekendste (of beter gezegd een van degenen die niet onbekend is gebleven) Portugese componisten is, heeft zijn vierde symfonie (en ook Vathek) niets van doen met de Portugese muzikale traditie. Dat komt mede doordat Branco zwaar onder invloed was van bijvoorbeeld de muziek van Claude Debussy, maar ook opleiding kreeg in Berlijn. De symfonische traditie kan niet komen van Debussy, want die schreef er geen. De vierde symfonie is geschreven in de Duitse traditie, vier delen. Een andere traditie, die Branco had opgepakt was die van de Gregoriaanse muziek en die liet wel zijn sporen na in deze symfonie.

Delen
De vier delen luiden:
 Andante
 Adagio
 Allegro vivace
 Allegro
De Gregoriaanse gezangen zijn direct terug te vinden in het begin van deze overigens instrumentale symfonie. Als een soort Kyrie beginnen houtblazers ondersteund door strijkers. Weer terugkomend op de klassieke opbouw; deel 1 is geschreven in de ABA-vorm. Deel 2 geeft een polymetrische indruk met 2/4 tegenover 2/4-maatsoorten. Deel 3 kan gezien worden als het (traditionele) scherzo met af en toe pittige muziek, maar toch weer in de ABA-vorm. Deel 4 is de finale begint in de vijfkwartsmaat, die ook al te horen was in deel 3. De muziek marcheert rustig, totdat de recapitulatie van de symfonie naar voren wordt geschoven.  De muziek klinkt het gehele werk als (zeer) laat-romantisch/neoclassicitisch. Invloeden van Igor Stravinsky en Paul Hindemith zijn waarneembaar.

Orkestratie
4 dwarsfluiten, 2 hobo's, 1 althobo, 2 klarinetten, 1 basklarinet, 3 fagotten,
4 hoorns, 3 trompetten, 3 trombones, 1 tuba, 1 contrabastuba
pauken,  2 man/vrouw percussie
violen, altviolen, celli, contrabassen
