Q: How to add superscript to the legend name (graph name) in c3.js graph library I am using c3.js graph library to plot the graph. I have a requirement to add superscript to the graph name / to the legend of the graphs.
I tried to add the HTML tags
Testabc

This is taking as string instead of tags. The tags are not getting rendered.
In the below code I need to change data1 as Data1⁴
Instead of "4" i may need to input different characters
var chart = c3.generate({
    data: {
        columns: [
            ['data1', 100],
            ['data2', 300],
            ['data3', 200]
        ],
        type: 'pie'
    },
    legend: {
        show: false
    }
});```

In the above code I need to change data1 as Data1⁴

Instead of "4" i may need to input different characters

There should be a simple fix for this , but I am  not able to find the solution. Since I will be getting dynamic characters I cannot copy the utf8 superscript characters.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.

A: There is a way to create your own legends. That is super quick and completely customizable.
Basically, add the legends for the first render with the required data.
Please check this Fiddle for working example.
onrendered: function() {
  let chartData = this;
  if(!d3.select('.chart-legend').node()) {
    const legend = d3.select('#chart').insert('div', '.chart').attr('class', 'chart-legend');

    legend.selectAll('span')
    .data(['revenue', 'revenue1'])
    .enter().append('span')
    .attr('data-id', function (id) { return id; })
    .attr('class', 'legend-item')
    .html(function (id) { return ""+id+"45"; })
    .each(function (id) {
      d3.select(this).style('background-color', chartData.api.color(id));
    })
    .on('mouseover', function (id) {
      chartData.api.focus(id);
    })
    .on('mouseout', function (id) {
      chartData.api.revert();
    })
    .on('click', function (id) {
      d3.select(this).classed("c3-legend-item-hidden", function() { return !this.classList.contains("c3-legend-item-hidden"); });
      chartData.api.toggle(id);
    });
  }
}

// CSS
.legend-item {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 20%;
  position: relative;
  text-align: center;
  cursor: pointer;
  color: white;
  height: 7px;
  margin: 0 5px;
}

.legend-label {
  color: black;
  position: absolute;
  top: 7px;
  left: 20%;

"The Abuser" faces long prison sentence
César Emilio Peralta (El Abusador) is already in the hands of the United States authorities, sent from Colombia.
Charges. Since June 2019, he has been on the run due to a history of drug trafficking in the country and the United States.
Santo Domingo, DR
The United States authorities confirmed yesterday the extradition of César Emilio Peralta ("César The Abuser"), from Colombia to Puerto Rico, to face drug trafficking charges presented in the Judicial District of Puerto Rico.
"This arrest and extradition underscores the collaboration and cooperation among our law enforcement partners, as well as our commitment and resolve to combat transnational organized crime," said U.S. Attorney W. Stephen Muldrow.
In a press release, the Attorney General of Puerto Rico added that the U.S. authorities will continue to maximize their efforts to "bring to justice those who ignore our laws and smuggle drugs in Puerto Rico and the continental United States."
Accused of bringing cocaine to Puerto Rico
At the end of November 2018, a Federal Grand Jury in the District of Puerto Rico charged Peralta with conspiracy to import heroin and cocaine into the United States and with the distribution of five kilograms or more of cocaine for illegal importation into that country, and faces a possible sentence of 10 years to life imprisonment, if the charges are confirmed.
Forfeiture of assets
The indictment includes an allegation of narcotics forfeiture concerning four properties and a business in the Dominican Republic controlled by Peralta: Salón Flow Gallery, Club La Koura, Aqua Club, Al Panino, and Peralta Investment, S.A.
The Attorney General designated Peralta as a Consolidated Priority Organizational Objective in 2017, among the leaders who exercise "command and control" of drug trafficking and money laundering with the most significant impact on the supply of illicit drugs to the United States, being one of the most sought after by the authorities.
Peralta, who was under investigation by the U.S. Treasury Department, was identified along with his organization by the U.S. Treasury as one of the significant foreign drug traffickers under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act).
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Max J. Pérez-Bouret, chief of the Transnational Organized Crime Section, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jawayria Z. Auchter.
Drug trafficking leader
Peralta was the leader of a transnational criminal organization based in the Dominican Republic and coordinated, according to the authorities' accusations, the shipment of several tons of cocaine from Colombia and Venezuela, which were later transported to Puerto Rico and the United States.
Peralta was extradited early this Wednesday to Puerto Rico from Colombia, where he had been in La Picota prison since the end of December 2019.
Upon his arrival, he will be informed of a hearing for the formulation of charges, and a press conference is planned at 2:00 in the afternoon, in which the U.S. authorities will give more details of the case against him.
The announcement of his extradition to Puerto Rico was on May 20, when his lawyer, Dr. Joaquín Pérez, indicated that the process could take longer than expected because it had to be approved by the Supreme Court of Colombia.
"El Abusador," designated as the head of an international drug trafficking network and "one of the most powerful men in drug trafficking in the Dominican Republic," is in prison on conspiracy charges to import drugs into the United States and money laundering.
Iván Duque handed it over
On October 14, the Colombian president, Iván Duque, signed the extradition.
In Puerto Rico, "El Abusador" will await the trial and will later be transferred to U.S. soil, where he has been required since April 2019 by the Judicial District of South Florida.
He fled the country
"El Abusador" fled the Dominican and American justice from August 20 to December 2, 2019, when he was trapped in room 1104 of the Murano Elite hotel, in the exclusive Boca Grande sector, in Cartagena de Indias.
Made wavesAs of June 9, 2019, Peralta made waves when former Major League Baseball player David Ortiz was shot at in the Ozama Ensanche, and he appeared on the scene.
Paul Tierney
Hope it will be a long time before he experiences the free light of day.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has rapped the police for stopping a press briefing by the Movement for Democratic Change Alliance which yesterday rejected Mnangagwa's victory.
"The scenes today at the Bronte Hotel have no place in our society and we are urgently investigating the matter to understand exactly what happened," he tweeted.
"Over the past nine months we have protected freedom of speech, of assembly and the right to criticise the government.
"This is an indispensable part of the new Zimbabwe. It is non-negotiable and will not change.
"We won the election freely and fairly, and have nothing to hide or fear. Anyone is free to address the media at any time," he said.
Heads are likely to roll within the police force as there were already moves to get rid of those said to have been loyal to former police chief Augustine Chihuri.
Mnangagwa, however, did not want to rock the boat too much before obtaining his own mandate.

One important thing to remember when your real estate agent is hosting an open house is to stay away during the event. Nothing deters interested buyers from asking important questions or taking the time to explore the home thoroughly than a homeowner lurking in the vicinity. Your real estate agent can handle the open house, putting your best foot forward when he or she greets potential buyers and answers questions about your home.
One of the first things that interested buyers will notice upon entering your home is the smell. A bad aroma such as mold, mildew, or pet odors can create a lasting negative impression for the house as a whole. You can solve this problem by lighting scented candles, investing in odor eliminating spray or antibacterial spray, or purchasing air fresheners that plug into your home's wall outlets. A real estate agent trick that is commonly used to create a pleasant home aroma is to place a few drops of vanilla extract and cinnamon in a baking dish in your oven. As the vanilla and cinnamon become warm, a delicious and inviting smell will drift through your home.
The right lighting can make a huge difference in the overall appearance of your home's interior. If the open house is during daylight hours, be sure that blinds and window coverings are drawn back and raised to allow natural light to filter into your house. If the open house is at night, turn on the lights in your home to illuminate the space. Pay special attention to dark corners within your house. A lamp in a gloomy area can enliven the space and make it feel inviting.
It's also crucial to collect visitor information from those who stop by your open house. Your real estate agent should record contact information for interested home buyers, and will be able to make follow-up calls or send follow-up emails. Often, this secondary contact can help convince a buyer to take a second look at your home. Even if they are not interested in purchasing your house, visitors can provide your agent with important feedback that can help you to better market your home going forward.
The open house is a crucial part of the sale process, so it's important to invest some time and energy into making the walk-through event as seamless and beneficial as possible. Together with your real estate agent aim to create an environment that will make your buyer feel comfortable.


"Restrictive Covenants" is a fancy term meaning "promises that restrict or limit activities". Restrictive covenants typically include non-solicitation clauses and non-competition clauses. Here, we will focus on non-competition clauses.
You might say "I know what non-competition clauses are! They keep me from competing with a business." While that may be their general intent, the way that such clauses are often drafted makes their application much wider.
It is commonly believed that to "compete" means only to run or operate a business that sells the same wares or provides the same services as the original business. The fact is, many non-competition clauses are drafted such that to "compete" also means to own, to lend money to, to give advice to, to work for, to be a guarantor for, to lend your name to, or to have any interest in, a competing business. In addition, most non-competition clauses capture such activities whether you do them personally, through a corporation, a partnership, or through any other entity or capacity. For example, if you are subject to a non-competition clause and your spouse (with your covert assistance) incorporates and operates a competitive business, then you might be in violation of your non-competition obligations. In Ontario, Pet Valu Canada Inc. successfully sued a former franchisee for exactly such a scenario.
In order to not compete, you need to understand what constitutes a "competitive" business. Competition clauses are often drafted broadly. As such, other than in the most obvious scenarios, it is often difficult to discern what is in fact a "competitive" business. Some non-competition clauses may describe the prohibited businesses as "businesses that are competitive"; which is not helpful at all. Sometimes, you may see references to businesses "that are the same as or similar to" the subject business. While such verbiage provides a bit more direction, it raises the question as to how "similar" would a business have to be to qualify as a "competitive business". A well-drafted non-competition provision will be specific as to what constitutes a competitive business.
Another aspect of a non-competition clause is the temporal element. As the term suggests, the temporal element relates to how long the non-competition prohibition will apply. Typically the temporal element involves two distinct durations; the period during which the contract in question is in effect, and a period after the termination or expiration of the contract. Related to the temporal element is the geographic element, which is the geographic area within which the non-competition prohibition would apply. Most disputes relating to the temporal element relate to the duration after the termination or expiration of the contract; in particular the reasonableness of such duration. Likewise, the reasonableness of the geographic restriction is the focus of most disputes relating to non-competition clauses.
Restrictive covenants are generally considered a restraint of trade. They are deemed to be unenforceable unless they are necessary and reasonable to protect the interests of the party they are designed to protect. Therefore, to analyze a non-competition clause, the starting point is whether such a prohibition is necessary. Are there other less onerous ways (such as confidentiality or non-solicitation obligations) to achieve the protection sought? If such prohibition is necessary, then consider whether the restrictions being imposed are reasonable.
Unfortunately, what is "reasonable" cannot always be objectively determined. It will depend on a number of factors from the contracting relationship to the interests that the non-competition provisions are designed to protect. Reasonableness must necessarily be assessed on a case-by-case basis. This is yet another reason why it is prudent to obtain legal advice from a qualified lawyer before entering into any contract.

1960 Austin-Healey 3000 MkI Roadster Chassis no. HBT7 11545
The Goodwood Festival of Speed
ca. US$32,897 - US$36,552
A development of the preceding 100/6 rather than a genuinely new model, the Austin-Healey 3000 was launched in March 1959. The two cars looked virtually identical and under the skin was the same separate ladder-type chassis and independent front/live rear axle suspension. Improvements to the 3000 included a slightly enlarged (to 2,912cc) version of the C-Series six-cylinder engine and Girling disc brakes up front, a development greeted with enthusiasm by devotees of this muscular British sportscar. Breathing through twin SU carburettors the revised power unit produced 124bhp at 4,600rpm; top speed - with the optional hardtop fitted - increased to 115mph, with 60mph reachable in a little over 11 seconds. Like the 100/6, the 3000 was available in two-seater (BN7) and 2+2 (BT7) guises. Introduced in 1961, the MkII was the last available as a two-seater - the 2+2 option had for years been the more popular - and in Convertible form brought improved practicality courtesy of a fixed foldaway hood and winding windows. The 3000 MkIII with more-powerful (148bhp) engine appeared early in 1964, to be followed later in the year by the Phase II version with revised rear suspension. Top speed was now 121mph and the 0-60 time dipped below 10 seconds. Despite the antiquity of the basic design, the big Healey remained as popular as ever, though increasingly stringent safety and emissions legislation meant that its days were numbered, production ceasing in December 1967. Arguably the fastest rally car of its day, the rugged and powerful 3000 achieved numerous class and international wins throughout the 1960s and remains a potent force in historic rallying today. A BT7 2+2 model, this Austin-Healey 3000 MkI was cosmetically restored 10 years ago in the style of a contemporary rally car, the mechanicals being deemed sound and not in need of attention. Presented in generally good condition, the vehicle represents an opportunity to upgrade to full historic rally specification if required.

Whoopi Goldberg Lands First Cover of "Black Cannabis Magazine," Reveals She Is Launching Another Pot Company
"As a long-time cannabis advocate and entrepreneur, I'm happy to support the launch of a new publication focused on starting conversations and covering issues that educate, entertain, and inspire people of color in the cannabis community."

Auntie Whoopi Goldberg is taking another pull at the pot game.
For those who don't know, before the white celebs like Jim Belushi and Seth Rogen "made it cool" to sell legalized pot, The View host and slayer of Meghan McCain, Whoopi Goldberg, has been long-time cannabis and entrepreneur when it comes to the magical plant. So it made perfect sense that Black Cannabis, a new magazine that focuses primarily on the people who honestly revolutionized the pot game at the expense of being unfairly jailed for it, tapped Goldberg to cover the first issue.
Speaking about the cover, Goldberg added:
"It's an honor to grace the very first cover of Black Cannabis Magazine… As a long-time cannabis advocate and entrepreneur, I'm happy to support the launch of a new publication focused on starting conversations and covering issues that educate, entertain, and inspire people of color in the cannabis community."
A source close to Page Six revealed that in the inaugural issue, Goldberg would "reveal Emma & Clyde, her new cannabis product line… launching soon in California. Emma & Clyde is named after Whoopi's mother and brother and includes edibles, pre-rolls, flower, and accessories."
This will be her second attempt to sell legal marijuana after shuttering her first company Whoopi & Maya after four years after she and her former partner Maya Elisabeth parted ways. At the time, Goldberg told the celebrity gossip section, "It is with deep regret and sadness I am announcing that I have withdrawn as a board member, manager, and member of Whoopi & Maya. I am very proud of what we have accomplished together and look forward to moving ahead with other projects in the market."
Goldberg isn't the only Black celeb who is involved in the weed game either. Just recently, Jaleel White, aka Steve Urkel, announced he is dropping his own "Purple Urkle" line of cannabis products. JAY-Z has also hit the ground running with his Monogram brand.
You can pick up a copy of Black Cannabis magazine when it officially launches on 4/20, the national weed holiday celebrated across the globe.

As you know, Peter is on sabbatical at the moment and I have been volunteered to cover his "spot" in the magazine for this month. So I have rather unimaginatively renamed this column "The Green Word".
The verse also reminds us that we are Disciples as well as Christians. It is all too easy to get too focussed on what we do at church – the jobs we do, the position we hold or the various activities we are involved in. Whilst all these things have their place, our main focus should be on meeting and following Jesus and encouraging others to do the same.

A Black Viceroys enforcer
❝ Backup? [laughs] I'm my own backup.❞
―Enforcers during combat
Enforcers are a type of enemy that appear in Watch Dogs and Watch Dogs 2.
An OPD Enforcer fighting against a gang Enforcer
Enforcers are enemies that have heavy armor on them, which makes them more resistant to bullets than Elites, Veterans, and Gunmen. They have what appears to be military-grade armor on them, which covers the whole body, gloves, boots, a helmet, and a face mask. On the Profiler, they are indicated by a red shield icon. They can be easily identified by their "muffled" voices, possibly because of the masks they are wearing.
Enforcers can be either of the Chicago South Club, Black Viceroys (Orange), Pawnee Militia (Camo), SWAT (Blue), or Fixers (blue and gray). The colors on their armor can identify their faction.
In Watch Dogs 2, the Enforcers are almost the same as in the first game, although only Police, FBI, and Umeni Enforcers will wear military-grade equipment. Gang enforcers are now shirtless and obese, only utilizing bullet proof vests for protection. Despite this, they possess as much armor as if they were wearing military grade equipment. Corrupt cop enforcers are also obese, but they hide their armor underneath white button-down shirts.
Enforcers are less likely to appear than other enemies, but they may make things harder when they appear. Enforcers, unlike all other enemies variations, do not take cover; however, they compensate this by their heavy armor which allows them to withstand large amounts of ballistic damage. Enforcers mostly make use of the U100 light machine gun (they are the only known users of this weapon), and ATSG-12 or SG-90 shotguns. These weapons can prove to be particularly lethal and one may easily get killed by an enforcer should they use no cover. As a consequence of their heavy armor, enforcers are unable to run and are much less mobile than enemies using standard armor.
Unlike other enemies, enforcers cannot be taken down - doing so requires the player to unlock the Enforcer Combat Take Down skill first. Taking down an enforcer is a lengthy process and may leave the player vulnerable, thus making it advisable to ensure no one is around when taking down an enforcer. Lethal takedowns (with weapons) cannot be performed on enforcers, making takedowns unadvisable in combat.
Although they can absorb massive ballistic damage, they are particularly weak to explosives. Two IEDs, two grenade launcher rounds or four Frag Grenades will be sufficient to take them down. Various CTOS devices such as transformers will one-hit kill them if hacked to explode, whereas steam valves will immobilize them for a short period of time. As with most enemies, enforcers may be targeted with the Disrupt Enemy Comms skill which will stun them as well. In case the player is restricted to using weapons, shotguns are the most efficient since they deal the most damage per shot at close range, although one may expose themselves to the enforcer's weaponry in close quarters. The M107 and its unique variant, the Destroyer, are also extremely effective against them since they will kill enforcers in two and one headshots, respectively, allowing one to kill them at long range, at a safe distance.
In Watch Dogs 2, Marcus can takedown enforcers using the Thunderball without requiring an ability first, as it is actually quite lethal in the real world. However, enforcers will still take more time to takedown.
The Police Enforcer in "Dressed in Peels"
An Enforcer appears for the first time in Dressed in Peels, in the underground after killing the first wave of corrupt prison guards. He must be neutralized in order to continue the mission. If Aiden does not have the Enforcer Combat Take Down skill unlocked, he must kill the enforcer, and his weapons are limited to nothing more powerful than an M1014. Luckily, there are numerous steam valves in the room that can be used to stop him for a short time and an electrical box on the far left which will kill him instantly.
In the following acts, Enforcers appear more frequently, although they are likely easier to kill because Aiden will have unlocked the ability to craft IEDs and may have already purchased the M107 or unlocked the Destroyer. When an Enforcer appears, there are often panels or steam valves that can help the player to kill them. If the player has a police heat level of 5 (3 later in the game), SWAT teams will be dispatched after the player. In each SWAT SUV, there is one Enforcer who is assisted by three SWAT Elites.
Enforcers have been beefed up in Watch Dogs 2 and their armor has also been redesigned. Enforcers can now survive multiple explosive attacks and they can also run for a limited amount of time. Unlike the first game, Enforcers don't wear a face mask anymore and their voices are similar to regular enemies, with a few additional lines.
Enforcers usually take more hits to be killed and they sometimes fire for no reason if the player takes cover. Marcus can also take an Enforcer out with his Thunder Ball, though this exposes him to more gunfire. The taser is also an effective weapon against enforcers, working just the same as other enemy types, though it may take at least 2-3 hits until they become unconscious. They can be instantly knocked out if the player has the Stun Amp Up upgrade.
Only Police, Umeni, and FBI enforcers wear military-grade body armor. Gang enforcers however do not wear any military grade body armor except a vest. Gang enforcers lack helmets, but can still survive multiple headshots.
Enforcers still use much of the same weaponry from the first Watch Dogs, but now make use of the SGR-12 semiautomatic shotgun, as well as the AK-47 assault rifle.
Two enforcers of a gang can be assigned to a certain target if Marcus has the Gang War Ability unlocked. A police enforcer accompanied by a police elite will arrive to arrest a target if the player frames the target using APB: Wanted Criminal.

Enforcers boast about their body armor during combat. An example of this is when a SWAT enforcer says "This is top of the line body armor. You don't stand a chance!"
One can appear as a target in some Fixer Contracts. When their vehicle is destroyed, they will flee and run like a normal driver despite their heavy armor.
Two enforcers are present in all Pawnee Militia criminal convoys.
When fighting Iraq, he registers as an enforcer, despite not wearing all the same armor. He is very resistant against explosives, but can be killed in a few shotgun hits.
The fact that it is possible to take an Enforcer down without the matching skill is possibly a glitch. It can be noted that it can be performed only if the Enforcer hasn't spotted Aiden, and in some cases it might not work.
Hitting an Enforcer with a vehicle can often one-hit kill them, but the player must be quick in running them down as their weapons can quickly kill the player before they have a chance to run them down.
Strangely, enforcers of every faction have the same voice if Aiden is taking them down with his baton.
The enforcer seen in Dressed in Peels is the only regular police enforcer in the game, all others are SWAT, Chicago South Club, Pawnee Militia, Black Viceroys or generic fixers. He uses the Fixer's enforcer dialogue.
The enforcer encountered at the end of By Any Means Necessary is arguably the strongest enforcer, if not the strongest enemy, in the game. He is able to withstand roughly twice the explosive and weapon damage of a normal enforcer. It also sports noticeably thicker armor, unique markings, and a unique helmet/visor.
The Enforcers are heavily based off of the Heavy Gunners which are enemies appearing in both Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4. Two other games developed by Ubisoft.
The Enforcer Take Down Ability is already unlocked for T-Bone in Watch Dogs: Bad Blood, mainly because his Wrench hits harder than Aiden's baton.

SHAKER HEIGHTS –People sometimes pooh-pooh the power of social media because of the relatively small number of followers we have. However, did you know that you can turn a thousand Facebook "Likes" into a reach of a million over a year's time? That kind of reach can then deliver millions of impressions in a year, too.
Every good programmer has a solid knowledge of what tactics work to deliver better Arbitron numbers over time. If you're a PD, that's just part of your job. Well, Facebook has a similar set-up that you can take advantage of to create more engagement, which then drives your social media stats up … and creates more brand usage for you. If you're doing it right, that is.
Facebook wants what you want. More people using them … more often … and spending more time with each visit. They have a formula, called EdgeRank, that works to show you what they think will matter most to you. It's like a programmer picking songs; they want the good stuff to show up most often, and they don't want to show you the stuff you don't care about.
• Affinity. This is a measure of how strong the Facebook relationship is between you and a friend or a brand page.
• Weight. The more people perform certain actions with your content, the more likely it is that more people will then see it. Commenting, sharing, and liking all come into play here. Generally, actions that take more time are weighted more heavily. Liking is good. Sharing is better. Commenting trumps them both.
• Time Decay. The fresher your content, the more likely it is to get seen.
"I knew you'd like this, and that no one else would show it to you." That's what everyone who posts on your station's Facebook page should be thinking when they add content to it. That attitude delivers higher quality content, and also makes sure you're sticking to your fans' expectations of you.
Take note of these few very do-able actions that will consistently help your EdgeRank, and get you seen by more people.
Put up a photo with as many posts as possible. To see some media brands that are doing this successfully, search on Facebook for iTunes, Chevy Music Showcase, or Nickelodeon. Almost every one of their posts has a photo, no matter what they're talking about. For example, all the Chevy Music Showcase pages have a lot of exclusive video content. Even so, they never just post a link to a video. They'll take a photographic still from each video, and then post a link to the video within the text.
Next, create and organize your photo albums in ways that make sense to your fans. You can link to those albums not only from Facebook, but from your station website, your Twitter feed, or even mention them on the air when it makes sense to do so. Up go your stats! This maximizes the strength of your already-powerful photos.
Generally speaking, keep your posts short. However, when you have something good or interesting to talk about, do an occasional much longer one. When someone clicks the "continue reading" link on a long post, it seems to count favorably towards your EdgeRank. Just make sure longer posts are about something that's related to what you do on the air, and are compelling to your fans.
If you have a few extra bucks to spend … stop laughing, please, I'm not done … consider paying Facebook to promote one of your posts from time to time. Facebook can show your strongest content to folks who are in your target, but not following you. Yet. Focused nominal spending over time can help drive your reach and impressions consistently higher. I'm bullish on promoted posts, but not other Facebook advertising. Yet.

Review Text Fronted by brothers Peter O'Doherty and Reg Mombassa, Dog Trumpet have been playing, writing and recording their music since the early 90s. Reg and Pete were founding members of iconic Australian band Mental As Anything, who hit the charts around the world with "Live It Up". The band made a mark with their left field mix of music, art, video and humour and leading eventually to ARIA awards and induction into the Hall of Fame in 2009. Recorded and produced by Peter at home in his 'South Road' studio, the brothers have created an inventive and original body of work distinguished by an eccentric and offbeat harmonic warmth and melodic drive propelled by Reg's distinctive slide guitar and Peter's elegant acoustic guitar and mandolin. Their poetic, yet at times absurdist lyrics are set against a sonic backdrop that could loosely be described as a meld of rock and roll, psychedelic folk, country and semi-abstract blues. Released in 2007, "Antisocial Tendencies" was their fourth album, and features "Antisocial Tendencies", "Shadows", "Two Blue Birds" and "Once Too Often".

Fajitas are awesome, but they can take a lot of work to watch while they're cooking, so we've simplified the process of cooking fajitas with our Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas recipe! This easy to follow recipe uses the "set it and forget it" technique of putting all of your fajita ingredients onto a sheet pan. Pop the sheet pan into the oven and in 25 minutes you'll have perfectly cooked fajitas without you having to mind lots of pans! We used chicken tenders when we made this recipe because they're already nicely trimmed for fajitas. All we did was cut them into uniform strips. However, if you prefer, you can take a whole chicken breast and cut it into strips as well. What's your trick for perfect fajitas? Let us know in the comments below!
Add the sliced vegetables and olive oil to a bowl. Season to your taste with fajita seasoning and toss to coat. Set aside.
Lay out chicken tender strips and season to taste with fajita seasoning. Make sure all sides are covered with seasoning.
Evenly spread the chicken tenders and vegetables on a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil. Place into an oven preheated to 400ºF and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, turn the broiler on high and cook for 5 more minutes, until the chicken reaches 165ºF.
Remove from oven and make fajitas from the sheet pan. Serve each fajitas with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and fresh chopped cilantro. Enjoy!

Owners of Hottle's Buying Up Other Property in Wilkes-Barre
Posted 6:04 pm, December 17, 2015, by Matt Petrillo
WILKES-BARRE -- The folks who renovated a long-time restaurant in Wilkes-Barre have their sights set on other properties in the city. Their reason for doing so, in their opinion, is that everyone will benefit.
Donahue's Hour Glass, the old Irish bar on South Main street in Wilkes-Barre had its last call a couple months ago. Now, new owners plan to bring back the booze.
The Burns family bought the building and expects to rename it Donahue's Irish Pub.
"My sister in the family had a vision to open it," said Rennee Burns, who, along with others in her family, is investing in several projects in the city.
James Everett's family used to own the bar. He worked there 50 years ago.
"It's nice to know that they're going to continue the tradition of our bar. It was a very popular bar back in the 60s and 70s and even the 80s," he said.
The family recently opened Hottle's Pizza and Pasta on North Main Street. They also plan to turn the old American Legion building on North River Street into a five-star restaurant. And earlier this year, they reopened Hottle's Seafood on South Main Street, which was open for 70 years before closing in 2010.
The family isn't just opening places to eat. They're also remodeling the Union Street Square building into apartments, expected to open sometime late next year.
Rich Adams runs Around Town Bikes, just across the street from those apartments. He hopes more people move downtown.
"We're always trying to sell more bikes, but we need people to come to the store," he said.
The Burns family includes a former member of city council. They hope others believe in Wilkes-Barre like they do.
"Community has to develop, people have to begin to trust each other," Renee said.

LuxLive and SILE Sharpen Focus on End-Users
On November 23rd and 24th, as in previous years, LuxLive was held in the Excel Center close to London's City Airport. This year, for the second time since the merger of Revo Media and Pennwell, LuxLive and Strategies in Light Europe were co-located. Arno Grabher-Meyer, Editor-in-Chief at LED professional, summarizes his impressions of the event, picking out the more technical oriented lectures held in the different "arenas".
The demonstration of ethical live hacking was an eye-opener
Most of the traditional luminaire and system providers for the UK market and many companies that want to break into the UK market were present with upmarket booths. A broad program, from free accessible presentations on different stages in the exhibition to lighting designer, installer and building manager focused, and application related presentations in LuxLive's "tech arenas", and two SILE tracks provided more strategic and technology overview topics.
While the end-user focus isn't as relevant for technicians, the secondary activities included some appealing lectures. The huge number of contributions made a strategic selection most important for visitors and attendees alike. However, to provide the most relevant information for the LED professional readership, my task was clear: Select the more technology focused sessions, lectures and activities to gather valuable, detailed information. And listen carefully to the keynote speeches held on Wednesday morning in the SILE conference area, to get an idea about the event and its aims.
The Keynote Sessions
The heartfelt greetings by Philip Smallwood, Director of LED & Lighting Research at Strategies Unlimited and Geert van der Meer, SVP & CEO Business Unit Digital Systems at Osram, geared the audience up for the event.
Mr. van der Meer explained how the World Wide Web has changed the world, allowing smart infrastructures. He also delivered some thought-provoking ideas when he showed that today's buildings use 50% less energy per square meter than they used in the 1970's but this progress is over-compensated by the fact that the building area per person has increased by approximately 400%! He believes that this situation calls for intelligent building management that could be accomplished by lighting infrastructure enabled IoT. He explained that currently the monthly costs of a building per square meter in big cities are: €3 for energy, €30 for rent, and €300 per person/user. Based on this 3-30-300 rule, he clearly sees services far beyond energy savings or pure space management as a business case for the lighting industry. Consequently, the biggest savings can be generated when managing the last cost factor most efficiently. One proposed solution is "biological lighting" which could easily increase human efficiency by 10%.
In the following speech, Dominic Noel-Johnson, Vice President at Green Investment Bank, emphasized that financing strategies and models clearly lag behind the development of LED technology. He stressed that replacement will most certainly happen but it could be faster with an appropriate financing strategy and services. He believes that one of the reasons for this situation is that the public hand does not have the money to invest. Another reason is that single lighting projects are much too small for third party financing from organizations like his bank. Investment companies are used to dealing with projects like offshore wind power plant financing.
The third speaker in the first part of the keynote session was Dr. Falk Meissner, the CSO at Lumileds. Dr. Meissner showed market figures for the component business. After a flat 2% phase from 2014 to 2016, he expects it to increase to 4%-5% in the coming years. He stated, however, that figures are far below earlier predictions. He also showed which application areas the growth will be fostered from. The biggest drivers are younger LED lighting applications like horticulture and animal farming while the established applications are seemingly reaching a saturation point. Concerning the business environment, he said that while the last few years have led to a consolidation in the semiconductor business, he does not see that in the near future for the LED and lighting business. On the contrary, he expects even more fragmentation.
After a short break, Diederik de Stoppelaar, Secretary General of LightingEurope, presented the position of the organization on different political decisions and trends that are relevant to the lighting industry. He emphasized the organization's main goal to make sure that an "equal major playing field" is provided for all participants in the European and world-wide lighting market. He sees a clear necessity to proceed towards intelligent lighting that provides true human centric light as defined in the SSL-erate program. HCL is lighting designed to increase vision, well-being and the performance of humans. He also reminded the industry of the importance of a circular economy and the need to come to a new understanding on that issue, even when the lighting sector is doing quite well.
Gordon Routledge, Chairman & Publisher at Revo Media, asked in his distinctive, subtle, but provoking manner just what went wrong with LEDs. He suggested killing the light switch and compared today's approach to building LED luminaires with playing with LEGO blocks. He emphasized the opportunities IoT brings with it and also warned of the possible threats. Gordon Routledge ended his speech with the words, "No good stuff for free. Stop the bad stuff!"
Philip Smallwood returned to the stage to close the keynote session. While his figures were slightly different, he basically outlined a similar picture of the business and market situation as Dr. Falk Meissner did, with horticulture lighting being the major growth segment. In addition, Mr. Smallwood suggested that lighting could become the backbone of smart cities.
The presence of companies like CoeLux, with their innovative lighting solutions, and other luminaire manufacturers support the end-user approach of the event
Lectures with Technical Content
While there weren't many lectures with a deeper technology focus, the ones I attended were particularly enlightening. Three speakers and lectures are especially worth mentioning due to the way they provided a good understanding of the current situation and status of three very different technologies.
Plessey Semiconductors' CTO, Dr. Keith Strickland, gave his insights on GaN-on-Si technology, the current status and where he sees the biggest advantages. He said that although GaN-on-Si LED technology development was developed much later than GaN-on- Sapphire, and therefore had some performance disadvantages at the beginning, this deficit has been compensated for and the technology offers a performance on par with today's standard for conventional LEDs. While GaN-on- Si LED production needs some extra process steps to avoid lattice defects due to strain, the costs can be held lower, especially because of the bigger wafer size. Plessey and most of their management and development team already have a long history in manufacturing Si-based semiconductors, namely mixed signal ICs before ramping up LED business. This knowledge and the Si-based technology allows the integration of additional components; currently mainly for ESD protection (Zener diodes) and photo diodes. The technology is also said to have advantages when it comes to the design of multi-junction high voltage LEDs and larger devices. Single chip LEDs of approximately four times the size of conventional LEDs are no issue. The further advantages that Dr. Strickland sees are the design of so-called micro LEDs and the integration of optics to produce chip scale packaged (CSP) optics.
Dr. James Norman Bardsley from Bardsley Consulting, who is also the leading technology analyst for DoE and ISA, talked about the future of OLEDs. At the beginning of his talk, he emphasized that the lighting industry should probably not try to escape from lighting into IoT based services because there are many, much stronger competitors. Instead, he felt they should deliver better, valuable technology that the client is willing to pay for. For the future of OLEDs, he sees light and shadow. In some applications OLEDs already have some distinctive technical advantages over LEDs. At the same time they still have huge drawbacks in many aspects, especially when it comes to efficiency and costs. The reason for the enormous performance drawback is primarily the very low extraction efficiency. While internal quantum efficiency is already at about 65%, extraction efficiency is at approximately 35%, leading to a wall-plug efficiency of maximum 18%. While, for example, big displays, up to 55 inch TVs, are presented and may reach an acceptable cost point soon, these costs will still be much too high for lighting applications. Therefore, he sees the near future more in OLED displays with the technology transforming later into lighting products. The general observation that OLED development lags behind the earlier forecasted roadmap demonstrates the complexity of the technology, especially when it comes to mass production and the cost-effective roll-to-roll and printing process. This helps to understand why, for example, Konica Minolta still has no mass production product after demonstrating very promising prototypes almost two years ago. For more information on this hot topic, we will be publishing the LED professional Tech-Talk Bregenz with Dr. Bardsley in LpR 60 (the March/April issue).
John Peek, Senior Advisor at Soraa Laser gave a detailed look at what visitors to the LpS 2016 already heard from Prof. Shuji Nakamura. One of the important aspects for laser lighting is Soraa's semi-polar laser technology. One big advantage of laser, especially GaN-on-GaN grown semi-polar lasers, is the high efficiency at high currents that is not negatively affected by droop. Another is the extremely small size of the light source that leads to an extraordinarily high luminance. Mr. Peek also showed which concepts of laser lights are possible and what the advantages and disadvantages are. From Soraa's point of view, there is one concept that incorporates the most advantages. It satisfies the safety requirements and allows for proper thermal design. While costs are still too high, it is expected that they will decrease to a reasonable price-point soon, due to the higher yield per wafer compared to LEDs of a similar luminosity.
The demonstration of ethical live hacking was an eye-opener. While IoT can offer enormous benefits for all users, industry has to do it right in order to avoid havoc
Tom Griffith, ams/TAOS' Senior Marketing Manager, demonstrated their latest achievements in sensor technologies, namely: Miniaturization and higher integration. This makes sensors cheaper and has positive effects on system costs. He also stressed that it is all about taking the first step of comparing lights with smartphones. The huge numbers of sensors that are required for them made the sensors cheaper, and there are many more luminaires sold per year than smartphones. When the first smartphones were introduced virtually, no apps (which offer the true value) were available, but the number of apps exploded in a short time. He predicts the same will happen for all IoT enabled applications. From a hardware perspective, highly integrated chip-level solutions are already available, and even higher integrated solutions are to come. Tom Griffith also explained that usability to not only pertains to lighting and reducing energy bills, but it goes far beyond that. The time for baby steps is over when entering this business today. A respectable amount of leaps of faith are now necessary. Apart from praising the well-known theoretical business options, Tom Griffith came with a clear picture of practical and technical solutions
Highlight of the "Arenas" on the Exhibition Floor
Technicians would find some of the lectures and demonstrations that were presented in the "arenas" throughout the exhibition area, interesting. Ken Munro, an ethical hacker at Pen Test Partners, gave an "outstanding performance" (for lack of a better word). The demonstration of different IoT enabled products was great fun to watch, and at the same time, Mr. Munro provided information about which links in the chain were poorly designed or programmed, leading to vulnerability. The following points are taken from his long list of advice. He pointed out that it is very important to design IoT devices to allow the company to make updates using push communication technology. One big issue is that apps request rights for unnecessary information and hardware, storing unsecured data. He also said that hardware design is critical. It is not sufficient just to leave out the debugging and analysis sockets because the empty pins still offer easy access to the software for reverse engineering. It was simply amazing how easy many devices can be hacked if you know what you are doing. But he also emphasized that any IoT product would be relatively safe if the clear design and programming guidelines of the used standards and protocols would be recognized.
Professor Russell Foster of the Oxford University held another noteworthy presentation in the "lightspace dot". It was very interesting to find out how he and his team found the so-called "third receptor" in the eye and his information about the effects of disturbances of the circadian rhythm is a must-know for everybody working in the lighting business. Especially revealing were his remarks about how intensity, illumination duration and color to trigger the circadian rhythm need to be properly considered. The findings about short-term effects, long-term effects and "psychiatric" effects are food for thought.
Prof. Foster identified many effects that are induced by failures in circadian synchronization
The event is increasingly following an end-user approach and absolutely fulfills this self-imposed goal. It is absolutely valuable for designers, installers and building managers. But what is it for technicians? Well, a strongly technology focused event will provide more technical input, but it is also not wrong for technicians to think outside the box and to understand what the markets and applications require. Therefore it is worth keeping LuxLive in mind and watching the program announcement carefully. There are certainly also some interesting contributions with a technical focus. LuxLive is certainly a meeting point for the lighting industry.

Kansas City QB talks about Moeaki, Stanzi
July 16, 2012 By Radio Iowa Contributor
The Kansas City Chiefs have become one of the preferred landing spots for Iowa Hawkeyes who make their way to the NFL ranks. This year, the Chiefs will have at least two, possibly four ex-Hawks on their roster. One is tight end Tony Moeaki, who missed all of last season with an injury.
Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel says he's looking forward to having Moeaki back because he is a great competition and has worked hard to come back. Cassel says that the Chiefs plan to utilize their tight ends a lot more in the coming season. He says the tight end is an important position across the league and Moeaki can block and catch the ball and that makes him an important part of the offense.
Former Iowa quarterback Ricky Stanzi will also be back with the Chiefs for his second NFL season. Cassel says he's already seen a lot of improvement from Stanzi this offseason. "I think it was a great offseason for him, he had a great spring," Cassel says. He says all the rookies were hurt last year by not having offseason workouts.
Parkersburg native and fellow Hawkeye Casey Wiegmann has been snapping the ball to Cassel the past two seasons, but has said that 2011 was his last year in the NFL. Cassel says he hopes Wiegmann has a change of heart.
Cassel is himself coming off of an injury. He was forced to miss the last seven games of the season after injuring his throwing hand.

John Porter McCown (August 19, 1815 – January 22, 1879) was a career officer in the United States Army, fighting in the Mexican–American War and in the Seminole Wars. He also served as a general in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War.

Early life and career
John Porter McCown was born near the town of Sevierville, located in Sevier County, Tennessee. In September 1835 he entered the United States Military Academy at West Point, and graduated in July 1840 standing tenth out of 42 cadets. McCown was commissioned a second lieutenant and assigned to the 4th U.S. Artillery. He was promoted to first lieutenant on September 30, 1843. McCown then participated in the U.S. Army's military occupation of Texas in 1845 and 1846.

McCown fought during the Mexican–American War and participated in the Battle of Cerro Gordo near Xalapa, Veracruz. He was brevetted to captain on April 18, 1847, for his conduct in that battle. He served as the 4th Artillery's Regimental Quartermaster from March 29, 1847 to January 12, 1849.

After the war McCown served along the Rio Grande on frontier duty, and he was promoted to captain on January 9, 1851. During this time, McCown collected birds in the area, most of which he sent to ornithologist George Lawrence. Three of these species were found to be new to science and one, the McCown's longspur, was named in his honor; it has since been renamed the thick-billed longspur due to McCown's connection to the Confederacy. McCown also wrote a paper on the greater roadrunner in 1853.

In 1856 and 1857 McCown fought during the Seminole Wars in Florida, and in 1858 he was part of the Utah War. He then was on garrison duty in the Nebraska Territory as well as in the Dakota Territory from 1858 into 1861.

Civil War service

McCown chose to follow the Confederate cause and resigned his U.S. Army commission on May 17, 1861. He was appointed a captain in the artillery of the Confederate Army on March 16, and then promoted to lieutenant colonel on May 9. Also in 1861 he was in charge of a Confederate infantry brigade under the command of Gideon J. Pillow.

He was sent to the Western Theater and appointed a colonel in the Tennessee artillery on May 17. He was promoted to brigadier general on October 12, and he marched his brigade to Columbus, Kentucky, and on to the Battle of Belmont on November 7.

Starting on March 3, garrison commander Brig. Gen. McCown, defended New Madrid  and Island No. 10 from a siege by the Union's Army of the Mississippi under command of Brig. Gen John Pope.  McCown was promoted to Major General on March 10, 1862, and ordered the evacuation of positions at New Madrid to Island No 10. on the evening of March 13 after several days of siege.  McCown was criticized for abandoning arms and supplies in a hasty withdrawal from positions at New Madrid.   Amid the criticism, McCown was accused of drunkenness and was replaced by William W. Mackall during the Battle of Island Number Ten.  However, McCown was later vindicated by an April 4 letter from Henry S. Foote's son Henry S. Foote Jr. that attributed the rumors circulated because of McCown's brother "who I'm told drinks freely" and because of jealousy at McCown's recent promotion. Foote called his son's letter a "patriotic act" in "these days of general fault finding and vulgar crimination".   Following the surrender of the Confederate garrisons after the battle, he commanded the 2nd Division of the Army of the West from April until June 20, when he assumed overall command of the Army of the West.

On June 27, McCown's command was added to the Second Corps of the Army of Mississippi.  General Bragg consolidated the Army of Kentucky and the Army of Mississippi into one force known as the Confederate Army of Tennessee, and McCown's division was made part of Lt. Gen. William J. Hardee's Corps.  The Army of Tennessee fought at the Battle of Stones River at  Murfreesboro near the end of 1862. McCown and other senior generals petitioned Jefferson Davis to relieve General Braxton Bragg in favor of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.  Davis refused to relieve either Bragg or the rebellious generals. McCown ran afoul of Braxton Bragg, who blamed McCown for the loss of New Madrid and labeled him "his worst division commander".  In March 1863 Bragg had McCown court-martialed, ostensibly for disobeying orders at Murfreesboro, but more likely for criticism of Bragg and Confederate officials, including Davis.   McCown was relieved of his command as the commanding general of the Army and was tried and found guilty of disobedience of orders on March 16, and sentenced to suspension from duty for a period of six months. McCown declared the Confederacy was nothing more than "a damned stinking cotton oligarchy... gotten up for the benefit of Isham G. Harris and Jefferson Davis and their damned corrupt cliques."  That May, most of his command was sent for service in Starkville.

By 1865 McCown was in North Carolina. In April he defended a Catawba River crossing near Morganton. McCown held the crossing against the Union cavalry division of Brig. Gen. Alvan C. Gillem with about 300 soldiers and one artillery piece. After the war he was paroled from Salisbury on May 12.

Postbellum
Following the war, McCown became a teacher in Knoxville, Tennessee. Later he moved to Magnolia, Arkansas, and took up farming. In 1870 he moved to Little Rock, again engaged in farming. McCown died in Little Rock in 1879 and was buried in City Cemetery in Magnolia.

A bird, McCown's longspur (Rhynchophanes mccownii), was named in his honor in 1851, after he collected the type specimen. In 2020, it was renamed "thick-billed longspur" by the American Ornithological Society, due to his Confederate associations.

If you're already a current associate looking to grow your career at Nestlé, begin the job application process here.
A one-stop resource to explore and engage with us as you consider our internships, co-ops, and development programs. Plus, you can chat live with a recruiter, receive in-depth information on our career opportunities for students, and attend engaging webinars—all while discovering the latest Nestlé news, content, and events.

Information Technology at Nestlé North America values an inclusive culture and a diverse set of backgrounds. Talent from every branch of the military service complements our agile and innovative environment in many ways. Military service members offer skills such as the ability to adapt, work well under pressure, lead through integrity, and enable others to learn and grow. The unique assets gained from an inclusive and diverse culture help us better serve our customers.
As civilians, there is one thing we are certain of regarding your military background—a résumé doesn't do your experience enough justice. However, it's your ticket into the recruiting process, whether it be at Nestlé or someplace else, so we hope these insights will help you craft your military/professional story.
A long-time theory and written rule exists that one-page résumés are a best practice, but times have changed. The real rule to effective résumé writing is about being strategic with what you include, not how much.
If you have several years of military or civilian experience behind you, we expect that will come with a longer, more detailed résumé. In fact, it is perfectly acceptable, if not suggested, to have different versions of your résumé—each tailored to the civilian jobs in which you apply for.
In other words, you may qualify for different types of jobs, like an IS/IT Project Manager and also a Systems Analyst, but that doesn't mean you would share details about your experience or skills in the same way for each of these roles. For the jobs in which you choose to apply for, read the job posting carefully to fully understand the responsibilities and skills needed. Read between the lines when viewing a job posting—what are the different listed responsibilities suggesting you need in terms of aptitude and skill set? This will also help you think through how to detail examples and key wins within your résumé that relate directly to the posting.
Your vast military experience gives you a uniquely diverse background that we're excited to learn more about. However, your ranking and responsibilities may not clearly indicate what your civilian career aspirations are. Including a concise objective statement can help summarize what you hope to do next, how your skills might make you a strong fit for the job, and suggest where (geographically) you plan to work. As a large percentage of transitioning service members consider moving geographies to begin a civilian lifestyle, it is important to consider ways in which you can show localization. For example, list your intention within the objective statement to relocate cities/states by a particular date so recruiters and hiring managers have a better understanding of your availability and proximity.
As recruiters and talent sourcers, we do our homework so we're prepared to review résumés with military experience and conduct interviews with service members/veterans like you. It's important to us that we can understand and relate to you. However, we certainly won't know everything. Without compromising the content of your résumé, think about how you can translate military vocabulary into civilian-speak so we can further discover how your accomplishments can translate to the job. Skills translators, like Résumé Engine, can serve as an effective tool to assist in this process.
Is the content formatted in a consistent way throughout?
Are all dates and timeframes accurate?
Are your experiences, skills, and accomplishments listed in a way that relates to the job posting?
Are all acronyms spelled out as a first reference?
Do the contents of your résumé match what is listed on your LinkedIn profile (if applicable)?
Follow us on Facebook and LinkedIn for more career tips and guidance to navigate the recruiting process at Nestlé.
Most importantly, know that it is truly an honor for us to read your résumé and learn about your military experience. Thank you for your service!
Behavior-based interviewing has been around for over 25 years and has begun to shed light on research showing that past performance is a strong predictor of future performance. Both our phone interview and face-to-face interview processes (which may be virtual at times) are behavior based. In this type of interview, questions are structured to extract specific examples and experiences from you—as the interviewee—to help determine how you may react or behave in similar situations you might face within your new civilian role.
Here's the tricky part. As a military service member, no civilian interviewer can quite understand or relate to the stresses and experiences you've endured while in uniform. However, we have all the confidence in the world you may have what it takes to exceed expectations on the job here at Nestlé.
Think about the desired behaviors Nestlé (or another employer) is seeking based on what you see in the job posting (e.g. teamwork, ability to influence, initiative, work ethic, problem solving, etc.).
Also think of specific examples from previous experiences (in the military or otherwise) that highlight your individual skills. You may wonder how infantry or artillery expertise can transfer to the corporate world—don't focus so much on the hard military skills, but what skills or traits did you gain from acquiring that knowledge and experience? And how can that transfer over?
Write your examples and notes down and review them before the interview—often times, seeing it visually can help. In fact, you can bring those notes with you to the interview if you choose to. Our interview process is not a test, so there's no harm in jogging your memory with a few notes.
Be prepared for the interviewer to ask follow-up questions to probe deeper into each of your examples to help further understand your technical knowledge or how you approached specific issues.
*Remember, our knowledge of processes and technologies used in the military may be very limited. We don't expect to fully understand the details, but we will need to be able to gauge if the behavior/actions you exhibited were appropriate for the situation.
Think of behavior-based interviewing as storytelling. Explain the situation, behavior, and outcome for each example you provide. Explaining the situation should be brief—give us some concise context to set the scene. The majority of your storytelling will be about the specific behaviors you exhibited.
Focus on most recent examples from the military or other jobs. What do we mean by "examples"? Situations in which you solved a technical problem, developed a solution, or overcame adversity that led to an effective outcome.
Be confident and proud of what you've accomplished, whether it be while serving in the military or someplace else. Stick to the facts and practice articulating your specific actions (behaviors) within each situation. Practicing this with a friend or family member may help this process feel more realistic.
Take your time. It's better to take a moment to breathe and think of a good example than to answer too quickly with a poor one.
Err on the side of giving more details than you think you need to describe each situation and behaviors. Especially when it comes to explaining military terminology or processes.
Don't be afraid to take credit—define your role in the group/combat team/battalion (or otherwise) when explaining a situation. Use "I", not "we" when you're able.
We expect you'll have some questions for us, too. But, don't ask questions just to ask questions. Bring to us your curiosity so we can help confirm if we're the right fit for you.
It is very important to us that we help you to succeed in this process. Should you receive a face-to-face interview after the phone interview, you will have an opportunity to speak with a member of our Recruiting Team to ask any questions you have about next step of the interview process. We're here for support—we salute you!

Adopting a child is a special gift, and we hope to assist with offsetting a few of the costs incurred with growing your family. There are some variances across this program depending on your role within the organization.
