The business of transporting hazardous materials and goods by commercial vehicles is strictly regulated. Dangerous cargo poses a risk to the truck driver as well as people who are in the vicinity of the carrying vehicle. These claims can be far more complex, and the insurance coverage limits are typically much higher to allow sufficient funding for victims who suffer injury caused by HAZMAT drivers. If you were hurt in an accident involving a truck carrying hazardous materials, you likely will be entitled to generous compensation for your suffering and losses. At Nagle & Associates, Raleigh truck accident attorney Carl Nagle fights hard for victims of serious motor vehicle collisions, and he understands the devastating impact of a truck accident upon not only a victim but also their loved ones. We have seven offices throughout North Carolina, and our firm has extensive experience dealing with personal injury cases against truck drivers and trucking companies. We stand ready to protect and enforce your legal rights.
Before focusing his legal practice solely on victim advocacy, Mr. Nagle formerly worked in the insurance industry. As part of his professional experience as an insurance claims adjuster and an insurance company attorney, Mr. Nagle defended negligent truck drivers and truck companies. The insider knowledge gained by working in the insurance industry has helped him develop strategies to maximize compensation on behalf of North Carolina victims. We have recovered hundreds of millions for injured individuals throughout North Carolina, including in Asheville, Wilmington, and Winston-Salem.
Due to the high level of danger involved when a collision occurs involving a truck carrying hazardous materials, the federal insurance coverage requirements mandate higher insurance policy limits for drivers who transport hazardous materials. For a typical truck carrying non-hazardous cargo, the coverage requirement per collision is $750,000.00. For trucks that carry hazardous materials, the coverage requirement increases to either $1 million per collision or $5 million per collision, depending on the amount and type of hazardous cargo being transported.
Truck drivers carrying hazardous materials must be properly trained and endorsed, and the truck must pass rigorous pre-trip safety inspections. Additionally, drivers transporting hazardous materials, such as explosives, radioactive substances, fuels and flammable liquids, or poisonous or infectious substances, are required to undergo a security threat assessment mandated by the Transportation Security Administration and Department of Transportation. Many federal safety regulations are imposed in order to protect people sharing the road with trucks carrying hazardous cargo.
Victims who are hurt in an accident involving a truck carrying hazardous materials may face dire medical complications, serious injuries, and even death. Even if there was no immediate traumatic injury in the crash, exposure to hazardous material often mandates immediate medical attention. Unfortunately, victims of truck crashes may endure years of pain and suffering. In any case involving lasting injury, you must come forward with expert medical opinions concerning future medical needs and suffering before you can collect money for future medical needs and for future pain and suffering.
Truck drivers transporting hazardous materials are under pressure to deliver their loads promptly. Despite an understanding of the dangers posed by their cargo, drivers may speed to get to their destination. If speeding or issues like driver fatigue cause an accident, the driver and the trucking company may be held legally responsible for the resulting injuries. Other accidents may be caused by a truck company's failure to properly abide by standards for transporting materials. To save time or financial resources, trucking companies may ignore minor problems or choose not to conduct the necessary inspections. This makes a trucking company legally responsible for harm caused by their negligent conduct.
After establishing liability, a victim will need to demonstrate the full extent of their economic and noneconomic damages. If an accident has led to a tragic death, the family or representative of the deceased person may pursue a wrongful death claim against the driver and potentially the trucking company. A wrongful death claim is intended to put the relatives and legal beneficiaries of the deceased person in the position in which they would be had their loved one survived.
Attorney Carl Nagle has been representing North Carolina truck accident victims for over 20 years. If you or someone close to you has been hurt in a crash, contact Nagle & Associates to begin the process of pursuing compensation for the costs of your medical care and lost income, as well as damages associated with your loss of quality of life and your pain and suffering. Raleigh truck accident lawyer Carl Nagle is committed to asserting the rights of victims, and his understanding of the insurance industry allows us to overcome insurance carrier efforts to minimize your claims. We have represented people in Raleigh, Wilmington, Winston-Salem, Asheville, Hickory, Greensboro, Charlotte, and other cities throughout Wake, Mecklenburg, Guilford, Forsyth, Catawba, Durham, Cumberland, and New Hanover Counties.

Former Oxford MP speaks about collapsing during House of Lords debate
Nicola Blackwood speaks about Ehlers Danlos and collapse at despatch box
Nicola Blackwood
FORMER Oxford West and Abingdon MP Nicola Blackwood has said she is pleased to be able to 'shine a light' on a rare medical condition after she collapsed at the despatch box last week.
Ms Blackwood, who was made a baroness in January, was answering an urgent question on the hospital listeria outbreak at the House of Lords before she fainted.
The Health and Social Care Minister repeated 'I'm going to faint' before collapsing.
In a series of tweets on Monday she thanked people for their support and talked about having Ehlers Danlos (EDS), a genetic joint mobility syndrome, which she was diagnosed with in 2013.
Read our interview with Nicola Blackwood about the condition
As a result of her EDS, she also suffers with postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS), an an abnormality of the autonomic nervous system affecting blood pressure and heart rate.
She wrote: "I'd like to thank the peers and House staff who kindly helped me get back on my feet and everyone for your messages of support and even flowers.
"Like half of London it seems I've been fighting off the flu over the last couple of weeks and an occupational hazard with #eds & #POTS is infections play havoc with your blood pressure so you can faint unexpectedly - but it really is no big deal."
ALSO READ: Former Oxford MP says losing seat was a 'great sadness'
She added: "On one hand like anyone I was frustrated and embarrassed my body gave up on me at work and it'll never not be strange to have my health condition reported as 'news', but I am grateful it gives me a chance to shine a light on a condition many others are also living with."
Speaking about the condition to the paper in 2015, she said it had been a 'long, rocky road' to diagnosis but the NHS had been 'fantastic' in helping her.
She added: "I'm lucky I don't face life threatening complications like some EDS patients; in fact I've found that it's been the simplest things like eating a high salt diet and pilates that have made the biggest difference."

Home/Events/Jewish Acappella Group Leads Havdallah for Adventure Judaism
Jewish Acappella Group Leads Havdallah for Adventure Judaism
Rabbi Jamie Korngold February 18, 2021	Events Comments Off on Jewish Acappella Group Leads Havdallah for Adventure Judaism
On March 6, 2021 at 6 pm MST, Pizmon, a New York based Acappella group, will be leading a Havdallah service and concert for the Adventure Judaism Community.
Pizmon is the co-ed, pluralistic Jewish a cappella group of Columbia University, Barnard College, and The Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Since its inception in 1987 as the first collegiate Jewish a cappella group, Pizmon has traveled to hundreds of communities within the United States and around the world to share our love of Jewish music and culture. Pizmon's repertoire consists primarily of liturgical pieces, Israeli rock and pop, Yiddish and Ladino music, and children's songs.
Pizmon is more than an a cappella group, we are a Jewish outreach group that sings a cappella! Our mission is to bring ruach (spirit) and Jewish music to communities around the globe.
Every year, we take a spring break trip that we like to call our "Music Outreach Initiative", during which we visit communities that we are not able to reach during the school year. Through this trip, we aspire to heighten the Jewish experience of the communities we visit, engage in community service oriented work, and spread our love of Jewish music to residents of old age homes, hospitals, schools, and congregations.
In the past, the group has traveled overseas to countries including the Netherlands, Poland, Costa Rica, Panama, England, Wales, France, Ukraine, Canada, Israel, and Brazil, and domestically to New Mexico, Arizona, Washington, California, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. We have also performed in such venues as the White House and Lincoln Center.
As a Jewish pluralistic group, we have members originating from nearly every Jewish background. Through our identity as Jews and our love of music, we strive to be role models for Jewish youth and enhance the religious experiences of Jewish communities of all denominations.
This event is free for members. Register Here>>
Membership is $42 a month and can be canceled at any time. Find our more here>>

After a protective coatings has been applied, it is important to ensure there are no defects or discontinuities present that expose the substrate beneath. Small areas of thin or missing coating, called 'pinholes' or 'holidays', can become foci for corrosion and drastically reduce the life of a protective coating system. A holiday detector is a non-destructive instrument used for detecting these discontinuities. Other names include porosity detector, continuity tester, and holiday tester.
DeFelsko offers two types of porosity/pinhole detectors: low voltage (wet sponge) and high voltage (spark tester). Low voltages detectors, like the PosiTest LPD, are typically used on coating systems less than 500 µm (20 mils) thick. High voltage spark testers, like the PosiTest HHD operate at voltages up to 35,000V and are typically used on coatings more than 500 µm (20 mils) thick.


Pepe, the food truck by José Andrés, just got licensed to sell their sandwiches in Virginia and Maryland. We spotted the truck parked in Arlington's Crystal City on Wednesday for a media lunch, and we look forward to seeing it in Bethesda, Rosslyn, and other truck food meccas soon.
In addition to the sandwiches, I must note that the non-alcoholic Pepe Tonic beverage is ridiculously amazing. It is a carbonated drink that starts off tasting like a mild Sprite, then ends up with a warm chai/nutmeg/cinnamony flavor.


As with everything Joy makes, it was very yummy. I especially liked it since I'd had root canal work and I needed something soft to eat!
True. The beans clogged up the straw.
Pffft. All of a sudden my nose itches.


So I just have a quick question for the game as a whole, because I'm curious where everyone stands on this and see if maybe my beliefs are shared.
I get that we're a roleplay game, but sometimes when people come back to the game after long periods of not playing... They are typically not the same person. Their mannerisms are different, their goals are different, their drives and ambitions are different, and they may even play different aspects of the game from their previous time.
So my question is this: Should a player still be held accountable for what they may or may not have done in the past, especially if coming back from an extended break? And if so, why??
With tools like retirement and stuff, I have been able to reinvent myself in different capacities, or...sometimes the same....to which I found dislike for them again and left them behind. I think accountability for roleplay and character choices is important. I know personally some of my choices were pretty bad, though from a character standpoint...totally on par and classic bologna for those characters.
If I was to come back and be totally different, from an RP standpoint I would have to find an explanation for that, sure I could go the amnesia route, but I would eventually learn what I did and feel pretty garbage or resentful.
RP is like onions it has layers, you can definitely handle it in many ways.
People reinvent themselves all the time, and it's perfectly fine to do, but keep in mind that everyone else around you won't share that same continuity. It doesn't mean you have to stage or create these elaborate scenes but instead an evolution that nobody understands upon return. I've seen characters return with amnesia and down right refuse they were whoever they were. This meant for the continuity of story that the character just flat out no longer knew anyone and story line had to be established all over again.


1,3MWp carport installation at Old Mutual Head Office | A.R.E.P.
SolaFuture's planning and execution of the Old Mutual carport PV installation was very good, and the solution was delivered as expected. Their communication and constant interaction with the Project stakeholders was exemplarily, resulting in a very easy project to manage.
As anticipated and as with any project we were not spared of issues. We've experienced a few during the commissioning of the system, as well as panels shaken loose by erratic violent storm winds. SolaFuture were however very quick to respond and correct without jeopardizing the project timeline, quality of the product, and at no additional cost to the client, conforming to project scope. It was a pleasure dealing with such consummate professionals.

New course project wins EntrepreneurshipU Award
A new North Central College course and its class project, the Social Innovation Challenge, were recognized as the Social Entrepreneurship Initiative of the Year.
"What could be better than the very first time you offer a course and the first time you create and implement the challenge that it ends up winning an award," said Tom Cavenagh, Schneller Sisters Professor of Leadership, Ethics and Values (LEV), professor of business law and conflict resolution, and director of LEV.
North Central was honored for its high level of student engagement, innovative ideas and individual student projects. The award was an EntrepreneurshipU Award, an initiative of the Future Founders Startup program.
Jeremy Gudauskas '99, associate dean of students, and Whitney Roberts '08/M '13, assistant director for civic engagement, launched the Social Innovation Challenge as part of their courses, LEV 335 Social Impact Entrepreneurship and LEV 301 Social Change and Servant Leadership. Taught during fall term, the combined classes of 50 students collaborated in workshops, heard guest speakers and worked on similar goals for their final projects.
[Photo, below: Whitney Roberts '08/M '13 and Jeremy Gudauskas '99]
The class projects included a proposal for an innovative or social project, an implementation and budget plan, and a pitch to a panel of judges.
"A lot of schools have pitch competitions, but not many fully focus on a social impact component," said Roberts.
Projects ranged from designing ways to support mothers in Honduras with skill development and job placement to working to relieve education inequality among Latino students through better legislation. Ten finalists were chosen to compete in the Social Innovation Challenge, which was open to all students, and four projects were named winners. Students of the winning projects received mentoring, guidance and financial resources to turn their ideas into reality.
"We saw an opportunity to focus on course content, which led to great context and students thinking about projects related to real social impact outcomes. These are values of the institution," said Roberts. "And we had a chance to tailor a pitch competition with social innovation and resources from various grants to back it up."
"This award," said Cavenagh, "recognizes a class and the challenge, which are part of a much bigger picture that in some ways is becoming the LEV brand: social innovation, social impact, social change. LEV is all about giving students options to enhance and enlarge what they're doing in their disciplines, making them better at what they do, and better leaders and citizens."
North Central is known nationwide for its entrepreneurship efforts, said Gudauskas. "It was good for the College to be recognized locally, too, and included in a cohort of Chicago-area schools that are doing some really interesting things. One of our goals in LEV and as a college is to be recognized as a dedicated leader and changemaker in our field."

*ARC REVIEW* ~ The Trickster's Song (The Loki Series Book 3), by Samantha Macleod
#NorseMythology #eroticromance
Adult/18+ content
Book Blurb
Long ago, Loki the Trickster tried to steal the golden apples of immortality. But why? And what did he plan to do with them?
Now, Loki's mortal wife Caroline has just given birth to their first child. The sleep-deprived parents struggle to enjoy their first night out in months, but an old song gives rise to older memories, and Caroline finally hears the dark and heartbreaking story of why Loki attempted to steal Iðunn's magical apples.
And what he lost in the attempt.
Just wow! Beautifully crafted work
I've been fortunate to have read all of the books in Samantha Macleod's Loki series and they are all excellent reads. With The Trickster's Song however, she has surpassed herself in raising the bar even higher in terms of the quality of her writing and storytelling. The novel is beautifully crafted, weaving scenes of emotional depth and intensity with those of erotic and carnal delight. It can be read as a standalone but I would urge readers to read the other books in the series to fully appreciate the skills of this author in weaving a spellbinding tale.
It is a story within a story, where Loki opens up to Caroline, his mortal wife, revealing his own personal torment of loves won and lost. Throughout the previous books we have gained an insight into Loki's past and the role foist upon him by the circumstances of his birth and above all by Odinn, the ruler of Asgaard. We have also shared his disappointments and triumphs and rejoiced at his marriage with Caroline and the birth of their first child.
Whereas before we have been treated to glimpses into his dark past this book explains the motivation for his ill fated attempt to steal Iodunn's magical apples, his subsequent heartbreak and the far reaching consequences. It is an emotional and heartrending tale, recounted by Loki in the first person narrative. As a reader it has both deepened my knowledge of and respect for his complex character. It has also explained some of his actions and relationships with other characters who feature in previous books.
It has elegantly written prose and an original plot line that breathes life into Norse myths and legends surrounding Loki and fellow immortals and their relationships with mortals and others who populate the Nine Realms. It reminds the reader that all of us are to a large extent the products of our pasts, however painful or joyful they may be.
Highly recommended for lovers of tales containing myths and legends, which explore both the darkness and the joy that can mark our existence.
Please note that a copy of this book was given to me by the author for the purpose of a fair and honest review.

Leaving the Western Ghats and Tea plantation area of Kerala this morning but wanted to post a few not very close pictures I took of tea pickers. They are all women. They wear big plastic sheets (bags?) tied at the waist for clothing. Maybe because of tea stains? They wear tump lines on their heads, the baskets on their backs. They seem to live in plantation housing. The tea workers were originally brought by the British from Tamil Nadu, a state just East of here, in order to work. My understanding is that current workers are descendants of the original workers.

The brilliant green! thank you.
Sorry to be brief at times in commenting. I am just using mobile devices and they have been handling comments strangely. No more wifi for the moment. K.
Fascinating, and I love the 'homemade' look of the terraces–like things I used to build when afflicted with herbal remedies and lots of time on my hands. That green is incredibly intense. thanks for the details on the workers and system and backstory, as well.


What do other people think about game right now?
Jackie claims Daniel was Mafia.
Alex implicitly claims that Jordan is town for having survived the lynch.
Josh implicitly claims that Daniel and Lucy were Town, by getting a Mafia count of 3.
Luke claims that Tin is Mafia, by having gotten a positive investigation on Tin killing Pesto.
Erin is not in game.
Erin and Daniel should presumably be removed from the Alive Players group.

BLACKPINK (Wikipedia Commons)
Korean pop culture has been on the rise, with some great dramas and music rewarded with booming success in the west. By far the most influential girl group in the world today is BLACKPINK. The group consists of 4 girls, which the image displays from left to right: Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa. BLACKPINK first debuted in August 2016. Their songs have topped both South Korea's Gaon Digital Chart and the US Billboard World Digital Song Sales charts. Their newest album entitled BORN PINK is not only their newest & best-selling album, but is actually the most sold album out of any South Korean girl group, period. It's even the title of their second world tour.
We're reporting this because we get to help some of the greatest in music. Our job involves delivering & installing industrial gas cylinders to various nightclubs, restaurants, and special events. We're especially known in the entertainment industry for working with production managers to provide theses services to their special events. Our fast delivery and installation teams work in the United States & parts of Canada.
If you didn't know, our carbon dioxide cylinders are used in music concerts with the purpose of being the special fx source. The equipment that generates the effects seen throughout the venue needs a source to create them in the first place, and the CO2 tanks can facilitate that need. Venue stages can achieve different vibes and visuals with the right amount of fog and cryo jet blasts with our CO2 tanks hooked to their equipment. Without them, visible beams of light and lasers couldn't be seen to the human eye either.
BLACKPINK has been on their worldwide tour since October 15th in Seoul, South Korea. When that weekend ended, from October 25th - November 20th, BLACKPINK had traveled & performed in seven North American venues. Our CO2 tanks had gone to these select venues so that BLACKPINK had special fx equipment working and enhancing the magic on the stage. If you saw them recently, you likely went to one of the following venues:
American Airlines Center (Dallas, TX)
Toyota Center (Houston, TX)
State Farm Arena (Atlanta, GA)
First Ontario Centre (Hamilton, Ontario)
United Center (Chicago, IL)
Prudential Center (Newark, NJ)
Banc Of California Stadium (Los Angeles, CA)
We delivered and installed our gas cylinders to all seven of them. Our time with BLACKPINK ended on November 20th. Their BORN PINK tour went to Europe on November 30th and they'll be performing in various other parts of the world up until June 21st, 2023.
Our more common customers work in restaurants and nightclubs, but some of our favorites come from the music industry, as we get to see and help some of the greatest in the industry. Working with BLACKPINK was a great surprise! While they're moving on to their next location, we'll be working with other artists, making gas deliveries to their special events. Please speak with our customer service staff if a production manager such as yourself is in need of special FX equipment, as we offer discounts on some of our services for long-term music tours taking place in the United States & parts of Canada. Give us a call at 877-280-5321 or place an order with us online.

- Upon completing A Favor for a Friend - you go, Geralt - you'll wake up on the banks of Velen, just north of Fyke Isle. It's pretty obvious where you have to go, and if you feel like swimming you won't be facing a terribly long trip. If you'd rather boat you can walk east, to Graham's old house, to find a worthy vessel waiting.
If you let Keira go without a fuss the quest will end. You'll find her later in the game, and she won't be in a good way.
If you try to stop Keira with force you'll get into a fight with her. She's a boss-level character with some potent attacks, and her high mobility makes her difficult to hit with signs besides Axii. Either keep rushing her and sidestepping her magic attacks - they're fast, but she's kind of a slow caster, so they're nicely telegraphed - or hit her from afar with arrows or bombs. She has some loot on her body once she goes down.
If you invite Keira to go to Kaer Morhen she'll live, and you'll see her again late in the game, assisting you. If you go this route you can also force her to give up Alexander's Notes before she leaves.
Regardless of your choice the quest ends, and so does Keira's little quest line.


It's obvious quite a few of you like the idea of Sketchercise!
However it was very sad yesterday to have to turn down about half the people who applied for membership of Sketchercise yesterday. This is because while our Ning community is still very new and getting off the ground we're limiting new members to people who are already active in terms of sketching combined with some form of activity. What that means is that I take a look at your website or blog to find evidence of what you've achieved so far - in terms of combining sketching and exercising.
Some people were engaged in only one - but not the other activity.
As a result, I've decided (a bit like Urban Sketchers) that's there's going to be a need for a place where people can join in while they develop their sketchercise habit.
So I've set up a new group on Flickr - called Sketchercise on Flickr! See http://www.flickr.com/groups/sketchercise/. This is the description of how it works.
Sketchercise is for people who enjoy sketching AND taking exercise to maintain or improve their health outside a gym!
SKETCHERCISE ON NING All you need to do to join the Sketchercise on Ning group is to enjoy sketching from life (no photos!), have already developed the sketching habit AND have found ways of getting out and about - with a sketchbook. You can walk or cycle or paddle your own canoe - so long as it involves activity and sketching! This group is for people who've already got the Sketchercise habit and we review your nominated website for evidence of this before new memberships are approved.
SKETCHERCISE ON FLICKR If you like the idea of Sketchercise and want to have a go at Sketchercise and develop a Sketcercise habit then this NEW FLICKR GROUP is the place to post your sketches and show us how you're getting on. Post all your sketchercise sketches in this group and tag them all with 'sketchercise' and that makes them easy to find.
So Sketchercise on Flickr will be the group which in future I will refer people to if they apply to join Ning but have very little demonstrable evidence of sketching and exercising at the same time.
It has a few rules which are detailed below. The emphasis is on the process rather than the output - we're not expecting drawings or paintings which are exhibition ready!
Note: My sketch is another one for the Ecology Park pond series and is of Willow Pond and was done while on my walk last Thursday morning. You can see Bert the Heron sat on Heron Bridge in the foreground!


Please note: "Where There's a WILL, There's a WAY - A Path to Acting with Shakespeare, Text Study, and Performance" has been cancelled. Jack Wetherall, our instructor, has received a wonderful job opportunity with a theatre in Washington, D.C. "I am particularly apologetic to the actors who have enrolled in my course thus far," said Jack.
Summer Theatre Intensive package includes tuition, accommodation, theatre ticket, and all meals.
You are required to provide a deposit of $100 to hold your place in a course. Enrolment is limited. Participation in each course is for those 19 years of age and older.
Payments are non-refundable after June 17, 2013. Any cancellation must be in writing. Theatre Ontario reserves the right to withdraw any course with full course refund.


Perfect for Christmas festivities and afternoon snacking!
1. In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
2. Add Rice Krispies cereal and stir until well coated. Transfer the mixture to a plate covered with parchment paper and allow to cool down a little.
3. Using your fingers (you can grease your hands with a bot of butter), form small balls, rolling them progressively between your palms.
4. In a double boiler, melt white chocolate, stirring with a wooden spoon until smooth. Using two forks, dip each ball into the white chocolate and immediately transfer to a baking sheet lined white parchment paper.
5. Dust each ball with crushed peppermint before the chocolate has set (or roll them straight into the crushed peppermint!). Refrigerate before serving. Enjoy!

How I finally got job interviews at my dream companies
Published Fri, Jan 5 2018 12:08 PM EST
DJ Chung, Glassdoor
Bartek Szewczyk | Getty Images
In 2013, I was ready for a career change.
Well, to even say I had a career is generous. It'd had been four years since I graduated college with an Econ degree and I was jumping between one random thing to another to pay the rent. I was stuck. Amongst other things, this included trying to sell ebooks and pants (yes, like real pants) online. I had learned to make basic iPhone apps, but it was immediately clear I wasn't going to be coming up with the next app idea that was going to go viral.
I set a goal for myself to get a job at a top-tier tech company to jumpstart my career.

8 reasons why you didn't make it past the first interview
What your references should say about you
How to make your career change dream into reality
A series of setbacks
I spent days perfecting my resume, but couldn't get an interview. Naturally, I assumed that meant I had to work on it more. I agonized over every word and drove myself crazy with formatting. I finally perfected it, and every time I applied to a job posting, I was filled with hope. This is going to be the job that gets me into tech, I thought.
But I wasn't getting interviews. Even when I was applying through referrals, I wouldn't hear back. Eventually, it hit me: I was applying to the wrong roles.
Suzy Welch: The surprising career advice Jeff Bezos gave me
Get To Work: With Suzy Welch
I was going after software engineering and product manager roles at brand-name tech companies with limited programming and no product experience. No wonder I was getting rejected left and right — I was applying to roles I aspired to one day have, but in reality, my background and skills didn't meet the needs for those positions. At least, not yet. I had to change my approach.
Instead of thinking about what I wanted, I thought about it from the company's perspective: What needs do they have that I can fill right now?
Look for stepping stones
This approach is especially helpful if you're transitioning into tech from a different industry, non-traditional background or just don't have the relevant experiences for the role you want.
Since I didn't have the background or experience to get interviews for my aspirational roles, I started looking for positions that would be stepping stones toward them. I looked for roles that would give me relevant experiences for my next job — I was thinking two roles ahead.
Before applying to my aspirational role, I wanted to make sure I had two things. First, experience working at a brand-name tech company. Second, a role that gave me an understanding of how end-users used products. I knew those experiences would help prepare me for the job I would apply to next.
With that in mind, I honed in my job search on technical customer support roles. I wanted an end-user facing role where I could leverage the technical skills I built up learning how to make simple iPhone apps earlier in the year.
Suzy Welch: This rarely used tactic will help you get ahead
My big break
Once I started to apply for those roles, I was getting interviews, not rejections, left and right.
I had my sights set on the Forward Deployed Engineer role at Palantir and what later became the Product Specialist role at Dropbox. These two roles hit the criteria for the experiences I wanted to gain for future roles. Just as important, I had the background and skills that these roles needed now.
After going through onsite interviews at both companies, I eventually joined Dropbox as a Product Specialist (then called Embedded User Operations Engineer). I was able to immediately contribute in my first role at Dropbox and in one year, I transferred to the Partnerships team. A year after that, I successfully went through the internal interview process to become a Product Manager, my aspirational role.
Where you are now is not where you are going to be
By recommending stepping-stone roles, I'm not telling you to sell yourself short — I'm telling you to invest in your future. When you're trying to break into tech, for example, focus on getting into a tech company first, then transitioning into your aspirational role.
Everyone's situation is different, so by all means, if you'd like, go after your aspirational role right away. But if you're not even getting interviews, you may want to take a step back and consider if you're applying for the right roles.

It's premature to say vaccines can't deal with Omicron – Noguchi
Blood samples
A Scientist with the Noguchi Memorial Institute of Medical Research in Accra, Dr. Bright Adu has advised Ghanaians to adhere to the preventive protocols for coronavirus as the new Omicron variant is being examined.
Speaking to Lantam Papanko on Starr Today, he reiterated the need for Ghanaians never to lose guard on the protocols such as avoiding crowded places, washing of hands among others so as to be better placed even if the new variant should get to the community.
"Omicron is barely a few weeks old so it will be quite premature for anybody to make such a concrete statement. In terms of vaccine efficacy against the virus or its infectivity, the transmission from persons to person or other interventions that are currently working, how it will deal with this particular virus. We agree and understand that this is quite a big jump in the evolution of the virus.
"Because if you look at this and delta there is quite a huge difference but these are early days yet and we have to be patient and keep monitoring as it emerges. The virus cannot 100% escape the activity of any vaccine because it's still a coronavirus, and there is some semblance that the vaccine is made against. There would still be some (vaccine) effectiveness but we don't know to what extent and this is what everyone is anxiously working on, to try and understand how effective it will be," the Scientist explained to Starrfm.
He disclosed that there are satellite sample collection centers spread from South to the North of Ghana monitoring cases of influenza diseases adding that there is no case of Omicron Variant in the Ghanaian Community.
"These sites are used to monitor influenza diseases and people who report anything like fluid. We capture that, take samples and we look into all of these samples that we have collected and none of them had Omicron. So far as we can tell it has not yet escaped into the community.
"But of course we are monitoring and we will keep sequencing what we find to see if we can pick it up if it is already in the Communities," Dr. Adu added.
The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has confirmed that the COVID-19 Omicron variant has been discovered at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) in Accra.
However, the variant has not yet gotten to the Ghanaian communities.
The Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Dr Patrick Kuma-Aboagye, during a presentation at the launch of Ghana's Covid-19 vaccination month which starts Wednesday, December 1, 2021, confirmed the Omicron variant has been detected in the country.
"The Omicron variant of the COVID-19 disease has been found at the Kotoka International Airport. The good thing is that in the community test done so far, we have not seen any Omicron within the community of Ghana. But the danger is that if someone has the Omicron, and it is incubating, it will not be found at the airport," he cautioned.
However, the government has declared December as a vaccination month.

In 2011 he was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison after he pleaded guilty to bankruptcy and wire-fraud charges that he bamboozled creditors out of a whopping $767 million in loans.
Bamboozle doesn't have anything to do with bamboo, though etymologists aren't sure about its origin. It dates to at least the 18th century and was still a relatively new term when Jonathan Swift, in 1710, wrote an article complaining about "the Choice of certain Words invented by some pretty Fellows," listing bamboozle among them. That didn't stop later authors, such as Henry James and Herman Melville, from using the word.
With its first syllable like a sound effect, bamboozle carries a connotation of mystification or magic that applies when it is used to mean "to confuse, frustrate, or perplex," as in "The batters were bamboozled by the pitcher's dazzling curveball."
A primary story of this episode involved Liz, a supposedly good federal agent, being hoodwinked by her longtime beau in the dumbest of ways. Doctor pal Nik (Piter Marek) calls with a secret update? Tom successfully convinces Liz it's a telemarketer. Tom needs her identification for high-level access? Easy stuff, as he just snagged her badge at lunch and then dropped it back in her bag after some PDA.
Hoodwink once had a literal meaning: to cover one's eyes with a hood or blindfold. (As a noun, it's been used as another name for the game blindman's bluff.) The notion of blinding one from seeing the truth is what led to the verb eventually taking on the meaning "deceive."
An 81-year-old Peoria man might have been bilked out of $30,000 to $60,000 in a phone scam, according to a city police report.
Bilk usually suggests an act of taking money from someone, or denying it to someone to which it is owed. Because many card games require the tactic of deception, they've often been the source of deceptive vocabulary. Etymologists aren't positive, but bilk might be part of this category as an alteration of balk, a strategy used in the game of cribbage.
"Well, I don't know as I'd say he was such a whale of a scholar. I've always had a suspicion he did a good deal of four-flushing about that."
In poker, a four-flush is four out of five cards having the same suit. It's not worth anything, unlike a five-card flush, but players holding a four flush nevertheless might try to bluff their way into taking the pot.
Hence the noun four-flusher is one who boasts with nothing to back it up, and four-flushing describes one whose ways are fraudulent.
An ex-mortgage broker from New Jersey who fleeced an East Greenbush man out of $132,450 in retirement savings was sentenced to two years in federal prison Monday.
To fleece someone means to take something, usually money, from that person in a dishonest way.
The noun fleece refers to the wool that covers a sheep. When you are fleeced, you are stripped of something much in the way that fleece is shorn from a sheep. A similar notion is occasionally expressed in the verb skin, as in "got skinned in a bad deal."
But no one's running to the barricades on the refs' behalf now; no one's going to throw any bricks when they get euchred out of their pension program, either.
Euchre is a card game for four players that is played in tricks, or rounds, with a deck of 32 cards (or 24 for two-hand euchre). A player is euchred when an opponent blocks him or her from winning three or more tricks after making trump. Deception is a key part of the game, and sure enough it took almost no time at all for euchre to develop a sense meaning "cheat" or "trick."
Less than four years after its billionaire chairman, David H. Murdock, took Dole Food Co. private — and snookered investors in the process, a judge said — the company is once again planning to tap the public markets.
Now we move from cards to pool—and Andy Capp's favorite game. The British game of snooker is a variation of pool played with 15 red balls and 6 variously colored balls. The shooter is tasked with potting the balls in a proper sequence, so if the table is laid out as to make potting the proper ball impossible, the shooter is said to be snookered, a verb now used to mean "cheat" or "hoodwink."
Exactly one minute into the period, on the power play, Will Butcher threaded a pass to Drew Stafford, skating alone through the right circle. He deked and beat Pavelec on his backhand for a two-goal lead that seemed insurmountable for these frustrated Rangers.
Used primarily in hockey and occasionally in other sports, to deke is to make a move that fakes an opponent out of position. As a noun, it originated as a shortened form of decoy ("I offered to put the dekes out with him"—Ernest Hemingway), and its use as a verb in hockey naturally arose in Canadian publications. It occasionally sees general, non-sporting use to describe any evasive maneuver.


After three days of remembrance in the capital city, the Air Force plane with Bush's casket left for a final service in Houston and burial Thursday at his family plot on the presidential library grounds at Texas A&M University in College Station. His final resting place is alongside Barbara Bush, his wife of 73 years, and Robin Bush, the daughter who died of leukemia at age 3. His plane, which often serves as Air Force One, arrived at Ellington Field outside Houston in late afternoon.
Meacham recounted how comedian Dana Carvey once said the key to doing an impersonation of Bush was "Mr. Rogers trying to be John Wayne." None of that would be a surprise to Bush. Meacham had read his eulogy to him, said Bush spokesman Jim McGrath, and Bush responded to it with the crack: "That's a lot about me, Jon." The congregation at the cathedral, filled with foreign leaders and diplomats, Americans of high office and others touched by Bush's life, rose for the arrival of the casket, accompanied by clergy of faiths from around the world. In their row together, Trump and former Presidents Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton stood with their spouses and all placed their hands over their hearts.
Bill Clinton and Mrs. Obama smiled and chatted as music played. Carter was seated silently next to Hillary Clinton in the cavernous cathedral. Obama cracked up laughing at someone's quip. Vice President Mike Pence shook Carter's hand. Trump tweeted Wednesday that the day marked "a celebration for a great man who has led a long and distinguished life." Bush's death makes Carter, also 94 but more than 100 days younger, the oldest living ex-president. Following the cathedral service, the hearse and its long motorcade drove to the National Mall to pass by the World War II Memorial, a nod to the late president's service as a World War II Navy pilot, then transferred his remains at Joint Base Andrews for the flight home to Texas with members of his family.
Bush will lie in repose at St. Martin's Episcopal Church before his burial Thursday. On Tuesday, soldiers, citizens in wheelchairs and long lines of others on foot wound through the Capitol Rotunda to view Bush's casket and honor a president whose legacy included a landmark law affirming the rights of the disabled. Former Sen. Bob Dole, a compatriot in war, peace and political struggle, steadied himself out of his wheelchair and saluted his old friend and one-time rival.


Even those of us who prefer to use natural, non-toxic products still occasionally reach for the "real stuff" when we are serious about cleaning. Case in point: when going after germs. No one likes getting sick.
But the truth is, there are natural alternatives to the chemical-based cleaning products that we grew up with and constantly see advertised on T.V. Stores like Whole Foods and even some mainstream groceries now carry alternative product lines that are better for the environment and for your body.
You can take it a step further and make your own disinfectant spray for very little effort and cost.
Certain herbs and natural substances have been used as antiseptics since ancient times. In fact, their natural antiseptic properties helped popularize the use of such herbs as lavender, mint, and thyme. Window boxes full of these fragrant herbs aren't just a nice way to supplement your home cooking — they can actually freshen the air and keep insects at bay. And essential oils culled from these and other plants have potent antiseptic effects. The trick is to use these essential oils in the right amounts and combinations — otherwise they can be ineffective or, worse, toxic.
Mix them together in a spray bottle, and go! You can use this one for cleaning countertops, bathrooms, and cutting boards. Essential oil sprays should last a long time if stored in a cool, dark place.
