National badminton star Datuk Lee Chong Wei, who turned 36 last Sunday, October 21, is recovering from early stage nose cancer. He opened up in a recent interview with NST Online about his off the court battle.
The national shuttler, who returned to Malaysia this month after undergoing a two-month long treatment in Taiwan, has been recovering well and is eager to take to court.
While talking to NST Online about his off the court battle, the celebrated player shared that his nose cancer came 'as a shock'.
"…but it was fated and I have accepted it. No one expects things like this.
Displaying a positive outlook in the face of such personal adversity, Lee Chong Wei added that perhaps he 'needed this rest after all the years on the courts'.
When asked when can his fans see him back on the court, Lee Chong Wei said that while there is a possibility in February next year, it all depends on his progress and what the doctors say.
We pray for LCW's speedy recovery and hopes to see him back on the court healthier and stronger!

If you pull into oncoming traffic to check to see if it�s clear � even if it�s raining and you�re having trouble seeing � you are at fault.
To Dianne Dalrymple, the author of �Road rage,� (letter, Nov. 26): I�m sure you would agree that there are a lot of bicyclists who don�t follow the rules, and that there are a lot of bad drivers out there. In this case, I�m sure you would be surprised to learn that you were the bad driver and the one at fault.
Long story short, if you and the bicyclist had both waited for the police you would have gotten a ticket. You should thank the nice bicyclist, who certainly wasn�t hoping to fall off his bike that day when someone pulled out in front of him.
As a side note, I don�t ride my bicycle on local roads because it is beyond terrifying. I have ridden bicycles in Atlanta, in Charleston, S.C., and even through Manhattan and the Bronx in New York. I can say without exaggeration that our area is the scariest place that I have ever ridden, and statistically that measures out in the number of pedestrians and bicyclists hit. We live in a dangerous place for pedestrians and bicyclists, and that has a lot to do with careless drivers who make up traffic laws to suit themselves � regardless of what�s actually legal, or even courteous. Lucky for Dianne that she pulled out in front of a bicycle, and not a truck.


I've never owned the Couloir but I do own, and like, my Never Summer. Here's an excerpt from my earlier post in June- I purchased a Marmot "Never Summer" down bag last year for about $200 and have been very pleased. Overall quality was very good- I found the hood and draft tubes well engineered and comfortable, the zippers worked smoothly and didn't snag (especially in the middle of the night), and the bag temp rating to be generous. The bag compresses well and, as a reference point, fits into the sleeping-bag compartment of my Osprey Aether 75 pack. I use the bag late-fall to early-spring here in the mountains of northern NM.
I upgraded to a Couloir bag in 2001 to replace an old, top-of-the-line North Face 550 fill Ibex bag(circa 1982), and it's been hauled around on hundreds of winter trips and has kept me warm and snug inside a tent. Highly recommended.
The difference between the Never Summer and Couloir is fill and weight, the Never Summer(3 lbs 10 oz) having 600 fill and the Couloir(3 lbs 3 oz) with 750-800 fill. Go with the higher fill as it will be lighter and warmer.
I finally found the Couloir to be too cold at zero or below, so after 6 years of hard use I upgraded to a WM Puma. My Marmot has now become my "summer bag" and I can drape it over me when it's warm and eventually I end up underneath it by morning.
Appreciate the comments. I will try the Couloir.

After the events of this summer, I think that Paris and Cairo will forever be curiously enmeshed in my subconscious: cities of displacement, revolutions, new beginnings, dreams, nightmares, healing.
One of the most powerful experiences to cement this relationship was a visit to an exhibit at Paris' Institute du Monde Arabe called Le Théorème De Néfertiti, which was stunning in all kinds of ways. My favorite pieces were an exceptional short film titled Nefertiti by Ala Younis, inspired by the iconic Egyptian Nefertiti sewing machine (which I hope I'll find time to write about soon), and a work called The Prestige of Terror, by Alan Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin. The latter invokes the writings and work of the Egyptian surrealists of the 1930s and 40s but it felt more relevant to today than anything else I've read about Egypt. The ability of such decontextualized short phrases – inspired by the writings of manifestos nearly a century old, no less – to speak more clearly than the thousands of op-eds and articles written this summer simply stopped me in my tracks.
The link to the piece above will give you a better sense of what it looked like: short, clipped, and incredibly powerful phrases printed in English and Arabic, framed, and hung in a neat grid. Given the events in Egypt this summer, and my own journey too, they struck a major nerve. I'll include them below, interspersed with photos I took around the city as I pondered their meaning and felt them reverberate within my mind.

Oh Anny, that statue of the girl is my favorite in Paris. I miss you!

Stirling is most famous for the battle of Bannockburn but around the city are the sites of many battles fought from Roman times when southern invaders would drive the Scots into the hills North of Stirling that was land considered unconquerable and worthless. The city now has an interesting ancient quarter, the spectacular castle and the Wallace monument that are all worth visiting and also just outside the city the Blairgowrie wildlife park - Scotland's premier big animal wildlife zoo and adventure playground.

Seven Politicians Had A Great Day Yesterday, One Did Not. We're Happy With All The Results!
June 3, 2020 by Adam Dupuis
November needs to be a time of change. There is so much that needs to be altered in the United States that it cannot be done by one person taking over one seat. It will take a team effort to bring this nation out of "these trying times." I really hate that phrase, but it is true. We do not say that just because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the racial strife that is now palpable for all Americans to know, and see, but yet not all fully understand and all never will. The political disconnect across the aisles and the lessening of morality, mentality, and hope are yet other challenges November will try and solve, or at least begin the battle to mend. In order to get there, once again, we need new life, new breath, new progress to a better America, and maybe, just maybe, we are seeing more than one ray of hope after this Tuesday for both local, state, and federal positions.

Ella Jones Is Elected First Black Mayor of Ferguson
Ms. Jones is also the first woman to lead the Missouri city, which erupted in protests in 2014 after a white police officer shot and killed Michael Brown, a black teenager.
Ella Jones became the first African-American and first woman elected mayor in Ferguson, Mo., on Tuesday, nearly six years after the city erupted in protests after a white police officer shot and killed Michael Brown, a black teenager, propelling Ferguson into the national spotlight and galvanizing the Black Lives Matter movement.
Ms. Jones, vows to continue changes enacted after the 2014 shooting of Mr. Brown, including a federal consent decree, a legally binding agreement requiring reforms to a police department, and she has been upfront in supporting peaceful protests after the killing of Mr. Floyd in Minneapolis, while condemning the violence that has broken out in several cities.
In a video from Tuesday night, after her victory, she stated, "I've got work to do — because when you're an African-American woman, they require more of you than they require of my counterpart."
In 2015, Ms. Jones became the first black woman elected to the City Council, and though she was critical of the city's law enforcement system, she did not have enthusiastic backing from protesters at the time. For more on Jones' victory check out the full article on the New York Times.
Rep. Steve King defeated by Sen. Randy Feenstra
Steve King wikipedia photo
State Sen. Randy Feenstra defeated incumbent Rep. Steve King in Tuesday's Republican primary for Iowa's 4th congressional district, according to the Cook Political Report.
Steve King, the politician and not the beloved horror writer, has a history of racist remarks that have lead people to label him one of the most controversial politicians in the country and a pariah within the Republican Party.
No, he is not loved by democrats or even his own party. Not understanding why King would question how the terms "white nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization" became offensive, the House Republicans took King off all of his committee assignments in 2019.
Senator Feenstra has a great 2020 so far. The win comes after signs that he would defeat King, outpacing him in fundraising and morals. Even though he did not attack King on his white supremacist beliefs, Feenstra had great success in the polls by showing that King was being an "ineffective ally to President Trump" (axios.com).
Yes, this is good news for Americans in regard to removing a 9-term racist from Congress, but with the great showing by and support of Feenstra, it may mean that the Senate seat will remain Republican.
How will the democrats do against Feenstra. The party's best hope may be J.D. Scholten, an American paralegal, politician, and retired professional baseball player from the state of Iowa. Here's his first campaign commercial from last year.
The next two Tuesday results are from Indiana. What great changes may occur there in November?
Ashley Klein Wins Last Night's State House Primary
Ashleigh Klein – Facebook photo
Indiana state House candidate Ashley Klein won her Democratic primary Tuesday tonight and with a win in November will become the first openly LGBTQ person ever elected to the Indiana House of Representatives. She would join Indiana state Senator JD Ford as the only two out LGBTQ members of the Indiana state legislature. Klein is one of 68 LGBTQ candidates endorsed by LGBTQ Victory Fund that are on the ballot during Pride Month.
A lavender ceiling was shattered in Indiana Tuesday night, with Ashley Klein on-track to becoming the first out LGBTQ member of the Indiana state House. LGBTQ people are severely underrepresented in government throughout Indiana, with just 13 out elected officials in the entire state. Adding Ashley to the state House will ensure our voices are part of the debates and policy conversations that affect our lives. And given the anti-LGBTQ bills introduced in the state legislature this session already, it is clear LGBTQ voices are desperately needed. – Mayor Annise Parker, President & CEO of LGBTQ Victory Fund
Pat Hackett Wins Congressional Primary in Indiana
Pat Hackett – campaign photo
Pat Hackett won the Democratic primary for Indiana's 2nd Congressional District, putting her on-track to become the first openly LGBTQ member of Congress from the state. Hackett will face incumbent U.S. Representative Jackie Walorski – an anti-LGBTQ member who consistently votes against non-discrimination protections and other bills supportive of LGBTQ people. Walorski voted against providing spousal benefits to LGBTQ military veterans and supported efforts to classify abortions as "non-essential" during the pandemic.
District 2 includes the city of South Bend, whose former mayor Pete Buttigieg became the first openly LGBTQ Democratic presidential candidate in U.S. history last year.
Pat's victory sets up a general election battle between a solutions-oriented candidate aiming to unite her district in a time of crisis and an opponent who uses the politics of bigotry to further divide Americans. Even as the pandemic ravaged Indiana and the country, Walorski failed to put aside partisan politics and instead waged war against a woman's right to choose. Voters now have an opportunity to reject a divisive and destructive politician and instead elect a leader who will represent all her constituents. Pat will make history in becoming the first openly LGBTQ member of Congress from Indiana if elected in November. More importantly, she will head to Capitol Hill determined to focus on the real and pressing issues that affect the daily lives of Americans. – Mayor Annise Parker, President & CEO of LGBTQ Victory Fund
Theresa Greenfield to run against Joni Ernst – Iowa
Theresa Greenfield Facebook photo
Democrat Theresa Greenfield won her primary race this Tuesday and is set to take on Republican U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst this November in a marquee matchup expected to be among the most competitive in the country.
"I'm so excited tonight," Greenfield said Tuesday night in remarks delivered to supporters over Facebook Live. "We're going to celebrate this victory. And there's no doubt, this will be a tough fight, but an uphill battle has never stopped me before."
Ernst, who is seeking her second term in the Senate, released a video thanking supporters Tuesday evening.
"The president has called me 'relentless' as I fight for the things that matter most to Iowans, and I will continue to be your relentless fighter in the United States Senate," she said. "I appreciate your support, and we are going to drive on to the general election. We are going to turn Iowa red — no doubt about it.
Iowa could prove crucial in both parties' efforts to capture a majority in the U.S. Senate, which currently is controlled by Republicans, who hold 53 seats compared with the Democrats' 47. More than $55 million has been put into the race in Iowa alone. There are four hyper-competitive seats currently held by Republicans that the democrats dearly want to flip. Arizona, Colorado, North Carolina and Maine are the big battle grounds, but Iowa and Montana are two states the Dems feel they can also gain numbers. With Ernst's favorability and job approval ratings slipping by 10 points and two seats flipped in 2018, there is some hope for Dems in Iowa. Check out full coverage of Greenfield's win and her platform in a recent Des Moines Register piece.
Steve Bullock vs John Mues – Montana
Steve Bullock – Facebook photo
As mentioned above, Montana is another state where Democrats are hoping to make progress. Montana Gov. Steve Bullock (D) clinched the Democratic nomination in his state's Senate primary on Tuesday, defeating energy engineer and Navy veteran John Mues. Bullock won his second term as governor in 2016, the same year President Trump won Montana by 20 points in the general election.
Now, in the midst of this extraordinary crisis, Washington is more focused on shifting blame than seeking solutions. I'm running for the Senate to do away with partisan politics and do what is right for the American people. I'm running for the Senate to make Washington work more like Montana. – Steve Bullock
You may not recall, but Bullock was running for President for this November's election, but dropped out. Some of the recent polls show Bullock leading first-term Sen. Steve Daines, 46 percent to 39 percent. – thehill.com
Jaime Harrison vs Lindsay Graham – South Carolina
Jaime Harrison – campaign photo
Republican incumbent Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina has held the seat since 2003. Now his seat is in danger as some sources are reporting that he as moved from being tied on May 27th with Democrat Jaime Harrison (abcnews4.com), with now Harrison having a small yet, exciting lead.
A Civiqs poll stated in May that 56 percent of the voters had an unfavorable view of Graham, with 35 percent viewing him favorably. It also had Harrison as a 18-point favorite among independent voters by 46 to 28 percent.
Amy McGrath vs Mitch McConnell – Kentucky
The stage is not fully set as Amy McGrath has not been selected to represent democrats yet in the Kentucky Senate race against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, but running the numbers with her as the Dems nod, this race is shaping up to be one of the tightest, most contentious and expensive contests of the 2020 election cycle as polls show these candidates are either tied or are edging the other one out by single digits. Nonpartisan election forecasters project the race will go to McConnell.
We will know if McGrath receives the primary win over progressive farmer Mike Broihier and state representative Charles Booker omce the rescheduled primary happens on June 23rd. (newsweek.com)
There are many other politicians that are fighting the good fight. Let us now in the comments here or on Facebook which ones we missed.

New Haven House delegation praises start of Hill-to-Downtown project
The New Haven House legislative delegation applauded the groundbreaking of a mixed-use development project in the Hill neighborhood that is slated to become the centerpiece of the city's renaissance.
Local leaders, advocates and contractors began work today on the first phase of the Hill-to-Downtown development project, which includes the construction of 110 apartments and more than 2,000 square feet of retail space.
"As we move forward with efforts to revitalize, reinvent and restore our urban centers, it is vital that we continue to support projects that unlock our city's potential through the creation of new job and housing opportunities. This mixed-use building will become a flagship facility that will serve as the centerpiece of our city's renaissance," the New Haven House legislative delegation said. "The collaborative partnership between community stakeholders, city leadership and state officials helped turn residents' ideas and needs into a reality. This project will be a pillar of the Hill community for generations to come."
The project, which is being spearheaded by developer Randy Salvatore, will help revitalize the Hill neighborhood while creating new affordable housing and employment opportunities for residents.
The state allocated $5 million in aid to help finance the proposal. The Hill-to-Downtown Community Plan was made possible thanks to a collaborative effort between community stakeholders and city leaders.

These are images of my Great Aunt and her apartment in Paris. Regine was born in Poland, Dec 25, 1910 and died in Paris in 2007. She had lived in Paris since 1936 — and in this apartment for more than 30 years, widowed and without children or other family nearby. The images that make up this document reveal the passage of time on many scales. The waves of objects as they daily sweep in and out and also as they gradually accumulate around the edges.
They hint at both what was missing in her life and what filled it through layered compulsions of classification and arrangement. The natural accumulations that come from living in one's home and living in one's body. A spatial history of tchotchkes as well as living essentials.
It is important to note that these photos are not "set up", these are found scenes. Note also that some images document the same scenes over a number of months and years.

He still spends countless hours holed up in his bedroom carefully piecing together compositions, penning lyrics, and exploring sounds. His musical wanderlust yields a sound steeped in pop palatability, dusky cinematic electronics, and stark, stirring instrumentation.

Carlos Sanchez Berzaín
Bolivia2020, LATAM, Luis Arce
Bolivia, Democracy, Elections
"The most important event has not been the expedited swearing-in of Luis Arce as President, but the immediate return of the dictator Evo Morales to Bolivia openly flaunting the complete impunity for Morales and his dictatorial inner circle…"
raudulent elections and the swearing-in of Luis Arce as President of the Plurinational State have only been the means for Evo Morales' return to Bolivia. The coca harvester's chieftain who had ascended to Bolivia's presidency for five years without the right for reelection, held power for almost 14 years as a dictator, supplanting the Republic and ending democracy, the dictator who resigned and fled the country on 19 November of 2019 for electoral fraud and counterfeiting crimes, has now come back with total impunity, and has settled in his cocaine-producing area, ensuring that Bolivia will continue to be a narco-state, wielding authority as the regime's head and getting the Castro Chavist repression underway.
Bolivians' civil resistance and civic movements continue denouncing the gargantuan electoral fraud in the results of the recent 18 October elections with which Luis Arce -the handpicked candidate designated by Evo Morales- has been proclaimed President. Proof of the fraud is publicly well known and has been turned over to the Electoral Supreme Tribunal but the "vote-catching dictatorship" system rejects requests for "an audit" of election results that would corroborate the great farce that includes the use of adulterated voters' registry containing almost one million ghost voters (20% of the total) for candidate Arce and the regime's political party.
The most important event has not been the expedited swearing-in of Luis Arce as President, but the immediate return of the dictator Evo Morales to Bolivia openly flaunting the complete impunity for Morales and his dictatorial inner circle, with the total control of the judicial branch and the absolute inexistence of separation and independence of the branches of government.
Impunity is "the trait of going unpunished". It is the situation by which there is "an exemption or freedom from punishment, harm, or loss" and this condition allows for crime to be committed without holding anyone responsible for the consequences. This makes evident and proves "the inexistence of the rule of law", the existence of "inequality before the law" and consequently the "inexistence of democracy".
Evo Morales' proven impunity goes back to 2001, the year in which he perpetrated the Sacaba massacre when, after being ousted from Congress, he bargained with the government of Jorge Quiroga. This is again repeated a couple of years later with the granting of amnesty decrees 27234 and 27237 signed by Carlos Mesa to cover up the toppling of President Sanchez de Lozada. Instead of being investigated and prosecuted for crimes he has repeatedly and publicly confessed, these two decrees allowed Evo Morales to become the accuser instead of the accused in the suit against the toppled president, his ministers, and the military high command. These two decrees also allowed Morales to be a presidential candidate and ascend into power in 2006.
With public documentation, his resignation, and his fleeing from the country it was proven beyond all doubt that Morales had committed the crimes of electoral fraud, counterfeiting, and organized crime in the 2019 elections. His public telephonic conversation recordings proved his role as the head of criminal groups intent on blockading several cities in Bolivia and the ensuing massacres they perpetrated at Senkata and Sacaba in November of 2019, replicating acts and places in which he had committed similar crimes to topple the government in 2003. Morales has been accused of "statutory rape" and of "abuse of underage girls" aggravated by virtue of his position and his ample proven re-incidence. Within a matter of hours, all of these accusations have been "laundered" by his appointed judges and prosecutors.
It is certain that Bolivia will remain a narco-state. So that there is no doubt, Jaime Mamani Espíndola from the coca harvesters and cocaine producers' unions, who had declared "I come from the social movements from the tropic of Cochabamba, my commitment is based on the fight we fought against the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) …" has been designated as the Vice-Minister of Social Defense -the antinarcotics Czar- who will retake "Evo Morales' strategy". In 2016 at the UN, Morales affirmed that "the fight against narcotics' trafficking is an instrument of imperialism to oppress the peoples".
Factual reality leaves us no doubt that the Chieftain of the restored Castrochavist regime in Bolivia is Evo Morales and his surrogate operator is Luis Arce. It is not dual power; it is vertical power under Morales' command, and he exerts his authority over his former Minister of Economy, fraudulently declared the winning candidate. It is the maneuvering directed and operated by Castrochavism's strategists that are now being reinstalled at the Cuban and Venezuelan embassies in Bolivia.
Repression has come back and by applying the system of "judicializing dictatorial persecution" prosecutions and counterfeiting have started to silence citizens who continue denouncing the electoral fraud and ask for audits. They have already detained and transported to La Paz Jorge Valda, the attorney who represents the Santa Cruz Civic Committee, replicating other cases of "terrorism" manipulated by Evo Morales and his regime.

Nintendo Planning Data Transfer System For Switch Lite
Your saves and games will be safe.
By Matt Purslow
Nintendo has plans to introduce a data transfer system to allow you to move your games and saves from a Nintendo Switch to the new Nintendo Switch Lite.
Talking to CNET, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser said "Yes, you will have the ability to transfer between devices, your gameplay experiences."
Bowser offered no details on what kind of system Nintendo has planned or how it will work, but said that there is, "More to come there, but that is the intention."
Nintendo's history of transfers is spotty to say the least, but this promise gives hope that the company has put thought into the idea of people changing from Switch to Switch Light, or even owning both consoles at the same time.
For more, check out the details of the newly announced Nintendo Switch Lite, and the Pokemon Sword and Shield Special Edition Nintendo Switch Lite that was announced at the same time.

Inflatable solution finds favour at Special Olympics
BLOW UP: Packaworld sold 25 of inflatable bocce courts to be used at Asia Pacific Special Olympics.
A Wellington businessman is hoping his revolutionary product for the sport of bocce, world sport's third most participated game, will get the ball rolling on his range of inflatable sports equipment.
Packaworld, a provider of a range of blow-up sporting goods, has recently secured a contract which will see its specially designed inflatable bocce courts used at this year's Asia Pacific Special Olympics.
Bocce is an Italian sport similar to bowls or petanque, and in 2011 about 217,000 Special Olympics athletes participated in bocce events around the world.
Roberts was excited by the potential reach his product could gain from the tournament, as over 300 bocce athletes from 32 different countries would be competing at the tournament.
"Word has started to get around the Special Olympics community about this new product as it addresses a major problem that the bocce community face - availability, portability and the set up of bocce courts."
The frame can be inflated in just over seven minutes, and once deflated can be stored in a bag.
"It's an opportunity now, in December I've got 32 countries coming to use them which I can then distribute to."
Special Olympics New Zealand sports and coaching director Mike Ryan said the national bocce tournament required the shipping of a 60-foot container full of wooden planks.
The new product ticked all the boxes for the sport in terms of storage, ease of assembly, and the game itself, he said.
"It's a helluva lot easier shipping these things than a whole lot of planks.
"One of the biggest challenges that bocce as a sport has is traditionally the weight has been a real issue around storage and the manhandling of the walls that are up around the bocce court."
He said bocce was the fastest growing sport within the Special Olympics.
"We now see this as something that will maybe open a few doors and maybe people will think about taking up the sport of bocce because you've taken away one of the main barriers."
Roberts first began importing the inflatable sports equipment from a Chinese manufacturer, though early products were mainly football goals.
A variety of football academies, schools and clubs had since started using the goals and the product range had expanded to include miniature rugby posts and water polo goals.
He had used the same technology to develop the bocce prototype, with the product made in China.
Roberts had also recently developed inflatable advertising hoardings which could improve safety.
The inflatable A-frame signs were interchangeable with lycra sleeves which could be fitted over the top of the frame.
"If you Google accidents with hoardings you will see some horrific injuries. People have come to me, especially recently where there's been a few incidents with people running into signage systems and stuff, and they're really keen."

Below are some troubleshooting tips, and current limitations of the integration with SmartVault. Over time, some of these limitations will get lifted and this article will get updated.
I have multiple SmartVault accounts - Method wants to authenticate to the wrong one, why?
When you first setup your connection between Method and SmartVault, the connection will be made with the SmartVault account you are currently signed into. If you are not signed into SmartVault, it will ask you to sign in. Once that first connection is made, it will be used going forward until you re-authorize. So, if you want to use a different SmartVault account, go to my.smartvault.com, sign out, and then try your authorization from Method again.
I deleted a document in SmartVault, but it didn't delete from Method, why?
Currently, the integration is not a bidirectional sync - only when files are uploaded in Method or SmartVault they are synced to each other. Deletions are not detected. If you delete a document in SmartVault, and try to view it from Method, you'll get a file not found error, but you will still see the link to the document in Method until you delete it here too.
I deleted a document in Method, but it didn't delete in SmartVault, why?
Currently, deleting a document in Method does not delete it from SmartVault. You'll have to delete it in SmartVault as well.
I replaced a document in Method with a file of a different name, why do I now have two documents in SmartVault?
When you overwrite a document in Method with a new file of the same name, Method attempts to overwrite that document in SmartVault as well. However, if you overwrite a document in Method with a file of a different name, SmartVault will still have the old document, as well as the new document.
I replaced a document in Method that was linked to multiple customers. Only one of the customers in SmartVault has the new document. Why?
When you upload a document to Method, and link it to a customer, the document will get moved in SmartVault from the Method Documents folder to the folder for that customer. Method remembers the SmartVault location for that document. However, if you link the same record in Method's DocumentLibrary table to a different customer, the file will be copied to that customer's folder in SmartVault, but Method will still only keep a reference of that document to the original customer. So when you replace the document with a new one, Method only knows to replace the original document, and not for all the subsequent customers the document was linked to. This is because Method's data structure is different from SmartVault's - Method has a one-to-many relationship between documents and customers, whereas SmartVault has a one-to-one relationship. If this becomes a problem for you, we recommend uploading a document multiple times in Method, one for each customer you want to link it to.
I created a new attachment field in my customer table, and uploaded a document to a customer. Why doesn't this show up for that customer in SmartVault?
Only documents synced to the DocumentLibrary table and linked to the customer via DocumentLibraryLink will be synced to the appropriate customer (or other supported object) in SmartVault. Documents uploaded to other tables, such as the Customer table, will only go to the Method Documents folder in SmartVault. Why? We made the decision to reduce the overhead of the sync engine in situations where there are non-converted leads or waiting for sync approval transactions.
I have documents that are in SmartVault but not assigned to any customer, transaction or other QuickBooks object. How do I see these documents in Method?
Currently, the only existing SmartVault documents Method syncs with are the ones assigned to customers, transactions, or other supported objects. There is no way to see other documents in Method.
I have my Method account setup with a SmartVault and assigned to a vault in one account. If I open a new SmartVault account, can I simply move the vault from one account to another?
Currently, there is no way to move a vault from one account to another and keep the existing links working correctly in your Method account.

Vallbufandes I es un abrigo que tiene pinturas rupestres de estilo levantino. Está situado en el término municipal de Mequinenza (Aragón), en España. Se encuentra localizado en un afloramiento rocoso de arenisca oligocena en la desembocadura del barranco de Vallbufandes, en su margen izquierda, muy cerca de la orilla del río Segre (a unos 300-400 metros). Dicho afloramiento se sitúa en la zona más alta de las laderas del barranco, donde el mismo alcanza un grosor de unos dos metros. La zona en cuestión se encuentra en el extremo Norte de la localidad de Mequinenza, junto a su casco urbano.
El conjunto está compuesto por un diminuto abrigo formado por una serie de grandes losas de arenisca fracturadas del afloramiento rocoso de la ladera del barranco, con una orientación general al S.-S.O. Dada la situación del barranco, su visibilidad se ve muy limitada, quedando libres solamente hacia el E. y S.E. Las dimensiones del abrigo son 1,60 metros de altura máxima y 1,50 de anchura máxima. El entorno del abrigo se encuentra muy degradado por las explotaciones mineras, así como por la propia cercanía del pueblo nuevo de Mequinenza.

El abrigo está incluido dentro de la relación de cuevas y abrigos con manifestaciones de arte rupestre considerados Bienes de Interés Cultural en virtud de lo dispuesto en la disposición adicional segunda de la Ley 3/1999, de 10 de marzo, del Patrimonio Cultural Aragonés. Este listado fue publicado en el Boletín Oficial de Aragón del día 27 de marzo de 2002. Forma parte del conjunto del arte rupestre del arco mediterráneo de la península ibérica, que fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco (ref. 874-665). También fue declarado Bien de Interés Cultural con el código RI-51-0009509.

Big win For Sharks I against Guru in overtime
After a long layoff the Sharks were back in action against rivals Guru Nanak. The Sharks arrived early as they were looking forward to getting back onto the court and continue our push towards the title. The Sharks started the game off in a decent fashion but it was clear that the Sharks needed to shake off some rust as execution on both sides of the floor was not as sharp as we would have liked.
As halftime was approaching the Sharks were beginning to implode both on and off the court as the execution of our game plan wasn't happening and Guru were hitting most of their open shots. This led to the same old story for the Sharks as players had lost focus, began to take 1 on 1 battles and forgot that we play best as a team when the ball moves around.
Halftime struck and the Sharks were still hanging on to a 4 point lead but our heads had gone. A change in defensive strategy was discussed at half time but the frustration and lack of focus carried on and the 3rd quarter was one way action with Guru rolling and scoring 31 points to our 17. All looked lost going into the 4th quarter for the Sharks and Guru was on track for a victory.
In the 4th the Sharks decided to wake up and started to play high intensity basketball on both ends of the court which led to a dramatic comeback with the Sharks hitting a few late 3's and Guru missing crucial free throws. Guru had a chance to win the game at the end of regulation but Sharks stepped up the defence and the game headed into overtime.
The Sharks carried on their momentum and Guru looked down and out but a 4 point play brought Guru right back into the game but there were unable to carry on from that point and the Sharks secured the victory.
A good fight back from the Sharks but the lesson to be learnt is we need to play hard and as a team for the whole match.
Next fixture versus Bromley at home where the Sharks will look to avenge their first loss of the season.
Final Score : 107 - 102
Sharks Scorers : Maher 21, Schreiber 20, Andrzejewski 17, Kraft 17, Braknys 15, Long 12, Demmon 4, Fraser 1

More than ever, fashion's biggest names are flocking to Chicago—and upping our sartorial cachet.
Take a stroll down one of Chicago's shopping thoroughfares, and you'll spot more than enticing window displays and the well-heeled carrying home their latest purchase. They may not be much to look at, but the scaffolding and temporary facades covering much of Michigan Avenue and Rush, Oak and Walton Streets herald an undeniable truth: Luxury retail is thriving.
The past two years have seen a flurry of high-end brands setting up shop in Chicago, with many giving prominence to their men's offerings. Notable additions include Christian Louboutin (58 E. Oak St.), which opened last November with a floor dedicated to its coveted line of men's sneakers and studded loafers, and Lanvin (116 E. Oak St.), complete with a broad assortment of menswear and accessories. Barbour (54 E. Walton St.) and Ike Behar (67 E. Oak St.) have also opened stores, while the long-awaited Tom Ford (66 E. Oak St.) emporium is scheduled for an unveiling. But the city's biggest fashion coup was last November's opening of Burberry's new five-story, 16,800-square-foot flagship at 633 N. Michigan Ave., now the second largest Burberry store in the country.
The trend shows no sign of slowing. In July, Salvatore Ferragamo (645 N. Michigan Ave.) expanded its footprint in Chicago by adding an additional level to its boutique. The new store features the lauded brand's entire range of men's and women's ready-to-wear, shoes, bags, silks and fragrances, as well as the new Su Misura made-to-measure program of custom suiting and shirting. Working with Ferragamo's expert staff, men can choose from hundreds of fabrics and dozens of design details—think horn, metal or mother-of-pearl buttons or your choice of eight shirt collar options—before their selections and measurements are sent to Italy to be constructed by the brand's master artisans.
Ermenegildo Zegna (645 N. Michigan Ave.) pulled out all the stops when it also expanded to a second story. Inspired by the company's heritage as one of the world's leading suppliers of fine fabrics, the boutique's exterior and interior design elements invoke the woven threads of a super 120. Inside, you'll find the full range of Ermenegildo Zegna and Zegna Sport collections housed in a 4,300-square-foot environment of rosewood, mahogany and bronze. The boutique is one of three in the U.S. to offer Stefano Pilati's Couture collection and the Personalization Project, a new made-to-order program for clothing and accessories.
This fall will see the arrival of even more top fashion names, most notably the return of Saint Laurent (11 E. Walton St.), which closed its Oak Street boutique in 2010. Representing Team Italy will be Dolce & Gabbana (at a yet-to-be-determined address next to Tom Ford) and Brioni (12 E. Walton St.).
Freestanding stores aren't the only ones making new investments. Neiman Marcus (737 N. Michigan Ave.) recently revamped its Man's Store with 11 designer shop-in-shops from the likes of Isaia, Kiton and Ralph Lauren Black Label. The new department is also the city's sole source for Stefano Ricci's line of swank apparel—crocodile bomber jacket, anyone?—and accessories.
Saks Fifth Avenue is following suit, and next year will open a new two-story men's department inside its 700 N. Michigan Ave. flagship.
With all these exciting developments, we can't help but think of the old expression, "If you build it, they will come." And from the looks of things, they'll be sharply dressed.

Don Jazzy, Mavin Records boss, says he is "working on something" to help Nigerian songwriters make "make more money than most artistes".
The music producer said the Nigerian music industry has too many artistes and is in dire need of songwriters.
Don Jazzy, in a series of tweets, explained that "not all of us will blow" as artistes, stressing that there is an opportunity for songwriters to shine in the industry.
Then continued: "Not all of us will blow as artists. Maybe u haven't blown cos u think you have what it takes to be an artist. When you could be a mega songwriter.
"I am working on something. And when I'm done I can guarantee some of you will make more money than most artists just being a dope songwriter.
"Writers try to be artists cos they feel there is no money in writing and that's also cos most artists are too stingy to share earnings. Also cos some artists think it takes away from their shine if they don't write their own songs.
"Artists need to understand that we respect their own craft as an artist/performer and we don't care if they wrote their songs or not.

The Memorial Club apartment complex at the Westcott St. roundabout is down to its final quarter following weekend deconstruction activity that left the 4-building, not-yet-redeveloped half of the complex itself cut in half. (Across the street, a 5-builidng portion of Memorial Club has been missing since new apartments dubbed Elan Memorial Park replaced it in 2016) By Saturday morning, the whole southern section of Memorial Club's remaining half was gone according to a Swamplot reader, who sends the photo at top looking west to show that vanished portion, visible behind the oak trees.
Greystar, the owner of both Elan Memorial Park and the Memorial Club Apartments, plans to replace the latter with 258 new units once the demo is complete.

Compare and Contrast Essay Tips From a Kibin Editor
Erin H. has been one of Kibin's favorite editors since August 2013. I had a chance to ask her for her best compare and contrast essay tips. Here's what she had to say.
In Simple Terms, What Is a Compare and Contrast Essay?
A compare and contrast essay, at its heart, describes how two things are similar and how they are different to make a larger point about one or both of the subjects of comparison.
We humans love to compare things. We read articles comparing technical specifications to help us decide between an Apple phone and an Android one. We compare the stances of political candidates to help us make sound voting decisions. We also compare seemingly unrelated things, people, or ideas — like literary characters or the genomes of spiders and humans — to deepen our understanding of those subjects or to see them in a new light.
And sometimes, like New York Times contributor Eric Spitznagel, we do it for a laugh.
Compare and Contrast Essay Tips: What Makes a Good Essay?
Stuck on Your Essay?
Check Out These Example Compare and Contrast Essays
Yes! Show me examples.
A great compare and contrast essay paints its subjects in a fresh light, telling the readers something they didn't already know or had never considered before. There is nothing better than a delightful juxtaposition of two things that seem like polar opposites; this writer once wrote compare and contrast essays about nuns and prostitutes and Walt Disney and Hugh Hefner!
That said, a good compare and contrast essay doesn't have to be shocking to be interesting and engaging. Great compare and contrast essays might help readers make a decision, facilitate a new understanding of two subjects, or nominate a "winner" between two subjects — but at their heart, the best essays of this genre always say something fresh and are driven by a clear purpose.
Compare and Contrast Essay Tips: What Makes a Bad Essay?
A bad compare and contrast essay has no clear purpose — that is, it describes the similarities and differences without making a larger point about the subjects being compared and contrasted. In fact, I often see writers fall into the "easy thesis" trap with these essays. Say we're comparing electric vehicles and biodiesel vehicles. Writing the thesis is easy, right?
Electric vehicles and biodiesel vehicles share many similarities, but they also have several differences.
While electric vehicles and biodiesel vehicles seem to be very different, they are actually quite similar in some ways.
BOOM. Easy. Dust those hands off. You're done, right? Nope.
Image by Evan-Amos (Creative Commons)
Each states that the two subjects are both alike and different, but….so what? Why does it matter? Without making any meaningful statement about the significance of their similarities and differences, why write the essay at all? You could literally copy and paste any two subjects into those thesis statements, which ultimately means they are way too bland.
A better thesis says why those similarities and differences matter. Maintaining the electric vs. biodiesel vehicles theme, let's look at some better thesis examples:
While biodiesel and electric vehicles use radically different energy sources to operate, they both offer a viable alternative to fossil-fuel-guzzling vehicles that dominate the auto market.
Biodiesel and electric vehicles both offer environmental benefits compared to cars that run on gasoline, but their differences in consumer appeal and ease of refueling makes it unclear which will dominate the market in the coming decades.
While biodiesel and electric vehicles are similar in terms of their environmental benefits and costs, the ease of refueling biodiesel cars compared to recharging electric cars makes biodiesel king in the battle between greener automobiles.
These thesis statements approach the topic in three different ways:
1.) By arguing that both are equally viable
2.) By highlighting their differences and the uncertainty of the future market
3.) By picking a "winner" between the two topics
However, they all make an argument that you will support through comparing and contrasting the two subjects in the essay.
What Are 3 Simple Compare and Contrast Essay Tips?
1. Determine whether you should compare, contrast, or both.
Pay careful attention to writing prompts and instructions for compare and contrast essays. Some essays require you to compare and contrast your subjects, while other assignments instruct you to compare or contrast. Other times, comparing and contrasting two or more subjects is merely a portion of a larger essay assignment.
2. Identify MEANINGFUL points of comparison.
When comparing and contrasting two subjects, it's important to focus on meaningful points of comparison (and contrast).
For instance, if your instructor asks you to compare and contrast two books you read in a literature class, noting that both books were published in Times New Roman font is probably not a meaningful point of comparison. Comparing and contrasting the characters, plots, settings, literary devices, and other literary elements is a much more sound strategy.
Graphic organizers lend themselves well to organizing points of comparison and contrast during the brainstorming phase.
The good old Venn diagram is a simple way of organizing your ideas. Simply grab a blank sheet of paper, and draw two large circles that overlap in the middle. Label one of the circles for your first subject, one of the circles for the second subject. Points of contrast, or differences, go in the main section of the circles. When you identify something that the subjects have in common, you list it in the middle, where the circles overlap. If you prefer a digital approach, try this handy Venn diagram generator.
A compare/contrast chart is another great way to list and organize your ideas. Check out this example that compares the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings series.
3. Pick a sound organizational strategy.
There are two primary ways to organize a compare and contrast essay.
The first is the block structure, in which you describe the qualities of one subject in one body paragraph and the qualities of the second subject in another body paragraph.
The second organizational strategy is the point-by-point comparison, in which each body paragraph focuses on a similarity or difference and includes discussion of both subjects. Check out these helpful outlines and tips for helping you choose the best organizational strategy for your topic and argument as well as short examples of essays organized using each strategy.
What Is Your Biggest Writing Pet Peeve?
One of my biggest peeves as an editor is a lack of transitions in writing. Transitions are the glue that holds an essay together. Transitions make all the difference between an essay that flows logically and one that seems disjointed and awkward, even if the core ideas are the same. Transitions are essential in compare and contrast essays. There are entire sets of transitions designed especially for comparing and contrasting. Use transitions well. Your readers will be grateful for the signposts that guide them through your writing.
Oops, something's missing. Let's try that again, now with more transitions:
One of my biggest peeves is a lack of transitions in writing. As our own Naomi points out, transitions are the glue that hold an essay together, and they can make all the difference between an essay that flows logically and one that seems disjointed and awkward, even if the core ideas are the same. For this reason, transitions are essential in compare and contrast essays, and in fact, there are entire sets of transitions designed especially for comparing and contrasting. If you use them well, your readers will be grateful for the signposts that guide them through your writing.

For the first time in many years my heart ached in a way I had not experienced for some time. It felt raw all over again. I felt his loss all over again. You can never truly get over something like this. It changes you forever.
A part of me lays buried in a cemetary. His body is most certainly dust now.
For years I masked over the pain by pursuing other things to distract me from that which I could not explain and didn't want to face. Now it seems I am no longer able to run.
Lord, I lay this pain at Your feet. Only You can heal my deepest hurts and fulfil my deepest yearnings. Have Your way.
I can't quite believe that this moment has come. I remember when I had three little bubba's under the age of 4 and the possibility of having spare time or free arms was a long, long, long way off…..and now here it is. Right there before me.
They are so fun and independent, of course it is still hard work, but it is also getting so much easier in so many ways. They are my little companions and I love watching them grow into the wonderful little humans they are becoming.
My prayer is that God will give me the strength, courage and wisdom to guide them into being all that He has called them to be. They are my heartbeats, my world and besides my salvation they are the greatest gifts The Lord has given me.
The greatest gift I could ever give them is to lead them into an everlasting relationship and friendship with my Lord and personal Saviour King Jesus. His way is perfect and a life lived through Him, although not a bed of roses, is a life filled with a peace that passes all understanding. I want my children to understand the ways of The Lord and His promises. I want my children to be able to speak His word over their lives and into their circumstances. I want my children to understand that prayer is powerful and it changes things. Have Your way Father.
I think I've reached the point in my life where I'm really learning how to give my frustrations to God.
I'm a person who continuously strives to do, do and do, because I do not like to stand still, especially when I know I'm far from where I want to be.
God is so merciful, because He knows my personality, He knows precisely what I am like, and so He covers me in my shortcomings. His grace truly is sufficient.
What I'm trying to say is, that sometimes, I'm just so distracted, so confused, so forlorn, that the only thing I can do is to keep moving. I'll try this idea or that approach and The Lord graces me. He can see I'm trying to do the best for my children and I and sometimes I get so weary, that I don't feel like praying and waiting for an answer or reading my bible or watching a sermon, and I find myself doing things in my own strength, like endlessly searching the property pages and online job boards, searching for inspiration in blogs or burying myself in the daily news…..The Lord knows I struggle with this walk and yet He covers and directs me.
When I stumble into territory He doesn't want me to be in, He swiftly shuts the door or makes my plans fall apart. Over the past year wrecked plans have been frequent and it would anger, frustrate, confuse and upset me, but now I am starting to 'get it'. I am His child and He loves me so much that He gives me the space to step out in faith and pursue my ambitions, yet at the same time He swiftly corrects me if those steps are in the wrong direction.
He is indeed my protector, my strong Tower, I will forever run to Him and be safe. Glory to His name forever!
I work in education and so it's back to work tomorrow after a six week summer break.
I thought I'd find six weeks at home hard. I thought I'd be bored, I thought my children would have me running for the hills….
Truth be known I've loved it. Every minute of it. I've been able to rest and recuperate, spend quality time with my bubba's and do lots of fun and meaningful things with them.
The Lord really knows what you need, when you need it and He knows my children need their Momma and I need them.
I'm learning to really appreciate the seasons The Lord places me in. There is so much to learn from each individual stage that crops up in life…..
As summer draws to a close and the new school year stands before me, I hold my head high and confidently stride forward, excited for the journey that lies ahead.

Most people (even those who say they don't like curry) will enjoy this dish. I've made it many times (for my own parties and when catering) and it never fails to please. It's adapted from Nicole Routhier's book, The Foods of Vietnam, one of my favorite and most used cookbooks. The original recipe calls for one whole chicken (on the bone) cut into pieces. I prefer to use boneless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces, which I think makes it a little easier to handle if serving on a buffet or at a dinner party (and it doesn't require a knife). The method is not complicated, but it does require time. Fortunately it can be prepped ahead of time, cooled, covered tightly and stored in the refrigerator until party/dinner time. It does freeze ok, but it does change the texture a bit so I would avoid that if possible.
As always read the entire recipe and check for ingredients before proceeding!
For experienced cooks – these instructions may be a little too detailed, but I want to make it as clear as I can for those who are newer to the kitchen.
*I used 8 pieces of boneless chicken breast which served 10 adults for dinner and we had leftovers for 3 more dinners for us. I recommend using chicken with no hormones or antibiotics if possible. Telling the truth: we had this four (4) dinners in a row, including the party. It's one of those things that just gets better and after 4, we were sad to see it go!
Combine lemon grass, small onion, minced garlic, curry paste, curry powder and nuoc man in blender and process until it is smooth.
Trim the chicken and cut into bite sized pieces.
Mix with curry paste. If not cooking immediately, cover and store in refrigerator.
Peel carrots and cut into disks.
Peel potatoes and cut into bite-sized pieces, place in cold water so they don't begin to discolor.
Since the carrots and potatoes are both hard vegetables, they will be precooked to tender before adding to the curry. You can blanche or saute them. I blanched the carrots and sautéed the potatoes (to brown them and cook off some of the moisture), but either method is fine. If you blanche, bring a pot of water to a boil, add a 1-2 teaspoons salt. Drop carrots into boiling water and cook 3-4 minutes until you can pierce them with a fork or a bamboo skewer. Remove with slotted spoon and drop into cold water to stop cooking (this will also result in a nice bright orange color). Drain well before added to curry. Repeat with potatoes if you like.
Add potatoes and carrots to pan with browned chicken pieces.
Heat a heavy bottomed saute pan to medium-high. When the pan is hot, add a small amount of oil (I use olive oil) and add part of chicken to the pan. Do not crowd the pan or the chicken will not brown properly. Let the chicken cook 6-8 minutes until all sides are nicely browned and chicken is just cooked – do not overcook as you will be baking in the oven at the end of the process. Note: The curry paste will likely stick to the bottom of the pan during this browning process and you want to be careful to prevent it from burning, but you want to keep the browned bits because there's lots of flavor there. So…keep some of the chicken broth handy while you are sautéing. When you remove browned chicken, add a little of the chicken stock, it will simmer and loosen the bits. Scrape stock and bits into container on the side, to be added back to the sauce later.
As batches are finished, remove them to a roasting pan or casserole dish large enough and deep enough to hold all the chicken, vegetables and sauce.
Continue browning chicken until all is brown!
If you are going to saute your potatoes, drain them well. Remove all curry paste/bits from the pan, return to medium high heat, add a little olive oil and add some of the potatoes to the pan (again, do not overcrowd the pan). Cook in batches until all are tender. Add to pan with browned chicken.
In the same pan, heat a little more oil and add the onions. Saute til tender.
Add chicken broth (including that with the browned bits!), and the coconut milk. Bring to a simmer for a few minutes. Check for seasoning (it may need a little salt and pepper but taste first).
Pour Sauce over the chicken, carrots, potatoes.
If you are not completing the curry immediately, let it cool completely to store safely, cover with foil and refrigerate until you are ready to complete cooking and serve.
Now the hardest part is finished. When you are ready to serve, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place covered pan in oven. It will probably take 1 hour (give or take, depending on the size of the pan and your oven) to heat the dish completely and ensure doneness. During the hour, remove the pan and give it a stir to ensure that it is heating evenly. It it's completely finished and you're not ready to serve it , just remove from the oven, it can sit for 20 minutes or so and remain hot until you're ready.
Serve with rice – yumyumgood.


« Should the Clowns at the United Nations Be Given Power to Regulate the Internet?!?
While I don't like political correctness and I personally boycott stores that advertise "holiday" sales rather than "Christmas" sales, I certainly don't see the "War against Christmas" as a meaningful public policy issue.
But I do appreciate clever humor, so this Jay Leno joke is worth sharing.
Hello!!! Christmas Days Shopping Super Save 600,000+ Results Now!!!
Three cheers and a tiger for you! The road back to sanity starts with convictions such as this.
As for my part: I'm straight, and my religious beliefs tell me that I would be committing a sin if I were to engage in homosexual acts. However, I have no problem with gay people serving openly in the armed forces or getting married.
The War on Christmas probably isn't an important public policy issue, but that's partly because it's been beaten back.
"inclusive" should not mean denigrating or subsuming the majorities holidays. It should mean allowing all people to embrace other cultural holidays.
Hanukkah was not a major religious festival among Jews until recent times. I love the holiday myself, but let's not change history.
I don't hear much national clamor among the Happy Holidays preferers to go to work Christmas Day, BTW. Perhaps it would be clarifying for everyone if everyone got Arbor Day off and Christians had to use annual leave to celebrate Christmas. That would rather separate the wheat from the chaff, wouldn't it?
Hanukkah is not historically one of the more important Jewish holidays. It's importance has been elevated so as make people like yourself feel more multicultural.

If you really wanted to be inclusive you should say Happy Holy Days. Not Holidays. That would make it clear that you were referring to days of special religious meaning and not just celebrating a time of commercial over indulgence.
Let's be fair, this is not just a Christmas season, there's Hanukkah (a holiday that Christians should support too, since there can be no doubt that Christ did).
So "Holiday Sale" is not just a sop to political correctness, it's a recognition of the other major religious holiday that takes place in December.

A resume is a resume, right? But then, what are all these different types of resumes you keep hearing about? If you are confused and not quite sure what is being referred to when you hear all these different names for resumes, you are certainly not alone!
Over the past decade, the most common resume-related questions asked by job hunters have progressively shifted. While still of major importance, the majority of queries are no longer about functional versus chronological resume styles, whether to keep or remove experience from twenty-five years ago, or whether to include dates of education. With the advent and subsequent explosive increase in the use of the Internet during the job search, questions have turned overwhelmingly to issues of electronic resume creation and transmission.
What are the different types of electronic resumes?
What are the differences between an e-mail resume, a scannable resume, and a web resume?
How do I know which resume format to use?
How do I format my electronic resume to ensure that the recipient can read it?
No wonder there is so much confusion! In just a few short years, there has been a complete revolution in the tools and techniques of job hunting. As applicant tracking technologies have come into common use among headhunter firms, large corporations, and even mid-size and small businesses, recommended resume formats and methods of transmission have rapidly evolved with the advancing technologies. Further complicating things, have been the increasing availability of personal web space for online resume portfolios and biographies.
What does this mean for today's job hunter? While the Internet has opened unprecedented doors of opportunity in the job search process, for those who have not taken the time to learn and apply the rules it can mean disaster!
While few job hunters have time to spend months studying the most recent technologies and recommendations for the creation of electronic resumes, before venturing onto the Internet with your resume it is critical that you take the time to learn and understand a few simple concepts. Knowing your audience and the formats most acceptable by those audiences are essential pieces of knowledge for the Internet job hunter.
The human reader – The traditional, printed, hard copy resume (yes, it does still have a primary place in job hunting!) is created to attract the human eye and attention. With the advantages of word processing applications, sophisticated formatting is possible and should be applied strategically to create eye-appeal and draw the readers' attention to key qualifications.
The computer reader – The electronic or computer-optimized resume is designed, first and foremost, to be readable by the computer. There are several types of electronic resumes, but the common element of all is the ability to be searched by keyword. Of course, once your resume has been tagged as matching a keyword search, it will be reviewed by a human. So compelling, easy-to-read content is just as important in the electronic resume as in the traditional resume.
Miss these points and the effects could be devastating…you might send out hundreds of resumes only to sit at home and wonder why nobody, not even one company or headhunter, has called you for an interview. There are fundamental formatting differences between traditional and electronic resumes. If you do not understand these differences, your resume will make it into very few – if any – resume databases.
What are the differences between keyword, scannable, web, traditional, and text resumes?
Traditional resumes are designed, as already noted, to compel the human reader, through persuasive language and design, to take further action and call you for an interview. Layout and page design are critical and should be planned strategically to draw the eye to areas of emphasis. The most effective traditional resumes are focused on achievements and written in powerful, active language that captures and holds the attention of the reader.
Scannable resumes — also a printed, hardcopy format — are designed primarily for accurate scanning into a computer. Captured as an image, scannable resumes are fed through OCR (optical character recognition) software that reads and extracts the text. The extracted text is databased for storage and later recalled by keyword from an applicant tracking system. Scannable resumes are very rarely requested any more. If you are asked for a scannable resume, the most efficient option is to email the requestor your plain ASCII text resume (described next).
Text resumes (also referred to as ASCII resumes) are just what the name implies, an ASCII-formatted version of either your traditional or scannable resume. Text resumes are universally readable on all computer systems and platforms and are the preferred format when you are emailing your resume. An ASCII resume received in email can be entered directly into an applicant tracking system without the added step of needing to scan it. Entry into the system is fast, easy, and accurate and so many employers and recruiters prefer this format.
The phrase "keyword resume," as it was first used, referred most often to either a scannable or text resume that incorporated a focus on nouns and phrases that employers were likely to use when searching for an applicant. Sometimes the keyword resume had a section at the beginning or end that listed the keywords separated by commas or periods. Today, there is no need to maintain both a keyword and a non-keyword resume. Keywords have become such an essential element in resumes that you should ensure that every version of your resume, whether meant for the human or the computer reader, incorporates the keywords most important in your field or industry.
Traditional resume – If you wish to send a hardcopy, paper version of your resume you should send your traditional resume. Traditional resumes are most often stored on your computer as a computer file and printed on an as-needed basis. For example, you will want to print at least several copies of your resume to carry with you and hand out at interviews. You may also be asked to send your traditional resume via email to a recruiter or employer. In these cases, you should have your traditional resume saved in the two most commonly asked for file formats: MS Word and Adobe PDF. You can then attach the requested file or files to an email message and send it to the requestor to be printed on the receiving end.
By far, you'll find that the most requested format for your traditional resume is MS Word. If you comply with the request, be aware that your formatting may be incompatible with the recipient's system. While usually still readable, fonts and bullet sizes and styles may be different from what you intended. These problems can be minimized, although not always eliminated, by embedding the fonts into the document. This is a simple process, and the MS Word help files will guide you through it. You should also take care, while writing and designing your resume, to use design elements that are default and standard on most systems. For example, it is not wise to use a fancy, custom font on your resume that you know will be emailed. Default fonts such as Garamond, Helvetica, Book Antiqua, or Verdana are better choices.
To eliminate issues with compatibility, if the recipient has the free Adobe Reader installed, Adobe PDF is the best format in which to send your traditional resume. The PDF version of your resume will appear on the recipient's system precisely the way it appeared on your system. For this reason, if given the choice of sending an MS Word file and Adobe PDF file, always opt for Adobe PDF. However, many recruiters and employers still prefer the MS Word file format, because this is the format they are most familiar with.
ASCII text resume – If you conduct any portion of your job search on the Internet, ASCII-formatted resumes are critically important tools. Always have an up-to-date ASCII text version of your resume on your computer. This is the fastest way to contact potential employers and to apply for jobs advertised online. You must also have a text version of your resume if you wish to post in online resume databanks.
As previously noted, employers rarely request scannable resumes anymore. If they utilize an applicant tracking system, they will likely request that your resume be e-mailed, either as ASCII text or as an attachment. E-mail allows the recipient to enter your resume directly into the database, eliminating the extra steps of scanning and OCR.
How do you use these file formats and transit them to recipients via email? My recommendation is to actually attach the MS Word or Adobe PDF file to the email in its native file format. Then, ALSO copy and paste the text of your ASCII text resume into the body of your email (where you would normally type a message), along with a letter of introduction or other note explaining why you are sending the resume.
A final type of electronic resume is the web resume, also known as the online resume. Created using HTML, your web resume may be uploaded to space provided by a web-hosting provider. Eliminating the compatibility problems associated with word-processed resumes sent as e-mail attachments, web resumes offer the advantage of maintaining layout and design on the systems of anyone with a web browser. Available for viewing around the clock, conveying a technology-savvy image, and allowing the ability to add supporting content to your resume (effectively creating an online portfolio promoting your qualifications), web resumes are becoming a progressively important tool in the job search. The creation of a web resume or resume portfolio is far beyond the scope of this article, but if web resumes are an electronic format that interest you, be aware that many service providers have begun offering web resume design and hosting at affordable prices.
What do I need to know about writing keyword resumes?
Remember – it is absolutely essential that you create resume content that is keyword rich regardless of the file format. It is not necessary that you maintain a separate keyword version of your resume. ALL resumes must include a heavy emphasis on keywords. Keywords are generally defined as nouns or phrases that an employer will use when searching for an applicant with your skill set. To maximize the recall of your resume in a search, you will want to use as many keywords in your resume as possible.
1. Keywords should focus on technical and professional areas of expertise, industry-related jargon, and your work history. Also, include the names of associations and organizations of which you are a member.
2. Whenever possible, use synonyms of keywords in different parts of your resume and if you use initials for a term in one section, spell the term out in another.
3. Always be specific. For example, while it may be fine to include the phrase "computer literate," you will also want to list the specific software that you are proficient in using.
This is one of the most common areas of confusion, so I'll state it once again…the content of a keyword resume does not need to differ from the content of your traditional resume. With careful attention to rhythm and flow, it is possible to prepare a resume that is keyword optimized, but that also includes the powerful, compelling, active language of a traditional resume. Not only will this simplify your resume preparation, but it will ensure that the content of all versions of your resume will be optimized for both the computer and the human reader. Furthermore, if you incorporate a professional summary and bulleted list of qualifications in the text of your resume, there is little if any need to prepare a separate keyword summary.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to recommend a specific list of the best keywords to use in your resume, as the "best" keywords are different for every individual and depend mainly on your unique career objective and background. What is certain, however, is that a well-prepared keyword resume is so critical to your success in a job market that largely relies on electronic applicant tracking systems, if you have any doubts at all you should consult with a professional resume writer.
How do I prepare an ASCII text version of my resume?
2. Close your word processing program and re-open the ASCII file. You will not be able to see your changes until you have done this. Note that it has been stripped of virtually all original formatting.
3. Go through your new ASCII document line-by-line. Align all text flush to the left-hand margin.
4. Remove all "centering," "right hand margin," and "justification" alignments.
5. Although you should no longer see them, if visible, remove all graphics, artwork, and special character formatting.
6. Remove all tab characters.
8. Replace bullets with a simple ASCII asterisk (*).
9. Carefully check the spelling and the accuracy of your data.
10. If you wish, use ASCII characters to enhance the appearance of your resume. Asterisks, plus signs, or other keyboard characters can be used to create visual lines that separate sections of your resume and make it easier to read. The above steps convert your resume to ASCII without line breaks. When pasted into a web-based form or email message, your resume will automatically wrap to the size of the window.
Your new ASCII resume will be universally readable, no matter what computer system the recipient uses. It will also be easy to manipulate for entry into applicant tracking databases, eliminating the inherent difficulties of scanning and converting your paper resume with OCR systems.
There is no denying that the Internet has caused what was once a straightforward process to become complex and confusing to many job hunters. Yet, the benefits far outweigh the negatives. Like never before, as a job seeker you have immediate access to announcements and advertisements of openings around the globe. You have the ability to conduct detailed research on companies of interest. And you have unprecedented opportunity to cost effectively promote your qualifications to hundreds or even thousands of hiring authorities of just a tiny fraction of the cost of doing so through traditional methods. While the new skills you must learn may seem daunting at first, by understanding the concepts and creating your electronic resumes, you are well on your way to an efficient, effective Internet job search.
