Yelena Petrukhina registered for the SOPA program in February 2018. Back in Kazakhstan she worked as an Internship Coordinator at a local university. She arrived in Winnipeg, MB in May 2018 and 3 months later she landed her dream job!
Today Yelena is sharing her success story with us!
– Yelena, when and how did you hear about SOPA program and why did you decide to register?
– First I heard about the program in October 2017, when we had just submitted our documents for the FSW stream. Our friend, who was going to move to Halifax was doing the ISANS courses, and she said that all the provinces have something similar. I did the research and found out the information about SOPA. I considered it to be very valuable source of job search information, and what made it more necessary to accomplish is the fact that you can gain the knowledge and finalized resume prior to your landing.
-Could you please tell us which services you have received as part of the SOPA program?
I had an intake session on settlement and attended 1 course – Job Search Strategies.
-What knowledge and skills have you taken away from the Job Search Strategies course?
– First of all, I have learned how to determine what type of resume the job seeker needs to use for the particular position. It is very important to keep this information in mind. I have both chronological and functional resumes, and I had two interviews after I had sent both. Thanks to the course and my facilitator, I learned how to write the qualification skills, and job duties performed, as it requires certain knowledge as well. I received a good understanding of the interview process, developed my elevator pitch and had a chance to practice. What is good about SOPA is that you are not provided with the fish, you are provided with the fishing skills that will bring you the fish any time you need it.
-After you arrived to Canada, how have you implemented the new knowledge and skills for your job search?
First of all, I did the targeted resumes for each position I applied for. Second of all, I started to do networking, Finally, I started to volunteer. These three factors together helped me to get the job. Due to the professional targeted resume and networking, I managed to get the interview. My volunteer experience allowed me to get the necessary references.
-What challenges have you faced on your way to find a job in Canada?
-The first challenge is that the newcomer needs to do a lot of paper work after arrival. You need to set up official documents, register kids at school, find a family doctor, acquire the driving license, etc. At the same time you need to look for a job. The second challenge is adapting to the local culture. It is different in many aspects, even in the way you are standing in a line at the bus stop. And the third challenge is the lack of knowledge of the local job market.
-Where are you now in terms of your career?
When I was back to Kazakhstan, I thought that I will not get the same level of the job I have there. But now, I have similar position with the similar job duties. I am very happy that I managed to find this job, which is not the entry-level one. I hope that hardworking and continuous learning will help me to achieve career growth in the future.
-What advice would you give to pre-arrival immigrants?
I would advise people to use the time before arriving to Canada wisely. Do their best to take advantage of as many pre arrival services as they can, it will save their time when they are in Canada, and help them to be Job Ready right after the arrival.


Sometimes on a building project, you find yourself with fiddly little "dead spots", that are a bit of a pain to try and do anything with. On this build site, the owners were in that exact position. There was a long, narrow gap between the home and the shed, that needed a bit of a make over, without blowing a huge stack of cash on product.
As you can see, it was a bit of a scene of devastation! Thanks to Wayne Johnstone of Bushlandscaping, a plan to create a little tropical oasis here came together in just two days!
Wayne chose a combination of our Black Pebble and Adbri pavers to lay on top of the bare dirt area, in a design that bridges the buildings with each other, as well as the larger paved area at the front of the house. He then selected tropical plantings and a laser cut screen to dress the area and give it privacy and definition.
As you can see, the design itself is quite simple, but the product has been meticulously laid, giving the area a very upmarket look. Wayne selected materials that fit with the owner's outdoor furniture, fittings and the natural surrounds.
With a clever selection of plantings and product, any tricky spot in your garden can be transformed into something special.
Sandstone has become the hero of home garden design, where it traditionally was mostly found in large scale commercial designs. Happily it is more available now, and accessible to people with a broad range of tastes and budgets. At the moment, we have got absolutely LOADS of odds and sods of sandstone in the yard, and we would really like to clear it in time for our 10th birthday (which is coming up on the 15th of August).
Did you know that many sandstones have unique features according to their different colours?
2. Yellow sandstone is highly resilient to acidic water and salt, even salty ocean breezes. That is why you very commonly see it used in coastal settings.
4. Light grey, beige, cream and white sandstone are perforated with red or purple lines. This type of sandstone is often used for sculptures and statues due to it's beautiful and unique patterning and colours.
As we said, we have heaps of bits and bobs of sandstone in the yard at the moment, so please, drop by and take a look. There are some real gems amongst it all.
We have recently had a huge truck and dog load of 1" Hoop Pine bark delivered from one of our favourite local suppliers. This is a product that we really love, because it is such a terrifically easy product to work with, and it is so incredibly versatile. There are just so many places where it is the perfect choice to mulch garden beds.
As you can see, Hoop Pine bark has a deep brown colour and a thick, curly texture. It looks very rich and luxurious when applied to garden beds. Because of it's curly structure, Hoop Pine bark is renowned for its ability to cling on to sloping terrain, it's resistance to high winds, it's ability to absorb and retain moisture and it's longevity. All of these features give it extremely low maintenance properties. It is very popular for use on sloping sites and raised gardens, domestic gardens and high class resorts, office blocks, convention centres, new estates etc.
The product is so named because it is produced in strips approximately 1" wide. It is a by-product of the timber milling industry, where the pine timber is used for building and furniture making. The bark is waste product that has been converted into a very handy, usable garden material.
Generally, there is a small amount of Hoop fines mixed in to the bark, making it an ideal product to keep the weeds at bay, retain moisture and eventually break down and add precious nutrients to the soil. Happy days!
Installation should be to a depth of 100mm to 150mm. We have this fabulous product on special at the moment (even though it is generally not easy to get hold of - but like we said, we have a LOT of it in stock!). You can buy it here.
Mushroom compost is one of the best all 'rounder styles of mulch for gardeners. We love the fact that it is environmentally friendly, organic, makes use of recycled waste, and saves water. We have a mountain of this beautiful product in the yard at the moment. You can see the dense richness and texture of it - it's almost good enough to eat; like chocolate cake for your soil!
Incredibly, mushroom compost can store up to 70% of its own weight in water! It is a powerhouse product that also improves the transmission of water through the soil. It helps to keep the soil cooler in warmer weather, and increases soil resistance to both wind and water erosion. Just perfect really, as we are heading into August, which is typically one of the windier months of the year.
Mushroom compost is suitable for most flowering plants, trees and shrubs, vegetable gardens and herbs and establishing lawns.
However, it is not recommended for some native plants and acid-loving plants such as azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons. Also, be aware that it can make your fur babies sick if they eat it!
Right now, as we mentioned, we have an huge pile of mushroom compost in the yard at the moment, which we are selling for $50m3 (it's normally $59m3), while stocks last, some conditions apply. You can go ahead and order your mushroom compost here.
As you know, there are many, many types of mulch on the market today (in fact, we have lots of them!). Sometimes it is difficult to know what type of mulch is best suited to your needs.
Today, we are looking at Hardwood Chip mulch, and some of the many benefits of using it on your garden.
Hardwood Chip mulch is a long-lasting, decorative mulch product with approximately 2.5cm sized particles. This mix contains no fines (fines are small particles that usually have a 'soil like' texture), and this means it will generally last longer than traditional mulches. Unlike some pine chip mulches, it will preserve its earthy tones, rather than turning black over time.
This mulch is largely comprised of hardwood, rather than soft pine making it a safer choice for those who are concerned about termites.
If trees are a dominant feature of your garden landscape, hardwood chips represent one of the best mulch choices for trees and shrubs. The chemical and physical diversity of these materials resists the tendency towards the compaction often seen in sawdust and bark.
Hardwood chips supply nutrients slowly to the soil system, and at the same time they absorb significant amounts of water that is slowly released back to the soil. It's hardly a surprise that wood chips have been cited as superior mulches for enhanced plant productivity. Hardwood chips have been especially effective in helping establish trees and native plants in urban and disturbed environments. Wood chips also provide incredible weed control in ornamental landscapes.
So you can see there are plenty of compelling reasons to consider it for your garden.
There is nothing more exciting than seeing a carefully planned garden design come together to create something special. We are fortunate to do business with some wonderful people here on the Sunshine Coast, and we have recently had one of our favourite customers share pictures of his exceptional landscaping design with us. By combining some key products, he has created a tropical style oasis which has not only enhanced the value of his property, but is now a stunning outdoor living space where happy memories will be made for many years to come.
Using a thoughtful combination of materials, our customer has cleverly created distinct areas in his garden for particular purposes. He has used gold tumbled sandstone and natural stone steppers to mark out pathways around the pool and raised fire pit areas.
The contrasting colours, shapes and textures of the products are not only extremely functional, but very nice to look at. The lush tropical gardens have been generously mulched with a combination of cypress mulch, and hardwood mulch. This will help suppress weeds, and lock in the warmth and moisture over the coming cooler, drier months.
Interest has been added to the tropical style pool with natural granite rock. This makes a very beautiful and natural style top step to the pool.
Finally, drainage gravel and aggi pipe have been put to use to ensure that the area drains well in the wetter months, and pitching rock has been used to add interest, texture and colour to the surrounding garden beds.
You can clearly see the character of the property has been greatly enhanced by the use of these beautiful, natural landscaping products. If you have a dream design in mind for your garden, but are unsure what products might best suit your design and block, give our friendly staff and call and we can give you the advice you need to bring your dream garden to life.
At the moment, we have a special on our Aspenstone pavers, and there are plenty of reasons why your should consider using them in your design.
These pavers have a beautiful washed stone appearance, and are available in Vanilla, Cappuccino and Buttermilk; all neutral tones that fit in with most landscaping styles. They come in a large and striking rectangular size, making them perfect for paving larger areas.
The Aspenstone range are recommended for walkways, steps, living areas and around pools. Their bull nose makes them particularly good for steps.
Good news for DIYers, the Aspenstone range offer flexible installation options, require little maintenance and most are thick enough to be laid directly on to crushed rock and sand. This saves you time and reduces costs, making it incredibly fast and easy to bring your outdoor design dream to life.
Always look at pavers outside in the natural light.
Select pavers that match internal floor coverings to ensure the transition from indoor out is subtle and blends with your decorating style.
When paving a small space keep the design simple and use a neutral coloured, large format paver to create a sense of space. Large format pavers, such as Aspenstone® speed up the laying process. Having trouble growing grass in heavy traffic areas? Consider a paved garden path. Paved paths also help direct traffic and can reduce the amount of dirt carried into your home.
To make a path appear more substantial, use a stretcher bond laying pattern across the width of the path.
If paving a slope, it is important to start at the bottom and pave up the slope.
Paved areas should fall away from buildings and towards areas where run-off can be absorbed by plants.
Keep labour cost down by clearing the area first by removing grass and existing pavers, and potting any plants you want to keep.
We recommend that concrete pavers be sealed with a quality penetrating sealer following installation.
The Aspenstone range are 600x400x40 and are available while stocks last for $15.99.
Tree mulch is one of our most popular products for a range of reasons, none the least of which is that it is an extremely budget friendly way to fill out and spruce up a tired or drab looking garden bed.
Tree mulch suppresses the weeds that compete with your plants for all the important resources; nutrients and water. After the incredibly warm and damp early Autumn we have enjoyed, it is a particularly effective way to "tuck your plants in" in preparation for the colder, drier coming months.
Being an organic product, tree mulch breaks down slowly and releases nutrients gradually, over time. It provides a stable soil temperature, which not only promotes plant growth and saves water. What's not to love?
Tree mulch contains both wood and bark bits of different shapes and sizes, so it breaks down over time at different rates, allowing water to penetrate, and reducing compaction. Because it decomposes at different rates, it creates a diverse environment for soil organisms.

One important function of tea tree mulch is moisture control. Mulch prevents the sun and wind from drying out your soil, leaving your plants less stressed, even if they aren't getting maximum irrigation. Tea tree mulch in gardens dramatically slows evaporation. Tea tree mulch prevents weeds from crowding in by creating a physical barrier to weed growth. This stops weed seeds from reaching the soil, and also prevents weeds already in the soil from getting the sun they need to grow.
There are yet more tea tree mulch benefits in the garden. One is temperature control. Use of tea tree mulch in gardens keeps the soil surface cool in hot weather. It also warms up the soil in winter. Tea tree mulch is known to repel termites, sandflies, and midgies, but it is friendly to the earthworms that are so beneficial for your soil.
It has a pleasant, clean, astringent smell that makes your garden fresh and fragrant. And it disintegrates more slowly than some other mulches (up to a full year on the soil). And last, but far from least, when it comes to tea tree mulch adds vital organic matter to the soil. As the mulch deteriorates, it mixes with the soil and improves its structure.
You can buy tea tree mulch here, and we can supply any quantity you need, from the bucket to the bag, to the cubic metre. In any event, after this beautiful rain, head out into the garden and treat your beds to this beautiful mulch.
How did you fare after the whopping storms on the weekend? We are now once again looking down the barrel of extreme weather during the coming summer months, including heat, humidity and aggressive storms which can cause extensive damage to your home and garden.
In the aftermath of a storm like the one we endured over the weekend, yards are often covered with fallen trees, broken branches and scattered debris, leaving a giant mess for homeowners to clean up. The moisture and heat also create the perfect conditions for weeds to take over. Post-storm clean-up can present some risks, depending on how much damage your garden sustained, so it's important to take care as you get your yard back to normal.
Check the area: Walk around your property to inspect overall damage and take pictures as documentation. Check overhead for downed power lines and hanging branches. Never touch a power line that appears to be down or hanging. Instead, call your power company immediately to report the problem.
Wear protective gear: Eliminate injuries by dressing appropriately and using protective eyewear and durable gloves. Protective footwear is also important.
Repair trees: Damage can increase a tree's susceptibility to insects and diseases. If trees show signs of damage, they should be properly treated to maintain their health. Pruning damaged branches can help restore the tree. You should also remove broken and hanging branches to ensure safety, plus prevent additional property damage.
Use the experts: More serious damage to trees should be treated by a tree specialist. This is especially important if extensive removal of large branches is required. As always, never try to remove branches or trees from utility lines. Let the professionals do it.
Waste disposal: Materials from fallen or salvaged trees can be used in several ways. The larger branches can be cut and used for firewood, while smaller branches and twigs can be used as kindling or added to the compost pile.
Replace plants and trees: Following yard clean-up, you may wish to make some new plantings. To help reduce future problems, make sure the plants being considered are hardy enough for the area. For trees, it is helpful to know the approximate size and shape of the tree when mature. This will help determine where to plant it to avoid interference with utility lines or branches rubbing against buildings.
Repair paths/ driveways: Washout is particularly common following heavy rain. Repairing your driveway properly will help to prevent future wash outs. This is a quick guide to getting the job done properly the first time.
Weed and Mulch: While the ground is still nice and damp, take the opportunity to pull out weeds (they should come away as easy as), and apply a generous layer of mulch to garden beds. If you are unsure about the best type of mulch to use for your gardens, check out our handy guide here.
A thorough cleanup after the storm is also a great opportunity to prevent more damage when the next storm hits.

Nigeria airstrikes 'kill more than 100 jihadists'
More than 100 jihadist fighters were killed in airstrikes by the Nigerian military last week, security sources and residents told AFP on Tuesday.
Fighter jets bombarded three Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) camps in Nigeria's northeast on Monday last week, killing more than 100 fighters including several senior commanders, the sources said.
ISWAP has been consolidating its power in the Lake Chad region since the death in May of the leader of rival Islamist group Boko Haram during infighting between the two groups earlier this year.
ISWAP split from Boko Haram in 2016 and has since become the dominant jihadist force in Nigeria's conflict, frequently striking at troops in an insurgency that has killed more than 40,000 since it began in 2009.
A military officer in the region said "100 terrorists were killed" during "surgical air raids" in Marte, a district in the country's far northeast.
"The airstrikes followed meticulous planning after intelligence reports established the presence of large numbers of terrorists in the three locations," the officer added.
A Nigerian intelligence source in the region said it was difficult to give an exact toll but confirmed "well above 100" fighters were killed.
Huge numbers of ISWAP jihadists had moved to the three camps days earlier following fighter jet attacks on other villages.
They had taken 20 vehicles including mine-resistant trucks, the intelligence source said, adding that "all the vehicles were destroyed in the strikes along with several heavy weapons".
A local fisherman in the region said the militant group suffered huge casualties.
"They have been hard hit by the recent attacks. They buried the more than 100 dead bodies in Tudun Giginya village, which took them almost the whole day," said the fisherman, who asked not to be identified for personal safety.

Peaceful mornings in Ha Long Bay🎍 • Our first day cruising through the islands came with kayaking through this green sparkly water and being paddled around on a bamboo boat by a local! We saw a floating fisherman village and dogs that live the majority of their lives on those little fishing boats😳 • Is Ha Long Bay on anyone else's bucket list?
It's on my list for sure!!!!
Wowwwww I wanna go there.

Tensions have been running high between Nate Diaz and Donald Cerrone in the build-up to their co-main event fight at UFC 141 on Friday night, and that lead to a brief physical confrontation during a staredown at the pre-fight press conference today.
As the two squared up for the customary photograph session following the presser Cerrone appeared to say something to Diaz that lead to the Stockton native knocking off his cowboy hat and then shoving him. Dana White then quickly stepped in to separate the two men before things got any worse.
Bad blood between the two had began weeks earlier when Diaz had refused to shake Cerrone's hand during a media engagement.
Check out today's incident via the video below.

- I have always enjoyed systems engineering at spacecraft prime contract level (sometimes called systems architect) using advanced technology, tools & methods. I have come to realise that the attraction for me of working at this 'user' level is the analysis of user needs and reconciling these needs (with full traceability) to an appropriate technology in an effective manner.
- It was during my time in the UK Aircraft Carrier project that I learnt the benefits of using Architecture Frameworks (AFs) and the use that they can be put in the management of 'capability', how they can be used to obtain 'bangs for bucks', how they can be used to define the man machine interface and what a powerful tool they are in technology management (future and legacy).
- Since 2006 I have only occasionally been involved with user requirements with most of my time being applied to project management of high technical risk projects, most of which involve sub-contractors.

Q: How to make an html block cast shadow on only one side and/or follow non squared shapes I've been playing around with the box-shadow style in css using the syntax
box-shadow : offset-x | offset-y | blur-radius | spread-radius | color

particularly with offset-x=offset-y=0. When doing this, I get a shadow on all 4 sides. I don't want that.
I want to make it cast shadow on only one or two sides of the box, is that possible?
Say that the box surrounds a non squared shape, the box has a transparent background with a png or svg inside that illustrates a non-rectangular shape. This box is overlayed onto a web-page. Is it possible to make the box-shadow instead follow the contour of the contents inside that div-block instead of the transparent div-block itself?
I mean, this just looks plain stupid:
Image
Edit: Some example code as requested:

<!DOCTYPE html>

box-shadow: 6px 6px 21px blur radius light-gray on lower right side:

A light shadow on only two sides.

box-shadow: 0px 0px 21px blur radius light-gray centered:

This is what I want it to look like; a centered shadow but only cast on the right and the bottom, not on all four sides of the div block which has a transparent background.

A: You are looking for drop-shadow filter

.box {
 margin:50px;
 width:200px;
 height:200px;
 background:linear-gradient(to bottom right,red 50%, transparent 0);
 filter:drop-shadow(10px 0 5px #000);
}

A: You need to modify box-shadow properties like below to get shadow only one or two sides of the box.

.box-shadow
{
  width: 150px;
  height: 150px;
  border: 1px solid #888;
  -webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px -2px #888;
          box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px -2px #888;
}

A: Do you want to say like this? But cannot use transparent in SVG with shadow.

<!DOCTYPE html>

   <svg height="500" width="500">
      <polygon points="250,100 100,400 400,400" class="triangle" />
      Sorry, your browser does not support inline SVG.
   </svg>

A: Yes it is possible, please take a look here https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/b/box-shadow/, you will find examples that will help you.

A: you can do like this:
box-shadow: 10px 0 10px #333;

A: There is many of the online tools which generates a ready css code as per your requirements.

     'Array -> 'a'
  but given a
     ''b [] -> unit'
  The type 'Array' does not match the type ''a []'

I don't understand why I have an array that doesn't match the array type...

A: Enum.GetValues returns a System.Array but Array.iter requires a generic array type. You can cast the value returned from GetValues:
let a = Enum.GetValues(typeof<T>) :?> T array
a |> Array.iter (fun x -> ())

Purchasing a BB gun may look to be a simple task since it can be treated as a toy. You wouldn't need a BB gun that might end up confusing you when it has to do with its usage. Moreover, if you intend to use a BB gun for target shooting, you should have an effective rifle to guarantee maximum effectiveness. It is essential that your BB gun ought to be able to supply value for the price. A lighter BB gun is simpler to carry, which makes it a lot easier to bring during longer walks. The whole BB gun is created of pure metal.
When you wish to purchase a rifle and a scope for you to utilize in hunting it's important you should get to learn about a lot of them so you would know what rifle would be comfortable for you the most. It's also important that we ought to find a rifle and a scope that we're comfortable with so that we might be able to manage our rifle properly and do well in hunting. It's also important that we need to study utilizing the rifle's scope so that we may be in a position to know how to correctly utilize it and on the way that it could help us see our target better. Over all it is quite a superior superior rifle or gun.


When Kevin Durant first went down with an injury in the preseason, onlookers of all types gazed upon the Oklahoma City Thunder with pronounced and robust wonder. How would top dog Russell Westbrook fare without the NBA's reigning Most Valuable Player? How would a freed Westbrook act in accordance with Scott Brooks' scripture? And, perhaps most importantly, what would a Westbrook-centric Thunder look like?
Forget, even for just a minute, that he is the leading scorer in the NBA, or that his usage rate is set to land in second place at its current mark of 38.4 (Who's #1? The version of Kobe Bryant that scored 81 points on a sad-sack Raptors team in the middle of January 2006, of course). Since the calendar flipped to 2015, no basketball player has been better than Russell Westbrook. Through Sunday's game against Chicago, Westbrook is averaging 27.5 points, 9 assists and 8.2 rebounds per game in the New Year. All eight of his triple-doubles thus far this season have come since January 1st, including an absurd run of six in the last nine games. Kevin Durant hasn't played since February 19th against Dallas (a game from which, it ought to be noted, the Thunder emerged victorious). Durant's injury is the lightning required to shock Westbrook into the fifth dimension, one he shares with the likes of Oscar Robertson, Wilt Chamberlain and Magic Johnson.
As the sole alpha dog in Oklahoma City, Westbrook seems to carry the basketball as if he were the sole recipient of fire, and his mission was to introduce it to the rest of the unworthy human race. His sense of self-protection, never the most paramount of concerns, seems to have diminished without Durant around to remind him that, hey, Russell, we're playing basketball, there's no need to get yourself killed trying to dunk through the ceiling for a Vine. Not that Vines are among Russell Westbrook's main foci either.
His total disregard for anything or anyone other than what he needs to do at any given time calls to mind John Wayne just as much as it does J.R. Smith. And the thing is, even the Duke had an off day every so often. Night after night, Westbrook sends NBA Twitter into a frenzy, though no combination of words (even especially this one!) is truly adequate to do his random acts of basketball justice, let alone a paltry 140 characters with a picture or gif. His current pace is almost single-handedly what's carrying all of us, the viewers, from the All-Star Break through the playoffs, tight Eastern Conference fringe races notwithstanding.
Russell Westbrook has become the embodiment of appointment viewing for the regular season NBA. You know appointment viewing, that institution of the American Dream which gathers families around a television for a special evening together? It dies every few years due to some progress in technology or a perceived sense of ennui from those darn youths. But even technology cannot slow down Russell Westbrook. He's the kind of general that doesn't care if you're following him into battle, so you'd better follow or get as far out of the way of that impending nuclear reaction as you possibly can. That means you, Dion Waiters.
It's not that he's selfish; his aforementioned run of triple-doubles could've told you that, but for you Morey-types, he ranks fourth in the league in assists per game and leads overall in assist percentage. It's really more that he has a preternatural and innate sense of self-belief, a confidence which does not betray arrogance simply because it seems that everything he does is entirely necessary to furthering the cause of his team. Grab a rebound, run the floor and throw down a dunk without passing to anyone else? Sure. Take on every opposing defender, Kobe-style, in some warped basketball death match? Absolutely. Charge into a pit of fire and emerge with a fresh block of ice? Have the Gatorade coolers open, Coach Brooks.
When Durant returns, which should happen in the next week or two, he will unwittingly and unwillingly carry the same misguided doubts about "fit" and "style" which inevitably befall Oklahoma City's heroes when they play together. It's easy to cast Durant as Apollo and Westbrook as Dionysus, each with a complementary burden of the world on his shoulders. Perhaps the best for which we can hope is not that Westbrook's chaos reels itself in and becomes more controlled; it already has, and the people who look at Westbrook as a fire-breathing antagonist of team basketball and "the good of the game" are the same people who used to think (or still do think) that Blake Griffin is solely good for Kia-branded dunks.
No, what we should want is presumably what the players themselves want, an understanding of their synergy to be bestowed upon detractors so that they, the agents in question, may return to the simple yet daunting task of winning basketball games in the Western Conference. There's no guarantee that the Thunder make it to the playoffs, just as there's no guarantee that coffee you bought at the store today won't be on sale tomorrow. That would make you feel like it was a waste, but hey, you have the coffee now. And man, does it make you feel great.

Murfreesboro City Schools Director Linda Gilbert dies of stroke
Murfreesboro Daily News Journal
Murfreesboro City Schools Director Linda Arms Gilbert has died of a stroke, officials confirmed Wednesday. She was 69.
"It's a sad day for Murfreesboro," City School Board Chairman Butch Campbell told The Daily News Journal. "It's not an easy thing to digest. Linda Gilbert was an extraordinary director of schools. She was very much a team player."
Woodfin Funeral Chapels, Murfreesboro & Smyrna is handling the pending arrangements. Due to the Covid-19 guidelines and these unprecedented and uncertain times, a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers or meals, the family asks that donations be made to Murfreesboro City Schools, through the C. H.O.W. program or Bob the Book Bus at www.cityschools.net/accepting-donations.
All of the district's staff members and school employees worked well together under Gilbert's leadership, Campbell said.
"Linda was always concerned about all the employees and all students, and certainly wanted nothing but the best for each one of them," Campbell said. "This district is well recognized across the state and in Southeast as being an extraordinary system. We've had visitors from all over the state looking at programs that city schools are involved in, and a good part of that is because of her expertise and her vision for all people involved in city schools."
A native of Rutherford County, Gilbert graduated from Central High School in downtown Murfreesboro in the late 1960s before earning a degree at Middle Tennessee State University, Campbell said. She also earned a doctorate from Tennessee State University.
Gilbert was a band and music teacher early in her career for the city's Black Fox Elementary School. She won Tennessee teacher of the year recognition and was competitive for the national award, retired Principal Zane Cantrell recalled.
"She was so creative and such a wonderful, wonderful teacher," Cantrell said.
Gilbert was always reaching out to help teachers and would go into their classrooms, Cantrell said.
"The legacy that she is leaving for the boys and girls of Murfreesboro City Schools will last for generations," Cantrell said.
The district's central office administrators will oversee operations while the board conducts a search to appoint a successor to Gilbert, Campbell said. Gilbert had served as director of the city's pre-K through sixth-grade district since 2010. The board extended her contract September 2019 to run through Dec. 31, 2023.
Gilbert led district that gained recognition
Gilbert led a system that attained Exemplary School District recognition from the state. The Tennessee Organization of School Superintendents also named her as the state's top educational leader in 2018.
Board Vice Chairman David Settles also described Gilbert as being a great leader.
"I'm really sad beyond words," Settles said. "I'm speechless. Linda loved the school system. She was concerned about our schools, and she loved the kids. She did everything she could to educate the whole child."
The district under Gilbert's leadership started childcare for teachers to help in recruiting and retaining talented educators. She also advocated successfully for a full-time police officer to be assigned to each school.
During the pandemic, Gilbert's district used buses to make sure meals were delivered to children while the schools were closed.
Gilbert volunteers as pianist at nursing home
Gilbert was also known for being an organist at Bethel United Methodist Church for 57 years in the Leanna community northwest of Murfreesboro. She also played piano as one of the volunteers from her church monthly to offer worship at the Tennessee Veterans Home, said fellow congregation member Matthew Brown.
"Never in a million years did I think she'd be gone," Brown said. "She is a friend. She is an amazing lady. It's going to be a loss for everybody."
Gilbert was always friendly and engaging, Brown said. He also recalled how tirelessly she worked to serve children.
"She's amazing," Brown said. "She continues to have a presence in the community with those kids to make sure they are supported, educated and fed. She was one of a kind. It's such a loss for everyone."
Other officials praise Gilbert
Prior to accepting her job as director, Gilbert was as an associate professor of education in MTSU's Educational Leadership Department. After becoming director of the school district, Gilbert organized field trips for around 7,500 students to attend a women's basketball game each year at the university.
MTSU President Sidney McPhee joined other officials in providing statements to The Daily News Journal about Gilbert.
"The MTSU community and my family are devastated by the passing of our dear friend, distinguished alumna and colleague, Dr. Linda Gilbert," McPhee said. "We have lost a compassionate, visionary leader and stellar educator who propelled our city schools system to even greater heights. She always put students first in all that she did – and she was tireless in her enthusiasm and support of her employees, including my wife, Elizabeth, who worked with her as a teacher."
Rutherford County Schools Director Bill Spurlock also praised Gilbert.
"Dr. Gilbert spent her lifetime dedicated to serving children, and our community has lost a great advocate of public education," Spurlock said in a statement. "She was a valuable colleague, and I will miss her friendship. Our prayers are with her family and the city of Murfreesboro as they mourn this tragic loss."
Gilbert was Murfreesboro's strongest advocate for children and served on the Child Advocacy Center's board for nearly 20 years, said Sharon De Boer, the center's executive director.
"She cared about the education of children, but she also cared deeply about the whole child," said De Boer, adding that Gilbert wrote and edited grants that helped establish the center. "She understood that children cannot learn when they are afraid to go home after school because they are being abused.."
Murfreesboro Mayor Shane McFarland also provided a statement about Gilbert.
"Linda was a passionate and effective leader of our well-recognized education system," McFarland said. "Her commitment to excellence and deep compassion for students and teachers was clearly evident and irreplaceable."

Russell June 7, 2017 at 5:03 AM
Am I dreaming??? This is PERFECT!
Daniel Epler June 7, 2017 at 9:00 AM
haha My reaction exactly.
John Murphy June 7, 2017 at 8:29 AM
The great thing about these shows with Heather? Crazy opinions abound! :)
Chaybee June 7, 2017 at 9:13 AM
Totally agree, Heather. "The Strangers" is amazing. I'm not really a fan of the Home Invasion sub-genre, but that film is the definitive one to me. And you're also dead on with the sound design. I love that movie.
Also agree on "No Ones Lives" too. That's one of my favorite newer ones in the genre. I also really liked "The Town that Dreaded Sundown" remake, though I know it's not a popular opinion.
I bought the DVD for "The Sleeper" a few years ago when it was released (still think you can get it from the website) but I didn't think it was very good, though I respect the effort. That choreographed dance scene in the middle was excruciating yet funny.
Tucker and Dale is a crazy ass pick, haha
As far as favorites go, it's such a widespread genre that it's hard to choose. A few less obvious that I love are: Bay of Blood a.k.a Twitch of the Death Nerve, Slumber Party Massacre, New York Ripper, Silent Night, Deadly Night, Christmas Evil, Chopping Mall (if you count that), Madman, Alone In the Dark. Too many to name.
Love these discussions, thanks for another great podcast!
Heather Wixson June 7, 2017 at 5:49 PM
Yeah, I wanted to give The Sleeper a shout-out simply because it was a movie made for literally no money (I said $40k on the episode I think, but I went back and looked, and it was $20k), with real affection for the genre, and I think that dance scene was their nod to Prom Night. LOL
I enjoyed the new TTTDS too, and glad to hear someone else out there dug No One Lives! Oh, and I adore that you brought up Alone in the Dark as well. :)
Chaybee June 7, 2017 at 7:25 PM
I completely respect the shout out to The Sleeper, matter of fact, I regret saying I didn't really like it because I'm always championing zero budget Horror films.
Adam Riske June 7, 2017 at 9:17 AM
"I'm not the biggest Chad Michael Murray fan"
Turns off podcast :-)
Dennis June 7, 2017 at 11:47 AM
Thanks for the entertainment, you keep me sane in an insane world,
And now I'm like thinking "Damn do I need to rewatch Valentine?". I own it so I'm already kinda crazy I guess...
You can never go wrong with adding a little Boreanaz into your life....
A little off topic but I'd love to uear you guys discuss Kill List sometime soon
*hear
I'm a big Wheatley fan so I'd definitely be up for that. Kill List is great - I always love when a movie "goes off the rails" like that in its finale.
E.S.A.D.D. June 7, 2017 at 1:29 PM
My fave slasher is hands-down Friday the 13th Part III. I love it so much, and find it so definitive of the genre, that it eventually crawled its way into my personal Top 10 overall. Also love Nightmares in a Damaged Brain, Angst (if it counts,) the first Halloween remake, and especially Sorority House Massacre II. I can't believe Chaybee didn't mention Boardinghouse!!
John Murphy June 7, 2017 at 2:01 PM
Ditto! I love Friday the 13th part 3! It's certainly my favorite Friday, and probably my favorite slasher overall.
Although the original Child's Play ranks really high for me as well.
Again...too many to name. Boardinghouse didn't even creep into my mind, nor did Houseboat Horror which I love as well!
benpeterson June 7, 2017 at 5:08 PM
The Eyes of Laura Mars is awesome!!! It's been a few good years since I've seen it, but I remember it being very De Palma'ish. Sleazy, murder mystery. Patrick I think you'd really take to it.
Hardware / MARK 13? Get the nastiest version you can find.
Kersey Resch June 9, 2017 at 10:04 PM
Heather is awesome, love when she's on. Her heaping praise on some of my favorites was like music to my ears. 'The Strangers'!!! My sister's favorite horror movie, we watch it probably once a year. Then she goes on a Leslie Vernon rant! I've showed that movie to everyone I know and it's one of my favorites from the past 15 years for sure. I tend to agree with pretty much anything Heather says and her picks...except this Scream business. I've watched that MTV show and man I just can't see what's there to like. Granted I've only watched most of the first season...I don't know. My sister loves that show though. She also loves 'Scream Queens' and 'Scream 4'...kindred spirits?

SITA cracks whip on Gauteng Broadband Network project
By Samuel Mungadze, Senior news journalist
Johannesburg, 03 Jul 2019
Altron Nexus on Tuesday paid a group of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) contracted to work on the second phase of the Gauteng Broadband Network (GBN).
This follows a report by ITWeb that the implementation of the multibillion-rand project risked extended delays, with fresh allegations of corruption and non-compliance raised by the SME service providers.
At the time, the group of SMEs made damning allegations of maladministration, greed and nepotism, and said the laws and regulations that govern the project had been deliberately contravened. This prompted the State Information Technology Agency (SITA) to demand answers from Altron Nexus, previously known as Altech Alcom Matomo.
Altech Alcom Matomo was awarded phase one of the GBN project, valued at R1.2 billion in 2013, for the building of a core network and connection of 450 sites. The tender for phase two of the GBN was also awarded to Altech Alcom Matomo in 2018, at a contract value of R2.8 billion.
Some of the key demands of the GBN contract are that 40% of work should be awarded to Gauteng-based small businesses in the five regions of the province: the City of Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni, Tshwane, West Rand and Sedibeng.
The SMEs claim this was not done and they were sidelined from the project. Meanwhile, those that were lucky to be contracted weren't paid, despite Altron Nexus having been paid.
SMEs accuse Gauteng Broadband Network of corruption
Another R2.8bn for Gauteng broadband network
The group of SMEs also said Altron Nexus had misrepresented the number of small businesses working on the project, claiming 47 had been contracted but in fact only seven had actually been working on the project. Of the seven, only four had been paid for their services rendered to the GBN project.
Following the publication of the plight of these SMEs by ITWeb, the new Gauteng MEC of finance and e-government Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko met with SITA and Altron Nexus to discuss the concerns of the small businesses.
SITA then demanded a project delivery report from Altron Nexus.
Acting CEO of SITA Ntutule Tshenye said: "SITA has engaged with Altron Nexus to resolve this emerging tension from SMMEs to ensure this risk is mitigated, and that the matter is resolved in an amiable manner. The SMME concern around competitiveness, compliance and payment is being taken seriously, noting that SITA's contractual agreements are explicit and unambiguous."
He added that SITA had also received full assurance from Altron Nexus on its commitment to the highest principles of integrity within this process.
"SITA has engaged with Altron Nexus, who has given their full assurance in the spirit of openness and transparency on this crucial matter. They are prepared to open the process for auditing. This would include the records used in the SMME vetting process. This transparent approach to the work done to date on this programme will assist to build confidence in the lifecycle of this programme," Tshenye said.
He added that SITA believes Altron's leadership and its management, "who are aware of the concerns raised, will continue on the intention to build and foster good ethos and interaction between itself and SMMEs".
On Tuesday, Altron Nexus submitted the project delivery report to SITA as well as proof that the SMEs had been paid.
Tshenye said SITA will continue to engage with Altron Nexus on the process of tender spend and payments to this SMME sector.
Responding to the allegations, Altron Nexus spokesperson Zipporah Maubane said the Gauteng Broadband Network project phase two was awarded six months ago and is at its initial rollout stages, with 15 sites allocated so far. She said 79% of the work on these 15 sites had been allocated to SMMEs, which is "significantly higher than what was required contractually".
She added Altron had appointed five project houses, of which four are level one BBBEE, despite the SMEs claiming this was not so. The SMEs originally claimed Altron preferred to appoint companies it had worked with in Limpopo and Tshwane.
Maubane said 79% of the work on the 15 GBN sites had been allocated to SMMEs, which "is significantly higher than what was required contractually".
Nkomo-Ralehoko's communications team said she will only be available for an interview after the department's budget vote in two weeks' time.

The Hamilton Khaki Watches: Your Reliable Aviator's Instruments
in Electronic & Gadgets, Fashion and Beauty, Tips and Tricks
The Hamilton Watch Company is a Swiss wristwatch maker situated in Bienne, Switzerland. Many buyers, however, still associate the watch brand with the United States. However, they are not entirely incorrect; the Hamilton Watch Company may be traced back to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The company's early products were not wristwatches; instead, they were pocket watches. After World War II, when the market changed to wristwatches, Hamilton had no choice but to follow suit. Since then, movie makers and even major characters have turned to Hamilton for inspiration.
The Ventura gained notoriety mostly as a result of its appearance on Elvis Presley's wrist in the movie Blue Hawaii. Men In Black 3, Interstellar, and A Good Day To Die Hard, to name a few, all featured Hamilton timepieces. HAMILTON timepiece whether you wear your watch every day or only on special occasions, demands continual attention.
Hamilton Watches Used in the Aviation Industry
Hamilton Khaki Aviation collection, one of the company's pride watches. Hamilton aviator watches are known for their accuracy and dependability. Whether you're looking for an automatic watch, a GMT watch, or a pilot's chronograph, these collections of precise timepieces for professional pilots have the perfect watch for you.
In 1918, the company made its first attempt into aircraft. It also marked the start of the company's illustrious history of serving the aviation sector. The first American airmail service between Washington DC and New York was accompanied by a Hamilton aeronautical watch. In 1926, the first aviator to reach the North Pole wearing a Hamilton watch. Admiral Richard E. Byrd set an aviation record when he circled the North Pole for 13 minutes before returning to his base. A precision Hamilton watch was also essential in assisting pilots on their first journey from California to Hawaii the following year, in 1927.
Hamilton Watches Long History
Hamilton was formed in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in the United States, in 1892. In Lancaster, the Hamilton Watch Company was housed on a 13-acre site. Following its establishment, the business also acquired Aurora Watch Company's machinery. The company's earliest products were pocket watches, with a focus on quality and precision. The railroads were the company's main customers. Because of the brand's commitment to precision, railroads bought all of the company's products. In 1893, the first watch bearing the brand was an 18-size 17-jewel pocket watch. Only two size movements were made in the first fifteen years of the watch company — the 18-size and the smaller 16-size. The company introduced their first pocket watch line, the Broadway Limited, in 1912. The "Watch of Railroad Accuracy" was the name given to it. As the company became known for creating precise railroad watches, the tagline became a success.
The brand became an official supplier to the US Armed Forces in 1914, and the company furthered its reputation for making high-quality timepieces by providing field watches to the troops. This also signifies the company's transition from pocket watches to wristwatches. In 1917, the company released its first wristwatch; it included the 0-sized 17-jewel 983 movements, which were initially created for women's pendant watches, and was specifically meant to appeal to men entering World War I.
The brand relocated its headquarters and manufacturing facilities to Biel, Switzerland, in 2003. The brand was able to add the ultimate quality mark "Swiss made" to each watch produced in its new location as a result of the move. H-21 and H-31, the brand's bespoke automatic calibers, were introduced in 2011. The H-10, H-30, and H-40 followed three years later, each with an expanded power reserve of up to 80 hours.
Recent Stories of the iconic company
The company commemorated the 60th anniversary of the legendary Ventura watch in 2017. It was the world's first electric watch when it was introduced in 1957. When it originally came out, it drew a legion of followers, including Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll.
This iconic brand became the Official Timekeeper of the Red Bull Air Race World Championship the following year, in 2017. The competition featured 14 of the world's best aerobatic pilots. They're all striving for the coveted title of world champion. The pilots have to complete the race stages in eight different countries to achieve such a distinction. By the year 2018, the brand had triumphantly completed a century of sky-timing. Since 1918, professional pilots have preferred Hamilton, mostly due to the brand's dedication to precision and innovation, as well as a passion for adventure.
Hamilton watch aficionados, collectors, and owners have generally positive things to say about the brand on numerous forums. The Hamilton Khaki is still regarded as one of the greatest field watches in its price range, and the Hamilton Khaki King was included in our list of the top pilot watches under $500. Many consumers are unsure where to begin because the company offers so many various styles and types of watches. And many trendy watchmakers use low-cost Japanese quartz movements and inferior parts, Hamilton watches are frequently sold in the same price range as Hamilton watches, according to several watch experts. The Hamilton Khaki watches will always be your reliable aviator's instruments!
When compared to other watches in the same price range, these watches have a long history and are highly appreciated. Hamilton is noted for his designs, which are reminiscent of the fashions of the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. While Hamilton is not considered a luxury or premium brand, it consistently receives favorable feedback from watch enthusiasts, and many consider it an underestimated brand given the watches' price range. The company is now underpinned by Swiss ETA automatic movements, thanks to its affiliation with the Swatch Group.
The brand has a large selection of timepieces. You may choose a Hamilton watch that fits your budget starting at roughly $300 and going all the way up to $6,000 or more. Many of their mid-range watches have been shortlisted across a variety of categories and styles: from field watches to pilot watches to dress watches, the brand has watches that many watch enthusiasts would love to have. Vintage Hamilton watches are also available for purchase online if you are more of an old soul.

However, if you do possess a certification, including it at the top of your resume is the best way to ensure the hiring manager knows that you have the proven skills and knowledge to perform dental assistant duties.
In this resume, the DANB Certified Dental Assistant certification is placed in its own section at the top, and is also mentioned in the Career Objective.
In most cases, the hiring manager will read your resume from top to bottom. For this reason, it's important to give your resume a strong introductory statement, which we call a Career Objective. There are other ways to start your resume, depending on your level of experience — you can check out our flow chart here.
Dental Assistant with 4+ years of experience1 providing efficient and competent service2 in busy dental clinics. Able to handle all necessary assistant duties without supervision3. Possess a 2015 DANB certification4 and a Dental Assistant Associate Degree. Provide superb customer service, ensuring patient retention and loyalty for your clinic5.
Remember, a resume is essentially a sales document selling yourself. Always finish your Career Objective by stating how you can help the clinic achieve its goals. If you don't have work experience yet, sell yourself by mentioning relevant coursework and earned degree(s).
Remember, a resume is essentially a sales document selling yourself.
To write the best Professional Experience section, you must capture your full range of experiences, abilities, and most importantly, achievements.
"Scope and breadth" is one way to include numbers on your resume that reflect your competence. The ability to handle 15 patients a day immediately reveals to the hiring manager that this candidate can clearly handle the routine of setting patients up, cleaning tools, preparing materials, and all other aspects of running a dental clinic.
Everyone values accuracy and competence, no matter what job you are applying for. The number one worry that hiring managers have is that the candidate they are hiring is careless and needs constant supervision. Help relieve those fears by talking up your competence. In this case, getting patient records and histories right 100% of the time saves everyone a big headache in a dental clinic.
If you helped your clinic (or workplace) save money in some regard, include it on your resume. This kind of achievement makes your competence, intelligence, and value immediately apparent.
The dental profession requires knowledge of and ability to use tools. Your Additional Skills section should reflect your specialized knowledge, especially if you were unable to fit it into the professional experience section.
Don't worry, you can even repeat tools in your Additional Skills section – this will make your resume better optimized for Applicant Tracking Systems, and increase the chances that your resume will get past the system and into the hands of a human.
This applicant included general tools and software such as MS Office. Believe it or not, the applicant also included that he/she has a professional bedside manner. As a dental assistant, your bedside manner could be the difference between a patient hating the experience and never coming back, or recommending your services to friends and family.
We wish you the best of luck with finding employment.

Twitter Helps You Find More Friends With New "People" Tab
By Stan Schroeder 2010-11-19 05:21:08 UTC
Twitter is testing a new People tab, positioned next to the Home, Profile and Messages tabs on the home page.
The new feature suggests friends for you, lets you browse Twitter users through interests, or find new Twitter buddies through other services such as Gmail, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Hotmail and Messenger.
It also shows the accounts you've recently followed and viewed, with the ability to quickly browse accounts that are similar to those you've followed.
One of the main problems Twitter users are facing is a meaningful way to find new people to follow. There's a large number of third-party tools and services out there that let you discover new friends, but until now, Twitter itself wasn't really helpful with this regard. Now, it has finally consolidated all of its friend-finding features under one tab, which will definitely be helpful, especially to new users.
Interestingly enough, it seems that Twitter is currently testing several slightly different versions of the feature. For example, on my account the new tab is called "Find People" instead of just "People." See the difference in the screenshots below.
Topics: people, Social Media, social networking, Twitter, web, web 2.0
