I recall being shown the 'Evangelists' quartet of instruments by a very proud Étienne Vatelot when I visited his shop as a student in the 1970s. That he should take the time to talk to a shabby English stranger I took as an indication of his own pleasure in and appreciation of this unique work of Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, which he had recently acquired.
The quartet obviously has a devotional nature of its own, and must have had a strong meaning for Vuillaume himself, who constructed these four instruments in 1863 – each dedicated to one of the four evangelists of the New Testament – apparently without a particular commission. He followed these with a violin dedicated to St Joseph in the same year, and in 1864 he made the 'St Peter' and the 'St Paul'. In 1870 he made another 'St Paul' violin, and a 'St Nicolas' in 1872. In his 1972 biography of the maker, Roger Millant states that Vuillaume in fact made instruments dedicated to all twelve Apostles, although only nine seem to have survived.


Ask Erin: If you find money should you give it back?
Question: I am a Hindu and we are taught as children not to take anything that does not belong to us. Once, I found a bunch of 100 dollar bills outside of a Denny's. I thought it must be a prank at first because no one else was around. I took the money to the manager. The owner of the money called Denny's and was able to get his money back.
Answer: You must ask yourself how you would feel if you were the person who lost the money. If I drop a penny and someone later picks it up I wouldn't be upset. If I dropped several hundred dollars I would be very grateful if someone would return it to me. But where do you draw the line? You have to consult your own conscience and accept the spiritual consequences of those actions.
You'll notice that in Steve's abundance manifestation intention he says, "for the highest good of all." It wouldn't be for the highest good of all if you had taken hundreds of dollars that belonged to someone else. We don't believe in manifesting wealth at the physical or spiritual expense of someone else.
Let your conscience guide you. If you feel at all uneasy taking found money, don't take it. There are so many ways of attracting wealth and abundance into your life. Finding money is just one of them.

}}Jan Frederik Staal' (Amsterdam, 28 februari 1879 – aldaar, 8 april 1940) was een Nederlands architect.

 Leven en werk
Staal vestigde zich in 1902, samen met Alexander Kropholler (1881-1973), als architect in het Nederlandse aannemersbedrijf van zijn vader, Staal en Haalmeyer. Vanaf 1903 ontwierpen zij gebouwen, die in het begin ook door het aannemersbedrijf van zijn vader werden gebouwd. Enkele door Staal en Kropholler ontworpen gebouwen zijn de kantoren van de levensverzekeringsmaatschappij "De Utrecht" in Amsterdam en Leeuwarden.

In 1910 werd de samenwerking tussen Staal en Kropholler verbroken en ging Staal zijn ontwerpen in de stijl van de Amsterdamse school uitvoeren. De villa's in het Park Meerwijk te Bergen (1917-1918) waren zijn eerste gebouwen in deze stijl. Andere ontwerpen van Staal zijn de centrale bloemenveiling te Aalsmeer, een 12-verdiepingen tellend gebouw met de bijnaam 'Wolkenkrabber' te Amsterdam, het Nederlandse paviljoen op de Exposition des arts décoratifs et industriels van 1925 te Parijs, het hoofdgebouw van dagblad De Telegraaf (tegenwoordig de Kas-Bank) aan de Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal te Amsterdam, de Koopmansbeurs in Rotterdam en diverse woningen in de Amsterdamse Rivierenbuurt.

Niet gerealiseerd werd Staals prijsvraagontwerp voor een operagebouw op het Museumplein in Amsterdam: zijn inzending kreeg in 1920 weliswaar de voorkeur, maar de opera werd niet gerealiseerd. Hij gebruikte motieven later voor zijn bloemenveiling en zijn Telegraaf-gebouw.

Staal is een zeer belangrijke Nederlandse architect die op organische wijze de ontwikkeling heeft doorgemaakt van de Amsterdamse School-architectuur naar de nieuwe zakelijkheid. Duidelijk is dit te zien in de woningblokken in het kwadrant Apollolaan, Beethovenstraat, Corellistraat en de Bachstraat. De bebouwing op de Apollolaan/Beethovenstraat is karakteristiek door de grote strakke erkers die thans ook nog modern aandoen. Ook de familiehuizen aan de Corellistraat (even zijde) getuigen van een moderne lichte bouwstijl. Het verschil tussen de bouwstijl hier en die aan de J.M. Coenenstraat (ook van Staal) is evident en hieruit is zijn ontwikkeling duidelijk op te merken.

Hij was een fervent socialist, maar is ook korte tijd lid geweest van de Communistische Partij. Ook was Staal enkele jaren bestuurslid van architectuurgenootschap Architectura et Amicitia. Dit genootschap hield vanaf 1914 zijn ledenvergaderingen in een lokaal in een door hem ontworpen bankgebouw aan de Herengracht. Van 1920 tot 1930 was hij lid van de redactie van Wendingen.

Staal was vanaf 1936 getrouwd met architect Margaret Staal-Kropholler (1891-1966), met wie hij al veel langer een relatie had en die aanvankelijk zijn medewerkster was. Zij was de zuster van Staals voormalige compagnon Alexander Kropholler. Zij zijn begraven op de Nieuwe Oosterbegraafplaats in Amsterdam.

Zijn zoon Arthur Staal (1907-1993) was eveneens architect en ontwierp in 1966 de Toren Overhoeks in Amsterdam-Noord. Zijn zoon George Staal (1909-2003) was ook architect en daarnaast was er een derde zoon Fred Staal (1899-1943) die omkwam in Nederlands-Indië. Een vierde zoon was de taalkundige Frits Staal (1930-2012), die echter een andere moeder had dan Arthur, Georges en Fred.
Uit het huwelijk met Margaret Staal-Kropholler stamt een dochter Margareth, ofwel Maggie Venekamp-Staal.

In 2015, Staals 75ste sterfjaar, verscheen de eerste monografie over hem, 'Jan Frederik Staal (1879-1940) - De wil van het gebouw en de wil van de tijd'. Het boek is geschreven door Hans Willem Bakx en uitgegeven door de Stichting Bonas.

Before You Go Shopping for New Clothes, Take a Look at This Toxic Desert of Used Clothing in Northern Chile
Photo courtesy of Antonio Cossio/dpa.
Before you click on the ad that appears on the web, before you pay attention to that newsletter that promises you the best looks for spring, take a look at this desert.
It is a clandestine dump of tons of used clothes that end up abandoned in the arid lands of the Atacama Desert in the north of Chile.
As if it were a post-apocalyptic scenario, the mountains of used clothing from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia find their final destination in the driest desert in the world.
The clothes, which were discarded for resale, ended up in this open-air dump, emitting toxic gases as they decomposed, reported Spanish newspaper El País.
That clandestine dump has been rising from the discards of the 59,000 tons of clothing that arrive each year in Chile — Latin America's leading importer of second-hand garments — through the free trade zone at the port of Iquique, 1,800 kilometers north of Santiago. Most are used items, but there are also some unworn ones with the sale tag still attached.
This clothing desert is also the destination of thousands of people searching for clothes to wear or resell and make a living.
En fotos: el desierto de Atacama, convertido en basurero clandestino de ropa usada 👚👙👖
👟🧣El consumo desmedido y fugaz de ropa hizo crecer de manera exponencial los desechos textiles en el mundo, que tardan unos 200 años en desintegrarse
🧤https://t.co/hRRZzueYzm pic.twitter.com/0sBTVRxBro

"We have transformed our city into the garbage dump of the world," Patricio Ferreira, mayor of Alto Hospicio, the commune where the vast majority of the dumps are located, told the BBC.
Most of this clothing has previously been donated to charities in developed countries. Much of it is resold in charity stores or given to people in need.
But what is not sold or donated in those countries (sometimes because it is damaged) ends up being sent to other countries such as Chile, India, or Ghana, the BBC continued.
According to the United Nations, the fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries globally, after oil.
This industry is responsible for 8% of greenhouse gases and 20% of total global water waste. Just think that it takes 7,500 liters of water to produce a pair of jeans.
In addition, most clothing is currently made of polyester, a type of plastic resin obtained from petroleum, which has great advantages over cotton: it is very economical, weighs little, dries quickly, and does not wrinkle.
The problem is that it takes more than 200 years to disintegrate, while cotton takes about 30 months.
Although the issue of the clothing dump in the Atacama is not new — textile waste has been accumulating in the desert for at least 15 years — the solution is far from simple.
Between companies that do not take responsibility for their waste and the irresponsible consumption we make from our homes, the world does not seem to have enough natural mats to hide our garbage.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas…which means it's time for holiday cards.
Because I'm the least photogenic person in the world, I'm very dismissive of selfies or any pictures of myself. But when it comes to Christmas cards, I try to remember what my friend's mother said.
When my friend GR passed away, his mother considered it her most treasured possession the pictures from a family photo session they had done. GR died unexpectedly soon after, which serves as a reminder to me to capture the memories of loved ones.
We sent out 131 cards last year and received 44, for a total return of 33%. What do you think? Is that a good return rate? Haha! With the stress of the holidays, I do consider scaling back or skipping a year, but I think they bring such joy. I don't know about you, but I absolutely love getting cards and seeing everyone's shiny faces. It's mailbox bliss!
Here is a sample with a picture of my extended family using Tiny Prints Holiday Cards. Isn't it gorgeous and so classic?
Do you send out cards this time of year? Do you love getting them as much as I do?
I have never used Tiny Prints before, but they are great. Couldn't beat the pricing either!
I love getting your holiday card every year, CG! I don't get many cards, but I treasure every single one that I do. Your card this year is GORGEOUS, what a great idea!
I do like holiday cards, but I am not sending them for the first time in many years. We couldn't get a good family photo, and I put too much pressure on myself to make it perfect. Yours is fabulous though – thank you for sharing!

It's a hard one. Can you blame her?
While everyone in the business of entertainment news is very happy for Miley Cyrus now that she's found love with Patrick Schwarzenegger, it's also safe to say that the name "Schwarzenegger" inspires great fear in people who have to write it out because it is so, so long. But it turns out that even Miley can't spell it, so don't feel too bad if you have to Google it, then copy and paste every time you need to type it. During an appearance on Good Morning America, Cameron Mathison asked Miley if she would spell Patrick's surname on camera. "Literally I just had this conversation," Miley said. "I can't tell you. Apparently there's not a 'T' in it." Yeah, against all logic! Why isn't there a 'T' in it?
The mini spelling bee comes at the end of the below video, which is mostly about Miley's new MAC Viva Glam lipstick benefitting the MAC AIDS Fund. "I'm not the way that people try to make me seem," Miley said. "I don't go around just trashing hotel rooms and partying ... I'm actually working on, you know, music that I love and being involved in things that I love."

Frederick Weisel
Author of Teller: A Novel
The Day He Left
The Silenced Women
The Day He Left: A Violent Crime Investigations Team Mystery
ON SALE February 8, 2022
"Mahler followed Eden into the hallway toward the interview room. At the doorway, he hesitated. He was pretty sure what was coming. Missing persons were loser cases—lonely, dead-end assignments that officers dodged, where you searched for what you didn't want to find."
In this second book in the VCI series, Eddie Mahler and his team of homicide detectives investigate the case of a schoolteacher who leaves for work one morning and never arrives. As they probe into the circumstances of the teacher's disappearance, the detectives uncover disturbing facts about the man's relationships with students as well as secrets hidden by his wife, son, and daughter.
In parallel with the missing person case, Steve Frames helps the Narcotics Investigation Team interrupt a shipment of heroin and methamphetamines—an effort that has a surprising intersection with the schoolteacher's disappearance.
Meanwhile Eden Somers is thrust back into the FBI's hunt for the Highway 60 serial killer, which haunted her in The Silenced Women. While she resists involving herself in the evidence, she is compelled by the revelation that the prime suspect has her personal contact information.
The Day He Left is a fast-paced, immersive mystery that takes us more deeply into the lives of the VCI detectives.
Praise & Reviews
"[The] investigation is described in one of the novel's many luscious passages as looking for 'that place in the rear view mirror where the unravelling began.' . . . a tantalizing mystery . . . . a beguiling mix of literature and crime."
"[An] excellent sequel to 2021's The Silenced Women . . . Weisel does a terrific job blending police procedural with character study."
—Publishers Weekly starred review
"An excellent police procedural raised to a higher level by the in-depth look at the lives of the people who work the crimes."
"Compelling and utterly original, both as a procedural and a novel of human frailty, Frederick Weisel's The Day He Left begins as a missing-persons investigation that blossoms into a much larger story touching all of the players, detectives and survivors alike: a novel written with remarkable compassion and understanding."
—J.P. Smith, author of The Drowning
"An excellent police procedural . . . Weisel manages to make the minutiae of police work mesmerizing . . . Get in on the ground floor with this series. You won't be sorry."—Dana Stabenow, author of the award-winning, best-selling Kate Shugak series
"Frederick Weisel expertly weaves together an intriguing cast of characters in The Day He Left, pulling us along for the ride at breakneck speed. Atmospheric, peppered with humor, laced with suspense, this story kept me on my toes until the very last page."
—Gina LaManna, USA Today bestselling author

This popular beach gets its name from the Palace of the Dukes of Palmela (Palacio do Duque de Palmela) which overlooks it. Along with adjoining Praia de Conceição, this is the most easily accessed beach from Cascais town and the train station. As such it can get pretty busy in the summer months.
At lower tides Praia de Duquesa and Conceição beaches join together to form one sandy stretch. As the tide comes in they are separated by the Faial Chalet the former Court of Justice for Cascais province, however you can still walk between the two beaches on the Estoril-Cascais coastal promenade.


Technology in the school market has never been hotter-or more difficult. The opportunities for systems contractors to get a piece of the action are everywhere, but the game has changed, requiring a broader portfolio of products and skills from top notch firms.
The days of VCRs, TVs, overhead projectors and other "low-tech" instructional media delivery are rapidly going away, being replaced by DVDs, computers (showing everything from web pages and images to PowerPoints and spreadsheets), document cameras, smart white boards and even streaming media, all connected to video projectors and sound systems and controlled by custom graphical interfaces. While this trend has been solid in the higher education market for some time and is reaching a fevered pitch, the K-12 segment is now starting to catch on to this high-tech trend. This trickle-down effect bodes well for traditional "school communications" contractors who have carved out a living providing intercoms, TV systems, sound systems and life safety systems in the K-12 market and want to keep building upon the relationships they have worked so hard to create.
In navigating new educational technology sales opportunities while maintaining the bottom line, your solid customer relationships are vital. Now they have to expand within a given organization or school district as well as with more and more architects and engineers. If you have a relationship with the facilities department, you are going to have to get to know the IT decision-makers. If you have a relationship with a principal or teacher, you will need to be as comfortable with the superintendent and school board. If you have a good rapport with the purchasing department, you will need to be prepared to present your solutions to the community technology committee (or offer to serve on the technology committee). The fact is that school technology decisions are many times-but not always-a distributed decision process (DDP). A DDP involves the usual stakeholders you would expect in a given decision and others you never thought would be involved. A thorough understanding of the people and the roles they play in the decision process is paramount to a successful alignment with whoever holds the power.
William Flannigan said that technology itself never solved any problems; it's how we use the technology that matters. The days of selling technology for technology's sake are pretty much behind us and everyone from the maintenance people to the teachers, to the administrators and even the public expect technology to do something practical and to be of value. The classic approach to this challenge would be to craft a financial return on investment (ROI) model, but with technology obsolescing at a very heady pace, it becomes difficult to say that "you'll be getting more and spending less after x-number of months or years." The truth is they will most likely be replacing technology more often than they would like, so presenting a case beyond initial system features and functions or dollars and cents will resonate better than just talking about how bright your projector is going to look or how cheaply you can sell your system. One place to start is to recognize why we really put technology into schools (besides to make money): to teach people more effectively, faster and cheaper.
A key phrase to keep in mind, underscoring your understanding of more than just boxes and cables, is "educational curriculum," because without a curriculum, there is no means or methods for education. Becoming aware or even an authority of how curriculums are designed, funded and maintained is a strong tool for any systems integrator in the school market. Do you know how often new schoolbooks are purchased? Do you know the people who make the curriculum purchasing decisions? Do you know their budgets? If so, then you can talk intelligently to others in your sphere of influence about common concerns that touch every aspect of why your system is important in growing a "new media curriculum." While these efforts can seem daunting and even painfully disconnected from what you do everyday as a systems integrator, the results can be that you get the business and at a better margin over a competitor that doesn't talk your talk. This is the essence of adding value in a commodity world.
There's more to success in providing advanced AV for education than a smart sales approach. To add real value, you need the requisite technical skills as well. This means that, as a business owner, you now need to understand and embrace technologies outside of your normal comfort zone and continue to do so everyday. Video and data networks, as well as control systems especially can be daunting, not just from the technical side, but in the elegance (or lack thereof) of your design approach. A lot of this basic knowledge is readily available on the internet or via manufacturer or trade association training offerings, but the real value comes from your companies experience and wisdom, traits that take time to obtain over many projects. If you don't have these skills in house, you may just have to hire them in or be left out in the cold. Unless you elevate your game, be prepared to have your lunch eaten by purveyors you know and ones you never thought would steal your job or worse yet, ones you've never even heard of. They are reading this too.


Between 2013 and 2018, the artist and designer Paula Hayes worked in two very different studios. One was the space she designed for herself in the historic Hudson Valley of upstate New York. The other workspace was a bland apartment that she transformed into a careful arrangement of her planted works, in a light-filled space on the 35th floor of a high rise in downtown Brooklyn, NYC. She was searching for higher ground. The movement between two disparate environments lingers as a questing feeling in the work she made in these years.

17 x 15 Plot of Land?
Someone please talk some sense into me. I've got it in my head that it might be a good idea to build a little bunkie style "studio" in my back yard on a plot about 17' x 15'. It would basically be just for me to do mostly ITB recording (some simple acoustic and electric guitar as well) and ITB mixing. I've got some decent gear and I making great money these days. It would be nice to get out of my windowless basement that is 9' x 17'. I understand that I'd probably lose a foot and half on each wall but that still gives about the same amount of square footage. I know nothing about this kind of thing but I'd be willing to spend 30k - 50k on it if it wasn't totally a crazy idea.
Is that way under budget / not worth the time and money to build something that size? I wouldn't need a bathroom or running water. Just heat, electricity, internet. It would also need to be relatively sound proof but nothing too crazy. It's pretty quiet in my area.
Anyway, am I crazy? Maybe I should just put the money into my basement?
Talk to a contractor and see how much it would look like. If thats your thing, and its what you enjoy, I would say go for it. Although with 50K, you could almost sell your house and buy a bigger one. If you have the money, and its what you really enjoy, who is to tell you otherwise what to do with your money?
personally i think the natural light and ventilation is worth it. whether it's worth the cost in your situation is another question that i guess only you can know.
from the diy studios i've done the main focus has always bee nthe music but they end up doubling as listening rooms for cd/vinyl playback and the current one gets used for the xbox also. the current one really lacks a connection to the outside (due to exisitng conditions) and that does take something away from the space.

the Utah Interpreter Program (UIP) website for ASL interpreters is in need of a rebuild. The UIP website has multiple functions.
• The first is for potential interpreters to learn about the requirements to become certified and to pay for certification.
• The second function is for staff to record payment, review final testing scores and maintain a list of current certified interpreters.
• The third function is for ASL raters to enter in applicant interpreters' scores for each of the tests the applicant takes. The website uses GovPay to process payments, but still requires manual intervention to record the payment to the applicant's record.
The new Utah Interpreter's Program website will be on jobs.utah.gov and hosted by Department of Technology Services (DTS). Interpreters will also be able to get to the site using uip.utah.gov and then be redirected back to the jobs.utah.gov website.
Interpreters: There will be a public facing website where interpreters' login to manage their certification process. Interpreters will use the site to login, register and schedule testing, pay for tests through GovPay, maintain continuing education hours, upload documents, and manage recertification processes.
Raters: Raters are interpreters as well. They will also login into the public facing site to receive and complete work assignments. They will get assigned physical exams to score and rate and then be able to report those scores through the application.

Additionally she has chaired at Python Ireland and the annual PyCon Ireland event in the past. I was especially curious to see if there are particular areas that women working in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) might gravitate towards. According to Vicky, it's mainly business analysis, management and areas in Big Data (analysis and visualisation): "From what I see, there is a move away from technical roles like programming because the perception can be that there is no satisfaction in those roles, especially when it comes to career progression. Maybe it's the feeling of exclusion in projects which can be unintentionally biased to their male counterparts, most of all though, it could boil down to impostor syndrome".
The gender gap is a hot topic across all sectors in the employment industry and in the world at large, thankfully Vicky doesn't feel that this is especially visible in the tech sector and that co-workers are supportive of closing the gap.
Final thoughts from Vicky include imparting some wisdom for Women in Tech hoping to make a real difference, "Get involved with local tech events, offer to mentor at kids/young people's coding clubs".

Madagascar 2 IMAX version getting extended run
IMAX and DreamWorks announced today that the IMAX release of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa has been extended to include the Thanksgiving holiday, and will now run into December. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa will also play for the full run in new IMAX Digital theatres, which began rolling out this summer. These theaters are equipped with the new IMAX digital projection systems.
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa joins three other DreamWorks Animation movies previously announced and slated for release in the IMAX format, the others of which, are the studio's first three 3D titles, including Monsters vs. Aliens (due March 2009), How to Train Your Dragon (March 2010), and Shrek Goes Fourth (May 2010).
The move is directly related to the recent release date shift for the next Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which was originally to be released during the holiday season this year, but was pushed by Warners to July 2009, because of production delays related to the writers strike and SAG negotiations. The move left a hole in the IMAX release schedule that needed to be filled quickly.
In Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, all of the loveable characters are back, including Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo, King Julien, Maurice and the penguins. Left marooned on the distant shores of Madagascar, the New Yorkers have hatched a plan so crazy it just might work. With military precision, the penguins have repaired an old crashed plane, sort of. Once aloft, this unlikely crew stays airborne just enough to make it to the wildest place of all – the vast plains of Africa itself. Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith, Sacha Baron Cohen, Cedric The Entertainer and Andy Richter all return to their original roles.

Why liberal arts degrees are more valuable than you might think
Scott Stirrett
Contributed to The Globe and Mail
Published March 7, 2017 Updated May 17, 2018
What are you going to do with your humanities degree? This is a question that almost anyone who has studied the humanities faces at some point from a skeptical relative or friend.
The belief that humanities graduates, which can include those who studied philosophy, literature, religion, art, music, history and language, bring little or no value to the work force is unfortunately an all too common narrative in our society.
With a surge in demand for technical graduates, it is easy to see why one would question the value of a humanities degree. STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) graduates bring vital technical skills to Canadian startups, which are in short supply. At Venture for Canada, we have seen this demand first-hand and as a result have gone out of our way to recruit STEM talent for Canadian startups.
Nevertheless, when building a team, it is important that entrepreneurs hire individuals from all academic backgrounds, which means seeking out and hiring more humanities graduates as well, recognizing the unique skill-sets and experiences these individuals can bring.
Every academic discipline equips individuals with valuable tools and perspectives. Part of building a diverse workplace is ensuring there is a diversity of academic backgrounds. As a consequence of different life experiences and training, a chemical engineer is likely to see an issue differently than an art history graduate. The best, plans, strategies, and ideas are hashed out through bringing many unique perspectives to the table.
This has been backed up by countless studies, which have proven that companies that foster diversity are more successful than those that don't. As a recent Harvard Business Review article argues, "diversity unlocks innovation by creating an environment where 'outside the box' ideas are heard." Companies where everyone thinks similarly are less likely to innovate and more likely to embrace tunnel vision and group think.
Making a similar point, Steve Jobs said that "it's in Apple's DNA that technology alone is not enough – that it's technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the result that makes our hearts sing." Jobs also commented that "creativity is just connecting things" and "the broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better design [users] will have." Teams with minimal academic diversity are not as easily able to connect seemingly unrelated experiences or concepts, because their collective backgrounds are less diverse.
In the same vein, Jeff Bezos, CEO/founder of Amazon, is a bibliophile who requires senior executives to write six-page memos, which are read by attendees at the beginning of meetings. In a Fortune profile, Bezos says "there is no way to write a six-page, narratively structured memo and not have clear thinking."
Writing a 40-page paper on Hamlet may seem like a waste of time if one is planning on working in business. However, the exercise of writing that paper is as much or more about sharpening one's communication and logic skills as it is learning about Shakespeare.
In a 100-person software company, as many as 40 of the employees will likely work in sales alone. In roles such as marketing and sales, the ability to communicate effectively is paramount, which means studying the humanities is a great training to potentially excel in these fields.
Studying the humanities also equips one with skills useful for inter-cultural understanding and communication. Through studying and reading about the history, religion, culture, and philosophy of other countries, an individual is able to develop a heightened understanding of how different societies function, which can help in everything from small-talk to closing international sales deals.
In addition, numerous studies have demonstrated how reading fiction develops empathy by forcing readers to put themselves in others' shoes. In a world where inter-personal skills are ever important, the humanities help to develop core skills essential to most careers.
These findings have also been backed up by my experience leading Venture for Canada, where we have seen the substantial number of humanities graduates, who we recruit, train, and support in the transition to working in startups, thrive in their roles.
There is no better time than today for small businesses to hire humanities graduates, who are a considerably untapped area of the work force.
Next time you see on a résumé someone has studied art history or political science – don't rule the person out – he or she could be your next great hire.

I've been experiencing acute arm pain for over 5 months now. It's not really a constant pain, but I feel it the most in the morning right after I wake up. I've been always assuming that it's parasthesia because most of the time, if not always, I sleep on my left arm which makes me think that I somewhat damaged the nerves by putting too much pressure on my arm. However, I've never experienced any tingling or numb sensations, but just plain acute pain on my triceps muscle. I also recall that I used to wake up a couple of times in the middle of the night with a really numb arm. Sometimes during the day, when I lift up my arm I feel that pain too but no numbness or tingling.
I work out and when I do certain exercises, bench press in particular, my left upper arm feels so weak that I feel like dropping weights.
If anybody knows what this can be please reply to this thread. Thank you.
