The interview went well and you're pretty sure the job is a great match for your skills and experience. You're optimistic, and waiting to hear the result. Is there anything you can do to increase the chances of a job offer?
There's no such thing as a perfect interview, and there's always something you could have added. Candidates probably spend more time regretting what they said at interview than they did planning their answers. It's natural that you miss something under pressure, or you think of a better answer while driving home. So should you get in back in touch with the employer to provide extra information?
This requires a judgement call on whether this is overselling or a useful way of re-establishing contact. Are you ticking an empty box, or throwing in more material in the hope that some sticks? If you really have missed something vital, get in touch – as long as it's a piece of your experience which matters.
If you're aiming at a target you've already hit, think again. Mentioning things that are only vaguely relevant sounds like unwelcome persuasion to swing the decision in your favour. If you frequently need to email after an interview to provide vital information, your interview preparation could be lacking in focus.
Be clear and concise
If you do decide to contact the interviewer afterwards, decide which key points you are going to make – have a few bullet points written out.
Think about the quality of your answers in the interview. Was there a question you could have answered better? Whether it's in the closing moments or two days later, be clear about what to add. Bearing in mind the key requirements of the role, tell interesting stories to ensure your abilities stick in the interviewer's memory.
Also consider how you introduce extra evidence. It should sound conversational, useful, and practical rather than exerting leverage. Any pressure you exert will usually be counter-productive or make you sound desperate, rather than well-equipped, for this job.
Giving yourself some extra edge after an interview is possible, but it takes style and skill. Too often it can sound like you're pushing for a decision, or asking for special consideration – both are irritating for busy interviewers.
Nurture a relationship
If you're told that a hiring decision is going to be made within 24 hours there may be no need to reinforce a good interview, but a friendly email does no harm – ideally one that throws in one small but important piece of evidence. If the process is more extended, maintain your visibility by getting in touch, even if it's just to say thank you.
How to avoid the biggest interview mistakes
Build on the good relationship cultivated in the room. Even hardened interviewers like to think that the process has gone well, so if you want to follow up, say: "I know you've got more candidates to see but I just wanted to thank you for a really enjoyable meeting". Then say why the interview was a good experience.
One bit of old-fashioned advice about nurturing relationships still works remarkably well. A handwritten card says something about the time and care you've put into your response. A card with an attractive image is harder to throw away than a letter – managers sometimes keep these cards on notice boards for months, which means you're remembered far longer than the average candidate.
Another way of reconnecting is to communicate something which has nothing to do with the job. Maybe something came up during the conversation and you have some helpful information you can pass on as a follow-up. Perhaps make a phone call to say: "Thanks again for an enjoyable interview, I'm just about to email a copy of the article I mentioned."
If you re-connect before a job offer, don't plead or pile on new data, just add one or two highly relevant points, and otherwise say thanks for an enjoyable discussion or meeting – note the subtle avoidance of the word interview. Suggesting it was a gathering of like-minded people reinforces the idea that you're already part of the family.

This interview took place on: May 31, 2018.
Click here for Lacey Sturm's Artist Profile page.
JFH (Nicole Vacca): Compared to The Reason and The Mystery, how was your process for writing The Return similar or different?
Lacey Sturm: The Reason and The Mystery were written by going back through parts of my life that unfolded as this crazy glorious story, with a clear beginning, middle and victorious ending. The Return is not one long story that has an ending, but it is an intentional reflection on many seasons of my relationship with God that is still unfolding.
JFH (Nicole): How do you handle "writer's block"?
Lacey: I guess the same way I handle when I lose my voice on tour. I just pray for myself, and in a sort of blind-leap fashion, just try to sing anyway. I just write anyway. Sometimes it's awful [and] it gets thrown out, but most of the time there are gems within the discipline to just get work done that is worth the choice to push through even if it's embarrassing or difficult. But I have to add, one of the points I make in The Return is that staying in dialogue with God is so key when we work. It really should be out of love, faith and rest that we go about our work, recognizing that it's a privilege, an honor and a gift to go on whatever adventure with God he has for us when we say yes to him. And also to trust him when he says no. One time, I had a deadline and needed to write 20,000 words by the end of the day. And I kept feeling like I was supposed to rest and worship and spend the day praying and just being still. The more I ignored the ridiculousness of the feeling in the midst of the circumstance, the more I felt this strife-filled weightiness that comes when I ignore what God is saying. I began to realize that I was ignoring God to check off a to-do list. So I stopped and spent the day obeying this sense of needing to be still and wrote nothing. At the end of the day, I had this invasive thought that I should go over some notes I'd made from a few years ago. When I pulled them up, there was a perfect piece of writing for the chapters I needed to turn in that was 22,000 words! All written and better than anything I could have strived for while ignoring God. So as cliche as it sounds- honestly, my method is prayer and obedience.
JFH (Nicole): I really enjoyed seeing your husband Josh's artwork throughout The Return. What was the process like for designing and choosing the illustrations?
Lacey: It was difficult for my husband and I to work together on The Return in the beginning, just like it was difficult in the beginning to work on music together. We had to adjust to each other's way of working and it was challenging. But in the end, the process enriched our marriage and relationship and creativity in every way. Josh found a facet of his voice as an illustrator that he didn't realize he had. He ended up just illustrating many things that came to mind as he thought about the subjects of the chapters, and sometimes as he just daydreamed about stuff that had nothing to do with the book. When we pulled all his work together, it all lined up perfectly and communicated the messages so well. I continue to marvel at the way he communicates through design.
JFH (Nicole): Reading through Chapter 7: Heart Song reminded me of my current plight with consistently spending time with God. It sometimes bothers me that I look forward to other things more than I look forward to reading the Word and praying. Do you have any advice for believers who see reading the Bible and praying daily as more of a chore than a pleasure?
Lacey: I try to begin my time in the scripture with being very honest with God...the way I would if my time with my husband felt like a chore...I'd be honest and see how he responds. Then I would ask God to let me hear what he wants to speak as I read. I would only read until my heart flutters or something makes me stop and wonder...especially if it is offensive in some way. Then I would pray for revelation from the Holy Spirit about whatever it is and 'chew' or meditate on it. I would be careful not to move past it until I learned whatever it was that God was trying to say to my heart or at least found some peace about it. I find so much mental and soul wrestling leads to directions and answers when I pay attention to these moments when they start and pray through them and read more about them. And I'm very careful to not try and just look for the answer I want to hear, while at the same time trusting the Lord is good even when I don't understand, just like I would do with my husband and want him to do with me.
JFH (Nicole): What inspired you to include the "Interlude" chapter in The Return?
Lacey: Ha! Good question. Well, as I communicate a message in any form -- song or book or even just try and teach my kids something -- I find immediately the message is challenged. Like Jesus said, that the only way we can take a 'speck out of our brother's eye' or teach them or help them is if we can 'remove the log' from our own eye. So the challenge always feels comical to me, because it's like God is saying, "oh, you want to teach people how to steward their gifts? Well, what do you do when I move all the solid ground you're standing on that makes you feel like you know what you're talking about?" I wanted that to come across in The Return. That, even when we think we know how to love God back or steward our lives, God could change all our circumstances in a moment, and we would have to adjust everything we thought we knew. It's important that we know that loving God is not a line-in-the-sand, rule-following, religious fashion-show that makes people feel bad about themselves so we can feel better about ourselves because we know how to "love God." God is not a long dead ancient fable that left us a stack of rules to follow. He is living and active and interactive and invites [us] into a deep and very real relationship. And he is God. We will always need to learn, grow and be humble enough to let him correct and change us from the inside out. I wanted to show that with the interlude...haha...great question.
JFH (Nicole): As I read Chapter 12: Light of Freedom & Diamond of Truth, it really drove home for me that, across the Kingdom of God, it is nearly impossible to find two believers who think exactly the same about life, but this is okay since we can learn from one another and most of our differences don't affect our eternal standing with God. How do we live out this truth in a culture where people are easily offended by differences in opinion?
Lacey: I guess I really beg God for his eyes to see other people with. I've noticed that the online world seems very offended about so many things, but the face-to-face world is really much more perceptive when they can see our genuine love. I think they are starved for authentic face-to-face Agape, Phileo, and Storge love, and when they see that Love, it is like tasting water in a desert. They are much more receptive than we would expect them to be when we love this way. I think I also try to question myself first, before I question the other person. It helps to remember that God's fingerprints are on all his creation and that difference of DNA and perspective in each one around us is significant to what God wants us to learn from. That should humble us to say, "God, what are you saying through this person whom I don't understand?" Often, it is much deeper than the face-value surface issues we fight so loudly about. When [we] ask this of God, we have to really humble ourselves to receive that growth that each one around us is meant to bring to our souls. I know, for a while, my husband simply prayed daily for God to remove offense from his heart and he really saw a change. As he became 'un-offendable' in most cases, he began to understand and carry God's supernatural love for others. As he does this, people notice and tend to lose offense as well. So I guess the answer is to genuinely love.
Lacey: I wanted to show how I grew in practical ways, weekly, in my relationship with God from the time I first encountered Him to now. I read to my boys from the One Year Bible every day, but generally, for my personal time, I like to write out questions I'm wrestling with, and then look for what the Bible says about the things I'm struggling to understand. I find the scriptures dealing with these issues through concordances. I have used Quest Study Bible, The Student Bible, Life Application Study Bible, and lots of other concordances to find the scriptures to answer my questions. I also love the Daily Light suggested to me by Jane Graham, Franklin Graham's wife, who heard of it from Ruth Graham, who read it every day since the age of ten. It's now part of my daily reading as well. But we are actually working on creating a bible study program for people who want to go through The Return together that will come with a journal and scripture suggestions for daily reading. I'm so excited to offer this very soon to people who really want to do a bible study with me! Maybe you could sign up when it comes out? It should be out very soon!
JFH (Nicole): There were a few original songs that I have not seen before which you quoted in the journal sections between chapters, like "Sacred" and "Seed Sown in Tears." Will these songs will be released in the future?
Lacey: Yes! They will be part of what we are calling "The Return Soundtrack" or something like that. It will be available with the bible study for the twelve weeks we go through it and then will probably be available on its own for people who just want the music.
JFH (Nicole): Thank you for taking the time for this interview and for writing The Return: Reflections on Loving God Back. I have one more question: if you could choose any superpower, what would it be?

David Brooks' new buzzed-about New York Times op-ed is enough to make even the most hardened Ted Cruz-hater say "Hey, ease up, man. Too mean!"
Conservative New York Times columnist and quasi-Obama EndorserDavid Brooks is out with a new op-ed that is getting hot and copious buzz for its utterly brutal dismemberment of Ted Cruz, whom Brooks ironically accuse of "brutalism" right in the headline. As loath as I am to step into the path of this Nolan Ryan fastball at Cruz's head, there is some yellow business going on in Brooks' piece.
Ted Cruz is now running strongly among evangelical voters, especially in Iowa. But in his career and public presentation Cruz is a stranger to most of what would generally be considered the Christian virtues: humility, mercy, compassion and grace. Cruz's behavior in the Haley case is almost the dictionary definition of pharisaism: an overzealous application of the letter of the law in a way that violates the spirit of the law, as well as fairness and mercy.
Cruz's speeches are marked by what you might call pagan brutalism.
Ted Cruz didn't come up with this hard, combative and gladiatorial campaign approach in isolation.
This Trump-Cruz conservatism looks more like tribal, blood and soil European conservatism than the pluralistic American kind.
...If you watch a Cruz speech, it's like, we have got this enemy, we have got that enemy, we're going to stomp on this person, we're going to crush that person, we're going to destroy that person. It is an ugly world in Ted Cruz's world. And it's combative, and it's angry, and it's apocalyptic.
As much as I might agree with some of Brooks' points, particularly the virtuoso inauthenticity he singles out, the irony of Brooks accusing Cruz of being pharisaical (which is also defined as "marked by hypocritical censorious self-righteousness") is just too thick. While he rips Cruz for a lack of Christian virtue on the surface of his piece, Brooks is using the subtext to blow the same dogwhistles that Donald Trump blares like a trombone: Cruz is a "stranger" who is just like those guys who wanted Jesus killed, and those other guys who carried out the deed, and also those other people who don't even believe in Jesus. There's a way to express what Brooks is saying without making reference to the Pharisees, the Romans, two references to Pagans, and oh yeah, SATAN!
The thing is, I don't actually care how racist Republicans go against Ted Cruz, because this is a bed of his own making, but I'm sure as hell going to point it out, especially when said Republican is bleating on about what a great evangelical Christian ought to do. If history is any guide, the answer is "Elect Jimmy Carter," since he's the only real one of them who's ever won. Brooks has some sort of imaginary Sasquatch unicorn evangelical voting bloc in his mind that has ever given us anything but cuts to social welfare programs, restrictions on women's health care, and lists of people to kick the f*ck out of our country.
This is the time for every Republican to come to terms with what they've been doing for the last 40 or 50 years, which is either actively stoking the ugliness they're all fanning themselves over now, or sitting by tolerating and benefiting from it. If you don't like it, there's room for you in the Democratic Party, or a stool by the bar at Club Shut the F*ck Up.


Let's talk chemistry. When wine is discussed, the focus is almost exclusively on the grape vine, Vitisvinifera, in its many varieties. But there are two other organisms crucial to wine production that are often forgotten about. The first is the yeast, Saccharomyces, without which our favourite tipple would just be grape juice. The second – and the subject of this article – is the oak tree, Quercus.
An odd choice, you might think. However, oak's accidental association with wine has been a critical one. The majority of fine red wines are dependent on oak barrels for a vital component of their flavour, as are a good number of whites.
The reason oak barrels were initially chosen for storing wine had nothing to do with the flavouring effects they have: it's simply that in the past barrels were used as all-purpose containers, and oak is a tight-grained wood capable of making leak-proof barrels ideal for storing liquids in. The shape of the barrel makes it extremely strong and once on its side it can be moved by rolling, even when full. Fully-closed barrels were first developed during the Iron Age (800-900 BC), and by the first century BC were widely in use for holding wine, beer, milk, olive oil, and water but wood had been used for open vessels in ancient Egypt since 2500 BC.
The barrel manufacturing process involves heating the staves over a brazier so that they can be bent into shape. Somewhat fortuitously, this slight charring – referred to as 'toasting' – coupled with the chemical properties of the wood, means that the interaction of the wine with the inside of a new barrel imparts pronounced flavour characteristics to the wine. When used appropriately, new barrels can have a significant beneficial impact on the wine that is aged in them.
Another equally important, but less talked-about, effect of ageing wine in barrels is that this allows a very slight and controlled exposure to oxygen. Normally, winemakers do all they can to avoid exposing their wines to air, but in this case the low-level oxidation that barrels permit is beneficial to the structure and character of the wine. "Angels' share" is a term for the portion (share) of a wine's volume that is lost to evaporation during aging in oak barrels. This aids in the polymerization of tannin into larger molecules, which are perceived on the palate as softer. This very gradual oxidation results in decreased astringency and increased colour and stability. It also evolves the fruit aromas to more complex ones. Through a program of topping the wine (filling up the barrel) while it is in the barrel and racking the wine from barrel to barrel to clarify it, just enough oxygen is introduced to the wine to have these beneficial effects over a period of many months.
So how does oak actually affect the flavour of the finished wine?
Oak wood is composed of several classes of complex chemical compounds, each of which contributes its own flavor or textural note to both red and white wines. For red wines, such as Shiraz or Cabernet, barrels often add a little spice, enhance the structure, and may add some sweet vanillin characters. A white wine, such as Chardonnay, that has been fermented and aged in barrels will often have a noticeable nutty, buttery character along with the spice and vanilla characteristics that reds often pick up. Barrel aged wines are generally a little more complex and have a more interesting texture than those aged in tank, although some white grape varieties, such as Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc rarely benefit from being oaked.
A key difference in the effect of oak barrels is whether they are made of French or American oak. If you ever get a chance to try side-by-side cask samples of the same wine aged in French and American oak, take it: the differences are marked. The relatively wide-grained American oak imparts a much stronger flavour, with more obvious sweet vanilla flavours and spicy notes. French oak has a more subtle, slightly more savoury effect. Producers have to decide which suits their wine better, although cost can be a factor here: French barrels are much more expensive than American ones. The degree of 'toast' and even the manufacturer of the barrel are also important factors in the effect barrels have on the wine.
A crucial variable here is the age of the barrel. New barrels impart the most flavour, and this effect is subsequently diminished with each re-use of the barrel, such that third-use barrels don't add much flavour at all. Many producers juggle their barrels carefully, ageing their wine in a mix of new and used barrels to avoid over-oaking it. Great care must be taken with the use of older barrels, since they can harbour bacteria and yeasts that might contaminate the wine.
Because new barrels are expensive, their use is usually reserved for premium wines. But winemakers are only human: they want the beneficial effects of oak for their cheaper wines as well, without the high cost. As a result, barrel substitutes have become increasingly popular. These can range from small oak chips in teabag-like nets to barrel staves bolted into the inside of the tank. Results can be variable, and are generally not as good as those achieved by barrels. If you see the words 'oaked' on the label of an inexpensive wine without mention of barrels, the chances are one of these alternative techniques has been used.
A hi-tech twist on this theme is a technique called micro-oxygenation. This process aims to simulate the gradual, low-level exposure to oxygen that occurs in barrel. A specialized device is set up inside the tank that releases a slow stream of tiny oxygen bubbles in a controlled manner. It's a technique that's becoming widely adopted. Converts claim that it enhances the structure, stabilizes the colour, and removes unwanted vegetal notes from red wines treated in this fashion. Increasingly, micro-oxygenation is being used in tandem with oak chips in a sophisticated emulation of the process of barrel ageing, but at a much-reduced cost.
However whatever happens in the future, it seems likely that the historical association between wine and oak is likely to be an enduring one. So we may say that it is a happy, historical coincidence that wine and wood marry together to form a richer, more complex flavor and texture than wine would have were it stored in a totally non-reactive container.

September 13, 2018 - Eastern Florida State College bachelor's program student Susan Slaton has won a prestigious state honor for her volunteer work on campus and in the community.
Susan Slaton's volunteer service continues to earn honors, including the 2018 Florida Campus Compact Award. In this 2016 photo Slaton, pictured left, is named a Citizen Scholar, presented by Dr. Sharon Cronk-Raby.
Slaton, a student assistant on the Cocoa Campus, is the recipient of the 2018 Florida Campus Compact Student Excellence in Service Award for the 28-member Florida College System.
A grandmother and the first member of her family to attend college, Slaton was cited for a wide range of work that benefited fellow students and residents of the Space Coast.
She has volunteered 900 hours with the college's Service-Learning and Civic Engagement program, advising students and working with the college's Rotaract Club to help disadvantaged youth.
Her involvement with other civic organizations includes Brevard Children in Need, which helps 1,600 homeless children, Crosswinds Youth Services, Junior Achievement and United Way Brevard.
"For me, volunteering is a way of life, and an act of self-definition. I enjoy helping others in our community, but I also feel that it is part of my responsibility as a member of that community," said Slaton.
Slaton was honored as a Service-Learning program Citizen Scholar when she received an Associate in Arts Degree from EFSC in 2016 and is now studying for a Bachelor's Degree in business.
In 2017, she received another major statewide honor – the Florida Campus Compact Newman Civic Fellows Award.

Beijing Has Fewer Blue Sky Days in First Quarter as Factory Activity Picks Up
By Li Rongde
Bicyclists ride along Beijing's smog-shrouded Wangfujing Street on Dec. 31. The Ministry of Environmental Protection said the concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 particulate matter in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area rose sharply year-on-year in the first three months of 2017. Photo:IC
(Beijing) — Beijing's air became more toxic in the first three months of the year, and the numbers of days with heavy pollution went up compared with the same period last year amid an uptick in manufacturing activity.
The Chinese capital and its neighbors — Tianjin and Hebei province — saw the concentration of PM2.5, a major air pollutant, rise by 26.7% from January through March, according to the Ministry of Environmental Protection. The number of blue-sky days dropped to 47 from 54 days in the same period last year.
The level of fine cancer-causing particulates — those with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers — increased to 95 micrograms per cubic meter of air on average, data released by the ministry on Monday showed. According to World Health Organization (WHO) standards, PM2.5 levels above 35 micrograms per cubic meter of air is unhealthy.
In the same period and area, the level of PM10 — particulate matter with a diameter of 10 micrometers — rose by 17.6% to 147 micrograms per cubic meter of air.
The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area is home to nearly 8% of China's population, with over 109 million inhabitants.
According to the WHO, both PM2.5 and PM10 particulates can penetrate deep into the lungs and the bloodstream and thereby increase the risk of lung cancer, heart attacks, asthma, premature delivery and birth defects.
The grim figures comes as another recent assessment by academics showed that air quality in northern China has not improved during winters over the past few years, even though authorities have spent millions to curb air pollution in the area.
The ministry attributed the spike in toxic pollutants to an uptick in industrial activity from January to March. The official Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) that is published by the National Statistics Bureau, which tracks orders and output, rose to 51.8 in March, up from 51.3 in January and 51.6 in February. That was the highest reading since April 2012 and well above the 50 mark that divides expansion from contraction.
Citing remote satellite imaging data, the ministry also said the concentration of nitrogen dioxide, a major pollutant from vehicle emissions, rose noticeably in both the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area and the Pearl River delta area.
Warmer weather in the Arctic region that resulted in weaker winds in northern China also resulted in more polluted days, the ministry said.
Six of the cities in Hebei, including provincial capital Shijiazhuang, were among the 10 most polluted cities in China in the first three months of the year, the ministry said.
Urumqi in the Xinjiang region, Xi'an in the northwestern province of Shaanxi, Taiyuan in the coal-rich province of Shanxi, and Zhengzhou in Henan province were the other four that made it to list of 10 cities with the worst air.
In China's manufacturing heartland in the Pearl River Delta, PM2.5 levels went up by 25.7% to 44 micrograms per cubic meter of air, and PM10 level rose by more than 19% to 62 micrograms per cubic meter of air, the ministry said.
The Pearl River Delta includes nine cities, including Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and is home to over 40 million people. The number of blue-sky days in this region fell from 87 to 81 in the first three months of the year.

Samsung to launch refreshed Galaxy Tab A 10.1 with S Pen this month
By Shawn Knight on October 25, 2016, 10:00
Samsung fans still reeling from the Galaxy Note 7's recall can look forward to an S Pen after all albeit on a different mobile platform. That's because the South Korean electronics giant will be bringing its Galaxy Tab A 10.1 tablet with S Pen stateside later this month.
The upcoming slate features a 10.1-inch TFT LCD WUXGA resolution (1,920 x 1,200) panel with anti-glare and a blue light filter to reduce eye strain.
Samsung's own Exynos 7870 – a 1.6GHz octa-core (Cortex-A53) chip with Mali-T830 graphics built on a 14nm FinFET process – can be found under the proverbial hood. It'll also come with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of local storage that's fortunately expandable via microSD card slot.
An 8.0-megapixel camera is positioned on the back of the tablet with a 2.0-megapixel shooter up front. 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 LE draw the assignment in terms of wireless connectivity while its 7,300mAh battery can reportedly last for up to 13 hours of continuous video playback. Samsung didn't mention a 4G LTE model so I'm assuming that's not an option for the US version.
A single USB 2.0 port handles charging and wired connectivity duties. It'll ship running Android 6.0 Marshmallow which, with any luck, will get Nougat in the not-too-distant future.
Physically, the slate measures 10.0 inches x 6.46 inches x 0.32 inches and weighs 1.22 pounds. Expect to pay $349.99 when it arrives on October 28 in your choice of black or white color schemes.

Connie's World Adventure!: Medellín, Colombia, Part 2: I Stay in Love with Medellín. Also, Guatapé.
Medellín, Colombia, Part 2: I Stay in Love with Medellín. Also, Guatapé.
I love Medellín, but I feel like it's maybe going to be the death of me. Because it is TOO MUCH FUN.
After a rough night out, Luci and I spent a chill day walking the streets (I did not phrase that correctly), both in El Poblado and some of downtown.
But first, my standard photo with the hostel dog, Ella! Our hostel had a dog and a cat, and they both ran around the hostel wearing jaunty bowties, and they were the CUTEST. And not to depress you, but after I'd left Medellín, Luci stayed another week and told me the cat got run over by a car and died. I cannot tell you how weirdly sad I was about the hostel cat dying.
You know what helps with the day-after hangover? Overpriced, organic, artisanal green juices in mason jars. Because of course they have these in Medellín. Also, I may have loved the mason jar so much (it has a dog on it drinking fruit!!) that I am now hauling it around in my backpack. No, I don't have space to buy souvenirs or anything but I def have room to HAUL AROUND A GIANT EMPTY HEAVY GLASS MASON JAR.
You know what also helps? Ice cream. Ice cream everywhere.
We then wandered on downtown to one of the main plazas, called Botero Plaza - because it has dozens of Botero statues all around. You know, Botero. The artist that makes everything super-fat.
Fat solider. With a view of a fancy cultural center in the background.
Local lore says that if you take a photo with this warrior (named San Antonio), you will find a boyfriend/girlfriend (whatever your sweet little heart desires) in Medellín. Oh, and you have to rub the soldier's package too. Yes, that package.
The ultra-pretty cultural center. Apparently when the artist designed this center, the locals hated it and made fun of the artist all the time, and the artist got angry and left it unfinished. So the locals had to finish it - so they just made the other side white. Seriously, this side looks like this, and the other side is just a blank giant white wall.
My favorite thing about Botero, besides the fact that everything's fat (everything is cuter when it's fat! Botero is a genius!), is that the proportions are all crazy. Like the tiny head of this super-fat horse, compared to its GIANT tail.
That evening, we had a giant group dinner in Medellín, as friends met on previous legs of the trip had all started arriving! L to R: Fede (Argentina), Sarah (US), Becca (US), Luci (Italy), Maria (Germany), Sarah (Germany), Vendela (Sweden; she was on our Galapagos cruise!), annnnnd I cannot remember the other guy's name but he's from Argentina! NAMES ARE HARD.
They made us stop in a lot of little towns on the way to Guatape, one of which is this one. I've forgotten all their names. This one had good juices and fruits?
And then we reached the crowning hallmark of a trip to Guatapé - the rock (called El Peñon de Guatapé, or La Piedra)! It's supposedly 45 MILLION YEARS OLD, and you can climb the 740 steps up the side to get to a stunning viewpoint at the top, which overlooks all of Guatapé and its surroundings.
Giant rock! Tons of stairs!
Then we took a one-hour boat cruise around surrounding Guatapé Lake - here is the rock from our boat! I miss being on a boat.
Who knew Colombia could look like this??
Our tour ended with a brief walking tour and history of the town of Guatapé itself, which by the way, is maybe the cutest little town ever. Look at how cute and tiny the streets/houses are!
The village is famous for its zocalos, or the reliefs that are painted on the side of the houses. In the past, only rich families could afford to have these, but now every house in Guatapé does (partly due to tourism and to improve the aesthetics of the town). Some are just for decoration, while other ones show the profession of the owner.
Here's a zocalo depicting a profession! I LOVE (did they mean to make the shoes look like Tims??). My house would have a relief of me wearing a backpack, with piles of money flying out in every which direction (not indicating that I have piles of money, but rather that piles of money are only outgoing and not incoming).
And the prettiest home ever on the main square. I want to live in a home with flowerpots all over a fancy balcony.
What was supposed to be a quiet night morphed into ending up at a guy's rooftop AirBnB (which had its own balcony overlooking the city) at 5 in the morning. SUCH A PERFECT VIEW.
I love you, Medellín! In fact, I love you so much that I might have missed my flight the next day (kind of on purpose, because of some complex logistics involving my boarding pass, added to the fact that I kind of refused to leave) and spent an extra 2 days here. No worries though, because inter-Colombia flights are only ~$30 - so I just bought another ticket later on.
Unrelated and on a side note, LINDEN IS WEARING THE ALPACA SWEATER I GOT HER IN PERU, and I almost died of the cuteness.
Flights are super, super cheap from the US to Colombia - I met so many Americans in this area of the world, all with crazy stories of how cheap their flights were! So Medellín, I fully plan on being back in you at some point in the future!
On that note, Medellín also happens to be a hotspot for expats working remotely or starting start-ups - I also met tons (TONS) of Americans who've relocated to the city to work remotely or start their own companies, because it's hip and cheap and a great lifestyle. It kind of feels like San Fran, where everyone's like "Hi, I'm starting my own business and I live here now and I'm the wave of the future!" Also, apparently something about tax breaks.
Colombian tourism is popping. Since the end of their super-unsafe-unstable-drug-war era (which has been cleaned up but apparently with some questionable human rights tactics), people have been flocking to the country (and numbers are only growing), as they hear about the beauty of the country, the cheapness, the loveliness of the people, the amazing sites, etc. In 2000, there were only 50,000 tourists. In 2014, this number was 14 MILLION.
There is WiFi in all public squares in Medellín!
In terms of safety, I didn't feel unsafe in Medellín at all (well, especially not ritzy El Poblado) - but you do have to watch your stuff in parts of downtown and other neighborhoods, just like any other big city. A well-known saying is "No dar papayas," which basically means that you don't go around flaunting your valuables (or your "fruits/papayas"), and you will be fine.


Comprehensive Medical Imaging. Quick Answers.
Health issues come with a seemingly endless supply of questions. We know that answers are what bring you clarity and peace of mind, so we work hard to provide them clearly and quickly. At AdventHealth Manchester, formerly Manchester Memorial Hospital, your care team is equipped with advanced diagnostic imaging technology to get you the answers you need — including digital mammograms, MRIs, and CT scans. To help provide you with a precise diagnosis faster, our hospital uses a picture archiving communications system (PACS) that lets us rapidly view digital images from your tests on high-quality computer monitors or CDs. Let us guide you on the road to wellness, starting with getting a clear picture of your health.
Bone Density (DEXA) Scans — Images that measure bone density and detect bone loss, which are used to diagnose osteoporosis. We're also equipped with the Lunar bone densitometer, which measures fat and muscle mass.
Computed Tomography (CT) Scans — Highly detailed X-ray images that let us see your body from hundreds of angles for a more accurate diagnosis.
Digital Mammography — A screening test used to detect early signs of breast cancer by providing precision imaging that's more effective than traditional film mammography.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scans — A safe, radiation-free technique to produce clear and detailed images of your soft tissues.
Nuclear Medicine — A branch of medicine that helps us see how parts of your body are functioning by seeing where radiotracers (taken orally or through IV injection) accumulate in the body.
Ultrasound Imaging — A non-invasive technique that uses sound waves to provide us with images of your organs, tissues, and blood vessels to detect breast cysts, gallstones, tumors, and more.
X-Rays — Quick, painless, and non-invasive imaging tests used to diagnose broken bones and examine your soft tissues. We're equipped with the Picture Archival and Communications System (PACS) which helps us quickly share images to your care team throughout our facility.
With a range of imaging services, we're here to help diagnose your problem with efficiency and precision, empowering you to move forward with your care.
When you understand what's going on with your medical imaging tests, you can feel more confident in your care. We're here to help you feel empowered in your journey by talking you through each step, before, during, and after your test(s). We'll start by talking to you about your medical history, any allergies you may have, and even if you experience claustrophobia.
All medical imaging tests are different, and each can take anywhere between 30 minutes and an hour. Some tests may require you to wear loose clothing or change into a hospital gown. For others, we may ask you to remove metal jewelry or refrain from eating or drinking before the exam. Sometimes, to get a better look inside your body, we may ask you to drink a liquid called a contrast or a radiotracer, or we'll inject it intravenously. Rest assured all of our tests are either non-invasive or minimally invasive, so you won't feel any pain, and most don't require any recovery period.
At every step, we'll make you feel as comfortable as possible, and after your exam we will work to deliver your results with precision and speed. To learn more about what to expect for individual tests, talk to your doctor.
Depending on your needs, you might choose to travel for your care. As part of AdventHealth, your care team can connect you with leading experts throughout our network of care. Know that whichever AdventHealth facility you visit, your care is backed by knowledge and expertise from our vast network of specialists.
Our team of skilled radiologists works with the area's most-advanced medical imaging technologies for faster diagnosis and treatment.
Our multidisciplinary care team offers a wide variety of Imaging Services at locations that are convenient to you. We work to get you your results quickly so you can start getting the care you need. We're also here to help connect you with the resources you need to overcome any roadblocks — whether it's helping you find someone to drive you home after an imaging appointment, or connecting you with support groups for people who share your diagnosis. Because at AdventHealth Manchester, it's not just about healing your body; it's about easing your mind, lifting your spirit, and getting you back to whole health as soon as possible.

A: The easiest way would be to read all lines at once, then search and print:
import sys
import re
com=str(sys.argv[1])
with open("/tmp/sample.txt", 'r') as f:

Studying UX design seemed like a natural progression for Ben, who as a designer, had to put himself into the user's shoes and think about how design would catch user's attention and assist them. By consistently consuming knowledge about UX and UI Design, Ben became hungry to learn more and as such decided to take his UX Design skills to another level.
Throughout the course, Ben's biggest learning was to always go back to understanding the problem and solving the user's pain points.
I am solving and what the user's pain point is. After completing the UX course, Ben's priorities have shifted towards validating users and business problem before jumping into the solution.


A typographic work created for Stefan Sagmeister's assignment "Things I've Learned In My Life So Far". What have I learned? When to drop ideas instead of forcing them to work, and when to push them to their fullest potential. It took over 40,000 stitches and 8 hours of commitment for this piece, so I'd say this definitely falls under the "push" category.

In SQL Server Transport each queue is represented as table inside a database. Depending on the endpoint configuration, each endpoint might use multiple queues/tables e.g. for callbacks.
The Id is a Guid/uniqueidentifier generated by the sending code. It is not used by SQL Server transport itself.
The CorrelationId column contains the value of NServiceBus.CorrelationId header. This value is kept in a separate column to maintain wire-level compatibility with transport Version 2.
The ReplyToAddress column contains the value of NServiceBus.ReplyToAddress header. This value is kept in a separate column to he maintain wire-level compatibility with transport Version 2 and lower.
The Recoverable column should always contain the value 1 to ensure wire-level compatibility with transport Version 2 and lower.
The Expires column contains the optional date and time when the message is going to expire. An expired message is dropped by the transport. Depending on version, expired messages might be actively purged from the queue. For details see discarding expired messages.
The Headers column contains a JSON representation of message headers.
The Body column contains the serialized message body.
The RowVersion column is used to define the FIFO order of the queue. It is auto-incremented by SQL Server (identity(1,1)). The receive message T-SQL query returns a message with the lowest value of RowVersion that is not locked by any other concurrent receive operation.
The clustered index of the queue table is based on the RowVersion column to ensure the new messages are always added at the end of the table.
The following section describes the runtime behavior of SQL Server transport when sending and receiving messages.
Messages are sent by executing an insert command against the queue table.
Messages are received by executing a delete command against the queue table. The delete is limited to a row with the lowest RowVersion not locked by other concurrent delete. This ensures that multiple threads within an endpoint instance and multiple instances of the same scaled-out endpoint can operate at full speed without conflicts.
SQL Server transport operates in two modes: peek and receive. It starts in the peek mode and checks, using a select count query the number of pending messages. If the number is greater then zero, it switches to the receive mode and starts spawning receive tasks that use the delete command to receive messages.
The maximum number of concurrent receive tasks never exceeds the value set by LimitMessageProcessingConcurrencyTo (the number of tasks does not translate to the number of running threads which is controlled by the TPL scheduling mechanisms).
When all tasks are done the transport switches back to the peek mode.
In certain conditions the initial estimate of number of pending messages might be wrong e.g. when there is more than one instance of a scaled-out endpoint consuming messages from the same queue. In this case one of the receive tasks is going to fail (delete returns no results). When this happens, the transport immediately switches back to the peek mode.
The default peek interval, if there is has been no messages in the queue, is 1 second. The recommended range for this setting is between 100 milliseconds to 10 seconds. If a value higher than the maximum recommended settings is used, a warning message will be logged. While a value less than 100 milliseconds will put too much unnecessary stress on the database, a value larger than 10 seconds should also be used with caution as it may result in messages backing up in the queue.

Q: When creating a record off nesting, why isn't the parent id being added to the child? Given the following
Thread
   belongs_to :user

User
   has_many :threads, :through => :thread_members

When I do:
  @user.threads.create(:title => "hello")

In my Thread model I have a before_create, and in that method I and Rails.logger.info self.inspect which outputs:
#<Thread id: nil, user_id: nil, title: "hello" ...

Why is user_id not being assigned? Thanks

A: Check that the @user is already saved, the parent records must be saved before the children get their foreign keys set. Please show the controller code that loads that @user object.


Featuring a 5.7x optical zoom and 5MP CCD the CR30 is a new addition to Ricohu2019s Caplio range.
Featuring a 5.7x optical zoom and 5MP CCD the CR30 is a new addition to Ricoh?s Caplio range.
Pitched as an affordable version of the recently released R3, the R30 includes a Double Retracting Lens System; in which the lens protrudes from the camera while being stored, enabling a 28-130mm wideangle lens to fit into a body 26mm deep.
When working in conjunction with the 5MP CCD, reduced image noise and high-speed focusing is promised from Ricoh?s Smooth Imaging Engine.
For capturing instant photo opportunities, the R30 clocks a shutter lag time of 0.09sec, decreasing to 0.007sec with focus lock, alongside a 1.1sec start-up and 0.5sec, shot-cycle time (with flash off).
Macro mode focuses as close as 1cm and the camera?s Zoom Macro Function automatically selects the optimum focusing distance to ensure a sharp macro photo. Other features include a 2.5in LCD; with adjustable brightness and 12-picture playback, 3:2 picture format and a DB-60 rechargeable battery that can capture 330 photos from a single charge, according to CIPA standards. New to the camera is a diagonal correction function, which automatically recognises askew angles and converts them to rectangles; a feature particularly useful for photographing signs.
The Ricoh Caplio R30 is available now for £219.99, find out more at www.ricohpmmc.com or by calling 020 8261 4031.

SWISS ARTISTS GRAZIELLA Weber-Grassi, left, and Monalice Haener are framed by a pink cutout of the United States that is part of their community art project, which engages people from around the world in discussions about the global economy. Addison County residents can participate by picking up state and country cutouts at the beginning of Friday's Arts Walk at the Middlebury town green gazebo at 4:30 p.m.
MIDDLEBURY — Nestled among his cows in Cornwall, a dairy farmer holds up a large-scale image of Switzerland crafted from pink insulation material.
Down the road, a husband-and-wife pair running a Cornwall farm stand posed with the outline of the United States. A Middlebury shopkeeper hides behind the long, boot-like silhouette of Italy, and a Burlington woman hunkers down beside the image of Africa, posted on the wall of her house.
This is "Suddenly Visible," a community art project masterminded by Swiss artists Graziella Weber-Grassi and Monalice Haener that will be part of the Arts Walk in downtown Middlebury this Friday. Suddenly Visible is an "art virus," Weber-Grassi said, that the two artists hope will jumpstart grassroots conversations about the global financial crisis.
It's a project where the personal meets the political: Individual stories about getting by in tough times brush up against a hodge-podge map that the artists hope will symbolize the extent of the economic recession.
So far, that project has taken them to the homes and offices of Vermonters around the state with large-scale depictions of states, countries and continents cut out of pink insulation material. The subjects of the photographs were asked to choose a country near and dear to their heart with which to pose.
The artists then photographed the individual with their chosen country or state, and interviewed each person about how the recession has affected their life. Those photographs will eventually be part of an exhibit in Switzerland, and have been posted online at www.suddenlyvisible.com.
This week, Suddenly Visible hits Middlebury, when the project will play a central role in Friday's Arts Walk. Beginning at 4:30 p.m., Arts Walk participants can pick up their own cutout pieces of a large-scale map at the gazebo on the Town Green. The evening will also include a procession to the Battell Bridge in downtown Middlebury at 5 p.m. The event will culminate at 7 p.m. in a community conversation about public art and the global economy back at the gazebo.
Meanwhile, many of the venues participating in the Arts Walk will post countries from the map posted in their businesses, and a depiction of the world turned upside down will appear on the side of the Frog Hollow Craft Center building on Mill Street.
Using the symbolism of countries and maps has worked well for the two artists, who pointed out that the pieces of the map reflect both the extent of the global economic crisis as well as the connections between individuals in different countries and regions.
"We're all interconnected," Weber-Grassi said.
But on another level, the use of maps was an "in" for the two artists, who were looking to speak with a cross-section of Vermonters.
For some subjects, that might have a country of ancestry, or a place someone visited once on vacation, or a country someone is longing to see. Certain countries were requested more often than others, she went on — like Norway and New Zealand.
That meant the conversation about place broke the ice, letting Weber-Grassi and Haener ask tough questions about how Vermonters are getting by in the current economy.
For Weber-Grassi, this has meant learning to approach art in a completely new way. She is a painter (a few of her works are on display now at the offices of 92.1 WVTK in the Marble Works in Middlebury), and has typically worked in private.
Some of the stories they've collected so far have been heartbreaking. A dairy farmer in Whiting told the pair that his 150-head herd of cattle will be slaughtered next month because his farm is losing $30,000 every month. Another Whiting resident told the pair that she's lost her job, and has had trouble finding a replacement.
But the two Swiss artists, the project also raises interesting questions about the relationship between Vermont and Switzerland. Both regions are roughly the same size, Weber-Grassi said, though Switzerland's population is significantly larger than Vermont's.
Still, the stories that Vermonters have told the two artists point to one large difference in the attitudes of the two regions, Weber-Grassi went on.
That conversation will continue Friday at the Arts Walk in Middlebury. For more information about the Suddenly Visible "art virus," visit the project online at www.suddenlyvisible.com, and check out the map of photographs the artists have compiled so far.


I have been trying very hard of late to avoid online debates.
It's hard. Â I've been engaging in online debates of one sort or another for almost 25 years now. Â I have strong opinions on things, I love a good debate, and it's difficult to turn away when I see someone arguing for a position that I think is wrong.
But here's the thing. Â I think online debates tend to push us further apart. Â And it strikes me that there are enough forces in this world operating to divide us, and now is a time when division is particularly problematic.
I think most of us would agree on a certain basic set of values.
We don't want the government to tell us how to live our lives.
We want everyone to be able to live their lives in peace, comfort, and health.
We have respect for those who are willing to put their lives on the line for our society.
We think that government has a role to play, but where possible we'd rather see people be able to manage without it.
We respect the right of others to make their own choices.
We believe that people should be able to do what they want with their property.
We think our society should be fair and give equal opportunity to all.
We want our nation to be strong and do well.
I'm sure I could think of others. Â I'm sure you can too.
When an issue involves only one of these values, it's easy.  But there are many issues where different values are in conflict.  And often different people will weigh the different values differently and thus come down on opposite sides of the issues.
Sadly, online discussion in these cases usually comes down to, "You don't believe in value X, so you are a bad person."  "How could you possibly take position Y – that must mean you don't believe in value Z, so you are terrible."  And that generates more heat than light and only ends up pushing us further apart.
I had a friend named Walt who passed away last year. Â While I am a staunch supporter of the Democrats, he was an equally staunch support of the GOP. Â We often disagreed about what the government should do. Â Our debates could get fierce.
But every now and then, we stepped back.  We dove deeper into the issues.  And invariably, we found that our differences came down to differing ways of applying and balancing our similar core values.  We actually agreed a lot more than we disagreed on the fundamentals, even though you'd never know it if you only looked at our political arguments.
With Walt, our debates were a kind of sport. Â Debating politics can be a lot of fun. Â But we could do this because we knew each other well, liked each other a lot, and could assume good will on each others' part. Â For a lot of online discussions – the kind of thing that seems to happen on Facebook – discussions take place between people who barely know each other. Â Or often don't know each other at all – one rubs against friends-of-friends in comment threads and the only thing you know about each other is what is said online. Â It's hard to make an assumption of good will in such cases.
I am trying hard to avoid those conversations.  If I do not know someone well enough to honestly assume good will on his part, I'm going to try my best to avoid entering the fray.  I won't always succeed – a 25-year-old habit is hard to break.  But I'm going to try.  I'm going to try to assume good will on the part of others that I meet online, and I'm going to hope that they will assume the same of me.

Good thing you messaged me..... I was beginning to get really bored of online play.
good. i play on the 360 too.
Haha, how funny you ask me that today. I "officially" decided yesterday to drop him. I feel he has a hard time getting in against turtles and solid steppers and rangers, and to add to all that I only hit iMCF 50% of the time at best =/ I think if my execution was better I'd stick with him.
yo son ur in vegas right?
we can do some sessions?
Haha, I'm glad I made a difference.
I definitely would like to visit Vegas again but I'll need to get more moolah for that.
If you do pop by Singapore, you know who to look for. I can introduce to you the local delicacies here!
sup dude? I havn't played SC 4 for a while is the online dead now?
For sure, I'll most likely be taking you up on that offer.. gotta get tons of practice anyways. If I need more by the time I'm there, it might be too late haha.
Who the hell is Sammy?
How do you like SANTA DOOM? He's hella skilled, huh??
