Q: Does recycling the ASP.NET application kick users out? We have a problem where the solution seems to be to recycle the app pool for a particular site (a CMS issue we have little control of, I won't go into it here).
My question is that while this seems to work, if there are users on the site making payments etc, if we recycle will this kick them off?
Thanks
Duncan

A: In the basic setup, yes.
Assuming your storing whether a user is logged in via session state, the basic ASP.NET setup is to store session state in memory. Recycling the application clears the memory allocated for that application, including the session state.
However, if your session state is configured to not be stored in memory, for example in a database, then no, users should not be kicked off.

A: If you're using InProc session state, their sessions will be abandoned, so yes they may be kicked/logged out. If this is becoming a problem, consider using StateServer or SQLSessionState session modes.

Dr. Brummett is the Director of the Division of Pain Research and, more broadly, is the Director of Clinical Research in the Department of Anesthesiology. His interests include predictors of chronic post-surgical pain as well as failure to derive benefit from interventions and surgeries done primarily for pain. In particular, Dr. Brummett is interested in the impact of a fibromyalgia-like or centralized pain phenotype on surgical outcomes and prediction of response to interventions for chronic pain (e.g. Epidural steroid and facet injections). He also leads an institution-wide initiative to create a biorepository for research of genetic factors associated with the development of disease and response to treatment. In addition, Dr. Brummett was the first to describe the use of peripheral perineural dexmedetomidine, and his early research focused on the efficacy, safety and mechanisms of dexmedetomidine added to local anesthetics for peripheral nerve blocks. He has since translated that work to humans. Please see his recent publications(link is external).
Phenotypic and genotypic predictors of acute and chronic post-surgical pain: Clinical research following surgical patients longitudinally to determine genotypic and phenotypic predictors of acute pain sensitivity and chronic post-surgical pain. Research particularly focused on the role of central pain processing and centralized pain on acute and chronic pain outcomes. Future goals are to develop point-of-care testing for any genetic predictors and patient-report outcomes measures found in the first phases to allow for studies of acute analgesic interventions to attenuate acute pain and potentially prevent chronic post-surgical pain.Impact of central pain on responsiveness to minimally-invasive pain interventions: Clinical research designed to assess phenotypic measures of central pain and assess the impact of centralized pain on the response to the various injections and minimally-invasive interventions commonly performed in pain medicine, in particular facet interventions. Long-term goals are to create better predictive models of success and failure to personalize analgesic regimens.
Additives to local anesthetics to enhance the duration of postoperative analgesia after peripheral nerve blockade: Laboratory and clinical research focused on the development of drug combinations to enhance the duration of analgesia and improve safety following peripheral nerve blocks. Work primarily focused on the use of dexmedetomidine as an additive to local anesthetics.
Peripheral nerve injury: Studies focus on risk factors and predictors of perioperative peripheral nerve injury as a means to better identify patients at risk and implement preventative measures.

St. Vincent Adds a Dainty Touch to the Classic Power Suit
By Rachel Hahn
Photo: Courtesy of Jimmy Kimmel Live! / ABC
When Lady Gaga took to the stage two days ago at the 25th annual Women in Hollywood celebration, she said that after she tried on beaded gowns, silky dresses, heels, and corsets for the occasion, she eventually settled on an oversize Marc Jacobs suit. "I asked myself: What does it really mean to be a woman in Hollywood? We are not just objects to entertain the world. We are not simply images to bring smiles or grimaces to people's faces," Gaga said onstage. "We are not members of a giant beauty pageant meant to be pit against one another for the pleasure of the public."
Gaga's speech was a rallying cry for power-suit dressing, but last night St. Vincent offered another option: The singer stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform "New York" and wore a sharp pinstripe suit cut together with a white puff-sleeve overlay. The masculin-féminin hybrid outfit echoed Gaga's statement but also proved that there's more than one way to feel powerful in clothing.

Does anyone have the incidental music in midi format for Beauty and the Beast ? I have all the song songs, just need the filler music !
Music is what keeps the world turning !!
The license from MTI actually prohibits all sequencing. It is technically illegal to perform to canned music - even if it's only midi! Eeek. Poor HS kids performing to midi? I'd rather hear it only with live piano!

BTU #159 - 28 Years in the Army to Farm Onwer (Charley Jordan) 0
Usually, give an intro giving you a few reason to listen... not doing that this time Just listen to it. One of my favorite episodes, can't imagine a job more different than my own, but also can't imgagine a single career path that wouldn't benefit from hearing Charley's story.
BTU #158 - Lockheed Martin to Residential Real Estate (Sean Ponder) 0
Sean Ponder is an Associate Broker at S&G Realty, where he assists home buyers, sellers, and developers in the Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC areas. He started out at the Naval Academy, after which he served as a submarine officer for five years as part of the crew of the USS Salt Lake City (SSN-716). He worked at Lockheed Martin for nine years before joining S&G Realty.
Real estate! How buying a house and binging on HGTV led to a career in Real Estate. I have been trying for the last several months to get a Veteran in real estate on the show. Sean is the first person I've had not the show to speak about this career path. We also talk about a lot of other topics relevant to any career path. We discuss the Pros & Cons of working with headhunters, and how this may set your salary starting point lower than if you are able to go directly to a company. We also briefly chat about Lockheed Martin, where Sean started the first nine years of his civilian career. We also touch on the Reserves.
BTU # 157 - Employee #500 at Aol (Rob Shenk) 0
Rob Shenk is the Senior Vice President for Visitor Engagement at George Washington's Mount Vernon. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Rob graduated from the University of California at Berkeley. After graduating from Aviation Officers Candidate School and Intel school, Rob joined Strike Fighter Squadron 147 (The Argonauts) as their strike intelligence officer, where he deployed to the Far East and Persian Gulf onboard USS Nimitz. Days after leaving the Navy, Rob joined a then-relatively small company called America Online where he rose through the ranks to become the Vice President of AOL's Personal Finance Channel. After leaving AOL, Rob joined E*TRADE Financial where he eventually rose to manage all the online banking services and cash management products. Rob left E*TRADE to join the Civil War Trust as their first Director of Internet Strategy and Development. He holds a Master of Arts in National Security Studies from Georgetown University and currently lives in Alexandria, Virginia. His son is currently a midshipman at the United States Naval Academy.
Why to Listen:
This is a terrific episode for any member of the Armed Forces. Rob joined Aol as their 500th employee and was there for their growth to over 10,000 employees. He went through a similar process with eTrade. But he got his foot in the door, directly out of the military, by applying to be a customer phone support person! His story is one of failing and taking risks, or being part of an internet revolution, and continuing to change his career path over time. I found his story inspiring and hope that you do as well.
BTU #156 - Attorney at Jenner & Block (LaRue Robinson) 0
LaRue Robinson is an associate at Jenner & Block, one of the 50 most profitable law firms in the United States. He started out at Cornell University, after which he attended Columbia Law School. He served in the Army as JAG Corps officer for four years, prior to starting his career as an Associate at Bryan Cave.
LaRue managed to find a role at one of the most profitable law firms in the United States. He talks about what it's like to work at a law firm, the common career paths associated with this sort of roles, and advice about the interview and application process. LaRue served in the JAG Corps while in the military, so some of his advice is tailored to JAG Corps Officers. However, if you're considering a career in law, he provides some exceptional advice.
BTU #155 - Elite Meet (John Allen) 0
John Allen is the CEO & Founder of Elite Meet, a Non-Profit organization that connects high performing, transitioning veterans, like Navy SEALs and Fighter Pilots, with companies who are looking to hire. He started out at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, after which he served in the Navy as a Navy SEAL for seven years.
There are so many reasons to listen to this episode. First of all, John faced an unexpected transition from Navy SEALs to his own civilian career. While had been planning on going to business school and then doing consulting work, things changed and he found himself with just eight weeks to find a job. Through that process, he started Elite Meet, which is a fantastic resource for transitioning veterans. We talk about Elite Meet, we talk about starting a non-profit, we talk about how to present oneself in the hiring process, and much, much more.
BTU #154 - The Commit Foundation 0
Anne Meree Craig is the Executive Director and Co-Founder, The COMMIT Foundation, which is changing the way highly talented veterans think about transition and creating serendipity for them by fostering mentorship, networking, and inspiration.

They take a very individual approach with each veteran with whom the work, and tailor their approach to help instill veterans with information, confidence, and imagination. Having worked with so many veterans over the years, Anne Meree has some fantastic advice for listeners about interviews - it's some of the best advice this subject I've had on the show.
BTU #153 - The Dip (book review) 0
This is a book review of Seth Godin's book, The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick). I think this is a great book for both Active Duty members of the military, as well as transitioned veterans. It talks about figuring out what you want to be the best at, and going all-in on that one thing. Anticipating the setbacks that will come along the way, and also recognizing when a fight is un-win-able (or not worth the effort).
BTU #152 - Financial Planning & Entrepreneurship (Aaron Milledge) 0
Aaron Milledge is the Co-Founder & Chief Compliance Officer of Targeted Wealth Solutions, an independent Registered Investment Adviser that provides comprehensive wealth management across all stages of their clients' lives.

Well, today's guest, as a financial advisor, has made it his profession to help people take control of their finances. He talks about financial advising as a career path, as well as what it has been like to start his own company.

BTU #150 - Silent Meditation Retreat 0
In the last 149 interviews, a common theme that comes up in interviews is the importance of self-knoweldge: of knowing what one is good at, knowing what gets one energized, and knowing what one wants out of a career and life. For today's Skills episode, I wanted to share my experience with a powerful tool: Meditation and Silent Meditation Retreats. While the benefits of Meditation is well documented with respect to concentration and increased productivity, I wanted to share four different ways in which this may help veterans. The episode covers (1) the basics of meditation, (2) why a veteran may be interested in a silent meditation retreat, (3) an overview of silent meditation retreats, and (4) resources in case you would like to learn more.
Selected Resources:
BTU #123 – The Veterans Yoga Project (Dr. Dan Libby)
Spirit Rock Meditation Center is where I have done my four retreats, and I have also heard very positive things about the Insight Meditation Society
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) - a great introduction to meditation; there are programs around the world that offer MBSR. I took mine through UCSF.

After his active duty service, he received his MBA from Harvard Business School, worked as a Project Leader at the Boston Consulting Group, and worked at the global business service provider, Algeco Scotsman Group.
This is a must-listen-to episode. Patrick covers so much ground in this interview - we talk about choosing a team that is lean and mean; we talk about his experience not being sure of what to do for 5-6 years, wandering from business school to consulting to ultimately finding a place he passionately calls home; we talk about work and life balance and how to think about this as an entrepreneur; and we talk about finance and entrepreneurship. There is so much great advice in this interview!
BTU 148- Taking a Startup Public and Founding a New Consulting Company (Bill Angeloni) 0
Bill Angeloni is the Founder & Director of Tenzing Consulting, a global management consulting firm he co-founded that now has over 850 experts and works with Fortune 1,000 clients and private equity. He started out at the Naval Academy, after which he served as an officer in the Navy for five years (while also earning his MBA from Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management). After his time on Active Duty, he worked at United Airlines doing strategy and operations work, was a Manager at AT Kearney, and a General Manager at FreeMarkets, Inc - a startup where he opened Europe and helped grow to $200M and then took public. After that, he co-founded his own Management Consulting firm, which he has co-led for seven of the last 15 years — he took an 8-year leave of absence to lead a tech company turn around, and start a couple other companies. He has worked with over 30 start-ups over his career and thinks of himself as a bit of a start-up junkie.
Bill has had an eclectic career and covers a lot of ground in this interview. In addition to talking about how to find and join a high-growth startup, he also talks about his experience starting his own consulting company. He also has fantastic advice about networking - how to approach it and why it's so important for veterans to learn how to do this effectively.
BTU 147 - Founding Sport Clips Haircuts & Building 1700 Franchises (Gordon Logan) 0
Gordon Logan is the Founder & CEO at Sport Clips Haircuts, a company that he started back in 1993 and now has over 1,700 locations in the US & Canada.

After his military service, he worked as a financial planning and control consultant with Price Waterhouse & Co. in Houston, Texas. He holds an MBA with Honors from The Wharton School of Business.
In the past I've interviewed veterans involved in Franchises. Gordon started a company that has become a franchise with over 1,700 locations, and many of their franchise owners are veterans. He gives an incredibly vivid look at what it is like to start and grow a company, how to remain fresh and grow with your business, and how failures are never final.
BTU #145 - Active Duty to Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Advisor (Andrew Neuwirth) 0
Andrew Neuwirth is a Private Wealth Advisor at Goldman Sachs. He started out at the Naval Academy, after which he served as a Submarine Officer for seven years. After his military service, he transitioned directly to Goldman Sachs.
Andrew never considered a career in the Financial Services industry until a friend contacted him and told him he should apply for a position... where the application was due in just 18 hours. This led Andrew to learn everything he could about Goldman Sachs and a career as a Private Wealth Advisor. Andrew does a great job of explaining more about the Financial Services industry, and why this may be the ideal career for a military veteran.

He started out at the US Naval Academy, after which he earned his Master of Public Administration at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. He served in the Marine Corps as a Force Reconnaissance Officer for six years, before transitioning to Bain.
Trevor managed to go directly from Active Duty military to Bain & Company, something that less than 7% of military veterans in Management Consulting are able to do. He talks about preparing for one's transition to a civilian career as early as possible, and also being willing to take a step back and take the longview on one's career.
BTU #142 - Failing Forward 0
In this episode, I review a book that I know will benefit every veteran, John C. Maxwell's Failing Forward. Nearly every person I've interviewed on the show has talked about failure - and many, many failures - that they have experienced in their career. This book does an exceptional job of talking about how you can shift your relationship to failure, build up resilience towards it, and how vital this is to achieving great goals in life.

BTU #137 - Patriot Boot Camp & Entrepreneuership (Charlotte Creech) 0
"Learning in a classroom is much different from actually doing it. And so I thought I had all this great knowledge coming out of my MBA program but then when I actually became a startup CEO, I found it really was a different world. While textbook knowledge can be helpful and important, it's really not ultimately going to determine your success as an entrepreneur."
- Charlotte Creech
Long time listeners know that typically on the show, I interview military veterans that have transitioned into civilian careers. Today I'm doing a resource episode and my guest is Charlotte Creech, a military spouse and current CEO of Patriot Boot Camp. Many active duty military members, veterans, and spouses can take advantage of this great resource. We cover many things in this interview including starting a business, the Patriot Boot Camp program, many misconceptions veterans have about starting a business, and advice Charlotte would offer to those wanting to start and grow their own business. We also talk about how ruling out what you don't want to do in your civilian career can be just as important as what you do want to do. Finally, we talk about challenges unique to being a military spouse and how you can support your spouse through your transition out of the military.
Applications are now being accepted for our February 16-18 session. Those that are interested can go to www.veteransbootcamp.org to apply. It will be held in San Antonio, TX. There is no cost to attend, it is completely sponsored and paid for. However, if you are coming from out of town, you would need to cover your transportation and hotel costs.

How I Built This
FeldThoughts
Fred Wilson's AVC
Today is Episode #137 with the CEO of Patriot Boot Camp, Charlotte Creech.
"Learning in a classroom is much different from actually doing it. And so I thought I had all this great knowledge coming out of my MBA program but then when I actually became a startup CEO, I found it really was a different world. While textbook knowledge can be helpful and important, it's really not ultimately going to determine your success as an entrepreneur." –Charlotte Creech
A couple quick admin notes. Don't miss our Veterans in Consulting seminar on January 17th. We have three speakers locked in that are veterans who went straight from the military into consulting. If you have any interest at all in consulting, this is worth checking out. Also, if you haven't had a chance to leave Beyond the Uniform a review on iTunes, please do. It really helps us get the word out to other veterans.
Joining me today is the CEO of Patriot Boot Camp, Charlotte Creech. Patriot Boot Camp is a 501(c) non-profit that aims to equip active duty and veteran military members and their families with the education and resources needed to build the next generation of impactful companies. Prior to Patriot Boot Camp, Charlotte co-founded Combat 2 Career, a technology start-up that matches veterans with higher education opportunities. Charlotte holds an MBA from the University of Connecticut and a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from Bentley University.
Anything to add to that introduction, Charlotte?
Well most importantly, the reason why I feel so strongly about serving the military community is because my husband is an Air Force veteran. He was enlisted in the Air Force, serving two years in the Honor Guard at Arlington National Cemetery. Then he went to Fire Academy and subsequently after leaving the military, began serving in a GS role. So now he is a full-time firefighter at Fort Hood in Texas. I also have two siblings that served in the Navy and the Army.
How would you describe Patriot Boot Camp?
We're acutely focused on advancing veterans as entrepreneurs with a specific focus on technology entrepreneurship. We help veterans grow scalable tech ventures. Anything ranging from software to hardware and mobile apps. Drones also fall within that umbrella.
I think it's fantastic that you also support spouses in this program since all of us who have served know that spouses are just as impacted by military life as the service member.
I was able to go through Patriot Boot Camp myself when I was beginning a tech start-up because I was a spouse of a veteran so I know how important it is for the military spouse community.
Could you share a little bit more about the three-day course that you offer?
It's a three-pillared approach focusing on education, mentorship, and community. It's a three-day intensive course that you attend in person. Over the course of the three days, we recruit 50 early stage entrepreneurs. By early stage we mean anything from you have an idea that you want to get started to Series A (early stage fundraising). People come to Patriot Bootcamp looking for a community and resources. That comes in the form of mentorship from other veteran entrepreneurs and other entrepreneurs in general. These mentors are able to offer participants insight on pitfalls to avoid and opportunities to take advantage of. We believe this helps participants achieve more.
Over the course of the three days, participants are exposed to lectures and discussions on a series of topics relevant to veteran entrepreneurs. For mentorship, we bring in anywhere from 30-50 subject matter experts including engineers, software programs, marketing experts, and successful entrepreneurs. These mentors are there to have individual meetings with participants throughout the weekend. Participants are able to receive tailored feedback specific to their own start-up or idea. On the third day we have a mini-pitch competition which is meant to be more of an academic exercise. Participants aren't actually pitching before investors but it's a great opportunity to apply the skills learned throughout the three-day course. The hope is that by the end of the weekend participants leave with 2-3 strong mentorship connections that they can continue talking to in the future.
I'm listening to all of this with a bit of envy because in my own journey, I went straight from the Navy to business school. But it seemed like a lot of business school was preparing students to eventually be CEOs of Fortune 500 companies. Less of it felt relevant to the issues faced when getting a start-up off the ground. I think this is an incredible opportunity for veterans to gain training and mentorship in the tech field.
I had a similar experience. I have a business background as well and had gone to school to earn my MBA. I felt like I had the textbook version of how to start and grow a company. But of course learning it in a classroom environment is very different from actually doing it. I thought I had all this great knowledge coming out of my MBA program but then when I became a startup CEO, and was trying to raise capital and build a product, I found out that it really was a different world. I discovered that while textbook knowledge can be helpful and important, it's really not going to ultimately determine your success as an entrepreneur. One of the key takeaways from Patriot Boot Camp is that entrepreneurship is not a linear pathway. You may need many different mentors and advice throughout your entrepreneurship journey. This can help you navigate through all of the obstacles you face. It's for this reason that we make Patriot Boot Camp really mentor driven and bring in a wide variety of mentors. Our participants are also welcome to come back to Patriot Boot Camp more than once so we see many participants coming back multiple times to increase their knowledge and grow their mentor network. As you begin to grow your company, your needs and challenges will change and we want to continue to provide support and mentorship for these veteran entrepreneurs.
I love Patriot Boot Camp's focus on mentorship. Having mentors to provide advice and feedback can save an entrepreneur hundreds of hours of time and millions of dollars of capital.
Yes we hear that same feedback all the time and that's why we feel so strongly about the program's focus on mentorship.
When is the next three-day course happening and what is the cost to attend?
What is the typical mix in the program between those that are serving on active duty and those that have transitioned out?
There really isn't one size fits all. We've seen Vietnam Veterans, we've had post-9/11 veterans and everything in between. We're open to everybody. As far as the most common profile? Most commonly we see veterans that have separated within the last five years. Usually less than 20% are active duty. Most people are veterans but it really varies by program and location.
We'd actually love to see more active duty take advantage of the program because I think it can be a really pivotal learning experience. There are few consequences other than having to take a day or two of leave. But to be able to build that network while still on active duty is an important opportunity. Of course we want to see as many successful start-ups as possible grow from Patriot Boot Camp. But if someone comes to the program and realizes that this lifestyle or work environment isn't for them, it can be just as important because it saves them down the road from investing time and money into something that isn't a good fit for them.
One of the best pieces of advice I received while at Stanford Business School was that you shouldn't look for what you want to do but what you don't want to do and then start closing those doors. I really like that sentiment of being able to get a taste of the tech industry through Patriot Boot Camp and being able to decide whether or not it's a good fit.
We've had some interesting stories of people coming through Patriot Boot Camp and through connections with some of the mentors there, they discover that joining a startup already in existence is a better fit for them than beginning their own startup. They might make a connection with a program or software engineer during the course of the weekend and realize that they want to be involved in those specific functions rather than have their own startup.
What are some of the biggest misconceptions people have about starting their own company?
One of the biggest misconception is the lifestyle. If you think you want to start your own business because you want more time and flexibility, this is probably not the right way to do this. I have experience being a small business owner myself and I can tell you it's one of the hardest things you'll ever do. When there's nobody to delegate work to and nobody you're working with, you're on call 24/7. You breathe, eat, and sleep your business. There's lots to worry about and although it's very exciting, it can also be incredibly stressful. Don't go into business because you want to be in control of your time because the honest truth is that you're going to be a slave to your business. I don't say this to discourage anyone or be pessimistic. But it is the reality of starting and growing your own business.
The other hard realization that comes along with this is that usually being in business for yourself does not come with a salary on Day 1. I went about two years without taking a salary because we were investing all of our capital into product development. If you're not a programmer, it can get very expensive hiring someone else to build the technology.
I echo all of what you just said. I had the same experience in my own entrepreneurial journey. Do you have any other advice for someone on active duty that is thinking about starting their own business?
I think the important thing is to start now. Entrepreneurship may or may not be the right fit for you and your product may or may not have market viability but you won't know until you try. The earlier you can start the process and start narrowing down, the better off you will be.
So many times I hear people say, 'I'm still figuring it out' or 'I'm writing my business plan'. I always advise them that execution is really all that matters in entrepreneurship. So if you have an idea, start talking about it now. Don't keep your ideas to yourself. Just start executing. I've been told before that there is someone out there in the world with the exact same idea you have. The only difference is who gets out and starts executing the plan. So don't sit in seclusion, keeping your idea to yourself. Get out there and share your ideas with others, find mentors, and don't be afraid to start experimenting.
Do you have any resources you would recommend to active duty members and veterans that are thinking about pursuing entrepreneurship?
Sure, there's a whole litany of resources. First, look into programs such as Patriot Boot Camp, Bunker Labs, and EBV. All of these organizations host free entrepreneurship training programs.
It can also be really helpful to follow different entrepreneurs through social media and just see the kinds of things they are talking about.
I love 'How I Built This' as well. It's inspiring to hear about the wild and crazy rollercoaster that some startups have gone through. Another thing I'd like to ask about is your experience as a military spouse. I'm curious to hear if there are any unique challenges faced by military spouses during the military members' transition to a civilian career?
My husband had separated from the Air Force by the time I started my company so I wasn't a true military spouse at the time. However, my business partner was a veteran of the Coast Guard and her husband was still currently serving on active duty in the Coast Guard. In the four years that we ran our business, she PCS'd three times. It was an unbelievable hurdle for her to get over because every time she got settled somewhere, she PCS'd again. So even something as simple as finding a co-working space can be really challenging when you're moving all the time. One of those PCS moves was to South Bend, Indiana so her husband could attend graduate school at the University of Notre Dame. But for her, it was difficult, because she was surrounded by cornfields and very few resources. That was a big hurdle we faced as a business. It made me realize how important it is to provide service to military spouses as well because they're along for the journey too.
Spouses face a lot of adversity not only in terms of their job but also in losing their community and network. All the while they're juggling work life, home life, having to find new schools for the kids, etc. I think the more we can build a connected network that doesn't rely on a physical location, the better we all are. I want spouses to know they can come to a Patriot Boot Camp workshop and meet 50 other like-minded people that they can keep in touch with once they return home.
Now is better than it's ever been in terms of the ability to remotely build teams that achieve success even if you're not in the same physical location.
Do you have any other thoughts for active duty military members on ways they can support their spouse as they transition out of the military?
A lot of it is just being conscious of the concept that as you transition out of the military, your spouse is along for the ride. One thing we saw with one of our Denver community members – her husband was active duty in the military and she had always done freelance work. Most of her gigs came from her husband's connections inside the military. When he retired, he immediately got a really great consulting gig without missing a beat. But with her it was different because when her husband transitioned out, she lost her network, her connections, and the support from the community. She came through our program wanting to find a community. It was a good reminder that as you transition out, your spouse is losing access to the resources and community that they've had while you've been in.
I'm embarrassed to say I haven't thought about it much before but it's absolutely true that the transition out of the military can be just as challenging for the spouse as it is for the member.
Right. And I don't think anyone has come up with a resource guide or playbook but just being aware of the issue is half the battle.
Any last thoughts to share with our listeners?
Just that you don't know what you don't know. And that's ok. It's more about learning and growing your network. Be open mind to new opportunities and meeting new people. Even if you don't have what you consider a stellar business idea yet, it can still be extremely beneficial to just go and meet new people. You might be surprised at the outcome and where it leads you.
The other thing is that there is no one size fits all and I encourage people to take advantage of many different programs. Of course I want people who are interested in Patriot Boot Camp to take advantage of our program. But these programs aren't mutually exclusive and you can take advantage of many different opportunities. Get involved in as many things as you can.

BTU #135 - Data- A look at Veterans at Top 10 Consulting Firms (Original Data Analysis) 0
In episode #133, I dove into original data about how veterans manage to secure a job at the top rated Management Consulting firm, McKinsey & Company. Today, I take this 100 steps further by analyzing data about how veterans enter into a top 10 consulting firm. I look at salary information, as well as how branch of service, length of military service, and length of civilian work experience all impact your future career as a consultant.
This lists the top 10 Management Consulting Firms: "The Most Prestigious Consulting Firms"
Price Waterhouse Cooper
IBM Global Business Services
For this episode I looked at 4,300 LinkedIn Profiles. This includes people who served in the United States Armed Forces, and then worked at some time at one of the top ten Management Consulting Firms as defined by Forbes. We're going to look at a tremendous amount of data - how long people serve in the military, how long they work prior to consulting, how this affects which consulting firm they work with and at what level.
At the end of this we're going to get into a lot of salary information. So I always want to provide a disclaimer at the start that there are SO many factors that go into selecting a career - location, fit, community, opportunity for advancement, fulfillment, and work life balance just to name a few. And yes, salary is one of those factors. It is the simplest for me to quantify, so I think it is worth discussing. However, my intention in going through this data is simply to provide you - the veteran community - with more information so that you can make the unique decision that is right for you and for your family. If you have not listened to the first episode in this series - I recommend you check that out. It's not necessary to listen to that prior to this, but it has other great data relevant to veterans interested in consutling.
More importantly - if you have not pre registered for January 17th online event, Veterans in Consulting - stop what you're doing right now and do it.
Pull over
Get someone to relieve you as Officer of the Deck
Go to periscope depth and get a satellite connection
Do whatever you have to but go to Beyondtheunifom.io
Click on events and Veterans in Consulting
And pre-register
That way you'll get notified as this event comes together. It will be a 75-minute, video conference where I interview 3 different veterans who went directly from Active Duty to a top tier consulting firm. I will be asking about how they got there, what life is like, what work is like, what pay is like, what the snacks are like. Everything you could possibly want to know about a career in consulting, and quite possibly 1-2 things you do not want to know about it.
Additionally, I will open it up to the group for a live Q&A session. You do not want to miss it, so pre-register today. This will be a paid event - something between $10-15 depending on if we find a sponsor. The reason for the charge is because (1) there is a large body of research showing that people value more that which they pay for, and (2) it does help offset the cost of the BTU show - this is a side project for me, and I've managed to rack up quite a bit of expenses in bringing this to life. I want to continue to offer the podcast nd data for free to everyone, but having paid events will help me continue to do this.
Ok - so let's dive in - to some data
We'll start by looking at the firms - by total number of veterans - where folks end up
Second, we'll look at the breakdown by branch of service - what that indicates about where veterans end up
Third, we will look at time in service - how that impacts one's career in consulting
Fourth, we will look at civilian work experience, and how that affects where one ends up
And lastly, we'll look at titles - which titles veterans tend to gravitate towards at each specific firm
If you are interested in how I assembled this data, post in the show notes - i do not want to bore you here
But special thanks to mTurk - people who for $0.05 a task, helped me assemble and analyze this data.
They save me hundreds of hours, and also cost me hundreds of dollars
But it's very likely that money would have gone to Larkburger's delicious though not too nutritious burgers, fries, and shakes
So it's not too unlikely that by using this money for this data analysis, I have saved myself years of life, and avoided unnecessary pounds of weight
Let's start by looking at the firms and where veterans end up. To do this, I'm going to use that Forbes list of the 10 Ten Management Consulting companies:
The #1 firm is McKinsey & Company, where 2% of veterans who go into Management Consulting end up
The #2 firm is Boston Consulting Group - or BCG - only 1.2% of veterans are able to get in the door there
Bain & Company is #3 - where just above half a percent of veterans end up. This was the lowest number of veterans of any of the top ten firms
#4 is Deloitte, where there are a lot of veterans. 12.2% of all veterans in consulting end up at Deloitte
But that is NOTHING - it just a drop in the bucket - compared to the #5 firm. Booz Allen Hamilton took the lion's share of all veterans in consulting, with 42% of veterans in consulting working at Booz Allen and Hamilton.
#6 is Price Waterhouse Cooper or PWC, which has about 6% of veterans
#7 is Ersnt & Young, also with 6%
#8 is Accenture, with 10%
#9 is KPMG with only 1.5%
and last but certainly not least is IBM, which was the second highest employer with 18% of veterans in the management consulting industry
What should you take away from this
Well less than 4% of all veterans who go into Management Consulting end up at a top 3 firm
If that is your aspiration it would be worthwhile to study those who have gone before you and learn from how they got there
that was my intention in part 1 of this where I looked at the rare birds who made their way into McKinsey & Company
If you are playing the odds, I would be sure to add the more popular firms to your application process - Deloitte, Booz Allen Hamilton, Accenture and IBM are all great firms, and have a large veteran population
Not only does this mean - statistically - that you have a better chance o working there, but it also means that there is a wealth of knowledge, so many veterans at each of these institutions that can help you understand what it's like to work there as well as how you might get a job there too
Next, let's look at branch of service. Of these 4k+ veterans who are working in Management Consulting, where are they coming from:
The most - 39% - are coming from the Army
followed by the Air Force - at 31%
Followed by my team - Navy - team navy is 28%
and then Coast Guard and Marine Corps, with 2% and 1% respectively
Don't read too much into this - Coast Guard and Marine Corps are smaller branches in terms of population, so it's not surprising that their representative number in any industry will be smaller.
I did find it interesting, amongst the branches, to see where each branch spiked in the population of a firm
At McKinsey & Company, the Navy is actually the largest population - 44% vs. the Army's 40% - so take that, Army
That was the only deviation that stood out - for the most part, Army is the largest population at the different consulting firms
Of note - it is pretty equal distribution at IBM, where it's pretty much 1/3 1/3 1/3 for army / navy / air force
Bain is 51% army - so pretty lopsided
And BCG & McKisney had Army & Navy pretty comparable - just about 5% apart, but Air Force represented to a lesser extent here with 18% at Bain and 15% at BCG
Let's look at length of military service and how that affects one's career in management Consulting
Army leads the charge in terms of numbers in consulting, but is at the bottom of the ladder when it comes to length of service
the average Army veteran served for 7.1 years - that was the least amount of service
Navy, Air Force, and Coast guard were pretty event - with 10, 10.3 and 10.5 years of service resepctively
And Marines are inspiring me with their patriotism - they serve for 12.3 years on average
I do think it would be VERY interesting to look at how length of service correlates to starting title an salary at each company
For that I would need a lot more mTurkers and more money so for now - that one will remain a mystery
I also looked at how length of military service affects the Management Consulting firm. Again, using that Forbes ranking of the top 10 let's look at the numbers:
#1 McKinsey - the average veteran served for 6.7 years. This was the 3rd shortest length of service
#2 Boston Consulting Group or BCG - this was the 2nd lowest amount of military service, an average of just 6.4 years
#3 Bain was the LOWEST length of service - or 5.8 years of service
One can theorize as to why this is, but it is clear to me that those veterans working at a top 3 management consulting firm got out of the military earlier than those who did not
I have some hypothesis about this
One is that - from my McKinsey research it's clear that an MBA is the most efficient route to a role at one of these three companies
I'm guessing that this is easier to do earlier in ones life, where the opportunity cost is lower to go to business school
And I'm guessing it is more difficult to do later in ones life - after one has become accustomed to a higher salary in the military, has accumulated more personal life obligations, and is less able to forgo a salary for two years than earlier in life
But of course, that is just a theory
#4 Deloitte - 8. 1years of service - this is actually the third highest length of service
#5 Booz Allen Hamilton - this is the longest length of service 12.8 years on average. So it seems to attract those who have served longer in the military
PWC was #6 on Forbes list and the average service here was 7.5 years
EY #7 was 6.8
Accenture #8 was 8.1
#9 - KPMG was 6.4 years of service
and IBM at #10 was 8.4 years of service, which places them as the second longest length of military service
What to take away from this
I'm not quite sure - share your thoughts in the comments section of the Show notes - would love to have greater minds than mine take a crack at this
But the only theory that jumped out to me was about the top 3 firms
Next - I looked at how much civilian work experience veterans had prior to working at in Management Consulting. Again, first we'll start with branch of service and then break this down by firm
Marines had the least amount of civilian work experience prior to going into Management Consulting, that is 3.3 years on average. You'll remember that they also had the longest length of military service so maybe this accounts for it
the US Army had the most civilian work experience prior to consulting time - or 6.6 years of work experience
In between was the Coast Guard with just 3.9 years of civilian work experience, the air force with 5.3 years of work experience, and then the Navy with 7.1 years of civilian work experience
This made me think - what is the total amount of experience someone has before going into Management Consulting - between military service and then civilian work experience.
So I cut the data one more way and found
That the Army has the least amount of combined experience pre-consulting - 13.7 years
Coast Guard closely behind that with 14.4 years of exprience
The Air Force had 15.6 years
The Marine Corps about the same with 15.7
and the Navy bringing up the rear with a whopping 17.1 years of experience
I then looked at years of civilian work experience by Consulting firm
I found the results comparable to the years of military experience
that is the top 3 firms had the lowest amount of service
Specifically McKinsey, BCG, and Bain had 2.1, 2.2 and 1.3 years of experience respectively
Which, coincidentally is highly correlated to the length of time it takes to obtain an MBA
Doillete averaged 7.2 years
Booz Allen was surprising - just 2.7 years of work experience. You'll recall that Booz Allen had the longest length of military service, at 12.7 years. So I would guess that people spend more time on Active Duty prior to working at Booz Allen, but more often go directly from the military to work there. Just a guess.
PWC was 4.8 years
EY 7.1 years
Accenture & KPMG were 7.5 and 7.9 years, respectively
And IBM was the longest at 11.1 years of civilian work experience
My main takeaways from this were the velocity with which people enter a top 3-firm, and how it seems like it is easier to make a direct transition to Booz Allen than any other firm
But again - let me know your thoughts and questions in the comments section of the show notes, and I'll dig into this further
One last thing I wanted to do with this, just as we did with branch of service is take a crack of combined experience - both military and civilian - for each firm.
So, looking at the shortest amount of combined experience - both military & civilian - by firm
The lowest, with just 7.1 years on average, was Bain & Co
Silver medal goes to BCG with 8.6 years
and Bronze is McKinsey at 8.9 years of service
This is consistent with my hypothesis - the average candidate at these top three firms gets out earlier, and goes to graduate school. Again that is just a theory.
the next subset with 4th, 5th, and 6th place goes to PWC with 12.3 years, EY with 13.9 years, and KPMG with 14.3 years of average combined experience.
Delloite has an average of 15.4 years
Booz Allen at 15.5 yeras
Accenture at 15.6 years
and finally IBM with the most combined experience, at 19.5 years of combined experience
How are we doing? I know this is al to of numbers to be doing by audio. Before we dive into the final category, I would LOVE to hear your feedback on this sort of information - if it's helpful, and if it is, how to dive deeper in a way that will help you out. If it is not helpful, any tweaks that would make it more usable.
So finally I looked at Titles and their corresponding salaries according to Glassdoor. So much information here - go to the show notes to see all of it. Note on salary - I looked at total compensation, not just base. Base is what you're guarantee, total includes performance incentives like bonuses. I also used San Francisco as the office for my search - salaries will obviously vary by location. But this should provide a basic benchmark
Ok - so there are so many different ways to slice and dice this data. Here's what I did:
I looked at the most common titles for military veterans at each of the top 10 consulting firms
I then cross referenced this with salary information that is available at Glassdoor.com
Then I ranked each firm - by salary, highest to lowest
Take all of this with a grain of salt - there are so many factors that go into this, but here's what I found
The highest salary went to Accenture - the most common title there is Senior Manager, which is $207k
Next was McKinsey, BCG, and Bain - these are all comparable around $180k
The corresponding titles were Associate at McKinsey & company, and Consultant at both BCG & Bain
Next was IBM, where the title was Managing Consultant and a salary of $144k
Then Booz Allen Hamilton, the most common title there is Associate and a salary of $132
Deloitte was next, with the most common title of Senior Consultant, and a corresponding salary of $127k
PWC was 8th, where the most common title is Senior Associate, which has a salary of $104k
EY was 9th, the most common title there for veterans is Senior Consultant $102k
And last was KPMG with a most common title of Senior Associate and a salary of $91k
one final way to look at this data is by looking at those combined years of experience - both military and civilian - and seeing how much money in salary you get per year of experience
Seen in this light, the best deal is with Bain, which is the highest at $24k per year of experience
With BCG & McKinsey both providing $20.5k per year of experience
And Accenture at #4 with $13k per year of experience

Cambridge University Chapel Holds Services for LGBT Community to Show Christianity is 'Inclusive' Regardless of Sexuality
By Leah Marieann Klett ( [email protected] ) Nov 27, 2017 10:04 AM EST Comment

In an effort to be more "inclusive," three Cambridge University colleges are holding special new chapel services for gay and transgender individuals to create a "safe sacred space" and show that Christianity can be welcoming of anyone, regardless of "sexuality or gender identity."
Reverend Andrew Hammond, chaplain at the college, told the MailOnline he believed Church teaching needed to change on controversial issues because what mattered was the "quality of the love, not the gender of the lovers."
Thus, he is holding three "inclusive" services for the first time aimed at helping lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Christians to "encounter God."
One service, held recently at the King's College Chapel, involved the congregation "sitting on rugs on the floor and listening to trendy relaxing music in a bid to break with tradition," notes the report.
Hammond told student newspaper Varsity he came up with the idea after being invited to perform the hymn Amazing Grace with drag queen Courtney Act at a student event earlier this year.
He said he was "moved" by the positive response and was inspired to "do something that was very, very different, but still cohered with the general values of the place."
"I've been ordained for ten years, but I've spoken freely in any context except in the pulpit about how I think the teaching should change, particularly on sexuality and gender identity," he said.
"I finally decided to nail my colors to the mast at the beginning of this term. It's the quality of the love that matters between people, not the gender of the lovers."
He added that while the response from students has been overwhelmingly positive, he criticized conservative students for having views that "can give you the heeby-jeebies." Some students, he said, were "on his sofa weeping" by his attitude toward sexuality and gender.
Trinity and St John's colleges have announced they are also holding similar events; Reverend Carol Barrett Ford said she plans to hold an "Open Table" service to "actively promote inclusion in the Chapel."
She described the service as "relaxed and informal Eucharistic service" which would provide a "safe sacred space" and might also contain "poetry, music, video clips and/or silence."
The initiatives come after the Church of England advised teachers to allow and encourage children to explore their gender identity. In a guidance issued earlier this month, the Church's education office told almost 5,000 schools that boys should be able to wear high heels or a tiara at school, while girls should be able to wear boys' clothes.
"Children should be at liberty to explore the possibilities of who they might be without judgement or derision. For example, a child may choose the tutu, princess's tiara and heels and/or the firefighter's helmet, tool belt and superhero cloak without expectation or comment. Childhood has a sacred space for creative self-imagining," notes the guidance.
While LGBT campaigners applauded the move, Conservative Christian activists, including Andrea Minichiello Williams of Christian Concern accused the church of pursuing "an agenda that runs counter to the church's teaching."
Piers Morgan, who co-hosts ITV's Good Morning Britain, also condemned the new rules as a dangerous "fad."
"I've got a six-year-old girl, she doesn't know what gender identity is, yet teachers are now asking a five-year-old child: 'How are you feeling today? Do you feel male or female?'" Morgan said. "It's not about judgment, it's about having some sort of boundaries."
He added that children needed "boundaries" instead of a "free for all" when it came to identity, and pointed out that soon, people will be permitted to identify as whatever they please.
"You know what...you can identify as a giraffe if you want," he said. "You know what, we're all going to be fluid. We're all going to be giraffes."

Equitable Banking Group has reported its latest quarterly and half-year results showing strong gains for its Equitable Bank subsidiary.
The bank's mortgage lending activities showed positive movement with single-family lending mortgage principal up 15% to a record $9.8 billion at June 30, 2018. It reported strong originations growth and higher renewal rates.
Meanwhile, its commercial lending mortgage principal was also up 15%, to $3.3 billion, as origination activity reached an all-time high.
He added that the lender's Prime Single-Family business has remained quite stable for the past two years and he hopes to grow its share of that market through the rest of the year.
Equitable's net impaired mortgage assets were just 0.13% of total mortgage assets at June 20, 2018 compared to 0.16% a year ago.
The allowance for credit losses was 0.12% of total mortgage assets, down in percentage terms from a 0.19% year ago primarily due to low impairment rates and an $8.5 million transitional adjustment as a result of the adoption of IFRS 9 on January 1, 2018.
Equitable Group's Q2 2018 reported Diluted Earnings per share ("EPS") were $2.19 and reported Return on Shareholders' Equity ("ROE") was 13.0%.
Reported results include a $5.9 million pre-tax write-down of unamortized up-front costs (a $0.26 reduction in EPS and a 1.5 percentage point reduction in ROE) associated with reducing the size and costs of the Bank's secured backstop funding facility.


So in attempt to remember this in the future, I am going to post what I ate before all my races and how I felt on race day. Hopefully this will help me figure out my best eating plan. Every once in awhile I might post plates from the days before long runs if I find something that works well.
Since I was out of town, I went to Olive Garden the night before the race. I had minestrone soup for an appetizer with a bread stick, and wheat linguini with meat sauce and another bread stick for the main course. I was comfortably full afterwards. We ate around 6pm.
The rest of the day I had half a turkey sandwich on a kaiser roll and kettle chips for lunch. I had a big breakfast because we went to a special brunch so I had eggs, bacon, quiche, strawberries and two small cinnamon rolls.
Race day...how did I feel? Fuel wise I think I did good. Pre-race I had 1/2 bagel with peanut butter 2 hours before and a luna lemon zest 15 minutes before. Miles 1-5 I felt great. No problem with fatigue. At mile 5 I pushed it too hard up a hill and my legs felt tired but i took a gel and moved on. Took another gel at 10 but my legs didn't feel too bad. I definitely did not hit a wall where I felt like I had no energy like I did in Dallas.
My biggest thing to remember is that I can't think diet in the few days before a race. I have to think how am I fueling my body. This is hard for me, but in the end it resulted in a faster race time and a much better feeling in the end.


One of this year's most downtrodden and vilified asset classes is emerging markets bonds. High-yield or investment-grade. Dollar-denominated or local currency issues.
It does not matter. Practically all of the ETFs that offer investors exposure to these bonds have been repudiated due to, among other factors, plunging currencies and fears about an end to the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing program.
Heading into the start of trading Wednesday, the iShares J.P. Morgan USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF (NYSE:EMB) was down 8.3 percent for the year while the Market Vectors Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF (NYSE:EMLC) was off 10.4 percent. Nearly $1.9 billion has been pulled from EMB, which tracks nearly 200 dollar-denominated holdings that are mostly rated investment-grade.
Things may be starting to change for those ETFs and others like them. Maybe, just maybe and yes, there should be emphasis on "maybe," but over the past month, some emerging markets bond ETFs have at least been less bad than some supposedly safer bond funds. For example, since June 17, EMB, EMLC and the WisdomTree Asia Local Debt ETF (NYSE:ALD) are off an average of 2.7 percent. A loss is a loss, but all three of those ETFs have done better in the past 30 days than the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NYSE:TLT).
ALD has only been slightly worse over that time than the more famous, supposedly less risky PIMCO Total Return ETF (NYSE:BOND).
Almost Positive Signs There are some signs, perhaps faint, that all is not lost for emerging markets bond ETFs. For starters, a rising interest rate environment in the U.S. could boost the allure developing world debt. U.S. Treasurys are rate sensitive, but emerging markets sovereigns are credit sensitive because investors are concerned about repeats of such ominous events as the Asian financial crisis and Russian ruble collapse of the late 1990s.
Actually, emerging markets bonds prove usually prove durable during periods of rising U.S. rates. The average return for these bonds in rising rate quarters dating back to 1993 is 2.33 percent, making developing world debt the third-best performing bond niche when U.S. rates rise behind only convertibles and U.S. corporate junk, according to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management.
Clearly, no one in their right mind would say emerging markets bonds, currencies or equities have been good places to invest this year. The returns clearly state the opposite is true, but widening spreads for some of these debt ETFs relative to U.S. Treasurys imply dark views of issuer creditworthiness. EMB's trailing 12-month yield is now about 210 basis points north of 10-year Treasurys. The PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio (NYSE:PCY), another dollar-denominated fund, is almost 240 basis points ahead of 10-year Treasurys.
Only the WisdomTree Asia Local Debt Fund, which it should be noted is not an all emerging markets ETF, but one with sturdy credit quality features a distribution yield that is not well above 10-years.
These wide spreads are present despite the fact that at the end of 2012, the average fiscal deficit across the emerging market space was less than 2%, with no region averaging a deficit worse than 3% of GDP, according to iShares Global Chief Investment Strategist Russ Koesterich.
Supporters There is no doubt emerging markets bond ETFs are beaten up. In a group comprised of EMB, EMLC, PCY and the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund (NYSE:ELD), ELD is the best year-to-date performer with a loss of 8.1 percent. That has not stopped some professional investors from recently taking nibbles at emerging markets bonds.
Jeff Gundlach, CEO of investment manager DoubleLine, recently said he sees some opportunities with dollar-denominated emerging debt.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management has been increasing holdings on short-dated, local-currency bonds sold by Brazil and 30-year, local-currency bonds sold by Mexico, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Brazil has been on something of a scorched-earth, rate-rising campaign this year as a means of combating inflation, but Mexican debt has long been an emerging world favorite among some noteworthy bond investors. Investors looking to gain exposure to Brazilian and Mexican bonds via an ETF can consider the Market Vectors LatAm Aggregate Bond ETF (NYSE:BONO). BONO has a distribution yield of 4.51 percent and if Goldman's prediction that short-term Brazilian bonds have priced in the bulk of the central bank's rate-hiking agenda, the ETF could offer some upside in the back half of this year.

Q: How can I specify an anchor tag behaves like a hyperlink, without an href and without an anchor name? Okay so this one has some similar threads but I couldn't find anything that nailed it on the head, so here we go.
I'm trying to simulate a link using the anchor tag, like so:
Click Here!

All of this works fine and dandy; the link shows, I can click it, and my javascript method is successfully executed.
The question here, is how can I correctly force the link to display in the 'same manner' as an actual 'HTML Link'? Or rather, in the 'same manner' as if I were to have an href in the above mentioned tag; like so:
Click Here!

Now... THIS Code snippet forces the link to display in the manner that I expect it to, but in using this method, when a link is clicked, the scroll location is bounced back to the top.
It's probably clear, that this is not an intended behavior for the framework I am trying to develop. If anyone has any suggestions to overcome this particular issue, I would greatly appreciate your input.
--- While typing this all up, I considered that I could place a static anchor at the top of the screen( say 0,0 or -,- ), and force all of my links to reference that anchor. If anyone sees any viability in this solution, I'm likely to explore it.
--- Edited ---
Accepted Answer:
In order to have an anchor behave as a hyperlink, without manipulating the browsers current position; utilize a Javascript method returning nothing(?) in the href attribute, or a valid return of 'false' in one of the alternate event handlers for an anchor, I.E. the onClick method.
Possible solutions:
Link
Link
Link

Thanks again, everyone.
--- End Edit ---

A: Set the href to javascript:void(0);, this will mean the browser displays the link as if it had a real href:
Click Here!

There are other methods such as setting the href to #, but the advantage of the one shown is  that you don't have to worry about returning false or specifying return DownloadBooks().
This question has some good info about the use of javascript:void(0).

A: Set the javascript function to the href.
Click Here!

Edit: Just to note some consider this bad practice.

A: If you use return false at the end of your onclick attribute it will not make it scroll anywhere.
Click Here!

or you can make your function return false, and return its result (false) as well as execute it in the onclick attribute, which is shorter:

Click Here!

A few words from our co-founder about the Singapore Army Series
"From an early age, I was fascinated by the storefront displays in scale modelling shops. The intricate dioramas depicting soldiers and armoured vehicles engaged on the battlefield always gripped my imagination.
Over the years, I collected miniatures across various periods – from medieval knights to legionnaires of the Roman Empire, all the way to World War II armies and vehicles.
But the era that was missing – and one which was close to my heart – was that of Singapore's National Service experience. As we are a small country, I realised it was unlikely that we would be featured by any overseas figurine manufacturer. This was what sparked my desire to start Miniature Stories, really. I felt that our men deserved to have a place in the world of miniature toy soldiers. I wanted to see the NS soldier standing on the same shelf as a Greek Hoplite or a Japanese Samurai.
I truly believe that the NS experience is the one thing that collectively bonds all Singaporean males and defines them. We each have our own memories and stories to tell – from the day we began as "botak" (bald) recruits, progressing through training in our respective units, all the way to our reservist experience. Whether they enjoyed or hated their time in NS, most Singaporean men cannot help but recollect and retell their experiences whenever they get together.
As a collector and Singaporean myself, I wanted Singaporeans to be able to look at these figures and be transported back in time. To reminiscence the sweat and the struggles, the laughter and the friendships, and the pride and sense of duty they felt from this period of their lives."

PDP vows to consider members' contributions in sharing benefits
By Hakeem Gbadamosi - Akure On Dec 22, 2020
The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, Hon Fatai Adams, has called on members of the party to concentrate in strengthening the party in the state, with an assurance that benefits to be derived from the party would depend on their contribution to the party.
Adams who stated this during the inauguration of the State Secretariat of the party, which was rebuilt by a former governorship aspirant of the party in the last election, Mr Godday Erewa, after OT was torched by some #EndSARS protesters in October.
Adams stated that this would be the first time in the history of politics in a country that a single individual, would embark on the reconstruction of a secretariat of a party.
He, however, maintained that the party would not forget to extend gestures to individuals who have contributed to the development of the party in the state
He said whenever there is anything to be shared or appointments to be made, contributions of would-be beneficiaries would be put into consideration.
Speaking, the landlord of the house before it was razed, Mr Dapo Fakorede, commended Erewa for rebuilding the secretariat, saying the Erewa was God sent to the PDP as nobody believed that the Secretariat would be rebuilt within the short period.
"When the building was razed, the chairman met with me and assured me that it will be rebuilt. I never believed because of the economic situation and the fact that the party was not in power.
"So today's event is unique and special. I commend the leadership qualities of the chairman and other members of the State Working Committee" he said.

While speaking, the PDP candidate in the October 10, 2020 Election, Mr Eyitayo Jegede, urged members of the party to first think of what they can do for the party and not only what they can benefit from the party.
He commended Erewa for his good gesture and the chairman of the party for providing good leadership.
The building was inaugurated by the National Vice Chairman of the PDP Caretaker Committee, Chief Dayo Ogungbenro, who represented the Oyo State Governor, Mr Aeyi Makinde.
The rebuilding of the secretariat, which was completed within two months, was single-handedly sponsored by a former governorship aspirant of the party in the last election, Erewa.
