How Hiring Managers Should Approach Potential Candidates on LinkedIn

So, you have a list of potential #candidates that you want to reach out to. But, what’s the best way to approach them? As with all marketing efforts, you need to establish a plan before you begin.

We believe in the power of the #hiringmanager and what we call ‘relationship-building recruitment’. This is about creating a 1:1 connection between the hiring manager and candidate, inspiring them with great content, then presenting them with the opportunity.

Creating a 1:1 connection

When you reach out to connect, #LinkedIn allows you to include a personalised invitation message. It’s essential not to waste this opportunity!

When composing an invitation message, here are some things to remember:

– Avoid using an invitation to connect for anything other than its intended purpose. The message should be restricted to explaining why you wish to connect and nothing else

– Keep it simple. There is nothing worse than receiving a long-winded message, just looking at a huge block of words will put most people off, irrespective of the quality of the content – so keep it precise

– Get your timing right. Messages work best when sent on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and preferably in the morning. And remember time differences if sending internationally!

– Point out something you have in common. It could be your industry or location

Sharing great content

After the invite has been sent, you need to monitor who connects with you and then follow up. We believe your follow up should consist of two stages:

Stage 1: The Thank You

When you receive a notification that someone has accepted your connection request on LinkedIn, reach out with a personalised “thank you” message.

You don’t want to pitch your services or self-promote at this stage, but rather include the URL to your website in your signature.

At this point, your only concern is leaving a positive impression on them.

Stage 2: Relationship Building

Set a reminder to reach out to your new contacts after one week.

The sole purpose of this message is to provide something of value to that person with no ulterior motive. Giving without the expectation of receiving is a critical part of building authentic relationships with people. Share with them content such as case studies, eBooks, reports or videos.

Presenting the opportunity

Once the relationship has been built, you can then introduce the vacancy to the candidate.

Top candidates receive lots of messages every day from recruiters about job opportunities. By using a different approach and having the hiring manager get in touch, it makes the process feel personal. Candidates are more likely to feel valued from the start because the hiring manager has contacted them directly instead of going through a recruiter.

Candidates are likely to feel more engaged with the recruitment process as there are no third parties involved with something to gain. They may not even be looking for a new role, but if a hiring manager gets in touch directly then it is more likely to spark a candidate’s interest.

LinkedIn is a great place to attract candidates. By utilising your hiring managers, you can really drive #candidateengagement. This is because hiring managers are the people that they really want to learn from – the thought leaders.

Paris-based Postdoc on Large-scale Reproducibility in Software Engineering

Inria and Microsoft Research, in the context of the Software Heritage project, are seeking a postdoctoral researcher on the topic of Large-scale Reproducibility and Replicability in Empirical Software Engineering. Read on if you are interested in the position.

What you will do

  • Identify, via a systematic literature review, major results in the field of empirical software engineering that can be replicated in a reasonable amount of time at the scale of the Software Heritage archive. The archive, the largest of its kind, contains 8 billion unique source code files and almost 2 billion unique commits, retrieved from more than 130 million software projects.

    Particular care will be devoted to selecting past studies related to developer productivity, but any major study in the field of empirical software engineering will be a candidate for further replicability assessment.

  • Reproduce or replicate (to be determined on a case-by-case basis) the selected studies on the largest possible subset of the Software Heritage archive. This step will require identifying the needed artifacts to reproduce/replicate previous findings and possibly develop dedicated analysis techniques that can scale up to the size of the target archive.
  • Document the results of each replication experiment, either a confirmation or a refutation of the original findings, in a dedicated scientific paper to be submitted to dedicated tracks of major software engineering conferences (e.g., « RENE » tracks, for REplication and NEgative results) and journals (e.g., special issues on the topic of reproducibility).
  • Present work and results at scientific meetings.

Who will you work with

What is required

  • PhD degree in computer science, computer engineering, applied mathematics, or a related technical field.
  • Proven experience in conducting large experiments in empirical software engineering, mining software repositories, or related sub-fields in software engineering.
  • Proven experience with one or more state-of-the-art, large-scale, distributed, grid-, or cloud-based computing platform.
  • Proven consensus builder in a highly collaborative environment.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills.

Will be considered a plus

  • Experience with the analysis of the large graphs (e.g., webgraph or social network graphs) and related compression techniques.
  • Experience with machine learning and big code analysis.
  • Technical participation in popular Free/Open Sources Software projects.

Workplace and salary

Work place is Inria’s Paris headquarters.

The job is a full-time, 18 months, postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of extending the period to 24 months.

The salary will be commensurate with experience and qualifications. Candidates with a strong research track record in the field might be eligible for a Inria Starting Research Position contract for this postdoc position, which comes with significant benefits over a standard postdoc contract.

Application instructions

Applications must be submitted via email to The email must contain the subject line « Postdoctoral researcher ». A complete application should include:

  • resume,
  • cover letter, and
  • links to any previous related publications, software, and/or datasets.

All materials must be in a free format (such as plain text, PDF, or OpenDocument, and not Microsoft Word). Email submissions that do not follow these instructions could be desk rejected.

The preferred starting date for the position is January 2021.

The posting shall remain open until the position is filled.

Inria is an equal opportunity employer and will not discriminate against any employee or application for employment on the basis of race, color, marital status, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, handicap, or any other legally protected status. We value diversity in our workplace.

text:
He’s worked at some of the most innovative companies in Silicon Valley, co-authored a best-selling test textbook, keynoted at every international test conference, and, yes, has primary credit for popularizing the term “exploratory testing.” Did I mention he’s a high school dropout who unschools his son? (For more on unschooling, see the article “How Children Learn (to Test) on page 26.) Of course, I’m talking about James Bach, our invited interviewee for this, the exploratory test issue of STQA Magazine.

James Bach will now answer your questions.

Question: I’ve had a few people suggest to me that exploratory testing is just a ‘fancy name’ for ad-hoc testing. How would you suggest I respond? Peter Walen, Grand Rapids, Michigan

James: Yes, and “dance” is another way of saying “boogie down.” So what? They both refer to rhythmic movement. Yet there is a difference in connotation.

Many years ago I promoted the idea of sophisticated, professional ad hoc testing. But I could not get any traction with that. Most people don’t read dictionaries, I guess, and they kept thinking that “ad hoc” meant sloppy. It doesn’t mean sloppy. It means something prepared for a particular situation. I soon grew tired of fighting that battle and decided to embrace Cem Kaner’s term for the same kind of testing. ET had no baggage, so it was easier to get past the silly stuff and communicate the essence of the ideas behind it.

Exploratory and ad hoc are two different concepts, but they both are descriptive of non-scripted testing.

Question: In the environments I’ve used it, ET has proven very useful. However, it has been suggested that large testing organizations, both large in number of testers and large in distribution of locations, are not suitable for Exploratory Testing because of the extreme difficulty in the ability of management to effectively control test efforts. Again, I am curious – how would you respond? Peter Walen, Grand Rapids, Michigan

James: I hear that a lot from people who mistake a particular form of exploratory testing for the whole enchilada. Look, exploratory testing means you think while you test, and that your thinking affects the design of your test as you go. Is there anyone who truly says that a large organization wants me to stop thinking? And if so, is it possible that whoever is saying that has already, um, stopped thinking before they started speaking? No organization that seeks to organize intellectual work can do that by telling its people to stop thinking. That’s just a silly idea on its face.

Imagine if someone claimed that allowing people to drive their own cars was unrealistic in a large city because traffic would get all snarled up. Well, obviously we do drive our own cars, and yes, traffic CAN get all snarled up. But the alternative requires a great deal of investment to obtain a result that is a great deal less flexible.

All testing is exploratory to some degree, or else it isn’t testing. The reason people get confused is that they think ET is a rejection of organization and structure, which of course it isn’t. We apply whatever structures we think will help us.

Question: Can you explain the focus and de-focus technique used in Exploratory Testing? I have read about it, but have not attended a session where it was demonstrated. Sherry Chupka, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

James: Focusing and defocusing is not really a technique, in itself. Focus is an attribute of techniques. Any given technique of testing focuses you in some ways and may also defocus you. To focus means to work within the constraints of a specific pattern of testing (hence, a test script is a focusing method); to defocus is to change your pattern. Focusing also means to restrict your attention to a smaller area more meticulously, while defocusing means covering something larger but with less fidelity. Generally speaking, focusing is for studying something specific (such as investigating a bug), and defocusing is for searching for something new to study (like finding a bug).

All of testing can be seen as a process of strategic and tactical focusing and defocusing.

A great example of the dynamic is what we do when tuning an old fashioned analog radio. We spin the dial quickly, hearing static. Suddenly, as we speed by a radio station, we hear a moment of music. Then we slow down and go back, thus acquiring the station. Going fast was defocusing; going slow was focusing. If you tried focusing all the time as you tested, you would find few bugs. But if you never focused, you would not be able to claim that you had done a thorough job of testing, since you would not be able to relate testing to any specific model of coverage or risk.

Question: If I may, I have a question for “The Buccaneer Scholar”: What are the subjects/thinkers outside of testing and computer science or engineering you think are crucial for developing as a software tester? Curtis Stuehrenberg, Seattle, Washington

James: I suggest that you study the social sciences. Here are some of specific social science fields that I’ve been inspired and helped by. Google these:

  • Grounded Theory
  • Naturalistic Inquiry
  • Situated Cognition
  • Philosophy of Science
  • General Systems Thinking

As for people, check out the
work of Richard Feynman, the physicist, or Julian Baggini, who has written the most readable books on general philosophy I have seen. I think the scientific and philosophical illiteracy of our field explains the strange longevity of stupid ideas that don’t work, and have never worked. Our industry seems to be run by fairy tale logic.

Question: I do a fair amount of testing in an exploratory style and I am familiar with some of the basics – but what can I do to elevate myself from getting the job done to excellence? That is to say, I am interested in ways to increase the value I provide my team and customers. David Hoppe, Dorr, Michigan

James: Here are some ideas for you:

  • Can you do a stand-up test report on zero notice? What if I gave you five minutes to prepare one? Will your test report include all three levels (i.e. product status, testing activities, justification of testing activities)? Practice that.
  • If I were to ask you what your test methodology is, could you give me a five-minute chalk talk that looked good and also was true? You should have a mental picture of testing in your mind, and some way, under pressure, to access that model. I use guideword heuristics, for instance.
  • Learn session-based and thread-based test management.
  • Have you studied the ET skills and tactics list that my brother and I published? Ask yourself how you stand on each item.

You should also develop a colleague network and make use of it. For that matter, I do free coaching over Skype, as does Michael Bolton and Anne-Marie Charrett, also. Come see me for a session.

Question: How little can a user know about the application’s goal, purpose, and assumed workflow in order to do effective exploratory testing? Brian J. Noggle, Springfield, Missouri

James: Effective testing requires knowledge of the product. Exploratory testing is a way of testing whereby you learn as you test. Therefore, you can do effective ET with no knowledge (since it is effective to be learning) but the quality of your testing will not be at its best until after you’ve learned enough about the product to know how to observe it, control it, and recognize important problems in it.

Scripted testing is the same way. You can’t write great test scripts unless and until you know the product. That’s why most people create scripted tests by doing exploratory testing first.

Question: What are similarities and differences between exploratory testing and something like hacking, white hat penetration testing or security testing? Would it benefit these groups to interact more and learn from each other? Daw Cannan, Raleigh, North Carolina

James: Penetration testing is inherently exploratory. Hackers are inherently exploratory. I’ve dabbled in this quite a bit, myself. I would recommend that testers read 2600 magazine and books about hacking.

Question: Can you provide one or more specific examples of what it looks like to successfully integrate exploratory testing with other test approaches on a medium to large size test project? Sean Stolberg, Seattle, Washington

James: First, it’s already happening on every project that has ever been done. Exploratory testing is not some exotic weird thing. You do it whenever you investigate a bug, for instance. Geez. This is going on naturally. Have you ever been exploring a product and then decided to make an outline or test matrix to describe specific test conditions? If so, then you already know the answer to this question.

Mostly, when I’m asked this, the questioner turns out really to have been asking a different question, so I’ll answer that different question:

Q: Can you provide one or more specific examples of what it looks like to do great testing in a way that doesn’t worry and confuse busy-body managers who don’t understand testing or trust testers and therefore wish to apply silly management theories to testing such as “you should write down each test in a procedural scripted form?”

A: Yes, that’s why we created session-based test management. In this form of test management, unscripted testing is done in sessions. Sessions are time-boxes within which the testing occurs. Each session has a charter (a little mission) and results in a session report. We can create metrics from these which are reasonable and tend to give managers warm and fuzzy feelings inside. Managers get something to count, and testers remain relatively free to do their jobs. See more about it on my website.

Question: In your Rapid Software Testing training class and in your book Buccaneer Scholar, you start off by saying, apparently proudly, that you’re a high school drop-out. I think the readers would be interested to hear about how that has helped your professional success? Bernie Berger, New York City, USA

James: It helps me and it hurts me. But the reason I tell people is that I like how it defines me. (And people with degrees can say exactly the same thing.)

The kind of people I want to work with are those who understand that a vigorous habit of self-education is absolutely necessary in order to stay on top of a technical craft. By telling my institutional educational status, I hope to frighten away the kind of clients or colleagues for whom education is about symbols of power rather than skills and good ideas. I also want to establish myself as a maverick. That I’m a dropout communicates that I have a long history of doing things that I think are right, even when they are unpopular.

As for how being a dropout helps me, specifically: well, since I have no ceremonies or rituals to rely on for my success, I rely instead upon the simple idea that, for me, success comes through actually knowing a lot about my craft and being really good at it. I’ve known all along that I need to struggle to succeed. Nothing is handed to me because of my social status. I think my educational history has made me perpetually hungry, in certain ways.

I’m not against universities, though. I admire many people who are highly educated by institutions. Dr. Cem Kaner, for instance, is my hero, and he has helped me elevate my standards of scholarship.

Question: As a programmer, what can I do to maximize the value of both my (unit) testing effort, and my tester’s ET effort? How can I avoid wasteful overlap without leaving holes? Sean McMillan, Kalamazoo, Michigan

James: When testers know testing and love testing there is rarely wasteful overlap. However, a simple thing you can do is encourage your tester to perform scenario testing, rather than merely simple functional testing. Scenario testing means creating complex and realistic situations with the product. Long flows of actions.

I also strongly suggest putting function-level logging into your system, so that you can automatically see what functions and features have been touched during the testing. This makes testing more playful, and yet still reliable.

Question:I feel as though as a profession, testers have failed to communicate the value of testing in a way that businesses can understand. This is part of the reason that so much misunderstanding still exists about what software testers do. It is also why so many otherwise capable business people cannot tell the difference between checking and testing, or understand the importance. Do you believe it is important to advocate for good software testing even today? What is your approach? Do you expect the testers in the trenches to get further someday than the first wave of thoughtful exploratory testers did? Or do you still fight the good fight and hope that business people will someday appreciate what makes testing good and understand how to identify context driven testing from other schools of thought? Have you given up on business people at this point? When you teach and create content, who is it for? Are there any areas you’ve given up on? Lanette Creamer, Seattle,

James: These are a lot of questions. I can address a lot of it in this way: Yes, those of us who study testing must vigorously advocate it to people who don’t study testing. It will always be that way, because testing is an intangible craft. What would help a lot is if there were some really famous testers out there who were good role models; and some famous projects that were saved in part by good testing. In the same way celebrity chefs can make cooking skills cool, celebrity testers could do that for testing. I’m trying to do that. I’m also trying to help others to get there.

My approach to explaining testing varies with my mood. Sometimes I do a chalk talk, where I’ll draw a picture of my test model. Sometimes I start with an example of a big bug found at the last minute by good testing. Or perhaps I might do an exercise that demonstrates the difficulty of complete testing. My goal is always the same which is to show that testing is a skilled and challenging craft.

When I teach and create content, I’m aiming it at the 5% of testers who truly want to become excellent, and their managers. No one else, really.

Question: Test automation seems to be gaining in popularity. For example it seems like most job listings are for SDETs (Software Design Engineer in Test) and very few for Exploratory or Manual testers. What are your thoughts about this trend? Adam Yuret, Seattle, Washington

James: SDETs are a fetish of Microsoft and Google, primarily. You are in Seattle, so maybe that’s what you are seeing. Still, test automation is important, in certain parts of the industry. Some technologies require heavy duty tool support. The challenge is the same for SDETs as for any other tester – can you get them to study their craft? I hear noises from Microsoft that they care about being good testers, but that’s not the impression I get from hearing the specifics of how the “Engineering Excellence” program works over at Microsoft. I’d like to see them really commit to testing excellence, and I believe they eventually will. When they do, they will recruit a variety of people into their test groups, because it takes a variety to build a powerful test team.

Question: Software testing is an ever-changing occupation. Testers who care about what they do for a living constantly study/build skills. But, the test managers may not necessarily be doing so. They may be spending way too much time in meetings with other managers and not enough time in the trenches to see that the light at the end of the tunnel is a train…

How would you approach a test manager about this? How would you bridge the gap between what were the testing “standards” and how changing them is essential? How would you suggest that management gets on board with the evolution of testing? Michele Smith, Maine

James: Is it changing so much? I think what we’re doing today is basically the same process as it was when Jerry Weinberg wrote his chapter on testing in the book Fundamentals of Computer Programming, in 1961. Sure, the technology is more complicated, and more people are impacted by technology. I agree there have been changes on the surface. Ripples and waves, you could say.

But regardless of change, I agree that we have a big problem with middle and upper managers who don’t comprehend testing. My general recommendation is that companies urgently grow test leads who can act as “master sergeants” or “centurions.” These test leads would not be tied up with endless meetings, but would bridge the gap between testing supervision and communication to management. A big problem I see is that the connection between management and actual testing breaks down at the tactical leadership level first, but then really collapses at the next level up. Too many testers seem frightened to push their frustrations and ideas up the management chain. They also lack the skill of explaining testing to management even when they have the nerve to do it. Into this vacuum, management then pours their weird ideas about controlling and measuring testing.

That’s why test case metrics are super popular, despite being about as meaningless to test progress as, say, a pile of chicken bones. If we had better bridges to management, we would not have such struggles.

Germinal (movie, 1993)

Germinal is a Franco-Belgian film, taken from the homonymous novel by Émile Zola , directed by Claude Berri , released in 1993 .

Towards the end of the xix th century , Etienne Lantier , engine- unemployed, arrived at the mine “The Voreux” in northern France. After the death of a leafminer named Fleurance, he is engaged. He is sent to a small group led by Toussaint Maheu, who will become his friend. The Maheu family has ten people: Maheu, a miner, his father, also working at the mine, his wife, Maheude, and their children. Zachariah, Catherine and Jeanlin, the elders, also work at the mine; Alzire, hunchback, keeps the bed; Leonore, Henri and the youngest are still too small to work.

“The Voreux” is directed by Hennebeau, whose nephew, Paul Négrel, is the main engineer. This mine belongs to shareholders, “who live in Paris”. The mine “Jean Bart”, its neighbor, belongs and is directed by Victor Deneulin. The Grégoire family, whose wife is Deneulin’s sister, organizes the wedding of their daughter, Cécile, with Paul Négrel. Paul is driven to this marriage by his aunt and lover, Madame Hennebeau.

Housed by the village innkeeper, Rasseneur, Étienne quickly immersed himself in the political discussions concerning the work in the mine. Rasseneur, of socialist opinion, and Souvarine, anarchist, are opposed in their vision of the actions to be carried out to make understand to the direction the conditions of work more and more hard of the minors. Etienne, even if he understands the visions of Rasseneur, who advocates membership of the newly created AIT , prefers to raise with his comrades a provident fund, which would serve in case of strike. The families of the miners are already all heavily indebted to the local grocer, Maigrat.

At the same time, Zacharie, Maheu’s eldest son, is getting married. The youngest son, Jeanlin, breaks a leg during a landslide, and can no longer be employed by the mine at full speed. In order to continue to have a correct income, the Maheu family takes Étienne in pension. He is not long in falling in love with Catherine, the eldest daughter, who is not insensitive to his presence. She is however “fiancée” of Chaval, minor also to the Voreux, then to Jean Bart.

When the leadership of the Voreux imposes a decline in the price of the coal sedan and the payment of the woodwork apart, resulting in a decline in the pay miners, they try to reason Mr. Hennebeau then go on strike. At the end of a month, the strike still lasts at Voreux. Catherine now lives with Chaval and is despised by her mother, who accuses her of leaving with her pay. During a meeting, Maheu and Étienne apostrophent Chaval, come as a spectator, reproaching him for being a traitor. Chaval enjoins them to come to Jean Bart the next day, declaring that the miners there will also go on strike to support them.

But the next day, Chaval, after trying to organize the strike, gives in front of the offer of Deneulin who offers to be porion . He goes down with Catherine, while Etienne and the Voreux people set out. Once at Jean Bart, these and the strikers of Jean Bart ransack and burn the premises; Maheu cuts himself with the ax of the elevator. The ruin of Deneulin is signed.

When Chaval and Catherine rise to the surface by the ladders, they are greeted by insults and horrors on the part of the strikers. Étienne misses out and kills Chaval; Catherine intervenes. Resuming his spirits, Étienne and his troops return to the Voreux, where they besiege the grocery store of Maigrat. The latter, taking fright, tries to flee through the roofs, but falls and kills himself; the women of the miners cut off her genitals to avenge her advances. With that, the gendarmes arrive to impose calm again. Etienne, designated as a leader, is forced to hide.

When the gendarmes are convinced that he has gone to Belgium, he can finally come out of his hiding place, and learns from Rasseneur that the Voreux leadership has called in Belgian miners. Chaval, who has left Catherine and returned to the Voreux, will lead them, and the army will be charged with the protection of the mine. Alzire Maheu dies. The day of the arrival of the Belgians, the French miners form a crowd to convince the troop to let them pass. The discussion degenerates and the officer commanding the battalion is wounded: the soldiers fire on the miners. Maheu is killed. Étienne is forced to hide again.

He eventually goes out to join the work and give up the strike. Accompanied by Catherine, he goes down again to the bottom. But Souvarine put his intentions into action: he sabotaged structures that prevent water from drowning the mine. The miners are trying to get out of the old chimneys, but Catherine, Chaval and Etienne are trapped in a cul-de-sac. Stephen kills Chaval during a fight; Catherine ends up recognizing her feelings and gives herself to him, thinking that they will die.

Relief, organized by Négrel, try to locate the last survivors. Zacharie, aiding research, is killed by the explosion of a firedamp pocket. Father Maheu, he loses his reason and strangles Cécile Grégoire, came with his parents to do charity. When help enters the cul-de-sac, only Stephen is still alive. Outside, Maheude, sees the corpse of her daughter and invokes Stephen hard.

He ends up leaving the Voreux. He goes one last time to the entrance of the mine, to say goodbye to his old comrades. He meets Maheude, who also returns to the bottom: she apologizes for having made her responsible for her misfortunes. She also tells him that Father Maheu is still at home, but that his former minor’s pension has been canceled. She expects that soon her last three children will join the ranks of the workers, like her and Jeanlin. Étienne leaves the Voreux, thinking that his fight was not completely futile.

Around the film

  • Claude Berri absolutely wanted Renaud to interpret the role of Etienne Lantier. It took him three years to accept the role, but he still retains a bitter taste of this cinematic experience. The film, which lasted 3:38, was amputated several scenes where he played, which made his character incomprehensible according to him. On the other hand Renaud retains the impression that Claude Berri regarded him as a puppet, who had to repeat every sentence exactly as he spoke it, without his own personal touch.
  • Claude Berri pays tribute again to his father through this film. Artisan furrier Faubourg Saint-Denis, he voted Communist and fought for a better world.
  • Most of the extras (eight thousand in all) were chosen from former miners, sons and grandchildren of miners.
  • The film cost 165 million francs , which at that time was the most expensive film in the history of French cinema.
  • The Arenberg Pit was saved from destruction by the movie. Opened in 1903 and decommissioned in 1989, it was listed as a historic monument in 2010 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012. It currently houses a center for film creation.
  • The Regional Council of Nord-Pas-de-Calais granted a grant of 10 million francs, which allowed the project to start. After the film’s success, which totaled 6 million admissions, Claude Berri wanted to repay this money among all those in the region who had worked on it, but the president of the region, Marie-Christine Blandin , then advised him to create a foundation to help people in the region who are struggling financially to start a business 1 .

"The industry-specific ERP system that we previously used made it difficult to accommodate some of our customers’ needs.

We outgrew the capabilities of our old system and, we relied on the vendor to make changes—sometimes they could make those changes, and sometimes they could not. What was worse was that sometimes the changes didn’t meet our expectations, causing further delays.

After considering our options, we chose Microsoft Dynamics NAV from Solution Systems. As soon as we started using Microsoft Dynamics NAV, we saw an immediate difference. At first, we still did the checks, but we soon found that was unnecessary. And, we can easily trace back information to the transaction level if we need to verify something. Everything is integrated and available in real time throughout the company.

By using Microsoft Dynamics NAV, we can see that our rate of accurately billed, on-time shipments meets Six Sigma standards. That means we have less than three errors in every million transactions. Achieving those measures is great, but what’s even better is when we can prove that we’re doing it. These reports have definitely strengthened our relationship with our important customers.”

The best kept secret in music

From Kittens To Cats - Summer 2011

In 2008, Tiffany, Amanda, Katy and Megan were just four college roommates who started a fictitious band as a joke to see how far they could get by promoting it online. The result? “Kitty Litter.”

The band has since received the title of the “band to watch for in 2010” by College Music Magazine, and is gearing up for the release of their first full-length studio album this fall.

The four-member power girl group, Kitty Litter, has taken over college campuses, and is now about to take over your stereo. Their first single, “Why are you Still Playing? I Deleted You,” was released mid-April on college radio stations, and has received nothing but praise. Following their single’s success, the girls are proud to announce the release date of their first full-length studio album, “From Kittens to Cats” in July of 2011, and an accompanying tour, beginning shortly after.

Combining new and old sounds of pop, rock, and more, their new album is a “perfect dancing album for fans of all ages,” explains lead singer Tiffany. After receiving attention from a variety of music media, Kitty Litter has continued to expand their musical horizons. The album includes a variety of up-tempo songs, fusing the stylings of some legendary girl-groups such as The Supremes and the Spice Girls. “From Kittens to Cats” showcases everything they have worked to achieve over the past few years as a band, and they “could not be more excited for fans to finally hear all the finished songs” explains guitarist Katy.

After spending the majority of 2010 promoting their EP while opening for bands such as The Cab, The Summer Set, and A Rocket to the Moon, Kitty Litter is excited to get back on the road promoting their next biggest accomplishment. The girls couldn’t think of a better way to get the word out about their upcoming release, than to go on a headlining, album-promoting tour on the east coast. The tour begins in North Carolina, the home of the band’s bassist, Amanda, and then continues up the coast hitting all major cities. Kitty Litter is hoping this tour not only brings out their normal young-adult audience, but also begins to branch out to even older and younger fans.

"It was my pleasure singing and playing with you Whitney. You are very talented and I look forward to working with you again. Rockaway. Robin " - Robin Wilson The Gin Blossoms, Posted by Uranus Recording of Tempe on (Nov 16, 2006)

Who is Whitney Steele? A question that gets asked a lot; an answer you would expect to be quite simple. Whitney is a dreamer. And like most dreams, they can seem so clear, yet so hard to explain moments later. Whitney chases her dreams with a vigor and determination that can only be viewed as inspiring. Whitney’s acoustic songs are born, not just written. Her music is her heart, soul, and being. She’ll tell you about her triumphs and her tragedies. Her desire is to move you, make you think, and help you feel. Whitney’s music does just that!

Whitney is compassionate and honest. She believes people are basically good, but she’s intelligent and savvy enough to negotiate her way through the entertainment industry. You need only to understand that her music is her life, but her priorities are her family, friends, and loved ones. Whitney embodies the old fashion values of strong work ethic, determination, and moral principles to make her mark in the entertainment industry. She won’t push you out of her way to get ahead, but she will pass right by you if you fall asleep at the wheel.

The entertainment industry woke up to Whitney when she was selected as 1 of 5 finalists from more than 300 AT&T/Cingular Music Studio artists nationwide to compete for a chance to perform You Won't See Me Crying on an episode of the hit show One Tree Hill on the CW television network. Gretsch Guitars selected Whitney to debut one of the four guitars in the Gretsch Americana series in her music video for Storm Warning. In 2007, she was nominated best pop single of the year for the Hollywood F.A.M.E. Awards. Her hard work didn’t stop there. In 2008, Whitney took Arizona by storm when she won best singer/songwriter, best pop single of the year, and best music video of the year at the Phoenix Music Awards. She then took her show on the road and took home a nomination for best music video of the year at the Los Angeles Music Awards. Most recently, Whitney had the honor of singing The National Anthem for the Diamondbacks at Chase Field.

One of the biggest compliments in an artist’s career takes place when established artists begin to take interest. That happened when Scotty Johnson (lead guitarist of The Gin Blossoms) joined Whitney and her band on stage to perform at The Arizona Broadway Theatre. Robin Wilson (lead singer of The Gin Blossoms) lent his golden vocals in Whitney's song, You Won't See Me Crying. Whitney’s self titled second album will be released June 23rd, 2009. Scotty Johnson and P.H. Naffah (best known as the former drummer for the Refreshments and current drummer for Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers) joined with Whitney to lend their talents to Whitney’s hard work.

In the end, Whitney Steele is blue jeans and a guitar, she is pajamas with one part goof ball, and she is a smile and warmth that invites you to share in her dreams.

How to clean the lens and image sensor

    This article provides guidance on cleaning the camera lens and body by yourself.

    Before you start

    Prepare the following items to properly clean the camera lens and image sensor:

    • Blower: Use it to clean any dust and dirt on and in the camera.
      • Plain blower (preferred)

      • Brush blower

    • Brush: Used it to wipe the dust away from the camera body or lens. Use a small or large brush depending on the situation.
    • Cleaning cloth: Use it to wipe the camera or lens. We recommend using a synthetic fiber cleaning cloth that you can wash and reuse.

    • Don't use an air duster or compressed air as it may damage the image sensor or cause a malfunction.
    • Don't touch the surface of the image sensor or blow on it too hard.
    • Your product warranty doesn't cover any incidental or consequential damage due to mishandling at unauthorized service locations.

    Watch the video tutorial or follow the steps below on how to clean your camera lens and sensor.

    How to clean your camera

    IMPORTANT: Make sure to remove the lens in a dust-free location to avoid additional dust from entering the camera.

    1. Use the brush to sweep away any loose dust or dirt from the camera surface. Use a large brush for the camera exterior and a small brush to reach corners and delicate parts. Sweep gently and don't press the brush hard against the camera.

    2. Use a blower to remove dust and debris from delicate parts.

    3. Remove the lens cap and remove any dust from the lens surface.

    4. If the lens surface is particularly dirty, you may use a soft cloth dampened with a lens cleaner solution. Lightly wipe with a circular motion from the center of the lens.

      IMPORTANT: Don't apply the lens cleaner solution to the lens directly or use organic solvents such as thinner or benzine to clean the lens.

    5. Attached the front lens cap to prevent dust from adhering to the lens.
    6. Press the lens release button to detach the lens from the camera. For detailed instructions, refer to the product manual.

      IMPORTANT: Be careful not to touch the image sensor.

    7. Tilt the camera slightly downward so that the dust falls away from the sensor.

    8. Re-attach the lens.

      Note: For an A-mount camera, make sure the mirror is completely locked down before you reattach the lens.

    9. Check that the sensor is dust-free.
      1. Set the shooting mode to Aperture Priority (A) and set the aperture value to F11.
      2. Take a picture of a white wall, a white sheet of paper, or the sky.
      3. Make sure the no dust spots show up on the image.

    Many camera shops offer a professional sensor cleaning service. If the issue isn't solved, repair may be required. Go to Product Repair.

PRIVATE Fears in Public Places will be played out by Sefton Theatre Company on Greenbank’s stage this month.

Set in 2004, the play follows the lives and relationships of six ordinary Londoners whose separate lives which touch each other in various ways. The 54 tightly interwoven scenes showcase playwright Alan Ayckbourn’s skill at wringing laughter out of comic desperation.

Colin Wayte, chairman of Sefton Theatre Company, said they had originally planned to enact classic comedy The Rivals, but postponed that treat because of particular casting demands.

“The challenge for the actors doing Private Fears in Public Places is producing characters that are really true to life.

“By contrast the Rivals’ characters are very stylised.

“The audience absolutely has to believe the characters are real and see themselves in the characters.”

Private Fears had been on STC’s radar for some time. “We like to do plays which are a little less familiar to people and which have value,” explains Colin.

Co-directed by Roger Sloman and Dave Walker, the cast includes a mixture of experienced players and talented newcomers: David Walker (Stewart), Helene Porter (Charlotte), Eric Chadwich (Dan), Jim Longworth (Ambrose), Ren Williams (Imogen) and Megan Handley (Nicola).

Ayckbourn’s idea was for a "film on stage" using fast cross-cutting between scenes.

Skilful use of lighting is employed to cut between actors and mini-sets, on stage simultaneously, for short, fast scenes.

The Arts Centre technical team has helped out and the school’s PTA is kindly helping out with interval services.

Runs Feb 17-20 starting at 7.45pm. Tickets cost from £5.50 and are available from Tracey Batchelor on 01704 834863.

New Website Launch For The British Association of Spine Surgeons

The British Association of Spine Surgeons have now revamped and relaunched their website at The site has features that should ensure that it becomes a useful resource for patients, spine surgeons and also the Industry that supports spine surgeons in their work. The society embraces all spinal disorders except paediatric deformity.

The fact that it has an domain name means that it will appear high in any search engine. More and more patients access the internet for information, and the quality of information available for patients is quite variable at best. Initially we have concentrated on the common surgical disorders, and the frequently asked questions regarding MRI scans and consent.

There are direct links to for the guidance available to patients and clinicians on all the spinal procedures that have been covered so far. Patients have ready access to the PDF files on Interspinous distraction devices, disc arthroplasty and vertebroplasty procedures. Links are provided to quality healthcare support sites on spinal disorders.

A useful page for all is that on meetings and courses. Direct links for easy registration are available. The closing date for abstract submission is clear for scientific symposium. There are three calendars, one for the Spine Societies, another is for educational courses that have no commercial sponsorship. A final area that needs more content is for spine courses that are commercially supported. Companies that wish to post links just need to contact the society. There is no charge. It is freely available to all.

The news area is for members, the public and the spine industry. News items are archived and remain available. Succinct (the webmaster would like to think pithy) reviews of recent publications in Spine, topics of interest, and even medical device alerts appear under this heading.

There are now over 170 members who are all Consultants or surgeons in training with a specific declared interest in spinal disorders. The members' area has a forum for discussion. There is direct on line links to three journals including 'Spine'. An On-line journal club is being trialled for the first time. The senior author of the papers under review is invited to join the forum and respond to posts and comments regarding the journal articles selected. Professor Alexander Vaccaro of the Thomas Jefferson University Philadelphia has kindly agreed, and the whole topic of classification of thoracolumbar fractures is the learning topic.

Phase One of the website is now complete. Phase Two will develop further the educational opportunities that this provides with a variety of media and interactive learning resources. The already well established audits undertaken by BASS members will focus on specific common spinal disorders.

The first survey of members is nearly complete. It has established that the society membership is 60% orthopaedic consultant, 18% neurosurgical consultant, and has a good mix of training grades. Sixty two percent of the Consultants report that more than 95% of their surgical; workload is spinal.

The members survey area is versatile and would permit market research of implant and technology developments. That would require a symbiosis with the Spine Implant Industry. At present the site has no commercial sponsorship at all. It has been funded by the society and the content provided by the society. The engineering and development has been very professionally provided by who have extensive experience of medical websites.

Teams Holding Their Breath

One team manager has already stated there will be teams leaving tomorrow. He must have heard something to say such a thing.

The Tour de France has had it's rest day today and that means only one thing as this is Covid test day for everyone involved. This is arguably the teams toughest test to date as bad news would send them home immediately. The agreement with all the teams is that if two of your riders or back room staff test positive you are disqualified and have to leave the race. With another wave of increased infections across France it is understandable everyone is on edge right now.
Teams are scared of the mountain stages as so much effort has gone into restarting the season. Many spectators pull the mask down to cheer on their favorite riders and forget that they are putting these guys at risk.

With so many tests to be completed the testing will start on Sunday night and finish on Monday allowing the organisers enough time to re test any positive personnel. There has already been some false positives leaving everyone a little edgy as imagine being expelled only to find out the test was incorrect. This is more common than we could imagine as I have experienced this first hand with my family. First a negative when I knew thy were positive only to be told a week later they were infact positive.
How many teams will drop out tomorrow?

Many teams don't fancy their chances of making it to Paris and believe the whole race will be called off at some point. Riders complained this week that spectators lining the Pyrenees mountain stage weren't wearing masks and had them close up shouting their names urging them on. The race director has said there are no plans if the tour is forced to stop and how the race winner would be decided if any declared at all.

The various teams have been super strict on maintaining their bubbles which they started weeks before the Tour even started. Team Sunweb whilst at a training camp before the Tour sent home Michael Storer. He popped out to buy some shampoo and for that was sent packing. Stupid mistake as it put everyone at risk.

What everyone has to understand is that this is their careers and how they make their living. The Tour de France is the pinnacle of the cycling calendar each year and a good performance could set them up for life. Teams have to be super strict as only two members need to test positive out of roughly 32 people is not that an average of 30 people in a team is not that difficult. Ask Lotto-Soudal who on the eve of the tour sent home a caretaker and a mechanic for testing positive. The rules changed after that so they were extremely lucky to still be there. If that happened today they would all be going home.

David Brailsford expects positive tests to happen and certain teams will fall away. The amount of travelling the teams do staying in a different hotel room every night the chances of catching it are increased. With another two weeks to go it will be interesting to see how many teams are left and if any actually survive. We will know later this morning if any teams failed the test as the retests would be have been done early Tuesday morning and results announced by 10 am.

Amazing to think 650 people in a bubble can last this long yet the English Football team couldn't last a few days. I believe it is all down to education and respect for your fellow team mates with those players hopefully facing a lengthy ban and a fine.

Most of the riders live for their job and The Tour de France is the cycling event of the year. They will do anything to prevent an infection.
But the enormous crowd at the mountain stages was crazy. Although it's in open air the chance of an infecion is there.

What I also found shocking was that Christian Prudhomme, managing director of the Tour de France, also was infected and is in quarantaine now.
Prudhomme drives around with several guests during the tour like the French prime.minister.
Prudhomme is isolated for now.

I really think the virus is already in the bubble and the upcoming mountain stages aren't going to make it better I'm afraid.

Good blog.

If you like cycling. I recently created a new cycling community.
I don't know if I'm allowed to spam it, but here's the link:

The Disconnect That Reconnects - Part 2

Welcome back! A couple weeks ago I wrote about how a few years ago I took notice of the time I spent on things that, in all honesty, truly didn't matter. After examination I found that I was spending, on average, two hours per day on useless things that were adding little to no value in my life. I further explained how I set yearly and daily goals to help me focus on the things I found important to my life. If you haven't read that blog yet, you can check it out here.

While setting the goals were great, I quickly found that daily distractions were making it difficult to finish what I needed to get completed. Things like text messages, email dings, social media notifications, unimportant tasks and many others were all competing for my time and attention. I needed to figure out how to cut those distractions out of my day.

So, what did I do? Well, I started by taking a page from a few other guys like Zig Ziglar and Dave Ramsey

I began to start my day doing nothing. Now don't read too much into that and think that I didn't work or anything for the first few hours of the day. Here's what I mean by that. When I first woke, I noticed the first thing I scanned through was my phone. Of course, my phone was also my alarm and it was just natural to check the several Facebook notifications that magically appeared overnight. I noticed, though, that all those Facebook posts were people with a tear in their beer from the night before, someone of a certain political party posting a half true meme about the opposing political party, a cat video or seven, a completely untrue "fact" (which I now call "infauxmation") and someone telling me I needed to share a post to prove I loved Jesus. Before I even left my bed I was starting my day rolling my eyes in disdain, getting upset or feeling a bit self righteous, which were all things that distracted me from what was truly important in my day.

So, I trained myself to put my phone down. Yes. Trained. It was a habit. That little red dot with a white number inside letting me know that someone had taken enough time out of THEIR day to "like" or "comment" on something of MINE was like a drug that beckoned me to just tap on it and drink in the ego-stroking goodness that came with seeing another thumbs up on one of my posts, pictures or comments. Admit it. You're addicted, too. And it took time to tear myself away from my phone in those wee hours of the morning. I'll be honest: I don't have much willpower when I can barely hold my eyes open in the morning and struggle to place myself in a vertical position.

So, yes, I had to train myself. And I'm still not very good, but I'm better. I'm slow to rise still, but my hand rarely strays to those tempting social media notifications. Now, I spend those moments in prayer and reading. If you're not the praying or reading type, try meditating or simply sitting on the back porch watching the sun rise while sipping a hot coffee. Do something to clear and focus your mind and prepare yourself for the day.

In making this one tiny adjustment in my day I've noticed a change in my attitude. I begin work less "worked up". I've not already dealt with someone else's stress before 8:00 AM. Think about all the posts you see on Facebook. How many of them are friends griping or complaining? Even those political tongue-in-cheek memes that may even elicit a chuckle from you are designed to rile you up, even minutely. Sure, there are posts of kids, and cutesy stuff, but mixed throughout is post after post of stress-laden chaos in someone else's life. Giving up checking those notifications became a breath of fresh air in my mornings.

After my prayer and reading time and after I've sent my kids and wife off to their days, I move to my office and make out a list. This list contains anything and everything I would like to accomplish in the day. This ranges from any work related activity, chores around the house, hobby-type activities, and exercise among other things. Then I separate all those tasks into four groups, which I picked up from Dave Ramsey in his book Entreleadership (and he picked up from Dr. Stephen Covey). Those four groups are the following:

  1. Important and urgent
  2. Important but not urgent
  3. Not important but urgent
  4. Not important and not urgent

The first group is easy. These are the fires of the day. Those issues that pop up that, if not taken care of, could be devastating to your business, family, life, etc. The 4th area, "not important and not urgent" are usually pretty easy to identify. Things like most TV watching and checking your social media accounts fall into this category. However, sometimes these activities slip into the second or third categories.

Category three are some of the most annoying things to me. These "not important but urgent" activities include things like group texting with what feels like forty responses a second. Or emails from friends that just had to pass on another forward. That ding, ding, ding of your phone going off every time is demanding your attention for something that is literally a waste of time on most occasions. These activities scream URGENT and because of that they appear to be important. Sure, knowing when the fantasy football live draft is scheduled can be important, but not when I'm working on a time sensitive project or spending time with my family. At that moment, those text messages are stealing time away from what is truly important in that moment. In Part 3 of this blog series, I'll share how I worked to reduce these Category 3 interruptions throughout my day.

Which leaves us with Category 2: important but not urgent. These are things like exercising, date nights with the significant other, goal setting, building relationships, building your savings account, education and many other activities that impact your quality of life. All are very important things that are not necessarily urgent now, but if you fail to take care of them can become urgent. Choose not to exercise and eat healthy now? Then you may find yourself in the ER. Your health has now become important AND urgent. Choose not to save some of your money? Then when tragedy strikes or you lose your job, you may be wishing you hadn't drank so many lattes and instead stashed that money in an account. These are activities you need to be making time for in your day.

Your day needs to be filled with category two activities that add value to your life. Spending time with your family and friends. Managing your finances. Planning. Setting goals for your career and education. Reading a book by an expert in your field.

What sometimes happens, though, is we find that Facebook, Twitter and our DVR have slipped into the second or third categories. Activities that add little to no value to our life have suddenly become more important than reading to your kids. They've become more important than spending time with someone you love and creating memories. Checking the next status or binge watching a series is more important than going for a walk or a run. Looking at someone's vacation pictures is more important than getting that project completed.

And this is why I list out what I want completed each day. Once I've made my list, I separate each item into each of the four categories. I start with the first category and knock those out and then move to the second and begin tackling those. If I don't finish a task on my list, it goes on tomorrow's list. And if it's been on the list for a while and it doesn't become "important and urgent", it gets put on the goals sheet for the year or next year.

All of this planning takes me less than ten minutes each morning and is essential to my day. As I touched on in the last blog, this helps me focus to a pinpoint what I need to be doing today. Once I have finished making my list my work day begins. During my work day I have had to make several adjustments to keep distractions at a minimum, of which I will discuss in the next blog in this series.

As for now, I hope you learned something that you can apply to your life or have been encouraged to make positive changes in your life. Don't waste time on things that sap you of energy and ultimately add no value to your life. Live life to the fullest and make the most of every opportunity every day.

See you next blog!

    Now you better understand the early mornings I spent reading, creating and enjoying quiet time. There was always a list written down, always a planner in my bag. Lists made on napkins and paper towels as thoughts came for fear I’d forget them if I waited to write them down. Even in retirement there is a plan with lists made so that things are remembered and accomplished. Lists and planners are kept so that I can look back and see what was accomplished on days when I think nothing is working out. Great article.

The Secret To Developing Technology That People Love

The WeVideo Training Ambassador program was started due to passionate academics with nice tales to tell. They enhance the readability accuracy on these sensible gadgets, but enhancing a blog on the blogger app remains an open situation for the customers. InternKats Cecilia Sbrolli and Tian Lu surfed in regards to the IP blogosphere and returned with some very fascinating articles for readers’ digestion and rumination.

The author suggests re-conceptualizing the content and delivery of programs in Early Childhood Schooling to help and inspire academics to take the road less traveled. The writer describes and gives examples about how three Web 2.0 instruments were used in a literacy methods course for elementary schooling college students.

The program has a variety statement, which states that it seeks and encourages the involvement of people from historically underrepresented audiences in all its grants, programs and different actions.” 5 In furtherance of this objective, the Fulbright Program may, in contemplating applicants’ eligibility, award factors for female college students and students proposing to conduct research, significantly within the areas of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM); at the moment, 39 percent of Fulbright scholarships in the fields of organic sciences, engineering, well being sciences and bodily sciences are awarded to girls, versus sixty one percent to men.

Even more vital, we had been able to save Utah citizens and businesses thousands and thousands of hours in useful time, while enhancing service and satisfaction. A computer was hooked up to an LCD projector, and students took turns discussing and choosing footage to jot down about from these downloaded earlier by the primary creator.

Sap-sucking Bugs Threaten Hemlock Forests

Sap-sucking insects called hemlock woolly adelgids are draining the life from a common evergreen tree in the eastern United States. Since arriving from Japan in the 1950s, the tiny bugs have spread from Georgia to Maine—about half of the Eastern hemlock’s range. Once the bugs become well-established, the consequences can be grave. Areas with severe…  More

White Pines, Hemlocks, and Sunlight

The Blue Valley Experimental Forest (Blue Valley) lies in southwest North Carolina in the Nantahala National Forest. Located in Macon County, near the point where North Carolina meets Georgia and South Carolina, the experimental forest was established in 1964. At 1,300 acres, it is the smallest of the three experimental forests in North Carolina and the second smallest…  More

First Release in the Carolinas of New Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Predator

On Friday last week, U.S. Forest Service scientists with the Southern Research Station and Forest Health Protection released just over 1200 Laricobius osakensis beetles on eastern hemlock trees in North and South Carolina. Reared at University of Tennessee Knoxville’s Lindsay Young Beneficial Insects Lab, the predator beetles are natural enemies of the hemlock woolly adelgid, an…  More

Life after Hemlock: Restoring Riparian Forests in the Southern Appalachians

In the last decade, the hemlock woolly adelgid, a tiny sap-sucking insect native to Japan, has swept through southern Appalachian forests, leaving dead hemlocks in its wake. Hemlock branches no longer shade streams or tower over shrubs, and their loss has affected streamside, or riparian, forests. “Without hemlock, more sunlight reaches the forest floor,” says U.S.…  More

Planting Promise for Hemlocks

On August 3, 15 young volunteers and U.S. Forest Service researchers worked in the hot sun at the Bent Creek Experimental Forest near Asheville, North Carolina, planting eastern hemlock tree seedlings for a biocontrol insectary. Participants from Boy Scout Troop 91 were joined by friends and classmates from area schools and two parents in planting 88…  More

Bad News for the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid

Over the past decade, the hemlock woolly adelgid, a tiny insect, has ravaged the hemlocks of Southern Appalachia, causing widespread death of the trees that once lined mountain streams throughout the region. Efforts to keep hemlocks alive include releasing insects that feed on the hemlock woolly adelgid, including the Laricobius beetle featured in a recent…  More

Making a Start on Restoring Hemlocks to the Southern Appalachians

This winter, in collaboration with the North Carolina State University (NCSU) Camcore program, the U.S. Forest Service Southern Research Station (SRS) established plots for the first phase of research to support restoring hemlocks to the forest stands in the southern Appalachians they’ve disappeared from. Andy Tait, NCSU-Camcore research assistant based at SRS, coordinated the planting…  More

One-Two Punch Slows Down the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid

Can combining chemical and biological treatments save eastern hemlocks from the hemlock woolly adelgid?

In an article published in the journal Forest Ecology and Management, Forest Service and university researchers provide findings…  More

Changes at Streamside in the Southern Appalachians

The loss of eastern hemlock could affect water yield and storm flow from forest watersheds in the southern Appalachians, according to a new study by U.S. Forest Service scientists at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory (Coweeta) located in Otto, North Carolina. The article was recently published online in the journal Ecohydrology. “Eastern hemlock trees have died throughout…  More

Researchers Track “Gray Ghosts” Across the Southern Appalachians

People living in the Appalachian Mountains of the eastern United States have long enjoyed a rich culture of storytelling. Often rooted in a deep connection to the natural world, stories from Appalachian folklore serve to entertain as well as to educate; sometimes, important life lessons emerge, especially from tales of demise. A present-day ghost story…  More
