Put another way, how a lawyer services his/her client can be the most important factor in terms of ongoing client relationships. Most clients place a very high value on quality legal services. I am not referring here to the outcome of a legal matter, although that certainly is important. But considering how many talented lawyers are out there, it often comes down to how good a lawyer’s reputation is for providing good service. A lawyer with a reputation for poor service often has poor people skills.

Over the years, there have been many in-house counsel panels at various legal marketing conferences. They’re usually well-attended because lawyers want to know what their clients and potential clients are saying about the services provided by law firms.

For years we have heard that clients want:

  • understanding of their business;
  • better communications;
  • no surprises, especially when it comes to budgets;
  • prompt billing;
  • greater value, including customized CLE;
  • current technology, especially regarding data security.

A post this week on Attorney at Work by Susan Kostal talks about what she heard from such a panel at a recent conference. She suggests lawyers “use soft skills” to become a favorite of in-house counsel. They include:

  • learn what keeps them up at night;
  • learn about their personal life (as appropriate);
  • ask about their work routine;
  • asked what their preferred manner/format for receiving updates (memo, email, telephone, etc.); and
  • have a sense of humor.

I question how soft they really are, since I believe they are vital for lawyers in today’s competitive marketplace.  In many cases they are as important as how smart the lawyer is.

James Holden announces new album, shares first track 'Pass Through the Fire'

James Holden announces new album, shares first track 'Pass Through the Fire'

Wed Aug 16th

Electronic explorer James Holden has just announced his new album 'The Animal Spirits', to be released 3 November via his own Border Community label. The album follows 2013's acclaimed The Inheritors. Hear the first celebratory and explorative track 'Pass Through the Fire' from the album below, whose "relentless, elastic and hypnotic polyrhythms grew out of Holden’s 2014 trip to Morocco to work with legend of Gnawa music Maalem Mahmoud Guinia."

The album was recorded together with Holden's newly-expanded band at his Sacred Walls studio in London. In a bid to capture what he calls the unfakeable “psychic communication” of a group performance, The Animal Spirits was recorded live in one room together in single takes, no overdubs, no edits, in accordance with his own self-imposed dogma.

"You can imagine a shamanic Holden working amidst his machines, alternately reigning them in and provoking them (...) Holden's ability to wrangle a complex synthesizer isn't unique; his ability to make that skill seem utterly necessary, is" - Pitchfork

From the press release: "Legendary jazz band leaders Don Cherry and Pharoah Sanders provided the blueprint for this quest to assemble "something like a spiritual jazz band playing folk / trance music."

James Holden will present his new performance 'James Holden & The Animal Spirits' at Le Guess Who? 2017. Jazz icon Pharoah Sanders will also perform at the festival.

Good battle. I wasn't really feeling Freek's approach to this with the slavery/black history/gangster lifestyle disses. It just seemed like a strange approach to take and not particularly personal to YC. I prefered the leaving H.E mention and felt like he should of gone into more of that kind of stuff.

YC was a bit more direct in that manner for me although I appreciate Freek's wordplay. Interesting style clash here. Votes in.

Right, this is a clash of styles. Both very different pens. While YC was more agressive and delivered his bars better. Stachio went for a more bar heavy approach however his execeution wasn't the best. Close one here, however I'm edging it slightly this way as I thought my winner's bars had the bigger impact.

Tight battle right here. YC had a solid delivery / mic presence as well as flow but was a bit light bar wise.. Lots of simple / played out concepts mixed in with a few fairly creative idea's. Freek was a little inconsistent with his delivery / flow for a few lines.. He brought more angles to actually diss YC and had more creativity overall. This kinda came down to delivery / flow vs. bars / angles and my winner outdid their opponent moreso in that regard.

This was fun & entertaining to listen to...I thought both mc's had contrasting styles...with that said, it still didn't make this a close battle...Stachio was WAY too rushed, his delivery made it difficult for his punches to have much impact, because by the time I  let the punch sink in, he's already finishing his next bar...I mean, he had some shit, and he probably had so much material that he wanted to make sure he got it all out, but it really didn't work in his favor...YC brought that piff, as usual, a little rushed at times himself, but his delivery was perfectly timed to allow his punches to sink in, and his wordplay was clear, he didn't stumble really, and he was aggressive enough without spitting 100 bars in 120 seconds. I gotta go with YC in this one. Fair vote dropped, no hate whatsoever. Good battle y'all.

Good drop from both. I thought this battle was really close. I felt YC had the better cadence and flow overall but some of the concepts were played. Freek had more creativity w/ his schemes and concepts but the flow was rushed. I've got a winner.  Fairs dropped

#howimend: Author Jo Piazza On Finding Love When You Least Expect It

By Kate Paguinto

Jo Piazza is an award-winning journalist, editor, digital content strategist and author. She wrote the instant international bestseller, The Knockoff , and her latest book How to be Married was released this week! We asked Jo a few questions about heartbreak and she shared all the post-breakup rituals that helped her stay #onthemend.

Check out more of Jo's books here!

If you think back to the first time you were heartbroken, what advice would you give to that younger version of yourself?

"This is for the best. And it won't last. Every single one of my heartbreaks had me paralyzed in bed and mad as hell. And in the long run they were the best thing that ever could have happened to me. Eat all of the chocolate, drink the vodka and then get back up and get back out there."

What has heartbreak taught you about yourself?

"That I'm a lot stronger than I thought I was. When they were happening I thought each of them would break me. But you don't break. And you are stronger and smarter the next time around."

What are your rituals during a breakup? What things/practices/people helped you mend?

"I eat all of the chocolate. I drink and moan with my girlfriends. Then I tend to write about it. Writing about it has always cleared my palate and my brain and helped me put something that seems terrible in perspective. Break up with their social media. There's no reason to keep following them. Would you keep swallowing poison or hitting yourself in the face? Take the time to heal. It's OK that you don't feel 100% right away. Take your time."

What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned about love so far in your life?

"That all of the terrible cliches are true. Real love actually does happen when you least expect it. When it's right, it isn't hard. When it's hard, it isn't right. Relationships should be wonderful and easy at first because life only gets more difficult."

Do you think exes can be friends? Do you stay friends with your exes on social media?

"Yes. After time. You need to take one apart if you ever want to be real friends. Saying you can be friends right away is always bullshit."

What keeps your heart open, despite the heartbreaks you’ve had in your life?

"Well I ended up finding love when I least expected it, getting engaged three months later and now I've been married almost two years."

What is your favorite song about heartbreak?

What is your favorite movie about heartbreak?

"My Best Friends Wedding."

What projects are you currently working on, and looking forward to most?

"I have a new book called How to Be Married out this week."

The Ugly Face of Bullying in the Electronic Age

Does it ever seem like the world has tilted on its axis and is spinning out of control? It's hard to fathom the cavernous differences in the world in which our children are growing up these days from the world we lived in just a few decades back. In an age where everything revolves around electronics, our phones have seemingly become an extension of our hand. I wonder if mankind's features will evolve to adapt to the world of gadgets and ever-advancing technology.  Will our thumbs and fingers morph into a more efficient shape for texting?

Unfortunately, with advances in technology come advances in techniques of nefarious activities which have been around for centuries. Never have our kids been so susceptible to images of graphic violence and sex, and vulgar language, with such exposure commonplace to even the youngest of our offspring. As parents, how do we protect our children from the barrage of inappropriate information and images flying across the internet? How do we balance the need to protect our children with the need to let them make and learn from their own mistakes and face the consequences of their actions?

This concept is nothing new. But what's different in the age of the technological beast, is that the consequences of messing up have such far reaching - indeed potentially global - ramifications. In a world where the internet and social media dominate almost every aspect of our lives, there are no secrets, nothing is private, nothing is sacred. And worst of all, those who seek to harm our children can hide behind anonymity on the web. In a very real sense, the "web" is just that: a giant spider web just waiting to ensnare our vulnerable youth.

Take bullying. Bullying has been around since the beginning of time, but never have bullies had a bigger pulpit to spew their meanness and hatred. At least the bullies of old had to face their victims to extort their lunch money. Today's cyber bullies can hide behind the anonymity of the internet, spreading viciousness with one click. For our young and impressionable children, the effects can be devastating. The San Antonio community was recently rocked by the suicide of a 16-year-old boy who killed himself after being subjected to relentless cyber bullying. A FB post of his brothers went viral and has brought the issue to the forefront, not just in San Antonio, but across the nation. How ironic that the same instrument used to destroy a life, is being used to bring awareness to cyber bulling and potentially save others from a similar fate.

If your child complains of being bullied, don't ignore the complaint. Standing up to the schoolyard bully is not the same as it used to be, especially when it involves cyber bullying.  According to the government's anti-bullying website, the following guidelines should be observed in dealing with cyber bullying:

  • Don't respond to and don't forward cyber bullying messages.
  • Keep evidence of cyber bullying. Record dates, times, and descriptions of instances of  cyber bullying; save and print screenshots, emails, and text messages.
  • Block the person who is cyber bullying.
  • Report cyber bullying to schools, online service providers, and social media websites, and in some cases to law enforcement.

Know what your kids are doing on the internet, monitor their social media activities, talk to them about cyber bullying, and maintain open lines of communication.  This is easier said than done, particularly when our children are at the age when they think their parents are idiots who don't know squat. But the alternative is not an option. Because when it comes to being cyber bullied, sometimes kids can't handle it on their own.  Sometimes it takes a grown up. Sometimes it takes a village.

Fowlerville Community Schools will “most likely” not house an auto program again.

“After weighing in all of our options, the potential for an in-house auto program to come back is very low,” said Wayne Roedel, Fowlerville Community Schools superintendent.

After several students rallied during a Fowlerville Community Schools Board of Education in early December, board members decided to table a decision on suspending the auto program after longtime Fowlerville High School auto shop teacher Randy Smith left.

Smith took a position with Pinckney Community Schools and since his departure, the district has yet to find a qualified applicant to replace him, which has left the district in limbo.

“We still haven’t found any who are qualified … but the Brad Lusk, Fowlerville High School principal, will continue to search for someone to fill the spot,” Roedel said.

Last spring, the district decided to change its focus to partnering with Capital Area Career Center in Mason for the 2015-2016 school year, allowing students to have access to their auto program as well as several other programs.

The district will bus the students to the building.

“We made this decision because any chance to participate in duel enrollment and to be able to offer more than one program to the high school is a huge piece to the puzzle,” Roedel said.

Roedel said regardless of the auto program dissolving, the district was already looking into partnering opportunities with community colleges.

“This is a great option for all students because there is also a health occupancy program and welding one available,” Roedel said. “I think this people will like this option more over time once they see the value Capital Area Career Center can bring to the district with multiple programs..”

Not all students see the value the district administration does in this newly-announced partnership.

A 2014-2015 senior, Andrea Crawford was one of those students.

“We have the resources here at our school,” Crawford said of the school board’s decision. She was on of the students who rallied in December. “Also, they would have to hire a bus and driver to go back and forth daily to this program … The students wouldn’t be able to bring their cars in and work on them and the teachers wouldn’t be able to utilize it either.”

Roedel understands the importance of career and technical education and said this choice was a difficult, but necessary one to make.

As of now, there are still no plans to do anything with the vacant space at the high school.

“We plan on cleaning it up and inventory the tools until we find the right opportunity to use the space,” he said. “It may be when a college sends down a professor to teach automotive classes again, but who knows.”

A man repeatedly fired a gun at a car full of suburban teens, killing a 16-year-old girl and injuring three others, Detroit police said Tuesday.

The incident occurred Monday night just a few blocks past the Detroit-Grosse Pointe Park border, and most of the five teens were from the Grosse Pointe communities.

Police said they were getting conflicting accounts from survivors about why they were in the Detroit neighborhood. The shooting was not considered a random act of violence, Chief James Craig said.

“The area is very desolate and empty,” said Deputy Chief Renee Hall.

As many as 30 shots were fired by a man who stepped out of another vehicle. The driver, 16 years old, was shot but was able to drive the car to a hospital a few miles away in Grosse Pointe, Officer Jennifer Moreno said.

The three injured teens were expected to survive. The girl who died, Paige Stalker, was a junior at University Liggett School in Grosse Pointe Woods, which is on Christmas break.

“We are heartbroken over the death of one of our students, and our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends,” spokeswoman Michelle Franzen Martin said.

Police hope to get a “straight story” from the teens, Assistant Chief Steve Dolunt said.

“I just don’t think that an individual would just randomly walk up to a car and fire in excess of 30 shots at four kids. Something just doesn’t mesh, so we’re trying to figure it out,” he said.

Bay Shore Fatal Hit-and-run Probed

A hit-and-run driver killed a 33-year-old man in the victim’s hometown of Bay Shore on Christmas, Suffolk County police said.

Emmanuel DeJesus Cruz Zavala was crossing Candlewood Road when he was struck by a car that fled the scene at 5:08 p.m. Friday, police said. The victim was taken to Southside Hospital in Bay Shore, where he was pronounced dead.

Witnesses described the suspect’s vehicle as a dark-colored sedan that fled southeast on Candlewood Road toward Commack Road. Investigators believe there is damage to the passenger side’s front fender of the car.

Vehicular Crime Unit detectives are continuing the investigation and ask anyone with information regarding this incident to call them at 631-852-6555 or call anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS. All calls will remain confidential.

David Doherty

David Doherty

Associate Professor, Department of Political Science

For six years now, Dr. David Doherty has been a contributing member of Loyola’s Department of Political Science. He loves his two kids, playing the accordion (although, admittedly, not very well), and everything that the population and campus of Loyola has to offer. His love of teaching undeniably shines through when he speaks of his profession.

“One of the things that I like about Loyola is that we’re encouraged as faculty to engage in both research and teaching, so in the classroom I try to integrate those two things. I try to engage students with some of the research that I’m doing or that other scholars are doing and introduce them to how we go about trying to answer questions that we then end up teaching in the classroom.”

Integration of research into the classroom is important to Dr. Doherty. He believes that obtaining classroom knowledge and real world experience are both equally vital when it comes to the professional world, as well as everyday life.

“I think the [skills we develop] are tied to our ability to answer questions about the world. If we want to change the world, we need to understand how the world works. We need to understand what kind of policies or inventions might improve the world, and trying to develop an understanding of how to systematically go about answering those questions is one way that I think students can become more prepared to act effectively in the world.”

Dr. Doherty has found that many students gravitate more towards this research-based learning in his politics classes, and some even follow up with him later in hopes to educate themselves further on the subject matter. It is obvious that he is able to make a real connection with his students; they enjoy his class just as much as he enjoys teaching it.

“My primary area of expertise is public opinion research, so I teach a class on that every couple of years and I really enjoy that. It’s an opportunity to share some of my greatest strengths, in terms of some of the topics I’m [best] at. It’s a topic that I think students really engage with because it’s familiar. It’s sort of thinking about how people think; we all have models in our mind about how people make decisions about politics, and to work through some attempts to understand that more systematically is rewarding for me—and I think for the students, too.”

Aid for underserved communities

Aid for underserved communities

By Maura Sullivan Hill

In another demonstration of commitment to Jesuit values, Niehoff is focused on providing exceptional health care for the poor and marginalized. Many people living in rural and underserved communities do not have access to much-needed primary care and mental health services. Without this type of care, chronic health problems—like diabetes or high blood pressure—can be fatal when they otherwise would not be.

Across the country, nearly 5,700 geographic areas have a shortage of primary care professionals. That means that the 58 million residents in those areas aren’t getting the annual checkups and mental health exams they need to stay healthy. Jenny O’Rourke, PhD, APN-BC, CHSE, associate dean of graduate programs at Niehoff, wants to change that, and make sure that everyone has access to the same quality of care. In support of these efforts, O’Rourke and the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing received a grant of
$1.4 million over two years from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).

This two-year Advanced Nursing Education Workforce Grant will enable O’Rourke to further develop her Mental Health: Providing Access to Health (M-PATH) project, which will educate more primary care nurse practitioners.

“This funding will really give us the resources we need to help our nurse practitioners provide care in geographical areas that don’t have a lot of primary care options,” she says. “It also helps us build relationships with preceptors and the organizations they’re associated with, to give students more options.”

Students enrolled in this program will receive scholarship funding, in light of their commitment to serving the vulnerable populations. The grant will partner nurse practitioner students in training at local sites, including the Hines VA and Proviso School-Based Health Center in Maywood, Cook County Health and Hospital Systems, and Trinity Health System. Students will also have the opportunity to work with nurse practitioners in the Appalachian Regional Health System in eastern Kentucky and West Virginia.

This grant will also help Loyola increase the number of nurse preceptors, who act as teachers and resources to students in the clinical environment. Expanding the already robust network of preceptors within the city and surrounding area to include more rural areas and out-of-state facilities will provide students with a variety of career options when they graduate. “Because these areas have such a high-need level, the connections made between students and preceptors can help them get jobs and serve these communities even further after graduation,” O’Rourke says.

In addition to these varied clinical experiences, the grant will also allow Loyola to launch a mental health nurse practioner program. In 2016, 82 percent of Niehoff students surveyed indicated that they would be interested in a psych-mental health nurse practitioner program. And 47 percent asked for more mental health classes within the primary care program.

In implementing these types of programs, Loyola will be ahead of the curve once again—and meeting a desperate need. In Illinois, less than 5 percent of working registered nurses are trained to treat mental health issues and nationally, only 5 percent of nurse practitioners are certified in psych-mental health.

Embracing technology

O’Rourke is also hoping that this grant will be able to kick-start some telehealth training within Niehoff. Telehealth involves diagnosing and treating patients over a video feed and monitoring health data via smartphone technology. It’s a treatment method that is becoming more common in rural communities, to account for the lack of primary care services or the distance to care providers.

And it also has benefits for Loyola students, especially those in the online ABSN program. Utilizing telehealth will not only better educate Loyola students but also provide increased opportunities for simulation exercises. “This is something we want to implement for our students, and now we have some resources to start doing so,” says O’Rourke.

Together, these new Niehoff initiatives will meet student needs and, in turn, educate better nurses that will meet patient needs. CHOIR, the hybrid ABSN, and the funding for more primary care and mental health training will keep Niehoff students on the cutting edge of medicine, while still staying true to Loyola’s Jesuit identity. Tomorrow’s Niehoff graduates will be prepared to serve marginalized populations and find data-driven solutions that will make health care both more affordable and more efficient.

Loyola School of Nursing to Host Healthy Eating Event for Families

When families eat three or more meals together each week, they consume more fruits and vegetables and less fried foods, soda pop and saturated and trans fats, according to a recent study from Harvard Medical School.

With this in mind, Loyola University Chicago Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing dietetic interns and Stritch School of Medicine students will host Family Champions, an event for families active at Maywood Fine Arts (MFA) to learn about the importance of healthy eating. This event will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 25, 2013, at Proviso East High School located at 807 S. First Avenue in Maywood. It will feature cooking demonstrations, nutrition lessons and education on the importance of family meals.

“Children and adolescents who share regular family meals are more likely to be in a normal weight range and to have healthier eating patterns,” said Joanne Kouba, PhD, RD, assistant professor, Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing. “This event will stress the importance of family meal time and its positive affect on health.”

Loyola University Chicago dietetic interns Sara Casey, Erin Gorman, Christina Jablonski and Jillian Tuchman will lead the event. Casey recently earned one of 25 Kids Eat Right mini-grants from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation to promote the benefits of family meals to the MFA community.

Kids Eat Right is designed to ensure that sound nutrition recommendations are part of obesity prevention. Casey will work with Gorman, Jablonski and Tuchman to develop the program through the MFA Grand Family Challenge, where families work on nutrition and physical activity goals with the help of an interprofessional team of Loyola students. The family who makes the most progress will have the opportunity to win one thousand dollars.

“Partnering with the Maywood Fine Arts Center will allow us to reach families interested in health and fitness,” Casey said. “Educating entire families also will have a greater influence on the health of children in this underserved area.”

School of Social Work

Frequently Asked Questions

BSW and First Level MSW Internship Questions

The following are common questions of BSW and First Level MSW students as they begin the internship placement process for the first time. If the answer to your question is not listed below, please refer to the Internship Coordinator or your Academic Advisor for a more specific answer to your situation.

The first level internship is a generalist internship. This internship is designed to provide you with the basic skills that will prepare you for your second level field placement. You will be exposed to the first 4 of the 10 core competencies that define and characterize social work:

  • Competency 1: Identify as a professional social work intern and conduct oneself accordingly;
  • Competency 2: Apply social work ethical principles to guide professional practice;
  • Competency 3: Apply critical thinking to inform and communicate professional judgments; and
  • Competency 4: Engage diversity and difference in practice.

For those older students who may be career changers, a first level field placement should broaden and enhance your knowledge and experiences in the social work field. This may mean an internship in an area outside your desired career path.

Previous experiences and interests, while valuable, are given greater credence when it comes to the second level field placement. Although not ideal, first level field placements place a good deal of focus on the proximity to where the student resides and whether or not the student has a vehicle. Students with vehicles may receive an additional referral or two as they are able to travel. Most of the field placements are accessible via public transportation. It is important to keep in mind that the first level field placement is a GENERALIST placement and as such may not be related to your ultimate practice area.

The Career Development Center is a great resource for all things related to the internship and job search process, including cover letters. They have a guide that you may find here.  A basic cover letter should include three parts:

  • Introduction: Who you are, what position you are interested in, where you heard about it, and why you are interested in that position
  • Body: A series of connections between your experiences (from resume) and the demands of the position you are interested in.
  • Wrap-up/Thank you: Summarize your qualifications, offer your contact information, and thank the reader for their time and consideration.

Additionally, there is a Resource Tab in Sakai to the left of the FIRE-UP self-guided tutorial wherein you may find additional resources.

For your interviews, you want to look professional and polished. This means wearing nice pants/skirt/dress and a nice shirt. You should look neat and put together. Do not wear jeans, even “nice” jeans, nor excessive jewelry, excessive perfume, or inappropriate clothing. Use your best judgment, and always dress more professional than you might think appropriate.

You should follow-up with a thank you within 24 hours of your interview. This will likely be via email, but it can also be via phone call if that is more comfortable. The thank you should be brief and genuine. It is an opportunity to make you stand out from other candidates and to reiterate your interest in the internship position as well as to highlight the qualities you possess that make you an ideal candidate.

Students who are on Academic Probation cannot begin the placement process until they are no longer on Academic Probation. However, students are able to submit field work applications while on Academic Probation, if they know when their probation will be lifted. Once a student’s Academic Probation status has been lifted, the student may inform the Internship Coordinator and request referrals to begin the process to secure a first level field placement.

All students are to complete an application (either BSW or MSW) accessible via a link found here. However, students will not be provided with referrals until they are in the Chicago area. The student must be present in order to go on interviews. The partner agencies that the School of Social Work works with prefer to meet with students face to face rather than via Skype or Facetime or telephone interviews. Some students who reside within a reasonable commute to the area may elect to schedule interviews and travel to town for the interviews and relocate to the Chicago area at a later date.

The process itself does not differ for part-time students. All the requirements of the internship remain the same. However, when you choose to start the internship process may differ. Most full-time students begin their first level internship during the first or second semesters. If you are part-time, you may choose to delay the start of your first level internship beyond the first two semesters. This decision is best made with the counsel of the student’s Academic Advisor. All students benefit from mapping out their course plan with their Academic Advisor.

This information can be found via LOCUS, under the “Academics” tab.

If you don’t hear back from an agency after 10 business days have elapsed, follow up via a professionally crafted email inquiring about the status of your letter of inquiry/application. If you still do not receive a response after 3-5 business days, please inform the Internship Coordinator who will intervene on your behalf. You may also consider carbon copying (CC:) the Internship Coordinator on your follow up email. Many Field Instructors respond quicker when they see that the Internship Coordinator has been copied on the email.

If you don’t secure a placement from your initial 3 referrals, contact the Internship Coordinator as soon as possible to request additional referrals. If you are unable to secure a field placement after having received 4-6 or more referrals, the Internship Coordinator will reach out to set up a meeting to collectively explore your process. In some cases, the Internship Coordinator may refer a student to the Career Development Center for practice via a Mock Interview.

This is a great position to be in. If you receive an offer from more than one referral, you may request additional time to consider the offer. You want to be specific with the amount of time requested and when you will follow-up (i.e. Can I please take 5 business days and get back to you next Monday, May 7?). You may also inquire as to when they would like a response/reply. This is reasonable as the field sites are interviewing several candidates and they are aware that you too are interviewing with other agencies. As you work to make a decision and consider the offers, reflect upon about how you felt at the site and during the interview. Did you connect with the people at the site? Were you interested about the kinds of things you would be expected to do?  Did you get a sense of whether or not the site would be a good fit and a good balance between what your strengths/skills and what you still need to learn in the field of social work?  You may wish to consult with a classmate/peer/friend, loved one or the Internship Coordinator for another perspective if necessary. Then, formally accept and/or decline the offer(s) via email.

If a site offers you a placement and you want to accept, you may do so. Following accepting that placement, you would need to inform the other agencies of your need to cancel the interview as you have accepted an offer from another agency. Other options would be to request a specified time frame to consider the offer or be transparent and inform the agency that you have other interviews scheduled and you would like the opportunity to explore your options. These are reasonable and demonstrate thoughtfulness.

LUC only requires one application to be submitted in order to receive referrals. However, some agencies require an additional application, while others do not. The Internship Coordinator will indicate when providing referrals whether or not the agency requires that you complete an application as part of the internship process.

You will receive 2-3 referrals from the Internship Coordinator. Students that indicate on their application that they have a vehicle may receive additional referrals.

Social Work is an eclectic profession, and people come from a variety of professional and/or educational backgrounds with varied experience. The first level field experience is designed to be an introductory, generalist experience in the field of social work. Everyone has to begin somewhere and those people that bring more experience in the social work field were at one time novices in the field of social work.

Although confidence is important, you do not need to have prior experience in the field of social work to obtain or excel in a first level internship. Placement sites are aware that students have a variety of previous education and work experiences, and will provide adequate training for you to succeed. Your eagerness and curiosity to learn may be your best assets!

The Internship Coordinator will provide you with an estimated date of when you may expect to receive referrals when you receive a reply that your resume and field application have been received.

You often will not know this until you begin your field placement. There is no way to guarantee this upfront. Trust that you will be trained by your Field Instructor (agency supervisor) and that you will have the support of a Field Liaison as you navigate your first level field placement.

The internship referral and placement process is neither self-service nor self-selected. However, if you have an agency that is not currently a partner with Loyola nor has trained Loyola student interns previously, you may provide the Internship Coordinator with the contact information of the agency. The Internship Coordinator is always interested in widening the options for students and will reach out and vet the agency to make certain that the agency has personnel on staff with the appropriate credentials to train Loyola student interns. The requirements for a Field Instructor to provide supervision to our students are set by the Council of Social Work Education (CSWE) which is the organization that provides accreditation to Schools of Social Work. If you live out of the greater Chicago area, and are looking for a placement closer to home, please consult with the Internship Coordinator to find a site that can help you fulfill the requirements of the internship.

The Internship Coordinator provides the referrals to students. The internships are dictated by their availability.  Therefore, there is no control on the part of the student

The field, like life, does not make accommodations. However, in the event the student has a limited mobility and/or is confined to a wheelchair or possesses a visual impairment or is DEAF, the Internship Coordinators will make efforts to secure referrals that are able to accommodate the student’s needs. Other than this, there are no accommodations made for the field experience.

The best way to prepare for the field experience/internship is to adjust your life to accommodate the rigors and requirements of the program. This may mean adjusting a work schedule, etc. Another great way to prepare is to do a little research on your placement - what types of services do they provide; what is there population primarily; what types of professionals are in the building, etc. This will give you a knowledge base from which you can start and grow while in the placement. Lastly, you can be relaxed and be open to the new experience.

Students may complete a field placement at their place of employment. However, there are strict guidelines and requirements in order for a student’s workplace to become an approved partner agency. The student must first submit a detailed proposal. In addition, the agency/place of employment must complete an application to become a Field Partner. Please see page 10 of the Loyola University Chicago School of Social Work Field Education Manual for additional information.

Overwhelmingly, first level field placements are unpaid with 2-3 exceptions. This does not mean that paid internships are not allowed.

Typical first level internship hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays during regular business hours. First level field placements are designed to be completed over two 15-week semesters; 240 hours the first semester and the remaining 240 hours for the second semester for a total of 480 hours.

Flexibility of schedules and days is site specific. Loyola has no control over what times and days you complete your internship, so if a flexible schedule is required, please discuss with internship sites. Full time first level BSW/MSW students are generally in their classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday and in their field placements or internship site on Tuesday and Thursday.

First level field placements are generalist placements. As such, they are not typically clinical in nature. However, the degree of clinical experience offered at a first level placement depends on the site. Please inquire during interviews. Many aspects of social work are clinical in nature. It is important for a student to broaden his/her conceptualization of what is considered clinical.

Internship sites may be found throughout the greater Chicago area and students can expect to travel up to 1 hour, one way, to and from internship. However, geographic location is a factor considered prior to giving internship referrals. Additionally, Loyola University Chicago students receive an unlimited ride CTA Ventra pass during any spring or fall semester in which they are enrolled full-time. Any other travel expenses outside of CTA are not covered by LUC.

It is impossible to guarantee safety as this is a matter of personal responsibility. There is no such thing as a crime free or safe area. However, safety concerns do exist and students are strongly encouraged to explore their concerns during the interview process. Often times the Field Instructor is no stranger to such an inquiry from a student and are able to provide suggestions for students to maintain the highest level of safety. For example, schedules may be adjusted during Daylight savings time when traveling via public transportation. In the event there are several interns at a site, it may be suggested that interns car pool or commute together or travel as a group to and from public transportation.

Unless there is a significant concern or a significant conflict that cannot be resolved, internships cannot be changed. Your Field Liaison is a critical resource to help manage any challenges that may arise during the first level field experience.

Supervision is a meeting between student and Field Instructor (supervisor) which includes case consultation, discussion of the student’s concerns and questions, and any other relevant discussions about the student’s learning and progress at the site. These meetings are typically weekly, but this may differ based on site set-up and Field Instructor.

Students are encouraged to first approach their Field Instructor about their concerns. This is often difficult for a first level student (or any student for that matter) as the student may be concerned about repercussions or receiving a poor evaluation. However, this is the recommended course of action and students are encouraged to report their concerns as a preface to discussing inadequate supervision. When students are unable to approach their Field Instructor, the next resource is their Field Liaison. The role of the Field Liaison is to be a bridge between the student and their Field Instructor and to foster the learning and engagement of the student and to support the Field Instructor to provide an optimal learning environment for the student.

Balancing internship and school requires planning and is best done before applying to the program. It is the responsibility of the student to adjust their life to accommodate the requirements of the program.

The only required course to take con-current with a first level internship is SWFI 530S. However, to stay on track in the program, most students take a few courses over the summer. Please discuss your academic plan with your Academic Advisor regarding which courses you should take.

The balance between internship and any outside employment can be difficult. The first level internship requires 16 hours per week (for Fall and Spring start terms), and the second level internship increases to 24 hours per week (for Fall and Spring start terms). Your outside employment will have to be flexible to allow these hours, if they can be. Loyola cannot be flexible in its program requirements and is required to comply with the requirements of the accrediting body, the Council on Social Work Education or the CSWE.

Internships can be excellent networking opportunities. Although no data exists to answer this particular question, the connections you make at your first and second level internships are invaluable for the job search following graduation. Some students are offered employment opportunities upon graduation and/or completion of their field placement. This occurs more often with second level field placements versus first level placements.

This is strongly discouraged and happens only in rare circumstances. Each student believes their situation is unique and rare but more often than not, it is not so and therefore, this does not occur. Internships are almost always at different placement sites. Each level internship has different requirements, and it is unlikely that one site could offer both internship positions for one student. Additionally, the purpose of the student completing two internships is to have exposure to two different populations all the while learning and developing new skills and greater exposure to the 10 core competencies that characterize social work.

Quality up, Costs down

Cold-chamber die casting is the preferred process for high volume production of light alloy castings. Currently, half of the world’s production is manufactured using this technology, while continuous improvements in quality are broadening its application for automotive components. The key factors to realize a lightweight design at reduced costs while maintaining a reliable process were evident in a development project performed by Studio DSM, Italy, for an automotive aluminum die cast component with high functional performance demands, fig. 1.

Fig. 1: Component

The component is a cover that ensures maximum operational reliability in both structural strength and hydraulic seal to prevent oil leakage. The high demands on quality persuaded the Studio DSM engineers to conduct a virtual preliminary study of the mold’s performance in production, in order to identify in advance any critical problems for the part’s internal integrity, fig. 2.

Fig. 2: Initial layout

The virtual analysis of the initial configuration highlighted critical points: the solidification did not provide satisfactory results due to isolated shrinkage in areas of the component which must ensure a hydraulic seal. It was therefore decided to investigate alternatives for the gating system, especially focusing on the component’s heaviest section, with the objective to reduce the shrinkage porosity to a minimum while limiting entrapped air. In order to reduce the production operating costs while keeping die maintenance efforts low, the designers decided to move to a four-cavity die, fig. 3.

Fig. 3: Final layout

The new lay-out reduced the critical aspects for internal integrity in the heavy section. Once a satisfactory lay-out was identified, the design was completed by defining an appropriate thermal control system, fig. 4.

Fig. 4: Thermal control system design

The related simulations were used to virtually verify the dimensioning of the cooling lines and the corresponding process parameters.

Fig. 5: Porosity comparison between initial and final layout

The achieved results confirmed the expected improvements, fig. 5 and 6, permitting a direct move from design to manufacturing phase.

Fig. 6: Tomography analysis of a casting

The sampling phase of the new die was satisfactorily concluded using process parameters corresponding to those defined for the final simulation. The most interesting result was that the required quality could be obtained at a lower cost than the one foreseen - in a very limited development time. Stefano Chiarello, the Studio DSM designer who worked on the virtual analysis of the process, summed up his project experience: “I have realized the usefulness of the software for decision-making support, especially when experience was suggesting to me that the assumptions initially taken into account could be risky”.

  • Authentic Styling: Get an eyeful of a Softail motorcycle and you see more than some weepy-eyed exercise in nostalgia. You’re looking at the kind of style that has the power to defy time. Honest. Uncluttered. Unaffected by the fad of the moment. There’s a good reason for this. We’ve used our long decades on the road, riding, wrenching, talking to other custom bike fanatics, to discover what works. Then we stick with it, and use it to push the boundaries of motorcycle design ever further. Take a look at the horseshoe oil tank adorning our Softail models. It’s the same one you’d see on a restored dresser from the ‘50s, or a radical Panhead chopper from the ‘70s. And you’ll find it right now on future Harley-Davidson models that still on the drawing board. Other companies may be content to imitate bits and pieces from our long history. On a Softail motorcycle every part down to the axle nut cover comes from an authentic tradition. With a genuine reason for looking the way it looks.
  • Iconic Engine: The air-cooled 45° V-Twin engine at the heart of every Softail model is a prime example of what makes a Harley-Davidson motorcycle more satisfying than anything else. Its clean, uncluttered shape fits perfectly in the downtubes of the frame. Twist the throttle and the surge of torque hits you exactly where it counts. The knowledge of what makes an engine truly move a rider runs deep at The Motor Company, and it’s been put to particular good use to power the Softail family. We counterbalance the engine, which means we can bolt it directly to the frame. It keeps the styling tight at the center of the bike. It lets the rider feel the pulse of the V-Twin. Yet there aren’t any vibrations rattling the fillings out of your teeth. What’s good gets even better for 2016. The Softail family gets a power upgrade to the new Screamin’ Eagle® Air-Cooled Twin Cam 110B™ engine. More power is always a Harley-Davidson tradition.
  • Technology: The beauty of the technology on a Softail motorcycle is that it never looks technological. That didn’t happen by accident and it doesn’t come easy, particularly when you consider that the inspiration for the family is the clean, wide-open lines of a vintage hardtail. Clutter it up with too many high tech doo-dads and you have a different machine entirely. Take a look at the anti-lock brakes now standard on many Softail models and available across the line. ABS gives you the control you want on a modern motorcycle. But our teams of industrial designers and engineers weren’t finished until the whole system had a streamlined design. The same goes for the clean look to the handlebars, thanks to a new electronic throttle system on every Softail model. With each passing year, adding a little technology to the ride looks better and better.
  • Handling: If you’ve never experienced a Harley-Davidson Softail motorcycle, it’s time to find out what you’ve been missing. The venerable Softail frame has logged untold millions of miles, and we’ve put every one of them to good use. The result: one of the most fun rides in all of motorcycling. We’ve spent the years making the frame stiffer, the geometry more balanced and the braking more precise. The dazzling wheels are wrapped in premium Dunlop rubber. The low seats give you a confident feeling of being a part of the motorcycle. Get out on a rolling stretch of backcountry highway and it all comes together. The crisp and responsive ride. The killer looks. As long as we build motorcycles like this having a good time will never go out of style.
  • Comfort: The authentic look of a Softail motorcycle comes from the days before anyone knew much about building a suspension. The rigid hardtail frames of yesteryear had a pure, uncluttered look that riders still love. But the bone-rattling ride meant your grandpa needed to strap on a kidney belt to keep his internals intact. The Softail family uses modern technology to consign the kidney belt to the museum. We've kept all the modern comforts where they belong—below the surface of a rad bike loaded with authentic style. You get the classic lines of a vintage "hardtail" frame with the horizontal rear shocks hidden in the guts. It's a signature rigid look, and you'll only find it on a Softail model.
Authentic Styling
  • Custom Tank Graphics and Black Detailing: Check out the tank graphics on the Softail® Slim® S model. With the Olive Gold Denim paint, you get a new military-inspired waterslide graphic. With the Vivid Black Paint, you get a classic Harley-Davidson Bar and Shield medallion. To compliment that look you get blacked out styling details. Black brake levers, clutch assemblies. mirrors, triple clamp and handlebar clamp. Even the headlamp trim ring is black. Either way you go, one thing is sure. The Softail® Slim® S model is one motorcycle that refuses to blend in.
  • Olive Gold Denim or Vivid Black Paint: The Softail® Slim® S model gives you two choices of paint: Olive Gold Denim or Vivid Black. Like all Harley-Davidson® paint it's premium color, laid down thick and flawless on your metal.
  • Stage 1 High Flow Round Air Intake: Sitting between the big cylinders on the Softail® Slim® S model you'll notice a gloss black high flow round air cleaner cover, filter and back plate. This high flow filter lets the engine gulp air in massive quantities in order to make massive amounts of power. Think of it as military muscle.
  • Blacked Out Exhaust: The gloss black 110 cubic inch counter-balanced V-Twin engine on the Softail® Slim® S model feeds its sound to the world through 2 into 2 exhaust with blacked out pipes and mufflers.
  • Narrow Rear Profile: The narrow rear tire and chopped fender with its integrated stop/turn/tail light and side-mounted license plate add up to a stripped-down profile that evokes the iconic, no-nonsense style of classic bobbers.
  • "Hollywood" Handlebars and "Cat Eye" Console: A cutting-edge ride that's rich with Harley-Davidson history, the Softail Slim® S model's old-iron soul comes alive right up front. Unique retro-inspired handlebars call back to the glory days of 1940s bobbers, while the gloss-black headlamp cover and the "Cat Eye" console with its retro speedo face add even more swing-era swagger.
  • Hidden Rear Shocks: If you want a comfortable bike but love that rigid-suspension look, you've come to the right bike. We've kept all the modern comforts where they belong—below the surface of a rad, vintage-looking bike. You get the classic lines of a vintage 'hardtail' frame with the horizontal rear shocks hidden in the guts. It's a signature rigid look, and you'll only find it on a Softail® model.
Iconic Engine
  • Screamin’ Eagle® Air-cooled, Twin Cam 110B™ Engine Power: The Screamin’ Eagle® Air-Cooled, Twin Cam 110B™ engine in the Softail® Slim® S model is built to deliver awesome power and a smooth ride at the same time. Counter balancers dampen the vibration while the big pistons pump out the torque. You get big power on the low end and plenty to keep you happy on the high end. There's a reason we're called The Motor Company. And once you send some fuel to this one, you'll know what it is.
  • Screamin’ Eagle® Air-Cooled, Twin Cam 110B™ Engine Heritage: The knowledge of what makes an engine truly move a rider runs deep at The Motor Company, and it was put to good use when we created this counter-balanced Twin Cam 110™ engine. We sweated bullets perfecting every cubic inch, pushing design and technology forward. And we did it all without compromising one bit of Harley-Davidson's unique styling. Evolved, yet carrying on the legacy of the Flathead, Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead, Evolution® and Twin Cam engines that came before. The performance and durability are a direct result of untold miles logged on the V-Twin since 1909 and the proud heritage that comes from a century's commitment to life on two wheels.
  • Screamin’ Eagle® Air-Cooled, Twin Cam 110B™ Engine Innovation: Fire up the counter-balance Twin Cam 110™ engine and feel the low-end torque unleashed. The colossal 110 cubic inches provide seemingly endless torque with adrenaline-pumping pull through all six gears. And counter balancing keeps the engine rock solid smooth through all six gears. Six speeds, a strong driveline and a low cruising RPM couldn't feel better.
  • Screamin’ Eagle® Air-cooled, Twin Cam 110B™ Engine Style: Pure. Dripping with power. A jewel machined out of metal. There's no mistaking the roots of the Twin Cam 110™ Engine with its Screamin' Eagle® badges: authentic Harley-Davidson style through and through. It's gloss black heads sit atop cylinders with machined cooling fin tips to highlight the muscular shape of the engine. It's a pure, powerful declaration of the value of staying true to what satisfies the rider.
  • Six-Speed Cruise Drive®  Transmission: You want a ride that rumbles—not begs for mercy—when you lean on it a little. The Six-Speed Cruise Drive®  transmission provides smooth, quiet shifting and reduces engine speed on the highway, so you get a better match between engine turnover and road speed. It's a rare ride when a bike responds like this, and a low growl goes a long way when you're opening up the road ahead.
  • H-D® Smart Security System: The factory-installed next-generation security system features a hands-free fob that automatically arms and disarms the vehicle's electronic security functions as you approach and walk away from the bike. Stick the fob on your ignition key ring and let it do all the work. It's this attention to detail and security that make Harley-Davidson® motorcycles unique.
  • Anti-Lock Brakes: This sophisticated, factory-installed ABS gives 'stopping power' a double meaning. You'll turn heads with clean, streamlined design. But more importantly, you get certainty in the saddle knowing your bike's going to behave when you need it.
  • Front Brake System: The front brake system on the Softail® models this year delivers a 40 percent reduction in the amount of lever force required at peak braking. The handlebar master and front cylinders have been restyled. There's a new 4-piston fixed caliper with 32 and 34 mm pistons, premium caliper piston coating to minimize initial displacement and a larger 300 mm rotor. It all adds up to more stopping power with less effort.
  • Dunlop® Tires: Whether you're crossing state lines or staying within city limits, you want sure contact with the road. The front end holds a premium touring tire with a three-ply polyester casing and two fiberglass belts. The back cruiser tire has an advanced tread pattern. Made from a specifically formulated compound, it delivers outstanding grip in wet or dry weather. And since they're from Dunlop®, you know you're wrapping your premium rollers in quality rubber.
  • Engineered for Easy Handling: The Softail Slim® S motorcycle may come on heavy, but it's been designed to handle like a dream, with easy jiffy stand lift-off and great low-speed maneuverability, so you're always riding in control. And when it's time to stop, the low-slung saddle means your feet easily reach the road.
  • New Ergonomically Designed Hand Controls: When you've put as many miles as we have in the saddle, you get a strong feel for what’s right and wrong on a motorcycle. Even the smallest annoyances start to add up with each passing mile, and that’s especially true of the way the handlebar feels in your grip. So we worked over the hand controls with as much passion as we worked over the engine powering the Softail Slim® S motorcycle. The shapes feel good, and are angled to fall right under your thumbs. It’s just one more way each new mile feels even better than the ones that came before.
  • New Electronic Throttle Control and Cruise Control: The minimalist styling of the Softail Slim® S motorcycle gets even cleaner with the addition of standard electronic throttle control. Take a look. There’s no cable cluttering up the handlebars. Cruise control is also included, standard. The switches are placed where you can easily dial in your speed with your left thumb. That’s all it takes to give your wrist a break and keep on hauling down the road.
  • Standard Anti-Lock Brakes: When it comes to the Softail Slim® S model with ABS, "stopping power" has a double meaning. The components of our ABS are tastefully stylized within the wheel hub, so you'll still turn heads with clean, streamlined design. More importantly, though, you get certainty in the saddle knowing your bike's going to behave when you need it.
  • Half Moon Foot Boards: Cruise ahead with both feet in the past with this fresh twist on a classic design. The look may be vintage but the comfort is up-to-date: the chrome-plated steel surround and high durability raised rubber shapes are assembled to offer modern cast-in vibration isolation.
  • Low Solo Seat: The low-slung solo saddle matches the motorcycle's clean, back-to-basics attitude, setting you "in" the bike so you ride like you're a part of it and the open road ahead of you.

The gorgeous young guys of Kinky Angels are notorious in the twink porn fan world for their beauty as well as their horniness. In Love Me Tender, Fuck Me Hard 3 they’re as much fun to watch as ever.

Kevin Warhol, Bel Ami superstar, makes breakfast for his roommates and wakes them up. But breakfast isn’t what they have in mind, as a spontaneous orgy breaks out! The four hot young guys suck each other’s big, throbbing dicks, savor the taste of each other’s balls, and lick each other’s pink puckers. This leads them to insert fingers and then cocks into those tight, wanting assholes. Just when you think the party is over, they move to a bedroom where three of the guys lie on their backs, heads hanging off the bed so that Kevin can dip his dick into each of their mouths in turn. Then he hops on the bed to eat each asshole, one after another, and then move down the line to fuck each ass. Next, the three bottoms lie on top of each other so that Kevin can fuck them from top to bottom! Don’t lose your load before you witness the moaning, groaning, cum-splashing finish!

Misha Akunin drops in to visit Gino Mosca and Kevin Warhol. Gino peeks from the doorway as Kevin and Misha get frisky, and then Gino lures Misha into the adjacent dining room. While Kevin is in the kitchen, Gino starts to fuck Misha. Kevin eventually joins his friends in a hot threeway!

Adam Archuleta is working out when Kevin Warhol joins him. While playing a ukulele (because why not?), Joel Birkin watches them using the punching bag. He drops his pants, revealing an enormous cock, and moves closer. Soon Adam and Kevin can’t help noticing their naked friend and they drop what they’re doing. Kevin slowly, sensually sucks Joel’s ever hardening dick and Adam kisses his way down Joel’s body. Adam and Kevin take turns worshiping Joel’s cock and balls. This prolonged oral session will make you pop!

Scenes of shower sex, another hot threeway, and an intimate one-on-one fuck session close out this sensual, gorgeous quintet of scenes from Kinky Angels.

TWO plays celebrating the lives and music of contemporary musical icons are coming to Manchester.

The marvellous Meeting Joe Strummer, about the late Clash frontman, was one of the big hits at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2006 and it's finally touring, visiting Bury Met from Wednesday.

Returning to town after a successful run at Studio Salford and opening the Cornwall Film Festival to a sell-out crowd, is Stella Grundy's Nico Icon Play, concentrating on the time the former Velvet Underground chanteuse Nico spent in Manchester.

Meeting Joe Strummer, says writer/director/star Paul Hodson "all started when my actor friend Steve North suggested we do something about Strummer.

"Being a huge fan I was intrigued but I knew that I did not want to write a biopic. So I did lots of research - listening to the records, reading the books, interviewing people who knew him.

"Then I realised that what I wanted to write was something from the experience of Strummer's fans.

"So I developed these two characters [played by Huw Higginson and North] who meet at the Rock Against Racism gig in Victoria Park in 1978, which for many people who saw him there that day was a life-changing experience."

Nico Icon Play, says Stella, "is being staged to fit the venue, a large factory type space and I have re-worked the second half so Nico's through-line is a little clearer. This production also features a live appearance from Arthur Brown!"

Meeting Joe Strummer is at The Met Arts Centre, Market Street, Bury, on Wednesday and Thursday; Nico Icon is at Islington Mill on Friday and Saturday (November 23/24) as part of the Salford Film Festival.

rmm man page

rmm — remove nmh messages

rmm [-help] [-version] [+folder] [msgs] [-unlink | -nounlink] [-rmmproc program] [-normmproc]

By default, rmm will remove the specified messages by renaming each of the message files with a site-dependent prefix (usually a comma). Such files will then need to be removed in some manner after a period of time. Many sites arrange for cron to remove these files once a day, so check with your system administrator.

Alternately, if you wish for rmm to really remove the files representing these messages, you can use the -unlink switch. But messages removed by this method cannot be later recovered.

If you prefer a more sophisticated method of `removing' messages, you can define the rmmproc profile component. For example, you can add a profile component such as

rmmproc:    /home/foouser/bin/rmm_msgs

Then instead of simply renaming the message file, rmm will call the named program or script to handle the files that represent the messages to be deleted. The -rmmproc switch may be used to override this profile component.  The -normmproc switch disables the use of any rmmproc profile component and negates all prior -rmmproc switches.

An example of a rmmproc script that saves a message based in its Message-ID is provided in /etc/nmh/rmmproc.messageid.  To enable it, simply add an rmmproc component that names it, to your profile.

Some users of csh prefer the following:

alias rmm 'refile +d'

where folder `+d' is a folder for deleted messages, and

alias mexp 'rm `mhpath +d all`'

is used to “expunge” deleted messages.

The current message is not changed by rmm, so a next will advance to the next message in the folder as expected.

$HOME/.mh_profile The user profile

Profile Components

Path: To determine the user's nmh directory
Current-Folder: To find the default current folder
rmmproc: Program to delete the message

See Also

`+folder' defaults to the current folder
`msgs' defaults to cur

If a folder is given, it will become the current folder.

Since rmm and refile use your rmmproc to delete the message, the rmmproc must not call rmm or refile without specifying -normmproc, or you will create an infinite loop.
