Showing posts from March, 2010

Spring Break

Yesterday we visited the Byodo-In Temple and felt like I was transformed back to Tennessee.  The grounds were so beautiful, very shady, water falls and streams.  Azaleas!  Above the temple, the view is spectacular.  I am so glad we got this trip worked in, we had tried to spend some time here in the past and things did not work out.  Very cool and windy, we did check out Kaneohe Bay beach area, some camping cabins, DROVE across an airplane landing strip (yes they even have a RR type crossing arm!) and took in some bowling.  I did manage to get a little sewing on my current project early yesterday morning but no pics to share yet.   Here is a little of what we saw yesterday.

Introducing "Brutus the Cat"

I completed my 1st little block from the Catalicious quilt and started March's yesterday.  I really need to shop for floss as I don't have similar shading threads in my small collection that I brought with me but am plodding on with what I have.  No time to look for supplies, none in my town.

Also a few pictures to post from the weekend.  Saturday we played in the water at Ka'ena Point Beach and Sunday we played near Kokohead (near the blowhole) looking for fossils.  Our first shark teeth finds in Hawaii!

Lava Chair

One Block Wonder revision

Tried working yesterday with the howling 20 mph winds with gusts up to 50 mph.   I had to shut doors to keep things from blowing everywhere and even windows at times.  Too bad about all those that travel from all over the world to get married here with photo shoots along the beach.  The newspaper this morning included some very interesting wedding photos with clothing almost blown up, out, over and the same for the hair!  The beach across the street from us includes one wedding chapel and if you are on the beach from 9-4, I'm sure you will see wedding parties and photographers somewhere along the beach.

Back to quilting events, I was not happy with the finish for my One Block Wonder, bought some brighter fabric to change up the borders.  After playing with it a little, I decided I could leave all as is and just add another plain border with this brighter fabric and I believe it works.  The size is pushing it for wall art though, I'm not sure it will fit @ my entry at home in…

Look at what arrived in the mail....

I've gotten the vintage linen bug and was able to get a good bargain on Ebay the other day.  Don't you just love this one?  This will be a quilt backing someday.

Currently, I'm working on THIS project.  I think it is so cute and lucky for me I packed some DMC embroidery floss.  I will need more but I have some colors to get me started.  Catalicious!
My Quilts for Kids project is finished and on its way back to the mainland.  This really is an easy way to help a child.  The organization supplies the fabric and pattern.  For my quilt, the strips were cut from each fabric and the focus fabric was already cut into the correct number of 6" squares.  Very little cutting, fast sewing and oh so cute!   You supply the batting and return postage.  We picked up a cute fabric and coordinates for Mickey to work on another quilt using this same pattern.  Here is my finished quilt "Ride 'Em Cowboy".  Why don't you follow the link and request your kit today.

And whil…

1st finish for March and some water play

Several projects are nearing the finish.... but I do have one complete!  This is my Dresden Plate runner, part of a project with Greenie's Quilting Geese where we are making dresden plate projects all year.  I needed someone to hold this for me to get a good picture but am so happy to report that this one is DONE with a picture.  This runner is perfect to use for Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day and Easter as well as for spring.    Quilted free motion on my tiny little travel machine which is not ideal for quilting.  Especially on the dining table.  And given that I have had a set in machine for the past 34 years working with a flush surface....  Ahhhh, but challenges are what really make the project fun sometimes don't you think?

Then after visiting the local High School Art exhibit Saturday, we were off to explore a beach at the end of the westshore of the island.  What a great day!  The water was calm and clear, the sky so blue after lots of VOG and haze for months…

Avoid overuse of acetaminophen

  • By The Newnan Times-Herald
  • |
  • Feb. 23, 2018 - 1:25 AM

Nationwide, we have seen a high volume of influenza-like illness since Jan. 1, with the state of Georgia reporting 671 hospitalizations in the metro-Atlanta area due to influenza this season.

Those looking for relief from a cold or flu may not know that acetaminophen – such as Tylenol – comes in combination with many other medications used to treat those symptoms. More than 600 medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, including cough and flu medicines, contain the active ingredient acetaminophen to help relieve pain and reduce fever.

When used as directed, acetaminophen is safe and effective, but taking too much can lead to severe liver damage and potentially death. Therefore, those taking more than one medicine at a time may be putting themselves at risk.

Symptoms of acetaminophen overdose may mimic flu or cold symptoms. Early signs, less than 24 hours, can include stomach pain and cramping, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, sweating and fatigue. Worsening symptoms include urinating less than normal, pain in the upper right side of your abdomen and an enlarged liver. If you notice signs of an overdose, call your local poison control center or 911 immediately.

According to the FDA, the current maximum recommended adult dose of acetaminophen is 4,000 milligrams per day. If giving acetaminophen to a child, be sure to use a product that’s meant for children and has a lower dose – based on child’s weight. Always be sure to keep medicines away and out of sight.

The Acetaminophen Awareness Coalition recommends these four steps to use acetaminophen safely:

1. Always read and follow the label. Never take more medicine than the label says.

2. Know if your medicines contain acetaminophen. It is important to check the active ingredients listed on the labels of all your medicines to see if they contain acetaminophen – sometimes listed as “APAP,” “Acetam,” or other shortened versions of the word. Be sure to ask your health care provider or pharmacist if it contains acetaminophen as the active ingredient.

3. Take only one medicine at a time that contains acetaminophen. You can take too much

acetaminophen if you use more than one medicine that contains acetaminophen at the same time. Do not exceed the recommended dose on any product containing acetaminophen.

4. Ask your health care provider or a pharmacist if you have questions about dosing instructions or medicines that contain acetaminophen and always inform your physician of all other medicines – over-the-counter and prescription – and supplements you take.

Acetaminophen overdose is one of the most common poisonings worldwide, accounting for more than 56,000 emergency room visits, 26,000 hospitalizations and an estimated 458 deaths due to acute liver failure each year, with the highest rate among patients aged 15-24.

If you do get the cold or flu, and despite taking some of the cold remedies noted that contain acetaminophen, are still having symptoms like fever and pain, check with your doctor or pharmacist for alternative medicines available that do not contain acetaminophen.

There are times when people encounter problems involving their ears and when it comes to this, one of the most common problems that people have is tinnitus. If you have a tinnitus problem then chances are you have a buzzing or ringing in your ears. This can be very irritating at times and some people find this to be truly uncomfortable.

Should a problem with tinnitus become intolerable, you need not worry for it is something that can easily be treated. When you experience a buzzing in your ears, it is possible that different reasons are to blame when you are suffering from a tinnitus disorder.

When it comes to this, it is possible that you have something like wax build up in your ears but it is also possible that you have infections.

The way tinnitus is scientifically defined is as the perception of sound by people without the presence of any external sound. A ringing sound is what is usually heard by people when it comes to this. Technically, the sound is only described as that of a ringing one but it is more of a buzzing sound.

If you are experiencing a problem with tinnitus, you do not have a disease. Taking tinnitus into consideration, it is a symptom for another underlying condition. If you are experiencing a ringing in your ears, you should have yourself evaluated because it is a good indicator that something may be wrong with your system.

Taking a problem with tinnitus into consideration, it carries a scientific explanation but there is also an earthly belief attributed to it. You can rely on Eastern and New Age beliefs to tell you that tinnitus is a condition that develops because your physical body tunes in to your energy body.
Regardless of the explanation that is given to it, a ringing in the ears is a problem that should always be addressed.

A tinnitus disorder can be caused by hearing impairments. Buzzing in the ears can be caused by another thing and this involves the medicines people take. When a person experiences a ringing in the ears, it is possible that noise induced hearing loss is behind it.

Something subjective that you may be dealing with is a buzzing in the ears. What you have here is a subjective phenomenon and this is why no tests will be able to diagnose it. Even if you can depend on an audiometric exam in most cases, here you cannot do so.

It is possible for a tinnitus problem to only be a slight problem and this is if the person does not feel too uncomfortable when it comes to the condition. In this case, it could also be something that is catastrophic.

Cases of tinnitus which are categorized as catastrophic usually leads people to experience sleep deprivation and there could be interferences with their daily activities.

One rather common problem that people from all over the world face is tinnitus even if most people consider it to be selective. For each of these people who hear a buzzing in their ears, there are numerous causes that can be attributed to the onset of tinnitus.

A buzzing in the ears caused by tinnitus is a problem that those who are over the ages of 50 years old are susceptible to.

When it comes to tinnitus, this is a subjective problem that cannot be diagnosed or measured by audiometers and the like. Let’s make it clear that this is not a disease. It is possible for this condition to be treated.

This Stylist Was Sick of Wearing Extensions to Hide Her Natural Hair, So She Got an Incredible Makeover

You wouldn’t take a car to a mechanic who had never driven. You’d probably hesitate to trust a doctor who was visibly and obviously unhealthy. And we think it’s fair to say that you’d prefer to buy treats from a baker who looked like they indulged and enjoyed at least every once in awhile.

When we pay for and receive a service, we all obviously want to feel confident in the person providing it, and most of the confidence comes from being able to believe, sometimes with just a glance, that he or she has all of the necessary experience and expertise. You want to feel, no matter how big or small the service might be, that you’re placing your possessions – or even yourself! – in safe, competent hands.

We don’t suggest or support the practice of judging a book by its cover, of course, but sometimes the evidence of somebody’s skill is right there for potential customers to see. A prime example? Beauty technicians! Whether you’re going for a haircut or a mani-pedi, you’re most likely looking at how your potential stylist takes care of herself. It’s only fair and sensible, right?

So tell us— what would you think if you want to get your hair done, and your stylist looked like this?

Natalie before makeover removed hair extensionsTheMakeoverGuy

Now, let’s be clear: the woman in this photo, Natalie, is beautiful! We especially love her bright eyes and happy smile. But take a closer look at her hair. Yup, those are extensions— and not particularly healthy ones, at that!

Natalie works at the salon reVamp! salonspa in Minneapolis, home to The Makeover Guy himself, Christopher Hopkins. The salon specializes in makeovers, and that includes employees like Natalie! After all, if somebody comes into the salon looking for a new, fabulous look, she needs to trust that everybody there knows what they’re doing.

In the description for the video of Natalie’s makeover, The Makeover Guy explains why the otherwise lovely Natalie needed a fresh take on her hair:

It is the rare reVamp! employee who doesn’t undergo some sort of image transition. Natalie is very talented but her first impression might not have convinced a new client of that.

We’re pretty impressed she gave up her extensions to start the process of healthy hair that she can grow out without the need to clip someone else’s hair into hers.

She’s definitely starting out on the right foot! (and we know she’ll have many more looks as time goes on).

So why did it take so long for Natalie to give up the fake extensions and embrace her natural hair? Well, as it turns out, she prefers a feminine look she can really play with and style, and regretted a short haircut that she felt made her look too masculine. We can see why she’d be nervous to give up the length, but the result of this makeover show why she had nothing to worry about!

Watch the video from the Makeover Guy to see what Natalie looks like now!

Gorgeous, right? As Hopkins says in the video, it’s even easier to pay attention to Natalie’s beautiful face now that she’s not hiding behind fake hair.

What do you think of Natalie’s transformation? Have you ever tried to “fix” a too-short haircut with extensions before? Has the appearance of a stylist made you nervous to trust her before? Share your own experiences and thoughts with us!

Jake Tudge talks about his first month interning with E.ON, his prize for winning the Engineering Undergraduate of the Year Award

It’s been one month since I joined E.ON as an Undergraduate Trainee for my year placement, and what a month it has been! I’ve clambered inside a power station boiler, visited our international operations and met some of the leading authorities in the sector. A varied, but incredibly exciting, month and I can’t wait for it to continue! And to think, all this came from sitting down one Sunday afternoon to complete an Undergraduate of the Year application, which I honestly thought would just be a useful experience of applying for a job…

When I arrived for my first day at E.ON HQ I was incredibly nervous, but the first thing that struck me was the kindness of the people at E.ON. Every single person I have met has welcomed me and taken the time to talk to me; this really has made it a very approachable environment and has meant I haven’t been nervous about asking a question that may appear silly! The offices in Coventry are brilliant with large atriums, flexible meeting spaces, open plan offices and a very relaxed feel, but it all makes for a positive working environment.

Week 1:
(picture: E.ON HQ, Coventry)
It’s amazing how an office environment speaks another language; most of my first week involved understanding the acronyms, terms and code used around the company. My thanks go to Bryony, Engineering Undergraduate of the Year 2012, for helping me with a smooth transition of roles. After lots of questions, setting up of accounts and organising of initial meetings, work was ready to begin with a site trip to one of our CHP (Combined Heat and Power) plants in Cheshire. Bryony took the time to show me around one of our largest sites and it was absolutely daunting! For someone used to excel sheets and aerodynamics, what essentially was a large chemistry set, was incredibly intimidating, but at the same time absolutely fascinating! And so, my year with E.ON has commenced; I can’t wait to learn more and I’m very excited for my time ahead.

Week 2:

The heart of our business is the generation fleet and the people who manage these complex sites. E.ON has been very supportive; they understand it’s an advantage for undergraduate trainees to understand what happens outside of the office! As a result, I was sent to spend a week at one of our CHP sites in Liverpool. This was a great opportunity to comprehend one of our power stations, as well as understand operational requirements from our colleagues on site. While the trip was great fun and extremely interesting, it also highlighted the importance of operational safety within our company, as there was a lot of onsite procedures and personal protective equipment (PPE). This raised the distinct difference between a conventional ‘office’ job and a more ‘hands-on’ role. I certainly enjoyed visiting a site; it’s going to be exciting to complete projects in the office, which I can see have a direct impact on site – a great balance of the two areas.
(PPE - No pic of me in my overalls unfortunately!)

Week 3:

E.ON’s CHP sites are spread across the country, ranging from Kent to Cheshire, and the team I am in (Performance) are required to identify potential opportunities. As a result, we have a monthly team meeting with our performance engineers, chemist and managers. These meetings are held on sites across the country and often include a hotel stay and team meal the night before; this is a fantastic way to bond with the team and discuss work, before the official meeting the next day. My first meeting provided a detailed understanding into the current CHP operations at E.ON; I was apprehensive about getting lost, but the team kept me involved the whole day and explained everything in great detail. As an undergraduate you are worried about being a hassle, but E.ON sees their undergraduates as a fresh pair of eyes; perhaps identifying new areas of opportunity. Once again, E.ON has showed how they value their undergraduates and it’s great to not be worried about asking questions or suggesting new ideas!                                                                   (A CHP site can get rather complex)

Week 4:

This really was a week like no other; electric bicycles, power plant tours, presentations and valuable networking! As part of my Engineering Undergraduate of the Year award, a friend and I were sent to Sweden for a week to view E.ON’s international operations. It was a brilliant opportunity to see another side to the global E.ON business. We were really well looked after by both E.ON UK and E.ON Sweden with a lovely hotel in Malmö centre, presentations from global energy experts and personalised tours around some exciting sites. A highlight in the trip was a chance to tour the district heating network, which is part of the world-recognised sustainable city of Malmö. E.ON has heavily invested towards a sustainable city and eco-homes; these work directly with the consumer so they can understand their own energy usage. It was the small things that made a difference, such as iPad apps to show energy usage, and user-friendly interface control systems; a real insight into what could happen in the UK soon! I’d like to thank all those from E.ON UK and E.ON Sweden who made this such a valuable and enjoyable trip.

To conclude:
And so, earlier this year I was frantically applying for placements and wondering where I would go, and now I’m working for a forward-thinking and innovative global company. I’ve met like-minded undergraduates (Many who are also now working for E.ON), made some brilliant friends and, very importantly, I believe I’ve found an industry I could see myself working for in the future. All those who have actually read this far (I’ll be surprised if many!), should not consider the possibility of not succeeding; enter the Undergraduate of the Year awards and you could see yourself having a very enriching experience! Once again, thank you to E.ON and TARGETjobs for such an opportunity

If you think you can win the engineering undergraduate of the year award then pre-register today. You could be joining Jake next year at the E.ON Headquarters.

Ei has been to 3 of our TARGETjobs events and loved them all, read her thoughts, hints and tips!

About me
Name:  Ei Nge Htut
University: Newnham College, Cambridge
Course: Law

Events attended:
1. TARGETjobs Law – December 2011
2. City law for ethnic minorities – June 2012
3. Women in Investment Management – November 2012

Why did you apply?
I applied for the first law event because I wanted to find out more about a career in commercial law. After attending my university law fair as a fresher, I came away more confused than well informed! Therefore, I thought that a structured, one day event would be a great way to get the specific information I needed. The opportunity to network with representatives from major law and investment management firms seemed too good to pass up. As I had such a positive experience on my first event, I continued to apply for various TARGETjobs events. For these later ones, a real drawing point was the case study or commercial awareness exercises. Although they seemed intimidating at first, I wanted to get used to problem solving on the spot, with a commercial mindset. I thought these group exercises would also be a good trial run for future assessment days.

What were your goals for the day?
My main goal was to ask as many questions as possible. It was really useful to research the firms that I would be meeting. I prepared general questions on the working culture, quality of training and type of work on offer. This enabled me to compare firms quite easily during the application process. For my favourite firms, I did more in depth research, reading up on recent deals or mergers so I could ask interesting questions that reflected my commitment. For these sessions, formal business attire is a must. It is also helpful to have your own notebook on hand so you can take detailed notes throughout the day on each firm. I had a large notebook reserved for these types of events and open days - it was my personal bible during the application process.
It can be nerve racking to network or present on the spot but try to participate as fully as possible. Being well informed of current affairs is important and particularly useful in the presentation exercises.  Group situations can be challenging and almost impossible to prepare for – just be yourself, be assertive and get your opinions across clearly, without overshadowing other members of the group.

                                               Tips for on the day?
1. Make full use of the networking sessions.Talk to trainees about working life and their experience of the application process – these anecdotes are invaluable!
2. Follow up on contacts made. Contact representatives one or two days after the event, thanking them and asking any follow up questions.
3. Get to know other students on the event. These events are more enjoyable when you have a rapport with fellow students – be friendly!
4. Put yourself forward. Be the spokesperson for your group – don’t be shy!
5. Don’t forget about graduate recruitment. Ask all those burning questions about the application process.

What did you learn?
Commercial awareness is a skill that must be developed over time. It is about analysing the information you have from your client’s perspective to achieve the best possible solution.

Are you looking to develop a career in Investment Management? Then look no further than our Women in Investment Management event being held on 21st October 2013! Few spaces remaining - APPLY NOW!

TARGETjobs Weekly News Roundup

Hello and happy Friday,

It’s Harriet writing again to bring you the weekly summary of all the new content here at TARGETjobs online.

Firstly though, I was impressed to see that Alan has now reached £6256.52 from his initial £1 investment. You can follow Alan and his One Pound Challenge here.

But onto the job stuff…

Are you interested in a career in property? Many firms are now opening their graduate schemes, including property giant Cushman & Wakefield. If you’re making an application, check out what to expect from the application form and online tests, as well as our tips for answering Cushman & Wakefield’s application form questions.

You’ve probably heard of Teach First; the scheme to promote teaching as a desirable career start has proved incredibly popular with graduates. Aiming to replicate this success, new organisation Frontline has been launched to attract fresh talent into social work by using a similar model. If this appeals to you, read our advice on how to get hired by Frontline and why it isn’t a choice for the faint-hearted.

If you would prefer to make your impact on how the country is run, then it’s well worth spending some time learning about how to get a job with the Civil Service Fast Stream. You could find yourself helping to improve employment prospects and defending the country against natural disasters.

The Civil Service Fast Stream accepts a 2.2, but most employers in the finance sector require a 2.1 for entry onto their graduate programmes. If you didn’t make the grade, however, you should check out our updated guide to getting a finance, banking or insurance job with a 2.2, including how to explain any mitigating circumstances.

And finally, before I go (for good, as today is my last day here at TARGETjobs), remember to check out the deadlines for graduate jobs that are closing this week.

Have a great weekend – and a brilliant term at uni if, like me, that’s your next stop.

Got your place booked for IT's not just for the boys event? Zoe attended last year, read her top tips to prepare!

Name: Zoe Redfern
University: University of Lincoln
Course: Mcomp Computer Information Systems (Year 4)
Event attended: IT’s not just for the boys!

Why did you apply?
I applied to IT’s not just for the boys! after reading about it via Twitter and honestly thinking that it would not only help me with my confidence levels and self-esteem; but also how to approach the time when it comes to applying for graduate jobs. I found the life coach extremely useful and it made me feel a lot better about being a minority studying IT.

How did you prepare?
After being accepted on to the attendance list for the event I researched all the companies that were attending and looked at what opportunities they all had to offer in the specific areas that I was interested in. Being involved with Microsoft since my second year (Microsoft Student Partner and Windows 8 Student Ambassador); I was especially interested in their graduate programs and whether my extra-curricular efforts would be of interest to them. I made a list of questions for each of the companies and then a list to ask the recent graduates that were on each of the schemes at each of the companies. It was great to hear things from a female perspective as well as to learn that not all of them had an IT or Technology based degree.

I was already going to wear business style dress as all the sponsors were attending. I submitted a question to the panel and mine was chosen to be read out. (I asked for advice on how a female in technology can make her mark in the years to come.)

Do you have any preparation tips?
1) Research the companies that are attending!
2) Be armed with a pen and paper
3) Go with questions that you aim to get answers to
4) Be interested in all the opportunities that are available (speak to everyone you can and make the most of this)
5) Aim to keep a good posture and facial expression throughout. You will meet lots of fascinating people who would also love to hear about your experiences and career goals.

What did you learn?
How to present myself in interviews and that it’s actually a great thing to be part of a minority! The event did absolute wonders for my self-esteem and confidence going into the most stressful part of my degree.

There are still places left for the events in October and November!  APPLY NOW!

A day in the life of a sales & trading intern

An intern from the finance-interns community, blogs about his typical day as a sales & trading intern

5.30 am – Turn off the alarm and sleepily make my way down to the train station.
6.10 am – Jump on the DLR to work, it’s early but at least you get a seat!
6.45 am – Arrive at the office.  I would ordinarily try to arrive before the rest of the team in order to prepare for the morning meeting and get the various documents needed ready so that everyone is set up for the rest of the day. Also spend a bit of time checking Bloomberg, FT and Reuters for the overnight headline news.
7.20 am – The morning meeting is a global conference call initiated by the Head of Trading in order to bring the desk up to speed with the market movements that occurred overnight. The Asian offices often provide this information. Then the London Research and Strategy team outlines their opinions of the market and their forecasts of key data being released during London trading hours.
8 am – As I worked on a Foreign Exchange (FX) Sales and Trading desk, a market that is open 24 hours a day, the London office would ask the other offices around the world to provide liquidity to clients during the night. This risk taken by the overseas offices needs to be transferred to the London office, via a process called Back-to-Back trade execution.  My role as an intern encompassed ensuring that these deals were inputted into the system. The number of these deals that needed to be inputted varied on a day-to-day basis. Consequently, sometimes it would take a couple of hours; sometimes it would be only a few minutes.
9.30 am – Now was the time to nip out and grab some breakfast as normally this was a brief lull in the day as the market had often already executed the deals that would allow them to hold the trading position for the day.
10 am – My role also involved executing the daily fixes on Non-Deliverable Forward trades. These deals are USD exchanges for traditionally illiquid currencies such as Korean Won, Chilean Peso, Brazilian Real and Russian Rouble to name a few. Due to the illiquid nature of the markets, it means that large volume trades could have a significant impact on the exchange rate of the currency versus the US Dollar. As a result the Central Bank of each of these nations fixes the exchange rate on the currency pair in order to ensure that the exchange rate doesn’t spiral out of control. My responsibility was to apply the fixing rate to each trade once I have accessed the published rate on Thomson Reuters.
11 am – Often I would try to do a lot of reading and research because the trading floor often has high periods of activity but can often, particularly on US Public Holidays be exceptionally quiet. Therefore, I would often speak to the various people on the floor, both Middle office and Front Office in order to hear their thoughts on the market as well as reading the Research publications that would be sent out by the In-House Research team. I personally found that the Trading floor was the perfect place to build and develop my knowledge of the Sales and Trading component of Investment Banking as it provided you with so many sources of quality information.
12.30 pm – It’s about half way through the day now, probably a good time to go and grab some lunch. Often it would involve grabbing some lunch for the Traders, because if it was a particularly volatile day then they might be unable to leave their desk in order to react and maintain a positive P+L.
1.30 pm – Every month would be the ECB Monetary Policy announcement. With the turbulent nature of the Eurozone area in the last couple of years, during my internship this was often the most important announcement and the TV sets on the trading floor and desk were all tuned into Bloomberg to listen to any statements Mario Draghi (the ECB president) would make giving an insight into the potential future policy decisions of the ECB.
2 pm – A key aspect of my role revolved around correcting any booking errors that would mean that my firm was unable to confirm and match off the trade details we have in our system with those details being confirmed by the counterparty. As a result, Back Office would inform me of the incorrect deals, I would then liaise with the Salesperson or Trader who executed the deal in order to find out if we were correct or incorrect. If we were incorrect then I would be charged with the responsibility of changing the details on the trade. This meant I had to be highly accurate as any amendments I made that were in correct would lead to a misrepresented Profit & Loss figure shown in their dealing book. Therefore, it was of the utmost importance that I was 100% accurate. Furthermore, any errors I made meant I was just creating more work for myself!
5 pm – Once the orders could be passed to the US office, because traditional London trading hours had now come to an end, it meant I could begin my end of day checks; including checking my trades had been input into the system correctly and ensuring there were no trades that were mismatching.

6 pm – Typically I would try to be one of the last people in the office, ensuring that I had checked with Middle Office and Back Office and that there was nothing outstanding that needed my immediate attention. If I got the all clear, it was time to head home for the evening and get ready for another early start in the morning!

Find out what a past Engineer your future attendee thought of the event!

Name: Nicola Berry
University: Leeds Metropolitan University
Course: Civil Engineering
Event/s attended: Engineer your Future

This July, representing 50% of the female population of full time students in my year, I graduated from Leeds Metropolitan with a 2.1 in Civil Engineering, cap thrown into the air and all…

As many of you may be realising, balancing your final year and filling in those dreaded graduate job/scheme applications at the same time can certainly be a challenge
. It was during a Sunday morning job search session that I came across the Target Jobs event page.

After putting the same effort into the event application as I would for a job (including a telephone interview – Great practice!), I was invited to attended the ‘Engineer your Future’ event that was hosted at the Shell offices in London and specifically for female students in the Engineering field. I think it is important to address that as it goes, sex is no longer an important factor in the working world. A life progression that I am well aware of having been brought up in the Isle of Man that happens to boast not only the longest active parliament but also the first female vote. So my initial advice is, if you want to strive for those STEM subjects’ girls, go for it. After all, if the Spice Girls taught us anything “Girl Power” is certainly up there!
Being one of two female engineers on my course it was the most relieving and also intimidating experience to be grouped together with two hundred other female engineers, all dressed to impress and wearing their name badges proudly.

Sat on a table with students from Warwick, UCL and Cambridge, I did at first feel like I didn't belong as I wasn't representing a red brick University myself and it was incredibly reassuring to hear that all of us had gone through the same application, studied the same modules, and shared goals, aspirations and struggles.
As well as being introduced to my new ongoing friendships, the day involved inspiring speeches from numerous iconic women in Engineering, life coaches (yes, we did have to get happy clappy) and had the opportunity to get involved in workshops with recruiters from many large corporations, of which I was in the process of applying to many of! We received advice, contacts and important information on their individual recruitment processes. It is important to let your personality and passions show. Speak up, make friends and shine!

From this initial event, along with approximately ten other girls, I was lucky enough to be invited to EDF’s first UK annual Energy Day Event. Not only did I get the VIP London eye experience and a delicious meal, I was in the company and conversations of recruiters, engineers and managers of a company that I do hope to be apart of. I received the advice, connections and an insight into my potential future career.

As it stands, I am currently living in Paris learning a new language in the city where the EDF headquarters are located and I will be using my new connections and making an application.

We live in a world where opportunities are becoming endless if you are willing to embrace them. So my advice to all would be to take every opportunity that comes your way and not to let the grass grow around your feet. I learnt that passion and enthusiasm does not go un-appreciated. It was this same positive attitude that gave me the opportunity to travel to Malawi, Africa and help volunteer on a Civil Engineering project this summer.

Target Jobs hosts events for everyone and also provides information for upcoming jobs. Get pro-active and help develop the life and career you want!

Well said Nicola! If you're now feeling inspired and want to attend our next Engineer your future event in November, CLICK HERE to apply now!

We find out what it takes to reach the National Student Challenge final from last year's runner up!

Liam came third in the 2012/2013 National Student Challenge winning £250! Read his top tips to make it here!

Full name: Liam Bryant
Age: 22
University attended: The University of Bath
Course studied: MEng Civil & Architectural Engineering

I entered the National Student Challenge for the first time in 2010, when it first started as the Universities’ Brightest Business Brain. My reasons for entering were mainly out of interest to compare my performance with other students. I didn’t expect to do that well, but I got through to the final and have reapplied ever since.

The final has always been fantastic in my opinion. My first time I went in really nervous, but it’s such a good time meeting new people, and getting to work in a team on a range of cool challenges. I may be a bit weird, but I find I enjoy overcoming problems with a bunch of strangers!

Everyone has always been so friendly and fun on the day, and it has been a great opportunity to talk to get some practice at what a real job application will be like, while also helping to make my CV stand out.

Top tips
Before I go any further I should confess that I intend to re-enter the challenge this coming year, so this presents a slight conflict of interest. If any of the advice seems terrible, I apologise for having failed to stay neutral.

The first and most critical point is not to be too aggressive, these are team exercises. I understand, and even occasionally succumb, to the impression that you need to show off and shout the loudest to stand out from the other contestants. This is the exact opposite of what you should do. The assessors are looking for confidence yes, but also teamwork.

My other suggestion is to support other members of your team. There is often a member of the group who has some good ideas, but is not confident enough to speak up. Help this person share their ideas and contributions, either by repeating it for the group or by asking them questions, and both you and the team will benefit.

The last year
This last year, since the competition, has been really good. I spent my giant novelty check on buying myself a tablet which I am rarely separated from and was a lot of help staying on top of all my university work.
I also entered the Undergraduate of the Year competition, another TARGETjobs competition, to win an international placement. Although I did not win, I made it through to the final, and hopefully came close, and I am certain that my performance was improved by the experience and confidence I gained at the NSC.

I’m just starting my fourth and final year at Bath University, and am starting to look for a graduate job. Despite my placements I still have little idea what I want to do as I have a whole range of fields that I am looking at. I am really hoping that my efforts in TARGETjobs Events have helped develop my CV, and I certainly know that my interviewing techniques have improved.

But before I get too far ahead of myself I need to focus on maintaining my average and graduating with a good degree!

Fancy taking on Liam this year? Well why not enter here!

Hello from the TARGETjobs Events team!

Each week we hear from hundreds of applicants trying to secure a space at one of our events. So, whether you’re a future STEMinist, interested in Investment Management, our Asia and Middle East fair or many others, we have some tips on how to make your application stand out!

1.       Write a good cover letter: Your letter should be laid out correctly and contain at least two paragraphs worth of information. We’re looking to hear a little about you and why you want to attend our event; so whether there is a certain sponsor you’re interested in meeting or a passion for the sector this is the time to tell us and stand out from other applicants!

2.       Update your CV: Include details of the grades you received both at school/college and since attending university. Most of our events require applicants to be able to display academic excellence – if it’s not included at this stage we may not have time to chase you for it.

3.       UCAS points: If you did A levels, a BTEC, IB or similar it’s likely you have UCAS points, something we ask for as part of our application form. Working them out only takes a few minutes if you use a calculator like this one and goes a long way towards making you look prepared and informed - checking ‘no’ and listing them individually does not!

4.       Attention to detail: Make sure you double check your application; have you given us the right telephone number, uploaded the right documents and included any details we have asked for.

5.       Get the name of the event right: Need I say more? Make it clear you have read the information available to you and understand what you’re applying for.

If you follow all of the above and meet the event criteria it’s almost certain we’ll be inviting you to a telephone interview before long. So, best of luck with your application and we’ll hopefully see you at an event soon!

Interning at Barclays, winner of the Arts & Humanities Undergraduate of the Year award talks about her prize

I was glad to have had my interview at Barclays Canary Wharf Headquarters, because that meant I had got over the “Hogwarts factor” by the time my first day arrived. I met the other interns, and over the next few days we went through some brilliant training that covered presenting, networking, organisation and teambuilding.

I won’t spoil it for anyone thinking of applying this year, but I quickly realised that this is a brilliant well-run internship. We had a group project to work on as interns, which involved us meeting a really exciting client within a couple of days. We researched, had meetings and debated what to put in our final presentation to that client, before presenting to a panel of senior management from Barclays Wealth and Investment Management, including the Chief Executive - Peter Horrell.

We also got involved with our teams from the first week, which has been great, as it really gives you an idea of what working here would be like. I am based in the International Bank, which means that we deal with clients in all different areas of the world, as well as international clients in the UK, who live in other countries.
The International Bank provides banking services, offers foreign exchange for those who need to change currency, and also offers ways in which clients can invest their money. It really depends on what the clients want – maybe to save for retirement, maybe some extra income from their savings, or sometimes something to pass on to their children or grandchildren.

I’ve been lucky enough to have been involved in the business management side of things, which means that I’ve helped translate some of the overall business strategy into every day tangible change for my colleagues who deal directly with clients.

This week I’ve been coordinating a Mystery Shop, so I’ve been checking my colleagues’ email replies, and calling them up pretending to be a client (the “mysterious” element has been becoming less and less well kept). There’s a real campaign going at the moment to improve our clients’ satisfaction, so checking that we are always consistent in communication is one major way to do this – especially as a large proportion of the communication with international clients happens via email or the phone, rather than face to face.

It sounds straightforward, but I’m definitely learning a lot of problem solving skills with this project, and strategies to ensure people reply to your emails!

Don't let this opportunity pass you by.

IT's not just for the boys - Top tips on the day!

Name: Jennifer Allerton
University: University of Southampton
Course: Physics
Event: IT’s not just for the boys!

The IT’s not just for the boys! event is a celebration of women in technology and computing; a networking event with talks, panels and workshops. I found out about it from a friend who had been the previous year and recommended it, so I decided, what do I have to lose? Writing my application didn't exactly seem daunting when I started, because I thought about the reasons I wanted to go, and I imagined the day in my head, and as I wrote it, I gained more confidence in the idea that it would suit me.

  • For me, the day was about the people I would meet. There were companies, and workshops, and questions and answers about working in computing and technology – plenty of information available to be soaked up. But I was interested most of all in the individuals, the women themselves. I have always undersold myself, put myself down and failed to see how clever I am. I suffer from anxiety and depression, and my self confidence has never been high when it comes to my worth and intelligence, but my confidence with people is good; I love to speak to people. The best part is they’re all real, they've all been in similar places, they all have their own experiences; they won’t judge you. Not for being nervous, or for asking a question, or for being you. So that brings me to my first and most important top tip for the day: Talk to people!
  • My next top tip would be to plan as much as you can in advance. On the day, I caught a train and walked from the station. The event was at Bloomberg, in Finsbury Square. Google maps told me the way from the train station to the building, so I printed off a copy and took it in my bag. I worked out roughly how long the walk would take me, assuming I would not want to rush – it would only make you feel stressed to have walked as fast as humanly possible to the event to get there 5 minutes before the start. I always like to leave plenty of time. (In fact, I even stopped at Starbucks on the way! – such a consumer dummy). I then booked my train ticket accordingly for the right time.

  • Final top tip: get plenty of sleep. Especially if, like I did, you have a trek to make in the morning, and are possibly also nervous, it will definitely help. My personal recommendation? Green tea, scented candles and meditation. And when you get home after the day is over, feeling super-pleased with yourself for getting really involved, listening, soaking it all up, talking to lots of people and building on your idea of what on Earth you want to do with your life, a cup of hot chocolate is definitely in order.
Because what did I learn from the day? Appreciate yourself, and reward yourself. Because you rock.

Studying IT? If this sounds like something you are interested in then why not apply now! Applications are open for our events in October and November! JUST CLICK HERE!

TARGETjobs National Student Challenge Winner! Do you have what it takes?

Full name: Katharina Gammel
Age: 23
University attended: Aston University
Course studied: International Business and Management

I entered the TARGETjobs National Student Challenge following an e-mail about the competition from TARGETjobs. Initially I thought it was great practice for numerical testing which obviously all employers use as part of their recruitment process; I didn't really think that I was actually going to make it to the big final! The final was an amazing day, we had to complete different tasks as teams of 10 students which I am sure will be extremely beneficial for future assessment centers  I really enjoyed the activities and getting to know the other participants who were from all kinds of universities and courses from all over the UK. We also had the chance to talk to the sponsors and ask them questions about their graduate programmes as well as their recruitment processes. I thought the whole day was more fun than competition, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere in the amazing Siemens building where the final was held.

Top tips from the winner
For the first round I would say the most important thing is to practice. It’s all about speed, and you get quicker at the different tasks by practicing. This is not only valuable for this particular competition but for any numerical testing you will have to do when applying for jobs!  For the final, I think the most important advice is to not take the whole experience too seriously. Of course, at the end of the day it’s a competition, but the employers who rate you during the group tasks will see if you’re cooperating with others and how you work in a team, so trying to do everything on your own will not get you on to the podium with this competition. It’s important to have fun throughout the day and to see the activities as a learning experience. I really enjoyed myself throughout the day and I think that’s a big reason why I won in the end!

The last year:
Since winning the competition I was busy completing my final year at Aston University and applying for a place to do my Masters degree. I used the money I won to apply to different universities all over Europe, and I am going to start my MSc in a few weeks in Barcelona. Unfortunately I haven’t had time to complete my internship with Siemens yet, but I already know that I have to do another placement as part of my Masters degree which I am planning to do with Siemens – it’s an amazing company to work for so I’m excited for it!
In the near future I obviously want to complete my MSc which I will do in Barcelona and another exchange university outside Europe. Afterwards I am obviously going to try and find employment; maybe I can stay with Siemens after my internship next year; if not I am going to try and get a job at the Rio Olympics in 2016 as I spent my placement working for the London Olympics in 2012 and I’d love to do it again!

Thinking of applying to one of our events? Read what a past attendee has to say about her experience….

About me!
Name: Catriona Byers
University: Heriot Watt University
Course: Chemical Engineering
Event attended: Engineer your future

Why did you apply?
I found out about the event through an email sent by TARGETjobs.  The main reason I was interested in the event was that it was purely for female engineers. Coming from a male dominated course it was nice to see something purely aimed at females. The chance to meet other female engineers, whether still at university or in employment, was one, which I wanted to be involved with. I felt that the opportunity to meet successful females, from a male dominated industry, would be significant in gaining confidence with regards to both applications and teamwork situations within a university and employment environment. The opportunity to get interview and application tips from all the various companies was also an appealing factor.

What did you do next?
I originally researched all the companies that would be attending the event so that I could see what I could gain from the event as a whole. With the broad range of companies, from different sectors, I made sure that my CV was not too specific towards one industry.  I also made sure that my CV was up to date so that if I was fortunate enough to have a phone interview, it would reflect my discussions. With regards to the application form, I treated it as I would for a normal job application, taking my time considering and answering each question as fully as I could.  Overall, it took me a couple of days to make sure I was confident with my application.

Do you have any telephone interview tips?
Being my first ever phone interview, I was nervous, as I wasn’t sure what to do. In preparation I looked over my CV and had researched the companies a little bit more.  Having this in front of me, allowed me to relax, incase I lost my train of thought. The interviewer asked many questions in order to get a basic background on me as a person. I was asked about why I chose my course, my interests and what I had been involved with in university. I was also asked about why I was interested in attending the event and what I could gain from it. I felt it went well. I would say, for the telephone interview to be confident when speaking and to take a few seconds, after each question, to think about what you are going to say first. The experience of having a telephone interview is invaluable and has helped since.

What did you learn?
Through the panel discussion and workshops, we were given many tips in self-confidence and how to handle ourselves in industry. Overall, I gained confidence for future interviews, applications and events!

Our next event is on Monday 4th November 2013 so APPLY NOW!!

What is Letterboxing? "Letterboxing is growing hobby that combines elements of hiking, treasure hunting and creative expression into an activity that the whole family can enjoy." People hide a waterproof box containing a rubber stamp (usually hand carved) and a log book. Then clues are posted, usually on the internet. Others can follow the clues and find the box, stamping the log book with their own stamp and stamping their own logbook with the stamp from the box. Then the box is hidden back where it came from for the next searcher. (It is similar to geocaching except for the stamps and the fact a GPS unit isn't needed). See for a complete description.

Surveyor's Nightmare

Rittenhouse Compass Photo

In response to an online discussion recently concerning a majority of letterboxes not requiring much effort to find, I have tried to make this letterbox much more difficult to find than most. It will require both some mental effort and a lot of walking. There are few trails here, only a few long abandoned logging roads. Orienteering experience would be helpful but is not absolutely necessary. If you become lost (or slightly disoriented, guys!) walking a course of 300 deg. (or straight downhill if you lose or break your compass!) will bring you back to the road, and taking a left and following the road will bring you back to your car. You might want to avoid this area during deer season unless you are a hunter. You also should not try this site during the late Fall-early Spring freeze-thaw cycle - all those rocks came off the cliffs up above!

Before setting out please read and agree to the Waiver of Responsibility and Disclaimer.

As America was settled, it was necessary to lay out roads, canals, railroads, and to divide the land up into farms and building lots. This was done by land surveyors using rather primitive equipment, laying lines through the wilderness without benefit of the satellite photos, GPS, lasers, or computers that are used today.

I laid out the trip to the letterbox with 18th and 19th century land surveying equipment. I began with a B. Rittenhouse compass (late 1700's) and a W. E. Gurley #10 iron chain of unknown age, but was plagued with a sticky needle so switched to a Benjamin Pike Jr. compass (mid 1800's) for the last half, re-checking the earlier measurements on the way in and double checking the chain measurements with a tape measure. I then drew up the route on paper and checked the measurements and math. Some of the chain measurements I converted to other early measurements used in surveying to give you something extra to do. As few of you will have antique surveying equipment, the best way to follow the directions would be to convert the old surveying units to feet, find out how long your stride is, then convert the feet to paces. The compass directions should be easier, you just need to convert them to the more modern 0 - 360 degree scale. NOTE: To make an accurate survey through woodland involves cutting a path to sight the compass and stretch the chain. Obviously, I couldn't do this, so there will be some inaccuracy due to working around trees - though the math check showed it fairly accurate. I have included seven photos to help you compensate for this.

Some links on surveying to help you (all you need should be here) and for your entertainment:

DIRECTIONS: From North Bennington, Vermont take White Creek Road at North Bennington Variety Store. After 2.6 miles the road enters New York State and becomes Washington County Route 68. Proceed for 5.3 miles from the State Line to a road on the right named after the sixteenth President of the United States.

From Cambridge, NY take Rt. 22 south for about 5 miles, turn left on County Route 68 just before a self-storage facility and Cone's Garage. Take County Route 68 east for 1 mile to a road on the left named after the sixteenth President of the United States.

Take this road and drive for 1.4 miles. Find a road to the left named after an extinct American religious sect. Take this road for 1.1 miles to a fork. Take the right hand fork for 0.2 miles to a small pull off where you can park. This last section is rather rough but usually you can make it in a car unless you have very low ground clearance. If it looks impassable, you can park at the fork and walk in.

Walk northeast along the road. Enjoy the woods and the brook as you head northeast towards the Barber Hills. This is a nice walk on a sunny summer day. You will come to a clearing where a farmhouse once stood, which has been used more recently for logging. At the north end of the clearing the road passes a large rock on the right and goes up a steep hill. Beyond this rock the road is impassable to all but off-road vehicles. Shortly past the top of the hill you will see a boulder on the rightPhoto of landmark with a tree behind it. Here the easy walk ends and the work begins!

From the base of the tree behind the rock the way runs South 81 degrees East for 3 chains 38 links to a rock next to a stone wallPhoto of landmark, then runs South 52 degrees East, parallelling the stone wall for 2 chains 58 links to a point where another wall joins from the northeastPhoto of landmark. From this point follow a line North 5 degrees East for 3 chains 20 links to a point marked only with a small stonePhoto of Landmark, thence North 4 degrees West for 1 chain 44 links to another unmarked point,Photo of Landmark thence North 73 degrees East for 12 rods to a tree near a stone wall.Photo of Landmark The route then parallels the stone wall on a course of South 60 degrees East for 24.5 vara to a corner with two old stumps,Photo of Landmark then runs South 38 deg West for 2 chains 51 links parallelling another stone wall to a small "V" in the wall. Here it turns to South 63 degrees East for 1 chain 46 links over a large rock. From the uphill point of the rock the path runs at South 52 degrees East for 3 chains 86 links to another large rock. From here follow a course of South 63 degrees East for 3 chains 48 links to the end of the search. Look up - you will see a large spruce growing out of the rock. The letterbox is on a ledge behind it under some rocks. Be careful in retrieving it and please put it back where found and cover it back up.

I am experimenting with a new method of making stamps. This box contains the second successful attempt. It is still somewhat primitive, but better than the first. There is no stamp pad in this box, so please bring your own.

Paula Welden Letter Box

Photo of Bolles Brook Valley in December

On Sunday December 1, 1946, 18 year old Bennington College student Paula Jean Welden went for a hike on the Long Trail, which at that time ran up this valley on the bed of the old Bennington and Glastenbury railway, now FS 288. (The LT has since been relocated to the east). She would have passed the point where the letterbox is located at about sunset, and then she vanished forever. Despite a massive search, no trace of her was ever discovered. See for the full story.

Before setting out please read and agree to the Waiver of Responsibility and Disclaimer.

From downtown Bennington, Vermont take Route 9 east from the four corners where the clock is located. Drive east for 3.7 miles. You will cross a bridge and the Woodford Town Hall will be on the left. Take a left onto Harbor Road and drive 1.7 miles until you reach the end of the road. There is a small horse farm here with a number of "no parking" signs. DO NOT park here! Drive straight on through the gate onto the Forest Service Road (FS 278). Take it easy here as the road is rather rough - your new Corvette probably won't have enough ground clearance, but my 1990 Metro had no problem! (This road is not maintained in winter or mud season). About 0.1 mile up the Forest Service road there is a wide spot where you can park. Walk along the road. You will cross a bridge and soon come to a place where FS 278 and FS 288 fork.

From the spot where the road forks, follow a course of 245 deg. for 100 paces. You will see a triple-trunked (black cherry?) tree. A short distance behind it is a rock. The box is under the rock on the side facing the tree, hidden under leaves and sticks. Please replace it and hide it well.

A short hike further up FS 288 will bring you into the new Glastenbury Wilderness Area. (The fork in the road and letterbox are in the National Forest, but just outside the Wilderness Area boundary). I believe this trail still will take you all the way to the top of Glastenbury Mountain if you have the time and inclination, but please find a trail map and follow good hiking practices - dress properly for the weather conditions and let someone know where you are going and when you intend to return.

This box contains a conventional hand-carved stamp.

These two boxes are overtly Christian boxes, so if this bothers you you might not want to bother with them.

Men of Faith Series #1: Abraham Bininger Box

Moravian Icon

Abraham Bininger was a Moravian missionary, primarily to the Indians in the Kent, Connecticut area. He was born in Switzerland in 1720 and came to America with his parents and brother in 1735. His mother died on the voyage over and he settled with his father and brother in Purisburg, SC. It was on this voyage over that Abraham first came into contact with the Moravians, particularly the Spangenbergs, but his father seems to have been rather hostile to them. Being carpenters, the Biningers went to help build Fort Frederica in Georgia in 1736. Abraham's father died there and Abraham and his brother returned to Purisburg. By 1739 Abraham was working for George Whitefield in his orphanage where he remained until the blowup over predestination in 1740, except for a short leave to participate with his brother in Oglethorpe's expedition against St. Augustine. In 1741 he and his Moravian friend John Hagen left Whitefield and moved to Savannah, then Abraham went to Philadelphia, where he joined the Moravians in 1742. In 1746 he married Martha Mariner of NY (a marriage arranged by the Spangenburgs). He taught school in the Susquehanna region until 1749, when they moved to Patgatgoch in Connecticut. From 1752 to '56 his whereabouts are uncertain, but in 1756 he moved his family to St. Thomas in the West Indies, where they remained less than two years. In 1760/62 they seem to have left the ministry and moved to NYC, where Abraham became good friends with Philip Embury, another carpenter and the major founder of the Methodist Church in America. In the 1770's both the Bininger and Embury families moved north to the Camden Valley, where they remained for the rest of their lives. Martha died in 1804 and Abraham in 1811. For more information on Abraham Bininger, see

You can access it by reaching behind the left side of the stone. Please hide it well when returning it.

Men of Faith Series #2: Philip Embury Box

Methodist Icon

Philip Embury is known as the founder of the Methodist Church in America. His birthdate and place are uncertain, but he was born in either 1728 or '29 in either the Palatinate in Germany or in Ireland. He was apprenticed to a carpenter. In 1752 he became a Christian and also about then heard John Wesley preach for the first time. In 1758 he married Mary Switzer and began preaching. In 1760 they moved to NYC, but he soon became discouraged and quit preaching. In 1766 his cousin Barbara Heck motivated him to begin again and joined by Captain Thomas Webb, they soon had a congregation. In 1768 they leased a site on John Street and bought it in 1770. There they built the Wesley Chapel and had at least 1000 listeners within three years. Philip ministered there faithfully until Wesley's missionaries arrived in 1769. In the 1770's he retired to the Camden Valley with the Hecks and several other Methodist families, also with his good Moravian friend Abraham Bininger. He founded another Methodist society in Ashgrove, but died in a farm accident in 1775. For more information on Philip Embury, see Most of the Methodists chose the losing side in the Revolution and had to flee to Canada. Camden later became a Moravian colony.

From the stoplight at the intersection of Routes 22 and 372 in Cambridge, Washington County, NY, take route 22 north for 0.5 miles. Be careful, this section is all a 30 mph speed limit and the police love to pick up speeders on this stretch. Turn left and drive west to the next intersection. Go straight through the cemetery gates and take your second left, going up a steep hill. At the top, there is a fork. Park here wherever you can find room. To your right is a tall pillar with "Philip Embury" engraved on it. At the foot is a flat stone with an inscription. From the foot of this flat stone, walk 35 paces at 80 deg. You will find an old foundation. Walk along the left wall. Near the end a small slab leans against the foundation. The box is behing this under a flat stone and some leaves. Please be sure to hide it again well.

I have labelled these two boxes as not child or pet friendly, as pets can be a nuisance in cemeteries and several children have been crushed over the years climbing tombstones and pulling them over on themselves. However, if your pets and children are under control, you can use your own judgment.

Tabernacle at Delta Lake

This stamp was carved during our vacation at Delta Lake Bible Conference Center in Rome, NY during the first week of July. It shows the main tabernacle, built in the early 1900's and seating 1400. There aren't many of these unusual structures around - I believe there is another smaller one in Round Lake, NY.

This box was last reported found at State College, PA in Nov. 2007.

FRIDAY, March 17, 5:00 PM - Community Center SOLD OUT!
FRIDAY, March 17, 5:00 PM - Pathways SOLD OUT!

James Baldwin’s final manuscript was to be a revolutionary and personal look at race in America, but he died with only 30 pages written. Master filmmaker Raoul Peck (Lumumba, Sometimes in April) envisions the book Baldwin never finished, in this incisive and gripping look at black history from the Civil Rights movement to #BlackLivesMatter. This scorching and unforgettable Oscar-nominated film challenges the very definition of what America stands for.

“You would be hard-pressed to find a movie that speaks to the present moment with greater clarity and force...”

It’s showtime for Pakistan golf

Things are suddenly looking good for golf in Pakistan following the rise of a talented youngster and announcement of an Asian Tour tournament in the country this summer

It’s showtime for Pakistan golf

For years Pakistan golf has stayed on the sidelines. The country has produced some good players besides playing host to several international golf tournaments. But the sport’s profile has remained low.

Things are finally changing.

In recent months, a 19-year-old from Lahore has been making waves internationally. Ahmed Baig, whom many see as Pakistan golf’s big hope, won the Qatar Amateur title in Doha and then became the first Pakistani to claim Under-21 title at the Faldo Series Asia Final in Vietnam in March.

Off the course, Pakistani authorities have managed to put the country back on the international golfing map by securing an Asian Tour tournament in Karachi in July.

Pakistan last figured on the Asian Tour back in 2007 after which the country went off the radar because of security fears especially after the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore in 2009.

But that isolation should end in July when the sprawling Karachi Golf Club, one of the oldest and most prestigious golf clubs in the region, will host the US$300,000 Chief of Naval Staff Open. The four-day championship featuring Asian Tour stars and possibly a European Tour winner, will be played from July 26-29. The tournament should provide Pakistan golf with a huge boost.

The tournament was confirmed after top Asian Tour officials gave the go-ahead for it following a recent security and course inspection. A field of more than 80 foreigners which is expected to include Asian Tour and even European Tour winners will compete in the CNS Open.

“It’s going to be a major development not just for Pakistan golf but for Pakistan,” Bilal Rafi Muneer, the KGC Captain, told ‘The News on Sunday’.

“An Asian Tour event in Pakistan will send the right signals to the world and will come at a good time and will serve as a follow up after the recent cricket matches here,” he added.

Bilal was in the thick of action when the idea to bring back the Asian Tour to Pakistan was put back on the table.

The Pakistan Golf Federation (PGF) had been trying in the past to stage an Asian Tour event in the country. It did achieve some success when it hosted an Asian Development Tour event in Lahore last November.

In Karachi, however, golf officials managed to go a step ahead after the Pakistan Navy, one of the key stakeholders in Pakistan golf, threw its weight behind the project.

Backed by the Navy and its top officials including the Chief of Naval Staff as well as Commander Karachi, Bilal initiated the move to put Pakistan back on the international golfing map.

It all began after Comkar Admiral Athar Mukhtar, who is also KGC’s President, showed a keen interest in the idea of bringing the Asian Tour back to Pakistan. It was back in 2006 and 2007 when the KGC hosted back-to-back Asian Tour events but since then there has been no international event here mainly because of security reasons.

The idea was to make this year’s edition of the CNS Open – Pakistan’s richest golf tournament – an Asian Tour tournament.

But it was easier said than done.

THE PRESTIGIOUS KGC... will play host to the US$300,000 CNS Open in July

The prestigious KGC… will play host to the US$300,000 CNS Open in July

There were too many hurdles. The first one was to convince the Asian Tour to put Pakistan back on its map. Then there was the Rs70-million-question as that’s the sort of money which is required to stage an Asian Tour event.

“But the good thing was that Navy was completely behind this idea. The support went right up till the Chief of Naval Staff and once that was guaranteed things began to fall into place,” Bilal said.

Buoyed up by Navy’s backing, Bilal discussed the matter with Taimur Hassan, the former Pakistan Golf Federation (PGF) secretary who is currently the Vice Chairman of Asia Pacific Golf Confederation. Taimur, easily the most accomplished amateur golfer of Pakistan, enjoys an excellent rapport in international golf circles. Once he came on board, doors began to open.

“Though I am not associated with PGF anymore I’m always available for Pakistan,” Taimur told ‘The News on Sunday’. “Bilal is a dear friend but I’m in it mainly because I want to give back to Pakistan golf,” he added.

Taimur then met top Asian Tour officials in Singapore and urged them to include Pakistan on their programme. The campaign received a boost when the country successfully hosted an Asian Development Tour tournament in Lahore last November.

Recently, a three-member Asian Tour team visited Karachi for an inspection and found everything was in order for a full-fledged tournament at the picturesque KGC.

“They were satisfied with our plan and were impressed with the (KGC) course,” said Bilal, himself an avid golfer.

Commodore Ghazanfar Abbas, the chief operating officer of KGC, was confident that the lush-green KGC course will be in a perfect shape to play host to the Asian Tour event in July.

“The Club has been putting a lot of efforts in improving the course and I’m sure that by July it will be in perfect shape,” he said.

Taimur, too, hailed the KGC course. “It looks tremendous and I’m sure we will have a highly successful tournament in July,” he said.

However, there is one issue that needs to be tackled in the lead up to the CNS Open.

The fact that the organisers of the CNS Open opted to directly deal with the Asian Tour didn’t please PGF, the governing body of the game in the country.

Normally, an event of this magnitude is either staged by or with the support and backing of the PGF.

The decision of the CNS Open’s organizers to bypass the PGF could have landed the project in trouble but General Hilal Hussain, the PGF President, opted to take a wiser path.

My sources tell me that in a PGF meeting he did express his displeasure over the organizers decision to not keep the PGF in the loop. But later, he said that the federation would back the event in the greater interest of Pakistan golf.

It is really important that all stakeholders get together and make sure that Pakistan hosts the Asian Tour event successful. It’s very important for Pakistan golf which is still struggling to make its presence felt. It is also important for Pakistan sports as a major international golf tournament in its backyard will further strengthen the country’s status as a sporting destination.

Over the years a lack of ample finances and, perhaps more importantly, widespread security fears have dogged efforts to hold an Asian Tour event in the country.

Richards at KGC

Pakistan first became part of the Asian scene in 1989 when the Pakistan Open became part of the old Asian circuit. That event was won by Filipino star Frankie Minoza. Pakistan have produced only one Asian Tour winner in the past following Taimur Hussain’s success at the 1998 Myanmar Open.

The Pakistan Open was also a part of the Asian Tour in 2006 and 2007. The tournament was held at the Karachi Golf Club on both occasions and attracted several leading pros from the region as a part of a three-year deal. However, security concerns forced the cancellation of the 2008 edition.

England’s Chris Rodgers won the inaugural event ahead of India’s Jeev Milkha Singh and Amandeep Johl. In 2007 Malaysia’s Airil Rizman claimed his maiden Asian Tour title with a two stroke triumph over Scott Hend of Australia.

It remains to be seen as to which player will go on to win the top honours in the CNS Open in July. But one thing is for sure. It’s showtime for Pakistan golf.
