Internship Opportunities

While we do our best to assist students interested in pursuing an internship, we cannot guarantee an internship placement. The application process is competitive, and only qualified candidates will ultimately be offered an internship.

Internship possibilities span a wide range, and vary from site to site, but generally include government agencies, non-governmental organizations, businesses, the media, educational organizations, and the arts.  Recent students have participated in internships in Spain at FUNDESO (Fundacion Desarrollo Sostenido), WWB (Women's World Banking), Hilti Española S.A., and ACNUR (Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para Refugiados). In Italy, students participated in internships in the American Consulate in Florence and the Horne Museum. In France, students have interned in the Assemblée Nationale, the Conseil Régional d'Ile de France, Maria Louisa Design, Frac I'le de France, the Robert Schuman Foundation, and Theatre et Cinema Ile de France. And in Russia students have interned at CNN, NPR, The United States-Russia Investment Fund, The MacArthur Foundation, Project Harmony, The Golden Ring newspaper, The American Chamber of Commerce in Russia, The Eurasia Foundation, The Moscow Institute of Modern Art, Yaroslavl Investment Center, as well as local schools and libraries. In any given year, however, we cannot guarantee an internship in a specific field or organization, though we will make every effort to accommodate. Please be aware that prospective internship providers normally expect candidates to have appropriate skills or background knowledge and interest in the field. In addition, students must have strong functional skills in the target language. If your language skills are not strong enough, you may not qualify for an internship.

1. Somewhere between the 4 and 6 month mark a magical thing happens to babies, they are finally sturdy enough that you can hold them on your hip with out them flying all over the place. Colton hit that mark this week. It’s making my life infinitely more easy!  Hooray baby C!

2. I’m a ball of nerves. Literally I liken a marathon to prom or something. You look forward to it for months and months then all of the sudden it’s here and you are like HOLY S**T. Where did the time go? I’m not sure why I always feel this way, but it’s like I need to get a million and one things finished before I can run. This is completely irrational because on any given Saturday during marathon training I’m running for hours on end, which is the same thing I will be doing this Saturday. Maybe it’s because I have to trek to DC? Not sure. I think it would be really cool if instead of small towns offering 5K’s and 10K’s they put on marathons. Imagine being able to roll out your front door and start your marathon. A girl can dream right?

3. It never, ever, ever gets old hearing people tell me good luck speedy. When you come from 11 minute miles and are used to thinking of everyone but you as being fast its an incredible feeling for people to call you fast or speedy. Every single time someone says it to me – I smile and blush. Who me?  You think I’m fast?  I’m honored. No joke honored every time someone compliments me on my running.  It’s one of the best feelings in the world.

and while I’m at it – why not add a 4th thing….

4. Speed is a state of mind.  When I started running, I ran on average 11 minute or slower miles.  When I started running in the 10’s I thought of myself as fast. I can remember calling my friend Claire after a race and jumping for joy that I had run a race and every single mile was in the 9’s. I was fast! There will always be someone faster than you and on the flip side, someone slower than you. Being fast is not about running 5 minute miles – it’s about being fast for your individual self and that my dear friends is better than being blessed with a natural talent of speed, in my opinion.

May the wind be at your back this weekend as you run!!  Remember we are all fast – it’s a state of mind, not a speed.

Have you entered my free RoadID Giveaway?  Contest ends 3.26.2011!!

  1. I completely agree on speed being a state of mind. I always say that it's all relative. If you can keep that mindset, you're ahead even before the starting gun. Good luck this weekend!

  2. 3:59:59. Bitches. says:

    Didn't realize until I looked at your marathon list at left what amazing progress you've made, speed-wise. There's hope for me yet! National Marathon was my first, back in '07, so I have fond memories. Hope you make some great memories (and great time) on Saturday. P.S. Adorable picture!

  4. I will try to remember this. I hope it isn't too windy for National.

  5. Kerrie T. says:

    SO true about the speed. I was trying to write about that same thing and couldn't figure out how to say it! Good luck speedy! 😉

  6. Michelle says:

    #4 rings so true! I read all of these blogs and never think I can do it. But, yesterday (after weeks of speed work) I pushed myself under an 8 minute mile for 6 miles + 1 w/u and 1 c/d. I went 8 miles and think I could've gone farther! These runs are for me….I just love reading what everyone else is doing too! Thanks!

  7. I love this! I have been an 11-minute-mile girl for a long time, but you have inspired me to know that I CAN get faster :) Last Saturday I ran 6 miles and my last mile was 9:15!!!!! I was so thrilled with myself :)

    I hope your marathon is great! I still get all nervous and feel like I'm going to throw up before a 5k, even though I know I'll be close to the last runner. Not sure why that is!

    Your little boy is SO cute!

  8. Jessica (The Pace of Me) says:

    Wonderful, wonderful post and SO TRUE. Good luck Speedy, and have fun!!!! xxoo

  9. mickiruns says:

    YAY baby C! That's a great milestone.

    I agree with speed being a state of mind, I thought I was 'average' a few years ago, and now it blows my mind that I'm almost 2 minutes faster. It's a great feeling!

  10. carlybananas says:

    Best wishes for a good healthy run on Saturday!

    I'm an 11 minute miler and I think I will be for life. Sometimes it's hard to read about people who were able to shave so much time off of their miles and yet I'm not able to. But then I remember I love what I'm doing and speed is just one component of running. If I can get faster, that will be great, but if not I love getting out there and just running. :)

  11. rock

  12. Anonymous says:

    oh. my. gosh. Colton is sooooo sinfully cute. I want to hold him!!! you are so speedy and I don't have to wish you good luck. I feel your pain with the anxiety. I am MORE nervous about getting to DC in time on Saturday morning than I am about the race. I am such a worry wart though! :) I'm ALL ABOUT a Northern Virginia marathon/half marathon that is west of DC!!!! you don't need it, but, GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! – Ashley S.

  13. OK, I had to weigh in here. Let's be clear — the only folks who can NOT call you speedy are Kenyans or 15-year old beanpole cross country runners (or named Shalane).

  14. Rebecca Samson says:

    Love when you can hold them on your hip- a right of passage!

  15. You are freaking SPEEDY!!!! I am so excited for you :) I cannot wait to hear how you do this weekend… and also CANNOT wait ot meet you in just over 3 weeks! AHHHH

  16. Julie D. says:

    Good. Luck. Speedy!! I am so inspired by your progress. KILL it. this weekend.

  17. Chris Duckworth says:

    Good luck, Speedy (and yes, you are quite speedy!).

    I know the euphoria, though, of hitting new time goals. On my last 13, I hit three miles sub-8:00, and a few just over 8:00 and felt great! I thought to myself, "My body is telling me I can do this. Not quite yet, but I will be able to run a half – even a full? – at this pace one day. It is pretty darn exciting …

  18. Jessicah Duckworth says:

    So excited that my husband found your blog. Thanks for your inspiration! A mom of three also, I'm running the half tomorrow with most of my miles in the 10s and perhaps a couple in the 9s. Speed is a state of mind. That is my mantra! May the wind be at your back as well! Peace.

  19. Run with Jess says:

    love your comparison of marathon to the prom!! So true!
    And you're dead on about the speed thing… my race last Sun, I hit 8:54 avg pace… OMG, my avg pace just started with an EIGHT!! Last year at this time, I struggled to get out of the 11's!

      Miles M.39B (Libellula) Experimental Bomber Prototype

    Miles M.39B (Libellula) Experimental Bomber Prototype

    One of the more interesting aircraft arrangements to be considered by the British during World War 2 - the Miles Libellula.

     Updated: 8/6/2015; Authored By Captain Jack; Content ©www.MilitaryFactory.com

    The M.39 "Libellula" was conceived of by the Miles Aircraft concern during the early 1940s as World War 2 (1939-1945) raged on. The initial concept was to reduce the complexity of landing aircraft on carrier decks where vision was largely obscured by the forward-mounted engine and large wing mainplanes. A new approach was undertaken which intended to reduce the risks involved and this became a "tandem-wing" arrangement that ultimately covered a series of concepts for Miles during the war. However, none of the concepts were realized through serial production contracts though M.39B was built and flown as a prototype.

    Collectively, the designs making up this Miles endeavor were named "Libellula", the taxonomic family name of the dragonfly (no doubt in reference to the Miles' aircraft use of twin wing mainplanes).

    The original work on the subject was through the M.35 offering which was more or less a technology demonstrator for a single-seat naval fighter. It was developed along the lines of a private venture by Miles and its tandem-wing arrangement was used to reassess the Center of Gravity (CoG) seen in traditionally-arranged military aircraft (mainplane at front with tailplanes at rear). The tandem-wing approach allowed for a greater CoG range between the two wing mainplanes in play and could, theoretically, produce some inherent benefits - a shortened fuselage and more contained wingspan for onboard carrier storage (as well as reduced weight), less complex wings as wing-folding mechanisms would not have to be used, and improved control from the "doubling up" of control surfaces along the wing pairing.

    Covering the short span of six weeks, Miles engineers returned with the M.35. This aircraft was powered by a single de Havilland Gipsy Major air-cooled inline engine of 130 horsepower and featured a wingspan of 20 feet at the frontal mainplane and 20.5 feet at the rear mainplane. Overall length was 20.3 feet and maximum weight reached 2,000 pounds. The cockpit was held at the extreme forward of the fuselage and offered excellent vision. The frontal wing mainplane was shoulder-mounted and of a straight design whilst the rear mainplane was low-mounted and featured sweepback. Vertical fins were affixed to the rear mainplane's tips. The engine was buried in the rear portion of the fuselage and arranged in a "pusher" configuration. A pseudo-tricycle undercarriage was fitted though a forth leg was situated at the extreme rear to protect the aft sections of the aircraft. In testing the engine proved temperamental and longitudinal control was off. Despite this, the design proved to shed some light on the unorthodox arrangement which would help with future work in the field.

    The work was furthered into a new design which was of 5/8th scale and designated as M.39B. The aircraft would serve as a single-seat demonstrator and be powered by a pair of de Havilland Gipsy Major IC air-cooled inline engines of 130 horsepower each - these showcased as outboard nacelles hung under each rear wing mainplane. The frontal mainplane was now fitted low against the sides of the cockpit. The fuselage was given a finely contoured shape from nose to tail. A tricycle undercarriage - now in the traditional sense -was fitted.

Gisele doing yoga with daughter Vivian.
What’s Hot

We know supermodels doing yoga isn’t breaking news, but we absolutely adore this Instagram photo of Gisele Bündchen doing yoga with her baby daughter Vivian.

Gisele, along with Miranda Kerr and Christy Turlington, has always stood out in our minds as a model who tries to make a difference. She’s been outspoken about her love of yoga and natural health and is involved with many global charities.

We love this photo. Not because it’s another celebrity doing yoga, but because it reminds us of all the moms out there who do their best to sneak in yoga whenever they can!

How are you getting your yoga in today?

Caregiving Rewards Can Outlast Challenges
When Elders Don’t Accept Outside Caregivers

In-home care and Alzheimer's Often a Good Mix

...The biggest value offered by in-home care is the obvious fact that the elder can remain in his or her familiar home. If the agency's caregivers are well trained in dementia care, I think in-home care can be the ideal starting point for people who need extra help with their loved ones but aren't ready to think about assisted living.

Elongation of the internal carotid artery and abdominal aortic aneurysm: Is there a relationship?

Ballotta E., Da Giau G., Bottio T.

From the Vascular Surgery Section 1st Institute of General Surgery University of Padua, School of Medicine, Padua, Italy

Background. This study was undertaken to analyze whether there is a relationship between the elongation of the internal carotid artery (e-ICA) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
Methods. Forty-three patients had concomitant evidence of an asymptomatic AAA and e-ICA: all of these patients underwent surgical AAA repair, while 25 (58.1%) also underwent surgical e-ICA correction. The 43 patients were compared with a control group of 141 e-ICA subjects with no AAA as regards to age, gender, risk factors and associated diseases. An operative specimen of the aneurysmal wall was obtained in 32 instances (74.2%); an operative specimen of the carotid wall was obtained in 100% of operations.
Results. The overall perioperative mortality rate was 0%. Patency of the revascularized ICA was assured in 100% of cases. The perioperative stroke risk rate was 0%. The perioperative morbidity rate for abdominal surgery was 6.9% (3/43). There were three late deaths: one patient died from a major stroke due to occlusion of the unoperated e-ICA. Degenerative dysplastic changes were observed in the tunica media in all carotid specimens; non-obstructive atherosclerotic intimal lesions were superimposed in a few cases. Histological features of “classic” AAA, i.e. thinning of the tunica media underlying the atherosclerotic plaque, were discovered in all but five aortic wall specimens.
Conclusions. The association between e-ICA and AAA is stronger than one would expect from atherosclerosis alone and should not be ignored. A primary arterial disorder of the tunica media seems to lie at the basis of both conditions, so patients with e-ICA should be investigated and followed up for any occurrence of AAA and, vice versa, patients with AAA should be investigated for any presence of e-ICA. On the basis of the results obtained, surgical repair of both conditions is recommended in selected patients.

Staff Picks: 10 Nightclubs You Need To Experience

Planning a European summer holiday? Perhaps a tour through South East Asia's Moonlight parties or South America's carnival season? Either way, Ministry of Sound has done it before and you're bound to hit some of our favourite international party spots along the way.

In celebration of Clubbers Guide to 2015, we're counting down our 10 favourite nightclubs in the world. From party capitals like Ibiza to the best hidden treasures around Europe, Ministry of Sound are taking you through the best places to party where it's totally fine to drink vodka out of a coconut and wake up in the wrong hotel room.

Paradise Club, Mykonos

The Greek islands are always a popular party mecca in the European summer and it's to no one's surprise that everyone flocks over to Mykonos for a good summer boogie. Paradise Club is an enticing cross between beach bar and open-air terrace, perched on a cliff-top that gives it a stunning view of the Aegean Sea. The club features regular residencies from Carl Cox and Avicii who provide the perfect EDM crushing touch to a European summer. Paradise Club shares the same coastline as rival club, Cavo Paradiso which rocks a similar vibe to the Paradise Club (for anyone prone to getting kicked out of nightclubs).

Zouk, Singapore

Zouk is one of the oldest and most prestigious nightclubs in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur and is without a doubt one of the best in the world. Taking up an old warehouse space on the Singapore River, Zouk offers a spine tingling sound experience, mosaic features on the walls and the mantra of One World, One Music, One Tribe, One Dance. Read: strong vibes. Zouk hosts international performances every 2.5 days on avergae and a quarter of a million dollars is spent per year on props alone. Zouk is paving the way in Asia's nightlife scene and these guys definitely know how to throw a party.

Ministry of Sound, London

Ahhh yes, our good mates over at MoS UK opened the doors in 1991. The Ministry of Sound Club is an icon in the London clubbing scene, inspired by New York's Paradise Garage, the club was devoted to bringing the American house scenes of the 1980's New York, Chicago and Detroit to a club that was purely dedicated to sound. Today, the ex-bus garage features the biggest house, techno, trance and big room artists every week. From Kaskade and Laidback Luke, Todd Terje to Cajmere, there is nothing quite like standing in the middle of the club's main room, The Box, and hearing the award winning sound system in full swing. Also the home to club shots most likely to have you saying; "This guy!"

Pacha, Ibiza

Over the years Pacha has become a monumental club in Ibiza due to it's long history hosting some of the biggest parties in Europe. Offering a diverse combo of wider range house and nifty electronic nights, Pacha covers all bases in throwing their parties entirely for their colourful and juicy crowds, beginning from the crazy Balearic scene that kicked it off in the late 80's. Today, Pacha Ibiza has a whopping 3000 person capacity venue and has endured the test of time thanks to it's ability to transform itself from the commercial talents of David Guetta to the underground parties that welcome the likes of Solomun and Âme. Pacha has turned into one of the biggest clubbing brands in the world with venues across other major cities such as New York, Buenos Aires and of course, Sydney. Well, what more can we say about this one - we love a night on the red cherries!

Ushuaia, Ibiza

Another dominant nightclub fixture in Ibiza is Ushuaia, which offers up a spectacular outdoor arena, pool and of course spacious DF surrounded by the hotel itself. Ushuaia is another venue in Ibiza that accommodates for both big room electronic music as well as house and techno. Recent residencies include Armin Van Buuren, Hardwell, Avicii as well as Joris Voorn and Nic Fanciulli. Shut up and take my money!

Berghain/Panorama Bar, Berlin

Notorious for it's strict door policy and camera ban, the Berghain is an ex-powerplant that has been converted into onto one of Europe's deepest and darkest night (and day after) spots. Housing some of the most industrial techno sounds in the world, the upstairs Panorama Bar is decorated with large scale photographs, tall windows onlooking an amazing view of East Berlin and is the avenue for all the house heads. No need to worry about touching up the make-up ladies, as the Berghain is infamous for having no mirrors or reflective surfaces of such. And if you plan on going to the Berghain any time soon, no one arrives at the venue until at least 4am, so be prepared to party well into the following day.

Hakkasan, Las Vegas

You know EDM's big when Las Vegas mega hotel MGM Grand opens up a 3000 person capacity club that hosts Calvin Harris, Tiesto, Hardwell, Steve Aoki on the regular. If the commercial roster isn't really for you, the Ling Ling Club on the third level has pulled in line ups from the likes of DJ Jazzy Jeff , Rev Run and Questlove of The Roots. This joint is the real deal when it comes to the ultimate clubbing experience and it's the next frontier in the Las Vegas nightlife, blurring the lines between music festival and night on the town. It doesn't come cheap though with a $50 entrance fee for males and $30 cover charge for females. Sorry fellas!

Fabric, London

What was once a meat storage facility near central London is now one of UK's best nightclubs which hosts the best house, techno and drum & bass parties in the buzzing party city. Fabric has three separate rooms, two often hosting live acts. But it is the bodysonic dance floor that makes Fabric different from anywhere else in the world, attached to 400 bass transducers that emit bass frequencies of what's currently playing. Recent Fabric DJ lineups include Netsky, Ricardo Villalobos, Groove Armada and Daniel Avery. Fabric is also renowned for their monthly compilations Fabric and FABRICLIVE albums that are mixed by established and upcoming artists from the greater European dance movement. Highly recommend.

Green Valley, Cambroiu

Hidden away in the tropical hills of Santa Caterina is one of Brazil's biggest nightclubs. With a capacity of over 6000, Green Valley hosts some of the worlds biggest DJs night after night. The club occupies a gigantic tarp covered dance floor area at the foot of a valley which is completely surrounded by rainforest, creating an energetic vibe flowing through the whole tropical venue. Talk about jungle! Brazil also hosts a number of the world's biggest and best nightclubs such as Sirena, Warung and D-Edge that are turning Brazilian nightlife into a dominant party destination.

Space, Ibiza

Having recently taken the crown of Best Club at the International Dance Music Awards, Space Ibiza is at the top of the list due to the incredible venue that features six clubbing areas and a 2000 person capacity main room. It's not only the state-of-the-art look and feel of this dance consortium that pegs it as the people's favourite, as it's programming is primo with some of the strongest and diverse clubbing brands on the planet. Offering up nothing but the best techno, house and trance DJs, Space hosts some of the best club nights in the world such as Carl Cox's legendary Music Is Revolution, Richard Hawtin's Enter and one of the hottest parties in Europe right now, We Love... Sundays presented by Disclosure. Space line ups are these days steering clear of most mainstage headliners, but it's well compensated with new age legends at the tip of the scene such as Disclosure, Skream, Rudimental, Umek, Dusky, James Zabiela, Sasha and Gorgon City! Ministry of Sound approved and our number 1 pick for the Clubbers Guide to 2015.

LIFE On Mars star Philip Glenister says the British television industry is run by "a lot of fools", calls reality shows "sadistic" and says it's depressing to be an actor when TV is in such a bad way. If I had a pound for every celebrity who's told me "off the record" they feel the same I'd be sailing off on my gold-plated yacht.

The truth is there's a long list of actors who loathe the way grey-suited bean-counters have stifled creativity, detest fat-cat bosses and fear bullying executives who play God with their careers.

Much as they'd love to speak out few have the bottle to put their money where their mouth is. Glenister has, at least, got the balls to say publicly what so many think. And in the TV industry's organ, the Radio Times. DCI Gene Hunt would be proud of him.

Is Your Spouse Replaceable?

Every so often I think about what if I died first, leaving the kids with my husband that I almost halfheartedly pretend to forget that there's a possibility that he parts first. It's like impossible, that can't happen, especially not to me right? My dad passed when I was 12. I feel like it would be a cold cruel joke. The first thing that happens is my chest tightens and I get a knot in my throat, my mouth becomes dry, and my brain panics. I start thinking "no, think good thoughts!". Yes anxiety immediately arises. I wonder if all women feel the same way at the momentary thought of such a commonplace occurrence. Statistics show women live longer than their male counterparts, so of course the possibility is higher.

Preparing for things is what I do. However nothing can prepare you for death. So what do I do? I talked about it with him. Honestly my world would be so grim because I'm such a brat. I want for nothing but more time. Next week will be 13 years since we've been together and I can't ask for a better man. All my needs and demands are met. He understands me completely, and I wonder if anyone else ever could

I'm needy, spoiled, and can't be alone. I need a warm body more than the average person it seems. I adapted a "no babies in the bed policy" from the time the kids were born to ensure our sex life wouldn't dwindle down to a boring once a week/ no sex routine. I need thrill, I need excitement. We're a jealous couple. One of my friends said "how can you deal with the jealousy?" I get jealous too, but when he's jealous I thrive on it. A little jealousy is good for the relationship, it keeps us on toes, you're not going to take someone for granted if you know they could start looking elsewhere right? Look at jealousy like quality assurance...it makes sure you're staying up to code in your love life. Think about the hot tears and sweat of make-up sex. There's nothing like it.

Will they like 69?
There's an episode of  the show "Everybody Loves Raymond" where Marie chooses a partner for Frank. I don't know who I could be with...I just know that I can't be alone. But then there's the sickening thought of the current dating scene...people just talking, no commitment required. I've got "baggage", will they accept my kids, respect my ideals, or will my happiness be a priority to them? Will they be good in bed? Will they have good hygiene, and style? Knowing damn well that he can be so jealous and possessive sometimes, I ask this guy how he feels about me moving on after his demise anyway... and you know what he says? He says "find someone and move on...do what you have to do".  Shocked me out of my senses to hear him say that. This is the same guy that asks me when I will be back before I have left the house, the guy who tracks my iPhone when I leave...and much more possessive behavior. That's the kind of person he is; selfless, even I couldn't say the same to him about moving on. Hopefully time will be on my side,  but I will say with great certainty though, that I will be a fish out of water and be looking to get back in the sea because I can't live without that physical love.

"Make love like you have no secrets, like you’ve never been left, never been hurt,  like the world don’t owe you a single wretched thing." -Warsan Shire

Same reason I am afraid of the Anderson fight. Anderson will dog him, but there are built in excuses of he isn't as big. Which no doubt would be said should Anderson win. Even if Anderson KO's him with a knee on his first shot in. People would still somehow correlate it with the size difference.

It is a lose/lose for Condit and Anderson in those fights.

Standard Model (An Introduction to Imaginary Friends - Part II)

Editor's note:*
Yes, this is the introduction and work statement that accompanies Imaginary Friends. I am leaving comments open on both the posts that unfold this poem and the individual chapters of the novel, and I invite my readers to conduct a conversation relating the information in the narrative to the expression of the structure in these verses.

I also want to take a moment to spell out dedications:

“Standard Model” is for Ibby Grace, Kerima Cevik, Melanie Yergeau, and Nicole Nicholson, who are all people who challenged me to find new metaphors that provide an understanding of my way of being to people whose methods of cognition are not necessarily like mine, whether that is because of personal taste, education, race, social class, religion, gender, or for any other reason. I will admit now that it was the section written with the most love.

“Sense Information as a Superfluid Movement” and “Look for our communications if you want us to bother with your language.” will post Wednesday. “Sense Information” is for Nick Walker and Kassiane Sibley, who remind me constantly of the relationship between my mental health and my physical being. I would not be able to regulate my body well enough to communicate what I really mean if I did not have their constant motion creating tidal forces to modify my trajectory. “Look for our communications” is for Alyssa Hillary, the person I know who most exemplifies what should be meant by people who use the term “self-advocate ACTIVIST.”

“Poetry as Scaffolding” and “Narrative, Literacy, and cross-Cultural communicating” will post Thursday. “Poetry as Scaffolding” is for Zach Richter, whose challenges to my communications as I have been writing have been both necessary and exciting, because they underscore the importance of the entire project of this book and its associated discourse verse. “Narrative, Literacy, and” is dedicated to myself, because I have painted my way into a corner in a wonderfully stimulating room and I need something explicit to code switch out of it so I can write prose again. Please read it as a moment of personal reflection and transformation.

Then, on Friday, Imaginary Friends begins.

*If you missed part I, it's here.

II. Standard Model

Ethos is your character and credibility.
It is also the basic theory
that the sum total of
our actions
should be used
when judging
the believability
of any piece
of information we
disseminate publicly.

This is a double-edged
method of assessment
and can be deployed
to debunk bad theory
(using Schopenhauer's strategies)
like Machiavelli,
in order to accomplish a cultural coup d'etat
against overwhelming forces
despite your own hypocrisy,
like some kind of degenerate,
low down,
Tea Partying

Pathos is supposed to be empathy,
but when blown out of proportion to its effect on the audience
it degenerates into simple sympathy,
and from there to pity,
and from there to a clawing need
to free oneself
from the vicinity
of this person's predatory,
that always seem to serve their needs
and leave me exhausted and unable
to set my own agenda and know my own long-term goals.

It makes me get stuck rambling
(like Kant)
on tangential rants,
demonstrating the way that pathos plays
(both negatively and positively)
on your credibility,
while still owing
its effectiveness
to the ethos
you've established.

It's not deductive, but coherently co-operative,
a codependent constellation of ideas
who must be derived from a fundamental
particle of language.

This brings us to logos,
the third essential particle
in our atomic model
rhetorical triangle.

Because the degenerate
low-energy states
of both ethos and pathos
seem to have been depleted of their logos
it is easy to fall into the fallacy of believing
that this is the fundamental particle of reality.

Actually, it is an essential
element of the others,
but their decay
is not a total
depletion of their logos,
it is simply
what I said earlier—
a degenerate,
low-energy state.

If there had been no logos left,
the depletion would be complete
and there would be
no resulting matter
to examine.

The matter that isn't there
doesn't matter
to our understanding
of existence.

Get it?

Still, while the other particles in our triangle
are composed of logos in an energetic interaction with itself,
logos is itself composed of another fundamental particle
interacting with an undefined space in probability,
a narrow chance that is partially
dependent on the effect it generates.
A quantum irregularity in our cultural understanding,
but nonetheless
a counterintuitive truth about
the matter of our rhetoric
and its influence,
however dire,
on our rhetoric of matter.

This is the imposition of the mythic,
the contextual weight
of our existing body
of shared narrative,
presenting sometimes with the diversity
of our history,
and at others with the blunt, monocultural blank slate,
the obliteration of nature inherent in industrialized society,
the world-wide destruction of individualized identities,
the edifice that exists as the reality of our ignorance,
white supremacy.

We can't have this discussion without admitting its existence,
because it dominates the mythic's basic fabric at this point in history,
dictating its context to the daily living
of an unbelievably large portion of humanity.

This happens because of the exploitation of the mythic itself,
since it is a sort of self-perpetuating phenomenon wherein
the nature of the existence of the mythic
the fact of its interaction with itself at all states,
and the nature of this point of singularity
is such that it gives rise,
by a function of probability,
to the field
through which
excited logos passes
on its way
to generate
the narrative states
of our emotional expressions.

With the mythic's current state understood
as the particle that arises as an interaction
an energetic field of probability
and a metaphor for self-perpetuating white supremacy,
it probably isn't surprising that the parallel particle of matter
in the physics from which we draw our metaphor
has seen its naming
go to just one theorist
(who is a nice guy and does deserve it),
despite the theoretical conception of its existence
having arisen among a population of diverse researchers
across cultures,
some of whom did not even know each other.

This spooky action at a distance is something we'll call entanglement,
and it is caused by the resulting dynamic
when the mythic is interacts
(without contact)
with its antiparticle,
the cynic.

You see, it is the nature of the mythic to eschew the literal,
which can make the phenomenon of its transmission highly volatile,
as the rhetor can not be sure that the energetic state of the particle
will match the energetic state of (his/her/their/zir/our) audience.

If it doesn't, then the audience isn't receptive
because their understanding of your concepts
is filled in by existing knowledge
of the emissions
of these subvocabulatory states
when observed in the original
rhetorical triangle,
and the conflict caused
by their interpretations
in different senses
of the sense of your message
is because the mythic
is highly dependent
on context.

The cynic is the mythic emissions of other rhetors,
capable of canceling our own mythic emission
or operating in a dialectic harmony with it
depending on the stage of its
solipsistic self-causal interaction.

(This is a counterintuitive circular truth
forced on us by physics
against Aristotle's most hopefully naïve wishes.)

(I leave the rest of this proof as an exercise for the academicians.
To paraphrase Fermat, I know what it is
but I can't fit it into the narrow margins.)

The cynic is the presence of other mythics,
an antiparticle in that it balances the mythic's existence,
but not in the sense that it necessarily creates
the obliteration of both particles
from their interactions.

That particularly energetic,
and reprehensible state
is a special case.
It only applies to those situations
where white supremacy
encounters something that isn't it.

We learn to detect the presence of the cynic
by disturbances in our energetic states
caused by the cynic's interactions
with the mythic field
(not our particular mythic particle).
This field is, (as you will remember from part d.),
the mathematical description of all the probabilistic outcomes
that can possibly express the mythic particle's existence.

This means that the antiparticle
of the mythic
is that same particle
at another energy level
or another point in the field,
and that the mythic
can be understood
as the phenomenon
that both gives rise to
and annihilates
while also peacefully interacting
and providing the space
and the structure
and the impetus
for other interactions.
Its nature requires two names
to distinguish what is actually,
in the abstract,
an artifact.

This brings us to the next fundamental concept
in our mangled menagerie that we euphemistically call a standard model.

This particle is the suspension of the mythic in time,
an element of controlled communication that has been expertly handled
by humanity's long legacy of public relations professionals.
This fundamental particle interacts with logos in all energy states,
affecting the presentation of the other elements of the rhetorical triangle
particles in the standard model.

It also interacts with and influences the field of the mythic
and all the particles of mythic within it
at every energy state,
and in every place
in its
at every
in its

It is the base particle of context,
the perceptual metaphor
for the basic changes
concepts of time possible.

We can call this part of the
rhetorical septalateral?
college, composition, and communication Standard Model:

It is to be understood both historically
and as a possible strategy,
because the definition of a particle
is a full-spectrum dimensional representation
of a multiverse
of laterally running
reality models
and the action of communication
in which the particle participates
affects its own baseline energy state,
resulting in the observer's intentional observation
having a predictable range of influence
on the entire superstructure.

Kairos is the particle of rhetorical time,
the unit by which messages are manipulated
across generations,
and also the cross-section
of probability
over which the interactions
of the other particles play.

Kairos is at a right angle to the other particles,
and as a result, can only be described vaguely,
(it's a field, see?)
or perhaps precisely, but with restrictions
and foul technical jargon
dictated by the nature of its existence.

Its measurable interaction with other particles
seems small but fundamental,
we could be missing something,
since we are unable to observe the full field of Kairos
for any existing entity
from any vantage point
that we have the mathematics to express
and with confidence.

The phenomenon of communication seems to be constructed, then,
by an “essential combination” of rhetorical elements,
arising from invisible (but still influential)
particles in their firmament.

That leaves us a problem, though:
Whence is it?

The standard model lacks a fundamental particle,
because it can not be caused by anything
that lies within it.

Next: "Sense Information as Superfluid Movement" and "Look for our communications if you want us to bother with your language."

Caitlyn, the AD Champion

Guide Top

Well, this is my first build so constructive criticism is useful, but anyways since Caitlyn is free this week I decided to try her out. She's really good at farming minions, dealing tons of damage while, if you're smart, taking hardly any. Most my games with her with this build usually are positive unless the teamwork is just horrid.
Welcome to my build!

Guide Top

One of the reasons Piltover is known as the City of Progress is because it has an extraordinarily low crime rate. This hasn't always been the case; brigands and thieves of all sorts used to find the city-state an ideal mark for plunder, primarily due to the valuable resources it imports to fuel its techmaturgical research. Some even theorize that it would have fallen long ago to the chaos of organized crime if not for Caitlyn, the Sheriff of Piltover. Born the daughter of a wealthy statesman and a pioneering hextech researcher, Caitlyn discovered her natural gift for investigation when, at age 14, her father was assaulted and robbed on his way home. She snuck out of her house that night with her father's rifle and tracked down the muggers from the crime scene. At first, her parents did their best to discourage her from such risky hobbies, but she was incorrigible. Wishing to protect her daughter in the only way she knew how, Caitlyn's mother began outfitting her with techmaturgical devices tailored to her sleuthing needs.

Caitlyn quickly gained notoriety, both because she was single handedly defeating crime in Piltover and also because she soon developed into a ravishing beauty. She never backed down from a case or a challenge, and she was one of the sharpest shots in the city-state. Her services were soon requested by Demacia to help track down a mysterious outlaw who had begun committing high-profile heists. The bandit, who always left a card with an ornate 'C' at the scene of the crime, became Caitlyn's arch-nemesis. To this day, Caitlyn still searches for this cat burglar, and the chase has led her all across Valoran. She has joined the League to hone her skills and gain the influence necessary to track down the only quarry that has managed to evade her.

''Go ahead, run. I'll give you a five minute head start.''
- Caitlyn, from her book 'Willing Apprehension'.

Guide Top

I really don't have any so I would go with Marks of Desolation, Seals of Vitality, Glyphs of Focus and Quintessences of Strength, just my opinion on it. You don't have to use those runes since I'm not using said runes.

Guide Top

21/0/9 Havoc is a must! More damage, more kills. More kills, more gold, so on and so forth.
MUST get Havoc no matter what.

Guide Top

Now, here's what I've been waiting for. I start of with Boots of Speed 2 Health Potions and a Mana Potion. If you mid you'll use the mana pot and the health pots if you take some damage while harassing. Then I usually go for, a Yomuu's Ghostblade for the damage and armor pen early on.
Then after that I go for The Black Cleaver. Since the on hit effects are just amazing. After TBC I go for Infinity Edge for the AD and the passive.
After IE I go for Bloodthirster, for the AD and the Life steal. After that (if I need to) I'll get a Phantom Dancer (don't know how to upload images)
This build is expensive! Try not to die too much, but try farming as much as possible since 20 minion kills is worth one champion kill. :P

Guide Top

Summoner Spells

My standard summoner spells for ALL champs are Ignite and Flash nowadays. Flash to get out of a tough situation, and ignite if you're chasing someone really low on HP. (Ult helps here too!)
I dunno what else is good with Caitlyn but having her 90 Caliber Net and Flash is a must for escaping.

Guide Top

Skill Sequence

I usually max Piltover Peacemaker first due to the AoE and the massive damage output it does. I pick up Yordle Snap Trap after at lvl 3 then 90 Caliber Net at 4. Maxing Q is a must for me. Ace in the Hole (ult) when you can! 90 Caliber Net last due to the weak damage.

Guide Top

One of the best farmers in the game, imo. With Infinity Edge, Black Cleaver, and Bloodthirster.
I usually crit around say, 1400 on minions, about the same on champs with no armor. I usually end up with 150+ minion kills at the end of the game.

Guide Top

TL;DR. This build should own people if you know how to use Caitlyn, and calls for expensive items, but farming minions and champions should make it a lot easier on you. I'm not gonna do a exceedingly long summary for this. If you don't wanna try it, then don't.
Gl, and HF with my build!

Side Note,

I dunno how to upload the images, and I'm on a time limit so I can't figure it out right now, if someone would be willing to tell me how, much would be appreciated.

Reading group books include ‘Songs of Willow Frost,’ and ‘The House Girl’

The Little Dixie Library in Moberly is geared up for activities in October.

As always, the Hooks, Yarns, and Thinkers Crochet and Knitting Club meets on Tuesdays at 9:30 a.m., and they meet through 11:30 a.m. Everyone is welcome to join this highly energetic and fun group who crochet and knit like nothing you would believe. Bring your projects to share, to get help on, or just to visit.

Monday, Oct. 14, at 12 noon, the Moberly Brown Bags and Books Reading Group meets to discuss “Songs of Willow Frost” by Jaime Ford. Ford is a New York Times bestselling author. In this tale, Ford tells the story of a boy with dreams for a far different life and a woman who is escaping her haunted past. “Songs of Willow Frost” takes readers through an emotional journey that twists its way through the 1920s and Depression-era Seattle. Be sure to bring your lunch and join the group as they discuss this fantastic book.

Following the Brown Bags and Books Reading Group, the Randolph County Literacy Board gathers for their meeting at 1 p.m. The Moberly Friends of the Library Board will hold their meeting at 5:15 p.m., on Oct. 14, as well.

Little Dixie Reading Group has plans to discuss the work by Tara Conklin, “The House Girl”. This is Conklin’s first novel. Conklin does a good job creating atmosphere and paying great attention to detail in this Civil War-era book. The story tells the story of a slave, Josephine, trying to make it in her own world, and the shift of the world around her.

Rachael Grime is hosting an event on Monday, Oct. 21, at 2 p.m., titled, “Genealogy Resources: Trace Your Roots to the Civil War.” Grime will explain how to use the various resources available for use at the Moberly Public Library. These resources are free through the library.

Grime said, “Find out how to trace your ancestors, view their military records, and maybe discover a family secret or two.”

This event requires registration; call the library at 660-263-4426 to reserve your spot. Grime shared that interested parties can also email her at to reserve their spot.

Nvidia unveils new superpowered processor and handheld console

Nvidia has announced its next-gen processor for tablets and mobile phones, the Tegra 4.

Building on the powerful Tegra 3, the new chip provides dramatically improved processor power and 72 graphics cores -- six times what's built into in its predecessor. A number of well-known devices use the Tegra 3, including Google's record-breaking Nexus 7 tablet.

In practical terms, the new chip will make your devices run faster than before, while being able to perform high-intensity functions. Some of these will be evident in cameras - Nvidia says that the Tegra 4 will take HDR (high dynamic range) photos ten times faster than the iPhone 5.

The new chip is also able to support 4G LTE connectivity - something that has proved problematic for Tegra 3-powered mobile devices.

Project Shield

In a surprise move, Nvidia also used CES to announce plans for its own hand-held video-games console.

Titled Project Shield, the Android-based machine has a 5-inch touch-screen with joysticks, buttons and other controls, all wrapped up in a clam-shell design.

The company's chief executive, Jen-Hsun Huang, did not give a price or release date for the device, but he did reveal some of the specs.

Powered by that Tegra 4 chip, the console is bigger than an Xbox controller but smaller than the Wii U's game-pad.

As well as keys representing the standard Android commands, the console also has a "shield" button that takes users to a games store featuring titles from Google Play. Using Wi-Fi, it can also be connected to a PC to stream games - something shown off using Steam titles.

HTTP Server for Pocket PC on XScale
      07/14/04 08:56 PM

I would like to use the HTTP Server for Pocket PC driver in my current project except that I noticed a disturbing conflict:

1) The HTTP Server for Pocket PC is only supplied for StrongArm and x86 processors

2) All Pocket PC manufacturers either already have or are in the process of switching to the XScale processor.

My project is a multi-year government procurement with an initial volume of 150 units.

To wit: Do I commit to a StrongArm model (Eg. HP 1945) for the initial procuremnt and rely on Microsoft to port the driver to XScale or do I go and find another solution ?

Any news from Microsoft on this question would be extremely helpful. I must make my decision shortly.

The reason I am posting this here is that perhaps someone from HP can reply and tell me they will not discontinue the 19xx series with StrongArm ?

B-movie horror-film producer Michael Reynolds offers a million dollars to anyone who can survive his terrifying movie-themed park, Illbleed. Four teenage horror fans, Eriko Christy, Kevin Kertsman, Randy Fairbanks, and Michel Waters, receive invitations to the ghastly park. Filled with enthusiasm, Kevin, Randy, and Michel carelessly rush to Illbleed, leaving behind young Eriko. Eriko eventually heads to Illbleed to search for her now-missing friends. Eriko must find her friends, survive the horrors of Illbleed, and get out alive, if she can.

Each "amusement" in Illbleed is based on one of Michael Reynolds' horror films, from the worm infested drive-in theater of Revenge of the Worm to the trap-laden supermarket of Killer Department Store. The player can choose to play a level with any of the kids that have been rescued, and one character is trapped in each of the attractions. Robots modeled on the movies' monsters populate each attraction as well, and each is programmed to attack and kill attendees. In addition to the robots, every room in an attraction is fitted with traps to surprise and hurt. If the player character becomes too surprised they'll die of a heart attack. Prize money is awarded for surviving each attraction, and can be used to upgrade a character's stats or buy items.

Thrash Rally is a fast-paced racing game, similar to Neo Drift Out and Overtop, but using a top-down view. You can either participate in a World Championship or do a complete Paris Dakar rally.

Using basic controls: accelerate with automatic transmission, brake and a combination of both to power drift, you have to follow a set path of courses. In the World Championship, each location consists of different stages that need to be finished in a single run. There is a strict time limit and you receive a time bonus upon finishing a section. The Dakar mode is one long track without stops. The championship uses regular cars, but in the Dakar race you can also choose a sand buggy, off-road bike or a truck.

A global ranking is kept while racing, but it is based on your time, not on the number of cars you pass during the race. Aside from your opponents, you'll also find water, animals, hills, bridges, bushes and different obstacles in your path.

LDD Technic 851 Tractor . It's like being seven years old again! . I built this on LDD a week or so ago and thought it deserved an airing. As you can see, it's my version of the first Technic set I had, given to me for Christmas in 1977. Sadly, LDD doesn't have some of the older parts on, including the wheels, so I had to make the tractor swamp ready. I also, out of choice, altered the mudguards and made the bonnet sides and headlamps more like my favourite tractor, the Massey Ferguson 135. It's all geared up, so in theory, works like he genuine model. As a final treat, there's a picture of me holding the completed model, just before Christmas Dinner - fresh bricks and no teeth marks! Thanks for looking.

Dr. Feroz Sarkari

Dr. Feroz Sarkari

Dr. Feroz Sarkari, Associate Manager, Patient Access (Corporate Affairs) at Eli Lilly and Company, shares his unique journey starting as a graduate student in Lori Frappier’s lab, to completing his MBA at Ivey Business School, to working as a consultant at Sixsense Strategy Group Inc. and finally, to his current corporate position at a pharmaceutical company. Feroz reflects on his experience as a graduate student in Molecular Genetics and the important impact it had on his career trajectory. Feroz also shares some valuable advice on how to obtain positions in business/consulting, and emphasizes the importance of always challenging yourself and developing many skill sets. Click here to read more.

1.  Can you describe your current position as Associate Manager, Patient Access - Corporate Affairs at Lilly Canada?

My main job is to ensure that patients have access to the medicines developed by Lilly. To accomplish this, one of things I have to do is work with payers, which includes private insurance companies as well as government payers, to seek reimbursement for medicines developed by Lilly so patients who need these medicines can have access to them. That often means presenting a business case to the private and public payers and demonstrating to them both the clinical rationale and the economic value for reimbursing a medicine. That is the main aspect of my work. Internally, I also contribute to brand-specific business strategies and tactics. Another thing we also do is provide local insight into global decision making on whether or not a particular product should be taken to market; essentially helping the global organization with commercialization decisions.

2.  Why did you choose the University of Toronto and the department of Molecular Genetics for your graduate studies?

Towards the end of my undergraduate, I knew that I wanted to do a PhD and I wanted to do it in life sciences. I was looking at a couple of programs, but I learned that Molecular Genetics was, and I believe continues to be, one of the premier programs in life sciences research in Canada. Therefore Molecular Genetics was my first choice and I'm grateful I was accepted.

3.  Can you share some of your favourite memories from graduate school?

It is certainly hard to pick one particular memory. There are quite a few for me and many are related to the friendships I formed while I was in the Department. Of course, one's first publication is always a memorable event as well.

But if you were to twist my arm, I would say the single most favourite memory would be when you’re thinking about your project, you formulate a question, then you design an elegant experiment to address that question, you run that experiment and when you finally have the result to show that your experiment worked. That particular moment, regardless how minute of a question you are addressing, when you have that result, the feeling is unlike anything else in the world. You have thought about something in nature and you got it right, but also, no matter how small a result that is, you are the first person in the world who actually knows that little bit of reality in nature. So that’s a truly empowering feeling that continues to stay with me. Those moments are few and far between in research, but I clearly recall going into the dark room and developing an autoradiograph and walking out with a result.

4.  Can you describe your career path from Molecular Genetics to your current position?

 Towards the end of my career as a grad student in Molecular Genetics, I still wanted to stay in academia and I was considering a post-doc and I was eventually going to look for a faculty position and be a researcher. But I started having second thoughts on what the market was going to look like for academics in the future. While I was searching for positions as a post-doc, I also looked into other options. I didn’t really commit to an alternative career after Molecular Genetics. I did some post-doctoral work at York University, but not with the intention of following up with a faculty position, rather something to keep me busy while I prepared to go to business school. While I was at York University, in addition to doing research I also volunteered for the commercialization and tech transfer office.  This gave me an experience, which I could use in my business school interviews as well as with potential employers after business school.

              After about a year and a half at York University, I started my MBA at the Ivey business school at Western. The reason why I chose Ivey was because of its case-based learning method and for its impeccable alumni network.  Ivey also offered a specialization in healthcare and that appealed to me. I graduated in 2013 and shortly after, I got a job as a consultant for a strategy consulting firm in Toronto. I primarily did consulting work for biotech and pharmaceutical clients, so there was a natural “fit” with the consulting firm because of my combined background in business and life sciences. I worked there for exactly a year, and after that I moved on to Lilly.

Why did you decide to pursue an MBA after your graduate studies and post-doc?

Most research programs do an exemplary job in creating good scientists, researchers, critical thinkers and life-long self-learners. What I found as a gap were the opportunities for career development in anything outside of academia where my transferrable skills could be used. That is not the fault of the research institution as it is not their responsibility to train business professionals such as consultants. They are focused on producing good research and scientists. But I wanted to develop myself in other ways and I thought a formal business education would help add another dimension to my professional profile in addition to my science background, and position me well for non-academic careers.

Additionally, in business school, one doesn't only learn business but also learns to become a polished professional. Good business schools spend time on you to develop you like a product. If you think of business school as a business, the students are their products and employers are the customers. They want to ensure that you leave as polished professionals.

And lastly, another reason why I decided to pursue an MBA was that I saw it as a personal challenge.

Did having a PhD help you later in your career?

Absolutely! I am so glad I did my PhD, just like I am glad I did my MBA. The first job I got outside of school as a consultant, the PhD had an important impact. The consulting firm that I was interviewing with needed someone with a science background in addition to familiarity with business, so having a PhD helped me differentiate myself. Because this work had an analytical and technical component to it, the PhD added a lot of credibility to my profile, which, in turn, the organization could leverage with its clients as well.

In my current role, everyone working in my team has an advanced degree, which is essentially a requirement. Additionally, since the relationship between effort and reward in my current job somewhat parallels that relationship in graduate research, I was able to highlight this parallel to demonstrate my fit for this role. So in both of my jobs, at the consulting firm and at Lilly, having a PhD was crucial.

What was the most important thing that you learned in graduate school?

In one word, I would have so say: perseverance. I recently went back to my old lab and I saw all of my old lab books. A lot of work goes into one's thesis, but not everything one does gets published.  There are a lot of failures in between successes, and at every failure one must learn and move on and try again.  The lesson in perseverance and disciplined effort in the face of failures was the most important one. A close second was learning the art of analyzing information and then constructing and telling a story with that information.

What was the most difficult aspect of transitioning from doing bench work to your current job?

When you are working as a researcher, you are mostly working independently on your project. Sometimes, you might have to consult with your supervisor or collaborators, but by and large, you are in control of your project.

What can be challenging in business is that you are always dependent on other people. There is always another layer of complexity with interconnected relationships. For example, there may be a project I want to run and it may be within my budget, but I might have difficulties getting buy-ins from other colleagues even though it is fully within my means to start this project. You have to bring other people along and learn to work as a team.

How would you describe the current job market in management consulting for those with graduate degrees?

Management consulting comes in many forms. There are different tiers of consulting companies, so it depends. By and large, consulting is extremely competitive.  With that said, I think there is much more openness towards non-MBA recruits in certain companies, so it’s now marginally better for candidates with non-MBA advanced degrees. For some companies, people with higher degrees can be considered equal to MBAs, but the market remains highly competitive.  Nevertheless, graduate students can capitalize on this openness by networking actively (but professionally) to get an interview. That's the biggest hump, as once you can surmount that, there are numerous resources available to actually prepare for consulting interviews.  The advent of volunteer consulting organizations should also help graduate students raise their profile in this competitive market.  There might also be a better fit for graduate students with companies whose area matches your specialization, such as consulting companies who work with life sciences organizations.

What was the best career advice you received when you were preparing to graduate?

If I had stayed in academia, I got advice that was very important: pursue topics that interest you, not topics that are the “flavor of the week”. Go after a biological (research) question that really inspires your curiosity. I thought that was fantastic advice.

Unfortunately, there was very little advice on careers outside of academia. I did not know what questions to ask or whom to ask. That was one of the reasons why I pursued my MBA. To be fair to research programs, it is not their job to train business professionals such as consultants. As a premier research institution, the focus should be training scientist and ensuring that the quality of the research is not sacrificed. That said, I believe much progress has been made since I graduated. I was recently invited as an alumnus to the first Molecular Genetics Career Development Symposium. I thought that event was great and workshops like those are really valuable resources for seeking out career advice outside of academia.  This suggests that a good balance is being achieved now.

What advice would you give to students who are looking for career options outside of academia/in the business sector?

I cannot stress this enough: graduate students have to do something outside of the lab. I was not the best at networking in graduate school, and the MBA thankfully corrected that. But what I'm glad I did during graduate school and post-doc was that I took on initiatives outside the lab that added credentials to my CV. For example, I worked as a volunteer health educator at a clinic and volunteered as an Academic-Industry Liaison for the tech-transfer office at a university. Any opportunity that I could take to add to my CV, I did. Though I had no private sector experience before my MBA, those extra things I did outside of the lab provided me with experiences I could highlight with potential employers and these were experiences that would resonate with them.

There are a lot of opportunities now to develop that profile outside of the lab. There are a lot of volunteer consulting groups. There are organizations like Mitacs, Entrepreneurship 101 from MaRS Innovation, and a lot of start-ups that need resources and creative individuals. Finally, another important aspect is to try to develop your 'narrative' in a language that resonates with others outside of academia. In other words, don't hide behind technical language; rather, bring your transferrable and relatable skills to the forefront.

Talking food with your kids- School Lunches

As a parent, it is extremely important to talk to your kids about food and teach them healthy choices early in life so they can make their own healthy choices as they grow. It's also important to be involved and up to speed about what they are eating when they aren't with you, e.g., school lunchtime.

School lunches are bulking up nutritionally as of lately. Because of recent changes in the USDA's dietary standards for school lunches, school districts are having to change their menu choices. Our district implemented more whole grains and more fruit and vegetable choices everyday. Such a great step in the right direction.  You can read in more detail about the changes and specifications here. But just because the school serves it, doesn't mean the child will eat it. That's why it's important to be active and knowledgeable about what they ate while at school.

One way to ensure they will get a good lunch is to go over lunch menu with them. Decide if maybe they would like to bring their own lunch that day. If they go to school and it's lasagna day and your child won't touch lasagna, guess what? They're gonna go hungry for the afternoon. They won't listen and learn as well in their classes and your $2.60 school lunch consisted of a carton of milk and the applesauce they had a couple bites of.  I don't know about you but that's not how I want to spend my money. :)

Every evening I read the menu to Kaydin and every morning I read it again in case she's changed her mind about what she'd like to eat. She also tells me what she did and didn't eat for the day. Everyday after school I ask her what she finished and what she tried. We are implementing a sticker system where she gets a sticker when she tries and finishes her vegetables. The kid will eat most any fruit you put in front of her- and a lot of vegetables. But there is a list of some veggies she doesn't like.  We're working on changing that. Today she tried and finished her corn and lima beans! Even though she thinks she doesn't like a certain food, we still encourage her to try them occasionally. Just because a food wasn't loved at three years old doesn't mean their tastes didn't change and they won't like it at six years old.  Reintroduce foods periodically and they may surprise you and actually like it!

It's also important not to force them. Yesterday Kaydin decided it was a cold lunch day. I offered her broccoli along with her other choices so she could try to earn a sticker. She declined. I was ok with that, though, because of the other healthy choices I stocked her lunch bag with. She just lost out on her chance for her sticker for the day. If you push too hard, it may turn the child off from being adventurous and trying new things on their own. Simple steps taken by you as the parent can help foster your child into healthy habits.

Stay tuned for some lunchbox ideas!

It would be so nice to get to know some other moms with kids my daughter's age.

My little boy is 6 1/2 months-- is that too old for you? :) I love to meet other baby moms, too. It somehow makes it all easier to think about the other people who are up at 3:30am too!
