9 Common Job Search Scams and How to Protect Yourself

9 Common Job Search Scams and How to Protect Yurself9 Common Job Search Scams and How to Protect YurselfHere at, we loathe job search scams and are truly interested in helping job seekers identify and steer clear of too good to be true job opportunities. CEO,Sara Sutton, started in 2007 to fight back against the frustrating- and often harmful- fraudulent schemes in thework-at-home job market. Thats why we hand-screen every single job and company before its posted our site to help job seekers stay stahlkammer and avoid job search scams.Most job search scams fall within nine common categories. Knowing how to differentiate legitimate work opportunities from harmful ones is the best way to protect yourself in your search for a flexible job. According to data collected from annual Super Survey, 13% of surveyed job seekers have encountered a job scam and 22% know of someone whos been the victim of a scam. And a whopping 82% are very concerned or somewhat concerned with encountering a job s cam. Each year the Federal Trade Commission FTC hasNational Consumer Protection Week(NCPW), which serves to help consumers make safe and informed decisions about product safety. NCPW is March 4-10 this year, and in honor of this week, were featuringnine examples of real work-at-home job scams you are likely to run into when looking for flexible work to help you stay safe while job searching.Here are nine job search scams to be aware of1. Data Entry ScamsData entry scams come in many forms, but the common theme is they promise a lot of money for a job that does not require much skill. Jobs in this category often require an upfront payment for processing or training and very rarely pay as well as advertised. There are legitimatedata entry jobsout there, but they do not advertise extravagant wages and they do not require an initial outlay of funds.Actual job posting for a data entry scamNumerous companies are looking for workers to submit information into online forms and they will pa y you nicely in return. This is not a get-rich-quick scheme but a legitimate way to earn money from home. For Full Details please read the attached .html file.2. Pyramid MarketingPyramid marketing is illegal and has no basis in real commerce. Typically, there is no product involved in a pyramid marketing scheme, just the exchange of money. Similar tochain letters, people invest in pyramid marketing because they believe they will benefit from investments made by people who follow them into the program. In order for someone to make money with a pyramid marketing scheme, someone else must lose funds.Actual job posting for a pyramid marketing scamMy name is Michael. Ive made it my job to help people succeed online. Im constantly on the lookout for the best ways and means to make your job simpler, and I pass the good stuff on to you. I have developed the eBay Cash Machine it allows everyone to make a great income on eBay 99% automatically. It only takes a few minutes to set up and once that is done you will have your own eBay Businesses that literally run on auto-pilot You just wait for the money to come in3. Stuffing EnvelopesStuffing envelopes is a job scam that has been around for many years. Although variations exist, this scam typically involves signing up and paying a fee to stuff envelopes from home. Once enrolled, you receive a document explaining how to get others to buy the saatkorn envelope-stuffing opportunity you did. You earn a small commission when someone else falls for the scam and pays the nonrefundable fee.Actual job posting for an envelope stuffing scam$550 to $3,000 weekly. Ten dollars for each circular you mailFree postageFree circularsNo newspaper adsNo magazine adsNo bulletin board ads Paychecks mailed to you every week Advance paycheck forms included in your package4. Wire TransfersPopular among thieves, wire transfer scams move money quickly from one account to another. These transactions are difficult to reverse making it nearly impossib le to recover lost funds. Although sometimes the request for a money transfer may seem legitimate, it should always be thoroughly checked out. Scammers have been known to pose as company executives asking employees to fraudulently move money from one account to another.Actual job posting for a wire transfer scamWe are small new firm engaged in export of goods to overseas outside my country. We have won various small exports contract at one time or the other, recently we were (engaged) contracted to supply financial programs for market analyzing, management project software in USA which was successfully done.

If you are looking to make additional profit we will accept you as our representative in your country. You will keep 10% of each deal we conduct.5. Unsolicited Job OffersUnsolicited job offers often co me in the form of ajob scam emails. These offers are not sought out by the job seeker and offer either immediate employment or the opportunity to interview for a great job. Some scammers will even pretend to be from a well-known company or job board (such as, ZipRecruiter, or Indeed) to convince a job seeker to interview. Be wary of any job with vague job requirements and descriptions, unprofessional emails, online interviews using a Yahoo IM account, and any emails that dont include contact information or that are sent from a personal email account.Actual job posting for an unsolicited job offer scamOur Worldwide Corporation is looking for new employees on various vacancies.

Out of the Vortex

Out of the Vortex Out of the Vortex Out of the VortexEngineers have known about vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs) for at least 500 years. Leonardo da Vinci observed them in the form of Aeolian Tones, sounds created by wind passing over a wire of the correct diameter and tension, and in the vortices swirling behind the piers of a bridge. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, John Strutt (Lord Rayleigh) and Theodore von Krmn discovered that strings in a wind move perpendicular to the flow of air.This interaction between the fluid and the structure occurs because of nonlinear resonance of cylinders or spheres through vortex-shedding lock-in. That is, the period at which vortices form and shed synchronize with the side-to-side motion of the bluff body.VIVs of circular cylinders occur over a very large range of Reynolds numbers. Experiments have shown that VIVs can be affected by the condition of the cylinder surface, vorticity in the ambient flow, and fluid conditions affecting water viscosity such as salinity and temperature.Amplifying Mechanical EnergyVIVs arent just an idle curiosity. A dramatic example of their power occurred in 1940. A newly completed bridge across the Tacoma Narrows in Washington state known to oscillate and twist during stiff winds shook itself apart after a morning of persistent motions of aboutone meter. An investigation demonstrated that the collapse was due to VIV.Because of the disruptive power of VIVs, engineers have long been interested in suppressing them in everyday objects such as car antennas, flagpoles, traffic-light posts, buildings, and cooling towers. Hundreds of patents on VIV unterdrckung are based on devices such as helical strakes, large extrusions, fairings, and weathervaning fairings.Considering the disruptive power of VIVs, its amazing that until recently, no one has tried to harness their power for something productive. At the University of Michigan, beginning in 2004 and with the help of doctoral student Kamal Rag havan, we showed the feasibility of exploiting VIVs for renewable energy. I filed for several patents in the mid-2000s (the first of which was granted in 2009), and in 2005, I started a company, Vortex Hydro Energy, with backing from the Office of Technology Transfer of the University of Michigan.Vortices created in flowing water can pull cylinders up and down with great force.VIVACE, ma non troppoOur principal invention was a hydrokinetic energy technology that we named the Vortex Induced Vibration for Aquatic Clean Energy converter (VIVACE). As we envision it, a system would consist of a three-dimensional array of long cylinders, each attached to an electrical or hydrolic power take-off system. Water flowing over the cylinders creates vortices that cause the cylinders to oscillate, and converts some of the horizontal hydrokinetic energy to mechanical energy. The attached power take-off system captures this energy and uses it to turn an electric generator.VIVACE provides many advan tages over conventional water-based power generation. The VIVACE converter doesnt need to impound water behind a dam to create a head. Water is allowed to flow freely over the cylinders. In contrast to hydrokinetic technologies the converter does not use a turbine, making it safer for aquatic life that swim past or through it. Equally important ocean currents and river flows are much more predictable and reliable than waves, wind, or solar activity. Moreover, VIVACE is scalable from low-watt through gigawatt-sized installations, where the science and engineering remain the same.VIVACE converters may be set up in any flowing water, including rivers and the undersides of semi-submersible ocean platforms.A Matter of DensityFor a given amount of infrastructure, VIVACE creates an amazing quantity of power. The comparison with wind power is illustrative as both methods capture power from a fluid. It becomes immediately apparent that wind begins with a disadvantage as, compared to flowing water, wind has a low power density. Since water is 830 times denser than air, the power density of a VIV-based device is significantly higher than for a wind turbine. Our experiments show that a VIVACE converter in water flowing at 1.3 meters per second has a power density of 185 watts per cubic meter, about 14,600 times greater than todays state-of-the-art wind farm.And unlike wind turbines, which require careful location to exploit favorable wind conditions and to avoid unfavorable interactions with humans and wildlife, a VIVACE converter can be placed in almost any type of free-flowing water. The water must be deep enough to permit the safe passage of boats, and to avoid interaction between the wake of the converter and both the surface and the riverbed or seafloor.Environmental and licensing issues must be worked out, as well as optimizing VIVACE, but we have no doubt that the converter can operate in real-life conditions as expected. Much the way that power from hydroelectric dams transformed the western U.S. during the middle part of the 20th century, we believe VIVACE has the vermgen to revolutionize the renewable power industry in this century.Adapted from Out of the Vortex, by Michael Bernitsas, University of Michigan, ASME Fellow, for Mechanical Engineering, April 2010.Considering amazing disruptive power of VIVs, its amazing that until recently, no one has tried to harness their power for good.

Family Medical Leave Guidelines for Expectant Parents

Family Medical Leave Guidelines for Expectant Parents Family Medical Leave Guidelines for Expectant Parents Just discovered that you or your significant other are expecting a baby or adopting a child soon? Congratulations! You are about to enter parenthood - one of the most exciting phases of adult life. If you or your spouse or covered same-sex partner  are working presently, you may be aware that you could be eligible to take some time off to recover after the birth or to handle the details of the adoption, and to care for your new bundle of joy. You can also maintain your employee benefits during this time. The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is something you will want to ask your employer about as soon as possible to make this a smooth transition for your family. Learn About the Family Medical Leave Act The FMLA is a workplace law that enables eligible employees of covered employers to take up to 12 weeks of paid or unpaid, job-protected leave for qualifying life events, such as starting a family. Eligible employees are those who work for a private employer with at least 50 employees within 75 miles, or a school or government agency, and someone who works at least 1250 hours during a 12-month period preceding the leave. That is around 24 hours per week if you worked for at least a year, so even if you work part-time or as a seasonal worker, you could be eligible for this benefit. Keep in mind that these 12 months do not need to be consecutive, so if you worked for 3 years, and then took a leave for 12 weeks, then returned to work for 7 months, you could still be approved for an FMLA leave. Also, if your private employer is not covered under FMLA, you could still be eligible under state laws.   An FMLA leave may be granted if you: Are expecting the birth of a child and will be caring for the child following the birthAre in the process of placing a child for adoption or foster care, or adopting or becoming a foster parent Notifying the HR Department is Vital It’s important to notify the human resource department at your place of employment as soon as you know you may need an FMLA leave under this arrangement. Why? This enables your employer to arrange for staffing coverage during the time that you will be out of work. It also enables your employer to coordinate your employee benefits so there is no break in coverage for you or your dependents during this time. You may notify your HR department in writing and obtain the necessary medical documentation needed to validate your requests  such as a doctor’s note or lawyer’s statement on letterhead indicating your approximate leave dates and return to work date. You can ask for this to be held confidentially in your employee file. Next Steps Once You Are Granted an FMLA Leave Request Once you are approved for an FMLA leave period, you will want to contact your employee benefits administrator to find out what additional benefits or information you may need. Find out what health coverage you have, what it covers, and how you can add your new child to your policy. You will also want to coordinate your work tasks and schedule with your immediate supervisor and the human resource team. Since some of the time you are on leave may be unpaid, you will also want to talk with your human resource and benefits administrator about any paid time off or other benefits you may be entitled to, such as adoption fee reimbursement. Special Considerations for Pregnant Workers If you are pregnant and need special accommodation to make your work environment safer or more comfortable, including any schedule adjustments or requests to telecommute, you may qualify for support under the EEOC, including the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Your employer cannot terminate you or threaten your job in any way during this time. Your employer may stay in contact with you during this time, but cannot ask you to conduct business or perform work tasks during an FMLA leave. According to the EEOC, “if you are unable to perform your job due to a medical condition related to pregnancy or childbirth, your employer must treat you in the same way any other disabled employee is treated”, therefore you may also qualify for short term disability benefits. Remember, an FMLA leave is approved by state and federal workplace laws, so if you are finding it difficult to get this processed in a timely or satisfactory manner, you may contact the US Department of Labor division for your state.

Management Basics and the Manager Job Role

Management Basics and the Manager Job Role Management Basics and the Manager Job Role What is management?  What do managers do? How do I manage? These are standard questions that most of us in the management profession have been asked more than once and they are questions we asked once in our careers, too. Here is a basic look at management- a virtual Management 101. Art and Science Management  is both an art and a science. It is the art of making people more effective than they would have been without you and there is a science to how you do that. There are four basic pillars of the managers role: plan, organize, direct, and monitor. Maximize Effectiveness To illustrate the benefits of an effective manager, consider this scenario: Four workers can make 6 units in an eight-hour shift without a manager. If you are hired to manage them and they still make 6 units a day, what is your benefit to the business? On the other hand, if they now make 8 units per day, you- as the manager- have value. The same analogy applies to service, retail, teaching, or any other kind of work. Can your group handle more customer calls with you than without? Sell higher value merchandise? Impart knowledge more effectively? That is the value of management- making a group of individual workers more effective. Plan If management starts with planning, good management starts with good planning. Without a plan, you will never succeed. If you happen to make it to the goal, it will have been by luck or chance and is not repeatable. You may make it as a flash-in-the-pan- an overnight sensation- but you will never have the track record of accomplishments of which success is made. Figure out what your goal is, or listen when your boss tells you, then figure out the best way to get there. What resources do you have? What can you get? Compare the strengths and weaknesses of individuals and other resources. Look at all the probable scenarios and develop a plan for them. Figure out the worst possible scenario and plan for that, too. Evaluate your different plans and develop what, in your best judgment, will work the best and what you will do if it doesnt. TIP:  One of the most often overlooked management planning tools is the most effective. Ask the people doing the work for their input. Organize Now that you have a plan, you have to make it happen. Is everything ready ahead of your group so the right stuff will get to your group at the right time? Is your group prepared to do its part of the plan? Is the downstream organization ready for what your group will deliver and when it will arrive? Find out if your workers are training and motivated and if they have the necessary equipment for following through on your plan. Your plan should include solutions for any eventuality, so prepare to have the necessary spare parts for the equipment. Ensure that purchasing has ordered the material and it is the right stuff and it will arrive in time to keep your plan on schedule. Do the legwork to make sure everything needed to execute the plan is ready to go or will be when it is needed. Check back to make sure that everyone understands their role and the importance of their role in the overall success. Direct Everything is in place and it is now time to flip the ON switch- tell people what they need to do. We like to think of this part like conducting an orchestra: Everyone in the orchestra has the music in front of them and they know which section is playing which piece and when. They know when to come in, what to play, and when to stop again. The conductor cues each section to make the music happen- thats your job here. Youve given all your musicians (workers) the sheet music (the plan), you have the right number of musicians (workers) in each section (department), and youve arranged the sections on stage so the music will sound best (you have organized the work). Now you need only to tap the podium lightly with your baton to get their attention and give the downbeat. Monitor Now that you have everything moving, you have to keep an eye on things. Make sure everything is going according to the plan and, when it isnt going according to plan, step in and adjust the plan. Problems will come up- someone will get sick; a part wont be delivered on time; a key customer will go bankrupt- but that is why you developed a contingency plan in the first place. You, as the manager, have to always be aware of whats going on so you can make any necessary adjustments. Monitoring is an iterative process- when something is out of sync, you need to plan a fix, organize the resources to make it work, direct the people who will make it happen, and continue to monitor the effect of the change. A Rewarding Experience Managing people is not easy; however, it can be done successfully and it can be a very rewarding experience. Remember that management, like any other skill, is something that you can improve at with study and practice.

Best Career Advice from Michelle Obama, Jeff Bezos more

Best Career Advice from Michelle Obama, Jeff Bezos more Best Career Advice from Michelle Obama, Jeff Bezos more 2018 was quite a year. There was no shortage of headline-making moments or reasons to grab your smartphone to instantly like, share or comment. Amongst the year’s highs were also some very defining moments for industry titans and influential people. And along with that, pivotal moments for everyday people like you and me. Career highs and professional opportunities abounded. Looking back, we took stock of some of the best career advice of the year. Here are five people who share five gems of advice that will inspire us today and into 2019. In a recent shareholder letter , Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos borrow down two basic kinds of decisions you can make: those that are easy to reverse and those that are nearly impossible to reverse. He advises not to be paralyzed by doubt, but to clearly evaluate what’s in front of you. “Some decisions are consequential and irreversible or nearly irreversible - one-way doors - and these decisions must be made methodically, carefully, slowly, with great deliberation and consultation. If you walk through and don’t like what you see on the other side, you can’t get back to where you were before. We can call these Type 1 decisions,” Bezos writes. “But most decisions aren’t like that - they are changeable, reversible - they’re two-way doors. If you’ve made a sub-optimal Type 2 decision, you don’t have to live with the consequences for that long. You can reopen the door and go back through. Type 2 decisions can and should be made quickly by high judgment individuals or small groups. As organizations get larger, there seems to be a tendency to use the heavyweight Type 1 decision-making process on most decisions, including many Type 2 decisions. The end result of this is slowness, unthoughtful risk aversion, failure to experiment sufficiently, and consequently diminished invention. We’ll have to figure out how to fight that tendency.” At the first-ever Global Citizen Festival in Johannesburg, South Africa in December, Oprah Winfrey spoke to thousands on what would have been Nelson Mandela’s 100th birthday. While speaking about the legacy of the former South African President and activist, Oprah shared a tidbit that we can all apply to our careers. In her speech, she said , “Let me tell you, no matter what’s going down in your life, there’s always somebody out there who’s not as blessed as you have been.” Oprah continued, “If you do even one small thing every day, you’ll be building your own legacy. Because as Maya Angelou taught me: Your legacy isn’t some big grand gesture that’s waiting to happen, your legacy is every life you touch. So I’ve been fortunate to witness up close and personal that when you help someone else, your blessings return to you 10 times.” Former First Lady Michelle Obama has a track record that anyone would be envious of: Princeton University undergrad, Harvard Law School, jobs in corporate law and public service, wife, mother, and, of course, First Lady. And while it may seem like her path has been a straight one, she insists in her new book “Becoming” that it doesn’t have to be. “In the book, I take you on the journey of who that little striving star-getter became, which is what a lot of hard-driving kids become: a box checker,” Obama tells Oprah Winfrey in an interview. “Get good grades: check. Apply to the best schools, get into Princeton: check. I wasn’t a swerver. I wasn’t somebody that was going to take risks,” she says. However, Obama admits she wasn’t happy. “I narrowed myself to being this thing I thought I should be. It took loss- losses in my life that made me think, Have you ever stopped to think about who you wanted to be? And I realized I had not. I was sitting on the 47th floor of an office building, going over cases and writing memos. I was like, ‘I can’t do this for the rest of my life. I can’t sit in a room and look at documents.’” So what changed? “Barack Obama taught me how to swerve,” admitted the First Lady. Winfrey chimes in, “What I loved about it is, it says to every person reading the book: You have the right to change your mind.” When you’re a more seasoned professional, you have experienced both the ups and the downs of professional life. You may have been laid off, fired, missed out on a promotion or made a seemingly career-defining mistake. However, Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu insists that fear should not paralyze you forever. Before directing the box-office hit, Chu directed the failed remake of 2015’s Jem and the Holograms . It scored a 19% on Rotten Tomatoes and was pulled from theaters early. Getting back into the director’s chair on the book-to-screen adaptation of the Kevin Kwan hit was daunting, needless to say. “The fear of doing [‘Jem’] again was definitely present,” he said . “I always told myself after ‘Jem,’ I don’t want fear to change my choices. Fear is a destruction of creativity. Any time I had a fear about this movie I would go to that idea, don’t let ‘Jem’ determine your choices here. You were destined to be here and do this movie.” Three simple words pack a lot of punch when delivered by one of the wealthiest and most successful investors in the world. Warren Buffet shared this quick, but meaningful, insight with a start-up co-founder when asked for the advice he’d give to new graduates about to enter the workplace. Buffet responded: Invest in yourself. The chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway then continued, “The one easy way to become worth 50 percent more than you are now at least is to hone your communication skills - both written and verbal. If you can’t communicate, it’s like winking at a girl in the dark - nothing happens. You can have all the brainpower in the world but you have to be able to transmit it. And the transmission is communication.” Buffett’s advice speaks volumes. Investing in yourself and in your communication abilities can take you from 0 to 100 instantly. You will be able to deliver a better elevator pitch, answer an interview question perfectly, pitch an idea to an investor, and make the case for a raise or promotion. Take time today to internalize the advice from seasoned pros and make tomorrow your best day ever!

FBI Directors secret Twitter account shows why you have no internet privacy

FBI Director's secret Twitter account shows why you have no internet privacy FBI Director's secret Twitter account shows why you have no internet privacy On Wednesday at a leadership dinner, FBI Director James Comey dangled  an irresistible carrot in front of reporters: he had recently acquired a secret Twitter account, he said, and he further let on that he had a private Instagram account with “nine followers.”When Comey spoke about his commitment to his own internet privacy and promised that “[n]obody is getting in” to find him online, that challenge proved irresistible to one journalist.There is no such thing as a secret social media accountMany influential CEOs and celebrities maintain “secret” social media accounts. One of the most famous is the singer Adele, who has said her official account is now controlled by her managers because of her habit of “mouthy” drunk tweeting and she now has a private account she uses to lurk. Many celebrities are rumored to have secret Facebook accounts, and hedge fund managers are said to be lurking in undisclosed Twitter accounts, where they can see financial news quietly.Let’s clear up one thing: there is no such thing as a secret social media account. If you’re on social media, you’re findable by anyone determined enough.That was the case with James Comey.We all leave digital breadcrumbs that reveal who we areGizmodo’s Ashley Feinberg described her path to discovering the FBI director’s secret Twitter account.She started by looking up his family on Twitter, which led to his son’s locked Instagram account.  Due to Instagram’s algorithm, all it took was four hours of internet sleuthing for Feinberg to follow Brien Comey’s Instagram to his father’s  anonymous  account, exposing @projectexile7.How Feinberg knew it was Comey: even the head of the FBI can’t resist leaving breadcrumbs on social media, and he had linked his secret account to his real-life interests. Feinberg wrote there was only one Comey account that matched the FBI Director’s  description of having only nine followers:  reinholdniebuhr. Hmm! Comey wrote his senior thesis on theologian Reinhold Niebuhr at the College of William and Mary. HMM!From there, the coincidences kept piling up. A tweeter using the name Reinhold Niebuhr was living at the handle @projectexile7. Project Exile was the name of a federal program to deter criminals from gun offenses that Comey helped create. This “Reinhold Niebuhr” was only following reporters covering the FBI and a notable friend of James Comey.Case closed. The FBI said it had no comment, but for me and all the Nancy Drews of the internet, the evidence was convincing enough.Comey himself has not publicly commented on his alleged outing, but according to one journalist, before @projectexile7 went underground and locked his account, he tipped his cap to Feinberg, sending her a link to the FBI job boards site. If it is Comey, the response is light and clever.https://twitter.com/samknight1/status/847607770182336512Of course, Comey’s case has an important lesson even for those of us who don’t run federal agencies: treat social media very carefully, because your colleagues, your bosses and maybe even the whole world could get to see it. There is no such thing as true privacy in a public forum.On the internet, no one knows you’re a dog- but algorithms already know everything about youYou can be the nation’s top executive in charge of protecting our cybersecurity and you can still get foiled by an algorithm.It didn’t matter that the account of Comey’s son was locked down and private. Once you sign up for social media accounts, you open up your contact lists - including family members - to their algorithms. An algorithm working under Instagram’s “open and connected” mandate can innocuously reveal to others your friends and families’ accounts that it thinks you might want to follow. The intent is benign: like Facebook and Twitter algorithms, Instagram’s “Suggestions” feature is  assuming  we all want to be more connected with everyone.Techno-sociologist Zeynep Tufekci expl ains how Instagram’s business argument wars with users’ privacy concerns: “[P]rivacy and boundaries around information are not stable- they are not stable because networks leak information; because your acts reveal deeper dynamics; because people like you give hints about what you will do; because this is all asymmetric: there is a business model, and then there is us, in the middle of all of this, connecting to one another because that is what people do.”Nothing is secretComey is the latest high-profile case in a long line of people who thought they could get away with a private social media account. In 2012, an Obama aide thought he could badmouth his boss under the secret handle of @natsecwonk. For more than two years, it worked and Jofi Joseph could snarkily tweet:  â€œâ€˜Has sh- y staff.’ #ObamaInThreeWords.” But using Joseph’s travel and shopping habits, the White House eventually pinned the account to Joseph and fired him.There is one notable success story: in 2 011, the National Labor Relations Board sided with an ambulance driver who got fired after she vented about her boss on Facebook. Because the woman was part of a union, the NLRB got the woman’s employer to settle and revise its “overly broad rules” on employees discussing wages, hours, and working conditions outside of work.How to keep some privacy onlineThe big takeaway? Nothing is secret once posted on a public network. If you do want to protect your privacy, your best bet is not to be on social media, and certainly not to talk about your secret accounts.You can also take these steps for digital privacy endorsed by the Electronic Freedom Foundation.As James Comey himself once said, “There is no such thing as absolute privacy in America; there is no place outside of judicial reach.” No wonder that, after Feinberg’s story came out, @projectexile7 locked his account.

The 3 Most Important People to Stay in Touch With (and How to Do It)

The 3 Most Important People to Stay in Touch With (and How to Do It) The 3 Most Important People to Stay in Touch With (and How to Do It) When it comes to networking, there are the “easy” people to stay in touch with. The old co-worker you still get monthly drinks with. The connections you see regularly at industry functions. Your first boss. But I probably don’t have to tell you that the easy way out isn’t always the best. Given the unpredictability of work (i.e., you never know when you’re going to need your connections the most) and of networking (think: the person you’re certain will open doors is on a month-long tour of Europe), staying in touch with a wide array of contacts is more important than you might think. In other words, when you’re thinking about building and fostering your network, don’t simply reach out to the most obvious contacts. In particular, be sure to make time to connect with the three kinds of people below. 1. Someone Who Pushed You to Do Your Best Whether it was a coach, a professor, or an interim supervisor, someone in your past pushed you- hard. This person always called you out for phoning it in and constantly made sure you were giving your all. At first, you may be inclined to stay in touch only with those who thought you were amazing from the get-go. But think about it: The person who pushed you not only thought you were great- he or she saw that you had even more potential. And when it comes to future career opportunities? That’s definitely someone you want on your side. So, how should you keep in touch? This person was pushing you to be your best, so a great time to reach out is when you’re killing it- when, say, you’ve earned a big promotion or received an award. Fill your contact in on your latest accomplishments, thank him or her for all the support over the years- and then ask for any advice on how you can continue to grow (because you know you’ll get it). 2. A Contact Who Offered to Put in a Good Word Similarly, someone who has once put his or her neck out for you obviously knows your worth. He or she is in your corner (and, assuming you lived up to expectations, will likely recommend you again). Now the key is realizing that there’s a difference between someone who gives you a strong reference when you ask for it- and someone who offers to put in a good word for you. The latter is the sort of person who will brainstorm with you when you’re in need of contacts in a new city or if you’re looking to change fields. Whenever you find yourself in transition, this person should be one of your first calls. Tell him or her what you’re hoping to do, and then ask if he or she has any contacts or advice. 3. The Best Assistant (or Intern) Ever You’ve probably heard you shouldn’t strictly network “up” (i.e., only with people in higher positions than you are). Because that person in a support role who knocked your socks off won’t be in a support role forever. However, while networking should happen in all directions, unless there is a strong social component- e.g., you two used to hang out outside of work- reaching out to a former supervisor can feel like imposing. Meaning, someone who worked for you in a support role is unlikely to reach out to you unless he or she needs a reference. So, as the former supervisor, you should take the lead in connecting with your former employee. Send a quick email or Facebook message to inquire how his new job is going, or bond over bumping into a colorful contact she’ll be sure to remember. When thinking about who from your past you should reconnect with, don’t sell yourself short by only reaching out to former bosses. Think broadly about your past contacts, and use the tips above to expand your network. Photo of woman on phone courtesy of Shutterstock.

U.S. Military Code of Conduct, Article 6

U.S. Military Code of Conduct, Article 6 U.S. Military Code of Conduct, Article 6 Article VI I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America. Explanation: A member of the Armed Forces remains responsible for personal actions at all times. Article VI is designed to assist members of the Armed Forces to fulfill their responsibilities and survive captivity with honor. The CoC does not conflict with the UCMJ, which continues to apply to each military member during captivity or other hostile detention. Failure to adhere to the CoC may subject Service members to applicable disposition under the UCMJ. When repatriated, POWs can expect their actions to be subject to review, both as to circumstances of capture and as to conduct during detention. The purpose of such review is to recognize meritorious performance and, if necessary, investigate any allegations of misconduct. Such reviews shall be conducted with due regard for the rights of the individual and consideration for the conditions of captivity. A member of the Armed Forces who is captured has a continuing obligation to resist all attempts at indoctrination and remain loyal to the United States. The life of a POW may be very hard. POWs who stand firm and united against enemy pressures shall aid one another immeasurably in surviving this ordeal. What Military Personnel Need to Know Understand the relationship between the UCMJ and the CoC, and realize that failure to follow the guidance of the CoC may result in subsequent disposition under the UCMJ. Every member of the Armed Forces of the United States should understand that Service members may be held legally accountable for personal actions while detained.Understand that the Military Services, as prescribed in Federal law, shall take care of both the POW and dependents and that pay and allowances, eligibility and procedures for promotion, and benefits for dependents continue while the POW is detained even if the enemy does not report the Service member as being a POW and his or her status reflects missing in action. Understand the importance of military members ensuring that their personal affairs and family matters (pay, powers of attorney, wills, debt payments, and childrens schooling) are kept current through discussion, counseling or filing of documents before being exposed to risk of capture.

Here is how you can escape a life of mediocrity

Here is how you can escape a life of mediocrity Here is how you can escape a life of mediocrity Maybe you are nervous, uncertain and afraid. Perhaps you’re weighing the risks and rewards. Maybe you’re not. But you know you want a change. A different outcome.Something inside you persists, pushes and cajoles until you can’t ignore it anymore. And so, throwing caution to the wind, you leap. Like a young eagle who leaves the nest for the first time, you leap.You instinctively know that the comfort of the nest isn’t enough. When the fear of staying is greater than the fear of leaving, you leap.Charging that cliffThink back on the accomplishments and breakthroughs in your life. Some may have been due to good fortune and luck. But the most satisfying and meaningful growth often comes from the leap. From the aftermath of charging that cliff and throwing oneself into the abyss.Diving into the abyss is scary. At first, it may feel like you’re falling. But then, at some point you experience what the young eagle leaving the nest feels. Exhilaration. Freedom. The thrill of enterin g a whole new world. New possibilities and dreams.“Living with fear stops us taking risks, and if you don’t go out on the branch, you’re never going to get the best fruit.” - Sarah ParishCountry music artist Tim McGraw wouldn’t go on stage without a drink. He needed a little “liquid courage” to perform. But it didn’t end there.He’d get trashed and drunk-call his wife. He’d slur. Then, to hide his inebriation, he’d text her. Except everything was misspelled, and she knew.Finally, after one last bender and hangover, he flew into Florida to start a new concert tour. And he decided to quit. He took the leap.It certainly could not have been easy. The superstar lifestyle is not conducive to sobriety. But he took the leap anyway, and never looked back. Today, he is in the best shape of his life and more successful than ever.My fear of flyingFor me, venturing outside the nest and leaping meant getting on a plane. I had a fear of flying and heights. The fear prevented me from taking trips I should have taken.Then an opportunity came to study landscape painting with renowned artist Scott L. Christensen. My wife shot down all my excuses about expenses, time away from work and upcoming obligations. She knew they were sad facades, masking the real issue. My fear of flying.Defeated, I packed my art gear, stepped on that big plane and threw caution to the wind. I hated every bump and flashing “fasten seatbelt” sign.But then we landed in Idaho and I felt it. Exhilaration. The joy of conquering my fear. That turning point led to more painting trips to study with Christensen and significant, personal growth as an artist.What’s holding you back?What’s holding you back? Your weight? An addiction? An unhealthy relationship? Depression? Uncertainty and fear? All of these challenges have real solutions, if you’re ready to leave the nest once and for all. If you’re ready to take the leap and soar.Yes, sometimes the flight is bumpy. Sometimes it’s the wrong leap and we fall. Some falls take longer to recover from than others. But playing it safe and never leaping is its own kind of hell.An article in Rhapsodystrategies.com noted the following:“We are inspired by people who go beyond the norm and push the boundaries of possibility. Mediocrity, on the other hand, does not inspire. Nor does it lead to greatness. Success, however you define it, will elude you unless you are willing to push the limits you have placed on yourself and that others have placed on you.”What a tragedy to not live boldly and pursue one’s passions. If you want to soar, you have to leap.Nobody knows the magic bulletStart by weighing the pros and cons. Figure out what the best case and worst case scenarios are. What can you do to limit the consequences of the risk?There’s nothing wrong with doing your homework. But at some point, you need to take action. You need to listen to your heart. You need to take the leap.“Don’t listen to anybody. Nobody knows the magic bullet. If they did, they’d sell it and make a fortune. Follow your gut. Follow your instincts. Every once in a while, take a chance.” - Michael CudlitzIt’s easier to take risks and throw caution to the wind when we’re young. When we don’t have a family depending on us. But this doesn’t mean we can’t take risks later in life. We just need to be smart about it.They took the leapI’ve known people who made major career changes. People who were unhappy in their work, but had a family to provide for. So, they didn’t dive out of the nest carelessly.They took their time. They planned and prepared. They minimized the risks through proper planning and patience. But then, they took the leap.For some, the leap meant less money but more happiness. For others, the leap changed their lives for the better. For some, they stumbled, and had to regroup. But at least they tried, and learned from the effort.“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only thr ough experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.” - Helen KellerIf you feel stuck right now, don’t give up. Don’t live a life of mediocrity. Meaningful change may require research, planning and patience. Be smart about it, but don’t settle for your unhappiness.You’ll know when the timing is right. When you’re ready to leave the nest. When that day comes, draw a deep breath. Exhale.Then, take the leap. Feel what it’s like to soar. To finally fly, to the better future that awaits you.Before you goCartoons and tools of the trade on my desk.I’m John P. Weiss. I paint, draw cartoons and write about life.
