He was standing om SE Hawthorne Blvd, next to the neighborly grocery market, holding a bunch of newspapers and kindly greeting everyone. "Hello, how are you today?"
I bought the newspaper for a dollar and introduced myself.
"We buy the paper for 25 cents and with the profit we help the homeless people. You can have more information in here," he said with a friendly smile handing me a copy of 'Street roots'.
"Are you homeless?" I asked concerned, although somehow, I didn't think he was.
"Oh no, I live in Salem," Kenny replied and I felt relieved, "it's only a 45 minute drive. I do it with my Honda, it's pretty good on low gas.
- This is a part time job, I want to be involved in helping. I get a chance to talk to people and I like it.
I work at Nike and I study political science, too. I am interested in mechanics as well, I am going to take a course..."
"You are a very busy man, Kenny, but may I take your picture?
"Sure you may!"
I showed him the pictures on my camera display, and after exchanging a few more words, we wished each other Happy Holidays and parted.
From the corner of my eye I spotted David, (see note), the homeless young man I met a few weeks ago.

I went over to say hello. He was still holding the sign "I am hungry and homeless". I asked where he had sleeping lately and he said he was staying with a friend.
I wished him better luck and walked away with my grand-baby in the stroller, praying her life will be a good one.
There is so much misery in this world we share. I feel a never ending gratitude in my heart for all that I have in life, mainly the love of my family & friends and the freedom to come and go in considerably good health.

Online courses have become an attractive alternative to the on-campus classroom environment. Students can now complete assignments at their leisure and go on with their busy everyday routines. Since the first Ole Miss online course was offered in 2001, online courses have become increasingly popular, particularly within the last five to 10 years, according to the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. For the 2013 spring semester, Ole Miss is offering 58 online courses. There are courses offered from campus schools such as the School of Education, the School of Applied Sciences, the College of Liberal Arts and the School of Journalism. Although online courses do not require students to actually attend class on campus, most online courses do have one proctored exam during the semester. Some courses also include weekly online meetings or discussion boards. Those enrolled in the course must log in online and participate in group conversations through a program known as Angel or through their university Blackboard account. Online instructors are still available to their students through email or arranged in-person meetings, just as they would be available to students in a traditional class setting. Sophomore hospitality management major Jillian Harris has a part-time job off campus, so the traditional course times offered did not fit into her schedule. An online course was the only option. “It’s hard,” she said, “because in the classroom you are actually forced to pay attention. You’re already sitting in class so you might as well make your time worthwhile.” She said online classes are more difficult. “Your teacher posts podcasts, which can be anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours, and you have to force yourself to listen to them and really be an active listener,” she said. Anne Klingen, the director of Ole Miss Online, has the same perspective on online courses. “Online classes are harder for students that are used to being participants in the classroom and being fed by the instructor,” Klingen said. “With online classes you must be very active and self-motivated. Most students aren’t ready for that online model and tend to struggle at first.” Both part-time and full-time students make use of online courses. “Many full-time students enjoy the flexibility of online, self-paced courses because they can schedule them around their regular courses, and part-time students particularly may have difficulty fitting traditional courses into their schedules,” said Rebekah Reysen, a learning specialist at the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. The cost of an Ole Miss Online course is the same as a traditional 3-hour course, with out-of-state tuition still applied. The Department of Financial Aid also states that students will be charged an additional $33.33 per credit hour online course fee for each online course.

October 12.............Inspired by Mav's ring shot from yesterday, so I'm living up to the challenge of copycat, I simply personalized my copy! These tattoos are our wedding rings....we were married in Vegas and bought rings exactly like these tats to use during the ceremony. When we got home, we had a friend tattoo them on our arms and we replaced them with traditional wedding bands!
My husband starts his new job tomorrow, very exciting, but what will become of me???? I hope that this house does not become a prison like my last house! I have got to find a good part time job, or something to get me out of the house and a litlle break from baby-land! Not that I don't enjoy staying home with my son, it's just too much of a good thing.......
As Audrey Charles looked around, something seemed eerily familiar about the park she was visiting with three of her classmates.
It was the park benches and the descending staircase that carried visitors down into the park space that kept her wheels spinning, trying to imagine where she had seen it all before.
Except the park was 4,300 miles farther away from home than she had traveled her entire life prior to that day.
Then it struck her.
“Those were the same seats I saw on ‘Cheetah Girls 2’ when they were in Barcelona,” Charles said. “I went, ‘Oh my God, I’m here.”
It was an epiphany shared at some level by her classmates and chaperone Beth Shoemaker, as the five ladies traversed along the Mediterranean as part of a European tour including stops in Spain, France and Italy at the end of March.
The trip was the product of DHS becoming International Baccalaureate certified, according to Shoemaker.
“They thought it would be great, since we’re IB, to offer an international trip,” said Shoemaker, who also serves as Dublin High’s media specialist.
When Shoemaker took over as advisor for the trip, she began investigating options and leaned toward Spain as a potential stop.
“Since we offer Spanish courses on campus, I thought a Spanish-speaking country would be a good idea,” Shoemaker said, “then I noticed how close Spain was to France and Italy so we turned it into a Roman Conquest tour.”
The 10-day trip carried the five from DHS, and a sister school from Maryland, to the Spanish and French countryside still holding onto relics from the Roman Empire, the watering hole of Vincent van Gogh, Monaco and the Coliseum, to name a few.
“It was an experience of a lifetime,” Charles said.
Charles was joined by Kamisha Miles, Lauren Price and Samaya Dupree, along with Shoemaker, who began their “Roman Conquest” tour in Barcelona, stopping at Park Guell; the aforementioned site from the movie.
By Day 3, the quintuplet stopped in the walled city of Carcassone, camping out at the Hotel Forum in Arles France: the once home of van Gogh.
“Our hotel was directly across from the Yellow Café where van Gogh used visit,” Shoemaker said. “It was a quiet, quaint little town. It all rolled up at 9 p.m.”
The trip continued through France with a visit to Cote d’Azur and the Roman-era Nimes-Maison Carree and Arena before heading east to a Roman aqueduct called the Pont du Gard.
Then Monaco.
“It was so beautiful,” Shoemaker said, showing a selfie that included the building-filled hills of the Riviera coastline in the background. It was in Monaco where the students broke from touring to take part in a cooking class where they constructed their own Mediterranean-stylized meals.
“All the food was amazing,” Miles said.
“My favorite part was the chocolate,” Price said with a smile. “Chocolate mousse, chocolate mocha.”
“Even at the truck stops,” Shoemaker added. “It was unbelievable. It was food you’d find in a regular restaurant in America.”
From Grace Kelly’s former home, the group headed to Florence and finally to Rome for two days touring the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and the Piazza Navona, as well as the Ostia Antica (a large archaeological site).
“And we went to the Vatican,” added Charles, who took on a part-time job in order to cover the expense of the trip. “The ceilings there were really pretty.”
“The beauty of the Vatican Museum really struck me,” Miles said.
Every one of the women, both young and old, said the trip is one that will live on in their memories indefinitely.
“I wanted to go because I had been places before with my parents and I wanted to try it for myself,” Miles said. “When I look back on my phone I realize how great it all was.”
“I feel more confident in trying new things because of the trip,” Charles added.
“It was amazing to see them grow and mature in such a short period,” Shoemaker said. “They were a pleasure and I’d take them anywhere. I can’t wait to go back.”
There's a vast world of colors out there, divided into hues and shades! We as photographers have the unique opportunity to capture and to give new meaning to the visible spectrums all about us.
I'm beginning a journey to capture some facet of this beauty each day for a year. I know that my last was far from a success (we won't talk about it), but I hope that, between a graduate-level workload at school and a part-time job, I will be able to find the time to enjoy my hobby.
Our son introduced us to a new craft beer operation in Kingstown on our Easter visit. Josh is always on top of things in the craft beer market and was eager to introduce us to King’s Town Beer Company which was one of his recent discoveries. Conveniently located a mere five minute drive from his house, it makes things easy for him to support the local economy rather than the conglomerates.
I can be excused for being a bit confused as we pulled up outside a rather modern industrial building identified as a health care company. There was no visible sign that it was a microbrewery – until we walked in the front door and saw a long tasting bar and were surrounded by the unmistakable aroma of brewing beer. The tasting bar gave way to the brewing operation without any distinction and the whole place was clean and bright. I never got around to asking about the health care signage but I assume the owners just haven’t gotten around to replacing their predecessor’s signage with their own. (That, or they regard craft beer as an integral part of good health care.)
This is the friendly face of the man who welcomed us and invited us to pull up stools and taste the current products. Meet Mike, one of two Mikes who are friends with a love of craft beer. I did not meet the other Mike who is the brewmaster with over 20 years of experience brewing beer non-commercially. Both are “born and raised Kingstonians.”
Tasting rooms are common in craft beer outlets because their product is brewed in small batches and sold locally. It is unlikely a prospective customer would have tasted the product through another outlet. Added to that is the fact that a few recipes are used at any given time to produce a selection. There were five types available on the day we visited (see chalkboard photo in comments section below.) The final reason for tasting is that the selection is ever-changing so it is unlikely that you would know what you were being offered if you didn’t sample it. The process of shopping involves being served a small glass of each current variety, allowing time in between to chat with the owner and discuss the unique characteristics of each brew.
Mike, predictably, knew a lot about each of the beers and explained its characteristics and was very interested in an honest appraisal of each. Our son had prepared us for the tasting ritual and said Mike was likely to extend the tasting and chatting ritual for as long as we wanted – as long as we didn’t appear too intoxicated to drive home safely. Mike had been through the province’s mandatory Safe Serve program which educates servers about the effects of alcoholism and provides a variety of methods of judging when a customer is about to leave the realm of “safely served.” The beers were poured from jugs with screw caps called “growlers” and that is the quantity priced on the chalkboard. Kings Town Beer Company is not equipped to can their product so all is sold locally in growlers. They are relying on word of mouth and local advertising and Mike told us that business is picking up as customers within the craft beer community talk to one another.
Our chat was really interesting as we sampled the product. Mike was a great host and we were the only ones in the shop at the time so we had his undivided attention. He told us which beer was about to drop off the list for the summer and which beers were liked most by different beer drinkers. He pointed out that it’s hard to predict what beer one person will like, however, as beers may taste different to the drinker on different days. He finds it interesting that someone who says they like a “hoppy” beer, might not like the hoppy beer, or vice-versa.
Interestingly, Kings Town Beer Company is a part time job for the two Mikes. Our host explained that his “real job” is selling and installing video security systems. He manages to juggle his hours so that he can cover shifts at the brewery in the late afternoons and evenings. They do have some hired staff to help cover the bases but they are open mainly afternoons and evenings. Mike explained that the process of buying and installing the vats and associated equipment was matched only by dealing with the complexities of the bureaucracy that governs any business that deals in consumables. They spent months working their way through a system neither was familiar with and are picturing that they might be able to expand their business by consulting to others who are planning to open craft breweries.
When I asked Mike if he would care to participate in my photography project he was very agreeable and I fired off a couple of portraits of him behind the bar. He invited me to roam around and photograph anything I wanted to capture. It was like being the guest in his house. Before we made our purchases he invited us to do a bit more sampling if we wanted to. “I’m going to have to dump these growlers before closing anyway so they might as well go to a good cause.” It was a friendly offer, but we figured we’d had the right amount to drive home comfortably with a few growlers of his product to look forward to sipping on the weekend.
Thank you Mike for being such a friendly host and for giving us the “grand tour” of your delicious products. We wish you every success with the business. Thanks also, for participating in my photography project. I look forward to stopping in next time we are in Kingston.

Part Time Job #1
I work as a substitute teacher at an Early Learning Center (a Daycare/Pre-k). Today I was working in the infants room (6 months through 1 year olds).
This image is from the perspective of an infant in a crib laying on their back looking up at the ceiling. I took this photo by placing the camera in an empty crib with the lens pointing up. I have to say, seeing it through an infants eyes for the first time, that this is kind of terrifying. No wonder so many of them have trouble falling asleep.
The crisis has hit women harder than men and this comes on top of the numerous obstacles they already face on their road to success. Women are more likely to be in part-time jobs and badly paid jobs, are paid less than men and are held back by a lack of childcare facilities. For this year's International Women's Day on 8 March, Parliament decided to focus on women's response to the crisis. Find out more in our feature.

Storyline - Born in Los Angeles, the only daughter of the world famous Chef Louis. Her father raised her and her brothers Julian and Louis after their mother disappeared.. She traveled the world with her father and brothers. Being the baby of the family, she was a bit spoiled as a child. Dance lessons, guitar lessons, and gymnastics were some of her favorite activities. One of her father's assistants gave her a camera when she was eleven, and she was hooked. As she grew up, her father bought her better and more expensive camera's and Vicki has photo albums full of images of places she and her family traveled. After high school, she attended U.C.L.A. and graduated with a degree in journalism. She's worked for the LA Times, the Chicago tribune and the Washington Post. She signed a contract with National Geographic and was sent all over the world. Her last assignment for them took her to Burundi where a civil war threatened to cause starvation. Working as the photographer for journalist Herbert Voss, Vicki saw the horrors of war first hand. Caught in a firefight betweeen the rebel soldiers and the Burundi National Army, Vicki was shot four times. Voss fled, leaving her to die. Rebel soldiers found her and took her to the hospital in Cape Town. She died twice on the operating table, but the doctors were able to revive her. National Geographic gave her a year medical leave and Vicki has returned to the states. She moved to Gotham, and stayed with her older brother, Julian. She'd taken a part time job for the Gotham Gazette and Was hoping to find that a safer assignments
What she found was not only a great story, but the love of her life. Bruce Wayne was hard to get close to, but she managed. For a year, she struggled with their relationship and the knowledge that Bruce was also Batman. When she could no longer live with Bruce's dual identity, she left Gotham and moved to Chicago. But she had a secret, one that she kept from Bruce. When she left, she was carrying his child. She gave birth seven months after leaving Gotham to a boy she named Thomas Alfred Wayne.
Three years later....
Returning to Gotham hadn't been an easy decision. Her brother Julian and his wife Amanda had offered to let her and Thomas live with them and the Gazette had offered her the job of Image Editor. Julian and Amanda's daughter, Victoria is three and she and her cousin Thomas became fast friends.

1887 Queen Anne Listed on the National Register of Historical places, the ''Shea House'' is a unique expression of the Queen Anne Style (the only one in Council Bluffs).
John Joseph Shea was born in 1859 near the village of Business Corners in Van Buren County. His parents were John Shea and Ellen Flynn Shea, natives of County Kerry, Ireland. It is not known if there were other children.
In the 1860s, the family moved to Jefferson County, where John helped his father on the farm and attended country school. He was an exceptional student. Having no further education beyond what he received in the country school and county institutes, he qualified as a teacher.
At a very young age, he taught school near Neola. With money he made teaching and working at part time jobs, he was able to enter law school at the University of Iowa, graduating in 1882. He began the practice of law in Neola as a member of the firm of McWilliams and Shea.
Agnes Mary Fenlon was born in 1860 in Illinois. Her father, James Fenlon, was born in Ireland; her mother was born in Pennsylvania. Other family members were her sister, Nellie, and her brother, James. Agnes taught school at the Center Street School in Council Bluffs. The St. Patrick parish (Neola) centennial book commemorating the construction of the church recognizes Mr. and Mrs. James Fenlon and the children of James Fenlon as donors of large windows in the church.
John Shea and Agnes Fenlon were married on Nov. 21, 1883, in Neola. A short time after their marriage, John was elected to the office of clerk of the district court of Pottawattamie County and he and Agnes became residents of Council Bluffs. He completed his term in 1889 and returned to the practice of law – this time in Council Bluffs. He formed a partnership with his boyhood friend, John Galvin. The firm Shea & Galvin was located in the Merriam Block.
The Sheas were the parents of six children: Florence (born in 1885), Elizabeth (1886), Elsie (1887), John J. (1890), Agnes (1892) and Thomas Fenlon (1894). In 1886, their address was 712 S. Eighth St.
On July 5, 1887, an announcement in The Nonpareil read: “Yesterday morning, County Clerk Shea broke ground for his handsome new residence on Eighth Street, immediately south of Capt. Geo. Brown’s residence. Wickham Bros. have the contract for the brick work and J.H. Murphy for the carpenter work.” (Agnes Shea’s sister, Nellie, was married to O.P. Wickham, contractor and brickmaker.)
By 1888, the Sheas were living in the new house at 309 S. Eighth St.
The Panic of 1893 was described as the worst economic depression the United States had experienced at the time. It was marked by the overbuilding and shaky financing of railroads and a run on the gold supply. It lasted for five years and resulted in a series of bank failures. The Sheas lost their new home.
According to city directory listings, in 1897 they were living at 629 Willow Ave., and in 1899 at 726 Willow Ave. In 1904, the family moved to Independence, Kan. The following year, they settled in Bartlesville, then Indian Territory, and afterwards Washington County, Okla., where he began the practice of law. According to the Annals of Iowa, he was ... “an active participant in the transition from the territorial to the state form of government; appointed judge of the twenty-fourth judicial district by Gov. Chas. N. Haskell; upon leaving the bench resumed the practice of law” ...
Following World War I and the discharge of his son Thomas from the Army, the Sheas moved to Tulsa, Okla. where John practiced law in partnership with his son until his death on Nov. 14, 1928. He was buried in Holy Family Cemetery beside his wife, who preceded him in death the previous year.
The Chronicles of Oklahoma wrote this about him: “The son of an Irish immigrant and tenant farmer, his life is a fit illustration of the heights to which the lowliest citizen of this country may ascend. He loved the Constitution of the United States and the American Way of Life, and he believed that this country had attained its greatness and its leadership among the nations of the earth because of the fact that its government is one of laws and not of men.”
Banker Timothy Turner purchased the home at 309 S. Eighth St. in 1900. He and his brother-in-law, C.R. Hannan, who lived across the street at 805 Second Ave., founded City National Bank. Turner’s daughter, Marian, continued to live in the house until 1993.
This massive two and one-half story Queen Anne house is built of patterned brick, adorned with limestone, pressed metal trim, carved sunbursts and corbelled chimneys. It is dominated by a three-story turret with a “witch’s cap” on one corner and a two-story square bay on the other corner. There are many stained, leaded and beveled glass windows. The large “L” shaped porch of classical design was modified at a later date, while a side porch is of a charming gingerbread style. Projecting from the north side of the house is a one-story round room. Once a bed and breakfast, the house is now a private home, a local landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The summer weather has hit us hard. And today was the big grocery shop day. Usually the disabled guy goes with me and we end up with two cartfuls, three when bagged. But today he didn't want to go which means I had to do it all by myself.
See, back in the day, when we first got VA disability, times were way tough. We would literally run out of food the last week of the month. I'd have to borrow (as in take, because they never expected us to pay it back) anywhere from twenty to a hundred bucks from my parents to get us to payday. So on the last day of the month, we'd go to the store and buy EVERYTHING we were out of. And now it isn't so bad. The kids have part-time jobs (or full-time, depending on what time of the year it is). They have their own money to buy their stuff with (like clothes, CDs, junk food whatever) so we have a little more income to last us to the end of the month.
Even so, that end of the month shopping trip is hard to break out of. And today I did it myself. I was sweating like a basketball player in the final quarter of the big game. I was pushing a cart and pulling one behind me. I was so sweaty that my hair gel reactivated.
Hours later, now the hair gel is stiff and gross. My hair was sticking to my face and my neck... I was so very glad to get into the truck and kick up the AC to full blast. And of course, the central AC in my house is always paradise.
Boiled green peas, spiced and topped with grated coconut and raw mango (Sundal in tamil), the age old snack you would'nt miss on Marina Beach,Chennai. The snack is usually sold by young boys who sometimes do it as a part time job, when they are not at school.
As Audrey Charles looked around, something seemed eerily familiar about the park she was visiting with three of her classmates.
It was the park benches and the descending staircase that carried visitors down into the park space that kept her wheels spinning, trying to imagine where she had seen it all before.
Except the park was 4,300 miles farther away from home than she had traveled her entire life prior to that day.
Then it struck her.
“Those were the same seats I saw on ‘Cheetah Girls 2’ when they were in Barcelona,” Charles said. “I went, ‘Oh my God, I’m here.”
It was an epiphany shared at some level by her classmates and chaperone Beth Shoemaker, as the five ladies traversed along the Mediterranean as part of a European tour including stops in Spain, France and Italy at the end of March.
The trip was the product of DHS becoming International Baccalaureate certified, according to Shoemaker.
“They thought it would be great, since we’re IB, to offer an international trip,” said Shoemaker, who also serves as Dublin High’s media specialist.
When Shoemaker took over as advisor for the trip, she began investigating options and leaned toward Spain as a potential stop.
“Since we offer Spanish courses on campus, I thought a Spanish-speaking country would be a good idea,” Shoemaker said, “then I noticed how close Spain was to France and Italy so we turned it into a Roman Conquest tour.”
The 10-day trip carried the five from DHS, and a sister school from Maryland, to the Spanish and French countryside still holding onto relics from the Roman Empire, the watering hole of Vincent van Gogh, Monaco and the Coliseum, to name a few.
“It was an experience of a lifetime,” Charles said.
Charles was joined by Kamisha Miles, Lauren Price and Samaya Dupree, along with Shoemaker, who began their “Roman Conquest” tour in Barcelona, stopping at Park Guell; the aforementioned site from the movie.
By Day 3, the quintuplet stopped in the walled city of Carcassone, camping out at the Hotel Forum in Arles France: the once home of van Gogh.
“Our hotel was directly across from the Yellow Café where van Gogh used visit,” Shoemaker said. “It was a quiet, quaint little town. It all rolled up at 9 p.m.”
The trip continued through France with a visit to Cote d’Azur and the Roman-era Nimes-Maison Carree and Arena before heading east to a Roman aqueduct called the Pont du Gard.
Then Monaco.
“It was so beautiful,” Shoemaker said, showing a selfie that included the building-filled hills of the Riviera coastline in the background. It was in Monaco where the students broke from touring to take part in a cooking class where they constructed their own Mediterranean-stylized meals.
“All the food was amazing,” Miles said.
“My favorite part was the chocolate,” Price said with a smile. “Chocolate mousse, chocolate mocha.”
“Even at the truck stops,” Shoemaker added. “It was unbelievable. It was food you’d find in a regular restaurant in America.”
From Grace Kelly’s former home, the group headed to Florence and finally to Rome for two days touring the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and the Piazza Navona, as well as the Ostia Antica (a large archaeological site).
“And we went to the Vatican,” added Charles, who took on a part-time job in order to cover the expense of the trip. “The ceilings there were really pretty.”
“The beauty of the Vatican Museum really struck me,” Miles said.
Every one of the women, both young and old, said the trip is one that will live on in their memories indefinitely.
“I wanted to go because I had been places before with my parents and I wanted to try it for myself,” Miles said. “When I look back on my phone I realize how great it all was.”
“I feel more confident in trying new things because of the trip,” Charles added.
“It was amazing to see them grow and mature in such a short period,” Shoemaker said. “They were a pleasure and I’d take them anywhere. I can’t wait to go back.”
If we had capes we'd be superheroes. I picture us throwing stones across icy streets to save little old ladies who are about to get hit by traffic. It's really more of a part time job.
I'm a sucker for people on ropes. I have my own rope. In fact I even have my own Troll Pro Alp Tech rope descender, the Rolls Royce of rope descenders, and especially suitable for photographers on a rope who like easy fine position adjustment and two quickly free hands for the camera.
The belay on the tree trunk on the right (with cambium protection in place) looks as though they or materials went up from the grass in front of the tree, but on the other hand the stripey hazard tape around the lower parts of the rope looks as though they didn't.
I've twice thought of getting a rope acccess job. The first was as a high wire man when the Forth Road Bridge was being built, but probably luckily I became a computer programmer instead. The first construction worker to fall off the Forth Road Bridge fell straight through the safety nets into the water at such speed he was killed. The safety nets turned out not only to have been second hand, but to have been last used in the construction of the Forth Rail Bridge. Bit of a scandal that one. I'm not at all impressed by the fact that it's now the decrepit old Forth Road Bridge needing to be replaced because it's cracking up. I'm not even that old yet!
The second rope access job was after I retired. I thought I'd take up some quiet (no chain saws) tree surgery as a part time job. But public scepticism about a little old man climbing trees safely scuppered that one. The authorities wouldn't even let me sit the qualifying exam because I was too old. They could have been right. If too heavy and repetitive manual work over the last twenty years is what has knackered my right thumb then it's tree surgery that did it. But not unaided. Thirty years ago was when I first started noticing right thumb problems. The likely culprit for that was falling off Salisbury Crags fifty years ago. Because I wasn't roped. Because climbing was illegal.
Just as well we're only young once. It's the most dangerous age.

By obtaining a checking account for your business, you will be able to see all of the outgoing expenses and also keep track of how much money is coming in. To be effective, you must ensure that you use the account for all of your business expenses. This enables you to easily analyze all of your company's financial transactions. For purchases like office supplies and miscellaneous expenses, use a separate business credit card.
Make sure that you follow any zoning laws or local ordinances. Fines may result if you do not abide by the regulations in place. Try not to anger neighbors either. This may mean avoiding signage and keeping traffic to a minimum. Do your best to remain unobtrusive.
Always have an emergency fund for your business to avoid cash flow emergencies.

Make sure that you make timely deposits in your bank account, shortly after you are paid. Your deposits should remain on a daily schedule as compared to a weekly or longer period of separation. Always deposit your checks as soon as you get them. To ensure your deposit makes it to your account quickly and without hassle, opt for the teller over the ATM machine.
It may be tempting to be financially lenient with your customers as you start to build business relationships, but doing so may ultimately jeopardize your profitability.

It is also a good idea to include a clause for late penalties, within reason, for those who neglect their payment.

Above is a photo of me doing a cartwheel on the dock of Potomac Boat Club where I row. Rowing is my first love but it's hard to take a photo of that when you're holding two oars! Since the quarantine I've been doing cartwheels at all my favorite places - I may be ready for the senior gymnastics Olympics or for a part-time job at a circus!

Most people go to Music On Main on Thursday evenings to listen to live music, see the car show once a month and maybe have some ice cream from
Squire's Dairy Delight's ice cream wagon.
Walking up the steps onto Main Street, I met a man with a firm handshake and a pleasant smile.
Meet James Walker of Elkton. James was relaxing on a park bench while the music of the Pure Pleasure Band played in front of town hall and North and Main Streets were lined with classic cars and hot rods.
James seemed like a guy out for the evening before heading home to get a good nights sleep for tomorrow. The problems are that James is always around 24/7 because he has no home to go to and no job for some time.
"I'm homeless and I'm bored. I don't have any place to go, I'm not employed and I wouldn't mind getting a part time job like Walmart's, twenty hours a week. I don't mind working. I've worked at DuPont and Chrysler" he said.
James is tired of just hanging out and sleeping outside.
"This poor old black man needs a warm place to stay instead of sleeping under that bridge. I was there all last winter. I'm 62 and I'm not used to that kind of winter. I had an alcohol problem, but I'm out of rehab. A one bedroom apartment, that's all I need. I'm trying to get off these streets, he added.
That was James story, the first time I met him on August 20th, but I wasn't happy with the photo of him to post here. I caught up with him tonight at Music On Main during a concert by local bluegrass band Chain Reaction when I took this portrait of him.
"It's getting ready to get colder and I have to fight the elements," he said while standing at the corner of Main and North Streets.
James is still trying to find an apartment and is taking the steps to get one.
"I went over to Fox Ridge Apartments and I'm 12th on the list to get one. Affortable Housing is what it's called. I get fixed income now," he added.
James wears a Nascar hat so obviously I thought he was a fan.
"It says Ford, but I'm a Jeff Gordon fan since I used to work for DuPont at the Experimental Station in Wilmington, Delaware on route 41. I was a chemical operator for three years and a lab technician for four years. I had seven years employment there in 1976, then I went to Chrysler."
He was once married and has a daughter Beverly and son Jim Jr who he still sees.
"Their older now. They love me to death."
As the fall season approaches, I'll try to keep updates on James Walker and his countdown to a new home.
In case your wondering, the Voldemort t-shirt James is wearing is a character in the Harry Potter movies. Lord Voldemort (the "t" is silent) plays a villian and is an archenemy to Harry Potter according to Wikipedia. I didn't ask him about it, but should have.

Ill be posting more soon, going up to Scotland again with my grandad, sorry i havent posted just had no time, the workload from college is big and i have a part time job. i know its an old photo but i dont have anything good from recently, hope you dont mind :)
When I moved cross country to the Pacific Northwest from Boston I was just turning 30 and reluctantly realizing it was probably time to grow up. A couple of jumbo jets crashed into the twin towers, toppling the world economy and my hopes of making it as a commercial artist down with them. My budding art career dried up overnight. No art directors or publishers called me anymore. Suddenly my part time job as an environmental fundraiser wasn’t going to cut it and it was time to move cross country with a girl I’m incidentally no longer with and to pursue a real job…one with health benefits and a 401k. It was time to take responsibility and live the American Dream in a little cabin on the waterfront right next to her rich parents. Maybe someday we’d have kids and a dog…maybe I’d finally fit in with high society...maybe someday her well to do mother would stop judging me and like the person that I am. This entailed giving up my dreams as an artist…this meant losing my identity as a free thinker, as a rogue…as sort of a bad boy. This is the last painting I did when I lived in Boston and reflects the fear I felt of moving cross country. It tells the story of a guy named Roy…a regular guy living in the conformist 1950’s…a guy with a great job as a bread delivery driver, a guy with a supportive wife, beautiful kids and a little house with a white picket fence to call his own. In spite of having everything a regular guy could ever want, Roy eventually was compelled to rebel against conformity, religion, authority and the forces that caged him within the confines of being a regular guy and nothing more. He became more than happy to burn his perfect little house down in the dead of night and careen his truck off a cliff.
If paintings are like my children, this is my darkest, most brooding child yet. It’s a favorite amongst so many people. Years ago someone offered $6000 for it and I refused as I couldn’t bear to part with my most brooding child…one that reflects so much of my soul. That great job I was pressured to seek out so many years ago…the one with the health benefits and a 401k, like many things in life has ended a few months ago. I was just no longer affordable to keep around so they bid me adieu and sent me off into the world. I believe when one door closes, another opens and I’m trying my hand at being a commercial artist again. To move forward with my new life as an artist, I’m willing to live like one and finally sell off this painting for…as fate would have it…considerably less than the $6000 that was offered years ago. This and my other work will be at Zero Zero Gallery. 1525 Summit Ave. Seattle, WA. The opening is November 8th from 8-1030pm and will mark my reentry into the artist’s world. Come if you can, to show your support and hang out with me. I’ll be easy to find. I’ll be the one with a headful of hopes and dreams and a thousand doors of opportunities opening before me.

Getting Hired In Tech — The Value Of Work Experience
It’s the catch-22 of the working world: you’re new and you’re looking for a job, but you need work experience before you can even think about getting hired. In circumstances like these, how’s a techie to get their foot in the door? Who can you convince you’re worth taking a chance on?
If you’re facing this conundrum, you’re in luck: every web developer and designer in business today has gone through the same hiring ordeal, and we know the tricks they used to land their first gig.
We’ll cover every angle of the job search, from utilizing your personal network to finding online job opportunities. I’m so confident that these tactics will help you get hired I’ll even go one step further and guide you through how to make the most of your first gig.
How to find your first tech job
When you’ve got the skills for design or development work and you need a job now, the most important thing is to get your foot in the door. Scoring your first gig will help you build your portfolio, gather references, and demonstrate your talent: all things that will make getting your second, third, and fourth jobs that much easier.
John Feldmann, writer for Insperity Jobs, providers of human resources and business solutions to improve business performance, told us:
“Unless you’re applying for an entry-level job, work experience is often the cornerstone upon which a job applicant is evaluated in the technology field. After that, several factors may come into play – education, cultural fit, interviewing skills – but ultimately, employers want to see a track record of success in the field.”
When looking for your first gig as a designer or developer, think more about the experience you’re trying to gain rather than the pay.
Don’t get me wrong – being paid for your work is vital to your career (and your hungry stomach!).
But when you’re starting out and peddling your empty resume, impressing a clienton a low-paying (or pro bono) job can be more valuable in the long run than wasting away as you try to find a paying job. This might mean building a website for a friend, taking on a part-time job, or entering an unpaid internship. But as long as you are confident that you’ll get a great portfolio piece (or pieces) out of your experience, your hard work will pay off.
“If there was one thing I could tell all job seekers, it’s get experience – and get it early. Not only does it help you develop your skillset, but it allows you to get accustomed to the industry/work environment. You’ll have a better idea of how the business works, how to interact with people, and so on. I’m a huge advocate of internships for that reason. If I just hopped into a full-time job without knowing how things worked in an office, I’d be a little overwhelmed. Getting that experience early really does make a difference.”
Ariella Coombs, managing editor for CareeRealism.
When considering which jobs to take on, always remember: do it for the money, the contact, or the experience.
Keeping all this in mind, here are a few tips on how to find a job.
Reach out to everyone you know – and I mean everyone!
When you start your job search, your first step is to tell everyone – and I mean everyone – that you’re looking. Make your announcement through email, LinkedIn,Facebook, or carrier pigeon – it doesn’t matter; just get the word out that you’re ready to take on new and challenging work! Maybe your mom’s friend needs a new website for her flower shop. Maybe your high school music teacher could use some help building an events page.
You’ll never know until you ask.
As CareerFoundry CMO and Creative Director Emil Lamprecht recounts, one of his secrets to getting hired as a new freelancer was to tell everyone he knew that he was looking for work. That meant emailing friends, friends of friends, co-workers, and even ex-colleagues.
Since your resume is probably fairly blank right now and your portfolio non-existent, your best bet is to start reaching out to people who already know you and your work ethic. Given that they know you and probably place some level of trust in you, your existing contacts are more likely to hire you than a complete stranger.
When you write to your friends and contacts, let them know about your career change and the specific type of work you’re looking for. Looking to build websites? Great! But tell them what kind of websites you specialize in. Want to design mobile apps? Let your contacts know which platforms you work in.
Remember: even if your contacts can’t pay much or anything at all, gaining experience can be a springboard to future paying jobs by building your portfolio and helping you gather referrals.
Tap into people you don’t know
Once you’ve told your grandmom, your yoga instructor, and all of their friends that you’re on the market, it’s time to reach out to people you don’t know. And while the Internet can be a great resource for new job seekers,the millions of listed job openings listed online can be overwhelming. Here I break down how to find a job online without pulling out all of your hair.
Your alumni association
If you’ve earned a bachelor’s or master’s degree, chances are your university has established ways for you to network with alumni from your institution. Find alumniwho work in the field you want to enter, and set up informational interviews to learn how they got started.
Even though you might not have met the alumni you’ll reach out to, the fact that you graduated from the same institution is likely to make them more receptive toward you. And you never know: you can get some career-building advice, or maybe you’ll meet your next mentor!
Here are some ways to connect with professionals from your alma mater:
Your alumni association’s LinkedIn group: here you can post about what you’re looking for. If anyone knows of a relevant opening they might pass it along to you
LinkedIn search: LinkedIn offers a great search tool that lets you filter your extended network by university, title, location, and more
Your alumni directory: Similar to LinkedIn’s search, use this tool to search for alumni in the position you aim to enter and ask for an informational interview

I've been pursuing photography as a career for a couple of years now and today I decided to throw in the towel. I'll still take photos, because I love it. But I dreaded every session. I wasn't getting enough clients to rely on it, so on top of a full time job, it wasn't worth it and it wasn't fun anymore. It was just a part time job and that's not what I ever wanted for myself. I wanted a career made of something I loved, not something I loved made into a job.

As Audrey Charles looked around, something seemed eerily familiar about the park she was visiting with three of her classmates.
It was the park benches and the descending staircase that carried visitors down into the park space that kept her wheels spinning, trying to imagine where she had seen it all before.
Except the park was 4,300 miles farther away from home than she had traveled her entire life prior to that day.
Then it struck her.
“Those were the same seats I saw on ‘Cheetah Girls 2’ when they were in Barcelona,” Charles said. “I went, ‘Oh my God, I’m here.”
It was an epiphany shared at some level by her classmates and chaperone Beth Shoemaker, as the five ladies traversed along the Mediterranean as part of a European tour including stops in Spain, France and Italy at the end of March.
The trip was the product of DHS becoming International Baccalaureate certified, according to Shoemaker.
“They thought it would be great, since we’re IB, to offer an international trip,” said Shoemaker, who also serves as Dublin High’s media specialist.
When Shoemaker took over as advisor for the trip, she began investigating options and leaned toward Spain as a potential stop.
“Since we offer Spanish courses on campus, I thought a Spanish-speaking country would be a good idea,” Shoemaker said, “then I noticed how close Spain was to France and Italy so we turned it into a Roman Conquest tour.”
The 10-day trip carried the five from DHS, and a sister school from Maryland, to the Spanish and French countryside still holding onto relics from the Roman Empire, the watering hole of Vincent van Gogh, Monaco and the Coliseum, to name a few.
“It was an experience of a lifetime,” Charles said.
Charles was joined by Kamisha Miles, Lauren Price and Samaya Dupree, along with Shoemaker, who began their “Roman Conquest” tour in Barcelona, stopping at Park Guell; the aforementioned site from the movie.
By Day 3, the quintuplet stopped in the walled city of Carcassone, camping out at the Hotel Forum in Arles France: the once home of van Gogh.
“Our hotel was directly across from the Yellow Café where van Gogh used visit,” Shoemaker said. “It was a quiet, quaint little town. It all rolled up at 9 p.m.”
The trip continued through France with a visit to Cote d’Azur and the Roman-era Nimes-Maison Carree and Arena before heading east to a Roman aqueduct called the Pont du Gard.
Then Monaco.
“It was so beautiful,” Shoemaker said, showing a selfie that included the building-filled hills of the Riviera coastline in the background. It was in Monaco where the students broke from touring to take part in a cooking class where they constructed their own Mediterranean-stylized meals.
“All the food was amazing,” Miles said.
“My favorite part was the chocolate,” Price said with a smile. “Chocolate mousse, chocolate mocha.”
“Even at the truck stops,” Shoemaker added. “It was unbelievable. It was food you’d find in a regular restaurant in America.”
From Grace Kelly’s former home, the group headed to Florence and finally to Rome for two days touring the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and the Piazza Navona, as well as the Ostia Antica (a large archaeological site).
“And we went to the Vatican,” added Charles, who took on a part-time job in order to cover the expense of the trip. “The ceilings there were really pretty.”
“The beauty of the Vatican Museum really struck me,” Miles said.
Every one of the women, both young and old, said the trip is one that will live on in their memories indefinitely.
“I wanted to go because I had been places before with my parents and I wanted to try it for myself,” Miles said. “When I look back on my phone I realize how great it all was.”
“I feel more confident in trying new things because of the trip,” Charles added.
“It was amazing to see them grow and mature in such a short period,” Shoemaker said. “They were a pleasure and I’d take them anywhere. I can’t wait to go back.”
Danilo had lived in Dimitrovgrad all his life, living with his mother and working in his hometown until two years ago when started working in Bulgaria. He traveled to work from Dimitrovgrad to Slivnica, about 30 km away, and sometimes stays there for a few weeks. When COVID began and the borders closed, he couldn’t go to work or travel anymore, so he was out of work for several months. Currently without any regular income, he hopes to start working again soon. Now, he starts to work a part time job, checking train wagons in the customs space in Dimitrovgrad, before they go to Bulgaria.
In rural Serbia, many make a living from dairy farming. With the pandemic, prices for milk or cheese sharply fell, as did their market, and many families are hurting. Meanwhile, young people who might have left to find work elsewhere are feeling trapped in the countryside. also now restricted.

My version of the one of my favorite SelfMOCs. Please welcome Velken!
This is my universe version. In my world he is better known as 10% VEXUS Velken. Velken is lone warrior. He is working for himself. While doing one part-time job he was attacked by VEXUS virus. There was a fight between him and some VEXUS'ifed matoran and Toa. Velken prove his strength and VEXUS tried to get him. Thankfully Velken didn't corrupted completely. But it cause some memory loss and also loss with his elemental powers.
