Have you been laid-off or fired from your last job? Are you looking for work and not having much success? Standard advice to job seekers includes updating your resume, attending networking events, calling your contacts, etc. What is seldom mentioned is the need to work on forgiving your last employer or the manager who laid you off.

Believe it or not, without fully processing your anger and resentment toward your last job, company or boss, you will have a hard time convincing a new employer to hire you.

Take this scenario: Let’s say you are lucky enough to get an interview, however you are still full of bitterness toward your last manager. Even if you don’t say something overtly derogatory about your last job, your resentment will be felt on an unconscious level by the interviewer.

What interviewer, in a very tight job market, wants to hire someone who is full of negative emotions? In a recession, employers have the pick of the field in hiring, and will almost always choose a candidate who exudes confidence, forgiveness of past employers and a broad perspective of market conditions and human frailty.

During a period of unemployment, your time would be well spent in working through your feelings about how and why you were terminated. Writing down your deepest thoughts and feelings is a good way to extract them from the inside closet of your mind and apply them to paper. In that way, your analytical brain can process them, see patterns, gain perspective and forgive the past.

Forgiving yourself will be part of this process for those who feel some responsibility for losing their job.

Loss is in the eye of the beholder. Some losses are considered gigantic. Others are expected changes to the status quo. More important, the same loss can be viewed quite differently by two people. Yet, all of us suffer what we consider to be great losses.

Regardless of the way we consider a specific loss in our lives, it can provide the setting for learning more about ourselves and the world in which we live. We seldom openly recognize that big losses, like the death of a loved one, change us. Nevertheless, loss causes us to see the world in a more realistic way, to know that sorrow and sadness is a reality, and come to realize that that change is continuous.

But do we really take advantage of the lessons that loss teaches, the spiritual and psychological development that is always available in transformation? As the pain of your grief begins to recede be open to possible benefits. Here is what many have learned that might help us better accept what we cannot control, and reduce self-imposed suffering.

1. The importance of interpersonal relationships. It is so easy to overlook how important our interpersonal relationships are until we are down, and friends and neighbors step up to help in a time of need. We are often reminded that relationships with others are critical to health and well-being; they are at the core of what makes life joyful. The message is: nurture your relationships and give and accept support.

2. The importance of spiritual life. Death and other great losses always cause us to think big questions like Why am I here? and Why did this happen? and How does this fit into any plan? The search for meaning in loss lays bare our spiritual side. We realize that it is our deep inner life that is so important in managing the difficult turns in life. Many become aware of the strength, through faith, that can be found in a power greater than the self.

3. The importance of the little things taken for granted. The short walks by the seashore, the smell of coffee, the sounds of nature, the sun and the stars often seem more enjoyable and sometimes needed after great losses. We often are reminded of how inspiring and enjoyable the simple things in life can be. The message: focus on what you still possess to balance your sorrow.

4. The search for meaning. Why do we have to suffer? How can we fit our loss into some frame of understanding? Why did this loss occur at this time? Answering these questions is not easy, and sometimes answers cannot be found. More often meaning is found, and a new version of life is formed. Often old beliefs are changed and new beliefs adopted about what is really important.

5. The need for silence and solitude. Being surrounded by many support persons for long hours makes precious silence and solitude a welcome gift for many at the end of the day. It often becomes a time for replenishing energy, and thinking about new priorities and directions that can be followed in relearning a world that has dramatically changed because of our loss. We can especially think about the fact that life is so much more than the culture conditions us to believe it is.

6. The assessment of our dependence on the person or object of loss. Not infrequently, loss has us realize that we had lost our identity as a person by depending too much on the loved one or object of loss. Now we have to reclaim what we gave away at a difficult time. Rebuilding identity and taking on new responsibilities and roles is a major challenge that has to be met.

In summary, perhaps one reason we face constant change is to learn from and grow through our losses, to find out who we really are, and not live on the surface but at a deeper level. Could it be that through suffering we learn how great and resilient the inner self is, that we have been living a less than full life, and that we are more than we realize?

Suffering through loss often raises our level of consciousness to heights we never new existed. It can lead us to developing our ultimate potential as an individual, and in our ability to help others. The challenge is to be open to learning from all of the experiences life offers, even the ones we would rather pass us by. The choice is clear: learn or suffer without growing.

The 1960s was an era of great change and revolution in the fashion world; modeling agencies first began to appear. At first, agencies providing secretarial services offered their services to models to get contracts, charging weekly rates commissions for bookings. Models were on their own in choosing brands and clients and in maintaining their contracts and billing accounts. Payment was usually in cash and hence, cat-and-mouse games between models and customs officials looking for cash on persons were always at loggerheads. As such, their work was limited to their own areas or cities and seldom did they travel. Most modeling contracts centered on single markets because of sketchy and unclear labor laws that existed in different countries regarding modeling. If a model travelled to say France or Germany where fashion magazines and houses were already well established, they were at the mercy of the agencies that exploited them by withholding their pay forcing them to return for more work, sometimes even without proper work visas. Competing agencies would often tip off police officials to raid hotels that housed models staying without work visas.

In the late 1960s London, with its more organized and streamlined approach to modeling, became the centre of the industry. It was time for the models to hit the jackpot; they became well-known outside their circles and became fashion icons. Models who ruled the London scene were Celia Hammond, Jean Shrimpton, Joanna Lumley, Penelope Tree, Pauline Stone and Tania Mallet were household names. The one significant person in the whole scene was Twiggy, just 16, who in spite of her young age and inexperience became ‘The Face of ’66’ inspiring many young women with her striking personality and fashion sense. In many ways, she was unlike many other models with just average height and small body and short haircut, almost boy-like akin to taller and more curvaceous models that were the choice of many agencies. She even earned more than the others; at £80 an hour against weekly averages of £25 she was the highest paid and very popular.

The formation of the Association of London Model Agents in 1967 revolutionized the modeling industry and brought about systematic changes and regulations so that the industry could operate on a more professional basis. Where earlier models were expected to be responsible for their own makeup and hair styles, modeling agencies took up this responsibility depending upon client requirements and contracts. That year also saw the setting up of the Wilhelmina Model Agency by Wilhelmina Cooper and her husband. This and other agencies that came up soon after like Models 1 and FM Agency helped models by representing them to businesses and helping them get better deals and work environments. The first modeling agency in the world, Ford Models, also encouraged teen models to earn money and support their families; they often had youngsters stay in-house, this became the precursor to ‘model housing’.

The year 1968 also saw the establishment of “supermodels”, color, ethnicity and race were no restricting factors; only models that held the attention of the world for considerable times and made it to the cover of magazines like Glamour, Vogue etc. were included in the list.

With all that is going on in our world just now we so need what used to be called and can still be called ‘reformers’. Living in Scotland and knowing a little about ‘reformers’ and having studied Reformation History at University in some detail is there not a strident cry and prayer for ‘reformers in these present days?

Having recently been re-visiting the ‘reformers’ and studying one aspect of the Reformation and looking around at the dismal state of various nations is not Reformation almost essential?

A reformer is a leader and he exercises leadership of the highest calibre influencing virtually every area of life.

We hear little about Reformers. We hear about pastors, church planters, praise leaders, youth ministries, but seldom Reformers. Why?

We are told that the literature is little known.

William Tyndale’s New Testament was bought by the British Museum for over £1 million.

The title Reformer has been used with suspicion, as they can be regarded as headstrong individuals who might divide or cause confusion in a congregation or even destroy congregations. That might or might not be the case depending on what is required and necessary.

Zeal is certainly a mark of a Reformer, but not the only one, and zeal without wisdom and love can be a very destructive thing.

A ‘Reformer’ is one who challenges the status quo. It is the act of forming again, or a second or new formation, and he is perhaps engaged in new beginnings or new departures.

We have been taught in the church, to uphold the pattern we have received, and to maintain the institutions, but the reformer can bring about shakings, especially if the New Testament pattern is all but lost.

It was William Tyndale’s New Testament in 1526 which brought the Word of God from the continent to the east coast of Scotland, and it was some of these very early reformers who brought John Knox into Gospel ministry.

William Tyndale, we are informed, was not only interested in translation, but in Reformation. Tyndale was born around 1494, and took his B.A. and M.A. at Oxford.

In these days you had to do 8 or 9 years at University before you studied Theology, and the theology he came across was described as ‘almost dumb, poor, and in rags’.

Tyndale discovered and he wrote ion these terms, that the grace of God sought me and found me, and showed me the truth, so that I bowed the knees of my heart to God that He would show the truth to all other men!

William Tyndale soon had to flee the United Kingdom and most of his significant work was done on the continent of Europe and latterly he was based in Antwerp.

A Reformer is a man who lives by faith in the word of God.

The churches were so dark before the Reformation because the Word of God was not there, and faith that overcomes the world was not known. Worldliness reigns, and is that not true across the western world today and even in many churches?

The only answer is the risen and living Lord Jesus Christ and the preaching and teaching of the Word of God in the power of the Holy Spirit.

A number of people are using Mac key performance indicators tool just to rate how good a Mac computer is. They usually do this when they want to compare a PC with a Mac. Most people are often attracted to PCs because they are relatively cheaper compared to Mac. Unfortunately, everyone knows that PCs often breakdown and crash. Aside from these errors, PCs are also susceptible to numerous kinds of malicious software. With Mac computers, you will seldom encounter these problems.

The first key performance indicator that you should look into when comparing a Mac and a PC is the operating system. The newest Mac OS is called Leopard while for PCs, it is called Microsoft Windows Vista. If you compare the prices, the cheaper of the two is Vista. But software experts have rated both operating systems and they have concluded that the Leopard is superior to Vista. According to them, Vista users are more likely to experience errors and crashes. Applications will also run more smoothly with Leopard than with Vista. Vista is also more susceptible to viruses.

The second indicator that you should look into is the quality. Throughout the years, Apple has been known as a company that is dedicated to quality rather than the production of a new model every week. Their hardware is very reliable and efficient.

The third indicator you must look for in a well performing computer pertains to the applications available with the operating system software. Mac offers its clients a number of wonderful tools, like iMovies, IiDVD, and a whole lot more. These applications come with the operating system when you buy Mac. Most PCs come only with the operating system and a few applications.

The last indicator that you will need to carefully consider is the price tag. Macs are a lot more expensive compared with PCs with the same specifications. This is why many people are drawn to the lower price tag of PCs. However, in the long run, Macs are a lot cheaper than PCs because Macs tend to last longer than PCs. Another thing to consider is that you are more likely to fix PCs compared with Macs because of the simple fact that PCs are more prone to viruses and crashes. On top of that, Macs are more likely to retain a huge percentage of its original value.

These are the key performance indicators that you should follow so that you will be able to see if the Mac you are buying is indeed more efficient than a PC. You do not have to use these as tools to compare with other computers. These indicators can also be used to gauge the overall performance of your Mac. These indicators are a very good way to calibrate the efficiency and speed of your computer.

Everyone knows, even without the help of these indicators, that Mac computers are the best computers in the market today. The primary reasons behind the use of these indicators are to measure the overall performance of the Mac computer and to show you how to interpret Mac key performance indicators tool.

As old as the hills is the distinction between narration and representation. Reviving Plato’s account of narration and representation, Percy Lubbock (an authority on Henry James’ novels and narrative innovations), started a new trend for writers of fiction: the technique of “show, don’t tell.”

Although Lubbock’s book The Craft of Fiction (1921) is seldom read today, the aphorism “show, don’t tell” remains unchallenged. But what was once fresh and new then has become in turn a new orthodoxy, an orthodoxy that has to be inspected and challenged regardless of the authority it exerts and the vast popularity and acceptance is has gained.

Contrary to what many writers think and practice, an abundance of dialogue and dramatized scenes doesn’t necessarily make for riveting writing. Thus, “show, don’t tell” has its limitations. Or even more than limitations, James Patrick Kelly, a popular writer of short stories says, “Show, don’t tell, can be a dangerous policy. Wordy writers think they must dramatize everything. But a story isn’t a game of charades; come out and tell readers what’s what.”

Francine Prose, in her invaluable book, Reading like a Writer (while commenting on Alice Munro’s style) says: “Finally, the passage contradicts a form of bad advice often given young writers–namely, that the job of the author is to show, not tell. Needless to say, many great novelists combine ‘dramatic’ showing with long sections of the flat-out authorial narration that, I guess, what is meant by telling (25).”

That ‘show, don’t tell’ is bad advice, I am sure. In the first place it hinders the writer’s spontaneous production. In the second place, it intrudes in the writer’s freedom to make aesthetic choices. Francine Prose goes on to say: “There are many occasions in literature in which telling is far more effective that showing.” I agree. The greatest novels do not show–they tell. One of the greatest novel of the Nineteenth Century, Tolstoy’s War and Peace, is vastly told. One Hundred Years of Solitude–perhaps one of the great novels of the Twentieth Century is told, almost in its entirety.

Novelists are ‘story tellers’–not actors, declaimers, performers, or playwrights. Anton Chekhov once said: “Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.” This catchy admonition has been taken by many critics as unswerving authority that reinforces the ‘show, don’t tell’ fad.

But it isn’t difficult to see that Chekhov meant that the writer in the descriptive parts of his telling should use sensory images. To write ‘the moon is shining’ is not only lazy writing but inartistic writing. It isn’t that Chekhov is arguing for dramatization, nor a visible performance, or much less heated dialogue. Not at all. Chekhov is arguing for the use of vivid imagery that can paint a picture in the reader’s mind.

If drama is needed for a particular scene, writers must choose their when to do it and in what proportion; if an item, a subject, or an object needs to be isolated or magnified, then the writer will feel the need for focusing on that particular thing. But to apply the “show don’t tell” command as if it was make up that would enhance the features of the narrative is downright insane.

The autonomy of the writer is imperiled when trends, fads, and the cliche ‘show, don’t tell’ dictate how to write.

In an attempt to learn the true reasoning behind animal hoarding, which has been an issue amongst some animal owners for a great many years, veterinarians and animal rights activists have taken their research to a new and heightened level. What has been discovered lives in the realm of the human psyche, and medical definitions for this type of disorder are likened to forms of dementia, obsessive compulsive disorder, and disillusionment. When animal hoarding as a psychological disorder is brought to the court room, it is much more difficult to actually hold an individual responsible for the neglect and cruelty often discovered in such cases. The health and welfare of humans still far outweighs that of any animal species, and as such will leave the suffering of hoarded animals without justice.

Animal hoarding is very different from the blatant abuse or neglect of an animal, as the person involved is genuinely and deeply attached to the many animals that they collect. This usually results in an absolutely filthy and unsanitary home environment for everyone involved, including the person who suffers this disorder. Most hoarded animals are never trained, bathed, or allowed outdoors, and those who are outdoors will be confined to extremely small places. As the disorder and the animal population grow more cumbersome, most hoarded animals will fall ill due to malnourishment. There is seldom enough water or food, or enough energy from the owner, to take care of everyone. The smaller and weaker animals will fall most quickly to animal hoarding, as the home environment becomes a matter of survival of the fittest.

Animal hoarding can be an ugly and disheartening discovery once investigation and capture of the pack is made. In one horrible case, 376 cats were removed from a two bedroom house, 87 of them dead. The emotional attachment and compulsion to keep these creatures lasts far beyond their death, and the owner will need to undergo an immense amount of therapy in order to recover.

There are funded and private programs which will help those diagnosed with animal hoarding to face their illness, reduce the number of pets that they own, and financially help them to care for and properly feed the animals that they are allowed to keep. In extreme cases of animal hoarding, however, such as the one discussed above, the offending party is ordered to care for no pets until an improvement in the mental condition has been accomplished. As with all disorders, relapses and uphill battles are eminent, so all pet transactions must be taken heavily and with great forethought. For the health and safety of both people and animals, local animal welfare workers will be sent to investigate any possibility of such troubles when called.
