So that it doesn't go down so often..

Looking back at my career, I’m always thankful that my parents pushing me to get an internship in high school. That single experience has a lot to do with how I got to where I am today. Back in 2001, all of my friends decided to do one last summer as camp counselors before they graduated high school. Instead of following in the same path, I had a job at a local internet service provider making cold calls. Although I never landed any new business, what it taught me was that you have to work hard, if you don’t love what you’re selling you won’t close any business and that I wanted to focus on marketing in college and avoid sales at all costs. That single internship experience ended up helping me getting into the college of my choice and enabled me to get future internships because I already had a track record. Back then, I wouldn’t have guessed what that single internship would do for me over ten years in the future.



Today, we see that unemployment is high, especially for recent college graduates, who also suffer from one trillion in student loan debt. The economy has forced us all to rethink career management . No longer can you wait until your junior year of college, like most career centers recommend, in order to get an internship and pray that it will magically turn into a job. You have to start focusing on your career earlier in life in order to be able to become much more competitive throughout the course of your entire life. Those that wait will face the menacing realities of the job market, where if you aren’t a proven entity, you will get passed over. “For students, work experience is the key to ensure they make a good career decision and build their professional network,” says Robin D. Richards, the CEO of Internships.com.

In a new study called “High School Careers“, by my company and Internships.com, we surveyed 4,769 students, which includes 172 high school students and 4,597 college students. 90% of companies agree that high school internship programs can help students get into better colleges, 89% say they’ll have a competitive advantage when looking for a college internship or full-time job, and 83% said those internships will yield better paying jobs. ” The sooner that students can leverage employment opportunities related to their field of study, the more likely they will be to complete their degree and find a relevant career opportunity post graduation,” says Brad McMahon, the SVP of Business and Product Development at +U, an Internships.com partner.

Imaging you’re in college admissions and you see the same old applications day in and day out. Students who have a good GPA, interesting essays and good SAT scores are now a dime a dozen. A college recruiter that sees an internship on an application will be impressed that that student is already career focused, that they took the initiative and are already heading into their freshman year with a solid foundation. Now think of college recruiters who see similar resumes every single day. If they run across a resume with internships dating back to high school, that applicant is going to stand out and have a better chance of getting the job. Furthermore, getting that high school internship, will make it easier to get future internships and jobs, which will set them on a path to long term success.

I urge parents to help their children get on the right bath because then they won’t complain that their son or daughter had to move back home after graduation without a job. I urge students to take initiative because competing in this market isn’t going to get easier. You have to start earlier, work harder and constantly leverage each work opportunity to secure future employment.

WellPoint Offers Seniors Tips for Bouncing Back from Hospitalization

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb 10, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Imagine you’ve been in the hospital. You’ve eagerly waited for the day you could go home. When that day finally arrives, you’re thrilled. It’s a safe bet the last thing you want to do is to have to return to the hospital.
Unfortunately, far too many people are returning to the hospital after receiving care there, particularly seniors. According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, nearly one-fifth (19.6 percent) of traditional Medicare beneficiaries who had been discharged from a hospital were re-hospitalized within 30 days, and 34 percent were re-hospitalized within 90 days.1 The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission has estimated the cost of hospital readmissions at $15 billion.
“We know that many of these instances are unavoidable,” said Dr. Mary McCluskey, chief medical officer of WellPoint’s Government Business Division. “However, some are preventable, which is unfortunate since hospital stays can expose patients to a host of complications, including possible infections, as well as being costly, stressful and inconvenient.”
WellPoint, which serves thousands of seniors through its affiliated Medicare plans, offers the following tips for making sure a hospital stay doesn’t end up turning into a round-trip.

Understand discharge directions. The transition home really starts before the patient leaves the hospital. It is critical to understand hospital discharge directions. This isn’t as easy as it sounds since patients may be medicated, stressed, groggy or confused. For that reason, it is recommended that patients repeat instructions to their physicians to make sure they understand them. It also may help to write down the instructions or enlist a family member or caregiver to help document them. Another way for a patient to smooth the transition home is to make sure someone at the hospital contacts their primary care physician (PCP) with information about their condition and treatment. People with chronic conditions see many different doctors. It is important for those doctors to communicate with each other.

Fill prescriptions and take them as prescribed. Upon being discharged from the hospital, it is important to fill prescriptions immediately and take them as prescribed. Patients should make sure to understand the timing, dosage and frequency of each drug. Also, patients should take care to understand how existing medicines, including over-the-counter drugs, interact with new drugs. Finally, if any drugs have been stopped, it’s important to ask why. It may be helpful to get a pill organizer to keep track of medicines.

Get follow-up care. According to America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), half of patients who were re-hospitalized within 30 days did not have a physician visit between the time of discharge and re-hospitalization, suggesting one of the reasons people end up back in the hospital is lack of follow-up care. That is why it’s so critical for people to transition from the hospital to their PCP. Patients should schedule follow-up appointments with their regular doctor and keep them. The PCP can coordinate care, making sure patients aren’t exposed to dangerous drug interactions or unnecessary tests. Anyone with trouble getting a timely appointment can call their insurer for help.

Eat properly. People recently discharged from the hospital need to get proper nutrition, including following any dietary restrictions. Appetite is often suppressed after an illness; however, if someone is too sick to eat due to pain, nausea, inability to swallow, etc., then they should contact their doctor.

Take advantage of programs that are there to help. People with Medicare Advantage plans may have access to resources, including case managers, to help them return safely to their homes. Case managers may be able to help a recently discharged patient find transportation to doctor appointments, address potential safety issues in the home and help them locate community programs offering everything from meal delivery to free or discounted medicines. These people are experts at understanding the system and it is their job to help.

Know when things aren’t getting better. Patients should understand which symptoms require immediate intervention and return to the hospital, if necessary. People who aren’t getting better shouldn’t wait for their next appointment.

Be an engaged consumer. Many trips to the hospital occur without warning. However, people with advance notice have resources available to help them research quality and cost. Information about readmission rates for certain hospitals, for example, is available at www.hospitalcompare.hhs.gov , where visitors can enter a procedure and a zip code, select three hospitals, and click “Outcome of Care Measures” to compare results.
“Most of us will have to go to the hospital at some point in our lives,” said McCluskey. “The key is being an engaged patient to prevent hospitalization from becoming a downward spiral, both physically and financially.”

Sublime Text 3, Build 3047
Single User License

I think there is a mistake in where the Submlime Text 3 user license is stored on Windows. This doesn't cause software failures, but has the potential to cause problems if people are synchronizing application settings between machines using something like Dropbox.

There are several user-specific folder locations for application settings on Windows. Under <user>AppData the following exist:
\local (stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%)
\localLow
\Roaming (stored in %APPDATA%)

The ST3 license key is located in a folder "local" under "Roaming": \Roaming\local instead of just \local. For example:
"C:\Users\userName\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Local"
"C:\Users\userName\AppData\Local\Sublime Text 3\Local"

The problem occurs for users that have created a symlink for their roaming folder that points to a shared location. In my case the desktop and laptop installations of ST3 keep overwriting each other's keys (License.sublime_license) in the Roaming\local directory.

I think the keys should be stored in ...\local and not ...\Roaming\local, which prevents this conflict and seems to be the correct location for machine-specific settings.

It's possible to workaround this by creating symlinks further down the directory tree:
"C:\Users\userName\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages"
"C:\Users\userName\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Installed Packages"
So that "C:\Users\userName\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Local" remains local. But it would be an improvement to move these machine-specific files to \local, for example on my machine:
C:\Users\userName\AppData\Local

The confusion might have been using the %APPDATA% variable for everything, which points to the "Roaming" directory. However, you can also use the %LOCALAPPDATA% variable which will point you to a user's "local" folder.
