How to Become a Wireline Logging Engineer: Part 2
The journey to become a professional wireline logging engineer starts when an organization hires you as a new field engineer in training. As I mentioned before, the logging engineer profession is challenging mentally, emotionally, and physically and it is not for everyone. Some candidates become interested in the profession simply because of the high earning potential without fully understanding what the job entails. Although the reward is attractive, the demands are equally challenging and require people of certain attitudes to survive the physical, emotional, and mental rigor the job demands. For this reason, most wireline services organizations have designed a pre-school program as the starting point for a new hire. The pre-school program exposes the new engineer to what the job entails and allows him or her to decide if the job and the schedule fit his or her life style.
The pre-school period allows the new employee to have some exposure to the work environment before committing to join the organization. At this time, the new hire signs a temporary contract with the organization which allows him or her go through the pre-school program without committing to full employment with the organization. The pre-school period usually lasts for one to three months. During this period the potential employee spends time in a field location working with full time logging engineers and crew on rig site mostly as an observer. The new hire is usually assigned a training program and a mentor. The mentor is a senior field engineer who will help the new hire go through the pre-school program and evaluate his or her readiness to go to basic logging engineers' training school.
During the pre-school, the new hire must accomplished several key tasks required of a field engineer. This period is especially challenging for a new hire because he or she is exposed to many different new tasks all of which he or she must master in relatively short time. The pre-school period is also stressful because the new trainee engineer is the favorite for all full fledge field engineer to assign their various extra duties. The pre-school period is designed to test the physical, mental, and emotional strength of the trainee engineer to the limit while helping him or her to learn the rudimentary of the logging engineer profession. Most new hire will pretty much make up his or her mind whether this is the right job or not before the end of the pre-school period.
After completing the pre-school successfully, a new hire can decide to accept the offer of a full employment with the organization. The new hire is then ready to continue the next stage in the training program which is attending the basic school for logging engineers. The basic school lasts for about 12 to 15 weeks depending on the organization. The basic school will be discussed in part 3 of this article.…
Fashion Tips to Slim Your Figure
Did you make a New Year's resolution to lose a few extra pounds? Have you already fallen off the diet bandwagon? Most people that vow to lose the weight have trouble getting those last few pounds off. If this sounds like you, there are ways that you can dress and accessorize your look so that you look pounds slimmer. Here are some easy fashion tips for women to slim your figure.
Find the right bra: This may sound silly, but many women do not know how to find the right fitting bra. No matter what your cup size is, if you have a good fitting bra, you can do a lot for your look. A good fitting bra will lift you up, hold you in the right places and make your clothes fit better. If your current bra has straps that constantly fall off your shoulders, or rides up in the back, then is too big. If your breasts spill out of the cup, then it is too small. There are bras made for every figure and cup size. If you are unsure how to go about finding the right bra, go to a nice department store and ask a sales person to help fit you. These sales people are trained to help women find just the right sized lingerie.
Do not wear baggy clothing: When you weigh more than you want, you may feel tempted to wear loose fitting and baggy clothing. You may think you are covering up your bumps and rolls, but instead what you are doing is adding pounds to your look. Baggy clothes immediately add about ten pounds to your appearance. Instead, find clothes that fit you better. Clothes that are more streamlined and fit closer to your body will give you a slimmer appearance. On the other hand, make sure that your clothes do not fit too tight. Clothes that fit too tight (think jeans that fit like leggings) will show everything you don't want people to see. When you shop for clothes, try them on at the store and look carefully in the three-way mirror before you make a purchase.
Go for dark clothing: In general, clothes that are darker in color will make you look slimmer. Look for clothes that are brown, black, navy and gray. You do not have to dress all in black everyday, though. Consider wearing the darker color on your problem area and brighter colors where you want to show off. For example, if you are carrying extra weight around your hips, go for a dark skirt or pants and accentuate your neckline with a brighter color.
Use accessories to your advantage: The right accessories can slim your look and draw a person's attention to your face. If you are trying to hide your middle, then do not wear a bright, chunky belt. Instead, opt for a really nice beaded necklace that draws people's eyes to your face instead of your middle. Show off what you have with nice accessories for a slimmer look.
Wear short skirts: You could get lost in long skirts. The trend is shorter skirts, so why not give them a try? Try a skirt that hits around your knee. You are showing off your legs. Pair that shorter skirt with a great pair of shoes and you have an instant slimmed effect.
Look at what is popular: Go to your local department store and look at is popular. When you are trying to lose the weight, you might feel like you do not want to try new fashions, but that might be the way to go. When you have a few great pieces that are in style, you can be sure that people are looking at your clothes, not your extra inches.…
Looking for a Copier Engineer…..Job Opportunity for Someone Who is Looking to Make 100k…in San Diego
Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite
Installation only takes less then 20 minutes. Constant updates take place via the Internet, so your computer is always up-to-date when it comes to protection.
To be on the safe side, the software is set to a higher security setting so expect to see more pop-ups as you open different programs immediately after installation.
This gives you a great opportunity to track any unauthorised data transmissions via trojans or malware. You can choose to deny or allow any communication attempts and once you have verified them, you can proceed to do a full sweep of the computer.
It may be annoying to see many pop-up notifications in the beginning, but once you have set the settings, everything runs in the background. Settings for firewall and anti-virus are pre-configured so users do not have to worry about setting it.
If there is an intrusion on the firewall or a malware detected, a notification will prompt you about it. The surprising thing is the software is not embedded in the browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox, to warn you when you visit dubious website. Other security suites like Norton grade the authenticity of all the websites, in case users are misled into visiting a falsely created site.
With phishing sites that try to extract information from your computer, a notification bar on your browser is handy for warning your whether a site is legitimate or not. When I tried accessing a website frequented by hackers, Zone Alarm did not inform me about it but Norton and McAfee did. So if you use your computer primarily for surfing, Zone Alarm may not be what you are looking for.
What worked well though are the parental controls. One can chooose to limit user access to sites which have pornography, drugs, or online games. There are also interesting block options such as the occult, weapons and military, to name a few. So if you set controls to limit "illegal drugs", a search for ecstasy will allow you to read online news about the drug but not visit websites dedicated to the drug itself.
Conclusion, Zone Alarm is easy to use and handles most of the work. However, the omission of any Internet surfing security features is glaring.…
Canadian Fashion Models
If you go to Google and search "Canadian models", you will discover a quite long list of names. Canada may not be on the first place among countries with a leading fashion industry like France, Italy, England or USA, but there are many talented fashion models from Canada, who brought a major contribution to Canadian and international fashion. Here are three of them.
Heather Marks
Heather Marks is one of the most prominent fashion models in Canada today. She was born in 1988 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and she started her modeling career at age 12. As a teenager, she already was 178 cm tall, and she was discovered by the owner of Mode Models agency.
At age 15 Heather Marks came to Toronto and began booking jobs in New York, including her first editorial for Vogue Italy. Also, she modeled for the Givenchy Spring 2003 Spring 2003 couture show. In the Spring/Summer 2004 fashion season, she modeled for designers and fashion houses like Burberry, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Lanvin, Louis Vuitton, Mark Jacobs, MaxMara, Rochas, Versace, and others.
Since then, she has modeled in shows and advertisement campaigns for a long list of reputed designers including Calvin Klein, Emporio Armani, Moschino, Kenzo, Jimmy Choo, Lacoste, Christian Lacroix, Roberto Cavalli, Badgley Mischka, H&M, Converse, Victoria's Secret, American Eagle, Benneton, Cacharel, GAP, Holt Renfrew, Lee Jeans, Levi's, Mango, Swarovski, Revlon, MAC, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and other designers and fashion brands.
Heather Marks is a frequent appearance on fashion magazine covers – she could be seen on Vogue cover (editions from Germany, Korea, Mexico, Spain), on Elle cover (editions from Canada and Croatia), Harper's Bazaar. As to Canadian fashion magazines, I saw her on the cover of Flare magazine.
Irina Lazareanu
Irina Lazareanu was born in 1982 in Romania and moved to Canada with her parents at age 5. Her family settled in Montreal area. She started her modeling career at age 17, and since then she became a very popular fashion model.
Some of her modeling assignments included jobs for top designers like Chanel, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Anna Sui, Lanvin, Versace, and many more. I subscribe to Canadian fashion magazine Flare, and I saw her featured not only in the magazine, but also on its cover.
Linda Evangelista
Linda Evangelista was born in 1965 in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Even though she is not from today's generation of models, she is still actively present in the fashion industry. Until recently, I didn't even know that she is from Canada, as I always thought she was American. But there she is, born in Canada.
She knew she wanted to be a model since she was 12. One of those international supermodels who would be placed on the same page as Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista has been featured on over 600 fashion magazine covers throughout her modeling years, and had countless modeling assignments. The biggest influence she brought upon fashion was during the eighties and early nineties, at the peak of her modeling career. In 2007 she signed a multi-year exclusive contract with L'Oréal Paris.

Is test and tag a profitable business?
We’ve all seen the commercials and ads for test and tag businesses.
In this blog post, we’ll explore whether or not these companies are a viable option for business owners.
First, let’s look at what these types of companies do: they’re in charge of testing homes’ plumbing systems to ensure that there is no leakage from pipes or fixtures.
Next, we’ll examine the pros and cons of starting a test and tag company so you can determine if it would be a good fit for your own personal goals.
Finally, we will discuss how much money you could expect to make with this type of company once it has been up-and-running for five years based on different factors such as location, number of employees, etc.
In Australia, when we talk about the testing and tagging industry, we could be talking about a $100 million business or one that earns around $5 million to $10 million – depending on who you ask.
It’s difficult to define exactly how much revenue is brought in by companies involved with this sector because there could be many not-for-profit organizations running testing and tagging programs for schools, sporting clubs, and other groups barely turning over any profit.
However, there are certainly plenty of commercial operators making a tidy sum from their businesses.
For example, Brisbane-based company Toxguard runs tagging programs for thousands of children each week and has various outlets spread throughout the country.
This type of business is also supported by businesses such as Service First, which supplies equipment to firms in this sector, including cash registers and point of sale systems.
Mark Hewitt is one individual who has worked hard to carve out his own business in test and tag.
His company’s official name is National Electrical Safety (NES) Services, but he recognizes that these sorts of companies need an edge over their competition to ensure they can survive.
Mark tells us more about how he set up the business below:
“When I first started my electrical tester training course I had no idea there were so many opportunities out there for people with the right skills.
I had always worked in construction so I never really considered being a tester or testing company as an option, but now I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
“I was able to use my electrical skills along with my qualifications to get my business off the ground.
Once you know what the industry is about and how it works, then opportunities will start to become apparent through your own research into the specific test and tag companies.
Being a sole trader didn’t seem appealing at first because of the lack of security.
But when you find something you love doing it’s all worthwhile.”
“My advice to anyone thinking about setting up a test and tag business would be not to rush into things too quickly, if you decide to start a test and tag business in Australia, call your service something like “Testing and Tagging Melbourne“.
No matter what your market segment maybe, the whole idea of electrical safety compliance is pretty simple: make sure equipment used by others has been safely tested and indicate that it meets Australian Standards.
In manufacturing, there are two types of testing, Factory Mutual (FM) and Heavy Industries Science And Technology Association (HISTA).
With FM you are required to test or check that all installations comply with Australian Standards at least once every six months.
Has varied depending on the type of equipment being used in your business – whether it’s power tools, forklifts, or other plant equipment.
The main advantage of hiring an electrical tester is that you don’t have to buy your own test and tag equipment.
However, if you do decide to set up your own business as a testing company then there are various forms of equipment needed such as lockout gear, plug testers, and earth fault loop impedance testers.
You can get all the necessary equipment from Service First Electrical.
Mark Hewitt says it’s important to stay close with customers so they know exactly where their maintenance funds are being spent.
This also provides the opportunity for businesses to create good relationships with clients so they can be given higher priority in any emergency situation.
“It’s really important to keep your finger on the pulse when it comes to industry trends because this way you will always be the first to hear about market opportunities.
For example, if you’re in the area of power tools then it would be wise to know what other types of equipment companies are using.”
“All information is good info when it comes to this business, so I’m always on the lookout for new opportunities.
If there’s one thing that I’ve learned it’s you shouldn’t try and tackle all your problems by yourself.
Sooner or later these things will come back and bite you if not resolved properly.”
“You’ve got to stay ahead of the game even though the basic idea might seem simple enough.”…
What Car Should I Buy: A Beginner Guide!

Zipper Fashion Rosettes
Supplies:
Metal zipper
Fabric scrap
Scissors
Hot glue
White glue
You might have been saving zippers to sew into other garments, if those zippers go bad, but sewing zippers into clothing isn’t the only way to reuse them. Cut zippers up and use them in an unusual way to make embellishments for fashions and home decorating projects, rosettes for crafting, and other fanciful items. If you already have zippers, you won’t pay a penny for the rosettes, which can be used in many different ways.
Unzip a zipper and cut it, straight across, to remove the zipper pull, and to separate the two sides of the zipper. Since each piece has fabric stitched to it, it’s necessary to remove the cloth. Cut the stitches to remove the biggest part of it; use a lighter to burn off the rest. Remember to hold the zipper with a potholder because the zipper will get hot as you burn the fabric off.
When all of the cloth is off of the zipper it’s the easiest thing to turn it into a rosette. Simply lay it flat on a table and begin winding it around itself. Hold one end down, and wrap the other end around and around the stationary end. You’ll make a flat circle of zipper teeth, which is metallic and lovely. If you want the rosette to be larger than it is when you finish wrapping, use a dot of hot glue to hold the end in place, and start wrapping another zipper-half around it.
The rosette you make is a flat one but you can give it dimension by making another one on top of it. The top rosette should be a bit smaller than the bottom one. Add another rosette, and another, to create the depth that you want; make each rosette smaller than the previous one.
The zipper rosette will be easiest to attach if you glue a piece of cloth or felt to the bottom of it. Glue the finished flower to a purse, a garment, a lampshade, a mirror or picture frame corner, or even a hat. Attach it to a piece of fabric to make a curtain tie-back, or make a large zipper rosette, and turn it into a coaster.
Don’t like the metallic color of the rosette? Paint it! You can easily spray paint the zipper before you start, or paint the rosette when you’re finished. That gives you many options for coordinating colors on your fashions, or for your home decorating.
