photodynamic therapy is safe and free of side effects.Ā
āUnlike other treatments, it only removes damaged cells and does not affect healthy structures. Therefore, it has great potential to reduce the death rate from cervical cancer,Ā ā
This, also keep in mind that the āAmerican cowboyā has been exaggerated greatly by Hollywood and popular myth - it was really only a twenty/thirty year period in the mid-19th century that essentially ended around the American civil war when barbed wire was introduced and eliminated the need for them.

OH MY GOD whyyyy did no one tell me youāre supposed to send thank-yous after interviews?? Why would I do that???
āThank you for this incredibly stressful 30 minutes that I have had to re-structure my entire day around and which will give me anxiety poos for the next 24 hours.ā
I HATE ETIQUETTE ITāS THE MOST IMPOSSIBLE THING FOR ME TO LEARN WITHOUT SOMEONE DIRECTLY TELLING ME THIS SHIT
NO ONE TOLD YOU???? WTF! I HAVE FAILED YOU. Also: Dear ______: Thank you so much for the opportunity to sit down with you (&________) to discuss the [insert job position]. I am grateful to be considered for the position. I think I will be a great fit at [company name], especially given my experience in __________. [insert possible reference to something you talked about, something that excited you.] I look forward to hearing from you [and if you are feeling super confident: and working together in the future]. Sincerely, @mellivorinae
THIS IS A LIFESAVING TEMPLATE
YOU ARE WELCOME
My brother got a really great paid internship one summer. The guy who hired him said the deciding factor was the professional thank you letter my brother sent after the interview.
should it be an email? or like a physical letter?
email, you want to send it within a few hours at max after the interview if you can so itās fresh in their mind who you are.Ā
Confirmed! I interviewed for a job right after arriving in NY. The interview went incredibly well, and I went home and immediately wrote a thank you letter and put it in the mail. I had a super good feeling about this interview.
I didnāt get the job.
However, a few weeks later, I was called in to interview with another editor in the same company, and I did get that job. I found out later from the initial editor (the one who didnāt hire me) that he had planned to offer me the job, but since I didnāt follow up with a thank you letter, he assumed I didnāt really want it. He offered the job to another contenderābut when he got my letter in the mail shortly after the offer had already been made, he went to HR and gave me a glowing recommendation. It was based on that recommendation that I got called in for the second interview.
So: send an email thank you immediately (same day!) after the interview. If youāre feeling extra, go ahead and send a written one too. OR go immediately to a coffee shop, write the letter, and return to the office and give it to the secretary.
Either way, those letters are important.
Pro tip: If you really want HR to develop a personal interest in your application, publicly thank them on linkedin. Just make a short post telling your network about how X recruiter really went above and beyond to make you feel welcome, or about how be accommodating and professional they were, or whatever. Make sure to use the mention feature so theyāll get a notification and see it.Ā
Flattery will get you everywhereā¦ and public flattery that might make its way back to their manager, doubly so.
Obligatory plug for one of FreePrintable.netās sites: ThankYouLetter.ws. They have a whole section with interview thank you letter templates, and a page with specific tips for interview thank you letters. (There are also tons of other letter templates if you browse around a bit.)
As a former professional recruiter and recruiting manager, I confirm, especially for entry-level positions, where you are competing with oodles of people. This little thing can make a difference. Also the fact that, maybe, you took time to google the āinterview etiquetteā.
SIGNAL BOOST
The post-interview thank you notes can be a good way to recover in case you got asked a question whose answer you either didnāt know or felt was super weak. So if you follow the above given template, jump in with something likeĀ āupon further thought to your question, hereās my revised answer.āĀ
But yeah always send a thank you note after an interview. Itās a small thing but it makes a hell of a difference. And def send thank you messages to any recruiters who may have helped. And also after you get the job. Small things like that really go a long long way.
Holy shit I had no idea
A year after President Trump signed a directive slashing the size of Bears Ears National Monument by 85%, the largest rollback of federally protected land in the nationās history, Native Americans in southern Utah wonder what lies ahead. Will their grandchildren have land to call their own?
Excerpt from this LA Times article:
Last year, President Trump signed proclamations slashing the size of Bears Ears National Monument by 85% and neighboring Grand Staircase-Escalante by about half, the largest combined rollback of federally protected land in the nationās history.
With several lawsuits set to be decided early next year, the decision ā a recommendation by outgoing Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, whose short tenure included opening millions of acres of public land for drilling ā struck critics as a clear example of what they characterize as a larger attack on indigenous communities. The scaling back of Bears Ears, they say, feels especially targeted, since it was a coalition of tribes that had lobbied to have the land designated as a national monument.
In December 2016, President Obama signed a proclamation protecting 1.35 million acres of land as part of the newly created Bears Ears National Monument, named for the distinctive buttes that resemble a bear peering over the horizon.
āThe land,ā Obamaās proclamation read, āis profoundly sacred to many Native American tribes.ā
So a year later, when Trump opted to shrink the monument to about 200,000 acres, potentially opening hundreds of thousands of acres to mining operations, many tribes took it as an affront.
Of the nationās nearly 130 national monuments, Bears Ears was the first one that Native American tribes had proposed and fought for, said Natalie Landreth, an attorney representing several tribes that have filed suit to reverse Trumpās action.
āThis is the first monument Trump attacks,ā Landreth said. āThat is no coincidence ā itās a direct assault on the exercise of tribal sovereignty that resulted in the monument, and an assault on the cultures the tribes are trying so desperately to protect.ā

The Gidmitāen Clan, whose members are at the second check point, have called any RCMP raid an āact of war.ā
The RCMP are setting up exclusion zones and closed roads to the public and media as officers get set to dismantle two camps on unceded Wetāsuwetāen territory.
āDuring the police enforcement operation, temporary exclusion zones and road closures will be established for police and public safety reasons,ā said the news release sent out Monday morning that confirmed the RCMP will enforce a court order requested by a pipeline company trying to build a pipeline through Wetāsuwetāen territory.
āThose areas will be clearly marked and media/public are welcome to stand at the perimeter, but no one will be allowed to enter the exclusion zones. These zones will only be maintained as long as necessary.ā
See full statement here: What to expect during the police enforcement of court ordered injunction in Houston, BC
The raids have been highly anticipated after a B.C. judge granted an interim injunction in December against two check points leading to the construction site for the LNG Coastal GasLink pipeline.

you know, that whole thing when a colonist militaristic police force storms a indigenous encampment, removes itās people who live there, all for corporate interest, so we can pump more oil out, and accelerate the death of the planet.Ā Then once the Cops storm the place, they declare anĀ āexclusion zoneā deploy a wifi and cell blockage, AND exclude media. All so no news of it gets out. You all need to be fucking outraged.Ā We live in a police state, and the moment your life gets in the way of making money, you cease to matter.Ā
Hey Americans, you know how we Canadians all shared information about Standing Rock as it was happening?
Weāre having a very similar situation in Canada right now.
Now would be a good time to reciprocate.

Nobody on this site besides me and a few other bloggers are talking about this.Ā

If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like āYou need to eat!ā
PhotographerĀ Gabriele GalimbertiāsĀ grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures. Ā
āIn that occasion I said to my grandma āYou know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,ā Galimberti wrote via email. āIām going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you donāt have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!ā This is the way my project was born!ā
The project,Ā āDelicatessen With Loveā,Ā took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.
He acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.

Fifteen-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg addressed the U.N. plenary last night in Katowice, Poland, condemning global inacti
Transcript:
My name is Greta Thunberg. I am 15 years old, and Iām from Sweden. I speak on behalf of Climate Justice Now!
Many people say that Sweden is just a small country, and it doesnāt matter what we do. But Iāve learned that you are never too small to make a difference. And if a few children can get headlines all over the world just by not going to school, then imagine what we could all do together if we really wanted to.
But to do that, we have to speak clearly, no matter how uncomfortable that may be. You only speak of green eternal economic growth because you are too scared of being unpopular. You only talk about moving forward with the same bad ideas that got us into this mess, even when the only sensible thing to do is pull the emergency brake. You are not mature enough to tell it like it is. Even that burden you leave to us children.
But I donāt care about being popular. I care about climate justice and the living planet. Our civilization is being sacrificed for the opportunity of a very small number of people to continue making enormous amounts of money. Our biosphere is being sacrificed so that rich people in countries like mine can live in luxury. It is the sufferings of the many which pay for the luxuries of the few.
The year 2078, I will celebrate my 75th birthday. If I have children, maybe they will spend that day with me. Maybe they will ask me about you. Maybe they will ask why you didnāt do anything while there still was time to act. You say you love your children above all else, and yet you are stealing their future in front of their very eyes.
Until you start focusing on what needs to be done, rather than what is politically possible, there is no hope. We cannot solve a crisis without treating it as a crisis. We need to keep the fossil fuels in the ground, and we need to focus on equity. And if solutions within the system are so impossible to find, then maybe we should change the system itself.
We have not come here to beg world leaders to care. You have ignored us in the past, and you will ignore us again. We have run out of excuses, and we are running out of time. We have come here to let you know that change is coming, whether you like it or not. The real power belongs to the people. Thank you.
