Piercing gets under your skin - Pocketing

We’ve posted many photos of unusual piercings on getwonder.com , but I think these are the most painful of them all. Just imagine somebody pushing some pieces of metal under your skin until they fit into place. Sure being unique isn’t easy, but this is too much…at least for me.
Gone are the quaint days when bikies, pirates, crims and sailors were the only people with tattoos. Everybody has one now. Hell, even I do. All the crap about how a tattoo makes you different from the rest is, well, crap. So what’s an idiot with 500 bucks in their pocket got to do to be original these days? The answer is pocketing and it’s bloody filthy.
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IMAGES MAY BE A TAD DISTURBING

Danger in China - The Guoliang Tunnel

This tunnel is located in the Taihang Mountains which are situated in the Hunan Province of China. There is an interesting story behind its development. Before 1972, access to the nearby Guoliang village was limited to a very difficult path carved into the mountainside. The village was nestled in a valley surrounded by towering mountains. It was basically cut off from civilization. 1972, a group of desperate villagers decided to take matters into their own hands - they would carve a road right into the side of the mountain by themselves!Shen Mingxin was the head of the village. He insisted that the villagers needed to embrace this project. So they sold goats and herbs to buy hammers and steel tools. Thirteen strong villagers began the project. It took them five years to finish the 1,200-metre-long tunnel (a little less than a mile) which is about 5 meters high (15 ft) and 4 meters (12 ft) wide. Not only was the project arduous, it was also dangerous. Some of the villagers died in accidents during construction. Undaunted, the others continued. On May 1, 1977, the tunnel was opened to traffic.

There are more than thirty windows. One article suggested they carved windows mainly as a way to push the rubble out. In the picture above on the right you can see a rubble pile. Another reason for the windows might have been the need for light due to lack of electricity! After all, this was a remote village cut off from the world.

Believe it or not, this story has a very happy ending. The villagers incredible gamble paid off in a big way. At the turn of the century, China began to open its borders to the rest of the world. It was decided the benefits of tourism outweighed the disruption of having outsiders tromping around the country. So government officials visited this area and decided it was a perfect tourist attraction. Suddenly the little village that had been cut off from the world had thousands of visitors from every part of the world! Here is a writeup from a Chinese Tourism Website: Turning to the north, we came to Taihang Mountains in Huixian County. The local government has explored several scenic spots to develop tourism, among which the most attractive were Guoliang Cave with its red mountains (exposed red shale). Local villagers cut a tunnel road through the mountain and named it Guoliang Cave. Before the construction of the tunnel, Guoliang Village was almost cut off from its surrounding towns and villages. A dangerous ladder on the side of a precipitous cliff was the only route in and out of the village. Today the situation has totally changed. Guoliang Village has become a pearl of Taihang Mountains because of its unique scenery and stone buildings.

Mind you, this work was done by 13 untrained villagers who had to trade practically every animal they owned to buy modern tools. They had no idea how their gamble would pay off. For five years, they labored. Nor could they tend to their farms very much while they worked. In poker terms, this is called "Going All In." They literally bet the farm on this project! I doubt seriously that Hollywood has ever heard of this place, but I can imagine the story would make for a very interesting movie.

You have to hand it to the villagers. The moment they opened their tunnel to vehicles, they quickly came up with a great marketing slogan:
- The Road that does not tolerate any mistakes
At a glance, this road doesn't look anywhere near as dangerous as that monster in Bolivia, but on the other hand, you might notice that open stretch in the side of the mountain. Maybe there is some danger!
Plus with a road only 12 feet wide, I can't imagine two-way traffic either.

I certainly hope they keep a close watch on traffic. Otherwise those tourists in the picture on the left would be toast. It isn't like they have any place to hide from an oncoming car. I guess they would have to throw themselves against the side of the rock. Or maybe they could take their chances and jump off the side.
What do you think? Good idea?

Here is a writeup I found on the Internet:
"We chose to go through the tunnel. Sitting by the elderly driver I heard the story about how the tunnel was created. Before 1972, the path chiseled into the rock used to be the only access linking the village with the outside world. Then the villagers decided to dig a tunnel through the rocky cliff. When I was mulling over what the tunnel looked like, the van started a very steep ascent. I looked up and could not move my eyes away - it was so beautiful! All of us were excited by the vision.
We found ourselves in extremely gorgeous surroundings - against the blue sky, with a path frighteningly narrow, and the cliffs piercing the sky. All of my fellow "donkeys" stopped talking; some were busy taking photos, some were just dumbfounded. The golden sun shone upon the ground and through the air vents in the rocky wall of the tunnel. We were sometimes in the dark and sometimes in the light. I was deeply moved and even wanted to cry, for the sacred Guoliang Tunnel and for what the villagers have done - to triumph over nature. In about an hour, the small van slowly took us to the unsophisticated village surrounded by the towering mountains.
The village, more than 1,200 meters above the sea level, seemed as if it had retreated from the world. The story of Shangri-La crossed my mind. Everything there was made of stone: the village gate, roads, bridges, houses, tables, stools, bowls and chop sticks. It is said the village originated from Guo Liang, a peasant army leader who used to fight there in the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24). There are currently about 83 households in the village with 329 people."

Here is another look at that open stretch I pointed out earlier. Maybe that slogan about not tolerating any mistakes refers to this part of the road!
Take a look at the rubble below at the bottom of the canyon. This leads me to speculate that this picture was taken during the construction of the tunnel. I also think a reason the area was barren because it was winter time. Obviously the tree in the picture doesn't have any leaves.

In this picture, you can make out two vehicles driving on that open stretch.
Too cool.
This picture was likely taken long after the construction was over. Notice how much vegetation there is compared to the picture above of the same spot which is totally barren. I believe this picture lends support to my guess that the barren pictures were taken during construction.

Guoliang Tunnel is different from other road tunnels; it is quiet, secluded and mysterious, bright one minute and dim the next, full of twists and turns.The wall of the tunnel is uneven and there are more than 30 "windows" of different sizes and shapes. Some windows are round and some are square, and they range from dozens of meters long to standard-window-size.It is frightening to look down from the windows, where strange rocks hanging form the sheer cliff above and a seemingly bottomless pit lying below. Walking through the twisted tunnel is like walking through a labyrinth as the window light mingles with the shadows inside the tunnel. And the stroll can be unsettling - you never know when the the sound of a motor might come from behind, sending tourists scrambling desperately in search of a safe place.

Beautiful Mountains in the Philippines

Beautiful Mountains in the Philippines
Waw,it is really Beautiful Mountains, don’t? En, as beautiful as Terrace in China
I have to hand it to these workers, they’ve certainly made lemonade with the lemons nature gave them. It’s definitely not easy to practice agriculture in this kind of environment, but they pulled it off in the Philippines and they did it by using their hands and tools, no kind of fancy machinery.
And I have to say that besides the purpose they serve, these mountains really look amazing!

How to Hiding your weaknesses in a CV

Make sure that you have common weaknesses or, even better, turn your weaknesses into strengths.
Switch something from a weakness to strength.
Highlight other skills that make up for the weakness
For example:
If you never went to university, you need to emphasize your job experience.
If you are new to the field of work, try to show your qualifications and related hobbies
If you have worked for small companies, you could, for example, try to highlight the benefits of having to solve a lot of problems on your own with tight budgets
Have a friend or yourself look at weaknesses in your career through your CV. Which points would potential employers be likely to question you about?
Once you prepare answers to common questions you're able to start tackling the more difficult parts of your interview and tune your CV accordingly.

Here We Go:Post-Retirement Job Hunting

Does age discrimination exist? Not legally.
The federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act, passed in 1967 states, "It shall be unlawful for an employer to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual or otherwise discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions or privileges of employment, because of such individual's age."
There can be a gap between legality and reality, however.
During 2006, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission received 16,548 charges of age discrimination. Also, consider that the average job search was 16 weeks for people under 55 years old, but 22 weeks for those older than 55. And Texas A&M economics professor Joanna Lahey found that companies were more than 40% likely to interview a younger job seeker rather than an older job seeker.
Some employers feel that older workers are more set in their ways and not as technologically savvy as younger workers. Others believe that older workers have less energy and more health problems, will require higher salaries, and won't work as hard or as long as younger workers.
Most experts, however, are upbeat about the future of mature workers. With baby boomers (more than 76 million) retiring from primary careers, and fewer younger workers (48 million Gen Xers) to replace them, labor shortages will force companies to retain, retrain (if necessary) and value the older employee.
For many employers, the bottom line will be whether an employee meets their company's needs, but the experience, dedication, confidence, work ethic and maturity of older workers will become valuable commodities in the job market.
Where The Jobs Are
Manpower recently surveyed 2,400 companies in the U.S., asking them if they were having difficulty filling positions, and if so, which job they were having the most difficulty filling. So, if you're thinking about continuing to work after leaving a primary career, here's a specific listing (in order of need) of where the jobs were in 2007 in the U.S.:
Sales representatives Teachers Mechanics Technicians Management Truck drivers Drivers/delivery personnel Accountants Laborers Machine Operators
Other areas of high demand? The outlook for executives, bankruptcy lawyers, the leisure and hospitality industry, and health care are all hot, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Manpower and executive search consultants.
Discovering Your Destiny
Consider what's important to you. Is the amount of money crucial, or is flexibility, novelty, helping others or using your strengths a high priority? Will you need additional formal education? Are you willing to make trade-offs?
Let friends, former colleagues, members of your groups or professional associations and acquaintances know you are looking for work--and what type of work you desire (about 35% of people are hired through networking). Don't forget your local community college when investigating careers that require formal training. Most community colleges offer a number of certifications as well as two-year degrees in booming fields, and work with industry leaders to develop curricula.
Volunteer in an area that interests you or work at a temporary staffing service to "try out" different work paths. (Adecco, www.adecco.com, is one such company.) Not only will you find out if you're interested in the field, but you'll be ready and willing to work if the company decides to hire.
Use newspapers or online search engines such as Monster.com and HotJobs.com. You can also go online to sites geared toward workers 50 and older, such as Seniors4Hire (www.seniors4hire.org) or the Senior Job Bank (www.seniorjobbank.org).
If a "play-check" rather than a paycheck is what you're after, Brian Tracy, author, consultant and motivational speaker, suggests you ask yourself four questions when deciding what type of employment you'd like to pursue. They'll help you clarify what it is you're passionate about:
What do I most enjoy doing? How would I describe my ideal job? If I could have any job at all, anywhere, what would it be? If I won a million dollars in the lottery and I had to pick something to work at indefinitely, what would I choose to do with my time?
R¨¦sum¨¦ Writing And Interviewing
Are you older than 45? By 2010, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that about one-third of the labor force will consist of "mature" workers (defined as over 45). If you are planning on returning to work during your retirement years, you may have to update (or dust off) your r¨¦sum¨¦.
Emphasize your accomplishments, results and outstanding qualifications in a succinct paragraph at the top of your r¨¦sum¨¦. Include any computer expertise, course work or professional development to accentuate your openness to learning, as well as your e-mail address. In your cover letter, emphasize that you are a proven entity (don't say you've worked for 30 years), and that you are flexible, adaptable and willing to learn, and that you have transferable skills.
Don't feel obligated to list every job you've ever had; concentrate on those positions that are pertinent to the employment you are seeking. If you're looking to change careers, or if you're re-entering the workforce after a hiatus, concentrate on the transferable skills applicable to the new position, and downplay job titles if necessary.
When e-mailing a r¨¦sum¨¦, don't send it as an attachment in case it can't (or won't) be opened, and e-mail a copy to yourself prior to sending it to a potential employer to make sure it looks like you want it to look.
There is some disagreement as to what type of r¨¦sum¨¦ older workers should use. A functional r¨¦sum¨¦ highlights accomplishments and talents and downplays when the work was done. But many employers and recruiters know this type of r¨¦sum¨¦ can be hiding work gaps and age, and dislike them. Chronological r¨¦sum¨¦s are the preferred choice among most of those in hiring positions, but they can be a disadvantage if your latest experience doesn't match the new position, or if age matters. Combining both types into a "chrono-functional" r¨¦sum¨¦ could be the best bet.
Once your foot is in the door and you have an interview, again emphasize your flexibility, motivation, interpersonal skills and willingness to learn. Let the interviewer(s) know you want to contribute to the company and that you're not looking for a job because you're broke or bored.
Use your age to your advantage. Stress your experience with problem solving, your proven track record and strong work ethic. If you're happy to work part time, let the prospective employer know that you are a bargain. You have tons of experience, but you don't have to be paid what they might pay a younger, full-time employee. Slip in (assuming it's true) how you're playing tennis or love to downhill ski, hike or swim, to convey that you are a vital and energetic person.
Address any questions (insidious or obvious) about your age forthrightly by reassuring the interviewer you can handle the job as well as bring experience, enthusiasm and wisdom to the position.
Dress up, smile, be enthusiastic make eye contact and have a firm handshake. Be sure you're knowledgeable about the company, and follow up with a thank-you note.
Happy job hunting!

Why Structured Networking Works

Networking is a key part of a successful job search. It's also a hard skill to master. So job seekers often wonder "Where do I start?"
Structured networking groups may be the answer. With the help of facilitators, employed peers and career coaches, these organizations offer opportunities for members to connect and share job leads.
Plus, they help members learn to network skillfully and confidently.
A Little Structure Goes a Long Way
Networking requires that you step outside your comfort zone -- and act confidently there.
The appeal of structured networking groups is just that, structure. Meeting new people and building relationships are easier in a formal program.
Structured networking groups teach networking techniques in a safe, non-threatening forum. After you've practiced and honed your skills, you're then able to network without fear or anxiety.
The Elevator Pitch and Other Techniques
The format of structured networking events varies. Usually a structured networking group offers both informal gatherings as well as programs run by career coaches or facilitators.
One common program teaches job seekers to create an "elevator pitch." An elevator pitch is a short summary of your background and skills. It should be concise, confident and brief enough that you could share it with someone during an elevator ride.
As new members develop their pitches, coaches and more seasoned members of the group will give feedback and offer suggestions.
Structured networking groups also usually offer lectures and sessions to provide support. And members are expected to help one another by sharing contacts whenever possible.
1-2-3 Contacts?
The goal of structured networking is to gain useful professional contacts. However, don't expect to attend a few events and go home with an address book full of job leads.
New members must be patient.
Organizations stress that strong relationships form over time. Each individual has to earn the respect and trust of the other members before asking them for contacts or referrals.
The Price You'll Pay
Many structured networking organizations charge membership fees or fees to attend specific events. Some groups offer discounts to individuals depending on their financial situation.
Groups are usually categorized by profession, income or geography. You'll have to do some research to find the group that's right for you.
If you feel uncomfortable about paying for a group's services, trust your instincts. Before you pay to join a group or attend events, check the Better Business Bureau: http://www.bbb.org
If you don't want to pay to join an organization, or can't afford to, consider starting your own networking group.
