Golf Jobs: What A Great Life! by Andy West
So you love the game of golf. The idea of spending all of your time on the greens is your idea of paradise on earth. Perhaps all of those Saturdays playing your favorite game aren’t enough anymore. For people with this deep love of the game, considering a career in the golf industry may be a perfect fit. Like any other sports industry, golf jobs run the gauntlet from caddy to CEO of major companies.
Many people, such as students and retirees, have found ways to use their passion to their benefit. Some work as caddies or grounds keepers to receive paychecks and possibly the perk benefit of reduced or free golf time. These golf jobs work well for individuals who need to have flexible schedules to fit around classes, another full time job, or to leave time to enjoy retirement. Choosing to work at the local golf course or driving range is an excellent way to combine a favorite hobby with a paycheck.
Sporting goods stores are another great place to combine the love of money with the love of golf. Especially during the holidays and peak golf times, these stores are more than happy to have knowledgeable people ready to assist their golf challenged clients. Besides the paycheck, another benefit could be employee discounts of merchandise that would otherwise be difficult or even impossible to afford. Of course on the other hand, an awesome golf job would be to own your own golf store. However, the area you live in must be suitable for a profitable establishment if you choose to own your own store. Some of the fringe benefits of this golf job are having the opportunity to choose specific products and meet a lot of other people who live, breathe, eat, and sleep golf too.
For the outgoing type of golf lover a career in sales may be the way to go. Whether you decide to go to work for your local golfing store selling directly to the public or apply with one of the larger manufacturers and distributors of golfing equipment and sell to stores, this golf job would offer the same benefits as sales positions in other industries. Competitive wages, health benefits, 401K, you know, all of that important stuff. Who knows where networking within the job may lead? Perk benefits like free golf time, free or discounted golf equipment, and possibly meeting some pros of the game are all possible. Merging your knowledge of golf with a golf job is a great method for thriving in your job and making ends meet at the same time.
Another often overlooked golf job that may be suitable, especially for the literary gifted, would be a sports writer. There are a huge number of websites geared toward sports and specifically golf on the Internet. Those great articles come from writers. If you think you have the right stuff for golf writing, contact the editor or webmaster and pitch your ideas. You never know how things like that will turn out and you may end up with a unique, golf job that fits perfectly within your schedule. While the Internet is probably the fastest means to a golf writing job, don’t forget about the more traditional magazine publications. You will just need to check out their submission guidelines in the magazine itself, on their website, or by letter to find out the editor’s name and submission preferences. Writing about your favorite sport would help keep you current on all of the latest golfing news and be a fun golf job.
Golf jobs are out there if you keep your eyes and imagination open. Whether you choose to work on the course itself or from the comfort of your home writing great golf content, it is possible to use your passion as a means of income.

07 Feb 09 | CRON Automatically Run Jobs on Your Website by John V. W. Howe
Sometimes you have repetitive jobs to run on your website. Most web servers have a function that will schedule and run jobs automatically for you. Just set up the schedule and let it run on autopilot.
CRON is a function in Unix and Linux operating systems which allows you to schedule a job and the job will run at the date and time scheduled until you delete the CRON statement.
Initially, you may consider this to be too technical for you, but not so if you will carefully read this article. It is a function of which you should be aware. Even if you do not need it now, remember about CRON for the day you will need it.
Apache server includes this function and it is easy to use with the graphical interface.
The format for CRON is ?CRON * * * * * Command to execute”
Each asterisk represents a field in the command and can contain the following values. If you do not want to specify a value for that particular field, leave the asterisk in that position in the CRON statement line. Each of the five fields is separated by white space.
Here are the values that each field (left to right) can have other than the asterisk:
Field ——– Value —– Description
minute —– 00-59 ——exact minute the cron executes
hour ——– 00-23 —— hour of the day the cron executes(0 =midnight)
day ——— 01-31 —— day of the month the cron executes
month —— 01-12 —— month of the year the cron executes
weekday — 00-06 —– ay of the week the cron executes(Sunday = 0, Monday = 1, Tuesday = 2, etc)
command —varies —— sequence of commands to execute
What prompted the need for the CRON on our site was our use of the software package that required that we copy the ClickBank master file into a file on the Boomer-eZine website periodically so our copy is kept current with the ClickBank master.
Since we get busy and forget to do this weekly, a method to have our web host perform this automatically was the answer.
The CRON function is very flexible and can be set to run on almost any time frequency you can imagine.
If you specify a minute in the first field and an hour (24 hour clock) in the second field and leave all the other fields as asterisks, the specified program will run on that hour and minute every day. If you want the program to run twice a day at 10 and 11 AM, you can write the CRON as:
CRON 0 10,11 * * * Command to execute
With the proper combinations, you can set up a job to run automatically on almost any schedule that you can imagine.
Let?s try a few. Write a CRON to execute on every Sunday at midnight.
If you got ?0 0 * * 0 Command to execute”, then you are right. The zero in the first position is on the hour. The zero in the second position is midnight. The zero in the fifth position (day of the week) is Sunday. This is what we used for our CRON settings for the CD AD Box update.
Set up a CRON to run once per year on the last day of the year at midnight.
CRON 0 0 31 12 * Command to execute
If you have a graphical interface on your web server, it is easy to enter the CRON information
Sometimes the CRON function is difficult to find in your control panel. If you have difficulty finding it, send an email to the support group for your web host and ask if this is available and if so, where is it located.
As I said earlier, you may not need this right now, but remember it for when it will come in handy for you. It can greatly simplify the work of managing your website.

3 Tips For Finding Online Freelance Writing Jobs by Allison Whitehead
There is big money in finding freelance writing jobs online. Whether you want to write for websites, or for magazines advertising for writers online, or other companies looking for people to write content for them, there is more work out there than you can shake a stick at.
If you can find it.
Knowing where to look is half the battle in finding work. Here are three top tips to help ensure you?re looking in the right places:
1 ? Subscribe to as many free writing ezines as you can. If you search for the terms ?freelance writing?, ?article writing?, ?online writing? and so on, all manner of excellent websites will come up in the results. Many of these offer a regular newsletter, and the best ones have up to date job listings in every issue.
2 ? Sites like Constant Content allow you to post numerous articles and blog entries for free. You only pay a percentage to them if an article sells. Write articles on as many different subjects as possible, write pieces tailored towards requests made by people wanting a specific type of content, and vary your prices to see what sells best. There is the potential to sell a lot of work at this site. I know ? I?ve done it.
3 ? Keep job bank sites that are tailored towards writing bookmarked, and check them every day for relevant jobs. Craigslist, Genuine Jobs and Online Writing Jobs all list writing positions and contracts on a wide variety of subjects. I regularly find a large number of leads at these three sites alone.
The key to successfully finding and selling your writing online lies in persistence, and in knowing where to look. The above leads will send you in the right direction, without any of the hunting around that I had to do in the beginning.
Write new content regularly and post it at Constant Content. Search the job listings on a daily basis. And when you find something you like the look of, apply right then and there. Competition can be fierce, and getting in at the beginning will give you an even better chance of success.

Jobs for Veterans at Arizona Corporation Commission by Gordon Gates
Arizona Government Agency Reaches Out to Hire Veterans
Arizona Corporation Commission Joins HireVeterans.com
by Gordon Gates
Article 15 of the Arizona Constitution establishes the Arizona Corporation Commission. Only 7 states have constitutionally formed Commissions. Arizona is one of only 13 states with elected Commissioners. In the 37 other states, Commissioners are appointed by either the governor or the legislature.
In most states, the Commission is known as the Public Service Commission or the Public Utility Commission. Arizona’s Commission, however, has responsibilities that go beyond traditional public utilities regulation. These additional roles include facilitating the incorporation of businesses and organizations, securities regulation and railroad/pipeline safety. In kind, the Commission is reaching out to U.S. Veterans to fill internal positions to help manage and administer the agency.
In fact, they have joined HireVeterans.com, a leading job board for U.S. Veterans on the internet. This is part of their overall strategy to fill jobs with returning U.S. Veterans.
The State of Arizona offers even more benefits. Employees enjoy special competitive rates on Auto and Home Insurance from Travelers and Liberty Mutual. Computers from Dell and Gateway. Plus discounts of up to 50% on local and national products and services with our State Employee Discount Program.
Employee Discount Program
Group Auto and Home Insurance
Computer Purchase Program
Organization
In November 2000, the voters of Arizona approved a measure, placed on the ballot by the State Legislature, which expanded the size of the Commission from three to five Commissioners. The measure also changed the term of office from one six-year term to a four-year term with the possibility of reelection to one additional (consecutive) four-year term. The initial terms of the two new seats are for two years. In the case of a vacancy, the Governor appoints a Commissioner to serve until the next general election. The Commissioners choose one member from among themselves to serve as Chairman.
The Commissioners have the ultimate responsibility for final decisions on granting or denying rate adjustments, enforcing safety and public service requirements, and approving securities matters.
Executive Director
The Director of the Commission Staff is the Executive Director. The Executive Director serves at the pleasure of the Commissioners, and is responsible to the Commissioners for the day to day operations of all Divisions. Section 40-105, Arizona Revised Statutes, outlines the powers and duties of the Executive Director’s position.
Divisions
The Commission staff is organized into six Divisions. Each Division is headed by a Director who reports to the Executive Director.
Administration
The Administration Division plans, coordinates and directs the administrative and fiscal activities necessary to support the Commissioners and all Divisions of the Commission. The Division also provides information to the general public and media on all Commission activities.
Hearings
The Hearings Division exercises the Commission’s authority to hold public hearings on matters involving the regulation of public service corporations, the sale of securities and the registration of non-municipal corporations. The Hearings Division is also responsible for the Commission’s Docket Control Section.
Utilities
The Arizona Corporation Commission has jurisdiction over the quality of service and rates charged by public service utilities. By state law, public service utilities are regulated monopolies given the opportunity to earn a fair and reasonable return on their investments. What is fair and reasonable in any particular case has been and always will be open to debate in rate hearings before the Commission. Generally, the Commission tries to balance the customers’ interest in affordable and reliable utility service with the utility’s interest in earning a fair profit.
The Utilities Division makes specific recommendations to the Commissioners to assist them in reaching decisions regarding public utility rates, utility finance and quality of service. The Division is responsible for researching and developing utility issues, providing information and evidence in Commission proceedings dealing with utility applications, and monitoring the quality of utility service, and the rates approved by the Commissioners. Additionally, Division staff inspects gas pipelines for safety, operates a railroad safety program and maintains the official documents of proceedings before the
Commission
All rate changes require approval of the Commission in an Open Meeting. Staff preparation for a major rate hearing begins at the time of utility’s initial filing, and takes approximately four to six months before the hearing takes place. Work efforts between the time of filing and hearing include a review of past Commission actions, a review of documents on file with the Commission, an audit of the books and records of the utility, discussions with utility personnel and other interested parties, formulation of the staff recommendation, an analysis of the impacts of the recommendation, and preparation of written testimony and schedules.
Securities
The Securities Division strives to ensure the integrity of the securities marketplace through investigative actions as well as the registration and/or oversight of securities, securities dealers and brokers, investment advisers and their representatives; to enhance legitimate capital formation; and to minimize the burden and expense of regulatory compliance by legitimate business.
The Division reviews prospective offerings of securities to ascertain that full and fair disclosure is made to potential securities investors and that the terms of offerings are not inherently fraudulent.
Certain securities dealers, salespersons, investment advisers, and investment adviser representatives are required to register with the Division. The Division reviews these applications and monitors the conduct of investment advisers, dealers and salespersons; investigates possible violations; and when the evidence warrants, initiates administrative or civil actions, or refers cases for criminal prosecution.
Corporations
The Corporations Division approves for filing all articles of incorporation for Arizona businesses; all articles of organization for limited liability companies; grants authority to foreign corporations to transact business in this state; propounds interrogatories when necessary to determine a company’s lawful purpose; and revokes the corporate charters of those corporations which choose to not comply with Arizona law. The Division collects from every corporation an annual report which reflects its current status, business, and financial condition; maintains this information in a format conducive to public access; responds to public questions concerning Arizona businesses and corporation law; and responds to the needs of the business sector by disseminating whatever information is mission-critical to them in the most expedient and cost-effective manner possible.
Any significant changes to Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Organization for Limited Liability Companies in the form of amendments, mergers, consolidations, dissolutions or withdrawals are also filed with the Division. All filings are public record and available for inspection.
Legal
The Legal Division provides legal assistance, advice and representation to the Commissioners and each Division of the Corporation Commission except the Securities Division. Matters handled by the Legal Division fall into five general categories: Commission dockets, Federal regulatory dockets, litigation, other administrative matters and special projects.
Most of the Division’s resources are devoted to Commission hearings. Major rate cases, such as those involving firms like the Arizona Public Service Company and Qwest, where tens of millions of dollars in potential rate increases are at stake, take several months to prepare and require close coordination with the Commissioners, staff and professional consultants.
Information Technology
The mission of the Information Technology (IT) Division is to provide accurate, efficient and timely technology design, development, implementation, communications and maintenance support services to the agency and its respective divisions in support of their missions and objectives.
The State of Arizona is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act, the State will make reasonable accommodation(s) during the employment process.
Chairman Mike Gleason
Mike Gleason was born in Iowa, where he lived on a farm before joining the United States Navy during World War II. After his discharge from the Navy in 1947, he enrolled at Iowa State College, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in forestry in 1950. In 1951, he received a Masters Degree in range management from Texas A&M, and two years later, Gleason was awarded a PhD in plant physiology from Iowa State.
Gleason’s private-sector experience in applied agricultural sciences spans nearly 40 years of employment with the Rockefeller Foundation, Pacific Oilseeds, Monsanto and Cargill, Inc. During this period, his duties required that he reside in Mexico, and later, France. Other responsibilities took Gleason on frequent travels throughout the world, including Peru, Kenya, Bangladesh, Senegal, Zaire, the Ivory Coast, Nigeria and Pakistan.
Employee Benefits and Work/Life Options
The state of Arizona offers a variety of careers and benefits for state employees. If you want challenging work, friendly co-workers, flexible work options, and if health benefits and retirement programs are important to you, consider your options at the state of Arizona.
We are committed to offering a work environment that helps state employees achieve greater success at work and at home. Employees may be able to use the following options to help manage responsibilities at home and at work.

Nursing Jobs On The Rise by Robyn Knapp
It has been predicted that the baby boomer generation will be the most effected by the changes health care system with regard to nursing care. The current health care system is in a state of flux. With insurance companies constantly raising rates and premiums, and the hospital stays becoming less frequent, the end result is that health care must extend to the home. The impact of this new era of home care will have various effects on the population that is served. Although it is true that home care has been in existence for almost as many years as the profession of nursing itself, the amount of clients that home care now serves is quite a bit larger than the past as well as more medically demanding. What this situation implies for the nursing profession is a larger responsibility in ensuring that clients who are discharged within one to two days receive the necessary teaching and follow up nursing care to ensure progressive healing and a maximum return to wellness.
In order to help ensure the goal for the client after discharge, the hospital nurse must be acutely aware of what the clients teaching needs will be from the time of admission.
For instance, those clients that have chronic respiratory disorders will need to be taught how to assess themselves for the danger signs and symptoms of circulatory overload. The patient needs to be taught that a weight gain more than one to two pounds per day may indicate circulatory overload and lead to respiratory distress. While this teaching plan may seem simplistic, the fact remains that many of these respiratory compromised clients are released from the hospital prior to their blood work and medical condition stabilizing.
The problems arise when the client is not functioning at a cognitive level to utilize the teaching from the nurse. Even more crucial is the need for family to be involved and their desire and willingness to participate in home care. When all falls through, which happens more frequently than not, the client is the one who suffers the consequences. As it happens, family cannot always coordinate with the nurse?s schedule, follow through teaching may not be completed by the nurse on that particular shift. Sometimes by no ones fault, the system fails the patient just from lack of time. The solutions to this dilemma cannot be elucidated in one or two sentences. As the old saying goes, ?it takes a village to raise a child”, ?similarly it takes a village to promote the wellness of an individual”. With this said, one can infer the difficulties in promoting the physical and emotional wellness of a client recently discharged from the hospital.
To at least begin to offer some solution?s, would be to hire more nurses. Since this is not logical in keeping with the hospitals policy to save monies, there has to be other possible solutions. One solution would entail a network that extends from the hospital to the home. The homecare nurse begins working with the patient and nurse before discharge. Facilitation of communication, along with the care of genuinely concerned individuals involved in the health care system will make a positive difference in the quality of the client?s life.

The Jobs Of Celebrities Before They Were Famous by Gail Kenny
Anyone who is becoming disillusioned with their online job search and has found themselves looking enviously onto the effortless lives of celebrities can take comfort in the fact that they haven?t always had it this easy. Even the most glamorous celebs have crumpled discarded CVs that they?d rather we never see. Fortunately, the internet has made it rather easy to research celebrities? embarrassing occupations before they were famous?
Without further ado, here?s a list of 10 celebrities? jobs from before they were famous:
Sir Bob Geldof ? Pea Canner
The outspoken former frontman of the Boomtown Rats and face of the ?Make Poverty History? movement took on all kinds of dead-end jobs before finding his calling in music. He worked as a road navvy, a hot dog vendor, a slaughterman and finally an exciting career in pea canning before getting a job as a music journalist in Canada.
Sylvester Stallone ? Porn Star
Stallone?s tough reputation may have begun in one of his first pre-celebrity jobs ? a lion cage cleaner! Years later, after dropping out of Miami University, Stallone pursued his acting dreams, but the ?Rocky? star had a long way to go before he was famous and his place in Hollywood history ? one of his first films was called ?Party at Kitty and Stud?s?, which is exactly as high brow as it sounds. This silver screen ?classic? was a hardcore pornographic film, which has since been repackaged on the back of Stallone?s success as a softcore release entitled ?Italian Stallion? ? a reference to Rocky Balboa?s nickname.
Rod Stewart ? The Grave Digger
After trying out for a football career with Scottish giants Celtic and London minnows Brentford, a young Rod Stewart decided the glamorous career of a footballer wasn?t for him and opted for the not-so-glamorous career as a grave digger. He wasn?t there for too long though, before pursuing a career in music. The Maggie May songwriter took up street singing, travelling around Europe? indeed he was actually deported from Spain for vagrancy for his art!
Madonna ? Dunkin? Donuts Worker
Madonna is now one of the best selling female music artists of all time, but somehow this will have seemed an unlikely scenario for her 20 year old self upon arriving in New York with just $35 to her name. Over the course of these tough months before she became famous, the ?Like a Prayer? singer made ends meet by taking on a range of low paying jobs including a stint serving customers at ?Dunkin? Donuts?. An exhibitionist even in those days, she also took on some nude modelling work to supplement the limited fast-food income before finding her celebrity job calling?
Michael Dell ? Dishwasher
At the age of 12 the founder of Dell computers, Michael Dell was washing dishes in a Chinese restaurant for $2.30 an hour. With Dell Inc. now worth over $16 billion, I would hope that the CEO is allowing himself a better salary than he earned at the restaurant.
Helen Mirren ? Amusement Park Promoter
Long before she was famous and had won her oscar, SAG Awards, BAFTAs, Golden Globes and Emmy Awards, Dame Helen Mirren had the slightly less glamourous role of attracting punters to use the rides at an amusement park in Southend on Sea. It?s unclear whether she won as many accolades in this period of her life?
Paul Daniels - Accountant
The magician and entertainer Paul Daniels was in the army, serving in Hong Kong during his national service. On his return he began training as an accountant in the civil service before leaving to run a small mobile grocery business owned by his parents. While performing magic in the evenings, the door to show business was eventually opened to him.
Jack Nicholson ? Mailroom Worker
The veteran actor and star of classics like A Few Good Men, The Shining and One Flew Over the Cuckoo?s Nest was reportedly discovered working in MGM?s mailroom. Before that, the three times Oscar winner had worked in a toy store and as a lifeguard.
Jerry Seinfeld ? Lightbulb Retailer
Before he became famous as a comedian and sitcom star, Jerry sold lightbulbs over the phone. After no doubt being on the end of several aggressive customers, Jerry made fun of his former career on his hit sitcom by telling a cold-caller that it was a bad time and asking if he could call them back later when they?re at home trying to relax.
Brad Pitt ? Man in a Chicken Suit
Now regarded as one of the most desirable men on the planet, you?d be hard pushed to see that in Brad Pitt when he handed out flyers outside El Pollo Loco Restaurant in Los Angeles dressed in a chicken suit! Even the role of refrigerator delivery man, although a step up, is a far cry from his current status! As the most embarrassing celebrity job in the list, we can?t imagine Brad looks back fondly on his occupations before he was famous!
So, aside from a slight feeling of smugness, what have we gained from seeing what these celebrities? occupations before they were famous? Not much, but it?s clear that celebrities come from all walks of life and you never know when you might be spotted. Hopefully that?ll give you the impetus to return to your online job search with renewed vigour, afterall sir Bob Geldof wasn?t stuck canning peas forever!
