Margaret Thatcher, for “blazing a trail.” Adrianne Haslet-David, for “vowing to dance again” after she lost a foot in the Boston bombing. Diana Nyad, who “swam a really long way” (just kidding, who “persevered”). In its new commercial, which premiered during the Golden Globes Sunday night, Bing flashes images of these women, as well as of Gabrielle Giffords, Janet Yellen, Antoinette Tuff, Angela Merkel, Edith Windsor, Deb Cohan, and female troops, while girl-power anthemist Sara Bareilles sings “I wanna see you be brave” in the background. The chancellor of Germany and a Pakistani teen activist are strange bedfellows, perhaps, but companies can cast a wide net when their only criteria for inclusion are “female” and “famous.” Strobist.

Carleton Watkins captured this view of Yosemite’s Mirror Lake while most of the country was engaged in the Civil War. National parks are among the nation’s most cherished natural resources. The National Park Service, a bureau of the U.S. Department of Interior, was created by an act of Congress. On August 25, 1916—101 years ago today—President Woodrow Wilson signed the act into law. A century after its founding, the National Park Service overseas more than 400 sites, in every U.S. state and territory.

One of these sites is California’s Yosemite National Park.

Interview Questions for Recruiters

I clung to interview questions for dear life scared if I let go I would fall into the bad recruiter’s abyss. I also recall that I didn’t learn much about the candidate until I was comfortable enough to take off the training wheels. Slowly I moved away from the guide. I leaned on the guide, but ended my interviews just speaking with the candidate.

I learned to speak with the candidates more & more, only glancing at the guide as if peaking back at my old reliable mentor for reassurance.
