Holy Top Seventeen Misleading Job Titles, Batman!

 Top Misleading Job Titles (Image via FitSmallBusiness.com)

Smutter. Key Hanger. Chick Sexer. You might expect to see these on t-shirts in a mall, but these are actual job titles – and not what you think.

With the right training, you too can be a Digital Overlord, a Comb Capper, or even a Batman (bat ears not included). Or if you skew to the more bizarre: A Bunghole Borer, Scrum Master, or a Back-end Specialist -- these jobs exist. But don't take their titles literally.

FitSmallBusiness.com, the digital business publication, decided to help set things straight for the confused job seeker. The publication scoured the web and broke down some of the most confusing and entertaining job titles that are not what they appear.

⏩ These Are The Top 17 Most Misleading Job Titles:

1) Expert Upsetter ($11.76 per hour for laborer position to $30.32 per hour for a process engineer role.)

No, this isn't a job for those who like to create drama – this position is for someone who sets up and operates a closed-die forging metal machine.

2) Bunghole Borer ($30,814 to $49,738 per year.)

It sounds pretty crude, but this position is for someone who sets up and operates a boring machine (to bore holes in wooden parts – what else?).

3) Evangelist ($44,957 to $83,528 per year.)  

"Evangelist" (Image via FitSmallBusiness.com)

Yeah, not a preacher. This position is actually slapped on for a lot of titles from sales and marketing titles to human resource jobs. A community evangelist, for example, is someone who advocates for a company brand.

4) Smutter ($18,040 to $32,000 per year.)  

"Smutter" (Image via FitSmallBusiness.com)

Not a position for a role in a porn movie, this title is responsible for tending the grain machines that clean up things like dirt, smut and rust from grain after it's been harvested. Feel a little embarrassed now?

5) Chick Sexer (Up to $60,000 per year.)  

"Chick Sexer" (Image via FitSmallBusiness.com)

The only "sex" that factors into this job involves distinguishing the sex of the chicken and other hatchlings right after they're hatched. Believe it or not, it's getting more and more difficult to find quality sexers since the best chicken sexers only boast a 95 percent accuracy rate.

6) Key Hanger (An average of $27,689 per year.)  

"Key Hanger" (Image via FitSmallBusiness.com)

Wouldn't it be nice to take this job at face value? This title is reserved for those who hold the key to a retail establishment. More succinctly, the key hanger is a store manager or assistant manager who holds one of three keys to a store. Feel a little silly?

7) Penetration Tester (Up to $112,141 per year.)  

"Penetration Tester" (Image via FitSmallBusiness.com)

Giggles aside, this job title involves testing a computer system, network or web application to identify any vulnerability from hackers. This position is also referred to as "ethical hacker."  

8) Combat Advisor ($15.11 per hour, to $100.00 per hour.)  

"Combat Advisor" (Image via FitSmallBusiness.com)

Not a military position, this job title refers to a video game designer who specializes in creating virtual combat sequences.  

9) Erection Engineer ($32,877 to $74,927 per year.)  

"Erection Engineer" (Image via FitSmallBusiness.com)

This person oversees everything that goes into erecting major infrastructure and skyscrapers. They handle budgetary concerns, time management, supply cycles and safety compliance.

10) Scrum Master ($82,000 to $120,500 per year.)  

"Scrum Master" (Image via FitSmallBusiness.com)

Sounds dirty, but in this role, you would be facilitating team management structures by allowing groups to self-organize and stay agile.  

11) Back-end Specialist (An average of $42,153 per year.) 

"Back-end Specialist" (Image via FitSmallBusiness.com)

This can refer to one of many job positions in departments ranging from web design to marketing.

12) Batman ($24,000 to $57,000 per year.)  

"Batman" (Image via FitSmallBusiness.com)

Put away your costume, this position has nothing to do with fighting crime. A batman is a historical term for a personal aide to a commissioned officer – like a valet. The modern term is usually a personal assistant.  

13) Specialty Artist (Between $15.19 and $20.27 per hour.)  

"Specialty Artist" (Image via FitSmallBusiness.com)

While all artists usually think of themselves as special, this job title refers to makeup artists. Specifically, this position is available through Ulta, the beauty store chain, and is limited to cosmetic artists with experience relating to M A C cosmetics. Other beauty stores offer similar positions under slightly different titles like Beauty Advisor.  

14) Digital Overlord (An average salary of $73,975 per year.)  

"Digital Overlord" (Image via FitSmallBusiness.com)

Not a video game character, this is a job title used by companies who are searching for an experienced, qualified website manager.  

15) Records Distribution Professional (An average of $37,355 per year.)  

"Records Distribution Professional" (Image via FitSmallBusiness.com)

Sounds fancy, but this is an ultra descriptive term for an office mail clerk.  

16) Comb Capper (From $10,400 to $72,000 per year.)  

"Comb Capper" (Image via FitSmallBusiness.com)

You don't work in a hair salon for this job.  This position works with bees and honeycombs. A comb capper cuts the caps from commercial honeycombs, breaks the comb seals with a scraper, and lifts the honeycomb frames before placing them in the honey extractor.

17) Tonsorial Artist (An average salary of $27,808 per year, with some earning more than $47,000 with tips.)

Having nothing to do with tonsils, the tonsorial artist is a fancy name for a barber or hair stylist.

Game of Thrones: imagined World Combines Romantic and Grotesque Visions of Middle Ages

Winter's coming (HBO)

Take the dragons and the zombies away from the television adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s epic A Song of Ice and Fire novels and you are left with the seemingly authentic portrayal of a pseudo-medieval world. Indeed, Martin was inspired by historical events such as the Wars of the Roses, the Crusades and the Hundred Years’ War.

It is no surprise that Game of Thrones is being used to stimulate interest in medieval studies. Westeros is replete with medieval staples such as knights, queens, broadswords and castles. It’s packed with recognisable medieval characters, including Machiavellian schemers, brutal warriors, noble heroes, paternalistic lords and power-hungry aristocrats.

Of course Game of Thrones is fundamentally ahistorical, taking inspiration from popular myths about many different periods and places. But while it illuminates little about the past, it reveals much about how we imagine that past.

The grotesque
Medieval scholar David Matthews suggests that modern views of the Middle Ages can be categorised as either romantic or grotesque. Game of Thrones features both elements in spades.

The likes of vicious, spoiled king Joffrey Baratheon, his scheming mother Cersei Lannister and psychopathic warlord Ramsey Bolton signify the grotesque. They represent the idea of the Middle Ages as a violent and lawless era. That notion was created by the literati of Renaissance Italy as they sought to rediscover the learning and culture of ancient Greece and Rome. Such views were reinforced by the Reformation, which equated Catholicism with medieval folly.

These attitudes were strengthened during the 18th-century Enlightenment. The “light” of modern reason and objectivity was contrasted against the superstitious “darkness” that had supposedly characterised the medieval period. In this way, the Middle Ages became a foil against which to measure the achievements of modernity.

If the Middle Ages have become a shorthand for brutality, they can also highlight the supposed inadequacies of non-Western societies. Since the September 11 terrorist attacks, it has become routine among Western officials and journalists to label Islamic extremists as “medieval”. In 2015, US Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina even claimed that her degree in medieval history would help her fight Islamic State.

Such attitudes can be identified in Game of Thrones. The brown-skinned slave-trading Dothraki are portrayed as a Mongol-esque horde whose primary characteristic is primitive savagery. Daenerys Targaryen, a claimant to the throne of Westeros who liberates thousands from servitude in the neighbouring continent of Essos, is portrayed as a white saviour bringing freedom to oriental slaves.

Mother of dragons, liberator of slaves: Daenerys Targaryen. (HBO)

Meanwhile in Westeros, where the central story unfolds, slavery was outlawed centuries ago. The underlying assumption here is that societies progress towards civilisation over time. The imagined land of Westeros borrows much from an earlier period in Western development. But the eastern continent of Essos is home to societies bearing cultural hallmarks aligning them with the Middle and Far East. Some of them are presented as more refined than their Western counterparts, but also more amoral, thus echoing Western views of the east that have been powerful in our own world since the Crusades.

The romantic
There is also much to admire in the protagonists we root for. Daenerys, the heroic Jon Snow and the honourable and doomed Ned Stark are examples of the “romantic” Middle Ages. They are brave, honourable, noble and just, sitting within a vision of the medieval past informed by ideas about chivalry and morality.

Such figures hark back to older views of the Middle Ages as a heroic age in which individuals could make their own moral choices. Think of T. H. White’s Arthur, Walter Scott’s Ivanhoe, and the numerous retellings of the Robin Hood legend. Looking further back, we see these same tropes in Thomas Mallory’s Arthurian romances, themselves composed at the very end of the medieval era.

In all cases the main characters champion the oppressed and challenge established authorities which lack moral legitimacy, just like our heroes in Game of Thrones.

But the aristocratic status of the Starks and Targaryens also represents social order and cohesion. These rival families do not seek to tear down the existing hierarchy in Westeros, but rather to remodel it along more just and benevolent lines. This tallies with an image of the Middle Ages as a golden era of stability, when everyone knew their role and had clearly defined responsibilities towards one another. For 19th-century thinkers, including John Ruskin and William Morris, the medieval period was a model through which humanity might from escape from the cruel vicissitudes of industrial capitalism.

Character development: Arya Stark. (HBO)

Yet the powerful women in Game of Thrones are indisputably modern. Daenerys, Cersei Lannister and Arya Stark, who has grown from tomboyish daughter to deadly assassin, are symbols of feminist empowerment, taking on roles traditionally reserved for men. Interestingly, the only character truly adhering to knightly ideals is Brienne of Tarth, who dresses and behaves like a knight but cannot actually be one, because of her gender.

That said, the degradation and abuse that many female characters endure – which sparked accusations of misogyny – is of course grotesque rather than romantic.

Achieving balance
What Game of Thrones does so well is balance these elements. Too much violence and many fans would turn off in disgust. Too much high-minded moralising and the show would feel sanitised and lacking a genuine sense of peril. Perhaps that is why the adventures of characters such as Arya, Cersei’s brother Jaime Lannister, their enforcer Sandor Clegane and above all the charming and Machiavellian Tyrion Lannister make for such compelling viewing. They operate in the borderlands between the “grotesque” and the “romantic”, making them admirable and repugnant in equal measure.

Tyrion Lannister: scheming, charming, charismatic. (HBO)

More broadly, the series tells us something about how its audience may feel about society today. Most of us are glad to have advanced beyond the barbarism we associate with the Middle Ages. But many also feel that values of duty and social responsibility have been lost along the way.

How we conceptualise the present is inevitably influenced by how we imagine the past. In terms of selling a story, therefore, the accuracy or otherwise of the medieval vision that Game of Thrones presents is irrelevant.

#BepiColombo: Europe Blasts Off To Mercury – Here's The Rocket Science

BepiColombo MPO at Mercury (Spacecraft ESA, Mercury NASA, Author provided)

The European Space Agency (ESA) has launched its BepiColombo mission to the planet Mercury from its spaceport near the equator in Kourou, French Guyana, on October 20. My involvement in the mission means that I will be anxiously following the journey as the spacecraft carries out a series of tricky manoeuvres, culminating in its final approach to Mercury in 2025.

The mission comes 25 years after a group of scientists first proposed to ESA that it should send a probe to Mercury, and 18 years after ESA approved the project as a “cornerstone” mission. This is the category of world class, scientifically excellent missions needing significant new technology development. Previous ESA cornerstone missions include the Rosetta comet mission and the LISA Pathfinder gravitational wave observatory.

But why Mercury? It is a puzzling planet. NASA’s MESSENGER orbiter (2011-2015) revealed many reasons why scientists are keen to learn more about it. These include the planet’s abnormally large core – we don’t know why it is still molten and able to generate a magnetic field, unlike that of Mars or Venus. Another mystery is the abundance of (largely unidentified) volatile substances at its surface. These ought not to have been incorporated in a planet that formed so close to the sun as Mercury now is.

The rocket science 
BepiColombo’s initial course after three days of orbiting the Earth for checkouts will be an elliptical orbit about the sun. This will begin by taking it inside the Earth’s orbit. But early in 2019, it will cross outside it for most of the year. It will then move back inside before coming very close to the Earth in April 2020.

BepiColombo launch and separation timeline. (ESA)

At that time it will make a “gravity-assist” flyby – using the Earth’s gravity to swing itself inwards towards Venus. There will also be a gravity-assist flyby of Venus when it gets there in 2020, followed by yet another in 2021 to send it towards Mercury. Then, there will be a series of six similar flybys of Mercury in 2021-2025, needed to ensure that the spacecraft eventually closes in on its target at a slow enough speed to be captured into orbit around it in December 2025.

Each flyby, shown in the animation above, has to be executed perfectly. Things could go wrong, especially during the launch, but I have ample confidence in the abilities of ESA’s flight control team at Darmstadt, Germany.

Stacked spacecraft 
The mission, which is named in memory of Giuseppe (Bepi) Colombo who first proposed gravity-assist flybys for spacecraft, is a joint venture between ESA and its Japanese counterpart, JAXA.

The stacked spacecraft carries two orbiters. ESA’s is a two-metre long unit, massing more than a tonne, referred to as the Mercury Planetary Orbiter, MPO. I suspect that after it begins to orbit Mercury, it will inherit the name of BepiColombo or maybe just Bepi. The Japanese orbiter is smaller, and its mass is about a quarter of ESA’s orbiter. Originally called the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter, MMO, in June it was awarded the name Mio, which in Japanese carries connotations of safe navigation. During the cruise to Mercury, Mio will be housed inside a sunshield and attached to one side of the European orbiter.

On the other side of the orbiter is the Mercury Transfer Module, MTM. This is operated by ESA, and provides the propulsion to take the stacked spacecraft all the way to its Mercury orbit. It has a 7.5-metre long “wing” of solar panels, whose job is to turn sunlight into electricity to power its “ion drive”. This is a propulsion device that creates thrust by accelerating xenon gas that has been positively charged (by stripping its atoms of electrons). This technique can provide much more thrust per mass of fuel than conventional chemical rockets.

The sun’s enormous gravity means that more energy is needed to get into a stable orbit about Mercury than would be needed to send the same spacecraft to vastly more distant Pluto. Because of this, the ion drive will be operated at intervals amounting to about half the cruise duration, mostly to slow the spacecraft down.

Unfortunately, the stacked configuration of the combined spacecraft impedes its ability to do science during the planetary flybys. Some scientific data will be collected, but the best pictures we are likely to get during flybys will be from the selfie-cams mounted on the MTM.

Arriving at Mercury 
On arrival at Mercury in late December 2025, the transfer module will be detached. Mio, spinning at 15 revolutions per minute for stability, will then be liberated into a strongly elliptical orbit about Mercury. As soon as this happens, JAXA will take over Mio operations and guide it through its tasks studying the planet’s magnetic field and the associated space environment.

ESA’s orbiter will then jettison the sunshield, its last impediment, and use its own chemical thrusters to achieve a closer, more circular, orbit about Mercury. From there it will study the planet’s surface by using an assortment of cameras and other instruments. This should pin down the composition and geological history in much better detail than the smaller and less complex MESSENGER. The orbiter will also carry a magnetometer so that both it and Mio will be able to report magnetic conditions at two places simultaneously – an important first for a deep space mission that should teach us about the speed at which disturbances travel through the planet’s magnetic field.

It’s exciting to think that BebiColombo may transform our knowledge of Mercury in just a few years. And while you wait, from October 23, you will be able to listen to some beautiful, evocative music that the planet has inspired as part of the Planets 2018 project. This was set up to commemorate the centenary of Gustav Holst’s Planets Suite with music inspired by the science of the planets.

New Book by Paul Orwell Compares Back to the Future Bully Biff Tannen to President Trump

"Sad! Donald 'Biff' Trump is President" - Front Cover

A new book from Oceania Press will be released on Back To The Future Day – this Sunday October 21st – which ponders whether Donald Trump, or perhaps The Russian Government, used a time-travelling DeLorean to influence the 2016 Presidential Election.  Debate performances, punchlines and information leaks could have been tweaked after-the-fact to cause the upset win.

The book compares the character of bully Biff Tannen from Back to the Future II to President Trump (referred to as "Biff" Trump in this book) who share physical characteristics (hair, height) as well as the number of wives, a similar business history, and belligerent personalities.

The book's conclusion is that time travel is fanciful but the comparison between the two men is not.  While Biff Tannen did use time travel in Back to the Future II, it was thick skin, stubborn persistence and showmanship that put Donald 'Biff' Trump into the White House.

Author Paul Orwell draws striking similarities between Biff Tannen and "Biff" Trump and bemoans "the transition from issue politics to 'death by tweet.'"  "We shouldn't have to wake up and wonder who the president is going to bully today," he adds.

The book is critical of Trump but not of Republican politics, and loaded with scene and theme references from the beloved movie series. It discusses why Trump's message resonated with small-town America (Hill Valley, in the movie series).

Donald Trump on women: "You have to treat 'em like s**t"

Trump's well-known quote about women (spoken to friend Philip Johnson, according to New York Magazine) and the other various allegations of Trump's interpersonal misbehavior are compared in the book to the behavior of Biff Tannen, who sexually assaults Lorraine McFly in Back To The Future I and mistreats her in Back to the Future II.  

⏩ The book asks the question: why do we tolerate this behavior from a President when we cannot tolerate it from a movie character?

There are also chapters on President Obama's humiliation of Trump at the White House Correspondent's dinner in April 2011, and how President Pence would be a very different President.

⏩ "Sad! Donald 'Biff' Trump is President" is available as a book and ebook from Amazon.com on Back To The Future Day, October 21st, the day Marty traveled in time in the movie series.

• Back to the Future is the 14th highest grossing (US) movie trilogy of all time and it stars one of the most famous bully characters - Biff Tannen - in movie history.  

• Screenwriter/producer Bob Gale is on the record (Daily Beast, October 21st, 2015) as saying that the character of Biff Tannen in Back to the Future II was based on the Donald Trump of the late 1980's.

About Paul Orwell:

Paul Orwell is the pen name for a businessman who admits to benefiting from Republican tax cuts. He's an immigrant, but the kind the US President currently welcomes to the country. Orwell has lived in London, New York, Moscow and Washington DC, and yearns for an era where political conversation and bi-partisan compromise are possible.
